Renous River

The Renous River is a tributary of the Southwest Miramichi River in New Brunswick, Canada.

The Renous River has its origins south of Holmes Lake in the Miramichi Highlands, part of the Appalachian Mountains, in the northwest corner of Northumberland County.

Renous River system consists of the two major branches, the North and the South, which merge and flow through heavy forests to join the Southwest Miramichi River at the village of Quarryville in Renous.

The river is noted for Atlantic salmon fishing. The annual run of Atlantic salmon occurs from June through October each summer and early autumn. Fishing is restricted to fly fishing only and all large salmon must be released. Salmon fishing in this river is generally best after a spate. Popular salmon flies on the Renous River include the Black Bear series, Butterfly, and Silver Cosseboom. Small deer-hair Buck Bugs are a popular fly in normal water conditions. There is also a local fly pattern known as the Renous Special.

Wheel of Fortune (1951 song)

"Wheel of Fortune" is a popular song written by Bennie Benjamin and George David Weiss and published in 1951. It is best remembered in the 1952 hit version by Kay Starr.

The song was originally recorded in 1951, for RCA Victor by Johnny Hartman, and about the same time for Crescendo Records by Al Costello with the Walter Scott Orchestra. Several hit versions of "Wheel of Fortune" were released in 1952. The first chart hit was by the Eddie Wilcox Orchestra featuring Sunny Gale, whose version reached number 2 on the R&B chart and number 13 on the pop chart. The most successful version was by Kay Starr, whose recording reached number 1 in the US pop chart in March 1952, staying there for ten weeks. Other hit versions in 1952 came from Dinah Washington (number 3, R&B), Bobby Wayne (number 6, pop), The Cardinals (number 6, R&B), and The Bell Sisters (number 10, pop).

The song was also used as the theme to the television series Wheel of Fortune.

In 1998, the 1952 version by Kay Starr was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Grand Traverse Bay

Grand Traverse Bay is an arm of Lake Michigan, located along the west coast of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. The bay is separated from the rest of Lake Michigan by the Leelanau Peninsula. The bay is some 32 mi long, ranges from 7 to 10 mi wide, and up to 620 ft deep in spots. It is the second-largest bay of Lake Michigan, behind Green Bay.

Grand Traverse Bay is further divided into an East Arm and West Arm by the 18 mi Old Mission Peninsula. At the head of both arms of the bay is Traverse City, the largest city in Northern Michigan. The area surrounding the bay is renowned for its fruit production, especially for cherries and viticulture.

The bay is located within parts of the Michigan counties of Antrim, Charlevoix, Grand Traverse, and Leelanau.

Etymology
Grand Traverse Bay earned its name from 18th-century French voyageurs who made la grande traverse, or "the long crossing", across the mouth of bay. The area was owned by the French, followed by Great Britain as the Province of Quebec. After 1776, the area was owned by the Americans. On Old Mission peninsula, Rev Peter Doughtery started the first permanent settlement in 1839. This was called "Grand Traverse", but was later renamed to Old Mission.

Geography
Traverse City is situated at the south end of the bay where the Boardman River empties into the west arm. Cherry orchards line the bay region, giving rise to Traverse City's claim to be the Cherry Capital of the World. Several nationally known companies offer cherry-based products made with Northern Michigan tart cherries including Traverse Bay Farms, Cherry Central, Fruit Advantage, American Spoon, Cherry Republic and Old Mission Traders (formerly Cherry Stop). The region is the center of cherry production in Michigan.

The most notable feature of the bay is that it is bisected into East and West arms by the Old Mission Peninsula. In addition, Grand Traverse is divided further into several important smaller bays, including Northport Bay, Suttons Bay, Omena Bay, Bowers Harbor, and Old Mission Bay. Northport Bay, located at the northwest corner of Grand Traverse Bay is about 10 mi long and 4 mi wide. Northport Bay open to the east, except inside the arms at each end, with the Leelanau Peninsula on the West side. There are several shoals in Northport Bay marked by buoys. Bellow Island, a low gravel island covered by shrubs and located near the middle of Northport Bay, is owned by the Nature Conservancy; it is primarily known as a bird rookery, and is sometimes locally called Gull Island.

There are several marinas on the bay, including the large marinas in Northport, Greilickville, Traverse City, and Elk Rapids.

Arms and nested bays
The Grand Traverse Bay is divided by the Old Mission Peninsula into two arms:

East Arm
The East Arm of Grand Traverse Bay (colloquially known as "East Bay") is the deeper of the two arms. The arm is flanked to the west by the Old Mission Peninsula, the south and southeast by mainland Grand Traverse County, and to the east by southwestern Antrim County. The arm's primary inflow is the Elk River, which drains the Chain of Lakes.

West Arm
The West Arm of Grand Traverse Bay (colloquially known as "West Bay") is the shallower and more urbanized of the two arms. The urban core of Traverse City is located at the head of the West Arm. The arm is flanked to the west by the Leelanau Peninsula, and to the east by the Old Mission Peninsula. Power Island is located within the West Arm. The primary inflow of the West Arm is the Boardman River.

Nested bays

 * Bowers Harbor
 * Ingalls Bay
 * Northport Bay
 * Old Mission Harbor
 * Omena Bay
 * Suttons Bay

Islands

 * Bassett Island
 * Bellow Island
 * Power Island

Culture
Besides cherries, the surrounding countryside produces grapes and is one of the centers of the Michigan wine industry. Known for its shimmering blue water and golden sand beaches, the Grand Traverse Bay region is a popular vacation destination.

In September 2007, Mark Holley, an underwater archeologist with the Grand Traverse Bay Underwater Preserve Council who teaches at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City, said that they might have discovered a boulder 3.5 to 4 ft high by 5 ft long) with a prehistoric carving in the Grand Traverse Bay. The granite rock has markings that resemble a mastodon with a spear in its side. Confirmation that the markings are an ancient petroglyph will require more evidence. The stone can be seen in a TV documentary, and is pictured on page 9 of New Scientist Magazine of July 19, 2008.

Shipwrecks
The Grand Traverse Bay is home to the following shipwrecks:

 * A.J. Rogers
 * Metropolis
 * Shale Scow
 * Yuba Wreck
 * Tramp
 * Elmwood
 * Nyord
 * Barge
 * Flora

Unawatuna

Unawatuna is a coastal town in Galle district of Sri Lanka. Unawatuna is a major tourist attraction in Sri Lanka and known for its beach and corals. It is a suburb of Galle, about 5 km southeast to the city center and approximately 108 km south of Colombo. Unawatuna is situated at an elevation of 5 m above the sea level. Despite significant development in the last decade it is still home to the endangered and endemic purple-faced langur, an unusually shy monkey species that can only be found in Sri Lanka's forests.

From Ramayana
The description of the beach paradises in Valmiki's epic Ramayana sounds like Unawatuna.

 * "a seashore dotted with thousands of trees, coconuts, and palms dominating, strings of houses and hermitages along the coastline, human beings and superior beings such as Gandharvas, Siddhas, and ascetics, living in them and countless bejewelled celestial nymphs thronging the shore, the coast intermittently visited by heavenly beings, Gods and demons.":

Unawatuna traces its roots to the great epic Ramayana. In the epic, the monkey-warrior Hanuman was sent back to India to fetch the four medicinal herbs by Jambavan namely, mritasanjeevani, vishalyakarani, suvarnakarani, and sandhani from the Himalayas in order to heal Lakshman who was wounded trying to save the abducted Princess Sita from the demon king Ravana. Hanuman failed to identify these herbs, so he lifted the entire mountain and carried it to the battlefield to try to save Lakshman, but in the process, a chunk of it "fell-down" in the location of the present day Unawatuna, the name of the village derives from "Una-watuna" meaning "fell down".

Currently, an edifice is being built in honour of Hanuman on the harbour end of Rumassala Hill by Japanese monks of the Mahayana sect of Buddhism near the Peace Pagoda that they built.

Alternate mythology
A banished Indian Prince was shipwrecked and the Goddess of Earth, Manimekalai, taking pity created a rocky shelf for him to save his life and that subsequently he headed to Unawatuna. The Goddess of Chastity, Pattini, created a wall of fire to prevent him coming ashore, but being a person of some supreme power, he set in motion a tsunami with his foot to extinguish the fire and set foot on the shores of Unawatuna.

It is said that he lived in Unawatuna and helped the people in various ways. Over the years he has been venerated and worshiped, and the Kovil (or Devalaya) on the west end point of the bay which has a history of over a thousand years is believed to be the abode of this Devol deity.

Dagaba

In later years a Buduge, or House of Buddha, and the Swethamalee Chaitiya, or Dagaba, was built on the hillock abutting the Devalaya, or House of Gods. Thousands of pilgrims throng to this place of worship every month of Esala to offer poojas. This festival is a new rice offering so most cultivators bring a share of their crop and pray for timely rain and plentiful harvest. Some others save a fistful of rice from their daily meal and offer that rice, still others would purchase a few measures or even full gunnies of rice along with coconuts to offer.

This rice is pounded and mixed with coconut milk and treacle and made into a porridge which is then offered to the deities at the devalaya and given as alms to thousands of devotees who will trek to the devalaya for this alms giving or Maha Deva Dana or Kiri Dana. Fisher folk save and offer part of their earnings called "Goda kotasa" seeking protection on their forays into the ocean.

Colonial period
After defeating the Portuguese at the Fort of Negombo, the Dutch sailed south and landed on Unawatuna in 1640 and marched to Galle. The Portuguese had encountered the Dutch soldiers at Magalle (where the Closenberg Hotel is now located), and fierce fighting took place there. Over 400 Dutch soldiers were killed, and only 49 Portuguese could manage to get back to their fortification in Galle, where they were held in siege for four days before they surrendered.

The Dutch built houses for their officials in Unawatuna. These constructions include the Nooit Gedacht Hotel, Unawatuna Hospital and the mansion Maharambe. The UBR hotel is situated on a land called Parangiyawatta, meaning "land of the Portuguese", and the area nearby is known as Ja-kotuwa, suggesting that it was the settlement of Ja or Javanese people better known as Hollanders and there may have been some fortification.

The Galle tower or Edward's Pillar on Rumassala Hill is believed to have been a fake lighthouse built during World War I, and the area is shown as property of the British Admiralty in old survey maps.

Eco-Tourism
Unawatuna is rich in its biodiversity. Its greatest potential attraction for eco-tourism was the marsh land or mangrove, Kadolana, which was partially dredged and filled to develop a hotel for a German hotel chain. The development never eventuated. Many locals believe it to have been cursed for being built at the doorstep of the Wella Devalaya.

Over sixty species of endemic birds, including terns, egrets, herons, sandpipers and kingfishers, as well as rarer species such as the lesser whistling duck, the Asian palm swift, the white-breasted waterhen, the Loten's sunbird and the black bittern have been sighted in the locality by the ornithologist, Clive Byers. These birds are mostly sighted in the remaining marshy area and Rumassala Hillock.

Off the coast of Unawatuna, beneath the Indian Ocean lies a number of coral reefs, shipwrecks, and a great variety of fish and  turtles. The turtles still wade onto the shore to lay their nests and eggs, and at times, as if to lay first claim to the sandy shore now invaded by the tourists and dotted by restaurateurs, even go right into the beach front restaurants.

The Rumassala coral reefs at the east end of the Galle Harbor attract divers, but are now endangered due to possible port development. Eco treks in the shrub jungles of Rumassala are also available.

Current status
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami swept away many beach front restaurants and has devastated the sandy beach to a great extent, marring what was once claimed to be one of the twelve best beaches in the world. It is still considered to be one of the best 100 beaches of the world.

Beginning on December 14, 2011, many illegal structures were cleared from the beachfront.

Transport
Unawatuna is located on the Coastal or Southern Rail Line (connecting Colombo through to Matara), and the A2 highway, connecting Colombo to Wellawaya.

Facilities

 * Unawatuna railway station
 * Unawatuna Post Office
 * Unawatuna Hospital
 * Unawatuna Maha Vidyalaya
 * Buona Vista College

Attractions

 * Unawatuna Beach and coral reefs
 * Unawatuna Peace Pagoda

Blue Tango

"Blue Tango" is an instrumental composition by Leroy Anderson, written for orchestra in 1951 and published in 1952. It was later turned into a popular song with lyrics by Mitchell Parish. Numerous artists have since covered "Blue Tango".

Song history
An instrumental version of "Blue Tango" recorded by Anderson (Decca Records, catalog number 27875, with the flip side "Belle of the Ball" ) reached number one on the Billboard chart in 1952. (According to other sources, the Anderson recording first reached the charts on December 29, 1951.) Billboard ranked it as the number one song of 1952. The same recording was released in 1952 by Brunswick Records (United Kingdom) as catalog number 04870, with the same flip side.

Hugo Winterhalter and his orchestra recorded "Blue Tango" at Manhattan Center, New York City, on January 22, 1952. It was released by RCA Victor as catalog number 20-4518A, with the flip side "Gypsy Trail". This version first reached the Billboard Best Seller chart on February 29, 1952 and lasted 18 weeks on the chart, peaking at No. 8. (Other sources give the first date on the charts as March 8, 1952, and the highest position as No. 6.) It was also released in Great Britain by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalog number B 10277.

Les Baxter and his orchestra released a version of "Blue Tango" by Capitol Records as catalog number 1681, with the flip side "Because of You". This version first reached the Billboard Best Seller chart on March 14, 1952 and lasted 9 weeks on the chart, peaking at No. 22. (Other sources give the first date on the charts as March 15, 1952, and the highest position as No. 10.) This version was also released by Capitol Records in the United States as catalog number 1966, in Australia as catalog number CP-117 and in the United Kingdom as catalog number CL 13703, all with the flip side "Please Mr. Sun".

A recording of the song by Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians was released by Decca Records as catalog number 28031, with the flip side "At Last, At Last". This version first reached the Billboard Best Seller chart on April 11, 1952 and lasted 10 weeks on the chart, peaking at No. 16.

A vocal version was recorded by Alma Cogan in the United Kingdom in 1952. The song was also featured on the first UK Singles Chart the same year in another instrumental recording by orchestra leader Ray Martin.

The song was subsequently revived by Bill Black's Combo. This recording was released by Hi Records as catalog number 2027, with the flip side "Willie". It first reached the Billboard charts on December 12, 1960 and lasted 7 weeks on the chart. On the composite chart of the top 100 songs, it reached No. 16. This version (with the same flip side) was also released in Australia by London Records, as catalog number HL-1735.

Instrumentation
Anderson originally wrote "Blue Tango" for an orchestra consisting of two flutes, one piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets in B-Flat, two bassoons; four horns in F, three trumpets in B-Flat, two tenor trombones, bass trombone, tuba; a percussion section consisting of snare drum, bass drum and glockenspiel; and strings.

Amanda Lear version
French singer Amanda Lear recorded her own version of "Blue Tango", providing it with self-penned lyrics. The recording was included on her debut 1977 album I Am a Photograph and released as a 7" single in the Netherlands and Russia. The single was not a commercial success and did not chart.

Music videos
The music video referenced rumours on her alleged transsexualism, which circulated in media at that time. The clip opens with Lear wearing a mannish attire, a black tie and a bowler hat. The singer then "transforms" herself into a woman, taking the costume off and revealing a long bright dress. The video was first aired in Italian TV show Odeon on 18 October 1977.

Another music video was produced for a popular German TV show Musikladen. It pictures the singer sat at the table while performing the song and smoking a cigarette. In 1982, another video for "Blue Tango" was released for Italian TV show Premiatissima, which Lear hosted at that time. The singer is pictured wearing a flamenco dress and repeating dance routines accompanied by male dancers. The video premiered on 25 December 1982 and was later included in Lear's Italian television special Ma chi è Amanda?.

Dungarvon River

The Dungarvon River is a tributary of the Renous River in New Brunswick, Canada.

The Dungarvon River has its origins at several lakes in the Miramichi Highlands, part of the Appalachian Mountains, in the northeast corner of York County.

Generally flowing southeast through heavy forests, the Dungarvon River joins the Renous River at Grainfield, several kilometres northwest of the community of Renous, where the Renous River joins the Main Southwest Miramichi River.

The river is noted for Atlantic salmon fishing, and is immortalized by the legend of the Dungarvon Whooper and in the Brennen Siding Trilogy by Canadian writer Herb Curtis.

There is limited road access to the Dungarvon, as it largely flows through deeply forested terrain. One method of fishing the Dungarvon is to float it by canoe with an experienced guide and stop and fish likely looking pools along the way. A licensed guide is required for Non-Residents to fish for Atlantic salmon in New Brunswick.

The annual run of Atlantic salmon occurs from mid-June through late September of each summer and early fall. Angling for Atlantic salmon is restricted to fly fishing only and all large salmon must be released. Popular flies on the Dungarvon River include both the Cosseboom and the Black Bear series. There is also a local fly pattern known as the Dungarvon Special.

It is the topic of a song by Canadian Grunge Band "Metal Skirts" fronted by lead singer Derrick Timmermans.

Race stage

A race stage, leg, or heat is a unit of a race that has been divided in several parts for the reason such as length of the distance to be covered, as in a multi-day event. Usually, such a race consists of "ordinary" stages, but sometimes stages are held as an individual time trial or a team time trial. Long races such as the Tour de France, Absa Cape Epic or the Giro d'Italia are known for their stages of one day each, whereas the boat sailing Velux 5 Oceans Race is broken down in usually four stages of several weeks duration each, where the competitors are racing continuously day and night. In bicycling and running events, a race with stages is known as a stage race.

Bicycle race stage
In an ordinary stage of road bicycle racing, all riders start simultaneously and share the road. Riders are permitted to touch and to shelter behind each other. Riding in each other's slipstreams is crucial to race tactics: a lone rider has little chance of outracing a small group of riders who can take turns in the strenuous position at the front of the group. The majority of riders form a single large group, the "pack" (in French, the "peloton"), with attacking groups ahead of it and the occasional struggling rider dropping behind. In mountainous stages the peloton is likely to become fragmented, but in flat stages a split is rare.

Where a group of riders reach the finish line together, they do not race each other for a few seconds of improvement to their finishing time. There is a rule that if one rider finishes less than three seconds behind another then he is credited with the same finishing time as the first. This operates transitively, so when the peloton finishes together every rider in it gets the time of the rider at the front of the peloton, even though the peloton takes tens of seconds, and possibly even a couple of minutes, to cross the finish line.

Riders who crash within the last three kilometres of the stage are credited with the finishing time of the group that they were with when they crashed, if that is better than the time in which they actually finish. This avoids sprinters being penalized for accidents that do not accurately reflect their performance on the stage as a whole given that crashes in the final three kilometre can be huge pileups that are hard to avoid for a rider farther back in the peloton. A crashed sprinter inside the final three kilometres will not win the sprint, but avoids being penalised in the overall classification.

Stages in flat terrain
Ordinary stages can be further classified as "sprinters' stages" or "climbers' stages". The former tend to be raced on relatively flat terrain, which makes it difficult for small groups or individual cyclists to break away from the peloton—there are no big hills to slow it down. So more often than not, the entire peloton approaches the finish line en masse. Some teams are organized around a single specialized sprinter, and in the final kilometres of a sprint stage, these teams jockey for position at the front of the peloton. In the final few hundred metres, a succession of riders "lead out" their sprinter, riding very hard while he stays in their slipstream. Just before the line—200 metres away is about the maximum—the sprinter launches himself around his final lead-out man in an all-out effort for the line. Top speeds can be in excess of 72 km/h (about 45 mph). Sprint stages rarely result in big time differences between riders (see above), but contenders for the General Classification tend to stay near the front of the peloton to avoid crashes.

Mountain stages
Mountain stages, on the other hand, often do cause big "splits" in the finishing times, especially when the stage actually ends at the top of a mountain. (If the stage ends at the bottom of a mountain that has just been climbed, riders have the chance to descend aggressively and catch up to anyone who may have beaten them to the summit.) For this reason, the mountain stages are considered the deciding factor in most Tours, and are often attended by hundreds of thousands of spectators.

Mountains cause big splits in finishing times due to the simple laws of physics. Firstly, the slower speeds mean that the aerodynamic advantage gained by slipstreaming is much smaller. Furthermore, lighter riders generate more power per kilogram than heavier riders; thus, the sprinters and the rouleurs (all-around good cyclists), who tend to be a bit bigger, suffer on the climbs and lose much time—40 minutes over a long stage is not unheard-of. Generally, these riders form a group known as the "bus" or "autobus" and ride at a steady pace to the finish. Their only goal is to cross the line within a certain limit—usually the stage winner's time plus 15% – or else they'll be disqualified from the race (at the discretion of the officials; on rare occasions a lead breakaway becomes so large that the entire peloton falls that far back and would normally be allowed to remain in the competition to avoid having only a small field still in competition). Meanwhile, the lighter climbers hurl themselves up the slopes at a much higher speed. Usually, the General Classification riders try to stay near the front group, and also try to keep a few teammates with them. These teammates are there to drive the pace—and hopefully "drop" the opposition riders—and to provide moral support to their leader. Typically, the leader will attack very hard when there are only a few kilometres to go, trying to put time into his main rivals. Gaps of two and even three minutes can be created over just a few kilometres by hard attacks.

Medium mountain stages
In larger stage races, some stages may be designated as "medium mountain", "hilly" or "intermediate" stages. These stages are more difficult than flat stages, but not as difficult as the mountain stages. They are often well-suited for a breakaway (as described below). Occasionally, the distinction between medium mountain and mountain in stage classification, decided by race officials, can be controversial. The Giro d'Italia has had a reputation of labeling selective, very difficult stages as merely medium mountain.

"Breakaway" stages
Lastly, a handful of stages each year are known as being "good for a breakaway"—when one or a few riders attacks the peloton and beats it to the finish line. Typically these stages are somewhere between flat and mountainous. Breakaway stages are where the rouleurs, the hard-working, all-around riders who make up the majority of most teams, get their chance to grab a moment in the spotlight. (The climbers will want to save their energy for the mountains, and the sprinters are not built for hills.)

Special rules
In the big multi-day events like the Tour or the Giro, there is a secondary competition on points (e.g. Points classification in the Tour de France), which tends to be contested by sprinters. Riders collect points for being one of the first to finish the stage and also for being one of the first three to finish an "intermediate" sprint. Sprinters also can get time bonuses, meaning that good sprinters may lead the general classification during the first few stages of a big multi-day event.

NASCAR stage racing
In NASCAR racing, starting with the 2017 season, races in the top three national touring series are completed in three stages, four in the case of the NASCAR Cup Series's longest race, the Coca-Cola 600. A stage consists of normal green flag racing followed by a stoppage on a designated lap signified by the waving of a green and white checkered flag, then a yellow flag. The top-10 finishers in each of the first two stages are awarded bonus championship points. The points earned are added to a driver/owner's regular season points total, while the winner of the stage receives an additional point that can be carried into the NASCAR playoffs. The stage lengths vary by track, but the first two stages usually combine to equal about half of the race. The final stage (which still pays out the most championship points) usually equals the other half. The first driver to win a National Series race under the stage race format was GMS Racing Camping World Truck Series driver Kaz Grala who won the season opener at Daytona International Speedway in February 2017 after holding off Austin Wayne Self.

Round-the-world sailing
Round-the-world sailing races are sometimes held over stages. Notable examples are the Volvo Ocean Race, Velux 5 Oceans Race, Clipper Round the World Yacht Race and Global Challenge.

Talk:Hercules (comics)

Atlas Comics
Atlas Comics? I am doubtful of the entry regarding an Atlas Comics series of Hercules. This is the name that Marvel used in the old days, and DC was publishing their Hercules series in the 70s, and had Wood and Simonson doing artwork, with Hercules set in a post apocalyptic world accompanied by a couple of children. Has someone gotten confused with the DC series???

 * I do not agree with what you are saying because DC comics is almost as long as the Marvel comics Hercules and has alot of information coming with it. In my opinion the DC merits it's own article.User:Redbird 41

Telipinu

Telipinu was the last king of the Hittites Old Kingdom, reigning c. 1525–1500 BC in middle chronology. At the beginning of his reign, the Hittite Empire had contracted to its core territories, having long since lost all of its conquests, made in the former era under Hattusili I and Mursili I – to Arzawa in the West, Mitanni in the East, the Kaskians in the North, and Kizzuwatna in the South.

Family
Telipinu was a son-in-law of Ammuna and brother-in-law of Huzziya I as a husband of Ammuna's daughter Ištapariya. His name was taken from the agricultural god Telipinu.

Alluwamna was a son-in-law of Telipinu, because he married Princess Harapšeki, and Telipinu was her father.

Reign
During Telipinu’s reign, Huzziya and his five brothers were killed. His son and wife were killed by Telepinu's rivals to the throne. The assassins were caught and sentenced to death, but Telepinu showed his desire to stop the bloodshed (many of his predecessors were assassinated or died mysteriously) and banished these assassins instead.

He was able to recover a little ground from the Hurrians of Mitanni, by forming an alliance with the Hurrians of Kizzuwatna; however, with the end of his reign, the Hittite Empire enters a temporary "Dark Ages", the Middle Kingdom, lasting around 70 years, when records become too scanty to draw many conclusions.

Succession law
Telepinu is perhaps most famous for drawing up the Edict of Telepinu which dictated the laws of succession for the Hittite throne. It was designed to stop all the royal murders which had taken place in the previous decades, which had destabilised the empire and reduced the empire to only its heartland.

Let a prince – a son of the first rank only be installed as king! If a prince of the first rank does not exist, (then) let he who is a son of second rank become king. But if there is no prince, no male issue, (then) let them take an antiyant-husband for she who is a first rank daughter, and let him become king.

Great hammerhead

The great hammerhead (Sphyrna mokarran) is the largest species of hammerhead shark, belonging to the family Sphyrnidae, attaining an average length of 4.6 m and reaching a maximum length of 6.2 m. It is found in tropical and warm temperate waters worldwide, inhabiting coastal areas and the continental shelf. The great hammerhead can be distinguished from other hammerheads by the shape of its "hammer" (called the "cephalofoil"), which is wide with an almost straight front margin, and by its tall, sickle-shaped first dorsal fin. A solitary, strong-swimming apex predator, the great hammerhead feeds on a wide variety of prey ranging from crustaceans and cephalopods, to bony fish, to smaller sharks. Observations of this species in the wild suggest that the cephalofoil functions to immobilize stingrays, a favored prey. This species has a viviparous mode of reproduction, bearing litters of up to 50 pups every two years.

Although potentially dangerous, the great hammerhead rarely attacks humans and can sometimes behave inquisitively toward divers. This shark is heavily fished for its large fins, which are valuable on the Chinese market as the main ingredient of shark fin soup. As a result, great hammerhead populations are declining substantially worldwide, and it has been assessed as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as of 2019.

Taxonomy and phylogeny
The great hammerhead was first described as Zygaena mokarran in 1837 by German naturalist Eduard Rüppell. The species name is the common name in Arabic مقرن and means "horned". The name was later changed to the current Sphyrna mokarran. For many years, though, the valid scientific name for the great hammerhead was thought to be Sphyrna tudes, which was coined in 1822 by Achille Valenciennes. In 1950, Enrico Tortonese determined that the specimens illustrated by Valenciennes were in fact smalleye hammerheads, to which the name S. tudes then applied. As the next-most senior synonym, Sphyrna mokarran became the great hammerhead's valid name. The lectotype for this species is a 2.5-m-long (8.2 ft) male from the Red Sea.

Older studies based on morphology have generally placed the great hammerhead as one of the more derived members of its family, reflecting the traditional view that cephalofoil size gradually increased over the course of hammerhead shark evolution, but this view has been refuted by phylogenetic analyses using nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, which found that the great hammerhead and the smooth hammerhead (S. zygaena) form a clade that is basal to all other Sphyrna species. These results also show that the first hammerheads to evolve had large rather than small cephalofoils.

Distribution and habitat
The great hammerhead inhabits tropical waters around the world, between the latitudes of 40°N and 37°S. In the Atlantic Ocean, it is found from North Carolina to Uruguay, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, and from Morocco to Senegal, and the Mediterranean Sea. It is found all along the rim of the Indian Ocean, and in the Pacific Ocean from the Ryukyu Islands to Australia, New Caledonia, and French Polynesia, and from southern Baja California to Peru. It may occur off Gambia, Guinea, Mauritania, Sierra Leone, and Western Sahara, but this has not been confirmed. Great hammerheads may be found from inshore waters less than 1 m deep, to a depth of 80 m offshore. They favor coral reefs, but also inhabit continental shelves, island terraces, lagoons, and deep water near land. They are migratory; populations off Florida and in the South China Sea have been documented moving closer to the poles in the summer.

Description
The streamlined body of the great hammerhead with the expanded cephalofoil is typical of the hammerhead sharks. Adults can be distinguished from the scalloped hammerhead and the smooth hammerhead by the shape of the cephalofoil, which has a nearly straight front margin (as opposed to arched), with prominent medial and lateral indentations. The width of the cephalofoil is 23–27% of the body length. The teeth are triangular and strongly serrated, becoming more oblique toward the corners of the mouth. Seventeen tooth rows are on either side of the upper jaw, with two or three teeth at the symphysis (the midline of the jaw), and 16–17 teeth on either side of the lower jaw and one to three at the symphysis.

The first dorsal fin is distinctive, being very tall and strongly sickle-shaped, and originates over the insertions of the pectoral fins. The second dorsal fin and anal fin are both relatively large, with deep notches in the rear margins. The pelvic fins are sickle-shaped with concave rear margins, in contrast to the straight-margined pelvic fins of the scalloped hammerhead. The skin is covered with closely placed dermal denticles. Each denticle is diamond-shaped, with three to five horizontal ridges leading to marginal teeth in smaller individuals, and five or six in larger ones. The great hammerhead is dark brown to light gray to olive above, fading to white on the underside. The fins are unmarked in adults, while the tip of the second dorsal fin may be dark in juveniles.

The typical minimum great hammerhead measures 3.5 m long and weighs over 230 kg, while the maximum measures  4.6 m long and weighs 449.5 kg. A small percentage of the population, mostly or all females, are much larger. The longest great hammerhead on record was 6.1 m. The heaviest known great hammerhead is a female, 4.4 m long and 580 kg in weight caught off Boca Grande, Florida, in 2006. The weight of the female was due to her being pregnant with 55 neonatal pups. Exceptionally large individuals may possibly reach 900 kg in weight, though this has not been verified.

Biology and ecology
The great hammerhead is a solitary, nomadic predator that tends to be given a wide berth by other reef sharks. If confronted, it may respond with an agonistic display, dropping its pectoral fins and swimming in a stiff or jerky fashion. Juveniles are preyed upon by larger sharks such as bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas), while adults have no major predators except for killer whales, which hunt hammerheads of any age. Yellow jacks (Carangoides bartholomaei) have been seen rubbing themselves against the hammerhead's flanks, possibly to rid themselves of parasites. Schools of pilot fish (Naucrates ductor) sometimes accompany the great hammerhead. The great hammerhead is parasitized by several species of copepods, including Alebion carchariae, A. elegans, Nesippus orientalis, N. crypturus, Eudactylina pollex, Kroyeria gemursa, and Nemesis atlantica.

Feeding
The great hammerhead shark is an active predator with a varied diet, known prey of the great hammerhead include invertebrates such as crabs, lobsters, squid, and octopus; bony fishes such as tarpon, sardines, sea catfishes, toadfish, porgies, grunts, jacks, croakers, groupers, flatfishes, boxfishes, and porcupine fishes; and smaller sharks such as smoothhounds. At Rangiroa Atoll, great hammerheads prey opportunistically on grey reef sharks (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) that have exhausted themselves pursuing mates. The species is known to be cannibalistic. In the Gatun Formation of Panama, fossil teeth belonging to great hammerheads suggest the shark once preyed on juvenile Otodus megalodon, alongside the extinct snaggletooth shark Hemipristis serra, with which it was once contemporary.

Great hammerheads are apex predators among sharks, and are specialists at feeding on other sharks, rays, and skates, especially stingrays. The venomous spines of stingrays are frequently found lodged inside its mouth and do not seem to bother the shark, as one specimen caught off Florida had 96 spines in and around its mouth. Great hammerheads primarily hunt at dawn or dusk, swinging their heads in broad angles over the sea floor so as to pick up the electrical signatures of stingrays buried in the sand, via numerous electroreceptory organs located on the underside of the cephalofoil. The cephalofoil also serves as a hydrofoil that allows the shark to quickly turn around and strike at a ray once detected. Off Florida, large hammerheads are often the first to reach newly baited sharklines, suggesting a particularly keen sense of smell.

Another function of the cephalofoil is suggested by an observation of a great hammerhead attacking a southern stingray (Dasyatis americana) in the Bahamas; the shark first knocked the ray to the sea bottom with a powerful blow from above, and then pinned it with its head while pivoting to take a large bite from each side of the ray's pectoral fin disc. This effectively crippled the stingray, which was then picked up in the jaws and sawed apart with rapid shakes of the head. A great hammerhead has also been seen attacking a spotted eagle ray (Aetobatus narinari) in open water by taking a massive bite out of one of its pectoral fins. The ray thus incapacitated, the shark once again used its head to pin it to the bottom and pivoted to take the ray in its jaws head-first. These observations suggest that the great hammerhead seeks to disable rays with the first bite, a strategy similar to that of the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), and that its cephalofoil is an adaptation for prey handling. Great hammerheads have been observed hunting in coral reef flats as shallow as ~0.7 m.

Rolled swimming and energy conservation
A 2016 study of specimens logged with accelerometers showed that great hammerhead sharks reduce drag and lessen energy expenditure by swimming on their side in a posture termed "rolled swimming". The shark uses its very large dorsal fin to help achieve lift, a habit that had previously been noted in captive specimens, and may spend up to 90% of its time in this swimming orientation. The technique is thought to save about 10% in drag and consequently movement costs.

Life history
As with other hammerhead sharks, great hammerheads are viviparous; once the developing young use up their supply of yolk, the yolk sac is transformed into a structure analogous to a mammalian placenta. Unlike most other sharks, which mate on or near the sea bottom, great hammerheads have been observed mating near the surface. In one account from the Bahamas, a mating pair ascended while swimming around each other, mating when they reached the surface. Females breed once every two years, giving birth from late spring to summer in the Northern Hemisphere and from December to January in Australian waters. The gestation period is 11 months. The litter size ranges from six to 55 pups, with 20–40 being typical. The young measure 50 - 70 cm at birth; males reach maturity at 2.3 - 2.8 m long and 51 kg and the females at 2.5 - 3.0 m and 41 kg. The young differ from the adults in having a rounded frontal margin on the head. The typical lifespan of this species is 20–30 years; the record Boca Grande female was estimated to be 40–50 years old.

Human interactions
With its large size and cutting teeth, the great hammerhead could seriously injure a human, so caution should be exercised around them. This species has a (possibly undeserved) reputation for aggression and being the most dangerous of the hammerhead sharks. Divers underwater have reported that great hammerheads tend to be shy or nonreactive toward humans. Reports have been made of great hammerheads approaching divers closely and even charging them when they first enter the water. As of 2011, the International Shark Attack File lists 34 bites, with 17 of them unprovoked and none fatal, attributable to hammerhead sharks of the genus Sphyrna. Due to the difficulty in identifying the species involved, how many were caused by great hammerheads is uncertain. This shark has been confirmed to be responsible for only one (provoked) bite.

The great hammerhead is regularly caught both commercially and recreationally in the tropics, using longlines, fixed bottom nets, hook-and-line, and trawls. Though the meat is rarely consumed, their fins are becoming increasing valuable due to the Asian demand for shark fin soup. In addition, their skin used for leather, their liver oil for vitamins, and their carcasses for fishmeal. The great hammerhead is also taken unintentionally as bycatch and suffers very high mortality, over 90% for fisheries in the northwest Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico. Entanglement in shark nets around Australian and South African beaches is another source of mortality.

In Queensland, Australia recreational fishers are prohibited from taking any hammerhead species. In Australia's other northern jurisdictions (the Northern Territory and Western Australia) recreational targeting and catching of great hammerheads is allowed.

Conservation status
The great hammerhead is extremely vulnerable to overfishing due to its low overall abundance and long generation time. Assessment of its conservation status is difficult, as few fisheries separate the great hammerhead from other hammerheads in their reported catches. This species is listed as globally critically endangered on the IUCN Red List. It is endangered in the north-western Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, where though it is not a targeted species, populations have dropped 50% since the 1990s due to bycatch. It is also endangered in the southwestern Indian Ocean, where large numbers of longline vessels operate illegally along the coasts for hammerheads and the giant guitarfish (Rhynchobatus djiddensis). The great hammerhead catch rate in Indian Ocean has declined 73% from 1978 to 2003, though whether these represent localized or widespread depletions is uncertain. The great hammerhead is critically endangered along the western coast of Africa, where stocks have collapsed, with an estimated 80% decline in the past 25 years. The West African Sub-Regional Fishing Commission (SRFC) has recognized the great hammerhead as one of the four most threatened species in the region, though fishing continues unmonitored and unregulated. Off northern Australia, this species was assessed as data deficient, but at "high risk". Concern has arisen there over a substantial increase in illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing, reflecting the rising value of this shark's fins.

No conservation measures specifically protecting the great hammerhead have been enacted. It is listed on Annex I, Highly Migratory Species, of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, though no management schemes have yet been implemented under this agreement. The banning of shark finning by countries and supranational entities such as United States, Australia, and the European Union, and international regulatory bodies such as the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, should reduce fishing pressure on the great hammerhead.

According to a January 2021 study in Nature, which studied 31 species of sharks and rays, the number of these species found in open oceans had dropped by 71% in around 50 years. The great hammerhead was included in the study.

Here in My Heart

"Here in My Heart" is a popular song written by Pat Genaro, Lou Levinson, and Bill Borrelli, first published in 1952.

A recording of the song by Italian-American singer Al Martino made history as the first number one hit on the UK Singles Chart, on November 14, 1952. "Here in My Heart" also reached the number one spot in America.

Background
Martino's recording, made on April 17, 1952, was first issued on the small BBS label (based in Martino's native Philadelphia) in America, and on Capitol in the UK. It was produced by Voyle Gilmore, with orchestra under the direction of Monty Kelly.

"Here in My Heart" remained in the top position for nine weeks in the United Kingdom, setting a record for the longest consecutive run at number one, a record which, over 50 years on, has only been beaten by eight other tracks - Bryan Adams's "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" (16 weeks), the Wet Wet Wet version of The Troggs' "Love Is All Around" (15 weeks), Drake's "One Dance" (15 weeks), David Whitfield's "Cara Mia" (10 weeks), Rihanna's "Umbrella" (10 weeks), Whitney Houston's version of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" (10 weeks), Slim Whitman's "Rose Marie" (11 weeks) and Tones and I's "Dance Monkey" (11 weeks). Frankie Laine's "I Believe" spent a total of 18 weeks at number one, but not consecutively, instead totalling those weeks across several runs at the top.

The single was Martino's only UK number one hit. His subsequent releases failed to reach the top of the chart, and his final UK chart appearance was in 1973, when a reissue of "Spanish Eyes" reached the top five.

Martino rerecorded the song in an unsuccessful rockaballad version for MGM's Cub label, released in 1958. In 1961, he again re-recorded the song, with it reaching number 86 on the Billboard Top 100 chart (and the top 20 on the Easy Listening survey).

Other contemporary recordings
Prior to Martino's recording reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart, the song had already become a number one hit on the UK's sheet music sales chart. It spent eight weeks at the top of this chart, beginning on October 25, 1952. The song had first charted on September 6, with Martino's recording, issued in July, being the first one available in the UK. Subsequent cover versions available in the UK were mostly recorded by British artists: Issy Bonn (with Eddie Calvert on trumpet), Larry Day, Dennis Lotis, David Hughes, Victor Silvester and his Ballroom Orchestra, Lee Lawrence, Eve Boswell and Harry Secombe. The only other American recording available in the UK was by Dick Haymes and the Andrews Sisters.

Larry Day's version (with orchestra conducted by Frank Cordell) was made in London on June 24, 1952. It was released by EMI on the His Master's Voice label (catalog number B 10323). Semprini (piano with rhythm accompaniment) recorded it as the first song of the medley "Dancing to the Piano (No. 18) - Part 1" along with "Half as Much" and "Isle of Innisfree" in London on November 11, 1952. It was released by EMI on the His Master's Voice label (catalog number B 10394).

Other contemporary versions were also recorded by Vic Damone and Tony Bennett. A rhythm and blues version was also recorded that year, by Wini Brown and her Boy Friends. Mario Lanza, at the height of his popularity in the early 1950s, had also planned to record this song, but changed his mind when asked not to by Martino, so his recording would not be overlooked.

Later use
In 1963, actor Richard Harris performed "Here in My Heart" in the film This Sporting Life, although he would not release his first album, A Tramp Shining, until four years later, following the success of the 1967 film Camelot.

Glenarm, Ontario

Glenarm is a community in the City of Kawartha Lakes (Ontario, Canada) of about 80 people. Very few people live in the actual hamlet itself, but the community spreads about 2 km in each direction.

At one time the hamlet included a general store, restaurant, church, two taverns, a blacksmith shop, dance hall and a jail, although the general store has since closed. The church, Knox Presbyterian, used to have many people attend, and now has about 60 members in its congregation. A cemetery with graves reaching back to the 1870s sits just south of the church.

History
Originally called Hardscrabble, the village was settled by Scottish immigrants, whose descendants still live there on many original ancestral farms. Notably, the Amish community has recently moved into the area, which now houses two Amish bakeries, and fresh food stands.

In the heyday of Glenarm, large church picnics that were attended by up to 2000 people. Although it was discontinued in the 1950s. The Annual Glenarm Picnic was recently revived, and is held the 3rd Saturday of August, and usually brings 200-300 people to the event, with family members of original descendants traveling to engage in the field games, horseshoes and corn roast.

Recent
On May 21, 2013, a tornado touched down in the area and removed the roof from a home. A barn was destroyed and trees were downed as well. It was confirmed as an EF2 tornado by Environment Canada (only the second tornado in Canada to be rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale.

John 15

John 15 is the fifteenth chapter in the Gospel of John in the New Testament section of the Christian Bible. It is part of what New Testament scholars have called the 'farewell discourse' of Jesus. It has historically been a source of Christian teaching and Christological debate and reflection, and its images (particularly of Jesus as the vine) have been influential in Christian art and iconography. The chapter implies one of the highest and most developed Christologies to be found in the New Testament. The original text was written in Koine Greek. The book containing this chapter is anonymous, but early Christian tradition uniformly affirmed that John composed this Gospel.

Text
The original text was written in Koine Greek. This chapter is divided into 27 verses.

Textual witnesses
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter are:
 * Codex Vaticanus (325-350; complete)
 * Codex Sinaiticus (330-360; complete)
 * Codex Bezae (~400; complete)
 * Codex Alexandrinus (400-440; complete)

Old Testament references

 * : Psalm b; Psalm

Places
The events and discourses recorded in this chapter and in the whole of chapters 13 to 17 took place in Jerusalem. The precise location is not specified, but states that afterwards, "Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley". Because the previous chapter ends with the words "Come now, let us go", Plummer, in the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges, suggests that Jesus and his disciples have "rise[n] from table and prepare[d] to depart, but that the contents of the next three chapters (15-17) are spoken before they leave the room".

Analysis
The chapter presents Jesus speaking in the first person. Although ostensibly addressing his disciples, most scholars conclude the chapter was written with events concerning the later church in mind. Jesus is presented as explaining the relationship between himself and his followers, seeking to model this relationship on his own relationship with his Father. Swedish-based commentator René Kieffer separates this "second" part of Jesus' farewell discourse from the first part (chapter 13 from verse 31 onwards, and chapter 14), suggesting that this part is "timeless", perhaps a later insertion, rather than being concerned with Jesus' impending departure from his disciples.

The chapter introduces the extended metaphor of Christ as the true vine. The Father is the vinedresser, vinegrower or husbandman. His disciples are said to be branches (, ta klémata, specifically meaning vine branches) which must 'abide' in him if they are to 'bear fruit'. The disciples are warned that barren branches are pruned by the vinedresser: see : Every branch that does bear fruit is pruned so that it will bear more fruit - not barren branches.

The chapter proceeds by comparing the close relationship of Jesus and his disciples ('abiding', ) to that of himself and his Father. The disciples are reminded of the love of the Father and the Son, and the love of the Son for the disciples, and then exhorted to 'love one another' in the same manner. speaks of the 'greater love' as being the willingness to 'lay down' one's life for friends. This text, which primarily refers to Jesus’ impending death, has since been widely used to affirm the sacrifice of martyrs and soldiers in war, and is thus often seen on war memorials and graves.

Jesus then speaks of being hated by the world, but he sees this hatred as fulfillment of the words in either Psalm 69, "They hated Me without a cause", or Psalm 35, "neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause".

The chapter concludes by warning disciples to expect persecution and promises the gift of the parakletos (Paraclete or Holy Spirit God).

Verse 4

 * Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

The words μένῃ (menē) or μείνατε (meinate) appear frequently in this chapter. Some early texts have μένητε (menēte): considering "the divided state" of the manuscript evidence, there in no certainty about whether μείνατε or μένητε is original. Typical translations are "abide", "remain", or "continue". Heinrich Meyer refers to "faithful persistence".

Verse 9

 * As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.

Pope Francis suggests that here, "Jesus tells us something new about love: you are not only to love, but to abide in my love. In fact, the Christian vocation is to abide in God’s love".

Verse 13

 * Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.

The Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne, Australia, (pictured) is typical of thousands of war memorials around the world which use the words of this verse, "no greater love" in their tribute to those who have fallen in war. There is no intention here to emphasise "friends" as if suffering for friends is a greater good than suffering for strangers or enemies.

Verse 16

 * "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you".

The word "appointed" is translated as "ordained" in the King James Version and some other translations. Referring to the allegory of trees which have been planted, the reformation theologian Sebastian Castellio suggests destinavi, "I have marked out, or assigned you your place", as an alternative reading.

Verse 17

 * "I demand that you love each other"

Most English translations state this verse as Jesus' "commandment" to his disciples. Jesus speaks twice of this commandment in this chapter, in verses 12 and 17.

Verses 18-25
These verses speak of the world's hatred for the disciples. In the next chapter, Jesus explains why he has told the disciples these things.

Verse 26

 * “But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me".

The reference to the Spirit in verse 26, speaks of it as sent by the Son from the Father. This verse has been particularly influential in debates concerning the nature of the Trinity and in the filioque disputes between Eastern and Western Christianity.

Ship of Fools (Porter novel)

Ship of Fools is a 1962 novel by Katherine Anne Porter, telling the tale of a group of disparate characters sailing from Mexico to Europe aboard a German passenger ship. The large cast of characters includes Germans, Mexicans, Americans, Spaniards, a group of Cuban medical students, a Swiss family, and a Swede. In steerage is a large group of Spanish workers being returned to Spain from Cuba. It is an allegory tracing the rise of Nazism and looks metaphorically at the progress of the world on its "voyage to eternity".

Background
Porter had been widely praised for her short stories, mostly written between 1922 and 1940. She began work on the novel in 1940, intending it initially to be a novella (or "short novel", as Porter would put it, as she famously wrote about how she detested the word "novella" ). The story was based on a journal she kept in 1931 during a sea voyage from Veracruz, Mexico, on her way to study in Bremerhaven, Germany, on a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the characters in the novel were based on real people she met during the trip. The title was taken from Das Narrenschiff ("The Fool-Ship"), a 15th-century German poem by Sebastian Brant.

For many years, the initial publisher Harcourt Brace would announce the forthcoming novel, but she remained unable to complete it for 22 years. As a result, it became eagerly expected by the literary world. In response to critics who complained about the long wait, Porter said, "Look here, this is my life and my work and you keep out of it. When I have a book I will be glad to have it published."

Ship of Fools first appeared in the Autumn 1959 edition of Texas Quarterly journal (54 pgs).

Reception
Ship of Fools outsold every other American novel published in 1962. It was a Book of the Month Club selection and immediately, the film rights were sold for $500,000 ($0 adjusted for inflation).

Critical reception was mixed. While Mark Schorer of The New York Times and Glenway Wescott in The Atlantic Monthly were effusive in their praise, Stanley Kauffmann of The New Republic and Granville Hicks in the Saturday Review were disappointed. Porter herself was never satisfied with the novel, calling it "unwieldy" and "enormous".

The critic Elizabeth Hardwick had this to say about Ship of Fools: "All is too static and the implied parable is never quite achieved. There is something a little musty, like old yellowing notes. The flawless execution of the single scenes impresses and yet the novel remains too snug and shipshape for the waters of history."

Theme
The theme of the novel is the passengers' unavailing withdrawal from a life of disappointment, seeking a kind of utopia, and, "without knowing what to do next", setting out for a long voyage to pre–World War II Europe, a world of prejudice, racism and evil. Mrs. Treadwell, a nostalgic American divorcee, hopes to find happiness in Paris, where she once spent her youth. Elsa Lutz, the plain daughter of a Swiss hotelkeeper, thinks heaven might be in the Isle of Wight. Jenny, an artist, says the most dangerous and happiest moment in her life was when she was swimming alone in the Gulf of Mexico, confronted with a school of dolphins. And at the end of the novel, one of the ship's musicians, a gangly starving boy, feels overjoyed to finally be off the ship and back in his home country, as if Germany were a "human being, a good and dear trusted friend who had come a long way to welcome him". Thus Porter manages to convey that salvation is reality, and evil can be overcome.

Film adaptation
The 1965 film was adapted by Abby Mann from the novel and was directed by Stanley Kramer. It won Academy Awards for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Black-and-White (Robert Clatworthy, Joseph Kish) and Best Cinematography, Black-and-White. Porter's first reaction to the film adaptation was that Mann had omitted too much from the book, distorting its message. It was also noteworthy for being the last film to feature the actress Vivien Leigh.

Hounslow Loop line

The Hounslow Loop line is a railway line in southwest London which was opened by the London and South Western Railway in 1850. It leaves the Waterloo–Reading line at Barnes Junction and after some seven and a half miles rejoins it at a triangular junction between Whitton and Feltham. Barnes Railway Bridge carries the line over the River Thames. Passenger services, all operated by South Western Railway, either loop back to Waterloo by the junctions or continue southwest via Feltham. The line is electrified at 750 V DC (third rail). It provides access to the North London Line for freight services both passing through Clapham Junction to the north east and connecting to the rail network to the south west.

Passenger services and rolling stock
Most service to stations on the Hounslow Loop line are provided by trains operating between London Waterloo and Weybridge via Staines.

As of December 2023, the typical weekday and Saturday service is 2 trains per hour in each direction to and from Waterloo. Trains use the Waterloo to Reading Line between Waterloo and Barnes, take the loop between Barnes Bridge and Hounslow stations, and operate to and from Weybridge via Staines.

On Sunday, service is reduced to hourly and diverted to Woking.

At peak hours, additional trains running do not serve Staines and Weybridge, but rather travel in a loop to and from Waterloo via Hounslow and Richmond.

Services are generally operated by Class 450 units operating in a 4 or 8 car configuration. Class 455 and Class 458 units also work the line. All units on the line are to be replaced by Class 701 Aventra units.

Ridership
The line has seen a steep increase in ridership levels in recent years, corresponding with the doubling of train frequencies from 2 trains per hour in each direction to 4 (except on Sundays). The line's seven stations had combined passenger numbers of 5.565 million in 2007–08 (based on station exits), a 162% increase on the 2004–05 figure of 2.122 million.

Recent changes
Most stations had platforms lengthened to allow the operation of 10 coach trains from May 2013. Where this was not possible, selective door opening is used.

Platform 20 at Waterloo (within the former Waterloo International terminal) came into use in May 2014 to provide additional capacity.

Future developments
A proposal published in 2017 by the London Assembly and Transport for London envisages extending the London Overground network to run trains on the section of the Hounslow Loop Line between Brentford and Hounslow. The scheme, known as the West London Orbital, would involve the re-opening of the Dudding Hill Line to passenger services and running trains from West Hampstead Thameslink and Hendon via the planned Old Oak Common Lane station. A new station may be constructed at Lionel Road, close to Kew Bridge. The plans are currently at public consultation stage with TfL.

Gröbner basis and Hironaka
Hi. Concerning your recent edit of Gröbner basis, I am not sure that Hironaka's theory of "standard bases" is exactly the same. See for example [http://lips.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/pub/showDoc.Fulltext/dokument.pdf?lang=de&doc=1995-18&format=pdf&compression=&rank=0 Joachim Apel, Division of entire functions by polynomial ideals, in ''Proc. AAECC 11,'' LNCS 948 (1995), pp. 82-95]. So if you agree but think the addition is nevertheless important, I propose that you change the text into something like: "In 1964, at almost the same time and independently, Heisuke Hironaka had developed a closely related theory, which he called standard bases." I'm not sure how close this is to your areas of expertise, but I you have interest, time and patience, perhaps you could also add some of this to the Hironaka article, putting it in context, and if possible cite the references as provided by Apel's paper. Cheerio. Lambiam Talk 13:46, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

 * As I understand it now, the standard bases are defined for ideals in the ring of Puisseux series. Thus they contain Gröbner bases as a special case. The real contribution of Buchberger to the fundamentals is the proof that his algorithm stops in finite time. Perhaps it should be mentioned somewhere that the idea comes from the non-constructive proof by Hilbert of the Basissatz (Kronecker had a constructive proof, but only formulated for bivariate polynomials) -- No, I'm not an expert in the whole of the topic of Gröbner bases. They are interesting to me in the aspect of their inefficiency. I got most of my knowledge from Gethgen/vonzur Gathen: Modern Algebra, where they mention H. Hironaka  in the second sentence of the introduction. And from M. Guisty: Bases standard, élimination et complexité, notes of a lecture given at X, where some propositions are attributed to Hironaka.--LutzL 07:29, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm not an expert either and I don't have access to a library, so I wouldn't be comfortable making any changes of substance. I'll copy this exchange to the talk page of the article in the hope that a next reader can do something with it. --Lambiam Talk 14:43, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Images of Daubechy spectrum
Would you be so kind to provide me with source code or short description of what you've done used to obtain these:

I need to get fourier transforms of some wavelet functions and I'm kind of stuck with it. I'm totally new to numerical computation of FT and I don't know what I do wrong. I'm not interested in generation of wavelet functions, just the part which does FT.

If I have sampled mother wavelet into vector v of length N, what is right way to compute power spectrum? I'm doing FFT on v and then take positive frequency terms of the resulting vector. Then I i take abs^2 of these positive frequency terms, but the resulting image is quite different:(

I've found that FFT estimates spectrum with errors and the result drastically varies when second FFT parameter (N) changes. I can imagine that this FFT estimation does not converge to spectrum when sampling rate goes to infty.

But your images are just perfect. Have you used some special methods, windows(Hamming e t.c.) ?

 * Just as you assumed: Compute a sufficiently long vector of values and apply FFT. One should first stabilize the values at integer points via the cascade algorithm (or directly via the pointwise refinement equations) before computing values for smaller step sizes. The values drawn are the absolute values of the complex numbers, so the curves intersect at height 0.71..=sqrt(2). The curves were drawn with gnuplot using thick lines and converted with ImageMagick using antialiasing.--LutzL 09:54, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Subsampling
LutzL, long time, no see. At Talk:Sampling (signal_processing) we're talking about changing some math at Sampling (signal_processing) that you worked on back in 2005, originally at Nyquist–Shannon_sampling_theorem. I'd like to make it simpler, and closer to the sources. You indicated that you thought it was "hopefully simplified" this way, so I'd like to hear why. Comments?

Fundamental theorem of algebra
Yesterday, I deleted this sentence from the article about the fundamental theorem of algebra:
 * But every complex polynomial of degree n is the characteristic polynomial of some complex n × n matrix, for instance, its companion matrix.

You decided to undo my revision, saying “''what is wrong about this statement? It is central to this proof.''” Concerning this, I have two observations:
 * 1) I claim that the sentence that I deleted is false. Indeed, I wrote just that when I edited the article (“Elimination of a false sentence”). But if you claim that it is true, then please provide a square matrix whose characteristic polynomial is 2z.
 * 2) My deletion did not undermine the proof, because it still contained the sentence “So to establish that every complex polynomial of degree n > 0 has a zero, it suffices to show that every complex square matrix of size n > 0 has a (complex) eigenvalue” and the footnote that comes after it, which links to a proof of the fact that, given a field F, if, for every natural number n, every endomorphism of Fn has some eigenvalue, then F is algebraically closed. JCSantos (talk) 09:07, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, so it should say "normed polynomial". Since this theorem is concerned with fields, the zeros do not depend if a polynomial or some multiple of it is concerned.--LutzL (talk) 10:31, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * On the other hand, the introduction to the proof section already restricts the polynomials to have "dominant coefficient 1". Added the division by the leading coefficient.--LutzL (talk) 10:44, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The result of all this is that, at present, the text contains a complete proof of the fact that, in order to prove that every monic polynomial has a root it is enough to prove that every endomorphism of Cn has some eigenvalue and a footnote telling the reader where to find such a proof. In my opinion, one of them should be eliminated. The reason why I chose the first one is because (1) the proof exists already on Wikipedia and (2) the proof doesn't seem to me to be important for someone who is trying to learn proofs of the fundamental theorem of algebra. What is your opinion? JCSantos (talk) 22:13, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * What is so evil about redundancy? In my opinion, neither the short jump from polynomial to matrix nor the referenced section are satisfying. The referenced section is inside the article on algebraically closed fields, whereas the fundamental theorem sets out to show that the complex field is closed. It is not trivial to see that this is not a circle jerk. To come back to the article, the proof is almost too long and has no cited historic foundation unlike many of the other proofs. Shouldn't it go to wikibooks? It is, in some way, just another version of the winding number proof. But do as you want. I just found it curious that the companion matrix was not mentioned and any obvious matrix construction removed, as if this were too technical to be exposed.--LutzL (talk) 14:36, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

D4 analysis and scaling function
Hi, I think the plot of the D4 wavelet function in the article Daubechies wavelet has the wrong sign, at least if the wavelet coefficients given in the same article {-0.1830127, -0.3169873, 1.1830127, -0.6830127} are used. I plotted the D4 wavelet function in matlab with the code here und got the graphic here here. Conquerist (talk) 19:32, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

 * It may be that you are right. I'll have to check the code sometimes to see whether a sign reversal occurs. The images where done with gnuplot from a data series produced with a cascade algorithm that stay stationary on already computed points, so it does not need that many iterations to produce a faithful approximation.--LutzL (talk) 18:33, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Telescoping Series Lemma
LutzL,

The elementary lemma on Telescoping series was deleted by you for the following reason:

"It is not wrong, and also not totally out of place (but not in the lede), but the topic is about series where the telescoping form is obvious from the summands. I.e., where your g(k) have an obvious short simple form.)"

The title of the Wiki article is simply "Telescoping series". My brief post gives an elementary relation between telescoping series and general series. The Wiki article seems like a reasonable place to include this simple relation. I have not seen it mentioned elsewhere on the Internet. - gkvp — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gkvp (talk • contribs) 23:35, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Well, for starters, your own formulation "I have not seen it mentioned elsewhere on the Internet" should be a red OR flag. I'm not totally against this remark, but please properly formulated, properly formatted, in a notation that is not in clash with the rest of the article. And not in the introduction of the article. Telescoping sums and series are a trick for computing the value of the series in certain circumstances. Of course you have that each addens is the difference of two partial sums $$a_{n+1}=S_{n+1}-S_n$$, giving the appearance of a telescoping series, and one can shift the partial sums by some constant, $$a_{n+1}=(S_{n+1}+c)-(S_n+c)$$. But this is, in general, not a simplification of a computational problem, but its restatement in more complicated terms.--LutzL (talk) 18:28, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Jakob Ceporin

Jakob Ceporin or Ceporinus (Jakob Wiesendanger, 1499–1525) was a Swiss humanist. In the town of Dinhard, Ceporin was the son of a wealthy farmer. He studied at the school of Latin at Winterthur before attending the Universities of Cologne and Vienna.

He acquired knowledge of Hebrew after studying with the German humanist Johannes Reuchlin in Ingolstadt, knowledge of which would prove useful to him when he later became an inhabitant of Zürich, a stronghold of the Protestant Reformation in Switzerland. He worked in Basel as a proof-reader in the service of a printing house. Around the second half of 1523, Ceporin married Elsbeth Scherer, a former Dominican nun of the monastery of Töss. This marriage produced a daughter—Veronika—who later became the wife of the scholar Konrad Klauser. On 14 April 1525, Ceporin was appointed as the first Reader of Greek and Hebrew at Zwingli's school of theology in Zürich. Though a young man when he was appointed, his skill in languages had impressed his contemporaries; Zwingli was especially impressed by his wide knowledge. Ceporin's short book on Greek grammar (published 1522) was reprinted in many editions and was still in use in the eighteenth century in Swiss schools. Ceporin died unexpectedly at the early age of 26, on 20 December in Zürich.

After the fashion of the time, Wiesendanger chose the name Ceporin as the Greek equivalent of his Swiss surname (from κηπουρός "gardener").
