Jin Kazama image
There is no need to have another image for Jin Kazama for the article. Katsuhiro Harada has only said that Jin and Heihachi Mishima are his favorite characters, according to this. He even says that Jin loses the role of protagonism in 6 by becoming a villain. Furthermore, Jin was never present in 1, 2 and is barely made it to some cutscens from 7 as those games were more focused on Kazuya and Heihachi. An image about gameplay of the series would explain more to the readers. You might add Jin or simply that which seems more relevant.Tintor2 (talk) 20:52, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Tintor2 (talk) 22:43, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * The reason I find it relevant is because there are over 40 existing characters and Jin is the most recognized and iconic, this is reflected on the official Tekken website, and the fact that the game that Jin debuted in, Tekken 3, was the best selling entry of the series and when it peaked. It does not necessarily matter that he was not in the original game. I don't think Harada ever said Jin is his favorite either but that does not matter. From his debut up to Tekken 6, his ending was the canonical one as well, which also reinforces this point. Osh33m (talk) 02:46, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Actually, I take back some of what I said. You posted a source, so it is true Harada said Jin and Heihachi are his favorite characters. You are right about that, but I think the rest of the evidence point to having his picture in the Tekken article to be sensible as well. Osh33m (talk) 02:50, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Then he is still isn't relevant to have an image dedicated to him but more towards Tekken 3 which isn't even mentioned in his image. Even Heihachi appears in 3 yet he is not featured. I found another image which more notable because of Harada's interviews and the story. This. Harada keeps mentioning that the franchise's main story involves the Mishima bloodline conflict and not only Jin only. It's like putting only Solid Snake in the Metal Gear article when the story revolves around the successors of Big Boss. Jin was even absent from 7 as Harada preferred to use that installment to finish the story of Kazuya and Heihachi. As a result, I found Jin's image even more outdated.Tintor2 (talk) 15:39, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Huh? Jin's debut in Tekken 3 is mentioned in his image's caption, so I don't know what you're talking about there. The franchise's main story involving the Mishima bloodline includes Jin since he is the heir to the bloodline. I'm not saying he's the only main character in the whole story, but that he is the center of it all. This was also the case in Tekken 4, where the series looked as if the focus was mostly on Kazuya and Heihachi, yet Jin's ending was the one chosen to proceed in Tekken 5. Jin also wasn't absent from Tekken 7, he was in the game and he's been in every game since Tekken 3. Osh33m (talk) 20:33, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

 * You said it was important because Tekken 3 was the bestselling. Having bigger approach at the main cast give further coverage to the reader as they will know who is the main cast rather than just one guy who debuted in the third game.Tintor2 (talk) 22:22, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi all, answering your request for a third opinion. As is, the file is set to be deleted on the 15th as it doesn't comply with Wikipedia's standards for free use. However, this article is very light on illustrations. My opinion is that the image being used should not be used, but there is no reason not to include images of characters, if they are available for free use. While it wouldn't be productive to include a photo for every character, having photos of some characters will allow readers to see more of the art style used for the game. †Basilosauridae  ❯❯❯Talk  21:01, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Almost every Tekken game lacks screenshots
Just use .png if you fix it. --SNAAAAKE!! (talk) 06:58, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Well, choosing a screenshot might be complicated as it would need a good caption that makes it important. Choosing an iconic screenshot for the series article might be complicated considering it went through so many generations. You can be bold and add one. If a game introduces a new mechanic, maybe it's worth adding to the articles. Maybe this might count as an example.Tintor2 (talk) 15:48, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Pokken
Since Pokken is being listed as part of the Tekken series, wouldn't this mean that the Switch should be listed under the platforms section?

Sales
"Tekken 3 is the third best-selling fighting game of all time, just behind Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.[114]"

Not sure if thi is still true. Didn't MK10 and MK11 both sell 10 million?
 * There would have to be sources for that. --Osh33m (talk) 19:14, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Character List
Maybe adding a character list can help people see what characters are exactly tied to this line of games and maybe which game they made their debut in?

Games history section
The first three games have always until recently been listed as the "Original PlayStation Trilogy". The games were first released in arcades, but from Tekken 1 to Tekken Tag 2, all of the arcade machines used PlayStation hardware. To remove 'PlayStation' from the moniker simply because "they are still arcades" is not sensible simply because arcade machines have historically all used different hardware all from different video game manufacturers, even from the same developers and thus is too broad. On top of this, the Games history section of this article also discusses the plot of the games, which are only accessible through the PlayStation or other console versions of the games, not through the arcade versions. And lastly, during Tekken's inception, the games were recognized collectively as a staple PlayStation franchise, and there are more than a dozen sources documenting this in the Legacy section of the article.

Furthermore, the series has been multi-platform for two generations and will continue to be so for this current generation, so to have the Present timeline still be under the "Expansion to multiplatform" moniker is outdated. However, the migration to Unreal Engine was a significant deviation in development for the franchise since Namco always used their own in-house engines in the past. It started with Unreal Engine 4 last generation, and they are continuing to apply this to current development with Unreal Engine 5 which Tekken 8 is running on. And the Unreal Engine as a whole isn't restricted to a single sentence in the Games history section; it is mentioned three times. Please do not revert the page again without a consensus on the Talk page. Osh33m (talk) 00:53, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

 * There is no reason or need to mention the arcade's hardware in the section headings. And even if there was, "original Playstation trilogy" gives the impression that the Playstation versions were the original releases, which is incorrect. As for the Unreal Engine, it's simply not covered enough to warrant titling the section heading after it per WP:UNDUE's prominence of placement precept. Though I agree with you on the multi-platform title, so I will alter it to something more contemporary. The layout has been stable for months now, so the onus is on you to gain consensus before changing it; see WP:CON. QuestFour (talk) 15:37, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Agree with QuestFour here; "original PlayStation trilogy" is somewhat misleading, and more importantly, identifying the associated hardware in the subsection headings is simply unnecessary. "Original trilogy" already unambiguously identifies what the sub-section is about. Martin IIIa (talk) 21:14, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * This will 185.80.141.0 (talk) 17:37, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Talk 185.80.141.0 (talk) 17:38, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I asked you not to revert the page without a consensus here first. The issue of mentioning PlayStation in the first section is only one part of what I mentioned. Unreal Engine is mentioned three times between the sections of Tekken 7 and 8. So how many times must it be mentioned for it to be significant to you? --Osh33m (talk) 23:35, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
 * As per the polices and reasoning given above, "I was first" is not how consensus is made, and it's not about Unreal Engine being mentioned three or four times; "prominence" is the key word here, as it's not a prominent theme in the scope of the section, and the altered and current section title thoroughly covers the aspects of the section and is all sufficient. QuestFour (talk) 12:33, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It isn't about who is first, it is about reaching a consensus before reverting edits. There aren't enough editors in this section to form a consensus. And now, we've gone from "number of times mentioned" to "prominence" regarding Unreal Engine. So in your opinion, what would it take for Unreal Engine to be considered "prominent" to you in the Tekken 7 and 8 sections? --Osh33m (talk) 01:20, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * There are three editors, excluding the IP, involved in this discussion, which is the minimum of parties needed and thus is enough to gain consensus. And we also don't go by opinions, WP:UNDUE's prominence criteria should be self-explanatory, as prominent themes in a section are clearly distinguishable from those that aren't, and as stated above, the Unreal Engine bit falls into the latter category. QuestFour (talk) 13:41, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It seems to me that it is your opinion that the Unreal Engine isn't a prominent theme in the Tekken 7 and 8 sections. Also, where is it told that three is the minimum number of parties needed to gain a consensus? --Osh33m (talk) 01:18, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Again, see the above; and refer to WP:CONACHIEVE. QuestFour (talk) 09:46, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Spidron

Improper Page Move
I went and reverted a page move for the following two reasons
 * 1) The page move was never discussed on the talk page nor a reason given as to why the page should be moved
 * 2) Half of this article is about the geometric figure spidron while the other half is about the sci-fi character. They both tie together as to the origins of the name spidron, what it really means, and how it was later used as the name for the sci-fi alien.

I also feel splitting the article ionto two, one for the geometric data and the other for the sci-fi character, would be a bad idea. The article is too too short to make it even shorted by splitting it. -Husnock 21:50, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Looks a lot better now even if we did have to split it :-( Oh well. -Husnock 22:49, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Triangle strip
The image implies both a symmetry and an infinite number of triangles which the text seems not to, and that seems slightly confusing. In computer graphics, and specifically OpenGL, these are called simply, triangle strips. linas 00:03, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Based on the external link I just added, I believe the "infiniteness" is a necessary feature. It looks like there are more constraints to "spidronness" than simply being a triangle strip. Bryan 06:29, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

 * It must be a 2D spiral triangle stripe. A 3D spiral triangle stripe would be a deformed spidron. Hyacinth (talk) 06:43, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara

The Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara (, Autonomous University of Guadalajara), commonly abbreviated to UAG or Autónoma, is a coeducational, independent, private university based in the Mexican city of Guadalajara. Established in 1935, it was the first private university and medical school in Mexico. The creation of the university was a conservative response to a more-left wing direction being taken in Mexico in public higher education at the time. It was first conceived with the name Universidad del Occidente (University of the West), but would later be styled to Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara (UAG).

Established University in the Community (UNICO) was the first community college in Mexico. It also operates an elementary school, two middle schools, and three high schools and postgraduate studies. The university has become one of the most important educational institutions in Latin America, attracting students from 25 different countries.

Background
After the triumph of the Mexican Revolution (1910–1920) the governments that followed focused on making systemic changes to promote the goals of the revolution. On July 20, 1934, general Plutarco Elias Calles, a politician, revolutionary leader and former president, pronounced the speech known as "Grito de Guadalajara":

"'Eternal enemies stalk her and try to make her triumphs nugatory. It is necessary that we enter the new period of the Revolution, which I call the psychological revolutionary period; we must seize the consciences of childhood, the consciences of youth because they are and must belong to the Revolution. It is absolutely necessary to get the enemy out of that trench where the clergy are, where the conservatives are; I mean school. It would be a very serious blunder, it would be criminal for the men of the Revolution, if we did not wrest the youth from the clutches of the clergy and from the clutches of the conservatives; and unfortunately the school in many states of the republic and in the capital itself is run by clerical and reactionary elements.'"

Articles 3 and 24 of the Constitution of Mexico enshrined respectively secular education and freedom of belief. They seriously restricted the influence of the Roman Catholic Church in Mexican education. In 1934, article 3 was amended to mandate a "socialist education" in public school.

In 1933, Marxist and traditionalist factions in the National University were in conflict to determine the ideology of the university. On the conservative side, Antonio Caso, former university rector, argued under the banner of "academic freedom" that this freedom was essential to academic life and to the advancement of science and national leadership as stipulated in the Constitution of 1917. While Vicente Lombardo Toledano argued for a university of Marxist orientation.

The conflict culminated with the first Congress of Mexican Universities voting in 1933 for instituting a socialist orientation in the National University. The proponents of that model proceeded with efforts to implement it in other public universities throughout the nation, but were met with strikes in the University of Guadalajara. That led to multiple arrests and deaths and the closure of the school. The public university was reopened in 1935. The strikes ended when the governor of Jalisco, Everardo Topete, gave permission for the creation of the first private university in Mexico: Universidad Autonoma de Occidentes (University of the West), later renamed Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara.

Nuñez building 28, was the first seat of the university. The founders started dividing the foundational tasks such as renting houses for schools and colleges, set curricula, organizing the team of teachers and initiate enrollment, while incorporating studies of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

First classes
The first dean of the Autonomous University of the West was the lawyer Agustin Navarro Flores, under whose leadership the first faculties were organized. On May 5, 1935, named Director of the School of Jurisprudence to Mr. Alberto G. Arce.; On May 15 were designated as Director and Secretary of the School of Medicine medical doctors Adolfo Esteban Saucedo and Cave Brambila; Dr. Agustin Hernandez was the first Director of Dentistry; the engineer Luis Ugarte was of Engineering and Professor Maria Villanueva assumed the leadership of the High School.

On April 21, 1956, the second dean of the UAG Dr. Fernando Banda, with the Lic. Manuel Calvillo, Director of Schools Incorporated, sent on behalf of Dr. Nabor Carrillo Flores, at that time Rector of the UNAM, the foundation stone of the University City, First Section, where there is now the Institute of Biological Sciences. From 1965 to 1973 the objectives of the first stage of the Master Plan were fully met. The Autonomous University City, whose construction had begun in 1968, was inaugurated on April 30, 1970, for the third dean Dr. Luis Garibay Gutierrez. In 1970 the Central Library building was completed, where technical processes are concentrated and simultaneously the School of Library. In 1972 the works of the Women's School educational complex were completed.

Completion of autonomy
In 1991, the Mexican federal government issued the 158th Agreement which granted the university full academic independence and the right to award degrees in all levels of education. This agreement was made effective in July 26 of that year when it was published in the Official Gazette. The university sought and obtained support from other educational institutions in Mexico and in the international context, especially in Latin America and the United States. In the seventies and eighties, UAG expanded its network of cooperative agreements around the world, also playing a leading role in the founding and development of groups and international organizations such as the Latin American University Group for the Study and Improvement of Education (GULERPE) associations; Ajijic Center for the Improvement of Higher Education in America (CAMESA); the Instituto Ajijic on International Education (IASEI) and the council. Inter University for Economic and Social Development (CUIDES). In 1987 the International Association of University Presidents (IAUP), elected as its President Dean of the Autonomous University of Guadalajara. UAG plays a leading role in the IAUP and in several international educational organizations.

Innovation
The school runs a program called "Strengthening Teachers", whose purpose is the academic aspects of the institution. This program includes the participation of professors and experts from other countries who, through short visits, participate in training programs at UAG. Teachers from UAG also provide the opportunity to participate in such programs, with sister universities in other countries.

Division of Continuing Education
The Division of Continuing Education of the Autonomous University of Guadalajara is a specialized developmental training program. Founded in 1972 is the Training Center with diversity and a number of courses. It is divided into four institutes: INDHEX, INDTECNO, IDEA, ICASA. It has five centers for the development of the institutions: EMPRENDE, CEPEP, EDUMALL, educational mission, on the job training.

Medical School

It is the oldest private medical school in Mexico. The first class was taught on June 5, 1935, the same year of the school's birthdate, its first residency quarters were located on Tolsa Avenue (current Enrique Diaz de Leon Avenue) in Guadalajara, in an area donated by Ramón Garibay which later became the university's hospital. Later the hospital was named Hospital Ramón Garibay in honor of its patron.

In 1963, the basic science courses of the Medical School were moved to Lomas del Valle campus that houses the Institute of Biological Sciences. The clinical courses were in the Hospital Ramon Garibay. Later, in 1974, the second university hospital opened; This hospital is named after one of the most prominent founders of the university, Doctor Ángel Leaño, it was designed with specific requirements for different types of learning, offering new facilities for students during their clinical semesters. Doctor Ángel Leaño university hospital and Ramón Garibay University Hospital began the internship program and specialty residencies since 1970 in pediatrics, gynecology, obstetrics, anesthesiology and pneumology. Medical School currently offers training in ophthalmology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, ENT, orthopedics and dermatology. There are master's programs in health services administration, morphological sciences, physiology and health.

The UAG Faculty of Medicine has over 15,000 graduates practicing medicine in all 50 states of the US, in over 15 countries. The school has affiliation agreements and partnerships with a number of hospitals; in Mexico there are agreements with over 100 hospitals, and with other countries.

Medicine in the community program
Education program and community care started in 1955 as a project of multidisciplinary practices involving students and professors of medicine, architecture, dentistry, social work, psychology, nursing, law and chemistry for the purpose of helping poor communities. In 1973 it was formally established as the Medicine in the Community (PMC) program as part of a plan called Education in the Community, to support the actions of the Medical Brigade (WB) and the Mobile Hospital Disaster. In 1998 the Primary Care Mobile Unit (UMAP) was created which helped in the development of basic health within the concept of Medicine in the Community (PMC) program, the activities focused on community, education and welfare, allowing an adequate and varied exercise of medical education for the poor and sick.

Notable recognition and accreditation
It is approved for listing in the World Health Organization, World Directory of medical schools, United States Department of Education approval (title IV), recognized and approved by the government of Mexico to confer the degree of Physician Surgeon, accredited by the Mexican Council for the Accreditation of Medical Education (COMAEM) the U.S. Department of Education has determined that COMAEM's (Mexican Council for the Accreditation of Medical Education) is comparable to the LCME process, Mexican republic senate recognition, The Institute for International Medical Education (IIME), Mexican Federal Secretary of Public Education (SEP),    National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation (NCFMEA), Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG),  Consejo para la Acreditación de la Educación Superior (COPAES), Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER) and others.

According to the 2018 Federation of State Medical Boards survey, the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara is one of the three international medical schools with the largest number of licensed physicians (5,742) in the United States of America (with St. George's University School of Medicine and Ross University School of Medicine).

School of Journalism
In 1970 the School of Journalism was created and was later expanded to Communication Sciences. It began shortly to publish its own newspaper, Eight Columns, written and published by students. The emergence of other newspapers, existing academic and student publications and expansion of the school, led to the creation of the Center of Communication University (CECUN) in 1977. In 1978 Eight Columns became a daily public distribution that reached the state of Jalisco and had an average of 48,000 copies and 80 pages per day.

The Communications and Development coordinates corporate communication to the media and publishing activities of the different schools and universities, teachers and student facilities.

The Nexus newspaper and the magazine Alma Mater, dedicated to university graduates and their families, and the academic publication Teaching, which is circulated in Latin America and is an instrument of international organizations such as GULERPE, CAMESA and IASEI, in the areas of health and news, are also published. The university press publishes several dozen titles a year intended for educational, cultural or research purposes, with internal circulation.

UNICO
University in the Community (UNICO) is an institution of higher education that is part of the Autonomous University of Guadalajara since 1992, inspired by the community colleges in the United States. The key features of UNICO are short courses that correspond according to the regulatory legal framework of the Secretaria de Educacion Publica (SEP). Graduates who satisfactorily meet the established academic requirements obtain a Certificate of Study and a Title issued by the Autonomous University of Guadalajara, and a Professional Certificate issued by Secretaria de Educacion Publica (SEP) with official recognition and coverage for exercise throughout the country.

Stadium
Tecos F.C. and other athletic programs play their home games at the Estadio Tres de Marzo which is located in Zapopan, Jalisco. It has a capacity of 30,015. The steel stands were prefabricated and had a capacity of around 3,000 people. By virtue of UAG ascending to the second level of Mexican football in 1973 and according to a ruling from the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol Asociación, new concrete stands were constructed on the sides of the pitch. This brought the stadium capacity to 15,000 people, the minimum forum for a second division stadium. In 1975, after the Tecos de la UAG ascended to the Primera División de Mexico, the stands were once again remodeled in order to meet the minimum demands of the division which was 25,000 people.

The stadium once again went through renovation in order to accommodate the 1986 World Cup which brought the capacity to 30,015 people after new standing room areas were created.

In 1999, Estadio Tres de Marzo underwent its last major renovation which included improvements such as a new pitch and drainage system. The stadium earned its name from the founding date of the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara, on March 3, 1935.

Soccer
The school's professional soccer team is named Tecos after the university symbol, the Tecolote, which is a word for "owl" in Spanish, and which is derived from the Nahuatl word for owl, tecolotl. The team plays in Estadio Tres de Marzo.

The university was founded in 1935 and soon had a team to play amateur soccer until 1971 when they joined Federacion Mexicana de Futbol. They gained promotion to Liga de Ascenso in their second season after beating La Piedad 4–0 under the management of Guillermo Sepulveda. Two years later, in the 1974–1975 season, they were promoted to Primera División Mexicana by beating Irapuato in a promotion game under the management of Everardo Villaseñor.

Previously named Club de Fútbol U.A.G., Estudiantes have won the national championship once and are the only team in Mexican football history to ascend from the two lower divisions and get the championship.

In 2009, the name of the UAG soccer team changed to Estudiantes.

Fujiwhara effect

The Fujiwhara effect, sometimes referred to as the Fujiwara effect, Fujiw(h)ara interaction or binary interaction, is a phenomenon that occurs when two nearby cyclonic vortices move around each other and close the distance between the circulations of their corresponding low-pressure areas. The effect is named after Sakuhei Fujiwhara, the Japanese meteorologist who initially described the effect. Binary interaction of smaller circulations can cause the development of a larger cyclone, or cause two cyclones to merge into one. Extratropical cyclones typically engage in binary interaction when within 2000 km of one another, while tropical cyclones typically interact within 1400 km of each other.

Description

When cyclones are in proximity of one another, their centers will circle each other cyclonically (counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere) about a point between the two systems due to their cyclonic wind circulations. The two vortices will be attracted to each other, and eventually spiral into the center point and merge. It has not been agreed upon whether this is due to the divergent portion of the wind or vorticity advection. When the two vortices are of unequal size, the larger vortex will tend to dominate the interaction, and the smaller vortex will circle around it. The effect is named after Sakuhei Fujiwhara, the Japanese meteorologist who initially described it in a 1921 paper about the motion of vortices in water.

Tropical cyclones
Tropical cyclones can form when smaller circulations within the Intertropical Convergence Zone merge. The effect is often mentioned in relation to the motion of tropical cyclones, although the final merging of the two storms is uncommon. The effect becomes noticeable when they approach within 1400 km of each other. Rotation rates within binary pairs accelerate when tropical cyclones close within 650 km of each other. Merger of the two systems (or shearing out of one of the pair) becomes realized when they are within 300 km of one another.

Extratropical cyclones

Binary interaction is seen between nearby extratropical cyclones when within 2000 km of each other, with significant acceleration occurring when the low-pressure areas are within 1100 km of one another. Interactions between their circulations at the 500 hPa level (18,000 feet above sea level) behave more predictably than their surface circulations. This most often results in a merging of the two low-pressure systems into a single extratropical cyclone, or can less commonly result in a change of direction of one or both of the cyclones. The precise results of such interactions depend on factors such as the size of the two cyclones, their distance from each other, and the prevailing atmospheric conditions around them.

Haywire (band)

Haywire is a Canadian rock band, originally from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada.

History
Haywire was formed in Charlottetown in 1981 by Paul MacAusland (vocals), Marvin Birt (guitar/vocals), David Rashed (keys/vocals), Ronnie Switzer (bass/vocals) and Scott Roberts (drums). Ron "Bumble" LeBlanc replaced Roberts in 1984, playing with the band through their demo, EP, and three cuts on their debut Attic release before leaving to continue his education. Mac Cole filled the drum seat briefly until Sean Kilbride (a long-time friend of the band) rounded out the line-up.

In 1984, they won the "Q104 Homegrown" (Volume 1) contest; the first prize was the chance to record a single, but the band took the opportunity to invest additional money of their own and record a five-song EP, Haywire (1985), which eventually sold over 5,000 copies in the Maritimes. In 1985, they won the Labatt's "Battle of the Bands" competition, and used the $10,000 first prize to record more material. In 1986, the group signed a recording contract with Canadian independent label Attic Records.

Their first album, Bad Boys (1986), went platinum in Canada, while the title track became a Top 40 hit. The following year, they released Don't Just Stand There (1987), which also went platinum, and contained their highest charting hit, the hard-driving, "Dance Desire". A promised third video was not forthcoming from the label, so Haywire financed the video for "Fire" themselves. Throughout the late 1980s, Haywire toured with other popular Canadian rockers such as Helix, Honeymoon Suite and Kim Mitchell. They also represented Canada in the World Popular Song Festival in Japan, where "Dance Desire" won the award for best song. Despite their success in Canada, and interest from managers Doc McGee (Bon Jovi, Mötley Crüe, Skid Row) and Q Prime (Def Leppard, Metallica, Queensrÿche) and label interest from Chrysalis Records, they were unable to secure a U.S. recording contract due to limitations related to their contract with Attic Records.

The follow-up album, Nuthouse (1990), was recorded in Norway with producer Bjorn Nessjo. Unsatisfied with the final mix of the album, Haywire flew back to Canada and remixed it themselves; the final result was a harder edged, guitar-driven record. The videos for the first two singles, "Short End of a Wishbone" and "Operator Central", were the most expensive Canadian music videos produced that year. Although it hit platinum sales, the album represented a major change in musical direction, and as a result alienated some of the younger fans of the band's first two records. While it did garner significant AOR radio airplay and was well-received, the record company was unenthusiastic about the new direction and following, and as a result Attic halted promotion of the album without a promised third video.

The band produced one more album, Get Off (1992), which was critically well-received, but again did not receive adequate support from the record company. Haywire produced the album's first two videos ("Get Back" and "Wanna Be The One") for the price of one, with the label promising a third for the single "Buzz" (their second-highest charting single, at No. 13) which ultimately was not produced. After prolonged contractual struggles, the group refused to re-sign with Attic; to fulfill Haywire's contractual obligations, Attic released a greatest hits CD in 1993 (entitled Wired: The Best of Haywire) without the band's input.

The band had their albums re-issued in the United States on CD through Unidisc Music.

In November 2006, Haywire were awarded the Music Prince Edward Island Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2011, Haywire were presented with the Dr. Helen Creighton 'Lifetime Achievement Award' from the East Coast Music Association (ECMA)

Haywire continues to work on new album material with an album release in 2021.

Jason Webley
Senator Roy: I'm afraid I've had to remove your contributions to the Jason Webley article because it was clearly copyrighted text from the Springman Records website. Wikipedia (unlike DavisWiki) has very strict policies when it comes the posting of unauthorized copyrighted works (see Policies and guidelines). I highly recommend you contact Springman Records and request that they release their biography of Jason Webley under the GNU Free Documentation License -- the license under which Wikipedia is distributed. If they agree, we can then revert the biography back into the article. Thanks.
 * --Bungopolis 21:52, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It's no problem at all to use that biography in the article as long as we have express permission from the copyright holder (could be Jason or Avi or Springman Records) that it may be licensed under the GFDL (it may also be simply released into the public domain). It sounds like they wont have any problem doing that, so your best bet is to put a disclaimer (maybe a quote from an email from whoever is the copyright holder) in the discussion page saying that it has been released under GFDL. Happy editing and good luck on finals.

Good photo. I'm assuming you might have taken it, so you should add one of the Image copyright tags to its page so that we know it's okay to use in the encyclopedia. If you did take it, you should agree to release it under the GFDL by using the GFDL-self tag, or into the public domain with the PD-self tag. If it's someone else's, get him or her to agree to that effect and then add the GFDL or PD tag. Sorry if I sound like a jerk, but for the sake of the project it's really important to keep the legality of our contributions very clear. In any case, all media uploaded here that cannot be confirmed to be legal for redistribution is eventually destroyed, so its always a good idea to add a copyright tag to images.

University of Fiji

The University of Fiji is a university based in Saweni, Lautoka, Fiji. It was established in December 2004 under academic leadership of the Fiji Institute of Applied Studies and financial sponsorship of the Arya Pratinidhi Sabha of Fiji, a Hindu religious organization dedicated to education." On 14 February 2016, the Native Lands Trust Board (NLTB) signed a 99-year lease with the university for the 5-hectare property, for which the university paid F$100,000. The university agreed in return to provide two scholarships annually for the children of landowners.

The University of Fiji honoured its first graduates in 2008. Fiji's President Ratu Josefa Iloilovatu, who is also the University's Chancellor, spoke at the graduation ceremony, and commended the university for making it compulsory for all students to follow basic courses in Fijian and Hindi: “Our future depends on our ability and desire to understand each other better, to communicate with each other better, and to assist each other. Being able to communicate in each other’s language is vital for this.” Fijian is the language of the country's majority ethnic group, while Hindi is the main language of the largest ethnic minority.

Courses and departments
The university offers courses up to postgraduate level in the following fields: Accounting, Economics, Management, Computing Science, Information Technology, Mathematics, Language and Literature, Fijian Language and Culture, Medicine, Law, and Hindi Language and Culture.

It includes six "Centres of Excellence", namely a Centre for Indigenous Studies (CIS), a Centre for International and Regional Affairs (CIRA), the Gandhi-Tappoo Centre for Writing, Ethics and Peace Studies (WEPS), a Centre for Diasporic Studies (CDS), a Centre for Gender Research (CGR), and a Centre for Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development.

University finance and administration
The university is governed by the University of Fiji Council. In addition to the Arya Pratinidhi Sabha, stakeholders include the Shri Sanatan Dharam, the Fiji Muslim League, the Gujarat Education Society, the Sikh Education Society, the Andhra Sangam, the TISI Sangam, the Kabir Path Sabha, and the Fiji Teachers Union. The university has also invited the University of the South Pacific, the Fiji Council of Churches, the Methodist Church of Fiji and Rotuma, the Roman Catholic Church in Fiji, the Fiji Girmit Centre, the Great Council of Chiefs, the Ba Provincial Council, the Fijian Teachers Association, and the Ministry of Education to appoint representatives to the Council.

Benefactors include the India-Fiji Festival Committee, which on 16 February 2006 donated F$10,000 to the university for the tertiary education of underprivileged students.

The University of Fiji has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Australia's University of Canberra to foster collaboration in research and facilitate exchanges of staff and students. Vice-Chancellor Rajesh Chandra said on 26 May 2005 that the agreement would effectively link the University of Fiji with international academic networks and would help ensure the quality of instruction.

Future plans and goals
The Fiji Times quoted Professor Chandra on 16 February 2006 as saying that making higher education available to underprivileged communities would lead to equitable development, which would foster social and political stability in the long run.

Professor Chandra announced plans on 6 March to establish a medical school, and said that if donors could be found, the university would set up another campus in the northern island of Vanua Levu. The medical school, to be called the Dr Umanand Prasad School of Medicine, is the brainchild of Dr. Umanand Prasad, a native of Labasa who has invested F$1 million for a medical school in his home country, after thirty years abroad. It has been operational since March 2008.

Pyrrolidine

Pyrrolidine, also known as tetrahydropyrrole, is an organic compound with the molecular formula (CH2)4NH. It is a cyclic secondary amine, also classified as a saturated heterocycle. It is a colourless liquid that is miscible with water and most organic solvents. It has a characteristic odor that has been described as "ammoniacal, fishy, shellfish-like". In addition to pyrrolidine itself, many substituted pyrrolidines are known.

Industrial production
Pyrrolidine is prepared industrially by the reaction of 1,4-butanediol and ammonia at a temperature of 165–200 °C and a pressure of 17–21 MPa in the presence of a cobalt- and nickel oxide catalyst, which is supported on alumina.

 * Industrial synthesis of pyrrolidine.svg

The reaction is carried out in the liquid phase in a continuous tube- or tube bundle reactor, which is operated in the cycle gas method. The catalyst is arranged as a fixed-bed and the conversion is carried out in the downflow mode. The product is obtained after multistage purification and separation by extractive and azeotropic distillation.

Laboratory synthesis
In the laboratory, pyrrolidine was usually synthesised by treating 4-chlorobutan-1-amine with a strong base:

 * Pyrrolidine synthesis.jpg

Furthermore, 5-membered N-heterocyclic ring of the pyrrolidine derivatives can be synthesized via cascade reactions.

Occurrence
Many modifications of pyrrolidine are found in natural and synthetic drugs and drug candidates. The pyrrolidine ring structure is present in numerous natural alkaloids i.a. nicotine and hygrine. It is found in many drugs such as procyclidine and bepridil. It also forms the basis for the racetam compounds (e.g. piracetam, aniracetam). The amino acids proline and hydroxyproline are, in a structural sense, derivatives of pyrrolidine.
 * Nicotine.svg

Reactions
Pyrrolidine is a base. Its basicity is typical of other dialkyl amines. Relative to many secondary amines, pyrrolidine is distinctive because of its compactness, a consequence of its cyclic structure.

Pyrrolidine is used as a building block in the synthesis of more complex organic compounds. It is used to activate ketones and aldehydes toward nucleophilic addition by formation of enamines (e.g. used in the Stork enamine alkylation):

Nakasuk

Nakasuk (Inuktitut syllabics: ᓇᑲᓱᒃ ) was an Inuk who was born at a sealing camp near Pangnirtung, Northwest Territories (now Nunavut) in the early 20th century and grew up around Kimmirut (formerly Lake Harbour). He assisted a US Navy party wintering on Baffin Island during the 1941–1942 winter to find a suitable location for a US air base.

The site they selected is the location of the modern community of Iqaluit. Nakasuk remained at the site to assist the Americans in establishing their base, and settled there permanently after its completion, becoming Iqaluit's first permanent resident. He is therefore remembered as the founder of Iqaluit, and Nakasuk Elementary School is named in his honour.

His name means "bladder" in Inuktitut.

 * Cut & paste moves create an intolerable burden in conforming with the GFDL; you'll probably see (if you hunt hard enuf) that some ed has occasionally persisted in doing them, after being informed; they would reversed quickly by wiser colleagues cooperating in monitoring the article and/or editor involved, and if persistant enough get their accounts blocked or even get banned.
 * Moves are reversible using the "Move this page" tool, altho this sometimes requires the assistance of an admin to delete a stack of redirects or to merge two sets of versions that have been created in separate "lineages" due to various problems (including cut & paste moves that didn't get reverted quickly enough).
 * Sorry if the correction seemed inceremonious: chalk it up to bold editing on both our parts, and to my confidence, based on experience, as to what the outcome of a sufficiently wide discussion would have been. I mostly prefer editing to talk, as that gives me the more convincing illusion of making progress. [wink]  I'm convinced that keeping people motivated to do what they are interested in is one of WP's hidden strengths, and the logic behind "edit boldly".
 * As to the core problem you see in my approach, a better solution would be to see if some of your colleagues can build it up, in ways you can't yet imagine (e.g. bcz it hasn't occurred to you to mention the Spidron's hidden fatal weakness, or its back story, or what happened to it at the end of the episode), into a viable single-topic article, and if not, merge it into a wider article (or rename it into a stub, if no other info is yet at hand) like maybe, i guess, 12th-season Tomorrow People characters. BTW, i liked the KKK mention, which is interesting and IMO encyclopedic. And that's the kind of outside-the-box thinking that will pay off here, perhaps in finding how to flesh this out as a free-standing article.

Hội An

Hội An, formerly known in the Western world as Faifoo or Faifo, is a city of approximately 120,000 people in Vietnam's Quảng Nam Province, registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999. Along with the Cù Lao Cham archipelago, it is part of the Cù Lao Cham-Hội An Biosphere Reserve, designated in 2009. In 2023, Hội An was registered in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network list.

Old Town Hội An, the city's historic district, is recognized as a well-preserved example of a Southeast Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century, its buildings and street plan reflecting a blend of indigenous and foreign influences. Prominent in the city's old town is its covered "Japanese Bridge", dating to the 16th–17th century.

Hội An is one of the locations set in the opera "Princess Anio."

Etymology
Hội An (chữ Hán: 會安) translates as "peaceful meeting place" from Sino-Vietnamese. In English and other European languages, the town was known historically as Faifo. This word is derived from Vietnamese Hội An phố (the town of Hội An), which was shortened to "Hoi-pho", and then to "Faifo". It has also been known by various other Vietnamese names, including Hải Phố, Hoài Phố, Hội Phố, and Hoa Phố. During the Champa period, it was named Lam Ap Pho.

Cham period (2nd century-15th century)
Between the 7th and 10th centuries, the Chams (people of Champa) controlled the strategic spice trade and with this came increasing wealth.

The early history of Hội An is that of the Chams. These Austronesian-speaking Malayo-Polynesian people created the Kingdom of Champa which occupied much of what is now central and lower Vietnam, from Huế to beyond Nha Trang. Various linguistic connections between Cham and the related Jarai language and the Austronesian languages of Indonesia (particularly Acehnese), Malaysia, and Hainan have been documented. In the early years, Mỹ Sơn was the spiritual capital, Trà Kiệu was the political capital and Hội An was the commercial capital of the Chams, they later moved further down towards Nha Trang. The river system was used for the transport of goods between the highlands, as well as the inland countries of Laos and Thailand and its lowlands.

Vietnamese period
In 1306, the Vietnamese and the Chams signed a land treaty, in which Cham king Jaya Simhavarman III gave Đại Việt the two provinces of Ô and Lý in exchange for a long-term peace and marriage with emperor Trần Nhân Tông's daughter Huyền Trân. In 1471, Emperor Lê Thánh Tông of Đại Việt annexed Champa and Hội An became a Vietnamese territory, and also became the capital of Quảng Nam Province.

In 1535, Portuguese explorer and sea captain António de Faria, coming from Đà Nẵng, tried to establish a major trading centre at the port village of Faifo. Since 1570, Southern Vietnam had been under the control of the powerful Nguyễn clan, established by governor Nguyễn Hoàng. The Nguyễn lords were far more interested in commercial activity than the Trịnh lords who ruled the north. As a result, Hội An flourished as a trading port and became the most important trade port on the South China Sea. Captain William Adams, the English sailor and confidant of Tokugawa Ieyasu, is known to have made one trading mission to Hội An in 1617 on a Red Seal Ship. The early Portuguese Jesuits also had one of their two residences at Hội An.

Hội An was a divided town with the Japanese settlement across the "Japanese Bridge", constructed in the 16th-17th century. The bridge (Chùa Cầu) is a unique covered structure built by Japanese merchants, the only known covered bridge with a Buddhist temple attached on one side. In the 18th century, Hội An was considered by Chinese and Japanese merchants to be the best destination for trading in all of Southeast Asia. The city also rose to prominence as a powerful and exclusive trade conduit between Europe, China, India, and Japan, especially for the ceramic industry. Shipwreck discoveries have shown that Vietnamese and other Asian ceramics were transported from Hội An to as far as the Sinai in Egypt.

Hội An's importance waned sharply at the end of the 18th century because of the collapse of Nguyễn rule, which resulted from the Tây Sơn Rebellion - which was opposed to foreign trade. In 1775, Hội An had been the battleground between the Trịnh army and Tây Sơn rebels, where the city was destroyed in the process. Then, with the triumph of Emperor Gia Long, he repaid the French for their aid by giving them exclusive trade rights to the nearby port town of Đà Nẵng.

Between 1907 and 1915, Tramway de l’Îlot de l’Observatoire operated from Đà Nẵng. As Đà Nẵng became the new centre of trade, and with maintenance difficulties, the tramway ended its operations.

In May 1945, a group of 11 civilians of the resistance movement, including the composer La Hoi, were executed by the Japanese imperial army. In August, Hoi An became one of the earliest towns to seize power.

Local historians also say that Hội An lost its status as a desirable trade port due to the silting up of the river mouth. The result was that Hội An remained almost untouched by the changes to Vietnam over the next 200 years.

The efforts to revive the city were only done in the 1990s by a Polish architect and conservator from Lublin and influential cultural educator, Kazimierz Kwiatkowski, who finally brought back Hội An to the world. There is a statue of the Polish architect in the city, and remains a symbol of the relationship between Poland and Vietnam, which share many historical similarities despite their distance.

Today, the town is a tourist attraction because of its history, traditional architecture, and crafts such as textiles and ceramics. Many bars, hotels, and resorts have been constructed both in Hội An and the surrounding area. The port mouth and boats are still used for both fishing and tourism.

Weather
Hoi An has two main seasons during the year: rainy and dry seasons, with a warm average temperature of 29 °C during the year. The hottest period is from June to August when the highest temperature can reach 38 °C during day time. November to January are the coldest months, with an average temperature of 20 °C. The rainy season lasts from September to January with heavy rains which can cause floods and affect tourism. The city's dry season is between February and May, when the weather becomes very mild with moderate temperature and less humid. Calm mild weather is now limited to the season of May/June - end of August when the seas are calm and wind changes direction and comes from the South. The remainder of the year the weather is intermittent between rain & cold and hot & mild. Activities such as visiting the offshore Cù lao Chàm islands are only guaranteed to be likely during the short season from May to the end of August, which is the high season for domestic tourism.

Heritage and tourism
In 1999 the old town was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO as a well-preserved example of a Southeast Asian trading port of the 15th to 19th centuries, with buildings that display a blend of local and foreign influences. According to the UNESCO Impact Report 2008 on Hội An, there are challenges for stakeholders to protect the heritage from tourism. Owing to the increased number of tourists visiting Hoi An a variety of activities are emerging that allow guests to get out of the old quarter and explore by motorbike, bicycle, kayak, or motorboat. The Thu Bon River is still essential to the region more than 500 years after António de Faria first navigated it and it remains an essential form of food production and transport. As such kayak and motorboat rides are becoming an increasingly common tourist activity.

This longtime trading port city offers a distinctive regional cuisine that blends centuries of cultural influences from East and Southeast Asia. Hoi An hosts a number of cooking classes where tourists can learn to make Cao lầu or braised spiced pork noodle, a signature dish of the city.

The Hoi An wreck, a shipwreck from the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century, was discovered near the Cham Islands, off the coast of the city in the 1990s. Between 1996 and 1999, nearly three hundred thousand artifacts were recovered by the excavation teams, that included the Vietnamese National Salvage Corporation and Oxford University’s Marine Archaeology Research Division.

Another attraction is the Hoi An Lantern Full Moon Festival taking place every full moon cycle. The celebrations honour the ancestors. People exchange flowers, lanterns, candles, and fruits for prosperity and good fortune.

In 2019, Hoi An was listed as one of Vietnam's key culture-based tourist areas where rampant tourism growth "threatens the sustainability". Excessive tourism in the past has also damaged the eco-system of Chàm Islands-Hội An Marine Protected Area.

Museums
The city has four museums highlighting the history of the region. These museums are managed by the Hoi An Center for Cultural Heritage Management and Preservation. Entrance to the museum is permitted with a Hoi An Entrance Ticket.

The Museum of History and Culture, at 13 Nguyen Hue St, was originally a pagoda, built in the 17th century by Minh Huong villagers to worship the Guanyin, and is adjacent to the Guan Yu temple. It contains original relics from the Sa Huynh, Champa, Dai Viet and Dai Nam periods, tracing the history of Hoi An's inhabitants from its earliest settlers through to French colonial times.

The Hoi An Folklore Museum, at 33 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, was opened in 2005, and is the largest two-storey wooden building in the old town, at 57m long and 9m wide, with fronts at Nguyen Thai Hoc St and Bach Dang St. On the second floor, there are 490 artifacts, organised into four areas: plastic folk arts, performing folk arts, traditional occupations and artifacts related to the daily life of Hoi An residents.

The Museum of Trade Ceramics is located at 80 Tran Phu Street, and was established in 1995, in a restored wooden building, originally built around 1858. The items originating from Persia, China, Thailand, India and other countries are proof of the importance of Hội An as a major trading port in South East Asia.

The Museum of Sa Huỳnh Culture, is located at 149 Tran Phu Street. Established in 1994, this museum displays a collection of over 200 artifacts from the Sa Huỳnh culture—considered to be the original settlers on the Hội An site—dating to over 2000 years ago. This museum is considered to be the most unusual collection of Sa Huỳnh artefacts in Vietnam.

The Precious Heritage Art Gallery Museum is located at 26 Phan Boi Chau. It includes a 500m2 display of photos and artifacts collected by Réhahn during the past 10 years of the French photographer's explorations of Vietnam.

The Hội An Museum, is a history museum located at 10B Trần Hưng Đạo.

Food
According to CNN, Hoi An is the "banh mi capital of Vietnam." Banh Mi is a type of Vietnamese sandwich, consisting of a baguette, pâté, meats and fresh herbs.

Cao lầu is a signature dish of the town, consisting of rice noodles, meat, greens, bean sprouts, and herbs, most commonly served with a small amount of broth, with a strong resemblance to Japanese udon. The water for the broth has been traditionally taken from the Ba Le Well, thought to have been built in the 10th century by the Chams.

Other regional specialties include Mi quang noodles, Banh bao banh vac, Hoanh thanh, com ga (chicken with rice), bánh xèo, sweet corn soup and baby clam salad are also regional specialties. Chili sauce, Ớt Tương Triều Phát, is also produced locally.

In addition, herbal teas with natural ingredients such as licorice, cinnamon, chamomile, lemongrass, etc. It is also a popular local drink among tourists.

Hoi An Lantern Festival
The Hoi An Lantern Festival, a renowned cultural event in Hoi An, Vietnam, is a celebration of light, color, and tradition. This vibrant and enchanting festival is held on the 14th day of each lunar month when the moon is at its brightest. As of 2023, the festival dates coincide with the following Gregorian calendar dates: 5 February, 6 March, 5 April, 4 May, 3 June, 2 July, 1 August, 30 August, 29 September, 28 October, 27 November, 26 December; offering an extraordinary experience to both residents and tourists. Throughout the year, the festival showcases Hoi An's rich heritage, featuring a stunning display of thousands of lanterns illuminating the ancient town and the serene Thu Bon River.

The Hoi An Lantern Festival holds a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors alike. It serves as a platform to celebrate Vietnam's culture and heritage, fostering a sense of community and unity. During the festival, the entire town is adorned with radiant, handcrafted lanterns, creating a surreal and mesmerizing atmosphere that transports participants back in time. The festival encapsulates the unique blend of influences in Hoi An, including Chinese, Japanese, and European, making it an exceptional showcase of cultural diversity. In addition to the visual spectacle, the festival also offers a diverse array of street food, traditional music performances, and rituals that engage attendees in the rich tapestry of Vietnamese traditions.

Visitors to the Hoi An Lantern Festival can expect a plethora of activities and experiences that cater to all ages and preferences. As the sun sets, the town's streets come alive with the soft glow of lanterns. One of the highlights is the ritual of releasing floating lanterns on the Thu Bon River, symbolizing the sending away of worries and bad luck, and welcoming good fortune. Traditional music and dance performances are held at various locations throughout the town, providing insight into Vietnam's artistic heritage. Furthermore, visitors can indulge in a delectable array of street food, from savory dishes to sweet treats, making the festival a true culinary delight. Hoi An Lantern Festival continues to capture the hearts and imagination of all who partake, ensuring that this captivating event remains an integral part of Hoi An's cultural identity and the global calendar of must-visit festivals.

Hume-Fogg High School

Hume-Fogg Academic Magnet High School is a public magnet high school serving grades 9–12 and located in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, United States.

History
Hume School, serving the first through 12th grades, opened in 1855 on Eighth Avenue (Spruce Street) just north of Broad and was the first public school in Nashville.

In 1875 Fogg High School was built adjacent to Hume School at the corner of Broad and Eighth and absorbed its high school students. Around 1910 both schools were razed and replaced by Hume-Fogg High School, a Gothic Revival building, which opened in 1912. The building consists of five floors including a basement, which has several tunnels leading to various locations in downtown Nashville. However, they are currently boarded off and inaccessible. In 1942 Hume-Fogg was recast as a technical and vocational school.

It continued in this capacity until the 1972 court-supervised desegregation of Nashville's public school system, decades after the US Supreme Court ruled that segregation of public schools was unconstitutional. In that year Hume-Fogg was redeveloped as an academic magnet school for Nashville's gifted and talented secondary students. In the 2004–2005 school year Hume-Fogg celebrated its sesquicentennial anniversary.

Academics
Hume-Fogg is an academic magnet school and offers 31 advanced-placement (AP) courses. All academic courses—with the exception of PE and art courses—are taught at the honors or AP level.

Nearly 100 percent of graduates each year go on to four-year colleges, many earning prestigious academic scholarships in the process. Each year the Hume-Fogg senior class is granted over ten million dollars in cumulative scholarship and grant money from various universities across the United States.

In 2012, Hume-Fogg had twelve National Merit Semifinalists and four National Achievement Semifinalists, as well as four semifinalists in the Intel Science Talent Search Competition and three semifinalists in the Siemens Competition in Math, Science, and Technology.

In the 2006–2007 academic year Hume-Fogg received the National Siemens Award for one of the best science- and math-based academic programs in the country. In addition, Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report have consistently ranked Hume-Fogg among the top public high schools in America:

Arts at Hume-Fogg
Hume-Fogg's Arts Department consists of Fine Arts, Band, Orchestra, Choir, and Theater programs.

Every year, Hume-Fogg's theater department collaborates with the choral and orchestral programs on the production of a fall musical. Recent productions include Hairspray, West Side Story, Les Misérables, and Beauty and the Beast.

The Band program consists of Beginning Band, Concert Band, Wind Ensemble, and two Jazz Bands, and jazz combos. The jazz band has competed in the Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition and Festival in New York City on several occasions. The Orchestra program consists of Beginning Strings, Philharmonic Orchestra, and Chamber Orchestra. The Chamber Orchestra has played at the Nashville Downtown Partnership and the Governor's Literacy Alliance Dinner for several years. The Choral program consists of a Mixed Chorus and a Show Choir. Several students perform in musical groups outside of school such as the Curb Youth Symphony, Music City Youth Orchestra, and the Blair Chorus programs.

Walkout

In labor disputes, a walkout is a labor strike, the act of employees collectively leaving the workplace and withholding labor as an act of protest.

A walkout can also mean the act of leaving a place of work, school, a meeting, a company, or an organization, especially if meant as an expression of protest or disapproval.

A walkout can be seen as different from a strike in that a walkout can occur spontaneously, and need not necessarily involve all the workers present, whereas a strike is often voted on beforehand by the workers, giving notification both to all of the workers and to the company affected.

Walkouts have often been staged against the presence of a speaker or the content of an in-progress speech at a meeting. The protest, which is often a silent, non-violent means of expressing disapproval, is often interpreted as an exercise of the freedom of association while allowing the speaker to exercise the freedom of speech, albeit with a reduced audience in attendance.

1968 East Los Angeles
These were a series of 1968 protests against unequal conditions in Los Angeles Unified School District high schools, beginning on March 6.

Background
In the beginning of the 19th century there was a change in economic circumstances with the booming Industrial Revolution and young single women, between ages of fourteen to early twenties felt the need to work to relieve financial pressures from their family and to gain a sense of independence of living on their own. They left home and began a new life in the mill boarding houses. While working in the mills they would send some monthly earnings back home to still fulfill the role as a contributing part of the family. However, the majority of their earnings was saved in the bank for their own desires. Most women who made this change came from a modest farming backgrounds and made the move to areas of New England and Mid Atlantic States.

Economic Crisis of 1834
In the early months of 1834, textile sales were slow and profits were not up to standard to provide sufficient wages for the women mill workers of Lowell, Massachusetts. As a result, wages were cut and the price of room and board went up. The mill factory women saw this wage cut and price increase as an offense to their dignity, social quality, and economic autonomy. The women decided to take action and many started petitions and held meetings during dinner breaks. They pledged that they would quit if the wage rates decreased. On a Friday in February 1834, a sporadic walkout began after a meeting in which an agent of a mill company dismissed a woman factory worker. Protesting began and the women quit work and started parading through the city streets, attempting to persuade other mill women to join. This walkout was short-lived, and by the middle of the next week the women either returned to work or left town. Only about one-sixth of all women workers in Lowell walked out.

Walkout of October 1836
In October 1836, the women workers in the Lowell, Massachusetts factory mills walked out once again for the same reasons as the strike in 1834. The young women saw the wage-cut and the increasing prices of housing board as a direct assault on their social and economic independence, and they wouldn't let the revolting wage-cut and rising prices undermined their status as "daughters of freemen". Furthermore, as influenced by their traditional values, the young women did not accept to be treated as slaves so they protested. In this second walkout however, the women workers were more organized, and the number of workers involved in the strikes were far numerous than the one sixth of all the factory workers in 1834 and this had a greater impact on the success of their operation. The other cause to their success of this second walkout was the economic prosperity of the 1840s; the mills profits were booming and they needed more workers. Therefore, the walkout of 1836 affected the mills greatly because they were short in workers, and the lengthy absence of the women accentuated the impact. As a result, some of the mills were obliged to cut their charges on housing, and they were forced to cooperate with the women workers' organization.

Effects
The women wanted to take a stand for their independence. With the decision making of having walkouts, they portrayed how women started a new revolution with a new idea of feminine autonomy and power. The 1834 and 1836 walkouts symbolized women standing against oppression by employers who wished to lower their wages, as well as increase the price in housing. With these walkouts women took a stand for themselves as well as paved the way for the generations of women to come.
