East Cape to Cape Egmont Traverse

The East Cape to Cape Egmont Traverse is a pilgrimage in New Zealand that holds historical and cultural significance. Two authors have documented their experiences in books: Raymond Salisbury's "Cape to Cape – 80 Day Traverse of the North Island " and A.H. Reed's "From East Cape to Cape Egmont On Foot at Eighty-six" (1st Edition 1962).

The traverse involves a pilgrimage through the landscapes where early pioneers once tread. A.H. Reed, at the age of 86, undertook the traverse, opting for a route along the east coast beaches before heading west inland, avoiding the challenging Raukumara Range Forest Park route.

Proposed Cape Egmont to East Cape walkway
In the late 1970s, the know disestablished Department of Survey and Land Information commenced a project to link Cape Egmont to East Cape by a walkway.

Oone section of the ‘Cape Egmont to East Cape’ walkway was completed and still remains in use:
 * Matemateāonga Range Track – a traditional Māori trail, then a dray track in the early 20th century.

Cycle tour
In the February of 2020, the North Island traverse was completed as the "Kopiko Aotearoa" cycle tour:

West – east route:

Cape Egmont – Te Rewa Rewa Bridge – Hobbit Hole – Mangamataha Bridge – Centre of the North Island – Waiotapu – Ruatāhuna – Lake Waikaremoana – Rere rock-slide – Motu Road – Bay of Plenty – East Cape Lighthouse

East – West route:

East Cape Lighthouse – Bay of Plenty – Motu Road – Rere rock-slide – Lake Waikaremoana – Ruatāhuna – Waiotapu – Centre of the North Island – Mangamataha Bridge – Hobbit Hole – Te Rewa Rewa Bridge – Cape Egmont

Officium (ancient Rome)

Officium (: officia) is a Latin word with various meanings in ancient Rome, including "service", "(sense of) duty", "courtesy", "ceremony" and the like. It commonly also referred to the office of a magistrate and his sometimes numerous staff, each of whom was called an officialis (hence the modern official).

The Notitia Dignitatum gives us uniquely detailed information, stemming from the very imperial chanceries, on the composition of the officia of many of the leading court, provincial, military and certain other officials of the two Roman empires c. 400 AD. While the details vary somewhat according to rank, from West (Rome) to East (Byzantium) and/or in particular cases, in general the leading staff would be about as follows (the English descriptions and other modern "equivalents" are approximate):

 * Princeps officii was the chief of staff, permanent secretary or chef de cabinet
 * Cornicularius was a military title, for an administrative deputy of various generals etc.
 * Adiutor (literally "helper") seems to have been the chief (general) assistant, or adjutant
 * Commentariensis was the keeper of "commentaries", an official diary
 * Ab actis was the keeper of records, the archivist
 * Numerarius ("accountant") seems to have been the receiver of taxes
 * Subadiuva ("under-helper") seems to have been a general assistant
 * Cura epistolarum was the curator of correspondence
 * Regerendarius may have been a registrar
 * Exceptor seem to have been a secretary
 * Singularius has been called a notary, but the word can also refer to a bodyguard

Below those "dignities", there were often several hundred subordinate staff, sometimes slaves or freedmen, performing day-to-day administrative duties, not deemed worthy of any more detailed mention. They are only referred to collectively, by various terms in the plural, such as cohortalini (apparently the diminutive of cohortalis, the term suggesting a large number; see cohors amicorum).

Anaplerotic reactions

Anaplerotic reactions, a term coined by Hans Kornberg and originating from the Greek ἀνά= 'up' and πληρόω= 'to fill', are chemical reactions that form intermediates of a metabolic pathway. Examples of such are found in the citric acid cycle (TCA cycle). In normal function of this cycle for respiration, concentrations of TCA intermediates remain constant; however, many biosynthetic reactions also use these molecules as a substrate. Anaplerosis is the act of replenishing TCA cycle intermediates that have been extracted for biosynthesis (in what are called anaplerotic reactions).

The TCA cycle is a hub of metabolism, with central importance in both energy production and biosynthesis. Therefore, it is crucial for the cell to regulate concentrations of TCA cycle metabolites in the mitochondria. Anaplerotic flux must balance cataplerotic flux in order to retain homeostasis of cellular metabolism.

Reactions of anaplerotic metabolism
There are five major reactions classed as anaplerotic, and it is estimated that the production of oxaloacetate from pyruvate has the most physiologic importance.

The malate is created by PEP carboxylase and malate dehydrogenase in the cytosol. Malate, in the mitochondrial matrix, can be used to make pyruvate (catalyzed by malic enzyme) or oxaloacetic acid, both of which can enter the citric acid cycle.

Glutamine can also be used to produce oxaloacetate during anaplerotic reactions in various cell types through "glutaminolysis", which is also seen in many c-Myc transformed cells. Anaplerotic enzymes mediate an alternative pathway to insulin secretion by aiding the production of cytosolic signal molecules. Pancreatic β-cells which regulate blood glucose level by secreting insulin,contain high a mounts of pyruvate carboxylase. A decrease in insulin secretion and anaplerotic activity has been found in β-cells that do not have hypoxia-inducible factor-1 beta

Diseases of anaplerotic metabolism
Pyruvate carboxylase deficiency is an inherited metabolic disorder where anaplerosis is greatly reduced. Other anaplerotic substrates such as the odd-carbon-containing triglyceride triheptanoin can be used to treat this disorder.

Clear-air turbulence

In meteorology, clear-air turbulence (CAT) is the turbulent movement of air masses in the absence of any visual clues such as clouds, and is caused when bodies of air moving at widely different speeds meet.

The atmospheric region most susceptible to CAT is the high troposphere at altitudes of around 7000 - 12000 m as it meets the tropopause. Here CAT is most frequently encountered in the regions of jet streams. At lower altitudes it may also occur near mountain ranges. Thin cirrus clouds can also indicate high probability of CAT.

CAT can be hazardous to the comfort, and occasionally the safety, of air travelers, as the aircraft pilots often cannot see and anticipate such turbulences, and a sudden encounter can impart significant stress to the airframe.

Definition
In meteorology, clear-air turbulence (CAT) is the turbulent movement of air masses in the absence of any visual clues, such as clouds, and is caused when bodies of air moving at widely different speeds meet.

In aviation, CAT is defined as "the detection by aircraft of high-altitude inflight bumps in patchy regions devoid of significant cloudiness or nearby thunderstorm activity". It was first noted in the 1940s.

Detection
Clear-air turbulence is usually impossible to detect with the naked eye and very difficult to detect with a conventional radar, with the result that it is difficult for aircraft pilots to detect and avoid it. However, it can be remotely detected with instruments that can measure turbulence with optical techniques, such as scintillometers, Doppler LIDARs, or N-slit interferometers.

Factors
At typical heights where it occurs, the intensity and location cannot be determined precisely. However, because this turbulence affects long range aircraft that fly near the tropopause, CAT has been intensely studied. Several factors affect the likelihood of CAT. Often more than one factor is present.

As of 1965 it had been noted that 64% of the non-light turbulences (not only CAT) were observed less than 150 nmi away from the core of a jet stream. Jet stream produces horizontal wind shear at its edges, caused by the different relative air speeds of the stream and the surrounding air. Wind shear, a difference in relative speed between two adjacent air masses, can produce vortices, and when of sufficient degree, the air will tend to move chaotically.

A strong anticyclone vortex can also lead to CAT.

Rossby waves caused by this jet stream shear and the Coriolis force cause it to meander.

Although the altitudes near the tropopause are usually cloudless, thin cirrus cloud can form where there are abrupt changes of air velocity, for example associated with jet streams. Lines of cirrus perpendicular to the jet stream indicate possible CAT, especially if the ends of the cirrus are dispersed, in which case the direction of dispersal can indicate if the CAT is stronger at the left or at the right of the jet stream.

A temperature gradient is the change of temperature over a distance in some given direction. Where the temperature of a gas changes, so does its density and where the density changes CAT can appear.

From the ground upwards through the troposphere temperature decreases with height; from the tropopause upwards through the stratosphere temperature increases with height. Such variations are examples of temperature gradients.

A horizontal temperature gradient may occur, and hence air density variations, where air velocity changes. An example: the speed of the jet stream is not constant along its length; additionally air temperature and hence density will vary between the air within the jet stream and the air outside.

As is explained elsewhere in this article, temperature decreases and wind velocity increase with height in the troposphere, and the reverse is true within the stratosphere. These differences cause changes in air density, and hence viscosity. The viscosity of the air thus presents both inertias and accelerations which cannot be determined in advance.

Vertical wind shear above the jet stream (i.e., in the stratosphere) is sharper when it is moving upwards, because wind speed decreases with height in the stratosphere. This is the reason CAT can be generated above the tropopause, despite the stratosphere otherwise being a region which is vertically stable. On the other hand, vertical wind shear moving downwards within the stratosphere is more moderate (i.e., because downwards wind shear within the stratosphere is effectively moving against the manner in which wind speed changes within the stratosphere) and CAT is never produced in the stratosphere. Similar considerations apply to the troposphere but in reverse.

When strong wind deviates, the change of wind direction implies a change in the wind speed. A stream of wind can change its direction by differences of pressure. CAT appears more frequently when the wind is surrounding a low pressure region, especially with sharp troughs that change the wind direction more than 100°. Extreme CAT has been reported without any other factor than this.

Mountain waves are formed when four requirements are met. When these factors coincide with jet streams, CAT can occur:
 * A mountain range, not an isolated mountain
 * Strong perpendicular wind
 * Wind direction maintained with altitude
 * Temperature inversion at the top of the mountain range

The tropopause is a layer which separates two very different types of air. Beneath it, the air gets colder and the wind gets faster with height. Above it, the air warms and wind velocity decreases with height. These changes in temperature and velocity can produce fluctuation in the altitude of the tropopause, called gravity waves.

Pilot rules
When a pilot experiences CAT, a number of rules should be applied:
 * The aircraft must sustain the recommended velocity for turbulence.
 * When following the jet stream to escape from the CAT, the aircraft must change altitude and/or heading.
 * When the CAT arrives from one side of the airplane, the pilot must observe the thermometer to determine whether the aircraft is above or below the jet stream and then move away from the tropopause.
 * When the CAT is associated with a sharp trough, the plane must go through the low-pressure region instead of around it.
 * The pilot may issue a Pilot Report (PIREP), communicating position, altitude and severity of the turbulence to warn other aircraft entering the region.

Cases
Because aircraft move so quickly, they can experience sudden unexpected accelerations or 'bumps' from turbulence, including CAT – as the aircraft rapidly cross invisible bodies of air which are moving vertically at many different speeds. Although the vast majority of cases of turbulence are harmless, in rare cases cabin crew and passengers on aircraft have been injured when tossed around inside an aircraft cabin during extreme turbulence. In a small number of cases, people have been killed.

 * On March 5, 1966, BOAC Flight 911 from Tokyo to Hong Kong, a Boeing 707, broke up in CAT, with the loss of all persons (124) on board after experiencing severe lee-wave turbulence just downwind of Mount Fuji, Japan. The sequence of failure started with the vertical stabilizer getting ripped off.
 * On December 28, 1997 on United Airlines Flight 826, one person died.
 * On May 1, 2017, Aeroflot Flight 270 from Moscow to Bangkok, a Boeing 777, flew into clear air turbulence, and 27 passengers who were not buckled up sustained injuries.
 * On August 29, 2023, 11 people that were on a Delta Air Lines flight from Milan to Atlanta were sent to the hospital after “severe turbulence”.
 * On May 21, 2024, one passenger died and dozens were injured on Singapore Airlines Flight 321 from London to Singapore, causing the plane to divert to Bangkok.

Gravity model

Gravity models are used in various social sciences to predict and describe certain behaviors that mimic gravitational interaction as described in Isaac Newton's laws of gravity. Generally, the social science models contain some elements of mass and distance, which lends them to the metaphor of physical gravity. A gravity model provides an estimate of the volume of flows of, for example, goods, services, or people between two or more locations. This could be the movement of people between cities or the volume of trade between countries.

A gravity model cannot accurately predict flows, but is instead a measure against which actual observed values can be compared, highlighting where those flows are unexpectedly high or low.

Social science gravity models:
 * Gravity model of trade
 * Trip distribution
 * Gravity model of migration
 * Two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method
 * Reilly's law of retail gravitation

Kenny MacLean

Kenneth Irving MacLean (January 9, 1956 – November 24, 2008) was a Scottish-Canadian musician, best known as a member of the multi-platinum selling band Platinum Blonde.

Biography
MacLean was born in Glasgow on January 9, 1956.

Musical career
A former hairdresser, he was a member of the group The Hairdressers, and then was a founding member of The Suspects in 1979. He then joined The Deserters in 1981, and released two albums, The Deserters and Siberian Nightlife.

Drummer Chris Steffler, who had worked with MacLean in Toronto bands The Next and The Suspects, recruited MacLean to join Platinum Blonde. MacLean was bassist and keyboardist, and songwriter for some songs, on their 1985 album Alien Shores. He was also part of the band for Contact in 1987, and for their 1990 album Yeah Yeah Yeah, when the band was renamed The Blondes. MacLean then released two solo albums in the 1990s, without the backing of major-label financing. In 1990, his solo debut Don't Look Back was released on a new label, Justin, and it won him a SOCAN Award for songwriting, as well as a Juno Award nomination for Most Promising Male Vocalist in 1991.

In 2006, MacLean spent time in Saint John, New Brunswick, working as a teacher at the city's new Atlantica School of Music and Film. MacLean created the music company hMh Music, and was its artistic director. An academy officially opened in Toronto on September 2, 2008, and featured programs such as audio engineering and DJ arts.

MacLean had a big influence in getting Platinum Blonde back together after a 20-year absence, but he wouldn't live to see it come to fruition. MacLean had commented to Platinum Blonde's lead singer Mark Holmes "hundreds of times" that Platinum Blonde should re-unite. Holmes once quoted MacLean as saying, "Let’s get back together. Music doesn't have any rock stars anymore." In November 2008, Holmes took up MacLean's long-standing offer to make a guest appearance at one of his shows at the Mod Club in Toronto, a club founded by Holmes, and they performed a collection of Platinum Blonde hits.

MacLean died of a heart related problem on November 24, 2008, after performing at the Mod Club the night before. His body was found by his sister, and recording artist Brock Burford. His third solo CD, Completely, was released at a concert three days before his death.

Ebeltoft Municipality

Until 1 January 2007, Ebeltoft municipality was a municipality (Danish, kommune) in Aarhus County on the east coast of the Jutland peninsula in central Denmark. The region lies in a geographic region known as southern Djursland, and more specifically Mols. The municipality covered an area of 276 km2, and had a total population of 14.997 (2003). Its last mayor was Jørgen Brøgger. The main town and the site of its municipal council was the town of Ebeltoft.

Ebeltoft municipality ceased to exist as the result of Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007). It was merged with existing Midtdjurs, Rosenholm, and Rønde municipalities to form the new Syddjurs municipality. This created a municipality with an area of 693 km2 and a total population of 40,196 (2005). The new municipality belongs to Region Midtjylland ("Mid-Jutland Region").

Facts about the former municipality
The municipality itself consisted of two smaller peninsulas that jut out into the surrounding waters, one to the south, and the other to the west. The southward peninsula, which contains the town of Ebeltoft, is surrounded on the east by Hjelm Deep, which separates the area from the small island of Hjelm off its eastern coast. To the west of this peninsula is Ebeltoft Cove (Ebeltoft Vig) which forms a bay between the southward peninsula and the headland formed to the south of the westward peninsula, Helge Headland (Helgenæs). To the west of Helge Headland is Aarhus Bay (Aarhus Bugt). To the northwest of the westward peninsula is Knebel Cove (Knebel Vig) and Kalø Cove (Kalø Vig).

The municipality also was home to Lake Stubbe (Stubbe Sø) and several high elevations. The high hilly moraine landscape is called Mols Bjerge (*Mols Hills*), and is a protected as Mols Bjerge National Park. Some of the highest elevations in the area are Agri Bavnehøj at 137 meters, Trehøje at 127 meters, and Stabelhøjene at 135 and 133 meters in height. The area has many burial mounds, stone monuments and graves, including Porskær Stenhus, Denmark's largest stone burial chamber near the town of Knebel. Porskær Stenhus is over 2,000 years old.

The municipality was created in 1970 due to a kommunalreform ("Municipality Reform") that combined the following parishes: Agri, Dråby, Ebeltoft, Egens, Fuglslev, Helgenæs, Hyllested, Knebel, Rolsø, Rosmus, Tirstrup, Tved, and Vistoft parishes.

The area known as Mols
Mols is an area in the southern part of Djursland on Jutland's east coast with Ebeltoft as its main city. The residents of this area are known as Molboere ("Mols residents"). There have been written many fictional accounts of the stupidity of these people, referred to as Molbohistorier ("Stories of the Mols residents").

The town of Ebeltoft
Ebeltoft was granted its municipal charter in 1301. The town is very picturesque, and has many well-preserved half-timbered houses and cobbled streets.

Among the town's highlights are the Frigate Jylland (Fregatten Jylland), the Ebeltoft Zoo, the Ebeltoft Museum, and the Glasmuseet Ebeltoft (Ebeltoft Glass Museum).
 * The Frigate Jylland was launched in 1860, and served as both royal yacht and battleship before it was reduced to a barracks ship in 1892. The ship has had a 10-year restoration.
 * The Glass Museum houses a large collection of contemporary glass from all over the world.

Other attractions

 * Sletterhage Lighthouse at the southernmost point on Helgenæs
 * Kalø Castle ruins (Kalø Slotsruin)

Mike Walker (Welsh footballer)

Michael Stewart Gordon Walker (born 28 November 1945) is a Welsh former footballer and manager. After starting his career at Reading, Walker played as a goalkeeper in the Football League for five clubs, most notably Watford and Colchester United. He later managed Colchester, Norwich City, Everton and APOEL. In 2010, he was inducted into the Colchester United Football Club Hall of Fame.

Walker represented Wales at under-23 level on four occasions. His son Ian, also a goalkeeper, later played for England's senior team.

Playing career
Colwyn Bay-born Walker started his playing career as a goalkeeper with Reading in January 1963. He joined Shrewsbury Town in June 1964 and also played for York City, Watford, Charlton Athletic and most notably Colchester United, for whom he made 363 league appearances. Perhaps the most memorable moment in Walker's playing career came when lower division Watford knocked Bill Shankly's Liverpool out of the FA Cup in February 1970, in what was considered to be a major cup upset and a result, and which convinced Shankly of the need to dismantle his ageing side and begin building a new team.

Walker was inducted into the Colchester United Hall of Fame in the 2009–10 season, in recognition for his service to the club as a player and manager. Also inducted that season was Walker's former Watford and Colchester teammate Mick Packer.

Managerial career
Walker had a brief spell in charge of Colchester United in 1986 but was sacked in 1987 whilst top of the league. He then took charge of the Norwich City reserve team in 1987. On 1 June 1992, he was promoted to the position of manager at Carrow Road and gave Norwich their highest-ever league finish in the new FA Premier League where they finished third and qualified for the 1993/94 UEFA Cup — the first time they had qualified for European competition (Norwich had technically qualified three times for the UEFA Cup, but were unable to enter due to the ban on English clubs imposed after the 1985 Heysel Disaster). Norwich achieved a famous victory over FC Bayern Munich in the UEFA Cup Second Round before being knocked out by the eventual winners, Internazionale. Due to his notable achievements at a relatively small club such as Norwich, Walker was felt by many commentators at this time to be one of the most promising new managers in English football, and he was praised for the positive, attack-minded passing game played by his Norwich side.

Walker quit Norwich in January 1994, following a long running feud with Chairman Robert Chase (mainly centring on Chase's habit of selling off the club's key players without consulting his manager first - for example Robert Fleck to Chelsea just after Walker's appointment), to become manager of Everton, with Everton having to pay substantial compensation to Norwich to secure his services. Walker failed, however, to meet the high expectations of a bigger club. Although Walker oversaw an extraordinary last day escape from relegation with Everton securing a 3–2 home victory over Wimbledon (Everton had been 2-0 down, and 2-1 down at half time), Everton made a disastrous start to the 1994/95 season, failing to win a single league game until November. With Everton bottom of the table and having made their worst start to a league season, Walker was sacked having spent just ten months in charge and recording only six league wins, leaving him with the worst record of any post-war Everton manager. Walker was nicknamed the 'Silver Fox' during his time at Goodison. However, there were a few positive aspects of his reign at the club. They included the signing of Anders Limpar in March 1994, the gamble on Daniel Amokachi and the decision to bring the controversial Rangers striker Duncan Ferguson to Everton on loan, a gamble which ultimately paid off after Walker's departure with Joe Royle signing the Scot on a permanent basis.

After Walker's dismissal, Everton went on that season not only to avoid relegation, but also to win the FA Cup under Royle.

Walker did not return to football until taking over again at Norwich on 21 June 1996, by which time the Canaries had been relegated to Division One. He remained in charge for two seasons but was sacked as manager after they failed to return to the Premiership. Since leaving Norwich, Walker has had a spell managing APOEL in Cyprus, where he resides to this day.

Personal life
Walker is the father of Ian Walker, former England goalkeeper. He also has a son and a daughter. His wife and the mother of his children, Jacqueline "Jackie" Walker, died on 3 November 1997 after a long battle against cancer.

Talk:Kaffeklubben Island

Greenland?
So is this not considered part of Greenland? The Geography of Greenland article lists Cape Morris Jesup as it's most northern point. Who controls/owns Kaffeklubben? - Taxman Talk 12:30, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * I suppose the Geography of Greenland article only refers to the Greenlandic mainland; that is, the island of Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat) itself. Maybe the Geography of Greenland article should be changed so that offshore islands are also included? As far as I'm aware, Kaffeklubben (Coffee Club) Island is Greenlandic territory. I'll edit the Geography of Greenland article to reflect this. --Andrew 12:05, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok, that makes sense. It could note Cap Morris Jesup as the northern point of the main island, and this as the most northern island in the territory controlled by Greenland. Thanks - Taxman Talk 13:35, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

From one who stood on that island
An e-mail was received from Ms. Lonnie Dupre, who stood on the island in 2006. It read:

''The island is only 100 yards wide and 300 long. The island has three separate high spots or knolls. Each one has a 3 foot to four foot rock cairn located on it. The so called islands (Oodaaq...) out from kaffeklubben are not islands at all but shallow gravel bars that are moved around by drifting sea ice.''

Undisputed northernmost point on land VS Northernmost undisputed point on land

"Undisputed nothernmost point on land" = "Everyone agrees that it's the northernmost point on land"

"Northernmost undisputed point on land" = "It's the northernmost bit of land that everyone agrees is land, but there may be points further north where there is disagreement over whether they also should count as land"

- This seems to be what's going on here.

USS Preble (1839)

USS Preble was a United States Navy sloop-of-war with 16 guns, built by the Portsmouth Navy Yard, Kittery, Maine, launched June 13, 1839 and commissioned in 1840. She was named after Commodore Edward Preble (1761–1807).

Early Service
Preble first sailed for Labrador, and then went to cruise in the Mediterranean Sea in 1843. She was attached to the African Squadron in 1845. In 1846, Preble sailed for New York and joined the Pacific Squadron on the West Coast of the United States, where she participated in the Mexican–American War.

Sail to East Asia
In 1848, Captain James Glynn took her first to Hong Kong and then to Nagasaki, Japan, where she picked up some fourteen American and Hawaiian seamen who had become castaways in that "closed country".

In November 1850, she returned to the east coast of the United States, where she became a practice ship for midshipmen until 1857, when she was placed in ordinary service.

Civil War Service
During the American Civil War, in July 1861, Preble joined the Gulf Blockading Squadron and participated to the blockade of the Mississippi River. She was posted at Head of the Passes on the Mississippi River on 12 October 1861 when the blockading squadron there was attacked by a Confederate States Navy force that included the first ironclad warship, CSS Manassas. Being a sail-powered ship, she did not join the battle but rather made a swift retreat out the Southwest Pass to safety in the Gulf of Mexico.

Preble was serving as a guard ship when, on 27 April 1863, while moored in Pensacola Bay off Pensacola, Florida, she caught fire due to the carelessness of a crewman. She was abandoned and exploded.

Mike Walker (columnist)

Mike Walker (January 16, 1946 – February 16, 2018) was an American radio personality and gossip columnist for The National Enquirer, and hosted the magazine's 1999–2001 MGM-produced newsmagazine, National Enquirer TV. He was also the author of the 2005 book, Rather Dumb: A Top Tabloid Reporter Tells CBS How to Do News.

Between April 11, 1996 and December 2010, Walker was a guest every week on The Howard Stern Show to play "The Gossip Game." He would read four gossip stories, and the Stern crew guessed which one is false.

Walker co-wrote with Faye Resnick the #1 New York Times best-selling book about the O.J. Simpson murder trial, Nicole Brown Simpson: Private Diary of a Life Interrupted (1994) (which as of October 1995, had reportedly sold 550,000 copies). It debuted at #1 on the non-fiction side of the Times Best Seller list on November 6, 1994.

Walker had a weekly radio show on KABC, Los Angeles, California.

Walker grew up in Boston and started working for the Enquirer in 1970.

On February 16, 2018, self-styled writer and TV personality A. J. Benza tweeted that Walker had died.

Talk:List of Australia national cricket captains

FL status?
It strikes me that this page isn't far off meeting the criteria in What is a featured list? It would be nice to improve it up to the required standard and get it featured status. I'll make some improvements myself, it would be good to have other contributions too, jguk 12:35, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The list of one-day captains is a bit misleading. The order of Border, Bright, Marsh, Taylor, implies that Allan Border was suceeded by Ray Bright, who was suceeded by Geoff Marsh. Whereas Border (as indicated by the number of games), was the full time captain during that time, with Bright and Marsh replacing him due to injury. I'm not sure how this could be changed (you could have Border Bright, Border, Marsh, Border, Taylor), but it does seem odd that on Allan Border's page it states that his successor as ODI captain was Ray Bright.

 * Maybe the list of one day captains could be re-done similar to some other lists where people have held positions multiple times (e.g. Prime Minister of Australia) GK1 17:55, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Opposition Australia
Some of the series in the Test captains list say that the opposition was Australia! (e.g. Don Bradman 1948) How can someone captain Australia against Australia? GK1 17:39, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Some typos had sneaked in. Fixed now hopefully. Sam Vimes | Address me 17:41, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Article
This is a fabulous article. Congratulations!!ROxBo (talk) 12:41, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

List name
Per WP:LISTNAME, list titles should begin with "List of". Since this is a guideline and there is no common-sense reason to ignore it, I don't see why this guideline should be ignored. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:05, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

See Featured lists for a list of out best lists, which all follow this guideline. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:08, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * There are plenty of common-sense reasons to ignore it, the main reason being that "List of:" is redundant in this case. The article is quite clearly a list and WP:NAME says (in a nutshell) "Titles should be brief without being ambiguous." and "Titles should make linking to the article simple". Adding the meaningless "List of" in this case does not achieve either of those aims. The slavish following of guidelines without consideration of their context and spirit is counter-productive to the aim of developing an encyclopedia; Wikipedia is not a nomic where following the rules is more important than the outcome.

 * This article was also at one stage a featured list without the redundant "List of" appendage. -- Mattinbgn\talk 00:15, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * This is a guideline supported by consensus, I would suggest bringing it up at the guideline's talk page first. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:18, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * BTW, there are several places where this consensus has been demonstrated: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Basketball_Association/Archive_10, Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Baseball/Archive_11, and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Football_League/Archive_8, to name a few. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:21, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * This quote in the NBA discussion seem relevant "Personally, I don't go a lot for "list of" titles, since you can pretty much see that immediately." However, I don't agree with his follow up "But if it's in the MOS, then I will accept it blindly (ahem)" Why blindly accept something that makes the encyclopedia less user-friendly? LISTNAME says "The name or title of the list should simply be List of ..."; should is not must. -- Mattinbgn\talk 00:26, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Again, I don't mind at all if you start a discussion for change at the guideline page. Personally, I believe that Wikipedia consensus and guidelines trumps WikiProject status quos. I don't see a reason to be inconsistent between article types. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:29, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Very few Wikipedia guidelines will say "must", it's part of the Wikipedia culture. Let's wait for more opinions. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:31, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

I'd prefer the more truncated wording, but it dosn't make any any real difference to substance really  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) 00:44, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Project Genoa

Project Genoa was a software project commissioned by the United States' DARPA which was designed to analyze large amounts of data and metadata to help human analysts counter terrorism.

Program synopsis
Genoa's primary function was intelligence analysis in order to assist human analysts.

The program was designed to support both top-down and bottom-up approaches; a policy maker could hypothesize a possible attack and use Genoa to look for supporting evidence of such a plot, or it would compile pieces of intelligence into a diagram and suggest possible outcomes. Human analysts would then be able to modify the diagram to test various cases.

Companies such as Integral Visuals, Saffron Technology, and Syntek Technologies were involved in Genoa's development. It cost a total of $42 million to complete the program.

History
Genoa was conceived in late 1995 by retired Rear Admiral John Poindexter, a chief player in the Iran-Contra Affair. At the time, Poindexter was working at Syntek, a company often contracted to do work for the Department of Defense. He proposed a computer system that would help humans crunch large amounts of data in order to more effectively predict potential national security threats. Poindexter brought his ideas to former colleagues working with the United States National Security Council.

That year, a team of researchers was assembled for the project and began studying various historical events to which Genoa could be applied. The Tokyo subway sarin attack in March was the primary focus. Instead of analyzing the attack itself, the researchers looked into the history of Aum Shinrikyo, the group that perpetrated the attack, to find evidence that could have suggested their intentions.

In order to pitch their ideas, the researchers set up a mock crisis command center in DARPA's main building, full of monitors staffed by actors. An audience would watch as a fictitious scenario would unfold before them, guided along by an animated video segment. Poindexter called the presentation "A Day in the Life of an Analyst." Another mock center was set up near the DARPA building with the help of a Hollywood set designer to serve the same purpose. Prominent viewers of the exhibition included Richard A. Clarke, John Michael McConnell, and James R. Clapper.

Genoa was commissioned in 1996 for development overseen by DARPA and completed in the 2002 fiscal year, becoming a component of the Total Information Awareness program. It was concluded that while Genoa helped officials better understand complex situations, it operated at a slow speed. The research initiated by the project was continued in its immediate follow-on program, Genoa II. One of the goals of this successor was to increase the speed of analyses. The program was actively utilized by the Defense Intelligence Agency.

Feghoot

A feghoot (also known as a story pun or poetic story joke) is a humorous short story or vignette ending in a pun (typically a play on a well-known phrase), where the story contains sufficient context to recognize the punning humor.

Ferdinand Feghoot
The term for this storytelling model originated in a long-running series of short science-fiction pieces that appeared under the collective title "Through Time and Space with Ferdinand Feghoot", published in various magazines over several decades, written by Reginald Bretnor under the anagrammatic pseudonym of 'Grendel Briarton'. The usual formula the stories followed was for the title character to solve a problem bedeviling some manner of being or extricate himself from a dangerous situation. The events could take place all over the galaxy and in various historical or future periods on Earth and elsewhere. In his adventures, Feghoot worked for the Society for the Aesthetic Re-Arrangement of History and traveled via a device that had no name, but was typographically represented as the ")(". The pieces were usually vignettes only a few paragraphs long, and always ended with a long and elegant pun that was often based on a well-known title or catch-phrase.

"Through Time and Space with Ferdinand Feghoot" was originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction from 1956 to 1973. In 1973, the magazine ran a contest soliciting readers' feghoots as entries. The series also appeared in Fantasy and Science Fiction's sister magazine Venture Science Fiction Magazine, and later in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, Amazing Stories, and other publications. The individual pieces were identified by Roman numerals rather than titles. The stories have been collected in several editions, each an expanded version of the previous, the most recent being The Collected Feghoot from Pulphouse Publishing.

Many of the ideas and puns for Bretnor's stories were contributed by others, including F. M. Busby and E. Nelson Bridwell. Other authors have published feghoots written on their own, including Isaac Asimov and John Brunner. Numerous fan-produced stories have been written, as well.

Bretnor said that the idea of the name occurred to his wife and him during a game of Scrabble. He always arranged his letter tiles alphabetically; at one point, he had EFGHOOT. His wife suggested that, if the first two letters were transposed, the silly name 'Feghoot' could be formed. Bretnor did so, and began using the name in his punny stories.

Other story puns

 * Myles na gCopaleen's column "Cruiskeen Lawn" in the Irish Times regularly featured feghoots, generally recounted as episodes in the lives of (fictionalised versions of) John Keats and George Chapman.
 * The "Peabody's Improbable History" and "Aesop & Son" segments on Rocky and Bullwinkle were animated feghoots, right down to the pun at the end of each episode. "Fractured Fairy Tales" often were too.
 * In 1962, Amazing Stories published "Through Time and Space with Benedict Breadfruit" by Grandall Barretton (Randall Garrett), which all ended in a pun on the name of a famous science-fiction writer. Bretnor later paid tribute to these stories in one of his own, in which Ferdinand Feghoot assures a friend that Breadfruit was "conceived in our Garrett".
 * One example of a feghoot is the "Forty million Frenchmen" gag ("For DeMille, young fur-henchmen...") on page 559 of Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow.
 * The Callahan's Bar series by Spider Robinson uses "some of the worst puns known to man.... building up to the anticipated pun with skill and flair."
 * Isaac Asimov used the song "Give My Regards to Broadway" to form an elaborate story pun in his short story "Death of a Foy". He uses the "Marseillaise" in the short story "Battle-Hymn" for the same effect. His short story "A Loint of Paw" ends with the one-sentence judicial verdict "A niche in time saves Stein." His story "Shah Guido G" ends with aviators landing on a floating sky city named Atlantis and it plummeting to its doom: "Why, once more in history, Atlantis sank beneath the Waves."
 * Arthur C. Clarke's short story "Neutron Tide" culminates with a pun.
 * Andrzej Sapkowski's short story "The Edge of the World" of The Witcher series (later included in The Last Wish) culminates with a pun, as the protagonist's friend, a bard, is looking for a proper title for his ballad about the recent encounter with a devil-like being, who then says "goodnight" (corresponding to the Polish idiom "where the devil says goodnight" used for remote and dangerous places).
 * One version of the story of Little Bunny Foo Foo is a feghoot.
 * Each episode of the long-running BBC radio panel game My Word! ended with extemporaneous feghoots from Frank Muir and Denis Norden.
 * Comic-strip writer Stephan Pastis often includes feghoots in his strip Pearls Before Swine.
 * Humorist S. J. Perelman often contrived elaborate feghoots. His piece "Abby, This Is Your Father" in Crazy Like a Fox (New York: Random House, 1944) is built around a series of them.
 * On the US version of the television show Whose Line Is It, Anyway?, Colin Mochrie often opened the "Weird Newscasters" game with a feghoot.
 * The film The Hudsucker Proxy could arguably be considered a feghoot, as the film ends with a pun relating to the climax of the film.
 * Comedian Norm Macdonald frequently told feghoots as part of his comedy style.
 * The "Misty's Bedtime Stories" segment on Hee-Haw was a feghoot.

Mizar

Mizar is a second-magnitude star in the handle of the Big Dipper asterism in the constellation of Ursa Major. It has the Bayer designation ζ Ursae Majoris (Latinised as Zeta Ursae Majoris). It forms a well-known naked eye double star with the fainter star Alcor, and is itself a quadruple star system. The Mizar and Alcor system lies about 83 light-years away from the Sun, as measured by the Hipparcos astrometry satellite, and is part of the Ursa Major Moving Group.

Nomenclature
ζ Ursae Majoris (Latinised to Zeta Ursae Majoris and abbreviated to ζ UMa or Zeta UMa) is Mizar's Bayer designation. It also has the Flamsteed designation 79 Ursae Majoris.

The traditional name Mizar derives from the Arabic المئزر  meaning 'apron; wrapper, covering, cover'. In 2016, the International Astronomical Union organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN's first bulletin of July 2016 included a table of the first two batches of names approved by the WGSN; which included Mizar for ζ UMa. According to IAU rules, the name Mizar strictly only applies to component Aa, although it is traditionally and popularly used for all four stars making up the single naked-eye star.

Stellar system
Mizar is a visual double with a separation of 14.4 arcseconds, each of which is a spectroscopic binary. Its combined apparent magnitude is 2.04. The two visible stars are referred to as ζ1 and ζ2 Ursae Majoris, or Mizar A and B. The spectroscopic components are generally referred to as Mizar Aa, Ab, Ba, and Bb. The stars all share a single Hipparcos designation of HIP 65378, but separate Bright Star Catalogue and Henry Draper Catalogue entries. Mizar, together with Alcor and many of the other bright stars in Ursa Major, is a member of the Ursa Major Moving Group.

An easily split visual target, Mizar was the first telescopic binary discovered, most probably by Benedetto Castelli who in 1617 asked Galileo Galilei to observe it. Galileo then produced a detailed record of the double star. Later, around 1650, Riccioli wrote of Mizar appearing as a double. The secondary star (Mizar B) comes within 380 AU of the primary (Mizar A) and the two take thousands of years to revolve around each other.

Mizar A was the first spectroscopic binary to be discovered, as part of Antonia Maury's spectral classification work, and an orbit was published in 1890. Some spectroscopic binaries cannot be visually resolved and are discovered by studying the spectral lines of the suspect system over a long period of time. The two components of Mizar A are both about 35 times as bright as the Sun, and revolve around each other in about 20 days 12 hours and 55 minutes. In 1908, Mizar B was also found to be a spectroscopic binary, its components completing an orbital period every six months. In 1996, 107 years after their discovery, the components of the Mizar A binary system were imaged in extremely high resolution using the Navy Prototype Optical Interferometer.

ζ1 Ursae Majoris
The two components of ζ1 Ursae Majoris (Mizar Aa and Ab) are observed to be identical, with the exception of slightly different radial velocity variations which indicate very slightly different masses.

The spectral lines of the two stars can be observed separately and both are given a spectral type of A2Vp. They are Ap stars, chemically peculiar due to stratification of some heavy elements in the photosphere of slowly-rotating hot stars. In this case, they show elevated abundances of strontium and silicon.

With the assumption of identical physical properties for the two stars, they both have temperatures of 9,000 K, radii of, and bolometric luminosities of. They are thought to be around 370 million years old.

ζ2 Ursae Majoris
ζ2 Ursae Majoris is a single-lined spectroscopic binary, and the visible spectrum is of an Am star, named for their unusually strong lines of some metals. The spectral type of kA1h(eA)mA7IV-V is in a form used for metallic-lined stars: the type is A1 based on the calcium K lines, early A based on the hydrogen lines, and A7 based on lines of other metals. The luminosity class is ranked between main sequence and subgiant.

Based on the orbital properties of the system, the total mass of the two stars is approximately 2.1 solar masses, most of which is contributed by the primary star.

Other names
Mizar is known as Vashistha, one of the Saptarishi, in traditional Indian astronomy.

Chinese Taoism personifies ζ Ursae Majoris as the Lu star.

In Chinese, 北斗 (Běi Dǒu), meaning Northern Dipper, refers to an asterism equivalent to the Big Dipper. Consequently, the Chinese name for ζ Ursae Majoris itself is 北斗六 Běi Dǒu liù, (the Sixth Star of Northern Dipper) and 開陽 Kāi Yáng, (Star of The Opener of Heat).

In the Mi'kmaq myth of the great bear and the seven hunters, Mizar is Chickadee and Alcor is his cooking pot.

Military namesakes

 * USS Mizar is a cargo and passenger liner converted to a United States Navy ship
 * USNS Mizar, a United States Navy ship

In popular culture
The band Steely Dan references Mizar in their song "Sign In Stranger" from their album The Royal Scam.

Mizar is the home system of a race of friendly, spherical aliens contacted by the Earth ship Stardust in the 1971 science fiction short story "The Bear With the Knot on His Tail" by Stephen Tall.

Grenaa Municipality

Until 1 January 2007, Grenaa municipality or Grenå municipality was a municipality (Danish, kommune) in Aarhus County on the east coast of the Jutland peninsula in central Denmark. The municipality covered an area of 196 km2, and had a total population of 18,641 (2005). Its last mayor was Gert Schou, a member of the Social Democrats (Socialdemokraterne) political party. The municipality's main city and the site of its municipal council was the town of Grenaa. The municipality was located on the east coast of the peninsula known as Djursland, with the waters of the Kattegat to the east, defining the municipality's eastern border.

Grenaa municipality ceased to exist due to Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007). It was combined with Nørre Djurs and Rougsø municipalities, along with the eastern part of Sønderhald municipality to form the new Norddjurs municipality. This created a municipality with an area of 661 km2 and a total population of 34,382 (2005). The new municipality belongs to Region Midtjylland ("Mid-Jutland Region").

Talk:Southern Lithuania

Hmmm, the history section is seriously underrepresented here. Similarily to other articles on Lithuanian post-WWI claims, after reading it I still know nothing of what actually was this Southern Lithuania. Was it a Lithuanian claim? Or a unit of administrative division? If so, then of what state? This article needs both cleanup and details - badly!

Also, the geographical part of it is... well... I could understand it, but to a reader unaccustomed with the topic it would completely uninformative, I'm afraid. Finally, the author mentioned that the region had a good railroad network - in this I seriously doubt. The region has bad railroad net even now (even by Polish or Belarusian standards), and the railroad net in 1920, during the PBW, was no better. Does the author suggest that the situation was different in 1918?

All in all, I'm adding a cleanup and attention tags. Perhaps someone could spend an hour or two to improve this article. Halibutt 12:41, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

It is about administrative unit of Lithuanian Province (one of three such units, others being Vilnius government precinct and Kaunas government precinct (one map of this province is also the map of Lithuania in 1918 you used once to draw maps on supposed claims)), as the map at the bottom of article shows. The map also shows borders of the government precincts and such; the map is not the best but anyone is welcome to draw the better one. As for description of borders in words, I guess it is impossible to describe it well enough for an outsider anyways. Lithuanian province was established in 1918 July in part of Oberost territories by Germans. History section currently is only about aftermath of WW1 and the fate of this territory (the northern half, north of Nemunas, according to 1920 Lithuanian-Russian peace treaty, left to be claimed as part of Vilnius region, while the southern part (including capital Balstogė) not claimed by Lithuania). The reason why the history of establishment is not written is because I don't know if Southern Lithuania existed as a subdivision of Oberost prior to the creation of Lithuanian Province, or if it was created at the same time as Lithuanian Province. As for railroad network, I based this on the fact that I have a hsitorical map and it shows a denser railroad network in the territory than in other two government precincts. It might be so that part of railways were destroyed in WW2 or demontated later (narrow gauge), but if you know for sure taht in 1920 situation was bad then you can delete that sentence. This is not' and article about claim by the way, but about administrative unit (which actually existed during World War 1, it was created by Germans, that is why German name "Litauen Sud" is given too; after WW1 the unit was abolished and in history section it says what was the fate of the territory of Southern Lithuania government precinct). This is stated in article itself too. DeirYassin 13:06, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * After your recent edits I added the tag. To remove it we should:
 * find a proof that the area of the Ober-Ost was indeed to be transfered to Lithuania and not to Belarus (as planned by the Germans) or to Poland (as it eventually was)
 * find a proof that the unit of administrative division of German military administration was indeed some quasi-Lithuanian state and that Lithuanian was one of its state languages
 * that there was some government established there and not simply the administration
 * As to the railroad net - there were two major lines in the area back then: one linking Warsaw with Moscow and the other one linking Warsaw with Petersburg. Even now the railroad net is underdeveloped there. Especially that the Russian Empire was way behind such states as Prussia or Austria-Hungary in railway construction. In Poland in every single train there is a railroad map and you can very precisely draw the borders between the partitions. While I couldn't find this map anywhere in the web, there's a similar map of major lines only (, other map ), which also gives the hint as to the general idea. And the map reports the situation some 85 years after the partitions ended... All in all, I find the remark about the dense railroad absolutely incredible. Halibutt 06:18, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

What I know is that Lithuanian Province was established in the area in July 1918 which included these three government precincts. I don't know the real plans of Germans at the time. You can change government to administration if you can't find proof, I am not sure here either, I just mixed myself because of my not great English (I tend to call any ruling body "government"). As for state language, I don't know for sure (and it is not written that state langauge was Lithuanian in the article now), but on the map in question Lithuanian is used together with German and it is also explained that German names of some smaller towns were changes from being direct translations of Polish names to being direct translations of Lithuanian names (in Lithuanian speaking areas of Lithuanian Province). Also, Lithuanian names ar egiven together to German only for cities of Lithuanian Province, and not for example Lithuania Minor (e.g. there is no Lithuanian name for Memel), so it is not just Lithuanian map or such - yet at the same time Lithuanian names are given to cities in Lithuanian province which did not speak Lithuanian, such as Bialystok, and no Belarussian or Polish names are given anywhere. Maybe Germans tried to get Lithuanian patriots on their side. Anyways, I guess that is not enough proove, maybe there weren't official languages at all, therefore it is not stated that there were. But I think it is a prove that Lithuanian was used together with German at least for geography - maps, city names and such; that is why both names are used now separated by slash. As for railway network, you can remove the line - the networks seems to have more railways than ones which you amed, but yes, it is muuch scarcer than say East Prussian one. DeirYassin 07:09, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I wouldn't trust the maps too much, see this thingie for instance :) Anyway, I asked User:Dirgela for help, maybe he'll be able to clarify a bit. Halibutt 13:03, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

 * Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the German name of Litauen Sud be translated rather as Lithuania South or even hyphenated to Lithuania-South? Halibutt 11:16, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * As I said, I do not speak German, but that map has both German and Lithuanian inscriptions, Lithuanian was "Pietinė Lietuva", which means Southern Lithuania. As for maps, map of Belorussian National Republic I think shows it's claims and claims are a historical thing too. DeirYassin 13:55, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * And here's the point: you can never be sure which map shows the claims and which shows the actual state of affairs. Pre-WWII Lithuanian maps are quite a good example. Halibutt 14:34, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, this map also had an explaination; I saw an exactly similar map in the place you gave me a link to, Lietuvos sritis is mentioned there too. Sritis means more or less the same as province; as explaination near the map in book confirms, it was a province estabilished by Germans in 1918 July in part of Ober Ost territories. Explaination is not on the map by the way, it is at the other page of map and written in book itself as a comment of map. If someone else knows more or has more documents on this matter, he/she is able to add more information. DeirYassin 15:25, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I question the supposed German form of Litauen Sud. First, German for "south" is Süd, not Sud. Second, the normal German would be Südlitauen. Litauen-Süd seems very strange -- does anyone have a source for this? LuiKhuntek 04:07, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Disputed tag
I have removed the disputed tag from the article as there appears to be no dispute going on concerning the article. The only major problem I see with the article at the moment is that none of the information is cited, leaving it unverifiable. Wikiped is based off of verifiability, so if someone could provide sources for the information in the article, it would help very much. Cowman109 Talk 01:56, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Hadsten Municipality

Until 1 January 2007 Hadsten municipality was a municipality (Danish, kommune) in Aarhus County on the Jutland peninsula in central Denmark. The municipality covered an area of 139 km², and had a total population of 11.818 (2005). Its last mayor was Anders G. Christensen, a member of the Venstre (Liberal Party) political party. The main town and site of its municipal council was Hadsten.

The Little River (Lilleå) runs through the former municipality, and through the center of the town of Hadsten.

Hadsten municipality ceased to exist due to Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007). It was merged with Hammel, Hinnerup, and Hvorslev municipalities, as well as the southern part of Langå municipality to form the new Favrskov municipality. This created a municipality with an area of 487 km² and a total population of ca. 41,596 (2005). The new municipality belongs to Region Midtjylland ("Mid-Jutland Region").

Constructions

 * Hadsten Transmitter, one of the tallest towers in Denmark.

The Dancers at the End of Time

The Dancers at the End of Time is a series of science fiction novels and short stories written by Michael Moorcock, the setting of which is the End of Time, an era "where entropy is king and the universe has begun collapsing upon itself". The inhabitants of this era are immortal decadents, who create flights of fancy via the use of power rings that draw on energy devised and stored by their ancestors millions of years prior. Time travel is possible, and throughout the series various points in time are visited and revisited. Space travellers are also common, but most residents of the End of Time find leaving the planet distasteful and clichéd. The title of the series is itself taken from a poem by a fictitious 19th-century poet, Ernest Wheldrake, which Mrs. Amelia Underwood quotes in The End of All Songs. "Ernest Wheldrake" had been a pseudonym used by Algernon Charles Swinburne.

The original trilogy (An Alien Heat, The Hollow Lands, and The End of All Songs) was published between 1972 and 1976. The trilogy purports to tell the last love story in human history. Other stories in this sequence include The Transformation of Miss Mavis Ming (also known as A Messiah at the End of Time) which is a rewrite of the novella Constant Fire. Several short stories, some of which were included in the collection Legends from the End of Time, were published in New Worlds 7–10 (the paperback revival of the magazine). Short stories featuring Elric ("Elric at the End of Time"), and Jerry Cornelius ("The Murderer's Song") also feature characters and places from the End of Time.

Main characters in the series include Jherek Carnelian, one of the few humans at the End of Time to have been born naturally, rather than created; Mrs Amelia Underwood, a time traveller from the late 19th century; the enigmatic Lord Jagged; and Miss Mavis Ming in the eponymous The Transformation of Miss Mavis Ming, which also features the Fireclown. The 1993 Millennium omnibus edition of Legends from the End of Time ostensibly assembles all the stories and The Transformation of Miss Mavis Ming – under the title Constant Fire – but was affected by severe printing errors and omits the final six lines of Elric at the End of Time and all but the final chapter of Constant Fire. These were corrected for the 1997 Orion edition.

The End of Time
The prologue of An Alien Heat calls it "a story of Jherek Carnelian, who did not know the meaning of morality, and Mrs. Amelia Underwood, who knew everything about it". The novel begins with a discussion between Jherek Carnelian and his mother, the Iron Orchid, about the meaning of the word virtuous. Carnelian, who has looked the word up in an ancient dictionary, finds the concept "bewildering".

Jherek meets his future love, Amelia Underwood, at an extravagant party hosted by the Duke of Queens, the theme of which is "disaster". The Duke of Queens intends the centerpiece of this entertainment to be an alien, Yusharisp, who tries to warn them that the universe will soon end; the people merely find this boring, and the entertainment falls flat. My Lady Charlotina freezes Yusharisp for transport to her menagerie. Jherek is delighted when Mrs. Amelia Underwood reacts to this by exclaiming "Let the poor creature go! Though he is neither human nor Christian, he is still one of God's creatures and has a right to his liberty!"

An example of how lightly sex, including incest and homosexuality, is treated at the End of Time can be found in the early chapters of An Alien Heat. In the chapter "A Conversation with the Iron Orchid" Jherek has sex with his mother, and in the chapter "Carnelian Conceives a New Affectation" he has a same-sex encounter with Lord Jagged. Likewise, in Legends from the End of Time, the Iron Orchid makes love to My Lady Charlotina. When Jherek decides to fall in love with Mrs. Underwood to the exclusion of everyone else, everyone applauds his original thinking.

Landscape
The landscapes at the End of Time are almost entirely artificial or illusory, created by the inhabitants and constantly being altered. In the first chapter of An Alien Heat, the Iron Orchid and Jherek Carnelian awaken after the picnic they have created to find that the sea has been turned a shade of cerise, and the cliff with two palm trees that had previously been behind them had been replaced by a twelve-storey silver pagoda. Beneath the decoration, however, the Earth is a sterile wasteland lit by a dim red sun.

In the short story "Elric at the End of Time" the inhabitants of the end of time attempt to entertain Elric of Melniboné (and amuse themselves) by creating an adventure to keep Elric occupied. Elric is no stranger to chaos and is completely convinced that he has in fact been transported to a realm of chaos. This is largely due to the unexpected, bizarre (and often instantaneous) changes which his hosts make to the landscape.

An Alien Heat
The title of this volume comes from the poem "Hothouse Flowers" by Theodore Wratislaw.

An alien named Yusharisp comes to Earth to warn its remaining inhabitants that the universe is coming to an end; his own planet has already disappeared, and the Earth is sure to follow. Earth's inhabitants are unfazed as they believe him to be yet another doomsayer; the End of the Earth has been predicted for centuries. Jherek is far more interested in Mrs Amelia Underwood, a time traveller from Victorian England, as he is fascinated by the Victorian era. Jherek resolves to fall in love with her. Mrs Underwood, at first repulsed by the debauchery of the End of Time, finally comes to believe that Jherek is sincere in his affections and starts teaching him about moral values. She falls in love with him at last; as they are about to embrace, however, she is returned to her own time. Jherek, heartbroken, decides to rescue her, and travels to 19th-century London, using the time machine from Moorcock's Behold the Man.

Jherek is inexperienced to the point of naiveté about the Victorian Era, despite his interest in it, and a (temporally) local thief, Snoozer Vine, tricks him into becoming an accomplice to Snoozer's latest scam. Not surprisingly, Jherek proves to be a poor criminal, and is quickly arrested, jailed and sent to trial. To his surprise, the judge appears to be none other than his friend, Lord Jagged, but claims to be one Jagger. Jherek is sentenced to death, as the case against him is unequivocal, but he cannot understand why all the people around him are so upset; inhabitants of the End of Time are immortal, and for them death is merely transitory. Jherek is hanged, only to wake up among his friends at the End of Time, who tell him that to them, he has only been gone for a second.

The Hollow Lands
The title of this volume comes from the poem "The Last Word" by Ernest Dowson.

Reunited at the end of Time, Jherek and the other inhabitants of the End of Time have returned to their preferred amusements of parties and games. They are interrupted by a ship of alien musician/pirates, the Lat. Hunted by the Lat, Jherek stumbles into a subterranean school built centuries ago to protect the last children of that era from the tyrant director Pecking Pa the Eighth (a reference to Sam Peckinpah). The time in the school is constantly recycled by a robot nanny so old she has started to break down, and as a result is recycling the same week repeatedly. The teacher-robot mistakes Jherek for one of her children as she has forgotten that there is anything outside her school, and keeps him. When she realises her mistake, she agrees to send him back to 1896; her ability to recycle time means that she can function as a time machine.

Returned to the 19th century, Jherek heads for Bromley, where Mrs Amelia Underwood lives. On the way, Jherek meets H. G. Wells and explains that he is a time traveller, but is met only with Wells's ironic disbelief. Jherek is finally reunited with Mrs Underwood but also forced to confront her husband Mr Underwood. Mr. Underwood is so suspicious of their story that a reluctant Mrs Underwood runs away with Jherek. Chased by the police, the two are rescued by a journalist, Mr Jackson who, like Judge Jagger, bears a strong resemblance to Lord Jagged.

The police catch up with the fleeing couple, but are interrupted in their attempted arrest by the appearance of the Lat, the Iron Orchid and a number of other residents of the End of Time. Chaos ensues as the police and the Lat start fighting, and the fabric of time itself begins disintegrating. The time travellers start vanishing, and Jackson, who finally reveals himself to be Lord Jagged (also Judge Jagger), takes Jherek and Mrs Underwood to a time machine that will take them to the End of Time. The machine appears to malfunction; instead of delivering them to the End of Time, it maroons them in what appears to be the Lower Devonian period.

The End of All Songs
The title of this volume comes from the poem "Dregs" by Ernest Dowson.

Jherek and Mrs Amelia Underwood, after spending some time alone in the Devonian, meet Una Persson and Captain Oswald Bastable, who introduce themselves as members of the Guild of Temporal Adventurers. They explain the notion of the multiverse as the combination of all simultaneously existing realities before sending Jherek and Amelia back to the End of Time. There, Jherek finds all his friends who had vanished from 1896 alive and well, except for Lord Jagged who has yet to return. Amelia is now more tolerant towards the people of the End of Time, though still occasionally revolted by their lack of morals. She and Jherek resume the life they led in An Alien Heat, which is interrupted by the sudden arrival of a shell shocked, crazed Mr Underwood, Inspector Springer and a dozen policemen, and the Lat.

Jherek, the Duke of Queens, the policemen, Amelia and Mr Underwood seek refuge from the Lat in one of the Lost Cities, which hold the energy used by the people of the End of Time to alter matter through their rings, and are surprised to find it crumbling, and the sun gone. They are joined by Yusharisp and the end-of-time resident Lord Mongrove, a manic-depressive giant who explains that the apocalypse has begun, and that they are the sole survivors. The group realises with horror that their energy rings are no longer working. In light of their impending doom, Amelia finally admits that her love for Jherek is more important to her than morals or convention.

The Iron Orchid and Lord Jagged, by now assumed to be dead, appear. Lord Jagged reveals himself to be Jherek's father, and a time traveller from the 21st century. After learning of the Earth's impending destruction, he sought to preserve humanity by sending a "new Adam and Eve" to the beginning of time, thus creating a loop that would prevent humanity from spending thousands of years relearning the basics of civilisation. For genetic reasons, he chose Jherek and Amelia and orchestrated their meeting. Amelia and Jherek's marooning in the Devonian was not part of the plan; they did not, in fact, travel back in time, but too far into the future, past the end of the world in which they were currently residing. Upon realising this, Jagged understood that time is circular, not linear as was previously assumed, and devised a new plan. While his friends are devastated, he shows unwavering optimism and surprises everyone by creating a new sun with his energy ring. He proceeds to explain that energy can be drawn from any existing reality within the multiverse; this, combined with the technology that "recycled" time in the underground school, can be used to sustain the Earth forever.

Now reassured that the Earth is safe in a time loop and provided with a new source of energy, the End of Timers resurrect their friends who died in the aborted apocalypse, and rebuild their world. Amelia, now comfortable at the End of Time, becomes popular. During a visit to Mr Underwood in the Lost City, she is faced with his conviction that she is damned when she tells him of her belief that God is dead. While she struggles with her conscience and her newfound atheism, her husband travels back to the 19th century and she decides to marry Jherek. When Lord Jagged offers to send both her and Jherek into the future, out of the time loop and after the end of the world to start a new civilisation, they accept.

Legends from the End of Time
Pale Roses begins with the destruction of the rainbow part of Werther de Goethe's creation Rain by the Everlasting Concubine, Mistress Christia, and Werther's despair. After a short interlude, Werther discovers, by the use of a parachute that closely resembles a Hot air balloon, a child (Catherine Lily Marguerite Natasha Dolores Beatrice Machineshop-Seven Flambeau Gratitude) who is the fourteen-year-old daughter of two time travellers, and deigns to take on the role of her now deceased parents.

Following a masquerade with the theme of Childhood, Werther is passionately overcome and engages in sexual intercourse with Catherine. After the event, disgusted by what he perceives to be the enormity of his acts, he is even more disgusted in Catherine for having enjoyed what she describes as le petit mal. The story climaxes with Werther's suicide by jumping from his tower unaided by his parachute and his subsequent resurrection.

It is then revealed that Catherine is really Mistress Christia in disguise, the series of events being an attempt to reconcile after her having destroyed his rainbow.

White Stars: after discovering that he had inadvertently destroyed one of Lord Shark the Unknown's experiments with lichen, the Duke of Queens offers to duel with him to rid himself of his guilt.

In Ancient Shadows, a time traveller, Dafnish Armatuce, and her son, Snuffles, arrive at the End of Time, and become involved with Miss Mavis Ming.

The Transformation of Miss Mavis Ming
Chronicling the transformation of Miss Mavis Ming and the parts played by Doctor Volospion, his fellow residents at the End of Time, and Mr Emmanuel Bloom, also known as The Fireclown. The ending originally involved a scene where the main character, Mavis Ming, was whipped into submission by Bloom. This was later rewritten by the author. The novel has also been published, with differences, under the titles A Messiah at the End of Time and Constant Fire.

Elric at the End of Time
"Elric at the End of Time" is one of two Elric short stories included in the eponymous collection, Elric at the End of Time. Its characters include Elric, Una Persson, and Lord Jagged.

Jherek Carnelian
Jherek Carnelian, son of the Iron Orchid and an unknown father (later revealed to be Lord Jagged) is the protagonist of the novels An Alien Heat, The Hollow Lands and The End of All Songs. Jherek is almost unique among the natives of The End of Time, in that he was born, rather than created. Only Werther De Goethe is mentioned as also having been born, implying that this trait is something of a rarity in this time period.

Jherek's childhood and adolescence subsequently provided a great deal of novelty and interest for the Iron Orchid and her clique, and left Jherek with a notable childlike freshness and creativity, compared to the majority of his contemporaries. This makes him something of a trend-setter among his peers. In particular, his fascination with the past has made him a recognised expert in the field – the nearest thing The End of Time has to a historian. He is particularly interested in the 19th and early 20th centuries. A million or more years of lost records and misinformation have taken their toll, however, and Jherek's attempts to recreate elements of the era are often comically inaccurate.

Jherek's entire existence is later revealed to be part of a complicated scheme of Lord Jagged's to survive the End of Time by selectively breeding a race of humans whose DNA renders them immune to the tendency for time to heal itself by rejecting time travellers who journey to the past, and flinging them forward to their point of origin, or beyond. This tendency is called the "Morphail Effect" and it is named after Dr. Brannart Morphail, a character in the novel.

Jherek may be an incarnation of Moorcock's recurring character Jerry Cornelius.

Mrs Amelia Underwood
A denizen of 19th century Bromley, she arrives at a party hosted by the Duke of Queens under mysterious circumstances after she is kidnapped from her own age. She is married to the stuffy Mr. Underwood, who becomes a comic presence in the second and third books. She is a lovely young woman and, although her Victorian upbringing has made a strict moralist of her, she gradually begins to thaw under Jherek's influence. In her childhood, she travelled with her father, a missionary, into exotic locations: these experiences planted the seeds of tolerance.

At first, her sense of duty makes her tolerate Jherek, despite his vexing romantic blandishments; she tells herself that, as a good Christian, she must indoctrinate him into the mysteries of Virtue. Later, her personality begins to blossom, and she realises she loves Jherek.

The Iron Orchid
The last woman to give birth on Earth, the Iron Orchid is Jherek's mother. Surprised that she had a child, she delights in her son, and encourages his creativity and endeavors. She is fond of Jherek's company, often having picnics with him.

Lord Jagged
Lord Jagged is a time traveller, and, unlike Jherek and the Iron Orchid, is not a native to the End of Time. He is the father of Jherek by the Iron Orchid, and is later shown to be manipulating various events that occur in the series.

In the short story, Elric at the End of Time, Lord Jagged assumes the persona of the chaos Lord Arioch, returning Elric to his own realm. Una Persson later compliments him on the imitation, saying: Your disguise was wonderful, Jagged. How did you manage to imitate that character so thoroughly? It convinced Elric. He really thought you were whatever it was—a Chaos Duke? I mean, it's almost as if you were this fellow 'Arioch'...

Lord Jagged, however, does not reply to this. Instead, he "[puffs] on his pipe and [smiles] a secret and superior smile".

Werther de Goethe
Werther de Goethe is named for the main character of Goethe's novel The Sorrows of Young Werther and for Goethe himself, and is likewise angst ridden. He features as the main character in the short story "Pale Roses". Werther is the only other character from the end of time who was born, rather than created through the use of power rings.

Duke of Queens
The Duke of Queens is known throughout the End of Time for his outrageous creations. His first appearance is in An Alien Heat. After having adjusted the geography where the Iron Orchid and Jherek lunched and turning the sea into a deep pink, described as almost cerise, he is shown to be once more experimenting with artificial wings, to the chagrin of Iron Orchid, who wonders why he insists that they are a success.

My Lady Charlotina
My Lady Charlotina lives under the last permanent body of water on Earth, Lake Billy the Kid. Capricious, she often changes her skin tone to unusual colors. A jealous collector, she has one of the world's largest menageries of time and space travelers. She is the patron of Brannart Morphail whose laboratories share her apartments under the lake.

Brannart Morphail
Brannart Morphail is a self-styled scientist who specializes in Time and time travel. He is short, ugly, and has both a club foot and a hump. The Morphail Effect, a law of time that prevents time travel paradox, is named after him.

Mistress Christia, The Everlasting Concubine
Mistress Christia is the expression of feminine beauty at the end of time. Beloved by all at the End of Time, she is a favorite at gatherings, always being the first to arrive.

Bishop Castle
Formerly known as "King Rook", Bishop Castle has interest in all thing religious. He wears a ten-foot high mitre.

Lord Mongrove
Lord Mongrove appears as a sad hulking giant. Obsessed with darker emotions, his style in clothing and dwelling are depressing, gloomy affairs. He claims he has no friends, but appreciates Werther de Goethe's aesthetic.

Li Pao
Li Pao is a time traveler from the 23rd century. He is disgusted by the decadence and excesses of the people at the End of Time, and often chastises them for their amoral ways, despite always attending their parties and gatherings.

Miss Mavis Ming
Miss Mavis Ming appears in the short story "Ancient Shadows", playing host to Dafnish Armatuce and her son, Snuffles, and also in the novel The Transformation of Miss Mavis Ming, where she escapes from the machinations of Doctor Volospion. She has a small role in Moorcock's spy novel parody The Chinese Agent (1970), where she describes herself as a one-quarter Chinese former exotic dancer who used to perform a striptease under the name "Dawn Flower Ming, the Geisha Gusher".

Critical response
The book is included in Interzone editor David Pringle's Science Fiction: The 100 Best Novels (1985). Hari Kunzru, writing in the Guardian, described The Dancers at the End of Time trilogy as "one of the great postwar English fantasies".

Books

 * Caitlin R. Kiernan's 1995 short story "Giants in the Earth", a prequel to An Alien Heat, relates the societal debut of a 7-year-old Jherek Carnelian to the residents of the End of Time.
 * In 2011, Rebel at the End of Time, another prequel to An Alien Heat and written by Steve Aylett, was published by PS Publishing. It shares a setting and several characters with Moorcock's sequence. The events of the novel, involving the arrival of a 21st-century revolutionary militant at the End of Time, are sufficiently inconsequential to have been mostly forgotten by the time An Alien Heat begins, with the exception of An Alien Heat's passing mention of a fleeting fad for flags.

Music

 * Moorcock contributed vocals and harmonica to the Spirits Burning & Michael Moorcock albums An Alien Heat and The Hollow Lands. Most of the lyrics were lifted from or based on text in novels from his The Dancers at the End of Time trilogy. The albums were produced by Spirits Burning leader Don Falcone, and included contributions from Albert Bouchard and other members of Blue Öyster Cult, as well as former members of Hawkwind.
 * The band Howlin' Rain features the song "Dancers at the End of Time" on their Magnificent Fiend album. The song's chorus is "Mrs. Amelia Underwood/Carry my heart in your hands/Jesus will shine on you brightly/Into the hollow lands".

Hammel Municipality

Until 1 January 2007 Hammel municipality was a municipality (Danish, kommune) in Aarhus County in central Denmark. The municipality covered an area of 144 km2, and had a total population of 10.830 (2005). Its last mayor was Ole Brøkner, a member of the Conservative People's Party (Det Konservative Folkeparti) political party. The main town and site of its municipal council was the town of Hammel.

The municipality was created in 1970 due to a kommunalreform ("Municipality Reform") that combined a number of existing parishes:
 * Hammel Parish
 * Haurum Parish
 * Lading Parish
 * Røgen Parish
 * Sall Parish
 * Skjød Parish
 * Søby Parish
 * Sporup Parish
 * Voldby Parish

Hammel municipality ceased to exist due to Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007). It was merged with existing Hadsten, Hinnerup, and Hvorslev municipalities, as well as the southern part of Langå municipality to form the new Favrskov municipality. This created a municipality with an area of 487 km2 and a total population of ca. 41,596 (2005). The new municipality belongs to Region Midtjylland ("Mid-Jutland Region").
