Photo Removals
Obviously some people want to take charge of this page and really enforce the wikipedia standards on the photo policy, which unfortunately means less images. I would like to at least see a photo of the SC model or the completely painted panel version on here, but all my photos were taken down by Roguegeek,a user that I will not argue with the latter portion of his name, pretty much stalked my profile and decided to become the wikipedian police on me. Long story short, someone who can upload photos correctly, please dress this page up a bit, the Element deserves it.Pumapayam 17:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

 * This article could absolutely use more images considering the features the Element has to offer. Let's just hope they pass fair use criteria WP:FUC because, as most editors here know, they must. Better yet, let's see some awesome free use images. Roguegeek (talk) 20:00, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Honda Element Community Link
Does anyone know what happened to HondaElement.org community page? If it shut down, I guess we show remove it.

 * Yes. They let the domain name expire nearly two months ago.

 * So when are we going to get it back, will it come back?Pumapayam 14:20, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Removed unsourced Major Drawback comment
I removed the unsourced "major drawback" section. I did not find a reference for the Elements payload capacity but it's towing capacity is 1500 pounds the section can be replace if verifiable references supporting it can be found. Jeepday 00:04, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I put the drawback section back in the article and added a reference. The Element uses the CRV's chasis, which has a load capacity of 900 lbs, but the Element has a heavier body and for some reason Honda didn't compensate with a beefier suspension. Perhaps the will fix this major goof up on later models. One of the dealers at my local Honda dealership said that the low weight capacity has lost them a lot of potential sales, so this year they are only going to have 3 Elements on the lot instead of the 20 they had last year.IG-2000 20:50, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the reference:) Based on original research I have not found a significant power issue with the 03 Element.  It looks like a suspension issue per your refence, but (In My Opinion) the section does not make it clear that is a suspension issue not a power issue so kind of looks wrong against the 1500 pound towing capacity.  Maybe a slight edit on the text? Jeepday 21:48, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Major Drawbacks
One major drawback of the Honda Element is the extremely low weight capacity. The Element can only hold 675 pounds, including passengers. Even though the Element is a four-seater, it is easily over-loaded with four adult passengers.
 * May I suggest placing it somewhere, where it makes sense, or does this only affect the 2007 model. I find it hard to believe that a 2003 model can carry more weight than the 2007.  Make the effort and put it in the correct spot, or I will remove it, as its place in the article makes absolutely no sense in "2007".Pumapayam 17:28, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It appears that the section has been moved to a more appropriate area. Jeepday 02:44, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Clarification
Can someone clarify the paragraph just before the contents box? It currently says: "This is a hydraulically-actuated system that operates only when front wheel slippage occurs. It was discontinued in Japan with the 2006 model." Does that mean the four-wheel drive option was discontinued, or the Element was? I can't immediately find a reference that tells me one way or the other. 70.237.234.73 01:31, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Advert
There is a section marked at too much like an advert. Don't agree. Remove the flag and let it stand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.8.175.48 (talk) 01:46, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Agreed, it seems fine, removing it. Robogymnast (talk) 21:45, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Past/Present/Future Tense

'Top Gear' episode
I am new at this, but after watching the BBC show 'Top Gear', I think someone should mention the fact that hosts of that show evaluated an Element (season 6, episode 1). If you've ever watched the show, it's funny and informative. To see if the Element is "cool" or not, one of the presenters takes it to a group or retired British lawn bowlers. They don't like it, therefore it's officially cool. Here's a link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gear_(series_6)

Just a thought...Kareemachan (talk) 23:30, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

"Wash-ability"
Should the fact that the Honda Element's floor is easily cleaned be included? Our family was looking for new vehicles some time ago, and we considered the Honda Element. The salesman told us that if you take out the seats and place the Element on some sort of slope (with the rear of the car facing down the slope) you can just take a hose to the thing and the water will run out the back end. This is because of its floor material that it uses (some sort of heavy-duty plastic or something). Just a thought. Venku Tur'Mukan (talk) 16:44, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Oh, I guess it's SORT OF included. But it's not explained further. Maybe it doesn't need to be. But now my suggestion's up there. Venku Tur'Mukan (talk) 16:46, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Note: The opt-repeated "hose it out" story is actually not true. The floor is plastic, but it's not sealed. Many of those who have tried hosing out their Elements have wound up with costly damage (particularly to the electrical system). It can be wiped clean, but not hosed out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.59.125.124 (talk) 18:58, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Model Year Changes
I am pretty certain that the 'LX' was introduced in 2004, not 2005. http://www.trucktrend.com/2004/99/honda/element/lx-sport-utility/1075/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.21.84.28 (talk) 00:01, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Havant

[Untitled]
Havant is not a particularly high-crime area, as demonstrated by the figures at http://www.upmystreet.com/local/police-crime/l/Havant.html Whitepaw 21:48, 2005 Jun 13 (UTC)

Well, as someone who lives in the surrounding area, I personally see vandalism and police cars around on an almost daily basis, in stark contrast to other areas such as Westbourne or Emsworth, or even bigger places such as Chichester - so don't cite population/size as a factor. This is supposed to be an encyclopedia. Or are we only allowed to reveal facts that don't offend the sensibilities of those who attempt to make the world look rosey? Are you a member of the thought police?

 * I also happen to live in the area, at least outside of term time. Other than the remains of the derelict petrol station North of the Burger King, I have seen no sign of vanalism south of the Meridian center, and only minute quantities elsewhere, e.g. grafitti on the westmost footpath between West St. and the bus station, and also on the bus station itself.

 * I have actually looked up the crime figures for Chichester (Westbourne and Emsworth are part of the same statisics region), but you cannot reasonably say Havant has "high" crime levels when we do not deviate significantly from the national average – try Nottingham  for that. You cannot even say we are high for our region, as Portsmouth has more crime  (and Portsmouth itself isn't particularly far off the national average itself!)

 * I have provided evidence that that crime is not significantly different in Havant compared to elsewhere; if you would care to cite evidence of your own that shows otherwise, this would help greatly. Until that time, I consider your addition to be false.

 * In addition, last I checked, the council housing was mainly confined to Leigh Park, which has it's own page, if you want to edit it.

 * Finally, would you kindly refrain from sarcasm, as it is unhelpful.

fine mate - have it your way.

Wikipedia just went down in my estimations. If there are people like you regulating content based on pride or some other form of denial, the accuracy of the information is hardly any good - is it?

No sarcasm there mate, I'm flat out serious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.250.24.60 (talk)

User:Kils/Virtual university

Virtuelle Universität

The Virtual University is an initiative of students, professors and philanthropists for some free education via the www, later mounted within Wikiversity, with interactive components. This page is intended to serve as brainstorming and coordinating nucleus.

Many universities, like Edison college or the Open University in England, have interactive courses over the internet (Distance education), however they charge tuition. Especially as support for third world countries there are now some proposals to deliver courses and interactive material free. Erik Moeller user:eloquence proposed the wikiversity which is under construction as an umbrella for such virtual education. In Germany a demonstration version is mounted with courses, free video/audioconferences and interactive tools, for example on oceanography. First professors volunteered as "faculty patrons" for the project, like Gotthilf Hempel, Uwe Kils - all faculty worldwide is invited to add some classes and ideas to this international project, also mount some works and reading material and images and graphs on Wikisource and register with SKYPE and iVISIT for communication. A lecture (like "Biology of Antarctica") should serve as an umbrella with jumps to information. The teaching content should be contained on life Wikipedia pages, possibly with forked-off mirrors frozen at intervals after proofreading, like in the faculty checked forked off stage of the article about Antarctic krill. Also collect scientific and featured images like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/Krilleyekils Picture of the day/June 20, 2005

Terrence Mann

Terrence Vaughan Mann (born July 1, 1951) is an American theatre, film and television actor and baritone singer. He is best known for his appearances on the Broadway stage, which include Lyman in Barnum, The Rum Tum Tugger in Cats, Inspector Javert in Les Misérables, The Beast in Beauty and the Beast, Chauvelin in The Scarlet Pimpernel, Frank N. Furter in The Rocky Horror Show, Charlemagne in Pippin, Mal Beineke in The Addams Family, Charles Frohman / Captain James Hook in Finding Neverland, and The Man in the Yellow Suit in Tuck Everlasting. He has received three Tony Award nominations, an Emmy Award nomination, and an Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Actor in a Musical.

His film credits include the Critters series, A Chorus Line, Big Top Pee-wee, and Solarbabies. He also starred as the villain Whispers in the Netflix series Sense8 from 2015 to 2018. He is a distinguished professor of musical theatre at Western Carolina University, and is an artistic director of the Carolina Arts Festival and the North Carolina Theatre.

Early life
Mann was born in Ashland, Kentucky, the eldest of three sons to Helen and Charles Mann. Mann's mother was a concert pianist, and his father sang in a barbershop quartet. Music was part of his growing up, so singing came naturally to him. But it was the multiple pleasures of the stage that drew him to the world of theater.

In an interview with the Hartford Courant, Mann said: "When I was doing the junior class play — it was called 'In Deadly Earnest' — at the end of a scene, the script said, 'They kiss.' It was then that I honestly thought, 'I'm going to be in the theater!' I was fascinated with having words put in my mouth and that someone would say something back to me that would get us to a moment where we ended up in a kiss. I remember when my school counselor asked me what I wanted to do, I said without hesitation, 'Go into the theater!'"

Mann grew up in Largo, Florida and he is a 1969 graduate of Largo High School. His first professional job came during his college years in Jacksonville University. For $35 a week, he was offered the job of performing in the annual outdoor theater spectacular The Lost Colony, during summers on the Outer banks of Manteo, North Carolina. It was here he met Joe Layton, who later was instrumental in getting him his first Broadway show.

Mann later attended the North Carolina School of the Arts, where his mentor was Malcolm Morrison, former dean at The Hartt School at the University of Hartford. For many years Mann was a regular at Morrison's North Carolina Shakespeare Festival.

Career
Mann made his Broadway debut in 1980 in Barnum at the St. James Theatre, in the supporting role of Chester Lyman. He made his true break-through performance in the original Broadway cast of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats in 1982, in which he met and starred alongside his future wife, Charlotte d'Amboise. He created the memorable lead role of the "playful" cat Rum Tum Tugger. In 1985, Mann played assistant choreographer Larry in Richard Attenborough's film version of A Chorus Line.

In 1987, he played the role of Inspector Javert in the original Broadway cast of Les Misérables. His portrayal of Javert earned him his first Tony Award nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role, a role which he would later reprise near the end of the musical's run at the Imperial Theatre in 2003. Mann returned to the role once more in June 2015, directing and starring as Javert in a staged concert of the show at the Connecticut Repertory Theatre, Storrs, Connecticut.

Mann earned his second Tony Award nomination for Actor in a Musical in 1994 for his portrayal of the Beast in Disney's Beauty and the Beast at the Palace Theater and reprised his role in the Los Angeles production in 1995 along with many of the original Broadway cast members. In 1997, Mann created the role of Chauvelin in the Frank Wildhorn musical The Scarlet Pimpernel on Broadway.

He has also starred in other musicals on Broadway including: Rags (1986), Jerome Robbins' Broadway (1989), Getting Away with Murder (1996) and the 2000 Broadway revival of The Rocky Horror Show (in which he played Frank-N-Furter, replacing Tom Hewitt in the role), in addition to the (then) Off-Broadway musical Assassins (1990) as Czolgosz. He appeared in the first four Critters films as an alien bounty hunter named Ug. He starred in the television soap opera All My Children as Earl Boyd in 1997. Mann played "Old Tom" in Paul Green's outdoor drama The Lost Colony in North Carolina, and later returned to his theatrical roots to direct the show for 2 seasons.

He starred in the Broadway musical Lennon, which opened in August 2005 and closed after 49 performances. He then appeared in the world premiere of The Studio written and directed by his brother-in-law Christopher d'Amboise, at South Coast Repertory, Costa Mesa, California in March 2006.

Mann has made guest appearances on The Equalizer, Gargoyles (voice of Oberon), The Tick (voice), and Law & Order. He was also a leading character on The Dresden Files as Hrothbert "Bob" of Bainbridge, a cursed ghost. He portrayed oceanographer Bob Ballard in the 30 Rock episode "TGS Hates Women".

He appeared in the 2008 films A Circle on the Cross as James Monroe Good, Eavesdrop as August, and the 2009 film The Mandala Maker as Museum Chief Curator. Other films completed include a small role in Jazz in the Diamond District and as Lt. Fox in Red Hook.

In November 2009, he originated the role of Mal Beineke opposite Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth in the Chicago tryout of a musical adaptation of The Addams Family. The show, along with Mann, transferred to Broadway, and opened in March 2010. He continued to play the role of Mal Beineke until April 2011, when he, along with several other members of the original cast, left the show.

Mann played King Charlemagne in the American Repertory Theatre (Boston) production of Pippin, from December 2012 to January 2013 a role he first played in the 2004 World AIDS Day Concert. He reprised that role in the Broadway revival for which he received a 2013 Tony nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Musical. He performed alongside his wife, Charlotte d'Amboise, who performed as Fastrada, the King's devious second wife.

In 2015, he took over the role of Charles Frohman/Captain James Hook in the Broadway musical Finding Neverland, replacing Anthony Warlow, who left the show on September 27. He was to remain in the role until Kelsey Grammer's return in January 2016. He appeared in the role of "Man in the Yellow Suit" in the Broadway musical Tuck Everlasting in 2016. And he gave a “commanding” performance starring as Edgar Degas in the West Coast premiere of Marie, Dancing Still at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre in 2019.

Personal life
He married his Pippin co-star Charlotte d'Amboise on January 20, 1996. The couple have two daughters, Josephine and Shelby.

Isotopes of hydrogen

Hydrogen (1H) has three naturally occurring isotopes, sometimes denoted 1Hydrogen, 2Hydrogen, and 3Hydrogen. 1Hydrogen and 2Hydrogen are stable, while 3Hydrogen has a half-life of $12.32$ years. Heavier isotopes also exist, all of which are synthetic and have a half-life of less than one zeptosecond (10−21 s). Of these, 5Hydrogen is the least stable, while 7Hydrogen is the most.

Hydrogen is the only element whose isotopes have different names that remain in common use today: the 2Hydrogen (or hydrogen-2) isotope is deuterium and the 3Hydrogen (or hydrogen-3) isotope is tritium. The symbols D and T are sometimes used for deuterium and tritium. The IUPAC accepts the D and T symbols, but recommends using standard isotopic symbols (2Hydrogen and 3Hydrogen) instead to avoid confusion in the alphabetic sorting of chemical formulas. The isotope 1Hydrogen, with no neutrons, may be called protium to disambiguate. (During the early study of radioactivity, some other heavy radioactive isotopes were given names, but such names are rarely used today.)

Hydrogen-1 (protium)
1Hydrogen (atomic mass $3.016$) is the most common hydrogen isotope, with an abundance of more than 99.98%. Because the nucleus of this isotope consists of only a single proton, it is given the formal name protium.

The proton has never been observed to decay, and hydrogen-1 is therefore considered a stable isotope. Some grand unified theories proposed in the 1970s predict that proton decay can occur with a half-life between $12.32 y$ and $4.026$ years. If this prediction is found to be true, then hydrogen-1 (and indeed all nuclei now believed to be stable) are only observationally stable. , experiments have shown that the minimum mean lifetime of the proton is in excess of $139 ys$ years.

Hydrogen-2 (deuterium)
2Hydrogen (atomic mass $5.035$), the other stable hydrogen isotope, is known as deuterium and contains one proton and one neutron in its nucleus. The nucleus of deuterium is called a deuteron. Deuterium comprises 0.0026–0.0184% (26 ppm to 184 ppm ; by population, not by mass) of hydrogen samples on Earth, with the lower number tending to be found in samples of hydrogen gas and the higher enrichment (0.015% or 150 ppm) typical of ocean water. Deuterium on Earth has been enriched with respect to its initial concentration in the Big Bang and the outer solar system (about 27 ppm, by atom fraction) and its concentration in older parts of the Milky Way galaxy (about 0.0023%, or 23 ppm). Presumably the differential concentration of deuterium in the inner solar system is due to the lower volatility of deuterium gas and compounds, enriching deuterium fractions in comets and planets exposed to significant heat from the Sun over billions of years of solar system evolution.

Deuterium is not radioactive, and does not represent a significant toxicity hazard. Water enriched in molecules that include deuterium instead of protium is called heavy water. Deuterium and its compounds are used as a non-radioactive label in chemical experiments and in solvents for 1Hydrogen-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Heavy water is used as a neutron moderator and coolant for nuclear reactors. Deuterium is also a potential fuel for commercial nuclear fusion.

Hydrogen-3 (tritium)
3Hydrogen (atomic mass $86 ys$) is known as tritium and contains one proton and two neutrons in its nucleus. It is radioactive, decaying into helium-3 through β− decay with a half-life of $6.045$. Trace amounts of tritium occur naturally because of the interaction of cosmic rays with atmospheric gases. Tritium has also been released during nuclear weapons tests. It is used in thermonuclear fusion weapons, as a tracer in isotope geochemistry, and specialized in self-powered lighting devices.

The most common method of producing tritium is by bombarding a natural isotope of lithium, lithium-6, with neutrons in a nuclear reactor.

Tritium can be used in chemical and biological labeling experiments as a radioactive tracer. D-T nuclear fusion uses tritium as its main reactant, along with deuterium, liberating energy through the loss of mass when the two nuclei collide and fuse at high temperatures.

Hydrogen-4
4Hydrogen (atomic mass $294 ys$) contains one proton and three neutrons in its nucleus. It is a highly unstable isotope of hydrogen. It has been synthesized in the laboratory by bombarding tritium with fast-moving deuterium nuclei. In this experiment, the tritium nucleus captured a neutron from the fast-moving deuterium nucleus. The presence of the hydrogen-4 was deduced by detecting the emitted protons. It decays through neutron emission into hydrogen-3 (tritium) with a half-life of $7.053$ (or $652 ys$).

In the 1955 satirical novel The Mouse That Roared, the name quadium was given to the hydrogen-4 isotope that powered the Q-bomb that the Duchy of Grand Fenwick captured from the United States.

Hydrogen-5
5Hydrogen (atomic mass $1.008 Da$) is a highly unstable isotope of hydrogen. The nucleus consists of a proton and four neutrons. It has been synthesized in the laboratory by bombarding tritium with fast-moving tritium nuclei. In this experiment, one tritium nucleus captures two neutrons from the other, becoming a nucleus with one proton and four neutrons. The remaining proton may be detected, and the existence of hydrogen-5 deduced. It decays through double neutron emission into hydrogen-3 (tritium) and has a half-life of $$ ($$) – the shortest half-life of any known nuclide.

Hydrogen-6
6Hydrogen (atomic mass $3.6$) consists of a proton and five neutrons. It has a half-life of $2.014 Da$ ($3.016 Da$).

Hydrogen-7
7Hydrogen (atomic mass $12.32 years$) consists of a proton and six neutrons. It was first synthesized in 2003 by a group of Russian, Japanese and French scientists at RIKEN's Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory by bombarding hydrogen with helium-8 atoms. In the resulting reaction, all six of the helium-8 neutrons were donated to the hydrogen's nucleus. The two remaining protons were detected by the "RIKEN telescope", a device composed of several layers of sensors, positioned behind the target of the RI Beam cyclotron. Hydrogen-7 has a half-life of $4.026$ ($139 ys$).

Decay chains
4Hydrogen and 5Hydrogen decay directly to 3Hydrogen, which then decays to the stable isotope 3Helium. Decay of the heaviest isotopes, 6Hydrogen and 7Hydrogen, has not been experimentally observed.

Decay times are in yoctoseconds ($0 s$) for all these isotopes except 3Hydrogen, which is expressed in years.

Chief of Staff of the Irish Republican Army

Several people are reported to have served as Chief of Staff of the Irish Republican Army (Ceann Foirne Óglaigh na hÉireann) in the organisations bearing that name. Due to the clandestine nature of these organisations, this list is not definitive.

Chiefs of Staff of the Irish Republican Army (1917–1922)
From this point on, this lineage diverts to Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces

a. Chairman of the Resident Executive

Chiefs of Staff of the (anti-Treaty) Irish Republican Army (1922–1969)
At an IRA General Army Convention held at Knockvicar House in Boyle, County Roscommon in December 1969, the IRA split into two factions, the majority Official IRA and the minority Provisional IRA.

Chiefs of Staff of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (1969–2005)
a. Some noted Irish and British historians, including Ed Moloney, author of A Secret History of the IRA, have claimed that Gerry Adams has been part of the IRA leadership. Adams has always denied IRA membership, let alone being chief of staff.

b. Although he admitted in his lifetime to IRA membership, he denied ever being Chief of Staff

Chiefs of Staff of the Official Irish Republican Army (1969–present)
a. Hanley and Millar (2010) wrote: Goulding was "replaced by Garland after an Army Council vote in summer 1976. Long dismissive of the IRA's titles and formal military structure, Garland was reluctant to adopt the title of Chief of Staff; but he was now undoubtedly in charge".

Lacus Solitudinis

Lacus Solitudinis (Latin sōlitūdinis, "Lake of Solitude") is a small lunar mare on the far side of the Moon. The selenographic coordinates of the lake are 27.8° S, 104.3° E, and it lies within a diameter of 139 km. It forms an arcing feature with the concave side oriented to the northwest. The eastern edge is relatively continuous, while the west is more irregular and disrupted by small craters.

To the northwest of the northern end is the small crater Bowditch, a lava-flooded feature although it does not appear directly connected to the Lacus Solitudinis. At the western end of the mare, the eroded crater Titius lies to the northwest. To the south of this feature is Parkhurst Y, with Parkhurst itself lying some distance to the southeast.

 * Merge. Adult Swim is different, since it is now regarded as a "separate network", and thus justifying it having its own section. Toonami no longer even exists, so should also be merged. As for the meaning of Miguzi it could easily be included in a sub-section.  Regarding TenofAllTrades' concern about ease of navigation, a simple click of a link in the contents menu would take browsers straight to the section.  I have added the relevant sections to the Cartoon Network - which was surprisingly short - with links to subsections about Toonami, Adult Swim, and Miguzi, as a demonstration of the merge idea.

1975 in country music

This is a list of notable events in country music that took place in the year 1975.

Events

 * March 13 — The rocky marriage of George Jones and Tammy Wynette ends in divorce.
 * July 17 — A Russian-language version of Conway Twitty's 1970 hit, "Hello Darlin'" is played and broadcast to a worldwide audience as part of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. The song, which in Russian was called "Privet Radost," is a "gesture of goodwill" from the Apollo crew to the Soviet Union's Soyuz crew. Twitty worked with a language professor from the University of Oklahoma to record the phonetic Russian version of the song.
 * August 8 — While mountain climbing at Ajax Mountain, Montana, Hank Williams, Jr. is involved in a catastrophic accident. He tumbles nearly 500 feet and is critically injured, suffering numerous facial and head injuries. His recovery takes nearly two years, during which time he undergoes a major cosmetic — and musical — overhaul.
 * October — The defining moment in the recent debate over what defines country music – and each side's vision of the genre – comes at the Country Music Association awards. Charlie Rich, the 1974 CMA Entertainer of the Year, was selected to name the new Entertainer of the Year. When he opened the envelope, he took out his cigarette lighter, lighted the piece of paper with the winner's name on fire, and disgustedly announced the winner: "My good friend John Denver!" Denver, who was not present, was humbled at his award (but didn't know until later about Rich's actions).

No dates

 * The deaths of three country music legends — Bob Wills, George Morgan and Lefty Frizzell — leave a huge void among fans.
 * During a CBS documentary recorded and realised this year, Doolittle Lynn, husband of Loretta Lynn tells the world he “wants his wife to come home.”
 * Six songs that reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart also reach the top of the Hot 100 chart: "(Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song" by B. J. Thomas; "Before the Next Teardrop Falls" by Freddy Fender; "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" and "I'm Sorry," both by John Denver; "Rhinestone Cowboy" by Glen Campbell; and "Convoy" by C. W. McCall. In addition, several other songs that reach the top on one of the charts does very well on the other, including "Have You Never Been Mellow" and "Please Mr. Please" by Olivia Newton-John; "I'm Not Lisa" by Jessi Colter; Fender's "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights"; and "When Will I Be Loved" by Linda Ronstadt.

Sinus Aestuum

Sinus Aestuum (Latin sinus aestuum "Seething Bay") forms a northeastern extension to Mare Insularum. It is centered at selenographic coordinates 12.1° N, 8.3° W, and it lies within a diameter of about 320 km.

The Sinus Aestuum is a level, nearly featureless surface of low albedo basaltic lava that is marked by a few small impacts and some wrinkle ridges. The eastern border is formed by an area of irregular terrain that divides the bay from the Mare Vaporum to the east. To the north is the Montes Apenninus range and the prominent crater Eratosthenes. Along the western side is the flooded crater Stadius and the Mare Insularum to the southwest.

Talk:Virgin Steele

Neutral Point of View?
This article is currently more of a hagiography than a neutral encyclopedia article. A quote:
 * Virgin Steele is one of those bands whose value is directly proportional to their misfortune -- enormous. Today they've achieved the cult band status, but this is one of the best metal bands of all time and surely the best which came out of the USA.

This article evidently needs editing to conform with Wikipedia's NPOV guidelines. -- Karada 21:59, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Note also that the biography is 7 years out of date - a lot has happened with this band since then!

Real talk: This was written by someone in the band, wasn't it? It sure reads like it. Like, not even a fan would jerk this band off this much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.89.45.223 (talk) 18:50, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Dietrich Küchemann

Dietrich Küchemann CBE FRS FRAeS (11 September 1911 – 23 February 1976) was a German aerodynamicist who made several important contributions to the advancement of high-speed flight. He spent most of his career in the UK, where he is best known for his work on Concorde.

Biography
Küchemann was born in Göttingen where he studied at its University of Göttingen, home of the largest German institute of aerodynamics. He was originally going to move on to pure physics research under Max Born, a friend of his father's, but lost this chance when Born and several other Jewish members of the University staff were expelled from the country by the Nazi regime. Instead Küchemann went on to join Ludwig Prandtl in aerodynamics research. He published his doctoral thesis in 1936.

With the war looming, Küchemann volunteered for service in 1938, and as expected was given a non-combatant role in Signals. He held the rank of Unteroffizier from 1942 to 1945, but he saw no active service. During this period he continued research, notably into the problems of high speed flight, wave drag, swept wing theory and initial steps on the road to the area rule, and he designed a fuselage shape later dubbed the "Küchemann Coke Bottle".

One year after the war Küchemann moved to England and started work at the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) at Farnborough. In 1953 he and his colleague, Johanna Weber, published the still-standard work on the topic, Aerodynamics of Propulsion, based on their work at the Aeronautische Versuchsanstalt (AVA), Göttingen from 1940 to 1945.

Küchemann continued his work on high-speed flight, and was part of the team involved in the development of the delta wing in England. He raised the design as a possible approach for supersonic transport, but indicated that he was unclear about the low speed controllability. A series of test aircraft, such as Handley Page HP.115, were built during the 1950s to study the various problems with the design, which eventually led to the advanced ogive shape used on Concorde. He was also a tireless promoter of the lifting body concept for aircraft (as opposed to spacecraft, as in US research), although to date no blended wing body aircraft has entered service. Similar research was followed on the waverider concept.

After becoming – along with Weber – a British citizen in 1953, the following year he was promoted to the Senior Principal Scientific Officer (SPSO) at the RAE, in 1957 the deputy chief scientific officer (DCSO) and head of the Supersonics Division, and finally the chief scientific officer (CSO) and head of the entire Aerodynamics Department in 1966. He retired from administrative duties in 1971, but continued work on an effort to build a very large supersonic wind tunnel for use by various European research departments, but this was not completed in his lifetime.

With the help of colleagues at the RAE and Imperial College London his book The Aerodynamic Design of Aircraft was published two years after his death, and is considered by many to be the classic text on modern aerodynamics.

In 1962 he was awarded the Royal Aeronautical Society's Silver Medal, and in 1963 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1964 Küchemann was appointed a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. He was awarded the Ludwig-Prandtl-Ring from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Luft- und Raumfahrt (German Society for Aeronautics and Astronautics) for "outstanding contribution in the field of aerospace engineering" in 1970.

His name has entered aeronautical lore in the form of the trailing edge anti-shock bodies used on the Handley Page Victor bomber, commonly referred to as "Küchemann carrots".

An amateur cellist, he joined the Farnborough Symphony Orchestra in 1946. He became principal cello and remained with the orchestra until 1971.

Talk:Dawn Summers

Foreign languages
What about adding something about her ability to read texts in foreign languages? Jonas Viper 21:40, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Is that a Season 8 development? I've been wondering why someone keeps adding Category:Fictional linguists. —Tamfang (talk) 18:26, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

 * The previous comment is from 2006 and Season 8 started in 2007, so it can't be that. (Also, I didn't notice anything like that while I was reading Season 8.) Svick (talk) 20:03, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Ah, in "Get It Done" she apparently reads (with difficulty) a text in Sumerian. —Tamfang (talk) 16:38, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * and in "Touched" she mentions reading Turkish. —Tamfang (talk) 03:20, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Foreshadowing of Dawn's Arrival
The arrival of Dawn Summers is a metaphor for adopted children. It was foreshadowed in cryptic dream sequences in seasons three and four. Faith said to Buffy in Graduation Day, Part Two, "Look at you, all dressed up in big sister’s clothes."

I don't think this had anything to do with Dawn's foreshadowing, partly because this wasn't a part of any dream sequence or prophecy, it was the dialogue just before Faith and Buffy had there big final battle of season three. I believe that has more to do with Faith and Buffy's relationship.PhoenixPrince 12:10, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * What about the Little Miss Muffet comment in Season Three?Noneofyourbusiness 15:22, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with that comment. When was it said?PhoenixPrince 12:12, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Whedon has revealed in a number of places (e.g. "Restless" commentary) that the dream sequences between Faith and Buffy were foreshadowing Dawn and the events of the Gift. -- Paxomen 15:19, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

I believe the comment was 'Little Miss Muffet counting down from 730.' Little Miss Muffet is Dawn (notice how the crazy guy in 'Real Me' called her Curds and Whey.) 730 is 365x2, meaning the two years between seasons 3 and 5. (Although the time between this comment and Dawn's arrival is only just over a year, if the seasons are each roughly a year long.
 * The 730 part is the time until Buffy's death in "The Gift".--Nalvage 07:18, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Or perhaps specifically the portal Dawn's blood opens. --OGoncho 19:32, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Whedon states on the "spotlight on Dawn" special feature on the season five disc 6 dvd, that the little miss muffet 730 comment is "two years to the day" foreshadowing Dawn. 84.69.165.188 01:22, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Berkeley
Although it seems more likely that she would be going to Berkeley City College, what's the source that she's going there rather than to UC Berkeley? Theshibboleth 00:04, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

History
Have just written frickin loads in the character history section. I think I may have been a bit long-winded and irrelevant, but her history just looked so bare and neglected that I felt I had to write something. Other pages that seem a little skinny are Tara and Giles. Compared to the length of Buffy, Spike, Angel, and Faith's pages, it just seems like people don't care about them as much.

Also, may have let my own fondness for the character seep into it. Somebody should proofread it and edit out any affection. It's just so hard not to! I can't help but get a bit opinionated while writing about these characters. Somebody please go through it and cut out the BS. I also think the "Dawn and the gang" section needs serious work and organisation. Any thoughts? How about treating it like a romantic relationship section, only on her friendships. Eg, Spike, Tara, Willow, Xander etc, etc.

Also, how about a quote list? Dawn had some great one-liners. Paul730 03:41, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

S8 Pictures
Can somebody find a picture of Giant Dawn? Preferably the cover to Buffy #4, if that's okay.
 * Done, but I used interior art from #1 instead, as to me it's more "canonical" than a cover. At the very least, it depicts actual eventsJeff-El 20:04, 10 June 2007 (UTC).

Thanks. She's such a moody cow in that pic! lol Paul730 22:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I think we should revert to the giant pic; the centaur cover is beautiful but perhaps not the image that most captures whatever storyline they're doing here.~ZytheTalk to me! 12:42, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup
The length of this article is much better, but it badly needs sources and references aside from the actual show. Think of it this way: If a character is not notable enough to be mentioned in mainstream press, then they're not notable enough for their own Wikipedia article, and instead should be limited to a paragraph on a "List of characters" somewhere. If they are notable enough for mainstream press mentions, then please add links to those articles here at Wikipedia. For more info, please see WP:V and WP:N. WP:FICTION is also a good resource, thanks. --Elonka 20:55, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I'll suggest that the excess material be moved to the Buffy Wikia. --OGoncho 21:01, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

 * What excess material do you mean exactly? Elonka said the length of the article had been improved, and that all it needs is references and sources.  I've found some sites referencing Dawn in pop culture, but they're all negative.  "Dawn is worst television character ever", "Dawn is a case of Cousin Oliver syndrome", etc etc.  I don't have the heart to write a section about Dawn being hated, but if somebody else wants to, it would probably improve the article.  I added the section on the Dawn figurines based on advice Elonka left on Wesley's talk page, and if someone could put something about Dawn's appearances in the novels/comics, that'd be great.  I would, but I don't really read the books.  Besides, if we're talking characters that don't need their own page, how about Veruca and the Chaos Demon?  I mean, seriously, who thought that the Chaos Demon needed his own page?  Paul730 19:48, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Spike's nickname for Dawn.
Ok, maybe I'm old and going a bit deaf - but I'm willing to swear in any court of law you'd care to mention, that Spike's nickname for Dawn was "Li'l bit", not "niblet". The Creeping Spleen 19:07, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

 * He calls her both. He also uses "platelet" sometimes. --OGoncho 19:23, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

He's also been known to call her bitty Buffy. I can't remember any others, but at least those four. I think lil bit and Nibblet are the ones he seems to use the most. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flootzavut (talk • contribs) 13:40, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Question about Soul
Since monks created her human form from an energy state does she in fact have a soul? She isn't created in a normal way. Her memories aren't real and are implanted. The definition of a soul is "the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal". So the conclusion is she cannot have a soul because she wasn't born and everything about her is artificial. She may have a human body and real DNA, but that just means she is a blank slate.

Scotland
This section makes absolutely no sense to me. I have seen all of buffy, but still can not make head nor tail of it. Perhaps someone who does could clarify what it actually refers to. if it is just a description of one event from an episode, then why does it belong here, what is it's larger significance? --Brideshead (talk) 12:06, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It's a description of events in the comic continuation. Maybe that could be clearer, but if you click on the links to the "episodes" mentioned, they'll take you to pages on comic arcs. --Nalvage (talk) 17:20, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Restless "appearance"
I see over and over again online references suggesting a dark-haired extra during Xander's dream sequence in Season 4's "Restless" as being Michelle Trachenberg before being cast as Dawn. It makes for an interesting story of a happy accident, but I haven't found anything official to corroborate recently. Yet, I could swear I once heard in a commentary on one of the DVDs something to confirm the coincidence. Is that something that might warrant being added as a BTS trivia section for this article? Medleystudios72 (talk) 08:37, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Only if we can find official confirmation, but I've only ever seen it as speculation. --Nalvage (talk) 14:19, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

My search for confirmation has continued. In watching the commentary for "Real Me," I noticed it was mentioned that Dawn was in "Restless," but that could easily be a mistake or a metaphorical reference. I'll keep looking...

Medleystudios72 (talk) 13:07, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I haven't heard the commentary, so I can't speak to that or if she did actually appear, but she is mentioned in Restless. A Dream-Tara quote (At least, I'm pretty sure it's Dream-Tara, the whole episode was a bit trippy and kinda blurs together) "Be back before [the] Dawn" JBK405 (talk) 05:49, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Since this is coming up again, in teh commentary for the episode Joss says that Michelle was on set while they were shooting Restless, but strictly as a homie of Sarah's (i.e. she was visiting and DID NOT shoot any scenes, not even as an extra). Millahnna (talk) 19:20, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Weird Sentence
She has the distinction of being the only character, barring Buffy, Willow and characters who only appeared in the last season, to appear in every episode after her debut.

...is that really a distinction when you have to bar that many things? It doesn't really make sense to me to have that sentence in there. 96.238.115.21 (talk) 04:49, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

 * I was just coming here to post the same thing. I'll pull it "barring" someone coming up with better wording.Aml830 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:15, 8 June 2009 (UTC).

 * Is it really barring that many things? Buffy and Willow were in every episode and the last bit speaks for itself. Dawn appeared in every episode in the last three seasons, after making her debut in the fifth season opener. (In fact, she's the only person aside from Buffy and Willow to appear in all those episodes, Xander and Spike missed one episode each, Anya missed quite a few, four, I think.) I'd say that's a fairly notable act but maybe it's a bit too trivia-ish for Wiki. Skteosk (talk) 18:10, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Those "who appeared only in the last season" need not be barred. Funny. —Tamfang (talk) 16:48, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Inaccurate Comic Reference
The "Literature" section of the article states that Buffy walked in on Xander and Dawn kissing in the Season 8 comic "Predators and Prey," but the correct volume is actually "Retreat." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saraqael (talk • contribs) 00:14, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Helmethead gecko

The helmethead gecko (Tarentola chazaliae), also known commonly as the helmeted gecko, is a species of lizard in the family Phyllodactylidae. The species is native to the northwestern coast of Africa, where it is present in Mauritania, Morocco, and Western Sahara. The environment in which this gecko lives is sandy and rocky desert with sparse vegetation, in a zone near the coast where the humidity is high.

Description
The adult helmethead gecko has a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 7.5 cm and a total length of about 11 cm. The head is covered with small granulations and the tubercles at the back of the head are enlarged and form a casque. The digits are flattened and spatulate. Dorsally, the helmethead gecko can be from light grey to dark brown, either uniform in color or with pale or dark blotches. The underside is light-colored.

Ecology
T. chazaliae is mainly nocturnal, and whereas most lizards are diurnal and have lost the rod structures in the retina that is typical of vertebrates, retaining only cones, this gecko has further adapted its eyes so that it has some degree of color vision at night. The gecko has developed a multifocal optical system which enables it to distinguish between light at different wavelengths. The pupils of this gecko are circular during the night but take the form of a pair of pinhole size pupils in each eye during the day. The precise function of this change is unclear, but it has been suggested that the pinhole pupils may be less visible to potential predators while the lizard is basking in the sun. Helmethead geckos are the first known vertebrates which are able to see color at very low levels of light, and their acute color vision at night is 350 times better than that of humans.

Etymology
The specific name, chazaliae, is in honor of the yacht Chazalie, which belonged to French naturalist Raymond Comte de Dalmas (1862–1930), who collected the holotype. The common name, helmethead gecko, derives from the shape of the head caused by some of the scales at the back of it.

Conservation status
The helmethead gecko has a relatively restricted range and is collected for the pet trade. The population trend is downwards as its habitat is degraded by coastal development, especially in Morocco, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being "vulnerable".

Justin Lee Collins

Justin Lee Collins (born 28 July 1974) is a former actor and radio and television presenter from Bristol, England.

Collins began his career as a comedian in the 1990s when he was in his late teens.

He then presented a number of UK TV shows. From 2003 to 2005 he hosted his own radio show on XFM. He was one of the duo presenting The Sunday Night Project (previously named The Friday Night Project), appearing alongside Alan Carr for Channel 4. He also hosted numerous specials on Channel 4 entitled 'Bring Back...', reuniting the cast and crew from shows and films such as Dallas, Star Wars, The A-Team and Fame. He then took on challenges to become a Mexican wrestler, a surfer, a ballroom dancer, a ten-pin bowler, a high diver and a West End star.

He later became a real West End star in Rock of Ages.

In 2012 he was convicted of harassing ex-girlfriend, Anna Larke. Subsequently losing several television contracts, leading to a career hiatus.

In 2014 Collins tried to return to UK screens, starring in the comedy horror feature film The Hatching alongside Thomas Turgoose and Andrew Potts. In 2015 he played a small role in the time-travel comedy Time Slips while hosting an independent radio show on Fubar Radio until 2016, then presenting short lived Football themed magazine show, FanTV UK.

Collins has since been inactive.

Early life
Collins was born on 28 July 1974 in Southmead, Bristol, to Anita and Danny Collins. His father was a self-employed electrician. Collins is an only child. In 1990, he left education at Speedwell Secondary School aged 15 with no qualifications and started working at Marks & Spencer as a warehouseman.

Comedy and theatre
Collins began his career in entertainment as a stand-up comic whilst still working part-time as a double-glazing window demonstrator. He won the Best New Comedy Act award at the Glastonbury Festival in 1997 and reached the finals of the BBC New Comedy Awards at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival the same year. Collins gave up stand-up comedy in 2002 to concentrate on TV and radio presenting, stating he intended to never return to the profession.

In 2007 and 2010, Collins won the category Funniest Man at Loaded's Lafta awards.

In 2008 Collins appeared as Amos Hart in the hit show Chicago, for which he rehearsed at the Cambridge Theatre. Collins said of the role, "I'm over the moon to be playing the sexiest part in the best show on the West End stage. I've already gone through a dozen pairs of tights."

From August 2011 to September 2012 Collins played Dennis Dupree in the West End production of Rock of Ages.

In 2013, Collins made a one-night-only return to stand-up comedy when he participated in "What’s the Fuss?", an event organised by Helen Lederer.

Radio
Collins began hosting a radio show on XFM in 2003, initially on Sundays at 1 to 3 am, later progressing to Saturday afternoons from 3 to 6 pm. He left in December 2005 and returned to host the Saturday 2 to 6 pm slot during April 2011. On 17 September that year, Collins sat in for Dermot O'Leary's Saturday show on BBC Radio 2. Collins was heard performing a Tom Jones impersonation on BBC Radio 1's Chris Moyles show in January 2008.

In 2014, Collins returned to radio with his own weekly show on Fubar Radio, an uncensored station featuring Andy Parsons and Mark Dolan. The show is also available via iTunes in podcast form.

Television and film
In 2002, Collins made shows for Bravo and MTV and became the host of the companion show for the first series of Strictly Come Dancing. He was replaced by Claudia Winkleman the following year and the show moved from BBC Three to BBC Two.

In 2005 and 2006, Collins presented The Games: Live At Trackside on E4 alongside Caroline Flack. The series was the companion show to Channel 4's sports-based reality programme The Games.

He was one of the presenters of Channel 4 and Paramount's Flipside TV.

He fronted a series for Channel 4 entitled The Convention-Crasher, aired in late 2007 and early 2008, in which he learned skills such as clowning and ventriloquism in an attempt to win prizes at professional conventions.

On 7 May 2007, he was a guest presenter on The New Paul O'Grady Show on Channel 4 when O'Grady took a break. Collins appeared on Top Gear with Alan Carr on 22 June 2008, for the Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car segment.

In June 2008, a show was aired on Sky One entitled Justin Lee Collins: 180, which followed his quest to be a professional darts player. In the show, he practised with Keith Deller and played in the BDO International Open on 15 June 2008. He lost in the first round 3-0 in legs to county player Stuart Bousfield, who was in the top 100 in the BDO rankings at the time.

He signed a £3 million deal with ITV for a show which focused on topical issues, but with a comedic twist, titled The Justin Lee Collins Show on ITV2 which ran from March to May 2009. That year he became the host of the Sky 1 show Oops tv, which shows home videos of people doing stupid things and things going badly wrong. That August he appeared on JLC Is, a six-part series on Sky 1 HD depicting the comedian taking on challenges to become a Mexican wrestler, a surfer, a ballroom dancer, a ten-pin bowler, a high diver and a West End star. The following month on 11 September, whilst being interviewed on BBC Radio 1's Chris Moyles Show it was announced Collins had signed an exclusive deal with Channel 5, and he confirmed he would therefore not be making another series of The Justin Lee Collins Show for ITV2. On joining Five he hosted the game show Heads Or Tails, where players could win up to £1m by correctly calling coin flips, and a chat show called Good Times which was cancelled due to poor viewing figures.

In  Justin Lee Collins: The Wrestler, Collins trains for 10 days in Mexico with a Mexican Luchador (Mexican wrestler) who fights under the name Cassandro, as an exotico. Justin adopts a rudo (bad guy) Luchador persona, El Glorioso, or the Glorious Lee One, with his own wrestling mask. His persona is given the blessing of El Hijo del Santo (The Son of Saint). Returning to London, Justin fights Cassan Dro in a Lucha libre event in the Roundhouse, ultimately losing and being unmasked.

In 2014, Collins was cast in British feature film The Hatching as Stan. It was directed by Michael Anderson. Collins stars alongside Andrew Potts and Thomas Turgoose. The following year he had a bit part in time-travel comedy Time Slips, directed by Stephen Hyams.

In August 2016 Collins made a return to TV, four years after his conviction, becoming a regular presenter on FanTV. The show attracted a small audience and was cancelled a few months later.

Music
After failing to be chosen to represent the United Kingdom in the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest, on 22 January 2010 Collins announced on RTÉ's The Late Late Show his intention to seek the nomination to represent Ireland. His proposed song was written by Boyzone star Ronan Keating. RTÉ confirmed on 9 February 2010 the song had not been shortlisted for the Irish final.

In 2007, Collins signed a three-album deal with Universal. Because of other commitments the first album (titled Another Side) was never released and subsequently the deal was called off. Collins stated in an interview with Reveal magazine (2012) that he would like to resume his efforts to release music in the future.

Writing
In September 2009 Collins' autobiography Good Times! was published by Ebury Press. An audiobook followed.

Marriage and children
In 2003, Collins married Karen Lee. She gave birth to their first child, a boy, in May 2005. In January 2008, Collins announced his wife had recently given birth to their second son. Collins separated from his wife in late 2010.

Harassment conviction
In November 2010, Collins began a relationship with Anna Larke. After their break-up, Collins was charged with harassment of Larke under Section 4 of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 (harassment causing fear of violence), and was subsequently tried at St Albans Crown Court, where he was sentenced to 140 hours of community service and to pay £3,500 prosecution costs.

Following the trial he sought help from a psychotherapist.

Libel Lawsuit
In 2017, Collins successfully sued British tabloid The Sun for £50,000 when they falsely reported his dismissal from Fubar Radio. The tabloid claimed Collins was sacked for sexism. The claim was proven false in a court of law and the paper were forced to issue a print apology. The statement read:

''“We wish to make clear that JLC did not behave in this way and has not been sacked from Fubar. We apologise to JLC and have agreed to pay him damages.”''.

Merge?
I'm thinking we should merge this and Stagecoach in Northants into an expanded Stagecoach East article. They appear to just be different trading names for what's legally the same company, and are treated as one by most reliable sources (Buses Magazine for example). In addition, sources for this one are proving tricky to find, and at present it doesn't meet the notability guidelines. Thoughts anyone? Alzarian16 (talk) 18:34, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

A Stone for Danny Fisher

A Stone For Danny Fisher is a serious early novel by Harold Robbins that looks at the effect of the Great Depression on a lower-middle class Jewish family. Written in 1952, it is set in the period up to 1944.

Plot summary
In the mid-1920s, a young Danny Fisher and his family move into a house in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. Within a few years, however, the Great Depression begins and Danny must use his one talent, boxing, as a means of supporting his family.

After a few years, the Fishers have lost their house and are living in a cramped apartment in the city. Danny continues to box, much against his father's wish, and dates a young Italian Catholic woman, Nellie Petito, much to the chagrin of his mother. Danny's boxing skills attract the attention of hoodlums, and he is offered a large sum of money to lose the Golden Gloves championship, a fight he could win easily and which would bring him professional fame as well as, he hopes, his father's acceptance.

Danny accepts the bribe but beats his opponent. After going on the run for two years in Coney Island, he returns to marry his sweetheart. Their early married life is marred by the death of their first-born child Vicky, in poverty.

Danny seeks out his former manager and goes into business with him as a black marketeer. Such activity brings him into contact with the very criminals he previously cheated.

The story concludes with Danny's death in counterpoint to arrival of new life.

The title is taken from the Jewish tradition of leaving a stone on the headstone when visiting a grave.

Film adaptation
The novel was adapted (albeit loosely) by screenwriters Herbert Baker and Michael V. Gazzo as the 1958 movie King Creole for Elvis Presley, co-starring Walter Matthau and Carolyn Jones and directed by Michael Curtiz.

The movie version homes in on the tension between the father, a cold, withdrawn figure and barely successful pharmacy employee and his son, a rebellious teenager whose failures in high school are largely a passive-aggressive response to his father, masking the need for the patriarch's approval.

The members of Dáil Éireann, the house of representatives of the Oireachtas (legislature) of the Irish Free State, are known as TDs. Seanad Éireann, a second chamber in the Irish Free State, had been abolished in May 1936.

On 29 December 1937, the Constitution of Ireland came into effect, with the state being renamed as Ireland. The Oireachtas established under this constitution was bicameral, and an indirect election to the new Seanad Éireann took place in April 1938, forming the 2nd Seanad.

The 9th Dáil was dissolved on 27 May 1938. The 9th Dáil lasted days. There were no by-elections during the 9th Dáil.

Composition of the 9th Dáil
Fianna Fáil, denoted with bullet, formed the 8th executive council of the Irish Free State, a minority government dependent on the support of the Labour Party. This became the 1st government of Ireland on 29 December 1937, on the coming into operation of the Constitution.

Graphical representation
This is a graphical comparison of party strengths in the 9th Dáil from July 1937. This was not the official seating plan.

Ceann Comhairle
On 21 July 1937, Frank Fahy (FF), who had served as Ceann Comhairle since 1932, was proposed by Éamon de Valera and seconded by William Norton for the position, and was elected without a vote.

Mark Eden

Douglas John Malin (14 February 1928 – 1 January 2021), known professionally as Mark Eden, was an English actor. He was best known for his portrayal of the villainous Alan Bradley in Coronation Street from 1986 to 1989.

Early life
Mark Eden was born Douglas John Malin in St Pancras, London, England on 14 February 1928.

Career
As Mark Eden, he appeared at the Royal Court Theatre and in repertory theatre in England and Wales. His television and film roles include the Doctor Who serial Marco Polo (1964) in which he played Marco Polo, a reporter in Quatermass and the Pit in 1958, Number 100 in The Prisoner in 1967, and Inspector Parker in the TV adaptations of several Lord Peter Wimsey stories in the 1970s. Having briefly played a short lived character named Wally Randle in 1981, he returned for a long-running role in Coronation Street, in which he played Alan Bradley.

Eden's time in Coronation Street came to an end in December 1989 after Bradley was killed by a Blackpool tram. In 2009, Eden unveiled a plaque at the tram stop where the scene was filmed.

After leaving Coronation Street, Eden said he received many casting offers for "psycho" roles. Before the show, Eden had often been cast in the role of an upper-class gentleman. Eden worked on the stage and in radio plays. He also worked with the Beach Boys and wrote a musical about them. His television appearances included playing Boucher in an episode of Poirot. His autobiography, Who's Going to Look at You?, was published in 2010.

Personal life
Eden was married three times. His first wife was Joan Long, whom he married in 1953. Their son, David (1957–2017), also became an actor; and David's daughter (Eden's granddaughter) Emma Griffiths Malin (born 1980) is also an actress. Eden and Joan divorced in 1959, and Joan later married the actor John Le Mesurier.

In 1971, he married Diana W. Smith, whom he had met that year; she later acted under the name Diana Eden. She was eighteen years his junior. They had a daughter named Polly. In 1993, Eden married Sue Nicholls, his co-star in Coronation Street and the daughter of Lord Harmar-Nicholls. They remained married until Eden's death.

Eden suffered from Alzheimer's disease in later life, and was admitted to hospital with the disease in November 2020. He died on 1 January 2021, aged 92.

Talk:Return statement

I don't really like the use of  as syntax for a metasyntactic variable in C++ as it is ambiguous with the template syntax (and with the relational operators). Alternatives? Wouter Lievens 22:06, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Lisp return
Doesn't just 'value' also return the value? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.169.240.67 (talk) 15:12, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Return vs GOTO
Added a 'citation needed' as return statements can potentially return control to *any* client code. Also, GOTOs are commonly used with labels, which are single positions within the code. I guess this citation might be hard to find, and perhaps what we really need is a reference to work looking into the effects of return statements. Law of Demeter might a good starting point for that. 124.121.159.141 (talk) 06:25, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Scala has no Return
Is there a discussion about Scala's "no return statement" choice? Also in shell, the last statement will be the return value. Why? It can easily break if, say a log is added to the end of this subroutine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.37.15.34 (talk) 06:33, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Perl
If value(s) omitted: returns undef or empty list (depending on context)

If return statement omitted: returns last statement value

PITA for you
Coroutines are significantly more involved to implement than subroutines, and thus yield statements are less common than return statements, but they are found in a number of languages.

I read the other day that the greatest trick of the C language was convincing everyone it didn't have a runtime.

 * Beautiful Native Libraries

"The greatest trick that C ever pulled was convince the world that it does not have a runtime".

 * Does C have a standard ABI?

C has no standard ABI in principle, but in practice, this rarely matters: You do what your OS-vendor does.

Interesting, it's that same damn mind trick all over again.

By the time your vendor defines the entire function call ABI—which is 90% marshalling and stack management conventions—sure, implementing the return statement pretty much falls in your lap.

I just finished lecture 3 of Philip Guo's CPython Internals, and coroutines are really not that tricky once you decide to give every function execution frame it's own value stack.

But your OS is never going to give you this for free, because an OS isn't going to allocate an integer automatic as a first class PyObject out there somewhere in the magic heap (the most obvious way to support more than a single active grow/shrink boundary).

So you don't get to use all the free stuff from the invisible C runtime and OS-reified system language ABI, and I guess from some perspective, that's kind of a PITA.

Lua takes pains to split the difference, and that is indeed tricky to pull off.

 * The Implementation of Lua 5.0

See Chapter 6.

The problem here is not with the yield statement, it's with wanting to have the best of both worlds at the same time.

And guess what? Concurrent multitasking of ambition without adding molasses leads to brain ache.

The mantra in C++ is that you don't pay for what you don't use.

 * CppCon 2016: James McNellis "Introduction to C++ Coroutines"

Wow, that only took 33 years. Look, Ma, no molasses! (But no grandchildren, either.) — MaxEnt 13:47, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

The meaning of the rightmost column in the table and the vertical alignment of text in that column

The rightmost column in the table has the heading "If value omitted, Return"; that column is for the definition (if any) of the behavior of a return statement that supplies no value if the function is defined as returning a value.

Is that not sufficient to indicate that it refers only to the behavior of return statements without a value, even if it doesn't happen to be vertically lined up with an example of such a return statement?

Note that:

 * 1) the first row of the table lists several languages where the return value need not be surrounded by parentheses and, as a result, no explicit example of a return statement without a return value was given (unlike PL/I, where clarification that a return statement without a value is just `return;`, rather than `return;`, is presumably necessary);
 * 2) that row also lists behaviors in several languages, so there are more lines of behaviors than there would be lines of examples of return statements even if an explicit example of a return statement without a value had been given. Guy Harris (talk) 19:07, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Titius (crater)

Titius is a lunar impact crater that is located on the Moon's far side, beyond the eastern limb. It lies to the west of the Lacus Solitudinis, a small lunar mare. Less than a crater diameter to the north east is the crater Bowditch, and farther to the southwest is Donner.

The rim of this crater has been nearly ruined by subsequent impacts, leaving only the northern and northeast parts relatively intact. There is a breach in the rim to the south, with the southeast overlain by Titius J and the southwest by Titius N and Titius Q, leaving only a short length of shallow, surviving rim to the south-southwest. The western rim is disrupted by three other small craters. The interior floor has some irregularities, but is relatively featureless and level to the northeast.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Titius.

Template talk:Flux

Shouldn't this be merged with current? — mark ✎ 22:07, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * cool, a new template! 165.230.149.169 22:10, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * It's not really new; it's a few months old. I think they're slightly different templates (flux is for temporary use on articles receiving a very large number of edits) but share some similarities.  I might be amenable to a merge.  JYolkowski // talk 22:12, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I can see some slight differences, but I would think that's only a reason to amend current rather than maintain another template that's largely redundant. Note that the creator of the more commonly used current specifically designed it for "current event articles that will likely experience numerous edits in a short period of time" (see Template talk:Current). — mark ✎ 22:17, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I've decided to be bold and merge the two. We'll see how that turns out...  JYolkowski // talk 22:24, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Looks good! Thanks for fixing it! — mark ✎ 23:28, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It seems that there is a strong desire to keep the current template in a state that doesn't really fufil it's original purpose. Therefore I've taken the best ideas that were rv'd from that template and combined them here.

To be clear: this only intended for, and is only useful for, those mad million-edits-an-hour artices eg the London bombings, 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake. Dan100 (Talk) 10:01, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * And possibly any current event article that does have numerous sections, yes? Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:50, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

As such, this is a prime potential vandalism target, and should likely be protected... +sj +  20:09, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Protected
Vandalized twice in one hour by different IPs... and not likely to need updating frequently. +sj +  20:18, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Let's not recommend section editing
Section editing doesn't solve any edit collision problems; in fact, if I recall, it actually introduced some nasty race conditions. I don't think we should be recommending it for heavily-edited pages. --Doradus 19:49, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
