GameWorks

GameWorks is a gaming-based entertainment center with a single location. It was owned by then-owner ExWorks Capital, each venue featured a wide array of video game arcades, in addition to full-service bars and restaurants. It was originally created in 1996 as a joint venture by Sega, DreamWorks SKG, and Universal Studios, with the company growing into an international chain. Two former executives subsequently acquired the Seattle location and reopened it in August 2022.

History
GameWorks began as a joint venture between the video game developer Sega and the film studios Universal Studios and DreamWorks, with filmmaker Steven Spielberg providing creative input. Skip Paul was GameWorks' first chairman and CEO, and Jon Snoddy headed the design team. Its first location opened in Seattle in March 1997 with many high-profile guests in attendance, such as celebrities Will Smith and Gillian Anderson and billionaire Bill Gates. DreamWorks sold its portion in 2001.

GameWorks filed its first bankruptcy in 2004. On November 3, 2005, Sega Sammy Holdings, formed following the 2004 merger of Sega and Sammy, bought the controlling interests of GameWorks. GameWorks filed its second bankruptcy in 2010; as a result, Sega Entertainment USA, the parent company at that time, closed seven GameWorks venues on March 29, in an attempt to focus on profitability and future growth. Two locations that closed, one in Circle Centre at Indianapolis, Indiana, and another in Irvine Spectrum Center at Irvine, California, originally opened as Sega City.

In 2011, GameWorks was sold to an investment group, HNR Capital. In October 2011, GameWorks acquired the assets of several Jillian's Billiards Clubs in California, Washington, and Virginia.

In May 2017, Oomba acquired GameWorks. In May 2018, Chicago-based ExWorks Capital took ownership of GameWorks.

On December 24, 2021, GameWorks announced that it would be closing all of its remaining locations, citing financial difficulties brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Greg Stevens, who served as the company's CEO from 2011 to 2018, subsequently reacquired the assets of the Seattle location with business partner Howard Brand, a managing partner at former owner HNR Capital. After some reorganization, the Seattle location reopened on August 3, 2022, after the closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

René Grousset

René Grousset (5 September 1885 – 12 September 1952) was a French historian who was curator of both the Cernuschi Museum and the Guimet Museum in Paris and a member of the prestigious Académie française. He wrote several major works on Asiatic and Oriental civilizations, with his two most important works being Histoire des croisades et du royaume franc de Jérusalem (1934–1936) and The Empire of the Steppes: A History of Central Asia (1939), both of which were considered standard references on the subject.

Biography
Grousset was born in Aubais, Gard, in 1885. Having graduated from the University of Montpellier with a degree in history, he soon began his distinguished career soon. He served in the French Army during World War I. In 1925, Grousset was appointed adjunct conservator of the Musée Guimet in Paris and secretary of the Journal asiatique.

By 1930, he had published five major works on Asiatic and Oriental civilizations. In 1933, he was appointed director of the Cernuschi Museum in Paris and curator of its Asiatic art collections. He wrote a major work on the Chinese Buddhist medieval pilgrim Xuanzang, particularly emphasising the importance of his visit to the northern Indian Buddhist university of Nalanda.

At the outbreak of World War II, Grousset had published his two most important works, Histoire des Croisades (1934-1936) and L'Empire des Steppes (1939).

Dismissed from his museum posts by the Vichy government, he continued his research privately and published three volumes on China and the Mongols during the war. After the liberation of France, he resumed his curatorship of the Cernuschi Museum and was also appointed curator of the Guimet Museum. In 1946, Grousset was made a member of the French Academy. Between 1946 and 1949, he published four final works, concentrating on Asia Minor and the Near East.

In 1952, Grousset died at the age of 67 in Paris.

Judgments
The British historian Christopher Tyerman points out that upon publication, Grousset's History of the Crusades came under criticism, on the one hand for not analyzing the political system of what Grousset considered to be a French state in the Levant and on the other hand for exaggerating or misrepresenting the cultural sympathy between overseas communities. The American historians Frederic Duncalf and John Life La Monte were particularly severe.

In 1981, the German historian Hans Eberhard Mayer estimated that Grousset's "History of the Crusades" was, among the general works on this subject, "the one in which chauvinism in crusade research raised its ugly head for a last time".

More recently, Grousset's successors have noted that his outlook was shaped by his ideas about France's colonial role. In 2001, fr:Joël Gourdon wrote: "René Grousset produced a work entirely dedicated to France's colonial role. He sees in the colonial adventure the admirable synthesis of the most sacred values for him: Christianity, the fatherland and the State, even republican. He projects this ideal into the Middle Ages and sees in the Crusades the first expression of this 'civilizing mission' which is that of eternal France."

In 2007, the French medieval historian Pierre Aubé expressed himself on Grousset in the following manner: "This historian, who knew how to rely on the best of the greatest orientalists of his time, whose erudition is of a rare solidity when it comes to establishing facts, is very oriented when it comes to interpreting them. His angle of vision is very marked by the colonialist utopia that prevailed in the 1920s and 1930s when he built his opus magnum."

For fr:Vadime Elisseeff, who succeeded him as director of the Cernuschi Museum, Grousset is "the last of the great classics, those for whom the “sense of history” was more a matter of psychology of beings than of the material conditions of existence, whose physical and moral impact on the lives of individuals had not yet been emphasized by the sciences. His works are valuable by the intelligence of the views and by facts presented in a clear and easily readable style.

Heteronomous language
Does not appear to be attested anywhere outside Wikipedia mirrors and forks. Single line definition does not make much sense. --Tabor 20:31, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Heteronomy with respect to languages and its opposite, autonomy, are concepts that are used in this paper, this paper, this introduction to Scots, this paper on Norwegian, and all of these books. However, I don't think that heteronomous language and autonomous language stand apart from each other.  These might do well to be merged somewhere.  Compare the situation with Ausbausprache - Abstandsprache - Dachsprache and Ausbausprache, Abstandsprache, and Dachsprache.  Uncle G 23:10, 2005 Jun 6 (UTC)
 * Comment. I've edited the page based on the definitions gleamed from the pages Uncle G cites above, so it should at least be comprehensible now. Nevertheless I've never heard this term (and I only know a completely different definition of "autonomous language"), so I'm not totally convinced this isn't a neologism.

Týr (band)

Týr is a Faroese folk metal band. They have been characterised as one of "the islands' two most successful metal bands". Their subject matter revolves almost entirely around Viking lore, mythology, and history, taking their name from Týr, the god of war in Norse religion.

History
Before Týr, Heri Joensen and Gunnar H. Thomsen formed their first band, Cruiser, at the age of 17. Streymoy also played with them for a short while. They later changed their name to Wolfgang. Although neither band released any albums, Wolfgang, who are still active, recorded an undisclosed number of songs that, according to Joensen, are "pretty much ready to release".

Týr formed in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1998. Heri Joensen met his old bandmate, Kári Streymoy, at a party in January in Copenhagen. Joensen suggested to Streymoy that they should meet up and jam. Streymoy initially declined, but later took him up on his offer. They were soon joined by another former bandmate, bassist Gunnar H. Thomsen, expanding the duo into a trio. In 2001, guitarist Terji Skibenæs joined the band.

They signed a worldwide deal with Austria's Napalm Records in early 2006, while signed to the Faroese record label Tutl. In September 2012, they signed a three-album deal with Metal Blade Records.

They began making music which was heavily inspired by Norse mythology, kvæði (Faroese traditional music), and heavy metal music in general. According to the band's frontman Heri Joensen:

"Týr's musical mission is to break down the walls that are erected between all the kinds of metal that have arisen over the years. Power, doom, black, progressive, gothic, viking, folk, ethnic and epic metal. Walls and labels do nothing but fill people with prejudice."

Accordingly, scholarship has found that the band's lyrics and imagery promote pan-Nordic ideologies, and draw on well established, transnational genre conventions from metal music; but has also suggested that the band's insistence on their Faroese identity, which has been fetishised by international audiences, could be "regarded as a form of self-exoticisation". The band's handling of traditional songs is characterised by fidelity to traditional melodies, but more complex and innovative handling of associated chord progressions and harmonies.

The band has been accused of promoting Nazi ideologies through their use of runes and other imagery appropriated by Nazis. The band responded to these accusations with the song "Shadow of the Swastika" on the album Lay of Thrym (2011), which in the assessment of Karl Spracklen, "attacks the far-right for appropriating...heathen symbols and images associated with pre-Christian northern Europe". Even so, scholars have, in the words of Catherine Hoad and Samuel Whiting, suggested that "through imagining the Viking as an ancestral, genetic category, the 'common past' of the Nordic people is constructed as a self-identity apart from other people" in the work of Týr. Likewise, Spracklen finds that "the themes in Týr's songs celebrate pagan identity, Viking identity and the hegemonic masculinity of the Viking warrior combined with the modern-day heavy metal anthem of being an individual".

The band released the song "Rainbow Warrior", a song about the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in response to their campaign against whaling in the Faroe Islands. Joensen defended the whaling in a debate with Paul Watson.

Tours
Týr performed at the Ragnarök Festival in 2007 and 2009.

They were part of the Paganfest tour in Europe and the U.S. in 2008, with Ensiferum headlining. Other bands on the tour included Eluveitie, Turisas in the United States, and Moonsorrow and Korpiklaani joined them on the European part of the tour.

In 2009, the band also took part in the "Black Sails over Europe" tour, supporting Alestorm, who were promoting their album Black Sails at Midnight.

Later, in 2010, the band would support Amon Amarth and Holy Grail on Amon Amarth's North American tour for select dates.

In January 2011 and 2013, Týr played on the 70000 Tons of Metal cruise ship event with 40 other bands.

In 2012, the band supported Korpiklaani on their "Manala" tour in the U.S. and Canada along with Metsatöll and Moonsorrow.

During April 2013, Týr joined Ensiferum, Heidevolk and others for the North American leg of the Paganfest tour.

The band took part in a European tour between 6 September and 14 October 2013 with Finnish folk metal band Finntroll and Icelandic band Skálmöld. The tour was called "Blodsvept over Europe".

Recent years

Singer Pól Arni Holm and guitarist Jón Joensen (Heri Joensen's brother) were part of the band while they recorded How Far to Asgaard but left soon after its release.

Terji Skibenæs joined after Jón Joensen had left the band. Allan Streymoy (Kári Streymoy's brother) took over singing duties for a brief time during which they released the single "Ólavur Riddararós". After Allan left, Heri Joensen took over the vocals. It was this line up which recorded Eric the Red.

Skibenæs left the band for a while after the release of Eric the Red. The band played as a trio for some time. In the summer of 2004 they were joined by Icelandic guitarist Ottó P. Arnarson for a very brief time. When Arnarson left, Skibenæs came back.

Kári Streymoy had a back injury in January 2008, which made him unable to tour until October the same year. Amon Djurhuus, a Faeroese drummer and student of Kári Streymoy, played the drums on the European part of the Paganfest, Merlin Sutter from Eluveitie filled for him on the US part and Daniel Ryan from Gigan on the Canadian part. After that for the festival tour in Europe Amon Djurhuus filled for Kári again. In October 2008 Kári Streymoy was ready to go again for the Ragnarök's Aaskereia Festival Tour.

Týr announced on 12 May 2013 via their official website as well as their Facebook, Twitter and Myspace pages that they had parted ways with longtime drummer Kári Streymoy, owing to the back injury he had received in 2008 which had affected his drumming. On 15 May 2013, they announced that George Kollias will record drums for their seventh album Valkyrja. Amon Djurhuus enters temporarily in the band, once again, for the tour with Finntroll between September and October 2013.

In August 2018, after 17 years with the band, Terji Skibenæs announced his departure, stating "There's no drama or anything going on between me and the others. It's just me not having any joy to play the music in the style of TÝR anymore. I want to thank Heri Joensen and Gunnar Thomsen for the all the time we had and I wish TÝR all the best in the future." The opening left by Skibenæs' exit was filled by former Nevermore and Satyricon guitarist Attila Vörös.

In June 2021, it was announced that Hans Hammer would be Attila Vörös' replacement.

Side projects
Current Týr lead singer, Heri Joensen, is working on a side project with the band Heljareyga. They released their self-titled debut album in 2010. All lyrics on the album are in Faroese. It was released first as a download on 12 February 2010 at digital retailers, but CD copies came later available at Tutl Records.

Heri also had the side project 'Surma' with Czech singer Viktorie Surmová. Their first and only album, The Light Within, was released on 1 November 2020.

Hans Hammer in addition to releasing solo tracks has his own band named Asyllex.

High evif
Delete - some high-school kids who like to high-five with the backs of their hands came up with Deep Philosophical Meanings for it and declared it a movement. FreplySpang (talk) 20:31, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Runner06 (talk • contribs) 20:40, 6 Jun 2005 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Runner06 (talk • contribs) 22:20, 6 Jun 2005
 * Do Not Delete- The popularity of the high evif is such that it deserves mention. However, I think the article would work better as a sub-section of the article on the high five. The trend is found almost exclusively in the mid-west and is most concentrated in North Eastern Ohio, thus it is not surprising that many are unfamiliar with it and its significance; the card game Euchre is another trend restricted almost exclusively to the mid-west; its article, however, is not up for deletion.
 * Delete. Unverifiable/original research. --Tabor 20:42, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unverifiable, probably a vanity page by the "inventors" of the gesture.  The nonsense about Randian Individualism is kind of funny, but we don't need grandiloquent trivia cluttering up the pristine pages of Wikipedia.  What we need is more pages about the larval forms of certain cards in Japanese games, and a page on each individual episode of McHale's Navy.  Oh yeah.  Frjwoolley 21:56, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Euchre wasn't invented by kids between January and April '05. I'd recommend doing some readings on argument by fallacy. --Scimitar 22:07, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * It certainly doesn't seem to make a difference who invented it. Pointing out that it was in fact invented by "kids" which, by the way, is not stated anywhere in the article, shouldn't detract from it's significance. On the contrary, given it's popularity, it would seem to increase it. -Do Not Delete.
 * Delete. A neologism and some original research. --Carnildo 23:48, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Neologism, not in real use, no Google hits. Quite possibly a prank. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:02, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Do Not Delete It is a legitimate trend that is growing.  I have participated.
 * — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.210.189.130 (talk • contribs)
 * Since when is a Google search the main criterion for determining whether or not a given practice is a legitamate social trend? It seems to me that many people who have no personal experience with the evif have done thirty seconds of research on Google, found nothing, and thought themselves informed enough to make a vote on this page. Runner06 (talk)
 * Everything in Wikipedia must be verifiable. Give me a good verifiable reference I can check out and I'll reconsider. The Google test is not the main criterion, but it carries some weight, and an article that cites no sources or references whatsoever is not enough to outweigh it. Dpbsmith (talk) 19:55, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, per dpbsmith. The author's written several other nonsense articles in the last few days that are up for deletion, so this shouldn't come as any surprise. --Idont Havaname 03:20, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * BJAODN. — Phil Welch 00:03, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I removed the last sentence, which was about the slower development of solid-state NMR in comparison to solution-state NMR. I think the speed of development is not relevant for this article, topic should be discussed in one of the NMR spectroscopy articles.

Yup, I agree

Original paper?
Who invented this, when did they first publish MAS? --Maxus96 (talk) 22:08, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

What is spinning?
The article says: "By spinning the sample (usually at a frequency of 1 to 70 kHz) at the magic angle..."

If the sample itself is being spun is there a reason why the rate of spin is not measured in RPM or RPS? The use of kHz to measure the rate of spin suggests something other than that the sample is actually being physically spun to me.--Davefoc (talk) 16:54, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It´s the sample that is spun. Physicists like frequencies (or angular velocities) better than RPMs (which are more engineer-talk ;-)). --Maxus96 (talk) 09:54, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. It was awhile since I wrote that and when I reread the article it seems pretty obvious that it is talking about physical spinning. I think that since the subject was difficult for me, I was worried when even things I thought I understood didn't quite seem right.--Davefoc (talk) 15:22, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

POV problem?
I'm not sure if this was the intention, but the large number of citations by the same author appears to violate the neutral point of view policy and possibly even represent a conflict of interest, since it heavily promotes that one author. Even if neither of these considerations apply, you can't justify fifteen citations for the statement "Edward Raymond Andrew had numerous publications on the subject of MAS"! Instead, a third party reference should be found. RockMagnetist (talk) 21:02, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Well, if they were indeed the pioneer of MAS then they do deserve a mention, including citing their original articles. But I agree, a more recent review article would be useful. Polyamorph (talk) 08:33, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

 * It is certainly appropriate to include refs 3 and 4, the ones that introduce MAS. And refs 5-19 would be appropriate in a biography of Edward Raymond Andrew, but in this article even the statement that he had numerous publications on MAS is inappropriate (probably the same could be said for a lot of scientists). It might make sense to apply the citations to specific milestones in the development of MAS, but only if other contributors were also cited. And then a third-party reference would still be needed or it would be original research. So I think it would be best to simply remove refs 5-19 (or at least archive them in some subpage of this talk page) as well as the sentence that goes with them. RockMagnetist (talk) 14:13, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree. Polyamorph (talk) 18:02, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Disagree with the above two viewpoints.

The point of view presented in the last two messages above is not a neutral point of view, as required by Wikipedia established standards; it seems to be severely biased against Edward Raymond Andrew; what is inappropriate is to eliminate the historical fact that he had numerous contributions at a time when the MAS field has just begun and was not yet recognized as a very important part of the NMR field. Moreover, his arguments with the later Nobel laureate Peter Mansfield at Nottingham over NMR Imaging should not colour the presentation of Edward Raymond Andrew's important contributions to MAS both in the early and later stages of the field. The views presented in this message are as close to neutral as can be made here without being unfair to the latter author who can no longer defend himself. One should also take into account the fact that as the Editor-in -Chief of the Journal of Magnetic Resonance (JMR) Edward Raymond Andrew has contributed much without prejudice to the publication of many high quality articles on MAS by many authors in this very prestigious international journal in the field of NMR. Biographical Memoirs, Fellows of The Royal Society: "Edward Raymond Andrew. 27 June 1921 – 27 May 2001: Abstract Raymond Andrew's career in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) began two years after the independent discoveries of the phenomenon by Edward Purcell of Harvard University (Purcell et al. 1946) and by Felix Bloch of Stanford University (Bloch et al. 1946) for which they shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1952. Andrew developed a wide spectrum of applications of the phenomenon of ‘motional narrowing’ in the NMR spectra of solids, and initiated an experimental technique, ‘magic-angle spinning’, which he expanded into the major research field of high-resolution NMR spectroscopy of solids.' He also made influential early and longer-term contributions to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), now of major importance in clinical medicine. His scientific work was notable for his close interweaving of its theoretical and experimental aspects. Andrew's exceptional powers of exposition assisted many others to understand and develop the sophisticated field of NMR spectroscopy'."

 * I have no reason for bias against Edward Raymond Andrew; I had never heard of him before I read this article, and I know nothing about his argument with Peter Mansfield. In a biography of Andrew (which you could create, if you like), it would be entirely appropriate to list his publications and quote the biographical memoir. But not here. You don't seem to have read or understood my reasons for not including the material in this article. I suggest you read my arguments again and look at the policy pages I link to. RockMagnetist (talk) 03:17, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

 * A couple of review articles would be sufficient and more in keeping with wikipedia policies, including WP:OR. We don't need to cite every single contribution a particular author ever made to the subject. Polyamorph (talk) 10:45, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Caspar Wistar (glassmaker)

Caspar Wistar (born Caspar Wüster) (February 3, 1696 – March 21, 1752) was a Holy Roman Empire-born glassmaker and landowner in Pennsylvania.

One of the first German colonists in Pennsylvania, he became a leader of that community and prospered in land transactions. He “arrived in Philadelphia in 1717 with nearly no money; at the time of his death in 1752, his wealth outstripped that of the contemporary elite more than threefold...an immigrant’s path to achieving the American Dream."

Family
He was the father of Richard Wistar, Sr. (1727–1781), glassmaker and landowner in Pennsylvania and the grandfather of Caspar Wistar (1761-1818), the physician and anatomist after whom the genus Wisteria is named. Another child, Rebecca Wistar, married Samuel Morris.

His brother, John (born Johannes Wüster) (1708–1789) emigrated to Philadelphia in 1727 and settled in the Germantown district. John was registered under a variant of the surname, “Wister.” To this day there exists two spellings of the family name. While Caspar anglicized his name to "Wistar", John spelled his "Wister". The two each founded prominent Philadelphia-area families, and the difference in spelling persisted.

Biography
Caspar Wistar, the son of forester Hans Caspar Wüster, spent his first 21 years in Waldhilsbach, a village in the Palatinate near Heidelberg under the reign of prince Johann Wilhelm, Elector Palatine (1658–1716). According to family tradition, he was born in the village's forester’s house. He grew up during the tumultuous Nine Years' War (1688–1697) and the War of the Spanish Succession (1702-1713) which caused hardships and instability for the people of the Palatinate due to invasions by the French and British.

Wistar served as a foresters' apprentice, but government reforms (particularly pay cuts for foresters) limited his professional opportunities, so he decided to emigrate to the United States. He left the Palatinate in 1717, forgoing his father’s hereditary title and position to seek out a new life across the Atlantic Ocean.

He arrived in Pennsylvania in 1717 (according to his memoir, with only nine pennies to his name). Upon his arrival, he was registered under the surname "Wistar". He worked at various manual trades, including soapmaking and the manufacture of brass buttons.

He became a British subject in 1724 and joined the Religious Society of Friends (the Quakers) in 1726. He married Catherine Jansen on May 25, 1725; they had seven children.

Glassworks
In 1739, Wistar established a furnace in southern New Jersey and began manufacturing window panes, bottles, and chemical apparatuses. After his death, the glassworks was run by his son Richard until 1781.

Narkomprod

Narkomprod or the People's Commissariat for Food Supplies, (translit. Narodny Commissariat Prodovolstviya, Наркомпрод, Народный комиссариат продовольствия) was the Commissariat of the Russian SFSR (Narkomprod of the RSFSR) and later of the Soviet Union (Narkomprod of the USSR) in charge of food supplies and consumer industrial goods.

The Narkomprod was responsible in June 1918 for the attempted organisation of 'committees of the poor' in provincial villages. This was an attempt to encourage a 'class war' in the countryside but it did not materialise, mainly because the peasants were not resentful of 'kulaks' (rich peasants) as there was a tendency for all peasants to have the same interests (for example, their own land ownership).

People's Commissars

 * Ivan Teodorovich (1875–1937) (Russian Иван Адольфович Теодорович), 1917-1917
 * Alexander Schlichter (1868–1940) (Russian Александр Григорьевич Шлихтер), 1917–1918
 * Alexander Zjurupa (1870–1928) (Russian Александр Дмитриевич Цюрупа), 1918–1921
 * Nikolai Bryukhanov (1878–1938) (Russian Николай Павлович Брюханов), 1921–1923 (of RSFSR) 1923-1924 (of the USSR)

Edgar Tolson

Edgar Tolson (1904–1984) was a woodcarver from Kentucky who became a well-known folk artist.

He was born in Lee City, Wolfe County, Kentucky as the fourth of eleven children and educated through the sixth grade. He worked as a carpenter and stonemason and was married twice, fathering eighteen children in all, one of whom is Paul Tolson, a local of Campton, who is also a gifted carver and sketch artist. Although Tolson began working in the tradition of the Appalachian woodcarvers before him, after suffering a stroke in 1957, he became a full-time woodcarver and artist, and his subject matter grew increasingly idiosyncratic.

Tolson first came to national attention through the Grassroots Craftsmen, an initiative of Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty that helped Appalachian craftspeople to sell their works. Ralph Rinzler of the Smithsonian Institution was impressed by Tolson's figures, and included them in the 1971 Festival of American Folklife. University of Kentucky professor Michael Hall also became Tolson's primary dealer at this time, and his work was included in the 1973 Whitney Biennial.

Tolson is best known for his "Fall of Man" cycle, a series of carvings portraying the story of Adam and Eve.

He died in Campton, Kentucky in 1984.

The Edgar Tolson Folk Art Library at Morehead State University is named after him.

Reg Harris

Reginald Hargreaves Harris OBE (1 March 1920 – 22 June 1992) was a British track racing cyclist in the 1940s and 1950s. He won the world amateur sprint title in 1947, two Olympic silver medals in 1948, and the professional title in 1949, 1950, 1951 and 1954. His ferocious will to win made him a household name in the 1950s, but he also surprised many with a comeback more than 20 years later, winning a British title in 1974 at the age of 54.

Early life
Harris was born as Reginald Hargreaves at 7 Garden Street, Birtle, Bury, Lancashire,. His mother, Elsie Hargreaves, a cotton weaver, remarried and Reginald took the name of his stepfather, an engineer and businessman called Joseph Harris.

Reg Harris left school without qualifications and his first job was as an apprentice motor mechanic in Bury, soon moving from the workshop to the salesroom. During this period, at the age of 14, he bought his first bicycle, and entered a roller-racing competition organised by the Hercules bicycle manufacturing company.

Amateur career and military service
His ability attracted the attention of other cyclists and Harris joined the Bury section of the Cyclists' Touring Club and then its racing offshoot, the Lancashire Road Club. In 1935, he won his first race, a half-mile handicap event held on a grass track in Bury, and also started competing in individual time trials.

Harris moved from the motor mechanics job to a slipper factory, then, in early 1936, to a paper mill which he felt would pay him enough in the winter to spend the summer training and competing. During 1936, he raced on grass tracks in Lincolnshire, then competed in and won his first events in conventional competition at Fallowfield Stadium in Fallowfield, Manchester.

In early 1937, he was confident he could support himself as an athlete, selling the prizes he won as an amateur, and left the paper mill to focus on the summer cycle racing season, returning to the mill the following winter (repeating the process the following year). He continued to win races and attract attention, and by the summer of 1938 was able to beat the existing British sprint champion. At the end of that season, he joined Manchester Wheelers' Club, and in 1939 won a major race in Coventry, leading to his selection for the world championship in Milan, Italy. He travelled to Milan and had familiarised himself with the Velodromo Vigorelli when World War II broke out and the British team was recalled to the UK.

Harris joined the 10th Hussars in the North African campaign as a tank driver but was wounded, transferred to the Royal Army Service Corps, and later invalided out of the services as medically unfit in 1943. He liked to joke that he was one of the few men to leave the army less fit than when he joined. Despite the judgment of the army medics, in 1944, he won the 1000 yd, quarter-mile and five-mile (8 km) national cycling championships. He retained the two shorter titles in 1945 and added the half-mile on grass. He was invited to race in Paris in 1945 and again impressed the crowds, and he was expected to do well in the 1946 world championships in Zürich, Switzerland, only to have his chances ruined by an over-enthusiastic pre-race massage. Harris's amateur world championship achievements were celebrated in 1947 when Cycling Weekly awarded him his own page in the Golden Book of Cycling.

By the time Harris won the world amateur sprint title in Paris in 1947, he was already employed and equipped by bicycle manufacturer Claud Butler and was testing the boundaries of amateurism. The cycling world expected that Harris would take three titles in the 1948 Summer Olympics: the sprint, the tandem sprint and the kilometre time trial, but three months before the London Games, he broke two ribs in a road accident. After hospital, with a few weeks remaining to the games, training, competing and winning, he fell in a ten-mile (16 km) race at Fallowfield and fractured an elbow. Completing the rest of his preparation in a plaster cast, he had to be satisfied with two silvers, being beaten by Italy's Mario Ghella in the final of the sprint, and partnering Alan Bannister to second place in the tandem sprint (timetable constraints meant Harris's place in the kilometre was taken by another rider, Tommy Godwin, who won a bronze medal). Two weeks later, he claimed a bronze medal in the 1948 world championships sprint in Amsterdam. He was named sportsman of the year by a poll in 1949, winning by 7,000 votes over the football player, Billy Liddell.

Professional career
On his return from Amsterdam, Harris turned professional under sponsorship of the Raleigh bicycle company. He was paid £1 000 a year with a bonus of £100 if he won a world championship, £50 for every grand prix and £25 for every British record. Harris was aware of his commercial attraction to race promoters and even as an amateur drove a Jaguar Mark IV. His earnings in the 1950s have been put at £12 000 a year. He dominated Raleigh's advertising for a decade and, despite coming from a sport with no great following in Britain, he was as familiar as Stanley Matthews and Stirling Moss.

In 1949 he won the world professional sprint championship in Copenhagen – a victory he repeated the following two years in Belgium and Milan. He then won a fourth and final world professional title in Cologne in 1954. He won the Sports Journalists' Association's accolade of Sportsman of the Year in 1950, and was runner-up in 1949 and 1951.

He retired in 1957 to devote himself to business interests, none of which suited his tastes or abilities. He managed Fallowfield Stadium, renamed the Harris Stadium; he was involved in various abortive ventures associated with Raleigh; and he started a 'Reg Harris' bicycle manufacturing business in Macclesfield which lasted three years before folding. He then worked in sales promotion for the 'Gannex' raincoat company, before working for two plastic foam producers. In the 1960s he owned and managed the Reg Harris Petrol & Motor Service Station on Wilmslow Road in Didsbury, Manchester, which is now the site of the Shell Petrol Station on the corner of Grange Road.

In 1971, he returned to racing, winning a bronze medal in the British championship in Birmingham after little preparation. With more training behind him, he approached the British championship in Leicester in 1974 in more confident mood, and beat Trevor Bull to win the title at the age of 54. In 1975, he returned to Leicester, but was narrowly beaten by Bull in the final and had to settle for the silver medal. He continued to cycle almost to his death.

Legacy
A memorial to his achievements can be found in the National Cycling Centre in Manchester.

Harris's achievements are marked annually with the Reg Harris Sportive, organised by his family and friends. The inaugural event on 25 August 2013 raised money for charities.

In popular culture, Harris is referenced in the Hancock's Half Hour episode 'The Junkman'.

Personal life
He was married three times. The first two marriages (in 1944 to Florence Stage (daughter of the former Bury F.C. captain Billy Stage), then to Dorothy Hadfield) ended in divorce. He married Jennifer Anne Geary in 1970. He died in Macclesfield, Cheshire, of a stroke, survived by his third wife, and was buried at St John's Church in the north Cheshire village of Chelford.

Raimbaut d'Aurenga

Raimbaut of Orange (Old Provençal: Raimbaut d'Aurenga; c. 1147 – 1173) was the lord of Orange and Aumelas and an influential troubadour in medieval France. His properties included the towns of Frontignan and Mireval. He was the only son of William of Aumelas and of Tiburge, Countess of Orange, daughter of Raimbaut, Count of Orange. After the early death of his father, Raimbaut's guardians were his uncle William VII of Montpellier and his elder sister Tibors.

Raimbaut contributed to the creation of trobar ric, or articulate style, in troubadour poetry. About forty of his works survive, displaying a gusto for rare rhymes and intricate poetic form.

His death in 1173 is mourned in a planh (lament) by Giraut de Bornelh, and also in the only surviving poem of the trobairitz Azalais de Porcairagues, who was the lover of Raimbaut's cousin Gui Guerrejat. It seems possible that Azalais' poem was composed in an earlier form while Raimbaut was still alive, because in his poem A mon vers dirai chanso he appears to contribute to the poetical debate begun by Guilhem de Saint-Leidier and taken up by Azalais as to whether a lady is dishonoured by taking a lover who is richer than herself. Aimo Sakari argues that Azalais is the mysterious joglar (jongleur) addressed in several poems by Raimbaut.

Frank Chester (politician)

Frank Leslie Chester (November 30, 1901 – August 13, 1966) was a politician in the Canadian province of Manitoba, who served on Winnipeg City Council and in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba.

Born in Winnipeg, Chester was educated in Vancouver, British Columbia, and returned to Winnipeg later in life. He worked as a hardware merchant, and served as an alderman in Winnipeg from 1947 to 1950.

He was elected to the Manitoba legislature as a Liberal-Progressive in the 1949 provincial election in the constituency of Winnipeg North, which elected four members by a single transferable ballot. Chester finished third on the first count, and was declared elected on the eighth and final count. He served as a backbench supporter of Douglas Campbell's government during his time in the legislature.

He did not seek re-election in the 1953 provincial election, but instead ran as a candidate of the Liberal Party of Canada for Winnipeg North in the 1953 federal election. He lost to CCF candidate Alistair Stewart by 5,911 votes.

Big Dada

Big Dada is a British independent record label imprint distributed by Ninja Tune. It was started by reputed hip hop journalist Will Ashon in 1997. It is best known for marketing of prominent British hip hop artist Roots Manuva, poet and playwright Kae Tempest, grime pioneer Wiley, rapper and designer DELS and Mercury Prize winners Speech Debelle and Young Fathers.

History
Big Dada's first release was Alpha Prhyme's 12-inch single Misanthropic, a collaboration between Luke Vibert and Juice Aleem in 1997. Over the following years, the label has released over one hundred and fifty records and garnered considerable critical acclaim, being described by Observer Music Monthly as "the very best underground hip hop label".

In 2007, Big Dada released the compilation Well Deep to celebrate their tenth anniversary. NME said the label was "not only a platform for the British urban underground but also attracts some of the most progressive wordsmiths and beat-scientists in the whole world... Big Dada are still pushing things forward." As the quote suggests, Big Dada is not exclusively a label for British acts. Their roster has also featured contributions from American hip hop artists including Bigg Jus, Busdriver, and Mike Ladd, as well as French hip hop group TTC. They also released debut albums by both Diplo and Spank Rock, as well as the comeback album from grime legend Wiley, who was so pleased with the record deal they offered that he recorded "50/50" in tribute.

On 8 September 2009, Speech Debelle won the 2009 Barclaycard Mercury Prize for her debut album Speech Therapy produced by Wayne Lotek. It is the label's third nomination, after Roots Manuva's Run Come Save Me in 2002 and Ty's Upwards in 2003. On 30 October 2014, Young Fathers won the 2014 Barclaycard Mercury Prize for their debut album Dead. It was the label's joint fourth nomination alongside Everybody Down by Kae Tempest and second Mercury Prize winning album.

Roots Manuva, one of the label's best-known artists, signed a new deal with the label in 2011. In the 2007 documentary for the label Well Deep, he said, "It's been a lovely relationship over the years... Big Dada's unique and it will always be unique because it's a philosophy, y'know? It's unique because it dares to stick its neck out and it's run by people who genuinely love music. It's not just a record label, it's a movement."

In 2021 Big Dada relaunched "as a label run by Black, POC & Minority Ethnic people for Black, POC & Minority Ethnic artists."

Talk:Homogeneity (disambiguation)

Confusing tag
I have tagged this article as confusing for a number of reasons:www.myspace.com/my_lipgloss_is_poppin I have many other concerns. Madmath789 13:15, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * "coefficient of homogeneity" mentioned but no precise definition is in evidence.
 * "..depart from this ideal lattice form.." - not clear what is meant by 'ideal lattice form'
 * Fig. 1 - what on earth does this represent? what are the scales on the axes? etc.

Disambiguation
There are lots of pages that link here, referring to various notions of homogeneity that are not explicitly identified on this page. Many of them refer to people - cultural, demographic, ethnic homogeneity - and come from such diverse disciplines as sociology, anthropology, politics and marketing. We probably need a series of articles to cover these various notions - but how many? The same is undoubtedly true of heterogeneity as well.--RichardVeryard 23:28, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Homogeneous (matter)
⅛n your name

is also used to define one set of properties.

Homogeneous vs. Homogenous
There seems to be some confusion in this article between the words "homogeneous" and "homogenous".

Homogeneous is the more commom term and it means “of the same kind or structure, of like composition”. Homogenous is used in biology to mean two organisms that are similar because of a common ancestry (as opposed to homoplasious which means similar becasue of a common environment)

teri ma ka bhosda —Preceding unsigned comment added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

Indeed, would it not be more appropriate to either split of homogenous which deals with a more specific case, or perhaps have it as a subsection at the end of the page? In any case all articles on this subject probably need checking, the article about homogeneity in Physics incorrectly uses homogenous throughout most of the article when homogeneous is actually correct. This page clarifies the difference http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1114842/ TomGibsonUK (talk) 13:02, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Paris (musical)
Is this the Cole Porter musical? I don't know if that is about the Trojan War or not, but that's the only show called "Paris" listed at ibdb. With no further information to go on -- who wrote it, when was it performed, where was it performed, who starred in it, any of this article is unverifiable. I asked the original poster to explain, but he/she has not. RickK 20:43, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC) *From the user's previous edits, I would suspect you won't be getting verification anytime soon, either. Delete. --Scimitar 22:10, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC) OK, thanks to dpbsmith and Uncle G, I'll withdraw my nomination RickK 23:54, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment what about this site: Paris the Musical? No real info there, though. --Etacar11 22:40, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Make mine a weak keep. --Etacar11 23:25, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep lousy article about not very notable musical and hope someone improves it. Some clicking on Google Groups in rec.arts.theatres.musical suggests that it is a musical by one Jon English of which someone commented "Unfortunately, Paris only exists as the concept album which was released around 1990." Googling on "Jon English Paris yields quite a bit of paydirt. There's probably an article here if anyone wants to write one. I don't feel like it. Ah, here's a bit about a 2004 staging in Melbourne. The concept album sold 50,000 copies and as for the Melbourne production, "Jon has chosen amateur theatre to stage the productions. The decision was easy. 'Simply because amateur theatre tends to do stuff that professional theatre shys away from' he says. 'There are a lot of Paris fans out there." Dpbsmith (talk) 23:22, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * It appears that this might have sprung out of a redlink in rock opera, added by . Going by that edit, try looking for "Jon English" and "David Mackay".  Do these two articles help? Uncle G 23:28, 2005 Jun 6 (UTC)
 * Comment The 1990 recording is apparently still available and has an Amazon sales rank of 33,000 which is not terribly shabby. Dpbsmith (talk) 23:37, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I originally thought RickK was thinking of Cole Porter's Fifty Million Frenchmen but I should not have doubted him... Cole Porter did write an early musical entitled Paris so we'll need a disambiguation page at some point. Dpbsmith (talk) 23:42, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Jon English is a notable Australian musician and he has been working on this project for sometime. I might have a go at cleaning it up myself. Capitalistroadster 00:26, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
