Eric Donaldson

Eric Donaldson (born 11 June 1947 in Bog Walk, Jamaica) is a Jamaican reggae singer-songwriter. He originated in Saint Catherine, Jamaica.

Biography
Born in Kent Village, about 2 miles from Bog Walk, Donaldson first recorded for Studio One in 1964, although producer Clement Dodd declined to release the material. In the mid-1960s he formed The West Indians with Leslie Burke and Hector Brooks, and they had a hit with the J.J. Johnson-produced "Right On Time" in 1968, going on to record with Lee "Scratch" Perry and subsequently changing their name to the Kilowatts, but without further success.

Donaldson then pursued a solo career, and submitted "Cherry Oh Baby" to the 1971 Jamaican Festival Song Competition, going on to win the competition and giving him a big Jamaican hit single. Donaldson has won the competition six times, in 1971, 1977, 1978, 1984, 1993 and 1997. "Cherry Oh Baby" has been covered by both The Rolling Stones (on their 1976 album, Black and Blue) and UB40 (on their 1983 album, Labour of Love). The riddim has remained extremely popular – over thirty cover versions have been recorded, including an update by Donaldson himself. Two of his festival winners ("Sweet Jamaica" (1977) and "Land of My Birth" (1978)) were written by Winston Wallace. In an online poll held in 2013 by the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission, "Land of My Birth" was voted the most popular winner in the contest's history.

Donaldson currently lives in Kent Village, Jamaica.

Roman Catholic Diocese of Bardstown

The Diocese of Bardstown (Dioecesis Bardensis) was a Latin Church Catholic diocese in the United States established in Bardstown, Kentucky on April 8, 1808, along with the Diocese of Boston, Diocese of New York, and Diocese of Philadelphia, comprising the former territory of the Diocese of Baltimore west of the Appalachian Mountains. The Diocese of Baltimore simultaneously became a metropolitan archdiocese with the four new sees as its suffragans. The title of the former Diocese of Bardstown changed to Diocese of Louisville with the transfer of its see from Bardstown to Louisville in 1841.

When founded, the Bardstown Diocese included most of Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. The geographical area was large, and today there are 44 dioceses in the area comprising the original diocese.

History
The first Catholic immigrants to the area came from Maryland in the year 1785. By 1796 it is estimated that there were 300 Catholic families in Kentucky. Among the early missionaries were Stephen Badin and Michel Barriere who set out on foot for Kentucky on September 3, 1793, sent by Bishop John Carroll of Baltimore. In April, 1794 Barriere left Bardstown, for New Orleans but Badin established the home base for his missionary journeys on Pottinger's Creek. For the next 14 years Badin travelled on foot, horseback and boat between widely scattered Catholic settlements in Kentucky and the Northwest Territory. After the departure of Barriêres, for three years Badin was the only priest in the whole of Kentucky. In 1797 M.J.C. Fournier and, in 1799, Anthony Salmon joined Badin, but the latter was killed by a fall from a horse nine months after his arrival, and Fournier died in 1803. In 1805 he received permanent help with the arrival of Charles Nerinckx.

The Dominicans arrived in Springfield in 1805. The Sisters of Loretto were founded in Marion County in 1812, that same year, Sisters of Charity of Nazareth were founded near Bardstown. A French colony arrived at Louisville in the year 1806 and settled near the Falls of the Ohio, to engage in the milling business, utilizing the falls for power. Their first church was built in 1811; Badin was the first pastor, and continued as such until 1817.

In 1808, Bardstown became a diocese in its own right, when Benedict Joseph Flaget was appointed by the Holy See as the first Bishop of the newly established Diocese of Bardstown on April 8, 1808. This was the largest diocese ever formed in the United States and comprised an area now covering 10 modern states, including Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Michigan, Indiana and others. But Flaget opposed the appointment and traveled to France in an effort to have it reversed. He was unsuccessful in this effort. On his return trip to the United States, Flaget brought other early Sulpician missionaries to America: Simon Bruté, Guy Ignatius Chabrat, Anthony Deydier, and James Derigaud. The first two also became bishops in America. Upon his arrival, Flaget was consecrated a bishop by now-Archbishop Carroll on November 4, 1810, in a ceremony at the Baltimore Cathedral, now a basilica. So only three years after his appointment did Flaget arrive in Kentucky, and the following year he returned to Baltimore with Badin to discuss land title and other problems.

Upon taking office, Flaget found himself charged with the pastoral care of the western frontier of the United States, having the assistance of seven priests. Saint Thomas Seminary was established in 1811, and Saint Joseph College in Bardstown in 1820. The college was closed during the American Civil War and the building briefly served as a hospital for Union soldiers. Saint Mary College was founded in 1821. Before it was closed in 1976, it was the third oldest Catholic college for boys in the country.

The Diocese of Bardstown established its first church, Saint Thomas Parish, within four years of its founding. The diocese eventually increased the number of parishes to 23, and the number of priests from six to 36 within the first 25 years of its founding. The cornerstone of historic Basilica of Saint Joseph Proto-Cathedral was laid on July 16, 1816. Many of the paintings and interior decorations were donated by Pope Leo XII, King Louis-Philippe of France and others. The former cathedral of the Diocese of Bardstown, it is now a parish church. Flaget was responsible for a growing network of congregations.

John Baptist Mary David (who had been with Flaget in Kentucky since 1810) was ordained a bishop and named Flaget's co-adjutor in 1817, but for two years he tried to refuse the difficult position. He briefly succeeded Flaget in 1832, but he resigned less than a year later, when Flaget was again appointed to head the diocese.

In 1841, the diocese was transferred from Bardstown to Louisville and was renamed the Diocese of Louisville with its Cathedral of the Assumption. Later it was raised to Archdiocese of Louisville. The Diocese of Bardstown, no longer a residential bishopric, is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.

Pope Benedict XVI's visit to the United States in April 2008 celebrated the 200th anniversary of the 1808 creation of the new dioceses and the elevation of Baltimore to an archdiocese.

Talk:Alton Brown

Picture
Kind of makes him look like Big Brother or something, no? I think maybe it should be changed to a different PD pic, perhaps? 24.34.94.110 (talk) 01:57, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

MacWorld Article
The MacWorld article was listed in the external links section, and had language in the article body which referred to the article, but did not link. An anonymous editor made the word "article" in the text link. reverted, pointing out that it was already linked. I have re-reverted for the following two reasons: --TreyHarris 21:06, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) I'm not aware of any rule against linking twice to the same thing in the same article.  In fact, the guidelines I've seen suggest that you do link a second time when the second link is some distance from the first.
 * 2) I myself, upon first reading that text, went off to Google in search of the mentioned article, and only when I had read it and returned to Wikipedia did I notice the external link.  I think when you refer to an external source, it makes perfect sense to link to the external source.  It's much more user friendly.
 * 1) If you want to get picky, he didn't write the article in Macworld either - will make the change after I register for an account!
 * I, like TreyHarris, googled for the article - didn't see it in the external links which is why I added the link - will change that back when I am no longer anonymous as well!
 * You're applying internal link policy to external links. They're two totally different things. See External links, specifically the section "How to link". Note that there is no mention of inline external links. It's customary to pull all external links to the end of the article, not to include inline external links in the article text. – flamurai (t) 23:08, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

I'm not certain I'm entirely tuned in to the discussion, but I keep seeing "not sourced" reverts, so I've sourced it (admitedly, too much). If someone else wants to clean up the sources, I encourage you to do so (or for that matter, though I hesitate to mention it, clean up potential copyvio that I haven't fully looked into). It's a start. — Chris ( t c ) — 10:02, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Commercials
Hi all, just saw a new Alton commercial where the beloved science based host of many an entertaining show is expounding the benefits of Grape Juice. I can't find the reference for the commercial, so I don't want to add it in the main page, but I know someone can find that reference. -- 13/11/2008, 9:19pm EST ecknaft

See the Welch's Grape Juice commercial at the company website. I don't know how to add it as a reference. NBK1122 (talk) 15:13, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Sourcing
All these additions need to be POV and sourced, especially if it is something like he is well known for so and so by so and so. Pegasus1138 Talk 03:45, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Motorcycle
Aplogies, I'm not a regular here, but I wanted to point out a probable inaccuracy. http://www.altonbrown.com/adventure/knowledge/motogear.html claims he's got a 2005 BMW 1200RT (the mention appears in an image, not in the text). This conflicts with the wiki page which says it's a BMW R1100RT. 216.231.3.166 19:13, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I checked out www.bmwmotorcycles.com (which presumably has 2006 model names) and some motorcycle review sites (for 2005 models) and the most accurate description of his bike is "2005 BMW R 1200 RT" with spaces around the 1200 being consistent with BMW's usage. I'll make the change. 216.231.3.166 17:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Made the edit as per immed. above. There is no wiki page for the R1200RT so I made it not a link. The link to the motorcycle picture was for an older model so I just pointed it at the picture of Brown's actual bike on his site. That's all for now. 216.231.3.166 18:08, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

JKR, Fred the monkey and Cubetoons
I've moved the info about JKR and Cubetoons to a new "In popular culture" section. I'm not sure they're notable enough (evidenced by my two reversions of it yesterday), but after Omallystwin made the change five times in 24 hours, I dug further (instead of reporting it as WP:3RR) and found that Cubetoons may, perhaps, have a slim chance of being notable enough. It does have a wiki article (although JKR isn't relevant, and Fred the monkey probably should be a candidate for deletion). Thoughts? Travisl 14:32, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

 * i belive that both fredthemonkey and omallystwin are both more than notable as they both have a fan base in the millions, fredthemonkey should be even more notable than cubetoons. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Omallystwin (talk • contribs).

 * The original entry needs to be pruned to meet the requirements presented by WP:V and WP:LINK. There has been no evidence that JKR is famous (no Wikipedia article and a Google search for him is flooded by references to J. K. Rowling) and with an Alexa rating of over 1,900,000 it is unlikely that Fred the Monkey would survive an AfD, let alone be considered notable. --Allen3 talk 15:17, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Does the article really benefit from the fact that JKR is an Alton Brown fan? Hypothetically, if Tom Cruise mentioned that he liked the show, would that be significant enough to include in the article?  I'm OK with whatever consensus we reach -- I could go either way -- but at this point I'm leaning towards removing it, per the Avoid trivia sections in articles guideline. Travisl 16:06, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. Just because the article on cubetoons is (barely) notable doesn't mean that it's notable that JKR is an Alton Brown fan. Looks like all but one editor agree that it's dubious at best, so I took it out. Kafziel Talk 15:45, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

im sure alton would be more than happy to know that someone who themselves has a fan base in the millions (jkr) is a fan of alton. this will keep getting reposted as i belive that is is more than noteworthy. please stop trying to delete this post. also i am going to get round to making a fred the monkey wiki as you "so called experts" deleted the last one. go to fredthemonkey.com and check it out yourself and stop being so arrogant. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Omallystwin (talk • contribs) 20:48, October 24, 2006 (UTC) (UTC)

 * You appear to be missing the point of the above conversation. The suitability of the addition is based on the question of how important is JKR and can this importance be verified via reliable sources.  In addition, Wikipedia policy requires the person wishing to add material be the one to furnish the citations to prove verifiability.  Without the needed citations, there is no way to tell JKR from any other fan and the addition is either giving undue weight to a non-notable fan or serving as a means of promotion for JKR's websites.  --Allen3 talk 21:45, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

regardless off that it is still a valid point and it is not promoting fredthemonkey, it is pointing out the fact that alton brown has influenced a lot of people including internet celebs.this is a positive thing so stop deleting it.
 * The consensus has convinced me. The fact that someone famous likes Alton Brown doesn't make it important enough to include the fact that they like Alton Brown. Let the continued reversions of Omallystwin's edits continue. Travisl

stuff the consensus, ill keep reposting it and so will all my friends, your all arogant and have no wider view other than your own. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Omallystwin (talk • contribs) 22:40, October 25, 2006 (UTC) (UTC)

 * Omallystwin: I'm offering a trim-down on the JKR addition as a comprimise. Please end this pointless arguing and reverting ... it is making you look like a troll, or somoone trying to promote a barely notable web-comic.  BigFatDave 17:04, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

 * It looks like, in accordance with WP:DE, we've gone through the steps of
 * 1. Reverting
 * 2. Reverting and asking for discussion and sources on this page
 * 3. Continued to attempt to engage in dialog, referring to WP:V, WP:LINK, WP:AVTRIV, WP:CITE, WP:RS, WP:NPOV, and WP:NOT.

 * I think this puts us at step 4, Request an WP:RFC or other impartial dispute resolution. Can someone who knows this better than I do get this ball rolling? Travisl 22:43, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

 * An RFC has been opened at Requests for comment/Omallystwin and is awaiting certification. --Allen3 talk 12:32, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Left or Right-Handed?
As is currently cited, Alton's plug for his knives does indicate that he's left-handed. However in the Good Eats episode "Soup's On", Alton is showing his "nephew", Elton, how to use a knife and he states "As you approach the board, we will take whichever hand we would ordinarily write with—mine's the right, yours is the right—and we pick up the knife" and clearly holds up his right hand.. Can anyone confirm which is correct? ShortBus 22:08, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Maybe he's left-handed, but uses his right when cutting. Lefties using their right hands like that is unusual, but not uncommon. Hey, check out the pic at the top of that page. If that's a pic of him cutting (and it probably is), he's using his right hand to hold the knife. I don't know why the plug seems to indicate he uses his left hand to cut, though. Could be an error. Someone might have to email him about that. Jinxmchue 07:03, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

 * No Need. In Good Eats episode "What's Up, Duck", he clearly states that he is Right-Handed. He also states the same in the episode "Flat is Beautiful III - Flounder". Also, I have reviewed the Shun Knife video, and he clearly cuts with the knife in his right hand. In the entire video, I only see him holding the knives in his left had when displaying them, or in the one scene when he shows proper washing methods. NipokNek 12:11, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

 * However in his sandwich episode he asks his "sister" Marsha to pick up a left handed panini grill. He should be at least stated as ambidextous. 68.125.109.31 17:16, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

 * And in that episode, he's trying to keep her away so he can have some quality time with Elton in the kitchen. He wants her to look for a left-handed panini grill so she will be away that much longer. LafinJack 08:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep in mind that he went to culinary school and it is standard for professional chefs to be trained how to cut and chop with both hands. They do that so that if they cut themselves on one hand, they can continue with the other hand. So it's possible that he may have been seen to use his left hand for cutting as some point even if he is right-handed. (Biochemike 05:39, 20 March 2007 (UTC))

After chef school did he actively work full-time a while cooking in restaurants, and if so, under anyone particularly good? 18-24 months of culinary school itself, even with a well motivated student, is hardly sufficent to prepare an accomplished chef. You would have enough basic skills to begin as a prep cook in a fine dining restaurant, but it would still take several years and survival in the brutal trade to season and work up to a true chef level, if even. Speed, taste, presentation, short-cuts, buying, budgetary and management skills (and in today's world good entrepreneurial intuition) as the rites of developing bread-and-butter experience doesn't come easily or cheaply. Only after that, do signature dishes and reputation arrive. My guess is, he prepares carefully his homework and with the aid of tv prepares one dish extra-skillfully much like someone working properly with a Gilbert chemistry set. It does seem on the fly with Iron Chef that his commentary is brilliant and belies a great deal of culinary knowledge that delves into arcane and little known facts and techniques, but whether he could do them himself that fast and properly is an unknown. It sounds somewhat like the student with a fascination for organic chemistry who got A's but couldn't practically do a bunch of bench work on the fly mainly because that part wasn't his interest or experience. Just curious, as to his methods. Either way he accomplishes his intent in a most interesting and high energy, humorous way and is a genuine tv personality with all rights for his efforts. 209.101.236.168 (talk) 06:31, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

68.125.109.31 ... do you fall for the "go get me a left-handed hammer" trick a lot? BigFatDave 00:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. the "left-handed panini grill" thing is along the same lines as making someone go hunt up a box of grid squares, or a bottle of round wax, or a fur-covered credenza. It's a practical joke. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.84.19.246 (talk) 01:52, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Naming Convention
I've noticed that the article variously refers to the subject by the names "Alton" or "Brown", depending on the section (and likely the author). I'm of the opinion that the article should be edited to use only one or the other (as well as the full name) for consistency. Personally, I'd lean toward "Alton" as that's what I would tend to use in discussing his show, but if people prefer "Brown", I won't object. --Beezhive 04:31, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

 * The use of his surname is the preferred option as per Manual of Style (biographies). --Allen3 talk 12:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks. I knew it had to be around somewhere, but I didn't stumble across it in my (admittedly short) search. ---Beezhive 22:51, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Apple products?
''Additionally, Brown frequently features Apple-branded computers on Good Eats. Although the Apple logo is usually masked, the computers' unique appearance makes them quite noticeable.''

While I haven't seen every episode, I've seen many of them, and I'm very familiar with Apple products, and I do not recall a single Apple product appearance on the show, covered up or not. Tool Time, sure. Good Eats, not so much. This sounds like an ad to me. LafinJack 06:45, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I too have never noticed Apple products on Good Eats. Now, on Iron Chef America, the bank of monitors that Alton uses are definitely Apple flat panel monitors but the logos on the back are blocked out. Perhaps that is what the editor was referring to? Malson 17:47, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I have noticed Apple products on a number of shows. . . usually laptops. An example is in "give peas a chance" where he shows the demonic little boy an animation about peas on his laptop, only to get peas tossed all over the machine. I read an interview (probably the same as the one referenced elsewhere on this discussion page) and he endorses Apple products wholeheartedly. All the same, I'm not sure if it's really that important to make a note of this in the article. I too have seen a number of episodes (probably over half. . . slightly addicted), and while Apple computers are present in many it's not exactly obvious all the time. By no means is it blatant product placement or advertising. In fact I'd say the show takes great care to avoid this, as evidenced by all product labels being hidden in refrigerators, cabinets, and even on shelves in the grocery stores, etc. --NTJ 14:10, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Even some of the very first episodes of Good Eats have Apple products in them. In "Art of Darkness", the computer on the desk at the very beginning is an iMac G3 (pic here). -lee 08:13, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

You can see the apple logo decal on his car as it drives away in the pizza episode. Greg Bard 10:45, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

So what is the point? Why does his preference in computer brands matter? If he was using Samsung Monitors would that have to be included? All the Apple talk would appear to qualify as trivia, unless it rises to the point of actually being a active hobby/endorsement/advocate etc. For example his love of motorcycles is appropriate since he has noted his love of motorcycles. Boufa (talk) 03:55, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Unitaskers/Multitaskers
I've removed the reference to "Milk Made" in the section listing the "unitasker" kitchen devices to be seen on Good Eats. The sentence in question cited his using a vanilla bean splitter—in fact, it is a bean frencher. Though this little gadget is not in wide use in most household kitchens, it is used (as its name suggests) to make, for example, French-cut green beans. — Paper  Truths ( Talk ) 01:49, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't think the piercing meat tenderizer is strictly a unitasker, as it can also be used for docking pastry. --68.230.227.230 (talk) 20:34, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

entitled
I've reverted the change of entitled to titled. Entitled was used properly, see http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/entitled -Superbeecat 07:15, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Shun Knives advocate?
Can someone more experienced with the whole Wikipedia thing add the fact that Alton Brown advocates Shun Knives? He went so far as to put out a Good Eats-esque informational piece advocating the knives and giving some tips on maintenance and suchlike.

71.105.240.19 19:25, 10 October 2007 (UTC)EL October 10th, 2007

 * Not sure that this is notable. He advertises for lots of companies, but I don't see anything encyclopedic in that.  — bbatsell   ¿?   ✍  19:30, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Might be worth noting Alton's Angles -- a series of Shun knives bearing AB's logo. I have one, the 3.5" vegetable knife.  While it's not citable, a clerk at a local cutlery shop said they were made to AB's specifications for what he wanted in a knife.  Some additional research may be warranted.  -FeralDruid 20:52, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

 * True enough; also might look into the line of GE appliances that he designed a few years back. — bbatsell   ¿?   ✍  21:15, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I've added a small section on Alton's Angles to the article. I'm looking for additional sources beyond the one provided.  Oddly, the Shun web site provides a bio of Brown, but says nothing about the knives.  (Rather, says nothing about why Brown designed the knives.)  -FeralDruid 22:27, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Found an article in which Brown comments on the oven he helped design for GE. -FeralDruid 22:31, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Trivia section
Here's what was till a few minutes ago (when I deleted it) the trivia section. Most if not all of this strikes me as utterly superfluous, but somebody who disagrees about this or that item may wish to integrate it into the article. -- Hoary (talk) 08:51, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Brown was the keynote speaker at the 2006 Institute of Food Technologists Annual Meeting & Food Expo on June 25 in Orlando, Florida.
 * Brown was on the cover of and wrote an article for Guideposts Magazine in August of 2006.
 * Brown was mentioned in an episode originally aired on November 122006, of Aqua Teen Hunger Force titled Global Grilling.
 * According to an interview at eGullet, Brown's favorite bands are A3 and Mocean Worker and his favorite artists are Mark Ryden and Symon Chow.
 * According to Brown's website, on March 12, 2007, he conducted a video chat with International Space Station Expedition 14 Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria lasting about 20 minutes.
 * Brown is an avid watch collector, sporting different pieces from Rolex (Sub Date), to IWC and Panerai.
 * In the popular MMORPG Everquest II, an NPC character in one of the cooking areas of the city of Kelethin happens to be named "Altan Brownwing", an obvious reference to Brown.
 * Brown was referenced in an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, called "Global Grilling."

Tattoo Inclusion
I restored the information about Alton's tattoos, listed as "trivial and unsourced". While the triviality is debatable, the unsourced claim is not, as the information referred to the television shows where the tattoos are featured. Tattoos (and perhaps more importantly, what a person choses to have tattooed on their body) are an extremely important part of a person's personal life, and I think a one-to-two sentence inclusion of that fact in an encyclopedic article offers an important glimpse into said personal life without detracting from the encyclopedic nature of the article.Wyntyr (talk) 06:06, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Tattoo mistake?
I just saw that episode of ICA where the honey bee tattoo is shown and I highly doubt that it is an actual tattoo. It was clearly a temporary tattoo since the tattoo was much more shiny than the rest of his arm. consider editing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.26.64.72 (talk) 03:03, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Teacher?
I could swear they used to say he was a science teacher before learning cooking, what happened to that? Urban myth? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 01:19, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't find any evidence to suggest that he was a science teacher. But a lot of people say he is like a science teacher, or is their favorite science teacher. Belasted (talk) 03:58, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Welch's reference
Just curious. Why was the reference to Alton Brown becoming a spokesperson for Welch's deleted? In my view, because Brown is publicly known for his expertise on food and beverage, appearing in advertising for a beverage is significant. (Especially when the advertising in question replicates the same mannerisms and style that Brown uses on "Good Eats.) Also, the reference cited to the Welch's announcement about Brown's hiring notes that he is doing more than just advertising, he is disseminating information about the product's healtfulness. (Whether that information is accurate is not germaine to this discussion.)

Also, the advertising campaigns of other celebrities are mentioned in their Wikipedia articles. (See Bill Cosby, Jerry Seinfeld, Yogi Berra et al.)

Thank you for your time. — Michael J  04:00, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Cinematographer ?
According to IMDb, he has never been a cinematographer. Okki (talk) 09:42, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Is Alton Brown a chef
Sure, Mr. Brown has a culinary degree, everyone knows that. But has he ever worked as a chef? Has he ever run a kitchen? There is much more to being a chef than a degree from the New England Culinary Institute. Where has he worked? Where has he cooked? What kitchens has he run?

131.107.0.77 (talk) 18:26, 17 February 2010 (UTC)Aaron Frank 2/17/2010

Adding a link to a site of public opinion is NOT a violation of a biography. He is a public figure and therefore subject to the opinions of the public. A cited source is a cited source.

WP:BURDEN-ing
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=113624708

Brown launched the quirky program to break out of the staid cooking show format featuring people behind a cooktop. The camera chases Brown from scene to scene as he encounters oddball characters and explains the science behind baking, roasting and other kitchen mysteries. He credits '90s-era kids show Pee-wee's Playhouse as one of his inspirations. "Laughing brains are more absorbent," he says.

"I think a lot of food shows, especially when we started Good Eats back in the late '90s, they were still really about food. Good Eats isn't about food, it's about entertainment. If, however, we can virally infect you with knowledge or interest, then all the better."

http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/02/05/an-ode-to-alton-brown-s-good-eats.html

One part Monty Python and one part Julia Child, with a dash of Mr. Wizard, the Good Eats curriculum stretched beyond the dump-and-stir teaching method employed by most major TV chefs. Brown distilled complex scientific concepts through skits and a colorful array of recurring characters. “My mantra was to educate people—to actually give them the know-how they could use—and to do it in a very subversive kind of way,” says Brown, a theater major who later in life went to culinary school. “I would entertain them, and I was going to teach them whether they knew it or not.”

Additional quote from that article: "(What other chef would use Tinkertoys to explain sugar crystallization?)"

By the way there are tons more such references, but the idea that humor and entertainment are a part of the show is pretty much obvious and common sense. -- Avanu (talk) 04:34, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

this could benefit from some touchup
I greatly enjoy watching Brown's shows when I encounter them, but I'm not so fanatic as some who pop in here. So, could I ask them to keep a proper editorial eye here?

The reboot/"sequel" squib refers to 2018 in the future tense. I've seen bits of the current series, so this certainly needs attention. Start here: https://www.thrillist.com/news/nation/alton-brown-good-eats-is-returning

I get the impression his music career is on-going.

The quotation on Brown's faith seems both defensive and overlong. I'd say cut about half the verbiage.

We have no idea where/when he met DeAnna. I don't like calling her "the ex-wife," but can't decide between "previous" or "former" as improvement. ("First" maybe?)

The source supporting talk of Ingram is primarily about Brown's rescued dog "Scabigail." Could something more specific PLEASE be found?

I do like the thought that Brown considers himself a cook rather than a chef, sort of an engineer-or-tech dichotomy. Weeb Dingle (talk) 21:17, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Language! >_<
I've read about Mr Brown's Christian beliefs and his fondness for the Bible, so I was surprised to hear the salty language that is peppered throughout the Quarantine Quitchen episodes that I have seen. In addition to his religious beliefs, he has a healthy following of kids, too, does he not? Has he or anyone in the industry addressed this incongruence? Thank you for your time, Wordreader (talk) 23:16, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Residence?
Greetings, The article here states that Brown lives in Marietta, Georgia. However, on the last episode of Quarantine Quitchen that I watched, he told viewers that he, his wife, and presumably the dogs, were moving to New York City. Did that never happen or did they move there for a time, then return to Georgia? I'm curious. Thank you for your attention, Wordreader (talk) 18:19, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Albert Trapp

Albert Friedrich Trapp (died January 9, 1953 ) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1951 until his death.

Trapp was the son of Wilhelm Trapp, a German immigrant. In 1913, he married Charlotte Arnhold. He served on the council for the Rural Municipality of Brokenhead, also serving as reeve, was a school trustee and helped found the Brokenhead Agricultural Society.

Trapp was elected to the Manitoba legislature in a by-election held in St. Clements on October 24, 1950, following the death of the previous member, Nicholas Stryk. He easily defeated candidates from the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation and Labour Progressive Party, and served as a backbench supporter of Douglas Campbell's government.

Trapp's time in the legislature was brief, as he died in office in Beausejour in 1953. His son, A.A. Trapp, also served in the legislature in the 1950s.

Talk:Killer language

Loaded term
This seems to be a pretty loaded term. Is there any way to NPOV this? --Tabor 21:08, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * It is a loaded term. Certainly languages do not injure, kill or otherwise affect other languages. This is simply anthropomorphizing; it’s just a way of looking at the situation. In reality, it’s the laws, policies and attitudes of the dominant culture in regard to the weaker culture and its language. I suppose that anthropomorphizing makes it easier (or more interesting) for some people whose minds work in a certain way.
 * In answer to your question, I don’t see any way to NPOV this (except, perhaps, by adding appropriate explanations). —Stephen 06:34, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * i've done a cleanup on the article - cut out the ranting/repetitiveness, cut the strong NPOV section in the original toward the bottom, etc. Kasyapa 22:00, 29 January 2007 (UTC)Kasyapa
 * I edited your revision Kasyapa because of a number of grammatical errors, and an added line in your introduction which raised a NPOV flag. I reverted some sections that worked better as they were and removed also, a number of repititions of "proponent" which I felt was unnecessary. -- Kerowren (talk • contribs • count ) 22:39, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Kasyapa
 * Kerowren - the problem with your edits is that they themselves come close to non-NPOV-making. They appear to endorse this theoretical (and by no means universally accepted) concept as objective fact. My use of "proponents" accomplished an outline of the concept of killer languages without an appearance of endorsement. Kasyapa 06:07, 30 January 2007 (UTC)Kasyapa
 * Also, the "Social implications of language death" section is non-NPOV. It more resembles propaganda than something for wikipedia. I'm not going to get into a revert war on this, but the entry as you have edited is NPOV, and I'll tag it as such. There's nothing wrong with stating things in terms of what a theory's proponents believe. Thus I could say "string theory proponents claim that quantum phenomena can be explained on the basis of multidimensional vibrating etc. etc." without implying anything negative or positive about the theory. I do not know if you're a believer in the "killer language" concept (or some associated network of concepts), but your edits suggest it.Kasyapa 06:16, 30 January 2007 (UTC)Kasyapa.

Merge suggestion
I added a merge suggestion tag for several reasons:
 * The term in not in popular use among academics. See these google results: linguistics "killer language" (about 600 hits)
 * Compare that to: linguistics "language death" (about 57,000 hits)
 * The essence of this definition of a killer language is 'a majority language that causes language death for a minority language'. The material in the article adds little to language death and possibly the sources can be merged and a mention of the term
 * (Some academic speak ahead) The definition of a 'killer language' is unclear. It is defined as a language that 'kills' a mother tongue--which is a person's first language. In fact, language death is most common on the societal and not individual level: the process is typically that an immigrant or person in a colonized country speaks a native tongue and later generations choose to learn the new language instead. Converting mothertongue to something like 'the historical language of a group of people' and clarifying what is meant by 'at a cost' would fix this...though I think this would be best explained in the language death article rather than repeating it here.

To vote on this, click on the link on the article page template. Antonrojo 15:37, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Dubious
Critics of the killer language concept generally object on naturalistic grounds - that languages evolve naturally over time and that all are not equal, both intrinsically and situationally. They also disagree on philosophical grounds, criticizing the so-called killer language concept as a post-modern, Marxist, or feminist construct.

The part I have bolded is ridiculous. How could this concept be post-modern, feminist, or Marxist? What on Earth does feminism have to do with language extinction? Sounds like the editor meant "a leftie construct" and combined in one sentence the three things he hates most. For him post-modernism, Marxism and feminism are apparently pretty much the same thing (any form of obscuring the simple, honest truth of the Bible and/or Reaganite economics); I've noticed this weird idea in other right-wing Anglo-Saxons. --91.148.159.4 (talk) 14:58, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

The first part is also problematic. Which linguist said that languages are not equal "intrinsically"? Is this supposed to mean that, say, Cherokee is inherently worse than English?--91.148.159.4 (talk) 15:05, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Indeed, this has to be reworked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.61.72.172 (talk) 18:19, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Lillington, Warwickshire

Lillington is a suburb of Leamington Spa, in the civil parish of Royal Leamington Spa, in the Warwick District in the county of Warwickshire, England. Historically a village which existed before the time of the Domesday Book (1086), it was incorporated into the borough of Leamington in 1890. Lillington is a ward of Warwick District Council and Royal Leamington Spa Town Council.

Geography
Lillington itself has two main areas – the new centre based around Crown Way which contains shops, dry cleaners and a post office. The area was predominantly built as a council house estate from 1950 onwards, and contains three tower blocks. The tallest of these, the fifteen-storey Eden Court, standing at the highest point of the estate, dominates the skyline and can be seen from south Leamington Spa, Radford Semele and for miles outside Leamington. The second, and older area, contains the former village with the parish church of St. Mary Magdalene, the manor house, some Victorian terraced houses as well as estates of predominantly semi-detached houses built since 1930.

Campion Hills
The Campion Hills are the highest area of Leamington, rising to an altitude of 97m (318 ft) above OD. Situated to the north of, and above Newbold Comyn park, they offer a view over the whole town. Sited here is Leamington's transmission tower which relays TV signals from Sutton Coldfield and broadcasts local commercial radio station, Free Coventry & Warwickshire. Its Severn Trent water treatment plant serves the whole Leamington area. Warwick District Council runs a BMX track on the hills.

Bins Brook
The Bins Brook is a mainly culverted watercourse that runs south into Leamington. Just inside Lillington, on the Leamington town centre side adjacent to the Midland Oak, is a fenced area of meadow plants in a man-made depression. This excavated area is normally dry, but fills from the Bins Brook if it overflows during flash floods, to reduce the risk of local flooding to property.

The Midland Oak
The Midland Oak by the junction of Lillington Avenue and Lillington Road marks the supposed very centre of England. The original oak is thought to have dated from the 16th century. Having died, it was removed in 1967, which allowed the Lillington Road to be straightened. Its successor was planted in the 1980s, from an acorn collected from the original.

Prehistoric and early remains
In the 1930s prehistoric elephant and woolly rhinoceros remains were found in sand and gravel pits in Cubbington Road, near the site of the present Lillington Free Church. Some of these are displayed in Warwick Market Hall Museum. Stone Age remains have also been found there. Roman artefacts and burials have been discovered in the area of Highland Road and Braemar Road.

Lillington Stud Farm
Lillington was once well known as a centre for horse-breeding at the stud farm owned by Sydney McGregor (1889–1970). McGregor's best known horse was probably April the Fifth, which won the Epsom Derby in 1932. The farm buildings and house stood at the end of Epsom Road. After 1970, the area was developed for housing, with many of the new roads having racing-related names.

Education
The local schools are Lillington Nursery and Primary School, Telford Infant and Telford Junior Schools. The nearest secondary school is North Leamington School. A Sure Start Children’s Centre opened in late 2006, adjacent to the 1950s-built community centre, and Lillington Library on Mason Avenue.

Churches
The Church of England parish church of St. Mary Magdalene in Vicarage Road retains some Saxon work, but was largely rebuilt between 1847 and 1884. The late Perpendicular tower also remains, with a contemporary bell cast around 1480. With two seventeenth-century bells and five more dating from 1927, the present ring of eight bells was formed. They were re-hung by Nicholsons' of Bridport in 2007.

The Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady, in Valley Road next to the Public Library, was consecrated in 1963. It has notable stained glass in the 'Dalle de verre' style, designed by Dom Charles Norris of Buckfast Abbey, and made at Prinknash Abbey.

Lillington Free Church is on the north side of Cubbington Road, close to The Holt.

Civil parish
In 1901 the parish had a population of 1,241. The parish was abolished on 1 April 1902 to form "Leamington".

Nearby places
Lillington adjoins Cubbington to the north.

Vital capacity

Vital capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after a maximum inhalation. It is equal to the sum of inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and expiratory reserve volume. It is approximately equal to Forced Vital Capacity (FVC).

A person's vital capacity can be measured by a wet or regular spirometer. In combination with other physiological measurements, the vital capacity can help make a diagnosis of underlying lung disease. Furthermore, the vital capacity is used to determine the severity of respiratory muscle involvement in neuromuscular disease, and can guide treatment decisions in Guillain–Barré syndrome and myasthenic crisis.

A normal adult has a vital capacity between 3 and 5 litres. A human's vital capacity depends on age, sex, height, mass, and possibly ethnicity. However, the dependence on ethnicity is poorly understood or defined, as it was first established by studying black slaves in the 19th century and may be the result of conflation with environmental factors.

Lung volumes and lung capacities refer to the volume of air associated with different phases of the respiratory cycle. Lung volumes are directly measured, whereas lung capacities are inferred from volumes.

Role in diagnosis
The vital capacity can be used to help differentiate causes of lung disease. In restrictive lung disease the vital capacity is decreased. In obstructive lung disease it is usually normal or only slightly decreased.

Formulas
Vital capacity increases with height and decreases with age. Formulas to estimate vital capacity are:

$$ \begin{align} vc_{female} = (21.78 - 0.101 a ) \cdot h \\ vc_{male} = (27.63 - 0.112 a ) \cdot h \\ \end{align} $$ where $$vc$$ is approximate vital capacity in cm3, $$a$$ is age in years, and $$h$$ is height in cm.

Talk:The Bartered Bride

Met–Juilliard version
A New York Times article, "'Bartered Bride' a Fine Start to Marriage of Met and Juilliard" (which I archived with WebCite) reviews a version staged by the Metropolitan Opera and Juilliard School. I noticed it on the NYT front page (not too far below news of the Second Going of Lance Armstrong and such) and quickly remembered That One Well-Received Wikipedia Article I Noticed on FAC That One Time.

Perhaps not significant in the grand scheme of the opera's history, but enjoy it I guess. --an odd name 14:40, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

German premiere was prior to Mahler Hamburg 1894
We’re saying Gustav Mahler led the German premiere, in Hamburg in 1894. Yet there’s evidence it was performed in Berlin in 1893 – see and.

This and this say Mahler conducted it in Hamburg in 1894 but make no claim to it being the German premiere. It's not claimed that even the 1893 Berlin performance was the German premiere.

We need to dig further. --  Jack of Oz   [Talk]  08:02, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Overture
The article in stating that the overture was written first misses the fact that all the themes of the overture appear in the Act 2 finale. This begs the question as to whether the Finale Act 2 was composed before the overture.Bkesselman (talk) 11:13, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Redid my edit on the overture citing a source, though it needs incorporating properly. The overture is famous for using only the music of the Act 2 finale, and listening to a recording or analysing a score will easily show this.Bkesselman (talk) 11:08, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
 * This level of detail is unsuitable for a lead (see WP:LEAD) but could, if properly cited go in the main body of the text.  Tim riley  talk   13:29, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Translation of Title
Anthony Powell in The Military Philosophers (Chapter 2) has a Czech colonel comment:
 * 'The heroine is not really a bride, but a fiancée,’ explained Hlava. ‘The English title being not literal for German Die Verkaufte Braut.’

One assumes that The Fungible Fiancée was rejected for bathos. Thomas Peardew (talk) 08:04, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Many titles are misleading, but common. The German "Braut" isn't only on her wedding day, but means "wife-to be" in a broader sense. This opera was performed in English under the current title, not some perhaps more literal translation which could come up in a footnote. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:37, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks Gerda Arendt: I assume you are familiar with German. I wonder if the Czech title carries the same ambiguity? I note that the article already mentions that in France it is - perhaps a bit more correctly - la Fiancée Vendue.Thomas Peardew (talk) 10:36, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

 * There is precedent for flexible translation: I understand that À la recherche du Tom Peardew is known in English as Remembrance of Things Past. –  Tim riley  talk   15:39, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Settlement offer

A settlement offer or  offer to settle is an offer to resolve an outstanding issue or account. This may involve a statutory offer to compromise in a civil lawsuit. In either case, it involves communication from one party to the other suggesting a settlement, or an agreement to fully and finally resolve the outstanding issue, account, or dispute.

United Kingdom
In England and Wales, offers to settle are governed by Part 36 of the Civil Procedure Rules. The rules were significantly changed in 2015 to reflect developments in case law. These changes included provision for a settlement offer to be time-limited and to be automatically withdrawn if not accepted by a specified time. One factor leading to change was an Appeal Court hearing in the case of Gibbon v Manchester City Council (2010), where "the central question raised [was] whether Part 36 embodies a self-contained code or is subject to the general law of offer and acceptance insofar as it fails expressly to provide otherwise".

An offer of settlement may be called a Part 36 offer, Calderbank Offer, Calderbank Letter,  or Offer of Compromise.

A Part 36 offer must be evidenced in writing.

Under Scots law, a "pursuer's offer in settlement" plays a similar role "in promoting and encouraging early settlement of cases".

United States
In the US, evidence of settlement discussions generally, and of settlement offers specifically, is generally inadmissible in court. This is a policy-based exclusion, intended to encourage the settlement of cases out of court, thus freeing up the resources of the court system. In many jurisdictions, written agreement between the litigants may become binding agreements pursuant to the rules of procedure.

Arizona
In Arizona, the Rules of Civil Procedure 80 governs binding settlement agreements in civil court and rule 69 of the Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure governs binding agreements in family court.

Connecticut
In Connecticut an offer of compromise is governed by Connecticut General Statute 52-192a. An offer of compromise is a pleading that gets filed with a court to settle a case for a specific amount of money. If the opposing party accepts the offer the case is over. An offer of compromise can first be filed 180 days after the date of service in standard negligence cases and 365 days in medical malpractice cases. An offer of compromise can add a significant amount of money to a case. Interest runs at a rate of 8% over the offer amount and relate back to the date the lawsuit was filed.

Florida
In the US state of Florida the offer of a judgment and demand for judgment in negligence-based torts are governed by Title XLV (Torts) Chapter 768 (Negligence): 768.79  "Offer of judgment and demand for judgment". It is also governed by rule 1.442 of the Florida Rules for Civil Procedure "Proposals for Settlement". This process involves making an offer by either party and how the judgment amount affects whether legal fees and costs will be awarded.

Australia
Like the United Kingdom, Australia may call settlement offers Calderbank offers, or offers of compromise, pursuant to rule 20.26 of the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules.

A Calderbank offer can be made in writing or orally. Oral offers may create evidentiary issues such that less weight is given to the offer. An effective offer can be made before action. Calderbank Offers and Calderbank Letters often have a major impact on the allocation, by courts, of legal costs between parties.

Nolwenn Leroy

Nolwenn Le Magueresse (born 28 September 1982), known by her stage name Nolwenn Leroy, is a French singer-songwriter, musician, and actress.

Originally classically trained (violin and opera singing), she rose to fame after winning the second season of the French television music competition Star Academy in 2002. She has since recorded eight studio albums and scored two number one singles, "Cassé" and "Nolwenn Ohwo!", on the French charts. In 2012, her album Bretonne was certified two times diamond for sales exceeding one million copies.

Leroy is fluent in English, having spent a year in the United States as an exchange student. She sings in many languages, including French, Breton, English and Irish.

Leroy has received numerous awards and nominations. In January 2015, she was ranked 17th on Le Journal du Dimanche's 50 Most Loved Celebrities in France, making her the top female singer on the list since December 2012. She was appointed an Officer of the Order of the Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture in 2021.

Early life
Leroy was born in Saint-Renan (Finistère) in 1982. Leroy's parents left Saint-Renan when she was four years old. After living in Paris, Lille, and Guingamp, her mother, Muriel Leroy, and her younger sister, Kay, settled with Leroy's grandparents in Saint-Yorre. Her mother divorced from her father, professional footballer Jean-Luc Le Magueresse, in 1993.

Nolwenn studied at the "Collège des Célestins" in Vichy. When Leroy was eleven, her music teacher noticed her musical talents and encouraged her to learn the violin. At the age of thirteen she won "Les écoles du désert", a contest sponsored by the Cora supermarket chain, which allowed her to travel with a humanitarian mission from Gao to Timbuktu, Mali; she later claimed this had a profound influence on her.

In July 1998, Leroy was awarded a scholarship by the Vichy Rotary Club to travel to Hamilton, Ohio, United States, as an exchange student. While attending Hamilton High School, she took music lessons at the Performing Arts School and became fluent in English. When she returned to France, she began classical singing classes at the Vichy music conservatory. In 2001, she enrolled in the University of Clermont-Ferrand to study law for a potential alternative career to music.

2002: Star Academy
After watching the first season of Star Academy broadcast on TF1 in 2001, Leroy was impressed by Armande Altaï, a singing teacher and one of the show's judges. She subsequently joined Altaï's singing classes in Paris for over six months. In 2002, Nolwenn was selected for the second season of Star Academy, but she was also given the part of Scarlett O'Hara in the French stage musical Autant en emporte le vent (Gone with the Wind) by Gérard Presgurvic. Leroy ended up choosing Star Academy over the musical. As a contestant on the show, Leroy spent four months in a castle located in Dammarie-lès-Lys, and followed acting, dancing and singing classes. On 21 December 2002, she was declared the winner ahead of fellow finalist, Houcine Camara.

2003–2004: Eponymous debut album
Leroy's first album, Nolwenn, was released in March 2003 and was certified platinum by November for sales exceeding 300,000 copies. In 2006, the album was certified two times platinum by the Syndicat national de l'édition phonographique (SNEP) for more than 600,000 copies sold. Both the album and the first single "Cassé" topped the charts in France and Belgium. Three other songs from the album were released as singles: "Une Femme cachée", "Suivre une étoile" and "Inévitablement". Leroy went on her first solo tour in France, Belgium and Switzerland in late 2003 to promote songs from the album.

2005–2008: Histoires Naturelles
Leroy's second album, Histoires Naturelles, was released on 5 December 2005. It was produced by Laurent Voulzy and Frank Eulry. The album's lead single "Nolwenn Ohwo!", co-written by Alain Souchon, Voulzy and Leroy herself, topped the French charts one week after its release. The second single was the title track, "Histoire Naturelle". Music videos were made for both songs; the video for "Histoire Naturelle" expressed the main theme of the album with Leroy being portrayed as natural history museum exhibits. Of the other single releases, "Mon Ange" was distributed digitally while "J'aimais tant l'aimer" and "Reste Encore" were promotional-only. The album reached platinum status with sales exceeding 400,000 copies. Leroy performed songs from both Histoires Naturelles and Nolwenn on her second solo tour, which started in September 2006. Leroy's first live album, Histoires Naturelles Tour, was subsequently released in late October 2007.

2009–2010: Le Cheshire Cat et Moi
Le Cheshire Cat & Moi was a project that began in 2007, co-written by Leroy and Teitur Lassen, with contributions from Jonatha Brooke, Michelle Featherstone, Mike Errico and Rupert Hine. It was arranged and produced by Lassen, and recorded in Sweden and the Faroe Islands. The album's lead single, "Faut-il, faut-il pas ?", was released in November 2009 along with a music video directed by Yoann Lemoine. With the album, Leroy presented "a lighter sound than on previous releases" and she was given the opportunity to write all the lyrics. The album was released on 7 December 2009 and was later certified gold. A tour entitled "Le Cheshire Cat & Vous" to promote the record was held in 2010.

2010–2012: Bretonne
Leroy released a fourth studio album, Bretonne, on 6 December 2010. Cover versions of traditional Celtic songs such as "Mná na h-Éireann", "Tri Martolod", "La Jument de Michao", and contemporary songs such as Christophe Miossec's "Brest" were included on the album. Most of the songs related to Brittany, the singer's birthplace. Four of them were sung in Breton ("Tri Martolod", "Suite Sudarmoricaine", "Bro Gozh ma Zadoù", "Karantez Vro"), one in Irish ("Mná na h-Éireann"), and the rest in French and English. Leroy collaborated with Jon Kelly for the musical arrangements. The album topped the French album charts for 7 weeks and the Belgian album charts for 5 weeks. It was certified double diamond by the SNEP for sales exceeding one million copies. The album was re-released in November 2011 as a Deluxe Edition with 7 additional tracks in English, including "Amazing Grace", "Scarborough Fair" and two Mike Oldfield tracks, "Moonlight Shadow" and "To France". The American version of the album, retitled Nolwenn, was released on 8 January 2013 with a different track listing. The album peaked at number 10 on the Billboard's World Album chart. Leroy made her New York City debut at Drom.

As part of the Bretonne Tour, Leroy played over 100 dates in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Germany. In June 2012, she performed as a special guest with The Chieftains in Paris.

2012–2016: Ô Filles de l'Eau
Leroy's fifth album, Ô Filles de l'eau, was released on 26 November 2012, preceded by the lead single "Juste pour me souvenir". The album was produced by Jon Kelly and recorded in London. The title reads 'O Daughters of the Water' but is phonetically similar to 'au fil de l'eau' ('with the current/flow'). Like Bretonne, it contains Celtic inspired music but with more ocean themed lyrics. It includes two tracks in English ("Homeland" and "Limitless"). "Homeland" contains the James Horner composed theme of the film Braveheart. "Ahès" is the only Breton-language song of the album. Leroy wrote and co-composed 9 songs, including the singles "Juste pour me souvenir", "Sixième continent", "J'ai volé le lit de la mer" and "Ophélia". The album cover was created by Australian artist Vee Speers, inspired by her portrait series, Immortal. Reviews of the album were strong, with some praising Leroy's vocal ability and Celtic music and lyrics, noting that her singing in English and Breton was brave and proved her to be an evolving artist, with strong sales to match. Two months after its release, the album was certified triple platinum by the SNEP. Furthermore, it was named RTL's Album of the Year 2013. In 2013, Leroy toured France, Belgium and Switzerland in support of the album. Additionally, she was a special guest soloist on Vladimir Cosma's symphonic tour in France. In early 2014, she was nominated at the World Music Awards for the first time, in four categories: World's Best Album (Bretonne), World's Best Entertainer, World's Best Female Artist, and World's Best Live Act.

In 2014, she provided several songs in English and French for the Academy Awards-nominated animated film Song of the Sea, and voiced the character of Bronagh in the film's French version. On 3 May 2014, Leroy performed the Breton anthem "Bro Gozh ma Zadoù" at the Stade de France before 80,000 spectators, for the 2014 Coupe de France Final (aired on France 2) opposing two Breton clubs, the Stade Rennais to EA Guingamp.

Leroy's second live CD/DVD, Ô Tour de L'Eau, recorded in Saint-Brieuc, was released on 1 December 2014. In March 2015, she embarked on an acoustic tour in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, New Caledonia and French Polynesia.

On 11 June 2015, she was invited to talk about her career at Oxford University. In November 2015, Leroy announced that she would perform at Celtic Connections in Glasgow's City Halls on 30 January 2016, along with Karen Matheson.

2017–2018: Gemme
On 13 May 2017, Leroy released "Gemme", the eponymous lead single from her sixth studio album Gemme (English: Gem) produced in London by Jamie Ellis. The album was released on 1 September 2017. Leroy wrote and co-composed most of the songs. The album features three songs in English: "Run It Down" and two poems by Edgar Allan Poe set to music ("A Dream" and "The Lake"). The other songs are in French. "Stephen" refers to a theory by Stephen Hawking. The album was certified gold in France. A Limited Edition was released on 8 December 2017, including two remixes and two acoustic versions. In March 2018, Leroy embarked on the 55-date Gemme Tour through France, Belgium and Switzerland.

2018–2019: Folk
On 2 November 2018, Leroy released a seventh album titled Folk, produced by Clément Ducol. The album consisted of covers of contemporary folk songs, including Graeme Allwright's French adaptation of Suzanne by Leonard Cohen. In March 2019, Leroy embarked on the Folk Tour through France and Belgium. In July 2019, she was a special guest at Pink Martini's concert at Jazz à Juan festival.

2021–present: La Cavale
On 2 July 2021, Leroy released the lead single "Brésil, Finistère" from her eighth studio album La Cavale. The album was produced by Benjamin Biolay and released on 12 November 2021. Biolay wrote and composed most of the songs. The second single, "Loin", was released in December 2021. In January 2022, it was announced that Nolwenn would join The Voice France as a surprise comeback stage coach for its eleventh season.

In 2023, she participates in a programme broadcast on France 3 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Pascal Obispo's career. The same year, she was a member of the jury of the Miss France 2024 contest. ̼ ̼

Medical research
Leroy's music was studied for its neurological impact in geriatric populations. Researchers found that Leroy's recordings might have a more beneficial effect than other music, noting that: "the music of Nolwenn Leroy was found to be significantly superior to other music tested". To describe the phenomenon they coined the term the Nolwenn Effect, saying: "the music of Nolwenn Leroy appears to have a different effect on brain-based modulation of gait and stance than other music tested to date".

Mozart and Dutch and French singers were tested; only Mozart and Leroy's music were specified. The U.S. study was completed in February 2008, but no substantial results appear to be published.

Endorsements
In 2011, Leroy appeared in two television commercials for the Nintendo 3DS and she became the face of Pantene for France and Belgium.

Against poverty
In 2006, she joined the Les Enfoirés charity ensemble and she became one of the Abbé Pierre Foundation's patrons for housing people in need.

Diseases
In Brittany, she is the sponsor of the operation “Give an Orchid for memory! » which will be held in different E. Leclerc stores in 2013 for the benefit of research against Alzheimer's disease.

Portugal Day

Portugal Day, officially Day of Portugal, Camões, and the Portuguese Communities (Dia de Portugal, de Camões e das Comunidades Portuguesas), is the national day of Portugal celebrated annually on 10 June. It is one of the public holidays in Portugal and celebrated by Portuguese people throughout the world. It commemorates the death on 10 June 1580 of Luís de Camões, a poet and national literary icon.

Honoring Camões
Camões wrote Os Lusíadas (usually translated as The Lusiads), Portugal's national epic poem celebrating Portuguese history and achievements. The poem focuses mainly on the 15th-century Portuguese explorations, which brought fame and fortune to the country. The poem, considered one of the finest and most important works in Portuguese literature, became a symbol for the great feats of the Portuguese Empire.

Camões was an adventurer who lost one eye fighting in Ceuta, wrote the poem while traveling, and survived a shipwreck in Cochinchina (a region of present-day Vietnam). According to popular folklore, Camões saved his epic poem by swimming with one arm while keeping the other arm above water. Since his date of birth is unknown, his date of death is celebrated as Portugal's national day.

Although Camões became a symbol of Portuguese nationalism, his death coincided with the Portuguese succession crisis of 1580 that eventually resulted in Philip II of Spain claiming the Portuguese throne. Portugal was then ruled by three generations of Spanish kings during the Iberian Union (1580–1640). On 1 December 1640, the country regained its independence once again by expelling the Spanish during the Portuguese Restoration War and making John of Bragança, King John IV of Portugal.

During the authoritarian Estado Novo regime in the 20th century, Camões was used as a symbol for the Portuguese nation. In 1944, at the dedication ceremony of the National Stadium in Oeiras (near Lisbon), Prime Minister António de Oliveira Salazar referred to 10 June as Dia da Raça (Day of the Portuguese Race). The notion of a Portuguese "race" served his nationalist purposes.

Portugal Day celebrations were officially suspended during the Carnation Revolution in 1974. Celebrations resumed after 1974 and were expanded to include the Comunidades Portuguesas, Portuguese emigrants and their descendants living in communities all around the world.

Observances
In 2013 the official celebrations took place in the town of Elvas, the second time since 1997. One reason that Elvas had been chosen was that it had been classified in 2012 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and is one of the most important cities in Portugal at the military level and the most fortified city in Europe.

In 2016 for the first time the official ceremonies were divided between the Portuguese capital of Lisbon and the French capital of Paris, by the initiative of president Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa as a reminder that it is also the day of the Portuguese communities throughout the world.

Canada
On 8 November 2017, the House of Commons unanimously passed Davenport M.P. Julie Dzerowicz's Private Member's Bill M-126, declaring June as Portuguese Heritage Month and 10 June as Portugal Day in Canada. M-126 recognizes the contributions that Portuguese-Canadians have made to Canada and the importance of educating and reflecting upon Portuguese heritage and culture for future generations. This now opens these occasions to being recognized and celebrated at a national level instead of only by municipalities or provinces.

In Toronto, Ontario, over 200,000 Portuguese-Canadians celebrate by holding a multitude of events surrounding 10 June date. The week-long festival culminates with the Portugal Day Parade on Dundas Street, in the area known as Little Portugal. The parade ends near Trinity Bellwoods Park, where concerts, cultural events and various other activities take place. The Portugal Day Parade is Toronto's third-largest street festival and first celebrated in 1966.

United Kingdom
In 2010 and 2011, festivities were celebrated on 13 June and 12 June, respectively, in Kennington Park, southeast London, in the area known as Little Portugal.

The 2012 observance was held on 10 June in Kennington Park. The officials and athletes representing Portugal at the 2012 Summer Olympics were based in Little Portugal near Kennington Park, and attended Portugal Day 2012 in Kennington Park. In 2013, the event was held on Sunday, 9 June 2013 in Kennington Park as in previous years.

In 2014 the event was not held, but was held in 2015 on Sunday 14 June in Streatham Common Park and this was the first time that a fee was charged to enter. The event in 2016 was also planned to be a paid event on Sunday 12 June in Streatham Common Park, but was cancelled due to heavy rain.

United States
Portuguese Americans celebrate the holiday throughout the country, especially in Portuguese American neighborhoods, including in:

 * In Newark, New Jersey, the Portugal Day Festival in Newark is held on the weekend closest to 10 June. Organized by the Bernardino Coutinho Foundation from 1979 to 2010, since 2011 the festival has been organized by the Union of Portuguese-American Clubs of New Jersey (UCLANJ: União de Clubes Luso-Americanos de New Jersey).
 * In Mineola, New York, the Nassau County Portugal Day Celebration is held annually at the Theodore Roosevelt Legislative & Executive Building by the Offices of the County Executive Ed Mangano, Comptroller George Maragos and a dozen Portuguese-American clubs and organizations. In 2013, the event was held on Monday 10 June 2013 and featured the Ambassador of Portugal to the United States, Nuno Brito, as the Keynote Speaker. The event was first organized by Gabriel Silva Marques, who still serves as the Event Chairman.  In 2012, the first Portuguese-American New York State Senator Jack M. Martins was named "Nassau County Portuguese-American of the Year" and made an honorary chairman of the event.
 * In Providence, Rhode Island, there is an annual Day of Portugal and Portuguese Heritage event.
 * In San Jose, California, the Portuguese Heritage Society of California organizes Dia de Portugal California in the city's History Park, the location of the Portuguese Historical Museum.

Appears to be vanity on behalf of her grandson, who advertises his own site in the edit summary. Google for the name reveals hits only for the "Mary McCarthy" variation, and most of those appear to describe other people. --Xcali 21:28, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Who wrote this page?
Honestly, who has written this page? If I knew much about the band I would change it myself, but I only came on here to find out a little about them before I listened to them. It reads like a high schooler's diary - I don't understand a word of it. Can someone please help to clear this up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by FlipsidePro09 (talk • contribs) 20:36, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Actually, this page should be deleted and made again, it reads horribly. It's all, "I think this" and "Now, this is admirable" and "to me, this is the start of". What a crock of crap. No offence to whoever wrote it, you know... FlipsidePro09 (talk) 20:38, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

I wrote some of this page elsewhere and someone copied my work. it was not meant as a wiki ... I am not claiming any copyright I just thought it was funny that someone bothered stealing it.
