Frank Peterson

Frank Peterson (born 29 December 1963) is a German music producer known for his work with Enigma and artists such as Sarah Brightman, Ofra Haza, Gregorian, Princessa, and Andrea Bocelli on his first international album, Romanza.

Peterson was born in Hamburg. As a child, he taught himself to play the piano and keyboard, going on to work in a music store. It was here that he met Michael Cretu and became lead keyboardist for Sandra, appearing prominently on her hit single "Maria Magdalena".

He was a member of Sandra's band for a few more years, then moved with the Cretus to Ibiza. While there, he became involved with Cretu's new project, Enigma, under the pseudonym of F. Gregorian. Peterson contributed to their first album, MCMXC a.D., writing several tracks.

He left the group in 1991 and pursued work on Gregorian, a musical project co-founded by Thomas Schwarz and Matthias Meissner. The female vocals for this album were provided by The Sisters of Oz—a duo composed of Birgit Freud and Susana Espelleta, who was married to Peterson at the time. Soon after, he met English soprano Sarah Brightman and collaborated with her on her solo albums Dive through Symphony.

Gregorian was re-invented later on in Peterson's career as a group performing Gregorian chant arrangements of popular songs. Peterson's inspiration, as he stated in an interview, was the approaching new millennium and its spiritual aspect.

In 1997, Peterson collaborated with Israeli singer Ofra Haza, producing her last album, Ofra Haza.

Other artists whom Peterson has worked with include Princessa, Carolin Fortenbacher, Violet, and Sinsual.

Lawsuit against Google/YouTube
On 16 April 2009, Billboard reported that Peterson had filed a lawsuit at the Higher District Court in Hamburg against Google/YouTube, claiming that his music videos and other audiovisual repertoire were used illegally. In his lawsuit, Peterson claimed infringement of his copyrights and master rights. He stated that more than 125 million streams of his productions—for which he owns the copyrights and master rights as author, publisher, and producer—had been viewed, for which he never received payment from Google/YouTube.

In the Billboard interview, Jens Schippmann, senior partner of the law firm Kamin & Wilke representing Peterson, claimed the lawsuit was necessary because Peterson never granted any synchronization rights and adaptation rights to GEMA as part of his membership agreement: "The German legal situation is different to the Anglo-American copyright law because in Germany, the copyright itself will always remain with the author and exploitation rights granted do not exclude the author from any decision regarding synchronization and adaptation because of the author's moral right". Schippmann added, "My client did not assign any synchronization or adaptation rights to Google/YouTube and is therefore entitled to demand [they] cease and desist such usage [and] negotiate about demanding appropriate remuneration".

Lutz Melzer, junior partner at the firm, said: "The lawsuit includes our demand for injunction, for information, and accounting about the figures of the usage and the turnover, especially from advertising. In addition, we demand for a court decision that any damages incurred by such exploitation have to be reimbursed by Google/YouTube. So far, we cannot exactly compute the amount of such damages without additional information from YouTube, but it seems that the damages will exceed a few million [U.S.] dollars solely in the Peterson case".

Coldstream Bridge

Coldstream Bridge, linking Coldstream, Scottish Borders with Cornhill-on-Tweed, Northumberland, is an 18th-century Category A/Grade II* listed bridge between England and Scotland, across the River Tweed. The bridge carries the A697 road across the Tweed.

The bridge is one of three bridges spanning the River Tweed section of the Anglo-Scottish border (the others being the Union Chain Bridge and the Ladykirk and Norham Bridge), and the oldest of the three.

History
The architect for the bridge was John Smeaton (responsible for the third Eddystone Lighthouse), working for the Tweed Bridges Trust. Construction lasted from July 1763 to 28 October 1766, when it opened to traffic.

The cost of the bridge was £6,000, with government grants available for the project and the shortfall covered by a mixture of local subscription and loans from Edinburgh's banks, which were to be paid back by the tolling system. There was controversy when the project's resident engineer, Robert Reid of Haddington, used some of the funds to build accommodation for himself, but the trustees were assuaged when Smeaton argued that the house would actually help support the bridge. It seems that Smeaton was sympathetic to Reid, believing him to be underpaid for his work.

The bridge underwent subsequent work, including the 1784 construction of a downstream weir as an anti-erosion measure, concrete reinforcement of the foundations in 1922, alterations in 1928, and major work in 1960–1961 to strengthen the bridge and widen the road.

A plaque on the bridge commemorates the 1787 visit of the poet Robert Burns to the Coldstream. Of historical note is the toll house on the Scottish side of the bridge, which became infamous for the runaway marriages that took place there, as at Gretna Green, hence its name, the 'Wedding House' or 'Marriage House'. It ceased to be a toll bridge in 1826.

Listed building
The Coldstream Bridge 'that part in England' (Northumberland) was Grade II* listed in 1952, being described in the English Heritage listing as "an ambitious, well-proportioned, and carefully-detailed C18 bridge design."

The Coldstream Bridge '(that part in Scotland) over the Tweed' (Scottish Borders) was Category A listed in 1971, being described in the Historic Scotland listing as "A very fine example of an 18th century bridge design by pre-eminent civil engineer John Smeaton, his first example of a bridge executed in fine dressed sandstone with classical detailing and forming a prominent structure in the landscape of the border between Scotland and England."

Structure
The bridge is made of "squared and tooled sandstone blocks with ashlar dressings". A circular oculus in the spandrel above each pier is filled in with whinstone rubble. The five main arches each have an arch band and a triple keystone; the arches grow larger and higher towards the bridge's centre. There is a smaller semicircular flood arch at either end, with pendent keystones. A weir named the Cauld immediately downstream of the bridge has protected it from erosion since 1785.

Marvé Beach

Marve Beach (Pronunciation: [maːɾʋe]) is located in the Western Suburb of Malad in the city of Mumbai, India.

Marathi is the most spoken language in this region. East Indian community, Panchkalshi or Somvanshi Kshatriya Pathare (SKP) and Koli's are the native people of this area.

Details
Ferry Services to the Essel World and Water Kingdom Amusement Parks and Manori are available at its north end. Ferry service to Manori is provided by BEST. You can also carry your two-wheelers onto the Ferry to Manori Island. Marve beach may be reached from Malad Railway Station (West side) by BEST bus no 272. Auto-rickshaws and taxis are available round the clock. With recent permissions being granted by the government, the site is now witnessing the construction of a Manori to Marve sea link.

Movement on Marve beach is restricted due to its narrow width as well as presence of Indian Naval base, INS Hamla. The beach is not safe for swimming due to presence of very swift currents and sinking sand.

History
The strip of land from Aksa Beach to Marve used to be one of many islands that lay off the Salsette west coast. These islands seem to have remained separate till as late as 1808. At the time of writing of the old Gazetteer of Thana in 1882, these islands could be reached during low tides by walking across the tidal inlets in between.

Fishing at Marve Beach
This is a good spot for fishing. You will find local boys with strings in hand. They use bait like shells, shrimp and earthworms to lure fish into their hooks. Its a good pass time and hobby. All you need is a string, hook, some bait (wheat flour, earthworm, shells, prawn) and patience. You can go home with some fresh fish and feeling happy.

Kinzua Bridge State Park

Kinzua Bridge State Park is a 339 acre Pennsylvania state park near Mount Jewett, in Hamlin and Keating Townships, McKean County, Pennsylvania in the United States. The park lies between U.S. Route 6 and Pennsylvania Route 59, along State Route 3011 just east of the Allegheny National Forest.

Kinzua Bridge State Park was chosen by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) and its Bureau of Parks as one of "25 Must-See Pennsylvania State Parks".

The Kinzua Bridge Foundation, Inc. was formally incorporated in the State of Pennsylvania on November 1, 1993. It is a non-profit 501(c)3 which is a separate entity from the State Park. The Foundation is dedicated to the restoration and preservation of the Kinzua Bridge, the promotion of its historical and cultural significance, as well as the further development of the adjoining State Park.

Kinzua Bridge
The park is noted as the site of the Kinzua Bridge spanning Kinzua Creek, original bridge built in 1882, subsequent bridge built in 1900 and destroyed in 2003 by a tornado. At the time it was built, the original (c. 1882) Kinzua Bridge was the highest, at 301 ft, railway bridge in the world, given the distinction of being listed as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark (the listing  was in 1977). The Erie Railroad company originally owned and operated the bridge.

William Scranton, then governor of Pennsylvania, signed legislation creating Kinzua Bridge State Park in 1963, although the park did not officially open until 1970. In 1987, excursion trains of the Knox and Kane Railroad again began running on the bridge. The trains traveled from Kane with a trip through the Allegheny National Forest and made a stop on the bridge before returning to Kane.

The Knox and Kane Railroad offered excursion rail trips across the bridge until June, 2002, when it was closed for restoration. At approximately 3:20 p.m., July 21, 2003, a tornado from the east touched down at the park. The storm, classified as F-1 on the Fujita scale, tore down 11 of the 20 structure spans and nearby trees were snapped and uprooted. The failure was caused by badly rusted bolts holding the bases of the towers. The investigation reckoned that the whole structure oscillated laterally 4-5 times before fatigue broke the base bolts. The towers fell intact in sections, and they suffered impact damage with the ground. They have been left as they fell, and it is intended to make the ruins a visitor attraction to show the forces of nature at work.

In 2011, the bridge was reinvented as the Kinzua Bridge Skywalk, a new pedestrian walkway where visitors can stroll 600 feet out on the remaining support towers, peer miles out into the Kinzua Gorge as well as peer down into the partial glass platform at the end of the walkway.

Recreation
A scenic view overlooks the fallen bridge and Kinzua Creek Valley. The overlook is also a prime location to view the fall foliage during the first two weeks of October. The park also has a shaded picnic area with a centrally located modern restroom. The Kinzua Bridge Foundation, Inc., in 2021, had a large playground area installed, which was dedicated to the memory of Hannah Catherine Wolfe of Smethport.

There are 100 acre of woods open to hunting at Kinzua Bridge State Park. Hunters are expected to follow the rules and regulations of the Pennsylvania Game Commission. The common game species are black bears, eastern gray squirrel, white-tailed deer, and wild turkey. The hunting of groundhogs is prohibited.

Nearby state parks
The following state parks are located within 30 mi of Kinzua Bridge State Park:
 * Allegany State Park (New York)
 * Bendigo State Park (Elk County)
 * Bucktail State Park Natural Area (Cameron and Clinton Counties)
 * Chapman State Park (Warren County)
 * Elk State Park (Elk County)
 * Sizerville State Park (Cameron and Potter Counties)

Atlantic coastal pine barrens

The Atlantic coastal pine barrens is a now rare temperate coniferous forest ecoregion of the Northeast United States distinguished by unique species and topographical features (coastal plain ponds, frost pocket), generally nutrient-poor, often acidic soils and a pine tree distribution once controlled by frequent fires.

Setting
This ecoregion once stretched from North Carolina to Nova Scotia but now covers a disjunct area with three remaining large, contiguous areas including, the largest, the New Jersey Pine Barrens on the coastal plain of New Jersey, the rapidly diminishing forests of southern Long Island in New York State, and the Massachusetts Coastal Pine Barrens which stretches from Plymouth, Massachusetts in Southeastern Massachusetts to Cape Cod and the Islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.

The pine barrens are underlain by sandy, nutrient-poor soils, which typically support stunted forests dominated by pines (Pinus spp.). The distinct flora of this ecoregion is maintained by the poor soils and frequent fires which revive the pines; surrounding areas with better soils are part of the Middle Atlantic coastal forests and Northeastern coastal forests ecoregions.

Climate
This ecoregion has a humid subtropical climate in Delaware, New Jersey, and Long Island, New York, and a humid continental climate in Massachusetts.

Flora
The composition of the flora of the pine barrens is largely determined by fire frequency. Pitch-pine-dominated forests are the characteristic forests of this ecoregion, but where fires occur at intervals of 10 years or less, dwarf pine forests develop. Where fires are infrequent, oak-dominated forests develop. In wetland areas grow cedar swamp forests and hardwood swamp forests.

Pine-dominated forests
Pitch pine (Pinus rigida) is the most abundant tree here. Shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata) is also present, but not as abundant. In the southern regions of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) and pond pine (Pinus serotina) are present and fairly commonly encountered. A variety of oaks grow among the pines, including black (Quercus velutina), white (Quercus alba), post (Quercus stellata), chestnut (Quercus prinus), scarlet (Quercus coccinea), and blackjack (Quercus marilandica). These forests tend to be open with widely spaced trees and plenty of sunlight reaching the forest floor.

The understory is thick with shrubs, including black huckleberry (Gaylussacia baccata) and early lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium pallidum). Staggerbrush (Lyonia mariana), dangleberry (Gaylussacia frondosa), mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia), and sheep laurel (Kalmia angustifolia) also occur. Bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) is abundant.

Dwarf pine forests
The only trees that can recover from frequent fires are pitch pine and blackjack oak, which are abundant here. Deprived of the opportunity to grow tall, these trees grow as shrubs that may only be 4 ft tall.

Black huckleberry and early lowbush blueberry are again common here. Mountain laurel, sheep laurel, and bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) are also common.

Oak-dominated forests
Without fires, leaf litter accumulates, creating an environment that favors the establishment of oak seedlings instead of pine seedlings. In time, the pines grow old, die, and are replaced by oaks (Quercus spp.). The most common are black, scarlet, chestnut, white, and post oaks. Pitch and shortleaf pines are scattered among the oaks. The forest canopy tends to be closed.

The understory vegetation is similar to that of the pine-dominated forest, with black huckleberry, early lowbush blueberry, and dangleberry common.

Cedar swamp forests
Swamp forests dominated by Atlantic white cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides) occur along the waterways of the pine barrens. The white cedars often grow from pools of standing water and, in contrast to the surrounding pine forests, considerably darken the understory. Amid the white cedars are red maple (Acer rubrum), sour gum (Nyssa sylvatica), pitch pine, and sweet bay magnolia (Magnolia virginiana). In openings and edges grow highbush blueberry, dangleberry, swamp azalea (Rhododendron viscosum), fetterbush (Eubotrys racemosa), and leatherleaf (Chamaedaphne calyculata). Sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia), Sabatia kennedyana, inkberry (Ilex glabra), and winterberry (Ilex verticillata) are also present.

Hardwood swamp forests
Sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua) and red maple are the most abundant trees in the hardwood swamp forests. American holly (Ilex opaca), a broadleaf evergreen tree, is common. Pin oak (Quercus palustris), swamp white oak (Quercus bicolor), willow oak (Quercus phellos), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), sour gum, and sweet bay magnolia are associates.

Poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) are often abundant and grow in thickets. Shrubs include arrowwood (Viburnum dentatum), spicebush (Lindera benzoin), highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia), and swamp azalea.

Grasslands
The region also contains areas of maritime grassland on Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and out at the tip of Long Island that are unique in the United States (see Conscience Point National Wildlife Refuge for an example).

Fauna
Wildlife adapted to this environment includes the Pine Barrens tree frog, Plymouth red-bellied turtle and the extinct heath hen. The beaches of these coasts are important breeding grounds for piping plovers (especially on Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and Long Island) and roseate terns (especially on Bird Island).

Threats and preservation
The pine barrens ecosystems have been severely damaged by urban developments as the east coast has become built up with housing, including vacation and retirement properties. Only about 10% of original habitat remains and is very fragmented. Blocks of remaining habitat include: the New Jersey Pine Barrens; Albany Pine Bush and Long Island Central Pine Barrens in New York; and the Massachusetts Coastal Pine Barrens with concentrations in Myles Standish State Forest, Manuel F. Correllus State Forest on Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod National Seashore and Joint Base Cape Cod and the Mashpee Wampanoag Indian Reservation in Massachusetts. These areas are now well conserved.

Lloyd Scott

Lloyd Scott, MBE (born 13 October 1961) is an English former professional football goalkeeper and charity fundraiser, best known in the UK for his charity marathons. He is notable for competing in the 2002 London Marathon in a deep-sea diving costume. In 2003 Scott also completed the world's first underwater marathon in Loch Ness and in 2004 cycled a Penny Farthing across Australia. In 2020, between COVID-19 lockdowns, he completed the 3 Peaks Challenge wearing his deep-sea diving suit.

Scott holds a number of Guinness World Records and can be found as one of the characters on the cover of the 2024 edition of the Guinness World Records book.

Scott has undertaken his challenges with a background of overcoming chronic myeloid leukaemia (1989) and has been battling a rare form of cancer, called synovial sarcoma, for the past three years.

On 2 July 2012 the BBC reported that Scott, wearing a 130 lb (59 kg) diving suit, was the first person to complete the 2012 Olympic Marathon Course in a time of six days.

Football career
Between 1978 - 1983 Scott played as a goalkeeper for Leyton Orient Watford and Blackpool. He also played for Dagenham FC (now Dagenham and Redbridge FC).

Charity challenges

Scott has been injured during some of his events. For example, he injured his shoulder during the underwater marathon when he fell off a 15 ft ledge while in the loch.

After being awarded an MBE in 2005, Scott joked that the award should stand for "Mad, Bonkers and Eccentric". He was awarded an Honorary Fellowship from the University of East London in 2003 and the Freedom of the London Borough of Havering in 2009.

In total Scott has undergone over 30 operations for a number of injuries and also life-saving surgeries.

Talk:Solar vehicle

Lede of article
I removed two sentences from the lede of the article. They read: "They run by the suns energy. Solar vehicles will go up to 80 mph." Of these, the first sentence is redundant; earlier sentences in the article make clear that a 'solar vehicle' runs on the sun's energy. The second sentence is false. Solar vehicles, especially race vehicles, have traveled faster than 80 mph, and there is no reason to think that solar vehicles built in the future would necessarily be limited to this speed. Besides, there is no source attributed to the 80mph statistic quoted. Bry9000 (talk) 06:22, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

x-x- Just did a correction on the Solar Taxi. Louis did a fantastic job driving the Solar Taxi and deserve a lot of credit and recognition for an electric vehicle. Solar Taxi is not a solar car, it is an Electric Vehicle with SOLAR ASSIST. A trully solar car only use energy it can harvest from its own solar array. Solar Taxi puggled every night. The claim that was a large solar array in Germany by Q-Cell was a good marketing guimik and an insult to the solar car community. Vehicles competing at WSC, NASC and XOF1 are only fueled by solar energy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.206.23.177 (talk) 03:19, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Solar Car
"Solar car" is a category commonly associated with race vehicles designed and raced in one of several competitions including the World Solar Challenge, North American Solar Challenge and many regional races. Tens of thousands of people have been involved in designing, building and racing hundreds of these cars over two decades. There are numerous other categories of solar powered vehicles including solar powered bicycles, boats and planes.

I recommend a parent category "Solar Powered Vehicles" with three multiple categories for cars, bicycles and planes (instead of renaming this page).

 * Don't forget solar boats, the most practical solar vehicles of them all. --Theosch 16:28, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

The article on Solar Cars needs a mention of the potential for hybrid electric vehicles to utilize solar power as an additional source of battery charging and to extend the range while driving. The UltraCommuter is concept hybrid that does just that.

 * Most passanger vehicles don't have enough surface area to benefit from the additional energy that could be captured by a PV array on the vehicle. Even under ideal conditions only about 1 mile could be gained by a BEV that consumes .2 to .4 kWh per mile.  A far better idea would be to install a larger stationary grid-tied PV array at home, perhaps with a tracking system, such that it could produce a few kWh per day to suppliment the charging of a BEV at night while providing grid power durring the day when it's needed most.  This also eliminated the need for a stationary battery to home, instead it could be located in the car and used daily for commuting to work or such. Not that I'm opposed to using PVs on a more effecient lightweight type EV or for technology proving purposes as they are currently.  --D0li0 12:03, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

I might also update the article to be named Solar Vehicles, unless that category is too broad as it could include anything from solar powered aircraft to the mars rovers.

 * Sounds like a good idea most of the other similar articles are named something Vechicle. --D0li0 12:03, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

solar car
Why are solar cars not being marketed and commercialized? Rahul
 * Cost of electric cars plus costs of solar panels ? (solar cell makers are a oligopoly) --Altermike 20:27, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Solar cars are primarily technology demonstration vehicles for PV, Motors, composite materials, and aerodynamics design. So they aren't marketed and commercialized because you can not collect enough energy via PV given the surface area, weight, and creature comforts of a normal cars, you would only collect about 1 mile worth of energy per day under ideal conditions.  Better to install a larger quantity of PV in a fixed/tracking stationary location (like on your homes roof), such that you can collect enough power to run your home and offset the fuel costs for your (non-PV) battery electric vehicle (which you can't easily buy, yet)... --D0li0 03:38, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Because the tech just isn't there yet to make them viable. Plus, with maybe 1kW of useful sunlight falling on each square metre even at noon in tropical-desert climates, you need quite a large surface area to get a useful average charging power even if you had 100% efficiency (compared to a current, best-commercially-available figure of about 15%). Something like a large but light-framed, boxy van may have 10 sq mtr of usable panel space. Say you're somewhere with 12 hours of guaranteed, cloud free sunlight. Get the total insolation by RMS, so roughly 71% of 120kWh = 85kWh falling on it (not bad, enough to travel for 4 hours at approx 65mph on sun alone without any batteries, assuming good aerodynamics for something with that cross-sectional and frictional area).
 * But then consider the efficiency... and you have about 12.5kWh daily. Maybe an hour at 55mph, two at 40, or thirty minutes at 77mph, which even my small bike with its 2-gallon tank (takes about 20 seconds to fill) can sustain for about two hours. And rememeber this is under ideal weather conditions, with a large, ideally-aerodynamic vehicle, idealised traffic and geography, etc. I don't even consider a BEV that will get me 80 miles IF I travel slowly (or 50 if I keep up with traffic) super practical - and that's something that can be reliably charged, every night, in about 4-5 hours (late night, early start) from a UK household power socket. Factor in the typical weather and variable "raw" sunlight availability in a temperate climate, that few people will want to buy what is essentially an underpowered, square-edged delivery van for day-to-day use, the incompatibility of aero with panel positioning, hills, building/hill/foliage shadows, snowfall, traffic etc and you've got a vehicle that may well leave you with an impractically short range many days... unless you also keep it plugged in on charge. You certainly couldn't use it WITHOUT batteries, unless you're committed to some serious flexitime (when's the best sunlight? midday, when you're at work. when's it get dark? commuting time), and basically taking three months off in winter.
 * It may be useful to save a little on charging bills and show committment to the environment, but right now, it'd be stupidly expensive. BEVs are themselves overpriced next to ICEs, and unless you keep it for a very long time, drive near to the max range each day, and have good luck with the battery wear, you won't actually recoup the extra cost even with european fuel prices. Solar panels have something like a TEN YEAR break-even return on investment when you look at their install cost vs the saving made against domestic power - and that's the bulky, best possible power:cost ratio roof-install ones, not sleek slimline vehicle-suitable models. Put the two together and you've got a battery-solar car that you have to keep about fifteen years just to make it a financially sensible choice vs a BRAND NEW fossil powered one. I tell you now, I couldn't afford it - I have always had to buy used, and never spent more than a third of the purchase price of what is currently the cheapest dealer-retail car (on something that would have been considerably more expensive in the first place). I went for a used motorcycle because, running the maths for purchase, upkeep, fuel, gear and tuition, it'd still be something like a 3 year ROI, and after that, solid savings because just 1500 miles (about 4 fills in the car, or 6 working weeks) of 2 wheeled travel is enough to pay for the insurance, tax, safety test and basic maintenance. 10+ years would be a fools game, because there's no reasonable guarantee I'd still be alive, working or living in the same place, etc...
 * THAT'S why it hasn't yet been commercialised. The technology isn't good enough for practical real world use, or cheap enough that anyone in their right mind would buy it. It simply wouldn't be worth the effort. Maybe when some of the endlessly-promised high efficiency (30+ percent conversion) panels and high-capacity batteries come along, and the economies of scale from leaseable city-electrics and rooftop solar kick in, the story will start changing. If you could, say, have enough onboard charge capacity that the panels help juice up the batteries - or do it all by themselves at the weekend - and then suffer a net discharge over the week (similar to filling the tank whilst shopping on saturday), being almost depleted on friday, you could get away with light usage without having to plug in OR use fossil fuels. But that day's a few years off. And, being relatively poor, and doing 40+ miles on a typical day (never mind the atypical ones where I might do 100 or more, or even 300 in extreme cases), it won't be for me for a few years after. 193.63.174.10 (talk) 10:59, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Proposed Name Change: robert
Actually Solar Vehicles are manufactured and distributed. They are called Cruise cars! You may know them Golf Carts however thanks to NHTSA (National Highway Transportation Safety Administration) and their new ruling of LSV'S (Low-speed-vehicles) you can now own a street legal and nationally distributed Solar/Electric Vehicle. They are offered in 2 to 14 capacity seating with many ad-on's and extras. Travel between 20 to 25 miles per hour. Are equipped with Headlights, taillights, turn signals, rear view mirrors and seat belts. The solar panels are designed to last up to twenty years!

Here's how it works: Think of the batteries in a Golf Car or Electric Vehicles as the gas tank in your automobile. When full, you have 150 gallons of fuel or amps. Let's say you use 50 gallons or amps in a day of driving. On a clear and sunny day, the Solar Top will replenish 12 gallons or amps in the winter when days are shorter and 18 gallons or amps in the summer when the days are longer. If you don't drive the vehicle for 3 days and you park it in the sun, the Sunray Solar Top will generate 36 gallons of fuel or amps in the winter and 54 gallons or amps in the summer. So, in effect, you would fill your tank in 3 days.

As you see more and more manufactures getting in the game with electric vehicles solar will be playing a big part. Now the big three are getting involved and with the gas crunch things will happen a lot faster. Until then there's always Cruise Car, Inc. (http://www.cruisecarinc.com)Cruisecarinc 17:58, 4 May 2007 (UTC)cruisecarCruisecarinc 17:58, 4 May 2007 (UTC)!

 * Thank you for the information. On the other hand, I suggest change the name of the article to solar vehicle, as proposed. --HybridBoy 19:00, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

 * cruisecarinc.com looks like a Golf cart or perhaps Neighborhood electric vehicle per the LSV regulations, I suppose because they are equipped with PV roofs the might be mentioned here in this article. Now to the point of this section, I'm not sure that Solar vehicle would be a better title as this article which focuses primarily on cars, as opposed to planes or boats which can also be solar powered and are vehicles.  But then again the line is a little blurry between Car ie:Automobile and Vehicle with regards to other articles names... --D0li0 09:20, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I vote Negative: I believe that based on the content of this article, if any name change should be made, it should be something along the lines of "Solar Race Cars/Vehicles". A separate article for "Solar Vehicles", i.e. the more commercially viable sort would be logical as well. ~Gertlex 18:00, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

 * No. Rememember there are also solar airplanes and solar space vehicles. 199.125.109.127 03:26, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

 * True... this article refers soly to cars. Someone else has taken the initiative and removed the name change template. More nay votes than yay. Case closed, methinks. ~Gertlex 16:31, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Nice advertisement, but I'd rather buy my electric golf buggy from someone who doesn't think that it's battery gets full of "amps"... (even if you actually meant amp-hours, the figure is meaningless without knowing the voltage, and therefore the total watt-hour storage - which, if we're credulous, gives a potential range figure, assuming you get a similar 200-300Wh/mile efficiency as everyone else. My car's starter & accessory battery holds 65Ah after all). Oh, and how far will that "tank that takes 3 days to fill" (in summer) take me, at all of 25mph? Rename the article to suit your company trademark, I think not. 193.63.174.10 (talk) 11:15, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

I have proposed a split of the article, as set forth below. Bry9000 (talk) 21:13, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

"Electrical system" needs more information
Mentions voltages, but not (in numbers) current, power, wiring gauge/type , peaks, averages. amper hours of the batteries.

Link to a NZ site is questionable, as it is selling Raztec sensors.

And it does not say how as in with what kind/type of electronics the on board computer controls power use.--Mark v1.0 18:18, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

 * A lot of this information varies quite a bit. Furthermore, many teams keep a lot of these details largely non-public.  I believe the World Solar Challenge article mentions the battery capacity limit (and it probably was different for the two classes of cars in the most recent race).  Ultimately, these are details that you're not going to get a lot useful information on. ~Gertlex 01:58, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Races section
I have reorganized this section, and I propose to move the details of the 2005 race, and most details of the 2008 new NASC sponsorship, to the North American Solar Challenge page.Bry9000 02:20, 1 December 2007 (UTC) Done. Bry9000 (talk) 21:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Proposed article split
I propose to split this article into two: Solar vehicle and Solar car racing, with the latter as the sub-article. Right now, the former category describes general applications of solar power for powering all vehicles, including bikes, planes, and cars, and it need not be limited to photovoltaics. The latter category is a specific type of vehicle and event all its own. Bry9000 (talk) 20:00, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * No one has commented for two weeks, so I split the article. All of the technical details from this article are on the new Solar car racing page.  Please don't revert my changes before discussing them here.  Bry9000 (talk) 04:42, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Discussion page structure
This discussion lacks structure and is unreadable. Therefore I can't be bothered to try to discuss how other than race solar cars fit into the picture. Discussion can't be a list of opinions but a category of subjects. Teemu Ruskeepää (talk) 09:03, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Solar vehicle not category/vehicle on its own
A "solar vehicle" is not category/vehicle on its own. Please discard the category and page and merge it into the electric vehicle or battery electric vehicle category/page.

Thanks. KVDP (talk) 16:11, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree. These three pages are confusing: green vehicles, electric cars, solar cars. And no page answers the question: "What types of solar/electric/oxygen powered/etc car exist now in the world?" Which seems to me as one of the most important questions in this section. I can help with examples and pictures of solar cars, but I am not sure where to put them...Electric cars? or here 3DRivers (talk) 11:46, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Popular Culture
Is there a place for solar energy in popular culture in this article ? Or does this belong in the specific articles (i.e. solar sail) Solar vehicles have obviously captured the popular imagination of inventors and science fiction writers. But the reason I mention it is that much of the concept behind the 1980s anime The Mysterious Cities of Gold was the use of the sun for energy by the ancient civilisations (Maya and Incas) including some really interesting concepts of solar boats and solar aircraft. --EvenGreenerFish (talk) 02:23, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Panel lifetime
30 years eh ... not bad. Never actually thought of a solid state thing such as that having a particular lifetime, but if LEDs can slowly dim and burn out, and transistors too, why not PVs. Sad that it may mean the "death" of many future classics (should solar vehicles become practical) thanks to their original panels wearing out... either upgrade to a modern, probably different-looking equivalent (in, say, 2060), or leave it as a stationary exhibit somewhere with the old ones in situ. Still, few vehicles actually last that long anyway.

It does help answer some of my potential queries as regards home solar though. It takes about 10 years (at current panel and domestic electricity costs) to break even on your purchase. So the lifetime cost of a solar panel is actually minus twice that of its purchase price. IE if you're prepared to make a very long term investment (buy them at the same time as taking out a mortgage?), they'll repay it twice over. Not bad. If they stay the course and no other factors change ;)

Heck, even when you DO have to replace them, all things being equal, you're still 1x the original price in profit after that. It makes a compelling argument, if you are confident you won't be moving, for installing a great surplus of the things and selling the extra power back to the grid. More risk, more potential profit. Shove the proceeds into an early mortgage repayment fund.

However, how many of us keep the same car for 10 years? 193.63.174.10 (talk) 11:23, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

merge this page into pv in transport
There's plenty of complementary material between the two articles putting them together would get the article closer to critical mass. This article has general material on PV best discussed in the general page Photovoltaics.Oldboltonian (talk) 15:02, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Solar vehicle and solar-charged EV not the same
I would like to reiterate what a couple of others have already noted: There is a decided difference between a solar vehicle and a solar-charged electric vehicle -- in most cases.

A solar vehicle has on-board solar panels that power that vehicle 100 percent, for instance the PlanetSolar boat making its way around the world, the Solar Impulse plane that's preparing to fly around the world, and, of course, the innumerable MIT-like solar vehicles that compete in various solar vehicle races around the world.

In contrast, a solar-charged vehicle is a vehicle that has onboard batteries that have been charged with solar electricity generated off-board the vehicle. Of course, there are hybrids of the two -- vehicles that have solar panels on them, but whose solar panels are not enough to power the vehicle by themselves and therefore require additional electricity from an outside source, which could be a solar array on a house, building, solar carport, etc.

If this article must be merged -- and I don't necessarily feel it must be -- I would agree that PV in transport would be the best place for it. But, of course, that would potentially somewhat bury the electric vehicle component that is foregrounded here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbdh19 (talk • contribs) 02:24, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

 * I agree. Solar-charged vehicle are a completely different subject matter. Marcus   Qwertyus   02:47, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

January 2017 genre warring
There have been dozens of reverts of edits to this album's genre in a very short time. Please explain here your reasoning before making further genre edits. Please address the substance of the change. Hopefully, some consensus can be reached. Please be aware that, per the three-revert rule, "Editors who engage in edit warring are liable to be blocked from editing to prevent further disruption." Thank you. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 01:50, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * It is the work of a vandal. No vandal, no revert. Kellymoat (talk) 02:21, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * This may be obvious to you, but I have not previously been involved. Comparing the two versions, it looks to me like a difference of opinion between two plausible versions, rather than clear-cut vandalism on either side. Regardless of who made the change, could you advise why your version should be preferred? Or else, if the other editor is some sort of mass vandal whose work may be properly undone without paying attention to the details of the individual changes, could you provide details? Thanks, and I do appreciate your commenting here. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 02:48, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't want to go into too much detail because - I am not sure it is in my place to say. Nor do I want to say something out of place.
 * But, yes, you hit the nail on the head. With this particular person, any edit they make should be reverted simply because they are the ones making it.
 * Kellymoat (talk) 03:12, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

 * The related IP edits appear to be from sock puppets of indefinitely banned _and_ blocked editor User:MariaJaydHicky--see Sockpuppet investigations/MariaJaydHicky/Archive. Further such edits are apt to be referred as evidence to WP:SPI and WP:3RR to have accounts blocked. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 04:50, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I've fully protected because this was getting ridiculous. If it's such a clear-cut case, where is the rangeblock? The edit itself looks only partly broken. With so much effort being put into reverts, perhaps one might salvage the parts that are worth keeping - with all the genre warring going on, referenced genres sound like a really good idea to me. Samsara (talk) 22:10, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I asked for a range block last night on the 2A02:C7F:DE24:AE00: range. The page was deleted because I didn't file it properly.
 * But, hell, you saw how many different people reverted those edits. And how hard he tried to get everyone else banned. This isn't the first time he tried it, there's even more than one instance on your talk page. Kellymoat (talk) 22:23, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't know about "how hard he tried to get everyone else banned". On the scale of drama that I see on my talk page, the message was at a fairly restrained level. As a long-term perspective, we need to all make an effort to keep the level of antagonism at a level that isn't much higher than it absolutely needs to be. Samsara (talk) 22:43, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * By "get everyone else banned", I think Kellymoat meant this. I understand not every admin has the time to familiarize themselves with sockmasters such as MariaJaydHicky, okay, I totally get it. But Kellymoat,, several other trusted editors, and myself can all attest that these IP's were indeed MariaJaydHicky. Per WP:DENY it's standard to revert MJH's edits, so it's not edit warring/content dispute when you're reverting socks. Full protection is overkill. Please change the protection level from full to semi. Sro23 (talk) 00:38, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Not just that sock puppet investigation, but over the last few weeks, there have been sock accusations, 3rr reports, ANI reports, and page protections. I am the subject of number 11 and 20 on Samsara's talk page (open the contributions page for the editor that made number 11, blocked as a sock of MJH). My name has been fairly active since the new year compared to previous months, being accused by a lot of British IP users and new accounts - most of which end up being blocked, as evidenced by the amount of strikethrough comments are on my talk page. I think the one 3rr report, he reported me after one revert because he got confused with other pages he was vandalizing, lol. Kellymoat (talk) 11:15, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Protection was enabled on the WP:WRONG VERSION. As others have noted, this article has been the target of blocked user User:MariaJaydHicky, who evades her block from multiple UK IPs. In her preferred version she asserts that AllMusic assigns the album a genre of pop and worldbeat. AllMusic says that there is a "fusion of worldbeat and adult alternative pop" in the first quarter of the album, but it doesn't tell about the other 75%. So it's only talking about the first three songs, not the overall album genre. MariaJaydHicky also asserts that the album is R&B, but this is an outlier opinion from a news video, not a music journalist. The "worldbeat" genre is also an outlier. No other observers call this album R&B or worldbeat. Binksternet (talk) 02:02, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * If you could add references supporting your version, I think we can call it a wrap here. Thanks for your support. Samsara 12:55, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I arrived here because another editor within that IP range had undone one of my efforts to clean up after 47.187.246.16, another genre-warrior vandal; I'd blocked the range because I assumed they were the same person (without realising one was in the UK and the other in the US). When I made [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Folklore_(Nelly_Furtado_album)&diff=prev&oldid=762056432 this edit], I hadn't realised the article had been protected so that only *admins* could access it; FWIW I can't detect the colour change because I can't see it. I was still under the assumption that the vandal and the 47... person were the same, and I also hadn't read any of the discussion above. I'd never heard of a MariaJaydHicky person before reading this discussion. I'm going to downgrade the protection of this article to semi, because I don't think this would cause any harm. Graham 87 11:30, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Hopefully with the range blocked, it will slow him down for awhile. Kellymoat (talk) 12:10, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Edit request
The "Label change" section is nearly irrelevant to the article (and has a commercial feel to it). I suggest deleting all but the last 2 sentences, and deleting the section heading so that it merges with the section above. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:08, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I've downgraded the protection to semi (see above), so you can make that edit yourself now. Graham 87 11:34, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:DENY is not policy, but WP:V is. You have joined the edit war on the side of people inserting content not supported by sources, and you have not only ignored, but subsequently removed full protection to do so. It is common practice to self-revert in this situation, once one has realised one's mistake. Samsara 12:19, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:EVADE is however policy, and that's more applicable in this situation. If I'd thought what I did was a clear-cut mistake where there were two good-faith sides to the argument, I most definitely would have reverted myself. I don't see that being the case here. Graham 87 12:23, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * From EVADE: This does not mean that edits must be reverted just because they were made by a blocked editor (obviously helpful changes, such as fixing typos or undoing vandalism, can be allowed to stand). You not only reverted, but undid protection without consultation. I'm waiting to hear from you how you propose to resolve the situation you have created here. Samsara 12:31, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, When reverting edits, care should be taken not to reinstate material that may be in violation of such core policies as neutrality, verifiability, and biographies of living persons. Samsara 12:37, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Feel free, while it's not fully protected, to make your changes unrelated to the dispute. Failing that, post specifically what you want that section to read as I'm not quite sure how you intended it. I ran it through in my head with only the last two sentences preserved, and it seemed to lack context even more than it currently does, so maybe I didn't think it the way you did. Having said that, I prefer to remain "uninvolved" here as much as possible, so if you give me a version and there are no objections (or policy violations, obviously), I will implement it verbatim should full protection be in force at the time. Samsara 12:54, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * (EC) I'm not sure, actually ... I'll leave that up to the main editors of the article and consensus above I find Binksternet's arguments compelling (I was looking at the Allmusic source for "worldbeat" and missed it the first time myself). I've also seen your message in the other section. Graham 87 13:03, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks everyone. I'll confine myself to proposing wording for the "Label change" section, viz:

 * "After Universal Music Group purchased DreamWorks Records and folded it into the Interscope Geffen A&M umbrella label in January 2004, Furtado's recording contract was absorbed into Geffen Records.[7][8][9]" Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:32, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Genre workspace
Here are some prominent reviews of the album, with respect to genre.
 * AllMusic – No strong statement about genre: "...the dogged seriousness and didactic worldview become a bit overbearing not long before the album is a quarter of the way finished, particularly since the fusion of worldbeat and adult alternative pop often seems heavy-handed... an awkward transitional album."
 * New York Times – The artist and album are generally discussed within the pop genre: "...a wildly uneven collection... her pop competition... most current pop..."
 * AV Club – No particular genre specified: "...Folklore mainly loses that balance [the previous album's balance of girl-pop, hip hop, folk rock and worldbeat], emphasizing the roots instead of the mainstream byproduct."
 * Music OMH – Discusses the artist as coming from a teen pop background, this particular album as falling within the pop genre, but without the commercial potential.
 * BBC – No particular album genre: "There isn't a frothy pop song to be found on this album... a remarkably eclectic range of styles... the diversity of instruments and vocal styles on this album is breathtaking... eclectic..."
 * Spin – No particular album genre: "Folklore finds yet another pop kid struggling to grow up."
 * Guardian – Discusses the album as moving away from her commercial pop past.
 * Rolling Stone – Discusses the album as the same stuff of the previous album, but without a giant hit single: "A slick multiculti hodgepodge... mechanized drum loops and assorted world-beat flourishes... [one] hip-hop tune..."
 * NPR – "...diverse influences..."
 * Slant – "multi-cultural... Mellower than her debut, the album includes a number of restrained yet evocative pop ballads... [She is] writing in a hermetically sealed, pop stardom-induced vacuum."

None of these reviews set an explicit genre for the album as a whole. Instead, the album and the artist are discussed in the context of pop, and the songs themselves are discussed as being widely varying in genre. So I recommend removing all genre from the infobox. Binksternet (talk) 16:14, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Agree. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 17:48, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

In this review there is talk of Folklore as a pop album ("dropping a surprisingly mature, diverse take on modern pop with Folklore") Ikcir (talk) 15:49, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

More (Theme from Mondo Cane)

"Ti Guarderò Nel Cuore" ("I will look into your heart"), later released under the international title "More", is a pop song adapted from a film score written by Riz Ortolani and Nino Oliviero for the 1962 Italian documentary film Mondo Cane. Ortolani and Oliviero originally composed the melody as an orchestral arrangement that served as the film's theme music. Italian lyrics were provided by Marcello Ciorciolini, which were adapted into English by Norman Newell. It has since become an easy listening and pop standard.

The film Mondo Cane is a documentary, and uses a variety of music to accompany various segments. Some melodies are used repeatedly, in different styles, each named for the part of the movie where the music is used. Of the 15 music tracks on the soundtrack album, one melody is presented 6 times, another melody 2 times. The melody which became known as "More" is presented 4 times, named "Life Savers Girls", "The Last Flight/L'Ultimo Volo", "Models In Blue/Modelle in Blu", "Repabhan Street/Repabhan Strasse", in styles ranging from lush to march and 3/4 waltz.

"More" is one of Ortolani's acclaimed and influential works. It won the 1964 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Theme. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 36th Academy Awards in 1964, where it was performed in English by Katyna Ranieri. The nomination led Ruggero Deodato to hire Ortolani to compose the score for his film Cannibal Holocaust.

Katyna Ranieri
Katyna Ranieri recorded “'Ti Guarderò Nel Cuore” with Italian lyrics in 1962, with an orchestra conducted by the composer Ortolani, who was also her husband. It was issued as a 45rpm single by MGM. Ranieri sang “More” live in English at the 36th Academy Awards in 1964, where the song was nominated for an Oscar.

Kai Winding version
"More" first caught U.S. attention as a pop instrumental hit by jazz trombone player Kai Winding that was arranged and conducted by Claus Ogerman, released as a single on Verve 10295. Popular in the summer and autumn of 1963, the record peaked at #2 on the Easy Listening chart and at #8 and lasted 15 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. Rather than employing a traditional jazz instrument, the recording's melody was instead performed on the electronic Ondioline by Jean-Jacques Perrey. Verve retitled the parent album Soul Surfin' containing "More" and other songs performed by Winding's big band ''!!!!More!!! (Theme from Mondo Cane)'' to capitalise on the single's popularity. While Winding's brassy performances feature top jazz players, notably Kenny Burrell on guitar, the arrangements are in so-called "surf music" style.

After Winding's recording became popular, United Artists added to the soundtrack cover a starburst stating "INCLUDED IN THIS ALBUM THE HIT SONG "MORE"".

Vic Dana version
A vocal version of "More" by Vic Dana stalled at #42 in early October 1963, two weeks before Winding's rendition dropped off the Billboard chart. But the song did much better over the years, recorded hundreds of times by many artists, ranging from Frank Sinatra to the Baja Marimba Band. It is now considered a pop standard.

Martin Denny Version
The Versatile Martin Denny -LP- (1963) LRP-3307/LST-7307

Carol Williams version
A 1976 cover by Carol Williams on the Salsoul label was popular when disco was breaking into the mainstream and is seen as an early disco classic. “More” was the first 12-inch commercial single that one could buy in stores all over the world. It made #4 on the Disco Singles, #8 on the Dance Music/Club Play Singles and #98 on the R&B Singles.

Bobby Darin version
American singer Bobby Darin recorded a version of the song included on his 1964 studio album From Hello Dolly to Goodbye Charlie. Darin’s version of the song appeared on an episode of the second season from HBO hit series Euphoria.

List of vice presidents of the United States by time in office

This is a list of vice presidents of the United States by time in office. The basis of the list is the difference between dates. The length of a full four-year vice-presidential term of office amounts to 1,461 days (three common years of 365 days plus one leap year of 366 days). If counted by number of calendar days all the figures would be one greater.

Since 1789, there have been 49 people sworn into office as Vice President of the United States. Of these, nine succeeded to the presidency during their term, seven died while in office, and two resigned. Since the adoption of the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution (February 10, 1967), when there is a vacancy in the office of the vice president, the president nominates a successor who takes office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

Periodontosis

Periodontosis is an obsolete term that was used to describe what was once thought to be certain type of unique and distinguishable chronic periodontal disease that manifested as degenerative bony changes without concomitant inflammation. Although utilized for more than 50 years, the term has since been dropped in favor of a more contemporary disease classification for periodontal disease.

Described by Gottlieb as a "diffuse atrophy of the alveolar bone," the term periodontosis was later applied and it gained acceptance as a disease entity, being defined as:

 * "a degenerative, noninflammatory destruction of the periodontium, originating in one or more of the periodontal structures and characterized by migrating and loosening of the teeth in the presence or absence of secondary epithelial proliferation and pocket formation or secondary gingival disease."

Noted as a rare disease, periodontosis was said to have been seen primarily in young patients. And despite being defined as being a "noninflammatory destruction of the periodontium," almost all cases did exhibit varying degrees of gingival inflammation.
