Under-soil heating

Under-soil heating is a method used in various sports stadia (with a grass surface) which heats the underside of the pitch to avoid any elements from bad weather, such as snow and ice, from building up and ultimately helps the club avoid having to postpone any matches.

Most English Premier League teams now have this installed in their stadiums. While it is not an official requirement, it avoids any financial loss that a club might face in having to postpone any matches due to bad weather. The first ground in England to have under-soil heating installed was Goodison Park in 1958. The pitch at Old Trafford has 18.4 mi of under-soil heating and at Elland Road there is an under-soil heating system installed beneath the surface, consisting of 59 miles (95 km) of piping.

Technology
Under-soil heating technology is designed to address the challenges of adverse weather conditions, specifically the accumulation of ice and snow on ground surfaces. The system consists of a network of corrosion-resistant metal pipes laid beneath the soil or turf. These pipes are connected to a central heating unit that contains energy-efficient heating elements. When the system is activated, the heating unit circulates warm water or air through the pipes, effectively raising the soil temperature. Modern versions of this technology often include automated control units that allow for real-time monitoring and precise temperature adjustments, ensuring that the soil temperature is maintained at a level that prevents the formation of ice and snow.

Usages
In Germany under-soil heating is mandatory for division 1 and 2 Bundesliga clubs. The first ground to have it installed was the Olympic Stadium of Munich in 1972.

In the Czech Republic, despite the league having a winter break, the Czech First League requires all participating teams to play on surfaces with under-soil heating.

Several American football teams in the National Football League also have such a system installed. With American football, it is more a matter of player safety, since NFL games are never postponed on account of cold weather.

There have been numerous occasions where under-soil heating's effectiveness has been questioned. One notable incident happened on December 27, 2005, when three stadia in the FA Premier League, supposedly equipped with under-soil heating, failed to stop their pitches being covered in thick snow - this led to the matches being postponed. Subsequently, on January 1, 2006, the Premier League investigated as to why the pitches at Reebok Stadium (Bolton Wanderers), Ewood Park (Blackburn Rovers) and St. James' Park (Newcastle United) were not able to repel the snow. In the U.S., a notable example of the failure of an under-soil heating system occurred in 1967, when a newly installed system at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin failed before the NFL Championship game. The game would go on to be remembered as the "Ice Bowl".

The result of the debate was keep. Sjakkalle (Check!)  09:15, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Packing problem
Sorry about this, but Votes for deletion/MoreKarlScherer ended with no consensus, due to many people voting to keep simply because they didn't want to vote on all the articles listed at once, so now they are listed seperately. This is the VfD for
 * Packing problem

For the reason to delete this article, see Votes for deletion/MoreKarlScherer

NOTE THAT THE ARTICLE DOES NOT CONTAIN DISCUSSION OF THE MATHEMATICAL ISSUE which is discussed at Sphere packing

 * Delete     00:45, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, MathWorld has an article, google returns 10k results on "circle packing". Why is this up for deletion? Slike2 01:42, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Move to circle packing. Slike2 01:06, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The 10k results surely refer to the concept of sphere packing, not the concept described in this article. -- BD2412 talk 03:10, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment, the 10k results do not refer to sphere packing, the first 10 results are explicitly about circle packing, though one of them does talk about hexagon packing along a spherical surface. Also, the fourth result is this, which is a book on the subject of circle (NOT sphere) packing. Slike2 00:44, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment a circle is by definition a 1-sphere. The article on sphere packing clearly states this in the first paragraph.  There does not exist a seperate mathematics.   brenneman (t) (c)  01:08, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep it's a fcommon enough mathematical concept and problem. Ben W Bell 07:48, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The article discusses Karl Scherer's classification of them as a distinct type of entertainment puzzle, giving two basic examples. Circle and sphere packing is more properly discussed at sphere packing.     08:04, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep if expanded and sourced, as per Slike2, otherwise delete. JamesBurns 02:59, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as well-known mathematics conundrum. Jamyskis Whisper, Contribs 12:43, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete all of these O.R. articles, please -Harmil 15:53, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Well known and difficult mathematical problem. — RJH 16:19, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Which is discussed at Sphere packing.     06:38, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect. Keep and expand would be great if it hadn't already been done in sphere packing. Although I am amused by the underwhelming description of the sphere packing problem as "hard".   brenneman (t) (c)  16:45, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Redwolf24 17:04, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Disambiguate between the mathematical sphere packing and the computer science knapsack problem. --Carnildo 19:46, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Redundant with sphere packing. siafu 22:37, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep and expand: this is a branch of maths/physics which is undergoing rapid development. The classic problem was sphere packing, but current interest centers on many other shapes, including random figures and ellipsoids. In fact I don't understand why this and the next few pages are up for deletion anyway. Bambaiah 09:15, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, as sphere packing is a sub-set of this general case. Peter Ellis 03:43, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Have you read the article? There is no general case in it. Besides, spheres are the general case, thanks to conformal mapping     07:50, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * This comment is a little misleading: if this were merely a matter of conformal mapping then it wouldn't change the number of nearest-neighbour contacts. Furthermore search on cond-mat arxiv in just the current year led me to 74 papers on packing problems. Moreover, I see no compelling reason presented by people who voted to delete (except for those who did this with the partial information that packing problems reduced to sphere or circle packings). Bambaiah 08:38, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Obviously "sphere packing" is a general case of a "packing". The fact that the article as yet only gives examples of "sphere packings" and "circle packings" is irrelevant. Paul August ☎ 16:11, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep: This is a legitimate and common mathematical problem. [[Image:Monkeyman.png]]Monkeyman 14:39, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. This is very frustrating. I get the impression that many of the people voting to delete have never contributed to a math article, or are otherwise unaware of current topics of math research. Yet they feel confident to vote to delete? Sorry for that knee-jerk reaction, but this is a bit out of control. linas 15:08, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Extra Strong keep As by linas. --R.Koot 15:56, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Legitimate mathamatical topic. Paul August ☎ 16:00, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Oleg Alexandrov 17:51, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The sphere packing article is about packing spheres in an unbounded space, while packing problem is about packing general objects (though at present only spheres are treated) in a bounded space. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 18:24, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * A bounded space is a limited case of an unbounded space. I.e. it is a sub-topic. Limits are easy to apply, when the unbounded case is already solved extensively.     21:08, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Limits are not that easy. I challenge you to find a formula for how many circles can be packed in a square of size d by d. If you can (and it's correct), I'll vote delete. Jitse Niesen (talk) 22:22, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Given a circle of size c then (((2d-(2+root(3))c)d)/(square(c)root(3))). General case is that HCP is most dense, so HCP. First consider tiled situation - circles with superscribed hexagons, determine number across square, also determine number down square (these are not the same as hexagon is not 90 degree rotational symmetry), this gives number of tiles total. There will always be fractional tiles at the boundary, so subtract them. Boundary wraps so this is easy.     22:54, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * But the optimal pattern is not always hexagonal. For instance, if the circle has diameter 1 and the square is 2-by-2, then you can fit 4 circles in the square, but only three if you insist on a hexagonal pattern. Returning to the VfD, I note that the American Mathematical Society lists "Spreads and packing problems" as 51E23 in their Mathematics Subjects Classification (link). You say that the article is "up for VFD as neologistic categorisation", but I don't see anything in the article talking about this classification. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 23:22, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * You obviously haven't read "packing problems are one area where puzzles".     06:47, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. Could be expanded but discusses a currently vibrant branch of mathematics. Frankly, I'm a little surprised its even up for deletion. Chuck 19:38, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Mainly because despite the article title, it does not discuss the mathematical treatment, which is already described at sphere packing.     21:08, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment why are there suddenly so many keep votes in one day when there was such a large gap before?     21:05, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Answer Because somebody bothered to notify the people that would perhaps know about it here and here. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 22:22, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Ril: what is the point of this question? Paul August ☎ 02:15, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Teh Pioneerz Fuh $um0 Rightz
A tag has been placed on Teh Pioneerz Fuh $um0 Rightz requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

 * I noticed the link to the german mechanical puzzle just now, and I'd agree. The stuff that's currently in mechanical puzzle needs to be cleared out, and each type can be left as headings (though that percise grouping is original research, it is a pretty decent array of puzzle types that should be included under mech puzzle).

Kenny McFarlane

Kenneth "Kong" McFarlane (also known as King Kong) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley, the character appears in the pages of Ultimate Spider-Man. Kenny McFarlane is one of the few characters not based on a counterpart from Marvel's main continuity, being an original Ultimate Marvel invention to the comics, and is indirectly based on Bendis himself. However, his personality is based on Flash Thompson of the main continuity during his high school years. Several versions of the character are later introduced in the main continuity.

In Ultimate Spider-Man, despite his apparent lack of intelligence based on being a stereotypical high school bully, Kenny is actually a perceptive teenager and able to deduce Spider-Man's secret identity but keeps this knowledge to himself; he respects the hero's wishes of secrecy and covertly helps him maintaining it. Knowing that Peter Parker is Spider-Man inspires Kenny to be a better person and occasionally helping others in needs.

Fictional character biography
Obese yet strong, Kenny McFarlane is the best friend of Flash Thompson and Liz Allan. Kenny attends Midtown High School where he plays basketball for the school team. There, he can regularly be found cooperating with Flash bullying Peter Parker. However, without Flash in the vicinity, he shows a more likeable side and is often shown being friendly and open to Peter, even letting Peter stay at his house after Peter had a fight with Uncle Ben. When Peter is bitten by the genetically enhanced spider that gave the spider powers, Kenny crushes the spider under his sneakers, killing it. Later, noticing changes in Peter's physical strength and abilities and recalling the spider bite, he deduces that Peter is Spider-Man. Flash and Liz refuse to believe him and demand he prove it by kicking Peter from behind. Peter's spider sense warns that the kick is coming and he willingly takes the abuse rather than reveal himself, which appears to dissuade Kenny. This confrontation is observed by the new student Gwen Stacy sticking up for Peter by pulling a knife on Kong.

Kong's attitude toward's Peter softens after the latter joins the basketball team and demonstrates deep loyalty to his new teammate. Kong maintains a fascination with Spider-Man even to the point of hero worship. Overtime, Kenny becomes a better person, ceased bullying, and tries to improve academically. Upon hearing about the upcoming Spider-Man movie, Kong enters a casting call for extras. His only line was "Look in the sky, it's Spider-Man!". With the film's success, he achieved some fame in his school.

When Kenny and Peter share detention, Peter tells Kenny that Flash only hangs out with the latter solely out of a sense of superiority and treats him badly. Whether or not Kenny takes Peter's words to heart, he later has a particularly violent confrontation with Flash after the latter begins ridiculing the new student Kitty Pryde for being a mutant; Kenny slams Flash into a locker and furiously forces his friend to apologize, claiming he is "sick of [Flash's] racist crap", ending their friendship in the process. Frightened, Flash leaves the scene and Peter and MJ introduce Kitty to Kenny, and the pair walk away in conversation. He is later seen at Kitty's house, and Kitty later tells Peter of dating Kenny.

Later, when Liz's mutant abilities manifest at a party, Kenny tells Peter to go help her; he still knew that Peter was Spider-Man all along but had kept the knowledge to himself. When Kitty was singled out by federal troops for being a mutant after the events of Ultimatum, Kenny was one of the few classmates to stick up for Kitty, physically assaulting an agent to buy her time to escape. Kitty phased herself and Kenny through the floor and into the sewers, and they resume their relationship. Later, Kitty tells Peter that Kenny's mother took him out of the state.

Kong later shows up at an event hosted by May Parker to honor Peter and has a private conversation with Kitty.

Following the Secret Wars events that seemingly destroyed Kenny's universe, he is revealed to have joined the U.S. army after finishing high school in the restored world.

Kenny Kong
Kenny "King" Kong made his debut in the mainstream Marvel Universe in Starbrand & Nightmask #1 (February 2016) and was created by writer Greg Weisman and artist Dominike Stanton. Similar to how Kenny McFarlane was adapted for The Spectacular Spider-Man television series (which was also created by Weisman), Kenny is Asian American, with "Kong" being his last name rather than his nickname.

Kenny is a student at Empire State University and meets Kevin Connor and Adam Blackveil. He discovers that they are actually Starbrand and Nightmask, but he keeps this information to himself.

Kenny works as a barista at the Coffee Bean near ESU and dates his coworker and fellow ESU student Shelly Conklin. He also becomes acquainted with the main Marvel Universe's Peter Parker, who is a regular at the Coffee Bean and an ESU alumnus, as well as Peter's protégé Miles Morales, who originated from the Ultimate Universe that the original Kong debuted in.

Kenny McFarlane Jr.
Kenny "King Kong" McFarlane Jr. appears in Venom vol 4. #35 (June 2021) and was created by Donny Cates and Kenny's original co-creator Mark Bagley. Much like his earlier portrayal in the Ultimate Universe, Kenny Jr. is a High School senior and stereotypical popular jock who bullies the titular protagonist, Dylan Brock. Unlike other depictions of the character, this version of Kenny has a slimmer physique and blonde hair and lacks any of the kindhearted qualities of the Ultimate variant. It is noted that Kenny Jr. stole his "King Kong" nickname from his namesake father.

Character's name
Writer Brian Michael Bendis did not name Kenny McFarlane consistently during his run on Ultimate Spider-Man. In the first scenes, he is called by his nickname King Kong or simply Kong or even his real name. His last name was hinted to be Harlan in the first issue and his mother called him Clifford in issue #15. While in Ultimate Marvel Team-Up around the same time, in a story also written by Brian Michael Bendis, a teacher calls him Kenny. As a result of this information, in the "Official Handbook of the Ultimate Marvel Universe", he was referred to as "Kong Harlan, aka Clifford Kenneth Harlan". However, in issue Ultimate Spider-Man #82, his name is finally revealed to be "Kenny McFarlane". He now refers to himself as Kenny McFarlane, and in an interview with Bendis, it is confirmed that this is his real name.

Television

 * Kenny McFarlane, renamed Kenny Kong, appears in The Spectacular Spider-Man, voiced by Andrew Kishino. This version is Asian-American and is a member of the Midtown High football team with Flash Thompson and Randy Robertson.

Video games

 * Kenny McFarlane makes a non-speaking cameo appearance in Ultimate Spider-Man.

Nintendo router
Hi Omega21, welcome to Wikipedia. Could you link me to the Nintendo router posting? Andre ( talk ) 00:47, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

 * Added to revolution's page.

Picture
- Since the DS isn't considered to be part of the Game Boy lineup, could you retake the picture w/o it?

 * Lol, I didn't take that picture.. I just took a photo of my DS and added it to the current pick. Is it really necessary to remove the DS? Omega21 01:03, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Nice Screenshot

Wow, nice screenshot! can you tell me what theme/icons/font and wallpaper do you use? And if is possible get this easily with a Knoppix distro. Thanks. --Mateusc 03:44, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi there, at the time this was taken, I was using the Lipstik theme under KDE, and the Corona window decorations. Both of which you can find on www.kde-look.org. The icons are simply the regular KDE ones, the font is Lomonosov (I forget where I got it from). The wallpaper should be on my deviantart website, as I made it. http://omega21.deviantart.com. As for knoppix, Im not sure. I do not use Knoppix at all really, only Gentoo. I would ask someone on your distro's forums for more info. :) --Omega21 05:00, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

The School of Alberta Ballet
Hi, in an edit summary of Bishop Carroll High School you asked "Can someone tell me where they got the ballett stuff? My TA hasn't said anything about it.". The sources were: As I understand it, both schools do pretty much the same thing, in terms of accomodating these students. Both districts grant credits for some of the instruction. I originally read about it here when editing Queen Elizabeth Junior and Senior High School (Calgary) and then found it also applied to Bishop Carroll High School, so I just copied the info over. --Rob 04:28, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The Alberta Ballet
 * "Alberta Ballet stays in step with school", Lisa Willemse, Calgary Herald. Calgary, Alta.: Dec 15, 1999. pg. I.5 (this is obviously an old story, which is why I'm relying more on the current link from the Alberta Ballet above)

 * Cool.Thanks! Omega21

Nice desktop!
Hey, that desktop is sexy :-) Good work :-D Spum 12:15, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks!

Shouting
I henceforth issue you a long-belated welcome to wikipedia, or perhaps a shout, depending on the temporal offset. Falcon 22:32, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Note on Dedicated console box.
The Wii doesn't have an official release date, it's confirmed to be released before Nov 25, which could put it before or after the PS3(Nov11/17th release). Since it's unknown that's why I put it at the end.

 * Do you have a link to verify that? It would be a nice thing to add to the Wii page.70.101.201.248 01:45, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I remember that Satoru Iwata distinctly addressed that question, although I dont rememmber where.. I will look for a link. Do you have a username?

Orphaned non-free image (Image:FirefoxOnLinux.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:FirefoxOnLinux.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 20:52, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Hail to you
Hail. You should update the pages linked from your user page. Also, if you want to make links but don't know how, this is how: Nervosa Forums → Nervosa Forums.

While the original page says "Copyright 1999/2004 James Dalgety & Edward Hordern. You may freely distribute this document and the accompanying table in its entirety subject to acknowledging the source." this is not GDFL compatible, unless the entire text is explicitly declared an invariant section in the GDFL license statement.  (The requirement to copy in its entiretly would seem to preclude subsequent editing.)  So far as I am aware, we require GDFL for article text.  --Tabor 16:45, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * If it is copyright it will need to be removed immediately, regardless of votes. Could someone confirm this please? It needs to be GDFL, which requires us to be able to edit it freely, including removing any attribution.     06:36, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes most of the text (with some slight rewordings) comes from the site given above (and linked to in the article), and the copied text should probably be removed from the article. Paul August ☎ 17:17, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

 * strong strong keep. Wire puzzles are interesting, notable, eminently wikifiable.  They deserve a page to themselves.  Merging with disentanglement puzzle misses the point: wire puzzles appear in literature (can't quite find it right now but I think it was Stephen Potter), have uses in psychology (frustration management), appear in discussions of topology, all in ways unique to wire puzzles.  There are notable companies that specialize in wire puzzles.  One nearly cost me my sanity when I was a boy.  What kind of engineering tolerances are necessary to make a wire puzzle?  Is there a go/no go gauge in the factory?  If so, how does it work; if not, what kind of quality control is in place?  What is the rejection rate in such factories?  Are wire puzzles made by hand, or some weird machine?  Keep it!  I read somewhere that they were being made as early as 1880.  What kind of hardware did those guys have?   I want to know the answer to these questions, and its much more likely that some knowledgeable wikipedian will do us the service of editing a page on wire puzzles if such a page existed. Robinh 21:36, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that I believe you. I think what you are referring to is the game where people have to avoid touching the wire, which is a different thing entirely.     06:33, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * reply Hi Ril four tildes. What do you mean you don't believe me?  Which bit don't you believe?  I can dig out the Stephen Potter reference.  The puzzle I'm referring to is sometimes called the "twisted nail puzzle".  The "avoid touching the wire game" is totally unrelated.  I repeat: which bit don't you believe? regards, Robinh 07:16, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * reply II. Hello again Ril four tildes.  Me again.  Right, I understand why you don't believe me.  The problem is that there are two different types of wire puzzle.  The first type, as discussed in wire puzzle, involves the topology of the system.  The type I was thinking of has two twisted nails, which cannot be separated unless held at precisely the right angle, and gently eased apart.   This type (AFAICS) isn't mentioned on wire puzzle.  Maybe we should make a page called twisted nail puzzle and everyone would be happy.  Come to think of it, I'll do it at lunchtime today.   Best wishes Ril, Robinh 09:28, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * comment, good points, but I think that if merged it will allow the section to expand naturally until it becomes too big for that article, at which point it will be moved out into its own. If you can provide enough information to make that article more than a stub, then I would vote keep as well.Slike2 00:52, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * reply Hi Slike2. That's fair enough.  I'm afraid I don't regard myself as sufficiently knowledgeable to add material.    Not right now anyway.  But I do plan to do some research on the topic.  What is the point of merging a perfectly good stub, only to have to hive it off later?  best wishes Robinh 07:16, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Insulin icodec moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Insulin icodec, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia).

Sir Douglas Quintet

The Sir Douglas Quintet was an American rock band formed in San Antonio, Texas in 1964. With their first hits, they were acclaimed in their home state. When their career was established (subsequent to working with Texas record producer Huey Meaux), the band relocated to the West Coast. Their move coincided with the burgeoning San Francisco psychedelic rock scene of the mid 1960s to early 1970s. Overall, the quintet were exponents of good-times music with strong roots in blues and Texas-regional traditions. The band's songs were most noted for the instantly distinguishable organ sound of Augie Meyers' Vox Continental.

Group's origins
Doug Sahm, a veteran of the professional music scene who first sang on radio at the age of five, formed the Quintet (first called simply "Sir Douglas") in 1964 with longtime friend Augie Meyers and the other original members, Jack Barber, Frank Morin, and Johnny Perez. Sahm had started in country music and had played (at age eleven) on-stage with Hank Williams, Sr. during the latter's final performance. Sahm went on to play in blues clubs in his teenage years and had gained experience as a band leader.

The initial success of the new group, the Quintet, on the airwaves and sales charts was achieved when they made records in conjunction with Houston music producer Huey P. Meaux. Houston's recording industry had become the center of Texas R&B music.

The Quintet was born in a cross-cultural south Texas musical melting pot that included the sounds and traditions of Mexico, Ireland, Scotland, Appalachia, Bohemia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Germany, and African-America. Aware of major trends, producer Huey Meaux advised connecting the new group with the English pop-music trend. As a consequence, the Texas-local R&B, Tex-Mex, and other veins the musicians were familiar with initially went through a period of influence by the British pop bands of the early and mid 1960s. For a short while, the youthful members of the group emulated Beatles-like "mop-top" demeanor and antics on stage. However, they soon outgrew these trappings.

Best known tracks
The Quintet is perhaps best known for the 1965 hit single "She's About a Mover" written by Doug Sahm. The song, which has a 12-bar blues structure, was once named the number one 'Texas' song by Texas Monthly. With an infectious Vox Continental organ riff provided by Augie Meyers and soulful vocals from Sahm, the track has a Tex-Mex sound. The regional smash became a breakaway hit, and the recording was used in the soundtracks of the films Echo Park (1986), American Boyfriends (1989), The Doors (1991), Riding in Cars with Boys (2001), Sorority Boys (2002), and Beautiful Darling (2010). The Quintet's recordings were used as well in the soundtracks of other films, such as Cisco Pike and An Officer and a Gentleman.

In addition to "She's About a Mover," the band is known for its songs "The Rains Came" (1966), "Mendocino" (1968), "It Didn't Even Bring Me Down" (1969), and "Dynamite Woman" (1969). "Mendocino" was released in December 1968 and reached No. 27 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 by early 1969, spending 15 weeks in the chart. It was more successful in Europe, selling over three million copies there. The track was featured in the generally highly regarded film High Fidelity, starring John Cusack and Jack Black. Having made considerable musical impact, the Quintet at one point went on to share the same European bill as the Beach Boys and the Rolling Stones. In 1983, Sahm and Augie Meyers signed with the Swedish Sonet label, and made several extensive European tours that revitalized their careers. The single "Meet Me In Stockholm" from their Midnight Sun LP went platinum and was one of the biggest selling records ever in Scandinavia. "We were having riots on stage," said Doug. "Swedish chicks (were) running up on stage, knocking me over, ripping my clothes."

Style
The Quintet played varied styles with an instrumental lineup that was typical of blues bands: one guitarist, keyboardist, bassist, and drummer, and a member who could play either trumpet or saxophone. Despite the blues band lineup and a musical influence from the blues, the Quintet's live sets did not overemphasize misery or tension in the lyrical content or musical feeling of the songs. In their sets and on record, the Quintet included such blues classics as "I Don't Believe" (originally by Bobby Blue Bland) along with the upbeat "Hey Little Girl" (originally by Texas blues man Frankie Lee Sims) and "T-Bone Shuffle" (originally by blues giant T-Bone Walker).

The Sir Douglas Quintet is considered a pioneering influence in the history of rock and roll for incorporating Tex-Mex and Cajun styles into rock music. However, early influences on the band's emerging Texas style were of course broader than this, and included ethnic and pop music from the 1950s and 1960s, such as doo-wop, electric blues, soul music, and British Invasion.

In the mid-1960s, the band relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area and absorbed features of the nascent San Francisco Sound, including the loud and lush electric bass tone and freer percussion and guitar stylings. Band members also explored musical elements specific to modern jazz. For studio recordings, they sometimes added an extra session musician or two, often to flesh out the brass dimension of a track's sound. Good examples of what they produced by absorbing the new jazz and psychedelic elements into their music can be found on the album Sir Douglas Quintet + 2. The lyrics in a Quintet song such as "The Song of Everything" are plainly in the realm of the mystical, whimsical lyrics regarded as one of the characteristics of psychedelic music.

In live performances, blues, often with swing or shuffle beats, was usually a substantial component of the set. Besides doing their own original material, the Quintet revived several classics such as Jimmie Rodgers' "In the Jailhouse Now" and Freddy Fender's "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights" to be found on the albums Son of San Antonio (originally on The Best of The Sir Douglas Quintet, 1966) and Texas Fever (originally on The Return of Doug Saldana, 1971), respectively.

In 2005, they were among the new class of musicians nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the 2006 induction ceremony.

Members
In addition to Sahm and Meyers, original Sir Douglas Quintet members included Jack Barber on bass; Frank Morin on saxophone, trumpet, and keyboards; and Johnny Perez, Ernie Durawa, or T.J. Ritterbach on drums. Martin Fierro joined the band on tenor sax in 1968. In 1969 Harvey Kagan joined the Quintet on bass, forming their most familiar line up – Kagan, Morin, Perez, Sahm, and Meyers. Bassist Jim Stallings also contributed to several albums during this period of shifting personnel which included, among others, guitarist Tom Nay of Sarasota, Florida (who played with the group for about a year) and John York, who later replaced Chris Hillman in The Byrds, and contributions from San Antonio crooner/saxophonist Danny Segovia. Sahm and Meyers were later also members of the Texas Tornados (with Freddy Fender and Flaco Jiménez) in the early 1990s. Frank Morin and Martin Fierro both appeared on the first Mother Earth album "Living With the Animals" (1968). In 1972, the group split up when Sahm contracted to produce a solo album. Meyers, Perez, Morin, and Stallings briefly regrouped as The Quintet, with Sonny Farlow taking Sahm's place. In 1973, several Sir Douglas Quintet outtakes were released in their final album from the group's classic era, Rough Edges.

Sahm and Meyers continued to work together throughout the late 1970s, and rejoined with Perez in 1980 for a reunion tour and album. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the band was joined by Louie Ortega, formerly of the 1960s band Louie & the Lovers and currently of the Texas Tornados.

Founder Doug Sahm died of a heart attack in his sleep in a motel room in Taos, New Mexico, on November 18, 1999, at the age of 58.

Johnny Perez owned Topanga Skyline Studios, with "the Vibe and the Magic of the '70's." Skyline's grand woodwork, welcoming business culture, and "western fort" dirt courtyard set the stage for drummer Perez to mentor and inspire generations of young artists – until his death on September 11, 2012, at the age of 69, in a California hospital, from complications of cirrhosis of the liver.

Harvey Kagan performed with a San Antonio area wedding/event band, The Oh So Good! Band, best known for discovering American Idol contestant Haley Scarnato. Kagan died on July 5, 2019, aged 73.

Augie Meyers continues to tour, and record on his own independent record labels, based in Bulverde, Texas. Frank Morin remains active in music, with teaching, production, and film soundtracks work. Jim Stallings lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico where he plays bass, guitar, and keyboards at local Pro-Jam sessions. He is also in the process of writing his autobiography with heavy emphasis on his time with the Sir Douglas Quintet and the effect that experience had on his life.

Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein, BWV 2

Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein (Oh God, look down from heaven), BWV2, is a chorale cantata composed by Johann Sebastian Bach for the second Sunday after Trinity in 1724. First performed on 18 June in Leipzig, it is the second cantata of his chorale cantata cycle. The church cantata is based on Martin Luther's 1524 hymn "", a paraphrase of Psalm 12.

In the format of Bach's chorale cantata cycle, the words of the hymn are retained unchanged only in the outer movements, while an unknown contemporary librettist paraphrased the inner stanzas for recitatives and arias. Bach structured the cantata in six movements, setting the chorale tune in a chorale fantasia in the opening movement, and in a four-part setting in the closing movement. The two choral movements frame alternating recitatives and arias of three vocal soloists. Bach also used a four-part choir, and a Baroque instrumental ensemble of a choir of trombones, two oboes, strings and continuo. He set the first movement in "archaic" motet style, but the arias in "modern" concertante style, only occasionally reminiscent of the chorale tune.

The cantata was first published in 1851, as No. 2 in the first volume published by the Bach Gesellschaft.

History and words
Bach took office as Thomaskantor, music director in Leipzig, end of May 1723. It was part of his duties to supply music for the Sundays and feast days of the liturgical year at four churches of the town, and he decided to compose new cantatas for these occasions. He began with a cantata for the first Sunday after Trinity in 1723, performed on 30 May, and wrote a series of church cantatas until Trinity of the next year, which became known as his first cantata cycle. The following year, he composed new cantatas for the occasions of the liturgical year, each based on one Lutheran chorale, an effort which became known later as his chorale cantata cycle. He wrote Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein as the second cantata of this cycle, which he began a week before with O Ewigkeit, du Donnerwort, BWV 20.

Bach wrote the cantata for the Second Sunday after Trinity. The prescribed readings for the Sunday were from the First Epistle of John, "He that loveth not his brother abideth in death", and from the Gospel of Luke, the parable of the great banquet. The cantata is based on the chorale in sixth stanzas "", a paraphrase of Psalm 12 by Martin Luther, published in 1524 in the Achtliederbuch, the first Lutheran hymnal. In the format of Bach's chorale cantata cycle, the words of the hymn are retained unchanged in the outer movements, here the first and the sixth, while an unknown contemporary librettist transcribed the ideas of the inner stanzas in poetry for recitatives and arias, which matched the style of Bach's cantatas of the first cycle. Bach first performed the cantata on 18 June 1724.

Structure and scoring
Bach structured the cantata in six movements. The first and last are set for choir as a chorale fantasia and a closing chorale. They frame alternating recitatives and arias with the text arranged by the librettist. Bach scored the work for three vocal soloists (alto (A), tenor (T) and bass (B)), a four-part choir, and a Baroque instrumental ensemble: four trombones (Tb), two oboes (Ob), two violins (Vl), viola (Va), and basso continuo (Bc). The duration of the piece has been stated as 20 minutes.

In the following table of the movements, the scoring follows the Neue Bach-Ausgabe. The keys and time signatures are taken from the book by Bach scholar Alfred Dürr, using the symbols for common time (4/4) and alla breve (2/2). The instruments are shown separately for winds and strings, while the continuo, playing throughout, is not shown.

Movements
The first and last movements set Luther's original words and the original melody, both dating to 1524 and thus already 200 years old when Bach wrote his cantata. Bach used a style that has been called "archaic": the instruments include a choir of trombones doubling the voices.

1
In the opening chorale fantasia, "" (Ah God, look down from heaven), the melody of the chorale is sung by the alto in long notes as a cantus firmus, doubled by two oboes. Dürr calls it an exemplary cantus firmus motet, with each entrance of the chorale tune prepared by fugal entrances of the other voices on the same theme. The instruments double the voices, with the occasional exception of the continuo. John Eliot Gardiner, who conducted the Bach Cantata Pilgrimage in 2000 and recorded Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein at the Basilique Saint-Denis in Paris, assumes that the severe text caused Bach to return to the austere motet style which was already old-fashioned.

2
The second movement is a secco recitative, "" (They teach vain, false deceit, which is opposed to God and His truth), which changes to arioso for two lines that resemble the words of the chorale. These lines are marked adagio, and in them the continuo plays in canon with the voice.

3
The alto aria, "" (O God, remove the teachings that pervert your word!), is written in more modern concertante style with a solo violin as the obbligato instrument, playing lively figuration. The last line of the text remains close to the original, and again Bach quotes the chorale tune.

4
The bass recitative, "" (The wretched are confused), is accompanied by the strings. It changes to arioso during the middle section, which lets God respond to the pleas of the sinners: "Ich muss ihr Helfer sein" (I must be their helper). Even in the outer sections, the string writing enforces a certain rigidity of the rhythm.

5
The tenor aria, "" (Through fire, silver is purified, through the cross the Word is verified.), is accompanied by a concerto of the oboes and strings. The instruments are first silent in the middle section, but return for its transition to the da capo with the words "" (be patient in cross-bearing and distress). Gardiner notes that the instrumental music suggests "liquid movement or the flow of molten metal", and recalls Bach's interest in coins and precious metals, and of contemporary alchemists in Dresden trying to turn base metal to gold for August the Strong, but making porcelain instead.

6
The closing chorale, "" (This, God, you would keep pure before this wicked race; ), is a four-part setting, with all instruments reinforcing the voices.

Manuscripts and publication
The autograph score is held by the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin (Preußischer Kulturbesitz).

The cantata was originally published in 1851 as No. 2 in the first volume of the Bach-Gesellschaft Ausgabe (BGA), edited by Moritz Hauptmann. The New Bach Edition (Neue Bach-Ausgabe, NBA) published the score in 1981, edited by George S. Bozarth, with the critical commentary published in 1984.

Recordings
Recordings of Bach's cantatas began in the first half of the 20th century. Series of recordings, often for broadcasting, were made from 1950. Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Gustav Leonhardt were the first to begin recording the complete cantatas in a 20-year collaboration using period instruments, boys' choirs and boy soloists. Helmuth Rilling completed a recording of the sacred cantatas and oratorios on Bach's 300th birthday, 21 March 1985. Other projects to record all sacred cantatas in historically informed performance were completed by Ton Koopman, John Eliot Gardiner, Pieter Jan Leusink and Masaaki Suzuki. Sigiswald Kuijken began to record a cycle of cantatas for the Complete Liturgical Year with an OVPP choir and historic instruments, the ensemble La Petite Bande.

In the following table, green background indicates an ensemble playing period instruments in historically informed performance. The year is of the recording, then of a release if different.

Diisobutylaluminium hydride

Diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBALH, DIBAL, DIBAL-H or DIBAH) is a reducing agent with the formula (i-Bu2AlH)2, where i-Bu represents isobutyl (-CH2CH(CH3)2). This organoaluminium compound is a reagent in organic synthesis.

Properties
Like most organoaluminum compounds, the compound's structure is most probably more than that suggested by its empirical formula. A variety of techniques, not including X-ray crystallography, suggest that the compound exists as a dimer and a trimer, consisting of tetrahedral aluminium centers sharing bridging hydride ligands. Hydrides are small and, for aluminium derivatives, are highly basic, thus they bridge in preference to the alkyl groups.

DIBAL can be prepared by heating triisobutylaluminium (itself a dimer) to induce β-hydride elimination:
 * (i-Bu3Al)2 → (i-Bu2AlH)2 + 2 (CH3)2C=CH2

Although DIBAL can be purchased commercially as a colorless liquid, it is more commonly purchased and dispensed as a solution in an organic solvent such as toluene or hexane.

Use in organic synthesis
DIBAL is useful in organic synthesis for a variety of reductions, including converting carboxylic acids, their derivatives, and nitriles to aldehydes. DIBAL efficiently reduces α-β unsaturated esters to the corresponding allylic alcohol. By contrast, LiAlH4 reduces esters and acyl chlorides to primary alcohols, and nitriles to primary amines [using Fieser work-up procedure]. DIBAL reacts slowly with electron-poor compounds, and more quickly with electron-rich compounds. Thus, it is an electrophilic reducing agent whereas LiAlH4 can be thought of as a nucleophilic reducing agent.

Although DIBAL reliably reduces nitriles to aldehydes, the reduction of esters to aldehydes is infamous for often producing large quantities of alcohols. Nevertheless, it is possible to avoid these unwanted byproducts through careful control of the reaction conditions using continuous flow chemistry.

DIBALH was investigated originally as a cocatalyst for the polymerization of alkenes.

Safety
DIBAL, like most alkylaluminium compounds, reacts violently with air and water, potentially leading to explosion.

ZEEP

The ZEEP (Zero Energy Experimental Pile) reactor was a nuclear reactor built at the Chalk River Laboratories near Chalk River, Ontario, Canada (which superseded the Montreal Laboratory for nuclear research in Canada). ZEEP first went critical at 15:45 on September 5, 1945. ZEEP was the first operational nuclear reactor outside the United States.

The reactor was designed by Canadian, British and French scientists as a part of an effort to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons during World War II. It was developed while the Montreal Laboratory and Chalk River Laboratories research facility were under the supervision of the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). ZEEP was instrumental in the development of the NRX and NRU reactors, which led to the development of the successful CANDU reactor. ZEEP was used to test reactivity effects and other physics parameters needed for reactor development at Chalk River Laboratories, including fuel lattices for the NRU reactor situated next door.

ZEEP was one of the world's first heavy water reactors, and it was also designed to use natural (unenriched) uranium; a feature carried through to the CANDU design. Uranium enrichment is a complex and expensive process; thus, the ability to use unenriched uranium gave ZEEP and its descendants a number of distinct advantages.

ZEEP continued to be used for basic research until 1970. It was decommissioned in 1973 and dismantled in 1997. In 1966 ZEEP was designated a historic site by Ontario, and commemorated with a historic plaque. Both this plaque and ZEEP itself are now on display at the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa, Canada.
