Michael Jenkins (wide receiver)

Michael Gerard Jenkins (born June 18, 1982) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL). He was selected in the first round of the 2004 NFL draft by the Atlanta Falcons and also played for the Minnesota Vikings. He played college football at Ohio State University.

Early life
Jenkins attended A.P. Leto High School in Tampa, Florida where he was a record-breaking track star. He received many awards for his outstanding athletic performance, stellar academic achievement, and school leadership.

College career
Jenkins became a three-year starter for the Ohio State Buckeyes, starting 38 of his final 39 games, he caught 165 passes for 2,898 yards with a 17.6 average, and scored 16 touchdowns in his career. He finished his career with at least one reception in 38 consecutive games and helped the Buckeyes capture the 2002 BCS National Championship at the 2003 Fiesta Bowl.

His 2,898 yards rank eighth on the Big Ten Conference career-record list, while also topping the previous school career-record of 2,855 by David Boston. Jenkins earned an All-Big Ten Conference honorable mention as a senior after leading the team with 55 receptions for 834 yards with a 15.2 average and 7 touchdowns while adding 178 yards and a touchdown on 20 punt returns. He was also an All-Big Ten Conference second-team choice as a junior after leading the team with a career-high 61 receptions for 1,076 yards (17.6 average) and 6 touchdowns.

During the 2002 Ohio State National championship season, Jenkins made one of the biggest and most memorable catches in Buckeye history, the "Holy Buckeye" play at Purdue. In the first overtime period of Ohio State's victory in the 2002 BCS National Championship game over the Miami Hurricanes, Jenkins caught a pass on 4th and 14 from Craig Krenzel that gave the Buckeyes a first down and eventually allowed the Buckeyes to prevail 31–24 in two overtimes.

2004 season
Jenkins played in all 16 games of his rookie season, recording seven receptions for 119 yards. His 17.0 average led the team and his eight special teams tackles ranked fourth. He made his first NFL reception for 46 yards against the Denver Broncos.

2005 season
With the slump and eventual release of wide receiver Peerless Price, the Falcons turned to Jenkins to start. Although Falcons quarterback Michael Vick turned to him more often, Jenkins was not a gigantic factor in the Falcons' less-than-stellar offense for the 2005 season. He played in 14 games and started 12 of them after Price left for the Dallas Cowboys. Jenkins made his first career start against the Philadelphia Eagles, leading the team with three grabs for 80 yards. He improved from his rookie season, catching 38 passes for 506 yards. He also caught three touchdowns, the first against the ailing Buffalo Bills.

2006 season
Jenkins started all 16 games for the first time in his career and registered 436 receiving yards on a then career-high 39 catches with a career-high seven touchdowns. He led the team with 77 receiving yards on 3 receptions (25.7 average), including a 34-yard touchdown catch in the season opener against the Carolina Panthers.

2007 season
Jenkins had 53 receptions for 532 yards and four touchdowns in his fourth year with the team. He tallied a season-high 76 receiving yards on six receptions against the Carolina Panthers and posted six catches for 64 yards with a career-high two touchdowns against the Houston Texans. Jenkins reached a career-high nine receptions for a team-high 73 yards against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and tied a career-high with nine grabs for a career-high 83 yards against the New Orleans Saints.

2008 season

Jenkins caught the first pass of rookie quarterback Matt Ryan's NFL career and took it for a 62-yard touchdown against the Detroit Lions. Jenkins caught a pass and ran out of bounds, stopping the clock with 1 second left and allowing Jason Elam to successfully convert a 48-yard field goal to defeat the Chicago Bears during their week 6 game.

Jenkins set a new career high in receiving yards in 2008 with 777.

2009 season
Jenkins started for the Falcons in 2009. He finished the season with 50 receptions, 635 yards, and a touchdown.

2010 season
After suffering an injury in an offseason team scrimmage, Michael Jenkins would miss 4 to 6 weeks. As a result, Jenkins started just 9 regular season games for the Falcons in 2010, finishing with 41 receptions for 505 yards and 2 touchdown receptions. Atlanta finished with the best record in the NFC at 13–3, but the Falcons were upset by the eventual Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers in the Divisional Playoffs. In the 48–21 loss to Green Bay, Jenkins recorded 6 receptions for 67 yards.

2011 season
On July 29, 2011, Jenkins was released by the Atlanta Falcons. A day later, he signed with the Minnesota Vikings.

He was placed on injured reserve on November 29, 2011. He caught 38 passes for 466 yards and scored 3 touchdowns during the season.

Minnesota Vikings
Jenkins was signed by the Vikings for a 3-year contract. In week 7 of that year, Jenkins caught a 72-yard pass on the first play of the game, only to be tackled at the 1 yard line. Jenkins had 38 receptions for 466 yards that season. The Vikings would go on to tie the worst season in franchise history, with a 3–13 record.

2012 season and playoffs
Jenkins returned with the Vikings in 2012. Minnesota was 9–6 in week 17 and had to beat the Green Bay Packers to advance to the playoffs. Jenkins caught a diving touchdown in the 4th quarter that gave the Vikings the lead. The Vikings would go on to win that game 37–34, only to lose to the Packers in the first round of playoffs the following week.

On March 4, 2013, Jenkins was released by the Vikings.

New England Patriots
Jenkins signed with the New England Patriots on March 28, 2013. He was released on August 15, 2013.

Personal life
Jenkins and his wife, Toya, currently reside in Georgia. A graduate of A. P. Leto High School in Tampa, Jenkins donated football uniforms to his alma mater in 2008, telling the St. Petersburg Times, "You're always kind of fighting for your school".

Wong Kan Seng

Wong Kan Seng (born 8 September 1946) is a Singaporean former politician who served as 5th Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore between 2005 and 2011 and currently is the chairman of UOB Bank since 2018.

As a member of Singapore's governing People's Action Party (PAP), Wong served in the Cabinet as Minister for Community Development between 1987 and 1991, Leader of the House between 1987 and 2007, Minister for Foreign Affairs between 1988 and 1994, Minister for Home Affairs between 1994 and 2010, Deputy Prime Minister between 2005 and 2011, and Coordinating Minister for National Security between 2010 and 2011. He continued to serve as a Member of Parliament on the backbenches until 2015.

As a Member of Parliament, Wong represented the constituency of Kuo Chuan between 1984 and 1988, the Bishan East division of Thomson GRC between 1991 and 1997, and later Bishan–Toa Payoh GRC between 1997 and 2015.

Education
Wong attended Rangoon Road Primary School, Outram Secondary School and the Adult Education Board (now the Institute of Technical Education) before graduating from the University of Singapore (now the National University of Singapore) in 1970 with a Bachelor of Arts with honours degree in history and English.

Wong subsequently completed a Master of Science degree in business studies at the London Business School in 1979 under a postgraduate scholarship conferred by the Singapore Government when he was a civil servant.

Political career
Prior to entering politics, Wong had worked in both the Civil Service and the private sector. He worked in the Ministry of Labour and Ministry of Defence, before joining Hewlett Packard in 1981 as a personnel manager and left in 1985 for politics.

Wong made his political debut in the 1984 general election as a PAP contesting in Kuo Chuan SMC and won. He contested in Thomson GRC during the 1991 general election before switching to Bishan–Toa Payoh GRC in the 1997 general election.

Wong was appointed Acting Minister for Community Development in 1986. He was made a full member of the Cabinet as Minister for Community Development by Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew in 1987. He was appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs in 1988. In 1994, he became Minister for Home Affairs. Wong had also served as Leader of the House between 1991 and 2007.

Wong was vocal in his capacity as a Cabinet minister when it comes to defending any criticisms of the PAP as being authoritarian, or that the political process was undemocratic with an advantage given to the governing party. He often described the opposition as being disorganised, weak and driven by self-interests. "'The public has no sympathy for them. Neither do I. Why should I? I mean, they mess it up.'"On opposition politician J. B. Jeyaretnam's proposal to establish an independent elections commission, Wong remarked, "It is absurd. I think we cannot be more democratic than we are now. We even allow a loser to be in Parliament and make speeches attacking the government. Where could you find such a democracy in other countries?"

During the World Conference on Human Rights held in 1993, Wong argued that democracy was interpreted differently in Singapore. He claims that its citizens "do not agree that pornography is an acceptable manifestation of free expression or that homosexual relationships are just a matter of lifestyle choice." Wong also believe that excessive emphasis on individual rights over the rights of the community will retard progress.

On 1 September 2005, Wong was appointed Deputy Prime Minister by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, following the retirement of Tony Tan. On 1 November 2010, Wong was appointed Coordinating Minister for National Security and relinquished his Minister for Home Affairs portfolio.

Wong retired from the Cabinet following the 2011 general election. He remains a Member of Parliament and also the special adviser for economic cooperation to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong until 11 September 2015, when he was finally retired from politics after 31 years.

Role in the homeland security in Singapore
As Minister for Home Affairs, Wong was in charge of overseeing emergency planning, dealing with internal threats such as cults and terrorists, involved in law and order, and rooting out of criminals and illegal immigrants.

Mas Selamat escape
On 27 February 2008, alleged Jemaah Islamiyah leader Mas Selamat bin Kastari escaped from Whitley Road Detention Centre, leading to the largest manhunt in Singapore. Wong expressed his regret in Parliament the day after the occurrence.

"This should never have happened. I am sorry that it has."

He revealed that Mas Selamat escaped when he was taken to the toilet before a meeting at the detention centre's family visit room.

Wong was criticised because news of Mas Selamat's escape was not disseminated to the public until four hours after its occurrence. There were calls for Wong to step down, given the severity of the security lapse. Mas Selamat was eventually recaptured in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, on 1 April 2009, by Malaysian authorities, over a year after his escape.

2003 SARS outbreak
Wong was then responsible for co-ordinating the inter-ministerial nationwide effort to counter the SARS epidemic.

Certain measures were taken to contain the virus, including mandatory home quarantine measures, health screening at immigration checkpoints, schools and hospitals and public education programs. On 31 May 2003, Singapore was taken off the World Health Organization's list of SARS-affected countries.

Professional career
Wong returned to the private sector after stepping down from the Cabinet.

Wong was appointed Chairman of Singbridge International, a Temasek Holdings unit dealing with the Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City, in 2011.

Wong was appointed Non-Executive and Independent Director on the Board of Directors at the United Overseas Bank (UOB) in 2017 and was subsequently appointed Chairman in 2018. He is also holding the positions of Chairman of the Executive Committee and Member of the Board Risk Management Committee, Nominating Committee and Remuneration and Human Capital Committee at UOB.

Personal life
Wong is married to Ruth Lee Hong Geok and they have two children.

Vlastimil Hort

Vlastimil Hort (born 12 January 1944) is a Czechoslovak and later German chess Grandmaster. During the 1960s and 1970s he was one of the world's strongest players and reached the 1977–78 Candidates Tournament for the World Chess Championship, but never qualified for a competition for the actual title.

Hort was born in Kladno, Czechoslovakia and was a citizen of Czechoslovakia for the first part of his chess career. He achieved the Grandmaster title in 1965. He won a number of major international tournaments (Hastings 1967–68, Skopje 1969, etc.) and national championships (1970, 1971, 1972, 1975, and 1977). He gained recognition as one of the strongest non-Soviet players in the world, which led to him representing the "World" team in the great "USSR vs. Rest of the World" match of 1970, where he occupied fourth board and had an undefeated +1 score against the Soviet Grandmaster Lev Polugaevsky—in some respects his greatest result. He defected to the West in 1985, moving to West Germany and winning the national championship of his new homeland in 1987, 1989, and 1991.

Zonals and interzonals
Hort participated in a number of Zonal and Interzonal qualifying tournaments to select a challenger for the world title, generally with good results but without reaching the final stages of the Candidates process.

Sousse Interzonal 1967
The 1967 Interzonal tournament at Sousse included among its participants not only Hort, but also the great but volatile Bobby Fischer. While leading the tournament, Fischer was involved in a dispute with the tournament organizers regarding playing schedule that resulted in his forfeiting a game with the Soviet player Aivars Gipslis. While accounts of subsequent events differ, it is clear that he was persuaded to resume play, but then did not appear for his game with Hort, who was awarded a victory by forfeit. Negotiations with the organizers went downhill from this point, and Fischer withdrew from the tournament to begin his penultimate estrangement from grandmaster chess. Hort went on to finish the Interzonal in a tie for sixth with Samuel Reshevsky and Leonid Stein, but did not advance to the Candidates matches, Reshevsky becoming the successful Candidate following a three-way tie-breaking match.

Candidates matches 1977–78
He reached the stage of the Candidates matches of 1977–78 but was eliminated in the first round, in a close match versus the former world champion Boris Spassky.

Hort's long-standing reputation as one of the great sportsmen of chess was enhanced by an event during this match. During the latter stages of the competition, Spassky fell ill and was unable to play. During Candidates matches, each player was allotted a fixed number of rest days to accommodate such situations, but Spassky exhausted his entire allocation of time-outs yet was still unable to compete. At this point Hort could have claimed the match won by forfeit; however, he offered Spassky one of his own time-outs so that the ex-champion could complete his recovery. Spassky did so and went on to win the match by the narrowest possible margin, eliminating Hort from that Candidates cycle.

In the penultimate game of the match Hort had established a clearly winning position, but forgot about the clock, and sat thinking until his time elapsed, handing the win to Spassky. With a draw in the next and final game, Spassky won the match. The following day Hort gave what was then a world record simultaneous exhibition in which he took on over 600 opponents. He explained that he gave the exhibition in order to get the loss against Spassky out of his head.

Olympiad career
Hort played for Czechoslovakia in the Chess Olympiads of 1960, 1962, 1964, 1966, 1968, 1970, 1972, 1974, 1980, 1982, 1984, and for Germany in 1988, 1990, 1992.

Simultaneous play
In 1985, he played a simultaneous exhibition against 636 opponents in Cologne, which earned him an entry in The Guinness Book of Records.

Later career
Hort has appeared numerous times as chess commentator alongside grandmaster Helmut Pfleger on German TV. Despite advancing age he has remained an active tournament competitor, representing the unified Germany and playing inter alia on "Veterans" teams in Scheveningen system matches against teams of Woman Grandmasters. In 2006 he became Senior World Champion in Chess 960. Currently, (August, 2023) his FIDE rating is 2325.

Notable games
The following is a game from the 1967 Zonal tournament (qualifying event for the Sousse Interzonal) held at Halle, East Germany that well illustrates Hort's capacity for converting a positional initiative into a winning attack. His opponent in this game, Dragoljub Minić, was a prominent Yugoslav International Master (later Grandmaster). Note that if Black captures the queen in the final position, White has an elegant mate with 29.Nf4+ Kh4 30.g3+

Virtual folder

In computing, a virtual folder generally denotes an organizing principle for files that is not dependent on location in a hierarchical directory tree. Instead, it consists of software that coalesces results from a data store, which may be a database or a custom index, and presents them visually in the format in which folder views are presented. A virtual folder can be thought of as a view that lists all files tagged with a certain tag, and thus a simulation of a folder whose dynamic contents can be assembled on the fly, when requested. It is related in concept to several other topics in computer science, with names including saved search, saved query, and filtering.

Technology
Virtual folders provide a means for making it easier for users to find files that are content-related, such as by project. The user needs to specify criteria and all files matching the criteria are dynamically aggregated into the virtual folder. Files in a virtual folder are not limited to any single physical location on the hard drive, as is the case with traditional folders, but can be in any location. In fact, files in a virtual folder do not even need to be stored as files on the hard drive. They may be on a network share or in a custom application datastore such as e-mail inbox or even a database.

Documents cannot be "stored" in a virtual folder, since physically a virtual folder is just a file storing a search query. Any attempt to store a file in a virtual folder, depending on the implementation, is redirected to some physical store.

Most implementations speed up searching by pre-indexing the hard drive, or the locations where the search has to be performed. So when searching is to be done, the index, which is a representation of the entire data suitable for fast searching, is used. Since the entire folder hierarchy is not accessed, the search is completed much faster.

Implementations
Virtual folders are a well-established construct in operating systems. BeOS included a version of virtual folders referred to as "saved queries", that has since influenced the development of virtual folder features in operating systems like Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. These virtual folders are populated dynamically by executing a search on the entire file system, or a subset of it, or by using the cached version of the search.

BeOS
The initial developer preview of the operating system, released in October 1995, included database-like functionality to make it easier for users to manage their files. To do this the filesystem indexes certain file attributes to allow for fast searching. By default the filesystem indexes the filename, size and last modified timestamp automatically, but could also create indexes for other attributes when told to by either an application or by the user.

When a user performs a file search, a file is created in the folder "/boot/home/queries" with a name derived from the content of the query and the date and time of the search, such as "Name = Western Infirmary - Mar 21, 11:59:40 PM". The query criteria of the search is stored in an attribute of the file called "qrystr". When the file is opened, the filesystem indexes were queried and a Tracker window is opened with an up-to-date list of files that match the criteria.

Additional features were added to search with subsequent releases. Release 2 introduced the ability to edit saved queries, and Release 3 gave the users the chance to define their own names for saved queries. Before Release 4 in 1998, all queries were stored indefinitely. However, with R4, the BeOS developers introduced a seven-day limit on all queries. If a user wanted a query to stay around longer, they could uncheck a "Temporary" flag in the Find dialog.

macOS
In April 2005, Apple released Mac OS X v10.4, with their implementation of virtual folders called Smart Folders. These folders are dynamically updated by the Spotlight engine to contain content that match certain criteria. For example, this could be used to give you a folder containing all the Word documents containing the word "shpadoinkle" that have been edited within the last 7 days. Smart Folders are created by saving a Spotlight search, which records the search criteria in a Property list file with a .savedSearch extension and, by default, saves them in the "/Users/username/Library/Saved Searches" folder.

Dominic Giampaolo, one of the lead developers of the BeOS filesystem, was also involved in adding a virtual folder system in Apple Inc.'s Mac OS X operating system.

There are many variants of the Smart Folder concept that can be seen in applications that use the Spotlight engine, usually identified by a gear symbol on a purple-hued icon. Examples include: Smart Mailboxes in Mail and Smart Groups in Address Book.

Before Spotlight earlier versions of macOS had a similar concept in the iApps (iTunes and iPhoto), but these did not use the system-wide Spotlight engine.

Saved Searches
Windows Vista released in November 2006 introduced virtual folders to the Windows platform with the introduction of Saved Searches, which present items based on their properties rather than folder hierarchies on disk. Saved Searches are not folders — they do not store items — they instead are XML files that retain a query for utilization by Windows Search. Saved Searches can be defined based on customizable parameters including dates, metadata, names, locations to search (called the scopes), and item types. When a Saved Search is created, the query retains the presentation layout that appeared when the search was first performed such that subsequent searches will present identical arrangements of items. Saved Searches can also be constructed on other Saved Searches (query composition).

By default, Windows Vista references the disk partition and user profile of a created Saved Search as part of its scope, which inhibits their ability to return content from different machines or partitions when transferred to other machines. Microsoft released a SearchMelt Creator utility that changes the scope of Saved Searches to reference the %USERPROFILE% environment variable, which allows them to operate on other machines or profiles; users can also edit Saved Searches manually to reference %USERPROFILE% to facilitate sharing.

Saved Searches additionally allow users to create stacks of data, which are collections of items assembled by properties such as document authors. The same content can appear in more than one stack. Users can, by way of example, first navigate to a specific author stack then to a keyword stack, or to the same keyword stack and to the same author stack without creating new folders or changing the underlying location on disk, which frees users from the limitation of a hierarchical folder structure where one item can only be stored in one location — this liberation from folder hierarchies was a primary benefit and differentiator of WinFS.

Pre-release builds of Windows Vista offered significantly different metadata and namespace functionality in contrast to the functionality of the build of Windows Vista released to manufacturing. Microsoft constructed several Saved Searches as part of its goals for a new user profile namespace, which replaced traditional user profile folders. Documents, My Music, and My Pictures on the Start menu were replaced by Saved Searches — All Documents, All Music, and All Pictures and Videos — that searched for documents, music, and photos and videos, respectively, with several other Saved Searches for specific content (e.g., authors for documents) also displayed in the navigation pane of Windows Explorer. When viewing All Music or traditional folders with music, for example, the navigation pane would include Saved Searches for all music, albums, artists, genres, favorite music, and ratings. Stacks in Saved Searches in pre-release builds of Windows Vista could also be created by users, or write properties to data by drag-and-drop — in a feature known as metadata painting, dragging a document onto an author stack, for example, would assign that author to the document. In later builds, Microsoft replaced these Saved Searches with a single Library Saved Search that aggregated content from all locations with subqueries for individual types (e.g., the Music Library searched Library for all music). Microsoft had sought to include metadata painting and user profile namespace virtual folders since the development of WinFS; the objective was for Saved Searches to become the primary way users interact with data. Microsoft reportedly received extensive feedback that these changes were confusing — having Saved Searches in the new user profile namespace caused users to believe there were several folders with similar names.

Accordingly, Microsoft removed the Library Saved Search and its associated subqueries; however, Windows Vista still includes Recent Documents, Recent E-mail, Recent Music, Recent Pictures and Videos, and Recently Changed Saved Searches, all of which use a single Indexed Locations Saved Search in accordance with the previous Library concept. These Saved Searches were previously known as Last 30 Days Documents, Last 7 Days Email, Fresh Tracks, and Last 30 Days Pictures and Videos.

Libraries
Windows 7 introduces Libraries to display and organize content. Similar to Saved Searches, a Library is an XML file with a unique extension —  extension — and it is a collection of files organized by specified locations. Unlike Saved Searches, however, users must specify folder locations, and Libraries can display content that does not match the type of the Library (e.g., the Pictures Library may display a document if any subfolders include documents). Libraries have a shell namespace extension in Explorer and their XML files can be reused across Windows installations or the network.

GNOME
In GNOME 2.14, a saved search is a virtual folder whose contents are the result of a Nautilus search, which has multiple backends. The contents of these folders are determined dynamically when the folder is opened, and updated automatically when files are created or modified.

Email clients
Virtual folders are also a well-established construct in email clients. In early 1991, the Emacs-based mail reader VM provided a virtual folder facility in its version 5.09. VM allows the users to define virtual folders using rules, taking their mail content from one or more physical folders and based on selection criteria dealing with dates, authors, recipient, subject, message body etc. Virtual folders can also be created interactively and take content from previously defined virtual folders, thereby cascading the selection criteria. The Evolution email client created by Helix Code in 2000, also incorporated virtual folders. Folders can be created that automatically list e-mails matching user-defined rules, for example all e-mail from a particular address or all e-mail that includes a specific keyword. The Opera web browser released a new mail client (beta in November 2002, final version in Jan 2003), M2 in which virtual folders (called access points) were used for all email management. Virtual folders were automatically made for active contacts, for attachments and for assigned labels. Virtual folders were also automatically generated whenever a search was performed, and manual virtual folders could use multiple logical mail header rules for their construction (including using regular expressions). Microsoft Outlook 2003 added a similar feature called Search Folders. Gmail, first released in 2004, bases all of its mail management on virtual folders accessed via labels. Mozilla Thunderbird also has the ability to create search folders and from version 1.5 allowed the search to be done over more than one email account.

Music clients
In July 2002, Apple announced version 3 of iTunes which includes Smart Playlists which can be considered a variant of a virtual folder. The only difference is that the search executed on accessing them is not on the file system's folder hierarchy, but on their internal data-store. Microsoft also added a similar feature to version 9 of Windows Media Player in Windows XP called Auto Playlists in 2003.

Problems I see with Wikipedia
The fact that I'm a Wikipedian and edit articles often doesn't mean I think Wikipedia's run particularly well. I recently came across Wikipedia's introduction page, and was amazed at some of the stuff I read there about Wikipedia's goals and policies. Below, I've written up my thoughts on this article's content and what can be done to improve Wikipedia.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia

"Wales intends that Wikipedia should achieve a 'Britannica or better' quality and be published in print."

Ha ha ha. Good luck. Actually, I think that Wikipedia should be published. The reason a free-enterprise system works so well is that people can review products and avoid the ones of low quality. Sink or swim. If Wikipedia were published, people would immediately take note of all its errors, misrepresentations, and other flaws and reject it, forcing Wikipedia to get actual credentials for its content.

"Wikipedia is built on the belief that collaboration among users will improve articles over time, in much the same way that open-source software develops."

The difference there is that open-source programmers know what they're doing; they have to, to make their software work. Wikipedians needn't have any qualifications in the subject they edit. In addition, an open-source programmer has a vested interest in making a program work well, if he intends to use it. With Wikipedia, if you edit something, it's right there, regardless of whether or not it "works" (i.e., communicates its information well). This is the basis of vandalism and edit wars.

"Its authors need not have any expertise or formal qualifications in the subjects which they edit, and users are warned that their contributions may be 'edited mercilessly and redistributed at will' by anyone who so wishes."

You've got to be kidding me. Editors don't have to have credentials on what they edit? And Wikipedia wants to rival Britannica? Call me old-fashioned, but I think articles should be written by those people who know their subject matter best. This mainly applies to articles that deal with complex issues that defy easy analysis.

"Its articles are not controlled by any particular user or editorial group, and decision-making on the content and editorial policies of Wikipedia is instead done by consensus and occasionally vote, though Jimmy Wales retains final judgment."

Hence edit wars. Without any central authority in control of articles, it becomes impossible to settle disputes. If an encyclopedia can't make up its mind on a topic, what makes anyone think it's reputable?

The "rule by consensus" is also a rather disturbing policy. Consensus is really little more than mob rule. What's needed is a qualified authority to decide on the content that it knows best. People with no qualifications on a topic shouldn't be in control of its content; leave that to the people who actually know the stuff.

"Wikipedia requires that contributors observe a 'neutral point of view' when writing, and not include original research. Neutral point of view, itself a 'non-negotiable' policy, articulates the encyclopedia's goal as 'representing disputes, characterizing them, rather than engaging in them.' If achieved, Wikipedia would not be written from a single 'objective' point-of-view, but would fairly present all views on an issue, attributed to their adherents in a neutral way. The policy states that views should be given weight equal to their popularity."

Huh? What? Excuse me? What about correct point of view? Sometimes I think that many people here forget that there are such things as verifiable, true facts. If a view is wrong, it shouldn't be in there. Period.

Views should be given weight equal to their correctness. An encyclopedia presents facts, not disputes. If one view if wrong, it isn't included, regardless of how many people hold it.

"Wikipedia has been criticized for a perceived lack of reliability, comprehensiveness, and authority."

With good reason. It has no reliability, because anyone can edit it, as opposed to the people who are qualified to edit certain articles. It also has no authority, depending on consensus and not correctness to resolve disputes.

"It is considered to have no or limited utility as a reference work among many librarians, academics, and the editors of more formally written encyclopedias."

Actual encyclopedias, you mean.

"Critics argue that allowing anyone to edit makes Wikipedia an unreliable work. In response to this criticism, proposals have been made to provide various forms of provenance for material in the articles, e.g., see Wikipedia:Provenance. However, these proposals are quite controversial."

This is certainly a step in the right direction. I honestly have trouble imaging anyone who'd have trouble with an enyclopedia being required to contain real facts.

"Wikipedia contains no formal peer review process for fact-checking, and the editors themselves may not be well-versed in the topics they write about."

Okay then, that settles it. Wikipedia is not, and never will be, an encyclopedia as long as this policy is in effect. An encyclopedia contains facts, and facts need to be proven true or discarded. Without that, they're useless.

"Wikipedia's editing process assumes that exposing an article to many users will result in accuracy. Referencing Linus's law of open-source development, Sanger stated earlier: 'Given enough eyeballs, all errors are shallow.'"

As I said before, the comparison with open-source software isn't really valid, because software requires a certain level of expertise to make it work. If I read over programming code and decide to edit something I know nothing about, I'm pretty likely to mess up the program somewhere. If I read over a Wiki article and decide to edit something I know nothing about, it's still there. A program will stop working if it isn't coded right, so it automatically weeds out bad code (to an extent). That weeding out of bad text would normally occur in a peer-review process, but Wikipedia isn't peer-reviewed.

"Conversely, in an informal test of Wikipedia's ability to detect misinformation, its author remarked that its process 'isn't really a fact-checking mechanism so much as a voting mechanism', and that material which did not appear 'blatantly false' may be accepted as true."

There you go. Mob rule, simply said. Detecting misinformation should be a process of determining what actually is wrong, not voting on what people think (without needing any qualifications) is wrong.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view

"The policy is easily misunderstood. It doesn't assume that writing an article from a single, unbiased, objective point of view is possible. Instead it says to fairly represent all sides of a dispute by not making articles state, imply, or insinuate that only one side is correct."

Again with the ambivalence toward correctness. But what if one side is correct? Verifiably, truly correct? I often think that Wikipedia's founders often forget (or don't know) that there are such things as true facts, things that are true whether one believes them to be true or not. As I've said before, an encyclopedia is the place for facts, not controversies. Factually documenting controversies is possible, but the issues that are controversial often have one correct position.

South Col

The South Col is a col between Mount Everest and Lhotse, the highest and fourth-highest mountains in the world, respectively. The South Col is typically swept by high winds, leaving it free of significant snow accumulation. Since 1950 (when Tibet was closed), most Everest expeditions have left from Nepal and gone via the southeast ridge and the South Col (instead of via the North Col). When climbers attempt to climb Everest from the southeast ridge in Nepal, their final camp (usually Camp IV) is situated on the South Col.

The South Col was first reached on 12 May 1952 by Aubert, Lambert, and Flory of Edouard Wyss-Dunant's Swiss Mount Everest Expedition which failed to reach the summit. The following year, when Mount Everest was first climbed, Wilfrid Noyce and the Sherpa Annullu were the first climbers on the expedition to reach the col. According to John Hunt, the expedition leader: "It was 2.40 p.m. Wilfrid Noyce and his companion Annullu stood at that moment above the South Col of Everest, at about 26,000 ft. They were gazing down on the scene of the Swiss drama, and they were also looking upwards to the final pyramid of Everest itself. It was a great moment for them both, and it was shared by all of us who watched it. Their presence there was symbolic of our success in overcoming the most crucial problem of the whole climb; they had reached an objective which we had been striving to attain for twelve anxious days."

Once on the South Col, climbers have entered the death zone; altitude sickness is a significant threat at this elevation and can easily prove fatal. It is also difficult to sleep, and most climbers' digestive systems have significantly slowed or completely stopped. This is because it is more efficient at this altitude for the body to use stored energy sources than to digest new food. Most climbers will begin using supplemental oxygen here and have a maximum of only two or three days to make summit bids. Clear weather and low winds are critical factors in deciding whether to make a summit attempt. If the weather is not favourable within these short few days, climbers are forced to descend, many back to Base Camp. Climbers rarely get a second chance to return to the South Col on a specific expedition.

In 2005, Didier Delsalle of France landed a Eurocopter AS350 B3 helicopter on the South Col. Two days later he made the first helicopter landing on the summit of Mount Everest, a feat he subsequently repeated.

In May 2019, the highest weather stations in the world were installed at Everest, with one location at the South Col, and another on a place higher up on the peak known as "The Balcony" as well as some other stations and locations. The weather stations are about 7 ft tall and weigh 110 lb. On 21 July 2022, a maximum temperature of -1.4 °C was registered at the South Col.

I live in Auckland, Aotearoa and I am interested in a wide range of subjects and really enjoy using Wikipedia just for fun or school assignments, etc. Politically, I am very left wing, believing in social equality and things such as the freedom of Palestine and Chechnya, although I always try my best to present a balanced viewpoint in my writings as NPOV is one of the basic tenets of Wikipedia.

Graham Wiggins

Graham Wiggins (October 25, 1962 – September 7, 2016) was an American musician and scientist. He played the didgeridoo, keyboards, melodica, sampler, and various percussion instruments with his groups, the Oxford-based Outback and Dr. Didg. He also developed new technologies for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Early life and education
Graham Wiggins was born on 25 October 1962 in New York City, United States to an Australian mother and a British father from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, and grew up in New York. He graduated from Paul D. Schreiber High School in Port Washington, NY in 1980. Although his first instruments were piano and horn, he first taught himself to play the didgeridoo while a physics student at Boston University in 1982, after hearing Warren Senders demonstrating a cardboard-tube didgeridoo as part of a "world music" concert series in Boston. He graduated from Boston University in 1985, relocating to Oxford, England for postgraduate study. In order to earn extra money there to complete his doctorate he also performed as a busking didgeridoo player. He earned his nickname Dr. Didg while testing his didgeridoo in the Clarendon physics laboratory.

Musical career
In 1983 Wiggins invented a keyed version of the didgeridoo, which allows it to be played melodically somewhat in the manner of an ophicleide, a keyed brass instrument which Wiggins was able to try at the Bate Collection, a musical instrument museum at Oxford University's Faculty of Music in St Aldate's, Oxford. The first prototype was made out of a cardboard wrapping paper tube and had first only one, then four valves, allowing the instrument to play a total of five distinct pitches. He used it in only one concert, after which it fell apart. He refined this model in 1990, using the machine tools at the Clarendon Laboratory at Oxford University. It is made from wengé (an African hardwood) with brass hardware. It has eight keys, which allows for the playing of nine different pitches. He unveiled it publicly for the first time on the British national television program called Tomorrow's World. The instrument may be heard on several Dr. Didg tracks, most notably "Sub Aqua," on the 2002 CD Dust Devils, as well as "Sun Tan," on the 1994 CD Out of the Woods.

In 1988, he formed the core of Outback with guitarist Martin Cradick, a band that blended Australian tribal sounds with modern music. He obtained a record deal before completing his thesis. Following the dissolution of that group in 1991, he spent two months in early 1992 living in the Aboriginal community of Galiwinku on Elcho Island, off the coast of Arnhem Land, in Australia's Northern Territory, where he studied the advanced traditional didgeridoo techniques of the area. With the exception of a few songs such as "Brolga," Wiggins' compositions are generally not based primarily on traditional Aboriginal structures, but instead on the use of the instrument's percussive, rhythmic, and melodic capabilities. In 1993, Wiggins formed the group Dr. Didg. In 1994, he began using the technique of live sampling, which became the foundation of the Dr. Didg album Out of the Woods.

Wiggins played with the Grateful Dead in 1993 at the Mardi Gras show at the Oakland Coliseum in California, and recorded with Mickey Hart on the albums Mickey Hart's Mystery Box and Supralingua as part of the Grammy Award-winning ensemble Planet Drum. After a few years hiatus, Dr. Didg began touring again in 2010, including performances at the All Good Music Festival at Marvin's Mountaintop in Masontown, West Virginia, and Meeting of the Minds III in Poyntelle, Pennsylvania.

After 15 years living in Oxford, Wiggins moved back to Boston in the spring of 2000.

Scientific career
Wiggins held a D.Phil in solid-state physics from Oxford University. He worked as an engineer in the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston from 2003 to 2008. During this time, he helped to develop new technology for MRI scanners, including many-element detector arrays that enabled the acquisition of faster and sharper images.

In 2008, Wiggins moved to New York to become the Director of Radiofrequency (RF) Engineering in the Department of Radiology at New York University (NYU) Grossman School of Medicine. The RF engineering group he led introduced various innovations in the design of MRI detectors and transmitters for a range of applications in research and clinical imaging. Wiggins remained at NYU until his death, at age 53, in September of 2016.

Titular/auxiliary bishops buried?
The titular bishops are buried on the west side and the auxiliary bishops on the east-hand side. This does not make sense. Auxiliary bishops are titular bishops. Since the text does not mention ordinaries, I must assume that that is what was meant by "titular" but since the text also does not cite a source, I am powerless to ascertain the truth of my assumption!

Jacob Pollak

Rabbi Jacob Pollak (other common spelling Yaakov Pollack), son of Rabbi Joseph, was the founder of the Polish method of halakhic and Talmudic study known as the Pilpul.

Biography
He was born about 1460 or 1470 in Poland, and died at Lublin in 1541. He was a pupil of Jacob Margolioth of Nuremberg, with whose son Isaac he officiated in the rabbinate of Prague about 1490; but he first became known during the latter part of the activity of Judah Minz (d. 1508), who opposed him in 1492 regarding a question of divorce. Pollak's widowed mother-in-law, a wealthy and prominent woman, who was even received at the Bohemian court, had married off her second daughter, who was still a minor, to the Talmudist David Zehner. Regretting this step, she wished to have the marriage annulled; but the husband refused to permit a divorce, and the mother, on Pollak's advice, sought to have the union dissolved by means of the declaration of refusal (mi'un) on the part of the wife, permitted by Talmudic law. Menahem of Merseburg, a recognized authority, had decided half a century previously, however, that a formal letter of divorce was indispensable in such a case, although his opinion was not sustained by the Oriental rabbis. When, therefore, Pollak declared the marriage of his sister-in-law null and void, all the rabbis of Germany protested, and even excommunicated him until he should submit to Menahem's decision. Judah Minz of Padua also decided against Pollak, who was sustained by one rabbi only, Meïr Pfefferkorn, whom circumstances compelled to approve this course (Judah Minz, Responsa, No. 13; Grätz, Gesch. 2d ed., ix. 518).

Pollak had a further bitter controversy, with Minz's son Abraham, regarding a legal decision, in which dispute more than 100 rabbis are said to have taken part (Ibn Yaḥya, Shalshelet ha-Ḳabbalah, ed. Amsterdam, p. 51a).

Legacy
After the accession of King Sigismund I in 1506, many Jews left Bohemia and went to Poland, founding a community of their own at Kraków. Pollak followed them, officiating as rabbi and organizing a school for the study of the Talmud, which, up to that time, had been neglected in Poland. This institution trained young men to introduce the study of the Talmud into other Polish communities. In 1530 Pollak went to the Holy Land, and on his return took up his residence at Lublin, where he died on the same day as his opponent, Abraham Minz. His most famous pupils were Rabbi Shalom Shachna of Lublin, Meïr of Padua (Maharam Padua) and the Maharal of Prague.

Pollak, in transferring the study of the Talmud from Germany, where it had been almost entirely neglected in the sixteenth century, to Poland, initiated a movement which in the course of time dominated the Talmudic schools of the latter country. The sophisticated treatment of the Talmud, which Pollak had found in its initial stage at Nuremberg, Augsburg, and Regensburg, was concerned chiefly with the mental gymnastics of tracing relationships between things widely divergent or even contradictory and of propounding questions and solving them in unexpected ways.

Works
Neither he nor Rabbi Shalom Shachna, one of his most famous students, authored any books. The latter's son Rabbi Israel Shachna said that neither his father nor his father's rebbe wished to bind future generations to their rulings, and cited other rabbis who likewise had refrained from committing their legal ruling to book form.

Pollak's contemporaries were unanimous in regarding him as one of the great men of his time, although the exaggerations to which his method eventually led were later criticized with severity (comp. Gans, "Ẓemaḥ Dawid," ed. Offenbach, p. 31a). Pollak himself, however, was not responsible for these, since he modestly refrained from publishing the decisions at which he arrived by his system, not wishing to be regarded as a casuist whose decisions were to be implicitly followed.

Only a few quotations from him are found in the works of other authors.

User talk:Srihari ravi

Hello readers.

I have a great interest in Indian classical music. Hence I thought it would be right to begin my article with it.

Indian classical music is a very old form of music, aging many many centuries. It is mainly a form of music devoted to the praise of the Hindu Gods and Goddesses. For many ancient saints, music was not a profession, but a means to reach God. Saints spent much of their time singing in the praise of God, mostly their favorite deity. On the fact that the Hindus have many forms of the divine, we easily find innumerable songs on all the Gods.

Saints like Mirabai, Annamacharya, Ramadasa, Purandaradasa, Thyagaraja were prominent among all the saints. It is only an assumption, bearing on the popularity of their compositions.

Cyberdeck
I changed the term cyberdeck to "head computer". The cyberdeck is nothing more than an interface between a decker's brain/head computer and the matrix. It looks like an oversized contemporary computer keyboard with two ports. One has a cable which plugs into the decker's head. The other port has a cable which plugs into a matrix access point. Prior to editing, the article stated that the cyberdeck existed inside Jake's head.

oops..
sorry guys im new to the wiki, i addd the source for the game's composer, and everything else disappered. :( —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.243.92.242 (talk) 01:58, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Pornographic Images
I removed the paragraph "It contained many crude pornographic images, these helped thrust the game to the cult status." I have played the game myself, to the end, and never saw one of these, and I found no reference on the web either, so I guess this is either a mistake or a bad joke. 213.47.127.75 12:29, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I own the game, and have played it through to the end. There are no such images whatsoever.  Stovetopcookies 19:07, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I was the lead programmer on Shadowrun, there were never any pornographic images, just suggestive conversations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.185.15.242 (talk) 03:15, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Box art
Ugh. If we're keeping the box art at that size, we need a higher resolution pic. --Pagrashtak 04:09, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Sequel?
Wasn't their suposed to be a sequel to this game? I know it never did come out (maybe it wasen't even started), but at the end of the game [after the credits I think] I remember Drake saying something along the lines of "I'll see you again Artimage, in Shadowrun II!" 142.163.31.88 03:47, 6 February 2006 (UTC) Alucard A. Nikitich

 * I don't remember this happening (I've beaten the game twice). I also think they would have realized that a new Shadowrun game probably wouldn't use the same characters. - furrykef (Talk at me) 07:06, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, this was in fact said in the ending, but (sadly) the game never game out. Stovetopcookies 19:09, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

It was mentioned at the end. There was no sequel because Data East were going broke. There was a pitch done using the engine for a version of the hobbit, but since this was pre LOTR movies no one was interested. darren.m.bremner@gmail.com Lead on Shadowrun — Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.185.15.242 (talk) 03:17, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

removed trivia item

 * The game curbs the difficulty carefully by only allowing a weak pistol and armour to be obtained early on, then through hard work the first gunshop has guns up to shotgun and mesh armour although this can be found, this remains the default until the Vampire mission when you obtain access to the gunshop on grounds, it has new stock every mission completed. The weapons range froma fast autofire uzi, to a rifle, to a cannon. There is some arguement that the uzi because of the autofire is a better weapon. This is relative as later in the game (much like the weapon and armour upgrades) you can obtain Cyberware from the doctor who removed your bomb. One such is wired reflexes which allows the player to shoot faster, this allows the greater damage potential of the rifle and cannon to outstrip the uzi.

Making a difficulty curve in this manner is almost universal in console RPGs, making it too obvious to mention. But the thing about the Uzi might belong, but perhaps not under Trivia. - furrykef (Talk at me) 07:22, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Loosely based on a novel
I've added that the game's storyline is loosely based on the first Shadowrun novel, Never Deal With A Dragon, by Robert N. Charrette. Anyone who has read the novel and played the game should easily note the similarities. The plot of the book involves a megacorporation called Renraku, which is secretly building an A.I. (for some reason, the game designers changed the name of Renraku to "Aneki", which, in the book, is the name of Renraku's CEO). The book also features a mysterious protagonist named "Drake", who is later revealed to be a villainous Dragon. And, like Jake, the protagonist of the book eventually discovers that he is a Dog Shaman.Skullord 21:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

What's with the weasles
You know that guy dancing near the train. He says "can't stop the weasles are closing in" but what the heck does this mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kanerilis (talk • contribs) 22:28, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Do you always look for meaning in what a crazy person says? John2kx (talk) 04:23, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

It was Jeff Kamenek's sick sense of humour. Yes, it was meant to show the guy was a bit nutty. BTW, Jeff was a programmer, not an artist. Also Arthur was responsible for much of the design, Paul Kidd really had stuff all to do with the project other than a one or two page story outline that had very little resemblance to the final game. I have seem him claim credit for the design before, very disappointed he is do that. darren.m.bremner@gmail.com Lead on Shadowrun — Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.185.15.242 (talk) 03:21, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Cameron Duncan

Cameron Troy Duncan (20 April 1986 – 12 November 2003) was a filmmaker from New Zealand.

Life and film career
Duncan was of Māori descent and was raised in Auckland and attended Avondale College. Duncan completed many home videos but finished only two short films, DFK6498 and Strike Zone. The former dealt with his cancer diagnosis and subsequent loss of freedom, drawing analogy between the limitations imposed by the disease and a prison sentence. The latter film was devoted to his love of softball. Both films received recognition at the Wanganui Rivercity Film Festival. In 2002 DFK6498 won the best script and the viewers choice awards, with Duncan winning the best director award, while in 2003, Strike Zone won the best film award. He was also successful in the Fair Go Ad Awards, with his entries in 1999 and 2003 winning the award for best high school entries in their respective years. The advertisement he created for the 1999 competition was officially adopted by TVNZ and played on television for its message concerning road safety. He flew to Tijuana, Mexico for alternative treatment for his bone cancer. He died on 12 November 2003 in Texas at the age of 17.

Relationship with Lord of the Rings
Near the end of his life he befriended Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh. His illness also helped to inspire Fran Walsh to write the lyrics for the Oscar-winning song, "Into the West" for the film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. After his death, his work as well as an explanatory documentary was put onto the Extended Edition DVD set for The Return of the King.

On the set of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, he received blessings from Viggo Mortensen and Sir Ian McKellen as well as a signed photo from John Rhys-Davies. He was going to make a cameo in the film, but as his health deteriorated, it became impossible for him to do so.

Legal battle after death
Duncan's family have made approaches through the NZ ethics system to use his frozen sperm. His sister and her female partner want to use the sperm and it is alleged that his mother has ownership rights.

Talk:Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita

Thoughts of a sufferer of this condition
Although the above is mostly accurate, from what I have found out since I was old enough to both understand and investigate the condition further, there are several things in the above that I would disagree strongly with.

Firstly, as I understand it from what I have discussed with the specialists responsible for treating me, the majority of cases are actually leaning towards the severe side, with even the minor ones having quite heavily restricted joint movement, and even in the rarest of mild cases it can limit your career options and hinder your performance in life.

Also, from my understanding of the condition, it is also genetic, and can potentially (but not always be passed on) (I myself (Mark Fox) Suffer from it in what can be considered to be a very mild case which left me unable to use my fingers at all until quite a late stage in my childhood. 20 years on from the initial diagnosis, I still lack the full use of my fingers, and still suffer from pain after extended periods of activity)

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Madon. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Madon~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:15, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

The following Perl script is a hack for converting Wikipedia citations from the inote convention to the ref/note convention. The result is fed to standard output. The script handles both single-argument and double-argument inote tags. The scripts' work is quite obvious as citations are systematically labelled AR1, AR2 and so on unless a second argument is provided for the inote tag. Both inote tags and inote-explain tags should be completely removed from the output. The script is designed to assist the human editing of Wikipedia articles, not replace it. Please feel free to make changes to this page if you feel they would improve the script. If you have comments on the script please feel free to post them on the talk page.

Philip Greeley Clapp

Philip Greeley Clapp (August 4, 1888 – April 9, 1954) was an American educator, conductor, pianist, and composer of classical music.

He served as Director of the School of Music at the University of Iowa for more than three decades (1919–1953), helping to establish that school's strong reputation in music and in the arts overall. He worked especially hard in advocating that music and the other arts should be an integral part of a liberal arts education, and succeeded in creating strong graduate programs that awarded degrees not just in scholarship and research but also in performance and creation. Among his students was Gene Gutchë.

As a composer, Clapp followed firmly in the line of Romantic and Impressionist works created by Wagner, Mahler, Strauss and Debussy, as well as perhaps Liszt, and others, but adding his own distinctly American style and ideas about orchestration. Although a number of his compositions were never performed, several of his twelve symphonies were premiered by major orchestras and conductors, including Dimitri Mitropoulos and the New York Philharmonic, who gave the first public performance of the Eighth Symphony in Carnegie Hall on February 7, 1952. Karl Muck arranged for him to conduct the world premieres of his First and Third Symphonies with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
