Noise Unit

Noise Unit is a Canadian industrial band, founded by Bill Leeb of Front Line Assembly as a side project. The band has seen several changes in line-up, with Bill Leeb being the only permanent member.

History
Noise Unit's first album, Grinding into Emptiness, arose from the collaboration between Leeb and Marc Verhaeghen of Belgian industrial band Klinik. It was released in 1989 through Wax Trax!, and Antler-Subway.

The 1990 album Response Frequency included Rhys Fulber. After the completion of the album, Verhaeghen left Noise Unit for several years. Fulber remained with the band for the next three releases, including the contemporary techno album Decoder in 1995.

Verhaeghen resumed his collaboration with Noise Unit for the 1996 album Drill, which also featured members of German industrial band Haujobb.

After an eight-year hiatus, Leeb teamed with former Front Line Assembly member Chris Peterson in 2004 to release Voyeur in 2005. Jason Filipchuk and Michael Balch also contributed to the album. The album peaked at #4 on the German Alternative Charts (DAC) and ranked #26 on the DAC Top Albums of 2005.

In 2016, Canadian label Artoffact reissued the albums Grinding Into Emptiness, Response Frequency and Drill on vinyl and CD.

Deviator
In May 2020, it was announced that Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb were working on a new Noise Unit album, the first in 15 years. On November 24, 2020, album title Deviator and cover were revealed. The cover art was created by Dave McKean. In May 2021, Artoffact scheduled the release date for September 17 the same year and made the second album track "Body Aktiv" available to the public via Bandcamp. The album contained ten tracks and featured Raymond Watts on the track "Atrocity Obsession". In July 2021, Artoffact released a lyric video for this track on their YouTube channel.

Cheeba City Blues
In July 2022, Artoffact announced the release of a new Noise Unit album titled Cheeba City Blues for October 21, 2022. The announcement coincided with the release of the single Alone Again, co-written by former member Jeremy Inkel before his death in January 2018. One month later the band followed up with the release of the second single Dub it Up.

Iroh

General Iroh, credited as Uncle is a fictional character in Nickelodeon's animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the character was voiced by Mako in the first two seasons and, due to Mako's death, by Greg Baldwin in the third season and the sequel series The Legend of Korra.

Iroh is a very powerful firebender—i.e., he has the power to telekinetically create and manipulate fire—and a retired general of the Fire Nation. He is the elder brother of Fire Lord Ozai, the ruler of the Fire Nation and leader of its campaign to conquer the other three nations. During the narrative of the series, he accompanies his exiled nephew Zuko on his quest to capture the series's protagonist Aang to restore the young prince's honor and birthright; Iroh acts as a mentor who seeks to help his nephew become a better person than his father.

In the episode "The Tales of Ba Sing Se", Iroh's name was written as 艾洛. The episode was dedicated "In Honor of Mako", who had died some months before the episode aired.

Character history
Prior to the events in The Last Airbender, Iroh was the firstborn son of Fire Lord Azulon, but Azulon was succeeded by his second son, Ozai, following Iroh's retreat from military affairs after his son Lu Ten died in the siege of the Earth Kingdom's capital Ba Sing Se, which had held against numerous successive Fire Nation efforts at capture during the duration of the Hundred Year War. Iroh had a vision early in life that he would be the one to capture the city, but the death of his only son broke his desire to continue in the effort; having always been driven more by a sense of duty than personal ambition, Iroh abandoned the siege.

Ozai, the far more opportunistic and ambitious of the brothers, attempted to convince their father that, owing to Iroh's shameful defeat, decreased standing in the nation, and lack of heirs, Ozai ought to be made heir to the leadership of the Fire Nation. However, Azulon was incensed at this lack of respect for Iroh's position and his loss and ordered Ozai to kill his own son, Prince Zuko, as an act of atonement. Instead, Ozai's wife Princess Ursa conspired with Ozai to assassinate Azulon and seize the leadership while Iroh was in mourning and disinterested in state affairs; with the life of her son on the line, she assisted Ozai in a successful poisoning of Azulon, accepting banishment for her role. Ozai ascended to the position of Fire Lord: although the events immediately following Azulon's secret murder are never depicted in flashbacks, it seems that his death was explained as the result of natural causes and that the still-mourning Iroh had no interest in challenging his brother for control of the nation, instead acquiescing to Ozai's investiture as Fire Lord and entering a permanent semi-retirement from state affairs.

Iroh was believed to have killed off the last of the world's dragons, which along with his ability to breathe fire earned him the title "The Dragon of the West"; but in actuality he was secretly the pupil of the last two dragons, Ran and Shao, and thus learned from them to derive his firebending powers from vitality rather than from rage as most of his contemporary firebenders did; Iroh lied about killing the last of the dragons to bring an end to the Fire Nation tradition of dragon hunts. He was a high-ranking member (Grand Lotus) of the international secret society known as the Order of the White Lotus.

Plot overview
When the story begins in Book One, Iroh is accompanying his nephew the banished Prince Zuko in his quest to capture the Avatar, a superhuman whose task to maintain world order makes him a threat to the Fire Nation's campaign of conquest. Having learnt of the plan of Zhao, a Fire National admiral, to kill the moon spirit to take away the Water Tribes' power of waterbending, disrupting the natural order, Iroh attacks Zhao and is named a traitor.

During Book Two, he and his nephew are now fugitives from the Fire Nation. After being gravely wounded by his niece Azula and cared for by his nephew, Iroh teaches Zuko a waterbending-inspired technique of redirecting lightning, which can be generated by an advanced form of firebending which Zuko, with his unfocused mind, has been unable to master, but which his sister and competitor to the throne, easily commands, being a firebending prodigy. Iroh eventually takes refuge in Ba Sing Se, where he and Zuko operate a tea-house. Iroh is dismayed when Azula convinces her brother to betray them and is arrested while covering Aang and his friends' escape from the conquered city.

In Book Three, held in a Fire Nation prison, Iroh fakes madness while preparing himself for the solar eclipse, during which Firebending does not work. Once the eclipse begins, Iroh escapes his cell, being a formidable opponent even without the use of firebending. In the series finale, Iroh has called the White Lotus to free Ba Sing Se from the Fire Nation—fulfilling his childhood vision, but as a liberator, not a conqueror. After the war ends, Iroh is offered the Fire Lord's throne, but he asks Zuko to be crowned instead. Soon after Zuko's coronation as Fire Lord, Iroh returns to Ba Sing Se to operate his tea shop; the final scenes of the series take place in that shop.

In the comic book sequel The Promise, Iroh offers Aang and Zuko advice on dealing with the Harmony Restoration Movement, a movement that aims to expel members of the Fire Nation ethnic group from Earth Kingdom territory; he also invents bubble tea. In the comic book The Search, Iroh becomes acting Firelord while Zuko travels to locate his mother Ursa. Bored with his new title, he uses his authority to declare a National Tea Appreciation Day.

In the sequel series The Legend of Korra, Iroh is revealed to have used a form of astral projection to become a resident of the Spirit World. In the episode "A New Spiritual Age", Iroh comes to the aid of Aang's successor as Avatar, Korra, who is trapped unprepared deep in the Spirit World. In the episode "Darkness Falls", having known them in life, Iroh encounters Aang's children Tenzin, Kya, and Bumi when they enter the Spirit World and provides them with hints as to the location of the spirit of Tenzin's daughter Jinora. Korra again encounters Iroh in "The Ultimatum", when she enters the Spirit World in search of the anarchist terrorist Zaheer. Korra explains to Iroh that she is confused and doesn't know how to deal with the threat Zaheer poses to both the newly reformed Air Nation and the world. Iroh suggests that Korra seek Zuko's counsel, as Aang once did.

Zuko's grandson is named Iroh in honor of his great-granduncle, and is a general of the United Forces, the armed services of the United Republic of Nations, a multi-ethnic nation founded by Aang and Zuko out of territories that were disputed between the Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom after the end of the Hundred Years' War.

Personality
Easygoing, friendly and dryly good-humored, Iroh treats his self-imposed exile like an extended vacation. In his old age, he shows more interest in relaxation and amusement than in his nephew's pursuit of the Avatar. Despite his age, Iroh is seen flirting with various women throughout the series and has been addressed as "handsome" on multiple occasions. Nevertheless, he is a seasoned and wily strategist, a powerful Firebending master and a loving and sagely mentor to his nephew. In general, Iroh's inherent nature and the course of his life have brought him to a philosophy that embraces peacefulness, harmony, and mutual understanding rather than conflict. However, when he is personally threatened or observes injustice and violence against the innocent, he is capable of becoming a fierce and intimidating adversary.

Contrary to the direction in which his nation has moved in the years since his grandfather Sozin set it on a mission of conquest, Iroh would rather see the four nations live in mutual peace; though he has been unwilling to plunge his nation into civil war by asserting his claim to the position of Firelord (a station he does not want), it becomes increasingly clear that he views his nephew as possessing the potential to lead the nation down a better path, and when the time comes, he encourages Zuko to intercede to prevent the investiture of his sister, the callous and unstable Azula, as the next Firelord. In "Tales of Ba Sing Se", it is suggested that some of his perpetual optimism and generosity are a form of post-traumatic growth resulting from the death of his son Lu Ten. This can be seen in his song "Leaves from the Vine", which he sings on the anniversary of Lu Ten's birthday.

Iroh is particularly fond of food, good tea, the strategy game Pai Sho, and pleasant music. He later displays skill at playing the pipa and other musical instruments. Most likely because of his love of tea, he is an amateur botanist, though his misinterpretation of some plant characteristics leads him to accidentally poison himself. His character is best shown in his relationship with his nephew, Zuko, upon whom he imposes introspection.

Firebending and special skills
Iroh is a retired general with a lifetime of combat experience and a reputation of honor, loyalty and integrity. Iroh is highly skilled in firebending; the Avatar show creators based the forms of this fictional form of combat upon the real-life Chinese martial arts techniques of changquan, Shaolin kung fu, Southern Dragon kung fu and xingyiquan. Iroh also taught Zuko how to redirect lightning, a technique he discovered by studying waterbending. He also had the ability to generate lightning, a skill he shared with Ozai and Azula.

Reception
Iroh was a well-received character in the series. He was seen as Zuko's foil with him being the elderly, mellow and wise individual and Zuko being the young abrasive naïve prince. Iroh and Zuko's relationship was praised for its authenticity and humor. Iroh is described as a "mystical buddha" who served as Zuko's moral compass. In some circles, Iroh was viewed as an inspirational character, with his quotes on the series described as encouraging. While many of the series' other major characters were maturing throughout the course of the series, Iroh was already a "changed man" who already suffered tremendous loss and "matured" through that loss. Iroh's vignette in the episode "The Tales of Ba Sing Se", was described as an "emotional gut-punch" by reviewer Rebecca Pahle. Reviewer Hayden Childs characterized Iroh's vignette as "a lovely piece of storytelling" and praised Mako's "amazing performance" in the character's short story. Reviewer Matt London admitted to being "reduced to tears" while watching Iroh's vignette. He praised Mako's performance in voicing the character, while characterizing Ozai stealing Iroh's birthright as the next Fire Lord as "almost Shakespearean". Reviewer Keval Shah termed the scene where Iroh sacrifices himself to allow Aang and Katara to escape Azula in the season two finale, "The Crossroads of Destiny", as "emotional". Shah praised the "superb development" of the character.

Iroh's appearances in the Legend of Korra series were also well received. Iroh's introduction into the series was observed as a plot device to help Korra, who at that point was a somewhat unpopular character among fans and critics alike, become a more likeable protagonist.

Appearance in other media
Shaun Toub plays Iroh in the feature film The Last Airbender. This version of the character is not as comedic as his cartoon counterpart, but retains his role as mentor to Zuko. Unlike other Firebenders in the movie, who require a source of fire to bend, Iroh can generate fire merely by using his chi.

Iroh is portrayed by Paul Sun-Hyung Lee in the live-action remake of Avatar: The Last Airbender produced by Netflix.

Iroh also appears in the video game Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Burning Earth, as a character in both the main story, and in multiplayer mode. In the video game The Legend of Korra, he acts as the shopkeeper at the in-game Spirit Shop. Iroh appears as a playable character in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 via downloadable content.

Eadfrith of Lindisfarne

Eadfrith of Lindisfarne (died 721), also known as Saint Eadfrith, was Bishop of Lindisfarne, probably from 698 onwards. By the twelfth century it was believed that Eadfrith succeeded Eadberht and nothing in the surviving records contradicts this belief. Lindisfarne was among the main religious sites of the kingdom of Northumbria in the early eighth century, the resting place of Saints Aidan and Cuthbert. He is venerated as a Saint in the Roman Catholic Church, and in the Eastern Orthodox Church, as also in the Anglican Communion.

Life
A colophon added to the Lindisfarne Gospels in the tenth century states that Eadfrith was the scribe and artist responsible for the work. The Lindisfarne Gospels were the product of a single scribe and illustrator, working full-time over a period of about two years. For this reason, many historians who accept that the work was authored by Eadfrith in person date it to the period before he became bishop. Not all historians accept that he was the scribe: some argue that he may have commissioned the work rather than creating it in person; some reject the association as an unreliable tradition. Michelle Brown, "Lindisfarne Gospels" argues for Eadfrith being the artist and scribe, working on it as eremitic devotional act in the Columban tradition from 715-722 (dated on textual grounds of the liturgies marked by initials therein and historical context), and the main architect of the cult of St Cuthbert.

Contemporary witnesses to Eadberht's episcopacy portray him as a supporter of the cult of Saint Cuthbert. He commissioned three lives of the Saint, the first by an anonymous writer, written between 699 and 705. This Anonymous Life of Saint Cuthbert was revised on Eadfrith's orders by Bede, writing around 720, to produce both prose and verse lives.

Eadfrith also oversaw the restoration of the hermitage on Farne where Cuthbert had often lived. He is named in Æthelwulf's ninth century poem De abbatibus as having advised Eanmund, first abbot of a monastery—its name and location are unknown—founded during the reign of King Osred.

When Lindisfarne was abandoned in the late ninth century, Eadfrith's remains were among those taken on the community's long wanderings through Northumbria. The relics of Saint Cuthbert, and those of Eadfrith along with them, eventually found a new home at Chester-le-Street, where they remained for a century. In 995 the relics were translated to Durham Cathedral. At Durham Eadfrith, along with his predecessor Eadberht and successor Æthelwold, was commemorated on 4 June.

Charles H. Kerr

Charles Hope Kerr (April 23, 1860 – June 1, 1944), was an American publisher, editor and writer. A son of abolitionists, he was a vegetarian and Unitarian in 1886 when he established Charles H. Kerr & Co. in Chicago. His publishing career is noted for his views' leftward progression toward socialism and support for the Industrial Workers of the World.

Early life
Charles Hope Kerr was born in LaGrange, Georgia, on April 23, 1860, the son of Alexander Kerr, a Scotsman who immigrated to the United States.

Career
Kerr started his career at a Unitarian publisher and joined the staff of the Unity magazine in the mid-1880s. To support the magazine, he eventually established his own publishing house Charles H. Kerr & Co. in 1893. Influenced by the US People's Party, Kerr began to publish more political works on topics like land reform, including a new monthly magazine New Occasions.

In January 1900, Algie Martin Simons was hired by Kerr to launch a new, more explicitly socialist magazine, what would become the International Socialist Review. Over the years, Kerr's company became a leading publisher of socialist, communist, anarchist, and Wobbly works. In 1908, Kerr fired Simons and assumed responsibility for the International Socialist Review when it was a major left-wing voice within the Socialist Party of America.

Kerr was noted for his translation from the French of the radical workers' anthem, "The Internationale;" his version became the English words sung in the United States (although a different, anonymous English translation is sung in Britain and Ireland). Kerr's version was widely circulated in the Little Red Songbook of the Industrial Workers of the World.

Kerr was active in partisan politics as well. He was on the National Campaign Committee of the Social Democratic Party of America and later the Socialist Party of America. He was on the executive committee of the Socialist Party of Chicago, including a brief stint as treasurer. He was secretary of the Socialist Party of Illinois in 1902.

Vegetarianism
Kerr was a vegetarian and his company published J. Howard Moore's The Universal Kinship.

Meir Ashkenazi (merchant)

Meir Ashkenazi was a sixteenth-century Crimean Jew.

An envoy of the Khan of Crimea in the sixteenth century, Ashkenazi was killed by pirates on a voyage from Gava (near Genoa) to Dakhel (probably Dakhel or Dakleh in the western oasis of Upper Egypt), between the 15th and the 25th day of Tammuz (July), 1567. From the testimony of the witness Elias ben Nehemiah, given before the board of rabbis in Safed in the case of the widow and heirs of the slain Meïr Ashkenazi, it was made evident that he was an inhabitant of Kefe; that his parents were still living there; that he had a brother who was a student in the yeshiva of Brest-Litovsk; that he had brought to Gava prisoners of war from Egypt; that he was appointed envoy of the khan of the Tatars to the king of Poland; and that on the way from Gava to Dakhel he was slain by pirates with all the passengers on the ship.

Friedrick Ebert Stiftung (Foundation)
I came here searching for information on the "Frederick Ebert Stiftung" or more properly, "Friedrich Ebert Stiftung" organization or foundation ("Stiftung"). There is no wikipedia article, although a Google search shows the organization exists and records some of its activities (I found many entries on a misspelling "Stifung"). There is even a website (http://www.fes.de/). I have encountered an allegation that it is "CIA backed & funded", although I believe this false. I desire more information on this organization. WikiSceptic 14:44, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Ebert was one of the most powerful and influential social democratic politicians of the 20th century. His values and views encapsulated all that was vital to the restoration of Germany's wealth and power. 14th January 1974! my name is and i live in teddington!i go to

Legacy
I'll try to re-write it if possible, but I don't think the "Legacy" section in this article is balanced enough. It sounds vaugely condemning, and I say this as someone who dislikes Ebert greatly.--Agent of the Reds 16:28, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Student of Rosa Luxemburg?
In the wikipedia entry for Rosa Luxemburg, it offhandedly mentions that Ebert studied with her at SPD's Berlin training center. Is this verified by some source? If so, it should certainly be mentioned here in the article about Ebert! (How ironic, that he would later essential order her death!) Jrgsf 18:37, 4 August 2012 (UTC) jrgsf

Declaration of the Republic
I am not sure the reference to Liebknecht is necessary here, since this page is about Ebert. Given that Liebknecht' s speech was two hours later, I doubt that Scheidemann at that point already had a clear idea about what was going to happen. In any case there should be a citation to a reference that says that this was a cause of Scheidemann's actions. From what I've read, it was more or less spontaneous, he just got caught up in the moment... Drow69 (talk) 14:20, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Ebert falsely represented as being Jewish
As far as all sources and records indicate Freidrich Ebert was not at all of jewish, but of roman catholic faith, as is rather bluntly indicated by a quite large crucifix on his grave in Heidelberg. I was looking for any sources and records regarding his family ancestors being of jewish faith and later on converted to christianity, but could not find any, instead it seems his family and ancestors were all of roman catholic faith. The same goes for the family of his wife Louise Rump of protestant faith.

I believe it is most important to not declare a man a Jew when he is not, and i have a very strange feeling regarding Friedrich Ebert being made into a Jew here in this article, as in the time of his presidency he was, for political reasons, accused quite very negatively to be a Jew, alternatively a "henchman of jewish interests to destroy Germany" by extremist anti-semitic circles in Germany due to his role in the abolishment of the Monarchy in Germany and the treaty of Versailles and the declaration of the Republic in Germany.

I would like to urge a immediate change here very strongly, as him being "accused" to be a Jew was, as stated above, an antisemitic political campaign in his lifetime, which should under no circumstances be repeated here, in regards to his memory and in respect to the jewish faith and people.

 * Ebert was not a jew. I reverted this false claim. --Prüm (talk) 09:02, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Prüm, Thank you for looking into the matter i stated above and the change you made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.52.134.49 (talk) 15:14, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Another attempt was made to introduce this erroneous info into the lead on 11 December...took me until 13 December to notice and delete it.Drow69 (talk) 13:23, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Social reforms
This info is mostly already included in the article on the Council of the People's Deputies. Does it really make sense to repeat it on Ebert's page in such detail? My suggestion would be to just have a summary here and to drop some of the less important decrees.Drow69 (talk) 14:34, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

There is now repetitive information in this section (both the abolishment of the Gesindeordnung and the extension of the right of free assembly to civil servants are mentioned in two consecutive paragraphs). Moreover, since some of the new material is quoted from a text by Arthur Rosenberg, it should be identified as such in the ref. As far as I can tell, Marxists.org is a WP:SPS and should thus not be considered a RS.Drow69 (talk) 13:13, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Since there was no reaction to the above, I edited the section, bringing it into a roughly chronological form to fit with the rest of the article. I also deleted the repetitive content. Someone else can worry about the dubious source and the poor reference format.Drow69 (talk) 18:19, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Introductory paragraph, collaboration with the Freikorps
In comparison with the German article, I'm afraid this article seems to delve a bit too much in historiography with regards to collaboration with the Freikorps. Take the following sentence:

"With their help, Ebert's government crushed a number of leftist uprisings that were pursuing goals that were also nominally those of the SPD. This has made him a controversial historical figure."

Er, this is simplifying things somewhat to put it mildly, particularly during the insanity of the German Novemberrevolution of 1918-19, which was taking place with (1) the right-wing backlash against losing the war (or in their mythology, being backstabbed when they were just about to win---see die Dolchstosslegende) and (2) the Bolshevik Revolution.

For an English-speaking audience, it seems strange that the SPD leaders would just kill leftists who supported goals "nominally those of the SPD".

(1) Provide a citation for the controversy claim. (2) Rewrite/remove this sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.91.136 (talk) 04:03, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Well, that was my attempt to summarize the (admittedly poorly sourced) section on the Freikorps cooperation at the end of the article. I'll check if I can find a reference on this...there probably is one in the Haffner book (he is quite critical of Ebert). In addition, one could rephrase it in the sense that those on the left pursued "some goals" that were also nominally those of the SPD (as expressed in the then-current party program) as there were obviously differences in opinion on a number of issues.Drow69 (talk) 09:06, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Understood. I think to have a proper understanding of Ebert and how he's viewed/debated by historians today, one would need to refer to someone specializing on the Weimar Republic. Mary Fulbrook comes to mind, but I don't think she ever really concentrated on that much on Leibknecht and Luxemburg. Have you tried Fritz Stern? I'll think about some other sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.193.23 (talk) 08:51, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Not sure there actually is a consensus view, even after all this time. Some historians are arguing that Ebert and the other MSPD leaders were too timid, that a more revolutionary approach, a more drastic break with the past would have been possible. Others think that circumstances did in fact impose severe limits on the new government's scope for action. See e.g. this summary of 2011 (p.15).

 * There also remains the question of how Ebert was viewed at the time by those on the left. Although the MSPD paid lip-service to socialisation of industry, they (quite correctly) decided that feeding the population and keeping the economy running were more pressing concerns at that point. Nevertheless, Ebert, Noske and Co. were seen as traitors by many on the left.

 * Since I did not write the relevant section in the article, I do not know where exactly these infos/views came from.Drow69 (talk) 15:24, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

 * I'm still struck by the phrase "nominally the same as the SPD". I think the introductory paragraph would make more sense for an Anglophone audience if this phrase were to be removed, because their goals were distinctly *not* the same as the SPD. I mean, why else would these groups break away from the USPD to form the KPD? Being interested in left-wing politics, some of their goals were the same, yes, but many were not. Liebknecht in particular was pushing for, well, bolshevism. (Unfortunately, the .pdf from the bpb p.14-15 doesn't make this completely clear: Luxemburg and Liebknecht viewed Lenin quite differently, which explains Luxemburg's more respected status among those sympathetic with the social democrats/left today.) I agree, this is very tricky....hmmm....How about this: we can simply rewrite the sentence as "With their help, Ebert's social democratic government crushed a number of leftist uprisings, which has made him a controversial historical figure even today." or something like that---"nominally the same" airbrushes over the substantial differences between the SPD and the KPD. Everyone agree?

 * Works for me. When I think about it, the current wording actually only makes sense if one were to assume that most readers are aware of the contents of the "Erfurter Programm". Since this is quite unlikely, I agree that it would be better to drop that part. If a reader is interested in the political differences between MSPD, USPD, Spartacists and KPD he/she can hopefully find that info in the relevant articles.Drow69 (talk) 13:21, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Very good. This strikes me as very intelligent (and I didn't notice the Eichhorn absence in the Spartakusaufstand article...strange, the English wiki page for his biography is pretty reasonable and lays out the firing episode/slander in Vorwaerts, etc.) Ok, as I don't want to be accused of vandalism (I know, I know...register), would you mind doing the honors of changing things? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.91.136 (talk) 02:16, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Seems this is now done. I was travelling for three weeks and very busy since my return. Since the reasons for the change were discussed here, I don't think anyone reasonable would view this as vandalism, IP editor or not.Drow69 (talk) 14:58, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

HMS Rattlesnake (1822)

HMS Rattlesnake was an Atholl-class corvette 28-gun sixth-rate corvette of the Royal Navy launched in 1822. She made a historic voyage of discovery to the Cape York and Torres Strait areas of northern Australia.

Construction
Launched at Chatham Dockyard on 26 March 1822, Rattlesnake was 114 feet (34.7 m) long and 32 feet (9.7 m) abeam. She carried twenty 32-pounder carronades, six 18-pounder carronades and two 9-pounder long guns.

Service in the Greek War of Independence
For most of the years 1827 to 1829 Rattlesnake was cruising off the coasts of Greece, under the command of Captain the Hon. Charles Orlando Bridgeman. During that period her log was kept by Midshipman Talavera Vernon Anson and survives in a collection at the New York Public Library. Both men went on to become admirals. On 31 January 1828, Rattlesnake was part of a force of five British and two French ships that attacked the Greek island of Gramvousa, used as a base for piracy. While most of the pirate's ships were destroyed by the Anglo-French force, the British frigate HMS Cambrian (1797) ran aground after a collision with HMS Isis (1819) and sank.

Sometime between 14 and 16 May 1830, Rattlesnake was driven ashore and damaged at Algiers in Ottoman Algeria. She was repaired and returned to service.

Service in the East Indies and China Station
William Hobson was appointed captain in December 1834. Rattlesnake served in the Far East squadron, which was commanded by Admiral Sir Thomas Bladen Capel. In 1836, the Rattlesnake was ordered to Australia, arriving at Hobart on 5 August 1836 and at Sydney 18 days later. On 26 May 1837, the Rattlesnake sailed to the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, in response to a request for help from James Busby, the British Resident, who felt threatened by fighting between Māori tribes. In 1838 the Rattlesnake returned to England.

Service in the First Anglo-Chinese War
Rattlesnake took part in the First Anglo-Chinese War (1839–42), known popularly as the First Opium War, taking part in the Capture of Chusan on 5–6 July 1840. During the period 1841–42 she was involved in actions off Canton in the fleet commanded by Sir William Parker in the First Anglo-Chinese War (1839–42), including the Battle of Chinhai on 10 October 1841 and the Yangtze river campaign in June–August 1842.

Survey ship
She was converted to a survey ship in 1845.

Australia and New Guinea
The captain on the voyage to northern Australia and New Guinea from 1846 to 1850 was Owen Stanley. Also aboard were John Thomson as Surgeon, Thomas Henry Huxley as Assistant Surgeon ("surgeon's mate", but in practice marine naturalist), John MacGillivray as botanist and Oswald Walters Brierly as artist. T. H. Huxley established his scientific reputation by the papers he wrote on this voyage, leading to his election as fellow of the Royal Society in 1851.

Rattlesnake was the ship that rescued Barbara Crawford Thompson, who had been shipwrecked on Prince of Wales Island, North Queensland, aged 13 in November 1844 and spent the next five years living with the local Kaurareg people.

Fate
The ship was broken up at Chatham in January 1860.

Some IMO redundant ones
If anyone feels really strongly about this, feel free to revert(but please explain it here, too!) JesseW 01:27, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 541 m — (1,776 ft) -- height of the planned Freedom Tower at the World Trade Center site
 * When it's built, we may list it - lots of thing are planned.
 * 417 m — height of the World Trade Center buildings before the September 11, 2001 attacks
 * If you can't see it anymore, it is not a useful memorization of orders of magnitude.
 * 324 m — total height of the Eiffel Tower including TV-antenna
 * 109.73 m — total length of an American football field (120 yards, including the end zones)
 * 137.16 . — total length of a Canadian football field (150 yards, including the end zones)
 * We don't need multiple heights for one structure - we're talking about orders of magnitude here!
 * 553.33 m — height of the CN Tower, the world's second tallest free-standing land structure
 * If the most notable thing that can be said about is that it is second-highest, it's not worth putting here.
 * 168 m — height of the Bungsberg, highest point in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
 * Schleswig-Holstein is known for being flat - it's highest point is not notable.

Category key
It would be fine to have the articles ordered in the Category:Orders of magnitude (length). One posibility is to have all the articles ordered in the character '#', from low to high:

Articles in category "Orders of magnitude (length)"* *    Orders of magnitude (length) #   (...)    * 1 E-5 m * 1 E-4 m * 1 E-3 m * 1 E-2 m * 1 E-1 m * 1 E0 m * 1 E1 m * 1 E2 m * 1 E3 m * 1 E4 m * 1 E5 m (...)

The problem with this approach is that to get that order the category key for articles with negative powers has to be "somewhat" odd, like:

 * 1 E-5 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|#00.95]]
 * 1 E-4 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|#00.96]]
 * 1 E-3 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|#00.97]]
 * 1 E-2 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|#00.98]]
 * 1 E-1 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|#00.99]]
 * 1 E0 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|#00.00]]
 * 1 E1 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|#01.00]]
 * 1 E2 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|#02.00]]
 * 1 E3 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|#03.00]]
 * 1 E4 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|#04.00]]
 * 1 E5 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|#05.00]]

Other approach is to divide the articles in two groups, one for negative powers, and one for positive ones (the zero can be in any of them or have its own category):

Articles in category "Orders of magnitude (length)"* *    Orders of magnitude (length) -   * 1 E-1 m * 1 E-2 m * 1 E-3 m * 1 E-4 m * 1 E-5 m (...) +   * 1 E1 m * 1 E2 m * 1 E3 m * 1 E4 m * 1 E5 m (...) 0   * 1 E0 m

With this approach the category key will be more "natural", something like this:

 * 1 E-5 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|-05]]
 * 1 E-4 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|-04]]
 * 1 E-3 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|-03]]
 * 1 E-2 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|-02]]
 * 1 E-1 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|-01]]
 * 1 E0 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|+00]]
 * 1 E1 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|+01]]
 * 1 E2 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|+02]]
 * 1 E3 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|+03]]
 * 1 E4 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|+04]]
 * 1 E5 m → [[:Category:Orders of magnitude (length)|+05]]

I prefer the second option, because the key is more intuitive. What do you think? --surueña 08:53:45, 2005-07-29 (UTC)

 * A third option(the one I implemented, although this can be changed...) is to put all the negative powers in "-", all the positive powers from 0 to 9 in "0", 10-19 in "1", etc. I admit to being tempted by your idea of having just two groups "+" and "-", with them sorted in there, but let me know what you think of the way it is, and we can discuss further. (Last I looked, two of them seemed to be in the wrong place, but this was just category-lack-of-updating problems). JesseW 10:28, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I prefer to put the articles in two (or three) groups mainly because your option is asymmetrical w.r.t. negative and positive powers. For example, someone could say that the negative powers -1 to -9 should be also in "0", -10 to -19 in "1", etc. Anyway, I always liked more to use only one key character for this type of short series of article, like for example Category: History of computer and video games or Category:Dynasties of Ancient Egypt. --surueña 10:55:06, 2005-07-29 (UTC)

 * The categories you mentioned are convincing. Yes, your version with two groups, "+" and "-" is the better idea.  I'll update that(with a semi-automated tool) soon. Thanks for the discussion, and the reference to the other categories. JesseW 23:26, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

 * A tool, great idea. Then it will be easy to make the same changes in the others subcategories of Category:Orders of magnitude. Anyway, if you need help to make the changes I will be pleased to lend a hand (there are a lot of subcategories). And about having two or three categories (one more only for the zero), I don't know what is the best option. But it's easy to make the change, so in the future we can move from three to two groups and vice versa. --surueña 08:08:39, 2005-07-30 (UTC)
 * I'd be delighted by help... The tool I wrote is available from my User:JesseW/monobook.js, under the section called Edit automation (ignore the note about it not being used). Just copy it into yours, and add a call to automate when pages are loaded, and it should automatically make the category key fix when you go to any 1_E[0-9] type page. (It only works on positive numbers, but the change for - is trivial, and I'll make it after we fix all the positive ones.)  Feel free to do which ever ones you want, and ask on my Talk page if there are any problems. Thanks again! (copied to Suruena's talk page) JesseW 04:51, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
 * PS. You might find this bookmarklet useful(it'll save 1 page load per fix):Tools. (copied to talk page) JesseW 04:58, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

It doesn't work
Setting the category key of the article to "+02" doesn't seem to work (it is put in the Category:Orders of magnitude (length) at the "2" entry, no matter the number of zeroes at the left -- I tested "+002"), and neither the "-01" key (the category order is incorrect, being the "-02" before the "-01"). Are these bugs of MediaWiki? --surueña 10:00:44, 2005-08-01 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a bug to me. You should probably look at the mediwiki bugzilla and/or ask on mailing lists or somewhere.  I suspect it's a feature(cough), not a bug, but I hope there's a way we can turn it off. JesseW 22:15, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Notation
I notice that most of the instances listed here are in the form 100_m (space underlined for emphasis). Is there a wikipedia policy that overrides the usual notation of SI units which is that when an abbreviation is used, there is no space between the quantifier and the abbreviated unit? Kevin McE 08:48, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what you mean by the usual notation, since most texts I've read use a space between the value and the abbreviation (including BIPM).--Jyril 11:43, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe it's a UK convention: certainly it is what I am most used to seeing and have always been taught (and now teach). However, I observe that WP:MOSNUM prescribes the space.  Kevin McE 10:46, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Hexamethylphosphoramide

Hexamethylphosphoramide, often abbreviated HMPA, is a phosphoramide (an amide of phosphoric acid) with the formula [(CH3)2N]3PO. This colorless liquid is a useful reagent in organic synthesis.

Structure and reactivity
HMPA is the oxide of tris(dimethylamino)phosphine, P(NMe2)3. Like other phosphine oxides (such as triphenylphosphine oxide), the molecule has a tetrahedral core and a P=O bond that is highly polarized, with significant negative charge residing on the oxygen atom.

Compounds containing a nitrogen–phosphorus bond typically are degraded by hydrochloric acid to form a protonated amine and phosphate.

It dissolves alkali metal salts and alkali metals, forming blue solutions which are stable for a few hours. Solvated electrons are present in these blue solutions.

Applications
HMPA is a specialty solvent for polymers, gases, and organometallic compounds. It improves the selectivity of lithiation reactions by breaking up the oligomers of lithium bases such as butyllithium. Because HMPA selectively solvates cations, it accelerates otherwise slow SN2 reactions by generating more bare anions. The basic nitrogen centers in HMPA coordinate strongly to Li+.

HMPA is a ligand in the useful reagents based on molybdenum peroxide complexes, for example, MoO(O2)2(HMPA)(H2O) is used as an oxidant in organic synthesis.

Alternative reagents
Dimethyl sulfoxide can often be used in place of HMPA as a cosolvent. Both are strong hydrogen bond acceptors, and their oxygen atoms bind metal cations. Other alternatives to HMPA include the N,N′-tetraalkylureas DMPU (dimethylpropyleneurea) or DMI (1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone). Tripyrrolidinophosphoric acid triamide (TPPA) has been reported to be a good substitute reagent for HMPA in reductions with samarium diiodide and as a Lewis base additive to many reactions involving samarium ketyls.

Toxicity
HMPA is only mildly toxic but has been shown to cause cancer in rats. HMPA can be degraded by the action of hydrochloric acid.

Audiobook Narration?
I was recently listening to the audiobook of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and I was surprised to hear that Calista indeed narrates a part of the story. I think this should be added into the article, but I'm not really sure where.

Hope that clears the confusion :) -Courtkittie 09:22pm, 14 July 2005

Weight
It seems as though someone had a lot of fun defending Calista's weight in this article. I don't want to touch these sentences, as I'm not entirely sure if they're NPOV. Can someone else? Magicjewel 01:58, 22 December 2005 (UTC) In heat magazine Calista said that she was sffering for anorexia during the peak of Ally McBeal's success, I'm sure of it.
 * She has publicly admitted that she did have an eating disorder while making Ally McBeal. That should be added to the article as there was a huge amount of press about her weight. TheBlinkster (talk) 19:56, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Clean-up
Did a bit of an overhaul, most notably with the Filmography section. I believe this article is now at a standard where the clean-up tag is unnecessary, and so I have removed it. Please review my modifications and edit as you see fit. *zozart 16:08, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Thelonious Bernard

Thelonious Bernard (born 9 January 1964) is a French dentist and former actor.

In 1979, Bernard starred opposite Laurence Olivier and Diane Lane in A Little Romance, a film about a romance between two young teenagers in France. Bernard was nominated for Best Leading Young Actor in a Feature Film in the first annual Young Artist Awards, but lost out to Dennis Christopher in Breaking Away.

While his co-star Lane went on to a long career, Bernard subsequently chose not to remain in show business; except for a walk-on role in Yves Boisset's Allons z'enfants in 1981, he made no more films. Instead, Bernard continued his education, and now practices as a dentist in Nantes, where he lives with his wife and children.

Elena Zamolodchikova

Elena Mikhailovna Zamolodchikova (Елена Михайловна Замолодчикова; born 19 September 1982) is a Russian former artistic gymnast and four-time Olympic medallist. She is the 2000 Olympic champion on vault and floor exercise, and she is a two-time World champion on vault (1999, 2002). She also competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics where she won a bronze medal with the Russian team. She is a two-time World Cup Final vault champion (2000, 2002) and a two-time European champion with the Russian team (2000, 2002). In 2015, she was inducted in the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame.

Early life
Zamolodchikova was born on 19 September 1982 in Moscow. Her father, Mikhail Alexandrovich, was a member of the Soviet Army and was one of the first Chernobyl liquidators, and her mother, Irina Nikolaevna, was a teacher. She began gymnastics at the age of six. She wanted to start gymnastics after watching a competition on television. She briefly quit gymnastics after being diagnosed with a congenital heart defect, but this diagnosis was refuted by another doctor, and she returned to training.

Gymnastics career
Zamolodchikova joined the Russian junior national team in 1996 and competed at the 1996 Junior European Championships. There, the Russian team won the gold medal, and Zamolodchikova won the silver medal on vault.

Zamolodchikova began age-eligible for senior competition in 1998. She won a silver medal with the Russian team at the 1998 European Championships. Individually, she finished fourth on vault. At the 1998 World Youth Games in Moscow, she won the all-around title.

In 1999, Zamolodchikova participated in her first World Championships. She won the gold on the vault, silver with the Russian team, and bronze in the all-around. Following the World Championships, she competed at the Glasgow Grand Prix and won the gold medal on the vault. She won another gold medal on vault at the Stuttgart Grand Prix.

2000
Zamolodchikova began the Olympic season at the Montreux World Cup where she won the gold medal on the vault. Despite her father's recent death, she chose to still compete at the European Championships. There, she led her team to the gold medal and earned individual silvers in the all-around and vault finals and a bronze on the balance beam.

2000 Summer Olympics
Zamolodchikova was selected as a member of the Russian gymnastics team at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney alongside Svetlana Khorkina, Yekaterina Lobaznyuk, Elena Produnova, Anastasiya Kolesnikova, and Anna Chepeleva. The team finished in first place during the qualification round. In the team final, several major mistakes, including Zamolodchikova's fall off the balance beam, cost them the gold medal, and they won silver behind Romania. After two apparatuses in the all-around final, Zamolodchikova was in first place with her stronger exercises still to go. However, she lost her chance of an all-around medal after a fall during her floor exercise rotation. On a night when many gymnasts made uncharacteristic errors, she eventually finished sixth.

Zamolodchikova did not initially qualify for the vault final due to the two-per-country rule. However, on the day of the final, Khorkina gave up her spot to Zamolodchikova. Khorkina stated that she felt Zamolodchikova would have a better chance at winning the gold medal, and Zamolodchikova did ultimately win the gold medal with an average score of 9.712. In the floor exercise final, she beat Khorkina by 0.038 points to win her second Olympic gold medal.

After the Olympic Games, Zamolodchikova competed at the World Cup final and won gold on the vault and silver on the floor exercise. Then at the Stuttgart World Cup, she won gold on vault, balance beam, and floor exercise, and she tied with Jana Komrsková for silver on uneven bars.

HD 188753

HD 188753 is a hierarchical triple star system approximately 151 light-years away in the constellation of Cygnus, the Swan. In 2005, an extrasolar planet was announced to be orbiting the primary star (designated HD 188753 A) in the system. Follow-up measurements by an independent group in 2007 did not confirm the planet's existence.

Stellar components

The primary star, HD 188753 A, is similar to the Sun with a mass only 6% larger and a stellar classification of G8V. Orbiting this primary at a distance of 12.3 AU is a pair of smaller stars that orbit each other with a period of 156.0 ± 0.1 days, a semi-major axis of 0.67 AU, and eccentricity of 0.1 ± 0.03. The pair have estimated masses of 0.96 and 0.67 solar masses. They orbit the primary with a period of about 25.7 years and an orbital eccentricity of about 0.50. The periastron distance of this orbit is 6.2 AU.

Possible planet
In 2005 the discovery of a candidate planet orbiting the primary star of the triple star system was announced. This planet, which received the designation HD 188753 Ab, was announced by a Polish astronomer working in the United States, Dr. Maciej Konacki. This would not be the first known planet in a triple star system – for example, the planet 16 Cygni Bb had been discovered earlier, orbiting one of the components of a wide triple system also in the constellation of Cygnus.

Since HD 188753 Ab was believed to be orbiting in a multi-star system, Konacki referred to planets of this type as "Tatooine planets" after Luke Skywalker's home world. The detection of this planet has been challenged by Eggenberger et al.

The candidate planet, a hot Jupiter gas giant slightly more massive than Jupiter, was thought to orbit the star HD 188753 A once every 80 hours or so (3.3 days), at a distance of about 8 million kilometers, a twentieth of the distance between Earth and the Sun. The existence of HD 188753 Ab in a relatively close triple star system challenged the current models of planet formation. The current idea is that giant planets form in the outer reaches of their system (in orbits similar to those of Jupiter and Saturn). Once formed, some of these planets may migrate close to their stars, becoming hot Jupiters. The theoretical difficulty in understanding HD 188753 Ab is that any protoplanetary disk would have ended around 1 astronomical unit from the primary star (due to the presence of the secondary stars). A Jovian planet should not have been able to form so close to the primary, and with no disk material beyond 1 AU, a planet should not have been able to form beyond that distance to migrate inward. One of the possibilities suggested that the planet formed before the secondary stars had reached their current configuration. This suggests that the two secondary stars were once more distant than they are now.

An attempt to confirm the discovery failed. In 2007, a team at the Geneva Observatory stated that they had the precision and sampling rate sufficient to have detected the would-be planet, and that they did not detect it. Konacki responded to this, stating that the precision of the follow-up measurements was not sufficient to confirm or deny the planet's existence and that he planned to release an update in 2007. , no update appears to have been published.

Hugo Blanco (musician)

Hugo Blanco (September 25, 1940 – June 14, 2015) was a popular Venezuelan musician. He is best known as the author of "Moliendo Café" and other songs like "El Burrito Sabanero", "Leche Condensada", "Luces de Caracas", "Sierra Nevada" and "Mañanita Zuliana". "Moliendo Café", written in 1958 when Hugo Blanco was only 18 years old, has become one of the most recognized Venezuelan songs in the world.

Biography
Blanco was born in Caracas, Venezuela. He purchased his first musical instrument known as a cuatro at the age of 15 and learned to play it listening to the radio. Blanco created a new Venezuelan music style ‒ a fusion of Cuban music and joropo ‒ called "the orquídea" in honor of the Venezuelan national flower.

In the 1960s, Blanco composed many popular gaitas with Simón Díaz called Gaitas de las Locas. He also founded what is widely considered to be the first Venezuelan ska group, Las Cuatro Monedas.

In the 1970s, he founded the Venezuelan group Los Hijos De Ña Carmen.

Hugo Blanco's song "La Vecina" was featured in an episode of the popular TV series Miami Vice.

"Moliendo Café" has become a popular chant for football fans around the world. The chant is widely known as "Dale Cavese" and has the same tune as the song.

Poor Boy Blues

"Poor Boy Blues", or "Poor Boy, Long Ways From Home", is a traditional blues song that has been cited as one of the oldest in the genre. As with most traditional blues songs, there is great variation in the melody and lyrical content as performed by different artists. However, there is often a core verse containing some variation of the line "I'm a poor boy a long way from home."

Blues historian Gérard Herzhaft described it as: "much a part of black folklore as it is of white folklore, and its origin is quite questionable. It is probably an old English piece revised by Appalachian musicians. Strangely enough, "Poor Boy", after decades of being a standard refrain, especially in country music, resurfaced among postwar bluesmen."

The song is often associated with a slide guitar accompaniment. Gus Cannon recalled hearing a slide guitarist named Alec or Alex Lee in Coahoma County around 1900, playing a version of the song. In 1927, Cannon recorded the song under the pseudonym Banjo Joe for Paramount Records. He performed the piece using a slide on a five string banjo, with guitar accompaniment by Blind Blake.

A version recorded by Howlin' Wolf in 1957 is described by Herzhaft as "a sensational rendering". Chess Records issued it as a single, with another traditional song, "Sitting on Top of the World" as the second side.

CNN Daybreak

CNN Daybreak is an American early morning newscast aired on CNN, last anchored from New York by Carol Costello. It debuted on June 1, 1980, the same day CNN went live.

First program
The first program to air live weekdays on the network, it preceded American Morning at 5:00 a.m. ET. Similar to First Look on MSNBC, the program was based on covering the news stories of the morning without talk and analysis, usually with correspondents on location or taped stories from the previous evening.

Until 2005
Until spring 2005, Daybreak was aired from the CNN Center in Atlanta. Costello then moved to New York following her marriage. The show moved to the Time Warner Center shortly after.

In October 2005, as a cost-cutting measure, the program was canceled. The last official broadcast was on November 25, 2005. Carol Costello graciously bid her crew farewell, thanking them, and telling viewers how much they were missed. Costello subsequently was an anchor on HLN until 2018, based in Los Angeles.

After cancellation
The timeslot was occupied by a rerun of Anderson Cooper 360, with the 6am hour being replaced by American Morning which expanded. The Anderson Cooper 360 rerun was usually replaced with an early live edition of American Morning if there is breaking news. It was then replaced by American Morning Wake-Up Call until the cancellation of American Morning. Both hours are now occupied by CNN This Morning with Kasie Hunt, formerly Early Start.

In the early 1990s, CNN Daybreak ran as a 3-hour show with two different pairs of anchors. While Rick Moore and Molly McCoy presented the 6am and 8am hours, Bob Cain in Atlanta and Norma Quarles in New York hosted the 7am hour.

Talk:Sandton

Untitled
Hi

The article states: "The name comes from the combination of two suburbs, Sandown and Bryanston, both of which were named after places in the United Kingdom." This is what I was taught at school (I attended Bryanston Primary School).

I recently found this web page http://www.station15.org.za/get_content.php/public_history_sandton.htm which states "Sandton derives it’s name from Zandfontein – an English simplification of this Afrikaans name. A memorial stone on the graves of the Esterhuysen Voortrekker family (of the Zandfontein farm) still stands in the suburb of Strathavon (off South Rd)."

Can anyone provide more evidence of either of these claims?

--Gary van der Merwe 01:39, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

I grew up in Bryanston but moved to another part of Johannesburg before the city of Sandton was established. As I recall the reason given for the choice of name is that it was a combination of Sandown and Bryanston. I believe this to be correct because the word Zandfontein is not a root for sand and ton.

Wendy Lydall

Zandfontein when Anglicised would in fact be Sandton as "fontein" is commonly used to denote a town or settlement exactly like "ton" is used, and "Zand" is obviously just Anglicised to "Sand"

Mehta Kalu

Mehta Kalu, formally Kalyan Das, (1440–1522) was the father of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism.

Names
Various names are used to refer to Guru Nanak's father, some of which are: 'Mehta Kalu', 'Kalu Rai', 'Kalu Chand', 'Kalian Rai', and 'Kalian Chand'.

Early life
Kalu was born in 1440 as 'Kalyan Das' to Shiv Ram Bedi (b. 1418) and Mata Banarasi in a Hindu Khatri family of the Bedi gotra. Kalu's paternal grandfather was Ram Narayan Bedi. Mehta Kalu was born in the village of Patthe Vind (now extinct, was formerly located at the present-day site of Gurdwara Dera Sahib, approximately six miles east of Naushahra Pannuan).

Mehta Kalu's family later moved to the village of Rai-Bhoi-Di-Talwandi (now Nankana Sahib) where Shiv Ram Bedi found employment as the village patwari (revenue official). Kalu was the eldest of two sons, his younger brother was named Baba Lalu (1444–1542). Lalu was born in Talwandi rather than in Patthe Vind. Kalu would take over the role of village patwari from his father after his father died.

Thus, he served as the patwari (accountant) of crop revenue for the village of Talwandi in the employment of the zamindar (landlord), Rai Bular Bhatti.

Marriage
He married a girl named Tripta in 1460. Two offspring were born from the couple, a daughter named Nanaki and a son named Nanak.

Death
Kalu died at the age of 82 at Kartarpur, a locality that had been established by his son.

JumpTV

JumpTV Inc. was a Canadian company, and one of the country's largest internet television carriers until its acquisition by NeuLion in 2008.

History
JumpTV was formed as an internet television company in 2000. It was limited in the services it could retransmit, namely foreign third-language services for which it has secured the necessary web rights. In June 2005, JumpTV had about 30 TV stations online, a staff of 5 which included Farrel Miller (CEO and Founder), Dan O'Hara (CTO), and Mizan Chowdhury (Technical Support Manager). Chairman G. Scott Paterson raised venture capital and started investing in upgrading the infrastructure.

In August 2006, the Toronto Stock Exchange granted JumpTV's application for the original listing in the Industrial category of 42,902,092 common shares. In February 2007, JumpTV announced a US$100 million Common Share Offering of 13,043,479 common shares.

JumpTV had offices in the United States, Canada, London, Singapore, Colombia and Dubai. At its peak the company provided content from more than 270 television broadcasters from over 70 countries, with the channels being available on the JumpTV CDN. JumpTV only supported the Windows Media format, and also had no official Macintosh support though some users were able to connect and view programming through Flip4Mac and QuickTime in Mac OS X.

JumpTV merged with NeuLion Inc in June 2008. Founded in 2004, NeuLion Inc provides web-based IPTV services to sports customers such as the National Hockey League and the International Fight League. Charles Wang, the founder and former CEO of Computer Associates and owner of the New York Islanders, was named Chairman of the merged company while Paterson was appointed its Executive Vice-Chairman. Charles Wang's wife, Nancy Li, was appointed CEO as well as a Director.

Sports sites
JumpTV had a division based in Sanford, Florida, USA which hosted the official websites of a number of professional and college sports organizations. Among them were the Arena Football League, the University of Colorado, Arkansas State University and Ohio State University. These websites also provided for live video and audio coverage.

Zenwalk

Zenwalk GNU/Linux is a desktop-focused Linux distribution founded by Jean-Philippe Guillemin. It is based on Slackware with very few modifications at system level making it 100% compatible with Slackware. It aims to be a modern, multi-purpose Linux distribution by focusing on internet applications, multimedia and programming tools. It comes with many specialized tools and is designed for beginners and advanced users alike, as it offers system configuration via both graphical tools and the command line.

History
Zenwalk was originally called Minislack up to version 1.1. It was renamed with version 1.2, released on 12 August 2005. Originally using KDE as its desktop environment, it moved to Xfce with version 0.3, although GNOME and KDE packages have always been available separately.

Aims
The Zenwalk Project aims to create a lightweight Linux distribution, through using only one application per task on the release ISO image; optimization for a specific instruction set architecture, to increase execution speed; and introducing a comprehensive package management system with dependency resolution.

Package management

Zenwalk uses the netpkg package management system. Developed in-house, it provides the main functionality of the apt-get variety of package managers. It uses Slackware's .tgz package format, but adds dependency resolution capabilities. It uses meta files to provide dependency information, as well as package description during the install process. This convenience is available only to the official Zenwalk mirrors listed in the netpkg configuration file, netpkg.conf. In addition to the original netpkg command line interface, xnetpkg provides a GUI frontend with similar capabilities.

Zenwalk is also compatible with Slackware package management tools such as slapt-get and its frontends, and have similar functionality as that of netpkg.

As of Zenwalk 4.6, package compatibility with Slackware is still maintained. Slackware packages may be used in place of Zenwalk packages where necessary.

Supported architectures
Starting with version 8.0, Zenwalk Linux is built and optimized primarily for the x86_64 architecture; 32-bit i486 architecture is no longer supported.

Project versions
At one time there were five main versions of Zenwalk :

 * Zenwalk Standard, a distribution aimed at mainstream desktop and development use. Designed to be a stand-alone operating system, it installs to the hard drive by way of an ncurses-based installer. It includes all of the officially released software packages that are deemed most useful by the Zenwalk community. The default install also includes development packages like gcc, and some proprietary media packages (such as Adobe Flash Player) and drivers in order to provide a full featured default install. The default desktop environment is Xfce.
 * Zenwalk Core (discontinued), a Zenwalk system built for user customization. Released with no X Window System binaries, its aim was to allow a skilled user to build a system fit for their needs. The project's lead developer was Emmanuel Bailleul.
 * ZenLive (discontinued), a Zenwalk system built on a Live CD design. ZenLive followed the progress made by the full Zenwalk system closely, thus mirroring the version number, and attempted to stay true to the original distribution's goals.  In addition, it included all of the necessary libraries and applications to develop and compile software, a particularly rare feature in Live CD distributions. The original ZenLive team left the project after version 6.0 was released but ZenwalkLive project was revived by an enthusiastic user and developed as a one-man-project.  With version 6.4 the live-framework changed from deprecated linux-live-scripts to slackware-live-scripts.
 * Zenwalk Gnome (discontinued), with GNOME as the default desktop environment.
 * Zenwalk Openbox (discontinued), supplied with Openbox as stand-alone window manager. It was a very lightweight version of the operating system and did not use LXDE in its choice of software. It still uses Thunar File Manager over PCManFM which is standard on LXDE-based systems such as Lubuntu.

Derivatives
There are currently three known Zenwalk-based distributions:
 * Arudius, a now-discontinued live CD distribution for information assurance with tools for penetration testing and vulnerability analysis
 * SLAMPP, intended to be used as a home server
 * Zencafe, an Indonesian distribution designed for internet cafes

Live USB
A Live USB of Zenwalk Linux for versions up to 5.2 can be created manually or with UNetbootin. Current versions of Zenwalk can also booted from a USB using Ventoy, but only for installation, not a live session.

Talk:DIBOL

Untitled
DIBOL was originally created for the PDP-8e (later ported to the PDP-11) and ran on a new operating system called COS-310. (Commercial Operating System) The COS-310 system was purchased as a package which included a desk, VT-52 VDT (Video Display Tube), and a pair of eight inch floppy drives. Optionally you could purchase one or more 2.5 MB hard drives that had removable media. I believe the only printer option was a Centronics line printer that connected through a parallel port. Oddly this same hardware was also sold as the DEC Word Processor but with a daisy-wheel printer included.

At one point DIBOL briefly appeared in the DECUS library. I believe this version ran on the OS/8 operating system for the PDP-8e or possibly the older PS/8 OS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.0.37.62 (talk) 01:42, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

 * 'Pretty sure DIBOL first ran under COS-300 (on those RK05 1.6MW cartridge-disk drives that you mentioned). This system would have been packaged in standard short or tall DEC racks with "pop panels" filling the empty spaces in the rack and the terminals would have been VT05s or LA30s. I think it also could run on either TC8E or TD8E TU56 DECtape storage. IIRC, COS-310 first arrived when the "desk-style" RX01-based PDP-8A system arrived. I don't recall what the difference was between COS-300 and COS-310 besides newer device drivers. (I don't recall for sure, but I'd bet that LA36s and LA180s were supported as printers as well by that time.)

 * I always found the sites running COS, DIBOL, and commercial applications more boring than the sites running OS/8 and industrial/scientific applications so I didn't learn as much about either COS or DIBOL as I probably should have. :-) I do remember that COS ran with the PDP-8 interrupt system "ON" whereas OS/8 ran with it "OFF"; this lead to the possibility of "undefined interrupt" errors in COS, an error that was impossible in OS/8.

 * WPS-8 was definitely a derivative of COS-310, sharing the same basic on-diskette filesystem (and probably some OS primatives).
