Phosphorus pentoxide

Phosphorus pentoxide is a chemical compound with molecular formula P4O10 (with its common name derived from its empirical formula, P2O5). This white crystalline solid is the anhydride of phosphoric acid. It is a powerful desiccant and dehydrating agent.

Structure
Phosphorus pentoxide crystallizes in at least four forms or polymorphs. The most familiar one, a metastable form (shown in the figure), comprises molecules of P4O10. Weak van der Waals forces hold these molecules together in a hexagonal lattice (However, in spite of the high symmetry of the molecules, the crystal packing is not a close packing ). The structure of the P4O10 cage is reminiscent of adamantane with Td symmetry point group. It is closely related to the corresponding anhydride of phosphorous acid, P4O6. The latter lacks terminal oxo groups. Its density is 2.30 g/cm3. It boils at 423 °C under atmospheric pressure; if heated more rapidly it can sublimate. This form can be made by condensing the vapor of phosphorus pentoxide rapidly, and the result is an extremely hygroscopic solid.

The other polymorphs are polymeric, but in each case the phosphorus atoms are bound by a tetrahedron of oxygen atoms, one of which forms a terminal P=O bond involving the donation of the terminal oxygen p-orbital electrons to the antibonding phosphorus-oxygen single bonds. The macromolecular form can be made by heating the compound in a sealed tube for several hours, and maintaining the melt at a high temperature before cooling the melt to the solid. The metastable orthorhombic "O"-form (density 2.72 g/cm3, melting point 562 °C) adopts a layered structure consisting of interconnected P6O6 rings, not unlike the structure adopted by certain polysilicates. The stable form is a higher density phase, also orthorhombic, the so-called O' form. It consists of a 3-dimensional framework, density 3.5 g/cm3. The remaining polymorph is a glass or amorphous form; it can be made by fusing any of the others.

Preparation
P4O10 is prepared by burning white phosphorus with a sufficient supply of oxygen:

 * P4 + 5 O2 → P4O10

The dehydration of phosphoric acid to give phosphorus pentoxide is not possible, as on heating it forms various polyphosphates but will not dehydrate sufficiently to form P4O10.

Applications
Phosphorus pentoxide is a potent dehydrating agent as indicated by the exothermic nature of its hydrolysis producing phosphoric acid:
 * P4O10 + 6 H2O → 4 H3PO4  (–177 kJ)

However, its utility for drying is limited somewhat by its tendency to form a protective viscous coating that inhibits further dehydration by unspent material. A granular form of P4O10 is used in desiccators.

Consistent with its strong desiccating power, P4O10 is used in organic synthesis for dehydration. The most important application is for the conversion of primary amides into nitriles:
 * P4O10 + RC(O)NH2 → P4O9(OH)2 + RCN

The indicated coproduct P4O9(OH)2 is an idealized formula for undefined products resulting from the hydration of P4O10.

Alternatively, when combined with a carboxylic acid, the result is the corresponding anhydride:
 * P4O10 + RCO2H → P4O9(OH)2 + [RC(O)]2O

The "Onodera reagent", a solution of P4O10 in DMSO, is employed for the oxidation of alcohols. This reaction is reminiscent of the Swern oxidation.

The desiccating power of P4O10 is strong enough to convert many mineral acids to their anhydrides. Examples: HNO3 is converted to N2O5; H2SO4 is converted to SO3;  HClO4 is converted to Cl2O7;  CF3SO3H is converted to (CF3)2S2O5.

As a proxy measurement
P2O5 content is often used by industry as proxy value for all the phosphorus oxides in a material. For example, fertilizer grade phosphoric acid can also contain various related phosphorous compounds which are also of use. All these compounds are described collectively in terms of 'P2O5 content' to allow convenient comparison of the phosphorous content of different products. Despite this, phosphorus pentoxide is not actually present in most samples as it is not stable in aqueous solutions.

Related phosphorus oxides
Between the commercially important P4O6 and P4O10, phosphorus oxides are known with intermediate structures. On observation it will be seen that double bonded oxygen in at 1,2 position or 1,3 position are identical and both positions have same steric hindrance. Cycle 12341 and ABCDA are identical.

Hazards
Phosphorus pentoxide itself is not flammable. Just like sulfur trioxide, it reacts vigorously with water and water-containing substances like wood or cotton, liberates much heat and may even cause fire due to the highly exothermic nature of such reactions. It is corrosive to metal and is very irritating – it may cause severe burns to the eye, skin, mucous membrane, and respiratory tract even at concentrations as low as 1 mg/m3.

SubUrbia (play)

SubUrbia is a play by Eric Bogosian chronicling the nighttime activities of a group of aimless 20-somethings still living in their suburbian New Jersey hometown and their reunion with a former high school classmate, Pony, who has become a successful musician. Pony's return strips away illusions and excuses to reveal the meaningless dead-end existences of everyone.

Productions
The play was originally produced at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater of the Lincoln Center Theater from April 27 through August 28, 1994, featuring Martha Plimpton (Sooze), Josh Hamilton (Jeff), Firdous Bamji (Norman), Tim Guinee (Tim), Wendy Hoopes (Bee-Bee), Zak Orth (Pony), Babette Renee Props (Erica), Samia Shoaib (Pakeesa), and Steve Zahn (Buff). Director Robert Falls won a 1994–1995 OBIE Award for the production.

The Boston premiere was held at the Speakeasy Stage Co. in March and April 1997, with DavidLee Wilson (Jeff), Willy O'Donnell (Buff), Valerie Stanford (Sooze), Michael McLaughlin (Tim), Rik Sansone (Pony), Sims McCormick (Erica), Amir Darvish (Norman), Shonali Banerjee (Pakeeza), and Kate Luhr (Bee Bee). Directed by Steven Maler, the production won two Eliot Norton Theater Awards and appeared on the "Best Of 1997" lists in The Boston Globe, Boston Herald, and Phoenix.

The play was presented in 2006 at New York City's Second Stage Theatre with Kieran Culkin (Buff), Gaby Hoffmann (Sooze), Jessica Capshaw (Erica), Daniel Eric Gold (Jeff), Michael Esper (Pony), Halley Feiffer (Bee-Bee), Manu Narayan (Nazeer), and Diksha Basu (Pakeeza), and was directed by Jo Bonney.

Steve Zahn and Samia Shoaib reprised their original roles in the 1996 film version, which also included Parker Posey and Giovanni Ribisi.

Snake Bite Love

Snake Bite Love is the fourteenth studio album by British rock band Motörhead. It was released on 10 March 1998 via Steamhammer, their third with the label.

Recording
Snake Bite Love would be the final album co-produced with Howard Benson. By all accounts, the recording was rushed, with drummer Mikkey Dee quoted in the 2011 Motörhead book Overkill: The Untold Story of Motörhead: ""we were stressed out of our minds when we did that album. It turned out OK, but no more than OK. We all know it; we should've had three more weeks on that and it would've been a great album. I blame it completely on the time we had. For instance, we put on the worst song we ever had, which is "Night Side," it's the worst shit we've ever done, and we thought it was shit when we did it. We had no time to write another tune, we had nothing left...So we all feel the same about that album. I've heard people say, "That's the best album you've got" and I'm like "What planet are you from?""

Lemmy was far kinder to the LP in his autobiography White Line Fever, feeling it "came out quite nicely" but admits it was recorded "all over the place." Lemmy recalls that the making of Snake Bite Love was quite normal for the band: ""six weeks before we recorded it, we didn't even have one song. But when it came time, we put it together very quickly. Unfortunately, I was sick for some of the rehearsals, and when you leave two guys together who aren't singers, you end up with some weird arrangements.""

He points particularly to "Desperate for You" and "Night Side" in this respect and explains how the title track started as a completely different song; Dee recorded the drums tracks against a totally different set of chords, then it went back to Sweden where Campbell stated he was sick of the song and didn't like it. Lemmy agreed and Campbell came up with a new riff and changed the whole thing. Lemmy admits that the album is a prime example of him writing the words at the last minute, and adds: ""you know, lazy son of a bitch one more time, right?""

Release
In the Motörhead documentary The Guts and the Glory, Lemmy admits that Snake Bite Love "had two turkeys on it" — referring to "Desperate For You" and "Better Off Dead", although he did acknowledge that fans liked the tracks. Campbell is jokingly credited in the album's liner notes as an unpronounceable glyph ("The Artist Frequently Seen at the Liquor Store"), mocking Prince.

Reception
Reviewers have noted the album shows the less heavier side of Motörhead as there are "one or two too many slower tracks, but it's still heavy for the most part" and having a mixture of musical ideas, ranging from the true metal of "Dogs of War" and "Assassin" to rock and roll influenced songs like "Snake Bite Love" and "Don't Lie to Me".

Another view is the album is not as cutting and consistent as the previous effort but sees "Love for Sale" as a "grooving and flowing romp", "Joy of Labour" having "plenty of nasty slow riffs", and "Night Side" as a traditional fast track which will please "old school" fans.

AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine calls Snake Bite Love: ""an undisguised album...There isn't necessarily anything wrong with the record, as it offers a solid set of blistering, heavy rockers that race by at breakneck speed, but it doesn't add any new twists to the formula or have particularly memorable songs.""

In 2011, Motörhead biographer Joel McIver deemed it "solid, reliable, and not hugely memorable."

Personnel
Per the album's liner notes.
 * Lemmy – lead vocals, bass
 * Phil Campbell – lead guitar
 * Mikkey Dee – drums

Production

 * Howard Benson – producer
 * Chris Morrison – assistant engineer
 * Greg D'Angelo – assistant engineer
 * Kris Solem – mastering
 * Motörhead – executive producers
 * Joe Petagno – Snaggletooth, album cover

Joseph Samachson

Joseph Samachson (October 13, 1906 – June 2, 1980) was an American scientist and writer, primarily of science fiction and comic books.

Biography
Joseph Samachson was born on October 13, 1906, in Trenton, New Jersey, the son of Russian Jewish parents, Anna (Roshansky) and David Louis Samachson, a businessman.

Samachson died of complications from Parkinson's disease on June 2, 1980, in Chicago, Illinois. He had a son, Michael Samachson, and a daughter, the photographer Miriam Berkley.

Biochemist
A graduate of Rutgers University, he earned a Ph.D. in chemistry from Yale at the age of 23. He was an assistant professor at the College of Medicine, University of Illinois. He also headed a laboratory in metabolic research at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Hines, Illinois, a research unit dealing with diseases that affect the skeleton. Comics historian Jerry Bails wrote that Samachson worked as a research chemist for the American Molasses Company until 1938, leaving to become a "freelance technical writer".

Author
As a writer, Samachson translated several scientific papers. He also wrote science fiction and comics.

Science fiction and pulps
He wrote many science fiction works (under the pseudonym William Morrison), including two novels published in Startling Stories, the 1937 pulp title Murder of a Professor and short stories for several magazines, including Money from Heaven (1942). He also penned a couple of Captain Future pulp novels c.1941–1942 (under the house name "Brett Sterling"), and had work appear in the science fiction magazine Galaxy. Gnome Press published Mel Oliver and Space Rover on Mars in1954. and was also published in a Dutch translation.

Comics
He is believed to have begun working for DC Comics in late 1942, working on comics scripts for characters notably including Batman. He also wrote scripts for comics and characters including Sandman, Green Arrow, Airwave and Robotman, as well as "a string of 17 science-fiction stories in 1955 and 1956".

In 1955, he created (with artist Joe Certa) the Martian Manhunter in the pages of Detective Comics #225. Usually credited as author on the initial strip, some commentators believe that he may have produced the plot, but that writer Jack Miller (who most believe succeeded Samachson in writing the character with the next issue), may have produced the first script. Don Markstein's Toonopedia also suggests that Samachson wrote "many subsequent" appearances of J'Onn J'Onzz rather than just the first. Jerry Bails also lists Samachson as having co-created the historical DC character Tomahawk. In 1943 Samachson also created the character Two-Gun Percy, which first appeared under the DC Comics imprint All Funny Comics and was drawn by Bernard Baily.

In 1975, DC Comics adapted an unused story he wrote in the 1940s featuring the Seven Soldiers of Victory into a six-part serial in Adventure Comics #438-443.

Television
Samachson also wrote scripts for Captain Video and His Video Rangers.

Other work
With his wife Dorothy Samachson, he wrote about theater ("Let's Meet the Theatre" and "The Dramatic Story of the Theatre"), music ("Masters of Music" and The Fabulous World of Opera), ballet, archeology (Good Digging) and a number of other titles, including Rome, a Rand McNally "Cities of the World" title.

In addition, Samachson was a frequent contributor to scientific journals and the author of The Armor Within Us: The Story of Bone.

Samuelson condition

The Samuelson condition, due to Paul Samuelson, in the theory of public economics, is a condition for optimal provision of public goods.

For an economy with n consumers, the conditions is:

 * $$ \sum_{i=1}^n \text{MRS}_i = \text{MRT} $$

MRSi is individual i marginal rate of substitution and MRT is the economy's marginal rate of transformation between the public good and an arbitrarily chosen private good. Note that while the marginal rates of substitution are indexed by individuals, the marginal rate of transformation is not; it is an economy wide rate.

If the private good is a numeraire good then the Samuelson condition can be re-written as:

 * $$ \sum_{i=1}^n \text{MB}_i = \text{MC} $$

where $$ \text{MB}_i $$ is the marginal benefit to each person of consuming one more unit of the public good, and $$ \text{MC} $$ is the marginal cost of providing that good. In other words, the public good should be provided as long as the overall benefits to consumers from that good are at least as great as the cost of providing it (public good]]s are non-rival, so can be enjoyed by many consumers simultaneously).

When written this way, the Samuelson condition has a simple graphical interpretation. Each individual consumer's marginal benefit, $$ \text{MB}_i $$, represents his or her demand for the public good, or willingness to pay. The sum of the marginal benefits represent the aggregate willingness to pay or aggregate demand. The marginal cost is, under competitive market conditions, the supply for public goods. Hence the Samuelson condition can be thought of as a generalization of supply and demand concepts from private to public goods.

Derivation
Let $x$ denote private goods, $y$  the public good, $w$  aggregate wealth, and $z$  how much is dedicated towards the production of public goods (sacrifices of private consumption made for the public good).

We maximize the weighted (by $\alpha^i$ ) utility function for each consumer $$i$$:$$\max_{x^i,y}\left\{\sum_i \alpha^i u^i(x^i,y^i) \right\}~\text{subject to:} $$

$$g(z)=y~$$(spending on $$y$$);

$$w-z\geqslant \sum_{i=1}^I x^i$$ (all resources devoted to private goods must be greater than or equal to the sum of private goods across everyone).

We can solve using the Lagrangian method:

$$L=\sum_i \alpha^i u^i(x^i,y)+\lambda\left(w-z-\sum_{i=1}^I x^i\right) +\mu(g(z)-y)$$

The first order conditions are given by:

$$(1)\quad x^i: \quad \alpha^i\frac{\partial u^i}{\partial x^i} = \lambda\ \forall\ i;$$

$$(2)\quad y:\quad \sum_i \alpha^i\frac{\partial u^i}{\partial y}=\mu;$$

$$(3)\quad z:\quad \mu g'=\lambda.$$

From (2) and (3):

$$g'\sum_i \alpha^i\frac{\partial u^i}{\partial y} = \lambda = \alpha^i\frac{\partial u^i}{\partial x^i}$$

Divide by $$\lambda$$ and then by $$g'$$:

$$\sum \frac{\alpha^i \frac{\partial u^i}{\partial y}}{\lambda} = \frac{1}{g'}$$

But $$\lambda = \alpha^i\frac{\partial u^i}{\partial x^i}$$ for all $$i$$, so:

$$\sum \frac{\frac{\partial u^i}{\partial y}}{\frac{\partial u^i}{\partial x^i}} =\frac{1}{g'}$$.

LHS is defined as the marginal rate of substitution of public for private good (for an individual $$i$$), and RHS is defined as the marginal rate of transformation (for the society as a whole). Therefore, finally, we arrive at:

$$\sum_i MRS^i = MRT. $$

Missouri Route 465

Route 465 was a short highway in southern Missouri. It followed Ozark Mountain Highroad northwest of Branson. The southern terminus was at Route 76, while the northern terminus was at U.S. Route 65 north of Branson. There were plans to eventually reconnect the route to US 65.

Route description
Route 465 began at an interchange with Route 76 northwest of Branson in Stone County. A stub of the freeway with ghost ramps continues a short distance south of the interchange. From the junction with Route 76, the four-lane freeway headed north through wooded hilly areas, curving to the northeast. The median widened and the road entered Taney County before heading to the north again. The route turned to the east, the median narrowing before an interchange with Route 248. Past this interchange, the highway continued east through more rural areas. The freeway ended as the road came to an at-grade intersection with Adair Road. Route 465 went east as a four-lane undivided road for a short distance before ending at an interchange with US 65, where Route 76 now leaves the Highroad to run concurrently along US 65 to downtown Branson. The road continues past US 65 as Route F.

History
Route 465 opened to traffic in June 2003. There were plans to extend Ozark Mountain Road back to US 65. Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDot) owns the right of way for the unbuilt portion. As of 2021 there are no plans to extend the highway.

In order for the city of Branson to obtain the "strip" of Branson between Route 376 and US 65, Route 76 was routed on to the Highroad and US 65 between the Highroad and 76 Country Boulevard. As Route 76 was re-aligned on to the entirety of the highroad, Route 465 was decommissioned. Work to replace the old signage started on January 6, 2020, and was projected to end in March 2020. Former Route 76 between the now city-maintained part of 76 Country Boulevard and the Highroad became part of Route 376.

Major intersections
All exits were unnumbered.

Tan Seng Giaw

Tan Seng Giaw (born 26 May 1942) is a veteran Malaysian from the Democratic Action Party (DAP).

Background
He was born on 26 May 1942 in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. After attending Primary and High School in Kelantan and Penang respectively, he furthered his education at Plymouth College and Leeds University, England. His multi-cultural academic and social background has resulted in Seng Giaw being fluent in Mandarin, English, Bahasa Malaysia, and competent in the writing of Malay in the Jawi script. Seng Giaw's academic qualifications include a M.B.Ch. B. (Leeds), D. Obs. R.C.O.G, M.R.C.P (UK) and finally an M.D. honours (Leeds) in 1976.

An active participant in student activities, he represented the Leeds Medical School on the British Medical Student's Association for five years, and was a founding member of the Chinese Society of the University of Leeds, where he held the office of Society President during 1965–66. His social activities include the office of Pengerusi Kehormat of Persatuan Murid-murid Tua, Chung Ling for the states of Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang and Kuala Lumpur.

Over the years, Tan has gathered a wide portfolio of medical experience, having worked at various hospitals (both international and local), private practice clinics and a short period in the Royal Malaysian Army. Tan is working as a Specialist Dermatologist at the Chinese Maternity Hospital Medical Centre.

In 1972, Tan married Oon Hong Geok, a paediatrician and has two daughters. His wife used to be active in the political scene and represented Taman Aman, Petaling Jaya as a state assemblywoman.

Political career
Tan's political involvement began in 1976, during which he served the people of Kepong on behalf of Dr. Tan Chee Khoon. He was the Democratic Action Party's National Vice-chairman and Member of Parliament for the constituency of Kepong leading up to the 2018 general election (GE14).

Despite having been successful elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) of Kepong for eight consecutive terms (from 1982 to 2018), Tan was dropped as a candidate of choice for the party in GE14. This was amid the rumours nearing the GE14, and Tan's action who went on the offensive by declaring 'he will not back down' and began releasing a series of press statements including a veiled attack on DAP party leaders through an interview with Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA)'s controlled newspaper, The Star as well as UMNO controlled, New Straits Times which labeled them as 'not as honest as the late Tan Chee Koon'.

Stevie Reeves

Stevie Reeves (born May 16, 1967) is an American professional stock car racing driver and spotter.

Driving career
After several seasons racing on the bullrings (short tracks) of Indiana, Reeves traveled nationally with the United States Automobile Club and wound up winning back-to-back USAC National Midget titles in 1992 for the Wilke Racers and in 1993 for midget car owner Steve Lewis.

After collecting those two titles, Reeves ventured into the NASCAR Busch Grand National Series in 1994 joining Mark Thomas Racing with Clabber Girl sponsorship on the number 96 Chevrolet. In 1995, Reeves collected his first pole at Bristol Motor Speedway and got his first top 10 with a sixth-place finish at Richmond International Raceway. His career best finish in the final points standings for the Busch Series was in 1997 when he took 20th place.

Ultimately his career in the Busch Series was for the most part underwhelming. He never could hold a steady ride in his NASCAR career, which lasted from 1994 to 1998. Reeves was employed by five different car owners in his five seasons (Mark Thomas, Ed Whitaker, Mike Curb, Donald Laird, and David Ridling).

After his stint in Busch, Reeves returned to his roots in open-wheel racing in 1998. Reeves made his first start in the Indy Racing League at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina on July 25 of that year, finishing an impressive 10th for Pagan Racing. He drove three more IRL races in 2000 for Logan Racing, suffering mechanical failures in each event.

Reeves returned to the USAC Silver Crown Series in 1998, wheeling the Johnny Vance/Raybestos No. 28 Beast.

Reeves was inducted into the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame in 2023.

Spotting
In 2005, he was employed with Dale Earnhardt, Inc. in NASCAR spotting for Paul Menard in the Busch series. He also drove in the USAC Silver Crown Series. Reeves was the spotter for Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the 2004 Daytona 500, Earnhardt's first win in the event.

Reeves moved Hendrick Motorsports in 2007 as the spotter of Jimmie Johnson's No. 48 team, replacing Earl Barban. With Reeves, Johnson won 16 races and the 2007 and 2008 championships, but Reeves was laid off after the 2008 season.

After working as a spotter for JTG Daugherty Racing's No. 47 car of Ryan Preece, Reeves joined Christopher Bell's No. 95 Leavine Family Racing team in 2020.

Talk:Karl Sverkersson

Why 7?
Why is he Charles VII if there weren't any before him named Charles?

Does anyone check this discussion
I'd really like to know what the deal is with the 7

Carl III to Carl VIII Fakes
This king was Carl I Sweartgarson (Sw: Karl Sverkersson), not Charles VII. Carl II Canuteson numbered himself correctly in the 15th century, but Carl IX (1604-1611) began a new numbering series wanting to use a higher (false) number. Carl became an English-language name of its own a long time ago, and it no longer advisable to use the British habit of calling kings of Sweden Charles, in any context. The Wikipedia should enter a cross reference to that effect. See "Throne of a Thousand Years" by Jacob Truedson Demitz (1996), now out of print but available through most National Libraries and many others.

I've heard that the first 6 were legendary. If this is the case then why aren't they among the mythological or semi-mythological kings?

Legendary/Mythological
Why are the first 6 Karls not mentioned in the legendary and semi legendary kings?
 * They were all just called "Carolus", and all six were described briefly and in complimentary terms, but not enough to include in what you asked about. The timeline is so extremely silly (thousands of years) that it's not worth mentioning. There are no actual legends about any of those characters. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 11:07, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Ordinal number
Ok, I answered this on the Reference Desk page, but I'll repeat it:

The answer is that Charles VII (Sverkersson) was the first historical king named "Karl". The other 6 were inventions of Johannes Magnus in his book Gothorvm sveonvmqve historia, where the author provides a fictuous list of Swedish kings since the Fall of man. The first king to actually use an ordinal number was Erik XIV, who used Magnus' list. The reason these kings are not listed in the "semi-legendary" or "mythological" kings is that the source is too recent, and not even the most nationalist of historians have believed it since the 18th century. The mythological kings on the other hand are from more contemporary sources like Beowulf, and are harder to disprove.

An related anecdote is that when Karl XIV Johan became the first Swedish king of Norway, the Norwegians insisted on calling him Charles III, since Norway had only had 2 "Karl"s before him. The king wished to be the XIV in Norway as well, and pointed out that it shouldn't matter since Sweden hadn't had 13 "Karl"s before him, either. As something of a compromise, he was more commonly referred to as "Karl Johan" in Norway, without any ordinal. (Oslo's main street is named after him.) --BluePlatypus 19:15, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Charles XIV was not the first Swedish king of Norway. Before him, there had been at least three (or, with liberal interpretation of "Swedish", many more) Swedish kings of Norway: Magnus IV, Charles Knutson, and Charles XIII. Whereas it would be totally correct top say that Charles XIV was the first French king of Norway. Suedois 06:27, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Duplicate article?
Is he the same person as Kol Sverkerson? Ardric47 01:18, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes I think so. / Fred-Chess 21:54, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Invented kings
Did Johannes Magnus invent the House of Munsö, or did he not refer to the kings of that house in his work?

Fred-J 08:57, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Ok, I confused Karl with Erik. Question withdrawn. / Fred-J 09:12, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Access 2003
In the version table at the bottom right, Access 2003 is not listed. Presumably this is still Jet 4.0. Perhaps someone knowledgable can update the table accordingly.

Jet Red vs. Jet Blue
I'm surprised no one has brought up the differences between the two major implementations of the Jet engine, Jet Red (the engine used by Access) and Jet Blue (use by Exchange Server and Active Directory). I did some major research on this a while back. I will add it here when I get a chance.

Future of Jet
The Future section has two problems, seems to me:

 * The claim that Jet from Access 2007 is only going to be supported in Access is not actually supported by the Eric Rucker citation (http://blogs.msdn.com/access/archive/2005/10/13/480870.aspx). The truth is that the version of the Jet Database engine that the SQL Server team maintains will continue to exist, it just won't be updated. But that doesn't mean it's dead, because that's what we've been told about the Jet db engine since the release of Jet 4 back in 1999, that it was dead, with no further development. If you look at the cited blog post by Eric Rucker, you'll see that it doesn't support the claim being made.

 * There is no citation on Microsoft's website for the section on the 32-bit issue. I've searched the website and have found nothing about it. I do know that there is a separate set of Jet DLLs with different names for 64-bit Windows Server 2003 (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870753/en-us). I don't know if those are 64-bit DLLs or not, but the fact that they have different names seems to me to indicate something specifically adapted to the 64-bit platform. Furthermore, the version of Jet that will be developed by the Access team will surely be compiled to run on 64-bit Windows natively. Indeed, I'd be surprised if that were not already the case, though I have no documentation for it.

Dwfenton 21:55, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

a modified form of an Indexed Sequential Access Method (ISAM) database
The records are not stored sequentially, and the system is not an ISAM system in the common sense of the word, ie not a system like Paradox or dBase.

So although the statement is technically correct, it is perhaps not very useful.

In fact, after reviewing the literature briefly, I wonder if it might be less misleading just to leave that sentence out. (david) 218.214.18.240 14:54, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Past tense/Present tense

 * Introduction: — present tense
 * Architecture:  — past tense
 * Locking:       — past tense
 * Transaction Processing: — past tense
 * Data integrity: — past tense
 * Security:      — present tense
 * Queries:       — present tense
 * History:       — mixed tense
 * Future:        — present tense

It looks like it would be less work to correct the tense of the 'Introduction', 'Security' and 'Queries' sections. On the other hand, since Jet is still widely used, using the past tense seems a little strange. (david) 218.214.18.240 15:10, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

The article should be entirely in present tense. Jet is still a component of all versions of Windows, as it is used for access to the Active Directory data store (though that's Jet Blue instead of Jet Red). That is why the Windows team maintains the Jet 4.0 version. It is still in use on every single Windows computer since Windows 2000, so there is no reason it should be past tense.

Furthermore, Jet still lives in the forked version that the Access team manages since Access 2007. Yes, they are calling it ACE and Access Database Engine, but it is just a new version of Jet, with enhancements. Dwfenton (talk) 18:15, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Corruption issues?
The Microsoft Jet Database Engine was used by Diebold in its voting machines that were recently audited in Ohio, and the auditors suspected database corruption. The article below notes that Microsoft says corruption is possible with Jet under similiar circumstances. I think this is important to talk about in this Wikipedia article, so it'd be great if someone more familiar with Jet should find the original source material from MSDN and describe the issue and how it relates to the ongoing issue in Ohio.

Dmazzoni 19:49, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Interesting. KB article from MS is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283849 - Ta bu shi da yu 00:29, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't see why it should be discussed in the article at all. It's a political issue and a mis-use of Jet by a technology company. That's just not relevant here. Dwfenton (talk) 18:17, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

From personal experience, I can say that Jet File Corruption would mainly be attributed to MS-Access Software. When I have used ODBC to connect to MDB files, I have yet to see corruption problems or multi-user concurrency issues. As a result, any new documentation/references/examples added to the article should keep this in mind and not be too critical of Jet Engine. Put the blame where the blame is really due, in other words. Corruption problems can be the result of using the wrong Jet file (MDB) format 2.x, 3.x, 4.x with the MS-Access Driver versions installed. That is important. Also, if the DSN is not configured correctly to handle concurrency, then corruption will happen. See ODBC ADMINISTRATOR utility Help for details. The utility warns that if certain parameters are not set a certain way in the DSN, that unpredictable multi-user concurrency issues could arise. For example: UserCommitSync ODBC Administrator Help says it, "Specifies whether the Microsoft Access driver will perform explicit user-defined transactions asynchronously. The default is "Yes", meaning that the Microsoft Access driver will wait for commits in a user-defined transaction to be completed. Setting this value to "No" can have unpredictable transactional consequences in a multiuser environment." 192.136.195.233 (talk) 22:23, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Corruption issues with Jet Red Engine Databases are often attributed to MS-Access front-end software or Visual Basic applications. I believe I have heard that the ODBC interface for VB is unstable? Also, what makes an MDB file unstable and likely to corrupt is keeping the backend and frontend together instead of splitting them out into separate files. Tables and Indexes in one file, and Macros, Forms, Reports, etc. in another file. 2605:6001:E398:BE00:8C66:B78:7E31:E463 (talk) 07:22, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Jet version of Access 2003, XP and 2000
Both Access 2003 and XP can save MDB file to a newer format that Access 2000 cannot open. Are they really using the same version of Jet engine?--218.102.91.203 05:59, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Access developers make a distinction between the database (Jet 4), and the project that is stored in it (Access 2K, 2K2, 2K3). Access 2000 can use the data in a Jet 4 database, (and can 'open' the database enough to get the data in and out), but can't open a 2K2 or 2K3 project even though stored in the same kind of database. 218.214.18.240 (talk) 06:27, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Implicit transactions
Transactions improved performance in Access 2.0 on Windows 3.11, so implicit transactions were added to Jet 3.0. However, the file system in Windows 95 cached differently, and no longer wrote data to disk under application control. Transactions in Access 2.0 were a way of reducing disk access, but in Jet 3.0 on Windows 95 implicit transactions added overhead without reducing disk access. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.214.18.240 (talk) 12:15, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

"Native Jet ISAM Driver"
Where did this term come from? I can't see it anywhere else on the web. The other drivers (the Installable ISAM drivers, IISAM) connected to ISAM database systems, and the term IISAM is still used in the help files, so it sort of makes sense to derive a new term "Native Jet" ISAM driver by analogy, except that Native Jet doesn't use a Sequential Access Method, so calling it an ISAM driver is a bit of a stretch. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.162.148 (talk) 03:32, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

MDAC Exclusion
The article states:

 * JET stands for Joint Engine Technology...[and] has since been superseded, ...and no longer exists as a component of Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC).

The reason Jet is no longer included in the MDAC is not because it is deprecated or obsolete, but because it's unnecessary to include in the MDAC a component that is installed by default in all versions of Windows starting with Windows 2000. I believe this sentence should be changed to reflect that fact. 67.82.153.58 (talk) 16:58, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Rushmore
Rushmore was technology that MS acquired with the purchase of FoxPro_2 in 1992. It was incorporated into Jet 2, not as the article states in Jet 3. I know this because a significant part of what Rushmore does to enhance performance (in addition to the query optimization) is return the beginning of a dataset before the whole dataset has been retrieved, and this feature was present in Access 2 from the very beginning. Dwfenton (talk) 18:39, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

History: Jet 4.0
There are many problems with this section. The citation points to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/275561/en as the source, and if you read that article you realize there are a number of misrepresentations and outright falsehoods.

- "Jet 4.0 was the last version produced by Microsoft"
 * Not true. The ACE introduced with Access 2007 is the "last version" of Jet that MS has produced, and is still in active development. Jet 4.0 is the last version that Microsoft calls "Jet" but the Jet database engine is alive and well and under continuing enhancement by the Access development team. Jet 4.0 is a frozen version and is maintained by the Windows development team because it is used for managing the data store of Active Directory.

- "Changes to data types to be more like SQL Server's...Auto-Increment support was dropped..."
 * Not true. I can't even figure out what part of the cited article this garbled assertion comes from. There seems to be a fundamental misinterpretation of what that article ("Description of the new features that are included in Microsoft Jet 4.0") is about based on apparent ignorance of earlier versions of Jet. Many of the "new features" are not new features of the database engine, but enhancements to allow the use of more widely compatible DDL. In regard to Autoincrement, the article says "The synonym AutoIncrement is no longer supported", which clearly indicates that this is about DDL, not about the features of the underlying engine. Indeed, Jet 4 introduced significant enhancements to its AutoIncrement data type, most specifically, the ability to use DDL and DAO/ADO to set the seed value and increment.

- "Finer grained security"
 * This appears to be another case of not understanding what the article is about. There is no "finer-grained security," but Jet 4.0's DDL was enhanced to make it possible to manage security via DDL (whereas previously you had to use DAO or the Access UI).

- "views support"
 * Another case of changed DDL. Jet has always supported the equivalent of VIEWS but calls them SAVED QUERYDEFS. The enhancement is that in DDL you can now use the same commands for creating them that you can use in SQL Server. Where the cited article says "Support for the definition of Views has been added to Microsoft Jet. This capability is built on top of Microsoft Jet's stored query functionality and offers almost exactly the same capability." it's quite clear that this is an enhancement to DDL, not to the underlying database engine.

- "procedure support"
 * Again, this is misleading. Jet does not have stored procedures. It does have saved DML queries and parameterized queries, but no procedural code is allowed in a Jet QueryDef. Again, the cited article quite clearly states this as "Support for the definition of Procedures has been added to Microsoft Jet. This capability is built on top of Microsoft Jet's stored query functionality of action queries (queries based on UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT INTO, and DROP statements) and SELECT queries that contain parameters." This is an addition to Jet DDL, not a new feature of Jet.

- "Referential integrity support"
 * Yet again, this makes it sound like RI was added in Jet 4, whereas Jet had engine-level RI from the very first version. What has been added is some new types of RI (e.g., CASCADE NULL) and the appropriate DDL for adding/altering it.

- "A user list, which allows administrators to determine who is connected to the database"
 * Here again, a misinterpretation. The UserRoster (accessible via ADO) is a feature added to Jet 4, but you could always get this information in the past, but you had to use a non-supported Microsoft-provided DLL, ldbuser.dll. All that has changed is that you can now get this information without needing an additional component.

- "Bi-directional replication with MS SQL Server"
 * In this case, this is an understatement (and applies only to SQL Server 7 and SQL Server 2000 -- SQL Server 2005 dropped support for heterogeous replication with Jet 4). While heterogenous replication was indeed a new feature of Jet 4, replication itself was significantly enhanced in Jet 4, with the host of features listed in the article. A new bullet point should be added here to summarize the numerous replication changes listed in the cited article. Dwfenton (talk) 18:55, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Future
The article states:
 * From a data access technology standpoint, Jet is considered a deprecated technology by Microsoft. The Jet engine is no longer distributed with the latest Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC).

The last statement is a restatement of the problem cited in the MDAC talk section, and should be amended to reflect that the removal of Jet from the MDAC is not an indication of deprecation, just a consequence of it no longer being needed to be distributed in the MDAC since Jet 4 is a component of all versions of Windows since Windows 2000.

As to "deprecated technology," the cited article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms810810.aspx) is a poor support for that. That article is not about Jet, not about Access, but about Microsoft's development platforms in general. Jet *is* deprecated by MS for use with its non-Access development tools, mostly because .NET doesn't live well with a COM-based component. In addition to that, there is the 64-bit issue. In other words, Jet is deprecated as go-to database engine for its development tools (it was a fundamental component of VB versions 3-6), but that doesn't mean it is dead or should not be used in other context. Dwfenton (talk) 19:09, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

JET and Operating System : Jet Red vs Jet Blue
M$: "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/gg269259%28v=exchg.10%29.aspx" yet ... From "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/327199/what-will-we-do-after-access" the link from comment "onedaywhen Jul 6 '09 at 13:00" is deleted from MSDN replaced by "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg269259%28EXCHG.10%29.aspx"

"ESE was formerly known as Joint Engine Technology (JET) Blue, and so frequently the term "JET Blue" or "JET" is used interchangeably with the term ESE outside this documentation. However, there are in fact two completely separate implementations of the JET API, called JET Blue and JET Red. The term "JET" is frequently also used to refer to JET Red, which is the database engine that is used with Microsoft Office Access. The two JET implementations are completely different, are separately maintained, have a vastly different feature set, and are not interchangeable. Within the ESE documentation, "JET" refers to the ESE or the JET API as ESE implements it. Any references to the JET Red will always explicitly be labeled "JET Red". "

JET engine was used as the SAM (Security Account Manager) database engine when I worked on NT5 codebase (win2000, xp, 2k3 server) (and I believe also earlier NT as well), hence the reference to it being used for Active Directory. The Registry SAM was migrated to SQL based database in NT6 (Vista, Win7, Server 2008 inc. R2), there was documentation of this for Forefront Integration and Identity Manager 2003 available internally but I couldn't find the Technet ref (dead link, moved?). This would be a partial explanation of lack of development of the Jet database for the future. (Experimentation of database based file systems by M$ and IBM (DB2/Domino) seems to have taken a back seat to "big data" like Hadoop.) Shjacks45 (talk) 00:56, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Jet (Red) has yet to be dis-proven as a viable competitor to SQL Server. Capacity Testing not given in this article. Only opinion to upgrade to SQL Server. That is a NO NO
I find it strange that this article makes a business pitch for SQL Server. Almost like it is trying to fool people into believing they need to upsize to MS SQL server if they want a large database. That should not be allowed in the article as it is not supported by fact, only opinion with revenue motives. I know for a fact that MS-Jet Red databases can contain billions of records. The idea that a Jet database is a single MDB extension file is not supported by any authentic research. Jet Red MDB files are just as likely to represent a single table or a partial table spanning 100's of MDB files. That is the fact of the matter. No OLE linking involved either.

The other thing missing in this article related to my previous comments above is MULTI-USER CONCURENCY CAPACITY TESTING. I it a well known established fact that MS-Jet databases can withstand intensive concurrent ODBC/SQL bombardment. JOINT DIRECT ATTACK MUNITIONS (JDAM) in U.S. Military parlance, and MDB (Microsoft Database Bunker). Not to be confused with JOINT ENGINE TECHNOLOGY (JET), and MDB (Microsoft DataBase). A Microsoft 2005 White Paper establishes theoretically that 255 concurrent users can connect to a single MDB file and retain good performance, and that some customers (Microsoft acknowledges) may be exceeding these recommended limits. I personally have run 510 concurrent SQL ODBC processes against a single *.MDB Jet 4.x file with reliable SQL report output - over and over again.

Nothing has been said in this article about using MS-Jet (Red) databases in a Distributed/Multi-User environment Such as a single MS-Jet(Red) database containing 1000's of *.MDB files accessed via ODBC enabled applications, and with the database distributed both physically and logically across many (or perhaps dozens) of Windows O/S Servers. The potential for 100s or 1000s of Users hitting this database concurrently and performing Read/Writes has yet to be dis-proven as a viable option to replace upsizing to MS SQL Server. 64.134.147.182 (talk) 19:43, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Compact/Repair Nothing said about the many option available
Nothing is said in the article about all the options to compact/repair a Jet database file. This can be done through: (1) MS-Access Software Menu Option (2) JetComp.exe standalone utility, in both GUI and command line modes (3) Programmatically using the Method for CompactRepair. (4) 3rd Party Tools (5):                                            ODBC Administrator - You can even create empty Jet 3.x or 4.x database files Then use ODBC/SQL statements from a programming language, to build the tables and indexes/constraints for that database file. 64.134.147.182 (talk) 19:43, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation

Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation is a 1962 American comedy film directed by Henry Koster and starring James Stewart and Maureen O'Hara. The film is based on the novel Mr. Hobbs' Vacation, by Edward Streeter and features a popular singer of the time, Fabian.

Plot
Roger Hobbs is an overworked banker who reflects on his recent vacation. Originally, he and his wife Peggy were to travel overseas alone together, but Peggy instead arranges a seaside holiday, which includes their two grown daughters Susan and Janie, teenage daughter Katey, teenage son Danny, family cook Brenda, sons-in-law Stan Carver and Byron Grant, and young three grandchildren Peter, Peewee and Junior.

When Roger and Peggy reach their vacation destination, they find a dilapidated beach house with rotting steps. The shared telephone line and unreliable plumbing are running gags throughout the film.

Complications mount. Their youngest child and only son Danny only wants to watch television. Katey, embarrassed by a new set of dental braces, refuses to engage in any activities inside or outside the beach house. Meanwhile, their grandson wants nothing to do with Roger.

Furthermore, one of his sons-in-law, Stan, is unemployed, which is causing tension in his marriage to Susan. Their children are undisciplined, as Susan does not believe in saying no to them. Janie is married to Byron, a windbag college professor who has a lot of ideas on psychology.

While Peggy is quite worried about the state of the family, Roger argues that the children must learn to handle problems themselves, and that he and Peggy need to stay at arm's length.

Despite this, Roger quietly goes about trying to solve each problem, one by one. He manages to convince Katey to go to a local teen dance, where she insists on sitting on the sidelines with her mouth clenched shut. Roger bribes a handsome young man named Joe to pay attention to her; Joe genuinely falls for Katey and returns the money. After the television breaks, Roger agrees to take Danny on a boating trip, where they get lost in fog for a while but bond as father and son. Byron shows interest in an attractive neighbor, but Roger tells him that she is a paranoid schizophrenic, effectively keeping him from a full-fledged affair with her.

Son-in-law Stan has a shot at a good job, and Susan asks Roger and Peggy to entertain the potential employer and his wife for a few days. The couple present as prim, proper, and sober; the only interest the man has is bird-watching, and Roger endures a boring jaunt with him, but they are not what they seem to be. Chaos ensues in a madcap scene involving a hot shower and a broken door lock.

In the end, all these interpersonal crises are resolved and the family is sad to leave. Even the grumpy grandson is upset to leave his grandfather.

They book the beach house for the next summer.

Production
Nunnally Johnson wrote the screenplay for Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation based on Edward Streeter's novel, Mr. Hobbs' Vacation. Streeter had previously written the novel Father of the Bride, which was filmed in 1950 and remade in 1991.

Johnson had just finished directing a series of films, and wanted to focus on writing. He agreed to do Hobbs because he liked the story "and I knew something about it."

Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation was filmed in California at Laguna Beach and Dana Point. The film was shot using CinemaScope wide-screen formatting, with color by DeLuxe. It marked the first time James Stewart and Maureen O'Hara starred together in a film. They co-starred again in the 1966 Western The Rare Breed. During the scene in which Mr. Hobbs escorts his daughter Katey to a dance at the yacht club, Herb Alpert is the trumpet player in the band.

The movie was the first of two James Stewart made with Fabian, the second was Dear Brigitte (1965). "If anybody’s ever blessed, you have to be blessed to work with Jimmy Stewart," recalled Fabian. "He was the most congenial, helpful person I ever worked with."

It was a rare comedy role for John Saxon.

Reception
The film was relatively successful in the United States and Canada upon its release on June 15, 1962, earning $4 million with an estimated budget of $2 million, but found even greater success when released overseas.

James Stewart won the Silver Bear for Best Actor at the 12th Berlin International Film Festival for his performance, and director Henry Koster was nominated for Best Director. Stewart was nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Actor in a Musical/Comedy. The screenplay by Nunnally Johnson was nominated for Best Written Comedy by the Writers Guild of America. Stewart and Maureen O'Hara were also nominated for their performances by the Laurel Awards.

Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation's success inspired a series of light-hearted family comedies written by Johnson. Two of these also starred Stewart and were directed by Koster: Take Her, She's Mine (1963) and Dear Brigitte (1965).

This was the final feature film for actress Marie Wilson.

Critical reaction
Prior to the film's release, columnist Hedda Hopper wrote to her readers about it, saying: Dear Dad: It's vacation time, but before you take your wife and brood on yours, run—don't walk—and see Jimmy Stewart in "Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation." You will enjoy yours a thousand times more. It's hilarious! The film, upon its release, received generally positive reviews, although most were not as enthusiastic as Hopper's.

Domestic reviews
Bosley Crowther of The New York Times wrote in his review: "Right off the bat, it is suggested in this wacky domestic report that togetherness is strictly for the birds and that sensible parents, especially elders, should write it out of their books. The Mr. Hobbs of the title, played beguilingly by James Stewart, is very much of this opinion as far as his own brood is concerned." Wanda Hale of the New York Daily News gave the film a full four-star rating, calling it "a crackerjack comedy. By all means hurry to the Paramount Theatre and laugh yourself weak at this take-off on family togetherness on a holiday at the seashore that stars James Stewart in one of his funniest roles. Jerry Wald's comedy for 20th Century-Fox is more amusing than 'Mr. Hulot's Holiday' because of the dialogue—droll, clever, fresh lines written by one of the keenest wits in films, Nunnally Johnson. 'Mr. Hobbs' is not one of those slick comedies about people we seldom meet. It's a comedy of identity, the characters are those we know intimately, even ourselves." Philip K. Scheuer wrote in the Los Angeles Times: Twentieth Century-Fox has, for a change, what looks .like a box-office winner in "Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation," arriving in color today at the Fox Wilshire and three other theaters. Mr. Hobbs takes his family along with him and you might do the same. After alL the Hobbses' holiday lasts a whole month; all you are asked to devote to yours is a mere weekend—well two hours, anyhow. Mr. Hobbs Is played by James Stewart, his wife by Maureen O'Hara and his family, which is numerous, by some pleasing and not-too-familiar young people.

The producer is Jerry Wald, the director Henry Koster and the writer, using Edward Streeter's novel as a starter, Nunnally Johnson. Nunnally is a humorist in whom the milk of human kindness has soured, and some of this seeps through the script and tastes unwontedly bitter. At the other extreme, he has squirted the text with occasional witticisms that are funny in themselves but seem out of the context. Neither characteristic is calculated to lessen the over-all enjoyment of the paying customer. Myles Standish wrote in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: ONE WOULD SUPPOSE it is about time the modern American fetish of togetherness gets a gentle ribbing, and just that is given it in "MR. HOBBS TAKES A VACATION," an amusing domestic comedy at the FOX THEATER. [...] The film is loaded with chuckles, and Mr. Stewart does a marvelous job of character humor all the ridiculous developments are there, but he still keeps them realistic. The funniest sequence is one in which that deft comedian, John McGiver, and Marie Wilson as his wife, visit the Hobbs and have to be kowtowed to in spite of his grumpiness and the hopeless stuffiness of both, because it is hoped he will give a son-in-law a job. The climax, when Hobbs gets locked in the bathroom with the visiting wife when he tries to turn off the steam, is hilarious. Miss O'Hara, still as beautiful as ever, is quite a grandmother.

Others in the cast, like John Saxon, Natalie Trundy and Fabian, mostly play straight. It is Stewart who carries the comedy. It is a treat to hear him growl at a brat grandson (raised by modern psychological methods)—"Little creep." The St. Louis Globe-Democrat called it "a bright little comedy". A user of the Mae Tinee pseudonym in the Chicago Tribune said that "some of the resulting problems are genuinely funny, others rather strained. Some of the characters are obviously dragged in for box office appeal, but Lauri Peters, who is afflicted with braces and the horrors of being a wall flower at the same time, is appealing. James Stewart is likable in the lead, but Maureen O'Hara is a fairly sugary mama who looks more like a model than a woman with a large brood and a lot of problems. With a more selective script and more realistic direction, this item could have been a lot better. As is, it's never very convincing but occasionally rather amusing." Stanley Eichelbaum said in the San Francisco Examiner that "it doesn't take much ingenuity to predict almost all of the situation comedy that rains down on James Stewart in" the film, but added that "this is Wald's idea of good, clean, family fun and I suppose it is. For those who still find domestic imbroglios diverting, 1 heartily recommend this movie." Edwin Howard said in the Memphis Press-Scimitar that "unlike the plumbing, which always runs hot, the gags run mostly cold and gave me the feeling I had seen them all before, tho perhaps not all in the same movie." Frances Melrose of the Rocky Mountain News wrote that "the familiar, when it Isn't too painful, can be quite enjoyable. That's the case with 'Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation.'" She added that the movie Is in Technicolor, and Mr. Hobbs' vacation is more fun for everyone than it is for Mr. Hobbs." Henry T. Murdock of The Philadelphia Inquirer was among those who reviewed this film alongside the concurrent and similar Walt Disney comedy Bon Voyage!, remarking that "these two movies are variations on a theme, but the writing, acting and direction bring a refreshing quality to their gags." Boyd Martin of The Courier-Journal remarked that "despite the fact that its theme is hardly original and its situations predictable, it has enough unique moments to keep one's interest alive." Louis Cook of the Detroit Free-Press said it "is more often a study in family farapartness than togetherness, but it still has a lot of yuks for anybody who has attempted an old-fashioned family vacation, as who hasn't." Jay Carmody, a drama critic for The Evening Star of Washington, D.C., said that it "undertakes to prove that there still is mileage in the domestic farce built' around a family’s summer holiday. This is a daring adventure on the part of an old pro pack led by James Stewart and Maureen O’Hara. They bring it off rather better than might be expected but not to the extent of concealing that the theme has been exposed to a lot of time and weather. One is inclined to attribute the major merriment of this Jerry Wald production, one of his last, to one of the non-visible old pros associated with the film. This would be Scriptist Nunnally Johnson." Hope Pantell of Baltimore's Evening Sun wrote that "if the whole film were as good as its best moments, this would be a veritable gem of a spoof of togetherness. However, the proceedings do sag rather often, but considering the dearth of this sort of thing, one must be grateful for what topical, funny lines and situations are available." Marjory Adams wrote in The Boston Globe:The new comedy at the Keith Memorial has warmth, human appeal and the charm of slick production values. It is funnier in some spots than others—but as long as the laughs come in bunches, not many people in the audience are going to scrutinize the Nunnally Johnson screen play too closely. Denman Kountze, Jr. of the Omaha World-Herald said that "the film and the actor, chosen by the State Department to represent the United Slates at this summer's Berlin Film Festival, united with a splendid script and admirable cast to evoke a light, bright mood that never flagged."

Wendy Michener of the Toronto Daily Star said that "screenwriter Nunnally Johnson has allotted the family too many miseries for comfort", and that "for about 10 minutes—the length of an early morning bird-hunt—the comedy gets off the ground. Veteran director Henry Koster must have lost his touch. Deficient in mood inchoate in style, 'Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation' is a sort of stagnant 'Mr. Hulot’s Holiday'. Maureen O'Hara delivers her lines as though trying to be understood over a bad long-distance telephone connection while Valeric Varda (once Susan Vajda of Toronto) successfully recreates the siren stereotype. James Stewart frequently has good moments, but these are not enough to save the day." Michael P. Feiner of the Montreal Star wrote that "the picture is excellent when it treats the Hobbses as a caricature of a representative North American family. The first half hour of the movie takes some gentle but Intelligent satirical pokes at intra-family difficulties in general and communication troubles in particular. 'Mr. Hobbs' dips badly, however, when it gets caught up in the specific affairs of the Hobbs family. As detailed situations arise, the film deteriorates into a series of weak 'Father Knows Best' episodes which progressively become more tedious and more far-fetched. The last half of the picture could have done well with a less lenient editor." Harold Whitehead of Montreal's Gazette wrote: If the moviemakers ever want another team like William Powell and Myrna Loy we can think of no better candidates than James Stewart and Maureen O'Hara.

Mr. Stewart has always been an accomplished performer in comedy roles and Miss O'Hara, in late years, has gathered a great deal of technique. (Anyhow she is so beautiful you can forgive her any theatrical sins. This may be a sign of advancing years but we think she is even lovelier now than she was in her first film well over 20 years ago).

Anyway this film shows the pair up as a very compatible team and we would like to see much more of them, if anyone down in Hollywood is listening.

The film itself is a sometimes frothy, sometimes touching, sometimes merely trite affair about one man and his large family, which includes his children's often brattish children, and how they all fare in a ramshackle old beach house.

The script is bright often enough to hold the attention and the characters are handsome and amiable folk (pretty rare birds in movies these days).

International reviews
In his review for London's Daily Mirror, critic Dick Richards wrote that the fact "that this lighthearted film does not become as laborious to the audience as the holiday itself does to Jimmy Stewart is almost entirely due to his deft comic skill. He wheedles every shred of fun out of some prolonged, under-nourished comedy situations. The dialogue is mostly brisk and bright and with his easy, laconic, slightly bemused charm, Stewart keeps the whole thing on a cheerful note. Lauri Peters makes a neat debut as a teenager who is shy of boys because of the new braces on her teeth. As the awkward house guests John McGuier and Marie Wilson arrive just in time to pump some fresh gaiety into the proceedings when it is very much needed." The Sunday Mirror called it "first-rate family entertainment." Paul Dehn of the Daily Herald called the film "conventional foolery—made acceptable by a witty performance from Mr. Stewart, a too brief bit of deadpan brilliance from John McGiver as a relentless birdwatcher, and an enchanting display of teenage talent from Miss Peters—with whom I could never be fed up to the teeth while she was so touchingly fed up with hers. Give her a year or two, and she will be glittering in the comic galaxy whose brightest star is Shirley MacLaine." Ernest Betts of The Sunday People said "that long. lanky Yank, Jimmie Stewart, starts a new trend in American pictures with this cheerful chunk of top-grade holiday family entertainment." Josephine O'Neill of The Sun-Herald said that "Fox's candy-coloured comedy about a night mare holiday, spent at a beach-house by a city banker and his family, is happier in its foolery than in its family sentiments. The bird-watching sequence, and the visitation by the Turner couple are both inventive and funny. The situation gags about the plumbing and the beach-blonde, about the TV-dedicated young son and luggage are, however, repeated until their amusement drains off." Colin Bennett of The Age wrote that "this Henry Koster-directed comedy, like nearly every Cinemascope comedy these days, is about half an hour too long and too slack. The expected things happen on the Hobbs's holiday, and the Hobbs's themselves, lack the true lunacy of the old Hollywood screwball family. However, Nunnally Johnson's skillful dialogue sees it through. Containing far more than the average ration of wit, it insures that most of the picture makes good, bright pleasant entertainment."

Voiced retroflex trill

The voiced retroflex trill is not a single consonant quality but a sliding cluster sound within the time of a single segment. It has been reported in Toda and confirmed with laboratory measurements. Peter Ladefoged transcribes it with the IPA symbol that is normally associated with the retroflex flap, ⟨ɽ⟩. Although the tongue starts out in a subapical retroflex position, trilling involves the tip of the tongue and causes it to move forward to the alveolar ridge. Thus, the retroflex trill gives a preceding vowel retroflex coloration, like other retroflex consonants, but the vibration itself is not much different from an alveolar trill. Thus, the narrower transcription ⟨ɽr⟩ is also appropriate.

Wintu and Lardil are other languages with a reported (apico-)retroflex trill where the tongue apex "approaches" the hard palate, but it is not subapical, unlike in Toda. The trill has a retroflex flap allophone that occurs between vowels.

Several languages have been reported to have trilled retroflex affricates such as and, including Mapudungun, Malagasy and Fijian. However, the exact articulation is seldom clear from descriptions.

In Fijian, for example, further investigation has revealed that the sound (written ) is seldom trilled but is usually realized as a postalveolar stop instead. In Mapudungun, the sound (written tr) is strongly retroflex, causing and  following the subsequent vowel to become retroflex as well. The southern dialect varies between and, but it is not clear whether the letter ⟨ɽ⟩ represents a trill or a non-sibilant fricative.

Archibald Clark Kerr, 1st Baron Inverchapel

Archibald Clark Kerr, 1st Baron Inverchapel, (17 March 1882 – 5 July 1951), known as Sir Archibald Clark Kerr between 1935 and 1946, was a British diplomat. He served as Ambassador to the Soviet Union between 1942 and 1946 and to the United States between 1946 and 1948.

Background
An Australian-born Scot, Lord Inverchapel was born Archibald John Kerr Clark, the son of John Kerr Clark (1838–1910), originally from Lanarkshire, Scotland, and Kate Louisa (1846–1926), daughter of Sir John Struan Robertson, five times Premier of the Colony of New South Wales. His family emigrated to England in 1889. In 1911 he assumed the surname of Kerr in addition to that of Clark. He attended Bath College from 1892 to 1900.

Diplomatic career
Kerr entered the Foreign Service in 1906. Early on, he made the mistake of challenging the Foreign Office over its Egyptian policy. Consequently, he found himself posted to a series of capitals in Latin America. He was Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to various Central American republics between 1925 and 1928, to Chile between 1928 and 1930, to Sweden between 1931 and 1934 and to Iraq between 1935 and 1938.

He distinguished himself enough in these posts to secure a prestigious appointment as Ambassador to China between 1938 and 1942 during the Japanese occupation.

In the ensuing years, Inverchapel developed a close relationship with the Nationalist Chinese leader Chiang Kai-Shek and spent most of his posting explaining why Britain could not offer him any substantive aid in his struggle against the Japanese invaders.

He argued for British aid to China based upon humanitarian concerns, the preservation of British economic influence and the principle of national self-determination. Despite the lack of aid from Britain, he impressed the Chinese with his interest in Confucian philosophy and with his determination. After the British consulate in Chungking was almost completely destroyed by Japanese bombing in 1940, other diplomatic missions evacuated, but he kept the Union Jack flying close to Chinese government buildings. He regularly swam in the Yangtze River and, after meeting the American writer Ernest Hemingway, dismissed him derisively: "Tough? Why, I'm tougher than he is!"

He was moved to Moscow in February 1942, where he forged a remarkable relationship with Stalin and facilitated a number of Anglo-Soviet diplomatic conferences. His work there and at the Big Three Conferences (such as Yalta and Potsdam) put him at the centre of international politics during the final pivotal years of the Second World War. Throughout his posting in Moscow, he unsuccessfully sought clearer direction from the Foreign Office in London. He often fell back upon a directive received from Churchill in February 1943: "You want a directive? All right. I don't mind kissing Stalin's bum, but I'm damned if I'll lick his arse!"

As the war neared its end, Kerr became increasingly concerned about Soviet plans for the postwar world. He did not think the Soviets planned to begin spreading world revolution, but feared that they were preparing to exert their power well beyond their prewar sphere of influence. He voiced deep-seated concerns about Soviet expansionism for the first time in a lengthy memorandum on Soviet policy dated 31 August 1944. He then forecast three likely results of the war: the removal of any immediate threat to Soviet security, the consolidation of Stalin's dominant position and the Soviet use of communist parties in other countries to serve the interests of "Russia as a state as distinct from Russia as a revolutionary notion". This closely resembled the conclusions that George F. Kennan included in a telegram to Washington a few months later.

After the war, he was appointed Ambassador to the United States, a post he held until 1948. An acquaintance of Guy Burgess and Donald Duart Maclean's superior in Washington, he took their defection to the Soviet Union badly. The affair also cast a shadow over his career.

He was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG) in the 1935 New Year Honours and a Knight Grand Cross in 1942 and was sworn of the Privy Council in 1944. In 1946 he was elevated to the peerage as Baron Inverchapel, of Loch Eck in the County of Argyll.

From November 1948 to January 1949 he was a member of the British delegation to the Committee for the Study of European Unity, convened by the Brussels Treaty Organisation to draw up the blueprint of the future Council of Europe.

Personal life
Kerr's personal life has been described as colourful. A bisexual, as a young diplomat he lived in Washington with Major Archibald Butt (a military adviser to President Taft), and Butt's partner, the artist Frank Millet. When he returned to the city 35 years later as British ambassador, he raised eyebrows "by going to stay in Eagle Grove, Iowa, with a strapping farm boy whom he had found waiting for a bus in Washington".

While stationed in Moscow, Kerr took a liking in Evgeni [later Eugene ] Yost, a 24-year-old Volga German embassy butler who had got into legal trouble. At Kerr's personal request, Stalin granted him permission to leave the Soviet Union to become Kerr's masseur and valet. Kerr jokingly referred to Yost as "a Russian slave given to me by Stalin".

A close confidant of the Kaiser's sister in the years before the Great War, he was also a disappointed suitor of the Queen Mother before his marriage, divorce and remarriage to a Chilean woman 29 years his junior. Politically on the left, a noted wit and unconventional in manner, he was sometimes suspected of excessive understanding for the Soviet position. His biographer, Donald Gillies, considered the rumoured pro-Soviet sympathies to be highly unlikely.

He is best remembered in the public imagination for a much reproduced note he is said to have written in 1943 to Lord Pembroke while he was Ambassador to Moscow. A copy of the letter was published in The Spectator in 1978 with the comment that "an acquaintance has been delving among the Foreign Office records for the war years".

"My Dear Reggie,

In these dark days man tends to look for little shafts of light that spill from Heaven. My days are probably darker than yours, and I need, my God I do, all the light I can get. But I am a decent fellow, and I do not want to be mean and selfish about what little brightness is shed upon me from time to time. So I propose to share with you a tiny flash that has illuminated my sombre life and tell you that God has given me a new Turkish colleague whose card tells me that he is called Mustapha Kunt.

We all feel like that, Reggie, now and then, especially when Spring is upon us, but few of us would care to put it on our cards. It takes a Turk to do that.

Sir Archibald Clerk Kerr, H.M. Ambassador"

In 1929, he married a woman belonging to the Chilean aristocracy, Doña María Teresa Díaz y Salas, of Santiago, Chile, the daughter of Don Javier Díaz y Lira and Doña Ventura Salas y Edwards. He died in July 1951, aged 69. The barony died with him, as he had no children.
