Shoreline Amphitheatre

Shoreline Amphitheatre is an outdoor amphitheater located in Mountain View, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. The venue has a capacity of 22,500, with 6,500 reserved seats and 16,000 general admission on the lawn. When the parking lot is utilized for festival stages, the total capacity of the venue can reach 30,000. The venue has hosted popular music festivals such as Lollapalooza and Ozzfest, and also developer conferences such as the Google I/O.

History
The amphitheatre was built in 1985–1986 by the city of Mountain View, in cooperation with local promoter Bill Graham, as part of the Shoreline Park project. Graham designed the amphitheatre to resemble The Grateful Dead's "steal your face" logo.

The premiere season was during the summer of 1986, it was planned to open with a concert by The Grateful Dead, who had to cancel as a result of Jerry Garcia's coma. The first performance at the amphitheater was comedienne Roseanne Barr, opening for Julio Iglesias on June 29, 1986.

The amphitheatre hosted the "Bay Area" edition of large hip-hop music festival Rolling Loud from October 21–22, 2017. Headliners included Travis Scott, Lil Wayne, and Schoolboy Q.

The amphitheatre was the site of two homicides. In 2015, a man was fatally shot backstage during a Wiz Khalifa concert. In 2022, a man died as a result of a fistfight involving the Hells Angels during a Chris Stapleton concert.

Overview
Shoreline has long been a well-liked destination for significant music festivals and concert tours, drawing both domestic and foreign performers. It is a popular location for both musicians and spectators due to its vast capacity and cutting-edge facilities. The location of the arena is excellent for concertgoers since it provides enough of parking and is easily accessible from major roads.

Built on a landfill
In its opening year, a fan attending a Steve Winwood concert flicked a cigarette lighter and ignited methane that had been leaking from a landfill beneath the theater. Several small fires were reported that season. After those incidents, the city of Mountain View commissioned methane testing studies to define the location of methane vapors emanating from the soil within the amphitheater. These tests were used in developing a design for improved methane monitoring and more efficient methane extraction to ensure the amphitheater became safe as an outdoor venue. Ultimately, the lawn was removed, a gas barrier and methane removal equipment were installed, and then the lawn was re-installed.

Moving this off the page, obviously a joke:

It is interesting to note that since the conception of the phrase "Go You Big Red Fire-Engine" Donations and worker enlistment into Australian Fire Brigades has gone up in every state each consecutive year since 1999 (to the present-2005). The highest rise being an 8% increase of donations in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT); and a 12% rise of employment in New South Wales (NSW) over the six years.

Davis Polk

Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, commonly known as Davis Polk, is a white-shoe, international law firm headquartered in New York City with offices in Washington, D.C., Palo Alto, London, Madrid, Brussels, Hong Kong, Beijing, Tokyo, and São Paulo. The firm maintains an all-equity partnership, with profits per partner of over $7 million. It is the third most profitable law firm in the world.

History
Davis Polk traces its origin to a one-man practice in Manhattan opened by a 21-year-old lawyer, Francis N. Bangs. The firm changed its name several times to account for new partners, using names such as Bangs & Stetson; Bangs, Stetson, Tracey & MacVeagh,, Stetson, Jennings & Russell, and Davis, Polk, Wardwell, Gardiner & Reed. Towards the end of the 19th century, J. P. Morgan hired Francis Stetson, then name partner of the firm, as his chief counsel. During Stetson's tenure, the firm helped Morgan to restructure the Pennsylvania Railroad as well as create General Electric. The modern incarnations of Morgan's business, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley, have remained key clients of the firm. Among other high-profile lawyers, President Grover Cleveland served as a member of the firm during the interval between his two non-consecutive presidential terms.

In 1971, Lydia Kess was the first woman to be promoted to partner, becoming the second female partner at a major Wall Street law firm.

During the financial crisis of 2007–2008, the firm represented many government clients, including the United States Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and the firm had important roles in the AIG, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, and Citigroup matters, as well as in the drafting of the Dodd–Frank Act.

In 2009, to bolster its financial regulatory practice, the firm hired three former Securities and Exchange Commission officials: Commissioner Annette Nazareth, Director of Enforcement Linda Chatman Thomsen, and Deputy Director of Trading and Markets Robert Colby—as well as former White House Staff Secretary Raul Yanes and former Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation General Counsel John Douglas.

In November 2023, amid a wave of protests calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas War at elite U.S. law schools, Davis Polk & Wardwell was among a group of major law firms who sent a letter to top law school deans warning them that an escalation in incidents targeting Jewish students would have corporate hiring consequences: "We look to you to ensure your students who hope to join our firms after graduation are prepared to be an active part of workplace communities that have zero tolerance policies for any form of discrimination or harassment, much less the kind that has been taking place on some law school campuses."

Race relations
John W. Davis's legal career is most remembered for his final appearance before the Supreme Court, in which he unsuccessfully defended the "separate but equal" doctrine in Briggs v. Elliott, a companion case to Brown v. Board of Education. Davis, as a defender of racial segregation and state control of education, argued that South Carolina had shown good faith in attempting to eliminate any inequality between black and white schools and should be allowed to continue to do so without judicial intervention. He expected to win, most likely through a divided Supreme Court, even after the matter was re-argued after the death of Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson. After the Supreme Court unanimously ruled against his client's position, he returned the $25,000 (equivalent to $0 in ), that he had received from South Carolina, although he was not required to do so, but kept a silver tea service that had been presented to him. It has also been reported that he never charged South Carolina in the first place. He declined to participate further in the case, as he did not wish to be involved in the drafting of decrees to implement the Court's decision.

In Guinn v. United States, as Solicitor General, while he argued against the legality of the "grandfather clause", he conceded the legality of the literacy tests, which was used to disenfranchise African Americans and others.

Recognitions
In March 2007, Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) awarded Davis Polk its Heroes Honors 25th Anniversary Award for the corporate pro bono work the firm has done on the organization's behalf. In October 2008, a Davis Polk team working with the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund won a $4.6 million judgment on behalf of immigrant workers who were being paid below the statutory minimum wage by their employer, a popular Manhattan restaurant.

In 2010, Davis Polk was ranked third in Revenue per Lawyer by the American Lawyer's top 100 National Firms. In 2012 and 2013, Davis Polk was named America's Law Firm of the Year by the International Financial Law Review.

The firm placed 15th on The American Lawyer's 2021 AmLaw 200 ranking, and, on the 2021 Global 200 survey, Davis Polk ranked as the 20th highest grossing law firm in the world.

All I Have (album)

All I Have is the debut studio album by American R&B recording artist Amerie. It was released on July 30, 2002, through Columbia Records, Rise Entertainment and Richcraft Records. Entirely produced by Rich Harrison, the album debuted and peaked at number nine on the US Billboard 200 chart in August 2002, remaining in the top twenty for two weeks only and dropping off the top hundred in its fourteenth week. It also received generally mixed reviews from the music critics. Nevertheless, the album was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling over 500,000 copies on October 3, 2003, and won Amerie a Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist in 2003. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the album has sold over 661,000 copies in the United States as of July 2009. All I Have produced two singles: "Why Don't We Fall in Love" (which peaked at number 23 on the US Billboard Hot 100) and a minor hit "Talkin' to Me" (which also entered the US charts at number 51 on the US Billboard Hot 100).

Background
While studying at Georgetown, Amerie befriended a Washington, D.C., club promoter who put her in touch with producer Rich Harrison. During an interview with Maxim, Amerie said she met up with Harrison at a McDonald's parking lot, and performed a song for him in her car. Rich Harrison—who had just worked on Mary J. Blige's albums Mary and No More Drama—began developing demos with Amerie. This led to her first record deal with Harrison's Richcraft Entertainment, in collaboration with Columbia Records. According to Amerie, she and Harrison immediately hit it off. In a 2002 interview, she commented "For some reason we had a very special chemistry. When we would work together something great would happen."

Amerie recorded the chorus for the 2001 single "Rule", performed by Nas. The single peaked at number 67 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart in the United States. She also recorded a song with Detroit rapper Royce da 5'9", titled "Life", the third and final single from his Rock City (Version 2.0) album.

Release and promotion
All I Have was first released in United States, for CD and vinyl LP, on July 30, 2002, through Columbia Records, Rise Entertainment and Richcraft Records. It was released on August 5, 2002, in Europe through Sony Music Entertainment. It was also released in Japan, on November 20, 2002, through Sony Music Entertainment Japan.

In April 2002, Amerie's debut single, "Why Don't We Fall in Love", was released, peaking at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming a top ten hit on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Dance Club Play charts. The song was an urban top twenty hit in Australia and reached the top 40 in the United Kingdom. To promote the album, Amerie went on tour with Usher and Nas, traveling on Usher's Evolution 8701 Tour in 2002. Amerie also promoted the album by touring with rapper Nelly, performing on twelve of his concert dates. The second and final single from All I Have was "Talkin' to Me", a top twenty entry on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, although it peaked outside the top forty on the Billboard Hot 100.

Critical reception
All I Have received generally mixed reviews from music critics. William Ruhlmann of AllMusic gave the album the grade of two and a half out of five stars, stating: "The debut album by 22-year-old Amerie is basically a showcase for writer/producer Rich Harrison, who constructs a series of mid-tempo rhythm tracks and writes lyrics of romantic longing. Harrison's lack of originality is suggested by his inability even to come up with new song titles. Among the tracks here are newly written songs entitled "Need You Tonight" "Got to Be There" and even "I Just Died" (that's right, "in your arms"). Amerie has a pleasant-enough voice that she uses to express a tempered fervor and a degree of eroticism, but she seems to be just another modestly talented performer chosen mostly for her looks; record companies seem to be on an endless search for attractive young women of mixed racial heritage (apparently in hopes of demographic crossover) who can carry a tune, and this willing Georgetown graduate with a Korean mother and African-American father is just the latest in a long line. None of which is to say that she won't succeed (record companies make a lot of money taking such bets), but at least on the basis of her debut album, Amerie has nothing to recommend her beyond a fairly anonymous surface appeal."

Vanessa E. Jones of The Boston Globe gave a mixed review, stating: Amerie's almond eyes come courtesy of her Korean mother, while her caramel skin was inherited from her African-American dad. On her debut CD, All I Have, she proves that the melange makes a soulful combination. If there was a representative sound of the summer this year, it should have been the singer's shimmering single, "Why Don't We Fall in Love". With jazzy horns and romantic strings caressed by Amerie's strong, yearning alto, the song brought to mind beach holidays and summer fun every time it came on the air. Amerie follows up that effort with a 12-song CD with several distinctive cuts. It would be a great debut if it weren't for all the filler, and for lyrics (written by the CD's producer Rich Harrison) that revolve around the tired subjects of love, betrayal, and hate. When Amerie fails to follow her instincts, the results can be disastrous. "Float", for instance, finds her relying on histrionic yelling rather than crooning. But this is definitely a talent to watch, as the songs "Can't Let Go", "Talkin' to Me", "Got to Be There" and "Why Don't We Fall in Love" show."

Sarah Rodman of Boston Herald gave the album positive review with the grade of three out of four stars, stating: "This 22-year-old Georgetown grad may be blessed with a lovely, flinty voice and great looks, but even she must have been shocked when her debut album, All I Have, made a Top 5 debut in Billboard. Amerie's music is two parts intriguing (a strong yet sultry R&B growl matched with the off-kilter hip-hop grooves of producer Rich Harrison) and one part run-of-the-mill (banal romance lyrics). There are tunes about Mr. Right, Mr. Right Now and Mr. Wrong. Amerie scores extra points for keeping things short, sweet and free from gratuitous vocal acrobatics. She stands out from the female R&B pack without resorting to affectation or gimmickry." Steve Jones of USA Today gave the album two and a half out of four stars, stating: "On her strings-laced hit single, "Why Don't We Fall in Love", 22-year-old Amerie shows a talent for subtlety and nuance not often heard from a debut singer. The sultry vocalist lets the intensity build rather than relying on over-the-top flourishes. She shows her versatility with the jazzy "Nothing Like Loving You", the edgy "I Just Died" and the infectious "Talkin' to Me". While the material is not consistently strong, it serves as a nice introduction to a singer with great potential for growth."

Felicia Pride from PopMatters gave a mixed review, stating: "Even with all her charming characteristics, the brains, the voice and the looks, her debut is, well, boring... The tracks run into each other to the point that they become one very long song... The songs that really carry the album are "I Just Died" and "Show Me". Both are quiet storm ballads in which her vocals are richer, not as forced (quieter) and dance hand-in-hand with sexy hooks that allow the track to take the lead... The ingredients are there, she just needs to perfect the mix."

Commercial performance
The album debuted and peaked at number nine on the US Billboard 200 chart in August 2002, remaining in the top 20 for two weeks only and dropping off the chart in its fourteenth week. The album was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on October 3, 2003, and earned Amerie a Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist in 2003. According to Nielsen SoundScan, as of July 2009, the album has sold 661,000 copies in the United States. It peaked at number one on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart by Billboard. It was also minor success in Japan, peaking at number 181 on the Oricon albums chart.

Camo dudes
Arcane slang not in general use; poorly written article. Paul Klenk 07:22, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

 * For your consideration: Camo dudes
 * Google search of "camo dude" + "area 51" yields less than ten unique sites, mostly talk forums, and none of note. This indicates a use of this term that is truly arcane – hardly wide enough to merit an article.  It's singularly uncommon slang, nothing more.
 * The only other link to the page is at (Area 51), added by the creator of the article himself.
 * Article is short due to granularity of its subject.
 * Poorly written: incorrect capitalization ("Perimeter" as a proper noun), improperly titled (plural rather than singular); and with misspellings (including the term "cammo" itself). It appears the writer doesn't even know how to spell his own word.
 * Statements range from the unsubstantiated ("Some observers have been detained on public land for pointing camera equipment at the base.") to the trifling ("some of these vehicles have been seen equipped with red and blue pursuit lighting").
 * The photo is captioned: "In the full version of this picture (q.v.), a "Camo Dudes" vehicle can be seen on the top of the hill", but it reveals only an unexceptional car, without pursuit lights – and no camo dudes.
 * The sign in the photo reads "Nellis Bombing and Gunnery Range", which is adjacent to, but not part of, Area 51.
 * In summary, it smacks of Area 51 chat room ephemera, and, in my opinion, is a first-rate candidate for deletion. Take a good, hard look at it.  Anyone care to disagree?

 * Delete – Agree with nominator's argument.   — Kjammer  ⌂  07:52, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as unnecessary. There's substantial discussion of them on the Area 51 page, with plentiful external links to even more discussion of them. And anyway, every source I've seen spells it "cammo" --LemonAndLime 08:19, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Just to make myself clear, I'm sure that "cammo dudes" definitely exist, I just don't think they warrant a wikipedia entry on their own --LemonAndLime 10:23, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per everybody. Marskell 10:39, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Whitney's first album came out in 1985, not 1986

George Benson????
Why is this not an article about George Benson's original? (as it was released as a single). Even if they do have trivially different titles (removing/adding of 'the'), there would still be no need for a separate article. Does anyone else think this article needs to say a bit more about the original recording?Valerieg 01:13, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Whitney Houston- Greatest Love of All.jpg

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Trivial releases
added a 2-song release from Old Gold, a record label in Essex UK, and he added a 4-song release from Royalsound record label in Thailand. On these releases, according to www.45cat.com, the Benson tune is combined with hits from other artists. I would argue that these retread releases are trivial, that they should be removed as unimportant to the topic. Furthermore, 45cat is not reliable, because they allow users to change website content.

Falconeria

Falconeria is a monotypic plant genus in the family Euphorbiaceae, first described as a genus in 1839. The genus is sometimes included within the genus Sapium. The sole species is Falconeria insignis. The plant is found from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka to Indochina, China (Hainan, Sichuan, Yunnan), Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia.

The same genus name, Falconeria, was applied in 1883 to another plant in the Plantaginaceae. Thus was created an illegitimate homonym, unacceptable under the rules of nomenclature. The only species name ever created in this homonymic genus was Falconeria himalaica Hook.f., now renamed Wulfenia himalaica (Hook.f.) Pennell.

Joko Anwar

Joko Anwar (born 3 January 1976) is an Indonesian film director, producer, screenwriter, and actor. Prior to becoming a filmmaker, he worked as a journalist and film critic.

Anwar first rose to prominence for co-writing Nia Dinata's 2003 hit Arisan! which won five awards at the 2004 Citra Award. He then made his feature film directorial debut with the romantic comedy Joni's Promise in 2005, gaining a Best Director nomination at the 2005 Citra Award. He has since directed a wide range of genres: the noir thriller Dead Time: Kala (2007), psychological thriller The Forbidden Door (2009), supernatural horror Satan's Slaves (2017) and its sequel Satan's Slaves 2: Communion (2022), and live-action superhero Gundala (2019). In 2024, Anwar's anthology series Joko Anwar's Nightmares and Daydreams was released on Netflix.

Anwar has won 3 Citra Awards out of 13 nominations for directing and screenwriting. He won the Best Director Awards twice: in 2015 for the urban drama A Copy of My Mind and in 2020 for the folk horror Impetigore as well as the Best Screenplay Award in 2008 for co-writing Mouly Surya's Fiksi.. He has also been nominated for a total of 7 Maya Awards, winning Best Director for Satan's Slaves in 2017. As of 2022, Anwar has two films in the top 10 list of highest-grossing Indonesian films of all-time: Satan's Slaves 2: Communion at No. 3 with 6.39 million admissions and Satan's Slaves at No. 9 with 4.2 million admissions.

As an actor, Anwar has appeared in multiple films, including starring roles in Edwin's award-winning feature film debut Blind Pig Who Wants to Fly opposite Ladya Cheryl.

In 2019, Indonesia Tatler included Anwar in its list of the most influential film directors in modern Indonesian cinema.

Early life
Anwar was born in Medan, North Sumatra where he grew up watching kung fu and horror films. He went to SMA Negeri 1 Medan, a public school, and spent a year in the United States as an exchange student at the Wheeling Park High School in West Virginia. He wrote and directed plays as a student. While he wanted to study filmmaking, he went to enroll at the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) to study Aeronautical Engineering because his family could not afford to send him to a film school. After graduating in 1999, he became a journalist and film critic at The Jakarta Post.

Anwar's first film production experience came as an assistant director in Sekar Ayu Asmara's directorial debut Biola Tak Berdawai in 2002.

2003–2008: Arisan!, directorial debut, and mainstream success
During an interview with Nia Dinata, who was gaining praise for her 2002 release Ca-bau-kan, for The Jakarta Post, Anwar impressed the filmmaker who in turn asked him to join a project she was working on. The two co-wrote the screenplay for what would be Dinata's biggest hit to date Arisan! released in 2003. The film won rave reviews and snatched multiple Best Film awards at the 2004 Citra Award, the 2004 MTV Indonesia Movie Awards, and the 2004 Bandung Film Festival. Dinata and Anwar also won praise for their screenplay, receiving a Citra Award nomination for Best Screenplay.

In 2005, Anwar made his directorial debut with the romantic comedy Joni's Promise (Janji Joni) with a star-studded cast that includes Nicholas Saputra, Mariana Renata, Rachel Maryam, Surya Saputra, and dozens of celebrity cameos, including Nia Dinata, based on a story he first wrote in 1998. The film propelled Anwar to mainstream success as it became a box office hit and earned 9 nominations at the 2005 Citra Award, including Best Film and Best Director for Anwar, losing to the biographical drama Gie and Hanung Bramantyo (Brownies) respectively. The film was credited with reviving the career of Barry Prima, an international martial artist and actor, who is Anwar's childhood hero.

In 2007, Joko Anwar wrote and directed Dead Time: Kala, Indonesia's first film noir feature film. It won rave reviews from critics with Sight & Sound picking it as one of the year's best while naming Anwar as one of the smartest filmmakers in Asia. The film was screened at numerous film festivals and won a Jury Prize at the 2007 New York Asian Film Festival. The Hollywood Reporter praised the film as "a sophisticated noir whodunit in homage to Fritz Lang's M". In the same year, Anwar wrote the screenplay for two other major releases: Dimas Djayadiningrat's sex comedy Quickie Express and an adaptation of Moammar Emka's best-selling novel, Jakarta Undercover. The former won Best Film at the 2008 Jakarta International Film Festival.

In 2008, Anwar co-wrote the screenplay for psychological thriller fiksi., Mouly Surya's directorial debut. The film was a huge hit and received universal acclaim. At the 2008 Citra Award, it received 10 nominations and won 4, including Best Screenplay, giving Anwar his first Citra Award.

2009–2016: International recognition and Citra Award for Best Director
Anwar explored the psychological thriller genre in his next film, The Forbidden Door (Pintu Terlarang), which was released in 2009. Starring Fachri Albar and Marsha Timothy as a married couple with dark secrets, the film gained notable recognition from the international film community. TIME magazine film critic Richard Corliss wrote that the film could be "Anwar's calling card for international employment, if only Hollywood moguls wanted something out of their own narrow range" and that it is "an example of what movies could be but rarely dare to try". Maggie Lee of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that it "would make [Alfred] Hitchcock and [Pedro] Almodóvar proud" while praising Anwar for "[accessorizing] his creepy suspense-horror with a dazzling array of auteur-homage". The film was screened at several international film festivals, including The Times BFI London Film Festival, the International Film Festival Rotterdam, and the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, where it won the Best of Bucheon award. In the same year, he also played a minor role in Macabre, Timo Tjahjanto's and Kimo Stamboel's breakout slasher hit. In 2013, he appeared as a shady film producer in Sammaria Simanjuntak's satirical comedy Demi Ucok.

Anwar's next release was the horror-thriller Modus Anomali, which premiered in Indonesia in April 2012. Anwar cast rising star Rio Dewanto in the lead role as a man who must rescue his family from a killer who is hunting them. The film was screened at the South by Southwest where it received generally positive reviews including from Richard Kuipers of Variety who called it a "brainteaser" and that "this extreme arthouse entry will leave a lasting impression on many auds". It received theatrical release in France and was retitled as Ritual for its North American release.

In 2015, Anwar released his fifth feature film the urban drama A Copy of My Mind with Chicco Jerikho and Tara Basro in the lead roles. Shot only in 8 days, the film was the only film from Southeast Asia to be screened at the 2015 Venice Film Festival. At the 2015 Citra Award, the film was nominated for 7 awards, including Best Film with Anwar winning Best Director for the first time and Basro winning Best Actress in addition to another win for sound mixing.

2017–2019: Satan's Slaves, Gundala, Impetigore, and second Citra Award for Best Director
In his first supernatural horror effort, Anwar released his sixth feature film Satan's Slaves (Pengabdi Setan) in 2017. A loose remake of the 1980 cult classic of the same name, Satan's Slaves is the highest-grossing Indonesian film of 2017 as well as the highest-grossing horror film of all time in the country with 4.2 million admissions. It also fared well in other territories, including becoming the highest-grossing Indonesian film ever to be released in Malaysia. At the 37th Citra Awards, the film won 7 out of its 13 nominations. At the second Overlook Film Festival, the film won the Feature Film Jury Prize. Anwar also co-wrote the screenplay for Stip & Pensil with Ernest Prakasa and Bene Dion Rajagukguk, for which they were nominated at the 2017 Citra Awards for Best Original Screenplay.

In addition to Satan's Slaves, Anwar appeared in small acting roles in seven films between 2017 and 2018. This includes Galih & Ratna, My Generation, The Underdogs, Daysleepers, 27 Steps of May, and Ave Maryam, and the Malaysian crime thriller Fly by Night.

In 2018, it was announced that Anwar would helm the live-action adaptation of comic book superhero character Gundala. The film was released domestically in August 2019, launching the first phase of a superhero film series that will make up the BumiLangit Cinematic Universe along with other popular Indonesian comic book superhero characters. Internationally, it premiered at the Midnight Madness section of the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival. At the 2019 Citra Award, Gundala received 9 nominations and won 3 for cinematography, sound mixing, and visual effects. Earlier in January 2019, the comedy drama Orang Kaya Baru was released. Anwar wrote the screenplay for the film and received another Citra Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay.

In October 2019, Anwar released the folk horror Impetigore (Perempuan Tanah Jahanam) as his eighth feature film, becoming a critical and commercial success. At the 2020 Citra Award, Anwar won his second Citra Award for Best Director as well as a nomination in the Best Original Screenplay category. He also received another nomination in the Best Adapted Screenplay category for writing Kimo Stamboel's remake of Indonesian horror classic The Queen of Black Magic. Impetigore 's 17 nominations broke the record for most nominations received by a film which was previously held by Mouly Surya's Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts with 14 nominations in 2018. Internationally, it premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival to generally positive reviews. Josh Hurtado of Screen Anarchy praises Anwar for continuing "to carve out a niche for himself as one of the world's leading genre auteurs, going from strength to strength, he's got an incredibly impressive body of work already, and seems to only get better as he becomes more ambitious." In November 2020, Impetigore was announced as Indonesia's official submission for the 2021 Academy Awards.

2020–present: Bumilangit Cinematic Universe and Satan's Slaves: Communion
Shortly after the release of Gundala, Anwar was announced as the executive producer to oversee the production of several films included in the planned Volume 1 of Bumilangit Cinematic Universe superhero franchise. The first of these films to follow Gundala will be the Upi Avianto-directed Sri Asih and Ody C. Harahap's Patriot Taruna: Virgo and the Sparklings which were originally slated for a 2020 release but were pushed back to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 8 films are planned for the Volume 1 series, all of which will receive treatment from Anwar as the creative producer.

In July 2020, Anwar teased his next project on Instagram by posting a collage of all his previous eight films with a ninth picture presumed to be hinting at his ninth feature, writing "My 9th movie. It's on. After 9 movies, probably a good time to start fresh." In June 2022, Anwar released the trailer for his upcoming feature Satan's Slaves 2: Communion, a sequel to 2017's Satan's Slaves. In April 2022, Anwar was announced to be directing an adaptation of Charles Beaumont's short story Fritzchen with a screenplay by Michael Voyer.

In August 2022, Satan's Slaves 2: Communion was released, surpassing one million admissions after only two days in theatre. It is currently the third highest-grossing Indonesian film of all time, with 6.3 million admissions. In September, Netflix announced that they were working on 7 original productions with Indonesian filmmakers, including Anwar who will helm a science-fiction thriller 7-episode limited series titled Nightmares and Daydreams. Frequent collaborators Ario Bayu and Marissa Anita are set to star in the series alongside Ruth Marini and Putri Ayudya. The following November, Sri Asih was released in theatre as the second entry to the Bumilangit Cinematic Universe, which Anwar wrote and produced.

In 2024, Joko Anwar's Nightmares and Daydreams, a seven-episode anthology series created by Anwar, was released on Netflix. The series combines elements of science fiction and horror, with all episodes set in Jakarta during various time periods.

Personal life
Anwar actively interacts with his fans on social media, especially Twitter. In September 2009, he posted on his Twitter account that he would go into a convenience store fully naked if he gained 3,000 followers within the day. He ended up gaining over 13 thousand followers and fulfilled the promise, causing minor controversies. As of January 2021, he has 1.7 million followers on Twitter.

Frequent collaborators
Anwar has worked with several actors and actresses in multiple films, most notably is Arswendy Bening Swara who appeared in six films and Tara Basro who appeared in five of his films as lead consecutively between A Copy of My Mind in 2015 and Satan's Slaves 2: Communion in 2022.

A steel toes source
http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/EHSRM/EHS/PPE/footwear.html

This has some good info (although might need to dig deeper to find their sources,) about steel toes and legal jargon with respect to steel-toe requirements by employers.

A little help on the "steel toe boots" article
In my experience as a wearer of military boots, the portuguese air force issued steel toe jump boots to paratroopers. There were serious problems with those boots (that are similar to the US WWII jump boots) such as ropes that got entangled in the hooks and cuts in the feet caused by the steel toes. Later, they were replaced by boots with leather-reinforced toe boots with thicker soles and better stitching then the bates enforcer paratrooper boots series 11. As far as i know, the infantry boots are still steel-toed. If you'd like, i can send you some pictures of my portuguese jump boots (they're a little worn). Any questions to: (address removed)
 * WP:BOLD! Feel free to add that yourself, if you'd like.  However, for it to last, we'd need to be able to find some source somewhere to cite.  Is there a news release somewhere that would have this information?  Do you have the manufacturer? --Mdwyer 20:36, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Those tags may have been a bit excessive, sorry. However, at this rate, we'll have a list of menu changes that keeps growing and growing. I figure it's either cite each of the changes, or just remove that stuff from the list. Otherwise the article becomes more of a news blog about the menu than an encyclopedic entry.

You're right, that URL probably won't stay put for long. Plus, it's a primary source, which is less preferable than a news article. I just don't think the menu changes are notable enough to be included in the article. -- Kesh 02:35, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Blocking User_talk:Doctorlove08
Thank you for your quick work with this block. I enjoy fighting vandalism around wikipedia, and yet this is the first time I'd used a request for adminship to block an account. I was a little stunned at how quick and decisive it was. I was a little suprised you used an indefinate block instead of a 24h block. It is true that the account has so far only been used for vandalism, and I'm pretty sure it would never be used for anything good, but I'm trying to assume eventual good faith.

Anyway, I wanted to check with you to make sure I did the right thing. Did I misrepresent the user's edits, or is it common to block them after only four edits? --Mdwyer 20:30, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

 * It depends upon circumstances - taking a look at the edits, you can see that they are not accidental vandalisms, so the probability increases that it is a vandal-only account. Indefinite means that the block can be repealed upon a successful review, if the editor decides to appeal. Regards, (aeropagitica) 22:05, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I guess I have hopes that, with sufficient drugs and electro convulsive therapy, any vandal can become a good user... but maybe I'm being stupidly optimistic. :) In any case, thank you again!  --Mdwyer 01:29, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

RE:Your edit to Talk:Slurpee
Sorry, I thought User:67.175.138.202 started the discussion (I failed the see the rest of it as I was using WP Pop-Ups). I believe WP:NOT states that Wikipedia is not a discussion forum, WP:NOT. The whole conversation is not really questioning the article, or providing any critical commentary, so it should likely be removed ;)⋅ --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  20:57, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I thought the original request was pretty snarky anyway. "I'm waiting..."   As stupid as it is, the information gleaned from this conversations could be put into the Culteral references section of the article.  Still, I wouldn't shed any tears if it went away.
 * What is the thinking on cleaning up talk pages? I'd love to wipe out some silly things on other pages, but I'm under the impressing that removing content from talk pages is frowned upon, especially if they are recurring themes. --Mdwyer 21:15, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

OK so why not transfer it to the Vermicompost article instead of just deleting the link altogether ? 213.122.8.1 16:17, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Because I personally didn't think it belonged there, either. I think it doesn't fit the criteria of WP:EL. --Mdwyer 00:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, you may well be correct but do you think you might be just a bit more constructive - even helpful. In what way do you personally think that it doesn't fit the criteria of WP:EL ? 81.131.17.57 19:34, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure! I'm assuming we're talking about the UrbanHarvest.org about Vermicomposting?  The nutshell guideline says Adding external links can be a service to our readers, but they should be kept to a minimum of those that are meritable, accessible and appropriate to the article.  I removed the link from Composting because the article was about Vermicomposting, while the article was about Composting.  Since Vermicomposting has its own Wikipedia article, the link was not appropriate.
 * As for the adding the link to Vermicomposting, the rule is to avoid Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article. Or in other words, the content on that page was very good, but that content should be contained within Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not intended to be a directory of links.  External links are to be used as little as possible.  The Right Thing to do is to bring that information into wikipedia.  Of course, one cannot simply copy the text over, because that would violate Joyce Brau's copyright on the material.
 * Finally, although I don't think it applies in this case, I also use the guidelines at WP:SPAM.
 * Would you consider getting a permanent account with Wikipedia and expanding the existing Vermicomposting article as needed? An account isn't required, of course, but it does provide a fixed identity, which comes in handy at the very least during discussions like these.  --Mdwyer 06:55, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

As a casual user of Wikipedia and a very occasional contributor, I am not sure that registering would serve any real purpose in my case but I do accept your point about discussions. To the point in question, I must admit that I was not aware that the Vermicompost article even existed at the time the external link was added but, in my defence (UK user), I did add the wikilink once I realised my mistake. So, I do accept that the placing was inappropriate. I regret I don't really feel qualified to successfully bring the material into the article in the way you suggest so I'll just have to let things stay. I have, however, placed the link in the External Links section of the Vermicompost article but if you still have your reservations then please feel free to delete it again from there.

Many thanks for explaining your position. 81.131.57.169 02:38, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I think the link will have to do until someone does the work.
 * I have to apologize, though: I removed another link from Composting, for much the same reason as yours — there's already a link to Humanure and the external link already exists on that page. After I did the edit, though, I checked on who made the edit and it appears it was your edit!
 * I'm sorry! I assure you I'm not out to get you! I just happen to keep an eye on the Composting page (among others). --Mdwyer 04:49, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Removing stale warnings
Hi Mdwyer, it's usually a good idea to leave at least one or two months worth of warnings instead of removing all of them as you did here, so as to justify to new editors why their shared IP has been blocked in the first place. Thanks. --  Netsnipe  ►  05:08, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

 * The WP:UW stuff says that the warnings should be removed in favor of only the block message. Did I understand that correctly? --Mdwyer 05:09, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

"Messages should be removed without archival after three months or less, depending on the number of warnings. In the case of registered vandals, archiving is up to them so long as recent warnings aren't removed." --  Netsnipe  ►  05:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

 * "Talk pages of indefinitely blocked users should be cleared of all content except the block notice. This block notice should explain the block reason, or link to the block log which does so." --Mdwyer 05:13, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Food Photos
Hi! I was just wondering what I should put if I have a photo of food that I want to upload that isn't my work. Since, most pictures of food on Wikipedia were created by the uploader I don't know what to put. I do have permission to use the image.--Sportman2 22:32, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Sadly, the copyright rules aren't very forgiving. The reason most photo uploads are the work of the uploader is because they are usually the only person who can fully release the rights to the photo.  Putting a photo up on Wikipedia requires VERY liberal licensing. You say that you do have permission to use the photo.  Unfortunatly, Wikipedia demands a bit more than that.  The creator has to release the image under a Creative Commons or other open license. I'm, personally, not too familiar with it.  You might Start Here or ask around at Wikipedia Help Desk.  Sorry! --Mdwyer 04:30, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Anyway, I didn't revert it cause I figured it would look better if you did it yourself. NipokNek 17:45, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Sheilding
Hi.. its Mr. Anony Mous. i checked out that article and the one on electromagnetic sheilding. both explain how they the cage sheilds from static and radio waves, and it says stuff about the cage holes have to be smaller than the wavelenght being sheilded. obviously a mesh cant sheild from light because light has a very short wavelength. but it still doesnt explain why saltwater (no holes at all. well actually, the distance between the atoms.. but thats way smaller than the wavelenths of light).. so why doesnt sheilding occur? any other ideas..? 209.53.181.69 23:20, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Vandal
A user with the ip address 67.175.157.96 has committed numerous acts of vandalism. His most recent accussed a prominent historian of plagiarism when there is no evidence of this. You have in the past threatned to block this user (and he or she has been threatned by another). I would suggest that you block this user.
 * First of all, I'm not an admin. I cannot block users.  I can only request that users be blocked (you can, too! WP:AIV).  If I made a request today, the admins would reject it -- there's not enough current evidence of vandalism from this IP.  Right now, all we can do is document the vandalism; I've attached user warnings to the talk page.  If they do one more this month, they'll probably get blocked, but only temporarily.  Unfortunatly, someone from that IP address is also providing good edits, too.
 * In any case, thanks for the heads-up. I'll try to keep an eye on them.  --Mdwyer 16:57, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Link on Medulloblastoma Page
Why did you remove this link from the medulloblastoma page without even bothering to offer an explanation? It does not represent spam by any stretch of the imagination.

That page contains an article written by Dr. Packer of Children's National Medical Center in DC, followed by a list of clinical trials. Dr. Packer is one of the world's foremost experts on medulloblastoma, the standard treatment for medulloblastoma is called the "Packer protocol", see here and PMID 11305414 (reference to Packer Protocol in article on adult medullo).

Webwench 23:28, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I switched it to a citation. I've been trying to improve that article and sometimes I will place a link as more or less a placeholder until I am able to cite it.

That article is most definitely a work in progress. My son has a variant of medulloblastoma and I've learned much. The previous article was full of uncited factual inaccuracies. I'm working on trying to fix that. Webwench 16:35, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:UW future?
Hi Mdwyer,

Sorry for the blatant spam, but you have yourself down as interested at WikiProject user warnings WP:UW. There is a discussion on going here that might be of interest to you about the future of this project. There are two strawpolls on the talk pages and the second one is about the future of the WP:UW project. Now we have the end in sight we are looking at wrapping up the project and merging it with Template messages/User talk namespace WP:UTM and creating a one stop shop for all userspace templates. As you have yourself down as interested in this project we thought you may have some input on this issue, and would like you to visit the discussion and give any thoughts you may have on the matter. Cheers Khu  kri  10:30, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

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

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Baked beans
I saw your edit summary and was intrigued. I've blocked the vandal IP for a week for persistent recent vandalism.

Meanwhile, I can see you're a well-established Wikipedian, so I hope you won't be put out by some advice that you may have heard before.

 * Please do leave warning messages on the talk pages of vandals when you revert their efforts. It really helps others when they assess for blocks etc.
 * Your edit summary was useful for me, in that it alerted me to the issue, but some vandals revel in such attention. See WP:TROLL. Oh and WP:BEANS! A cooler, more detached response denies them the fuel for their fire and makes their efforts pointless (that's the theory anyway).

Anyway, thanks for wearing a white hat. Glad you're on our side. --Dweller 20:57, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Mesothelioma Research Foundation of America
I've despammed this article and removed the db-spam tag (the text was also copyright originally). However, your talk page comments gave me some concern. Could you have a look, and if there are concerns with the current text, or the notability of this organisation please let me know, and if necessary I'll delete it. It doesn't seem to have as many Google hits as I would expect, only 2000 odd, but it's not an area where I have any expertise. Thanks, Jimfbleak 12:29, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I wouldn't worry too much about the conflict of interest, it's more of a problem when people are pushing their own organisations. AfD may be worth a try, on the grounds of notability, but, as you point out, the MARF article is now very similar. Can you beef up the MARF article with more independent evidence of notability? That would then help if the other one went to AfD. Jimfbleak 06:52, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

There are five fingers on the human hand [citation needed]
I love that quote!

But then I have to ask myself: Is that actually correct? Without a cite, I'm left wondering. Lots of people have less than five fingers and it's very rare to have more - so it might be more correct to state that "Five is an above-average number of fingers to have on a human hand."...but that would be OR and cause for a citation needed tag! :-)

Dizzyfixer
Hi - I recently put up some really good links to something called the dizzyfix, it had video and a test I took, I thought this was OK to do since we're not supposed to reproduce copyrighted material? You took them down. I later read on the history page that it seems I have not been the first to put this device up. I actually "talked" to the author of the referenced paper to get his/her opinion. He/she suggested I talk to you to sort it out. In reviewing the history/discussion of the subject YOU had suggested that the dizzyfix go in the external links tab so I don't really see why you took that down. I put it a couple of other places too like on the balance problem page and something called the DixHallpike test(how they diagnose bppv), but I found them gone as well. As someone who has struggled with BPPV I was grateful to be in Canada where this thing was first available, it helps a person to do the treatment motions right at home. I thought others would be interested too. If for some reason I can't put up the links to the videos (which are interesting by the way) why don't we do either one of two things. 1) put it in line "home devices like the dizzyfix" with no hyper link or 2) put it in the external links section. I think the job of an encyclopedia should be to help people like me find the medical answers they need. In addition I found at the bottom of the discussion page that the author mabromwich "talked" to cliffc about the links and they seemed to come to some agreement. I am one of those people who would like to see it up. Comments welcome.Mmargerisson 02:06, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I was hoping for a response from you (Mdwyer). I would like to put it back up in the external links section for others to see and use.  There are, I see, good references available for the technique of this kind of home treatment.Mmargerisson (talk) 02:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Your actions appeared to me to be promoting the DizzyFix device and the DizzyFix website, in contravention of WP:SPAM. Putting the link inside the body of the article is in contravention of WP:EL.   I actually agree with you that it should be mentioned in some way. I had a very brief but terrifying bout of BPPV, myself, and was very happy to have a Wikipedia page to explain it to me. It does appear that DizzyFix is a legitamate and effective treatment. It probably does have a place in the article.
 * That said, I'm dedicated to making sure that Wikipedia is not damaged by commercial interests. That doesn't mean that DizzyFix cannot be added -- it just means that it needs to be added in such a way that respects the rules of Wikipedia.
 * For an example, take a look at how we handled Paul Kraus. It originally started as an external link to Mesothelioma.  I still feel to this day that the information exists strictly to sell Paul's books.  However, we were able to work around that, and in the process add content to Wikipedia. Adding verified content to Wikipedia is always good.  Adding external links is almost always not.
 * Along those lines, do you own one of the devices? Could you take a picture of one?  With freely-licensed pictures and other content, I see the possibility of a being able to create a DizzyFix page within Wikipedia.  We'll have to be careful, though:  the whimsical name will attract other editors eager to mark it for deletion.  Such is the day-to-day fight on Wikipedia... --Mdwyer (talk) 01:32, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comments. It seems reasonable to add a link from the BPPV page either directly to the dizzyfix site or to a page within Wikipedia that we make.  I, like you, have had some scary times with BPPV so this device was such a relief.  I have had a device for about 3 weeks now.  I sure can take a picture of it.  I might just ask the guy I "talked" to who did some research on it, maybe he has a better photo we can use, I only have an older generation digital camera.  I'll ask him and get back to you.  How should we start the page?  I've not done that before.  Do you want me to write something up? Mmargerisson (talk) 04:39, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

 * OK so I figured out how to add a page. Look for it in the next couple of days.  Your input on how to navigate the rules would be appreciated.Mmargerisson (talk) 02:43, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Little Cacapon, West Virginia

Little Cacapon is an unincorporated community in Hampshire County in the U.S. state of West Virginia. Little Cacapon is located at the mouth of the Little Cacapon River on the Potomac, east of Okonoko. Okonoko-Little Cacapon Road (West Virginia Secondary Route 2/7) and Spring Gap-Neals Run Road (West Virginia Secondary Route 2) converge south of Little Cacapon. Because of its key location at the mouth of the Little Cacapon and on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Little Cacapon played important roles in both the French and Indian and American Civil Wars. Generally pronounced. Sometimes, despite the current spelling of the word (derived from local Native American for "medicine water") some locals say.

Fort Cox
On April 4, 1765, a settler by the name of Balzar Stoker received a land grant of 232 acres (940,000 m²) from Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron along the Little Cacapon River and its mouth on the Potomac. Prior to receiving his land grant from Lord Fairfax, Stoker had also purchased 30 acres (120,000 m²) from John Cox. Located on these lands at the Little Cacapon's mouth was "Coxes Ferry," which crossed the Potomac to Maryland. It was at the river's mouth (referred to as "Ferry Field") that a relative of John Cox, Friend Cox, had constructed a stockade. Cox's Fort was erected prior to 1750 for the purposes of protecting and defending both the Potomac River and the Little Cacapon valley. George Washington had previously surveyed a tract of 240 acres (970,000 m²) of land at the Little Cacapon's mouth for Nicholas Friend on April 25, 1750. Cox's fort and ferry later served as a means of transportation for General Edward Braddock and his soldiers en route to Cumberland from Winchester during the French and Indian War.

Civil War skirmishes
By 1842, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad had been completed from Baltimore to Cumberland along the Potomac River through Green Spring, Okonoko, and Little Cacapon. With the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad became a contested mode of transportation between the Union and the Confederacy. Once again, the mouth of the Little Cacapon became a vital location of defense of both the railroad and the Little Cacapon valley. On November 30, 1861, a skirmish occurred near the river in defense of the Little Cacapon railroad bridge that resulted in the wounding of three Union soldiers. The 54th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment's Company K, under the leadership of Captain Edmond R. Newhard, was assigned to guard duty at the Baltimore and Ohio's railroad bridge over the Little Cacapon until January 1863. On October 4, 1862, a skirmish between Company K and Confederate soldiers under the command of General John D. Imboden resulted in the capture of 54 Company K men (including Captain Newhard and Lieutenant Wagner).

Talk:Spear Luin

the description of the "element" of the spear seems to be an artifact of modern new age writers, rather than an accurate description of how the spear was viewed historically. though someone is attempting to overrule me on this, i do think that it is not appropriate to this article. i'll be happy to relent on this if someone can show a citation of an old source indicating that it was described as having an "element" of fire. Whateley23 07:32, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Gae Bolg?
i've looked, and i can find nothing from the extant tradition which supports the idea that Lugh's spear was equated with the Gae Bolg of Cúchulain. if someone can find a cite to support that, feel free to return the info, but without any citations, i felt it best to simply remove the probably spurious information. Whateley23 11:50, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

 * They probably made it up for lack of material, like they did with Lorelei. Raijinili 03:19, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I think you guys are right, but mention of the Gáe Bulg could be moved to a 'see also' section since both are, after all, Irish spears of mythical significance. Anybody might innocently come to the one article when they really meant to search for the other.

Am I right to think that the subject of this article and Spear of Lugh are the same, and should be merged? QuartierLatin1968 18:11, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

 * seems appropriate to me. Spear of Lugh is also the more likely name to look for. Whateley23 14:08, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
