One Day in Your Life (Michael Jackson song)

"One Day in Your Life" is a song recorded by American singer Michael Jackson for his 1975 album, Forever, Michael. Music written by Sam Brown III and lyrics by Renée Armand, it was later released on March 20, 1981 as a single from the compilation album One Day in Your Life due to the commercial interest that generated from the sales of Jackson's hit 1979 album Off the Wall, despite the fact that Jackson had released that album on Epic Records instead of Motown.

While a modest US hit, it was a bigger hit in the UK, where it became Jackson's first solo recording to hit No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart. It was number one in the UK for two weeks in June and July 1981. It also topped the Irish Singles Chart, and also featured strongly on the South African singles charts. It was released on the Motown label. It went on to become the sixth best-selling single of 1981 in the UK. Robert Christgau called this song a romantic ballad that is as credible on its "own terms as the rockers." Five years prior, a cover version by Johnny Mathis for his Feelings album charted in the U.S. and Canada.

Record World said that "Plush strings cushion Michael's heavenly vocals."

Rod Temperton

Rodney Lynn Temperton (9 October 1949 – 25 September 2016) was an English songwriter, producer and musician.

Temperton was the keyboardist and main songwriter for the 1970s pop music, disco and funk band Heatwave, writing songs including "Star of a Story", "Always and Forever", "Boogie Nights", and "The Groove Line". After he was recruited by record producer Quincy Jones, he wrote several successful singles for Michael Jackson, including "Thriller", "Off the Wall", and "Rock with You". He also wrote songs for George Benson, including "Give Me the Night" and "Love X Love", along with Patti Austin and James Ingram's United States number-one single "Baby, Come to Me", among many others.

Temperton wrote the soundtrack for the 1986 film Running Scared. In 1990 he won a Grammy Award for Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella for Birdland.

Early years
Rodney Lynn Temperton was born in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, on 9 October 1949. Interviewed for the BBC Radio 2 documentary The Invisible Man: the Rod Temperton Story, he said that he was a musician from an early age: "My father wasn't the kind of person who would read you a story before you went off to sleep. He used to put a transistor radio in the crib, right on the pillow, and I'd go to sleep listening to Radio Luxembourg, and I think that had an influence."

Temperton attended De Aston Grammar School, Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, and he formed a group for the school's music competitions. He was a drummer at this time. "I'd get in the living room with my snare drum and my cymbal and play along to the BBC test card, which was all kinds of music they'd be playing continuously." On leaving school, he started working as a fish filleter for Ross Frozen Foods in Grimsby, Lincolnshire.

Heatwave
Temperton soon became a full-time musician as a keyboard player, and played in several dance bands. This took him to Worms in Germany. In 1974, he answered an advert in Melody Maker for a keyboardist, placed by Johnnie Wilder Jr., and as a result, became a member of the pop, disco, and funk band: Heatwave, which Wilder was putting together at the time. "He was the first British guy that I had ever met personally. He spoke kind of funny but he had a good sense of humour and he was a very friendly guy. After meeting him and then seeing him play I kind of determined he was a good enough player and entertainer and I just knew he would fit in the group", said Wilder.

Temperton played Wilder tunes he had been composing: "I was very interested because we were doing a lot of cover tunes – we weren't doing a lot of original material – I was really interested." The songs provided material for 1976's Too Hot to Handle including "Boogie Nights", which broke the band in the United Kingdom and the United States, and the ballad "Always and Forever"; both tracks were million-sellers in the USA.

Despite the slick American sound, Temperton's working surroundings were still far from glamorous. Alan Kirk, a Yorkshire musician with Jimmy James and the Vagabonds, who toured with Heatwave in the mid 1970s, remembered: "Always and Forever was written on a Wurlitzer piano at the side of a pile of pungent washing – sorry to disappoint all the romantics." Producer Barry Blue recalled: "He had a very small flat, so everything had to be done within one room and he had piles of washing, and had the TV on top of the organ. It was a nightmare [...] he had trams running outside [...] but he made it, he just absorbed himself in the music and Rod seemed to come up with these amazing songs."

In 1977, Heatwave followed up the success of its first album with its second, Central Heating, with Barry Blue again producing, and Temperton behind the majority of the songs. It included "The Groove Line", another international hit single. In 1978, Temperton decided to concentrate on writing, and left Heatwave, though he continued to write for the band.

Songs written for Michael Jackson
Temperton's work attracted the attention of Quincy Jones, and he asked his engineer Bruce Swedien to check out the Heatwave album. "Holy cow! I simply loved Rod's musical feeling – everything about it – Rod's arrangements, his tunes, his songs – was exceedingly hip", recalled Swedien, also calling Temperton: "the most disciplined pop music composer I've ever met. When he comes to the studio, every musical detail is written down or accounted for in Rod's mind. He never stops until he feels confident that the music we're working on is able to stand on its own." In 1979, Temperton was recruited by Quincy Jones to write for what became Michael Jackson's first solo album in four years, and his first full-fledged solo release for Epic Records, titled Off the Wall. Temperton wrote three songs for the album, including "Rock with You", which became the second US number 1 single from the album.

In the early 1980s, Temperton left Germany and moved to Beverly Hills, California. In 1982, Temperton wrote three songs, including the title track, for Jackson's next LP, Thriller, which became the biggest-selling album of all time in the United States, selling 32 million copies. Temperton also wrote the spoken word section of the song for the actor Vincent Price. On coming up with the title "Thriller", Temperton once said: I went back to the hotel, wrote two or three hundred titles and came up with Midnight Man. The next morning, I woke up and I just said this word. Something in my head just said, 'This is the title'. You could visualise it at the top of the Billboard charts. You could see the merchandising for this one word, how it jumped off the page as 'Thriller'.

Other songwriting successes
Temperton wrote successfully for other musicians, his hits including disco classic "Stomp!" for The Brothers Johnson; George Benson's "Give Me the Night"; "Baby, Come to Me" for Patti Austin and James Ingram; "Love Is in Control (Finger on the Trigger)" for Donna Summer; and "Yah Mo B There" for James Ingram and Michael McDonald. Temperton also wrote for Herbie Hancock, The Manhattan Transfer, Mica Paris, Rufus and Chaka Khan, Karen Carpenter and many others.

Film work
In 1979, Temperton co-wrote the song "Keep Tomorrow For Me", with Barry Blue. The song was performed by Heatwave for the movie Escape To Athena soundtrack and served as the movie's closing theme.

In 1982, Temperton wrote the music to Someone in the Dark, recorded by Michael Jackson, and produced by Quincy Jones, for the movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, with lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman.

In 1986, Temperton was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Miss Celie's Blues (Sister)", which he wrote with Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie for The Color Purple film of 1985. (Richie won the award for "Say You, Say Me", from White Nights.) He was also nominated for Best Original Score, along with the 11 other composers, including Jones, who worked on The Color Purple's soundtrack.

Later in 1986, the buddy-cop action-comedy Running Scared was released, featuring five new songs written by Temperton, including "Sweet Freedom", performed by Michael McDonald; and "Man Size Love", performed by Klymaxx. Temperton also composed the film's score.

Personal life and death
After leaving Heatwave to concentrate on his songwriting, Temperton shunned the celebrity lifestyle, and remained a very private man. Due to his low profile, Temperton was nicknamed "The Invisible Man". He died on 25 September 2016 after "a brief aggressive battle with cancer", as described by Jon Platt of Warner/Chappell music publishing. His death would be announced a week later on 5 October 2016, with his private funeral having already taken place. Gilles Peterson, a BBC radio presenter, paid tribute to Temperton on Twitter: "Apart from Lennon and McCartney no one from the UK has written more gold plated songs than Sir Rod Temperton... a huge loss. RIP."

Temperton is survived by his wife Kathy. They had homes in Los Angeles, the south of France, Fiji, Switzerland, and Kent in southeast England.

Talk:Gentamicin

Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment
This article is or was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Rg cp133 g12, Khanhkdk12, Mnho cp133 g12, Lena Truong G12. Peer reviewers: 11kimbobese, Ttrannn 11, Echung11.

Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT (talk) 22:13, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Topical inclusion
Gentamicin can also be used topically, but this use is not mentioned in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Niqueco (talk • contribs) 00:33, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Done. Should I take out the sign? I only added two words... 84.42.146.44 03:12, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

i think somone should remove the link for "wobblers anonymous" from the side effects, and possibly put it into another paragraph - i rekon it is out of context in that part of the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.146.160 (talk) 16:27, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Would this Wiki be an appropriate place to comment on the reason this drug is spelled "-mIcin" instead of "-mYcin" as is the case with many other antibiotics, including the other aminoglycoside agents? I realize this is somewhat trivial, but this is often a source of frustration when clinicians try to search for "gentamycin" and are not successful because they don't realize that this is not the correct spelling. (I actually don't the reason for the naming convention and was hoping to find an explanation here.) Thanks for your consideration. --71.123.231.198 (talk) 03:33, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

 * It's more likely than not a name, rather than a naming convention for a class of antibiotics. There are other 'mycins' (macrolides for example) out there that aren't aminoglycosides. The only thing in common is that they are all derived from Streptomyces species. --Nikbro (talk) 01:24, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I've proposed that the page Gentamicin toxicity be merged into the "side effects" section of this page. Any discussion? Agathman (talk) 22:21, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

do it Mba123 (talk) 19:06, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

good idea!

--Kischel (talk) 13:58, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Definitely, ASAP. --Cpt ricard (talk) 18:56, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

I've merged the two, and now for some clean-up --Cpt ricard (talk) 19:18, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Disappointed
While this page isn't terrible, particularly by general wiki standards, compared to most other medications on here this page is really lacking. The side effects take up more than half of the article! I might be able to make some additions at some point, but it is definately in need of some work.McPat (talk) 13:40, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Deafness
The article does mention "ototoxic", but it would be good to use language known to the layman, such as "deaf". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.134.139.72 (talk) 20:06, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Wrong structure
The schematic structure given at the top is missing a N-methyl substitution (compare it with the ball and stick model which is correct). The C6-N is a secondary amine. It is the amine to the right in the schematic structure. Would someone be able to fix this? Silasmellor (talk) 11:20, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Someone should fix the structures. But looking up the CAS registry number here, it says that it is actually not a pure substance but a mixture of 3 similar compounds, and that's also mentioned on ChemIDplus. Icek (talk) 12:30, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Gentamicin inner ear side effects caused by drops to the eye?
Apologies if this not the appropriate place to ask this question, but the first paragraph of the side effects section deals extensively with side effects to the inner ear, yet the last sentence reads "these side effects are most common when the drug is administered via drops directly to the eye"; should that not read "these side effects are most common when the drug is administered via drops directly to the ear"?

Relevance as a Cystic Fibrosis Treatment?
Can someone contribute a section on Gentamicin's possible use as a treatment for some variants of Cystic Fibrosis (and one for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy too)? I lack the knowledge and expertise to do so :( AncientBrit (talk) 04:19, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Orientation of the two structure diagrams
I'm an interested lay-person and often have trouble matching the chemical structure pic with the ball-picture. In this case it seems the one is the mirror (mirrored on a vertical axis) of the other. Can someone fix this? And is it too much to ask if someone who is a bit more proficient editing wikipedia to do this for any other pages they might come across? I'm sure I'm not the only one for whom this is an admittedly minor problem. Thanks, j.appelzaad 15:56, 13 March 2014 UTC — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.211.115.30 (talk)

CP133 Focus Edits
We focused on adding a contraindications and special populations section to the page. These are important points regarding the medication, and it is good knowledge to know in which people it can be used safely or not. It is also a helpful guide for professionals in the healthcare field to know when not to use gentamicin. Our main focus for this paper included organizing it a little better and providing more information that we deemed useful to the general public. Rg cp133 g12 (talk) 04:15, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Overall, for most of the sections, our group focused on the references and tried to add/strengthen the resources used by previous editors. We selected three areas: introduction, medical uses, and side effects and went through each sentence to make sure they all have good references attached to them. Additionally, we also added sections such as contraindication and special populations because we thought the public would find those information beneficialRg cp133 g12 (talk) 04:26, 5 November 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rg cp133 g12 (talk • contribs)

CP133 Peer Review
Yes, this draft submission reflects a neutral point of view and points included were verifiable with cited published material. Some areas of improvement include: Echung11 (talk) 06:05, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Introduction: Try to include some common side effects along with serious side effects.
 * Side effects: Try adding specific information such as percentages if available regarding how likely the side effects will occur (similar to nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity).
 * Side effect – nephrotoxicity: Listing symptoms of kidney damage that patients can easily distinguish at home would be helpful.
 * Contraindications: List out a few examples of the type of hypersensitivity or the serious toxic reaction to look for.

This draft is unbiased, neutral, and well written with a lot of cited published sources. Recommendations for improvement: 11kimbobese (talk) 07:29, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * maybe also use bullet appoints for the other "less common" side effects and how frequent the incidence is
 * maybe add use in hepatic/renal impairment

1. Yes, this draft submission reflects a neutral point of view. 2. Yes, the points included in the article are verifiable with cited published material. 3. Some possible recommendations I would suggest to further improve this article include: Ttrannn 11 (talk) 09:53, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * In contraindications, are nausea and vomiting considered a hypersensitivity that merits contraindication or are the more serious reactions such as low blood counts, allergic responses, neuropathy, or ototoxicity with prior gentamicin use considered instead? Are there guidelines to alternative antibiotics?
 * In special populations, I would include that although not recommended, gentamicin can, in fact, be used for life-threatening situations in both pregnant women and infants per package insert (pg 3).
 * Incomplete citations for History and Research sections
 * Multiple duplications in References section
 * Minor formatting with hyperlinked words being capitalized mid-sentence

Neisseria and Legionella error
The following statement is incorrect:
 * Gentamicin is not used for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis or Legionella pneumophila bacterial infections (because of the risk of the person going into shock from lipid A endotoxin found in certain Gram-negative organisms).

Gentamicin has not historically been used because these organisms are intracelluar and gentamicin penetration into cells is very poor. In fact gentamicin has been used successfully to treat drug-resistant gonorrhoea. I therefore propose deleting the bracketed word. Gak (talk) 17:01, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Irreversible binding
I changed the irreversible binding to "irreversible" and it was reverted, but I believe that this was done in error. Aminoglycosides such as Gentamicin don't covalently bind to the ribosome so by the biochemical definition of reversible vs. irreversible inhibitors this would make gentamicin a reversible inhibitor. With that said, the reference in the area is from DrugBank, a very thorough and pretty reputable source, and even there it says irreversible in quotes. This is because while it doesn't covalently link to the ribosome, it's binding is very tight and seems irreversible as it kills bacteria. I'd recommend changing irreversible to reversible inhibitor via this reference which shows NMR structural studies on the binding of gentamicin.

Upon looking at common websites and searches there appears to be a lot of references to "irreversible" binding, but no biochemical studies are referenced, only drug databases. I am inclined to think that these are inaccurate based upon the mechanism of action of other aminoglycosides and also the quotation marks in the DrugBank.ca website. I won't change anything yet due to the conflicts online, but my recommendation would be to change it to reversible.

Biosynthesis
Hi! I'm a chemist and I will be adding the biosynthesis of Gentamicin. I plan to discuss the mechanism, the unknown genes associated with the expressed proteins and the similarities to other aminoglycoside antibiotic biosynthesis in order too support the theories behind the unknown bits. I also planned to parse through the information already provided to ensure everything is up to-date in accordance with these sources:

I'm new to editing Wikipedia, So I'll probably post some questions here.

My first question is, are my sources ok for use on Wikipedia? I know I'm not supposed to use anything that is directly researched by the authors, I have a book and the other two sources are reviews.

Thanks everyone!! -- Cmlambert (talk) 04:35, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I added my biosynthesis section and edited the introduction of the page to reflect the change. I also added a structure and fermentation section to support the biosynthesis information. Please let me know if there should be any corrections. Thank you! Happy editing. Cmlambert (talk) 09:47, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

 * While it's an excellent article, some people may find the style overly familiar and judgmental at times. Statements such as "they beat a steady pathway to his door" and "finding a shared soul and recognizing her complimentary qualities to his own awkward introvertedness" appear to be non-neutral opinions. &c.

Prehysteria! (film series)

Prehysteria! is a series of three family monster comedy films made in the early to mid-1990s about the adventures of five miniature baby dinosaurs named after famous pop musicians. The dinosaurs were Elvis, a male Tyrannosaurus, Paula, a female Brachiosaurus, Jagger, a male Stegosaurus, Hammer, a male Chasmosaurus, and Madonna, a female Geosternbergia (despite having the crest of a male, and despite the fact that Geosternbergia was a genus of pterosaur rather than a dinosaur). The films were made by Moonbeam Entertainment, the family-oriented sub-brand of B-movie producer Charles Band's Full Moon Entertainment. Richard Band, Michael Bishop, and Fuzzbee Morse composed the music for the films.

Development
In the early 1990s, Charles Band was working on a new label from Full Moon Entertainment, called Moonbeam Entertainment. Moonbeam Entertainment was created specifically for family, science fiction and fantasy films created for children and adults with no "hard edge" to them. Around the same time, storyboard artist Peter von Sholly, approached Band with a concept about creating a movie about miniature dinosaurs. Band, intrigued with the idea, thought that it was perfect to be the first Moonbeam film. David Allen Productions and Mark Rappaport created the special effects for all of the films.

The first Prehysteria! was co-directed by Charles and Albert Band and it was released in 1993. The film was a huge success, gaining over $100,000,000 in rental sales. Due to its outcome, a sequel, ''Prehysteria! 2'', was quickly developed and released in 1994. No character from the first film returned, but Albert Band returned to direct. In 1995, Moonbeam developed a second sequel entitled ''Prehysteria! 3''. David DeCoteau directed the film. The only returning character was Owen Bush from the second film. All of the films were released by Paramount Home Video. Besides the dinosaurs, Mr. Cranston (Owen Bush) is the only returning character in the series. The Stegosaurus, Jagger, never appeared on the first three film posters. Prehysteria! was Austin O'Brien's first lead role. The Tyrannosaurus, Elvis, and Brachiosaurus, Paula, have appeared on all of the film posters. The dinosaurs in the first three films were realized by traditional stop motion animation and rod puppets. ''Prehysteria! 2 and Prehysteria! 3'' were both aimed at younger audiences. Madonna the Geosternbergia hurt her wing in ''Prehysteria! 2'', so that the producers could save money on the cost of stop motion animation. In ''Prehysteria! 3'', Madonna does not fly. Prehysteria! was the first Moonbeam Entertainment film. Prehysteria 2 was Moonbeam's first sequel. The characters of "Richie", played by Stuart Fratkin and "Louis", played by Tony Longo from the first Prehysteria!, were brought back to star in another Moonbeam Production, "Remote", because they had done so well as comedic thugs in Prehysteria!.

Prehysteria!
Released in 1993, Prehysteria! tells the story of Rico Sarno, a museum curator, who enters a forbidden temple in South America and discovers a nest of five eggs. He steals them and brings them to his museum. Frank Taylor (Brett Cullen), a raisin farmer, sells fossils to Rico and in a mix-up, the Taylor's dog takes a cooler, which has the eggs. The kids, Monica (Samantha Mills) and Jerry (Austin O'Brien) discover the dinosaurs when they hatch and try to keep it a secret, until their father finds out. When Vicki Vandell (Colleen Morris), a woman who works for Rico, sees the dinosaurs, she tells the Taylors not to give them back to Rico because he will expose them. Rico finds out the Taylors have them and hires two robbers to help him get the dinosaurs back.

Prehysteria! 2
''Prehysteria! 2'' was the sequel to the first film and was released in 1994. Mr. Cranston is a friend of the Taylors and he watches the mini-dinosaurs while they are on vacation. The five mini-dinosaurs break out of the Taylors' farm and accidentally get shipped into a crate of raisins. The crate is found in a box car by Naomi (Jennifer Harte), a girl whose father works at the train station and a rich kid named Brendan Wellington (Kevin Connors) who is hiding in the box car because he is being chased by bullies who are about to attack him. When the two discover the raisin crate, they get into an argument on who should keep the dinosaurs, Brendan claiming that he saw them first and Naomi claiming them on the fact that it is her box car. Brendan pays a worker for the crate, knowing that the dinosaurs are inside. Brendan is unhappy because he has no friends and is desperate for attention because his father does not spend much time with him. Naomi and Brendan later become friends and the mini-dinosaurs help the boy get the attention he needs, and try to save him from his abusive mistress Miss Winters who is allergic to animals. When she finds out about Brendan having pets (not knowing that they are dinosaurs), she hires two exterminators. She also views Brendan as a child with a lot of problems and wants to send him to a disciplinary school.

''Prehysteria! 3'' is the third and final film of the series, and was released in 1995. This time, the five dinosaurs fall out of the back of Mr. Cranston's truck, and they make their way to another family's home. The dinosaurs help the MacGregor family, who is struggling with their mini-putt golf course. Ella MacGregor (Whitney Anderson) is in love with her Scottish culture, but is sad that the mini-putt golf course is going under. She finds the dinosaurs, and with her family's help, they re-build the golf course with a dinosaur theme, which helps them a lot.

Tom Aldredge

Thomas Ernest Aldredge (February 28, 1928 – July 22, 2011) was an American television, film and stage actor.

He won a Daytime Emmy Award for playing the role of Shakespeare in Henry Winkler Meets William Shakespeare (1978). His Broadway stage career spanned five decades, including five Tony Award nominations. He played both the Narrator and the Mysterious Man in the original Broadway cast of Into the Woods. He also appeared on television in programs including Ryan's Hope, Damages, and Boardwalk Empire, with a notable role as Hugh De Angelis, Tony Soprano’s father-in-law, on The Sopranos.

Life and career
Aldredge was born in Dayton, Ohio, the son of Lucienne Juliet (née Marcillat) and William Joseph Aldredge, a colonel in the United States Army Air Corps. He originally planned to become a lawyer and was a Pre-Law student at the University of Dayton in the late 1940s. In 1947 he decided to pursue a career as an actor after attending a performance of the original Broadway production of A Streetcar Named Desire.

Aldredge carved out a respected career on the Broadway stage that spanned five decades, garnering five Tony Award nominations. He made his Broadway debut as Danny in the 1959 musical The Nervous Set. In 1972 he won a Drama Desk Award for his portrayal of Ozzie, the father of a blinded Vietnam veteran, in David Rabe's Sticks and Bones. He played Henry VIII's fool, Will Sommers, in Richard Rodgers' penultimate musical Rex in 1976. He originated the role of Norman Thayer Jr. in On Golden Pond in 1978, earning a Drama Desk Award nomination. His best-known role, however, was that of the Narrator/Mysterious Man in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Into the Woods, a role he originated on Broadway and later repeated in the PBS American Playhouse production and the 1997 tenth anniversary concert. He also created the role of Doctor Tambourri in another Sondheim/Lapine collaboration, Passion.

He was part of the 1997 all-star revival of Inherit the Wind produced by Tony Randall, playing Rev. Brown in an ensemble that also included George C. Scott, Charles Durning, and Anthony Heald.

In 1960 Theodore Flicker founded a professional Off-Broadway coffee house theater, The Premise at 154 Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. He recruited Tom Aldredge along with Joan Darling, George Segal and Dolores Welber as the initial improvisational cast fielding and reacting to suggestions from their audience.

He had a 50-year-long career working as a character actor on television and film. He won a Daytime Emmy Award in 1978 for his portrayal of William Shakespeare in the episode Henry Winkler Meets William Shakespeare on the program The CBS Festival of Lively Arts for Young People. His best-known television role was that of Tony Soprano's father-in-law, Hugh De Angelis, on the HBO series The Sopranos.

Personal life
He was married to stage and screen costume designer Theoni V. Aldredge from 1953 until her death on January 21, 2011.

Death
Aldredge died July 22, 2011, under hospice in Tampa, Florida from lymphoma. He was 83 years old. Aldredge died during the filming of Boardwalk Empire episode "Two Boats and a Lifeguard", in which his character also died.

Danny Quah

Danny Quah is Li Ka Shing Professor in Economics at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore. Quah's work includes contributions to the fields of economic growth, development economics, monetary economics, macroeconometrics, and the weightless economy. Quah is best known for his research on estimation techniques for disentangling the effects of different disturbances on economies, for his studies on economic growth and convergence across nation states, and for his analyses of large-scale shifts in the global economy. Quah became the dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, beginning his term on 1 May 2018.

Early years
Quah was born in Penang, in the Federation of Malaya which later became Malaysia, and attended the Penang Free School and Francis Light School before leaving for university studies in the United States. Quah obtained his A.B. from Princeton University in 1980 and his Ph.D. from Harvard University.

Career
Quah worked as assistant professor of economics at MIT before joining the Economics Department at LSE in 1991. Quah was, for 2006–2009, Head of the Economics Department at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He was, through 2016, Professor of Economics and International Development, and founding Director of the Saw Swee Hock Southeast Asia Centre at LSE. Quah joined the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at NUS as Li Ka Shing Professor in Economics in August 2016.

Quah had served previously as Council Member on Malaysia's National Economic Advisory Council and as Consultant for the Bank of England, the World Bank, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Currently, he is on the advisory board of OMFIF where he is regularly involved in meetings regarding the financial and monetary system. Quah had also worked as a visiting assistant professor of economics at Harvard University, a visiting Professor of Economics at Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management and at the Nanyang Technological University of Singapore, and the Tan Chin Tuan Visiting Professor at NUS's Department of Economics.

Research contributions
Google Scholar Citations reports that Quah's most-cited works include his 1989 paper on Vector Autoregressions with Olivier Blanchard and his papers on poverty traps in cross-country economic growth and the convergence of Twin Peaked income distributions. His published academic writings range widely from his prize-winning 2011 paper on the shifting global economy—mapping the eastwards movement in the world's economic center of gravity away from its 1980s mid-Atlantic location —to work while still a graduate student on the appendix to the famous Monetarist paper "Some Unpleasant Monetarist Arithmetic" (by Thomas Sargent and Neil Wallace). Quah calls The Great Shift East the move in the world's economic center of gravity out of the mid-Atlantic location where it had been for most of the 19th and 20th centuries, pulled by the rise of economies in the east. Between 1980 and 2010 that economic center of gravity moved 5,000 km east, to the Persian Gulf, on a trajectory that continues to take it towards the boundary between India and China.

Although the early part of his career saw close attention to technical developments in timeseries econometrics, Quah became heavily influenced by the approach to communicating ideas exemplified in the work of Edward Tufte, and sought similar dissemination of his research to a wider audience. He has also argued that research on economic development needs to be inextricably linked to scholarly work in International Relations.

Public Dissemination
Quah's TED talks include "Global Tensions From a Rising East" (March 2012) and "Economics, Democracy, and the New World Order" (August 2014). Quah's public lectures and events, more generally, are available on a curated YouTube listing.

Valeriepieris circle
The Mong Khet Circle is a 6600 km diameter circle that contains more humans within it than outside of it, and placed over east Asia with its epicenter over Mong Khet Township, Myanmar. An original circle of 8000 km diameter was originally devised by Ken Myers in 2013, before being later refined to 6600 km by Quah, with Mong Khet being identified as the centre.

Talk:Milliarcsecond

Distance of a tennis ball with a size of one milliarcsecond
A sphere with radius r at a distance D will have an angular size of θ if

$$D={r\over\tan(\theta/2)}.$$

Since a tennis ball has a diameter of about 6.5 cm, and one milliarcsecond is (1/3,600,000)°,

$$D={3.25\,{\rm cm}\over\tan\,(1/7\,200\,000)^\circ}\approx13\,407\,{\rm km}.$$

—Bkell 00:40, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Isn't one milliarcsecond 1/1,296,000,000°? --LiamE 16:50, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Ignore me - I've worked out my own mistake! ITS 1/1,296,000,000 of a circle not a degree. The original poster is correct. --LiamE 19:09, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Rather than having to take arctans of things, you can use the small-angle approximation (which is an extremely good one for angles of milliarcsecond size);
 * $$D\approx {d \over\theta}$$ (θ is in radians, d is the diameter of the object, and D is the distance from the object).
 * 1 milliarcsecond = $$\frac{pi}{648000000}$$ radians.

 * Putting that into the approximation; $$D\approx\frac{648000000 d}{pi\times\theta}$$, with θ now in milliarcsec.

 * For a 6.5 cm object subtending 1 mas, we get $$D\approx {1.34\,\times\, 10^7\, m}$$ Richard B 02:47, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Massachusetts Route 138

Route 138 is a 43.58 mi north–south state highway in Massachusetts. From the state line in Tiverton, Rhode Island to Milton, Route 138 runs as an extension of Rhode Island Route 138, which is itself an extension of Connecticut Route 138. Route 138's northern terminus is at Route 28 in Milton.

Route description
Running generally north, Route 138 crosses from Rhode Island into Fall River, where it meets the southern terminus of Route 79 at exit 11 (formerly 5) of Interstate 195, then begins a concurrency with Route 79 and later, U.S. Route 6. Routes 138 and 6 then travel off of Route 79 and over the Brightman Street Bridge into Somerset, where the concurrency with U.S. Route 6 splits at an intersection with Route 103. Route 138 proceeds through Dighton and into Taunton, intersecting Route 140 and U.S. Route 44 at Taunton Green. In Raynham, the route has an interchange with Interstate 495 at exit 22 (formerly 8) before continuing into Easton, where it intersects Route 106 before beginning a brief concurrency with Route 123 near Stonehill College. Route 138 meets the western terminus of Route 139 at the beginning of an extremely short concurrency with Route 27 in downtown Stoughton, before crossing into Canton and meeting Interstate 93/U.S. 1 at exit 2 (Exit 2A is for Route 138 south, while 2B is for Route 138 North). The route finally enters Milton, travels by Curry College and the Neponset Valley Parkway, and terminates at Route 28, directly before that route crosses the Neponset River and enters Boston.

History
Until the late 1960's - early 1970's, Route 138 was multiplexed with Route 28 on Blue Hill Avenue to Route 3 (now MA 203) on Morton Street, then to the Arborway and the Jamaicaway. Route 138 turned off onto Brookline Avenue at intersection of the Jamaicaway (where it became the Riverway) and continued to end at US Route 20 and Route 30 in Kenmore Square.

During the Blizzard of 1978, Route 138's intersection with Interstate 93 (which at the time still had Route 128 concurrent with it) gained some notoriety as the location shot of photos taken featuring cars trapped in the snow along the underpassing freeway.

Parts of Route 138 follows the route of the "Old Bay Road," which was the earliest line of travel between Boston and Taunton.

User:Brian Olsen

My name, if you hadn't guessed from my terribly clever username, is Brian Olsen. I'm a director for theater living in New York City. I first began using Wikipedia some time ago as a research tool for shows I was working on. I took a closer look at it, and quickly became hooked on editing.

My primary interest is in the Doctor Who Wikiproject, with a few scattered interests elsewhere. When I'm bored, I fix messy links. I've also got a quickly growing interest in templates.

My user page is rather drab - it's mostly a place for me to store links I like to have easy access to. Sorry.

Feel free to leave me messages on my talk page.

Pages I've created (or significantly revamped)
I just created my first page, The God of Hell. It's a play by Sam Shepard. I saw the red link on the page for Shepard, and since I was assistant director for the original production, I figured I should try and tackle it. --August 21, 2005

Later the same day, I've created my second page, A Bright Room Called Day. It's a play by Tony Kushner. I recently directed a production of it, so it's fresh in my mind, and I've got the research materials lying about. --August 21, 2005

I just did a complete revamp of Gorilla Repertory Theatre Company. I didn't create the page, but I pretty much rewrote it (previously, it was really just the company's mission statement). I've worked with the company pretty extensively, but I think I've managed to keep a neutral point of view. --June 6, 2006
 * I pretty much stay away from this page now. I was accused of editorializing, which I don't think is fair or accurate. An anonymous user apparently complained about some of the content, and it was removed for reasons that I don't really understand. I was going to pursue it further, but the whole thing really upset me. So I'm done with it.

Created The New School for Drama, which I've been working on for a few days in my sandbox. --December 19, 2006

Template I've created
I've made a few templates for use of the Doctor Who WikiProject. They're all modifcations of existing templates, although to one of them I ultimately made some significant changes that taught me a lot about template syntax.

I created the templates Brief ep, OG ep, DWRG ep and OG review ep for use on the articles for episodes of the new series of Doctor Who. They were just shorthand for external links we put on those articles, but they put the title of the episode in quotation marks instead of italics. (The original series uses italics for serial titles.) After learning a bit more about templates, I modified the originals to be able to use either italics or quotation marks, and put my own templates up for speedy deletion.

Cite serial I'm rather proud of. I adapted it from Cite episode, but made some changes and additions to it. It's a citation template for use on television serials.

Doctorwhocitenav is for use on Doctor Who episode citation pages. I've put a lot of work into those pages - they've got all the citations for every episode of the show ready to copy and paste into an article, so that people who don't really get the citation syntax can still cite episodes properly. This template is a navigation box for the various subpages.

Images I've uploaded
Image:Grantmarkham.JPG (This was the first image I uploaded, and I wish I had formatted the name differently. It's unlikely any other article will ever link to it, though, so it's probably ok.)

Milestone edits
My very first edit, made on July 8, 2005 to Liz Shaw. Starting small. I don't believe I made any anonymous edits before this (but I could be mistaken).

My 500th edit, made on January 23, 2007 to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who. A talk page! Boring. That's an awful long time for only five hundred edits.

My 1000th edit, made on August 13, 2007 to Talk:Method acting. Another talk page! I need to start watching for these milestone edits. The second 500 edits came faster, at least.

My 1500th edit, made on December 31, 2007 to The Daleks. Happy New Year! This was a much bigger edit (although I confess I was watching my edit counter in order to make this a good one).

Spam blog

A spam blog, also known as an auto blog or the neologism splog, is a blog which the author uses to promote affiliated websites, to increase the search engine rankings of associated sites or to simply sell links/ads.

The purpose of a splog can be to increase the PageRank or backlink portfolio of affiliate websites, to artificially inflate paid ad impressions from visitors (see made for AdSense or MFA-blogs), and/or use the blog as a link outlet to sell links or get new sites indexed. Spam blogs are usually a type of scraper site, where content is often either inauthentic text or merely stolen (see blog scraping) from other websites. These blogs usually contain a high number of links to sites associated with the splog creator which are often disreputable or otherwise useless websites.

This is used often in conjunction with other spamming techniques, including spings.

History
The term splog was popularized around mid August 2005 when it was used publicly by Mark Cuban, It developed from multiple linkblogs that were trying to influence search indexes and others trying to Google bomb every word in the dictionary.

Msnbot

Msnbot was a web-crawling robot (type of internet bot), deployed by Microsoft to collect documents from the web to build a searchable index for the MSN Search engine. It went into beta in 2004, and had full public release in 2005. The month of October 2010 saw the official retirement of msnbot from most active web crawling duties and its replacement by bingbot.

As of September 2015, msnbot was still active from the Microsoft and the Bing webmaster help & howto documentation still indicated that msnbot was active (but that it would retire soon). The verification tool for bingbot previously did not recognise msnbot IP addresses. A test executed on 2016-02-22 resulted in a yes: "Verdict for IP address 157.55.39.150: Yes - this IP address is a verified Bingbot IP address. Name: msnbot-157-55-39-150.search.msn.com."

User talk:Rivarez

Hi! Thanks for everything you've done on the "Left Party" page. One question: why did you remove the reference to the KPD in the list of predecessor parties? My intention in adding it was not to be POV: but legally, the Left Party is a successor of the KPD as it was reestablished in the Soviet Occupation Zone of Germany in 1945 and later merged with the east-SPD to form the SED. So there's legal continuity there, and even the post-communist members of the party claim at least a sentimental connection with the Weimar Republic KPD: thus, their participation in the annual "Luxemburg-Liebknecht" demonstrations in Berlin every January, the fact that their national headquarters is the original KPD headquarters (Karl Liebknecht Haus) in Berlin, etc.

I'm not challenging this because I don't think it's an important enough a factoid for the reader, but just curious.

Thanks again for your contributions to the page. --langohio 16:44, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, it was nominally a merger of equals in 1946, so the SED was as much successor of the KPD as it was successor of the SPD. And both applies only to eastern Germany, as both the KPD and SPD continued to exist separately in western Germany after 1946. Rivarez 17:18, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Infobox
You need to settle down and stop edit warring. Tell me what you do not like about infoboxes? -- Netoholic @ 23:33, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

 * You need to settle down and stop edit warring. I have nothing against infoboxes per se. I have something against those infoboxes that provide no new information and just repeat what's already in the article text. Rivarez 00:20, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Netoholic, Rivarez is just following agreement on the page.. he just happened to be faster to find your edit than others. Your slow motion edit war is no better than a high speed one, as you refuse to participate in discussion, it just doesn't run afoul of the 3RR. Rest assured that had Rivarez not removed the infobox that there are at least a dozen others who would have, myself included. --Gmaxwell 22:20, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

3RR

Softdisk (disk magazine)

Softdisk, originally Softdisk Magazette, was a disk magazine for the Apple II computer line, published from 1981 through 1995. It was the first publication of the company that was also known as Softdisk, which would go on to publish disk magazines for other systems, other software, and later be involved in Internet access, hosting, and development.

History
The brainchild of Jim Mangham, who then worked at the LSU Medical Center in Shreveport, Louisiana, Softdisk (originally intended to be called The Harbinger Magazette, but launched as Softdisk Magazette, with "magazette" being a portmanteau word combining "magazine" and "diskette") was published out of Mangham's house, with his then-wife Judi Mangham, LSUMC co-worker Al Vekovius, and Softalk magazine (a paper magazine for the Apple) as partners in the venture.

The first issue was published in September, 1981, and consisted of a single 5.25" floppy diskette which could be flipped over to get to content on the back side. There was fairly little content on the first issue, and it was mostly repeated on the second issue, so later when issue numbers were retroactively assigned for the purpose of back issue sales the October, 1981 issue was designated as "Softdisk #1", with the preceding month's issue considered either "#0" or unnumbered.

Originally, the subscribers had to send back the previous month's disk when the following issue was received; reusable mailers were used for this purpose, with a postage-paid return address label on the flip side of the address label used for outbound mailing, which was inserted in a plastic Ziploc baggie on the outside of the mailer so it could be reversed by the recipient. This disk return requirement was due in part to the fact that floppy disks were more expensive in those days and needed to be reused for economy, but was also designed to allow the subscribers to participate by leaving feedback electronically on the returning disks, as well as article and program submissions.

At first, the only payment for published material was in the form of coupons for free issues (subscriptions were on a month-to-month basis, with subscribers enclosing payment for the next issue along with returning disks; the price was $5 per issue at first), though eventually monetary payments were instituted. There was quite a bit of submitted material even before there was any financial incentive to participate; similarly to later projects such as open-source software and wikis, Softdisk found a community of willing participants with motives other than making money.

As the publication grew and evolved, however, it became more conventional and "mainstream", losing some of its early quirky flavor and the community that developed around it; ultimately, it was more of a normal commercial publication, sold on an annual subscription basis and in retail stores, with a paid staff and contracted freelancers to produce material, and without any disk-return requirement.

Within the Apple II platform, Softdisk spawned Softdisk G-S for the Apple IIGS computer in 1989; Softdisk G-S lasted until 1997. It took advantage of the improved graphic and sound capabilities of the II GS over earlier Apple models. Diskworld for the Macintosh (later Softdisk for Mac) was also published, and eventually Softdisk was redesigned to have a similar user interface, with many of the same staff people working on both the Mac and Apple II products. The original publication continued past the time when most people in the computer field regarded the Apple II as obsolete, but eventually ended publication in August, 1995 with issue #166 (at which point then-editor Peter Rokitski was putting it out practically singlehandedly), survived by disk magazines for other computer lines such as the Macintosh and Windows which lasted a few more years before the entire line of Softdisk disk magazines was terminated.

However, I have a message for the person who posted it: When you have worked some more on Epsilon 96, you are welcome to try making the article once again. All you need to go on is to show some professionalism. For the time being, delete.
 * Delete. According to the page this article links to, this is the creation of a 16-year-old. Latest entry (14 August) confesses that he has "not really worked on anything e96 related for awile [sic] now, But I just can't motivate myself that easily." If the creator can't interest himself about this, then why should we feel it's notable? (Yeah, I wrote a bad word, but to call this "vanity" implies the author actually cares -- & he admits that he doesn't.) -- llywrch 01:02, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete--even if this was not advertising, and was an attempt at creating an artical about something that the writer considered noteworthy, it is obscure enough(and a stub to boot) that it is a good canadate for deletion anyway.
