Welcome Message
Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Mike1024! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:

 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Acetic  ' Acid  14:01, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

I'm afraid not, I came across the article purely by chance, and don't have any knowledge on the subject, much less reputable sources. Good luck in your search... Alai 14:58, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Geneva Mechanism
That is a FANTASTIC animation for Geneva Mechanism. Thanks! Ppe42 11:38, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree - it's amazing! Well done Mike. I've nominated it for Featured Picture status. - Gobeirne 19:01, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Image:Sparklers moving slow shutter speed.jpg
Please use Wikimedia Commons to upload you images. Thanks, Saperaud 02:49, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

The reasons I havn't done this in the past include:
 * Don't like creating new accounts; would like single sign-on.
 * Don't want my edit history, messages, user pages etc split over two servers; would like them unified.
 * Don't like having files split over servers; would like a 'move all images to commons' tool.

When those things are present, I will happily use commons for all my image uploading. Until then, my images are all licensed such that you can use them anywhere without restriction - You can copy them yourself if you want to use them!

Cheers,

Electrical substation
I noticed that you have been involved in transformers, I thought that you might be able to help out with the substation design / protection section. If you are an electrical eng. student then you might be able to ask one of your tutors if they have ever heard of an event called the luton flashover. It was a major substation failure in the UK which lead (many years ago) to a national power outage and a profound chnage in substation design. If you can help please contact me on my talk page Cadmium 12:23, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip on my talk page, please if possible could you give me more details. The event which you are describing sounds similar to the events during the oct 1987 storm which caused the power to go off in London.

BTW do you get taught much about power systems on your BEng ? Cadmium 21:15, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

GIF animation
Hi Mike

I noticed that you were the one who had uploaded Image:Geneva mechanism 6spoke animation.gif to WP. What a great animation! The reason why I'm writing is because I am wondering who you have achieved such a smooth motion. I recently uploaded Image:3-phase flow.gif, and the performance is disappointingly jerky. The frames of this animation were created in Inkscape, converted to PNG, imported into Photoshop, and then built into a 36-frame animation (10° steps) in Adobe ImageReady. If you could give me any pointers as to how the Geneva mechanism GIF was created, I would be grateful. Incidently, I would give some thought to nominating the image as a Featured picture. --BillC 22:50, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your response. My original version was 824x526 pixels. The performance of this in Firefox was so poor that I didn't think of uploading it in that form and shrunk it by 50% before uploading it. Strangely, it runs a lot better in IE. What I surprising is that some animated GIFs that are larger (in terms of file size) that this animation run more smoothly. I've uploaded the full-size version: it's at Image:3-phase flow large.gif. It's running jerkily there, but better when you click on 'Download high-resolution version'. If you could spare the time to see if you can optimise it, I'd appreciate it. Many thanks, --BillC 18:12, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

3D Studio Max
Do you still have the files you used in creating the gear animation? I haven't used 3D Studio Max before, but would like to create an animation. The easiest way to learn is probably to see working examples. — 0918 BRIAN • 2006-01-27 08:02

 * I've been looking at 3D Studio Max, and I know what I want to animate, I'm just not sure how to do a couple things: animating a string wrapped around a spindle, and animating a flexible diaphragm surface bending. I'm trying to do a 3D animation of this device (the first diagram).  — 0918 BRIAN  • 2006-02-6 04:20

So far, so good. I've tried searching for a tutorial on wire wrapped around a pulley, but couldn't find anything. My situation is a spool with a wire wrapped once completely around it. As the wire is pulled, the spindle turns. — 0918 BRIAN • 2006-02-8 02:47
 * I made a line, applied the rope reactor modifier, then added the line to a "rope collection", then i turned the cylinder into a rigid body, and attached the line to the rigid body... but I can't figure out how to get it to wrap around the cylinder. — 0918 BRIAN • 2006-02-8 03:21
 * Nevermind, I think I figured out how to do it with a helix spline. I'll bug you if I need help :) — 0918 BRIAN • 2006-02-8 15:21

Picture of the day/April 21, 2006
I've put a basic layout up for this image. I havn't come across the column versions etc much before - where are they normally used? Cheers, Mike1024 (t/c) 00:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * There are four versions, which can all be accessed from the archive pages Archive. POTD row is the version used on the Main Page.  POTD column is the version used on most of the Main Page alternatives, including the classic Main Page.  Picture of the day is the boxed version with caption, and is used on many user pages.  POTD is the boxed picture without the caption, and is also used mostly on user pages.  Thanks for the help.  --Go for it! 00:52, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

About the WikiBreak enforcer.
Its extremely easy to bypass. Anyone with a basic knowledge of Javascript will figure it out. Maybe using an external time server would do the trick? Anyway, even if someone doesnt know anything about javascript, they can easily look in the past versions of the page, where a few users tell how to bypass it. I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure that there is a way for admins to delete or hide previous versions of pages. May want to ask an admin about that or something. Cheers!

Alleged vandalism
Thanks for assuming bad faith. The reason i deleted that stuff is because it was over a year old and for the warwick proxy.

Color components (HSV, RGB)
Hi Mike. Nice work on the pictures you uploaded to HSV color space and RGB color model. I wanted to let you know that I edited the former as I felt it was a tad large. Feel free to revert the edit. Also, I played around with your concept in Borland Delphi for a few minutes... I came up with the following images after minor adjustments:

Image:Barn grand tetons hsv alternative.jpg Here the hue component is identical to your version, however I used the saturation and value components on a grayscale (black = 0, white = 1, as opposed to the white-red, black-red scales in your version).

Image:Barn_grand_tetons_rgb_alternative.jpg Here I used the color complements to represent 0, while you opted for black representing 0. I was hoping it would add a level of contrast.

Well, I am no artist so I leave it to you to decide if either image is more clear. No hard feelings if you decide yours should stay. (3ucky(3all 05:00, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi again Mike. Your points are well taken. I was viewing the page in a measly 1024x768 at the time =D. If you would prefer the components to be visible w/o scrolling, this can be achieved easily enough:

 * I also understand about keeping the math to the point. So far as showing the generator code is concerned, Delphi code does tend to be a little more long-winded than Mat-Lab code. The code for this program is 183 lines, although only about 10 of those are the program guts. I could probably upload a zipped executable & source code, but I am not entirely certain how to do so without a workaround (I uploaded [[Image:(remove .ogg extension) HSVRGB.rar.ogg]] if you would like to try out the executable, but it doesn't have much substance beyond entertainment value).

 * I will certainly have a look at YCbCr - I find color spaces are fascinating.

 * My version of YCbCr components follows. I used a similar scale as on the RGB components. Your version uses Teal-Rose / Olive-Pale Blue scale while mine uses a Cyan-Red / Yellow-Blue scale. I think it may be a matter of preference, but the murkiness goes away on my scale (which may make it unrealistic). FYI, see the scale comparison.
 * Image:YCbCrout.jpg
 * Image:Scale Comparison.PNG

 * Hi once again. You might be interested in the images I uploaded to CMYK color model and YIQ. I also have one final suggestion to you: for the YCbCr components, you may consider standardizing the Y component to 0 (as opposed to 128) for the Cb and Cr outputs. Doing so would generate an image like the one on the right, which seems to follow more closely with the intention of all of these illustrations (to get rid of the background and focus in on one component at a time). Thanks for collaborating with me; I now have a delphi library with conversion routines for all 7 of the color spaces we have discussed. Regards, (3ucky(3all 05:43, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Webcam Dir
Hi Mike. I'm the person who was working on the collaborative webcam directory for WeatherBonk. It's a personal project that allows users to add and modify and geocode webcams and is now well over 8000 cams. I spent sometime looking for a comprehensive cam directory and couldn't find anything nearly as comprehensive or useful. I thought this would be a very useful resource for people and didn't seem to violate wikipedia standards. Thanks david (weathermaps at gmail)

Hello, Mike1024. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:Freenet screenshot the freedom engine jan06.png) was found at the following location: User:Mike1024/gallery. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg, so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or    media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 04:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Could I buy your Canon XL H1?

 * Sorry, not interested. Mike1024 (t/c) 21:14, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Could you only then tell me how you replaced the microphone that way?

http://videosystems.com/mag/511VS_s.review-Canon.jpg -->>>

 * I don't have the camera handy right now, but I'd imagine it could be (1) Just replacing the wind muffler on the standard microphone; (2) Replacing the standard microphone with a different one using the same connector (it looks removable); (3) replacing the standard microphone with one connecting to Canon's "Advanced Accessory Shoe"; (4) Connected via XLR; or (5) Connected through XLR to the Canon MA300 Microphone Adapter, which is then connected to the "Advanced Accessory Shoe". I guess (1) or (2) are most likely, looking at the photo; I'd expect to see in the photo if it was (3), (4) or (5). Does this help? Mike1024 (t/c) 07:32, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:MATLAB screenshot showing sobel filtering of bitmap graphics.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:MATLAB screenshot showing sobel filtering of bitmap graphics.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 13:55, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:MATLAB screenshot showing sobel filtering of bitmap graphics.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MATLAB screenshot showing sobel filtering of bitmap graphics.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. After Midnight 0001 02:24, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Image:Steadicam and operator in front of crowd.jpg
Hi Mike1024, Thank you for uploading Image:Steadicam and operator in front of crowd.jpg! You didn't write who the uploader is. I expected that it was you who've taken the picture so I added you name to "author=". Please tell me on my Commons talk page if my presupposition was/is right. Thank you --D-Kuru (talk) 18:05, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the information about the authorship
 * Related to your comment & changes:
 * 1) No, I don't use a bot. I made the mistake Mike1024, because I uploaded Image:Steadi.jpg and Image:Steadycam.jpg from the german wikipedia to Commons. I just copied the text for all and I've forgotten to chenge it. On Image:Steadi.jpg I've added the :User but on Image:Steadycam.jpg, I've forgotten to add it. So thanks for remind me.
 * 2) I made a mistake by creating a correct inter wikilink to your userpage, but I used the right template. I shouldn't use when I upload a picture, but I haven't shot it. Thats one reason why  exists. That nobody could assume that the uploader is the author.
 * 3) An admin on Commons told me some time before that "|other_versions=" is only if you have another version of that picture (for example a cut one or if you replace the man's face by Bush's face or something like that).
 * --D-Kuru (talk) 11:42, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

1) read the words I wrote above again 2) Again why and not : PD-self say "I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby release it into the public domain. This applies worldwide." I haven't taken the image. You, Mike1024, have taken the image! "I" means (at least in the majority of cases) that uploader, but not the author. So, because I've uploaded the image, I have to use. If you would have uploaded the image to commons, you could/should use PD-self instead, because you've also taken it. marry christmas and a happy new year --D-Kuru (talk) 17:34, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Since your orbit diagram illustrates geostationary orbit, isn't it better if the image of the earth is shown from a polar view, instead of a eurocentric?

Work of art

A work of art, artwork, art piece, piece of art or art object is an artistic creation of aesthetic value. Except for "work of art", which may be used of any work regarded as art in its widest sense, including works from literature and music, these terms apply principally to tangible, physical forms of visual art: Used more broadly, the term is less commonly applied to:
 * An example of fine art, such as a painting or sculpture.
 * Objects in the decorative arts or applied arts that have been designed for aesthetic appeal, as well as any functional purpose, such as a piece of jewellery, many ceramics and much folk art.
 * An object created for principally or entirely functional, religious or other non-aesthetic reasons which has come to be appreciated as art (often later, or by cultural outsiders).
 * A non-ephemeral photograph or film.
 * A work of installation art or conceptual art.
 * A fine work of architecture or landscape design
 * A production of live performance, such as theater, ballet, opera, performance art, musical concert and other performing arts, and other ephemeral, non-tangible creations.

This article is concerned with the terms and concepts as used in and applied to the visual arts, although other fields such as aural-music and written word-literature have similar issues and philosophies. The term objet d'art is reserved to describe works of art that are not paintings, prints, drawings or large or medium-sized sculptures, or architecture (e.g. household goods, figurines, etc., some purely aesthetic, some also practical). The term oeuvre is used to describe the complete body of work completed by an artist throughout a career.

Definition
A work of art in the visual arts is a physical two- or three- dimensional object that is professionally determined or otherwise considered to fulfill a primarily independent aesthetic function. A singular art object is often seen in the context of a larger art movement or artistic era, such as: a genre, aesthetic convention, culture, or regional-national distinction. It can also be seen as an item within an artist's "body of work" or oeuvre. The term is commonly used by museum and cultural heritage curators, the interested public, the art patron-private art collector community, and art galleries.

Physical objects that document immaterial or conceptual art works, but do not conform to artistic conventions, can be redefined and reclassified as art objects. Some Dada and Neo-Dada conceptual and readymade works have received later inclusion. Also, some architectural renderings and models of unbuilt projects, such as by Vitruvius, Leonardo da Vinci, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Frank Gehry, are other examples.

The products of environmental design, depending on intention and execution, can be "works of art" and include: land art, site-specific art, architecture, gardens, landscape architecture, installation art, rock art, and megalithic monuments.

Legal definitions of "work of art" are used in copyright law; see .

Theories
Theorists have argued that objects and people do not have a constant meaning, but their meanings are fashioned by humans in the context of their culture, as they have the ability to make things mean or signify something. A prime example of this theory are the Readymades of Marcel Duchamp. Marcel Duchamp criticized the idea that the work of art must be a unique product of an artist's labour or skill through his "readymades": "mass-produced, commercially available, often utilitarian objects" to which he gave titles, designating them as artwork only through these processes of choosing and naming.

Artist Michael Craig-Martin, creator of An Oak Tree, said of his work – "It's not a symbol. I have changed the physical substance of the glass of water into that of an oak tree. I didn't change its appearance. The actual oak tree is physically present, but in the form of a glass of water."

Distinctions
Some art theorists and writers have long made a distinction between the physical qualities of an art object and its identity-status as an artwork. For example, a painting by Rembrandt has a physical existence as an "oil painting on canvas" that is separate from its identity as a masterpiece "work of art" or the artist's magnum opus. Many works of art are initially denied "museum quality" or artistic merit, and later become accepted and valued in museum and private collections. Works by the Impressionists and non-representational abstract artists are examples. Some, such as the readymades of Marcel Duchamp including his infamous urinal Fountain, are later reproduced as museum quality replicas.

Research suggests that presenting an artwork in a museum context can affect the perception of it.

There is an indefinite distinction, for current or historical aesthetic items: between "fine art" objects made by "artists"; and folk art, craft-work, or "applied art" objects made by "first, second, or third-world" designers, artisans and craftspeople. Contemporary and archeological indigenous art, industrial design items in limited or mass production, and places created by environmental designers and cultural landscapes, are some examples. The term has been consistently available for debate, reconsideration, and redefinition.

Busty Heart

Susan Sykes (born May 9, 1961) is a television personality and actress who has appeared in films such as The Dictator (alongside Sacha Baron Cohen and Sir Ben Kingsley) and Deported, as well as several television shows, who performs under the stage name Busty Heart.

Early life and education
Sykes is the daughter of an IBM executive and a school teacher. Sykes worked as an assistant at an investment firm and paralegal for a large law firm before her career in the entertainment business. Sykes graduated from the Dana Hall School in Wellesley, Massachusetts. She graduated from Pine Manor College in Brookline, Massachusetts, in 1979.

Career
Sykes earned the nickname "Busty Heart" in high school, by which point her oversized breasts had already developed. Her first claim to fame was as a spectator at a Boston Celtics game in 1986. She had been given free tickets to a Celtics game, which happened to be seated next to NBA prospect John Salley. As CBS's cameras spotted Salley in the crowd, Sykes shook her breasts at the camera, breaking Brent Musburger's attention and prompting him to break into laughter. Sykes, who had previously been self-conscious about her large breasts and had otherwise avoided public appearances because of them, soon “parlayed 15 seconds of fame into a 30-year-career” and became a regular at Celtics games. The Celtics won the 1986 NBA Finals and appeared in (but lost) the 1987 NBA Finals while Busty Heart was in the stands. She mostly ceased appearing at sporting events in 1990, when the St. Louis Cardinals management accused her of public lewdness after attending a Cardinals game.

She appeared on the season finale of America's Got Talent (NBC) on October 1, 2008. She also appeared on Rude Tube on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom in November 2008. Among her most famous television appearances, she was on Comedy Central's The Man Show, where she demonstrated her talent for crushing beer cans by slamming her breasts on top of them.

Busty Heart has done numerous TV shows, including Fox-TV's That's Just Wrong, The WB's Steve Harvey-hosted Steve Harvey's Big Time Challenge season finale, Endemol TV's Private Parts on Channel 5 in England, truTV's World's Dumbest, Bravo TV's Outrageous and Contagious Viral Videos, Fuji TV Tokyo Japan "2006 Bakademy Awards", E!'s Talk Soup, and 2007 Spike TV MANswers.

E! named a Busty Heart clip the #14 best video clip of 2005. On July 1, 2008, she demonstrated her "talents" on the third season of America's Got Talent, and received unanimous "No" votes. However, during 2010's German talent show Das Supertalent, she received all "yes" votes from the judges and even reached the semi-final round,(Top 40 out of 41.000 auditioners) where she missed the final because of the audience's voting. She later performed in Got Talent in other countries, such as Croatia, Czech Republic, Georgia and France

Busty Heart appeared in the film The Dictator; she plays the role of Etra, one of the titular dictator's bodyguards who uses her breasts as weapons. She appeared in the 2017 movie Deported as Paul's wife. She has also appeared in the E! television series Botched.

Since 1996, she has operated Busty Heart's Place, a strip club located in Turtlepoint, Pennsylvania.

Checked swing

A checked swing is a type of motion in baseball made by a batter, sometimes also referred to as a "check-swing" or "check swing". A checked swing is not an official term or call in baseball, such as a strike or ball, but is a common phrase used by commentators, fans, players, etc. to describe a situation in which a batter starts to swing the bat at a pitched ball, but stops the swing in order to allow the ball to pass without hitting it. The call or outcome of a so-called checked swing relies entirely on whether or not the umpire determines the motion to have been a swing (the batter was unsuccessful in "checking" their swing) or not to have been a swing (the batter successfully stopped or "checked" their swing). After the determination of whether or not a swing has occurred, regular rules governing the call of strikes or balls apply (see Possible outcomes...list])

How a checked swing is determined
Initially, the home plate umpire must determine if a swing was checked or not checked. If the umpire indicates that it was checked, an appeal can be made by the catcher or the manager, and the home plate umpire can then make a request to either the 1st or 3rd base umpire to make the call as to whether the swing was indeed checked. To maximize visibility, the 1st base umpire makes the call for right-handed batters, and the 3rd base umpire for left-handed batters. The umpire makes a "safe" gesture to indicate a checked swing or makes a clenched fist to indicate a full swing. However, if the home plate umpire initially indicates that the swing was not checked, no appeal can be made, and attempts to protest the ruling can be seen as arguing with the umpire over strikes or balls.

Importantly, the Major League Baseball rulebook does not contain an official definition for either a checked swing or even a "swing" at all. In a game, it is solely the decision of the umpire as to whether an attempt was made or not. Generally, factors such as whether the bat passes the front of the plate may be considered in the ruling. Some umpires prefer to use the "breaking the wrists" criterion as the method to decide a checked swing: if the wrists "rolled over", a swing occurred. Matt Snyder of CBS Sports wrote in 2019:"Now, for decades and decades, fans, players, media, umpires alike have come to accept a general idea of what constitutes a swing ('did he go?'), but it's not defined in the rulebook. We can talk about breaking wrists or the head of the bat clearing home plate or the barrel passing by the front of the body, but all of these ideas came about through generally accepted word of mouth. None of them have ever been officially defined by Major League Baseball."

When the ball does not touch the bat
If a pitch goes through the strike zone, it is ruled a strike regardless of if the swing was checked or not. If a pitch does not go through the strike zone and the umpire determines that the swing was successfully checked (meaning no swing occurred), the pitch is ruled a ball. If a pitch does not go through the strike zone but the umpire determines that the swing was not successfully checked (meaning a swing did occur), the pitch is ruled a strike.

When the ball touches the bat
A checked swing sometimes results in an unintentional swinging bunt, where the ball hits the bat and rolls a short distance, even though the batter is determined as having stopped the swing. If a pitch is hit during a checked swing, normal rules apply: the ball is in play as long as it is not foul.

Other
Checked swinging can also be used in some warm-up exercises, such as the game pepper.

Gjøvik Line

The Gjøvik Line (Gjøvikbanen) is a Norwegian railway line between Oslo and Gjøvik. It was originally named the North Line (Nordbanen) and ran between Grefsen and Røykenvik. The line was completed to Gjøvik in 1902. The Gjøvik Line was one of the first lines of the Norwegian railway system which was to be contracted on public service obligation, but it was the state owned Norges Statsbaner which won, operating it through its subsidiary Vy Gjøvikbanen.

The line
The lines is the smallest and least trafficked railway line from Oslo, and the only single track line in the capital. Like most other Norwegian railway lines, the entire 124 km long line is electrified at.

It serves some of the northern neighborhoods of Oslo, and has a few stations in the woods of Nordmarka. Further north the line serves the municipality of Nittedal. At Roa, the Roa–Hønefoss Line branches off to Hønefoss, where it continues as the Bergen Line. Formerly, most trains between Oslo and Bergen used this route, but nowadays most passenger trains run on the route through Drammen, which is slightly longer but which runs through more densely populated areas. Freight trains use the line over Roa, and sometimes passenger trains also use this line as a reserve line if the route from Hønefoss to Oslo via Drammen is temporarily closed. Further north, the Gjøvik Line runs through the district of Toten before ending at Gjøvik.

The Gjøvik Line formerly had three branch lines, the Røykenvik Line, the Valdres Line and the Skreia Line. All these lines are now closed.

Most of the service on the Gjøvik Line is provided by electric multiple units. The passenger routes are served by the newly (2006) redesigned Type 69D multiple units named Type 69G, rebuilt in Denmark by Danske Statsbaner (DSB).

Talk:Candelária massacre

A few points:

- I believe Candelaria would properly be written Candelária

- "Nojento" (disgusting) is spelt with a J; the article says "Nogento". It is possible that the kid's nickname was spelt like that, but given that the kid was a street kid I doubt his nickname was ever written down before the massacre, although it is conceivable that it is supposed to be spelt with a G. Sorry, no time to do research...

- Most importantly: there's more information about the later Sandro do Nascimento incident than about the massacre, including the links. This information should be moved to an article about that other event. --Cotoco 14:07:58, 2005-08-31 (UTC) the street will flow with the blood of the non believers candelaria from corpus is evil 433 breckenridge corpus christi tx.

Fascinating Article
I toned down the style a bit and requested some citations, but this is one fantastic entry. It does not need any hyperbole to be an important article. Please help expand! --Knulclunk 05:17, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

The notes about his sreaming about social justice and the citizens throwing garbage are not in the main Sandro Rosa do Nascimento article. Is that an oversight? or were those events only in the Bus174 movie? --Knulclunk 05:21, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Fate of Survivors
I see that someone cited the movie, Bus 174, for the statement, "eventually 39 of them were either killed by police or by elements of street life". But the way this is written now implies that the police killed a large number of the survivors to silence them. This may or may not be true, but we had better be sure before we put it in the article.
 * How many survivors were killed by police?
 * Elements of street life? Like, mugging, murder, drug overdose, suicide, police brutality, exposure?
 * How shortly after the Candelaria church massacre did the survivors die? 1 year? 5 years? even later?
 * Who was the social worker? Who did she work for?
 * --Knulclunk 15:59, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

How many convicted?
The intro paragraph states that two policemen were convicted, while the aftermath section states that only one was. Which is it? tildetildetildetilde —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.103.57.189 (talk) 06:09, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Thomas Bateson

Thomas Bateson, Batson or Betson (c.1570 – 16 March 1630) was an Anglo-Irish composer of madrigals and vocal church music in the early 17th century.

Life
Probably born in Cheshire, Bateson was organist of Chester Cathedral from 1599. He came to Dublin in April 1609 and served as organist and vicar choral at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin from 1609 until his death.

In 1612 Bateson was the first Bachelor of Music at Trinity College, Dublin, a degree for which he submitted a seven-voice anthem entitled Holy, Lord God Almighty. He is known to have written more church music, but only this anthem has survived.

His fame mainly rests on madrigals, which give him an important place among late Elizabethan and Jacobean composers. He published two sets of madrigals in 1604 and 1618, and both collections have been reprinted in 1922 and again in 1958–60. He died in Dublin.

Charles Cahier

Charles Cahier (26 February 1807 – 26 February 1882) was a French antiquarian, born in Paris on February 26, 1807.

Biography
He made his preparatory studies at the College of Saint-Acheul and entered the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) on September 7, 1824.

For some years he taught successively in its colleges at Paris, Brig in the Swiss canton of Valais, at Turin, and at Brugelette in Belgium. The greater part of his life, however, was devoted to the collection, classification, and interpretation of the countless treasures of medieval art surviving in France, Belgium, Germany, and elsewhere in Europe. They interested him not only as relics of its artistic skill, but chiefly as pieces of evidence of its Catholic faith.

As early as 1840 he began his collaboration with his Jesuit confrére, Arthur Martin, an excellent draughtsman, and chief collector of the mass of artistic material that Cahier classified and interpreted. Their first important work was a folio on the 13th century stained glass of the cathedral of Bourges, Monographie de la cathédrale de Bourges, première partie. Vitraux du XIIIe siècle (Paris, 1841–44); the substance of it is in Migne. Their most characteristic work is found in Mélanges d'archéologie, d'histoire, et de littérature etc. (Paris, 1848–59), four quarto volumes of illustrated dissertations on gold and silver church-plate, enamelled ware, carved ivories, tapestries, bas-reliefs, and paintings belonging to the Carolingian and Romanesque periods (9th to 12th century).

This contribution to the history of medieval art was followed later by four more volumes: Nouveaux mélanges d'archéologie, d'histoire, et de littérature sur le moyen-âge etc. (Paris, 1874–77), in the first volume of which is to be found a memoir of Martin by his collaborator. In the meantime, Cahier had published a monograph in two folio volumes on the saints as grasped by the popular imagination, Caractéristiques des saints dans l'art populaire (Paris, 1867). In spite of his numerous digressions and parentheses, says Joseph Brucker, and a somewhat neglected style, Cahier is never wearisome; a vein of kindly but caustic humor runs through his pages, in which about pungent words and phrases, dictated, however, by candour and the love of truth. He was deeply versed in all kinds of curious medieval lore, and particularly in the "people's calendar" or every-day usages and customs connected with the liturgical life of the Catholic church. He also wrote studies on Christmas and on Epiphany in Amide la religion (Paris, 1848–1849), and in his Calendrier populaire du temps passé in Revue de l'art chrétien (Paris, 1878).

He died in Paris on February 26, 1882.

Talk:Rand (Breath of Fire 2 character)

Varying information
S Luke and I seem to be having trouble agreeing on the bios of different Breath of Fire 2 characters, especially Rand. For instance, every bio of him I've seen says that he's of the Shell Clan and is 31, yet he insists that he's of the Crust tribe and is 21. Please, show me your sources.
