History
Henry Ford Jackson Hospital was founded in 1918 as W.A. Foote Memorial Hospital when a local citizen, Mrs. Ida Foote, donated land for construction of the new hospital in honor of her late husband, W.A. Foote.

Mercy Hospital opened in 1918. Sister Hynes was one of its founders, serving as its first mother superior. She belonged to the Sisters of Mercy, a Catholic order of nuns dedicated to the sick and needy. In its heyday, the hospital held 213 beds and 40 bassinets.

In 1975, it was purchased by Foote Hospital for $2.5 million, and changed its name to Foote West. Foote West closed in 1984 after a new hospital was built on E. Michigan Avenue. The Lansing Avenue building was demolished in 1989, and a memorial was erected in 1997. The property was given to Jackson County in 1998. It is the current site of the Jackson County Medical Care Facility that opened November 2002.

Jackson Osteopathic Hospital served Jackson and its surrounding communities as a short-term acute care hospital From June 1943 to 1988. With the addition of MDs to the staff; Jackson Osteopathic Hospital became Doctors Hospital in 1988. In the late 1990s, the hospital became part of Borgess and remained a short-term acute care hospital until 2003. It was then converted into a long-term acute care hospital (LTACH) called CareLink of Jackson as a joint venture of Borgess and Foote Health System. In 2010, Allegiance Health (Formally Foote Health System) purchased Burgess's share to become the sole owner.

The current hospital facility was completed in 1983 and is located near the site of the original hospital. The former hospital, now named the Charles Anderson Building, is used for specialized practices such as sleep disorders, behavioral health, and volunteer services.

In July 2008, Foote Health System was renamed Allegiance Health. The system was later renamed Henry Ford Allegiance Health on April 5, 2016.

Acquisition
In December 2013, Allegiance Health and the University of Michigan Health System announced that they had signed a letter of intent for Allegiance to become absorbed by the University of Michigan. It was expected that the arrangement would take 18 months to finalize. By November 2014, Allegiance announced they were not able to come to an agreement and would be looking for other partner organizations.

On November 10, 2015, Allegiance announced an agreement to join the Henry Ford Health System The acquisition completed on April 1, 2016.

Talk:Recurring Final Fantasy creatures

Uh... I'd contest the validity of the statement that Final Fantasy 8 was the first Final Fantasy game in which summons were important to the storyline. Has the author of this statement played 6 at all? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.29.33.92 (talk • contribs) 02:41, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree that this is not right, but this whole Final Fantasy bestiary articles is kind of a work in progress right now. Plus, the author of this particular statement never played Final Fantasy VI, so he could not know, the thing to do in this case, when you're certain that you're right, is to simply do the change. And I only mean when you're certain.--DarkEvil 03:33, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Just a comment, but doesn't IVj focus on summons somewhat? Rydia's the one who gets the plot moving. 69.251.191.91 19:56, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't Tiamat in Final Fantasy VIII be considered a boss as well? I'd certainly do, but it's debatable. Rantzien 21:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC)Rantzien

Live at the Regal

Live at the Regal is a 1965 live album by American blues guitarist and singer B.B. King. It was recorded on November 21, 1964, at the Regal Theater in Chicago. The album is widely heralded as one of the greatest blues albums ever recorded and was ranked at number 141 in Rolling Stone's 2003 edition of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list, before dropping to number 299 in a 2020 revision. In 2005, Live at the Regal was selected for permanent preservation in the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress in the United States.

Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, John Mayer and Mark Knopfler are among musicians who have used the album as a primer before performances.

The album was included in Robert Christgau's "Basic Record Library" of 1950s and 1960s recordings—published in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981) —and in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

It was voted number 604 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums 3rd Edition (2000). In the same book it was number 6 in the Top 50 Blues albums of All-Time.

Recording
Live at the Regal was recorded on November 21, 1964, at the Regal Theater in Chicago, a venue King claimed to have played at "hundreds of times before". King's backing band consisted of Duke Jethro on the piano, Leo Lauchie on the bass, Kenneth Sands on the trumpet, Johnny Board and Bobby Forte on the tenor saxes, and Sonny Freeman on the drums. Jethro was originally scheduled to play the organ, but after his organ broke, King instructed Jethro to play the piano. When Jethro said he did not know how to play the piano, King replied "Well, just sit there and pretend — that's what you do most of the time anyway!"

Talk:Quasi-rent

Is this the same as "variable costs" (vs. fixed costs)?

Some unanswered questions after reading this article on Feb 1st, 2009: It seems that quasi rents as compared to normal rents involves an issue of short term versus long term unit of analysis. Can someone elaborate on this? Maybe this relates to the difference between absolute value and marginal value. In a lot of articles the concepts of "rent" and "value" are used interchangeably. Can someone explain the relationship precisely? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Axiomofnochoice (talk • contribs) 19:24, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

The Kings

The Kings are a Canadian rock band formed in 1977 in Oakville, Ontario. They are best known for their 1980 song "This Beat Goes On/Switchin' To Glide", which was a hit in the United States and Canada.

Recording history
The Kings were formed in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Oakville, Ontario in the late 1970s. The original lineup included David Diamond, bass, lead vocals; Mister Zero (aka John Picard, listed as Aryan Zero in the original "Kings Are Here" LP liner notes), guitar; Sonny Keyes, keyboards and vocals; and Max Styles (drums), with Zero and Diamond serving as the main songwriters with contributions from Keyes. The Kings were originally known as WhistleKing and rehearsed, performed club gigs, and wrote a considerable number of songs for more than three years.

In early 1980, the band went into Nimbus 9 Studio in Toronto to record their first album. While recording, renowned producer Bob Ezrin visited the studio, listened to the band, and liked what he heard. Together they created the album The Kings Are Here with the songs "This Beat Goes On" and "Switchin' To Glide", The double-A side single spent 23 weeks on the U.S. charts, peaking at #43 on the Billboard Hot 100. On superstation WLS-AM in Chicago, the song peaked at number nine during January 1981. It reached #59 in Canada. Two other singles followed, including "Don't Let Me Know" which only reached #109 on Billboard, and the band began touring extensively with Bob Seger, Jeff Beck, The Beach Boys and Eric Clapton. During 1980, their rising commercial fortunes culminated in an appearance on Dick Clark's American Bandstand, and the closing spot at the major Heatwave festival in August.

Amazon Beach, the 1981 follow-up to The Kings Are Here, produced little in the way of sales, and the band was soon dropped from their label, Elektra Records. The Kings soldiered on and released the EP R.S.V.P and the live album Party Live '85 on their own Dizzy label, while continuing to tour Canada and the US throughout the remainder of the 1980s. Max Styles left the band in approximately 1982.

Comebacks
The late 1980s were a difficult period for The Kings as they lost their drummer and their record label. As it was, the group was on the verge of a major revival as the single "This Beat Goes On" and "Switchin' To Glide" became a huge radio hit in Chicago once again, getting major play on all of the main rock stations: Classic rock WCKG, Alternative rock WXRT, and Mainstream Rock WLUP, as well as Top 40 powerhouse WLS-AM. The unavailability of the Kings records led Chicago DJ Bob Stroud of WLUP to record his own version of the single with his band Rockestra. Elektra Records unfortunately remained unaware of the burgeoning hit and never reissued the single or album.

The single "Parting of the Ways" appeared on Bullseye Records compilation Unsigned, Sealed and Delivered in 1991. This comeback prompted The Kings to return to the studio to record Unstoppable produced by John Punter, David Diamond and Mister Zero in 1993. Unstoppable produced several hits in Canada including "Lesson To Learn", "Shoulda Been Me", "Tonight I Got You", "Parting Of The Ways", and the title track "Unstoppable". A phone call in 1999 from Mister Zero to Alan Fletcher at Warner Canada led to the green light needed for Warner to re-issue The Kings Are Here...and More which allowed fans to get their songs "This Beat Goes On" and "Switchin' to Glide" on CD, which was fully remastered from the original 2 track tapes by Zero. ...and More also contained a few re-mixed tracks from Unstoppable and two previously unreleased tracks - "If the Stars Come Out Tonight" and "Right to the Top". A remixed and more mature version of "If the Stars Come Out Tonight" appeared on Because Of You released in 2003 on Bullseye Records. Combined original sales and CD sales have passed the platinum mark in Canada but no certification is allowed because of the bonus tracks on the CD, which are the only way the band makes money from that project.

Throughout the remainder of the 1990s, The Kings toured around Toronto, but Sonny Keyes' role diminished and only Mister Zero and David Diamond consistently remained from the original lineup, continuing to call on Keyes as needed.

Drummer Atilla Turi and keyboard players Peter Nunn and Rich Roxborough joined Mister Zero and David Diamond on the abovementioned Because of You album (Josh Broadbent - Diamond's son - was also recruited into The Kings to contribute his vocals). Because of You would be The Kings' strongest effort to date, with Harry Hess recording alongside producers Zero and Diamond. A video was made for the title track, "It's Up to You" and "The Fools Are in Love," the last of which was remixed from the original version that appeared on the Amazon Beach release. Sonny Keyes co-wrote "A Way You'll Never Be" with Mister Zero.

A reunion of the original lineup of The Kings occurred in the winter of 2001 with Max Styles and Sonny Keyes joining their old mates for Alan Frew's (Glass Tiger) children's benefit concert for Camp Trillium in Toronto. They played the benefit concert again in 2002.

In late 2005, The Kings had a full length reunion concert in Toronto which was filmed for inclusion in the DVD documentary being assembled by Mister Zero. The first part of this film to be seen is the video for "This Beat Goes On" and "Switchin' to Glide," released in October 2006.

Another focus for The Kings was to put as many songs as possible on iTunes, thus having the catalog available worldwide instantly. The album The Kings Anthology One is the latest addition, 12 songs from different eras including never before heard songs from the band's WhistleKing days.

The Kings continue to play live shows across southern Ontario and, from time to time, the northern United States. They released a documentary about their career, more specifically about "This Beat Goes On / Switchin' to Glide" on YouTube in November, 2017.

In popular culture
In 2017, Milwaukee sports radio station 105.7 FM The Fan began using "Switchin’ to Glide" for the Milwaukee Baseball Post Game Show. Host Tim Allen began playing the song starting in May when the Brewers got off to a hot start. After every win Allen played the chorus of "This Beat Goes On" as the team's unofficial anthem.

In 2020, American band the Cherry Poppin' Daddies released a cover of "Switchin' to Glide" as a standalone single, accompanied by a music video.

Frank Eugene Hook

Frank Eugene Hook (May 26, 1893 – June 21, 1982) was a politician from the U.S. state of Michigan.

Early life
Hook was born in L'Anse, Michigan and graduated from L'Anse High School in 1912. He attended the College of Law of the University of Detroit and graduated from the law department of Valparaiso University in 1918. He served in the United States Army Infantry during World War I from July 1918 until February 1919.

After the war, he was employed in lumber woods and as an iron ore miner and also as a law clerk at Wakefield, Michigan, 1919–1924. He was a member of the board of supervisors of Gogebic County, 1921–1923. Admitted to the bar in 1924, he commenced practice in Wakefield. He was admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court in 1936. He also served as city commissioner of Wakefield from 1921 to 1923 and as municipal judge of Wakefield in 1924 and 1925.

Hook moved to Ironwood in 1925 and continued the practice of law. He was president of WJMS Radio Station in Ironwood, 1930–1933 and was a delegate to Democratic National Conventions in 1936, 1940, 1944, and 1948.

Political career
In 1934, Hook was the Democratic Party candidate from Michigan's 12th congressional district for the U.S. House of Representatives. Hook defeated incumbent Republican W. Frank James in the general election to be elected to the 74th Congress and to the three succeeding Congresses, serving from January 3, 1935 to January 3, 1943. In 1942, Hook lost in the general election to Republican John B. Bennett (having previously defeated him in 1938 and 1940). In 1944, Hook defeated Bennett to reclaim the seat in the 79th Congress, serving from January 3, 1945 to January 3, 1947. He lost the seat again to Bennett in 1946. In 1948, he made an unsuccessful bid to be elected the United States Senate, losing to Republican Homer Ferguson.

Hook served under Presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman. He voted to declare war upon Japan, when Congress was convened upon the attack on Pearl Harbor. Hook was instrumental in the establishment of Social Security and the minimum wage — part of Roosevelt's New Deal. He also proposed a bill to establish the Isle Royale National Park, located in Lake Superior and had the honor of dedicating it in August 1946.

In 1940, Hook alleged in Congress that Martin Dies had ties to William Dudley Pelley, the leader of a fascist organization, the Silver Legion of America. However, unbeknownst to him, the documents Hook used to make his case turned out to be forgeries.

Hook's moniker "Fightin' Frank," earned from high school days, was reinforced once again during an infamous bout on the floor of Congress. His nemesis, John Rankin of Mississippi, drew his ire, but could not cull a punch, as Hook was later quoted, "A gentleman cannot strike an old man." The wrassling match was physically initiated by Rankin jumping on Hook's back on Washington's birthday in 1945, during the session. The skirmish was the end result of a verbal exchange between Hook & Rankin concerning the former's support and the latter's denouncement of the C.I.O. Rankin hollered shouts of "communism!" while Hook defended the integrity of the organization. As to the disruption, Hook later recited a 3-minute apology, while Rankin maintained his own innocence. When Hook offered to resign if Rankin would also "...for the good of the country," Rankin "held his tongue" and the controversial exchange faded into obscurity.

Hook was a member of the President's Fair Employment Practices Committee in 1943 and 1944 and was appointed a member of Motor Carrier Claims Commission October 1, 1949, serving until his resignation August 22, 1950. He made several unsuccessful attempts to reclaim a seat in the U.S. House from the 12th district, losing in 1954 to Bennett in the general election, losing in 1956 and 1958 to Joseph S. Mack in the Democratic primary elections. In 1966, he lost to incumbent Raymond F. Clevenger in the Democratic primary for the 11th district.

Later life
He resumed the practice of law in Detroit and in 1953 moved to Ironwood where he reestablished his law practice. He was admitted to the Wisconsin bar in 1962 and was a resident of Edina, Minnesota, at the time of his death. He is interred in Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Hasbrouck Heights High School

Hasbrouck Heights High School is a comprehensive four-year public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades from Hasbrouck Heights and Teterboro in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as the lone high school of the Hasbrouck Heights School District.

The district serves students from Teterboro, a non-operating district that was merged into the Hasbrouck Heights School District following its dissolution on July 1, 2010.

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 547 students and 42.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.9:1. There were 57 students (10.4% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 27 (4.9% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.

Awards, recognition and rankings
The school was the 138th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology. The school had been ranked 72nd in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 107th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed. The magazine ranked the school 82nd in 2008 out of 316 schools. The school was ranked 92nd in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which included 316 schools across the state. Schooldigger.com ranked the school tied for 49th out of 381 public high schools statewide in its 2011 rankings (a decrease of 14 positions from the 2010 ranking) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the mathematics (93.2%) and language arts literacy (96.6%) components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).

Athletics
The Hasbrouck Heights Aviators participate in the Meadowlands Conference of the North Jersey Interscholastic Conference, which comprises small-enrollment schools in Bergen, Hudson, Morris and Passaic counties, and was created following a reorganization of sports leagues in Northern New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA). Prior to realignment that took effect in the fall of 2010, Hasbrouck Heights was a part of the Bergen County Scholastic League. With 418 students in grades 10–12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2019–20 school year as Group I for most athletic competition purposes, which included schools with an enrollment of 75 to 476 students in that grade range. The school was classified by the NJSIAA as Group I North for football for 2022–2024, which included schools with 184 to 471 students. The team nickname is the Aviators.

The school participates in joint boys / girls swimming teams with Garfield High School as the host school / lead agency. These co-op programs operate under agreements scheduled to expire at the end of the 2023–24 school year.

Baseball
The baseball team won the North I, Group I state sectional championship in 2007, topping Verona High School by a score of 7–4 in the tournament final.

In 2021, the team defeated Kinnelon High School for the North I, Group I state sectional championship by a score of 6–2.

Girls' basketball
In 2015, the girls' basketball team won the North I, Group I state sectional championship with a 40-27 victory against Wood-Ridge High School in the tournament final, the first state title for any of the school's basketball teams.

Football
The football team was awarded the North I Group I sectional championship by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association in 1945, 1946, 1947 1952, 1954 (as co-champion), 1955, 1962, 1964, 1968, 1969 and 1972. Since the playoff system was introduced in 1974, the team has won the NJSIAA North I Group I state sectional championship in 1975, 1976, 1994, 2007, 2016 and 2017 and won the North II Group I title in 2018. Hasbrouck Heights High School has won a total of 18 Group I state sectional championships, 11 which were awarded by the NJSIAA and seven won by playoff. In 1969, the Aviators went undefeated at 9–0, setting a county record after scoring 478 points and earning top-ten rankings nationally and the top spot in the state.

In 1975, the Heights team went 10–0–1 and won the North I, Group I state sectional title by defeating Ridgefield Memorial High School 22-6 in the championship game in the second year that the NJSIAA held playoffs for sectional titles. They were also the BCSL National champions that season. In 1976, the 11–0 Heights Aviators repeated as North I, Group I sectional champions by defeating Mahwah High School in the finals and were the league champions of the BCSL National. In 1994, the Heights team went 10–1 and won the North I, Group I state sectional championship by defeating North Arlington High School by a score of 14–6 at the tournament final at Giants Stadium.

In 2007, the team finished the season with 12–0 record after winning the North I, Group I state sectional championship with a 26-16 win over New Milford High School, in a game played at Giants Stadium. The team also won the BCSL Olympic league championship.

The team won the North I, Group I state sectional title in 2016 with a 30–12 win against New Milford High School in the tournament final.

In 2017, the team won its second consecutive North I, Group I state sectional title—its sixth overall in the playoff era—with a 39–14 win against sixth-seeded Pompton Lakes High School in the final game of the playoffs, played at Kean University.

The team won their third consecutive sectional title in 2018, winning the North II Group I title with a 13–7 win against Malcolm X Shabazz High School in the finals of the playoff tournament and went on to win the North Group I bowl game with a 41–7 win against Butler High School.

The Hasbrouck Heights football Aviators natural rival by geographic location are the Wood-Ridge High School Blue Devils. The two programs had one of the state's longest Thanksgiving Day rivalry games dating back to 1941, and lasting until a final game in the series in 2009, after which realignment prevented a continuation of the match-up. Hasbrouck Heights had an overall 55–12–1 record in the Thanksgiving Day match-up with Wood-Ridge, including a 21-year Thanksgiving Day game winning streak.

Girls' soccer
The joint Hasbrouck Heights/Wood-Ridge High School soccer team won the North I Group II state sectional championship in 2008 with a 2–0 win against Glen Rock High School.

Tennis
In 1968, the men's tennis team had a perfect 17-0 record. They won the BCSL title and became the only men's sports team to go undefeated for an entire season.

In 2013, the top-ranked boys' tennis team beat Cedar Grove High School by 3–2 to claim the North I Group I state sectional title.

Wrestling
The recreation level wrestling program was established in the 1970s. In 1976, heavyweight Bill Spindler became the school's first NJSIAA state champion, pinning each of his opponents on his way to the gold medal.

The Aviators captured their first North I Group I state sectional championship in 1989 after a one-sided victory over defending champion Waldwick High School. The team was back-to-back champions in 1990, and won again in 1993 and 1995, before winning on North II Group I in 2006 and 2007. For their accomplishments, the 1989 team was elected to the Hasbrouck Heights Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005.

In 2001, Morgan Horner won the 189 lb. weight class at the NJSIAA championships defeating the defending champion. This accomplishment earned Horner the award for the championship's Most Outstanding Wrestler.

The 2006 team won the state North II, Group I sectional title. The 2007 team repeated as North II, Group I state sectional championship with a 46–16 win vs. Madison High School.

Girls' track & field
The spring track program won state sectional championships in 1994 and 1998.

Boys' track & field
The boys' outdoor team won state sectional titles in 1970, 1994, 2006, and have finished 2nd in the state group championships in 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010. The 2010 boys' 4 × 400 team won the league, county group, state sectional, and state group championships, setting new meet records in the county and state sectional.

The boys' track team won the 2011 Group I indoor relay championships.

Pilot's Log
The high school publishes Pilot's Log, an award-winning student newspaper. At the 2006 National Scholastic Press Association Fall National High School Journalism Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, Pilot's Log earned the highest accolade of "best in show" for newspapers with 13–16 pages, from all high schools, regardless of size. The newspaper staff also won a National Pacemaker Award for the publication, one of 26 high school publications nationwide to be recognized, unofficially known as the "Pulitzer Prizes of student journalism".

Theatrical performances
Every school year, a selected performance is created by students under the supervision of the school's communications teacher Erin Schneeweiss. A different play is performed every year.

Music
The school holds a concert three times during the school year in which the concert band and jazz band, directed by Joseph Ascolese, perform. The marching band, also directed by Ascolese, recently came in first place in Best Music as well as Best Effect during the 2012 USSBA Competition.

Administration
The principal is Linda Simmons. Her administration team includes the vice principal.

Talk:Status effect

List of status effects
Is it really necessary to list every status effect conceivable? I think this article would benefit from some parsimony. To me, it makes a lot more sense to list a set of example status effects common to many games, and then list what status effects are in a game in that game's own article. 24.181.238.254 16:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you're right Андрей Кромсан (talk) 23:49, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

WikiProject Final Fantasy?
Status Ailments/Status effects do not belong solely to any particular genre of video games; this includes FF.
 * Agreed, however FF really started much of the use of stauts ailment in games, and is ever present in the genre. Derktar 18:04, 5 December 2005 (UTC).

I guess her/his point is that, unless every NON-FF facts are removed from the article it cannot be classified as "WikiProject Final Fantasy" I think sie's right... -- Requiem the 18th (email)
 * I think this article needs to become Status effect (Final Fantasy) and be solely about the FF status effects if it is to make such frequent references to the game. I also feel this article should be pruned of most of its specific game references, except where they are notable (game of origination, or use in pop culture), in order to be most usefull to the video game category at large. --Bakkster Man 21:54, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Except that it doesn't concern only Final Fantasy. Nearly every Console RPG, and even some Computer ones, use status effects.  Final Fantasy is only mentioned so much because, Suprise! Damn near everybody knows of it, so most people think of it first.  -- SAMAS
 * Indeed, it will probably be difficult to find any RPG/CRPG/cRPG that does not have any form of “attribute up” effect, even though most games don’t call this a “status effect” but just “attribute bonus” (or something similar). --TowerDragon 23:49, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * We still have a problem. A significant portion of the article fels as if it is written specifically for Final Fantasy, like the part about Protect/shell. It could use cleanup. Metakraid 03:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

As I experienced, at least in Hungary, many people mix the words "Dispel" and "Debuff". So While a player uses an attack that also dispels the target (which as I know means, sets off all BUFFs) The target then is berserked that, WHY DID YOU DEBUFF ME? Well, the Article tells the Debuff's meaning, which is clear, that has nothing to do with Dispel, although Dispel sets Buffs off, Dispel won't cause negative effects (I mean the Dispel which has no other special effects, so not a Special Skill, simply Dispel magic or skill that Dispels, but causes no other status effects) :) Are there people who mix this elsewhere? If yes, know this:) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abyss Ammadelch (talk • contribs) 19:23, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Suggest use of tables
I think the list can be a bit more organized if a Wikitable were to be used. It could contain columns such as name (common and aliases), effect, and a how to cure (commonly). Also, I don't think attribute increasers should count, as they directly affect attributes, whereas I'd think a status effect is a modifier to a damage formula. -- XenoL-Type 11:34, 26 May 2006 (UTC -7)

To put a sample up..

-- XenoL-Type 12:55, 30 May 2006 (UTC +9)

 * I'll take a look into it after we clear up this merger mess.
 * In addition, however, I originally indluded the Attribute Up/Down listings(originally called Attack/Defense UP/DOWN), because in some games, such as Phantasy Star Online, they are specific status effects. SAMAS

Definition??
The definition given here isn’t very helpful. Maybe I am getting something wrong, but at first glance the description “A status effect is a modification to a character’s condition” gives me a more general term (a genus in the sense of a genus-differentia definition) but nothing distinguishing a status effect from other modifications to a character’s condition (no differentia). Also, it is not clear what “a character’s condition” might be.

If, on the other hand, condition = status, and modification ≈ effect, the “definition” translates to “a status effect is something that affects a character’s status” – not particularly helpful either.

So I guess, a better definition might be:
 * A status effect is any effect in a computer or video game that changes a game character’s state.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong or change the main article accordingly. (Other effects would then affect non-character game objects, right?)

— TowerDragon 02:52, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

 * To my mind, a "status effect" should be temporary, or at least reversible. So if you receive a stat enhancement from gaining a level or equipping an item, that would not be a status effect. 209.210.225.6 04:25, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Proposed merger from Buff (MMORPG terminology)
“Buff” and “debuff” are (apparently MMORPG-specific) terms for beneficial and harmful status effects, respectively. So, the “Buff” page would be just a dictionary entry, and status effect appears to be the more general term and should thus be used as the page title. --TowerDragon 22:30, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

 * IMO, Buff is the more commonly used term, and thus it should stay. The standard is to use the more common term for the article and redirect others into it.  I've never heard the "Can anyone status effect me!"  :)  Wikibofh(talk) 23:16, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

 * OK, a Google search reveals nearly half a million (492000) results for “debuff” (including the last name “DeBuff”), the majority of which (326000) appear together with “World of Warcraft” / “EverQuest” / “Dark Age of Camelot” / “Asheron's Call” / “MMORPG”. (Counting results for “buff” is futile because of the word’s broad meaning.) This is in contrast to only 57000 for “status effect” (and many of those seem not to be concerned with gaming). In addition, status effect seems to be a rather technical term, while buff/debuff is more colloquial. So indeed, “buff” and “debuff” appear to be the more commonly used terms (if only due to the popularity of MMORPGs).
 * Funny, I just Googled Status Effect, and got just over two million hits. I narrowed it down by adding "+RPG" to it, and still got well over a million.  SAMAS 13:24, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The trick is not to google for "status" and "effect" (input 'status effect') but for "status effect" (input '"status effect"', that is, enclose the term in double quotation marks). Otherwise, you get all kind of stuff but little with the phrase "status effect" in it: like so —TowerDragon 19:09, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * But the Wikipedia naming convention is to “use the most common name of a person or thing that does not conflict with the names of other people or things.” Well, “buff” clearly does conflict with names of other people or things (see buff), that’s why the relevant article is named “Buff (MMORPG terminology)” and “Buff” is a disambiguation page. So IMO the simpler title (that does not need disambiguating parantheses) should be preferred. --TowerDragon 22:47, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I'm not registered here or anything, but as someone who's played MMORPGs for several years now, I've never heard the term "status effect" used this way. "Buff" and "Debuff" are used by both players and developers (Blizzard Entertainment, World of Warcraft game manual, the GuildWiki Guild Wars player community). --

—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.69.75.115 (talk • contribs) 02:34, August 2, 2006

 * Per discussion here, and research boff is more common. A month of discussion seems reasonable.  Article merged to buff.  Wikibofh(talk) 03:04, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yuck. Almost the entire top half of the original Status Effect article is completely cut off, resulting in a serious loss of non-MMO status effect information.  Temporarily de-merged, at least until tomorrow, when I or someone else can do a merge that doesn't look like it was done with barbed wire and a rusty chainsaw.  Unfortunately, I'm too tired to do it now.  SAMAS 03:30, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok. I'll give it a few days, then I'll do the merge and make it a full history merge.  Wikibofh(talk) 03:38, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I still prefer the "status effect" terminology. It's more technical, and, even if it's not the most common term in MMORPGs, it still seems to be the most universally applicable term: most MMORPGers would recognize it, whereas the terms "buff" and "debuff" are almost never used in non-online RPGs. Using myself as an entirely non-representative sample, I've been gaming offline since 1986, and never heard the latter terms until coming here. If nothing else, "status effect" is used in far more games (off the top of my head, I can think of the Might and Magic series, the Wizardry series, the Ultima series, the Dragon Quest series, the Final Fantasy series, and the Pokemon series, which is, IIRC, still the most popular C/cRPG ever produced). Besides which, I'm getting the same results as SAMAS: approximately 1.2 million Google results for "status effect+RPG". – Sean Daugherty (talk) 15:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * About the Google search, see my note above. Nevertheless, I, too, prefer the term "status effect", for the reasons stated above. —TowerDragon 19:15, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This and This are NOT same. And using results from second search to support statement that "status effects" is used more often is fallacious. I really don't see whats wrong with having 2 different articles. Buffs should concern itself only with MMORPGS while Status effects would concern only non-online games. Nobody on MMORPGs uses "status effect", and no offline game uses "Buffs". Excise FF information from Buffs article and leave both of them separate is my opinion. Shinhan 10:22, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

As of 06:54, 1 September 2006 (UTC), the definitions of both terms are: So, the differences are: Conclusion: buff and positive status effect on the one hand and debuff and negative status effect on the other hand are synonyms, denoting the same respective concepts in different domains of discourse (MMORPGS vs. non-online games). Of course, the precise list of effects used will depend on the game in question, and no two games will have the same list of status effects / buffs / debuffs. Nevertheless, there is significant overlap in the lists of effects from both articles. I cannot see two articles essentially describing the same thing should be kept separate. The naming of the article is another issue, though, but I cannot imagine somone (who doesn’t already know the article) typing in “Buff (MMORPG terminology)”, so they will just look for Buff and get the dab page that can direct them to the appropriate article. Therefore, and for the reasons I stated above, I still vote for status effect as the title of a single, merged, article.
 * “A status effect is a modification to a game character’s original set of properties that usually comes into play when special powers and abilities (such as spells) are used, often during combat.”
 * “Buff is a term generically used in many MMORPGs to describe an effect (usually cast as a spell) which beneficially enhances the target PC or NPC [and] a debuff is an effect that may negatively impact a [PC] or [NPC] in some way other than directly dealing damage.” In other words:
 * “Buffs and debuffs, in MMORPG terminology, are effects which beneficially enhance or negatively impact (in some way other than directly dealing damage), respectively, the target game character[’s original set of properties] and that usually come into play when spells are used.
 * Buff/debuff are used in MMORPGs while status effect is used in other games.
 * The definitions for debuff explicitly excludes directly dealing damage. I suppose this is also true for negative status effects but has just not been made explicit.
 * The status effect definition explicitly generalizes spells to special powers and abilities. I suppose this, too, is also true for buffs/debuffs but has just not been made explicit.

— TowerDragon 06:54, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll agree with that. SAMAS 16:57, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

This seems like an old discussion, yet the page keeps showing the "It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with..." thing. This article looks way cleaner than the Buff, and i also think this name "Status Effect" its a better name for this term. So, unless someone wants to add something im gonna remove the merging comment by the start of the next week. Lord Juan 15:37, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Some references that show this term is not made up
So I see no reason to keep the “original research” template. --TowerDragon 23:37, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * RPGtoolkit Help — Editor Guide — Status Effect Editor
 * Final Fantasy IX Status Effect FAQ (dated 22/9/01)
 * Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles page on WarCry (dated 05/07/04)
 * Pokémon Adventures Status Effect Guide (dated 3/7/2001)

Although I cannot reference it directly, it should be noted that RPG video game manuals tend to call the term "status effect", "status ailment" or "status abnormality". Some player's guides I have also refer this as "status effect" (Parasite Eve's 1 and 2). -- XenoL-Type 21:43, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Just get a published strategy guide (like one from Prima Games) that mentions the term "status effect" and use that as a reference at least. Published hard-copy sources are better references. See WP:RS for more info. -Eekerz (talk) 05:17, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Cleaner merge?
Why not simply update it over at Buff? What exactly are you looking for? You want a history merge? Wikibofh(talk) 03:28, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Not quite. The merge amputated a good deal of information on the non-mmo effects.  Status Effect and the related terms have been around just as long, if not longer, than Buff/Debuff, and the Status Effects themselves certainly predate the MMO term.  I'm about to go to bed right now, but I plan on doing a better merge tomorrow.  SAMAS 03:32, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Idea, put the "Buff" terminology explanation on top, debuff underneath, and list under that. This way it'll look like it defines the types, their general effects, and then it'd get specific with what kinds of buffs and debuffs (if you will) are in the RPG world. -- XenoL-Type 20:52, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

 * The only reason I had them seperate in the first place was because Buffs and Debuffs in most MMORPG's seem to be treated differently than they do in the single-player games. I don't play MMO's(yet), but from what I've heard from talking to those who do, they seem to be different in use. SAMAS 23:17, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually I think I might get what you mean. Buffs and debuffs in MMORPGs mostly serve to change the base attributes of a chracter temporarily (such as raise attack, lower defense, etc). I kind of feel like they're akin to most of the DnD effects of spells (this will cause a change of 2d10 in your attack or whatever). I mean, I go look at Diablo II, the only status effect I seen on the list that I could apply to that game is slow (or frozen) and poison. Wouldn't it suck to go on a 20 man instance, only to have the monsters silence all of your mages and therefore wouldn't be able to do AOE stuff?
 * In any case, MMORPGs are pretty much all action-based RPG's, while most of the ones in the list are for traditional RPGs. Also if I wanted to get mean, isn't the term "status effect" a lot older than buff/debuff?- XenoL-Type 12:54, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * @XenoL-Type: “… put the ‘Buff’ terminology explanation on top…” – It is there since 2006-06-29T00:03:03. (The last sentence of the first paragraph.) Could be expanded a bit, maybe, to state that typically only basic attributes (according to the particular game’s mechanics) are affected. —TowerDragon 21:45, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Removed the "Unique status effects"
I removed the "Unique Status Effects" section, since it seems to want to be a list of every status effect in existence. User:Ben Standeven/209.210.225.6 05:19, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh believe me, there's a whole lot more than that. But you have a point. But don't you think you're using a chainsaw for a problem where a scapel would be more suitable? SAMAS 16:27, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

This is a Ridiculous Article
Status Effects should just be listed in the game-specific articles that they are related to. This subject belongs in the Wiktionary at best as aside from defining a status effect it's just a horribly incomplete list of somewhat random status effects.

If anyone honestly thinks that this is worthy of its own Encyclopedic Article then it needs to have a huge list Organized by Game/Series and since that list would be huge it's not very sensible. Either include them all or just don't include any examples. Sixthcrusifix (talk) 06:57, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I Agree.. same with the Buff article. They are both either unneeded, or need to be revised. Nothing in either article is prose explaining why buffs/status effects exist. I've read Buff In The Final Fantasy XII Player's guide for crying out loud! Status Effect means the exact same thing. I'm not an expert in Wikipedia rules or anything, so as a layperson who sees "Buff" coming into the gaming vernacular for ALL types of RPG, I think it would be wonderful if someone could eloquently MERGE both articles into one cohesive unit. Currently the Buff article reads like a list of MMORPG STATUS EFFECTS with some random RPG info at the bottom. If you can't fix these please just get rid of both and make them dictionary terms that all games' articles could link to when appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.166.99.242 (talk) 15:53, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I also agree. What the hell is the point of this article? Why did someone decide this was necessary or appropriate for Wikipedia? I say this as a fan of the RPG genre: this is a ridiculous article, and should probably be deleted.--68.149.127.157 (talk) 02:38, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

It's very usefull for me!
Hello!

For good of this article, I must say it's very usefull for me! I'm currently developing a freeware RPG for Nintendo DS (look to wikipedia ^^) (Legend of Beneshov) and I found here very much good ideas for status aliments. Thanks for it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.103.97.104 (talk) 19:31, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Merger Proposal
I suggest we merge Buff (video gaming) into this article. The two are roughly duplicates, except the Buff article uses more obscure terminology. As well, the article is about both buffs and debuffs, meaning that for all intents and purposes, it should be named Status Effects. Basically, we can grab any information from the Buff article that isn't already present here, and maintain one smaller, better article instead of two. Bakkster Man (talk) 19:08, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

I disagree for one main reason: Buff as a video game term is not JUST a synonym for "status effect," but it's also the antonym of nerf (as far as game balancing is concerned). Both meanings should be explored here. See also Nerf (video gaming) --AyaJulia (talk) 21:41, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Right, but both buffs and debuffs/nerfs are types of status effects. Heck, our article even splits effects into these two categories. I don't think the two topics are unique enough to justify their own articles, when one monolithic article can encompass all of that information much better.
 * Perhaps the best solution would be to merge the buff (status effect) information into this article, and merge the buff (anti-nerf) information into the Nerf article, with a 'did you mean' link at the top of each page for those looking for the alternate usage of 'buff'. Bakkster Man (talk) 15:01, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I've never heard of "nerf" used as a synonym for "debuff," nor the opposite; a nerf has always been a developer change to a skill or ability that makes it less powerful, while a debuff has always been a negative status effect. At any rate, it doesn't really matter to me what's done with it as long as the link pointing here from the "nerf" article gets taken into account. --AyaJulia (talk) 02:20, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

AKA?
I have heard the term "malus" used to describe what this articel terms "debuffs". 104.229.142.212 (talk) 02:46, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

The term "malus" is Latin, roughly means "bad", and is an antonym of "bonus". I have heard the term used in this context, but it does seem pretty rare. Either way, it seems to have been removed from the article. 162.252.201.32 (talk) 07:18, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Ahmad Raza Khan

There appears to be a lot of stuff about this guy on the internet. Unfortunately, every page seems to do a different variation on his name. I'm not sure what's name and what's title. In part, because I don't speak Arabic or understand Arabic naming conventions. For instance, I've seen one page give his name as "Ash Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Al-Qadiri Fadil al-Bareilly" and another as "Imam e Ahle Sunnat, Maulana Shah Ahmad Raza Khan." I know "Imam" is a title, and I'm guessing "e Ahle Sunnat" means that he was an Ahle Sunnat in addition to being an Imam, but I don't know whether "Maulana Shah" is a title or a name; likewise, I don't know if "Al-Qadiri Fadil al-Bareilly" is part of his name or something like "from Qadiri before he moved to Bareilly". So, I don't know if the article's even got his name right! I just came in from Deadend pages, and while he seems interesting, I can't figure out even something as simple as how to list his name. The Literate Engineer 05:30, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Reply

well the Name of this Great Personality is Ahmad Raza, and because he defended the School of Ahl-us-Sunnah-wal-Jammah he was given the title of Imam-e-Ahl-us-Sunnah-wal-Jammah. Actually The Great Grantfather of Imam Raza came to India from Afghanistan as he was a brave fighter and rallied for the cause of Islam and He settled in Bareili after being given the Fort in Lahore (Shah-e-Kala which also houses the world famous Sheesh Mahal). Imam Raza was born in the town on Bareili, which is in U.P. (Utar Pardesh in India). Ashah is a title used for respect for Religious leaders and elders in India. Al-Qadari is his alegiance to the Sufi order of Shiekh Abdul Qadir Al-Jilani, after whom the order is named. Imam Raza Propagated the Sunni madhab as the Wahabi's were being funded by the British Raj, Maulvi Ashraf Ali Thanvi was being given 600 Rupees then, for what? and the book written by Ismail Dehlawi namely Taqwiyyatul-Imaan was distributed for Free for further information, the Punjab Universaity of Pakistan still hold s copies of it from that period about 150 years aog. for further information on the Imam, you can email me on: marizvi@hotmail.co.uk most welcome anytime. please to have been of help.

Robert Hewitt Wolfe

Robert Hewitt Wolfe (born 1964) is an American television producer and screenwriter. He is best known for his work as a writer on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and for developing and producing the series Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda.

Early life
Wolfe was born in Waterbury, Connecticut. He was a writer from an early age. He attempted but did not complete several novels between the ages of ten and twenty. He turned to film and television writing in college.

Wolfe graduated from UCLA, receiving a bachelor's degree in Film and Television and a MFA in Screenwriting. His first screenplay, Paper Dragons, placed second in the prestigious Goldwyn awards.

Star Trek series
In 1992, Wolfe sold the story for "A Fistful of Datas" to the series Star Trek: The Next Generation. His writing of the screenplay for the episode secured him a place on the creative staff of the series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, which made its debut in the following year.

Wolfe worked on DS9 for five years, under the supervision of showrunners Michael Piller and Ira Steven Behr. During this time, he wrote or co-wrote over thirty episodes in a wide range of styles. These included action-packed episodes with high story-arc importance such as "The Way of the Warrior" and "Call to Arms"; dramatic episodes that focused on character development such as "The Wire" and "Hard Time"; and comedies such as "Family Business" and "Little Green Men".

Andromeda
In 1999, working from notes by Gene Roddenberry, Wolfe developed the syndicated series Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda. The series premiered in the fall of 2000 as the number one original hour in syndication, a position it held for most of its five-year run.

Wolfe served as head writer and co-executive producer on Andromeda for its first two seasons. During this time, the series was nominated for two Saturn Awards for Best Syndicated Series and for a Leo Award for Best Dramatic Series.

During the production of the second season, Wolfe claims that he and the studio quarreled over the non-episodic nature of the show and the studio's requests for "more aliens, more space battles, and less internal conflict," eventually resulting in his departure. Actor Kevin Sorbo confirmed the statements, saying that Wolfe, "is a genius, but was developing stories that were too complicated."

SyFy
Wolfe was an executive producer on the television series The Dresden Files, along with David Simkins, Nicolas Cage, and others. Wolfe and Hans Beimler wrote the screenplay for the pilot and developed the series, which was based on the books by Jim Butcher. It was a production of Lions Gate Television and Saturn Films. It premiered on January 21, 2007, on the Sci Fi Channel. Wolfe subsequently wrote or the teleplays for some episodes in the series.

He is an executive producer on the SyFy series Alphas which premiered in 2011. He also wrote several of the Alphas episodes in 2011 and 2012.

TV movies
In the period that followed his departure from Deep Space Nine, Wolfe wrote several television pilots. One of these, Futuresport, was released in 1998 as an ABC TV movie starring Dean Cain and Wesley Snipes.

Wolfe teamed up with Hans Beimler to write the 2006 TV movie Scarlett.

Wolfe co-wrote the teleplay for 2010's Riverworld. The "epic adventure" was based on the books by Philip José Farmer. The 178-minute TV movie was released on the Sci Fi Channel.

Other television work
Wolfe has also written freelance scripts for The Dead Zone and UPN's revival of The Twilight Zone.

In 2004, he served as a consulting producer and writer on the first and fourth seasons of The 4400 on USA Network, helping launch the successful series.

It was announced in 2012 that Wolfe was developing a series titled Defender from Universal Cable Productions, set on the Starship Defender. In 2014, Wolfe was hired as a co-executive producer on The CW show Star-Crossed.

Wolfe wrote sixteen episodes of the CBS drama Elementary over five seasons, from 2014 to 2019. Wolfe served as a Consulting Producer for the Fox Drama Prodigal Son in 2019-2020.

Film career
Wolfe has written several unproduced features. These include Splicers for 20th Century Fox and Zero Gee for John Woo and Terrance Chang's Lion Rock Productions.

Stuyvesant Fish Morris

Stuyvesant Fish Morris (August 3, 1843 – May 10, 1928) was an American physician and the progenitor of Manhattan's prominent family of physicians.

Early life
Morris was born in Manhattan on August 3, 1843. He was a son of Richard Lewis Morris (1805–1880) and Elizabeth Sarah Fish (1810–1881). His siblings included Richard Lewis Morris Jr., Elizabeth Stuyvesant Morris, and James Morris.

His maternal grandparents were Nicholas Fish (1758–1833), Adjutant General of New York and Revolutionary War soldier, and Elizabeth (née Stuyvesant) Fish (1775–1854), a descendant of both the Livingston family and Peter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch director-general of New Amsterdam. He was also a nephew of Hamilton Fish, the Governor of New York, U.S. Senator, and U.S. Secretary of State. His paternal grandparents were Helen (née Van Cortlandt) Morris (1768–1812) and James Morris (1764–1827), High Sheriff of New York. His grandfather was a son of Lewis Morris (1726–1798), signor of the Declaration of Independence, from the prominent Colonial-era Morris family of the Morrisania section of the Bronx.

Education and training
Morris was educated at Columbia College Grammar School. He graduated from Columbia University in 1863, earning an A.B. degree, and in 1866, earning an A.M. degree. He earned his medical degree from Columbia Medical School in 1867. He trained as the acting Assistant Surgeon, United States, house surgeon for the New York Hospital, and as a sanitary inspector.

Career
During the U.S. Civil War, Morris enlisted as a private in the Union Army, Company K, 7th Infantry, New York Regiment on June 1, 1862 and he mustered out on September 5, 1862. The regiment was known as a "Silk Stocking" regiment and "Blue-Bloods" due to the disproportionate number of its members who were part of New York City's social elite, In 1864, he was acting Medical Cadet at Sand's Island and in 1866, he served as acting Assistant Surgeon at Hart and Davids Island during the fourth cholera pandemic. Morris practiced medicine in New York City for more than 40 years. His office was located at 16 East 30th Street in Manhattan. Dr. Morris was published in The New York Times, the New York Medical Journal and the Brooklyn Medical Journal.

He retired in 1913, and in 1920 was living at 16 East 30th Street in Manhattan. Dr. Morris was a member of the Century Club and the Saint Nicholas Society. He also served as a member of the board of trustees of the Parochial Fund of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of New York.

Personal life
On December 10, 1868, he married Ellen James "Elly" Van Buren (1844–1929) at Saint Mark's Church in New York City. Elly's paternal grandfather was the 8th U.S. President Martin Van Buren (1782-1862). They owned a house located in Quogue (a village within Southampton, New York) at the SE corner of Quogue Street and Post Lane, where he was president of the Quogue Field Golf Club. Together, they were the parents of the six children:

 * Elizabeth Marshall Morris (1869–1919) who made her debut in 1888. She married Benjamin Woolsey Rogers in 1906.
 * Van Buren Morris (1871–1872), who died young.
 * Ellen Van Buren Morris (1873–1954) who married Francis Livingston Pell (1873–1945), a descendant of James Duane, in 1899.
 * Stuyvesant Morris, who also died young.
 * Richard Lewis Morris III (1875–1954), who married Carolyn Whitney Fellowes (b. 1882), a daughter of Cornelius Fellowes, in 1908.
 * Stuyvesant Fish Morris Jr. (1877–1925), a stock broker who married Elizabeth Hillis Wynkoop (1878–1930), daughter of Dr. Gerardus Hilles Wynkoop, in 1900. They were the parents of Stuyvesant Fish Morris III (d. 1948).

Morris died at his residence, 116 East 58th Street in Manhattan, on May 10, 1928. His funeral was held at Calvary Church in New York City and was buried at Quogue Cemetery.

Writings about Morris family
Jeffrey Thomas writes: "In 1864 Henry James wrote of [Ellen Van Buren] in a letter, 'Miss Ellen Van Buren is here -- pale, thin, and drooping. We taunt her facetiously with being in love ... whereat she smiles languidly.' Four years later Henry James commented in a letter to William James, 'We heard from Elly Van Buren that she is engaged to one Dr. Morris of New Rochelle, a young physician who has cared for her for 4 years and never has been attentive to any girl in the interval. I should think Elly's own conscience should sting her.' About this time Alice James remarked acidly that Elly's flustered carryings - on about her engagement were likely to exasperate her fiancé beyond endurance. In 1913, Henry, writing to his acolyte Howard Sturgis about the relatives he had mentioned in his memoir A Small Boy and Others, explained enigmatically, 'Yes, my Father's two other sisters were my Van Buren and my Temple aunts. I should have liked to drag in the former's daughter, the intimate of our childhood, or of mine, later Mrs. Stuyvesant Morris, but forebore.' In January 1902 William James wrote to Henry during a visit to the United States, 'I also saw Elly Van Buren, old looking but unaltered in manner.'"

Philanthropy
In 1907, Morris donated 860 letters addressed to President Van Buren, printed circulars and broadsides, 1,700 other letters and political items to the Library of Congress. His donation, along with that of Mrs. Smith Thompson Van Buren, his mother-in-law, rendered the Library "a remarkably full one of political documents bearing upon the middle period [as of 1907] of the history of the United States."

Do you think the text in page 130 is real? -Sam

Probably; why else would bits like 'Vice Principal ______' have been blanked. If the text was fake, it would have given nothing away. Smurrayinchester 08:43, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

I think the excerpt is a real one from book the twelfth. I beleive if you figure out all of the blacked out words and right them down you will get a sentence. NOTE: They may need to be unscrambled. If this holds true and you find the answers please post them. Thank you, Mr. Holder

On this website pasted beside this text:http://www.lemonysnicket.com/missing.pdf. Copy and paste it QUICKLY IF YOU'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE NAMELESS NOVEL'S REAL TITLE!! I think I found out the title!! I think it's "THE HORRID HOTEL" because on that website I pasted you see "Missing!" If you flip it twice(I think),zoom in and look at the top of the first page. You'll see a title and it looks like to me it says "The Horrid Hotel"!! I'm smart, I'm smart.....*doing my cheer dance*! :)-Bree

 * It looks like the missing words are: Middle (or centre or similar), (unknown; a character name), Mr. Poe, Hotél Denouement, Nero. None of these words seems to work as an anagram, nor can they be rearranged into a sentance. Good idea though. (Incidently, swapping tiles 2 and 8 of the triptych image shows Mr. Poe drilling the hole, but this could be coincidence). Smurrayinchester 13:48, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

It is actually tile three and eight of the triptych you switch (I tried two and eight and it didn't work)--Ķêļśēŷ

Why was the page moved, out of the blue, with no discussion or real reason (it was moved to Book the Twelfth(A Series of Unfortunate Events)/The Nameless Novel)? An anonymous user moved it back, and I moved back this talk page back to Talk:The Nameless Novel. If this NEEDS to be moved, can it be discussed? Squidward2602 16:43, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

I (the anon who moved it back) believe that there's no reason for the page to be moved, and no reason for the title to include the "Book the Twelfth (aSoUE)/" part. "The Nameless Novel" is fine and concise as a title. --209.122.225.118 19:57, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

The Taxi Driver
The Taxi Driver is a villain! The disguise kit for a taxi driver is in the autobiography! Is anyone thinking how I am? Please respond.

What taxi driver?

 * Presumably they mean Kit Snicket. I doubt she's evil, although it's possible. She is Lemony's sister, and he speaks about her well. If she was evil, there would have been references to her being so. If you mean the one from the Reptile Room, then it is possible he is in fact a volunteer trying to delay Olaf ('Not everyone wants to hear about your new baby!' Olaf said').  smurray   in   chester (User), (Talk) 09:49, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

if kit snicket was evil, why would lemony snicket write to her in book ten? they would have to be either both good or evil besides, if lemony snicket was on olaf's side, he wouldn't call him his enemy, would he?

 * Something just hit me. What if it's not really kit snicket? You say that taxi driver is a disguise, so what if it is a new recruit of olaf's-or anyone on a different side to the snickets on the schism-posing as Kit???? Oh, this could be disastrous!-Rachel

He means the taxi driver in this book, who offered to take the Baudelaires somewhere else.

The Title
On the 4th of October, there was a clue with a poster. At the bottom crossed out and faded was the title.

It looks like this. "The Hor   Hotel". This means it is probably "The Horrid Hotel".

 * Lots of users have seen this, and a number have edited the article to say that this is the name of Book the Twelfth. However, please note that on the poster this title is crossed out, and this is probably a red herring, which is all part of the "teaser" process. CLW 16:49, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm not too sure, but i think that apparently when Mr handler turned up to a book signing (mr Snicket was supposed to turn up, but Handler turned up instead to inform the public that mr snicket couldnt make it because he was elsewhere) he started to say the title, and it came out starting with P. But i'm not too sure about that. But if you flip the page upside down on Adobe acrobat, you can start to read what it says. The second paragraph, i think it starts with 'sadly', and also says 'dear' later on-maybe talking about his dear sister? if anyone can decipher the rest of it, please reply.-Rachel

 * It's almost entirely illegible. The first paragraph begins "There is nothing worse"; beyond that, all I can make out is "Egad!" (in quote marks); the second paragraph starts "Sadly, this was not the case"; the word you read as "Dear" I think is a date, "Thursday Dec. 17th"; the last line on the page seems to say "a truckload of hookers" -- Michael

The twelfth book title is 'The Penultimate Peril". -Ali

The Bears' Famous Invasion of Sicily
Does anyone else think that it's wierd that the October 1 clue goes to The Bears' Famous Invasion of Sicily by Dino Buzzati at amazon.com? and that on the back page of that book there are 2 quotes by lemony snicket and daniel handler that are almost exactly the same?

I think that either Dino Buzzati is also Daniel Handler-otherwise a good friend. Maybe the book was created to compliment ASOUE? I think that the name Lemony Snicket has only ever been used for ASOUE apart from that. I think it's fishy that Mr Snickets name turns up here. Isn't he supposed to be hiding, or running away, or something of the assortment?-Rachel

If you've ever listen to an interview from Daniel Handler, you'll know that the Bear's Famous Invasion of Sicily is a book that he read as a child and that it is onw of his favorite books and draws on it for inspiration. That's why he reviewed it and there's a link. He wants other people to read it too. He doesn't know the author or is the author. He just wants people to know about it. Who knows, maybe it has some clues?-Amy

Mr Poe - Widdershins - Ike
"Goodness!" He cried. "Golly! Good God! Blessed Allah! Zues and Hera! Mary and Joseph! Nathaniel Hawthorne! Don't touch her! Grab her! Move closer! Run away! Don't move! Kill the snake! Leave it alone! Give it some food! Don't let it bite her! Lure the snake away! Here snakey! Here, snakey snakey!"... "It's bitten her!" he cried. "It bit her! It bited her! Calm down! Get moving! Call an ambulance! Call the police! Call a scientist! Call my wife! This is terrible! This is awful! This is ghastly! This is phantasmagorical! This is-" The Reptile Room - Mr. Poe

Remind you of Captain Widdershins or is it a coincidense? Why did he leave while the Baudelairs were in the cave and then Mr Poe appears at the end?

Widdershins also relates to Ike, talking about his dear Josephine. If he was fleeing from the headquaters in the submarine?

Mr. poe could be Captain Widdershins.-muffin man

Wouldn't the Baudelaires have recognised him? Sure, they don't recognise Olaf's associates-but they heard Widdershins talk before they saw him and voices are recogniseable. Nice theory, though.-Rachel

The Baudelaires, when they disguised themselves, disguised their voice as well. His voice could be just as easily disguised!- muffin man

Even if the voice was disguised, you can't get rid of a never-ending cough- unless that was also fake.

Front Page
Who does everyone thik is on the front page? I think we clearly know there is: -Klaus -Violet But the top hat at the bottom looks like either Fernald (aka hook handed man) or mr Snicket himself. Which leads me to note- does anyone else have last years calendar? If you do-look at it. Someone is behind the baudelaires, holding a newspaper infront of their head titled "lemony Snickets", which leads alot of speculation that this is Mr Snicket-because violet is looking at him oddly. May i just add that on the US/Asutralian cover of book 8, Fernald is wearing the exact same hat, which makes it very confusing as to who is whom. I also think the person behind the fernald/snicket is none other than Count Olaf-just look at the terible hair! And behind him, their is another person in a top hat with dark hair could be either Mr Poe or the person featured in the Triptych. Plus (i just thought of this one) the short man across from the Olaf could be hugo the hunchback! and and lady could be colleen! Then there is the odd lady lurking on the right side-who is she? Also, there are the others, lurking at the top, all looking as scary and odd as the next. the man with a funny hat and dark eyes, the lady with long white hair? As you can see, im REALLY excited about the new book! I cant wait-Rachel

"Coleen" is not Coleen. Would coleen dress so fancy? Only Esme would dress like that

On this website pasted beside this text:http://www.lemonysnicket.com/missing.pdf. Copy and paste it QUICKLY IF YOU'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE NAMELESS NOVEL'S REAL TITLE!! I think I found out the title!! I think it's "THE HORRID HOTEL" because on that website I pasted you see "Missing!" If you flip it twice(I think),zoom in and look at the top of the first page. You'll see a title and it looks like to me it says "The Horrid Hotel"!! I'm smart, I'm smart.....*doing my cheer dance*! :)dumb THE TITLE IS THE PENULTIMATE PERIL!!!!!!!!!!!iM SMART YOUR STUPID

Triplets
One of the options for Mystery the Third Part 6 is "impossible to break into and rescue kidnapped triplets" which possibly indicates that the Quagmire Triplets get captured.
 * I think that's unlikely. All the "correct" definitions on the Vernacularly Fastened Doors are quoted verbatim from the books, and that definition referred to when they were captured in The Vile Village. -- Michael
 * I agree with you, Michael, and I've removed this from the entry CLW 06:21, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

The Quagmire triplets had already been previously captured. The option "impossible to break into and rescue kidnapped triplets" could refer to book 6, where they were in a cage, "impossible to break into and rescue kidnapped triplets."
 * Um, no; it's an actual quotation from book 7. I do know they were actually captured in book 5 and remained in captivity until book 7; I was just summarising briefly because I assumed anyone looking at this page would also already know that. -- Michael

You weren't the first one, besides, this may not be the title. The title to the twelfth book is "The Penultimate Peril."

For Beatrice
One thing I find fishy about the Beatrice dedication is the subject matter. All of the Beatrice dedecations have directly related to her death, however the new leaked dedication just talks about her house.... so what?

The Counterfeit Concierge
Has it occurred to anyone else that the clue "THE COUNTERFEIT CONCIERGE IS IN" could relate to Esmé Squalor?

secret page
when you have completed the cover click on the option keep me informed this will take you to a page about lemony snicket. On this page when you put you cursor over the words mr snicket often communicates it lights up. click on it and you get secret interview.

Cleanup
This article is in dire need of cleaning up, as it currently reads more like a solutions manual to a game than an encyclopedia article. I believe that the best course of action would be to remove these solutions, though unfortunately they appear to take up most of the article, and replace them with a section giving a summary of the types of puzzles and solutions involved in the site. To this I would add a section summarising the information revealed by completing the tasks, and an expanded description of the site and its significance. As I know very little about the site (only information gleaned from this article is known to me) I cannot take this task upon myself, so I hope there are others who are able to do this. --Constantine Evans 03:00, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Do we still need this?
Do we still need this page? The website is gone, and knowing the key to the mysteries is no longer of any use. The simple comment in The Penultimate Peril (The book's title was only revealed shortly before launch. Before that, it was simply known as The Nameless Novel, and readers had to find clues on a website and answer questions.) seems more than sufficient. smurray  inchester ( User ), ( Talk ) 18:28, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

I have added most of the important information from the first paragraph of this article to The Penultimate Peril, and thus, since no one has objected to the merge proposal, I am merging the two. --Constantine Evans 07:55, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Dabify
Would anyone mind if I dabified this to various novels that are unnamed? Since the novel referred to by this article actually has a name...

unlike The Final Unfinished Voyage of Jack Aubrey which has no real title, since the author died in the process of writing the novel, before deciding on a title.

Polyene antimycotic

Polyene antimycotics, sometimes referred to as polyene antibiotics, are a class of antimicrobial polyene compounds that target fungi. These polyene antimycotics are typically obtained from some species of Streptomyces bacteria. Previously, polyenes were thought to bind to ergosterol in the fungal cell membrane and thus weakening it and causing leakage of K+ and Na+ ions, which could contribute to fungal cell death. However, more detailed studies of polyene molecular properties have challenged this model suggesting that polyenes instead bind and extract ergosterol directly from the cellular membrane thus disrupting the many cellular functions ergosterols perform. Amphotericin B, nystatin, and natamycin are examples of polyene antimycotics. They are a subgroup of macrolides.

Structures
Their chemical structures feature a large ring of atoms (in essence, a cyclic ester ring) containing multiple conjugated carbon-carbon double bonds (hence polyene) on one side of the ring and multiple hydroxyl groups bonded to the other side of the ring. Their structures also often have a D -mycosamine (a type of amino-glycoside) group bonded to the molecule. The series of conjugated double bonds typically absorbs strongly in the ultraviolet-visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum, often resulting in the polyene antibiotics having a yellow color.

Biosynthesis
The natural route to synthesis includes polyketide synthase components.

Other examples of polyenes

 * Rimocidin
 * Filipin
 * Candicin
 * Hamycin
 * Perimycin
 * Dermostatin
