Brick (song)

"Brick" is a song by American alternative rock group Ben Folds Five. It was released in November 1997 as a single from their album Whatever and Ever Amen and later on Ben Folds Live. The verses were written by Ben Folds about his high school girlfriend getting an abortion, and the chorus was written by the band's drummer, Darren Jessee. "Brick" was one of Ben Folds Five's biggest hits, gaining much mainstream radio play in the US, the UK, and Australia.

Background
On the album Ben Folds Live, Folds explained: "People ask me what this song's about... I was asked about it a lot, and I didn't really wanna make a big hairy deal out of it, because I just wanted the song to speak for itself. But the song is about when I was in high school, me and my girlfriend had to get an abortion, and it was a very sad thing. And, I didn't really want to write this song from any kind of political standpoint, or make a statement. I just wanted to reflect what it feels like. So, anyone who's gone through that before, then you'll know what the song's about."

Folds wrote the song on guitar rather than piano, and performed it as such on tour with The Bens in 2003.

Fan response
In his iTunes Originals interviews, Folds addresses his fanbase's disapproval: "When you have a hit song, much of your fanbase and people that listen to your music... their opinion is gonna be loud and clear that they feel that you've abandoned the fanbase; you've written something that's not for them, it's for everybody else, you've 'sold out', all kinds of things like that... That was the overwhelming vibe... 'What is that crap?'... because we'd been playing silly, up-tempo... we were the piano band that rocks... We couldn't even fit the song into a show."

He goes on to explain in the same interview that he was not put off by the fans: "When I look back on it, I think that the fact that that song was a hit gives me some confidence in pop music because the song is completely honest, what it is, it's crafted well, it's relaxed, it's recorded in a way that we'd never recorded a song before, which was absolutely live, three or four microphones in a bedroom. The song cannot have more integrity than it had."

"Brick" was voted in at number 12 in the Triple J Hottest 100 for 1998. In the Hottest 100 songs of all time poll conducted by Australian radio station Triple J in July 2009, Brick placed in at #67. More than half a million votes were cast in the poll.

Music video
The music video features the band performing in front of a film projected on a screen on a wall, with several inches of water covering the floor.

Actress and artist Ariana Richards appears as a pregnant teen in the video.

Discussion

 * 1) In cfr2 this 'text' is mysterious. Given this, I'm not sure what * is doing or asking. Harumph!
 * 2) In any event, since it's ignoring my 3rd perameter, I suggest this be coded to do whatever it's supposed to want and or override by taking a third perameter.
 * 3) So I'm not confident enough to ensure getting this in one go, so asked you here with the editprotect modify so  will assert  or whatever will work first time.  (I think this has a chance... but, for once I'm not being bold. [Call a newspaper! ]  Sorry to impose, but when that line wouldn't work, and it seems to want a 'text=' or something, I figured I better ask for help. Best regards! // Fra nkB  23:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I just added the below to the template for the uninitiated's benefit.:It will need some rework iff '3' defaults to the text. I'm not sure why this is written using 'text=', but seems to me an #if statement would do the same or perhaps just would suffice. Harrumph!  // Fra nkB

Usage

 * Example:
 * Notes:
 * CatOldName and CatNewName DO NOT take ':Category' or 'Category' in the name, just use the form without the namespace prefix.
 * "text=" must be lowercase
 * Do not use quotes in your text reasons. The equals sign is enough to delimit your reasons.
 * Several reasons can be tacked out and seperated on different lines using ' ',  or  but the text reason cannot contain any newline characters. The closing '}}' will delimit the end of your text.
 * Sign after the closing '}}' pair, or continue under with an amplified comment then sign.

 * end:usage added here for reference at this time. // Fra nkB 00:20, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

 * The section is not a call to Template:text... that would be enclosed in double brackets. Since this 'text' is in triple brackets it is instead the name of a parameter. Basically, if there was a template call of the form  this template would print the text "Because I want to" as the 'reason' below the request for a name change... if no 'text' parameter is input then the default "NEED REASON" text is printed instead to let the user know that they need to put in a reason for the change.
 * Since some people are used to the 'text=' format I will leave that in place, but make a change so that the template will also just accept a third unnamed parameter as you describe above. This can be done with just ... which would print the contents of the third unnamed parameter if set, otherwise the contents of the text parameter if set, and otherwise 'NEED REASON'. --CBD 01:44, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks CBD! That 'text=' was the first time I'd seen it. At the same time was baffled it wouldn't take a simple third argument. In general, think the cognizatti need think more from the shoes of the tyro or novice when finalizing these things. Trying to make a quick nom shouldn't cost one 20 minutes plus parsing how someone uses a thing. // Fra nkB 16:56, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

High Precision Event Timer

The High Precision Event Timer (HPET) is a hardware timer available in modern x86-compatible personal computers. Compared to older types of timers available in the x86 architecture, HPET allows more efficient processing of highly timing-sensitive applications, such as multimedia playback and OS task switching. It was developed jointly by Intel and Microsoft and has been incorporated in PC chipsets since 2005. Formerly referred to by Intel as a Multimedia Timer, the term HPET was selected to avoid confusion with the software multimedia timers introduced in the MultiMedia Extensions to Windows 3.0.

Older operating systems that do not support a hardware HPET device can only use older timing facilities, such as the programmable interval timer (PIT) or the real-time clock (RTC). Windows XP, when fitted with the latest hardware abstraction layer (HAL), can also use the processor's Time Stamp Counter (TSC), or ACPI Power Management Timer (ACPI PMTIMER), together with the RTC to provide operating system features that would, in later Windows versions, be provided by the HPET hardware. Confusingly, such Windows XP systems quote "HPET" connectivity in the device driver manager even though the Intel HPET device is not being used.

Features
An HPET chip consists of a 64-bit up-counter (main counter) counting at a frequency of at least 10 MHz, and a set of (at least three, up to 256) comparators. These comparators are 32- or 64-bit-wide. The HPET is programmed via a memory mapped I/O window that is discoverable via ACPI. The HPET circuit in modern PCs is integrated into the southbridge chip.

Each comparator can generate an interrupt when the least significant bits are equal to the corresponding bits of the 64-bit main counter value. The comparators can be put into one-shot mode or periodic mode, with at least one comparator supporting periodic mode and all of them supporting one-shot mode. In one-shot mode the comparator fires an interrupt once when the main counter reaches the value stored in the comparator's register, while in the periodic mode the interrupts are generated at specified intervals.

Comparators can be driven by the operating system, e.g. to provide one timer per CPU for scheduling, or by applications.

Applications
The HPET can produce periodic interrupts at a much higher resolution than the RTC and is often used to synchronize multimedia streams, providing smooth playback and reducing the need to use other timestamp calculations such as an x86-based CPU's  instruction. This provides improved efficiency, since the CPU does not need to waste cycles to make up for the low resolution of timers, and enables more aggressive use of sleep states, reducing power consumption. In addition to the application-level demand for high-precision clock, there are OS-level benefits in the scheduler and through the availability of a stable clock base for multi-processor systems.

Comparison to predecessors
HPET is meant to supplement and replace the 8254 programmable interval timer and the RTC's periodic interrupt function. Compared to these older timer circuits, the HPET has higher frequency and wider 64-bit counters (although they can be driven in 32-bit mode).

The HPET specification does not define the timer frequency, only requiring a minimum of 10 MHz; the actual frequency is provided to the operating system by a hardware register giving the number of femtoseconds per period (with an upper bound of $100,000,000 fs$). A popular value is 14.3$\overline{18}$ MHz, 12 times the standard 8254 frequency of 1.193$\overline{18}$ MHz.

While 8254 and RTC can be put into an HPET-like one-shot mode, the set-up process is so slow that their one-shot mode is not used in practice for tasks requiring precise scheduling. Instead, 8254 and RTC are typically used in periodic mode with a very small time interval. For example, if an application needs to perform several short (some milliseconds, perhaps) waits, it is better to have a periodic timer running constantly with a 1 ms period because of the high setup cost of an 8254 or RTC one-shot timer. This causes an interrupt at every millisecond even if the application needs to do actual work less frequently. With HPET, the extra interrupts can be avoided, because the set-up cost of a HPET one-shot timer is considerably smaller.

Use and compatibility
Operating systems designed before HPET existed cannot use HPET, so they use other timer facilities. Newer operating systems tend to be able to use either. Some hardware has both. Indeed, most current southbridge chips have legacy-supporting instances of PIT, PIC, Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) and RTC devices incorporated into their silicon whether or not they are used by the operating system, which helps very modern PCs run older operating systems.

The following operating systems are known not to be able to use HPET: Windows XP SP1, and earlier Windows versions, Linux kernels prior to 2.6.

The following operating systems are known to be able to use HPET: Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, Windows 7, x86 based versions of OS X, Linux operating systems using the 2.6 kernel (or later), FreeBSD and OpenSolaris.

The Linux kernel can also use HPET as its clock source. The documentation of Red Hat MRG version 2 states that TSC is the preferred clock source due to its much lower overhead, but it uses HPET as a fallback. A benchmark in that environment for 10 million event counts found that TSC took about 0.6 seconds, HPET took slightly over 12 seconds, and ACPI Power Management Timer took around 24 seconds.

In 2019 it was decided to blacklist HPET in newer Linux kernels when running on some Intel CPUs (Coffee Lake) because of its instability.

Problems
HPET is a continuously running timer that counts upward, not a one-shot device that counts down to zero, causes one interrupt and then stops. Since HPET compares the actual timer value and the programmed target value on equality rather than "greater or equal", interrupts can be missed if the target time has already passed when the comparator value is written into the chip's register. In such a case, not only is the intended interrupt missed, but actually set far into the future (about 232 or 264 counts). In the presence of non-maskable interrupts (such as a System Management Interrupt (SMI)) that do not have a hard upper bound on their execution time, this race condition requires time-consuming re-checks of the timer after setup and is hard to avoid completely. The difficulties are exacerbated if the comparator value is not synchronized with the timer immediately, but delayed by one or two ticks, as some chipsets do.

Besides mentioning the race condition discussed above, a VMware document also lists some other drawbacks: "The specification does not require the timer to be particularly fine grained, to have low drift, or to be fast to read. Some typical implementations run the counter at about 18 MHz and require about the same amount of time (1–2 μs) to read the HPET as with the ACPI timer. Implementations have been observed in which the period register is off by 800 parts per million or more."

Kaare Klint

Kaare Klint (15 December 1888 – 28 March 1954) was a Danish architect and furniture designer, known as the father of modern Danish furniture design. His style was epitomized by clean, pure lines, use of the best materials of his time and superb craftsmanship.

He was the son of the equally influential architect Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint whose monumental Grundtvig's Church he completed after his father's death in 1930.

Early life and education
Kaare Klint was born on 15 December 1888 in the Frederiksberg district of Copenhagen, the son of Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint, then a struggling painter about to abandon his artistic career in place of a more secure career in architecture.

Klint apprenticed as a furniture maker in Kalundborg and Copenhagen from 1893 and took classes at technical school in Copenhagen, Jens Møller-Jensens furniture school, and the Artists' Studio Schools under Johan Rohde. He was then articled to Carl Petersen and was also taught the architectural trade by his father, who had completed his first architectural project in 1896.

Design career
In 1914, Klint designed his first piece of furniture, the Faaborg Chair, for Carl Petersen's Faaborg Museum in 1914. He went on to create furniture and fittings for a number of other museums.

From 1921 to 1926 he was responsible for the conversion of Frederiks Hospital into the Danish Museum of Art & Design together with Thorkild Henningsen and Ivar Bentsen. In 1927 he also created a chair in mahogany for the museum which was inspired by English 18th-century chairs. Klint's carefully researched furniture designs are based on functionality, proportions adapted to the human body, craftsmanship, and the use of high-quality materials. Notable examples of his work include the Propeller Stool (1927), the Safari Chair and the Deck Chair (both 1933), the Church Chair (1936), and the Circle Bed (1938) featuring curved sides and rounded ends, with hand-woven textiles by Lis Ahlmann.

As a result of the furniture school he founded at the Royal Academy in 1924, Klint had a strong influence on Danish furniture, inspiring designers such as Poul Kjærholm and Børge Mogensen.

He also designed textiles, lamps, and organs.

Completion of his father's unfinished works
After his father's death in 1930, Kaare Klint completed his monumental Grundtvig's Church in Copenhagen. Construction had started in 1921 but was not completed until 1940. He also designed the Bethlehem Church, also in Copenhagen, on the basis of his father's sketches. It was built from 1935 to 1937.

Totally inaccurate list
Just looking through the cinema section alone, the list is horribly inaccurate. Amitabh Bachchan's mother was a Sikh but he's a Hindu. You can't be half Sikh. You are or you aren't. It isn't an ethnicity but a religion. Same goes for his son. Isn't Dharmendra a member of the BJP? Isn't that an ultra right wing Hindu party? Maybe the listmaker(s) is (very, very) confused about being Punjabi vs. being Sikh. Date : June 4th, 2011

I do Agree - there are non-sikh names listed here. I deleted those names, but my edit was promptly undone.

I recommend this article to be deleted, due to wrong information. Please suggest how to initiate this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbsodhi (talk • contribs) 11:15, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Disgusting list
( the below is just some made up stuff don't listen to it, this page is promoted by RSS to show that every sikh is just really a hindu, please delete this page. Too much corruption is happening within the Sikh community by outsiders. We are a separate group of people now leave us alone. Also, no we don't want to become Hindus.) Dharmender father was not converted to arya samaj hinduism and did not take name of krishna deol and dharmendra is self confessed arya samaji hindu. This is hillarious even though most sikhs are from hindu background when some sikh convert back to hinduism he is still shown as sikh.

further KP SINGH of dlf is not sikh at all he is jat hindu from UP. And not a sikh everyone with a name singh is assumed to be a sikh and this is disgusting. First singh name is used by hindu kshatriya that too correct spelling is SINH and not singh. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ASHOKBINDUSARA (talk • contribs) 11:25, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

similarly all bedis are not sikhs, is mrs kiran bedi a sikh no, her husband is hindu and she herself is daughter of hindu father and sikh mother. therefore be careful while adding names. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ASHOKBINDUSARA (talk • contribs) 11:31, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Be constructive and dont rant,just as almost all of the sikhs of modern day belong to the family of punjabi hindus similarly many sikhs converted or proper word will be reverted back to Hinduism specially by the Arya samaj mission. Dharmendra father is one example, he reverted back to hinduism adopt the name Krishna deol, in one interviw Bobby deol cleared that they are Hindus and i guess every true hindu will respect true sikhs. Here my meaning for true sikhs are those who respect hinduism as well and not those who simply rant about sikh sacrifice infact Mughals were defeated by Marathas and not sikhs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ASHOKBINDUSARA (talk • contribs) 09:31, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

This proof should be enough http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-06-21/news-interviews/28201066_1_sunny-deol-esha-deol-superstitions the article from TIMES NEWS NETORK(TNN) clearly states that both father and son dharmendra and sunny claim that they are staunch follower of arya samaj system. Spreading rumors will not help, if someone will say that Guru Nanak was born in Hindu kshatriya family and hence he is Hindu then it will insult sikhs similarly their are many sikhs who reverted back to hinduism and one of them is obviously father of Dharmendra whose name was Krishna Deol and he was one of the initial members of Arya Samaj Sangathan who spread Hinduism around the world minus the caste system and other negative points of hinduism. Overall its a mission to correct the faulty values of Hinduism and spread Sanatan Dharma. This debate of Dharmendra being a Sikh should be stopped, for everyone knowledge i have visted Golden temple as well, i have visited Bodhi Gaya temple as well does this mean i am not a hindu. Because sikhism and buddhism are Indian religions they are respected by all. Salman Khan too visited golden temple, Britney spears visited hindu temple in london visiting temple,london,mosque dont mean you follow that religion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ASHOKBINDUSARA (talk • contribs) 09:41, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

See one more evidence that its not dharmendra it was his father who adopted Arya samaj and become arya samaji hindus and also change his name to kewal krishna deol. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ASHOKBINDUSARA (talk • contribs) 09:47, 21 June 2011 (UTC) <!--Autosigned by

COI Edit request April 4
I have been criticized for attempting to add two prominent Sikhs to the lists - general and Canada. Both were removed and I received two messages, the second strongly worded, telling me to desist. How can I submit the two names and make a case for their inclusion? 70.53.159.225 (talk) 13:22, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Your edits were reverted because you repeatedly broke one valid wikilink, by adding an honorary title, and you also added a link to a person without an article, which means they are ineligible for inclusion. The standard "badlistentry" template was added to your talk page, explaining what you should do, i.e. not add people without articles, and consider creating an article, which if it was accepted, would make them eligible for inclusion.  You ignored that template and re-broke the link and re-added a person without an article, hence the stronger warning. If you wish to "make a case for their inclusion" you need to follow the instructions on your talk page, and create an article. - Arjayay (talk) 14:05, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Gurney Braithwaite

Sir Joseph Gurney Braithwaite, 1st Baronet (24 May 1895 – 25 June 1958) was an English Conservative Party politician.

Gurney Braithwaite came from a Quaker family, the youngest son of Joseph Bevan Braithwaite (stockbroker). He was educated at Downs School, Colwall and Bootham School , York. During World War I, he served in the Royal Navy at the Suvla Bay landing, Gallipoli, and in Palestine. He became a stockbroker and company director.

Braithwaite contested Rotherhithe without success in 1929, and was elected the member of parliament (MP) for Sheffield Hillsborough at the 1931 general election, losing the seat in 1935 to the previous incumbent, A. V. Alexander. He re-entered Parliament in a 1939 by-election for Holderness. In Parliament, he was active on issues relating to ex-servicemen and the Navy, and was himself a lieutenant-commander in the RNVR. During World War II he helped organise convoys in the Thames area.

At the 1950 general election, Braithwaite's Holderness seat was abolished and he was elected for the marginal Bristol North West constituency. He served as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Transport in the government of Winston Churchill from 1951 to 1953. He was made a baronet on 28 January 1954. Boundary changes involved his seat being redrawn to Labour's advantage, and at the 1955 general election Braithwaite lost. He died three years later, aged 63.
