Monterey Jazz Festival

The Monterey Jazz Festival is an annual music festival that takes place in Monterey, California, United States. It debuted on October 3, 1958, championed by Dave Brubeck and co-founded by jazz and popular music critic Ralph J. Gleason and jazz disc jockey Jimmy Lyons.

History
The festival is held annually on the 20 acre, oak-studded Monterey County Fairgrounds, located at 2004 Fairground Road in Monterey, on the third full weekend in September, beginning on Friday. Five hundred top jazz artists perform on nine stages spread throughout the grounds, with 50 concert performances. In addition, the Monterey Jazz Festival features jazz conversations, panel discussions, workshops, exhibitions, clinics, and an international array of food, shopping, and festivities spread throughout the fairgrounds.

From 1992 to 2010, Tim Jackson was general manager and artistic director, and in 2010, Chris Doss became the managing director, and Jackson became the artistic director. In 2014, Colleen Bailey became the managing director. Since 1992, Clint Eastwood has been on MJF's board of directors. Kent and Keith Zimmerman describe the festival as having expanded in recent years: "While jazz radio and major labels cut back on musical choice and commitment, the Monterey Jazz Festival has widened its scope by expanding the parameters of jazz, blues, and rock. . . . Happily, MJF is now as diverse and vibrant as Lyons imagined it ever could be."

In 2006, the festival set an attendance record of 40,000, selling out all five major concerts on the main stage arena, and in 2007, 40,000 attended the 50th Golden Celebration.

Since there was no festival in 2020, the 63rd was deferred to 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic caused officials to cancel it.

The Monterey Jazz Festival is a nonprofit organization. It has donated its proceeds to musical education since its inception in 1958. The festival's scholarship program started with a $35,000 scholarship fund in 1970. As of 2012, the festival invests $600,000 annually for jazz education. Every spring, the Monterey Jazz Festival invites student musicians from across the country and around the world to participate in the "Next Generation Festival".

Paul Contos has served as saxophone clinician with The Monterey Jazz Festival for 30 yrs, as Director of the Next Generation Jazz Orchestra & Monterey County All-Stars for 20 yrs, and as Education Director for the Monterey Jazz Festival (2011-2019) and in 2015 was awarded the Champion of the Arts: Educator Award by the Monterey Arts Council.

Dave Brubeck was instrumental in getting city approval for the first festival in 1958. The founder and general manager of MJF for 35 years, Jimmy Lyons, brought Brubeck to Monterey to perform for the city council to persuade them to allow the festival to occur. He performed at the Festival 14 times which included his appearance at the 2007 / 50th golden anniversary.

The Monterey Pop Festival was held at the fairgrounds in 1967 for three days in mid-June, part of the Summer of Love.

AGM-87 Focus

The AGM-87 Focus was an air-to-surface missile developed by the United States.

Overview
The missile was a development of the AIM-9B Sidewinder air-to-air missile, intended for use against ground targets. Development took place at the China Lake Naval Weapons Center during the late 1960s. The infrared homing method of the Sidewinder was retained, as the missile was to be used against targets which emitted an infrared signature. Typical targets included trucks and other such vehicles.

The Focus was used in Vietnam during 1969 and 1970, primarily for night attacks when IR emitters stand out well against the cool background. Although the missile was reportedly quite effective, it was discontinued in favor of other weapons.

Specifications

 * Length : 9 ft 3.5 in (2.83 m)
 * Finspan : 1 ft 10 in (0.56 m)
 * Diameter : 5 in (12.7 cm)
 * Weight : 155 lb (70 kg)

Polymethylhydrosiloxane

Polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) is a polymer with the general structure [\sCH3(H)Si\sO\s]. It is used in organic chemistry as a mild and stable reducing agent easily transferring hydrides to metal centers and a number of other reducible functional groups. A variety of related materials are available under the following CAS registry numbers 9004-73-3, 16066-09-4, 63148-57-2, 178873-19-3. These include the tetramer ((MeSiHO)4), copolymers of dimethylsiloxane and methylhydrosiloxane, and trimethylsilyl terminated materials.

This material is prepared by the hydrolysis of monomethyldichlorosilane CAS#: 75-54-7:
 * n MeSiHCl2 + n H2O -> [MeSiHO]_{n} + 2n HCl

The related polymer polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is made similarly, but lacking Si\sH bonds, it exhibits no reducing properties. Dimethyldichlorosilane CAS#: 75-78-5 is then used instead of monomethyldichlorosilane CAS#: 75-54-7.

Illustrative of its use, PMHS is used for in situ conversion of tributyltin oxide to tributyltin hydride:

 * 2 MeSiH + (Bu3Sn)2O -> Me2Si2O + 2 Bu3SnH

If I up the font size a couple of times, the PNGs scale nicely along, and most of them start to become readable at that point; a second screenshot shows the improvement. Note how the x/y fraction shows the 'y' much denser than the 'x'. Hv 22:30, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Carl Barât

Untitled
Carl Barat isn't bisexual, so why is there a link to "Bisexual musicians" at the bottom of his page?

-- It's most definitely an unsubstantiated rumour more commonly perpetuated by Libertines fans (and usually women).

He is very probably bisexual but theres no actual confirmation. Reubensutton 10:51, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Pete is also most likely bisexual as well. It's quite likely that their friendship has been more than platonic at some stage, but this is merely rumour. --MartinUK 10:49, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Oh, that's just silly. Why on Earth would you say it's "most likely" that they're bisexual?   There's zero evidence for that.  These rumours only ever come from distant fans with no connection to the band.  It's pure nonsense, and I say that because the tabloids, who have shown no restraint in publishing false stories about Peter, would have proved it if there were even a kernel of truth. It would have been a major front-page story in the Moss era, and Peter is pretty much incapable of hiding anything.  No homosexual encounter with him could have stayed hidden with tabloid cash on offer and the media feeding-frenzy around him for so long.

 * I honestly think this is just psychological projection from his legions of male fans, struggling to understand the confusing feelings they get from reading, on the forums, the lustful adoration of female fans for the band. OneVeryBadMan 16:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Carl or Carlos
An unregistered user (who did some vandalism on Gary Powell's page) recently changed the name on this page to 'Carlos'. Is this just rubbish too, or is it his actual name? A search in google reveals some pages that refer to him as 'Carlos'; but none explaining whether it is his actual name Robdurbar 08:34, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Carlos is just a nickname. His given name is officially Carl. 155.212.134.207 19:41, 21 November 2005 (UTC) Sarah

 * His name was Carl throughout his school years at Testbourne...He didn't have a circumflex over the 'a' in his surname then either Devious Viper 19:38, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

What's with the old pic??

This is also my understanding, that his given name is Carl, and that Carlos is a nickname. OneVeryBadMan 14:27, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeah, a few vandles keep insisting on changing his name - its hard to keep track of it! Robdurbar 16:58, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

If a source is needed, IMDB confirms his birthname as Carl, listing Carlos as his nickname. It also includes a circumflex. OneVeryBadMan 16:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Also, in The Libertines: Bound Together (by Anthony Thornton and Roger Sargent) it says "The definitve story of Peter Doherty and Carl Barât [...]". Considered that it's Doherty's real name Peter (instead of the nick name Pete) one can assume that Carl Barât is right as well. -- dreadlady 17:59, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Someone's changed it to Carlos again, which is definitely wrong. I'm also pretty sure the circumflex is a flourish he added and is no longer using, but as he's known better with the circumflex, it probably doesn't need to be changed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.208.196.163 (talk) 11:16, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

circumflex
Does his name definitely have a circumflex accent, and does that affect the pronunciation? Where is the surname from originally? 143.252.80.110 15:34, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

--yes, it does really have the circumflex but it's not really there for pronunciation, the name's French but he's English

Yup; I've moved the page to its proper title (i.e. with the circumflex). --Robdurbar 18:11, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * He didn't have a circumflex while he lived in Whitchurch, nor was it used on his school records.

I just realised that someone renamed article to Barât. That was quite rash, wasn't it. I'm 90% sure that his name is spelled without a circumflex. If you have a look at the cover of Bound Together, it says Carl Barat. I guess it rather is some artistical flourish he added to his name (it's the same with (his nick name) Carlos instead of Carl). So, if I don't get a reply withing a week say I'll change it all back to Barat. -- dreadlady 16:44, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Why has someone else added the circumflex back? Is it because he used it on his book and album? I don't mind if people think that makes it "official", but he was born "Barat" so that at least needs to be changed (it's easy enough to look up his birth records to prove that if you don't believe me). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.123.89.86 (talk) 21:23, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Picture?
Don't suppose anybody fancies putting a picture up to they?

A move?
Wouldn't the "Dirty Pretty Things" section come under "Post-Libertines"?He did form the band after splitting with The Libertines.(ColaRules 10:42, 15 April 2007 (UTC))

"poor Dirty Pretty Things"?
On 3 February at about 2200 hours someone added an extra sentence to the first paragraph of the Post-Libertines section. It states that he was able to move on to working on his new band "the poor Dirty Pretty Things." What's the "poor" for? Is that someone trying to be cute? --Cardinalsmurf (talk) 21:38, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Borregos Salvajes Monterrey

The Borregos Salvajes Monterrey (English: Monterrey Wild Rams) team represents the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (variously Tec de Monterrey or ITESM) in the sport of American football. The Borregos Salvajes are one of the most successful programs in Mexico, having won 15 National Titles, including five back to back from 2004 to 2008, being the only team to achieve such fate.

From 2020, the team competes in the Conferencia Jacinto Licea of the ONEFA.

History
American football was the first sport which was practiced in this institution. For more than 50 years, ITESM American football team has had remarkable performance and has given recognition to its undergraduate and graduate students. The tradition of practicing this sport at the ITESM began back then in 1945 when the institution assigned to Alexander Solis Carranco, who was an American football player and trainer, the task of creating and training an American football squad. The training began with a game explanation and a physical training program which consisted of basic exercises such as calisthenics, run practice, passes, and scrimmages. The team in that time was formed by 14 players and within an era of double power, all played defensive and offensive roles and they were made hold the action of the match until someone was hurt. In spite of the initial pessimism by the robust stranger and of the nature of the sport, the players were excited by the game and after 5 or 5 training sessions the first game was proposed to be against the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León. This match meant the beginning for traditional Classic Match Borregos–Tigres (Tigres is the UANL American football team, a state-managed institution) and up to date this match is famously followed by American football fans from Monterrey.

Uniform
For their first match it was necessary to uniform the players, their jerseys were originally supposed to be made in red with white covers. Unfortunately, the supplier did not have enough red fabric to make those uniforms. Coach Solis had to choose another color of which the supplier had enough fabric. He chose the blue one because it was the color of the bus in which the team was traveling. Since then, the uniform was a blue jersey with a letter "T" in front, and in the back was the player's number. After that the institute chose blue and white as their official colors.

The selection of the mascot was equally accidental. On the way to the park Cuauhtémoc and Famosa, where the first Classic Match (local derby) would take place, the players had the restlessness to have a mascot to identify them. They passed by a ford, today Santa Catarina River, and saw a man feeding a ram. They bought it for 25 pesos and thus the mascot arose from the equipment that represents the institute.

First Championships
In 1970, the Coach Gustavo Zavaleta re-baptized the team with the nickname "Borregos Salvajes" (Wild Rams) in order to identify it with this species, which is characterized by its constant fight to survive in highly risky situations, always dominating from the heights the atmosphere that surrounds it and showing its superiority before the others. From its birth to 1969 the consolidation of the sport in the institute is considered and in 1948 the Borregos Salvajes received their first trophy. The key time of the American football in the ITESM was the sixties, since in that decade began the selection of players to enter to the team and started some type of military era, in which the teams survived showing their physical strength and strict discipline.

The Borregos Salvajes were crowned Champions of the Greater League of National Student Organization of American Football (ONEFA) on four occasions: 1971, 1972, 1974 and 1976. In 1977, the Borregos left the Metropolitan Conference. But twelve years later, the American Football team of the ITESM returned to the league this time commanded by the Head Coach Frank González, after obtaining three championships in a row in the National Conference of ONEFA. In this return, they had a record of 4–4. In 1990, the Borregos Salvajes reached the playoffs but lost to the Aguilas Blancas. The following year they earned a record of 7–2, reaching semifinals and being left runner-up behind Cóndores.

The Return
In 1992 the squad improved their record (8–1) and although they had a bad performance when losing to the Aguilas Blancas, won the privilege of being considered the best team in Mexico. In 1993, after a delay, the Borregos hosted a Final game of the ONEFA. The Borregos Salvajes won against the Aguilas Blancas with a score of 20–13, closing with this one the celebrations of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the ITESM.

In 1994, before the expectation of and a doubt of others, one stays in the top and it obtained the second championship, this time against the Aztecas of the University of the Américas playing as a visitor and winning by a score of 17–10. In 1995 it reached the semifinals but it lost to the Aztecs. In 1996 at the Estadio Tecnológico de Monterrey crowded at its maximum capacity, the Borregos again reached the final game with the Aztecs of the UDLAP. The squad stayed as runner-up after falling with a score of 6–3, after finishing the regular season without a defeat. In 1997 the team was again runner-up. In 1998 it earned the championship, defeating the Aztecs of the UDLAP by a score of 20–17 at the Estadio Tecnológico de Monterrey crowded with 33,155 fans, in a game at noon on Saturday.

In 1999, the Borregos Salvajes obtained a second championship when defeating again the Aztecs of the UDLA by score of 38–25, this time the game was celebrated on the field nicknamed the Temple of the Pain in Cholula, Puebla. In the 2000, the squad arrived at the final game but this time in front of its brothers of the Campus Estado de Mexico, and fell by a score of 38–28, in a game that was celebrated at the "Plastic Corral" Stadium in the State of Mexico.

Recent achievements
In the 2001 season, the team, coached by the Frank González, went to the Championship without a loss. In the Classic, played at the Estadio Tecnológico de Monterrey, against the Tigres of the UANL they beat them with a score of 20–12. In the 2002 season, the Borregos Salvajes arrived again at the final game a second consecutive year with the team directed by the Coach Frank González. They faced the Tigres of the UANL in another Final-Classic, in which first half was played even since they finished tied 7–7. Nevertheless, in the third and fourth quarters, the Rams scored touchdowns to win another championship, as the team took 22 games without a defeat and 12 years without a loss to the Tigres.

The 2003 season was won by the Borregos Salvajes Campus Estado de México. Campus Monterrey won seasons 2004 (defeating Estado de México), 2005 (defeating Tigres UANL) and 2006 (Defeating the Aztecas from the UDLAP).

The 2006 season handed another of the Borregos Salvajes campus Monterrey "B" teams a win in the national Division II championship.

In the 2010 season, the Borregos Salvajes played in another conference, the CONADEIP premier league. They reached the finals, where they lost to their rivals, the Aztecas UDLAP 17–10.

Head coaches
ITESM Monterrey head coaches from 1945 to present.

Players in the NFL
As of the 2023 NFL season, the following players have become active players in an NFL team.

 * Rolando Cantú, G, Arizona Cardinals (2004–2006)
 * Isaac Alarcón, DT, Dallas Cowboys (2020–2022)
 * Alfredo Gutiérrez, OT, San Francisco 49ers (2021–present)

Controversy
The ITESM and the other Monterrey Institute teams have been accused several times of recruiting the star-players from other universities by giving them need-based private scholarships. Monterrey Institute is one of the most expensive universities in Mexico and almost instantly receives a "yes" response by the public university students who can't afford that type of education. This long-lasting fight between public schools and the ITESM ended with the league being divided in two parts: one which is almost exclusively ITESM teams and the other comprising public schools and mid-class schools.

Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law

The University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law is an American Bar Association accredited law school and is the only law school in Memphis, Tennessee. The school has been associated with the University of Memphis since the law school's formation in 1962. The school was named in honor of former University president Cecil C. Humphreys. It is also referred to as U of M Law, Memphis Law, or Memphis Law School.

According to Memphis Law's 2017 ABA-required disclosures, 69.69% of the Class of 2017 obtained full-time, long-term, bar passage-required employment after graduation, excluding solo practitioners.

History
The law school was founded in 1962 as the Memphis State University College of Law. It gained ABA accreditation three years later in 1965. Former Memphis businessman Herbert Herff was a major benefactor to the University of Memphis. When he died in 1966, Herff left the bulk of his estate in trust with the State of Tennessee for the benefit of the University. Among his Foundation's funding is the Herbert Herff Presidential Law Scholarships and the Herbert Herff Chair of Excellence in Law.

Prior to the law school's founding, there were several other law schools in Memphis, including Memphis Law School, and Southern Law School (not to be confused with Southern University Law Center in Baton Rouge, LA), both of which subsequently merged with Memphis State University Law School. Memphis Law School existed as early as 1922 as the University of Memphis School of Law. Despite the names, neither Southern Law University nor the early University of Memphis School of Law had university connections, but rather offered part-time legal education programs, though both were approved by the State Board of Law Examiners.

The law school joined the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) in 2001. Reflecting the law school's increased profile, the Tennessee Supreme Court convened at the University of Memphis School of Law on November 4, 2010. In September 2012, the law school celebrated its semicentennial.

Academics
The law school has graduated more than 5,000 students since its inception, and it currently has approximately 314 students and twenty-six full-time professors. It is consistently named a “best value” in legal education by National Jurist Magazine. Additionally, it has a job placement rate such that 83% of graduates were employed, with 68% employed where bar admission was required, in long-term jobs within ten months of graduation (Class of 2016-2018). In the winter 2018 issue of preLaw, the University of Memphis Law School received an A− grade in "Best Value Law Schools" list. PreLaw has also recently included Memphis Law in their 2018 "Health Law Honor Roll."

U.S. News & World Report ranks Memphis Law as tied for No. 138 of American law schools in its 2020 rankings.

Memphis Law was recognized in 2014 by the National Jurist and preLaw magazine as having the "Best Law School Facilities in the Nation", and more recently, was named by the same publications as having the "Best Law School Building in the Nation."

For the class entering in Fall 2019, 62.05% of applicants were accepted for admission, 20.9% of those accepted actually matriculated, with entering students having a median LSAT score of 152 and a median undergraduate grade point average of 3.2.

Many students participate on moot court or mock trial teams or are involved with the school's law journal, the University of Memphis Law Review (founded in 1970). Additionally, the school's Moot Court/Mock Trial program has a history of fielding teams from the ABA National Appellate Advocacy Competition teams to specialized teams such as the Duberstein Bankruptcy Section team and the ABA Mediation Team.

The University of Memphis Law School was recognized in 2017 by Pre-law magazine as a "Most Diverse Law School" earning a B+ in diversity.

New downtown campus

Because of inadequate, old facilities, former Dean James Smoot positioned the law school for a move from its building on the University's main campus in East Memphis to a former customs house on the Mississippi River in downtown Memphis. The new law school campus is more than twice the size of the old campus. Until purchased by the law school, a portion of the building had been serving as a post office. Designed by Memphis firms Askew Nixon Ferguson Architects and Fleming Associates Architects, the new law school is located in the heart of Memphis' downtown. Former Tennessee governor, Phil Bredesen, has also lent his support and pledged $41 million in state funds for the move. Along with the purpose-specific interior redesign, the architect (Bill Nixon) oversaw structural renovations, including a $2 million seismic retrofit. The move was officially announced on January 12, 2006, and it was anticipated that the downtown facility would be ready for classes January 2010.

As of Fall 2010, the new downtown campus is fully operational, with a dedication ceremony held on January 16, 2010. The 169,000-square-foot (4-acre) building originally housed the late 19th century U.S. Customs House. Built in the early 1880s, the Italianate Revival-style building opened in 1885. Over the years, the building has served as Memphis' main customs house, federal court house, and most recently, as a U.S. post office. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Among features preserved in the restoration are the old federal courtroom, which now serves as one of the law school's moot courtrooms. During the restoration, a number of architectural details were rediscovered, including a decorative ceiling and roof monitor. The South Wing of the law school serves as the Plough Law Library; the library occupies all five levels of the South Wing, and includes West-facing glass walls overlooking the Mississippi River. The law library contains more than 250,000 volumes of books, journals and other legal materials. In addition, two of the building's 10 original security vaults serve as study spaces and small offices.

In the North Wing, administrative and faculty offices are on the second and third floors. The first floor houses a student lounge, study areas and a law student bookstore. The North Wing's lowest level contains the University of Memphis Legal Clinic, locker rooms and student organization offices. As a result of digital security measures, students, faculty and staff have 24/7 access to the law school, study rooms, and library.

Following the law school's move to the downtown location in 2010, it was ranked by the Princeton Review as a top 10 law school nationally for quality of life.

Memphis Law has been recognized by the National Jurist and preLaw magazine as having the "Best Law School Facilities in the Nation" in 2014, and more recently, was named by the same publications as having the "Best Law School Building in the Nation."

Library facilities
The new law school campus houses the Plough Foundation Law Library, which contains more than 270,000 volumes of books and microforms including statutes, court reports, digests, encyclopedias, treatises, loose-leaf services, periodicals, and government documents. The Law Library serves as a selective depository library for U.S. government publications since 1979. In addition to its own law library resources, students and staff also have access to the following libraries:
 * McWherter Library—the main University of Memphis library and its departmental branches;
 * Shelby County Law Library, located on the third floor of the Shelby County Courthouse, two blocks away from the law school.
 * Memphis Public Library, Cossitt Branch Library, located adjacent to the law school. As of 2019 this branch is no longer in service.

Post-graduation employment
According to Memphis Law's official 2013 ABA-required disclosures, 60.5% of the Class of 2013 obtained full-time, long-term, bar passage-required employment nine months after graduation, excluding solo-practitioners. The school ranked 75th out of the 201 ABA-approved law schools in terms of the percentage of 2013 graduates with non-school-funded, full-time, long-term, bar passage required jobs nine months after graduation.

Memphis Law's Law School Transparency under-employment score is 23.4%, indicating the percentage of the Class of 2013 unemployed, pursuing an additional degree, or working in a non-professional, short-term, or part-time job nine months after graduation. 83.1% of the Class of 2013 was employed in some capacity while 15.3% were unemployed nine months graduation.

Costs
The total cost of attendance (indicating the cost of tuition & fees) at Memphis Law for the 2017-18 academic year is $19,197 for Tennessee residents and $26,402 for non-residents.

Wakaresaseya

Wakaresaseya or wakaresase-ya (別れさせ屋) are Japanese businesses that specialize in breaking up relationships, often by drawing one of the partners into an affair or by producing other incriminating evidence. For a fee, a customer names a target, and an undercover employee of the company then attempts to initiate an affair with the target or produce other incriminating evidence. Though most often used to gather evidence of infidelity for use in a divorce case, it may also be used for purposes ranging from bringing shame to someone, securing the resignation of an employee, luring away the lover of one's spouse, or breaking up some other relationship.

The activities of these agencies were first widely reported in about 2000, and in 2001 the TV network NTV aired a drama series Wakaresase-ya. In 2005 there were around twelve such companies in Japan, but the field has grown since with companies offering services through the internet. In 2010 an internet search located some 270 wakaresaseya agencies. The cost of retaining such an agency was given as ranging from 500,000 to 1.6 million yen, not including a success bonus of 250,000–800,000 yen.

People involved in the business agree that men make easier targets and will almost always be seduced by good looking operatives.

The industry was especially reported on by Japanese and foreign media in 2010 when a former operative of a wakaresaseya agency was sentenced for murder. He had fallen in love with a female target the company had assigned to him. After the true nature of the relationship came to light, she wanted to leave him and he killed her.

Talk:Forward-looking infrared

Does this have anything to do with the company FLIR? Guerberj 22:33, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

The following was stuck at the end of the article, after the category tags. Perhaps someone can merge it into the text.--Srleffler 06:41, 27 October 2006 (UTC) "The original designer and manufacturer of the FLIR for the Sikorsky HH-53 Pave Low helicopter was Texas Instruments during the late 1970's. The term FLIR was in common usage at that time to describe any forward-looking infrared vision system. The FLIR for the original HH-53 Pave Low required one of the crewmen to wear a headset in order to view the image that was returned from the belly-mounted module."

"Citizen Privacy"
Do we really need this section? I don't think there's a very large outcry over FLIR use. ZakuTalk 02:27, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Support: I'm new here but someone has pointed out some of the legal concerns; and I remember hearing about it on NPR a long time ago. It seems that law wanted to use thermal imaging devices to scan homes without a warrent, and the concern that this was an invasion of privacy. The wiki sword cuts both ways on this issue; an issue doesn't require a large outcry to have a meaningful place in the wiki, but its also not a democracy where everything gets fair representation. I'd say that it stays and hopefully someone knowledgable in the subject matter can improve the copy. - Davandron | Talk 03:08, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Regarding Weak Support: As far as house searches are concerned, a FLIR device can not look through walls. A FLIR device only detects differences in surface temperature.

I rewrote that section using the last edits... citing that case makes a lot more sense and is much less POV than simply saying "it's an issue that needs to be raised." ZakuTalk 22:37, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

considering they don't bother to ask the people in the houses you see on police chases if they should be blurred from the image for lets say witness protection as an example, i'd say I don't think they care. and we are limited to 2nd generation by law somehow, i'm gunna build a 3rd gen camera and just leave it on record pointing up, see how they like it then. you may not think there is a very large outcry against privacy issues but thats where your sadly mistaken. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.196.88.51 (talk) 17:50, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

First/Second/Third generation FLIR
Can someone please add content about what distinguishes first, second, and third generation FLIR systems? I have heard these terms used a lot, but have not seen what (besides manufacture date) it is that distinguishes them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.147.208.161 (talk) 17:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC).

1st gen is brightening, 2nd gen is more technical brightening, 3rd gen is thermal. which is why "the public" arn't aloud to use 3rd gen, personally I think its to stop "terrorists" from getting the tech but its not that hard to make yourself so I actually don't get the issue unless its true, that 3rd gen flir can see blatent ufo's most of the time. do not argue this point, I have seen alot pointing to that over the terrorist theory. i mean come on, optics teachers arn't aloud 3rd gen for a university don't bs... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.196.88.51 (talk) 17:55, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

1st Generation generally refers to the "common module" platform FLIRs that had a single row of sensor elements that were scanned to create an image. Gen 2 are systems that incorporated a matrix sensor element and used time delayed integration (TDI) techniques to improve sensitivity. Reference: US Patent US 5510618 A — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.252.6.114 (talk) 19:35, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Regarding merging with "infrared camera"
The distinction between FLIR and tracking systems is important when discussing the evolution of infrared detector systems. Whilst a sideways tracking system can be used to build up images, whether it could be called a camera is debateable, and perhaps not relevant to the article on infrared cameras. (I would suggest renaming the entire “infrared camera” article to something like “infrared imaging”, but that is a personal opinion.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.71.226.54 (talk) 11:59, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd just like to add my support that merging the two articles is not a good idea, as to me they are separate topics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kj cheetham (talk • contribs) 10:52, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Unsupport unless the entire topic was redone in the vein of "Thermographic Imaging". FLIR is specific edge case of a generic IR imaging device, usually alluding to "Look-Down" capability. It is often described as having narrow field of view hence the "looking down a soda straw" effect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cowbert (talk • contribs) 04:38, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * do not support. Since its been a year and nobody supports the merge, I am going to remove it from the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.91.172.42 (talk) 15:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia >_<
Wikipedia always seems to have odd idea on what to merge and what not to merge. As far as I'm concerned, outside from a section of military use of thermal imaging, you should not merge a military article with one about imaging! OMG!

Pronunciation?
how do you pronounce flir? "fleer"? 98.192.200.202 (talk) 15:54, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

FLIR as a trademark?
A recent edit inserted a trademark notice into the name of a redirect. A redirect from "FLIR" exists (as it should), but there is no redirect from "FLIR (FLIR is a registered trademark of FLIR Systems, Inc.)" I have reverted the change and notified the IP to please discuss it here.

FLIR does have a registered trademark symbol on the logo on their website but I think the trademark applies to the entire logo, not just the four letters "FLIR." A very cursory check of their website does not show a trademark notice like the one that the IP entered, so I'm not sure how to proceed. If the IP can produce a reference to FLIR Systems' claim to a trademark on "FLIR" without the double-diamond logo, then we ought to look at how a notice of trademark can be put into the article. Dead Horsey (talk) 08:11, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Earlier edit history has another IP (very close by, probably the same person) giving trademark registration numbers in the edit summary. Registration #3313758 shows that the trademark is over the graphic element and the word together. A search for all trademarks registered by FLIR Systems shows several marks for FLIR with a graphic element, and one mark for FLIR as a standalone word. However, the standalone word does not have a registration number, and the last status is "non-final action mailed," with a response deadline of 27 Jan 2011.

 * If they have a bona fide trademark, let's recognize it. But let's verify that it is actually a trademark first. Dead Horsey (talk) 08:27, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Per MOS:TM we don't recognize trademarks in the way that IP has tried to do. We aren't obligated to do so, and it screws with our ability to present information objectively. —/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 16:23, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

TALK PAGE vs CONTENT PAGE
The content of this article is highly inaccurate, poorly written, and improperly sourced. The Talk Page contains more accurate and complete information than the article itself. Do not tell me I can fix it! I have written articles for Wikipedia that were much better sourced and formatted than this one and they were nitpicked to death for over two months until I gave in and deleted the entire thing, only to be told I could not delete it as it was no longer mine to delete! So would one of the moderators take a look as there are several, obvious flat out false statement about FLIR, along with a very bizarre amount of unrelated material included. 75.17.204.37 (talk) 19:06, 5 June 2012 (UTC) B

Company / DAG
Was looking for info on the company FLIR which doesn't seem to have a page. Still, I think there should be a DAG page or at least a mention in the opening blurb that this article is about the technology, not the company of the same name. 2607:4100:1:0:0:0:0:2 (talk) 19:05, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Pronunciation, Part Deux, is it still "forward looking" in a gimballed mount?
I see someone else has already asked this, but hasn't gotten any response. Since I have two topics to mention, I figured a new section was the best choice. I always pronounced it as "flur", but with a more "i" kind of accent. "Flirr"? But I just saw an advertisement for a company selling infrared imagers that pronounced their name "fleer". Granted, it could just be for copyright/trademark issues, but I would like to know, because I went all through elementary school pronouncing "infrared" as "in-FRARED". It wasn't until I turned 13 or so that I realized that "infrared" is the same thing as "infra-red", and is pronounced the same. I still blush to this day when I think of it! =/ If the pronunciation is added, I'd also appreciate it if it was done in the good old fashioned way they do it in encyclopedias, sounding out each syllable. It seems like most wiki pages only give this new, supposedly "improved, universal" pronunciation method, but it literally looks like Greek to me, all those upside down letters and strange characters. Maybe they teach that in schools today, but they didn't ten years ago when I was in school. Never understood why they can't just give both, until the "old" method is officially, and de facto, obsolete.

Also suggesting that it might just be a convenient name is that fact that the devices are only thermal scanners. Does "FLIR" now refer to any device that doesn't take composite, "time-exposure" shots? Originally, it referred to a scanner that was fixed on the aircraft, looking "forwards". But now we have devices that can scan all around, yet they are still called "forward looking" scanners. Isn't a "side-scan system" still looking "forward" relative to its own scanners? If one aims a gimbaled FLIR pod to scan to the side or rear, is it still a "FLIR" system? It would be nice if it specified this..45Colt 06:14, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Edit: I now note that it says in the article that "FLIR" is used to distinguish forward-looking systems from "...gimbal mounted units...", etc. This may be true, but I have seen many units capable of steering up to 90deg or more to each side called "FLIR" units in texts I've read. Most likely this is just inaccuracy, but a clearer statement would help. It would appear that many authors use "FLIR" much like "staring scanner". But a "staring" IR scanner can be either fixed or gimballed, while according to this article, a "FLIR" must be on a fixed, forward mount. And how about "FLIR" systems that have limited "steering" ability. I believe LANTIRN is considered a "FLIR" system, but it can be "steered" by like 20deg (?) to either side. Where is the cutoff when it's no longer "forward looking"? And I believe LANTIRN uses a gimbal mounting. I also notice that the image on this article shows a Damocles targeting pod, which clearly has a swiveling head, allowing the field of view to be steered. Otherwise, the aircraft would have to fly straight at whatever target it wished to image or target..45Colt 06:27, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Thomas Glendenning Hamilton

Thomas Glendenning Hamilton (November 27, 1873 – April 7, 1935) was a Canadian doctor, school board trustee and member of the Manitoba legislature, from 1915 to 1920. He was also a Spiritualist and is best known for the thousands of photographs he took during séances held in his home in Winnipeg in the early 1900s. His wife, Lillian May Hamilton, and his daughter, Margaret Hamilton Bach, were co-researchers and continued this enquiry into life after death after he died.

Life
T.G. Hamilton was born in 1873, in Agincourt (now part of Toronto), the son of James Hamilton and Isabella Glendenning. When T.G. was ten, the Hamiltons and their six children moved to Saskatchewan to homestead near Saskatoon. Not long after two tragedies occurred in rapid succession: T.G.’s father died in 1885 and a year later T.G.'s sister Margaret died of typhoid fever. This and the availability of educational opportunities elsewhere led the family to abandon Saskatchewan in 1891 to move to Winnipeg. T.G. was educated at Manitoba College and the Manitoba Medical College, graduating as an M.D. from the latter in 1903. He lectured in medical jurisprudence and clinical surgery at the Manitoba Medical College, and was an assistant surgeon at the Winnipeg General Hospital. He married Lillian May Forrester three years later and in 1910 set up a private medical practice in a home, later known as Hamilton House, located on what is now Henderson Highway in Elmwood, a suburb of Winnipeg. He and Lillian had four children: Margaret, Glen and in 1915, twins, Arthur Lamont and James Drummond. In terms of religion, the Hamiltons were Presbyterian and later members of the United Church of Canada.

Besides being a respected medical practitioner in his own city, Hamilton became a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons in 1920, president of the Manitoba Medical Association in 1921-22 and founder and first editor of the Manitoba Medical Bulletin, and president of the Canadian Medical Association in 1922. He was an elder of King Memorial church for 28 years. T.G. served on the Public School Board for nine years from 1906 to 1915, one year as chairman. T.G. was the first president of the University of Manitoba Alumni Association in 1921 and became the first president of the Winnipeg Society for Psychical Research in 1931.

Hamilton also served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1915 to 1920 as a member of the Liberal Party. He first sought election to the Manitoba legislature in the 1914 provincial election, and lost to Conservative Harry Mewhirter by 364 votes in the Elmwood constituency. He ran again in the 1915 election, and defeated new Conservative candidate D. Munro by 1,453 votes. The Liberals won a landslide majority in this election, and Hamilton served as a backbench supporter of Tobias Norris's government for the next five years.

Hamilton sought re-election in the 1920 provincial election, in the restructured ten-member constituency of Winnipeg. Members were elected by a single transferable ballot. Hamilton finished in twentieth place on the first count with 786 votes, and was eliminated on the 22nd count.

Paranormal investigations
In 1918 W.T. Allison, a professor of English at the University of Manitoba and a close friend of T.G., returned from a visit to American medium Pearl Curran. He passed on his interest and enthusiasm for spiritual communication to T.G. This may never have amounted to more than a passing interest had not fate intervened. In 1919, one of T.G.’s twin sons, Arthur, died at the age of three, a victim of the Spanish flu. T.G.’s daughter Margaret attributed the family’s lifelong search for life after death to this event. Her father’s grief was profound; her mother, having read Frederic William Henry Myers's book Human Personality and Its Survival of Bodily Death, encouraged her husband to investigate the phenomenon.

T.G. started with the use of Ouija board and experiments with mental telepathy with his United Church minister, Reverend Daniel Normal McLachlan. The family’s first medium was their Scottish nanny, Elizabeth Poole. She started out by using the Ouija board, but moved on in 1920 when the family was introduced to table tipping, where a table would stop tipping when the “correct” letter was pronounced aloud, somewhat akin to the Ouija board. This led to investigations into telekinesis, or the movement of physical objects through mental exertions. By now T.G. had established a separate room on the 2nd floor of the house which was to be kept locked at all times when it was not in use. T.G. wanted to investigate paranormal phenomena such as rappings, psychokinesis, ectoplasms, and materializations under scientific conditions that would minimize any possibility of error. A red bulb in the centre of the room provided light. A bank of about a dozen cameras were focussed on the side of the room where activity was to take place, their shutters open, waiting for Hamilton to set off a flash in order for them to all take photos at the same time. A three sided wooden cabinet that T.G. constructed open on one side was used in the telekinesis experiments, where Mrs. Poole would charge a small table by laying her hands on it, causing it to move from the cabinet.

By 1928, Mrs. Poole introduced the Hamilton family to two Scottish sisters-in-law, Mary Ann Marshall (1880-1963) and Susan Marshall, also known as Dawn and Mercedes. These two women became regular mediums at the Hamiltons’ “home circles.” The family would invite friends and members of the community to participate in their séances. Many of the persons who attended the home circles were also doctors and businessmen, such as celebrated lawyer Isaac Pitblado and Rh blood specialist Dr. Bruce Chown. The first table rappings and table tiltings of “Elizabeth M,” as Mrs. Poole was known, were followed by clairvoyance, trance states, automatic writing, visions, then the manifestations of materializations, wax molds, bell ringing and finally in 1928, ectoplasms. As a spiritualist Hamilton believed the ectoplasms to be materializations from the spirit world. He photographed the ectoplasm and Lillian took notes of what occurred in the 2nd floor room in Hamilton House. Margaret also served as recording secretary for many of her father's experiments.

At first T.G. and Lillian's investigations into the paranormal were held in secret. But T.G. went public in 1926, delivering a lecture on his research on telekinesis to the Winnipeg Medical Society. From that time until his death, Hamilton delivered eighty-six lectures and wrote numerous articles published in Canada and abroad. His fame spread and the Hamilton family's work became known in the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States. Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King and Americans Mina Crandon, the medium known as “Margery,” and her husband L.R.G. Crandon, all travelled to Winnipeg to participate in the Hamiltons’ séances. Among those who worked with Dr Hamilton were Ada Turner and her adopted son Harold Turner. Harold or "Norman" as he is called in the Hamilton records was interviewed by Norman James Williamson about his experience with the Hamilton group in 1982. When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes series, came to Winnipeg as part of a cross North American tour in 1923, he attended one of the Hamiltons’ home circles. Even after his death, the Hamiltons tried to contact Conan Doyle by mediumship. In 1935, T.G. Hamilton died suddenly of a heart attack. His wife Lillian and his daughter Margaret continued his work. Lillian and her son James Drummond produced a summary of T.G.’s work in the book Intention and Survival, published in 1942. When Lillian died in 1956, her daughter Margaret carried on. She wrote a series of articles in 1957 for Psychic News in England. These thirteen articles were collected in a booklet and also circulated to daily papers throughout Canada. Margaret later produced a second edition of Intention and Survival in 1977; a third edition came out in 1980.

Archival legacy
The Hamilton family left a rich legacy. Lillian compiled several scrapbooks of photos and other materials for her children. Margaret, however, was the one who collected all the papers from the family dealing with their paranormal research and deposited these with the University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections. The family's fonds, or papers, consist of 2.5 linear metres of textual and other materials, and include scrapbooks, séance attendance records and registers, affidavits, automatic writings, correspondence, speeches and lectures, news clippings, journal articles, photographs, glass plate negatives and positives, prints, slides, audio tapes, manuscripts and promotional materials related to major publications. The materials date from 1919-1986 and since their deposit have been supplemented by other related collections. A companion research grant established by the Hamilton family provides funds for researchers to travel to Winnipeg to study these and other archival collections.

Although these archives have held a strong attraction for those interested in the paranormal, more significantly they have had a very powerful effect in stimulating artistic and cultural expressions. T.G.’s photographs have captured the imagination of many curators. His photos have appeared in art exhibits throughout Canada, from the Dunlop Art Gallery in Regina, Saskatchewan, to the Prefix Institute of Contemporary Art in Toronto, Ontario. Internationally his photos were included in the exhibit "Spiritus" at Magasin3 Stockholm Konsthall in Sweden in 2003. In 2005 they appeared in the exhibition “The Perfect Medium: Photography and the Occult,” held at the Maison européenne de la photographie in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Later that year they were featured in the Symposium “Dark Rooms: Photography and Invisibility,” hosted by Princeton University. T.G.’s photographs and the Hamilton family’s archives are a major component of the work of Belfast artist Susan MacWilliam to appear in the 2009 Venice Biennale. They are also featured in the book: Susan MacWilliam: Remote Viewing (2009).

Beyond art exhibitions, the Hamilton archives have stimulated work in a number of other art forms. In 2007, the archives were the focus of the play “The Elmwood Visitation” by Winnipeg playwright Carolyn Gray, which won the playwright the Manitoba Day Award for excellence in archival research from the Association for Manitoba Archives. This play was later published by Scirocco Drama under the same name. The archives of the Hamilton family also provided the historic theme for the novel Widows of Hamilton House by Christina Penner in 2008. T.G.’s photos have appeared in films, including Winnipeg filmmaker Guy Maddin’s My Winnipeg (2008) and the more commercial horror film The Haunting in Connecticut (2009), among others. Numerous television shows have featured T.G. and his photographs. The television series Northern Mysteries included Hamilton in the episode entitled “Spiritualism” in 2005 and Hamilton was the focus of the television documentary “Chasing Hamilton’s Ghost,” as part of the Manitoba Moments series in 2005.

Claims of fraud
Skeptics suggest that the ectoplasm shown in the photographs could be made of tissue paper and cut-out photographs of people. However, if fraud occurred, it is not known who executed it. Chris Rutkowski points out that Hamilton was well-respected during his lifetime for his scientific methods.
