Fishman (wrestler)

José Ángel Nájera Sánchez (January 6, 1951 – April 8, 2017) was a Mexican luchador, or professional wrestler, best known under the ring name Fishman. Fishman was one of the top wrestlers in the mid-1970s and 1980s and worked for Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre, the Universal Wrestling Association, the World Wrestling Association and AAA in Mexico as well as frequent trips to Japan and the United States. Nájera was unmasked after losing a match in 2000 and retired shortly afterwards. Three of his sons are all luchadores enmascarados (masked wrestlers) known by their ring names Black Fish, El Hijo del Fishman and El Único de Ciudad Juárez.

Personal life
Nájera was born on January 6, 1951, in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico, with his family relocating to Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, while he was still very young. At an early age his mother and aunts would bring Nájera along when they would watch lucha libre shows at the local Toreo de Cuartro Caminos bullfighting arena from the time he was nine years old. During his formative years Nájera cited both Black Shadow and Blue Demon as his idols, favoring the rudos (lucha libre term for those that portray the bad guys) of the era over tecnicos (the "good guys") such as El Santo.

Nájera was married to María González, a luchadora who worked under the name Lola González, but the two later divorced. Nájera would later marry Leslie González (no relation to Maria González), but that marriage also ended in divorce. It has not been confirmed which wife is the mother of two of Nájera's sons, only that his first son was born out of wedlock. Nájera's sons all followed in his footsteps by becoming wrestlers enmascarados (masked wrestlers) and as such their birth names are not revealed per lucha libre traditions. While it is not uncommon in lucha libre for wrestlers to license their names to wrestlers who pretend to be second-generation wrestlers, Black Fish (originally Fishman Jr.), El Hijo del Fishman and El Único de Ciudad Juárez are all Nájera's biological sons.

Professional wrestling career
Nájera began training at the Juárez municipal gym at a young age, training alongside Miguel Ángel Delgado (who would later be known as El Cobarde), Francisco Javier Delgado (later on El Impostor and El Cobarde II) and Jesus Aguilar (the future El Marquez), with the four becoming good friends. His in-ring debut came as a bit of a surprise, as he was asked by the local Juárez wrestling promoter to fill in when one of the scheduled wrestlers failed to show up for that night's show. Wearing what was described as "underwear and old boots" (in reality sports shorts and a pair of borrowed boots) Nájera wrestled under the ring name "Goliath Reyes" and lost the match. He continued his training for several months before he began working as a full-time luchador. Instead of working as Goliath Reyes he created the masked character "Titán", complete with a colorful jacket that his mother helped him create.

After working as Titán for about a year Nájera was inspired by an off-hand comment from a tag team partner that the eyes on his mask looked like a fish. Taking that comment and pairing it with the popularity of superheroes such as Batman and Superman he came up with the character "Fishman". He designed a gold-and-black-colored mask with a design that was inspired by the shape of a manta ray wrapped around his face. After making a name for himself in Juárez as Fishman Nájera was called on by Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL), Mexico's largest wrestling promotion, and began working regularly on shows in Mexico City. When he came to Mexico City EMLL officials asked him to change the colors of his mask as the gold and black was too close to the mask of El Solitario, one of EMLL's headline wrestlers. Nájera changed the colors to a bright emerald green base and yellow markings, a color scheme that would later lead him to be dubbed El Veneno Verde ("The Green Poison") by wrestling magazines and fans.

Empresa Mexicana de la Lucha Libre (1971–1978)
In Mexico City he would stay at the guest house of wrestlers José Luis Mendieta and Jesus Reza, known as Rambo and Mano Negra respectively, as he started to work for EMLL full-time. He made his debut on the same night that El Solitario unmasked Ángel Blanco, working in front of a much larger crowd than he had in Juárez. Fishman's more brutal wrestling style, common in Juárez but not so in Mexico City, almost immediately made him a rudo (wrestlers who portray the "bad guys") with the fans. During his early days he won a couple of low ranking masks, defeating El Médico I, El Monarca and Professor Konak in Luchas de Apuestas, or bet matches, as a way to establish him as a rising star in EMLL. Further promotional support came on October 3, 1973, where EMLL decided he should win the Mexican National Welterweight Championship defeating El Marquez for the championship. On December 5, 1974, he unmasked a wrestler known as the Durango Kid after beating him in a Luchas de Apuestas match. His run as the Mexican National Welterweight Champion lasted over two-and-a-half year before it was vacated on March 5, 1975. Months later Fishman regained the title by defeating Alberto Muñoz in the finals of a tournament to regain the Welterweight Championship. On February 4, 1976, Fishman challenged Ringo Mendoza for the Mexican National Middleweight Championship but was not able to win it, this was rare for the time, both because Fishman was already a champion and that he was clearly identified as a welterweight. On April 23, 1976, in the main event of the 20. Aniversario de Arena México show, Fishman defeated El Faraón in a Luchas de Apuestas match, forcing Faraón to unmask and reveal his real name after the match as per lucha libre traditions. The Apuestas success was followed up by on April 9 when he defeated Blue Demon to win the NWA World Welterweight Championship, one of the top ranked championships in EMLL. With this win he vacated the Mexican National Welterweight Championship to allow him to focus on the NWA World title. On November 19, 1976, Fishman lost the title to Mano Negra as a part of a long running storyline between the two that had begun over the summer. In early 1977 he defeated Blue Demon to become a three time Mexican National Welterweight Champion. At this time he became involved in a three-way storyline against two other hated rudo characters El Cobarde and Sangre Chicana. The three-way storyline was the driving force behind both the first 44th Anniversary Show and the second 44th Anniversary Shows held in September 1977. On the first show, on September 23, the three men competed in a three-way Luchas de Apuestas match, in which El Cobarde was able to pin Fishman to escape from the match with his mask. In the end Fishman pinned Sangre Chicana, forcing him to unmask at the end of the show. The following week El Cobarde caused Fishman to lose the Mexican National Weltweight Championship to Kung Fu, leading to the two facing off for their masks the following day. On September 27 Fishman defeated his longtime back stage friend El Cobarde, forcing him to unmask, giving Fishman two major mask wins within a week of each other.

Universal Wrestling Association (1978–1992)
In 1978 Fishman was one of many EMLL wrestlers who left the company and joined the recently formed Universal Wrestling Association (UWA), founded by former EMLL promoter Francisco Flores and wrestler-turned-promoter Ray Mendoza. The UWA employed a hard-hitting style of wrestling that EMLL did not emphasize, responding to the demands of the younger lucha libre audiences.

On October 26, 1980, Fishman unsuccessfully challenged one of UWA's top tecnicos El Solitario for the UWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship but was unable to defeat El Solitario. UWA also enabled Fishman to travel to Japan to work for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) in 1981 through their partnership agreement. On December 12, 1980, Fishman defeated Perro Aguayo to win the UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship, holding it until March 1, 1981, where he lost it to Villano III. Later that same year he would win another championship from Perro Aguayo, winning the WWF World Light Heavyweight Championship. His first reign with that particular championship only lasted two weeks before Aguayo regained it. On July 19, 1981/ Fishman became a two time UWF World Lightweight Champion. In 1982 he appeared on several EMLL shows due to a working agreement between the UWA and EMLL. One such appearance saw Fishman the UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship against Ringo Mendoza. A few months later Sangre Chicana won the UWA Light Heavyweight championship from Fishman. On February 27, 1982, Fishman regained the UWA World Lightweight Championship, making him a three-time champion. On June 11, 1983, Fishman unsuccessfully challenged Japanese Tiger Mask for the WWF Junior Heavyweight Championship in the semi-final of UWA's Tercera Confrontacion Mexico - Japan show that drew approximately 30,000 spectators.

The UWA had working relationships with promotions all over the world, which allowed Fishman to tour Central America and also worked select shows for the Texas-based World Class Championship Wrestling, including an appearance at WCCW's June 1983 "Star Wars" event, where Fishman, Bill Irwin and the Mongol lost to WCCW regulars José Lothario, Chris Adams and Chavo Guerrero. On April 1, 1984, Fishman defeated Villano III in the finals of a tourmane to win his fourth UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship, the most of any wrestler while the UWA was around. On April 1, 1984, in Naucalpan, Mexico Fishman defeated Villano III in a tournament final to win his fourth UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship. In 1984 Fishman and fellow rudo Babe Face travelled to Japan to participate in All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW)'s Real World Junior Tag League. The team ended up with 0 points, losing to team such as Gran Hamada and Mighty Inoue, Chavo and Hector Guerrero, Atsushi Onita and Masanobu Fuchi, Magic Dragon and Ultra Seven. Back in Mexico Fishman began to team regularly with former rival Perro Aguayo, forming a team known as Los Compadres del Diablo ("The Devil's Companions"), a team that would later include El Canek as well. Fishman, Aguayo and El Faraón teamed up for Copa Ovaciones y Costalazos ("Cheers and Slams Cup") held by the UWA in 1984. The trio defeated Dos Caras, El Canek and Enrique Vera in the first round, Los Villanos (Villano I, Villano III and Villano V) in the semi-finals and then finally defeated Los Infernales (El Satánico, MS-1 and Pirata Morgan) to win the whole tournament.

In April 1986 Fishman was wrestling against El Solitario, during said match El Solitario reinjured himself and had to be taken to the hospital straight from the arena after the match. El Solitario, real name Roberto González Cruz, complained of abdominal pain and ended up needing surgery to stop an internal bleeding. The surgery was unsuccessful as González died while on the operating table. After the death of González some lucha libre magazine actually published stories that Fishman was responsible for González' death when in fact it had nothing to do with the match with Fishman but a condition González suffered from before he got in the ring for the match. Only days after the death of González it was decided to end Fishman's UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship run, partially to allow Fishman to take some time off from the public. Once the coroner verified that the match against Fishman itself did not cause the death of González Fishman returned to the ring, winning his second WWF World Light Heavyweight Championship from Villano III. On September 19, 1986, he successfully defended the championship against Pirata Morgan as part of the EMLL 53rd Anniversary Show. His regin ended on December 24, 1986, when he lost the championship to former partner Perro Aguayo. With Aguayo turning tecnico in 1986 Los Compadres del Diablo was renamed Los Asesinos del Ring and the two would later add the Killer to the trio. On January 29, 1989, Fishman, Kahoz, Zandokan and Rambo lost to Gran Hamada, Perro Aguayo, Dos Caras and Villaño III on the under card of the UWA 14th Anniversary Show.

World Wrestling Association (1988–1990)
In 1988 Fishman began splitting his time between the UWA and the World Wrestling Association (WWA) based out of Tijuana, Baja California. While working for the WWA he became involved in a long running storyline feud with one of WWA's main tecnico wrestlers, Rey Misterio. The stoyline saw Fishman unmask Rey Misterio on March 25, 1988, when he won a Luchas de Apuestas match. On March 11, 1989, Rey Misterio defeated Fishman in the finals of a tournament to become the first ever WWA World Junior Light Heavyweight Champion. Fishman became the second ever WWA World Junior Light Heavyweight Champion as he defeated Rey Misterio on May 18, 1990, holding it for 113 days before losing it to Villano IV.

Lucha Libre AAA World Wide (1992–1997)
With the UWA fading away by the early 1990s Fishman began working full-time for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración, later known simply as AAA, around 1992, shortly after AAA's creation. He wrestled on one of AAA's major annual shows, Triplemania II-A, teaming with Blue Panther and La Parka, losing to the team of Tiger Mask III, Konnan and Máscara Sagrada A few weeks later Fishman was part of Triplemania II-C as well, this time teaming with Fuerza Guerrera and Pirata Morgan, losing to El Torero, Rey Misterio, and Rey Misterio Jr. when Rey Misterio Jr. pinned Fuerza Guerrera. The following year gave him his first major victory in AAA when he, Cien Caras, Máscara Año 2000 and Jerry Estrada defeated Konnan, Perro Aguayo, Latin Lover and Máscara Sagrada. He also worked the 1996 Triplemania IV-C, teaming with Jerry Estrada, Villano IV and May Flowers only to lose to La Parka, Winners, Super Caló and El Mexicano In the fall of 1998 he teamed up with Angel Blanco, Jr. Cien Caras and El Halcon to participate in a tournament to determine the first Mexican National Atómicos Championship, defeating the team of Blue Demon Jr., Latin Lover, Mascara Sagrada and Super Calo in the first round. In the second round they lost to eventual tournament winners Pierroth Jr. and Los Villanos (III, IV and V). With age Fishman was not as fast in the ring and the brawling style of wrestling that previously made him a draw did not excite the fans of the 1990s as they were looking for more a high pace, high flying style like that of AAA's younger wrestlers.

Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (1998–1999)
Fishman returned to EMLL, now renamed Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), in 1998 billed as "legend" by CMLL. He participated in the 1998 Ruleta de la Muerte ("Roulette of Death") tournament where tag teams compete in a one night tournament, only in this case the losing team would advance in the tournament and if the team lost the final they would be forced to face each other with their masks on the line. Fishman and Lizmark teamed up for the tournament to defeat El Hijo del Santo and Guerrero del Futuro in the opening round. Hijo del Santo would go on to unmask Guerrero del Futuro in the main event. On March 19, 1999, CMLL held their annual Homenaje a Dos Leyendas: El Santo y Salvador Lutteroth ("Homage to Two Legends" El Santo and Salvador Lutteroth") show. The focal point of the show as the "Salvador Lutteroth Memorial tag team tournament". Fishman teamed up with fellow former UWA main eventer Villano III, but lost to Mr. Niebla and Shocker in the opening round. CMLL held another Ruleta de la Muerte tournament. For this tournament Fishman teamed with La Parka and lost in the first round to Mr. Niebla and Tinieblas Jr., but in the second round were able to defeat eventual tournament losers Shocker and Rey Bucanero.

Later Career(1999–2012)
In 1999 Fishman left CMLL, working a reduced schedule on the Mexican independent circuit instead. At some point after leaving CMLL he won his final mask, defeating Cina de Oro in his home town of Juárez. On December 25, 1999, Fishman, Lizmark, Villano III and Super Astro competed in a four-way elimination match, called a Relevos Suicidas where the first two wrestlers pinned would be forced to fight each other under Luchas de Apuestas rules. On the night both Fishman and Lizmark were able escape the match while Villano III defeated Super Astro to unmask him. Eight months later Fishman was involved in another Relevos Suicida match, organized by the recently formed Global Wrestling All Stars (GWAS). The four-way match between Fishman, La Parka, Máscara Sagrada and Shu el Guerrero was promoted by a new company, Global Wrestling All-Stars, whose first big show was held in the 20,000 seat Palacio de los Deportes area in Mexico City. The show was taped and supposed to be broadcast on pay-per-view but ended up being shown on regular TV later on. The show did not draw even close to half of the 20,000 capacity, estimates were around 300, partially due to the fact that there was no storylines leading to the main event. During the match the tecnicos La Parka and Máscara Sagrada worked together initially even though there were no actual teams in the match. At one point La Parka attacked Máscara Sagrada, tearing at his mask as he tries to get Sagrada pinned and thu saving his own mask. After the other three took turns attacking Máscara Sagrada they finally pinned him to force him to defend his mask that night. A little later Fishman was pinned as well, which was seen as a surprise as it was expected that Shu El Guerrero would be the one to lose his mask. The subsequent match between Fishman and Máscara Sagrada had the crowd on their feet cheering as Máscara Sagrada's white mask and suit turned crimson with blood, either Sagrada intentionally cut himself to draw blood or it was accidental. In the end Máscara Sagrada defeated Fishman, forcing him to unmask and reveal his real name to everyone in the arena or watching on PPV, José Ángel Nájera Sánchez. During his unmasking he was joined by a young El Hijo del Fishman who helped his father untie his mask and remove it. After the match the promoters informed Fishman that they unfortunately had not made enough profit from the show to pay him what they had agreed on for the mask loss. The promoters offered to sell their cars to cover the cost, but in the end they offered him a role with the promotion to stop any lawsuits. The following year Máscara Sagrada faced Fishman's older son Fishman Jr. in a Lucha en el Reves where two masked wrestlers face off in a match with their hair, not their masks, on the line. Fishman Jr. gained a measure of revenge by pinning Máscara Sagrada, forcing him to have his hair shaved off after the match.

Retirement, second-generation and death
The Apuestas match would mark Nájera's retirement from lucha libre, although he did make a couple of special appearances in subsequent years, one in 2011 in Japan teaming with Black Tiger and Itoku Hidaka, losing to Original Tiger Mask, The Great Sasuke and Mr. Cacao. He also worked on the "Villano III 40th Anniversary show", teaming with former UWA Headliners Dos Caras, Scorpio Jr. and Villano III to win the main event match over Negro Navarro, Rambo, Sangre Chicana and Villano IV. Following his retirement Nájera helped his youngest son make his pro wrestling debut in 2008 after first introducing the world to El Hijo del Fishman during his final Luchas de Apuestas match. His very last match ever happened on February 2, 2012, when Nájera was 61, as Fishman and Hijo del Fishman defeated long time rival Sangre Chicano and his son Sangre Chicano Jr.

His oldest son originally worked under the ring name "Fishman, Jr.", wearing a green and yellow mask like his father, but in 2007 he changed his name to Black Fish. The oldest son was born out of wedlock and when his other son wanted to use the name Nájera decided to take back the rights to the "Fishman" name to avoid confusion. His oldest son decided to sue for the rights to the name but ended up changing his ring name to Black Fish instead, using a black and silver version of the mask his father made famous. A third son works as El Único de Ciudad Juárez. Hijo del Fishman sometimes teams up with El Canek Jr. to form a team known as Los Nuevos Asesinos del Ring, playing off the past history of the name between Fishman and El Canek, and at times joined by El Hijo del Medico Asesino.

In 2009 Nájera, wearing the Fishman mask, was present at the presentation of the Disney XD channel in Mexico. In 2015 the magazine "Calistada" did a feature on the Museum of Popular Arts exhibition on Lucha Libre, featuring Fishman on the cover, chosen because he was the favorite wrestler of author Miguel Valverde. Fishman was also present for the press conference held by the Calista magazine.

Nájera died on April 8, 2017, of a heart attack. It was noted that Nájera had looked frail in his last public appearances.

This page should be moved to U.S. 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment to conform to other units in Wikipedia. WikiDon 02:54, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I hope we don't have to. Other units must have a "U.S" prefix, to distinguish them from other British, French units.  Aren't these PIR titles unique enough for titles?  "506th PIR" is unique.   Beanbatch 21:30, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't think we need to prefix "U.S." but it should be moved; it's no longer a parachute infantry regiment, like the 502nd Infantry Regiment and others in the 101st Airborne Division. It's the 506th Infantry Regiment.

Why does it say stuff like Soebel was the initial officer in charge and Speirs the last ? It makes it sound like the 506th ceased to be after WW2. I think whoever wrote that part is confusing fiction (Band of Brothers) with reality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.105.148.84 (talk) 14:21, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Should there be a separate page for Sgt. Leslie Halasz Sabo, who was killed during the Vietnam War and is now being considered for the Medal of Honor? There already is a separate page for GWOT hero Dakota Meyer, who is "nominated" for the Medal of Honor, although I'm not certain what that means. Congressman Jason Altmire reported last year that Sabo's MOH recommendation is awaiting final approval from President Barack Obama, which indicate that Sabo is closer to the award than Meyer and that Sabo meets Wikipedia's notability requirements. Sabo's story has been reported in at least three newspapers (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Ellwood City Ledger and New Castle News) that have been cited by Wikipedia as sources, which indicates that it meets Wikipedia's credibility standard. (Disclosure: My name is Eric Poole. I wrote the Ellwood City Ledger stories and self-published Sabo's biography, Forgotten Honor, with the participation of Sabo's family members and his Army comrades.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ESP0704 (talk • contribs) 16:38, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Rena humilis

Rena humilis, known commonly as the western blind snake, the western slender blind snake, or the western threadsnake, is a species of snake in the family Leptotyphlopidae. The species is endemic to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Six subspecies are currently recognized, including the nominate subspecies described here.

Description
Rena humilis, like most species in the family Leptotyphlopidae, resembles a long earthworm. It lives underground in burrows, and since it has no use for vision, its eyes are mostly vestigial. The western blind snake is pink, purple, or silvery-brown in color, shiny, wormlike, cylindrical, blunt at both ends, and has light-detecting black eyespots. The skull is thick to permit burrowing, and it has a spine at the end of its tail that it uses for leverage. It is usually less than 30 cm in total length (tail included), and is as thin as an earthworm. This species and other blind snakes are fluorescent under low frequency ultraviolet light (black light).

On the top of the head, between the ocular scales, L. humilis has only one scale (L. dulcis has three scales).

Common names
Common names for R. humilis include western slender blind snake, western threadsnake, and western blind snake.

Geographic range
R. humilis is found in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. In the US it ranges from southwestern and Trans-Pecos Texas west through southern and central Arizona, southern Nevada, southwestern Utah, and southern California. In Mexico its distribution includes the Mexican states of Baja California, Sonora, Sinaloa, Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima, Chihuahua, Durango, Coahuila, Tamaulipas, and San Luis Potosí.

The type locality given is "Valliecitas, Cal." The type locality was restricted by Klauber (1931) to "vicinity of Vallecito, eastern San Diego County, California," and by Brattstrom (1953) to "the Upper Sonoran Life Zone of the Vallecito area".

Habitat and diet
Rena humilis lives underground, sometimes as deep as 20 m, and is known to invade ant and termite nests. Its diet is made up mostly of insects and their larvae and eggs. It is found in deserts and scrub where the soil is loose enough to work.

History and sources
Seems like just about all the history is copy paste from the marchfield.org website. I've gone through and copyedited a lot of it. Also, many of the references aren't noted anywhere, and since they are paper based it's hard to know where they should be noted. As it stands, all of the history is from a single source. Additional sources, or a clarification of the paper based sources would be great. Lvi56 (talk) 08:27, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Unipolar motor

A unipolar motor (also called homopolar motor) is a direct current (DC) motor typically with slip-rings on each end of a cylindrical rotor and field magnets or a DC field winding generating a magnetic field on the stator. The rotor has typically not a winding but just straight connections in axial direction between the slip-rings (e.g. a copper tube encasing the rotor or rods embedded in the rotor).

The field is uniformly perpendicular to the cylindrical rotor surface and does not change polarity over the 360-degree perimeter of the cylindrical part of the rotor. That means if the field is considered entering the rotor between the slip-rings it must leave the rotor though the rotor's end surfaces. It is not important that the magnetic field is generated from the stator; a similar field may be generated from the rotor with the same effect (the magnetic fields would not rotate with the rotor).

Unipolar motors and generators are rarely built any more because of advancing technology.

The voltage between the rotor connections (slip-rings) is normally low and the current then must be high to generate significant power. Current in the kiloampere range was applied for larger motors. The device also works in reverse as a generator if driven. It is useful for generating very large currents at low voltage. It does not appear to comply with a simple interpretation of Maxwell's equations in the sense that the magnetic field does not at any point pass through any closed winding to generate an electromagnetic effect.

Other definition
A unipolar motor is also a type of small DC electric motor commonly found in small, portable cassette players. In this case, the 'unipolar' property refers to its winding that does not need to change current direction and therefore can be driven by a simple transistor (e.g. IGBT). It is also used in stepper motors.

The Outbursts of Everett True

The Outbursts of Everett True (originally titled A Chapter from the Career of Everett True) was an American two-panel newspaper comic strip created by A. D. Condo and J. W. Raper that ran from July 22, 1905 to January 13, 1927, when Condo had to abandon it for health reasons.

Two contemporary collections appeared in 1907 and 1921, and it was the Newspaper Enterprise Association's "most popular feature". Subsequently, aside from an appearance in Alley Oop in 1969 the strip was largely forgotten until 1983 when one of the collections was reprinted that year, and comic book writer Tony Isabella and various artists employed the character in a new strip for the Comics Buyer's Guide and The Comics Journal. In this modernization, Everett True directed his outbursts at comic book artists, writers, publishers and distributors. In 2015, a new collection was published under the title Outbursts of Everett True with an introduction by Trevor Blake.

Characters and story
The original strip revolved around an ill-tempered man in late middle-age who was typically dressed in a suit and bowler hat of antiquated and comical appearance for the time. Without his hat he was completely bald. In the early cartoons he was moderately stout, but in the later ones he became increasingly portly. He often smoked a short cigar.

The first panel of each strip generally had someone inconveniencing or annoying True, an innocent bystander or an animal. In the second panel he would then make an ill-tempered outburst. In early cartoons this was usually an uninhibited rant which expressed what other people wanted to say, but were too polite to. Sometimes it was accompanied by comments from bystanders in speech-bubbles ("that's the way I like to hear a man talk"; "I wish I could hand out one like that"). Later cartoons were more slapstick in character. True would exact his revenge by either berating or (if confronting a man) pummelling the offender. The only character who occasionally turned the tables on True was his wife, who appeared occasionally to berate or beat him for some unacceptable behavior.

Adaptations
The American Bioscope Company made a series of silent short movies featuring Everett True, the first of which, Everett True Breaks Into the Movies, was released in 1916, starring Robert Bolder as Everett and Paula Reinbold as Mrs. True.

Was there for WT 82, 84, 86, and 94 too when the place was really hopping with a dozen teams of F-4s, F-15s, F-16s, and CF-18s on top of all the local birds and TDY targets.

No Mention of AFRES HQ?
Air Force Reserve Headquarters has been located at Robins(on 2d Street) for quite some time. It's also home to the Band of the Air Force Reserve.

Also, there's no mention of the former 19th Bomb Wing, or the former 116th Bomb Wing(GANG).

This article needs to be re-worked....
As someone who works in the History Office of WR-ALC, it is obvious that this article is not complete or entirely correct. There needs to be footnotes citing sources instead of just listing them randomly at the bottom of the page.

Over-the-horizon radar
An over-the-horizon radar was built in the 1980's on Robins, to give a little bit of extra warning of an incoming submarine-launched ballistic missile, but was never more than minimal tested for fear of microwaving Savannah.

This is something we have looked at Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor. Before 1947, there were no air force bases simply because there was no Air Force. Rather, the United States Army Air Forces (yes, plural) bases were called fields. After the USAF was created in 1947, its fields became air force bases, with Hickam Field becoming Hickam Air Force Base in 1948. Historically, Hickam Field was the primary base for bombers on Oahu. For pursuit aircraft (fighters), it was Wheeler Field. Other fields were Haleiwa Field and Bellows Field. All of the official documents from that time say Hickam Field. A good historical source is Arakaki, Leatrice R. and Kuborn, John R., 7 December 1941: The Air Force Story, Pacific Air Forces, Office of History, Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, 1991. Leatrice R. Arakaki was the historian of the 15th Air Base Wing, and John Kuborn was the deputy command historian at Headquarters, Pacific Air Forces. Until recently, Hickam Air Force Base and Pearl Harbor Naval Station were separate facilities. On October 1, 2010, they were combined into Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. Neither exists any longer as separate entities. For the joint base's history, see http://www.cnic.navy.mil/regions/cnrh/installations/jb_pearl_harbor_hickam/about/history.html.

The Mary Ellen Carter

"The Mary Ellen Carter" is a song written and first recorded by Stan Rogers in 1979. It tells the story of a heroic effort to salvage a sunken ship, the eponymous Mary Ellen Carter, by members of her crew.

Original version
The song chronicles the efforts to salvage the ship, implying that it will be raised on the following day:

The song ends with an inspirational message to people "to whom adversity has dealt the final blow": Never give up, and, "like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again!"

The song appears on three of Rogers' albums:

 * Between the Breaks...Live!
 * Home In Halifax
 * The Very Best of Stan Rogers

Cover versions by notable artists

 * Derina Harvey Band, an Edmonton-based Celtic rock group, published a cover of the song in 2016.
 * Jim Post began performing the song in the 1980s
 * Makem and Clancy began performing the song in the 1980s, recording it on their 1986 album We've Come a Long Way
 * The English a cappella trio Artisan popularised their harmony version in UK folk circles throughout the 1980s and 1990s
 * Portland, Maine based folk group Schooner Fare recorded the song on their 1983 album Alive!.
 * Ian Robb recorded it with the other members of Finest Kind on his album From Different Angels.
 * It was recorded by the seven piece Newfoundland band The Irish Descendants as part of the tribute album Remembering Stan Rogers: An East Coast Tribute, performed by various artists at Rogers' favorite venue in Halifax, Dalhousie University
 * The song was covered by Alex Beaton and featured on his Live in Concert album, released in 2012.
 * The song was covered by American folk-punk band Mischief Brew on a 7-inch split released in 2013.
 * The Bristolian folk group The Longest Johns released a rendition of the song in 2020.

Legacy
As a tribute to Stan Rogers, "The Mary Ellen Carter" has been sung to close the annual Winnipeg Folk Festival every year since his death.

During the finale of the Annual Summerfolk Music and Crafts Festival held in Owen Sound, Ontario, "The Mary Ellen Carter" is sung together by many of the weekend festival's performers and the audience in tribute to Stan Rogers, who was one of the festival's original supporters and after whom the main stage was named.

Connection to the sinking of the Marine Electric
On February 12, 1983 the ship Marine Electric was carrying a load of coal from Norfolk, Virginia to a power station in Somerset, Massachusetts. The worst storm in forty years blew up that night, and the ship sank at about four o'clock in the morning on February 13. The ship's chief mate, 59-year-old Robert M. "Bob" Cusick, was trapped in the deckhouse as the ship went down. His snorkeling experience helped him avoid panic and swim to the surface, but he was left to spend the night alone on a partially deflated lifeboat he eventually reached, in water barely above freezing and air much colder. Huge seas washed over him, and each time he was not sure that he would ever reach the surface again to breathe. Battling hypothermia, he was tempted to allow himself to fall unconscious and be washed away. Just then he remembered the concluding stanzas of "The Mary Ellen Carter".

As Cusick tells in One Warm Line, a documentary about Rogers, he started to sing it and soon was alternately shouting out "Rise again, rise again" and holding his breath as the seas washed over him. At seven o'clock that morning a Coast Guard helicopter spotted him and pulled him to safety. Only three men of the thirty-four who had been aboard survived the wreck. After his ordeal, Cusick wrote a letter to Stan Rogers telling him what had happened and crediting the song with saving his life. In response, Rogers invited Cusick to attend what turned out to be the second-to-last concert Rogers ever performed. Cusick lived another 30 years, and his testimony and activism in the aftermath of the accident spurred far-reaching maritime safety reforms.

Wikipedia:Collaboration of the week/Proposed Iraqi constitution

Proposed Iraqi constitution

 * Nominated on 03:06, 28 August 2005 (UTC); needs 15 votes by 17 September 2005.

this constitution and its process and its success or failure are of vital to the future and balance of the middle east and international power. the article is currently a stub!! i'd like to see people work together to make this article strong. It should be more comprehensive, like Constitution of Afghanistan.

 * Shouldn't we wait until it becomes the Iraqi constitution and then write an article? Info on the proposed constitution should be placed into the Post-invasion Iraq, 2003–2005 article or something. But hey, that's just me. Let's see what other people have to say. KNewman 12:35, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * This is going to be one of the biggest news stories from now until the referendum on October 15, and the current article is little more than a stub. - SimonP 16:36, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * KNewman, we can't sit and wait for it to pass before we write about this proposed constitution. it might not ever get passed. iraq might fall into a civil war. three different groups are vying for power, and this proposed constitution is where these power struggles are currently playing out. the U.S. media is doing a terrible job at informing people what the groups are arguing over and what the proposals say. we have an opportunity here to (once again) get a thorough account of the story before the mainstream media does so. i'd write the article myself, but i'd really like to get a group of people working on it. i've never participated in a sanctioned collaboration like this. i'd like to see how the experience works. as i stated before, the success or failure of this constitution will have tremendous influence over international relations in the future. we have to opportunity to document it as it happens. Kingturtle 19:10, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I think having a good article on this topic in the next week or two would be a major score for Wikipedia. A lot of people are going to come here looking for this information. -- Beland 03:06, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Willie Nile

Willie Nile (born Robert Anthony Noonan; June 7, 1948) is an American singer-songwriter.

In 1980, Nile released his self-titled debut album. His early career was interrupted by various problems, but he eventually returned to recording and performing in the US and Europe, establishing himself as a singer-songwriter.

Early life
Born in Buffalo, New York, into what he called "a gregarious Irish Catholic family". He grew up with two older brothers who played piano, and a mother who "used to always have music in the house. Whether it was classical or big band or popular hits of the times, something was always playing." His grandfather ran an orchestra in Buffalo and was a vaudeville pianist who played with Bill "Bojangles" Robinson and Eddie Cantor.

Nile studied philosophy at the University at Buffalo and lived in Greenwich Village while beginning his music career. He contracted pneumonia and wrote songs while he spent a year recuperating. Afterward, he began frequenting such clubs as CBGB, where he saw performers including Patti Smith, Television, the Ramones, and Talking Heads.

Early years
Nile established residency at Kenny's Castaways, a Greenwich Village club, where he was discovered by New York Times music critic Robert Palmer who described Nile as "the most gifted songwriter to emerge from the New York folk scene in some while". This led to a meeting with Clive Davis and a record deal with Arista Records. He went into the studio with a band that included Jay Dee Daugherty from the Patti Smith Group and Fred Smith from Television. He was described by Stephen Holden of the New York Times as a "live wire" in concerts.

Following the release of his debut album, Willie Nile, he joined The Who's 1980 summer tour.

After his second album 1981's Golden Down, Nile became involved with protracted legal problems which curtailed his career for a number of years.

Re-emergence
Although he continued to write, Nile did not perform live or record again until a 1987 performance in Oslo, Norway, with Eric Andersen. A videotape of Nile's performance in Norway prompted a Columbia talent scout to sign him to the label in 1988. For reasons that are unclear, production on his album did not start for two more years. It was another significant delay in the troubadour's career. Issued in 1991, his Columbia Records CD, Places I Have Never Been, contained the songs "Everybody Needs A Hammer" and "Heaven Help The Lonely". Places I Have Never Been featured appearances by backing musicians including Richard Thompson, Loudon Wainwright III, Roger McGuinn, and members of The Hooters and The Roches. On June 11, 1991, Nile was the guest musician on the Late Night with David Letterman show. Nile has recorded and performed with several musicians, including Ringo Starr, Tori Amos, Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams, Ian Hunter, and Barenaked Ladies. A live Central Park concert album, Willie Nile-Archive Alive, was released on Archive Recordings, and Nile was one of the vocalists on the 1998 ensemble album Largo, along with Joan Osborne, Cyndi Lauper, Levon Helm, The Chieftains, Taj Mahal and Carole King. Another project found Nile writing and performing most of the songs for the soundtrack to the Kevin McLaughlin film Pinch Me!.

Gathering together his resources over time, he put out his first self-released album, Beautiful Wreck of the World, in 1999. It was chosen as one of the Top Ten Albums of the Year by critics at Billboard magazine, The Village Voice and Stereo Review.

Lucinda Williams called "On the Road to Calvary", Nile's song for Jeff Buckley, "One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard". The album reached the finals of the Independent Music Awards for Best Rock Album of the Year.

21st-century renaissance
In late 2003, Nile was invited to share the stage at three concerts with the E Street Band, including the two final Giants Stadium shows as well as the two last shows of that particular tour at Shea Stadium.

In 2006, Nile released Streets of New York to good reviews. Former Time magazine music critic, and Academy Award-winning screenwriter, Jay Cocks writes of Streets of New York, "The tunes he writes and plays with such blowtorch vibrancy get the myth and magic and danger and sadness and love in this town—of this town—truer, and righter, than anything I've heard since Dion. This record is a head-twister and heart-wrencher. It's rock and roll at its best. It's New York at its best. And there's nothing better than that."

House of a Thousand Guitars was released to positive reviews on April 14, 2009.

On November 22, 2009, Nile joined the E Street Band for the cover of Jackie Wilson's "Higher and Higher".

On April 23, 2013, at a ceremony in Leeds, England, Nile was named Legacy Ambassador for the Buddy Holly Educational Foundation.

On June 25, 2013, Nile released his eighth studio album, American Ride through Loud & Proud Records. Nile originally had planned on self-distributing through money raised on PledgeMusic.com. The decision to sign onto a record label occurred after he was approached by Tom Lipsky, president of Loud & Proud Records. The New Yorker said "One of the most brilliant (and most confounding) singer-songwriters of the last thirty years... he reappeared this year with "American Ride", another stellar album of tough, insightful rock and roll.

On November 11, 2014, Nile released If I Was a River, a 10-track all piano album, composed by Nile with assistance from his long-time collaborator Frankie Lee.

At a surprise appearance at the 2015 Light of Day Benefit in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Bruce Springsteen joined Nile on stage to perform Nile's "One Guitar". On May 28, 2015, at the Best Buy Theatre in New York City, Nile joined Springsteen, Joan Jett, Roger Daltrey and Billy Idol at the 11th annual MusiCares MAP Fund benefit concert to honor Pete Townshend, for his commitment to helping other musicians with addictions.

On July 27, 2018, Nile released the album Children of Paradise. The album was well received and given excellent reviews. Associated Press' Kiley Armstrong says it is "his best album to date". In a July 2018 review of the album Audiophilie says "Willie Nile has a lot to say and clearly some great songs in his back pocket. You just need to listen. If you have even a bit of conscience remaining, you should listen to Willie's albums of the last 10 years or so. You might just get inspired by his 21st century renaissance".

On March 15, 2020, Nile released his 13th studio album, New York at Night. Nile described it as "throwing another log on the fire", defining his passion for his music. Along with the title track, the album included the previously released "Run Free", "New York is Rockin'" which he co-wrote with Curtis Stigers for Stigers' 1995 album Time Was, "Surrender the Moon", a song he started with his brother John, who died years ago, and reflections on love; "A Little Bit of Love", "The Last Time We Made Love", and "Downtown Girl". American Songwriter magazine rated the album 3½ of 5 stars and said that Nile belongs in a class of New York songwriters with Dion. Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Garland Jeffreys, The Ramones, New York Dolls and others. Giving the album an 88/100 rating, Elmore Magazine says "Jersey has Bruce Springsteen, but New York has Willie Nile".

In 2022, Nile's 2006 album Streets of New York was chosen "Classic American Album" by David Jarman of Americana-UK.

Tao of Jeet Kune Do

Tao of Jeet Kune Do is a book expressing Bruce Lee's martial arts philosophy and viewpoints, published posthumously (after Bruce Lee's death in 1973). The project for this book began in 1970 when Bruce Lee suffered a back injury during one of his practice sessions. During this time he could not train in martial arts. He was ordered by his doctors to wear a back brace for 6 months in order to recover from his injury. This was a very tiring and dispiriting time for Lee who was always very physically active.

It was during his convalescence that he decided to compile a treatise on the system or approach to martial arts that he was developing; he called it Jeet Kune Do. The bulk of these writings would become the "core set of writings". Many of these writings were done during a single session which provided natural continuity. Lee had also kept various notes throughout the development of his combat philosophy and these would become the disparate notes used in the book. Many of these notes were "sudden inspirations" which were incomplete and lacked any kind of a construct. The combination of the "core set of writings" and the "disparate notes" would be known as the text Tao of Jeet Kune Do.

In 1971, it was Lee's intent to finish the treatise that he started during his convalescence. However, his film career and work prevented him from doing so. He also vacillated about publishing his book as he felt that this work might be used for the wrong purposes. Lee's intent in writing the book was to record one man's way of thinking about the martial arts. It was to be a guidebook, not a set of instructions or "How to" manual to learn martial arts.

In 1975, after Bruce Lee's death, his widow Linda Lee Cadwell decided to make available the information her husband had collected. Lee's untimely death changed the perspective of releasing the information that Bruce Lee had vacillated about. The "core writings" and various notes were put together in a logical fashion by various editors. The main editor was Gilbert L. Johnson, with Linda Lee, Dan Inosanto and other students of Bruce Lee helping him understand Jeet Kune Do well enough to editorialize and organize Lee's material into text.

The book is dedicated to: The Free, Creative Martial Artist. Lee's wife, Linda Lee Cadwell holds the copyright to the book. The book is attributed to Bruce Lee as his notes and work were used to compile the book. Although Lee's material was utilized, it was not organized by him; therefore Bruce Lee was not strictly its author.

Bruce Lee's autobiography
Tao of Jeet Kune Do was compiled posthumously from Bruce Lee's personal notes, some of which were in turn copied from Bruce Lee's personal library of martial arts and philosophical books. Ohara Publications has acknowledged Edwin Haislet, Hugo and James Castello, Roger Crosnier and Julio Castello as original sources. After the book's initial publication, additional passages were discovered to have been sourced from the works of D.T. Suzuki, Eric Hoffer, and other authors. Many of Bruce Lee's statements are derived from his own studies of various schools of philosophy and the martial arts, and are sometimes paraphrases of previous expressions by others which he wrote down for his own instruction into his own words.

1975 1st edition
In 1975 the Tao of Jeet Kune Do was first made available only in paperback. The book was first made available in hardback in 1976. Subsequent editions have been available in paperback form only except for the following; In 2006, Black Belt Magazine offered this book in hardback form, on a 500-copy Limited Collector's Edition; the book is personally signed by Bruce Lee's widow Linda Lee Cadwell and his daughter Shannon Lee. Copies of the hardback edition from such sources as eBay typically fetch high prices and usually do not include the much sought after dust jacket.

Comments
According to one account of the hunt, Hylaeus and Rhaecus, two centaurs, tried to rape Atalanta, but Meleager killed them.

I read in a book called "Mythology" (I forgot who was the author but I know it was a woman in her 60's or something) that it was Atalanta who killed the centaurs and not Meleager. I want to know if any one heard of that too?--TKGB 17:58, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Edith Hamilton? Yes, I have read that also.

i read that too on the internet!

 * Yes, it must have been Edith Hamilton. There are different versions of stories.  Yes, it is true that Atalanta did kill two centaurs who pursued her.  However, yes, Atalanta did not kill Meleager.  It was Meleager's mother that killed her son because Meleager killed her two favorite brothers. ~ Rhana  ~ {♦} talk page 19:40, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Who exactly is typing this?
And I quote: Atalanta was forbiden to be wed because the oracle said the her life would go down the tubes if she did. Atalanta bore (Ares or Meleager) a son: Parthenopeus, who participated in the campaign of the Seven Against Thebes.

 * forbiden*? *go down the tubes*? *said the her*? That is just really bad for an article about ancient Greek mythology. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.255.212.9 (talk) 00:10, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Apparently. :) It looks like someone vandalized the article. ~ Rhana  ~ {♦} talk page 19:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

And I quote: They were cursed by the priests after seeing Melanion stroking her large breasts as if they were Aphrodite's own (thus suggesting that her naked form was as beautiful as the goddess's). who's typing THIS? Atalanta was supposed to be a warrior princess and a fast-runner. And she can accomplished all that with big jugs?

Conflation?
I thought that there were two Atalantas, one with the boar and one with the race? Am I wrong? 69.153.27.216 03:25, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

She was unwilling to marry unless any man could beat her at a foot race.

There was only one Atalanta!!!!

Yes, it has been said there were actually two heroines named Atalanta. :) The two men, Iasus and Schoenius are each called the father of Atalanta.  If there really was two maidens of the same name, it is surprising how both wanted to sail on the Argo, both hunted in the Calydonian boar hunt, both married the man who beat them in a running race, and both were changed into lionesses.  Because the stories are fairly similar, it is said that there was really only one Atalanta. ~ Rhana  ~ {♦} talk page 19:37, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Fan comment?
This paragraph was in the main article. It is interesting but should it really be there without external references to some scholarly work - otherwize it sounds like "original research". No?

MEANING OF THIS MYTH
Atalanta didn't want to get married,he challenged men to compete in running games,they were loosing and she was killing them.and then melanion showed up.What the writer of this story wanted to say is that atalanta did purposely left melanion to win because she liked him. The golden apples of aphrodite mean his looks. One of the most romantic (and clever) stories of greek mythology.
 * Atalanta is a girl, so who is "he?" How you know that Atalanta purposely left Melanion (Milanion)?  Do you have these citations?  And the golden apples didn't belong to Aphrodite. ;)  They belonged to the Hesperides originally. ~ Rhana  ~ {♦} talk page 19:34, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

The Golden Apples did belong to the Hesperides originally, but Heracles (Hercules) was required to steal 3 Golden Apples from the garden of the Hesperides as one of his 12 Labours. He had no use for the apples, so he gave them to Athena. Athena then gave the apples to Aphrodite (I have no idea why). Atalanta made oath to Artemis to be an eternal maiden, and she refused to fall in love. Unless there is proof, I believe the myth is literal when it talks about "Golden Apples" and other such things; not metaphorical nor of inexact meaning. MelancholyPanda (talk) 19:23, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Our articles are built up;on what reliable sources have to say about a subject. Dougweller (talk) 18:13, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Actual myth?
This page could really do with more info on the actual Greco-Roman Atalanta myth. As is, it just has her parentage and some info on her appearances, which is pretty irrelevant. I'll update it if I manage to find my myth encyclopedia, but if someone could give it a shot in the mean time, that would be nice. Geekboy72 (talk) 18:01, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree on your suggestion. I think this article just now mainly focus more on the Greek mythological Atlanta; how she was raised and how she helped fight the Calydonian  boar.  We should also include the race; she would only marry the man who could beat her on foot in a race. ~ Rhana  ~ {♦} talk page 19:32, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

If you look in the history of the page, you'll see that someone blanked the 'legend' section, and that in the next month nobody noticed. I'm too lazy to fix it and it can't be reverted, so you might want to look into that.99.244.97.75 (talk) 00:45, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Link to Atlanta
There is a link to the Atlanta, GA article, which seems completely irrelevant. Is Atalanta ever even known as Atlanta? 173.168.204.148 (talk) 21:35, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

 * I have removed this link. Looking at the Atlanta article, it's pretty clear that Atalanta has nothing to do with Atlanta, as the city was named after the railroad that originated there. Bantam1983 (talk) 09:00, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Out of Control "Cultural Depictions" Section
Whoa, nelly. How about we just pick the two or three most prominent mentions of Atalanta and throw out the rest of these mostly tedious descriptions? It's practically a list down there.Tdimhcs (talk) 20:36, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Update: I think I have improved it. If some rabid fan of Golden Sun is upset that I just deleted the description of how many Jupiter djinns it takes to summon Atalanta in the aforementioned video game, speak now or forever hold your peace.Tdimhcs (talk) 20:47, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Orchid: Cattleya Atalanta
There is a hybrid orchid named Cattleya Atalanta that is white to very pale and smells like cloves. It is spectacular.

Lobgesang

Lobgesang (Hymn of Praise), Op. 52 (MWV A 18 ), is an 11-movement "Symphony-Cantata on Words of the Holy Bible for Soloists, Choir and Orchestra" by Felix Mendelssohn. After the composer's death it was published as his Symphony No. 2 in B-flat major, a naming and a numbering that are not his. The required soloists are two sopranos and a tenor. The work lasts almost twice as long as any of Mendelssohn's purely instrumental symphonies.

History
It was composed in 1840, along with the less-known Festgesang "Gutenberg Cantata", to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the invention of Johannes Gutenberg's movable type printing system.

In 1842 Mendelssohn had published his Scottish Symphony as "Symphony No. 3", however a "Symphony No. 2" had never been published during Mendelssohn's lifetime. Possibly the composer's intention was to spare this number for his earlier Italian Symphony, which he premiered in 1833, but afterwards withheld for a revision that was never completed. The Italian Symphony was published posthumously as "Symphony No. 4". Decades after Mendelssohn's death, the editors of the old Mendelssohn complete edition entered Lobgesang as "No. 2" in the sequence of the symphonies for editorial reasons. However, there is no indication that this represented the composer's intentions. The new Mendelssohn-Werkverzeichnis (MWV), published in 2009 by the Saxon Academy of Sciences and Humanities, no longer lists Lobgesang among the symphonies, but rather among the sacred vocal works.

Structure
Structurally, it consists of three purely orchestral movements followed by 10 movements for chorus and/or soloists and orchestra, and lasts approximately 65–75 minutes in total. The English titles of the movements are:

 * 1) Sinfonia:
 * 2) Maestoso con moto - Allegro
 * 3) Allegretto un poco agitato
 * 4) Adagio religioso
 * 5) All men, all things, all that have life and breath (chorus)
 * 6) Let everything that has breath praise the Lord (soprano and semi-chorus)
 * 7) Sing ye Praise (tenor recitative and aria)
 * 8) All ye that cried unto the Lord (chorus)
 * 9) I waited for the Lord (soprano duet and chorus)
 * 10) The sorrows of Death (tenor Aria)
 * 11) The Night is Departing (chorus)
 * 12) Let all men praise the Lord (chorale, "Nun danket alle Gott")
 * 13) My song shall be always Thy Mercy (soprano and tenor duet)
 * 14) Ye nations, offer to the Lord (chorus)

The now-standard harmonisation of "Nun danket alle Gott" by Martin Rinkart (1636) was devised by Felix Mendelssohn in 1840 when he adopted the hymn, sung in the now-standard key of G major and with its original German lyrics of stanzas 1 and three, as the chorale to Lobgesang.

Instrumentation
The symphony is scored for two sopranos, tenor, chorus, two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, organ and strings.

Bowman Lake State Park

Bowman Lake State Park is a 653 acre state park located in Chenango County, New York. The park is located in the Town of McDonough, north of the community of East McDonough.

History
The land that was to become Bowman Lake State Park was originally part of the region's reforestation lands, which were acquired by the state beginning in 1929. Under the management of the New York Conservation Department, 200 campsites were established around Bowman Lake in 1962, in addition to a day use area, sand beach, and boat launch. The property was transferred to the State Parks and Recreation Commission in 1966 to be operated as a state park.

Park description
Bowman Lake State Park features one of the largest campgrounds in central New York, containing 188 campsites for tents and trailers, as well as several rustic cabins. The park's facilities also include a boat launch, a beach, picnic tables, and a nature center. Trails are available for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling. The Finger Lakes Trail also passes through the park.

The park's namesake lake is 35 acre in size and is annually stocked with trout; two additional ponds of similar size are also found within the park, offering opportunities for fishing and ice fishing. A variety of wildlife, including 103 species of birds, may be viewed at the park.
