Jacque Fresco

Jacque Fresco (March 13, 1916 – May 18, 2017) was an American futurist and self-described social engineer. Self-taught, he worked in a variety of positions related to industrial design.

Fresco wrote and lectured his views on sustainable cities, energy efficiency, natural-resource management, cybernetic technology, automation, and the role of science in society. He directed the Venus Project and advocated global implementation of a socioeconomic system which he referred to as a "resource-based economy".

Early life
Jacque Fresco was born on March 13, 1916, and grew up in a Sephardi Jewish household, at the family's home in Bensonhurst, in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. Fresco's father was an agriculturist born in Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey), while his mother Lena was an emigrant from Jerusalem. He later turned his attention to technocracy. A teenager during the Great Depression, he spent time with friends discussing Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, science, and the future. Fresco attended the Young Communist League before being "physically ejected" for loudly stating that "Karl Marx was wrong!" after a discussion with the league president during a meeting. He left home at the age of 14, hitchhiking and "jumping" trains as one of the so-called "Wild Boys of the Road".

Aircraft industry
Fresco worked at Douglas Aircraft Company in California during the late 1930s. He presented designs including a flying wing and a disk-shaped aircraft. Some of his designs were considered impractical at the time and Fresco's design ideas were not adopted. Fresco resigned from Douglas because of design disagreements.

In 1942, Fresco was drafted into the U.S. Army. He was assigned technical design duties for the Army Air Forces at Wright Field design laboratories in Dayton, Ohio. One design he produced was a "radical variable camber wing" with which he attempted to optimize flight control by allowing the pilot to adjust the thickness and lift of the wings during flight. Fresco did not adjust to military life and was discharged.

Worked for Ernst Udet according to his Talk in Stockholm, 2010.

Trend Home
Fresco was commissioned by Earl "Madman" Muntz, to design low cost housing. Muntz invested $500,000 seed money in the project. Fresco, 32 years old at the time, along with his associates Harry Giaretto and Eli Catran conceived, designed and engineered a project house called the Trend Home. Fresco came closest to traditional career success with this project. Built mostly of aluminum and glass, it was on prominent display at Stage 8 of the Warner Bros. Sunset Lot in Hollywood for three months. The home could be toured for one dollar, with proceeds going to the Cancer Prevention Society. In the summer of 1948, a Federal Housing Administration official met Muntz about the project. The official's proposal, according to Muntz, would add a bureaucratic overhead negating the low production costs. Without federal or further private funding the project did not go into mass production. This experience led Fresco to the conclusion that society would have to change for his inventions to reach their potential.

Scientific Research Laboratories
In the late 1940s, Fresco created and was director of Scientific Research Laboratories in Los Angeles. Here he also gave lectures, and taught technical design, meanwhile researching and working on inventions as a freelance inventor and scientific consultant. During this period, Fresco struggled to get his research funded and faced setbacks and financial difficulties. In 1955, Fresco left California after his laboratory was removed to build the Golden State Freeway.

Midlife
In 1955 Fresco moved to Miami, Florida. He opened a business as a psychological consultant, but had no formal schooling in the subject. Receiving a "barrage of criticism" from the American Psychological Association Fresco stopped that business. In a newspaper article from that time period Fresco claimed to have a degree from Sierra University, Los Angeles, California, which is unverified.

Fresco described white supremacist organizations he joined to test the feasibility of changing people. He tells of joining a local Ku Klux Klan and White Citizens Council in an attempt to change their views about racial discrimination.

In Miami Fresco presented designs of a circular city. Fresco made his living working as an industrial designer for various companies such as Alcoa and the Major Realty Corporation.

In 1961, with Pietro Belluschi and C. Frederick Wise, Fresco collaborated on a project known as the Sandwich House. Consisting of mostly prefabricated components, partitions, and aluminum, the project sold houses for $2,950, or $7,500 with foundation and all internal installations. During this period, Fresco supported his projects by designing prefabricated aluminum devices through Jacque Fresco Enterprises Inc.

From 1955 to 1969 Fresco named his social ideas "Project Americana".

Looking Forward
Looking Forward was published in 1969. Author Ken Keyes Jr., and Jacque Fresco coauthored the book. Looking Forward is a speculative look at the future. The authors picture an ideal 'cybernetic society in which want has been banished and work and personal possessions no longer exist; individual gratification is the total concern'.

Sociocyberneering, Inc.
Fresco formed "Sociocyberneering", a membership organization claiming 250 members, according to an interview with Fresco. He hosted lectures in Miami Beach and Coral Gables. Fresco promoted his organization by lecturing at universities and appearing on radio and television. Although Fresco is presented as a 'Doctor' on the Larry King show there is no evidence of that being the case. Fresco did not complete high school. Fresco's "sociocyberneering" as a membership group was discontinued and land was purchased at another location in rural Venus, Florida. He established his home and research center there.

The Venus Project and later career
Fresco, with his partner Roxanne Meadows, founded The Venus Project in 1985 and supported it in the 1990s through freelance inventing, industrial engineering, conventional architectural modeling, and invention consultations.

In 2008, Peter Joseph featured Fresco in the film Zeitgeist Addendum where his ideas of the future were given as possible alternatives. Peter Joseph, founder of the Zeitgeist Movement began advocating Fresco's approach. In April 2012, the two groups disassociated due to disagreements regarding goals and objectives.

Throughout 2010, Fresco traveled with Meadows worldwide to promote interest in the Venus Project. In June 2012, Maja Borg screened her film, Future My Love, at the Edinburgh International Film Festival featuring the work of Fresco and Roxanne Meadows.

Personal life and family
Fresco was born to immigrants from the Middle East, Isaac and Lena Fresco. His father was born in 1880 and around 1905 immigrated from Istanbul to New York where he worked as a horticulturist. He died in 1963. Fresco's mother was born in 1887 in Jerusalem and also migrated to New York around 1904. She died in 1988. Fresco was brother to two siblings, a sister, Freda, and a brother, David.

Fresco had two marriages when he lived in Los Angeles and carried his second marriage through his first couple of years in Miami. He divorced his second wife in 1957 and remained unmarried thereafter. His second wife, Patricia, gave birth to a son, Richard, in 1953 and a daughter, Bambi, in 1956. Richard was an army private and died in 1976. Bambi died of cancer in 2010.

Fresco died on May 18, 2017, in his sleep at his home in Sebring, Florida, from complications of Parkinson's disease at the age of 101.

Roxanne Meadows assisted Fresco from 1976. As Fresco's domestic partner and administrative colleague, she oversees much of the management of the Venus Project.

Critical appraisals
It's a "lack of professional engagement", William Gazecki who in 2006 completed Future by Design, a feature-length profile of Jacque Fresco says, that hurt Fresco the most. "The real missing link in Jacque's world is having put Jacque to work," Gazecki says, "[It's] exemplified when people say: 'Well, show me some buildings he's built. And I don't mean the domes out in Venus. I mean, let's see an office building, let's see a manufacturing plant, let's see a circular city.' And that's where he should have been 30 years ago. He should have been applying his work, in the real world ... [but] he's not a collaborator, and I think that's why he's never had great public achievements."

When asked by a reporter why he had such difficulty actualizing his many ideas, Fresco responded, "Because I can't get to anybody."

Views on Fresco
Fresco's critical view of modern economics has been compared to Thorstein Veblen's concept of "the predatory phase in human development", according to an article in the journal Society and Business Review. Grønborg has labeled other facets of Fresco's ideology a "tabula rasa approach".

Synergetics theorist Arthur Coulter called Fresco's city designs "organic" and "evolutionary", rather than revolutionary. Coulter posits such cities as the answer to Walter B. Cannon's idea of achieving homeostasis for society.

Hypothetical form of government
Fresco described his form of governance in this way: "The aims of The Venus Project have no parallel in history, not with communism, socialism, fascism or any other political ideology. This is true because cybernation is of recent origin. With this system, the system of financial influence and control will no longer exist."

Ludwig von Mises Institute scholar Robert P. Murphy has raised the economic calculation problem against a resource-based economy. In a resource-based economy, Murphy believes there would be no ability to calculate the availability and desirability of resources because the price mechanism is not utilized. Addressing this aspect, another article in the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics states criticism of "central plannings" computation problem applies to the ideas of Fresco.

Question of utopianism
The Venus Project states on its website that it is not utopian. Writing for the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies, Nikolina Olsen-Rule supports this idea, writing: "For most people, the promise of the project sounds like an unattainable utopia, but if you examine it more closely, there are surprisingly many scientifically founded arguments that open up an entire new world of possibilities."

Morten Grønborg, also of Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies, comments that the Venus Project is "this visionary idea of a future society has many characteristics in common with the utopia. ... the word utopia carries a double meaning, since in Greek it can mean both the good place (eutopia) and the nonexisting place (outopia). A good place is precisely what Fresco has devoted his life to describing and fighting for."

Comments on Fresco
Hans-Ulrich Obrist wrote that "Fresco's future may, of course, seem outmoded and his writings have been subject to critique for their fascistic undertones of order and similitude, but his contributions are etched in the popular psyche and his eco-friendly concepts continue to influence our present generation of progressive architects, city planners and designers."

Fresco's work gained the attention of science fiction enthusiast and critic Forrest J Ackerman. Fresco later attracted Star Trek animator, Doug Drexler, who worked with Fresco to produce several computer renderings of his designs.

Commenting on Fresco, physicist Paul G. Hewitt wrote that Fresco inspired him toward a career in physical science.

Awards
In July 2016, Jacque Fresco received a Novus Summit award for City Design/Community. Novus Summit is supported by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA).

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Deletion sorting/List control/archive

List control
[ Post new topic ]

This is the central point for coordinating work on the various deletion lists maintained by WikiProject Deletion sorting. All Talk pages for those lists redirect here. This page is also transcluded at the bottom of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Deletion sorting.

From India
(posted on the discussion page of WikiProject Deletion sorting/India)

While google search is a rough guide to checking a person's notability, it shouldn't be the only criteria for inclusion. For example, I've noticed that leaders of political parties in NE-India have hardly three or four webpages with their name on it. As we go back in time, it gets even worse. There was not a single page which had the name of Peter de Noronha, one of the most famous citizens of Kanpur, later knighted by the pope. So I suggest use the google search with caution, especially for dated figures. =Nichalp «Talk»=  13:39, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

A guideline reads ''"tagging discussions. This ensures that participants are aware of this list and of the discussion's presence on it. You can tag discussions by adding "
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of India-related deletions.  -- Gurubrahma 09:48, 14 December 2005 (UTC)" on a new line."'' Why is this necessary? --Gurubrahma 09:48, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * It isn't. It's a way you can help, if you want to.  -- Visviva 06:06, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

From Songs and Albums
(posted on the discussion page of WikiProject Deletion sorting/Songs and albums)

Wouldn't it be better to put new entries at the BOTTOM, for consistency with the VFD page? —Wahoofive (talk) 20:12, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Probably so. I started doing it this way (at the top) because I hadn't yet started to archive most pages. Now that most of the larger lists have an archive, it might be a good time to change Template:Deletionlist.  -- Visviva 03:58, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * On second thought, I'm not so sure. Putting the new items at the top ensures that users can quickly see what's been added, even if the page takes a long time to load.  I'm not really sure why VfD is sorted in the way it is.  -- Visviva 01:37, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

 * History. If memory serves, VfD used to be a single sectioned page, like the Help Desk and Reference Desk currently are; new votes were added by adding a new section, which defaults to the bottom of the page. Shimgray 09:43, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Please note that there is currently discussion on the talk page of VfD which may result in VfD reversing to put new items at the top - the same as on TFD, SFD, CFD, RFA, RFAr, FAC and just about every similar page on WP. Grutness...  wha?  00:54, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Issues
OK, I've been working with/on the structure at /Flat for a while. For the most part I think the categories work fairly well for their purpose (more on that later). There are some changes that I'm about ready to make, but I want to post here just in case people have some feedback:
 * Science and medicine --> /Science and /Medicine.  Not much overlap, and it would reduce the signal-to-noise ratio for interested users.
 * Americas--> /Latin America (rm Canada, US and transclude). Good idea?  I'm not sure.

I'm also thinking of shortening most of the /A&B lists to /A, for ease of typing.

Some generally problematic lists:
 * social science -- what goes here, or rather what doesn't?
 * technology -- likewise.
 * recreation -- does this category really serve any purpose?

-- Visviva 16:48, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Business
Can the WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Business be renamed to WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Business and Economics? pamri 17:26, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

"Closed" subpages
Should these be split by month or anything? Some of them are incredibly long. Alphax τεχ 05:20, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Still active?
Are these categories all still active? I notice WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Music doesn't have a new entry since 28 August. pfctdayelise 00:12, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Furry lifestyler, Japanese?
I read this article (whose AfD is transcluded here) with mounting belief. Yes, it's all so silly, it has to be true; plus there's the solemn attention to a teapot tempest: ''The phrases "furry lifestyle" and "furry lifestyler" first appeared in July 1996 on the newsgroup alt.fan.furry during an ongoing dispute within that community. One element within furry fandom believed that any peripheral interests not directly relating to furry art did not belong under the furry umbrella, whereas others believed that the definition of what constituted furry was up to the individual.'' (Love that "furry umbrella"!)

But what's Japanese about it? Is it that any mention of reincarnation makes something Japanese? Or that any adult pursuit that's mind-numbingly infantile is somehow Japanese? -- Hoary 09:32, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Business, Businesses, and Businesspeople
I'm planning to merge these three lists (of which Businesses is the only one currently maintained). This is partly because it will make automated sorting easier, and partly because I don't think there's anyone who has an interest in *businesses* or *businesspeople* who doesn't also have an interest in *business* generally. -- Visviva 10:42, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Meaning of transcluded
Could we have a plain-English word or explanation for transcluded, please? I would attempt one myself but might botch it up. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis 16:52, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, nobody responded, so here goes: Brought from one part of Wikipedia into another part by reference. The question is, how is this done? GeorgeLouis 13:27, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry I missed this one. You transclude pages in the same way that you transclude templates.  For instance, I have a little subpage at User:Visviva/Whos... to transclude that, I would type
 * , which creates:
 * Similarly, you can transclude Articles for deletion/Foo onto a given page by typing where you want it to appear.  Double curly brackets are an amazing thing.  Cheers, -- Visviva 14:28, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Tip
Thanks to everyone who is updating this page. It is great help. In case you didn't know, I wanted to suggest that User:Dragons flight/AFD summary/Contested can be of use in updating. - Ganeshk  ( talk ) 06:28, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Australian PROD articles
Is there any interest/place/provision to note PRODed articles. eg Taking Sides (Australian band). Paul foord 13:55, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Some lists have been formatted to accommodate this... before suddenly running out of time for this project, I was working on a standardized model at WikiProject Deletion sorting/Template. Feel free to try it out, and see whether the sidebar format works for you or not.  Cheers, -- Visviva 14:32, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Deletion sorting/ India or WikiProject Deletion sorting/Asia
I think we can rename this as WikiProject Deletion sorting/SAARC or WikiProject Deletion sorting/Asia as we have Pakistan as well as Srilankan articles also here  Doctor Bruno  09:20, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually, pages exist for Pakistan and Sri Lanka: WikiProject Deletion sorting/Pakistan and WikiProject Deletion sorting/Sri Lanka . I think some sorters list the articles on India page, because there are very few active Sri Lankan or Pakistani users. utcursch | talk 13:19, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Pop Culture
This is just an observation--I am still going through this stuff and some of it is mind-numbingly off the wall--but to some extent this entire section comprises a real treasure--at least it will be in a generation or two. It chronicles many aspects of pop cutlure. Albeit not very well in some cases but if we had this sort of collection of articles on say, 13th century England, it would be highly valued. I am just saying, before completely deleting all of any article, ask yourself what would it signify to a reader who will not be born for another 20 years. So, careful with the broad strokes. Malangthon 02:26, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

As an example of the underlying rationale for my approach, let me point out a comment made recently by Alan Liu, an English professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara, who "has developed a policy for appropriate use of Wikipedia as a source," in this case, in papers written by university students:

"(A) Wikipedia citation can be an appropriate convenience when the point being supported is minor, noncontroversial or also supported by other evidence.

"In addition, Wikipedia is an appropriate source for some extremely recent topics (especially in popular culture or technology) for which it provides the sole or best available synthetic, analytical or historical discussion."

Google hits must not be taken as a yardstick in Asian related AfD's
Google hits must not be taken as a sole yardstick in Asian related AfD's. Newspapers of Vernacular Languages may have millions of readership. For example, in India every state has its own language. There are more than 20 widely speaking native languages in India. But the news reports from the newspapers of such languages are not available in google search.Take the case of Malayala Manorama Newspaper. Currently this Malayalam language newspaper has a readership of over 9 million, with a circulation base of over 1.4 million copies according to Audit Beureu of Circulations. Manorama is one of the India's largest selling and most widely read news paper. There are more than 50 such newspapers in India. News reports from such dailies are not available in google eventhough it have millions of readership. But news reports from English dailies with 1000 or 2000 copies are available in google search. It is really misleading...Isn't it...? In this context of notability tests based on google hits may be a worthless, foolish effort. In such circumstances we must consider the words of native wikipedians with more importance. May I know ur valuable opinion ……?  Nileena joseph (Talk 05:51, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Page is broken
Page seems to be broken. See the end of "List of Australian Politicians". Can anyone fix??? AndyJones 09:03, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Concerned about title of WikiProject Deletion sorting/Israel or Palestine
This could be construed as taking the POV that "Palestine" is a country or state. I would therefore suggest instead changing it to "Israeli or Palestinian" which thus takes no POV on the matter. JoshuaZ 06:47, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I would say that two lists are required WikiProject Deletion sorting/Israel and WikiProject Deletion sorting/Palestine. Thanks, IZAK 13:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. Please use separate lists depending on the topic. This will avoid controversy. IZAK 13:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Deletion sorting/Arts
This page has fallen into disuse, as it has been made redundant by useful sub-division into "Visual arts-related deletions", "Music-related deletions" and "Film and TV-related deletions". I propose it's deleted or turned into a disambig page (if they exist for this project). Tyrenius 02:44, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Is it possible to keep track of Images to be deleted?
Hello, I am wondering whether or not the very useful lists provided can be extended to include sorting for images that are up for deletion, either through Images and media for deletion, and its associated category Category:Images and media for deletion or through Copyright problems? Regards --Free smyrnan 05:02, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

The following is for deletion sorting/Turkey
 * I think we can include them. Do we have to manually add these AFD's or IFD's, or is there a way, say all AFD's for articles in WProject Turkey to be automatically listed on Turkey's deletion sorting list? Also, it might be good to archive the closed AFD's. denizTC 16:37, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Lists of China-related topics deletion discussion
Ni hao, in a group deletion attempt, the two lists of China-related topics are up for deletion; the discussion is at Articles for deletion/List of Angola-related topics; also the list of Cantonese-related topics as well as some lists for countries in Southeast Asia. Would it be possible to put the appropriate WP China tag on these lists?, that seems to be the solution that was reached during discussion for the African country topic lists that the discussion centered around. Xie xie, cai jian. --McTrixie/Mr Accountable 19:33, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Inactive Africa-related lists
WikiProject Deletion sorting/Africa is comprised mostly of inactive subpages. While Egypt, South Africa, and Nigeria have a reasonable amount of activity, the rest seem inactive. What is the correct method to propose that the inactive ones be deleted and the occasional nominations regarding those countries be included in the general list at the top? Nominate at mfd, or just discuss here and leave a note at the Africa project's talk page?

Specifically, Algeria, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Morocco Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia have edits only once every few months or less. Many of us Africa editors, while focusing on a subsection of the continent, are nevertheless likely to be interested in all of the continent's deletion nominations, which is why deleting the subpages and listing the occasional nomination at the top is probably better.

Schleiden

Schleiden is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It lies in the Eifel hills, in the district of Euskirchen, and has 12,998 inhabitants as of 30 June 2017. Schleiden is connected by a tourist railway to Kall, on the Eifel Railway between Cologne and Trier. The town consists of 18 settlements, the largest of which are Gemünd and Schleiden proper.

Sub-divisions
The borough of Schleiden is divided into 18 settlements (population figures of those at their main residence as at September 2020):

Neighbouring municipalities

 * North: Heimbach (Eifel) (County of Düren)
 * East: Mechernich, Kall (both in the county of Euskirchen)
 * South: Hellenthal (County of Euskirchen)
 * West: Monschau, Simmerath (both in the Borough of Aachen)

History
In the Middle Ages and Early Modern times, Schleiden was the centre of a lordship, later the County of Schleiden, which itself was part of the Duchy of Luxembourg, from 1441/43 as part of the Burgundian Netherlands (first under the Burgundians, then the Habsburgs). After the division of the Netherlands, the Duchy of Luxembourg with Schleiden remained as part of the Spanish line of the Habsburgs. After the War of Spanish Succession, the Duchy of Luxembourg, along with Schleiden, went to the Austrian line of the House of Habsburg. When revolutionary France conquered the Austrian Netherlands in 1794/95, the Duchy of Luxembourg was quickly divided into the three French departments: Forêts, Sambre-et-Meuse and Ourthe. Schleiden was in Ourthe (capital: Liege). At the Vienna Congress of 1815, the formerly Luxembourgian areas east of the Our, Sauer and Moselle rivers were given to the Kingdom of Prussia. Thus, Schleiden became "Prussian" and, in 1871, part of the German Empire after having belonged to the Duchy of Luxembourg for centuries.

The small town of Schleiden has produced two important Christian humanists: Johannes Sleidanus and Johannes Sturm, also known as Ioannes Sturmius.

In 1944 the Battle of Wahlerscheid took place nearby.

Mayors

 * 1972−1975: Max Fesenmeyer (independent)
 * 1975−1984: Herbert Hermesdorf (1914-1999) (CDU)
 * 1984−1995: Alois Sommer (CDU)
 * 1995−1997: Dieter Wolter (CDU)
 * 1997−2004: Christoph Lorbach (CDU)
 * 2004−2012: Ralf Hergarten (independent)
 * 2012–2018: Udo Meister (FDP)
 * 2018– : Ingo Pfennings (CDU)

Education
There are the following schools in the city:
 * Municipal Johannes-Sturmius-High School
 * Clara-Fey-High School, Schleiden (carrier is the diocese of Aachen)
 * Municipal Secondary School
 * Primary school
 * Elementary school
 * Elementary school Gemünd
 * Elementary school Dreiborn
 * Astrid Lindgren School, Schleiden

Sights

 * Castle and church (1230 castle chapel, 1516–1525 late Gothic hall church, König organ from 1770)
 * From 1900 to 1905 the Urft Dam was built as the largest dam in Europe at the time. Today it is part of the Eifel National Park.
 * Ordensburg Vogelsang on the former Vogelsang Training Area
 * "Tempelchen" war memorial for the victims of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 and the First World War
 * Jewish Cemetery
 * Forest Experience Centre

Olef Valley Railway
The Olef Valley Railway (from Kall to Hellenthal) stopped at Schleiden station; regular passenger services were discontinued by Deutsche Bundesbahn in 1981. Because of the Eifel National Park, which was newly established in 2004, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia is supporting tourism with a two-year programme of passenger services in the tourist season on Sundays and public holidays. These services terminated in 2004 in the district of Gemünd, and in 2005 they continued to Schleiden. The regional railway was managed by the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Sieg; Rurtalbahn was the operator. Regular traffic ended on 16 October 2005. Since 2006 services have been operated privately as a museum railway in the summer season, with the 2008 season being operated by the Rhein-Sieg-Eisenbahn. From 2010, the trains will run again to Hellenthal station, using an historic MAN railbus. Due to massive damage caused by the 2021 European floods, museum railway services were suspended.

Until 1997 there was regular freight traffic via Schleiden to Hellenthal, after that only military traffic to Schleiden-Höddelbusch (tank loading ramp). The last troop loading took place there in winter 2002 with diesel and steam locomotives from a private railway. Belgium handed back the Vogelsang Training Area on 1 January 2006. The training area on the Dreiborn Plateau was turned over to non-military use and has a documentation centre and hiking area.

WGUC

WGUC (90.9 FM) is a public radio station in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is owned by Cincinnati Public Radio and has a classical music format. WGUC broadcasts using HD Radio technology and plays jazz on WGUC-HD2 and adult album alternative on WGUC-HD3. WGUC has radio studios in the same building as PBS Network affiliate WCET Channel 48, the Crosley Telecommunications Center on Central Parkway in Cincinnati. WGUC has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 18,500 watts. Its transmitter is on Symmes Street, near Interstate 71, in Cincinnati.

History
In the late 1950s, a group of Cincinnati-area residents launched a campaign for a radio station devoted to cultural and public affairs programming, particularly classical music. A committee of the Queen City Association sought to bring either a repeater of WOSU-AM-FM in Columbus or a standalone fine-arts station to Cincinnati.

On September 21, 1960, WGUC first signed on the air. The station was originally licensed to the University of Cincinnati, at the time owned by the City of Cincinnati. WGUC broadcast mostly classical music and was a training ground for students interested in a career in broadcasting. When National Public Radio was first formed in the early 1970s, WGUC began airing All Things Considered. However, the creation of additional NPR programming in the 1980s created the need for an additional NPR outlet in Cincinnati, at which time WVXU (then licensed to Xavier University) became a member of NPR.

While the two stations both carried some NPR programs, the two NPR daily flagship newsmagazines aired separately. WVXU carried Morning Edition, while WGUC carried All Things Considered. With both stations now under the same licensee, program duplication, sometimes a problem in markets with more than one public radio station, were eliminated. This means that WGUC broadcasts almost exclusively classical music, while WVXU carries news and information programming, including both Morning Edition and All Things Considered.

WGUC was one of the first stations in the nation to meet the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's qualification standards; a charter member of NPR; and a founder of another network, American Public Radio (now Public Radio International). WGUC also had one of the first NPR satellite uplinks, the first digital west-to-east transatlantic broadcast, and is the only U.S. public radio station with an ongoing program to commission new music.

In 1994, UC outsourced WGUC's operations to Cincinnati Classical Public Radio, a community-based nonprofit organization. UC retained the station's license until 2002, when it sold the license to Cincinnati Public Radio. When Cincinnati Public Radio purchased Xavier University's "X-Star Network" (a group of stations headed by WVXU-FM) in 2005, WGUC moved its National Public Radio news and talk programming, including All Things Considered, which had aired on WGUC since the 1970s, to WVXU. The only NPR-produced show still airing on WGUC is the youth classical performance program From the Top, while the news and information programming is heard on WVXU around the clock, except for a couple hours of specialty music programming late nights.

In 2003, WGUC became the first public radio station in Ohio to broadcast a digital HD Radio signal. In June 2005, WGUC became one of the first stations in the nation to receive FCC authorization to experiment with FM multicasting. In 2006, the station added a full time digital subchannel of jazz music (formerly heard on WVXU), along classical music on its primary digital channel. It has since added adult album alternative music to an HD-3 subchannel.

Programming
WGUC broadcasts local musical events, including the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra concerts, the Cincinnati May Festival, and the Cincinnati Opera season. The station produces and distributes The 90 Second Naturalist and Classics for Kids nationally. Holiday programs, such as Tunes From the Crypt (Halloween), A Feast For the Ears (Thanksgiving), and Love Greetings (Valentine's Day) have also had national carriage. One weekday feature, Cincinnati Spotlight, which airs weekdays during the 9:00 a.m. hour, highlights events in the listening area, local artists and musicians, and national and international performers who visit greater Cincinnati.

Classics for Kids
Classics for Kids debuted December 5, 1998 and is designed to help adults introduce children to classical music. The program, heard Saturday mornings and Sunday evenings, features a composer and his/her music, along with games, quizzes and curriculum materials for primary grade school students and teachers. The show is heard on several other classical-formatted public radio stations in the U.S.

Radio Reading Service
WGUC's subcarrier signal has served the local blind and visually impaired community since 1985. Through an agreement with the Cincinnati Association for the Blind, WGUC carries the audio broadcasts for the Radio Reading Service (RRS) on its alternate band. RRS serves more than 8,000 listeners, according to the station.

Talk:Fumaric acid

Category
Why is this article in Category:Chemical element symbol templates? There is something weird with it, but I can't find it. --Kenyon 09:12, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
 * It's because you added subst to the templates that link to the chemical symbols, so that it read subst:carbon instead of just carbon: the entire template was thus inserted into the article, including the template category. The moral is "don't use subst for the chemical element symbol templates"! Physchim62 (talk) 09:44, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Now they could be subst'd after that noinclude block is added to each one, right? Because on Subst the chemical templates are listed under "Templates that should be subst'd". --Kenyon 18:23, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Diagram
The image shown is actually a structural diagram of Maleic Acid, not fumaric. This is so because fumaric acid is a trans isomer of butenedioic acid, not a cis isomer (the OH and O groups should be on opposite sides of the final carbons).
 * The image is correct. Fumaric acid is the trans isomer, which is what is shown in the image.  Maleic acid is the cis isomer, which is what is shown in the image on that page.  --Ed (Edgar181) 18:14, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

cis or trans?
In the diagram how is it the trans isomer if the OH groups are both on the bottom, and the O groups are both on the top of the double bond? Shouldn't they be on opposite sides? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.21.7.136 (talk • contribs)
 * The picture is correct, there is rotation around the single C-C-bonds, and the trans describes the conformation of the double bond. But apparently the picture is a bit misleading.  Maybe someone has to change the picture.  But I hope this helps.  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 18:25, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Image:Fumaric acid.svg looks perfect to me. I don't see what the confusion is about. —Keenan Pepper 19:52, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I think the confusion might be cleared up if you looked at this chemical's "real" name—fumaric acid is "scientifically" known as trans-1,2-ethylenedicarboxylic acid. The "trans" describes the carboxylic acid functional group's (COOH) position relative to the double bond in the "base" ethylene molecule. You can see that the COOH groups on the left and right side of the molecule are on opposite sides of the double bond between C1 and C2 of the ethylene.

Compare this diagram with cis-1,2-ethylenedicarboxylic acid (maleic acid) and you will see that the carboxylic acid functional groups are on the "same side" of the double bond between C1 and C2 in the ethylene portion of the molecule.

Sorry if you don't get this.

Should clarify fumarate
fumarate redirects here and is mentioned in the Biology section, but it is not clear what it is. ... urea cycle shows it as the C4H2O4-- ion. ... so I've added that to the intro. - Rod57 (talk) 22:51, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Could separate the acid from the esters
The esters are so different, eg more toxic, that the Uses section could perhaps seperate Uses of the acid from Uses of the esters ? Or maybe one day we should split out fumaric acid esters ? - Rod57 (talk) 23:16, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Searching "fumerate" should redirect here
I was just looking for this article in reference to a fumerate salt. So, fumerate was what I searched for. But, what came up was an article on schedule h of the Indian drug and cosmetics act of 1945. I think this page is a tad more relevant. Heh. VoidHalo (talk) 15:57, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Methanandamide

Methanandamide (AM-356) is a synthetically created stable chiral analog of anandamide. Its effects have been observed to act on the cannabinoid receptors (specifically on CB1 receptors, which are part of the central nervous system) found in different organisms such as mammals, fish, and certain invertebrates (e.g. Hydra).

Gary Gibbons

Gary William Gibbons (born 1 July 1946) is a British theoretical physicist.

Education
Gibbons was born in Coulsdon, Surrey. He was educated at Purley County Grammar School and the University of Cambridge, where in 1969 he became a research student under the supervision of Dennis Sciama. When Sciama moved to the University of Oxford, he became a student of Stephen Hawking, obtaining his PhD from Cambridge in 1973.

Career and research
Apart from a stay at the Max Planck Institute in Munich in the 1970s he has remained in Cambridge throughout his career, becoming a full professor in 1997, a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1999, and a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge in 2002.

Having worked on classical general relativity for his PhD thesis, Gibbons focused on the quantum theory of black holes afterwards. Together with Malcolm Perry, he used thermal Green's functions to prove the universality of thermodynamic properties of horizons, including cosmological event horizons. He developed the Euclidean approach to quantum gravity with Stephen Hawking, which allows a derivation of the thermodynamics of black holes from a functional integral approach. As the Euclidean action for gravity is not positive definite, the integral only converges when a particular contour is used for conformal factors.

His work in more recent years includes contributions to research on supergravity, p-branes and M-theory, mainly motivated by string theory. Gibbons remains interested in geometrical problems of all sorts which have applications to physics.

Awards and honours
Gibbons was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1999. His nomination reads

John Grant Jr.

John Christopher Grant Jr. (born November 7, 1974) is an American professional lacrosse coach and retired professional lacrosse player who has played in Major League Lacrosse, the National Lacrosse League, and the Ontario Lacrosse Association. He currently serves as an assistant coach for Redwoods Lacrosse Club of the Premier Lacrosse League.

He is widely regarded as one the greatest lacrosse players of all time.

Personal
Grant is the son of John Grant Sr., a former star in the Ontario Lacrosse Association and the original Philadelphia Wings. Grant Jr., known as Junior, has a physical education degree from the University of Delaware. He is married to Raygen Rogers and has one daughter, Gabrayel Grant, born in 2010.

OLA career
Grant began his Ontario Lacrosse Association career with the Peterborough Lakers in the OLA Junior A Lacrosse League. He was named the OLA Junior A Lacrosse League Most Valuable Player in 1994, and was the league's top scorer in 1993, 1994, and 1995. In 1995, Grant moved up to the Major Series Lacrosse (MSL) with the Peterborough Lakers, where he won the Top Rookie of the Year award. In 2000, Grant won the MSL Most Valuable Player award. In 2002 and 2003, Grant moved west, playing in the Western Lacrosse Association with the Coquitlam Adanacs, earning All-Star recognition.

Grant came back to the Peterborough Lakers in 2004 and led the team to a Mann Cup victory, earning the Mike Kelley Memorial Trophy as the competition's Most Valuable Player. In 2006 and 2007, Grant again won the Mann Cup as a member of the Lakers, earning his second Mann Cup MVP in 2007.

Grant suited up for the Peterborough Lakers of Major Series Lacrosse on July 9, 2009, a surprisingly early comeback from his surgery. In 2010, Grant and the Peterborough Lakers won the Mann Cup once again, beating out the New Westminster Salmonbellies.

College career
Grant was drafted by the Buffalo Bandits in 1995, but he didn't sign, instead opting to attend junior college at SUNY Morrisville playing for future Yale coach Andy Shay. Grant transferred to the University of Delaware and played the 1998 and 1999 seasons, again teaming up with Shay who had moved there as an assistant, with the Fightin' Blue Hens compiling a 23 and 8 during that time. Grant made the USILA All-American team his junior season, but really attracted national attention his senior year.

In 1999, Grant had 56 goals and 54 assists for 110 points, leading the nation in assists and points and setting school records for both categories. He was named the USILA National Collegiate Player of the Year and was awarded the Jack Turnbull Award as National Attackman of the Year. Grant was Delaware's first USILA First Team All-American. John led the school to its first ever NCAA quarterfinal appearance as well as its first 14-win season, with victories over perennial lacrosse powers North Carolina, Navy and Towson, in addition to 4 other top 20 teams.

Grant's 110-point 1999 season currently ranks tenth on the NCAA Individual Single-Season Leaders list and Grant is 13th in career points per game. He was the last Division I player to average more than 6 points-per-game for an entire season (1999), until Lyle Thompson did this in 2013.

In 2010, Grant was inducted into the NJCAA Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

NLL career
Grant was originally drafted by the Buffalo Bandits in the third round of the 1995 MILL Entry Draft. He was never signed by the Bandits, opting instead to attend college, re-entered the draft four years later when he was drafted first overall by the Rochester Knighthawks in the 1999 NLL Entry Draft, and was named NLL Rookie of the Year for the 2000 season. He holds several franchise records including most goals (347) and most points (719). Grant is also tied for fifth all-time in goals, third in assists per game and 12th in points in NLL history. He has some of the team's single-season records too, including: Most goals (54), most assists (60), and most points (111). Grant is also the team's all-time leader in playoff goals (47) and points (82).

In 2007 Grant set a National Lacrosse League record with 15 points in a single game (9 goals, 6 assists) in a win over the New York Titans, since broken by Mark Steenhuis. He was recognized with Overall Player of the Week Honors for his record-breaking achievement. After the regular season, Grant was named the 2007 NLL MVP, and then on May 12, 2007, Grant capped off his extraordinary season by being named Champion's Cup game MVP, as the Knighthawks defeated the Arizona Sting 13–11 to win their second championship. On May 25, 2007, Rochester Mayor Robert Duffy awarded Grant the Key to the City in recognition of the Knighthawks' championship.

Grant missed the entire 2009 season after having emergency surgery to remove an infection in his knee. In 2010, Grant returned to form playing in 15 of his team's 16 games, though Rochester missed the playoffs.

On October 27, 2010, Grant (plus defender Mac Allen) was traded to the Colorado Mammoth in exchange for 2010 NLL Goaltender of the Year Matt Vinc, plus transition players Matt Zash and Brad Self. Draft picks were also exchanged in the trade, which the Knighthawks said they executed to alleviate the effects of an aging roster, despite being reluctant to deal Grant after such a long and successful tenure in Rochester.

After a strong debut season with the Mammoth in which he scored 83 points (matching his 2010 total), Grant had one of the best years of his career in 2012. He scored his 1000th career point in January and his 500th career goal in March, set a new NLL record with 116 points in a season, and was named MVP for the second time in his career.

MLL career
He played for the Rochester Rattlers in their inaugural season in 2001, and finished second in the league with 59 points (41 goals, 3 two-pointers, 15 assists) in 14 games. He was also named an MLL All-Star and earned league Offensive Player of the Year honors. After not playing in the league from 2002 through 2004, he returned to the Rattlers for the 2005 season. In 2007, Grant broke the league's single-season points record with 71 points, was named Offensive Player of the Year for the second time, and was awarded the Major League Lacrosse MVP Award. In 2008, Grant led the league in scoring with 64 points (47 goals, 4 two-pointers, 13 assists) and was named the 2008 Bud Light Major League Lacrosse Most Valuable Player for the second year in a row. Grant and the Rattlers went on to win the MLL Championship in 2008, with a 16 to 6 defeat of Denver. This was the first MLL title for the Rattlers.

He, along with the rest of the Rattlers franchise and roster, transferred to the Toronto (later Hamilton) Nationals when the franchise was bought by a new ownership group in 2009.

On June 14, 2011, it was announced that Grant Jr was traded to the Long Island Lizards for a second-round draft pick in the 2012 Collegiate draft, which would become a 4th-round pick if Grant Jr does not report. Nationals general manager Jody Gage—the same GM who traded Grant away from the Knighthawks—cited a desire to go with a younger roster as a factor in the trade decision.

In February 2012, Grant Jr was traded to the Chesapeake Bayhawks.

Grant Jr. was traded to the Denver Outlaws, along with defenseman Michael Simon, in exchange for attackman Brendan Mundorf and the 16th pick in the 2014 collegiate draft in September 2013. He spent two-and-a-half seasons with the Outlaws before being traded to his sixth team, the Ohio Machine, in June 2016 following a 2–6 start to the Outlaws' season. In the Machine's final game of the regular season, Grant Jr. scored ten goals in a huge victory over the New York Lizards, clinching a playoff berth for the Machine and becoming the first MLL player to score 10 goals in a game. Grant Jr. helped the Machine get to their first championship game that summer, but faced his former team in the Denver Outlaws, who had rattled off seven straight victories. The Machine surrendered a huge lead and Grant Jr. lost his first championship game, 19–18 in a weather-delayed game. Grant Jr., at 42, announced his retirement from the league on April 19, 2017.

Return from retirement
John Grant Jr. announced on May 27, 2019, that he would return to the playing field for the Denver Outlaws. He had already spent the last two years as an assistant coach for the Outlaws, but would step into a player-coach role for the 2019 summer. At 44, Grant Jr. would become by far the oldest active player in Major League Lacrosse. He entered the season only needing five points to surpass Paul Rabil as the all-time leading scorer in MLL history. He hit this mark on June 9 in an 18–16 win over the Atlanta Blaze

On July 9, the league announced the 44-year-old John Grant Jr. had been selected to the MLL All Star Game. As of July 9, Grant Jr. was 11th in the league in points (18) with 10 goals and eight assists.

Professional Lacrosse Hall of Fame
On June 18, 2022, Grant was inducted into the Professional Lacrosse Hall of Fame as one of the eleven members of the inaugural class of inductees.

Coaching career
Grant has served as player-coach for the Denver Outlaws of Major League Lacrosse. He was named men's lacrosse offensive coordinator at Johns Hopkins in 2020 and resigned in 2022 to "pursue other opportunities in the lacrosse world. He coached at the Maryland school, Gerstell Academy, for one year, in between Hopkins and the Redwoods Lacrosse Club. He was named an assistant coach for Redwoods Lacrosse Club on December 29, 2022.

International lacrosse career
In 2006, Grant and Gary Gait led the Canadian national lacrosse team to an historic victory in the 2006 World Lacrosse Championship over the United States, 15–10.
