FC-HBA API

In computing, the FC-HBA API (also called the SNIA Common HBA API) is an Application Programming Interface for Host Bus Adapters connecting computers to hard disks via a Fibre Channel network. It was developed by the Storage Networking Industry Association and published by the T11.5 committee of INCITS An "early implementers version" was published in 2000, and the current version was completed in 2002.

According to the FAQ, "the HBA API has been overwhelmingly adopted by Storage Area Network vendors to help manage, monitor, and deploy storage area networks in an interoperable way." Vendors supply their own library (written in C) as plugins for a common HBA library.

Operating system support
Windows Server 2003, AIX 5,HPUX and Solaris include support for FC-HBA API and it is being added to Linux.

Defining Ethernet Physical Interfaces
''Starting R5, IP bearers can be used over Ethernet instead. Physically, these interfaces can be carried over SDH over optical fiber, E1 (sometimes referred to as PDH) - over a copper wire or microwave radio.''

Transmission over Ethernet means that the physical medium of transmission is not explicitly defined. I don't believe that "Physically, these interfaces can be carried over SDH over optical fiber, E1 (sometimes referred to as PDH) - over a copper wire or microwave radio." should be included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.154.72.80 (talk) 19:50, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Lewis and Clark National Historical Park

Park name
It may seem odd to call the protected area Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks rather than Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, but this seems to be how the managers are presenting it to the public. I know technically the legislation called it the latter. However, the "National and State" usage is consistent with a prior example: "Redwood National Park" within Redwood National and State Parks. — Eoghanacht  talk 13:11, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

NRHP
Documents show that Fort Clatsop National Memorial, the predecessor or the park, was listed on October 15, 1966. See the Oregon National Register List and Book 2 of the National Register of Historic Places, page 7569. It appears that the area was re-registered, on October 13, 1988, as Fort Clatsop and Salt Works. See this Registration Form. It seems the re-registered is the source of the reference number, 66000640. – droll  [chat]  22:05, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Sources to improve article
I found this much more modern set of reports about the park from the NPS while repairing a citation for missing a url. I am leaving this here in the hopes that a future editor finds it as useful as it looks to be.

Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks → Lewis and Clark National Historical Park – This page was boldly moved to its present name in 2005 to yield a more inclusive title. However, this page should have the official National Park Service name, as this is the primary topic of the article, consistent with WP:COMMONNAME. The state parks are only loosely affiliated with the NPS site and charge separate admission fees. The state parks are also not "state historical parks" as the current name suggests. The Washington state parks each have their own articles (Cape Disappointment State Park and Fort Columbia State Park. For the Oregon state parks, Fort Stevens State Park redirects to Fort Stevens (Oregon), while Ecola State Park does redirect to this page, but really merits its own article given its notability as a filming location. Thus, this page should be about the NPS entity with brief descriptions of and links to these other sites. A Google search under the current name returns the proposed name in Google Maps and the NPS official site as the top hit. Mdewman6 (talk) 20:06, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Huh, most of Cape Disappointment State Park is actually federally owned but operated by WA State Parks – Not quite accurate to say this one's only loosely affiliated since the law explicitly mentions it, but Fort Columbia, Fort Stevens, and Ecola are less clear.

Aimé Anthuenis

Aimé Anthuenis (born 21 December 1943) is a Belgian former professional football player and manager. He managed the Belgium national football team between 2002 and 2005.

After a career as a defender, Anthuenis moved into coaching, first as the head coach of Lokeren's youth sector, then rising to the position of head coach of the club's first team. In 1994 he reached the semifinals of the Belgian Cup with Germinal Ekeren, while finishing the national championship in 10th place. The next season he moved to Waregem in the Belgian Second Division. Under his lead, Waregem was crowned league champion the same season.

In 1996, Anthuenis signed with Second Division club Racing Genk. He brought the club to the First Division that year, finishing second in the championship. The following season, Anthuenis finished second in the Belgian top tier, and won Genk's first Belgian Cup. The next year, he led the Limburg-based club to their first national championship, winning the 1998–99 Belgian First Division.

Anthuenis left Genk in 1999 to join Anderlecht. He immediately won Anderlecht's 25th title, also qualifying for the UEFA Champions League qualifying round. In August 2000, Anderlecht qualified for the 2000–01 UEFA Champions League by knocking out Porto in the last qualifying round. In the group stage, they won their group, which included also Manchester United, PSV Eindhoven and Dynamo Kyiv. Eventually, Anderlecht was eliminated in the second group stage, finishing third in their group. He finished the season by celebrating the club's 26th title.

Anthuenis won the Belgian Manager of the Year award for a record three times.

Club career
Aimé Anthuenis was born and raised in Lokeren. He started his football career as a youth player of Racing Lokeren, which was renamed K.S.C. Lokeren after the merger with Standaard Lokeren. Anthuenis was a permanent fixture with the Lokeren club. He started as a striker, but later in his career he mainly played as a defender. The club was crowned division champion twice in a row and was quickly promoted from fourth to second division. In 1974 Lokeren achieved promotion to the First Division for the first time. Anthuenis' sporting career was hampered in that period by a serious knee injury. After that season he exchanged the club for fourth division Eeklo. With the club from the Meetjesland he became vice champion twice. After four seasons, he moved to Ertvelde, where he was a player-trainer for two seasons. Anthuenis combined his duties as a football coach with a job at the Ghent University.

Lokeren
After ending his career as a player, Anthuenis returned to Lokeren, where he started his career as a coach. He started working there as a youth trainer and through his work was able to advance to the first team. In the 1984–85 season, Lokeren sacked coach Dimitri Davidović. The then 41-year-old Anthuenis quit his job at the Ghent University and took over as manager at Lokeren. He started with two convincing wins. A season later, Lokeren did not perform as well. They dropped back to fourteenth place under the leadership of Anthuenis, with only four points more than relegated Waterschei. Despite the disappointing season, Anthuenis stayed as head coach. In the summer of 1986 experienced players Raymond Mommens and Maurits De Schrijver left the club, and young players such as Bruno Versavel and Stephen Keshi were given a shot in the first team. The 22-year-old attacker Dimitri M'Buyu scored 17 goals, being just short of top scorer. In May 1987, Lokeren defeated eventual vice-champion Club Brugge 1–4, with goals from Versavel and M'Buyu, among others. The latter also scored twice against Standard Liège, a game that the Lokeren won 1–2. Lokeren eventually finished the season in fourth place, allowing the club to re-join the UEFA Cup for the first time since 1982.

Charleroi
After Lokeren, Anthuenis moved to Sporting Charleroi, where he was reunited with Raymond Mommens. Under the leadership of Anthuenis, the "Zebras" once again finished safely in the middle bracket in the 1987–88 season.

Return to Lokeren
Anthuenis returned to Lokeren in 1988. The club had had a bad year and hoped to rejoin the top ten with his return. However, Lokeren, which had lost many of its key players, fell out of the top ten two years in a row. The club was no longer eligible for European football and had several colorless seasons. At the end of January 1993, the 49-year-old trainer was fired and succeeded by Etienne D'Hondt. Eventually, Lokeren ended the season last but one and was relegated.

Germinal Ekeren
Anthuenis was then hired by Germinal Ekeren, where he succeeded Urbain Haesaert. Anthuenis ended up in the middle bracket with Germinal, finishing tenth. Germinal also reached the semi-finals of the 1994 Belgian Cup, in which it was eliminated by Club Brugge.

Waregem
After a year at the Antwerp-based club, Anthuenis moved to Waregem, which had been relegated to the second division in 1994. Led by Anthuenis, Waregem became champion of the second division in 1995. In the following season, Waregem had a difficult start and Anthuenis was sacked early in September. He was succeeded by André Van Maldeghem. The club eventually finished last in the championship and was relegated to the Second Division.

Genk
A month after his resignation from Waregem, Anthuenis signed with Racing Genk. In his first season at the club, Anthuenis finished second in the Second Division with Genk. In the subsequent final round, Genk was able to achieve promotion to the First Division. At Genk, he was considered a father figure in that period, which earned him the nickname Papa.

Genk signed several reinforcements for the 1996–97 season, including Bart Goor and Anthuenis' old acquaintances like Souleymane Oularé. The Ghanaian striker played as a forward with Branko Strupar, who had his big breakthrough under Anthuenis. In 1998, Genk surprisingly finished runners up and conquered the Belgian Cup for the first time. In the final, they beat the then national champions Club Brugge 4–0, with two goals from Oularé. The next season, Anthuenis led Genk to their first national championship. Anthuenis himself was voted Belgian Manager of the Year.

Anderlecht
After the national title with Genk, Anthuenis moved to Anderlecht. The club had been looking for its 25th national title since 1995 and hoped to win it with the Lokeren-born trainer. Under Anthuenis, the club acquired former Lokeren striker Jan Koller who, together with Tomasz Radzinski, became one of Anderlecht's stars. Anthuenis won the Belgian First Division that year, and was named for the second time Belgian Manager of the Year.

Anderlecht qualified for the UEFA Champions League in August 2000 by eliminating Porto in the last qualifying round. Anderlecht continued to surprise in the group stage of the Champions League. The Brussels team won their group, which included Manchester United, PSV and Dynamo Kiev. They defeated Manchester United 2–1 at home and PSV 2–3 at the Philips Stadion. In the second group stage, Anderlecht ended up in the group of defending champions Real Madrid, Lazio and Leeds. They won at home against Real (2–0) and Lazio (1–0), but eventually only finished third in their group. That season, Anderlecht was again crowned national champions, while Authensis was named Belgian Manager of the Year for the third time.

Anderlecht finished the 2001–02 Belgian First Division third, while in Champions League it ended fourth in their group with three points. After the end of the season, Anderlecht and Anthuenis parted ways.

Belgium national team
On 29 June 2002, Anthuenis signed a contract for two and a half years with the Royal Belgian Football Association (KBVB). The Red Devils had just finished the World Cup in Japan and South Korea when Anthuenis took over. He tried to qualify for UEFA Euro 2004 with a new generation of Belgians. Anthuenis brought to the national team and made debut players like Thomas Buffel, Jelle Van Damme, Vincent Kompany and Anthony Vanden Borre. Under Anthuenis, Kompany debuted at just 17 years old.

Belgium was placed in Group 8 in the UEFA Euro 2004 qualifying. They finished behind Bulgaria with the same points as Croatia, tying also on head-to-head points. However, Croatia advanced to the play-offs due to a better head-to-head goal difference.

Despite the failed qualifying campaign, Anthuenis stayed as head coach of Belgium. He was now tasked with guiding the Belgians to the World Cup in Germany. Belgium ended up in Group 7, a group that included Spain. Anthuenis didn't reach the target, with the national team finishing fourth in their group, and failing to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1978.

Third stint at Lokeren
A few months after his last international match as national coach, Anthuenis started working again at Lokeren, despite offers from abroad and the plan to take a break from football. In December 2005, he became Lokeren's new coach. Anthuenis soon had to deal with depression and heart problems. He later explained that he actually had a burnout, after going back to work right away. When Lokeren lost 2–0 to Lierse on 11 February 2006, he was so tired that he called it quits, temporarily withdrawing from football.

Germinal Beerschot
In 2006, Anthuenis was appointed as technical director at Germinal Beerschot, a position that previously did not exist at the Antwerp club. Marc Brys was then hired as coach. After two years, it was decided to drop the position and not to renew Anthuenis' contract. But a few months after his contract ended, in November 2008, Germinal Beerschot fired trainer Harm van Veldhoven, and this time asked Anthuenis to become their new coach. Anthuenis agreed, and under his leadership Germinal Beerschot finished the season in thirteenth place, avoiding relegation.

The next season, after poor performances by the team, Anthuenis was fired.

Lierse
In February 2010, Anthuenis signed with Second Division club Lierse. With players like Jurgen Cavens, Tim Matthys and Seth De Witte, he led Lierse to the league title the same year. The club thus returned to the First Division after an absence of three years. However, Anthuenis was sacked after a few months into the 2010–11 Pro League season.

Personal life
Aimé Anthuenis is the brother of PVV politician Georges Anthuenis and the uncle of VLD politician Filip Anthuenis. His brother was mayor of Lokeren from 1995 to 2000. His son Filip succeeded him in 2001.

Name
"This 18th-century sovereign was named after her father Emperor Sakuramachi and go- (後), translates as "later"; and thus, she could be called the "Later Sakuramachi". The Japanese word go has also been translated to mean the "second one;" and in some older sources, this empress might be identified as "Sakuramachi II"."

Can somebody provide a source for that? It rather reminds me of 武后. EnTerbury (talk) 20:52, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Empress Go-Sakuramachi
Please, don't change Empress Go-Sakuramachi's coronation date into 15 September 1762, she only became empress at that time, her enthronement (coronation) occurred on 31 December 1763, look in the Japanese Wikipedia page.

Blue Shirts Society

The Blue Shirts Society (藍衣社), also known as the Society of Practice of the Three Principles of the People (, commonly abbreviated as SPTPP), the Spirit Encouragement Society (勵志社, SES) and the China Reconstruction Society (中華復興社, CRS), was a secret ultranationalist faction in the Kuomintang inspired by German and Italian fascists.

The rise and fall of the Blue Shirt Society was rapid, but obscure, and it was seldom mentioned again by either the KMT or the Chinese Communist Party after the establishment of the People's Republic of China and the following KMT retreat to Taiwan.

Membership and development
Chiang Kai-shek founded the Blue Shirts in 1932. Its leaders were young officers from the Nationalist army. Although in its early stage the society's most important members came from the Whampoa Military Academy, and constituted elements of the KMT's Whampoa Clique, by the 1930s its influence extended into the military and political spheres, and had influence upon China's economy and society. Historian Jeffrey Crean notes, however, that while the Blue Shirts impacted elite politics, it had little impact on the rural people who were the vast majority of China's population. Membership peaked at 10,000 in 1935.

Membership in the Blue Shirts Society was kept a strict secret:

"With a view to attaining the object of immediately overthrowing the feudal influences, exterminating the Red Bandits, and dealing with foreign insult[s], members of the Blue Shirts Society should conduct in secret their activities in various provinces, xian, and cities, except for the central Guomindang headquarters and other political organs whose work must be executed in an official manner.'"

Ideology and rhetoric
The Blue Shirts articulated a slogan of "Nationalize, Militarize, Productive." Blue Shirt rhetoric stressed contempt for liberal democracy and the political usefulness of violence. Blue Shirts favored a "permanent purge" of bureaucracy, and in their view a "mass violence organization" was necessary to achieve that purge.

Blue Shirt ideology was influenced by contact with the Nazi advisors to the KMT, such as Hermann Kriebel. The organization was inspired by the German Brownshirts and the Italian Blackshirts, although unlike those organizations, the Blue Shirts were composed of political elites, not the popular masses.

Some historians, including Paul Jackson and Cyprian Balmires, have classified the Blue Shirt Society as a ‘fascistic’ ultranationalist group rather than a ‘fascist’ group.

Whole New Culture Movement
Xiao Zuolin (肖作霖), a BSS member early on, drafted a plan called the Whole New Culture Movement and proposed the establishment of an organization called the Chinese Culture Academy to increase the BSS's influence in culture. Xiao got Deng Wenyi's support and carried out his plan by taking over several newspapers and journals, and by enrolling its members in universities. Its scheme of forging a movement for a new culture was adopted by Chiang, and on 19 February 1934, he announced the New Life Movement at a meeting in Nanchang. The plan involved reconstructing the moral system of the Chinese and welcoming a renaissance and reconstruction of Chinese national pride.

In connection with the New Life Movement, some Blue Shirts attacked what they deemed as symbols of Western decadence like dance halls and movie theaters. Some threw acid on Chinese dressed in Western attire.

In March, Chiang issued guidance, consisting of 95 rules of the New Life Movement, being a mixture of Chinese traditions and western standards. It was a vast propaganda movement, with war mobilization and military maneuvers on a scale that China had never experienced before. But because the plan was so ambitious and rigid, and because its policies created too much inconvenience in the everyday lives of the people, it fell into disfavor. Nearly three years later in 1936, Chiang had to accept that his favorite movement had failed. Deng, Kang and Jiang Xiaoxian (蔣孝先), Chiang's nephew and bodyguard, also BSS members were appointed General Secretariats of the New Life Movement, with supervision of public lifestyles enforced by BSS cadres. By controlling the mouthpieces of the KMT, the BSS openly expressed advocacy of fascism in its publications.

With the New Culture Movement failed but still officially ongoing, the BSS spread its influence into the cultural centers of Shanghai and other major cities that used to be the CC Clique's power base.

De Carne Christi

De Carne Christi (c. 203–206, 'On the Flesh of Christ ') is a polemical work by Tertullian against the Gnostic Docetism of Marcion, Apelles, Valentinus and Alexander. It purports that the body of Christ was a real human body, born from the virginal body of Mary, but not by way of human procreation. Among other justifications for the incarnation of Christ, it states that "the choice of 'foolish' flesh is part of [God's] conscious rejection of conventional wisdom" and that "Without true incarnation, there can be no true redemption... God must have flesh, in order to have a real death and real resurrection." (De Carne Christi, Mahé edition).

The work contains the phrase prorsus credibile est, quia ineptum est ("it is immediately credible – because it is silly" or "it is by all means to be believed, because it is absurd" ), which is commonly paraphrased as Credo quia absurdum ("I believe because it is absurd").

Hero of the Day

"Hero of the Day" is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica from their 1996 album Load. The song was recorded on December 13, 1995, at Plant Studios in Sausalito, California. "Hero of the Day" was Metallica's second single release from the album. The song became their second consecutive number-one hit on the US Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and reached number two in Australia, number three in Finland and number eight in Norway. The song is one of the few Metallica songs written primarily in a major key. A promotional video for the track was also filmed.

The "Hero of the Day" single is notable for including four Motörhead cover songs, recorded live direct to two-track at The Plant Studios during a rehearsal for Lemmy's 50th Birthday Party at Los Angeles' Whisky a Go Go nightclub. These B-sides were later released on the second CD of the Garage Inc. compilation in 1998.

History
According to an article in the rock music magazine Kerrang, around the time of Load's release, the demo for the song was entitled "Mouldy" due to the main riff reminding James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich of a typical Bob Mould sound. The demo was recorded on December 10, 1994, one of the earliest demo recordings for the Load sessions (the first demo to be recorded was for "Wasting My Hate" on November 28, 1994).

Critical reception
Discussing the style of the song, Loudwire opined "Hero of the Day" to be a "mellifluous saunter into soft rock territory". Terry Bezer of Louder Sound called the song "epic".

Music video
The music video for this song was directed by Anton Corbijn and features a drug-addled youth watching a television, with every channel featuring Metallica in some way. A Western movie titled Load is featured, starring Newsted and Hetfield, followed by a boxing match with Hetfield as coach, and Newsted and Kirk Hammett as the fighters. After a drink called "Load" is advertised by Ulrich and Hetfield in matching suits, a game show called "Hero of the Day" (which is a parody of Jeopardy!) is seen being played of which Jason Newsted is the host. Then, it cuts to the news with the anchorman played by Hammett and featuring a clip of Hetfield singing the lyrics to the song. A girl calls at the youth's house and they later try having sex, but the young man is unaroused, and leans back in his bed, visibly disappointed. The girl later leaves. At the end, the youth passes out, and dreams of tiny robot creatures, rendered in stop motion, emerging from his ear. He awakes from the dream and vomits into his toilet.

Daniel Paul Ratushny (born October 29, 1970) is a Canadian professional ice hockey coach, lawyer, and sports arbitrator. A former professional ice hockey defenceman, he last served as head coach of Lausanne HC of the Swiss top-flight National League A (NLA).

Playing career
Ratushny was selected 25th overall in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft by the Winnipeg Jets following his freshman season at Cornell University. He spent two more seasons at Cornell and was named All-America and ECAC first-team all-star in both 1990 and 1991. He would also represent Canada at the 1990 IIHF World U20 Championship, winning a gold medal.

Ratushny left college hockey after his junior year to join the Canadian National Team to participate at the 1992 Olympics (at the time, the national team was stocked with amateur players, as professional participation at the Olympics was prohibited). He spent the conclusion of the 1990–91 and the entire 1991–92 seasons with the national team, winning a silver medal at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France.

Ratushny finished the 1991–92 season in Switzerland with EHC Olten before signing with the IHL Fort Wayne Komets for the 1992-93 season. He was dealt to the Vancouver Canucks at the NHL trade deadline in 1993, but only played one game for the Canucks.

From 1993 until 1999, Ratushny played in the AHL and IHL before continuing his career abroad in Japan, Finland, the United Kingdom and Sweden.

Ratushny made a brief appearance in an episode of the Scottish sitcom Still Game.

Education and legal work
Daniel received his B.Sc. in Economics from Cornell in 1997. He earned his M.B.A. from Strathclyde Business School in 2003 and his LL.B. from the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law in 2006.

From 2006 until 2009, Ratushny worked as a lawyer in the corporate department of the international law firm Stikeman Elliott.

In 2015 he earned his Executive Master in International Sports Law from ISDE in Madrid, Spain and is currently a sports arbitrator.

Coaching career
He served as assistant coach at the University of Ottawa in 2004-05.

From 2009 until 2011, Ratushny was the head coach of the Swiss National League B team EHC Olten. In 2011, he became head coach of the Straubing Tigers of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) for three seasons.

Nouvelle Star

Nouvelle Star (also known as À la Recherche de la Nouvelle Star for the first season) is a French television series based on the popular Pop Idol programme produced by FremantleMedia. It was broadcast by M6 in seasons 1–8 before D8 aired seasons 9—12. M6 broadcast the 13th and final season.

It was hosted by Benjamin Castaldi for the first three seasons (2003–2005). He also hosted 13 episodes of seasons 4 (2006). Virginie Efira presented the remainder of season 4, as well as presenting seasons 5 and 6. Virginie Guilhaume hosted seasons 7 and 8. Since season 9, Cyril Hanouna is the Nouvelle Star's TV host.

On 4 July 2012, Bibiane Godfroid, program director of Nouvelle Star announced that the show will not return on M6 but will instead be on D8, after its acquisition by Canal +.

In 2017, M6 confirmed that season 13 would be the last.

Format of the series
The four members of the jury have to judge about 25,000 contestants in various towns around France and Belgium. Until the final rounds begin, the show presents both the successful and the poorest performers, known as the "inoubliables" (unforgettable ones). Some of the worst performers have also performed as guests during the final stages.

Of the 25,000 contestants, only 150 (140 in season 6) are selected for the next round of auditions, which takes place at the Theatre Trianon in central Paris. There are two auditions over the space of three days, the highlights of which are shown over the course of two shows. Specific exercises are given to the contestants in order to evaluate their artistic talents: pitch, rhythmic accuracy, ability to remember lyrics and to learn songs, sing in a trio, and deal with tiredness and stress, etc. During the first day of the Theatre stage of auditions, contestants perform on stage in lines of eight, each contestant performing the song of their choice a capella. On day 2, 70 contestants who made it through the previous day are given a choice of three songs (two specifically for boys or for girls, and one for both, as of Series 6) and have to form trios with other contestants of their choice but of the same sex, they will be accompanied by a guitar and a piano. The 50 remaining contestants will interpret a song, in French, accompanied by an orchestra band. For the first time at this ultimate step before the live primes, this year, the contestants have performed in front of more than 400 persons including the jury at the theatre.

The jury will have to decide between 20 remaining contestants (27 in season 6) on a television screen, reviewing the all auditions of those contestants, of which they will select 15 for the first live television prime where they will be submitted to viewers' vote. In series 6, the viewers rejected 6 contestants of which the jury saved one.

There is no wildcard round in the French format, and viewers only vote by text or by phone. Only viewers' votes decide of the result during the prime, but the judges comment by giving first an illustrated verdict by colored traffic lights in front of them Blue for Good, and Red for bad performance (coloured lights introduced in season 5, and taken the form of traffic lights in season 6). The voting is different from American Idol as viewers vote during the programme and results are given at the end of it, by Virginie (The Host) and Maitre Najar (bailiff), where Virginie selects at random the saved contestants leaving only the ones dropped by the viewers. The previous seasons' jury (Mainly Marianne James) was used to contesting a lot the results.

Auditions
The inaugural season featured auditions in France, Belgium, and Quebec, Canada. Later series dropped Quebec from the audition tour, as Canadian Idol had started, and therefore, Francophones could audition in their home country.

For Nouvelle Star's seasons 2, 3 and 4, auditions were held in Toulouse, Rennes, Marseilles, Lyon, and Paris and in one location in Belgium, at Liège.

Nouvelle Star, ça continue...
Nouvelle Star, ça continue... is a program broadcast directly after the prime Nouvelle Star shows. It was broadcast on Fun TV (2003-2005), W9 (2006-2009), M6 (2010) and now on C8. The show includes interviews with judges, saved or eliminated contestants des jurés, invited musical guests. Hosts were Adrien Lemaître on Fun TV, Alexandre Devoise, Jérôme Anthony and Sidonie Bonnec all on W9, Estelle Denis and Jérôme Anthony on M6 with Camille Combal giving a diary, Énora Malagré on D8.

Saga Nouvelle Star
Saga Nouvelle Star or La Saga Nouvelle Star was an old daily show hosted by Virginie Efira on M6, following various seasons of the Nouvelle Star show. It was broadcast only in 2007 and then stopped. In each show, she would present Top des Inoubliables internationaux (meaning best of international unforgettables), being winners from various countries where Idol series are broadcast. Broadcast at 19:00 in access prime time, it brought in an average 1.1 million of viewers.

Alain Raymond

Alain Raymond (born June 24, 1965) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender. He played one game in the National Hockey League with the Washington Capitals during the 1987–88 season. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1986 to 1992, was spent in the minor leagues.

Playing career
Raymond played one game in the National Hockey League with the Washington Capitals during the 1987–88 season, on December 9, 1987 against the Hartford Whalers. He gave up two goals in the two periods that he played.

In his first full IHL season with the Fort Wayne Komets, Raymond won the James Norris Memorial Trophy, awarded to the goaltenders with the fewest goals against in the regular season.

Raymond split most of his time during the 1989–90 season between two clubs. He played 31 games with the ECHL's Hampton Roads Admirals and played another 11 games with their parent club, the AHL's Baltimore Skipjacks. Raymond went 17–12–1 with a 3.60 GAA, earning him named the starting goalie on the East Coast Hockey League's all-star team.

Steppe lemming

The steppe lemming or steppe vole (Lagurus lagurus) is a small, plump, light-grey rodent, similar in appearance to the Norway lemming (Lemmus lemmus), but not in the same genus. The steppe lemming eats shoots and leaves and is more active at night, though it is not strictly nocturnal. In the wild, it is found in steppes and semiarid environments in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, northwestern China, and western Mongolia. Fossil remains of this species have been found in areas as far west as Great Britain.

Description
The steppe lemming has a body length of up to 12 cm and a tail of 2 cm, a little shorter than the hind foot. It weighs about 30 g. The eyes and ears are small and the fur is a uniform shade of brownish-grey with a black dorsal stripe.

Distribution
This lemming is found in steppe, forest-steppe and semidesert parts of western Mongolia, northwest China, many parts of the former USSR, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, the southern and middle Ural, and western and eastern Siberia.

Ecology
The steppe lemming is a colonial species digging lengthy burrows. It has a partially underground mode of life, being active during the day, but only going above the surface for short periods. It feeds on various parts of plants, including seeds. It reaches sexual maturity at the age of six weeks and can produce up to six broods in a year, with five or six young in each. Under favourable conditions, reproduction continues throughout the year. The numbers of steppe lemmings vary greatly according to climatic conditions and the availability of food. Migrations are observed during years of mass outbreaks.

Steppe lemmings as pets
It is the most common domestic vole, being particularly well known in Europe. (In the US and Canada, it is still considered an exotic animal.)

In captivity, they can live over two years, but they are usually mistreated with small cages (A suitable space larger than average is best for a colony of rodents ) and improper diets. Although the steppe lemming is social by nature and should not be held in captivity alone, if a colony of steppe lemmings is held together for a long period of time (two to three months) they may become hostile to each other (mainly to the subordinate members of the colony). If there is only one separate nesting area, two entrances or exits should be placed, due to the attack style of the more impetuous lemmings. They also tend to be very territorial animals, so a low male population is best in captivity. Overall, three to eight steppe lemmings in one cage or aquarium is ideal, with no more than one male for every two or three females.

Standard rodent food containing bits of dried fruit is not appropriate; as their natural diets do not contain much sugar, steppe lemmings are somewhat diabetic, and become sick or even die from overdosing on sugar. A sugar-free, no molasses food that does not contain dried fruit and little sunflower and other oily seeds should be used; laboratory rodent foods may be a cheap alternative. Additionally, steppe lemmings need grass and other leafy greens, such as alfalfa, to thrive.

Grass gathered outdoors may harbor parasites and toxins and should not be used unless gathered from meadows away from inhabited areas, roads and not frequented by dogs or used for grazing. No matter where any grass or moss has been obtained, and even if it is only intended for bedding, it should be kept in a freezer for three days to eliminate parasites such as lice and mites.

Clean water should be always available; the amount actually drunk varies with the food consumed. Willow twigs need to be provided for abrading the continuously growing teeth. Lemmings can drink from a shallow dish, but since they typically track their bedding into the water, a bottle with a ball valve is better.

Lemmings enjoy any kind of running or climbing; however, as their habitat is essentially flat and rather featureless terrain, they have a poor sense of height and danger, so their enclosures should not be high enough to allow them to fall more than 10–15 cm and should, of course, be lined with wood chips and hay. An exercise wheel is the best way to keep the animals busy and trim, and if the wheels afford enough space, they will often race in it together. (However, fights can often develop around wheels - with males, particularly, it is helpful to have several wheels, perhaps even one for each lemming.)

Motives for fighting
In general, steppe lemmings are friendly animals and prefer to live in colonies. Even small groups of males (preferably from the same litter) can live quite peacefully. However, males do tend to be territorial and a mature alpha male will nearly always attack a stranger and will often mistreat other members of his own litter, particularly if the nest is overcrowded. A large, well-filled terrarium (about 5–10 cm wood chips covered by about 10 cm of hay) can allow a group to live far more peacefully; altercations should be expected in smaller spaces with little bedding.

Fights (as well as unintentional accidents) can also occur in and around exercise wheels.

Once a male has become aggressive - even with an outsider - he should be considered dangerous, watched very closely and - if possible - be neutered and placed with a group of females. Although neutering a lemming is a difficult operation typically attempted only by veterinary hospitals, it is possible. A neutered alpha male will generally not become less aggressive toward other males.

Fights, wounds and necessary precautions
The aggressor will try to trap the defending lemming in a corner and then attack with his teeth and short claws. Excited chirps, chattering and running typically accompany a fight - in most cases, the whole colony will be disturbed. (While activity of this kind is amusing for new owners, it should be observed very carefully, since peaceful lemming colonies are much quieter than ones characterized by aggressive behavior.)

Since lemmings like to nest in small, narrow enclosures (like boxes the size of a fist), it is important for the enclosure have a second exit, so the defender can escape into another part of the terrarium. Lemming fights sometimes leave no exterior signs of violence, but can cause fatal internal bleeding. More often, fights result in lacerations, often around the hind legs, bottom and genitals.

Lemmings hurt in a fight should be placed in terraria or cages separate from the aggressor as soon as possible. Also, their natural tendency to scratch and lick at wounds can cause slow healing. A veterinarian may prescribe antibiotics and infection retardants to help an injured lemming, generally at reasonable costs. While it can be very difficult to convince an injured lemming to drink its medicated drops or eat food laced with medicine, a good trick is to place drops of medicine on the lemming's nose. Through licking itself clean, the lemming will ingest the medicine.

Alexander's trick

Alexander's trick, also known as the Alexander trick, is a basic result in geometric topology, named after J. W. Alexander.

Statement
Two homeomorphisms of the n-dimensional ball $$D^n$$ which agree on the boundary sphere $$S^{n-1}$$ are isotopic.

More generally, two homeomorphisms of $$D^n$$ that are isotopic on the boundary are isotopic.

Proof
Base case: every homeomorphism which fixes the boundary is isotopic to the identity relative to the boundary.

If $$f\colon D^n \to D^n$$ satisfies $$f(x) = x \text{ for all } x \in S^{n-1}$$, then an isotopy connecting f to the identity is given by

 * $$ J(x,t) = \begin{cases} tf(x/t), & \text{if } 0 \leq \|x\| < t, \\ x, & \text{if } t \leq \|x\| \leq 1. \end{cases} $$

Visually, the homeomorphism is 'straightened out' from the boundary, 'squeezing' $$f$$ down to the origin. William Thurston calls this "combing all the tangles to one point". In the original 2-page paper, J. W. Alexander explains that for each $$t>0 $$ the transformation $$J_t $$ replicates $$f$$ at a different scale, on the disk of radius $$t$$, thus as $$t\rightarrow 0$$ it is reasonable to expect that $$J_t $$ merges to the identity.

The subtlety is that at $$t=0$$, $$f$$ "disappears": the germ at the origin "jumps" from an infinitely stretched version of $$f$$ to the identity. Each of the steps in the homotopy could be smoothed (smooth the transition), but the homotopy (the overall map) has a singularity at $$(x,t)=(0,0)$$. This underlines that the Alexander trick is a PL construction, but not smooth.

General case: isotopic on boundary implies isotopic

If $$f,g\colon D^n \to D^n$$ are two homeomorphisms that agree on $$S^{n-1}$$, then $$g^{-1}f$$ is the identity on $$S^{n-1}$$, so we have an isotopy $$J$$ from the identity to $$g^{-1}f$$. The map $$gJ$$ is then an isotopy from $$g$$ to $$f$$.

Radial extension
Some authors use the term Alexander trick for the statement that every homeomorphism of $$S^{n-1}$$ can be extended to a homeomorphism of the entire ball $$D^n$$.

However, this is much easier to prove than the result discussed above: it is called radial extension (or coning) and is also true piecewise-linearly, but not smoothly.

Concretely, let $$f\colon S^{n-1} \to S^{n-1}$$ be a homeomorphism, then
 * $$ F\colon D^n \to D^n \text{ with } F(rx) = rf(x) \text{ for all } r \in [0,1] \text{ and } x \in S^{n-1}$$ defines a homeomorphism of the ball.

Exotic spheres
The failure of smooth radial extension and the success of PL radial extension yield exotic spheres via twisted spheres.

Infanta Maria Teresa of Braganza

Infanta Maria Teresa of Braganza ( or ; 29 April 1793 – 17 January 1874) was the firstborn child of John VI of Portugal and Carlota Joaquina of Spain. From 1828 to 1834, she was heiress presumptive to the Portuguese throne.

Early life
Maria Teresa Francisca de Assis Antónia Carlota Joana Josefa Xavier de Paula Micaela Rafaela Isabel Gonzaga was born in Ajuda, Lisbon, in 1793 during the reign of her grandmother Queen Maria I. Maria Teresa was the eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Brazil (later King John VI and Carlota Joaquina). Her mother was the daughter of Charles IV of Spain. As the eldest child of the heir apparent, Maria Teresa was granted the title Princess of Beira, which she held until her brother Francisco António was born in 1795.

Marriage
She was married on 13 May 1810 in Rio de Janeiro (where the royal family was exiled because of the Napoleonic wars) to her cousin Infante Pedro Carlos, Prince of Spain and Portugal. She was widowed on 26 May 1812, soon after giving birth to her only child, a son, Infante Sebastian of Portugal and Spain (1811–1875).

Very conservative, she was an ally of her younger brother Miguel I of Portugal in his attempts to obtain the throne of Portugal (civil war 1826–1834), and of her brother-in-law and uncle Infante Don Carlos, Count of Molina in his attempts to obtain the Spanish throne. Following Miguels accession in 1828, Maria Teresa became heiress presumptive to her then childless brother, and would remain so until his deposition in 1834. In the last years of the reign of her uncle Ferdinand VII of Spain (died 1833), Teresa lived in Madrid and plotted to strengthen Don Carlos' position in succession. She participated in the First Carlist War (1833–1839), being a leading supporter of Carlism, church and reactionary interests. Her sister Francisca, Titular Queen of Spain, wife of Carlos, died in 1834.

Spanish succession
On 15 January 1837, the Cortes of Spain legislated her excluded from the Spanish succession, rights belonging to her in descent from her mother, on grounds of her being a rebel along with Don Carlos. Her son Sebastian's rights were similarly excluded, but he was later, in 1859, restored in Spain. Also don Carlos' sons and Teresa's brother Miguel I of Portugal were excluded at the same law.

The next year she married again, in 1838, to her brother-in-law, uncle and longtime ally, Infante Carlos of Spain (1788–1855), whom she viewed as the rightful king of Spain; the widower of her sister Maria Francisca. The second marriage remained childless, but she took care of her stepsons, who were also her nephews and cousins. Following her marriage, her claim as the Miguelist heir passed to her only son by her first marriage, Infante Sebastião.

They soon left Spain because of unsuccess in the civil war, and never returned. She died in Trieste on 17 January 1874, having survived her second husband by nineteen years.

Pests is an abstract strategy board game played by two or more players on a finite rectangular grid (most often a sheet of paper). The rules depend on the size of grid and a number of pests per turn m (two common variants are (10x10,3) and ("the whole sheet",5-10)).

Players alternate their moves. On the first turn the player puts m "pests" from his corner of the board (players choose opposite corners. If there are more than two players, starting positions can be different). Each new pest should be adjacent to the others (by side or by diagonal). On the next turns the following actions can be performed:
 * Create a new pest adjacent to existing pest (or base, see below).
 * Eat the opposing pest adjacent to your pest or base. The occupied cell becomes a "base" of the player who was attacking. To function the base must have an adjacent pest of that player or a functioning base of that player (they combine into a larger base). The functioning base works like pest for creating new pests or eating opponent's pests. The base can't be eaten.

Exactly m actions should be performed.

The game ends when:
 * Only one player has pests - in which case he is the winner.
 * There are no valid moves. It may happen when both players have a pest surrounded by his own base. These pests would never be eaten. In that case the game could end as a draw, or the player with the most territory can be declared a winner.

Wally Moses

Wallace Moses (October 8, 1910 – October 10, 1990) was an American professional baseball right fielder, who played Major League Baseball for the Philadelphia Athletics (1935–41; 1949–51), Chicago White Sox (1942–46) and Boston Red Sox (1946–48). Moses batted and threw left-handed, stood 5 ft tall and weighed 160 lb. He was born in Uvalda, Georgia and attended Vidalia High School. He is the only player in Major League Baseball history to accomplish a "walk off steal of home" more than once, which he did twice.

Baseball career
Moses started his professional career with Galveston of the Texas League, where he batted .316 in 1934. He debuted with the Philadelphia Athletics on Opening Day of the season, singling off Earl Whitehill of the Washington Senators before President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Vice President John Nance Garner at Griffith Stadium. He batted over .300 in each of his seven years with the Athletics, including a career-best .345 in his sophomore year.

Moses had by far his most productive season in, when he hit career-highs in home runs (25), RBI (86), runs (113), hits (208) and doubles (48), batting .320 with 13 triples. Prior to the season, he missed the opportunity to play for a World Series team, when his trade to the Detroit Tigers for Benny McCoy was nullified by Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis. The commissioner's ruling made McCoy and 87 Tiger minor leaguers free agents.

Through years of last place finishes with Philadelphia, Moses had little chance to display his speed on the basepaths. But in, with the Chicago White Sox, he posted a career-high 56 stolen bases and co-led the American League in triples (12). A strong-armed right fielder, he led the AL in putouts (329) in.

He played in his only World Series in 1946 as a member of the Red Sox. Moses started three of the Series' seven games in right field, and batted .417 (5-for-12), tied a Series record with four hits in a game.

His first seven years with the A's, 1935 through 1941, were the most productive in his career. Moses surpassed .300 in every season. He produced 61 home runs, 354 RBI, and hit .317 (1,135-for-3,580). After being traded away after the season, he never hit .300 again and his productivity declined, recording 28 home runs, 325 RBI, and batting .266 (1,003-for-3,776) over the next ten seasons with the White Sox, Red Sox and a second term with the A's (1949-51). The closest he came to the .300 plateau is when he hit .295 with the White Sox in 1945.

In his 17-season career, Moses hit .291 with 89 home runs and 679 RBI in 2,012 games played. He added 1,124 runs, 2,138 hits, 435 doubles, 110 triples and 174 stolen bases. His career fielding percentage was .973. A patient hitter with a good eye, Moses collected a 1.80 walk-to-strikeout ratio (821-to-457). He also made the American League All-Star team in 1937 and 1945, but didn't appear in the 1937 game (there was no All-Star game in 1945 due to war restrictions).

Post career
Immediately following his playing career, Moses became a coach for the Athletics from 1952 to 1954, the A's final three seasons in Philadelphia. He then moved to the Philadelphia Phillies (1955–58), Cincinnati Reds (1959–60), New York Yankees (1961–62; 1966) and Detroit Tigers (1967–70), serving as both a first base coach and hitting instructor. He also was a minor league batting coach and scout for the Yankees. As a hitting coach, he would teach his batters to go after pitches and lean over the plate.

Moses died in Vidalia, Georgia two days after his 80th birthday.

Moses was the last 20th century Athletics player with a 200-hit season, with 208 in. Sixty-five years later, Miguel Tejada collected 204 (October 5, 2002).

OShannessy Dam
The proper geographic name is O'Shannassy Weir. Location: -37.680205°S,145.905217°E

Why big table?
Surely the way it is is ok as long as everything is in alphabetical order? Fancyfootwork 05:46, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I like the list as it is, but it would also be good to have a sortable table (see Melbourne Water) so the dams and reservoirs could be viewed by size (megalitres), or by date of completion, or by name or by state. That way it would be easy to see, for example, the largest or earliest dams. —Pengo 10:18, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Doraemon: Nobita Drifts in the Universe

Doraemon: Nobita Drifts in the Universe (ドラえもん のび太の宇宙漂流記) is the 1999 Japanese animated epic space opera film. It is the second Doraemon film released after Hiroshi Fujimoto's departure, based on the 19 volume of the same name of the Doraemon Long Stories series. This is the third movie solely produced by Fujiko Production following The Record of Nobita's Parallel Visit to the West (1988) and Nobita's Great Adventure in the South Seas (1998). This movie commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Doraemon film series during its end credits showcasing a piece of artwork of it and all films released prior. It was released on March 6, 1999, together with Doraemon: Nobita's the Night Before a Wedding and Funny Candy of Okashinana!?. It is the 20th Doraemon film.

Plot
The film starts with Doraemon along with his other friends play a game which he has brought from the future. They all try to race but Gian and Suneo shoot everyone else down, returning Nobita, Doraemon, and Shizuka back to Nobita's room. While waiting for them to finish, Nobita asks Doraemon for another gadget, the Gravity Modifier, making the entire room have no gravitational pull. However, this gets destroyed shortly after leading to the space game getting thrown out from the room, leaving Gian and Suneo stuck inside.

When the group cleans up, they find out the game had been thrown by Nobita's mother, which is gone by the time they reach the dump. Using the Time Camera, Doraemon sees a strange light carrying the game where it disappears into a spaceship. At that place where it departs, they found a strange, glowing rock. Doraemon, Nobita, and Shizuka then use the Space Exploration Boat to chase the spaceship.

The group catches up to the spaceship during a wormhole storm, which is severe enough for them to evacuate the Exploration Boat. They enter the spaceship using the Pass Loop and find Gian and Suneo then attempt to leave. Suddenly, the crew of the spaceship confronts the group, saying they're the owner of the spaceship and locks them in the room from earlier.

The spaceship soon encounters problems and has to land on a planet, Doraemon and the others escape the room they're locked in, finding themselves in a rocky and barren planet inhabited by giant metallic spiders. The group evade them, but the spiders trap the spaceship in their web. Deciding to help the spaceship and its crew, Doraemon had Gian blow an enlarged Hamelin Pipe to make the spiders run and help clear the webs on the spaceship.

Once they realize Doraemon's group is friendly, the people on the spaceship introduce themselves as Lian, Log, Freya and Gorogoro. They are on their way back to their mothership where they live after a mission to find a habitable planet with no inhabitants to settle in. They agree to take Doraemon and the others back to earth after they arrive to their mothership to fix their warp device. But their ship begins to break down again, leading to them trying to land on a foggy planet, the ship then crashes and everyone is knocked out.

Nobita and the others are the first to "get up" and think they landed back on Earth. However, seemingly unexpected things happen. Suddenly, Nobita wakes up from the glowing stone pricking him, then realizes the place is a barren wasteland with giant tree monsters. After waking up Doraemon, they realized they are dreaming and he quickly uses the Faraway Wake Up Clock to snap the others awake, Lian's group then rescue everyone despite some trouble with the ship's door and leave the planet.

On their way, the ship crosses on a space field littered by debris, suddenly many 'live meteors' attach themselves to their ship and drain most of its energy. They are saved by a missile out of nowhere, but get brought to a secret base, where they meet Liebert, who turns out to be Lian's father, and Angolmois, an evil cloaked figure who wishes to conquer Earth. It turns out that Freya was a spy and everyone else gets imprisoned.

With the Underground Submarine, Doraemon and the group escapes and made a run for Lian's spaceship. Despite them trying to hold back Angolmois's robot soldiers, they nearly didn't make it until Freya grabs one of the guns and shoots a soldier. Freya hesitates to join but enters when Lian tells her to do so, everyone then forgives her.

Just as Lian's spaceship break down again, they finally reached their mothership. The leader of the ship, along with their council, discuss what to do with Angolmois's menace towards them, and they decided to ask their 'god', a giant glowing tree that is capable of doing special things. Nobita also realizes that the glowing rock he found back on earth is one of the tree's 'seed' that Lian accidentally dropped. Lian prays to it and a projection of his deceased mother appears who tells him to save his father from Angolmois who controls him and the space army.

Using the spaceship from their game, Doraemon, Nobita, Shizuka, Gian, and Suneo joins Lian and several more spaceships to repel Angolmois's fleet. They are on the back foot until Freya points out a control rod that controls all the enemy spacecraft. Doraemon, Nobita, Lian and Freya land on the base and uses Nendoron to turn the control rod to clay, disabling all Angolmois's spacecraft. With his fleet lost, Angolmois reveals his base to be a spaceship, unknowingly taking Doraemon's group also. They enter the spacecraft to confront Angolmois and orders Liebert to shoot them. Before he can do so, Liebert snaps out of Angolmois's control, and shoots him instead and reveals him to be a robot.

However, the spaceship is on a crash course on with the mothership. Despite the initial panic, Nobita, Doraemon, Gian, and Suneo ties the Reverse Cloak to their spaceship and shine it with the Big Light. The cloak is big enough to deflect the mothership away from the planet, saving it. Just as they celebrate, Angolmois who assembled a new body out of garbage chases the group run away but gets stuck on a door, and has to revert to his gooey form. Doraemon freezes him with the Coagulation Light and sends him into a black hole.

The inhabitants of the mothership then celebrate Angolmois's defeat and Lian's group returns Doraemon and his friends home while Lian promises to find another planet where they can live on.

The film ends with a repeat of the fog planet scene but with the results being more expected.

Release
The film was released in Japan on 6 March 1999.

Talk:The Fiery Furnaces

Overhaul
In an attempt to move this article ever close to GA status (from which it is very far away at the moment, obviously), I spent the last few hours revamping and streamlining this page from header to footer. I made my best effort to offer sources for the more notable assertions, and tagged those that could not be gleaned from the pre-existing article sources with Fact tags. Also created were the Discography page and the Template:The Fiery Furnaces, so feel free to contribute to those as well. The former could use some information of what positions, if any, the respective releases charted at. C. M. Reed 05:21, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Rewrite,etc..
I just did a re-write including the addition of the Discography section and photo. I'm not sure the influences bit is really necessary but I've kept it for now. If anyone has any more details on the new album (the Grandmother thing needs disscusing) that they wish to add that'd be great, as would something on the current more conventional live shows and the current live lineup (I've heard Toshi and Andy aren't playing anymore). Jellypuzzle 13:29, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

I know rehearsing my choir was based upon their grandmothers life story, that much is a fact. I don't know about her actually narating on it...I'm certain that was just some weird synth sound effects (maybe Matthew's voice altered) --Josquius 22:37, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Influences section

 * The influences section needs to go. I've been to hundreds of wikipedia band pages and none of them have this.  It makes Wikipwdia seem like a music magazine website... R.I.Y.L. and all that.  If anyone wants to write a section on their influences and include sources for any bands cited that's fine, even perfect, but the list as it sits now is unverifiable, shoddy-looking and could become way too long if it goes as is for much longer.--Hraefen 20:25, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I've deleted the influences section from the article for the reasons stated above. Here are the bands/artists removed if anyone wants to incorporate them into the body of the article somewhere (with sources)--Hraefen 22:50, 29 December 2005 (UTC):  The Who, Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Os Mutantes, The Pretty Things, The Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart, Kate Bush, Devo, The Residents

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?
How is their name related to the children's story, as mentioned in the first section? Her Pegship 04:46, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Accuracy of Name's Origin?
As I understand it, the band members are Christians. That being so, can it really be the case that "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" rather than the Biblical story is the primary origin of their name? Does this info come from an interview or what? Dybryd
 * I guess that depends on what you man by Christian. Do you mean nominally, think about it once in  a while, go to church four times a year Christian or do you mean like, they're Christian musicians or something?  Because the former is entirely believable and the latter is something I've never heard said about them.  If you'd like to demand a citation for the "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" derivation, go ahead.  But I'm assuming the person who wrote that is acting on some information whereas you seem to be operating on a hunch.--Hraefen Talk 15:31, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

This article is so poorly written I want to vomit blood all over myself. I'll try to fix pieces of it.

You know I haven't read the book, but wouldn't that description be considered a major spoiler? -- LukeyBoy

Well, don't. "Spoliers" are acceptable in Wikipedia. In fact you may not take out information based on it being a spoiler. This is NOT an advertisement for the book, so its not right to have enough information to get people to read more. If a person is looking up a book, film or whatever on wikipedia, they need to be aware that plot points will be revealed. Many people need to know plots without reading the book for copyright purposes. So if you have an entry for the book, then I sort of insist that the plot be complete. Its just not right to have it say the same as Amazon.com. This isn't for improving sales. -Lollipopfop

Um, unless the offending statement was changed, I don't see much of a spoiler at all. It gives no specifics of the plot or anything. I actually intended to add a ::SPOILER:: Tag and add in a plot synopsis, but it may be a little early yet. --

The plot description seems to be lifted word for word from the inside flap of the novel's dust-cover. Shouldn't it be re-written?

This isn't an advertisement for the book, and a person that is looking up information in wiki should be aware that plot points will be revealed.

 * I have now rewritten the plot section. It's probably a little longer but I've tried to focus more on the scope and flavour of the book rather than the narrative. Thermaland 10:09, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Needless to say, I disagree. It's fine to add on stuff focusing on scope and flavor if you feel that it was insufficiently covered, but I strenuously object to replacing everything with that stuff. --Gwern (contribs) 16:18 12 January 2007 (GMT)

'''The plot is very hard to read. For instance.' For the discovery of his misdeeds, attributed to Charlie, Grahame Coats frames him for the embezzlement. Embittered by the loss of his job and of his fiancée, Charlie requests Callyanne Higgler and three of her equally old, eccentric friends to expel Spider. They are themselves powerless in this matter; therefore they send him to "the beginning of the world", an abode of ancient animal-gods. There, he finds no one willing to trade anything with him, except Bird Woman. Bird Woman trades Charlie one of her feathers in exchange for "Anansi's bloodline for my own".''

''While Charlie is treating with ancient, archetypal, occult powers, Spider is enjoying life under Charlie's name, and is falling in love with Rosie. Preoccupied with her, he neglects his brother's duties at the accounting agency. 'Is Charlie sent away instead? When does Charlie get powers? This is just a few examples of many.''' -- BOB10011001 03:28, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

St. Andrew Island
...is apparently a fictional place; the link in the article goes to the Scottish town. I'm going to remove the link, and qualify the particular sentence to show it's not a real place. ~DC

Wiki links
Why are random words linked to other wiki articles? I'm sure the readers don't need links to articles about "life," "noon," "song," "tongue," etc. Why link some words but not others? It seems to be completely random. [arthal] (talk) 11:57, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Movie Adaptation - Anthony Hopkins?
Currently, the article mentions that "Anthony Hopkins is rumored to be cast as Mr Nancy". No source is cited for this, and it seems to be incongruent with the other parts of the section stating that Gaiman previously declined to have a movie adaptation because the movie makers wanted to change things such as the race of the major characters - which would be the very thing happening were Hopkins cast as Anansi.

I am no expert of Wikipedia and I'm unfamiliar with their policy on unfounded (or at least, uncited) rumors. I'm going to assume that they have little if any place here, otherwise every page would be littered with them. Could someone a little more intimate with the rules take a look at it, and add the citation or delete the sentence if need be? Or respond here to tell me and everyone else that it belongs there, if it does? 184.2.31.218 (talk) 12:47, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

repeated unsourced opinion
Would someone give me a hand keeping this unsourced opinion out of the article? 3RR and all. --jpgordon:==( o ) 18:11, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Another unsourced opinion
Is that Anansi Boys is a spin-off of American Gods. Neil has stated many times, in talks and in media that is not a spin-off. Mr. Nancy does appear in both books, but he was originally imagined for AB, but that story had not been fully fleshed out and writted when it came to write AG. He decided he really liked Mr. Nancy, and decided to use him in AG. Later, the story og Mr. Nancy and his sons was fully written and released. Neither is a spin-off of the other, they merely share a character.--131.167.254.100 (talk) 19:02, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Ravenstone, Leicestershire

Ravenstone is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Ravenstone with Snibstone, in the North West Leicestershire district, in the county of Leicestershire, England. It is within the National Forest, just off the A511 road between Coalville and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, in 2001 it had a population of 2,149.

Historic settlement
Archeological excavations carried out in 1981 to the south of the present village revealed the site of a Romano-British settlement. Evidence for iron smelting was found, along with kilns and coins dating from the late 3rd century. There is also evidence of a Roman road crossing the southern part of the parish and through the settlement. The settlement site was destroyed when around eight million tonnes of coal were extracted by opencast mining between 1982 and 1996. The area has since been returned to open fields and is now known as the Sence Valley Forest Park.

The first documentary evidence of the existence of the village is in the Domesday Book when Donisthorpe, a manor in Derbyshire, was owned by Nigel of Stafford and it was valued at twelve pence. Its name, which is derived from the Old Norse Hrœfnes, the name of a Saxon invader, and the suffix tūn, meaning "Hrafn's farm or village", suggests that the settlement was probably initiated by the Anglo Saxons.

A castle, most probably consisting of an earth mound and ditch surrounded by a wooden palisade, is documented in a treaty concluded between 1147 and 1153 by the Earls of Chester and Leicester, in which it was agreed for it to be destroyed since it threatened their respective estates. The exact site of the castle has so far never been established, but it may have stood on the north side of the village on or near the site of Ravenstone Hall.

The parish church of St Michael and All Angels is situated on the northern fringe of the village and dates from 1323. The church is of sandstone believed to have been quarried at nearby Alton, one of the two abandoned villages in the parish. Alton means "old farm", suggesting that it had been established before Ravenstone.

In 1881 the parish had a population of 451. On 24 March 1884 the parish was abolished and to form "Ravenstone with Snibstone".

The centre of the village was designated a Conservation Area in 1973.

The neighbouring parish of Snibston is home to St. Mary's church, one of the smallest churches in Britain, which holds only about 30 people.

New woodland
To the west of the village was the Long Moor open cast coal mine managed by UK Coal. Over a three-year period from 2007 to 2010 they extracted 725,000 tons of coal. Following restoration, the 188 acre mine site has been acquired by the Woodland Trust. With adjoining agricultural land this will become the Flagship Diamond Wood, a 186 ha new woodland to celebrate the 2012 Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.

Notable people

 * Francis Inge (1840–1923), cricketer and clergyman
 * Ann Ayre Hely (1819-1902), Crimean War nurse 1855-1856. Awarded the Order of the Royal Red Cross 1897. Resided at Ravenstone Hospital 1889-1902
