High Hopes (1988 film)

High Hopes is a 1988 British comedy drama film directed by Mike Leigh, focusing on an extended working-class family living in King's Cross, London, and elsewhere.

The film primarily examines Cyril (Philip Davis) and Shirley (Ruth Sheen), a motor-cycle courier and his girlfriend, along with their friends, neighbours, and Cyril's mother and sister.

Despite staying true to Leigh's down-at-the-heel, realist style, the film is ultimately a social comedy concerning culture clashes between different classes and belief systems. According to the critic Michael Coveney', "As in Meantime, High Hopes contrasts the economic and spiritual conditions of siblings. And in developing some of the themes in Babies Grow Old and Grown-Ups, it presents a brilliantly organised dramatic résumé of attitudes towards parturition and old age."

Previous work
Before High Hopes, director Mike Leigh had made Bleak Moments, released in 1971, and Meantime, released in 1983. This gap in his filmography was attributable in part to his process for creating films: When he applied for financial backing, he did not yet have finished scripts, preferring to allow actors, once they were hired, to use improv sessions to create the dialogue. As a result, given the absence of a concrete script, many potential financial backers were reluctant to support Leigh's work.

Plot
The film centres on Cyril and Shirley, a loving London couple whose "badly-placed" optimism inspired the title of the film; they live in the King's Cross area of London. The plot centres on the interaction of Cyril and his family with members of England's different social classes, including his elderly mother, who lives in a gentrifying neighbourhood; Valerie, his "nouveau riche" sister; Laetitia and Rupert, his mother's upper-middle class neighbours; and a country traveller who stays with Cyril and whom they nickname E.T. because he repeatedly fails to make his way home. Both Cyril and Shirley are highly critical of then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and Shirley names one of her cacti after her.

The film's second half has been described as more thematically serious compared to the first half. One central event to the film is when Cyril's mother loses her keys, and she then is forced to rely on her wealthy neighbours and her children for assistance, displaying a stark contrast between the lifestyles of the different classes. At one point, Mrs. Bender's lexicon differs significantly from that of Laetitia, such as when the latter corrects her for using the term "toilet" as opposed to "lavatory" and when Laetitia tells Mrs. Bender "chop chop" when the latter is, in her view, taking too long to ascend the stairs to her house. Later, Valerie throws their mother an "indescribably vulgar" party for her 70th birthday.

Themes
One theme displayed throughout the film is that no two characters fully understand each other's perspectives or lives, with the sole exceptions of Cyril and Shirley. In a review for Sight & Sound, critic Gilbert Adair posits that the film's themes are akin to those of the writings of Auberon Waugh, in that both sought to portray the lifestyles of the working classes. However, Adair continued, whereas Waugh's goal was to encourage self-described liberal audiences to trust their inner fears of the working classes, Leigh's objective is to encourage audiences to instead trust their liberal ideals, not their fears of the working classes.

Critical

Talk:LPT

Re origin of LPT, I believe that this terminology in DOS descended from DEC systems.

On the DECsystem-10, at least, LPT represented the line printer (along with CDR for card reader, CDP for card punch, DSK for disk, PTR for paper tape reader, PTP for paper tape punch, DTA for DECtape, etc.). Jim 04:41, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Is there a de-facto standard transmission rate? I was under the impression that the protocol was synchronous and not fixed-speed. 75.162.64.104 06:16, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I was under the same delusion, caused by the presence of STROBE output and ACK input ... however some helpful person has edited the article to tell us that the plain old "SPP" type of parallel port represented by the LPT standard was fixed at a whopping speed of 12,000 kbps ! *sarc* Really makes you wonder why it wasn't used more for early hard disks and the like, given that 12mbit/s (over 1.4MiByte/s) would have been pushing the limits of the physical hardware back then. (j/k)

 * (Maybe they meant 12,000 bit/s, for a 1,500 symbol/sec rate x 8-bit symbol width? 12,000 byte/sec? Who knows. I haven't got any reliable source material of my own... yet. Either would be perfectly sufficient for all but the very fastest (>2000cps) fixed-head line printers. However given that I've had speeds of nearly 1mbyte/sec out of my old ZipDisk when using the tip-top ECP (EPP?) bidirectional 8-bit modes (hijacking some of the status lines I think?), only slightly less than the ATAPI model and consistent with a 1.4mbyte/s link with a lot of switching overhead from its kludgy nature, they may be on to something. Just dreadfully confused! Also, the old Covox DAC sound device that plugged into it would give unusable audio quality at 1500 baud and barely tolerable (not much better than telephone) reproduction at 12000. I'd presume at least 19200 for it to be a realistic rival to Soundblaster (launched at 22050Hz) etc? Certainly no less than 14400~16384...) 193.63.174.11 (talk) 09:58, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Merge with Parallel port
In my opinion the LPT port and parallel port are synonyms. Moreover, the content in both articles is almost the same,

And I'd like to point out that we already have an article about Parallel communications for the general concept, that's another reason why I think that LPT and Parallel port articles should be merged. --Francisco Castro 14:02, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Parallel communications is not the same. For example the cpu and mem bus are parallel... Not sure about Merging or not LPT and Parallel Port, one is NOT the other, but maybe could be merged togeather. The person that would do that should be aware of the differences, know when its buffered or not, when every pin can be directly set or not ( for exmple is it a char device on Linux?) This is the reason all these USB to Parallel ports do not work for e.g., CNC but are ok for printers.(I am currently trying to find out whats the story, after having bought one of these myself...:S)217.5.158.82 (talk) 14:52, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Breakestra

Breakestra is a ten-piece funk "orchestra" from Los Angeles, California, formed by Miles Tackett in 1996.

Tackett, also known as "Musicman", records, composes, plays bass, upright cello, guitar, keyboards and drums. He also sings along with the other front man Mix Master Wolf. The style in which Breakestra plays live setting & on record is much influenced by late 1960s and early 1970s funk & soul-jazz music and the respective samples that were used in late 1980s/early 1990s hip hop as The Live Mix, Part 1 and The Live Mix, Part 2 show.

After releasing their first 7 inch single "Getcho Soul Togetha" (an original composition in fact) in 1999 on Stones Throw records and two full-length albums of mostly covers and sample-filled breaks, Breakestra put out Hit the Floor in 2005 on Ubiquity Records, which included all-original recordings fusing elements of hip hop, funk, and soul. Tackett put together another original full length, "Dusk Till Dawn" in late 2009 that featured guest rapper Chali 2na, the late DJ DUSK & soul vocalist Afrodyete "the African goddess of love". Tackett continues to bring different incarnations of Breakestra out on tour when not working on projects in his home studio.

Breakestra covered The Mohawks' "Champ" in 2005 on the in-game soundtrack for Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.

Thanks for the barnstar. Nice to see you're still alive. lol. School ended for me last week so I'll have the next three weeks to focus on season 2 and season 3 of Smallville. I finally got the companion books in the mail so I'll read those and then start working on the article. I've been working on a new cast structure for the main page (you can see that here).

 * Not to ruin your fun or anything, but when I was over on Bignole's discussion page, I noticed the Supe's barnstar, and it crossed my mind that the Superman logo used on the star might be an iffy use of a copyrighted logo - the only reason I say this is, I am disallowed from displaying a sports logo on my own user page due to copyright or free use something or other (I honestly don't quite understand how it all works yet), and it struck me that the supes logo, being property of DC is in the same boat. Point of this post, basically, is to inquire as to whether or not it is a legitimate use of the logo as per wikipedia's rules, and if it is, I was hoping you could explain the difference between this logo and another organization's logo. Thanks. Jaguitar (talk) 06:19, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Ka'apor Sign Language

Ka'apor Sign Language (also known as Urubu Sign Language or Urubu–Ka'apor Sign Language, although these are pejorative; Língua de sinais caapor brasileira) is a village sign language used by the small community of Ka'apor people in the Brazilian state of Maranhão. Linguist Jim Kakumasu observed in 1968 that the number of deaf people in the community was 7 out of a population of about 500. This relatively high ratio of deafness (1 in 75) led to both hearing and deaf members of the community using the language, and most hearing children grow up bilingual in the spoken and signed languages. The current state of the language is unknown. Other Indigenous tribes in the region have also been reported to use sign languages, and to communicate between themselves using sign language pidgins.

Notable features of Ka'apor Sign Language are its object–subject–verb word order, and its locating of the past in front of the signer and the future behind, in contrast to sign languages of European origin, including American Sign Language, Auslan and New Zealand Sign Language. This may represent a world view of the past as something visible, and the future as unknowable.

Kakumasu noted several features which sign language linguists today recognise as common to other sign languages, such as the use of name signs. Conditional and imperative grammatical moods are marked by non-manual features such as a widening of the eyes and tensing of facial muscles. Questions are marked with a question sign either before or after the clause, described as "a motion of the index finger towards the referent (addressee) with a slight wrist twist."

Ukmergė District Municipality

The Ukmergė District Municipality is a municipality in Vilnius County, Lithuania. The capital of the municipality is Ukmergė, the largest settlement and only city in the municipality. The entire municipality belongs to Aukštaitija ethnographic region.

Settlements
There are 10 towns in Ukmergė municipality: Deltuva, Lyduokiai, Pabaiskas, Siesikai, Šešuoliai, Taujėnai, Vepriai, Vidiškiai, Želva and Žemaitkiemis. Ukmergė municipality shares the second place in Lithuania (with Radviliškis District Municipality) according to the number of towns. There are 612 villages in the municipality, of which 234 are full parishes.

Vepriai is the most populous town in the municipality and is a local tourism (notably rural tourism) center. Siesikai is best known for the 16th century Renaissance Siesikai (Daumantai) Castle near Siesikai Lake. Deltuva has been the centre of the important Deltuva Land at the emergence of the centralised Lithuanian State. The ruins of one of the first Calvinist churches in Lithuania (17th century, Renaissance style) are near Deltuva. Pabaiskas was established near the location where the Battle of Wiłkomierz between the armies led by Žygimantas Kęstutaitis and Švitrigaila took place on 1 September 1435.

The first president of the independent Lithuanian state Antanas Smetona was born in Užulėnis, now Ukmergė District.

Geography
The eastern part of the municipality belongs to Aukštaitian Highlands and the north-western part is in Middle Lithuanian Lowlands.

Šventoji River is the largest river in the municipality and Širvinta River is the second. The other rivers are Siesartis, Mūša and Armona. Lake Lėnas is the largest lake (2.65 km²) and Lake Žirnajai is the deepest (average of 9.8 meters).

Woodlands cover about 29 percent of the district, swamps occupy 2.3 percent and 54.5 percent is an arable land.

Talk:La Belle Otero

A remembrance of "Madame Otero" appears in Colette's "My Apprenticeships", starting at pages 9-15 in the Farrar, Straus and Giroux American edition of 1978.--rchrd (talk) 02:59, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Not only that, but Colette's biographers Claude Francis and Fernande Gontier say that Otero had an affair with Colette, although Judith Thurman disputes this. It was certainly rumoured at the time. 92.40.12.123 (talk) 12:24, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Is the mention of her in Blixen's Out of Africa notable? --Klausok (talk) 05:56, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Yes. I think it's notable. One of Karen Blixen's acquaintances had squandered his fortune on Otero, years before, when he'd been a young man. Blixen asked him, "And do you consider that you got your money's worth?" After thinking it over, he replied that he did. He had no regrets. Younggoldchip (talk) 15:37, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Jackson C. Frank

Jackson Carey Frank (March 2, 1943 – March 3, 1999) was an American folk musician. He released his first and only album in 1965, produced by Paul Simon. After the release of the record, Frank was plagued by a series of personal issues, and was diagnosed with schizophrenia and protracted depression that prevented him from maintaining his career.

Frank spent his later life homeless and destitute, and died in 1999 from a combination of pneumonia and cardiac arrest. Though he only released one record, he has been cited as an influence by many singer-songwriters, including Paul Simon, Sandy Denny, Bert Jansch, and Nick Drake. Rolling Stone journalist David Fricke called Frank "one of the best forgotten songwriters of the 1960s."

Early life
Frank was born Jackson Carey Jones on March 2, 1943, in Buffalo, New York, the only child of Marilyn Rochefort Jones and Jack Jones, a test pilot. He later took on the surname of his stepfather, Elmer Frank, an army officer and food chemist. He was raised Christian, though became atheist in later life.

On March 31, 1954, when Frank was eleven years old, a furnace exploded at his school, Cleveland Hill Elementary School in Cheektowaga, New York. The fire killed fifteen of his fellow students, including Marlene du Pont, Frank's then girlfriend, about whom he would later write the song "Marlene", and whom he intended to name a second album after. Frank survived after escaping through a window, but had burns to over fifty percent of his body and had to stay in hospital for eight and a half months. His song "Yellow Walls" was written about his stay. The trauma from the burns also caused extensive damage to his parathyroid glands, resulting in an unregulated buildup of calcium in his body that led to extensive joint problems and caused a bent posture and pronounced limp that lasted the rest of his life.

During his hospital stay he was introduced to music when a teacher, Charlie Castelli, brought Frank an acoustic guitar to keep him occupied during the recovery. He was influenced greatly by Elvis Presley as a teenager. He once received a letter and autograph from Elvis, as well as a visit to all children injured in the fire from actor Kirk Douglas.

Due to Elvis' rising popularity, a meet-and-greet with children from Cleveland Hill was cancelled. However, in 1957, Frank traveled to Memphis, Tennessee with his mother and passed the singer's home in Graceland, coincidentially meeting Elvis' father Vernon by the front gate. When Frank's mother explained who he was, he was taken inside the house to meet his idol.

In high school, he developed interests in history and writing. While trying his hand at poetry and novel writing, he decided he wanted to become a news reporter. He worked on-and-off for The Buffalo News throughout his later teenage years. During this, his passion for music grew, and he began performing at local coffeehouses and art galleries. He often added comic relief to his performances, such as arguing with his microphone, in an attempt to hide his stage fright.

In 1961, he enrolled at Gettysburg College and began studying journalism. There he met fellow musicians Mark Anderson and Tim Parsons. Together they formed a folk band called the D'Juray Singers, a name Frank coined but with no particular meaning. The three performed both covers and original songs for the college's radio station.

After just a few months in further education, Frank's grades began to decline and he dropped out in spring of 1962. When he was 21, he received an insurance payout of $110,500 ($ today) for his injuries and spent the money carelessly. He quit his newspaper job, bought several cars and frequented clubs in Toronto with his friend John Kay. In February 1965, he made the decision to move to England with his girlfriend Kathy Henry, though they broke up shortly afterwards due to Frank's declining mental health.

Debut album
His eponymous 1965 album, Jackson C. Frank, was produced by Paul Simon while the two of them were living in England immersed in the burgeoning local folk scene. The album was recorded in six hours at Levy's Recording Studio, located at 103 New Bond Street in London. Frank was so shy during the recording that he asked to be shielded by screens so that Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, and Al Stewart could not see him, claiming: 'I can't play. You're looking at me.' The best-known track from the sessions, "Blues Run the Game", was covered by Simon and Garfunkel, and later by Wizz Jones, Counting Crows, John Mayer, Mark Lanegan, Colin Meloy, Bert Jansch, Eddi Reader, Laura Marling, and Robin Pecknold (as White Antelope), while Nick Drake also recorded it privately. The song was also heard in the 2018 film The Old Man & the Gun, while his song "Milk and Honey" was heard in the 2003 film The Brown Bunny. "Milk and Honey" was also covered by Fairport Convention, Nick Drake, and Sandy Denny, whom he dated for a while. During their relationship, Jackson played a part in convincing Sandy to give up her nursing profession to concentrate on music full time.

Although Frank was well received in England for a while, in 1966 things took a turn for the worse as his mental health began to unravel. Frank's mental health declined so noticeably and completely that in early 1966 he entered St. John's Hospital in Lincoln for an evaluation. At the same time he began to experience writer's block. As his insurance payment was on the verge of running out he decided to go back to the United States for two years. When he returned to England in 1968 he seemed a different person to his friends. His depression, stemming from the childhood trauma of the classroom fire, had grown worse, and he had completely lost whatever little self-confidence he once possessed. Al Stewart recalled:

"He [Frank] proceeded to fall apart before our very eyes. His style that everyone loved was melancholy, very tuneful things. He started doing things that were completely impenetrable. They were basically about psychological angst, played at full volume with lots of thrashing. I don't remember a single word of them – it just did not work. There was one review that said he belonged on a psychologist's couch. Then shortly after that, he hightailed it back to Woodstock again, because he wasn't getting any work."

Woodstock
While in Woodstock, he married Elaine Sedgwick, an English former fashion model and a cousin to Andy Warhol's protégé Edie Sedgwick. They opened a clothing shop together after Frank had another brief position with a newspaper. They had a son and later a daughter, Angeline. Their son was born with a rare lung condition and died the same day.

Possibly due to the death of his son, Frank's mental state began to spiral further. His relationship with Elaine became strained and eventually he began pursuing other women. It was by this time he'd begun to hear voices, believing them to be from "spiritual nudists," who inspired him to strip naked and run around the village. He was arrested a few times by the local police and was ultimately committed to a mental institution. His wife forbid him from returning home one day, and Angeline was raised until her teen years under the belief that her father was dead.

By the early 1970s, Frank began to beg aid from friends. He spent a while renting rooms and sleeping on couches. In 1971, a meeting was arranged with Art Garfunkel to share new material and potentially give him the rights to his unreleased song "Juliette." However, the disrespectful behaviour of Frank and the "hippie" friends he brought along made Garfunkel uncomfortable. He left the discussion early, never to return.

Frank then spent time playing for live broadcasts, as well as working an unpaid entertainment job for a local fair. During a particularly productive period, Frank managed to write multiple new songs as well as the opening of a potential book, which he'd named Society Doll. In 1975, Karl Dallas wrote an enthusiastic piece in the British weekly music newspaper Melody Maker, and in 1978, Frank's 1965 album was re-released as Jackson Again, with a new cover sleeve, although this did not in the end make his music much more popular outside of a small number of his fans.

As the medication given to him alleviated his paranoid symptoms, Frank made the decision to stop taking it. He soon began to run around naked again, sometimes wearing a cape and carrying a sword, naming himself after the Walter Scott character Lochinvar. He also began smoking marijuana. Once again, he ended up in a psychiatric hospital.

Later life and death
Frank lived with his parents in Elma, New York for a few years in the early 1980s. People in the neighborhood were wary of him due to his odd behaviour, such as walking aimlessly on the 55-mph country roads and sitting in ditches for hours to pick at grass. However, he was "cut a lot of slack" due to his involvement in the Cleveland Hill fire. In 1984, his mother, who had been in hospital for open-heart surgery, returned home to find Frank missing with no note or forwarding address. Frank had gone to New York City in a desperate bid to find Paul Simon, but ended up homeless and sleeping on the sidewalk. During this time he found himself in and out of various psychiatric institutions.

Frank was treated for paranoid schizophrenia, a diagnosis that was denied by Frank himself (he maintained that he had depression caused by the trauma he had experienced as a child). Just as Frank's prospects seemed to be at their worst, a fan from the Woodstock area, Jim Abbott, discovered him in the early 1990s. Abbott had been discussing music with Mark Anderson, a teacher at the local college he was attending. The conversation had turned to folk music, which they both enjoyed, when Abbott asked the teacher if he had heard of Frank. He recollected:

"I hadn't even thought about it for a couple of years, and he goes, 'Well yes. As a matter of fact, I just got a letter from him. Do you feel like helping a down-on-his-luck folk singer?'"

Frank, who had known Anderson from their days at Gettysburg College, had decided to write him to ask if there was anywhere in Woodstock he could stay after he had made up his mind to leave New York City. Abbott phoned Frank, and then organized a temporary placement for him at a senior citizens' home in Woodstock. Abbott was stunned by what he saw when he found Frank in New York:

"When I went down I hadn't seen a picture of him, except for his album cover. Then, he was thin and young. When I went to see him, there was this heavy guy hobbling down the street, and I thought, 'That can't possibly be him'...I just stopped and said 'Jackson?' and it was him. My impression was, 'Oh my God', it was almost like the elephant man or something. He was so unkempt, disheveled. He had nothing. It was really sad. We went and had lunch and went back to his room. It almost made me cry, because here was a fifty-year-old man, and all he had to his name was a beat-up old suitcase and a broken pair of glasses. I guess his caseworker had given him a $10 guitar, but it wouldn't stay in tune. It was one of those hot summer days. He tried to play 'Blues Run The Game' for me, but his voice was pretty much shot."

Soon after this, Frank found himself sitting on a bench in Queens while awaiting his move to Woodstock, when he was shot with a pellet gun and blinded through his left eye. At first the shooter could not be found, but it was later determined that local kids had been firing the pellet gun indiscriminately at people, and Frank happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Abbott then promptly helped him move to Woodstock Manor. During this time, Frank received a check from Broadcast Music, Inc. and began recording some demos of new songs. Frank's resurfacing led to the first CD release of his self-titled album. In later pressings, Frank's demos from the 1970s were included as a bonus disc with the album, and an anthology entitled Blues Run the Game contained all these tracks as well as his final demos made in the 1990s. In 2014 Forest of Eden, an album of Frank's unreleased demos, was released through London based record label Secret Records. The collection includes his unheard song "Forest of Eden", alongside 1950s demo recordings of "Heartbreak Hotel"; two Christmas songs, called "Santa Bring My Baby Back To Me" and "Precious Lord" (with a spoken word greeting to his grandparents); and three home-recorded demos of his original songs made prior to his 1965 album - "I Want To Be Alone", "Here Comes The Blues", and "You Never Wanted Me". The only available recordings of Frank yet to be officially released are songs made for the BBC Radio 1 show Nightride in 1968, but they only exist as poor quality off-air sources.

Frank was later removed from Woodstock Manor for repeatedly urinating out of the window. He lived with Abbott for a while, but in 1996 he narrowly avoided accidentally causing a house fire, so was moved to another psychiatric ward. After six months they could no longer keep him, and his family were in no fit state to look after him, so Abbott became his legal guardian.

Frank died in Timberlyn Heights, a nursing home in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, from a combination of pneumonia and cardiac arrest, on March 3, 1999, the day after his 56th birthday.

Legacy
Though he never achieved fame during his lifetime, his songs have been covered by many well-known artists, including Simon and Garfunkel, John Mayer, Counting Crows, Nick Drake, Sandy Denny, Julie Felix, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Laura Marling, Chromatics, and Robin Pecknold. Nick Drake covered 4 songs from Frank's debut album; "Here Come the Blues", "Blues Run the Game", "Milk & Honey", and "Kimbie". These are found on Drake's posthumous release, Family Tree. Frank's song "I Want To Be Alone", also known as "Dialogue," appeared on the soundtrack for the film Daft Punk's Electroma. Soulsavers covered "Blues Run the Game" on their single "Revival" (7" vinyl, April 30, 2007). Marianne Faithfull covered Frank's arrangement of the traditional song "Kimbie" on her 2008 album Easy Come, Easy Go and included the song in the repertoire of her 2009 tour. Erland & The Carnival covered "My Name Is Carnival," apparently Frank's favourite song. Bert Jansch also covered this song as a gesture to Frank.

Sandy Denny covered "You Never Wanted Me" and "Milk and Honey" on the album It's Sandy Denny released by Saga Eros in 1970. Her song, "Next Time Around," contains coded references to Frank, her ex-boyfriend. "Marcy's Song" is played by Patrick, John Hawkes' character, in the 2011 film Martha Marcy May Marlene, and "Marlene" plays in the closing credits. Laura Barton's BBC Radio 4 programme Blues Run the Game, first broadcast November 20, 2012, included interviews with Al Stewart, John Renbourn, Jim Abbott and John Kay as well as archive material of Jackson C. Frank talking and singing.

South Korean jazz singer Na Yoon-sun covered "My Name Is Carnival" on her 2010 album Same Girl. "Milk and Honey" was sampled by Hidden Orchestra in their track "The Burning Circle" and by Hip Hop artist Nas in his track "Undying Love". French singer and Kora player Stranded Horse (Yann Tambour) covered "My Name Is Carnival" on his 2016 album Luxe.

Alt-country band Son Volt covered "Yellow Walls" in 2017. A previously lost song from his 1968 period called "Golden Mirror" was uploaded to YouTube in late 2017. "Blues Run the Game" is featured in the 2018 film The Old Man & the Gun. Colin Meloy performed "Blues Run The Game" in the 2013 musical/documentary Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating the music of "Inside Llewyn Davis" and in 2017 Brazilian film "Araby". "Horseshoe Crabs," a song on Hop Along's 2015 album Painted Shut, was inspired by the events of Frank's later life. "Just Like Anything" was covered by Malcolm Middleton (Arab Strap) on his 2008 album Sleight Of Heart. The electronic music band Chromatics covered "I Want To Be Alone" in 2019.

David Balfe's project For Those I Love samples the main hook from "Cryin' like baby" on the eponymous debut album's final track Leave Me Not Love. The album's themes concentrate on youth, friendship and grief, using the lyrical sample to convey the artist's feelings upon learning of the death of his best friend. Joshua Lee Turner covered "Blues Run The Game" on his YouTube channel in late 2018.

Orthovoltage radiotherapy
"Radiation therapy — Electron beam radiation can be used but often not go deep enough to affect internal organs. Orthovoltage radiation is more penetrating and slightly more effective. There have not been any reports of this causing any form of cancer in many years of use, but it is very expensive. Radiation treatments may reduce scar formation if they are used soon after a surgery, during the time a surgical wound is healing."

Confusion about electron and orthovoltage treatments. Electrons generally much more penetrating than orthovoltage, but need skin bolus to be effective. Suggest cutting the first two sentences altogether. It is incorrect to state that orthovoltage RT is very expensive- probably the quickest and easiest of any radiotherapy treatments.Jellytussle 23:57, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

i'm going to likely replace the picture at the top of the page, mainly because where it says "acne." That is actually a sebaceous cyst. i know it's awfully nitpicky, but this is an encyclopedia, accuracy should be a priority. Dreamer.redeemer 22:30, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Ethnic dimension
Why is no one mentioning that keloids are known to be much more prevalent in those of African descent?

 * My fault. Some actually did mention the ethnic dimension.  Feel free to either delete my edit to the article (i.e., "Incidence") or merge it with what was already there.

-Actually, whoever wrote up the former racial classifications of keloid incidences is a little confused with the differences between racial background and skin color. Not all Asians and Africans are dark skinned. You can be Asian or African and have a light complexion (Zhang Ziyi and Rosa Parks are two famous examples of light skinned Asians and Africans: these two celebrity personalities are in fact just as or even lighter skinned than many people of European descent). The images provided in the picture are of people who are extremely light skinned as well. Since the images are authentic, Keloid skin must affect individuals regardless of their skin color- it's a gene that increases the incidence. The argument that geographical ethnic origin could play a part in keloid skin is valid, but I'd prefer to see a more culturally aware understanding of it.

 * Clarification please: A sentence in the current revision is "It is speculated that people who possess any degree of African descent, regardless of skin color, may be especially susceptible to keloid occurrences." According to Mitochondrial Eve, a common ancestor of all humans comes from Eastern Sub-Saharan Africa. As such, all humans are of African descent and the quoted sentence makes little sense. Migration patters are available at Recent single-origin hypothesis samwaltz 17:49, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Apologies for the anonymous edit I find the phrase "There is a fifteen times higher frequency of occurrence in highly pigmented people" bizarre in the extreme, true though it may be. It should have a citation at least, and a clarification of language would be better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.73.22.245 (talk) 07:45, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Flesh-colored
The article indicates that keloids can be "pink to flesh-colored or red to dark brown". What color of flesh is meant? Pburka 02:32, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

 * It isn't clear from that description, but keloids are generally as dark or darker than the natural skin tone. (As opposed to other kinds of scarring or non-infected swellings, which are often paler). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trxi (talk • contribs) 12:09, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Probably the color of flesh belonging to that person. It makes enough sense to me. estrieluv 19:28, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

"Natural" treatments?
I'm no expert, but I do not believe that applying a warm rag (or teabag) to a keloid for five minutes would produce any effect. If it did, no one would have keloids anymore. The "tea tree oil" sentence is also suspect in my view. 71.141.232.252 00:53, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Plus, the way its worded is unencyclopedic. Makes it sound like an instruction manual. 203.5.70.1 02:35, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm removing of those. It's due to the common mis-naming of excessive swelling around piercing sites as "keloids" by ignorant piercers, when most of the time it's hypertrophic scarring. Trxi (talk) 12:02, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm wary of the repeat mentions of ScarAway, which makes parts of the article seem like an advertisement for this product, especially without appropriate literature backing the claims of its efficacy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.124.84.18 (talk) 18:10, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Yes, and surely ScarAway is doing something other than applying it's brand name - unless the name works as a placebo. 118.208.203.220 (talk) 02:02, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

I would propose the removal of all of the treatment section except for the claims that are backed up with references. It has clearly been hijacked by someone selling silicone sheets - almost every description of a treatment has been appended with a claim that it is inferior to silicone sheeting, or that it should be used with silicone sheeting.

From my personal experience I have found benefit from meat tenderizer. I make a paste with water, apply it to the skin, then cover it with a Band-Aid and let stay there for a day.

The article says "The mechanism of how exactly pressure therapy works is unknown at present, but many patients with keloid scars and lesions have benefited from it.[5]" we discussed this in a biomedical class that the mechanism is simply influences by increasing the temperature, which increases the effects of collagenase on scar tissue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.216.255.20 (talk) 17:49, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

"Not for the squeamish"?
This title doesn't seem very professional to me (a little Goosebumps-esque). Does anyone have any ideas for how it should be re-written? I can't think of any way to phrase it without it sounding rather silly, although I do acknowledge the need for such a warning.

There is a newly FDA approved treament that involves 'intralesional cryosurgery'. as opposed to topical treaments, this treatment freezes the keloid from the inside out, with very good results and little or no pigment disturbance. Here is a brief video:

Any ideas? Well Drawn   Charli  e  22:08, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

hypertrophic or not?
The first sentence of the article says that a keloid is a type of hypertrophic scar, then later in the same paragraph it says it should not be confused with a hypertrophic scar. It can't be both. Which is it? 75.82.133.73 (talk) 22:31, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

A keloid is NOT the same as a hypertrophic scar.

The difference between a hypertrophic scar and keloid is that the keloid may be bigger than the primarily affected area. It is thereby not the same. My source is the german "Pschyrembel, edition 260". 89.14.201.147 (talk) 18:56, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Keloids caused by thermal radiation due to extremely exothermic weaponry
Is this an U.S. American article? ;) One would think it is (though I'm foreign) because there is not ANY word about keloids caused by the thousands of degrees of heat emitted by radioactive sources, such as ... nuclear attacks!! Oh yes. Namely the Hiroshima Maidens come to mind here. See also [] -andy 77.7.117.26 (talk) 15:07, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Article Image
The image at the top of the article seems excessive. I understand (and agree with) wikipedia's policy of not censoring itself based on subjective ideas of "gross" or "obscene", but that image is a disconcerting one that does not seem to effectively illustrate the subject. A less extreme example of keloid scarring would be more helpful for showing what a keloid scar typically is, and would also make it easier on squeamish people; points which are both strengthened by the fact that it's at the top of the article. Maybe it should be moved further down, and replaced with one that better illustrates keloid scarring? Unless I'm mistaken about keloid scars. Are they always huge and disgusting like that? The2crowrox (talk) 05:19, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

 * I agree. I didn't quite loose my lunch - but then I don't really have that oh-so-pleasant sounding reaction of visually-induced-gastric-emptying.

 * I'd also say that a picture on Wikipedia should aim to reflect the most common form in a case where there is a great variation, such as with scarring. (I'm sure there's some editorial policy that has a name that's overly-lawyerly-sounding-but-undertandable..  That I don't know of.) This is along the lines of the question are they always huge and disgusting.  That is a reasonable question - maybe for someone who got burned and is wondering whether they should go to the trouble of finding a doctor who can design a named-patient protocol of various skin-cell-differentiation factors..

 * Anyway, the most common type of keloid scar that I'd think would be encountered (though I'm not a ER trauma person..) would be the the type of small scar that forms over a burn or deep cut. (like mine, that was a stupid but small table-saw accident - about an inch long by 1/8-1/4 inch wide, but not "vertically hypertrophic" or even really "stiff" at all - though I'm not even sure that's really a keloid.)

Internal Keloids
Keloids can also form inside the body. After spinal surgery, a Keloid can form around the nerve roots, leading to "failed back surgery" syndrome. The Keloid can continue to grow for as long as 18 months post-operatively. In some cases, the scar tissue is so dense that the nerve roots can no longer be observed in an MRI. The resulting scar tissue interferes with the free movement of the nerve exiting the spine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.117.33.114 (talk) 18:39, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Intentional Keloids
This entire section is unsourced - no inline citations and nothing in the references that seems to back up the claims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.99.105.18 (talk) 14:35, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Indeed, it looks like these people are intentionally giving themselves scars, but no one has any say over whether their body's scars will become keloids or not. This whole section should probably be removed. Zoeb (talk) 21:34, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Merge discussion
I propose Keloid removal be merged into this article. I don't see how a separate article is justified at this point.--Taylornate (talk) 03:25, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Too many pictures
While I understand the need for visual aids when describing a condition I don’t think it’s very encyclopedic to include 24 pictures of keloids that I presume someone though looked interesting. It’s also annoying to scroll through on mobile. 2601:589:4D80:C3E0:C5F:BDC3:ED99:7886 (talk) 07:34, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Genetics
This entire section smacks of racism and regionalism. You single out people of color by profiling. So a person of Arabic or Spanish heritage who is from Sicily will NOT get Keloids because he/she is of European American nationality? Your process is unacceptable, not only for Wikipedia, but for EVERY modern category and standard. Get this section re-written. 2600:1702:1720:D80:F5CD:2679:61DC:AF35 (talk) 19:56, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Either Oregon
Band fails WP:MUSIC criteria. As stated in the article, it was created "mid to late 2005." And yields no Google results. — Kjammer ⌂  04:53, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete failing criteria on WP:MUSIC -- ( ☺ drini ♫ | ☎ ) 06:10, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

"Please see www.myspace.com/eitheroregon for web results and verification as to the existence of this band. As it is now October, the time frame of 'mid to late 2005' is still applicable, referring most specifically to the months of August and September.

Just because an article is about something new doesn't mean it should be ignored or removed! While this band has yet to exceed your wp:music criteria, shouldn't there be some time given to allow them to carve out their own notability before outright rejecting them from Wikipedia? As the article states, they are merely a few months old at best. Is newness an automatic prejudice of worthlessness?

Should not Wikipedia contain articles which document the emergence of an event, pheonomena, cultural idea, or, in this case, a group of musicians attempting to cut through a slew of cheap commercializm to create -- not for itself but for its principles, aesthetic and ideals -- an element of notibility in a field which, at its heart, shares nothing with the instances of corporatized vagary which meet your wp: music standards?

-- posted and edited by the anonymous creator of the article, who did not know at the time that registering his email address with Wikipedia would automatically elevate him to a higher class, but is nevertheless attempting to break through that ceiling by reputably and honorably posting his thoughts regarding the deletion of said article."

 * Delete. The Myspace web site reveals almost nothing about the band except that they have one concert scheduled in their hometown next month. The band has all the time it needs to carve out its own notability and then have an article about them accepted into Wikipedia, whether they need one month, one year, or ten years to meet the WP:MUSIC criteria -- the article can be created at that time once there is evidence they are notable; they are not being rejected permanently, just for now since they are not notable yet.  A musical artist can qualify under the WP:MUSIC criteria without necessarily succumbing to commercialism.  Finally, comments such as "Either Oregon is a musical group that originated in Portland sometime in mid to late 2005, though the exact date and location is a much debated topic in some intellectual circles.  The exact lineup is unknown ...." (emphasis added) may be intended to create an aura of mystery, but they mostly make it look like the group is unverifiable and that the writer of the article doesn't know much about the topic. --Metropolitan90 06:34, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry dude, Wikipedia is a reference for things already notable, and while plenty of people agree with your arguement, more people do not. We go over this with pretty much every band on the site. Delete until they become notable, at which point I would hope they aren't too bitter to recreate their page. --CastAStone 06:44, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Comma in the names of Institutes
The names of the Indian Institutes of Management do not contain a comma. Please do not edit the pages and insert commas in the names.
 * I researched the above statement a little bit and this is the best response so far from my classmate at IIM Lucknow.

Is it Infosys Banagalore & Infosys Chennai or Infosys, Banagalore & Infosys, Chennai? ''The IIM is estd by the govt of India and each location gets its management and freedom to operate within a certain guidelines. But each location is an IIM. If you look at the official address, it says:'' ''IIM, Prabandh Nagar, Off. Sitapur Road,'' Lucknow-226 013. ''Therefore, the name is IIM & you are free to put or not put commas when you add the location name to identify the excact institute. The rules of English grammar tend to agree with Mr.Dole and say that you should put a comma.''

I think the comma should return. doles 13:55, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Craig Leathers

Craig Leathers is a wrestling director and producer best known working for World Championship Wrestling's telecasts. He worked with Eric Bischoff for many years during the mid to late 1990s. In 1995, Leathers was hired as television director for Ted Turner's WCW Monday Nitro, and later became executive producer of the show.

Biography
Nitro brought an intense rivalry between WCW's Monday night program and the World Wrestling Federation's Monday Night Raw program. This rivalry is known as the "Monday Night War." Directed by Leathers and produced by Eric Bischoff, WCW Nitro started surpassing Raw in the television ratings, and held the highest ratings in cable for 83 consecutive weeks. Bischoff, along with Leathers, Annette Yother, Kevin Sullivan, and Terry Taylor wrote the majority of the storylines and content for Nitro and WCW pay-per-views.

Bischoff and Leathers came up with the idea that many commercial breaks should be taken during live matches. While some fans at the time found it distressing, this gave the matches an unpredictable feeling to the show. Many times Nitro would go overtime when ratings were high, sometimes even up to 15 minutes past their scheduled timeslot on TNT.

A few interesting shots from the 1995-1998 Nitro telecast include: a stationary camera (with surrounding crowd) high in the rafters giving a wide panning view of the arena - a JIB camera framed on props and pieces of equipment on the set that would boom or whip pan onto the entranceway - and various Steadicam shots following wrestlers to the ring. With the JIB and Steadicam both having wide-angle lenses and in close proximity on the set, there was a high risk of one camera capturing another. Depending on the position of the JIB, Leathers would sometimes have the Steadicam frame a shot on the ground. When cross dissolved to the Steadicam, the operator would tilt up and quickly move towards the subject. This would prove to be a stylish wipe sequence between both cameras, and in effect gave the JIB more time to swing out of view.

When Bischoff was removed from power in September 1999, Leathers would continue to direct the show for the remainder of the year, but with creative restrictions put upon him. With new management in charge, they wanted to change WCW's format to resemble WWF (now, WWE)'s style of broadcast. Changes in production included tinkering of camera angles, such as the removal of the Steadicam from the entranceway to be replaced by a standard hand held camera zoomed in from ringside. Although that change in angle may not have been as visually pleasing to some, the new management did so to better emulate the look and feel of WWF (now, WWE)'s Monday Night program.

On the February 19, 2001 Nitro broadcast, Leathers resumed position of television director around the time Bischoff regained some control of the company. With WCW up for sale, Bischoff and his investors' deal to purchase the company failed when Turner executives canceled WCW's timeslots. Eventually, WWF(now, WWE) would go on to purchase several assets of WCW in late March 2001, forcing many employees, including Leathers, to be laid off.

During a shoot interview on Steve Austin's podcast, Kevin Nash credits Leathers with developing the NWO logo.

World Wrestling Legends
In 2006, Leathers produced World Wrestling Legends, a tribute to the WCW Saturday Night program that included well-known wrestlers and a few original crew members from the show.

EIA-530

Currently known as TIA-530-A, but often called EIA-530, or RS-530, is a balanced serial interface standard that generally uses a 25-pin connector, originally created by the Telecommunications Industry Association.

Finalized in 1987 (revision A finalized in 1992 ), the specification defines the cable between the DTE and DCE devices. It is to be used in conjunction with EIA-422 and EIA-423, which define the electrical signaling characteristics. Because TIA-530 calls for the more common 25 pin connector, it displaced the similar EIA-449, which also uses EIA-422/423, but a larger 37-pin connector.

Two types of interchange circuits ("signals" or "leads") between the DCE and DTE are defined in TIA-530: Category I, which uses the balanced characteristics of EIA-422, and Category II, which is the unbalanced EIA-423. Most of the interchange circuits are Category I, with the exception of Local Loopback (pin 18), Remote Loopback (pin 21), and Test Mode (pin 25) being Category II.

TIA-530 originally used Category I circuits for what is commonly called "Data Set Ready" (DCE Ready, pins 6 and 22) and "Data Terminal Ready" (DTE Ready, pins 20 and 23). Revision A changed these interchange circuits to Category II (para 4.3.6 and 4.3.7 of the standard ) and added a "Ring Indicator" on pin 22. Pin 23 is grounded in TIA-530-A.

Confusion between the revisions has led to many incorrect wiring diagrams of this interface and most manufacturers still adhere to the original TIA-530 standard. Care should be taken to ensure devices are of the same standard before connecting to avoid complications.

Make note that the diagram shows pin 24 being "B" when it is actually "A".

Mario Encarnación

Mario González Encarnación (September 24, 1975 – October 3, 2005) was a Dominican baseball outfielder. He played for the Colorado Rockies and Chicago Cubs for a brief duration—23 games in 2001 and 2002.

Early life
Encarnación grew up in Baní where he was friends with Miguel Tejada. Encarnación dropped out of school at 15 years old to focus on baseball. In 1994, he signed a contract with the Oakland Athletics at the purported age of 16. Before traveling to the United States to play in Oakland's farm system, Encarnación borrowed and read psychology textbooks so that he could learn "how to talk to gringos." He also bought his mother her first telephone.

Minor League Baseball
Encarnación was assigned to the West Michigan Whitecaps of the Midwest League to begin his professional career in 1996. In 1999, he won the Triple-A World Series with the Vancouver Canadians. By that December, he was described in the Los Angeles Times as Oakland's "best position-player prospect." He was so highly regarded by the Athletics that they declined a trade for All-Star outfielder Jim Edmonds in December 1999 reportedly because it would have required them to part with Encarnación. Prior to the 2000 season, Baseball America ranked him the 90th-best prospect in baseball and the best position player prospect in the Oakland system. Shortly before the trade deadline in 2001, the Athletics traded Encarnación to the Colorado Rockies in a three-team deal that netted them Jermaine Dye from the Kansas City Royals.

Major League Baseball
On August 26, 2001, the Rockies added Encarnación to their Major League roster for the first time following an injury to outfielder Mark Little. He made his debut that afternoon against the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park. Though hitless in his debut, he walked in his first plate appearance against Rubén Quevedo and later walked and stole a base against Chad Fox and Henry Blanco. He would be a regular in Colorado's outfield for the remainder of the season alongside Juan Pierre and future Baseball Hall of Famer Larry Walker.

Encarnación entered spring training with the Rockies in 2002. During camp, amidst increased scrutiny from the Immigration and Naturalization Service following the September 11 attacks, it was discovered that Encarnación was actually two years older than he had represented. His listed age increased from 24 to 26 years old.

On April 4, 2002, the Chicago Cubs claimed Encarnación off waivers from the Rockies and designated Julio Zuleta for assignment. The following day, they added him to their active roster when outfielder Moisés Alou was placed on the disabled list. He would appear in only three games for the Cubs before, on April 15, Alou returned from the disabled list and Encarnación was designated for assignment. He would not return to the Major Leagues again in his career. He spent the remainder of the season in Triple-A with the Iowa Cubs.

In January 2003, Encarnación signed with the Montreal Expos. In May 2003, the St. Louis Cardinals traded a player to be named later to the Montreal Expos for Encarnación and assigned him to the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds. They released him later that month.

KBO League
Encarnación finished the 2003 season with the Lotte Giants of the KBO League, beginning a career in Asian professional baseball. He was paired in the outfield with Venezuelan player Robert Perez under KBO rules which only allowed two foreign players per team to play at any one time. Although the Giants would win 39 games and lose 91, he would lead them in both home runs and runs batted in. Encarnación returned to the Giants in 2004, albeit for only four games.

Chinese Professional Baseball League
Encarnación traveled to Taiwan to play for the Macoto Cobras of the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) in the 2005 season. He was a CPBL All-Star and helped lead the team to a first half title.

Death
On October 3, he was found dead in his team dormitory room by a team employee after he missed a practice. There were no signs of forced entry in his room. He was survived by his wife, Rosana, and son, Mario. He was the first former Major League Baseball player to have died in Taiwan.

Earlier in the season, he was briefly suspended for testing positive for steroids, leading to speculation regarding the role of drugs in his death. It had also been reported that he had been suffering from a bout of gastroenteritis and had asked to be excused from that weekend's practices. Autopsy reports later showed that he had died from a congenital medical condition. According to his father, however, the doctors at the Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo who conducted the autopsy variously told him that the body was too decomposed to determine a cause of death and that he had died of a heart attack. Speculation abounded in the Dominican Republic that his death may have been related to a match-fixing operation, something for which the Chinese Professional Baseball League was known. His family called on the Dominican government to conduct an inquiry into his death but, according to his father, "they didn't do anything."

Encarnacion's body was transported back to the Dominican Republic from Taiwan by his team, while Miguel Tejada paid for his headstone at a cemetery in Baní.

Legacy
In 2006, the Sacramento River Cats and Sacramento Bee writer Marcos Breton established the Mario Encarnacion Humanitarian Award which is given annually to "athletes who inspire others through their story, lead by example, and are role models to others."

Punishment of the Shiites
Someone should write about how the Shiites led the rebellion against the British in the 1920's and how the Sunni's were put into power by the British in order to punish the Shiites. The result was the oppression of the Shiites for about 80 years which ended with the US invasion in 2003.

Gordonia (youth movement)

Gordonia (גורדוניה) was a Zionist youth movement. The movement's doctrines were based on the beliefs of Aaron David Gordon, i.e. the redemption of Eretz Yisrael and the Jewish People through manual labor and the revival of the Hebrew language. In Gordonia the cadets learned Hebrew and the graduates organized themselves into training groups pending aliyah to the Holy Land.

History
Founded in 1925 in Poland, the movement promoted aliyah to kibbutzim in Mandate Palestine during the inter-war period. These pioneering initiatives were crucial in the development of the kibbutz movement in Palestine and the state of Israel as a whole.

Being established after many of the other socialist Zionist movements, Gordonia, in its early years struggled existentially. Emerging from ideological crisis, Gordonia was seen as a reaction against what was perceived as the "fatal errors" of movements such as the Hashomer Hatzair, whom they viewed as adopting ‘foreign ideals’ (e.g. Marxism), which threatened to divert attention from the important historical pioneering task. Gordonia saw itself as the pioneering youth movement of the Jewish masses – rejecting theoretical ideals of socialism and romanticism in favour of practical pioneering as embodied in Gordon himself. The principal distinction between Gordonia and the other movements was its decision not to engage in political activities, in alignment with the philosophies of their figurehead.

The United States branch of Gordonia was small and largely based in the Washington D.C.-Baltimore and Dallas areas, with only one summer camp, Moshava, near Annapolis. The group merged with the Labor Zionist youth movement Habonim Dror in April 1938.

NGC 17

NGC 17, also known as NGC 34, is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It is the result of a merger between two disk galaxies, resulting in a recent starburst in the central regions and continuing starforming activity. The galaxy is still gas-rich, and has a single galactic nucleus. It lies 250 million light years away. It was discovered in 1886 by Frank Muller and then observed again later that year by Lewis Swift.

Due to the major merger event NGC 17 has no defined spiral arms like the Milky Way galaxy. Unlike the Milky Way, the center bar nucleus is also distorted. The merger destroyed any galactic habitable zone that may have been there before the merger. For the Milky Way, the galactic habitable zone is commonly believed to be an annulus with an outer radius of about 10 kiloparsecs and an inner radius close to the Galactic Center, both of which lack hard boundaries.

Number in the New General Catalogue
NGC 17 and NGC 34 were catalogued by Frank Muller and Lewis Swift, respectively, in 1886. A difference of half a degree in positioning between the two men's observations meant that when John Dreyer created the New General Catalogue he listed them as separate objects. In 1900 Herbert Howe noticed the discrepancy; Dreyer included the update in the second edition of the NGC in 1910.
