Talk:Metal clay

Merge
Articles refer to "Precious Metal Clay'; the only forms common are gold and silver; recommend merge.Bridesmill 16:25, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Redirected based on no negative comment (actiually, no comment at all) Bridesmill 20:02, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * No merge, having the article at one particular brand name is POV, it needs to stay at the generic. pschemp | talk 03:04, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but that makes no sense. the material only comes in Precious Metals, there is no 'copper clay' for instance. And one is had-pressed to find it referred to in North america as anything except Precious Metal Clay. Plus when the question was posed 2 weeks ago, nobody seemed to have any complaints.Bridesmill 01:41, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah no, Rings and Things in Seattle carries ACS and has for years. It isn't even close to not referred to, it just depends what brand you are used to using. Just because you didn't know about it doesn't mean it isn't true. A simple Google serach would have told you where to get ACS. Not to mention this is the English wiki, but should not be centered on North America. As for the time, some of us are busy and it takes a while to keep an eye on all 2,500 articles I watch, so cut us some slack. Wikipedia is not an advertising service, and our policies state that. Thus we should not favor one brand over the other, as that promotes a certain point of view and works as advertising. If you aren't familiar with the way we do things here, I suggest you read out editing polices. pschemp | talk 05:52, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I see from the other talk page you don't understand that PMC is a trademarked brand name, as is ACS. Read the package please, that is why the article can reside at neither of these names. pschemp | talk 06:03, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Why not. Your capitalization says it all. Also from the article: There are two popular brands of this material, Art Clay Silver (ACS) and Precious Metal Clay (PMC). As for two weeks ago - don't think I was even aware of the article then. Vsmith 02:04, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I have added a source for Introduction to Precious Metal Clay which, other than confirm the products source as the Mitsubishi Corporation, also shows how to use the clay, but I cannot seem to find a similar reference for ACS. So the intention in not to promote one product over another.  Could you please be so kind to advise if this is a problem since both clays are very similar in how they are treated from a artisans point of view? Ms730111 (talk) 18:11, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I have found what appears to be a similar book for ACS called "Art Clay Silver Basic", but I do not own the book and can therefore not verify that it contains the same information. I can also not find an ISBN number for it. Can someone assist in order to make the article as complete as possible.  Ms730111 (talk) 19:03, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Update to subject - Edit request
Request edit I have a conflict of interest (Metal Adventures Inc. is a small company with three part-time employees and I’m the CEO), so am suggesting the following edit and references:

Please replace “Lump metal clay is also available in bronze and copper.” with the following:

Lump metal clay in bronze was introduced in 2008 by Metal Adventures Inc. and in 2009 by Prometheus. Lump metal clays in copper were introduced in 2009 by Metal Adventures Inc., and Aida. Due to the lower cost, the bronze and copper metal clays are currently used by more artists[3] than the gold and silver metal clays.

Base metal clays, such as bronze, copper, and steel metal clays are best fired in the absence of oxygen to eliminate the oxidation of copper by atmospheric oxygen. A simple means to accomplish this (place the pieces in activated carbon inside a container) was developed by Bill Struve[4].

Advertisement and review tags
An otherwise inactive IP recently added both these tags. Although ignorant about the topic, I don't see the justification for either. Materialscientist came along after the tags and toned down some of the overly enthusiastic rhetoric in the article, and in his edit summary he said the article was "still overly promotional", but although I think MS's edits were an improvement, that relates to style, not to real promotion or advertsing. If it weren't for that one comment in the edit summary, I would simply remove the tags as unjustified, but I am instead conservatively beginning this discussion to see what others think and why.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:42, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It is better now, and the main issue is notability - the article is poorly referenced, and redlinked statements like Mr. this and that invented this might be treated as an advert - many of the described clays don't seem very common on Google. Materialscientist (talk) 13:50, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Single-minute exchange of die

Single-minute digit exchange of die (SMED) is one of the many lean production methods for reducing inefficiencies in a manufacturing process. It provides a rapid and efficient way of converting a manufacturing process from running the current product to running the next product. This is key to reducing production lot sizes, and reducing uneven flow (Mura), production loss, and output variability.

The phrase "single minute" does not mean that all changeovers and startups should only take one minute, rather, it should take less than 10 minutes ("single-digit minute"). A closely associated yet more difficult concept is one-touch exchange of die (OTED), which says changeovers can and should take less than 100 seconds. A die is a tool used in manufacturing. However, SMED's utility is not limited to manufacturing (see value stream mapping).

History
Frederick Winslow Taylor analyzed non-value-adding parts of setups in his 1911 book, Shop Management (page 171). However, he did not create any method or structured approach around it.

Frank Bunker Gilbreth studied and improved working processes in many different industries, from bricklaying to surgery. As part of his work, he also looked into changeovers. His book Motion Study (also from 1911) described approaches to reduce setup time.

Even Henry Ford's factories were using some setup reduction techniques. In the 1915 publication Ford Methods and Ford Shops, setup reduction approaches were clearly described. However, these approaches never became mainstream. For most parts during the 20th century, the economic order quantity was the gold standard for lot sizing.

The JIT workflow of Toyota had a problem of tool changeover taking between two and eight hours. Setup time and lot reduction had been ongoing in Toyota's production system since 1945 when Taiichi Ohno became manager of the machine shops at Toyota. On a trip to the US in 1955, Ohno observed Danly stamping presses with rapid die change capability. Subsequently, Toyota bought multiple Danly presses for the Motomachi plant and started improving the changeover time of their presses. This was known as Quick Die Change, or QDC for short. They developed a structured approach based on a framework from the US World War II Training within Industry (TWI) program, called ECRS – Eliminate, Combine, Rearrange, and Simplify.

Over time, Toyota decreased changeover times from hours to fifteen minutes by the 1960s, three minutes by the 1970s, and ultimately just 180 seconds by the 1990s.

During the late 1970s, when Toyota's method was already well refined, Shigeo Shingo participated in one QDC workshop. After he started to publicize details of the Toyota Production System without permission, the business connection was terminated abruptly by Toyota. Shingo moved to the US and started to consult on lean manufacturing. Besides claiming to have invented this quick changeover method (among many other things), he renamed it Single Minute Exchange of Die or, in short, SMED. The Single Minute stands for a single digit minute (i.e., less than ten minutes). He promoted TPS and SMED in US.

Example
Toyota found that the most difficult tools to change were the dies on the large transfer-stamping machines that produce car vehicle body parts. The dies – which must be changed for each model – weigh many tons, and must be assembled in the stamping machines with tolerances of less than a millimeter, otherwise the stamped metal will wrinkle, if not melt, under the intense heat and pressure.

When Toyota engineers examined the change-over, they discovered that the established procedure was to stop the line, let down the dies by an overhead crane, position the dies in the machine by human eyesight, and then adjust their position with crowbars while making individual test stampings. The existing process took from twelve hours to almost three days to complete.

Toyota's first improvement was to place precision measurement devices on the transfer stamping machines, and record the necessary measurements for each model's die. Installing the die against these measurements, rather than by human eyesight, immediately cut the change-over to a mere hour and a half.

Further observations led to further improvements – scheduling the die changes in a standard sequence (as part of FRS) as a new model moved through the factory, dedicating tools to the die-change process so that all needed tools were nearby, and scheduling use of the overhead cranes so that the new die would be waiting as the old die was removed. Using these processes, Toyota engineers cut the change-over time to less than 10 minutes per die, and thereby reduced the economic lot size below one vehicle.

The success of this program contributed directly to just-in-time manufacturing which is part of the Toyota Production System. SMED makes load balancing much more achievable by reducing economic lot size and thus stock levels.

Effects of implementation
Shigeo Shingo, who created the SMED approach, claims that in his data from between 1975 and 1985 that average setup times he has dealt with have reduced to 2.5% of the time originally required; a 40 times improvement.

However, the power of SMED is that it has a lot of other effects which come from systematically looking at operations; these include:

 * Stockless production which drives inventory turnover rates,
 * Reduction in footprint of processes with reduced inventory freeing floor space
 * Productivity increases or reduced production time
 * Increased machine work rates from reduced setup times even if number of changeovers increases
 * Elimination of setup errors and elimination of trial runs reduces defect rates
 * Improved quality from fully regulated operating conditions in advance
 * Increased safety from simpler setups
 * Simplified housekeeping from fewer tools and better organization
 * Lower expense of setups
 * Operator preferred since easier to achieve
 * Lower skill requirements since changes are now designed into the process rather than a matter of skilled judgement
 * Elimination of unusable stock from model changeovers and demand estimate errors
 * Goods are not lost through deterioration
 * Ability to mix production gives flexibility and further inventory reductions as well as opening the door to revolutionized production methods (large orders ≠ large production lot sizes)
 * New attitudes on controllability of work process amongst staff

Implementation techniques
Shigeo Shingo recognizes eight fundamental techniques that should be considered in implementing SMED.

NB External setup can be done without the line being stopped whereas internal setup requires that the line be stopped.
 * 1) Separate internal from external setup operations
 * 2) Convert internal to external setup
 * 3) Standardize function, not shape
 * 4) Use functional clamps or eliminate fasteners altogether
 * 5) Use intermediate jigs
 * 6) Adopt parallel operations (see image below)
 * 7) Eliminate adjustments
 * 8) Mechanization

He suggests that SMED improvement should pass through four conceptual stages:

A) ensure that external setup actions are performed while the machine is still running, B) separate external and internal setup actions, ensure that the parts all function and implement efficient ways of transporting the die and other parts, C) convert internal setup actions to external, D) improve all setup actions.

Formal method
There are seven basic steps to reducing changeover using the SMED system:

 * 1) OBSERVE the current methodology
 * 2) Separate the internal and external activities. Internal activities are those that can only be performed when the process is stopped, while external activities can be done while the last batch is being produced, or once the next batch has started. For example, go and get the required tools for the job before  the machine stops.
 * 3) Convert (where possible) internal activities into external ones (pre-heating of tools is a good example of this).
 * 4) Streamline the remaining internal activities, by simplifying them. Focus on fixings – Shigeo Shingo observed that it's only the last turn of a bolt that tightens it—the rest is just movement.
 * 5) Streamline the external activities, so that they are of a similar scale to the internal ones (D).
 * 6) Document the new procedure, and actions that are yet to be completed.
 * 7) Do it all again: For each iteration of the above process, a 45% improvement in set-up times should be expected, so it may take several iterations to cross the ten-minute line.

This diagram shows four successive runs with learning from each run and improvements applied before the next.
 * Run 1 illustrates the original situation.
 * Run 2 shows what would happen if more changeovers were included.
 * Run 3 shows the impact of the improvements in changeover times that come from doing more of them and building learning into their execution.
 * Run 4 shows how these improvements can get you back to the same production time but now with more flexibility in production capacity.
 * Run N (not illustrated) would have changeovers that take 1.5 minutes (97% reduction) and whole shift time reduced from 420 minutes to 368 minutes a productivity improvement of 12%.

The SMED concept is credited to Shigeo Shingo, one of the main contributors to the consolidation of the Toyota Production System, along with Taiichi Ohno.

Key elements to observe
Look for:
 * 1) Shortages, mistakes, inadequate verification of equipment causing delays and can be avoided by check tables, especially visual ones, and setup on an intermediary jig
 * 2) Inadequate or incomplete repairs to equipment causing rework and delays
 * 3) Optimization for least work as opposed to least delay
 * 4) Unheated molds which require several wasted 'tests' before they will be at the temperature to work
 * 5) Using slow precise adjustment equipment for the large coarse part of adjustment
 * 6) Lack of visual lines or benchmarks for part placement on the equipment
 * 7) Forcing a changeover between different raw materials when a continuous feed, or near equivalent, is possible
 * 8) Lack of functional standardization, that is standardization of only the parts necessary for setup e.g. all bolts use same size spanner, die grip points are in the same place on all dies
 * 9) Much operator movement around the equipment during setup
 * 10) More attachment points than actually required for the forces to be constrained
 * 11) Attachment points that take more than one turn to fasten
 * 12) Any adjustments after initial setup
 * 13) Any use of experts during setup
 * 14) Any adjustments of assisting tools such as guides or switches

Record all necessary data Parallel operations using multiple operators By taking the 'actual' operations and making them into a network which contains the dependencies it is possible to optimize task attribution and further optimize setup time. Issues of effective communication between the operators must be managed to ensure safety is assured where potentially noisy or visually obstructive conditions occur.

Tabulata

Tabulata, commonly known as tabulate corals, are an order of extinct forms of coral. They are almost always colonial, forming colonies of individual hexagonal cells known as corallites defined by a skeleton of calcite, similar in appearance to a honeycomb. Adjacent cells are joined by small pores. Their distinguishing feature is their well-developed horizontal internal partitions (tabulae) within each cell, but reduced or absent vertical internal partitions (septa). They are usually smaller than rugose corals, but vary considerably in shape, from flat to conical to spherical.

Around 300 species have been described. Among the most common tabulate corals in the fossil record are Aulopora, Favosites, Halysites, Heliolites, Pleurodictyum, Sarcinula and Syringopora. Tabulate corals with massive skeletons often contain endobiotic symbionts, such as cornulitids and Chaetosalpinx.

Like rugose corals, they lived entirely during the Paleozoic, being found from the Ordovician to the Permian. With Stromatoporoidea and rugose corals, the tabulate corals are characteristic of the shallow waters of the Silurian and Devonian. Sea levels rose in the Devonian, and tabulate corals became much less common. They finally became extinct in the Permian–Triassic extinction event.

Talk:Millesimal fineness

by mass / by volume
The reader will infer that 12 carat gold has by volume 50% gold and 50% alloy, yet that would be incorrect. From the formula 24 (Mg/Mtotal) it is clear that 12 carat gold is less than half gold by volume. The article would be improved if it were to point that out and give the true figures

Michael O'Hagan

Clarified; yet, I hesitated to edit the part referring to Millesimal fineness. In the section: "For example, an alloy containing 75% gold is denoted as "750".", is the 75% by mass or volume? Someone please make this part clearer. Rfts (talk) 04:22, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

990 = 23 carats: dubious
I fail to see how 99% = 23/24. jnestorius(talk) 04:43, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Older Scales
Millisimal fineness replaced a number of older roman weight-fractions, usually fractions as weights of the pound.

Gold was based on the number of carats and grains in the solidus (or metcal). The carat is the carob seed, rated as 144 to the Roman ounce. 1 (solidus) = 24 carats; 1 carat = 4 grains.

In England, Silver was based on ounces and pennyweights in the pound, This going back as far as Offa's penny, 240 making the tower pound. 1 (pound) = 12 ounces; 1 ounce = 20 dwt.

In Germany, silver was based on the loth, 1 (mark) = 16 loth. Gold was based as in England.

Note because the solidus disappeared from use, one finds references to 1 (pound) = 24 carats; 1 carat = 4 grains. These make the units some 72 or 96 times larger than they really were (6 to the oz: 12 or 16 oz to the pound).

References - W.S.B.Woolhouse "Measures, Weights and Moneys of All Nations" 1891. This uses the english systems without references to the thousandth unit. --Wendy.krieger (talk) 10:30, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

proposed merge / move
There is also an article fineness, which is sort of a stub as it stands now. The interesting information is mostly here. How about concentrating on an article named "fineness" as the general term, with subsections for the different notations that have traditionally been in use. "Millesimal fineness" would be the biggest section at the moment with this article being merged there. As the article says, national mints have been producing gold and silver coins with 4N or 5N fineness for quite some years now. But what it omits is the fact that they write 9999 or 99999 on them, and not 999.9 or 999.99. So strictly speaking the fineness is not millesimal anymore nowadays. --BjKa (talk) 10:25, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Support merge/move. Millesimal (parts per thousand) is only one way of expressing the fineness; others are percentage or fractional part with an implied leading decimal point. For example the Perth Mint has a page on their website describing Purity, which includes columns Percentage (eg 99.99%) and Fineness (eg 9999). Mitch Ames (talk) 03:45, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Support merging Millesimal fineness, Fineness, and Karat into one article called Fineness (with redirects). There is nothing inherently millesimal about fineness and there is always some disagreement over how to spell carat/karat. Martin Hogbin (talk) 09:44, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

I will do the merge soon as no one seems to have objected in several months. Martin Hogbin (talk) 13:05, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

St. John's College, University of British Columbia

St. John's College is one of two residential colleges at the University of British Columbia which are modeled on the Oxbridge collegiate system, the other being Green College. It provides a community for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, with an international focus. St. John's College maintains close ties with Green College and the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom.

The college consists of a residential community of 160 graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, visiting scholars and professors, and non-resident affiliated faculty and academic programming. The College is located at the West end of the UBC campus, near Wreck Beach. Aside from taking up residence at St. John's, residential membership entails active involvement in the social and academic aspects of College life. Involvement takes the form of participation on various social and academic committees, and attendance at functions and lectures sponsored by or otherwise linked with the College. Dining together is an integral part of the St. John's College experience. The college is home to the Dining Society which provides meals five days a week to residents and guests.

Academic Lectures and Interdisciplinary Groups
Fellows regularly organize talks and forums on current events around the globe, building upon the College’s international diversity as well as UBC’s global scholarly expertise. Drawing upon the strong bonds of trust and communication developed within the SJC community, Fellows and guests of the College are able to discuss difficult, and often contentious, issues in an atmosphere of mutual respect in which everyone can listen to and learn from each other.

Social and Community Activities
A diverse array of resident groups and committees are active at the college. Associations include: Academic Committee, Arts Committee, Environment Committee, Outreach Committee, Choir, Sports Committee as well as Chinese, French and German conversation groups.

Location and Facilities
St. John's College is located on the west end of UBC's Point Grey campus, bordering the Marine Drive residences and across from Wreck Beach.

Similar to colleges at Oxford and Cambridge, St. Johns grounds include residences for its students and fellows, social rooms and kitchens for residents, formal dining hall, lecture hall, meeting rooms and social lounges. The college also provides catering to events held at the college for the rest of the university.

Organization
The college is a unit of the Faculty of Graduate Studies. The head of the college is the College Principal who is responsible to the Dean of Graduate Studies. Management of the college is guided through an Advisory Board consisting of faculty, community leaders, college residents, and representatives from parallel institutions. Academic components of the college are managed through a variety of joint faculty – resident committees.

History
St. John's College - UBC was founded by alumni of St. John's University, Shanghai, which was shut down by China 1952. To keep the school's traditions alive, SJU alumni (called Johanneans) funded three academic institutions around the world bearing the name of St. John's. They established St. John's University in Taiwan in 1967 and St. John's College UBC in 1997.

Aputula

Aputula (formerly Finke until the 1980s) is a remote Indigenous Australian community in the Northern Territory of Australia. It is 317 km south of Alice Springs and 159 km east of Kulgera roadhouse on the Stuart Highway, near the border with South Australia. The Finke River (named after German prospector William Finke), which is dry for most of the year except during occasional floods and is part of the Lake Eyre basin, passes within a few kilometres of the community.

Location and geography
Aputula is the farthest populated place from the sea in mainland Australia, and therefore the nearest settlement to the geographical centre: the Lambert centre point of mainland Australia is 23 km west-southwest of the township.

History
A railway siding called Finke Siding was created on the Central Australia Railway around 1925. It began as a small working men's camp, where the fettlers (railway workers) lived in concrete buildings without family. The nearest police and postal services were at Charlotte Waters and the district's cattle yards and railway station were at Rumbalara. Car travellers were rare. Aboriginal people started visiting the siding as soon as it was built. Lower Southern Arrernte and Luritja people established a camp in the sandhills nearby, trading dingo scalps, wild flowers, artefacts and other items for water and food.

A police station was built in the late 1930s, after the Charlotte Waters one closed down and the policemen, trackers, their families and some "aged and infirm" Aboriginal people moved to Finke. Residents petitioned for a postal service in 1938. Aboriginal visitors increased as people from Ernabella came to pick up supplies from the train. During the war years, the Central Australian Railway was the main transport route for thousands of soldiers from the southern states going to war in the Pacific, and the siding got its first repeater station operator as well as its first privately owned business.

After World War II, local pastoralists convinced the government to move its cattle yards from Rumbalara to Finke because the water quality at Finke was much better, and the population was thus boosted. In 1947, the first pub, Finke Hotel, owned by Ted Colson (who had been the first European person to cross the Simpson Desert), was opened. An air strip, which gave access to the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and race track were built by the Aboriginal residents. In 1949 the government started subsidising the town's water supply, but the 1950s saw a water crisis. In 1953, the school was opened, and Town of Finke formally proclaimed on 18 August 1955, with town lands made available by auction in October.

In the 1960s, the Aboriginal population of Finke rose as drought and government patrols moved nomads off traditional hunting grounds, and there less work on cattle stations owing to changes in the industry. The people lived in wurlies, hunted rabbits and sold artefacts to increasing numbers of train tourists.

Most non-Aboriginal people left Finke when the railway line was shifted westwards in the late 1970s, following the huge track-damaging floods of 1973 and 1974. The Indigenous population did not move. Instead, with the help of Margaret Bain, a Uniting Church missionary from Ernabella, they moved off the sand dunes into houses they built themselves. It was during this time that the town came to be known as Aputula, and transitioned from a European township to an Aboriginal community. The name comes from a place called 'Putula' (an Arrernte word) near the community, which used to be the site of a water soakage, where Arrernte people used to get their water, before the white people and the railway line came to the area. It also became a "dry town", after the council bought the pub and Johnny Briscoe, the town's first Aboriginal Health Worker, became the publican and ran it dry before giving away its liquor licence.

The Aputula Housing Company, founded in the 1970s, has played an important part in the economy, and was run by local people as well as a group of Torres Strait Islanders who moved inland after the war.

Several of the old buildings in Aputula, including the old police station, school and railway buildings have been nominated for heritage listing by the NT Heritage Council.

Camel police
Finke used to have a police force mounted on camels, possibly "the largest police patrol in the world", and the last police station in the NT to use camels. Aboriginal trackers were an essential part of the patrols, which were often responsible for finding people lost in the bush. The last camel patrol left Finke in 1953. Trackers were also invaluable in solving crimes such as the Sundown murders in 1957. Finke police were also responsible for inspecting stock, registration of births, marriages and deaths, looking after mines, protecting birds and collecting taxes. The policemen's wives ran the post office, and also distributed rations while their husbands were away on patrol and nursed sick people (there were no nurses or doctors in Finke).

Climate and demographics
Aputula holds the record of having the two hottest days ever recorded in the Northern Territory: 48.3 °C on 1 and 2 January 1960.

In the, the town and the immediately surrounding area had a population of 191 in 42 families; there were 59 private dwellings.

The residents are Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara, Luritja, and Lower Southern Arrernte people. Most of the current inhabitants of Finke are migrants from the Western desert, who acknowledge that they are living on Southern Arrernte soil. The site has never been used as an Aboriginal camping place, even in pre-European times, because of the lack of water.

Notable inhabitants

 * Ted Colson (1881–1950), pioneer and pastoralist, known for being the first European person to cross the Simpson Desert.
 * Brownie Doolan (1918–2011), tracker and the last person to speak the Lower Arrernte language.
 * Tali Tali Pompey (about 1945/47 – 16 November 2011), artist.

Sports

 * Australian rules football, with a team in the SANFL APY League
 * Finke Desert Race
 * Simpson Desert Bike Challenge

Hillsong United

Hillsong United (stylised as Hillsong UNITED or UNITED) is a contemporary worship collective originating from Hillsong Church. Since forming in 1998 out of the church's youth ministry, the group has released fifteen live albums and six studio albums.

Band members are involved in Hillsong Church services and also play for the church. The band has toured in a number of countries, leading worship in various places and has an international influence.

History
Originally called United Live, Hillsong United was formed in 1998, originating from the youth ministry of Hillsong Church called Powerhouse Youth. The band released their first live album Everyday after Darlene Zschech—the worship pastor of the church—suggested for them to record their own CDs. Mentored by Zschech in their early years, the band was first led by Reuben Morgan. Joel Houston and Marty Sampson took over the leadership in 2002. The official UNITED logo was designed by drummer Luke Munns in 2002 for To the Ends of the Earth.

After several live albums in the 2000s, Hillsong United released their first full studio album All of the Above in 2007.

The band released their third studio album Zion in February 2013. The album debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and topped Billboard's Top Christian Albums. The album features "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)", which has been certified 4x Platinum in the U.S. and was awarded Top Christian Song at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards.

In 2014, Hillsong United was nominated for and won five GMA Dove Awards, including Song of the Year for "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". The band also received its first ever American Music Awards nomination that year, for Favorite Artist – Contemporary Inspirational, but did not win. 2015 saw the band nominated for a second consecutive year in the same category at the 43rd edition of the show. It was also nominated for the first time at that year's Billboard Music Awards in the Top Christian Artist and Top Christian Song categories; it won the former. The band was nominated again at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards, and garnered four nods across all three Christian categories, winning its second consecutive Top Christian Artist award, and its first for Top Christian Song with "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". The band won two Dove Awards, including Worship Album of the Year, for its fourth studio album Empires, at the 47th Gospel Music Awards held that October. In 2018, the band received four nominations at the 49th GMA Dove Awards including one for Artist of the Year—it won Recorded Worship Song of the Year for its single "So Will I (100 Billion X)".

In March 2015, Relativity Media obtained the distribution rights and the film shifted to a 29 May release. In April, Relativity moved the film to 30 September 2015. However, Relativity Media filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July and let go of the rights to the producers. PureFlix acquired the film and it was released on 16 September 2016.

Awards
As of 2020 the group has received 11 Dove Awards.

Glossary of Japanese words of Portuguese origin

Many Japanese words of Portuguese origin entered the Japanese language when Portuguese Jesuit priests and traders introduced Christian ideas, Western science, technology and new products to the Japanese during the Muromachi period (15th and 16th centuries).

The Portuguese were the first Europeans to reach Japan and the first to establish direct trade between Japan and Europe, in 1543. During the 16th and 17th century, Portuguese Jesuits had undertaken a great work of Catechism, that ended only with religious persecution in the early Edo period (Tokugawa Shogunate).

List of direct loanwords
Many of the words which were introduced and entered the Japanese language from Portuguese and Dutch are written in kanji or hiragana, rather than katakana, which is the more common way to write loanwords in Japanese in modern times. Kanji versions of the words are ateji, characters that are "fitted" or "applied" to the words by the Japanese, based on either the pronunciation or the meaning of the word.

The † indicates the word is archaic and no longer in use.

False cognates
Some word pairs that appear similar are actually false cognates of unrelated origins.

Arigatō
It is often suggested that the Japanese word arigatō derives from the Portuguese obrigado, both of which mean "Thank you", but evidence indicates arigatō has a purely Japanese origin, so these two words are false cognates.

Arigatō is an "u"-sound change of arigataku. In turn, arigataku is the adverbial form of an adjective arigatai, from older arigatashi, itself a compound of ari + katashi. Written records of arigatashi exist dating back to the Man'yōshū compiled in the 8th century AD, well before Japanese contact with the Portuguese in the 16th century.

Ari is a conjugation of verb aru meaning "to be", and katashi is an adjective meaning "difficult", so arigatashi literally means "difficult to exist", hence "rare" and thus "precious", with usage shifting to indicate gratitude for receiving an outstanding kindness. The phrase to express such gratitude is arigatō gozaimasu, or arigatō for short.

Talk:List of English words of Afrikaans origin

Untitled
How can it be tested wether some of these words do not come from Dutch (or similar) in stead of Afrikaans? Bertus 07:48, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Meaning of "commando"
I am not sure that commando derives from Afrikaans, but in any case the Afrikaans would be "kommando", generally meaning "voluntarily citizen's militia".

One can also speak of being "op kommando", referring to being busy with tasks associated with a citizen's militia, usually while moving through the countryside.

One of the most famous uses of the word is in "Commando: a Boer journal of the Boer War" (1929) by Denys Reitz.

"Commando" in the above senses is not the equivalent of the modern concept of a professional special forces soldier, although something of both the older and recent meanings remain combined in the term "commando raid".

DocDee

- The word "Commando" is indeed of Afrikaans origin. Her majesty's Royal Marines, the "Green Berets" were the first official special forces to adopt the word following Britain's conflict with the Boers in the wars in South Africa. The first unit created by Lt. Lieutenant-Colonel D. W. Clarke took the name as they would emulate the guerilla tactics of the Boer Kommando's.

This can be found in the existing Wikipedia entry for Commando - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commando

Raggedyman - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.134.216.82 (talk) 06:43, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

I dont think there is an english word for "boomslang" - Cam
 * The English word is "boomslang" ;) 惑乱 分からん 11:12, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

The word "commando" does indeed originally derive from the Afrikaans word "kommando" and yes, its Afrikaans meaning is more in line with what we know as a "militia" in English. However, "kommando" in turn derives from the Portuguese word "comando" which means a small group of men under a common command.

Another Afrikaans word with Portuguese origins is "mielie", which is "milho" in Portuguese. Would one be able to say that South African English speakers use "mielie" more often than not for maize and therefore I could add it as another South African English word taken from Afrikaans? - Arohemq 01:19, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

The most versatile Afrikaans word
Lekker! The word "lekker", pronounced "lak-er", means nice - loosely - but is also very commonly used like "very", and it can be placed next to E V E R Y T H I N G!

"Ek is lekker honger" - I am very hungry.

"Jy is lekker mal" - You are quite mad.

"Hy het lekker seer gekry" - He was quite badly hurt.

"Dit was nou lekker!" - That was very nice!

"Jy is nie fokken lekker nie" - You are not right in the head.

"Lekker!" - Serves you right!

This word has also colloquially been incorporated into English, mostly synonymous with NICE but not uncommonly used like the above examples. Jkjambsj (talk) 18:20, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Shame on Ernie
Ernie's exclamation couldn't be translated on air as it is quite rude. "Doos" is the modern Afrikaans for the Dutch "kardoes", which is a box. I think, specifically a cardboard box. It is nowadays used as an insult or an expression of anger and frustration, and it refers to a vagina. 196.211.149.66 11:31, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Profanity taken up by the English
This article makes no mention of the Afrikaans profanity that has infiltrated the English language, such as doos, kak, and other more unmentionable terms starting with a p. Can anybody find sources for this to substantiate a mention in this article? It is a pretty common occurrence in ZA that English speaking people with no knowledge of Afrikaans will use its curse words.  — Adriaan (T★C) 15:05, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Voetstoots
The article states "voetstoots meaning as is or as it stands [1] (literally: to push with the foot)". I have my doubts about the literal translation for this. EDIT: The literal translation is 100% correct. "Voet" is Afrikaans for "foot" and "stoot" is Afrikaans for "push". The Dutch word "voetstoot" can be roughly translated to "foot-bump" however there is also the word "vaststaand" which means literally something like "Fixed-standing" of more loosely just as "Fixed" (alternately "het staat vast", in english "it is fixed/It is that way"). In a lot of dialects in The Netherlands the "a/aa" sound is often lowered to almost an "o/oo" sound. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.131.168.246 (talk) 18:01, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Leguan/leguaan/likkewaan
Is there any evidence that leguan or leguaan is derived from likkewaan? They are obviously related, but I think it seems more likely that legua(a)n came before likkewaan rather than from it. Likkewaan is derived ultimately from the Spanish iguana via Dutch leguaan, adapting its phonology to be more Afrikaans-sounding. Compare Dutch pinguin > Afrikaans pikkewyn. Booshank (talk) 21:47, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Oxford says leguan, leguaan, and likkewaan are used in South Africa to mean large South African monitor lizards (e.g. the water liguan and the rock leguan), with an origin "late 18th century: from Dutch, probably from French l'iguane 'the iguana.'" Agyle (talk) 03:28, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Sai Buri district

Sai Buri (สายบุรี, ) is a district (amphoe) in Pattani province, southern Thailand.

The local Malay people call it Teluban (Jawi: تلوبن), which is also the name of the only municipal area of the district, or Selindung Bayu (Jawi: سليندوڠ بايو), the Malay and Sanskrit word for 'wind shelter'.

Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the southeast clockwise): Mai Kaen of Pattani Province; Bacho of Narathiwat province; Kapho, Thung Yang Daeng, and Panare of Pattani. To the east is the Gulf of Thailand.

History
Sai Buri was one of the seven mueangs into which the Pattani sultanate was split. In the thesaphiban administrative reforms at the beginning of the 20th century it became a province within the Monthon Pattani. In 1909 the area of the province was reduced by reassigning Yi-Ngo and modern-day Mueang Narathiwat Districts to Mueang Bang Nara, now Narathiwat Province. In 1932 the province was abolished, the northern half was added to Pattani Province and the southern part to Narathiwat.

Originally simply named "Mueang", the district was renamed "Taluban" in 1917. In 1938 the district was renamed "Sai Buri".

Sai Buri's Chinatown or Sai Buri's old town zone known locally as Gino Kampong. It is a Kelantan-Pattani Malay dialect, the word Gino means Chinese and Kampong means rural area. So it means "Chinatown in suburb area". The area has been a community for 200–300 years. Sai Buri used to be an important commercial port in this part of the country. It so has suitable beach to anchor the ships during monsoon. The Chinese merchants came for trading. The first Chinese race who settled here was Hokkien.

The highlight of Gino Kampong is the historic buildings, most of which are two-story half-timbered half-concrete shophouses built in the Sino-Malay architecture style, called "Gino Kampong", the only ones in the country and one-third of the world.

Administration
The district is divided into 11 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 64 villages (mubans). Taluban is a sub-district municipality (thesaban tambon), which encompasses tambon Taluban. Each of the other sub-districts has a tambon administrative organization (TAO).

distdef of non-english word. Delete. DES (talk) 07:52, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

*Delete - confirmed with Arrente colleague of fellow wikipedian as not used as a self-reference. --Scott Davis Talk 10:39, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - article itself is written in a manner which indicates it may not be correct. Attempts to be a dictionary definition of, as the nominator rightly said, a word not used in English. Regardless, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, so this has to go. Rob Church Talk 09:06, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

As Wikipedia is not to be used as a dictionary, then yes, the 'article' should be deleted. However, my original attempt was to correct a mistake in the article on the Arrente, where it refered to them using the term 'anangu'. This is a name used by another Aboriginal group all together (the Pitjantjatjara ). Arrente do not call themselves 'anangu' and would be happy to be referred to by this word.

I have spent all day trying to find an internet reference for the word 'rhilla' but have not been able to do so. So by all means, remove the 'rhilla article', but I would suggest rewriting the original Arrente entry as well. Sorry if I've caused any inconvience. petersmith

 * Removing my delete vote as Peter seems genuine, and I tried to find an internet reference for Anangu applied to Arrente, and failed, too. All the pages I found are either derived from Wikipedia, or use the words to refer to neighbouring groups. Maybe someone will be able to reference some offline printed source? --Scott Davis Talk 10:31, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Jeff Scott Soto

Jeff Scott Soto (born November 4, 1965) is an American rock singer of Puerto Rican descent. He is best known for being the vocalist on Yngwie Malmsteen's first two albums, and the lead vocalist for Journey in 2006–07.

He sang lead vocals in the band Eyes as well as Sons of Apollo. He also had a long tenure as the front man of hard rock band Talisman. Currently he works as a solo artist, with his self-named band SOTO and as the vocalist of supergroups W.E.T. and Trans-Siberian Orchestra. In 2020, Jeff joined forces with the band Art of Anarchy and their debut together drops in 2024. His style ranges from hard rock to power metal, being influenced by classic soul singers as Sam Cooke as well as Journey's Steve Perry, and Freddie Mercury of Queen.

Career
In 1982, after performing in several local cover bands, Soto recorded several songs as lead singer for the band Kanan. In 1984, Soto provided vocals for virtuoso guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen's debut album Rising Force and his next album Marching Out a year later.

Soto has performed with a wide variety of bands, including Panther, Axel Rudi Pell, Eyes, Talisman, Takara, Humanimal, Human Clay, Kryst The Conqueror, Redlist, Dewa 19, The Boogie Knights, Soul SirkUS and Octavision. As a session musician, Soto also performed backing vocals for artists such as Lita Ford, Steelheart, Glass Tiger, House of Lords, Stryper, and Saigon Kick.

He also sang for the fictional band Steel Dragon, which featured Zakk Wylde, Jeff Pilson and Jason Bonham for the soundtrack of the movie Rock Star along with Michael Matijevic of the band Steelheart, whose second album featured Soto on background vocals.

Soto performed at the 2000 annual OIQFC 'Freddie Mercury Birthday Party' at Reading in the UK, where he performed "Dragon Attack" with Brian May. Since then, Soto has joined Queen sideman Spike Edney's band, the Spike All Stars. Soto then appeared with Brian May and Roger Taylor at the 'Hollywood Walk of Fame' bash for the Official International Queen Fan Club.

In 2012, Taylor hired Soto as one of the four singers chosen for the official tribute band Queen Extravaganza. The band was formed via internet auditions and features Freddie Mercury soundalike Marc Martel. Soto and singer Yvan Pedneault were added to the lineup to augment the selected singers, in an effort to better emulate Queen songs live. However, Soto only did one tour with the group; they continued with a smaller production and line up.

Soto's solo album Damage Control was released on Frontiers Records in March 2012. His next venture was a band eponymously named SOTO, a new band where he could flex his muscles with a modern, Power Metal vibe. "Inside The Vertigo" was released on January 30, 2015, with earMUSIC. The album was co-written alongside Gus G, Mike Orlando and other members of his solo band at that time who were invited to the newly merged SOTO. In 2016, they released DIVAK on earMUSIC and embarked on a World Tour which included supporting Winery Dogs in May 2016 in South America. This support slot would serve as the chance for Winery Dogs drummer Mike Portnoy to 'scout' Soto for the venture that would become Sons of Apollo. SOTO recorded and released their third studio album 'Origami' in 2019 with new bassist Tony Dickinson, who replaced the recently deceased David Z, who died in 2017, as a touring member of Adrenaline Mob.

In 2015, Soto recorded vocals for Joel Hoekstra's 13, contributing to the album Dying to Live. Soto split vocal duties with Russell Allen on the album. In 2018, SOTO recorded their third album Origami, released in May 2019.

Soto released another solo album, Retribution in November 2017. In early 2020 he completed work on his 7th solo album as well as scheduled a live album for release in July. 2020 saw the release of 2 solo albums on Frontiers Records, "Jeff Scott Soto - Loud & Live In Milan 2019", recorded live at the annual Frontiers Rock Festival and "Wide Awake (In My Dreamland)" co-written and produced by Alessandro Del Vecchio. In 2021, he released an album titled "The Duets Collection - Volume 1" in which he re-recorded songs throughout his vast career as vocal duets with the likes of Eric Martin, Dino Jelusick, Russell Allen, Johnny Gioeli, Nathan James, Erik Martensson, and others on the Frontiers label. 2022 saw Soto release his seventh studio solo album "Complicated".

Talisman
Soto was one of the founding members of Talisman in 1989. He was in the group up until their disbandment in 2007. Talisman regrouped in December 2019 to record a tribute track for bassist Marcel Jacob on the 10th anniversary of his death.

Journey
In 2006, Soto replaced Steve Augeri in Journey after Augeri left the tour due to an acute throat infection. After months of being a tour replacement, Soto was officially hired as the band's singer in December 2006. However, the stint was short-lived, as he was fired from the band on June 12, 2007. Soto stated on his website "it seems they wanted something different than I brought to the table. No love lost though, they know what's best for the preservation of their legacy."

He later mentioned the gig did not work out because former vocalist Steve Perry was still alive and could hypothetically rejoin the band, hurting fan expectations of any replacement singers. Although he was officially introduced as the lead singer of Journey, the band has not mentioned Soto in recent lookbacks and biographies, skipping over him entirely for his replacement Arnel Pineda.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Soto joined Trans-Siberian Orchestra as a touring singer in 2008. Soto has continually toured with the group, stating "I will be a part of Trans-Siberian Orchestra as long as they'll have me."

W.E.T.
Alongside members of Work Of Art and Eclipse, Soto founded W.E.T. The group, named after the initials of the band involved, Soto's representing Talisman, released a self-titled debut album in November 2009. In 2013, they released their second album Rise Up, and their third studio album Earthrage followed in 2018. They began recording a new album in 2020 released as "Retransmission".

Sons of Apollo
In May 2017, he joined a progressive metal supergroup named Sons of Apollo with Derek Sherinian, bassist Billy Sheehan, drummer Mike Portnoy and guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal. Their debut album, Psychotic Symphony, was released October 20, 2017, with Inside Out/Sony.

After releasing a live DVD/album in 2019, 'Live With The Plovdiv Psychotic Symphony', Sons of Apollo released their second album MMXX in January 2020. They started the World Tour early 2020 but was interrupted 4 shows into their European tour by the COVID-19 outbreak.

Octavision
In 2020, alongside his Sons Of Apollo co-bandmate Billy Sheehan, Soto was invited by a Glendale, California based Armenian guitarist Hovak Alaverdyan to participate in his progressive metal project Octavision. There, Soto performed vocal duties on two tracks - "Coexist" and "Apocalyptus". The album titled Coexist was released on December 29, 2020.

Personal life
Soto was born in Brooklyn, New York, his family moved to Los Angeles when he was a child. He spent his youth singing, learning trumpet and keyboards.

In 2012, he married his long-term girlfriend, Elena. He has a son from a previous marriage, and two step-children.

Talk:Manifold decomposition

At some point, somebody changed the entry for sutured manifold hierarchy to one for disc decompositions, which are a special kind of sutured manifold hierarchy. I'm not sure why this was done. It's good to have them both. Disc decompositions are used frequently, but the general concept shouldn't be deleted altogether. --C S 07:55, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

One thing about this page that strikes me again and again every time I look at it is how cumbersome it is. It was a nice initial idea to have a general decomposition page...but there's no real nice way to make a table that encompasses the really different kinds of decompositions there are. For example, in hierarchies, one has a sequence of cuttings, and at the end one might have nice pieces like balls or sutured balls or whatever. But saying the "pieces" of the decomposition are balls has quite a different meaning here than saying the pieces of a triangulation are simplices. I could go on and on. But I won't :-) --C S 08:02, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Prime decomposition link
There is a link from this article to "Prime decomposition" which is in error. There is already an article "Prime decomposition (3-manifold)", but for the more general purpose of this article, a more general article on "Prime decomposition (manifold)" is required, to which this article can be linked. Elroch 00:28, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Prime manifold link
In addition, the link from "Prime manifold" goes to "Connected sum". This article does not explain what a prime manifold is. An article "Prime manifold" and a changed link would seem to be needed. Elroch 00:37, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I have removed the higher dimensions: there is no general definition of "prime manifold". In fact, a definition would only work in the topological category (because of the proved Poincaré conjecures), and not in the smooth category (in dimension 4 there may be no prime manifolds at all, not even $$S^4$$). It is misleading to simply say that "it works in all dimensions". Ylebru (talk) 09:42, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Marc Savard

Marc Savard (born July 17, 1977) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey centre and current assistant coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs and former assistant coach with the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted by the New York Rangers with the 91st overall in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft. During his NHL career Savard played for the Rangers, Calgary Flames, Atlanta Thrashers and Boston Bruins. He was an assistant coach for the St. Louis Blues during the 2019–20 season.

Savard's career ended late in the 2010–11 season due to post-concussion syndrome. He did not formally announce his retirement until the conclusion of his contract after the 2016–17 season.

Early career (1993–1999)
Savard played major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) with the Oshawa Generals, beginning in 1993–94. After his second season with the Generals, in which he scored a league-leading 139 points, he was selected 91st overall in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Rangers. He continued to play in the OHL for two more seasons and earned his second Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy as the OHL's leading scorer with 130 points in 1996–97. Savard then added 27 points in 15 playoff games, guiding the Generals to the 1997 J. Ross Robertson Cup and an appearance in the 1997 Memorial Cup.

In 1997–98, Savard was assigned by the Rangers to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Hartford Wolfpack. He scored 74 points with Hartford while being called up to play in 28 games for the Rangers in his rookie professional campaign. The following season, he earned an expanded role with the Rangers and scored 45 points in 70 games.

Calgary Flames (1999–2002)
On June 26, 1999, shortly after the completion of Savard's first full season with the Rangers, he was traded to the Calgary Flames, along with the Rangers' first-round choice in 1999 (Oleg Saprykin), in exchange for the playing rights to Jan Hlaváč, Calgary's first-round pick (Jamie Lundmark) and third-round pick (later traded back to Calgary; Calgary selected Craig Anderson) in the 1999 Draft. Savard continued to improve with the Flames and in 2000–01, he finished second in team scoring to Jarome Iginla with 65 points.

Atlanta Thrashers (2002–2006)
Shortly after beginning his fourth season with the Flames, Savard was acquired by the Atlanta Thrashers from Calgary in exchange for Ruslan Zainullin on November 15, 2002. Playing with superstar wingers Dany Heatley and Ilya Kovalchuk, Savard became a point-per-game player and recorded 52 points in 45 games during an injury shortened 2003–04 season.

Due to the 2004–05 NHL lockout, Savard played in the Swiss leagues with HC Thurgau of Nationalliga B and briefly with SC Bern of Nationalliga A. When NHL play resumed the following season, he emerged as a top talent in the NHL with a career-high 97 points, good for ninth overall in the league.

Boston Bruins (2006–2011)
At the end of his breakthrough season, Savard became an unrestricted free agent and signed with the Boston Bruins to a four-year, $20 million contract on July 1, 2006. He picked up where he left off in Atlanta and led the Bruins in scoring in his first season with the team, tallying 96 points. His 74 assists were good for third in the league for the second consecutive season, behind Joe Thornton (92) and Sidney Crosby (84).

In his second season with the Bruins, Savard was named to his first NHL All-Star Game in 2008, replacing an injured Dany Heatley. He scored the game-winning goal with 21 seconds remaining in the third period. Although Savard's offensive production was cut down to 78 points because of injury in the 2007–08 season, he made his Stanley Cup playoffs debut after 11 seasons in the NHL. As the Bruins faced the Montreal Canadiens in the opening round, Savard scored his first NHL playoff goal in the first overtime of Game 3. He scored six points in the series, but the Bruins were eliminated by the Canadiens in seven games.

Savard was named as a reserve to his second All-Star Game in Montreal the following season, in 2008–09, and helped lead the Bruins to a first-place finish in the Eastern Conference. Savard led the Bruins in scoring with 88 points in 82 games before adding 13 points in 11 playoff games. Playing the Canadiens in the first round for the second consecutive year, Savard and the Bruins swept the series in four games. He advanced to the second round for the first time in his career, where the Bruins were eliminated in seven games by the Carolina Hurricanes.

Seven games into the 2009–10 season, Savard sustained a broken foot while inadvertently blocking a shot. After he was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, tests revealed he had been playing with an injured foot since taking a previous shot in the foot during training camp. Savard was placed on the long-term injured reserve on October 21, 2009. Shortly after returning to the line-up, the Bruins signed Savard to a seven-year extension on December 1, worth $28.05 million (approximately $4.2 million per season). The contract is spread out, with approximately $14 million the first two years and $14 million for the remaining five.

On January 7, 2010, only 28 seconds into his first shift on the ice, Marc Savard suffered a right knee injury after colliding with Jonathan Toews from the Chicago Blackhawks. After getting an MRI, he was placed on injured reserve with a minor MCL tear in his right knee. No surgery was required.

Concussion
On March 7, 2010, Savard suffered a Grade 2 concussion in the third period of the Bruins' game against the Pittsburgh Penguins after getting a shoulder to the head from Matt Cooke. The on-ice officials did not penalize Cooke for the hit, and on March 10, Colin Campbell declared that the NHL would not suspend or fine Cooke. The hit and its aftermath were part of the key evidence that caused NHL to institute a new rule that more heavily penalized blindside hits. Savard was not taken to a hospital following the incident but stayed behind at a Pittsburgh hotel for the night before returning to Boston the following day. Savard recovered enough to be cleared to play for the 2010 playoff series against the Philadelphia Flyers after their victory against the Buffalo Sabres. He scored the winning goal in overtime in the Bruins' win in Game 1 of the series.

Savard was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome during the subsequent off-season, missing the first 23 games of the 2010–11 season. Despite eventually returning, Savard's performance was quite muted, with just 10 points in 25 games after scoring at a near point-per-game basis for most of his career with the Bruins. On January 23, 2011, Savard suffered a second concussion on a hit by former Bruin Matt Hunwick in a game against the Colorado Avalanche. On February 8, 2011, the Bruins opted to shut Savard down for the season after he received his second concussion in ten months. The Bruins went on to win the Stanley Cup, defeating the Vancouver Canucks in seven games. Due to recurring symptoms of post-concussion syndrome, Savard was not able to travel to Vancouver to take part in the on-ice victory celebration with his teammates, but he was able to join them back in Boston for the official victory parade.

Despite not playing the required number of games for his name to be automatically included in the Stanley Cup engraving, the Bruins petitioned the league to include Savard's name on the Cup. Savard enjoyed his personal day with the Stanley Cup on August 1, 2011, in his hometown of Peterborough, Ontario; at that time, he announced he was still suffering the effects of his injury. On August 31, 2011, it was announced Savard had been shut down for the 2011–12 season by Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli. Chiarelli was quoted as saying, "Based on what I see, what I hear, what I read, and what I'm told, it's very unlikely Marc will play again." On September 12, 2011, Chiarelli announced Savard's name would be included on the Stanley Cup as he had missed games only due to injury.

On July 1, 2015, Savard's contract with the Bruins was included in a trade of Reilly Smith to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Jimmy Hayes due to salary cap circumstances.

On June 10, 2016, Savard's contract was traded to the New Jersey Devils, along with a second-round pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, in exchange for Paul Thompson and Graham Black. Savard formally announced his retirement on January 22, 2018, seven years after he played his last NHL game.

On June 23, 2024 Savard was hired by the Toronto Maple Leafs as an assistant coach.

 * Delete as dupe fancruft with no merge target. I've been ambivalent about AFDing or merging this for a while. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 15:32, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * merge or keep. Trollderella 00:36, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge where? There's no info here that isn't in the Saffron City or Celadon City articles, and the term isn't ever used in the anime or games. (It might be used in the manga, but 115 Google hits including WP mirrors tends to imply that it isn't.) - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 00:38, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Then redirect. Trollderella 00:57, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * To where? Sonic Mew | talk to me 19:47, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete as brain-fryingly annoying fancruft. Not satisfied with the two city articles, the author needs to synthesize another one. MCB 01:40, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Celadon City was created by in April 2004. .  Saffron City was created by  0n April 9th 2005. .  Celadon-Saffron Metropolitan Area was created by  on April 25th 2005. .  Please check the facts before making such claims. Sonic Mew | talk to me 19:47, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete Pretty pointless, really.  I can see the logic, but this is not even a termrecognised by the fandom.  Besides which, in all representations of the Pokémon world that I know of, there is some rural area between Saffron City and Celadon City. Sonic Mew | talk to me 19:47, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
