Old and New Dreams

Old and New Dreams was an American jazz group that was active from 1976 to 1987. The group was composed of tenor saxophone player Dewey Redman (doubling on musette), bassist Charlie Haden, trumpeter Don Cherry and drummer Ed Blackwell. All of the members were former sidemen of free jazz progenitor and alto saxophonist Ornette Coleman, and the group played a mix of Coleman's compositions and originals by the band members.

The members of Old and New Dreams had deep personal and musical ties to Coleman. Dewey Redman attended high school in Fort Worth, Texas, where his classmates and bandmates were Coleman, Charles Moffett, and Prince Lasha. He was featured on a number of Coleman's albums, beginning with New York Is Now! and Love Call, both recorded in the spring of 1968. Ed Blackwell met Coleman in New Orleans in 1949, and the two later shared a house in Los Angeles. Blackwell joined Coleman's band in 1959 during a gig at the Five Spot, replacing Billy Higgins, who lost his cabaret card. He made his first recorded appearance with Coleman in 1960 on This Is Our Music. Don Cherry met Coleman in the mid-1950s while playing in a band called the Jazz Messiahs, and, after joining his band, was featured on over a dozen albums with Coleman, beginning with the saxophonist's 1958 debut recording Something Else!!!!. Charlie Haden met Coleman shortly after the 1958 recording session, and at the time was playing with Paul Bley. In the fall of 1958, Coleman, Cherry, Haden, and Higgins joined Bley for a six-week job at the Hilcrest Club in Los Angeles, recording the material released in the 1970s on Live at the Hilcrest Club 1958 and Coleman Classics Volume 1, after which the four continued as a quartet, with Blackwell later replacing Higgins. Cherry, Haden, and Blackwell appeared with John Coltrane on the album The Avant-Garde, recorded in 1960 and featuring three Coleman compositions, and continued to record extensively with Coleman through the 1960s and 1970s.

In the early 1970s, Redman and Haden, along with drummer Paul Motian, joined Keith Jarrett's band, while Cherry and Blackwell toured and recorded together. The four also appeared together on the Coleman albums Science Fiction and Broken Shadows, recorded in 1971. In 1975, Coleman formed his electric band Prime Time, and shortly afterward, Jarrett's group disbanded. The following year, after the notion of reforming the acoustic Coleman quartet fell through, the four recorded their first album as Old and New Dreams.

Regarding the group's origins and approach to improvisation, Haden commented: "before we met, all of us were already hearing and wanting to play things that other musicians weren't playing... We were after something like pure spontaneity... improvising on the feeling of the tunes we were playing rather than on the chord structures. When we would try that individually, back in the mid-1950s, the musicians we were playing with would get upset. But when we finally got together, we were able to play the most spontaneous music we'd ever played." He continued: "Some people still think that we just get up and start improvising... but our playing has its own structure. Instead of following a regular chord pattern, we use the melodies of the compositions as a guide and create new chord structures every time we play them. That's why playing really challenging compositions, Ornette's and our own, is so important to us. In a similar vein, Redman stated: "the improvisation... relates to the melody, whatever the melody is stated at the beginning, and you, when you improvise around that... you're relating to that structure. However, that can be very complex, because... you might be thinking of the melody, but you might also be thinking of... different phrases that go with the melody or maybe go against the melody."

The group toured intermittently over a period of roughly eleven years, and released two records on the German jazz label ECM: a self-titled release in 1979 and Playing, recorded live, a year later. These discs were bookended by a pair of discs on the Italian Black Saint label: a studio record from 1976 (also self-titled) and 1987's A Tribute to Blackwell, capturing a performance at a birthday celebration for Blackwell. A 1986 performance, with Paul Motian substituting for Blackwell, was released by Condition West Recordings in 2017 with the title Old and New Dreams Live in Saalfelden, 1986. Cherry and Blackwell later appeared (without Redman) on Haden's 1989 album The Montreal Tapes: with Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell, and the entire group reunited for the last time in 1991 at Alice Tully Hall for an event called "Dewey's Circle", where they were joined by pianist Geri Allen.

Blackwell died in 1992, Cherry in 1995, Redman in 2006, and Haden in 2014. In 2017, Dewey Redman's son, saxophonist Joshua Redman, recorded Still Dreaming as a tribute to Old and New Dreams.

Reception
Reviewer Scott Yanow called Old and New Dreams "one of the late '80s finest groups", and stated that "they joined The Mingus Dynasty, Sphere, and Dameronia as bands that weren't simply repertory units, but evolving groups using a great composer's material as a starting point for their own peerless interpretations." Stanley Crouch wrote that the band "made it clear... how very different what [Ornette] Coleman had introduced into jazz was from the bulk of the music played by those usually said to be in the jazz vanguard. They swung, they were melody makers, and the whole tradition of jazz flowed through their playing exactly as it did from the best of the musicians who had come forward since the bebop movement of the forties."

Robert Palmer stated: "The band's style is as broadly eclectic as the players' disparate personalities and experiences. But Old and New Dreams is also a kind of floating conservatory that keeps the music of the early Coleman quartets - the original 'free jazz' - alive and before the public." Francis Davis wrote: "If the myth that Coleman had to be physically present in order for his music to be played properly persisted in some quarters, Old and New Dreams dispelled it once and for all. The band played Coleman's music with a joy and a sense of purpose that bore witness to Coleman's acuity as a composer. The success of Old and New Dreams showed that the music that had once been both hailed and reviled as the wave of the future had taken a firm enough hold in the past to inspire nostalgia."

Betty Lynn

Elizabeth Ann Theresa Lynn (August 29, 1926 – October 16, 2021) was an American actress. She played Thelma Lou, Deputy Barney Fife's girlfriend, on The Andy Griffith Show. During the 1940s and 1950s, she appeared in many films, including Sitting Pretty (1948), June Bride (1948), the original Cheaper by the Dozen (1950), and Meet Me in Las Vegas (1956). She also played a major role in an episode of the television series Little House on the Prairie.

Early life
Born in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1926, Betty Lynn was the only child of Elizabeth Ann (née Lynn) and George A. Dailey. Her father was a civil engineer, who worked initially as a municipal employee for Kansas City and later as a private contractor. Her mother, described as "an accomplished mezzo-soprano", taught Betty in her early childhood to sing and enrolled her in the Kansas City Conservatory of Music when she was only five years old. Prior to that, according to federal census records, her parents had separated and divorced before April 1930. Their marriage is reported to have been a tumultuous one, with allegations that her father once threatened to shoot her mother in the abdomen when she was pregnant, and that after Betty's birth, he made additional threats that forced her mother on one occasion to hide in a locked closet to protect herself and her baby.

Following her mother's breakup with Dailey, young Betty had little personal contact with her father. She went with her mother to live with her mother's parents, Josie (née Hill) and George Andrew Lynn, who also resided in Kansas City. Betty's grandfather, a railroad engineer, effectively served as her father figure from then on, until his death in Sacramento, California in 1959.

USO tour
When she was 17, Lynn auditioned to participate in United Service Organizations entertainment. At age 18 she was part of a USO tour in the China Burma India Theater during World War II. She realized the gravity of the situation when a Marine gave her a pistol saying, "You might need this."

Her activities on the tour included visiting patients in hospitals and singing requests from a repertoire of 725 songs, her primary mission to entertain and console wounded servicemen in military hospitals. She also met recently released prisoners of war from Rangoon, and she was told by a doctor, "Most of them will be out of their minds in six months."

Acting career
Betty Lynn began her acting career in radio as a member of the cast on a daytime drama on a station in Kansas City.

On Broadway, she appeared in Walk with Music (1940), Oklahoma! (1943), and Park Avenue (1946). She was discovered in a Broadway production by Darryl F. Zanuck and signed to 20th Century Fox. A clause in her contract allowed the studio to drop her at six-month intervals, leading to recurring concerns for Lynn. She said, "I was a redhead with freckles and didn't have a bosom. I prayed so hard they’d keep picking me up."

Lynn made her film debut in the 1948 film Sitting Pretty, which won a Photoplay Gold Medal. That same year, she appeared in June Bride with Bette Davis followed by roles in Mother Is a Freshman (1949), Cheaper by the Dozen (1950), and Payment on Demand (1951).

Lynn replaced Patricia Kirkland in the role of Betty Blake in the CBS comedy, The Egg and I (1951–1952), and she played Pearl in the ABC comedy Love That Jill (1958). During this time she became a neighbor to an infant Mark Evanier, who she said became a close friend.

She was Viola Slaughter in the ABC Western Texas John Slaughter (1958–1962). In the 1953–1954 television season, Lynn was cast as June Wallace, the sister-in-law of the Ray Bolger character on the ABC sitcom Where's Raymond? After guest-starring on various television series, including Schlitz Playhouse of Stars, The Gale Storm Show, Sugarfoot, and Markham, Lynn won the role of Thelma Lou on The Andy Griffith Show. Despite playing the role for five years (1961–1966), she appeared in only 26 episodes, and was never signed on to the show (in part because at the time she was cast, she was still under contract for Texas John Slaughter). She recounted, "I didn't want to leave Thelma Lou. I really loved her. I enjoyed her. She was sweet and kind, she was so fun to play, and I loved working with Don Knotts — he was so wonderful." Following the end of The Andy Griffith Show, Lynn continued appearing in various television and film roles. In 1986 she joined her former Andy Griffith Show castmates for the NBC reunion movie Return to Mayberry, in which Thelma Lou finally married Barney Fife.

In 2006, Lynn retired from acting and relocated to Mount Airy, North Carolina, the home town of Andy Griffith and the town on which Mayberry is believed to have been based, despite Griffith's claims to the contrary.

Personal life
In 1950 in Los Angeles, Lynn bought a house, where her mother and grandparents moved in and lived with her for years. She thus assumed the off-screen roles of breadwinner and caretaker.

Lynn never married, although she stated she was once engaged. By July 2019, she was still residing in Mount Airy and continued to make monthly personal appearances in town at the Andy Griffith Museum, signing autographs and meeting with her fans. Lynn once commented, "The longer I live here, the more I see things [Griffith] took from his hometown."

A devout Roman Catholic, Lynn regularly attended St. Timothy's Catholic Church in Los Angeles, and after her move to Mount Airy, she joined the local Holy Angels Catholic Church.

After a brief illness, Lynn died in October 2021 at the age of 95. At the time of her death, she was working on her autobiography, which is set to be released posthumously. In response to her death, Ron Howard of The Andy Griffith Show wrote about Lynn's cheerful personality both on set as well as away from the cameras:""RIP Betty Lynn. She played Thelma Lou on #TAGS & brightened every scene she was in & every shooting day she was on set. I saw her last a few years ago where she still lit up the room with her positivity. It was great to have known and worked with her. She truly was 95yrs young"."

Honors
Lynn was inducted into the Missouri Walk of Fame, located in Marshfield, Missouri, in 2007. Nine years later on August 30, 2016, she was presented with the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, the highest civilian honor bestowed in North Carolina, by the state's lieutenant governor Dan Forest, having been granted it by governor Pat McCrory.

Laona and Northern Railway

The Laona and Northern Railway (reporting marks LNO) is a heritage railroad in Laona, Wisconsin.

History
A former freight railroad, it was incorporated in 1902 for the R. Connor Company of Marshfield, Wisconsin, to haul lumber to its mill in Laona and then transport it to the Soo Line interchange 8 miles north in Laona Junction.

When the railway converted to diesel in the mid-1950s, the company held on to only one steam locomotive, No. 4 or 4 Spot, for reserve power and burning weeds from the rail line. By 1965 the Connor Company used the locomotive for mixed trains to Laona Junction, taking passengers on a $2 1/2$-hour ride. In 1983 the Connor Company gave the Laona and Northern No. 4 to the Camp 5 historical society, and it now pulls the Lumberjack Steam Train to the Camp Five Museum.

Inconsistent birth place
If her birth place has been reported as Murshidabad and Behrampur, why are we favouring one over the other in the infobox? Leave it blank, methinks. And the content in the Early life section should make it clear that there is conflicting information about her birth place. Currently there's a footnote, but again, why are we deciding what the truth is and not explaining what the situation is? Convert the footnote to prose. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:09, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * @Cyphoidbomb The point is, if she had said she was born in Murshidabad, she was clearly referring to the district within which the town of Berhampore is situated. This is something many Bengalis habitually do, i.e., refer to the district they belong to since it automatically speaks a lot about the culture they were born into and/or grew up with.

Sukoon edit
@Vellaonwiki, this section is to discuss the description around Ghoshal's performance on two songs in the album Sukoon. For sake of clarity, the edit I've made is here. The issue revolves around the text "She received critical acclaim for both the songs" with and  as the sources. First problem, generalizing from two reviews is not acceptable, especially saying that in Wikipedia's voice. It's clear WP:SYNTH. The ideal source would be a high quality source that IS summarizing reviews and summarizes them as critical acclaim. Second, is the sources have just a couple of lines each and there's nothing in them that supports "critical acclaim" as a summary for either review individually.

Say what the source says is what's needed here. The Firstpost source says "she is better in Tujhe Bhi Chand", but there's no baseline given. Was her other performance considered bad? Great? We don't know, only that one is better. The IndianExpress review has "a lot of dexterity" and "sung like a dream, gently yet valiantly". Again, saying that's critical acclaim is way off the mark. Say what the source says. There's way too much puffery in just this one little line, I'm hoping this isn't a comment theme throughout the article.  Ravensfire  (talk) 21:10, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

@User:Ravensfire First of all get this thing.. Sukoon is an Indian music album not a film, you can't expect it to have several reviews! And this ain't generalising.. We can switch "critical acclaim" with positive reviews for that.. And talking about my other point literally none of those reviews says her performance in those songs was "Okay".. You're saying "we don't know" and then add your own statement.. Like if we don't know then add what's exactly written in those articles and don't create your own statements.. And you should read the full review, The firstpost critic found her better in Tujhe Bhi Chand but did you read what he wrote about other song? He wrote "Shreya’s interpretation of Momin Khan Momin’s immortal Ghazal Woh jo hum mein tum mein qaraar (Qaraar being the name of the song) tha is laborious. That vocal effortlessness which the intricate words and compositions require is heard" these are his EXACT words.. He literally praised her vocals and called them effortless and called song "laborious" Vellaonwiki (talk) 13:28, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

 * @Vellaonwiki yes, actually Wikipedia can and does expect something like that. If there aren't the sources to support something, you CANNOT start using your own judgement on what the sources say.  That's called synthesis.  If there isn't a source for critical acclaim, you cannot pull that out of thin air.  There are multiple other places in this article where that's been done and I'm going to start working through those slowly.  Ravensfire  (talk) 15:03, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I've partially reverted your edit. The forbes.com source is a blog (see the /site/ in the url) and there are multiple discussions on WP:RSN to not use the Forbes blogs.  This is also a WP:BLP article, so please read WP:BLPSPS for why blogs and other self-published sources are especially avoided here.  Ravensfire  (talk) 15:11, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

@User:Ravensfire But source clearly praising both the songs like can you read or not huh? Tell me where exactly Subhash K Jha of firstpost found her performances in those songs "Ok".. I want you to quote his words And yeh start "working" but again I'll be there to ask whatever i feel and i better get proper explanations unlike this Vellaonwiki (talk) 15:14, 19 January 2023 (UTC) And yeh talking about Forbes as source @User:Ravensfire, if you're keeping this energy for Shreya Ghoshal then do the same with the wikipedia pages of Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt or any leading Indian actress.. All of them are claimed as "One of Highest-paid" based on Forbes list only so i better see you remove that claim from their wikipedia pages as well.. And mind you there are several sources other than forbes listing Shreya as one of highest paid/richest singers but we'll see about that

 * @Vellaonwiki "can you read or not huh" - don't go down the road of petty insults, it's not helpful and falls into personal attack territory. Praise != critical acclaim. That's a clear POV that's being pushed that is NOT supported by the source.  Say what the source says, it's that simple. With two reviews that have a couple of relevant sentences each, you can quickly summarize the points of the review and tell the reader far more useful information.
 * As for the other articles, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Yes, other articles are bad.  And?  This page is about this article. Let's focus on this article here, shall we?  Ravensfire  (talk) 20:01, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Adam Treu

Adam R. Treu (born June 24, 1974) is an American former professional football player who was a center for the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, joining as a walk-on after playing at Pius X High School in Lincoln, Nebraska. He won back-to-back national championships with the Cornhuskers in 1994 and 1995 playing left tackle and performing all the long snapping duties. He was selected by the Oakland Raiders in the third round (72nd overall) of the 1997 NFL Draft.

Raider center
From 1997 to 2003, Treu was the reserve center behind Barret Robbins, but when Robbins was injured during the 2001 NFL season, Treu capably filled his place during 14 games. Oakland scored 399 points (24.9 points/game), 4th of 31 teams in the NFL and won the AFC west for the second year in a row. In the 2001–02 NFL playoffs, the offensive line, composed of Treu, Steve Wisniewski and Frank Middleton at guard, Barry Sims and Lincoln Kennedy at tackle, pulverized the New York Jets's defense with 215 yards on the ground and 287 yards in the air in a wild card game, but lost to the New England Patriots in the divisional round, the infamous Tuck rule game when Tom Brady was judged not to have fumbled.

Despite Treu's success, Robbins regained his starting position the following year, up to the day before Super Bowl XXXVII, when reported missing, then found in a manic state. Treu started Super Bowl XXXVII in his place, but the Raiders had little success against a very strong Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense.

Robbins regained his starting position during the 2003 NFL season, but was released before the 2004 NFL season due to steroid use. Treu then became the 6th starting center in Raider history, starting all 16 games, but then started only 10 the following year, replaced by Jake Grove who handled the starting duties for the Raiders with 5–11 and 4–12 won-lost records. In his final year, 2006, he became the reserve center again after Grove replaced him. In November 2006, Treu suffered a ruptured quadriceps tendon against the San Diego Chargers and went on injured reserve. After a 10-season professional career, Treu retired in July 2007.

Carl Radle
I nominated this article for peer review because I would like this article to meet the standards of Wikipedia, because this is the hardest I've worked on an article about a person. So I would like it to be the highest quality of article, also because Carl Radle was a fine musician, and doesn't deserve to have just a little article with no information other than, "He was in Derek and the Dominos". Private Butcher 03:04, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Nice start to the article! You've done a nice job so far. Here's what I would suggest to make it better:
 * Your intro should summarize the article. Dates for birth and death are usually put in parentheses following the name. It would also look nice to move the picture next to the intro.
 * You mention "The Tulsa Sound." What characterizes that? A description of it would be most helpful.
 * The article has quite a few red links, it would look nicer to start stubs for these links.
 * Please list your sources.
 * Inline citations would also help.
 * The article should be in some categories.
 * Names of albums should be listed in italics and see if there are articles on the albums you can link to.

Bon chance! Ganymead 03:52, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Agree with the above. Please also take a look at articles that have made the cut. Compare your article to those articles. Check for prose, sections, length etc. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  04:59, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Just rewrote the entire aritcle, what do you think now? Privat  e   Butcher  00:39, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

It looks pretty good - but it needs references before it'll pass FAC :). 03:08, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Cleaned up opening statement by deleting reference to prison slang - slang words should either be considered irrelevant or placed in a different section. the phrase 'booty search' seemed like an inappropriate way to start the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.186.209.236 (talk • contribs) 04:50, 4 September 2007

Cleanup tag
This makes not much sense to me. Where are the "searchable orfices" in the penis, testicles, and breasts? Nabla 23:42, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Excellent point. (by 71.28.243.246, 2005-10-04 03:07:18)
 * The IRA Example seems to answer this concern. --Unsigned
 * I have done some minor editing to provide some clarification and removed generalizations. Some additional details of the legal status of such searches outside the USA would be useful, but unfortunately, that is beyond my limited knowledge. As such, I've removed the cleanup tag as I think the entry is pretty straight-forward and self explanitory now. --Lendorien 02:01, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

NPOV
"Suspects and inmates can be highly creative in using their bodies to conceal contraband." This casts suspects/inmates in a suspicious light, as conniving individuals, and hints toward generalization. Also, "creative" is a highly subjective term that doesn't appear to be necessary in this context. I was thinking something more like "historically, there have been many different methods used to conceal contraband" or something along those lines. Paralysisordeath 02:07, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Full hand ?
I am puzzle with the two last words of the following sentence: "During manual body cavity searches, body orifices are probed using fingers or the entire hand."

Do you have references about situations were full hand is used or some reference to Police instructions were it is stated that they can use up to full hand? Alan Quest (talk) 21:40, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Only in the US?

 * Body cavity searches may also be conducted by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection when they suspect international travelers of hiding contraband—such as drugs—in their alimentary canal.[1]

Why is the U.S. singled out here? Surely they're not the only border service to perform this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.244.67.14 (talk) 16:55, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Squats over a mirror
In some countries authorities demand for squatting over a mirror. Demands can be made that the squat should be held, and a flashlight can be used for extra lighting. The article does not explain that these squats are part of a visual body cavity search. 178.232.151.249 (talk) 11:21, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Gender vs sex
...transferred to an offsite clinic to be examined by a licensed physician of the same gender There is no reference to this part. Why does it use the made-up and politicized word "gender"? Afaik, it was not common in the decades past. Shouldn't "sex" be used instead? Is it a case of Wikipediaspeak?--Adûnâi (talk) 01:47, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Geography of Guadeloupe

Guadeloupe is an archipelago of more than 12 islands, as well as islets and rocks situated where the northeastern Caribbean Sea meets the western Atlantic Ocean. It is located in the Leeward Islands in the northern part of the Lesser Antilles, a partly volcanic island arc. To the north lie Antigua and Barbuda and the British Overseas Territory of Montserrat, with Dominica lying to the south.

The two main islands are Basse-Terre (west) and Grande-Terre (east), which form a butterfly shape as viewed from above, the two 'wings' of which are separated by the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin, Rivière Salée (Guadeloupe) and Petit Cul-de-Sac Marin. More than half of Guadeloupe's land surface consists of the 847.8 km2 Basse-Terre. The island is mountainous, containing such peaks as Mount Sans Toucher (4,442 feet; 1,354 metres) and Grande Découverte (4,143 feet; 1,263 metres), culminating in the active volcano La Grande Soufrière, the highest mountain peak in the Lesser Antilles with an elevation of 1467 metres. In contrast Grande-Terre is mostly flat, with rocky coasts to the north, irregular hills at the centre, mangrove at the southwest, and white sand beaches sheltered by coral reefs along the southern shore. This is where the main tourist resorts are found.

Marie-Galante is the third-largest island, followed by La Désirade, a north-east slanted limestone plateau, the highest point of which is 275 metres. To the south lies the Îles de Petite-Terre, which are two islands (Terre de Haut and Terre de Bas) totalling 2 km2.

Les Saintes is an archipelago of eight islands of which two, Terre-de-Bas and Terre-de-Haut are inhabited. The landscape is similar to that of Basse-Terre, with volcanic hills and irregular shoreline with deep bays.

There are numerous other smaller islands, most notably Tête à l'Anglais, Îlet à Kahouanne, Îlet à Fajou, Îlet Macou, Îlet aux Foux, Îlets de Carénage, La Biche, Îlet Crabière, Îlets à Goyaves, Îlet à Cochons, Îlet à Boissard, Îlet à Chasse and Îlet du Gosier.

Geology
The two halves of Guadeloupe are geologically distinct. The western half is part of an active volcanic arc that extends from Saba to Grenada. The eastern half is part of an older extinct volcanic arc that includes Anguila, Saint Martin, Saint Barts, Barbuda, Antigua, Grand Terre and Marie Galante. Here the mountains are worn down and the soil is mostly coral limestone. Because of the porous soil and lack of mountains to catch rainfall, agriculture is limited by insufficient water.

Basse-Terre is a volcanic island. The Lesser Antilles are at the outer edge of the Caribbean Plate, and Guadeloupe is part of the outer arc of the Lesser Antilles Volcanic Arc. Many of the islands were formed as a result of the subduction of oceanic crust of the Atlantic Plate under the Caribbean Plate in the Lesser Antilles subduction zone. This process is ongoing and is responsible for volcanic and earthquake activity in the region. Guadeloupe was formed from multiple volcanoes, of which only La Grande Soufrière is not extinct. Its last eruption was in 1976, and led to the evacuation of the southern part of Basse-Terre. 73,600 people were displaced throughout three and a half months following the eruption.

K–Ar dating indicates that the three northern massifs on Basse-Terre Island are 2.79 million years old. Sections of volcanoes collapsed and eroded within the last 650,000 years, after which the Sans Toucher volcano grew in the collapsed area. Volcanoes in the north of Basse-Terre Island mainly produced andesite and basaltic andesite. There are several beaches of dark or "black" sand.

La Désirade, east of the main islands, has a basement from the Mesozoic, overlaid with thick limestones from the Pliocene to Quaternary periods.

Grande-Terre and Marie-Galante have basements probably composed of volcanic units of Eocene to Oligocene, but there are no visible outcrops. On Grande-Terre, the overlying carbonate platform is 120 metres thick.

Acomat Falls is a waterfall nine meter tall.

Climate
The islands are part of the Leeward Islands, so called because they are downwind of the prevailing trade winds, which blow out of the northeast. This was significant in the days of sailing ships. Grande-Terre is so named because it is on the eastern, or windward side, exposed to the Atlantic winds. Basse-Terre is so named because it is on the leeward south-west side and sheltered from the winds. Guadeloupe has a tropical climate tempered by maritime influences and the Trade Winds. There are two seasons, the dry season called "Lent" from January to June, and the wet season called "winter", from July to December.

Tropical cyclones and storm surges
Located in a very exposed region, Guadeloupe and its dependencies have to face many cyclones. The deadliest hurricane to hit Guadeloupe was the Pointe-à-Pitre hurricane of 1776, which killed at least 6,000 people.

On 16 September 1989, Hurricane Hugo caused severe damage to the islands of the archipelago and left a deep mark on the memory of the local inhabitants. In 1995, three hurricanes (Iris, Luis and Marilyn) hit the archipelago in less than three weeks.

Some of the deadliest hurricanes that have hit Guadeloupe are the following:

In the 20th century: 12 September 1928: 1928 Okeechobee hurricane; 11 August 1956: Hurricane Betsy; 22 August 1964: Hurricane Cleo; 27 September 1966: Hurricane Inez; 16–17 September 1989: Hurricane Hugo; 14–15 September 1995: Hurricane Marilyn.

In the 21st century: 6 September 2017: Hurricane Irma; 18–19 September 2017: Hurricane Maria.

Flora
With fertile volcanic soils, heavy rainfall and a warm climate, vegetation on Basse-Terre is lush. Most of the islands' forests are on Basse-Terre, containing such species as mahogany, ironwood and chestnut trees. Mangrove swamps line the Salée River. Much of the forest on Grande-Terre has been cleared, with only a few small patches remaining.

Between 300 and 1,000 m of altitude, the rainforest that covers a large part of the island of Basse-Terre develops. There we find the white gum tree, the acomat-boucan or chestnut tree, the marbri or bois-bandé or the oleander; shrubs and herbaceous plants such as the mountain palm, the balisier or ferns; many epiphytes: bromeliads, philodendrons, orchids and lianas. Above 1,000 m, the humid savannah develops, composed of mosses, lichens, sphagnum or more vigorous plants such as mountain mangrove, high altitude violet or mountain thyme.

The dry forest occupies a large part of the islands of Grande-Terre, Marie-Galante, Les Saintes, La Désirade and also develops on the leeward coast of Basse-Terre. The coastal forest is more difficult to develop because of the nature of the soil (sandy, rocky), salinity, sunshine and wind and is the environment where the sea grape, the mancenilla (a very toxic tree whose trunk is marked with a red line), the icaquier or the Coconut tree grow. On the cliffs and in the Arid zones are found cacti such as the cactus-cigar (Cereus), the prickly pear, the chestnut cactus, the "Tête à l'anglais" cactus and the aloes.

The Mangrove forest that borders some of Guadalupe's coasts is structured in three levels, from the closest to the sea to the farthest. On the first level are the red mangroves; on the second, about ten metres from the sea, the black mangroves form the shrubby mangrove; on the third level the white mangroves form the tall mangrove. Behind the mangrove, where the tide and salt do not penetrate, a swamp forest sometimes develops, unique in Guadeloupe. The representative species of this environment is the Mangrove-medaille.

Fauna
Few terrestrial mammals, aside from bats and raccoons, are native to the islands. The introduced Javan mongoose is also present on Guadeloupe. Bird species include the endemic purple-throated carib and the Guadeloupe woodpecker. The waters of the islands support a rich variety of marine life.

However, by studying 43,000 bone remains from six islands in the archipelago, 50 to 70% of snakes and lizards on the Guadeloupe Islands became extinct after European colonists arrived, who had brought with them mammals such as cats, mongooses, rats, and raccoons, which might have preyed upon the native reptiles.

Environmental preservation
In recent decades, Guadeloupe's natural environments have been affected by hunting and fishing, forest retreat, urbanization and suburbanization. They also suffer from the development of intensive crops (banana and sugar cane, in particular), which reached their peak in the years 1955–75. This has led to the following situation: seagrass beds and reefs have degraded by up to 50% around the large islands; mangroves and mantids have almost disappeared in Marie-Galante, Les Saintes and La Désirade; the salinity of the fresh water table has increased due to "the intensity of use of the layer"; and pollution of agricultural origin (pesticides and nitrogenous compounds).

In addition, the ChlEauTerre study, unveiled in March 2018, concludes that 37 different anthropogenic molecules (more than half of which come from residues of now-banned pesticides, such as chlordecone) were found in "79% of the watersheds analyzed in Grande-Terre and 84% in Basse-Terre." A report by the Guadeloupe Water Office notes that in 2019 there is a "generalized degradation of water bodies."

Despite everything, there is a will to preserve these environments whose vegetation and landscape are preserved in some parts of the islands and constitute a sensitive asset for tourism. These areas are partially protected and classified as ZNIEFF, sometimes with nature reserve status, and several caves are home to protected chiropterans. The Guadalupe National Park was created on 20 February 1989. In 1992, under the auspices of UNESCO, the Biosphere Reserve of the Guadeloupe Archipelago (Réserve de biosphère de l'archipel de la Guadeloupe) was created. As a result, on 8 December 1993, the marine site of Grand Cul-de-sac was listed as a wetland of international importance. The island thus became the overseas department with the most protected areas.

Earthquakes and tsunamis
The archipelago is crossed by numerous geological faults such as those of la Barre or la Cadoue, while in depth, in front of Moule and La Désirade begins the Désirade Fault, and between the north of Maria-Galante and the south of Grande-Terre begins the Maria Galante Fault. And it is because of these geological characteristics, the islands of the department of Guadeloupe are classified in zone III according to the seismic zoning of France and are subject to a specific risk prevention plan.

The 1843 earthquake in the Lesser Antilles is, to this day, the most violent earthquake known. It caused the death of more than a thousand people, as well as major damage in Pointe-à-Pitre.

On 21 November 2004, the islands of the department, in particular Les Saintes archipelago, were shaken by a violent earthquake that reached a magnitude of 6.3 on the Richter scale and caused the death of one person, as well as extensive material damage.

Image of Don Corneo and categorization
Oh I see. I'm quite new to Wikipedia, as well as all the Wiki projects, so I'm unfamiliar with some of the functions. Guess I should've read the Help pages ^^". I'll do that from now on. Thanks.

As for the image of Don Corneo. I did a Google Image search of "Don Corneo" and found it. The good news is that there are multiple links to it, but the bad news it that they are all down. Judging by the style of artwork, I can safely assume that the Artwork of Don Corneo was illustrated by Testuya Nomura, the character designer of Final Fantasy VII. It's style resembles that of the other "rare illustrations" of Jessie, Biggs and Wedge.

Llywelyn ap Gruffydd
Bore da a croeso i Wicipedia Saesneg. I've moved Llywelyn Ein Llyw Olaf ap Gruffydd back to the English title. Whilst I understand why you moved him, this is an English language Wikipedia, and page titles should reflect that. Take a look at Naming conventions, notably:
 * Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature.

I'm about to do the same to Rhodri Mawr ap Merfyn and Owain Gwynedd ap Gruffydd. Sorry 'n' all… — OwenBlacker 11:40, Nov 12, 2004 (UTC)

Clarifications in Final Fantasy...
I saw the list of common elements needed a clean up, but was I'm a bit rusty on the earlier games. Thanks for clearing that up, I think that first section looks great now. -- Guybrush 01:15, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Castlevania series template
Hello. I noticed you added a template to the Castlevania articles and it looks pretty good. However, Haunted Castle is usually considered to be a real Castlevania game, despite that name. Akumajō Dracula was the Japanese title of the games in the series until some time ago, and Hanted Castle also had that title, but for some reason, it was changed when it was released in the US.

That's why it's not just a "related" title. It's a legitimate Castlevania game (you can read about it here. You might have kept it down there in the template because it's not a console game, nor a handheld one, but in the case, the section should read something like "Miscelaneous", in my opinion. Not "Related titles". The "(arcade game)" part in the link can be also hidden, to improve looks.

I can change that myself, but first I'd like to hear your opinion. Thank you.--Kaonashi 02:32, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

FF Work
I like the work you've done in FFIII, and also in the template i created. My only question is would those additional FF7 games be counted as primary titles and why? ZeWrestler 3:14 EST 11 Jan 2005

 * No, they probably shouldn't be. I see you've gone ahead and created a spinoff section on the template: that seems to make the most sense. Thanks, and sorry for the confusion. Seancdaug 03:01, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)

 * Not a problem. I'm glad to see someone putting a lot of work in the final fantasy series, so confusion or not, its great to see the pages improved. ZeWrestler 12:30, 16 Jan 2005 EST

Computer role-playing game categorization
Category:Final Fantasy is a subcategory of the CRPG category so having the FF articles in CRPG is redundant. RedWolf 05:33, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)

Trevor_belmont.gif
I have deleted the Trevor_belmont.gif image, by your request. There's just something I'd like to inform you. When you want an image to be deleted, it's better to list it at Images and media for deletion, instead of Votes for deletion. That page is more appropriate for this kind of thing. Also, it's better to add the " " tag to images you want deleted, instead of the usual "  ". That one is the one used for images, not articles.

Anyways, I deleted the old Trevor portrait on sight because it was already obsoleted by the one you added, so I don't think there was the need of discussing over something small like this. I know image deletion has no turning back (like article deletion does), but discussing over this wasn't really necessary, I believe.--Kaonashi 00:33, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Doctor Who
I appreciate your contributions, but you should really read the articles (and the associated sub-articles) to make sure that you're not putting in duplicate information. I've had to remove such redundant info more than once already. Just FYI. -khaosworks 08:18, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I apologize for making the mistake earlier (esp. with the Evelyn Smythe article, as that was actually unintentional: I had been toying with rearranging the article for clarity, changed my mind, and thought I had set things back before submitting). But I do question the layout of the main article, specifically the "Format" section. I was fully aware that information regarding the TV movie and the webcasts were present elsewhere in the article, and hence I didn't go into great detail, but it seems that, in discussing the format of the series, it is important to mention the difference in format between the original series and the TVM (in the format section, no less). Or, at least, it did to me. Whatever.... – Seancdaug 08:49, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean, but it's also plain from the section that we are discussing the weekly series format. I also think that the article doesn't need to mention the TV movie again when it's already been mentioned earlier. Please do continue contributing, though. We'll reach a consensus eventually. :) -khaosworks 09:05, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

FF for GB
hey,

i was looking at the template that we did work on for ff and i was thinking that there are gameboy final fantasies in existance. do you think we should include some of those in the FF template? -ZeWrestler 20:10 17 Mar, 2005(UTC)

 * The problem is that GB Final Fantasy games aren't, technically speaking, Final Fantasy games (the three FF Legends being part of the SaGa series, and FF Adventure being part of the Seiken Densetsu series. For the purposes of keeping the template simple, I left them out: while they certainly could be included, on the basis that a large number of North American gamers are going to be aware of them as part of the series, they should probably be set off in their own section ("related titles" or something. But you should probably bring this up on the discussion page either at the main Final Fantasy article or for the template itself to see if anyone else has input. – Seancdaug 05:27, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

Washington Nationals
I am not to sure about your idea on the use of "Nats" nickname being derived for the second franchise form the Senators name. While you do make a compelling argument for the case, epically one that i would have not see or considered my self, i believe that the second franchise being called the Nats is more into relation of the first franchise being called the nationals. First the was no readjustment time between the first team leaving for Minnesota and the second team from coming in for sportswriters to start using Nats from the Senators, these were the same sportswriters covering the new Senators as the departed team. And if they were to derive a nickname from Senators I would put money on it being “Sens”, as is used in Ottawa with the NHL Ottawa Senators. Secondly I would think that the change you propose would have come earlier, the first franchise started using Senators on the jerseys in 1959 at least 2 years before the moved to Minnesota, I am not sure exactly when the team changed their name from Senators to Nationals, but from information that I have seen from interviews with sportswriters and broadcasters associated with Washington franchises state that the tame would have been call “Nats”, prior to ‘59 as well as following, making it’s usage for the second franchise more of a carry over from the original use rather then a new durative from “Senators”. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 05:23, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Ahh i see, and i agree with you on that point, so it more a question of the wording of what your trying to explain. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 05:47, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I caugit your new edit, and i though about a tewak."both out of tradition. It should be noted that while the term 'Nats' was derived from the frist franchise being called 'Nationals', that nickmame could also be contuiuned threw the 'Senators' as well."This Might clear up any ambugity that leads people like Wahkeenah going crazy, thoughts? --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 06:09, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Thats better, thanks for the colerbation, i hope you didn't mind to much, as for the other party involed, i wouln't bother even dealing with him, unless he makes a edit to the page, he seems to be a s-stirrer of some type. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 06:21, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Not trying to be a s-stirrer, whatever that is (writing with a stutter?) just too much of a perfectionist for my own good. Appy polly loggies for the overkill on this trivial point, and for the rant against public funding of stadiums. - W.

Hey, several of the newer ballparks have pools, showers, etc. If they put a swimming pool in D.C. would they call it a NATatorium???

 * Hey if you have any weblinks to back up the info, you might want to post them by the footnote, just so that it is their. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 22:21, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Well, it worked - to my surprise. Thanks for the support, and I'll do my best to live up to the responsibility and not wipe out the entire universe... well, or at least this little corner of it... in a fit of pique. Thanks again! --khaosworks 07:17, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

FFVII
Thanks for cleaning up the FFVII article. Before it was kind of a jumbled collection of facts about the game. Some time I was going to try and organise it, but you've done it for me.

You know, it's kind of funny to see such a big article on a video game in an encyclopedia.

Someone42 10:55, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

What do you think about submitting the Final Fantasy VII article for [peer-review], then hopefully have it be a [featured article]? Let me know your thoughts. Ereinion July 3, 2005 22:17 (UTC)

Sin (Final Fantasy) and image alignment
Mea culpa; thanks for the explanation. I am indeed using the Classic skin in WIkipedia - the three images in the article were being arranged in a horizontal row, and this had the effect of putting the article text in one thin column to the left of them. My "br clear=all" solved this for me, but I guess it was unnecessary if the images were stacked vertically. I think the recent edit which forces them to stack vertically is the best solution. (I don't understand why different skins would arrange article images differently, anyhows - maybe this is a WP bug.) - Brian Kendig 15:59, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Weapon (Final Fantasy)
What you did on Weapon (Final Fantasy) looks much better. I've been trying to find a way where we can include more images without it becoming a mess. Cheers! — Cuahl 5 July 2005 00:29 (UTC)

FFVII Reunion Tracks
I like your work, you're really into it, but recently, I had added the same audio samples as the Final Fantasy VII Original Soundtrack on the Final Fantasy VII Reunion Tracks page except for the last three tracks which are arranged orchestral versions. You let my orchestral versions but you removed the first 16 tracks which were the same as the Final Fantasy VII OST while I'm pretty certain that the 16 first tracks are not arranged versions but the same as the in-game tracks. You can consult that article here. Please answer as soon as possible, either here, on my talk page or on the discussion page of the reunion tracks. DarkEvil July 5, 2005 15:09 (UTC)

Final Fantasy uniformity?
Hey, I hope you don't mind me coming to you for this, but you are really the only other active Wikipedian who does a large job on the Final Fantasy series on articles. The thing is, I've been looking through the articles and deciding on where bits need expanding so I can fill in the gaps in the next couple of days and realised the articles aren't very uniform. I'm not obsessive or anything, but if we're taking it upon ourselves to look over the set it may as well be nice eh? Maybe we should make some standard? I keep seeing differences in which spelling of Aeris/Aerith to choose, when really the spelling should be specific to the article surely? (ie. the difference between Final Fantasy VII and Kingdom Hearts). Tell me what you think (even if you think I'm being OTT and need a break) — Cuahl 5 July 2005 21:02 (UTC)
 * In reply: Damn mention of the fact there's a pokedéx did it for me. Right well you might as well throw yourself in charge. I mean, there's enough FF articles for a project and they're expanding more and more. Sounds like a plan! Keep me informed mate — Cuahl 6 July 2005 01:45 (UTC)
 * Count me in on this. I've  been helping out as much as i could with FF articals.  I'll be glad to help out some more, especially if a project starts up. --ZeWrestler 6 July 2005 01:54 (UTC)
 * Then it definately sounds like a plan. It's 3am where I am (UK) so I'm gonna catch up on sleep, and I'll be in touch tomorrow. — Cuahl 6 July 2005 01:57 (UTC)

in reply: I'm already one step ahead of you. =) Added my name to the list.--ZeWrestler 6 July 2005 03:55 (UTC)

On the topic of the new project I've had an idea. Obviously it would be brilliant to have FA status on FF articles, and I was thinking maybe we could find a way of deciding when articles can't really be improved or added to. But that means it needs to be judged. Do you think it's worth looking into? You've been a Wikipedian much longer than I have and have certainly been editing FF longer than most so I thought I'd ask on your talk page — Cuahl 22:55, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Cuahl is asking about nominated articles other than games for the first FA selection. I put only games in the selection process, because of what you said in either your talk or his talk pages, and was taking your advice on it.  He brings up a good point in his argument.  I will yeild to your advice on whether or not we can include other articles in the vote.  So the desicion is up to you. --ZeWrestler 15:01, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Final Fantasy VII Terms article
Alright, Seancdaug. I'm more or less ready to dissolve the terms page. If I'm to merge the Lifestream, Mako, and Materia articles, what should the composite article be called? ~ Hibana

Final Fantasy Pray
Thanks for the info about the move. Yes, I just thought it was the complete name, but it seems I was wrong. I just picked the info from various websites, but the cover is clear about that. --DarkEvil 04:16, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

Gameboxes, Coverart etc. for Castlevania et. al.
Sean, good call on the "coverart gallery" on Castlevania: Lament of Innocence. I've uploaded quite a few CV images tonight, and for several articles ..that is a great idea for those games that have multiple platforms and/or multiple boxart images. You may see fit to "fix" other articles that I added these images to ...not that I'm asking you to "clean up" after me but its late and I'm tired and I may have not made the best choices on some of my picture placement :) I'll end up fixing some of this tomorrow.  Thanks again, --Naha|(talk) 04:20, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok I followed your lead and made a coverart gallery on the Castlevania: Bloodlines page, look! look! I did it right lol :) I am also surprised there is not more interest and coverage on the CV articles! /boggle.  I'll have to see what I can do as far as content ..when I'm more awake :)  --Naha|(talk) 04:43, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

Final Fantasy VI wins
Without a surpise, Final Fantasy VI won the featured article drive. I posted some info here about what we can do, but i think i'll deffinetly need comments from you on this one to help get the task moving. I also created a CVG peer review for the article. --ZeWrestler 12:27, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Take over FA drive
Can you took the lead on handeling the Featured Artical drive for getting FFVI into FA status. I had a bike accident yesterday that resulted in a concussion. I can barly concentrate right now, and I'm actually having my brother type this note to you for me. At the moment, i'm useless for major edits and revisions. Hopefully i'll be able to recover soon, and get back to work on the article with you guys. Thanks in advance.-- ZeWrestler  Talk 15:17, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism of History of South Africa in the apartheid era went undetected.
Hi -- I just noticed that some wholesale vandalism of the History of South Africa in the apartheid era a couple of days ago went undetected until today. An anon replaced the entire text of the article with the old text of the Apartheid article, including the bit about "diaspora Jews." Since this seems to have slipped under everyone's radar (including mine), and I don't know who has History of South Africa in the apartheid era on their watchlist, I thought I'd give you a heads up. --Bcrowell 18:26, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

finishing touches on Final Fantasy VI
Hey,

FFVI is finishing up its peer review. But help on the article has appear to start dropping a little bit. I haven't seen you around to help out recently, and I know you are on vacation, but when you get back, do you think you could go to the FFVI peer review and see if there are any changes/improvements you can make to the article? It would be to get your help on it. -- ZeWrestler  Talk 17:32, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

One look at FFVI before FAC
Hey, If you can, i'd really like you to take a look at the Final Fantasy VI article before i nominate it for FAC status. -- ZeWrestler  Talk 12:16, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Hey, great work on the revisions to the article. The image you added, Image:Ff6 amano tina.jpg needs to have Fair use rationale. Can you go ahead and add the rationale to the image? -- ZeWrestler   Talk 15:10, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

FAC
It has been almost 2 months since we had the featured article drive. Since then Final Fantasy VI has received a lot of work to get its status raised to FA. As of today, I have closed the peer review for the article and nominated the game for FAC, Featured article candidates/Final Fantasy VI. Please read the article over and vote appropriately. -- ZeWrestler  Talk 13:40, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * You have any suggestions how to deal with a link to the pasts requests for the article?-- ZeWrestler  Talk 21:35, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

I understand why you did what you did. You don't need to apologize. You explained the change perfectly in the FAC. If anything, ALTTP has made this a very debated FAC. I look forward to seeing the finished product when this is all complete. When you believe the time is correct you change your vote back, but otherwise, you changed it for the correct reason. -- ZeWrestler  Talk 00:08, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

FFVI Terra Table
Just to clarify, did you remove it because you personally don't think it belongs there, or because you think others will object to it during the FAC?

Wasn't Karl Hyde in Shriekback?

Untitled
Here's a link from discogs, that points out he was a former member. This information may be added to the Shriekback, Underworld article as I currently see no mention of this in either one.

He was on the Sacred City album, but I don't believe he was ever a full-fledged member of the band.

Many Themes in TV series "Lost"?
The current article says "The lyrics of the song contain many images and ideas used in the TV series Lost." That sounds like pareidolia. I've heard "Nemesis" many times and just re-read its lyrics, and I don't think there's anything to this claim. Lippard (talk) 15:06, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Anachronism
The article indicates that Oil & Gold was released on Arista, but the page for Oil & Gold indicates that it was released on Island. Furthermore, the Jam Science page indicates that album was released on Y and Arista. Given that Oil & Gold was the high water mark (according to the Oil & Gold page) for Shriekback, I'm moving the sentence about Shriekback not finding success on Arista to before the mention of Oil & Gold. Jamesfett (talk) 03:10, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Page for Oil & Gold has been edited with ref from discogs.com to show that it was released on Arista in the UK and rest of Europe, and on Island in USA. User:Mungefuddler123 15 September 2015 —Preceding undated comment added 01:44, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Reply to Li Shuyi

Reply to Li Shuyi is a poem written on May 11, 1957 by Mao Zedong to Li Shuyi, a friend of Mao's first wife Yang Kaihui and the widow of the executed Communist leader Liu Zhixun. In the poem, "poplar" refers to Yang Kaihui, whose surname Yang means "poplar", and who also had been executed; and "willow" is the literal meaning of Liu's surname. Wu Gang is a man who, according to Chinese legend, lives on the moon, and was forced by the gods to fell a laurel tree forever.

我失骄杨君失柳 杨柳轻扬直上重霄九 问讯吴刚何所有 吴刚捧出桂花酒
 * Original Chinese

寂寞嫦娥舒广袖 万里长空且为忠魂舞 忽报人间曾伏虎 泪飞顿作倾盆雨

Wǒ shī jiāo yáng jūn shī liǔ Yáng liǔ qīng yáng zhí shàng chóng xiāo jiǔ Wèn xùn wú gāng hé suǒ yǒu Wú gāng pěng chū guì huā jiǔ
 * Pinyin

Jì mò cháng'é shū guǎng xiù Wàn lǐ cháng kōng qiě wèi zhōng hún wǔ Hū bào rén jiān céng fú hǔ Lèi fēi dùn zuò qīng pén yǔ

I lost my proud poplar, and you your willow, Poplar and willow soar lightly to the heaven of heavens. Wu Kang, asked what he has to offer, Presents them respectfully with cassia wine.
 * Schram's English Translation

The lonely goddess in the moon spreads her ample sleeves To dance for these faithful souls in the endless sky. Of a sudden comes word of the tiger's defeat on earth, And they break into tears of torrential rain.

I lost my proud poplar and you your willow. As poplar and willow they soar straight up into the ninth heaven and ask the prisoner of the moon, Wu Gang, what is there. He offers them wine from the cassia tree.
 * Barnstone's English Translation

The lonely lady on the moon, Chang E, spreads her vast sleeves and dances for these good souls in the unending sky. Down on earth a sudden report of the tiger's defeat. Tears fly down from a great upturned bowl of rain.

 * EDIT 04:39, 4 October 2005 (UTC): It now looks like someone is on a personal rampage, they've now tagged Revision3 Studios for deletion!!

 * EDIT 04:33, 4 October 2005 (UTC): Checkout the discussion sections of the articles, there have been some very strange posts by a few people

 * EDIT 04:19, 4 October 2005 (UTC): hmm, I guess one of the people trying to delete the wiki's doesn't like this response (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Treelovinhippie#An%20idiot%20replies)

Well, I've been busy (or bored) in the last few days. So I decided I would do a bit of editting and article work on wikipedia.

The articles which first came to mind were some of my favourite technology/online podcasts and vidcasts. Those being: commandN, TWiT, Open Alpha, those from Revision3 Studios, Technically Tech and techPhile.

So I searched for a few and noticed that some where there, although lacking much information, so I editted them. I also found that a few podcast shows weren't even listed, so I added them in as well.

I thought I'd done a good job, until I notice THIS IDIOT (who obviously has something against these particular shows or podcasts in general) has tagged the articles for deletion:

 * commandN
 * Open Alpha
 * techPhile
 * Revision3

WTF?

Capoeira toques
Hi Capoeirista —

I like the idea for the article. However, I wonder if it might not be a good idea to merge it with Capoeira music, which is an article that really needs a work-over anyway? It might be good to see the songs and the toques together and how they influence play. Either way, if you're wanting to have a selection of sounds, here's one already: [[Media:Toque-de-angola.ogg|Toque-de-angola.ogg]]. If you've got a berimbau, feel free to add more! (I have one, but no way to record at the moment). — Asbestos | Talk   (RFC)  03:09, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I was going to put it in Capoeira music, but it, combined with all the songs, became unwieldy. I’m new here, but I think I read somewhere that style conventions favor multiple entries – read horizontally rather than vertically.

KOAI

KOAI (95.1 FM) is a commercial radio station, licensed to Sun City West, Arizona, and serving the Phoenix metropolitan area. The station is owned by Riviera Broadcasting, an subsidiary of the Yucaipa Companies. It broadcasts an oldies and classic hits radio format, featuring mostly hits from the 1960s, 70s and 80s. It primarily competes with Audacy-owned 94.5 KOOL-FM, which concentrates on 1980s hits, with some 70s and 90s titles.

KOAI has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 41,000 watts. The transmitter is in Crown King, Arizona, about 50 miles northwest of Phoenix, giving KOAI a rimshot signal in the metro area. Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator 94.9 K235CB in Chandler. The translator is fed by 103.9 KZON-HD2. The studios and offices are on 7th Street in Midtown Phoenix.

History
95.1 went on the air in 1996, licensed to Winslow, broadcasting from Mingus Mountain and covering areas of Northern Arizona. It was owned by Ted Tucker's Desert West Air Ranchers Corporation. Tucker moved the station in 2000 to the Crown King site (along with a change of city of license to Mayer, later changed again to Sun City West). It was sold in 2004 to Sun City Communications for $18.7 million. The new ownership flipped KFMR from a simulcast of Tucker's KCDX to the Hispanic rhythmic ("hurban") format as KVIB "The Vibe". As The Vibe, KVIB played a youth-oriented radio format playing both Spanish-language and English-language pop. The station's mix of music targeted the Valley's burgeoning young Latino population, particularly long-time residents who can speak English but prefer Spanish.

On January 23, 2014, KVIB changed its format to Spanish language adult contemporary, branded as "Solamente Éxitos" with a bilingual presentation.

On August 13, 2014, at noon, 95.1 flipped to Soft Adult Contemporary as 95.1 The Oasis, and nine days later, the station changed its call sign to KOAI. The last song of the Spanish AC format was "Royals" by Lorde with the first song on The Oasis being Cool Change by the Little River Band. The station played a Christmas music format for the 2014 holiday season, the second station in Phoenix after KESZ.

On April 9, 2015, 95.1 gained an FM translator, K235CB 94.9 on South Mountain, (licensed to Chandler), and also began simulcasting on the HD2 digital subchannel of KEXX.

In May 2015, KOAI adjusted its playlist to include more up-tempo selections from the 1990s through the present time, while still retaining a gold/soft AC-lean.

On June 5, 2015, while it was still a soft AC station, KOAI picked up Delilah's syndicated evening radio show. Delilah continued on the station through two additional format changes, first to a mainstream adult contemporary station, and then to classic hits. Delilah was discontinued on August 25, 2017, with evenings featuring more music.

On September 30, 2019, at 5PM, after playing "Addicted to Love" by Robert Palmer, KOAI changed its format from classic hits to a new format concept for baby boomers developed by veteran radio programmer John Sebastian. It originally blended pop, rock, soul, and country from a seven-decade span and branded as "The Wow Factor". The first song on The Wow Factor was "Ride My See-Saw" by The Moody Blues.

Mills E. Godwin High School

Mills Edwin Godwin High School is a public high school located in the West End region of unincorporated Henrico County, Virginia. The school is operated by Henrico County Public Schools.

Godwin High School opened in 1981, named in honor of Mills E. Godwin Jr. (1914–1999), the two-term governor of Virginia. There are close to 2,000 students in the student body.

Todd A. Phillips Center for Medical Sciences
The Science, Mathematics, and Technology Specialty Center, housed at Mills E. Godwin High School, opened in the fall of 1994. To be accepted into the center, students must pass a rigorous application process, during which approximately 50 students are selected from a pool usually exceeding 500, with an acceptance rate under 10%. Students who have not completed Algebra I with a "B+" grade or higher are ineligible to apply. The Specialty Center provides students the opportunity to pursue scientific and mathematical courses, and offers exclusive classes and electives for them to take. Electives include Genetics & Biotechnology, Organic & Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology, Anatomy & Physiology, and Biostatistics. There are six classrooms and two wet labs in the specialty center. Equipment includes a BSL 2 safety hood, an inverted microscope, a gas chromatograph, Genesis spectrophotometers, and a MyCycler PCR machine. On October 27, 2016, the Henrico County Public Schools School Board voted unanimously to rename the center in memorial of Todd A. Phillips, a former center teacher, and the first director of the newly designated Center for Medical Sciences, who was killed in a car accident in June 2016.
