GamesTM

GamesTM (styled as gamesTM) was a UK-based, multi-format video games magazine, covering console, handheld, PC and Arcade games. The first issue was released in December 2002 and the magazine was still being published monthly in English and German up until the last edition was published on 1 November 2018.

Format
Besides covering all current and recent happenings in the video game world, the magazine included a retro section at the rear, with reviews of past games and "battles" between older consoles.

As a standard, it was around 112 pages long. News articles, developer interviews and the like were located at the front, with the preview section following. After the previews there was usually a large feature focused on a particular game or games company. This feature normally lasted 4 to 5 pages. The section for readers' letters followed, at the end of the magazine.

Since it was a multi-format magazine, a large number of games on all formats were reviewed, although the majority of released games were not reviewed because of space and deadline restrictions.

Reviews
Reviewed games were given an overall score marked out of 10. While several games have received 9/10, only sixteen games in the magazine's history achieved the ultimate score of 10:

 * Metroid Prime
 * Burnout 3
 * Gears of War
 * God of War II
 * BioShock
 * Grand Theft Auto IV
 * Fallout 3
 * Demon's Souls
 * Mass Effect 2
 * Super Mario Galaxy 2
 * LittleBigPlanet 2
 * Dead Space 2
 * BioShock Infinite
 * Grand Theft Auto V
 * Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
 * Super Mario Odyssey

In addition, the online modes of Project Gotham Racing 2, Halo 3, LittleBigPlanet, Monster Hunter Tri and Halo: Reach all scored a 10, although the single-player of each title only received an 8 or 9.

The magazine had also started to review game related hardware on occasion as well as aspects of Xbox Live. These typically included games available for purchase on the Xbox Live Marketplace and various retail games with Live functionality.

History
In January 2006, the future of the magazine became uncertain after its publisher, Highbury Entertainment, went into administration with debts of GBP £27 million. No subscribers received issue #40 and the next issue (#41) did not appear in the shops, though it should have been out on 26 January 2006. At that time, the magazine's staff could not be contacted and calls to the subscription helpline led to an automated message that said all magazines had been sold. The magazine's website went offline but was available again a few days later.

On 20 January 2006, Imagine Publishing announced that it had acquired GamesTM along with 23 other Highbury titles.

Imagine Publishing has since announced that it will continue to publish GamesTM, resuming with issue #41 which was published in February 2006.

Issue #42 was released on 23 March 2006, with an explanation from its new editor in the introduction, stating that the magazine will undergo an evolution. The magazine has been published according to its usual monthly schedule since.

Issue #43 stated that the magazine would undergo an evolution. The magazine has been published according to its usual monthly schedule since.

In Issue #62, the "evolution" of the magazine proposed back in Issue #42 finally occurred, when it received its first major overhaul since its inception. Although the content of the magazine was largely unchanged, it received a complete visual makeover as well as the addition of two new regular segments: "Illustrated" pages that highlighted influential games from the past, and "Reader's View", which gave readers the chance to have their own articles featured in the pages of the magazine.

In 2006, GamesTM celebrated its 50th issue.

From 3 March 2008 to 2 December 2009, a German version of GamesTM was released on a (bi)monthly schedule in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

On 1 April 2008, the Dutch version of GamesTM was first released in the Netherlands and Belgium, with a scheduled 11 issues per year.

As of issue #68, GamesTM introduced "Industry"; a recruitment focused mini magazine built into the magazine that allows game developers, universities and colleges to advertise their job positions and related courses amongst industry focused news editorial and features.

In September 2010, GamesTM celebrated its 100th issue by releasing 100 different covers - limited to 400 prints of each - representing one of the magazine's 100 greatest games of all time.

GamesTM was acquired by Future Publishing alongside the entire Imagine Publishing portfolio in 2016. The last issue was published in November 2018, with Future explaining that the magazine was "no longer profitable".

Talk:The Elephant Man (film)

Page move
This page was moved from "The Elephant Man (movie)" to "The Elephant Man (film)" as per the naming convention set out at Naming conventions (films) – Ianblair23 16:26, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Sir John Gielgud
With regard to a recent edit, it is an accepted practice within the entertainment industry that honours are not mentioned for professional credits. Besides (Sir) John Gielgud, the film features (Sir) Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt (,CBE) and (Dame) Wendy Hiller. Over the Lucky Number Slevin mistake, Sir Ben Kingsley stated, "...It's not the way we work in this profession." (See here.) Chris 42 16:13, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Synopsis is not in chronological order, does this matter? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.231.165.19 (talk) 23:19, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Mel Brooks' Involvement
The current article states that "Brooks downplayed his involvement as he did not want the project to be perceived as a comedy." This statement is followed with "[citation needed]." The statement can be verified by a portion of an interview with Mel Brooks on the DVD for "The Elephant Man." Brooks' entire statement is as follows:

"Jonathan Sanger is the producer of The Elephant Man, and Stuart Cornfeld is one of the executive producers, I being the other, without portfolio, without name, because, very simply, if I put Mel Brooks' name on it - on the posters, or even on the screen before it ran - I knew it would be misconstrued and that the audience would think that this was some kind of a comedy..."

I hesitate to add this information as a citation to the Wikipedia article, for fear of violating Wikipedia's policy regarding "Biographies of Living Persons."

Jlongpre (talk) 06:20, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * A citation to an interview with the person in question is fine, and the fact that it's included on the official DVD extras suggests that his statements are taken seriously by the production company, so it's fine as a source. It's certainly an improvement over no source.-- Beloved Freak  17:07, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Reception
Why is Rotten Tomatoes mentioned at the start of this section? Rotten Tomatoes did not exist when the film was released. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pete3194 (talk • contribs) 12:02, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Rotten Tomatoes provides a summary of reviews, some (most?) of which will be contemporary to the film. That's not an argument for keeping the mention of RT in there, just an explanation of why it kicks off the reception sections of many articles.-- Beloved Freak  17:05, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

DVD peculiarity
The DVD releases of this film are devoid of the usual scene selection chapter stops. I think that Lynch wanted everyone to view it from the beginning and insisted upon this. WHPratt (talk) 16:33, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Which English?
Should this article be in American English (AmE) or British English (BrE)? I just reverted someone claiming that "theatre" was a typo, but actually when I look close there's quite a lot one could change. It's an American film, but a British topic. The editor who started the article was I think American but seems to have used no nationally-determined language, and the first I can find is "theatre" spelt thus; it seems to have stayed in BrE for some time. I'm not that fussed; I am sure that it would be just as odd for AmE users to have to read the film industry bits in BrE spellings as it is for me to read the plot synopsis in AmE. Consistency is important though. So, what do you think? Best wishes to all DBaK (talk) 18:47, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry for responding so late (people don't often read the talk pages here!). I think it's a matter of just picking one and putting a notice in the article. WhisperToMe (talk) 09:47, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Valuable ideas! Thanks! Veronica blood (talk) 11:33, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Oilliphéist

The Oilliphéist (ollphéist, ) is a sea serpent or dragon-like monster in Irish mythology and folklore.

These monsters were believed to inhabit many lakes and rivers in Ireland and there are many legends of saints and heroes fighting them. In one story, an Oilliphéist cuts the route of the River Shannon when it hears that Saint Patrick has come to drive out it and its kind. In a comic addition to the story, the monster swallows a drunken piper named Ó Ruairc (O'Rourke). The piper is either unaware of his predicament or is completely unperturbed and continues to play inside the Oilliphéist's stomach. The monster becomes so annoyed with Ó Ruairc's music that it coughs him up and spits him out. It is believed by Chris Cairney that this story and one involving Caoránach helped influence and inspire the legend of the Loch Ness Monster.

Other stories of the Oilliphéist exist. One has a girl named Sionnan, grand daughter of Manannán mac Lir, anger the Salmon of Knowledge by throwing stones at it. In revenge the fish summons and asks an Oilliphéist to attack the girl which it does and ultimately ends up killing her.

Caoránach
In Irish folklore, Caoránach (sometimes Caol) was an Oilliphéist and said to be the mother of demons who was banished by Saint Patrick to Lough Dearg in Donegal, Ulster.

According to earlier legend, Fionn mac Cumhaill and the Fianna were asked to slay a Hag in the Lough Dearg region. She was struck by an arrow from a large distance and as such her body was lost. Eventually the Fianna happened upon her body and were warned to not break the thigh bone as it would release a dangerous monster.

One person named Conan broke the bone and released a small hairy worm. This worm quickly grew into a large sea monster named Caoránach that began to eat the cattle in the land. After almost all the cattle in Ulster were eaten the locals blamed Conan for the trouble, enraged he entered the monsters mouth with a sword and killed it. Lough Dearg is named after the blood that came out of Caoránach dyes the rocks red.

In a more Christianised version of the story, Saint Patrick arrives to the area and is told about the monster's existence. He arrived at the region and continued to argue with the beast before slaying it himself. Its blood dyed the lake red and in some tales Saint Patrick then declared the lake should be called Lough Derg from then on. In some variants of the tale Saint Patrick failed at this and the monster lives in Lough Derg to this day.

Whiteshell Laboratories

The Whiteshell Laboratories, originally known as the Whiteshell Nuclear Research Establishment (WNRE) was an Atomic Energy of Canada (AECL) laboratory in Manitoba, northeast of Winnipeg. It was originally built as a home for the experimental WR-1 reactor, but over time came to host a variety of experimental systems, including a SLOWPOKE reactor (the SLOWPOKE Demonstration Reactor) and the Underground Research Laboratory to study nuclear waste disposal. Employment peaked in the early 1970s at about 1,300, but during the 1980s the experiments began to wind down, and in 2003 the decision was made to close the site. the site is undergoing decommissioning with a planned completion date in 2024. The decommissioning process for WR-1 involves transporting low-level nuclear waste to another Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) research site, Chalk River Laboratories in Ottawa for containment, and encasing the reactor in concrete. The details of this process continue to be criticized, evaluated, and revised.

Decommissioning has been delayed due to ongoing regulatory issues and safety concerns. Currently, 233 comments on the draft Environmental Impact (EI) Assessment have been filed by diverse stakeholders, covering concerns about impacts on the Winnipeg River, radiological inventory, grout, and concrete, assessing the potential impact of earthquakes, and the need for guidance from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In 2018 Sagkeeng First Nation (SFN) filed comments on the draft Environmental Impact Statement expressing concern that CNL failed to meaningfully consult SFN or adequately consider the Reactor-1 decommissioning project’s impacts on Treaty Rights. SFN also expressed concern that the Canadian Nuclear Safety Committee (CNSC) did not fulfill its obligation to the Canadian public to include them in the consultation process or adequately inform the public of the difficulties regarding the long-term management of radioactive wastes. In April 2023, decommissioning stopped completely due to deficient emergency preparedness procedures. Before the WR-1 decommissioning project can resume it must pass a multiphase restart program determined by the CNSC.

History
In the late 1950s, Atomic Energy Canada Limited (AECL) was planning an aggressive expansion of their experimental reactor designs. Among a number of proposals were versions of the heavy water reactor concept using alternate cooling arrangements including oil and boiling water. Their existing research site at the Chalk River Laboratories outside Ottawa appeared to be "at saturation" and too small to host all the planned experiments.

Considering their options, it was noted that only three provinces did not already host some sort of major federal lab, Newfoundland, Alberta and Manitoba. Newfoundland was eliminated, and Alberta already had an oil and gas industry and did not need more energy experiments. So, the decision was made to build in Manitoba. A preliminary site survey was carried out by Shawinigan Engineering (later part of Lavalin, today part of SNC-Lavalin). This was followed by meetings between AECL president J.L. Gray and Manitoba premier Dufferin Roblin.

In November 1959, Gray reported to the AECL board that a site on the Winnipeg River near the Seven Sisters Generating Station appeared to be suitable, along with a report from the federal government's housing agency that a new town site could be developed nearby. As the town was on the border of the Whiteshell Provincial Park, they named the lab Whiteshell. Manitoba was responsible for building a new bridge over the Winnipeg River and maintaining roads and other services. The town was developed as Pinawa, some distance to the southeast of the lab site.

A deal was signed on 21 July 1960, creating the Whiteshell Nuclear Research Establishment (WNRE). The site was selected to host the Organic-Cooled Deuterium-Reactor Experiment (OCDRE), which later became known as WR-1. The design needed to be ready for construction to start in April 1962. General Electric Canada built the reactor over a period of three years ending in June 1965, and the reactor achieved criticality on 1 November 1965. The idea of an oil-cooled version of the CANDU was eventually abandoned in 1972, and from then on the WR-1 was operated at low power settings in a purely experimental program.

Whiteshell led the development of the SLOWPOKE reactor, starting in 1967. However, the first example, SLOWPOKE-1, was built at Chalk River and reached criticality in 1970. Over the next decade, several SLOWPOKE-2 reactors were sold around the world. A larger version, SLOWPOKE-3, was designed to supply 10,000 kW of hot water for district heating. The SLOWPOKE Demonstration Reactor (SDR) was built at Whiteshell in the 1980s to test this concept. The project was terminated after market interest in a nuclear heating system dwindled, and the SDR reactor at Whiteshell remained the only SLOWPOKE-3 reactor ever built. The construction of SDR at Whiteshell began 1985 and the reactor started operation 1987 and was shut down 1989 and was decommissioned. Other major facilities included shielded hot cell facilities, research laboratories and radioactive waste management areas including the Whiteshell Used Fuel Storage Facility.

In 1974, AECL began an extensive program in nuclear waste disposal. Their general program would involve burial to shield the fuel for about three hundred years while the majority of the gamma ray sources burned out, followed by a much longer period of physical isolation, not necessarily underground, to ensure the remaining radionuclides did not enter the water supply. AECL eventually decided the entire waste storage period should be underground. They found a suitable test site in Canadian Shield rock about 16 km northwest of the main Whiteshell site. This led to the construction of the Underground Research Laboratory (URL) whose primary concern was measuring the stability of hard-rock burial and potential groundwater exchange. The facility was decommissioned and deliberately flooded in 2010 to perform one final experiment to examine how mine seals work in a water environment.

Other programs on the main site included the Containment Test Facility (CTF) that examined potential hydrogen explosion sources in the CANDU reactors, and the Large-Scale Vented Combustion Test Facility (LSVCTF) that examined the actual explosions. Work at these sites concluded that by following some basic precautions the possibility of such an explosion in a CANDU was remote, and was used to test the Passive Autocatalytic Recombiners (PAR) system developed to scavenge trace amounts of hydrogen that might be present. The PAR would go on to be a successful export product for AECL.

Starting in 1984, Whiteshell began a collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) to develop a nuclear battery for powering the North Warning System radars. This developed into an active generator using an Organic Rankine cycle generator.

Whiteshell ran a number of life sciences programs over the years. In 1966, two 19 m diameter plastic-lined "ponds" were built, one of which held a cesium-137 source. The ten-year program measured the spread of the caesium in the water, and by comparing the two ponds, its effect on the life forms in them. In 1973 they constructed the Field Irradiator Gamma (FIG) experiment, which fenced off a 1 km area of forest and exposed it to a powerful cesium-137 gamma radiation source in a central tower. The program ran until 1986, and concluded that it required 100,000 times the natural background to kill pine trees. A similar experiment started the next year in 1974, the ZEUS (Zoological Environment Under Stress) experiment, which set aside six 1-hectare meadow areas in 1974 and carried out long-term radioactive releases to measure the results. They were mostly interested in the effects on meadow voles, but did not reach any conclusions.

In 1998, AECL decided to close Whiteshell Laboratories and many of the facilities and activities have since ceased active operation. , many of the original facilities are shut down, but work on WR-1 is ongoing. The site is planned to be entirely decommissioned by 2024.

Decommissioning Process Whiteshell Laboratories is currently operated under a decommissioning license issued by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Committee (CNSC) on January 1, 2020. This license expires December 31, 2024. The reactor site is in a “storage-with-surveillance” phase during its ongoing decommissioning process. Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) has proposed an in situ decommissioning plan, meaning the reactor will be left in place. This method aligns with the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) safety regulations for in-situ decommissioning. The IAEA does not identify all nuclear facilities to be eligible for in-situ decommissioning. Some factors that make WR-1 eligible for this process include its location underground, the fact that it does not contain large quantities of long-lived isotopes, and that it can easily be monitored during the post-closure control period. All radioactive liquids and fuels will be removed and transported to Chalk River Laboratories in Ottawa. The contaminated lower structure of the reactor will be encapsulated. This involves sealing the structure with grout and encasing it in concrete in order to contain any remaining radioactive material for a regulated period of control under CNL. All above ground structures will be removed, and a specialized cover will be installed over the sealed lower structure. In addition to these measures, several wells will be dug at strategic locations around the reactor site in order to monitor groundwater conditions.

Environmental Assessment The Canadian Nuclear Safety Committee (CNSC) is legally obligated by the Impact Assessment Act (IAA) to review all proposed nuclear projects in Canada and carefully assess their potential impacts on nearby communities and the environment. The IAA requires the consideration of economic, social, health, and environmental impacts—both positive and negative of the project on question. The WR-1 decommissioning project also requires collaboration with the CNSC under the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA). While the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada requires Indigenous engagement in the early planning of the project, it is understood that the role of the CNSC is to provide technical knowledge to all parties involved. Impact Assessments (IA) are conducted under the authority of the Impact Assessment Agency, while Environmental Assessments (EA) in this case fall under the responsibility of the CNSC. The scope of assessment of an IA is broader, encompassing several facets of sustainability; health, gender, impacts on Indigenous rights, socioeconomic impacts, and environmental impacts. The scope of an EA is much narrower, only focusing on environmental factors. In order to clarify the collaborative responsibilities of the CNSC, a Memorandum of Understanding was created with the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada. In eight annexes it defines the responsibilities of both the CNSC and the IAA to be information sharing and notification, public participation and engagement, appointment of rosters and review panels, and Crown consultation. The EA for the WR-1 project commenced May 16, 2016, and passed a completeness check on January 19, 2023, after CNL and CNSC evaluated comments made on the draft EA and consulting further with First Nations and the Manitoba Metis Federation. The next step of the review process involves technical review by the Federal, Provincial, Indigenous Review Team (FPIRT) that may last up to a year. Following this period, a public hearing will be conducted, and the final draft of the project will be drawn up.

Indigenous Involvement The involvement of indigenous communities has been an ongoing challenge throughout the planning and assessment stages of the WR-1 decommissioning project. Indigenous consultation is required under the Impact Assessment Act (IAA) and the CNSC also has obligations to consult. Sagkeeng First Nation (SFN) and the Manitoba Metis Federation (MMF) have filed 29 comments on the draft Environment Assessment (EA) between 2017 and 2018. The main themes of these comments are Public and Aboriginal Consultation, CNSC Impartiality, and Decommissioning Waste Policies. In January 2015 SFN alerted CNL that they felt it was failing in its obligation to meaningfully include them in the consultation process, ignoring Treaty rights and community interests or concerns.  SFN asserted that their right to free, prior, and informed consent demanded a more serious level of commitment from the Crown, citing inadequate funding in order to participate in the EA being conducted. Because of SFN’s proximity to the WR-1 site, their concerns of radioactive waste leaching into their environment remain high. SFN also stated that they were not informed of alternative methods to the in-situ decommissioning proposal and were excluded from the alternatives assessment process. CNL maintains that the proposed in-situ decommissioning method is low-risk compared to alternative methods such as continued storage and surveillance, and complete dismantling of the reactor, stating that risks of in-situ decommissioning are low when compared to the CNSC’s limits. The WR-1 decommissioning project represents the first instance of permission being granted to dispose of nuclear waste in an irretrievable, permanent manner, and several shareholders including SFN remain concerned about the implications of structural failure resulting in contamination. Several commenters noted CNSC’s obligation to inform and consult not only First Nations, but members of the public as well.  In response to these comments, CNL and CNSC reached out to SFN and other First Nations to discuss the potential impacts of the project and potential mitigation efforts. Polling in the Lac du Bonnet area was conducted to assess the sentiments of citizens regarding the proposal. On August 9, 2023, the MMF signed a five-year agreement with CNL to establish cooperation between the two organizations.<Manitoba Metis Federation (2023, August 11). The Manitoba Metis Federation and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories Sign Five-year Contribution Agreement.>  The agreement took two years to finalize, and the goal of the agreement is to facilitate a more productive relationship during the ongoing WR-1 decommissioning project, as well as any future nuclear projects. The agreement includes the creation of a liaison position within the MMF, as well as a yearly leadership meeting, and Red River Metis inclusion in an Indigenous Advisory Committee.<Manitoba Metis Federation (2023, August 11). The Manitoba Metis Federation and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories Sign Five-year Contribution Agreement.> A communications protocol has been developed for reportable events, and all communication between parties is to be conveyed in plain language. The MMF will be included in the environmental monitoring of the WR-1 site after decommissioning, facilitated by creation of the MMF-led Harvester Sample Collection Program. This program allows the MMF to steward a key portion of their traditional territory and creates opportunities for citizens to be involved in the WR-1 monitoring process.<Manitoba Metis Federation (2023, August 11). The Manitoba Metis Federation and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories Sign Five-year Contribution Agreement.>

Claremont Review of Books

The Claremont Review of Books (CRB) is a quarterly review of politics and statesmanship published by the conservative Claremont Institute. A typical issue consists of several book reviews and a selection of essays on topics of conservatism and political philosophy, history, and literature. Authors who are regularly featured in the Review are sometimes nicknamed "Claremonsters."

The editor is Charles R. Kesler. The managing editor is John Kienker, and the senior editor, William Voegeli. Joseph Tartakovsky is a contributing editor. Contributors have included William F. Buckley Jr., Harry V. Jaffa, Mark Helprin (a columnist for the magazine), Victor Davis Hanson, Michael Anton, Diana Schaub, Gerard Alexander, David P. Goldman, Allen C. Guelzo, Joseph Epstein, Hadley P. Arkes, and John Marini.

History
Legal scholar Ken Masugi was editor of the first iteration of the Claremont Review of Books which existed for just under two years in the mid-1980s. According to Jon Baskin, writing in the Chronicle of Higher Education, it "looked more like a college newspaper," and had about 600 subscribers.

The Review was re-established in 2000 under the editorship of Charles R. Kesler in what The New York Times described as "a conservative, if eclectic, answer to The New York Review of Books." In 2017 it had about 14,000 subscribers.

Political positions
According to historian George H. Nash, the editors and writers at Claremont are Straussian intellectually, heavily influenced by the ideas of Leo Strauss and his student Harry V. Jaffa. In their view, the Progressive Era culminating in the Presidency of Woodrow Wilson marked an ideological and political repudiation of political ideals of the Constitution and the American Founders, replacing a carefully limited government with government by experts and bureaucrats who were insulated from popular consent. They saw similar threats in the presidency of Barack Obama.

The Review took a pro-Trump position during the 2016 election campaign, with an article by Charles Kessler criticizing the Never Trump movement. "Conservatives care too much about the party and the country to wash our hands of this election," he wrote. "A third party bid would be quixotic.". Nevertheless, the Review published articles by both Trump supporters and "Never Trumpers" during the 2016 campaign, moving after his election to a thoroughly pro-Trump position. According to the New York Times, in the spring of 2017 the Review was "being hailed as the bible of highbrow Trumpism."

Jon Baskin understood the Review 's pro-Trump stance as "an expression of the belief that conservative intellectuals can cut a path between the East Coast Straussians' political reticence and the ineffectual tinkering of the think tankers," but was at a loss to explain "how a group so attached to the principles of the Constitution could place its faith in the author of The Art of the Deal." According to senior editor William Voegeli, the reason lies in Kesler's scholarly examination of the origins of American progressivism. In a series of articles and in his book I Am the Change: Barack Obama and the Future of Liberalism, Kesler has argued that Woodrow Wilson and the first generations of American technocrats with PhDs earned at American universities produced the modern American "administrative state." To Kesler and the other Claremonsters, the administrative state has not only produced a series of costly and ineffective social programs, it has eroded democratic norms, substituting the shallow certainties of social science. In Baskin's phrasing, "one of the things that is most disturbing about Trump for liberal and conservative elites (including some East Coast Straussians)—his utter disdain for expertise and convention—is what is most promising about him from the point of view of the Claremonsters." As Voegeli put it, "Our view is that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, whereas progressives are inclined to think that government derives just powers from the expertise of the experts."

During the George W. Bush administration, the Review "made a conservative case against the war in Iraq."

Notable articles
Kesler's "Democracy and the Bush Doctrine" was reprinted in an anthology of conservative writings on the Iraq War, edited by Commentary Managing Editor Gary Rosen. The CRB was party to a high-profile exchange in Commentary between Editor-at-Large Norman Podhoretz and CRB editor Charles R. Kesler and CRB contributors and Claremont Institute senior fellows Mark Helprin and Angelo M. Codevilla over the Bush Administration’s conduct of the Iraq War.

In September 2016, two months before the US 2016 presidential election, the Review published an online-only article entitled "The Flight 93 Election." Written by Michael Anton under a pseudonym, the essay compared the election to choices that faced the passengers on Flight 93, one of the four hijacked planes used in the September 11th attacks. When the article was read by Rush Limbaugh on his radio show, the sudden surge in demand to read it crashed the CRB website. Addressing an audience of Republicans and Never-Trump conservatives, Anton argued that allowing the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton to become president by abstaining from voting was the equivalent of not charging the cockpit.

Vo0

Sander Kaasjager (born 21 June 1985), who plays under the pseudonym Vo0 (pronunciation: ), is a Dutch professional player of the first-person shooter games Painkiller, Quake II, Quake III , Quake 4, Quake Live and Quake Champions, as well as the MMORPG World of Warcraft. He has won the most titles and prize money from professional Painkiller tournaments out of all other players, having won over US$250,000.

Career
Originally starting with Quake II, Kaasjager later rose to widespread popularity with the release of a self-made highlight montage (or "frag video") from the game Challenge ProMode Arena, which showcases his unique aggressive style of playing.

Kaasjager played Painkiller for esports team Fnatic. Kaasjager won two world championship titles in 2004, one with CPL and one with ESWC,. In 2005, Kaasjager competed in the 2005 CPL World Tour, in which he won at five out of nine stops and earned $223,000. Kaasjager was named the Most Valuable Player of the tour. He played in the finals of the CPL World Tour against Fatal1ty but ended up losing.

When the Cyberathlete Professional League, World Series of Video Games, and other tournaments dropped Painkiller in favor of Quake 4, Kaasjager took a break from professional gaming starting from June 21, 2006, to pursue his studies for the upcoming college semester. He made a comeback to competitive gaming on April 30, 2007, participating in the World of Warcraft competition of the World Series of Video Games representing Fnatic once again.

After retiring, he has been known to play Challenge ProMode Arena, Warsow, QuakeWorld, Quake Live, and evading Thunderfury binding drops.

In 2017, at age 32, Kaasjager returned from retirement and finished in second place at the Quake World Championship 2017.

Hérault (river)

The Hérault (Erau) is a river in southern France. Its length is 147.6 km. Its source is on the slopes of Mont Aigoual in the Cévennes mountains. It reaches the Mediterranean Sea near Agde.

Name
The river was known in Latin as Arauris (or Araura by Strabo). The name is sometimes considered Pre-Celtic although the element Ara- suggests a Celtic root.

Towns

The Hérault flows through the following departments and towns:
 * Gard: Valleraugue.
 * Hérault (named after the river): Ganges, Pézenas (nearby), Agde.

Navigation
The lower reaches of the Hérault, from Bessan to the sea at Agde, are navigable. The lowest 2.5 km are tidal, whilst the next 1 km forms part of the Canal du Midi. These two sections of the river are linked to each other, and to the Canal du Midi to the west, by short junction canals and the famous Agde Round Lock.

At the upper end of the section of the Hérault used by the Canal du Midi, the Prades Lock provides access to the Canal du Midi to the east. Above this lock, the river is navigable for a further 4 km or so.

Larry Young (musician)

Larry Young (also known as Khalid Yasin [Abdul Aziz]; October 7, 1940 – March 30, 1978) was an American jazz organist and occasional pianist. Young's early work was strongly influenced by the soul jazz of Jimmy Smith, but he later pioneered a more experimental, modal approach to the Hammond B-3.

Biography
Born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, United States, Young attended Newark Arts High School, where he began performing with a vocal group and a jazz band. He was also the cousin of the drummer Jimmie Smith.

Young played with various R&B bands in the 1950s, before gaining jazz experience with Jimmy Forrest, Lou Donaldson, Kenny Dorham, Hank Mobley and Tommy Turrentine. Recording as a leader for Prestige from 1960, Young made a number of soul jazz discs, Testifying, Young Blues and Groove Street. When Young signed with Blue Note around 1964, his music began to show the marked influence of John Coltrane. In this period, he produced his most enduring work. He recorded several times as part of a trio with guitarist Grant Green and drummer Elvin Jones, who were occasionally augmented by additional players. Most of these albums were released under Green's name, though Into Somethin' (with Sam Rivers on saxophone) became Young's Blue Note debut. Unity, recorded in 1965, remains his best-known album; it features a front line of Joe Henderson and the young Woody Shaw. Subsequent albums for Blue Note (Contrasts, Of Love and Peace, Heaven On Earth, Mother Ship) also drew on elements of the 1960s avant-garde and utilised local musicians from Young's hometown of Newark. Young then became a part of some of the earliest fusion groups: first on Emergency! with the Tony Williams Lifetime (with Tony Williams and John McLaughlin) and also on Miles Davis's Bitches Brew. His sound with Lifetime was made distinctive by his often very percussive approach and regular heavy use of guitar and synthesizer-like effects. He is also known for a jam he recorded with rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix, which was released after Hendrix's death on the album, Nine to the Universe.

In March 1978, he checked into a hospital for stomach pains. He died there on March 30, 1978, while being treated for what is said to be pneumonia. However, the actual cause of his death is unclear.

Patric Verrone

Patric Miller Verrone (born September 29, 1959) is an American television writer and labor leader. He served as a writer and producer for several animated television shows, most notably Futurama.

Schooling and pre-television career
Verrone graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College in 1981 where he was an editor of the Harvard Lampoon. He graduated from Boston College Law School in 1984 after serving as editor of the Boston College Law Review. He practiced law in Florida and California before becoming a television writer.

Career in television
Verrone began his career as a variety show writer, which included a late 1980s job as a monologue writer for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Shortly after his work on The Tonight Show, Verrone wrote for the popular animated program Rugrats in 1991. From there, he worked for the entirety of The Critic's run on television, before moving on to write for Muppets Tonight (for which he won an Emmy ) and Pinky and the Brain. Eventually, Verrone became a major contributor for Futurama. Subsequently, he wrote an episode of The Simpsons (Milhouse of Sand and Fog (2005)), developed the Cartoon Network series Class of 3000 (including writing the pilot episode Home (2006)), and co-executive produced all four feature- length Futurama direct-to-DVD movies.

The Critic
While editor of The Harvard Lampoon, Verrone met writers Al Jean and Mike Reiss. Jean and Reiss, who had just served as co-show runners for The Simpsons, were creating a new animated show called The Critic. They asked Verrone to work on it and, as he says, "[He] could hardly refuse."

While working on two seasons of The Critic, Verrone would serve as co-producer and writer of three episodes:

 * 1) "A Pig Boy and His Dog"
 * 2) "All the Duke's Men"
 * 3) "I Can't Believe It's a Clip Show"

Futurama
Verrone has written for Futurama since the first season. The fourth season episode "The Sting," written by Verrone, garnered nominations for an Emmy Award, Annie Award and a Writers Guild of America Award. In the original series, Verrone served as producer for fifty-nine episodes, but has been co-executive producer since the series' fifth season. Verrone has also scripted seven issues of Futurama Comics, published by Bongo Comics.

Verrone's writing credits for Futurama include:

 * "A Fishful of Dollars" 1ACV06 (1999)
 * "I Second That Emotion" 2ACV01 (1999)
 * "A Clone of My Own" 2ACV10 (2000)
 * "The Problem with Popplers" 2ACV15 (2000) – teleplay; story by Darin Henry
 * "That's Lobstertainment!" 3ACV08 (2001)
 * "A Leela of Her Own" 3ACV16 (2002)
 * "The Sting" 4ACV12 (2003)
 * "Bender's Game (Part 4)" 5ACV12 (2008) – teleplay with David X. Cohen
 * "Attack of the Killer App" 6ACV03 (2010)
 * "Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences" 6ACV11 (2010)
 * "Ghost in the Machines" 6ACV19 (2011)
 * "Decision 3012" 7ACV03 (2012)
 * "31st Century Fox" 7ACV11 (2012)
 * "Saturday Morning Fun Pit" 7ACV19 (2013)
 * "The Impossible Stream" 8ACV01 (2023)

Writers Guild of America, West
On October 23, 2002, The Animation Writers Caucus (AWC) of the Writers Guild of America, West awarded Verrone a Lifetime Achievement honor of the Animation Writing Award.

In 2005, Verrone was elected president of the Writers Guild of America, West with 68 percent of the vote, after pledging to devote up to 30 percent of the Guild's budget to organizing writers in reality television, animation, cable, and independent film. He had previously served as secretary-treasurer for the organization and on the board of directors.

Reelected president with more than 90 percent of the vote in September 2007, Verrone subsequently led the Writers Guild through a strike from November 5, 2007, to February 12, 2008.

Verrone could not seek reelection in 2009 due to term limits under union rules. John Wells, a former WGAw president from 1999 to 2001, won the election to succeed him. In 2011, Verrone ran for a third term for president, and lost to Chris Keyser by a 20 percent margin. In 2013, Verrone ran for and was elected to a seat on the union's board of directors.

In 2019, Verrone was on the negotiating committee for the "WGA-Agency Agreement", and joined other WGA members in firing his agents as part of the guild's stand against the ATA after the two sides were unable to come to an agreement on a new "Code of Conduct" that addressed the practice of packaging.

Historical figurines business
Aside from his work with the WGA and on television, Verrone also sculpts, paints, and sells historical figurines. His LinkedIn bio states:

"I spend eight hours a day running a Hollywood labor union, eight hours making a living writing and producing television animation or sculpting and selling historical figurines on eBay, leaving eight hours to eat, sleep, and spend time with my wife and kids."

The figurines are made to match sets made by Louis Marx and Company in the 1950s and 1960s.

Verrone has crafted the associate justices currently serving on the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as all the other Chief Justices, and a few historically significant and recent justices. He says his long term intention is to create a figurine of each of the 110 justices in the Court's history.

He also has sculpted figurines of the eight U.S. Presidents that Marx never made, every major party presidential nominee since 1944, and a series of famous American figurines including Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Mark Twain, and Frederick Douglass.

Personal life
In 1989, Verrone married television writer and novelist Maiya Williams. They have three children and live in Pacific Palisades, California.

Political candidacy
In March 2014, Verrone became a candidate for California State Senate in SD 26 on the west side of Los Angeles. Other candidates included former assembly member Betsy Butler and women's reproductive rights advocate Sandra Fluke. Verrone lost in the primary to Ben Allen (D) and Sandra Fluke (D).

Talk:1979 Atlantic hurricane season

Elena and Frederic
You know what's weird? Elena reached tropical storm strength on August 30th at 18z. Frederic formed on August 30th at 12z! Why wasn't Frederic Elena and vice versa? Was Fred upgraded operationally after Elena or something? Hurricanehink 16:31, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * http://www.weather.unisys.com/hurricane/atlantic/1979/ELENA/track.dat Best Track for Elena
 * http://www.weather.unisys.com/hurricane/atlantic/1979/FREDERIC/track.dat Best Track for Frederic

 * You're right, it must have been caught later. That would have changed a lot of infamous storms...the domino effect would have been:

 * If Frederic was Elena and retired as that name, then Elena (1985) would have been some other E name, and we'd have Erika on the list right now as it is (next use 2009). Alternatively, Erika could have been the immediate replacement name, and we'd have a different name on the list right now.
 * If Elena was Frederic and the name Frederic stayed on, we would have had three more Frederics...what was Hurricane Fabian in 2003 would have been Hurricane Frederic, and likely Fabian on the 2009 list (replacing Frederic for Fred immediately wouldn't have happened).

 * CrazyC83 20:32, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

1979 Hurricane Name List
"The 1979 Atlantic Hurricane Season was the first season to use a full list of pre-chosen names since naming of storms began." This assertion is refuted by the existence of other lists of pre-designated names before 1979. List_of_previous_tropical_cyclone_names

This would make 1979 season article almost imageless. It would lokk pretty bad. juan andrés 04:37, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I am having a problem with the last 14 storms of 1933 for its button bar-lack of info-could you find some.HurricaneCraze32 17:32, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

 * There's no need for a 1933 button bar. This site has tracking info for all 21 storms, but no information on damages/deaths. I think that is what you are looking for, though I see no real need for one. Hurricanehink 21:48, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I was right in the 1st 7 storms (2H,5TS)-Thanks for the help.HurricaneCraze32 12:15, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry. We want them them, but there's nothing. The website that provided images for many of the 80's and 90's seasons only goes back to 1983, and 1981-2 was from the monthly weather review. If anyone has anything, let us know! However, I've spent many a time searching and no go. Hurricanehink 02:34, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I've also have been searching, but nothing. juan andrés 03:19, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Great find! I wonder if, because it is a US satellite (NASA), it would qualify for public domain? --Hurricanehink ( talk ) 12:46, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Q: Do I need written permission?

A: No. Our "blanket permission" in the copyright statement on the inside cover of our journals provides for the use of figures and brief excerpts without formal written permission provided you acknowledge the source of the material. Therefore, written permission is not needed.

This is from the FAQ page on AMS' website. What do you think? Does this mean the pics are useable? Jake52 My talk 22:32, 10 July 2006 (EST)

 * I don't know. You should ask User:Titoxd. He's generally good with thse types of things. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:43, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The pictures are not explicitly released under a free license, so they cannot be uploaded to commons; that said, we have an extremely strong fair use argument here, as they are the only images available of their kind, and serve to illustrate the subject in a way that they would not infringe upon their commercial resale value. As a result, we could upload them under WP:FU (make sure to have a written rationale for any image you upload!) However, what would be ideal is for someone to ask the AMS whether they can actually be used on Wikipedia under attribution—meaning that they are available to be released under a license that allows commercial redistribution, such as the images listed on WP:IT.

Found Something Interesting
I was recently visiting the site where the images of Hurricanes Greta and Belle came from (the ones that were blue) and stumbled on an odd picture. The picture showed Hurricane David...err what WOULD become David (a tropical wave in the picture) and noticed the picture caption said it was taken on July 23rd. While looking at the picture, I noticed little bunch of convection. According to the date of the picture and most of the data on the season, that bunch is where Claudette was at the time. My question is this: Is that convective mess what we know as Tropical Storm Claudette (1979)? Jake52

 * Looks like it. Good work! Hurricanehink ( talk ) 13:32, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Actualy, scratch that. The site says it was taken on September 23, 1979, but David formed well before that. In fact, only one (sub)tropical storm formed after it. I'm not sure why they say David, but I now seriously doubt that this was a precursor to Claudette. If the date was wrong, but it was still David as a tropical wave, it still can't be Claudette. David moved off the coast of Africa on August 22. Given its location, I would guess the picture was taken on August 23, almost a full month after Claudette dissipated. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 13:37, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I see. Must've gotten a little confused there. Well, all I can say is the search is on...again. Jake52

 * LOL, good luck. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:36, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

What's needed for B-Class
Well? There was one tropical depression apparently and I added it.Mitchazenia (8600+edits) 01:34, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, sourcing everything, expanding all storm histories, season summary. I don't know, do you need more? Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:31, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Pretty much done. Strike that, found info on depressions, now must add. Man, that was hard, look how active this season was and it is sourced 27 depressions, 9 storms, 7 hurricanes, 2 major. Now is it B?Mitchazenia (8600+edits) 18:27, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

 * No. The sections are still very short, and the writing overall isn't that good. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 03:01, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Well here's something- I used your calculator and got a 2006 USD lower than whats mentioned at only $11.11 billion not $12.1 billion.Is this legit or not?Forgot to mention- i used the 4.27 billion and I also used the updated one with TD2's damage.Mitchazenia (almost 8800+edits) 17:21, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Reports
Why does Claudette, Henri and STS 1 have pics from the MWR and not an actual report?Mitchazenia (8600+edits) 01:34, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I would guess one of two reasons. First, it's possible they made a report back in 1979, but by the time 1997 came around they lost the report for inclusion so they used the MWR - pretty unlikely but it is 18 years. Second, they might not have issued a report. For Claudette, maybe they didn't have sufficient information until several months after the storm, meaning they might have just prepared it for the MWR. After all, the MWR is, in some seasons, a more-or-less copy of the preliminary reports with some post-season changes. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:37, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

All of these Tropical Depressions
Hi there, I really doubt that there were 85 "tropical systems" exisiting during this season wouldn't that be the 2005 Atlantic Season so Mitchazenia I highly think that you are putting up fake ones. Miracle55star ( talk ) 23:18, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure about 85 tropical systems (probably total number of tropical waves tracked), but the depressions put in the article are legitimate. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:26, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

 * That would almost be correct - the report mentions what the 85 were.Mitchazenia (almost 8800+edits) 01:48, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow, i cant beleve that there were 27 depressions but yet only 9 storms!. IMO, the 1979 season was the 2005 season that never happened. Also had the depressions became tropical storms, maybe the NHC back then would be very stumped since (this is my guess) the use of the greek alphabet never exisited in 1979. Storm05 16:05, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The Greek alphabet has been around for thousands of years, just to let you know. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 16:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * But yet havent been used to name tropical cyclones untill 2005 and the idea of using the greek alphabet to name tropical cyclones probalbly didnt exist in 1979 and possibly started after the NHC added the X,Y and Z names to eastern pacific list during the 1985 Pacific hurricane season in anticpation that more storms would form. Storm05 16:30, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It could have existed back in 1979. How do you know? They could've had it as a backup plan. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 16:32, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Doubt it.Storm05 16:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This number of depressions per season was run of the mill before the early 1980's. Even though the tropical depression definition has barely changed over the years, its use has been significantly limited since the early 1980's.  Thegreatdr 20:22, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

The numbering

 * This throws doubt on the numbering of the tropical depressions listed in the main article. I know the annual summary numbers them, but did they have this designation in real time?  If not, how would we resolve this?  I'm under the impression that we'd refer to these systems as they were referred to in real-time, if possible.  Thegreatdr (talk) 06:36, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The numbers we list in the article are the ones from the annual summary, and don't match the numbering in real-time. The real-time numbering is the way the data is being digitized online on their website, and the way I'm designating the systems in the TC rainfall climatology.  They know well of the numbering discrepency existing from 1967-1987.  Thegreatdr (talk) 14:00, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * This depression issue is something else. NHC only identified 15 in real-time, 20 are identified by NHC nowadays if you include all the candidates in their non-development database track file, and 27 were identified soon after the fact.  How are we going to identify these TDs?  Via their real-time designation or their 1980 designation?  The non-development file doesn't designate them at all.  Until we figure this out, seasons like 1979 are going to remain stub class, because we're not sure all the systems are covered  Thegreatdr (talk) 16:34, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * How about using what we do outside the NHC AOR when we dont have a designation and use the realtime designations but for the rest just use Tropical Depression as the title?Jason Rees (talk) 17:03, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I could generally live with that, but doesn't wikipedia have issues with the same title on multiple subheaders? Thegreatdr (talk) 17:18, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * The MOS says it is preferable but nothing more, since otherwise there could be OR issues.Jason Rees (talk) 17:23, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you think it would violate MoS to call unnumbered TDs something like "August tropical depression"? I'm not suggesting we call them Hank, the Snowtorious BIG, or anything like that.  =)  Thegreatdr (talk) 17:33, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I dont think so.Jason Rees (talk) 17:49, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok. See how it looks.  Right now, TDs #4, 8, and 13 (real-time designation) are yet to be covered.  There were a few sections with absolutely no information which were removed.  If we cover all 27, we're missing 10 sections before start class can be achieved.  Thegreatdr (talk) 17:51, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Down to 7 sections left. Thegreatdr (talk) 18:35, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * The basics for all the systems are there, so I'm upgrading the article to start class. Thegreatdr (talk) 23:48, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

TD Tracks
There are some of the TD track the link from Reference 1. --12george1 (talk) 21:22, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

The Mid September Depression
Both MWR articles referenced say this was a cold core, frontal wave. Yet NHC included it within their season article as a TD. Both articles also state it had 35-45 knot winds with it. It makes little sense, but there you go. This mess won't be resolved until the Atlantic hurricane reanalysis gets to 1979, which will be at least several years away.

Average?
Could the genius who decided to put all these weird depressions on here and then start off by calling the season WITH 27 STORMS "average" explain their reasoning. I'm doing a lot of data compilation and not many sources even acknowledge the existence of these storms. THIS IS ABNORMAL. It doesn't happen. The qualifications for designating a system as a "tropical depression" MUST have been different. 76.108.101.22 (talk) 20:05, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The season is probably rated as average because of the number of tropical storms it had and not just TDs. As for how many TD's there are, it will be sorted out by the NHC when the reanalysis reaches 1979.Jason Rees (talk) 20:27, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

subtropical STORM not hURRICAne
per this:

Which says: "There is no such thing as a subtropical hurricane. If a subtropical storm intensifies enough to have hurricane force winds, than it must have become fully tropical."

subtropical hurricanes don't exist. 173.54.195.13 (talk) 22:45, 21 October 2020 (UTC) AKA a tired hurricanehuron33
 * I agree with the IP who changed it before you reverted the IP's edit. A subtropical storm with hurricane-force winds is a Category 1 hurricane. By that time, the NHC automatically assumes that the storms has enough tropical characteristics to be a hurricane, and it is automatically labelled a hurricane. Also, please edit while logged it, since editing while logged out might get you suspected of sockpuppetry. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 14:00, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * We have to follow the NHC here who state in HURDAT, that the system was a subtropical storm with winds of 65 knots. This is backed up by the seasonal summary which also states winds of 65 kts and a minimum pressure of 980 hPa. As a result, we have a subtropical hurricane until the NHC decides to reanalyse the 1979 season.Jason Rees (talk) 15:54, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Or just call it a subtropical cyclone? ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 16:01, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Maybe, but also subtropical storm; its been like that for like, ever Hurricanehuron33 (talk) 16:33, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is always changing. I personally suggest "Subtropical hurricane," since it was subtropical and a hurricane at the same time. However, I don't disagree with Subtropical Cyclone, but I do disagree with Subtropical Storm, since it was over SS intensity. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 19:30, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

According to the NHC, any subtropical system at or exceeding 34 knots is a subtropical storm. Note the definition for TS shows a range while the SS one does not. Noah Talk 20:08, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * You can disagree with it being called a subtropical storm all you like, but since the NHC calls it a Subtropical Storm we must call it a subtropical storm.Jason Rees (talk) 20:15, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Or, again, we could call it "October subtropical cyclone". It might be confusing calling it a storm with hurricane-force winds. "Subtropical Storm One" isn't really a name like Ana or Bob, especially considering subtropical cyclones are actually named. I consider it similar to an unnamed TD that was upgraded to TS status. We wouldn't call it "Tropical Storm XX". It's different for the pre-naming era. Also, what would we do if NHC added another subtropical storm earlier in the year? We couldn't still call this "One". ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:38, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, so either October subtropical cyclone or Subtropical Storm One, only one of those. It was above 34 knots, and that's all that matters. Hurricanehuron33 (talk) 11:54, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, I'm not going with "Subtropical Hurricane" or "Hurricane" anymore. We can call it "Subtropical cyclone". ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 14:37, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Cù-sìth

The cù-sìth(e), plural coin-shìth(e) is a mythical hound found in Irish folklore  and Scottish folklore. In Irish folklore it is spelled cú sídhe, and it also bears some resemblance to the Welsh Cŵn Annwn.

The cù-sìth is thought to make its home in the clefts of rocks and to roam the moors of the Highlands. It is usually described as having a shaggy, dark green coat and being as large as a small cow.

According to legend, the creature was capable of hunting silently, but would occasionally let out three terrifying barks, and only three, that could be heard for miles by those listening for it, even far out at sea. Those who hear the barking of the Cù-Sìth must reach safety by the third bark or be overcome with terror to the point of death.

Tradition history

Tradition history or tradition criticism is a methodology of biblical criticism that situates a text within a stream of a specific tradition in history and attempts to describe the development of the tradition over the course of time. Tradition criticism was developed by Hermann Gunkel. Tradition history seeks to analyze biblical literature in terms of the process by which biblical traditions passed from stage to stage into their final form, especially how they passed from oral tradition to written form. Tradition history/criticism is a sister discipline of form criticism—also associated with Gunkel, who used the results of source and form criticism to develop the history of tradition interpretation. Form criticism and tradition criticism thus overlap, though the former is more narrow in focus. Tradition history is connected with secular folklore studies, especially Axel Olrik's analysis of Scandinavian folklore and the "laws" which he established concerning the nature of such folklore. The stories in the Bible were then analyzed on the basis of these "laws".

Strengths and weaknesses
Tradition history forces interpreters to consider the possibility that some texts may have had an oral prehistory. It also notes that past traditions were retold and used for a present purpose; that it was made real, vital, or relevant for each successive generation.

The method also has weaknesses. Tradition history creates highly speculative reconstructions, often built on the speculative deductions from source criticism. Moreover, tradition history may exaggerate the role of oral tradition. If texts were written soon after they were spoken so that there was not a long oral prehistory, then the assumptions of tradition history fall to the ground. The use of Olrik's laws is also dubious: It may be a tenuous analogy to compare Icelandic folklore with Hebrew folklore since they are very different cultures. Some folklorists question whether Olrik's laws apply even to Scandinavian literature much less any other (Gunkel admitted they did not apply to all stories in Genesis).
