Talk:Gorgosaurus

110 kilograms= 50 pounds ?
at Paleobiology at Life History there is a small error and probably it was meant to be said that gorgosaurus grew 50 kilograms (110 pounds) a year. Felix Petrar (talk) 05:23, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, good catch that. Casliber (talk · contribs) 06:35, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Jaw structure ?
I saw something on the history channel mentioning the gorgosaurus' somewhat unique jaw structure (widens as it opens), and significant biting power. Was just curious if that was true since it isn't mentioned in the article
 * Are you sure it was on the History Channel? I hadn't heard anything about this. J. Spencer 05:09, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Previous poster here, yeah it was actually on last night. hmm, i can't find anything on it.  shrug
 * What was the name of the program? Looking at yesterday's schedule, the closest I can get to dinosaurs is "Quest for Dragons." J. Spencer 17:51, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

GA review
What a fascinating, well-written and well-referenced article!

I've got one initial comment before I look at the article in detail though; the first external link (to the Smithsonian) appears to be broken.

--Malleus Fatuarum 23:44, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Link replaced. I look forward to further observations, Malleus. Firsfron of Ronchester  00:10, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, if this article can't make GA, I don't know what can. I'm no great dinosaur expert, so you'll have to forgive my ignorance, but I do have just a couple of questions:

 * The article says that Gorgosaurus co-existed with Daspletosaurus, compared with which it is described as being "lightly built", even though they both seem to come in at about the same weight and size. So what does lightly built mean?

 * What does "a more circular orbit" mean? Are we talking about the eye socket, or the first Gorgosaurus in space? :)

 * "Dale Russell hypothesized ..." Perhaps better to give the reader some idea of who Dale Russell is, for instance, "Palaeontologist Dale Russell hypothesized ...".

 * "Dale Russell hypothesized that the more lightly built and more common Gorgosaurus may have preyed on the abundant hadrosaurs of the time, while the more robust and less common Daspletosaurus may have specialized on the less prevalent but better-defended ceratopsids, which may have been more difficult to hunt." The ceratopsids may surely have been easier to hunt, just more difficult for a Gorgosaurus to get the better of? Even I think that's kind of a picky point though ;-)

 * I made a couple of copyedits that I hope haven't changed the sense of what the article is saying. If you think that they have, then feel free to revert them.

I'm not even going to wait for you to address the points I've raised - although obviously I hope that you will - because I think that they're minor. This seems to me to be an excellent article and well deserves to be listed as a GA. GA passed!

--Malleus Fatuarum 00:55, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review, Malleus; I'm glad to get a review from someone who is "no great dinosaur expert"; we've already got experts. What we needed was someone unfamiliar with the material to make sure the article was clear to the casual reader. Cas Liber wrote most of this article back in July, and I thought it was good enough to reach GA status; I'm glad you agree. I will work on fixing the problems you pointed out.

 * 1) I'll try to work out the weight thing.
 * 2) A link to orbit might help! ;)
 * 3) Thanks for the suggestion about Dale Russell's title. Good point.
 * 4) Maybe I can reword this...
 * 5) The copyedits look great; I was observing as you were making them.

If you have further suggestions on reflection, Malleus, please do not hesitate to make them. Your ideas and comments can only improve this article. Thanks again for your time. Firsfron of Ronchester 01:58, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Gorgosaurus or Albertosaurus?

 * I remember someone saying that the statue in New Mexico on the right image was supposed to be depict an Albertosaurus specimen found there, which later turned out to be a Gorgosaurus, or what? Could the image be included in the article then? FunkMonk (talk) 04:52, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, it's labeled as Albertasaurus by the Museum. Whether or not this is incorrect would depend on which specimen(s) the sculptor based it on. The sculptor is David Arthur Thomas. Maybe somebody could email him? If it is a specimen now assigned to Gorgosaurus, maybe somebody at the museum should be notified, though I doubt changing the label would be a high priority... Dinoguy2 (talk) 01:45, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, I thought it had been "officially" resolved, no big deal then. FunkMonk (talk) 06:53, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I suppose the Gorgosaurus/Albertosaurus controversey ought to be explored more. For a decade or more Gorgosaurus was not recognised as a separate genus by most of the palaeontological community.Gazzster (talk) 00:35, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

 * On this note, the image on the right turned out to be Gorgosaurus as well. I'm thinking it may show the animal off better than the current, angled taxobox image? FunkMonk (talk) 18:28, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, this one is much easier to see. MMartyniuk (talk) 16:49, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Smooth skin
"In 2001, paleontologist Phil Currie reported skin impressions from the holotype specimen of G. libratus. The skin of Gorgosaurus was smooth, lacking the scales found in many other dinosaurs". I have a children's dinosaur book from 1980, The Mysterious World of Dinosaurs, that contains a picture of Gorgosaurus with smooth, glossy black skin. Was this just a lucky guess on the part of the illustrator, or had skin impressions been found earlier than is stated here? Wardog (talk) 09:53, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Could be either. The smooth skin impressions were actually found on the holotype--Currie just was the first to really point them out formally in 2001, but the specimen was discovered much earlier. Note that other gorgo specimens show scales on other parts of the body, so it must have had areas of scales and areas of naked skin (which might have supported feathers in life). MMartyniuk (talk) 12:24, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * if so, where are the anchor-points for these feathers on the 'smooth' skin? — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:42, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

75 million years?
This date is subjective: dating this dinosaur depends on your worldview. Also, saying it lived in the late Cretaceous period depends on the geologic time scale, which depends on the geologic column, which appears nowhere in the earth. It is very disappointing to see this biased content. Wikipedia editors are supposed to maintain a neutral, unbiased point of view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:52, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Feathers or not
It seems to me, the picture's feathered rendering contradicts the text :

"In 2001, paleontologist Phil Currie reported skin impressions from the holotype specimen of G. libratus. He originally reported the skin as being essentially smooth and lacking the scales found in other dinosaurs, similar to the secondarily featherless skin found in large modern birds.[8] Scales of some sort were present in this specimen, but they are reportedly widely dispersed from each other and very small. Other patches of isolated Gorgosaurus skin shows denser, and larger though still relatively fine scales (smaller than hadrosaurid scales and approximately as fine as a Gila monster's).[9] Neither of these specimens was associated with any particular bone or specific body area.[9] In the Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs Kenneth Carpenter pointed out that traces of skin impressions from the tail of Gorgosaurus showed similar small rounded or hexagonal scales.[10]"

<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:29, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Feathers and scales are not mutually exclusive. They can be present at different parts of the body of the same animal, as is shown in the restorations here. Some dinosaur fossils are also known that show such a combination, feathers alongside scales. Some formations are not good at preserving both, though, so absence of either isn't proof of anything. That said, the first restoratio here may be slightly too fluffy. FunkMonk (talk) 06:37, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

polar region? weight compared to Daspleto?
Haven't they established that these creatures ranged far north of the border of the inland sea? The literature points to Daspletosaurus being a heavier animal than Gorgo, with a much stronger skull ... the article should be adjusted.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:46, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You may be thinking of Nanuqsaurus, which was assumed to be Gorgosaurus early on. FunkMonk (talk) 17:42, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Tire fire

Tire fires are events that involve the combustion of large quantities of tires, usually waste tires, typically in locations where they are stored, dumped, or processed. They exist in two forms: as fast-burning events, leading to almost immediate loss of control, and as slow-burning pyrolysis which can continue for over a decade. They are noted for being difficult to extinguish. Such fires produce much smoke, which carries toxic chemicals from the breakdown of synthetic rubber compounds while burning.

Tire fires are normally the result of arson or improper manipulation with open fire. Tires are not prone to self-ignition, as a tire must be heated to at least 400 C for a period of several minutes prior to ignition.

Extinguishing tire fires is difficult. The fire releases a dark, rich smoke that contains cyanide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and products of butadiene and styrene. Burning tires are heated, and, as they have a low thermal conductivity, they are difficult to cool down. Moreover, they frequently burn inside even if they are extinguished from outside, and easily reignite when hot. One possible remedy is to cover the fire with sand, reducing the supply of oxygen and the exhaust of smoke. After extinguishing and cooling down (which may last several days), toxic chemicals can be neutralized.

Use in protest
Protestors are known to burn tires as part of protests. Because waste tires are readily available and produce dense smoke, protestors sometimes burn tires and create tire barriers as part of protest. For example, an analysis in The Times of Israel noticed an increasing trend of tire burning in the demonstrations following the 17 October Revolution.

Notable tire fires
Some notable tire fires include:
 * 1983 – Arsonists ignited seven million tires that burned for nine months in Winchester, Virginia, polluting nearby areas with lead and arsenic. The location was cleaned up as a Superfund project from 1983 to 2002.
 * 1984 – A pile estimated at four million tires, known locally as Mount Firestone, ignited in Everett, Washington, and burned for months as the fire department was unable to extinguish it.
 * 1989 – In Heyope (near Knighton, Powys, Wales), a fire involving approximately 10 million tires began which still smouldered 15 years later.
 * 1990 – In Hagersville, Ontario, a fire started in a pile of 12 to 14 million tires; it burned for 17 days and forced 4,000 people to evacuate.
 * 1993 - In Inwood, Berkeley County, West Virginia, Charles David Knox, a local volunteer firefighter in Inwood, set fire to a 10 acre pile of tires; the fire burnt for 3 days before being brought under control. Mutual aid for tankers was called from as far away as Texas. The 1993 Inwood tire fire response was set as the example on how to fight tire fires; some of the techniques used in the 1993 Inwood tire fire are still used to this day.
 * 1994 – In East Chicago, Indiana, a fire consumed 70,000 tons of tires and shredded rubber. It started on July 16, 1994 and burned until August 22, 1994.
 * 1995 – The Hornburg tire fire in Sinclairville, New York burned over a million tires in a blaze lasting more than a week.
 * 1995 - In Grawn, Michigan, a tire fire from a retreading service at 5175 Sawyer Woods Drive burned for three weeks and resulted in PFAS contamination of local residential drinking water wells. The fire began on December 29, 1995.
 * 1996 – An arson in March at an illegal tire yard underneath a section of I-95 in Philadelphia caused $6 million in damage and completely closed a section of the highway for weeks and partial closures for six months.
 * 1998 – A grass fire ignited the 7 million tires at the unlicensed S.F. Royster Tire Disposal Facility in Tracy, California. It was extinguished, after 26 months, with water and foam in December 2000.
 * 1999 – On August 21, arsonists ignited the former Kirby Tire Recycling facility, containing an estimated 25 million tires located on 110 acre near Sycamore, Ohio. The fire burned for 30 hours, involved over 250 firefighters, the Ohio National Guard and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and caused significant environmental damage. The fire was controlled and finally extinguished in part by covering it with dirt. In the intervening years the EPA has performed a massive clean up effort on the site.
 * 1999 – Lightning struck a tire dump in Westley, California, which burned for 30 days. Pyrolitic oil flowed into a nearby stream and also ignited.
 * 2002 – The EnTire Tire Recycling facility in Nebraska City, Nebraska burned for over eleven days. An explosion occurred during the firefighting effort, injuring thirteen firefighters. Multiple evacuations of up to a 30-block area were ordered during the event. Over 40 agencies assisted during the event at an estimated cost of $1.4 million.
 * 2005 – A fire started at Watertown Tire Recyclers in Watertown, Wisconsin on July 19 and burned for six days. 108 fire departments and more than 25 agencies assisted in handling the disaster.
 * 2008 – A malfunction in the chopper/shredder line of the Golden By-Products tire recycling plant in Ballico, California ignited rubber debris around the conveyor system which then ignited two multi-ton piles of shredded/chopped rubber. It only burned for about 12 hours but took over 1 million gallons of water to extinguish. The piles were allowed to form a crust which in turn smothered the fires in them. The plant was later cited for exceeding permitted capacity.
 * 2012 – On January 27, 2012, a massive tire fire sparked at a tire recycling plant in Lockport, New York, causing dangerous amounts of soot and smoke to burn over the city for over 22 hours, causing serious damage to many homes.
 * 2012 – In Sulaibiya, Kuwait, a five million tire fire erupted on April 16, 2012. The fire was thought to be started deliberately by scrap metal hawkers looking to recover scrap metal.
 * 2012 – In Iowa City, Iowa, at approximately 6:45 p.m. on May 26, 2012, a fire started in the ground tire bedding material at the Iowa City Landfill, involving at least 7.5 acres of landfill. It was finally extinguished on June 12, 2012, after a "stir, burn and cover" operation.
 * 2012 – Tire fire protests erupted all over Lebanon. Protesters used burning tires to cut off main roads in Lebanon.
 * 2013 – Static electricity ignited a fire at J&R Tire Recycling in Hoopeston, Illinois. Over 100 firefighters from two states fought the fire, in which over 50,000 tires burned, for three days.
 * 2013 – Tire fire ignited in Nassau, Bahamas. The poorly managed municipal dump has had multiple fires and finally resulted in a tire fire on August 13.
 * 2014 – Tire fire ignited in Savannah, Georgia on February 8, 2014.
 * 2015 – On August 18, in northwest Oklahoma, a tire fire in a large pile of tires next to the premises of A&T Tire and Wheel set the exterior of the business ablaze, but crews prevented flames from getting inside.
 * 2015 – On August 18, a fire in Oregon disrupted the Warm Springs Tribal Reservation. Erroneously referred to by locals and news media as a "tire fire", the blaze caused by the sparks formed from a recreational vehicle driving on a bare rim engulfed more than 60,000 acres of land at the reservation.
 * 2016 – On May 13, in Seseña, Spain, a fire started in a tire dump containing around 5 million tires.
 * 2016 – On August 10, a tire fire sparked at Liberty Tire Recycling in Lockport, New York. Over 8 million pounds of crumb rubber ignited, destroying four buildings and evacuating over 400 families from nearby homes.
 * 2017 – On January 17, a tire fire started at Federal Corporation Zhongli Factory in Taoyuan, Taiwan. More than half the factory (50,000 square meters) was on fire and over 140 families were evacuated from nearby homes. The area was heavily contaminated with carbon black.
 * 2017 – On March 5 at 10:58 pm, firefighters responded to a fire at the EnTire Recycling facility in Phelps City, Missouri. Heavy smoke caused intermittent closure of Highway 136 and officials to advise nearby residents to avoid breathing the smoke, which could be seen over 10 miles away. This fire continued to smolder through August 2017.
 * 2020 – On July 22, firefighters in Weld County, Colorado responded to a fire at a tire recycling facility. Early reports suggested a fire began on equipment which quickly spread to piles of tires. Local officials requested aid from a supertanker aircraft due to the size of the fire and unseasonably dry conditions.
 * 2020 – On October 18, a massive fire in the Sulaibiya tire graveyard, the site of a similar fire in 2012, burned approximately 1 million tires in 25,000 square meters.
 * 2020 - On November 16, 90 firefighters and 15 appliances attended a major fire involving 600,000 tires stored at a former go-karting facility in Bradford, England. The fire was declared out a week later. Three people were arrested in connection to the fire, however they were later released without charge.
 * 2021 — On November 9, approximately 100 firefighters responded to a tire fire at a recycling facility in southwest Philadelphia. Unusual winds brought the fire's smoke across Philadelphia's Center City  and into New Jersey.
 * 2022 — On October 13, a protestor started a tire fire on Sitong Bridge in Beijing, China. The protester, dubbed "Bridge Man", used a tire fire to bring passersby attention to an unfurled banner.

In popular culture
In popular culture the phrase is used to mean a horrifying mess that seems to last forever.

The TV show The Simpsons is set in a fictional town called Springfield, which features a permanent tire fire.

In S01E02 of The Walking Dead: World Beyond, a tire fire called "The Blaze of Gory" was mentioned.

Modern alchemy The goals of alchemy were transmutation of any metal into either gold, to prolong life indefinitely and to create human life. It can be argued that all of the key elements of traditional alchemy have become incorporated into conventional sciences. Transmutation of elements has been accomplished by physicists. Modern medical science is devoted to the treatment of disease and the prolongation of life. Biological techniques provide a significant level of control over the creation of new life from non-living chemical precursors.

All of these alchemy-inspired activities within modern science continue to force us up against the boundaries of conventional science. Transmutation is difficult and expensive. Immortality is a dream of many transhumanists. Only the most primitive forms of life can be constructed from scratch. Artificial life is still in its infancy. Creation of a robotic artificial life form with human qualities might be viewed as one way of satisfying the dream of creating life. Genetic engineering has begun to provide tools for the creation of new forms of biological organisms.

Worthington Whitehouse

Worthington Whitehouse (October 1864 – February 14, 1922) was a prominent American real estate broker and member of New York Society during the Gilded Age who led many cotillions.

Early life
He was born in October 1864 in Irvington, New York. He was the son of Amelia Stuart Newton Worthington (d. 1901) and Edward M. Whitehouse (d. 1870), his mother's first husband whom she married in 1863. After his father died, his mother remarried to Thomas Whiteside Rae. His full-brother was Edward Whitehouse (1866–1894) and his half-brothers were Izard Newton Whiteside Rae and Thomas Rae.

His paternal grandparents were Edward Whitehouse and Julia (née Cammann) Whitehouse, of the prominent Cammann Knickerbocker family. His uncle was James Henry Whitehouse, dean of the New York Stock Exchange and his cousin was Sheldon Whitehouse, U.S. Ambassador to Guatemala and Colombia. His maternal grandparents were Henry Rossiter Worthington (1817–1880), who invented the first direct-acting steam pump, and Sara Jane (née Newton) Worthington (1817–1893), herself the daughter of Commodore John Thomas Newton of Alexandria, Virginia. His uncle was Charles Campbell Worthington (1854–1944), who took over his grandfather's Worthington Corporation. His grand-nephew through his brother Izard, was Thomas Newton Whiteside Rae (d. 2011). His niece was Edwina Worthington Whitehouse, who married Gregory Van Sicklen McLoughlin, a painter, and committed suicide in 1923.

He was educated in New York, taking a class at St. John's School, and then abroad to complete his studies. After graduation, he spent three years traveling, including in Africa.

Career
After returning to the United States, he joined Edward Sweet & Co., bankers, working with them for three years. His cousin Henry Worthington Bull (1874–1958), the son of his maternal aunt Sara Newton Worthington and her husband William Lauman Bull, also worked at Edward Sweet & Co.

Following Edward Sweet & Co., he joined with Edward Ludlow Hall (1872–1932) in real estate ventures. He later formed a partnership known as Mills & Whitehouse. It was dissolved and he joined John N. Golding to form Golding & Whitehouse, later Whitehouse & Porter with Clarence Porter, the only surviving son of Gen. Horace Porter, the U.S. Ambassador to France. After Porter's death, Whitehouse later founded his own real estate firm, Worthington Whitehouse Inc. in 1915, which rented and sold properties in New York, especially along Fifth Avenue and in Murray Hill, and in Newport, Rhode Island.

In 1921, he stepped down as president of his firm, Worthington Whitehouse Company, Inc., and appointed Newton Rae, his relative who was a friend of Albert Eugene Gallatin, as president in his place. In 1935, several years after his death, his firm was dissolved and its president, Newton Rae, and officers joined Douglas L. Elliman & Co.

Society life
Whitehouse was a member of the infamous "Four Hundred" of New York Society, as dictated by Mrs. Astor and Ward McAllister and published in The New York Times on February 16, 1892. He was known for being the master of the cotillion, along with Cathleen Neilson Vanderbilt, the wife of Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt. In 1914, he accompanied Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, among others, to the opening of Verdi's Un ballo in maschera at the Metropolitan Opera.

He was a member of the Knickerbocker Club, Racquet and Tennis Club, and was a member of the Delta Phi fraternity.

Whitehouse, who did not marry, died on February 14, 1922, at his home, Worthington Farms in Elmsford, New York.

CECPQ2

In cryptography, Combined Elliptic-Curve and Post-Quantum 2 (CECPQ2) is a quantum secure modification to Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 developed by Google. It is intended to be used experimentally, to help evaluate the performance of post quantum key-exchange algorithms on actual users' devices.

Details
Similarly to its predecessor CECPQ1, CECPQ2 aims to provide confidentiality against an attacker with a large scale quantum computer. It is essentially a plugin for the TLS key-agreement part. CECPQ2 combines two key exchange mechanisms: the classical X25519 and HRSS (Hülsing, Rijneveld, Schanck, and Schwabe) scheme (an instantiation of the NTRU lattice based key exchange primitive). Additionally, Kris Kwiatkowski has implemented and deployed an alternative version of post-quantum key exchange algorithm, titled CECPQ2b. Similarly to CECPQ2, this is also a hybrid post-quantum key exchange scheme, that is based on supersingular isogeny key exchange (SIKE) instead of HRSS.

CECPQ2 uses 32 bytes of shared secret material derived from the classical X25519 mechanism, and 32 bytes of shared secret material derived from the quantum-secure HRSS mechanism. The resulting bytes are concatenated and used as secret key. Concatenation is meant to assure that the protocol provides at least the same security level as widely used X25519, should HRSS be found insecure.

The algorithm was to be deployed on both the server side using Cloudflare's infrastructure, and the client side using Google Chrome Canary. Since both parties need to support the algorithm for it to be chosen, this experiment is available only to Chrome Canary users accessing websites hosted by Cloudflare.

It was estimated that the experiment started mid-2019. It was considered a step in a general program at Cloudflare to transition to post-quantum safe cryptographic primitives.

Support for CECPQ2 was removed from BoringSSL in April 2023.

Tammy's Touch

Tammy's Touch is a studio album by American country artist, Tammy Wynette. It was released on April 27, 1970 via Epic Records and contained 11 tracks. The album's material centered around themes of heartbreak and romance. Many of the album's songs were new recordings while others were covers. Among its new recordings was the singles "I'll See Him Through" and "He Loves Me All the Way". Both songs became chart-topping tracks on the country music charts in 1970. The album itself also reached top positions on multiple charts in the United States.

Background
Tammy Wynette was among country music's most popular artists during the sixties and seventies decades. She had a series of number one and top ten country songs, including 1969's "Stand by Your Man". Considered her signature recording, "Stand by Your Man" described how women stayed loyal to their husbands despite their many faults. The song elevated Wynette's popularity and helped craft an image that resonated for years on singles and albums. Among the follow-up singles were "I'll See Him Through" and "He Loves Me All the Way". Both songs followed a similar theme to "Stand by Your Man" and would help craft Wynette's 1970 studio LP, Tammy's Touch.

Recording and content
Tammy's Touch was recorded in sessions between November 1969 and February 1970. The recording sessions were held at Columbia Studio B, located in Nashville, Tennessee. The album was produced by Billy Sherrill. A total of 11 tracks comprised the studio album. The song's themes centered around heartbreak. This included tracks like "The Divorce Sale" and "He Thinks I Love Him". Other songs followed similar themes to "Stand by Your Man", such as the track "He Loves Me All the Way". In the song, a housewife explains that she can trust her husband even though she is not always sure if he is remaining faithful. Many of the album's tracks were penned especially for Wynette. These songs were chosen by Billy Sherrill and some were penned by him as well. The album featured three Sherrill compositions: "I'll See Him Through", "He Loves Me All the Way" and "A Lighter Shade of Blue". Two tracks were also written with Glenn Sutton: "Love Me, Love Me" and "A Lighter Shade of Blue". Also featured was a cover of the Brook Benton pop song, "It's Just a Matter of Time". It was also covered by Sonny James around the same time, whose version became a chart-topping country single.

Release, chart performance, reception and singles
Tammy's Touch was first released on April 27, 1970 on Epic Records. It was eighth studio album recorded by Wynette during her career. It was initially released as both a vinyl LP and a cassette. In 1973, it was re-released to the United Kingdom under the title Superb Country Sounds. The cover photo and track listing were identical to the original. It was released digitally by Sony Music decades later. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave Tammy's Touch a positive review, rating it four out of five stars. He highlighted Billy's Sherrill's production along with the album's material, concluding that it was "one of her most satisfying albums of the '70s." The album went to number one on the American Billboard Top Country Albums chart in 1970, becoming her second chart-topping LP. It also became her fifth studio album to place on the Billboard 200 chart, reaching number 85.

Two singles were included on Tammy's Touch. The first was "I'll See Him Through", which was initially released in December 1969. The single went to number two on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in March 1970. It also went to number three on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart in early 1970. Also included was the single "He Loves Me All the Way", which was first issued by Epic Records in April 1970. It topped by the Billboard country chart in July 1970 and went to number two on the RPM country chart. Both singles also reached the Billboard Hot 100, both climbing into the top 90.

What is the difference between What If and the Courses of History thing? --Pthag 14:36, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Well, this was just a basic outline I set up. We can change it later if there are problems.
 * I was planning on "What If" as being 'alternate endings' to real-world events. EG, "Germany won WWII, The Mongols conquered Central Europe, The Romans beat back the Barbarians, the Cold War lead to a Nuclear Exchange", etc. Just some ideas to get people thinking of new courses of history for their conworld.
 * The "New Courses of History" was basically stuff that never happened on Earth. EG, "a major climate shift after the development of civilization", and... okay, I admit it, there's not much difference. *Edits* -- Maknas 15:46, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Eurocentrism
I think the categories need to be reorganized... no civilization other than the Western one experienced the ages in that order (Ancient, Classical, Medieval, Renaissance, Industrial, Modern). Why would a concivilization also go through these stages?

Right now I'm thinking about some way of rearranging everything altogether, by using much more general categories like "Developments in Warfare", "Cultural Interactions", "Migrations", "Spread of Literacy", "Inventions" and so forth. -- Ran 01:59, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Well, aren't the "Classical", "Medieval", and "Renaissance" categories the main offenders? Cause, at least on Earth, every other nation passed through the others to various extents. So should we try to somehow break up these three?
 * Oh, and why does it say "Retrieved from Talk:Conhistory below? Not anymore... -- Maknas 12:30, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Yeah, breaking up those three would be good. -- Ran 13:33, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Beginning to End
Don't forget 'confuturism' or 'conholism' or whatever you would call the creation of an entire timeline, from beginning to end. This does not need to interfere with local free will, or the freedom of a novelist creating a novel set in a particular time, but (in instances where there is a notion of the 'present') is more general than History.

Nanosemantics

Nanosemantics Lab is a Russian IT company specializing in natural language processing (NLP), computer vision (CV), speech technologies (ASR/TTS) and creation of interactive dialog interfaces, particularly chatbots and virtual assistants, based on artificial intelligence (AI). The company uses neural network platforms, including its own-made platform PuzzleLib which works on Russian-made microprocessor architecture Elbrus and Russia-based Astra Linux operating system. The company was founded in 2005 by Igor Ashmanov and Natalya Kaspersky.

Profile
The company was one of the first on Russian market to develop dialog interfaces for different branches of businesses, as well as to support community of AI developers. The company's most demanded product, as for beginning of the 2020s, is the automated "online advisers", functioning as chat bots, made for helping customers with usage of commercial products. In 2009 the company released an online service called iii.ru, where visitors were able to create their own AI-based virtual personalities entitles "infs" (for free). A visitor was able to train its own "inf" and let them chat to other "live" visitors as well with other "infs". More than 2.3 million of "infs" were created and trained by visitors over several years.

Nanosemantics Lab maintains its own linguistic programming language for AI development called Dialog Language (DL). Popular social networks and instant messaging services may be used as base platforms.

Nanosemantics' AI bots support different types of businesses: banks and financial services, telecommunications, retail, travel and automobile industry, home appliances production, etc. Among its solutions, Nanosemantics lists projects for various companies and institutions, among them VTB, Beeline, MTS, Sberbank, Higher School of Economics, Webmoney, Gazpromneft, Rostelecom, Ford Motors, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and others.

The company uses the term "inf" for naming its numerous types of chat bots. The term was coined by co-founder Igor Ashmanov, head of Ashmanov & Partners. A 2014 scholarly research at Higher School of Economics, called "Basics of Business Informatics", states that such "infs", when used at business, may lower load on employees, collect statistics useful for understanding market demand and also may increase customer loyalty by providing fast and informative answers due to usage of large databases. The same research describes Nanosemantics' project for Russian branch of Ford Motors company, when AI capabilities were used for promoting the car model Ford Kuga. The research pointed out that within 2 months since beginning, the promo-website conducted 47774 talks of visitors with the specialized "inf", which indicated several hundred thousand of questions and the longest chat lasted for 3 hours 10 minutes. One-year promo campaign showed that 28.6% of people who made pre-orders talked to an "inf".

In 2016 Nanosemantics launched a SaaS platform aimed at creating customized virtual assistants by users.

The company's flagship product is considered to be Dialog Operating System (DialogOS), a professional corporate platform for creating intellectual voice and textual bots. It has its own linguistic programming language for creation of flexible scenarios and ready-studied neural natural language processing modules that are able to understand human interlocutors.

In 2021 the company presented technology called NLab Speech ASR which contains a set of neural-networking algorithms for processing audio signals and analysis of texts that were trained and calibrated using speech-based big data marked up manually. The technology allows speed of processing of data up to "6 real-time factor" and precision values in noisy audio data may exceed 82%.

In March 2022 the technology was included in Russia's Joint Registry for Russian Programs for Computers and Databases. As well, another technology was included: NLab Speech TTS, which is text-to-speech system that produces synthesized speech from printed text.

Joint projects
Nanosemantics participates in Ashmanov & Partners' projects related to AI. Since 2014, it helps in development of hardware "personal assistant" called Lexy, a solution similar to Amazon Alexa and the analogues.

In August 2019 it was announced that Nanosemantics is going to participate in creation of open operating system for creating automated voice assistants. The project was called SOVA (Smart Open Virtual Assistant) and received investment of 300 million roubles (~$4,6 million) from Russian state-maintained National Technological Initiative.

The company maintains long-term partnerships with Skolkovo Innovation Center (resident of IT cluster ), branch association "Neuronet" and Yandex.

Together with USA-based startup Remedy Logic, Nanosemantics has developed a medical diagnostic system for finding, using AI, spinal pathologies in tomography images of human bodies. Among them: central, foraminal and lateral lumbar stenosis, hernias, arthrosis. The system offers options of treatment.

Since August 2021 the company is the resident of Technology Valley of Moscow State University.

Also in 2021, Nanosemantics became a member of Committee on Artificial Intelligence within the Russian Association of Software Developers "Native Soft".

The company states as one of its missions support of initiatives aimed at preservation and development of the Russian language. In May 2021, together with Pushkin Institute, the company created a chat bot called Phil, that explains to Russian people meaning of different Russian neologisms, and offers synonyms for them. Bot's vocabulary contains more than 500 neologisms, as well the bot can give advice on jargonisms and other types of specific words.

Also in 2021, Nanosemanics Lab has signed the first-ever Russian "Codex of ethics of artificial intelligence". It establishes guidelines for ethical behavior of businesses that implement AI-based solutions.

IT contests
The company regularly organizes All-Russian Turing Test competitions for IT developers. Some of these events are co-organized with Microsoft. During the competitions, judges randomly choose virtual interlocutor and have a short conversation with them. They have to determine if a human or a machine is talking to them. An interlocutor may be either a bot or its human creator or operator. The results are measured in per cent of judges that were successfully convinced by a machine that it was a human.

In 2021 Nanosemantics took part in federal project "Artificial Intelligence" by National Technological Initiative.

In December 2021 the company together with state enterprise "Resource Center of Universal Design and Rehabilitation Technologies" (RCUD-RT) held an all-Russian hackathon aimed at development of AI solutions for medicine. During 3 days, participants created several training programs for patients with speech disorders.

In April 2022, another hackathon by Nanosemantics was held together with MIREA – Russian Technological University. Students were participating and trying to generate algorithms for voice deepfakes. 17 teams contested in creation of software that generated artificial voice of a certain person.

Recognition
Since its foundation, Nanosemantics Lab has received a number of recognitions and awards. Among them are several professional ROTOR awards for the website iii.ru (created in 2009). The website gives the general public the means to create and train virtual assistants, which can then be used on a website or integrated into social networks.

In 2013, a virtual assistant called Dana, created for Beeline Kazakhstan, was awarded with professional prize "Crystal Headset" in nomination "the best applying of technology".

In 2015, the RBTH international media service included Nanosemantics in its list of "Top 50 Startups" in Russia.

In 2016, the company received Russian state-maintained award called Runet Prize in two nominations: "State and Society" and "Technology and Innovation".

In 2021, in Velikiy Novgorod, Nanosemantics team has won a hackathon aimed at finding means of discovering corruption schemes in Russian laws.

In February 2022 the company won another contest by National Technological Initiative, called "Prochtenie", aimed at creation of AI systems for checking schoolchildren's school essays. The Nanosemantics team was awarded 20 million rubles for "overcoming technological barrier" in contest dedicated to English language, and 12 million for 1st place in special nomination "Structure" in Russian-language essay contest.

Lucrezia Di Siena

Lucrezia Di Siena (fl. 1564), was an Italian stage actress. She is known as the first identified female actor in Europe since antiquity.

Career
She signed a signature for an acting contract by a Commedia dell'arte theatre company in Rome on 10 October 1564, in which she is stated to be able to sing, do declamation and play music. This is the first time any professional actress is mentioned in Italy since antiquity and the first time any actress known by name to perform in Commedia dell'artre. All other members of the company were men.

She is assumed to have been a former courtesan, a cortigiana onesta, a common background for the first generation of actresses in Italy: this was a good background for an actress because courtisans of that class were normally instructed in singing, declamation, music and dance, subjects otherwise rarely attainable for women, and the fact that she was noted with no last name in combination with the honorary title Domina (a common way of address for courtesans), supports this assumption.

After this, actresses became common in Italy, and she was followed only three years later by Vincenza Armani and Barbara Flaminia.

The Okeechobee Hurricane or Hurricane San Felipe Segundo was a deadly hurricane that struck the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and Florida in September of the 1928 Atlantic hurricane season. It was the first recorded hurricane to reach Category 5 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale in the Atlantic basin; it remains the only recorded hurricane to strike Puerto Rico at Category 5 strength, and one of the ten most intense ever recorded to make landfall in the United States.

The hurricane caused devastation throughout its path. As many as 1,200 people were killed in Guadeloupe. Puerto Rico was struck directly by the storm at peak strength, killing at least 300 and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. In south Florida at least 2,500 were killed when storm surge from Lake Okeechobee breached the dike surrounding the lake, flooding an area covering hundreds of square miles. In total, the hurricane killed at least 4,075 people and caused around $100 million ($800 million in 2005 US dollars) in damages over the course of its path.

De Clementia

De Clementia (frequently translated as On Mercy in English) is a two volume (incomplete) hortatory essay written in AD 55–56 by Seneca the Younger, a Roman Stoic philosopher, to the emperor Nero in the first five years of his reign.

Date and writing
The work was written after Nero had become emperor and clearly dates from an early part of Nero's reign. From Seneca's remarks, it would appear that it was written after Nero had turned eighteen, which would place it after the murder of his rival Britannicus in AD 55. It may therefore have been written partly as an apology, perhaps as a means of assuring the Roman nobility that the murder would be the end, not the beginning of bloodshed.

The work survives in a fragmentary state. Of an original three books, only the first and the beginning of the second survive.

The essay
Seneca's De Clementia is an instructional contrast between the good ruler and the tyrant, and an evaluation of the relationship between ruler and subject. A survey of history is made in the first volume to select different rulers to point out as examples, including Dionysius of Syracuse and Sulla being used as cautionary tales and young Augustus as the exemplar. An extended illustration of Augustus showing mercy to the rebellious Cinna alongside an example from Nero's own life is meant to encourage the aspiring emperor to likewise show clemency.

While the first volume is accommodated to popular understanding the second book touches on stoic paradoxes and scholastic details. In general, the two books are not overly concerned with historical accuracy.

Within his essay, Seneca does not discuss the constitutional legitimacy of the principate, but rather deals with the problem of having a good sovereign. The only real power, in his view, was power which was guided by the Stoic conception of logos (universal reason). Thus, clemency, not pity or unmotivated generosity, is the reasonable approach which guarantees the consent and devotion of the emperor's subjects and provides the state's security.

Legacy
De Clementia is a rare survival of a Roman work dedicated to political advice. It is particularly unusual in its discussion of mercy, as later panegyrics tend to emphasise imperial piety and majesty.

The text has come down to us together with De Beneficiis in one of the earliest surviving Senecan manuscripts, as part of the 8th century Codex Nazarianus (Vat. Pal. 1547). In the 12th century copies of De Clementia were circulating Europe nearly always attached to De Beneficiis, and in this form it reached the Renaissance. Although always regarded as a minor work of Seneca's, it received one significant appraisal in 1532 when John Calvin published his commentary on it.

John Calvin's commentary on De Clementia
Shortly after finishing his legal studies, a young John Calvin wrote his first book, a commentary on De Clementia. The commentary consists mostly of philological notes and context with other Latin writers interspersed with notes on Seneca's style and ideas. There have been three suggested reasons for this. First, Erasmus wrote the preface to his 1529 translation of Seneca that he welcomed editorial comments by young scholars. In taking up this invitation, some believe Calvin was attempting to establish his reputation as a humanist among the intellectual elite. Second, because there was a general revival of Stoicism in Renaissance times, it may have been simply because Calvin wanted more popularity for Seneca. Theodore Beza, who was Calvin's successor in Geneva, mentions Seneca as "a great favorite for him" because he was "obviously in accord with Calvin." The third possibility, generally rejected by scholars, is that he was writing to the French King Francis I. The lack of a dedication to him, mention of him, and gross error that would have been made comparing Francis with Nero all lead to the theory's disuse.

In writing his Commentary, Calvin made use of the texts of two "ancient pillars," Cicero and Seneca, and two "modern pillars," Erasmus and Budaeus. Ford Lewis Battles argues there is a third "modern pillar," Philipus Beroaldus the Elder. When quoting from sources, he is less versed in Greek literature than in Latin. It is worth noting that Calvin's brief biographical sketch of Seneca at the outset is taken almost entirely from Tacitus, while ignoring the less noble picture from Dio Cassius.

Fundamentally, Calvin at this point in his career is acting as a humanist and not a Protestant reformer. Calvin and Seneca agree that all men are sinners and sin needs to be punished, and both are committed to a deterministic theism. However, it becomes clear that Calvin had not intended to pass Stoic elements into Protestant theology, and in fact Calvin attacks the Stoic creed more often than he approves it. Beyond theological critique, Calvin also reproves Seneca's style as too luxuriant, and remarks, "I also miss the orderly arrangement of matter, which is certainly not the least quality of a good style." We can already begin to see the anticipation of Calvin's full development in his writing method and can expect the transformation of Calvin's classical learning and the seriousness of the Stoic ethic into Christian faith.

Quotations
The true enjoyment of good deeds consists in the performance of them, and virtues have no adequate reward beyond themselves.

There is a large part of mankind which might return to virtue if the hope of pardon were not denied them. Clemency becomes no one more than a king or a prince; for great power is glorious and admirable only when it is beneficent.

Clemency is what makes the great distinction between kings and tyrants.

No creature is more fretful, or to be treated with greater skill, than man, and none should be treated with greater forbearance.

Talk:Dika Newlin

Celery?
The celery comment was introduced in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dika_Newlin&diff=406924178&oldid=406721702 — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:59, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Murder Kitty vs Cat Duet
The comment at the bottom says that All Things Considered broadcast a correction on August 3, 2006 stating that the song "Murder Kitty" sung by Dika Newlin was in fact "Cat Duet" by Gioacchino Rossini.

Corrections:

1. Rossini didn't write Cat Duet. See Duetto buffo di due gatti.

2. There's no mention of Cat Duet at Gioacchino Rossini. Probably should be.

Schumann House, Leipzig

The Schumann House is a cultural site in Leipzig in Germany. The musicians Robert Schumann and his wife Clara lived here for their first four years of marriage; there are now exhibition rooms in their former apartment, about their life and work.

Background
The building was constructed, in Neoclassical style, by Friedrich August Schiedel in 1838. Robert and Clara Schumann, after their marriage in September 1840, lived here until 1844 in an apartment on the first floor.

Guests the Schumanns received here include Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Liszt and Hector Berlioz. Works composed by Robert Schumann during this period include the Spring Symphony, the three String Quartets and the Piano Quintet.

Exhibition
The building, apart from the exhibition rooms on the first floor, is now the independent primary school "Clara Schumann". Among the exhibition rooms are the Schumann Salon, where the Schumanns received guests; the Travel Room, which is concerned with concert tours to Denmark in 1842 and Russia in 1844; and the Sound Room (Klangraum), designed in the style of the Biedermeier period, which contains an interactive sound installation by the artist Erwin Stache.

Talk:Allophilia

This article is dubious
This article is dubious. Its premise and presentation is fundamentally flawed.

The premise that "allophilia" was coined by Pittinsky and used in 2006 is incorrect. "Allophilia" was used by Sponsler in her 2000 book, "Alien Nations". According to this Google n-gram, use of the term was recorded from the 1950s: link.

The presentation of the article that allophlia is a fundamental part of sociology is wanting. The article does not provide evidence that allophilia has become a mainstream part of the research and teaching of sociology. Acceptable evidence could be the insertion of the concept into sociological university curriculums and textbooks (and then citing these).

The article is essentially a description of the research into allophilia by a few authors. Unfortunately, that is not a place for Wikipedia. It may be better put in sociological forums. Or, if the article must remain, it ought to be retitled "Research into allophilia", and rewritten to reflect that it is about the research. (Of course, the fundamental error of coining needs to be corrected, though that alone casts the entire article in a dark light.)

Untitled
I think this article should receive one of those nice tags, but I don't know how to do that, so I'll bring it up here instead...

To me, this article seems to focus more on describing the results of some primary research, rather than giving a general explanation of the word, as is the intention of the site (as I have understood it). I'm not quite sure what requirements exist, but regardless of whether this article meets them, I feel it could be rewritten to give a clearer definition of the word. 2006-03-20 16:50 GMT - G_urr_A

I would like to point out that this text:

"The image below locates allophilia vis-à-vis its related constructs of prejudice and tolerance."

is not correct, because there is no "image below." I'd like to see one, but not sure what he author meant, so can't contribute by producing one.

 * The article list of allophilias don't include disability, because there are many people trying to be "nice" to people with disabilities. Disability needs to be included. Allophilia is a loaded word itself by those criticized political correctness a first step to transform a society (the majority or those with privileges) into one giving their privileges and status away in the name of tolerance or equality. A bit of a far-fetched opinion on what creates allophilia in persons, but Allophilia isn't a pandemic in North American society that I know of . + Mike D 26 13:33, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

This article seems like original research to me, particularly the last paragraph. I also noted that the citations are from the same author and are not in a peer-reviewed journal, but rather a publisher, who can print whatever they hell they want, be it true or not. Of course, the 'science' of sociology comes across like anyway, since without anything to discover, they just sit around, making new words up for shit we already know. I have never heard this term and I have a vocabulary in six figures. I think this article should be deleted and 'allophilia' should be moved to wiktionary as a definition, if it is a legitimate word at all. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:34, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, it doesn't matter whether something was published in a book or in a peer-reviewed journal as far as wikipedia is concerned. For that matter, making the distinction on a wikipedia talk page (where people being able to "print whatever the hell they way, be it true or not" is taken to its logical extreme) might be the most ironic thing ever.MrCheshire (talk) 19:08, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I think the concerns expressed above stand. I have proposed this article for deletion. Miguel Andrade (talk) 09:34, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Agreed. It is original research, unfortunately.
 * If not the article being deleted, it ought to be re-written, such that it expresses that 'these' were the research of 'this group.'
 * The leading statement: "In sociology, allophilia is having a positive attitude towards outgroup members." is misleading. Firstly, it says "in sociology"... the article was penned by the original author and is fairly recent (2000s). Can a single person claim ownership of the entire field of sociology to declare the inclusion of a particular phenomenon is inherent in that field? It could be re-written "In sociological research.... "
 * Isn't allophilia just prejudice? Already having positive feelings towards something one hasn't experienced? KendrjickWright (talk) 08:01, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Allophilia scale
A prejudice in theory is a preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience, regardless of whether this opinion is positive or negative. Therefore the entire little "Allophilia scale" graph is preposterous, as it proposes that allophilia is the antonym of prejudice. Allophilia is but positive prejudice; it is just as irrational as negative prejudice. Furthermore, the arrows in the graph make it look like allophilia is the direction in which one must strive which is -again- risible. The middle -that is, neutrality- would be the idea point of balance. Also, this entire article is quite ridiculous. This is but a neologism, isn't it? Oulipal (talk) 22:03, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Agreed. Oxford Languages definition of prejudice: "preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience." (link).
 * This can be "negative" prejudice or "positive" prejudice in the English-language.
 * Also, the person who coined the term could not find an antonym in the dictionary.... which dictionary and in which languages? The full Oxford English Dictionary is over 500k words (https://www.oed.com/). And there are many words in other languages, that don't have a direct single-word translations into English, e.g. "estar" in Spanish. KendrjickWright (talk) 07:51, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

This article describes a neologism, and its sources are mostly self-published
It appears that most of this article's sources were written by User:Tpittinsky, who is also the original author of this Wikipedia article (as seen in this edit here). Several more non-self-published sources should be added to this article, if any reliable sources can be found. (talk) 21:50, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
