Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Girls (Yung Baby Tate album)

The result was keep. There is consensus to keep this article in some form (either as an article about the album, or about the rapper, or both). WP:A9 does not apply because the fact that the album received WP:SIGCOV is itself a credible claim of significance. (non-admin closure) feminist (talk) 02:16, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Girls (Yung Baby Tate album)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This album got one review from Pitchfork (already cited) but I can find nothing else in reliable sources and the article is otherwise dependent on social media announcements and basic retail listings. Also, This album could be eligible for speedy deletion per WP:A9 because there is no article on the rapper, but maybe the album's importance is boosted by the reviews it has received. There is very little to find about the rapper besides tidbits in the reviews and this:. There might be enough for a stub article about her, but that should come before an article for this album. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:43, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Note: I have altered my nomination to reflect the existence of various reviews as noted by Aoba47 below. I missed most of those in my WP:BEFORE search, perhaps due to the album's generic title. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk|Contribs) 00:13, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:43, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment: This XXL source, 1, briefly mentions the album. HotNewHipHop published an article, 2, about the album. The Fader, Paper, and BroadwayWorld also put out articles about specific songs from the album, 345. Genius published an article about the album's lyrics, 6, Pitchfork also put out a second article about one of the album's songs, 7, and NPR has done a review for the album, 8. A majority of the articles that I have found focus on songs from the album, but I have also located a few sources that discuss the album. I agree that an article about the rapper would be the ideal starting point, but there does appear to be coverage on this album. I am leaning keep, but I am not completely certain so I am not casting a vote either way. Here are some additional sources. I broke down some of them above to avoid just putting put a list of links without any context:<PHONE_NUMBER>41516. Aoba47 (talk) 20:23, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the update. The album's title is very generic so it is understandable how a before search may have missed these sources. That is one of the most frustrating parts about working on an article about a generically named subject matter lol. Aoba47 (talk) 19:31, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ST47 (talk) 18:54, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - The sources found by Aoba47 seem sufficient to me. — Rhododendrites  talk \\ 05:12, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - given the sources that I have located and listed above, I feel that WP:GNG has been fulfilled here. Aoba47 (talk) 21:23, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I have no dispute with this, but we may need a Yung Baby Tate article to go with the album, because someone may still call for deletion under WP:A9, rightly or wrongly. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:02, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with that. Aoba47 (talk) 20:48, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

The above two senses are usually not difficult to distinguish as long as one knows whether the lemma of the verb ends in. If it does, it is usually not a transitive verb (since most verbs have a passive or reflexive meaning) so it will be probably an (indefinite) singular. On the other hand, if the lemma of the verb has no, the only option is the definite plural.

Île Sans Nom

The Île Sans Nom (French: Island With No Name), also known as the Île Mystérieuse (Mysterious Island) or Tahiti, is an island in the Gironde estuary in south-west France. It appeared after the 2009 Cyclone Klaus led to increased deposition of sediment and lies near the historic Cordouan Lighthouse. It is regarded as an important emerging ecosystem and efforts have been made to protect the island from human intrusion. Officially it lies within the department of Gironde but in 2015 was occupied by a group claiming it for Charente-Maritime.

2009 appearance
The island, known as Île Sans Nom (French: island with no name), appeared after Cyclone Klaus struck the Gironde estuary on 23 January 2009. A European windstorm that progressed through France, Spain and Italy killing 26 people and causing widespread destruction, the cyclone caused rapid coastal erosion in Charente-Maritime. Some of the sediment accumulated in the estuary, adjacent to the Corduan platform, the remains of an earlier limestone island since lost to erosion. The platform, partly exposed at low tide, is the site of France's oldest standing lighthouse, the 1611 Cordouan Lighthouse. The sediment augmented an existing sand bank approximately 1 mi east of the lighthouse until it became a permanent fixture, visible at high tide.

Soon after it formed the island, lying at the boundary between the estuary and the Atlantic Ocean, was measured at 11 acre above high tide level and some 240 acre in the intertidal zone. Initially unclaimed by any local municipality the island came to be known as Île Sans Nom but was also named L'Île Mystérieuse by locals after the 1875 Jules Verne novel. It was considered possible at the time that the island would disappear as quickly as it had appeared, though some experts considered it could become permanent.

Later history
The island offered ecologists an opportunity to study the development of a new ecosystem by colonising species, a rare experience in Europe as these are usually associated with new volcanic islands. Within months of its appearance the first plants, insects and gulls had arrived on the island and by 2010 12 plant species and 30 species of invertebrates were present, of which around a third were considered well established. The estuary is rich in marine life and lies on an important bird migration route. Quantities of sea rocket on the island provide sustenance for flies, who are preyed upon by invertebrates who also feed on debris left by the gulls. Spiders, blown across by the wind, and ants, travelling by driftwood, have also been recorded on the island.

The fragile ecosystem is vulnerable to trampling and has been placed at risk by human landings on the island. Several music parties, attended by hundreds of people, have disturbed nesting birds and the island has been used as a landing site by the local parachute club. Plans were made in 2011 to place the island under protection as part of a maritime conservation zone. The island was since brought within the commune of Le Verdon-sur-Mer in the Gironde department for administrative purposes.

The island survived Cyclone Xynthia in February 2010 but lost 3.5 acres of its surface area and was moved 50 m east. On 5 October 2015 a group of 50 people landed on the island and claimed it for the department of Charente-Maritime. The group renamed the island "Tahiti" and an aircraft chartered to tow a banner reading "L’île Tahiti est aux Charentais" ("Tahiti island belongs to the Charentais"). The flag of the department was erected and the official song of the department sung. The island was recognised as a hazardous destination by the port authorities in nearby Royan, Charente-Maritime. A notice to mariners was issued in 2017 regarding the island and signs were erected on it requesting that people do not land on it.

Collaboration?

Hi Magefile

I have a similar project and I looking for help to finish it off - see http://www.nongnu.org/fhsst. My name is Mark Horner and we'd like to put all our content on the web in the end but we are looking for help to finish it off. The licence is also the GFDL so all of the content can be imported into Wikibooks - in fact that would make it easier for us to put it on the web.

Please let me know if you could be convinced to help out - all my details are on the website.

--

Mark: thank you for your invitation. Unfortunately, I won't be able to help out with your project; I don't have the time to commit to anything more than a few minutes on the weekend (which is what Wikibooks is for me). I do not have any formal qualifications, and have not yet finished university, so I do not know how much I could contribute anyway - again, Wikibooks is great because it's a weekend hobby for everyone. Finally, what drew me to wikibooks is the anonymity - I hate giving out my identity, having my email available on the web, etc.

However, as you pointed out, your project is FDL, so you can take what you need from Wikibooks. I encourage you to take anything of mine as well, as long as it stays under that license. (You don't need the permission, as it's already FDL. But if you wish to get consent from the author(s) first anyway, consider my consent given)

I am very pleased to see a serious effort being made to provide a Free textbook that will be used in a high school (wikibooks is wonderful, but no schools are planning to use it any time soon). I do wonder, though - is English the dominant language in South Africa, or are you writing it in English in order to allow international work on, and use of, the project? Or perhaps both?

Thanks again.

-

---

I will probably be contributing mostly to the math/science areas (specifically, trig, algebra, geometry and physics).

If you wish to respond to something I've written elsewhere, post it on this page. --magefile 02:23, 13 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Delete Wait, didn't I just comment on this? Oh, that was for the list of 3rd edition monsters, not 3.5 edition monsters.  There might be a place for articles on D&D monsters on Wikipedia.  This article just shows that either D&D is not nearly as culturally intrusive as its proponents think or that there is a massive media conspiracy to ignore it at every turn.  There are no secondary sources. I could see, maybe, having a "List of D&D monsters" article that listed monsters that are either unique to D&D (e.g. the Beholder) or are uniquely interpreted by D&D (Bahamut and Tiamat), but not making a giant table of contents of every book published by Wizards of the Coast between 2000 and the present.Rockphed (talk) 17:52, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Much like at Articles for deletion/List of Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition monsters, this list is basically just a transcription of the table of contents of a bunch of D&D books. Its not particularly useful as a navigation tool, and there are no reliable sources discussing specifically the 3.5 D&D monsters as a group, making it fail the notability requirements of stand alone lists.  Like Rockphed said, a singular list of the few actual notable D&D monsters would probably be a valid list, with actual sources to support the notability of the grouping.  These basically copied book contents, however, are not and do not.  Rorshacma (talk) 17:57, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Twenty-two passengers and one crew member on ALM Flight 980 drowned when the Overseas National Airways DC-9 jet ran out of fuel and made a forced landing in the Caribbean Sea, 33 mi from the nearest land, the island of Saint Croix in the United States Virgin Islands. The Antillean Airlines flight had departed New York City at 11:00 a.m. for St. Maarten, with 57 passengers and a crew of six, and, after two unsuccessful attempts at landing at Juliana Airport, was cleared for an emergency landing at St. Croix and ditched in the ocean at 3:48 p.m. Forty survivors able to depart the plane and were rescued by helicopters from the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marines, while the other 23 were trapped on the sinking airplane.
 * In the aftermath of a protest the evening before, an estimated 500 students from Kent State University (KSU) went off campus after midnight and into the streets of downtown Kent, Ohio, smashing windows of local businesses and of cars parked on the street, prompting the imposition of an 8:00 p.m. curfew for Saturday night. Five police officers were injured, and 14 students were arrested before tear gas was used to disperse the crowd at 3:00 a.m. Later in the day, a group of 600 protesters set fire to the ROTC building on the KSU campus, prompting Kent mayor Leroy M. Satrom to ask for the Ohio National Guard; 400 guardsmen were dispatched from nearby Akron and deployed on campus.

Within three years, he would win the first of four world championships, and would become a gold medalist at the 1976 and 1984 Olympic games. In connection with its centennial celebration in 2011, the World Archery Federation honored him as "Archer of the Century."
 * U.S. Senator Ralph Yarborough, at one time one of the most powerful members of the U.S. Senate, was defeated by former Congressman Lloyd Bentsen, Jr. in a statewide primary election to determine the Democratic Party nominee.

 * Blessed Leonardo Murialdo of Turin, a 19th-century advocate in Italy for labor reform and the creation of educational institutions, was canonized as a Saint in the Roman Catholic Church by Pope Paul VI.

 * At 12:24 in the afternoon, four college students were shot and killed at Ohio's Kent State University, and nine others wounded by Ohio National Guardsmen, during a protest against the incursion into Cambodia. Around noon, the Guardsmen fired tear gas into the crowd of 500 protesters, and some demonstrators threw rocks and threw back tear gas grenades. According to an eyewitness, one student threw a rock as the Guardsmen were turning away to leave the area and "one section of the Guard turned around and fired and then all the Guardsmen turned around and fired." A later investigation determined that about 28 members of the Guard had fired their rifles, with 61 shots in the space of 13 seconds.  Eight National Guardsmen would be indicted in 1973 for the shooting, and would be acquitted. On May 1, 2007, a student's audio of the recording would be released that included the moment that the command was given to prepare to fire. After the killings, several eyewitnesses said that the initial gunshots, that might have led the Guardsmen to believe they were under attack, had been an ill-timed warning shot fired by a 21-year-old student who was working as an informant for the campus police and for the FBI.
 * On the same day, seven members of the U.S. Army's 101st Assault Helicopter Battalion were killed in the mid-air collision of a Huey UH-1H and a Cobra AH-1G during a practice Red Alert at Fire Support Base Kathryn in the Thua Thien province of South Vietnam.

May 5, 1970 (Tuesday)

 * The Sahaja Yoga religious movement was founded at the village of Nargol in India's Gujarat state, after Nirmala Srivastava reported her discovery of what she described as "the technique to open the Sahasrara chakra, the energy centre located at the crown of the head" and making it "possible for anyone to experience self-realization". The decades that followed, Sahaja Yoga centers have been established worldwide, reportedly in 80 countries.
 * Prince Norodom Sihanouk, who had been deposed as the reigning monarch of Cambodia on March 12, announced from Beijing that he had formed a government-in-exile that would ally with the Communist government of China and the Cambodian Khmer Rouge to overthrow head of state Lon Nol.

The pre-dawn assault on the American fire support base in the Quang Tri Province, near Cam Lo, lasted for 45 minutes; three South Vietnamese Army soldiers also died. Most of the dead were from the 2nd Battalion of the 501st Infantry Regiment. The deaths marked the highest loss of American soldiers in a single day's action since 1968.
 * The first wristwatch to use an LED display, the Pulsar watch, was introduced by the Hamilton Watch Company with a demonstration on The Tonight Show. After being told that the Pulsar's retail price was $1,500 (equivalent to $9,970 in 2019), Johnny Carson quipped, “The watch will tell you the exact moment you went bankrupt!”
 * Yūichirō Miura of Japan became "The Man Who Skied Down Everest" (the title of a 1975 film) when he skied down the Lhotse face of Mount Everest after starting from the South Col at an altitude of more than 24000 ft.

 * Leadership of the west African nation of Dahomey (now Benin) was transferred to a civilian control by a three-man presidential council, with the unusual feature of rotating the presidency for two-year terms among all three of the leading candidates in the March election. In addition to rotating the job, each man had his own cabinet of ministers.

 * In Minneapolis, Minnesota a senior deputy clerk of Hennepin County District Court, administered oaths to Michael McConnell and Jack Baker after taking down their information on an application for a marriage license. Baker, a law student at the University of Minnesota, had determined that since state law did not prohibit a marriage between people of the same gender, he and his partner would have the same rights as a man and a woman.

 * The 120-year old Britannia Bridge, an historic landmark that connected the Welsh island of Anglesey to the British mainland, was heavily damaged and rendered impassable by when two teenagers accidentally set it afire. The tubular bridge across the Menai Strait had been built by structural engineer Robert Stephenson and had carried rail traffic since 1850. Although the island's 57,000 residents could still drive across the strait on the Menai Suspension Bridge, the primary source of Anglesey's economy—the use of the port of Holyhead to transport cargoes between the United Kingdom and Ireland—was shut down by the loss of the railroad. A reconstructed bridge would finally open to rail traffic on January 30, 1972, after British Rail's spending of £3,250,000, equivalent to GBP £49,858,000 or US$61,000,000 in 2019.

One passenger on the plane, which was transporting prospective home buyers from the Atlanta area to the Lehigh Acres Subdivision in Fort Myers, Florida, was killed. The dead in the car were a family of four two parents and two children, and another child who were on their way to a picnic. The accident was traced to the airport by a ground crew, who mistakenly filled the propeller plane's tanks with jet fuel.

 * A 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck Peru at 3:23 in the afternoon local time (20:23 UTC), triggering avalanches in the Andes Mountains that killed tens of thousands of people. The official death toll was 66,794. although later estimates were that 74,000 died and 25,600 were missing. Most of the casualties were residents of towns in northern Peru's Ancash departamento, particularly the Yungay Province. The villages of Yungay and Ranrahirca were completely buried, while the city of Huaraz saw 80% of its buildings destroyed. Only 50 of the 1,850 residents of Ranrahirca (which had rebuilt after being buried in a quake on January 10, 1962) survived, and only 3,000 of Yungay's 19,000 people lived, after both towns were buried beneath ice, rock and mud that rushed down Mount Huascarán. The nearby city of Huaraz suffered 10,000 deaths, and 2,000 died in the city of Chimbote More people would have died in Yungay had it not been for a circus that was taking place on higher ground outside of the town.
 * Opening ceremonies were held to begin the 1970 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. The opener was a 0–0 tie between the host nation and its Group 1 rival, the team of the Soviet Union. Sixteen teams qualified and played over the next three weeks, with the final held on June 21.

ScottishFinnishRadish Thank you for your advice! Sorry for not including the consensus, I’m a total noob here. I agree that having that archive page is helpful and I don’t think we should change the archived page at all. However, the original link is indeed broken and per Wikipedia, “If you find a suitable new URL, then you can edit the parameters within the citation” Wikipedia also suggests the following in order to correct/repair broken links: “ Find a replacement source: Search the web for quoted text, the article title, and parts of the URL. Consider contacting the website/person that originally published the reference and asking them to republish it. Ask other editors for help finding the reference somewhere else, including the user who added the reference. Find a different source that says essentially the same thing as the reference in question.” I hope in some way this satisfies the consensus. Do you think we can have the best of both worlds and keep the archived version as well as edit the link as requested? I assure you that the content on the proposed money.com link is the original content on the old link. I appreciate your help on this, I’m still learning a lot and you’ve been a huge help!

Philanthropy is an occupation?
Wikipedia articles about billionaires would seem a lot less like PR pieces if they stopped featuring things like "donates a lot of money to causes they care about" as an "occupation." Typically, an occupation is what people do to EARN money. If it's something he does while spending money, that's what we call a HOBBY.

Also, transferring Berkshire Hathaway shares to your best friend Bill Gates's personal charity is a lot less philanthropic than it is in the interests of tax writeoffs. That's not an occupation, it's just accounting. 2601:1C0:5E80:7590:9127:89D1:DBFD:5ECD (talk) 22:54, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Insofar as Buffett does not manage his family foundations, and was active in the Gates Foundation only during 2006-2011, I might agree with the first point. He is a donor rather than an professional philanthropist. As for tax deductions for donations of stock, those who have strong opinions about them rarely are able to explain why, and they have no bearing on whether philanthropy is an occupation or not. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:32, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Relationship with son Peter's adopted daughter Nicole
Apparently, despite perhaps not completely seeing eye-to-eye, there's been a rapprochement between the two since the 2006 falling-out- see https://finance.yahoo.com/news/meet-nicole-buffett-granddaughter-legendary-100000314.html, from which: "Enter her grandfather, Warren. “He’s happy I’m doing so well,” Nicole said, mentioning a recent email he sent her saying so. “I think the place in which my grandfather would be able to celebrate NFTs and crypto would be that it supports artists. We come from a family of artists.” Besides Warren’s well-documented dislike, hatred even, of crypto, he and his granddaughter had a reported falling out decades ago, when she was in her 20s. She told Fortune both of these are misunderstood. Yes, Nicole allows, “he has issues with crypto, but I don't think he has any issues with artists being contributors. He's an art appreciator, and my family are all art appreciators.” She also emphasizes that her past disagreements with her grandfather should remain in the past, and talks of reconciliation. “He is happy that I'm finding a way to support myself and exchange what I have to create in this world in the marketplace,” she said. “I think that he respects that. I think that he, of all people, appreciates authenticity, integrity and hard work. Those qualities go hand-in-hand with who an artist is and what an artist brings to our world.” Seems worth including an update on that situation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:36, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Peter Lind Hayes

Peter Lind Hayes (born Joseph Conrad Lind Jr.; June 25, 1915 – April 21, 1998) was an American vaudeville entertainer and film and television actor.

Early life
Hayes was born in San Francisco, the son of Joseph Conrad Lind Sr., a railroad man and amateur singer, and vaudeville entertainer Grace Hayes (1895–1989). Joseph Lind Sr. died when his son was two years old. Hayes attended parochial school in Cairo, Illinois, during his early childhood before moving to the New York City suburb of New Rochelle and continuing his education there.

Career
Hayes made his vaudeville debut with his mother at the age of six. In 1939, his mother sold some jewelry and borrowed $8,000 to open the Grace Hayes Lodge in Los Angeles, where he began working as a nightclub performer.

Hayes appeared in films throughout the 1930s and 1940s and had a significant television career in the 1950s. He often appeared with his wife Mary Healy. During World War II Hayes enlisted in the United States Army Air Forces and appeared in both the play and film of Winged Victory. In 1946, Hayes opened at the Copacabana in New York. This led to an engagement with the Dinah Shore radio show.

Hayes and Healy were the original singers of the Chevrolet jingle "See The U.S.A. In Your Chevrolet" in 1950. (Dinah Shore later sang the song for Chevrolet starting in 1952.) The couple starred in Zis Boom Bah (1941) along with Grace Hayes and were top-billed in the cult fantasy musical film The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. (1953). He also had a considerable reputation as a singer of comic songs, several of which made their way onto record, including "Life Gets Tee-Jus, Don't It".

Hayes may best be remembered for being designated substitute for Arthur Godfrey on both his CBS-TV and radio programs as well as several short-lived television series in which he and Healy co-hosted or co-starred, such as The Peter Lind Hayes Show (1950–51), Star of the Family (1950-1952), and Peter Loves Mary (1960–61). He also appeared on the pilot episode of The Match Game on December 5, 1962. He and his wife Mary were occasional guests on TV quiz shows To Tell the Truth, Password, and What's My Line? In 1964, he appeared in an episode of The Outer Limits, titled "Behold, Eck!", playing the lead role of Dr. Robert Stone, an absent-minded optical engineer and researcher.

Personal life
Hayes was married to Mary Healy from 1940 until his death in 1998.

In 1961, Hayes and Healy co-authored their biography, titled Twenty-Five Minutes from Broadway. The title was inspired by the name of the George M. Cohan musical Forty-five Minutes from Broadway, about the community of New Rochelle, New York where the two lived. They owned Columbia Island in New Rochelle, along the Long Island Sound shore. From that house, they broadcast a weekday breakfast conversation show on New York radio station 710 WOR.

Death
Hayes died from vascular problems in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the age of 82. He was survived by his wife; a son, Peter Michael Hayes, and a daughter, Cathy Lind Hayes.

Battle of Hawija

The Battle of Hawija was an offensive launched in September 2017 by the Iraqi Army, in order to recapture the town of Hawija and the surrounding areas from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

The offensive was concurrent with the 2017 Central Syria campaign by the Syrian Army to capture ISIL territory towards Deir ez-Zor, as well as with the Raqqa campaign (2016–17) conducted by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) against ISIL's de facto capital city and stronghold in Syria.

Background
Hawija, which is located 50 km west of Kirkuk city, had been a bastion of Sunni Arab insurgents since the United States-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. In 2013, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki ordered his forces to open fire on peaceful protesters in Hawija. In return, Sunnis became convinced of using violence to counter Maliki's sectarian policies while also giving substantial support to Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The group captured the city in June 2014 when it seized control of most of northern and western Iraq. It became isolated from the rest of the group's territory in July 2016 during the Mosul offensive and was its last stronghold in Iraq. The offensive had been repeatedly delayed due to various sectarian issues, as well as disagreements over the involvement of the Peshmerga and the Popular Mobilization Forces militia.

Timeline of the offensive
The offensive began on 20 September, from the northwest of Hawija, as Iraqi forces recaptured four villages northeast of al-Shirqat (which itself was captured a year earlier during the 2016 Mosul offensive). On the following day, the Iraqi forces managed to liberate at least 11 villages in the Hawija pocket, killing and wounding several terrorists in the process. The goal of Iraqi forces is penetrating the city of Hawija with several side wings, as they want to secure these important areas in the Kirkuk Governorate. On 22 September, Iraqi forces liberated approximately 140 square kilometers of territory north of the district of Hawija from the Kirkuk Governorate. Led by Hashd Al-Sha'abi (Popular Mobilization Forces), Iraqi forces have liberated at least 15 villages in the Al-Shirqat district, located directly northwest of the country. On 24 September, the Iraqi forces declared that they had finished Phase 1 of the offensive, having liberated all of the areas north of the Al-Zab River, along with some other areas west of the Tigris River and in the northern Makhoul Mountains. They also stated that they killed 200 ISIL militants during the operation. On 29 September, Iraqi forces launched the second phase of the offensive, capturing four villages and entering the town of al-Abbassi. Iraqi forces reported that they killed another 200 ISIL militants on the first day of Phase 2 of the offensive. On 4 October, Iraqi troops entered the city of Hawija; with the local ISIL garrison showing relatively little resistance, the government forces quickly sized several neighborhoods. On the following day, Iraqi forces took control of the city centre and liberated the entire city. On October 8, the Iraqi Army cleared out the remaining ISIL-held points, and with the victory in Hawija, Iraqi Defense Ministry's War Media Cell released an updated map of the country, showing the remaining areas of Iraq under ISIL control now limited to the western Anbar Province and southwestern Nineveh Province.

This offensive saw the first time that large numbers of ISIL fighters had surrendered en masse, instead of fighting to the death. It was also noted that in the "Hawija Pocket," ISIL fighters put up little to no resistance at all, other than planting bombs and booby traps.

Iraqi war hero Abu Tahsin al-Salhi was killed in action within this operation, on September 29, 2017.

Online OsiriX Documentation/Exporting DICOM images

< ^ >

With OsiriX, you can export your DICOM images as TIFF, JPEG, RAW or DICOM images or as a Quicktime sequence. This allows you to capture selected images in a format that will allow you to bring them into, for example, PowerPoint or Keynote presentations or import them into a Microsoft Word document.

To export a single image, you can either press apple-copy (Command-C) to copy it to the clipboard or select Export from the 2D Viewer menu. The Export menu item has a submenu to allow specification of the particular image format (TIFF, JPEG etc.). Using the default preferences, OsiriX will export the image as it appears on the screen -- same size, zoom, rotation, window level, etc. You can find the exact size of the image on the upper left corner of the window:

The exported image resolution will be 1266 x 709

The same principle applies for images sequence. Select Export to Quicktime from the Export submenu or click on the Quicktime button from the toolbar. With Quicktime export, you have the possibility to export the image fusion dimension of the 4D viewer dimension, if these modes are activated:

Select which ‘dimension’ you want to export

You can also change the compression mode and playing rate. We recommend the JPEG compression for best quality.

''Modify the compression mode and playing rate (frames per second) ''

The preferences can be changed so that when an image is exported, it retains the original image size. This option is found under the Viewers tab in the Preferences... window (OsiriX menu). If this option is enabled, then a 512 by 512 matrix CT will be exported as a 512 by 512 image. In addition, only the image itself is exported, not the alphanumerics such as the patient name. This is often the appropriate choice for capturing images for presentations or papers.

To view and edit the DICOM header before exporting to DICOM, go to OsiriX Format Menu, select Customize Toolbar, drag the Meta-Data button into your toolbar where you want it, select Done on the toolbar customization window. You can save the Metadata as a text file or XML.
