All the Feels (album)

All the Feels is the fourth studio album by the American neo-soul/pop band Fitz and the Tantrums, their first release since their self-titled album in 2016. It was released on September 20, 2019, through Elektra Records. The digital release of the album has 17 songs, and is the band's longest album to date following Fitz and the Tantrums (2016).

Background
Before the album was released, several singles were dropped over the course of a couple months. The first single, "123456", was released on March 20, 2019. A music video was released on the same day. The next one to be released was "Don't Ever Let 'Em" on April 17, 2019. This song was then followed by "I Need Help!", which was released on May 2, 2019. On June 28, the album was officially announced and able to be pre-ordered, and a song of the same name, "All the Feels", was also released on the same day. The music video "sees Fitz gain a brighter outlook on life after receiving (non-graphic) open-heart surgery." Another song, "I Just Wanna Shine", was released on July 14, 2019. The album was released on September 20.

In an interview, when asked his purpose in making the album, Fitzpatrick said he and the band "[had] been releasing songs every couple weeks." He continued, "[We're] giving people a preview of what it's gonna be like. What's really great is that you get to play it for your fans and right then and there, you kind get a get a sense of what they're feeling and the reaction has been amazing. We worked really hard on this record," he explained. "It's a big record, like 17 songs long, but we wanted to do all the feels." The band actually started with 80 songs and narrowed it down.

Billboard described the album as deep and emotional compared to the band's other works, with some of the "most raw of the songs they've released so far, with a pulsating melody to match the vulnerable - yet uplifting - lyrics like "We dive right into the deep end/ You win, you lose/ You get back up and try again." Another news magazine described the title track "All the Feels" as a song "about wanting more out of a relationship, really trying to feel a connection with somebody," and considered it to be a great summer song.

Touring
The band started their first tour to promote the album with Young the Giant in North America on June 28, 2019, in Columbus, Ohio. It ended on August 16, 2019, in Las Vegas. Another tour after the album's release will pick up on February 28, 2020 in Chicago.

Operators and expressions

Course Navigation

Assignment and Typing
Assignment is setting a value to a variable. Like common mathematics, most languages use a simple equals sign (there are exceptions, e.g. in Pascal, the ":=" operator is used for assignment)

a = 5 blah = "A string"

Note that, in statically typed languages, you cannot change the type of a declared variable at run-time, e.g. :

int a = 5 // We declare a variable "a" of type integer a = "Blah" // ERROR ! "a" type can't be changed to a String ! is invalid in C, C++ and Java.

Dynamically typed languages, such as Python, Ruby, and most scripting languages (e.g. Lua) don't have this limitation, and allow automatic conversions between strings and numbers according to defined rules. "Traditional" programmers sometimes think that dynamically typed languages leads to a worse design, but in the end which language you should use is a matter of personal tastes and the requirements for your project.

Arithmetic Operations
The simple operations like additions and subtraction are exactly the same as in common math. a = 2 + 5 (a equals 7)

b = 4 - 3 (b equals 1)

For operations like multiplication and division, the operators are slightly different than standard mathematics, to avoid confusion with other symbols. Multiplication is denoted by an asterisk (*), division by a slash (/), and modulus by a percent sign (%).

m = 3 * 5 (m equals 15)

d = 20 / 5 (d equals 4)

r = 16 % 3 (r equals 1, since 16 / 3 = 5 with remainder of 1.)

While some rare languages may use different symbols for some operations (e.g. BASIC uses the keyword MOD ), these symbols are the most well known.

Most popular programming languages interpret arithmetic operators in the same way they are interpreted mathematically (notable exceptions being Smalltalk and APL). Often, the order can be explicitly set using parentheses, as well. x = 1 + 2 * 3 (x equals 7)

x = 1 + (2 * 3) (the same as above, but using parentheses)

x = (1 + 2) * 3 (x equals 9, since 1 + 2 is performed before the multiplication by 3)

Boolean Expressions
Boolean refers to expressions that can take either a "true" or a "false" value. Since computers are electrical in nature, true usually takes on the value of flowing current, or the numeric value 1, while false is the absence of current, denoted as a 0.

The following table illustrates how the values can be combined to achieve results. In an AND expression, both expressions must be true for the evaluation to be true, while in an OR expression either or both values being true will cause the evaluation to be true. XOR means "exclusive OR", it will be true only if one OR the other, but NOT both are true.

NOT is the inversion, or opposite, of the input value. This makes a true value false, and a false value true. Common operators for NOT in programming languages are "!" and "~".

!0 == 1 !1 == 0

By combining these elements in various ways, we are able to make fairly complex decisions break down to true or false values.

Neurogliaform cell

Neurogliaform cells (NGF) are inhibitory (GABAergic) interneurons found in the cortex and the hippocampus. NGF cells represent approximately 10% of the total hippocampal inhibitory interneuron population.

In terms of morphology, they are comparatively small and have an unusually high presynaptic bouton density. Almost all NGF neurons express neuropeptide Y (NPY) and are commonly positive for other signalling and non-signalling peptides, including reelin, α-actinin 2, COUP-TFII, and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). However, populations of NGF cells which do not express NPY have been reported in both cortical layer I and the striatum.

Developmentally, in the cortex, all NGF cells are derived from caudal ganglionic eminence (CGE) but NGF cells of the hippocampus have their origins within both the CGE and the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE).

Functionally, NGF cells are GABAergic and their function in the mature brain is inhibition. However, they are suspected to signal more through volume transmission as opposed to the typical chemical synapse. One study found that approximately 78% of neurogliaform cell boutons did not form classical synapses and also indicated that their synaptic boutons are at a larger than usual distance from their target dendrites. Taken together, this and other observations has led to the consensus that NGF cells are likely not involved primarily with “point to point” synaptic transmission but release GABA in a target independent, cloud-like manner to generate a non specific form of inhibitory control (volume transmission).

Wikibooks:Textbook planning

Note: See also Wikiversity page for discussion of Wikiversity / WikiU.

The following areas were recently suggested in the mailing list as important to resolve in regards to the textbook project.

When applicable, list your username to vote for (a) particular opinion(s). (This is a "vote" only in the sense of a show of support; no decision has been taken to count votes in any particular way, or even at all, to make final choices.) Write arguments for your position after the list of options; also add more options if you like. If there's not a list of options, but instead a list of points needing discussion, then you can list more points or give sublists of options for a particular point of discussion. Et cetera.

Name of the project

 * "Open Textbook Project" -- http://www.opentextbook.org - Karl Wick
 * "Free Textbook Project" --
 * "Wikimedia Textbooks" -- Kpjas
 * "Wikipedia Textbooks" --
 * "Wikibooks" (mav owns the urls and plans to transfer them to Wikimedia) -- mav, Toby Bartels, Kpjas, LouI, LittleDan, Thomas, Dhum Dhum
 * "Wikitext" -- Toby Bartels,

The URL could also be http://wikibooks.wikimedia.org/ (owned by the Foundation already). -- Toby Bartels 08:14 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)

We should avoid entering the philosophical debate between "open" and "free" in our name. -- Toby Bartels 08:14 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)

We should continue the tradition of having "wiki" in our name since that is what defines us the most - even more than the free license. --mav 19:44 28 Jul 2003 (UTC)
 * I agree completely with that one. Dhum Dhum 20:11 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)

We should not limit ourselves to being a textbook-only shop - all non-fiction books should be allowed. --mav 19:44 28 Jul 2003 (UTC)
 * Or even fiction books, that would be interesting LittleDan
 * If you are talking about stuff like Huck Finn with annotation and wikified words going to encyclopedia articles, then yes. But we should not be in the business of creating our own fictional worlds. That is a different project. --mav 17:24 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Types of content that are to be covered

 * Traditional textbook content -- Presumably everybody supports this!
 * Do realize that the effort may be futile, no matter the resulting quality. One would need to make a snapshot for some unusually brave (solidly tenured) professors to try, then supply an errata list and print many copies. A live wiki is too unstable to teach a class from. --AlbertCahalan 20:29, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Non traditional textbooks, there are some subjects (especially in science on post-graduate levels) for which there are no traditional textbooks. In such a book its dynamics are not a problem. --IzI 18:07, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Possible other book content:
 * How-to directions like cookbooks -- Toby Bartels,
 * Well, the envisioned Wikibooks' Cookbook might turn out to be a general book about cooking in different cultures with historical background and some conscious consumerism threads
 * The Cookbook is doing very well. It does suffer from problems with: deletionism, case-sensitivity and the Cookbook: prefix ruining normal wiki ease-of-use ( normal easy linking is unusable ), lack of Special:Specialpages specific to the Cookbook, and a sidebar Main_Page link that doesn't go to the main page of the cookbook. --AlbertCahalan 20:29, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Manuals to use certain things (such as a software program)
 * Should be textbook-oriented in presentation. --Maveric149
 * A broad travel guide covering the entire world. -- Dhum Dhum
 * The people at www.wikitravel.org are going to fill that role. Our focus here should be in instructing students - travel guides are informative (like an encyclopedia), not instructive (like a textbook). --mav
 * Other non-fiction works
 * Fiction books. LittleDan
 * Something like a "Cliff's Notes" possibly? --Neolux 15:28 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)
 * Absolutely not newly-created fiction (that is a different project; "Wiktion"). But we should have public domain fiction of already established works (with annotation; such as the works of Mark Twain). We can also have Cliff's Notes-type extensive summaries of works. That would be neat. --mav 17:20 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)
 * Fiction study that does not go very deeply into criticism. Major themes that are universally accepted seem to be the order in textbooks I've dealt with. --Jdl32579 12:57, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Remixes and compilations of free content (Wikipedia, ...). Sometimes all the knowledge is already freely available, all it has to be done is to organize it into a book (thought its not that simple). --IzI 18:07, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I really favor -footnotes-, similar to those found along with biblical texts; I find myself having the need to use 'symbols' [e.g. (†), (‡), and (*)] to use for reference-like footnotes.RekonDog (talk) 10:10, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Key policies

 * While a name hasn't been settled, we'll need a sort of "Wiki" policies for our developer interaction separate from any policies that affect the texts themselves:
 * A proposed outline of textbook considerations is available for Wiki development and discussion.
 * A short outline proposal for a description of processes is open for comment or update at textbook development process.

Timetable for setting things up

 * As it gets done
 * Schedules are for proprietary encyclopedias. LittleDan

Resources and techniques useful in creating educational content

 * Textbook Figures and Diagrams -- I've created a page for the discussion of resources to support the creation of figures and diagrams for wiki textbooks. --StevenBrewer 14:11, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * photographic images
 * diagrams
 * maps
 * chemical/mathematical formulae
 * Javascript quizzes
 * Practise problems in traditional format
 * Flash quizzes
 * I could make some, however, Flash is [en:Proprietary]. It's something we should think about before we dive in head-first. KirbyMeister 20:14, 7 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Java applets
 * cookies
 * flashcards: free version of Flashcard Exchange
 * flashcards, matching, wordsearch, and hangman from StudyStack.com
 * Request Tracker (List of requests) - Some of us can make useful drawings/diagrams/photos in subjects that we wouldn't be qualified to write textbooks for

GNU GPL Server Software to draw ideas from
Implemented on thousands of sites and in 30 languages. See website and development site.
 * Moodle - PHP software that aims to make quality online courses (eg distance education) easy to develop and conduct. Learning and development are guided using a social constructionist philosophy.

 * lon-capa might be a better model to support on-line courses. You can create extremely rich interactive problems and easily integrate many different kinds of resources. --StevenBrewer 14:11, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Potential changes that need to be made to the software

 * Compiling many pages into one large document:
 * A standard book structure (sections) could be created that could be easily translated into LaTeX and further into PDF (with a table of contents and a cover picture). --IzI 17:47, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Automating navigation links within textbooks:
 * Mav's suggestion on the mailing list for modular URLs -- mav,
 * It would be nice if when one comes to the end of a textbook page which one had accessed by clicking on a table of contents entry, one could go on to the next page of the book without having to go back to the table of contents and select the next page from there. On other websites one often sees this done with NEXT buttons; or PREVIOUS for going backwards. -- rew
 * Mav's suggestion as modified by Toby -- Toby Bartels, mav (I very much like Toby's improvements)
 * WikiGroups has already been developed with another php/GPL wiki; - this will allow us to have one TOC/Index per Wikibook but I think we can tweak that software to make it possible to have more than one TOC/Index per book (the trick would be to add the TOC/Index's name after a ? to every link on the TOC/Index page - then when you click on a link to a module, the WikiGroup code on that page will know which %trail% to dispaly. Those links in turn would have the TOC/Index's name after a ? but only for links in the %trail%).
 * Karl's idea to nest URLs in a way that reflects the structure of the book
 * Yet another proposal from Magnus Manske
 * In a related note an automatically generated index (cached!?) would make any textbook more useful m.linger
 * separation of books' contents from each other and from meta information (or rather a means to filter thing out)
 * This should be possible when categories are implemented for Wikipedia.
 * Wikipedia namespace moved to Wikibooks: or something like that when the name is settled

Proposal
The project wikibooks does not seem to be enjoying the same sort of growth that the original wikipedia did. There are probably a number of reasons for this. I shall give a few reasons I think are important and then follow up with some suggestions for the action that could be taken to remedy this.

1) Wikibooks requires a different logon to wikipedia. IMHO it would be better for the project if existing wikipedia developers could be automatically part of wikibooks.  This would allow more free movement of labour from wikipedia to wikibooks.  A strong motivating factor for people developing in wikipedia is the racking up of credit in the form of edited articles.  Why not allow create a contributions page that gives credit to all material worked on in any wiki project?

2) Wikibooks is not interconnected in the same way that wikipedia is. There is a clear need for a different structure to the books as they are meant to be (at least eventually) printed and should therefore have a linear style.  However, if links were made in such a way that they could deleted without interfering with the quality of the text then we could have the same interconnection that wikipedia has without that necessarily causing problems with the style of the books.

 * We need a way to designate sections as being developer areas (but within the actual text itself) We could produce a special heading "Developer's notes and links" which has a template (to ensure consistent usage.

 * We need a special link type that represents a temporary link for development purposes. This would allow the developer links and comments necessary to speed up development.  But at the same time would allow these links to be removed with ease when the wikibook is downloaded.  (Of course links just to wikipedia should be fairly easy to remove automatically although it might help if they appeared in a different colour to remind developers that that material reffered to will not be available to the readers of printed versions.

3) Also links can be made from relevent pages of wikipedia to wikibooks. This should draw in much more labour to liven up wikibooks.  This is one thing that I can implement on my own. So I shall start introducing a section on some selected wikipedia pages entitled "relevent wikibooks".  I may also start links to wikibooks in the main text of some articles in wikipedia.  However, without 2) we may find that people learn to ignore links to wikibooks as they are deadends.

Please comment on these proposals. <IP_ADDRESS> 11:44, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC) (Barnaby dawson)

At least one wikibook is interconnected in the same way that wikipedia is. The Cookbook is highly self-connected. If anything, some connections need to be severed. At the bottom of most recipes you will find a Categories link. This should list all the categories in the cookbook. Unfortunately, it lists all sorts of other random unrelated stuff. Cookbook info is drowned out by the noise. --AlbertCahalan 20:40, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Is #2 really the case? I tend to think that Wikibooks should be created to best serve the user. If that best way is by creating a non-linear book, so be it. Let's use the medium we have and not be tied to an old communication medium. liblamb 05:28, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Learning a new topic needs to be linear (at least to an extent). For example, learning about ionic bonding in chemistry before learning about the periodic table would be very difficult. Coming back to a topic you have already learnt is when non-linear content is generally more useful (which is where GOOD appendices and indices come in). m.linger 02:06, 06 Jul 2005 (UTC)

 * Maybe the most important thing is increasing the ability for this 'free movement of labour' from wikipedia. There is vast untapped potential for all those experts to get interested in and excited about wikibooks. The two best ways, which I think have been floated around as nebulous proposals for some time, are as mentioned above - automatic or connected logon for existing wikipedia editors, and very simply, far more links to wikibooks for the click-happy wikipediholics! Is there anywhere on Wikipedia fairly heavily trafficked by people with the technical knowhow that could support or rubbish these suggestions? Mark Lewis 22:21, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Internationalization
Yes, please!

History of Sri Lanka: pre-Colonial era (500 BC – 1505 AD)
AFD discussions of this article:
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

This article is a very out of date collage of other history of Sri Lanka articles and is not a total representation of of the time mentioned, it is very poorly done. Also the history of Sri Lanka does not separate into pre and post colonial periods, all the appropriate sub articles already exist. Blackknight12 (talk) 14:56, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep That sounds like WP:RUBBISH. The article certainly needs clean up, possibly reduction in size, but that's not a reason to delete - there are enough references in there to warrant an article. -- Ritchie333  (talk)  15:03, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - Sure the quality of the article can be upgraded, but the point is that everything in this article has been taken from one of the other subpages that have been properly spun off. And you missed the point that the history of Sri Lanka is not defined by pre and post colonial periods. The colonial era was just a fraction of the nation's 2500 year written history.--Blackknight12 (talk) 15:32, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - I agree with the nominator that this namespace does not seem useful in describing Sri Lanka's history, and there are already articles on the History of Sri Lanka as well as for Ancient history of Sri Lanka, Medieval history of Sri Lanka, and Colonial history of Sri Lanka. Nothing is to be gained by having an article that artificially combines two of these three periods based on them having nothing more in common than that they aren't the third.  Useful, non-duplicative material should be moved to either the general article (which, by the way, could use quick summaries of the individual kingdoms within the medieval period), or the pages for individual periods. Agricolae (talk) 01:55, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge with History of Sri Lanka, Anuradhapura Kingdom, Chola dynasty, Polonnaruwa Kingdom, Kingdom of Dambadeniya and Jaffna kingdom. I notice that some parts of the article, for example Kingdom of Dambadeniya, have already been merged with the appropriate articles. The rest of the article should also be merged, preserving the vital references and further reading material. But there is no reason for this article to exist separately, because it falls under the broad category of Hitory of Sri Lanka, and there exists a separate series of articles that deal with each era. A STRONOMYINERTI A  ( TALK ) 17:44, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge. My answer is almost the same as Astrmonyinertia's. I would also like to add that, when one speaks of precolonial era, the time limits tend to differ depending on the context. In a political context or if one is interested in tracing the history of the divisions which existed in the island, then it generally refers to the time right before the colonial entry into the island in 1505. Colonial era for the different parts of the island was quite different. Eg. for a good part of the Sinhalese people, namely the Kandyans, the colonial era doesn't start until 1815, when the Kandyan kingdom fell. In other words, the Kandyans have no history of Portuguese and Dutch colonial rule - they just had encounters with these colonial powers, mainly in the form of war, trade and negotiations. Sri Lanka's colonial period proper starts in 1815, with the whole island coming under foreign rule, and in the literature related to SL, one will therefore often find that scholars treat the period right upto 1815 as pre-colonial in many contexts. Also as Blackknight12 has pointed out, Sri Lanka's history is not (usually) dealt with, by dividing it in this manner and there are other sub-articles which deal with all the topics in the almost 2000 year period this single article tries to deal with by squeezing them into short paragraphs. --SriSuren (talk) 03:38, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Multiple Merge -- This is certainly not rubbish. The problem is that it si duplicating History of Sri Lanka and its more detailed sub-articles.  It is trying to cover everything up to 1505.  We have Ancient history of Sri Lanka and Medieval history of Sri Lanka, which should be sufficient.  However, the latter has a section that merely consists of a list of links to main articles on each kingdom.  This could do with expansion to provide a general account of the subject.  Peterkingiron (talk) 13:32, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - I understand the reasoning for merging with other articles but I doubt this article contains any content that other articles don't - it's simply been copied from other articles. The section on Jaffna kingdom is the lead from Jaffna kingdom, the Books and magazines section is copied from the Further reading section of History of Sri Lanka.-- obi2canibe talk contr 15:09, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Boyfriend (Best Coast song)

"Boyfriend" is a song recorded by American rock duo Best Coast and produced by Lewis Pesacov for their debut studio album Crazy for You (2010). It was released as the lead single from the album on June 29, 2010.

Background
The song opens with a drum fill that the Los Angeles Times likened to the one from "Badlands" by Bruce Springsteen. Cosentino later noted this was unintentional, saying "People think we ripped it off, but Bobb claims he had no idea."

The duo performed the song in their television debut on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on January 3, 2011.

Reception
The song was released on June 29, 2010 as an iTunes free Discovery Download.

Pitchfork Media designated it Best New Track upon its release, with reviewer Larry Fitzmaurice writing, "'Boyfriend' is the latest in a string of great songs from [Best Coast]...their sun-kissed sound is here to stay, and at this point she wears it like a good pair of shades—the scrubbed-up production values are a good thing." The Chicago Tribune Greg Kot felt the song "almost uplifting, in part because she [Cosentino]'s got the kind of strong, transparent voice that recalls the charm and innocence of the best girl-group singers of the ‘60s. She’s yearning for something she can’t have, yes, but it’s nothing a walk on the beach couldn’t cure."

Allan Raible of ABC News noted that "These two styles [surf and punk] are not often put together, but make an appealing combination."

Accolades
NME included at number 49 on its 2012 list of "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years", stating "It was the timeless quality of the track that made it feel like it could have been made at any point during rock and roll’s 60-year history."

Music video
The song's music video, directed by Taylor Cohen, depict Best Coast as a party band for a girl's quinceanera. The clip was shot at Kenneth Hahn Park in September 2010, and it debuted on MTV the following October. "All the other ideas we got were about me being with a dude, which seemed too straightforward and obvious," said Cosentino of the concept. She described quinceaneras in general as "very L.A., very California."

10th Anniversary Edition
In 2020 the duo rerecorded the song with LGBTQ-inclusive lyrics and released it as a single. For example, the new song opens: I wish he was my boyfriend I wish she was my girlfriend I’d love them till the very end But instead they are just a friend I wish he was my boyfriend The proceeds from the new song were donated to The Trevor Project, a nonprofit supporting LGBTQ+ youth.

Wikiversity:Signature

In order for others to see who wrote a certain entry, it is customary to sign posts to talk (or "discussion") pages. This page explains how you can create an automatic signature that links back to your user page. Please do not sign your contributions on content pages. To see who has edited a content page check its history.

How to add your signature
You can add a signature to a post by writing four tildes at the end. After you save your post, a link to your user page will appear (if you haven't registered, your user page will be your IP address). There are two ways to sign your posts:

1. Simply type four tildes (~), like this:  ~.

2. Use the edit toolbar. The edit toolbar is an option (see Special:Preferences; use the "Editing" preferences pane). When you click the signature icon the four tildes for a signature are inserted into the edit window.

There are several different ways, tildes can be used:

How to customize signatures
The preferences dialog provides an option to customize your signature nickname. To enable wiki markup there, check the Raw signature box. Now you can enter your new signature Nickname using wiki markup. After saving your changes, your new signature will appear whenever you sign a post.

Many Wikiversity participants include a link to their talk page in their signature. The following code entered under Nickname in the preferences dialog creates that link:

Of course, this can be customized further to meet one's needs.

Colorful signatures
In general, signatures should be fairly short and not too distracting. While colors aren't in general a problem, one should avoid drawing too much attention to one's signature. Excessive customization distracts readers who try to follow long discussions on a talk page. Specifically, you may not transclude a page in your signature.

Missing signatures
If a user has forgotten to sign their post, you can add a signature subsequently by using unsigned. The template also reminds users that they need to sign their posts. You use the template as follows:
 * 050978

Most Wikiversity pages have an associated "talk page" for discussions. When you contribute to a discussion on a talk page, add your signature.

Test area
You can test your sigature here, or in the Sandbox. Give it a try! --Melanie Bahena 20:55, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Untitled
Link to the Irish High Court: Strictly speaking Barton was not appointed to the modern Irish High Court, which was not established until the 1920s, but to an earlier High Court which was abolished when the current Court came into existence. I may have to do an article sometime about the court system of Ireland under the Union, which (at least for the superior courts of record) was much the same as the one in England and Wales during the period. However for the moment the existing link is probably the best we can do. --Gary J 00:22, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:David Korten

POV issues
This reads like a sales brochure for Mr. Kosten's efforts. Mangoe 21:31, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I can't find any rational argument here for adding a POV tag. re insert it when you have actual documentation of pov or bias.

 * I think it's pretty obvious that the article is written from the perspective of a Korten supporter. He is responsible for "powerful strategies."  It is "evident" that "USAID and other large official aid donors" are unable to apply the Ford Foundation's approach.  "Korten came to realize that the crisis of deepening poverty, growing inequality, environmental devastation, and social disintegration he was observing in Asia was also being experienced in nearly every country in the world -- including the United States and other "developed" countries."  And then there's this gratuitous bit of promotional fluff: "His publications are required reading in university courses around the world. He is also a popular international speaker and a regular guest on talk radio and television."  Jordansc 05:26, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

 * "a leader in the global resistance against corporate globalization"? Seriously, the "global resistance?" What is this, "Terminator?" I'm tempted to go hear Dr. Korten speak tonight, but this write-up gives me pause. S. Ugarte (talk) 23:32, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm fairly new to Wikipedia (editing, that is), but I think there's a "tag" or something which may better address this. I have seen Talk and History pages in the past say something to the effect of "Reads like advertising copy."  I think that might be a better fit than getting into a back-and-forth on POV/NPOV issues.

David C. Korten
David C. Korten is board chair of the Positive Futures Network, publishers of YES! A Journal of Positive Futures, and founder and president of The People-Centered Development Forum.

Korten has thirty years of field experience in Asia, Africa, and Latin America as a writer, teacher, and consultant on development management, alternative development theory, and the strategic roles of nonprofit organizations in advancing social and economic transformation.

He is a former faculty member of the Harvard Business School and the author of nine previous books including the best-selling "When Corporations Rule the World".

Dr. David C. Korten has over thirty-five years of experience in preeminent business, academic, and international development institutions as well as in contemporary citizen action organizations.

Trained in economics, organization theory, and business strategy with M.B.A. and Ph. D. degrees from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, his early career was devoted to setting up business schools in low income countries -- starting with Ethiopia while still a doctoral candidate at Stanford -- in the hope that creating a new class of professional business entrepreneurs would be the key to ending global poverty.

After graduation, Korten completed his military service during the Vietnam War as a captain in the U.S. Air Force, serving in Air Force headquarters command, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the Advanced Research Projects Agency.

He then served for five and a half years as a Visiting Associate Professor of the Harvard University Graduate School of Business where he taught in Harvard's middle management, M.B.A. and doctoral programs.

He also served as the Harvard Business School advisor to the Nicaragua-based Central American Management Institute.

He subsequently joined the staff of the Harvard Institute for International Development, where he headed a Ford Foundation-funded project to strengthen the organization and management of national family planning programs.

In the late 1970s, Korten left U.S. academia and moved to Southeast Asia, where he lived for nearly fifteen years, serving first as a Ford Foundation project specialist, and later as Asia regional advisor on development management to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

His work there won him international recognition for his contributions to pioneering the development of powerful strategies for transforming public bureaucracies into responsive support systems dedicated to strengthening community control and management of land, water, and forestry resources.

Disillusioned by the evident inability of USAID and other large official aid donors to apply the approaches that had been proven effective by the nongovernmental Ford Foundation, Korten broke with the official aid system.

His last five years in Asia were devoted to working with leaders of Asian nongovernmental organizations on identifying the root causes of development failure in the region and building the capacity of civil society organizations to function as strategic catalysts of national- and global-level change.

Korten came to realize that the crisis of deepening poverty, growing inequality, environmental devastation, and social disintegration he was observing in Asia was also being experienced in nearly every country in the world -- including the United States and other "developed" countries.

Furthermore he came to the conclusion that the United States was actively promoting -- both at home and abroad -- the very policies that were deepening the resulting global crisis. For the world to survive, the United States must change.

He returned to the United States in 1992 to help advance that change. He has since had a leading role in raising public consciousness of the political and institutional consequences of economic globalization and the expansion of corporate power at the expense of democracy, equity, and enviornmental health.

His publications are required reading in university courses around the world. He is also a popular international speaker and a regular guest on talk radio and television.

Need for Critique section
There are a lot of possible criticisms for Korten's arguments which are not featured here. Honestly, I doubt my ability to argue them all, but here is a brief list which I hope someone will expound on.

1. First and foremost Korten is not an Economist, and does not use an economic perspective in his analysis, or his applications.

2. He is very pro regulation, which is fine, but he removes the boundaries between "Government" and "Market" without providing a complete alternative to the two.

3. His definition of Capitalism isn't a commonly accepted definition.

4. He offers a distinction between "Markets" and "Global Capitalism" saying that markets are good, but global capitalism is bad. He fails to adequately describe the bright line between a market, and global capitalism. Antagonist (talk) 03:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

 * ?? "First and foremost Korten is not an Economist" ??

"He is very pro regulation, which is fine, but he removes the boundaries between "Government" and "Market" without providing a complete alternative to the two." Have you read his work properly? is this supposed to be a page discussing your critique of people who do not hold your economic views? "he removes the boundaries without providing an alternative to the two" whats that supposed to mean? never heard worse gibberish. "His definition of capitalism.." ah.. so there is one definition that we all are supposed to adhere to and who pray tell are going to give us this infallible insight and definition? get lost! "the bright line between market and global capitalism".. Exactly what part of this garbage did you want included in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 07:05, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Korten isn't an economist, and, in the talk I heard him give a few months ago, it showed. One of his central arguments hinged upon a definition of GDP that was wrong ("GDP measures the rate at which we use up natural resources" was, I believe, what he said); another involved a misunderstanding of how GDP relates to the current account balance (Korten claimed that GDP would decrease if people bought more domestic goods and fewer imports). Unfortunately, my observations of the above talk are, of course, prohibited original research, but in the interests of fairly and accurately representing Korten, his views, and his expertise, this article is certainly deserving of a little more balance.

 * Korten may be correct (though I don't personally think he is), but much of what he says seems to involve either redefinitions (intentional or not) of technical terminology or contradictions with much of mainstream economics. Again, regardless of ideology, that's something that should be noted in the article. S. Ugarte (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:45, 5 June 2009 (UTC).

 * The only reason Korten's status as an economist is significant enough to note is if he claimed to be one or the article made this claim and there was evidence he was not. If, say, Milton Friedman had said the GDP was the measure of a nation's happiness, I don't think that would disqualify him as an economist and cannot imagine a need to note in any way other than, perhaps to hyperlink to the wiki on GDP.Cronos1 (talk) 23:46, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Hey, I'm not claiming that we should create a criticism section  [ possibly libelous comments removed, per WP:BLP ] Rob (talk).But apparently he's  [ possibly libelous comments removed, per WP:BLP ] Rob (talk) flown largely under the radar with respect to sensible criticism, so there aren't really any notable third party sources pointing out that he's a kook. Thus his kookiness has no place in his article.
 * That said, his status as an economist (professional or amateur) is relevant insofar as his bio (the one here on Wikipedia, and the one he uses professionally--the former, unsurprisingly, closely and uncritically resembles the latter) implies that he has some economic or business credentials (by way of associations with various prestigious business schools), and insofar as that implication bears a direct role in his credibility as someone making economic policy suggestions (OK, so he conceivably really does have an MBA, but he quite evidently knows literally nothing about macroeconomics, which is just weird).
 * I find it, honestly, rather shocking that you claim that whether or not the author of "Agenda for a New Economy" knows anything about economics is not at all relevant to his professional credentials.
 * S. Ugarte (talk) 02:29, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * A little NPOV on your part would be a real good idea. Pronouncing someone a kook, especially someone as highly regarded as Korten is not adviseable or permitted in Wikipedia. Regarding your comments if you can establish that he does not possess these credentials, then you will have a valid editorial point, its best to stay away from "implications" as they are usually not something that is defensable from an NPOV. Economics is known as the "dismal science" for a reason, it doesn't necessarily improve the human condition, and, not infrequently, today's lauded practitioners are tomorrow's fools. In other words, I believe that the author of "Agenda for a New Economy" is not addressing anything as narrow as Keynsian or Friedmanian or Krugmanian economics, and certainly does not preclude his authority to comment on what tommorow's economy will be...Cronos1 (talk) 03:46, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Please. I haven't violated any Wikipedia policy. NPOV is a policy for article pages, not talk pages.

Korten isn't "highly regarded" by very many people--he's not regarded by many people at all, hence the difficulty finding an unbiased review of his book. The few reviews I was able to dredge up were from people like his wife in Yes! magazine. The definition of GDP isn't a point of contention among professional or academic economists (or at least, not in the way that Korten has misused it--for example, I would challenge you to find any source defining GDP as net imports (i.e., exactly the opposite of GDP, but exactly what Korten implied at the talk I attended)). My point wasn't that Agenda for a New Economy is out of phase with currently regarded economic theory (though it is); my point was that Korten doesn't even understand basic economics terminology. You can argue with someone who says 1+1=5; it's hard to argue with someone who says 1+1=an apple. If I can find a credible mainstream review of any of Korten's work, I'll add it to the article. In the meantime, as I said before, I don't believe my own personal views on how crazy Korten is are encyclopedic, which is why I haven't touched the article. If not editing an article is a violation of Wikipedia policy, that's news to me. S. Ugarte (talk) 22:00, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Looking for a credible mainstream review of any of Korten's work? I wonder how hard that would be? According to you, it's nearly impossible to do so and when you do its some heavily biased nepotism scheme. To aid you, I thought I'd plug Kortens name into Infotrac's book review Db. Guess what? 63 reviews ranging from scholarly journals to general interest publications to publishing and library jounals. Here's a sample of some comments on his most famous book, 'Corporations': Choice "The controversial presentation is balanced by a thought-provoking set of recommendations. All levels.", Library Journal "Although Korten speaks from an obviously liberal position, in an era when conservative political voices declare an unswerving faith in the benefits of unfettered free markets, a voice from the opposition offers a welcome balance. Recommended for public and academic libraries." Publishers Weekly "This well-documented, apocalyptic tome describes the global spread of corporate power as a malignant cancer exercising a market tyranny that is gradually destroying lives, democratic institutions and the ecosystem for the benefit of greedy companies and investors." I'm not sure if you have mistaken highly regarded with universally highly regarded, his membership in the Club of Rome alone would tell you that he's highly regarded. I know you think he's not qualified to discuss economic matters, a rather extreme opinion in light of his biography, and I'm sure there are Stanford Business MBAs (1961) & Phd's (1968) that don't understand macroeconomics like you do, but how many of them have articles written about them in peer-reviewed journals? You might want to read "Megacorporate Globalization at Bay: The Interrelation of David Korten with Institutional Economics" in the Journal of Economic Issues and let us know. Korten is an anti-globalist, therefore he disagrees with many free-market based economists and thinkers. For all I know, he's wrong, but that hardly means that he should be misrepresented as some anonymous and ignored incompetant.Cronos1 (talk) 21:16, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I've never heard of Journal of Economic Issues before, but it a) doesn't appear to be peer-reviewed and b) doesn't appear to still be in print. Maybe I'm missing something.
 * I guess I'm not sure what the thrust of your argument is, though. Are you questioning my personal view of the merit of Korten's arguments? I'm not sure this is really the place for that, but as I've said many times before, that view stems from a Korten talk and Q&A I attended, in which numerous obvious and egregious misuses of basic terminology occurred. That has nothing to do with Korten's MBA (an MBA not being, strictly speaking, an economics degree).
 * Or are you questioning my good-faith effort to find credible reviews of Korten's work? I didn't check out Factiva or Lexis Nexis; I did, however, search the Times, Post, Economist, New Yorker, and New Republic for anything mentioning Korten, and didn't turn anything up. Again, it's possible I simply made a mistake.
 * I did imply that reviews of Korten's book by writers at Korten's own magazine should be disregarded. I don't think that's a paranoid view, though you seemingly disagree. S. Ugarte (talk) 04:22, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

"Author John Michael Greer has critiqued the book in another direction,[5][6][7] noting that "[i]n place of the sloppy and richly human realities of politics and culture in the world we actually inhabit, The Great Turning offers up a one-dimensional morality play in which Empire and Earth Community are the only options, and the choice between them is a choice between absolute evil leading to planetary suicide, on the one hand, and radiant goodness leading straight on to utopia on the other."

Who is John Michael Greer and why should anyone care what he says?

Actually, I did some research and found that he is some kind of Archdruid. So, the question "why should anyone care what he says?" is even more to the point than I had thought. ---Dagme (talk) 02:22, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Agreed - to quote at such length and detail the opinion of a non-notable individual is a violation of the Neutrality and Undue Weight policies. Considering the nature of Korten's views, I'd expect there would be likely to be some controversy about his position, but it shouldn't be too hard to track down some balanced pro- and anti- opinions from notable sources. In the meantime, I'll remove that paragraph. DaveApter (talk) 15:38, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Hopefully helpful suggestions for the "External links" section
Dear Korten article editors, - Although I am an editor here, I try not to remove material from Wikipedia biographies. However, I would like to point out to you that the second and third entries under "External links" are not currently usable. The first Dalai Lama link appears to be broken, and the "Conscious Choice" piece does not appear to point to the article in question. Hopefully you will fix these soon.

As a reader, I would find it helpful if the articles by Korten were moved up from the External links section to the Bibliography; there could then be two sub-headings under Bibliography, "Books" and "Selected articles." I have seen this done in several Featured Articles – e.g., the Bernard Williams FA divides its Publications section into "Books" and "Selected papers." Your External links section could then be left for the official website, interviews of Korten, and more articles about his work. Best, - Babel41 (talk) 05:50, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Smallwood Report

The Smallwood Report, officially entitled The Role of Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the NHS: An Investigation into the Potential Contribution of Mainstream Alternative Therapies to Healthcare in the UK, was a 2005 report promoting the use of so-called "alternative medicine" in Britain's taxpayer funded National Health Service, as a cost-effective and efficacious alternative to evidence-based medicine. The report was written by economist Christopher Smallwood, commissioned by Charles, Prince of Wales, and funded by disgraced Tory politician Dame Shirley Porter. The report recommended that a number of treatments be made available on the NHS, including acupuncture, homoeopathy, manipulation therapies and herbal remedies. Graeme Catto wrote the introduction. Smallwood is an economist with no background in healthcare.

Criticism
The report was criticized by alternative medicine academic researcher Edzard Ernst, who wrote that it was inaccurate, misleading and that "its conclusions were written before the authors had searched for evidence that might match them". The editor of The Lancet Richard Horton wrote that the report contained "dangerous nonsense".

As a dire consequence of Ernst's response, Charles' secretary Sir Michael Peat filed a complaint to Exeter University to initiate an investigation file on Ernst for misconduct. Although Ernst was exonerated, his department was disbanded due to stoppage of funding and he was forced into early retirement. The role of Prince Charles' royal office has been scrutinized as a result of the interference.

Talk:Tanya Roberts

Birth year
You can find her birth registration with the state of New York through Ancestry.com; it says she was born October 15, 1949 in Manhattan. The 1949 birthdate is corroborated by public records on FamilySearch and FamilyTreeNow.

A state birth registration is concrete unless it were a different Victoria Blum who happens to have the same birthday. As for public records, they can be wrong if the person put a fake age down, but in this case the records support what the birth registration says.

But wait, there's a twist. Other public records associated with her most recent address (see FamilySearch and FamilyTreeNow) list her year of birth as 1959! It would seem she shaved six years off when she started her professional career – hence the commonly reported 1955 – then at some point shaved off an additional four.

The obits are saying 1955 because that's the year media outlets kept on file from her '80s publicity. If she hadn't been out of the news for so long, People magazine or whoever would have made the discovery a lot sooner.

Props to Tanya for keeping her age under wraps all this time. She looked younger and pulled it off. But now that she's dead, there's no reason to continue this contrivance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Suprosa (talk • contribs) 02:47, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Such PRIMARY sources that you've dug up can be used to support claims, but not make them. Sorry, but we follow what's verifiable. Kingsif (talk) 15:51, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

If media outlets said she was born in 1955, why do these ones cite a 1954 birth year? https://digital.bentley.umich.edu/djnews/djn.19<IP_ADDRESS>/77 https://people.com/archive/critics-call-her-sheena-shame-of-the-jungle-but-tanya-roberts-wont-take-it-lying-down-vol-22-no-11/| https://www2.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b9fbd2e56 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cobretti1 (talk • contribs) 16:47, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * She was clearly born in 1949. People who lie about their age are often inconsistent with the lie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Suprosa (talk • contribs) 20:04, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * What secondary source supports 1949? —C.Fred (talk) 21:33, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Agree that it should be changed to 1949. 1955 is blatantly false, as the official records prove, but also she was not ~24 when she was starring in Charlie's Angels but rather ~30. The guidelines on sources on Wiki are just that. Guidelines. Occasionally it's acceptable to bend these. Common sense should be abided by here. Thanks --Jkaharper (talk) 18:46, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I only have access to ancestry.com; however, there is very little information on it, and I don't see how one can deduce that this is the same person from it, as there are 3 mismatches compared to information given by The New York Times and by The Guardian: the birth year (1949 vs 1955), the exact place of birth (Manhattan vs Bronx), and the exact birth name (Victoria Blum vs Victoria Leigh Blum). Could someone who has more information from FamilySearch and FamilyTreeNow post it here? — Vincent Lefèvre (talk) 18:57, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * 1949 is confirmed by the 1950 census. See Special:Diff/1080527623. — Vincent Lefèvre (talk) 21:20, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Find a Grave also says 15 October 1949. — Vincent Lefèvre (talk) 21:52, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Is this necessary?
Is this passage necessary?

The 1950 U.S. Census shows that, as of April 1950, the Blum family lived in the hamlet of Hewlett in Hempstead, NY and that Oscar Blum was a sales executive for a pen manufacturer. In 1956, Tanya and her sister lived in Scarsdale, New York in a home built in 1950. Tanya's parents purchased the Scarsdale home new in March 1951 and sold it in January 1958 to buy a property in Greenburgh, New York that same month. Then he went to get a cup of coffee. Tanya's father sold the Greenburgh property on his own in July 1961.

Do we really need to know about the buying and selling of her childhood homes? And what's the meaning of the line about the coffee? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:29, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
