Irene Griffin (activist)

Irene W. Griffin (November 10, 1927 - March 27, 2012) was an African-American activist, and the first black woman to register to vote in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. She was married to Rev. Percy Murphy Griffin, also a civil rights activist in that community.

Activism
Irene was married to Percy Murphy Griffin, and their initial efforts focused on taking on segregationist Judge Leander Perez after Percy returned from serving in World War II. They started a voter registration campaign for black community residents. In 1954, Irene became the first registered African-American woman to vote in Plaquemines Parish. In 1963, their home was bombed due to their activism. In 1966 after her husband Rev. Percy Murphy Griffin and his comrades organized a movement to integrate the Plaquemines Parish School system, Irene was right there on the battle field with him. Their mission on the Eastbank of Plaquemines Parish was to integrate the previous all white school, called Woodlawn. Nevertheless, they met opposite and protest from the whites who children attended the school. Twenty-seven black students where scheduled to attend Woodlawn high school after it opened it doors for the beginning of the school year. Unfortunately, some blacks jump the gun and took several black students to the school on the first day of opening. They met strong opposition from the white. Griffin and the remaining of the black students went to the school as scheduled on the 2nd day. Eventually the school was closed down. The Superintendent told Griffin to meet him at Phoenix High School on the following day. After he met with Griffin and other parents at Phoenix High, the superintendent informed them that they could send their kids to Belle Chasse High School on the westbank or leave them at Phoenix high. The scare tactics that the Superintendent used in his presentation, caused the parents of twenty-four black students to keep their children at Phoenix High. Mrs. Irene Griffin, under the guiding of her husband, allowed two of her sons to travel to Belle Chasse High School to partake in the movement.

Death
Irene Griffin died aged 84 in 2012.

Relationship fundraising
Relationship fundraising is an approach to the raising of philanthropic income in which the emphasis is placed not on monetary transactions but on meeting the needs and expectations of the donor. It bears a close resemblance to relationship marketing, with its central focus on retention and satisfaction.

History
The term was first coined in 1992 by Ken Burnett, who defined it as "an approach to the marketing of a cause which centres not around raising money but on developing to its full potential the unique and special relationship that exists between a charity and its supporter." Ten years later, this same approach was described by Penelope Burk as "donor-centrism", and numerous practitioners and academics have developed these ideas in the time since.

Patrick Majewski

Patrick Majewski (born December 23, 1979) is a retired Polish American professional boxer who was the NABF Middleweight professional boxing champion. He was the highest world ranked Polish boxer based in the United States along with former Heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek during his career. Nicknamed 'The Machine', Majewski was a wrestler in high school who also excelled in Karate. Majewski went to college to become a teacher in Poland, but later moved Atlantic City, New Jersey in the United States.

Amateur career
After coming to the United States on a student visa exchange visa, Majewski took up amateur boxing. As an amateur, Majewski won the Pennsylvania Golden Gloves title at 165 pounds twice.

Professional career
Majewski began his pro career in 2006 late at age 26 with a 17 fight win streak, including a ten-round decision win over Marcus Upshaw to win the vacant WBO NABO middleweight title in 2011.

On July 7, 2012, Majewski won the vacant NABF middleweight title with a fifth round stoppage over Irish Chris Fitzpatrick at Bally's Atlantic City Hotel Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Training Background
Majewski's first trainer in Atlantic City was James 'Rocky' McRae. Currently, Majewski is trained by Atlantic City-based trainers Arnold Robbins and Bill Johnson, father the late world lightweight titleholder Leavander Johnson. Majewski is promoted by Global Boxing Promotions, which promotes professional boxing and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters, as well as amateur boxing.

Mallung

Mallung or mallum (මැල්ලුම්), is a shredded vegetable Sri Lankan dish that comprises lightly cooked/sautéed greens, with fresh coconut and any number of spices and chili. Mallung is a common condiment and is eaten at almost every meal. Meals are often served with one or two different mallungs, which play an important part in nutrition as this is how locals maintain a regular vitamin intake in their diet. The word 'mallung' or 'mallum' simply means 'wilted'.

The central ingredient of mallung is a leafy green vegetable, finely shredded and combined with a standard set of ingredients to enhance and support their flavour. Different plants are used to make mallung including cassia, passionfruit leaves, watercress, or water spinach leaves. In western countries leafy vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, chard, and kale are used as substitutes for traditional Sri Lankan greens. Additional ingredients include chopped green chillies, chopped shallots, chopped curry leaves, crushed garlic, a chopped clove of garlic together with half a cup of shredded coconut for every kilogram of moist leafy greens, seasoned with turmeric, salt and pepper, powdered Maldives fish, and lime juice.

A range of bitter, medicinal, and wild greens are commonly chosen for mallung in Sri Lanka, mostly using the leaves of native plants. One of the most popular mallungs is made with gotukola (Centella asiatica). Other popular varieties include kankun (Ipomoea aquatica), kathurumurunga (Sesbania grandiflora), and mukunuwenna (Alternanthera sessilis). Herbal leaves such as aguna (Wattakaka volubilis), Cheilocostus speciosus, and passionfruit leaves are also used in mallungs.

Component Name
Ship Designer

Description of Responsibilities
Provides ship configuration at beginning of mission or after repairs or inflight damage or modification. I.E. Take damage from opponents or flyover a hot spot with a bonus ... or a hot spot with change in cargo mass. Takes user or component input and provides updated configuration information to ship controller component.

Collaborators

 * Player Ship
 * Provide the current configuration and performance parameters

 * Component Set
 * A set of pre defined components and click and drag graphics

 * Component Editor?
 * The ability to create new components by importing graphics and assigning attributes and values to the component.
 * The ability to start with an existing component and modify graphics (export and import to pixel editor) or attribute values.

 * Pixel Editor

Spaceship components
This components can be integrated into and locked into ship designs using the editor. This list is probably not complete.
 * Life support systems (water could be stored outside in a frozen state, heated only when needed, recycle what we can)
 * Oxygen recycler
 * Propulsion mechanisms (Artificial Gravity Thruster)
 * Power/fuel generation (Artificial Gravity based - no fuel required)
 * Fuel/power storage

 * Heat radiator fuel (if it just dumps out freon, for instance)
 * Radiation shielding (Lead, or maybe depleted uranium)(A heavy water based jel)

Non existant technologies for possible use

 * Warp drives
 * Artificial gravity (Will be the next huge technological leap. A solid theory/design exists today)
 * Shields (Star Trek style)( A very large Neo magnetic core)
 * Quantum entanglement module (Instantaneous communication)

Non-essential technologies for possible use
Is there going to be a combat component? If so:
 * Aggressive gefense mechanisms (preferrably more realistic than not -> missiles, lasers vs. phasers)
 * Hull repair robots (Nanites, perhaps?)
 * Escape mechanism (relevant even if there aren't any pirates, in case of malfunctions and such)

For an extended combat component:
 * more weapons! Things like railguns and coilguns have interesting physics components...
 * Sensor jammers, chaff (radar jamming)
 * Hacking? Some kind of attack on another ship's computer?

Hamilton Police Service

The Hamilton Police Service (HPS) is the police service of the city of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. As of 2021, the service employed 829 sworn officers and 414 non-sworn staff, serving a population of about 570 000 residents. The service's headquarters are located at 155 King William St., Hamilton, Ontario. As of 2022, the service's budget is $183 542 539, roughly 18.5% of the City's overall budget. It is one of the oldest police forces in Ontario.

History
The Town of Hamilton was incorporated by Upper Canadian Parliament on February 13, 1833. On March 11 of that year, High Bailiff John Ryckman was appointed as Hamilton's first police officer.

In 1848, neighbouring Dundas raised its own municipal police force, followed two years later by Ancaster. The Township of Saltfleet and Town of Stoney Creek followed suit in 1940 and 1949, respectively.

On January 1, 1974, Wentworth County was reorganized to form the Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Municipality, and these police forces, along with the Ontario Provincial Police detachments covering the remainder of the county, were amalgamated to form the Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Police Force.

In 1986, the Hamilton Harbour Police, an unarmed special constabulary maintained by the Hamilton Harbour Commission, was folded into the Hamilton Wentworth Regional Police Force.

In 1999, Lincoln Alexander, Ontario's lieutenant governor from 1985 to 1991 and Canada's first Black Member of Parliament, was named honorary chief of police of the Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Police Force. When Alexander passed in 2012, his casket was carried by members of the Hamilton Police Honour Guard.

On January 1, 2001, the communities of Ancaster, Dundas, Flamborough, Glanbrook, Stoney Creek and Hamilton were amalgamated to form the new single-tier City of Hamilton. At the same time, the Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Police Force was renamed and reorganized to become the Hamilton Police Service.

In 2010, Hamilton Police Sgt. John Harris won the Blue Line Police Leadership Award, given annually to a particularly outstanding Canadian police officer.

Hamilton Police Service coat of arms
The Hamilton Police Service coat of arms and colours, standards and guidons were granted by the Canadian Heraldic Authority (created by Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II on the recommendation of His Excellency the Governor General of Canada) November 15, 2007. The coat of arms is a version of the national coat of arms for municipal police services. It may be granted to any municipal police service which is part of a municipal corporation that possesses a coat of arms by lawful grant from the Crown. All such badges share a frame of gold maple leaves rising up from a representation of the provincial flower from the province in which the service is sited, all ensigned by the Royal Crown - St. Edward’s Crown.

 * "On a hurt a maple leaf gules fimbriated or, all within a wreath of maple leaves or issuant from a trillium flower proper between two cinquefoils gules, the whole ensigned by the Royal Crown proper and in base a ribbon sable edged or inscribed Hamilton Police Service in letters argent;"

Symbolism
There are many symbolic meanings to various parts of the Hamilton Police Service coat of arms. The exterior frame of maple leaves, the trillium, and St. Edward’s Crown follow the traditional style of police coats of arms for a municipal police service in Canada. The police service has the responsibility of upholding the peace and the administration of justice under the Canadian Crown. The Royal Crown, at the top of the coat of arms, symbolizes the administration of Crown’s justice, while the laurel of maple leaves and trillium refer to Canada and Ontario respectively. The blue field represents the harbour of the City of Hamilton and the gold edges represent the city’s industry and wealth. The red maple leaf represents Canada. The two cinquefoils allude to the arms of the City of Hamilton in which such a cinquefoil also appears. The cinquefoil is taken from the arms of the Chief of Clan Hamilton, and it thus refers to the city's namesake. The coat of arms is included in the Public Register of Arms, Flags and Badges of Canada.

Flag

 * "Per bend sinister azure and gules a bend sinister or overall the badge;"

The symbolism of this emblem is found in other elements of this record

Consecration and trooping of the colours
It was on May 12, 2008, that a special event was planned to unveil the Hamilton Police Service Grant of Arms and the consecration and trooping the colour, the service’s first police colour. The grant of arms, more commonly known as a coat of arms incorporates symbolism reflecting the years of history and heritage of the Hamilton Police Service. A ‘colour’ is the ceremonial flag, with a specific registered design, awarded to the Hamilton Police Service by Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada. In Canada this is done through the Governor General of Canada and the Canadian Heraldic Authority. The design incorporates very specific symbolic features. To consecrate a flag is to ceremonially dedicate it to the service of the men and women, officers and civilians, of the Hamilton Police Service. The consecration making the flag a visible symbol of the years which have passed since the Service was created, and emblematic of the years to come. It is meant to serve as an inspiration for the future, and is a silent challenge to the future members to meet and exceed the achievements of those who have come before them. In a ceremony steeped in protocol and pageantry, the colour was consecrated by a drumhead service.

Logo
The logo, similar to the heraldic crest, was developed by a police committee when the Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Police became the Hamilton Police Service. It is the logo that appears on marked patrol vehicles, signage, letterhead, etc.
 * St. Edward's Crown
 * ribbon containing the words Hamilton
 * banner below with the words police
 * within the ribbon:
 * maple leaf: while representing Canada, the leaf has six facets, representing the six municipalities that formed the Hamilton-Wentworth Region (1974) and then later the amalgamated City of Hamilton (2001). Those municipalities in addition to Hamilton are Ancaster, Dundas, Flamborough, Glanbrook and Stoney Creek.
 * wreath of golden maple leaves
 * waves - representing the connection of the city to Lake Ontario and Hamilton Harbour

The blue oval at the top of the red maple leaf represents the Hamilton Harbour, the six veins of the red maple leaf represent the six former municipalities, the veins of the leaf extending into the blue oval illustrate inclusiveness of the community, the gold trim around the maple leaf represents the wealth of industry, natural resources, business and community partnerships, the two blue waves at the bottom of the leaf represent the vision to be the best and most progressive police service.

Police services board
Like all municipalities in Ontario, the City of Hamilton maintains a police services board, responsible for overseeing policing services in the City. The board approves the police budget, hires the chief and deputy chiefs of police directly, and is the legal employer of every Hamilton Police employee. Although the board sets overall service policy and direction, it has no operational control over the service or its officers, and day-to-day policing decisions are the exclusive jurisdiction of the police chief.

The board is composed of seven members: the mayor (or their designate); two city councillors; one member of the public appointed by city council; and three members of the public appointed by the province. As of 2024, it consisted of:

Special constabularies
In addition to maintaining the Hamilton Police Service, the Board is responsible for approving and overseeing special constabularies that operate in the City. Currently, there is only one special constabulary operating in the City of Hamilton that falls under the jurisdiction of the Board, the McMaster University Campus Security Service.

Historically, the Board was responsible for two other special constabularies in Hamilton: the Harbour Police and Parks Police. The Parks Police force was disbanded in 1963, in response to union-mandated wage hikes, while the Harbour Police force was amalgamated into the Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Police Force in 1986.

Rank structure

Criminal investigators for the Hamilton Police hold the ranks of Detective Constable and Detective Sergeant which are equivalent to Sergeant and Staff Sergeant, respectively.

Unlike other Ontario police services, all Hamilton Police officers wear shields on their chest. Members at the rank of Sergeant and above have their rank listed on the badge in a blue oval, and members at the rank of Inspector and above have gold shields.

Divisions
The Hamilton Police Service operates out of three police stations: Central, which covers the northwestern portion of the old City of Hamilton; East End, which covers the southeastern portion of the old City of Hamilton and the entirety of the old Town of Stoney Creek; and Mountain, which covers the remainder of the amalgamated City of Hamilton.

ACTION Team
The ACTION Team (Assessing Crime Trends In Our Neighbourhoods) was launched in 2010, in response to crime and safety concerns in downtown Hamilton. The Team was later expanded to include five teams of seven officers, and by 2016, had made 5 000 arrests and issued 23 000 tickets. As of 2023, the Team is deployed across the City of Hamilton in response to safety concerns or crime spikes, and conducts patrols on foot or by bicycle.

It has faced criticism for using a quota-based model for its policing strategy, and in 2015, five members of the team were charged criminally for making, counting, but never issuing bogus tickets to inflate their ticket statistics. The Team's use of random street checks (popularly referred to as "carding") attracted particular criticism from community advocates and City councillors, who cited statistics that showed that racialized Hamiltonians were disproportionately carded by the Team. The practice was banned by the provincial government in 2017.

Auxiliary police unit
The auxiliary police were established in the early 1960s as a response to societal changes. Civil unrest throughout the world had the police service question its ability to deal with large-scale chaos. The principal goal was to create an auxiliary force made up of volunteer, unpaid officers who could be called upon to assist the regular force if problems were ever to arise. The auxiliary police are required to go through various training seminars, as well as maintain a high degree of physical fitness. Although in uniform, they function under very strict guidelines and do not substitute for regular officers. Instead, they assist in the processes when constables required a large, organized support.

The auxiliary police work at parades or during long weekends, at rallies, or large events where police presence is required on a larger scale than usual. They are identified with a shoulder flash that says 'auxiliary'. They also wear a traditional light-blue shirt whereas sworn officers wear navy blue uniforms.

Canine
The first known record of dogs being used in policing the Hamilton community was in 1878, when an old stray dog the officers named "Bob" was taken in and routinely brought on night patrol to accompany an officer named Constable Ferris on his beat. Bob was not trained for special tasks, but often acted as a deterrent to those who had the potential to create trouble.

In 1960 the Hamilton Police Department acquired two dogs with the intent of training them for special circumstances. Hamilton Police had the second municipal canine unit in Canada. Their names were Sandy and King. The dogs were used for many functions which made the officers’ jobs safer and easier. Due to their keen senses, dogs were trained to track suspects or missing persons, search buildings, and to locate weapons and bombs. They were also trained to disarm criminals threatening the life of an officer. The dogs used as police dogs were for the most part German Shepherds. They are used because of their fierce loyalty, relatively even temperament, imposing physical presence and easy trainability.

The dogs train with a constable who is responsible for the dog both on and off the job. They live with officers' families which allows a constant relationship between the dogs and their handlers to develop. Much of the time, the dogs are in training to maintain the skills they have acquired. Today Hamilton Police deploy four police service dogs (PSD). Each dog is trained in human scent detection and tracking. PSDs are also used for drug detection, firearms and currency. Hamilton Police also deploy a PSD for explosives detection.

Hamilton has had one PSD killed in the line of duty - PSD Troy killed February 25, 1992 (shot by a suspect during an apprehension).

Crisis response
The Crisis Response Unit consists of three specialized units that respond to different niches of social disorder: the Crisis Support & Outreach Team; the Mobile Crisis Rapid Response Team; and the Social Navigation Program.

The Crisis Support & Outreach Team (COAST) is a partnership between the Hamilton Police Service, Halton Regional Police Service, and St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, and serves residents in need of long-term mental health supports. The Team is responsible for connecting clients to care options, helping clients complete mental health assessments in partnership with police, and providing urgent, over-the-phone crisis support to the client and their caregivers and family members.

Like COAST, the Mobile Crisis Rapid Response Team is a partnership between the Hamilton Police Service, Halton Regional Police Service, and St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, and is responsible for responding to urgent crisis calls made to 9-1-1 between the hours of 8 AM and 4 AM, seven days a week. The teams consist of a uniformed, specially-trained officer and a mental health professional responding together in a marked police cruiser. After the teams attend an incident, clients are connected to COAST for follow-up care.

The Social Navigation Program is a partnership between the Police Service and the Hamilton Paramedic Service, and is responsible for providing street support to marginalized and homeless Hamiltonians. The program connects clients with long-term care and services in partnership with a variety of social service providers in an effort to reduce the load on the judicial and hospital system. Unlike COAST, however, the program connects with clients at the point of police contact, as opposed to at the client's request.

Emergency response
During the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany, a terrorist attack was carried out against eleven Israeli Olympic team and delegation members who were killed along with a German police officer. The attack became known as the Munich Massacre. This attack prompted police agencies around the world to examine their capabilities in addressing such an attack of terrorism. As a result of international incidents of hostage takings like the one in Munich, plus other firearms related incidents in Canada and abroad, Chief Gordon Torrance had been planning to form a special unit to deal with high risk situations. The 1976 Summer Olympics were to be held in Montreal, Quebec. From June 23 to July 3, 1976, Hamilton was to be the host of the Pre-Olympics Basketball Tournament. Thirteen countries would be represented at that tournament, including Israel. The Munich Massacre was still fresh on the minds of those planning security for this event.

In September 1975, the chief issued a policy and procedure to deal with armed and barricaded persons. On Monday, November 3, 1975, Paul Lariviere of Champlain St., Hamilton, exchanged gunfire with Hamilton Police from his residence. An officer who had a revolver eventually killed him. Lariviere was found to have two rifles in his apartment. This incident was a catalyst for the Hamilton Police Service to form a specialized unit. On November 8, 1975, a decision was made by Chief Torrance to form a tactical unit that would begin training in January 1976. The unit was to be based on the concept of the New York City Police Department SWAT. The unit was known as "TEAM" which stood for ‘tactical emergency assault men’.

The mandate of the TEAM was to attain a peaceful ending to police calls involving hostage-taking, gun and other weapon-related incidents. Five TEAM officers were initially sent to the Anti-Sniper and Survival School at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. They also took on the responsibility of explosives disposal (EDU) and received this training through the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The fifteen-man unit became operational on June 13, 1976. When the first female officer became a member of the unit, the name was changed to the emergency response unit (ERU). ERU members are trained to handle a variety of weapons, deal with dangerous, high-risk situations, and are utilized when entering a premises for the execution of search warrants.

Marine
The Marine Unit was established in 1921 as the Hamilton Harbour Police, an unarmed special constabulary maintained by the Hamilton Harbour Commission. The Harbour Police were responsible for marine safety across the Hamilton Harbour and for security policing on Commission-owned properties, a responsibility it maintained until 1986, when the constabulary was disbanded, with the security division privatized and the harbour policing division amalgamated into the Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Police.

In 1996, the Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Police entered into an agreement with the neighbouring Halton Regional Police Service to share a marine unit. This agreement was terminated in 2008, and the Halton Regional Police moved its marine unit to the Bronte Harbour.

Today, the Unit is responsible for patrolling the Hamilton Harbour, the entirety of the City's waterfront, and all inland waterways. The Unit actively patrols from mid-April until mid-November. In the off-season, it responds to calls for service on an as-requested basis.

In 2011, the Unit, with assistance from the Halton Regional Police, rescued a group of high-school rowers caught in a freak storm. Five Hamilton Police officers received the Rescue of the Year award from the Canadian Safe Boating Council for their work.

Mounted patrol
The mounted patrol unit (MPU) was formed in September 2009 and consists of five horses and six officers. The priorities of the MPU are to heighten the service’s ability to accomplish:

 * crime prevention
 * manage entertainment districts
 * conduct search and rescue
 * provide park and trail safety
 * public safety during large scale festivals and events, protests and demonstrations

MPU offers coverage throughout the city of Hamilton with rotating day, afternoon and night shifts.

Fleet
Police cars, also known as police cruisers are the most common vehicle used by the Hamilton Police Service. The vehicles are numbered in regards to their division and car number. For example, 710-1 represents that the vehicle is from division 1 (central), and the preceding 710 is the vehicle designation number. Vehicles assigned to uniformed patrol begin with a 7 for a car and a 6 for a sport utility vehicle. Specialty units such as ERU and canine begin with a 9.

Weapons
In the 1990s, the majority of law enforcement agencies of Canada began wearing bulletproof vests and municipal police agencies started carrying semi-automatic handguns in the 9mm or .40 S&W calibre cartridge. The Hamilton Police carry Glock 22 handguns with hollow-point .40 S&W calibre ammunition.

These firearms replaced the aging .38 Special revolver. A police cruiser might carry a Remington Model 870 shotgun capable of firing a variety of shotgun shells. In 2018 patrol officers began carrying carbine rifles.

Other less-lethal weapons carried include conducted electroshock weapons, pepper spray, and expandable batons. In addition, the personal equipment of police officers typically includes: handcuffs, flashlights, portable radios, notebooks, and a pair of disposable gloves and Kevlar gloves.

The emergency response unit (ERU) members are issued Glock handguns with 9 mm calibre ammunition. They also use a variety of less-lethal weapons such as flexible baton rounds. Other weapons that have been used by ERU include:

 * Tikka T3 .308
 * Sako TRG .308 sniper rifle
 * 37 mm flare gas gun
 * Ruger Mini-14 RETIRED
 * Steyr AUG assault rifle RETIRED
 * MP5A3 9 mm submachine gun RETIRED
 * Remington 870 shotgun
 * Remington Model 770 rifle
 * Diemaco C8 carbine
 * Taser International M18 taser
 * Taser International X26 taser
 * Pepper spray (OC spray)
 * Tear gas (CS gas)
 * Rubber bullets or bean bags rounds
 * ARWEN 37 37 mm riot gun (and AR-1 plastic baton rounds, may also be available to the public order unit (POU) for crowd/riot control)

Talk:1979 (song)

Untitled
Does anyone have source for the statement in this article that the Frogs accused Billy Corgan of plagiarism? I've never heard of this. Considering the close relationship of these two bands, I am inclined to believe that if this actually happened, it was a joke. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Go to The Frogs Archive, and in the audio section, the fourth mp3 available is a live version of "Pleasure" with the comments about the stealing. Listen to the mp3 - it is a bit similar, but not so much that I'd call "1979" a rip-off. Folkor 22:45, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Additionally go to YouTube and watch the video of the band Sometimes Sweet Susan. The main hook from the song is un-mistakeable. It is known that Corigan saw this band perform the song back as early as 1993. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:37, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Didn't the music video have to be reshot?
I remember hearing that someone left a copy of the video on the top of their vehicle accidently and drove away.Buzda 04:33, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yup, that's what they say in the audio commentary of the video collection DVD. I also wondered why this isn't covered here.<IP_ADDRESS> 01:28, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I was wondering the same thing, so I added a small paragraph about it. Hopefully the source isn't too bad. Cale 02:30, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Recently on a rerun of "Cold Case" the song "1979" was used to set the tone for the era in which the story began. I just thought you might like to know that. -- Mr.Jack Fardtz —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:27, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

How old is this song?
The history section states that this song was the last to be written for the recording sessions. The nearest reference after that is not very strong. If you go to www.archive.org and listen to the 1/8/1997 show in Vancouver, Corgan tells the audience at the end of 33 that the next song was written when he was 12. Then they play 1979.

Is this story a falsification by the writer or might we revisit this statement that it was the last song to be written for MCIS? Perhaps billy pulled it out of a drawer and tweaked it to get Flood to put it on the album, but the notion that in some form or way it was older than any other song he was known to have written is quite interesting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ArcticEE (talk • contribs) 02:09, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Er he might have meant he he started writing it or something? Like had a couple of chords for it but he finished it for MCIS. Or... I dunno Billy Corgan seems to contradict himself a lot when he talks about the meanings or origins of his music. Like I saw a recent live version where he talked about he had a random memory of sitting in his car at night, at a traffic light... and that was what the song was about, that memory. But then he also says that it was written about the transition into adulthood or something. He's a confusing guy lol. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:19, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It's a joke. The joke is that he was 12 in the year 1979. WesleyDodds (talk) 02:44, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Sample
So the little sample that plays throughout the song....is it saying something? I have heard it many times and it sounds like "tunamacan." Any clarification from Billy or anyone else on what that/those word/words are supposed to be? WesUGAdawg (talk) 22:30, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

He's saying 'Yeah' <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 11:32, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Tamara Jacquin

Tamara Jacquin (Viña del Mar, Chile, 1986) is a Chilean sculptor and performance artist based in Madrid.

Biography
She studied architecture in Chile and France. Her work has been exhibited mainly in Spain although it has also been seen in other places.

Her works are based on a personal experience, on the sensations that her body perceives, among them the weight, the load that the body bears and that metaphorically are all the burdens that women have, and the demands of society.

Her artwork delves into the way women build their bodies and their identities, which is reflected in wooden objects that are heavy and hinder women's movements.

She has received several awards such as the Sculpture Network Award from the Sculpture Network Association, based in Munich. The association aims to promote sculpture in Europe and to establish connections between artists, mediators, organizers, suppliers and collectors.

Early Life

 * Mary Ann Lee was born in 1826, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Charles Lee and Wilhelmina Lee.: Both of her parents were performers and in the theatrical business.  Her mother in particular had a dance background.  That is how her interest and passion for dance began.

Mary Ann Lee began displaying her theatrical talents in theater. She took on the roles of being Francie in the play Guy Mannering, and Eustache in the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

 * October 25, 1844, after getting the proper paperwork for their passports and Mary Ann Lee and her mother journeyed to Paris, France to continue her dance education.: While in Paris, she trained with instructor Jean Coralli.  She learned she was graceful and agile, but that she lacked precision, and freedom of execution.  She continued to learn, and her goal was to perfect her dancing technique.  While in Paris, she learned a lot about technique, but she also learned about romantic music, and a lot about herself as a person.  In September of 1845, Mary Ann Lee, returned home, with hopes of showing America, her newly learned skills.  Mary Ann Lee, was the very first to bring romantic ballet techniques from Europe to America.  Her first performance after coming back was on November 24th, 1845.

Gregory Dowling

Gregory Dowling is an author, translator, literary critic and Professor of Anglo-American Literature at the Università Ca’ Foscari in Venice.

Early life
Gregory Dowling was born and raised in Bristol, England. He read English Literature at Christ Church, Oxford, graduating with a 1st Class Honours in 1978. In 1979 he travelled to Italy to teach English; he first arrived in Naples, where he lived in a small pensione for three months. He then moved to Siena, and in 1979 to Verona and found an English teaching job at the Oxford School, where he met his future wife Patrizia who was studying English at the time. While living in Verona, he visited Venice very often until he decided to move there, and began teaching English at the Oxford School-based there.

Academic career
In 1983 he began as Lettore (equivalent to Reader) in English Language at the Istituto Universitario di Lingue Moderne of Feltre before becoming lettore at the Università Ca’ Foscari of Venice in 1985. He kept this job until 1999 when he was appointed Ricercatore (equivalent to Assistant Professor) of Anglo-American Language and Literature at the Università Ca’ Foscari, and became Associate Professor in 2006. Throughout his academic career Dowling's main areas of interest have been Second World War poetry, Contemporary American Poetry, English Novelists of the 19th century, the Romantic Poets, English and American writers and Italy, and Venice in the 18th century. He has published several works of criticism, anthologies, and translations, as well as many articles, essays and reviews on such subjects. Specifically, his book-length publications include David Mason: A Critical Introduction (a monography on the author of the verse-novel Ludlow); In Venice and in the Veneto with Lord Byron (a guidebook which traces Byron's three-year experience in Venice); Someone’s Road Home: Questions of Home and Exile in American Narrative Poetry, which focuses on the works of H.W. Longfellow, Herman Melville, Wallace Stevens, Robert Frost, Anthony Hecht and Vikram Seth; and A Study of the English Verb. He has also co-edited a number of poetry anthologies, including ''Gondola signore gondola. Venice in 20th Century American Poetry, which explores American poetry on Venice, co-edited with Rosella Mamoli Zorzi, and Giovane Poesia Inglese'', an anthology of contemporary British poetry, with Alessandro Scarsella.

Novels
Dowling is the author of six novels, often described as a blend of the thriller and detective genres. His first four novels came out between the mid 1980s and early 1990s: Double Take, an international intrigue type thriller; See Naples and Kill, which draws on Dowling's experience living in Naples; Every Picture Tells a Story, a crime story set in Venice; and A Nice Steady Job, set in and around Verona, which came out in 1994. He then took a break from writing fiction to focus on his academic career, and returned in 2015 with the novel Ascension, a historical thriller set in 18th-century Venice, the first in the Alvise Marangon Mysteries series, centred on the protagonist Alvise Marangon, a half-Venetian, half-English tour guide who turns spy to help the Venetian intelligence services thwart imminent threats to the city; Ascension was named “Historical Novel of the Month" in The Times, which described it as blending “a laconic, amused style informed by American detective literature with a profound knowledge of Venetian geography and history. Stylish, clever and gripping.” The Four Horsemen, the sequel in the series, came out in the summer of 2017. Dowling is currently writing a third, although no publication date has been set yet.

Translations and editing
Dowling has translated various books from Italian into English, most notably the novel Veritas by Italian novelists Monaldi & Sorti, Enigma by the Sea (Enigma in luogo di mare) and The D Case (La verità sul caso D) by Carlo Fruttero and Franco Lucentini, and Francesco Da Mosto's travel books Francesco’s Italy and Francesco’s Venice.

Teletraffic engineering/Blocking/Answer1

We have first to find the busy-hour traffic. BHT = 167 Erlangs using Little's Rule.

According to Little's Rule: For the hour, the traffic in Erlangs = $$\frac{Number of calls * Mean Holding Time (seconds)}{3600}$$

Using the Erlang-B formula is cumbersome in this example because there are many circuits. An Erlang-B calculator is used instead. The Blocking Probability is found to be 0.021 (2.1%)

Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Modeling a Simple Person

In this module, you will model a simple human figure. Along the way, you will practice using extrusion and learn additional ways to select vertices, edges, and faces.

Start a New Scene

 * 1) Start with the default cube (File → Load Factory Settings) and NumLock "on".
 * 2) Press  to edit the cube.
 * 3) Scale the cube down 50% by pressing.

Selection Methods
Just as you did for the house model, you will begin by selecting the top four vertices of the cube. This section presents six methods for doing so.

Ease of selection depends partly on the viewport settings and viewpoint. For greatest ease, you want a view in which the parts you are trying to select are both visible and close together.

For clarity, use a view of the cube in which all vertices are visible:
 * Go to right side view with.
 * Disable the manipulator widget with.
 * Make sure the Limit selection to visible option is "off".

The picture on the right shows the cube with the correct vertices selected.

To begin, make sure you start in Vertex select mode.

Border Select Tool
The selects things that lie in a rectangular region of the viewport.

 * 1) Activate (place the mouse pointer in) a 3D View window.
 * 2) Deselect all vertices by pressing.
 * 3) Press  to activate the border select tool.  Two dashed gray lines should appear, one vertical and one horizontal, forming a crosshair in the viewpoint.
 * 4) Click and drag  diagonally across the area you want to select.  The area will be outlined in dashed gray lines.
 * 5) When you release the mouse button, the vertices inside the rectangle will be added to the selection.

Practice selecting the top four vertices this way. If you make a mistake, press and try again.

Circle Select Tool
The selects or deselects things that lie in a circular region of the viewport.

 * 1) Activate a 3D View window.
 * 2) Deselect all vertices by pressing.
 * 3) Press  to activate the circle select tool. A dashed gray circle should appear. note: Prior to Blender 2.5  twice.

When this tool is active, you can do various things:
 * To move the select area, simply move the mouse pointer.
 * To resize the select area, use or /..
 * To select all vertices within the circle, click.
 * To deselect all vertices within the circle, click or  +.
 * To deactivate the tool, press or.

Practice selecting the top four vertices this way. If you make a mistake, press and try again.

Lasso Select Tool
Like many graphics programs, Blender 3D has a.

 * 1) Activate a 3D View window.
 * 2) Deselect all vertices by pressing.
 * 3) Click and hold.
 * 4) Drag the mouse pointer in a loop around the vertices you want to select.  As you drag, a dashed gray line will appear.
 * 5) You can deselect with lasso by pressing ++.
 * 6) Release the  when you're done.

Vertex by Vertex Selection
You can select (or deselect) vertices one by one, as you did in.
 * 1) Click  on a vertex to make it the only selected vertex.
 * 2) Toggle the select state of additional vertices by clicking.

Edge Select Mode
You can select (or deselect) edges one by one, as you did in.
 * 1) Click  on the Edge select mode button in the 3D View header.
 * 2) Select the top left edge of the cube by clicking on it with.
 * 3) Toggle the select state of top right edge of the cube by clicking on it with.
 * 4) Switch back to Vertex select mode by clicking  on the Vertex select mode button in the 3D View header.

After you switch back to Vertex select mode, all four vertices in the two selected edges are selected.

Face Select Mode
You can select (or deselect) faces one by one, as you did in.
 * 1) Click  on the Face select mode button in the 3D View header.
 * 2) Select the top face of the cube by clicking on its center dot with.
 * 3) Switch back to Vertex select mode by clicking  on the Vertex select mode button in the 3D View header.

After you switch back to Vertex select mode, all four vertices in selected face are selected.

Extruding Limbs
The illustrations in this section are in front orthographic view, so:
 * Use (or View → Orthographic) to switch to orthographic view.
 * Use (or View → Front) to switch to front view.

Region Extrusion

 * 1) Make sure you're still in Edit Mode, with the top four vertices selected. (Only two will be visible in front ortho view.)
 * 2) Activate the extrude tool by using (or Mesh → Extrude Region).
 * 3) Move the mouse pointer upwards. As you do, four new vertices will appear, each connected to one of the four that were previously selected.

The new vertices and their associated edges will move with the mouse pointer. You can lock them into place with or ).

Extruding a Leg

Suppose you want to extrude a region the same size as the default cube -- in other words, one Blender unit on a side.

 * 1) Undo your previous extrude by pressing.
 * 2) Activate the extrude tool again by using  (or Mesh → Extrude Region).
 * 3) This time, as you're moving the extruded vertices around, hold down the  key.  You'll see that the new vertices will only move in multiples of a Blender unit.  This is called, and it makes it easy to extrude by exactly one blender unit. The size of the snapping depends on the zoom level; if you are zoomed out a long way from the object the snapping will be done in large increments and if you are zoomed in close you can snap in finer amounts.

Continue extruding until you have five cubes of equal size stacked atop one another. This will be one leg of your figure.

Extruding the Pelvis

 * 1) Press until all vertices are deselected.
 * 2) Rotate the view (by dragging ) so you can see all four vertices on the right face of the top cube.
 * 3) Select those four vertices.
 * 4) Extrude twice to the right.

Extruding the Rest of the Body
The same trick is repeated over and over to build the rest of our simple body.

 * 1) Create a second leg by extruding down four times from the last cube of the pelvis.
 * 2) Create the torso by extruding up five times from the middle cube of the pelvis.
 * 3) Extrude to each side from the next-to-top cube of the torso to create arms. (Making sure there are five on each side. Refer to the picture on the top of the page)

To be safe, remove any double vertices you may have inadvertently created:
 * 1) In Vertex select mode, press  until all vertices are selected.
 * 2) Make sure that you are in Edit Mode, Press  to bring up the Vertex Context Menu.
 * 3) Scroll over Merge Vertices, and then select By Distance.

Now check your work:
 * 1) Return to Object Mode by pressing.
 * 2) Make sure the viewport draw type is Solid. (Press  if it isn't.)
 * 3) Rotate the viewpoint and examine the body from every side (it might be useful to return to perspective view for this).

This is easily fixed. To create a face:
 * 1) Press  to go back into Edit Mode.
 * 2) Select four vertices.
 * 3) Press  (or choose Mesh → Faces → Make Edge/Face from the 3D View header).
 * Note that you can also make edges with this tool if you select two vertices.

Adding the Head

 * 1) Move the 3D cursor to a point above the neck by clicking with the.
 * 2) Adjust the cursor position in orthographic top, front and side views (,, and  respectively) until the 3D cursor is about where the center of the head should be. It may help to use  → Snap → Cursor to Grid.
 * 3) Make sure you're in Edit Mode with a 3D View window active. (If you create the head in Object Mode, it will be a separate object from the body, and changes to the body later in this tutorial won't affect the head.)
 * 4) Create a sphere using  → Mesh → Icosphere.
 * 5) Leave the default settings for subdivisions and size in the bottom left of the screen. (Note: Your computer may slow down if you set subdivisions above 6)

You should now have a small sphere at the top of the body. To make it more proportional to the body, resize it using the scale tool:
 * 1) Make sure you're still in Edit Mode, with a 3D View window active and the head selected.
 * 2) If necessary change the pivot point to Median Point.
 * 3) Activate the scale tool by pressing  (or Mesh → Transform → Scale).
 * 4) Move the mouse pointer until the head is the size you want.

You may also adjust its position using the grab tool:
 * 1) Make sure you're still in Edit Mode, with a 3D View window active and the head selected.
 * 2) Activate the grab tool by pressing  (or Mesh → Transform → Grab/Move).
 * 3) Move the mouse pointer until the center of the head is where you want it.

Now check your work:
 * 1) Return to Object Mode by pressing.
 * 2) Make sure the viewport draw type is Solid. (Press  if it isn't.)
 * 3) Rotate the viewpoint and examine the body from every side.  Make sure that the head connects properly to the neck.

Save Your Work
You will continue working on your simple person model in the next module.

To save the scene in a  file:
 * 1) Press  +  (or select File → Save).
 * 2) Navigate to the directory (folder) where you want to write the file.
 * 3) Type a filename in the text box to the left of the "Cancel" button.
 * 4) Click  on the "Save Blender File" button.

Andy Hill (American music producer)

Andy Hill (born 1951) is an American music supervisor, record producer, and music educator. Under the name A.W. Hill, Hill has written three novels, Nowhere-Land, The Last Days of Madame Rey, and Enoch's Portal, and a screenplay based on the life of Nikola Tesla.

Biography
Andy Hill was born in Chicago, Illinois, United States, and educated at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. From 1987 to 1996, during the period now referred to as the Disney Renaissance, he served as vice-president of music production for The Walt Disney Studios (division), overseeing music production on a roster of films which included The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and Sister Act, and working closely with composers and songwriters such as Alan Menken and Hans Zimmer. Films for which Hill supervised music under the aegis of the Disney music department and its music chief, Chris Montan, earned nine Academy Awards in the categories of Best Original Score and Best Original Song for a Motion Picture. Subsequent to his term at Disney, Hill opened Andy Hill Film + Music under the auspices of Modern Music and supervised projects which included Message In A Bottle, Ed Wood, James and the Giant Peach and Happy Feet, winning a Grammy Award in 2000 as producer of the Best Musical Album for Children for Elmo In Grouchland.

From 2006 to 2011, Hill directed the graduate program in Music Composition for the Screen at Columbia College Chicago. His students have earned music credits on films such as Life of Pi, How To Train Your Dragon, and Perfume: The Story of a Murderer and found work with such notable composers as John Powell, Mychael Danna, Jeff Danna, Johnny Klimek, and Javier Navarrete. In the fall of 2011, Hill was engaged to prepare and oversee the launch of graduate composition programs at Berklee Valencia, the international extension of the Berklee College of Music, including film scoring and electronic music production, with classes commencing in September 2012. The campus is located in the Palau de les Arts, part of the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciencies designed by visionary architect Santiago Calatrava in Valencia, Spain. Following matriculation of the first class of Berklee degree candidates and a pilot semester, he spent an additional six months in Spain and Morocco working on a portfolio of songs with an enigmatic producer known only as The Old Guitarist. In September 2013, Hill relocated to Belgium to take a post as executive soundtrack producer and director of international business development for Galaxy Studios and the Scoring Flanders initiative, with the goal of bringing more high-level film scoring to the Flanders region and the musical stewardship of the Brussels Philharmonic. Concurrently, he launched Cinemuse VOF as a company under Belgian law, for music supervision and scoring services within the EU. In late 2015, Cinemuse, and Hill, relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, where his principal activities were teaching, lecturing, and mentoring aspiring film composers through his Cinemuse Composer Coaching service. In 2019, he relocated to Sofia, Bulgaria, where he currently serves as dean of the Film Scoring Academy of Europe, a constituent college of the Irish American University in Dublin, and as director of its M.F.A. program in Music for Motion Pictures & Contemporary Media.

Hill was from 2015 to 2018 a visiting lecturer and industry advisor to the Masters Program in Scoring for Film and Visual Media at Pulse College Dublin, a division of Windmill Lane Studios, and a member of the advisory board for Pingtrax (Musimap), a Belgian music search engine utilized by scholars, archivists, media producers and music supervisors. His comprehensive study of landmark film scores, Scoring the Screen: The Secret Language of Film Music, was published in August 2017 by the Hal Leonard Corporation. About the book, Conrad Pope, celebrated orchestrator for John Williams, Alexandre Desplat, and Howard Shore, among others said, "If you have any interest in what music means in film, you must read this book." The book has been selected as a core text by Leeds College and other institutions. In 2020, Hill received his PhD in Film Musicology from the University of South Wales. His dissertation was entitled BARDS OF THE SILVER SCREEN: Music and Meaning In Cinema.

A.W. Hill
Hill is also an American writer of speculative fiction and mystery. He grew up in the Midwest but began writing under the influence of Southern California and has been linked by novelist/ essayist Alan Rifkin to the tradition of "California fabulist literature." Hill has published three literary thrillers featuring Los Angeles cult investigator Stephan Raszer (Stee-vun Ray-zer), a tracker of missing persons and an expert in emerging religions in the present age of neo-millennialism and conspiracy theory. Raszer's preoccupation, as well as his author's, is in "what draws otherwise rational people to believe in unbelievable things...and act upon them." With his son, Nathanael, he authored a YA novel of speculative science-fiction entitled The Switch, published in 2017 by Curiosity Quills Press. His latest novel is Ministry, described by its author as a "post-apocalyptic romance," and will be published in 2022 by TouchPoint Press.

In 2003, Hill met Dorris Halsey, then 77, who had been literary agent for, among others, Aldous Huxley, Henry Miller, Upton Sinclair, and Ben Hecht. In Halsey and her younger partner and protégé, Kimberley Cameron, Hill found champions for both his fiction and his screenwriting work. Halsey introduced the writer to those in her circle, including Dr. Mani Lal Bhaumik, with whom Hill developed the memoir Code Name God and for whom he edited a primer on cosmology, The Cosmic Detective, and Laura Huxley, with whom he briefly collaborated on a film adaptation of her late husband's novel, The Island. Halsey died in 2006, and Cameron now helms the Reece Halsey Agency. He has also written feature articles for the L.A. Weekly and short fiction for Susie Bright's Best American Erotica 2004 and the Absinthe Literary Review, which awarded him its Eros & Thanatos prize for The Grotto. Hill is represented for motion picture projects by Steve Fisher at APA.

The Stephan Raszer Investigations
Written in a neo-noir style that pays homage equally to Raymond Chandler and William Gibson, the Raszer Investigations are described by their author as "boundary explorations" that track the sometimes precarious path between faith and fraud, and between genuine mystical experience and madness. Using the detective genre as a foil for his metafiction, Hill employs his protagonist, Stephan Raszer, to probe a demimonde that oscillates between journalistic truth and high fantasy. Chandler scholar Judith Freeman, author of The Long Embrace: Raymond Chandler and the Women He Loved, described Raszer in the L.A. Weekly as "the thinking person's private eye" and Nowhere-Land, the third in the series, as "maybe the first truly 21st-century mystery I've read." Scottish crime author and Edgar Award winner Ian Rankin (Inspector Rebus) described Hill's first novel this way: "Dollops of humor and horror and erotica, a good solid conspiracy, and a hero who is a James Bond for the spiritually uncertain 21st century. Written like a thriller-ish Thomas Pynchon or a literary Robert Ludlum."

Hill's first novel, Enoch's Portal, was loosely based on the exploits of the infamous Order of the Solar Temple, a Franco-Swiss "suicide cult" and spiritual Ponzi scheme that claimed the legacy of the Knights Templar and fifty-three lives. Initially published in hardcover in 2001, Portal anticipated the phenomenon of The Da Vinci Code by finding grist for modern myth in the legend of The Priory of Sion. But where Dan Brown makes his revelations explicit, Hill's hero Raszer walks the mean streets of Los Angeles and Old Prague in a dense fog of deliberate, riddling, and for some critics, maddening obscurity. The book was read in manuscript by Caldecott Chubb at Alphaville, then optioned by Paramount Pictures and assigned to cult director Alex Proyas, who developed two scripts before abandoning it to make "I,Robot." Following a dispute with "Portal's" publisher over problems that had arisen from the Paramount deal, Hill was successful in reclaiming his ownership of the copyright.

Five years later, Hill followed with the second installment of the Stephan Raszer series, The Last Days Of Madame Rey, a tarot reading in the form of a mystery novel, or a mystery novel in the form of a tarot reading, with acknowledged literary debts to writers from Jules Verne to H. Rider Haggard to Jorge Borges to Wilhelm Reich. The third installment in the series arrived in June 2009 with Nowhere-Land, a Sufi legend mapped out as a role-playing game on the borderlands of Iraq, Syria, and Turkey in the imagined reality of a metastasizing Mideast war involving an ISIS-like Islamist sect that traces its origins to Hassan-i Sabbah's Cult of the Assassins. Nowhere-Land's panoramic and eerily prophetic cast of characters also involves members of the Yezidi sect and Kurdish peshmerga fighters, as well as the chimerical CIA agent Philby Greenstreet, who provides critical assistance to Raszer's mission.

Its proposal was developed under the guidelines of the IEEE Standards Association and submitted to the IEEE 802.11 Task Group S (TGs). It fully covers the requirements of all application scenario, defined by TGs and builds on three different mode of operations. While the periodic mode is used in conjunction with the 802.11 Contention Free Period, the dynamic mode allows for a scheduling based on Transmission Opportunities, known from IEEE 802.11e. The Shared Coordination Channel mode is used in highly dynamic applications, where ad-hoc capability is a very important issue. Unlike IETF MANET, MIT's Rooftop or other standard 802.11 Mesh networks, IEEE 802.11s aims at packet forwarding/routing integrated into the MAC layer. It greatly enhances the routing efficiency, therefore. Hence, the WiMA approach knows different routing protocols, which are support by constant link quality measurements to improve the reliability and to performance. In July 2005, WiMA presented its proposal during the IEEE 802.11 plenary meeting in San Francisco. It is expected that future merger will invite new partners and bring the standardization process quickly to a first draft amenendment.

I've just noticed that this article didn't contain any sources, so I'll have to fish some out before merging. Stephen B Streater 09:15, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

That's more a commercial for a consortium than an encyclopedia entry...Guenael 17:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Task Group TG
What is this? What is a TG? Needs clarification i think.

"Task Group" probably needs its own article.Guenael 17:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Term 'STA' is undefined
Please define the term STA in the sentence: ... to the mesh network to STAs, which have broad market availability ...

Although standards folks hate the word "client" and use "Station" instead, I can see how that would annoy normal human beings! Guenael 11:16, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

External link
Perhaps http://www.open80211s.org/ would be appropriate to add. --Emesee (talk) 06:06, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

There was one before, but somebody removed it, claiming "Wikipedia is not Google". Since open80211s is an open source project, I see no reason not to mention it. --Guenael (talk) 01:50, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Added it back in on a whim when moving external links below see also. If the consensus becomes that it is too Googlish, please feel free to remove it again. --Emesee (talk) 22:50, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Wi-Fi Direct
Is there a relationship between 802.11s and "Wi-Fi Direct"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:32, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope, though that was also my thought when I first saw the press release. See http://www.wi-fi.org/files/20091015_Wi-Fi_Direct_FAQ.pdf  From what I gather, it is basically ad-hoc mode with a rudimentary discovery process added on.  Seems to be a software based alternative for having to add Bluetooth v3 (which touts using bluetooth to discover devices and switch to Wi-Fi to quickly transfer large media files). -- KelleyCook (talk) 15:34, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Wi-Fi Direct specifies a software AP. That's all. Stations connect with that AP as they would to with any other AP. If the Wi-Fi Direct Master has connectivity to any other network ("the Internet") it may share this connectivity via L3 mechanisms. So, routing is needed and different IP address ranges are needed. With 802.11s, however, everything seamlessly works within L2. There is no external function needed and the mesh appears like a single LAN. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:06, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Applications
Are there any notes on market adoption / actual applications of the technology?

Can this be used in tandem with 802.11a/b/g/n? Will a separate radio be required? What are the frequencies? Does this allow direct access to the internet? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:03, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Add mention of EAP-psk
The "Simultaneous Authentication of Equals" authentication method in 802.11s is based on Dragonfly, according to an Aruba blog posting by one of the contributors to 802.11s (http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Technology-Blog/Secure-authentication-with-only-a-password/ba-p/36524). That article also mentions another Dragonfly derivative, RFC 5931 "EAP-psk". Please add mention of this RFC in the page and to the references.

Ama Naidoo

Manonmoney Ama Naidoo OLS (née Pillay; 30 November 1908 – 25 December 1993) or Ama Naidoo was a South African anti-apartheid activist.

Family and early life
Naidoo was of South African Indian descent and was born in Asiatic Bazaar Pretoria. She had her primary school education in the Pretoria primary school. She was the only daughter and had 8 brothers. Her parents had a family business.

She had to care for the family and home and hence she did not pursue an independent career. In 1934 at the age of 26 she married Naransamy Roy Naidoo. He was the son of one of Mahatma Gandhi’s closest friends and a dedicated Satyagrahi, Thambi Naidoo. He sent his children to live and learn under the tutelage of Gandhi at the Tolstoy Farm in Johannesburg.

Roy Naidoo was among the children who went to Tolstoy Farm where he received training in simple living and self-sufficiency. In 1914 after Gandhi finally left South Africa, Roy Naidoo together with the Phoenix boys went to Rabindranath Tagore's Ashram, Shantiniketan where they lived for two years and received some training in arts and crafts as well as Indian culture and language. The party then moved to Sabarmati Ashram.

Political activism
Naidoo's husband Roy returned home to South Africa in 1928. He began work with the trade union movement and joined the Communist Party of South Africa CPSA. Naidoo worked closely with him. She joined him in the 1946 Passive Resistance campaigns and courted imprisonment which she served bravely.

In 1952 she again joined the defiance campaign and was again imprisoned. In 1954 she joined the Federation of South African Women (FEDSAW) and was elected on to its executive committee. She attended the Kliptown People’s Congress and participated in the adoption of the Freedom Charter. In 1956 she marched to the Union buildings with 20,000 women against the pass laws. She participated in almost all the campaigns and marches held in Johannesburg. There were candlelight processions, night vigils, and in 1963 she marched to the Union Buildings in protest against the formation of the South African Indian Council created by the apartheid government. She was outspoken and ready to participate in political activity.

She watched all her children (Shanthie, Indres, Murthie, Ramnie and Prema) being imprisoned, detained, tortured and harassed by the apartheid security police but remained steadfast right to the end. The Naidoo home was always a hive of activity. Leaders such as Moses Kotane, Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu and many others were constant visitors. Mandela enjoyed her crab curries.

Death
On 25 December 1993 she died, just under two years prior to South Africa's first multiracial elections held under a universal franchise.

Naidoo was posthumously awarded an Order of Luthuli in Silver in 2006.
