How is the school where George W. Bush spoke on September 11?
I didn't find anything on Wikipedia about where George W. Bush was on September 11 (and I wonder if anyone thinks it should be here, and where). But earlier this week, a web site posted a link to a video of NBC News live coverage of the events of that day, and included Bush speaking from the school where he was scheduled to speak to students before he had to leave. I heard "Key" in the name of the school and don't really want to try to search through the video for the appearance, but if a Florida community's name has "Key" in it, I would say we need to wonder how they are after Hurricane Irma.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  19:33, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It was Emma_E._Booker_Elementary_School in Sarasota, Florida.  RudolfRed (talk) 19:39, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I must not have heard something correctly in the video. It seems this article should be linked from the September 11 article.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  20:23, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It's difficult to see how it can be linked from the main article without some rewriting, since it is (of necessity) a brief overview of the main events of the day. The school is already linked in Timeline for the day of the September 11 attacks. Alansplodge (talk) 20:43, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * That may be enough. I couldn't think where to go.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  20:52, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Sarasota apparently lucked out of the hurricane. Seems to include the school. A church lost its cross, though. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:39, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * That's good.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  20:52, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Per the schools article: "Bush entered the second-grade classroom of Sandra Kay Daniels where he introduced the class to Education Secretary Rod Paige..." emphasis mine. Maybe that is what you heard? uhhlive (talk) 16:14, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I went back to the video and after Bush finishes speaking, Katie Couric says at 38:15 Longboat Key. It is in the location where the school is.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  17:14, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

Cooker
I've used gas cooker, the cylinder seems to be a problem. I've used electric cooker, the cost of electric seems to be a problem. I need help with the best solution available please. Regards. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:21, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

 * "Cooker" seems to mean all kinds of things. Are you talking about a backyard grill ?  It sounds like you mean a propane cylinder for a propane grill.  A solar cooker might work for you, if you have lots of sunlight and time, but not much money.  But they can be dangerous, so keep pets and kids away, and wear sunglasses.  They work best with precooked foods that just need warming, or foods that don't require a very high temperature to cook, like eggs.  And, of course, you will need a backup plan for night and when it's not sunny.  StuRat (talk) 22:46, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

 * StuRat: I've thought of free energy solution, its is not possible or available currently where I am...
 * 1) What is the best cost effective, extremely low electric consumption portable 2 stove/cooker (one small and one big base) out their available. the one I currently possess (gifted by someone) takes bill over 5,000...
 * 2) Gas cylinders seem to leak quite often. What could be the alternative?
 * <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:03, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

 * You might consider a portable induction cooktop. I have one.  Here's a large (1500 W, 10.5 inch pan): , and a small (1300 W, 9 inch pan): .  The initial cost is high, but they are very efficient, heating only the pot, not the great outdoors, so the cost of electricity is not high, especially if the pot is covered.  They are also quite convenient, provided you have an electricity outlet and induction cookware (it won't work with some pots and pans). StuRat (talk) 00:00, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * This costs $15. You can't cook a moose on it, but you can make soup. Soup's not bad. InedibleHulk (talk) 23:48, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

 * There are a few solutions that spring to mind: the first is a halogen oven, the second is a pressure cooker, the third is a microwave oven, the fourth is a slow cooker. Between them you will be able to make anything you fancy eating with the minimum of power usage. --TammyMoet (talk) 14:35, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

What world and North American cities have the highest numbered streets?
Place, Road, Drive, Avenue and similar count even though it doesn't say "street" on the sign but not highway/rural-type designations like Interstate 995, US 1, State Route 500, County Road 409, E400, Motorway A344, D2006, Farm Road 666..

So if County Road 999 is Tenth Avenue in Townville it counts as 10 not 999. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 23:46, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

 * I suspect such a street would be in Utah, which has a unique street numbering system, based on distance from a city's Mormon Temple. See here for an explanation.  Using Google Maps, the highest numbered street I can find in the Salt Lake City metro area is West 15000 South Street in the suburb of Bluffdale, Utah.  -- Jayron 32 23:52, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

 * There are two styles of numbering in Utah. One uses consecutive numbers; the other uses what are really coordinates, equal to the building address on intersecting streets.  The second style simply uses numbers that are 100 times the other.  In some cities you see both styles used.  I think it's appropriate to see "W. 15000 S. St." as an alternative way of writing "W. 150th S. St."

 * When driving in Minnesota a few weeks ago, I was interested to come across the following sequence of streets: 860th, 870th, 880th, and finally 893rd Av. You can find the west end of 893rd at 44.87983°N, -95.48286°W.  But while these numbers read as if part of an urban street plan, they evidently are in a rural area and not in a city.  Presumably the idea was that if the area was ever developed as part of a city then the in-between numbers might be filled in. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:30, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * St. Petersburg, Russia has "Millionnaya Ulitsa", which could be translated as "Million Street". Not sure if you want to count that as a "numbered" street since it is not part of a series.  Dragons flight (talk) 05:03, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Texas has 4 digit state roads, the highest of which I think is FM 7550. Dragons flight (talk) 05:06, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * The OP specifically asked for street names as numbers, not route numbers, and in any case, Virginia has route numbers that extend into 5 digits. ; that's because the State of Virginia maintains all roads outside of incorporated cities, Arlington County, and Henrico county. Literally every public byway in most of the state is assigned a state route number (except in independent cities and the two counties mentioned).  In places like densely populated Fairfax County, Virginia essentially every side street and cul-de-sac has a route number, these go into 5 digits.  -- Jayron 32 11:22, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Hmmm, I misread the OP's statement. Not really clear to me why one would include some forms of systematic numbering but exclude others, but I guess that's his choice.  Dragons flight (talk) 11:37, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

I have always wondered about this in respect of Britain, so I Googled it. Several websites (of insufficent reliability for Wikipedia, and mostly blocked here at work) suggest that number 2679 Stratford Road in the Hockley Heath area of Birmingham is the highest numbered house over here. I expected it to be Birmingham, which has several long main roads leading into it which have the same name (and therefore continuous numbering) for a relatively long distance and which are lined with houses. The section of Stratford Road within Birmingham (part of the A34, from memory) (now part of the A3400, originally part of the A34) is particularly long and residential in character. That said, I didn't expect the numbering to go above 1000 or so! Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!)  12:46, 14 September 2017 (UTC) (oops, edit conflict!) I think we now need to clarify, as four different things have been suggested:
 * I think the OP is asking about the numbers of the roads, not the houses on them. There are some very high road numbers in the UK, because four digit numbers are used to mark A roads that are very minor but still the primary route to a location (or, like the A1079 road, used to be minor). According to List of roads zones in Great Britain, the highest numbered road in the UK is the B9177 near Inverness. Ireland goes even further, with some 5 digit road numbers. That page shows one local road with the number L95723-10. Smurrayinchester 13:01, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I think that's also not what the OP is looking for; that is he's looking for "numbers as street names" rather than route numbers. -- Jayron 32 16:29, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * House numbering (like 2769 Stratford Road)
 * Numbered highways etc. ("highway/rural-type designations" explicitly excluded by the OP)
 * Streets that happen to have a number as their name without being part of a numbered street system (like Dragon flights Millionnaya Ulitsa. Google Maps suggests four different places in Germany for "Millionenweg", and two for "Millionenstraße)
 * What I think the OP is actually asking is the highest in an urban system of numbered streets like they have them in Manhattan etc. The highest example of this kind I found by skimming through that article is 304th street in Tehran. ---Sluzzelin talk  13:07, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * This is a "solvable" problem. Numbered streets tend to run mostly parallel to one another. It gets very confusing if they cross each other a lot. Therefore, cities with numbered streets tend to be set up on a grid. Therefore, you can eliminate cities that don't have any sort of grid structure. In the United States, obvious grid cities are New York, Pheonix, and Portland. I happen to know that Pheonix didn't really use numbered streets much. They went crazy awarding street names as they keep expanding the city. New York's grid is confined in Manhattan. Portland can keep extending the grid westward. Unfortunately, I've never been there. So, looking at a map, I see SE 362nd Ave SE 377th Ave (I just found a higher numbered one) as the highest numbered street. There could be another one with a higher number in Portland. Are there larger grided cities to look at? Most extremely large cities are very old and, therefore, not built on a grid. So, my gut feeling is that the largest grid cities will be in the Americas, but possibly also in Africa. Europe and Asia cities are simply too old in general. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:33, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * As to New York, the true grid pattern of streets is confined to Manhattan, but the numbering continues into the Bronx; still, it's irrelevant to this query, because the highest number is only 263rd St. See List of numbered streets in Manhattan. There's another, separate numbered grid in Queens, which as mentioned in numbered street (cited by Sluzzelin) goes up to 271st St., still too low to be relevant. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:33, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Similar to Portland, I found SE 410th Ave in Vancouver. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:38, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Seattle has a SE 488th ave. Again, a new city on a grid that can expand. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:41, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * And another similar case: Iowa City has a SE 690th St. They can really expand. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:42, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Des Moines goes up to 740th Avenue. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:44, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Manhattan KS goes to 3700 Avenue. I'm tired of looking. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:48, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * So, it looks like Kansas set up nearly the entire state on a grid, centering on Newton, KS. So, they get really big numbers. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:54, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * I'm surprised no one has mentioned this: the answer is Cupertino, California, home of Apple Computers, whose address is 1 Infinite Loop. --M @ r ē ino 20:32, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Ice hockey stick

An ice hockey stick is a piece of equipment used in ice hockey to shoot, pass, and carry the puck across the ice. Ice hockey sticks are approximately 150–200 cm long, composed of a long, slender shaft with a flat extension at one end called the blade. National Hockey League (NHL) sticks are up to 63 inches (160 cm) long. The blade is the part of the stick used to contact the puck, and is typically 25 to 40 cm long. Stick dimensions can vary widely, as they are usually built to suit a particular player's size and preference. The blade is positioned at roughly a 135° angle from the axis of the shaft, giving the stick a partly 'L-shaped' appearance. The shaft of the stick is fairly rigid, but is slightly elastic to improve shot performance.

The blade is slightly curved to aid control of the puck, especially in shooting. The direction of the curve depends on the side of the body the player wields the stick on.

The goaltender has a slightly modified stick. The lower part of the stick is wider, the angle is smaller, and the blade is slightly curved towards the direction of the play. New goaltender sticks also are made of the same composite technology as used in regular sticks.

History
The oldest known hockey stick dates to the mid-1830s; it was made for William "Dilly" Moffatt (born 1829) from sugar maple wood and is now owned by the Canadian Museum of History. In 2006, a stick made in the 1850s, at the time the oldest known, was sold at auction for $2.2 million; it had been appraised at US$4.25 million.

The Moffatt stick may have been made by the Mi'kmaq. Starting in the 18th century, there are numerous references to the Mi'kmaq people of Nova Scotia playing ice hockey, and starting in the 19th century, there are claims that they invented the ice hockey stick. In the mid-19th century, the Starr Manufacturing Company began to sell Mic-Mac hockey sticks nationally and internationally. Through the first decade of the 20th century, it was the best-selling hockey stick in Canada. By 1903, apart from farming, producing them was the primary occupation of the Mi'kmaq on reserves throughout Nova Scotia, particularly Shubenacadie, Indian Brook and Millbrook. In 1927 the department of Indian Affairs for Nova Scotia identified that the Mi'kmaq remained the "experts" at making hockey sticks. Mi'kmaq continued to make hockey sticks until the 1930s.

Hockey sticks were mostly made from the maple or willow trees, which was also a common choice for golf club shafts and wooden tools. However, as hornbeam supplies diminished, it became more cost effective to use other hardwoods, such as yellow birch and ash. Ash gradually became the preferred medium, and by the 1920s an ash hockey stick crafted from a single piece of wood was the type most commonly used. These early sticks were extremely heavy and not very forgiving, although they were extremely durable (Hall of Famer Moose Johnson famously used the same extra-long stick, which gave him a 99 in reach, his entire career).

There were only a handful of major developments in hockey stick technology between the 1920s and the 2000s. Foremost among these was creation of the laminated stick in the 1940s, where layers of wood were glued together and sandwiched to create a more flexible and durable design. In the 1960s, companies began adding another lamination of fiberglass or other such synthetic compound as a coating, which further added to the durability and usability of the stick. Also in the 1960s, players began curving the blade of the stick, which dramatically changed the physics affecting players' shots.

In the 1970s, cricket and baseball bat manufacturers began experimenting with lightweight steel alloys as a replacement for the traditional willow or ash bat. Hockey stick designers followed suit in the early 1980s, introducing first a single piece all-aluminum stick. This design was not popular, as the stiff aluminum did not have the proper "feel", and so a design featuring an aluminum shaft and a removable, replaceable wooden blade was tried. This became very popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s, challenging the prevalence of the traditional wooden stick for the first time.

In recent years, the aluminum stick, as well as its wooden counterpart, have largely been replaced by more advanced composite designs. Common building materials include fiberglass and carbon fiber. Composite sticks generally weigh less than their aluminum forebears, and they can be manufactured with more consistent (and varied) physical properties than their wooden counterparts. They are, however, considerably more expensive than wooden sticks, and are not as durable as the older aluminum sticks.

Materials
Over the last two decades, there have been tremendous advances in the material technology used to create hockey sticks. The vast majority of sticks are made with one or more of the following materials:

 * Boron Fiber
 * Carbon Fiber
 * Fiberglass
 * Wood
 * Aluminum

Carbon fiber
Carbon fiber has become by far the most common building material for sticks used in the NHL. Carbon fiber sticks were originally sold as shafts alone, much like their aluminum counterparts but nowadays, most hockey sticks are "one piece" sticks. The first company to successfully develop, produce and market "one piece" carbon fiber composite sticks was Composite Busch SA out of Switzerland in 1992.

Carbon fiber sticks are ideal due to their light weight and favorable mechanical characteristics. They are generally accepted to be able to store and release elastic potential energy predictably and efficiently. However, there is ongoing debate over whether the mechanical characteristics of composite sticks make for more powerful shots.

Compared to other materials, carbon fiber sticks tend to break more easily and cost more.

Fiberglass
Fiberglass was the first composite stick material, initially used with wood. Some sticks made solely from fiberglass have been produced but today, fiberglass is most commonly used as a composite with other materials, such as wood, carbon fiber, and/or kevlar.

Wood
Wooden sticks are usually constructed by laminating multiple types of wood into a high quality plywood, then coating the stick and blade with thin plastic or fiberglass. Some manufacturers use fiberglass as a laminate between wood layers. Today in the NHL, almost no players still use wooden sticks.

The main advantage that wooden sticks enjoy today is their low cost. This makes them a popular choice for street hockey. Their main disadvantage that wooden sticks suffer from is their relative inconsistency. Wood has a tendency to warp, and over time its flex and stiffness properties will change. Additionally, being a natural material, wood also creates variations in production (even between identical patterns).

Aluminum
Aluminum sticks were the first non-wood sticks to appear. Most aluminum sticks consist of a shaft made of an aluminum alloy and a wooden blade or composite blade, which is held in the shaft by glue and the compression of the shaft itself. There was a brief period in the 1990s when the majority of NHL players used aluminum sticks, but today nearly all players use composite sticks.

The main advantage aluminum sticks enjoy is their unparalleled durability. It is fairly rare for an aluminum shaft to be broken or damaged, even at the professional level, and since the blades can be easily replaced, a shaft will typically last for a relatively long period of time. Aluminum sticks will not suffer wear or warping like a wooden stick, and they can be manufactured with high consistency. Aluminum sticks, however, are not as elastic as other materials.

Lie
The lie of a stick refers to the angle between the shaft and the blade. A lie value of 5 corresponds to a 135° angle, and each additional lie value corresponds to a 2° smaller angle. With the bottom of the blade flat on the ice, a higher lie value corresponds to a more upright shaft. Typical values range from 5 to 7; most sticks now are near 5.5. Goalie sticks typically have a lie between 11 and 15.

Players usually seek a lie that will put the blade flat on the ice while they are in their typical skating stance. Hall of Fame center Wayne Gretzky, for example, used a stick with a low lie to correspond with his deep skating crouch and shorter height, whereas Hall of Fame defenceman Rod Langway used a stick with a very high lie number as he was very tall and tended to skate in a very upright position.

Stiffness
Hockey stick shafts, much like golf club shafts, are highly flexible, and this flexibility is a key component in their performance. Flex, bend, stiffness, and whip are all terms used to describe the amount of force required to bend a given stick shaft a certain amount.

With most composite and aluminum sticks, their stiffness characteristic is correlated numerically. This number, which ranges from 40 through 160, is printed on the stick and corresponds to the amount of force (in pounds-force) that it takes to deflect or bend the shaft one inch. For example, if 100 lbf is required to bend the shaft 1 in, it would be labelled "100 stiff". The stiff rating of a stick applies to its original length and increases if it is cut to a shorter length.

Stick stiffness is viewed as a very important characteristic by most players. Commonly, defencemen seek stiffer shafts, as their greater stiffness imparts more force on slap shots and improves stick-checking. Forwards will commonly seek more flexible shafts, as they require less force to bend and are thus better suited to create quick and accurate wrist shots, as well as improving passing and stickhandling.

Stiffness is also correlated to player strength; stronger players will often prefer stiffer flexes, as they have a sufficient amount of strength to fully bend (and thus maximize potential energy) using such shafts, whereas younger players and players with less strength will generally have more success using more flexible shafts which they are capable of bending to their optimal degree.

Blade shape
Until the early 1960s, hockey stick blades were typically not curved. However, in the late 1950s, New York Rangers center Andy Bathgate began experimenting with "breaking" his stick blades to impart a curve, which he found made his slap shots behave in highly erratic ways. Soon after Chicago Black Hawks forwards Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull stumbled onto the "broken blade", and subsequently began asking their stick manufacturers to create sticks with pre-curved blades.

Soon after, much of the NHL, and Hull in particular, became a proponents of the "banana blade", or stick with extreme amounts (often up to 3 in) of curve in the blade. These curves made slap shots behave very erratically, and in an era in which goalies did not wear masks, this eventually became an unacceptable danger. By 1967, the NHL began to limit the amount of curve a stick blade could legally have. In the NHL today, the legal limit is 19 mm, or $3/4$ of an inch.

Much like the shaft's flex, a blade's shape is a very important characteristic of a stick's performance. There are three primary variables in blade design: curve, face angle, and toe.

The curve refers to the basic amount the blade curves from toe to heel, as well as the part of the blade where that curve is located. A "toe curve" means that the curve is concentrated near the toe of the blade, and it is usually preferred by forwards, who seek better puckhandling and more accurate wrist shots. A "heel curve" is generally better for slap shots, and is thus used more by defencemen.

Face angle is the angle between the ice surface and the front surface of the blade (this characteristic is comparable to the difference between the different irons in golf). A more "open" blade means that the face of the blade is turned up more sharply, and thus will cause a higher trajectory than a "closed" face angle.

The toe shape refers to the basic shape of the end of the blade, and it is typically either round or square. Square toes make it easier to pull a puck off the boards or to do "toe drags" (stickhandling moves using the toe of the blade), whereas round toes make it easier to "flip" the puck, and also offer slight advantages in basic puckhandling.

Blades also differ in length and thickness, based on player preference.

Illegal curves
The curve of a blade is limited at most levels of competitive hockey, generally to an amount between 1/2 and 3/4 in. Hasty measurements can be made by attempting to roll a dime under the j blade placed face down on the ice, but accurate measurements require a "stick gauge" which measures curve precisely. Currently, the NHL limits blade curvature to 3/4 in. Being caught using an illegal stick is typically punished with a two-minute minor penalty.

The genesis for this rule was the "banana blade" of the 1960s. At the height of this era, players would often simply cross the blue line and let fly with a slap shot, hoping that the bizarre behavior of the puck would beat the goaltender. In this era, goaltenders were irritated by the danger such wild shots posed to them and in response, the NHL began gradually reducing the amount of curve a blade could legally have.

In the modern game, the emphasis on shooting accuracy has largely eliminated any preference for extreme blade curves. However, hockey still retains illegal stick rules, which has become a cause of debate. The argument is that since blade curvature does not impart any significant advantage, that penalizing it is unnecessary. Additionally, coaches have used the "illegal equipment" penalty at key moments in games to win a power play, and in some cases, swing the momentum of an entire series, including the 1993 Stanley Cup Finals.

Curves/blades
Hockey stick curves have gained in popularity since their inception. Curves range from strongly angled toe curves to slightly angled heel curves, affecting the feel of a hockey puck. Each hockey stick brand will identify the curves with a specific title. In addition, brands share curves to offer players similarities while using different sticks. The curve of the blade has a direct effect on your ability to shoot, pass and stickhandle. Changing your curve threatens your ability to hit the corners you're used to hitting, make the passes you're used to making and pull off the moves you're used to pulling off.

All Hockey stick curves have some degree of loft to them. This is similar to how golf wedges look, but to a much lesser extent. Hockey stick blades with a closed face will help keep shots low and powerful, with more straight-line velocity. Slightly open faces are slightly more open than the closed option, so it will still provide great power on heavy shots, while also give players an easier time lifting the puck on shots. Open faced blade types are, as the name states, the most open of the three. Blade patterns with open faces are great for getting the puck up in the air as quickly as possible in tight areas.

Mid curve
Mid curves fall between toe curves and heel curves and in use are a balance of the two. Due to most of the curve being in the middle of the blade, Hockey sticks with these blade patterns are great for stickhandlers, passers, and accuracy on all types of shots, including backhand shots.

Toe curve
Toe curves are blades that have most of their curve at the toe area of the blade. Hockey stick patterns that are listed as having toe curves are often preferred by forwards as they will allow them to lift the puck quicker and easier during shooting in tight spaces.

Heel curve
Heel curves are blades that have more of a curve near the base (or Heel) of the blade. This means that the curve of the blade will start here with the middle and toe of the blade straightening out a little bit. Heel curves are predominantly used by defensemen as they help improve slap shot power and accuracy.

Blade length
There is no ‘standard' blade length (e.g., 8" for a short blade and 9" for a long blade). The maximum allowed under NHL rules is 12.5 inches from the heel to the end of the blade. There is no official minimum length.

Blade length can vary greatly depending on the manufacturer—a ‘short' or ‘long' blade is a relative term and can vary between companies. The particular curve, or the qualities the pattern is designed to have—for example, better for shooting, for puck handling, for passing—will have an impact on the length of the blade.

Short blades

 * Give the player better puck control.
 * Promise a quicker release on snapshots due to the puck having less distance to travel to the release point.

 * Create less velocity on shots due to the puck having less time to build up velocity.

Medium blades

 * Are great for a combination of shot power and puck control.

Long blades

 * Help to maximize shot power because the puck has more contact time against the blade to build up velocity.
 * Deliver a slightly slower release on shots as the puck has longer to travel to release.
 * Help to make pass reception easier since there is more area on the blade to catch passes.

P92 (Bauer), P29/P90 (CCM), W03 (Warrior), TC2 (True)
One of the most popular patterns in the game today. Provides great puck control, quick releases, great control on shots.

P28 (Bauer), P28 (CCM), W28 (Warrior), TC4 (True)
Fastest growing pattern in hockey. Great for toe drags, quick releases, and getting lift on your shots.

P88 (Bauer), P88/P80 (CCM), W88 (Warrior), MC (True)
Classic mid-curve blade. Great all-around blade for stick-handling, wrist shots, and quick releases. Also good for backhand shots.

PM9 (Bauer), P42 (CCM), W01 (Warrior), MC2 (True)
Great mid-curve option for players who take a wide variety of shots. Backhands, quick snap shots, and wrist shots. Perfect for high-velocity shots.

Also great for stickhandling in tight spaces.

Ray Roberts

Herbert Ray Roberts (March 28, 1913 – April 13, 1992) represented Texas's 4th congressional district from 1962 to 1981. He was a Democrat.

Early life and education
Roberts was born in rural Collin County, Texas in 1913. He grew up in the ranching town of Westminster, Texas, just outside McKinney.

Roberts graduated from McKinney High School. He attended Texas A&M University and North Texas State University (now the University of North Texas) before earning a bachelor's degree in agribusiness. Roberts earned his master's degree from the University of Texas. He served in the United States Navy from 1942 to 1945. He was the final individual off the USS Hornet when it sank at the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands on 26 October 1942. Later, he saw active duty in the Korean War while as a member of the U.S. Naval Reserve.

Early career
Roberts was on the staff of Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn of Texas, working in Washington, D.C., between 1941 and 1942 before going on active duty in World War II. After the war, he worked as a farmer and entered into agribusiness. He was a member of the Texas State Senate from 1955 to 1961, serving as the president pro tempore of the body in 1961.

U.S. House of Representatives
Roberts was elected as a Democrat to the Eighty-seventh Congress, by special election, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Sam Rayburn. He was re-elected to the nine succeeding Congresses, serving from January 30, 1962, to January 3, 1981.

On November 22, 1963, Roberts was in the Dallas motorcade when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. He was riding in the same car as the Dallas Mayor Earl Cabell, and the mayor's wife. Their car was four cars behind the limousine carrying JFK. The family of Ray Roberts can confirm that the Warren Commission or any other of its investigation personnel never asked Roberts a single question about the shooting. When Mrs. Cabell testified to the Warren Commission, she stated that shortly after the shots ended Roberts first said, "That is a .30-06." (with Roberts meaning the shot(s) he could hear sounded like they were fired from a .30-06 type of rifle) and that Roberts had told her that he had also smelled the distinct odor of gun smoke (as did Mrs. Cabell and several other motorcade participants and witnesses who were all located down at street level, which was up-wind from the Texas School Book Depository, and 61' to 82' below and varying distances away from its sixth floor)

Roberts was chair of the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs from 1975 through 1981. He did not run for re-election in 1980.

Other
Lake Ray Roberts is named after the Congressman.

His official documents from his years in office both in the Texas State Senate as well as the U.S. House of Representatives can be found in the archives at Texas A&M-Commerce, which used to be known as East Texas State University.

His only brother was Roy Geldon Roberts Sr. of Plano.

Quai Voltaire

The Quai Voltaire is a street located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. 308 meters long, it lies between the Quai Malaquais and Quai Anatole-France. The Quai Voltaire begins at the Rue des Saints-Pères and ends at the Rue de Bac and the Pont Royal.

History
Originally the Quai Voltaire was the western portion of the Quai Malaquais. In 1644 it was renamed Quai des Théatins after some Theatines built a monastery on the quai (Today located at No. 23 and No. 25 Quai Voltaire). In 1791, the wharf became known as the Quai Voltaire in homage to the writer who died in 1778 in the home of Charles, marquis de Villette. After Honoré de Balzac set his novel La Peau de chagrin in the Quai Voltaire, antique shops became common in the quai. In the early nineteenth century the area became a well-known place for booksellers to peddle their wares.

Buildings of note

 * no. 1: The Hôtel de Bouillon and the Hôtel de Tessé were built in 1768 by Pierre-Noël Rousset and Louis Le Tellier for Charlotte de Béthune-Charost and her son the Count of Tessé. In 1742, Jean-François Boyvin de Bonnetot equipped himself with wings and attempted to fly off the roof of the hotel. He briefly hovered 300 meters above the Seine before falling into a boat and breaking his leg. The hotel was also the site of Thomas Robert Bugeaud's death in 1849. After President Jacques Chirac left office in 2007, he moved his family into the Hôtel de Bouillon.
 * no. 3 and no. 5: Hôtel Le Barbier, Hôtel Perrault, and Hôtel de La Briffe were all one unit until 1733. They were connected by a tunnel with the other side of the Rue de Bourbon. Author Maurice Joly lived there in a small apartment until his death in 1878. The Sennelier shop was opened on the site in 1887. It became famous for supplying art supplies to artists such as Cézanne, Degas, Gauguin, Pissarro, Soutine, Modigliani, Kandinsky, Bonnard, and Picasso.

Human Genetic Uniqueness Project

"we cannot fully understand human genome function until we have identified genetic features that underlie uniquely human anatomical, physiological, behavioral, and cognitive characteristics".

The Human Genetic Uniqueness Project allows Wikiversity students to join in the search for genes that account for the genetic differences between humans and our closest relatives. This project serves as a portal for learning about human biology. Student activities center on accessing genome databases and analysis of differences between human genes and the genes of other species. Background learning topics include learning about genes, and genome sequencing projects.

A starting point
Genes of the Chromosome 2 fusion site Results from the chimpanzee genome support the hypothesis that when ancestral chromosomes 2A and 2B fused to produce human chromosome 2, no genes were lost from the fused ends of 2A and 2B. At the site of fusion, there is approximately 150,000 base pairs of additional sequence not found in chimpanzee chromosomes 2A and 2B. Additional linked copies of the PGML/FOXD/CBWD genes exist elsewhere in the human genome, particularly near the p end of chromosome 9. This suggests that a copy of these genes may have been added to the end of the ancestral 2A or 2B prior to the fusion event. Is there any evidence that the "newly" inserted genes of the chromosomes 2A and 2B fusion site might have confered a selective advantage on early human ancestors?

Pascal Programming

Pascal is an influential computer programming language named after the mathematician Blaise Pascal. It was invented by Niklaus Wirth in 1968 as a research project into the nascent field of compiler theory. The backronym PASCAL standing for primary algorithmic scientific commercial application language highlights its suitability for computing tasks in science, making it certainly usable for general programming as well.

About

 * Target demographic
 * Adolescent and adult programming novices

 * Scope
 * Standard Pascal (ISO standard 7185) and selected modern extensions.

 * Description
 * This books will teach high-level programming, using the programming language Pascal.

 * Learning objectives
 * You can analyze trivial to medium difficult programming problems, take general software engineering principles into consideration, and write POC implementations in Pascal using its strengths and knowing its limits. This book will not make a senior-level programmer out of you, but you will definitely pass any college-level introductory CS classes.

 * Not covered here, but (possibly) in other Wikibooks
 * Computer architecture, low-level OS interactions, specific usage of high-level libraries such as.

 * Guidelines for co‑authors
 * American English spelling. Mathematical vocabulary, but explain words if they mean something special in mathematics.
 * Use Unextended Pascal, ISO 7185, as your base, and go from there.
 * Every example program is regarded and has to be by itself complete.

 * Responsible authors
 * These authors ensure the book follow a more or less uniform style and can be read from stem to stern with an acceptable degree of repetition. You are welcome to contribute individual chapters or sections without feeling responsible for the entire book.

2020 Emilia Romagna and Rimini Riviera motorcycle Grand Prix

The 2020 Emilia Romagna and Rimini Riviera motorcycle Grand Prix (officially known as the Gran Premio TISSOT dell'Emilia Romagna e della Riviera di Rimini) was the eighth round of the 2020 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season, the seventh round of the 2020 MotoGP World Championship and the fourth round of the 2020 MotoE World Cup. It was held at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli in Misano Adriatico on 20 September 2020.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
The opening rounds of the 2020 championship were heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Several Grands Prix were cancelled or postponed after the aborted opening round in Qatar, prompting the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme to draft a new calendar. However, the San Marino and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix was not impacted by this change and kept its original date.

Organisers of the race signed a contract with Dorna Sports, the sport's commercial rights holder, to host a second round at the circuit on 20 September (a week after the first race) to be known as the "Emilia Romagna and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix". The race was named for Emilia Romagna, the region of Italy that the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli is located in. The race was also the third time in the sport's history that the same venue and circuit layout hosted back-to-back World Championship races.

MotoGP Championship standings before the race
After the seventh round at the 2020 San Marino and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix, Andrea Dovizioso on 76 points, lead the championship by 6 points over Fabio Quartararo with Jack Miller a further 12 points behind.

In the Teams' Championship, Petronas Yamaha SRT with 127 points, lead the championship from Monster Energy Yamaha with 116. Ducati Team sat 15 points behind the factory Yamaha in third, and one point ahead of fourth-placed Team Suzuki Ecstar with 100 points, while Pramac Racing sat 5th on 97 points.

Tsanteleina

Tsanteleina (3,601m) is a mountain of the Graian Alps located on the border between Savoie, France and Aosta Valley, Italy. It lies at the head of the Rhêmes Valley, although the summit itself is hidden from view in the valley. The eastern side of the mountain lies within the Gran Paradiso National Park.

The normal route to the summit is from the north as the paths on the other side of the mountain have been neglected due to the poor quality of the rock. The north face is also popular with ski mountaineers.

User:Tomruen/List of A5 polytopes

In 5-dimensional geometry, there are 19 uniform polytopes with A5 symmetry. There is one self-dual regular form, the 5-simplex with 6 vertices.

Each can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in Coxeter planes of the A5 Coxeter group, and other subgroups.

Graphs
Symmetric orthographic projections of these 19 polytopes can be made in the A5, A4, A3, A2 Coxeter planes. Ak graphs have [k+1] symmetry. For even k and symmetrically nodea_1ed-diagrams, symmetry doubles to [2(k+1)].

These 19 polytopes are each shown in these 4 symmetry planes, with vertices and edges drawn, and vertices colored by the number of overlapping vertices in each projective position.

2023 Gibraltar general election

General elections were held in Gibraltar on 12 October 2023 to elect all 17 members of the fifth Gibraltar Parliament. This was the first election in Gibraltar's history to use an electronic voting count system. The GSLP–Liberal Alliance secured a fourth term in office, though it saw its majority reduced to one seat, whilst the GSD became the sole opposition party, gaining two seats (one by unseating the Alliance's Minister of Business and Tourism Vijay Daryanani and taking one from the non-contesting party, Together Gibraltar, which had been held by Marlene Hassan-Nahon).

Background
On 24 August 2020 it was announced that Government MP and Minister, Gilbert Licudi, would resign as Minister but remain as MP backbencher. Later, on 17 July 2023, he announced he would step down for re-election. On 14 June 2023 it was announced that Together Gibraltar founder and leader and her party's sole MP, Marlene Hassan-Nahon (daughter of Gibraltar's first Mayor and Chief Minister, Sir Joshua Hassan), would not stand for the elections and would leave politics by then. On 5 September 2023, ongoing negotiations between Together Gibraltar and the GSD to form an electoral pact were finally abandoned. On 13 September 2023, it was announced that GSD MP, Elliott Phillips, would not stand for re-election and that Robert Vazquez will return as an independent MP candidate. On 15 September 2023, it was announced that Paul Balban, Albert Isola and Samantha Sacramento, GSLP/Libs Government MPs and Ministers, would not stand for re-election. On 16 September, it was announced that GSD MP, Daniel Feetham, would not stand for re-election. On 17 September, the GSLP have announced their new four candidates for the elections: Hassans' Legal Partner and Head of Financial Services, Nigel Feetham KC (brother of outgoing GSD MP, Daniel Feetham); former teacher and Miss Gibraltar 1974, Patricia Orfila; Director of the Gibraltar Academy of Music and Performing Arts (GAMPA) and former Mayor of Gibraltar, Christian Santos & Hassans' Legal Partner and Solicitor, Gemma Arias-Vasquez.

On 18 September, it was announced that Together Gibraltar would not contest the election. Interim Leader, Nicky Calamaro, said it was because of lack of support from the voters since Marlene's departure, resulting on TG to restart itself as a pressure group to regain trust of the people, but he didn't rule out the possibility of being an independent candidate. On that same night, the GSD announced their 6 new candidates with 3x women (TSN's Senior Law Associate and Barrister and GSD's executive member and 2019 election candidate Joelle Ladislaus; RGP's ((Royal Gibraltar Police)) Senior Compliance Officer, Head of Special Needs Action Group ((SNAG)) and GSD executive, Atrish Sanchez and inaugural former Vice-Chancellor and CEO of University of Gibraltar, Daniella Tilbury); 1x Moroccan born-Gibraltarian Muslim male and GSD executive and Future member (Youseff El Hana); GSD executive (Formerly Together Gibraltar executive member) and candidate of TG in 2019 (Craig Sacarello) and chairman of GSD Future and Isolas' Law Associate, Giovanni Origo. On 19 September, it was announced that Liberal Party of Gibraltar MP and Minister, Steven Linares, would not stand for re-election, after 23 years of being an MP, and would be replaced by GHA's (Gibraltar Health Authority) Emergency Medical Technician, Leslie Bruzon of the same party.

On 14 September both businessman Allan Asquez and retired teacher Patricia Orfila put their names forward for GSLP executives to consider them as candidates. Allan said he had been motivated by issues including social housing and secure employment, especially for people with learning difficulties. However, on 17 September, shortly before the candidate selection process, he announced that he had withdrawn his application and left the party. Speaking on the 'Gibraltar Today' section on GBC's Radio Gibraltar, he alleged that he did what he did because the party's leader and Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, had allegedly conveyed to him that he did not want Allan to be selected and told the executive members not to vote for him, arguing that it broke the democratic process selection. He also alleged that if the executive members voted for him, Fabian Picardo would step down as party leader and/or Chief Minister. He also allegedly stated that he was threatened by Picardo that he would seek him as a backbencher rather than a minister if elected into Government.

On 21 September GSD candidate Youssef El Hana apologised, on GBC's Viewpoint, to Gibraltar's Jewish community for 'offensive language' used on social media from 2018, regarding national and religious conflicts between Palestine and Israel. Reacting to his apology, the Chair of the Charity, Learning from Auschwitz Gibraltar, Naomi Hassan-Weisfogel, said that he marched in the UK calling for the destruction of Israel in support of Palestine and that he had made these offensive posts for months, for which the march, Youseff denies.

Timing and procedure
Under section 38(2) of the Gibraltar Constitution Order 2006, the Parliament must be dissolved four years after its first meeting following the last election (unless the Chief Minister advises the Governor of Gibraltar to dissolve parliament sooner). Under section 37 of the Constitution, writs for a general election must be issued within thirty days of the dissolution and the general election must then be held no later than three months after the issuing of a writ.

On 12 September 2023 Chief Minister Fabian Picardo formally asked Governor Sir David Steel to dissolve parliament and an election to take place on 12 October 2023.

Opinion polls

In the initial opinion poll by GBC (released on 17 September 2023), the issues likely to influence votes are reported as the following:
 * Cost of Living (47.79%),
 * Health Care (45%),
 * EU Treaty (33.63%),
 * Economy (32.91%),
 * Housing (31.2%),
 * Cleanliness (24.17%),
 * Public Services (19.3%),
 * Family Life (17.58%),
 * Climate Change (17.13%),
 * Crime (15.06%),
 * Foreign Policy (14.79%),
 * Transport (12.62%),
 * McGrail Inquiry (12.26%),

Lead evaluation
The lead of the article opens with focusing on just one part of the Egyptian cuisine, instead of giving a succinct summary of the whole cuisine. Further into lead the other parts of this cuisine come together, mentioning all the other things involved. Including how religion is a big influence on the way Egyptians cook, and all the ingredients they use at the moment of preparing a meal. All the topics that are talked about in the article are mentioned in the lead. The way the lead is presented is perfectly balanced because covers all of the topics that are going to be discussed without giving a lot of details.

The content covers every aspect of the Egyptian cuisine, from the basic ingredients, to dishes, and the drinks consume. Everything is up-to-date in the article, having information from sources as recent as November of 2018.

The article is very easy to read, doesn't use complicated words, and the information is presented very clearly. The only writing error I can point out is that the first paragraph of the section "Cuisine and religious practice" starts with the word "Although".

The wide range from ingredients, to food and drinks that the article presents is what makes it strong. Although, the article can be improved by providing information about how Egyptians used to cook when they had kingdoms.

Golden set

In tennis, a golden set is a set which is won without losing a single point. This means scoring the 24 minimum points required to win the set 6–0, without conceding any points.

In professional tennis, this has occurred twice in the main draw of top-level events. It has also happened a number of times in the pre-tournament qualifier of the lowest-level events. Bill Scanlon had a golden second set in his win over Marcos Hocevar at the 1983 Delray Beach WCT event. Yaroslava Shvedova had a golden first set in her win over Sara Errani at the 2012 Wimbledon Championships. Steffi Graf came close to achieving the feat in the finals of the 1989 Virginia Slims of Washington tournament, winning the first five games to love against Zina Garrison, before winning the match 6–1, 7–5. At the 2023 Western & Southern Open, Taylor Fritz won the first five games to love in his round of sixteen match before his opponent, Dusan Lajovic, retired.

A golden match is when a player does not lose a single point in the entire match. There are five documented cases of this at low-level events. Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman did so in a 1910 amateur match in the state of Washington. Then it happened twice in France in the qualifiers of lowest-level professional events, two of them in the span of two months, both against the same 55-year-old man, Tomas Fabian. A golden match occurred in the qualifiers of an ITF Men's World Tennis Tour event in Doha in 2019, where Krittin Koaykul beat Artem Bahmet. Bahmet was a professional sports bettor who had entered the tournament without having played tennis before; his associate bet against him and won roughly €3,000.

G-Funk
While I am not in a position to decide who actually created the G-Funk sound, there is definately merit of at least adding a section about the long running argument of it.

Cold 187um (aka Big Hutch) claims in interviews himself that he created the sound. Here is a snippet from an interview and also the source. The fact that he claims that he created the sound warrants being included on here.

Dubcnn: Do people still ask you the question who really invented G-Funk?

 * laughs* Yeah, they do! It's funny, cause people know who invented G-Funk! The people who ask me, they're telling me "You invented it!" *laughs* They know the history. But yeah, the thing about it is that I don't even live off that. It's just that I've done something, I've influenced somebody, and I wanted my credit for that influence. I innovated a certain sound in this industry and people don't give me credit for it. People just look over me, people don't even put me in nothing, even if that person don't put me in nothing, knowingly that enough people know the true story, for you guys to print that. It's bad in that sense, not to say that "The person who took it is wack for taking it" No. Music is influence, when we click together we all influence each other. That's a compliment.

If I do something good and you utilize it and you come up, that's a compliment. What's messed up, is when you don't give that person the credit, when you don't pay homage to that person. It's like learning a skill from somebody and saying you made it up, and not giving your teacher the proper credit. That's my problem with it. It's not even about this person doing something with it and winning from it, it's only about "give me my credit, give me my just due." I worked hard coming up with a theory and an idea to be different than everybody else, you know what I mean?

dubcnn interview —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:09, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Whoever wrote this article...
...is obviously an ATL fan who has a certain kind of bias. First of all, "Black Mafia Life" does NOT predate "The Chronic"...it came out in February of 1993, while "The Chronic" was released in Dec. 1992. Looks like THIS person is therefore the one who isn't a "serious West Coast fan". The article also demonstrates its bias when mentioning that "Black Mafia Life" flopped even though that year was full of "commercialized and weak material". Therefore, I'm disputing its neutrality.

LOL, by "commercialized and weak material" he means The Chronic? And it's still saying "February 1992" instead of 1993 as the release date of Black Mafia Life--BubbleBabis (talk) 19:18, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Sales?
Can anyone confirm the sales of ATL's albums, I can't find evidence of any of their albums going gold or platinum. RedVodka 05:07, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Evening

 * こんばんは - Konban wa - Good evening.
 * おやすみ - Oyasumi - Good night.
 * おやすみなさい - Oyasumi nasai - an emphatic "Good evening".

Oyasumi - good night and oyasumi nasai - good evening is it correct?

Matusz 11:27, 7 Oct 2003 (UTC)

 * Sorry for the late reply..
 * Oyasumi & Oyasumi nasai are the same, meaning good night (or literally "please rest"), only that the latter is more polite.
 * And konbanwa is good evening. Tomos 21:19, 20 Oct 2003 (UTC)

 * Eh my typo on that, gomen ne? ^_^;; -- Emperorbma 07:04, 21 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Is it true that すみません means both thank you and excuse me? Also, there seems to be Dōmo missing in the transkription of どうもすみません (section "Please and Thank You"). --<IP_ADDRESS> 14:23, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Missing
Could somebody add in an explanation for the past tense variations? Like in <IP_ADDRESS> 18:19, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * doumo arigatou gozaimashita vs doumo arigatou gozaimasu
 * sumimasen deshita vs sumimasen

 * Alright, doumo arigatou gozaimashita is little too polite to say. Unless brown-nosing is the case.  You would simply say doumo arigatou- or you would say arigatou gozaimashita.  Likewise for the present tense form.  A rule of thumb here is the difference between shita (which is pronounce shta, unless talking to someone of high status then you will need to bust out shi-ta) and the masu only endings.
 * Masu is the present tense of a verb. For instance nani wo shimasu. Nani is the japanese for what when used to describe the object of a verb- wo is a particle used to indicate that the verb is going to be the next thing said- and shimasu( the present form of the verb).
 * Now in order to say something was doing in the past simply put shimashita. notice shimasushita.
 * Gozaimasu, indicating great thanks for something will be gozaimasushita in past tense form.
 * I would type more but it really is late and I just happened to be on :-).
 * Anata ha naze besuto tsukusanai desuka? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs) 07:05, 29 September 2007.

Wuest type herringbone gear

A Wuest type herringbone gear, invented by Swiss engineer Caspar Wüst-Kunz in the early 20th century, is a type of herringbone gear wherein "the teeth on opposite sides of the center line are staggered by an amount equal to one half the circular pitch". This staggering of the two rows of teeth causes the gear to wear more evenly, at the slight cost of strength.

2004 CFU Club Championship

The 2004 Caribbean Football Union Club Championship was an international club football competition held in the Caribbean to determine the region's qualifier to the CONCACAF Champions' Cup. The 2004 edition included eight teams from six football associations, contested on a two-legged basis. Even though two teams from Trinidad and Tobago contested the 2003 final, only one team was entered in the 2004 tournament, as compared to two from Jamaica. The inclusion of teams from Saint Martin and Montserrat and not from other Caribbean countries was never explained.

The first round included one of the great mismatches in international club history, as Harbour View FC of Jamaica slammed Ideal of Montserrat, 30–1 on aggregate. In an all-Jamaican final, Jomo Gordon scored in stoppage time of the second leg to give Harbour View FC a 3–2 aggregate win over Tivoli Gardens FC, thereby advancing to the 2005 CONCACAF Champions' Cup.

Dolly Style

Dolly Style is a Swedish girl group. The group was created by Emma Nors and Palle Hammarlund and features four girls that call themselves Molly, Holly, Polly and Yolly. The quartet claims to originate from a "dollhouse in Dollyville". The group is inspired by the kawaii aesthetic from Japanese subcultures, such as fairy kei, gyaru and lolita. The group has participated in Melodifestivalen three times: in 2015 with "Hello Hi", in 2016 with "Rollercoaster", and most recently in 2019 with "Habibi".

2014–15: Debut with "Hello Hi", Melodifestivalen and line-up changes
Dolly Style was formed in the summer of 2014 by Emma Nors and Palle Hammarlund under Capitol Records Sweden. Their debut was first announced in late 2014 and was confirmed to make their debut in Melodifestivalen in February 2015 with "Hello Hi". The group participated in Melodifestivalen 2015 with the song "Hello Hi", in the first semifinal. The group made it to the second chance round but failed to advance to the final. "Hello Hi" charted at number 32 in Sweden.

In April 2015, it was announced that Emma Pucek, the first "Polly" had left the group, and that she had been replaced with another person, Marielle Myhrberg, who would take on the "Polly" persona.

On 1 May, Dolly Style uploaded a preview from a performance of a new song called "Upsy Daisy", a release date has not been announced yet for this song, however, on 4 May, Dolly Style revealed the cover art for their second single called "Cherry Gum" and announced the release date for 8 May. They also announced that "Cherry Gum" would be released internationally. Dolly Style's third single, "Upsy Daisy", was released on 10 September. On 5 November, it was announced that Carolina Magnell, better known by her Dolly Style persona Molly, had left Dolly Style for personal reasons. Emma Nors, their manager, had announced that they would be looking for a new Molly for Dolly Style. On 17 November, the new singer for the "Molly" persona, Mikaela, was revealed.

2015–present: Melodifestivalen, singles and departures
In November 2015, it was revealed that Dolly Style would participate again in Melodifestivalen 2016 with a new single, "Rollercoaster". Like last time, they made it to the second chance round of Melodifestivalen. "Rollercoaster", their fourth single, was Dolly Style's highest-charting single to date, peaking at No.27 in Sweden. In June 2017, Dolly Style released their fifth single "Unicorns & Ice Cream", with the music video for it later coming out in August.

In August 2016, Marielle Myhrberg announced that she would be leaving Dolly Style. On 12 September, the new Polly (Sarah von Reis) presented herself on Facebook and Instagram. She promised to answer questions in the near future, and she also announced that the group was recording a new single. In October 2016, they released "Young and Restless", their sixth single. The music video was released over one month later.

Dolly Style participated in Melodifestivalen 2019 with the song "Habibi", but failed to advance from the third heat, finishing in fifth place.

In June 2019, Mikaela Samuelsson, who played Molly, announced that after four years she was leaving the group.

In september 2019 new Molly Linnea Källström presented herself in YouTube and instagram. In July 2021 She left Dolly style, because of her other job. In august 2021 Dolly style arrived with a new Molly, Annie Moreau

On December 24, 2023, Mikaela Samuelsson, who previously played Molly, was revealed to have returned to Dolly Style as a new character, Yolly.

Documentary
On 17 February 2019, the day after Dolly Style participated in Melodifestivalen 2019, SVT released the first of three episodes in the short documentary Dolly Style-fabriken ("Dolly Style factory") that showed how Emma Nors and Palle Hammarlund originally formed the group and business model, as well as their desire to export the concept to other countries. The documentary featured criticism against Dolly Style's creators. Emma Nors said that the documentary, by only interviewing earlier members and not newer members, was demonizing and biased. The documentary creators said that they invited Emma Nors to take part in additional interviews to respond to the criticism. They argued also that they tried to interview newer members.

The documentary's other episodes claimed that earlier member Sarah von Reis' departure from the group was not voluntary, and that Emma Nors had kicked her out of the group. Reis also said that she did not write the farewell message that was posted on Instagram in connection with her departure.

The ending of the documentary was done hastily, as its creators wanted to release the first episode in time for Melodifestivalen 2019.

Sou Fujimoto (藤本 壮介 Fujimoto Sōsuke, born 1971) is a Japanese architect.

Born in Hokkaido in 1971, he graduated from the University of Tokyo in 1994, and established his own office, Sou Fujimoto Architects, in 2000. Noted for delicate light structures and permeable enclosures, Fujimoto designed several houses, and in 2013, was selected to design the temporary Serpentine Gallery pavilion in London.

Fujimoto's designs blur the lines between nature and architecture. His concept of "primitive future" is evident in his deconstructed designs. His use of cave-like architecture enables the function to be determined by the user. He showcases this ideal in his Final Wooden House (2008).

Fujimoto published a book in 2008 called Sou Fujimoto: Primitive Future. It contains an overview of his projects up to that date, and it explains his concept of primitive future and how he uses it in his work.
