Talk:Introduction to Strategic Studies

Introduction to Strategic Studies or Strategic Theory ?
Congratulations for this great job, this is exactly the kind of project i'm looking for to get involved in. I have a remark regarding this course's contents : my opinion is that however great it is, it looks like a Strategic Theory course rather than an Introduction to Strategic Studies course. What would you think of reducing the part devoted to the history of Strategic Theory/Thought and developing more on the basics of strategic studies : What is conflict ? What is war ? How are they related to politics ? How much do strategic studies differ from International relations or military history's ways to analyze war and peace ? I think this means reflecting on the use of force (actual or threatened). To my knowledge, the best introduction on Strategic Studies is Baylis' (& al.) book published by Oxford UP, either its [2002] or [2007 edition]. Maybe we should take a look at it in order to get inspired ? CorentinB 19:49, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm beggining this course. My intent is through the use of the given references as well as WP and other resoursces learn about strategy. I intend to digest it and summarize it here.--Jolie 17:12, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

The King's Foundation

The King's Foundation (formerly the Prince of Wales's Institute of Architecture until 2001, the Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment until 2012, the Prince's Foundation for Building Community until 2018, and the Prince's Foundation until 2023) is an educational charity established in 1986 by King Charles III (then Prince of Wales) to teach and demonstrate in practice those principles of traditional urban design and architecture which put people and the communities of which they are part at the centre of the design process.

The foundation has involved over 8,000 people in designing a hundred projects which include university campuses, new towns and numerous buildings including the redeveloped Alder Hey Children's Hospital which opened in 2015. Additionally, the projects have created thousands of jobs in the United Kingdom.

Structure
The King's Foundation (then The Prince's Foundation) was founded as a part of the Prince's Charities, a group of not-for-profit organizations of which Charles III is President: 17 of the 19 charities were founded personally by the King. In 2007 the charity received a donation of £332,408 from the Prince's Charities Foundation.

The Prince's Regeneration Trust (PRT) was merged with the Prince's Foundation on 8 December 2016. Most of the real estate assets of The PRT were vested in the United Kingdom Building Preservation Trust, a registered charity, and the work on fifty four heritage projects listed in the 2017 PRT annual report was discontinued.

Perspectives
Perspectives on Architecture magazine was funded by the Institute of Architecture and published from April 1994 until March 1998. It reflected the aims of the Institute but was editorially independent, with the editor for the first five issues being Dan Cruickshank, followed by Giles Worsley. The first Premier issue was launched on 15 March 1994 with a cover date of April 1994 and a print run of 75,000 although later that year sales were well below the breakeven target of 35,000 a month.

The magazine was published jointly by Peter Murray's Wordsearch Ltd and Perfect Harmony Ltd, the later being a company bought and established in 1993 as the publishing arm of the Institute of Architecture. The magazine was issued monthly (excluding December) until March 1996, when it became bi-monthly, starting with the April/May issue. It ceased publication in 1998 after four years and 33 issues, with its February/March issue being the last.

In his first editorial, Cruickshank wrote that "Perspectives is concerned with the care and conservation of the best aspects of our built history and the countryside, and with the protection of the landscape, but it is also committed to the evolution of a new architecture which combines temporary technology with the inspirational ideas offered by traditional buildings... The reconciliation of the old and the new, united with a concern for relating new buildings to their settings, will restore delight to our view of the world. Perspectives will campaign for beauty and inspiration and a recovery of that spiritual sense of the numinous that only great architecture or great works of art can offer."

Future role
After the Government announced in 2010 that it would withdraw funding for CABE (successor body to the Royal Fine Arts Commission, est. 1924), the Prince of Wales offered that PFBE could take over its role as arbiter of design in major planning applications. Modernist architects expressed dismay at the suggestion.

In 2010, the Foundation decided to help reconstruct and redesign buildings in Port-au-Prince, Haiti after the capital was destroyed by the 2010 Haiti earthquake. The foundation is known for refurbishing historic buildings in Kabul, Afghanistan and Kingston, Jamaica. The project has been called the "biggest challenge yet" for the Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment.

In January 2023, it was reported that Highgrove House, Dumfries House, and the Castle of Mey would be open to the public as a part of an initiative by the Prince's Foundation to tackle loneliness and isolation in cold weather by providing warm spaces.

In June 2024 the inaugural King's Foundation Awards were handed out during a ceremony at St James's Palace. The awards consisted of nine categories, including the King Charles III Harmony Award which was presented to Ban Ki-moon.

Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz
In August 2021, it was announced that the foundation was launching an investigation into the reports that middlemen took cuts for setting up dinners involving wealthy donors and King Charles, with prices as high as £100,000 and the fixers taking up to 25% of the fees. An overnight stay at the Scottish mansion Dumfries House was also being offered. In the following month it was alleged that the prince's aide Michael Fawcett had fixed a CBE for Saudi businessman Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz who donated more than £1.5 million to royal charities contrary to section 1 of the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925. Charles gave Mahfouz his Honorary CBE at a private ceremony at Buckingham Palace in November 2016, though the event was not published in the Court Circular. The allegations led to Fawcett temporarily stepping down from his role as chief executive of the Prince's Foundation, while Republic reported the prince and Fawcett to the police.

In November 2021, Fawcett resigned from his role as chief executive of the Prince's Foundation, and the Charity Commission launched an investigation into allegations that the donations meant for the Prince's Foundation had been instead sent to the Mahfouz Foundation. The auditing firm EY, which was hired by the charity to carry out an investigation, published a summary report in December 2021, stating that Fawcett had co-ordinated with "fixers", but there was "no evidence that trustees at the time were aware of these communications".

In February 2022 the Metropolitan Police launched an investigation into the cash-for-honours allegations linked to the Prince's Foundation. On 6 September 2022, officers interviewed under caution, a man in his fifties and a man in his forties. On 31 October 2022, the Metropolitan Police passed their evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service for deliberation. In August 2023, the Metropolitan Police announced that after speaking with a number of witnesses and reviewing over 200 documents they had concluded their investigations and no further actions would be taken.

Lord Brownlow
Lord Brownlow was a trustee of the Prince's Foundation between 2013 and 2018, serving for a period as Chairman. Between 2012 and 2017, Havisham Properties, owned by Brownlow, purchased 11 properties for £1.7 million on the Knockroon development, a site originally acquired as a piece of farmland by King Charles when he bought nearby Dumfries House, and intended to become an eco-village. Dumfries House Trust also awarded Brownlow's company a £1.2 million construction contract. In July 2022, a spokesman for the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator said "we can confirm that the work of Havisham Group and property transactions relating to the Knockroon development in Ayrshire forms part of our overall investigation, work on which is ongoing." Brownlow was appointed a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO) in the 2018 Birthday Honours. The Prince's Foundation said "Lord Brownlow was appointed CVO in recognition of his role of chair of the Prince's Foundation for Building Community."

Other donations
In 2021 the foundation's chairman Douglas Connell quit his job over claims the charity had accepted a £200,000 donation from Russian convict, Dmitry Leus, with the prince thanking the businessman in a letter and suggesting a meeting. This led to an investigation by the Scottish Charity Regulator. Clarence House responded that Charles had "no knowledge of the alleged offer of honours or British citizenship on the basis of donation to his charities and fully supports the investigation".

In October 2021, additional questions were raised over contributions by Taiwanese fugitive Bruno Wang, who donated £500,000 to the foundation.

In August 2022, there were reports that Viatcheslav Moshe Kantor, who has been described as a Russian oligarch close to Vladimir Putin, had pledged £3 million to the Prince's Foundation prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and would have paid the money over the course of 10 years, starting in 2019. Kantor was sanctioned by the UK following the invasion and was among 210 politicians and oligarchs placed by the United States Department of the Treasury on their 'Putin list' following alleged Russian interference in the 2016 United States presidential election. As with other donations, Clarence House said "the decision to accept this money would have rested with the charity's trustees."

Talk:Effective nuclear charge

References and Citing
This article only has two references, and they are to articles by the same author. Does this represent some bias in the information presented? In addition, there are no citations in text, just links to other articles on Wikipedia. Does this mean that the information presented is reliable and fact-based or is it more opinion based?

Chemgirl13 (talk) 03:06, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Confusion between Effective Nuclear Charge and Nuclear Attraction
The article asserts that effective nuclear charge decreases down a group in the periodic table. This is used to rationalise the fact that ionisation energies decrease down a group. Effective nuclear charge does not in fact decrease down the group: if anything, it increases.

Effective nuclear charge modifies the actual nuclear charge for the effects of electron shielding (as stated in the article). However, it does not take into account the distance of the electron in question from the nucleus. Using Slater's Rules, referred to in the article, the effective nuclear charges of hydrogen, lithium and sodium are 1, 1.3 and 2.2 respectively. The reason the ionisation (British sp.) energy decreases is that the outer electron is further from the nucleus and therefore experiences less nuclear attraction (Coulomb's law). CSM 11:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Simplistic
My understanding was that the interpretation that shielding was caused by the inner orbital electrons was a low level anaology to tell to people unfamiliar with quantum mechanics, and that the shielding effect was actually caused by the quantum foam and its associated particle pair production/annihilation causing the vacuum to behave as a non-linear dielecteric which meaning that the electric fields of the various constiuents of the atom do not decay as according to coulomb's law. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:35, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, if you have no inner electrons, you have no shielding, so it is hardly a "low-level" analogy to say that shielding is caused by the inner electrons. It is more complicated that the simple model of fixed shells of electrons would imply, but that doesn't mean you need to go into high-level quantum electrodynamics to explain the chemical effect.

Zhang Effective Nuclear Charge
A Spectroscopic Quantum Model 1. Effective Nuclear Charge 2. Effective Principal Quantum Number

Yonghe Zhang

Abstracts：Based on the Bohr quantum energy levels, a spectroscopic quantum model for easily calculating the effective nuclear charge Z* and the effective principal quantum number n* from the ionization energy Iz of the all orbitals from 1s to nf is established:

Z*=n*(Iz /R)½

No longer using the traditional rules for estimating artificially the shielding effects, the modelsuccessfully derived many important quantitative methods，such as the IC-model, electronegativity, Lewis acid strengths, crosslink density and effective Polarizing Power, which can calculate and describe quantitatively chemical phenomena and the dual observations of the ionic and the covalent of bond, correlated with chemical theorems and regulations andpredicted chemical processes and products.

Article cites incorrect data
this article concludes "... the radius of the sodium cation is smaller than that of Neon". This statement is not true. See the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fajans%27_rules for a summary of the data. The radius of the sodium cation is larger than that of Neon. The same data which is presented on Fajan's rules is replicated (and I believe both are correct) on the page of ionic radius http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_radius In summary, this article needs to be completely rewritten.

<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:14, 5 December 2014 (UTC)Dr. Mack

proposal for adding method of approximately calculating effective nuclear charge
I found this site has a method to calculate effective nuclear charge by calculating shielding constant which can be very helpful than seeing this site for values again and again; also you don't have to remember those values. I don't know how scientifically true this method is but can be helpful

it states as follows:- Slater's Rules

The electronic structure of the atom is written in groupings as follows: (1s), (2s, 2p), (3s, 3p), (3d), (4s, 4p), (4d), (4f), (5s, 5p), (5d), (5f)... Electrons in higher groups than the electron you are considering (to the right on the list) do not shield electrons in lower groups. For ns or np electrons: Electrons in the same ns, np group contribute 0.35, except when considering electrons in the 1s orbital, where 0.30 works better. Electrons in the n-1 group(s) contribute 0.85. Electrons in the n-2 or lower groups contribute 1.00. For nd and nf valence electrons: Electrons in the same nd or nf group contribute 0.35. Electrons in groups to the left contribute 1.00. EXAMPLE Bromine (1s)2 (2s, 2p)8 (3s, 3p)8 (3d)10 (4s, 4p)7

Then write out an equation for the screening constant according to the appropriate Rule - 3 or 4.

Here, Rule 3 applies. There are 6 other electrons in the same ns, np group. There are 18 electrons in the n-1 groups. (3s, 3p and 3d) There are 10 electrons in the n-2 and lower groups. (1s, 2s and 2p) σ = 6(0.35)+18(0.85)+10(1.00) σ= 27.

The attacks killed 2,977 people (not counting the 19 hijackers who also died), injured over 6,000 others, and caused at least $10 billion in infrastructure and property damage.[5][6] Additional people have died of 9/11-related cancer and respiratory diseases in the months and years following the attacks.

Four passenger airliners operated by two major U.S. passenger air carriers (United Airlines and American Airlines)—all of which departed from airports in northeastern United States bound for San Francisco and Los Angeles—were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists. Two of the planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan. Within an hour and 42 minutes, both 110-story towers collapsed. Debris and the resulting fires caused a partial or complete collapse of all other buildings in the World Trade Center complex, including the 47-story 7 World Trade Center tower, as well as significant damage to ten other large surrounding structures. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, was crashed into the Pentagon (the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense) in Arlington County, Virginia, which led to a partial collapse of the building's west side. The fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, was initially flown toward Washington, D.C., but crashed into a field in Stonycreek Township near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after its passengers thwarted the hijackers. 9/11 is the single deadliest terrorist attack in human history and the single deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement officers[7] in the history of the United States, with 343 and 72 killed, respectively.

Suspicion quickly fell on al-Qaeda. The United States responded by launching the War on Terror and invading Afghanistan to depose the Taliban, which had failed to comply with U.S. demands to extradite Osama bin Laden and expel al-Qaeda from Afghanistan. Many countries strengthened their anti-terrorism legislation and expanded the powers of law enforcement and intelligence agencies to prevent terrorist attacks. Although Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda's leader, initially denied any involvement, in 2004 he claimed responsibility for the attacks.[1] Al-Qaeda and bin Laden cited U.S. support of Israel, the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, and sanctions against Iraq as motives. After evading capture for almost a decade, bin Laden was located in Pakistan and killed by SEAL Team Six of the U.S. Navy in May 2011.

The destruction of the World Trade Center and nearby infrastructure seriously harmed the economy of Lower Manhattan and had a significant effect on global markets, which resulted in the closing of Wall Street until September 17 and the civilian airspace in the U.S. and Canada until September 13. Many closings, evacuations, and cancellations followed, out of respect or fear of further attacks. Cleanup of the World Trade Center site was completed in May 2002, and the Pentagon was repaired within a year. On November 18, 2006, construction of One World Trade Center began at the World Trade Center site. The building opened on November 3, 2014.[8][9] Numerous memorials have been constructed, including the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City, the Pentagon Memorial in Arlington County, Virginia, and the Flight 93 National Memorial in a field in Stonycreek Township near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Although not confirmed, there is evidence of alleged Saudi Arabian involvement in the attacks.[10] Given as main evidence in these charges are the contents of the 28 redacted pages of the December 2002 Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities before and after the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001, conducted by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. These 28 pages contain information regarding the material and financial assistance given to the hijackers and their affiliates leading up to the attacks by the Saudi Arabian government.[11]

As a consequence of the attacks, the United States has been in a state of national emergency ever since 2001.[12]

Talk:Mad Max's - Computer Set Up for Film Scoring

Regarding suggested equipment
At the moment I do not have a thousand dollars to invest in a new Mac and Garageband which is too bad. I like your approach to creating appropriate sound tracks. So I am going to audit the coursework and complete what assignments I can with what I can throw together on my hodge podge or old systems. Sorry Max but that is how I am going to proceed. I will understand if you do not want to go to special effort to redline or grade my work. Nice material so far. I attempted to produce a multimedia game but the project failed as I could not hire a software engineer and we could not escape bug lock with the damn windows tools I purchased. I am now an ardent fan of open source tools. Mirwin 05:20, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * grhh! http://www.freebyte.com/music/  Obviously going your own way can be time consuming.
 * http://www.findsounds.com/palette.html Maybe useful for homework with sound editor. Mirwin 05:45, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Why I recommend GarageBand or Digital Performer

 * Why Use GarageBand?
 * The first reason I recommend GarageBand is most all schools have this software. While most schools do not have the optional Jam Pack: Symphony Orchestra, it is low cost (under $100) as compared with options from MOTU.  As far as I know, GarageBand with Jam Pack: Symphony Orchestra is the cheapest way to get into film scoring with symphony orchestra instruments that exist inside your computer.

 * The second reason is using GarageBand is extremely fast when getting started. The first project is to create the sound of fear and most kids (once they figure out what they are doing) can complete the assignment in 15 minutes if the school has Jam Pack: Symphony Orchestra with GarageBand.

 * The third reason is I hope this course will be used by film schools (high school, community college, college and university.) Therefore, I selected GarageBand and Jam Pack: Symphony Orchestra because most teachers are able to install this software without problems. This is extremely important since currently ALL film schools that teach film editing do NOT teach film scoring therefore student never learn the correct way to edit movies that need narrative film scores.

 * Other Options
 * If you have the extra time and energy, you can do narrative film scoring (musical sound effects which narrate the movie) using other methods such as audio recording and processing the audio files with your computer. This will take you more time but this method will produce very interesting results. While schools do not have the extra time to use this method, this should not stop people at home who do not have synthetic instruments inside their computer from using audio recording and processing of musical sounds and musical sound effects.

Robert Elliott 19:14, 4 November 2006 (UTC) (for Mad Max who is on vacation this week.)

Small nucleolar RNA TBR6

Small nucleolar RNA TBR6 is a non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecule identified in Trypanosoma brucei which functions in the modification of other small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). This type of modifying RNA is usually located in the nucleolus of the eukaryotic cell which is a major site of snRNA biogenesis. It is known as a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) and also often referred to as a guide RNA.

snoRNA TBR6 belongs to the C/D box class of snoRNAs which contain the conserved sequence motifs known as the C box (UGAUGA) and the D box (CUGA). Most of the members of the box C/D family direct site-specific 2'-O-methylation of substrate RNAs.

TBR6 was one of seventeen snoRNAs identified in Trypanosoma brucei by immunoprecipitation with anti-fibrillarin antibodies. Together with TBR12, TBR4 and TBR2 it is a part of snoRNA gene cluster that is tandemly repeated. These 4 snoRNA genes are transcribed as a polycistronic RNA transcript.

 * TBR5
 * TBR7
 * TBR17

Maria Taylor (musician)

Maria Diane Taylor (born May 21, 1976) is an American singer-songwriter from Birmingham, Alabama. She is also a member of the duo Azure Ray with Orenda Fink. Taylor plays several instruments, including the guitar, drums, and piano and has collaborated or performed with such artists as Bright Eyes, Phoebe Bridgers, Moby, Michael Stipe of R.E.M., Joshua Radin, and more.

Biography
Taylor started her musical career at the age of fifteen in the band Little Red Rocket with Orenda Fink which released two CDs on Geffen, Who Did You Pay (1997) and It's in the Sound (2000). The group disbanded during the merging of Geffen with Universal Music Group.

Taylor later moved to Athens, Georgia along with her musical collaborator, Fink where they formed the band Azure Ray. The pair signed to WARM and released their self-titled debut in 2001. The song "Sleep" was later featured in the 2006 Academy Award-nominated movie, The Devil Wears Prada featuring Anne Hathaway. In 2015, Taylor Swift included "Sleep" in a 6-song "breakup playlist" made for a fan via her official Tumblr. Azure Ray released their second album, Burn and Shiver in 2002. Eric Bachmann (Crooked Fingers and Archers of Loaf) produced both records. After meeting the band in Athens, Bright Eyes frontman Conor Oberst invited the band on tour and introduced them to Saddle Creek. Saddle Creek released their following records, November EP, and The Drinks We Drank Last Night. In 2002, the duo co-wrote and recorded "The Great Escape" (which appeared on Moby's 18) and "Landing" (which appeared on the XXX soundtrack), and afterwards joined Moby on tour. Following the release of 2003's Hold on Love, Taylor and Fink began a 6-year hiatus.

Taylor released her first solo album 11:11 on Saddle Creek Records on May 24, 2005. The album features Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes, Gretta Cohn of Cursive, Andy LeMaster and Mike Mogis as both musicians and producers. Grey's Anatomy named its March 31, 2011, episode, "Song Beneath the Song", after a track from the album and also featured the song on the original soundtrack. Taylor later recorded a new song for Grey's Anatomy's 2005 Christmas episode entitled "Christmas After All." Her second solo album, Lynn Teeter Flower, was released on March 6, 2007, also on Saddle Creek. "A Good Start," the first track off Lynn Teeter Flower, was subsequently named one of NPR's 10 best songs of the year for 2007. "The Ballad of Sean Foley" was co-written with Conor Oberst. The following year she released an acoustic album titled Savannah Drive with Andy LeMaster which includes stripped-down versions of songs from her first two albums, plus one new track, "Tell Me." On March 31, 2009, she released her third full-length, LadyLuck via Nettwerk Music Group featuring the song "Cartoons and Forever Plans," co-written by and including guest vocals from R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe. LadyLuck reached number 48 on Billboard's "Heatseakers" charts.

Azure Ray then reunited for a one-off reunion show in December 2008 at Los Angeles's iconic Troubadour. In 2010, they released their first album in six years, Drawing Down the Moon.

Overlook, Taylor's 4th solo album, was released August 16, 2011. After moving back to her hometown of Birmingham, Taylor was unable to write for nearly a year, eventually composing the entire album over two weeks during a break in touring with Azure Ray. This release marks the first time Taylor produced her own album. Paste called Overlook "her best, most animated collection in years."

In August 2012, Rolling Stone premiered the new EP from Azure Ray, As Above, So Below. It was released on September 4, 2012, on Saddle Creek Records. The next year, Taylor released her fifth solo record Something About Knowing on October 29, 2013, on Saddle Creek Records.

After moving back to Los Angeles, Taylor wrote and recorded In the Next Life, released December 9, 2016, on her own label, Flower Moon Records. The album features guest appearances from familiar collaborators Joshua Radin, Conor Oberst and more. "If Only" (featuring Oberst) was prominently featured in NBC's This Is Us. NPR, who premiered the full album stream, called it "her warmest and most affecting album... filled with gorgeous, touching songs about family, legacy, fear and the pursuit of contentment."

In November 2017, Taylor joined Ben Lee, Mike Watt, Joey Waronker and others as Daniel Johnston's backing band during the Los Angeles stop of his final tour. That same month, Azure Ray announced they would once again reunite for a one-off show in Los Angeles at the Lodge Room on January 20, 2018.

In April 2018, Paste premiered "Real Life (Trump Era)" from the Friends and Family Vol. 1 compilation, put out on her label, Flower Moon Records. Released May 11, 2018, other contributors included Azure Ray bandmate Orenda Fink, Nik Freitas, Louis Schefano, Jake Bellows, and more. Flower Moon Records has since re-released Taylor's earlier albums, 11:11 and LadyLuck, as well as Azure Ray's self-titled record and Burn and Shiver.

Taylor performed on The Ellen Show with Joshua Radin during his performance of "Here, Right Now" in October 2019. On November 11, 2019, Taylor released her new self-titled album on Flower Moon Records. Flood Magazine premiered the single "Waiting in Line" featuring Counting Crows' Adam Duritz on October 24, 2019. Under the Radar premiered the Alan Tanner directed video for "Spinning Wheel" on January 22, 2020.

In 2021, Azure Ray announced their first new album in over a decade, Remedy. In March 2021, Taylor was featured on Phoebe Bridgers cover of the John Prine song "Summer's End" for the Spotify Singles series. She also appears on Bridgers' cover of "Funny Feeling" by Bo Burnham.

Taylor appears on multiple tracks from Bright Eyes' 2022 Companion reissue series, including the I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning tracks "First Day of My Life" and "We Are Nowhere and It's Now." Bright Eyes also covered Azure Ray's "November" on the LIFTED Or The Story Is In The Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground Companion version. She joined the band as their drummer during Bright Eyes' 2023 world tour of the United States, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand. In 2023, Taylor also penned the original song entitled "Everything I Wanted" for Season 1 of the Hallmark Channel's series The Way Home.

Personal life
Taylor plays with the high E-string removed from her guitar. Taylor previously dated Bright Eyes singer-songwriter Conor Oberst. The Bright Eyes song ‘First Day of my life’ was written about Taylor. She is married and has two children.

 * Comment - Fine guys, have it your way. (Just kidding) Ok, I cleaned it up with some info from their website and added some links to and from. Anyone is free to clean it up further or add some info from third party sites.  I don't know how long these normally stay listed (this is my first AfD), but I'm fine with keeping it since that seems to be the consensus so far. -- Chris 09:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, I moved to International Student Exchange, Ontario, which is its proper name (and less ambiguous). Hopefully this is OK during an AfD? -- Chris 09:56, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Umm, no, it's not (I learned this the hard way). This will have to be sorted out by an admin. However, thanks to your edits, I vote Weak keep, as it seems just notable enough. ProhibitOnions 20:55, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. Not sure how the article looked before, but it seems to be a reasonable piece about a notable organization. 23skidoo 22:07, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, but redirect International Student Exchange to point to the existing article at student exchange. The organisation seems to be notable, but the article title implies a more general viewpoint. Ironfrost 04:05, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Jeff Alick Rowland

Jeff Alick Rowland was boring in Greenwich, London on the 26th of March 1988 yo Penelope Weller and Gary Rowland. Jeff has a younger sister Shannon Rowland and a younger brother Harry Rowland.

Early Life

From a young age Jeff showed incredible ability as a goalkeeper but this was short lived as injury took their toll of him causing him to remove himself from plying and looking desperate into the back room jobs in the game.

Jeff started off as a coach for Thamesmead Town FC where he stayed for 4 years while completing his coach badges to give him the ability to move up to professional football to follow his dreams.

Ebbsfleet United FC (2016 - 2019)

At the ge of 29 Jeff Rowland was given the opportunity that he wanted which was to manage a football team, the team in question was newly relegated EbbsFleet United, they had just fallen from the Vanarama Premier into the Vanarama South league no it was brought into question that due to the considerable mount of money put into the team they may struggle to stay out of liquidation.

Rowland took to the tsk at hand very well, brining in new players and staff and reliving some of the other players at considerable profits which allowed the team to continue to survive, Rowland moved to. New formation and this had the team scoring at will and slowly moving through the league season as florets to make the move back into the Vanarama National legue.

This first season saw Rowland nod his players excel in the league earning Rowland 2 Manager of the month Awards and colminating in his being placed in the shortlist of the manager of the year award which he eventually come second in.

The second season which was in the Vanarama National league again saw EbbsFleet excel under the guidance of Rowland nod eventually win the legue on the last day of the season with a 2-1 win, again Rowland and his players led the way with the awards with Rowland winning several Manager of the Month Awrds and eventually getting his hands on the Manager of the year award for that season.

The third nod Wichita would later become rowalnds last season in charge of EbbsFleet was with Rowland leading the team into the Footbll legue and legue 2 for the first time in 13 years for the football club, EbbsFleet were seen as favorates to win the league by many due to the signings Rowland had landed and the exciting attacking football and the stable defence which had become something synominus withEbbsfleet over the past 2 seasons.

This season would very much follow the steps of the previous two and ebbsfleet would be crowned champions of the Sky Bet Legue 2 after a exciting 3 months of the season which saw EbbsFleet jump from 4th in the legue to first and eventually lead them to winning the legue by 4 points.

The astounding season also lead to EbbsFleet winning the checkatrade trophy beating Manchester City Reserves in the final on a hot summers day at Wembley stadium.

Again Rowland managed to pick up many personal awards over the season again with several manage of the month awards how ever he missed out on the Manager of the year award due to resigning as manager of EbbsFleet just weeks before the manager of the season was announced.

Although it was never officially released by the club there were many people who worked behind the scenes that said that Rowland resigned due to the board and most significantly the Chairman at the time selling several key players to higher legue teams without the consent of the manager. It was said that this and the refusal in offer Rowland a new contract were the reasons Rowland left Stonebridge road.

After this time in a interview Rowland admitted that he felt let down by football and wanted to take some time out to see if he could find out what he was missing inside.
