829,987 | Lone Wolf is a series of 28 gamebooks, created by Joe Dever and initially illustrated (books 1-8) by Gary Chalk. The series began publishing in July 1984 and sold more than 9 million copies worldwide. The story focuses on the fictional world of Magnamund, where the forces of good and evil fight for control of the planet. The protagonist is Lone Wolf, last of his caste of warrior monks known as Kai Lords. The book series is written in the second person and recounts Lone Wolf's adventures as if the reader is the main character. As Lone Wolf, the reader makes choices at regular intervals throughout the story which then change the course, and the final outcome, of the book.
Although the series ceased publication and went out of print in 1998, a fan-operated organisation called Project Aon was established in 1999 which has subsequently converted many of the books to HTML format. Joe Dever gave his permission for Project Aon to distribute the books online via the internet. Subsequently, there has been a strong revival of interest in Lone Wolf, particularly in Italy, Spain, and France where the books were republished between 2002 and 2006. In 2007, Mongoose Publishing announced that all the Lone Wolf books, including books 29-32 which were never published, were going to be printed again.
However, in February 2013, after Mongoose had released 17 of the 28 original books, the publication of the rest of the series was transferred to a German publisher, Mantikore-Verlag. The deal did not include the publication of the last four books (29-32). On April 1, 2015, it was announced that book 29 would finally be published, first in Italian by Vincent Books, and then in English by Mantikore-Verlag. Both publications are scheduled for autumn 2015. Negotiations for the publication of the other three books are still going on as of April 2015.
Several adaptations also exist of the Lone Wolf series, including The Roleplaying Game, a D20-style role-playing game from Mongoose Publishing Ltd UK. A second version of this role-playing game, Lone Wolf Multiplayer Game Book, with rules closer to those of the gamebooks, was also released by Mongoose. A third version, by Cubicle 7, is currently in preparation. The series was also converted into different computer games. The newest project announced sees Lone Wolf going on tablets. Created by the Italian company Forge Reply, the new game was announced on August 18, 2011 at the Gamescom convention in Cologne and its first episode was released on November 14, 2013. In July 2009, Convergence Entertainment, a company best known for the live action King of Fighters film, announced that it had secured the rights to make a live-action movie based on the Lone Wolf series.
==Synopsis==
Magnamund, a planet in the universe of Aon, is the focus of battle between the powers of Good, among them Kai (God of the Sun) and Ishir (Goddess of the Moon), and Naar, the evil God of Darkness.
In the north-east of Magnamund's northern continent lies the realm of Sommerlund. Its people, the Sommlending, are devoted followers of Kai. There are those among them, known as Kai Lords or simply 'the Kai', who possess extraordinary innate abilities. Trained from childhood at the Kai Monastery, the Kai Lords are Sommerlund's greatest defense against Naar's agents.
Naar's champions upon Magnamund are the Darklords, who dwell in the scorched wastes of the Darklands, west of Sommerlund. This realm, inhospitable to most life, enables the Darklords to survive on Magnamund — though powerful, they are greatly weakened by the natural atmosphere of their world. Forced to enact their will at a distance, the Darklords wage war with armies of Drakkarim (humans devoted to Naar), Giaks (goblin-like creatures spawned in vast numbers), and other creatures, and are served by agents such as Vordaks (undead with psychic powers) and Helghasts (shapechanging undead).
At the Kai Monastery is a young initiate, given the name Silent Wolf. On the feastday of Fehmarn, when all the Kai Lords gather at the monastery, Silent Wolf is sent to cut wood from the surrounding forest as a punishment for his inattention in class. While he is gone, a surprise attack is launched from the Darklands at several places across Sommerlund. The Monastery is assaulted and the gathered Kai Lords massacred. Rushing back from the woods, Silent Wolf is knocked out by a low-lying tree branch (in the Legends of Lone Wolf novelizations based on the books, it's implied that the branch was placed there by a demi-goddess called Alyss so Silent Wolf would be spared the attack). When he awakes, he finds himself the only survivor. The last of the Kai, he renames himself Lone Wolf and sets out for the capital to inform the King of the loss of the Kai.
It is worth noting that in the re-release version of Flight from the Dark in 2007 by Mongoose Publishing, the beginning of the adventure is slightly different as Silent Wolf takes part in the battle.
===The Kai Series===
The Kai Series (gamebooks 1 to 5) follows Lone Wolf as he rallies the armies of Sommerlund and her ally, Durenor, to repel the invasion, pursues and captures the traitor who brought about the invasion, and survives plots to complete the destruction of the Kai.
In Flight from the Dark, Lone Wolf reaches the King in Holmgard who then dispatches him to Durenor to recover the Sommerswerd in Fire on the Water, and returning to defeat Archlord Zagarna, leader of the Darklords. The third book, The Caverns of Kalte, finds Lone Wolf chasing the betrayer of Sommerlund, Vonotar, in the frozen northern wastes of Kalte. In The Chasm of Doom, Lone Wolf thwarts the resurrection of the first and most powerful Darklord, Vashna. At the end of the series, in Shadow on the Sand, Lone Wolf recovers the Book of the Magnakai, the ancient text which contains the higher lore of the Kai Lords through an encounter with Haakon, the new leader of the Darklords. With the massacre of the Kai, and Lone Wolf only an initiate, these teachings were thought to be lost.
===The Magnakai Series===
The Magnakai Series (gamebooks 6 to 12) continues the tale, with Lone Wolf now a fledgling Kai Master striving to understand the Magnakai teachings. The Book of the Magnakai, however, is ancient and incomplete. To perfect his understanding and train a new order of Kai Lords, Lone Wolf must follow the path of Sun Eagle, the first Kai Lord and author of the Book of the Magnakai. Sun Eagle quested for the wisdom encapsulated in the Lorestones of Nyxator, seven orbs scattered across Northern Magnamund.
As Lone Wolf begins the same quest, however, war breaks out again. The Darklords have again rallied behind a new leader, Archlord Gnaag, and now hasten their invasion to defeat the Magnakai quest. In The Kingdoms of Terror, Lone Wolf pursues the quest through the war-torn realms to find the Lorestone of Varetta. Castle Death leads Lone Wolf to his first encounter with the Elder Magi and the capture of a second Lorestone in the fortress of Kazan-Oud. The third Lorestone is found in the Danarg swamp in The Jungle of Horrors. An old enemy from Shadow on the Sand is finally defeated in The Cauldron of Fear.
Lone Wolf then makes the perilous journey to the edge of the Darklands, deep in the territory of the Darklords. There, in The Dungeons of Torgar, he falls into a void leading beyond the plane of Magnamund. Finding the final two Lorestones and settling the score finally with Vonotar, Lone Wolf is able to return to Sommerlund, chronicled in The Prisoners of Time. When Lone Wolf returns to Magnamund, he finds that 11 years have passed and most of the world is under the grip of the Darklords under the leadership of Archlord Gnaag. Ultimately, in The Masters of Darkness, Lone Wolf enters the Darkland capital of Helgedad and brings about the destruction of the Darklords after having faced and bested Archlord Gnaag himself in single combat.
===The Grand Master Series===
The Grand Master Series (gamebooks 13 to 20) continues the story of Grand Master Lone Wolf and introduces the restored order of Kai Lords. With the destruction of the Darklords, Naar and his agents abandon open warfare and seek new paths to dominance, often focused directly on Lone Wolf as the keystone of the forces of Light.
In The Plague Lords of Ruel, Lone Wolf meets for the first time Archdruid Cadak, leader of the Cener Druids, and destroys the deadly virus they were creating to wipe out all life on Magnamund. Following that, the closest friend of Lone Wolf, Guildmaster Banedon, is kidnapped. The Kai Grand Master makes haste to save his friend in The Captives of Kaag. Meanwhile, Warlord Magnaarn of Nyras is trying to find the Doomstone of Darke to combine it with the Nyras Sceptre. In The Darke Crusade, Lone Wolf tries to find the Doomstone before the Drakkarim. For the second time, Lone Wolf prevents the resurrection of Darklord Vashna in The Legacy of Vashna.
Shortly after, The Deathlord of Ixia comes into possession of the Deathstaff, an item to be used to resurrect Vashna. But while Lone Wolf is away from Sommerlund, Naar attempts to destroy the Kai Monastery for the second time in Dawn of the Dragons. Following his defeat, the Dark God executes a new plan for revenge on Lone Wolf by sending a doppelgänger named Wolf's Bane in the book of the same name. During the mission involving Wolf's Bane, Lone Wolf finds out that Naar had come into possession of the holy Moonstone. In his final mission, the Kai Grand Master infiltrates the Plane of Darkness to retrieve the sacred jewel in The Curse of Naar.
===The New Order Series===
The New Order Series (gamebooks 21 to 28) was originally intended to be 12 books long. It features a new protagonist, a Grand Master in the Second Order of the Kai and a student of Lone Wolf, who is now Supreme Master. This series allows the player to 'customize' his character by allowing the choice of an individual name (originally, the name was speculated to be Falco Nero, or Black Hawk).
Much of the series focuses on attempts by Naar's minions to use remnants of the power of Agarash the Damned, Naar's greatest champion and predecessor to the Darklords. The series is set in Southern Magnamund, center of Agarash's empire which was not featured in the earlier series. In Voyage of the Moonstone, the new protagonist is sent to the Isle of Lorn to return the Moonstone to its creators, the Shianti. However, this book ends midway during the trip, in Elzian. The second part of this adventure plays out in The Buccaneers of Shadaki. After completing this quest, the Grand Master is sent to the Isle of Sheasu to persuade Prince Karvas, heir of the King of Siyen, to return to his homeland to claim the throne before the evil Baron Sadanzo takes it in Mydnight's Hero.
In Rune War, the Kai Order goes on a crusade to help the land of Lyris which has been invaded by the forces of Eldenora. The enemy leader, Lord Vandyan, has come into possession of the Runes of Agarash which grants him great power. At the end of the mission to destroy the runes, the Grand Master learns that Lone Wolf has been kidnapped. Similar to The Captives of Kaag, the Grand Master sets out to the rescue of his leader in Trail of the Wolf. A year later, in The Fall of Blood Mountain, the Grand Master is sent to help the Kingdom of Bor. Its inhabitants, the dwarves, have freed the evil Shom'zaa who is now wreaking havoc in the caves of this subterranean land. He returns to southern Magnamund in Vampirium, to deal with Autarch Sejanoz of Bhanar, who has found the Claw of Naar, a powerful weapon. After retrieving this artefact from Autarch, in The Hunger of Sejanoz the Grand Master escorts Xo-lin, emperor of Chai, to safety in the distant city of Tazhan across the Lissanian Plain as news of Sejanoz' invasion force reach the palace in Pensei.
The following adventure, The Storms of Chai, first published in Italian in November 2015, takes place 18 years later. Just like for the Nyras Sceptre from The Darke Crusade, the Claw of Naar can be coupled with a mystical evil stone to increase its power. This jewel, the Eye of Agarash, is set on the throne of the Khea-Khan (emperor) of Chai and the mission of the Grand Master will be to retrieve it.

===Writing===
Joe Dever was seven years old when he became a fan of a comic strip known as The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire, which appeared in a magazine called Look and Learn. He built armies of Airfix Roman soldiers and converted their spears to laser rifles, long before he was introduced to fantasy. Dever was introduced to "science fantasy" by his high school English tutor. He was the first and possibly only British person to compete in the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Championship of America, which he won in 1982.
Dever has stated that his earliest inspirations for Lone Wolf were medieval classical texts such as Beowulf, Gawain and the Green Knight and Le Morte d'Arthur. In his teenage years Tolkien, Moorcock and Mervyn Peake along with military history and Norse mythology all contributed to the creation of the Kai. He also used travel books to discover images of "exotic places".
Dever developed the world of Magnamund from 1975 to 1983 as a setting for his Dungeons and Dragons campaigns. Originally called "Chinaraux", the world consisted of only northern Magnamund. The Kai lords are like "psionic rangers with special powers bestowed upon them by their gods". An individual book took 9 weeks to write, with three for mapping and plotting, and then 6 weeks of writing the story, creating an average of 12 entries per day.
===Original publication===
Dever was originally contracted by London-based publisher Hutchinsons for four books, despite having planned out at least 13 for the series. When the first books proved to be popular, Dever was allowed an extension of contract and went on to write 20 books with Lone Wolf as the main hero, and 8 more featuring a new Kai Lord. He also developed the character Grey Star during this period, and four books were written using this character by Ian Page. (According to a 2008 interview with Joe Dever, Grey Star was actually the principal character that Ian Page played in Dever's D&D campaign in the late 1970s. Since Ian Page had created a detailed backstory for Grey Star and fleshed out many aspects of southern Magnamund, Joe Dever convinced him to write a four-book story arc centered on this character, and to include his contributions in the Magnamund setting.)
Dever also wrote The Magnamund Companion, in which all countries of the Lone Wolf world are described in some detail; readers are also given details on the Darklords and a trainer course in the Giak language. There are two games included, a Ragadorn Tavern Board game, and a short solo adventure that takes place immediately prior to book one, putting the player in the role of Banedon, a young magician who goes on to become a recurring character in the Lone Wolf books.
With the help of Joe Dever, Paul Barnett, whose pen name is John Grant, wrote twelve novelizations of the Lone Wolf books known as the Legends of Lone Wolf, several of which were heavily edited before publication. They have received mixed reviews from fans. Barnett was the creator of the characters Alyss, Qinefer, and Thog. Random House stopped publishing the novelizations after the twelfth book because "the books weren't selling," though the truth of this statement is contested. Barnett entered discussions with an Italian publisher about reprinting the books unedited in Italian, this finally occurring with some editing of the original text. In July 2009, he announced on his blog that Dark Quest Books would republish an upgraded version of the series in English beginning in 2010. As of April 2015, two omnibuses, containing the first six novels of the series, have been published, with a third one being listed on the publisher's website.
There has long been uncertainty amongst fans as to which version of the series is canon. Joe Dever has stated that as the game books precede the novelization, they are the "authoritative" versions. There is still some cross over between the novelizations and the gamebooks, however; most notably in the form of Alyss, an original character of John Grant's who plays a significant role in the final books of the Grand Master series.
Only the first four volumes of the Legends of Lone Wolf were made available in the United States (though Sword of the Sun was divided into two separate volumes, The Tides of Treachery and Sword of the Sun), and only the first 20 of the core Lone Wolf gamebook series were made available in the United States; the last 8 books were never printed in the US. It should also be noted that the American editions of books 13-20 were abridged versions and thus are shorter than the UK editions. The color maps of the UK versions are rendered in black and white in American editions.
During the latter period of writing, Joe Dever and publisher Red Fox were at odds, and Red Fox ceased publishing the Lone Wolf series after book 28, The Hunger of Sejanoz, citing lack of interest in the interactive gaming genre, despite hundreds of requests for the reprinting of several Lone Wolf books that had gone out of print. This left the series unfinished, as Dever had four other books planned. He first did plan on releasing these books in some form after completing his collaboration on the new Lone Wolf RPG. Finally, Mongoose Publishing, editor of the Lone Wolf RPG, accepted to publish to last four books of the series as well as republishing the rest of the series. However, after republishing the first 17 books, Mongoose the publishing rights of the series to German publisher Mantikore-Verlag in February 2013, a deal that didn't include the publication of the last four books. On April 1, 2015, it was announced that book 29 would be first published in Italian by Vincent Books in November 2015, and then in English by Mantikore-Verlag the following month, with negotiations still going for the publishing rights of the other three books.
In 1999, Dever gave permission for his Lone Wolf book to be published for free on the internet by the non-profit organization Project Aon. Joe Dever later gave his permission to publish the out of print New Order series. As of April 2015, all of the original Lone Wolf gamebooks, the World of Lone Wolf series, the Magnamund Companion and several other Lone Wolf related written works are available for download. Despite the online publication, the original print copies of gamebooks 21 through to 28 and the twelfth Legends novel remain both rare and sought after and, as of November 2010, copies in "good" condition sell online for between $150 and $200 US.
===Republication and expansion===
Mongoose Publishing planned to publish all the original 28 gamebooks of the series plus four new ones that were originally outlined by Joe Dever before the cancellation of the series by the end of 90s. Mongoose republished 17 of the gamebooks from July 2007 to February 2013. In March 2013, Joe Dever announced that his association with Mongoose Publishing was over and that he was switching a German publisher, Mantikore-Verlag, to continue the publication of the series in English. Only the republication of books 18 to 28 was included in the new deal. As of September 25, 2013, it is not known if the first 17 books will become available again. On April 1, 2015, it was announced that book 29 would be published in English by Mantikore-Verlag, with negotiations still going on for the publication of the other three books.
This new edition of the gamebooks features new internal artwork by Richard Longmore (books 1 to 12, 17 and 20), Nathan Furman (books 13 and 18), Pascal Quidault (books 14 to 16), Hauke Kock (book 19 and 21) and Stephanie Böhm (book 21). However, the original illustrations by the late Brian Williams were reused for book 22. The first book has been partially rewritten and extended by Joe Dever, whilst the rest were extended in-house. The republished first Lone Wolf book features a retcon of the opening of the book, where instead of Lone Wolf waking to find everyone at his monastery dead, he joins the fight. Dever has stated that, since he has the chance, and considers himself a better writer, that this is a good opportunity to make a better beginning. Longtime fan and now assistant Jonathan Blake said of the retconning that overall, despite his love of the original, the surprises, grittier illustrations, and better writing have "won him over".
Starting with book 2, a bonus mini-adventure was added at the end of each book featuring a character that is encountered during the main adventure or that lives events linked to it. These bonus adventures are written by various authors under the supervision of Dever himself. Illustrations for these bonus adventures were done by Nathan Furman (books 2 to 11 and 17), Richard Longmore (books 12 to 16), Stephanie Böhm (book 18, 20 and 21), Aljosa Mujabasic (book 20) and Hauke Kock (book 19 and 22).
In April 2013, Joe Dever announced a partnership with Cubicle 7 to work on the series.
In September 2014, the publisher Megara Entertainment announces the publication of a spinoff, Autumn Snow, approved by Joe Dever, and calls for a crowdfunding to finance original illustrations from Gary Chalk. This is the adaptation of a work from Martin "The Oiseau" Charbonneau previously published in French the webzine Draco Venturus by the non-profit publisher .
===Reception===
The gamebook series was published between 1984 and 1998 in over 30 countries, translated into 18 languages, and sold in excess of 10 million copies worldwide. Each of the first 20 books had average print runs of 250,000.
The response to the Lone Wolf book series has been largely positive. Three books of the series won "Game Book of the Year" between 1985 and 1987. The series was also awarded the Gamemaster International "All Time Great" award in 1991. The high quality of Joe Dever's descriptive prose receives especial praise, as well as the fact that the books, if played together, form a cohesive continuing story, with recurring characters (something not often seen in gamebooks).
Even so, the books are not without criticism. Wavering difficulty is a common criticism made about the series. The battles tend to be either too hard or too easy. This is mostly attributed to the attainment of the Sommerswerd (a sword forged by gods) in the second book Fire on the Water which drastically increases the wielder's combat abilities. Another reason for this would be the fact that a player can start with drastically different statistics. Finally, because the books were written to be functional both as a series and as standalone adventures, whether a player would have access to certain special weapons and abilities made difficulty hard to gauge.
==Adaptations==
=== Video games ===
Three computer games were released during the late 1980s using the Lone Wolf license. The first two, published by Hutchinson, were adapted from the first two gamebooks, while the third entitled Mirror of Death from Audiogenic Software, featured an original storyline. Mirror of Death was well received by several game magazines. The Legends novel Eclipse of the Kai was abridged as an audio book read by Edward da Souza on May 7, 1992. Another was recorded but not released. A version narrated and composed by Joe Dever was also made, but never released. There was also a series of telephone adventures called "Phonequest", one of which was known as "Fortress of Doom".
Three scripts were developed for a potential Lone Wolf film release but they did not proceed beyond the pre-production phase. However, in July 2009, a small company, called Convergence Entertainment, who produced the King of Fighters movie, announced that it had bought the rights to make a live-action film based on Lone Wolf.
An online MMORPG was in development by fans with the support of Joe Dever and a playable demo had been released for beta testing, but development abruptly stopped when it was announced that a first-person computer game was being developed by Singapore-based Ksatria Gameworks Pte Ltd. Joe Dever was cited as Lead Designer on the project, for which no official release date have ever been announced. The studio also had the license to produce more Lone Wolf games. However, the company abruptly closed its doors in 2009 because of the worldwide financial crisis. The rights to make a video game were shortly held by Red Entertainment before the Italian company Forge Reply announced in August 2011 that it was working on a game for the next-gen consoles.
In March 2013, an application for IOS was unveiled by Forge Reply at the Game Developers Conference as a story occurring between the third and fourth books, taking Lone Wolf to a mining town to unravel a mystery. Publisher Forge Reply plans to make three more games that will be different "acts" of one story called Lone Wolf: Blood on the Snow. Porting of data to subsequent "acts" will be allowed. The first act of the story, called "Rockstarn", was released in November 2013. The following acts, named “Forest Hunt”, “Shianti Temple”, and “V’taag – The Dark Tower” respectively, will be released subsequently.
An adaption of the first five books for the Nintendo DS handheld console, called LoneWolfDS, is available in homebrew format. Two game modifications for the game Neverwinter Nights were named after the Lone Wolf book series.
=== Tabletop roleplaying game ===
In 2004 the license was adapted as The Roleplaying Game, a role-playing game by Mongoose Publishing under the Open Game License using Mongoose's OGL System. This has met mostly with praise for its adaptation of the Lone Wolf world, though some believe that there are many overlooked problems with the RPG, such as balance between classes and "hard to interpret" rules. Dever is credited with helping the game's principal designer, August Hahn, incorporate information from his final four unreleased books into the game. A line of miniatures was also created for the game.
In March 2010, a new version of the roleplaying game called Lone Wolf Multiplayer Game Book, with rules closer to the ones of the gamebooks, was launched by Mongoose Publishing. The French editor took part of the development of the background. In March 2013, Cubicle 7 announced that it had obtained the rights to develop a roleplaying game based on Lone Wolf.
The 30th October 2013, Cubicle 7 announces the development of a new roleplaying game, called Lone Wolf Adventure Game, as "a development of the previous Multiplayer Game". A crowdfunding was launched on Kickstarter and collected £68,000. On 26 August 2014, C7 publishes the character sheet with a summary of rules.

13,060,656 | John N. Decore (April 9, 1909 – November 11, 1994) was a barrister, lawyer, teacher and a Canadian federal politician.
Decore was born Ivan Dikur in Andrew, Alberta to Ukrainian immigrants; he Anglicized his name to John in the 1940s. He first ran for a seat in the Canadian House of Commons as a Liberal candidate in the 1949 federal election. He would win the Vegreville district defeating incumbent Anthony Hlynka in a close 2 way race. Decore would run for re-election again in the 1953 federal election, once again defeating Anthony Hlynka. Decore would not run again after his second term was over in 1957.
Decore attempted to return to federal politics in the 1962 federal election, this time in the Edmonton East electoral district. He would be defeated by incumbent William Skoreyko. He would run one more time for a seat in Parliament the next year in the 1963 federal election in the Edmonton—Strathcona electoral district. He would be defeated in that election by incumbent Terry Nugent.
Decore's son Laurence Decore followed his fathers footsteps in politics and became Mayor of Edmonton and Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.

== Your submission at Articles for creation ==
I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Articles for creation/Music is me. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.
Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.
Here's an example of how to add references:
Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>
He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "Interview with Chzz", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22.
== References ==
That makes the references automatically display as small numbers which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.
Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put at the end of this page, followed by a question or get into our live help chat chanel at .
Best, ChzzBot IV (talk)

22,364,166 | Bakreshwar Thermal Power Station (বক্রেশ্বর তাপবিদ্যুৎ কেন্দ্র) of West Bengal Power Development Corporation Limited is a power station with an installed capacity of 1050 MW (5x210 MW) and it is proposed for capacity expansion of another 500 MW.
==Location==
Bakreshwar Thermal Power Station is located at in Chinpai and Bhurkuna gram panchayat areas of Birbhum district in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is located off the Panagarh–Morgram Highway, on the bank of Bakreshwar River some distance downstream from the hot springs and temple at Bakreshwar. Chinpai railway station on the Andal-Sainthia Branch Line is nearby.
==Capacity==
Five units of 210 MW each were commissioned in 1999, 2001, 2008 and 2010. For the first three units Japan Bank for International Cooperation gave a loan of 80.8 million yen or around Rs. 25.25 billion. The first unit was completed in a record time of 37 months and commissioned on 17 July 1999. The yardstick of Central Electricity Authority for construction of power units of 200–250 MW is 48 months.
Bakreshwar power project stage II involves installation of two units of 210 mW each at an estimated cost of Rs 20 billion.
==Neel Nirjan==
The reservoir formed by erecting a dam in Bakreshwar River named Neel Nirjan (meaning blue solitude), for providing water to the thermal power plant, is gaining in popularity as a tourist spot.
==Political imbroglio==
Bakreshwar Thermal Power Station was embroiled in political tussle for many years. It was initially proposed to be set up with central assistance but central funding was not forthcoming, in spite of the best efforts of the West Bengal leadership. Once the Left Front formed its government in 1977, Bakreshwar was in deeper political trouble. The delays over providing central funds for the project were cited by the Marxist leaders as another instance of the Centre’s "step-motherly" attitude to West Bengal. For several years, the Bakreshwar project was held up because the Soviet Union was requested to provide financial assistance. The Soviet funds never came even after several years of wait and negotiations. It was finally built by the state government,

384,239 | The terms virtuous circle and vicious circle (also referred to as virtuous cycle and vicious cycle) refer to complex chains of events which reinforce themselves through a feedback loop. A virtuous circle has favorable results, while a vicious circle has detrimental results.
Both circles are complexes of events with no tendency towards equilibrium (at least in the short run). Both systems of events have feedback loops in which each iteration of the cycle reinforces the previous one (positive feedback). These cycles will continue in the direction of their momentum until an external factor intervenes and breaks the cycle. The prefix "hyper-" is sometimes used to describe these cycles if they are extreme. The best-known example of a vicious circle is hyperinflation.
==Vicious circles in the subprime mortgage crisis==
The contemporary subprime mortgage crisis is a complex of vicious circles, both in its genesis and in its manifold outcomes, most notably the late 2000s recession. A specific example is the circle related to housing. As housing prices decline, more homeowners go "underwater", when the market value of a home drops below the mortgage on it. This provides an incentive to walk away from the home, increasing defaults and foreclosures. This, in turn, lowers housing values further from over-supply, reinforcing the cycle.
The foreclosures reduce the cash flowing into banks and the value of mortgage-backed securities (MBS) widely held by banks. Banks incur losses and require additional funds, also called “recapitalization”. If banks are not capitalized sufficiently to lend, economic activity slows and unemployment increases, which further increase the number of foreclosures.
Economist Nouriel Roubini described the vicious circles within and across the housing market and financial markets during interviews with Charlie Rose in September and October 2008.
==Other examples==
Other examples include the poverty cycle, sharecropping, and the intensification of drought. In climate change science, feedback loops involve positive feedbacks and negative feedbacks that respectively serve to intensify or dampen the effects of global warming.

157,859 | Al Perkins (born January 18, 1944) is a Texas-born American guitarist. Known primarily for his steel guitar work. The Gibson guitar company called Perkins "the world's most influential dobro player" and began producing an "Al Perkins Signature" Dobro in 2001—designed and autographed by Perkins.
==Early years==
Al Perkins was born and raised in Texas and learned to play Hawaiian steel guitar at the age of 9. In the 1950s Perkins was considered a child prodigy, playing with regional country and western bands, appearing on TV/radio, and winning several talent contests. In the early 1960s, Perkins began playing electric guitar with west Texas rock bands, and was discovered by Mickey Jones and Kenny Rogers of The First Edition. By 1968, he enlisted into the Army National Guard and was discharged from the US Army Reserves in 1972.
==1970s==
In 1970, Perkins joined the east Texas country rock band, Shiloh, and moved to California. The band included Don Henley and future producer/record executive Jim Ed Norman. Perkins was then hired to play in the new incarnation of the Flying Burrito Brothers and recorded the live album The Last of the Red Hot Burritos in 1972. Perkins, along with former Byrd Chris Hillman went on to join Manassas. Led by Stephen Stills, Manassas incorporated Latin jams, rock, blues, country, folk, and bluegrass influences.
With Stills working with Crosby Stills and Nash, Perkins and Hillman joined Richie Furay (Buffalo Springfield and Poco founding member) and J.D. Souther in the Souther–Hillman–Furay Band. Perkins moved into record production in the mid-1970s, but did tour again with Michael Nesmith and McGuinn & Hillman. As a session player, Perkins contributed to many notable albums, including the Eagles' On The Border.
==1980s==
Continuing his production work into the 1980s, Perkins also toured with Chris Hillman as a duo which later developed into the Desert Rose Band, before joining Dolly Parton in 1986, touring and recording with her for several years before moving to Nashville.
In Nashville Perkins reunited with Emmylou Harris on a new project, The Nash Ramblers, having previously worked with Emmylou and playing on the two solo albums recorded by Gram Parsons. (It was his association with Parsons that led to Perkins being called in to play on the sessions for the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street ). The Live at the Ryman album was to win Perkins his first Grammy award in 1992.
==1990s–present==
Al Perkins continues to tour and record. To date, other artists Al Perkins has played for are: James Taylor, Bob Dylan, Tori Amos, Garth Brooks, Dwight Yoakam, Dan Fogelberg, Joe Walsh, Mike Love, Solomon Burke, Patty Loveless, Cher, Rita Coolidge, Iris DeMent, Michael Martin Murphey, Buddy Miller, & Jim Lauderdale.
In 2002 Perkins released a collection of studio outtakes and rare recordings. Snapshots features recordings by the Nash Ramblers and the Flying Burrito Brothers among others. Triple Play was Perkins' first solo album of his own music, released in 2003, revealing blues, country, bluegrass gospel and Cajun influences.
Perkins appeared on stage alongside James Burton and Keith Richards at the Gram Parsons tribute show in California in the summer of 2004.
In 2009, Perkins formed Big Dog 3, a trio with bassist Chris Donohue and drummer Brady Blade. Big Dog 3's self-titled debut album features guests such as Jim Lauderdale and Emmylou Harris. Today Al Perkins performs with The HiPower Band, which includes vocalist Kristine Arnold (Sweethearts of the Rodeo).

== Wikipedia is not a guide ==
Apart from copyright issues, the content of articles you have recently created is not suitable for Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a manual or travel guide, and such content as "Parking is at the farm or on the road. Follow the Nidderdale way from the farm up the valley", "Presently permission for access has been granted by Mr Harker of Thrope Farm, no need to call", and so on, does not belong in a Wikipedia article. Whether this kind of content is suitable for the ukcaving wiki I have no idea, but it is not in line with Wikipedia's style. JamesBWatson (talk)
Re: Copyright I have writtent the material for the UK caving wiki it is my material. I looked up what was required and put the following on each UK Caving wiki page "The text of this page is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts)." They then told me this was not required because on each page a a GNU FDL icon was displayed.
Re: 'Travel guide' information. The first thing is I was willing to remove it but you did not give me the chance before deleting the pages. The second is that you failed to get more information - those instructions are in line with national and local agreements and if people do not park/approach the caves using the information whether for research or sport then access will be denied by the farmers.
Contrary to your profile on yourself I have not found you helpful or supportive as a new person doing this. Literally as I was removing the parking/approach to the cave details and you deleted the page before I had even finished doing it. Am a person not worth your time to help? To help me learn and make improvements to provide accurate information to all on the caves of Nidderdale. Chris Fox (Goydenman) (talk)
Looking at the editing history of the article "New Goyden Pot" in the ukcaving wiki, I see that the wording you refer to about the Creative Commons license was shown from 19:08 on 9 July to 09:38 on 12 July. It was long since gone by 20 July, when I deleted the corresponding Wikipedia article. With the best will, I really don't think it is reasonable to expect a Wikipedia administrator to search all through the history of a page on another wiki to see if suitable copyright permission had ever been shown and then removed. I don't know who told you that "this was not required", but content you post to Wikipedia is released under a Creative Commons SA license, and the GNU FDL does not fully cover the provisions of that, so such a license is not good enough for content which is to be used on Wikipedia.
I'm afraid I failed to make the point about Wikipedia not being a guide as clearly as I intended. Whether or not "instructions are in line with national and local agreements", the point is that Wikipedia articles do not contain instructions to readers or guide-like information about how to proceed when visiting places. If you put such information as I quoted above into articles, or "Follow the stream from either the Main Entrance or...", "Note the water coming in from your left...", etc, then it is likely to be removed. I told you this in order to help you to avoid spending your time on writing content which was doomed from the start to almost certainly be removed.
I am sorry that you "have not found helpful or supportive", and that you suggest that I don't regard you as "a person not worth time to help". I found an article you had written was tagged as a copyright infringement. On investigation I found that some other articles suffered from the same problem. I could very easily have simply deleted them and moved on: I was under no obligation to do anything else. Instead, I chose to spend a little of my time composing and writing a message for you about why some of the content would probably be regarded as unsuitable for a Wikipedia article. The reason that I chose to spend my time doing that was that I thought it would help you in the future to write articles in a form that would be accepted. I am sincerely sorry that my time and effort was wasted, and that you regard my message as unhelpful. I have spent significantly more time writing this message, and I do hope you will find this one helpful.
I have restored the articles, and "userfied them at Chris Fox (Goydenman)/New Goyden and Chris Fox (Goydenman)/New Goyden pot. You can edit them there and move them back into main article space when they are ready. (At the right hand end of the row of tabs at the top of the page there is a link labelled "Move". If you can't see it, point your mouse at the little downward pointing triangle.) For the article that, immediately before deletion, contained a copyright infringement notice, I have removed that notice and given an edit summary with a link to the past version of the ukcaving wiki page containing the CC by SA licensing information.
Once again, I hope that you find this message helpful, unlike my previous attempt to help you. Please feel free to contact me again if I have still not made things clear enough. JamesBWatson (talk) | 503,437,723 | 2012-07-21T13:59:35 | Chris Fox (Goydenman) | 2,015 |
43,842 | == Subtypes Issue - Cycloid and others ==
Cycloid psychosis is acknowledged in the literature but it not recognized in ICD10 or DSM 5. There is 'Brief psychotic disorder' which is considered similar.
Regardless, it seems a too rare and not universally agreed diagnosis to merit a complete description in the main psychosis article. I suggest it be moved to the article "Brief psychotic disorder".
Also, "Occupational psychosis" is apparently not actually a diagnosis as such and its own article has some problems. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timetraveler3.14 (talk • contribs) | 676,759,274 | 2015-08-19T00:09:23 | Psychosis | 2,015 |

===Revised lead===
The revised lead does not confirm to LEAD: it is not a summary of the article, not NPOV, and contains no references for most of it's statements. A lot of criticism of Blavatsky is possible (I'm not a fan myself), but this is not an improvement. Therefore, I undid the revision. Joshua Jonathan (talk)
The lead is now acceptable. Good job. Mvaldemar (talk)
Thanks. By the way: I'm still not a fan of Blavatsky - but the impact of the Theosophical Society can hardly be over-estimated. See also D.T. Suzuki and Ashin Jinarakkhita, to name a few (of probably a lot more). Greetings, Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk!
===Rewrite by a native speaker, please===
Half the sentences in this article would score a d-minus on any fifth grade writing test. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.232.191.16 (talk)
===Thevetat redirect===
The link Thevetat at the bottom only redirects back to this same page. But that link is the only reference to Thevetat in the article, and no dragon (if that is what Thevetat is) is mentioned at all. I was originally redirected to this page while looking for information on that name, but it looks like a complete dead end. 50.30.49.13 (talk)
===Comments===
Overall, the standard of writing is weak. The constant repetition of "H.P. Blavatsky" is quite artificial, and suggests a wholesale copying of content from somewhere which is not acknowledged. The article appears not to know that she was always called "Madame Blavatsky" in England, so maybe a Russian source?
The article as a whole has an aura of hero-worship. And sentences like "As of 2011 Theosophy remains an active philosophical school with presences in more than 50 countries around the world" looks one-eyed. You know, there are plenty of organisations which keep offices round the world, but which are basically as dead as the Dodo. Members number 20 to 30,000: ("Theosophical Society Membership Statistics 2007/2008" under Sources). That's a very small number.
Most of all, I miss a sense of what a really good biography should be. Though it is a bit out of date now, the touchstone for a modern biography is Lytton Strachey's Eminent Victorians. In four short biographies the reader gets a sense of an inquiring mind searching out the real core of a famous person's life: the things that really matter above all else.
The article is very long, and far too much time is spent describing Theosophy. Probably 3/4 of the article is not about the person, except indirectly. Biographies are supposed to be about people. Maybe we don't actually know much about her as a person. Macdonald-ross (talk)
Indeed, I agree with your comments. Attempts to counterbalance this unbalanced entry are removed or carefully re-worded to make it look that the exposure she received in her lifetime was unfounded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruvenru (talk • contribs)
:I just wanted to point out that this article seems to contain evidence of time travel. The following was found in the article: And a second error at: (she passed in 1891) One of you experts might want to address this. 99.122.112.233 (talk)
I should like to apologize for mistakes I may have made in code in my edits of this article feel free to fix them. Let's all be honest about this. Sources for information about this person pretty much all originate from within the "theosophy lodge" the lodge itself is nothing more then a refuge for charlatans of various sorts and has been exposed as such time and time again. The theosophy "lodge" is very sophisticated in its endeavors to create false history for itself and its claimed founder in all of its iterations. Claims about Madame Blavatsky founding the "theosophy lodge" are in fact the cult formerly known as "church universal and triumphant" attempts to rebrand themselves following bad publicity regarding their racism and bust with a cache of weapons in America during the 1980s. It is the same group and the attempts to deceive people genuinely seeking spiritual improvement are deplorable. Time travel? Really? From this bunch? I think not. The unfortunate truth is that the "theosophy lodge" is willing to resort to any manner of deceit, revisionism, and conspiracy in their efforts to dupe the souls unfortunate enough to fall under their influence. The entire article is nothing more then "church universal and triumphant" inheritors thinly veiled attempt to rebrand themselves and hoodwink people into believing their lies. It is disgraceful that Wikipedia is being subverted in this fashion and frankly something needs to be done. The group offered someone I know personally a large bribe as well as a cut of the profits of books and seminars if he would pretend to "channel" an ascended master from the white lodge. All of the parties involved in this nonsense should be ashamed of themselves but alas some of the inner circle are actually Satanists or Anarchists deliberately intent on confusing people. I am a sociologist in the United States and have followed the antics of this group since about 1984. Most of this article is made up out of whole cloth or "sources" provided from within the group itself and this goes even for the supposed sources within the Harvard Divinity School. It is unacceptable that Wikipedia is a party to this. Several groups use this umbrella in pursuit of their aims whether they be profit or spiritual anarchy or deliberate deceit and some of them ARE DANGEROUS ala C.U.T.'s substantial cache of automatic weapons. The wiki community can not simply allow them to make up their own history, references and post them. I would also point out that the intelligence community in the US has made use of the umbrella represented by this group and that groups and members of this ideological umbrella have been caught misrepresenting themselves as Freemasons, "Merry Pranksters", the intelligence community and law enforcement. Believe what you like but the truth remains pure and immune to rearrangement by perception or lies. Paul Escudero (talk)
===A nice page, but needs re-write for English usage===
It is a very nice presentation on Blavatsky. Both the tone and the general emphasis are right. But the grammar is very weak, to the point of sometimes obscuring the meaning. Please somebody, preserve the tone and correct the grammar.
== Countess Blavatsky – spiritualistic investigator ==
"Countess Blavatsky" was commissioned as a spiritualistic investigator by Alexandr Aksakov, while he was a member of the Russian Imperial Chancellery.
Is there more about her work as spiritualistic investigator? Was her "Countess Blavatsky" title debunked? —BoBoMisiu (talk)
She was certainly from an aristocratic family; whether that makes her a countess or not I have no idea, but certainly she is not regularly referred to as such in the biographies and other studies of her life and ideas. Regarding Aksakov, he is mentioned in pages 123, 153, and 175 of Lachman's biography, and on pages 173 and 174 of Cranston's biography. From these it doesn't seem like Blavatsky's involvement with Aksakov expanded much beyond a correspondence; Lachman also notes that Aksakov requested that Blavatsy might translate Olcott's People from the Other World into Russian, although he does not state whether this actually happened or not. Midnightblueowl (talk)
I've added a referenced mention of her correspondence with Aksakov into the article, at the appropriate juncture. Midnightblueowl (talk)
== Paul Barlow is Intelligent ==
Listen to this fellow, actually read her works apparently. If any of you editorial magisterial elite Brahmins ever read "The Secret Doctrine", the racism is absolutely central and painfully obvious as one of the central notions of her specific rendition of "Theosophy" -
Her comments cannot be taken out of context. She states that the black race in America shall intermix with the others, seemingly "liberal" right?, as part of "karmic evolutionary progress" - reading more closely, what she is stating is the African type shall cease to exist as an outmoded form or vehicle by its eliminatory assimilation into the "Anglo-Teutonic" racial mass possessed of the highest "physical intellectuality" (see Mahatma letters) - and ANGLO-TEUTON is what Blavatsky means in describing America's "racial future" and "AMERICANS" - the alleged evolutionary "next step" is the fusion of Slavs and Teutonic types, vanguard species life-forms, as the "cream of the crop" of the Aryan Root Race as it dissolves and is reborn into the next post-Aryan Root Race. Racial mixing as moderns understand was not in her mind: elimination by absorption was the "karmic destiny" of the African and related varieties of humanity who lag behind the "WHITE CONQUERORS" (Mahatma Letters)... If too inferior, as the Tasmanians and certain Oceanic tribes, B. is clear as pure day their time is past, they are doomed: select specimens of Africo-Asians are granted by her munificence a form of survival by being uplifted through assimilative means is the extent of her "pan-humanistic" generosity. I speak the truth.
There, every Wiki-editor go crazy and hysterically shout me down now for telling the truth without pandering to populist moralism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.52.186.148 (talk) | 677,078,061 | 2015-08-21T00:25:38 | Helena Blavatsky | 2,015 |

5,399,386 | Evaeverson Lemos da Silva (born 16 June 1980), commonly known as Brandão, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for French club SC Bastia as a striker.
He spent most of his professional career with Shakhtar Donetsk, appearing in 220 official games and scoring 91 goals while winning seven major titles. He also played several years in France, notably with Marseille, where he conquered the 2010 national championship amongst other accolades.
==Football career==
===Early years / Shakhtar===
Born in São Paulo, Brandão only played with modest clubs in his country initially. In 2002 he signed with Ukrainian Premier League club FC Shakhtar Donetsk, from Iraty Sport Club, going on to be an offensive mainstay over the course of the following seasons.
In a team filled with compatriots, Brandão scored 39 goals combined in the three championships won by the club during that timeframe, notably topping the charts in the 2005–06 campaign at 15 goals.
===France===
On 13 January 2009 Brandão left for France with Olympique de Marseille, netting eight times in 30 games in his first full season as the club won the Ligue 1 trophy after an 18-year wait. He was loaned twice in his early stint to two teams in his homeland, Cruzeiro Esporte Clube and Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense.
In January 2012 Brandão returned to L'OM, notably scoring in the 92nd minute of a 2–2 away draw against Inter Milan for the campaign's UEFA Champions League round-of-16 second leg, enabling his team to advance on the away goals rule and reach the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time since 1993. On 14 April he netted the game's only goal in the final of the Coupe de la Ligue, against Olympique Lyonnais in extra time.
Brandão was released in June 2012 along with Elinton Andrade, Djimi Traore and Jean-Philippe Sabo and, two months later, signed with fellow top-divisioner AS Saint-Étienne on a two-year contract. On 20 April of the following year, again in the domestic cup, he scored in the 1–0 triumph over Stade Rennais F.C. to give his team its first piece of silverware since 1981.
In August 2014 Brandão joined fellow top-divisioner SC Bastia after complicated negotiations between St-Étienne and Bastia, due to issues related to the transfer of Sylvain Marchal between the two clubs in July 2012. In the same month, during a league game against Paris Saint-Germain FC, he headbutted opposing player Thiago Motta and broke his nose, being provisionally suspended from 22 August pending a league disciplinary hearing and eventually receiving a six-month ban; on 27 November he was jailed for one month for his attack, in addition to receiving a €20,000 fine.
Brandão made his return on 11 April 2015, appearing as a late substitute as Bastia lost 0–4 to the same opponents in the French League Cup final.

Image is sourced from http://impawards.com/2009/hannah_montana_the_movie.html and reduced but the colour has been manipulated making it a derivative work, which is not permitted under doctrines of fair use, as per this post at Editor assistance/Requests. Image is redundant to Hannah-montana-movie-poster.jpg, which was the image previously used at The Movie. AussieLegend (talk)
Please stop this. The colors are not manipulated and I'm sure that whatever was posted is just meaning that in the sense I can't turn a the Hannah Montana logo from gold and purple to orange and green. You're just looking for any random reason to get your way even though it has been discussed and the png version was chosen.
That was the wrong url. I have corrected it so you can see that the colors are not manipulated.
:Before I asked about manipulating colours in non-free images at Editor assistance/Requests#Manipulation of non-free content I found an identical version here confirming the colouring. As for the png version being "chosen", it's only Ipodnano05 who wishes to change the image from the original, but that's a discussion for the article talk page, not here.

205,818 | Legalization (also spelled legalisation) is the process of removing a legal prohibition against something which is currently not legal.
Legalization is a process often applied to what are regarded, by those working towards legalization, as victimless crimes, of which one example is the consumption of illegal drugs (see drug legalization).
Legalization should be contrasted with decriminalization, which removes criminal charges from an action, but leaves intact associated laws and regulations.
Proponents of libertarianism support legalization of what they regard as victimless crimes, such as recreational drug and alcohol use, gun ownership, and prostitution.
In U. S. immigration context, the term "legalization" is colloquially used to refer to a process whereby a person illegally present in the country can obtain lawful permanent residence. Since 1929, the US law has provided the legalization procedure known as registry, which simply requires the applicant to prove that he has continuously resided in the country since before a certain specified "registry date" (originally, 1921; presently, 1972), and is not inadmissible on other grounds (criminal history, etc.). One legalization proposal that was widely discussed recently was the DREAM Act.

384,246 | H. Bustos Domecq (Honorio Bustos Domecq) is a pseudonym used for several collaborative works by the Argentine writers Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares.
==Origin==
Bustos Domecq made his first appearance as F. (Francisco) Bustos, the pseudonym under which Borges, in 1933, published his first fictional story, now known as "Hombre de la esquina rosada", ("Man from the Pink Corner") but originally titled "Hombre de las orillas" ("Man from the Slums" or more literally "Man from the Outskirts"), Francisco Bustos being the name of "one forefather's forefather".
He changed his first initial and acquired a second surname (which in Argentina connotes either "old money" or simply, as in the rest of Latin America, the mother's maiden name) as Borges and Bioy Casares later used the pseudonym "H. Bustos Domecq" for some of their lighter works. According to Borges, Bustos was the name of one of his great-grandfathers, while Domecq was the name of one of Bioy's great-grandfathers.
==Works==
H. Bustos Domecq was the original credited author of the parodic detective stories in Seis problemas para don Isidro Parodi, 1942 (translated 1981 as Six Problems for Don Isidro Parodi) and Dos fantasías memorables, 1946 (Two noteworthy fantasies).
Bustos was also the alleged author of Crónicas de Bustos Domecq, 1967, (translated 1976 as Chronicles of Bustos Domecq), and Nuevos Cuentos de Bustos Domecq (1977), even though the authors' actual names were featured on the covers of both books.
Under another pseudonym, "Benito Suárez Lynch" (both surnames were taken from the authors' illustrious ancestors), Borges and Bioy published the parodic mystery Un modelo para la muerte (A model for death) in 1946, featuring the characters of the Isidro Parodi stories.
The pair also did some collaborations without the use of the pseudonym, notably two movie scripts from 1955: Los orilleros (Slum-dwellers) and El paraíso de los creyentes (The Paradise of Believers). Both dealt with the exacerbated sense of manhood among the compadritos in the slums of Buenos Aires circa 1900.
The Bustos Domecq materials provided comic relief for cultivated Latin Americans, but also, famously, conveyed a subtle yet unambiguous pro-allied message in the 1942 edition of Parodi – which was not a surprise for people who knew the authors but was, nevertheless, a contrarian statement given the state of Argentine politics at the time.
Note: The Isidro Parodi appears as Isidoro in some editions.
==Influence==
According to Emir Rodríguez Monegal in his April 1968 article "Nota sobre Biorges", when Adolfo Bioy Casares and Jorge Luis Borges collaborated under the pseudonyms H. Bustos Domecq or B. Suárez Lynch, the results seemed written by a new personality, more than the sum of its parts, which he dubbed "Biorges" and considered in his own right as "one of the most important Argentine prose writers of his time", for having influenced writers such as Leopoldo Marechal (an otherwise anti-Borgesian), or Julio Cortázar's use of fictional language and slang in his masterpiece Hopscotch.

22,364,172 | The Cohens and Kellys is a 1926 silent comedy film directed by Harry A. Pollard and starring Charles Murray, George Sidney, Kate Price and Jason Robards Sr. The film is the first of the Cohens and Kellys film serials. The film is perhaps best known today as the subject of Nichols v. Universal Pictures Corp., a copyright infringement case, in which Judge Learned Hand articulated the doctrine that copyright protection does not cover the characteristics of stock characters in a story.
==Plot==
As articulated in the Nichols case,
The characters were similar to those in the Nichols play, Abie's Irish Rose which was made into a film in 1928 and in 1946.
==Cast==
Charles Murray - Patrick Kelly
George Sidney - Jacob Cohen
Vera Gordon - Mrs. Cohen
Kate Price - Mrs. Kelly
Jason Robards Sr. - Tim Kelly
Olive Hasbrouck - Nannie Cohen
Nat Carr - Milton J. Katz
Robert Gordon - Sammy Cohen
Mickey Bennett - Terence Kelly
==Preservation status==
In addition to a worn Universal Show-at-Home copy(see silentera.com), the film exists in two film archives Cinematheque Royale de Belgique(Brussels) and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
==Related films==
The Cohens and Kellys was the first in a series of films featuring characters from the Cohen and Kelly families. It was followed by The Cohens and the Kellys in Paris (1928), The Cohens and Kellys in Atlantic City (1929), The Cohens and the Kellys in Scotland (1930), The Cohens and the Kellys in Africa (1930), and The Cohens and Kellys in Trouble (1933).
It was an early production of Edward Small.

830,002 | A hook is a musical idea, often a short riff, passage, or phrase, that is used in popular music to make a song appealing and to "catch the ear of the listener". The term generally applies to popular music, especially rock music, R&B, , dance music, and pop. In these genres, the hook is often found in, or consists of, the chorus. A hook can be either melodic or rhythmic, and often incorporates the main motif for a piece of music. "The hook is a phrase or word that literally hooks, or grabs, the listener and draws them into the song." Examples of songs with hooks include The Beatles's "Day Tripper" (opening guitar line), Michael Jackson's "Beat It", Willie Nelson's "Crazy", and most Hip Hop/Rap songs.
==Definitions==
One definition of a hook is "a musical or lyrical phrase that stands out and is easily remembered." Definitions typically include some of the following: that a hook is repetitive, attention-grabbing, memorable, easy to dance to, and has commercial potential and lyrics. A hook has been defined as a "part of a song, sometimes the title or key lyric line, that keeps recurring." Alternatively, the term has been defined as
While some melodic hooks include skips of an eighth or more to make the line more interesting, a hook can be equally catchy by employing rhythmic syncopation or other devices. A hook may also garner attention from listeners from other factors, such as the vocal timbre or instrumentation, as in the case of the Beach Boys' use of an Electro-Theremin in "Good Vibrations". Some hooks become popular without using any unusual elements. For example, in the song "Be My Baby", performed by The Ronettes, the hook consists of the words "be my baby" over the conventional I-vi-IV-V chord progression of the chorus. Hooks in hip hop almost always refer to the chorus between verses; as in the lyrics to "Ice Ice Baby", "check out the hook, while my DJ revolves it", that lead into the chorus itself.
==Use in market research==
The hooks of songs may be used in market research to assist in gauging the popularity of a song by the recognizability of its hook. Often radio stations conduct "call out" either on the Internet, via telephone, or a music test (either online or in an in-person setting) to conduct surveys. Stations may use the services of a professional "hook service" or prepare the materials themselves. Hooks used are typically 8-12 bars long. Some groups release these research hooks on a single's CD release.
==Scientific research==
A European consortium (including Utrecht University and the University of Amsterdam) studies the hook by using online games and the wisdom of the crowd to understand and quantify the effect of catchiness on musical memory.

33,806,603 | Freaks, Geeks, and Asperger Syndrome: A User Guide to Adolescence is a non-fiction book about how it is like having Asperger Syndrome. The book was written by the then 13-year-old Luke Jackson who has Asperger Syndrome himself. Luke wrote the book because he thought that there were not enough useful things on the internet about the subject.
The point of the book is to explain that it is fine to be different. Luke goes through the problems that people with Asperger Syndrome face such as trouble reading facial expressions and body language. Luke Jackson lives in a family with three brothers and three sisters and his siblings have related difficulties as well.
==Reception==
David Worling of the Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry said that the book is filled with valuable information and is useful to have in a clinical library.
The book received first place in Times Educational Supplement awards in 2003 for special educational needs books.
