message: I removed all references to AFWA (KGWC) providing Dvorak fixes on tropical cyclones.  I work there and know they no longer provide fixes.  This was mentioned in the 2007 National Hurricane Operations Plan.  Also, in the 2007 Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology Action Items list, Point #12, it said the following:
"Due to recent personnel and funding cuts, the Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA) can no longer dedicate the resources needed to sustain tropical cyclone satellite imagery surveillance and analysis support to the National Hurricane Operations Plan. This cessation of support requires changes in the NHOP to reflect the AFWA termination but continuance of support on request, resources permitting, by the 17th Operational Weather Squadron Meteorological Satellite Operations (SATOPS) Flight (17 OWS/WXJ), Joint Typhoon Warning Center, Pearl Harbor, HI to the Central Pacific Hurricane Center.)

replies: text:  I think it is necessary; there are two general threads in the literature. One is a relatively traditional view that French forces attacked simply without caring for enemy strengths and dispositions. The other is a newer view that French forces simply did not know that the enemy were so close to their mustering locations. The former implies something of superhuman bravery. The latter implies incompetence. The source I quoted from talks on that difference shortly. Ifly6 (talk) 06:12, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Henry Stuart, Duke of Gloucester

message: Henry of Gloucester is one of the more fascinating "what ifs" of history.  According to the not--always-reliable Bishop Burnet:
“He was active, and loved business; was apt to have particular friendships, and had an insinuating temper which was generally very acceptable. The King loved him much better than the Duke of York.”
He does seem to have been a rather stout-hearted young man who remained a staunch Protestant in the face of his mother's severe disapproval.  If he had not died of smallpox weeks after the Restoration, he would likely have become the rallying point for the anti-James faction (rether than William of Orange).  Subsequent British history might have been very different.
I am not putting any of this in the actual article because I have no exact references at this point. Cranston Lamont 03:47, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

As I visualize it, he ran out the back after the Japs and got killed like they did, by his own men.  If that's the case, the Article should say so explicitly.  Or say he wasn't explicitly.  Or say that it's not known for certain, explicitly.68.206.248.178 (talk) 19:25, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Cellular homology

message: This page is very nice and clean. Can someone add details about the boundary map in the homology sequence?
Also, a particularly nice example is given (\mathbb CP^n), yet I believe even knowning the cellular decomposition of many higher dimensional CW complexes does not allow one necessarily to compute the homology. Anyone know more about this? MotherFunctor 04:01, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends on what you mean be knowing.  As long as you know all the relevant degrees associated to the cellular attaching maps, you can compute the homology.  This article is missing the relevant details but they're in the standard textbooks like Hatcher and Spanier. Rybu (talk) 20:23, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

--TrentonFSchirmer (talk) 01:44, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Details?

message: When it says,
: X_{n-1}/(X_{n-1}-e_{n-1}^{\beta})\cong S^{n-1}
doesn't that depend (in homology) on a chosen orientation of the source? So, a choice is required and that choice affects the degree entering the boundary map. So, the resulting homology would be affected. Is the definition only for oriented CW-complexes? If not, why does a set of choices of these isomorphisms with spheres not affect the resulting homology of the complex? Or does it?
It would be great if someone could clarify this. I couldn't find answer in Hatcher's book either. Thanks.
Wurzel33 (talk) 13:52, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The cells of a CW-complex come equipped with more than an orientation, they have characteristic maps which give an explicit parametrization of them.  Under the homotopy-equivalence to the wedge of spheres you mention, the characteristic maps induce canonical orientations on the spheres (or equivalently one takes the homotopy-equivalences to preserve orientation with the standard orientation of the sphere).  Rybu (talk) 15:27, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

text: I see, thanks. So, the cells are naturally oriented, and that leaves no room for ambiguity, and the characteristic map dictates already canonically such maps to the spheres on the level of sets, not only homotopy. My confusion came from considering CW-complexes with a group action: When one says, G-CW-complex for a group G, does one automatically assume that the group action intertwines the characteristic maps? Given your answer, probably yes. (However, I see that this point is not related to the page anymore, since it does not speak about the equivariant version.)
