Talk:Garvey's Ghost

message: Despite the title of the album, the sentence about the word dub in this context being derived from duppy (a more common spelling than the "duppie" used here) doesn't belong here in an article about an individual dub album, the same reference is also in the article on Dub Music, where it probably needs to be qualified because it's almost certainly nonsense. The connection is extremely speculative and any connection between "duppy" (as opposed to "ghost") and "dub" (which isn't explicit anywhere in the record or its packaging) would almost certainly long post-date the use of "dub" to describe this kind of mixing. There are much more convincing explanations that it came from "running off a dub" onto an acetate. For instance Steve Barrow quotes producer Bunny Lee thus: "Yeah...it was really VERSION those days - it wasn't dub yet, beca' it was jus' the riddim. One day a incident: Ruddy's (sound system operator Ruddy Redwood) was cutting a dub, an' when it start Smithy (studio engineer Byron Smith) look like 'im start bring on the voice and Ruddy's say: no, mek it run and 'im take the whole backing track off it. 'Im say, alright, run it again, and put in the voice..."Steve Barrow, sleeve notes of "Dub Gone Crazy", Blood And Fire Records, BAFCD 002, February 1994 
In other words, they were already using the word dub in the late 1960s for cutting an acetate of a song stripped down to its backing track, for exclusive use on a sound system and it simply stuck when the likes of King Tubby started using more creative mixing techniques for such versions. These acetates are also called "dub plates" and they aren't by any means always "dub" in the sense of creative mixing with echo etc., which kind of negates the "ghost" aspect. So I'm removing that sentence.Freewheeling frankie (talk) 12:44, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

I was a returning student over ten years older than him and he acted as if our age difference, or cultural differences didn't exhist. I was so impressed with him as a student. I found out Anthony was taking 15 credits over the summer so he could graduate and start grad school for his senior year of football eligibility. I am not surprised Anthony is having success in the NFL. I have seen his work ethic and his outstanding way of conducting himself. It is good to see a man succeed all while doing things the right way. Anthony Henry is that guy. I hope when he retires he considers teaching or even running for office.

text: The first clear general statements on whether the variational principle found minima or other extrema (e.g. a saddle point) were given by Marston Morse in the 1920s and 1930s, leading to what is now known as Morse theory. For example, Morse showed that the number of conjugate points in a trajectory equaled the number of negative eigenvalues in the second variation of the Lagrangian.

message: Now that this article is better shape, I was looking at History of classical mechanics. It is short and almost nothing on the era that matters, beginning with Euler, Lagrange and Hamilton. Newton is handled better on other pages.
I wonder if we would have a stronger result if we combined these in to a single "History of classical mechanics".
Pro: 
* One article to monitor/fix/improve.
* The classical mechanics history would include Lagrange, Hamilton, and friends.
* The seemingly obscure variational principle topics would be more visible?
Con: 
* The narrative of the variational history would be lost or obscured in a chronological setting. We could try threading the narrative through the items, eg "This work on action principles was followed up by Hamilton, see #...".
* actual work needed.

replies: text: I have mixed feelings about it. I am (weakly) inclined to say that the merge would certainly benefit the classical mechanics article. It is very unusual to have this very specific article about history of variational principles when we do not have history articles for some major branches of physics (like condensed matter or cosmology). On the other hand, clearly the relativistic and quantum mechanical action principles should not be discussed in a classical mechanics article.--ReyHahn (talk) 09:02, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
