==Parallel LINQ==
{{see also|Language Integrated Query}}
'''Parallel LINQ''' ('''PLINQ''') is a concurrent query execution engine for [[Language Integrated Query|LINQ]], parallelizing the execution of queries on objects (LINQ to Objects) and XML data (LINQ to XML). PLINQ is intended for exposing [[data parallelism]] by use of queries.<ref name="channel9"/> Any computation on objects that has been implemented as queries can be parallelized by PLINQ. However, the objects need to implement the <code>IParallelEnumerable</code> interface, which is defined by PLINQ itself. Internally it uses [[#Task Parallel Library|TPL]] for execution.<ref name="somajune">{{cite web | url = http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2008/06/02/june-2008-ctp-parallel-extensions-to-the-net-fx.aspx | title = June 2008 CTP - Parallel Extensions to the .NET FX | accessdate = 2008-08-06}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://blogs.msdn.com/pfxteam/archive/2008/06/05/8576194.aspx | title = More powerful aggregations in PLINQ | accessdate = 2008-08-06}}</ref>

==Task Parallel Library==
The '''Task Parallel Library''' ('''TPL''') is the [[task parallelism]] component of the Parallel Extensions to .NET.<ref name="Concurrent Programming on Windows Appendix B"/> It exposes parallel constructs like parallel <code>For</code> and <code>ForEach</code> loops, using regular method calls and [[Delegate (.NET)|delegates]]. As such, the constructs can be used from any language supporting the [[.NET Framework]]. The job of spawning and terminating [[Thread (computing)|threads]], as well as scaling the number of threads according to the number of available processors, is done by the library itself.<ref name="msdnmag"/>

TPL also includes other constructs such as ''Task'' and ''[[Future (programming)|Future]]''. A ''Task'' is an action that can be executed independent of the rest of the program. In that sense, it is semantically equivalent to a thread, except that it is a more light-weight object and comes without the overhead of creating an OS thread. Tasks are queued by a ''Task Manager'' object and are scheduled to run on multiple OS threads in a [[thread pool pattern|thread pool]] when their turn comes.

''Future'' is a task that returns a result. The result is computed in a background thread encapsulated by the ''Future'' object, and the result is buffered until it is retrieved.<ref name="msdnmag"/> If an attempt is made to retrieve the result before it has been computed then the asking thread will block until the result is available.<ref name="Concurrent_Programming_on_Windows_Appendix_B">{{cite book | first=Joe | last=Duffy | year=2009 | title=Concurrent Programming on Windows | isbn="032143482X" | pages="887-929" }}</ref>

==Architecture==
The main concept in the Parallel Extensions to .NET is a <code>Task</code>, which is a small unit of code, usually represented as a [[Lambda expression|lambda function]], that can be executed independently. Both PLINQ and the TPL API provides methods to create the Tasks - PLINQ divides a query into smaller Tasks, and the <code>Parallel.For</code>, <code>Parallel.ForEach</code> and <code>Parallel.Invoke</code> methods divide a loop into Tasks.

PFX includes a <code>Task Manager</code> object which schedules the Tasks for execution. A Task Manager contains a global [[queue (data structure)|queue]] of Tasks, which are then executed. In addition, it also encapsulates multiple [[Thread (computing)|threads]] onto which the Tasks are executed. By default, as many threads as there are processors (or processor cores) on the system are created, though this number may be manually modified. Each thread is associated with a thread-specific queue of Tasks. Each thread, when idle, picks up a batch of Tasks, and puts on its local queue, and then executes them one by one. If the global queue is empty, a thread will look for Tasks in the queues of its peers, and will take the Tasks which have been in the queue the longest (''task stealing''). When in execution, the Tasks will be executed independently, with the change in state of one Task independent of others. As a result, if they use a shared resource, they still need to be synchronized manually using locks or other constructs.

Drools

'''Drools''' is a [[business rule management system]] (BRMS) with a [[forward chaining]] [[inference]] based [[rules engine]], more correctly known as a [[production rule system]], using an enhanced implementation of the [[Rete algorithm]].

Drools is based on the [[JSR-94]] standard for its [[business rule]] engine and enterprise framework for the construction, maintenance, and enforcement of business policies in an organization, application, or service.

== History ==
The Drools Project was started by Bob McWhirter in 2001 and registered at [[SourceForge]]. Drools 1.0 was never released as the limitations of a [[Brute-force search|brute force linear search]] approach were soon realised and work started on Drools 2.0, which was loosely based on the [[Rete algorithm]], and the project was moved to [[Codehaus]]. During the 2.0 development cycle at Codehaus Mark Proctor became the project lead and moved the project to a final 2.0 release. At this point the project had become the leading [[Java (language)|Java]] [[open source]] rule engine with a strong community and demand had started for commercial services. In October 2005 Drools was federated into [[JBoss]] as part of their JEMS offering and rebranded ''JBoss Rules''. In 2006 JBoss itself was acquired by [[Red Hat]]. With financial backing from JBoss the JBoss Rules rewrite was possible with a full and enhanced Rete implementation with GUI tooling. Mid 2007 the Drools name was reclaimed since after two years people were still predominantly calling it Drools and having to refer to it as "Drools aka JBoss Rules", or "Drools (JBoss Rules)" was confusing. For the meantime the product is still also called JBoss Rules.

The current version of JBoss Rules is 4.0.7, which is not backwards compatible with previous versions.

== Drools 5 ==

Drools version 5.0 was released on May 19, 2009. The main goals of this version is to address [[Complex Event Processing (CEP)|CEP]] and separate concerns.<ref name="GAnew">[http://downloads.jboss.com/drools/docs/5.0.1.26597.FINAL/drools-introduction/html_single/index.html#d0e26 What is new in Drools 5.0]</ref>

==Technology==

Drools is a [[rules engine]] implementation based on [[Charles Forgy]]'s [[Rete algorithm]] tailored for the Java language. Adapting Rete to an [[object-oriented]] interface allows for more natural expression of business rules with regards to business objects. Drools is written in [[Java (language)|Java]], but able to run on Java and [[.NET Framework|.NET]].

Drools is designed to allow pluggeable language implementations. Currently rules can be written in [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[MVEL]], [[Python (programming language)|Python]] and [[Groovy (programming language)|Groovy]]. Drools also provides for [[declarative programming]] and is flexible enough to match the semantics of the problem domain with [[domain specific language]]s (DSL) via [[XML]] using a schema defined for the problem domain. DSLs consist of XML elements and attributes that represent the problem domain.

==JBoss Rules==

'''JBoss Rules''' is a [[reasoning engine]] that includes a forward chaining rule engine based on Drools. '''JBoss Rules''' is the productised version of '''Drools'''; this means it comes with support that will last several years for that particular branch, with bug and essential feature back ports. For a time the Drools name was dropped in an attempt to fully establish the JBoss Rules brand as both the project and the product; however, two years later, the community was mostly still calling it Drools, so the name was reclaimed by the community for the project. The product name remains '''JBoss Rules'''.

'''The Receiving End of Sirens''' (often abbreviated '''TREOS''') was a rock band from [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]], formed in 2003.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.absolutepunk.net/artists/showlink.php?do=showdetails&l=2682|title=Profile on AbsolutePunk.net|accessdate=September 12|accessyear=2008}}</ref>

==Overview==

The band played on the 2005 [[Warped Tour]] and has toured with such acts as [[Gatsbys American Dream]], [[A Wilhelm Scream]], [[30 Seconds to Mars]], [[Funeral for a Friend]], [[Saves the Day]], [[Senses Fail]], [[Thrice]], and [[New Found Glory]]. The band's first headlining tour, "The New Hope Tour," began on March 31, 2006. About a week before the start of the tour, guitarist/vocalist Alex fell down a flight of stairs and broke his scapula and two ribs and punctured his lung. A question of whether or not he would be able to perform arose, yet he pulled through. Some bands supporting the band on their first headlining tour were [[As Tall as Lions]], [[A Thorn for Every Heart]], [[Hit the Lights]] and [[I Am the Avalanche]].

On March 18, 2008 the band announced that it would "no longer exist in the way it has for the past 5 years" on their [[MySpace]] page. The main reason for the break up was the fact that Brendan had a child in January, and he decided he needed to reassess his priorities. In a MySpace bulletin he claimed that all of the members still keep a passion for music and the love for their fans. The band played two of their last three last shows at Lupo's in Providence, Rhode Island on May 2, supported by [[Envy on the Coast]] and [[Therefore I Am]], and The Bamboozle Festival in East Rutherford, New Jersey on May 4. On May 5, a final farewell was performed under the pseudonym The Red Eye of Soromon at Harper's Ferry in Allston, Massachusetts.

==Name==
According to drummer Andrew Cook:
<blockquote>"I was a cook at a place called McCarthy's Pub in Massachusetts. A bunch of police cars and ambulances went screaming by and the name popped in my head. Like, thinking about how people never really think what's 'on the receiving end of sirens,' because its such a common thing just to hear the sirens. Especially if you live in a city, it just becomes this commonplace thing, nobody thinks twice about it anymore. Even though there's so much awful stuff going on in the world, and horrible things that happen to people, it's kind of like 'out of sight, out of mind.' It's just kind of a sad thing. So it's kind of a commentary on that. It also works on a couple levels. It can be taken as the Greek mythology example with the Sirens that lure sailors in with their singing, so being on the receiving end of those sirens isn't a great thing. It works both ways."<ref>[http://www.heartsandsleeves.com/html/the_receiving_end_of_sirens.html The Receiving End Of Sirens]</ref></blockquote>

The band has also been known to perform under the pseudonym The Red Eye of Soromon [''sic''], or if abbreviated, TREOS. The band plays under the name The Red Eye of Soromon, presumably, to avoid record label contract issues when playing local venues in Massachusetts. The most recent performance under the pseudonym was on [http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=209012 May 5, 2008].

==History==
The band formed in 2003, and their original lineup consisted of Brendan Brown, Alex Bars, Andrew Cook, Nate Patterson, and Ben Potrykus, formerly of Massachusetts pop-punk band Fake-ID. With this lineup they recorded two demos with a total of 5 songs, including two versions of "The Race", and gained a small, but loyal, following throughout New England. After a conflict of interest involving the future of the band and their signing with a record label, Ben left the band. They played their last show with this lineup on November 8, 2003 in Fitchburg, MA.

After almost 6 months on hiatus the band came back to life with their new member [[Casey Crescenzo]]. They played their first show with the new lineup on April 20, 2004 in Amherst, MA. Their new lineup featured three-tiered vocals split by Casey, Alex, and Brendan, and the addition of keyboards and synth. At this time they also released their self-titled 5 song EP and a year later in April 2005 their long awaited full-length ''Between the Heart and the Synapse'' was released to the world.

After a year of almost non-stop touring, [[Casey Crescenzo]] parted ways with the band in May of 2006 and started pursuing his side project, [[The Dear Hunter]], full-time. After Casey's departure, long time friend of the band Ross filled in on guitar during their tour with Circa Survive and most notably at radio station WFNX "Disorientation" free concert in Boston featuring TREOS and Taking Back Sunday.

On November 6, 2006 the band announced their new permanent member as Brian Southall (formerly the drummer of [[Boys Night Out (band)|Boys Night Out]]). He plays guitar, keys, and backup vocals.

The band had arranged to stream a live concert from Vintage Vinyl Record Store in New Jersey on the new real-time entertainment site www.Yebotv.com on August 9, 2007.

On March 18, 2008 Brendan Brown announced via a [[MySpace]] bulletin that because of his new priorities (having a baby), the band is coming to an end.
<blockquote>
I, Brendan, must admit that I am the main reason why TREOS is ending. My choice to no longer continue on with The Receiving End of Sirens has nothing to do with a lack of love for my band, and/or band members. It has nothing to do with a lack of passion for our music, or any music for that matter. My decision is due mostly in part to a huge rearranging of priorities in my life, and the unquestionable responsibility that comes along with becoming a father. January 15 my
wife and I welcomed Parker Brown, our first child, into the world. Since then everything has changed. The happiness and joy I gained from being part of this band can't ever be taken away from me, but to be honest, I have lived a long time thinking that specific joy was as good as it got. Since Parker's birth I have realized my joy is a great thing, in and of itself, but the happiness I receive from his happiness is exponentially greater than anything I could muster on my own. The thought of leaving him to tour for months at a time is something I just can't stomach. I can't
stand to miss another thing. I realize how important I am to my band, and how important our band is to some people, but I am far more elemental in the growth and happiness of my child, than I am anything else in this world.
</blockquote>

On Friday May 2, 2008 the band played its farewell show with Envy on the Coast and Therefore I Am. [[Casey Crescenzo]] made a return halfway through the set. TREOS performed virtually all of their tracks, forcing them to repeat Planning a Prison Break as their [[encore (concert)|encore]]. Absolute punk made a statement about their final show:

<blockquote>
Casey Crescenzo played with The Receiving End of Sirens last night at their final headlining show in Providence, Rhode Island. They played 21 songs (technically 22 because the crowd got them to play "Planning a Prison Break" twice) - almost every track spanning their three CD discography. A fan (Brandon) also proposed to his girlfriend on stage during the set & they are now engaged! It was truly an eve of magic & delight. The band will be greatly missed by their fans, and we wish them each the best of luck in the future!
</blockquote>

The band also played [[The Bamboozle]] on May 4, 2008 and performed their final show as The Red Eye of Soromon in Allston, MA on May 5, 2008, where they played all of ''Between the Heart and the Synapse'' in order from start to finish, with Casey, followed by an encore set.

The band recorded their farewell show at Lupo's on May 2, 2008, however, there has been no announcement stating a release date. Along with concert footage, the DVD will contain never-before-seen interviews, as well as backstage footage from many of the band's tours. The live concert footage will span twenty-two songs and will feature Casey Crescenzo for the latter half of the performance.

Since the breakup of The Receiving End of Sirens Brian Southall has begun working on a new project titled The Company We Keep.
On November 25, 2008, the band posted a video of "Planning a Prison Break" live from their May 2 show. This hints that a DVD may be officially announced in the near future.

On June 6, 2009, the first news pointing towards a closer release date was found at absolutepunk, where TREOS asked for fans to send in pictures of them with the band.

FatalError: spacing

The '''Global Poverty''' Project is an educational program that is aims to aid poverty through a series of presentations around the world. Supporting the eight [[Millennium Goals]] set out in 2000, the project aims to raise awareness toward the topic of poverty and facilitate change through their motto “catalyzing the movement to end extreme poverty.” <ref>http://www.globalpovertyproject.com/index.php</ref>

== History ==
The '''Global Poverty Project''' was created by [[Hugh Evans]] (founder of the [[Oaktree Foundation]], Australian leader of the[[ Make Poverty History campaign]]) and community education expert Simon Moss. Launching in Australia in July 2009, the organization also has teams in the United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa and Mexico.

== Vision ==
192 [[United Nations]] members and approximately 23 international leaders have set out eight international development goals to be achieved by 2015. They include targeting the eradication of poverty, achieving universal primary education, improving maternal health and combating [[HIV/AIDS]]. The Project supports the millenium goals and is an attempt to address the needs of the 1.4 billion people who live in extreme poverty<ref>http://www.globalpovertyproject.com/index.php</ref>. Their vision is communicated through a slideshow and presentation that is currently travelling throughout Australia.

== Action ==
In their "groundbreaking presentation"<ref>http://www.hughevans.com.au/press?id=45</ref>, the global poverty project shows what extreme poverty is, why it can be eliminated and what people can do in response to it. The Global Poverty Project will “arm individuals with the tools, knowledge and inspiration to influence governments and take action through the presentation and local campaign partners”.<ref>http://www.hughevans.com.au/press?id=45</ref>

== Supporters ==
The Global Poverty Project is supported by an advisory panel that include Austalian actor [[Hugh Jackman]]<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckhD5NksrLI</ref>, producer of movie [[An inconvenient truth]] Chris Adams and director of Scorpio music Rebekah Cambell.

FatalError: /* Storage efficiency vs. Random Access */

{{Unreferenced|date=October 2008}}

A '''column-oriented DBMS''' is a [[database management system]] (DBMS) which stores its content by column rather than by row. This has advantages for databases such as [[data warehouse]]s and library catalogues, where aggregates are computed over large numbers of similar data items.
<ref name="C-Store">[http://db.lcs.mit.edu/projects/cstore/vldb.pdf C-Store: A column-oriented DBMS], Stonebraker et al., Proceedings of the 31st VLDB Conference, Trondheim, Norway, 2005</ref> This approach is contrasted with '''row-oriented''' databases and with [[correlation database]]s, which use a value-based storage structure.

==Description==
Simplified greatly, DBMS systems are challenged with storing tabular data made up of rows and columns. Further, the set of columns is generally fixed by program design, while the number of rows is variable through use of the program. In one simple example, DBMS data might contain the following table.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! EmpId
! Lastname
! Firstname
! Salary
|-
| 1
| Smith
| Joe
| 40000
|-
| 2
| Jones
| Mary
| 50000
|-
| 3
| Johnson
| Cathy
| 44000
|}

This simple table includes an employee identifier (EmpId), name fields (Lastname and Firstname) and a salary (Salary).

Modern computer systems simplify the details of underlying storage down to a one-dimensional storage space, using a single numerical address to refer to a location. This is true for [[random access memory]], [[hard disk drives]], and most other computer storage media. DBMS systems therefore must orient their data by flattening it onto a one-dimensional address space. Combine the common expectation for a fixed number of columns and a variable number of rows with the mapping from two dimensions to one, and we arrive at a column or row oriented classification.

A row-oriented implementation of a DBMS would store every attribute of a given row in sequence, with the last entry of one row followed by the first entry of the next.

1,Smith,Joe,40000;2,Jones,Mary,50000;3,Johnson,Cathy,44000;

A column-oriented implementation of a DBMS would store every attribute of a given column in sequence, with the column values for the same column stored in sequence, with the end of one column followed by the beginning of the next.

1,2,3;Smith,Jones,Johnson;Joe,Mary,Cathy;40000,50000,44000;

It is important to recognize that modern DBMS are not so simply column-oriented or row-oriented as in the simple example above, since [[Partition (database)|partitioning]], [[Index (database)|indexing]], caching, materializing views, [[OLAP cube]]s, and transactional systems such as [[write ahead logging]] or [[multiversion concurrency control]] all dramatically affect physical organization of DBMS data. That said, [[online transaction processing]] (OLTP)-focused RDBMS systems are more row-oriented, while [[online analytical processing]] (OLAP)-focused systems are a balance of row-oriented and column-oriented.

== Benefits ==

Comparisons between row-oriented and column-oriented systems are typically concerned with the efficiency of hard-disk access for a given workload, as [[seek time]] is incredibly long compared to the other delays in computers. Further, because seek time is improving at a slow rate relative to CPU power (see [[Moore's Law]]), this focus will likely continue on systems reliant on hard-disks for storage. Following is a set of over-simplified observations which attempt to paint a picture of the trade-offs between column and row oriented organizations.

# Column-oriented systems are more efficient when an aggregate needs to be computed over many rows but only for a notably smaller subset of all columns of data, because reading that smaller subset of data can be faster than reading all data.
# Column-oriented systems are more efficient when new values of a column are supplied for all rows at once, because that column data can be written efficiently and replace old column data without touching any other columns for the rows.
# Row-oriented systems are more efficient when many columns of a single row are required at the same time, and when row-size is relatively small, as the entire row can be retrieved with a single disk seek.
# Row-oriented systems are more efficient when writing a new row if all of the column data is supplied at the same time, as the entire row can be written with a single disk seek.

In practice, row oriented architectures are well-suited for [[OLTP]]-like workloads which are more heavily loaded with interactive transactions. Column stores are well-suited for [[OLAP]]-like workloads (e.g., [[data warehouse]]s) which typically involve a smaller number of highly complex queries over all data (possibly [[terabyte]]s).

=== Storage efficiency vs. random access ===

Column data is of uniform type; therefore, there are some opportunities for storage size optimizations available in column-oriented data that are not available in row oriented data. For example, many popular modern compression schemes, such as [[Lempel-Ziv-Welch|LZW]], make use of the similarity of adjacent data to compress. While the same techniques may be used on row-oriented data, a typical implementation will achieve less effective results. Further, this behavior becomes more dramatic when a large percentage of adjacent column data is either the same or not-present, such as in a sparse column (similar to a [[sparse matrix]]). The opposing tradeoff is Random Access. Retrieving all data from a single row is more efficient when that data is located in a single location, such as in a row-oriented architecture. Further, the greater adjacent compression achieved, the more difficult random-access may become, as data might need to be uncompressed to be read. Therefore, column-oriented architectures are sometimes enriched by additional mechanisms aimed at minimizing the need of access to compressed data<ref name="Infobright">[http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/1/1454174.pdf Brighthouse: an analytic data warehouse for ad-hoc queries], Slezak et al., Proceedings of the 34th VLDB Conference, Auckland, New Zealand, 2008</ref>.

==Implementations==

For many years, only the [[Sybase IQ]] product was commonly available in the column-oriented DBMS class. However, that has changed rapidly in the last few years with many open source and commercial implementations.

Haml

FatalError: /* Example */ +syntax highlighting

'''Haml''' ([[XHTML]] Abstraction Markup Language) is a markup language that is used to cleanly and simply describe the [[XHTML]] of any [[web document]] without the use of traditional inline coding. It’s designed to address many of the flaws in traditional templating engines, as well as making markup as elegant as it can be. Haml functions as a replacement for inline page templating systems such as [[PHP]], [[RHTML]], and [[ASP]]. However, Haml avoids the need for explicitly coding XHTML into the template, because it is itself a description of the XHTML, with some code to generate dynamic content.

Haml's equivalent for [[CSS]] is [[Sass (markup language)|Sass]], which comes with Haml.

==Principles==
; Markup should be beautiful
: Markup should not be used merely as a tool to get browsers to render a page the way its author wants it rendered. The rendering isn't the only thing people have to see; they have to see, modify, and understand the markup as well. Thus, the markup should be just as user-friendly and pleasant as the rendered result.
; Markup should be [[DRY]]
: XHTML involves major repetition. Most elements have to be named twice: once before its content and once after. [[eRuby|ERB]] adds even more repetition and unnecessary characters. Haml avoids all of this by relying on indentation, not text, to determine where elements and blocks of code begin and end. Not only does this result in smaller templates, it makes the code much cleaner to look at.
; Markup should be well-indented
: One of the major problems with traditional templating languages is that not only do they not encourage well-indented code, they actively make it challenging, or even impossible, to write. The result is confusing, unreadable XHTML. Haml formats tags so they are well indented and reflect the underlying structure of the document.
; XHTML structure should be clear
: XML and XHTML are formats built upon the idea of a structured document. That structure is reflected in their markup, and it should likewise be reflected in meta-markup such as Haml. Because Haml's logic is based on indentation of child elements, this structure is naturally preserved, making the document much easier and more logical for mere humans to read.

==Disadvantages==

* Haml is "whitespace active", and relies on consistent spacing for each indent level. Tabs or spaces must be maintained consistently throughout the document.
* There are no [[WYSIWYG]] Haml editors, whereas there are many XHTML and HTML editors. However, the growing community of Haml users has released syntax bundle addons to many popular programming [[Integrated development environment|IDE]]s, such as [[Eclipse (software)|Eclipse]] (which includes the spinoff IDEs [[RadRails]] and [[Aptana]]), [[jEdit]], [[NetBeans]], and editors like [[TextMate]] and [[Vim (text editor)|vim]]. This allows developers to edit Haml in an environment that is aware of the indenting rules and syntax.

==Example==
Note: This is a simple preview example and may not reflect the current version of the language.

<pre>
!!!
%html{ :xmlns => "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml", :lang => "en", 'xml:lang' => "en" }
%head
%title BoBlog
%meta{ 'http-equiv' => 'Content-Type', :content => 'text/html; charset=utf-8' }/
= stylesheet_link_tag 'main'
%body
#header

%h3.title= entry.title
%p.date= entry.posted.strftime("%A, %B %d, %Y")
%p.body= entry.body
#footer
%p
All content copyright © Bob
</pre>

The above Haml would produce this XHTML:
<source lang="html4strict">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

==Implementations==

The official implementation of Haml has been built for [[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]] with plugins for [[Ruby on Rails]] and [[Merb]], but the Ruby implementation also functions independently.

There are also implementations in other languages:

* [http://phphaml.sourceforge.net phpHaml (PHP5)]
* [http://phammable.org Phammable (PHP5)]
* [[pHAML]] (PHP)
* [http://ghrml.org GHRML (Python)]
* [http://andrewpeters.net/2007/12/19/introducing-nhaml-an-aspnet-mvc-view-engine/ NHaml (.NET)]
* [http://weblogs.asp.net/mirvodasergey/archive/2008/06/02/introducing-monorail-nhaml.aspx MonoRail NHaml (ASP.NET)]

==Development==

Haml was invented in May 2006 by [[Hampton Catlin]], who continues to work on the implementation and the ideals behind Haml. However, [[Nathan Weizenbaum]] is responsible for much of the recent growth and maturation of the Haml codebase.

FatalError: /* erubis */

{{lowercase}}
'''eRuby''' is a templating system that embeds [[Ruby programming language|Ruby]] into a text document. It is often used to embed Ruby code in an [[HTML]] document, similar to [[Active Server Pages|ASP]], [[JavaServer Pages|JSP]] and [[PHP]].

==Usage==
eRuby allows Ruby code to be embedded within a pair of <code><%</code> and <code>%></code> delimiters. These embedded code blocks are then evaluated in-place (they are replaced by the result of their evaluation).

Here are a few examples of eRuby usage:

'''One line of Ruby'''
<pre><% ruby code %></pre>

Output like hello from <code><% print "hello" %></code> would replace the ruby code between the delimiters.

Alternatively, lines starting with a <code>%</code> sign are interpreted as Ruby as well:
<pre>% ruby code</pre>

'''Multiple lines'''

These can appear less graceful because the beginning and ending are not quite the same. They function like blocks in Ruby and are terminated by <code><% end %></code>. They are commonly used as looping constructs, which appear like this:
<pre><ul>
<% 3.times do %>

<li>list item</li>

<% end %>
</ul>
</pre>

Outputting:
<ul>
<li>list item</li>
<li>list item</li>
<li>list item</li>
</ul>

The same code could also be written as:
<pre><ul>
% 3.times do
<li>list item</li>
% end
</ul>
</pre>

'''Expression result substitution'''

<pre><%= ruby expression %></pre> - Value evaluated from expression like 11 from <code>7 + 4</code> would replace the ruby expression between the delimiters. Often these are only one line.

'''Comments'''
<pre><%# ruby code %></pre> - this is the same as a comment in Ruby. All Ruby code after the # is ignored and generates nothing.

Other things common in eRuby are simply common in Ruby, such as string substitution with <pre>#{string_name}</pre>, which is similar in languages such as Perl or PHP.

== Implementations ==
There are several implementations of eRuby:

=== eruby ===
'''eruby''' is an implementation of eRuby written in the [[C programming language]].

=== erb ===
'''erb''' is an implementation of eRuby, written purely in the Ruby programming language.

=== erubis ===
'''erubis''' is an implementation of eRuby implemented in Ruby and also in [[Java (programming language)|Java]]. It runs faster than eruby and erb,{{Fact}} and has several useful options, including alternate tags allowing for valid [[XML]].

The band's first headlining tour, "The New Hope Tour," began on March 31st 2006. About a week before the start of the tour, guitarist/vocalist Alex fell down a flight of stairs and broke his scapula and two ribs and punctured his lung. A question of whether or not he would be able to perform arose, yet he pulled through. Some bands supporting the band on their first headlining tour were [[As Tall as Lions]], [[A Thorn for Every Heart]], [[Hit the Lights]], [[I Am the Avalanche]], and [[Foredoes Me Quite]].

On [[March 18]], [[2008]] the band announced that it would "no longer exist in the way it has for the past 5 years" on their [[MySpace]] page. The main reason for the break up was the fact that Brendan had a child in January, and he decided he needed to reassess his priorities. In a MySpace bulletin he claimed that all of the members still keep a passion for music and the love for their fans. The band played two of their last three last shows at Lupo's in Providence, Rhode Island on [[May 2]], supported by [[Envy on the Coast]] and [[Therefore I Am]], and The Bamboozle Festival in East Rutherford, New Jersey on [[May 4]]. On [[May 5]], a final farewell was performed under the pseudonym The Red Eye of Soromon at Harper's Ferry in Allston, Massachusetts.

==Name==
According to drummer Andrew Cook:
<blockquote>"I was a cook at a place called McCarthy’s Pub in Massachusetts. A bunch of police cars and ambulances went screaming by and the name popped in my head. Like, thinking about how people never really think what’s ‘on the receiving end of sirens,’ because its such a common thing just to hear the sirens. Especially if you live in a city, it just becomes this commonplace thing, nobody thinks twice about it anymore. Even though there’s so much awful stuff going on in the world, and horrible things that happen to people, it’s kind of like ‘out of sight, out of mind.’ It’s just kind of a sad thing. So it’s kind of a commentary on that. It also works on a couple levels. It can be taken as the Greek mythology example with the Sirens that lure sailors in with their singing, so being on the receiving end of those sirens isn’t a great thing. It works both ways."<ref>[http://www.heartsandsleeves.com/html/the_receiving_end_of_sirens.html The Receiving End Of Sirens]</ref></blockquote>

The band has also been known to perform under the pseudonym The Red Eye of Soromon [''sic''], or if abbreviated, TREOS. The band plays under the name The Red Eye of Soromon, presumably, to avoid record label contract issues when playing local venues in Massachusetts. The most recent performance under the pseudonym was on [http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=209012 May 5, 2008].

==History==
The band formed in 2003. In May 2006, [[Casey Crescenzo]] parted ways with the band and started pursuing his side project full-time, [[The Dear Hunter]].

On November 6, 2006 the band announced their new permanent member as Brian Southall (formerly the drummer of [[Boys Night Out (band)|Boys Night Out]]). He plays guitar, keys, and backup vocals.

The band had arranged to stream a live concert from Vintage Vinyl Record Store in New Jersey on the new real-time entertainment site www.Yebotv.com on August 9th, 2007.

In a December 10, 2007 interview, when referring to the unique sound of TREOS being, "musical mojo," Stephen Kahler was quoted as saying, "I think they might just be...the best band to have ever existed."<ref>December 10, 2007 interview for WBRH Radio by Aaron Louison</ref>

On March 18th, 2008 Brendan Brown announced on Myspace, via a Myspace bulletin that because of his new priorities (having a baby), the band is coming to an end.
<blockquote>
I, Brendan, must admit that I am the main reason why TREOS is ending. My choice to no longer continue on with The Receiving End of Sirens has nothing to do with a lack of love for my band, and/or band members. It has nothing to do with a lack of passion for our music, or any music for that matter. My decision is due mostly in part to a huge rearranging of priorities in my life, and the unquestionable responsibility that comes along with becoming a father. January 15th my
wife and I welcomed Parker Brown, our first child, into the world. Since then everything has changed. The happiness and joy I gained from being part of this band can't ever be taken away from me, but to be honest, I have lived a long time thinking that specific joy was as good as it got. Since Parker's birth I have realized my joy is a great thing, in and of itself, but the happiness I receive from his happiness is exponentially greater than anything I could muster on my own. The thought of leaving him to tour for months at a time is something I just can't stomach. I can't
stand to miss another thing. I realize how important I am to my band, and how important our band is to some people, but I am far more elemental in the growth and happiness of my child, than I am anything else in this world.
</blockquote>

On Friday May 2nd, 2008 the band played its farewell show with Envy on the Coast and Therefore I Am. Casey Crescenzo made a return halfway through the set. TREOS performed virtually all of their tracks, forcing them to repeat Planning a Prison Break as their [[encore (concert)|encore]]. Absolute punk made a statement about their final show:

<blockquote>
Casey Crescenzo played with The Receiving End of Sirens last night at their final headlining show in Providence, Rhode Island. They played 21 songs (technically 22 because the crowd got them to play "Planning a Prison Break" twice) - almost every track spanning their three CD discography. A fan (Brandon) also proposed to his girlfriend on stage during the set & they are now engaged! It was truly an eve of magic & delight. The band will be greatly missed by their fans, and we wish them each the best of luck in the future!
</blockquote>

The band also played [[The Bamboozle]] on May 4th, 2008 and performed their final show as The Red Eye of Soromon in Allston, MA on May 5th, 2008, where they played all of ''Between the Heart and the Synapse'' in order from start to finish, with Casey, followed by an encore set.

The band recorded their Farewell Show at Lupo's on May 2nd, 2008 for a DVD set to be released by the end of 2008. Along with concert footage, the DVD will contain never-before-seen interviews, as well as backstage footage from many of the band's tours. The live concert footage will span twenty-two songs and will feature Casey Crescenzo for the latter half of the performance.

'''The Receiving End of Sirens''' (often abbreviated '''TREOS''') was a rock band from [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]] who originally formed in 2003. The band incorporates many elements from different genres and styles such as metal, electronica, punk, and progressive rock. Although the band likes to describe themselves as [[Experimental rock|experimental]],<ref>{{cite web | url=http://thephoenix.com/bandguide/artistprofile2.aspx?id=2550 | title=TREOS listed as "experimental, rock"; the content for this page was, however, taken directly from the band's publicity materials}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.myspace.com/thereceivingendofsirens | title=TREOS again listing themselves as "indie/experimental"}}</ref> most listeners place their sound squarely in the realm of "progressive rock with an essence of post-hardcore."{{fact}}

The band played on the 2005 [[Warped Tour]] and has toured with such acts as [[Gatsbys American Dream]], [[A Wilhelm Scream]], [[30 Seconds to Mars]], [[Funeral for a Friend]], [[Saves the Day]], [[Senses Fail]], [[Thrice]], and [[New Found Glory]].

[[Image:Anthonyindelicato1.jpg|right|thumb|[[FBI]] [[mugshot]] of Anthony "Bruno" Indelicato]]

'''Anthony Indelicato''' a.k.a. '''"''Bruno''"''' a.k.a. '''"''Whack-Whack''"''' (b. 1956 [[Little Italy, Manhattan]]) is one of the top [[caporegime]]s with the [[Bonanno crime family]] in [[New York City]], and the son of [[Alphonse Indelicato|Alphonse "Sonny Red" Indelicato]] and [[stepson]] of Mary Elizabeth McFhadden.

==Biography==

Anthony B. (Bruno) Indelicato also the nephew of [[Bonanno crime family]] ''capo'' [[Joseph Indelicato]] who is a salesman for a [[New Jersey]]-based garment factory and is also the [[son-in-law]] to [[Lucchese crime family]] mob associate [[Jimmy Burke]] and [[brother-in-law]] to [[Gambino crime family]] mob associate Jesse James Burke and [[Frank James Burke]]. He is a [[nephew]] of [[Gerard Indelicato]] born c.a. 1946 [[Boston, Massachusetts]], who was the Special Assistant for Educational Affairs to [[Governor of Massachusetts]] [[Michael Dukakis]] from 1983 to 1986. Gerard was later appointed [[President]] of [[Bridgewater State College]] and served from 1986 to December of 1988. He is the nephew of small-time [[Irish-American]] armed robber and burglar [[Edward Theodore Deegan]]. He is also a relative of [[Castellammare del Golfo]] born convicted [[heroin]] smuggler and [[Bonanno crime family]] [[capo]] [[Giuseppe Indelicato]]. Anthony has the physique of a welterweight boxer and suffered from premature hair loss which he was very insecure about. In 1982 he had a $500-a-day cocaine addiction. Additionally, information surfaced in early 2008 revealing that Anthony Indelicato is the second cousin of mobster and recording artist [[Danyael Shovera Caliberi]], who is better known as Sho Caliberi and [[Genovese crime family]] mobster [[Vito Lasata]] whose daughter Britney married Sho. Britney was later gangbanged, mutilated and set on fire before finally dying from her wounds. By the age of twenty-five he was starting to loose his hair which gave him self confidence and esteem issues that plague him. He had hair plugs installed to help the premature hair loss but with no prevail. He constantly complained about his hair loss to his fellow criminal associates which aggrivated them.

==Career in Organized Crime==

He is suspected by authorities to have participated in the [[July 12]], [[1979]] murder of [[Carmine Galante|Carmine "Lilo the Cigar" Galante]] that occurred while dining at a restaurant [[Bushwick, Brooklyn]]. After he was promoted to the rank of [[Caporegime|capo]], he intended to inherit his father's [[loanshark]] and [[bookmaking]] rackets, and live off his prosperity. [[Dominick Napolitano|Dominick "Sonny Black" Napolitano]] immensely disliked the rival [[Bonanno crime family]] ''capo'' because of living off his father's reputation in the [[La Cosa Nostra]]. He was supposed to be murdered with his father, Alphonse, [[Phillip Giaccone|Philip "Philly Lucky" Giaccone]] and [[Dominick Trinchera|Dominick "Big Trin" Trinchera]] on [[May 5]], [[1981]], but was high on [[cocaine]] and was fortunately late for the "meeting". Convicted of Galante's murder during the historic [[Mafia Commission Trial]] in 1986, Indelicato was serving twelve years in a [[Lewisburg, Pennsylvania]] penitentary, when he met Catherine Burke, while visiting her incarcerated father [[Jimmy Burke (gangster)|Jimmy Burke]] in 1985 and were eventually married in 1992 while Indelicato was serving time in [[Terre Haute, Indiana]] for racketeering. Following his release in 1998, Indelicato resides with his wife in [[Howard Beach, Queens]], while taking care of his father's old crew and is being one of the [[Bonanno crime family]]'s biggest earners, with a murderous crew of at least fifteen of them are all listed as a [[made man]] or "street soldier". Since the murder of his brother Alphonse, Joseph Indelicato has become the capo over his nephew Anthony and formed relationships with [[Vincent Basciano]]. She was murdered in revenge for Sho murdering a rival mobster's nephew. After the death of his father, Anthony attempted to assasinate [[John Gotti]] and [[Angelo Ruggiero]] (who were only minorly involved in arranging the disposal) by driving up alongside them and machinegunning them to death on the [[Van Wyck Expressway]] during a high speed chase but Ruggiero who was driving at the time careened the vehicle away avoiding imminent death.

==Cocaine Addiction==

Anthony was very abusive to women. In one incident a sobbing woman approached Anthony in a social club, but he just ignored her, or one of the waiters would try to pull her away. Finally after she persisted for too long, Anthony got up from his chair, made a move like he was going to hug her, and instead, grabbed her by the hair, he dragged her towards the door. Someone opened the front door for him, and he pushed her down the stairs. He screamed, ''"If you don't get the fuck out of here, I'm going to have to fucking kill you. And you better not open your mouth."'' Anthony was married in [[1977]] to a cocaine addict named Maryanne. She is described as weighed not much more than eighty-five pounds and was worse than Anthony. She was a petite woman to begin with, but she was nearly skeletal, with sunken eyes and hollow cheeks which made her frightening to look at. Anthony and Maryanne owned a house in Florida that was a block away from Frank Lino's vacation home. They would spend all day with their blinds closed snorting cocaine, and then at night they would come out, pale and cadaverous, like vampires. He was constantly irrational and badgered friends for drugs. The cocaine made him so paranoid that he was even suspicious of himself. On one occasion he even hassled Frank Lino's girlfriend Andrea Giovino and once broke into Frank's Florida home while she was asleep looking for cocaine. Frank eventually became concerned about Anthony's increasingly erratic behaviour. On a constant basis Anthony would swing back and forth between fits. He would go through periods when he would go to a drug [[rehabilitation center]] and clean himself up where he could be the most handsome, charming man that anyone could meet and the next day a volatile angry irrational man. He wore thousand dollar [[Armani]] suits and silk ties and displayed himself as the movie mobster stereotype. [[Frank Lino]] later informed his girlfriend Andrea Giovino that there had been several sit-downs involving the Gambino, Bonanno, Lucchese and Colombo crime families in New York City to discuss the situation. Anthony was often so volatile that he was ordering contract killings left and right for no good reason that the leaders of the organized crime families could not see. By [[1977]], the Bonanno crime family led by Phillip Rastelli were considering having him murdered to help ease the inner-familiy tensions that would eventually peak in 1981 with the Donnie Brasco investigation, as well as among the other crime famlies. Fortunately, for Anthony he was so "arrogant and stupid" that he was one of the first "skippers" to get arrested and convicted of racketeering charges in 1979. At this time, if he had not wound up being sent to prison for racketeering and the murder of [[Carmine Galante]], he himself would have been murdered.

{{Cleanup|date=August 2006}}
'''Space law''' is an area of the [[law]] that encompasses national and [[international law]] governing activities in [[outer space]]. International lawyers have been unable to agree on a uniform definition of the term "outer space," although most lawyers agree that outer space generally begins at the lowest altitude above sea level at which objects can orbit the [[Earth]], approximately 100 km (62 mi).

The inception of the field of space law began with the launch in October [[1957]] of the world's first artificial satellite, the [[Soviet Union|Union of Soviet Socialist Republic]]'s ''[[Sputnik]]''. It was launched as part of the [[International Geophysical Year]]. Since then, space law has evolved and assumed more importance as humankind has increasingly come to use and rely on space-based resources.

== Early developments ==

Beginning in 1957, nations began discussing systems to ensure the peaceful use of outer space.<ref name="inesap">[http://www.inesap.org/bulletin17/bul17art22.htm inesap.org] Peaceful Uses of Outer Space and International Law.</ref><ref>[http://daccessdds.un.org/doc/RESOLUTION/GEN/NR0/119/31/IMG/NR011931.pdf?OpenElement UN website] UN Resolution 1148 (XII).</ref> Bilateral discussions between the United States and USSR in 1958 resulted in the presentation of issues to the UN for debate.<ref name="inesap"/><ref>[http://books.google.ca/books?id=r2IfMEpPUIsC&pg=PA289&lpg=PA289&dq=un+resolution+1148&source=web&ots=f7fK1HE9op&sig=aqBDlbeUSYjEmBdXPOCyg7nee60&hl=en#PPA291,M1 Google books] ''Nuclear Weapons and Contemporary International Law'' N.Singh, E. WcWhinney (p.289)</ref><ref>[http://daccessdds.un.org/doc/RESOLUTION/GEN/NR0/747/92/IMG/NR074792.pdf?OpenElement UN website] UN Resolution 1348 (XIII).</ref> In 1959 the UN created the [[United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space|Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space]] (COPUOS).<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.unoosa.org/oosa/COPUOS/copuos.html | title = United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space | publisher = United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs}}</ref> COPUOS in turn created two subcommittees, the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee and the Legal Subcommittee. The COPUOS Legal Subcommittee has been a primary forum for discussion and negotiation of international agreements relating to outer space.

== International treaties ==
Five international treaties have been negotiated and drafted in the COPUOS:

* The 1967 Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, Including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies (the "[[Outer Space Treaty]]").

* The 1968 Agreement on the Rescue of Astronauts, the Return of Astronauts and the Return of Objects Launched into Outer Space (the "[[Rescue Agreement]]").

* The 1972 Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects (the "[[Liability Convention]]").

* The 1975 Convention on Registration of Objects Launched Into Outer Space (the "[[Registration Convention]]").

* The 1979 Agreement Governing the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies (the "[[Moon Treaty]]").

The Outer Space Treaty is the most widely-adopted treaty, with 98 parties. The Rescue Agreement, the Liability Convention and the Registration Convention all elaborate on provisions of the Outer Space Treaty. U.N. delegates apparently intended that the Moon Treaty serve as a new comprehensive treaty which would supersede or supplement the Outer Space Treaty, most notably by elaborating upon the Outer Space Treaty's provisions regarding resource appropriation and prohibition of territorial sovereignty. The Moon Treaty has only 12 parties, and many consider it to be a failed treaty due to its limited acceptance.

In addition, the [[Treaty Banning Nuclear Weapon Tests in the Atmosphere, in Outer Space, and Under Water|nuclear test ban treaty]] of [[1963]] banned the testing of nuclear weapons in outer space.

== Consensus ==
The COPUOS operates on the basis of consensus, ''i.e.'' all committee and subcommittee delegates must agree on treaty language before it can be included in the final version of a treaty, and the committees cannot place new items on their agendas unless all member nations agree. One reason that the U.N. space treaties lack definitions and are unclear in other respects, is because it is easier to achieve consensus when language and terms are vague. In recent years, the COPUOS Legal Subcommittee has been unable to achieve consensus on discussion of a new comprehensive space agreement, and it is also unlikely that the Subcommittee will be able to agree to amend the Outer Space Treaty in the foreseeable future. Many space faring nations seem to believe that discussing a new space agreement or amendment of the Outer Space Treaty would be futile and time consuming, because entrenched differences regarding resource appropriation, property rights and other issues relating to commercial activity make consensus unlikely.

== 1998 ISS agreement ==
In addition to the international treaties that have been negotiated at the United Nations, the nations participating in the [[International Space Station]] have entered into the 1998 Agreement among the governments of [[Canada]], Member States of the [[European Space Agency]], [[Japan]], [[Russia|Russian Federation]], and the [[United States of America]] concerning cooperation on the Civil International Space Station (the "[ftp://ftp.hq.nasa.gov/pub/pao/reports/1998/IGA.html Space Station Agreement]"). This Agreement provides, among other things, that [[NASA]] is the lead agency in coordinating the member states' contributions to and activities on the space station, and that each nation has jurisdiction over its own module(s). The Agreement also provides for protection of intellectual property and procedures for criminal prosecution. This Agreement may very well serve as a model for future agreements regarding international cooperation in facilities on the Moon and Mars, where the first off-world colonies and scientific/industrial bases are likely to be established.

== National law==
Space law also encompasses national laws, and many countries have passed national space legislation in recent years. The Outer Space Treaty requires parties to authorize and supervise national space activities, including the activities of non-governmental entities such as commercial and non-profit organizations. The Outer Space Treaty also incorporates the [[United Nations Charter|UN Charter]] by reference, and requires parties to ensure that activities are conducted in accordance with other forms of international law such as [[customary international law]] (the custom and practice of states).

The advent of commercial space activities beyond the scope of the satellite communications industry, and the development of many commercial spaceports, is leading many countries to consider how to regulate private space activities. The challenge is to regulate these activities in a manner that does not hinder or preclude investment, while still ensuring that commercial activities comply with international law. The developing nations are concerned that the space faring nations will monopolize space resources.

== Geostationary orbit allocation ==
Satellites in [[geostationary orbit]] must all occupy a single ring above the equator, approximately 35,800 km into space. The requirement to space these satellites apart means that there are a limited number of orbital "slots" available, thus only a limited number of satellites can be placed in geostationary orbit. This has led to conflict between different countries wishing access to the same orbital slots (countries at the same [[longitude]] but differing [[latitudes]]). These disputes are addressed through the [[International Telecommunication Union|ITU]] allocation mechanism.<ref>http://www.itu.int/ITU-R/conferences/seminars/mexico-2001/docs/06-procedure-mechanism.doc</ref> Countries located at the Earth's equator have also asserted their legal claim to control the use of space above their territory.<ref>[http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/ECSL/SEM1691XDYD_0.html ESA - ECSL European Centre for Space Law - Geostationary Orbit. Legal issues]</ref>

== The future of space law ==
While this field of the law is still in its infancy, it is in an era of rapid change and development. Arguably the resources of space are infinite, and limited only by our ability to use them in a manner that is fair and equitable to all nations and which is environmentally ethical. If commercial space transportation becomes widely available, with substantially lower launch costs, then all countries will be able to directly reap the benefits of space resources. In that situation, it seems likely that consensus will be much easier to achieve with respect to commercial development and human settlement of outer space. High costs are not the only factor preventing the economic exploitation of space: it is argued that space should be considered as a pristine environment worthy of protection and conservation, and that the legal regime for space should further protect it from being used as a resource for Earth's needs <ref>Billings, L.

(1994) Awe and humility: intrinsic value in nature – beyond an earthbound environmental ethics, in: Attfield, R. & Belsey, A.

Debate is also focussed on whether space should continue to be legally defined as part of the “common heritage of man,” and therefore unavailable for national claims, or whether its legal definition should be changed to allow private property in space.<ref>Fountain, L.

I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles

[[Image:ImForeverBlowingBubbles.jpg|right|]]
"'''I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles'''" is a popular song which debuted in [[1918]] and was first published in [[1919]].

The tune is by [[John W. Kellette|John Kellette]]. The lyrics are credited to "Jaan Kenbrovin", actually a collective [[pseudonym]] for the writers [[James Kendis]], [[James Brockman]] and [[Nat Vincent]]. The number was debuted in the [[Broadway musical]] ''[[The Passing Show of 1918]]'', and it was introduced by Helen Carrington.

The [[copyright]] to "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" was originally registered in 1919, and was owned by the [[Kendis-Brockman Music Company|Kendis-Brockman Music Co. Inc]]. This was transferred later that year to [[Jerome H. Rernick]] & Co. of New York and Detroit. When the song was written, James Kendis, James Brockman, and Nat Vincent all had separate contracts with publishers, which led them to use the name Jaan Kenbrovin for credit on this song. James Kendis and James Brockman were partners in the Kendis-Brockman Music Company.

The [[Waltz (music)|waltz]] was a major [[Tin Pan Alley]] hit, and was performed and recorded by most major singers and bands of the late [[1910s]] and early [[1920s]].

The song was a hit for [[Ben Selvin]]'s Novelty Orchestra in 1919. The [[Original Dixieland Jass Band]] recording of the number is an unusual early example of [[jazz]] in 3/4 time.

The song also became a hit with the public in British [[music hall]]s and theatres during the early 1920s. [[Dorothy Ward]] was especially renowned for making the song famous with her appearances at these venues. The song was also used by English comedian "Professor" [[Jimmy Edwards]] as his signature tune - played on the trombone. [[Harpo Marx]] would play the song on clarinet, which would then begin emitting bubbles. The title air, or first line of the chorus, is quoted in the 1920s song "[[Singing in the Bathtub]]", a favorite of cartoon [[canary]] [[Tweety Bird]]. In the early 1970s, The [[Bonzo Dog Band]]'s stage show featured a [[robot]] that sang the title air while blowing bubbles.

The writer [[Ring Lardner]] parodied the lyric during the [[Black Sox]] scandal of 1919, when he began to suspect that players on the [[Chicago White Sox]] team were deliberately losing the World Series to the [[Cincinnati Reds]].<ref>[http://www.baseballlibrary.com/ballplayers/player.php?name=Ring_Lardner Entry for Ring Lardner at the Baseball Library]</ref> His version began: "I'm forever blowing ballgames".

The song features extensively in the 1931 [[prohibition]] gangster movie ''[[The Public Enemy]]'' starring [[James Cagney]].

A parody of the song was written and performed as; "I'm forever blowing bubble-gum" by Spike Jones and his City Slickers.

==West Ham United connection==

The song is now better known in the UK as the club anthem of [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]], a [[London]]-based football club.

"I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" was introduced to the club by former manager [[Charlie Paynter]] in the late twenties. A player, Billy J. "Bubbles" Murray who played for the local [[Park School, London|Park School]] had an almost uncanny resemblance to the boy in the famous "[[bubbles (painting)|Bubbles]]" painting by [[Millais]] used in a Pears soap commercial of the time. Headmaster Cornelius Beal coined singing the tune "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" with amended lyrics when Park players played well.<ref name="Bubbles">{{cite web |url=http://www.whufc.com/page/VintageClaret/0,,12562~1193983,00.html | title=The Story of Bubbles | publisher=West Ham United | author=John Helliar}}</ref>

Beal was a friend of Paynter, while Murray was a West Ham trialist and played football at schoolboy level with a number of West Ham players such as [[Jim Barrett, Sr.|Jim Barrett]]. Through this contrivance of association the club's fans took it upon themselves to begin singing the popular music hall tune before home games, sometimes reinforced by the presence of a house band requested to play the refrain by Charlie Paynter.<ref name="Bubbles"/>

There is a slight change to the lyrics sung by the Upton Park faithful. The second line's "nearly reach the sky" is changed to "they reach the sky", "Then like my dreams" is also changed to "And like my dreams". In addition the fans begin a chant of "United, United!" to cap it off.<ref name="Bubbles"/>

These touchline songs were a form of predecessor to the [[Football chant|terrace chants]] that have since become a trademark of the game. It was adopted by West Ham's supporters in the late 1920s and is now one of the most recognisable club anthems in [[Football in England|English football]] along with "[[You'll Never Walk Alone (song)|You'll Never Walk Alone]]".

As a tribute to West Ham, the [[punk rock]] band the [[Cockney Rejects]] covered the song in [[1980]]. The song is also distinctly heard in the movie ''[[Green Street]]'',<ref>The film is known alternatively as ''"Green Street Hooligans"'' (US) or ''"Hooligans"'' (Aus/Rest of the world)</ref> starring [[Elijah Wood]].

In [[2006]] at the final match at [[Arsenal Stadium|Arsenal F.C.'s Highbury stadium]], [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] supporters broke into song to celebrate West Ham's defeat of [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham]] which elevated Arsenal into the Champions League on the last day. Similarly, [[Blackburn Rovers]] were heard singing 'Bubbles' in their dressing room after West Ham assisted them winning the Premiership in 1995 having held [[Manchester United]] 1-1.

'''Cranbrook''' is an old market town in the [[Tunbridge Wells (borough)|Tunbridge Wells]] borough of [[Kent]] in [[South East England]]. It is also the smallest town in Kent. It is on the [[Maidstone]] to [[Hastings]] road and five miles north of [[Hawkhurst]]. The smaller settlements of [[Swattenden]], Colliers Green and [[Hartley, Cranbrook|Hartley]] lie within the parish.
==Origin of Name==

The place name Cranbrook derives from [[Old English]] ''cran broc'', meaning Crane Marsh – marshy ground frequented by cranes (although more probably herons). The place name has evolved over the centuries from Cranebroca (c1100), by 1226 it is recorded as Cranebroc, then Cranebrok by 1610 the name had become Cranbrooke, which evolved into the current spelling.<ref>The Place Names of Kent, Judith Glover ISBN 0905270 614</ref><ref>The Origin of English Place Names, P.H.Reaney ISBN 0710020104</ref>

==History==
In medieval times it was a centre of the [[Wealden cloth industry]]; and [[Wealden iron industry|iron-making]] was also carried on at [[River Teise|Bedgebury]]. The church here, dedicated to St Dunstan, is often called the ''Cathedral of the Weald''; its 74 feet-high tower, completed in 1425, has a wooden figure of [[Father Time]] and his scythe on its south face.

==Mills==

[[Image:Cranbrook windmill.jpg|thumb|Union mill.]]Cranbrook had a number of [[watermill]]s and [[windmill]]s over the centuries. There were about seventeen watermills around Cranbrook, all on tributaries of the [[River Beult]].

There were four windmills in Cranbrook over the centuries, one of which survives today.

;Windmill Hill.
This mill was marked on E Bowen's map of Kent, 1736 and also on Andrews, Drury and Herbert's map of Kent, 1769. It is thought that the mill was a [[smock mill]], and that it was moved to [[Sissinghurst]] circa 1814. It stood ½ mile (400m) west north west of the church.<ref name=Finch>{{cite book | first = William| last = Coles Finch| year = 1933| title = Watermills and Windmills| pages = p188-91| publisher = C W Daniel Company| location = London}}</ref>

;Saint's Hill.
This mill was marked on Andrews, Drury and Herbert's Map of Kent, 1769. It stood 1 mile 5 [[furlong]]s (2.6 km) north east of the church.<ref name=Finch/>

;Cranbrook Common.
This was a smock mill with common sails<ref name=Sail>Cloth sails spread on a lattice framework</ref> and winded<ref name=Wind>Turned to face the wind</ref> by hand. It was marked on the 1858-72 [[Ordnance Survey]] map. The mill was last worked in 1876, and was demolished on [[9 August|9 August]] [[1902]]. The mill stood 1¾ miles (2.8 km) north north east of the church.<ref name=Finch/>

;Union Mill.
One of the surviving Kent [[Windmills in the United Kingdom|windmills]]: the [[Union Mill, Cranbrook|Union Mill]] was built for Henry Dobell in 1814. Dobell went bankrupt in 1819 and run by a union of creditors until 1832. The Russell family ran it for the next 128 years, when it was sold to [[Kent County Council]], who have restored it, and it's kept in working order to this day. The mill stands ¼ mile (400m) south east of the church.<ref name=Finch/>

==About Cranbrook==
[[Image:Cranbrook, Kent.jpg|thumb|right|200px|1906 watercolour of a cottage in Cranbrook]]
Cranbrook has around 7,000 [[Residency (domicile)|residents]].
It is sited near the junction of the A262 (Lamberhurst – Biddenden) and the [[A229]] ([[Rochester, Kent|Rochester]] – [[Hawkhurst]]).
The nearest [[railway]] station is Staplehurst, 5 miles to the north. The [[Cranbrook railway station]] was closed in 1961. Cranbrook is the smallest [[town]] in [[Kent]]{{Fact|date=December 2007}}.

===Education===
There are two [[secondary schools]] in Cranbrook: [[Angley School]] (comprehensive, 11-18) and [[Cranbrook School, Kent]] (grammar, 13-18). Both are co-educational.

There is also a [[primary school]] in Cranbrook, known simply as Cranbrook Primary. The primary school was originally located in an old [[manor house]], which was once visited by [[Queen Elizabeth I]]. After the original building burnt down, the school moved to a site to the north of the Church Yard and Jockey Lane. The primary school remained on this site for around a century, before growth of the town's population and the increasingly unmanageable collection of temporary classrooms and 1960's prefabs forced a move in 1985 to new brand new premises at the end of Carriers Road, where the school remains to this day. The building of the new school finally drew all the pupils together under one roof, but sadly further growth in the town's population forced the new school to buy in temporary classrooms to supplement the purpose-built ones barely three years after its opening. Almost all of the buildings of the old school were knocked down to make way for a development of sheltered accommodation for old people. The only building to resist the bulldozer was the south wing which had contained the three classrooms of infant school (the first three years). This building was internally gutted and converted to a surgery for general practice. A family planning clinic was built to the west of it on the site of Mr Leech's classroom. Sadly the old school's collection of formalin-pickled amphibians, reptiles and soft bodied sea creatures seemed to disappear (presumably it was thrown away) when the school moved to its new premises.

===Entertainment===
The main place for entertainment in Cranbrook is the Queens Hall Theatre. It is often host to many theatre groups including the [[Cambridge Footlights]] and the local dramatic society CODS. Each year a pantomime is performed by the Showtimers pantomime group. The theatre is part of Cranbrook School and is one that plays a very central role to the entertainment in Cranbrook.

Cranbrook is also the home of Cranbrook Town Band, which is a British style brass band. The band performs regular concerts in the Queens hall, St Dunstans church and around Kent. The history of the band goes back to the 1920s. The band rehearses on at 7.45pm on Thursday evenings at Angley school.

===Art===
A group of artists who called themselves "The Cranbrook Colony" were located here during the 1800s.

==Other==
There is a popular sports centre: the Weald Sports Centre on the northern side of the [[A229 road|A229]] next to Angley School. It has excellent indoor and outdoor facilities including four tennis courts, an indoor sports hall, a swimming pool and a dance studio.

St. Dunstan's Church (known as The Cathedral in the Weald) contains the prototype for the clock of Big Ben in London.
Over 600 people attend St. Dunstan's Christingle Services on Christmas Eve; requiring the church to provide two services the same to enable everyone to come along.

The comedian [[Harry Hill]] was educated in the town, and comedian and writer [[Chris Langham]] also lives there.

The '''New Wave of American Heavy Metal''' (abbreviated as '''NWOAHM''' or '''NWoAHM''') is a movement in [[heavy metal music]] that originated in the [[United States]] during the late 1990s. The term ''NWOAHM'' is a reference to the [[New Wave of British Heavy Metal]] movement of the 1980s.<ref name="Blabbermouth" /><ref name="NWOAHM">Garry Sharpe-Young, ''New Wave of American Heavy Metal'' [http://books.google.com/books?id=uIIf03bGyAAC&pg=PP10&dq=nwoahm&ei=a7ohSNGYCrW2iQGP95nFDQ&sig=yhEpvA_dhNF6I5YwMJACJGRA3XY#PPP10,M1 (link)]</ref><ref name="LOTFP-TGOGMP" /> Although the term is used by the Rock media with increasing frequency, the definition has not been finished completely.<ref name="NWOAHM" /> NWOAHM is considered to bring the heavy metal back to mainstream.<ref name="LOTFP-TGOGMP" /><ref name="popmatters" />

== History ==

The movement has its origins in a group of [[post-grunge]] acts such as [[Pantera]], [[Biohazard (band)|Biohazard]], [[Slipknot]] and [[Machine Head (band)|Machine Head]] that brought heavy metal "back to its core brutality and drawing not from the traditional [[Blues]] formula but from [[New York hardcore|NYHC]], [[thrash metal]] and [[punk rock|punk]]."<ref name="NWOAHM" /> "At one end of the spectrum, you have the traditionalists, the bands who choose to remain within the rigid confines of whatever style they play; and at the other, the innovators who, despite equally strong contributions from the traditionalists, are providing the most thrills these days, taking metal's sound in daring new directions."<ref name="popmatters" />

Garry Sharpe-Young from [[Rockdetector]] says that in the book ''New Wave of American Heavy Metal'' he "included some of the older bands that show the real roots of metalcore, like [[Agnostic Front]] and the whole [[New York hardcore|NYHC]], plus the groups that broke the metal scene into new territory after grunge — Pantera, Biohazard and Machine Head. From there it gets really diverse, crossing the spectrum from [[melodic death metal]] to emocore and everything in between."<ref name="Blabbermouth" /> The movement encompasses a number of different styles including [[alternative metal]], [[Goth subculture|sub-Gothique]] [[Emo|emocore]], [[Hardcore punk|hardcore]], [[progressive metal]], math metal, [[melodic death metal]], [[metalcore]], [[groove metal|neo-thrash]] and [[screamo]] bands.<ref name="Blabbermouth">{{cite web |title='New Wave Of American Heavy Metal' Book Documents Over 600 Bands |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=44955 |publisher=Blabbermouth.net |accessmonthday=April 27 |accessyear=2008}}</ref><ref name="maximummetal" /><ref name="NWOAHM" /><ref name="popmatters">{{cite web

'''The Receiving End of Sirens''' (often abbreviated '''TREOS''') was a rock band from [[Braintree]], [[Massachusetts]] who originally formed in 2003. The band incorporates many elements from different genres and styles such as metal, electronica, punk, and progressive rock. Although the band likes to describe themselves as [[Experimental Rock|experimental]]<ref>{{cite web | url=http://thephoenix.com/bandguide/artistprofile2.aspx?id=2550 | title=TREOS listed as "experimental, rock"; the content for this page was, however, taken directly from the band's publicity materials}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.myspace.com/thereceivingendofsirens | title=TREOS again listing themselves as "indie/experimental"}}</ref>, most listeners place their sound squarely in the realm of "progressive emo/post-hardcore".  

The band played on the 2005 [[Warped Tour]] and has toured with such acts as [[Gatsbys American Dream]], [[A Wilhelm Scream]], [[30 Seconds to Mars]], [[Funeral for a Friend]], [[Saves the Day]], [[Senses Fail]], [[Thrice]], and [[New Found Glory]].

The band's first headlining tour, "The New Hope Tour", began on March 31st 2006. About a week before the start of the tour, guitarist/vocalist Alex fell down a flight of stairs and broke his scapula and two ribs and punctured his lung. A question of whether or not he would be able to perform arose, yet he pulled through. Some bands supporting the band on their first headlining tour were [[As Tall as Lions]], [[A Thorn for Every Heart]], [[Hit the Lights]], [[I Am the Avalanche]], and [[Foredoes Me Quite]].

On March 18, 2008 the band announced that it would "no longer exist in the way it has for the past 5 years" on their MySpace page. The main reason for the break up was the fact that Brendan had a child in January, and he decided he needed to reassess his priorities. In a MySpace Bulletin he claimed that all of the members still keep a passion for music and the love for their fans. The band played two of their last three last shows at Lupo's in Providence, RI on May 2nd, supported by [[Envy on the Coast]] and [[Therefore I Am]], and The Bamboozle Festival in East Rutherford, NJ on May 4th. On May 5th, a final farewell was performed under the pseudonym The Red Eye of Soromon at Harper's Ferry in Allston, MA.

==Name==
According to drummer Andrew Cook:
<blockquote>"I was a cook at a place called McCarthy’s Pub in Massachusetts. A bunch of police cars and ambulances went screaming by and the name popped in my head. Like, thinking about how people never really think what’s ‘on the receiving end of sirens,’ because its such a common thing just to hear the sirens. Especially if you live in a city, it just becomes this commonplace thing, nobody thinks twice about it anymore. Even though there’s so much awful stuff going on in the world, and horrible things that happen to people, it’s kind of like ‘out of sight, out of mind.’ It’s just kind of a sad thing. So it’s kind of a commentary on that. It also works on a couple levels. It can be taken as the Greek mythology example with the Sirens that lure sailors in with their singing, so being on the receiving end of those sirens isn’t a great thing. It works both ways."<ref>http://www.heartsandsleeves.com/html/the_receiving_end_of_sirens.html</ref></blockquote>

The band has also been known to perform under the pseudonym The Red Eye of Soromon [''sic''], or if abbreviated, TREOS. The band plays under the name The Red Eye of Soromon, presumably, to avoid record label contract issues when playing local venues in Massachusetts. The most recent performance under the pseudonym was on [http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=209012 May 5, 2008].

==History==
The band formed in 2003. In May of 2006, [[Casey Crescenzo]] parted ways with the band and started pursuing his side project full-time, [[The Dear Hunter]].

On November 6, 2006 the band announced their new permanent member as Brian Southall (formerly the drummer of [[Boys Night Out (band)|Boys Night Out]]). He plays guitar, keys, and backup vocals.

The band had arranged to stream a live concert from Vintage Vinyl Record Store in New Jersey on the new real-time entertainment site www.Yebotv.com on August 9th, 2007.

In a December 10, 2007 interview, when referring to the unique sound of TREOS being, "musical mojo," Stephen Kahler was quoted as saying, "I think they might just be...the best band to have ever existed."<ref>December 10, 2007 interview for WBRH Radio by Aaron Louison</ref>

On March 18th, 2008 Brendan Brown announced on Myspace, via a Myspace bulletin that because of his new priorities (having a baby), the band is coming to an end.
<blockquote>
I, Brendan, must admit that I am the main reason why TREOS is ending. My choice to no longer continue on with The Receiving End of Sirens has nothing to do with a lack of love for my band, and/or band members. It has nothing to do with a lack of passion for our music, or any music for that matter. My decision is due mostly in part to a huge rearranging of priorities in my life, and the unquestionable responsibility that comes along with becoming a father. January 15th my
wife and I welcomed Parker Brown, our first child, into the world. Since then everything has changed. The happiness and joy I gained from being part of this band can't ever be taken away from me, but to be honest, I have lived a long time thinking that specific joy was as good as it got. Since Parker's birth I have realized my joy is a great thing, in and of itself, but the happiness I receive from his happiness is exponentially greater than anything I could muster on my own. The thought of leaving him to tour for months at a time is something I just can't stomach. I can't
stand to miss another thing. I realize how important I am to my band, and how important our band is to some people, but I am far more elemental in the growth and happiness of my child, than I am anything else in this world.
</blockquote>

On Friday May 2nd, 2008 the band played its farewell show with Envy on the Coast and Therefore I Am. Casey Crescenzo made a return halfway through the set. TREOS performed virtually all of their tracks, forcing them to repeat Planning a Prison Break as their [[encore]]. Absolute punk made a statement about their "final show".

<blockquote>
Casey Crescenzo played with The Receiving End of Sirens last night at their final headlining show in Providence, Rhode Island. They played 21 songs (technically 22 because the crowd got them to play "Planning a Prison Break" twice) - almost every track spanning their three CD discography. A fan (Brandon) also proposed to his girlfriend on stage during the set & they are now engaged! It was truly an eve of magic & delight. The band will be greatly missed by their fans, and we wish them each the best of luck in the future!
</blockquote>

The band also played [[The Bamboozle]] on May 4th, 2008 and performed their final show as The Red Eye of Soromon in Allston, MA on May 5th, 2008, where they played all of <i>Between the Heart and the Synapse</i> in order from start to finish, with Casey, followed by an encore set.

'''The Receiving End of Sirens''' (often abbreviated '''TREOS''') was a rock band from [[Braintree]], [[Massachusetts]] who originally formed in 2003. The band incorporates many elements from different genres and styles such as metal, electronica, punk, and progressive rock. Although the band likes to describe themselves as [[Experimental Rock|experimental]]<ref>{{cite web | url=http://thephoenix.com/bandguide/artistprofile2.aspx?id=2550 | title=TREOS listed as "experimental, rock"; the content for this page was, however, taken directly from the band's publicity materials}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.myspace.com/thereceivingendofsirens | title=TREOS again listing themselves as "indie/experimental"}}</ref>, most listeners place their sound squarely in the realm of "progressive emo/post-hardcore".  

The band played on the 2005 [[Warped Tour]] and has toured with such acts as [[Gatsbys American Dream]], [[A Wilhelm Scream]], [[30 Seconds to Mars]], [[Funeral for a Friend]], [[Saves the Day]], [[Senses Fail]], [[Thrice]], and [[New Found Glory]].

The band's first headlining tour, "The New Hope Tour", began on March 31st 2006. About a week before the start of the tour, guitarist/vocalist Alex fell down a flight of stairs and broke his scapula and two ribs and punctured his lung. A question of whether or not he would be able to perform arose, yet he pulled through. Some bands supporting the band on their first headlining tour were [[As Tall as Lions]], [[A Thorn for Every Heart]], [[Hit the Lights]], [[I Am the Avalanche]], and [[Foredoes Me Quite]].

On March 18, 2008 the band announced that it would "no longer exist in the way it has for the past 5 years" on their MySpace page. The main reason for the break up was the fact that Brendan had a child in January, and he decided he needed to reassess his priorities. In a MySpace Bulletin he claimed that all of the members still keep a passion for music and the love for their fans. The band played two of their last three last shows at Lupo's in Providence, RI on May 2nd, supported by [[Envy on the Coast]] and [[Therefore I Am]], and The Bamboozle Festival in East Rutherford, NJ on May 4th. On May 5th, a final farewell was performed under the pseudonym The Red Eye of Soromon at Harper's Ferry in Allston, MA.
