What other hooks could we write with this formula?... that "gig" in "gig economy (T-H-L)" comes from the slang term for individual appearances by performing artists?
There is nothing technical about it. It just isn't. A Gospel harmony (T-H-L) is a narrative (or a tabular synopsis) of the four gospels that tries to get rid of all the inconsistencies and give a single "harmonious" account. Augustine's Harmony of the Gospels (De consensu evangelistarum; literally. 'On the Agreement of the Evangelists') is a theoretical work that tries to show that there are no real inconsistencies between the gospels. It contains a harmony of the nativity as an example of what a consistent narrative can look like.... that Augustine of Hippo's Harmony of the Gospels (T-H-L) is technically not a Gospel harmony?
The article is even more uncritical, if you can believe that:... that Nelson Santana (T-H-L) supposedly predicted the date of his death?
The article is a crappy, utterly uncritical article based on crappy uncritical sources that would fit right in in a crappy Catholic "Encyclopedia" by a small religious publisher that can't afford (marginally) competent writers.He believed that he would die at Christmas time, and is believed to have predicted the date of his death. On Christmas Eve of 1964, Santana died at the age of nine as a result of infections caused by the amputation.

This hook is synthesized from two separate statements by the article subject. In this interview, Monsieur OfMan says:... that before discovering a rudimentary audio workstation on his mother's phone, the French musician Lewis OfMan (T-H-L) wanted to be a perfumer?
And in another interview, he says:Basically, I was really into video games when I was a kid. My siblings are way older than I, so I would find myself with my two parents and sometimes it can be a little bit boring. So I would take my mother's phone because she had some video games on it and one of them was a really fun video game where you were making some tracks and some little musical loops. I would do my first tracks on this. And after I worked in GarageBand, I started a band with my friend I had at the time. I was like nine years old and we would take the back of CDs and sing the track list to make it sound like English.
Article author Launchballer has evidently put his own interpretation on the phrase "back in the days," and somewhat implausibly has M. OfMan giving up his perfumery studies in disgust before the age of nine.Actually, I wanted to be a perfume creator back in the days, but it was too many mathematical studies, I don’t like theory.

From the article:... that in 2023, Ralph Nader founded the newspaper Winsted Citizen (T-H-L) in his hometown of Winsted, Connecticut, where he delivered papers as a boy?
It was founded with financial assistance from politician and Winsted resident Ralph Nader.
Journalist Andy Thibault served as the paper's editor and publisher while Ralph Nader, a native of Winsted who delivered newspapers as a boy, agreed to provide financial support for the first edition,[3][1] which amounted to $15,000.[4]
The Winsted Citizen's about page refers to Nader as "Founding Donor".A month after publishing the first paper, Thibault said Nader failed to provide funding as initially promised for the paper's second edition. According to Thibault, Nader agreed to cover 75% of the cost, with the newspaper covering the rest. However, the money had not been delivered by the time of the second edition's printing. Instead, at that time Nader offered to give a $8,000 loan, which Thibault said the paper would not accept.[8]

The hook is based on an interesting article in Scientific American by Cara Ocobock and Sarah Lacy: The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong. Unfortunately it is based on the by far weakest part of the article. Ocobock and Lacy challenge the "Man the Hunter, Woman the Gatherer" model of prehistoric societies. They do this partly by referring to archeological evidence that shows no difference with regard to repetitive stress injuries (like from throwing spears) until 45,000 years ago. Another prong of their argument is that most of the societies where hunting has survived to modern times have female hunters.... that prehistoric women may have had unique advantages over men in endurance hunting due to the positive effects of estrogen on muscle development?

His parents planned to retire to Oregon when they returned from Niagara Falls, so the journey had a melancholy feel for Jones. He had lost his job working at their gauge-manufacturing business when they sold the plant. Now, he was losing them.

The 11th Indian Infantry Brigade, (4th Indian Division) arrived on 3 February, reconnoitred the next day and attacked on the left of the gorge on 5 February. The 2nd Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders fought their way to the top of the ridge called feature 1616, in front of Sanchil and on the night of 6/7 February, the 3/14th Punjab Regiment passed through and advanced onto Brig's Peak. The Indians were counter-attacked by elements of the 65th Infantry Division "Granatieri di Savoia" (Grenadiers of Savoy) who forced them back towards Cameron Ridge, which was being consolidated by (Wellesley's) the 1st Battalion/6th Rajputana Rifles. The ridge was overlooked in front by Sanchil, to the left by Mount Sammana and from behind by other mountains along the Ascidera Valley.

Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia tabloid that anyone can edit.... that Megan Barton-Hanson (T-H-L) dated her costars from Love Island 4, Celebs Go Dating, and Ex on the Beach, but not Hey Tracey! (T-H-L)?
I did not know that but I guess that's ok, because it's not true. Laurens asked for his body to be burned but no mention is made of decapitation. It is elsewhere claimed that this is the first cremation of a white man in the US, but this is almost certainly not true. It is perhaps the first known case of someone in the US directing in writing that their body be burned but I'm not sure how exhaustive a survey has been done.Henry Laurens (1792) – decapitated posthumously in accordance with his wishes and then burned on a funeral pyre by his son and slaves.
Cremation was taboo in Christianity for a long time because of the idea of bodily resurrection. It still is discouraged or outright forbidden in some denominations. It took until the late 19th century for the cremation movement to take off. So it is not that implausible that Laurens was really the first white man to be cremated in North America. If you do an internet search for "Henry Laurens" one of the things you repeatedly find is that he was the first "white" or "caucasian" to be cremated in the US. It is also supported by the source used in his article. As well as a 19th century book about cremation that the source references. However I found no evidence whatsoever that he was decapitated first. From the source:Giraffe Stapler wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2024 5:06 pmNot a CfDJ, but it seems to fit here. I was perusing List of people who were beheaded (T-H-L), as one does, and I came across an interesting entry:I did not know that but I guess that's ok, because it's not true.

[EDIT TO ADD:] I wasn't considering the definition of "in the US" when I wrote that and was only thinking of the geographic area. That reduced timeframe changes things, but I would still stick with the written direction caveat.
However I did find an unfortunately unreferenced account of the actual cremation in Charleston Living Magazine: Tim Lowry: The Final Rest of Henry Laurens:Like cremation in Europe, cremation came to the United States as renaissance rather than revolution. A number of North American Indian groups had practiced cremation for centuries, and at least one notable non-Indian was cremated in the colonial period. Colonel Henry Laurens, a prominent merchant-planter from South Carolina and president of the Continental Congress, was the first Caucasian cremated in the United States. A classics scholar, Laurens learned of cremation through his studies of Greece and Rome. But unlike Pliny's Greek warriors, who cremated in order to prevent the desecration of fallen comrades by enemy forces, Laurens chose cremation out of a fear of being buried alive. His daughter had been pronounced dead after being stricken by smallpox and was close to being interred when she suddenly sprang back to life. Laurens directed in his will that his corpse should be burned, and he threatened to witthould his considerable estate if his kin insisted on burial. Whether his children were motivated by respect for their father's wishes or by a pecuniary interest in his estate is not known, but they did not bury their father, who was cremated in the open air at his Charleston estate in 1792.
Prothero, Stephen R. (2001). Purified by fire: a history of cremation in America, p. 8-9
This may have led to the erroneous idea that Laurens was decapitated before cremation. The article also quotes Laurens' testament:At any rate, on the appointed day, a funeral pyre was erected on the banks of the Cooper River. Mr. Laurens’ mortal remains were laid atop and a flaming torch was touched to the tinder.
Again, multiple accounts of the story include or exclude certain details, but as I heard it in a retelling . . .
The fire burned high and hot. However, the human body is largely composed of water, and an unexpected quantity of liquid dripped down upon the wood and extinguished the flames. All of a sudden, Mr. Laurens’ head broke loose from the remainder of his corpse and with hair aflame, rolled down the river bank, into the water, fizzling out among the reeds. Some poor enslaved servant was required to extract the head from the pluff mud so that it could be buried with the rest of the charred remains at Mepkin Plantation.
Again, there is no mention of decapitation.“I come to the disposal of my own person. I solemnly enjoin it on my son [Henry Jr.] as an indispensable duty, that as soon as he conveniently can after my decease, he cause my Body to be wrapped in twelve yards of tow cloth, and burnt until it be entirely and totally consumed. And then collecting my bones, deposit them where ever he shall think proper.”

Doesn't a stampede require multiple animals? How about "trampled"?... that aviator Paul Pavelka (T-H-L) was killed after being thrown and stampeded by a horse?
He was a sailor in the Army? Nope, he was in the Navy.He first served as a sailor on the USS Maryland (ACR-8) after joining the United States Army, before serving in World War I, serving under his regiment in the Second Battle of Champagne.
I know, "post hoc ergo propter hoc" is a fallacy. Still I assume that he left because he disliked her.His father re-married, and after disliking his stepmother, Pavelka left his family in Madison.[6]
He operated at a mental health hospital? How about he worked at a mental health hospital.Pavelka then operated at a mental health hospital in New York, before re-locating to the Western United States by train, working at a cattle and sheep ranch in Montana.[3][1][8]
His counterparts???In 1910, Pavelka went to the Panama Canal Zone, before moving south and climbing the Andes as part of an expedition that killed his counterparts.[10]
"Circum-" means "around", not "across". And how did he get to London by crossing the Pacific? Maybe he circumnavigated the Earth starting by crossing the Pacific? Also, I'm gonna go ahead and assume that he traveled on a ship, not a boat.Pavelka became a sailor at the age of twenty, circumnavigating by boat across the Pacific Ocean, stopping in London, and coming back to New York City before 1912.[3][9]
How do you get involved in a shipwreck while walking? Well, he walked across South America after being involved in a ship wreck.He was once involved in a shipwreck, walking across South America.[11]
Again, Navy, not Army. And he was transported to France after being discharged?He then joined the United States Army, serving on the USS Maryland (ACR-8),[10] before being discharged and being transported to France in 1914 prior to the beginning of World War I.[10][12]
He entered what as a member of the French 170th Infantry Regiment and the Army of Counani?Pavelka first entered as a member of the French 170th Infantry Regiment and the Army of Counani in October 1914, before joining the French Foreign Legion in France after the army disbanded.[10][13][14]
He took part in school? He didn't attend it?He took part in aviation school on December 10, 1915, joining the Lafayette Escadrille in August 1916 shortly after completing training.[13]
Doesn't October 1916 come before August 1917?On August 13, 1917, the engine in the Nieuport 16 plane Pavelka was flying caught fire. Pavelka crashed the plane into a swamp after attempting to keep the flames away from its cockpit.[14][6] He fled from the plane before it exploded and was shelled by German forces.[23] On October 30, 1916, while part of the Lafayette Escadrille, Pavelka was awarded the Croix de Guerre and cited for combating enemy forces by French general Maurice Sarrail,[3][19][24] and promoted to sergeant rank.[24]
This should probably be a wiktionary entry. The background section is so long that it feels like the focus of the article with the information about "zanana" feeling more like a footnote.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.... that teenage Inuk interpreter Qalaherriaq (T-H-L) (pictured) drew an accurate map of northwest Greenland while using a pencil for the first time?
Obviously that is bad enough. What is worse is that the quote was taken from an article whose entire point is to criticize this view. Some quotes:When asked by Captain Ommanney to sketch the coast, he took up a pencil, a thing he had never seen before, and delineated the coast-line from Pikierlu to Cape York, with astonishing accuracy, making marks to indicate all the islands, remarkable cliffs, glaciers, and hills, and giving all their native names
C. R. Markham, Arctic Geography and Ethnology, 1875
The article thus concludes by arguing that while Kallihirua certainly did contribute various types of geographical
knowledge during this encounter, to label him as the sole author of these maps would be a problematic act of “cartographic ventriloquism.”
A note which appeared in the 1948 edition of the journal Imago Mundi set the tone for how much of the scholarship on Inuit mapmaking has been conceptually framed. Implying that Inuit have historically been able to produce more advanced cartographic representations in comparison to indigenous peoples from other areas of the world, the note reads [...]
However, it is important to recognize that such assertions have been firmly critiqued. With the exception of the Tunumiit community mentioned above, archaeologists, historical anthropologists, and ethno-historians have questioned
the notion that the indigenous peoples from other areas of the Arctic possess the innate European-style mapmaking capabilities that have so frequently been ascribed to them.
Following the decolonial insights above, and explaining that Arctic communities have historically possessed entirely different cosmological views of the world, Claudio Aporta has argued that “traditionally, the Inuit have used a method of geographic representation that greatly differs from map views of the territory employed in most western societies” (Aporta 2006, 223)
Viewing maps in this way – that is, as the product of prolonged periods of dialogue through which commensurabil
ity is built – calls into question those assertions made above that Inuit (and by implication many other non-European
peoples) possess an innate ability to produce cartographic representations that are immediately commensurate with
European mapping traditions. Instead, creating the illusion of an exceptional indigenous cartographic ability was in fact a rhetorical device deployed by Western explorers in attempts to bolster their own self-representation as credible and reliable explorers. The various historical descriptions of indigenous Arctic peoples contributing to the drawing of ‘astonishingly accurate’ maps should, therefore, be recognized as examples of carefully constructed narratives produced by those Western explorer(s) who narrated them.
It is crucial to recognize two things here, however. Firstly, the hand-drawn map is certainly not an example of “mapping Inuktitut” as described by Fossett (1996) and Aporta (2006) or indeed of Ancestral mapping as described by
Lucchesi (2018). It has clearly been drawn following European cartographic conventions of Cartesian spatial accuracy and thus not in a style that conveys Inuit conceptualizations of the Greenland landscape. Therefore, it is the case that, while Kallihirua may have assisted in the creation of this map, contrary to Markham’s claims he certainly did not do so alone. The second point to note is how similar Markham’s words are to those of William Parry. Referring to the map’s “astonishing accuracy” and “remarkable” detail, Markham is almost repeating verbatim the sentiments that had been expressed by Parry during his cartographic encounter with Iligliuk. The repetition of this phrasing should, therefore, signal the critical approach
that must be taken when analysing this map from a critical indigenous cartographies’ perspective. The map featured in the diary, and the description of its creation, must be viewed as manifestations of Markham’s desire to convey a degree of scientific authority over the Greenlandic landscape
The account of Kallihirua drawing this map must, therefore, be viewed as a prime example of the ways in which explorers manipulated the commensurability of the indigenous knowledge being shared in order to secure and advance their standing as scientific practitioners.
The map provides further evidence for the fact that claims of European-style cartographic capabilities attributed to Inuit were often little more than rhetorical devices deployed by explorers in order to convey their intellectual authority over the Arctic regions.
It is one thing to take a western based colonialist narrative at face-value. But using an article that criticizes this narrative and then stripping everything critical away and repeat the colonialist narrative takes some special "skill". This is just shameful.It is clear that cartographic encounters involved appropriating indigenous knowledge – both for colonial
endeavours and for individualistic agendas – and hence cannot be interpreted as the simple transference of information from indigenous peoples into European scientific understandings that the published accounts would have us believe. It is, thus, vital to be mindful of the subtle yet pervasive processes of narrative creation which were constantly at play within these accounts or else we may run the risk of misrepresenting the complex and unequal relationships formed during these important moments of intercultural exchange.

You know what's even weirder? It was published two years after its succeeding volume. Wait what? Well, like many multi-volume histories the Oxford History of the United States (T-H-L) is not published in order. Empire of Liberty: A History of the Early Republic, 1789–1815 (T-H-L) by Gordon S. Wood (T-H-L) is volume 4, but was published 8th. If you go by publishing year instead of volume number it was published only one year after its "preceding volume" which in this case would be volume 12, From Colony to Superpower: U.S. Foreign Relations Since 1776 by George C. Herring (T-H-L).... that Empire of Liberty was published twenty-seven years after its preceding volume in the Oxford History of the United States series?
OK, first of all, this is utterly unremarkable for a late medieval English church. But second, yes, that's not what the source says, for it talks about a rood loft, which isn't the same as a screen, and the list of saints it gives is different from those on the screen. So maybe 1479, maybe not,. that the church of St James the Less, Pockthorpe (T-H-L), now the home of the Norwich Puppet Theatre, once contained a rood screen with portraits of saints painted in 1479?
What is more interesting than the fact that there was a rood screen, which as you said is completely unremarkable, is that most of the panels still exist and are part of a group of rood screens that were probably made by the same workshop, the Ranworth group, named after the Ranworth rood screen (T-H-L). The panels from Pockthorpe have been dated by dendrochronology to 1459-94 and there is a record of a donation for the screen from 1479.*Ming wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2024 2:03 pmDYK:OK, first of all, this is utterly unremarkable for a late medieval English church.

A Patu (T-H-L) is a Māori club used as a weapon and tool. But this is DYK. Let's not educate people with boring facts. Let's put the offensive, ignorant stuff on the Main Page. From the article:... that the patu clubs on the New Zealand threepence were compared to bottles of ginger beer?
The threepence were frequently likened by the public to bottles of ginger beer.[17] Defending the coins, ethnologist Johannes Andersen described the patu design as unfairly criticised by ignorant New Zealanders, and proposed that foreigners encountering the coins would learn about the country's culture from investigating the designs. Andersen, however, raised that the patu were rendered upside-down and suggested that this should be altered in future issues of the coinage.[18]
No he didn't. He finished second in the first round of the Republican primary. And he won in the second round (and later the actual election).... that Bryan Brinyark (T-H-L) finished second in an election to the Alabama House of Representatives just 15 votes behind his opponent, but later won a runoff election?
I'm somewhat surprised that there isn't more comprehensive coverage of papal bulls on Wikipedia, or for that matter other platforms like the Catholic Encyclopedia. So in principle I approve of the effort to improve the coverage. Then again this was written by a member of the DYK crowd, so I shudder with dread even before clicking the link.... that the papal bull Ad fructus uberes (T-H-L) gave friars the right to hear confessions and preach without the authorisation of secular clergy?
Small problem: Bdóte is in Minnesota. So, no. The Dakota were held in a concentration camp at Bdóte before they were forced into exile.

This has been pointed out, discussed and then ignored.Fort Snelling concentration camp wrote:While Bdote is the origin story of the Dakota people, it is also the site of their forced exile from Minnesota.[33][34] The Fort Snelling Dakota concentration camp at Bdote was a temporary holding facility for Dakota women, children, and elders who surrendered to the U.S. military after the Dakota War of 1862.[35] The camp was on the banks of the Minnesota River, near the fort. It was established in November 1862 and held about 1,700 Dakota people. The conditions in the camp were miserable, and between 130 and 300 Dakota people died died from disease and malnutrition.[36] Dakota leader Gabriel Renville wrote: "We were so crowded and confined that an epidemic broke out among us and children were dying day and night. Amid all this sickness and these great tribulations, it seemed doubtful at night whether a person would be alive in the morning".[37]
In December 1862, the U.S. military built a wooden stockade around the camp. The stockade was about 12 feet high and enclosed an area of two or three acres.[35] The Dakota people were forced to live inside the stockade and not allowed to leave. The camp was guarded by soldiers from the Sixth, Seventh, and Tenth Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiments.[35] The soldiers were responsible for controlling movement in and out of the camp.[35]
Episcopalian Bishop Henry Benjamin Whipple advocated for the imprisoned Dakota people, and Reverend John Poage Williamson, who lived among the Dakota his whole life, joined them in the ordeal and remained with them as they were exiled into South Dakota.[37] The concentration camp at Fort Snelling closed in May 1863 and the Dakota people who survived the camp were then exiled from Minnesota to the Crow Creek Reservation in South Dakota.[36]
and at OTD:... that before besieging Baghdad in 1258, the Mongol prince Hulegu Khan ended a letter to the city's ruler with the words "I will show you the meaning of the will of God"?
Siege of Bukhara (T-H-L) tops it off at TFA.1258 – The last Abbasid caliph surrendered Baghdad to the besieging Mongol army of Hulegu Khan, who later sacked the city, killing hundreds of thousands of people.
And what, to the DYK crowd, does an anti-facial recognition mask look like?... that the use of high-tech surveillance to monitor protests and identify participants has led protestors to use anti-facial recognition masks?

This isn't really an "anti-facial recognition mask". It does nothing to "confuse" facial recognition other than cover most of the face. This is a face covering popular among violent extreme right-wing groups like Atomwaffen (T-H-L).rnu wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 12:28 amDYK ...And what, to the DYK crowd, does an anti-facial recognition mask look like?... that the use of high-tech surveillance to monitor protests and identify participants has led protestors to use anti-facial recognition masks?

I'm sorry, modern? 1079?
(Then again, could be worse, could be postmodern.)Why? Because the article originally said that he was related. Also, while Wikipedia believes that he was probably not related to William the Conqueror, it seems quite convinced that his brother Simeon (abbot) (T-H-L) was.Walkelin was probably not related to William the Conqueror, whom he served as a royal chaplain.[1][2]
Seattle (T-H-L) was abolished? When did that happen? And do the people living there know? OK, so Seattle was incorporated in 1865 with a Trustee model of representation (T-H-L) and disincorporated in 1867 after which it was merely a precinct of the county. Then it was incorporated again in 1869 with a Mayor–council government (T-H-L). So much for Seattle being "abolished".... that a law banning Native Americans from living in Seattle was voided when Seattle itself was abolished?
Of course none of those details are "weird", so they don't matter to the DYK crowd.[...] the ordinance banned all Native Americans from living within the town limits of Seattle unless employed by a settler and housed immediately adjacent to their employer.
The sources for the fashion stuff exist so it's not really a case of making non-notable articles, but man I cannot fathom being so fascinated by shit that no one actually wears that you'd write entire articles about all these collections, let alone single pieces from them.rnu wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2024 5:47 pmThe mongols have been repulsed from the Main Page.

TFA is Taxi Driver (Alexander McQueen collection) (T-H-L).

And by fashion I mean stuff like this:
...and could you guess that his term in that office was 1968-1972? Ming sure did.... that W. Seavey Joyce (T-H-L)'s presidency of Boston College (T-H-L) was dominated by frequent, large student protest (T-H-L)s?
