Linear Formations
The movement away from phalanx-like formations of pike protected by handgunners towards shallow formations of handgunners protected by progessively fewer pikes. William Louis of Nassau thought that six rotating ranks of musketeers were needed to maintain a continuous fire. Gustavus Adolpus used only six ranks thanks to newly introduced drill and the professionalisation of the Swedish army under him. This kind of formation would get prgessively thinner untill its' peak in the age of Wellington with the 'Thin Red Line'. It would eventually be replaced by skirmish order at the time of the invention of the breach loading rifle that allowed the Prussians during the Franco-Prussian War to move and fire independently of the large scale formations and fight in small, mobile units.
 * Formation (military) needs a lot of expansion before we split it into separate articles. Your help could be used there. --Dystopos 15:48, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I modified your text to be more general and added it to Linear, but additional material definitely belongs at Formation (military), although the entire Category:Military tactics looks like it could use some re-organization. --Dystopos 15:57, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

George Hickenlooper
George Hickenlooper was born in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, the 15th of May, 1965. He became interested in filmaking very quickly as a child. His desire to make movies came in part from his great uncle, Leopold Stokowski's involvement in the making of the hit Disney animated film, Fantasia (1940), where Leopold was the conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra. If had only been for Great Uncle Leopold, however, George may have started a career in music. His father and mother's careers were therefor essential to his urge to become a director. His father was a playwrite, and his mother, a leader to a rebel theatre group against the War in Vietnam. The first 8mm films were animated and George made them with his friend, Kirk Wise, who would later go on to become the director of the widely popular Disney movie Beauty and the Beast. While he was in school, George Hickenlooper made short movies that were premiered on Public Television in St.Louis and Kansas City. After graduating from Yale with a B.A. of History and Film Studies in 1986, Hickenlooper interned for the producer Roger Corman, and in 1988, he started his directing career with Art, Acting, and the Suicide Chair: Dennis Hopper, which was a short documentary about Dennis Hopper, the actor or director in films such as Waterworld and Speed. The next big break was when he wrote the book, REEL CONVERSATIONS, in 1991, and in the same year when he made the movie Hearts of Darkness: A Filmaker's Apocalypse, the documentary on the making of the movie Apocalypse Now.

E-type pronoun
"E-type pronoun” approach originating with Evans and Cooper (1979).

In the context of so called [donkey sentences] (sentences such as "every farmer who owns a donkey feeds it"), the term "E-type pronouns" has been proposed. The pronoun is assumed to take on a distinctive non-quantificational reading just in case it [c-commands] an indefinite, embodying a define meaning equivalent to the donkey that x owns, the donkey or that donkey. Such accounts tend to encounter a [uniqueness problem] with respect to models in which mappings from farmers to donkeys is one-to-many, because of the uniqueness presupposition of the definite.

This is a linguistic stub which may eventually be an article about E-type pronouns.
 * Normally, things which have merely been proposed have no claim of notability until the proposal is generally accepted. --Dystopos 14:54, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Natural singing
Natural singing is the act of producing musical sounds with the voice in a pure natural way. These sounds are vibrating naturally and the sound is warm and totally relaxed.

This natural singing has been discouvered at the university of Ghent ( Belgium ) and Leiden ( Netherlands ) about 1970.

The natural singing is the result of holding the diaphagm low and large as long as possible with a wide open belly.

This natural breathing is the ordinary breathing of a healthy person in the most relaxed position, laying down. ( some people call it the baby-breath but that baby-breath is too fast )

The difference between natural singing and speech is the vibrato.

We can speek on different tunes like we can sing on different tunes, but the vibrato makes the only real difference, the real contrast.

Air is not expelled with the diaphragm but the diaphragm is hold down with the muscles of the belly ( abdomen ) and the belt.

Someone who sings naturally is called a natural singer or a singer.

All the others shrill, shout, yell, scream, squeal, cry or bark, caused by pushing on expiration, expelling the air.

A true natural singer balances the head and the breast resonance to get a complete voice sound.

Together with an adapted diction for singers every word can be understood by the audience.

A soar throat is the result of bad singing, but natural singers don't know this frequent voice problem because of the health of their voices.

Anyone who can speak can sing, since in many respects singing is merely sustained speech. It can be informal and just for pleasure, for example, singing in the shower; or it can be very formal, such as singing done professionally in a performance or in a recording studio.

Singing is often done in a group, such as a choir, and may be accompanied by musical instruments, a full orchestra, or a band. Singing with no instrumental accompaniment is usually called a cappella.

Natural singing in a combination with dancing is impossible because of the shivering diaphragm.

The film industry makes us believe that is possible but they record the two disciplines at different times.

Singing and dancing can never be performed at the same time.

Many people consider the ability to sing to be a learned skill, but there are a few native singers.

Natural singing is not only a music element, but also a wellness component.

The International School for Singing and Breathing ( Melle - Belgium )is the innovator, the pioneer in this matter.

International School for Singing and Breathing
The International School for Singing and Breathing was founded by Professor Léon-Bernard Giot in Melle near Ghent in 1971. This school learns people how to breathe naturally to protect their voices against any damage. Speaking, blowing ( music instrument ) and singing have the same base : a natural breathing.
