Swell (ocean)
A swell, also sometimes referred to as ground swell, in the context of an ocean, sea or lake, is a series of mechanical waves that propagate along the interface between water and air under the predominating influence of gravity, and thus are often referred to as surface gravity waves. These surface gravity waves have their origin as wind waves, but are the consequence of dispersion of wind waves from distant weather systems, where wind blows for a duration of time over a fetch of water, and these waves move out from the source area at speeds that are a function of wave period and length. More generally, a swell consists of wind-generated waves that are not greatly affected by the local wind at that time. Swell waves often have a relatively long wavelength, as short wavelength waves carry less energy and dissipate faster, but this varies due to the size, strength, and duration of the weather system responsible for the swell and the size of the water body, and varies from event to ...

Jonn Penney
Ned's Atomic Dustbin are an English rock band formed in Stourbridge, West Midlands, in November 1987. The band took their name from an episode of radio comedy programme ''The Goon Show''. The band is unusual for using two bass-players in their line-up: Alex Griffin plays melody lines high up on one bass, and Matt Cheslin plays the regular bass lines on the other. This gives the band a tense and highly driven sub-hardcore sound featuring distorted effects-laden guitar and energetic drums. The band was formed at sixth-form college and they recorded their first album while some members were still teenagers. This led to a strong teenaged fanbase with a reputation for enjoying crowd-surfing and moshing at their gigs. The band was also noted (and occasionally ridiculed) for their early image, which consisted of uniformly crimped hair and a predilection for sporting shorts and band or skateboard T-shirts. "The Neds" (as their fans referred to them) were well known for their own distinc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ground Swell
''Ground Swell'' is a 1939 painting by American artist Edward Hopper which depicts five people on a heeling catboat in a light swell, looking at an ominous buoy. It was in the collection of the Corcoran Gallery of Art from 1943 until it was purchased by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. in 2014. Several preparatory studies are held by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. Description The painting depicts a group of young people in a boat caught in the titular ocean swell. The bright sunlit exhibits Hopper's enthusiasm for the sea, which can also be found in his other nautical paintings and seascapes – most notably his paintings of New England lighthouses such as ''Lighthouse Hill'' (1927) and ''The Long Leg'' (1930). However, a sense of isolation pervades all of these paintings. In ''Ground Swell'' specifically, the loneliness of the boat and the rather ominous presence of a buoy signify themes of impending doom.

Groundswell is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that promotes clean energy programs.

Since then, Groundswell has grown to serve the Mid Atlantic region including Georgia, Maryland, Nor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Groundswell (book)
''Groundswell'' is a book by Forrester Research executives Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff that focuses on how companies can take advantage of emerging social technologies. It was published in 2008 by Harvard Business Press. A revised edition was published in 2011. The book attempts to explain a shift in the relationship between customers and companies, in which companies are no longer able to control customers' attitudes through market research, customer service, and advertising. Instead, customers are controlling the conversation by using new media to communicate about products and companies. Synopsis The groundswell is characterized by several tactics that guide companies into using social technologies strategically and effectively. #Listening: Businesses should listen to their customers to understand what the market is looking for in their products. In order to do this, a company needs to find out if their customers are using social technologies and how they are using them. ...

This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers.

Groundswell Group
Groundswell is a coalition of prominent American conservative activists, including Virginia Thomas, who began meeting in 2013 in order to fight progressivism in the United States and the Republican Party (GOP) establishment. Groundswell went on to be influential in the White House of former president Donald Trump, conducting an effort to rid the White House and other government agencies of so-called " deep state" opponents of Trump. According to leaked documents in 2013, the group had started staging "a 30 front war seeking to fundamentally transform the nation", by such goals as undermining the power of former GOP strategist and Fox News analyst Karl Rove, along with the 2012 Benghazi attack and the Operation Fast and Furious's gun-running issue, repealing the Affordable Care Act, working behind the scenes to enact voter ID laws, and blocking Obama administration nominees. In 2021, Barbara Ledeen was named as a member of Groundswell in connection with her involvement in an unde ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
