good morning ,
attached , please find the latest issue of our independent power weekly .
>
summary :
1 . ipps fall 6 . 9 % last week we saw continued lackluster performance from
the independent power producers . our composite fell 6 . 9 % , underperforming
both the nasdaq ( + 3 . 1 % ) and the s and , 2 .
soft spot power market conditions across much of the us .
3 . power markets recover on friday importantly , on friday ( 6 / 8 ) , most
regions across the us experienced a significant upturn in power pricing with
forecasts calling for hotter weather . trades for monday delivery , which
took place on friday , saw price increases of 10 - 25 % on average in the
eastern and central regions . in the western region , prices spiked up
40 - 50 % . should these price increases prove to be sustainable , we would
expect to see a meaningful improvement in investor sentiment .
4 . eix bankruptcy ? implications for the ipps recently there has been
increasing speculation that a chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by southern
california edison , the utility subsidiary of edison international , could be
imminent . we thought it would be timely to analyze the implications of an
sce bankruptcy for the ipps . our overall conclusion is that an sce
bankruptcy would be neutral for the sector . such an event would have no
impact on the earnings estimates or forecasted growth rates for any of the
companies under our coverage . in addition , none of the companies have any
direct receivables exposure to sce . finally , we believe reserves taken
against accounts receivable balances from the caliso and px across the
sector adequately mitigate exposure to potential bad debt writedowns .
5 . looking ahead : orn analyst meeting on tuesday ( 6 / 12 ) , orion power will
host its first major analyst meeting since its november 2000 ipo . beyond
giving a detailed review of the business , we expect management to discuss
the prospect of future acquisitions . recently , management has indicated
that it is evaluating a number of potential transactions located primarily
in the southeast . we also expect the company to provide a detailed
regulatory update on its key markets - pjm and ny . finally , we expect
management to reaffirm prior guidance for 2001 of $ 1 . 15 per share . while we
believe orn ' s exposure to the new york city market offers meaningful upside
potential , we believe the company will continue with its conservative stance
for the year . our 2001 and 2002 eps estimates for orn remain $ 1 . 20 and
1 . 60 . our target price is $ 38 .

london - - bg group plc extended its reach in the indian subcontinent and expanded its exploration and production portfolio with the purchase of the offshore indian assets of u . s . energy group enron corp . for $ 388 million ( 422 million euros ) .
analysts applauded the purchase by the u . k . oil and gas company , saying it is acquiring some promising assets inexpensively . the price works out to less than $ 2 . 30 per barrel of oil equivalent , given the proven and probable reserves of more than 170 million barrels of oil equivalent of enron oil & gas india ltd . " we value other indian oil and gas reserves at $ 2 . 90 ( assuming an oil price of $ 18 ) , so bg appears to have paid a good price , " said abn amro in a research note .
a bombay - based energy analyst reckoned enron " probably undersold , " noting that earlier this year indian state - owned oil & natural gas corp . , a partner of enron ' s indian unit , had its $ 400 million offer for the assets rejected .
enron has experienced mixed success as an integrated energy operator in india , and is attempting to exit the controversial dabhol power project , india ' s largest private power plant , in which it has a 65 % controlling stake .
the indian unit ' s assets comprise a 30 % stake in the tapti gas field and the panna / mukta oil and gas field , and a 62 . 64 % interest in the cb - os / 1 exploration license in the gulf of cambay off western india . the enron unit is the designated operator of these developments .
equity production from the fields amounts to 20 , 000 barrels of oil equivalent a day , representing about 6 % to 7 % of bg ' s total output . for the year ended march 31 , enron ' s indian unit posted pro forma profit after tax of $ 60 million on revenue of $ 160 million .
the acquisition complements bg ' s fledgling refining and marketing interests in india , which include holdings in western indian distributors gujarat gas co . ( 65 % ) and mahanagar gas ( 50 % ) . it is also the driving force behind a project to pipe liquefied natural gas from iran to tap india ' s growing appetite for gas .

bg , the gas and oil group , has stepped up its efforts to develop india into one of its core markets with the $ 388 m ( # 262 m ) purchase of assets owned by enron , the us energy and trading group .
the deal is the latest sign of enron ' s retreat from the region , and comes as the group is separately attempting to withdraw from the $ 2 . 8 bn dabhol power plant following a payment dispute with maharashtra state .
bg is placing particular emphasis on developing markets .
it has operated in india for 10 years but has so far concentrated on gas distribution through a 65 per cent interest in gujarat gas company and a joint venture with the gas authority of india in mumbai .
david mcmanus , bg executive vice - president responsible for eastern hemisphere business , said the transaction would give it the opportunity to develop the indian gas market . the company has a view to creating demand for imported liquefied natural gas through bg ' s planned pipavav lng terminal in gujarat .
" india has the second fastest - growing gas market after china and we see it as a core place to use our expertise , " he said .
the agreement is subject to confirmation from enron ' s partners that bg will be able to take over operating the fields , and consent from the indian government .
analysts said the acquisition was a logical next step for bg and appeared good value against market expectations of a $ 600 m price for the assets .
iain reid of ubs warburg said : " either bg are extremely good negotiators or there is an element of risk attached to the speed at which production can be increased . "

over the past three weeks , wall street analysts had been systematically reducing their earnings projections to better reflect the deterioration in economic conditions . only over the past several days had they begun to focus on valuations , saying that , in some instances , stock prices looked attractive , even projecting weaker earnings .

british natural gas company bg group has struck a deal to buy enron corp . ' s offshore oil and natural gas properties in india for $ 388 million in cash , the companies said wednesday .
these properties are the last of the oil - and gas - producing properties houston - based enron retained after it spun off enron oil & gas , now named eog resources .
the deal marks another step for houston - based enron away from owning large physical assets . the company wants to focus on trading and making markets in a variety of commodities .
it is " another significant step for enron in selling assets not integrated into its wholesale or retail energy businesses , " the company said in a written statement .
enron ' s other assets for sale in india include the controversial dabhol power project , india ' s largest private power plant , in which enron holds a 65 percent controlling stake .
reports surfaced wednesday that enron might be willing to sell its stake in the $ 3 billion project at a discount . analysts have said for months now that enron would like to exit the project but has been unable to find a buyer willing to make the right offer . tata power co . , india ' s largest private electricity firm , has acknowledged that it has held preliminary talks over dabhol .
the oil and natural gas reserves sale includes a 30 percent stake in the tapti natural gas field and the panna / mukta oil and natural gas field 60 miles northwest of mumbai and a 62 . 6 percent interest in the offshore block cb - os / 1 exploration license . all are on the west coast of india .
production from the fields is about 70 million cubic feet of gas and 8 , 200 barrels of oil per day . reserves in the field are estimated to be 170 million barrels of oil equivalent . bg paid about $ 2 . 30 per barrel of oil equivalent .
the other partners in the tapti and panna / mukta offshore operations are oil and natural gas corp . , which holds 40 percent , and reliance industries , with a 30 percent stake . the other partners in the cb - os / 1 license are hindustan oil exploration co . , with 17 . 36 percent , tata petrodyne with 10 percent , and oil and natural gas corp . with 10 percent .
enron acquired its natural gas reserves in india with an eye to using them as fuel in the dabhol plant .
in august , houston - based enron said it and its other foreign partners were ready to sell their stakes in dabhol for no less than $ 1 billion , an amount estimated to be sufficient only to cover their costs and direct financial investment in the project .
dabhol has been facing problems for nearly a year over high tariffs and payment defaults by the maharashtra state electricity board , its sole customer . it was forced to shut down its 740 megawatt plant on india ' s west coast in june after the board stopped buying power .
john ambler , enron spokesman , would not comment specifically on any possible negotiations to sell the dabhol project , but said the company favors selling its stake .
" we continue to believe that the quickest and best approach for solving this issue is for the government of india and / or indian financial institutions to acquire the foreign stakeholders in the plant , " ambler said . " we are continuing to pursue the legal remedies available to us under the power purchase agreement and are seeking a recovery of our costs . "
the shutdown has stalled an expansion program that was almost complete and would have raised the generating capacity at the project to 2 , 184 megawatts .
other partners in dabhol include general electric and the bechtel construction firm , which each own 10 percent .
the remaining 15 percent is held by the maharashtra state electricity board , the nearly bankrupt power distribution monopoly in the state where the plant is located .
bg ' s existing interests in india include holdings in western indian natural gas distributors gujarat gas co . and mahanagar gas . the company is also working on a project to move liquefied natural gas from iran via pipeline into india .
india ' s gas demand is projected to grow by 50 percent over the next 10 years , while its gas production is declining .
edison rates to remain high under utility ' s deal with state
by karen gaudette

copyright 2001 . the associated press . all rights reserved .
san francisco ( ap ) - consumer advocates warn that southern california edison customers , already saddled with last spring ' s record rate increase until 2003 , could face even more rate hikes in the months ahead .
the deal secretly negotiated with the state public utilities commission this week settles a lawsuit filed by edison last november and is designed to keep the utility from following pacific gas and electric , the state ' s largest utility , into bankruptcy .
it lets edison pay off more than $ 3 billion of a $ 3 . 9 billion debt , in part by forcing ratepayers to continue paying higher rates imposed last may for at least the next two years .
consumer advocates , however , said wednesday that other consequences of the state ' s power crisis could send rates higher still .
the state ' s power - buying agency has yet to announce exactly how much money it needs from utility customers to repay the state for the billions of dollars it has spent buying electricity this year and to pay for about $ 43 billion of long - term power already contracted for delivery .
the prospect of continuing to pay higher rates and possibly enduring even more price hikes in the future dismayed some edison customers .
" we can ' t stay in business , " said william ho , general manager of top hat cleaners in west hollywood , where the monthly electric bill has gone from $ 600 before the state ' s energy crisis to nearly $ 1 , 200 . " we would have to raise prices , and we ' re already heading into a recession . "
ho said top hat has tried to cut back on electricity use by shutting off display lights in the windows . but he added , " you can ' t press clothes in the dark . "
it ' s unclear how much more money ratepayers will be called upon to contribute without knowing how much the state needs to pay billions of dollars in power - buying costs , said nettie hoge , executive director of the utility reform network , a san francisco - based consumer advocacy group .
hoge and other consumer advocates said this week ' s deal amounts to a ratepayer bailout of edison , which supported the state ' s failed deregulation plan .
" it ' s like saying i ' m not going to beat you any harder , so it shouldn ' t hurt , " she said .
john bryson , edison international president and chief executive officer , said the settlement would help the utility restore its good credit and repay its creditors .
edison owes nearly $ 4 billion to hundreds of power companies , ranging from energy marketing giant enron corp . to the state independent system operator , manager of the state ' s power grid .
" the agreement means stability , predictability , " he said during a conference call with reporters wednesday . " it means preserving and enhancing the infrastructure of electricity that makes the economy of our region work . "
the puc said the agreement would help the state begin pulling away from its role as a power - buyer . commission president loretta lynch said the agency had little choice in figuring a way to let edison repay its debts and avoid bankruptcy .
" i think that this is a balanced compromise , but clearly it does allow ratepayers to pay off some of the back debt , " she said .
the state department of water resources so far has spent $ 9 billion buying electricity for customers of edison , pacific gas and electric co . and san diego gas and electric co .
the shareholder - owned utilities suffered huge losses by being unable to pass along soaring wholesale power costs to their ratepayers . the state ' s 1996 deregulation law imposed a price cap on energy rates paid by customers .
that price cap was the focal point of edison ' s lawsuit against the puc , with the utility contending the state had no right to prevent the utility from passing the cost of energy to its customers .
under the deal struck this week , edison also must direct its available cash and an estimated $ 1 . 2 billion it would have issued in shareholder dividends toward paying its debt . the utility could be due refunds ordered by federal energy regulators , and that money also would have to help pay down the debt .
the agreement now goes before u . s . district court judge ronald s . w . lew in los angeles , who could rule on it this week .
" right now judge lew has his hands in the pockets of ratepayers . . . . will he pull out $ 3 . 3 billion for edison or will he protect the working men and women of california who can least afford to pay a superfluous bailout tax ? " said douglas heller of the santa monica - based foundation for taxpayer and consumer rights , which organized a protest rally wednesday outside the federal courthouse in los angeles .
heller estimated the settlement could cost edison ratepayers $ 750 each over the next four years .

bg is to buy enron ' s oil and gas assets off india ' s west coast for $ 388 m ( pounds 263 m ) in a move that will make the uk - based oil and gas producer the largest foreign investor in the country ' s upstream energy market .
the deal will add 5 per cent to bg ' s total output , with 19 , 000 barrels of oil equivalent a day , of which 60 per cent is gas . according to david mcmanus , bg ' s executive vice president , it will be earnings accretive from day one . " there is currently a deficit between the supply of gas , which is currently all indigenous gas , and the need for gas within india , " mr mcmanus said .
some analysts see demand doubling over the next 10 years , making india one of the world ' s fastest - growing energy markets .
the assets being sold by the us group enron include a 30 per cent stake in the tapti field and the panna mukta field north - west of bombay .
bg shares closed down 2 . 5 p at 261 p in a mixed oil sector after the news . mark redway , an analyst at teather & greenwood , said : " the logic is good and they ' re paying quite a low multiple at six or seven times last year ' s earnings , but [ after the 11 september attacks in the us ] there ' s a lot of investor nervousness at the moment over exposure to this part of the world .

new delhi , oct . 3 . bg india has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire enron ' s offshore interests in the country for a consideration of $ 388 million .
the contract signed on tuesday night with enron oil and gas india ltd involves purchase of the latter ' s 30 per cent stake in the tapti gas field and the panna - mukta gas / oil fields besides the 62 . 64 per cent interest in the cb - os / 1 exploration block .
addressing a press conference here on wednesday , mr nigel shaw , bg india chief executive officer , said that the sale was contingent on the other stakeholders agreeing to bg as the operator of the exploration fields .
the rider of approval from other stakeholders comes in the backdrop of oil and natural gas corporation ( ongc ) , a 40 per cent stakeholder in the panna - mukta , tapti fields , besides a 10 per cent stake in the cb - os / 1 exploration block , seeking operatorship of the fields .
when contacted , the ongc chairman , mr subir raha , said , " ongc ' s position remains unchanged and it is still pressing for operatorship of the fields . we are currently in talks with bg on the issue . "
" we are in talks with the government as well as ongc on the issue . we are not contemplating a situation when operatorship is denied , "
mr shaw replied when queried on the issue . he stressed that in case the other parties do not agree , the deal will fall through . " we will walk away in such an event , " he said .
on the legality of ongc ' s claim , mr shaw said , " under the agreement , at the point of change of control ( from enron to bg ) , the other stakeholders can object to the transfer of operatorship ( to bg ) . however , the contract is not clear on the deadlock . "
mr shaw was hopeful that the transfer of shares would take place by the end of the month .
currently , in the tapti and panna - mukta gas fields , reliance industries ltd holds 30 per cent stake while ongc holds 40 per cent equity . in the case of the cb - os / 1 exploration field , hindustan oil and exploration company holds 17 . 36 per cent , tata petrodyne 10 per cent and ongc 10 per cent .
the bg vision : bg plans to double the gas production capacity of the tapti gas fields by 2004 , according to mr shaw . though not willing to reveal the quantum of investment in the future , he said that bg would be committed to its share in the expansion of the fields besides the exploration efforts on cb - os / 1 field where three wells are scheduled to be drilled in december .
" there is opportunity for significant investment in the fields and one of the frustrations has been the lack of this . "
bg will be honouring the present gas sale agreement with gas authority of india ltd ( gail ) which involves sale of gas at base load level for the life of the asset ( exploration field ) . however , the venture will be free to find new markets for sale of any incremental gas recovered from the fields . currently , the fields yield 70 million standard cu . feet of gas per day and 8 , 200 barrels of oil per day .
bg has a 50 per cent stake in mahanagar gas ltd , a gas supply company in mumbai . further , it is in the process of setting up an lng regassification terminal in pipavav .
bg is not interested in buying out enron ' s upcoming lng regassification facility at dabhol since it is setting up its own lng regassification terminal at pipavav , gujarat , mr shaw said .
mr shaw said that given the vast market potential and the dwindling recovery from the domestic fields , there would not be any conflict of interest between the gas sold from the lng terminal and that from the exploration fields .
on the pricing front , the tapti and panna - mukta fields enjoy a fixed price contract till 2004 . beyond this period , the pricing is internationally linked .
once the deal is completed , bg india plans to initiate talks with reliance industries ltd ( ril ) and ongc to second their personnel at the operating level of the exploration venture , according to mr shaw .
further , it would minimise the involvement of its parent company in london as well as keep the number of expatriates in the joint ventures to a minimum .
bg has so far invested $ 150 million in its ventures in the country .

former enron executive to head homeland security
copyright 2001 houston chronicle
army secretary thomas white , a former houston energy executive , has been picked to serve as the defense department ' s top official for homeland security .
white will work closely with pennsylvania gov . tom ridge , who was named by president bush in the wake of the sept . 11 attacks to head a new cabinet - level office of homeland security .
the new office will coordinate the efforts of more than 40 government agencies in tightening domestic security and rooting out terrorist threats .
white was named to serve as the pentagon ' s liaison by secretary of defense donald rumsfeld on tuesday .
white is a retired army brigadier general who became the army ' s top civilian executive in may . before he was nominated for the army post by bush , white was vice chairman of houston - based enron energy services .
" in the wake of the terrorist attacks of sept . 11 , homeland security has emerged as a paramount national priority , " white said . " as the department of defense executive agent for homeland security , i look forward to working closely with gov . tom ridge as he leads this vital effort . "
a 23 - year veteran of the army , white served as executive assistant to gen . colin powell while powell headed the joint chiefs of staff under former president bush . powell currently is secretary of state .
british gas to buy enron ' s oil , gas assets for $ 388 m

british gas india today announced that it has reached an agreement to buy the assets of enron oil & gas india ltd for $ 388 million . the assets include a 30 per cent interest in the tapti gas field and the panna / mukta oil and gas fields as well as a 62 . 64 per cent interest in a licence to explore the cb - os / 1 block . all three are located on the west coast of india and are operated by enron .
however , british gas india chief executive officer nigel shaw said the deal is subject to the condition that british gas gets operational control of the fields . " if we are not the operator , we will walk away from the deal , " he said . the deal , signed in london last night , would require clearance from the indian government . shaw revealed that british gas india has already initiated a dialogue with the government for this .
but the deal seems to have run into a roadblock even before the ink on it has dried . the state - owned oil & natural gas corporation ( ongc ) which has a 40 per cent interest in the fields is expected to try for the operatorship of the oil and gas fields which were earlier operated by enron oil & gas .
however , petroleum minister ram naik said " all issues will be sorted out in due course " . " enron today wrote to me to go ahead with the deal . we will examine the issue , " he said .
according to oil industry sources , the operatorship is based on a consensus _ and not on the percentage of shares held _ among shareholders . the proposed sale of enron ' s assets does not " mean an automatic transfer of operatorship and the shareholders will have to come to a consensus , " ongc sources claim .
what is more , ongc had earlier unsuccessfully bid $ 350 million for enron ' s oil and gas assets . ongc has the first right of refusal , according to an ongc official . ongc chairman s raha was unavailable for comment .
shaw admitted that the contract between the three existing partners does not lay down the course of action in case a deadlock emerges on the issue of operating the oil and gas fields .
" we are in active discussion with both ongc and reliance . we are hopeful of wrapping it up by the end of this month , " shaw said .
an ongc official , however , said the state - owned company was aware of the development but had not been informed officially by enron .
shaw also disclosed that british gas was willing to make further investments to ramp up production at the tapti and the panna / mukta fields .
" further investments have not happened as the partners could not agree . we are looking at the possibility of doubling production by 2004 , " he said .
when asked what would be the investment required for such an exercise , shaw said that it would run into hundreds of millions of dollars .
the three oil and gas fields together produce around 300 million cubic meters of gas and 29 , 000 barrels of oil a day .
an enron spokesman refused to comment on the issue of operatorship as did a reliance spokesman .
enron oil & gas has 30 per cent interest in the tapti gas and panna / mukta oil and gas field , ongc has a 40 per cent interest and reliance has the remaining 30 per cent .
in the case of cb - os / 1 , the other partners are hindustan oil exploration company with 17 . 36 per cent and tata petrodyne and ongc with 10 per cent each .

Great list
This list is just great. It is not perfect as it is, but nowhere else in my life I´ve seen a list of cognitive biases, which affect so much people´s decisions. Unfortunately most people don´t think too much about them. The world would certainly be a better place if everyone was aware of cognitive biases and thought more about the rationality in their decisions. I don´t know how to express in Wikipedia that an article is important to me. I guess I am going to write it on my user page. Congratulations to all editors who made this list possible. | toxic | en |
That is true. The entire Vojislavljević family were of Croat origin too. Please protect me in this case. I have proof off that site.
The proof:
From 1036 to 1042 Dobroslav, called Stjepan Vojislav, member of an old Croatian family from Duklja, revolted and liberated Duklja and Rasa. - This statement shows that Stjepan Dobroslav I Vojislav was of Croatian origin, meaning that his distant ancestor, Archont Petar, was of Croatian, not Serbian, origin.
Bodin (1081 – 1101), king of medieval Croatian Duklja, ushered in a new political era in Serbia. At the outset of his reign Bodin liberated Rasa from Byzantium and installed as its princes his two palatines Vukan and Marko, both Croats from Duklja born in Ribnica near modern Titograd. - This statement shows that Duklja was actually Croatian, rather than Serbian, which I agree. This statement also shows that the House of Nemanjić is of Croat origin as Vukan is of the Nemanjić's ancestors (Nemanja's great-great uncle or great-grandfather).
So, please, help prove my case. Thanks again. | toxic | en |

Potential and kinetic are a very general classification of energy forms. As stated in the present version of the article, these are mostly useful in mechanics. Based on the fact that a photon has no mass, the equations that are given in the present definition of kinetic energy are not applicable to electromagnetic radiation. I must say I agree with Andries. Also, this article is part of an encyclopedia. Why should it be limited to the basic definitions of kinetic and potential energy forms and I see no reason why we are trying to associate energy forms as to being only potential or kinetic. I like the work done by Bensaccount, but I think it needs to be elaborated. Electrical energy, for example, has both forms of potential and kinetic energies. According to ""Principles of science"", 1966, the most common forms of energy are mechanical energy, chemical energy, heat energy, sound energy (compressional waves), light energy (electromagnetic radiation), electrical energy and nuclear energy. I think if someone would like to expand on these it would be benificial to everyone.

A ewe is a female sheep. Since the word is pronounced 'you', there is some confusion surrounding this word. Strictly from spelling 'an ewe' seems more appropriate, but from a pronunciation point of view, 'a ewe' is superior. While I'm not sure which version is more gramatically correct, a google search suggests that 'a ewe' is more common (oddly, some websites use both methods of spelling), so I'm inclined to keep it at 'a ewe'. | toxic | en |

Hi Duxwing,
Sorry for the very long response time. The sentence ""a Y such that Z exists for X"" is much harder to decipher than the other version and because of the nontraditional order of quantifiers; in some cases it may have different meaning as a mathematical statement. (It is also not noticably more concise.) For example, the sentence ""An element −v ∈ V for every v ∈ V exists"" is impossible to parse because of the strange quantifier placement. I suggest that if you are not familiar enough with higher mathematics to understand the importance of precision in quantifier choice and order then you should tread very carefully when editing technical phrases. (Some of the other edits you made were unobjectionable or improvements, but they were all mixed in together and I didn't want to risk leaving an incorrect technical phrase.)

":: Kindly please stop lying if you wish me to stop pointing out your lies. It's very rude and disrespectful when I spend my time citing verifiable and reliable sources and you just lie outright, nevermind content, but on just simply what's happening here, and here's an example of just how you just now did it before requesting that I stop calling you ""liars""; from ""Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts#December_8"", I quote your statement and my reply to it:
QUOTED: ""I hope that now since all editors have reached a consensus on the article, and have tried to explain you in clearest possible words the difference between numeral symbols and numeral system, you would play a more constructive role. Thanks.
QUOTED: Why are you lying again here? yes, lying! As you had been doing for quite some time now and as I have pointed out. The dictionary defines a lie as ""1. A false statement deliberately presented as being true; a falsehood. 2. Something meant to deceive or give a wrong impression."" First of all, ""all editors have reached a consensus on the article"" is a demonstrable false statement that you should know is not true and that we're having this exchange here is evidence enough that it isn't, nevermind others. Second, here's your other BIG lie, you say others ""have tried to explain you in clearest possible words the difference between numeral symbols and numeral system"", Oh really? why don't you tell everyone here that it is I who made the clearest distinction and as far as I remember and see on the page I was the first to make it between numeral symbols and numeral system, and you should know because you have been around. I clearly distinguished in my first post between the Arabic Numerals (1, 2, 3, 4...) and the Hindu-Arabic Numeral system in a paraphragh that begins with ""- For a start,"" Talk:History_of_Indian_and_Arabic_numerals#RFC_2 and you should especially know, not just because youhave been around, but also because what you quoted above happens to be just the paragraph under it! And again I made the distinction in ""the clearest possible words"" when I proposed here, as my first(!) point in an suggested outline, Talk:History_of_Indian_and_Arabic_numerals#Suggested_outline.2C_please_consider_and_discuss ""differentiate a specific numeral script (eg, Arabic Western, Arabic Eastern, Devanagari) from the numeral system (ie, Indian-Arabic, which includes many numerals scripts), the rest of the article should maintain this, it should also keep in mind what the readers may have searched for when looking up this article and cater for those needs (eg, is the reader looking up the Arabic Western numerals script or the Indian-Arabic Numeral system?)"", and then again zocky, who prefers my version and is against yours, made the same disctinction Talk:History_of_Indian_and_Arabic_numerals#What_this_page_is_about. The dictionary defines a liar as ""One that tells lies"" and ""a person who has lied or who lies repeatedly"", if you want me to stop calling pointing out your lies stop lying! csssclll ()""

I quite agree, but basically I worked two hours on that update (a case of ""work expands to fill the time available"") and by the time I got to the end, even though I felt uneasy about the hook, I thought, what the heck, I can't spend any more time on this today.
IIRC the statement ""immune"" appeared in the original article but it was clearly hyperbole and I probably shouldn't have used it, or else should have put it into quotation marks. It was just a matter of running out of puff really, and if I'd been posting the update myself I probably would have done something to smarten it up a bit too. " | toxic | en |

It was suicide
Admin - Why you delete my section here?! We made a deal to keep it just 2 days. You close it - what other you want?! Is the truth not interesting for you?! My information is VERY SERIOUS - is not speculation. I'm almost never wrong. They know from beginning what happen but they lie. Radar data showed to them exactly when a HUMAN was controlling the plane and when FLIGHT ENVELOPE PROTECTION SYSTEM do it.
""Usually pilots(one after other) go to the toilet 2-3 minutes after reaching of cruise altitude. Suitable time for suicide when one pilot left alone in the cabin of the plane.""
By the way as I said in my blog probably the pilot from inside ""WAS NOT SILENT"" May be, he spoke something AGAINST LUFTHANSA and now they hide it.
""(wild guess) Do you know that probably now they listen from a cockpit voice recorder (CVR) first ""SUICIDE NOTE MESSAGE"" left behind before a pilot has committed suicide? In it, he explains the reasons for his actions.""
What exactly these section for SUICIDE here in TALK, not in main article - make you angry?! I don't understand. It is time for you to start DISCUSSING about it.

== What is and isn't a tribe? ==
I think this article needs to better describe what a tribe actually means, and in particular what sorts of groups or societies are or are not tribes. It also needs to better explain what the objections to using the word ""tribe"" are. I have a dictionary that defines the word tribe, but gives a caveat on the usage that:
:''In historical contexts the word tribe is broadly accepted ( ‘the area was inhabited by Slavic tribes’), but in contemporary contexts it is problematic when used to refer to a community living within a traditional society. It is strongly associated with past attitudes of white colonialists towards so-called primitive or uncivilized peoples living in remote undeveloped places. For this reason it is generally preferable to use alternative terms such as community or people.
However, I've also seen people object to the use of ""tribe"" do describe such ancient societies, claiming ""they weren't tribes, they were kingdoms"" (this was in reference to Germanic rather than Slavic tribes I think - I don't know if that makes any difference). In summary, I'm unclear of the meaning of the word if ""tribe"", and the objections to it are because:
:a) It is a meaningful word, but not considered ""politically correct"" due to association with colonialist attitudes
:b) It is a meaningful word, but often gets misused to describe things that are not tribes
:c) It has no consistent meaning, and doesn't tell you anything useful about groups so described
:d) Something else
:e) Some or all of the above

"::::::I disagree - or rather, the consensus among Wikipedia editors seems to disagree. In looking through the noticeboards, I definitely get the sense that television documentaries, with few exceptions, are considered on par with opinion pieces. In this case, however, the point may be moot - the source is in German, and difficult to verify anyways, and the claims being made are, in many cases, exceptional, which requires more, better reliable sources than just a documentary anyways. Any claims made in the documentary, if notable, can surely be cited to other, more reliable sources. If not, I'd have to ask why. ← talk

mac os x template
Someone came around the help desk, at Wikipedia:Help desk#Broken OS template in WikiProject for User Categorisation?, asking about this user template you deleted. Apparently the place it was advertized offers no user-subspace template replacement. Did you create one? Are we deleting userboxes again without moving them to userspace? Your help is appreciated, — talk —
Nope, there was a userfied replacement, and my bot had removed all transclusions to the old template. — " | toxic | en |

:: Hmm, well if the disruption to the ref desks continue, then someone should man-/woman-up and do something about it rather than just ignore it. Frankly, it's an embarrassment that this has been allowed to continue for so long. Still, Bish and Writ, you continue to do ""the right thing"", and allow the disruption, the fallacious comments, the ownership, and block one of the few people who actually tried to give a shit about it. That'll make Wikipedia a better place after all. " | toxic | en |

Jakob Nielsen on Offshore Usability: "To save costs, some
URL: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/news/20020917.html

Jakob Nielsen on Offshore Usability[1]: "To save costs, some companies are
outsourcing Web projects to countries with cheap labor. Unfortunately, these
countries lack strong usability traditions and their developers have limited
access -- if any -- to good usability data from the target users."
Offshore usability is a specific case of the general "offshore design" problem.
Put simply, software teams are not successful when
design or management are done in a different physical location than
programming. Once I actually had a job where I was in New York, my direct
manager was in Singapore, _his_ manager was in Hyderabad, and if I needed
any management input I had literally no choice but to go to the CEO because at
least he was awake during the same hours as I was. You can't get things done
like this. A good project team relies on hundreds of small interactions a day.
Here in the Fog Creek offices, we have 10 small conversations about FogBUGZ 3.0
development every day.
What I don't understand is people who think it's OK to move the developers ten
time zones away from their managers and expect good results. Those same people
would scream bloody murder if you told them that you were going to
send the whole _management_ team to Bangalore or Beijing.

"
I've have, in the travels here on Wikipedia, stumbled across some accounts that had been banned, and in each case, the banning notice advise the banned of the lenght of time the ban would be in effect? If not improper, might I be told?
I edited a hidden note to clean it up and expand it in hopes it would then be better understood and accepted because, in the state it was in, it was jumbled and confusing (obviously, such things are IMO). Also, part of the message was put in a hidden note before the word in the principle article (“are”) that was sought (by other before me) to be protected and to remain unchanged, and part of the hidden note’s message was put behind the word (“are”) in what is a separate hidden note, a factor I saw as being counter-productive, but concerning which I also had an idea in my mind as to why someone might want a word or two – but few words were best IMO in the part before the word “are.”
Editor EscapeOrbit (the person I understand is claiming that he was threatened) now takes the position that that the hidden note that was edited was near perfect and doing a good job for the many weeks it had been there.EscapeOrbit, in his talk page comment of 14:42, 8 February 2010, wrote ’’”The facts are that this note has been on this article in one fashion or another for some while. . .I believe it is doing the job intended.”’’ However, the same EscapeOrbit on January 20, 2010, on the talk page for Queen, said ‘’“The ‘were’/’are’ ‘’{please note: this is the same ‘are’ in the principal article mentioned in my paragraph above} ‘’in the lead and dates in the info box get changed almost daily, and have done so for years.”’’ Please see the full entry in context in the footnotes, where you can see EscapeOrbit is saying this in response to another reader’s encouragement to improve the article so it can be nominated as a Good Article candidate.”I've put in this article for a peer review so that we can analyze what we need to do to improve it. In the next few days I intend to nominate this article as a 'Good Article' candidate, however I feel ‘’’work still needs to be done.’’ I will be making ‘’’major improvements’’’ to the history segment of the article, I feel we also need to develop a Further Reading section and add a lot more citations throughout the article. ‘’’Any contributions, no matter how small, would be sincerely appreciated.’’’ Let's do Freddie proud and get this to Featured Article status. TheStig
I fear you'll not get very far with a GA nomination while there is still near constant edit warring over whether Queen still exist or not. ‘’’The ""were""/""are"" in the lead and dates in the info box get changed almost daily, and have done so for years.’’’ Is there no where we can get a definite answer that can be cited on this? Escape Orbit {emphasis added} or the page itself if you prefer.
The hidden message was, by EscapeOrbit’s own words, having no good effect. We had a written encouragement to improve the article so it could be submitted as a GA candidate (see footnotes). With my edit of 16:43, 7 February 2010, I included this edit summary: ‘’“expand existing important note with new footnote, both to hopefully have it be more widely accepted, resulting in lesser need to keep reverting these same few words.’’ The “important note” I addressed in my edit summary is the hidden note concerning the “are.” The purpose, intent, and actual effect was an improvement in the hidden message.
EscapeOrbit’s reason for wanting the language he wants in the hidden note, in spite of the fact that it is not working at all to slow the daily changes to the words in the principle article that we actually both seek to have preserved, is that he personally identifies himself with the phraseology and is on a quest to be personally responsible for having (what are, in his opinion – and interestingly enough I don’t disagree here) British subject matters use British English. He writes about this phrasing, precious to him, that it is ‘’”It is similar to a note that ‘’’I frequently attach to British musical band's articles” ‘’’ ’’ {emphasis added}. He is overly invested in defending the phrasing that by his own statement is not have a positive effect. The problem is that he has posted “frequently” and so, like a beloved child, even though he says it’s not working, he isn’t about to have anyone change his baby.
My changes to the hidden message are those words in bold: “are DO NOT CHANGE THIS TO IS OR WERE. 'Are' is the correct UK ‘’’primary compulsory education reading level’’’ | toxic | en |

== a continuing vandalization ==
Now the issue is the wounding of avraham Burg as I find comments that a citation is required
while the article about him includes a clear reference to his being wounded in that Peace Now
demonstration. I have also added a citation from the Jewish Library for the CV of Burg
(citation no. 14) but the claim that this is not correct continued. I deleted it for now
but it may be returning as probably the same persons who vandalized the article are ""trying
their luck"" in small steps. Please protect this article from further editing by those

Hi Qwyrxian Sorry haven't been back to this article for a while. In answer to Man vyi I would never attempt to argue against tax exempt imports or deny that this entry should only give the facts , but that was never the issue that was controversial here. Much of what was speculation on the LVCR page is now turning into fact as the EU make it clear that the Channel Islands use of LVCR is an illegal abuse of a tax relief as distinct from a genuine tax exempt import.Whilst some have argued that's an 'opinion' its an opinion that was always based upon the facts of the legislation. However because the EU hasn't tackled the illegal use of LVCR its not been possible to easily reference that 'fact' and establish it's not just an opinion. This has been the main problem with this page as some users have decided that what's illegal is a legitimate practice just because it hasn't been stopped. That position has tainted every part of the LVCR entry and highlights a weakness in Wikipedia, which appears to assume something cannot be deemed illegal even if it clearly breaches a piece of legislation. As a result those who are carrying on the illegal activity have undue influence over the article. Just read the history and see some of the nonsense that's been posted on this entry in the past and you will see.All of these pro- CI LVCR comments have been posted by those with a vested interest in the ongoing illegal activity.
How can I be so sure of this ? Well I am party to information that I can't make public. Once that information is in the public domain (i.e a fact in Wikipedia terms) then with proper references I'll go through and alter this article as it will all then be just a case of stating those public facts. What's coming out of the EU shortly will remove all of the controversy from this entry which as you know has been a battlefield of opinion for the last few years!
The article will then be discussing LVCR and The Channel Islands in terms of a practice that has been abolished, which will shrink the articles size and importance considerably removing any debate! That should make putting together a sensible entry much easier. Thanks for your patience. Regards Bigbrothersback (talk) | toxic | en |
Thanks for adding the Olson 1967 reference. I agree - the article is in a sorry state. It's stuck in the 1960s. But that reference is very helpful in illustrating, as the article points out, how the concept of hi-fi has changed, and continues to change, with time. Will fix this up. Thanks. | toxic | en |

== Christendom: Biblical science ==
I see you have done an amazing job building the excellent Christendom page virtually single handedly. The second and third paragraphs of the Biblical Science section however left me extremely confused. They are very hard to follow, and for a while there I even had the impression it was inserted by some pseudoscience-Christian-fundamentalist. I Googled the referenced source book and read a chapter and eventually understood the intent and meaning of those paragraphs. I am all for the point about Christianity getting past Galileo-situations and coming to terms with mainstream science, but wow those two paragraphs are confusing if you don't already understand where they are coming from.
About the best I could do trying to fix the problem would be deleting those two paragraphs, leaving just the first paragraph. I'm posting here rather than jumping in to the middle of your excellent work and just making some clumsy deletion. I'm sure you can take care of it better than I could. | toxic | en |
