RPT-UPDATE 2-Midwest lawmakers to consider biofuel proposals, but pledge to protect RFS
(Repeats story published Dec. 13 to add detail to headline about lawmakers’ pledge to protect RFS; no other changes to text) By Jarrett Renshaw NEW YORK, Dec 13 (Reuters) - U.S. lawmakers from states that produce corn for ethanol plants said on Wednesday they would consider proposals from Senator Ted Cruz of Texas to help the oil refining industry cope with the nation’s biofuels regulation, but would never agree on anything that diminishes the program. The price of U.S. renewable fuel credits sunk to their lowest levels in two months amid ongoing efforts by President Donald Trump’s administration to mediate talks between the rival oil and corn industries over the Renewable Fuels Program. Representatives of both sides gathered on Wednesday at the White House and it was agreed that Cruz would circulate proposals to corn-state lawmakers in the weeks ahead that could help oil refining companies meet the RFS, according to the offices of Iowa Republican Senators Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst. The RFS requires refiners to blend increasing amounts of biofuels like corn-based ethanol into the fuel supply every year, a burden the refining industry says now costs it hundreds of millions of dollars every year and threatens to put some refineries out of business. Cruz and senators from other states with refineries had asked the White House in a meeting last week to help bring corn state interests to the negotiating table to help find a solution. The discussions have fueled speculation that the two sides could come up with a way to help refiners deal with the costs of compliance credits under the program without undermining the interests of the ethanol industry. “The integrity of the RFS is Senator Grassley’s priority and there was an understanding expressed broadly in the meeting that any outcome can’t undermine the integrity of the RFS,” Grassley spokesman Michael Zona said. “While we are happy to review any proposals Senator Cruz offers in the time ahead, we remain firm that our top priority in these meetings is ensuring that the spirit and the letter of the RFS is supported as intended by Congress,” Ernst spokeswoman Leigh Claffey said. The meeting on Wednesday included staff from the offices of Cruz and Republican Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, both representing the oil-refining industry. On the corn side, staff attended from the offices of Grassley, Ernst and Deb Fischer of Nebraska. Officials from the White House, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture also attended. Prices of renewable fuel (D6) credits were traded at roughly 74 cents on Wednesday, its lowest levels since early October, according to traders and Oil Price Information Service. The credits were trading at 90 cents each at the end of November. Traders also cited some unexpected selling by small refiners that were granted waivers from the program by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. “The small refiners were bringing the price down, but the talks in DC really added fuel to the sell off,” a trader said. The RFS was introduced more than a decade ago by former President George W. Bush as a way to boost U.S. agriculture, slash energy imports and cut emissions, and it has since fostered a market for ethanol amounting to 15 billion gallons a year. Refining companies - like Philadelphia Energy Solutions and Monroe Energy, both of Pennsylvania, along with Valero Energy Corp in Texas - that do not have adequate facilities to blend biofuels into their products are required to purchase blending credits called RINs from rivals that do. They have pressed the administration to adopt reforms that would lower the credit costs, but the ethanol industry has successfully defeated those efforts.

Keanae School
Keanae School, later Keanae Elementary School, is a historic school building in Keanae, Hawaii, recognized by the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). It formerly operated under the Hawaii Department of Education (HIDOE).
The building is a one-room schoolhouse and as of 2005 had been used as a community center.
Circa the early 2000s the school, with grades Kindergarten through three, had one teacher and an average of five students, with the latter figure making Keanae School the smallest public school by enrollment in Hawaii. In 2005 three children were officially registered as students, and Keanae School's principal, Rick Paul, was also that of Hana High and Elementary School in Hana. That year Ron Okamura, the superintendent of the Maui Region of HIDOE, and Paul jointly decided to have those students attend Hana School to conserve resources, though Keanae School was not formally closed at that time. Some area residents opposed the closure of the Keanae building, partly due to the distance between Ke'anae and Hana, 18 mi. According to Paul, if the Ke'anae building had not closed, the Hana school would have had one fewer teacher as that grade level would have had insufficient students. Classes would resume if the prospective enrollment became 12. Classes were not held at Keanae School since and in 2010 HIDOE formally closed the school. | WIKI |

Verifying the validity of an NFS mount
Introduction:
Every now and then if an NFS mount is no more connected to the server or something goes wrong with the NFS connection, running the command ‘ls mountpoint’ hangs the terminal till I press CTRL-C. So I tried to figure out a script that will be run as cron job and will tell me when an NFS mount has gone wrong. I had to revert to unorthodox tricks since doing a simple command ‘stat mountpoint &’ within the script would also hang the script. So I use the command ‘at now’ which runs the command independently for the script that initiated it. Here is an example of such script.
#!/bin/bash
# Name: MOUNT_CHECK.sh
# Purpose: Checks the health of the NFS mountpoint given by argument
# it kills the at/stat process and exits with an exit code 2 if the timeout has expired.
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
startdelay=3
timeout=10
# processes to be excluded in the 'ps | grep' test
excludes="openvpn|istatd|rpc.statd"
if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
echo "ERROR: Needs mountpoint as argument"
echo "Usage: MOUNT_CHECK.sh MountPoint"
exit 2
fi
#
echo "/usr/bin/stat $1" | /usr/bin/at now
sleep $startdelay
while (ps ax | egrep -v "grep|$excludes" | grep -q stat); do
let count=${count}+1
sleep 1
if [ $count -ge $timeout ]; then
kill $(pidof stat)
#echo "Mountpoint $1 : FAILED to connect before timeout of $timeout sec."
exit 2
fi
done

Coin in Line
Problem Statement
A and B are playing a game. At the beginning there are n coins. Given two more numbers x and y. In each move a player can pick x or y or 1 coins. A always starts the game. The player who picks the last coin wins the game. For a given value of n, find whether A will win the game or not if both are playing optimally.
Solution
We use dynamic programming (DP). If A lost in the game with i-1 (dp[i-1] == false), it means that B could come up with a strategy that leaves a value V with max(1,x,y)<V<=min(1,x,y) + max(1,x,y) in the second-to-last move for A. That way even if A would pick the least amount of coin (min(1,x,y)) in order to leave a maximum leftover for B, the leftover for B would be smaller than 1 or x or y, making B the winner. Now, if we consider i (one unit greater than i-1) this means that B would not be able to perform the above mentioned move in the second-to last step, thus letting A win.
public class CoinInLine {
public static boolean solve(int n, int x, int y) {
boolean[] dp = new boolean[n+1];
dp[0] = false;
dp[1] = true;

American History-19th Century Essay -- essays research papers
As urban industrial workers expanded in the 19th century, industry and the industrial work force boomed as well. Workers , however, were met with difficult situations that ultimately led to violent outbursts. Low wages could not buy food and clothes at the same time and conditions in the work place brought about countless deaths and injuries. Growing number of immigrants caused the reduction of wages and insecurity of the workers caused unemployment. There were hostilities between workers, employers, and organizations and complaints of no social safety nets. Due to these chaotic dilemmas, union members decided to emerge as one, in order to overcome the corporations. Methods of scientific management were incorporated and the two ideological groups (radicals and conservatives) were firmly rooted in the belief of mutualism. However, conflicts between anarchists and capitalists ignited strikes, generating the Haymarket Square Riot along with the Homestead and Pullman strikes. It was then clear that they could not eliminate corporate control. Even with unity, the workers resulted in a fruitless effort. Urban industrial workers were bombarded with many problems, a major one being long working hours. They not only had to endure endless hours of labor and turmoil, but received scarcely any pay at all. To make things worse, they were struggling to exist in the late 19th century where industrialization was flustering and depressions were part of the norm. An average American worker earned a measly $500 per year and a woman only half as much as the men. People were not making enough money to purchase the necessities of life and thus, lived a hard, struggling life. A woman stated she didnà ¢Ã¢â ¬Ã¢â ¢t "live" , but merely "existed".. she didnà ¢Ã¢â ¬Ã¢â ¢t live that you could call living." However, even at low wages, an incredible number of hours were being worked. Skilled workers worked an average of 50.4 hours a week and the unskilled at 53.7 hours a week. Where machines replaced workers, the cost of the equipment had to be covered by intensive labor. Steelworkers, for example, worked on average 63.1 hours per week; some laborers were even required to work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, with even a 24 hour shift and only one day off every two weeks. Long laborious effort... ... Chicago decided to cut the wages of its workers. Due to Pullmanà ¢Ã¢â ¬Ã¢â ¢s monopoly on sleeping cars, the American Railway Union (ARU) was created by Eugene V. Debs. The ARU was ordered not to handle the sleeping cars. Railroad officials saw this boycott as a chance to break up the union. The ARU spread the strike all throughout the country which resulted in the disruptance of US mail. President Cleveland sent in troops to cease the strike with the help of Attorney Olney. The ARU was stopped and Debs was put in jail. The corporation won once again, but this time with the power of the government and its arbitrary power over corporation rule. Workers did become "one" and worked well together as "one" but did not succeed as "one". Even throughout lock-outs and strikes, they were suppressed by government power and corporation rule. The power they had hoped to gain as they united wasnà ¢Ã¢â ¬Ã¢â ¢t strong enough to overcome the arbitrary rule and omnipotence of corporations and the government. Miseries of their laborious life continued as hours remained long, wages remained low, conditions remained unsafe, and workers remained disheartened. | FINEWEB-EDU |
Deep in the Darkness
Deep in the Darkness is the name of a 2004 novel by American writer Michael Laimo and a film adaptation by the same name. The novel was nominated for a 2004 Bram Stoker Award for Novel. While writing the book Laimo was influenced by the 1973 made-for-television film Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. Laimo wrote a sequel to Deep in the Darkness entitled Return to Darkness, which he released in 2011.
Plot summary
After the death of her doctor husband Neil, Mrs. Ferris sells her home and the Ashborough medical practice to Dr. Michael Cayle. At his wife Christine's insistence, Michael moves Christine and their young daughter Jessica from New York to the small town of Ashborough, New Hampshire for a quieter life.
New neighbor Phil Dreighton introduces the Cayles to his grandson Tyler and invites the family to his house for lunch. While using the Dreightons' bathroom, Michael meets Phil's wife Rosy, who has a severely scarred face. Later, Michael and Christine agree that the timing is right to have another child.
A package is delivered for the deceased Dr. Ferris. Michael opens it and discovers virus samples ranging from Ebola to the bubonic plague. Michael begins meeting various townspeople as his new patients. Lauren Hunter is strangely flirtatious.
Phil goes hiking with Michael and shows him a stone altar in the forest covered with blood. Phil explains that centuries ago, a breed of wild men known as Isolates populated the area. People make sacrifices to the Isolates to keep their families safe from their savagery. Phil tells Michael that he is expected to make a blood sacrifice on the altar and that it was Phil's duty to explain the tradition to Michael just as it was explained to Phil by Lady Zellis when the Dreightons first moved to Ashborough. Michael assumes the idea is crazy.
Michael takes Christine and Jessica to a church service to meet the rest of the townspeople. Rosy Dreighton pretends she is meeting Michael for the first time. After the service, Michael observes as his wife is suspiciously spirited away by Lady Zellis. Tyler starts to warn Michael about Lady Zellis before being stopped by Sheriff Andy Godbout's son AJ. Michael looks for Christine inside the church and Lauren Hunter tries seducing him again. When he spurns her, Lauren cryptically infers that Michael is the only one who can protect her, although she does not specify from what.
Christine tells Michael that she is pregnant, but that in lieu of an OB/GYN, she wants to see the town's midwife Lady Zellis. Christine begins acting as if she is hiding something from Michael. Michael starts to see signs of an intruder throughout the house and begins having nightmares. Michael hears noises outside and kills a goat that startles him. However, when he goes back to clean up the carcass, the goat is gone.
While Michael is home alone, Lauren shows up covered in blood with her stomach torn open. Michael futilely tries calling for an ambulance only to discover Lauren's body missing when he returns outside. Sheriff Godbout does not take Michael's claim of Lauren's murder seriously. Michael tries driving out of town, but his car will not start. Lauren is then found on the road, her death made to look like an accident.
Michael finds more signs of someone or something stalking his family inside their home. Lady Zellis pays Michael a visit. She cryptically tells him that "they" will be coming for him so that he may deliver a child and if he were not needed, he would already be dead because he did not complete the sacrifice. Michael's home office is then invaded by feral Isolates, who drag him to their caverns where he is forced to deliver the child of a pregnant savage.
Michael visits Phil for answers. Phil says they cannot talk because the Isolates can hear them and that no one will help because fear of the tribe runs so deep. Phil also reveals that the Isolates took his wife Rosy, and left her eyeballs on his nightstand.
Michael begs his wife to tell him what she knows. Christine says she cannot reveal anything for their own safety and infers that Michael should sacrifice their family dog on the woodland altar. Michael attempts to do so, but Jessica interrupts him.
The next day, Michael boards up the windows on his house, although Tyler warns Michael that it won't keep the Isolates out if they want to find a way in. Later, the Isolates abduct Michael again and force him to kill Phil in the caves.
Tyler confronts Michael about his father's death and asks for help killing the Isolates. Michael tells Tyler to seek help elsewhere. Tyler tells him that Lady Zellis runs the town and keeps the residents in line with the tea that everyone is forced to drink. Knowing that the Isolates listen to their words, Michael passes Tyler a note about arranging an escape plan.
Michael packs the family's bags and flees in his minivan with Christine and Jessica. Sheriff Godbout tries stopping them, but Christine runs him over. The Cayles are drawn back to town by Tyler's screams. Michael finds Lady Zellis cutting Tyler's chest while he is tied to a chair and Michael threatens her with a blade to escape with Tyler. Everyone flees in the minivan, but Christine crashes into a fallen tree, forcing everyone to retreat to the Cayle home.
The Isolates attack and kill Tyler. While Michael attends to Christine's injuries, Jessica is abducted. Michael arms himself with a syringe of bubonic plague that he uses to infect the Isolates on his next trip underground. The Isolates die and Michael rescues Jessica. When Michael returns home, he finds Lady Zellis delivering Christine's baby while surrounded by a handful of townspeople. Christine apologizes to Michael for deceiving him as she gives birth to an Isolate. Later, Michael finds an old photograph of Christine as a child and realizes that she is standing in front of a mailbox labeled "Zellis."
Film adaptation
Chiller officially announced plans to film an adaptation of Deep in the Darkness in mid 2013 and also announced that the movie would have a limited theatrical release before it went to VOD. The film starred Sean Patrick Thomas as Dr. Michael Cayle and Dean Stockwell as Phil Deighton, and featured a score by Matthew Llewellyn. The film officially released on April 29, 2014. Shock Till You Drop gave the movie a score of five out of ten, stating that while it had some effective jump scares and a good cast, they felt that the film was mostly unmemorable. The New York Times panned the film, expressing disappointment that the film did not live up to its full potential. Shout Factory released the film on April 21, 2015 on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in the United States. | WIKI |

[PATCH 4.9 24/51] ALSA: usb-audio: Fix UAF decrement if card has no live interfaces in card.c
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Dec 11 2018 - 11:13:20 EST
4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Hui Peng <benquike@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 5f8cf712582617d523120df67d392059eaf2fc4b upstream.
If a USB sound card reports 0 interfaces, an error condition is triggered
and the function usb_audio_probe errors out. In the error path, there was a
use-after-free vulnerability where the memory object of the card was first
freed, followed by a decrement of the number of active chips. Moving the
decrement above the atomic_dec fixes the UAF.
[ The original problem was introduced in 3.1 kernel, while it was
developed in a different form. The Fixes tag below indicates the
original commit but it doesn't mean that the patch is applicable
cleanly. -- tiwai ]

Gogol. Viy
'Gogol. Viy' (Гоголь. Вий) is a 2018 fantasy-horror film directed by Egor Baranov, sequel to the 2017 film Gogol. The Beginning.
Plot
After the events of the first film, Nikolai Gogol finds a case: among the things of Yakov Petrovich Guro is a secret file on himself with a postscript: "Mystery of birth — dark?". Five brothers of Gogol died at birth or soon after birth; later, in the visions of Nikolai and the memories of Yakim (who does not dare to reveal the truth to the gentleman), Vasily Gogol-Yanovsky accepts from despair the offer of a stranger with a bandage on his face, covering his nose. The stranger promises that the baby will survive, but payment for this will be an agreement with certain forces; Vasily replies that he is ready for anything, just to not bury his children anymore. When Nikolai is born, the stranger revives the stillborn baby.
Chapter Three. Enchanted place
In the morning, foreign sorcerer Basavryuk arrives in Dikanka: local people know him and are afraid, because he is famed as a hunter for the souls of Christians. However, there are no grounds for his arrest, and the priest warns Gogol to stay away from him.
When the next girl disappears in Dikanka (Darina) and her search leads to nothing, Gogol notices in Guro's notes a list of dates - church holidays and one victim of the Dark Horseman corresponds to each holiday. In attempts to find Darina, Gogol tries to learn how to control her gift and sees a red flower in the "den of the beast." Not knowing how to interpret the vision, he finally accepts Oksana's help; her condition - Nikolai must belong to her. The flower turns out to be a blossom, blooming once a year, where the magic of gold is hidden. It's only the innocent soul that can break it and get hold of the treasure if it spills the blood of another innocent.
"The lair of the beast" is the Bear's ravine, which the locals pass by, believing that this is a damned land. In the visions, Nikolai foresees that there will be a murder, and an unknown girl asks him a question: "Maybe you are my betrothed?". Taking the gun, Gogol goes there at night, but instead of the Horseman, Darina is brought there by the sorcerer. He proposes the fiancé of Darina's sister to shed blood so that he will receive gold (and become rich to marry), and the sorcerer will take his soul. When he agrees, Nikolai, unable to dissuade the villains, kills him, and the sorcerer disappears. Wounded Darina is saved Dr. Leopold Bomgart who exerts great efforts: although he has committed to operate on the living after he failed to save a child in the past, the doctor finds the courage to try again and he succeeds.
However, it is impossible to prevent the killing of the new victim of the Horseman: she is the second girl from visions. Nothing is left for Gogol, Bomgart, Yakim, blacksmith Vakula and investigator Binh, except to wait for the next holiday.
Chapter Four. Viy
On a new holiday, Gogol advises Binh to urge residents of Dikanka not to leave the houses at night. Although the night passes without new victims, the next morning seven houses are marked with the sign of the Horseman. What's unusual is that they also marked the Danishevskys' house, although the Dark Horseman had never touched noblemen before and killed only peasants. Not seeing other options, Nikolai suggests to hide all the girls from the labeled houses in a secret place under the protection of the Cossacks. This proposal does not find support from Binh, since he begins to suspect Gogol of having links to the murderer. Danishevsky also rudely rejects the proposal to take Lisa with him.
Thanks to the little daughter of the blacksmith Vakula, Gogol guesses that the signs on the houses were put by the witch from the village (the signs were painted with the blood of a dog, and in her house the girl saw a dead dog). However, the witch can not be interrogated: she is stabbed by a stranger with an aspen stake, who runs away when Nikolai appears. Waking up at the scene of the murder, Gogol falls under the suspicion of Binh (no one except him saw the killer) and finds on the floor the spell he wrote in Latin.
After studying the evidence and weapons of a stranger (Oksana, scarcely seeing him, says in horror that this is an aspen from the holy land, conspired against the evil forces), Nikolai comes to the conclusion that the murderer intended to perform a ritual over the body, but did not have time to complete it, which means that he will try to finish the deed later. The murderer is really ambushed in a shed, where the witch's body lies; it turns out to be the wandering exorcist Homa Brutus. He arrived in Dikanka to fight again with the demon Viy, and the witch needed him as a bait. Making sure that Gogol is not a murderer, Binh gives the go-ahead to hide the girls.
Khoma, escaping from imprisonment, takes Gogol hostage and asks him to help him defeat Viy: he simply does not have enough strength alone, and only a man with a dark gift strong enough that the spell that casts out the demon would work. Locked in a church with a witch's body and drawing a circle, Homa waits until Viy arrives, but dies. Gogol reads the spell himself, why Viy disappears, but Nikolai himself falls dead.
At night, the Dark Horseman finds a secret place (abandoned farm) and kills all Cossacks and girls inside it. Arriving at the site, Binh and Vakula conclude that someone had revealed the location of the shelter to the Horseman, which only four knew: Binh himself, his assistant (scribe Tesak), Gogol and Alexei Danishevsky. The first thing Binh decides to arrest and interrogate Gogol, but finds him in the church without signs of life.
The film ends with scenes from the sequel, "Gogol. Terrible Revenge": the return of Yakov Petrovich Guro, the funeral of Gogol and the battle with the Dark Horseman.

what is considered loud in decibels
What is Considered Loud in Decibels: A Guide
Did you know that exposure to loud sounds can cause permanent damage to your hearing? Noise-induced hearing loss is a common problem that affects millions of people worldwide. To quantify the intensity of noise, scientists use a unit called decibels. Decibels are a logarithmic unit that measures the relative intensity of sounds. The human ear can typically hear sounds ranging from 0 decibels (absolute silence) to about 120-130 decibels (painfully loud).
The concept of decibels was first introduced by Alexander Graham Bell in the late 19th century to measure the levels of sound in telecommunication devices. Over time, decibels became a standard unit for measuring the intensity of noise in various industries, including music, engineering, and environmental science. In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the impact of loud noise on human health, leading to regulations and guidelines to limit exposure to hazardous levels of sound. For example, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets the permissible exposure limit for noise at 85 decibels for an 8-hour workday.
To put things into perspective, normal conversation typically registers at around 60 decibels, while a rock concert can reach levels of 110-120 decibels. Prolonged exposure to sounds above 85 decibels can lead to hearing loss and other health issues. It's important to protect your hearing by using earplugs or noise-canceling headphones in loud environments. By being mindful of the decibel levels of the sounds around you, you can safeguard your hearing for years to come.
What exactly constitutes loud noise levels in decibels?
When it comes to measuring sound intensity, decibels are used as a unit of measurement. Generally, anything above 85 decibels is considered loud and can potentially damage hearing with prolonged exposure. This can include things like concerts, fireworks, and power tools. To delve deeper into understanding decibels and their impact on hearing health, let's explore the different levels of noise and how they can affect our ears in the following sections.
Noise Levels and Decibels
Noise levels are measured in units called decibels (dB). In general, any sound that reaches 85 decibels or higher can be considered loud and potentially harmful to human ears. Noise levels are usually categorized into different ranges based on their decibel levels.
80-89 dB: Moderate Noise
Sounds in this range, such as city traffic or a vacuum cleaner, can be considered moderately loud. Prolonged exposure to noise at this level can lead to hearing loss over time.
90-99 dB: Loud Noise
This category includes sounds like a motorcycle or a lawnmower, which can be damaging to ears with prolonged exposure. It is important to wear ear protection in environments where noise levels reach this range.
100+ dB: Very Loud Noise
Sounds above 100 decibels, such as a rock concert or a jackhammer, can cause immediate damage to hearing. It is crucial to limit exposure to these noise levels and use ear protection to prevent hearing loss.
Statistics on Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
• Approximately 40 million adults in the United States aged 20-69 have noise-induced hearing loss.
• Occupational noise exposure accounts for 24% of adult hearing loss cases in the US.
• An estimated 1.1 billion young people globally are at risk of hearing loss due to unsafe listening practices.
• Hearing loss from noise exposure is entirely preventable with proper awareness and protective measures.

What is the range of decibels that is considered loud?
Decibels that are considered loud can fall within a range that can vary depending on the individual's threshold for noise. In general, sounds that exceed 85 decibels can be considered loud. It is important to note that prolonged exposure to sounds above this threshold can potentially lead to hearing damage.
1. Decibels that are considered loud can vary depending on individual thresholds.
2. Sounds above 85 decibels are generally considered to be loud.
3. Prolonged exposure to sounds above this threshold can result in hearing damage.
What are some examples of loud noises?
There are various common sources of loud noises that individuals may encounter in their daily lives. Some examples of loud noises include construction work, concerts, sirens, and fireworks. These sources can produce sounds that exceed safe decibel levels and may require the use of ear protection to prevent hearing damage.
1. Construction work can produce loud noises.
2. Concerts are known for generating high decibel levels.
3. Sirens and fireworks can also be sources of loud noises.
How can loud noises impact health?
Exposure to loud noises can have detrimental effects on an individual's health, particularly in terms of their auditory system. Prolonged exposure to loud noises can lead to hearing loss, tinnitus, and an increased risk of developing other auditory disorders. Additionally, loud noises can also contribute to stress, sleep disturbances, and other negative health outcomes.
1. Prolonged exposure to loud noises can result in hearing loss.
2. Loud noises may lead to the development of tinnitus.
3. Exposure to loud noises can contribute to stress and sleep disturbances.
What are some ways to protect against loud noises?
There are several measures that individuals can take to protect themselves against the harmful effects of loud noises. One effective method is to use ear protection, such as earplugs or earmuffs, when exposed to loud environments. Additionally, limiting exposure to loud noises, maintaining a safe distance from sources of loud sounds, and using soundproofing techniques can also help minimize the impact of loud noises on one's health.
1. Using ear protection like earplugs can help reduce the impact of loud noises.
2. Limiting exposure to loud environments is an effective way to protect against noise.
3. Maintaining a safe distance from sources of loud sounds can also help minimize the impact on health.
Can loud noises affect children differently than adults?
Children may be more vulnerable to the effects of loud noises compared to adults due to the sensitivity of their developing auditory systems. Prolonged exposure to loud noises can have a greater impact on children's hearing health, leading to potential long-term consequences such as hearing loss or developmental delays. It is essential for parents and caregivers to take steps to protect children from exposure to loud noises and provide them with appropriate ear protection when necessary.
1. Children's developing auditory systems may be more sensitive to loud noises.
2. Prolonged exposure to loud noises can have a greater impact on children's hearing health.
3. Parents should take steps to protect children from loud noises and provide ear protection when needed.
Conclusion
In conclusion, any sound that measures over 85 decibels is considered loud and has the potential to cause hearing damage if exposure is prolonged. It is important to protect your ears from loud noises by using earplugs or earmuffs in noisy environments. Be mindful of the noise levels around you to prevent any long-term hearing impairment.

Have you ever tried to rip apart a rock? Unless you are the Hulk, you probably cannot even put a crack in one. In fact, unless you are using special tools, you cannot break apart most of the rocks that you find. After all, rocks, are pretty strong. That's why they are used for making buildings and streets. However, you have probably seen rocks or cement that have cracks in them. Maybe the sidewalk by your house has cracks in it, with plants growing in the gaps. Have you ever wondered why it looks like these plants can make cracks in the sidewalk when you cannot?
I think it's going to take more than a shovel to break this down and move it.
Scientists, who have words for everything, also have a name for breaking rocks. They call it weathering when rock is broken down into smaller and smaller pieces. This can happen in a few ways. One way is when things push or pull on rocks. The roots of a tree, growing over many years, can slowly break apart dirt and rock to hold itself down and grow its roots deep into the ground. Another kind of weathering happens when rock is broken down by chemicals. This can happen when water hits some kinds of rock and turns into a weak acid. Acid is the same stuff that helps your body break down the food you eat. This is a good reason why you should not crawl around in wet caves.
After rocks are broken apart during weathering, something else happens. Erosion is when broken rocks or dirt are moved from one place to another. This happens when things like water, wind, and gravity work together to move the bits of broken down rocks. Water is a liquid found all over the Earth that causes most of the weathering and erosion we see when it flows against rocks or freezes into ice. Water might not seem strong, but it is the thing that most often breaks a rock! Remember, water can come in many different forms. Water in the ocean crashes onto the beach shore in the form of powerful waves. Over time, these waves can break apart the rocks in cliffs by the beach and change their shape.
Not a good beach for your boogie board.
Water also can break and move rocks when it runs over rocks for a very long time. When water breaks down rocks like this, it can make the rocks very smooth, like rocks that have been in creeks for a very long time. Picture how a chunk of butter slowly melts on hot bread. Over time, the sides of the butter get worn down and smooth. Of course, rocks are a lot harder than butter, but remember that the water in a creek is running over those rocks for a lot, lot longer than it takes to melt butter!
Another way to break or move rock is with the wind. When different parts of the Earth are different temperatures, the air starts moving and creates wind. How does this happen? I am not sure if you have seen this before, but water reflects sunlight so much that it can even hurt your eyes. Dirt and rock are different. Most of the light that hits them gets taken in and warms them up. During the day, the air over the land gets hotter from all this heat and the air over the water stays cooler. The heat from the land makes the air rise and that sucks in colder air from over the water. When the colder air over the water moves in to take the spot of where the warmer land air once was, that creates wind.
Wind erosion happens when wind picks up sand and blows against big rock cliffs. Even though it does not happen right away, the sand in the wind slowly breaks down the rocks. It's like the way sand paper is used to smooth out wood. Even though it takes some time, the sand in the wind makes the rocks break apart and smooth out. Water waves, wind, and gravity all work together to cause the erosion that shapes the sand dunes you see at the beach.
Meet you at the top of the middle one. You go first.
So let's review what we just learned. Rocks get broken during weathering, and then rocks get moved during erosion. Both water and wind are used to help with weathering and erosion. In a way, water and wind are kind of like shovels. Like shovels, water and wind work to break up rock and to move it to new places. However, unlike shovels, water and wind do not need anyone to help them break up rocks. Instead, water and wind can break up and move rocks all on their own. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Questionable mean size data in table

Gonna Give Her All the Love I've Got
"Gonna Give Her All the Love I've Got" is a 1967 Soul song, originally recorded and made a hit by Jimmy Ruffin on Motown's Soul Label imprint. Ruffin's 1967 original version, from his album Jimmy Ruffin Sings Top Ten, reached the Pop Top 30, peaking at #29, and was a Top 20 R&B Hit as well, peaking at #14. It was also a hit in Britain, reaching #26 on the UK Singles Chart. The song has a social context: it depicts a man anticipating his release from prison on the morrow, when he'll return home on a train to "the girl that I left behind," promising himself that he will reward her steadfast love for him by "giv[ing] her all the love [he's] got." The song was written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong and produced by Whitfield.
In August 1968 Benny Gordon released his version on Wand 1188. Benny Gordon Born 1932 Died 24 December 2008 Genres Soul Occupation(s) Singer, songwriter and bandleader Instruments Vocals Years active 1962 - 70s Labels RCA, Estill, Capitol, Wand. Benny Gordon (1932–2008) was a soul and r&b singer who recorded from the early 1960s up to the 1970s. Some of his early efforts were as a member of Christian Harmonizers. Their recordings were credited to The Christian Harmonizers (Featuring B. Gordon). Later recordings were as Bennie Gordon And The Soul Brothers.[
In 1970, Jimmy Ruffin's Motown labelmate Marvin Gaye, released the song on the Tamla label. released from his album, That's the Way Love Is. Gaye's cover version of the song was a modest hit when Gaye released it in early 1970, peaking at #67 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at #26 on the Hot Selling Soul Singles chart. For Gaye the single was a double sided hit, as its flip side, "How Can I Forget" also charted (#41 US Pop, #18 US R&B).
Still another Motown act, The Temptations, recorded the tune as part of their album "The Temptations Wish It Would Rain. However, it was The Temptations' baritone lead singer, Paul Williams, that sang lead vocals on the song, rather than Jimmy's brother, Temptations member David Ruffin. Their version was also released as a B-side to their hit single, "I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)", which turned out to be Ruffin's last lead released before he left the group.
Tony Tribe did a single cover of the song with Trojan Records, before dying in a car accident in Canada in 1970.

The considerable overlap in the dielectric properties of benign and malignant tissue at microwave frequencies means that breast tumour classification using traditional UWB Radar imaging algorithms could be very problematic. Several studies have examined the possibility of using the Radar Target Signature (RTS) of a tumour to classify the tumour as either benign or malignant, since the RTS has been shown to be influenced by the size, shape and surface texture of tumours. The main weakness of existing studies is that they mainly consider tumours in a 3D dielectrically homogenous or 2D heterogeneous breast model. In this paper, the effects of dielectric heterogeneity on a novel Spiking Neural Network (SNN) classifier are examined in terms of both sensitivity and specificity, using a 3D dielectrically heterogeneous breast model. The performance of the SNN classifier is compared to an existing LDA classifier. The effect of combining conflicting classification readings in a multi-antenna system is also considered. Finally and importantly, misclassified tumours are analysed and suggestions for future work are discussed.

The bright spot in dismal, terrible earnings: They're temporary
Expectations are dismal and dreary as banks report earnings this week. But based on history, expectations of carnage may not materialize, experts told CNBC's "Fast Money: Halftime Report " and "Power Lunch " Monday. JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs fill out the line-up for this weeks earnings, and almost all are expected post year-over-year declines in both top and bottom line figures, said Christine Short, senior vice president of media and PR at Estimize, a crowdsourced earnings estimates platform. But the small number of companies that have reported so far have beat expectations, Short said — and that is in line with historical patterns tracked by Estimize. "I don't think it's ever as bad as everybody thinks at the beginning of the season," Short told "Halftime Report" Monday. Wall Street will be hanging more on macro economic commentary from industry leaders, Short said. And there could be a bright spot on the horizon, Short said, at least when it comes to dollar, which has impacted trade as it grows more expensive compared to other global currencies like the euro. "There aren't a lot of absolute rules in investing, but the one thing that is absolute is you want to invest in industries that have well-identified, short-term problems," said Charles Bobrinskoy, vice chairman and head of investment group at Ariel Investments. "Yes, this is a terrible time for earnings. It's going to get better." To be sure, not everyone agrees. As the Federal Reserve waffles over whether to raise interest rates, the energy sector suffers under debt and regulators scrutinize the financial sector after the Great Recession, banks are left "in handcuffs," said Stephen Massocca, managing director at Wedbush Equity Management. "I think there's stuff that's equally cheap that you could buy," Massocca said. Disclosure: CNBC has a content-sharing partnership with Estimize. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Abstract
Adventitious roots of rice (Oryza sativa) acclimatize to root-zone O-2 deficiency by increasing porosity, and induction of a barrier to radial O-2 loss (ROL) in basal zones, to enhance longitudinal O-2 diffusion towards the root tip.Changes in root-zone gas composition that might induce these acclimatizations, namely low O-2, elevated ethylene, ethylene-low O-2 interactions, and high CO2, were evaluated in hydroponic experiments.Neither low O-2 (0 or 0.028 mol m(-3) O-2), ethylene (0.2 or 2.0 mu l l(-1)), or combinations of these treatments, induced the barrier to ROL. This lack of induction of the barrier to ROL was despite a positive response of aerenchyma formation to low O-2 and elevated ethylene. Carbon dioxide at 10 kPa had no effect on root porosity, the barrier to ROL, or on growth.Our findings that ethylene does not induce the barrier to ROL in roots of rice, even though it can enhance aerenchyma formation, shows that these two acclimatizations for improved root aeration are differentially regulated.

Just like England's playwrights and poets, its scholars and teachers, England's musical composers took traditions and styles from Italy and the continent and created bodies of work that are uniquely British.
The 1500s were times of change, as were the 1400s before them. Marco Polo had travelled to China and published the account of his travels. Magellan had circumnavigated the Earth, proving that the Earth was round. The Silk Road linked The Mediterranean with Central and Far East Asia.
Secular Instrumental music and songs from the 1500s were popular going back to the Spanish and Italian Renaissances, with a similar, if also different and more style to that of the music of the Middle Ages. In its combines the complex polyphony (multiple voices) of the Middle Ages with the artistic complexities of the Baroque and later classical music.
Music was a form of popular entertainment during the Renaissance. Both sacred and secular music was heard throughout society. In cathedrals, Lain masses and motets were sung by choirs of four or five voices accompanied by organ. Songs were sung by choirs during Christmas time. Popular songs were played in a variety of ways, sometimes by a group of four or five people accapalla, sometimes with musical accompaniament.
The popular music instruments of the day included the lute, brought from France and Italy. The lute came from Spain, then ruled by the Moors. The lute as a stringed instrument was based on the Oud, a stringed instrument dating to the 6th century with its roots in Iraq, Syria, and Egypt (with a similar stringed instrument played in Turkey). The Oud itself is based on the Barbat, an instrument created by Ancient Iranian peoples in the 1st century BC, later adopted by the Persians. The word itself is an arabic word derived from a Persian word meaning string, stringed instrument, or lute.
The viol and bass viol were cello like instruments, with slightly different bodies from modern cellos and with frets on the neck. They were played in musical ensembles, sometimes with vocialists. The organ was also popular, played in many cathedrals.
William Byrd is considered England’s greatest composer from this time. Byrd was of a generation just before Shakespeare’s, having been born in the late 1530s, early 1540s. He became a “Gentleman” of the Chapel Royal, with the designation of organist. The Chapel Royal was a group of clergy and singers who served at the behest of the Queen. It was an institution with a long tradition, that travelled with the royal family.
William Byrd wrote masses and motets. He published with his mentor Thomas Tallis, another prolific Elizabethan omposer, a book of 34 motets in 1575. He also wrote songbooks, consort music, and keyboard music. His songs were included in a number of popular songbooks of the time, sometimes called Partbooks. Two songbooks of his were published in 1588 and 1589. He served the Queen from 1572 until his semi-retirement from the Chapel Royal in 1594.
Byrd was known for creating his own style by combining elements from Continental polyphony, Italian music, and local English composers to create a music that was uniquely English and uniquely his own.
Music in the 1500s was played by professional musicians and by common people as a casual pastime and entertainment. Music books were written so that even non-musicians could read them. William Shakespeare included songs in some of his plays, with many other references to popular lyrics of the time that his audience would be very familiar with.
Even after his retirement, he continued writing and publishing music, well into the 1600s. He always wrote artistic music, compared to music solely for light entertainment or for the festive masques at Court. But the Court of Elizabeth 1 and King James 1 were both great patrons of the arts. Queen Elizabeth herself played the keyboard. James 1 wrote poetry. And of course, they both were patrons to the theatrical troupe to which William Shakespeare belonged.
Other great English composers include John Johnson (1550-1594) and John Dowland (1563-1626). John Johnson also was a Court musician and created more music than any other English composer except for only William Byrd. Johnson is credited as the father of the "olden Age" of English lute music.
Johnson would oftentimes write French dances, such as the Galliard and the Paven, and yet his composisitions sound unmistakenly British, with local British flavour and texture. | FINEWEB-EDU |

SRN4 Cockpit Tour
Previous: SRN4 Features Hovertour backHovertour forwardNext: SRN4 Systems
On this page I will attempt to run through the eight main systems in an SRN4 cockpit, those being: Fuel, Electronics, Flight Controls and Surfaces, Navigation, Propeller Pitch, Engines, Hydraulics and Drive Gearboxes. The reason for this is to give an overview of the controls behind a hovercraft. If you're here on the tour and wondering why this page comes where it does, I have surmised that you've learnt about the various functions and features of hovercraft such as the SRN4, and are now ready to find out how they all fit together in terms of how they are controlled and managed.
The cockpit of an SRN4 is located above the bows of the craft, at the level of the roof. It is accessible via either of two ladders, one running up the outside of the port bow of the craft, and the other inside the car deck leading to a hatch in the ceiling. Three crew man the flight deck, the Captain, the First Officer (Navigator) and the Second Officer (Flight engineer). The Captain has ultimate responsibility for the running, management and steering of the craft however the second officer would often take over various roles.
Overview | Fuel and Electronics | Flight Control Surfaces, Control Inputs, and Propeller Pitch | Throttles and Pitch Selectors| Navigation | Engines | Hydraulics | Drive Gearboxes
Cockpit of the SRN4
This diagram shows the banks of systems and arrangement of gauges in the cockpit of the SRN4. Although looking quite complex, the cockpit systems are arranged in a logical, clear order, separated into systems for quick-access. It is never the case that the flight crew will look at all the gauges simultaneously. They will instead scan the instrument panels diagonally, looking for anomalies.
Actual Cockpit
Real-life cockpit showing all of the systems mentioned on this page.
Fuel and Electronics Panel [top]
This photo shows the fuel and electronics overhead panels.
Similar to many aeroplanes, the SRN4 used fuel as more than just the juice to power its engines. Being a hovercraft, stability was key to an efficient ride. Therefore, fuel was also used as ballast, and could be moved around the craft by means of crossfeed valves and pumps, and transfer tanks. The SRN4 therefore had multiple fuel tanks, for this purpose, for fuel storage and for engine supply. Shown in the photograph are a few gauges for fuel quantity (bottom left), and the fuel crossfeed system (top left).
In the middle and of the photo is the electronics panel. The SRN4 generated its electricity by means of two APUs and generators running from its four engines. The power was 3-phase AC (Alternating Current), and low voltage DC (Direct Current), each feeding its own electronic "bus bar". Various craft systems operated from each of these two bus bars, such as the lighting, heating, winches and computers for navigation. Gauges on the electronics panel indicate such factors as voltage, current and condition of the generators. Switches on the panel could be used to select between generators, systems and isolate parts of the system in case of failure.
Flight Control Surfaces, Control Inputs, and Propeller Pitch [top]
To the left and right of the navigation panel are the flight control position indicators and propeller pitch position indicators. These show the captain the positions of each of the pylons and rudders, and the pitch (positive, zero or negative) of each of the propellers. With these indicators the captain can tell if there are any malfunctions in the steering or propulsion systems without having to turn around and look out of the rear cockpit windows.
The captain controls these surfaces and propellers by a mixture of control inputs, namely the 2-axis flight yoke (control column) - rotation axis to swivel the pylons for left/right steering, and a push forward/pull back longitudinal axis to control the amount of propeller pitch.
Propeller pitch can be in three states: Positive, Zero or Negative. Zero pitch is the state at which the propellers are simply windmilling, they provide no thrust. This is used for static hovering at port or at sea. Positive and Negative pitch are the states which the propellers provide either rearward thrust (for forward acceleration) or reverse thrust (for rearward acceleration). The longitudinal position of the flight yoke determines the amount of this pitch applied to the propellers, pulling the column fully back reduces the pitch, pushing fully in increases the pitch to full. When the column is fully out, what the craft loses in thrust energy it gains in lift energy, and the hoverheight increases as a result. The converse is true when the column is pushed fully forward, thus a balance of speed, acceleration and hoverheight can be adjusted with one control.
Finally there are two rudder pedals, used to control the angle of the two rudders and thus the yaw of the craft. Pushing the left pedal rotates the rudders clockwise, yawing the bow to the left, and the opposite occurs when the right pedal is pushed.
A balance of all three controls is required for straight line flight or manoeuvring.
Throttles and Pitch Selectors [top]
The centre console of the cockpit, between the chairs of the two pilots, contains the levers for the engine throttles and propeller pitch mode selectors.
The throttles, the four levers to the right, control in order the fuel flow to engines 1, 2, 3 and 4. Closed Throttle is when the levers are pulled back as far as they can go, stemming the fuel supply to the engines. Full throttle means the levers are fully forward, allowing the most fuel possible to the engines and providing full power.
The other four levers and a few switches on the console control the pitch direction and modes of the four propellers. Each propeller can be individually controlled, to be in positive, zero or negative pitch. As stated above, the control column is then used to determine the amount of pitching required. Cleverly, in the case of a pylon whose propeller is in negative pitch, steering control inputs are automatically reversed, so as to provide better yaw control of the craft.
Also possible from this console is the mode of the pylons. The captain can choose to have all four moving simultaneously, or to have the front two fixed and the rear two as directional controls. This is especially useful for cruise, avoiding as much side slip as possible but still retaining a good degree of steering.
Navigation panel [top]
Navigation across the channel was performed by means of a radio compass, similar to an aircraft's ADF (aerial direction finder), and the radar screens of the Navigator sitting back and to the right of the two front crew in a darkened portion of the flight deck to aid his vision of various navigation computers and RADAR screens.
The photo shows the captain's navigation instruments, notably the compass and tracking indicators. These systems helped achieve a rudimentary heading, and kept the craft on track even during low visibility or high side-slip conditions caused by crosswinds. The top left instrument is an airspeed indicator, deriving its reading from a pitot head protruding from the cockpit roof.
Engines [top]
The engine instruments (bottom right three panels of the cockpit diagram above) are arranged vertically in order of the engine, i.e., from top to bottom, engines 1, 2, 3 and 4. Engines 1 and 2 drive the forward port and starboard propellers/lift fans, and are situated inboard of engines 3 and 4, driving the aft port and starboard propellers/lift fans.
From left to right of the first engine panel in the photo shown here are gauges for compressor RPM, exhaust gas temperature and turbine RPM. The Proteus engine has two shafts and the two RPM readings show the respective speeds of each of these. Exhaust gas temperature (EGT) does exactly what it says.
The four push buttons for each engine are the engine shutdown and emergency shutdown/fire extinguishers. These would be used if an engine displayed signs of malfunction, or there was a malfunction down the line in the drive system, for example an overheating gearbox or a thrown propeller blade.
In-flight speeds of the SRN4's Rolls Royce Marine Proteus gas turbines was in the region of 11,000 RPM.
Hydraulics Panel [top]
This panel in the far corner of the main instrument panel shows various details regarding the craft's hydraulic systems, again in the order of engines 1, 2, 3 and 4. The properties of each system include hydraulic temperatures and pressures, and the status of the pumps and actuators on the craft. Isolation switches and backup reversions were likely to have been present, as redundancy is built into the craft's systems.
Gearboxes [top]
The last set of instruments in the SRN4's cockpit are the gauges measuring various properties of the craft's four main gearboxes, including shaft RPMs, temperatures, oil levels, and output RPMs. The gearboxes split the power between the main propellers and the lift fans, stepping down the RPM from the engine (~ 11,000 RPM) to a more useable value for the thrust and lift systems. Exact values are not known as yet by me!
This concludes the cockpit tour. This page has been put together by pulling together various facts about the craft and similar craft including aeroplanes of the time. Any corrections will be added as and when they are known. If you know a fact to be incorrect please say, and I will correct it ASAP.

What Does Throat Closing Feel Like?
How can you tell if your throat is closing up?
Tightness in the throat may feel as if:
• the throat is swollen.
• the throat muscles are locked.
• there is a lump in the throat.
• a tight band is wound around the neck.
• tenderness, pressure, or pain in the throat.
• the feeling of needing to swallow frequently.
Why does my throat feel like it’s closing up?
Stress or anxiety may cause some people to feel tightness in the throat or feel as if something is stuck in the throat. This sensation is called globus sensation and is unrelated to eating. However, there may be some underlying cause. Problems that involve the esophagus often cause swallowing problems.
What to do when you feel like your throat is closing?
You can gargle with a mixture of salt, baking soda, and warm water, or suck on a throat lozenge. Rest your voice until you feel better. Anaphylaxis is treated under close medical supervision and with a shot of epinephrine. Other medications like antihistamines and corticosteroids may be necessary as well.
Why does my throat feel like it’s closing up at night?
Some people have a narrow throat. When the muscles in their upper throat relax during sleep, the tissues close in and block the airway. This stop in breathing is called apnea. Certain shapes of the roof of your mouth (palate) or airway that cause it to collapse more easily.
How can I stop my throat from closing up?
You can gargle with a mixture of salt, baking soda, and warm water, or suck on a throat lozenge. Rest your voice until you feel better. Anaphylaxis is treated under close medical supervision and with a shot of epinephrine. Other medications like antihistamines and corticosteroids may be necessary as well.

Can thyroid problems cause throat tightness?
Goiters are linked to a thyroid gland that produces too much hormone (hyperthyroidism) or too little hormone (hypothyroidism). Along with throat tightness, symptoms of a goiter include: cough. difficulty breathing or swallowing.
What can cause a numb throat?
Cancer and damaged blood vessels
Mouth and throat cancers can trigger a number of symptoms including numbness in the mouth. The numb feeling may be throughout the mouth and lip area, or in patchy areas. This happens when cancer cells cause nerve or blood vessel damage in the mouth.
How long can globus sensation last?
It is a very unusual sensory experience. After gargling for 1-2 minutes — that’s quite a lot, try it sometime — I can get nearly complete relief from the globus sensation for at least a half hour, often much more (hours).
What does your throat feel like when you have an allergic reaction?
Allergic reactions can cause: trouble breathing. throat tightness or feeling like the throat or airways are closing. hoarseness or trouble speaking.
Can food be stuck in your throat for days?
When it feels like something didn’t go all the way down, it’s usually because it’s stuck in your esophagus. Your breathing isn’t affected when this happens because the food has already cleared your windpipe. However, you may cough or gag. Symptoms of food stuck in your esophagus develop immediately after it happens.
Why do I feel like someone is choking me?
The main symptoms are persistent heartburn and acid regurgitation. Some people have GERD without heartburn. Instead, they experience pain in the chest, hoarseness in the morning or trouble swallowing. You may feel like you have food stuck in your throat, or like you are choking or your throat is tight. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Types of SSL Certificates Explained
What is SSL? – Full form and Types of SSL Certificates
SSL certificate - Types of SSL Certificates Explained
Introducing SSL – the ultimate shield for secure online transactions! Developed by Netscape in the early 90s, SSL is a protocol that creates a fortified connection between a web server and a browser. It ensures the safe and reliable transmission of sensitive information such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, and login credentials over the internet. SSL uses a combination of public key and private key encryption, as well as session keys, to safeguard the connection between a web server and a client system.
What is SSL? – Full Form & Definition
SSL Full Form – SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer is a protocol for establishing the encrypted links between the network. Websites that request the client’s personal information such as email address or payment information need to install the SSL certificate. SSL certificate creates trust by establishing a secured connection and there are many types of SSL certificates available. SSL is used for secured communication between a web browser and the web server. SSL turns the website address from HTTP to HTTPS, “s” stands for secure.
In addition, SSL has two key pairs one is the private key and another one is the public key. These keys work together to establish a secure connection. The private key is kept secured and the public key can be widely distributed via a certificate.
You can buy SSL Certificate with SeekaHost India and Configure.
Before SSL
Gone are the days of insecure online transactions with SSL. It was the first commonly used framework to secure online transactions and eventually evolved to secure other applications such as authentication and encryption on the network transport layer. The SSL protocol has been replaced by the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, which is backward compatible with SSL 3.0.
SSL/TLS works
• Encryption: To provide a high degree of privacy, SSL encrypted the data and then transmits the data across the web. When anyone tries to decrypt the data will see only the garbled mix of characters, it is impossible to decrypt.
• Authentication: SSL indicates an authentication process called a handshake between the two communicating devices to ensure both devices are who they claim to be.
• Data integrity: SSL also digitally signs data in order to provide data integrity, verify the data is not tampered with before reaching its intended receipt.
Certificate Authority (CA) is trusted by the third party which generates and issues the SSL certificate for your website.
SSL protocol
The SSL protocol is constructed as a suite of protocols over TCP/IP, commonly referred to as the SSL Protocol Stack. It consists of two sub-layers – the first sub-layer contains the SSL Record Protocol, which handles data checking and encapsulation with appropriate headers for secure transfer under the TCP protocol. The second sub-layer contains the SSL Handshake Protocol, SSL Shift Cipher Protocol, and SSL Warning Protocol, which are responsible for maintaining a safe and secure connection to an application protocol such as HTTP.
Advantages of SSL
The advantages of SSL are numerous. It offers encryption to ensure the security of sensitive data, server authenticity to guarantee the transfer of data over the internet passes through proper servers, and trust, which leads to increased traffic on a site. Additionally, if a site includes online payments and allows memberships, information security is of utmost importance and SSL provides the perfect solution. Give your online transactions the protection they deserve with SSL.
Free SSL
Are you concerned about the security of your website’s data? One way to protect your visitors’ information is by using an SSL certificate, which encrypts data transmitted between your website and a user’s browser. Let’s Encrypt offers free SSL certificates that are just as secure as paid options from trusted certificate authorities.
About Let’s Encrypt:
Founded in 2014 by the Internet Security Research Group, a non-profit organization, Let’s Encrypt has the backing of major tech companies such as Mozilla, Cisco, and Facebook. In addition, their SSL certificates adhere to industry standards and are regularly audited by independent security firms.
While paid SSL certificates may offer more customer support, Let’s Encrypt provides extensive documentation and support resources on its website, as well as a community forum for assistance. Don’t compromise on security – consider using Let’s Encrypts free SSL certificates for your website.

Is Free SSL Provides Security?
So, is it worth using Let us Encrypts free SSL certificates for your website? Yes. Not only are they just as secure as paid options from trusted CAs, but they also offer a cost-effective solution for website owners. While they may not provide the same level of customer support, the extensive documentation and support resources available make them a viable option for many.
In addition, using an SSL certificate from a reputable CA can also improve your website’s search engine rankings and credibility with users. With all these benefits, it’s definitely worth considering using a free SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt for your website.
What is TLS?
TLS is an upgrade or successor protocol of SSL that gives an extra layer of protection for the website and works the same way as SSL by encrypting the data and information that transfer between network and server. So, in this way, hackers and third parties cannot see or look into the data you transmit which is more helpful in case of private and sensitive information like personal info, card details, and passwords.
Two ways of protocol
1. HTTP:
HTTP is Hypertext Transfer Protocol which is an application protocol layer that helps the user to communicate on the internet between a web browser and the web server to fetch or share the information or files on the web usually done or requested by the recipient through a web browser.
2. HTTPS:
HTTPS is Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure which tells you if the website is secure or not. If the website is not secure then it will load in http and if secure, it will load in https with the help of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS). Without this, the website will lose its credibility and trust among visitors. Also, the data or communication that passes through the internet from browser to server will not be secure and can pave way for hacking and leak of even sensitive data.

Paid SSL:
Purchasing an SSL certificate from a reputable certificate authority, such as Symantec, Global Sign, or Comodo, among others, ensures that the website’s identity has been verified by a trusted third party. These paid certificates offer varying levels of validation, with higher assurance levels indicating a more thorough verification process. Additionally, paid SSL certificates often provide additional perks not found with free options, such as a warranty to safeguard the website owner in case of issues with the certificate.
The process of verifying the identity of an organization before issuing an SSL certificate is known as SSL certificate validation. There are different levels of validation, each with varying degrees of scrutiny and investigation.
Types Of SSL Certificates:
1. Extended Validation Certificates (EV SSL)
2. Organization Validation Certificates (OV SSL)
3. Domain Validated Certificates (DV SSL)
4. Wildcard SSL certificates
5. Multi-domain SSL Certificate (MDC)
6. Unified Communication Certificate (UCC)
Types of SSL Certificates Explained
ALSO READ: How SSL Makes a Difference in SERP?
Extended Validation Certificates:
The highest-ranking and the most expensive SSL certificate is an Extended Validation certificate. This SSL certificate installed displays padlock, HTTP, business name, and country on the browser address bar. Extended Validation Certificate requires the owner to go through the standardized identity verification process to confirm that they are authorized legally to the exclusive right of domains. Furthermore, this SSL certificate is used for high-profile website applications for assurance such as processing logins, collecting data, and online payments.
Organization Validation Certificates:
Organization Validation Certificates are the primary purpose of certification. The CA will contact the organization’s SSL certificate requirements and do some investigation. Also, these Certificates will contain the organization’s name and address which brings trust for users than Domain Validation Certificate.
Domain-Validated Certificates:
Domain Validated Certificates have low assurance and minimum encryption, it is suitable for blogs or information sites. Moreover, the validation process is simple, the domain owner needs only to prove domain ownership by modifying the DNS records or just sending emails to CA. This display only HTTPS and padlock with no business name display.
Wildcard SSL certificates:
Wildcard SSL certificates are for a single domain and also for its multiple subdomains. It ensures that if you buy an SSL certificate for one domain you can use it for all the subdomains. Comparatively, Wildcard domains are cheaper than purchasing several single-domain SSL.
ALSO READ: How do wildcard domain names start with labels?
Multi-domain SSL Certificate:
A Multi-domain SSL certificate can secure many different domain names and subdomains using a single certificate which helps you to save time and money.
Unified Communication Certificate:
A Unified Communications Certificate is also considered a multi-domain SSL certificate. UCC was initially designed for Microsoft Exchange and a live communication server. However, now any website owners use the certificate to allow multiple domain names to get secured in a single certificate. UCC is organizationally validated and displays a padlock on the browser.

Guinea risks 'conflict and confusion' with mining eviction policy
DAKAR (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Civil society groups rejected Guinea’s first policy seeking to protect people displaced by mines and dams on Thursday, saying it would worsen poverty and conflict in the mineral-rich nation. Seven human rights and development organizations asked the government not to adopt the proposed national standards for relocating and compensating displaced communities, and to spend the next six months consulting with local people instead. “If the document is adopted like this, it means the problem will never be resolved,” said Mamady Koivogui, executive director of the Association for Mines Without Poverty, one of the groups which hosted a Conakry news conference on Thursday. “The essential aspects that would prevent people from falling into poverty ... are not addressed in detail. This document will only create more conflict and confusion.” The West African country has among the world’s biggest bauxite and iron ore reserves, which have attracted international mining firms, fuelling anger among locals who say they are evicted without fair consultation or compensation. Few rural Guineans have legally registered ownership of their property and mining companies therefore often maintain that rural lands are state property, Human Rights Watch says. “Since we don’t have a law at the moment, the mining companies apply whatever policy,” said Cece Noramou, a senior official in the mining ministry and president of the interministerial committee that drafted the text. “This (policy) will not prevent displacement, but it will allow the people who are displaced to have rights that are at an international standard,” he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. The document lays out steps including consultation with local people prior to land acquisition and their right to appeal at multiple stages, said Noramou, adding that members of affected communities contributed to its development. But civil society groups said they identified over 20 gaps or problems with the text, such as a failure to prohibit forced eviction and the lack of a guarantee to receive detailed information about the development plans in advance. Nearly 100,000 Guineans risk being displaced by mines, roads, hydroelectric dams and other infrastructure projects that are planned or underway, they said. Noramou said the policy will likely be adopted in the next two or three months, and the government is too pressed for time to do another six months of consultations in rural areas. “Better to have a text in hand with which to start, and as we go along if there are improvements maybe we can improve it,” he said.

I'm using the C# SDK to connect to Azure IoTHub in testing. I'm using the C#SDK symmetric keys and DPS. I've modified DeviceReconnectionSample to work with SymmetricKeySample/ProvisioningDeviceClientSample. Sometimes it works, and sometimes I get this. Note that the connection to DPS works the first time, so I have the correct certificate, and then fails on retry.

Hi @MikeFinch87 Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. Thank you for posting this question here.
Based on the error message it looks like the error message is originating from the retry logic. You may refer to the code sample from CustomRetryPolicy which uses an approach of using the retry policy fully, rather than wrap another retry policy around method calls.
I appreciate it if you can share the modifications made you have made to the DeviceReconnectSample class to help us better understand the potential cause of this issue.
Also, it looks like you are trying to use certificates through the sample. I would like to check with you and see if you have reviewed the article Provision an X.509 certificate simulated device. This provides the steps needed to provision a device using certificates. Kindly review this and see if this addresses your testing needs without having to modify the code.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions or need further assistance.
If the response helped, please do click Accept Answer and Yes for the answer provided. Doing so would help other community members with similar issue identify the solution. I highly appreciate your contribution to the community.

VLAN with unmanaged switches
Hello,
I have actually Cisco and HP switches.
The Cisco are manageable but not the HP.
The computer connected on the HP switches must access on the VLAN23, but I can't tagged the port switches in VLAN23 because they are not manageable.
The switchport access vlan 23 equivalent in HP ....
How can I do ? Can we configure the NIC of the computer in a specific VLAN ?
Thanks for your solution.

Commented:
If everything thats connected to the HP switch is supposed to be in the same VLAN, then thats not a problem at all.
if you want multiple VLANs to be shared by the non-managed HP switch, thats impossible.
As for the 1st cause, just make the port which the HP is connected to as an access port, so the whole "outside" of that port is untagged, and only untagged traffic passes to the HP switch, then tag the traffic from that port on the Cisco and do w/e you need to do.

Commented:
Indeed, all the computer connected to HP switch belong to the same VLAN, VLAN23.
Then I just need to setup the Cisco port linked to the HP as :
# switchport access vlan 23
These command tag all packet directed to the HP with VLAN23.
Did I need to configure the NIC card of the computer in a VLAN or not ?

Commented:
No, you don't need to configure the Nic cards. Just configure the port on the cisco switch that is connected to the hp switch to vlan 23.
just set the port on the cisco to
interface x
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 23
this will make the switchport send out traffic natively without any 802.1q tags.

When the National and American leagues drew up their “peace treaty” following two years of cutthroat competition for star players after the American League declared itself a major league in 1901, a governing body was formed to oversee baseball. The three members were NL president Henry Pulliam, AL president Ban Johnson, and Cincinnati owner Garry Herrmann. Herrmann, widely-respected enough to be considered impartial despite his NL affiliation, served for the life of the National Commission, as did Johnson; Pulliam was followed by his successors as NL president. The Commission saw baseball through a growth in popularity that brought with it a successfully-withstood challenge from the Federal League, but the triumvirate foundered on the Black Sox scandal. Herrmann’s resignation in 1920 broke up the Commission, and its function was replaced by the new office of Commissioner, filled by Judge Landis. | FINEWEB-EDU |
Service branch results of Pentagon first audit ever in 2018
The Pentagon had its first audit ever in 2018.Expectations were pretty low, but the service branches still performed pretty poorly.Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.In 2018, the Pentagon underwent its first audit in the history of the institution — and failed miserably.It will probably surprise no one that the organization which pays hundreds of dollars for coffee cups and thousands for a toilet seat has trouble tracking its spending. But the issues are much deeper than that. The Pentagon's accounting issues could take years to fix, according to then-Deputy Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan."We failed the audit, but we never expected to pass it," Shanahan told reporters at a briefing. "We never thought we were going to pass an audit, everyone was betting against us that we wouldn't even do the audit."The Pentagon famously did the audit with the non-partisan, nonprofit think tank Truth In Accounting. In July 2019, Truth in Accounting released its report card for the branches of service and their reporting agencies.Before ranking the branches, military members should know that the best performers in the audit were the Military Retirement Fund, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, the Defense Contract Audit Agency, and the US Army Corps of Engineers. So we at least know your retirement accounts are exactly what they tell you they are.Unfortunately, the four of the five lowest-scoring entities were the four major military branches.
US Marine Corps
The Marines topped the list as least worst among the branches, probably because they need to scrape together anything they can to train and fight while keeping their equipment in working order.Since the Corps also has the smallest budget, there's like less room for error but remember: It's still the top of the bottom of the list.
US Army and US Navy
Tied for second in terrible accounting practices is the Army and Navy, which kind of makes sense — they have a lot of men, vehicles, purchases, organizations, and more to account for.But if we have to put them at numbers two and three, it would be more accurate to rank the Army higher — its budget is usually twice that of the Navy.
US Air Force
It's not really a surprise that the Air Force has the worst accounting practices of all the branches of the military. This is the branch that uses high-tech, expensive equipment, one-time use bombs, and all the fuel it can handle while still giving airmen a quality of life that seems unbelievable to the other branches.If ever you could accuse an organization of voodoo economics, the smart money is on the Air Force — who would probably lose it immediately.

Running MOGRE project
KidOfTheNeon
29-10-2007 13:47:57
My project is developed under WinXP SP2, MS VS 2005 + SP1, MOGRE 0.2.2. It works well under both release and debug configurations on my computer.
But when I try to run release version on computers with WinXP SP2 or Vista OS, where MS VS + SP1 is not installed (only .NET Framework 2.0), it raises BadImageFormatException. This trouble solves with installing MS VS and SP1.
Is it possible to run release version without installing MS VS ?
pin
29-10-2007 15:13:15
Yes, you need to install VS SP1 redistributable runtime (~ 2MB) You have a download link in the wiki.
KidOfTheNeon
31-10-2007 11:50:48
I've downloaded and installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86), but error remains (CLR cannot load Mogre.dll)
bleubleu
31-10-2007 15:50:56
Ok, try using dependency walker (http://www.dependencywalker.com/ or depends.exe in you VS directory) on some of the unmanaged DLLs (ogremain.dll, the render system plugins, etc.) and look for missing dependencies (like msvcrt8.dll, etc). Depending on who compiled you DLLs, there might be some strange DLLs missing (like msjava.dll).
Let me know if you need help using depends.

So how may resolve this trouble?
KidOfTheNeon
01-11-2007 07:25:13
I've applied depends to mogre.dll: 3 new missing dlls -
msvcm80.dll, msvcp80.dll, msvcr80.dll
Copying these files to bin folder resolves missing dependencies trouble, but there is one more:
Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information in "c:\release\MOGRE.DLL" contains errors. <some unreadable text: > (14001).
KidOfTheNeon
01-11-2007 10:48:00
Ok, I solved this problem with installing VS SP1 redistributable runtime from my Visual Studio's folder, not from MS site, copying msjava.dll and d3dx9_31.dll to program folder.
bleubleu
01-11-2007 19:07:00
Ok cool. It is really not easy to trouble shoot these kind of problem. For some reason, there is no way to know the name of the missing DLLs...

Josh Rutledge
Joshua Alan Rutledge (born April 21, 1989) is an American former professional baseball infielder. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Colorado Rockies and Boston Red Sox between 2012 and 2017.
Amateur career
Rutledge attended Cullman High School, where he was a four-year starter on the baseball team. In 2006, he had a batting average of .436 with five home runs and 33 runs batted in (RBIs). Cullman was the runner-up in the Class 5A state championship. In 2007, his senior season, Rutledge hit .454 with 12 home runs and 69 RBI, and he helped his team win the state championship. The Birmingham News and the Alabama Sports Writers Association named him the Class 5A Player of the Year.
Ruledge enrolled at the University of Alabama and played shortstop for the Alabama Crimson Tide baseball team. In 2008, as a freshman, he started 61 games and led the team in batting average (.369), hits (99), runs scored (62), and stolen bases (16). He became the second freshman to ever lead the team in hitting. From March 26 to May 10, he had a 28-game hitting streak, the third-longest in school history. In 30 SEC games, he batted .406, and his 56 hits led the league. The following season, Rutledge batted .305 with five home runs and 44 RBIs. He was named to the All-SEC first team.
In 2008 and 2009, he played collegiate summer baseball in the Cape Cod Baseball League for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox.
Colorado Rockies
The Colorado Rockies selected Rutledge in the third round of the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft, and he signed with the team on June 25. That season, he played 11 games for the Northwest League's Tri-City Dust Devils. The following season, he played for the Modesto Nuts of the California League. He batted .348 with 9 home runs and 71 RBI and was named the league's player of the week twice. Rutledge was then moved up to the Tulsa Drillers of the Double–A Texas League in 2012. He hit .308 with 13 home runs and 35 RBI.
Rutledge was called up to the major league Rockies in 2012 to play shortstop while Troy Tulowitzki was injured. Rutledge made his MLB debut on July 13. In his first 145 at bats, he batted .345 with 24 extra base hits. Towards the end of the season, he injured his quadriceps and batted .197 in September. He finished his first major league season with a .274 batting average, 8 home runs, and 37 RBI. A natural shortstop, Rutledge began playing other infield positions in 2014.
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
On December 11, 2014, the Rockies traded Rutledge to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in exchange for Jairo Díaz. Rutledge spent half of the season in Triple-A with the Salt Lake City Bees, hitting .286 with 6 home runs and 34 RBI in 81 games before being traded to the Boston Red Sox in July 2015.
Boston Red Sox
On July 27, 2015, the Angels traded Rutledge to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for Shane Victorino and $3.8 million in cash considerations. He was designated for assignment on November 30. The Red Sox selected his contract from Triple-A Pawtucket on April 24, 2016, following an injury to Pablo Sandoval. Rutledge injured his knee in June and was placed on the 15-day disabled list. On July 14, the team transferred Rutledge to the 60-day disabled list. On November 4, Rutledge elected free agency after declining an outright assignment to Triple-A.
On November 23, 2016, Rutledge signed a minor league contract with the Colorado Rockies. On December 8, the Red Sox selected Rutledge from the Rockies with the 26th pick of the Rule 5 draft. He played in 37 games for Boston, batting .224/.297/.262 with no home runs and nine RBI. On August 30, 2017, Rutledge underwent season–ending arthroscopic surgery on his left hip. On November 2, he was removed from the 40–man roster and sent outright to the Triple–A Pawtucket Red Sox.
San Francisco Giants
On December 21, 2017, Rutledge signed a minor league contract with the San Francisco Giants. In 18 games for the Triple–A Sacramento River Cats, he batted .077/.111/.077 with no home runs or RBI. Rutledge was released by the Giants organization on June 27, 2018.
Rutledge retired following the conclusion of the 2018 season.
Personal life
Rutledge was born to Tony and Cheryl Rutledge in Cullman, Alabama, on April 21, 1989.

Description
I'm currently trying to install Parabola into a VM using QEMU on an ArchLinux box to try it out prior to wiping my drive and starting fresh (note: I am aware that Parabola can be installed directly atop of Arch, but I want to redo my partitions anyway, hence starting from scratch).
Following the Installation Guide first and then Beginner's Guide to confirm I'm not missing any steps, I had partitioned and formatted the drive as needed, selected mirrors, and ran pacstrap /mnt base base-devel.
All packages were downloaded and installed fine. The error ocurred while running post-transaction hooks...
:: Running post-transaction hooks...
(1/4) Updating manpage index...
mandb: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct
At this point, the pacstrap command appears to hang. At first, I let it go for roughly 5 - 10 minutes before I hit Ctrl+C, at which point the pacstrap resumes and completes what appears to be successfully. While working on the bug report, something told me to triple check it truly hung, and sure enough, a top command in a separate tty showed that the manpage generation pid was still working (in quiet mode) and it eventually completed on its own, though it took roughly 15 minutes (most likely due to running in a VM and limiting the system's access to only 512MB RAM and no swap).
Running locale shows that everything except for LC_ALL appears to be set as anticipated (forgive any typos: I couldn't figure out how to copy/paste from QEMU, so I retyped everything for your review):

Despite the ultimately successful installation, I decided to still post the bug report due to the error message itself and what appears to be hanging afterwards. Others less familiar with Linux may think (as I initially had) that the system hung, so it may be a good idea to figure out what's causing the error and attempt to remediate confusion for those who attempt to install in the future.
Thank you very much.

You either didn't uncomment en_US.UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen, or didn't run locale-gen after doing so.
Of course, if /etc/locale.gen is being created by pacstrap, and it's the same packstrap command that is generating the warnings, then the issue is that pacstrap doesn't correctly handle when the calling LANG != C. But then, if LANG=en_US.UTF-8 by default on the install CD, then that is a bug with our install media.

The pacstrap command is prior to the instructions to run locale-gen in both guides, so this issue relates to whatever defaults are set up for the installation iso.

Research
Stars form from clouds of gas and dust. These clouds form filamentary structures where most young stars are found. When these filaments develop over-densities (likely due to some turbulent process), they begin their initial collapse to a hot core. These hot cores contain a large amount of angular momentum–so much, in fact, that the angular momentum should rip apart this object if it were to collapse further (i.e., into a protostar). However, we know that stars exist, so there must be a way to get rid of this excess angular momentum.
One way to do this is through magnetic braking. In-falling material can lose angular momentum via the field lines, if the local magnetic field has the right morphology and/or it is strong enough. While this helps solve one problem, magnetic braking creates an issue with disk growth in young protostars.
Disks are important to star and planet formation since they offer another way of angular momentum transport (at smaller and denser scales), and are the future sites of planet formation.
Magnetic fields in Class 0 sources
Using millimeter and sub-millimeter observations, we can observe the dust polarization signature in the youngest protostars (Class 0 sources). In the presence of a magnetic field, dust grains align their short axes to the field, and emit polarized thermal emission. We use these polarization measurements to infer the morphology of the plane-of-sky magnetic field. In Cox et al. 2015, we show the inferred magnetic field of a well-studied Class 0 protostar, NGC 1333 IRAS 4A. Using 8 mm VLA observations we find evidence of a magnetic field that is being wrapped as circumstellar material rotates around the central protostar.
Image of magnetic fields in IRAS 4A from 8 mm continuum emission.
BLAST-TNG is a balloon-borne telescope that is set to be launched from Antarctica late December 2018. This telescope will map out the magnetic fields in many clouds, ranging in distance and star formation activity. Using the larger scale magnetic field morphology allows us to make inferences on quantities such as the local star formation rate. We can use these observations as a theoretical check between what we observe as the magnetic field morphology on even larger scales (from telescopes such as Planck), to those on much smaller scales (from telescopes such as the VLA or ALMA). The results from these upcoming observations will provide us with the ability to start to make concrete claims as to the role magnetic fields play in the beginnings of star formation.
Polarization signatures in protostars
Multiple mechanisms can produce polarized emission. While we are likely tracing magnetically aligned dust grains in diffuse sources (such as the ISM, clouds, envelopes), polarized emission from denser regions may originate due to a different mechanism (e.g., scattering). In Yang et al. 2016, we model the VLA results and find that while scattering does produce some of the observed polarization, most of the emission is due dust grains aligned with magnetic fields.
This is likely due to the 8 mm emission being mostly optically thin. When we use shorter wavelengths, the emission can become optically thick, and scattering can add substantial contributions to the polarization signature. At sub-millimeter wavelengths, the protostar is not visible, so the scattering is from the disk itself. In Cox et al. 2018, we used ALMA 870 µm continuum observations to probe the polarization signature of 10 Class 0 protostars. We found evidence of scattering in the central regions of our candidate disks.
870 µm polarization signature seen in 4 protostars.
To determine the contribution scattering provides to this result (or to back out how much of the polarization is from magnetically aligned grains), we need followup observations using a different ALMA band. Stay tuned for this new data!
Structure of protoplanetary disks
The physical and chemical conditions of protoplanetary disks set the stage for planet formation. How much big and bright a disk is observed to be can be correlated to how massive it is, so we can set an upper limit to how massive its planets. Relatedly, we can study the chemical composition of these disks to learn about what types of planetary atmospheres these planets will have.
When a disk has depleted continuum emission, such as a transition or gapped disk, we often associate it with active planet formation. We are beginning to understand how we can study this structure seen at high-resolutions to relate it to how planets form. In Cox et al. 2017 we examine a survey of 49 pre-main-sequence stars in the Ophuichus cloud using ALMA 870 µm emission. We find 6 systems that show evidence of depleted continuum emission.

It is apparently five storeys in height, but as a matter of fact only one storey is occupied, the first, or " piano nobile " as we would call it. The reason for this being that the Pongyi or priest would refuse to reside in a building where any one's feet were above his head. The first storey of a Kyaung, and this applies to the example at Mandalay, is always raised about 8 to 10 ft. above the ground, being carried on great timber posts.

Preview: St. John's at Seton Hall
Already undermanned, St. John’s could find itself without the services of its best player Sunday when it suits up against No. 24 Seton Hall in a Big East game. Shamorie Ponds injured his right knee in Thursday’s loss to Providence and his status is uncertain for the game with the Pirates. Ponds, a sophomore guard, does a little bit of everything for the Red Storm, including leading the team in points, assists and steals in addition to being second in rebounds. “There’s no doubt he’s one of the best players on our team, one of the best players in our league,” junior Marvin Clark II told the media of Ponds, who sat out the final nine minutes against Providence. “But everyone can bring something to the game.” Chris Mullin’s team was already without its second-leading scorer and one of its top defenders in sophomore Marcus LoVett, who missed his sixth straight game because of a strained left knee. The Pirates endured some defensive struggles by allowing 53 points in the first half to No. 23 Creighton, but righted the ship and overcame a 13-point deficit behind seniors Desi Rodriguez, Angel Delgado and Khadeen Carrington to prevail 90-83 on Thursday. TV: 5 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1 ABOUT ST. JOHN’S (10-3, 0-1 Big East): The return of LoVett could offset the possible loss of Ponds, but if neither is available, it would put pressure on Clark, Justin Simon, Bashir Ahmed and others to carry the load. Clark had 20 points and eight rebounds against Providence and has shown he can score when given the green light to shoot, and Simon can stuff the stat sheet, but has not proven to be an explosive scorer like Ponds, who has seven games with 20 or more points this season. Ahmed is more of a complementary player given his inability to shoot for a high percentage and junior forward Tariq Owens, who has had at least four rebounds and two blocked shots in every game this season, is on the court more for defense than for offense. ABOUT SETON HALL (12-2, 1-0): Michael Nzei may have earned himself a few more games in the starting lineup after his performance against Creighton. The junior forward from Nigeria, starting in place of Ismael Sanogo who returned from a one-game suspension but did not start, had seven points and 14 rebounds, the latter matching Delgado’s total. “We’re coming for everybody’s head right now,” Delgado, who had a team-high five assists in addition to 18 points and 14 rebounds, told the media after Pirates rallied against Creighton. “We’re not giving up. That’s how it is in this league. If you sleep, they eat you.” TIP-INS 1. The Red Storm ranked sixth nationally in blocks per game (6.62), No. 19 in steals per game (8.85) and 27th in field goal defense (38.8 percent) entering Saturday. 2. The Pirates have won three straight games at home and four of six overall against the Red Storm, but still face a 59-38 deficit in the series. 3. Carrington produced his eighth straight game in double figures to become the 18th player in Seton Hall history with 1,500 career points while also surpassing 500 career field goals.

Talk:Manchester Arena bombing/Archive 4
Undoing page move
''Reversed archival to invite discussion. —David Levy 15:49, 25 May 2017 (UTC)''
- Please don't make unilateral page views without discussing it here first. -- Fuzheado | Talk 02:11, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
* Fuzheado: The matter was discussed in a subsection of the move proposal, wherein most editors commenting on the year's inclusion opined that it was superfluous and inconsistent with our naming conventions. Those expressing disagreement cited the following rationales (which I would have addressed, had the discussion remained open):
* "Oppose removing 2017 from the title since the attack occurred in 2017"
* (with no elaboration on why that particular detail – accurate as it may be – belongs in the title)
* "As there is discussion above about possibly removing 'Arena' and/or changing the word incident to bombing, 2017 distinguishes this week's event from 1996 Manchester bombing and 1992 Manchester bombing."
* (This was a valid concern, but "Arena" has not been removed from the title, rendering it moot.)
* "WP:CONCISE does not state any year conventions for names. The year helps with clarity, as there were prior incidents in Manchester. (albeit not in the arena) While it might seem ominous to be talking about future-proofing, that is logical another benefit."
* (Of greater relevance is MOS:PRECISION, which is part of the same longstanding policy. As explained therein, "usually, titles should be precise enough to unambiguously define the topical scope of the article, but no more precise than that." In this instance, "Manchester Arena bombing" fits these criteria. The other Manchester bombings were unrelated to Manchester Arena. Additionally, appending disambiguation to "future-proof" article titles has been suggested and rejected by the Wikipedia community on countless occasions. Preemptively titling the article "2017 Manchester Arena bombing" in case another occurs in a subsequent year, "May 2017 Manchester Arena bombing" in case another occurs this year or "22 May 2007 Manchester Arena bombing" in case one occurs later this month is inconsistent with our established practices.)
* Exceptions arise, of course, but we adhere to guidelines and policies (especially the latter) by default, with deviations requiring consensus. As noted above, not only is there not consensus for an exception, I see a rough consensus against making one. —David Levy 03:22, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
* Incidentally, I just repaired the remaining double redirects created when you reverted the move. —David Levy 03:37, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
* Not sure who is talking to who here, but I never understand the wish to remove year from title if there is the slightest risk of it being a clarifier. 2017 definitely helps clarify IMO, can we not spare the bytes? Pincrete (talk) 16:03, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* It certainly isn't my intention to reduce clarity. With what other Manchester Arena bombing does "2017" prevent confusion? —David Levy 16:15, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* I think that asks the wrong question, title clarity is not simply removing the possibility of obvious mix-ups, it is about clearly identifying the subject and distinguishing it from all the other things it could be about. 'Year' is often an efficient way of doing that. Are you so sure that in a year/10 year's time everybody is going to remember this incident sufficiently well to remember the correct name of the location and whether this was a 21st or 19th century event? I frequently waste time when using WP because titles are not specific enough. Pincrete (talk) 20:17, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* The page will almost certainly get moved to the title Manchester Arena bombing at some point. It will require a full requested move discussion, and it is probably best to wait a while before doing that. There is no particular urgency. Carcharoth (talk) 16:43, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* Such moves usually are treated as routine housekeeping. The longer the article remains at the current title, the more people (including current and prospective editors) will assume that it reflects our naming conventions (thereby perpetuating the cycle). —David Levy 18:37, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
I hope the inevitable vote on this will include the pro's and con's of the proposed move, particularly in bullet style so they can easily be discussed individually. Aside from the ones I wrote in the third point User:Fuzheado mentioned, it's also helpful in terms of finding a particular incident. When you're looking up a category and trying to remember "the one that happened last year" and only have to sift through a few with 2016, you're more likely to find the one of you're thinking of if the year is there. Also, an anvil needs to be dropped regarding the scope of the proposed removal: Five characters including the space. That is nothing. Phones on portrait might put it on a second line with lengthier incidents, but it's so minuscule when compared to the benefits that it's frankly justifiable to consider this repeated discussion trite. WP:CONCISE and WP:PRECISION would be better invoked on less controversial proposals, like for obvious reasons we would not have it be 2017 Manchester Arena section 7 2nd floor bombing. (location made up for example) -- sarysa (talk) 17:01, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* Aside from the ones I wrote in the third point User:Fuzheado mentioned,
* To be clear, I copied the above bullet points (for the purpose of responding). To my knowledge, Fuzheado hasn't addressed the matter in any capacity (despite acting on the move request), except to revert my move and assert that I performed it unilaterally and in the absence of discussion (which I find confusing, given that he surely read the discussion before gauging the consensus determined therein).
* it's also helpful in terms of finding a particular incident. When you're looking up a category and trying to remember "the one that happened last year" and only have to sift through a few with 2016, you're more likely to find the one of you're thinking of if the year is there.
* That's why redirects exist. Unless a second bombing in or near the same arena occurs this year, "2017 Manchester Arena bombing" will continue leading to this article in perpetuity, irrespective of what title is used directly.
* Also, an anvil needs to be dropped regarding the scope of the proposed removal: Five characters including the space. That is nothing.
* That isn't the rationale at all. This is about adherence to our longstanding, consensus-backed naming conventions, which exist for a reason.
* It's been suggested that "2017" functions as a "clarifier", but I believe that it accomplishes the opposite. It implies – incorrectly – that one or more other Manchester Arena bombings have occurred. Conversely, the year's omission conveys otherwise.
* It's reasonable to disagree, but in the absence of consensus to "future-proof" our articles' titles or append information beyond that which is needed to unambiguously define their topical scope (hypothetical changes best discussed at the policy level, not on an arbitrary article's talk page), such deviations should reflect consensus that this is a special case. —David Levy 18:37, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* That's why redirects exist.
* Except I'm pretty sure it's against policy to have categories inside redirects.
* That isn't the rationale at all. This is about adherence to our longstanding, consensus-backed naming conventions, which exist for a reason.
* There are no "longstanding, consensus-backed naming conventions" when it comes to the year. It's not even mentioned on WP:CONCISE (at least as of two days ago) or WP:PRECISION and as you can see here and here, the consensus is very split.
* It's been suggested that "2017" functions as a "clarifier", but I believe that it accomplishes the opposite. It implies – incorrectly – that one or more other Manchester Arena bombings have occurred. Conversely, the year's omission conveys otherwise.
* Semi-valid, but it's both a "first timer's" concern -and- a product of our currently inconsistent naming standards. If all incident articles included the year, it would cease being a self-fulfilling prophecy.
* It's reasonable to disagree, but in the absence of consensus to "future-proof" our articles' titles
* I listed out several benefits coming from a stance of efficiency and ease of use. Cherry picking benefits that have a clear WP: to counter over and over is disingenuous.
* append information beyond that which is needed to unambiguously define their topical scope (hypothetical changes best discussed at the policy level, not on an arbitrary article's talk page), such deviations should reflect consensus that this is a special case.
* While this article is a special case given its relation to two very similar, not exact, but similar articles, it is clear that a site-wide RFC is needed to discuss the part of WP:PRECISION that you left out -- the numerous special naming conventions applied to topics for various reasons. Precision in this case is at odds with usability and clarity.
* In any case, I'm not touching this anymore until an RFC is made. These long block replies over 5 characters are not the best use of either of our time. (though frankly, we should hold our arguments until a site-wide debate is started. this'll just repeat over and over again when some other n'er do well blows themself up) -- sarysa (talk) 19:19, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* Except I'm pretty sure it's against policy to have categories inside redirects.
* It isn't. (Please see Categorizing redirects.) And if it were, that would mean choosing between assisting readers seeking "2017" and assisting those looking under "M".
* There are no "longstanding, consensus-backed naming conventions" when it comes to the year. It's not even mentioned on WP:CONCISE (at least as of two days ago) or WP:PRECISION
* Neither section is intended to address the many relevant contexts individually.
* and as you can see here and here, the consensus is very split.
* Most of those examples are cases in which disambiguation is required (because events otherwise fitting the descriptions occurred in different years). Others are errors that haven't been corrected yet. The encyclopedia is a work in progress, so it's almost always possible to find a given style in use somewhere (rightly or wrongly).
* If all incident articles included the year, it would cease being a self-fulfilling prophecy.
* That would be a reasonable proposal.
* I listed out several benefits coming from a stance of efficiency and ease of use.
* You've expressed disagreement with the naming convention itself (and benefits that you believe an alternative approach would provide), not a special justification applicable to this article in particular. Circumstance-driven exceptions to policy can be made, but simply disagreeing with a policy isn't a such a situation. That's a reason to pursue revisions to the policy.
* Cherry picking benefits that have a clear WP: to counter over and over is disingenuous.
* Sorry; I don't know what you mean here. I will note, however, that I don't aspire to cherry-pick anything or mislead anyone. I've assumed good faith on your part, and I'd appreciate the same courtesy in return.
* While this article is a special case given its relation to two very similar, not exact, but similar articles
* That isn't extraordinary in the slightest. The inclusion of "Arena" distinguishes this event from others. Further disambiguation is redundant and potentially misleading.
* it is clear that a site-wide RFC is needed to discuss the part of WP:PRECISION that you left out -- the numerous special naming conventions applied to topics for various reasons.
* Is this the "cherry-picking" to which you referred? That would be relevant if such a guideline existed in this subject area.
* Precision in this case is at odds with usability and clarity.
* I disagree, for the reasons discussed. But again, it's perfectly reasonable to propose a policy change or the creation of a subject area-specific exception. —David Levy 21:37, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* It is really just the two of you debating this. Others are (sensibly) concentrating on improving the article instead of arguing over the title. David has a point that if it is left too long people will think that the article is correct, but I think he should have faith that a sensible discussion at the right point (when those experienced with article naming conventions will weigh in) will have the right result. As a side point, there is an area of article naming where it is common to have the year in the article title, and that does cause understandable confusion. It is a convention to have the year in the name of event articles relating to earthquakes and similar natural disasters (e.g. 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami - look through the earthquake pages for more examples). That is because natural disasters tend to occur regularly, and because forming names for some events is not easy, so they tend to take the form of . Other random examples: Bridgeton flood of 1934 and 1934 flood in Poland. For events that are less common, it is more common to drop the year or not include it in the first place. Carcharoth (talk) 12:09, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
* Carcharoth: I have no desire to "[argue] over the title". I wanted to simply carry out a mundane task (as I have on countless occasions), but Fuzheado reverted my move and created this section, which Xaosflux (who move-protected the article) advised me to unarchive. Having explained that I'd "invested vastly more time in the matter than is normally expected", I nonetheless complied. Now I'm being criticised for that.
* Well, you're preaching to the choir. As I noted on Xaosflux's talk page, "if every instance [of this situation] required its own discussion, I'm not sure that I'd have time for much else at Wikipedia." I didn't intend to put this theory to the test, but here we are. —David Levy 16:58, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
* My point (I support the move to Manchester Arena bombing) is simply that at this time (for various reasons) it will likely take too much effort and investment of time to effect the move. Time better spent elsewhere. I know from my own experience how frustrating move discussions can be when they go 'wrong'. But the answer is rarely to engage in more discussion, but usually to wait for a better moment to return to the discussion. The 'consensus' box at the top of this talk page (which I've only just noticed) gives links to the two most recent move discussions. It is a definite weakness of the Wikipedia model that a lot of discussion time is spent on article names in the early days when it may not be clear what name an article should be at. But that has always been the case, often frustratingly so. See also Manchester bombing where the earlier article names are pre-conditioning people to expect a year in the article name. Carcharoth (talk) 17:20, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
* Having been criticised for "[making] a unilateral page [move] without discussing it here first", I feel obligated to respond to relevant comments (lest I be accused of performing a drive-by move and dodging accountability therefor). —David Levy 18:01, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
* The page move protection has expired and I won't be personally enforcing it anymore but any other admin may. — xaosflux Talk 11:29, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* Always late to the party...
* The current title is unwieldy; it needn't say that the bombing was at the arena if it includes the year - there haven't been any other Manchester bombings this year. Equally, it shouldn't include the date if it states the bombing is at the arena - there haven't been any bombings at the arena any time other than 2017.
* I'd favour "2017 Manchester Bombing" to fit with 1992 Manchester bombing and 1996 Manchester bombing (and even with articles such as 2017 Westminster attack), but "Manchester Arena Bombing" would be a second choice; just not the clumsy "date and the site together" option unless it becomes necessary because, God forbid, there is second bombing in Manchester this year or a bombing at the arena in future years.Misha An interested observer of this and that 14:41, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Claim of responsibility
I am not sure why this info was removed. Is it in the body of the page somewhere? My very best wishes (talk) 04:09, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* Pinging to explain their edit. — Gestrid ( talk ) 04:24, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* Yes, it's in the aftermath section but undue weight for the lead because it is unverified. ISIL has claimed responsibility for many attacks where they probably knew nothing about it beforehand, eg the 2017 Westminster attack, where they described Khalid Masood as a “a soldier of the Islamic State” (one of their standard phrases) even though investigators believed that Masood was not a member of the organisation. Just because they say these things, it doesn't mean that they are true. Truth, as we know, is the first casualty of war. I don't object to it being in the "Aftermath" section but it is problematic in the WP:LEAD, because it gives the claim far more credence than it actually deserves at the moment. These people are notorious self publicists.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 04:27, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* Masood and the rest were linked to ISIS by only Amaq. This came from Nashir, which at least brands its messages with Islamic State marks. More apparently authoritative. Not to say that makes it leadworthy, but different from just another Amaq. InedibleHulk (talk) 15:47, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* We cannot keep adding just because ISIS claimed it did. Several attacks have been just inspired but do not have any real involvement of the group. Unless they are involved in actual, the info is of little importance. The lede only sums the notable facts. Though it can be said in the lede if they are inspired by it if it was their motive. MonsterHunter32 (talk) 08:39, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* OK, sounds good. My very best wishes (talk) 12:34, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* IMO, the ISIS claim of responsibility is lead-worthy (also noting that it is unconfirmed). I would fight 'tooth and nail' to ensure that the claim is not rendered as fact (ie not in infobox or categories), but it is unrealistic to pretend that the claim is not lead-worthy. The fact that ISIS may very well have known nothing about the event before it happened, or may at most have 'inspired' it is neither here nor there. The claim (properly qualified as such) is very significant.Pincrete (talk) 21:09, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* It's also unrealistic to pretend it's ISIS claiming it's own responsibility, rather than placing responsibility on the crusaders for their transgressions. It's like they pass the buck, then newswriters just pass it right back to them. Wikipedia has no dog in this race; our agenda is simply to relay who blamed who. Might make sense to have the statement and the Western news take on it, side by side. Then everyone learns what they want to learn. InedibleHulk (talk) 23:00, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Is it necessary as of now for a page to be created on perpetrator? I have already started making template and building the page. Any thoughts on if it is okay to do so? DeAllenWeten (talk) 12:48, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
* Definitely no for the time being per WP:BLP1E. It would only end up rehashing the rather limited amount of what we know about him that is already in the article.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 12:52, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
* Agreed, not needed - definitely BPL1E, and latest reports suggest he was only a "mule" - with a mastermind(s?) behind this. Of course what is missing in the current page is any mention that he was Muslim (has a Muslim name, Libyan descent, prayed at a mosque, relevant Islamic terror cats.... But no mention that he was Muslim) - which is relevant given Islamic Terror in general and that allegiance to ISIS or Al-Qaeda is faith based.Icewhiz (talk) 13:06, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
* I've reverted various edits which described him as "Muslim British" or similar. We don't describe people as "Christian British" or "Jewish British". Also, not all Irish Catholics went off and joined the IRA, so we do need to be careful about conflating religious beliefs, nationality and political causes.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me)
* In American parlance Muslim-American would be appropriate (as would any religion or ethnic association). I don't have a strong opinion (as you seem to have) of where Muslim should appear in the text (to comply to British English) - but it is quite obviously relevant and should appear somewhere. It is probably more relevant than his parents coming from Libya. Obviously not all (or most! or even a significant fraction!) of Muslims are ISIS/Al-Qaeda - but all of ISIS/Al-Qaeda members/supporters are Muslim (as are over 90% of contemporary suicide bombers). Might I suggest constructively that you place this factoid where you feel it is appropriate (doesn't have to be next to British)?Icewhiz (talk) 13:30, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
* It's fairly clear that this is linked to Islamism, which according to some definitions is when Islam and political causes overlap. The problem is making this point without going down the usual "all Muslims are bad" route. The article should mention his religious beliefs, but only in the context of how they affected his actions, particularly if extremism was involved.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 13:33, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
* At present we know he was Muslim (and there are various reports, possibly conflicting, of his mosque attendance and behavior). Getting down to the root motivations of a suicide attacker is often quite... unclear... And they often have complex life stories (e.g. the some of the Bataclan perps who were petty criminals that liked drugs, alcohol, and women - and then went off on an Islamist ISIS path)... I can see why "Muslim British" might not conform to UK style. But the fact that he is Muslim is well established - and probably generally relevant to him specifically. We don't have to make inferences beyond that (e.g. "All Muslims are bad") - just stick to the established well known facts. You'll probably get a bunch of other people (aside from myself) inserting this in - so you might as well put this in a manner your feel is stylistically and contextually correct - so that it is mentioned, without giving undue weight.Icewhiz (talk) 13:40, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
* I'm actually of mixed opinion on this one. What you propose has precedent, but it's also too soon. (see Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, Omar Mateen, and Jared Lee Loughner) My recommendation would be to privately keep up an article, maybe in your sandbox, well sourced and in a similar fashion as those pages. If investigations turn up so much information about the man, and in particular nuances that separate him from other ISIL drones, that you can have at least 10 beefy paragraphs on the man, then WP:BOLD and prepare to fight weeks of contesting. -- sarysa (talk) 13:57, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
* No. There is no reason for him to have an article separate from this. What would you talk about in it? His favorite football team? Whether he prefers one lump or two? No, you'd talk about the bombing which is what this article is for.El cid, el campeador (talk) 04:08, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* I'm not sure who this reply is for (so many colons) but there are professions partially and completely dedicated to the study of criminal behavior, motives, childhood risk factors, etc. That's who those articles are for, not unlike the many minor species that have stubs on Wikipedia or individuals who participated in one Olympics 80 years ago. -- sarysa (talk) 17:32, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* Agreed. As the wikipedia is not known to be running out of space, there is no reason to arbitrarily limit the number of articles. If someone wants to write one and there are good WP:RS to support it, they should. XavierItzm (talk) 20:08, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* No reason for article at present, my experience (inc Mateen), is that often this becomes a low level content-fork, where all the silliest speculation goes to, splitting the effort of editors here. There simply isn't enough info at present IMO. Pincrete (talk) 07:26, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
* No reason at present, because you don't have sufficient WP:RS? XavierItzm (talk) 15:18, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* No per WP:BLP1E. I would imagine it's unlikely such an article would ever be expanded beyond a few paragraphs. This is Paul (talk) 21:53, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
Why not other motives mentioned
His sister clearly stated that he wanted revenge for American killing of civilians in airstrikes as well as the killing of his friend though his father refutes the latter (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/25/manchester-bomber-salman-abedi-took-twisted-revenge-love-islam/). But it isn't even mentioned even though it's from someone who closely knew him. Of course the high and might Christ lovers will only see others as "agressors" and "fanatics", and say "Islamic extremism", but not that their own acts are encouraging some to extremism. The acts of "Western" militaries have been used as a successful propaganda for long to recruit people. Biased lying Christians. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:32, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* Here are the articles words: "Miss Abedi ... suggested the bombing of Syria ordered by President Trump in early April had been the final straw; the catalyst for Monday night’s carnage." Based on the wording, it seems to me like this is the sister's hypothesis for what prompted his attack, rather than Abedi's claimed motive. So, we probably cannot list this as a motive in the infobox given current info, but we should mention in the article that his sister believes the US missile strikes on Syria prompted his attack. IWillBuildTheRoads (talk) 00:14, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
And the killing of his friend which even shocked the whole Libyan expatriate community in Manchester. It is there in the article. Stop hiding it! <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:05, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
* The thinking behind the deletion seems to be that if we don't mention ISIS' claims, we can't mention hers. That doesn't seem like it makes any sense, and even if it does, the ideal solution would mention both theories, not none. The idea that American actions inspire terror attacks is a touchy one, but it's often claimed. As long as we're attributing it to his sister, Wikipedia pushes no agenda. Restoring till a better reason comes around. InedibleHulk (talk) 13:02, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
* I hadn't noticed that ISIS claims had gone, that is ridiculous IMO, ISIS claims should be there as such, ie claims not facts. Agree that sister's comment should be briefly covered.Pincrete (talk) 14:25, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
* It's quite likely that Abedi had listened to the routine extremist propaganda about how his bombing would help to avenge the deaths caused by Western bombing in Syria. However, it is rather second hand and speculative at the moment.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 14:34, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
* I've restored the ISIS claim of reponsibility AS CLAIM. There may well be sources sceptical as to whether they are involved, I leave it to others to find them. Pincrete (talk) 14:50, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
* I've tweaked the lead to say they say he was their fighter. They don't claim to be responsible for what they say he did, at least not directly. Just told anyone anywhere to kill anyone in any way at any time, basically. If actively commanding a global network of minions were that easy, everyone would do it. InedibleHulk (talk) 16:30, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
ISIS has already claimed responsibility. Terrorism is usually done in honour of islam. Neither the news or I take the sister seriously on it. I mean the family claimed in the Orlando shooting case, that the son might be gay and therefore killed so many people. But later on they found out that an imam called to kill homosexuals because that would be mercy. Sorry, but I am quite sure that this is just another attack done by the religion of peace.--Rævhuld (talk) 18:10, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
* The family did not claim Omar Mateen was gay, it was the media and local gays, his ex-wife confirmed that she thought during their marriage that he could have been gay and the father implied that Mateen hated gays. But why let facts spoil a good rant? Pincrete (talk) 21:49, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* Normally we don't try to rationalize terrorist attacks. And, his sister was literally just speculating and had no evidence and didn't even claim that he had actually said he was doing it for that purpose. After all she "didn't know" about the attacks beforehand. How can she /know/ the motivation behind them? She can't, she is speculating. So that's why. Plus the statement makes her sound like a psychopath "whether he did find revenge is between him and god." Excuse me? And you also sound like a psychopath. El cid, el campeador (talk) 03:19, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
Please tone down your comment. This isn't a place blaming any one for any biased narrative, nor defending anyone's acts. Her sister's statement cannot be considered as the definite truth. We only add what investigators or police find.
* And you Rævhuld, this is not a place for pushing your personal POV on any attack or religion or person. Wiki rules clearly state that personal POV aren't allowed here. this isn't a social forum to discuss anything or attack anyone or make guesses based on what your political opinion is. The attack on Orlando occurred 3 years after an Orlando imam made a speech about killing homosexual people for mercy (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jun/13/farrokh-sekaleshfar-imam-speaking-orlando-said-gay/). This may or may have not had an impact on the shooter, regardless we don't base edits on guess-work of what might be the motive. And regardless, we add what is based on facts, not out of political opinions. This is a place for editing and contributing. You have already been warned and adviced by multiple users for your disruption. This is not a political blog. You can choose to contribute or be disruptive, in which case there are strict rules against it. MonsterHunter32 (talk) 08:52, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
What actually motivates terrorists?
There is an interesting piece of recent research from Colombia in BBC News here. It suggests that what sets terrorists apart is their belief that even the most extreme actions are justified as long as they help the cause; some people might say that this is hardly a new observation. Most terrorists are not mentally ill or stupid (a common myth) but they are convinced that what they are doing is right. As for this edit where Andy Burnham said that Abedi "was not a Muslim", this isn't strictly correct as he did go to a mosque at some point. Burnham seems to be saying "not all Muslims are terrorists" which is obviously true, but radical/extremist Islam is a fringe version of the religion rather than a completely separate phenomenon.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 18:49, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* Conviction that you're doing a good thing is a fine way to cope with the action, but it's not the motivation. Says most Colombian terrorists did it for money and religion was irrelevant. A Salafi suicide bomber more likely has it the other way around. InedibleHulk (talk) 19:18, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* Niccolò Machiavelli never said "the end justifies the means" (another common myth) but the Colombian study suggests that this is what goes through the minds of terrorists when planning or justifying their actions. Some Islamic extremists want a Caliphate, where Islam is the only permitted religion. Others have become obsessed by the civil war in Syria and have found ways of dragging in people from other countries to fight it, including outside the borders of Syria. The Manchester bombing may be a combination of both, but since Abedi doesn't seem to have left behind any videos or social media posts explaining why he did it, there is room for debate about the motive.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 19:33, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* Surfing social media for videos is one way of getting answers. Arresting and interrogating a man's friends and family is another. It takes longer and journalists can't tweet along in real-time, but police will eventually share many interesting links they found, from real contacts at physical sites. Not so forthcoming as the unauthorized and unaccountable "law enforcement sources" in America, but not entirely stingy and secretive, either. Just temporarily cautious. Those reasons, too, will be considerably clearer later. In the meantime, there's always room for debate in the virtual world. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:05, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* Burnham is an apologist for Islamic terrorism. I am involved in animal rights activism and take part in peaceful demonstration, boycotts etc, but then there is also the militant wing that send death threats and trash science labs etc. They undermine everything we do and hold back the cause. In terms of motivation though they are essentially no different to me: the only thing that differentiates them from me is their response, not their beliefs. I believe the exact same thing is going on in Islam. Peaceful Muslims condemn this behavior not because they disagree with the beliefs of these people but because they find their methods counter-productive. There are over 50 Muslim countries in the world and can anybody name one that has peaceful democratic values and a way of life entirely consistent with Western principles? Muslims living in Western countries want those countries to conform to Islamic values; the "war" within Islam is basically about methodology, not ideology. Betty Logan (talk) 19:55, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
Completely naive. Hey, do you even use Wikipedia while you are on it? "There are over 50 Muslim countries in the world and can anybody name one that has peaceful democratic values and a way of life entirely consistent with Western principles?" Now whether or not they might be copying and enslaving themselves to the West. Yes many of them have democratic principles like in the Balkans like Albania, Bosnia or Kosovo and even some others that still have it to some degree though they might be in actual dictatorships. Bangladesh has its problems with radicals trying to change its system and has blasphemy law that isn't much different from hate speech in India, instead of death like in Pakistan, it's only imprisonment. Of course it has problems like others, and isn't a photocopy of the "Western" countries but that doesn't mean you stereotype it or anyone else. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:00, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
As for what makes a terrorist, no it isn't that someone gets radicalised one day and starts wanting to kill the "infidel" non-Muslim some time late. Even terrorist propaganda uses multiple reasons, presenting non-Muslims as the enemy is just one part. ISIS often uses dead civilians in Western military action as propaganda. The March Mosul airstrike is a recent example. Military actions, historical narrative and a narrative of Western option play a large part in this game. And I'm not making any excuses. I've seen Muslims who are angry at the European and American countries for killing civilians in military action, though not radicalised but it can help. Then again there is also the historical side to it. Most prominently the Crusades though some Christians may want to call it a response to Muslim conquests and less prominently the Byzantine rule in Middle East which was partially tossed out by the early Muslims and later completely by Ottomans. This helps in presenting a picture that Christians have always been invaders. The narrative of opression whether it be some of the European governments banning some activities Muslims consider cultural also, as well as the hate spread by some politicians including left-wing and right-wing. There are many other things. It's not like they're all just impaired by some religious thought. It is a combination of these factors which generates sympathy for terrorists, leads them to believe they are correct and at the same time religious teachings of wars of early Muslims with the non-Muslim enemies are also used to describe the non-Muslims as enemies. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:00, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Infobox map relevence
Hello is it really relevent to have the option to show the UK, European Union and Show All, isn't the map of Manchester alone enough? with all the options it just makes the infobox look cluttered. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 10:49, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* Agreed. However, some edits have suggested that some users may need a geography lesson about where Manchester is. What do other users think? People are expected to know where Orlando in the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting is without a map.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 11:17, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* What about removing the map altogether? For many similar articles, the map coordinates and wikilinks are considered sufficient.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 12:36, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* I think the map is important, and I also think that assuming that non-UK Wikipedia readers know where Manchester is located inside the UK is stretching it. Whether a radio-box is needed for UK, EU, and world.... I think the EU could be cut (both for sake of brevity and due to Brexit) - but both are important information tidbits. Besides cutting out maybe one radio button - I wouldn't change it.Icewhiz (talk) 14:54, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
British
None of the three sources supporting the first two sentences in the section on the attacker mentions that he is "British" or a citizen or where his passport is from. Was he, in fact, a British citizen? Can we get a source added that explicitly states that, if it is true? Rmhermen (talk) 19:08, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* Here for instance - - "Salman Abedi, a 22-year-old British citizen born to Libyan parents, died in the attack, which targeted Grande's young fans as they left the indoor arena.". I don't think it is in doubt he held a British passport (there were also stories on his parents taking his passport from him, but then giving it to his so he could travel to Mecca). The sole possible question regarding citizenship, I believe, is possible loss of citizenship (or treason) by serving in the armed forces of ISIS (which could be seen as an enemy state) - however this hasn't brought up by the UK government, I believe, against any ISIS fighter returning (it is a whole can of worms - from the definition of treason, down to whether one sees ISIS as a state).Icewhiz (talk) 19:16, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* It is WP:OR, but his birth record is here and would have given him British citizenship. Boris Johnson was born in New York, and had dual UK/US citizenship until 2016. There is no obvious reason why someone born in Manchester shouldn't have British citizenship. It is possible that Abedi was entitled to dual nationality because his parents were Libyan, but that's another matter. It is also worth pointing out that Abedi's British passport would have been gold dust to his extremist handlers, because it gave him wide ranging freedom to travel to various countries.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 19:26, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* It is my understanding that being born in the UK is not sufficient to grant citizenship, unlike the U.S. If his parents were only refugees and not citizens (and I don't know their status either), then they couldn't pass that citizenship down to him. Rmhermen (talk) 20:08, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* Another question is whether he had Libyan citizenship (as his parents probably did). For British citizen, Washington Post or Independent both also state this. -- zzuuzz (talk) 20:09, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* There are various sources saying that he did have British nationality. British nationality law can be a bit complicated, but Abedi looks like he would have met the requirements.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 20:14, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
Title: bombing, incident or mass murder?
Should the title be bombing or would mass murder be more descriptive and accurate? A bombing might just involve property damage but when multiple persons are killed it becomes a mass murder, right? That would also allow a linking in the article to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_murder and underscore the significance of the act/event.
Instead of just changing the title I wanted to start the discussion here. I'm a new editor so I'm not sure the convention on discussion --> vote --> change, so feel free to educate me if there's a better way to do this.
Mreed911 (talk) 16:11, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* The convention can be read at WP:RM. In short: If you have a specific suggestion, feel free to start a Requested Move discussion ("RM").
* If you don't have a specific suggestion, for instance if you have several suggestions and are unsure which would be the best or just feel that the current title is bad but don't know what might be a better title, simply starting a discussion as you did here is appropriate. TompaDompa (talk) 16:27, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* "Incident" is way too vague. "Mass murder" also has this problem. 49 people were killed in a shooting in Orlando but they are both mass murders. Also, some mass murders are the work of ordinary criminals or people with mental health problems, while Salman Abedi knew perfectly well what he was doing and was convinced that his chosen deity would be so proud of it. The current title has a consensus but some people would like to drop the "2017" part, although I think it's OK to have this.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 16:38, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* Mreed911 I think the general view expressed on prev. discussions here was that renames are best postponed until things 'settle down', there should then be a clearer picture of how this event is most commonly and most clearly spoken about, which are more important considerations than 'underscoring the significance of the event'. Hope this helps. Pincrete (talk) 11:47, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
* Bombing is the most descriptive and accurate - and avoids POV. While just about everyone on the English Wikipedia (myself included) would agree this was a mass murder an Islamist jihadist (ISIS and the like) would see this as an act of war (as a retaliation or reprisal attack). Incident is vague (and it is normally used in a more complex military action, normally when there are POV issues and possibly disagreement on the actors/location/sequence of events). Therefore bombing should be preferred.Icewhiz (talk) 12:55, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
How to phrase the number of deaths
So this has been discussed at least three times before (here, here, and here), but back then it was mostly focused on the sourcing. No clear WP:CONSENSUS was established and it keeps getting changed back and forth, so I'm bringing it up here to settle it for good so the WP:Edit warring can stop.
Should the number of deaths be phrased as "22, excluding the attacker" (or some equivalent thereof) or "23, including the attacker" (or some equivalent thereof) ? TompaDompa (talk) 21:23, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
* It doesn't matter, and both can be used, though I'd suggest that the infobox should follow the article text. I suppose we'll have to reach some sort of consensus to prevent continual changing; I don't have a strong opinion. But "22" is not "the number of people killed", that's just incorrect. 22 concert-goers and parents seems reasonable. And 22 is not the number of victims—the injured are victims too. Pol098 (talk) 21:40, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
* Technically speaking, the parents are also concert-goers, since they were at the concert. But that's beside the point, I think.
* No, some were in the area to pick up their children and had not attended.
* I would say we should use "23, including the attacker" (or some equivalent), as that's what's most commonly used when speaking about shootings, bombings, etc.. Have you ever heard a news reporter say something like, "Twelve people were killed, not including the shooter." I haven't. — Gestrid ( talk ) 01:10, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* My preference is "23, including the attacker", also used at articles such as 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 05:06, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* The sources overwhelmingly use the figure of 22, not "23 including the attacker". Just check the 81 refs. Or google. If you google "manchester bombing 22" you get "22 people killed"; if you google "manchester bombing 23" you get "23 people still in critical care" or a date of 23 May. It's even more striking if you use "twenty-two" and "twenty-three". The article should say what is in the sources (per multiple discussions re Islam, ISIS etc. above), not what is in the Orlando article. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 09:11, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* "23, including the attacker" fits with the style used in similar articles (E.g. 2017 Westminster attack, September 11 attacks, November 2015 Paris attacks. The sources may headline the 22 victims killed, but they also make it clear that the attacker was killed as well; thus 23 deaths is not only accurate but does agree with the sources.Misha An interested observer of this and that 14:28, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
* Agree that "23, including the attacker" fits with the style used in similar articles and is simple. Pincrete (talk) 11:27, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
* Regardless of what sources say "23 including the attacker" at least to me makes much more sense and I believe we use this everywhere ?... Anyway "22 inc attacker" makes more sense. – Davey 2010 Talk 19:40, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

* That other Muslims denounce the way he practices his faith does not make him non-Muslim. For example, the Ku Klux Klan is considered Christian, but nearly all other Christians have denounced the vile way they practice their faith. IWillBuildTheRoads (talk) 00:01, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
* Include per WP:NPOV. He was a Muslim. When terrorism occurs and people explodes, that has often something to do with the religion of peace. Islam is clearly the motive behind the bombing. People know that not all Muslims explode and it's not the fault of all Muslims. But excluding reason and motive behind this terror attack is just not great.--Rævhuld (talk) 00:16, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

* Include as it is SO pertinent and sourced, and obviously relevant. And surveys like this are extremely annoying, as this should not be even up for debate as it's not debatable at all that this man's being "Muslim" (otherwise Wikipedia will be an even bigger joke than it is to many people, for suppression of facts, per lefty agendas, etc) should be included in the article, as a point of fact, and point of relevance. Sources say so (even lefty "mainstream" ones), and this very attack was done IN THE NAME of the Muslim religion. Regardless of whether some people think that that's "not true Islam". (Another debate) Regards. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:48, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
* Include but it should be clarified that he was a Sunni Muslim, Shias, Sufis and Ahmadis have nothing to do with these Eurpe wide terror attacks. Its not Islamic terrorism but fundamentalist Sunni one.
* Include but the article needs to make clear than being an Islamist extremist headbanger is not the same thing as being a mainstream Muslim. Various ongoing political conflicts in the Middle East are also a major factor in motivating this type of extremism.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 04:12, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Threaded discussion
* re: "in a way as to not disrupt the flow of the article", the way it is now, was a 22-year-old Libyan-British man from a Muslim household, is probably as good as it can ever be given that something else is tacked to "British", which is the standard Omar Mateen uses. The other possibility could be Muslim-British man of Libyan descent. (this flows better IMO, but I'm picking my battles) -- sarysa (talk) 19:57, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* I'm not to sure on "Muslim-British". Muslim is a religion, British is an nationality. Hyphening them together could make Muslim look like a nationality and/or British as a religion. I believe the common term is British-Muslim. Islam in the United Kingdom uses the term UK Muslim, and then we've got List of British Muslims. So with that in mind I would go for something along the lines of British Muslim man of Libyan descent. Wes Wolf Talk 20:05, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* Ah, my ignorance in all things British shines through. I'll take your word for it and support your suggestion. -- sarysa (talk) 20:11, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* It is not a case of "all things British shines through"; the same would apply for any nationality. French Muslim, Italian Muslim, American Muslim. For whatever reason, the nationality comes before the religion when it is being put into context. So if we are going to get picky, then it would be "all things English grammar shines through". Wes Wolf Talk 20:32, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* Unaware of this discussion, I removed the 'Muslim-British'/'Libyan-Muslim ancestry', since Muslim is neither a nationality nor an 'ancestry' as others have pointed out.Pincrete (talk) 20:25, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* NB, just to point out that the Q. asked and answered here is about inclusion in the article, not inclusion in the lead. No view was asked or answered about inclusion in the lead.Pincrete (talk) 17:54, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* It was agreed to put it in the article and the lead is part of the article. I created this RfC to get a consensus so that people would stop deleting 'Muslim' out of the article because they felt like it, but now you are just looking for loopholes. How about instead you just admit that the consensus is against you and focus on another one of Wikipedia's millions of articles. Give it a rest.El cid, el campeador (talk) 17:40, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
* El cid, el campeador, before being wholly and needlessly offensive, you might bother to check that I 'voted' for inclusion and restored 'Muslim' in the body of the article. The reason for my post here is because people were edit-warring 'Muslim' in/out of the lead claiming this RfC gave them authority to do so. I hope you have the good grace to acknowledge that this RfC did not decide whether 'Muslim' should/should not be in the lead because it did not even ask that question, nor did anyone answer it. Before leaving another offensive post, try doing something useful like checking your facts, you'll make yourself look less stupid that way. Pincrete (talk) 18:59, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Two new stories
This piece claims that the 'parents warned authorities' story actually came from US intell. (via CNN) the local police also claim to have not known about Abedi, other than for trivial reasons. This could of course be police 'passing the buck'.
This is even more significant, it basically says 'probably no network', Abedi sourced all the bomb components himself, police now believe. Also further releases. I don't have time at the moment (RL calls), but am posting here. Pincrete (talk) 09:16, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
Draft for Ariana Grande's benefit concert and BBC television special: One Love Manchester
I created Draft:One Love Manchester, if any page watchers want to help expand the article about the upcoming benefit concert and television special. Thanks, --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:08, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* Why create an article for a single concert? It would be better as a section in either the Dangerous Woman Tour article, or this article. Splintering it into its own article just forces people to click around more without adding anything helpful and encyclopedic. -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:20, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* Don't see why this needs be merged with anything else. Is the Wikipedia running out of server space? Didn't think so. Please drop me a note when you publish, I'll be happy to have a look. XavierItzm (talk) 18:35, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* Articles on one-off multi-performer concerts with this kind of publicity are not so unusual, and I think you could probably say it's not part of the Dangerous Woman Tour. Anyway, the article has now sprung up at One Love Manchester (music event) -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:08, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* Agree with zzuuzz, articles of this nature are not so rare, and we have a category for benefit concerts. Besides it has already passed the level of media coverage that would require us to ask questions about its notability. Also it's being televised, as were events such as The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. This is Paul (talk) 19:23, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
Should the suicide bomber get an infobox?
Someone added an infobox for the murderer, which I removed, and then someone added it again. By convention we don't usually add infoboxes for perpetrators in these types of articles as it tends to memorialize them (see 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting for example). What does everyone else think?- MrX 11:56, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
* I'm not convinced at the moment. The main problem is that isn't saying anything that the text of the article doesn't already say, leading to redundancy.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 12:01, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
* Agreed. It especially leans towards editors wanting to populate the "motive" field, for which we have no confirmation from police. — Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 12:04, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
* It is also essentially redundant to the infobox immediately above it. Two boxes are not needed here. BencherliteTalk 12:05, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
* I think a infobox is not necessary. We can cover his "biography" in the perpetrator section.--Skim
* The infobox should be added back. It provides encyclopaedic information in a quick, digestible format for readers. XavierItzm (talk) 18:05, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
* That's because the Orlando perp has his own page. The infobox is there. The fact that the template exists and is in use on 2700 pages is a testament to the fact Wikipedia is about the preservation of information above emotional considerations. -- sarysa (talk) 19:33, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* Yep. Infoboxes are encyclopaedic whereas lack of infoboxes is unencyclopaedic. This is why infoboxes were created in the first place! To use sentimental reasons to whittle down an encyclopaedic work is quite childish. XavierItzm (talk) 20:03, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
* Infobox is redundant duplication given the relative paucity of info. Pincrete (talk) 07:31, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
* It's not just sentimental. It sends a message to future murderers that they will go down in history. I find it immoral to provide incentive for acts like this. Boardhead (talk) 14:30, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
* So, you see, here user Boardhead believes Wikipedia is not an encyclopaedia, but instead, a vehicle for his "messages." XavierItzm (talk) 15:15, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Only once this case is closed, can we evaluate whether he is deserving of a page, it seems that as Ian says, not enough information is present, a biography is all that is required, as what we know about him is little. Factsoverfeelings (talk) 13:31, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

* I think an Info Box is useful. Yes, by definition, it is going to duplicate and repeat whatever information is already in the article. However, it is a quick read and a quick "snap shot" for people to get the information quickly, without having to sift through the narrative of the article. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:12, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* So, do we have a consensus that the infobox should be reinserted? XavierItzm (talk) 23:43, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
* In a word, no. I see as many objectors as supporters. What is known about Abedi that does not fit in the opening sentence of 'Attacker' ?Pincrete (talk) 08:28, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* So, you think infoboxes are to contain only non-duplicative material? I don't think infoboxes are what you think they are. As Joseph A. Spadaro said, inboxes are «a quick read and a quick "snap shot" for people to get the information quickly, without having to sift through the narrative of the article.» XavierItzm (talk) 18:38, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* Being Joseph A. Spadaro, myself, I agree with what Joseph A. Spadaro said above. Yes, I think an Info Box is useful, despite the fact that it will -- by definition -- contain duplicate or "redundant" information. I don't see any harm in adding the box. Why exactly is this an "issue"? What is the harm in adding a box? Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 21:52, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* Also, we should review "What is the purpose of an Info Box?". It says -- with my "edits" for brevity and concision -- Keep in mind the purpose of an infobox: to summarize (and not supplant) key facts that appear in the article. The less information it contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance. Wherever possible, present information in short form, and exclude any unnecessary content. It also has an added benefit, of which I was completely unaware until just now, having just re-read the policy: namely, Using an infobox also makes the data within it available to third party re-users such as DBpedia in a granular, machine readable format, often using microformats. (Whatever all that technical-speak means.) Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 22:01, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
Social and political effects
This seems a little off-topic here. There may be a place for it in the Reactions article since it would appear to be a reaction. Failing that then it's wholly an issue for the article about the general election. I won't remove it myself though until we have consensus on what to do. Any thoughts? This is Paul (talk) 14:23, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
* Agreed and removed. It also has problems with WP:10YT. ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 15:48, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
* A shorter version has reappeared, which I still think is off-topic, mildly synthy and probably fails 10WT, if not 10DT! Pincrete (talk) 21:18, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
* TompaDompa (talk) 01:43, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* This is still close to being removed for its fuzzy sourcing. It is notable that the bombing occurred smack in the middle of the campaigning of the United Kingdom general election, 2017, but it's unlikely that Abedi was too worried about this, because the date of Grande's concert was known months in advance, and may have been chosen as an ideal target for a suicide bomber long before Theresa May decided to call the snap election in April. It disrupted the election campaign for several days, but things are pretty much back to normal now.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 18:07, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* I have no desire to start an WP:Edit war, but it seems obvious to me that it must at the very least be rephrased to accurately reflect what the source actually says – the text as of my writing this is a prime example of editorializing. I would still prefer it to be removed altogether, though. TompaDompa (talk) 18:26, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* I think it is going to come up every day in one paper or another as to whether/how much/in what way this incident has affected the election. Short of some monumental blunder by any politician, I think this belongs on the election page for now. Pincrete (talk) 18:40, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* I've removed the claims which are WP:OR-ish and WP:CRYSTAL at the moment. The 2004 Madrid train bombings occurred three days before the general election in Spain, and are notable because the Spanish government originally blamed ETA (separatist group) although it subsequently became clear that the attack was the work of Islamist extremists. Nobody seriously doubted that the Manchester Arena bombing was the work of an Islamist extremist, but it's too early to say whether it had any major impact on the 2017 General Election in the UK.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 05:28, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
Name written in Arabic
Why is Abedi's name rendered in Arabic? I thought policy was that we rendered 'foreign' names only when people were actually known by them in that form in the public sphere previously. Do we put Sadiq Khan in Urdu because his father was Pakistani? Perhaps we should render everyone with Irish antecedents in the Gaelic form of their name? Pincrete (talk) 19:47, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* In this case this is an ISIS fighter who spent part of his life in Libya and Syria (returning recently to the UK to carry out the attack) and whom wad can assume was covered concurrently in Arabic sources to English ones, possibly carrying information that was not in the English. This is quite different from Sadiq Khan, where we are only talking about ancestry. Use of Gaelic, a language being politically brought back to life, but of minor usage is a different matter. The ISIS communique taking responsibility was in Arabic. Icewhiz (talk) 19:58, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* ISIS releases English versions, too. American English, but English enough. Didn't name him, so doesn't much matter. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:47, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* Per WP:ENGLISH: Names not originally in a Latin alphabet, as with Greek, Chinese or Russian, must be transliterated into characters generally intelligible to literate speakers of English.
* However, Abedi's birth certificate (as can be seen here) shows that his name is originally in a Latin alphabet (specifically, the name is given as Salman Ramadan ABEDI), and thus WP:ENGLISH is not applicable here. TompaDompa (talk) 20:24, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* TompaDompa, my point precisely, he was British and known by his 'latinised' name. As a Muslim, he may very well have known Arabic and he had been to Libya (not Syria according to RS) but there is no reason to believe he has ever been known by his Arabic name ...... Do all Jewish people get their names rendered in Hebraic if they've been Bar Mitzvah'd and/or visited Israel? Pincrete (talk) 23:20, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
Just a note here. Per WP:ENGLISH, I really don't think the title of this thread should be in Arabic. Not only is this the English Wikipedia, where we use English, but it also makes it difficult to search for the section, since I imagine not many of us have access to Arabic text keyboards. The title I've replaced it with is is how it appears when run through Google Translate. To me that suggests the Arabic text name used could be wrong anyway, though I must admit my Arabic isn't what it should be. This is Paul (talk) 19:54, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
* We should use WP:ENGLISH. I don't speak Arabic. Many of us don't speak Arabic. Wikipedia should be in English!--Rævhuld (talk) 16:54, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
* All of us speak and hear way more Arabic than many realize. Only the reading and writing is doomed to fail, if the last several centuries are any hint. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:58, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
Incorporate some of reaction article into main one?
IMO the reaction article is way too long. It has more than twice the number bytes of the main article. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:37, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
* Some of the country quotes could certainly do with consolidating, and I'm not sure it's necessary to mention what every single leader said. But that's probably not for this page. This is Paul (talk) 21:48, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
* The whole reason Wikipedia built those pages is to keep that stuff away from these pages. If a town dump grows too big, nobody asks to bring the garbage back home. A sustainable wasteland comes from burning what can be burned and squashing the rest together. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:50, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
* Like the analogy, very true. Just to clarify though, I meant my comments probably weren't really for this page since they concern an aspect of the Reactions page. Consolidating the stuff is a discussion to be had there, I suspect. This is Paul (talk) 23:12, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
* Absolutely. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:31, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* Please don't. The last thing that this article needs is an unencylopedic list of who said what after the tragedy.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 04:59, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* There is a legitimate discussion to be had about what should be included here and what to keep over there. The Queen and the Prime Minister (Theresa May) both visited the children's hospital and the injured being treated there. Currently the Queen's visit is tucked away in 'Political responses - Domestic' in the reactions article (since when was the Queen a politician?), and Theresa May's visit is not mentioned at all. The lead section of Reactions to the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing is good - maybe the last paragraph over there should be included here? I agree that the long quote farm over there should be kept away from here. Carcharoth (talk) 11:29, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
* Royalty doesn't need to seek reelection, but does need to remain popular enough to stave off rebellion. It's easier, though still takes a fair amount of politicking.

Attacker's religion, again
Re this edit: yes, he was a Muslim (at least, he is known to have gone to a mosque at some stage) but "British Muslim" is a clumsy phrase because we don't normally talk about "British Christians", as this implies that religion and nationality are somehow linked. Salman Abedi was as British as a plate of fish and chips, but he abused the freedoms that he was given for reasons that are now depressingly familiar. There may still be some people who think that Abedi was not born or brought up in Britain because he was "an immigrant" of some description, but while his parents could be described in this way, he could not.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 16:51, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* Could you perhaps suggest an alternative way of including it that you would find more acceptable? TompaDompa (talk) 17:07, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* First and foremost, he was a British citizen. He was born and brought up in Manchester, there is no debate about this. Britain is a multicultural society, so people are free to choose what religion to have, or none at all. It's lazy wording to imply that religion and nationality are in any way linked; nationality is a matter of law, while religion is a matter of personal choice. Abedi is known to have worshipped at a mosque at some stage, but acts of extremist stupidity are also driven by affiliation to political causes, such as "avenging the Western bombing in Syria" or "stopping Western support for Israel". It is tendentious to imply that being a Muslim in itself would have provided a reason for what Abedi did, as Islamist extremism is associated with a range of political ideas. I'm not sure if the WP:LEAD is the best place for saying "he was a Muslim" for these reasons, which is why I preferred "British citizen" in the lead.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 17:15, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
Since we had an entire RfC to include it, it will stay in until you can think of a better format for it. You can't just single-handedly decide that it's clumsy and take out any mentions of it. That's what the RfC was for, and the verdict was clear. El cid, el campeador (talk) 17:30, 28 May 2017 (UTC) And you took out British Muslim in the lead and in the attacker section. I don't know how I can assume good faith when you are going over everyone's head and making edits you know are against consensus. El cid, el campeador (talk) 17:33, 28 May 2017 (UTC) Just because he technically had a British passport does not a briton make in terms of nationality or ethnicity. He was born to non-British parents and moved back and forth between the UK, Libya, and Syria. His Britishness is vey mych an open question, this is not open and shut, some would claim he was not British. It is probably better to state "British citizen" and not an unqualified briton or british.Icewhiz (talk) 17:39, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* There is consensus for saying that he was a Muslim, but "British Muslim" downplays and removes that fact that he was a British citizen. People can acquire citizenship though naturalisation, but Salman Abedi did not. He was as much a person born and bred in Manchester as Oasis (band). The Gallagher brothers come from an Irish Catholic background, but they are still British citizens from Manchester.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 17:46, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* You are stating a perfectly acceptable mainstream POV, but would the EDL agree with you? UKIP? I changed it to "British citizen of the Muslim faith with Libyan ancesrty" which I believe is technically accurate with bringing in POV over Britishness or whether British Muslim is acceptable.Icewhiz (talk) 17:52, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* Got reverted by }. I will not edit war here, but all the Rfc decided was that Muslim stays, not exact wording. "British Muslim" is not accurate and brings in POV regarding Britishness.Icewhiz (talk) 17:56, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* Hopefully the English Defence League wouldn't be allowed to edit the article outside Wikipedia guidelines. There is a long history of the far right implying that Muslims are somehow not "proper" British citizens, which isn't true. Incidentally, it's interesting that Tommy Robinson (activist)'s parents were Irish, to be sure.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 17:58, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* nb edit conflict
* How is UK Muslim not accurate, it bears on membership of a social community as much as individual faith? How does it bear on Britishness? Ian Paisley was a NI Protestant, not a NI citizen of the protestant denomination, which frankly sounds euphemistic. Pincrete (talk) 18:08, 28 May 2017 (UTC) .... ps practically all the UK mainstream media inc BBC and Gdn. refer to him as a 'Briton' and/or 'British Muslim'. Briton means someone borne in UK. Who gives a toss about what Nuttall or BDL or Farage say? Pincrete (talk) 18:17, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* Ian Paisley could be very tiresome, but he didn't commit violent acts. Those who did this in Northern Ireland had a range of political motives as well as religious beliefs. This is also true of Islamist extremists. Check out the rant speech given by Michael Adebolajo after the Murder of Lee Rigby. He didn't say "I did this because I was a Muslim", but launched into a predictable speech about why his actions were justified because of the Western bombing of the Middle East. This is as much a political motive as a religious one, and Abedi was probably thinking along similar lines when he did it.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 18:21, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* Well has a problem with "British Muslim" from a liberal perspective of placing equivelance between Britishness and Muslimness. UKIP and others would probably have a problem with the stmt he was British. Saying "British citizen of the Muslim faith" avoids the POV questions, from both sides, and is technically accurate and clear... That some have felt a need to defend, in this thread, the Britishness of the attacker clearly shows this a POV issue.Icewhiz (talk) 18:27, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* Please don't assume that I am writing from "a liberal perspective". The Magna Carta says " quod Anglicana ecclesia libera sit" which is taken as meaning that the Church and State are separate entities, something which is as relevant today as it ever was. Abedi had freedom of religious choice and abused it. Unfortunately, he had the same nationality as me.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 18:35, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* Well - clearly the Act of Settlement 1701 was in force after the Magna Carta, and the King/Queen are still required to be Protestant (though since 2013 - Succession to the Crown Act 2013 they may marry Catholics). The king/queen are also still Supreme Governor of the Church of England - and all this came into force quite a bit after Magna Carta - so no, church and state are not separated in England (though they are on the other side of the pond)..... Back to the point, earlier in this thread you stated "Britain is a multicultural society" - which is clearly a political POV question (is it so today? should it be so?). You've also been arguing this point over and over again (and reverting British Muslim a few times I believe?) - which also exhibits why this is a POV issue.... I'm not British. I'm not emotionally/politically invested in the question of who is presumed British. But it does seem to that the UKIP camp, and perhaps a few others, wouldn't see Abedi as quite so British. I would wager most people, if they were to rate his "Britishness" on a scale of 1 to 10 wouldn't give him a 10. or a 9. The simple solution is to state "British citizen of the Muslim faith" - that way it is clear to what British refers too (and doesn't go into the question at all of "Britishness"), and also doesn't equate being British with Muslim (or conflate nationality and religion) - both are stated clearly as to what they refer to - and skirts the whole POV issue all together (and avoids POV-pushing that Britain is and should be multicultural immigration absorbing state).Icewhiz (talk) 19:11, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* I would rate Abedi at 0/10 for British nationality skills for what he did in Manchester, but unfortunately he was British. This is why the far right questions the "Britishness" of Muslims, but my position is the same as Forrest Gump's: "Stupid is as stupid does".-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 19:31, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* "Islamist terrorist" is what he was. Doesn't matter what shades of lipstick the pig wears. It's rather obtuse to ignore this while fighting over Isamic or British. Both Muslims and Britons would prefer he be associated with radical Islamists than either Islamic or British culture. It is demeaning to ignore that the Imam denounced him and his cause. The sooner we get to "Islamist terrorist" the less insulting and more accurate our article will be. He was not a homegrown killer educated in a Manchester mosque, he was an Islamist terrorist radicalized in Libya and Syria. --DHeyward (talk) 22:38, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
* The RfC agreed we would list him as Muslim, move on. The Islamic religion does not need you to be their savior by choosing to violate consensus and continually argue the same point. This is getting old fast. The RfC served its purpose, but there are higher powers to appeal to if people want to look for loopholes and violate common sense agreements. Just put an end to this. It's such a minor difference that in a few months no one will think anything of it. British Muslim is not 'clumsy' it is what the Islam in the UK article calls British Muslims. El cid, el campeador (talk) 17:45, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
* He was a Muslim and that was his motive. Feel free to include his Britishness. That wasn't his motive, but you can include it, if you want to.--Rævhuld (talk) 17:00, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
Why still no motive in infobox?
It is clear that Abedi acted according to Islamist beliefs. Many articles show this and can be seen just by googling. It's not like he blew himself up because he hates Ariana Grande songs. From being "very religious", to having ISIS connections such with ISIS recruiter in Britain Abdalraouf Abdallah, to being in Syria, the list goes on.
* The authorities will declare a motive when they are satisfied. I think they know a little more of the matter than you. WWGB (talk) 10:52, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
* At this stage, the motive is always what the media has speculated, or what armchair experts have decided that it is. Neither is suitable for the infobox.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦ (talk to me) 12:32, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
It is rare that you will see "Islamic extremism" in an info box, no matter how clear it may be. I guess it's better safe than sorry, though.

given that the London attack's motive has already been put in infobox, and the PM has confirmed the single ideological thread of these attacks, why still no motive here?Walsak (talk) 20:06, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

For years, the cannabis industry has been all about high THC products—packing as many milligrams as possible into edibles and refining extraction techniques to yield the highest THC percentage.
If you have a lower tolerance or you just aren’t looking to get “messed up”, this trend may have deterred you from using cannabis regularly. Thankfully, times are changing with more cannabis brands and consumers beginning to understand and see the value of microdosing.
What is “microdosing”?
Like its name implies, microdosing is when you use small amounts of cannabis with the goal of garnering the medical benefits of THC without experiencing the psychoactive effects that accompany higher levels of THC consumption.
Most people have heard of microdosing in relation to the use of hallucinogens like LSD and mushrooms, but in recent years this premise has been adopted by the cannabis industry with great success.
Whether you eat edibles, vaporize, take tinctures or smoke you can apply the concept of microdosing by simply taking a smaller amount than you typically would. With edibles and tinctures, a microdose of THC is typically considered anywhere from 1mg-10mg depending on the tolerance of the individual.
If you’re smoking or vaping, a microdose may be taking as few as one or two hits. Everyone’s body is different, so it can be helpful to try a few different microdoses of a product and journal about how each dose makes you feel.
This will enable you to more objectively determine how few milligrams of THC you need to ingest to get relief without feeling impaired.
What are the benefits of microdosing?
As we mentioned above, one of the greatest benefits of microdosing is the lack of impairment you should (ideally) experience when doing it.
Patients that are seeking daytime relief from depression, anxiety, pain or lack of focus can greatly benefit from microdosing as it allows them to still experience the positive effects of THC without falling asleep at work or being unable to function regularly.
Many patients get in the habit of avoiding THC during the day, not because it doesn’t have medicinal benefits but purely because of the psychoactivity that accompanies it.
In my opinion, this has contributed to the misconception that “CBD is medicinal & THC is recreational”—so many patients find relief from THC, but the psychoactive effects deter them from using THC during times when they need to be functional.
With microdosing, THC need no longer be synonymous with nonfunctional. Interestingly enough, a 2012 study conducted on patients with advanced cancer who were not responding to opioid painkillers indicated that low doses of THC and CBD may actually be more effective at relieving pain than high doses.
This means that when it comes to using THC for pain relief (day or night), microdosing may actually provide greater relief than those high dose edibles you’ve been using.
If you struggle with anxiety or depression, microdosing THC can help you avoid the increased anxiety and lethargy that can occur when you take too much THC.
For too long THC has been viewed as a “purely recreational” cannabinoid, but hopefully as more individuals begin to try microdosing and experience the medicinal benefits of THC in smaller amounts this perception will change.
Are there any cannabis products designed with microdosing in mind?
Absolutely! Now that microdosing is becoming more popular, more cannabis brands are creating products with lower milligrams.
Kiva Confections Petra Mints are a perfect example—even though Kiva once made chocolate bars packed with 180mg of THC, their Petra Mints contain a mere 2.5mg of THC per mint.
Not only is 2.5mg of THC a great place to begin, the fact that all you have to do is take one mint & not break anything apart really makes microdosing accessible & easy for consumers with any level of experience.
For those who are looking for even less milligrams, Vive Tabs offer products as low as 1mg of THC per tab! If your tolerance is a little higher, try some Beboe Pastilles which contain 5mg of THC and 3mg of CBD per piece—the added CBD takes some of the edge off the THC as well and contributes to their functional feel.
Not really into edibles? No problem! You can microdose with ease with the dosist dose pen! Their dose pen technology delivers a consistent dose every time by incorporating three key features: optimized temperature control, airflow control & time control.
You’ll know when you’ve taken “one dose” when the dose pen buzzes in your hand—each formula contains slightly different amounts of THC, CBD and various terpenes, but you can look on the box to see the specific combination. (On average, each dose is around 2.25mg of cannabinoids—perfect for a microdose!)
So far, Dosist is really the only vaporizer brand that enables you to determine how many milligrams of THC you’re getting with each hit, but hopefully we’ll start seeing more companies keeping this in mind in the future.
These are just some of the products currently on the market that cater to low-dose THC users, but your local licensed dispensary is likely to have a great selection for you to choose from!

HMAS Melbourne (R21)
I've just finished a massive expansion of this article. I want to start the ball rolling towards Featured Article status. So tell me people, what's screaming for a fixing? -- saberwyn 06:12, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
UPDATES by saberwyn:
* Tweaks of grammar and phrasing have been made per the points below: I hope I'm getting the right stuff fixed. Any assistance from other editors would be aprreciated, because I wrote almost all of the text that is present and may have a blindspot covering some of the more glaring errors. The section on the Evans collision is being worked through in my userspace (User:Saberwyn/HMAS Melbourne (R21)/Evans collision), and Maralia will perform a progress review of this in the near future. Are there any other parts of the article that need looking at?? -- saberwyn 10:05, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
* An automated peer review has been run. See below
* An updated collision section has been inserted into the article, because its better than what was there, but it still needs a lot of work. Are there any other parts of the article that need working on, or should this peer review be wrapped up a new one opened when the collision section is comepletely fixed? -- saberwyn 07:07, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
* Maralia and I have sorted out our concerns regarding the Evans collision section, by trimming down the material on the investigation to a single paragraph, and leaving the detailed accusations of bias for the subarticle. Aside from the comment on the need for a prose tense copyedit (which will be a continual work in progress), I believe I have answered all of TomStar's concerns to the best of my ability. Unless there are any other points than need fixing, I intend to archive this peer review at the end of the week and begin an A-class review for the article. -- saberwyn 06:46, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
TomStar81
I didn't take the time to do a thurough read threw (that will come later today), but two things got my attention right quick:
* Decide on a tense. I spotted two instances of past-to-present tense in the same section, it needs to be all present or all past
* Attempting to fix any parts I find. Can you give an example of one of the more glaring occurances of the problem so I know I'm working on the right thing? -- saberwyn 10:28, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
* Do not start a sentence with a number. Case in point:"82 of Voyager's crew were killed, and two Royal Commissions were held to investigate the events."
* Do you mean, do not start with a numeral (which will be easy to fix), or do not start with a number (at the mo I can see no other way to restructure that sentance). -- saberwyn 10:28, 28 January 2008 (UTC) DONE
Sorry for my extremely long delay in getting back to you, school work has proven more difficult now that I am an official upper classman, and keeping pace with demand has required some absence from here on my part. First off let me say that you have done an outstanding job with this article, it reads well and it is well sourced. You are to be commended for your efforts to bring the article this far, but I have a few additional suggestions/clarifications for you below:
* You have a tendancy to switch tense in the article, which is bad; an article should be written all in the present tense or all in the past tense. In this case in particular I would recommend siding with the past tense becuase the ship herself no longer exists. A case in point: First paragraph, second sentence: "Launched in 1945 and operating until 1982, she was the third and final conventional aircraft carrier[I] to serve in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN)."
* I will be honest, I don't know the first thing about what tenses are and how to properly use them. I just write the way I've learned/taught myself to. To use your example, "Launched in 1945 and operating until 1982" just feels right to me compared to "Launched in 1945 and operated until 1982". Given my lack of knowledge, I think the best I can do is hand the article over to the League of Copyeditors or somebody else, and hope they can make sense of and fix my mess. In progress/requires further comment
* Fair enough, the Leauge of Copyediters would probably be better suited to deal with that issue. As one who can't spell I can relate to writing the way one learns/teaches oneself to. I'll leave it to you to find a good copyediter.
* The lead sentence in the third paragraph reads "During her career, Melbourne never fired a shot in anger, only having peripheral, non-combat roles in the Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation and the Vietnam War.", but I think it might flow better if it read "Melbourne never fired a shot in anger during her career, having only peripheral, non-combat roles in the Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation and the Vietnam War."
* Done
* We have articles for ship naming and launching and other related ship cermonies that you may want to link to from this article for the sake of allowing unfamilar readers a chance to discover the answers to their question without having to ask someone for the answer. If you do decide to link to the articles I would recommend linking from the Construction and acquisition section.
* Could you slap that link in where you feel it is most appropriate? Requires further comment
* Will do. I see about getting to it tomarrow.
* As noted below, make sure to use non-breaking spaces with regards to numerical values.
* I've used non-breaking spaces in every spot I can find that needs one. Done
* We wouldn't happen to articles for the radar sets on site, would we? If we did it would be a good idea to link to them.
* I've anchor-linked to List of World War II British naval radar for the 277Q and 293Q radars in the Weapons and Systems section, but not the infobox as yet. None of the other radars have articles, or articles I can find. Requires further comment
* To be fair, I have been trying to locate enough information to create a radar page for the Iowas, and so far have found little if anything of substantive value. The explination I got from a former USN Fire Control Technition is that alot of the technical stuff from back in the day remains classified becuase the same basic principles apply to modern radar.
* Based on what I have seen in the article your information and the sorcing are good enough to lay the groundwork for a rebuilding of the class page. It maight be a good idea to try that so you can break out some of the information from the Construction and acquisition, Design, and Armament section and there subsections to help reduce the length of the Melborne page; at present your Melborne page weighs in at 85 kbs, which is almost the length of my Iowa class battleship page in its current form (presently at 87 kbs). Long pages are harder for our dialup user to get to, so I strongly recommend going with this option.
* I could farm some of the material out to Majestic class aircraft carrier, Colossus class aircraft carrier, and Aircraft carriers of the Royal Australian Navy. However, the problem I see is that (to my eye), most, if not all, of the material present falls into one of two categories
* The material is specific to Melbourne. This is mainly for the technical material, as although the six ships of the Majestic class were identical in design during the early phases in construction, the fact that construction was suspended completely after the war, then restarted at different times and completed with different end-goals and for different navies mean that (in my opinion), the Majestic class consists of five unique ships and one pile of scrap metal (Leviathan was never completed). Just by looking throught the Wikipedia articles here, I cannot see a consistent post-launching configuration for any of the ships for any of the normally common components - radar sets, weapons outfits, etc. Only half the class had angled flight decks. There appears to be a lot more variation between the configuration of the Majestics than the Iowas, and without going into a detailed study of each of the other five carriers, I wouldn't know what are the common elements to list in the class article.
* I believe the material is important to understand the history of Melbourne. The exaple that comes to my mind is the acquisition of the two Australian carriers. I've tried to trim down some of the material, but this is a key component of the ship's history, and should be dealt with as completely as possible here.
* On the matter of being oversized, I will try to trim the article down, but I don't know how much smaller I can get it without ommitting any more information. I've trimmed one or two kb off the article by tightening up the wording and removing some of the more excessive details (i.e the latter section of the article contained a lot of lists of accompanying ships while the earlier sections had none, and a lot of these lists have been removed). If a blanket revert is required or desired, this is the version of the article prior to the cutting down. Requires further comment
* Fair enough. Very long articles are permitted provided there be a good reason to keep them instead of carving them up, and it sounds like you have a good reason to keep yours big. On the issue of trimming: all articles could do with a little trimming (even FAs), but don't trim so much that you create a train wreck. If there is a good reason for having info in the article then so be it.
* Are any of the exercise names metioned in the history part annual? If so we may have an article on them, and if not could you try and find out what the exercise was for?
* By my understanding, most of the were multi-naval training exercises. I will try to find names and wikilinks for as many as possible. In progress None of the exercise names currently in the article or in Gillett's HMAS Melbourne - 25 Years have an accompanying article, and there are no details as to what the specific activities of these training exercises were. Requires further comment
* Thats ok. I was just curious, so I won't hold this one against you. I know sometimes exercises have a specific thrust, like the one we have at Fort Bliss by annually, and was curious if any of those were perhaps similar in nature.
* Consider adding a commons link if any additional images of the carrier can be found there.
* Link to a commons category of images is located in the Footnotes section. If you feel it would be better elsewhere, feel free. Done
Otherwise, as noted a bove, it looks good. Well done! TomStar81 (Talk) 04:47, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Maralia
I've given it a cursory copyedit, tweaked the reflist to columns, removed a redundant category, alphabetized the books list, and moved the last image up to avoid large whitespace. Overall, this is well written and thorough. A few issues:
* It needs a more comprehensive copyedit. Particular issues include semicolons vs colons, slight overuse of passive verbs, and overcapitalization of officialese like 'government' and 'squadron'.
* Copyedit is a work in progress, due to my proximity to the text as it was written all assistance to get what I miss is appreciated. -- saberwyn 10:28, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
* Is the construction "HMA Ships x and y" actually used by/for/about RAN ships? The capitalization of 'Ships' in it makes sense, but it looks wrong.
* I have seen the form used several times before (see this search for "HMA Ships" at the RAN's official website ). -- saberwyn 10:28, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
* Noted. You learn something every day :) Maralia (talk) 16:55, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
* I'm really not satisfied with the Evans collision section. The primary source is a book written by the spouse of the accused. Criticism of the USN's participation in the joint board may be wholly warranted here, but the sources and presentation are questionable. If criticism is rampant, plenty of non-COI sources (and US rebuttals) should be available; if not, then this section suffers from undue weight.
* I agree. I knew that this was going to be the weakest section going in to this. The text in question is used as a resource by other Australian naval historians (Tom Frame in Pacific Partners and David Stevens in The Royal Australian Navy) I will attempt to reacquire these books from the library and see how many sources I can change. I will admit that I have not looked too hard for other sources (this was one of the first sections finished, and I was too concerned with filling out the rest of the ships history to ensure that this and the other collision section did not unbalance the article), and the ones I did find focused only on the events of the collision and how the Americans were punished, the latter being more appropriate to the Melbourne-Evans collision article. I'll try to find some time to put it on the slab and tinker with it, but I cannot promise much at this moment in time. -- saberwyn 10:28, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
* It's not surprising that 'Australian naval historians' use her book ;) I haven't been able to come up with any US-perspective books about the collision. I did, however, find vast quantities of evidence and documentation from the joint board inquiry, at . Of particular interest are the final two pages ("Responsibility for Collision") of, which places the majority of blame on USN personnel. Indeed, 3 USN staff were court-martialed, with at least 2 found guilty of dereliction of duty, while Stevenson was the only RAN staff court-martialed, and he was "acquitted with honor". Also note which gives some USN commentary on the proceedings, including "King [...] is to be complimented for the outstanding investigation conducted under his direction. It is thorough and complete in all respects." Maralia (talk) 16:55, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
* From the looks of things, the second weblink is an exerpt from the Board's findings, while the third and fourth weblinks are identical reports sent up the chain of command. The first weblink does not want to work for me. First up, I dislike using primary sources unpublished sources, wouldn't have a clue how to cite them properly if used, and trying to make sense of them smacks a little of original research to me.
* In other news, I've started a rewrite of the section in my userspace I've already substituted in references for Frame's Pacific Partners, Bastock's Australia's Ships of War and Gillett's HMAS Melbourne - 25 Years. Unsubstituted material is underlined, and I'll be working to clear this away as I get hold of more texts. -- saberwyn 10:13, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
* As an update on the whole Evans issue, the main problem is that there are only two published sources I have been able to identify that deal specifically with the subject of the collision and the Board of Inquiry: the book by Jo Stevenson (or its previous version) and an article by Anthony Vincent in Quadrant magazine (which I have been unable to acquire a copy of as yet). Both would be considered conflict-of-interest sources: the former is written by the wife of Melbourne's captain at the time, and the latter by the RAN lawyer kicked out of the Inquiry by Admiral King. Tom Frame has a chapter on the incident which is more or less reproduced across three of his books, and is manipulated or shoehorned in to meet the point of the book (general history of the RAN, the Voyager collision, or RAN-USN relations). All other Australian sources are short paragraphs or sections in general histories, or are reproduced or sourced from one or a combination of these three main writings. The few American-authored sources I can find are short journal articles or book paragraphs that deal almost exclusively with the collision. Yes, the BOI happened, but there is no detail as to the events of the BOI... it just happened. -- saberwyn 05:39, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for a good read. The Evans section is the only reason I didn't immediately bump the article to B class, and A class is only that plus a copyedit away, in my opinion. Maralia (talk) 19:58, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

* Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space - between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 000 yards, use 000 yards, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 000&nbsp;yards.[?]
* Done - the only remaining occurances are in the wikilink Bofors 40 mm gun (which would break the wikilink) and in the Evans collision section (and has been fixed in the rewrite)
* Per WP:WIAFA, this article's table of contents (ToC) may be too long – consider shrinking it down by merging short sections or using a proper system of daughter pages as per Summary style.[?]
* Not done - At the moment, the only way I can see to shorten the TOC is to have events from 1969 to 1982 lumped into one awfully massive section. I am not willing to do that.
* This article may need to undergo summary style, where a series of appropriate subpages are used. For example, if the article is United States, then an appropriate subpage would be History of the United States, such that a summary of the subpage exists on the mother article, while the subpage goes into more detail.[?]
* Kinda done - Summary-style subarticles (actually just cuts and pastes of the appropriate section standing by and ready for detailed expansion) have been created for the Melbourne-Voyager collision and Melbourne-Evans collision. I do not believe any other section would be appropriate for a subarticle at this time.
* Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: armour (B) (American: armor), harbour (B) (American: harbor), metre (B) (American: meter), defense (A) (British: defence), defence (B) (American: defense), organise (B) (American: organize), criticise (B) (American: criticize), isation (B) (American: ization), signalling (B) (American: signaling), travelled (B) (American: traveled), kerb (B) (American: curb), program (A) (British: programme).
* Done - Pearl Harbor always gets me in these articles. Australian/British is Harbour, but the proper name for the Hawaii base drops the u per American spelling and triggers this comment. Apart from this, the spelling is 100% Australian English
* Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]

* I'm hardly an expert at what is required to upgrade an article but from current appearance, I'm not sure why this article wasn't given B class; it should be there now, imo. If Ship's cat is at B then certainly this one should be. Anyway, I think you have a good shot at FA as it stands. --Brad (talk) 23:10, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
* It was not given B because the majortiy of the section on the Evans collision was written by Melbourne's captain's wife, and is therefore a conflict of interest. Rewriting of this section is in progress in my userspace, and after the completed rewrite is put into the article, it will likely be promoted to B class. | WIKI |

Yüksekova
Yüksekova (Gever; ) is a municipality (belde) in the Yüksekova District of Hakkâri Province in Turkey and is the largest city in the province. The city is populated by Kurds of different tribal backgrounds including non-tribal. The city also has a large ethnic Turkish population for the region and historically had a large Assyrian Christian population although, the Assyrian share of the population used to be much larger than it is today due to the Ottoman Empire's genocide of Assyrian Christians. Yüksekova had a population of 84,800 in 2023.
Remziye Yaşar (Peoples' Democratic Party) was elected mayor in 2019. She was arrested in October 2019 over terrorism-related charges and replaced by a trustee appointed by the central government.
Name
Yüksekova was historically known as Dize meaning fortress in Kurdish.

Ark. police photograph license plates, store data
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) Little Rock may not be a likely terrorism target or a gang crime hotspot, but the Arkansas capital has decided to follow the example of high-security cities by expanding electronic surveillance of its streets. A police car with a device that photographs license plates moves through the city and scans the traffic on the streets, relaying the data it collects to a computer for sifting. Police say the surveillance helps identify stolen cars and drivers with outstanding arrest warrants. It also allows authorities to monitor where average citizens might be at any particular time. That bothers some residents, as well as groups that oppose public intrusions into individual privacy. The groups are becoming more alarmed about license plate tracking as a growing number of police departments acquire the technology. Though authorities in Washington, D.C., London and Chicago conduct extensive electronic surveillance of public areas to detect security threats or deter gang crime, Today, increasingly, even towns without stoplights have license plate readers, said Catherine Crump, a New York-based staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union. In Little Rock, even some city officials wonder about keeping data on drivers' movements. It bothered me particularly if someone wasn't guilty of a crime or didn't have any active warrants or hadn't committed a crime, city director Ken Richardson said. However, Little Rock Police Chief Stuart Thomas said the law enforcement benefits outweigh any concerns about possible abuse of the information, which, as a public record, is legally available for anyone to see. He said the department may get more of the devices. Should that potential of misuse therefore eliminate the capacity of law enforcement to collect data which has a legitimate purpose for the safety of our officers or the appropriateness of enforcement actions? I don't think so, he said. Little Rock police bought the tracker last year for about $14,000, as interest in the technology began spreading in law enforcement circles. The purchase didn't require city council approval and didn't attract much attention in town. There was no public notice or anything, police spokeswoman Sgt. Cassandra Davis said. Richardson said he didn't hear about the device until after it had been collecting data for months. He said he said he hasn't heard many complaints. It's hard for you to have a problem with something if you don't know it's going on, he said. Many Little Rock residents apparently still haven't heard about the surveillance. Angel Weston, 45, said she's glad to hear that police are looking for stolen cars and people with warrants but wondered about keeping logs of citizens' movements. I don't feel like they should keep the data for six or 12 months, Weston said. Lawmakers in several states, including Minnesota and Utah, have suggested setting a time limit for their departments, but Little Rock has no policy yet. The department now has a growing archive of license plate photos, along with time stamps and the locations, showing where motorists were at certain times. Privacy advocates worry about the potential uses for such outside law enforcement, from snooping by stalkers and private investigators to businesses that sell personal data. Given how few rules are currently on the books to protect our privacy, it's plausible that private investigators and data-mining companies could acquire this location data, Crump said. So far, the organization has requested more information from government agencies, but hasn't filed any lawsuits, Crump said. Little Rock's license plate reader is mounted in Officer Grant Humphries' patrol car. He said it's led to dozens of arrests and the recovery of a number of stolen vehicles and vehicles and license plates, although the exact number isn't known. As Humphries drives around town, a laptop processes the license plate numbers being photographed and emits a sound and flashes red when it finds a match. On a recent drive, Humphries fell in behind an SUV and pulled it over after the laptop went off. Moments later, he and another officer arrested passenger Montague Martin, who was wanted on outstanding warrants. As he sat handcuffed in the back of the patrol car, Martin said he thought the license plate reader was a good idea. I'm not mad at what they're doing, Martin said before Humphries drove him to jail. They're doing their job. I just didn't pay my ticket on time. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Italy Needs Stimulus Package to Tame Debt, Padoan Tells Sole
Italy needs to adopt a growth
stimulus package as fiscal measures aren’t enough to tame its
debt, Pier Carlo Padoan, chief economist of the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development, told daily Il Sole 24 Ore . Italy has to address “the causes of its high public debt,
it can’t live forever with a debt of that dimension,” Padoan
said in the interview with Sole. On the purchase by the European Central Bank of bonds of
countries including Italy, Padoan said that it’s a “temporary”
measure that has to be followed by a long-term strategy, Sole
reported. To contact the reporters on this story:

Ruby Question
Parsing an HTML table using Hpricot (Ruby)
I am trying to parse an HTML table using Hpricot but am stuck, not able to select a table element from the page which has a specified id.
Here is my ruby code:-
require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
require 'hpricot'
agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
page = agent.get('http://www.indiapost.gov.in/pin/pinsearch.aspx')
form = page.forms.find {|f| f.name == 'form1'}
form.fields.find {|f| f.name == 'ddl_state'}.options[1].select
page = agent.submit(form, form.buttons[2])
doc = Hpricot(page.body)
puts doc.to_html # Here the doc contains the full HTML page
puts doc.search("//table[@id='gvw_offices']").first # This is NIL
Can anyone help me to identify what's wrong with this.
Answer
Mechanize will use hpricot internally (it's mechanize's default parser). What's more, it'll pass the hpricot stuff on to the parser, so you don't have to do it yourself:
require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
#You don't really need this if you don't use hpricot directly
require 'hpricot'
agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
page = agent.get('http://www.indiapost.gov.in/pin/pinsearch.aspx')
form = page.forms.find {|f| f.name == 'form1'}
form.fields.find {|f| f.name == 'ddl_state'}.options[1].select
page = agent.submit(form, form.buttons[2])
puts page.parser.to_html # page.parser returns the hpricot parser
puts page.at("//table[@id='gvw_offices']") # This passes through to hpricot
Also note that page.search("foo").first is equivalent to page.at("foo"). | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

InterCity East Coast
InterCity East Coast is a railway franchise for passenger trains on the East Coast Main Line in the United Kingdom from London King's Cross to Hull, Leeds, Bradford, Harrogate, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and Aberdeen. It was formed during the privatisation of British Rail and transferred to the private sector in April 1996.
Initially operated by Great North Eastern Railway (GNER), it was later operated by National Express East Coast, East Coast and Virgin Trains East Coast. In June 2018 the franchise was terminated and the trains and stations taken back into public ownership; since then, services are provided by London North Eastern Railway (LNER), a company owned by the Department for Transport.
Great North Eastern Railway
In April 1996, Sea Containers, operating under the GNER brand, commenced a seven-year contract to operate the franchise.
In March 2000, the Shadow Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) shortlisted Sea Containers and Virgin Rail Group to bid for the next franchise. The franchise was to be for 20 years and included proposals for new trains and replacements of sections of track. In January 2002, the SRA scrapped the refranchising process and awarded a two-year extension to Sea Containers until April 2005.
In October 2004, the SRA issued an Invitation to Tender for the next franchise to the four shortlisted bidders, Danish State Railways/English Welsh & Scottish, FirstGroup, GNER and Virgin Rail Group. In March 2005, the franchise was awarded to GNER for seven years, with a three-year extension based on targets being met, starting on 1 May 2005. GNER committed to pay a £1.3 billion premium to the Department for Transport (DfT) over ten years.
However, due to the financial problems caused by it having overbid as well as financial difficulties encountered by the parent company, in December 2006 the government announced it was stripping the franchise from Sea Containers and would put it up for re-tender, with GNER running the franchise on fixed fee management contract in the interim.
National Express East Coast
In February 2007, the DfT announced Arriva, FirstGroup, National Express and Virgin Rail Group had been shortlisted to lodge bids for the franchise. In April 2007, it was announced that GNER had a 10% stake in the Virgin Rail Group bid. In August 2007 the franchise was awarded to National Express, and GNER's services transferred to National Express East Coast (NXEC) on 9 December 2007.
By 2009, NXEC was under increasing financial pressure due to rising fuel prices and the economic downturn. Instead of projected increases in revenue from the franchise, in the first half of 2009 NXEC ticket sales income decreased by 1%. In April 2009, National Express confirmed that it was still pursuing talks with the government over possible financial assistance with the franchise, either through a reduction in the premium due, or other assistance.
In July 2009, National Express announced it planned to default on the franchise, having failed to renegotiate the contractual terms of operation, and would not provide any further funding. This meant NXEC would run out of cash by the end of 2009. As a result, the DfT announced it would re-nationalise the franchise.
East Coast Main Line Company
The franchise was re-nationalised on 14 November 2009 with Directly Operated Railways' subsidiary East Coast taking over, with the intention being that operations would return to a private franchisee by December 2013. In March 2013, the Secretary of State for Transport announced that this would be put back to February 2015.
Virgin Trains East Coast
In January 2014, FirstGroup, Keolis/Eurostar International Limited (EIL) and Stagecoach/Virgin were announced as the shortlisted bidders for the new franchise. In November 2014, the franchise was awarded to Stagecoach/Virgin, who trading as Virgin Trains East Coast (VTEC) commenced operating the franchise on 1 March 2015.
In November 2017 Secretary of State for Transport Chris Grayling announced the early termination of the East Coast franchise in 2020, three years ahead of schedule, following losses on the route by the operator. Virgin Trains East Coast had been due to pay more than £2 billion in franchise premiums to the government over the last four years of its contract.
Secretary Grayling claimed the losses were due to VTEC simply overestimating future growth in passenger revenue in its bid calculations, meaning franchise payments due to the government exceeded the profits being returned by running the services, while others believe the delays in state owned Network Rail delivering expected infrastructure upgrades meant the company could not operate the increased number of services needed to generate this increased revenue.
Termination was brought forward in February 2018 to June 2018.
London North Eastern Railway
On 16 May 2018, Secretary of State for Transport Chris Grayling announced the franchise would be terminated on 24 June 2018 and renationalised. A partnership of Arup Group, Ernst & Young, and SNC-Lavalin Rail & Transit provided assistance to the government in their preparation to take control of the franchise from VTEC and it is currently operated by DOHL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Department of Transport.
Rolling stock
At inception the franchise inherited and operated a fleet of InterCity 125 and InterCity 225 trains. These were refurbished with new interiors in the mid-2000s, the former of which were retired in December 2019, the latter were due to be retired in 2020. All to be replaced by Class 800/801s. It was announced in February 2020 that LNER will retain a number of Class 91s and Mk 4s to enable it to meet December 2021 timetable requirements. | WIKI |

Linux Job Scheduling
How I learned to stop worrying and love the Cron.
Command Line
The at command runs either the commands passed on standard input (passed in through a pipe, or typed at the “at>” prompts as in the example above), or it runs the commands specified in the file named by the -f parameter.
The general form of the at command line is:
at [-V] [-q <queue>] [-f <file>] [-mld] <TIME>
where “queue” is a queue name. Queue names are letters, a-z or A-Z. See the section called “Queues” for more details.
“file” is the name of a file containing commands to run.
“TIME” is a time specification as discussed in detail above.
The remaining switches are -m (send mail to the user when the job is complete, even if no output was produced); -l (an alias for atq. See the atq section below); -d (an alias for atrm. See the atrm section below).
The atq Command
The atq command lists jobs queued by the current user (unless run as superuser, in which case pending jobs for all users are listed).
Here's a sample:
mars:20:~$ atq
5 2000-06-20 15:00 a
6 2000-07-04 15:00 a
10 2000-04-24 14:33 f
mars:21:~$
The first column is the job number, followed by the scheduled run time, followed by the queue. In this case, two jobs are in queue “a” and one in queue “f”. See the section on queues for more information.
You can use the -q switch to look at jobs only in a particular queue.
The atrm Command
The atrm command is used to delete jobs from the atq. For example, consider the queue in the atq example above. The following session illustrates the use of atrm:
mars:21:~$ atrm 6
mars:22:~$ atq
5 2000-06-20 15:00 a
10 2000-04-24 14:33 f
mars:23:~$
You may list any number of job numbers on the command line.
The batch command
The batch command is a variation of at that, rather than scheduling a job for a time in the future, submits a job now, but that job will not start until the system's load average falls below 0.8. What is load average? The simplest way to think of it is the number of processes that are waiting to run. Most of the time, programs are idle, waiting for hardware or for input, or waiting for the kernel to complete a request. When a program actually has something to do, it is in a runnable state. If the system is not busy, the kernel generally gives control to such a program right away. When some other program is in the middle of running, the program that has just become runnable must wait. The instantaneous system load is the number of runnable processes that are not running. The load average is an average of this instantaneous load over a short period of time. Thus, a system that is below 1.0 load average has some idle time. A system that is at and hovers near 1.0 is fully busy, and at theoretical maximum capacity. A system that is over 1.0 has no idle time, and processes are waiting for a chance to run. Note that this does not necessarily mean the system becomes perceptibly slower to users, but it does mean the maximum capacity of the system has been reached and programs are running slower than they might on a less busy system.
The batch command schedules a job for “right now”, but will delay the start of the job until there is idle time (load average less than 0.8) on the system. Note that this test is for starting the job. Once it is started, it will run to completion, no matter how busy the system becomes during the run.
Queues
Note that this section is quite Linux-specific. Other UNIX operating systems I have used have queues, but they are different from those documented here. Always consult local documentation. AIX doesn't work this way, for example.
Queues are a way of grouping jobs together in separate lists. They are named from a-z and A-Z. The at command by default puts jobs on queue “a”, whereas the batch puts jobs on queue “b” by default.
Queue names with “greater” values run at higher “niceness”. Nice values are a way that Linux (and other UNIX systems) set job priorities. The default nice level of a job is “0”, which means “normal”. Jobs can have nice values from -20 (highest possible priority) to +19 (lowest possible priority). Only the superuser can give jobs a negative nice value. We won't say anymore about nice here, as a discussion of the kernel scheduler is well beyond our scope. Just know that jobs in the “z” queue run at a lower priority (and thus slower and with less impact on other running jobs) than do jobs in the “a” queue.
Jobs that are running will be in the “=” queue, which is reserved for running jobs.
Queue names are case sensitive! Rembember, there are a-z queues and A-Z queues. The A-Z queues are special. If you use at to put a job on a queue with a capital letter, then the job is treated as if it were submitted to the batch command at the run time instead of the at command.
In other words, putting a job on an uppercase queue is like combining at and batch. When the job runs, it runs immediately if the load average is below 0.8, otherwise it waits until the load average falls below that point. In no case will the job start before its scheduled time.
Phew! All of that and we still haven't looked at the dæmon that takes care of all this! I hope you are beginning to see that “at”, while not a complete batch processing system, certainly provides a great deal of capability.

Ubuntu – Cannot right click with synaptics touchpad
12.04sonysynapticstouchpadvaio
I have a Sony VAIO E14. The touchpad detects all clicks as Left clicks. In Windows 7, pressing on the right side of the touchpad is recognised as a right click.
How can I enable right clicking?
greg@greg-SVE14A1C5E:~$ xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=11 [slave pointer (2)]

greg@greg-SVE14A1C5E:~$ grep "TouchPad: buttons:" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[ 23.112] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: buttons: left double triple
Best Answer
This works for me... Touch anywhere on the screen with two fingers and make a click. In other words place two fingers on the clickpad then press down. I hope this is relevent, since there are so many types of trackpad. If you don't have a click pad I don't know how to do it... I read somewhere that 12.10 was going to fix it, but I am a linux noob, came from Mac and the same "right click" just works, but when I bought this computer (Acer Aspire one 756) It had a "right click" area that doesn't work in Ubuntu. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
My Name Is Pauli Murray
My Name Is Pauli Murray is an 2021 American documentary film, directed by Betsy West and Julie Cohen, written by West, Cohen, Talleah Bridges McMahon and Cinque Northern. It follows the life of lawyer and activist Pauli Murray.
The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 31, 2021. A limited release followed on September 17, 2021, prior to digital streaming on Prime Video on October 1, 2021, by Amazon Studios.
Synopsis
The film follows the life of lawyer and activist Pauli Murray who was instrumental in arguing the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment outlawed discrimination based on sex. Several scholars of Murray's work are featured in the film including Brittney Cooper and Rosalind Rosenberg. Rosenberg's research for the book Jane Crow: The Life of Pauli Murray is also highlighted. The film includes significant coverage of Murray's papers housed at the Schlesinger library. Murray's influence on Ruth Bader Ginsburg is covered in detail throughout the film.
Depiction of Murray's gender identity
My Name Is Pauli Murray features a nuanced analysis of Murray's gender identity. The film makes extensive connections between Murray's gender identity and groundbreaking feminist legal arguments. Historian Rosalind Rosenberg explains in the film how a sense of "in-betweenness" contributed to the numerous innovative legal arguments presented by Murray with regards to race and gender.
Release
The film had its world premiere at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival on January 31, 2021. Shortly after, Amazon Studios acquired distribution rights to the film. It also screened at AFI Docs in June 2021. It was released in a limited release on September 17, 2021, prior to digital streaming on Amazon Prime Video on October 1, 2021.
Critical reception
Cohen has been quoted as noting Murray was an "unrecognized figure in so many areas" and an intent behind the creation of the film was to bring Murray's story to a wider audience. My Name Is Pauli Murray received positive reviews from film critics. It holds a 95% approval rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 20 reviews, with a weighted average of 7.80/10. The site's critics consensus reads: "My Name Is Pauli Murray educates and uplifts in equal measure while paying stirring tribute to a largely unsung -- yet hugely important -- individual."
Accolades
It won the prestigious Peabody Award in 2022. | WIKI |
San Francisco Artists and Writers Union
The San Francisco Artists and Writers Union was a group of San Francisco artists and writers, formed during the Great Depression.
History
The group first met in late 1933. The group was not formally organized as a union (it did not engage in collective bargaining, in particular) but did help coordinate the provision of workers for various mural and artistic projects throughout the city. In particular, it helped organize San Francisco artists to respond to, and take advantage of, opportunities provided by the Public Works of Art Project and Works Progress Administration. The group's most significant political action was protesting against political interference in art, particularly in reaction to the controversy around Diego Rivera's Rockefeller Center murals and the Coit Tower murals, both in 1934. In the Coit Mural protest, union members picketed for two weeks.
Members
The group was founded by Kenneth Rexroth (a poet) and Bernard Zakheim (a muralist). Other members included Frank Triest, Shirley Triest, and Victor Arnautoff. Total membership was about 350 members. | WIKI |
Cantor Says House Republicans Working on Payroll Tax Cut Plan
House Republican leaders are
“definitely working” on putting together a package of tax-cut
extensions that includes a payroll provision, according to U.S.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor . Cantor, a Virginia Republican, said in an interview today
that details of the package were still “under discussion” and
that Republican leaders would present options to their caucus
before the end of the week. Republican leaders should be able to persuade their members
to support the measure they craft, which will include spending
cuts, Cantor said. Laena Fallon, Cantor’s spokeswoman, said today that the
House wouldn’t vote before next week on a payroll tax-cut
extension. To contact the reporter on this story:

Suspected sockpuppets
This looks like the same user. They created the account at the end of last month, made some random edits, and wrote a couple of articles. Then they posted Vinay Sapru, where the possible master was active before it was deleted. The suspected sock then contested the deletion, saying, "," which I find strange since they seem to know about the issues with the previous article. When asked, they said, "," which seems suspicious. Additionally, I've noticed that their use of edit summaries is very similar to the master's. GSS  💬 18:04, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

The master created Naveen Pandita. moved it to draft space. The master moved it back. M S Hassan tagged it for deletion, and I declined the WP:A7. It was later retagged by a different editor, which I declined because the retagging is against policy. M S Hassan redirected it to some program the actor is in, and the master came to my Talk page to ask for my help.
I then noticed that the master and Simonkatichaus contested the A7 on the article Talk page with almost precisely the same language. I asked the master on my Talk page whether they were related to Simon, and they denied it.
Although that is the only page on which the two users intersect, the topics they edit (Indian entertainment-related articles, bios and products), the things they do (both created new articles), their edit summaries ("Added a" whatever), and their editing platform (visual editor and mobile) are the same.

Thank you, Joe, for putting this online. I never had such a good description before. But as you allowed it: "geez, why did IBM make this so tricky"? :-)
2 JoeWinchester comentou às Link permanente
You're right - we did make this unnecessarily tricky but it is something we're working to clean up as quite a number of CICS customers do use the MQ Explorer as well and ask for a better integration solution - it should be no harder than other tools that plug into CICS Explorer so once we've done that we'll have got this nut cracked. <div> </div> Quite a few large CICS customers (not large as in they are obese - they are customers who have lots of regions) who also use MQ have asked for other pieces such as make it easier to navigate straight from a region to the queue manager's without having to open the right views and do this yourself - and also the ability to manage and configure connections together so you don't have to re-enter user IDs and passwords and stuff. If there's anything else you can think of that'd would make CICS and MQ experience better then please let us know so hopefully we can get everything taken care of at the same time. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Operational Reactor Safeguard Examination
An Operational Reactor Safeguards Examination (ORSE) is an examination conducted by United States Navy personnel onboard U.S. Navy nuclear-powered ships. The purpose of an ORSE is to ensure that the Engineering (submarines) or Reactor (aircraft carriers) department of a nuclear-powered vessel is operating their reactor(s) in a safe manner. The exam also ensures the readiness of the ship's engineering or reactor department to safely respond to nuclear power plant casualties.
The ORSE board is made up of three Junior Board Members, usually prior Engineers, and a Senior Board Member (a prior Commanding Officer) Nuclear Propulsion Examining Board, or NPEB.
Typical Schedule
An ORSE is scheduled during an underway period. There are a few surprise ORSE's when the boat or ship is given only a few days of notice. The first task of the ORSE board is to review all of the ship's records from the date of the most recent ORSE. During the review of records, the engineering department takes a written exam. After the review, a battery of intense simulation drills will begin. On submarines, each of the 3 watch sections stands one drill watch, is casualty assistance team for another, and finally drill monitors for a third. After the drills, oral interviews test the department's level of knowledge. Additionally, there are monitored evolutions to evaluate the department's ability to perform selected maintenance items. A typical ORSE lasts for 3 days.
Purpose
The purpose of ORSE is to ensure that a ship's engineering or reactor department can respond to any casualty, and is properly following all procedures for operating and maintaining the propulsion plant.
Anecdotal Quotes
"It gets better after ORSE." - This is a cliche statement expressed by those in Reactor/Engineering department. The intent is to provide hope that the extra stress is temporary and that the quality of life will improve after ORSE. As ORSE is a reoccurring audit, the quality of life does not in fact change. Similar to a seafood restaurant's permanent advertisement for "Free Crabs Tomorrow!", tomorrow never arrives. | WIKI |

Cardiff Central to Nottingham Line
* – (View AfD) (View log)
This page has been subject to numerous reversions by anonymous users, to determine whether it deserves to be an article in its own right, or a redirect to CrossCountry. In an attempt to end this warring, I have decided to nominate it, so that a formal discussion can take place. If the result is delete, the redirect can then be re-applied. As this is to prevent warring, my own stance is strictly neutral. – Tivedshambo (talk) 18:46, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
* Since a consensus discussion has already taken place (on this and the related Cardiff Central to Newcastle Line), which has decided that these two entities do not actually exist, I move for a speedy close as redirect. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:02, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
* Delete. To repeat the discussion at WT:RAIL (now archived), a railway line article should be about a physical stretch of track. This is not the case here: instead, this article is about a train service which uses various lines to get between Cardiff and Nottingham. While a redirect to CrossCountry, the name of the company which operates the service, might be a reasonable compromise, it seems a little odd. So I suggest deleting this article. Any other "line" articles which are really about services should meet the same fate in due course, but that's a matter for WT:RAIL first, rather than AfD. --RFBailey (talk) 19:20, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
* I vote speedy merge - not just redirect, as the Cross Country route page does not have any info about this section of line. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:20, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
* Are you referring to the article about CrossCountry (the train operator) or Cross Country Route (about the Bristol-Birmingham-Derby line)? --RFBailey (talk) 19:25, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
* The service is mentioned near the top of CrossCountry. The physical tracks are: South Wales Main Line, Gloucester to Newport Line, Cross Country Route and Midland Main Line (from west to east). Those cover the infrastructural aspects of the journey. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:34, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
* Comment - as one of the protagonists in this dispute is currently blocked, I suggest that it would be only fair not to make any speedy decision, but to allow this user to make a comment when their block is lifted. – Tivedshambo (talk) 19:41, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
* As posted elsewhere, said "protagonist in this dispute" is a known problem user (Special:Contributions/<IP_ADDRESS> Special:Contributions/<IP_ADDRESS> Special:Contributions/<IP_ADDRESS> Special:Contributions/<IP_ADDRESS>, and associated talk pages), so I somewhat object to this being described as a bona fide edit war. I should note here that while the IP addresses are shared, it is clear that the problem contributions were all clearly by one person. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:31, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
* A redirect to CrossCountry sounds good to me. Capitalistroadster (talk) 19:57, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
* Comment: It now reads that it is a rail route, rather than a line. Therefore I see no reason for deletion but perhaps a rename to Cardiff Central to Nottingham route. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:02, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
* Comment from Creator: I don't see why it should be deleted becuase it's been changed to read a route/service not a line, which it is. Welshleprechaun (talk) 23:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
* Delete. As previously mentioned, the line does not exist; it is simply a route operated along several real lines, and as such there is little that can be said about it that would not be better placed in the operator’s article. David Arthur (talk) 02:01, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
* Note: User:Welshleprechaun has now moved the article to Cardiff Central to Nottingham Route. --RFBailey (talk) 04:01, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
* Comment: In fact, I think a page should be made for all CrossCountry routes rather than making the CrossCountry page too long. Welshleprechaun (talk) 12:02, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
* That's a bad idea for various reasons. First, the general Wikipedia practice is to split content from articles once they grow too large, not to pre-empt this. The CrossCountry article certainly hasn't grown too large yet. Second, where would you stop? Having pages for occasional services that run once a day, or (worse) once a week in summer? What about other operators--why just this one? This is a slippery slope which, quite frankly, I don't want to see us go down. --RFBailey (talk) 14:22, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
* Indeed, such a practice would split information away from where people are likely to look for it, and result in needless duplication — already, much of the disputed article’s content is a redundant summary of the geography and transport links of Wales and the Midlands. David Arthur (talk) 14:26, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
* Delete - services change more often than lines and if we went down this route, there would be too much unnecessary duplication. Merge it into CrossCountry. WelshBloke (talk) 10:14, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I have to create some vectors containing the values of a d-degree n-dimensional multi-index. A d-degree n-dimensional multi-index is a n-tuple such that .
Just to give an example, if I want a 2-degree 3-dimensional multi-index, I have to built the vectors:
I can to create them for the 2-dimensional case (basicly, I create a matrix and take the upper-right part), but when I move to higher dimensions I have no clue how to go on.

Start by downloading John D'Errico's excellent partitions function:
and then using it like this:
d = 2;
n = 3;
P = partitions(d,1:d,n);
N = size(P,1);
C = cell(1,N);
for k = 1:N
tmp = repelem(1:d,P(k,:));
tmp(end+1:n) = 0;
C{k} = unique(perms(tmp),'rows');
end
Z = vertcat(C{:})
For d=2 and n=3 this gives:
Z =
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 0
0 0 2
0 2 0
2 0 0
For d=3 and n=4 this gives:

Gender Differences in Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior and BMI in the Liberec Region: the IPAQ Study in 2002-2009
Article (PDF)
Authors
Sigmundová Dagmar, Sigmund Erik, Frömel Karel, Suchomel Ales
Abstract
The occurrence of overweight, obesity and physical activity (PA) belongs to major factors influencing health. However, information on the longitudinal development of PA in Europe has been, up until now, insufficient. The aim of the study was to describe the changes in PA, sedentary behavior and BMI in the inhabitants of the Liberec region during the surveybetween 2002 – 2009. The data were obtained in 2002–2004 using the short version of the IPAQ questionnaire, in 2005-2009 using the long version of the IPAQ . The sample of participants comprised 957 males and 1066 females aged 25-60 years. A significant decrease in sitting accounting for minutes on working days has been recorded both in men and women. A significant increase of PA both in men and women was reported, however the interpretation of the increase needs to be done cautiously due to the application of the short and long version of the IPAQ. Regarding PA intensity, men show more PA in total than women, which can be explained mainly by the differences in vigorous PA. Women show significantly lower values of BMI in all years in which surveys were conducted than men (p<0.001). Based on self-reported data, we have recorded an increase in the number of overweight and obese people. Time spent sitting on working days has had a tendency to decrease, yet a negative trend in the decrease in self-reported total PA has not been confirmed. Despite the fact that there has been an increase in self-reported PA, no decrease in BMI was registered.

Reid rekindles rhetorical assault on Koch brothers
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid on Monday revived his battle with the billionaire Koch brothers, blasting Charles and David Koch from the Senate floor for their influence over Republicans. The retiring senator opened his diatribe by defining the term oligarchy — “a government in which a small group exercises control for corrupt and selfish purposes,” he said, citing Webster’s dictionary. “By that definition, it appears that our government is moving ever closer to an oligarchy,” Reid (D-Nev.) said. “For the last eight years, Charles and David Koch and their inner circle of billionaires have wielded immense influence within our democracy." Reid continued, ripping into his Republican colleagues for having “done nothing to stop the Kochs’ crooked works. Campaign funding is a nasty word to Senate Republicans. The United States Senate has a history of spending up to the corrupt interests of the Kochs.” Reid also called out GOP lawmakers like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) and Jerry Moran (R-Kans.) over their Koch-aligned voting records. After Moran suggested, in a clear break with Republican leaders, earlier this year that Merrick Garland deserved consideration for his nomination to the Supreme Court, Reid recalled, “even the loyalty that he showed could not spare him and the Kochs’ wrath.” Facing the possibility of attack ads from the Koch-baked Judicial Crisis Network, Reid said, Moran reversed himself. “It’s clear who this Republican Senate is trying to help, and it’s clearly not working American families,” Reid added. “The Kochs and their dark money empire are flooding the airwaves with misleading and false advertisements. Ads from the Koch brothers are not always easy to identify,” he said. “The groups that sponsor them have their names that sound harmless enough. Turn on a TV, open your mailbox and you will see a quick disclaimer and tiny print that says who paid for it. They say things like sponsored by Concerned Veterans of America or sponsored by Freedom Partners or paid for by the Libre Initiative or paid for by the Americans For Prosperity.” But what they should say, according to Reid, is “paid for by the billionaires, the Koch brothers.” Before he closed with calls for campaign finance reform, the outgoing Democratic leader also fired a shot at the Republican candidate running for his seat, congressman Joe Heck. “He is their puppet,” Reid said, again and again. “Who is he going to side with on issues important to Nevada? The out-of-state billionaire barons who spent millions in buying his election or Nevadans? We already know the answer to that question.” | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

I too am looking for information about the long term effects of paregoric on the children who were given it. My infant uncle died of a paregoric overdose given him by his hired caregiver. So death was a very possible worst case scenario. Narcotic addiction and developmental damage would seem assured with regular abuse of this in infants.

Personal account moved from the Paregoric page
My memories of Paregoric are from the late fifties and earlier sixites when mothers would use this to ease the pain of teething babies. They would dab it on their fingers and rub it on the gums of the baby. The liquid was deep amber and smelled pleasantly of alcohol, camphor and oil of anise. It could be purchased from the druggist by adults. A bottle would last a long time. Some adults on the fringe would buy it for the intoxicating effects and consume the whole bottle in a sitting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kpjas (talk • contribs) 07:19, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Paregoric was sort of a running joke on the DEA when it was OTC because it is...well..opium. Anyways, the important part, As far as I know it is now unavailiable and most likely no longer manufactured. I work in a pharmacy (in the US), we have not been able to order it from any of our suppliers for a couple years. Can anyone confirm this?Somn — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:48, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Even though nearly all pharmacies have no more Paregoric in stock and cannot order it, it is even so possible to obtain it from a compounding pharmacy by prescription. The prescription cannot be refilled and a new one has to be written and given or mailed to the companding lab each time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charles brough (talk • contribs) 19:29, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
Dates
Yeah, I would change the dates listed in the article, and absolutely mention that, even in the 1950s and 1960s, it was used to ease the pain of teething. Acter. Acter (talk) 11:11, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
There Are Numerous Inaccuracies in This Article ...
And I'm not sure that I have time to correct them right now.
Some key points:
-- Paregoric has not been discontinued as a prescription drug in the United States. The article cited has been misconstrued. The FDA's meaning was simply that the Company to whom the letter was addressed had not filed the proper paperwork with the FDA. If you don't believe this, you can go to a site to check current prices for the drug. For example, go to floridadiscountdrugcard.com, and look up the price for Paregoric. You'll find it. The site does not list pricing for drugs that are no longer on the market. I've checked many times.
-- This article fails to address the drugs Donnagel-PG and Parepectolin. These were drugs that combined Paregoric with Kaolin and Pectin, among other substances. They were available without prescription in many states until the early 1990's! They were discontinued in an apparent campaign -- presumably by the FDA -- to reduce sales of OTC Exempt Narcotics. I believe that a law or rule was passed stating that the mixture of Kaolin and Pectin was ineffective for management of diarrhea. If you go to a store and buy a bottle of an anti-diarrheal drug such as Kaopectate, you will find that the Kaolin and Pactin has generally been replaced with atapulgite.
At about the same time, it seems that the drug Terpin Hydrate was removed from market. The vast majority of OTC sales of cough preparations were for Terpin Hydrate and Codeine Elixir. Sales of Exempt Narcotics containing codeine are still allowed in some states, like New Jersey (which should be removed from the list of states prohibiting sales of OTC Exempt Narcotics). One example is Robitussin AC.
-- The article refers to state laws which may limit or limited the number and quantity of Exempt Narcotic Sales. But it fails to mention the more basic federal restrictions which apply / applied to sales in ALL states. Federal laws prohibit sale of more than 4 ounces of codeine containing cough syrup per 48 hour period. No more that 6 ounces of Donnagel-PG could be sold OTC, and no more than 8 ounces of Parepection (which contained a lower amount of Paregoric per ounce) could legally be sold within a 48 hour period. Federal law requires purchasers to sign a log book when purchasing any Exempt Narcotic. Pharmacists are also supposed to ask for identification if the buyer is not known to him/her. However, during the era that Donnagel-PG and Parepectolin were available, ID was very rarely asked for. This is from first hand experience.
Even though codeine-containing preparations are still available in some states without prescriptions, the vast majority of pharmacies will sell them only to customers they know well -- or, even more frequently, won't sell them at all. Many go so far as to actually lie to you and state that they're prescription only items.
There is a good deal more, but I don't have time now, and should provide some sources.
Factstruthandtheinternet (talk) 15:17, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
Once again, I removed the reference that someone had placed here regarding the FDA's sending a letter to a pharma company manufacturing it, stating that it was a "new, unapproved" drug. This letter has been consistently misinterpreted. "New" and "Unapproved" in the cited letter referred to the fact that the specific pharmaceutical company that the letter was addressed to had not completed the appropriate paperwork with the FDA to legally manufacture the drug. There were many pharmaceutical companies that manufactured the drug in the past in compliance with FDA requirements. Also, while there may have been a shortage of paregoric for a period of time, the drug itself was never withdrawn from the U.S. market. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 08:42, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
Trivial, passing mentions in popular culture
I have removed the following list from the article because it is just a random collection of trivia. None of this information seems particularly relevant to the article, and is rather just a collection of passing mentions of Paregoric that don't contribute anything notable to the article. If someone feels otherwise and would like to summarize key aspects of list and write some coherent prose about it, that could make a useful contribution to the article. But with this low-content list of trivia being so long compared to the rest of the article, it just detracts from the quality of the article. -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:56, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Re: dextromethorpan
>>In the 21st century its two main uses have been largely supplanted by minimally psychoactive cough-suppressant drugs (such as dextromethorphan)<< Interesting to refer to dextromethorphan as "minimally psychoactive." Perhaps "minimally psychoactive at the prescribed dose" would be more accurate, as there are known abusers of this substance known for its own and quite potent psychoactive properties at elevated doses.

About the pronunciation of Gigli and the connection to Rain Man
I'm not sure of this but shouldn't the pronunciation of Gigli be more like "JHEE-lee", as in the way you pronounce the opening sound for the French name "Jacque"?
Also, is there no documentation on the connection of this movie and Rain Man? For one thing, the stories are so similar. On top of that is the fact that originally Brest was going to be the director of Rain Man and worked extensively on its script development. In fact, there's a story where he and Dustin Hoffman met and Hoffman said he was ready to start production and Brest abruptly bailed because he didn't like the way the story had evolved. (Barry Levinson had originally only intended to produce it but stepped in at the last minute as Director as they were trying to get the movie done before the impending writer's strike.) I find it hard to believe the stories are not connected this way - does no one know of any source that verifies it? __<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:31, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Serua Province
Serua is one of Fiji's fourteen provinces. Its 830 square kilometers occupy the southernmost areas of Viti Levu, being one of 8 provinces based on Fiji's largest island. It had a population of 15,461 at the 2007 census.
According to a report by David Wilkinson an interpreter and advisor to Sir Arthur Hamilton-Gordon, 1st Baron Stanmore, 1st, Governor of Fiji, the region was one of the least stable regions of Fiji before cession in 1874. It led to the secession of the western part of the province into the neighbouring province of Nadroga-Navosa in 1916.
Serua is part of the Burebasaga confederacy. The traditional head of the province is titled the Vunivalu of Korolevu and is based on the tiny island of Serua (to which the province is named after) just off the coast of the province.
The province is governed by a Provincial Council, chaired by Taito Nakalevu based in the nearest township of Navua.
Places of interest in the province include the Pacific Novitiate at Lomeri Pacific Harbour and Deuba beach.
Administrative Divisions
The province is divided into two Tikinas:

Friends University
Friends University is a private nondenominational Christian university in Wichita, Kansas, United States. It was founded in 1898. The main building was originally built in 1886 for Garfield University but was donated in 1898 to the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) by James Davis, a St. Louis business man. In the 1930s the leadership of the school was turned over to an independent board of trustees, with some representation of the Mid-America Yearly Meeting of Friends on the board. It operates today with "an amicable but independent relationship with the evangelical branch of the Society of Friends."
Garfield University
The building now known as the Davis Administration Building and formerly as University Hall was designed by architects Proudfoot & Bird and completed in September 1887 to house Garfield University. Garfield was an effort by the Christian Churches of Kansas led by W.B. Hendryx to build a Christian college in the Wichita area. Hendryx wanted to name the college after his good friend, U.S. President James Garfield. At the time, it occupied the largest single building used for educational purposes west of the Mississippi River. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Garfield University opened its doors for classes in 1887. The university had 500 students enrolled for the first year and 1,070 for the second year. After graduating its first and only senior class, Garfield University closed its doors in 1890 due to financial difficulties. The school was reorganized and opened again in March 1892 as Garfield Central Memorial University. It closed for good November 18, 1893.
As crop failures and deaths made it difficult for pledges to be paid, the university floundered financially. Edgar Harding of Boston eventually became the owner of the property and began putting out ads for someone to purchase it; James Davis of St. Louis, a Quaker, answered one of those ads. Davis proclaimed he would "buy a college and give it to the Quakers with his first million dollars". After three visits to the building that would eventually be named after him, he began looking into purchasing the land.
Friends University
On March 31, 1898, Davis had closed the purchase. Representatives were called in May of that year for a called meeting of the Kansas Yearly Meeting of Friends, because Davis wanted classes to begin that autumn and the meeting was not scheduled until October. The Friends unanimously decided to accept the offer and Edmund Stanley, a clerk of the Kansas Yearly Meeting, was recruited to serve as Friends' first President.
In October, at the scheduled meeting, Stanley reported that the school was opened on September 21, 1898, and that "In accordance with the purposes in organizing and maintaining a denominational institution for higher education, we are encouraging such movements as will cultivate and stimulate spiritual growth and development." He also acknowledged additional gifts from local citizens of Wichita (Davis included) in the form of works of art.
53 students enrolled initially, of whom only 12 were ready for college work. A college of liberal arts and a preparatory department offered classes in Literature, History, Mathematics, Astronomy, Bible, German, Elocution, and oratory. Classes were also available in Piano, Voice, and Music Harmony and Theory.
President Stanley shared the vision and future he saw for the university during the opening meeting: "The purpose of this school shall be to give to the world and to give our country a class of citizens that will be in every sense loyal citizens. Loyalty has in it more than we often think... Loyalty means that mental training and discipline which makes the child think, the development which makes him strong in mind and body, strong in his moral nature, a full man in that intelligence which should direct the efforts of all men for conscientious, honorable and successful private life and citizenship."
Academics
Friends grants a wide range of degrees through the College of Business, Arts, Sciences and Education (CBASE), the College of Adult and Professional Studies (CAPS), and a Graduate School (GRAD).
CBASE, Friends' undergraduate school, offers degrees in Business and Information Technology, Education, Fine Arts, Natural Science and Mathematics, Religion and Humanities, and Social and Behavioral Sciences. Friends offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts in ballet and a Bachelor of Science in Zoo Science, both of which are rarely offered by other institutions.
CAPS offers seven adult bachelor's degree programs and the Graduate School offers nine Master's level degrees. Classes taught in CAPS and GRAD generally meet one night a week or online.
Student life
The Friends Art Department has a track record in the Wichita area of producing professional contemporary artists as well as being the home of the Epsilon Rho chapter of the Kappa Pi International Honorary Art Fraternity. The main choir, the Singing Quakers, have traveled the globe to many locations including most of the United States, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Australia, and Austria.
Athletics
The Friends athletic teams are called the Falcons. The university is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), primarily competing in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) since the 1953–54 academic year; which they were a member on a previous stint from 1902–03 to December 1928 (of the 1928–29 school year).
Friends competes in 23 intercollegiate varsity sports. Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, powerlifting, soccer, tennis, track & field (indoor and outdoor) and wrestling; women's sports include basketball, cross country, cheerleading, golf, powerlifting, soccer, softball, tennis, track & field (indoor and outdoor), volleyball and wrestling.

Google Assistant: Tips for talking to Pixel, Google Home and Allo
Google's new digital assistant can keep up a conversation and remember personal details to make your every wish its new command. Here are five commands worth trying out.
Google
Now Playing: Watch this: Start chatting with Google Assistant
3:33
Google Assistant (which replaced Google Now) is like Siri, but a lot more helpful, carrying full-fledged conversations and taking notes about your likes and dislikes. It taps into Google's huge database of apps (like calendars, email and so on) as well as restaurant reviews, weather, travel, maps and a whole lot more.
The voice assistant is baked into Google Pixel, the Google Home (the Alexa competitor) and the Allo app (on iPhone and Android). Here are some tips to get you started.
1. Start with a "Good morning"
Google Assistant is deeply integrated with your Google account, including Google calendar. A simple "good morning" at the start of your day will give you all the information you need to start off on the right foot.
Google Assistant will give you a quick weather update, read your list of appointments or events for the day, alert you of any pending reminders and even go through the day's news by automatically playing relevant podcasts from a variety of news outlets you can customize.
And it's not just stuck in the present, you can ask to see gate information about your next flight or find out if you missed your last gym class.
2. Set your news preferences
You can ask Google Assistant for news updates with phrases like "Tell me the news." But to really take advantage of the feature, you need to set up your news preferences in the Assistant's settings.
With Assistant open, tap on the three-dot icon in the corner. Select Settings > News > Customize. Select from a wide-ranging list of news podcasts, including NRP, WSJ, Fox News and CBS.
When you ask Google Assistant for the news, it will begin playing your selected podcasts in the order listed under the News section. Right now, it may not be all that useful considering it's playing through your phone's speaker, but when the Google Home ($129.00 at Jet.com) launches you can use it to listen to your news without extra setup.
3. Tailor your daily updates
While in the Google Assistant settings page, tap on My Day. Here you can indicate what information you want Google Assistant to include when you say "Tell me about my day."
You can include your weather forecast, work commute, next meeting and any pending reminders. You can also opt to have the daily briefing end by playing news podcasts or by closing out the app.
4. Ask a follow-up question
When we asked the Assistant asked about the Cubs game, it answered with the correct time and date. It could also answer the follow-up question "When was the last time they made it to the World Series" accurately without us having to repeat the name of the team.
Instead of listing off web results, the Assistant read off the information from the Wikipedia entry out loud and kept it on screen. Ask a third related question and it will still know what you're talking about.
5. Let Google Assistant be your guide
Like previous digital assistants, this one is capable of locating you on a map. But unlike its predecessors, it's also aware of your surroundings.
If you happen to be near a certain pointy skyscraper in San Francisco and can't remember its name, just ask. Google Assistant can correctly identify the Transamerica Pyramid based on your location.
Ask for directions home from your location, and it will default to driving directions, but follow up with "walking" if you're traveling on foot and it knows exactly how to guide you.
6. Take a photo with your voice
Google Assistant isn't the first assistant to be able to launch the camera on a phone, but now it actually does the work for you so your finger never has to touch the shutter.
Say "take a photo" or "take a selfie" to launch the camera with an automatic three second countdown.
7. Ask for a joke
The best friendships always start with a joke. So, ask Google Assistant to tell you a joke. Granted, you're likely to hear some of the worst Dad jokes ever, but they're still good for a laugh. Just say "Tell me a joke." Laugh. Repeat.
8. Tell it about yourself
Start teaching Google Assistant what kind of food you like and don't like. Tell it your dog's or spouse's name (not necessarily in that order). Tell it where you live and work. Tell it your secrets, if you want.
The more it gets to know you, the smarter it gets, and the better it gets at fulfilling your every need. Google Assistant remembers everything you share with it, so invest the time in getting her up to speed on personal details you want it to know.
If you say "my favorite color is purple" for example, it will take note. And next time you ask to see pictures of flowers in your favorite color, it will actually know what you're talking about.
9. Yo Google! I'm bored.
What good would any sort of assistant be if it couldn't entertain you when you are bored? Try saying "OK Google, I'm bored" then tap on one of the different options it presents you with.
Selecting Games will give you the option to take quizzes, play Google Doodle games or pass the time with classic games like tic-tac-toe.
You can also ask for funny videos, random facts and memes if you're into that sort of thing.
10. Don't try this on Home
Google Assistant's powers are not equal across all devices and favors Pixel phones over all. In Allo it's limited to in-app commands and even within Google's own Home it has certain limitations.
Some of the things the Home can't tackle yet include:
• Creating lists other than a shopping list
• Making changes to your shopping list
• Adding entries to your calendar
• Integrating multiple calendars
• Giving you directions
• Sending directions to your phone
• Setting reminders
• Interacting with email

Addition of acetate improves stability of power generation using microbial fuel cells treating domestic wastewater

Abstract
Power generation using microbial fuel cells (MFCs) must provide stable, continuous conversion of organic matter in wastewaters into electricity. However, when relatively small diameter (0.8 cm) graphite fiber brush anodes were placed close to the cathodes in MFCs, power generation was unstable during treatment of low strength domestic wastewater. One reactor produced 149 mW/m2 before power generation failed, while the other reactor produced 257 mW/m2, with both reactors exhibiting severe power overshoot in polarization tests. Using separators or activated carbon cathodes did not result in stable operation as the reactors continued to exhibit power overshoot based on polarization tests. However, adding acetate (1 g/L) to the wastewater produced stable performance during fed batch and continuous flow operation, and there was no power overshoot in polarization tests. These results highlight the importance of wastewater strength and brush anode size for producing stable and continuous power in compact MFCs.

The fire spread quickly because the buildings were made of wood. The buildings were built very close together. It had also been a long, hot summer and the wooden buildings were very dry. The wind was strong.
Why did the Great Fire of London spread ks1?
Why did the fire spread so quickly? In 1666, the buildings in London were made of wood and straw and they were very close together, making it easy for the flames to spread. It had also been a dry summer, so the buildings were dry. Strong winds were blowing, which helped the flames to spread.
What added to the growth of the Great Fire of London?
Flammable materials like hay, pitch, tar and wood were everywhere – not to mention a great deal of gunpowder. Most of the buildings were made of timber with thatched roofs, and the streets were narrow, which sparked a domino effect as the fire spread.
What made the Great Fire of London worse?
When cinders, carried by the wind, set the roof alight, the wooden scaffolding around the cathedral increased the intensity of the blaze. Not only that, but Londoners’ hoped that the cathedral churchyard would be safe and inadvertently made the damage even worse.
How did the Great Fire of London stop ks1?
Instead, a plan was suggested to blow up houses in the path of the fire, so that there would be an area with no houses to act as fuel for the fire to keep growing. The Navy used gunpowder to destroy the buildings and by the next morning, the fire had been stopped.
How did the Great Fire of London start ks2?
The Great Fire of London happened between 2-5 September in 1666. The fire began in a bakery in Pudding Lane. Before the fire began, there had been a drought in London that lasted for 10 months, so the city was very dry. In 1666, lots of people had houses made from wood and straw which burned easily.
How was London improved after the great fire?
Design for rebuilding London after the Fire of London by Christopher Wren. Wren’s plan to rebuild, never adopted, included long, wide streets, a canal for the Fleet river, piazzas and squares. … The winding streets of the medieval city were restored in the rebuilt London.
How did the Great Fire of London change the city?
As a result of the Great Fire, 80% of the city was destroyed. As were over 13,200 houses, 87 churches, the Royal Exchange, Newgate Prison, Bridewell Palace and Europe’s third largest cathedral. The conflagration left up to 80,000 Londoners homeless, almost a fifth of the city’s population at the time.
How has the Great Fire of London reshaped the city?
The street layout mostly remained the same, and within 10 years the area ravaged by fire had been rebuilt, bringing new architecture to the old city quickly and on a large scale. In all, Wren oversaw the rebuilding of 52 churches, 36 company halls, and the memorial to the great fire, Monument.
Was the Great Fire of London an accident?
The rumors spread faster than the blaze that engulfed London over five days in September 1666: that the fire raging through the city’s dense heart was no accident – it was deliberate arson, an act of terror, the start of a battle.
How many died London fire?
It is estimated that it destroyed the homes of 70,000 of the City’s ca. 80,000 inhabitants. The death toll from the fire is unknown and is traditionally thought to have been small, as only six verified deaths were recorded.
Did the Great Fire of London wipe out the plague?
In 1666 the Great Fire of London destroyed much of the centre of London, but also helped to kill off some of the black rats and fleas that carried the plague bacillus. Bubonic Plague was known as the Black Death and had been known in England for centuries. It was a ghastly disease.
What happened on the 4th day of the Great Fire of London?
“The saddest sight of desolation”
By Wednesday morning the strong winds that had so helped the fire to spread across the City had begun to die down. But most of the city was already destroyed, and some areas were still suffering new fires. Here we present key details from the fourth day of the Great Fire of London. | FINEWEB-EDU |

Add Rows to DataFrame in Python
[
How to Add Rows to a DataFrame in Python
In Python, the Pandas library provides powerful tools for data manipulation and analysis, including the ability to work with tabular data using DataFrames. One common task when working with DataFrames is adding new rows to an existing DataFrame. In this tutorial, we will explore different methods to accomplish this task, step by step, with executable code samples.
Method 1: Using the append() function
Pandas DataFrame has a built-in function called append() that allows you to add one or more rows to an existing DataFrame. Here’s an example using this method:
import pandas as pd
# Create a DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame({'Name': ['John', 'Emma', 'Michael'],
'Age': [25, 30, 35],
'City': ['New York', 'London', 'Paris']})
# Create a new row as a dictionary
new_row = {'Name': 'Emily', 'Age': 28, 'City': 'Berlin'}
# Append the new row to the DataFrame
df = df.append(new_row, ignore_index=True)
# Display the modified DataFrame
df
In this example, we first create a DataFrame with three columns: ‘Name’, ‘Age’, and ‘City’. Then, we define a new row as a dictionary. Finally, we use the append() function to add the new row to the DataFrame. The ignore_index=True argument ensures that the index of the new row is automatically assigned.
Method 2: Using the loc[] accessor
Another method to add rows to a DataFrame is by using the loc[] accessor along with the index label of the new row. Here’s an example:
import pandas as pd
# Create a DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame({'Name': ['John', 'Emma', 'Michael'],
'Age': [25, 30, 35],
'City': ['New York', 'London', 'Paris']})
# Create a new row as a Series
new_row = pd.Series(['Emily', 28, 'Berlin'], index=df.columns)
# Add the new row using loc[]
df.loc[len(df)] = new_row
# Display the modified DataFrame
df
In this example, we first create a DataFrame with the same structure as before. Then, we create a new row as a Series, ensuring that the Series index matches the DataFrame column names. Finally, we add the new row to the DataFrame using the loc[] accessor with the length of the DataFrame as the index label.
Method 3: Using the concat() function
The concat() function in Pandas allows you to concatenate multiple DataFrames along a particular axis. By using this function, you can also add rows to an existing DataFrame. Here’s an example:
import pandas as pd
# Create a DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame({'Name': ['John', 'Emma', 'Michael'],
'Age': [25, 30, 35],
'City': ['New York', 'London', 'Paris']})
# Create a new DataFrame with the row to be added
new_df = pd.DataFrame({'Name': ['Emily'],
'Age': [28],
'City': ['Berlin']})
# Concatenate the two DataFrames
df = pd.concat([df, new_df], ignore_index=True)
# Display the modified DataFrame
df
In this example, we first create a DataFrame as before. Then, we create a new DataFrame with the row to be added. We use the concat() function to concatenate the two DataFrames along the row axis (axis=0). The ignore_index=True argument ensures that the resulting DataFrame has a new index.
Conclusion
In this tutorial, we explored three different methods to add rows to an existing DataFrame in Python using the Pandas library. We learned how to use the append() function, the loc[] accessor, and the concat() function, along with detailed step-by-step code samples. By mastering these techniques, you can efficiently manipulate and expand your data within DataFrames, making your data analysis workflows more powerful and flexible. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
The Great Mysteries of Universe- Dark Matter and Dark Energy Explained
When we look out into space we see stars, galaxies spinning gracefully in space. All the visible things we can observe in our universe, we call them normal matter. which makes up less than 5% of all the mass in the universe the rest lies in around of absolute darkness.
The dark universe is an invisible yet dominating component of the cosmos it includes a substance called Dark Matter and a force called Dark energy. Physicists believe that the rest of the universe 95% of it is made of dark matter and dark energy. While little less know about either each helps us understand the universe beyond what the eye can see.
Dark Matter:
Gravity is a force that is responsible for moving objects in order and bringing things together. Every object in the universe with mass has gravity. Planets, stars, moons and other objects in the Universe also have gravity. That’s why they orbit around each other,-Like moon orbits around earth and earth orbits the sun.
In the same way, scientists believed that even stars and galaxies are held together by gravity. But when scientists were trying to measure the total mass of a galaxy cluster they found that there is simply not enough mass and visible stuff in galaxies to provide enough gravity to hold the galaxies together. So, there must be something invisible stuff inside and around the galaxies that make these galaxies bind together. They called this unseen matter as dark matter.
Dark matter makes up about 25% of the mass in the universe but its composition is still unknown. The substance neither emits nor reflects light and because of that, it cannot be seen. The existence of dark matter can be inferred based on its gravitational pull on the visible universe. According to scientists, this force prevents galaxies from drifting away. Dark matter may also play a role in the creation of the cosmos. After the big bang dark matter formed a network of filaments across the universe and in this network the first stars and galaxies were born.
Dark Energy:
Something even more mysterious, called dark energy. Normal matter and dark matter generate gravity which holds things together. Dark energy is completely opposite to gravity; it causes things to fly apart.
Long ago scientists pictured and believed that the universe is static. Later they found that the universe is not static and also confirmed that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. I.e. galaxies moving away from each other, since its formation, the Big Bang. There must be some kind of energy pushing acceleration just like we need the energy to accelerate the car. Gravity is not behind this. There is something in space that is pushing things apart. That invisible force they called dark energy.
Dark energy is a mysterious force that fills the space between objects. That makes up about 70% of the mass in the universes. Plus it has a repulsive property that contracts the force of gravity. The reason for the existence of dark energy is unclear. Some theories state that it is the 5th Force of nature. Yet another says it may help explain why the universe is expanding.
In his theory of general relativity, Albert Einstein considered a repulsive force similar to dark energy that pushed space and particles apart called the cosmological constant the variable may provide the clues for space and time.
Much about the dark universe is left to be discovered but with every theory and technological development secrets of the invisible cosmos will come closer to being revealed.

Talk:Flatline (Mutya Keisha Siobhan song)/GA1
GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''
Reviewer: HĐ (talk · contribs) 04:09, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi, this article is short so I'll take the review as quick as possible — Simon (talk) 04:09, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
* The singles chronology makes me confused, "Soul Sound" was credited as Sugababes, so why does it appear here? — Simon (talk) 09:35, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
* Mutya Keisha Siobhan is the first lineup of Sugababes, just with a different name. "Soul Sound" was that lineup's last single.
* Lead
* which consists of the original lineup of the group Sugababes --> Is this really necessary? Because there was already a link to the group
* I don't quite understand this comment, sorry.
* The Mutya Keisha Siobhan band already has its wikilink, so I think that the "which consists of the original lineup of the group Sugababes" is not necessary here — Simon (talk) 12:46, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
* I disagree — as it is their first single, it will be interesting for readers to realize that this group was the first lineup of the Sugababes, as they may not access the group's page. It is vital information here; maybe not for later singles' articles. prism △ 12:55, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
* who also produced it, It was released --> Typo
* Just changed capital letter.
* the reception was not so positive, resulting in the song charting at a low number --> I don't think the low chart position is because of the "reception was not so positive"
* Removed.
* Composition
* At the length of three minutes and fifty-one seconds --> I'd prefer "Having a length of"
* Charts
* Add "!scope="row"" for the charts per WP:ACCESS
* This isn't needed here though, as they are Single chart templates. In the Your Body article, it also has it like this.
The rest: Looks good! — Simon (talk) 09:32, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
* Okay, my issues have been addressed all, so I will promote this to GA status. Good work overall! — Simon (talk) 13:19, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi I noticed this had been promoted and you've done a good job. However, I would like to suggest a few more (quite necessary changes): Thank you! ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅
* Other non-involved user comments
* There referencing could do with improving tbh. Digital Spy as a work, put the publisher should mention Hearst Media, as they own Digital Spy and as is done with other GA articles.
* Done (not done for periodicals though, see cite web template)
* Also, I removed So So Gay is it not a reliable source for GAs, as far as I can tell, its editors are not qualified and there is no editorial board to vet articles before they're published.
* The phrase "contemporary music critics" is redundant → "music critics" will suffice.
* "Commercially the song charted at a low number 50" is verging on puffery - readers are intelligent enough to work out whether 50 is low or high on the charts for themselves, and it reads awkwardly to say the lowest position before the highest position. Also, there's a difference between chart performance and commercial performance. Consider stating "Upon release, "Flatline" debuted at number 14 on the Irish Singles Chart however, on the UK Singles Chart it only managed to debute and peak at number fifty".
* Also, the phrase "rave reviews" is a little puffery → could do with sticking to phrases such as universal positive reviews or critical acclaim, the term rave reviews is quite over the top.
* You should mention were the song was promoted in the lead section, considering the lead is so small, i.e. mention GAY at Scala and the Sacred Three Tour.
* Also, there's over sectionalisation in the promotion section. The lyric video doesn't need its own heading. Almost every single released recieves an official lyric video. Also, the heading "visuals" is not required. Its overdoing the whole navigation thing giving how small the sections are. I would merge lyric video with live performances to make a promotion section and have a separate music video section - this would be more inline with other GA articles.

Template (theme hook) suggestions
Last updated on
September 27, 2016 - 00:44
A theme hook suggestion is an alternate template (.tpl.php) file that you have created to override the base or original template file.
For Drupal 8 follow Template naming convention URL.
Theme debug mode
As of Drupal 7.33, Drupal core has a theme debug mode that can be enabled and disabled via the theme_debug variable and is very helpful when working with template suggestions.
Custom Theme Hook Suggestions
Custom suggestions beyond the ones listed below can be created. See the page Working with template suggestions.
Default Theme Hook Suggestions in Core
block--[region|[module|--delta]].tpl.php
base template: block.tpl.php
Theme hook suggestions are made based on these factors, listed from the most specific template to the least. Drupal will use the most specific template it finds:
1. block--module--delta.tpl.php
2. block--module.tpl.php
3. block--region.tpl.php
"module" being the name of the module and "delta", the internal id assigned to the block by the module.
For example, "block--block--1.tpl.php" would be used for the first user-submitted block added from the block administration screen since it was created by the block module with the id of 1. "region" will take effect for specific regions. An example of a region-specific template would be "block--sidebar_first.tpl.php".
If you had a block created by a custom module called "custom" and a delta of "my-block", the theme hook suggestion would be called "block--custom--my-block.tpl.php."
Also one more example with Views, if you have a block created by views with a view name "front_news" and display id "block_1" then the theme hook suggestion would be: block--views--front-news-block-1.tpl.php (notice, when you have underscores in a display id or in a view name - you have to transform them into a single dash)
Be aware that module names are case sensitive in this context. For instance if your module is called 'MyModule', the most general theme hook suggestion for this module would be "block--MyModule.tpl.php."
See block.tpl.php in the Drupal API documentation for more information.
comment--node-[type].tpl.php
base template: comment.tpl.php
Support was added to create comment--node-type.tpl.php files, to format comments of a certain node type differently than other comments in the site. For example, a comment made on an article-type node would be "comment--node-article.tpl.php".
See comment.tpl.php in the Drupal API documentation for more information.
comment-wrapper--node-[type].tpl.php
base template: comment-wrapper.tpl.php
Similar to the above but for the wrapper template.
See comment-wrapper.tpl.php in the Drupal API documentation for more information.
field--[type|name[--content-type]|content-type].tpl.php
base template: field.tpl.php
Theme hook suggestions are made based on these factors, listed from the most specific template to the least. Drupal will use the most specific template it finds:
1. field--field-name--content-type.tpl.php
2. field--content-type.tpl.php
3. field--field-name.tpl.php
4. field--field-type.tpl.php
Note that underscores in a Field's machine name are replaced by hyphens. Also remember to include "field-" in custom field names, e.g: field--field-phone.tpl.php.
See field.tpl.php in the Drupal API documentation for more information.
forums--[[container|topic]--forumID].tpl.php
base template: forums.tpl.php
Theme hook suggestions are made based on these factors, listed from the most specific template to the least. Drupal will use the most specific template it finds:
For forum containers:
1. forums--containers--forumID.tpl.php
2. forums--forumID.tpl.php
3. forums--containers.tpl.php
For forum topics:
1. forums--topics--forumID.tpl.php
2. forums--forumID.tpl.php
3. forums--topics.tpl.php
See forums.tpl.php in the Drupal API documentation for more information.
html.tpl.php
base template: html.tpl.php
The following are some examples of how you may override the base template:
1. html--internalviewpath.tpl.php
2. html--node--id.tpl.php
See html.tpl.php in the Drupal API documentation for more information.
maintenance-page--[offline].tpl.php
base template: maintenance-page.tpl.php
This applies when the database fails. Useful for presenting a friendlier page without error messages. Theming the maintenance page must be properly setup first.
See maintenance-page.tpl.php in the Drupal API documentation for more information.
node--[type|nodeid].tpl.php
base template: node.tpl.php
Theme hook suggestions are made based on these factors, listed from the most specific template to the least. Drupal will use the most specific template it finds:
1. node--nodeid.tpl.php
2. node--type.tpl.php
3. node.tpl.php
See node.tpl.php in the Drupal API documentation for more information.
page--[front|internal/path].tpl.php
base template: page.tpl.php
The suggestions are numerous. The one that takes precedence is for the front page. The rest are based on the internal path of the current page. Do not confuse the internal path to path aliases which are not accounted for. Keep in mind that the commonly-used Pathauto module uses path aliases.
The front page can be set at "Administration > Configuration > System > Site information." In Drupal 6, at "Administrator > Site configuration > Site information." Anything set there will trigger the suggestion of "page--front.tpl.php" for it.
The list of suggested template files is in order of specificity based on internal paths. One suggestion is made for every element of the current path, though numeric elements are not carried to subsequent suggestions. For example, "http://www.example.com/node/1/edit" would result in the following suggestions:
1. page--node--edit.tpl.php
2. page--node--1.tpl.php
3. page--node.tpl.php
4. page.tpl.php
Also see page.tpl.php in the Drupal API documentation for more information.
How Drupal determines page theme hook suggestions based on path
Here is another explanation based on the theme_get_suggestions() function:
The list of possible templates for a given page is generated by Drupal through the theme_get_suggestions() function, which is called by the template_preprocess_page() function.
The Drupal path of the page is first broken up into its components. As mentioned above, the Drupal path is not any of its aliases: there is one and only one Drupal path for a page. For the examples "http://www.example.com/node/1/edit" and "http://www.example.com/mysitename?q=node/1/edit", the Drupal path is node/1/edit, and its components are "node", 1, and "edit".
Next, the prefix is set to "page". Then, for every component, the following logic is followed:
1. If the component is a number, add the prefix plus "__%" to the list of suggestions.
2. Regardless of whether the component is a number or not, add the prefix plus "__" plus the component to the list of suggestions.
3. If the component is not a number, append "__" plus the component to the prefix.
After the list of components is iterated through, if the page is the front page (as set through "Administration > Configuration > System > Site information."), then "page__front" is added to the list of suggestions.
Note that eventually, to turn a suggestion into an actual file name, "__" gets turned into "--", and ".tpl.php" gets appended to the suggestion. Thus, for node/1/edit, we get the following list of suggestions:
1. page.tpl.php (this is always a suggestion)
2. page--node.tpl.php (and prefix is set to page__node)
3. page--node--%.tpl.php
4. page--node--1.tpl.php (prefix is not changed because the component is a number)
5. page--node--edit.tpl.php (and prefix is set to page__node__edit)
6. page--front.tpl.php (but only if node/1/edit is the front page)
When the page is actually rendered, the last suggestion is checked. If it exists, that suggestion is used. Otherwise the next suggestion up is checked, and so on. Of course, if none of the overriding suggestions exist, page.tpl.php is the final suggestion. This also explains why page--front.tpl.php, if it exists, overrides any other suggestion for the front page: it is always the last suggestion for the page designated as the front page.
poll-results--[block].tpl.php
base template: poll-results.tpl.php
The theme function that generates poll results are shared for nodes and blocks. The default is to use it for nodes but a suggestion is made for rendering them inside block regions. This suggestion is used by default and the template file is located at "modules/poll/poll-results--block.tpl.php".
See poll-results.tpl.php in the Drupal API documentation for more information.
poll-vote--[block].tpl.php
base template: poll-vote.tpl.php
Similar to poll-results--[block].tpl.php but for generating the voting form. You must provide your own template for it to take effect.
See poll-vote.tpl.php in the Drupal API documentation for more information.
poll-bar--[block].tpl.php
base template: poll-bar.tpl.php
Same as poll-vote--[block].tpl.php but for generating individual bars.
See poll-bar.tpl.php in the Drupal API documentation for more information.
profile-wrapper--[field].tpl.php
base template: profile-wrapper.tpl.php
The profile wrapper template is used when browsing the member listings page. When browsing specific fields, a suggestion is made with the field name. For example, http://drupal.org/profile/country/Belgium would suggest "profile-wrapper--country.tpl.php".
See profile-wrapper.tpl.php in the Drupal API documentation for more information.
region--[region].tpl.php
base template: region.tpl.php
The region template is used when a page region has content, either from the Block system or a function like hook_page_build(). Possible region names are determined by the theme's .info file.
See region.tpl.php in the Drupal API documentation for more information.
search-results--[searchType].tpl.php
base template: search-results.tpl.php
search-results.tpl.php is the default wrapper for search results. Depending on type of search different suggestions are made. For example, "example.com/search/node/Search+Term" would result in "search-results--node.tpl.php" being used. Compare that with "example.com/search/user/bob" resulting in "search-results--user.tpl.php". Modules can extend search types adding more suggestions of their type.
See search-results.tpl.php in the Drupal API documentation for more information.
search-result--[searchType].tpl.php
base template: search-result.tpl.php
The same as above but for individual search results.
taxonomy-term--[vocabulary-machine-name|tid].tpl.php
base template: taxonomy-term.tpl.php
Theme hook suggestions are made based on these factors, listed from the most specific template to the least. Drupal will use the most specific template it finds:
1. taxonomy-term--tid.tpl.php
2. taxonomy-term--vocabulary-machine-name.tpl.php
3. taxonomy-term.tpl.php
Note that underscores in a vocabulary's machine name are replaced by hyphens.
See taxonomy-term.tpl.php in the Drupal API documentation for more information.
Add a page.tpl.php depending on content type.
In Drupal 7, you do this by having this code in the function THEME_preprocess_page (where THEME is the name of the theme) in the theme's template.php.
function THEME_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
if (isset($variables['node']->type)) {
// If the content type's machine name is "my_machine_name" the file
// name will be "page--my-machine-name.tpl.php".
$variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'page__' . $variables['node']->type;
}
}
Add the if-statement at the end if this function already exists in the theme's template.php, otherwise, add the functions.
Cache issue
When working with theme hook suggestion, there is a possibility that Drupal use its cache rather than the new templates as suggested. Remove the cache if you experience this problem. To clear the cache, choose one of the methods described in Clearing Drupal's cache. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Cloud GPU: The Benefits of Using GPUs in the Cloud
4 Mins read
Cloud GPU
If you’re considering cloud computing and want to know if a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is necessary, allow us to explain the advantages of using cloud-based GPUs for data-intensive applications.
What is a GPU?
Computers are powerful machines that rely on their heart or the core – the central processing unit (CPU). This component is an essential part of a computer, enabling fast mathematical and logical operations as well as controlling software execution, input/output devices, and a range of other resources.
CPUs operate in a specific way. While capable of providing efficient solutions for many applications, CPUs struggle when required to handle high-throughput calculations in parallel. This challenge is especially evident for applications involving graphical processing such as video gaming or digital art production.
This is where a graphics processing unit came in.
A GPU is a specialized type of processor that is designed specifically to handle the complex calculations required to render images and video. GPUs are an essential component of many modern computers, particularly those used for gaming, video editing, and other graphics-intensive tasks.
The primary function of a GPU is to process and display images and video, but they can also be used to perform other types of calculations. For example, many modern GPUs are powerful enough to be used for scientific and mathematical applications, such as simulations, data analysis, and machine learning.
GPUs are different from traditional processors, such as CPUs, in that they are designed to perform many calculations simultaneously, rather than sequentially. This makes them well-suited for tasks that require a lot of parallel processing, such as rendering images and video. Many modern GPUs have hundreds or even thousands of processor cores, which allow them to handle complex tasks much faster than a traditional CPU.
What do cloud platforms do?
Before we learn about the benefits of using GPUs in the cloud, we need to observe the kinds of applications cloud platforms include.
• Data Storage: Cloud computing provides online space to store data, such as documents, audio, videos, and images. Users can store huge volumes of data in cloud storage and access it over multiple devices.
• Analytics: The gargantuan amount of data is beyond the scope of traditional storage systems. Thankfully, cloud computing provides limitless capacity to store and explore large volumes of big data, allowing its users to unlock invaluable business intelligence.
• Machine Learning: Machine learning algorithms can autonomously explore vast amounts of data to uncover insightful strategies and solutions. By repetitively working through their models in parallel processing, these advanced systems can continuously refine themselves for optimal performance.
• Pattern Recognition: From machine learning to analytics, pattern recognition can be seen at every level of cloud processing. But recently more complex pattern recognition tasks such as biometric identification, facial recognition, etc., using behavioral identifiers have become a standard in business applications.
What GPUs in cloud platforms do?
Now, let us connect GPU with cloud computing. In the last few years, cloud GPUs have become the basis of high-performance cloud computing to meet the ever-increasing demand for pattern and analytics-based workloads. Companies are advised to use Cloud GPUs by ZNetLive for light to heavy computations.
Let us understand the benefits of using Cloud GPUs:
Local Resources Usage Reduction: Cloud computing essentially provides limitless access to powerful resources without consuming local resources. Complex Machine Learning models and rendering tasks can interfere with the everyday use of computers, leading to sluggish performance or even reduced functionality. Outsourcing to the cloud eliminates computing stress and provides users with a hassle-free experience on their devices.
The traditional role of the personal computer has changed. With the advent of cloud computing, the computer has become a command center. It orchestrates complex computational tasks without requiring direct processing efforts by itself.
Rapid and Easy Scaling: ZNetLive NVIDIA GPU cloud provides easy scalability and is powered by world-class infra by NVIDIA. Thus, you get seamless scalability, allowing you to expand your team or workload quickly and easily.
Time Saving: Over the past ten years, computers and Kanban product management systems have demonstrated the importance of iterative work. For designers, this is especially applicable; shorter rendering times can lead to faster iteration – going from a delay of 8 minutes down to 10 seconds makes an immense difference that allows creators an unparalleled level of fluidity in their workflow.
By using a small render farm, an experienced team can drastically decrease their render times from days to just a few minutes. Not only will this lead the team workflow towards far more efficient outcomes but will also sustain it for years. Setting up a small render farm may take anything from hours to one week, depending upon experience.
Cloud GPUs can help you adjust the modelling process of machine learning from anywhere between 8-12 hours to a mere 10-15 minutes.
Cost Reduction: GPUs offer unparalleled power efficiency and workload streamlining capabilities, allowing businesses to benefit from lower hardware costs while avoiding wasted resources. Additionally, once the system is up-and-running, minimal management of its infrastructure will be required meaning less overhead expenditure for companies looking to leverage this technology.
Utilize GPU-Driven Cloud Systems from ZNetLive
Technology advancement has pushed the boundaries of distributed cloud processing, demanding solutions for more complex problems. For this, optimized hardware is needed to process copious amounts of data daily. A combination of advanced GPU-powered hardware is necessary to maintain high throughput levels while accommodating scalability needs associated with data-intensive tasks like machine learning and genomic sequencing, and managing big data sets efficiently.
To get this robust infrastructure, start with Cloud GPU now. You’ll get a comprehensive list of features, including cloud storage options, powerful functions supporting efficient database management, and seamless integration with frontend applications.

Boilerplated notice for use when editors object to the removal of a redlinked category from their userpage. To use:
Your redlinked category
* (Sigh). Here we go again.
* This isn't complicated: per WP:REDNOT, don't put redlinked categories on pages, and don't retain on a page after Category:Foo has been deleted.
* This is because all redlinked categories (on articles, userpages, or any other namespace) are listed together in cleanup lists such as Special:WantedCategories (which is where I found this one). Those cleanup lists are supposed to be (wait for it!) cleaned up, not filled with permanent entries because some editors decide to ignore a CFD consensus.
* If there's some point which an editor wants to make on their userpage, there are many other ways to do it: userboxes, text, pictures, whatever. Make it humorous, whimsical, polemical or whatever. But categories either exist or they don't: placing a page in a redlinked category throws an error which impedes the work of others. No matter how screamingly funny or wise anyone thinks the redlinked category is, it's still impeding cleanup.
* And yes, there are many many other things to be cleaned up on en.wp. That's why I think it's a huge pity that so much of the time spent by those of us who clean up Special:WantedCategories is taken up by the tiny number of editors who seem to think that their unique sense of humour or justified indignation or whatever entitles them to ignore both a consensus and WP:REDNOT and make work for others. All the time spent on dealing with that drama could spent on other editing, or on life joys such as watching children, playing with cats, etc.
* That's why Category:Wikipedians who retain deleted categories on their userpages was created as a kludge. Re-creating the category page as a hard redirect using gets the thing out of cleanup lists, and allows the editors involved to feel v proud (or whatever) that they disregard a consensus decision and have apparently no reservations about impeding the encyclopedic maintenance work done by others. If you're happy to join that set, then do it and all is sorted. Personally, I'd not want to be in that group, but YMMV.
* I made a template for this reply, because it's a regular issue, tho only with a v small number of editors. Amazingly, 99.99% of editors manage to express all their talents and humour and considered views and beliefs and allegiances without trying to populate deleted usercats. They just post a thank-you notification when their page is fixed. Odd, that: how can the 99.99% be so wildly out of step with everyone else? | WIKI |

Counting Tweets in R – Substrings, Chaining, and Grouping
I was recently sent an email about transforming tweet data and presenting it in a simple way to represent stats about tweets by a certain category. I thought I would share how to do this:
A tweet is basically composed of text, hash tags (text prefixed with #), mentions (text prefixed with @), and lastly hyperlinks (text that follow some form of the pattern “http://_____.__”). We want to count these by some grouping – in this case we will group by user/character.
I prepared a sample data set containing some made up tweets by Sesame Street characters. You can download it by clicking: Sesame Street Faux Tweets.
Fire up R then load up our tweets into a dataframe:
# Load tweets and convert to dataframe
tweets<-read.csv('sesamestreet.csv', stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
tweets <- as.data.frame(tweets)
We will use 3 libraries: stringr for string manipulation, dplyr for chaining, and ggplot2 for some graphs.
# Libraries
library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)
library(stringr)
We now want to create the summaries and store them in a list or dataframe of their own. We will use dplyr to do the grouping, and stringr with some regex to apply filters on our tweets. If you do not know what is in the tweets dataframe go ahead and run head(tweets) to get an idea before moving forward.
gluten <- tweets %>%
group_by(character) %>%
summarise(total=length(text),
hashtags=sum(str_count(text,"#(\\d|\\w)+")),
mentions=sum(str_count(text,"@(\\d|\\w)+")),
urls=sum(str_count(text,"^(([^:]+)://)?([^:/]+)(:([0-9]+))?(/.*)"))
)
The code above starts with the variable we will store our list in … I called it “gluten” for no particular reason.
1. We will apply transformations to our tweets dataframe. The “dplyr” knows to step into the next command because we use “%>%” to indicate this.
2. We group by the first column “character” using the function group_by().
3. We then create summary stats by using the function summarise() – note the American spelling will work too 😛
4. We create a summary called total which is equal to the number of tweets (i.e. length of the list that has been grouped)
5. We then count the hashtags by using the regex expression “#(\\d|\\w)+” and the function str_count() from the stringr package. If this regex does not make sense, you can use many tools online to explain it.
6. We repeat the same step for mentions and urls
Phew. Now lets see what that outputs by typing “gluten” into the console:
character total hashtags mentions urls
1 Big Bird 2 5 1 0
2 Cookie Monster 3 2 1 1
3 Earnie & Bert 4 0 4 0
Which is exactly what we would see if we opened up the CSV file.
We can now create simple plots using the following code:
# Plots
ggplot(data=gluten)+aes(x=reorder(character,-total),y=total)+geom_bar(stat="identity") +theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1))+ylab("Tweets")+xlab("Character")+ggtitle("Characters Ranked by Total Tweets")
ggplot(data=gluten)+aes(x=reorder(character,-hashtags),y=hashtags)+geom_bar(stat="identity") +theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1))+ylab("Tweets")+xlab("Character")+ggtitle("Characters Ranked by Total Hash Tags")
ggplot(data=gluten)+aes(x=reorder(character,-mentions),y=mentions)+geom_bar(stat="identity") +theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1))+ylab("Tweets")+xlab("Character")+ggtitle("Characters Ranked by Total Mentions")
ggplot(data=gluten)+aes(x=reorder(character,-urls),y=urls)+geom_bar(stat="identity") +theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1))+ylab("Tweets")+xlab("Character")+ggtitle("Characters Ranked by Total URLs ")
Admittedly they’re not the prettiest plots, I got lazy ^_^’

Hi there, I really like you posts, they’re always insightful. I just wonder what you could do if you wanted to have each separate character’s text attached to your gluten data frame in the end. Is there a means to have like a column of stacked text for each separate character inside the data frame ? Basically you’d have for the first row (Big Bird, 2, 5, 1, 0, “I miss @oscarthegrouch, he’s a nice #guy””The letter of the day is #B for #Bird #Big and #Banana”) where the text is stacked in the same entry.
thanks

Hi Mikael,
Thanks!! Very kind of you.
Yes in principle you can by using the mutate() function from the dplyr package and paste() function. I will try it out tonight and post an update soon 🙂 if you solve it before that please do share!
Salem

Hey, thank you very much for your quick reply. I think I solved it out, but I’d really like to get your angle anyway. Here’s what seems to work for me :
gluten %
group_by(character) %>%
summarise(total=length(text),
hashtags=sum(str_count(text,”#(\\d|\\w)+”)),
mentions=sum(str_count(text,”@(\\d|\\w)+”)),
urls=sum(str_count(text,”^(([^:]+)://)?([^:/]+)(:([0-9]+))?(/.*)”)), text= toString(text)
)

Yup! That works :]
Here is a solution that appends totals to each row of tweet – which means you can pivot with excel.
gluten <- tweets %.%
group_by(character,text) %.%
mutate(total=length(text),
hashtags=sum(str_count(text,"#(\\d|\\w)+")),
mentions=sum(str_count(text,"@(\\d|\\w)+")),
urls=sum(str_count(text,"^(([^:]+)://)?([^:/]+)(:([0-9]+))?(/.*)")))
Another solution is to show totals for each character and list every tweet with those totals
gluten <- tweets %.%
group_by(character) %.%
mutate(total=length(text),
hashtags=sum(str_count(text,"#(\\d|\\w)+")),
mentions=sum(str_count(text,"@(\\d|\\w)+")),
urls=sum(str_count(text,"^(([^:]+)://)?([^:/]+)(:([0-9]+))?(/.*)")))
and then your solution works perfect to put them in a list :]

Stories From the Neighborhood, Then Goose Bumps
vows Kelly Hayes and John Nordstrom grew up in the same town and went to the same high school, but, until recently, had somehow never managed to meet. Kelly Hayes and John Nordstrom had crossed paths countless times since they were children, but it was only about two years ago that they finally connected. Both had grown up in Middletown, N.J., their homes only 10 minutes apart. And they had a mutual friend, although they were never in that friend’s company together. “She was John’s childhood friend, and is in my birthday party pictures as a little girl,” Ms. Hayes said. “She lived across the street from my grandparents.” Ms. Hayes, now 36, and Mr. Nordstrom, 38, also both attended Middletown High School South in Middletown, N.J. He was a year ahead of her, and despite walking through the same hallways every day, the two somehow never met. “Looking back, you would think that Kelly and I would have at least heard of each other,” Mr. Nordstrom said. “It’s kind of strange.” Ms. Hayes, a pharmaceuticals saleswoman in the cardiology field, married in July 2011. She and her husband lived in a townhouse in Tinton Falls, N.J., where Ms. Hayes met Mary Curtis and Bill Carlone, an older couple who lived next door. They treated Ms. Hayes as if she were family. “We spent many happy hours on our adjoining back patios,” Ms. Hayes said. “Life was good.” Around the same time, Mr. Nordstrom, who works in the financial services industry, specializing in hedge fund administration, had moved to San Diego for a relationship that lasted only six months. He eventually returned to the East Coast to live in Red Bank, N.J. “It was a time when most of my friends were getting married and having children,” he said, “and I wasn’t so sure if New Jersey was the right fit for me in terms of my future.” By the spring of 2015, the good life for Ms. Hayes was ending. She was getting divorced, and her neighbors were experiencing major health issues. “Bill was battling pancreatic cancer and Mary was in the hospital and rehabilitation center recovering from some sort of cardiac-related issues,” Ms. Hayes said. “As I’m packing up my house, Bill’s health was really deteriorating and Mary could not care for him because of her own health problems. “I began checking in on Bill,” she continued. “I made him dinner, walked his dog, Jimmy, and took him to chemo appointments.” Mr. Carlone died in August 2015, three months after Ms. Hayes, who still keeps in touch with Ms. Curtis, moved to an apartment in Asbury Park, N.J. Ms. Hayes says she tried online dating and went on about 30 first dates “that just didn’t seem like a fit or connection, which was probably just me not being ready for a real relationship.” Despite these frustrations, Ms. Hayes said she “soon began loving the life I had never expected to live.” She enjoyed Asbury Park’s music scene, and long walks with her dog, Ben, who liked spending time at Yappy Hour, a fenced-in space where dogs play while their owners chat and enjoy cocktails at the Wonder Bar. Ms. Hayes also took a trip to Peru, which had been on her bucket list. “Slowly, I began adjusting to my new normal,” she said. [Sign up for Love Letter and always get the latest in Modern Love, weddings, and relationships in the news by email.] In July 2017, Ms. Hayes was encouraged by her best friend, Erin Krusius, to set up another online dating profile. “I was hesitant and didn’t want to play the games,” she said. “But Erin had met her husband, Justin, online and it seemed to be the way people meet these days.” She joined Match and Bumble, and within the first day or two, received many matches. “One stood out,” she said, “John from Red Bank.” Ms. Hayes and Mr. Nordstrom immediately clicked. “She seemed so sincere, so sweet and down to earth, it was almost too good to be true, ” Mr. Nordstrom said. “Though we had just met, I could honestly see us being together.” They were soon dating. On their third date — at a beach bar in Asbury Park, their toes in the sand — they shared a conversation that gave them both goose bumps. Ms. Hayes had not yet told Mr. Nordstrom about her divorce, but when she finally did he replied, “I already knew that.” More than a bit confused, Ms. Hayes, who said her social media accounts were “set to super private,” asked Mr. Nordstrom how he knew that information. Mr. Nordstrom told her that one night after they had connected on Bumble and began chatting, but before they met in person, he had visited his best friend, a man named Chris, who asked Mr. Nordstrom if he was dating anyone. “No, but I’m talking to this one girl Kelly that seems really down to earth,” Mr. Nordstrom replied. When Mr. Nordstrom produced a photo of Ms. Hayes, Chris Carlone said, “I know her! She took care of my dad.” Both Ms. Hayes and Mr. Nordstrom were stunned. “Timing is everything,” Ms. Hayes said. “John and I were inseparable from that point forward, and the more we learned about each other, the deeper in love we fell.” “He is the most amazing soul I have ever met,” she added. “We love, understand, support and most of all, have a deep respect for each other.” A few weeks after the Chris Carlone revelation, Ms. Hayes and Mr. Nordstrom had another goose-bump moment. Both were enjoying another conversation in which he told her that growing up, he lived next door to an older couple and often played baseball on their front lawn. Then one day, when he was 7, he said, he hit a ball that went crashing through the couple’s front window, and his mother made him apologize and offer to pay to replace the shattered glass. As Mr. Nordstrom told the story, he described the older gentleman as sweet and mild mannered and having to breathe with an portable oxygen tank. Ms. Hayes asked what street this couple had lived on, and when Mr. Nordstrom said “11th Street, in the Belford section of Middletown,” she told him that the man with the oxygen tank was her grandfather. “As it turned out, John lived next door to my grandparents for 11 years, and we never ran into each other,” Ms. Hayes said. “That left no doubt in our minds that we were put on this earth to be together.” They continued dating, and Mr. Nordstrom said he came to “feel a level of trust and comfort with Kelly that I had never come close to feeling before.” His mother, Patricia Nordstrom, said she felt that same level of comfort when Ms. Hayes began dating her son. “I knew from Day 1, when Kelly walked into his life, that this was it for John,” she said. “I have never seen him that happy with any other woman.” Ms. Hayes and Mr. Nordstrom were sailing along until February 2018, when doctors discovered a rare tumor in Ms. Hayes’s head that needed to be removed. Doctors had warned that the surgery she needed could threaten her facial nerve and result in “a droopy smile.” Mr. Nordstrom stood by her side during the surgery, which was a success, and for weeks after, until Ms. Hayes was firmly back on her feet again — without a droopy smile. The couple moved into an apartment together in Neptune, N.J., in May 2018, and Mr. Nordstrom proposed that November in their kitchen. “It was low-key and perfect, totally us,” Ms. Hayes said. “I have a lot to smile about these days.” They were married Sept. 27 at the Huisman Gazebo in Belmar, N.J., beneath a bright sun that shined a light on Silver Lake, which served as a backdrop for the ceremony. Taylor Pavilion could be seen in the distance along Belmar’s spectacular oceanfront, where beachgoers enjoyed the last vestiges of summer. The reception followed later that evening at Porta, an events space in Asbury Park. “John has not had a bad day since he met Kelly,” said Mr. Nordstrom’s father, John Nordstrom, as tears began to fall behind his dark sunglasses. Brenda Hayes, the bride’s mother, said that her daughter “was always leery after her divorce.” “But the moment John came along, you could see a huge difference come over her,” she said. “She was suddenly at ease and very relaxed and so very happy because she knew he truly loved her and cared about her.” The couple were soon standing before the Rev. Dr. Robert Jani, a Universal Life minister, as well as 11 family members and Ben, who served as best dog. “By divine intervention or the alignment of the planets or by God’s amazing grace or just by really good luck, we are here today,” Mr. Jani said, “and so the magic begins.” When Sept. 27, 2019 Where Huisman Gazebo, Belmar, N.J. Wedding Attire The bride wore an ivory dress from Tadashi Shoji, along with her great-grandmother’s pearls that had been restrung into a bracelet as a wedding gift from her mother. The groom donned a gray three-piece suit and custom cuff links with a compass and their wedding ceremony coordinates engraved, a gift from the bride. Sunflowers in Bloom Guests received packets of sunflower seeds to plant. Sunflowers are meaningful to the couple — it was the first flower that the groom bought for the bride, not knowing it was her favorite. First Dance The couple chose “Someone Like You,” by Van Morrison, for their first dance. The song was played live by the Pour Boys, a New Jersey band. Father Knows Best “I’m a people person, and I have a very good feel for John, he’s very sincere,” said Stephen Hayes, the bride’s father. “This is Kelly’s second time around, and I think it will be a charm.” Continue following our fashion and lifestyle coverage on Facebook (Styles and Modern Love), Twitter (Styles, Fashion and Weddings) and Instagram.

What is a positive herpes score?
What is a positive herpes score?
A positive test result means that herpes IgM was detected in the sample. A negative result means that no IgM was detected. An equivocal test result means that the test was unable to determine whether or not there was an antibody present.
What is a high herpes index?
Fuchs, personal communication), in our sexually transmitted disease clinic, results are categorized by index value: scores of 1.1–3.5 are considered to be low positive and scores >3.5 are considered to be high positive.
Is herpes worse 1 or 2?
HSV-1 can cause “genital herpes,” but most cases of genital herpes are caused by HSV-2. Typically, someone with HSV-2 will have sores around the genitals or rectum. Symptoms are usually the most intense during the first outbreak and become less intense over time.
Does herpes have a 100% transmission rate?
Yes! According to a 2010 study conducted by Emily T. Martin and others, there is a high risk of herpes transmission during protected sex when one of the partners is herpes-positive. The probability reaches 50% to 70%.
What does HSV 0.91 mean?
Test results for herpes fall within a numeric range. If your test returns a value of 0.91 or below you are negative. A value of 1.09 or above is a positive.
What does a high HSV-2 result mean?
Positive/Abnormal. It may mean you have an active infection (you currently have sores), or were infected in the past (you have no sores). If you tested positive for HSV, talk to your health care provider. While there is no cure for herpes, it hardly ever causes serious health problems.
Is herpes 1 and 2 the same?
HSV-1 is mainly transmitted by oral-to-oral contact to cause oral herpes (which can include symptoms known as “cold sores”), but can also cause genital herpes. HSV-2 is a sexually transmitted infection that causes genital herpes. Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections are lifelong.
What is the transmission rate of herpes?
One study examined rates of genital herpes transmission in heterosexual couples when only one partner was initially infected [1]. Over one year, the virus was transmitted to the other partner in 10 percent of couples. In 70 percent of cases, infection occurred at a time when there were no symptoms.
What are the odds of transmitting herpes?
The chance of herpes transmission from a herpes-positive male to his susceptible female partner is 7%–31% (10% on average). This is about two-and-a-half times higher than the chance of herpes transmission from an infected female to a susceptible male (4%).
What do herpes levels mean?
The results of your HSV blood test will generally be reported as positive, negative, or equivocal. A positive result means that IgG was detected, while a negative result means that IgG was not detected. An equivocal test means that the results were unclear.
What happens if the herpes test is normal?
The herpes virus was not found. You may still have an HSV infection if your results were normal. It may mean the sample didn’t have enough of the virus to be detected. If you still have symptoms of herpes, you may need to get tested again. Positive/Abnormal.
What do you need to know about the HSV test?
An HSV test looks for the presence of the virus in your body. While there is no cure for herpes, there are medicines that can help manage the condition. Other names: herpes culture, herpes simplex viral culture, HSV-1 antibodies, HSV-2 antibodies, HSV DNA What is it used for? An HSV test may be used to: Why do I need an HSV test?
What kind of sores does herpes simplex virus cause?
Herpes is a skin infection caused by the herpes simplex virus, known as HSV. HSV causes painful blisters or sores in different parts of the body. There are two main types of HSV: HSV-1, which usually causes blisters or cold sores around the mouth (oral herpes) HSV-2, which usually causes blisters or sores in the genital area (genital herpes)
Can a person test positive for HSV without a cold sore?
Without a herpes outbreak present (such as a cold sore ), it’s extremely difficult to know whether or not you’re HSV-positive, and herpes testing is so flawed and misunderstood that doctors say it leads to unnecessary stress. Picture this: You’ve started seeing a new partner and you two feel ready to have sex. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
He Chong
He Chong (born June 10, 1987, in Zhanjiang, Guangdong) is a Chinese diver. He is the 2008 Olympic Champion in the 3m springboard.
He split with partner Wang Feng after they won a gold medal in the 3m synchronised springboard event at the 2005 World Championships. The two staged a reunion and won gold at the same event in the 2006 Diving World Cup in Changshu, China.
At the 2008 Olympics He Chong defeated an elite field of divers including, the two time world champion Alexandre Despatie, the 2006 world cup champion Qin Kai, and eight time Olympic medalist Dmitri Sautin.
He lit the flame at the 2010 Asian Games opening ceremony.
He is often referred to as the greatest springboard diver in history due to having gone almost unbeaten from 2008 to 2016. He is hoping to be the first diver to regain an individual diving Olympic title at the 2016 Rio Games, after a rare off day led to a loss of his title in 2012 where he won only bronze, his only loss in a Fina World Cup final, World Championships, or Olympics he competed in from 2008 to 2014. He was left off the Chinese team for the 2016 Rio Games in favor of his own brother He Chao, the 2015 World 3 metre Champion.

Edge-injective and edge-surjective vertex labellings
Brandt, Stephan; Miskuf, Jozef; Rautenbach, Dieter GND; Regen, Friedrich GND
For a graph G = (V,E) we consider vertex-k-labellings f : V \rightarrow {1,2,...,k} for which the induced edge weighting w : E \rightarrow {2,3,..., 2k} with w(uv) = f(u) + f(v) is injective or surjective or both. We study the relation between these labellings and the number theoretic notions of an additive basis and a Sidon set, present a new construction for a so-called restricted additive basis and derive the corresponding consequences for the labellings. We prove that a tree of order n and maximum degree \triangle has a vertex-k-labelling f for which w is bijective if and only if \triangle \leq k = n/2. Using this result we prove a recent conjecture of Ivančo and Jendrol' concerning edge-irregular total labellings for graphs that are sparse enough.
