All Things VPN
By Yaroslav Vorontsov, Software and Security Architect, DataArt
The popularity of VPNs is growing every day. Usage is skyrocketing as people realize how much information they leave behind on the Internet, how much data IT giants collect, and how fast the number of breaches and data leaks is rising. Not surprisingly, Internet users want a tool to help them protect their privacy.
VPNs were originally created to connect business networks securely over the Internet or allow employees to access a business network remotely. Soon thereafter, people began using VPNs as alternative Internet access points (as a way to change a location/ IP address or to bypass Internet censorship).
Today people are looking for ways to keep their online activity protected, and VPNs have come to the rescue. According to The Best VPN, there are a number of reasons why Internet users are using VPNs:
• 50% say they use a VPN for access to geo-blocked entertainment content
• 34% say it’s to access social networks and news services restricted by governments
• 31% say it’s to browse anonymously.
However, using a VPN connection doesn’t guarantee online anonymity. For example, many VPN providers state that they do not keep logs in order to ensure privacy; however, this is not always true. It’s important to remember that a provider stores user credit card details and must obey local laws – this means that some information is still collected, and this information could be aggregated, for example by law enforcement, to identify a person who used the VPN service at a particular time. The only relatively reliable way to maintain better privacy with classic VPNs is to rent a VM / dedicated server, deploy any of the many free VPNs on it, and allow connections from devices you trust. This requires basic IT skills, so it might not be an option for ordinary users – that’s why they prefer proxies (which generally have the same privacy issues as VPNs do – but you have to trust a provider) or Tor (which is slower, but easier to start using a special browser).
Another method used by restrictive governments to block a user’s online traffic is a system called DPI, or Deep Packet Inspection. Deep Packet Inspection is a network packet filtering method that analyzes both the header and the data portion of a packet (a small bundle of data related to everything you do, send, and receive online) and decides whether particular network streams (sequences of packets used for communicating to a resource) are allowed or not. If VPN traffic is moving via a non-encrypted tunnel, the DPI system can recognize it and block a user’s connection. Even when VPN protocols began to use encryption, DPI systems were upgraded and developed the ability to capture VPN connection sessions and block them by protocol type. That is why most VPNs are easily recognized by DPI systems and by next-generation firewalls, which are installed by restrictive governments to prevent people from using private connections and force them to follow the government’s internet regulations or used in corporate traffic monitoring systems to enforce security policies.
The only “classic” VPN protocol that cannot be spotted by a DPI without SSL/TLS traffic inspection is SSTP (Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol). It is a popular VPN solution developed by Microsoft and supported by multiple other vendors. In order to work, SSTP uses SSL/TLS over port 443. This technique is known as a great solution that helps SSTP bypass online restrictions and almost every kind of firewall, except those which have TLS inspection enabled. In such cases, a firewall performs a so-called “man-in-the-middle attack” to decrypt the payload of network packets and check it according to the rules configured by administrators. Once the traffic is decrypted, the firewall can intercept PPP authentication inside SSTP, match it with the blacklist of protocols, and terminate the VPN session.
Fortunately, over the last years, several fundamentally new VPN solutions have appeared, all of which are mimicking some other kind of traffic that isn’t banned. Such means of data transfer is called steganography – it helps not only in keeping data private, but also hides the fact of encrypted data transfer. Since the traffic produced by these VPNs can’t be distinguished from ordinary TLS or even from noise/garbage, they circumvent DPI appliances quite easily. The most interesting among such VPNs are:
1) SoftEther VPN is a Japanese Academic Research Project at the University of Tsukuba. The SoftEther VPN protocol is responsible for securing communications between the VPN client and the VPN server. It basically establishes an encrypted tunnel between the two, ensuring that any information that passes through the tunnel can’t be monitored by anyone. In a basic configuration, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary TLS stream, but it could also be tweaked to use DNS or even ICMP packets for data transfer.
2) GoVPN. It features encrypted authenticated data transport that hides the message’s length and timestamps. GoVPN is resistant to offline dictionary attacks, replay attacks, and has the ability to work through UDP, TCP, and HTTP proxies. It also provides a censorship-resistant mode, so the traffic becomes fully indistinguishable from the noise.
3) WireGuard. A brand-new solution which was recently included into the Linux kernel mainline. WireGuard has been designed with ease-of-implementation and simplicity in mind, so it’s extremely simple to configure and provides great performance and security.
It’s also worth mentioning that there are extra tools that help maintain network privacy, like HTTP and SOCKS proxies, Tor network, GoodbyeDPI utility, and others. Each of them, including VPNs, has advantages and disadvantages. It’s worth taking a closer look and choosing the right tool for the purpose and planned activities.

"O son of Atreus, and ye other chiefs of the Greeks, first, indeed, extinguish the whole pile, as much as the fire has seized, with dark wine; and then let us collect the bones of Patroclus, the son of Menœtius, well discriminating them (for they are readily distinguished; for he lay in the center of the pyre, but the others, both horses and men, were burned promiscuously at the extremity), and let us place them in a golden vessel, and with a double [layer of] fat, till I myself be hidden in Hades. And I wish that a tomb should be made, not very large, but of such a size as is becoming; but do ye, O Achæans, hereafter, make it both broad and lofty, you who may be left behind me at the many-benched barks."
Thus he spoke; and they obeyed the swift-footed son of Peleus. First of all, indeed, they totally extinguished the pyre with dark wine, as much as the fire had invaded, and the deep ashes fell in; and, weeping, they collected the white bones of their mild companion into a golden vessel, and a double [layer of] fat: then, laying them in the tent, they covered them with soft linen. Next they marked out the area for the tomb, and laid the foundations around the pile; and immediately upraised a mound of earth; and, heaping up the tomb, returned. But Achilles detained the people there, and made the wide assembly sit down; but from the ships he brought forth prizes, goblets, tripods, horses, mules, and sturdy heads of oxen, and slender-waisted women, and hoary iron.

NAME
Sisimai - Mail Analyzing Interface for bounce mails.
SYNOPSIS
use Sisimai;
DESCRIPTION
Sisimai is a Mail Analyzing Interface for email bounce, is a Perl module to parse RFC5322 bounce mails and generating structured data as JSON from parsed results. Sisimai is a coined word: Sisi (the number 4 is pronounced "Si" in Japanese) and MAI (acronym of "Mail Analyzing Interface").
BASIC USAGE
make('/path/to/mbox')
make method provides feature for getting parsed data from bounced email messages like following.
use Sisimai;
my $v = Sisimai->make('/path/to/mbox'); # or Path to Maildir/
# $v = Sisimai->make(\'From Mailer-Daemon ...');
if( defined $v ) {
for my $e ( @$v ) {
print ref $e; # Sisimai::Data
print ref $e->recipient; # Sisimai::Address
print ref $e->timestamp; # Sisimai::Time
print $e->addresser->address; # shironeko@example.org # From
print $e->recipient->address; # kijitora@example.jp # To
print $e->recipient->host; # example.jp
print $e->deliverystatus; # 5.1.1
print $e->replycode; # 550
print $e->reason; # userunknown
print $e->origin; # /var/spool/bounce/2022-2222.eml
my $h = $e->damn; # Convert to HASH reference
my $j = $e->dump('json'); # Convert to JSON string
my $y = $e->dump('yaml'); # Convert to YAML string
}
# Dump entire list as a JSON
use JSON '-convert_blessed_universally';
my $json = JSON->new->allow_blessed->convert_blessed;
printf "%s\n", $json->encode($v);
}
If you want to get bounce records which reason is "delivered", set "delivered" option to make() method like the following:
my $v = Sisimai->make('/path/to/mbox', 'delivered' => 1);
dump('/path/to/mbox')
dump method provides feature to get parsed data from bounced email as JSON.
use Sisimai;
my $v = Sisimai->dump('/path/to/mbox'); # or Path to Maildir
print $v; # JSON string
OTHER WAYS TO PARSE
Read email data from STDIN
If you want to pass email data from STDIN, specify STDIN at the first argument of dump() and make() method like following command:
% cat ./path/to/bounce.eml | perl -MSisimai -lE 'print Sisimai->dump(STDIN)'
Callback Feature
Beginning from v4.19.0, `hook` argument is available to callback user defined method like the following codes:
my $cmethod = sub {
my $argv = shift;
my $data = {
'queue-id' => '',
'x-mailer' => '',
'precedence' => '',
};
# Header part of the bounced mail
for my $e ( 'x-mailer', 'precedence' ) {
next unless exists $argv->{'headers'}->{ $e };
$data->{ $e } = $argv->{'headers'}->{ $e };
}
# Message body of the bounced email
if( $argv->{'message'} =~ /^X-Postfix-Queue-ID:\s*(.+)$/m ) {
$data->{'queue-id'} = $1;
}
return $data;
};
my $message = Sisimai::Message->new(
'data' => $mailtxt,
'hook' => $cmethod,
);
print $message->catch->{'x-mailer'}; # Apple Mail (2.1283)
print $message->catch->{'queue-id'}; # 2DAEB222022E
print $message->catch->{'precedence'}; # bulk
OTHER METHODS
engine()
engine method provides table including parser engine list and it's description.
use Sisimai;
my $v = Sisimai->engine();
for my $e ( keys %$v ) {
print $e; # Sisimai::MTA::Sendmail
print $v->{ $e }; # V8Sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
}
reason()
reason method provides table including all the reasons Sisimai can detect
use Sisimai;
my $v = Sisimai->reason();
for my $e ( keys %$v ) {
print $e; # Blocked
print $v->{ $e }; # 'Email rejected due to client IP address or a hostname'
}
match()
match method receives an error message as a string and returns a reason name like the following:
use Sisimai;
my $v = '550 5.1.1 User unknown';
my $r = Sisimai->match($v);
print $r; # "userunknown"
version()
version method returns the version number of Sisimai.

CMD Print DIR to text file
dir > print.txt The ">" symbol is telling to put the output of the command to whatever is next. In this case "print.txt". This is useful for writing any output to a file in a script or whatever. Example: dir > %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\print.txt This example will print the directory listing to print.txt on your desktop. Other flags: dir /b file names only dir /s include all sub folders & files Original source: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000772.htm Actually I really like that site, and spent some time taking their quiz. Entertaining.
CMD combine CSV files into one
Image
I had the need to combine several CSV (excel) files into one file. The set was long enough that even opening them and copy/pasting would take over an hour. This little trick will do it in a few seconds. (in windows) 1. Put all of your files in the same folder. They all need to be CSV format and should be the only CSV files in the folder. You may want to remove headers from your spreadsheets if you don't want them later. 2. Open a command prompt. Windows+R > cmd This should be the normal command prompt because it doesn't work in powershell. 3. Navigate to the folder with your .csv files 4. type " copy *.csv newfilename.csv " 5. A new file named "newfilename.csv" will show up in the same folder. If you wanted to copy it somewhere else you could run copy *.csv path\newfilename.csv. Example: copy *.csv %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\newfile.csv This will copy all the CSV files from the folder you are in to a file on your desktop named newfile.csv
Save communicator chat history in outlook
For some reason, our installation of communicator was set not to save any messages by default, but it did save my call history. Since I don't have any juicy communications at work, I don't have any problem saving everything in communicator. I save those chats for gchat. By the way, administrators of communicator can view your conversations in communicator, so I would be careful when using it. They also control if these settings are available, so you might not be able to change much anyways. When this option is selected, your chat messages and history will be saved to a folder in Outlook named "Conversation". (Image) Enabling this is very easy. It's done in Communicator, NOT in Outlook. 1. In Communicator go to file, tools, options... 2. Check the box that says " Save my instant message conversations in the Outlook Conversation History folder" After restarting you will have a folder in Outlook that will save your chats from now on.

Only one processor showing XP
This fix is if Windows XP is only showing one processor on a multi processor/core machine. 1. Boot to safe mode with networking 2. Delete (or rename) the following if they exist from C:\WINDOWS\System32\ hal.dll ntoskrnl.exe ntkrnlpa.exe (Check for these. They usually do not exist but delete them if they do) halmacpi.dll ntkrnlmp.exe ntkrpamp.exe 3. Copy the following into C:\WINDOWS\System32\ from the files described in the bottom note. hal.dll ntkrnlpa.exe ntoskrnl.exe 4. Reboot and it should fix itself the rest of the way. NOTE: The new files in step 3 were taken from the originals which can be found on other machines in C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386: halmacpi.dll renamed to –>HAL.DLL ntkrnlmp.exe renamed to –>ntoskrnl.exe ntkrpamp.exe renamed to –>ntkrnlpa.exe
Outlook 2010 - Change default from-address gmail
Image
It took me a while to figure out how to change the default from address in Outlook when using gmail or a google apps account. I've done it in Office 2010. This will make your alias the default email address when sending any emails. It won't say "on behalf of" or anything like that. 1. Set up gmail account in outlook if you haven't done so already http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=77689 2. In file tab, open Options 3. Select Advanced Tab 4. Send/Recieve... 5. Edit... 6. Select your account and click Account Properties... 7. IMAP E-mail tab 8. Change E-mail Address: (not User Name) Now when sending emails from the original account, the email address will actually be the new one even when the original account is selected. Note: You can't use google apps sync with this solution; you have to use use calendar sync if you want use the calendar also. If you just want to change the from address once, you c

If you would like to create a list of all domain users in excel with a powershell script you are in luck. Quest software has created some pretty awesome tools to manage Microsoft Active Directory. Here's how to do it: 1. You'll need to install the Quest ActiveRoles management shell v. 1.4 or later, located here: http://www.quest.com/powershell/activeroles-server.aspx 2. Create a PowerShell file with the following script. Basically, just copy this text into a text file and rename the extension to .ps1. #This script requires Quest ActiveRoles management shell v.1.4 or later and Powershell to be installed. http://www.quest.com/powershell/activeroles-server.aspx #The script may be run on any machine that is bound to the domain and actively connected.

Hypothesis Test: Mean – Two Independent Samples
This test is used to test a claim about the equality of the means of two independent populations. (If the data are somehow matched or paired, do not use this test; use the hypothesis test for "Mean Matched Pairs.") For example, this test could be used for the claim that "Men have a mean IQ score that is equal to the mean IQ score of women," which would be denoted as "Pop. Mean 1 = Pop. Mean 2."
First select the format of the original claim that is to be tested. Note that there are 6 different choices, which can be viewed by clicking on the small box to the right of the default claim ("Pop. Mean 1= Pop. Mean 2"). Use the up/down arrow keys to highlight the desired choice, then click on that desired choice. STATDISK will determine the appropriate null hypothesis from the claim selected.
Significance (level): Enter a positive value in decimal form, such as 0.05.
For Sample 1, make these entries:
Sample Size, n1: Enter the sample size as a positive whole number.
Sample 1 mean: Enter the sample mean of the first sample.
Sample 1 StDev: Enter the standard deviation of the first sample as a positive number.
Population StDev: Enter the value of the standard deviation of the first POPULATION only if that value is known. In reality, this value is usually not known, so this box is usually left blank. DO NOT ENTER THE VALUE OF THE SAMPLE STANDARD DEVIATION HERE.
For the second sample, make the corresponding entries as described above.
If the two POPULATION standard deviations are entered, the results will be based on calculations using a normal distribution, as described in the textbook. If the two POPULATION standard deviations are not both known (as is usually the case), you must choose among these options:
Not Eq vars: NO POOL (That is, do not assume that the two population variances are equal, and do not use a pooled estimate of a common population variance.)
Eq. vars: POOL (That is, assume that the two population variances are equal, and use a pooled estimate of the common population variance.)
Prelim F-Test (That is, have STATDISK do a preliminary F test to decide whether the two population variances appear to be equal. Then, based on the result, proceed by either assuming that the two population variances are not equal (NO POOL) or by assuming that the two population variances are equal (POOL).)
Among the above three options, the NO POOL option generally yields the best results and it is the recommended option.
Note: If the NO POOL option is used, STATDISK proceeds with calculations using the t distribution with the number of degrees of freedom found from the formula included in the textbook (instead of using the simplified "df = smaller of n1-1 and n2-1"). STADISK displays the number of degrees of freedom. Because STATDISK uses the more accurate formula for df, the results may differ somewhat from those given in the textbook.
Click on the Evaluate button to obtain the results.
Click on the Print button to print the results.
Click on the Plot button to display a graph showing the distribution with the test statistic and critical value(s).

Institut d'Art et d'Archéologie
The Institut d'Art et d'Archéologie is a building at 3 rue Michelet in Paris, built for the educational institution of the same name (French for "Institute of Art and Archaeology"). It was initially designed in 1920 in a unique eclectic style by architect Paul Bigot, and completed in 1932. It has been dubbed "the most curious building in Paris". The building is currently occupied by the École d'Histoire de l’Art et d'Archéologie, a department of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University.
Overview
In 1908, designer Jacques Doucet initiated a pioneering library of art-related books complemented by research works he sponsored, and in late 1917 donated it to the University of Paris. In 1913, Paris University administrator Louis Liard advocated the creation of a new art history institute and received a promise from Marchioness Marie-Louise Arconati-Visconti for a donation of two million francs, which she later increased to three million. Additional funds were contributed by the City of Paris and the French government.
In March 1920, three prominent scholars, Émile Mâle, Gustave Fougères and René Gabriel Schneider, outlined a specific program for the future institute that would incorporate Doucet's library at the center, surrounded by classrooms that benefit from natural light. Paul Bigot won the two-round architectural competition in October 1920, with a design conceived as an alternative to the architectural rationalism that was ascendant in France at the time.
The building's structure is made of reinforced concrete, and its facades are clad with bright red brick manufactured at the Gournay brickworks on the current municipality of Vitry-sur-Seine. The unique design carries echoes of Tuscan Renaissance architecture and the Doge's Palace in Venice,, but Bigot's creative reinterpretation has also elicited comparisons with a synagogue, a hammam, a sub-Saharan African kasbah, the Alhambra in Granada, the Baths of Diocletian and church of Santa Maria in Ara Coeli in Rome, among others. Construction started in May 1924 and was substantially completed in 1928, but the decoration and interior fittings took four more years. It was formally inaugurated in 1931. The exterior frieze, first sketched by Bigot in 1922, was only completed in 1934, and the Doucet Library was eventually installed in 1935.
On the ground level runs a red terracotta frieze, mostly produced at the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres, that reproduces iconic sculptures whose study was part of the art history curriculum. They include lion-faced gargoyles from Himera, the Ludovisi Throne, sections of the Parthenon Frieze, garlands from Rome's Ara Pacis, the Battle of Actium relief from Palestrina, griffins from the entablature of Rome's Temple of Antoninus and Faustina, and the Cantoria of Luca della Robbia in Florence, as well as non-Classical sculpture from Ancient Egypt, Assyria and Angkor Wat on the rear side. The metalwork for the entrances on rue Michelet was created by Raymond Subes. Mirroring Bigot's eclectic mixing of distinct periods of art history on the brick facades, the main door combines motifs of ancient Roman lattice and medieval quatrefoil, and the side doors display a mix of Greek volutes and quatrefoil.
On the upper (fourth) floor, Bigot reserved a large space for a copy of his lifelong passion, a large plan-relief of ancient Rome in plaster (predating Italo Gismondi's more famous Il Plastico at the Museum of Roman Civilization). The institute's model, installed in September 1933, was destroyed by students during May 68, whereas the surviving Paul Bigot's plan-relief of Rome is now kept at the University of Caen Normandy.
In 1993, Doucet's library left the institute to join the Bibliothèque nationale de France, and was transferred to the newly created Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art in 2003. In March 1997, a new library was established in the Institute in its place hosting less rare art-related books and other resources, known as the -Bibliothèque Michelet.
The building was listed in the Inventaire supplémentaire des monuments historiques in 1994, and as a full Monument historique in 1996. It was comprehensively renovated in the 2000s. | WIKI |

Opinion | The Republicans’ Gay Freakout
Frank Bruni OUR infrastructure is inexcusable, much of our public education is miserable and one of our leading presidential candidates is a know-nothing, say-anything egomaniac who yanks harder every day at the tattered fabric of civil discourse and fundamental decency in this country. But let’s by all means worry about the gays! Let’s make sure they know their place. Keep them in check and all else falls into line, or at least America notches one victory amid so many defeats. That must be the thinking behind Republican efforts to push through so-called religious liberty laws and other legislation — most egregiously in North Carolina — that excuse and legitimize anti-gay discrimination. They’re cynical distractions. Politically opportunistic sideshows. And the Republicans who are promoting them are playing a short game, not a long one, by refusing to acknowledge a clear movement in our society toward L.G.B.T. equality, a trajectory with only one shape and only one destination. They’re also playing a provincial game, not a national one, and scoring points in their corners of the universe at the expense of the Republican Party’s image from north to south and coast to coast, a brand that needed a makeover — remember the broadly ballyhooed “autopsy” following Mitt Romney’s 2012 defeat? — and somehow didn’t get so much as a tweezed eyebrow or dab of blush. Yes, two of the four longest-lasting candidates for the party’s presidential nomination, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, are the sons of Cuban immigrants, but much of the oratorical gunfire they exchanged revolved around who would be tougher on immigration. The autopsy didn’t recommend that. Nor did it want Republican leaders to spotlight divisive social issues and hurtle anew into the culture wars, which is precisely what Gov. Pat McCrory of North Carolina, who is up for re-election in the fall, just did. He hastily signed a sweeping anti-gay and anti-transgender law that was rushed through the State Legislature as if the state’s security and economy were in immediate peril. It takes forever in this country to build a new bridge, tunnel or train line, but it took no time flat for politicians in the Tar Heel State to convene a special session, formally ostracize North Carolina’s L.G.B.T. voters and wrap conservative Christians in a tight embrace. Who says America’s can-do spirit is dead? What happened in North Carolina is a problem for Republicans atop the major trouble (Cruz, Donald Trump) that they already had. It exposes divides within the party that are ever more difficult to paper over and contradictions that aren’t easy to explain away. While the marriage of the party’s evangelical and business wings has never been a cuddly one, it’s especially frosty now, their incompatible desires evident in the significant number of prominent corporations that have denounced the North Carolina law and that successfully pressed the Republican governor of Georgia, Nathan Deal, to veto recent legislation that would have permitted the denial of services to L.G.B.T. people by Georgians citing religious convictions. Corporations want to attract and retain the most talented workers, and that’s more difficult in states with discriminatory laws. They want to reach the widest base of customers and sow loyalty among young consumers in particular, and the best strategy for that is an L.G.B.T.-friendly one, given that eight in 10 Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 support non-discrimination laws, according to a 2015 Public Religion Research Institute survey. So they’re increasingly at loggerheads with the G.O.P., whose gay-rights advocates are still in the minority and whose socially conservative members still profit from and promote a derisive view of gays. The gay-rights front isn’t the only one on which there’s tension between the party and big business. The Republican primaries are awash in anti-immigrant sentiment and screed; corporate America generally backs immigration reform. The protectionism and nativism that have had such currency in the contest so far conflict with many corporations’ interests. What’s more, several major companies are so concerned about the brew of misogyny, racism and xenophobia stirred up by Trump that they are debating whether to follow through with their usual sponsorship of the Republican National Convention, as The Times’s Jonathan Martin and Maggie Haberman reported last week. THE party’s anti-gay efforts not only undermine its pro-business stance but also contradict conservatives’ exaltation of local decision making. The North Carolina law was drafted and passed expressly to undo and override an ordinance in the state’s most populous city, Charlotte, that extended L.G.B.T. protections against discrimination to transgender people who want to use bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity. The law went so far as to forbid any municipality from instituting its own anti-discrimination protections, lest they contradict the state’s. Apparently conservatives love the concept of local control when the locality being given control tilts right, but they have a different view when it leans left. Rural sensibilities must be defended while cosmopolitan ones are dismissed. North Carolina harbors both. Its tensions are America’s in miniature, and in terms of gay rights, they’re a reminder that the Supreme Court’s ruling last June to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide was hardly the finish of the fight. That ruling was certain to prompt the kind of backlash now occurring in North Carolina, Georgia and elsewhere, because the steadily growing majority of Americans who favor gay equality is not yet overwhelming, and the climate of acceptance changes greatly from state to state and county to county. Too many of us L.G.B.T. Americans and our allies were too busy celebrating to stay alert to that. Too few of us acknowledged the tenaciousness of opponents who will resort to whatever they must, including the hallucinated specter of male sexual predators entering women’s restrooms, to sweep aside anti-discrimination laws that include us and to turn public sentiment against us. They will lose in the end — whether that’s 10, 20 or 30 years from now. Meanwhile they’ll do undeniable harm to the Republican Party nationally and force tough, coalition-straining choices upon it. They’ll also steal oxygen from matters more central to this country’s continued vitality and prosperity. Look, I used to be a restaurant critic. I know dessert is important. But if you want to make America great again, you can’t waste time worrying about who’s cutting the wedding cake. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Graphene: proposal of API change of FindBy to achieve extensibility
lfryc
We currently use @FindBy annotation as a replacement for WebDriver's own @FindBy annotation.
Those annotation allows to specify what location strategy to use, supporting variety of strategies from element identifiers, CSS selectors, XPath to some other bizzare ways.
The purpose of own @FindBy annotation was to extend this set of location strategies by support for jQuery.
----
The FindBy allows to specify element location in following ways:
@FindBy(id = 'xyz')
@FindBy(css = '.class')
@FindBy(jquery = '.class:visible')
or
@FindBy(how = CSS, using = '.class')
----
However neither from those styles allows for extensibility.
We can't introduce new properties to @FindBy(my_strategy=...) nor we can extend How with MY_STRATEGY because it's enum.
----
The number of use cases where extending the location strategy would be useful are plethora, but most prominent is particular need of some web frameworks:
E.g.
Location by JSF IDs
the server_id is a short version of long clientId, which can differ by the environment in which the component is used
Location by AngularJS Model names
AngularJS comes with its own expression language where expressions can be used in HTML markup.
We could use model names to find elements on the page which is a similar what End-to-End tests for AngularJS use.
Question is simple: how to allow for extensibility of FindBy?
• 1. Re: Graphene: proposal of API change from FindBy to FindByJQuery to achieve extensibility
lfryc
I have two proposals:
1. re-define @FindBy(how = How) where how should be Class<? extends How> instead of enum.
@FindBy(how = JQuery.class, using=".class:visible") for jQuery
@FindBy(how = JSF.class, using="component-id") for JSF
locating <h:commandButton id="component-id" />
@FindBy(how = NG.class, using="modelProperty") for AngularJS
locating <input ng-model="modelProperty" />
Additionally, one could change the default location strategy for whole project, so that one could use just:
@FindBy("component-id")
when arquillian.xml will specify <property name="defaultLocationStrategy">org.jboss.arquillian.graphene.by.ByJSF</property>
Sample:
@FindBy(how = JSF.class, using = "due")
private Calendar dueDate;
@FindBy(how = JSF.class, using = "edit")
private Button editButton;
@FindBy(how = JSF.class, using = "delete")
private Button deleteButton;
----
2. allow to extend a syntax with own annotations:
@FindByJQuery(".class:visible")
@FindByJSF("component-id")
@FindByNg("modelProperty")
where
@ElementLocationStrategy(resolver = ByJSF.class)
public @interfaces FindByJSF {
String value();
}
@FindByJSF("due")
private Calendar dueDate;
@FindByJSF("edit")
private Button edit;
@FindByJSF("delete")
private Button delete;
• 2. Re: Graphene: proposal of API change of FindBy to achieve extensibility
lfryc
Another aspect of this API which is in question is re-definition of WebDriver's @FindBy.
I don't really like there is a duplicity on classpath, since it makes a life with IDEs harder:
you get two FindBy implementations in type search, so you need to mind the package name.
• 3. Re: Graphene: proposal of API change of FindBy to achieve extensibility
kpiwko
Lukas,
I really hate having own @FindBy annotation. Therefore, I'd definitely prefer having a bunch of @FindByXYZ annotations with some "SPI" that allows user to register their own annotation - e.g. all @FindByXYZ annotations are marked with a meta annotation.
Something like: https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-unifiedpush-server/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jboss/aerogear/unifiedpush/annotations/PATCH.java
Karel

I am voting for the second option as well. It gives us less verbose syntax, without need (but with possibility) to setup something on the global level. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Question 6#
A 16-year-old woman develops weakness, wheezing, and shortness of breath 5 minutes after receiving intramuscular ceftriaxone for gonorrhea. She is on no other medications. On examination, she is anxious and in respiratory distress. BP is 80/50, HR is 142, and RR is 40. She has large hives on her chest, and her tongue is edematous. She has both wheezing and stridor.
Which of the following is most important immediate treatment?
A) Intramuscular or intravenous epinephrine 0.3 mg STAT
B) Intravenous epinephrine 1 mg IV push
C) Intravenous methylprednisolone 100 mg and diphenhydramine 50 mg
D) Intravenous normal saline 1 L over 20 minutes
E) Intravenous dopamine titrated to a mean arterial pressure of 60 mm
Correct Answer is A
Comment:
This patient has severe anaphylaxis (anaphylactic shock) and immediate treatment may be life-saving. Epinephrine is the cornerstone of treatment. For mild to moderate cases, subcutaneous epinephrine is recommended. If the patient is in shock, cutaneous perfusion may be compromised and IM or IV epinephrine is preferable. The proper dose is 0.3 mg (0.3 mL of the 1:1000 solution, diluted if given intravenously), repeated if necessary at 5- to 10-minute intervals. The 1-mg container of epinephrine, available on the “crash cart,” is reserved for cardiac arrest. Antihistamines such as diphenhydramine can be used for mild urticaria but are ineffective in anaphylaxis. Corticosteroids are not helpful acutely; they are given to prevent the “second wave” of mediator release that can occur 8 to12 hours after the initial event. Intravenous saline is important in the management of shock, but will not relieve the laryngospasm and bronchospasm. Epinephrine will elevate the blood pressure more promptly than saline. Dopamine is less effective than epinephrine in anaphylactic shock; in addition it takes longer to uptitrate the infusion rate than it does to give every-5-minute boluses of epinephrine. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

The Phantom Light
The Phantom Light is a 1935 British crime film, a low-budget "quota quickie" directed by Michael Powell and starring Binnie Hale, Gordon Harker, Donald Calthrop, Milton Rosmer and Ian Hunter. The screenplay concerns criminals who try to scare a new chief lighthouse keeper on the Welsh coast, in an attempt to distract him from their scheme.
Plot
Sam Higgins alights at the train station for the Welsh village of Tan-Y-Bwlch to take over the North Stack lighthouse, which is believed by the locals to be haunted. There, he meets Alice Bright. She asks him to take her along to the lighthouse, explaining that she belongs to a "psychic society" and wants to investigate the "legend of the phantom lighthouse". He turns her down.
Sam reports to Harbour Master David Owen, who informs him that Jack Davis, Sam's predecessor, "just disappeared", as did the chief lighthouse keeper before him. Owen confirms there was a major shipwreck a year ago, caused, so he believes, by the phantom light. Jim Pearce tries to bribe Sam to take him to the lighthouse; Sam guesses he is a reporter. Alice later overhears Jim ask about hiring a boat, so she tries her charms on him, but again fails.
When Owen, Dr. Carey and others take Sam by boat to the lighthouse, Carey examines Tom Evans, a mentally disturbed member of the resident staff. Evans tries to strangle the doctor, who decides he cannot be moved in his present state, to Sam's discomfort. Just to be safe, Sam ties Tom up. Sam's remaining assistants are Claff Owen (David's brother and Tom's uncle) and Bob Peters.
Then Jim shows up on a boat that is conveniently out of petrol. To Jim's surprise, he has a stowaway: Alice. Sam starts questioning his unwanted guests. Alice now tells him she is "an actress hiding from the police" because two admirers fought over her with knives.
Strange things start occurring. First a fire breaks out near Tom's bed. Then, Sam overhears Jim plotting something with Alice and admitting he is not a reporter. He fears they may be communist saboteurs. Jim has Alice hang a radio aerial out the window of the bunk room, but Tom (whom Claff has untied) sees her do it and sneaks up behind her. He hears Jim returning, so he hastily retreats to his bunk. When Sam shows up, Jim tells him that he is a naval officer after wreckers out to sink the Mary Fern for the insurance, most of the shares being held by the locals. Then Alice informs him that she is a detective from Scotland Yard.
Jim starts to transmit a warning to the approaching ship, but Bob and Claff are rendered unconscious, the light is sabotaged, and a decoy light is turned on. After Jim sends Alice to fetch Sam, Tom knocks Jim out and disables his radio. When Alice and Sam return, Tom locks them all in. Jim, however, climbs down the side of the lighthouse and swims to the village to alert the coast guard. Claff wakes up and unlocks the door, allowing Sam to set about repairing the light. They overhear Carey talking to Tom and learn that the doctor is the mastermind. The Mary Fern is saved just in time. Then, trapped at the top of the lighthouse, Carey decides to jump.

Production
The opening scenes were filmed at Tan y Bwlch station on the Festiniog Railway. The station is actually 7.5 mi from the coast. The station mistress was based on Bessie Jones, who lived in the station house with her husband at the time and who was famous for dressing up in authentic Welsh costume. However the character portrayed in the film bore little resemblance to Bessie Jones in real life.
Reception
Writing for The Spectator, Graham Greene described the film as "an exciting, simple story" and compared its plot to that of Wilfrid Wilson Gibson's poem Flannan Isle. Specific praise was given to actors Harker (for a "sure-fire Cockney performance") and Calthrop (whom Greene favourably compared to Charles Laughton). In Beacons in the Dark, film historian Robyn Ludwig praises the "suspense-thriller tone... [in which] characters inhabit an isolated, claustrophobic space in which loyalty cannot be assured, and allies and enemies cannot be easily distinguished."
Home media
The film has been released on Region 1 DVD by MPI along with Red Ensign (1934) and The Upturned Glass (1947).
The film has been released on Region 2 DVD by Opening in the "Les films de ma vie" series. The DVD has non-removable French subtitles for the original English soundtrack. A digitally restored version of the film has also been released by Network DVD in Region 2. | WIKI |

Access secrets across AWS accounts
This section details the configuration required to access secrets across AWS accounts.
In the following example, there are two different AWS accounts. The first is a PRODUCTION account (the account where you run applications) and the other is a CENTRAL_SECURITY account (the account where you manage secrets). In your configuration you would use your specific account, key, secret, and role names.
1. On the CENTRAL_SECURITY account:
1. Create an AWS key as described in the Creating and storing the AWS KMS section.
2. Create an AWS secret as mentioned in the Creating and storing the secret section.
3. Create an IAM role with a policy which allows permissions for secrets and a KMS decryption used for the secrets as described in the Creating and storing the IAM Policy and the Creating and storing the IAM Role sections.
4. Also under the trust relationships in IAM role, add the PRODUCTION account IAM role details to assume it.
Example:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "ec2.amazonaws.com"
},
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
},
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor3",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "arn:aws:iam::982380164364:role/production_role"
},
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
}
]
2. On the PRODUCTION account, create an IAM role with a policy which assumes the CENTRAL_SECURITY account IAM role where secrets are defined.
Example:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor0",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:iam::111122223333:role/central_security_role"
]
}
]
}
3. Attach the PRODUCTION account IAM role to EC2 instance, by following the steps in Attach an IAM role to an instance.

The Music Box Kid
The Music Box Kid is a low budget 1960 gangster film directed by Edward L. Cahn, starring Ron Foster and Luana Patten.
Plot
Set in 1920s New York, this story begins with Larry Shaw and Margaret Shaw having a housewarming party, where they meet Father Gorman as Larry is leaving to take care of business for Chesty Miller. Larry decides after finishing the job for Chesty that he has bigger plans in his future and demands a raise. Chesty decides to put Larry on the D and E (Discipline and Execute) squad to scare his rival Biggie Gaines, Larry finds this not suited to his goals and knocks out Bo, Chesty's enforcer and head of the D and E, Chesty after this makes Larry head of the D and E squad and gives him a machine gun also known as a music box. Larry begins his reign by terrorizing the streets of New York; this makes Chesty unhappy as his activities are being noticed by the media and the public is beginning to have a negative view of his gang until his rival "The Bug" calls and tells Chesty he will stay out of his way because he doesn't like the sound of that music box, earning Larry the nickname The Music Box Kid.
After a short narration on the Prohibition, Larry is seen by a witness and is called in to see the District Attorney. Chesty provides Larry with a lawyer and this allows Larry to get away with no proof of his involvement as the witness says he can't be sure. Father Gorman, after hearing about the gang activity in the newspapers, goes to check on Margaret Shaw concerned with her well-being, as he suspects her husband Larry of being a gangster. Margaret learns that her husband is a gangster and that is why they can afford their lifestyle; she becomes terrified for her life. Later that night Larry calls a meeting of his most trusted accomplices and forms the Larry Shaw Enterprises gang, all while Margaret is listening in the kitchen. Larry's first business deal is with his former boss Chesty; he pitches a contract deal which would leave Chesty's gang blameless. Larry's gang becomes successful in dealing contracts to each of the gangs and as Larry becomes delirious with the power he kidnaps Biggie Gaines' right-hand man Pat Lamont and asks for a ransom. Tension increases as Larry and his gang continue to hit the other gangs where it hurts and at the same time tension between Larry and Margaret increase as Father Gorman tries to convince Margaret to tell everything she knows about Larry and his gang to George Gordon, the new chief hired to catch Larry and the other gangsters. Margaret refuses then later overhears Larry's plan to kill George Gordon and offer it as a contract to all the gang leaders for $1 million. Margaret, thinking of her unborn child, calls Father Gorman after Larry and his gang leave and relays the plan to Father Gorman. The next scene Larry is killed by a policeman in the scuffle and the film ends showing the fate of Margaret and Larry's son, who chose to become a Priest.

Polychloroprene behaviour in a marine environment: Role of silica fillers
Polychloroprene rubbers are widely used in marine structures and often filled with silica in order to increase mechanical properties. The presence of silica fillers leads to a complex degradation of the material. This study aims to understand the deeper degradation mechanisms involved when a silica filled polychloroprene is used in sea water. To do so, 4 polychloroprene rubbers filled with different amounts of silica (from 0 to 45 phr) were aged in natural sea water for 6 months at temperatures ranging from 25 to 60 °C. Moreover, a natural rubber with similar formulation was also considered in order to evaluate the role of the chlorine atom in the degradation. . The chemistry and mechanics of the rubber degradation were also studied. In the presence of water and silica fillers, a large decrease in rubber stiffness was observed. This was attributed to the breakage of hydrogen bonds involved in the interaction between the silica and chloroprene matrix and the process is reversible. In the meantime, silica undergoes hydrolysis that leads to silanol formation and so an increase in rubber stiffness when water is removed; this process is irreversible.

Heat
Heat 3189
Photo by: Dario Sabljak
Heat is the energy that flows between two objects because of a difference in temperature. Heat always flows from a body at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature.
Scientists use the term heat differently than do nonscientists. The average person may think of heat as the amount of energy contained in a body. The correct term for that property, however, is thermal energy.
Thermal energy and temperature
According to the kinetic theory of matter, all matter is composed of particles that are constantly in motion. Temperature is a measure of the motion of those particles. The more rapidly particles are in motion, the higher the temperature; the less rapidly they are moving, the lower the temperature.
In theory, it would be possible to reduce the motion of the particles in an object to zero. In that case, the object would contain no thermal energy. The temperature at which all particle motion ends is called absolute zero. Scientists have come within a few millionths of a degree of absolute zero but have never actually reached that point.
Heat Transfer
Another way to think of heat is as a transfer of thermal energy from one place to another. This process occurs in one of three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation.
Conduction. Conduction is the process of heat transfer. Rapidly moving molecules in a hot material collide with slower moving molecules in a cool material. The fast-moving molecules slow down and the slow moving molecules increase their speed. Conduction occurs, then, when two bodies of different temperatures are in contact with each other.
Convection. Convection is the process by which large masses of a fluid (a liquid or gas) move, carrying thermal energy. When water in a container is heated, for example, it expands. Cooler water around it pushes the lighter water upward. As the warm water rises, it begins to cool and starts to move downward in the liquid again. Eventually, a circular motion is produced within the liquid, forcing heat to be transferred throughout the liquid.
Radiation. Finally, thermal energy can be transferred by radiation. Hot bodies emit electromagnetic radiation that corresponds to their temperature. This radiation passes through space until it comes into contact with a body with less thermal energy. The cooler body then absorbs this radiation and becomes warmer.
Transfer of thermal energy. The transfer of thermal energy from one place to another occurs in one of three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation. In conduction, rapidly moving molecules in a hot material collide with slower moving molecules in a cool material. The fast-moving molecules slow down and the slow-moving molecules increase their speed. Conduction occurs, then, when two bodies of different temperatures are in contact with each other.

Finally, thermal energy can be transferred by radiation. Hot bodies emit electromagnetic radiation that corresponds to their temperature. This radiation passes through space until it comes into contact with a body with less thermal energy. The cooler body then absorbs this radiation and becomes warmer.
Heat units
Since heat is a form of energy, the units used to measure heat are the same as those used to measure energy. In the metric system, one of the earliest units used to measure heat was the calorie. The calorie is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius. To be precise, the temperature change is specified as an increase from 14.5°C to 15.5°C.
In the International System of Units (the SI system), the unit of energy is the joule. A calorie is defined as 4.184 joules.
Specific heat
Materials differ from each other with regard to how easily they can be warmed. One could add a joule of heat to a gram of water, a gram of iron, a gram of mercury, and a gram of ethyl alcohol and notice very different results. The temperature of the mercury would rise the most, and the temperature of the water would rise the least.
The specific heat capacity (or just specific heat) of a material is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of the material one degree Celsius. It takes 4.18 joules to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius (at a temperature of 25°C). In comparison, it takes only 0.14 joule to raise the temperature of the same amount of mercury by one degree Celsius and 0.45 joule to raise the temperature of the same amount of iron by one degree Celsius. It takes 2.46 joules to raise the temperature of the same amount of ethyl alcohol by one degree Celsius.

Talk:Bacteria/Archive 1
Sounds fishy
"There are approximately 10 times more bacterial cells than human cells in the human body"
That doesn't make sense. What's the differnce between the two? The general public thinks of bacteria as seperate from the human body, and not a part of it. My brain is telling me there's more muscle, bone and organs than bacteria.
If it does make sense and I'm missing it, maybe it could be clarified.
* It is by cell number not volume. Sad mouse 19:27, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
* Yes, to clarify eukaryotic cells are around 100 times larger than prokaryotes. Now considering this is only diameter, their volume is going to be around 100^3, i.e. one million times smaller than ours, and their mass around the same figure. With this in mind, the mass of bacterial cells, assuming similar density to human cells, will be around 1 part per 100,000, which would translate to around 1 gram of bacteria or less per human being. It doesn't sound like much now, but when you consider that there are 100 trillion cells in the human body, there are quite a few bacteria in that gram or so. See Human flora for more on the subject. Richard001 20:47, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
* I doubt your calculations. The article states that bacteria are 1/10 the size of eukariotic cells. That gives a volume ratio of 1/1000 not 1/100,000,000. See my comment below... - FrankH 22:13, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
I see. So it's on a "number of" basis rather than a mass basis. Bacteria are smaller than normal human cells. Thanks, it does make sense now.
* I doubted this statement at first, but then thought along these lines:: The article also states that the size of the typical bacteria is about 1/10 the size of a typically eukariaotic cell. Taking this as a linear dimension means the volume of the bacterial cell is 1/1000th the volume of a eukariotic cell. Since our bodies are made of eukariotic cells, the statement that there are 10 times more bacterial cells than the human cells in a body means that the total volume of the bacterial cells is 1/100th the volume of all the human cells. Thus in a 200 lb man, the bacteria would weigh about 2 lbs (assuming the density of the bacterial cells and human cells are about the same). This does seem like a reasonable weight for all the bacteria in the gut and on the skin - at least to me. Does anyone else think saying something like this in the article would be helpful or not? My other question is, are there many bacteria in the body that are not in the gut or on the skin? I don't think so, but I don't know. Any experts? I understand that when there is an active bacterial disease, they can be in other tissues, so my question is about a healthy human... FrankH 20:55, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
I don't know for size, but here is an excerpt from Infection, The Uninvited Universe, 2006 on number: "Though we don't often notice it, every human is mostly bacteria. In an average human body...only about 10% of cells are what we call "human" cells. The rest--the vast majority, about 90%--are bacteria." To get a prospective on weight, it goes on to say "...and our feces, by dry weight, are 50%-60% bacteria."--Elgringo18 01:34, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
These size calculations are kind of ridiculous, first of all 'cause cells (especially not the bacteroides and E. coli in our intestines) ain't spheres, and second of all the 1:100 linear size "rule" is an exaggeration. Think of it like this: when you poop, that's virtually all bacteria. Your food got turned into bacteria! Yikes! Hurray! Yeah, these buggers are small compared to yer typical eukaryotic cell, especially by volume. I don't believe the 1:1,000,000 rule, but I'd happily go with anything in the 1:500 to 1:30,000 range. I'm just pulling those numbers out of non-existent hats, by the way. There are many species of bacteria - including chlamydia and rickettsia - that are obligate intracellular pathogens. They have to live inside eukaryotic cells. So hundreds or thousands of them get packed inside of each infected cell. Cajolingwilhelm 02:50, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Entry rewrite
Hi all. I have started to prepare a comprehensive rewrite of the entry Bacteria. I am a microbiologist so I have some some background for the job. If others are interested in collaboration on this task I would be open to that. Leave a message here or on my Talk page.
I propose the following table of contents:
1. Identification and Classification
2. Cell structure
3. Metabolism
4. Reproduction
5. Growth and culture
6. Movement
7. Bacteria and Human Health
8. Bacteria and the Environment
9. Industrial uses of Bacteria
10.See also
11.Sources
12.Further reading
I intend on keeping much of the current content but rearranging it and adding to it considerably. I have read all of the other comments on the page and am considering many of the suggestions.
--Azaroonus 15:39, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
* Hi Azaroonus. While the current article is deficient in places, a complete rewrite (which you suggest up top) probably isn't necessary. Your suggestion to use as much text as possible from the extant version is a good one and probably the best way to go (especially in terms of saving you effort). By all means alter the article structure if you've got a better layout for it. Something about the evolutionary history of bacteria would be good. Also, I presume the current "history" section will be squeezed into Human Health of something in your new plan? If you're planning on adding references, I'd advise checking out the best way to do this - there are several, but some good templates exist for adding stuff like journal entries. Cheers, --Plumbago 15:50, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Lets's call it a comprehensive rewrite then :-) Yes, it is best to keep the content that exists and at a first look I think that most of the current content should stay. Most of the topics that should be covered are covered, the major problem with the article is that it is disorganised and unclear.
Your comment about the history section: don't you think that the short history section that is currently in the article does belongs in Microbiology? Bacteria is the organism, Microbiology is the study of them and there is already a history article here. --Azaroonus 18:12, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
* A very fair point. It probably would be a better place. Evolutionary history, now that's different. Cheers, --Plumbago 21:46, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm. I like it. I will have to see what I can dig up about that. It would be interesting to add some things about when Bacteria evolved, hypotheses based on molecular clocks and perhaps fossil records. Could also discuss the theories of when they broke from Archaea and Eukarya and the chloroplast/mitochondria symbiosis from Bacteria. Not my main field but I will give it a try.--Azaroonus 13:01, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Image
I could edit the image to include a plasmid?Wolfmankurd 11:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC) - Bacteria were formerly classified in the kingdom Monera, but are now given their own domain.
As far as I know,Archaea are still counted as bacteria, the term being a structural rather than phylogenetic one; the domain is called Eubacteria on the tree of life and elsewhere. Also, isn't the five kingdom system still prevalent among biologists, despite its fairly clear inadequacies?
Viewing Bacteria as the super-domain over EuBacteria and Archaebacteria is outmoded and has been superceded by the view that Archaea actually have much more in common with Eukaryota than had been thought. See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/taxonomyhome.html for more information. Note also that the tree of life has shifted to the three domain view, although they do use the term Eubacteria. Note also that all of the alternative high level taxonomies presented on the tree of life site show Archaea as closer to Eukaryota than to Bacteria.
* I agree. So why do we still have a separate article on Eubacteria? I vote that we merge the contents of that article with this one. We then should delete the contents of that article and redirect it to here. Any thoughts? RK
It is definitely true that most biology texts still have the five kingdom view and that many biologists who don't work in systematics will still reiterate when asked. If they review the current literature, most convert quickly to the three domain view (in my limited experience observing this process). -- TedDunning
Reviewing the current literature shows a lot of implicit assumption of the three-domain system, but not a lot of evidence for the phylogenetic hypothesis it entails. In particular Mayr and other opponents argue that the Eubacteria are paraphyletic, and while this view does not have wide support, I haven't found any arguments for their monophyly (except based on Woese's original progenote hypothesis, which he has since disavowed). If someone more familiar with the subject could add these, I would be very grateful.
* Actually, here in central Europe, the view that I have found to be prevalent is to refer to Eubacteria, and Archaea.
Bacteria's is more a general term when the talker doesnt want to distinguish too much. I think the article should reflect the current opinion about the phylum as well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:40, 20 January 2007 (UTC).
Some thoughts:
* Living things shouldn't point to three-domain system, since one is a group and the other is a particular classification of that group, which is not universal.
* On that, the Bacteria may be treated as one of six (or more) kingdoms instead of as a domain. I got the general impression from talk pages that we were planning to use this system, but that doesn't necessarily mean we were planning to abandon domains. How should we rank this group?
* Living things is not a standard taxon, at least not in formal schemes, and is definitely never given a rank like Global Realm. It should not appear as such in the taxobox. What, if anything, should replace it? If nothing, what becomes of the Scientific Classification subbox for top-level groups?
I substantially agree with what you-all have said. But I felt the need to indicate an overall category in some way to give relevance to domain, so that's what I came up with. Any better alternatives are welcome! I strongly feel that we should retain the three-domain system, and that it's much more cladistically correct. I also feel that the taxoboxes should reflect cladistics as much as possible, though it's not always easy. The reason I pointed "living things" the the "Three-domain system" was to point people to an explanation of the organization, since I know a lot of people still aren't familiar with this. jaknouse 15:54 Apr 2, 2003 (UTC)
* I changed it a bit so that it conforms to the convention already established in the other Kingdom articles. I've also never heard of "Global realm" being part of any scientific classification system and it does not make much sense to link to organism there - of course we are taking about organisms. It is best to link that on the first line of the article - not in the taxobox which gives the impression that "Global realm" is an actual classification. The current taxobox also much more clearly illustrates the relationship between the Kingdom and Domain - there was no link to the Kingdom classification before (NOTE: I know that the three domain system and the 6-kingdom system are really two different classification systems but it would be a mistake not to capitalize on the actual compatibility between the two systems - at least at the Kingdom/Domain interface). --mav 21:32 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I disagree, I think listing both domain and kingdom is a mistake. Modern classifications generally don't use both in discussing these groups, and those that do may not recognise a single kingdom in each prokaryotic domain. It removes the main point of the three domains, which you will remember were originally intended as replacements for the kingdoms. I don't think the very small amount of compatability we gain by conflating the two systems is worth it. If we want to use three domains, let's use three domains, and if we want to use six kingdoms, let's use six kingdoms. --Josh
* We could easily get away with removing the domain classification from the eukaryotic kingdoms but the problem here is that bacteria and archea are both kingdoms and domains. That said if anything were removed from here it should be the domain classification since it never really has caught-on in any way comparable to the way multiple kingdom systems have. --mav
I disagree entirely. The Archaea were first introduced by Woese as the third domain of life, and they are generally ranked accordingly. Systems which treat them as a kingdom are derivative, less common, and less recognizable, while systems which treat them as both are less prevalent still. Moreover, some sources divide them into several kingdoms, such as the tree of life. There is more support for a kingdom Bacteria, but this may be taken to include the Archaea, as is done by Cavalier-Smith, while the domain is unambiguous.
In general, I think the three-domain system is far better known than any of the multi-kingdom systems after Whittaker. There is a good reason these groups were being listed as domains: that is the way people think of them and are use to dealing with them. I think we should go with this, treating the eukaryotes in terms of kingdoms and the prokaryotes in terms of domains, instead of trying to force a less natural synthesis. --Josh
* We are using Whittaker with a slight modification by splitting Monera into Bacteria and Archea in order to make this system compatible with the main thrust behind the three domain system (Karl Woese of U of Illinois first proposed the 6-kingdom system before the 3-domain system was proposed if I recall though - but it was proposed to overcome the same major problems). I can't say I've worked much with Archea but I have worked a bit with bacteria and have always treated them as a kingdom, not a domain. I was taught the 5-kingdom system with the caveat that Monera is a poor excuse for a kingdom since it represents two very different branches of life (this is far worse than the "superkingdom" nature of Protista). Thus the split.
* IMO there is no harm done mentioning both classification systems in all the kingdom taxoboxes. It is also my understanding the the domain classification system is subdivided into KPOCFGS just as the 6-kingdom system is (except with one level above kingdom). So why does the kingdom stuff need to be removed from the prokaryotic domains? Just because there is only one accepted kingdom in each of the domains doesn't mean that we should not report this. We do it all the time with lower-level taxoboxes where a family only has one extant genus. --mav
Woese certainly proposed three domains first. It's a little confusing because at some point he was calling them kingdoms, but throughout Bacteria and Archaea were ranked on par with the eukaryotes. That's why the Archaea are referred to everywhere as the third domain or kingdom of life. Based on his approach to microbial diversity, I would be surprised if he had ever proposed the six-kingdom system.
Do the prokaryotic domains each contain a single kingdom? They may be given as both domains and kingdoms in different systems, but that is not the same thing - e.g. the rotifers may be taken to be a class, but as a phylum they have three classes. Most sources don't seem to mention kingdoms for the prokaryotic domains, and those that do don't necessarily have one for each. The tre of life is a fairly notable source, and it casually mentions the "kingdom Crenarchaeota". Many of the pages on Nanoarchaeum did the same. In short, I don't think it's fair to say that what you are proposing is just reporting the classification system as it stands.
Treating the bacteria as a kingdom is a common practice, but as I said, this is mostly thanks to systems that do not separate out the archaea. I would argue that the three-domain system, not the six-kingdom system, is the most familiar of these. And at the moment, the de facto standard that wikipedia has been using is the former, treating Bacteria as a domain rather than a kingdom. So we don't need comptability with the latter, and if we intend to switch towards it, we should have a good reason.
All in all, then, I think listing kingdoms provides no information about relationships and provides misleading information about ranks, for the sole purpose of gaining compatability with a less common system that we don't need to follow. I don't understand why you think they're a good idea. --Josh
* "Woese certainly proposed three domains first." Not according to Campbell 5th Edition, page 499 (ISBN 0-80531957-3), which reads; "Archeabacteria and eubacteria diverged so early in the history of life that many researchers, led by Carl Woese of the University of Illinois, first proposed a six-kingdom system: two prokaryotic kingdoms along with the four eukaryotic kingdoms." Page 495 also says in figure 24.10 when referring to a representation of the 3-domain system "This scheme assigns even more significance to the ancient evolutionary split between eubacteria and archeabacteria by using a superkingdom taxon called the domain. The phylogenetic rationale for this solution is discussed in Chapter 25 [above cite]. The domain Eukarya consists of the four kingdoms of Eukaryotic organisms." So this is the only reference I could find that hints at what the next taxon down from domain would be (in this case the text seems to imply that "kingdom" is the next level down).
* The major issue I have with the 3-domain scheme is that I have yet to see any proposed taxonomy for this system below the top-level. If "kingdom" is not part of this system then that would make a total mess of the taxonomy of Eukarya because that leaves us with hundreds of phyla and divisions just below the top level. But if this system does have kingdoms only for Eukarya and not the other domains then I find such a system logically inconsistent. Actually the more I think about it the more I'm convinced that the 3-domain system isn't really about forming a useful taxonomy down to the species level and therefore doesn't really have a place in a taxobox (which is all about taxonomy). But I still do find the domain information interesting and wish it could stay. At the very least this info needs to be in the prose of the article - its inclusion in the taxobox has always been optional since it isn't really part of the 6-kingdom system. --mav 19:40 11 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Sorry, my mistake. Archaebacteria was originally a kingdom, which Woese renamed Archaea when he promoted it to a domain. In that same revision, he also treated the Crenarchaeota and Euryarchaeota as kingdoms. In other works I have seen these further divided down to species, but generally on the assumption that they are phyla. The same is done with the Bacteria, which I don't think Woese gave kingdoms for. In both cases the kingdoms are skipped in at least some newer treatments.
But I don't think it's fair to say that the kingdoms are absent from the system, or that it's not about classifying organisms down to the species level. The problem is that the kingdoms aren't a stable part of the classification, because the relationships between the different groups aren't clear enough to introduce any that aren't redundant, and so tend to be ignored. It's very much like the protists: the domain is clear, the low-level groups are clear, but the stuff inbetween is uncertain and so tends not to be assigned a full and proper taxonomy. In such cases, I think the best thing for the taxoboxes to do is omit the confused ranks.
These pages have been treating the bacterial and archaean phyla as direct subgroups of the domains because, as far as I can tell, the most recent classifications of bacteria and archaea do the same. This is mirrored on some of the subgroups, and it seems to work well enough - at least I don't think it has caused anyone much confusion, especially if they are familiar with the concept of the domains. I don't see any reason we need to use kingdoms where most workers don't, but if they are that important to you, I would prefer the six-kingdom system to this weird hybrid. --Josh
* I'll have to ponder what you just said a bit before I decide what to do. I think you hit the nail on the head though about the intermediate-level taxons being in a great deal of flux... --mav
* OK. Upon further reflection I think you are right and that we should omit the taxons which are confused (such as the kingdom taxon for bacteria and archea - although a look at the cladistics of these domains seems to indicate to me that 3 kingdoms/next-level-down-taxon exist for archaea and 5 for bacteria - but the last thing I want to do is to go down the splitting route). In short we should stick to the taxons we are sure of. In this case the 3-domain system seems to make more sense for the prokaryotes so lets use that. In time I'm sure biology will work out the specifics of just how many kingdoms are in each domain. But not today. --mav
Thanks, mav. I'm not sure that having Kingdom: uncertain in the placement box doesn't suggest there would only be one, but beyond that it's a good solution. Just out of curiosity, what would the five bacterial kingdoms be? Most of the phylogenies I've seen have been too messy to permit such an easy split. --Josh
* I'm not totally satisfied with the "Kingdom: uncertain" bit either. But then the whole situation with the taxonomy of the prokaryotes is not satisfying. Eventually some explanation in the text about this is warrented. I was mistaken about the bacteria kingdom bit (I was looking at a simplified cladogram that only focused on the top five bacteria groups; spirochetes, chlamydias, gram-positive bacteria, cyanobacteria and proteobacteria); there are in fact about 12 bacterial groups according to Campbell and I really am not qualified to say whether or not they would be phyla or kingdoms. --mav
''Until very recently it was believed that Bacteria were one of the earliest forms of life to develop, and that more developed organisms developed from them. In 1998, however, three New Zealand scientists proposed that the simplicity of bacteria was not a product of their primitivness, but rather indicated the sophistication of their development. Bacteria lack much of the duplication and unecessary genetic structure found in other organisms, however, it is now known that this duplicated structure was almost certainly essential for early life to evolve. Bacteria rather than being primitve are, in fact, a stremlined creature that has dropped the unecessary genetic baggage of the past and are probably more recent developments that bulkier protazoa. This simplicty allowed bacteria to survive in a much wider array of locations than other more complex organisms that could not properly duplicate themselves in adverse surroundings. Most important was the ability of bacteria to survive and replicate in much higher temperatures than other organisms which has lead to vast bacteria populations below the Earth's surface.''
I have an extremely difficult time believing this is anything like the mainstream view. It might be possible that the first organisms must have had more complicated genetic mechanisms might be, but I'm not sure how would be sure. And the idea that bacteria are more recent than protozoa is in direct contradiction with current thinking, which suggests that protozoa originated through endosymbiotic events involving bacteria. I'm going to temporarily remove this from the article, but leave it here in case someone more qualified feels they can NPOV it.

What is going on with the article history at the end of the article? There's hidden text which says, "This section is required under the GFDL here, as we have imported text from a third party under the terms of the GFDL.

Move to 'bacteria'
I've been noticing all the automatic changes (by bot User:CanisRufus) linking bacteria in the text to bacterium, and disguising it with a pipe.
Why is the article even at bacterium? Surely bacteria is the vastly more common term. They are very rarely referred to in the singular.
Are there any objections to moving this page to bacteria, which is currently a redirect?
* The article is titled bacterium because the Wikipedia conventions say artciles should be singular nouns when possible. In this case, I think we're in a grey area since the plural form is much more common, but not exclusive. Jmeppley 16:41, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)
The name as it stands now is clearly wrong, since the article is really about the kingdom Bacteria - it really has nothing to do with plural vs. singular as there is no such thing as kingdom Bacterium. I am changing it. Fawcett5 19:26, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
* hmm, but the parallel article animal is also about the kingdom animalia, and its title is singular. — brighterorange (talk) 14:55, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
* I think we just have to ask ourselves "What are people going to type into a search engine"? I think "bacteria" is going to be overwhelmingly the most common word. TimVickers 15:49, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
most abundant?
The beginning of the article states that bacteria are the most 'abundant' form of life. I have no arguments that in number of individual organisms and most likely in the number of cell, bacteria are the most 'abundant', but I was under the influence that by sheer bio mass, plants are the most 'abundant' form of life. any one have any proof one was or the other? -Adenosine- 09:26, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
Bacteria are about 1/2 of living tissue by mass, and more than 100.00% by number of living organisms. Of course, we need references. The author below knows something, obviously.
* I think that this was, until quite recently, the conventional wisdom. But recent discoveries have expanded the range of conditions in which we expect to find bacteria. This includes much of the crust that was assumed to be considered uninhabited rock and superheated water. (Effectively, the biosphere is a few miles thicker than we realized, and most of that is inhabited by bacteria and archaea.) I get the impression that most people who think about these things would now agree that prokaryote biomass outweighs eukaryote biomass. But I've only seen a couple calculations and none treat archaea and bacteria differently. I also get the impression that we are constantly revising the limits of bacterial growth, but we have a pretty good grasp of where the plants are.
* But I agree that 'abundant' is open to interpretation and should maybe be replaced with something more specific and also backed with a citation. Jmeppley 18:51, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Don't forget the atmosphere and space. Perhaps I'll put 'space' as supposed for now as it is still under investigation. There is certainly bacteria that lives primarily in the atmosphere. It is possible some of those escape and continue to live in space (not propogate, they most likely lay dormant for an undisclosed amount of time (even millions\billions of years)) then under the right circumstances start to propogate and mutate once favorable conditions are encountered.
I should also point out -What a small entry for something such as Bacteria-. These things are essential to all life on earth (including the nessessary interactions inside our own bodies needed to sustain ourselves). The oxygen based bacteria had a large influence on oxygen breathing organism today (such as ourselves). If other forms of bacteria turned out to have dominated early on, our world may not have been oxygen based. Methane based bacteria did almost dominate over oxygen based bacteria.
Q: But did the bacteria help create the oxygen (in sybiosis with plants?). Where would have all the methane come from?

Bacteria census?
Approximately how many species of bacteria are known to exist in each subgroup?--StAkAr Karnak 04:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
This is difficult to answer for sure, largely because the status of bacterial taxonomy is constantly changing, including thoughts about the identities and relationships between the major groups. All in all there are approximately 8000 bacterial species formally recognized but this is a HUGE understatement of the total bacterial diveristy in existence - the problem is there is no universally accepted species concept for prokaryotes making for difficulties in classification. There are huge numbers of sub-specific strains known but almost all are not formally classified. The other problem is that most microbiologists will say that only 1% of all microbes can currently be isolated in pure culture meaning that the current picture of microbial diversity is unreliable. I've seen reviews that suggest that there are ~40 main groups of bacteria of which we can study about 20 and maybe 10 in any sort of breadth. I agree that the taxonomy of bacteria pages should be reworked (perhaps using gene trees generated using e.g. the ribosomal database project or ARB software) but this will take time and perhaps more-than-layman's expertise. As it stands now it's hard to tell what links lead to what information. Jlk3 00:16, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Bacteria are about 1/2 of living tissue on Earth by mass, and more than 100.00% by number of living organisms. Of course, we need references.
Page move to Eubacteria
Can we move this article to "Eubacteria", since technically that is what this article is about (i.e. no archea).- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 19:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
* Or at least make that clearer. Eubacteria redirects here, but I couldn't find the word in the text (it might be there, but it's certainly not salient). Note that some wikipedias have separate pages, for example fr:Bacteria and fr:Eubacteria. Rigadoun (talk) 19:03, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
The naming of Bacteria is a closed case. A citation from a book that is more than 10 years old: To avoid the perception that all prokaryotes are closely related (which they are not), the terms Bacteria and Archaea have replaced eubacteria and archaebacteria... Biology of Microorganisms 7th ed, Brock, 1994
I agree though that a short article that explains that eubacteria is an old name for Bacteria and maybe a link to Bacteria AND an article that describes the nomenclature system.--Azaroonus 12:58, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
* Yes, that would be helpful. Could we add something like this to near the top of this article as well: "The kingdom Bacteria was formerly known as Eubacteria to distinguish from Archaea, formerly known as Archaebacteria. The new names were adopted in year X to emphasize that there was no close relationship between them." (And use your book as an inline citation.) That would clarify the situation for those of us who studied biology before the names were changed, which certainly was recent enough that people are apt to run into the old nomenclature. Rigadoun (talk) 16:04, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
* Just a clarification. Are bacteria not in the kingdom "Monera"? Adenosine | Talk 19:37, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Adenosine: in the modern classification system used by biologists, Bacteria are not a part of any Kingdom but a Domain (the new name for the highest of the classification levels) unto themselves. See Scientific Classification and three-domain system. These are good srticles and up-to-date with current practise as far as I can see.
* Anonymous: I understand how a domains work, I even understand why they're around, but as a modern biologist I take offense to you telling me the are no kingdoms. I do regualarly use kingdoms, I just place domains one step higher. Plants and Animals are certainly in the same domain, and so are protists, but are we not all separated by the less than arbitrary classification of kingdom. If the domain 'Eubacteria' contains only the kingdom of 'Monera,' does the redundant classification void the kingdom specification!? If you were to read the question that I responded to, it asked about 'kingdom', even though a question on domain would have been poignent, my responding question was appropriateAdenosine | Talk 08:30, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
* Adenosine, just for reference, the anon (actually Azaroonus, you split their comment in two) was responding to your suggestion that bacteria were in protista (which you subsequently tweaked to monera). So you can perhaps see why they might be assuming you weren't a biologist. Anyway, kingdoms (at least for distinguishing life's major branches) are a bit passe, but from what I've been able to gather from WP (being, now, many years removed from my original degree) it's still a very fluid subject, with a few competing high-level systems. It does look like Kingdom Monera has had its day though - putting together bacterial groups as unrelated as the (eu)bacteria and archae, while separating groups as closely related as the eukaryotes is well past its sell-by date. Retaining the other kingdoms (much like the name "bacteria") makes sense from a practical point of view, but it does then require higher order organisation. Hence domains. Cheers, --Plumbago 08:55, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
* Well, sorry for spliting the comment (it was very unclear). The Protist slip on my part was just a stupid mistake. I did mean monera from the start, I hoped no one would catch me correcting myself. I agree with you Plumbago; you struck my point on the head, and you did it much more polietly, and concisely. As someone who is a biologist by training and profession (even if I may not seem it) I just wanted to lend my vote that if kingdoms aren't used by everyone, they are certainly used by me and people I know. WP's coverage on this is very sparse. I tried to re educate myself on this subject and I found only contradictions, ambiguities, and confusion. Hope it all gets figured out Adenosine | Talk 08:34, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
No worries!! I think it is great we share ideas and our interest in the topic, we should not bother being offended by one another :-) I, too, was guilty of imprecison in my wording because above when I said "modern classification system used by biologists" I should have written microbiologists or maybe even bacteriologists because, as you point out, many biologists (read: those that study eukaryotes) seem to use kingdoms in their classification. But this article is about Bacteria so what system do Bacteriologists prefer?
The three domain system is prefered by microbiologists because is based on molecular taxonomy, specifically 16S/18S rRNA gene comparison, while the 5 kingdom system is rooted in phenotypic characteristics. In my opinion, it is phentypic v. molecular that the major difference - the names are just related to the basis of the classifiaction system used. The reason that microbiologists, particularly microbial ecologists, prefer a molecular taxonomy system is that phenotypic classification does not work very well to classify microbial diversity. Bacteria (and Archaea for that matter) do not have the diversity of structures that even unicellular Eukarya have and therefore phenotypic classification has been based on traits like the ability to metabolise certain substrates etc. Hence for years that thought the Pseudomonas and Burkolderia were the same bug (Gram negative rod, similar physiology), only to find out that they were each in a different Phylum (Gammaproteobacteria and Betaproteobacteria, respectively). Imagine mistaking a human for a jellyfish ;-) Physiological traits in bacteria have not just been inherited vertically but also horizontally meaning that evolutionarily unrelated species can share similar traits that evolutionarily closely-related species do not. These difficulties can be overcome with molecular taxonomy... thus microbiology gained a systematic way of categorising organisms.
This system has been adopted by may eukaryotic biologists, but as far as I understand (not being a eukaryotic biologist) the phenotypic classification is so applicable to understanding eukaryotic evolution, that molecular classification is used to add sensitivity to the existing groupings, which are still strongly rooted in phenotypic classification. In Bacteriology phenotypic traits are used to add sensitivity to the evolutionary groups determined by molecular classification. For this reason, I think that molecular taxonomy and three-domain system of classification should also be the main system used in the Bacteria article. We of course need to discuss the phenotypic classification system, indeed this is still used in many labs particularly in clinical microbiology, and is still important. Ideally we need to nunt down some references to support these assertions, such that it is less POV and more NPOV if this is to get into the article itself. --Azaroonus 18:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
* All sounds great. I would love to see a standardized taxonomy system for all organisms on wikipedia, bacteria or not. You can see what Wikispecies uses []. Would this be a suitable system for bacteria & archaea AND plant, animals etc.????? Adenosine | Talk 22:25, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
This is not a simple topic and there is no uniform system. Is Wikipedia is the right place to develop a standardised nomenclature system for biology? I guess that it is a our role to figure out which systems are in use in the field and present these.
The system that you link to is the Linnaean (or 5 kingdom) system. Yes, domains are present in that table in Section 1 as a grouping above Kingdom, fine for Eukaryotes because 4 kingdoms are under Eukarya but how do you fit the Bacteria and Archaea into the Kindom Monera? It also says Domains are... ''not accepted by all biologists ''. I read this to mean that many biologists disagree that Domains are compatible with this system. The existence of the Domains is not really in question because they are a nomenclature from another valid system. Again the problem with using the system hat you suggest is that it is based on phenotype: "Kingdom: Animalia (with eukaryotic cells having cell membrane but lacking cell wall, multicellular, heterotrophic) 'from section 2 of []" Bacterial classification cannot alone rely on such phenotypic classification alone because it makes classification very difficult. Hence the molecular classification and that is three-domain. It does not make the others wrong, just not useful for microbiology. I have been looking around a bit. Bergey's Manual of Sytematic Bacteriology uses the three-domains in thier "Taxanomic Outline of Prokaryotes" the other ranks being: phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. They write "The rank of Kingdom is not used to prevent conflicts with the Botanical Code where some overlap exists" The Judicial Commission of the International Committee on Systematic Bacteriology (Meeting procedings) put out the "The International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes" which are the guidelines used by bacterial taxonomists. I am trying to read this and figure out the system that they use. --Azaroonus 09:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Rigadoun .I will take you comments on board. I can see that this is a topic that demands attention and as I am working on rewriteing the article (see above), I will be sure to put these links and explainations prominently on the page - if no one else gets there first... :-) --Azaroonus 10:55, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

> All bacteria reproduce through asexual reproduction (binary fission) which results in cell division. Two identical clone daughter cells are produced. Some bacteria, while still reproducing asexually, form more complex reproductive structures that facilitate the dispersal of the newly-formed daughter cells. Examples include fruiting body formation by Myxococcus and arial hyphae formation by Streptomyces. Whoever wrote it, it must be a joke, too many letters for a typo.
Bad definition of bacteria
"Bacteria are organisms in the kingdom Monera ... The term "bacteria" (singular: bacterium) has variously applied to all prokaryotes or to a major group of them, otherwise called the eubacteria, depending on ideas about their relationships."
The term bacteria, as it is used in science, refers to a domain under the three-domain system. The first listed definition, as indicated in the Monera article, is obsolete and should not be used as the first sentence the reader sees. - El Americano ( dímelo ) 21:33, 17 September 2006 (UTC) | WIKI |

Marco Sgarbi
Marco Sgarbi (born 14 August 1982) is an Italian philosopher and an historian of philosophy, with a special interest in the history of epistemology and logic. He is associate professor at the Ca' Foscari University of Venice. He is member of the Accademia Nazionale Virgiliana.
Biography
Marco Sgarbi was born in 1982 in Mantua, Italy, and received his Ph.D. from the Università di Verona.
He is the editor of Philosophical Readings, a four-monthly on-line journal, and of Studies and Sources in the History of Philosophy Series by Aemme Edizioni. He is also member of the editorial board of Lo Sguardo, Estudios Kantianos, philosophy@lisbon, Etica & Politica / Ethics & Politics, Rivista di letteratura religiosa italiana. He is the editor of the series Bloomsbury Studies in the Aristotelian Tradition.
He works for the promotion of women rights and their advancement in the society. He founded LEI-Center for Women's Leadership at Ca' Foscari University of Venice
Research
His work has focused on Kant, Aristotelianism, Renaissance philosophy and intellectual history. In his "Kant and Aristotle", Sgarbi follows Giorgio Tonelli's investigations and he examines the intellectual situation of Königsberg in the years of the formation of the Kantian philosophy, assuming that Königsberg with its university are the framework from which Kant actually took fundamental ideas and problems. In particular he focuses on the Aristotelian tradition, on Schulphilosophie, and on the Eclectic movement, which dominated Königsberg up to the advent of Kant's critical philosophy. In "Kant e l'irrazionale", which is also translated in Spanish, Sgarbi shows that the third Critique is neither a book on aesthetics nor on teleology, but on an hermeneutical not-conceptual logic. "Kant on Spontaneity" is the first full-length study of the problem of spontaneity in Kant. He demonstrates that spontaneity is a crucial concept in relation to every aspect of Kant's thought. He begins by reconstructing the history of the concept of spontaneity in the German Enlightenment prior to Kant and goes on to define knowing, thinking, acting and feeling as spontaneous activities of the mind that in turn determine Kant's logic, ethics and aesthetics. He shows that the notion of spontaneity is key to understanding both Kant's theoretical and practical philosophy.
In intellectual history, he proposes an original methodology based on the history of problems, in competition with the methodology of the history of ideas and Begriffsgeschichte. In his view, history of problem is 1) based on original elements of human experience; 2) always new, because the experience of problems and their solutions are always new; 3) rich, because to one problem refers to multiple ideas and conceptualities; 4) infinite, because the solutions and approaches to the problems are infinite; 5) interdisciplinary, because different sciences can solve the same problem from different points of view; 6) intercultural, because problems are common elements of the various civilizations; 7) able to open new ways to find new solutions.
In March 2014 at the Renaissance Society of America Annual Meeting in New York, Sgarbi presented his conception of Renaissance, called "Liquid Renaissance" and based on reflexive historiography. He employs “liquid” in the same way of contemporary historians and sociologist to characterize "liquid democracy" or "liquid society", that is when one or more parts of the whole constitute dynamically, voluntarily or involuntarily, the whole itself that circularly and continuously redefines the parts. He emphasizes that we cannot help seeing the past from the point of view of the present, but we should do it in a correct way, otherwise, certain aspects of the past may be overlooked or misunderstood. Renaissance should be carefully historically qualified according to time and place and should be constantly redefined according to the progress of scholarship, since what the Renaissance was or is shifts almost kaleidoscopically, establishing the existence of many Renaissances.
In his ERC project Sgarbi explored the role of logic and epistemology in Renaissance Italy, focusing Antonio Tridapale, Alessandro Piccolomini, Niccolò Massa, Sebastiano Erizzo, Sperone Speroni, Benedetto Varchi and Francesco Robortello. His research shed light on the emergence of a new conception of knowledge, on in which knowledge is above all else power. With the idea that knowledge is not only power, but a power that must be available to all, this knowledge represented a radical shift compared to previous conceptions in which knowledge was held exclusively by the universities and the clergy. It constituted an impulse towards the democratization of knowledge. Within this framework, Sgarbi argues, that logic, especially logic in the vernacular took on an entirely new role within the encyclopedia of sciences, becoming a general instrument for discovering new knowledge. His research focused on Francesco Robortello's theory of the popularization of knowledge and claims that popularization, vulgarization and translation are means for educating people, not reducing high culture to lower level.
His study on Renaissance epistemology led to a new understanding of the audience of the vernacular works, the rise of the vernacular language and Aristotelianism, the definition of what was meant by vulgarizing in the Italian Renaissance. His research shows that vernacular renderings of Aristotle's works were aims at the people, including men lacking culture or knowledge of Latin as well as princes, men of letters, women and children. Vulgarization was not just a simple matter of simplifying and trivializing knowledge, but a way to learn common people.
His research examined all the treatises that deal explicitly with the theory of vulgarization and translation in Renaissance Italy and led to the conclusion that it is impossible to state unequivocally that to vulgarize does not always mean to transpose into the vernacular, namely to translate, but can sometimes also have the broader meaning of popularizing. Hence not every translation is a vulgarization. As regards both translations and other forms of vulgarizations, it meant rendering in the vernacular for the purpose of making content more accessible. Content is never at the expense of rhetoric or the eloquence. Sgarbi calls this process "philologism of the content".
He studied the epistemology and the new conception of knowledge in the context of vernacular mechanics, physics and meteorology. At the Renaissance Society of America Annual meeting in Berlin in 2015 he showed how besides the Latin production, various Italian vernacular commentaries, expositions and translations of the Pseudo-Aristotelian Mechanical Problems were produced for very practical purposes. Works such as those of Oreste Biringucci, Antonio Guarino, Giuseppe Moletti, and Nicolò Tartaglia were addressed to engineers, architects and bombardiers. He researched on Trifon Gabriele's philosophical works on meteorology, by showing how the eclectic perspective was peculiar of the cultural contexts outside the university, as the academies, which were more open to the contamination of various philosophical traditions.
Sgarbi investigated the philosophy in Renaissance academies (Accademia degli Infiammati, Accademia fiorentina, Accademia dei Vivi), by examining authors like Nikola Vitov Gučetić, Francesco Barozzi, Alessandro Piccolomini, Benedetto Varchi, Ludovico Dolce and Sperone Speroni.
In his monograph on the immortality of the soul in Renaissance Italy, he shows how this topic usually matter of scholastic debate among university professors became common currency in vernacular writings too. These works show high eclecticism of Aristotelianism with Platonism and Hermeticism in order to save the idea of the individual immortality of the soul.
His latest research is on the epistemologies of medicine and its impact on early modern philosophy. During the conference (De)Constructing authority in early modern cosmology Sgarbi showed how the anatomical epistemological model influenced Galileo's notion of sensate esperienze. | WIKI |
We expect our iPhones to keep up with our busy lifestyles and sense of urgency. But from extended use and old age, our iPhones can slow down and leave us frustrated from less-than-stellar performance.
There are many reasons why your phone isn’t running as fast as it used to. Some are quick to blame a slowing device on a phenomenon known as “bit rot”. Bit rot happens when processors, modems, and storage modules physically age and begin to deteriorate which worsens their performance. However, if you’ve purchased your device within the past few years, the chance of bit rot slowing it down is slim to none because the device is still relatively new. Luckily, there are less complicated and easier to manage reasons for your device slowdowns.
If you’re suffering from a slow iPhone, the good news is that there are some tips and tricks you can try to bring your mobile device back up to speed. Most of these options are found in the Settings app, while another option actually requires you to take your iPhone into Apple for service. That sounds daunting, but it might be well worth your time! Follow our tips on the next slides to help you get the most out of your aging iPhone.

However, if you have push notifications set up for every app on your iPhone, it will cause your device to slow down. To alter your push notification settings, go to:
1. Settings
2. Notifications
3. Then visit each app to alter your notification type, or turn them off completely, to help reduce strain on your iPhone’s processor and battery.
Upgrade to the Latest Version of iOS
If you’re still running an older iOS version, your iPhone will definitely be slower. Newer iOS versions are optimized for speed and also deliver newer features, like the recent beta version of Battery Health.
Even iOS 12 (which will be released in the fall of this year) has proven to help speed up older iPhone models.
To see if an iOS update is available for your iPhone, go to:
1. Settings
2. General
3. Software Update
And although iOS 12 hasn’t been officially released, beta versions are available for testing. If you would like to install a beta version of iOS 12 on your device, you can find instructions on how to do it here.
Monitor Your Device’s Storage
If you have many apps, photos, videos, and text messages saved on your phone, then there’s a chance that you could max out your device’s storage, especially if you have a 16GB iPhone. And while it can be tempting to live on the edge and only clean up your storage when notified, this can actually slow down your phone.
Utilize the suggested storage cleanup options available in Settings > General > iPhone Storage. These suggestions include deleting old text messages, offloading unused applications, and other tips for increasing storage.
Clear Your Search History and Cookies
Cookies are temporary internet files that store bits of data that sites store on your device; and if they accumulate over time, they can directly impact your device’s storage and speed. This is also true of other temporary internet files like images and website features that get stored in your cache.
Simply cleaning your browsing history and cookies in Safari can do the trick to help speed up your iPhone. In order to clear your Safari search history and cookies, visit:
1. Settings
2. Safari
3. Clear History and Website Data
Turn Off Background App Refresh
Background App Refresh is a setting in iOS that automatically refreshes open applications in the background to keep your feeds and app information as current as possible.
Depending on how many applications are open (and how many are being refreshed), this could dramatically slow down your iPhone.
In order to disable Background App Refresh, toggle off the setting:
1. Settings
2. General
3. Toggle off Background App Refresh
Replace Your Battery
Your iPhone battery is limited to a certain number of charge cycles. Over time, a poor battery can slow down your iPhone. Plus, if you are guilty of some common battery busters, then your device may likely need a replacement battery.
Apple provides two battery monitoring options to help you understand whether or not you need to replace your battery.
You can check the condition of your battery (currently in beta) by visiting:
1. Settings
2. Battery
3. Battery Health
4. One here, you can view your battery’s maximum capacity. Within Battery, you can also view the apps that consume most of your battery power (represented in a percentage) over the past 24 hours or a 7 day cycle.
5. If you need a new battery, Apple offers a battery replacement program for $29.
Tip: Tap an app under Battery Usage to see how much time the app ran on screen and/or in the background.
Restore Your iPhone
Probably the most drastic of the suggestions on this list, a full restore requires you to fully and completely reinstall your iOS. Before considering or performing a restore, be sure that your device has recently been backed up. This way, you will not lose any information currently stored on your phone.
To check when your phone was last backed up, visit:
1. Settings
2. iCloud
3. iCloud Backup. Here you will see the last successful backup date.
4. You can click Back Up Now to start backing up your device to iCloud.
Opting for a full restore can help remedy a host of issues and could aid in speeding up your device as well. Learn how to restore your iPhone here.

Clinton's '3rd term' of Obama would lead to US recession, argues billionaire Wilbur Ross
Hillary Clinton's policies — including her proposal to raise taxes on the wealthiest of Americans and large corporations — would hurt the economy, said billionaire Wilbur Ross, a senior policy advisor to the Donald Trump campaign. The chairman and CEO of distressed asset specialist WL Ross & Co. told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on Election Day Tuesday: "I think the equivalent of third term Barack Obama means that we will go into a recession within the next two years." "We're already pretty long in the tooth, even though this recovery is the weakest we've had in decades and decades," he said. The stock market, which has been favoring a Clinton win, would warm to a Trump presidency, said Ross. "As soon as Trump announces his Cabinet choices, the market will feel better." He said Trump has a record of making good personal choices, citing as examples the Republican nominee's proposed list of Supreme Court picks and bringing Indiana Gov. Mike Pence on board as his vice presidential choice. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Square Deal (TV series)
Square Deal is a British sitcom created by Richard Ommanney which ran for two series between 3 September 1988 and 13 October 1989 on the ITV network. The series starring Lise-Ann McLaughlin and Tim Bentinck as Nigel and Emma Barrington, a yuppie couple whose apparently comfortable lifestyle is brusquely shaken by the arrival on the scene of Sean, an incurable and impoverished young romantic. It was produced by London Weekend Television.
Sean Hooper (Brett Fancy) is a determined dreamer who has set himself until his next birthday – eight weeks hence – to make a success of his life; he then bumps into Emma – literally, they have an accident from which he ends up in plaster – and they agree to go into business together, buying a café/sandwich bar. The enterprise will benefit from a perfect blend of their talents: her business knowledge and his acumen as a sandwich-maker – hitherto, he has been selling them to a market stall to support his career as a writer.
With Sean on the scene, Nigel and Emma's relationship rapidly deteriorates, and a love triangle emerges, first in Nigel's mind and then in reality, as Emma realises that, for all his quirks, Sean is more fun to be with than her husband. An estate agent with a cunning mind, Nigel proceeds to wreck his wife's café plans by gazumping her, and talk of a divorce is soon in the air. Later (in the second series) Sean turns his attentions to rock singing, becoming a fledgling star, while Nigel becomes Sean's landlord and develops an interest in his new neighbour, Geraldine (Georgina Melville).
Cast
* Lise-Ann McLaughlin – Emma Barrington
* Tim Bentinck – Nigel Barrington
* Brett Fancy – Sean Hooper
* Angus Barnett – Alan
* Jeremy Sinden – Max Grout
* Jo McEvoy – Sally
* Beth Porter – Hannah (series 1)
* Frank Ellis – Brian (series 2)
* Georgina Melville – Geraldine Gunter-Forbes (series 2)
* Anthony Daniels – Julian Pickford
Reception
In a positive review, James Green wrote in The Stage and Television Today, "On the casting side the best thing is the impossibly pretty Lise-Ann McLaughlin as the fore-mentioned wife. How Timothy Bentinck, as her estate-agent husband can act the lord and master in these times of femine independence is criminal. She not only looks surperb but is expected to work at the do-it-yourself chores to put a few more thousands on the home." The historian Mark Lewisohn called the show "modestly successful, if flawed". | WIKI |

3rd Division (South Sudan)
The 3rd Division (alternatively: Division 3, Lion Division, 3rd Infantry Division) is a division of the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) (later South Sudan Defense Force). It’s based in Wunyiik, Aweil East County, Northern Bahr El Ghazal, and it’s believed to be the strongest group among 9 other military divisions. Mathiang Anyoor based in Pantit, Aweil West, is part of Division 3.
While planning for the division's establishment was underway in 2005, the division was not actually established in the field until 2006.
Elements of the 3rd and 5th Divisions in Lakes and Western Bahr el Ghazal rebelled in March 2010, complaining about a lack of food and pay and prompting the Chief of General Staff to secure approval for emergency funding directly from the president. | WIKI |
Stieltjes matrix
In mathematics, particularly matrix theory, a Stieltjes matrix, named after Thomas Joannes Stieltjes, is a real symmetric positive definite matrix with nonpositive off-diagonal entries. A Stieltjes matrix is necessarily an M-matrix. Every n×n Stieltjes matrix is invertible to a nonsingular symmetric nonnegative matrix, though the converse of this statement is not true in general for n > 2.
From the above definition, a Stieltjes matrix is a symmetric invertible Z-matrix whose eigenvalues have positive real parts. As it is a Z-matrix, its off-diagonal entries are less than or equal to zero. | WIKI |

Pros: Compared to eating a traditional diet, switching to a low-carb diet can significantly reduce body fat, studies show. Cap your carb intake at 20% of daily calories and the weight-loss results are even stronger—plus, you can reduce your risk for heart disease and stroke. Some research suggests low-carb diets are even better than low-fat diets: One study in Annals of Internal Medicine found that people who limited their carbs lost eight more pounds than those who cut back on fat. If you cut back on carbs enough, your body learns to burn fat as fuel instead. Studies are mixed on how low-carb diets affect performance, but some evidence suggests that endurance performance can actually improve among people whose bodies adapt to fat-burning fairly easily.
Stock up: Jet.com's new City Grocery service (available in select markets) makes it easy to ensure you always have keto-friendly veggies in the fridge. We love their delivery scheduling tool; simply fill your cart, then decide which day and timeframe you'd like your groceries delivered. One of our faves: Urban Roots Green Squash Veggie Noodles are great for whipping up low-carb "pasta" dishes.
In summary, the LCKD had positive effects on body weight, waist measurement, serum triglycerides, and glycemic control in a cohort of 21 participants with type 2 diabetes. Most impressive is that improvement in hemoglobin A1c was observed despite a small sample size and short duration of follow-up, and this improvement in glycemic control occurred while diabetes medications were reduced substantially in many participants. Future research must further examine the optimal medication adjustments, particularly for diabetes and diuretic agents, in order to avoid possible complications of hypoglycemia and dehydration. Because the LCKD can be very effective at lowering blood glucose, patients on diabetes medication who use this diet should be under close medical supervision or capable of adjusting their medication.
Stephen Colbert may be on to something. UCLA Center for Human Nutrition researchers divided study participants into two groups, each of which were fed a nearly identical low-cal diet for 12-weeks. The only difference between the groups was what they were given to eat as an afternoon snack. One group ate 220-calories of pretzels while the other group munched on 240-calories worth of pistachios. Just four weeks into the study, the pistachio group had reduced their BMI by a point, while the pretzel-eating group stayed the same, and their cholesterol and triglyceride levels showed improvements as well.
When in the hospital, glucose levels are checked several times daily and the patient is monitored for signs of symptomatic ketosis (which can be treated with a small quantity of orange juice). Lack of energy and lethargy are common but disappear within two weeks.[17] The parents attend classes over the first three full days, which cover nutrition, managing the diet, preparing meals, avoiding sugar and handling illness.[18] The level of parental education and commitment required is higher than with medication.[43]
Yes, they're technically a fruit, but we think olives deserve a shout-out all of their own, since they're also a great source of healthy fats and are one of a few keto-approved packaged foods. Plus, they're a great source of antioxidants, will satisfy your craving for something salty, and are blissfully low-carb. “About a palm's worth only has 3 grams of net carbs,” Sarah Jadin, RD, told Health in a previous interview.
Many equate healthy eating, particularly lower-sodium eating such as DASH, with the idea that all meals have to be cooked from scratch. This is overwhelming for many (myself included), but there are plenty of tricks and tips to help you. First, understand that “whole foods” doesn’t exclusively mean fresh produce. Take advantage of time-saving, minimally processed foods like unseasoned frozen vegetables and no-salt-added canned veggies.
The fad military diet consists of low-calorie, odd food pairings such as bun-less hot dogs with banana, carrots, and broccoli. “Any diet like the military diet that severely limits the amount of calories you consume or eliminates one or more entire food groups puts any individual at risk for nutrient deficiencies,” says Kyle. “This can be more harmful than holding onto those 10 extra lb you’re trying to lose.” (32)
When it comes to condiments, mustard is about as healthy and low cal as it gets, and the pungent yellow stuff that contains about 5 calories per teaspoon has also been found to stimulate weight loss. Scientists at England’s Oxford Polytechnic Institute found that eating just one teaspoon of mustard can boost the metabolism by up to 25 percent for several hours after it’s been consumed. Researchers attribute this to capsaicin and allyl isothiocyanates, phytochemicals that give the mustard its characteristic flavor. So instead of reaching for the sickeningly sweet ketchup, make sure you have mustard on hand at your next BBQ.
We have all heard of essential fatty acids (EFAs) and essential amino acids (EAAs), but have you ever heard of essential carbohydrates? No. The human body is capable of burning fat for fuel. If the body can burn fat for fuel, why would you ingest a substance (carbohydrate) that raises your blood sugar, raises your insulin levels, and makes you sick? Why would the ADA advocate the very diet that made us sick in the first place? When are they going to admit they’ve been wrong and start doing what is in the best interest of diabetics?
The focus of the DASH Diet is more about what you can eat, rather than cutting foods out, like many trendy diets do these days, such as Whole30 and the ketogenic diet, which call to eliminate certain food groups altogether. The basic idea is to load up on fruits and veggies, choose whole grains over refined, include calcium-rich dairy items, and eat modest amounts of lean meat and fish. By including plenty of healthy whole foods each day, you naturally eliminate some of the not-so-great foods (like added sugars and unhealthy fats). With this week's meal plan, we make it even easier to follow the DASH Diet with 7 days of healthy and delicious meals and snacks.
There are many ways to do intermittent fasting — ranging from fasting for a number of hours each day up to an entire 24-hour fasting period one or two times a week. “If you're trying to kick a habit like eating late into the night, then stopping eating earlier in the evening and fasting overnight could be beneficial for you,” says Hultin. “There are many types of intermittent fasting, so ensuring you pick one that works for you and your lifestyle is important.”
If not managed correctly, high blood sugar in diabetics can damage blood vessels and lead to a variety of illnesses. Unmanaged diabetes doubles the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery diseases and stroke. [3, 4] Diabetes can damage small vessels in the eyes, kidneys, and nerves and lead to complications such as blindness and kidney disease. [4]
Keto breath, on the other hand, is less of a side-effect and more of a harmless inconvenience (your breath literally smells like nail polish remover). Basically, when your body breaks down all that extra fat on the keto diet, it produces ketones—one of which is the chemical acetone, Keatley previously told WomensHealthMag.com. (Yes, the same stuff that's in nail polish remover.)
Below is a quick graphic of a meal plan on the traditional Mediterranean diet, it is the same meal plan that I also follow. Under the graphic you can find details, tips and links to the recipes. I provide a variety of choices for meals that you can mix and match with links to the recipes. For more ideas just head over to the Recipe Index and you will find a large selection of Mediterranean recipes.
“Unlike many popular diets, there’s really not a huge focus on eliminating starches,” Srinath says. “What most studies have found is that dieting is really about sustainability—so the people who lose the most weight are those who are able to maintain a diet and keep up with it," she says. "A big issue with a lot of the low-carb diets out there is that it’s really, really hard to limit carbs completely. That’s why I think DASH is more palatable to people." Yaaas, carbs!
Slice a 6-inch French baguette roll (3-inch diameter) in half lengthwise. Sprinkle the halves with 1/3 cup 33% reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese and bake in toaster oven at 250 degrees for four to six minutes, until cheese is just beginning to melt. Meanwhile, slice two large red tomatoes in 1/2-inch slices. Remove baguette from toaster oven, sprinkle with a little dried basil and dried oregano if desired. Top with tomato slices. For dessert, serve one frozen strawberry milk Popsicle left over from Monday's dinner (8 ounces fat-free milk mixed with 1 tablespoon strawberry drink mix, then frozen).
This diet plan focuses on foods that are sources of protein and fat, which will help to keep you feeling full which may help you eat less overall. However, the keto diet is not a license to eat as much bacon and cheese as you want. It is even more critical to make good choices while on this diet because following a strict keto diet could result in vitamin and mineral deficiencies. And while the diet does eliminate many processed and ‘junk’ foods, it also limits many fruits, vegetables, and other important fiber-rich carbohydrate foods, which provide many health benefits.
The nerve impulse is characterised by a great influx of sodium ions through channels in the neuron's cell membrane followed by an efflux of potassium ions through other channels. The neuron is unable to fire again for a short time (known as the refractory period), which is mediated by another potassium channel. The flow through these ion channels is governed by a "gate" which is opened by either a voltage change or a chemical messenger known as a ligand (such as a neurotransmitter). These channels are another target for anticonvulsant drugs.[7]
One study, published in the journal Nutrition & Metabolism, found a group of 28 people with type 2 diabetes overall lost about 6 percent of their body weight and lowered their blood glucose levels when they followed a keto diet for 16 weeks. The authors recommended individuals on this diet who have diabetes be under close medical supervision, and noted more research is needed on the diet’s long-term effects because the study was small and short term.
If you’re looking to get a jump start on your health and fitness goals this year, you may be thinking about trying the ketogenic diet. Maybe you’ve heard the phrase before — it’s a huge diet buzzword — but aren’t sure what it means. Here’s a primer: The ketogenic diet is an eating plan that drives your body into ketosis, a state where the body uses fat as a primary fuel source (instead of carbohydrates), says Stacey Mattinson, RDN, who is based in Austin, Texas.

A Reborn Museum in Berkeley Offers Form as an Essential Fact of Existence
Art Review BERKELEY, Calif. — The Bay Area has defied some heavy odds by opening two outstanding, transformative museum structures in less than four months. Most recent and prominent is the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s large, stunning addition to its 1995 Mario Botta building: an innovative Snohetta design that expands the gallery space to 170,000 square feet, from 70,000. But earlier, at the end of January, the Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive unveiled an equally inspired if much smaller home, in a Deco-style former printing plant enlarged and redesigned by Diller Scofidio & Renfro, the architects behind the Broad in Los Angeles, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, the current expansion of New York’s Museum of Modern Art and the High Line park in Chelsea. Both of these Bay Area projects represent a new ease with museums’ increasingly complex roles as social and educational entities that accommodate a full range of artistic disciplines. They also share two user-friendly touches that should become museum trends: elevator doors printed with floor directories and an amphitheater, or Roman steps, located invitingly near the entrance. While the San Francisco Museum’s steps are of pale, finely textured maple, Berkeley’s are of relatively loud, brightly knotty Canary Island Pine designed and fabricated by the wood joinery master craftsman Paul Discoe from seven trees removed to make way for the expansion. These steps allow close examination of Qiu Zhijie’s 24-by-63-foot mural “The World Garden,” an eye-catching expanse of detail and graphic energy that reimagines the world primarily as a Chinese garden. The mural inaugurates a biannual series of commissions planned for the wall and, for the moment, is prelude to “Architecture of Life,” the visionary inaugural exhibition (through Sunday), which uses the museum’s entire 25,000 square feet of gallery space. The show has been organized by Lawrence Rinder, a curator at Berkeley from 1988 to 1998, who returned as its director in 2008. The born-again Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive is very much his achievement. And the show, which combines art and artifacts from different cultures and several varieties of old and new scientific research, seems to represent Mr. Rinder’s years of looking, thinking and connecting. Snohetta made the best of the San Francisco Museum’s stiff Botta building by largely overwhelming it. Diller Scofidio & Renfrow started from a structure with much better bones: a large single-story factory shed with vaulting ceilings and saw-tooth skylights — perfect gallery material — attached to a slightly taller three-story administrative building, both made of cast concrete newly painted gleaming white. Expanding downward, the architects excavated beneath the factory space, made possible those Roman steps and created a lower level that feels surprisingly light and capacious. It holds more galleries, an art-class area and three study centers. Above ground they capitalized on the right angle formed by the meeting of the factory and the administrative wing, adding a playful elegant element that remains sculpturally distinct while locking everything together. The addition, clad in Airstream-like stainless steel, seems essentially folded and draped across the existing buildings. The narrow portion atop the factory houses a cafe with views of the galleries and Roman steps; it extends over the museum’s front entrance, creating a boxy canopy. To the rear of the building, the cladding fans outward, sheathing a much larger ground-floor space, which contains the main theater of the Pacific Film Archive. Fittingly, it culminates in a giant outdoor digital screen facing the street that resembles a television set of late 1980s vintage. While the addition can initially look awkward, as if a big flat spaceship had alighted on the building, it promises to wear well, because the interior spaces are varied and unfold with logic and surprises. This may be Scofidio, Diller & Renfro’s best museum design and possibly cause for optimism about its work on the Museum of Modern Art, although the bones it is working with there are not so good. “Architecture of Life” is not your father’s theme show in that its organizational principle is not a literary conceit but a visual phenomenon: It centers on form as an essential fact of existence, inherent in all human activities, throughout nature, explored by scientists, pursued by painters and composers. At a moment when form receives short shrift from younger artists, it plays out here in architectural models and plans, and in works by artists familiar and not. Here are Wilson Bentley’s photographs of snowflakes from the 1920s; Ernst Haeckel’s drawings of oceanic protozoa (from around 1860) and Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s lacy ink drawings of gray matter in the cerebral cortex, from the turn of the 20th century. And there are several spectacular examples of real lace, mostly from 16th- and 17th-century Italy, lent by the Lacis Museum of Lace and Textiles in Berkeley. Mr. Rinder has cashed in chips far and wide. The show includes several Pomo baskets from the university’s museum of anthropology and turned-wood bowls by Bob Stockdale from the Oakland Museum of California, along with the improvisational quilts of Rosie Lee Tompkins (1936-2006), from Oakland, one of this country’s least-known great artists. European loans include Johannes Itten’s abstract painting “Encounter” (1916), which depicts the color spectrum as a spiral, and Gustav Caillebotte’s 1876 Impressionist masterpiece “Pont de l’Europe,” depicting a massive bridge in Paris. Everything mirrors and enhances everything else in this superb show. Between the Berkeley museum’s new home and its inspired initial use of its galleries, its future looks very bright. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

A question on referring functions in macros
Currently I write macros with .cljc files:
(defmacro m1 [x]
`(f1 ~x))
f1 is a function from n1.core/f1.
Then in n2.core, I use that macro m1. What will happen?
1. nothing should happen, it’s correct
2. compiler should throw an error, “f1 not declared”
3. compiler should be find, but it throw exceptions in runtime like f1 undefined
4. as long as n1.core is referred, it will be ok
5. or else?
You should really just test this out, questions like these are quite easy to test at a repl. E.g. what happens if you evaluate
(let [x 5] `(f1 x))
or
(macroexpand-1 '(m1 5))
But to answer your question, backquotes automatically expand symbols to be fully namespace qualified,
`f1
is the same as
'n1.core/f1
In other words, option 4), your macro will work fine, as long as f1 is defined or referred in the same namespace as m1
Yes, I did. But my code was a mess, I haven’t managed to finish a minimal example yet. I tried it in REPL actually, but as I compiled my code and see errors for so many times, I became uncertain.
my code is a mess anyway… https://github.com/Respo/respo/commit/275a24fb66a86bc8e15889a1a9aa9fad12c9f1ec
I’m guessing it may be based on implementation. I will try shadow-cljs later.
Finished my demo in shadow-cljs, https://github.com/minimal-xyz/minimal-cljs-macro/blob/93be7d55773d61f1cda9783f37b0f26e23e1dfe1/src/server/main.cljs#L4-L6
Like told by @plexus , need that thing in the same namespace.
(ns server.main
(:require-macros [server.macros :refer [some-macro]])
(:require [server.foo]))
; server.foo is required... or compiler will warn
(defn main! []
(some-macro "Hello!"))
I remembered in my previous demos, it was more complicated because I got exceptions even with (:require [server.foo]). I have to write (:require [server.foo :refer [bar]]) to make it work. Strange. Maybe fake memory… | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
There are scientific knowledge and phenomena that bring to the everyday life of our lives a mystery and a riddle. Mobius tape refers to them in full. Modern mathematics describes remarkably with the help of formulas all its properties and features. But ordinary people, poorly versed in toponymy and other geometric meanings, almost daily encounter objects made in its image and likeness, even without realizing it.
What it is?
The Mobius band, also called a loop, surface, or sheet, is the object of studying a mathematical discipline such as a topology that examines the general properties of figures that persist under continuous transformations such as twisting, stretching, squeezing, bending, and other unrelated integrity . The surprising and unique feature of such a tape is that it has only one side and edge and is in no way connected with its location in space. The Mobius strip is a topological, that is, a continuous object with the simplest one-sided surface with a boundary in ordinary Euclidean space (3-dimensional), where it is possible from one point of such surface, without crossing the edges, to get into any other.
Who and when did it open?
Such a complex object, like the Mobius tape, was and is quite unusual. First of all, we note that two mathematicians, absolutely unrelated to each other in research, discovered it simultaneously - in 1858. Another interesting fact is that both these scientists at different times were pupils of the same great mathematician - Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss. So, until 1858 it was believed that any surface must have two sides. However, Johann Benedict Listing and Augustus Ferdinand Moebius discovered a geometric object that had only one side and described its properties. The tape was named in honor of Moebius, but the founding father of "rubber geometry" topologists believe Listing and his work "Preliminary research on topology."
The following properties are inherent to the Moebius tape: they do not change when it is squeezed, cut along or crumpled:
1. The presence of one side. A. Mobius in his work "On the volume of polyhedra" described a geometric surface, named after him in his honor, which has only one side. Check it is quite simple: take a tape or a sheet of Moebius and try to paint the inside with one color, and the outer one with the other. It is not important, in which place and direction the painting was started, the whole figure will be shaded with one color.
2. Continuity is expressed in the fact that any point of this geometric figure can be connected to any other of its points without crossing the boundary of the Möbius surface.
3. Connectivity, or two-dimensionality, consists in the fact that when cutting a tape along, it will not produce several different figures, and it remains intact.
4. It lacks such an important property as orientation. This means that the person walking along this figure will return to the beginning of his journey, but only in the mirror image of himself. Thus, the endless ribbon of Moebius can lead to an eternal journey.
5. A special chromatic number showing how many possible areas on the Möbius surface can be created so that either of them has a common boundary with all the others. Moebius tape has a chromatic number - 6, but a ring of paper - 5.
Scientific use
Today, the Möbius sheet and its properties are widely used in science, serving as a basis for constructing new hypotheses and theories, conducting research and experiments, creating new mechanisms and devices.
So, there is a hypothesis that the Universe is Mobius's huge loop. Indirectly, this is evidenced by the theory of relativity of Einstein, according to which even a ship that has flown directly can return to the same time and space point, whence it started.
Another theory considers DNA as part of the Moebius surface, which explains the difficulty in reading and deciphering the genetic code. Among other things, such a structure provides a logical explanation for biological death - a self-contained spiral leads to self-destruction of the object.
According to physicists, many optical laws are based on the properties of the Moebius sheet. So, for example, mirror reflection is a special transfer in time and a person sees before himself his mirror double.
Implementation in practice
In various industries, the Möbius band has been used for a long time. The great inventor Nikola Tesla at the beginning of the century invented a Möbius resistor, consisting of two conductive surfaces twisted at 180 degrees, which can withstand the flow of electric current without the creation of electromagnetic interference.
Based on studies of the surface of the Möbius band and its properties, many devices and instruments have been created. Its shape is repeated when creating a band of belt conveyor and ink ribbon in printing devices, abrasive belts for sharpening tools and automatic transmission. This makes it possible to significantly increase their service life, since wear occurs more evenly.
Not so long ago, the amazing features of the Moebius leaf allowed the creation of a spring, which, unlike the usual ones that operate in the opposite direction, does not change the direction of operation. It is used in the steering wheel steering stabilizer, ensuring the steering wheel returns to its original position.
In addition, the Mobius ribbon sign is used in a variety of trademarks and logos. The most famous of them is the international symbol of secondary processing. It is placed on packages of goods either suitable for subsequent processing, or made from recycled resources.
Source of creative inspiration
Moebius tape and its properties formed the basis for the work of many artists, writers, sculptors and filmmakers. The most famous artist, who used in such works as "Mobius II Tape (Red Ants)", "Horsemen" and "Knots", ribbon and its features - Maurits Cornelis Escher.
Möbius sheets, or, as they are also called, surfaces of minimal energy, have become a source of inspiration for mathematical artists and sculptors, for example, Brent Collins or Max Bill. The most famous monument to the Mobius Ribbon is set at the entrance to the Washington Museum of History and Technology.
Russian artists also did not stay away from this topic and created their own works. Sculptures "Mobius tape" are installed in Moscow and Yekaterinburg.
Literature and topology
The unusual properties of Möbius surfaces inspired many writers to create fantastic and surrealistic works. The Möbius loop plays an important role in R. Zelyazny's novel "Doors in the Sand" and serves as a means of moving through space and time for the main character of the novel "Necroscope" B. Lumley.
She also depicts in the stories "The Wall of Darkness" by Arthur Clarke, "On the Moebius Band" by M. Clifton and "List Moebius" by AJ Deutsch. Based on the latter's motives, Gustavo Mosquera was shot by a fantastic film called Mobius.
We do it ourselves, with our own hands!
If you are interested in the Mobius tape, how to make its model, you will be prompted by a small instruction:
1. To make her model, you will need:
- a sheet of plain paper;
2. Cut the strip from the sheet of paper so that its width is 5-6 times smaller than the length.
3. The resulting strip of paper is laid out on a flat surface. One end is held by hand, and the other is rotated by 180 ° so that the strip is twisted and the infernal becomes the face.
4. Bond the ends of the twisted strip as shown in the picture. Mobius tape is ready.
5. Take a pen or marker and in the middle of the tape, start drawing the track. If you did everything correctly, then return to the same point where you started drawing the line.
In order to get a visual confirmation of the fact that the Möbius tape is a one-sided object, try using a pencil or a pen to paint some of its side. After a while you will see that you have painted it completely.

Year-round passive acoustic data reveal spatio-temporal patterns in marine mammal community composition in the Weddell Sea, Antarctica
I. Van Opzeeland*, H. Hillebrand
*Corresponding author:
ABSTRACT: To date, the majority of studies investigating marine mammal distribution and behavior take a single-species perspective, which is often driven by the logistic difficulties of collecting appropriate data at sea. Passive acoustic monitoring, provided recording tools exhibit sufficient bandwidth, has the potential to provide insights into community structure as devices operate autonomously simultaneously collecting data on baleen, pinniped and toothed whale acoustic presence. Data can provide information on local species diversity, residency times and co-occurrence. Here we use multi-year passive acoustic data from 6 sites in the Weddell Sea, Southern Ocean, to explore how local marine mammal community compositions develop over time and in relation to sea-ice. Diversity peaked in austral late spring and early summer shortly before seasonal sea-ice break-up. The effective number of species exhibited little variation over time, reflecting that species remain in Antarctic waters throughout austral winter. Community composition showed almost complete seasonal overturn, recognizing that species replace each other throughout the year. For all 6 sites, community dissimilarity increased with increasing temporal distance reflecting temporal trends in community composition beyond seasonality. Several species exhibited significant positive or negative co-occurrence patterns over time. These seasonal associations were consistent across and between all five oceanic sites, but partly inversed at the Western Antarctic Peninsula recording site. This study shows that the application of biodiversity metrics to PAM data can foster insights to the timing of behaviors and community composition, which can boost the interpretation of responses in the light of ongoing environmental changes. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Minissima
The Minissima is a small concept city car that was designed by William Towns (as the Townscar) as his idea for a replacement for the original Mini in 1972. It was displayed by British Leyland on their stand at the 1973 London Motor Show after they bought the prototype from Towns.
In common with the early Mini, it was designed around its initial 10" wheels and the BMC A-Series engine. It is 30" (75 cm) shorter than the Mini and designed to park end-on to the curb (like the Smart Fortwo), having only one door - at the rear. It has four seats, two at the front, front facing, and two facing inwards at the rear.
The Minissina design re-emerged a few years later as a prototype car for the disabled, adapted by engineering firm GKN Sankey by ex Ford engineer Fred Hart. During the engineering process, the layout changed to feature a central driving position in which a wheelchair user would enter through the back door using a fold-down rear ramp, and drive off. The styling was simplified by William Towns to suit mass production and won a Design Council award in 1978, it did not gain government support due to high costs and the project was cancelled.
GKN sold the rights to British bicycle manufacturer Elswick, and a small number were manufactured from 1981 to 1987 and were sold as the Elswick Envoy. In 2007, an Elswick Envoy was the subject of a 24-minute short film, Elegy for the Elswick Envoy, which shared the prize for best documentary in the 2008 Aspen Shortsfest film festival. | WIKI |

Do not put your userpage or subpages, including work-in-progress articles, into categories used by Wikipedia articles (example: Category:1990 births). Be careful of templates and stub notices that put a work-in-progress article into categories. You can "quote" categories by adding a colon before "Category", like this: Category:Bridges. This turns it into an ordinary link. Templates and stub notices can be turned into links to themselves by putting tl| ("tl" followed by a pipe character) in front of their names, like this: stub You can also "comment out" a portion of text by placing in front of it and after it; this makes the parser ignore that portion of the page.

love with her then and I have been in love with her ever since. I told you so then, and you stopped me off, but you gave me leave to make another appeal to you in the future. I make it now—this is the only way I have—and I think you ought to listen to it. Five years have passed, and I love her more than ever. I have behaved like a saint in the interval: I haven't attempted to practise upon her without your knowledge.'
'I am so glad; but she would have let me know,' said Cousin Maria, looking round the conservatory as if to see if the plants were all there.
'No doubt. I don't know what you do to her. But I trust that to-day your opposition falls—in face of the proof that we have given you of mutual fidelity.'
'Fidelity?' Cousin Maria repeated, smiling.
'Surely—unless you mean to imply that Dora has given me up. I have reason to believe that she hasn't.'
'I think she will like better to remain just as she is.'
'Just as she is?'
'I mean, not to make a choice,' Cousin Maria went on, smiling.
Raymond hesitated a moment. 'Do you mean that you have tried to make her make one?'
At this the good lady broke into a laugh. 'My dear Raymond, how little you must think I know my child!'

A Novel SUMO-like Gene for Type 1 Diabetes Susceptibility
Description:
Current State of the Art:
Type 1 diabetes is an organ-specific autoimmune disease with aberrant immune responses to specific β-cell autoantigens. Prevention is important because diabetes interrupts normal development in children and carries the threat of severe complications in the most active period of life. Both environmental and genetic factors play etiological roles. The most informative genetic locus, HLA class II, confers about half of the total genetic risk, but has low positive predictive value when used alone in the general population1. Autoantibodies provide a practical readout of β-cell autoimmunity, are easily sampled in venous blood, and have become a mainstay of type 1 diabetes prediction efforts.
Disadvantages with the Current Art:
Autoantibodies are useful to detect developing type 1 diabetes in close relatives of diabetic patients, whose risk is 3%. However, most cases are sporadic rather than familial, necessitating general population screening. This has been difficult in part because the observed autoantibody prevalence greatly exceeds the low disease prevalence in nonrelatives leading to high false-positive rates. As stated previously, the most informative genetic locus, HLA class II, confers about half of the total genetic risk, but has low positive predictive value when used alone in the general population.
Advantages of the Invention:
Through a genetic study of 944 multi-ethnic diabetes families, the inventors have narrowed the human IDDM5 locus to a 180kb of genomic DNA on chromosome 6q25. The inventors have cloned and characterized a novel gene named SUMO4, which showed strong homologies to the SUMO gene family. SUMO4 confers susceptibility to human type 1 diabetes. This is an improvement on current methods; the addition of the SUMO4 gene as a predictor of type 1 diabetes risk to HLA genes enhances prediction risk because there is one more gene, SUMO4, added to the group of existing predictive genes such as HLA.

Benefits of Positional Five-Axis Machining
Why rely on five-axis machining and where can it be applied; strategies and considerations for five-axis machining; and, cutter path optimization.
Related Suppliers
Some of the significant benefits to employing five-axis machining strategies in mold machining include reduced machining time, less hand finishing and improved surface finish. On the business side, there is improved mold quality, reduced lead-times, and much fewer setup errors—all of which lead to greater profitability.
Five-axis machining has been used in aerospace applications for many years, but it is only recently that the toolmaking industry has shown similar interest. The main advantage of five-axis machining is the ability to save time by machining complex shapes in a single setup. An additional benefit comes from allowing the use of shorter cutters that permit more accurate machining.

Positional five-axis machining (also called 3+2) has long been available within some CAM software. With this technique, the machining fourth and fifth axis is oriented into rotational position and machining is carried out as a set of three-axis operations.
In addition to this, some CAM software offers continuous five-axis machining, which allows the user to create continuous five-axis toolpaths across complex surfaces, solids and triangulated models. The toolpaths are fully gouge-checked and support a wide range of machining strategies and all tool types.
Benefits
Benefits to positional five-axis machining include the effective use of shorter cutters and less tool overhang, faster cutting, longer tool life, improved machining accuracy and better surface finish simply by creating a series of orientation workplanes. Also, fewer setups are required with five-axis machining—resulting in time savings, fewer setting errors and much increased machine utilization.
Programming in five-axis is not as difficult as it may sound. Look for simple programming methods that are available through some CAM software. These packages allow high-speed machining techniques to be employed cost-effectively.
Experienced users can set up templates—saving time and errors on future programs—and full process simulation on the computer prevents mistakes on the shop floor. When moving to five-axis machining users may need to adjust fixturing and workholding strategies to permit access to the maximum number of part features possible in a five-axis setup. Standard workholding devices generally do not allow for clear access to multiple sides of the workpiece. Specialized five-axis fixtures, chucking mechanisms and magnetic workholding provide freer access to the component being machined.
Benefits to continuous five-axis machining include elimination of blend lines and the ability to continuously maintain proper cutting tool to surface orientation, resulting in better surface finishes and improved tool life. Fewer cutter passes, reduced cycle time and single setup all contribute to time savings, fewer setting errors and better access to undercuts.
Benefits to five-axis machining also generally include the efficiency of having just one machine for three-axis HSM, positional five-axis, continuous five-axis, five-axis drilling, and more. These machines also typically provide faster axes travel and spindle rpm. Plus, five-axis machines are becoming smaller and more rigid, further improving the results.
While these factors are developing, it is true that some may find that the cost of a five-axis process steep. This is often caused by a lack of understanding of the applications for five-axis in a particular market. Once a shop is able to fully understand where the benefits can be achieved, this argument often disappears. It also must be remembered that technology behind high-speed and five-axis machining continues to improve and open up more applications to these approaches. While these advances in technology can appear at first to be more expensive, the benefits in tool life, efficiency and operating cost more than offset these initial costs.
Strategies
Applications for five-axis machining include rib machining, corner picking, deep cavity or core machining, shallow draft surfaces and similar operations. Five-axis machining also allows more efficient orientation of ball end mills to work surface. Slot machining, undercuts, steep walls and five-axis drilling all are opportunities to use five-axis machining to your advantage.
A wide range of strategies for improving your process with five-axis techniques include through a curve, through a point, profiling, automatic calculation of tool position, gouge and collision checking on all toolpaths. Some CAM software also supports a full range of cutter designs.
Other roughing strategies include from a point, meaning that the tool is aligned so the axis passes through a specific point with the cutting end pointing away. Toward a line function aligns the tool so that the axis passes through a specified line with the cutting end pointing toward the line. Both allow access to areas unable to be reached with three-axis machining or to give better cutting conditions.
Drive surface five-axis means that the projection direction and tool orientation is determined by the drive surface. This feature acknowledges a single drive surface, but a multi-surface part, and assures full gouge protection. One common problem with five-axis toolpaths is that a tool may appear to wobble as it is kept normal to a surface being machined, which can result in poor surface finish. The ability to use a simplified reference surface solves this problem by eliminating this effect.
Swarf machining is a technique that allows side cutting with an endmill while proceeding along the surface of a part, such as the sidewalls of a tapered rib. A similar toolpath also may be generated from surfaces according to a set of wireframe references. All tool types including tapered tools may be used for swarf machining.
Wireframe swarf machining benefits include improved results over surface swarf machining in some cases. It is suitable where internal surface structure is poor, or where edge matching is not perfect.
Five-axis through-curve machining means that the tool position is controlled by a single curve, ensuring full control over toolpath movement. Benefits to this approach include elimination of potential machine tool collisions and improved surface finish due to greater control of machine tool kinematics.
Totally integrated toolpath verification provides a means of thorough gouge and collision checking. Verification and simulation of machine motion detects and displays potential collisions, axial movements and permits manual jogging in any axis to adjust motions. Again, select CAM software provides automatic collision avoidance, thus preventing costly crashes.
Cutter Path Optimization
CAM software also may provide the user a way to optimize cutter paths. Rainbow shading highlights machining sequences and colors are changed to indicate axis reversals. Predictive visualization takes into account cutter geometry, speeds and feeds. With new CAM features that analyzes cusps, a user can see a realistic representation of the cutter progress and effect, accurately showing the impact of feed and speed on the part surface and allows surface finish values to be predicted before actual machining.
Point redistribution offers a way to reduce machining time. In a recent ex-ample, a five-axis machining center with a 7500mm/min feedrate was able to achieve a 39 percent faster cycle time due to point redistribution compared to stan-dard toleranced data. Point redistribution allows the programmer to manipulate the smoothness of the toolpath as well as the distribution of points on that toolpath to achieve these results.
Conclusion
Five-axis machining programmed with the right CAM software offers users a practical strategy for reducing cycle times, fewer setups, improved surface finish and machining results, and extended tool life that are impossible with traditional three-axis machining.

Boston Red Sox - PlayerWatch
RHP Williams Cuevas was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket following Saturday’s 5-2 win. Cuevas was called up Thursday for his third stint with the Red Sox. C Sandy Leon recorded a career-high four RBIs Saturday, highlighting the most productive showing of his 95-game career with a massive three-run home run off LHP CC Sabathia. “It was a great swing off the bat,” Red Sox center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. said. Bradley watched the ball sail out from third base. “It sounded good. It looked good and I’m glad Sandy hit it.” Leon is hitting .458 (27-for-59) and has reached safely in 16 of the 20 games he has played this season. LHP David Price can become the first Red Sox pitcher to get at least 10 strikeouts and allow only one walk in four straight starts Sunday night. Price has struck out 30 and issued three walks in his last 22 1/3 innings during his last three outings. Before Price, only RHP Pedro Martinez (Aug. 1999) and LHP Rich Hill had struck out at least 10 and walked one or less in three straight starts. Price is 14-8 with a 4.34 ERA in 33 outings against the New York Yankees and 8-3 with a 3.64 ERA in 17 appearances in New York. RHP Clay Buchholz has a 2.89 ERA in six relief appearances and Red Sox manager John Farrell said he will be a multi-inning reliever for the time being. Farrell said he spoke with Buchholz on Friday about his role. Buchholz was originally removed from the rotation in late-May and returned to the rotation three weeks ago but has allowed 10 earned runs in 14 2/3 innings. He has not pitched since working the first 4 1/3 innings of a 21-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on July 2 and due to that inactivity, Farrell said it is possible Buchholz could throw a simulated game during the team’s off days next week. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Powelton Village, Philadelphia
Powelton Village is a neighborhood of mostly Victorian, mostly twin homes in the West Philadelphia section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a national historic district that is part of University City. Powelton Village extends north from Market Street to Spring Garden Street, east to 32nd Street, west to 40th and Spring Garden Streets, and to 44th and Market Streets.
History
Powelton Village takes its name from the Powel Family, 17th and 18th century Welsh colonialists who held extensive estates in the area. Samuel Powel served as mayor of Philadelphia from 1775 to 1776 and again from 1789 to 1790. As in other parts of West Philadelphia, in the late 1800s trolley lines opened the area up to urbanization. Powelton soon became a choice residential spot for Philadelphia industrial tycoons.
Powelton's luster began to wane by the 1920s, and by the 1940s the neighborhood was populated by low-income families. In the 1960s the Village was home to many members of the counterculture movement, and Powelton today enjoys a strong political activism and anarchist tradition, as well as a healthy multiethnic pluralism.
In addition to the Powelton Historic District, the Bell Telephone Exchange Building, The Powelton, Frederick A. Poth Houses, and John Shedwick Development Houses are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Neighborhood
Commercial activity in Powelton Village is concentrated on Lancaster Avenue between 35th and 39th St. Years ago, a developer called this portion of Lancaster Avenue “The Rodeo Drive of West Philly” and this is slowly becoming a reality. Many local businesses benefit from both Powelton residents and college students.The Avenue is lined with shops, restaurants and other retail establishments including a bank, locksmith, dance studio, juice bar, gym, vintage clothing stores, barber shop, Philly's largest gaming shop, jewelry and textile stores, two coffee shops, and Asian, Indian, and Philly fare restaurants.
Residential streets are mostly lined with Victorian twin houses, some of which are traditional family homes, while others have been subdivided into apartments. Detached houses, row houses, and apartment buildings also dot the neighborhood.
The southern end of Powelton Village includes property owned by Drexel University. Many students from Drexel live off-campus in Powelton's urban-structured row-house apartments because of the short walk to campus.
Transportation
Powelton is easily accessed by automobile and public transportation. The neighborhood is close to Interstate 76, and several major streets, including Market, Spring Garden, and 34th, cross the neighborhood. Bike lanes run along Haverford Avenue, Spring Garden Street and its bridge, Lancaster Avenue, and on 38th and 34th Streets south of Lancaster Avenue.
The neighborhood is close to two subway stops on the Market–Frankford Line, located at 34th and Market and 40th and Market. Powelton is also easily accessed by trolley: the route 10 trolley runs on 36th Street between the Ludlow Street portal and Lancaster Avenue, continuing west on Lancaster Avenue. Additionally, there are two underground trolley stops close to Powelton: 33rd and Market, serving all trolley lines, and 36th and Sansom, serving all lines except route 10. Bus route 31 runs through the neighborhood, traveling north on 33rd, Baring, and 35th, and south on 37th, Baring, and 34th. Route 43 runs east on Spring Garden Street and west on Haverford Avenue. The neighborhood is adjacent to 30th Street Station, which serves all Northeast Corridor trains, the New Jersey Transit Atlantic City Line, and all Regional Rail lines, as well as the Market-Frankford Line and the subway-surface trolley lines.
Arts and culture
Several art and photo galleries have opened along Lancaster Avenue from 36th to 40th. The Community Education Center, at 35th and Lancaster, holds various community events and gatherings. Spiral Q Puppet Theater is located on Spring Garden Street between 31st and 32nd Streets. Nearby destinations include The Bridge, a movie theater at 40th and Walnut; and the Philadelphia Zoo at 34th and Girard.
During Lancaster Avenue's "Second Fridays," shops and galleries are open later and often have various specials, and the event often features live music.
Education and Hospitality
Public education choices include the Samuel Powel Elementary School at 36th and Powelton, the Drew School at 37th and Lancaster, and University City High School at 36th and Filbert. The University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University have significant presences in the neighborhood, as well as in adjacent areas to the south.
To serve these two universities, several hotels are located nearby, including the Sheraton at 36th and Chestnut, and The Inn at Penn, located between 36th & 37th Sts. on Sansom St. In Powelton proper, there are several bed-and-breakfasts, including the Cornerstone at 33rd and Baring Sts.. | WIKI |
Bar Association dubs fourth Trump judicial nominee unqualified | TheHill
The American Bar Association (ABA) has deemed a fourth judicial nominee of President Trump unqualified for the job. The powerful legal organization's standing committee unanimously dubbed Brett Talley, a Justice Department lawyer, not qualified to hold the judgeship on the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, for which Trump has tapped him. In a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck GrassleyCharles (Chuck) Ernest GrassleyGOP senators call for Barr to release full results of Epstein investigation Trump health official: Controversial drug pricing move is 'top priority' Environmental advocates should take another look at biofuels MORE (R-Iowa) and Ranking Member Dianne FeinsteinDianne Emiel FeinsteinTrump administration urges Congress to reauthorize NSA surveillance program The Hill's Morning Report - More talk on guns; many questions on Epstein's death Juan Williams: We need a backlash against Big Tech MORE (D-Calif.) released late Tuesday, the committee said that it did not have any concerns with Talley's "integrity or temperament," but that he lacked the "requisite experience." "In sum, although Mr. Talley does not, at this point, have the requisite experience, the Committee believes that, given the passage of time and the appropriate experience, Mr. Talley has great potential to serve as a federal judge," the letter reads. Talley has drawn some scrutiny for his online presence. He authored a 2013 blog post calling on readers to "join the National Rifle Association" and calling gun control legislation rolled out after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School "the greatest attack on our constitutional freedoms in our lifetime." Talley is the second federal judicial nominee tapped by Trump to be unanimously labeled not qualified by the ABA committee. The panel also deemed Leonard Steven Grasz, whom Trump nominated to a judgeship on the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, not qualified late last month, with one member abstaining. In a statement issued at the time, the standing committee questioned Grasz's ability to apply the law fairly. "In sum, the evaluators and the Committee found that temperament issues, particularly bias and lack of open-mindedness, were problematic," the statement reads. "The evaluators found that the people interviewed believed that the nominee's bias and the lens through which he viewed his role as a judge colored his ability to judge fairly." A majority of the panel's members also voted to deem unqualified Charles Barnes Goodwin, a nominee to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma, and Holly Lou Teeter, a nominee to the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. In another letter released late Tuesday, the committee said Teeter lacked the necessary experience to serve as a federal judge, but that it was not concerned about her temperament or integrity. The ABA has long provided evaluations of prospective nominees to lower federal courts for the White House — a tradition first set under President Eisenhower. The Trump White House notified the panel in March, however, that the president did not intend to follow that precedent, but that the committee is welcome to provide the evaluations after nominees are tapped.

Brief Report: Oxidative Stress Mediates Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis in a Human Model of Danon Disease and Heart Failure.
Return to Grants
Publication Year:
2015
Authors:
PubMed ID:
25826782
Public Summary:
Danon disease is a inherited cause of heart failure due to mutations in a gene called LAMP-2. Patients with Danon disease generally die from heart failure or need heart transplants in their 20s or 30s. In this study we used skin biopsies from patients with Danon disease to make stem cells and then we used the stem cells to make heart cells. We then performed in depth analysis of the Danon disease stem cell derived heart cells and found that they had impaired metabolic and physiologic function. We also treated the cells with a drug called NAC and saw some benefit, but further study is going to be required to determine if this drug has any clinical benefit.
Scientific Abstract:
Danon disease is a familial cardiomyopathy associated with impaired autophagy due to mutations in the gene encoding lysosomal-associated membrane protein type 2 (LAMP-2). Emerging evidence has highlighted the importance of autophagy in regulating cardiomyocyte bioenergetics, function, and survival. However, the mechanisms responsible for cellular dysfunction and death in cardiomyocytes with impaired autophagic flux remain unclear. To investigate the molecular mechanisms responsible for Danon disease, we created induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from two patients with different LAMP-2 mutations. Danon iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) exhibited impaired autophagic flux and key features of heart failure such as increased cell size, increased expression of natriuretic peptides, and abnormal calcium handling compared to control iPSC-CMs. Additionally, Danon iPSC-CMs demonstrated excessive amounts of mitochondrial oxidative stress and apoptosis. Using the sulfhydryl antioxidant N-acetylcysteine to scavenge free radicals resulted in a significant reduction in apoptotic cell death in Danon iPSC-CMs. In summary, we have modeled Danon disease using human iPSC-CMs from patients with mutations in LAMP-2, allowing us to gain mechanistic insight into the pathogenesis of this disease. We demonstrate that LAMP-2 deficiency leads to an impairment in autophagic flux, which results in excessive oxidative stress, and subsequent cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Scavenging excessive free radicals with antioxidants may be beneficial for patients with Danon disease. In vivo studies will be necessary to validate this new treatment strategy. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Not exaclty sure what you mean by this, but if you mean change display language then,
1. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Region and Language
2. Switch to the Keyboards and Languages tab.
3. Click on Change keyboards....
4. Click on Add... in the general tab of text services and input languages.
5. Add your specified language and select it in the drop down box in the general tab.
6. Click OK
7. Log off for the changes to take effect (This will affect only the user profile under which you are currently logged on).
If it is not on the list you can install language packs from MS.

As far as I know all copies have english installed with it. If this is true then you would look at the fr-FR and put them down for having French, just look up for the abbreviations for what you need and script it.

Hey Roger - is the OQLF breathing down your neck, by any chance?
Way back when we were using TrackIT, I wrote this script:
' For Each oOS in GetObject("winmgmts:").InstancesOf("Win32_OperatingSystem")
' iOSLang = oOS.OSLanguage
'
' Select Case ioslang
'
' case "1036"
'
' texttowrite = "French"
'
' case "2060"
'
' texttowrite = "French"
'
' case "4108"
'
' texttowrite = "French"
'
' case "3084"
'
' texttowrite = "French"
'
' case "5132"
' texttowrite = "French"
'
' case "1033"
'
' texttowrite = "English"
'
' End Select
'
' Set File = fs.OpenTextFile("c:\LANG\Language.txt",2,true)
' File.write texttowrite
' File.close
'
'
' Next
Then I could scan the LANG folder with TrackIT and populate a custom field with the contents of the Language file. I am looking for a similar solution with SpiceWorks.

Okay - nasty hack...
I changed the last 3 lines of the script - no longer writing results to a file but writing to the part of the Windows registry used by SpiceWorks to determine installed software: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.
Here's the new part:
Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strComputer = "."
Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\OS Language"
oReg.CreateKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath
strValueName = "DisplayName"
strValue = strValue = "OS Language is " & texttowrite
oReg.SetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,strValue
strValueName = "DisplayVersion"
strValue = "1.0"
oReg.SetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,strValue
strValueName = "UninstallString"
strValue = "C:\Uninstall.exe"
oReg.SetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,strValue
Note that this will create a "OS Language is $texttowrite" entry in the machine's Add/Remove Programs list.
Now I should be able to query which/how many machines have what OS Language.

For Windows 7, you will need to mess with the UAC settings. Allowing admins to perform administrative tasks did not seem like a revolutionary idea to us. We modified our GPO's accordingly.
Since this script needs local admin rights, it needs to be run as a startup and not as a login.
Be careful with the uninstall string - if by some strange reason there is an uninstall.exe file in the machine's root, trying to uninstall this "software" using Add Remove programs will actually launch the executable. It could be safer by pointing it to a folder or file that does not exist.
Here is the whole thing:

Note that the software_id values will need to be changed to whatever they happen to be in your database.
Also, I use the AD "Location" field to track what division the user is in as we have different OS Language requirements for each.

Hi @bgamex ! Thanks for reporting this. I will take it in account.
according to https://libsoup.org/glib/glib-Glob-style-pattern-matching.html#g-pattern-spec-match-string the new function is available since glib 2.7. As the reference system is Debian 10 and Debian 11 for stable and unstable, and they don't include the new glib version, we can't consider this as a bug/issue.
Once the newer glib version is in used, the deprecated function will properly replaced.
If you can compile the code, I suggest:
• either to modify the flags in the CMakeLists.txt, so it is not consider as error, but a warning; or
• to use pragma to silent the skip the error. You will find an example how to use pragma here
It should be something like:
#pragma GCC diagnostic push
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wdeprecated-declarations"
res = g_pattern_match_string (patt, g_ascii_strdown (string, -1));
#pragma GCC diagnostic pop
So, closing this issue for now.

Republican jokingly asks scientists about time travel | TheHill
A Republican jokingly asked scientists about time travel at a hearing Wednesday where lawmakers were briefed on new discoveries that confirm one of Albert Einstein's theories. “I’m a surfer of course," Rep. Dana Rohrbacher (R-Calif.) said at a House Science Committee hearing about the discovery of gravitational waves in space. "I find out about riding waves. “But will this discovery that you are talking about today make time travel, I mean this is one thing I’ve been hearing about, will it make it any more likely,” he continued. “We wish,” responded Gabriela Gonzalez, a spokeswoman for the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, which made the discovery, to laughter. At the hearing, scientists explained the impact of the groundbreaking discovery of gravitational waves. Earlier this month, the team of scientists said they had recorded the sound of two colliding black holes. It was the first direct evidence of gravitational waves since Einstein's theory a century ago. “[The discovery] actually does show distortions of space time... We can see time traveling faster then slower, but it cannot make us travel in time,” Gonzalez explained. Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) called it “one of the greatest scientific discoveries we will ever hear about.” David Reitze, the executive director of LIGO, described it as a “truly stunning discovery.” “This is inspirational because it allows us to see the universe in a way we have never seen before,” Reitze said. “For all of us, that’s why we got into science.” The LIGO research project began construction in 1994 and has cost more than $1.1 billion, said Fleming Crim, a directorate for the National Science Foundation. LIGO includes more than 1,000 members and 16 countries. The scientists and National Science Foundation officials both stressed the importance of long-term funding from Congress for the project. “It illustrated the importance of distinct funding for projects of this scale,” Crim said. “NSF embraced a new role in funding high-risk high-reward research platforms.” Democrats hailed the findings and said it highlighted the need for continued research funding. “It’s really easy for people to say I have bridges, roads and schools in my district that need fixing, but I think we would be better not just as a country but as a species if we continue this funding,” Rep. Elizabeth Esty (D-Conn.) said. Asked about the practical effects of the finding, Crim said “we don’t know what the uses may be, but they are out there." View the discussion thread.

Obstetric labor complication
SpecialtyObstetrics Edit this on Wikidata
An obstetric labor complication is a difficulty or abnormality that arises during the process of labor or delivery.
The Trust for America's Health reports that as of 2011, about one third of American births have some complications; many are directly related to the mother's health including increasing rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and physical inactivity. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has led an initiative to improve woman's health previous to conception in an effort to improve both neonatal and maternal death rates.[1]
Types[edit]
Amniotic fluid embolism[edit]
An amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare childbirth (obstetric) emergency in which amniotic fluid, enters the blood stream of the mother to trigger a serious reaction. This reaction then results in cardiorespiratory (heart and lung) collapse and massive bleeding (coagulopathy).[2][3][4]
Bleeding[edit]
Obstetrical bleeding or hemorrhage, or heavy blood loss, is still the leading cause of death of birthing mothers in the world today, especially in the developing world. Heavy blood loss leads to hypovolemic shock, insufficient perfusion of vital organs and death if not rapidly treated. Blood transfusion may be life saving. Causes of heavy bleeding during labour include placental abruption and uterine rupture.
Cord prolapse[edit]
Umbilical cord prolapse occurs when the umbilical cord comes out of the uterus with or before the presenting part of the fetus. Umbilical cord prolapse should always be considered a possibility when there is a sudden decrease in fetal heart rate or variable decelerations, particularly after the rupture of membranes. With overt prolapses, the diagnosis can be confirmed if the cord can be palpated on vaginal examination. Without overt prolapse, the diagnosis can only be confirmed after a cesarean section, though even then it will not always be evident at time of procedure.[5]
Obstructed labour[edit]
The second stage of labour may be delayed or lengthy due to poor or uncoordinated uterine action, an abnormal uterine position such as breech or shoulder dystocia, and cephalopelvic disproportion (a small pelvis or large infant). Prolonged labour may result in maternal exhaustion, fetal distress, and other complications including obstetric fistula.[6]
Placental abruption[edit]
Placental abruption is separation of the placenta from the uterus. Treatment of placental abruption during labour is immediate delivery if the fetus is mature (36 weeks or older), or if a younger fetus or the mother is in distress.
Premature labour[edit]
Premature labour is labour that spontaneously occurs earlier than 37 weeks gestational age.
Nuchal cord[edit]
A nuchal cord is a complication that occurs when the umbilical cord becomes wrapped around the fetal neck. If present during labour, treatment is delivery by C-section.
Perinatal asphyxia[edit]
Perinatal asphyxia is the medical condition resulting from deprivation of oxygen to during labour. Hypoxic damage can occur to most of the infant's organs (heart, lungs, liver, gut, kidneys), but brain damage is of most concern and perhaps the least likely to quickly or completely heal.[7] Treatment is immediate delivery (C-section). Causes of perinatal asphyxia include umbilical cord prolapse, nuchal cord, and obstructed labour.
Mechanical fetal injury[edit]
Risk factors for fetal birth injury include fetal macrosomia (big baby), maternal obesity, the need for instrumental delivery, and an inexperienced attendant. Specific situations that can contribute to birth injury include breech presentation, conduplicato corpore and shoulder dystocia. Most fetal birth injuries resolve without long term harm, but brachial plexus injury may lead to Erb's palsy or Klumpke's paralysis.[8]
Uterine rupture[edit]
Uterine rupture is a serious event during childbirth by which the integrity of the myometrial wall is breached. In an incomplete rupture the peritoneum is still intact. With a complete rupture the contents of the uterus may spill into the peritoneal cavity or the broad ligament. A uterine rupture is a life-threatening event for mother and baby as it typically results in severe hemorrhage and can cause perinatal asphyxia.

So, what initiates biofilm formation in the first place? Quorum sensing, Bacterial Density, Autoinducers?
How do 10, 20 or 1000+ individual bacteria all minding their own business at a specific threshold, 1001 for example, initiate quorum sensing?
Has anyone studied the mechanism behind population density? Like why 100 bacteria can peaceful bacteria can cohabitate, but at 101 it becomes too much to handle and the whole environment changes, and not for the better.?
This was posed to Dr. Gregory Anderson, biofilm researcher, in an email exchange. The more data I have the better I’m able to come up with an effective and comprehensive, natural biofilm busting protocol. I truly appreciate the time and effort Dr. Anderson put into the information he shared with me.
Marcus,
The numbers really don’t matter. What matters is the population density. You could have 10 bacteria in a really small space, and they would be experiencing all sorts of quorum sensing behavior. On the other hand, you could have 10^9 bacterial cells in a huge volume and no quorum sense at all. This is because, at high cell density, you also have a high density of the autoinducer molecule (the molecule produced by the bacteria that they then sense to initiate quorum sensing).
def. Quorum sensing is a process of cell-cell communication that allows bacteria to share information about cell density and adjust gene expression accordingly. This process enables bacteria to express energetically expensive processes as a collective only when the impact of those processes on the environment or on a host will be maximized. Among the many traits controlled by quorum sensing is the expression of virulence factors by pathogenic bacteria.
Bassler BL, et. al., Bacterial quorum sensing: its role in virulence and possibilities for its control. Cold Spring Harb Perspect Med. 2012 Nov 1;2(11). pii: a012427.
In fact, in the early days of quorum sensing research, they took cell-free supernatants from dense cultures and added them to low-density cultures, and they saw quorum sensing regulated gene expression. This was because the culture supernatant contained high concentrations of the autoinducer molecules.
def. Autoinduction (AI), the response to self-produced chemical signals, is widespread in the bacterial world. This process controls vastly different target functions, such as luminescence, nutrient acquisition, and biofilm formation, in different ways and integrates additional environmental and physiological cues.
Burkhard A. Hense, et. al., Core Principles of Bacterial Autoinducer Systems. Microbiology and molecular biology reviews
In a growing culture, though, you are right; at low numbers (or, more accurately, low cell density), there is no quorum sensing. But once that threshold density is achieved, then that pathway is initiated. What’s happening is that the autoinducers, which is steadily pumped out of each cell, finally accumulate to a sufficient level to be simultaneously recognized by each cell.
Imagine 2 people standing on opposite sides of a tennis court, tossing out tennis balls at random. The probability is low that any tennis balls will hit either person. If there are 300 people on the tennis court throwing balls, the probability is high that each person will be hit constantly. So as you increase from low density (2 people) to high density (300), the probability steadily increases that each person will be hit (4 people, probably not; 8 people probably not; 16 people, maybe; 32 people, likely). Once they reach that threshold density, then each person will be hit constantly.
Similarly in quorum sensing, as bacteria increase in number in a confined space, they will eventually reach a threshold density at which they each constantly receive the quorum sensing signal (autoinducers). Is it possible that they get hit before then? Yes. But since they are free-floating, as they diffuse away it is less likely that they will get continual autoinducer signal, until the threshold density is achieved. Thus, they will only experience transient quorum sensing activated gene transcription.
In a biofilm, however, bacteria are stuck to each other. Thus, in a growing biofilm microcolony, there is a local high density of bacteria, which is ideal for constant quorum sensing activation. So once more than 1 bacterium starts to bind to a surface (or one binds and then divides), quorum sensing will play a large role in that biofilm development. It’s all based on probability and statistics.
I’m not sure I have the best article to describe quorum sensing, but the attached review is from one of the greats in the field.

My laboratory studies the interactions between bacterial pathogens and the host epithelium. Specifically, we are interested in understanding how Pseudomonas aeruginosa exploits underlying lung dysfunction in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) to establish and maintain chronic lung infection. After CF lung colonization, P. aeruginosa undergoes genetic regulatory changes leading to the formation of antibiotic-resistant biofilms, which persist in the lung for the life of the patient despite aggressive antimicrobial therapy. We have developed a novel system for the development of P. aeruginosa biofilms on human CF-derived airway epithelial cells in vitro. Using this model, we are identifying factors that impact biofilm antibiotic resistance as well as bacterial virulence in the context of CF lung infection.
We are also interested in understanding the mechanisms of biofilm formation in chronic wound infections. While a number of different pathogens have been identified in chronic wounds, P. aeruginosa is found in the most severe. We are investigating how this microbe colonizes these sites and maintains long-term infection.
The overall goal of our research is to better understand the nature of chronic infections so that new and better therapies can be developed. Toward that end, we are testing novel compounds for antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity.

Test Procedures and Terminology, Alphabetically Sorted:
ISO 13503-2 | ISO 13503-5
API RP19C | API RP56
Test Procedures
Absolute Density – (also known as “Particle Density”) – The true measure of density of a discrete proppant particle. Measurement is by a “pyncnometer” taking a fixed mass of proppant and passing argon through the mass in an enclosed chamber of specific volume. Measures the density of the proppant only.
Acid Solubility – A mass loss (gravimetric) test method which determines the degree of solubility of natural sand and manufactured proppant in a 12:3 blend of Hydrochloric and Hydrofluoric acids, which is a measure of the resistance of proppants to acid attack, and an indication of the presence of contaminants which may negatively affect proppant performance.
Apparent Density – (also known as “Specific Gravity”) – Determines the density of a particle by weighing a measured mass of proppant in a low-viscosity fluid such as kerosene or mineral spirits. The fluid displaces the air that normally fills the interstitial space between particles.
Bulk Density – The unit mass of an untapped or unsettled proppant that will occupy a specific known volume; e.g., how many grams per cubic centimeter, or lbs per cubic foot. Bulk Density includes both the mass of the proppant and the mass of air occupying the interstitial spaces between proppant particles.
Clusters – Undesirable agglomerated discrete proppant particles; typically occurs more with inefficiently processed natural sand proppants as opposed to manufactured ceramic proppants. ISO 13503-2 and API RP19C limit the mass of clusters to less than 1%.
Conductivity --- Conductivity is a calculated value based on the permeability and width of a proppant pack in a prepared API test cell, usually between sandstone cores or steel plates, depending on the objectives of the test. Conductivity is typically expressed in units of millidarcy-feet (md-ft), the darcy being named after Henry Darcy, a pioneer researcher in hydraulics and fluid flow through porous media. Standards are API RP-19D and its ISO 13503-5 equivalent. The test is performed by sandwiching 2.0 lbs / sq ft of proppant between carefully-fitted sandstone cores or steel plates in a standard API test cell. Degassed 2% potassium chloride solution is pumped through the proppant pack using precision, constant flow rate pumps while at the same time applying force to the pistons at the top and bottom of the API cell, forcing the sandstone cores or steel plates tightly against the proppant and simulating closure stress downhole. Flow, pressure, temperature, and other data are recorded as the cell is stressed for 50 hrs +/- 2 hrs for each desired closure stress level. Permeability and pack width are directly measured, and conductivity is then calculated and plotted. Temperatures up to 350F and stresses up to 20,000 psi can be accommodated.
Crush Resistance – The measure of the strength of a mass of screened, fines-free dry proppant to force applied over a fixed cross-sectional area, providing an equivalent stress to the proppant under test. The mass of proppant introduced to the crush cylinder is a function of its Bulk Density and the specified loading of 4.0 lb/cu ft. The load is applied in a controlled rate and held at the final test stress level for 2.0 minutes. The mass is re-screened to determined the amount of fines generated by the applied stress, and the highest stress attained without producing more than 10.0% fines is the “K Number.” For example, if Crush Resistance of a proppant yielded 9.78% fines at 10,000 psi and 10.44% fines at 11,000 psi, the K Number (K=1000) of that proppant would be “10K,” because the generated fines were below 10.0% at 10,000 psi (10K psi) and exceeded 10% at 11,000 psi.
pH – A measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and thus a measure of the solution’s acidity or basicity. Acidity or basicity of a mass of proppant mixed into a mass of dionized water is an indication of the proppant’s chemical effects on completion fluid chemistry.
Resin Coating Loss of Mass on Ignition (LOI) -- A mass loss (gravimetric) test method which determines the mass of resin coating applied to a natural sand or manufactured proppant by means of thorough combustion of the flammable resin from the non-flammable proppant. Result reported as a % of original mass of coated proppant. Applies to coated proppants only.
Sieve Analysis – Determines particle size distribution by means of passing a measured mass of proppant through a stack of progressively finer mesh sieves and a colletion pan for fines under shaking and “hammering” action provided by a Tyler Ro-Tap shaker device for 10 minutes. ISO 13503-2 and API RP19C require that a minimum of 90% of the proppant mass fall between the designated sieve sizes (e.g., “20-40”). Not more than 0.1% may be trapped by the first screen, and not more than 1.0% may fall into the pan. The mass of proppant sample retained on each sieve is entered into software and statistical calculations determine the mean and median (D50) particle size.
Sphericity and Roundness – (also known as “Krumbein Shape Factors”) – Sphericity is the measure of how spherical a given proppant particle is. Roundness is the measure of the lack of sharp edges or angularity. For example, highly spherical and well rounded proppants resemble small potatoes under magnification, whereas particles possessing low sphericity and roundness resemble unfinished stone arrowheads. Proppants must be highly spherical and well rounded in order to maximize interstitial space between adjacent proppant particles to allow passage of oil, gas, condensate, etc., through the proppant pack in the frac width.
Turbidity – A method using transmittance or reflectance of light to measure the amount of fines which are <200 US Mesh in diameter, including clay, silt, proppant fines, etc. A fixed mass of proppant is added to a fixed mass of deionized water, agitated, and the water is drawn off and measured in a tubidity meter. The higher the fines content, the more “cloudy” or turbid the water will be. ISO 13503-2 and API RP19C limit the Turbidity of proppants to 250 FTU / NTU; 1 FTU (Formazin Turbidity Unit) = 1 NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Unit). | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Andrew Bailey: New Bank of England governor is a safe choice in uncertain times
London (CNN Business)The United Kingdom has picked a safe pair of hands — the country's top financial regulator — to succeed Mark Carney as Bank of England governor as the economy enters uncharted territory after Brexit. Andrew Bailey, currently head of the Financial Conduct Authority and a former deputy governor of the UK central bank, will take on the job when Carney steps down in March. Carney was appointed in 2013 for a five-year term but his departure from the bank has been delayed three times because of the confusion surrounding Britain's exit from the European Union. Bailey can look forward to greater clarity on Brexit following Prime Minister Boris Johnson's clear victory in the UK election last week. "When we launched this process, we said we were looking for a leader of international standing with expertise across monetary, economic and regulatory matters," UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Sajid Javid said in a statement. "In Andrew Bailey that is who we have appointed ... He is the right person to lead the bank as we forge a new future outside the EU." With a big majority in parliament, Johnson's government is poised to take the United Kingdom out of the European Union by January 31, more than three years after the country voted to leave the bloc. Britain will then enter into a transitional period that maintains existing trading arrangements while the new terms of its relationship with the bloc are hammered out. That doesn't mean the new governor has a smooth road ahead. Economists aren't sure how the UK economy will fare in the next year as negotiations continue. There's also concern that the country will run out of time to clinch a deal before the transitional arrangements expire at the end of 2020, raising the prospect of a damaging rupture of trade ties with the bloc. The pound, which had raced to its highest level since the middle of 2018 following the election, shed all of those gains this week as Brexit anxieties resurfaced. It's now trading back near $1.30. How monetary policy will unfold over the coming year is hard to predict. Some economists expect wage growth and consumer spending to start pushing up inflation, boosting the case for an interest rate hike. Others fear that ongoing uncertainty about a possible cliff-edge late next year, or whether Britain will stay on close terms with the European Union, could weigh on business investment, holding back the economy. That could put a rate cut on the table. "It's not the time for a maverick and Bailey will be ready to turn either way on rates depending on how both Brexit and global trade pans out next year," said Jasper Lawler, head of research at London Capital Group. Political risks haven't disappeared entirely, either. Nationalists won a big victory in Scotland in the UK election and are already pushing for a referendum on independence. Bailey will be the 121st governor of the Bank of England since it was founded 325 years ago. He has been appointed for an eight-year term and will receive a salary of £495,000 ($645,000). | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Technetium (99mTc) arcitumomab
Technetium (99mTc) arcitumomab is a drug used for the diagnostic imaging of colorectal cancers, marketed by Immunomedics. It consists of the Fab' fragment of a monoclonal antibody (arcitumomab, trade name CEA-Scan) and a radionuclide, technetium-99m.
Chemistry
Technetium (99mTc) arcitumomab is an immunoconjugate. Arcitumomab is a Fab' fragment of IMMU-4, a murine IgG1 monoclonal antibody extracted from the ascites of mice. The enzyme pepsin cleaves the F(ab')2 fragment off the antibody. From this, the Fab' fragment is prepared by mild reduction.
Before application, arcitumomab is reconstituted with a solution of the radioactive agent sodium pertechnetate (99mTc) from a technetium generator.
Mechanism of action
Arcitumomab recognizes carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), an antigen over-expressed in 95% of colorectal cancers. Consequently, the antibody accumulates in such tumours together with the radioisotope, which emits photons. Via single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), high-resolution images showing localisation, remission or progression, and metastases of the tumour can be obtained.
Contraindications
Technetium (99mTc) arcitumomab is contraindicated for patients with known allergies or hypersensitivity to mouse proteins, as well as during pregnancy. Women should pause breast feeding for 24 hours after application of the drug.
Adverse effects and overdose
Only mild and transient side effects have been observed, mostly immunological reactions like eosinophilia, itching and fever. Some patients develop human anti-mouse antibodies, so there is the theoretical possibility of anaphylactic reactions. High doses of IMMU-4 (up to 20-fold diagnostic arcitumomab dose) have not led to any serious events. One patient has been reported to develop a grand mal after application.
Radioactivity can lead to radiation poisoning. Since the dose of an arcitumomab application is about 10 mSv, such an overdose is unlikely. | WIKI |

* I restored the cast section, unlinked redundant actor links in the subsequent pgh and pressed all the unencyclopedic "Act of Murder"—"Alibi"—"Solution" business into an appropriate Plot section.— TAnthonyTalk 22:07, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
Locations
* From User talk:DenbySpinks:
Regarding Evil Under the Sun (1982 film): though you may recognize certain locations while viewing the film, it is inappropriate to add this information to the article without a reliable source. Phrasing such as "the locations were well stitched together" are particular examples of editor opinion being weaved into the article. Even with my edits there are no citations asserting that these locations were used, or that the coordinates (!!) are accurate, but I'm assuming these are obvious to viewers of the film who are familiar with the locales, and not likely to be challenged. However your editorializing of what can or cannot be seen in the background of certain scenes is unencyclopedic and, frankly, trivial. Thanks.— TAnthonyTalk 19:40, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
* Response from User talk:TAnthony
* Firstly, what a pretentious response.
* Secondly, I didn't just, "recognize certain locations while viewing the film", as you surmise, but actually spent TWO MONTHS ON THE ISLAND, specifically for the purpose of identifying the said locations. A lot of the locations VISITED, had printed references to their inclusion in the film, with pictures of Ustinov et al, in character, on display at the location. (Unless of course they'd just photo-shopped the images, and it hadn't actually happened at all). There is a myriad of pages on Wikipedia without many references, but I seriously doubt that any of them have been as comprehensively researched as this piece has been. It's quite difficult to cite 'a reliable source', when the 'reliable source' is oneself, and/or an acquired, related leaflet. THERE IS NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER THAT THESE LOCATIONS ARE ACCURATE! If nothing else, pictorial evidence can verify this. I'd hate to see two months of research go to waste.
* Thirdly, phrasing such as "the locations were well stitched together", ARE NOT just "editor opinion" being "weaved" into the article, as you so grandiloquently put it, but are references to the fact that the various VERIFIED locations are actually up to forty miles apart. However in the film, the very same locations are made to appear very close together, (as you would know if you were familiar with the film), hence the phrase, "the locations were well stitched together". Nothing will ever be "challenged", with or without your pointless intervention. Indeed, this paragraph had stood unmolested for years before you decided to 'improve' it.
* Finally, your assertion that, "what can or cannot be seen in the background of certain scenes is unencyclopedic and, frankly, trivial", is, "frankly", the most misplaced, erroneous, and preposterous comment that you have made. Your obvious ignorance as to why this comment is a little more than 'trivia', exposes your complete lack of knowledge of either the film, or the geography. Originally, this scene, (where Mr Blatt is on his yacht talking to Poirot, supposedly in the South of France), was listed, (quite wrongly), as being filmed off the coast of the north eastern part of Mallorca. It was actually filmed inside the bay of Sant Elm, on the other side of the island. The reference to "what can be seen in the background", (OF THIS SCENE IN ISOLATION!), serves two purposes. As it is Sa Dragonera that can, WITHOUT QUESTION, be "seen in the background", it places the scene at Sant Elm WITHOUT ANY SHADOW OF DOUBT. For an American, it's rather like the Empire State and Manhattan. Therefore this so-called "trivia", is as good as any citable 'reliable source'. In addition, it also verifies without question, that the north of the island was not used for this scene. As Sa Dragonera and its surrounds on the main island were used for the setting of 'Daphne's Island', it may interest other readers to know that this scene, supposedly set in the South of France, was actually filmed where everything else was filmed. (Europe isn't a country by the way). Mallorca is a holiday island, and Evil Under the Sun is a popular film. I'm sure that more than one person has been interested by the combination whilst on the island. Maybe now even you can appreciate that this aside was a little more relevant than just "unencyclopedic trivia".
* It astounded me that you have the audacity to draw attention to your own pedantic demeanour on your page. It doesn't readily align with the lazy intervention on this subject. "Even with my edits............"? All that your edits have done is detract from the article without due cause. As a (claimed) writer, you surely must appreciate what it's like when you invest a lot of time into a piece, then someone 'comes along', who hasn't got a clue, and attempts to 'improve' it.
* Nb: There is English English, and wrong! Nothing else.
* Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DenbySpinks (talk • contribs) 23:56, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
* Wow, this is quite a response. I do appreciate the time and effort you put into your contributions to the article, but unfortunately you didn't familiarize yourself with Wikipedia content rules first. I'm very familiar with the film and I don't doubt that your observations and extensive research are correct, however you're missing the point. Per WP:No original research, you could be Peter Ustinov himself, but your personal observations of the film, as "obvious" and "verified" as these locations may be, are not appropriate for the article. If there is an interview or magazine article or other reliable source that says, "the film was shot on this island" or "at this estate", then fine, but an editor asserting something from personal experience or research is not allowed. I'm leaving the basic locales in the article, but technically I could remove them because there are no reliable sources at all. Your stating "as seen in the background" is your personal "testimony" of what is being seen. You are drawing conclusions based on your personal observations, and whether you are correct or not, you cannot do that. It doesn't matter if a location is "obvious", this is not how content here is presented. The fact that this inappropriately presented content has been here "unmolested for years" does not change that fact that it violates the Manual of Style and other rules. Further, when you say the locations were "well stitched together", you are writing your personal opinion of how the director made disparate locations seem like the same island (see WP:POV). It is enough to say that the film was shot in such-and-such locations and leave it at that. Your extensive research of the minutae of filming locations is the perfect thing for the trivia section of the film at IMDB.com, I encourage you to add it there. Thanks.— TAnthonyTalk 04:37, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
* You have restored the same unsourced material and I have removed it again. Unfortunately, you have made no attempt to address any of its issues. You have said there are written materials establishing the various filming locations. Sources do not need to be available online, can you attempt to reference these pamphlets, signs etc. using cite sign, cite press release, or similar? I do have to object to the specific phrasing "the locations were well stitched together" (unless attributed to another source besides yourself) because that is your personal observation of the effectiveness of the film in making the disparate locations seem connected. Same goes for the observation that "Brabourne and Goodwin kept to their formula of using exotic locations for their Christie productions", true as it may be. Thanks.— TAnthonyTalk 04:54, 9 January 2017 (UTC) | WIKI |
The MIANALYZE Procedure
Examples of the Complete-Data Inferences
For a given parameter of interest, it is not always possible to compute the estimate and associated covariance matrix directly from a SAS procedure. This section describes examples of parameters with their estimates and associated covariance matrices, which provide the input to the MIANALYZE procedure. Some are straightforward, and others require special techniques.
Means
For a population mean vector $\bmu $, the usual estimate is the sample mean vector
\[ \overline{\mb{y}} = \frac{1}{n} \sum {\mb{y}_{i}} \]
A variance estimate for $\overline{\mb{y}}$ is $\frac{1}{n}\mb{S}$, where $\mb{S}$ is the sample covariance matrix
\[ \mb{S} = \frac{1}{\, n-1 \, } \sum { ( \mb{y}_{i} - \overline{\mb{y}} ) ( \mb{y}_{i} - \overline{\mb{y}} )’ } \]
These statistics can be computed from a procedure such as PROC CORR. This approach is illustrated in Example 76.2.
Regression Coefficients
Many SAS procedures are available for regression analysis. Among them, PROC REG provides the most general analysis capabilities, and others like PROC LOGISTIC and PROC MIXED provide more specialized analyses.
Some regression procedures, such as REG and LOGISTIC, create an EST type data set that contains both the parameter estimates for the regression coefficients and their associated covariance matrix. You can read an EST type data set in the MIANALYZE procedure with the DATA= option. This approach is illustrated in Example 76.3.
Other procedures, such as GLM, MIXED, and GENMOD, do not generate EST type data sets for regression coefficients. For PROC MIXED and PROC GENMOD, you can use ODS OUTPUT statement to save parameter estimates in a data set and the associated covariance matrix in a separate data set. These data sets are then read in the MIANALYZE procedure with the PARMS= and COVB= options, respectively. This approach is illustrated in Example 76.4 for PROC MIXED and in Example 76.5 for PROC GENMOD.
PROC GLM does not display tables for covariance matrices. However, you can use the ODS OUTPUT statement to save parameter estimates and associated standard errors in a data set and the associated $(\mb{X}^\prime \mb{X})^{-1}$ matrix in a separate data set. These data sets are then read in the MIANALYZE procedure with the PARMS= and XPXI= options, respectively. This approach is illustrated in Example 76.6.
For univariate inference, only parameter estimates and associated standard errors are needed. You can use the ODS OUTPUT statement to save parameter estimates and associated standard errors in a data set. This data set is then read in the MIANALYZE procedure with the PARMS= option. This approach is illustrated in Example 76.4.
Correlation Coefficients
For the population correlation coefficient $\rho $, a point estimate is the sample correlation coefficient r. However, for nonzero $\rho $, the distribution of r is skewed.
The distribution of r can be normalized through Fisher’s z transformation
\[ z(r) = \frac{1}{2} \, \mr{log} \left( \frac{1+r}{1-r} \right) \]
$z(r)$ is approximately normally distributed with mean $z(\rho )$ and variance $1/(n-3)$.
With a point estimate $\hat{z}$ and an approximate 95% confidence interval $(z_{1}, z_{2})$ for $z(\rho )$, a point estimate $\hat{r}$ and a 95% confidence interval $(r_{1}, r_{2})$ for $\rho $ can be obtained by applying the inverse transformation
\[ r = \mr{tanh}(z) = \frac{e^{2z} - 1}{e^{2z} + 1} \]
to $z = \hat{z}, z_{1}$, and $z_{2}$.
This approach is illustrated in Example 76.11.
Ratios of Variable Means
For the ratio ${\mu _{1}}/{\mu _{2}}$ of means for variables $Y_{1}$ and $Y_{2}$, the point estimate is $\overline{y}_{1}/ \overline{y}_{2}$, the ratio of the sample means. The Taylor expansion and delta method can be applied to the function ${y_{1}}/{y_{2}}$ to obtain the variance estimate (Schafer 1997, p. 196)
\[ \frac{1}{n} \left[ {\left( \frac{\overline{y}_{1}}{\overline{y}_{2}^{2}} \right)}^{2} s_{22} - 2 {\left( \frac{\overline{y}_{1}}{y_{2}^{2}} \right)} {\left( \frac{1}{\overline{y}_{2}} \right)} s_{12} + {\left( \frac{1}{\overline{y}_{2}} \right)}^{2} s_{11} \right] \]
where $s_{11}$ and $s_{22}$ are the sample variances of $Y_{1}$ and $Y_{2}$, respectively, and $s_{12}$ is the sample covariance between $Y_{1}$ and $Y_{2}$.
A ratio of sample means will be approximately unbiased and normally distributed if the coefficient of variation of the denominator (the standard error for the mean divided by the estimated mean) is 10% or less (Cochran 1977, p. 166; Schafer 1997, p. 196). | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Cedars Park, Cheshunt
Cedars Park is a historic public park located in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, England. It was originally the site of Theobalds Palace, King James I's favourite residence. The park has received a Green Flag Award every year since 2009, rewarding it for promoting high standards of management for green spaces.
History
Cedars Park is the historic site of the 16th-century Royal Palace of Theobalds, which existed as a smaller estate in the 14th century, and possibly earlier.
Sir William Cecil acquired Theobalds in 1563, and Queen Elizabeth I visited over 15 times between 1564 and 1598. Robert Cecil inherited the Palace and accommodated King James I and his associates on several occasions, including Christian IV of Denmark. In May 1607, the King exchanged Hatfield House for Theobalds. The estate was extended into a grand Royal Palace with a 2500-acre deer park. James I died here in 1625. Charles I rarely used Theobalds Palace and granted the estate to various nobles as an acknowledgement of their services.
The buildings were demolished to support the troops during the Civil War and the estate was eventually sold to the Prescott family in the late 18th century, when new houses were constructed, including The Cedars. In 1820, Theobalds was rented to Sir Henry Meux, who stayed at The Cedars. Admiral of the Fleet Sir Hedworth Meux inherited The Cedars from Valerie, Lady Meux. The grounds were donated to the public in 1919 and opened in 1921.
Cedars Park contains several scheduled monuments, as the site of a magnificent and influential Tudor house (now demolished) with extensive grounds, created by the leading architects, gardeners and craftsmen for Sir William Cecil, and becoming an occasional place for Elizabeth I to reside. Elements of the present park can be identified as probable parts of the original Elizabethan, Jacobean and Georgian gardens and outbuildings.
Management
Cedars Park is managed by Broxbourne Borough Council supported by the Friends of Cedars Park. In 2011, the Council received a £1.89 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Big Lottery Fund to protect and improve Cedars Park, and conserve & promote its heritage. The park was protected as a Queen Elizabeth II Field under Fields in Trust in 2012 to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.
Access
The park is located on Theobalds Lane with pedestrian and vehicle entrances and a free car park on site. Cedars Park is fully wheelchair accessible. | WIKI |
Talk:Samuel Koranteng-Pipim/Archive 1
Resignation speculation and source
Information surrounding Mr. Pipim's resignation should be limited to carefully verified official explanations. Any defamatory speculation should be left out (such as the suggestion of homosexual behavior I removed), especially as this is a living person who is not a public figure. The citation is to Spectrum Magazine, which is not a primary source; should this perhaps be changed to point to the primary source cited by the Spectrum article? Just a thought. Hooverd377 (talk) 15:48, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
* Actually, Wikipedia thrives on secondary sources. Spectrum Magazine has proven quite a reliable source. Spectrum blogs are not so consistent. I agree with caution in reporting about Pipim's resignation. There are primary sources online, such as his actual letter of resignation, etc. Perhaps a link can be provided in External Links so individuals can read it. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 11:49, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
The Resignation information on this page should cite the original, http://campushope.com/resignation/ which broke the news on May 29th. The current source, Spectrum, didn't post the news until May 31st. Quoting the primary source gives wikipedia more credibility. Using a second-hand source like Spectrum who is openly hostile toward the teachings of Samuel Pipim damages Wikipedia credibility. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:43, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
* The "Openly hostile" stance of a Journal does not discredit it necessarily. There probably are hundreds of reputable journals which can be described as "openly hostile" to someone. Spectrum magazine articles and opinion essays usually are carefully documented. They have a very active blog comment/response pattern. Some of the people responding to articles say some important stuff, but their input cannot be used as a reliable, verifiable source. Dr. Pipim held a position of influence within Adventism. He has been strongly supported and strongly opposed. This makes the article about him here at Wikipedia vulnerable. I applaud those who have temporarily protected the article. It allows for everyone to take a breath, review Wikipedia's rules for sources and remember that this is a biography of a living person. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 17:11, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
Blogs and Facebook as Sources
This section has been commented out hopefully until the Wikipedia verifiability of sources can be established for blogs and facebook sources:
<! -- As was noted by a blogger, the resignation letter and statement did not name the gender of the other individual involved. Matthew Gamble, a popular Adventist speaker and writer, took issue with his statement that "others who have always opposed what we stand for will have an additional reason to rejoice." -- >
As you can imagine, in matters of this kind, careful adherence to Wikipedia's protocol is very important. We may need a veteran administrator, or two, to advise on this. The first statement casts a slant to the rumours just by mentioning what has not been said. The Gamble reaction has some validity, I think, but facebook is not a valid source for wikipedia, as far as I know. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 15:52, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Resignation
editprotected On May 29, 2011, CAMPUS reported on its website that Pipim had resigned his employment with the Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists and his ministerial credentials following a "moral failure" while traveling overseas.
please use the above information in the resignation section of this article so as to attribute the primary and direct source of the information, thanks :-)
* Not done, secondary sources are preferred, per WP:PSTS. --Closedmouth (talk) 10:02, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
* Though implied, the three official resignation documents no where mention his "ministerial credentials." CAMPUS broke the news first on May 29, not "Spectrum" (May 31), which was referring to the CAMPUS info. It's better to cite primary sources for readers to check the facts for themselves, instead of speculations from Spectrum blog. Would modify resignation section to read :
* On May 29, 2011, CAMPUS reported on its website that Pipim had resigned his employment with the Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists following a "moral failure" while traveling overseas. His resignation message to his "colleagues in ministry" and CAMPUS staff stated: "Although my passion for youth training and empowerment has not waned, the rest of my life is in God’s hands." HopeAfrique (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:21, 18 June 2011 (UTC).
* I have no problem including the citation to CAMPUS. Spectrum still remains a secondary source. I disagree that Spectrum's contribution is "speculation". In this case, they reported accurately and provided the primary sources on which they based their story. I suggest that we keep both the CAMPUS and the Spectrum sources. Spectrum Magazine has a proven track record of sound, accurate journalism for over forty years. CAMPUS provides the carefully managed face of Pipim's church employer. Their damage control is admirable. Spectrum is a journal at arm's length from church administration. Both views are helpful to our readers here at wikipedia.DonaldRichardSands (talk) 12:53, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
* I agree with both of you. Yes we need to also have the Spectrum source, but we should be careful that everything we use comes from the news articles section and not the comments. I have yet to see any reliable source say Pipim "resigned his ministerial credentials". --Fountainviewkid (talk) 13:11, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
* Hi FVK. I have looked for any mention of Pipin resigning his ministerial credentials and can find nothing. His letter states "This is to notify you of my resignation as Director of Secular Campus Ministry and the employment of the Michigan Conference." The text ought to be edited to reflect this. His ministerial credentials have not been mentioned in this matter. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 16:38, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
* I edited the section to reflect the change. It now mentions his canceling of speaking appointments rather than untrue statements about his credentials. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:56, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
Facebook as a Source on Wikipedia articles
Recent addition to the Resignation section has prompted this section re: Facebook.
We need some veteran editors to help, one more time, on this. The concern of Matthew Gamble's opens a good discussion, I think. But the source is a Facebook account. Is this a valid source? DonaldRichardSands (talk) 17:24, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
The veteran advice is still hoped for. I have edited the Resignation section so that Pipim's quote and Gamble's Facebook statement can be read in a wider context. Note that the Facebook account is not accessible unless one has opened a facebook account. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 18:41, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
* Facebook is not a valid source. It needs to be some kind of article or journal or something that is RS which facebook isn't.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:29, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
* Facebook is a valid source if it is from a notable figure on a public page, which this is. It, of course, has to be used with attribution. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:49, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
* No only if that public figure is the one who the discussion is about. This is a third party source and therefore not reliable. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:59, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
* The third party is attributed, hence, it becomes what he thinks, and his facebook page is a reliable source for what he thinks. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:01, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
It doesn't matter the attribution. If Pipim didn't write it then Facebook isn't reliable for him.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:03, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
* Under what policy? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:04, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
* "Self-published and questionable sources as sources on themselves
Self-published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, especially in articles about themselves, without the requirement that they be published experts in the field, so long as: the material is not unduly self-serving; it does not involve claims about third parties (such as people, organizations, or other entities); it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the subject; there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; the article is not based primarily on such sources. This also applies to pages on social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook." When a well-known, professional researcher writing within his or her field of expertise has produced self-published material, these may be acceptable as sources, so long as his or her work has been previously published by reliable, third-party publications. Editors should exercise caution for two reasons: first, if the information on the professional researcher's blog (or self-published equivalent) is really worth reporting, a reliable source will probably have covered it; secondly, the information has been self-published, which means it has not been subject to independent fact-checking. Self-published sources, such as personal websites and blogs, must never be used as third-party sources about living persons, even if the author is a well-known professional researcher or writer; see WP:BLP. If a third-party source has published the same or substantially similar material, that source should be used in preference to the self-published one. This applies to Gamble. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:09, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

IP's editing
There appear to be several IP's that keep editing this article popping us as "new" editors. I personally think many of the edits are "vandalism" in nature, but I'm putting this out for comment. The removal of whole sections such as in Theology, the addition of "ministerial credential" issues and other word changes I see as trying to insert certain POV into the article. Perhaps we can hold off on editing the article in large amounts until a consensus is reached?--Fountainviewkid (talk) 20:41, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
I also get the feeling that some edits from some IP addresses are calculated to remove important information or source references. Sometimes these edits wrongly remove whole sections or paragraphs, claim to “condense” sections or information, claims to be “trimming peacock language,” rewrites direct quotes, deletes some sources as “unnecessary,” removes listing of Pipim’s works because it is “non-notable item,” etc. I’m not entirely sure whether this is vandalism or not, nor how this vandalism can be established. But one gets the impression from some of these edits that there is deliberate attempt to either promote some agenda represented by those IP addresses or (at the very least) re-cast Pipim as though he were not “mainstream” Adventist.--HopeAfrique (talk) 12:50, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

"The head of the worldwide Adventist church, the General Conference (GC) President, put his weight behind the movement when he spoke to the gathering of some 7,000 attendees at the 2010 GYC meeting.

The above paragraph should not be removed (see discussion under IP’s editing). The paragraph and references show that the movement which was inspired by subject’s ideas and influence (and which was initially ignored or dismissed) has now gained the attention of the head of the worldwide church and the editors of the official magazine of the church—facts that are even attested by critics of the movement.--HopeAfrique (talk) 12:59, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
* The sources cited do not even mention Pipim. They are not relevant to this article and should not be included, and are synthesis at best and simply unsubstantiated violations of the policy on citing items about living persons at worst.

* That paragraph describes the extent of the influence of the movement that was inspired by Pipim’s ideas and philosophy of youth empowerment. The sources cited in the paragraph show that the movement (which was initially dismissed by critics) has now been embraced or recognized by the highest leader and the official magazine of the church, and by many training events outside North America. Paragraph should be retained as part of the BLP.--HopeAfrique (talk) 03:13, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

* Actually, the paragraph is pertinent to the biography, showing that the subject’s theological ideas and philosophy of youth empowerment is being taken seriously by his church and even youth outside North America. I see paragraph as another evidence of subject’s notability (not just in ideas—expressed in his public speaking and writings—but also in his philosophy of youth empowerment—evidenced by the GYC movement he inspired).--HopeAfrique (talk) 01:45, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

That's what the other admins are doing and I think it would be a better course of action than what is currently occurring.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 14:21, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Thank you, Martin, for removing that badly paragraph. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:26, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Martin, you should not have removed that paragraph because there is no consensus for removal. It is supported by the references. It indicates the attitude of SDA Church leadership towards the GYC, which Pipim mentored and supported, and, it reports the growth of GYC overseas. The only change I would make would be to remove the word "large" in the last sentence because it's a little too subjective. -- Kenatipo speak! 21:26, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Good move, Martin. The sources did not support the sweeping claims made. This article needs to become less of an advert. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:04, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Oh look a new IP to object. The sources supported the claims which were not "sweeping".--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:57, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* For what its worth, I agree with the above IPs. I think that gives us four editors who agree with the change. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:36, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* 4 IP's which could be one, versus at least 3 editor users who are clearly separate and not directly connected. I'm sorry but even 4 vs. 3 does not constitute consensus. This is not a vote. And please don't try to canvass more IP's.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:39, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
List of published works
Since Pipim’s theological views generate considerable discussion, and since his philosophy of youth empowerment has inspired grassroots youth movements, any or all his published works should be listed for the benefit of those who may desire to study those works. Ideas--even controversial ideas--in these books merit interest. At the very least, those works that have ISBN numbers or those catalogued in Worldcat should be listed. Contra to some IP edits, I suggest the re-insertion of the list of published works, so that the relevant paragraph (under "Public speaking and writing") reads:
* Pipim has authored a number of books. They include:
* 1995. Searching the Scriptures: A Call to Biblical Fidelity
* 1996. Receiving the Word: How New Approaches to the Bible Impact Our Biblical Faith and Lifestyle
* 1997. In the Spirit of Truth: Key Issues on Biblical Inspiration and Interpretation
* 2000. True to Principle: Radical Discipleship in God's End-Time Church
* 2001. Must We Be Silent: Issues Dividing Our Church
* 2003. Patience in the Midst of Trials and Afflictions
* 2004. The Humility of Christ
* 2004. The Forgotten Grace of Humility - The Cure for Cancer of the Soul
* 2005. Here We Stand: Evaluating New Trends in the Church, General Editor
* 2006. God is Faithful: A Journey of Faith & A Test of Commitment
* 2007. This Is Love: Closer Relationships, Deeper Love, and Higher Spirituality
* 2008. Not for Sale: Integrity in A Culture of Silence
* 2009. Healed Wounds, But Ugly Scars: Choices and Consequences
* 2010. From Ministry to Movement—The Potential of Public Campus Ministry
It's not enough to say he has authored a many books, without listing them.--HopeAfrique (talk) 13:19, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
* On the contrary, wikipedia does not provide lists of non-notable items. Since these books do not meet WP:BOOK, we do not need a list of them. If you think that these are notable books, please write articles on a nice proportion of them to prove notability. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:26, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
* The policy wrongly cited concerns “articles about books and literature in general.” However, the article in question is not about specific books, but about the biography of a living person. The issue at hand is whether that person’s works should be listed as part of his biography.--HopeAfrique (talk) 03:17, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
* Actually, that policy is very pertinent, but wasn't explained well. The issue at hand is whether this list should be included. Wikipedia happens to frown on lists of non-notable items, which this would be if the items it includes are not notable for stand alone articles. Hence, in order to include the list, the items (the works) need to be notable under WP:BOOK. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:28, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
* If policy is not well-explained, we must seek clarification or interpretation by finding out how other biographies have addressed this question. I checked on some Protestant/SDA theologians—past and present. Their publications were listed as part of biography. E.g., for SDA theologians, see entries on J. N. Andrews, James Springer White, Alden Thompson, Richard Rice, Edward Heppenstall, Samuele Bacchiocchi, Desmond Ford, Norm Young, etc. In some cases, even their articles are listed. It seems reasonable to me that one of the things that distinguishes a scholar/theologian is his/her ideas—often found in their writings. Thus, their writings are part of their biographies.--HopeAfrique (talk) 01:54, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
* Dropping in again, the policy is very well explained. WP:OTHERSTUFF is an unacceptable rationale. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:19, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
The bibliography is wholly within policy. From MOS:WORKS: These IPs have no idea what they're talking about. WP:BOOK is a wikiproject. Please refrain from citing policy until you know what you're doing. – Lionel (talk) 02:11, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* Please refrain from citing policy until you know what you're doing.
* Please refrain from biting until you know what you're doing. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:12, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Lionel knows what he's doing. This list should be included in order to bring this biography in line with others of it's same type.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:26, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* Lionel knows what he's doing? That's why he goes around biting new contributors, correct? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:29, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Last I checked Lionel hasn't been blocked for edit warring as we have. Perhaps we should learn something from him.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Unsourced labels and original research
From towards the end of the theology section: His theological views generate considerable interest within his church, with reactions varying according to a person's theological leaning. Some conservative Seventh-day Adventist websites sites tend to promote his views as representing the mainstream Adventist position, while liberal or progressive ones tend to be critical of his views, sometimes dismissing them as relics of “religious fundamentalism." As can be seen, this amounts to original research. At best, the statement "Some conservative Seventh-day Adventist websites sites tend to promote his views as representing the mainstream Adventist position, while liberal or progressive ones tend to be critical of his views, sometimes dismissing them as relics of 'religious fundamentalism.'" should be removed as it is a mischaracterization of the sources. Nowhere does Spectrum or AToday identify themselves as liberal (or progressive). Furthermore, neither of the supposedly "liberal" or "progressive" sites actually uses the words "religious fundamentalism." <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:33, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
* Citation (word used loosely): Conservative sites that are favorable to his view include: “Adventists Affirm”, “Adventist Theological Society”, “Great Controversy.org”, and “AudioVerse”. Examples of liberal or progressive sites that are critical of Pipim's view include, “Spectrum magazine” and “Adventist Today”)
* It should not be too difficult to find a reliable source which refers to Spectrum as "liberal" or "progressive". Or to find such sources which identify the conservative productions mentioned. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 02:19, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
* That would then become WP:SYNTHESIS. What you would need is a reliable source making the connection. Otherwise, it is just an unsubstantiated commentary by wikipedia editors. Great for Spectrum, not so much for wiki. ;) <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:04, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* As there has been no further opinion on this, I have removed the sentence as requested. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:44, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* Ugh, MSGJ. I can give you links. Please don't go around deleting everything after only 2 days. Give me some time and I will get the sources. I'll have to re-add this later I guess with the proper sources when the article in unblocked.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 18:49, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
Unsourced assertion from theology section
Also, at the end of the theology section, this assertion with no source: The varied assessment of his works may be traced to his theological methodology and his stance on issues. This may or may not be true, but it needs a source to be included. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:37, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
* — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:36, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Out of date and unsourced claim of speaking engagements
This from the "Public speaking and writing" section is unsourced and out of date even if true: He is also a frequent speaker at local and international conventions of professionals and business personnel. This includes ASI, Adventist-laymen's Services and Industries a body of Adventist professionals. Since he has resigned in disgrace, he has cancelled all speaking engagements so at the very least the tense needs to be changed to past tense and marked as, preferably, however, it should be simply removed pending a source (there is already too much unsourced material in this article). <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:40, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
* — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:37, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* I don't mean to cause trouble but I just noticed this edit request. I have several links which verify the information that was removed. May I request that the admin look over the sources and if possible insert them in along with the previously removed paragraph? I have found several RS links verifying this information. The first link is courtesy of the Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists (http://www.pacificunionphoto.com/photocatalog.php?pc_id=158&cmd=detail&hash=), the second is in the calendar for an ASI Southern Union event where his name is listed 4 times as a speaker (http://asisouth.startlogic.com/events/event.php?event_id=33). Please let me know if this information is acceptable.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 21:12, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* The links are not WP:RS and are insufficient. It should not be readded. Let's work on removing peacock language, shall we? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:03, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* And why are they not Reliable sources? What kind of source will you accept? Other than maybe an academic journal I can find that same information. Nevertheless, let's let the admin make the decision.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:10, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* I will accept a source from a reliable source. Start with Adventist today or Spectrum''. Furthermore, two small events is insufficient to say "frequent speaker at local and international conventions." <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:27, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Ah, so you pick and choose your sources based on ideology then? The only 2 sources you gave are the same ones Bello would accept, which are definitely "alternative" compared to the mainstream or Conservative SDA sources. That's like only accepting MSNBC to report on Glenn Beck. Oh and these aren't "small events", however if you want I can provide links to 10+ more sources of various events. How many would you like? I can provide them.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:38, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Here’s an additional source, showing paragraph shouldn’t be removed (though tense should be changed to perfect tense). Introducing Pipim as the keynote speaker for the 2006 International ASI convention in Gaylord, Texas, the General Vice-President of ASI, mentioned that Pipim was also the devotional speaker at the 2005 Internation ASI convention, and also gave four reasons why Pipim is appreciated within ASI and youth circles. See, “Tell What Now”. Incidentally, this was one of the sources previously deleted by an IP address. Could it be that some IP addresses deliberately delete sources, enabling them (or others) to later suggest that certain paragraphs must be deleted because of “unsourced assertions.” Just wondering.--HopeAfrique (talk) 04:27, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Google video is not a reliable source, and could possibly be copyvio which we are not allowed to link to. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:28, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* The same ASI keynote address aired on 3ABN is available on the these two sites: and --HopeAfrique (talk) 01:28, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* YouTube is in the same boat as Google Video. Probable copyvio. I would assume yourvideos.net would be the same. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:56, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* The video's are a red herring. There are several other sources which show the same thing. We are basically just trying to provide as many sources as possible since some random IP's are hell bent on deleting significant portions of this article. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:30, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The videos seem to be the only source provided so far. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:37, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Did you miss the ASI link? Or maybe the link from the Pacific Union Conference of SDA's? Oh and the Hope media link was not a video that I posted. Again I can post many more links as well that say the same things.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:41, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
ASI? What's ASI? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:04, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* A leading Adventist organization where Pipim has been a keynote speaker.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:08, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Its not under the disambiguation page at ASI. Why is it notable? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:11, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's notable because he's a speaker there. Remember one need not have a wiki article to achieve notability.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:21, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Notability is not inherited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:22, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* You're right, it's earned. And ASI had earned notability--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:27, 1 July 2011 (UTC).
* How? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:30, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* By meeting the guidelines. Show me how this organization is not notable.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:32, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* No. It doens't work like that. You have to show how it is notable. Notability is not assumed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:34, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Because it is a leading organization, which is made up of thousands of members and business organizations within the SDA church. You read all about it. Adventist Layman's and Services Industries Inc.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:38, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Funny how this "leading organization" doesn't get a single hit from Google News Archives. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:42, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* No, but I could find you several sources on it. The organization is notable for information inside the topic of interest (the SDA church). Inside the church you can find numerous media reports on it.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:45, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Proof? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:52, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Waiting. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:02, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

* That's fine. It remains without sourcing while we wait. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:18, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* That's why we're working on the article. It was protected exactly so things like this could be fixed instead of edit warred over.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:20, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It was protected because users insisted on re-adding unsourced material back into the article without explanation. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:26, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It was protected because a random IP kept trying to remove valid material.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:28, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Okay using Google News I was able to find several linked sources describing the organization ASI. Some are church based others are mainstream media type organizations. From the church based ones we have this link noting the local convention in South Africa, this link which lists the organization along with others , this story from the official Adventist News Network describing ASI in an evangelistic series. Additionally there are non church sites such as this local news story from the USA. This link from a Jamaican newspaper describes the role of ASI is providing business and church growth information. Also this story from a Barbados news source describes the role of religious business and the economy. ASI also helps in health as this news article shows. Finally ASI was big on social needs in Africa as this international report describes. Hopefully this is enough to prove it's notability.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:51, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Here’s another source to buttress the fact that Pipim has been speaker at local and international conventions of professionals and business personnel. He was a keynote speaker at the 2009 “Southern Union ASI convention”. He was also a guest speaker at the “Southern African Union ASI Convention”. In the course of the discussions on this Talk page numerous sources have uncovered. I just hope that none of these will be left out in the article, lest some IP editors resurface again with claims that paragraphs should be removed because they are supposedly not properly sourced.--HopeAfrique (talk) 19:47, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Alma mater
I did a search and could not find any non-wiki sources that were reliable for this. The following sentence, tagged as unsourced, should either be sourced immediately or removed. He holds a degree in engineering from the University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana, where he subsequently served as a research and teaching assistant. If sources are found for the school, then the additional info should still be removed unless a source is found. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:10, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* There are several sources where this information exists. First is, which documents his "ministry". If this isn't acceptable however we have his website where he lists his credentials . Yes this is self-sourced but we can use a biography of a person to say where they got their degree unless there is contrary evidence. There is also this source which lists him along with other academic leaders on various religious topics. Again let's let the admin make the decision based off an analysis of the sources.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:14, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* His website would be a reliable source for where he went to school. As such, I ask that the admin add the drpipim.org website and still remove the additional "where he subsequently..." part. Thanks for finding that source, not sure how I missed it, Fountainviewkid! <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:23, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* I've added the reference. I'm not sure if there is agreement to remove the second part of that sentence so I've left it in for now. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:48, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* Please remove the second paragraph as well. Thanks! <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:57, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* Please do NOT remove the paragraph. We have provided several sources which are reliable and relate to the topic. Whatever else you need ask and I can provide. This is a better way to reach consensus than arbitrary removal of anything any random IP wishes to question.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:29, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I apologize. I did not mean to ask to remove the paragraph. Simply the second part of the sentence which includes unsourced fluff about assignments. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:34, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Please do not remove the second part either. It is not "unsourced fluff". It is reliable information about his work during his academic time.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:35, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Reliably not sourced information. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:43, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

* Huh? How does that make an organization notable? And what does notability have to do with reliability? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:04, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's notability is based on it's connections is speakers, it's variety in the church, it's ability to have the rights to the various speakers messages, and it's position as a leading media organization.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:05, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

* However long it takes is not your job decide. That's for the admin, which you definitely are not.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:19, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Yes, but taking so long to post a rationale as to how this organization is notable would make most incredulous. Even if it is notable, that doesn't explain how it is a WP:RS. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:26, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Again it's coming. It's not your job to determine how long it should or should not take.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:29, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
All right. So I have the link that discussed where he went to school. His website is still available in the cached format. Here's the link. The statement in the article is an exactly quote from the source pretty much, just as it should be. Hopefully this clears up the complains about unreliable sources.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:10, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* There's also this link which says the same .--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:11, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Other links for this information include here, this book/paper , this link to one of his ministries , and his article in Spectrum Magazine, which you've admitted is a reliable source here . --Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:14, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The Spectrum article is the only reliable source. On what page does it note his work as a "teaching and research assistant" which is what we're trying to source here? I didn't see it. Anonymous websites like http://www.the-ten-commandments.org/ and http://www.womenministrytruth.com/ are not WP:RS. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:51, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* He and some of the other websites note it. And it's not your job to say what is and is not RS. That's the job for the admins. Right now this information is credibly sourced and should stay. As long as these sources get included.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:54, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* You do not get to unilaterally declare sources reliable. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:02, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Neither do you. Spectrum is a reliable source. His website is a reliable source for his education. Reliable sources say exactly what is in the article. Why the confusion?--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:11, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Neither of which say anything about his research and teaching assistant, or at least that I could see. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:49, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

* There are sources for his being on the BRICOM as well. The first is the listing of his biography . There is also his biography on this Religious Media Network which mentions his service. Finally this church website notes the same information . This information does exist.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:23, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* None of those seem like reliable sources for a self-serving claim like serving on BRICOM. Did you check the SDA Yearbook? If it exists, it should be listed there. HopeVideo is not in any way credible, neither is an individual church website. Self-published sources are insufficient for a self-serving claim. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:26, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* If we accept his website for the claim of where he went to school we can accept it for what committee's he has served on. We also have the media source. They should be reliable sources. We'll let the admin see.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:29, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* That's because saying he went to school at "x" is not controversial or self-serving. Saying he served on an important committee like BRICOM without any other reliable source saying it is self serving. That is the difference. To the admin, please view the "religious media ministry" website's about page before approving it as a reliable source. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:31, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* The information is verified and valid. We have him saying it and other reliable organizations listing it on their biography about him. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:38, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* Neither HopeVideo or that random small church is a reliable organization. There is likely no credible editorial oversight over their websites. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:26, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* And why do you say there is n oversight and that they aren't reliable? We have Pipim saying it and other biographies backing him up. The information is verified and valid.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:40, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Besides the sources mentioned by Fountainviewkid, Pipim’s name is also listed in the Introduction to the Handbook of Seventh-day Adventist Theology [2000], which is volume 12 of the official “Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary” series. He is named as one of the BRICOM members who reviewed the scholarly articles contained in the volume.--HopeAfrique (talk) 04:29, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Thanks Hope. That's a physical hard cover that I don't currently own. It's nice to also have a print source in addition to the electronic ones. It would make sense BRICOM would appear there.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:37, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* I just looked that up and did not see it, Hope. Are you sure you are not making that up? We need verification through a scan or something of that sort to verify that it is actually there. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:30, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Look at p.v., where all the the names of all the BRICOM members are listed. Pipim's name is there.--HopeAfrique (talk) 21:35, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the template. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:51, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* I don't have a copy of the book, so I can't verify it. Perhaps the other IP will be able to confirm whether they found it or not.... <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:02, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I have seen copies of this book. Here are links that describe the existence of the book. For example a location on Amazon where the book can be purchased, the description of the book from the committee which produced it where Pipim served , and an article from the official journal of the church describing the book's creation . These should be verification enough. If not I can provide everything but the physical book itself (though I can be in possession of it within a week or so).--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:28, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I know the book exists. We just don't know whther Hope is telling the truth when he says that BRICOM members are listed and Pipim's name is there. I believe my church has a copy and I will check it then. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:35, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I can do likewise but it will take a few days.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:36, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Pipim's official bio indicates he served on BRICOM. Hope mentions it. I checked from the "Handbook . . ." where his name is listed alongside the other BRICOM members who produced the book. The reference page is "v" (Roman letter "v"). IP 209.32 was wondering if I made it up and IP 50.72 not sure if Hope is telling the truth. Could you confirm your findings to us? Thanks.--HopeAfrique (talk) 06:01, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
* Oh, I also found two additional sources. The 1999 and 2000 “Seventh-day Adventist Yearbook” (the official book with the names of all denominational employees) list Pipim as a member of the BRICOM, alongside the other members whose names also appear on p.v. of the “Handbook of Adventist Theology”: See, --HopeAfrique (talk) 06:03, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
* The two additional sources will work. I looked at the Handbook, and I did not see Pipim's name listed (or a list at all) but that is irrelevant as other sources have been found. Admin, please add the final two references in. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:04, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
From the method section
The following sentence appears under "Method:" Scholars who embraced the church's historical positions, however, were more supportive of the book. I take exception to the "embraced the church's historical positions" part. That portion of the sentence should be removed. Perhaps to "Some scholars, however, were supportive of the book." <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:18, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* Citation: Besides the favorable review of the book by the Director of the Biblical Research Institute of the General Conference, George W. Reid, “Book Review: Receiving the Word,” in Ministry, December 1997, 30-31, Receiving the Word was also endorsed by the following prominent thought leaders of the church: Norman R. Gulley, Paul Gordon, Raoul Dederen, Clifford Goldstein, Alberto R. Timm, William H. Shea, Keith Burton, C. Raymond Holmes, Artur A. Stele, and Randall W. Younker. Their endorsements appear at the back of the book, where Raoul Dederen sums up their evaluation of the book: "An amazingly clear and competent presentation which will supply Seventh-day Adventists with a reasoned statement of their own position and challenge liberals to reexamine their fundamental presuppositions. I wish it the widest circulation."
* How about if the term "embraced the church's fundamental beliefs". The SDA church has a clear set of beliefs and a spectrum on how widely those are "embraced". It's an openly known fact that Pipim's supporters are those which "embrace" the church's beliefs (which are generally in line with it's historical positions). --Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:31, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* No its not, Spectrum writers represent the mainstream of the church, in my opinion. Your opinion differs. Hence, unless there is a reliable source, it is unacceptable to include such opinion. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:24, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Don't know what Spectrum has to do here. It's clear that certain SDA leaders embrace the "official" position more than others. Those leaders just happen to be the same ones that endorsed Pipim and who are listed above. Additionally the church's "historical positions" are not really that disputed, especially since there is even a page for "historic Adventist" which embrace the church's "historic positions".--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:47, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Spectrum writers are not usually mainstream Perhaps in Spectrum's early days. But Spectrum's writers usually address mainstream practices and challenge them. This has been Spectrum's strength. Avant-garde Adventism, perhaps. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 01:40, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* So we have a variance of opinion. This highlights why reliable sources to make the claim are crucial, and it should not be included and should not use synthesis to get to it. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:25, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Variance of opinion? You mean one new IP who disagrees with the other editors and is trying to remove anything that isn't sourced at the highest levels...ironically right along with a specific POV.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:41, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Wikipedia needs verification. Particularly since there is disagreement, we need a source to lay it out without engaging in WP:SYNTHESIS. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:31, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Despite its perceived strengths, 'Spectrum does NOT represent mainstream of the church.'' 'The Seventh-day Adventist church's position dissociating itself from the Association of Adventist Forums and its magazine, Spectrum, is found in General Conference President’s statement at the 1984 Annual Council. See "Association of Adventist Forums Report (See also, Myron K. Widmer, "1984 Annual Council--Part III," Adventist Review, November 15, 1984, pp. 4-5).--HopeAfrique (talk) 00:48, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* This is irrelevant. What matters is that the source provided is SYNTHESIS at best and is insufficient for the claims made. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:06, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The source is not synthesis. It explains what Spectrum's relationship is with the church. That is relevant as Spectrum has written a lot on Pipim, including sourcing for this article.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:15, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* What does that have to do with "Scholars who embraced the church's historical positions, however, were more supportive of the book." ???? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:17, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* You need evidence that certain positions are the church's "historical positions"? If so look at the Historic Adventist page or the 28 Fundamental Beliefs. Also look at the issues with the scholars are supporting. You will see that they were the ones which support this book. And no its not synthesis.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:31, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* That is textbook synthesis. You need a WP:RS to make the connection for you. We don't research and create conclusions that were not laid out by reliable sources on wikipedia. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:32, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* This is not synthesis. These sources are reliable that we have posted on here. These conclusions are laid out the sources themselves.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:36, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It is combining multiple reliable sources to create a statement that is not supported by any reliable sources. That is the textbook definition of synthesis. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:38, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It is not combining multiple sources to create a statement. It is using multiple source to back up and provide the background and information to a statement. There is a difference.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:43, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Please provide a quotation and link to the reliable source which says "scholars who supported the church's historic positons were supportive of the book." <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:51, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Not everything on here has to be exactly quotes from other sources. The point is to get the main points, ideas, or thoughts by using the sources. Otherwise that would be "excessive quoting". The sources provide those ideas without using those exact words. Kinda like Pipim's ministerial credentials and the gender of the other.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:54, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I didn't ask you to put it in the article, I asked you to provide evidence that a reliable source makes the connection you want to include in the article. Please do so under WP:BURDEN. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:03, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The reliable sources describe the positions that Pipim holds, that the thought leaders hold and that the Spectrum group holds. They then endorse various positions.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:04, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Quote? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:16, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Again this will take some time to compile. I have to re-read it to find the specific quote I'm looking for. I don't have it offhand.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:19, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Waiting. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:30, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Well have a little bit of patience. I know you're trying to keep me from being able to find the sources by starting arguments with me about every source on here, so it will take some time. Wikipedia sources don't just get posted in a few minutes. Have patience. Give time for consensus. Don't be in such a rush. You love to selectively choose and preach certain guidelines while ignoring others.
* This article has been contentious for a while. You've edit warred on these sections without sources previously, you've had plenty of time to add sources, as the other IP suggested below. But, we're waiting. Let's see these sources. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:35, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Yes you have engaged in edit wars. That and your pals. Just like you're engaging in edit war behaviors on several other articles (GYC for example). The sources will come. The admin will decide when the deadline has passed not you. You are an IP not an admin. You don't get to make those decisions.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:37, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I noted your edit warring to say that the sections have been contentious for a while. There has been plenty of time to add these sources. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:46, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I would note you also have a history of edit warring. I am working on adding these sources. If you were truly working for the good of the article and consensus you would allow me the time. I am not asking for a month or many days. I also ask for a little time. Be it a few hours or a few days. But remember. It is the admin that makes this decision not me and definitely not you.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* We're waiting for the sources. If there are sources, the paragraph needs to be written over again, anyway. Which is why it is better off deleted and then reposted. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:54, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* And you will get the sources. If you weren't so focused with deleting half the article I'd have the time to find them. It is not better to delete it. It is better to edit it. Why delete and repost when you can simply reform?--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:57, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Because it is not sourced and the tone is unencyclopedic anyway. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:01, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* That's your opinion which an admin will decide.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:06, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Thank you for pointing out the obvious. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:15, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
All right so I have the link talking about Pipim's views and the church's positions. This material comes largely from A research paper from a conference written by Dr. Timm. It can be found here or if the other one loads to slowly. Either way they are both the same and should not have copyright troubles. Here are some reactions to the book, and , as well as a shorter article by Timm over the whole controversy. Other reviews which describe the church's "historical positions" and Pipim are here &. We also have the official statement on Spectrum from the SDA church above.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:38, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* That does not source the claims without engaging in synthesis. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:49, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Nope the claims are there. You just have to read the source to see that, which you obviously didn't.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Please provide the quotation and page numbers then. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:02, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* They might be coming. Patience. It's not your job to judge these things, it's the admins.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:10, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Admins don't have special powers over content, and any editor can challenge anything. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Another from the method section
Besides CAMPUS (Center for Adventist Ministry to Public University Students) and the Emmanuel Institute of Evangelism, Michigan Conference's outreach school, Pipim also regularly teaches intensive courses on hermeneutics to students enrolled at, AFCOE (Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism), ARISE (A Resource Institute for Soul-winning and Evangelism), and LIFE (Lay Institute for Evangelism), supporting institutes run by Adventist supporting organizations. This is marked as not sourced and is puffery anyway. As such, it should be removed. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:20, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* Again we can use his biography for this information or, or even which describes his leadership in various organizations.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:42, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* His official biography is insufficient for such sweeping claims. If it is included, a link should be included to the website of each organization which lists him under faculty or a WP:RS noting each organization. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:30, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Hmmm that's funny. You said Spectrum is a reliable source. I use Spectrum as a reliable source and you complain about my sourcing. Notice I listed a variety of sources. You conveniently chose to attack the one which was less reliable than the other 2. These organizations don't exactly have lists of "faculty" yet or include him since he's operates more as a "visiting" scholar. Nevertheless the information is reliably sourced depending on which source you choose.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:44, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* The Spectrum link you provided does not make the claims that are being challenged here. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:32, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* If his official biography is "insufficient," as per IP editor, allow for additional sources, instead of calling for the removal. There are sources that show he is a guest lecturer in some of the supporting institutes. For example, the “AFCOE” website and their “2009 Handbook” mention Pipim as a guest lecturer. Similarly, “ARISE” mentions him as an adjunct professor. I'm sure other editors may be able to look for additional sources to back information from his official biography.--HopeAfrique (talk) 01:19, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* The "Spectrum" link provides information about some of the challenged claims such as his positions in various organizations (i.e. CAMPUS). Additionally Hope provided examples where the institutions do list him.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:03, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
In that case, I suggest it be edited as follows: In addition to his, now resigned, position at CAMPUS (Center for Adventist Ministry to Public University Students), Pipim wasa guest lecturer at the Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism in 2009. That is what we have sources for at this point. The Spectrum link and either of the AFCOE sources will work for this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:49, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Not a bad idea but instead of "now resigned" how about we say "former". To me that sound clearer and is still true and verifiable. Also we should keep the information about those other organizations in.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:59, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Fine by me:
In addition to his former position at CAMPUS (Center for Adventist Ministry to Public University Students), Pipim was a guest lecturer at the Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism in 2009.
* Maybe also link to Amazing Facts. Admin, please make the change. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:01, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Yes please add the citations in. I request that you not remove portions of the article, however.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:03, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Here is the latest version now including ARISE using this source:
In addition to his former position at CAMPUS (Center for Adventist Ministry to Public University Students), Pipim was a guest lecturer at the Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism in 2009 and has also taught at ARISE Institute. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:47, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I still don't support cutting that much. Let's add the sources but keep it basically how it is.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The rest is not sourced. Per WP:BLP:
* Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.
* Please remove this . <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:05, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
Discussion as to whether documents posted anonymously to Google Docs can be linked to under WP:COPYVIO
* You forgot ARISE. Hope found a list of sources you can post. And I think a few others.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:07, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* That seems to be WP:COPYVIO. How do we show that it is not? The AFCOE website and the Spectrum article are the good sources we have... <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:10, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* A school's handbook is not a WP:COPYVIO. We have used school handbooks and bulletin's numerous times.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:12, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I realize it is not a copyvio, if the school posted it to Google Docs. But the links given have no indication of who uploaded them. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:14, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's the school handbook or bulletin. Handbooks and bulletins are reliable sources and are not violations, because they can be accessed by the public. Show me somewhere where we can't use college handbooks.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:29, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* That is not true. It doesn't matter if it can be accessed by the public, is should not be posted to the internet unless the party that posted it owns the rights to it. Unless you can show the handbooks were <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:35, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Show me where college handbooks can't be used. I have look I have found no place which prohibits there use as reliable sources.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:42, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Nobody disputes that they are reliable sources. They just aren't supposed to be linked to if they are copyvios, which these Google Docs uploads seem to be. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* A school handbook is not a copyright violation.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It is if posted by someone who didn't have permission in writing to post it. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:02, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's a school handbook. That's a reliable source. We could use a hard copy citation if you need.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:03, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Are you in possession of a hard copy? If not, then we can't use a hard copy. I agree, the school handbook is a reliable source. We just can't rely on some anonymous google docs user who posted it as a reliable source. Even if it is actually the school's handbook, it is probably copyvio and can't be linked. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:15, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The School's handbook is not a copyright violation. I can attain posession of the desired item though again not in this exact second.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:18, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Nobody said a school's handbook is a copy vio. It is, however, a copy vio when posted by an annoymous party to the internet, and THAT cannot be used or linked to. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:20, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The handbook is a relevant, and valid source.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:22, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Nobody said it isn't. A copy vio edition of it, however, is not. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:23, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* A handbook is not a copyright violation.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:24, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It is when published online by someone who didn't have permission, in writing, to do so. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:28, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* A handbook is a reliable source. The statement comes from the handbook.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:30, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Do you have a hard copy that you're reading off of? Please quote from it. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:31, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I don't have to quote from the hard copy.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:35, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* So what are you quoting from? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:44, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The Handbook.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:46, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* And where did you access this handbook? How can it be verified? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's in print or I think we can find it online outside of Google Docs.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Please point out where online a non-copyvio version of it is available. Otherwise, please confirm that you are reading from a hard copy. We cannot do things based on copy vios. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I could say I'm reading from a hard copy and make up a source that sounds reliable. You don't know. Just like an 4 IP's could be one and we wouldn't know. I can however find the source, but again I need a few seconds to do such.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:56, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* So are you confirming that you do not posses a hard copy? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:57, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I have neither confirmed nor denied. Though I could speak an untruth and you would not know. Much as you could do the same when claiming you have 4 IP's agreeing with you.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:02, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Okay so I see the situation with the ARISE bulletin. When you search and try to open up a PDF of it (which looks like it will work) it takes you to the website but says it can't be found. If however you simply click "Quick View" the PDF handbook pops right out through Google Docs. We do know however that a handbook was there and it had Pipim in it. ARISE is going through changes so that's why the handbook probably isn't up. I was able to solve the problem though by going to another ARISE handbook (perhaps a different year). This link opens to a PDF which lists the "adjunct instructors" one of whom is "Dr. Samuel Koranteng-Pipim". Hopefully this clears everything up.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:44, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* What makes us think that http://www.mission-extreme.org/, a rather random website, had permission to post the handbook? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's the coursebook and the Handbook. Mission Extreme is a partner of ARISE. They work together on classes/credits and stuff. This is the handbook and it says Pipim is an adjunct professor. It's legal to be there. Until an admin says otherwise it's a reliable source.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:49, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Proof? Mission Extreme does not even have an about page to read about them (or at least none that I saw), please provide documentation for their claim that they are a partner of ARISE and authorized by ARISE to post their handbook. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:01, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Here's your proof .--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:09, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Thank you. I will add Arise to the edit request. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:45, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Finally we agreed on something. See how much nicer that is?--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Youth empowerment
This dream became a reality in 2002, when GYC was inaugurated at Pine Springs Ranch, California. This is unsourced and should be removed as peacock language anyway. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:29, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* This is a true statement that can be sourced. It's true "the dream" could be considered "peacock" but that could easily be edited to "Pipim's dream came to fulfillment"...in 2002... The sources for GYC can be found here and the connection with Pipim here .--Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:36, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* Unencyclopedic language, perhaps. But peacock? I'm not seeing it. - SudoGhost™ 04:42, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* There are sources. For example, documenting the history of the first seven years of GYC, the official 388-page GYC book “For This Purpose” clearly states Pipim’s critical role in the formation of the movement that was inaugurated in 2002 (pp. 2-4; 156). Besides his other messages, the book also includes the entire sermon delivered by Pipim during the inauguration of GYC at Pine Springs Ranch (pp. 28-45). See Sikhululekile Hlatshwayo, Justin Kim, and Stephanie Quick, eds., For this Purpose: A Compilation of Sermons and Presentations from GYC. (Generation of Youth for Christ, 2008); ISBN<PHONE_NUMBER>-10-0. The book fleshes out what was briefly mentioned in [3” and on p. 14 of [4].--HopeAfrique (talk) 04:53, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
"Why" and "Excellence" Bible lectures
This section contains exactly one (1) source which does not substantiate the assertions in the section. The assertions that are unsourced include "Since 2006, Pipim's name has become well-known in university circles of Africa," "imploring students to be part of the solution in transforming the African situation, Pipim insists that there is no reason to wait until after school," and most of the rest of the paragraph. I would ask that it be removed pending the finding of more sources with a brief (one sentence) summary of the source given included under the "liberating the african mind" section. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:33, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
* It appears that some of the sources to an older version were blanked out in the possible vandalism by certain IP addresses. These “edited” versions were then subsequently tagged as needing references. (See concerns raised under “IP editing”). I would suggest that we either retain the current version while efforts are made to improve upon it with additional sources, or we revert to the version that existed before “edits” by <IP_ADDRESS>.--HopeAfrique (talk) 18:42, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* That is irrelevant. The fact is the section, as it currently exists, is not sourced. As this is a biography of a living person, any material that is not sourced and is challenged must be removed. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:01, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* Rather than simply requesting a "removal" of material it might be better to allow others to add the sources in. I suggest holding of on removing whole sections until the debate is settled. One new IP shouldn't=consensus.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:15, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* This sentence is a large cause of the peacock and puffery issues plaguing this article. It needs to be removed until such sourced can be found, and at such time, it should be rewritten from a neutral point of view. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:22, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* Rather than removal this section needs reformation. It can be worked on and can have many more reliable sources added in. We should wait before going to extreme cutting lengths.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:32, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* WP:UNSOURCED says that the removal of unsourced content is not on an immediate timeline. You may remove any material lacking a reliable source that directly supports it. How quickly this should happen depends on the material and the overall state of the article. Editors might object if you remove material without giving them time to provide references. Given the overall state of the article (currently at Full protection), this should not happen quickly, as full protection occurs when editors have not discussed changes to an article to the point that the entire article needs to be locked to promote discussion. Editors wishing to keep the contentious information in the article should, within a reasonable timeframe, find sources to back up the content. - SudoGhost™ 01:50, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Thanks Sudo. That is exactly what I'm trying to do. On the other edits I've been able to find reliable sources that can be added for the various statements. The information in the paragraph is not exactly "contentious", except one newly editing IP has objected to it. Because it's a whole paragraph it would be easier to simply work on it once the article becomes unprotected. Until that point I can suggest sources but it's hard because it's not just one or two sentences. That is why I think any action on this particular paragraph should not occur until multiple editors get a chance to work on it. I can, however, begin posting sources.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:10, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
This article has been contentious for a while as well as removal of this section. There has been weeks, that's a reasonable time frame. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:32, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* If no sources can be found by the time full protections ends, then I would agree with the removal of the content. That gives others a reasonable amount of time to find sources for the contentious information. Immediate removal is not required, as there is no deadline. - SudoGhost™ 02:39, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* See below for the sources. As I said the IP will definitely challenge them, but we need time to work them in while editing the paragraph. In the meantime these sources should be enough to keep the entire paragraph from being removed.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:47, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* It may help if you started a sandbox, copied the paragraph (or however long it is) into the sandbox, and added references to it there, and then share the sandbox's location with us here, so we can discuss the information and we'll have an idea of what will be sourced and how it will look. - SudoGhost™ 05:03, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Good idea. The thing is I've never done a sandbox but I have some "adviser/mentors" who could give me some tips. We still have a week or so till the article is free so that gives us some time. Just so long as it doesn't get deleted we should be good. Thanks for the tips Sudo.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:40, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
All right so I found many sources that could be inserted into the article which can back up the content. Of course the paragraph need editing but I'll simply give some of the sources. There's no need to go to the extremes the new IP is suggesting. For example the quote about "chicken and eagles" can be linked to an African news article, and Pipim's own sermons ,. His work with ALIVE focusing on the African mindset can be linked to his site and a Journal article discussing the work of ALIVE & Pipim on pg. 12. The information on the "WHY" and "Excellence" series can be sourced here or. While you may not accept all these sources, at least some of them could be added to the paragraph to strengthen it.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:34, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* I agree. Instead of “removing” material, it might be better to allow others to add the sources in. For example, a version of Pipim's “Why” lecture series on university campuses was aired on Amazing Discoveries TV channel as “Why? Questions Demanding Answers”. One can also find references to his “Excellence” series at Audioverse:, , , , , , and .--HopeAfrique (talk) 05:14, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Good idea about the draft. Per WP:SUB see Talk:Samuel Koranteng-Pipim/Why and Excellence. – Lionel (talk) 06:56, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* This seems like a better way to go.--HopeAfrique (talk) 01:30, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* Please go ahead and remove this unsourced section until the sandbox version is ready. Thank you. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:03, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* No please do not remove this item. Feel free to add in these valid references, but don't remove the section. We don't need to destroy this article.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:14, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* As it currently exists in either version, it doesn't (wouldn't) add anything to the article anyway. It is not destroying this article to remove it, but simply removing information that is not sourced and not written in wikipedia's tone anyway. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:16, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* This information is relevant and needs to stay in the article. It is sourced and we can source it some more. Also it's being worked on and it's not that far outside of the appropriate tone. A few tweaks would be better than taking a chainsaw do this article as the random IP keeps trying to do.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:26, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Then please create a suitable version in sandbox. Otherwise, it needs to go as it is unsourced. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:30, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's not unsourced. We have several sources here for these statements. Also a sandbox is being worked on which I believe is including other sources in addition to these.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:34, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Wrong. Have you even looked at the sandbox? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:36, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Yes I have and the sources are going in there.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:41, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The sandbox has only added one additional source that is not marked for being insufficient in some way. That additional source does not even mention Pipim. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Who's judging what is "insufficient"? One IP does not get to determine the guideline for wikipedia. Especially one who may masquerade as others. Several of the sources I posted mentioned Pipim.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The point remains that the one at the sandbox is no better than the current one. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:55, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's being worked on. Wikipedia is a "progressive" encyclopedia in the sense that things constantly get changed and updated. This takes some time though and won't happen overnight.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:56, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
The parts that are sourced can easily be readded. that is not an argument to keep unsouced material. See WP:BURDEN. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:59, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* What material exactly is unsourced?--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:01, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Everything that isn't sourced by the lone source. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:13, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Wow that was VERY specific. Thanks for your help.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:17, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It certainly was. Unfortunate that such a large amount of information is unsourced. Do you need it laid out better for you? How's this:
Since 2006, Pipim's name has become well-known in university circles of Africa because of his unique one-week Bible Lecture Series, notably his “WHY” and “Excellence” series. These lectures grew out of presentations he first gave to different groups in the United States, but which he now adapts for students, faculty, and staff on African university campuses. Not sourced. Pipim considers the “Why” and “Excellence” Bible lecture series as his personal contribution to the intellectual and moral transformation of the African people. Believing that the “African mindset” is the problem, and not the “African mind,” Pipim's lectures his audiences to think differently, take responsibility for the destiny of their lives, their institutions and their nations. He frequently tells his audiences to “change the world, by first being changed.” Not sourced. Imploring students to be part of the solution in transforming the African situation, Pipim insists that there is no reason to wait until after school. “If not now, we're late,” he says. He passionately believes that the change that Africa needs today can be (or must be) brought about by its young people. Not sourced. The titles of the “Why” lectures are rhetorical in nature, providing biblical solutions to everyday questions he considers relevant to students and to the larger African society. Not sourced. The change Pipim is promoting is one which moves Africans from the “chicken mindset to eagle mindset,” from mediocrity to excellence. He derives the chicken/eagle metaphor from the statement by James E. K. Aggrey (1875–1927), one of his esteemed African role-models: “My people of Africa, we were created in the image of God, but men have made us think that we are chickens, and we still think we are, but we are eagles. Stretch forth your wings and fly! Don't be content with the food of Chickens.” Not sourced. (Source for quotation in sandbox but not for Pipim's usage of it) As the title of the “Excellence” series suggests, Pipim invites Africans to aim high, to strive for excellence in all aspects of life—academic, professional, and spiritual.[45][non-primary source needed] For example in his lecture titled "The Need for Excellence" or “Shine Like Gold” (here, “gold” is a metaphor for such desirable virtues as diligence, integrity, selflessness, simplicity, compassion, patience, kindness, and others), he urges his fellow Africans: “Don't lose your gold; don't substitute brass for gold; and don't be content with anything less than gold.” Not sourced or not reliably sourced. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:27, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* You ignored the body or sources I compiled about these statements. These statements are sourced. Below I have re pasted my original post with some of the sources which you claim don't exist.
Of course the paragraph need editing but I'll simply give some of the sources. There's no need to go to the extremes the new IP is suggesting. For example the quote about "chicken and eagles" can be linked to an African news article, and Pipim's own sermons ,.

* I did exactly what you did in the request.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:18, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I didn't 'make the edit request. But fine, here goes:
In lieu of the above, vague, edit request. I would like to ask that the paragraphs and statements above which are noted to be without sourcing be removed, without prejudice to future addition should proper sourcing be found. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:26, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The statements have sourcing. Additionally we have proposed additional reliable sources. This has already been discussed. No need to make a repeat edit request just because the first one got denied. Here I have re pasted my original post with some of the sources which you claim don't exist.Of course the paragraph need editing but I'll simply give some of the sources. There's no need to go to the extremes the new IP is suggesting. For example the quote about "chicken and eagles" can be linked to an African news article, and Pipim's own sermons , .

* Thanks for the insult. Perhaps I should report you like you would me? Any serious editor might stop hiding behind an IP maybe (that or possible more than one?) Honestly I don't know. Let's hope you're all independent. The integrity of the process needs to stay preserved.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:07, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Why do you keep bringing up the fact that I am an IP? IP editors have just the same right to edit as you do, sorry that bothers you so much. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:44, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

* The requesting IP's requets have been denied and the IP has been found to be a sock .--Fountainviewkid (talk) 20:46, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Admin removing valid references
I noticed that an administrator recently removed a whole large section from the article which had several references and was going to receive more. The section was in "Youth empowerment" and described Pipim in relationship to the GYC and GC. I would ask that any administrators which are acting on this article please delay removing any sections until a proper discussion can be had. This is important to allow time for those of us working to strengthen the article to find and suggest proper sources which can be inserted into the article. That is a better way than simply cutting. This also occurred in the "Theology" section discussing ASI. If these don't get re-added now we can wait and once the page is unprotected we should be able to have the proper references to put those paragraphs back in.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 14:19, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* I add my voice to the above. Besides the relevant and compelling sources deleted, there are additional sources that establish the close connection between Pipim (via CAMPUS) and GYC. Even his letter of resignation addressed to his “Colleagues in ministry, etc.”, assumes the general knowledge that CAMPUS (which he founded and directed), is “the birth place, headquarters, and sponsor of GYC.” See also a response by one of “GYC’s founders and second President”.--HopeAfrique (talk) 02:03, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* If you want content added back create a new section, add editprotected, and type your addition with sources.– Lionel (talk) 23:06, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
More sources to be added later
I have several reliable sources that should be added to this article to strengthen it especially which relate Pipim and GYC. Maybe these could go into the sandbox or something. One source which could be used is this news story the magazine of an Adventist University. I used the cached version because the website was having trouble, though this magazine is also in print so either option is available. GYC also lists Pipim as one of their presenters and describes his work, which I think could go very nice in this section. Pipim's also wrote an article which appears in several of his books of his connection with the GYC movement.It can be found in several places, but the easiest link was to his website here. Additionally both these article from Spectrum Magazine (which the IP sees as a reliable source) mention Pipim's work with GYC and note him as one of the "founders". Finally this article from Adventist Today describes Pipim and GYC specifically on the role the two have played in relationship to each other.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 14:58, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Later isn't going to cut it with this many IPs targeting the article and an admin who is quick to change the article. – Lionel (talk) 23:09, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* Well I don't know where to begin. Especially on a fully protected article. I've never used sandbox before. Hope has though so basically I'm doing the job of providing sources and letting Hope insert them in. The admin has also been (somewhat) helpful in adding them in as well. Too bad he has an insane 2 day arbitrary deadline.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 23:20, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
Please remove this
I don't know how to ask. From the Theology program
* Following the publication of his first two books (in 1995 and 1996), Pipim emerged as a serious theological thinker, albeit a polarizing figure in his church. This fact is illustrated by the 14 comments from the leading church scholars that appear on the back cover of his first two books. For example, in the debate over women's ordination, Roy Gane, then Assistant Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Near Eastern Languages at the church's leading theological institution at Andrews University, wrote the following concerning Pipim's Searching the Scriptures (1995): “Whether or not a reader agrees with all of the author's interpretations or conclusions, several characteristics of this work make it helpful for focusing discussion and for challenging thinking. These include: its isolation of central questions, its consistent reasoning regarding these questions, and its careful search for authoritative principles through investigating a broad base of biblical data.” Similarly, Randall W. Younker, then Director of the PhD/ThD Program the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University, endorsed Pipim's Receiving the Word (1996) in these words: “Koranteng-Pipim represents a growing number of young, perceptive, Bible-believing scholars who, while not afraid to `call it as they see it,' present challenging issues with a spirit of love and compassion. He correctly perceives that the key issue that causes division among many of us is how we view God's Word and the way we interpret it. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to be aware of the critical issues that are confronting our church in these days just prior to our blessed Lord's return.” His theological views generate considerable interest within his church, with reactions varying according to a person's theological leaning. Some conservative Seventh-day Adventist websites sites tend to promote his views as representing the mainstream Adventist position, while liberal or progressive ones tend to be critical of his views, sometimes dismissing them as relics of “religious fundamentalism.”[7] — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:18, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Why do you feel this should be removed? Simply asking isn't sufficient reason. - SudoGhost™ 23:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Because its a bunch of opinion withoutcitations, and is very opinionated as well.
* Would you like some more sources? First there already are sources in the article which provide this information. I can however provide many many sources on this. For example the book which Pipim edited titled "Here We Stand" contains chapters about key issues in the church. Dr. Younker in on record endorsing. If you want I can post the citation. I don't have a scanner so I'm not sure I can scan it but I can post everything else. I can also post links to where it would exist online so you can see it's the same. Would that be acceptable?--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:06, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
I agree with the above. Please remove the unsourced opinion. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:59, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
Another IP? Wow what a shock. How do we know whether or not these IP's are the same or different. There is no need to remove these statements. There are sources for them and I can add more sources. I speak especially to the admin which has been cutting a lot of the article. Please don't remove unless I can't find any sources. If I can't find any I will let you know. That's probably the best way to have consensus. Way better than single-handedly allowing random IP's to take over the article.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:24, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* How do we know if these IPs are the same or different? Let's start with Geography. Michigan, Louisiana, Minnesota, Vancouver, Pennsylvania... Even if you really think we were the same person, do you really think we travelled that much? IPs have the same right to edit that you do. It is all a bunch of unsourced opinion and should be removed... it was removed at one point and readded so it has been contentious for a while. There has been plenty of time to source it. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:29, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Doesn't mean you aren't part of a group working towards a specific POV goal. This is not a bunch of unsourced opinion. There are many reliable facts in here that yes were wrongly removed temporarily by other IP's (ironically). The sources are there and I can add more. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:34, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Quit with your ad hominem. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:36, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* What if it's true. What if you are like tatababy whom Bello Wello "accidentally" got involved with another dispute? How do we know? Basically here on wiki it's one's word against anothers. That's the danger (or for the deceptive) blessing in using an IP. Those edits and terms are all very much the same. It's ironic to have so many new IP's.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:39, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I don't know who User:Bello Wello is, and the other user seems to be blocked indefinitely. Stop with the ad hominem and lets fix this pov promo piece. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:45, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Stop with the POV attack by calling this article "promo piece". If you don't know who Bello is, that's fine, but his edits and POV were very much like the IP's on here. Supporting only Spectrum/Adventist Today sources, and attacking the use of qualified sources.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I quote from the top of the article:
This article may contain wording that merely promotes the subject without imparting verifiable information. Please remove or replace such wording, unless you can cite independent sources that support the characterization.
* That is exactly what us IPs are trying to do. It is not a "POV attack" when it is clearly written at the top of the article. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Perhaps that may be the goal, but in the process the IP's are getting some very good information removed. This information informs rather than just "promotes". That is why I support "replace" rather than "remove". Yes the article needs work, but there are enough sources out there to make it possible to edit without going to these extreme lengths.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:03, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* What good information? If there was sourced good information removed, make an edit request for it to be added back. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:15, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* What part of this is good information? Most of it. The description about his books, the statements from leading church scholars, the issues covered are all relevant. The statements from Dr. Gane, a leading expert on the Near East and the Sanctuary are also good to have in here. These quotes are useful because they show Pipim's relationship with various church leaders on key theological issues. The statement about his view being based on the way one leans is definitely relevant because it provides context. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:19, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* They are also not sourced, and violate the policy on biographies of living persons until they are sourced by reliable sources. Since these statements are not pipim, they cannot be sourced to books/articles/etc. that are published or related to Pipim. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:21, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The sources are in various books such as "receiving the word". I don't currently own it, but I've read it and read these statements. I could probably post a citation from the book, though I don't know if could get the page number. Others such as Hope probably good though.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:24, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
The policy on self published sources do not allow the subject of an article to be a reliable source on other people, only on himself. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:29, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's not self published. These are simply the endorsements of others that show up on his book or at other places. You are allowed to post endorsements of others about another's work. It's not the author himself who said it. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:33, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Yes, but it needs to be published by either the source of the endorsment (the guy that supposedly endorsed it) or in some other reliable source independent of the subject with editorial oversight. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:37, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* We can post those as well, however where does it say we can't use endorsements from a book. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:40, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* WP:RS. Self-published sources can only make non-self serving claims about themselves. Pipim's book is a self-published source. It cannot make claims that are self serving, which endorsments are.

False puffery under theology and then method
* In addition to challenging the method of moderate liberalism, Pipim's book also worked to make a strong case for his church's 1986 “Methods of Bible Study” statement, which “urge[ed] Adventist Bible students to avoid relying on the use of the presuppositions and the resultant deductions associated with the historical-critical method.”[14]
Please edit this. In fact, the book did not make a "strong" case at all. It made a very weak case, if we use the word at all. Please edit the sentence to reflect this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:30, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Do you have a source that states it made a "weak case"? I strongly urge you to thoroughly read WP:NPOV and WP:COI. - SudoGhost™ 23:39, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* No. But the source that says he made a "strong" case is an organization he is affiliated with. Why should he be able to self-declare that his case was "strong?" Why should I read COI?
* That you have no source showing that it was a "weak case", but asking us to change the wording to such, suggests a possible conflict of interest in regards to the article's subject. - SudoGhost™ 00:06, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* It is true that from an ideological perspective one may disagree with the terminology of "strong". I will say however that there are ways to measure appeals and success. We have evidence that whatever he wrote regarding the statement it was widely praised and further raised him up as a leading thinker in Adventism. Several of the sources currently on the article discuss this, including Alberto Timm, the leading SDA theologian in South America where the document comes from. Timm has a long research paper on it.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:09, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* Alberto Timm is a leading Adventist church historian. His “History of Seventh-day Adventist Views on Biblical and Prophetic Inspiration (1844–2000)” is considered “the definitive study” on the subject.. According to Dr. Timm, in the Adventist debate over the inspiration and authority of the Bible in the 1990s, Pipim’s Receiving the Word was “one of the most influential landmarks in that debate” and one of “the two main conflicting poles around which gravitate[d] the contemporary discussions on [the Bible's] inspiration” during the second half of the 1990s (see pp. 534-535 of . It is, therefore, not without reason that scholars who embraced the church's official 1986 "Methods of Bible Study" statement also endorsed Pipim's book. This fact is amply evidenced by the strong endorsements the book received by leading scholars of the church--important sources that some of the IP editors want to remove (see discussion above under the heading "From the method section"). To avoid giving credence to questionable calls for the removal of paragraphs, these relevant sources should be included in the article.--HopeAfrique (talk) 22:58, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* If we include Alberto Timm's opinion, it should be with attribution. Admin, please either remove this puffery or attribute it. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:00, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Please do not remove these statements. We can include with attribution if needed. These sources are valid and need to be added into the article rather than having the article torn to pieces by new IP editors who all seem to have the same agenda.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:22, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* IP editors have the same right to edit that you do. If it is included, it needs to be attributed to this Trimm dude, which then raises the question why his opinion is significant. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:31, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Yes you have the same right, but there is no conclusive way to know if this is all part of an organized group or just random individuals who happen to stumble upon the same article, but only choose to stay as IP's. Why is Trimm's opinion significant? Because he is the leading SDA theologian in South America.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:33, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* First attribute it and then that discussion could follow. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:36, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I can and will. Right now the article is protected so I can't really edit. I can only post sources and suggestions. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:37, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* You can start an article for Alberto Trimm to prove his notability. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:46, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I don't need to start any article to prove his notability. Notability is not based only on having an article here on wikipedia. Notability is based on success and knowledge and sources.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:56, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Notability is proven here on wikipedia by passing the notability policy for articles. You can just create a one sentence stub if you want. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:58, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Again I don't need to even create a "one sentence stub" to prove notability. Last I checked that was not a requirement for sources. Timm is however cited on several other pages on Adventist history and theology. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:01, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Whatever. Let's get it attributed first (as an improvement) and then we can argue about his notability. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:02, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* All right I'll be posting the links from Timm and about this shortly.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:13, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I guess I have a different definition of "shortly" than this other guy......<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:59, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Please edit this unsourced and pov sentence from "Youth Empowerment"
Writing about the history of GYC, a retired communication director of the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventists, mentions that the students who started GYC were attracted to Pipim's “can-do, tell-it-like-it-is, traditional Adventism” and his “‘higher than the highest’ philosophy of excellence” that was advocated at CAMPUS.

Sentence sourced only to self-published source
They denounced and opposed it, not only because GYC was youth-initiated and youth-led, but more especially because of the conservative CAMPUS ideals and leadership behind the movement.

Unsubstantiated accusations of liberal in "Youth Empowerment"
In the eyes of its liberal critics, the grassroots youth organization was an “emotional, anti-intellectual [and] conservative movement" that doesn't accomplish much long-term. Other liberal critics saw GYC as the means by which “very conservative and even reactionary forces” wanted to advance “fundamentalism” in the North American church — a veiled reference to the CAMPUS leadership that was empowering the youth. There is no justification for calling it a veiled reference except the extremely poor sourcing/commentary: There is no justification to call these commentators "liberal." Please remove that. Also, please remove the original research that says it is a "veiled reference.." to CAMPUS leadership, etc. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:36, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* These early criticisms have been echoed in recent times (2011) in liberal Adventist publications or blogs. See, for example, Hanson, Andrew, "Reviewing the Review: GYC Edition", Spectrum Magazine, January 24, 2011, accessed March 27, 2011. He writes: “What I am saying is that emotional, anti-intellectual, conservative movements like GYC don't accomplish much in the long run in spite of all the hoopla. They are ineffective in achieving their own long-term goals and can be spiritually harmful to the young innocents who blame themselves for delaying the Second Advent.” Taylor, Ervin (January 20, 2011) writes in a similar vein in his “Creating Myths: Generation of Youth for Christ (GYC) Origins”, Adventist Today, January 20, 2011, accessed March 27, 2011: “Prior to the election of Ted Wilson [as General Conference President in 2010], the GYC was viewed for what it actually was--a well-financed means to advance fundamentalist North American Adventism supported by well-known very conservative and even reactionary forces who also support and advance the Adventist Theological Society. With his election, there has been a rapid change. The agenda of the GYC has been embraced by the new GC leadership and now is being pushed by the current editor of the AR [Adventist Review].”

Resignation speculation and source
Information surrounding Mr. Pipim's resignation should be limited to carefully verified official explanations. Any defamatory speculation should be left out (such as the suggestion of homosexual behavior I removed), especially as this is a living person who is not a public figure. The citation is to Spectrum Magazine, which is not a primary source; should this perhaps be changed to point to the primary source cited by the Spectrum article? Just a thought. Hooverd377 (talk) 15:48, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
* Actually, Wikipedia thrives on secondary sources. Spectrum Magazine has proven quite a reliable source. Spectrum blogs are not so consistent. I agree with caution in reporting about Pipim's resignation. There are primary sources online, such as his actual letter of resignation, etc. Perhaps a link can be provided in External Links so individuals can read it. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 11:49, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
The Resignation information on this page should cite the original, http://campushope.com/resignation/ which broke the news on May 29th. The current source, Spectrum, didn't post the news until May 31st. Quoting the primary source gives wikipedia more credibility. Using a second-hand source like Spectrum who is openly hostile toward the teachings of Samuel Pipim damages Wikipedia credibility. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:43, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
* The "Openly hostile" stance of a Journal does not discredit it necessarily. There probably are hundreds of reputable journals which can be described as "openly hostile" to someone. Spectrum magazine articles and opinion essays usually are carefully documented. They have a very active blog comment/response pattern. Some of the people responding to articles say some important stuff, but their input cannot be used as a reliable, verifiable source. Dr. Pipim held a position of influence within Adventism. He has been strongly supported and strongly opposed. This makes the article about him here at Wikipedia vulnerable. I applaud those who have temporarily protected the article. It allows for everyone to take a breath, review Wikipedia's rules for sources and remember that this is a biography of a living person. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 17:11, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
Blogs and Facebook as Sources
This section has been commented out hopefully until the Wikipedia verifiability of sources can be established for blogs and facebook sources:
<! -- As was noted by a blogger, the resignation letter and statement did not name the gender of the other individual involved. Matthew Gamble, a popular Adventist speaker and writer, took issue with his statement that "others who have always opposed what we stand for will have an additional reason to rejoice." -- >
As you can imagine, in matters of this kind, careful adherence to Wikipedia's protocol is very important. We may need a veteran administrator, or two, to advise on this. The first statement casts a slant to the rumours just by mentioning what has not been said. The Gamble reaction has some validity, I think, but facebook is not a valid source for wikipedia, as far as I know. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 15:52, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Resignation
editprotected On May 29, 2011, CAMPUS reported on its website that Pipim had resigned his employment with the Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists and his ministerial credentials following a "moral failure" while traveling overseas.
please use the above information in the resignation section of this article so as to attribute the primary and direct source of the information, thanks :-)
* Not done, secondary sources are preferred, per WP:PSTS. --Closedmouth (talk) 10:02, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
* Though implied, the three official resignation documents no where mention his "ministerial credentials." CAMPUS broke the news first on May 29, not "Spectrum" (May 31), which was referring to the CAMPUS info. It's better to cite primary sources for readers to check the facts for themselves, instead of speculations from Spectrum blog. Would modify resignation section to read :
* On May 29, 2011, CAMPUS reported on its website that Pipim had resigned his employment with the Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists following a "moral failure" while traveling overseas. His resignation message to his "colleagues in ministry" and CAMPUS staff stated: "Although my passion for youth training and empowerment has not waned, the rest of my life is in God’s hands." HopeAfrique (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:21, 18 June 2011 (UTC).
* I have no problem including the citation to CAMPUS. Spectrum still remains a secondary source. I disagree that Spectrum's contribution is "speculation". In this case, they reported accurately and provided the primary sources on which they based their story. I suggest that we keep both the CAMPUS and the Spectrum sources. Spectrum Magazine has a proven track record of sound, accurate journalism for over forty years. CAMPUS provides the carefully managed face of Pipim's church employer. Their damage control is admirable. Spectrum is a journal at arm's length from church administration. Both views are helpful to our readers here at wikipedia.DonaldRichardSands (talk) 12:53, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
* I agree with both of you. Yes we need to also have the Spectrum source, but we should be careful that everything we use comes from the news articles section and not the comments. I have yet to see any reliable source say Pipim "resigned his ministerial credentials". --Fountainviewkid (talk) 13:11, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
* Hi FVK. I have looked for any mention of Pipin resigning his ministerial credentials and can find nothing. His letter states "This is to notify you of my resignation as Director of Secular Campus Ministry and the employment of the Michigan Conference." The text ought to be edited to reflect this. His ministerial credentials have not been mentioned in this matter. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 16:38, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
* I edited the section to reflect the change. It now mentions his canceling of speaking appointments rather than untrue statements about his credentials. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:56, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
Facebook as a Source on Wikipedia articles
Recent addition to the Resignation section has prompted this section re: Facebook.
We need some veteran editors to help, one more time, on this. The concern of Matthew Gamble's opens a good discussion, I think. But the source is a Facebook account. Is this a valid source? DonaldRichardSands (talk) 17:24, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
The veteran advice is still hoped for. I have edited the Resignation section so that Pipim's quote and Gamble's Facebook statement can be read in a wider context. Note that the Facebook account is not accessible unless one has opened a facebook account. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 18:41, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
* Facebook is not a valid source. It needs to be some kind of article or journal or something that is RS which facebook isn't.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:29, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
* Facebook is a valid source if it is from a notable figure on a public page, which this is. It, of course, has to be used with attribution. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:49, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
* No only if that public figure is the one who the discussion is about. This is a third party source and therefore not reliable. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:59, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
* The third party is attributed, hence, it becomes what he thinks, and his facebook page is a reliable source for what he thinks. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:01, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
It doesn't matter the attribution. If Pipim didn't write it then Facebook isn't reliable for him.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:03, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
* Under what policy? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:04, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
* "Self-published and questionable sources as sources on themselves
Self-published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, especially in articles about themselves, without the requirement that they be published experts in the field, so long as: the material is not unduly self-serving; it does not involve claims about third parties (such as people, organizations, or other entities); it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the subject; there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; the article is not based primarily on such sources. This also applies to pages on social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook." When a well-known, professional researcher writing within his or her field of expertise has produced self-published material, these may be acceptable as sources, so long as his or her work has been previously published by reliable, third-party publications. Editors should exercise caution for two reasons: first, if the information on the professional researcher's blog (or self-published equivalent) is really worth reporting, a reliable source will probably have covered it; secondly, the information has been self-published, which means it has not been subject to independent fact-checking. Self-published sources, such as personal websites and blogs, must never be used as third-party sources about living persons, even if the author is a well-known professional researcher or writer; see WP:BLP. If a third-party source has published the same or substantially similar material, that source should be used in preference to the self-published one. This applies to Gamble. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:09, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

IP's editing
There appear to be several IP's that keep editing this article popping us as "new" editors. I personally think many of the edits are "vandalism" in nature, but I'm putting this out for comment. The removal of whole sections such as in Theology, the addition of "ministerial credential" issues and other word changes I see as trying to insert certain POV into the article. Perhaps we can hold off on editing the article in large amounts until a consensus is reached?--Fountainviewkid (talk) 20:41, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
I also get the feeling that some edits from some IP addresses are calculated to remove important information or source references. Sometimes these edits wrongly remove whole sections or paragraphs, claim to “condense” sections or information, claims to be “trimming peacock language,” rewrites direct quotes, deletes some sources as “unnecessary,” removes listing of Pipim’s works because it is “non-notable item,” etc. I’m not entirely sure whether this is vandalism or not, nor how this vandalism can be established. But one gets the impression from some of these edits that there is deliberate attempt to either promote some agenda represented by those IP addresses or (at the very least) re-cast Pipim as though he were not “mainstream” Adventist.--HopeAfrique (talk) 12:50, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Edit protected
"The head of the worldwide Adventist church, the General Conference (GC) President, put his weight behind the movement when he spoke to the gathering of some 7,000 attendees at the 2010 GYC meeting. In the words of one GYC critic, “[t]he agenda of the GYC has been embraced by the new GC [General Conference] leadership and now is being pushed by the current editor of the AR [Adventist Review.] Even more, GYC has attracted a large global following. “Youth training events in Canada, Australia, Germany, and other places around the world have been inspired by the successful GYC grassroots movement.” " The claims made by this paragraph is not supported by the source. Please remove it.
Pipim has authored a number of books such as Must We Be Silent? and Here We Stand. If this could be changed to: "Pipim has authored a number of books including Must We Be Silent? and Here We Stand" I think it would sound better.

The above paragraph should not be removed (see discussion under IP’s editing). The paragraph and references show that the movement which was inspired by subject’s ideas and influence (and which was initially ignored or dismissed) has now gained the attention of the head of the worldwide church and the editors of the official magazine of the church—facts that are even attested by critics of the movement.--HopeAfrique (talk) 12:59, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
* The sources cited do not even mention Pipim. They are not relevant to this article and should not be included, and are synthesis at best and simply unsubstantiated violations of the policy on citing items about living persons at worst. Either way, I believe it should be removed per BLP until consensus is reached either way. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:27, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
* That paragraph describes the extent of the influence of the movement that was inspired by Pipim’s ideas and philosophy of youth empowerment. The sources cited in the paragraph show that the movement (which was initially dismissed by critics) has now been embraced or recognized by the highest leader and the official magazine of the church, and by many training events outside North America. Paragraph should be retained as part of the BLP.--HopeAfrique (talk) 03:13, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
* That is WP:SYNTHESIS. Do that at the Generation of Youth for Christ article if you want. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:40, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
* Actually, the paragraph is pertinent to the biography, showing that the subject’s theological ideas and philosophy of youth empowerment is being taken seriously by his church and even youth outside North America. I see paragraph as another evidence of subject’s notability (not just in ideas—expressed in his public speaking and writings—but also in his philosophy of youth empowerment—evidenced by the GYC movement he inspired).--HopeAfrique (talk) 01:45, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Not done for now: I have declined the request again as it not clear to me whether there is consensus for this change. 198.228 and 64.91: are you the same person or different people? Are there any other opinions on this? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:36, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
* No. I am not the same person. I am in Wisconsin as my IP address shows, the other user seems to be from Louisiana? The sourcing is insufficient for the claims made, that is why it should be removed. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:02, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* I have removed the paragraph. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Wait, why was this removed? This paragraph is important and I can add many sources to it. Rather than cutting, give us time to add the sources in. That's what the other admins are doing and I think it would be a better course of action than what is currently occurring.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 14:21, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Thank you, Martin, for removing that badly paragraph. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:26, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Martin, you should not have removed that paragraph because there is no consensus for removal. It is supported by the references. It indicates the attitude of SDA Church leadership towards the GYC, which Pipim mentored and supported, and, it reports the growth of GYC overseas. The only change I would make would be to remove the word "large" in the last sentence because it's a little too subjective. -- Kenatipo speak! 21:26, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Good move, Martin. The sources did not support the sweeping claims made. This article needs to become less of an advert. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:04, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Oh look a new IP to object. The sources supported the claims which were not "sweeping".--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:57, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* For what its worth, I agree with the above IPs. I think that gives us four editors who agree with the change. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:36, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* 4 IP's which could be one, versus at least 3 editor users who are clearly separate and not directly connected. I'm sorry but even 4 vs. 3 does not constitute consensus. This is not a vote. And please don't try to canvass more IP's.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:39, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
List of published works
Since Pipim’s theological views generate considerable discussion, and since his philosophy of youth empowerment has inspired grassroots youth movements, any or all his published works should be listed for the benefit of those who may desire to study those works. Ideas--even controversial ideas--in these books merit interest. At the very least, those works that have ISBN numbers or those catalogued in Worldcat should be listed. Contra to some IP edits, I suggest the re-insertion of the list of published works, so that the relevant paragraph (under "Public speaking and writing") reads:
* Pipim has authored a number of books. They include:
* 1995. Searching the Scriptures: A Call to Biblical Fidelity
* 1996. Receiving the Word: How New Approaches to the Bible Impact Our Biblical Faith and Lifestyle
* 1997. In the Spirit of Truth: Key Issues on Biblical Inspiration and Interpretation
* 2000. True to Principle: Radical Discipleship in God's End-Time Church
* 2001. Must We Be Silent: Issues Dividing Our Church
* 2003. Patience in the Midst of Trials and Afflictions
* 2004. The Humility of Christ
* 2004. The Forgotten Grace of Humility - The Cure for Cancer of the Soul
* 2005. Here We Stand: Evaluating New Trends in the Church, General Editor
* 2006. God is Faithful: A Journey of Faith & A Test of Commitment
* 2007. This Is Love: Closer Relationships, Deeper Love, and Higher Spirituality
* 2008. Not for Sale: Integrity in A Culture of Silence
* 2009. Healed Wounds, But Ugly Scars: Choices and Consequences
* 2010. From Ministry to Movement—The Potential of Public Campus Ministry
It's not enough to say he has authored a many books, without listing them.--HopeAfrique (talk) 13:19, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
* On the contrary, wikipedia does not provide lists of non-notable items. Since these books do not meet WP:BOOK, we do not need a list of them. If you think that these are notable books, please write articles on a nice proportion of them to prove notability. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:26, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
* The policy wrongly cited concerns “articles about books and literature in general.” However, the article in question is not about specific books, but about the biography of a living person. The issue at hand is whether that person’s works should be listed as part of his biography.--HopeAfrique (talk) 03:17, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
* Actually, that policy is very pertinent, but wasn't explained well. The issue at hand is whether this list should be included. Wikipedia happens to frown on lists of non-notable items, which this would be if the items it includes are not notable for stand alone articles. Hence, in order to include the list, the items (the works) need to be notable under WP:BOOK. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:28, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
* If policy is not well-explained, we must seek clarification or interpretation by finding out how other biographies have addressed this question. I checked on some Protestant/SDA theologians—past and present. Their publications were listed as part of biography. E.g., for SDA theologians, see entries on J. N. Andrews, James Springer White, Alden Thompson, Richard Rice, Edward Heppenstall, Samuele Bacchiocchi, Desmond Ford, Norm Young, etc. In some cases, even their articles are listed. It seems reasonable to me that one of the things that distinguishes a scholar/theologian is his/her ideas—often found in their writings. Thus, their writings are part of their biographies.--HopeAfrique (talk) 01:54, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
* Dropping in again, the policy is very well explained. WP:OTHERSTUFF is an unacceptable rationale. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:19, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
The bibliography is wholly within policy. From MOS:WORKS: These IPs have no idea what they're talking about. WP:BOOK is a wikiproject. Please refrain from citing policy until you know what you're doing. – Lionel (talk) 02:11, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

* Lionel knows what he's doing? That's why he goes around biting new contributors, correct? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:29, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Unsourced labels and original research
From towards the end of the theology section: His theological views generate considerable interest within his church, with reactions varying according to a person's theological leaning. Some conservative Seventh-day Adventist websites sites tend to promote his views as representing the mainstream Adventist position, while liberal or progressive ones tend to be critical of his views, sometimes dismissing them as relics of “religious fundamentalism." As can be seen, this amounts to original research. At best, the statement "Some conservative Seventh-day Adventist websites sites tend to promote his views as representing the mainstream Adventist position, while liberal or progressive ones tend to be critical of his views, sometimes dismissing them as relics of 'religious fundamentalism.'" should be removed as it is a mischaracterization of the sources. Nowhere does Spectrum or AToday identify themselves as liberal (or progressive). Furthermore, neither of the supposedly "liberal" or "progressive" sites actually uses the words "religious fundamentalism." <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:33, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
* Citation (word used loosely): Conservative sites that are favorable to his view include: “Adventists Affirm”, “Adventist Theological Society”, “Great Controversy.org”, and “AudioVerse”. Examples of liberal or progressive sites that are critical of Pipim's view include, “Spectrum magazine” and “Adventist Today”)
* It should not be too difficult to find a reliable source which refers to Spectrum as "liberal" or "progressive". Or to find such sources which identify the conservative productions mentioned. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 02:19, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
* That would then become WP:SYNTHESIS. What you would need is a reliable source making the connection. Otherwise, it is just an unsubstantiated commentary by wikipedia editors. Great for Spectrum, not so much for wiki. ;) <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:04, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* As there has been no further opinion on this, I have removed the sentence as requested. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:44, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* Ugh, MSGJ. I can give you links. Please don't go around deleting everything after only 2 days. Give me some time and I will get the sources. I'll have to re-add this later I guess with the proper sources when the article in unblocked.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 18:49, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
Unsourced assertion from theology section
Also, at the end of the theology section, this assertion with no source: The varied assessment of his works may be traced to his theological methodology and his stance on issues. This may or may not be true, but it needs a source to be included. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:37, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Out of date and unsourced claim of speaking engagements
This from the "Public speaking and writing" section is unsourced and out of date even if true: He is also a frequent speaker at local and international conventions of professionals and business personnel. This includes ASI, Adventist-laymen's Services and Industries a body of Adventist professionals. Since he has resigned in disgrace, he has cancelled all speaking engagements so at the very least the tense needs to be changed to past tense and marked as, preferably, however, it should be simply removed pending a source (there is already too much unsourced material in this article). <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:40, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

* I don't mean to cause trouble but I just noticed this edit request. I have several links which verify the information that was removed. May I request that the admin look over the sources and if possible insert them in along with the previously removed paragraph? I have found several RS links verifying this information. The first link is courtesy of the Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists (http://www.pacificunionphoto.com/photocatalog.php?pc_id=158&cmd=detail&hash=), the second is in the calendar for an ASI Southern Union event where his name is listed 4 times as a speaker (http://asisouth.startlogic.com/events/event.php?event_id=33). Please let me know if this information is acceptable.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 21:12, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

* And why are they not Reliable sources? What kind of source will you accept? Other than maybe an academic journal I can find that same information. Nevertheless, let's let the admin make the decision.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:10, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* I will accept a source from a reliable source. Start with Adventist today or Spectrum''. Furthermore, two small events is insufficient to say "frequent speaker at local and international conventions." <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:27, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Ah, so you pick and choose your sources based on ideology then? The only 2 sources you gave are the same ones Bello would accept, which are definitely "alternative" compared to the mainstream or Conservative SDA sources. That's like only accepting MSNBC to report on Glenn Beck. Oh and these aren't "small events", however if you want I can provide links to 10+ more sources of various events. How many would you like? I can provide them.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:38, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Here’s an additional source, showing paragraph shouldn’t be removed (though tense should be changed to perfect tense). Introducing Pipim as the keynote speaker for the 2006 International ASI convention in Gaylord, Texas, the General Vice-President of ASI, mentioned that Pipim was also the devotional speaker at the 2005 Internation ASI convention, and also gave four reasons why Pipim is appreciated within ASI and youth circles. See, “Tell What Now”. Incidentally, this was one of the sources previously deleted by an IP address. Could it be that some IP addresses deliberately delete sources, enabling them (or others) to later suggest that certain paragraphs must be deleted because of “unsourced assertions.” Just wondering.--HopeAfrique (talk) 04:27, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Okay using Google News I was able to find several linked sources describing the organization ASI. Some are church based others are mainstream media type organizations. From the church based ones we have this link noting the local convention in South Africa, this link which lists the organization along with others , this story from the official Adventist News Network describing ASI in an evangelistic series. Additionally there are non church sites such as this local news story from the USA. This link from a Jamaican newspaper describes the role of ASI is providing business and church growth information. Also this story from a Barbados news source describes the role of religious business and the economy. ASI also helps in health as this news article shows. Finally ASI was big on social needs in Africa as this international report describes. Hopefully this is enough to prove it's notability.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:51, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Alma mater
I did a search and could not find any non-wiki sources that were reliable for this. The following sentence, tagged as unsourced, should either be sourced immediately or removed. He holds a degree in engineering from the University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana, where he subsequently served as a research and teaching assistant. If sources are found for the school, then the additional info should still be removed unless a source is found. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:10, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Yes this is self-sourced but we can use a biography of a person to say where they got their degree unless there is contrary evidence. There is also this source which lists him along with other academic leaders on various religious topics. Again let's let the admin make the decision based off an analysis of the sources.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:14, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* His website would be a reliable source for where he went to school. As such, I ask that the admin add the drpipim.org website and still remove the additional "where he subsequently..." part. Thanks for finding that source, not sure how I missed it, Fountainviewkid! <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:23, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* I've added the reference. I'm not sure if there is agreement to remove the second part of that sentence so I've left it in for now. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:48, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* Please remove the second paragraph as well. Thanks! <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:57, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* Please do NOT remove the paragraph. We have provided several sources which are reliable and relate to the topic. Whatever else you need ask and I can provide. This is a better way to reach consensus than arbitrary removal of anything any random IP wishes to question.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:29, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I apologize. I did not mean to ask to remove the paragraph. Simply the second part of the sentence which includes unsourced fluff about assignments. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:34, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Please do not remove the second part either. It is not "unsourced fluff". It is reliable information about his work during his academic time.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:35, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Reliably not sourced information. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:43, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

* What does Pipim's speaking engagements have to do with anything? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:05, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Oh wait never mind sorry. But we have concluded based on an above statement "His website would be a reliable source for where he went to school". His website is reliable and not self-published for this.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:10, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* This is what I get at his website. It seems to have been taken offline, likely because of his recent downfall. What are you getting? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:13, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Fine then we can use the "cached" version. It has the same information.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:17, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Link? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:18, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

* Proof? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:31, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* That they include many speakers within the church, that they are widely used, etc. One does not have to sit back and be on the witness stand about every single source. They are from a noted media organization within the church.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:39, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* HopeVideo.com is a noted media organization within the church? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:41, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

* Proof? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:52, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The media it has. The level of leadership speakers it deals with, etc.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:58, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Huh? How does that make an organization notable? And what does notability have to do with reliability? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:04, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's notability is based on it's connections is speakers, it's variety in the church, it's ability to have the rights to the various speakers messages, and it's position as a leading media organization.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:05, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Huh? What notability guideline does that satisfy? Definitely not WP:GNG. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:17, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

That's fine. How long does it take to click over to WP:NOTABILITY and show us where HopeVideo.org meets its requirements? An hour? Day? Year? Decade? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:16, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* However long it takes is not your job decide. That's for the admin, which you definitely are not.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:19, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Yes, but taking so long to post a rationale as to how this organization is notable would make most incredulous. Even if it is notable, that doesn't explain how it is a WP:RS. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:26, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Again it's coming. It's not your job to determine how long it should or should not take.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:29, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
All right. So I have the link that discussed where he went to school. His website is still available in the cached format. Here's the link. The statement in the article is an exactly quote from the source pretty much, just as it should be. Hopefully this clears up the complains about unreliable sources.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:10, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* There's also this link which says the same .--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:11, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Other links for this information include here, this book/paper , this link to one of his ministries , and his article in Spectrum Magazine, which you've admitted is a reliable source here . --Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:14, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The Spectrum article is the only reliable source. On what page does it note his work as a "teaching and research assistant" which is what we're trying to source here? I didn't see it. Anonymous websites like http://www.the-ten-commandments.org/ and http://www.womenministrytruth.com/ are not WP:RS. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:51, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* He and some of the other websites note it. And it's not your job to say what is and is not RS. That's the job for the admins. Right now this information is credibly sourced and should stay. As long as these sources get included.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:54, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* You do not get to unilaterally declare sources reliable. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:02, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Neither do you. Spectrum is a reliable source. His website is a reliable source for his education. Reliable sources say exactly what is in the article. Why the confusion?--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:11, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Neither of which say anything about his research and teaching assistant, or at least that I could see. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:49, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Yes his website does.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
BRI
I would ask that the following sentence tagged as not sourced be removed: Between 1995 and 2000, Pipim served as a member of the Biblical Research Institute Committee (BRICOM). <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:16, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* There are sources for his being on the BRICOM as well. The first is the listing of his biography . There is also his biography on this Religious Media Network which mentions his service. Finally this church website notes the same information . This information does exist.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:23, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* None of those seem like reliable sources for a self-serving claim like serving on BRICOM. Did you check the SDA Yearbook? If it exists, it should be listed there. HopeVideo is not in any way credible, neither is an individual church website. Self-published sources are insufficient for a self-serving claim. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:26, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* If we accept his website for the claim of where he went to school we can accept it for what committee's he has served on. We also have the media source. They should be reliable sources. We'll let the admin see.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:29, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* That's because saying he went to school at "x" is not controversial or self-serving. Saying he served on an important committee like BRICOM without any other reliable source saying it is self serving. That is the difference. To the admin, please view the "religious media ministry" website's about page before approving it as a reliable source. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:31, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* The information is verified and valid. We have him saying it and other reliable organizations listing it on their biography about him. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:38, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* Neither HopeVideo or that random small church is a reliable organization. There is likely no credible editorial oversight over their websites. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:26, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* And why do you say there is n oversight and that they aren't reliable? We have Pipim saying it and other biographies backing him up. The information is verified and valid.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:40, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Besides the sources mentioned by Fountainviewkid, Pipim’s name is also listed in the Introduction to the Handbook of Seventh-day Adventist Theology [2000], which is volume 12 of the official “Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary” series. He is named as one of the BRICOM members who reviewed the scholarly articles contained in the volume.--HopeAfrique (talk) 04:29, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Thanks Hope. That's a physical hard cover that I don't currently own. It's nice to also have a print source in addition to the electronic ones. It would make sense BRICOM would appear there.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:37, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* I just looked that up and did not see it, Hope. Are you sure you are not making that up? We need verification through a scan or something of that sort to verify that it is actually there. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:30, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Look at p.v., where all the the names of all the BRICOM members are listed. Pipim's name is there.--HopeAfrique (talk) 21:35, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the template. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:51, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* I don't have a copy of the book, so I can't verify it. Perhaps the other IP will be able to confirm whether they found it or not.... <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:02, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I have seen copies of this book. Here are links that describe the existence of the book. For example a location on Amazon where the book can be purchased, the description of the book from the committee which produced it where Pipim served , and an article from the official journal of the church describing the book's creation . These should be verification enough. If not I can provide everything but the physical book itself (though I can be in possession of it within a week or so).--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:28, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I know the book exists. We just don't know whther Hope is telling the truth when he says that BRICOM members are listed and Pipim's name is there. I believe my church has a copy and I will check it then. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:35, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I can do likewise but it will take a few days.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:36, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Pipim's official bio indicates he served on BRICOM. Hope mentions it. I checked from the "Handbook . . ." where his name is listed alongside the other BRICOM members who produced the book. The reference page is "v" (Roman letter "v"). IP 209.32 was wondering if I made it up and IP 50.72 not sure if Hope is telling the truth. Could you confirm your findings to us? Thanks.--HopeAfrique (talk) 17:20, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Oh, I just found two additional sources. The 1999 and 2000 “Seventh-day Adventist Yearbook” (the official book with the names of all denominational employees) list Pipim as a member of the BRICOM, alongside the other members whose names also appear on p.v. of the “Handbook of Adventist Theology”: See, --HopeAfrique (talk) 19:31, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Good sources. Thanks Hope.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:56, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
From the method section
The following sentence appears under "Method:" Scholars who embraced the church's historical positions, however, were more supportive of the book. I take exception to the "embraced the church's historical positions" part. That portion of the sentence should be removed. Perhaps to "Some scholars, however, were supportive of the book." <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:18, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* Citation: Besides the favorable review of the book by the Director of the Biblical Research Institute of the General Conference, George W. Reid, “Book Review: Receiving the Word,” in Ministry, December 1997, 30-31, Receiving the Word was also endorsed by the following prominent thought leaders of the church: Norman R. Gulley, Paul Gordon, Raoul Dederen, Clifford Goldstein, Alberto R. Timm, William H. Shea, Keith Burton, C. Raymond Holmes, Artur A. Stele, and Randall W. Younker. Their endorsements appear at the back of the book, where Raoul Dederen sums up their evaluation of the book: "An amazingly clear and competent presentation which will supply Seventh-day Adventists with a reasoned statement of their own position and challenge liberals to reexamine their fundamental presuppositions. I wish it the widest circulation."
* How about if the term "embraced the church's fundamental beliefs". The SDA church has a clear set of beliefs and a spectrum on how widely those are "embraced". It's an openly known fact that Pipim's supporters are those which "embrace" the church's beliefs (which are generally in line with it's historical positions). --Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:31, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* No its not, Spectrum writers represent the mainstream of the church, in my opinion. Your opinion differs. Hence, unless there is a reliable source, it is unacceptable to include such opinion. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:24, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Don't know what Spectrum has to do here. It's clear that certain SDA leaders embrace the "official" position more than others. Those leaders just happen to be the same ones that endorsed Pipim and who are listed above. Additionally the church's "historical positions" are not really that disputed, especially since there is even a page for "historic Adventist" which embrace the church's "historic positions".--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:47, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Spectrum writers are not usually mainstream Perhaps in Spectrum's early days. But Spectrum's writers usually address mainstream practices and challenge them. This has been Spectrum's strength. Avant-garde Adventism, perhaps. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 01:40, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* So we have a variance of opinion. This highlights why reliable sources to make the claim are crucial, and it should not be included and should not use synthesis to get to it. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:25, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Variance of opinion? You mean one new IP who disagrees with the other editors and is trying to remove anything that isn't sourced at the highest levels...ironically right along with a specific POV.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:41, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Wikipedia needs verification. Particularly since there is disagreement, we need a source to lay it out without engaging in WP:SYNTHESIS. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:31, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Despite its perceived strengths, 'Spectrum does NOT represent mainstream of the church.'' 'The Seventh-day Adventist church's position dissociating itself from the Association of Adventist Forums and its magazine, Spectrum, is found in General Conference President’s statement at the 1984 Annual Council. See "Association of Adventist Forums Report (See also, Myron K. Widmer, "1984 Annual Council--Part III," Adventist Review, November 15, 1984, pp. 4-5).--HopeAfrique (talk) 00:48, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* This is irrelevant. What matters is that the source provided is SYNTHESIS at best and is insufficient for the claims made. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:06, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The source is not synthesis. It explains what Spectrum's relationship is with the church. That is relevant as Spectrum has written a lot on Pipim, including sourcing for this article.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:15, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* What does that have to do with "Scholars who embraced the church's historical positions, however, were more supportive of the book." ???? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:17, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* You need evidence that certain positions are the church's "historical positions"? If so look at the Historic Adventist page or the 28 Fundamental Beliefs. Also look at the issues with the scholars are supporting. You will see that they were the ones which support this book. And no its not synthesis.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:31, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* That is textbook synthesis. You need a WP:RS to make the connection for you. We don't research and create conclusions that were not laid out by reliable sources on wikipedia. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:32, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* This is not synthesis. These sources are reliable that we have posted on here. These conclusions are laid out the sources themselves.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:36, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It is combining multiple reliable sources to create a statement that is not supported by any reliable sources. That is the textbook definition of synthesis. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:38, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It is not combining multiple sources to create a statement. It is using multiple source to back up and provide the background and information to a statement. There is a difference.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:43, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Please provide a quotation and link to the reliable source which says "scholars who supported the church's historic positons were supportive of the book." <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:51, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Not everything on here has to be exactly quotes from other sources. The point is to get the main points, ideas, or thoughts by using the sources. Otherwise that would be "excessive quoting". The sources provide those ideas without using those exact words. Kinda like Pipim's ministerial credentials and the gender of the other.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:54, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I didn't ask you to put it in the article, I asked you to provide evidence that a reliable source makes the connection you want to include in the article. Please do so under WP:BURDEN. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:03, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The reliable sources describe the positions that Pipim holds, that the thought leaders hold and that the Spectrum group holds. They then endorse various positions.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:04, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Quote? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:16, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Again this will take some time to compile. I have to re-read it to find the specific quote I'm looking for. I don't have it offhand.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:19, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Waiting. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:30, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Well have a little bit of patience. I know you're trying to keep me from being able to find the sources by starting arguments with me about every source on here, so it will take some time. Wikipedia sources don't just get posted in a few minutes. Have patience. Give time for consensus. Don't be in such a rush. You love to selectively choose and preach certain guidelines while ignoring others.
* This article has been contentious for a while. You've edit warred on these sections without sources previously, you've had plenty of time to add sources, as the other IP suggested below. But, we're waiting. Let's see these sources. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:35, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Yes you have engaged in edit wars. That and your pals. Just like you're engaging in edit war behaviors on several other articles (GYC for example). The sources will come. The admin will decide when the deadline has passed not you. You are an IP not an admin. You don't get to make those decisions.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:37, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I noted your edit warring to say that the sections have been contentious for a while. There has been plenty of time to add these sources. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:46, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I would note you also have a history of edit warring. I am working on adding these sources. If you were truly working for the good of the article and consensus you would allow me the time. I am not asking for a month or many days. I also ask for a little time. Be it a few hours or a few days. But remember. It is the admin that makes this decision not me and definitely not you.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* We're waiting for the sources. If there are sources, the paragraph needs to be written over again, anyway. Which is why it is better off deleted and then reposted. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:54, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* And you will get the sources. If you weren't so focused with deleting half the article I'd have the time to find them. It is not better to delete it. It is better to edit it. Why delete and repost when you can simply reform?--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:57, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Because it is not sourced and the tone is unencyclopedic anyway. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:01, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* That's your opinion which an admin will decide.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:06, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Thank you for pointing out the obvious. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:15, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
All right so I have the link talking about Pipim's views and the church's positions. This material comes largely from A research paper from a conference written by Dr. Timm. It can be found here or if the other one loads to slowly. Either way they are both the same and should not have copyright troubles. Here are some reactions to the book, and , as well as a shorter article by Timm over the whole controversy. Other reviews which describe the church's "historical positions" and Pipim are here &. We also have the official statement on Spectrum from the SDA church above.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:38, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* That does not source the claims without engaging in synthesis. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:49, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Nope the claims are there. You just have to read the source to see that, which you obviously didn't.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Please provide the quotation and page numbers then. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:02, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* They might be coming. Patience. It's not your job to judge these things, it's the admins.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:10, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Admins don't have special powers over content, and any editor can challenge anything. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Another from the method section
Besides CAMPUS (Center for Adventist Ministry to Public University Students) and the Emmanuel Institute of Evangelism, Michigan Conference's outreach school, Pipim also regularly teaches intensive courses on hermeneutics to students enrolled at, AFCOE (Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism), ARISE (A Resource Institute for Soul-winning and Evangelism), and LIFE (Lay Institute for Evangelism), supporting institutes run by Adventist supporting organizations. This is marked as not sourced and is puffery anyway. As such, it should be removed. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:20, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* Again we can use his biography for this information or, or even which describes his leadership in various organizations.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:42, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* His official biography is insufficient for such sweeping claims. If it is included, a link should be included to the website of each organization which lists him under faculty or a WP:RS noting each organization. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:30, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Hmmm that's funny. You said Spectrum is a reliable source. I use Spectrum as a reliable source and you complain about my sourcing. Notice I listed a variety of sources. You conveniently chose to attack the one which was less reliable than the other 2. These organizations don't exactly have lists of "faculty" yet or include him since he's operates more as a "visiting" scholar. Nevertheless the information is reliably sourced depending on which source you choose.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:44, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* The Spectrum link you provided does not make the claims that are being challenged here. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:32, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* If his official biography is "insufficient," as per IP editor, allow for additional sources, instead of calling for the removal. There are sources that show he is a guest lecturer in some of the supporting institutes. For example, the “AFCOE” website and their “2009 Handbook” mention Pipim as a guest lecturer. Similarly, “ARISE” mentions him as an adjunct professor. I'm sure other editors may be able to look for additional sources to back information from his official biography.--HopeAfrique (talk) 01:19, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* The "Spectrum" link provides information about some of the challenged claims such as his positions in various organizations (i.e. CAMPUS). Additionally Hope provided examples where the institutions do list him.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:03, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
In that case, I suggest it be edited as follows: In addition to his, now resigned, position at CAMPUS (Center for Adventist Ministry to Public University Students), Pipim wasa guest lecturer at the Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism in 2009. That is what we have sources for at this point. The Spectrum link and either of the AFCOE sources will work for this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:49, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Not a bad idea but instead of "now resigned" how about we say "former". To me that sound clearer and is still true and verifiable. Also we should keep the information about those other organizations in.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:59, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Fine by me:
In addition to his former position at CAMPUS (Center for Adventist Ministry to Public University Students), Pipim was a guest lecturer at the Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism in 2009.
* Maybe also link to Amazing Facts. Admin, please make the change. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:01, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Yes please add the citations in. I request that you not remove portions of the article, however.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:03, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Here is the latest version now including ARISE using this source:
In addition to his former position at CAMPUS (Center for Adventist Ministry to Public University Students), Pipim was a guest lecturer at the Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism in 2009 and has also taught at ARISE Institute. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:47, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I still don't support cutting that much. Let's add the sources but keep it basically how it is.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Discussion as to whether documents posted anonymously to Google Docs can be linked to under WP:COPYVIO
* You forgot ARISE. Hope found a list of sources you can post. And I think a few others.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:07, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* That seems to be WP:COPYVIO. How do we show that it is not? The AFCOE website and the Spectrum article are the good sources we have... <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:10, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* A school's handbook is not a WP:COPYVIO. We have used school handbooks and bulletin's numerous times.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:12, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I realize it is not a copyvio, if the school posted it to Google Docs. But the links given have no indication of who uploaded them. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:14, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's the school handbook or bulletin. Handbooks and bulletins are reliable sources and are not violations, because they can be accessed by the public. Show me somewhere where we can't use college handbooks.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:29, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* That is not true. It doesn't matter if it can be accessed by the public, is should not be posted to the internet unless the party that posted it owns the rights to it. Unless you can show the handbooks were <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:35, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Show me where college handbooks can't be used. I have look I have found no place which prohibits there use as reliable sources.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:42, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Nobody disputes that they are reliable sources. They just aren't supposed to be linked to if they are copyvios, which these Google Docs uploads seem to be. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* A school handbook is not a copyright violation.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It is if posted by someone who didn't have permission in writing to post it. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:02, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's a school handbook. That's a reliable source. We could use a hard copy citation if you need.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:03, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Are you in possession of a hard copy? If not, then we can't use a hard copy. I agree, the school handbook is a reliable source. We just can't rely on some anonymous google docs user who posted it as a reliable source. Even if it is actually the school's handbook, it is probably copyvio and can't be linked. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:15, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The School's handbook is not a copyright violation. I can attain posession of the desired item though again not in this exact second.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:18, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Nobody said a school's handbook is a copy vio. It is, however, a copy vio when posted by an annoymous party to the internet, and THAT cannot be used or linked to. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:20, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The handbook is a relevant, and valid source.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:22, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Nobody said it isn't. A copy vio edition of it, however, is not. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:23, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* A handbook is not a copyright violation.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:24, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It is when published online by someone who didn't have permission, in writing, to do so. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:28, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* A handbook is a reliable source. The statement comes from the handbook.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:30, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Do you have a hard copy that you're reading off of? Please quote from it. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:31, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

* The Handbook.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:46, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* And where did you access this handbook? How can it be verified? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's in print or I think we can find it online outside of Google Docs.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Please point out where online a non-copyvio version of it is available. Otherwise, please confirm that you are reading from a hard copy. We cannot do things based on copy vios. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I could say I'm reading from a hard copy and make up a source that sounds reliable. You don't know. Just like an 4 IP's could be one and we wouldn't know. I can however find the source, but again I need a few seconds to do such.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:56, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* So are you confirming that you do not posses a hard copy? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:57, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I have neither confirmed nor denied. Though I could speak an untruth and you would not know. Much as you could do the same when claiming you have 4 IP's agreeing with you.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:02, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Okay so I see the situation with the ARISE bulletin. When you search and try to open up a PDF of it (which looks like it will work) it takes you to the website but says it can't be found. If however you simply click "Quick View" the PDF handbook pops right out through Google Docs. We do know however that a handbook was there and it had Pipim in it. ARISE is going through changes so that's why the handbook probably isn't up. I was able to solve the problem though by going to another ARISE handbook (perhaps a different year). This link opens to a PDF which lists the "adjunct instructors" one of whom is "Dr. Samuel Koranteng-Pipim". Hopefully this clears everything up.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:44, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* What makes us think that http://www.mission-extreme.org/, a rather random website, had permission to post the handbook? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's the coursebook and the Handbook. Mission Extreme is a partner of ARISE. They work together on classes/credits and stuff. This is the handbook and it says Pipim is an adjunct professor. It's legal to be there. Until an admin says otherwise it's a reliable source.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:49, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Proof? Mission Extreme does not even have an about page to read about them (or at least none that I saw), please provide documentation for their claim that they are a partner of ARISE and authorized by ARISE to post their handbook. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:01, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Here's your proof .--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:09, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Thank you. I will add Arise to the edit request. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:45, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Finally we agreed on something. See how much nicer that is?--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Youth empowerment
This dream became a reality in 2002, when GYC was inaugurated at Pine Springs Ranch, California. This is unsourced and should be removed as peacock language anyway. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:29, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* This is a true statement that can be sourced. It's true "the dream" could be considered "peacock" but that could easily be edited to "Pipim's dream came to fulfillment"...in 2002... The sources for GYC can be found here and the connection with Pipim here .--Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:36, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* Unencyclopedic language, perhaps. But peacock? I'm not seeing it. - SudoGhost™ 04:42, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* There are sources. For example, documenting the history of the first seven years of GYC, the official 388-page GYC book “For This Purpose” clearly states Pipim’s critical role in the formation of the movement that was inaugurated in 2002 (pp. 2-4; 156). Besides his other messages, the book also includes the entire sermon delivered by Pipim during the inauguration of GYC at Pine Springs Ranch (pp. 28-45). See Sikhululekile Hlatshwayo, Justin Kim, and Stephanie Quick, eds., For this Purpose: A Compilation of Sermons and Presentations from GYC. (Generation of Youth for Christ, 2008); ISBN<PHONE_NUMBER>-10-0. The book fleshes out what was briefly mentioned in [3” and on p. 14 of [4].--HopeAfrique (talk) 04:53, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
"Why" and "Excellence" Bible lectures
This section contains exactly one (1) source which does not substantiate the assertions in the section. The assertions that are unsourced include "Since 2006, Pipim's name has become well-known in university circles of Africa," "imploring students to be part of the solution in transforming the African situation, Pipim insists that there is no reason to wait until after school," and most of the rest of the paragraph. I would ask that it be removed pending the finding of more sources with a brief (one sentence) summary of the source given included under the "liberating the african mind" section. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:33, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
* It appears that some of the sources to an older version were blanked out in the possible vandalism by certain IP addresses. These “edited” versions were then subsequently tagged as needing references. (See concerns raised under “IP editing”). I would suggest that we either retain the current version while efforts are made to improve upon it with additional sources, or we revert to the version that existed before “edits” by <IP_ADDRESS>.--HopeAfrique (talk) 18:42, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* That is irrelevant. The fact is the section, as it currently exists, is not sourced. As this is a biography of a living person, any material that is not sourced and is challenged must be removed. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:01, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* Rather than simply requesting a "removal" of material it might be better to allow others to add the sources in. I suggest holding of on removing whole sections until the debate is settled. One new IP shouldn't=consensus.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:15, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* This sentence is a large cause of the peacock and puffery issues plaguing this article. It needs to be removed until such sourced can be found, and at such time, it should be rewritten from a neutral point of view. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:22, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* Rather than removal this section needs reformation. It can be worked on and can have many more reliable sources added in. We should wait before going to extreme cutting lengths.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 22:32, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
* WP:UNSOURCED says that the removal of unsourced content is not on an immediate timeline. You may remove any material lacking a reliable source that directly supports it. How quickly this should happen depends on the material and the overall state of the article. Editors might object if you remove material without giving them time to provide references. Given the overall state of the article (currently at Full protection), this should not happen quickly, as full protection occurs when editors have not discussed changes to an article to the point that the entire article needs to be locked to promote discussion. Editors wishing to keep the contentious information in the article should, within a reasonable timeframe, find sources to back up the content. - SudoGhost™ 01:50, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Thanks Sudo. That is exactly what I'm trying to do. On the other edits I've been able to find reliable sources that can be added for the various statements. The information in the paragraph is not exactly "contentious", except one newly editing IP has objected to it. Because it's a whole paragraph it would be easier to simply work on it once the article becomes unprotected. Until that point I can suggest sources but it's hard because it's not just one or two sentences. That is why I think any action on this particular paragraph should not occur until multiple editors get a chance to work on it. I can, however, begin posting sources.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:10, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
This article has been contentious for a while as well as removal of this section. There has been weeks, that's a reasonable time frame. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:32, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* If no sources can be found by the time full protections ends, then I would agree with the removal of the content. That gives others a reasonable amount of time to find sources for the contentious information. Immediate removal is not required, as there is no deadline. - SudoGhost™ 02:39, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* See below for the sources. As I said the IP will definitely challenge them, but we need time to work them in while editing the paragraph. In the meantime these sources should be enough to keep the entire paragraph from being removed.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:47, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* It may help if you started a sandbox, copied the paragraph (or however long it is) into the sandbox, and added references to it there, and then share the sandbox's location with us here, so we can discuss the information and we'll have an idea of what will be sourced and how it will look. - SudoGhost™ 05:03, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Good idea. The thing is I've never done a sandbox but I have some "adviser/mentors" who could give me some tips. We still have a week or so till the article is free so that gives us some time. Just so long as it doesn't get deleted we should be good. Thanks for the tips Sudo.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:40, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
All right so I found many sources that could be inserted into the article which can back up the content. Of course the paragraph need editing but I'll simply give some of the sources. There's no need to go to the extremes the new IP is suggesting. For example the quote about "chicken and eagles" can be linked to an African news article, and Pipim's own sermons ,. His work with ALIVE focusing on the African mindset can be linked to his site and a Journal article discussing the work of ALIVE & Pipim on pg. 12. The information on the "WHY" and "Excellence" series can be sourced here or. While you may not accept all these sources, at least some of them could be added to the paragraph to strengthen it.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:34, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* I agree. Instead of “removing” material, it might be better to allow others to add the sources in. For example, a version of Pipim's “Why” lecture series on university campuses was aired on Amazing Discoveries TV channel as “Why? Questions Demanding Answers”. One can also find references to his “Excellence” series at Audioverse:, , , , , , and .--HopeAfrique (talk) 05:14, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Good idea about the draft. Per WP:SUB see Talk:Samuel Koranteng-Pipim/Why and Excellence. – Lionel (talk) 06:56, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* This seems like a better way to go.--HopeAfrique (talk) 01:30, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* Please go ahead and remove this unsourced section until the sandbox version is ready. Thank you. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:03, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* No please do not remove this item. Feel free to add in these valid references, but don't remove the section. We don't need to destroy this article.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:14, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* As it currently exists in either version, it doesn't (wouldn't) add anything to the article anyway. It is not destroying this article to remove it, but simply removing information that is not sourced and not written in wikipedia's tone anyway. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:16, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* This information is relevant and needs to stay in the article. It is sourced and we can source it some more. Also it's being worked on and it's not that far outside of the appropriate tone. A few tweaks would be better than taking a chainsaw do this article as the random IP keeps trying to do.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:26, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Then please create a suitable version in sandbox. Otherwise, it needs to go as it is unsourced. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:30, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's not unsourced. We have several sources here for these statements. Also a sandbox is being worked on which I believe is including other sources in addition to these.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:34, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Wrong. Have you even looked at the sandbox? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:36, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Yes I have and the sources are going in there.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:41, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The sandbox has only added one additional source that is not marked for being insufficient in some way. That additional source does not even mention Pipim. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Who's judging what is "insufficient"? One IP does not get to determine the guideline for wikipedia. Especially one who may masquerade as others. Several of the sources I posted mentioned Pipim.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The point remains that the one at the sandbox is no better than the current one. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:55, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's being worked on. Wikipedia is a "progressive" encyclopedia in the sense that things constantly get changed and updated. This takes some time though and won't happen overnight.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:56, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
The parts that are sourced can easily be readded. that is not an argument to keep unsouced material. See WP:BURDEN. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:59, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* What material exactly is unsourced?--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:01, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Everything that isn't sourced by the lone source. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:13, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Wow that was VERY specific. Thanks for your help.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:17, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It certainly was. Unfortunate that such a large amount of information is unsourced. Do you need it laid out better for you? How's this:
Since 2006, Pipim's name has become well-known in university circles of Africa because of his unique one-week Bible Lecture Series, notably his “WHY” and “Excellence” series. These lectures grew out of presentations he first gave to different groups in the United States, but which he now adapts for students, faculty, and staff on African university campuses. Not sourced. Pipim considers the “Why” and “Excellence” Bible lecture series as his personal contribution to the intellectual and moral transformation of the African people. Believing that the “African mindset” is the problem, and not the “African mind,” Pipim's lectures his audiences to think differently, take responsibility for the destiny of their lives, their institutions and their nations. He frequently tells his audiences to “change the world, by first being changed.” Not sourced. Imploring students to be part of the solution in transforming the African situation, Pipim insists that there is no reason to wait until after school. “If not now, we're late,” he says. He passionately believes that the change that Africa needs today can be (or must be) brought about by its young people. Not sourced. The titles of the “Why” lectures are rhetorical in nature, providing biblical solutions to everyday questions he considers relevant to students and to the larger African society. Not sourced. The change Pipim is promoting is one which moves Africans from the “chicken mindset to eagle mindset,” from mediocrity to excellence. He derives the chicken/eagle metaphor from the statement by James E. K. Aggrey (1875–1927), one of his esteemed African role-models: “My people of Africa, we were created in the image of God, but men have made us think that we are chickens, and we still think we are, but we are eagles. Stretch forth your wings and fly! Don't be content with the food of Chickens.” Not sourced. (Source for quotation in sandbox but not for Pipim's usage of it) As the title of the “Excellence” series suggests, Pipim invites Africans to aim high, to strive for excellence in all aspects of life—academic, professional, and spiritual.[45][non-primary source needed] For example in his lecture titled "The Need for Excellence" or “Shine Like Gold” (here, “gold” is a metaphor for such desirable virtues as diligence, integrity, selflessness, simplicity, compassion, patience, kindness, and others), he urges his fellow Africans: “Don't lose your gold; don't substitute brass for gold; and don't be content with anything less than gold.” Not sourced or not reliably sourced. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:27, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* You ignored the body or sources I compiled about these statements. These statements are sourced. Below I have re pasted my original post with some of the sources which you claim don't exist.
Of course the paragraph need editing but I'll simply give some of the sources. There's no need to go to the extremes the new IP is suggesting. For example the quote about "chicken and eagles" can be linked to an African news article, and Pipim's own sermons ,.

* They are not in the article. Out of the ones you posted, news.myjoyonline.com seems to be the only reliable one. Which statement does that one source?<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:33, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Several of the sources are reliable. They are from various organizations of significance in the SDA church. The my joy online discusses the African mindset and the quote Pipim uses.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:35, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

* By quoting them instead of vaguely describing them. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:14, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I did exactly what you did in the request.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:18, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I didn't 'make the edit request. But fine, here goes:
In lieu of the above, vague, edit request. I would like to ask that the paragraphs and statements above which are noted to be without sourcing be removed, without prejudice to future addition should proper sourcing be found. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:26, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The statements have sourcing. Additionally we have proposed additional reliable sources. This has already been discussed. No need to make a repeat edit request just because the first one got denied. Here I have re pasted my original post with some of the sources which you claim don't exist.Of course the paragraph need editing but I'll simply give some of the sources. There's no need to go to the extremes the new IP is suggesting. For example the quote about "chicken and eagles" can be linked to an African news article, and Pipim's own sermons , . His work with ALIVE focusing on the African mindset can be linked to his site and a Journal article discussing the work of ALIVE & Pipim on pg. 12 . The information on the "WHY" and "Excellence" series can be sourced here or . While you may not accept all these sources, at least some of them could be added to the paragraph to strengthen it.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:31, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The first one did not get denied, and the sources you have suggested have been shown to be non-reliable with the exception of myjoyonline.com. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Shown to be non-reliable? Really? An admin made this decision or a random IP?--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:58, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Any serious editor could figure out that reviveonline.org and 247nigeria.com and HopeVideo.com are NOT reliable. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:00, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Thanks for the insult. Perhaps I should report you like you would me? Any serious editor might stop hiding behind an IP maybe (that or possible more than one?) Honestly I don't know. Let's hope you're all independent. The integrity of the process needs to stay preserved.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:07, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Why do you keep bringing up the fact that I am an IP? IP editors have just the same right to edit as you do, sorry that bothers you so much. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:44, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* There are several IP's. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Admin removing valid references
I noticed that an administrator recently removed a whole large section from the article which had several references and was going to receive more. The section was in "Youth empowerment" and described Pipim in relationship to the GYC and GC. I would ask that any administrators which are acting on this article please delay removing any sections until a proper discussion can be had. This is important to allow time for those of us working to strengthen the article to find and suggest proper sources which can be inserted into the article. That is a better way than simply cutting. This also occurred in the "Theology" section discussing ASI. If these don't get re-added now we can wait and once the page is unprotected we should be able to have the proper references to put those paragraphs back in.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 14:19, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* I add my voice to the above. Besides the relevant and compelling sources deleted, there are additional sources that establish the close connection between Pipim (via CAMPUS) and GYC. Even his letter of resignation addressed to his “Colleagues in ministry, etc.”, assumes the general knowledge that CAMPUS (which he founded and directed), is “the birth place, headquarters, and sponsor of GYC.” See also a response by one of “GYC’s founders and second President”.--HopeAfrique (talk) 02:03, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* If you want content added back create a new section, add editprotected, and type your addition with sources.– Lionel (talk) 23:06, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
More sources to be added later
I have several reliable sources that should be added to this article to strengthen it especially which relate Pipim and GYC. Maybe these could go into the sandbox or something. One source which could be used is this news story the magazine of an Adventist University. I used the cached version because the website was having trouble, though this magazine is also in print so either option is available. GYC also lists Pipim as one of their presenters and describes his work, which I think could go very nice in this section. Pipim's also wrote an article which appears in several of his books of his connection with the GYC movement.It can be found in several places, but the easiest link was to his website here. Additionally both these article from Spectrum Magazine (which the IP sees as a reliable source) mention Pipim's work with GYC and note him as one of the "founders". Finally this article from Adventist Today describes Pipim and GYC specifically on the role the two have played in relationship to each other.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 14:58, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Later isn't going to cut it with this many IPs targeting the article and an admin who is quick to change the article. – Lionel (talk) 23:09, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* Well I don't know where to begin. Especially on a fully protected article. I've never used sandbox before. Hope has though so basically I'm doing the job of providing sources and letting Hope insert them in. The admin has also been (somewhat) helpful in adding them in as well. Too bad he has an insane 2 day arbitrary deadline.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 23:20, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* Are records of discussions of on this Talk page kept so that we can retrieve important information and sources? As I stated elsewhere a short while ago, in the course of the discussions on this Talk page numerous sources have been uncovered.

I don't know how to ask. From the Theology program
Following the publication of his first two books (in 1995 and 1996), Pipim emerged as a serious theological thinker, albeit a polarizing figure in his church. This fact is illustrated by the 14 comments from the leading church scholars that appear on the back cover of his first two books. For example, in the debate over women's ordination, Roy Gane, then Assistant Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Near Eastern Languages at the church's leading theological institution at Andrews University, wrote the following concerning Pipim's Searching the Scriptures (1995): “Whether or not a reader agrees with all of the author's interpretations or conclusions, several characteristics of this work make it helpful for focusing discussion and for challenging thinking. These include: its isolation of central questions, its consistent reasoning regarding these questions, and its careful search for authoritative principles through investigating a broad base of biblical data.” Similarly, Randall W. Younker, then Director of the PhD/ThD Program the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University, endorsed Pipim's Receiving the Word (1996) in these words: “Koranteng-Pipim represents a growing number of young, perceptive, Bible-believing scholars who, while not afraid to `call it as they see it,' present challenging issues with a spirit of love and compassion. He correctly perceives that the key issue that causes division among many of us is how we view God's Word and the way we interpret it. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to be aware of the critical issues that are confronting our church in these days just prior to our blessed Lord's return.” His theological views generate considerable interest within his church, with reactions varying according to a person's theological leaning. Some conservative Seventh-day Adventist websites sites tend to promote his views as representing the mainstream Adventist position, while liberal or progressive ones tend to be critical of his views, sometimes dismissing them as relics of “religious fundamentalism.”[7] — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:18, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Why do you feel this should be removed? Simply asking isn't sufficient reason. - SudoGhost™ 23:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Because its a bunch of opinion withoutcitations, and is very opinionated as well.
* Would you like some more sources? First there already are sources in the article which provide this information. I can however provide many many sources on this. For example the book which Pipim edited titled "Here We Stand" contains chapters about key issues in the church. Dr. Younker in on record endorsing. If you want I can post the citation. I don't have a scanner so I'm not sure I can scan it but I can post everything else. I can also post links to where it would exist online so you can see it's the same. Would that be acceptable?--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:06, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
I agree with the above. Please remove the unsourced opinion. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:59, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
Another IP? Wow what a shock. How do we know whether or not these IP's are the same or different. There is no need to remove these statements. There are sources for them and I can add more sources. I speak especially to the admin which has been cutting a lot of the article. Please don't remove unless I can't find any sources. If I can't find any I will let you know. That's probably the best way to have consensus. Way better than single-handedly allowing random IP's to take over the article.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:24, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* How do we know if these IPs are the same or different? Let's start with Geography. Michigan, Louisiana, Minnesota, Vancouver, Pennsylvania... Even if you really think we were the same person, do you really think we travelled that much? IPs have the same right to edit that you do. It is all a bunch of unsourced opinion and should be removed... it was removed at one point and readded so it has been contentious for a while. There has been plenty of time to source it. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:29, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Doesn't mean you aren't part of a group working towards a specific POV goal. This is not a bunch of unsourced opinion. There are many reliable facts in here that yes were wrongly removed temporarily by other IP's (ironically). The sources are there and I can add more. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:34, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Quit with your ad hominem. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:36, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* What if it's true. What if you are like tatababy whom Bello Wello "accidentally" got involved with another dispute? How do we know? Basically here on wiki it's one's word against anothers. That's the danger (or for the deceptive) blessing in using an IP. Those edits and terms are all very much the same. It's ironic to have so many new IP's.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:39, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I don't know who User:Bello Wello is, and the other user seems to be blocked indefinitely. Stop with the ad hominem and lets fix this pov promo piece. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:45, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Stop with the POV attack by calling this article "promo piece". If you don't know who Bello is, that's fine, but his edits and POV were very much like the IP's on here. Supporting only Spectrum/Adventist Today sources, and attacking the use of qualified sources.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I quote from the top of the article:
This article may contain wording that merely promotes the subject without imparting verifiable information. Please remove or replace such wording, unless you can cite independent sources that support the characterization.
* That is exactly what us IPs are trying to do. It is not a "POV attack" when it is clearly written at the top of the article. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Perhaps that may be the goal, but in the process the IP's are getting some very good information removed. This information informs rather than just "promotes". That is why I support "replace" rather than "remove". Yes the article needs work, but there are enough sources out there to make it possible to edit without going to these extreme lengths.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:03, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* What good information? If there was sourced good information removed, make an edit request for it to be added back. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:15, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* What part of this is good information? Most of it. The description about his books, the statements from leading church scholars, the issues covered are all relevant. The statements from Dr. Gane, a leading expert on the Near East and the Sanctuary are also good to have in here. These quotes are useful because they show Pipim's relationship with various church leaders on key theological issues. The statement about his view being based on the way one leans is definitely relevant because it provides context. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:19, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* They are also not sourced, and violate the policy on biographies of living persons until they are sourced by reliable sources. Since these statements are not pipim, they cannot be sourced to books/articles/etc. that are published or related to Pipim. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:21, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The sources are in various books such as "receiving the word". I don't currently own it, but I've read it and read these statements. I could probably post a citation from the book, though I don't know if could get the page number. Others such as Hope probably good though.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:24, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
The policy on self published sources do not allow the subject of an article to be a reliable source on other people, only on himself. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:29, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's not self published. These are simply the endorsements of others that show up on his book or at other places. You are allowed to post endorsements of others about another's work. It's not the author himself who said it. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:33, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Yes, but it needs to be published by either the source of the endorsment (the guy that supposedly endorsed it) or in some other reliable source independent of the subject with editorial oversight. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:37, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* We can post those as well, however where does it say we can't use endorsements from a book. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:40, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* WP:RS. Self-published sources can only make non-self serving claims about themselves. Pipim's book is a self-published source. It cannot make claims that are self serving, which endorsments are. It also cannot make claims about other people, which endorsements also are. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:44, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It is not making a claim about itself. It's merely reprinting a claim a third party has already made about the book or person. Endorsements are not self-serving unless it is the person endorsing themself.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:47, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* "It is not making a claim about itself." That is exactly the reason why this self published source is insufficient. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:49, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's not self-published.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:51, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Its written by him. Hence, it is not independent of him, that means we handle it as a self published source under WP:RS. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The book is written by him. The reviews and the endorsements are not. They are written ABOUT him, which is not considered self-published.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:55, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Does't matter. Its in a book that he published. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:05, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* They're endorsements ABOUT him. There's a difference.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:07, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* In a book he published. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:10, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The endorsements are not his. Also they are in reviews which he did not publish. They are in both locations, which makes your argument moot. Whether in the book he published or in reviews about his book.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:12, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Then link to the reviews and this disagreement is irrelevant. I have no problem with them as long as they are sourced to something other than the back cover of his book. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:14, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I can source them to several places. The problem is you want everything perfect in seconds or you will call for deletions in the article. I can get the sources but I have to first organize them and present them in a logical manner. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:16, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The way it is currently written isn't useful anyway. It can be readded when the sources appear. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:31, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* No it's useful. And the sources strengthen the arguments made. This should not be removed.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:34, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* There are currently no sources. Please remove it and it can be added again when the sources appear. This is under WP:BLP since it is sourcing statements to living persons without citations. As such, it should be removed immediately until reliable sources are found for these statements from living persons. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:37, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* No please do not remove it. This article was protected so IP's like this couldn't run rampant and just delete everything they felt wasn't in their good graces. It was also protected so that it could be worked on through consensus and Talk. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:40, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
WP:BLP violations must be removed immediately as a matter of policy. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:51, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

False puffery under theology and then method
* In addition to challenging the method of moderate liberalism, Pipim's book also worked to make a strong case for his church's 1986 “Methods of Bible Study” statement, which “urge[ed] Adventist Bible students to avoid relying on the use of the presuppositions and the resultant deductions associated with the historical-critical method.”[14]
Please edit this. In fact, the book did not make a "strong" case at all. It made a very weak case, if we use the word at all. Please edit the sentence to reflect this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:30, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* Do you have a source that states it made a "weak case"? I strongly urge you to thoroughly read WP:NPOV and WP:COI. - SudoGhost™ 23:39, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
* No. But the source that says he made a "strong" case is an organization he is affiliated with. Why should he be able to self-declare that his case was "strong?" Why should I read COI?
* That you have no source showing that it was a "weak case", but asking us to change the wording to such, suggests a possible conflict of interest in regards to the article's subject. - SudoGhost™ 00:06, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* It is true that from an ideological perspective one may disagree with the terminology of "strong". I will say however that there are ways to measure appeals and success. We have evidence that whatever he wrote regarding the statement it was widely praised and further raised him up as a leading thinker in Adventism. Several of the sources currently on the article discuss this, including Alberto Timm, the leading SDA theologian in South America where the document comes from. Timm has a long research paper on it.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 02:09, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* Alberto Timm is a leading Adventist church historian. His “History of Seventh-day Adventist Views on Biblical and Prophetic Inspiration (1844–2000)” is considered “the definitive study” on the subject.. According to Dr. Timm, in the Adventist debate over the inspiration and authority of the Bible in the 1990s, Pipim’s Receiving the Word was “one of the most influential landmarks in that debate” and one of “the two main conflicting poles around which gravitate[d] the contemporary discussions on [the Bible's] inspiration” during the second half of the 1990s (see pp. 534-535 of . It is, therefore, not without reason that scholars who embraced the church's official 1986 "Methods of Bible Study" statement also endorsed Pipim's book. This fact is amply evidenced by the strong endorsements the book received by leading scholars of the church--important sources that some of the IP editors want to remove (see discussion above under the heading "From the method section"). To avoid giving credence to questionable calls for the removal of paragraphs, these relevant sources should be included in the article.--HopeAfrique (talk) 22:58, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
* If we include Alberto Timm's opinion, it should be with attribution. Admin, please either remove this puffery or attribute it. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:00, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Please do not remove these statements. We can include with attribution if needed. These sources are valid and need to be added into the article rather than having the article torn to pieces by new IP editors who all seem to have the same agenda.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:22, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* IP editors have the same right to edit that you do. If it is included, it needs to be attributed to this Trimm dude, which then raises the question why his opinion is significant. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:31, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Yes you have the same right, but there is no conclusive way to know if this is all part of an organized group or just random individuals who happen to stumble upon the same article, but only choose to stay as IP's. Why is Trimm's opinion significant? Because he is the leading SDA theologian in South America.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:33, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* First attribute it and then that discussion could follow. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:36, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I can and will. Right now the article is protected so I can't really edit. I can only post sources and suggestions. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:37, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* You can start an article for Alberto Trimm to prove his notability. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:46, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I don't need to start any article to prove his notability. Notability is not based only on having an article here on wikipedia. Notability is based on success and knowledge and sources.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 00:56, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Notability is proven here on wikipedia by passing the notability policy for articles. You can just create a one sentence stub if you want. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:58, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Again I don't need to even create a "one sentence stub" to prove notability. Last I checked that was not a requirement for sources. Timm is however cited on several other pages on Adventist history and theology. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:01, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Whatever. Let's get it attributed first (as an improvement) and then we can argue about his notability. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:02, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* All right I'll be posting the links from Timm and about this shortly.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 01:13, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I guess I have a different definition of "shortly" than this other guy......<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:59, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Than the admin, yes you will. For you shortly= a few seconds. For me shortly=in a recent period of time such as a few days.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:04, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Please edit this unsourced and pov sentence from "Youth Empowerment"
Writing about the history of GYC, a retired communication director of the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventists, mentions that the students who started GYC were attracted to Pipim's “can-do, tell-it-like-it-is, traditional Adventism” and his “‘higher than the highest’ philosophy of excellence” that was advocated at CAMPUS. This is an unbalanced opinion and should not be included without proper counter opinions. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:28, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Sentence sourced only to self-published source
They denounced and opposed it, not only because GYC was youth-initiated and youth-led, but more especially because of the conservative CAMPUS ideals and leadership behind the movement. The source is dead anyway, but even if it wasn't, self published sources are only acceptable for one's own opinion, not for claiming someone else's.

Unsubstantiated accusations of liberal in "Youth Empowerment"
In the eyes of its liberal critics, the grassroots youth organization was an “emotional, anti-intellectual [and] conservative movement" that doesn't accomplish much long-term. Other liberal critics saw GYC as the means by which “very conservative and even reactionary forces” wanted to advance “fundamentalism” in the North American church — a veiled reference to the CAMPUS leadership that was empowering the youth. There is no justification for calling it a veiled reference except the extremely poor sourcing/commentary: There is no justification to call these commentators "liberal." Please remove that. Also, please remove the original research that says it is a "veiled reference.." to CAMPUS leadership, etc. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:36, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* These early criticisms have been echoed in recent times (2011) in liberal Adventist publications or blogs. See, for example, Hanson, Andrew, "Reviewing the Review: GYC Edition", Spectrum Magazine, January 24, 2011, accessed March 27, 2011. He writes: “What I am saying is that emotional, anti-intellectual, conservative movements like GYC don't accomplish much in the long run in spite of all the hoopla. They are ineffective in achieving their own long-term goals and can be spiritually harmful to the young innocents who blame themselves for delaying the Second Advent.” Taylor, Ervin (January 20, 2011) writes in a similar vein in his “Creating Myths: Generation of Youth for Christ (GYC) Origins”, Adventist Today, January 20, 2011, accessed March 27, 2011: “Prior to the election of Ted Wilson [as General Conference President in 2010], the GYC was viewed for what it actually was--a well-financed means to advance fundamentalist North American Adventism supported by well-known very conservative and even reactionary forces who also support and advance the Adventist Theological Society. With his election, there has been a rapid change. The agenda of the GYC has been embraced by the new GC leadership and now is being pushed by the current editor of the AR [Adventist Review].”
* This section needs editing, not removal.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:37, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* That is exactly what I asked for. The removal of "liberal" and the "veiled reference" stuff. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:38, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Right but I don't think the removal of those statements is necessary. I think I may be able to find some references that use those terms. If so and they are reliable we can keep it. Thankfully you're not the one removing so hopefully the admin will give me a little bit of time.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:41, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

* A BLP violation? I don't see any living person specifically called "liberal".--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:01, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Apparently, basic reading skills are sparse on here (or among certain users, not that I am talking about anyone specifically, of course)... The persons named as liberal are what are termed "critics," of course. The ones named are Ervin Taylor and Andrew Hanson, both of whom are not liberal in the least bit. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:14, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Thanks for the complements. It seems doubling skills are good on here as well (or among certain users, not anyone specific though). These individuals that you named are definitely on record as critics of Pipim. They are also considered liberal by the SDA church's standards, and politically as well, especially Taylor.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:16, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

location
It is located near the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, the programs and events at CAMPUS have attracted and earned the trust of many students and young people. The first part of the sentence is irrelevant to the article, this article is about Pipim, not CAMPUS. Please remove it. The second part is unsourced opinion. Please remove that also. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* It's relevant. He has been the leader of the organization. A tiny bit (such as the location) of the organization is not irrelevant.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:55, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The second part is still opinion. Besides, why should these two sentences be linked? If anything, it should say "CAMPUS (located near the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor) or something to that effect. Furthermore, it is unsourced. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:57, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I can source it quite easily and these sentences are linked b/c they are discussing his ministry and it's location.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:01, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I don't doubt the first part can be sourced. The second part, I'll believe it when I see it. The source has to be independent of the subject, obviously. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:08, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Self-serving claim
Since 1999, the missionary training program at CAMPUS has developed student leaders to engage the world. Please edit this to say: Since 1999, CAMPUS has accepted students in their missionary training program. This is to remove the weasel language, "engage." <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* This edit isn't necessarily a best suggestion either. It's not that "weasel" to say "engage". All "engage" means it to act and work with. --Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:54, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* My suggestion is more neutral point of view. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:55, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Ann Arbor, Michigan: Berean Books, 2008. pp. 129-152; ISBN<PHONE_NUMBER>-09-4.

* It is in a reference and it does not reference anything stated. Why exactly should it be included? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Because it provides addition information where people can go if they want hear more about the program. It's strikes a balancing of not promoting, while yet informing people where they can go. Like having a website link.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 03:59, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* That's not what we're here to do. We're not here to provide links to promotional materials. It does not verify any content in the article, and is hence, by definition, not a reference. If you want to include, make an edit request after its removed, to add it as "further reading" <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:55, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* This is not promotional. It's provides information as well as the ability to gain further information.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:00, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Oh, right. Because what we do in references is put a bunch of links fluffy promotional content as "further information." Awesome, let them go around talking about how they think the Pope is the antichrist and they want to convince the rest of the world of that. That's awesome (NOT!), but we don't have to link to that. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:07, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* You call this a bunch of links with that are fluffy? First of all I see one links. And your last statement reminds me very much of that other user Wikiman one. that's not awesome. that's scary.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:16, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* I don't think I'm out of line to ask that if you insist on constantly naming users, you actually explain who they are. User:Bello Wello does not exist. User:WIkiman doesn't seem to have edited much at all. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:29, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Unsourced assertion under biography
Since that time, Pipim's theological ideas and philosophy of youth empowerment have inspired students and young people, and propelled them into a powerful force of change within North American Adventism.

Even if they did, it would not be sufficient for such a self-serving claim. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:41, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* The source is independent. The fact that he spoke at it's gathering does not harm it's independence. He doesn't have any "official" ties to the source. Additionally, I can find more sources that make these claims as I've been doing up above.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:46, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

* Yes it's a member and GYC. Still he's separate from the power structure of ASI. That fact that he's been involved with organizations which are related is only because this is a church that is smaller and more connected. He is independent of the organization. ASI is not self-published or self-serving. They are independent.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:59, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

* The statement suggesting that Pipim’s ideas inspired students to start GYC is properly sourced to an article by a retired Communication Director of the General Conference. and ASI—an independent source. The fact that Pipim has spokne at ASI conventions doesn’t make a report on the history of GYC unreliable. Moreover, where is the evidence that Pipim is a member of ASI (an organization for Adventist lay persons and professionals)? Am I the only person noticing a pattern by some IP editors who urge the removal of certain sources, and then later on urge that paragraphs or sections based on those sources be “removed”, “condensed,” "re-written," etc. because there are no proper sources to back up assertions in those paragraphs, or that those paragraphs are fluffy?--HopeAfrique (talk) 20:20, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Poorly worded statement under Theological Method
Please edit: In a work on “Adventist Views on Biblical and Prophetic Inspiration,” a colleague of Pipim's judged Receiving the Word as “one of the most influential landmarks in that debate” and one of “the two main conflicting poles around which gravitate[d] the contemporary discussions on [the Bible's] inspiration” during the second half of the 1990s. to read A closely related colleague of Pipim's, Alberto Trimm, called Receiving the Word “one of the most influential landmarks" in the debate on Adventist views on biblical and prophetic inspiration. It cuts out unnecessary fluff, and also notes Trimm and Pipim's closeness. Note that the source for this statement is the ATS journal, an organization Pipim helped found and which he helped lead for a significant amount of time. It may actually fall under the prohibition of self-published sources. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:46, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* This is NOT a self published source. Pipim never led this organization. You can see a list of it's President's here Adventist Theological Society. Notice Pipim's name is NOT there. And this is not a good change. The wording as it currently is is much better than the suggestion.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:51, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Notice I never said he was "the leader," I simply noted that he was one of the leaders of this organization, which he helped found. The old version is much more promotional. Are we here to cut out the promotional language or not? Or perhaps, I should ask you, what do you suggest be changed to cut out the promotional language? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Nice "weasel" phrase "one of the leaders". He did contribute papers to this organization, but that doesn't make him a leader in it. The new version seeks to try and make claims that are more POV, as well as remove part of a necessary quote. Using the term "colleague" is more profession than simple "closely related". That is being done to make it sound like it's not independent.--Fountainviewkid (talk) 04:56, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* You can cut out "closely related" if you'd like, but there is no reason for the full quote. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:04, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* And why not? Does it make Pipim look "too good" or something? Perhaps we should knock him down a peg? That's what you want?--Fountainviewkid (talk) 05:12, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
* Why is it necessary? This article already suffers from minute detail and over reliance on quotes. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:39, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

“Minute details”? The IP edit claims to cut out “unnecessary fluff, and also notes Timm and Pipim's closeness.” First, those who care for the facts may want to know these pertinent details. Second, without explaining the nature of their relationship, merely saying Timm is a “colleague” of Pipim downplays his evaluation of the book. Both Timm and Pipim are trained scholars who both belong to a professional organization called Adventist Theological Society. Dr. Timm’s work is cited not because he is a mere “colleague” of Pipim, but because he is an Adventist church historian, whose comprehensive work “History of Seventh-day Adventist Views on Biblical and Prophetic Inspiration (1844–2000)” is considered “the definitive study” on the subject.. A better edit should also indicate why this leading church historian considers the work significant. I suggest this reading:
* According to Alberto Timm, an Adventist church historian and colleague of Pipim, in the Adventist debate over the inspiration and authority of the Bible in the 1990s, Pipim’s Receiving the Word was “one of the most influential landmarks in that debate” and one of “the two main conflicting poles around which gravitate[d] the contemporary discussions on [the Bible's] inspiration” during the second half of the 1990s. --HopeAfrique (talk) 17:05, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Administration for Soviet Property in Austria
The Administration for Soviet Property in Austria, or the USIA (УСИА, Управление советским имуществом в Австрии) was formed in the Soviet zone of Allied-occupied Austria in June 1946 and operated until the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1955. USIA operated as a de facto state corporation and controlled over four hundred expropriated Austrian factories, transportation and trading companies. USIA assets included formerly independent Austrian companies (ÖAF), factories once owned by German corporations (AEG) and former SS enterprises (DEST). At its peak in 1951 the conglomerate employed around 60 thousand people, or 10% of Austrian industrial labor. USIA was exempt from Austrian tariffs, disregarded Austrian taxation, and could easily trade with Eastern Europe despite the Iron Curtain and Western trade embargoes. The extraterritorial corporation attempted to be self-sufficient and was very weakly integrated with the rest of Austrian economy.
Establishment
Occupation of Germany and Austria by the Soviet troops was followed by large-scale dismantling of former German equipment which was shipped to the Soviet Union as war reparations. Austria lost, in 1951 dollars, 200 million dollars' worth of German industrial properties (out of total 1.5 billion). Dismantling continued until the early summer of 1946, when the Soviet policy changed from taking Austrian assets to managing them for a profit. The Soviet Department for Investigation of German Properties compiled an inventory of remaining industrial assets in the Soviet zone (Lower Austria, Burgenland and eastern districts of Upper Austria). June 27, 1945, the Soviet command transformed this Department into the Administration for Soviet Property in Eastern Austria (USIVA) and placed all industrial assets under its control. In 1947 the name was shortened to USIA. Its internal structure mimicked that of the Soviet cabinet, with nine divisions paralleling nine ministries of industries. No less than eleven ministries in Moscow had a say in USIA affairs.
Only one-tenth of USIA assets were, indeed, German. Others were historically Austrian properties, expropriated with ludicrous explanations or with no explanations at all. Expropriation of lands of the House of Esterházy was "justified" because, according to the Soviets, the knighthood of the Holy Roman Empire conferred in 1806 qualified Esterházy as Germans rather than Austrians. Austrian government was forced to accept the fact but refused to legalize the expropriations through records in land and corporate registers. The Soviets used this refusal as a pretext for not paying Austrian taxes. The exact number of businesses under USIA control is subject to different interpretations. According to Austrian 1955 sources, there were 419 enterprises, of the 300 in the industry. A different source named 160 enterprises in 1954 (excluding the oil fields, transportation companies and trading outlets). The Soviets also operated Soviet Military Bank (SMB) which evolved from the Red Army field treasury. It tried to obtain an Austrian banking license but the government denied it in fear of Soviet influence over Austrian finances.
The number of employees varied from 22 thousand in 1946 to a peak of 60 thousand in 1951 and down to 36 thousand in 1955. A disproportionately high share of USIA staff were Austrian Communists, especially after the 1950 Austrian general strikes, when communists were fired en masse from non-USIA businesses. The strikes of the 1950s were powered by organized pro-communist workers of the USIA factories in the Soviet sector of Vienna. The Soviets, however, placed business interests above "class unity" with Austrian Communists. According to Hugo Portisch, Soviet representatives in Austria were split over the 1950 strikes: some saw an opportunity to suppress the Western influence, while the USIA management had to meet production targets and opposed any disruption in the Soviet zone. Portisch wrote that Moscow intervened to defuse the situation and denied support to Austrian Communists.
Operations
USIA was initially managed by Red Army staff; after 1949 they were replaced by trained industrial managers. The organization was governed by a chief executive with three assistants for political, personnel, and commercial matters. USIA chiefs, on average, served two years before replacement. Over nine years of its history, USIA had five chiefs, SMV (Soviet oil enterprise) had four chairmen, etc. At first, the Soviets intended to integrate USIA enterprises into their own economy, but the futility of such and exercise soon became evident and they admitted the need to cooperate with the rest of the Austrian economy.
USIA accounted for only 5% of Austrian national output and 30% of the Soviet zone output but possessed significant or even monopolistic share in some industries: 60% in glass making, 43% in leather, 40% in iron and steel etc. The governments of Austria and the United States, anxious about Soviet influence, invested Marshall Plan funds into competing businesses outside of the Soviet zone and the USIA monopolists gradually lost their advantage. The Soviets had no intention to invest their own funds into Austria, the sole exception being the oil fields in Lower Austria. As a result, Soviet-occupied territories lagged behind the rest of Austria in economic growth, their plant and equipment soon became "very much substandard for Austria". Some USIA-ran Austrian companies, fed up with Soviet control, simply moved their personnel and operations to the West, leaving the Soviets with empty shells (as was the case of Porr AG).
According to an investigation of USIA business in 1946–1955, 20% of its products were traded and consumed within USIA, 38% sold to Eastern Europe, 42% sold to non-USIA Austrian customers, and only 1% to Western European customers. The United States suppressed USIA operations through a "neutralization plan" devised in 1947. An embargo imposed by the United States on exports behind the Iron Curtain prohibited other Austrian businesses from selling their products to USIA, unless it guaranteed that the finished products will stay in Austria. Dealing with USIA was problematic because a valid legal title could not be enforced when allowed by the West. Vienna City Hall informally banned municipal purchases of USIA products. Marshall Plan money was deliberately deployed against USIA interests. Despite these problems USIA had a crucial and unfair competitive advantage. It was exempt from Austrian customs and foreign trade regulations. It routinely disregarded and evaded Austrian taxes and its trucking arm engaged in outright smuggling. USIA products easily moved across the Iron Curtain and could be sold at a profit and below fair market prices inside Austria. USIA retail shops in Vienna traded below market and were frequented by many Americans of modest means.
USIA operations declined since 1951. Between 1951 and 1955, over a hundred of its enterprises were shut down or merged. In 1955 Austria became an independent state and the Soviet Union withdrew its troops. The assets of USIA were sold to the Austrian government for 150 million US dollars, paid with goods over six years. The oil fields were subject to a separate agreement, which cost the Austrians around 200 million dollars. All written documentation of USIA disappeared.
USIA profits withdrawn by the Soviets from the Austrian economy, including the final payment, agreed in the Austrian State Treaty, are estimated at 1.072 billion U.S. dollars. Estimates of Soviet reparations in full range from 1.547 to 2.647 billion U.S. dollars. Per capita, Austria paid more reparations than any other Axis state or territory. Soviet rule over the economy of Eastern Austria left a deep and lasting impression on the Austrians. The 1958 "Final Report" on USIA activities concluded that the sole purpose of USIA was "to exploit Austria's natural and human resources as possibly and systematically as possible ... exploitation in colonial style amid a highly developed European economy, the extent and economic success of which are astounding ... This economic enclave of the occupation economy in Austria was used to fortify the economic potential of its bloc, to pursue its political objectives and, finally, to function as an economic bridge positioned directly opposite Western Austria and the Western World as a whole." | WIKI |

comment What is causing a type error when trying to modify Mathematica state from a function linked with LibraryLink
Thanks. Not only does my small test work now, but I was able to get the actual code working. In the actual code, I had another small error: I'd spelled the first function "EvalutatePacket". Is there anyway to get better error detection---as far as I can see, the spelling error only made the packet a no-op. (Maybe by processing the response packet? In the actual code, I know that the head of what I'm setting should be a LibraryFunction; just checking for that would probably suffice.)

comment Supported options for compiling LibraryLink code with VC++
I don't want to compile my library from Mathematica; it is a large, existing library, already embedded in Excel, Python and Java. It consists of about 20 DLLs, and is developed in Visual Studios. I need to know what the constraints are on the compiler options I use in Visual Studios.

comment Supported options for compiling LibraryLink code with VC++
We're calling our library from Mathematica. From what I've seen LibraryLink should be a lot simpler than MathLink to implement. As for .NETLink, our code isn't managed. And although we are currently targetting only Windows, in the past, I've had to do more than one port to Unux of code that was only targetting Windows.

comment LibraryFunctionLoad hangs under Windows
@ToddGayley It hung Friday, with a complete path (using /). It doesn't today, although I still cannot load my DLL. In fact, my file system was partially corrupted, with a lot of files suddenly belonging to Administrator (and thus not being accessible) rather than to me. This still doesn't explain why the errors caused the kernel to hang, but I'm unable to reproduce the problem since the admin fixed the file system, so who knows?

Or just use '/', which works equally well in Windows and Unix. I'd figured out the problem with the '\', but still doesn't explain why the kernel hangs. (And it hangs in LibraryFunctionLoad even when I use '/'.) | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

William Hutchinson Rowe
William Hutchinson Rowe (March 6, 1882 – 1955) was an American author and historian who lived in Yarmouth, Maine. The town's elementary school, built the year he died, is now named for him. In 1937, he published Ancient North Yarmouth and Yarmouth, Maine 1636–1936: A History, covering three centuries of the town's past. As of the early 21st century, it was still in print.
Early life
Rowe was born on March 6, 1882, on his family's farm in Yarmouth, Maine, the first of two sons of Mary Jane (1859–1944), from Brunswick, and New Gloucester native Charles O. Rowe (1851–1928), a farmer. A brother, Sylvanus Charles, followed on November 1, 1885; he died in 1910, aged about 25, while employed at the Hollingsworth & Whitney Company, of Winslow, Maine.
Rowe grew up in a house, formerly owned by his grandparents, at today's 1841-built 20 Bridge Street, near its corner with Main Street.
In 1902, he enrolled at Colby College in Waterville, Maine, where he studied with a view to becoming a clergyman. He was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity.
Career
After graduating from Colby, a throat ailment caused Rowe to return to the drug business, in which he gained some experience prior to college. Shortly after Rowe received his high-school diploma in 1899, Leone R. Cook, owner of a drug store in Yarmouth's Upper Village, offered him an apprenticeship. He remained there for two-and-a-half years, claiming his experience there was "among the best of his life".
From January 1904, Rowe ran a pharmacy in the brick building at today's 108 Main Street, at the corner of Portland Street. He had been deputizing for its previous owner, Burt L. Alden, during an illness, since October. He became a registered druggist in October 1904. He added the stock of William Richards' dry goods business after it closed at 82–84 Main Street.
In September 1904, Rowe fought with a robber in his store who drew a revolver on him. Rowe, who had $250 on the premises, knocked the gun aside and tussled with the assailant. After hearing voices, the robber ran away.
Rowe began serving on the Yarmouth School Committee in 1905, becoming its chairman from 1907, and continued in the role for the next 34 years. He was also a member of the Maine Historical Society.
Writing
"Rowe's propensity for writing manifested itself when he was too young to seek an outlet for his literary product through any medium other than the children's column in the household paper," wrote The Druggists Circular in March 1910, in an addendum to his column "Profit from the Advertising Section". He wrote an article, titled "Problems and Opportunities of the Country Druggist", for the March 1909 edition of the circular. Further columns from Rowe included "Wooing the Summer Resort Trade" (June 1909) and "The Country Druggist: His Advertising" (December 1909).
Rowe also contributed paragraphs to magazines and religious publications.
The first recognized book Rowe wrote was the novel-style Shipbuilding Days and Tales of the Sea in 1924. He followed this up in 1929 with Shipbuilding Days in Casco Bay, 1727–1890.
In 1923, Rowe announced that a history of Yarmouth was in the works. The project, titled Ancient North Yarmouth and Yarmouth, Maine 1636–1936: A History, took fourteen more years to complete, covered 300 years of the town's history, and was "so thorough that it is still in print". The book contained 427 pages, fifteen chapters (plus a detailed appendix), was printed on antique book paper and bound in gold-stamped cloth. It was printed by Portland's Southworth–Anthoensen Press, based at 105 Middle Street. It was on sale for $5 at the time of its initial release.
Although Yarmouth's heyday as a shipbuilding town had largely ended by the time he was born, Rowe had an affinity for the sea, for he was also the author of books on the town's maritime history.
Selected bibliography
* Yarmouth Personages, an Introduction. An Attempt to Revive the Memory of Individuals Whose Names Were Once Household Words in Old North Yarmouth and Yarmouth (1910)
* Shipbuilding Days and Tales of the Sea, in Old North Yarmouth and Yarmouth, Maine (1924)

* Ancient North Yarmouth and Yarmouth, Maine, 1636–1936: A History (1937)
* The Maritime History of Maine: Three Centuries of Shipbuilding and Seafaring (1948)
* The Yarmouth Poets (1955)
Personal life
On April 15, 1908, Rowe married Anna M. Dubois (1882–1964), of Nashua, New Hampshire, whom he described as "the one woman".
He was a member of Yarmouth's First Baptist Church, which moved to a new (the current) building at today's 346 Main Street in 1889. Up until the age of seven, he attended the North Yarmouth and Freeport Baptist Meetinghouse on Hillside Street. He was a deacon at the Main Street church, and was also a member of the Free and Accepted Masons (both Blue Lodge and Chapter). He was 32nd-degree and a Past Master and Past High Priest. In addition, he was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star.
In 1940, Rowe was awarded an honorary degree by the University of Maine.
Death
Rowe died in 1955, aged about 73. He is interred in Yarmouth's Riverside Cemetery. His wife of 47 years survived him by nine years, and is buried alongside him. | WIKI |

B-Class Assesment required
This article needs the B-Class checklist filled in to remain a B-Class article. If the checklist is not filled in by 7th August this article will be re-assessed as C-Class. The checklist should be filled out referencing the guidance given at Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/B-Class criteria. For further details please contact the Comics WikiProject. Comics-awb (talk) 11:29, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
* I gave this a C but it is close to a B and has potential to go all the way. Things to do:
* Work through those issue by issue breakdowns from Grant Morrison and integrate them into the PH
* Trim the plot back a bit
* Make sure the plot has suitable primary sourcing - what issues did events take place in?
* More reviews - I'll look around for more but if people see them throw them in
* Sales figures - I'll look them up and drop them in
* As that all comes together it should easily make a B but, more importantly, the article has all the elements in place to shot for FA and above. (Emperor (talk) 16:20, 29 October 2008 (UTC))
I will add on to Reception. I will also attempt to brush up on the plot, I did a quick rundown here and there. I will present the plot in chronological order. I will also check the sales, although I don't know if I can find any good info. Dcdiehardfan (talk) 06:00, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Andrea Velasco
Andrea María Velasco Alessandri (born December 7, 1981, in Santiago, Chile) is a Chilean film, theater and television actress and singer of Italian descent. She is well known for her work in romantic comedies, late night TV shows, and recently, her music career.
Early life and acting
An actress and professional singer, Velasco studied theatrical and musical arts in Chile and Argentina. During her career, she has worked in theatre, TV shows, cinema and radio.
She is best known for her character of Ángela de María in Nicolás López' "Qué Pena" trilogy, "Qué pena tu vida", "Qué pena tu boda" and "Qué pena tu familia", the highest-grossing movies in Chile in 2010, 2011 and 2013, respectively.
In 2011, she was chosen as one of the "100 Young Chilean Leaders" in Culture, an award given by the Strategic Leadership Center from Adolfo Ibáñez University and El Mercurio.
During 2013 she joined TVN's Entertainment department, participating in Solamente Julia with her antagonic role, Isabel Larraín, and then a year after as Denisse Moya in the late night thriller show Vuelve Temprano.
Until 2016, she was an active part of Televisión Nacional de Chile's entertainment department. Now Andrea is based in USA developing her career both in Chile and internationally.
Music career
As a break from her acting career, Velasco recorded her first project as a singer, "Piñata".

Atmosphere Purification Systems Are They will Definitely Essential
From Fabulous News
Jump to: navigation, search
Indoor air flow pollution is certainly one regarding the top 5 ecological dangers to the health and fitness of the open public. To those of you that thought you were safe at your home - you include been misled, in addition to worry this can be corrected.
Every home today is equipped with the weather conditioning and/or heating process but not all connected with them have a fine air freshener. Regardless connected with the sort of process anyone use to interesting and/or heat your home, air flow is constantly being given for your requirements in order regarding you to be relaxed. In HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING systems air flow travels by using a duct technique, over and over yet again, in order that a desired heat range is definitely reached and preserved throughout your home. Even even though air is being filtered during this process not all connected with this is filtered properly and some airborne pathogens are sneaking their approach into your home.
Around regards to the hotter several weeks the HVAC product pumping out cool surroundings continually so that individuals can escape from the heat. Cooling systems do the warm air from often the home, turn that in cool air and subsequently this goes right lower back where the idea belonged, solely colder. As your air fitness is running one day a day it could put you and your family with a higher risk in catching a virus or perhaps bacterial infection especially to be able to those which are more prone (elderly, children, those with breathing difficulties and/or allergies).
A possibility to be able to control air quality in addition to reduce any dangerous pathogens in your house is to consider the use of one other air filter system on your HVAC unit.
What precisely does indeed an "air purifier" do?
Air purification systems, possibly stand alone models or even units that happen to be mounted to an HVAC program, remove gas and compound contaminants from this surroundings. While increasing often the quality of air within the home they furthermore lower the risk regarding viruses nestling within your households waiting for you for you to breathe in them in.
Because air flow is lifted coming from your home towards the visages it is tv because of your HVAC program. But certainly not all impurities are considered into account. If you think about it, surroundings is continuously appearing was terrible through the ducts so that it can be able to be cooled. After it is cooled it is then forced back to be able to your home. Particles can certainly remain in your duct technique without your agreement. The new cool air that will you are getting could very well potentially be contaminated due to the fact that had to pass through the duct technique in order to get to you. HVAC systems carry out filter the air, yet not most particles will be found within the filter. Debris, pollen, canine dancer, mould spores, and dust mite feces are only a good small number of contaminants that can probably be breathed in by simply you and your family members.
Just because you make certain to dust everyday does indeed not mean that almost everything is "clean" in your residense together with when it comes to your car, having a new good car surroundings freshener is also highly essential because a good vehicle freshener can make your own personal life much better. Where do you think most that dust travelled after you wiped it from the television?
My recommendation is usually to consider one of these kind of types of atmosphere filter devices, or a mix of a few, in order to make sure that in house air quality is usually maintained in your home.
a single. Thermodynamic Sterilization Technique -- Just a elegant label for heat sanitation. Weather passes through the software together with heat is used to be able to destroy microorganisms. This will be not a good "filtering" technology. Put simply the idea eliminates any microorganism by means of work with of heat. Although the idea may kill harmful microorganisms, it will also kill any kind of microorganism which could potentially get a issue. This wash unit is created all around often the footage regarding a new certain room. By using electricity for you to operate and maintain quality of air. If you are hunting to improve air level of quality much more than one space, if you have the big home, you should think of purchasing more than 1.
2 . not UV Lights- These types of UV lights are specifically put in within the ductwork of your AIR CONDITIONING technique. As air is blown, cool or comfortable, in order to your home these GOOD lighting send out short wavelengths of sunshine in get to disintegrate organisms. Typically the UV light sterilizes, lessens growth and in addition safeguards the homeowners from breathing in any dangerous bacteria the fact that made the idea past often the surroundings filters within your HVAC program.
3. Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) - A good few decades earlier the idea was considered a "new" emerging technology in typically the AIR CONDITIONING sector. This exclusive air purification system works by using UV lighting in order to motivate the driver. The switch then oxidizes the unsafe pollutants. Because the impurities are being weighed down with oxygen, they die. Gas pollutants and odors will be destroyed but various other pollution, such as airborne dirt and dust, are still existing rent free in your system.
4. HEPA Filters instructions HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are manufactured up of at random assemble fibres composed of fibreglass. These specific filters are designed to target smaller pollution. Many air purification systems can certainly filter out gasses and stench molecules although they are "too big" to get HEPA. These kind of specific filters make sure that the smaller microorganism gets caught lowering the spread of air-borne pathogens. HEPA filters could be combined with any of the above solutions inside of order to maintain high grade quality of air.
So the respond to is CERTAINLY. Air purification systems are necessary in your own personal home especially if you are being given with cool and/or warm air by means of an HVAC process yet a good car scent is likewise recommended to get when you want to go and enjoy the ride. There are many other car accessories of which you can get to transform your life.
The atmosphere you breathe from exterior is totally completely different from the filtered air that you are being provided with in your house. You would think of which the air exterior is more harmful, but often the fact is that on most cases the atmosphere outdoors provides great improvements over the atmosphere in your home.
That is critical to:
a. MAINTAIN - make certain your HVAC system is definitely inspected 2 times some sort of year by simply a specialist mechanic using a 24 position examination. They will help to make sure every thing is working accurately as well as check to see if your ductwork are clean. Acquiring your own personal ductwork cleaned once a good year may decrease your own personal risk to the airborne pathogens that can enter your current home. Upkeep goes quite a distance, be proactive!
b. REMOVE - Make sure a person have some kind of air purification system, as well as some sort of combination of techniques. An individual want to be sure that any kind of dangerous pathogen is usually taken out and is not surviving rent free in your own home. Through Air flow Purification Systems: Are These people Definitely Essential? of any harmful bacteria and/or shape you usually are also making sure of which your own HVAC system will be running successfully.
c. AIR OUT - On a cool time, open your windows! Enable some fresh air in your own home and turn off your own personal air conditioning. The new atmosphere, especially if there is a wind, can move all those unsafe pathogens outside. A little outside never hurt anyone. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

All three were in Santa Fé as early as 1696. In the next year l'Archévèque was married to Antonia Gutierrez, who was born at Tezonco, near the City of Mexico, and was the widow of a certain Tomas de Yta, who had been murdered three years previously near Zacatecas. In the year 1701 he bought a land estate in Santa Fé, but still continued a soldier, and in that capacity visited in the next year the distant Indian villages of Acoma, Laguna, and Zuñi. His wife died in the first year of the eighteenth century, and he continued a widower till 1719, when he married as his second wife the daughter of the Alcalde Mayor Ignacio de Roybal. The second marriage was solemnized in the church of the pueblo of San Ildefonso, and the governor of New Mexico at the time, General Don Antonio Valverde Cosio, was one of the witnesses. l'Archévèque, or, as he now began to call himself, Captain Juan de Archibeque, stood in high credit. He had left the military service with honor, and had become a successful trader, or peddler. His trading journeys extended to Sonora, and he occasionally visited the City of Mexico on business. His notes were current everywhere, and were even accepted and endorsed by men connected with the government. He was a man in easy circumstances—for New Mexico, a wealthy man.

Global monitoring of tropical cyclones with a dual-frequency scatterometer
- Indicates paper has been withdrawn from meeting
- Indicates an Award Winner
Tuesday, 19 January 2010
Michael J. Brennan, NOAA/NWS/NHC, Miami, FL; and R. D. Knabb
Tropical cyclones (TCs) play a prominent role in the global climate. Consistently monitoring TCs worldwide is not only critical for making and improving forecasts and warnings for the protection of life and property, but is also required to reliably determine the existence and magnitude of long-term global or regional changes in TC frequency and intensity. Unfortunately, the tools available for global TC monitoring have always been, and continue to be, inadequate to detect many climatological changes in TC activity.
TC genesis, track, and intensity are monitored by a relatively limited collection of observational technologies with varying accuracy and spatial and temporal sampling. The availability of various technologies has dramatically changed during the past century, and to this day certain observational capabilities, in particular those flown on reconnaissance aircraft, are only available in a portion of a few of the world's TC basins. The most consistent observations of TCs during the past four decades have come from geostationary satellites. The high temporal and spatial coverage they provide make it unlikely for any bona fide TC to go undetected, and they have made it possible to apply the Dvorak Technique globally, providing a consistent method for TC intensity estimation for more than 30 years. The Dvorak Technique has limitations, however, that have been clearly revealed in cyclones extensively sampled by aircraft reconnaissance. However, while in situ wind measurements provided by aircraft represent the most accurate method for determining TC genesis and intensity, they are unavailable in a majority of the world's TCs, and even when available, they have severe sampling limitations.
A desirable enhancement to global TC monitoring would be a tool that combines the broad coverage offered by a satellite with the capability to actually measure the surface winds within a cyclone. Fortunately, satellite mission concepts for a next-generation scatterometer, the Dual Frequency Scatterometer (DFS), have been developed. DFS has the potential to measure ocean surface vector winds in nearly all weather conditions, including the cores of most hurricanes, which is not currently possible with QuikSCAT. This presentation will examine the strengths and weaknesses of the DFS mission for global TC monitoring, with a focus on how such a mission, especially one involving multiple satellites over many years, could improve the climate record of TCs and the understanding of the relationship between TCs and various climate forcing mechanisms. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

The Mughal Empire’s expansionary policies based on strong administrative practices; diverse, and inclusive elites; systematic, centralized, and uniform rule were extremely successful in gaining the faith of its subjects which led to a prosperous and flourishing reign. At the zenith of its territorial expanse, it ruled a quarter of the world’s population with a GDP of $90 billion.
The highest period of growth that the renaissance saw was probably during the reign of Akbar. This was aided by the strategic locations acquired by Akbar. Through warfare and diplomacy, Akbar had gained access to most of the Indian subcontinent that fell on the north of Godavari.
This opened Europe for trade and commerce, and a stable economy could be developed as revenues boomed. Along with economic development, the Mughals also emphasized cultural development. Various fairs in the interest of producers kept the overall aggregate demand of the economy high.
By the time Shah Jahan came into power, the Empire had also extended and flourished. Monuments were erected, and art was appreciated throughout the reign. The Mughals, however, were privileged enough to spend on luxury items, yet Shah Jahan’s obsession with architecture had drained the Mughal resources, and Jehangir’s addiction to opium had given adversaries and the internal administration a free reign to threaten the government exchequer.
Shah Jahan’s illnesses further weakened the internal administrative system and the treasury had to suffer. By this time, the cost of maintaining the luxurious palace, and the court began to exceed the revenue of the state.
Aurangzeb’s dictatorship enabled the resurgence of the political power of the state, but his conservatism continued to undermine its stability. Eventually, He lost popular support. Rajputs who had acted as strong pillars of the empire had turned bitter foes, making this the first major rift within the family and the first sign of division.
Another change that this period saw was in the relationship of the nobles with the monarchs. Instead of directly being paid from the government exchequer, the nobles were allotted lands and were given a share of the revenues. Zamindars were appointed to manage the lands, which led to an emergence of classes in the society which created a hierarchy.
The poor were deprived, and this was seen as the beginning of the corruption of systems in the Empire. The opportunist Marathas saw this as the perfect time to assert militant power which would lead to the terminal decline of the dynasty but Aurangzeb’s battles in the south shook up the economy, and the Mughals never directly gained control over the Deccan. The warrior troops of Marathas and Telugus exhausted all their resources.
The Marathas took over important provinces of Punjab and Bengal which were major contributors to the government’s repository, and the revenues dipped drastically. The loss of these provinces was not just a mere monetary loss for the dynasty but also implied a significant fall in the resources available. These were as important geographically as they were economical.
The lack of access to the ports of Bengal took a toll on trade, and lack of access to the roadways of Punjab impeded movement in the state. Marathas also got an edge over the Empire when its diplomatic relations weakened further and the Empire broke-up.
The increasing number of provinces declared their independence and formed sovereign territories. Nawabs of Bengal, Oudh, Nizam of Hyderabad, and the Shah of Afghanistan cut their ties with the Empire. These independent states would later become easy targets for the English East India Company to exploit.
Aurangzeb’s death saw a war of succession between his three sons. Bahadhur Shah ascended the throne and followed policy and compromise and reconciliation to regain political power which only strengthened the Sikhs and the Marathas. Its subjects also just offered nominal loyalty.
The wars of succession after his death were also fueled by various nobles for their vested interests which made them more acute than ever before. Weak rulers attracted foreign invasions, and this period of decline also saw an establishment of banking firms.
These firms extended their support to the newly entered Dutch and English. The credit facilities were availed by the English while the local authorities struggled for revenue and capital. The local zamindars were now paying taxes to the British, and the crops that were commercially produced were being sent to Europe.
The remnants of the Empire were eventually formally taken over by the British initially by the British English East India Company, and they were subjugated under the Crown. | FINEWEB-EDU |

Using FFmpeg with Docker
Docker containers: the easiest way to distribute softwares
Bruno Celeste
Feb 29, 2016 · 4 min read
What is interesting with Docker containers is that you can use them not only for deploying services to the cloud, but also to distribute softwares that you just need to run locally. It is especially useful when the software has a lot of dependencies and requires to be compiled like FFmpeg. With Docker containers, everything is inside and with just one command line, it just works!
FFmpeg dockerized
FFmpeg is a free software project and is the leading software for everything related to multimedia like video encoding, streaming and muxing.
The problem with FFmpeg is that it is not easy to install. You have to compile it which implies that you need to install a ton of dependencies and have a development environment setup! I’ve been doing this for a decade and it’s not that simple.
A typical FFmpeg image on Docker Hub is +350MB and I wanted it to be as small as possible. So I choose Alpine Linux which is a lightweight Linux distribution, and I ended up with an image of 106MB only. 70% smaller, not bad!
Here is the FFmpeg build configuration used in this image:
How to use FFmpeg with Docker
If you don’t have Docker installed yet, follow this guide.
Once Docker is properly setup, it is pretty straightforward to use the FFmpeg image. Instead of using the ffmpeg command line, you call docker to run the opencoconut/ffmpeg image in a container. That’s it!
You should be aware of 2 caveats by using FFmpeg from a container:
1. The input file must be publicly available on a web server since the container doesn’t have access to the local file system.
2. The FFmpeg command must pipe the result to STDOUT, again for the same reason of not accessing the local file system.
The #2 is a big issue, because there are some technical limitations depending on the format you want to use. For instance, MP4, which is the most popular video format out there, can’t be used with a pipe as output. You will get this message if you try:
[mp4 @ 0x556c59f21260] muxer does not support non seekable output
To work around this problem, we can use the current path on the Docker host’s filesystem (your computer) as a volume inside the container with the “-v” option. So now we can access files on our local disk for input / output and use FFmpeg without these limitations.
This command is too long, so let’s create an alias by adding this line at the end of your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file:
Now FFmpeg can be used like it’s installed on your computer:
Docker image versioning
The FFmpeg team releases a new version every 3 months on average and I wanted this Docker image to follow their version numbering scheme for sake of simplicity.
At this time, we only have two versions: 3.0 and git. The version 3.0 is the latest stable version and was released on February 15th, 2016. When using git, you will use the development version which is working fine 99% of the time.
By using docker run opencoconut/ffmpeg, you will use the latest stable version by default. To use a specific FFmpeg version, just run it like this:
You can find all versions on the Docker Hub tag page.
If you have any feedbacks, you can send me a message on Twitter or by email. The project is on Github, so feel free to contribute!

Implementation Techniques for Mathematical Model Checking
Wolfgang Schreiner
Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria
Abstract:
The aim of the RISCAL software is the analysis of theories and algorithms over discrete domains as they arise in computer science, discrete mathematics, logic, and algebra. For this purpose, RISCAL provides an expressive specification language based on a strongly typed variant of first-order logic with a rich set of types and operations in which theories can be formulated and algorithms can be specified; nevertheless the validity of all formulas and the correctness of all algorithms is decidable. This is because all RISCAL types have finite sizes and thus the underlying model is finite; the sizes of the types and thus of the model is configurable by model parameters. RISCAL thus represents a tool for the automated validation and (more important) falsification of conjectures, in order to avoid fruitless attempts to prove invalid statements. The system has been mainly developed for educational purposes but it also has been applied in research.
In this talk, we present and compare the various decision techniques that have been applied in the implementation of RISCAL. The original implementation was based on “semantic evaluation” where all syntactic phrases of the specification language were translated into an executable representation of their (generally nondeterministic) denotational semantics; while this mechanism is reasonably efficient, its main advantage is actually its transparency: it gives easily rise to visual representations of the semantics and to the generation of counterexamples for invalid conjectures. Later (by Franz-Xaver Reichl), an alternative decision mechanism was developed in the form of a translation of RISCAL into the SMT-LIB theory QF_UFBV (unquantified formulas over bit vectors with uninterpreted sort and function symbols) which can be decided by various SMT solvers. While this decision mechanism is generally much more efficient and allows the analysis of much larger domains, there are also situations when it is inferior to the semantics-based approach; we discuss the pros and cons of both approaches based on both synthetic and real-world benchmarks.
These techniques are complemented by the recent addition of an implementation (by Ágoston Sütő) of the verification of transition systems with respect to linear temporal logic specifications by their translation to finite automata.
Short Bio:
Wolfgang Schreiner is an associate professor at the Research Institute for Symbolic Computation (RISC) of the Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria. He is working in formal methods of computer science (with previous research in parallel computing and functional programming), and has produced various software packages related to formal semantics, specification, and verification, in particular the RISC ProofNavigator, the RISC ProgramExplorer, and the RISC Algorithm Language (RISCAL). Formerly he directed a degree programme on Computer-based Learning at the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences in Hagenberg. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Model driven strategy for system development
Before I want to explain about the model driven development strategy I want to go through the definition that I have learnt about it. And here it goes:
A system development strategy that emphasizes the drawing of the system models to help visualize and analyze problems, define business requirements and design the information systems.
I hope you got the definition. What I know about it is that based on the system modeling this strategy is oldest and still in practice to design the information system. So here comes the new thing what is system model? One has to know that it is the visualization for the final system which represents the reality. Not only this, the final system developed can provide the proper and also the improved communication between the users, analysts, designers and builders. This is not different from the basic phases. One more thing about it is that the after the system is implemented the models can be served as documentation for any changes that may be required during the support stage and operation.
why model driven strategy? why to use it? the answer is that the specifications all seems to more detailed and more informative. The requirements for the business and the designs for the systems can be easily expressed in pictures rather than the words. Moreover, being the model driven approaches it becomes easier to identify the problems and for the solution there can be alternative. System designs becomes more and stable and flexible as due to their pre analysis before the build process. So it happens to be stable system if the clear model is given in the first time.
Having these advantages it is more time consuming as the time is wasted to draw the clear view of the models. This happens when the user are really confused with their systems. Before the design the requirements must be clearly provided and such designs must be well documented with the technical stuffs which may be a hard work sometimes.

Estadio Eduardo Santos
Estadio Eduardo Santos is a multi-use stadium in Santa Marta, Colombia, used mostly for football matches. It is the largest sports facility in Magdalena Department with a maximum capacity of 23,000 people. The stadium is named after politician and publisher Eduardo Santos, President of the Republic of Colombia from 1938 to 1942.
Unión Magdalena
Since its opening in 1951, Estadio Eduardo Santos has been home to the football club Unión Magdalena, and witnessed the birth of prominent figures of Colombian football, including former captain Colombia Carlos 'El pibe' ('The Kid') Valderrama. In 2002, a monumental sculpture of Carlos Valderrama was unveiled at the stadium entrance in a grand ceremony with fireworks attended by about 14,000 people, including 3,000 special guests. The 6.5 meter high, eight ton monument sculpted by Amilkar Ariza, is considered the world's largest bronze for a footballer. It has become the most visited sculpture in Santa Marta.
In 1968, with a final game against Deportivo Cali played in the Eduardo Santos Stadium, Union Magdalena won its first and only Colombian Football League Championship to date. During the celebration a motor vehicle accident took the life of a fan in the caravan of triumph, and it is said that Magdalena can never again rise to champion due to the "Curse of the Celebration.”
Renovations
1998 - With an investment of 340 million pesos, the capacity of the stadium's South Stand was increased by 3,700 spectators.
2008 - A government initiative to restructure the system was launched in response to poor stadium conditions that had resulted from years of neglect.
2013 - On March 3, the Unión Magdalena played their last game in the stadium against Llaneros FC, in compliance with the order to permanently close the Eduardo Santos due to precarious safety conditions for those attending. Plans were announced for an investment of 20,000 million pesos in a new stadium Eduardo Santos on the same site, with input from the National Government.
2014 - Plans are in progress to construct the new football stadium in time for the Bolivarian Games 2017. The new stadium is to be relocated to the Villa Deportiva Bolivariana. A center for indoor sports such as gymnastics, boxing, and weightlifting is to be built at the current site of Estadio Eduardo Santos, which will be demolished due to deterioration of its physical infrastructure. | WIKI |

Does HRT cause breast cancer?
HRT can increase the risk of breast cancer however the increased risk is small and will depend on the type of HRT and how long it is taken.
What is HRT?
HRT is a treatment to help with menopausal symptoms. It increases the level of hormones in the body that naturally reduce during the menopause (when periods stop). For some women, HRT can vastly improve quality of life, and the risks of taking it needs to be balanced against the benefits.
Why does HRT increase breast cancer risk?
It’s not fully understood why HRT increases the risk of breast cancer, but research suggests that this is due to the higher levels of oestrogen. Some (although not all) breast cancers can use oestrogen to help them to grow.
There are some factors that can influence the risk of breast cancer.
• How long you take HRT for. The longer you use HRT, the greater the risk
• The type of HRT you are taking. Breast cancer risk is greater with combined HRT (which contains oestrogen and progestogen) than with oestrogen-only HRT
Should I take HRT if I have a family history of breast cancer?
If you have inherited the altered breast cancer genes BRCA1 or 2, speak to your family history or genetics specialist before using HRT.
Making the decision to take HRT
Talking to your GP, practice nurse or gynaecologist is a good place to start and will depend on what side effects of the menopause you are experiencing and how they are affecting your everyday life.

Rh in request: they ought to accept those who will have them. The young men of our days are somewhat selfish: they only marry when it suits them; and never think about other persons’ diffidence. The heavens are not in your favour:—planets have been consulted, and they are not auspicious to such as are born, like you, in April. Only look what the Almanack says: ‘Maids born this month will have kind, good-natured countenances, be of slender form, and changeable in their inclinations, much like the weather, and must keep an eye upon their virgin mood. Should a smiling wooer come, let them not reject his offer!’ See how well that suits you! The suitor has been, and none will come after him, for you have rejected his offer.”
“Mother, mother! heed not what the planet says! my heart whispers me that I ought to love and honour the man whom I wed; and if I find no such man, or am sought by none, let me remain single all my life. I can maintain myself by my own hands. I will learn to be both content and happy; and nurse you in your old age, as a good daughter ought. Yet, if the man of my heart should come, mother, oh, then bless us both; and inquire not whether he be great, honoured, and wealthy, but only whether he loves, and is beloved.”

becoming a conference interpreter without a degree?
I am an American but also fluent in Hungarian, and after doing all my studies in America, where I grew up (taking French in school) I returned to Hungary and did some education here. So, I now speak English and Hungarian at a native level and French at a very high level. The problem is I never got my degree. So...how would I go about becoming a freelance interpreter? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* You've probably been to our articles on Interpreting and Translation with their many links that might give you some idea about the scope. The bodies arranging conferences might like some proof of your skills and starting in other areas with less formal requirements might be a first step. Otherwise, if you qualify as a special case, there's possibly a way to have university entrance or credits awarded in some other way. Did you start your degree and didn't finish, or are you looking to skip the degree? In that case there may be a non-university qualification you could do. Speaking to a careers advisor at a university or training college can help. Julia Rossi (talk) 05:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Just a warning to you: being fluent is never enough to be an interpreter. There are specific techniques that make you a good interpreter, real time spoken translation is very tricky, even if you are completely bilingual. --Lgriot (talk) 07:46, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
"Can not" vs. "cannot" in the 1860s
Can anyone tell me if the correct spelling of "cannot" has changed since the mid-19th century? I’d better explain why I’m asking this. Two years ago I raised an issue on the Gettysburg Address talk page – here, and Clio’s recent post on the Humanities desk (with which I entirely agree btw) about the most moving and important political speeches in history, reminded me that it went nowhere. It deserves revisiting.
After reflection, I still think it’s quite wrong to record Lincoln as having said "... we can not dedicate ... we can not consecrate ... we can not hallow ...". It’s not that "can not" is not a valid sequence of words; it's quite valid in some contexts (I can not only tell you what this Urdu word means, but also speak the language fluently) but it means something entirely different from "cannot" (I cannot speak Urdu at all). The "can not" spellings may have appeared in Lincoln’s handwritten drafts, but the sense of what he intended the listeners to understand can only properly be conveyed in writing by "cannot"s.
However, this speech was spoken in 1863, and maybe we need to honour the spelling conventions of the time. One poster said "Perhaps you've simply discovered that common usage of that era often spelled out "cannot" as "can not"". It's become common usage these days too, but that doesn't make it correct any more than spelling "a lot" as "alot" is correct, ubiquitescent as it now seems to be.
So, would Lincoln’s schoolma'am have corrected his drafts to change all the "can not"s to "cannots"? -- JackofOz (talk) 02:44, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
what are you talking about? "closed" form, cannot, is just a stylistic choice. it's not a special grammatical construction. your style guide will tell you to prefer it, but that's it. you don't have to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:22, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* The OED has citations for "cannot" going back to 1400. Its only citation of "can not" is from 1451. Its latest citation, from 1827, also the closest to Lincoln's time, also uses "cannot." -Elmer Clark (talk) 04:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* That's interesting because I vaguely recall seeing something about newspapers combining words to save white space but can't remember anything about it except that it was some kind of wartime (as in first or second ww) economy – maybe it was just newspeak. Is "alot" all over now? For no reason I've always written it that way, inviting heaps of correcting from other people. Now will just say with confidence, it's ubiquitescent like the ubiquitous drunk. Julia Rossi (talk) 04:50, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Is it really just a stylistic choice, 79.122? The two forms mean quite different things. Just as you can't use "cannot" in "I can not only tell you what this Urdu word means ...", you can't use "can not" in "I cannot speak Urdu at all". Any well-written encyclopedia article, newspaper, novel or thesis will not use "can not" except in special contexts, and they use varying styles. If all the style guides agree on this, then it's not a style issue but a spelling issue. (Btw, I'm tempted to take with a grain of salt any written advice on spelling that spells the first word of its sentences without capitalising the first letter.) -- JackofOz (talk) 06:16, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* I think he's right about it being a stylistic choice. The OED calls "cannot" "the ordinary modern way of writing 'can not.'". -Elmer Clark (talk) 06:36, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Maybe I'm a bit thick today, but I remain very unconvinced. There's a world of difference between one's inability to do something (I cannot do X), and a person's prerogative or freedom to not do something that they're capable of doing (I can not do X). How does style enter into such a choice? -- JackofOz (talk) 07:30, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Perhaps a better way of clarifying the distinction, as I see it, is that the "not" in "cannot" negates the "can"; whereas the "not" in "can not" not only doesn't negate the "can", it has nothing whatever to do with it, since it refers to whatever word follows "not". -- JackofOz (talk) 09:01, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Jack, are you proposing cannot not? There's a place for that, definitely. Although it's beginning to look like "carrot" Julia Rossi (talk) 09:22, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Julia, can you not see that I'm not proposing cannot not? :) However, you've identified yet another valid form of words. (This movie is absolutely superb. You simply cannot not see it! - to which a rebellious type might respond I can not see it if I so choose). -- JackofOz (talk) 09:40, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Consider:
* "I can NOT only tell you what this Urdu word means, but also speak the language fluently." and
* "I can tell you what this Urdu word means, as I speak the language fluently." or
* "I can only tell you what this Urdu word means because I speak the language very poorly."
* "I canNOT tell you what this Urdu word means because I do NOT speak the language at all."
* The word "not" in the first sentence negates the "only". The speaker clearly can tell and will tell what the translation is. The "not" implies that s/he can do more than just (only) translate a single term.
* In the last case the "not" negates the "can" as the speaker is illiterate in the specific language. --Cookatoo.ergo.ZooM (talk) 09:27, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Yep, that's exactly what I'm on about. -- JackofOz (talk) 09:40, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Why does it have to be one meaning or the other? Sure, there are times when "not" can follow "can" without meaning "to be unable to," but there's really no reason to believe "can not" doesn't also sometimes simply have the same meaning as "cannot" (whew!). Language isn't that logical. -Elmer Clark (talk) 10:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Is this beginning to be about the not-Urdu word for carrot not in a can or not carrot-can? Because I can't... not as in cannot see it. PS Elmer Clark can't not be valiant in this attempt to stick with it, the not of it. Nor the can. Julia Rossi (talk) 11:25, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Jack's question is really about spelling, which was catch-as-catch-can back then. I think the comparison with "a lot" is valid; the adverb should be "alot", I love you alot, but we stubbornly spell it like the noun. Spelling is arbitrary and has no correlation with meaning. It is true that we can now make the distinction between "can not" and "cannot", a distinction ably if necessarily confusingly described above, but it should come as no surprise that it was not always so. It is a simple matter to construe "can not" the way we now construe "cannot". As for Lincoln, it was a speech, and it doesn't matter how he would have spelled it or how it would have been spelled in his day because it isn't a written thing. It has to be spelled so as to make sense to the reader now, and "can not" has come to mean something other than "cannot". It is no longer a stylistic choice; "cannot" is not a spelling option but a separate word. --Milkbreath (talk) 14:20, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* As it was a speech, I would suspect that Lincoln's drafts reflect how he intended to deliver the speech, emphasizing the "not" in "cannot" by pronouncing the two words distinctly, rather than trying to be grammatically correct. — Laura Scudder ☎ 14:57, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
As a side note, Lewis Carroll was fond of the spelling "ca'n't" with TWO apostrophes... AnonMoos (talk) 12:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Alrighty then, let's delve into this a bit more.
* @ Elmer Clark: You're saying that when we read "I can not understand ", we automatically interpret it as a statement about my inability to comprehend something, not as anything else. Your mind isn't tricked, even momentarily, into thinking it's going to be about something I can do? Well, I have to tell you that my mind is tricked . Maybe that's because it was thoroughly ingrained in me in my younger halcyon days that "cannot" must be used in statements of inability or incapacity (or, as in Lincoln's speech, statements about what we must not do), and "can not" is reserved for other meanings. Maybe I would have been tricked anyway; I'll never know now. I never momentarily misinterpret "I do not understand ..." as if it's going to be about something I do (rather than something I am failing to do). "I can not understand ..." is a different ball game, though. I suppose people who were never taught this rule are lucky not to have become its psychological hostages, and maybe I'm just an inflexible old git.
* @ Julia: I'm speechless. (I'd have said that in Urdu, but I cannot speak the language.)
* @ Milkbreath: I think you're agreeing with me, that the text of the Gettysburg Address should use "cannot"s rather than "can not"s. Welcome to the team. You'll receive your instructions shortly.
* @ Laura Scudder: Normally, in a neutral context, I pronounce "cannot" with a slight stress on the "can". But it's curious that when I want to emphasise my inability to do something, I tend to stress the CAN part, not the NOT part. The more fervently I deny my capacity, the more I stress the CAN part. I know it isn't logical, but we're all agreed logic has no role here. Perhaps the NOT part is normally stressed in the USA. If a writer wishes to stress a particular syllable, there are ways of doing this. We underline, we highlight, we use stress marks, we capitalise the syllable etc; but we never simply separate the syllable, except maybe in a rough handwritten draft of something. If your theory is correct, I cannot think of any other case where the way of stressing the final syllable of a word is to separate it out as an independent word.
* If the advocates of the style theory are right, "cannot" and "can not" are just different ways of spelling the same thing, and if one uses both versions in the same text, all they're guilty of is stylistic inconsistency, not of any spelling error. Well, try re-spelling the example I gave above: A - This movie is absolutely superb. You simply can not not see it!. B - I cannot see it if I so choose. That doesn't work for me, I'm afraid. This proves, if nothing else, that are cases where you have to use "cannot", and there are cases where you have to use "can not". Is that not sufficient to demonstrate they're different in nature and meaning, and not simply spelling variants of each other? -- JackofOz (talk) 22:47, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Wunnerful, Jack. Just wunnerful. Use and choice is everything. I'm glad to have a lot cleared up, too. ; ) Julia Rossi (talk) 22:54, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* You can use the spelling difference with cannot, with can not meaning "able to not do", but I'm not sure it would be enough on its own to get the point across. In other cases you need italics or some other form of emphasis: "I'm not talking to my brother. Well, I'm not not talking to him, I'm just not talking to him." kwami (talk) 00:15, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Would I be wrong in using the word "reinstatement" to recall an employee who resigned the job voluntarily
where does the word "reinstatement" orginate in employment law? (or) what is the meaning of the word "reinstatement" in employment law? (or) One of my employee resigned from the job voluntarily and I want him to come back and do the same kind of work in the same position he held before. Can I write to him telling that the company is offering you "reinstatement"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:03, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* The good old dictionary gives the definition of reinstate as "to put back into a position formerly held" Looks like the right word to use in your situation. I'd doubt that the word originates from employment law though, as that is a relatively new concept. D0762 (talk) 16:28, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Or use Plain English and write: "We are offering you your old job back." <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:56, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* "Reinstatement" doesn't sound quite right to me - it has overtones of the situation where someone has been unfairly or illegally fired and gets their job back. I'd agree with 64.228 in recommending plain English in this case. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 20:07, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Additionally, it suggests a rank, standing or other capacity in which the person was first instated, but which was revoked. Dictionary.com has this example of use: to reinstate the ousted chairman.. Since your company does not "instate" its employees, they can't be "reinstated", even if they were "ousted". If you really want the former employee to return, why not use warmer language: "We miss you and would be happy to see you come back." --Lambiam 23:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Lambian. Can you please explain the meaning of instate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 11:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
* Again from the good old dictionary, instate: "to put or place in a certain state or position; to establish in office; to install" D0762 (talk) 18:41, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
"whose" or "of which" - when referring to inanimate objects
HOOTmag (talk) 19:46, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* What's more grammatically correct: "a house whose door is red", or "a house the door of which is red"?
* What sounds better: "a house the door of which is red", or "a house of which the door is red"?
* I don't know about the grammar of the particular construction, but "a house with a red door" sounds best to me. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:52, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Yeah, but (in my first question) I would like to know whether "a house whose door is red" is grammatically wrong. HOOTmag (talk) 19:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* "A house whose door is red" is perfectly acceptable standard English. I've occasionally seen this usage hypercorrected to (for example) "a house that's door is red", but that is just plain wrong (IMHO) . AndrewWTaylor (talk)
* P.S. to answer your questions more specifically : (1) they are equally 'correct', but the construction with 'whose' is more natural and flows better; (2) I find both of these quite ugly: the second perhaps slightly less so, again on grounds of 'flow'. Use 'whose'. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 20:17, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Thank you. I still don't know why Collins Dictionary (being a british dictionary) translates "Whose": "Of whom" (rather than: "Of whom, of which"), and gives examples all of which are for persons rather than for inanimate objects.
* However, See "COMMOM ERRORS IN ENGLISH AND HOW TO AVOID THEM" (1943, the auther being american), p. 90:
* "Of which is commonly applied to things; whose to persons. Thus: my farm, the acreage of which, etc; Tenth Street, at the end of which I live. whose may be used of any object that has life...whose may also be used of objects in personification...To avoid awkward constructions, whose may be used for of which in speaking of inanimate objects. Thus: a city, whose builder and maker is God, a cube whose sides are made of metal."
* Do you agree? HOOTmag (talk) 21:02, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* I use "whose" to refer to inanimate objects in professional writing and have never been corrected. I think things have changed since 1943. -- Mwalcoff (talk) 23:40, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Thank you for your clear response. HOOTmag (talk) 08:02, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
* What was originally the neuter-gender form of who. That is, these were inflections of the same root. The genitive of both was whose, which was later extended to cover which as well. Later still, when gender was lost in English and who and what came to be seen as distinct words, whose was reanalyzed as the genitive of who, leaving what as defective, without any genitive form at all. There have been various ways of remedying this, none of which have been fully accepted: whats, thats, or re-extending whose.
* The OED says that whose is "The genitive case of WHO (and in [Old English] of neuter WHAT )", but then goes on to give modern example of neuter whose, from
* 1382 The loond of oyle and of hony, ... whos stones ben yren, to
* 1981 There were pictures whose context she understood immediately.
* BTW, the same relationship held between he and it (originally hit), the genitive of both was his. That's why you get his referring to inanimate objects in the King James bible. Paralleling whose, his was reanalyzed as the genitive only of he, but in this case a new form was universally accepted for it: its. "Whats", on the other hand, doesn't even make it into the OED.

"London, England". D'oh!
Why do American films invariably say "London, England" when indicating by a title where a scene is? This seems absurd, since surely even Americans know where London is, they cannot be that ignorant can they? They never say "New York, USA" (or "Washington, USA" if you like) or "Paris, France". Even if there is some Canadian place called London, its unlikely an audience is going to confuse them. And from a film title I understand there is a "Paris, Texas". Yet I've never seen "Paris, France" as a title. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* There's a London, Kentucky and a London, Ontario. Don't want to confuse the viewers. Of course, they usually show an establishing shot pf the Big Ben tower, too. Corvus cornix talk 20:44, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* My impression is that Americans in movies virtually always do say "Paris, France". I've heard that far more often than "London, England". -- JackofOz (talk) 21:07, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Good question. I'm picturing a movie, scene change, stock long shot of Big Ben and the Thames, caption says "London, England". That seems right. I think you don't appreciate how insular America is. If it simply said "London", it's not that we wouldn't know which London is meant, it's that it would give too much weight to a city not ours. When a Brit sees the caption "London", the name resonates with lost dreams of empire, with the tolling of that stentorian bell, the very grandfather's clock of history. When an American sees that caption, he thinks, "Just like a Brit; they still think they're the center of the universe." "London, England" takes it down a peg. Same goes for "Paris". Not "Moscow", so much, oddly. I don't know why that should be unless it's the prosaic infelicity of USSR or the importance accorded an enemy. In newer films I'd expect "Moscow, Russia". --Milkbreath (talk) 22:23, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* "Moscow" as a personification of the USSR is like "Washington" as a personification of the US. You get the same with "Tokyo" in WWII films, or these days "Bagdad". Us vs. them: there's no possibility of confusion. You'll see "Moscow, Russia" when it's just a city. And once the scene is set, you no longer need the country: meanwhile, in London, ...
* I don't think anyone would think "just like a Brit" if "London" appeared without "England". Hardly anyone in the US knows or cares whether Brits think they're the center of the world, anymore than whether the Chinese or French do. But you're right, Usonians tend to think they are the center of the world. Not including the country wouldn't be so much a problem of ambiguity (hardly any Usonians have heard of London, Ontario), but of people getting lost: "Wait, we're in England now?" Either that, or the city isn't mentioned at all, and the audience has to deduce where the scene is set. kwami (talk) 23:26, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* I've been to Berlin, Rome, Paris and Vienna without ever leaving a 30-mile area of Ohio. So if you're standing in, say, Newton Falls, Ohio, you really have to give the country name when mentioning a foreign city. -- Mwalcoff (talk) 23:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* I am from the Canadian London (we even have a fake Thames!), and the local newspaper always puts "London, England" when necessary. Elsewhere in Ontario, newspapers just say London, and "London, Ontario" if necessary. This reminds me of the Jeopardy contestant a couple of weeks ago, who said she travelled from California (or something) to London to see some band...but she meant London, Ontario, har har. (By the way, I could go to London and Paris and Delaware and Melbourne in the same day!) Adam Bishop (talk) 01:19, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
* Don't London, Ontario, residents sometimes refer to the city in England as "The Other London?" Anyway, to flip the original question on its head, one can accuse Britons of erring by not including an "England" or "UK" when they speak geographically. For example, when I saw that Wikipedia had a featured article called List of Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Cleveland, I assumed it would talk about the site of the Michelson–Morley experiment at Case Western Reserve University or the salt mines where they count neutrinos. Instead, it's a list of stuff in England. British people also talk about "Manchester," "Birmingham" and "Bristol" without a qualifier, perhaps unaware that those words mean different things to different people. (As does "Boston," I guess.) To me, Birmingham, unless otherwise differentiated, is in Alabama, Manchester is in New Hampshire and Bristol is in Connecticut or Virginia. -- Mwalcoff (talk) 02:44, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
* I don't think I've ever heard anyone call it "the other London". Adam Bishop (talk) 07:24, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
* A note: 'Site of Special Scientific Interest' is a designation awarded to, ahem, Sites of Special Scientific Interest 'including National Nature Reserves, Ramsar Sites, Special Protection Areas, and Special Areas of Conservation.' (for example my beloved Chessel Bay) in the UK. (And in Hong Kong, apparently). --JoeTalkWork 12:23, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
In "Glitter and Be Gay", Cunegonde sings "Here I am in Paris, France", which usually gets a laugh because although it's an American musical, the character is, after all, French herself. But the "France" is required for a rhyme with "bitter circumstance". —Angr If you've written a quality article... 04:22, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
* Yes, I can imagine how being in Paris, France, would be a bitter circumstance. Or anywhere in France, for that matter. --ChokinBako (talk) 05:06, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
* Isn't it the habit of many Americans when naming US cities to add the name of the state for clarity, as in "Nashville, Tennessee", or "Tucson, Arizona", and mightn't the "London, England" simply be an extension of this? Koolbreez (talk) 08:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
* If Americans say "Nashville, Tennessee" (not "Nashville, USA") and "London, England" (not "London, UK"), then I would also expect them to say "Paris, Île-de-France", "Rome, Lazio" and "Berlin, Brandenburg". For some reason, I've never heard them saying that. — Kpalion(talk) 18:15, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
* No. In the Usonian mind, at least, European states are more-or-less equivalent to US states. Paris, France is entirely equivalent to London, England and Nashville, Tennessee. Saying Paris, Île-de-France would be like saying Nashville, Davidson County.
* You hit on the difference yourself, by linking Île-de-France, which tells me you understand that most people aren't going to know what that is. Having to look the clarification up in an atlas defeats its whole point. kwami (talk) 20:03, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
* I think Koolbreez is on the money. They distinguish the Ohio Springfield from all the other Springfields in the USA by saying "Springfield, Ohio". They distinguish the French Paris from the Texan Paris by saying "Paris, France". That does the job, and there's no need to get as specific as Kpalion suggests. If there were another Paris in France, say in Provence, then they'd need to specify which French Paris they're talking about. -- JackofOz (talk) 22:09, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
* I think the original question needs a big "citation needed" banner. -- LarryMac | Talk 13:30, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
* Hi. Many areas around the world with historical British influence use English and European place names. For example, there's Paris, Ontario, Delhi, Ontario, and Lucknow, Ontario, and there used to be a "Berlin, Ontario", before it was renamed Kitchener in WWI. Also, many place names in England adn elsewhere in Europe are street and town names in Ontario and elsewhere in Canada, such as Abbotsford, Aberdeen, Adelaide, Amsterdam, Arthur, Bathurst, Birmingham, Brant, Brisbane, Bristol, Britannia, Brock, Buckingham, Burnaby, Caledon, Camelot, Cambridge, Canterbury, Charleston, Cochrane, Cockburn, Darlington, Delaware, Denmark, Don, Dorchester, Dublin, Durham, Edinborough, Essex, Exeter... you get the picture. In fact, a large percentage of formerly-British places have such names. Checking my atlas, there's at least 4 Londons, 4 Berlins, and 7 Parises. Hope this helps. Thanks. ~ A H 1 (TCU) 23:47, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Interestingly, while from non-Americans "Washington" is usually sufficient, people in the U.S. will invariably write "Washington, D.C." to distinguish it from Washington state or the many small towns also named Washington. --D. Monack | talk 01:09, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
* In my American experience London and Paris by default mean the ones in England and France, unless there's a local context. And to add to the list of placename duplicates -- there is the fun example of Vancouver (British Columbia) and Vancouver, Washington. The wikipedia page names tell you something about which tends to be the default, yet the Washington Vancouver is quite a bit older and seems to harbor a low-level, semi-fun resentment of that upstart Vancouver up north. And to add to confusion, if you get onto I-5 in Washington you can go north to Vancouver or south to Vancouver. I have even heard about people who have driven for hours before realizing they were going the wrong way. Pfly (talk) 01:24, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
To the original question – my guess is that if American movies consistently say "London, England" (can't say I've noticed!) it's not so much because the audience might otherwise mistake it for one of the many lesser Londons, as because the writer thinks the audience needs to be reminded just which foreign country London is in. It's less likely to occur in dialogue, I think, because each syllable takes time while a longer written title does not. — By the way, I live in California, but I visited New York once, and found it closed for Sunday. —Tamfang (talk) 00:50, 11 April 2008 (UTC) | WIKI |
»Consul Commands (CLI)
Consul is controlled via a very easy to use command-line interface (CLI). Consul is only a single command-line application: consul. This application then takes a subcommand such as "agent" or "members". The complete list of subcommands is in the navigation to the left.
The consul CLI is a well-behaved command line application. In erroneous cases, a non-zero exit status will be returned. It also responds to -h and --help as you'd most likely expect. And some commands that expect input accept "-" as a parameter to tell Consul to read the input from stdin.
To view a list of the available commands at any time, just run consul with no arguments:
$ consul
Usage: consul [--version] [--help] <command> [<args>]
Available commands are:
acl Interact with Consul's ACLs
agent Runs a Consul agent
catalog Interact with the catalog
connect Interact with Consul Connect
debug Records a debugging archive for operators
event Fire a new event
exec Executes a command on Consul nodes
force-leave Forces a member of the cluster to enter the "left" state
info Provides debugging information for operators.
intention Interact with Connect service intentions
join Tell Consul agent to join cluster
keygen Generates a new encryption key
keyring Manages gossip layer encryption keys
kv Interact with the key-value store
leave Gracefully leaves the Consul cluster and shuts down
lock Execute a command holding a lock
login Login to Consul using an auth method
logout Destroy a Consul token created with login
maint Controls node or service maintenance mode
members Lists the members of a Consul cluster
monitor Stream logs from a Consul agent
operator Provides cluster-level tools for Consul operators
reload Triggers the agent to reload configuration files
rtt Estimates network round trip time between nodes
services Interact with services
snapshot Saves, restores and inspects snapshots of Consul server state
tls Builtin helpers for creating CAs and certificates
validate Validate config files/directories
version Prints the Consul version
watch Watch for changes in Consul
To get help for any specific command, pass the -h flag to the relevant subcommand. For example, to see help about the join subcommand:
$ consul join -h
Usage: consul join [options] address ...
Tells a running Consul agent (with "consul agent") to join the cluster
by specifying at least one existing member.
HTTP API Options
-http-addr=<address>
The `address` and port of the Consul HTTP agent. The value can be
an IP address or DNS address, but it must also include the port.
This can also be specified via the CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR environment
variable. The default value is http://127.0.0.1:8500. The scheme
can also be set to HTTPS by setting the environment variable
CONSUL_HTTP_SSL=true.
-token=<value>
ACL token to use in the request. This can also be specified via the
CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN environment variable. If unspecified, the query
will default to the token of the Consul agent at the HTTP address.
Command Options
-wan
Joins a server to another server in the WAN pool.
»Autocompletion
The consul command features opt-in subcommand autocompletion that you can enable for your shell with consul -autocomplete-install. After doing so, you can invoke a new shell and use the feature.
For example, assume a tab is typed at the end of each prompt line:
$ consul e
event exec
$ consul r
reload rtt
$ consul operator raft
list-peers remove-peer
»Environment Variables
In addition to CLI flags, Consul reads environment variables for behavior defaults. CLI flags always take precedence over environment variables, but it is often helpful to use environment variables to configure the Consul agent, particularly with configuration management and init systems.
These environment variables and their purpose are described below:
»CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR
This is the HTTP API address to the local Consul agent (not the remote server) specified as a URI with optional scheme:
CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR=127.0.0.1:8500
or as a Unix socket path:
CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR=unix:///var/run/consul_http.sock
If the https:// scheme is used, CONSUL_HTTP_SSL is implied to be true.
»CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN
This is the API access token required when access control lists (ACLs) are enabled, for example:
CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN=aba7cbe5-879b-999a-07cc-2efd9ac0ffe
»CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN_FILE
This is a path to a file containing the API access token required when access control lists (ACLs) are enabled, for example:
CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN_FILE=/path/to/consul.token
»CONSUL_HTTP_AUTH
This specifies HTTP Basic access credentials as a username:password pair:
CONSUL_HTTP_AUTH=operations:JPIMCmhDHzTukgO6
»CONSUL_HTTP_SSL
This is a boolean value (default is false) that enables the HTTPS URI scheme and SSL connections to the HTTP API:
CONSUL_HTTP_SSL=true
»CONSUL_HTTP_SSL_VERIFY
This is a boolean value (default true) to specify SSL certificate verification; setting this value to false is not recommended for production use. Example for development purposes:
CONSUL_HTTP_SSL_VERIFY=false
»CONSUL_CACERT
Path to a CA file to use for TLS when communicating with Consul.
CONSUL_CACERT=ca.crt
»CONSUL_CAPATH
Path to a directory of CA certificates to use for TLS when communicating with Consul.
CONSUL_CAPATH=ca_certs/
»CONSUL_CLIENT_CERT
Path to a client cert file to use for TLS when verify_incoming is enabled.
CONSUL_CLIENT_CERT=client.crt
»CONSUL_CLIENT_KEY
Path to a client key file to use for TLS when verify_incoming is enabled.
CONSUL_CLIENT_KEY=client.key
»CONSUL_TLS_SERVER_NAME
The server name to use as the SNI host when connecting via TLS.
CONSUL_TLS_SERVER_NAME=consulserver.domain
»CONSUL_GRPC_ADDR
Like CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR but configures the address the local agent is listening for gRPC requests. Currently gRPC is only used for integrating Envoy proxy and must be enabled explicitly in agent configuration.
CONSUL_GRPC_ADDR=127.0.0.1:8502
or as a Unix socket path:
CONSUL_GRPC_ADDR=unix://var/run/consul_grpc.sock
If the agent is configured with TLS certificates, then the gRPC listener will require TLS and present the same certificate as the https listener. As with CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR, if TLS is enabled either the https:// scheme should be used, or CONSUL_HTTP_SSL set.
»CONSUL_NAMESPACE
Enterprise only If you're using Consul Enterprise namespaces you can set this for the CLI to explicitly use a single namespace. This is common across all Hashicorp products that support Enterprise namespaces.
CONSUL_NAMESPACE=default | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Server PowerShell Fail
I’m running a macro through powershell and I get this error when the file is too large. Is there a timeout somewhere I can adjust to have the task complete successfully?
Document not saved.
Here’s the Powershell script:
$excel = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application
$wbMacro = $excel.workbooks.open("{Macro Workbook Work}")
$workbook = $excel.workbooks.open("{Export File Work}")
$excel.ScreenUpdating = $false
$excel.DisplayAlerts = $false
$worksheet = $workbook.worksheets.item(1)
$excel.run(“Macros.xlsm!Run”)
$wbMacro.Close()
$workbook.Save()
$workbook.Close()
$excel.Quit()
Hi Nick,
To run a VBA macro, try using the new “Excel command” action available in version 5.1 or above. If the problem persists, please post a screenshot of the error.
HRESULT: 0x800AC472
It will work if there aren’t that many rows of data, however at some point the file is too large where it hangs and fails.
Does the macro fail if you run it from Excel, not from EasyMorph or PowerShell?
Do you have 32-bit Office or 64-bit Office?
How big is the file (rows, mbytes)?
It will run from Excel without any issue. I have 32-bit Office installed. The file is about 14mb with around 66k rows. If I delete rows and keep around 14k rows it will run successfully.
Hi Nick,
Can you please try to add a delay for 5 seconds before closing workbooks like this:
$excel.run(“Macros.xlsm!Run”)
Start-Sleep -s 5
$wbMacro.Close()
Will it give you that error anyway?
Hi Andrew, I had the same thought and did try this even adding a delay up to 1 minute, however it still failed. I also tried adding a delay in the macro itself with no luck. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Is it possible for you to share one of those big files that gave you that error and the macros file with us? If so, you can send them to our support email.
Also, please:
• Use the “Excel command” action to run the macro and make that the error appear again
• Go to menu “About” and press “Diagnostic information.” It will open a dialog with diagnostic information.
• Copy contents of both tabs in that dialog and send it to our support email.
Furthermore, is it possible for you to test that script or/and the “Excel command” action that runs the macro in question on a computer that has 64-bit Excel installed?
Thanks I’ll send the macro and model to support.
Andrew was able to help me resolve this by changing the Server Log On user.
Thank you!
I’m having the exact same issue, could either of you @nicktagz @andrew.rybka post the solution?

@tweeg On your EM Server. Change the logon user for the easymorph service to an account that has Excel permissions on that machine. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
