MAC Address incomplete?!
OK, this is an odd one. I have a couple of VxWorks device on the same subnet as a windows server 2008 (that they require talking to). When we run an arpShow from any of the VxWorks devices, the server's MAC shows up missing the last digit in the table. Actually i believe it's the second to the last as it shows as xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:9 when it should be xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:09.
Any ideas? I don;'t have anything else on that subnet, and communication began to get iffy between the server and VxWorks devices recently after a subnet change.

I have seen some utilities drop leading zeroes when displaying MAC addresses as well. Makes things very confusing. Can you check the switch's mac table, or the ARP table on a different device, or a packet capture and confirm what MAC is actually being used on the wire?

Reference Help
Abstract
We have characterized the structure, biogenesis, and localization of dipeptidyl aminopeptidase B (DPAP B), a membrane protein of the yeast vacuole. An antibody specific for DPAP B recognizes a 120-kD glycoprotein in yeast that behaves like an integral membrane protein in that it is not removed from membranes by high pH Na2CO3 treatment. Inspection of the deduced amino acid sequence of DPAP B reveals a hydrophobic domain near the NH2 terminus that could potentially span a lipid bilayer. The in vitro enzymatic activity and apparent molecular weight of DPAP B are unaffected by the allelic state of PEP4, a gene essential for the proteolytic activation of a number of soluble vacuolar hydrolases. DPAP B is synthesized as a glycosylated precursor that is converted to the mature 120-kD species by carbohydrate addition. The precursor form of DPAP B accumulates in sec mutants (Novick, P., C. Field, and R. Schekman. 1980. Cell. 21:205-215) that are blocked at the ER (sec18) or Golgi apparatus (sec7), but not at secretory vesicles (sec1). Immunolocalization of DPAP B in wild-type or sec1 mutant cells shows that the protein resides in the vacuolar membrane. However, it is present in non-vacuolar compartments in sec18 and sec7 cells, confirming that the delivery of DPAP B is blocked in these mutants. Interestingly, DPAP B appears to stain the nuclear envelope in a sec18 mutant, which is consistent with the accumulation of DPAP B in the ER membrane at the restrictive temperature. These results suggest that soluble and membrane-bound vacuolar proteins use the same stages of the secretory pathway for their transport.

-- Goldman Says Bernanke Engineers `Substantial Pickup'
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. defended
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke ’s decision to pump
money into the U.S. economy after officials in Germany, China
and Brazil criticized the plan. The move will spur gross domestic product growth and reduce
the risk of deflation, Jan Hatzius , the New York-based chief
U.S. economist at the company, wrote in an e-mail to clients.
Because the Fed’s target for overnight loans between banks is
near zero, the central bank is doing “the next best thing,”
according to Goldman, one of the 18 primary dealers that are
authorized to trade directly with the central bank. “The widespread hostility to the Fed’s actions is
misplaced,” Hatzius wrote. “Downside risks to the economic
outlook have declined significantly. U.S. inflation is unlikely
to become a problem for years.” Bernanke on Nov. 6 defended the central bank’s decision
last week to buy an additional $600 billion of Treasuries and
said he dismissed the idea that it will increase prices to
higher levels than policy makers prefer. German Finance Minister
Wolfgang Schaeuble said Nov. 5 in Berlin that the Fed’s move was
“clueless.” “I have rejected any notion that we are going to raise
inflation to a super-normal level in order to have effects on
the economy,” Bernanke said in a panel discussion at a Fed
conference in Jekyll Island, Georgia. “It’s critical for us to
maintain inflation at an appropriate level.” ‘Risks for Everyone’ Schaeuble said the Fed’s decision won’t revive growth. “It’s our problem as well if the U.S. is no longer certain
that the old recipes don’t work anymore,” he said. “We don’t
have the least reason for schadenfreude. We only have reason to
be worried.” Brazil’s central bank president, Henrique Meirelles , said
“excess liquidity” in the U.S. economy is creating “risks for
everyone.” In China, Vice Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai said
“many countries are worried about the impact of the policy on
their economies.” Fed Board Governor Kevin Warsh today conceded that further
bond purchases risk distorting markets. “The Fed’s increased presence in the market for long-term
Treasury securities poses nontrivial risks that bear watching,”
said Warsh, who voted for more stimulus last week, in an opinion
piece in the Wall Street Journal . “As the Fed’s balance sheet
expands, it becomes more of a price maker than a price taker,”
and if investors doubt the values set for the securities, “risk
premiums across asset classes” could shift unexpectedly around
the world. Inflation Concerns E. Gerald Corrigan , former Fed Bank of New York president,
said at the Georgia conference that he’s concerned the central
bank’s efforts risks causing price increases that are out of the
Fed’s control. “Even in the face of substantial margins of
underutilization of human and capital resources, efforts to
achieve an upward nudge in today’s very low inflation rate make
me somewhat uncomfortable,” Corrigan, chairman of Goldman’s
bank subsidiary, said in prepared remarks. The difference between yields on 10-year notes and Treasury
Inflation Protected Securities, a gauge of trader expectations
for consumer prices over the life of the securities, widened to
2.13 percentage points from this year’s low of 1.47 percentage
points set in August. The five-year average is 2.10 percentage
points. ‘Next Best Thing’ The Fed can’t cut its benchmark interest rate any further
after reducing it to a range of zero to 0.25 percent in December
2008, Hatzius wrote in his e-mail, which he distributed
yesterday in New York. Ten-year yields have declined about 18 basis points since
Sept. 20, the day before the Fed announced it was prepared to
provide additional support to the economy. A basis point is 0.01
percentage point. Two-year yields fell to 0.3118 percent on Nov.
4 and five-year rates declined to 1.0148 percent, both record
lows. “They are doing the next best thing, aiming to lower the
bond term premium via purchases of longer-term securities,”
Hatzius wrote. The strategy is known as quantitative easing
because it targets the quantity of money in the economy. Traders
have dubbed it “QE2” because the Fed also tried it last year. “We also disagree with the criticism that the Fed is
‘flooding the world with money,’” Hatzius wrote. One risk of
the decision is that it will boost currencies outside the U.S.,
he said, which makes the goods of exporting nations more
expensive for their customers. Divergence “But that is always true when regional cycles diverge, and
it has little to do with QE2 per se.” The difference between two- and 10-year yields was 2.16
percentage points, versus the five-year average of 1.28
percentage points. Ten-year yields , a benchmark for consumer and company
borrowing costs, rose one basis point today to 2.538 percent as
of 11:49 a.m. in London, according to data compiled by
Bloomberg. The yield on the two-year Treasury was unchanged at
0.367 percent. Michael Burry , the former hedge-fund manager who predicted
the housing market’s plunge, said Bernanke is trying to use
“poison as the cure” by pumping more cash into the economy. The attempt to bolster growth is reminiscent of Alan Greenspan ’s actions to revive the economy after 2001, Burry said
in comments published last week from a telephone interview. The
former Fed chairman helped create an unsustainable boom in U.S.
property prices with his policies, leading to the worst global
financial crisis since the Great Depression, he said. Hatzius said the outlook has improved from a month ago,
when he said the U.S. economy faced two main scenarios, neither
of them good: “A fairly bad one in which the economy grows at a 1 1/2
percent to 2 percent rate through the middle of next year and
the unemployment rate rises moderately to 10 percent, and a very
bad one in which the economy returns to an outright recession,”
he wrote to clients on Oct 6. To contact the reporter on this story:

House vote proves gun lobby allies playing same old game | TheHill
The latest chapter in the country’s changing gun politics will play out in the House this week. Too bad that the gun proposal up for consideration is yesterday’s news. After the worst mass shooting in our modern history, after an historic filibuster and round of gun safety votes in the Senate, and after an unprecedented sit-in on the House floor, House leaders have readied their response. They’ve put together a package of counter-terrorism measures, including a bogus proposal backed by the National Rifle Association and with which Washington is well familiar by now. The proposal first failed in December, when Sen. John CornynJohn CornynThe Hill's Campaign Report: Battle for Senate begins to take shape The Hill's Morning Report — Trump and the new Israel-'squad' controversy O'Rourke says he will not 'in any scenario' run for Senate MORE (R-TX) introduced it. It failed in the Senate again last month. Now it’s back, this time in the House and with a slight tweak (which only waters it down). And it deserves to fail again. Why try to bring this zombie gun lobby “solution” back to life? It’s an election year. First after the San Bernardino attack and again after Orlando, senators got the chance to go on the record as voting to keep guns out of the hands of suspected terrorists. That’s good politics, of course. Over 80 percent of the public agrees that we should close the so-called “Terror Gap” and not allow terror suspects to buy guns. Not all Terror Gap proposals are created equal, though. Read the letter of the gun lobby’s, and you see it isn’t serious. It’s unworkable. Try to enforce it, and the FBI would find it easier to indict a suspected terrorist than it would be to block a gun purchase. Try to adhere to the legal standard it establishes, and law enforcement would have to show, in court and within 72 hours, that a suspect will actually commit an act of terrorism. That’s a standard so high as to be meaningless. Imagine that the feds can show that someone will commit an act of terrorism. Imagine that person goes to a federally licensed dealer and tries to buy a gun. We’re supposed to go to court and debate allowing the gun sale to proceed? The only debate should be which penitentiary to send that person to. When you can prove someone will commit terrorism, you incapacitate him. Making it more difficult to block a gun sale than it is to indict someone accomplishes exactly nothing. Yet that’s the do-nothing proposition that Congress will vote on for the third time in the past seven months – all so that gun lobby lawmakers can pretend, with a straight face, that they’re listening to their constituents (and to reason) and trying to stop suspected terrorists from arming up. The threat is real. Over the past decade, while we’ve debated the due process and gun rights of suspected terrorists, people on federal terrorist watch lists (including the 2009 Fort Hood shooter) have passed gun-sale background checks more than 2,000 times. Al Qaeda famously instructed its followers in the West to take advantage of America’s porous laws and buy guns. Starting with the George W. Bush Administration, lawmakers have put substantive, bipartisan Terror Gap proposals on the table. Like clockwork, the gun lobby and its allies have banded together to vote them down. And now, perhaps thinking that the third time’s the charm for their red herring of a Terror Gap plan, they’ve brought it forward once again. There are better options here. One Senate proposal, in contrast with the Cornyn bill, would give the Department of Justice the authority to deny a gun sale to a potential buyer who poses a threat to public safety, if DOJ reasonably suspects that the buyer is involved in terrorism. It respects the buyer’s due process rights and allows, but does not require, DOJ to block a sale. Such a proposal is sensible and practicable – exactly what the Cornyn bill and now the House proposal is not. If House leaders actually wanted to keep guns out of the wrong hands, they would buck the NRA and pair a vote on Terror Gap with a vote to require background checks on all gun sales – a policy fix that 90 percent of Americans support. If Congress wanted to reduce gun deaths, it could start by closing all the legal loopholes and make it that much harder for felons, domestic abusers, and suspected terrorists to get guns and destroy lives. Instead, we get the same old political games, plus a summer rerun. We get a weak, retread Terror Gap proposal. And we get the gun lobby’s allies showing, once again, that they’re not up to the task of protecting public safety and national security. John Feinblatt is the president of Everytown for Gun Safety.

. Instead of being a radical abrupt change, the American Revolution was a culmination of evolutionary changes that resulted in an evolved way of life. With the social, political and economic spheres, the change occurred gradually and remained largely unnoticed.
For example, in Political sphere, the 13 colonies already had a certain degree of independence, but they yearned to be completely free from the tyranny of the British overlords. Each colony had its own local assembly which enacted laws on local matters.
Economically, also situation of America was better. In war, there was no class confrontation as it happens in a revolution. There was no mass poverty. There was no seething social discontent and there was no grinding oppression. In fact America was more prosperous than many other colonies. They had also developed a small amount of self-sufficiency to some extent and wanted to interact with the rest of the world. America was developing strategies for trading with other countries, which was forbidden. The economic policy of mercantilism by the Home Government was what kept them aloof of having economic interaction with the rest of the world.
There was a gradual evolution in political philosophy and organization too, which started with the First Continental Congress, progressing to the Second Continental Congress, and finally leading to the Articles of the Confederation, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution. | FINEWEB-EDU |
John Lutey
John Thomas Lutey (18 December 1876 – 22 June 1932) was the Labor Party member for the Western Australian Legislative Assembly seat of Brownhill-Ivanhoe from 1917 to 1932.
John Lutey was born on 18 December 1876 at Eaglehawk near Bendigo in Victoria. In 1895 he migrated to Western Australia with his brother and sister, working as a gold miner at Kalgoorlie until at least 1904. In 1899, he returned to Victoria for a time, and while there he married Millie Hebbard. In 1907 Lutey was working as a filter pressman, and in 1915 he was a mill hand.
Lutey became active in the trade union movement, and joined the Australian Labour Party. On 19 August 1916, he contested the Legislative Assembly seat of Brownhill-Ivanhoe in a by-election, after the incumbent John Scaddan resigned the seat to contest the seat of Canning in a ministerial by-election. Lutey won Brownhill-Ivanhoe, but Scaddan did not win Canning. Lutey subsequently resigned Brownhill-Ivanhoe on 15 September, not having been sworn in, to allow Scaddan to reclaim the seat.
In May 1917, Lutey unsuccessfully contested for a Western Australian seat in the Australian Senate. Two months later he contested Brownhill-Ivanhoe in a ministerial by-election, this time in opposition to Scaddan, who had joined the National Labor Party. Lutey won the seat, and would hold it until his death on 22 June 1932. From July 1924 until January 1930, he was Chairman of Committees in Philip Collier's government. He's buried in Fremantle Cemetery, WA, Australia. | WIKI |

Gururajulu Naidu
Gururajulu Naidu (1931 –1985) was a Harikathe storyteller. He was known as Harikathe pitamaha of Karnataka, and along with Achyuta Dasa and Keshava Dasa, he formed the trinity of Harikatha Vidwans. Gururajulu Naidu's Harikathe stories include Renukadevi Mahatme, Bhookailasa, Bheema Jarasandha and Bhakta Sudama. He helped to popularise Harikathe in Karnataka by recording albums of the stories.
Gururajulu Naidu trained Harikatha to several disciples, including Shri N. Suryanarayanadas, Smt. Kumari Malini and LakshmanaDas. His harmonist was Vidwan Shivaramu.
Gururajulu Naidu was also known by the name Arun Kumar in the Kannada film industry. He acted in movies including Madhu Malathi, Hannele Chiguridaga and Mooroovare Vajragalu which co-starred Rajkumar. He also acted with Madhavi in Shivakanye. In Bangalore, in his honor, a roundabout is named by the municipality as "Gururajulu Naidu Vruttha".
His daughters also are Harikatha vidwans.
Style
Gururajulu Naidu's style of Harikathe was far removed from the slow and traditional style. It was fast-paced, interspersed with many humorous stories. Each Harikathe is about 90 minutes long. Though he has been criticised for this by the purists, Gururajulu Naidu's work was immensely popular. The content here is very less compared to the mahatma's true abilities.
Some of his popular performances are:
* 1) Bhaktha Markendeya
* 2) Bhaktha Siriyala
* 3) MahiRavana
* 4) Maya Bazaar
* 5) Nallathanga Devi
* 6) Gaja Gowri Vratha

Evidently these perforations were made by the hand of man, and with some design; or, to speak more plainly, these people trepanned one another. For what motive did they practise this painful and often fatal operation? Numerous hypotheses have been put forward. Some suppose, with a fair degree of probability, that it had a therapeutic object. The trepan, indeed, has been practised from the most remote antiquity. Hippocrates speaks of it as an operation widely diffused; and, although the father of medicine is in the habit of citing authorities, and of naming the inventors of operations, he does not tell us the name of the originator of trepanning, which leads lis to think that his name was not known, because it was lost in the night of time. It is true that the name, from τρεπω, I turn, indicates that, when it was admitted into Greek surgery, it was performed, as it is now, by the aid of a centre-bit; still, in primitive times ruder methods were no doubt employed. The trepan was in great repute among the Greeks, and during the middle ages was resorted to for the cure of a number of maladies. The same practice widely prevails at the present time among uncivilized races.
M. le Baron de Larrey, in a note communicated to the Paris Academy of Medicine, relates that the Kabyles still frequently practise the operation, making with a saw four cuts in the shape of a parallelogram. General Faidherbe has sent to the Laboratoire des hautes | WIKI |

Abstract: Neonatal diet impacts many physiological systems and can modify risk for developing metabolic disease and obesity later in life. Less well studied is the effect of postnatal diet (e.g., comparing human milk (HM) or milk formula (MF) feeding) on mitochondrial bioenergetics. Such effects may be most profound in splanchnic tissues that would have early exposure to diet-associated or gut microbe-derived factors.
To address this question, we measured ileal and liver mitochondrial bioenergetics phenotypes in male piglets fed with HM or MF from day 2 to day 21 age. Ileal and liver tissue were processed for mitochondrial respiration (substrate only [pyruvate, malate, glutamate], substrate + ADP, and proton “leak” post-oligomycin; measured by Oroboros methods), mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and metabolically-relevant gene expression analyses.
No differences between the diet groups were observed in mitochondrial bioenergetics indices in ileal tissue. In contrast, ADP-dependent liver Complex I-linked OXPHOS capacity and Complex I + II-linked OXPHOS capacity were significantly higher in MF animals relative to HM fed piglets. Interestingly, p53, Trap1, and Pparβ transcript abundances were higher in MF-fed relative to HM-fed piglets in the liver. Mitochondrial DNA copy numbers (normalized to nuclear DNA) were similar within-tissue regardless of postnatal diet, and were ~ 2–3 times higher in liver vs. ileal tissue.
While mechanisms remain to be identified, the data indicate that neonatal diet can significantly impact liver mitochondrial bioenergetics phenotypes, even in the absence of a change in mtDNA abundance. Since permeabilized liver mitochondrial respiration was increased in MF piglets only in the presence of ADP, it suggests that formula feeding led to a higher ATP turnover. Specific mechanisms and signals involved with neonatal diet-associated differences in liver bioenergetics remain to be elucidated.

I installed the latest Sakura and notice that the back light is really dim compared to before.
So I booted into Touchpad and it automatically set it to the highest setting.
So how do I set the backlight settings on M3 Sakura?

Philotheus I of Constantinople
Philotheos Kokkinos (Greek: Φιλόθεος Κόκκινος; c. 1300 – 1379) was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople for two periods from November 1353 to 1354 and 1364 to 1376, and a leader of the Byzantine monastic and religious revival in the 14th century. His numerous theological, liturgical, and canonical works received wide circulation not only in Byzantium but throughout the Slavic Orthodox world.
He was appointed patriarch in 1353 by the emperor John VI Kantakouzenos, deposed by John V Palaiologos in 1354, then restored to the patriarchal throne in 1364. He opposed Emperor John V in his intent to negotiate the political re-union of the churches with Popes Urban V and Gregory XI. Instead, in 1367 he supported the proposed assembly of an authentic, ecumenical union-council, in order to properly resolve the differences with the Western Church.
He is commemorated on October 11, and is regarded as a "Protector of Orthodoxy", alongside Saints Photios the Great, Mark Evgenikos, and Gregory Palamas.
Early life
Philotheus' early life is not known. He was a native of Thessalonika and is believed to have been born about the year 1300. His mother was a Jewish convert to Orthodox Christianity.
He was taught by the magistros Thomas (d. 1347), one of the most learned men of the time, and showed great talent for theological as well as secular studies.
Early career
Philotheus entered the monastic life early, first becoming a monk at Mount Sinai, then later at Mount Athos.
At Mount Athos, he lived his monastic life first at Vatopaidi Monastery, where he formed a relationship with St. Savvas the Fool-For-Christ (d. 1350), for whom he became a biographer. Later he went on to the Great Lavra Monastery, where he formed a relationship with St. Gregory Palamas, for whom he became a biographer as well.
He was a supporter of St. Gregory Palamas and became a follower and advocate of the form of contemplative prayer called Hesychasm, and the Orthodox theology of uncreated Grace. As a writer of note, Philotheus wrote works on the theology of the Uncreated Energies of God and refuted the scholastic philosophy that was then current in the Western church. His most famous work, written in 1339, was the Hagiorite Tome, the manifesto of the Athonite monks on how the saints partake of the Divine and uncreated Light that the Apostles beheld at the Transfiguration of Jesus.
In 1340 he was appointed abbot of the Monastery of Philokalou in Thessalonica, but was soon recalled to Mount Athos in 1344 to direct the Great Lavra as the Hegumen.
In recognition of his contribution in the Hesychast controversy, Patriarch Isidore appointed him Metropolitan of Heraclea in Thrace in 1347. However becoming a protégé of co-Emperor John VI Kantakouzenos, Bishop Philotheus spent most of his time in Constantinople. During his absence, the city of Heraclea fell prey to the rivalry of the Genoese and the Venetians. In 1351 the Genoese led by Paganino Doria sacked his episcopal see of Heraclea. It was only due to the intervention of Bishop Philotheus that a large number of the inhabitants which were imprisoned by the Genoese, were set free. Thereafter he preserved a firm personal antagonism against the Genoese for the rest of his life.
In 1351, he took part in the "Hesychast Council" in Constantinople, and wrote its Acts.
First patriarchate
In 1353, Philotheus, renowned for his learning and his Orthodoxy, was appointed Patriarch of Constantinople by John VI Kantakouzenos.
In 1354, after John V Palaiologos obtained the abdication of John VI Kantakouzenos and forced him into a monastery under the name Joseph Christodoulus, he forced also the deposition of Patriarch Philotheus, who resumed the see of Heraclea.
Second patriarchate
In 1364 Philotheus was recalled to the patriarchal throne in Constantinople on the death of Callistus I.
Relations with Rome
Since 1354 the Ottoman Empire had gained a foothold in Europe at Gallipoli, threatening Constantinople from a new side. By 1362 Adrianople fell to the Ottomans and served as the forward base for Ottoman expansion into Europe. Threatened anew, John V Palaiologos appealed to the West for help in defending Constantinople against the Turks, proposing, in return, to end the East–West Schism between Constantinople and Rome. In October 1369 John, having travelled through Naples to Rome, formally converted to Catholicism in St Peter's Basilica and recognized the pope as supreme head of the Church. Opposed to re-union on political terms, Philotheus opposed these efforts by John V to negotiate with Popes Urban V (1362–70) and Gregory XI (1370–78).
On the other hand, Philotheus' second period as Patriarch was notable for his efforts to open sincere discussions with the Roman Church to end the Schism — not by diplomatic efforts like those of Emperor John V, who had just abjured Orthodoxy for the Latin faith — but out of a real desire for a true and authentic union. To this end, in 1367 he was in favour of holding an ecumenical union-council to resolve the differences with the Western Church, however the discussions came to nothing as the idea was rejected by Pope Urban VI in 1369. This unfortunate end signalled to Philotheos the suspension of any further efforts to approach the West.
Synod in 1368
The authority of the Acts of the "Hesychast Council" of 1351 were confirmed in the synod of 1368. In addition, Philotheus led the synodal decision to proclaim Gregory Palamas a Saint, ordaining the Second Sunday of Great Lent to be his feast and composing the Church's services to St Gregory Palamas.
A notable example of the campaign to enforce the Orthodoxy of the Palamite doctrine was the condemnation of Prochorus Cydones at this synod. Applying Aristotelian logic to the Neoplatonic character of Hesychasm, Prochorus had accused Palamas of Pantheism or Polytheism. In the end, Prochorus was excommunicated and deposed from the clergy in perpetuity.
Relations with the Slavic Orthodox world
Philotheus also nourished a strong commitment to the unity of the Orthodox world in his second tenure, pursuing an ecclesiastical policy to organize the Orthodox churches of the Serbians, Russians, and Bulgarians, unto which hesychastic theology and spirituality spread.
About 1354 Saint Sergius of Radonezh, the founder of the Trinity monastery, was visited by envoys from Patriarch Philotheus, urging him to introduce a community rule into his monastery, as the Byzantines placed increased value on Cenobitic monasticism in this period. After some hesitation, Saint Sergius complied with this request, and the Trinity monastery, by adopting the Studite Constitution, became the model for all other late medieval Russian koinobia. Secondly, the monastery's close links with Constantinople facilitated the spread of Hesychasm to Central and Northern Russia.
Since one of the obstacles to a united Orthodox front was the schism — since 1350 — which separated the Patriarchate of Constantinople and the Serbian Patriarchate of Peć, Philotheos recognized the latter in 1375 and restored unity. The act of excommunication of was revoked and the Serbian Church was recognized as a Patriarchate, under the condition of returning all eparchies in contested southern regions to the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
In 1375 Patriarch Philotheus consecrated Cyprian as 'Metropolitan of Kiev, Lithuania, and Russia' in the lifetime of Alexius, the lawful incumbent of two of these three sees. The Russians felt deeply humiliated by this affront to their popular metropolitan, and the confusion ended only in 1390, when the Muscovites accepted Cyprian as Metropolitan of Russia.
Writer and hymnographer
Philotheus was also engaged in writing a number of works setting forth the theology of the uncreated Energies and successfully taking issue with the humanist theologians who, in the works of Western scholastics, especially Thomas Aquinas, found a naturalistic philosophy that enabled them to express their love of classical Antiquity to the full. In addition, he also composed admirable lives of Saints. As a hymn writer, Philotheus is known for composing a service in commemoration of the Fathers of the Fourth Ecumenical Council in Chalcedon, as well composing the services to Saint Gregory Palamas.
Along with Callistus I, Philotheus was a Hesychast Patriarch of Constantinople, who used the lives of saints to extol the ideal of hesychia.
Exile and death
In 1376, Patriarch Philotheus was deposed by Emperor Andronikos IV Palaiologos, when the latter ascended to the imperial throne.
Philotheus reposed in exile in 1379. His tomb at the Monastery of Akatalyptos Maria Diakonissa (Theotokos Kyriotissa) became a place of many miracles.
Legacy
Robert F. Taft affirms that the liturgical codification of the Eucharistic service of the Great Church reached its full form in the diataxis of Philotheus I of Constantinople. | WIKI |
Raphael Sanzio was born in 1483 on either March 28 or April 6. Frequently in his life, he showed a capacity to quickly pick up the styles of those around him and use them in his own way. His career is most often viewed by academics as existing in three phases and styles—early years in Urbino, around four years of avid learning in Florence, and a decade-plus of mastery in Rome working for the Vatican. Though he died at just thirty-seven years old, his career included a rivalry with Michelangelo, educational encounters with Leonardo da Vinci, and a lengthy stint at the Vatican.
Raphael, Self-portrait, 1499.
Though Raphael led a relatively short life, he was still incredibly prolific. Some accounts, including those of Giorgio Vasari, claim the artist began an apprenticeship at the age of eight in the workshop of Umbrian Master Pietro Perugino but others dispute this. Regardless, it is certain that Raphael worked as an assistant to Perugino beginning around 1500, when he would have been seventeen years old, and learned a great deal from the master.
Raphael, Mond Crucifixion, 1502 - 3.
Raphael’s first documented commission was made in 1500—the Baronci Altarpiece. He seems to have been in demand from the beginning. His work was still very stylistically similar to that of Perugino at this point. In addition to altarpieces and draughts work for frescos, Raphael executed many cabinet paintings, likely for members of the Urbino court, during this time.
Raphael, Madonna and Child, 1505-6.
Though 1504-8 is often referred to as the artist’s “Florentine period,” he never lived there for an extended period, he was prone to travel. During this period his work became more monumental—perhaps an influence of Fra Bartolomeo. Leonardo da Vinci, who did reside in Florence from 1500 to 1506, was also a big inspiration for Raphael. His figures took on more dynamic poses and he created several works with da Vinci’s trademark compositional strategies such as the pyramidal Holy Family.
Raphael, The School of Athens, 1509 - 11.
In 1508, Raphael was invited to Rome by Pope Julius II. Here he was commissioned to create a series of frescoes and his work had an enormous impact on Roman art. He painted a series of frescos to decorate several rooms in the Apostolic Palace of the Vatican City. His third painting in the Stanza della Segnatura (The Room of the Signature) was The School of Athens. It is probably the most famous of his frescos.
Raphael, Portrait of Pope Julius II, 1511.
While in Rome, Raphael also created portraits. This portrait of Pope Julius II was exceedingly unusual for the time and the beginning of a new tradition for papal portraiture. The clear mood of Pope Julius II—a deep thoughtfulness—would have been striking to contemporary viewers. The format was taken up by most future portraits including Diego Velázquez.
Raphael, Chigi Chapel. Santa Maria del Popolo, Rome.
Though much of his architectural work was demolished after his death and replaced with designs by Michelangelo, many hand-drawn plans have survived and so have some smaller schemes. The Chigi Chapel was designed and decorated with mosaics by Raphael.
Raphael, The Transfiguration, 1518-20.
This was Raphael’s last work of art. Still living in Rome, this piece was commissioned by Cardinal Giulio de Medici, who later became Pope Clement VII. In the 1970s, cleaning confirmed that the vast majority of the painting was finished by Raphael. Assistants just completed some of the lower-left figures after the artist’s death. He is buried in the Pantheon. | FINEWEB-EDU |
Motor racing: New F1 boss touts aggressive growth strategy
BARCELONA (Reuters) - More teams, more sponsors and more circuits are all on the long-term wish-list for Formula One’s new owners, who say fans will see changes already this season as part of an aggressive strategy for growth. Commercial managing director Sean Bratches says every area of the business is being looked at. “There will be a point in the season ... where we start to effectuate change,” he told Reuters during the first pre-season test in Barcelona. “It’s not going to be ... where we just drop our vision one day and that’s the vision. It’s going to be a build and we are going to be very aggressive. We are going to try new things, all in the spirit of better serving Formula One fans.” The first small sign of change came on Monday when teams were told they and their drivers could post snippets of video on social media channels from inside the paddock confines. Bratches, a former ESPN executive who reports to Formula One chairman Chase Carey, said the sport was “replete with opportunities to improve at almost every turn. “I have been in the office every Saturday and Sunday for the last month since I got here and I don’t see it ending. There’s a lot to do.” The sport changed hands in January, when Liberty Media replaced 86-year-old former commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone with Carey. Ecclestone, a lifelong deal-maker, was unconvinced by social media after growing the sport into a billion dollar business through television deals and hosting fees from countries in increasingly exotic locations. The Briton also saw no need for a spokesman or media department, something the new owners are putting in place along with a well-staffed marketing operation. “We are going to pivot from what has been a very deal- oriented structure to one where we are formulating a strategic plan that we are going to execute on relentlessly over the mid to long-term,” said Bratches. “We’d love to see more teams, we’d love to see more sponsors and we’d love to see more circuits in the right places. “Places that we believe are growth-oriented and can improve not only from a fan standpoint but improve the overall economics, drive television revenues, drive sponsor engagement and interest, create opportunities for teams and drivers.” Struggling Manor folded in January, leaving just 10 teams. Bratches said the aim was to put all on a more secure footing. “In the Premier League or National Football League or Bundesliga, if a team goes up for sale there’s 30 individuals or entities that want to buy it. When Manor goes out, that’s not the case today,” he said. “So we have to make this a better business on the promoter side, on the team side. The rising tide will float all boats.” Bratches said he had been “pleasantly surprised” by strong interest in hosting races from cities, states and countries who currently do not have one and there would “unequivocally” be new races in the United States and elsewhere. “There’s a huge opportunity out there to reset the promoter base,” he added. Carey has talked about treating each race like a SuperBowl weekend, with events building to the main event, and Bratches concurred. “We have 20 extraordinary events every single year that happen in 20 different countries. There’s a huge opportunity to amplify the event and really detonate the possibilities,” he said. Liberty have talked about adding more races in North America, where the Texan capital Austin currently hosts the only U.S. round of the championship. Bratches did not give details but Las Vegas is a clear target. “We have an extraordinary iconic circuit in Austin and I think that race is poised to grow and continue its position as one of our kind of hub races,” he said. “At the same time ... I actually think driving interest in the United States through other circuits will actually amplify the value of the circuit in Austin.” Reporting by Alan Baldwin; Editing by Alison Williams | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Autopatrolled
Not wishing to detract from the discussion about redirects, but a curious concourse of circumstances led me to discover again an autopatrolled editor creating dozens of short articles that are barely notable or not even notable at all. Normally I would simply remove the autopatrolled flag, but in this instance, the user is an admin. Autopatrolled comes bundled with adminship. What should we be doing in cases like these? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:37, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
* My initial thought was to propose removing autopatrol from the sysop package of rights as it isn't in anyway linked to a sysop's work. However, given the focus at RFA on content creation by candidates for admin, it'd be surprising if any new admins were appointed who didn't have sufficient knowledge of article creation best practice. You don't name the "offender" but I am guessing it's a long-standing admin (from when less questions were asked)? If so, maybe just a friendly pointing out of what they are doing wrong is sufficient? QuiteUnusual (talk) 15:49, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
* I don't disagree with QuiteUnusual, as addressing it directly would be best. However, I think a situation like that calls for a de-sysop for cause per WP:CIR and it's at least an argument for a compromised account. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 15:56, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
* I would support the removal of autopatrol from the bundle. While I'm all for content creation, 25 articles is way higher than practically all RfA voters will ask, and one can demonstrate knowledge of content creation (e.g. for RfA) without necessarily creating 25 articles from scratch. Being a prolific content creator is separate – and should thus be treated separately from the toolset. ComplexRational (talk) 16:02, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
* I would also support the removal of autopatrol from the admin bundle. In addition to addressing the issue raised here, it could make RfA a bit less of a gauntlet for new candiates. Off the top of my head I can think of at least one RfA that I opposed that I would have supported had autopatrol not been included with the sysop toolset. That having been said, I agree with others that talking to the editor in question here is probably the best step one, maybe taking this issue to WP:Administrators noticeboard is step two. signed,Rosguill talk 18:38, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
* As someone who has been creating dozens of short articles (but which are definitely notable under a SNG as I attempt to create articles for all Caldecott Medal winners) I'm not going to be critical of someone creating short articles. Stubs are not, according to our guideline, inherently troubling. It is only when they are lacking in notability and/or verification that they are against guidelines. It sounds like this latter bit (lack of notability) is the issue here. As such I would talk to the editor in question. I would probably do that before pulling the autopatrol permission in any regard - getting it is not a reward but Loss aversion tells us that taking it away does have a negative effect - and in this case that must be the first step. Beyond that I think we'd have to look at some sort of community imposed solution - such as requiring the sysop to go through AfC. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:14, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
* If the editor was not an admin I would have pulled the autpat. flag already. Unfortunately I have a feeling that there is more to this than meets the eye. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 16:44, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
* A quiet discussion is more likely to be productive than tag bombing the articles or a notice on a project talk page. Also, "pas devant les enfants", it's not good for the grown ups to bicker in front of the kids. Cabayi (talk) 17:30, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
* Where do you suggest holding that quiet discussion? And with whom? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:57, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
* Judging from your contributions just before you started this thread, 's talk page. Cabayi (talk) 12:16, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
* ...though, if Sarah had email enabled, that would be my first choice. Cabayi (talk) 12:43, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
* AfC is backlogged and hard enough to navigate for reviewers as is, so I don't believe that's really a great solution. I'm open to other suggestions, though, and I also think a reasonable first step would be to consult the user on this matter (e.g. invite them here, or start a new thread on their talk page) – but it may not be quiet. ComplexRational (talk) 01:21, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
* If your looking for a quiet word, why not Discord or on an IRC channel. I think it is a case of the bite the bullet. scope_creep Talk 01:54, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
* I accidently found somebody this morning who is autopatrolled, not an admin but certainly creating many hundreds of tiny articles, barely referenced, and many that look non-notable. I added the top 100 odd to the NPP queue. scope_creep Talk 11:26, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
* I can't believe I'm being singled out for creating stubs that some people think aren't notable. LOL. Let alone in after thirteen plus years of editing Wikipedia (and one of the few highly productive women, yay!). I suggest improving before tagging and simply getting more familiar with sources outside of your normal lense. For example, I do not expect a man who works in technology who lives in Germany (just making this up) to know about women's fashion magazines based in the United States. Before you just start tagging things left and right, consider the subject and perhaps be friendly about reaching out regarding notability rather than using robotic, unfriendly patrolling tools. All of the articles - except maybe one which now I'm questioning even myself about making (Hans Nichols) that have been "questioned" recently have passed GNG. I don't expect every Wikipedian to understand the subjects or sources that I write about or use. I don't care if you remove autopatrol from packages, blahblah, but singling me out for creating stubs that can be improved is bizarre and has brought up a lot of uncomfortable feelings I haven't had in a few years here on Wikipedia (that singled out thing is extremely uncomfortable). There are surely other users who could possibly be doing worse work - creating tiny stubs left and right. Also, I don't let users email me because I have been dealing with years of harassment by users and non-users on Wikipedia. Kudpung has already brought this matter (the notability and sources) up with me after I questioned his work on his talk page of tagging away with that page patrol tool. Then he questioned why I make such short articles on one of the talk pages of my articles, which is a notable subject (Atomic Liquors). I should not have to defend creating stubs, let alone lose autopatrol for doing just that. I have three jobs and make time to edit Wikipedia. It's moments like this when I just feel like giving up. Missvain (talk) 18:29, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
* And of course, it doesn't matter that the majority of the articles I write are starts and I have multiple Good Articles under my belt and extensive lists I've written over the years. But hey, write a few articles about bartenders, journalists and bars that are notable for stubs and all hell breaks lose...! Very demoralizing. Missvain (talk) 18:30, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
* I think you should leave the editor alone. They have been creating stubs, with secondary sources, of notable articles. I don’t think wikistalking them is helpful and you are discouraging a good participant on Wikipedia.
* In fact, if we look at an example of an article you tagged - Evel Pie - I can see that it has more than a few things that could make it notable. It had decent secondary sources and seems to be a local eatery of some notability. It is fine if you disagree, but it wasn’t something you should have prodded. It should have gone to AFD. I question your judgement. Perhaps you should be more careful in using PROD?
* Also, I don’t see you bringing this up with the admin. You most certainly didn’t tell them about this discussion.
* Even more concerning is that you said it “wasn’t you job” to even do a cursory Google search to determine notability.
* Then I noticed you tagged a journalist, Hans Nichols. You clearly are misusing the tagging facility. Stand down, please! - Chris.sherlock (talk) 19:59, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
, . My take on this whole thing is that Kudpung saw some early stub work from an admin that was somewhat dubiously sourced. Having had a look at a bunch of them, I think there is a bit of a specialty source knowledge gap here (as Missvain suggested), and also a bit of Kudpung expecting a high standard from autopatrolled users and admins. Overall my take on the articles is that a few of them were borderline as presented (when Kudpug first came across them), but that notability can be established, depending on how you weight various sources which aren't obviously high quality but probably are. In any case I don't see serious issues here from Missvain, nor do I think that Kudpung's actions and coming here and asking for advice were unwarranted. I think everyone could do with calming the farm and stepping away from the situation. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 20:12, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
* Actually, I am concerned that Kudpung believes he shouldn’t first do a cursory check to see if something is notable or not. On Talk:Evel Pie he stated that he later checked and found a bunch of sources. Then on Talk:Atomic Liquors he seems to have found a source showing the articles notability. He should be doing this before tagging the article! I’m also concerned by the fact that he stated that he felt that Missvain’s work needs to be “controlled”. I can’t say I’m at all impressed by an experienced and good faith editor being lectured in the tone he used either. Very disappointing. I’m sorry Missvain had to put up with it, frankly. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 20:24, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
* Maybe Kudpung needs the New Page Reviewer role removing if this is how he treats editors who create stubs: failing to follow WP:BEFORE and wanting to strip rights from an admin - even proposing changing the rules to enable this! What's wrong with a topic being "barely notable"? Remember you're not Judge Dredd. Fences & Windows 20:35, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
* You may wish to read my post again, and point out where I am wanting to strip rights from an admin and where I am proposing any changes in the rules. I am not, and it was not and is not my intention. I came here asking for feedback. Let's be quite clear about this, shall we? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:31, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* Not that needs any support from the likes of me, as her work is exemplary, but I am in her corner. I have worked with her for more than a decade so I use the lens of time to make this statement: let's move on. Thanks. --Rosiestep (talk) 00:31, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* Nor that she needs reminding of the minimum criteria of quality for creating new articles? Being a prolific content creator and admin is not a passport to lower our standards. Missvain has built a reputation on giving advice to other users. One could expect an experienced editor to at least properly complete one article before creating the next. The problem here is that the articles I tagged - and I did not single 'Missvain' out - were out of character for someone of her experience and so much so that it even crossed my mind that her account may have been compromised and being used by an UPE. Note that many comments here are from users who have not read the thread from the beginning. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:21, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* I am of the opinion expressed by that this looks like yet another moment where Kudpung repeats the long pattern of behavior and opinions where the Article review process should be a space for applying a strenuous and over-zealous standard for the community that is neither productive nor welcoming to experienced contributors (including community trusted users like admins) or newcomers. Patrolling (or any other quality control process on the wiki) is not meant to capture the marginal, but only the most egregiously bad -- the marginal ought to be given space to breath, improve, and grow especially when its topics we aren't use to covering, topics with limited or specialist visibility, otherwise we are failing miserably at creating an inclusive encyclopedia that "anyone can edit". Sadads (talk) 14:13, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* The whole "anyone can edit" idea is a foolish platitude and not something that's actually real. We are already overwhelmed with "marginal" entries and don't need more. We stop editors all the time and ought to do more to be exclusive. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 14:26, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* Well tough. That’s been our core tenet since we started. If you don’t like it, get it changed. Best of luck with that. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 20:41, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* I don't agreed with you . I'm surprised at you of all people resorting to such conjecture - but that seems to be developing into the general line here. At least (with whom I don't always see eye to eye) seems to be one of the few who is absolutely in touch with reality here (either that, or like me he has a long, latent memory that can sometimes be jogged by certain stimuli) - perhaps now that some people can't avoid drama, we should be inviting, , and to add their opinions on NPP. There is no conjecture surrounding Missvain's edits, however, Alex. Facts are facts, and I think I'm being rather generous and Assuming a lot of Good Faith under the circumstances - please have the courtesy to read the thread from the beginning before jumping to conclusions. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:04, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* what is completely concerning is that you did not follow the spirit of WP:PROD. Firstly, PROD is for uncontroversial deletions. You need to, IMO, stop referring to WP:GNG when it is clear you did not follow WP:BEFORE. rather than use a shortcut, which is often frustrating, let me explain. Before you propose an article be deleted, you (not anyone else) should be checking whether the article is actually problematic in terms of notability.
* It is absolutely clear that you did not do this basic check before tagging Atomic Liquors because after you tagged it, you got upset on the talk page and showed that you actually quite easily found a source that established notability. In fact, the guidelines are quite clear that before you nominate a page for deletion (speedy or otherwise) you should be checking if it is in fact something that should be deleted. IMHO, doing otherwise is an editor imposing their own personal opinion whether something is worthwhile or not. In fact, in numerous guidelines and policies we state that we should try to see if an article can be improved. You obviously have the ability to do so, because you were able to find the source that literally contradicted your own assertion that the article was notable or not. In fact, you then harangued the editor by telling them that checking notability was not your job, and furthermore on a number of talk pages you rather defensively tried to accuse the editor of not doing a good enough job. You did not, in any of these actions, show you assumed good faith. In fact, you told them you believed they were taking advantage of the tools, and that “ One of the reasons your other articles probably get through NPP without being tagged or slated for deletion is that they look perfect and are not more closely examined examined by less experienced patrollers”. That is completely out of line.
* You then tried to change the policy for granting tool privileges on this page, stating somewhat vaguely that you had found malfeasance by an admin - a very serious charge and one quite easily chased back to Missvain. Instead, what we actually see is that you haven’t been following the principles of our deletion policy, you have not shown good faith, and you haven’t even followed basic guidelines before tagging articles. Of anything, I feel that your actions probably need to be reviewed because you genuinely discouraged a great editor of good standing who does quality work on articles to the point where they felt like they might quit the project. What really gets up my nose is that you use shortcuts in an attempt to lecture them about what is and isn’t acceptable on Wikipedia, but you show you don’t fully grasp our guidelines yourself. This pisses me off personally because it has happened to me in the past and it actually stopped me from editing for years. More ironically, you sent me a message implying understanding guidelines and policies is “wikilawyering”. I can assure you that this is not the case. Please take the time to reread the relevant policies and guidelines before continuing to tag articles for speedy deletion. Certainly it would be best for you to refrain from accusing editors in good standing of deliberately disrupting Wikipedia and deliberately violating policies and guidelines, at least until you can show you understand them yourself! - Chris.sherlock (talk) 19:36, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* , It is possible that he did do a WP:BEFORE search, but only found the other source in a second subsequent round of searching. I honestly think this is a case of Kudpung seeing some marginal articles from an autopatrolled user and expecting a higher standard from them. This is not necessarily unwarranted, we DO want our autopatrolled users to only be creating polished articles with bombproof sourcing. After all, we are trusting them to create new articles with ZERO oversight whatsoever. But I tend to agree that Kudpung was overreacting with his actions with regards to these articles. I personally don't really use PROD at all (except BLPPROD), because you can always argue that it will be controversial to someone (at the very least, the author). But you can use this rationale the opposite way as well, that the 'controversy' only enters into it when the PROD is declined by somebody. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 19:54, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* on Kudpung’s talk page, when asked to first check for notability he responded: “no, that's not my job and please don't tell me what to do”. That is a very worrying response. Even more concerning is that he wrote “One of the reasons your other articles probably get through NPP without being tagged or slated for deletion is that they look perfect and are not more closely examined examined by less experienced patrollers.” That is clearly implying Missvain is takimg advantage of the system deliberately.
* I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “zero oversight”. That has never been the role of any editor, new patrol or otherwise. Page patrollers should be checking the content, verifying if a page is notable or not and applying CSD criteria if applying the PROD template. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 20:05, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* Wrong again. One does not have to make a BEFORE search ahead of tagging, only ahead of xfD. Please read BEFORE ahead of telling other editors what to do. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 20:19, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* If an article has no hope of being deleted via AFD, it should not be speedily deleted. I am curious, if you haven’t actually done any checks that something is notable, how are you determing if it is or isn’t notable? Gut feel? Just don’t like it? - Chris.sherlock (talk) 20:34, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* , Autopatrolled articles are not added to the queue, meaning that unless someone searches though new articles that are already marked as reviewed, something that is only uncommonly done, then there is zero oversight on autopatrolled articles. This is by design, so as not to waste reviewer effort on the articles of highly competent editors. I'm not defending Kudpung's actions with regards to PROD; I think it was a poor option. BUT, he is right that we should expect the articles of autopatrolled editors/admins to be of a higher standard. Articles by these users should not be 'barely above borderline', their articles should be obviously and clearly notable as demonstrated by sources in the article, and also free of needing significant cleanup. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 20:29, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* Ah, I see the issue. It’s the term “oversight”, which I took you to mean over the editor, but you are referring to articles. Yeah, that’s fair. I don’t think anyone is disputing this. Given there were relevant secondary sources, I don’t think there was a major issue. We can all improve articles, I think saying or implyimg that Missvain’s work is of low quality is a real problem though. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 20:39, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* , Fair enough. can be a bit curmudgeonly, and perhaps needs reminding of this from time to time. In any case I don't think that this needs any further action on either editor. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 20:47, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* As a sometime curmudgeon myself, that’s not really the issue. We really need to know that understands our project policies and guidelines before tagging articles. His responses on his talk page show quite clearly he does not, and doesn’t feel he needs to. If he is willing to show that he first needs to check for notability, then I think we would all be reassured. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 20:53, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* , I can't fault that rationale. Each of the articles I checked would have ended up at 'mark as reviewed' not as PROD if I took them through the flowchart (at the very least by giving the benefit of the doubt to a few sources). But just as Missvain should not be hounded for making a few borderline articles, I don't think we should do the same to Kudpung. He does good work and is one of the few people who provides oversight to the oversight by reviewing the reviewers and checking autopatrolled users etc. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 21:02, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* it was never my intention to hound Kudpung. I agree he does good work, I apologise if I ever implied otherwise. I acknowledge it is often thankless and difficult work doing article review. My concerns are that he assume good faith and consider tagging pages for notability before immediately PRODing (especially when the editor made an attempt to provide valid secondary sources!) IMHO, it would be less abrasive to take an article to AFD when a. the editor is a known good contributor with a good reputation, and b. there has been obvious effort put into the initial article. What I think page patrollers often fail to understand is that content producers often take a lot of time and effort in creating good or great articles. It is much easier to tag an article and have it deleted than it is to produce content. Nobody is going to get it right all the time. Saying that a good editor is flying under the radar and coasting on previous good work is a slap in the face, and horrid for the person writing the article. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 21:21, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* If you want to change one of the fundamental principles of Wikipedia, then start an RFC, but the self-appointed New Page Patrol doesn't get to decide that on their own. Gamaliel ( talk ) 18:19, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* You seem to have bought into this website's marketing gimmick, which is only honored in the breach; not exactly CLUEFUL. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 20:19, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* It’s not a gimmick. It’s part of the project’s ethos. Either try to get it changed (best of luck with that!) or accept it. Don’t be disruptive in doing so, and please don’t make personal attacks. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 20:49, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* This is seriously concerning. You literally have an example here of a great editor in fantastic standing who contributes substantial quality work being targeted by people who monitor pages and who are judging them on high for not having high enough quality of work. We aren’t talking about the average fly-by-night newbie (who, incidentally, cannot even create new articles). This entire project is based on volunteers and we don’t even allow paid editing. This means people do this entirely for free and we only care that they follow our policies and guidelines. That “Anyone can edit” Wikipedia is absolutely a core tenet of Wikipedia and our community is constantly trying to lower barriers to entry whilst at the same time striving to ensure our quality remaims high. I am truly concerned about the elitist sentiments your comment implies. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 18:58, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* I suspect Kudpung doesn't adhere to your tribalism that regulars don't have to play by the rules. Your "great editor in fantastic standing who contributes substantial quality work" needs to actually do quality work, rather than receive your free pass. You may recall, we still . Chris Troutman ( talk ) 20:19, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* Every editor can always do better. The editor in question, Missvain, does do substantial, high quality work. That is not in dispute. Page patrollers also do not get a feee pass, they should be following guidelines and policies. I’m sorry you appear to think otherwise. I fail to see how that ArbCom case is relevant, incidentally. Could you explain how it relates to Missvain’s contributions? - Chris.sherlock (talk) 20:28, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* Yes,, every editor. I thank you for listing all your other accounts on my talk page. It certainly inspired my immediate curiosity and I ended up spending 2 hours on it and , for me anyway, explains why you are here and Wikilawyering - and that's another issue entirely. I have attempted here to resolve one issue without opening one huge can of worms which those with proper memories here have been discrete enough not embarass anyone with. You may wish to reconsider before citing admin behaviour, ethics, and paid editing so let's not risk opening another, because AGF is not a suicide pact. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:04, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
* I’m not sure what you mean by a “Suicide pact”. I have had mental health issues in the past (unfortunately quite openly) where I felt like committing suicide. I am much better now, so I have no intention of committing suicide or attempting to do so. I am curious you would bring this up. Can you clarify? Also, I’m not sure how it is relevant to this discussion. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 03:11, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
* Our social policies are not a suicide pact -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 03:18, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
* How does that in any way relate to myself? It rather seems to me I have been threatened by Kudpung. As far as I’m aware, no one is questioning my ethics. I’ve never engaged in paid editing and I’m not an admin. Can I assume that is about to dig into my past or try to expose something he feels I have done wrong? I would like some clarification as to what he is referring to, right now it seems vaguely threatening. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 03:25, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
* (On a slightly less fulminant note, I noticed that Rentier's currently not maintained NPP browser gives the option of showing autopatrolled articles, while the New Page Feed does not. If one were inclined to do spot checks, this would be a useful functionality. Probably unrealistic to expect it to be implemented, though; and in any case, not requiring spot checks is kind of the point of the flag... -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:55, 6 January 2020 (UTC) )

A strange thing happened
Yesterday when New Page Patrolling I reviewed Richard Rudzitis and moved on to the next article in the feed. I then thought that I should really have sent the creator of Richard Rudzentis a message. So I went back and sent the message via the page creation tool, and the message ended up on my talk page rather than that of the intended recipient! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:32, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
* The interface was recently changed to support sending message to "reviewer" in addition to the "author." Now, I am not sure why, but sending to "reviewer" is the default selection; so if you go to any article now, review it, write message and click send, it'd end up on your talkpage – that's what you did. To actually send the message to the "author", you've to (additionally) select the author name from the drop-down menu that's just above the textfield. – Ammarpad (talk) 08:17, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
* OK, as I implied above, the order is really not ideal. I now understand @ already raised this issue in T233729; but there was no follow up. I have created T242324 to fix the order. – Ammarpad (talk) 09:15, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
* I had actually noticed this last week and thought it was a bug or something. Lapablo (talk) 09:51, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
What is going on here at Patrick Kogler
Check out this series of page moves re Patrick Kogler in quick succession from Draft space, to Wikipedia space, to User space, and finally to Main space.
The editor in question has moved pages before without any issues.
The article was moved to Draft space by a few days ago with concerns of promotional/advertising issues (and thus probably UPE issues).
My question is whether this is some kind of new technique to by-pass AFC, OR, just an editor making a series of coincidental mistakes? Britishfinance (talk) 11:11, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* The move by the editor just adds more suspicion to my earlier reason for moving it to draft, i'm not sure if its a mistake trying to move the page to mainspace or just trying to maneuver the review system. Could you try talking to the editor on his/her talkpage? Lapablo (talk) 11:29, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* , I am sure that the editor will say it was a mistake (which it might just be), however, I wanted to run this by the more technology-minded/AFC-experienced editors on this forum just in case there was a "technique" being used that we may not be aware of (i.e. Trust, but verify)? thanks. Britishfinance (talk) 11:39, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
* This is unquestionably not a mistake. The article is almost certainly UPE based on the presence of other powerful red flags and I've blocked the author for creating it. I've seen this before, but not like this (examples: Draft:Curt Mercadante, Draft:Abdulla Tawfeeq Almoayed, Draft:Conformis). They are trying to bypass being listed at NPP and/or my suspicious article list. But the WMF's poor software engineering bites us again: the logging table does not store the target title as structured information. MER-C 09:01, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
* Thanks for that, I thought that the sequence of moves was too deliberate and fast to be a mistake. Should (can) we get an edit filter to trap this? Should we also alert others (e.g. AFC) to this trick? Britishfinance (talk) 11:07, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
Further thought. When we find a certified (and skilled) UPE operator per this case, should we not run a checkuser on all related accounts that have edited their articles, and even check any patrollers who have "curated" their articles (for signs of patrollers who are UPEs)? Ultimately, we don't have great technology in combatting these editors (per our previous discussions), and they seem very familiar with our system and how to re-create themselves. However, when we do find a strong case, should we not use it fully (e.g. some these guys probably all work in the same building, and thus share an IP)? Ultimately, NPP is where these types of editors are discovered (and NPP is clearly a problem for them). thanks. Britishfinance (talk) 13:33, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
* , Patrollers cannot curate their own articles. The button is grayed out. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 23:16, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
* , my concern is that these UPEs are working in groups and hence when we find one that is definitely a UPE (per above), we should look for the rest while the checkuser data is still fresh? For, example, these are two recent AfDs for a connected subject made by different UPE editors, but who are undoubtedly connected (Articles for deletion/Ethan Conrad and Articles for deletion/Ethan Conrad Properties). It would make sense for such groups to get an account into the NPP system to curate the network's articles? Britishfinance (talk) 00:57, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
* , Drop them on WP:COIN? — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 01:15, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
* I have listed the drafts or articles on Kogler, Conformis, Almoayed, and Mercandente for deletion as G11. I have also blocked Potenca Potenco301 as an advertising only account. Any subsequent entries from socks of his will qualify for speedy deletion as G5. The account is too old for checkuser. DGG ( talk ) 16:43, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
* Thanks, and ICPH; doing NPP brings one directly in contact with quite a few of these cases. NPP can be pretty labour intensive on several fronts, so pursuing them through other boards can increase the labour materially. Britishfinance (talk) 17:34, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Opinions Needed (Copyright)
I came across this new article while on patrol: Darryl Castelino. Would the text copied from his military award constitute a copyright violation? Thanks. --- DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:20, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
* The source site's Copyright policy says: "Material featured on this Website may be reproduced free of charge after taking proper permission by sending a mail to us. However, the material has to be reproduced accurately and not to be used in a derogatory manner or in a misleading context. Wherever the material is being published or issued to others, the source must be prominently acknowledged." Has anyone sent "a mail" to them? I'd say the source may or not be "prominent" by only being listed in References. Seems like verbatim copying (non-derogatory) is probably acceptable here, but I'm no expert. Whether the award is notable enough for an article is another question I'd ask. -- Yae4 (talk) 23:10, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
* This appears to be an attribution license, which WP is normally fine with. If mailing the source is a prerequisite, it needs to be established that that has happened. In such a case one might consider removing the text until the editor who wants to add it confirms that permission has been received. - However, apart from the licensing technicalities, I'm pretty sure this monster quote shouldn't be in the article at all. There's no justification for dropping in the whole thing. Summarize and link. We aren't a government award records mirror... -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 00:40, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
* I would agree with Elmidae. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:46, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
* I think this is problematic because it is adding an additional set of criteria, namely "reproduced accurately", "not to be used in a derogatory manner" and "source must be prominently acknowledged." None of these are compatible with the Wikipedia site license which allows the content to be remorselessly edited, used for any purpose and does not typically have a prominent acknowledgment. The words "prominent" and "derogatory" are subjective and it isn't clear how this would be assessed. I would ask the experts at WP:CQ. QuiteUnusual (talk) 15:33, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
* Seems simple to me: A license requiring "not used derogatory" is not a free license. But a brief quote can be included under fair use. DGG ( talk ) 15:55, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
To be safe I will forward the discussion to WP:CQ as suggested by QuiteUnusual above. --- DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk|Contribs)
* Nobody at that board has responded after four days; they all seem busy with more pressing matters. I may simply remove that text from the article in question and paraphrase something shorter and sweeter. --- DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk|Contribs) 17:25, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

* , Unfortunately, I don't think anything can be done. The more you edit, the more likely you are going to end up bogged down in some drama quagmire somewhere. I've currently got my foot stuck in one myself. Onel kept a pretty low profile, but it happens and I can't blame him for wanting less drama in his life. My main point here was just that we will need more activity from the rest of the reviewers if we are going to avoid a spike in the backlog. This sort of thing was bound to happen eventually, It's happened before and we will weather the storm. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 23:40, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

* A heavy loss to NPP. Onel5969 will be missed forever. CAPTAIN MEDUSA talk 07:50, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
* Onel5968 was one of the circa 25 editors (most of whom are admins) who are essential to the functioning of WP, and who do large parts of the work on key Boards (we all kindof know this list and worry about it). Sad that he felt driven off by something they worked so hard on. I can't find the exact AfD but I remember seeing one pre-Christmas where he stated batch AfD nominations of his own GEO articles were in response to an AfD he created from NPPing. Britishfinance (talk) 10:04, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
* The queue will start to expand quite heavily over the next few months, before it starts to settle back down again. We need to do a good bit extra. Sad to see Onel, another excellent editor, hounded out. It seems to be the norm now. I think perhaps nobody explained the notability criterion around locations, villages, settlements and so on, early enough and when you create a bunch of articles and find they are not within it and effectively non-notable, it is very very hard to take it. scope_creep Talk 12:12, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
* At this AfD, Onel5968 made the case that his articles did meet GEO (they were USGS and not GNIS sourced); was he definitely wrong here, or, was it a local consensus that felt he was wrong – E.g. should this have been decided per a broader RfC. Thanks. Britishfinance (talk) 12:22, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
* An earlier bulk AfD was Road Junction Windmill, Arizona. The trigger seems to have been Desert Vista Estates III, Arizona per the retirement statement Andrew🐉(talk) 12:11, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
* Onel was doing excellent incredible work at NPR. Unfortunately his time with Wikipedia has come to the end. This will leave huge gap and tasks to fulfill for all of us. He is a veteran with over 400, 000 edits and I was glad that he pinged me once by saying that he unreviewed one of the articles that I curated. Onel was a sensational and dedicated Wikipedian who is going to be missed by everyone here. Start of the year we have lost the services of a veteran Wikipedian. Abishe (talk) 12:54, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
* A devastating loss. I was always glad to see Onel's sig around. Our fears of losing one of our most prolific editors are realized. NPP is going to need to attract additional reviewers. Also further evidence to me that we are not doing enough to value contributions and keep experienced editors around. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 18:22, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
* Awe man I hate to hear about Onel5968 he was such an amazing editor and huge value to NPP although I can understand and respect his reasoning. Alucard 16 ❯❯❯ chat? 11:20, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
I feel like somebody should be reaching out/emailing Onel5969 here? They are a massive loss to NPP (potentially the end of the viability of NPP), and a very nice and valuable editor to WP. Isn't there more we could/should do here? Britishfinance (talk) 00:51, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
* Just a note for anyone hoping to help pick up the slack in Onel5969's absence, Onel was particularly diligent in patrolling the back end of the NPP queue. More hands are needed on that side of the queue, not the least because having more NPP eyes on edit-warred redirect recreations significantly reduces reviewer burnout. signed,Rosguill talk 00:07, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
Possible UPE
I just noticed several recent articles created by. Three have been speedied. Four more are in mainspace. But I find the editing pattern unusual. Several new bios by a new user in a short time frame, some with excessive citations, on a variety of people who all seem marginally notable. Maybe UPE. Is this a matter to bring up at WP:COIN? MB 00:16, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
* Not this editor's first time. After a few days mechanical edits gets straight into the UPE-quarantine pool with Draft:Jeff Gum and Draft:Danielle Galligan etc. (paid for BLPs that their sock farm has been struggling to get published). Following trail of this account also links to several other "new" accounts working on these articles. I would guess a checkuser by and would reveal a broader network. I get the feeling that the circa 3 month gaps these "new accounts" are using are designed to get around the checkuser data, however, that doesn't solve their essential problem of having to reveal themselves by to continually trying to get their client's obscure BLPs published that WP editors have no interest in (as they are non-notable).

Saudi sourcing problems alert
I ask new-page patrollers to please be wary on subjects in which the Saudi government takes a strong interest. Sadly, there may not be reliable, independent sources of information available on many Saudi-Arabia-related subjects.
The Saudi Arabian government exerts very close control over the domestic media; it appoints editors, issues national bans on employing specific journalists, sends out guidelines on how stories are to be covered, requests that influential public figures make specific statements in support of the government on specific occasions, and so on. People who publish the wrong thing, or fail to publish the right thing, may be disappeared, arrested, imprisoned, kept in solitary confinement, tortured, or killed.
The result is a press that strongly resembles a government PR department, and publications that resemble press releases. With the best will in the world, I don't think that Saudi-government-controlled sources can reasonably be considered independent of the government. This includes any media outlet operating from a .sa website, and some Saudi-owned media outlets run from outside the country (Asharq Al-Awsat, for instance). In other countries in which there is little freedom of the press, and the censors are beholden to the Saudi government, the media also publish some stories which seem to come from the same copybook.
The Saudi Arabian government also attempts to exert control over foreign media (see Jamal Khashoggi and Jeff Bezos). Saudi Arabia is spending large sums on overt and covert influencers (those who do not declare their conflicts of interest). It seems to be doing this to improve its public image abroad, especially in the wake of Jamal Khashoggi's death, and attract tourists.
How did I come across this? I decided to rescue an abandoned AFC draft on a book fair. In my ignorance, I really didn't expect the topic to be that political, at least not to the extent that I'd wind up writing about torture...

Copyvio is there a chicken/egg tool?
Hello everyone, I am reviewing Stile antico. Earwig's Copyvio detector identified two sources of potential copyright violation. One of them states that it is quoting from Wikipedia so no worries there. However, the other source is an Amazon review from October 2017: two substantial paragraphs. Is there an easier way to figure out if the Amazon review predates the Wikipedia content other than going through Diffs in the article history? Also, this article appears to have had significant material merged recently. Thanks for any help. AugusteBlanqui (talk) 15:54, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
* , I'm not aware of any tool that could help, but in this case it should be pretty straightforward to figure it out, just go to the last article revision before the date that the review was posted.

I once came across a UPE article whose creator was previously glocked for socking and yet after their apparent repentance on other projects, they had gotten NPR here without so much as an on-wiki record of their request.Usedtobecool ☎️ 15:58, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
* There are some administrators I would not trust to create an article here, but I would trust pretty much every global rollbacker. They typically know what they are doing.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:35, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
* I would agree they know what they're doing when it comes to their areas of expertise. But the skills required of someone to rollback and the skills required to create new notable content are not exactly the same. I'm not quite following the logic of them having automatic autopatrol. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 05:26, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
* To get a global rollback, one needs to demonstrate clue on several Wikimedia projects. I just do not see how say a Hungarian speaking global rollbacker who is not proficient in English will come here and start an article. Samy way I will not start an article in the Hungarian Wikipedia. We can look at the list of regular editors of the English Wikipedia who have global rollback (I assume this should be easily available) but my guess they are all autopatrolled.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:38, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
* Looking at global group management all global rollbackers do in fact have autopatrolled rights even if they don't hold them locally on English Wikipedia. There are currently 87 editors with this right. Alucard 16 ❯❯❯ chat? 09:24, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

* No, I just wanted to note that, until I create enough articles to warrant applying for autopatrol, I'm planning to unpatrol articles I create (unless the community explicitly wants me not to). I know that users that create a lot of basic stubs aren't exactly what autopatrol was designed for, so I'll work on some bigger articles too DannyS712 (talk) 23:42, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Add links to undelete search?
Would it be useful to add links to each entry in the New Pages feed to Special:Undelete search? They would function something like the archive search links I add to my suspicious page lists. The rationale is to make the detection of non-exact title reposts easier, which is particularly relevant for dealing with UPE. (This will, of course, be useful for admins only.)
This requires either an interface administrator to find the appropriate system message to edit, or a straight forward (hopefully!) patch to the software. MER-C 10:01, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

The new pages patrol is hosting its first discussion of sources from regions affected by systemic bias, starting with Ghana, and editors watching this page are invited to participate. This discussion is being hosted in order to better equip new page reviewers to be able to assess articles about subjects in these regions, and is intended to build editor’s basic familiarity with sources.

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020
Hello ,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
* Source Guide Discussion
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
* Redirects
* Discussions and Resources
* There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
* A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
* A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
* A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Single source articles that meet SNGs?
I've been noticing quite a few new articles with only a single reference showing up in the new pages feed, often meeting one SNG or another, and have even noticed a few that were created by autopatrolled users/admins. I usually tag these for 'more references', or in some cases add refs myself (if I remotely care about the topic and they are easily accessible; I'm not going to bend over backwards for the 4000th footballer article to be created this week). What is everyone else's approach to these sorts of articles? (Articles that have only a single reference but meet an Subject Notability Guideline)? If this is unnacceptable, as I believe it is (at the top level of policy it is contrary to WP:5P2, which requires "sources", plural) what should we do about admins and autopatrolled users who create articles like this? — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 22:59, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
* I think that it depends heavily on the nature of the article's subject. 1-source article about a village that thus meets WP:NGEO or a historical subject that is likely to have been covered in history books (but not necessarily anything online)? Tag as needing more sources and move on. 1-source article about a song by an obscure band that charted for a week? Search for sources, then follow up with redirecting to the band or AfD as necessary. signed,Rosguill talk 23:13, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
* Just to add on to Rosguill's comment. In history there are some well-known (in the field), authoritative biographical sources. For example, the Dictionary of Irish Biography by Cambridge University Press and the Royal Irish Academy. Although more than one source would be preferable, inclusion in one of these canonical reference texts should satisfy notability. AugusteBlanqui (talk) 11:32, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

Procedures
I had been vaguely aware of new page patrolling in the past, though not of this project. I recently created an article (not my first one) and, after wondering for a few days why it was not turning up in Google searches, I found on Quora (which may not have provided the right information) that WP articles that are not patrolled are not indexed by Google (unless they are 90+ days old). What I find confusing is why there are unpatrolled pages from before 2010 – it makes me wonder how priorities are determined. My article was not tagged for any potential problem, is not an orphan, etc. I suppose I could join the project instead of complaining, but I don't feel fully confident in my understanding of the CSD and would probably be overzealous in their application.
Anyway, feel free to delete this post if it proves unhelpful (which it most likely is). Toccata quarta (talk) 08:48, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
* , hi there. The information you found on Quora is correct. While a few articles might show very old dates they only entered the queue recently. This is normally because they had been a redirect and then made into an article. Your new article will be reviewed at some point, hopefully soon. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 09:09, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
* Hi, adding to Barkeep's comments, it's worth noting that due to the high number of new articles (hundreds) that Wikipedia understandably receives every day, and due to the fact that the reviewers are all volunteers - just like you the article creator - there is a significant backlog. Volunteering for back-room work on Wikipedia is not everyone's cup of tea or aim, and I can tell you personally that after a decade or more doing New Page Patrolling and trying to improve the system, it is or can be pretty depressing and a lot of reviewers don't stick around. To get the full picture, take a look at Special:NewPagesFeed. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:29, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
AfD problem
Hi there. It's happened a couple of times. I've nominated a page for deletion using the NPP tool and it has placed the nomination notice on the page, notified the user, and added the entry to the AfD log, but hasn't created the AfD page. I've then had to re-write my reasoning through twinkle and re nominate before cleaning up the mess. Any help would be appreciated (Note: I let the process finish before pressing close, so it isn't me preventing it from creating the AfD page). Thanks, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 20:29, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
* This may be yet another instance of, a bug in PageTriage with AfD that I and several other users have experienced. ComplexRational (talk) 20:34, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
* I'd recommend relying on Twinkle more and the NPP tool less. signed,Rosguill talk 20:51, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
* Which,, is precisely not what we are supposed to be doing, but I do understand your frustration - particularly where the WMF boldly and proudly claimed 'mission accomplished' a couple of months ago. Time, perhaps, to put more pressure on the Foundation again. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:37, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
* I think our next step is to get them to update the NPP code base. The lack of updates meant that that updating it proved harder than it should be and is also part of the reason it was not eligible to be made available to other wikis. And at some point this old code will prove an existential threat to NPP. So I think we need to get ahead of the curve on it even at cost of swallowing bugs like this for even longer. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:11, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
* NPR, Curation, and the New Pages Feed, is a good system. It the only firewall against unwanted new pages, and it's all we have. It's so important and crucial to the very existence of a credible encyclopedia corpus that the system should be kept but the entire code behind it should be rewritten from the ground up. This reinforces the position I have held for 3 years that this goes far, far beyond a simple annual wish list for gadgets. There is absolutely no lack of funds to accord to anything so important, and by doing so they could have their Wikiagnistic project to boot. The bulletins the WMF proudly publishes about their plans for the distant future as a socio-political movement don't take any of these essential processes under the bonnet (hood) into account. But these are only, ::sigh::, my opinions. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:27, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
Additional languages on Google Translate
Google Translate apparently just added five new languages to its service: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur.

* We have indeed been struggling to get down below 5k articles in the backlog. There has been some support for a backlog drive. I have mixed feelings about such a drive for two reasons. 1) I think it can prioritize speed over accuracy. That should not be our way. Ever. 2) It can burn-out reviewers so progress gets wiped away after the drive. I don't know about how to address 2 other than not doing it. As for 1, I think if the drive perhaps focused more on # of days with reviews rather than total reviews we could incentive participation over just trying to do as many reviews as possible. Thoughts from others? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:20, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Reviewer causing issues
Where is the appropriate place for me to suggest that a certain page reviewer is causing issues (although acting in good faith). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Somatochlora#Ways_to_improve_Somatochlora_meridionalis where the reviewer added tags to a page that don't make sense (including suggesting that the lead is an issue on a short stub without a lead). When I asked for clarification they seemed unable to understand my concerns and instead brought up some unrelated issues, including a suggestion that I replace a grammatically correct phrase with a grammatically incorrect one. And since then has not responded despite having made other edits. Not sure what I should be doing here but this does not seem appropriate to me. ThanksSomatochlora (talk) 20:56, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Adding short descriptions to new articles
Per WP:SHORTDESC, all articles should eventually have a short description template. It would be helpful to add that in the reviewing instructions. WikiProject Short descriptions provides instructions on how to add short descriptions. <b style="color:#FA0">Darylgolden</b>(<b style="color:#F00">talk</b>) Ping when replying 04:06, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
* I've tried doing it. I've received help by experts at it, but I stopped. The problem comes when the short description conflicts with an incorrect description on Wikidata. There are ways of dealing with it, and I was shown them, but it required too much work to handle the necessary corrections on wikidata also. The need for corrections is very common--there are a great many wikidata descriptions saying no more than "a person" or repeating puffery from the article.Certainly, let those who want to cope with this do so--we do need to get the many errors and inadequacies fixed. But we have an even more pressing need to check new pages for promotionalism and notability and nonsense, and anything which slows this down detracts from the main task. We can mention doing it, but as an optional task for those interested. DGG ( talk ) 19:03, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Have there been any recent changes to when articles are released for search engine indexing? I created a new article 107 days ago (November 19, 2019) and though 90 days have passed, Google hasn't picked it up for indexing, and Wikipedia's policies regarding releasing an article for indexing seem, to me, pretty opaque and hard to find. --Canned Soul (talk) 18:03, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Is there any limit per day when it comes to patrolling new pages per editor? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 10:59, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

What do reviewers think about Arbcom clerks being granted auto patrolled so that case pages don’t need to be patrolled? Helpful? Not helpful? Thanks. Levivich <sup style="white-space:nowrap;">[ dubious – discuss] 15:49, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
* , I know it's possible to patrol non-mainspace pages, but I have yet to come across anything suggesting that such pages need patrolling. They don't get added to the queue, and my impression was that our ability to patrol them is just a code architecture quirk, not an intentional feature. signed,Rosguill talk 17:22, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
* +1 on that. Even if they did, I would think it could be done by whitelist/bot along the lines of redirect autopatrol (as ArbCom clerking a whole other skill set than writing articles, so should be handled as such) if they aren't already sysops (in which case any sort of patrol is unnecessary).

* I think user space/wikipedia space patrolling is largely obsolete but this opinion does not seem to be held widely among the community. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 03:35, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Unreliable sources highlighter
Reviewers may want to have a look at a recent / production: a script to automatically highlight various levels of unreliable sources. Very useful for getting a single glance impression of the quality of a reference section.

We are just becoming a sports statistics website
I'm honestly just fed up with stuff like this: 2020 Fed Cup Europe/Africa Zone Group I – Pool B (Tallinn). Honestly. How the hell are we supposed to keep up with the flood of undersourced blatant fails of WP:NOTSTATS? I have no idea why people keep flooding the wiki with this useless garbage. There are plenty of sports statistics pages that people can go to for this sort of info, why should we be a web host for it? It's such a huge sink on editor and reviewer time. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 10:03, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

* Surely, if any group of editors has the sway/authority to request removal of autopatrolled user rights then it's NPP? As much as auto-patrol reduces NPP workload, it shouldn't be used to escape scrutiny. Cheers, Polyamorph (talk) 13:28, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
* , The main issue is that policy and guidelines don't actually strongly discourage this sort of behaviour. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 16:52, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
* i completely agree. Its not just these type of articles, but there are some other types too. What we need to do is to make the SNGs a little more strict than they currently are. At the top of my head, WP:TVSERIES is way too broad. It allows an article to any TV serial that has been released/went on air. As a result, there has been been spamming of promotional articles from Indian television. Sorry, I went off topic. But I think we (all the wikipedia editors) should update each SNG one-by-one. When they were originally created/drafted, enwiki did not have a problem with SPAs, and UPE among others to extent of current days. —usernamekiran (talk) 19:53, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

* It's been a sports statistics website for over a decade.

* My perspective on this issue at this point is that at least for sports, fighting this trend is wasted effort due to the significant amount of good faith sports editors who believe that notability guidelines shouldn't apply to them (or else have a ridiculously lenient understanding of GNG). If Wikipedia is a garden, and the editors working in the sports section insist over and over that they like the weeds, then I have better things to do than argue with them at AfD. My attitude is less laissez-faire when it comes to the business spam, which is actually harmful to the encyclopedia, and is not being added in good faith. signed,Rosguill talk 17:56, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

* BTW I was recently "informed" atArticles for deletion/Lao Division 1 that there is an additional "General Notability Guideline" which is a sub page at project football which further expands the exceptions for sports beyond what the sports SNG grants. <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 19:09, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
* FOOTYN being a guideline is a common misconception. All we can do is hope to educate. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:42, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
* I agree that it is getting out of hand, something which has been going on for a long time. Unfortunantely, essays like FOOTYN are commonly used as a reason for keeping an article, when it isn't even a guideline. But WP:NFOOTY - which is a guideline - seems to set the bar for football players way too low. And when someone challanges the notability of a player based on a lack of independent RS with SIGCOV, NFOOTY is raised, even though (according to the SNG itself): "meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept". Such guidelines only show whether a player is likely to meet GNG, not exempt him/her of the guideline. However, this seems to have been forgotten as editors counter claims that a player doesn't meet GNG despite meeting NFOOTY with the argument that NFOOTY is sufficient. We can't do much about the problem, except for praying the Serenity Prayer and focussing our attention elsewhere. --MrClog (talk) 19:55, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
* The proposal for raising the floor of NFOOTY got some support when we had the big discussion last summer. If the broader wikipedia community thinks it's a problem it can change. If the community doesn't, well then it's not a problem so.... Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 20:09, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
* , I took a look at which websites get referenced the most in new pages. www.sports-reference.com is the third-most cited source. To base articles entirely on sports-reference, as we do on Victoria Umunna for example, is a copyright violation. It should be possible to G12 such articles. Vexations (talk) 20:41, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

* , well, one thing to consider is that you have to deal with a user who appears, ahem... combative. I found over 3000 articles that only cite sports-reference.com, and they're almost all by the same author. I'm not sure that I'm willing to challenge them on copyvios. I'm pretty sure that databases are copyrighted. I you copy all the fields from a record, and then re-create that record, that's not "transformative use". So, no, it shouldn't happen. Vexations (talk) 23:16, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

* , Per https://www.sports-reference.com/sharing.html: "You are free to use this data anywhere, we would just ask that you include the citation at the bottom of the table as a courtesy to us for providing this service". I don't see a CC-BY license anywhere, and I do see "Copyright © 2000-2020 Sports Reference LLC. All rights reserved." so find that confusing, but I suppose a case can be made that we're free to re-publish their data. To me, it just seems pointless. Write a bot to import it to Wikidata and be done with it. Manually copying it to wikipedia in a format that is not machine-readable just seems like an incredible waste of time and effort.

Mildly promotional but notable topics, a solution?
Mildly promotional but notable topics are the current bane of NPP, and have been for a long time. We currently lack good tools to deal with them. I've thought for a while that suggesting a policy change to the COI guideline that supports stubifying new promo articles on notable topics would be a good idea.
Please see User:Insertcleverphrasehere/COISTUBIFY, where I have a bunch more explanation of why I think this is needed and a draft of the proposed section to be added to the COI guideline. Can I please ask that people provide feedback if they have any, good or bad! Thanks. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 18:32, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
* Couple of comments:
* 'Demolishing' an article implies that one could be too lazy to do anything thorough about the problem and it can only be seen as aggressive from the creator's POV. We have enough trouble with editor conflict already and to 'encourage' reviewers to potentially increase conflict could be seen as a bad idea.
* We already have a trouble with stubs. They are created in their tens of thousands. We are looking for depth in content and this should be achieved through nurturing problematic articles into fleshed-out, neutral articles. Yes, it can be very hard to neutralise these articles, as you say, but simply reducing an article to stub status doesn't help the coverage that Wikipedia needs. And besides, stubs just cause frustration for editors who have more to watch; either delete it or keep it fleshed-out.
* I think that this is a really great idea, but there could be some problems. Regards, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 21:13, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
* , unfortunately "delete it" isn't always an option (AfD can be fickle when the topic itself is notable), and we certainly cannot expect a new page patroller to flesh out a new article themselves. The effort required in dealing with COI articles that are full of mildly promotional content, or content that doesn't mach the sources provided, or content that is filled with dozens of innapropriate links; These are the articles that waste a reviewers time and are bogging down NPP. They aren't quality submissions. The idea behind this proposal is that we are better off dropping back to a well sourced stub that can be expanded organically from there.
* I'll try to expand the background section to explain this a bit better. I'll remove the word 'demolished' from the background section, but this isn't going to be part of the proposed changes anyway. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 21:37, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

IMO stubifying would be tougher / more complicated than it sounds.Maybe a real example of a mildly-promotional but notable one would be good for the discussion. <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 21:46, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
* , well, digging through the new pages feed the first example I found was: Perfect_Day_(company). (among others) spent an inordinate amount of time cleaning up this paid editor's draft at AfC. It ended up as a Histmerge of two different pages created by two COI editors, and AfC was bypassed after the draft was declined by recreation in main space. All of this could have been avoided by stubifying it and informing the COI edtors to edit elsewhere when they tried to re-insert promo and poorly sourced material. Even after all of the above, it still reads like an article clearly written by someone with a conflict of interest. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 22:15, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
* I agree that it's a problem. I asked for an example to see if my "stubifying would be tougher / more complicated than it sounds" is founded. For example, I assume that the October 11th 2019 version is at it's "pre-effort" state. To me that looks like a big tough job to stubify. Selecting large amounts of material to delete which would also mean deleting a large amount of references. <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 03:08, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
* , I guess it comes down to this: Is New Page Patrol reasonably expected to check every reference for a new promotional article written by a COI editor? Even when it is clear from a cursory glance that some/many of them are junk and/or misused? Are we required to re-write every notable semi-promotional article? I would argue that no, we are not (The Draftify guide supports us, but it also derails us if they are smart enough to re-create it or move it). It isn't practical, and it contributes to editor burnout. As it is we are too shorthanded to be dealing with this stuff properly. I would guess that half of cases like this get some minor fixups and the most egregious 'bad sources' removed, then end up rubber stamped by somebody.
* Perhaps I need a better way of framing the argument, but I think we should get the community's approval to stubify promo COI articles on sight. We don't delete them, because they are notable (Per WP:G11, this is preferred to deletion), but we remove the COI editor's contributions and replace them with the bare minimum required to meet A1 and GNG requirements. We need to find a way to process articles like this quickly, even if we have to throw some babies out with the bathwater. Otherwise the paid editors get to buy one, get one free and drain all of our already limited resources.
* I guess the issue this causes is edit warring over the COI editor trying to restore their version. Posting at WP:COIN might help here, but I suspect that without something in place that actually stops the COI/PAID editor from editing the article, they'll keep going at it.
* This was my first idea... maybe it isn't enough. I dunno. Suggestions? — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 03:27, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
* I dunno. One idea would be to use your idea but a quick procudure to stubify it. Vs. the laborious process of selectively removing material. Like make it one sentence and choose the 1 or 2 best references to keep. Alternatively, maybe it should just get tagged and marked as reviewed. <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 19:32, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
* , Hmmm... maybe I wasn't more clear... That's exactly what I'm after. A community consensus to support instant stubification of mildly-mostly promotional COI articles, or COI articles that are problematic in other ways (link spam or just really poor writing). If you look at the 'procedure' that I linked above, it is literally to write a sentence, add two sources that meet GNG, add a reflist, and delete everything else (It previously said two or more sentences, but I think you are right, even one sentence is OK). I think we need to draft a proposal and refine a procedure. I think we need to discuss what appropriate rules regarding what the COI editor/author is allowed to do after the article is stubified:
* Are they allowed to revert it? (if so the entire thing is kinda toothless)
* Are we proposing that they not be able to edit the article at all? (a significant change from existing policy)
* Or do we just rely on listing articles at COIN and getting backup from other editors to retain the stubified version? (e.g. rely on WP:3RR as backup)
* In this case can we trust other editors to give us backup? (I think we probably can, but you will run into situations where some editors think that bad COI content is still better than a one line stub).
* If the author is allowed to edit the article, is the author allowed to slowly insert stuff back in line for line? (this can be fought by reverting individual problematic edits, but might end up in just as much or more work for reviewers, ultimately).
* I don't have firm answers for all these questions. What do you think? — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 20:36, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
* Ultimately the community either is or isn't willing to delete promotional material even at the risk of deleting material which is otherwise notable. If it is willing to do that, then AfD provides a nice forum. If it isn't creating alternative pathways that go against that community consensus aren't going to end well for those of us (and this includes me) that think being firm against SPAM is more helpful in the long run. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:33, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
* , AfD is not cleanup is the issue. People take that seriously. AfD is (in my opinion as well) a place to assess the suitability of the topic (usually the notability). In this case I'm specifically discussing COI articles on notable topics. In any case, this proposal is meant to be a way to REDUCE the amount of editor time wasted on these articles. AfD is not a solution that helps us do that; nominating articles there actually ends up creating MORE editor time wastage on COI articles. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 20:39, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
* , fair enough but I stand by my larger point - there needs to be community consensus that this is a topic worth handling differently than we do now and some way to determine that this remedy is the correct thing to do for a given article. I'm not convinced of the former and threw out AfD as a place for the latter. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 20:47, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
* , I guess my purpose in bringing this here is to get feedback on what we can propose to the larger community. What would likely be accepted and what would not, in addition to what might actually work. An RfC will certainly be involved at some point if we decide to propose something. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 21:20, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
* I don't have the new page review experience to have an overall perspective. So I'm just using the example that you gave. I looked at the Oct 11th 2019 version of it. It has a lot of information and references in it. IMO the wording itself looks neutral, IMO the mildly promotional aspect comes choosing which areas to cover an in what depth to cover them. Being a declared COI, the editor was pretty cautious and open to input. Point being, I don't think that for that example a larger simple nuking of the material would get much support / get supported. <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 21:53, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
* I am skeptical that this will be accepted. I think you will have those who are supportive in principle but find enough to quibble about in practice (e.g. there has never been a community endorsed stubify before) and you will have those who are opposed in principle. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:33, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
* , yeah... that's my thought too... well back to the drawing board. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!) 18:43, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
* , I'm not against this idea in principle. If a clear COI could be established, then the user wouldn't be allowed to revert a stubification per our usual COI guidelines - they'd need to make edit requests to get anything changed/added to the page. The problem would be establishing a COI - all the author would need to say would be 'I don't have a COI, I am just a fan/user/someone looking to write my first article, and this subject looked interesting', and per AGF we have to believe them, or we'd have to go through the hassle of a COIN thread to get a consensus that nobody believes them.
* An alternative idea popped into my head while I was thinking about this - I haven't thought this through thoroughly, so feel free to pull it apart, but I'm imagining an extra button we could give NPP reviewers to use at the end of their review. COI editors obviously want their page to be indexed by Google so it can easily be found by potential customers. If we see an article that is about a notable subject, but which is written in such a way as to be unacceptable, could we tag it in the normal way, and then get it off the NPP queue by marking it as reviewed and not to be indexed. This ought to be accompanied by a banner saying that the article won't be indexed until it is de-promotionalised, with a button in the tag that would add it back into the NPP queue for re-review after that work had been done. If the original author wants to get it indexed, they'd have to keep working at it, following the advice they've been given to improve the sourcing/remove the puffery/whatever, or alternatively other uninvolved editors might come along and do the work for them.
* Just thinking out loud really - I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this. Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:script;color:blue;"> (blether) 12:08, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
* Just a side note, that would require an additional flag and status for articles, and new review process. Sort of a replication of the whole new article review and flagging process, but on a smaller scale. For "reviewed but not indexed" articles. <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 13:44, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
* , I wonder if we could somehow add an instruction to the Template:Advert (or create a special tag for NPP only) so that it noindexes an article whenever the template is added. If it would work, we could probably create a few more templates with a noindex instruction for articles that are unsourced, or COI articles, and the like. When the tag is removed, the noindex is removed as well. Maybe would know if it's possible to incorporate it. There was such a lengthy debate over moving articles to draft space that something like or better than this may prove helpful. Just a thought. <span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">Atsme Talk 📧 00:59, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
* Might be overkill considering there are 24000 articles with the advert tag with quite a few wrongly applied or even added by vandals. It would need to be double checked in every case by an experienced editor, and the proposal itself would need an RFC. As things stand ive noticed a NPP patroller is moving a lot of these sort of articles to draft space based on the suspiscion of UPE through the editing history rather than any solid proof, is that ok? imv, Atlantic306 (talk)
* Exactly, and that is why I included (or create a special tag for NPP only) meaning only reviewers that have been cleared for additional user rights. <span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">Atsme Talk 📧 01:23, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
* You might take a look at Controlling search engine indexing, in particular the template noindex – which can, of course. be embedded inside other templates. Your 'special tag' could incorporate that, thus removing the article from most search engine results until the tag was legitimately removed. You may need some wider consensus (like Village Pump) to give teeth to sanctions against those removing the tag without fixing the promotion. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 01:33, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
* , I think the idea of broadening our no index could be a reasonable compromise. I would agree with Rexx that we'd need consensus to make it happen but I think this is a promising idea. Best, 03:01, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
* Thank you, Barkeep. Another thought hit me after reading the link provided by RexxS - it tells us that articles >90 days are automatically indexed; therefore, neither NOINDEX__ nor the template work on them. Articles <90 days are not indexed, unless they have been patrolled and do not have the template on them (or a template that transcludes the template, such as the speedy deletion template). The latter indicates potential, as does the ability to modify the code so that it fits our purpose (see this link). The template works but not the words alone. Patrolling can be done automatically by the software (which is something we should probably investigate further to avoid garbage making it into mainspace) or by editors with autopatrol or new page reviewer user rights. A special template that contains the no index code would be a useful tool to add to our page curation tools, making it available only to those granted new page reviewer rights. As for giving the process teeth via sanctions for unwarranted removal, perhaps that would fall under GS, which is something that could be decided at ARCA. I'm not sure which is the best & most expedient way to approach applying GS once we (NPP) have determined among ourselves the best tool for the job but I am of the mind that it would serve a beneficial purpose for the project, and once implemented is something we should make well-known as it will send a message to COI editors and their clients that WP is not indexing promotional articles and unless changes are made, the article will not be getting the exposure they thought it would get. <span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">Atsme Talk 📧 09:32, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Redirect class
I’ve just learned there is such a thing as a redirect class rating at AfC. If a new article has already been rated as redirect class should I go ahead and review it? Is there any point? Thanks. Mccapra (talk) 10:41, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
* Redirects also require reviewing; some NPP folks specially focus on that. The possibilities for creating bogus, misleading, or plain superfluous redirects are vast, so do give them your attention :) -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:40, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
* Oh, just realized you mean redirects coming through AfC? I'd say they will presumably be good but they still need ticking to make them search engine detectable, and honestly it probably takes more time to check rating & pass than to just check content & review. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:54, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
* Thanks. I always look on the talk page to see if there are any useful comments there, and if project tags need to be added. That’s where I came across the Redirect class template. What concerned me was adding tags to an article and engaging with the creator, if the article was about to vanish in a redirect anyway. If that’s not an issue I’ll happily continue. Thanks for your guidance. Mccapra (talk) 17:47, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
Times of India reliability
A recent RfC on the reliability of the Times of India had an outcome of between no consensus and generally unreliable. It is a source that is used quite a bit for Indian subjects, particularly for films and actors. I'm generally not in favor of hunting down and purging old articles about non-controversial subjects when notability or source-reliability standards change, but new page reviewers should be aware going forward that we can be stricter about articles supported by trivial coverage in the ToI. signed,Rosguill talk 18:49, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
* Oh my, that's going to be a carnival... there's plenty of BLPs where the only non-trivial coverage is from a ToI fluff piece. Hey-ho... -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 22:31, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Notability process question / issue
I started here a few weeks ago after you recruited my on my talk page and have done a little over a hundred. These are a lot of work to do well, you folks that are near-keeping up with the firehose of new articles definitely deserve some type of award! And the knowledge needed to do it well is even greater than the rquirements that you put out. Beyond a super-fluent knowledge of wp:not and wp:notability you really need to also be very fluent on all of the SNG's just to get started. And despite y'all reviewing it looks like about 600 articles per day the chart says that we're falling behind.
I keep running across something that is very time consuming and have been thinking that "why should the NPP folks need to be doing that?" The typical might be an example of an artist/song/movie/person/business in another country where where is zero indication of establishing notability in the article. Nothing specific relating to a a SNG, and no suitable wp:gng coverage in the sources. So for a couple that I sent to AFD, the folks there starting doing research on coverage including translating from other languages and determined / decided that suitable coverage exists. So now I'm thinking I shouldn't have sent those there and that NPP has the responsibility to do the research to establish that suitable coverage does not exist? Either way (NPP or AFD folks) it seems that if there is nothing notability related in the article/sourcing, the work burden is on the NPP/AFD folks to do the research to establish that suitable coverage does not exist. Why can't it be the editor's responsibility to put the sources etc. in to establish notability rather than on an overloaded NPP/AFD person to do the research to basically "prove a negative" for a topic when they don't? Couldn't the process be to drop those and let them be recreated when sources are found? This seems to be more of a "standard practice" question at npp/afd rather than a policy question. <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 21:45, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
* , the idea of NPP is to act as gatekeepers of sorts on notability questions. So if something doesn't look notable we do have some level of WP:BEFORE responsibilities. The flow chart is helpful in figuring out all the steps. And you can access the flowchart via superlinks which I think of a a must have for reviewers. Does that help North? Otherwise keep the questions coming. best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:22, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
* Thanks. The flow chart is great and I know/understand it. My post was in essence suggesting that maybe the "find sources" burden should be shifted to the creator of the article.<b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 13:12, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Advice requested
I'm pretty new at this (~130 reviews) but an experienced editor. I keep running into a similar situation (maybe 10 times) where a topic pretty clearly doesn't pass Wp:GNG nor any SNG. Then when I AFD it, someone says that there is some accepted practice for keeping which is not in any of the guidelines. A recent example of this is Articles for deletion/Vedchha railway station.
My ONLY concern is trying to do the job properly. I'm starting to read these as a hint that maybe I shouldn't have taken it to AFD. Any advice on this? Are there really a lot of unwritten standard practices in play that exempt some topics / articles from GNG/SNG's? If so, is there a faster way to learn the unwritten rules than just trying to glean the legit ones from all of the "keep" arguments at AFD? Or is it common for the reviewer to just follow guidelines and policies when AFD'ing, and then let the community at AFD decide to apply the unwritten exceptions. Or should I just stick to topics where I know that there are no unwritten rules and leave the others for more experienced rviewers. ?

Song and album notability - what...
I'm getting the impression that I'm stuck with a fundamentally wrong understanding of the notability requirements for songs (WP:NSONG) and albums (WP:NALBUM). Since in frequency as newly created articles these are second only to Indian entrepreneurs, I'm requesting some feedback here.
By my understanding, none of the criteria given at these notability guidelines constitutes a pass - they merely are indicators that it might be worth someone's while to go looking for the multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label. If those can be shown, then notability is demonstrated. If you can't find them, then sufficient notability is lacking (and we are looking at a redirect in most cases). Right or wrong?
This is related to Articles for deletion/Will You? (Hazel O'Connor song)), where people are again busy claiming that "it passes WP:NSONG #X" and that this shows notability. Not a rare occurrence, but this time it's not just coming from those knwon to be constitutionally unable to vote anything but "Keep" but also from some who I suspect should have some understanding of what the guidelines mean. So some input on interpretation would be good. I don't enjoy the battles over song notability at the best of times, and could do without charging in with faulty preconceptions. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:47, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
* , my usual approach is to consider charting criteria in those SNGs to be enough to pass an NPP review, with the sole exception of when you have a perfect storm of other signals that this may not be notable (e.g. no sources except the charting, charting is on a genre-chart as opposed to the national top chart and the song was released in the 21st century but no coverage is available online) signed,Rosguill talk 18:02, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
See who reviewed page
Hi, is there any way to see who reviewed a page? — Yours, Berrely • Talk∕Contribs 13:30, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
* Yes, you can view the log of the page (accessible via history); make sure that both patrol log and page curation log are turned on, and the editor who did either one will be shown. ComplexRational (talk) 13:48, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
* , when I tried to look at the logs for the page, I clicked patrol logs and then show but nothing showed up! Any suggestions? — Yours, Berrely • Talk∕Contribs 16:18, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
* Most likely, in that case, the page creator was autopatrolled, so there would be no separate logged action for the review, as it was not done in the usual sense and instead just passed through when the page was created. ComplexRational (talk) 16:23, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

* Thank you. It turns out that this page was moved from Sa'ad Galadiman Patigi, but log entries aren't moved along with it, so the patrol is instead in that page's log. So in cases when the creator isn't autopatrolled (I apologize if I jumped to conclusions), we have to check the logs for moves or anything else that "breaks" the continuity. That said, the log entry is here. ComplexRational (talk) 16:35, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Sensitivity to top level tags
I know that the instructions already talk about being careful with top level tags. I'm an experienced editor but newer at NPP and thought I might make an observation on a communication dichotomy. Let's say that an article passes NPP, but like an average newer article has no serious problems but is still weak / needing work in numerous areas. To the NPP, clicking on a tag in curation might be seen as saying "here's some advice on what to work on". To an editor, a top level tag is usually seen a scarlet letter that says "there is something seriously wrong with your article." There are obviously solutions (such as just leaving reviewer notes) but I just thought it might be helpful to note this. Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 22:02, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
* Good observation. A reason to perhaps use communication and/or project rating to give guidance about how to improve as we want to encourage editors who are creating articles that pass our basic criteria even if they're not yet perfect. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:03, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

More accepted exceptions to wp:notability?
Again, I'm an experienced editor but newer at NPP. Thanks for the guidance above that WP:AFDCO is a good guide to where common practice overrides the notability guidlines.
Recently I AFD'd Arpine which is a given name / first name (Articles for deletion/Arpine). It pretty clearly didn't pass WP:GNG, and there is no applicable SNG. There is also no mention of first/given names at WP:AFDCO. (Also, it seems borderline on wp:not a dictionary). The result at AFD was that it's considered common practice for articles on first names/given names to bypass wp:notability requirements. I was wondering if there is a second list beyond WP:AFDCO where it's common practice to bypass wp:notability requirements? I know Wikipedia well enough that fuzzy situations are the norm; I'm more concerned that I'm doing the job properly. Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 21:43, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
* , in my head I've always been inclined to treat given-name SIAs as a type of disambiguation page and thus haven't rigorously applied notability guidelines to them. Off the top of my head, the only other types of articles that come to mind as not really being subject to notability are discographies and other similar articles that could be considered to be direct supplements of an article about a notable topic. signed,Rosguill talk 21:58, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

I would use the word "start" instead of "prepend". I have never seen the word "prepend" before. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:18, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

User talk/Article Discussion
In a discussion (intentionally not linked) about a particular NPP, the idea of where and how to best communicate feedback has arisen. Through the curation toolbar, on an unnreviewed article, we currently have two options. Option 1 is to leave a message for the page's creator on their user talk page while placing a tag. Option 2 is to leave a message for the page's creator on their user talk and leave a message on the article's talk page. in that discussion raised the reasonable point that creating multiple discussions on the same topic is normally a bad practice. Given that we're not likely to be able to change the programming of the curation toolbar anytime soon, are there any thoughts about how we can best communicate? Especially in cases where there might be content related comments (e.g. suggestions about sourcing)? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
* Thanks for opening the discussion here. NPP is, afaics, mostly oriented towards relatively new editors. Experienced editors, who also get NPP feedback, appear to be less the target audience for the entire NPP setup. I agree with that. Nonetheless the way NPP issues are communicated to editors with more of a track record may be experienced as somewhat condescending sometimes. Said somewhat sharpish in a recent discussion, also intentionally not linked, by someone else: "... people who know what they are doing are disrupted by busybody-patrollers who don't have a clue". For non-newbie editors, at least, content-related discussions should be directed to article talk pages, that is the talk page of the patrolled article, and nowhere else. This is about keeping mutual understanding between NPPs and experienced editors in a more optimal state than it is today. --Francis Schonken (talk) 16:00, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
* It's certainly more helpful for further article development to have such material on the article talk page, where other editors can see it, comment, and help with fixing the issue, if so inclined. On the other hand, a personal message to the creator is a more reliable heads-up that there is something to fix, to the one person most interested in doing so. Thus, I believe a double-barreled approach might be best: detail issues on article talk, drop a message to creator to check out said talk page and discuss there. Current functionality is well suited to doing just that.
* I hasten to add that I have not followed this sage analysis myself so far :p - I tend to tag & comment on article talk, relying on the creator to notice that something is going on with their new article via watchlist. But that's probably not smart, and sending additional notification by tool would clearly be helpful. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:06, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
* When reviewing an article that has been (re)created from a redirect the notice often goes to the editor who created the redirect, not the editor who wrote the article. Such notifications are sometimes ill-received. Discussions about how to improve an article should be on the talk page, and new creators/major contributors should be notified of that discussion. We should not clutter user talk pages with discussions that should be taking place on the article talk page. Vexations (talk) 16:53, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
* I've done it with a brief note on their talk page (usually with a little extra friendly/positive comment included) and then the main comment at the article talk page. I'm also slower to use tags per the reasons in my post above.<b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 10:27, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
Advice on deletions
Advice appreciated here please: a couple of times while reviewing I’ve found a page that I want to send straight to AfD. If I use the curation toolbar it’s easy but doesn’t seem to add deletion discussions. If I use twinkle it’s easy to add the deletion discussions but I presume there’s then no traceable link between the review process and the AfD. What is best to do? Thanks Mccapra (talk) 10:17, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
* The curation tool method should work but hasn't for some goodly time. At the moment it's Twinkle or clean up after the semi-broken curation tool results; I think everyone uses Twinkle as a result. AFAIK it's not a big issue that there is no logged connection between review and AfD'ing, since any editor can do the latter, regardless of NPP rights. But one hopes the tool will make it back out of limbo at some point... Do keep in mind that an AfD'd article should be marked as reviewed to get it out of the queue; it's easy to forget about that because Twinkle just takes you to the deletion discussion, while the bar tool would mark the article as reviewed at the same time. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:50, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
* Great thanks very much. I’ll stick to using twinkle then. Much obliged. Mccapra (talk) 17:41, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
* , the last bit is incorrect. Twinkle will automatically mark the page as patrolled when sending to AfD. While "patrol" is technically a different action than pagetriage reviewing (and it populates the patrol log rather than the page curation log), the effect is the same - gets the article out of the NPP queue. SD0001 (talk) 06:57, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
* , just tested it out with Danny Winn, via Twinkle. You are right that the article is removed from the queue, but if the intention is to actually mark it as reviewed/patrolled, that isn't happening. It still shows as unreviewed. Not sure if this is what is intended, or even a sensible state of things. What happens if it's kept at AfD now? Since it's not in the queue any longer, it may then just stay unreviewed and un-searchable... -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:00, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
* , if my memory serves, we decided not to mark AfD candidates as reviewed for 2 reasons: (1) the article gets indexed after it is marked as patrolled, and (2) by showing it's at AfD, other patrollers may be motivated to participate in the AfD where, oft times, there simply isn't enough participation, and bad articles linger for far too long creating a time sink.

* So, just to set me straight - are "reviewed" and "patrolled" treated as two separate states that both apply indexing, but leave the other one unchanged? I.e., Twinkle-AfD'ing indexes and patrols, but does not review, BUT removes from the review queue? I think there may be some crossed wires here :) -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
* This would explain why there are separate "patrol" and "page curation logs". I'm not sure that there's actually a difference as far as how the article is treated afterward by indexing, etc. signed,Rosguill talk 17:19, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
* If so, then I'd suggest that Twinkle be made to mark the article as reviewed as well as patrolled, just for housekeeping. Seems unnecessarily confusing otherwise. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 18:20, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
* who might have wisdom to share on the Twinkle front. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 21:17, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
* , No no, reviewing and patrolling will automatically switch the other state. You can verify this by going to an article, hiding the curation toolbar, clicking the patrol button that now shows up on the bottom, then reload the page and open up the curation toolbar again - you'll see that the page shows up as reviewed. In case of Danny Winn, as I said below, what happened was that page was not patrollable, and I did see that page in the NPP queue. SD0001 (talk) 07:06, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
Okay so I'm a bit out of my element here 'cause NPP ain't my bag, but there are several issues here. To start, "Patrol" is different from "Page curation": the former is part of mediawiki core, the latter is part of the PageTriage extension. I don't know exactly how the various tools work, but AFAICT:
* Page curation (tool or API): Appears in patrol log and page curation log, and is marked as patrolled/reviewed at Special:NewPages/Special:NewPagesFeed (respectively)
* That being said, undoing page curation doesn't show up in the patrol log, nor does re-curating a page
* Patrol (link or via Twinkle): appears in patrol log only, NOT page curation log, but is marked on both special pages
The different behavior makes sense to me: patrol is the OG, is its own thing, and is part of the main software. Page curation is an extension, a special add-on that builds a new system on top of what already existed, so it tries to play nice and hooks into patrol as best it can. The patrol function has no real knowledge of page curation's existence I don't think. This means that a patrolled page can subsequently be curated, but a curated page is, by default, already patrolled.
As far as Twinkle is concerned:
* Patrol: Twinkle can and does patrol pages
* There are default behaviors, boxes that can be unchecked, and user preferences to change those defaults. These defaults can be changed fairly easily (see below discussion)
* tag: On by default
* xfd: On by default
* csd: Off by default per request here (minimal discussion of xfd?) (452 and 453)
* prod: Twinkle doesn't patrol prod nominations.
* It could probably be made to do, as with the above preferences.
* HOWEVER: Twinkle currently can only mark a page as patrolled if it finds the mark-as-patrolled link on the page, as that has the rcid needed to patrol the page. This is bad.
* This means that if you nominate the page from, say, the history page, it won't patrol the page (dunno how you did it but that could explain why your page wasn't patrolled).
* I can probably change this by using the revision ID. Should be done anyway.
* Curation: Twinkle does not do Page curation.
* Not every wiki supports this.
* I could probably add this using the API once I play around with it a bit.
* Logging: There is a request for Twinkle to take over logging CSD/PROD (and soon XfD, I suppose) actions made from page curation.
* has said he would work on that.
I think that roughly answers/addresses most of the above? If folks want a change to how CSD/XfD/PROD/tag handles patrolling, holla back. I can probably handle the Twinkle side of things in between SAHP and existential dread, but I think my main question for y'all would be, if Twinkle eventually supported both patrolling and curation, how should Twinkle handle a page? If I didn't confuse myself, the options are 1) patrol (patrol log, no curation log); 2) curate (patrol log and curation log); or 3) patrol then curation (patrol log and curation log). It's not clear to me that 2 and 3 are notably different, except that in case 3 the patrol log entry will have the PageTriage tag whereas in case 2 it won't.
On a more personal note, this whole area is fakakta and I have no idea how any of you make heads or tails of any of it! ~ Amory <small style="color:#555"> (u • t • c) 02:23, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
* , thanks for the detailed reply, this is quite helpful. signed,Rosguill talk 03:01, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
* It isn't all that straightforward, . In fact, there appears to be a bug in mediawiki core because of which the [Mark page as patrolled] doesn't show up on all pages. As discovered, Danny Winn was one such page. Even before Rosguill marked that page as reviewed, there was no mark-as-patrolled button on the page. Hence, obviously TW couldn't patrol it. But the page was still unreviewed and was showing up as such on the NewPagesFeed.
* A live example is Carmel Secondary School, which is presently unreviewed. Hide the curation toolbar and still no mark-as-patrolled button shows up at the bottom. Trying to use the API to mark it as patrolled results in the error: . Looking directly into the database, the page does exist in the recentchanges table with rc_type = 1 (new page) and rc_patrolled = 0 (unpatrolled), which suggests it should be patrollable. EDIT: trying to patrol it using the API with revid gave that error, but using rcid instead (taken from the db query result) succeeded.
* It's worth noting that the recentchanges table does not update the page title if a page is moved. As a result, no pages that were previously moved (such as the ones created by moving from draft space) will have the patrol link. But both the pages mentioned above have no previous moves. But both were previously deleted, and I initially thought this was relevant. But bah, List of 1980 box office number-one films in the United States is an example of a page that has been previously deleted but the patrol link still shows up.
* Regarding what we can do, I agree the best thing would be to have TW mark as pagetriage-reviewed directly, rather than tinkering with the patrol business. The stuff about patrol is better discussed on phab. SD0001 (talk) 07:01, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
* If my reading of the code is correct, pages can only be patrolled while the creation is in RecentChanges (30 days). That would explain the Danny Winn case. The Carmel Secondary School case is complicated by a history merge, which might cause issues with the patrol link. — JJMC89  (T·C) 07:39, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

* So unsurprisingly the rabbit hole goes a lot deeper... staying at the level of the guy on the surface with a loaded Twinkle, it appears to me that both curating & patrolling upon XfD would be a useful step. This does leave open possible issues with curation being applied by any user, regardless of whether they have the NPP right or not; may be exploitable in some way? However as noted, the point of curation is that the article gets scrutinized in some detail, and that should then happen at XfD. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 17:53, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
By means of belated update, I've proposed some changes to Twinkle, basically converting everything (CSD/XfD/PROD/tag) to use the triage action instead of the patrol action, with CSD and PROD off by default and discouraged from use. Should cover all the bases here? ~ Amory <small style="color:#555"> (u • t • c) 15:14, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
* Will it then still be possible to keep a CSD/PROD log from PageTriage (since that is the only surefire way for non-sysops to record their deletion taggings)? As far as I know, those are directly linked to the Twinkle modules, and I'm not aware of anything similar in the triage. If not, I'd recommend ensuring this functionality is not lost before deprecating the Twinkle modules. ComplexRational (talk) 16:37, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
* Sorry, I'm afraid I'm not really understanding your question. Are you asking if this will affect Twinkle's logging of CSD/PROD nominations? No, not all, no change there. Are you asking if this will affect something else logging CSD/PROD nominations made from the PageTriage extension? This isn't being done AFAIK (as above, MA was going to work on it) but there should be no affect on that ability. No modules are being deprecated, just that page.patrol will be page.triage. There should be no visible changes except that pages will be curated/triaged/reviewed/whatever-verb-of-choiced instead of patrolled, thus removed from NewPagesFeed and NewPages. ~ Amory <small style="color:#555"> (u • t • c) 17:59, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
* I apologize for any misunderstanding. Because you mentioned with CSD and PROD off by default and discouraged from use (which I assumed was a recommendation to reviewers after this proposed fix, not a complete deprecation but rather using a revamped CSD/PROD functionality in triage), I was wondering if there would be an alternative means (if necessary) to continue logging. If it's merely a code change, and it is not recommended that we do not use Twinkle, there's no cause for concern. ComplexRational (talk) 18:52, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
* Oh I see, sorry. What I meant was, within Twinkle, the invisible patrolling/triaging being done in CSD and PROD will be off by default. Basically, Twinkle does not mark speedy or proded pages patrolled/triaged by default; it does for XfD. No changes to anything that isn't Twinkle. ~ Amory <small style="color:#555"> (u • t • c) 10:03, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

East Humboldt Range
The East Humboldt Range is a mountain range in Elko County, Nevada, United States. It is located along the eastern edge of the upper watershed of the Humboldt River, which flows to the southwest from its source just north of the range. The range reaches a maximum elevation of 11306 ft atop Hole in the Mountain Peak. Most of the range is included within the Ruby Mountains Ranger District of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. In 1989, the United States Congress passed the Nevada Wilderness Protection Act establishing over 36000 acre of the range as the East Humboldt Wilderness. The range takes its name from the Humboldt River. The name ultimately is derived from the German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt.
The East Humboldts run north-to-south for approximately 30 mi. To the north are Interstate 80 and the community of Wells, while to the south are Secret Pass, the larger Ruby Range, and Ruby Valley. To the east are Clover Valley and U.S. Route 93, and to the west are Starr Valley and Dennis Flats.
These mountains were formed by a tilted fault-block process, with gradual slopes and valleys to the west and a steep escarpment to the east. Both sides of the range show extensive evidence of glaciation during recent ice ages, including U-shaped canyons, moraines, and steeply carved granite mountains, cliffs, and cirques. All of these features can be seen from the 12 mi paved road from Wells to scenic Angel Lake.
The range begins with a dramatic rise from a point near the source of the Humboldt River and the community of Wells, at an elevation of 5650 ft, to the summit of Greys Peak at 10674 ft. From there, the range continues south for nearly 10 mi as a high crest, staying mostly above 10000 ft. The center section of this crest includes the range high point, Hole in the Mountain Peak. The southernmost high summit of the range is Humboldt Peak (11020 ft), after which the main crest begins a gradual descent, forming the northeastern slopes of Secret Pass and the eastern side of North Ruby Valley.
The range includes many glacial tarns, including Angel Lake, Smith Lake, Greys Lake, and Winchell Lake to the north, and Lizzie's Basin, Boulder Lakes, and Steele Lake in the central section.
Hiking trails run from Secret Pass up the western side of the range all the way around to Angel Lake, from Angel Lake to nearby Smith Lake, and from a trailhead near Angel Lake down the east side of the range to Winchell Lake and Lizzie's Basin. Public access is principally found at Angel Lake, a trailhead at the west end of Secret Pass, and via a primitive road at Weeks Canyon/Lizzie's Basin. | WIKI |

Just about every piece of medical advice, whether it’s on the Internet or in a magazine, makes the same statement about hives, severe rashes and other skin ailments. If the skin breaks out in this manner and there are no other serious effects, you can often treat the condition yourself by keeping the area clean and using ointments or creams.
If the hives last a week or longer, however, it may be time to seek some medical assistance. An in every case, doctors strongly urge that a person who breaks out with hives then experiences swelling in the mouth should get medical help immediately.
What are hives? They are bumps or patches that have a strong red color. The raised areas or bumps occur because a chemical called histamine works under the skin to draw the fluids out of small blood vessels. This fluid gathers and causes the raised area. The name comes from the itching or “buzzing” sensation. People report that hives feel like there are bees under the skin.
Histamine triggers “the inflammatory response” to foreign substances that might be harmful to the body. According to Wikipedia, “Histamine increases the permeability of the capillaries to white blood cells and other proteins, in order to allow them to engage foreign invaders in the affected tissues.”
Hives can be caused by a number of things. Some people get hives when they eat certain foods. Some people report that strawberries and raspberries seem to be the culprit. Others get hives from items that touch their skin, such as certain brands of perfume, deodorant etc. People may also react this way with specific medications or in the presence of a particular fungus.
When a person experiences intense anxiety or a panic attack they sometimes report a general “itchy” feeling. When we are stressed or become very anxious, the body produces more adrenaline and other chemicals. When these are present in excess they may result in hives or another skin rash. In fact, some doctors report that prolonged stress may lead t
o hives that continue for days or weeks. Severe anxiety may produce the same result. It seems the body is reacting to an unusual situation by producing unusual amounts of certain chemicals.
While most of the changes during a panic attack take place internally – increased heart rate, nausea, muscle tension etc. – hives are a very obvious, external symptom. This occurs because we have a large area of skin that is very sensitive. Human bodies are made in such a way that the more sensitive areas often show the most extreme evidence of a chemical or physical change.
What can a person do immediately when the skin breaks out in this way? Doctors recommend a cool shower. Keep in mind that heat is one of the factors that causes hives and other rashes on the skin. Hot water will only intensify the itchiness and discomfort. If hives are a regular result when you have a panic attack (or when you experience stress) a visit to your doctor may be necessary.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the "Vegetable Ink Printing Act of 1994". SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. (a) FINDINGS.— The Congress finds the following: (1) More than 95 percent of Federal printing involving documents or publications is performed using lithographic inks. (2) Various types of oil, including petroleum and vegetable oil, are used in lithographic ink. (3) Increasing the amount of vegetable oil used in a lithographic ink would— (A) help reduce the Nation's use of nonrenewable energy resources; (B) result in the use of products that are less damaging to the environment; (C) result in a reduction of volatile organic compotmd emissions; and (D) increase the use of renewable agricultural products. (4) The technology exists to use vegetable oil in lithographic ink and, in some applications, to use lithographic ink that uses no petroleum distillates in the liquid portion of the ink. (5) Some lithographic inks have contained vegetable oils for many years; other lithographic inks have more recently begun to use vegetable oil. (6) According to the Government Printing Office, using vegetable oil-based ink appears to add httle if any additional cost to Government printing. (7) Use of vegetable oil-based ink in Federal Government printing should further develop— (A) the commercial viability of vegetable oil-based ink, which could result in demand, for domestic use alone, for 2,500,000,000 pounds of vegetable crops or 500,000,000 pounds of vegetable oil; and (B) a product that could help the United States retain or enlarge its share of the world market for vegetable oil-ink.

SR-71 Blackbird crews' reunion aims for new generation
Warner Robins, Georgia (CNN)Once upon a time there was a "magic airplane" that protected the world from harm by flying faster than a speeding bullet and soaring higher than the highest mountain. But this is no fairy tale. "Once upon a time," was really from 1964 to 1999. And the aircraft was a U.S. Air Force spy plane called the SR-71. Forty years ago, in 1976, the Lockheed jet nicknamed the Blackbird broke the world absolute speed record -- flying 2,193 mph -- literally faster than a bullet. That's three times the speed of sound. "This is a magic airplane," said the pilot who broke the record, retired Maj. Gen. Eldon "Al" Joersz. "You have this very powerful, exotic machine at your control that you're trying to dance with -- to make music with. Because that's what she wants from you. She wants to fly smooth and nice." Incredibly, the record still stands. No manned airplane with an air-breathing engine has ever flown faster. Officially. (Wink) As many Blackbird aficionados know, the SR-71 was the first stealth aircraft, with a special shape and exterior coating designed to evade radar detection. It was unmatched in its ability to use speed and extreme altitude -- 16 miles high -- to capture photographs and other kinds of intelligence that helped keep the Cold War from heating up. 'Keeping history alive' On Saturday, the Blackbird family, as you might call them, held a kind of reunion at the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins, Georgia, about 20 miles south of Macon. Fourteen former crew members, including pilots, reconnaissance systems officers, technicians and others traveled from across the nation to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the record breaking flight. But they also came to send a message about the future. "It's about keeping history alive," said Cheryl Burns, spouse of former Blackbird crew chief Dave Burns. The idea is to use the Blackbird "to try and promote future generations, to spark their interest so they can continue and reach higher." The museum invited families and especially kids to come meet the former Blackbird crew members and maybe get interested in the technology by building models of the planes they can take home. "We're targeting fourth through eighth grade -- we think that's the sweet spot," said former Blackbird pilot Buz Carpenter, who flew from 1975 to 1981. "If you can get kids at that age excited about doing something in aviation or space or teaching or technology ... once they get beyond that age it's really difficult." Carpenter and the other members of the Blackbird family hope activities like this will plant the seed that will result in the incredible technology of the next generation, whatever that may be. The fastest jet crew in the world The plane that set the record lives at this museum, next door to Robins Air Force Base. On the anniversary Thursday, Joersz and former reconnaissance systems officer, retired Lt. Col. George "GT" Morgan, sat in the cockpit again for the first time in four decades. "It was enjoyable to get back in the airplane and refresh your memory where some of the stuff was," said Joersz. But he noticed that everything wasn't exactly the same. Forty years ago "the airplanes were so nice [with] leather seats and you're in a pressure suit ... and everything was so well put together... but here... it's a beautiful old airplane but it's got some gauges missing and there's no soft, cushiony seat, so you kind of say 'It's too bad that we're not keeping this just the way it was back then,'" Joersz said. "We were not the only ones who could fly this fast or who could go this high," Morgan said. "We happened to be at the right place at the right time." The Blackbird family "It's beautiful. It's mysterious. It's awesome. It's powerful. It's timeless," said former Air Force Lt. Carolyn Rosenberg, describing the Blackbird. That's high praise for a jet designed in the 1950s. She used to watch them fly at March Air Force Base, before she met Maury Rosenberg, her future spouse. "The men that worked on the ground and who flew the plane were the cream of the crop," she said. Turns out Maury was one of those guys. He flew those beautiful, mysterious, awesome SR-71s. After piloting Blackbirds from 1973-1978 and from 1981-1984, Maury decided to move to slower airplanes and fly for United Airlines. "This experience has left an imprint on our lives -- all of us," he said. "Every aspect of our lives -- even whatever we went on to after the Air Force." Just about everyone said they came to rely on the other teams to do their jobs with precision and perfect timing. For example, when each Blackbird would return from a surveillance flight, former electronic warfare systems technician Michael Hull remembers how ground crews sprung into action. "As soon as they pulled in the hangar and shut off the engines, it was just like a beehive: Maintenance guys drop the doors down, pull the mission tapes out, dropping the cameras out, wheeling them right into shops, pull the film out ... and the data would go right into the intel vans and be processed immediately. It was just an amazing operation." The secrecy of working in the Blackbird program required personal sacrifice, like long separations from family without being able to tell them where they were or what they were doing. Dave Burns, the ex-crew chief, remembered when he was stationed at the SR-71 base in Japan and he broke the rules to use the jet's high frequency radio to contact a ham operator in Nebraska. The ham operator kindly patched Burns into a land line so he could call his mom, just to tell her he loved her and he was OK. What's next Although it's amazing the record has lasted this long, there's no doubt "someone is going to go faster and take the record," Joersz said. "In the meantime we're happy to be the representatives that represent the speed that this airplane was able to achieve." "The technology is there to go faster," he said. Lockheed Martin and other aerospace companies are developing a number of supersonic and hypersonic programs. Could hypersonic engines be useful in powering a manned surveillance aircraft? Maybe, said Carpenter. Unlike satellites, an aircraft's movements aren't predictable, obviously. A hypersonic aircraft, meaning an object flying at least five times the speed of sound, flies across hostile airspace and gather intelligence so quickly and unpredictably that it would be out of range before adversaries on the ground could pose a threat. "A hypersonic vehicle could be a deep penetrator and could provide that unknown time when it would penetrate," Carpenter said. And how cool would it be if some of the people who eventually develop that new technology were inspired to pursue engineering by an amazing 1960s-era jet called the Blackbird? | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Read a file and generate a list of lists using list comprehensions
Question:
I’d like to read a file with the following input:
10
20
30
50
60
70
80
90
100
and generate the following output:
[['10', '20', '30'], ['50','60','70'] ... ]
using list comprehensions and not foor loops. Naturally the problem I’m facing is creating the nested list when a n character is detected. Of course ‘disclaimer’ the code would probably be more readable with for loops!
with open('file.txt', 'r') as f:
result = [line.strip() for line in f.readlines() if line != 'n']
print(result)
//
['10', '20', '30', '50', '60', '70']
// not correct
Asked By: George Katsanos
||
Answers:
Here is a solution using split (so, different from the solutions you are exploring with comprehensions).
with open('file.txt', 'r') as f:
result = [s.split("n") for s in f.read().split("nn")]
print(result)
This other approach uses the functional-programming tools, comprehension and groupby, and so is more in the spirit of what you asked for.
from itertools import groupby
with open('file.txt', 'r') as f:
result = [[s.strip() for s in group] for key, group in groupby(f, lambda x: x == "n") if not key]
print(result)

1965 Laotian parliamentary election
Parliamentary elections were held in Laos on 18 July 1965 to elect members of the National Assembly, the lower chamber of Parliament. The elections were boycotted by the Lao Patriotic Front, and saw the Southern Bloc emerge as the largest party with 15 of the 59 seats. However, only 22,000 citizens were allowed to vote, with the franchise restricted to politicians, civil servants, army officers, police and local government officers. | WIKI |
RoleSearchRequest document (Data API 19.10)
Document representing an role search. Note that only either an user ID or a permission can be provided (or none), but not both. When one of them is provided, the further query elements will filter the respective role set (meaning the user ID / permission is AND-connected to the query definition). When a permission definition is using a site scope, it can contain only one site. When optional fields in the permission definitions are not provided, they will be treated as 'don't care' (so its e.g. possible so search for permission to site-specific BM modules without providing a site, and the search will return all roles having that permission for any site).
Property Type Constraints Description
count Integer maxIntegerValue=200, minIntegerValue=1 The number of returned documents
db_start_record_ Integer minIntegerValue=0 The zero-based index of the record that we want to start with, used to optimize special handling
expand [String] List of expansions to be applied to each search results. Expands are optional
permissions RolePermissions The permission to search for. Note that even though this is a container that can hold multiple permissions definitions, for a search request only one permission can be provided (otherwise an error will be returned).
query Query {BoolQuery, FilteredQuery, MatchAllQuery, NestedQuery, TermQuery, TextQuery} mandatory=true, nullable=false The query to apply
select String The field to be selected.

Brazil regulator seeks comment on fuel price change frequency
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazilian oil regulator ANP said on Tuesday it would seek public comment over a period of several weeks on a potential rule that could set limits on how often fuel prices change in the country. The comment period, which will take place from June 11 to July 2, follows a nationwide trucker strike over diesel price hikes last month that paralyzed much of Latin America’s biggest economy. In an emailed statement, ANP said the process was aimed at soliciting suggestions about a rule that would create a “minimum period” for changing fuel prices. It was not clear whether the regulator had the power to restrict the frequency of fuel price changes by state-controlled oil producer Petroleo Brasileiro SA, known as Petrobras. The company had adopted a policy of nearly daily adjustments under its former chief executive, pricing changes in alignment with international markets. In a statement to Reuters, Petrobras said it would join the discussions by the regulator. The company said “price formation based on market prices and more predictability” may increase competition. Suggestions about a new fuel pricing policy may be sent by consumers, oil companies and state entities, ANP said. President Michel Temer ended the trucker protest by agreeing to cut diesel prices and change the frequency of price adjustments, wiping out a third of the market cap of Petrobras over fears of growing political interference. Public anger has also been building over gasoline prices, which have also recently risen and were not addressed by the agreement with the truckers.

Dow futures fall 109 points as North Korea jitters return to haunt Wall Street
U.S. stock index futures pointed to a sharply lower open on Tuesday, as geopolitical concerns surrounding North Korea and the West were amplified, following news that a missile had passed over Japan. Dow Jones industrial average fell 109 points, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures declined 13.25 points and 46.25 points, respectively. In recent weeks, concerns around North Korea have subsided as tensions appeared to have eased between the country and the West. On Tuesday however, Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told reporters that a ballistic missile which was fired by North Korea had passed over Japan. Abe has since stated that the missile posed a grave threat to the country of Japan, and that he would ask the United Nations to ramp up the pressure on Pyongyang. Markets worldwide showed signs of nervousness, with investors turning to safe-haven assets. Markets in Asia and Europe fell into the red on the back of the geopolitical news. Aside from North Korea, domestic politics will be of key importance as President Donald Trump heads to Texas on Tuesday amidst the flooding that is causing chaos in Houston. Investors will also be looking for how the U.S. incumbent will respond to recent reports about his presidency and how he will handle North Korea. Investors in the U.S. are likely to keeping note of how much of an impact Hurricane Harvey will have on the energy sector, as well as other businesses such as insurance, after several businesses and refineries had to temporarily shut due to the natural disaster. In early morning trade however, oil prices fluctuated between gains and losses, supported by reports of supply disruptions in Colombia and Libya. At 8:31 a.m. ET, U.S. crude was slightly up at around $46.65 per barrel, while Brent was lasting standing around $51.97. In data news, the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Home Price Index is due out at 9 a.m. ET, followed by consumer confidence and the Dallas Fed's Texas Service Sector Outlook Survey, set to come out at 10 a.m. ET and 10:30 a.m. ET respectively. —CNBC's Christine Wang contributed to this report.

-- FTC Chairman Will Decide Whether to Leave After Election
U.S. Federal Trade Commission
Chairman Jonathan Leibowitz, who has served at the agency for
eight years, said he will decide whether to leave his post after
the Nov. 6 election. Leibowitz, 54, said he would quit the FTC if Republican
candidate Mitt Romney wins because the president “deserves to
have three commissioners from his own party, a tradition at the
agency.” In an interview for Bloomberg Television’s “Capitol
Gains” set to air Oct. 28, and after the taping, Leibowitz
noted he has spent 20 of the past 25 years in government. He has told people privately that for personal reasons he
intends to leave the agency sometime after the election,
according to a person familiar with his intentions. Still, he said in yesterday’s interview, he has no
immediate plans for a departure. Named FTC chairman in 2009 by President Barack Obama ,
Leibowitz, a Democrat, was reconfirmed for a second seven-year
term at the bi-partisan agency in March. By law, the president
names one commissioner chairman and no more than three of the
five can belong to the same party. Obama last month appointed Joshua Wright, a Republican law
professor at George Mason University , to replace Republican Tom Rosch, who said he won’t seek another term. Maureen Olhausen,
another Republican, was confirmed in April. Google Probe As Leibowitz deliberates his future, the FTC is deciding
whether to sue Google Inc. (GOOG) for abusing its dominant position in
Internet search in violation of antitrust laws. The agency has
been investigating the operator of the world’s most popular
search engine since April 2011. Earlier this month, FTC investigators circulated an
internal draft memo that recommends suing Mountain View ,
California-based Google for stifling competition in the Internet
search market, people familiar with the matter said on Oct. 13. Leibowitz yesterday declined to say whether he’d accept the
staff’s recommendation. He said he expects to resolve the
investigation by the end of the year or “possibly sooner.” When asked whether the commission is open to settlement
discussions with Google, Leibowitz said, “We would always
prefer resolution to litigation, but we haven’t decided what we
are going to do.” On the merger front, the FTC is reviewing Hertz Global
Holdings Inc. (HTZ) ’s $2.6 billion bid to buy Dollar Thrifty
Automotive Group Inc. (DTG) , which includes the sale of its Advantage
brand. The transaction is meeting resistance from some at the
commission over concerns the deal will crimp competition in the
market for rental cars and hurt consumers, people familiar with
the matter said yesterday. Leibowitz declined to comment on the agency’s review. Standard Patents The FTC is also taking a stand on how companies use patents
for industry-standard technology, which help ensure that
different manufacturers’ products, such as mobile-phone antennas
and global-positioning system software, work together. Companies with this technology pledge to license patents
for those inventions on reasonable terms. “This is a very big issue for competition in the
marketplace,” Leibowitz said. “When a company spends billions
of dollars to buy expensive patent portfolios to use in
litigation, we all admit this is wasteful and isn’t going to
productive uses.” Honoring Pledges The FTC is investigating whether Google’s Motorola Mobility
unit is honoring pledges it made to license industry-standard
technology for mobile and other devices on fair terms, people
familiar with the matter said in June. The patents involve
wireless and video technology for mobile devices. Google’s bid to block imports of Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) ’s Xbox
gaming system and Apple Inc. (AAPL) ’s iPhone based on patents owned
Motorola Mobility unit may hurt competition, the FTC said in a
June filing with the U.S. International Trade Commission in
Washington , which is charged with protecting U.S. markets from
unfair trade practices. The FTC recommended limits on the use of patents related to
industry standards to block imports. Motorola Mobility is using
standard-essential patents in cases against Microsoft and Apple. To contact the reporters on this story:

WebRoots Democracy
WebRoots Democracy was a London-based think tank focused on progressive and inclusive technology policy. It was founded in May 2014 and closed in November 2020.
Research and publications
WebRoots Democracy has five main areas of focus: online voting; e-petitions; voter advice applications; social media regulation; and monitoring the recommendations of the Speaker's Commission on Digital Democracy. It has an Advisory Council consisting of experts from across the technology industry, academia, civil society, and politics which provides ideas and guidance over the research it undertakes.
Published in March 2015, Viral Voting: Future-proofing UK elections with an #onlinevoting option examined the benefits of online voting, the challenges faced for its implementation, and its estimated impact on voter turnout and elections. The report estimated that online voting could boost voter turnout by up to 9 million, reduce the cost-per-vote by a third, and enable voters with vision impairments to cast a secret ballot. It contains forewords by the MPs Graham Allen and Chloe Smith, as well as the General Secretary of the Trades Union Congress, Frances O'Grady.
Viral Voting was cited in a House of Commons debate on the EU Referendum Bill by Labour MP, John McDonnell. It is also cited in a Salford University research paper on trade union strike ballots.
In January 2016, Secure Voting: A guide to secure #onlinevoting in elections was published. This report focused on the key security challenges for the implementation of online voting and methods to overcome them. The report called for online voting to be introduced by the 2020 UK General Election. It contained forewords from MPs across the political spectrum: Chloe Smith, Graham Allen, Tom Brake, and Hannah Bardell. In addition, it contains a foreword by the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow.
Secure Voting was cited widely during the parliamentary debates on the 2016 Trade Union Bill. It was also cited in a debate in the State Assembly of Jersey and in a feasibility study on internet voting by the Electoral Commission of Moldova.
To coincide with the two year anniversary of the Speaker's Commission on Digital Democracy, in January 2017, Democracy 2.0: Hitting refresh on the Digital Democracy Commission was published. It sets out a number of recommendations including the creation of a Government 'Digital Democracy Czar' and the introduction of mandatory political education in schools to help tackle challenges such as 'fake news'. It contains forewords by Emma Mulqueeny OBE and Cat Smith MP.
Opinion polls
WebRoots Democracy has commissioned three YouGov polls related to online voting. The first two found majority support for online voting to be implemented as an option in the 2016 London Mayoral Election and the 2016 EU Referendum. The two leading candidates for London Mayor, Sadiq Khan and Zac Goldsmith, subsequently backed the campaign for online voting. Sadiq Khan had previously written about his support for online voting in a blogpost on the WebRoots Democracy website saying it was "time to drag our democracy into the 21st century."
The third poll was related to the 2016 EU Referendum. This poll found that there would have been an extra 1.2 million young voters had there been an option to vote online in the referendum.
Advisory Council
The think tank has a 20 member Advisory Council consisting of experts from across the tech industry and civil society. Members include the television broadcasters Rick Edwards and Amy Lamé, technologists Emma Mulqueeny and Helen Milner, and the academics Dr Peter Kerr and Professor Mark Ryan.
Political Ambassadors
WebRoots Democracy has a group of cross-party 'Political Ambassadors' to champion the think-tank's digital democracy cause. They are:
* Matt Warman MP (Conservatives)
* Darren Jones MP (Labour)
* Hannah Bardell MP (SNP)
* Tom Brake MP (Liberal Democrats)
* Caroline Lucas MP (Green)
* Liz Saville Roberts MP (Plaid Cymru)
* Lord Jim Knight (Labour)

'We're in a bear market in confidence,' Jeffrey Gundlach says
Markets are having trust issues, DoubleLine Capital CEO Jeffrey Gundlach said Friday. "What I think is happening … is there is a bear market in confidence in market manipulators, central bankers and politicians broadly," Gundlach told CNBC's "Power Lunch. " "And I think there's a bear market in confidence in planning. That's why I've been long gold and gold miners all year." Several central banks, including the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan, have recently tried to jump-start their economies by implementing creative monetary policies, such as negative interest rates, but have failed to do so. Year to date, most major European stock indexes were down at least 10 percent, while Japan's Nikkei 225 has shed 21.4 percent. "Gold is a play in a bear market in confidence," Gundlach said. The VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF has gained nearly 100 percent this year. On Friday, financial markets were sent on a roller-coaster ride after the United Kingdom voted in favor of leaving the European Union. U.S. stocks fell more than 3 percent across the board with the Dow Jones industrial average falling more than 600 points. European equities fell about 7 percent. Treasurys surged, with the benchmark 10-year Treasury notes rallying to yield 1.577 percent Friday. It closed the previous trading session at 1.74 percent. Investors had widely expected the U.K. to vote in favor of remain, and were caught off guard when the final results came through. "I think that this vote corroborates the anti-establishment sentiment that's out there; it's probably incrementally positive for Donald Trump's wind in the sail. I think this is a capital preservation market, " Gundlach also said. "People, they want change." "In Britain, they were never really in the [EU] ever; they never adopted the euro currency," he said. "When you think about it, it's no surprise to see they were the first to give it up." | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Despite what many people think, infertility is not largely a female problem. Male infertility is a problem concerning many men across the globe. In fact, it is a factor in 30%-50% of infertility cases, making male factor infertility a very common contributing cause of infertility. This is why Team Miracle recommend a simple semen analysis as one of the first tests an infertile couple should do. Besides being inexpensive, semen analysis also yields valuable information that can help the fertility expert evaluate the case better and suggest a proper course of action.
That said, the good news is that male infertility is no longer an unsolved riddle. With the advancements in reproductive medicine, male infertility can be treated in the majority of cases with impressive results at the Cyprus IVF Centre.
Causes of Male Factor Infertility
A man could have male factor infertility due to a number of reasons, such as:
Structural Abnormalities (of the reproductive tract) – These consist of obstructions that block (either partially or completely) the flow of sperm and/or seminal fluid. They may be congenital (present at birth), be the result of a previous surgery or have occurred after an infection of the urogenital tract.
Inhibited Sperm Production – This occurs due to a previous vasectomy that has damaged the nerves that innervate the male reproductive tract and testicle, varicocele (veins inside the scrotum are enlarged) or sperm production issues.
Ejaculatory Disturbances – These do not allow the sperm to reach the female and include impotence (Erectile Dysfunction) and Retrograde Ejaculation (the semen enters the bladder rather than going out through the urethra).
Finally, the man with male factor infertility could have immunologic disorders, such as endocrine disorders, DNA fragmentation or antisperm antibodies that prevent the sperm from successfully penetrating the woman’s egg in her genital tract.
Treatment of Male Factor Infertility
(i) The Tests
Phase one involves a comprehensive semen analysis where Team Miracle experts evaluate the semen to determine the concentration, motility and morphology of sperm. According to results, we may ask for an additional evaluation of the male partner. For example, if the concentration of the sperm is very low, Team Miracle may require a genetic and hormonal evaluation of the patient, including total testosterone level, FSH, TSH, and LH to determine whether the problem lies in the signals the brain sends to the testicle to manufacture sperm or not. To exclude genetic abnormality, we may also do a blood karyotype test (chromosome analysis) to see if the lack of sperm manufacturing is caused by a genetic abnormality or DNA fragmentation test. If these tests do not show an indication of any problem, we will consider obstruction and follow a different course of action.
(ii) Available Treatments
Phase two involves deciding which treatment is most suitable for the male factor infertility issue. Dr Firdevs will advise on the best course of action.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
ICSI is the best option for men with motility issues. In normal conception, sperm must travel from the female’s vagina and make their way to the fallopian tube where the egg will be waiting for fertilisation. Contrary to popular belief, there is only a window of approximately 12 hours for successful fertilisation to occur so, even if intercourse is timed perfectly, sperm with poor motility, will never make it to the egg in time. In ICSI, we inject a single sperm directly into the egg to fertilise it. This means that even an immotile sperm can be used for fertilisation. To select the best sperm, our expert embryologists analyse the sample under the microscope and choose the sperm with the best appearance. After the injection of the sperm, the egg is then placed in a lab dish and kept in the safe environment of an incubator, where the temperature is controlled, so that the fertilisation can occur. About 3=5 days after the collection of the egg, the embryo is transferred into the mother’s uterus.
This method has already brought lots of success even to men with the severest degrees of male infertility, considering the impressively high success pregnancy rates. We only need a single sperm to fertilise each egg, which makes motility no longer a factor in fertilisation with ICSI.
Intracytoplasmic Morphologically-Selected Sperm Injection (IMSI)
Sperm quality disorders range from low motility or count to a total absence of sperm production. As for the sperm’s morphology (shape of the sperm cell), it is a very important factor that reflects the sperm’s ability to fertilise the egg. Abnormal sperm will struggle to fertilise the egg or may create an abnormal embryo leading to miscarriage. For men with a very low normal morphology (<4%) there is high chance of fertilisation failure, so we need more specialised treatments, such as IMSI.
During the IMSI process, sperm samples are analysed by our Clinical Embryologist using a high powered microscope which is close to 6000 times more powerful than the normal ICSI microscopes.
The IMSI technique enables the Team Miracle embryologists to select the very best quality sperm from the sample provided to inject into each egg, thereby increasing the fertilisation rate, the success of implantation and, more importantly, the live birth rate.
TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction)
TESE is an excellent option that can both diagnose and treat severe cases, especially of men that have had a vasectomy or a failed reversed vasectomy. The Team Miracle urologist will biopsy the testicle to extract sperm cells from the testicular tissue. The embryologist will then select the best sperm and inject them into the eggs via the ICSI procedure. The 15 minute TESE procedure at the Cyprus IVF Centre is conducted under local anaesthesia and men report feeling little to no discomfort afterwards.
PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration)
During this procedure, we extract fluid from the epididymis (the narrow tube that carries sperm from the testes to the ductus deferens). Then Team Miracle embryologists analyse that fluid and select the best sperm for ICSI. Although this procedure can be done under local or general anaesthesia, we strongly recommend the first which, along with sedation, gives a much faster recovery and minimises potential side effects significantly.
MESA (Micro-epididymal Sperm Aspiration)
If a patient has blocked vas deferens (sperm cannot be conveyed from the testicle to the urethra), then MESA is the premium procedure to use. Sperm is also retrieved directly from the epididymis and used to immediately conduct ICSI by the Team Miracle embryologist at Cyprus IVF Centre to increase fertilisation chances.
In addition to the medical procedures, there are many supplementary extras to help male factor infertility. For example, Team Miracle at Cyprus IVF Centre are the only hospital on the island to offer FertilePlus® sperm selection to patients. You can ask your patient coordinator to explain all the options if you are seeking treatment for male factor infertility.
Team Miracle work continuously towards granting your wish to start a family. At Cyprus IVF Centre, you will not only find cutting edge technologies, leading medical professionals, and state-of-the-art facilities but also friendly people that are by your side from day one and onwards, even after you are holding your baby in your arms! | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
The function knockoff.filter is a wrapper around several simpler functions that
1. Construct knockoff variables (various functions with prefix create)
2. Compute the test statistic \(W\) (various functions with prefix stat)
3. Compute the threshold for variable selection (knockoff.threshold)
These functions may be called directly if desired. The purpose of this vignette is to illustrate the flexibility of this package with some examples.
set.seed(1234)
library(knockoff)
Creating an artificial problem
Let us begin by creating some synthetic data. For simplicity, we will use synthetic data constructed from a generalized linear model such that the response only depends on a small fraction of the variables.
# Problem parameters
n = 1000 # number of observations
p = 1000 # number of variables
k = 60 # number of variables with nonzero coefficients
amplitude = 7.5 # signal amplitude (for noise level = 1)
# Generate the variables from a multivariate normal distribution
mu = rep(0,p)
rho = 0.10
Sigma = toeplitz(rho^(0:(p-1)))
X = matrix(rnorm(n*p),n) %*% chol(Sigma)
# Generate the response from a logistic model and encode it as a factor.
nonzero = sample(p, k)
beta = amplitude * (1:p %in% nonzero) / sqrt(n)
invlogit = function(x) exp(x) / (1+exp(x))
y.sample = function(x) rbinom(n, prob=invlogit(x %*% beta), size=1)
y = factor(y.sample(X), levels=c(0,1), labels=c("A","B"))
Looking inside the knockoff filter
Instead of using knockoff.filter directly, we can run the filter manually by calling its main components one by one.
The first step is to generate the knockoff variables for the true Gaussian distribution of the variables.
X_k = create.gaussian(X, mu, Sigma)
Then, we compute the knockoff statistics using 10-fold cross-validated lasso
W = stat.glmnet_coefdiff(X, X_k, y, nfolds=10, family="binomial")
Now we can compute the rejection threshold
thres = knockoff.threshold(W, fdr=0.2, offset=1)
The final step is to select the variables
selected = which(W >= thres)
print(selected)
## integer(0)
The false discovery proportion is
fdp = function(selected) sum(beta[selected] == 0) / max(1, length(selected))
fdp(selected)
## [1] 0
Performing numerical simulations
We show how to manually run the knockoff filter multiple times and compute average quantities. This is particularly useful to estimate the FDR (or the power) for a particular configuration of the knockoff filter on artificial problems.
# Optimize the parameters needed for generating Gaussian knockoffs,
# by solving an SDP to minimize correlations with the original variables.
# This calculation requires only the model parameters mu and Sigma,
# not the observed variables X. Therefore, there is no reason to perform it
# more than once for our simulation.
diag_s = create.solve_asdp(Sigma)
# Compute the fdp over 20 iterations
nIterations = 20
fdp_list = sapply(1:nIterations, function(it) {
# Run the knockoff filter manually, using the pre-computed value of diag_s
X_k = create.gaussian(X, mu, Sigma, diag_s=diag_s)
W = stat.glmnet_lambdasmax(X, X_k, y, family="binomial")
t = knockoff.threshold(W, fdr=0.2, offset=1)
selected = which(W >= t)
# Compute and store the fdp
fdp(selected)
})
# Estimate the FDR
mean(fdp_list)

xkill
SYNOPSIS
xkill [-display displayname] [-id resource] [-button number] [-frame]
[-all]
DESCRIPTION
Xkill is a utility for forcing the X server to close connections to
clients. This program is very dangerous, but is useful for aborting
programs that have displayed undesired windows on a user's screen. If
no resource identifier is given with -id, xkill will display a special
cursor as a prompt for the user to select a window to be killed. If a
pointer button is pressed over a non-root window, the server will close
its connection to the client that created the window.
OPTIONS
-display displayname
This option specifies the name of the X server to contact.
-id resource
This option specifies the X identifier for the resource whose
creator is to be aborted. If no resource is specified, xkill
will display a special cursor with which you should select a
window to be kill.
-button number
This option specifies the number of pointer button that should
be used in selecting a window to kill. If the word "any" is
specified, any button on the pointer may be used. By default,
the first button in the pointer map (which is usually the left-
most button) is used.
-all This option indicates that all clients with top-level windows
on the screen should be killed. Xkill will ask you to select
the root window with each of the currently defined buttons to
give you several chances to abort. Use of this option is
highly discouraged.
-frame This option indicates that xkill should ignore the standard
conventions for finding top-level client windows (which are
typically nested inside a window manager window), and simply
believe that you want to kill direct children of the root.
CAVEATS
This command does not provide any warranty that the application whose
connection to the X server is closed will abort nicely, or even abort
at all. All this command does is to close the connection to the X
server. Many existing applications do indeed abort when their connec-
tion to the X server is closed, but some can choose to continue.
XDEFAULTS
Button Specifies a specific pointer button number or the word "any" to
use when selecting windows.

LG gets a 5G flagship, making the world’s longest phone name even longer – TechCrunch
For a company with a two letter name, LG loves nothing so much as an unwieldy title. A form of overcompensation, perhaps? Whatever the case, the lengthening of LG phone names is one of this world’s few constants, and as such, it ought to be no surprise that the company’s first 5G handset happily continues the trend as the LG V50 ThinQ 5G. The phone will be available for Verizon and Sprint customers “this summer”. As for price, I’d put that somewhere in the admittedly vague ballpark of “more expensive that a regular LG phone.” The device looks to be pretty premium, sporting a 6.4 inch OLED display, Snapdragon 855 and a beefy 4,000-mAh battery. The company isn’t revealing how 5G will impact battery drain, but it’s pretty safe to say it will take a hit. On the upside, anyone who picks up a 5G phone in 2019 will almost certainly be spending a lot of their time still riding the LTE rails. The phone could eventually be available to additional U.S. carriers. The company also announced an accessory for the LG V50 ThinQ which adds a second screen to the device — tapping (gently) into the ‘foldables’ trend that’s been unfolding ahead of MWC. “The attachable second screen for the V50 is a practical, likely more affordable alternative to folding tablets (yes, they’re really folding tablets),” said Forrester analyst Frank Gillett in a statement. An LG rep demoed the accessory to us on the company’s MWC booth, showing how the dual screen accessory can be used for mobile gaming. In this scenario the phone screen can be used as (a choice) of digital controller. The screen on the accessory is slightly smaller (6.2 inch) than the panel on the LG V50 itself but otherwise much the same. When folded the device appears like a handheld gaming console, with a shiny surface that resembles (but isn’t) yet another screen. There’s no word yet on price nor availability for the dual screen case, including whether or not it will come to the U.S. LG’s rep also wouldn’t show the internal of the case once the phone itself has been popped out so it looks like it’s still in a quasi-prototype stage.

inverted file
(redirected from inverted list)
inverted file
[in′vərd·əd ′fīl]
(computer science)
A file, or method of file organization, in which labels indicating the locations of all documents of a given type are placed in a single record.
A file whose usual order has been inverted.
inverted file
In data management, a file that is indexed on many of the attributes of the data itself. For example, in an employee file, an index could be maintained for all secretaries, another for managers. It is faster to search the indexes than every record. Also known as "inverted lists," inverted file indexes use a lot of disk space; searching is fast, updating is slower.

For each word wi in the query, an inverted list is fetched from the index.
Many other researchers [1], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19] used ontologies, inverted list (different tech.
By clustering d-gaps of an inverted list based on a threshold, and then encoding clustered and non-clustered d-gaps using different methods, we can tailor to the specific properties of different d-gaps and achieve better compression ratio.
Assuming a text collection composed of a large set of documents, an inverted list is basically composed of a table (the vocabulary) that maintains all the relevant words found in the text, and an associated list for every such word that registers all occurrences of the word in the text (document-id and another information used to rank out responses to users queries) [5].
For instance, one inverted list index generated from a customer table might include all the states (AK, AL, AR, etc.
Under QI, for each term x, we collect all the queries that contain it and build an inverted list.
In this article we begin by reviewing the principal techniques for evaluation of ranked queries, including: document-ordered or DO processing (also known as document-at-a-time processing, in which the inverted lists are processed simultaneously); term-ordered or TO processing (also known as term-at-a-time processing, in which each inverted list is processed in sequence); and some of the more successful optimizations to term-ordered query evaluation, in particular skipping or TOS strategies based on limiting the number of candidate documents considered during query evaluation.
An inverted list connects all occurrences of a given token despite its position within a group.
We assume that the index is implemented using an inverted list which, as described in the next section, is composed of a vocabulary (set of terms) and a set of identifiers representing all the documents that contain at least one of the words that are members of the vocabulary.
Since the exact address of the inverted list is then known, a second access suffices to retrieve the corresponding inverted list.
The words in the equivalence class are grouped together by the INQUERY #SYN operator so that at retrieval time INQUERY creates a single inverted list for the equivalence class by merging the inverted lists for the words in the class.

altered in its execution, was entirely successful in its effect, and on the 5th of February, 1757, was fought the last battle of Calcutta, which left the British undisputed masters of their settlement.
When the nawab's army was marching on Calcutta, Clive formed an entrenched camp near Cossipore, about half a mile inland from the river. Here he placed a small force of Europeans and three hundred sepoys, an equal number garrisoned the Fort, the remainder were available for active operations. At three o'clock on the morning of Saturday, the 5th of February, Clive marched his column from the Cossipore camp, in a dense fog such as is common in Calcutta during the cold season. Four hundred sepoys led the way, an equal number brought up the rear, in the middle were six hundred and fifty European infantry and one hundred artillery. A body of six hundred sailors drew the guns, guarded them, and took charge of the lascars who carried the ammunition, and who would otherwise have deserted.
Marching silently through the fog, the leading troops surprised the enemy's outposts, who, after a hurried discharge of matchlocks and rockets, fled in confusion. Unfortunately one of the rockets struck a sepoy, and exploded | WIKI |

Relating force and work to energy transformations
A very fundamental way to think of force is as the active agent through which energy moves. Energy is constantly being transformed from one form to another in every second of our existence. When work is done by a force, that work transfers energy from one object to another or transforms the energy from one form to another. Work is the means through which energy is transformed into and out of mechanical forms, such as potential and kinetic energy. Read the text aloud
Energy changes as a pendulum swingsConsider a pendulum swinging back and forth. The pendulum has both kinetic energy and potential energy. At different points in its motion the energy is all of one form or the other, but the balance continually shifts. When the swinging mass is at the highest point in each swing, the energy is all potential. When the mass is lowest (and moving the fastest) the energy is all kinetic. The energy moves back and forth through the action of the net force, which is a component of the gravitational force. Read the text aloud
In a closed system, if one kind of energy increases in value, then one or more other kinds of energy must decrease by the same amount to keep the total energy constant. Another way to express the law of energy conservation is by using energy changes: The total change in energy for a closed system must equal zero. Read the text aloud
(10.3) ΔE=0
ΔE = change in total energy of system (J)
Energy conservation
alternative formula
For an open system, the energy equation is written as equation (10.4) below, for which ΔW is the work done on the system. Equation (10.4) says that the change in total energy of a system equals the heat added Q plus the work done on the system. Many systems convert some energy into heat through friction. On the next page we will see that many energy technologies, such as a car engine, convert heat into work. This general version of the law of conservation of energy extends the work–energy theorem and is known as the first law of thermodynamics. We will learn more about it on page 1463 in Chapter 25. Read the text aloud
(10.4) ΔE=Q+W
ΔE = change in energy (J)
Q = heat added (J)
W = work done on the system (J)

Git Question
Git/Bash is extremely slow in Windows 7 x64
I've been using Git on both Windows and Ubuntu during the development of a small project, frequently flipping back and forth between the two. The issue I'm having is that Git/Bash consistently become slow. When I say slow, I mean that running
cd
takes anywhere from 8-25 seconds, running
git
commands take from 5-20 seconds, and
ls
can take up to 30 seconds sometimes. Needless to say, this is not fun, not to mention unproductive. I know Git is slower on Windows, but this is ridiculous.
The one solution which has worked--temporarily--for me has been to disable my network connection (as suggested in this answer), start git, and then reconnect. Sometimes it continues to run quickly for days after doing that, but the performance always degrades eventually. I've trawled through the msysgit discussion group, SO, msysgit issue list, etc. on and off for weeks, but I haven't been able to turn up solutions which work.
So far, I've tried:
• Adding git & project folders to virus scanner's exclusion list
• Disabling my virus scanner completely (Kaspersky IS 2011)
• Ensuring that Outlook is not running (Outlook 2007)
• Shutting down all other applications
• Running git as administrator
• Disabling network connection, starting git, and keeping connection disabled
• Disabling network connection, starting git, re-enabling connection (works only occasionally)
• Running git gc
• And combinations of the above
I did read that a couple people had success disabling bash completion, but ideally I'd like to keep that active. The version of msysgit is 1.7.3.1-preview20101002 & the OS is Windows 7 x64. Running the same things on Linux is, predictably, lightning fast. I would use Linux exclusively, but I need to run stuff in Windows, too (certain apps, testing, etc.).
Has anyone encountered a similar issue? If so, what was the underlying problem and what was the solution (if any)?
Edit: This extends beyond just the git repositories, but just for reference, the repos I've been using git with have been pretty small: ~4-50 files max.
Answer
It appears that completely uninstalling Git, restarting (the classic Windows cure), and reinstalling Git was the cure. I also wiped out all bash config files which were left over (they were manually created). Everything is fast again.
If for some reason reinstalling isn't possible (or desirable), then I would definitely try changing the PS1 variable referenced in Chris Dolan's answer; it resulted in significant speedups in certain operations. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Lobbyist for only national wine trade group steps down
Wine has lost a champion in Washington. When the effects of this recession on the wine industry are counted up, we will know how many wineries closed or were sold, how many vineyard acres were torn out, maybe even how many $50 wines dropped to $30. One effect, however, will be difficult to quantify: the loss of Bill Nelson as president of Wine America. Wine America is the only national trade association of the wine industry. (The better-known Wine Institute represents only California's wineries. Although California produces 90 percent of the nation's wine, much of the industry's growth in the past decade has been in the other 49 states.) Nelson announced last month that he would be leaving Wine America on July 30. Organization insiders said he fell on his sword to protect the jobs of the three staffers in the Washington office. No replacement has been named, and whether the organization will maintain a Washington presence is yet to be determined. One thing people don't feel obligated to pay when times get tough is membership dues to trade associations, Nelson said in an interview at the Wine America offices on 18th Street Northwest. He came to Washington in 1994, when the organization was called the American Vintners Association and had about 400 members, as its vice president. Membership peaked at about 800 but, amid the ailing economy, has dropped to about 650. Nelson, 67, was philosophical about his departure yet pointed in listing his accomplishments. As Wine America's president since 2005 and its vice president for 11 years before that, he fought the typical battles of a Washington lobbyist, making sure his members' interests were represented in appropriations and farm bills, and were protected from hostile legislation pushed by anti-alcohol lobbies or wholesalers. As he looked back on his tenure, he sounded like someone who is not yet ready to leave the battlefield. I was the prime mover in the expansion of federal funding support for enological and viticultural research, Nelson said. That effort included establishing a viticulture consortium of 16 states to distribute and share research funding, and the expansion of the Agriculture Department's own research program from two scientists working mostly on table grapes to more than two dozen working on all aspects of viticulture. Under Nelson, Wine America also helped secure $50 million in annual funding in the 2007 farm bill for researching specialty crops, which he defined as things that are not grains or cotton. It also helped establish a national clean-plant network that works to ensure that clonal propagated plants are free of disease. Not all of Nelson's attention was focused on Washington. We have helped state wine associations get established and coached them through modernizing state regulations that usually date back to Repeal, he said. Many state regulations were ill-suited for a growing wine industry. Nelson is leaving town with some issues unresolved. Wine America has opposed proposals now before federal regulators that would require ingredient and nutritional labeling for wines, which he said would place an enormous burden on smaller wineries. One thing that makes wine unique is that you have thousands of producers making tens of thousands of products that change every year, Nelson said. It's not Twinkies. Even beer and spirits are reasonably consistent, but wine is always different. The big battle still being waged is over the right of wineries to ship their products directly to consumers. The high point of Nelson's career with Wine America came in 2005, when the Supreme Court struck down laws in New York and Michigan that discriminated against out-of-state wineries by banning direct shipping across state lines. I was instrumental in developing the argument that wineries needed direct shipping, he said. Say you have a small winery somewhere, and five or 10 people in the Washington area like your wine. No distributor will carry it, no one will stock it, but if you could ship a case or two to each of them, and to another 10 in Chicago or Boston, that's a significant chunk of business for a small winery. The fight for direct shipping is not over yet. Nelson's last weeks in the capital were spent fighting the Comprehensive Alcohol Regulatory Effectiveness Act, a wholesaler-inspired bill that would effectively overturn the Supreme Court ruling. That's why wineries need a voice here in Washington, Nelson said. They're not going to be able to protect themselves based on campaign contributions, like the wholesalers. For now however, by their own choice and the vicissitudes of a harsh economy, the wineries' voice has been quieted. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
New Hyde Park, New York 11040
Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to maintain a comprehensive registry of patients with the rare inherited bone marrow failure syndrome Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA).
Study summary:
BACKGROUND: Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a heterogeneous genetic disorder characterized by pure red cell aplasia, congenital anomalies, a predisposition to pancytopenia and myelodysplasia as well as hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cancer. Anemia usually presents in infancy or early childhood and greater than 40% of patients have at least one congenital anomaly. The actuarial cancer risk is, as of yet, undetermined. One DBA gene has been cloned and the existence of at least two other DBA genes has been inferred by linkage analysis. Penetrance and expressivity of DBA genes are highly variable. "Affected" individuals within the same family may vary dramatically as to the degree of anemia, response to corticosteroids, the presence of congenital anomalies and the development of cancer. Despite improvements in understanding of this disorder there are significant deficiencies in knowledge that inhibit the exploitation of this syndrome to increase both specific and general knowledge of mechanisms of hematopoietic failure, birth defects and cancer predisposition. Furthermore this disease will, in the near future, provide a valuable platform to study complex gene interactions. There are less than 1000 individuals in the United States and Canada estimated to have DBA, representing at least 11 genotypes. Thus, no single center follows sufficient numbers of well-characterized patients for meaningful clinical and laboratory investigations. Furthermore, clinicians require an accurate knowledge of the clinical and laboratory presentation, mode of inheritance, treatment response, outcomes and prognosis to make important diagnostic treatment and reproductive decisions. A comprehensive registry that captures this information and characterizes patients accurately is therefore essential to advance our understanding of DBA, and in the process, knowledge regarding hematopoietic cell differentiation, birth defects and cancer predisposition. The registry will be an essential component of clinical and laboratory DBA related research and patient care. The Diamond Blackfan Anemia Registry (DBAR) was established in 1992, and families were asked to participate if a member was affected by the disorder. From this, the Diamond Blackfan Anemia Foundation (DBAF) was established, largely as a cooperating entity for families to share information. The registry attempts to establish contact with all affected individuals at the time of diagnosis, avoiding the pitfalls of reporting bias inherent to the study of many diseases for which extraordinary events prompt referral to specialized centers. The registry is already capturing a high percentage of the estimated number of new cases per year, and has facilitated genetic studies to define the gene(s) responsible for the disorder. Thus, the registry has an established track record based on funding from non-NIH sources. The study is in response to RFA HL-04-008 on Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Diamond-Blackfan Anemia and Other Congenital Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes. DESIGN NARRATIVE: The objective of this study is to expand and update the DBAR in order to: 1) facilitate investigations into the epidemiology and biology of Diamond Blackfan anemia; 2) provide an accurate phenotype of DBA patients to facilitate genotype- phenotype correlations; 3) provide access of well characterized patients to treatment protocols; 4) provide patients to access to research studies; 5) provide patients with results of research studies; 6) serve as a resource to patients and their doctors to guide diagnostic, therapeutic, and reproductive decisions.
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria: - Patients must meet the diagnostic criteria for DBA which include the following: 1. Normochromic, usually macrocytic and occasionally normocytic anemia developing early in childhood 2. Reticulocytopenia 3. Normocellular bone marrow with a selective deficiency of red cell precursors 4. Normal or slightly decreased leukocyte count 5. Normal or often increased platelet count

Rh incident to show how some of our friends talked about Rudder Grange when they first heard that we lived there.
After dinner that evening, when I went up on deck with Euphemia to have my smoke, we saw the boarder sitting on the bulwarks near the garden, with his legs dangling down outside.
"Look here!" said he.
I looked, but there was nothing unusual to see.
"What is it?" I asked.
He turned around, and, seeing Euphemia, said:
"Nothing."
It would be a very stupid person who could not take such a hint as that, and so, after a walk around the garden, Euphemia took occasion to go below to look at the kitchen fire.
As soon as she had gone, the boarder turned to me and said:
"I'll tell you what it is. She's working herself sick."
"Sick?" said I. "Nonsense!"
"No nonsense about it," he replied.
The truth was that the boarder was right and I was wrong. He had spent several months at Rudder Grange, and during this time Euphemia had been working very hard, and she really did begin to look pale and thin. Indeed, it would be very wearying for any woman of culture and refinement, unused to housework, to cook and care for two men, and do all the work of a canal-boat besides.
But I saw Euphemia so constantly, and thought so much of her, and had her image so continually in my heart, that I did not notice this until our boarder now called my attention to it. I was sorry that he had to do it. | WIKI |

Radix sort in Rust
If you know about Counting sort and Bucket sort , you should know that both sorts can break through the special sorting method that compares the sorting complexity $O(n log n) $ limit.
Radix sort is also a special integer sorting method , and the performance can also reach the breakthrough limit. The difference is that the first two are sorted by only one key value, while the Radix sort is sorted by multiple key values.
For example, to sort a group of integers ranging from 0 - 999, if sorted by Counting sort, you need to create an "array of 1000 elements" to calculate the number of occurrences of each integer;
If you use a Radix sort based on 10, Then only need to use the single digit, ten digit, and hundred digits as the key value to sort three times.
Usually, the Sorting subroutine of Radix sort will use Counting sort or Bucket sort, and the base 10 key-value range is only 0 - 9. This small range of integers is very suitable for Counting sort as a sorting subroutine, saving the configuration. int arr[1000]The time-space of the count array.
The basic features of Radix sort are as follows:
• Integer sorting : integers are used as sorted key values.
• Distributive sorting : Instead of pairwise comparisons, the key-value distribution is sorted. Linear execution time is available in specific situations.
• Stability : Radix sort with LSD is a stable sorting method; through optimization, MSD can also be a stable sorting method.
Steps
The common Radix sort is sorted according to each digit of the integer. According to the order of the digits, there are two types:
• Least significant digit (LSD) : Sorts from the lowest valid key value (the smallest number of bits to the largest).
• Most significant digit (MSD) : Sorts from the most significant key value (maximum number of digits to small).
The simple LSD Radix sort steps are as follows:
• LSD of each key : Get the minimum number of bits (LSD) for each data key.
• Sorting subroutine : Sorts the data according to the size of the digit.
• Repeating : Take the next valid digit and repeat step two to the maximum number of digits (MSD).
The steps for MSD Radix sort are similar, but the data key values are reversed.
• MSD of each key : Get the maximum number of bits (MSD) for each data key.
• Sorting subroutine : Sorts the data according to the size of the digit.
• Repeating : Take the next valid digit and repeat step two until the minimum digit (LSD).
Since the MSD Radix sort sorts the maximum number of digits first, there will be a result of 8 > 126. This order is usually called Lexicographical order. Like a dictionary, the more the previous alphabet sorting weight, the more important the basic version of MSD Radix sort is. Stable ordering.
use crate::sorting::counting_sort;
/// Radix sort for sorting unsigned integers.

Panasonic puts high priority on China despite supply chain risks
Adds quotes, details on China business, battery production
TOKYO, May 24 (Reuters) - China remains a high-priority market for Panasonic 6752.T even as geopolitics have highlighted the need for robust supply chains elsewhere, the Japanese group's chief executive said.
Leaders at the recent Group of Seven (G7) summit in Hiroshima stressed the need for firms to "de-risk" but not "decouple" from the world's second-largest economy.
"We will continue to develop our businesses in China as we have done in the past," Yuki Kusumi said during a roundtable interview with reporters in Tokyo on Wednesday, adding that there was "no doubt" that it was a high-priority market.
China made up about 11.5% of Panasonic's sales in the business year to end-March at 964.7 billion yen ($7.14 billion).
Kusumi said Japanese automakers were showing interest in Panasonic's cylindrical batteries, adding there may be cases where the Osaka-based company could handle operations for them.
The CEO did not provide names of domestic car makers from which Panasonic had received inquiries about its cylindrical batteries, which are used in electric vehicles.
Panasonic, whose energy unit makes batteries for Tesla TSLA.O, said last week it plans to build at least two new plants for its 4680 battery production in North America by 2030.
With that move, it seeks to boost its auto battery capacity to 200 gigawatt hours per year by March 2031, about four times its level at the end of March.
Panasonic was "of course" conducting research and development into 4680 battery cells that use a dry electrode manufacturing process, Kusumi said, without elaborating.

Abstract
Although they constitute an inert stage of the insect's life, eggs trigger plant defenses that lead to egg mortality or attraction of egg parasitoids. It was recently found that salicylic acid (SA) accumulâtes in response to oviposition by the Large White butterfly Pieris brassicae, both in local and systemic Arabidopsis leaves. In addition, eggs induced a response that is similar to the récognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), which are involved in PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI). In this thesis, I demonstrate that natural oviposition by P. brassicae or treatment with egg extract inhibit growth of différent Pseudomonas syringae strains in Arabidopsis thaliana through the activation of a systemic acquired résistance (SAR). This egg-induced SAR involves the metabolic SAR signal pipecolic acid, depends on ALD1 and FMOl, and is accompanied by a priming of defense genes upon secondary infection. Moreover, I found that ICSl-dependent SA accumulation was not required for SAR establishment but that it depends on MPK3 and MPK6 sustained activation. Furthermore, I found that components of the indole metabolism are needed to inhibit pathogen growth in systemic leaves. Additionally, the résistant state is not only efficient against bacteria but has a broad-range spectrum, rendering the plant more résistant against différent pathogens such as the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea or the oomycete Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis. Finally, although P. brassicae larvae showed a reduced performance when feeding on P. syringae-infected plants, this effect was less pronounced when infected plants had been previously subjected to oviposition. This unique phenomenon might illustrate a strategy by insect eggs to manipulate plant defenses and prevent the detrimental effect of pathogens on feeding. Larvae. Altogether these findings may open the way for a potential use of egg-extract as priming agent in agronomy.

Hi
I am having table coming from the database and loading into the qvd and storing as extractor qvw, this extractor qvw ( where qvd resides) will use for some other applications. so i dont want to make calculations on this table .
the data in the qvd looks like this
Load * inline
[
Duration , id
1,A1
2,D2
3,F5
4,H6
5,J8
.........
567546,UJHY6
];
Now i have to do 3 claculations on backend script level
the 3 calculations are
1)Duration/60 as Durations
2)Sum(Durations) as correctduration
3)(if(correctduration <60,correctduration ,correctduration /60)) as Right Duration
Load2;
LOAD
(
if(correctduration <60,correctduration ,correctduration /60)) as Right Duration , id;
Load1:
LOAD
Sum(Durations) as correctduration , id;
LOAD:
LOAD
Duration/60 as Durations ,
id
;
Load * inline
[
Duration , id
1,A1
2,D2
3,F5
4,H6
5,J8
.........
567546,UJHY6
];
While i am trying in the resident load , i am getting the output, but the reload time is very high and it is impacting the performance
So i went for preceding lload like the above script, i am getting the errors.
My question is we can do multiple precedng loads in the same load statement if means can any one give me the solution for the above?

I don't think we can use the sum() directly on the preceding load ...

What do you sum on? Id?
You need a group by anyway, and that won't fit a preceding load.

You can do but you must have a group by, the same as SQL really

Wherever you want to apply any aggregation function you have to use Group By clause.
E.g.
Load
sum(sales) as Sales,
id
group by id;

Apparently a group by in a preceding load is possible, then it would look like :
tablename:
LOAD
if(correctduration <60,correctduration ,correctduration /60) as Right Duration,
id;
LOAD
id,
Sum(Durations) as correctduration
Group by id;
LOAD
Duration/60 as Durations ,

Title: Optimisation of hedging-integrated rule curves for reservoir operation

Abstract:
Reservoir managers use operational rule curves as guides for managing and operating reservoir systems. However, this approach saves no water for impending droughts, resulting in large shortages during such droughts. This problem can be tempered by integrating hedging with the rule curves to curtail the water releases during normal periods of operation and use the saved water to limit the amount and impact of water shortages during droughts. However, determining the timing and amount of hedging is a challenge. This thesis presents the application of genetic algorithms (GA) for the optimisation of hedging-integrated reservoir rule curves. However, due to the challenge of establishing the boundary of feasible region in standard GA (SGA), a new development of the GA i.e. the dynamic GA (DGA), is proposed. Both the new development and its hedging policies were tested through extensive simulations of the Ubonratana reservoir (Thailand). The first observation was that the new DGA was faster and more efficient than the SGA in arriving at an optimal solution. Additionally, the derived hedging policies produced significant changes in reservoir performance when compared to no-hedging policies. The performance indices analysed were reliability (time and volume), resilience, vulnerability and sustainability; the results showed that the vulnerability (i.e. average single periods shortage) in particular was significantly reduced with the optimised hedging rules as compared to using the no-hedging rule curves. This study also developed a monthly inflow forecasting model using artificial neural networks (ANN) to aid reservoir operational decision-making. Extensive testing of the model showed that it was able to provide inflow forecasts with reasonable accuracy. The simulated effect on reservoir performance of forecasted inflows vis-à-vis other assumed reservoir inflow knowledge situations showed that the ANN forecasts were superior, further reinforcing the importance of good inflow information for reservoir operation. The ability of hedging to harness the inherent buffering capacity of existing water resources systems for tempering water shortage (or vulnerability) without the need for expensive new-builds is a major outcome of this study. Although applied to Ubonratana, the study has utility for other regions of the world, where e.g. climate and other environmental changes are stressing the water availability situation.

Drag Race terminology
A number of slang terms have been used on Drag Race. Some terms in the list already existed within drag culture, but were more widely popularized by their use on various iterations of the show, while others originated within the franchise itself. During his 2018 appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, RuPaul described some of the show's terminology to host Stephen Colbert.
List of terms and definitions
Slang terms used on the series have included: | WIKI |
John Harvey, a prosperous New Bern merchant, built one of the first brick houses there in the 1790s. This was a rare thing, since most houses, great and small, were wooden. The family held the house until the 1870s. It has had several uses since, including a boarding house.
House researchers seek to know who owned property and when. The Harvey Mansion, built in the 1790s, and its surrounding property, have been sold a number of times. As of 1997, the house was functioning as a restaurant.
In New Bern there are many outstanding examples of the city's architectural past, many dating back to the Colonial days. These include the John Wright Stanly house, Smallwood-Ward home, the William Gaston home, and the Richardson home.
The historic Attmore-Oliver House in New Bern was inherited by Hannah Taylor Attmore and her large family in 1859. During the Post-Civil War period, Hannah gave away her daughter, nicknamed Sunshine, in exchange for the nursing of her only surviving son. Sunshine’s granddaughter provided personal accounts and essential documents to complete this story.
The Bright House in New Bern was built by James and Mary Bright, who occupied the house until about 1800. Over the years, the house has been sold and relocated numerous times in New Bern. The Bright House is now restored and located on Craven Street.
The brick smokehouse built in 1847 behind the Attmore-Oliver House in New Bern has contributed to the interpretation of the house and social life history. People had a smokehouse because it was used to prepare ham, a resource which represented the peak of gentrified high status. Brick was used to reduce the incident of fire and also reduce stealing. | FINEWEB-EDU |
How to make Mailtrain widget work?
• Hello, I have a question about Mailtrain widget.
Mailtrain widget enables you to embed the newsletter signup form.
OnMailtrain github documentation, they say like this.
Subscription Widget
The (experimental) Mailtrain Subscription Widget allows you to embed your sign-up forms on your website. To embed a Widget, you need to:
Enable cross-origin resource sharing in your config file and whitelist your site:
[cors] # Allow subscription widgets to be embedded origins=['https://www.example.com']
Embed the widget code on your website:
Does what they say "config file" means production.toml on Cloudron Mailtrain app?
I added the script on .toml file, but it didn:undefined:’:undefined:t work on my server. Is there anything I should configure to make it work?
Thank you!
• I just gave it a try and yes, you should put the adjusted snippet into /app/data/production.toml inside the mailtrain app and then restart the app (there is a restart button in the terminal view in the Cloudron dashboard for the app)
• Thank you for checking and confirmation!
I tried it by myself again. It only showed "Subscribe to our list" link.
I thought I could embed signup forms on my wordpress website.
• From what I can tell from the upstream documentation, the widget is mostly an unstyled link for now, pointing to a mailtrain rendered form for subscribing. You would have to style it yourself for now. As it is still marked as experimental, it will probably get enhanced at some point.

Instagram’s new location sharing map: how it works and how to turn it off
Instagram’s new location-sharing Map feature is raising privacy concerns among some users, who worry their whereabouts could be tracked or misused.

This con is robbing seniors blind—and growing fast
Meta announced the rollout this week, introducing a map that lets U.S. users share their locations and see location-based content from friends—similar to Snapchat’s Snap Map or Apple’s Find My.
This feature is opt-in and off by default. Users also have the option to turn off location sharing “at any time,” Meta said in a release. Here’s how to do it.
Open the Instagram app and tap the arrow icon in the top right of your home feed to open Messages. The Map option should appear at the top of your inbox.
The first time you open Map, you’ll see a screen labeled “Who can see your location.” You can choose to share it with:
Friends (followers you follow back)
Your Close Friends list
Selected users
No one
To update your preferences, navigate to your profile, tap the settings icon in the top-right corner, select “Story, live and location,” then choose “Location sharing.” From there, you can adjust who sees your location.
On the Map, different icons indicate your status:
A blue arrow means you’re sharing your location with your selected audience.
A red dot indicates you’re not sharing your location.
An orange triangle means you need to enable location permissions on your device to share your location.
To shut off location services for Instagram on an iPhone, open Settings and tap through from Privacy & Security to Location Services. Scroll to Instagram and select “Never.”
To turn off location services for Instagram on an Android device, open your phone’s settings and scroll to Apps. Select Instagram, then tap Permissions and choose Location. From here, you can select “Don’t allow” to completely block location access, or opt for “Allow only while using the app” or “Ask every time” for more control. (You can also toggle off precise location if you prefer.)
Even with location sharing off, you can still see friends who share their location with you. If you enable it, your location updates whenever you open the app or return to it from the background, Meta says.
Parents with supervision enabled can control whether their child has access to location sharing, see who they’re sharing with, and receive notifications if location sharing is turned on.

AGE AS A RISK FACTOR IN PATIENTS WITH DRY SOCKETS : A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
Kethiswar Raj; Balakrishna R N
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine, 2020, Volume 7, Issue 1, Pages 1159-1165
Alveolar osteitis which is also known as dry socket, is an inflammation of the alveolar bone. Usually, this occurs after a postoperative complication of tooth extraction.Alveolar osteitis can occur where the blood clot fails to form or is lost from the socket and this leaves the empty socket where bone is exposed to the oral cavity, causing a localized alveolar osteitis limited to the lamina dura . This most specific type is known as dry socket and is associated with increased pain and delayed healing time.The aim of the study is to compare the prevalence of dry socket and age as a risk factor in patients who visited Saveetha Dental College.The objective was to find the base in Saveetha Dental college by the data collected for the theoretical framework for research proposal.In materials and methods , there are certain requirements that were necessary such as case control study for a better understanding , patients details who visited saveetha dental college for a background check , data obtained from the outpatient record was to ensure that the data can be supported , followed by analytics of dry socket patients to know the total number of patients involved ,the sample size obtained and the tabulation of data was done in excel sheet and finally a satisfied analysis is done with the proper data.The majority of patients that are with dry socket were around the age range from 28 years to 47 years and is more common in females than in males and majority of them are non-smokers.Even in the gender prevalence , the total number of females are more than males by numbers and it is obtained with the confirmed data.The mean age group from the age range of 28 years to 47 years is the age group 50 years and the positive statistically significant correlation between the age and dry sockets.The type of test used in this study is this chi square test and the P value of the test is <0.05 which is significant.We can observe the graph showing distributions such as age where the age group from 28 years to 47 years has a total value of (9 with 53.1%) and we also can conclude that the age group from 55 years to 74 years have a total value of 46.9%.In gender we can tell from the graph that the male group has a total value of (8 with 47.1%) and that the female group has a total value of (52.9%).From smoking we can conclude that a total of (76.5%) of the obtained patients are non-smokers and a total of (23.5%) of the obtained patients are smokers | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
How to Combine Variational Bayesian Networks in Federated LearningDownload PDF

Keywords: Federated Learning, Bayesian Neural Networks, Federated Bayesian Learning
Abstract: Federated Learning enables multiple data centers to train a central model collaboratively without exposing any confidential data. Even though deterministic models are capable of performing high prediction accuracy, their lack of calibration and capability to quantify uncertainty is problematic for safety-critical applications. Different from deterministic models, probabilistic models such as Bayesian neural networks are relatively well-calibrated and able to quantify uncertainty alongside their competitive prediction accuracy. Both of the approaches appear in the federated learning framework; however, the aggregation scheme of deterministic models cannot be directly applied to probabilistic models since weights correspond to distributions instead of point estimates. In this work, we study the effects of various aggregation schemes for variational Bayesian neural networks. With empirical results on three image classification datasets, we observe that the degree of spread for an aggregated distribution is a significant factor in the learning process. Hence, we present an \textit{survey} on the question of how to combine variational Bayesian networks in federated learning, while providing computer vision classification benchmarks for different aggregation settings.

Calvary Baptist Theological Seminary
The Calvary Baptist Theological Seminary (CBS) was a Baptist seminary located in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. It has 558 alumni and provided master's and doctoral degrees to clergy candidates across various conservative Baptist denominations. The school was accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
The school was founded by Dr. Robert Jordan, the minister at the Calvary Baptist Church of Lansdale. In 1979, just prior to the graduation of the first class, the state of Pennsylvania approved the school for official seminary designation. Initially offering only a Master's of Divinity degree, a Master's of Theology program was added in 1985. In 1986, the school became a doctoral institute, as it added a Doctor of Divinity program. Two more degrees, which relate to missionary work and religious education, were added in 2004.
In August 2013, it was announced that Calvary Baptist Seminary would be closing at the end of the upcoming academic year. It graduated its last class of 42 students on May 16, 2014. Its building was repurposed as Calvary Baptist Church. | WIKI |

No Entrance
No Entrance (Vstup zakázán) is a 1960 Czechoslovak film directed by František Vláčil and Milan Vošmik. The film consists of two segments - The Chase (directed by Vláčil) and The Wandering (directed by Vošmik). Both segments are stories from the life of Czechoslovk border guard.
The Chase
Young Border Guard accompanies Sergeant Major Border Guard on a patrol. They find tracks in the snow and follow them. They are met with a snowstorm and become separated. Sergeant Major falls asleep, but wakes up when he hears gunshots. He finds Young Border Guard shot. He gets him to a rural house where a young woman lives. She tells him about a suspicious man who was there. Sergeant Major goes after the saboteur and catches him as the Young Border Guard dies.
The Wandering
Lieutenant Štěpánek lives with his family in a village in Šumava, near the border. Štěpánek's wife Jiřina doesn't like it there and wants to return inland. Štěpánek doesn't want to leave his job and is unhappy with his wife's lamentations. Their son Péťa adores his father. One day, Jiřina starts to pack up when Štěpánek is on duty. Péťa runs away when he finds out his father wouldn't go with them. Everybody in the village then helps to find Péťa, and Jiřina decides to stay.

Our muscles are habitual of storing a kind of carbohydrate known as glycogen. This stored carbohydrate is only consumed when our body does some extra exercise. When we get rid of carbs, we can actually access this stored fuel and consume it off. For this avoid consuming carbs after lunch and substitute with low-carb food so that no new fat is stored.
The trick is to never stuff your tummy, or to starve. Eat something within half an hour of waking up and then a breakfast full of wholegrain and protein. Go for a filling lunch and a light dinner at least three hours before bedtime. Eat two snacks – one mid morning and one at tea time. Small, balanced meals do not lead to tummy bulge and keep your metabolism up and running. Best part is that your body never goes into starvation mode, which is when it feels the need to store everything as fat.
With the weather getting warmer it’s the perfect time to go for a walk or run, but remember to vary your speeds. Why, you ask? Research has shown it will help you shrink your belly. In a Danish study reported by the American Diabetes Association, two groups of people with type 2 diabetes were put on a walking program. One group walked at a steady speed, while the other group varied their walking speed. After four months, the interval-training group lost eight more pounds than the steady walkers. Even better, the walkers who changed up their speeds lost visceral belly fat and improved their blood sugar control.
Flat-Belly Bonus: Fiber-rich lentils feed healthy gut bacteria and keep things moving along smoothly in your gut to prevent bloating and constipation. And adding dark leafy greens (as we do in tonight's dinner) helps you take in fewer calories without increasing hunger. As per Harvard University research, vegetables are the number one food that promotes weight loss.
Just like vegetables, this can be as simple or as complex as you want it. Maybe you’re just making sure there’s a protein source at each meal (if it was lacking before). Maybe you’re figuring out rough portion sizes. Maybe you’re taking it to the max and actually weighing your food. The point is, you should be including it throughout the day and week.
It’s not just about weight loss. Having great gut health is linked to good health throughout your body. Scientists in this rapidly growing field are finding connections between gut microbes and the immune system, weight loss, gastrointestinal health, , allergies, asthma, and even cancer. With every study that’s published, scientists become more convinced that having a healthy gut leads to having a healthy body.

Broken Tailbone Recovery Time
A broke bone can be to a great degree excruciating and can take a few days to mend. Likewise, a crack of the coccyx or the tailbone is to a great degree excruciating and is created because of injury coming about because of a fall or a mischance. For the most part, the recuperation time is around 8 weeks relying upon the general soundness of the individual and the degree of the break. This article gives some data on the same.
The human tailbone is a small portion of our skeleton that reminds us that we were animals with tails not too long ago. The tailbone or the coccyx is the last set of ‘vertebrae’ of the ape vertebral column. The coccyx is attached to the sacrum with a fibrocartilaginous joint. This part of the spinal column, i.e. coccyx, is not one single bone, but is made out of 5 different vertebrae. The term is derived from Greek language and is a direct translation of the word cuckoo, the beak of which this it resembles. The recovery time would principally differ in accordance with the level and severity of the injury.
Recovery Time
The tailbone injury recovery is quite uncertain and often it does not get recovered completely for a year or so. The odd location of this injury actually makes matters worse.
• A common, minor, or the bruised tailbone recovery time, that is not very severe, is within a time span of 4-6 weeks from the accident. That is, the healing of a bruised tailbone takes lesser time as compared to that of a fractured one. The tailbone injury recovery time for a fracture is around 8 weeks. In cases where the injury was a bit severe, the healing time is more.
• In most of the cases, though the healing time spans to 3 months, the actual rehabilitation of the bone structure is very long, extending to a time period, exceeding an entire year.
• The key to timely recovery is to take very disciplined measures such as pain medications, stool softeners, and other such medications that reduce pain from the trauma.
• To boost up the healing process, the doctors often prescribe medications that boost local healing. Natural supplements to soothe the pain and also boost the healing include glucosamine and cod liver oil.
• Healing time is uncertain and taking appropriate rest, not sitting down for a long time (use a cushion or gel donut while sitting), and giving the body time and posture, to help the injury heal are the only few choices. You can also ice your tailbone for 20 minutes every hour for the first 48 hours, which can then be followed by 2-3 times a day. However, make sure that you do not apply te ice directly to the skin.
• In extreme cases, doctors surgically remove parts of it or the entire tailbone. This takes away the pain but, on the whole, to completely rehabilitate and get back to normal, you would need about a year’s time.
Causes and Symptoms
The triangular shape of the tailbone often leads to the fragmentation or breakage of this bone on immediate shocking or heavy impact. It is basically the last bone of the spine, and hence it is subjected to a heavy impact if we fall on our bottom. Either way, the impact is not at all friendly and tends to damage the coccyx if it is heavy or sufficiently strong enough. The tailbone as a whole, thus becomes susceptible to different levels of injury, right from the small hair-line impact cracks to large fractures. Apart from that bruises, dislocation, and breakage of the same can also occur. On the whole, whenever possible try to break your fall with your hands, because a tailbone fracture which is technically known as a coccyx fracture is extremely painful. The recovery time is uncertain and it is a very painful condition.
The broadness of the female pelvis is another reason that increases the probability and even the severity of this condition. Apart from the aforementioned trauma or hard fall, it can also occur as a result of constant strain or friction by activities such as cycling and rowing. The common symptoms of this fracture include pain while in a seating position, strained and painful bowel movement, and external bruises.
In case of such injuries the more quickly you go to the doctor, the better would be the diagnosis. Hence, if you experience any chronic pain or bruising after a fall, rush to a doctor, preferably an orthopedic surgeon.

Going nuts for coconut oil
Cross-posted from Dietitian at Home.

Apparently there is nothing coconut oil cannot do. According to innumerable health and lifestyle sites, it’s good for the body inside and out; you’ll never need another fat again. There’s so much hype and beautiful, flowery language around this food that it is really difficult to know what is true, and what is a bit (or an extreme amount) of exaggeration about the virtues of this wonder fat. This article makes some pretty bold assertions, and always, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
But first, a primer on coconut oil. Despite its name, it is a fat that is solid at room temperature. This is due to the fact that it contains 90% saturated fatty acids, which is more than butter. What sets it apart from most other solid fats is the types of saturated fats in coconut oil. Fatty acids – the components of “fat” – are strings of carbon atoms with a certain number of hydrogen atoms attached, with or without double bonds. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds; this is what allows them to fit together compactly, making a solid fat. Fatty acids come in many lengths, from 4-carbon chains all the way up to 22 carbons, occasionally more. Most of the saturated fats in butter or animal fats are long-chain, 16 to 20 carbons atoms. Of coconut oil’s 90% saturated fat content, 58% of those fatty acids are medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), 6-12 carbons per chain. These fats are metabolized differently than long fatty acids, and this is a key point to remember when examining the health claims. Interestingly, coconut oil contains no omega-3 fats, the polyunsaturated fats most associated with reduced cardiovascular disease risk. Even butter contains 1% omega-3 fats.
So on to the health claims (paraphrased):
1. Coconut oil has a unique fatty acid composition with medicinal properties.
Yes, it has a unique composition, just like every other fat out there. We wouldn’t expect coconut oil to be exactly like butter, because then it would be butter. The medicinal properties claim comes from the high proportion of MCTs. MCT oil is regularly used in medical nutrition therapy for many conditions including malnutrition, malabsorptive disorders, the ketogenic diet for seizures and other brain disorders, and more. It is a manufactured product, meant to ensure purity, potency, and almost exclusive MCT content. Any health benefits from coconut oil cannot be fairly equated to those of MCT oil because they are very different substances. MCTs do have a beneficial effect on the conditions listed above, however, we cannot extrapolate that people without these conditions would see the same benefits.
2. The people who eat the most coconut oil are the healthiest.
This is another epidemiological finding that cannot imply causation. Both the groups pointed out, the Tokelauans and the Kitavans are small, isolated populations, living largely subsistence lifestyles, with almost no intake of western refined foods. There are so many differences between their genetics predispositions, activity levels, lifestyles, and diet compared to ours in North America that to conclude their apparent reduced incidence of cardiovascular disease is due to coconut oil is unfair at best, deceptive at worst.
3. Coconut oil will help you burn fat, lose weight.
Right now there is not enough evidence to make this assertion. It doesn’t mean it’s not true, or that coconut oil does not have a favourable effcect compared to other fats, it’s just that the research hasn’t been done. A lot of the articles cited in support of this claim, like this one, this one, and this one are very small (12 or fewer subjects each) and completed 20-30 years ago. Small sample size reduces the strength of the evidence, so no big conclusions can be made. And again, some of these studies used MCT oil, not coconut oil; strike two against this claim.
4. Coconut oil has antimicrobial effects.
Most of the studies cited to support this claim are in vitro studies, a.k.a. put-things-in-a-petri-dish-and-see-what-happens study. We learn a lot from this kind of research, it’s what gives us a better understanding and generates many more research hypotheses. But this type of research absolutely cannot be used to make recommendations about human health and interventions. The reason is simple: the human body is not a petri dish. Our bodies are not tightly controlled environments where only one variable is manipulated at a time. Using in vitro studies to make a health claim is like saying that we are made of atoms, atoms are mostly space, thus we are invisible. An interesting idea, but clearly false. Luckily, a better in vivo (in a living being in semi-normal conditions) study was done to test the antimicrobial claims of coconut oil but sadly, the beloved tropical fat didn’t do any better than controls. Please, please, please, if you suspect you have any type of infection, skip the coconut oil and talk to your doctor.
5. Coconut oil can reduce hunger (…thus helping you lose weight).
Just like the previous weight loss claim, the studies cited are old and small, the test diets are very different from typical diet patterns, and once again, they are using MCT oil, not coconut oil. I’m not saying there’s no benefit to coconut oil here, there just isn’t enough good evidence to support that.
6. MCTs in coconut oil are helpful for seizure control, as part of the ketogenic diet.
I feel like we’ve covered this already…but here it goes again. Yes, the high fat ketogenic diet, with or without MCTs, is a very useful treatment for some people with significant neurological disorders. If you do not have a condition like that, this “benefit” does not apply to you. As always, the claimant is conflating concentrated MCT oil with coconut oil. If you or a loved one do love with a condition for which the ketogenic diet may be prescribed, listen to the advice of your health care team and ignore this claim all together. Ultimately, this claim helps no one and may cause harm to someone who thinks they will get a health “boost” from switching to coconut oil. This is a dangerous path to take.
7. Coconut oil improves blood cholesterol levels, especially the “good” cholesterol HDL.
This is probably one of the best researched topics in the usefulness of coconut oil at present. Coconut oil does seem to show some favourable effects on cholesterol levels and types. What this tells us is that coconut oil is likely safe and can be part of healthy diet. This does not tell us that we should eschew all other oils and use coconut oil exclusively for all of our fat-based needs.
8. Coconut oil can be used as sunscreen and moisturizer.
Sunscreen can also be used as sunscreen. Coconut oil’s impressive-sounding ability to block out 20% of UV rays is no match for your run-of-the-mill SPF 15 sunscreen which blocks 93% of those rays. As for moisturizer, plant-based oils and fats have been used – and continue to be – for centuries as moisturizers. Cocoa butter, shea butter, and coconut oil tend to be favourites because of the nice smells and smooth, not oily textures. This likely has to do with the MCTs and their low melting point, but I can’t be sure and I’m too tired to keep talking about this. Moving on.
9. Coconut oil can improve Alzheimer’s.
False. Hear-say and case-studies do not equal evidence. Next claim.
10. Coconut oil can help you lose dangerous belly fat.
See the items above for weight loss. There is some research showing that coconut oil may in fact have this positive effect, but as usual, no conclusions should be drawn yet.
If you like coconut oil, great. If you don’t, great. Whether you choose to include it or not is up to you. Either way, your best bet is to include a variety of plant-based fats in your diet, and don’t look for any magic effects in a jar.

FAQ GENERAL
• Do I need to have an account with a WiFi service provider to use wireless?
• What distance can I get with my internal wireless card in my laptop?
Although the range of the internal wireless card will vary among manufacturers, you can expect to get anywhere from 25 feet to 100 feet away from an access point, or hotspot, before loosing your connection. Although manufacturers will inflate the distance they perceive their products communicating at, these estimates are not practical, and are usually always wrong. At GNS Communications, you can expect to receive a real life estimate of what our recommended products will communicate at. A common fix to the internal wireless card is to upgrade to a PCMCIA card, like the ZyXel B-101 card.
• What PCMCIA card do you recommend for my laptop?
For the best coverage around the house or office, or while logging into hotspots on the road, you want to go with a card that allows for the addition of a high gain antenna. There are a few different cards out there that allow this, but we recommend using the ZyXel 802.11b card. This card allows a high gain antenna to be connected to it and also has excellent range with or without an upgraded antenna. Contact us for more info.
• Can I mix wireless equipment from different vendors?
If you are using 802.11b, or 802.11g equipment, you are able to mix different manufacturers products and still get a connection.Although the majority of wireless equipment are inter operable, we recommend verification as teh standards are fairly recent.Some applications do require the use of similar devices in order to be supported. Most of these devices are Power-Over-Ethernet adapters, and bridging kits. Most PCMCIA cards, PCI cards, and other client devices will talk to whatever type access point is available.

FAQ D-Link
• What is the transmit power on the DWL-2100?
FAQ WIRELESS BRIDGE KITS
• What is a Bridge Kit?
• How do I setup a building to building link between 2 locations?
If you are trying to connect 2 locations wirelessly, all you will need is two high gain antennas, 2 wireless Access Points, and 2 sets of extended coax cable. You will also need lightning arrestors if the antennas are to be mounted on the roof. This type of setup is known as a bridge kit, and can connect two locations up to 50 miles apart depending on the device used. For more information, please visit our bridge-kit page or contact us today.
• How long do I have, to run an antenna cable to my device?
Each wireless device has a certain power output. Most of the wireless access points have a power output of about 100mw. Client devices on the other hand usually have a power output of about 80 to 100mw. Depending on the power output of your device, and depending on the gain of your antenna, and the type of cable being used, is how you determine the length of coax cable you should be running between your antenna and your wireless device.
We use two types of cable, LMR-195, and LMR-400. LMR-400 is usually meant for outdoor cable runs and has a lower db loss per foot. LMR-195 is meant for indoor use and has a higher db loss per foot. The longer the coax cable you use, the lower the gain or strength your antenna will be.
• Do I need high gain antennas on each end of my Bridge?
• How can I place the Access Point near the antenna if there is no power outlet?
• Do I absolutely need Line-of-Sight between my two locations?

Bragg grating technology augments dense WDM communications
Bragg grating technology augments dense WDM communications
The ability of Bragg gratings to preselect and fix wavelengths over fiber offers a stable, reliable and cost-effective improvement in dense wavelength-division multiplexing
Paul Sanders, Gary Ball and Laura A. Weller-brophy
3m
Bragg grating technology offers increased performance and capacity of fiber-optics-based telecommunications and sensor systems through the incorporation of fiber gratings in transmission lines and device pigtailing, and in combination with fiber-related components.
Advances in fiber development and manufacturing processes are moving Bragg grating technology from the laboratory into product development. In addition, commercial Bragg grating products are being developed in accordance with customer demands for higher-capacity installed fiber-optic telecommunications networks.
Projections made by BNR Europe Ltd. indicate that bandwidth requirements for major networks are expected to exceed 100 gigabits per second by the year 2000. To handle those high speeds, dense wavelength-division multiplexing, or DWDM, is emerging as the viable transmission technology for increasing the available bandwidth of the installed fiber base.
Fiber Bragg gratings are anticipated to facilitate the implementation of DWDM networks by providing a calibrated means to preselect and fix wavelengths for transmitters, receivers, routers and channel filters. They are also projected for use in optimizing the performance of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, or EDFAs. Moreover, fiber Bragg gratings are figured to provide the dispersion compensation required in the high-bit-rate operation of the installed base of non-dispersion-shifted fiber over the 1550-nanometer EDFA wavelength band.
The implementation of fiber Bragg gratings into a DWDM network involves the use of frequency-stabilized laser diodes that operate at approximately 1550 nm and are externally modulated onto a single fiber with wavelength-multiplexed signals.
Amplification of all wavelengths is performed using EDFAs with gain flattening. At the receiver end of the network, the signals are demultiplexed, dispersion compensation is done using fiber grating compensators, and the signals are coupled to receivers. Laser diodes, wavelength multiplexers, fiber amplifiers and dispersion compensators constitute--in part--fiber Bragg gratings.
Ultraviolet exposure
Fiber gratings are made by exposing a singlemode fiber to a periodic pattern of intense ultraviolet light. The exposure produces a permanent increase in the refractive index of the fiber core, thereby creating a fixed index modulation according to the exposure pattern.
A small amount of light is reflected at each periodic modulation of refractive index. The contributions of light reflected by each period of the grating coherently add in phase when the wavelength of light in the fiber is equal to twice the grating period. This wavelength is referred to as the Bragg wavelength according to Bragg`s law (after 19th century scientist, Sir William L. Bragg).
Only the wavelengths that satisfy the Bragg condition are efficiently reflected by the periodic grating. The other wavelengths propagate through the grating with minimal attenuation. Grating reflectivity and bandwidth are adjusted through control of the grating length, grating period and amplitude of index modulation.
When properly fabricated, the grating spectrum remains fixed to a tight tolerance and does not drift significantly over the lifetime of the grating. Accelerated aging experiments suggest that fiber gratings suffer negligible change in peak reflectivity and spectral bandwidth after the gratings are properly annealed. Because the grating fabrication and recoating processes retain the high strength of the optical fiber, mechanical wavelength tuning over several nanometers has been successfully demonstrated through mechanical strain (stretching of the fiber) and by heating (thermal expansion).
Grating applications
Fiber Bragg gratings find widespread applications in fiber-optic networks and provide the frequency selection and stabilization needed for WDM usage. These applications include the frequency stabilization of external cavity semiconductor lasers, spectral filtering, fiber-amplifier optimization, dispersion compensation, fiber lasers and fiber sensors.
Gratings are being used to achieve wavelength and mode control of semiconductor diode lasers by serving as an external cavity reflector in the device`s fiber pigtail. This wavelength-selective grating establishes the lowest loss lasing mode, suppresses undesired resonances and narrows the spectrum of the lasing mode.
Frequency control of a low-cost Fabry-Perot laser diode has been demonstrated using this approach. Also, the demonstration of a grating-controlled 1.2-Gbit/sec directly modulated laser-diode experiment showed a 50-kilohertz source linewidth and a laser chirp of less than 500 kHz. Although the round-trip travel time of light in the external fiber cavity limits the direct modulation transmission rate of this device to several gigabits per second, high-speed transmission can be achieved by operating the diode in continuous-wave mode and using external modulation.
A commercial application of fiber gratings deals with the wavelength stabilization of 980-nm EDFA pump lasers. The output gain spectrum and the subsequent performance of this amplifier depends heavily on the wavelength of the pump source. Fiber-grating wavelength stabilization in this application offers a solution in setting and stabilizing the lasing wavelength and the added benefit of allowing relaxed device manufacturing tolerances for high-production yield. Another potential application focuses on the wavelength stabilization of uncooled semiconductor lasers.
Filter uses
Fiber Bragg gratings provide efficient bandpass, bandstop and channel add/drop filtering functions in other applications. A single grating acts as a wavelength-selective filter by reflecting wavelengths around the Bragg resonance. Several network components can be constructed in combination with other gratings and fiber-based components. For example, gratings written in the output segments of a fused biconic taper 1300/1550-nm wavelength-division multiplexer can improve channel isolation to expand the device`s role into more demanding applications.
In another application, the placement of identical gratings in the output segments of a 3-decibel coupler helps to configure a special bandpass filter. This filter passes only the band around the Bragg resonance through the adjacent input line and passes all other nonreflected bands through the output lines of the coupler. Adding a second coupler to these segments provides a Mach-Zehnder arrangement for a four-port channel add/drop filter. Channel add/drop filters can also be made by writing the gratings in the output lines of a circulator to redirect or drop reflected WDM channels.
In another fiber Bragg gratings application, light can be coupled out of the core of a fiber by tilting or blazing a grating at angles to the fiber axis. In this manner, light at the Bragg resonance is tapped out of the guided mode into a continuum of fiber-radiation modes. Besides coupling to radiation modes, long-period gratings that couple light into fiber cladding modes have been demonstrated. This approach provides bandstop filtering with ultralow backreflections.
Fiber amplifiers
In an approach analogous to the blazed grating-mode converter, output side-tap fiber gratings can be used to flatten the gain spectrum of fiber amplifiers. Fiber gratings used in all-optical feedback techniques have demonstrated better than a 0.1-dB gain flatness over a wavelength range of 1532 to 1560 nm.
The combination of passive filtering with gratings and optical gain control allows the development of high-linear amplifiers. Intracavity gratings can also be used to backreflect pump energy (pump folding) to improve gain efficiency.
Chirped or aperiodic gratings that reflect different wavelengths at different points along the grating have been proposed to compensate for dispersion penalties in operating the 1550-nm band on the installed base of nondispersion-shifted, 1300-nm singlemode fiber. To this end, the 30-picosecond compensation of 400-femtosecond pulses operating at 100 Gbits/sec have been demonstrated.
Fiber laser sources
Densely packed WDM, fiber-optic communications and sensor systems are expected to require arrays of low-noise lasers operating at a prespecified wavelength or in a specified comb of wavelengths. In addition to wavelength selection, convenient wavelength tunability is desired.
Although it is difficult to achieve the required wavelength specific to distributed feedback semiconductor diode lasers because of substrate inconsistency and manufacturing tolerances, fiber Bragg gratings can be used to conveniently define wavelength and limit lasing to a single frequency in both rare-earth-doped fiber lasers and external-cavity semiconductor lasers. Single-frequency linear fiber lasers that use intracore Bragg reflectors for cavity feedback and mode selectivity are important for their wavelength selectivity during manufacturing and for their engineering simplicity. To date, an externally modulated erbium-doped fiber grating laser has transmitted 2.5 Gbits/sec over 654 kilometers with a 10-9 bit-error-rate.
Bragg gratings serve as excellent fiber-optic sensing transducer elements. To accomplish this function, they are integrated into the light-guiding core of the fiber and are then arc-wavelength-encoded. This scheme eliminates the problems of amplitude and intensity variations that plague other types of fiber sensors.
These transducer elements are also conveniently multiplexed in a fiber-optic network because of their narrowband wavelength reflection. Fiber gratings have been embedded in composite-material smart structures and then monitored and tested with civil structures to monitor load levels. They have also been tested successfully as acoustic sensing arrays.
Applications for fiber grating sensors are estimated to emerge soon for the utility, process-control and aerospace industries. u

Chronic Disease on Patients Life
Managing chronic disease
Among the common chronic diseases that we have is asthma. Asthma is a disease that tends to be of airways and characterized by variable as well as ever occurring symptoms bronchospam, and reversible airflow obstruction. Some of its major symptoms include chest tightness, coughing, shortness of breath and wheezing. Cause of asthma has been associated with combination of environmental and genetic factors. How it is diagnosed depends on the spirometry, response to therapy over time, and the pattern of symptoms. This paper is based on the interview done towards children who were suffering from asthma in trying to describe these patients experience while living with asthma and what impact it has on their life.
My interview was carried out among children who were suffering from Asthma. They had different stories on the way they realized or came to discover that they were asthmatic however majority realized that they were suffering from asthma through their doctors. One of the child says that he was taken to the doctor for check up after he gradually developed problem of breathing and that is when he was diagnosed with asthma. It was difficult for him to accept that but with the help of his family and his doctor he had to accept and go on with his life as he tries to cope and manage its symptoms such as dyspnea, wheezing, and coughing so that he remain as the rest of the normal children, (National Institutes of Health, 2012). "I could cough all through the night that made my daddy and mummy to be very disturbed waking up to check me asking me how I was feeling." This chronic disease made these affected children to have limitations and social implications to their normal activities, for example they could not run long enough to make them score a point in a soccer game as well as others which involves a run or maybe the annoyed reaction of the fellow classmates when they wheeze.
Asthmatic children are always limited in activities, apart from finding themselves limited in physical activity as running that influences their success in most of the games and activities, they become less good in sports such as cycling and swimming.
Impact on social life
According to these children, they are always ignored or bullied since they have limited physical capacities particularly as they take part in physical education in school. Like during team formation, these children had a feeling that they have less chance of them chosen. There a must visit to the hospital or health care professionals making them miss school activities and sometimes becoming sick when they are in school. They complain of unpleasant diagnostic procedures such as histamine provocation tests, and other treatment procedures that they have to undergo. They feels that they miss essential schooling that makes them find it hard to cope with the class.
Asthmatic children always have to face disbelief of their fellow classmates that do consider their absence from school to be a positive thing but not negative. Some of the asthmatic symptoms such as coughing is not easily kept hidden from the fellow classmates and sometimes results in bullying. Some of them find it uncomfortable to explain the many aspects of asthma not once or twice but many times.
One child explains that "Not once, I was forced to visit hospital first then later is when I go to school but my fellow classmates says it is a liar, I didn't visit hospital, yet it is true I visited hospital."
"My classmates thinks that I am supposed to go home even during school hours that I'm ill and they also think that me I don't have to do maths, some of them think it is fun to have asthma because you are always going to be treated friendly by the teacher, but one do not enjoy and I wish to be like them not like I am now." because of asthma I have to cough several times during class and everyone looks at you while at the play ground they would laugh when given a task saying that I'm sick and can't do it."
Impact emotionally and mentally
Asthmatic children emphasizes that they do feel different from the rest of the children. They saw use of medication as a negative aspect of asthmatic disease. Nevertheless, the children that I interacted with were positive about their future. Their hope is that an improved medication will onetime be available, acts of bullying will reduce when they are in school, as well as hoping that just like the way they have heard from other individuals that have outgrow the disease. They also encounter lack of concentration in class especially due to the frequent cough.
"...most of the times I have to take my medication but sometimes like don't want to do so, but I have to. And sometime at the middle of the lesson the cough would come as the teacher explains an important point. "...now they are bullying us because sometimes you can't run so fast, but when we are older that will never happen anymore."
The children are ready and optimistic of the future, using example of people they watch from the television who are also victims of the circumstance as from their childhood till know that they are of age but have managed to continue to live their lives despite their challenges and are even involved in some of the games and activities without fear. Though at their age they are still affected by these too often to some extent they have learn to live with it through the help of their parents, doctors, and even their teachers who always encourage them and emphasize to them that they are just like the rest of other pupils and they can continue with their normal activities but with caution.
"...first I was so afraid when after I was checked and informed that I was diagnosed to be suffering from asthma, I asked when will I be well again, everyone hesitated to answer me then I was told that I was going to be well if I take my medication and follow what the doctor tells me. But as times go the same medication was to continue on and my parents told me that asthma do not have a specific cure but if a take care of myself I was to be more better and would disappear."...onwards I concentrated a lot on finding out if people have made it until old age with asthma, what made me have hope that I was one day going to be well is when I watched some people as they became elderly people they were no more suffering from asthma again, this made me to have hope and enjoyed my medication trying to behave normal though sometimes like I was tired f pretending, as the way this people continued with their activities and sports that they could manage I decided to as well try to do so."
Theory of motivation and learning for the management
Theories of motivation and learning for the management of asthmatic patients should be selected and applied with a lot of consideration. Self-regulation as one of them defined as a process of observing, coming up with judgments, as well as reacting realistically and appropriately to an individuals' effort of managing a task. It acts as a means that the patients use their own perception towards what they can do. For instance, somebody with asthma wanting to play basketball figures out that through the help of drug he will be able to make it, therefore he takes the drugs preventively, uses reliever drug after a strenuous exercise, depend on moral support from his coach and friends to achieve…

Meteorological history of Hurricane Maria
Hurricane Maria was the tenth-most intense Atlantic hurricane on record and caused catastrophic damage in Puerto Rico in late September 2017. Originating from a tropical wave, it developed into a tropical depression on September 16 while situated to the east of the Lesser Antilles. Gradual intensification occurred over the next day or two and it strengthened into a tropical storm, which was named Maria. By late on September 17, Maria had intensified into a hurricane. As it approached the island arc, it underwent explosive intensification on September 18, with the hurricane reaching Category 5 intensity as it made landfall on the island of Dominica early on September 19. Land interaction weakened the storm somewhat, although it was able to quickly recover and later peaked that night with sustained winds of 175 mph (280 km/h) and a pressure of 908 mbar. Early the next morning it weakened to a high-end Category 4 hurricane before making landfall in Puerto Rico. Maria weakened significantly due to crossing the island, but was able to strengthen somewhat as it passed close to Hispaniola and The Bahamas on September 21–23. Structural changes in the hurricane as it moved further north and close to the Outer Banks in the United States ultimately caused Maria to weaken quickly. Turning away from the United States as a weakened tropical storm, it became extratropical on September 30, dissipating 3 days later.
The hurricane caused catastrophic damage across its path in the Caribbean, with 3,057 killed and around $91.6 billion (2017 USD) in damages, making it the third-costliest Atlantic hurricane on record. The islands of Dominica and Puerto Rico experienced the worst impacts of Maria, which was the most intense storm to strike the former, and the worst storm to strike the latter since the 1928 San Felipe Segundo hurricane.
Origins
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) began monitoring two tropical waves on September 13. The eastern wave quickly spun up into what would become Tropical Storm Lee, while the western one continued moving generally westward. With mostly favorable conditions in the disturbance's path, development into a tropical cyclone seemed likely. During those two days the disturbance became better organized, and by September 16, convective banding became established around a poorly-organized circulation. As the system was an imminent threat to land despite the center not appearing to be well-defined, the NHC upgraded it to Potential Tropical Cyclone Fifteen at 12:00 UTC, while situated 665 mi east of Barbados. Post-storm analysis, however, indicated that the disturbance had become a tropical depression at that time. The NHC operationally upgraded the storm to a tropical depression three hours later. A mid-level ridge anchored north of the disturbance steered it generally west-northwest into a region highly favorable for further development.
Sea surface temperatures of 29 C, low wind shear, and ample moisture were anticipated to foster strengthening to hurricane-status before the system reached the Lesser Antilles. As the disturbance continued to grow increasingly well-defined throughout the day, it was upgraded to a tropical storm at 18:00 UTC that day based on satellite estimates, and was given the name Maria. A central dense overcast and favorable outflow developed atop the center of circulation, which enabled Maria to become further organized throughout the early morning hours of September 17. After a brief intrusion of dry air exposed the circulation, a convective burst occurred over the center and intensification resumed. Hurricane Hunters investigating the system observed surface winds of 74 mph and a formative eye feature. Accordingly, the NHC upgraded Maria to hurricane status at 18:00 UTC.
Rapid intensification and Caribbean landfalls
Expansion of the central dense overcast and an increasingly complete eyewall signaled steady intensification throughout the night of September 17–18. Considerable lightning activity was identified within the hurricane's core early on September 18 and statistical models indicated a high probability of rapid intensification. Explosive strengthening took place shortly thereafter, with aircraft reconnaissance finding surface winds of 120 mph and a central pressure of 959 mbar (hPa; 28.32 inHg), making Maria a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale, and hence a major hurricane. Additionally, radar data revealed a well-defined 12 mi wide eye. The eye contracted slightly to 9 mi as intensification continued.
Rapid intensification culminated late on September 18, with Maria achieving Category 5 status just 15 mi (25 km) east-southeast of Dominica. Hurricane Hunters observed surface winds of 160 mph and a pressure of 925 mbar (hPa; 27.32 inHg) at this time, and soon afterward, Maria reached its initial peak intensity with winds of 165 mph (270 km/h) and a central pressure of 922 mbar (hPa; 27.23 inHg). Maria made landfall in Dominica at 01:15 UTC on September 19, becoming the first Category 5 hurricane on record to strike the island nation. Interaction with the high mountains of Dominica imparted slight weakening of the hurricane to Category 4; however, once it had emerged into the Caribbean Sea, Maria quickly regained Category 5 intensity. Additional strengthening took place as the storm tracked northwest toward Puerto Rico. Despite the formation of concentric eyewalls—the larger one spanning 23 to 35 mi and the smaller only 6 mi, signalling the start of an eyewall replacement cycle—the inner violent core remained undisrupted through the afternoon. Maria attained its peak intensity at 03:00 UTC on September 20, roughly 30 mi (45 km) south of St. Croix. Maximum sustained winds reached 175 mph (280 km/h), and the storm's central pressure bottomed out at 908 mbar (hPa; 26.81 inHg); this ranks it as the tenth-most intense Atlantic hurricane since reliable records began.
The hurricane made its closest approach to St. Croix at around 05:00 UTC on September 20, passing within 20 mi (30 km) of the island; the storm's outer eyewall lashed the island while the more violent inner eye remained offshore. Three hours later, at around 08:00 UTC, the outer eyewall struck Vieques, an island off the eastern coast of Puerto Rico. By this time, the outer eyewall became dominant as the inner one decayed, and the eyewall replacement cycle caused Maria to weaken to Category 4 strength. Maria made landfall near Yabucoa, Puerto Rico, at 10:15 UTC, with winds of 155 mph (250 km/h) and a central pressure of 920 mbar (hPa; 27.17 inHg), making it the strongest to hit the island since the 1928 San Felipe Segundo hurricane, which had struck Puerto Rico as a Category 5 hurricane. Additionally, when Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico as a Category 4 storm, following the landfalls of Harvey and Irma, it marked the first time that three Category 4 hurricanes made landfall in the United States within a year, including unincorporated territories.
Post-landfall reintensification
Maria maintained a general west-northwest course across Puerto Rico, emerging over the Atlantic Ocean shortly before 18:00 UTC. Interaction with the mountainous terrain resulted in substantial weakening; sustained winds fell to 110 mph (175 km/h) and the central pressure rose to 959 mbars (hPa; 28.32 inHg). With favorable environmental conditions, Maria steadily reorganized as it moved away from Puerto Rico. A large eye, 45 mi (75 km) wide, developed with deep convection blossoming around it. Early on September 21, the system regained Category 3 intensity.
Initially, cooler waters stirred up by Hurricane Irma two weeks prior limited Maria's reorganization. During the afternoon of September 21, the system traversed the Navidad and Silver banks north of the Dominican Republic; shoaling from the region's shallow waters temporarily interfered with measurements of surface winds. Convection around the storm's eye deepened and its eye became better defined that night, and the hurricane reached a secondary peak with sustained winds of 125 mph (205 km/h). Maria passed 35 to 45 mi east of the Turks and Caicos Islands on September 22. An increase in southwesterly wind shear prompted gradual weakening of the hurricane, starting with restriction of banding features and later degradation of the eyewall. Late on September 22, the hurricane turned north-northwest as it reached the western periphery of the ridge previously steering it northwest.
Maria fluctuated in organization throughout the day of September 23, with its eye periodically clearing and becoming cloud-filled; it maintained Category 3 hurricane strength during this phase. Despite a decreasing central pressure, the storm finally weakened to Category 2 strength at 06:00 UTC on September 24. Hurricane Hunters observed flight-level winds of 116 to 135 mph; however, surface wind returns by the NOAA's Stepped-Frequency Microwave Radiometer were only 90 mph (150 km/h), supportive of a lower intensity. This indicated below-average mixing down of winds aloft. By this time, Maria's trajectory had shifted almost due north between the aforementioned ridge and a cut-off low that was located over the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
Demise
Weakening accelerated later on September 24 into September 25, as the hurricane traversed a cold wake—with sea surface temperatures of 24 –—created by Hurricane Jose a week prior. Maria degraded to Category 1 strength during this time. Early on September 25, Maria's structure changed dramatically as its inner-core collapsed. The low-level circulation became exposed to the northwest, and most of the deep convection shifted to the eastern half of the storm. However, a sustained convective burst maintained Maria's hurricane intensity, with banding features evident on the eastern part of the circulation. Despite this, northwesterly wind shear continued to impinge on the storm, and Maria weakened to a tropical storm early on September 28. Simultaneously, Maria began to accelerate to the east-northeast as it became embedded into the mid-latitude westerlies. Gradually weakening, Maria soon began to move over sea surface temperatures of 23 C and below, causing most of its convection to dissipate. Late on September 30, Maria transitioned into an extratropical cyclone. During the next couple of days, Maria's remnants accelerated east-northeastward towards the United Kingdom, while rapidly weakening. Maria's remnants later dissipated on October 2, to the southwest of Ireland. | WIKI |

El addad {the biter).—The vulva which, when the member has got into it and is burning with passion, opens and shuts again upon the same fiercely. It is chiefly when the ejaculation is coming that the man feels the head of his member bitten by the mouth of the matrix. And certainly there is an attractive power in the same when it clings, yearning for sperm, to the gland, and draws it in as far as it can. If God in his power has decreed that the woman shall become pregnant the sperm gets concentrated in the matrix, where it is gradually vivified; but if, on the contrary, God does not permit the conception, the matrix expels the seed, which then runs over the vagina.
El meusass (the sucker).—This is a vagina which in its amorous heat in consequence of voluptuous toyings, or of long abstinence, begins to suck the member which has entered it so forcibly as to deprive it of all its sperm, dealing with it like a child draws the breast of the mother.
