are to be explained as corruptions of our present Hebrew. Substantially our Hebrew must be pronounced original.
The restoration of a satisfactory text is beyond our hopes. Even before the Christian era the book existed in two recensions, for we cannot doubt, after reading the Greek translator’s preface, that the translator amplified and paraphrased the text before him. It is probable that at least one considerable omission must be laid to his charge, for the hymn preserved in the Hebrew text after ch. li. 12 is almost certainly original. Ancient translators allowed themselves much liberty in their work, and Ecclesiasticus possessed no reputation for canonicity in the 2nd century to serve as a protection for its text. Much, however, may be done towards improving two of the recensions which now lie before us. The incomplete Hebrew text exists in four different MSS., and the study of the peculiarities of these had already proved fruitful. The Syriac text, made without doubt from the Hebrew, though often paraphrastic is often suggestive. The Greek translation, made within a century or half-century of the writing of the book, must possess great value for the criticism of the Hebrew text. The work of restoring true Hebrew readings may proceed with more confidence now that we have considerable portions of the Hebrew text to serve as a model. For the restoration of the Greek text we have, besides many Greek MSS., uncial and cursive, the old Latin, the Syro-Hexaplar, the Armenian, Sahidic and Ethiopic versions, as well as a considerable number of quotations in the Greek and Latin Fathers. Each of the two recensions of the Greek must, however, be separately studied, before any restoration of the original Greek text can be attempted.
The uncertainty of the text has affected both English versions unfavourably. The Authorized Version, following the corrupt cursives, is often wrong. The Revised Version, on the other hand, in following the uncial MSS. sometimes departs from the Hebrew, while the Authorized Version with the cursives agrees with it. Thus the Revised Version (with codd. *, A, B, C) omits the whole of iii. 19, which the Authorized Version retains, but for the clause, “Mysteries are revealed unto the meek,” the Authorized Version has the support of the Hebrew, Syriac and cod. 248. Sometimes both versions go astray in places in which the Hebrew text recommends itself as original by its vigour; e.g. in vii. 26, where the Hebrew is,
Again in ch. xxxviii. the Hebrew text in at least two interesting passages shows its superiority over the text which underlies both English versions. In the second instance, while the Hebrew says that the man who rebels against his Heavenly Benefactor will a fortiori rebel against a human benefactor, the Greek text gives a cynical turn to the verse, “Let the man who rebels against his true benefactor be punished through the tender mercies of a quack.” The Hebrew text is probably superior also in xliv. 1, the opening words of the eulogy of the Fathers: “Let me now praise favoured men,” i.e. men in whom God’s grace was shown. The Hebrew phrase is “men of grace,” as in v. 10. The Greek text of v. 1, “famous men,” seems to be nothing but a loose paraphrase, suggested by v. 2, “The Lord manifested in them great glory.”
In character and contents Ecclesiasticus resembles the book of Proverbs. It consists mainly of maxims which may be described in turn as moral, utilitarian and secular. Occasionally the author attacks prevalent religious opinions, e.g. the denial of free-will (xv. 11-20), or the assertion of God’s indifference towards men’s actions (xxxv. 12-19). Occasionally, again, Ben Sira touches the highest themes, and speaks of the nature of God: “He is All” (xliii. 27); “He is One from everlasting” (xlii. 21, Heb. text); “The mercy of the Lord is upon all flesh” (xviii. 13). Though the book is imitative and secondary in character it contains several passages of force and beauty, e.g. ch. ii. (how to fear the Lord); xv. 11-20 (on free-will); xxiv. 1-22 (the song of wisdom); xlii. 15-25 (praise of the works of the Lord); xliv. 1-15 (the well-known praise of famous men). Many detached sayings scattered throughout the book show a depth of insight, or a practical shrewdness, or again a power of concise speech, which stamps them on the memory. A few examples out of many may be cited. “Call no man blessed before his death” (xi. 28); “He that toucheth pitch shall be defiled” (xiii. 1); “He hath not given any man licence to sin” (xv. 20); “Man cherisheth anger against man; and doth he seek healing from the Lord?” (xxviii. 3); “Mercy is seasonable as clouds of rain” (xxxv. 20); “All things are double one against another: and he hath made nothing imperfect” (xlii. 24, the motto of Butler’s Analogy); “Work your work before the time cometh, and in his time he will give you your reward” (li. 30). In spite, however, of the words just quoted it cannot be said that Ben Sira preaches a hopeful religion. Though he prays, “Renew thy signs, and repeat thy wonders Fill Sion with thy majesty and thy Temple with thy glory” (xxxvi. 6, 14 [19], Heb. text), he does not look for a Messiah. Of the resurrection of the dead or of the immortality of the soul there is no word, not even in xli. 1-4, where the author exhorts men not to fear death. Like the Psalmist (Ps. lxxxviii. 10, 11) he asks, “Who shall give praise to the Most High in the grave?” In his maxims of life he shows a somewhat frigid and narrow mind. He is a pessimist as regards women; “From a woman was the beginning of sin; and because of her we all die” (xxv. 24). He does not believe in home-spun wisdom; “How shall he become wise that holdeth the plough?” (xxxviii. 25). Artificers are not expected to pray like the wise man; “In the handywork of their craft is their prayer” (v. 34). Merchants are expected to cheat; “Sin will thrust itself in between buying and selling” (xxvii. 2).
ECGBERT, or (d. 839), king of the West Saxons, succeeded to the throne in 802 on the death of Beorhtric. It is said that at an earlier period in his life he had been driven out for three years by Offa and Beorhtric. The accession of Ecgbert seems to have brought about an invasion by Æthelmund, earl of the Hwicce, who was defeated by Weoxtan, earl of Wiltshire. In 815 Ecgbert ravaged the whole of the territories of the West Welsh, which probably at this time did not include much more than Cornwall. The next important occurrence in the reign was the defeat of Beornwulf of Mercia at a place called Ellandun in 825. After this victory Kent, Surrey, Sussex and Essex submitted to Wessex; while the East Anglians, who slew Beornwulf shortly afterwards, acknowledged Ecgbert as overlord. In 829 the king conquered Mercia, and Northumbria accepted him as overlord. In 830 he led a successful expedition against the Welsh. In 836 he was defeated by the Danes, but in 838 he won a battle against them and their allies the West Welsh at Hingston Down in Cornwall. Ecgbert died in 839, after a reign of thirty-seven years, and was succeeded by his son Æthelwulf. A somewhat difficult question has arisen as to the parentage of Ecgbert.

Namuli apalis
The Namuli apalis (Apalis lynesi) is a small African passerine bird belonging to the genus Apalis in the family Cisticolidae. It was formerly considered as a subspecies of the bar-throated apalis.
It is the only bird species endemic to Mozambique and is found only in the Mount Namuli massif in the north of the country where it was first discovered in 1932 by the English-born ornithologist Jack Vincent. There were no more records until an expedition rediscovered it in 1998. The bird is now known to be common in forest, forest edge and woodland patches above 1200 m. Logging of the forest is a potential threat but it appears to survive well in degraded and fragmented habitat.
It has a grey crown and nape and black throat and breast. The rest of the underparts are yellow and the upperparts are green. The outer tail-feathers are white. The bird is 11 to 12 cm long. The male and female have different calls and duet with the female responding to the male's call.
It feeds mainly on insects and other small invertebrates but also eats some seeds and berries. It forages in pairs or small groups, often feeding on the ground or making short flights into the air.
The nest is a dome of moss built at least one metre above the ground. | WIKI |
Specifying the number of connections and poll threads
The optimum number of connections per poll thread is approximately 300 for uniprocessor computers and up to 350 for multiprocessor computers, although this can vary depending on the platform and database server workload.
A poll thread can support 1024 or more connections. If the FASTPOLL configuration parameter is enabled, you might be able to configure fewer poll threads, but test the performance to determine the optimal configuration for your environment.
Each NETTYPE entry configures the number of poll threads for a specific connection type, the number of connections per poll thread, and the type of virtual-processor class in which those poll threads run. If the number of connections per thread exceeds 350 and the number of poll threads for the current connection type is less than the number of CPU VPs, you can improve performance by specifying the CPU VP class, adding poll threads (do not exceed the number of CPU VPs), and resetting the number of connections per thread. The default number of connections per thread is 50.
Important: Each ipcshm connection requires a semaphore. Some operating systems require that you configure a maximum number of semaphores that can be requested by all software packages that run on the computer. For best performance, double the number of actual ipcshm connections when you allocate semaphores for shared-memory communications. See UNIX semaphore parameters.
If your computer is a uniprocessor and your database server instance is configured for only one connection type, you can omit the NETTYPE parameter. The database server uses the information that is provided in the sqlhosts information to establish client/server connections.
If your computer is a uniprocessor and your database server instance is configured for more than one connection type, include a separate NETTYPE entry for each connection type. If the number of connections of any one type significantly exceeds 300, assign two or more poll threads, up to a maximum of the number of CPU VPs, and specify NET for a network VP class, as the following example shows:
NETTYPE ipcshm,1,50,CPU
NETTYPE tlitcp,2,200,NET # supports 400 connections
For ipcshm, the number of poll threads correspond to the number of memory segments. For example, if NETTYPE is set to 3,100 and you want one poll thread, set the poll thread to 1,300.
If your computer is a multiprocessor, your database server instance is configured for only one connection type, and the number of connections does not exceed 350, you can use NETTYPE to specify a single poll thread on either the CPU or a network VP class. If the number of connections exceeds 350, set the VP class type to NET, increase the number of poll threads, and recalculate conn_per_thread.
Important: Carefully distinguish between poll threads for network connections and poll threads for shared memory connections, which run one per CPU virtual processor. Configure TCP connections to run in network virtual processors, and configure the minimum that is needed to maintain responsiveness. Configure shared memory connections to run in every CPU virtual processor.

Something within him protested that he was a hot-headed ass even as he went towards the door again. But he only went on the more resolutely. He crossed the hall, by the bar, and entered the room from which the remark had proceeded. He opened the door abruptly and stood scowling on them in the doorway. "You'll only make a mess of it," remarked the internal sceptic. There were five men in the room altogether: a fat person, with a long pipe and a great number of chins, in an arm-chair by the fireplace, who wished Mr. Hoopdriver a good evening very affably; a young fellow smoking a cutty and displaying crossed legs with gaiters; a little, bearded man with a toothless laugh; a middle-aged, comfortable man with bright eyes, who wore a velveteen jacket; and a fair young man, very genteel in a yellowish-brown ready-made suit and a white tie.

Developing a Chat Application with C# (Client)
Developing a chat application in C# involves creating both a server and a client component to facilitate real-time communication. In this example, we'll focus on the client-side part by providing a basic code snippet for a chat client. A complete chat application would also include the server-side component for message routing.
Sample C# Code for Chat Client
Here's a basic example of C# code for a simple chat client using .NET Sockets:
using System;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;
using System.Windows.Forms;
class ChatClient
{
private TcpClient client;
private NetworkStream stream;
private string serverAddress;
private int serverPort;
private bool isConnected;
public ChatClient(string address, int port)
{
serverAddress = address;
serverPort = port;
isConnected = false;
client = new TcpClient();
ConnectToServer();
}
public void ConnectToServer()
{
try
{
client.Connect(serverAddress, serverPort);
stream = client.GetStream();
isConnected = true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Unable to connect to the server: " + ex.Message);
}
}
public void SendMessage(string message)
{
if (!isConnected)
{
MessageBox.Show("Not connected to the server.");
return;
}
byte[] data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(message);
stream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
}
public void StartListening()
{
Thread receiveThread = new Thread(ReceiveMessages);
receiveThread.Start();
}
private void ReceiveMessages()
{
while (true)
{
byte[] data = new byte[256];
int bytes = stream.Read(data, 0, data.Length);
string message = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(data, 0, bytes);
// Display the received message in the chat box.
AppendToChatBox("Server: " + message);
}
}
private void AppendToChatBox(string text)
{
// Replace this function with your own logic to display messages in the chat box.
// In a real application, you would update the chat box in the user interface.
Console.WriteLine(text);
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
var chatClient = new ChatClient("server_ip_address", 12345);
chatClient.StartListening();
string message;
do
{
message = Console.ReadLine();
chatClient.SendMessage(message);
} while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(message));
}
}
This code defines a `ChatClient` class that connects to a chat server, sends messages, and listens for incoming messages. The `ReceiveMessages` method is a placeholder and should be replaced with your own logic to display incoming messages in the chat box.
Sample HTML Chat Interface
For the client's user interface, you can create an HTML chat box element. Replace the function `AppendToChatBox` in the C# code with your logic to update the chat box in the user interface. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
The King as a symbol of Justice
Looking for information on galleys and other data for my research, I have come across a document that we could say talks about justice and prisoners’ rights. As the document is short and forceful, I have thought it would be a good idea to present it to you. The king was the embodiment of justice during the Old Regime. He was seen as the perfect judge and for this reason the figure of the "righteous king" is a recurring entity in the literature of the Spanish Golden Age. Royal justice contrasted with lordly justice. This last one was applied by a feudal lord within his demarcation and in short, it was much more capricious and unfair. In general, for serfs / subjects, it was much worse to be under lordly than royal jurisdiction and that is why many municipalities tried "to buy their freedom" from their lords to be under royal rule. Just as my hometown Lloret de Mar did on the late date of 1790, when it wanted to compensate with 8,000 pounds to their lord, the Bishop of Girona, for the loss of his rights (the lawsuit was successfully resolved for the people of Lloret in 1802).
General Archive of the Crown of Aragon (ACA), C, Reg. Núm. 3901, ff. 215r. and 216v.
Although lordly abuses and atrocities (evil customs, mals usos) were much more characteristic during the medieval period (let’s remember the famous remences peasant revolts against lordly mals usos in Late Medieval Catalonia), in the Early Modern Age those abuses continued to exist. This is where the document comes in. King Philip II wrote to his viceroy of Aragon in 1561, that through different officers he had received information about:
The excesses and mistreatment that are done in the lands of barons to prisoners due to bad jails, harsh modes of prisons and other things witnessed with these prisoners in such a way that some of them have lost their feet from being in stocks [traps] and others have died and have been badly treated by uncomfortable and cruel prisons and dungeons (...) which many barons have on their lands (...). And because the prisons are not for punishment but for custody, and it is not fair that the unfortunate prisoners are compelled in so many ways, we command you to visit and examine the mentioned prisons in accordance with the Royal Pragmatics and to reform them as appropriate so that people no longer be mistreated (...), [for] being dangerous to the health and life of the people, and closing the other jails, prisons and stocks that seem rough and harsh to you and that cannot be humanely suffered.
It sounds pretty cool for the time, doesn't it? But hey, remember that around this same time, the same king in need of rowers for his galleys amended the laws so that almost all the sentences condemned the “fit criminals” (men from 17 years old, without physical defects) to row in the galleys. Those criminals included not only murderers, rapists and thieves, but also beggars, gypsies, homosexuals or adulterers.

Suppression of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) replication with a DNA vaccine encoding MCMV M84 (a homolog of human cytomegalovirus pp65)

Abstract
The cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against the murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) immediate-early gene 1 (IE1) 89-kDa phosphoprotein pp89 plays a major role in protecting BALB/c mice against the lethal effects of the viral infection. CTL populations specific to MCMV early-phase and structural antigens are also generated during infection, but the identities of these antigens and their relative contributions to overall immunity against MCMV are not known. We previously demonstrated that DNA vaccination with a pp89-expressing plasmid effectively generated a CTL response and conferred protection against infection (J. C. Gonzalez Armas, C. S. Morello, L. D. Cranmer, and D. H. Spector, J. Virol. 70:7921-7928, 1996). In this report, we have sought (i) to identify other viral antigens that contribute to immunity against MCMV and (ii) to determine whether the protective response is haplotype specific. DNA immunization was used to test the protective efficacies of plasmids encoding MCMV homologs of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) tegument (M32, M48, M56, M82, M83, M69, and M99), capsid (M85 and M86), and nonstructural antigens (IE1-pp89 and M84). BALB/c (H-2(d)) and C3H/HeN (H-2(k)) mice were immunized by intradermal injection of either single plasmids or cocktails of up to four expression plasmids and then challenged with sublethal doses of virulent MCMV administered intraperitoneally. In this way, we identified a new viral gene product, M84, that conferred protection against viral replication in the spleens of BALB/c mice. M84 is expressed early in the infection and encodes a nonstructural protein that shares significant amino acid homology with the HCMV UL83-pp65 tegument protein, a major target of protective CTLs in humans. Specificity of the immune response to the M84 protein was confirmed by showing that immunization with pp89 DNA, but not M84 DNA, protected mice against subsequent infection with an MCMV deletion mutant lacking the M84 gene. The other MCMV genes tested did not generate a protective response even when mice were immunized with vaccinia viruses expressing the viral proteins. However, the M84 plasmid was protective when injected in combination with nonprotective plasmids, and coimmunization of BALB/c mice with pp89 and M84 provided a synergistic level of protection in the spleen. Viral titers in the salivary glands were also reduced, but not to the same extent as observed in the spleen, and the decrease was seen only when the BALB/c mice were immunized with pp89 plus M84 or with pp89 alone. The experiments with the C3H/HeN mice showed that the immunity conferred by DNA vaccination was haplotype dependent. In this strain of mice, only pp89 elicited a protective response as measured by a reduction in spleen titer. These results suggest that DNA immunization with the appropriate combination of CMV genes may provide a strategy for improving vaccine efficacy.

Does B12 help muscle growth?
Does B12 help muscle growth?
B12 is a vitamin. Vitamin B12 aids in the production of red blood cells, which are essential for transporting oxygen to the muscles. It also ensures that the brain and muscles communicate effectively, influencing muscular development and coordination. Vitamin B12 may also play a role in promoting muscle growth.
The best sources of B12 are fish products (such as salmon), meat products, milk, and dairy products. Plant-based foods contain very little B12; however, some mushrooms, yeast, and eggs are relatively high in B12. You can get B12 from food sources only when you eat them together with bacteria that produce this vitamin inside our bodies. Since we do not have natural bacteria in our gut anymore, it is important that we supplement with B12.
If you're looking for a dietary supplement that contains B12, then look for one that contains methylcobalamin. Methylcobalamin is the form of B12 that can be used by the body and has the most potential to boost muscle growth. However, cyanocobalamin is also available and works in similar ways as methylcobalamin but does not have as many effects on muscle growth. Therefore, if you can't afford methylcobalamin, then cyanocobalamin will do the trick instead.
Taking B12 supplements can make you feel better if you're suffering from depression or anxiety.
How does B12 help the body?
Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that aids in the health of your body's blood and nerve cells, as well as the production of DNA, the genetic material found in all of your cells. Vitamin B12 also aids in the prevention of megaloblastic anemia, a blood disorder that causes fatigue and weakness. Women who are pregnant should consider taking a vitamin B12 supplement because their bodies cannot produce this essential vitamin.
B12 helps your body maintain healthy nerves by promoting the growth of neurons (the brain's command centers) and protecting them from damage. It also plays a role in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that transmit information between neurons. Neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine help control mood, sleep, appetite, and other behaviors important for maintaining mental fitness.
When you lack B12 in your system, your nerve cells will not receive the necessary nutrients they need to function properly. This can lead to cognitive impairment, memory problems, difficulty thinking clearly, confusion, depression, anxiety, trouble sleeping, and others related to neurological dysfunction. Because of this critical role it plays in brain health, individuals who do not consume enough B12 may be at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia later in life.
Those who eat a vegetarian diet without supplements are at high risk for B12 deficiency due to the fact that plants do not contain this vital nutrient.
Are there any benefits to taking vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12 is a vitamin that aids in the health of the body's nerve and blood cells as well as the production of DNA, the genetic material found in all cells. Vitamin B12 also aids in the prevention of a kind of anemia known as megaloblastic anemia, which causes fatigue and weakness. It may also have other effects on the body that we don't fully understand yet.
Taking vitamin B12 can help prevent certain diseases from developing. This includes pernicious anemia, which doesn't develop until about 90% of the normal amount of vitamin B12 is in the body. During this time, the patient does not produce enough vitamin B12 to maintain healthy nerves, blood cells, and DNA. Those who already have pernicious anemia but are still able to make some type of vitamin B12 may benefit from treatment with this vitamin.
People who regularly eat fish or other animals products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt that contain high levels of vitamin B12 were often used to cure patients with deficiency. Today, injections are used instead because food sources do not provide enough nutrition to meet the needs of these patients.
There are many studies showing that people who take vitamin B12 experience fewer illnesses and die younger than those who do not. However, these studies only show that those who take vitamin B12 are more likely to live longer. They cannot determine if vitamin B12 actually causes people to live longer.
What does B12 do for your nervous system?
Vitamin B12, commonly known as cobalamin, performs a variety of metabolic processes. It aids in the reduction of homocysteine levels, therefore preserving the heart and blood vessels. It is required for appropriate nerve function and is involved in cell division and blood production. Vitamin B12 is found only in animal products such as meat, fish, milk, and eggs. Plant-based foods are generally not high in vitamin B12 and must be supplemented with this vitamin.
B12 is best known for its role in preventing neural tube defects such as spina bifida by helping protect cells from damage caused by homocysteine. A diet low in nutrients like vitamin B12 can increase your risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Eating more foods that are high in fiber may help reduce your risk of developing neurological problems.
B12 is also needed to make DNA and RNA molecules. Without enough B12, you would experience symptoms of flu-like illness such as fever, fatigue, headache, and muscle pain. This is because B12 is necessary to make new cells grow properly. People who suffer from chronic fatigue should talk to their doctor about taking B12 supplements.
Why do you need vitamin B12 in your diet?
Vitamin B12 has been connected to everything from normal red blood cell activity to a healthy neurological system to the generation of new DNA. While it is preferable to obtain vitamin B12 through meals whenever feasible, supplements can help you achieve your requirements, especially if you have an underlying disease that interferes with the way the vitamin is absorbed. Women who are or may become pregnant should take special care to ensure they get enough vitamin B12 in their diets; therefore, supplements are an excellent option for these individuals.
The body uses B12 to make certain cells function properly. These include cells that are involved in immune response, nerve transmission, and the production of genetic material (DNA). Healthy people usually require no more than one hundred micrograms (mcg) of B12 per day. The recommended daily amount for most adults is two thousand five hundred mcg; however, some research indicates that more than four thousand mcg may be needed by those with severe alcoholism or eating disorders.
Those who do not eat meat or milk products, those who abuse alcohol, and those who suffer from gastrointestinal diseases may all lack sufficient amounts of B12 in their systems. Even if you meet your daily dietary requirement, you might not be absorbing all of the B12 you consume if something is interfering with its ability to be absorbed, such as when you eat food that is acidic or spicy. Supplementation is a good idea for anyone who does not ingest adequate amounts of vitamin B12 through their diet.

Just what!? Standart rand() in C++ or undeniable proof of the existence of magic!
Revision en3, by seo, 2019-02-15 14:29:11
Until recently, I knew that rand() in C++ works awfully with random_shuffle and it was not credible, but continued to use it for most tasks.. But recently I wrote some code and I cannot explain the result. Maybe you can?
I advise you to read to the end, it is really very interesting!
At each step, this code generates a random value from 0 to 1. As soon as 11 (for example) identical values equal 1 were received in a row, index number of current value is added to the vector. This operation is repeated a number of times and each time it starts from the beginning.
Let's output vector values and look at the last 15 of them for convenience.
Code here:
CODE
OUTPUT1
OUTPUT2
OUTPUT3
OUTPUT4
At first glance it seems that the values are random. But let's try to sort the vector.
Code here:
CODE
OUTPUT1
OUTPUT2
OUTPUT3
OUTPUT4
It should be noted that the output is different each time, but the individual values are the same. Moreover, these individual values are repeated three to four times.
• Using of mt19937 rnd(chrono::steady_clock::now().time_since_epoch().count()); instead of rand() gives a random output array.
• If we add a line that will not affect the answer in any way, but will affect the time difference between the rand() calls we also get random values in the output array. In doing so, we have to use random delay. If the delay is fixed, we will not get random values.
CODE1, rnd(), normal random values
CODE2, random delay between calls rand(), normal random values
With a fixed delay, we also get magic values, even if the delay is large.
CODE3, fixed delay between calls rand(), magic values
Now let's instead of an empty loop in the third code call rand().
CODE
OUTPUT1
OUTPUT2
OUTPUT3
Values become repeated much more often..
CODE
OUTPUT
If we call the method twice, the values are repeated more often.
I believe that this is not quite a trivial algorithm and the result is rather strange. If you have any idea how to explain this, please state your thoughts in the comments. Thanks for reading!

The Third Jihad: Radical Islam's Vision For America
The Third Jihad: Radical Islam's Vision For America is a 2008 documentary style film directed by Wayne Kopping of South Africa and Erik Werth. It was produced by Werth and Raphael Shore, a Canadian-Israeli, with financing from the Clarion Project, an organization described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an anti-Muslim group.
The film dwells on the idea of an alleged threat to the United States by radical Islam using a Muslim Brotherhood document accepted as evidence in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development terror financing trial. Based on the document, the filmmakers contend that radical Islamists are engaging in a "multifaceted strategy to overcome the western world," waging a "cultural jihad" to "infiltrate and undermine our society from within". The film is narrated by Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, a controversial Muslim American.
The film later created widespread controversy when media discovered that it was being shown to New York Police Department recruits purportedly as a training video.
Production
Raphael Shore, producer of Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West, and founder of the Clarion Fund is the producer of The Third Jihad. The film was directed and edited by Wayne Kopping, who was also the Director, Editor, and Co-Writer of Obsession. Co-Directing and Co-Producing the film was Erik Werth. The film is narrated by American Muslim Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser.
The film uses video clips from American Broadcasting Company (ABC), Fox News Channel, MSNBC, CNN, As-Sahab media production house of the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization, Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), Islamic Republic of Iran News Network (IRINN), Al-Aqsa TV and other non-specified news outlets.
Synopsis
According to the filmmakers website, the film "reveals that radical Islamists driven by a religiously motivated rejection of western values cultures and religion are engaging in a multifaceted strategy to overcome the western world." In contrast to the concept of violent jihad, the filmmakers introduce the concept of "cultural jihad as a means to infiltrate and undermine our society from within." The overriding theme from their perspective is how this "cultural jihad" is a threat to United States national security. The film contains excerpts of speeches by Islamic organizations and terrorist groups, includes interviews with government officials, interspersed with footage of terrorist attacks, human rights violations, and growing support of jihadist movements. A distinction is drawn between radical Islam and Islam as a whole. An article in The New York Times states that " portrays many mainstream American Muslim leaders as closet radical Islamists, and states that their “primary tactic” is deception.".
Persons interviewed in the film include: former Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Director of the American Center for Democracy Rachel Ehrenfeld, founder and president of the Alliance of Iranian Women Manda Zand Ervin, former Jammaa Islameia terrorist Dr. Tawfik Hamid, British columnist and author Melanie Phillips, Cleveland E. Dodge Professor Emeritus of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University Bernard Lewis, Wayne Simmons, founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies Walid Phares, head of Masjid Al Islam mosque in Washington, DC Imam Abdul Alim Musa, Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, former CIA Intelligence Expert Clare Lopez, FBI Assistant Director for Public Affairs John Miller, President of the National Ten Point Leadership Foundation Rev. Eugene Rivers, journalist and author Mark Steyn, former CIA Director during the Clinton Administration Jim Woolsey, and Police Commissioner of New York City Raymond Kelly.
Use by NYPD for training
The film was used to train New York Police Department officers during required counterterrorism training. One officer who viewed the film at an NYPD training facility stated "It was so ridiculously one-sided, it just made Muslims look like the enemy. It was straight propaganda". Members of the City Council, civil rights advocates, and Muslim leaders objected to the Department's use of the film. Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said that it "never should have shown to officers," stating "it was reviewed and found to be inappropriate."
In January 2012, The New York Times reported that documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act indicated that 1,498 officers viewed the film during the period it was used for training. Police Commissioner of New York City Raymond Kelly, who was interviewed in the film, later stated he considered that decision a mistake and called the film "objectionable."
Promotion and endorsements
Fox News Channel Hannity showed a preview of the documentary live on December 22, 2009. The Third Jihad received endorsements from former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani, U.S. Senator Jon Kyl, U.S. Representatives Trent Franks and Sue Myrick, among others. | WIKI |

Plague Over England
Plague Over England is a play written by Nicholas de Jongh, based on a real-life incident when actor John Gielgud was arrested for lewd behavior in 1953; it provides an insight into the changes in the lives of gay people over the last fifty years. It received universally positive reviews when it received its world premiere at the Finborough Theatre in 2008, and subsequently transferred to the West End with an updated cast for a limited run.
Plot summary
On 21 October 1953, John Gielgud was arrested in a public lavatory after being entrapped by a "pretty policeman". There followed a high-profile court case, reenacted in Plague Over England.
Productions
The Evening Standard critic Nicholas de Jongh's first play premiered at the Finborough Theatre in February 2008, and transferred to the West End's Duchess Theatre in February 2009, with Michael Feast as Gielgud and Celia Imrie as Sybil Thorndike. The cast included: Michael Brown, David Burt, Simon Dutton, Steven Hansell, Sam Heughan, Hugh Ross and John Warnaby. It was directed by Tamara Harvey.
Reception
The production received largely positive reviews, many particularly praising Imrie and Feast. However, despite rave reviews, the production closed two weeks early on 2 May 2009.
Critic quotes
* "...Michael Feast, who knew Gielgud personally, gives a beautifully deft tragi-comic performance as the great actor, at once unworldly, lecherous, self-mocking and full of fear...Celia Imrie offers a delicious double as a touchingly sympathetic Sybil Thorndike... bravo!" Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph.
* "Lively...arresting." Benedict Nightingale, The Times.
* "Compelling...a terrific first play." The Evening Standard.

James Caldwell Prestwich
James Caldwell Prestwich (1852–1940) was an English architect.
Background
Prestwich was born in Atherton, Lancashire and educated at Leigh and Nantwich Grammar Schools.
Career
Prestwich trained to be an architect in London and returned to Leigh in 1875 to start an architectural practice which he worked in until 1930 and which was continued by his son. He produced many buildings in Leigh and Nicholas Pevsner remarked that, "Any building of any merit (in Leigh) which is not a church or a mill is almost certainly by the local firm of J.C. Prestwich & Sons, capable – sometimes very capable – in a number of styles." J. C. Prestwich & Sons included Prestwich and two of his sons: Harold Oswald Prestwich and Ernest Prestwich.
Works
Several of Prestwich's buildings survive including the Central Buildings on Bradshawgate which were built for the Leigh Friendly Co-operative Society, Leigh Cenotaph, Leigh Technical School and Library on Railway Road, Leigh Town Hall, Leigh Infirmary and numerous shop, public house and business premises and houses in Pennington. Other buildings have been demolished including Leigh Public Baths and Leigh Union workhouse hospital. Prestwich designed other public buildings including Tyldesley Library and Atherton Town Hall. Further afield he designed public baths in Stockport, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Northampton and schools in Atherton, Southport, Birkdale and Hindley.
Institutions
Prestwich was a fellow of the Manchester Society of Architects and practised until 1930. His son Harold joined the practice in 1908. | WIKI |

HTML Question
how to set a variable inside script tag
I have a page name index.php. And I have a script variable as follows at the top of the page:
<script>
var search_quarry = "some_test";
</script>
At the bottom of the same page I want to add this variable into the

<script src=NEED_TO_ADD_HERE></script>
This doesn't work:
<script src=search_quarry> </script>
Can anyone please tell me how to do this?
Answer Source
You'd need to do with DOM manipulation:
var search_query = 'some_test';
s = document.createElement('script');
s.src = search_query;
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);
or, as an alternative, though I'm not sure if this'd work:

-- S&P Downgrades Hungary Banks After Cutting Country Grade to Junk
Standard & Poor’s downgraded four
Hungarian banks after lowering Hungary ’s credit rating to non-
investment grade earlier this week. The rating company cut OTP Bank Nyrt. (OTP) , the nation’s largest
lender, and its core subsidiary OTP Mortgage Bank to BB+ and B,
respectively, from BBB- and A-3 and removed them from
CreditWatch negative, S&P said in a statement today. The outlook
on both banks is negative, it said. Hungary lost its investment-grade rating at S&P on Dec. 22,
the second downgrade in a month, as a result of weakening policy
credibility and concern that oversight institutions are losing
independence, S&P said. The International Monetary Fund and
European Union suspended financial aid talks last week, accusing
the government of trying to rein in the central bank. The decision “reflects the banks’ exposure to the
sovereign through the Hungarian bonds in their securities
portfolios, the deteriorating operating environment, and the
consequences of unfriendly measures the government has imposed
on the Hungarian banking system since 2010,” S&P said. S&P cut the unsolicited public information ratings on K&H
Bank Zrt., a subsidiary of KBC Groep NV, to BBpi from BBB-pi and
revised the outlook on Magyar Takarekszovetkezeti Bank Zrt. to
negative from stable, according to the statement. To contact the reporter on this story:

Proteinogenic amino acid
Proteinogenic amino acids are amino acids that are incorporated biosynthetically into proteins during translation. The word "proteinogenic" means "protein creating". Throughout known life, there are 22 genetically encoded (proteinogenic) amino acids, 20 in the standard genetic code and an additional 2 (selenocysteine and pyrrolysine) that can be incorporated by special translation mechanisms.
In contrast, non-proteinogenic amino acids are amino acids that are either not incorporated into proteins (like GABA, L -DOPA, or triiodothyronine), misincorporated in place of a genetically encoded amino acid, or not produced directly and in isolation by standard cellular machinery (like hydroxyproline). The latter often results from post-translational modification of proteins. Some non-proteinogenic amino acids are incorporated into nonribosomal peptides which are synthesized by non-ribosomal peptide synthetases.
Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes can incorporate selenocysteine into their proteins via a nucleotide sequence known as a SECIS element, which directs the cell to translate a nearby UGA codon as selenocysteine (UGA is normally a stop codon). In some methanogenic prokaryotes, the UAG codon (normally a stop codon) can also be translated to pyrrolysine.
In eukaryotes, there are only 21 proteinogenic amino acids, the 20 of the standard genetic code, plus selenocysteine. Humans can synthesize 12 of these from each other or from other molecules of intermediary metabolism. The other nine must be consumed (usually as their protein derivatives), and so they are called essential amino acids. The essential amino acids are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine (i.e. H, I, L, K, M, F, T, W, V).
The proteinogenic amino acids have been found to be related to the set of amino acids that can be recognized by ribozyme autoaminoacylation systems. Thus, non-proteinogenic amino acids would have been excluded by the contingent evolutionary success of nucleotide-based life forms. Other reasons have been offered to explain why certain specific non-proteinogenic amino acids are not generally incorporated into proteins; for example, ornithine and homoserine cyclize against the peptide backbone and fragment the protein with relatively short half-lives, while others are toxic because they can be mistakenly incorporated into proteins, such as the arginine analog canavanine.
The evolutionary selection of certain proteinogenic amino acids from the primordial soup has been suggested to be because of their better incorporation into a polypeptide chain as opposed to non-proteinogenic amino acids.
Structures
The following illustrates the structures and abbreviations of the 21 amino acids that are directly encoded for protein synthesis by the genetic code of eukaryotes. The structures given below are standard chemical structures, not the typical zwitterion forms that exist in aqueous solutions.
Chemical properties
Following is a table listing the one-letter symbols, the three-letter symbols, and the chemical properties of the side chains of the standard amino acids. The masses listed are based on weighted averages of the elemental isotopes at their natural abundances. Forming a peptide bond results in elimination of a molecule of water. Therefore, the protein's mass is equal to the mass of amino acids the protein is composed of minus 18.01524 Da per peptide bond.
Side-chain properties
§: Values for Asp, Cys, Glu, His, Lys & Tyr were determined using the amino acid residue placed centrally in an alanine pentapeptide. The value for Arg is from Pace et al. (2009). The value for Sec is from Byun & Kang (2011).
N.D.: The pKa value of Pyrrolysine has not been reported.
Note: The pKa value of an amino-acid residue in a small peptide is typically slightly different when it is inside a protein. Protein pKa calculations are sometimes used to calculate the change in the pKa value of an amino-acid residue in this situation.
Gene expression and biochemistry
* UAG is normally the amber stop codon, but in organisms containing the biological machinery encoded by the pylTSBCD cluster of genes the amino acid pyrrolysine will be incorporated.
** UGA is normally the opal (or umber) stop codon, but encodes selenocysteine if a SECIS element is present.
† The stop codon is not an amino acid, but is included for completeness.
†† UAG and UGA do not always act as stop codons (see above).
‡ An essential amino acid cannot be synthesized in humans and must, therefore, be supplied in the diet. Conditionally essential amino acids are not normally required in the diet, but must be supplied exogenously to specific populations that do not synthesize it in adequate amounts.
& Occurrence of amino acids is based on 135 Archaea, 3775 Bacteria, 614 Eukaryota proteomes and human proteome (21 006 proteins) respectively.
Mass spectrometry
In mass spectrometry of peptides and proteins, knowledge of the masses of the residues is useful. The mass of the peptide or protein is the sum of the residue masses plus the mass of water (Monoisotopic mass = 18.01056 Da; average mass = 18.0153 Da). The residue masses are calculated from the tabulated chemical formulas and atomic weights. In mass spectrometry, ions may also include one or more protons (Monoisotopic mass = 1.00728 Da; average mass* = 1.0074 Da). *Protons cannot have an average mass, this confusingly infers to Deuterons as a valid isotope, but they should be a different species (see Hydron (chemistry))
§ Monoisotopic mass
Stoichiometry and metabolic cost in cell
The table below lists the abundance of amino acids in E.coli cells and the metabolic cost (ATP) for synthesis of the amino acids. Negative numbers indicate the metabolic processes are energy favorable and do not cost net ATP of the cell. The abundance of amino acids includes amino acids in free form and in polymerization form (proteins).
Catabolism
Amino acids can be classified according to the properties of their main products:
* Glucogenic, with the products having the ability to form glucose by gluconeogenesis
* Ketogenic, with the products not having the ability to form glucose: These products may still be used for ketogenesis or lipid synthesis.

David Hare (artist)
David Hare (March 10, 1917 – December 21, 1992) was an American artist, associated with the Surrealist movement. He is primarily known for his sculpture, though he also worked extensively in photography and painting. The VVV Surrealism Magazine was first published and edited by Hare in 1942.
Early life and education
Born March 10, 1917, in New York City, New York to father Meredith Hare, a lawyer and mother Elizabeth Sage Goodwin, an art collector. In the 1920s the family moved first to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and later to Colorado Springs, Colorado, in hope that the fresh air would help heal Meredith Hare's tuberculosis. His mother founded the Fountain Valley School, where David attended high school. After high school Hare married and moved to Roxbury, Connecticut, where he worked as a color photographer.
He attended Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson from 1936 to 1937, studying biology and chemistry.
In the late 1930s, with no previous artistic training, he began to experiment with color photography. Using his previous education in chemistry Hare developed an automatist technique called "heatage" in which he heated the unfixed negative from an 8 by 10-inch plate, causing the image to ripple and distort.
Career
Hare's Surrealist experiments in photography were only one of his many projects. In 1938 he met Susanna Winslow Wilson and the couple soon married. Both David and Susanna pursued their interests in Surrealism and regularly attended Surrealist gatherings in New York Larre French restaurant on 56th street and at Breton's Greenwich Village apartment. In 1940 he received a commission from the American Museum of Natural History to document the Pueblo Indians of the American Southwest, for which he eventually produced 20 prints developed using Eastman Kodak's then-new dye transfer process (a time-consuming and complicated technique). In the same year, he also opened his own commercial photography studio in New York City and exhibited his photographs in a solo show at the Julien Levy Gallery.
In the next few years, through his cousin the painter Kay Sage, he came into contact with a number of Surrealist artists who had fled their native Europe because of World War II. Hare became closely involved with the émigré Surrealist movement and collaborated closely with them on projects such as the Surrealist journal VVV, which he cofounded and edited from 1941 to 1944 with André Breton, Max Ernst, and Marcel Duchamp. David and Susanna divorced in 1945 and Breton’s wife Jacqueline Lamba left Andre for Hare. Breton wrote a book of poems titled How To Protect Young Cherry Trees From Hares that was illustrated by Arshile Gorky, in lamentation.
Hare began to experiment with Surrealist sculpture, which soon became his primary focus, and exhibited his work as solo shows in a number of prestigious venues, including Peggy Guggenheim's The Art of This Century gallery.
In 1948, Hare, Barnett Newman, William Baziotes, Mark Rothko and Robert Motherwell founded the Subjects of the Artist School at 35 East 8th Street. Well attended lectures there were open to the public, with speakers such as Jean Arp, John Cage and Ad Reinhardt, but the art school failed financially and closed in the spring of 1949. Hare continued to be closely associated with influential artists and thinkers throughout the late 1940s and 1950s, counting Jean-Paul Sartre, Balthus, Alberto Giacometti, and Pablo Picasso among his friends and acquaintances. He belonged to the early generation of New York School Abstract Expressionist artists whose artistic innovation by the 1950s had been recognized across the Atlantic, including Paris. He participated from 1954 to 1957 in the invitational New York Painting and Sculpture Annuals. These Annuals were important because the participants were chosen by the artists themselves.
During the 1960s and 1970s Hare held teaching positions at several different schools, including the Philadelphia College of Art. During this period, he began work on his Cronus series of sculpture, paintings, and drawings, which became the subject of a solo show at New York's Guggenheim Museum in 1977. Marcel Duchamp was Hare’s best man at David’s third marriage, to photographer Denise Browne.
Death and legacy
He died on December 21, 1992, in Jackson, Wyoming, after an emergency operation for an aortic aneurysm.
He was included in many Surrealist retrospectives, primarily represented by his sculpture and painting.

Simple Eating Tips For a Healthier Lifestyle
It is possible that people become intimidated when they think of healthy eating and a proper diet. A diet really refers to what you eat and not necessarily going on a diet. Eating better foods is simple and will reward you for the rest of your life.
Start With Small Changes
When it comes to dietary wellness, small changes add up over time. If your diet is already lacking in wholesomeness, consider gradually transitioning to a more healthy eating behavior. Taking your time when adopting a new diet allows you to create a more robust eating routine. There are some simple changes you can make to improve your diet that need not be frightening.
Everything in Moderation
Eating the right foods in the right quantities and finding your ideal weight is something that should be approached in the spirit of moderation. The reason for this has everything to do with staying healthy. Even more than being overweight, extreme and frequent changes in your weight (in either direction) are considered to be very risky and undesirable. Your aim, then, should be to find your healthiest weight and then stay as close to that as possible. Remember that there are health risks associated with being underweight. The risks of obesity are widely discussed nowadays, so most people are familiar with them. So there are compelling reasons to keep your weight as ideal as possible.
Trying to change too much about your diet too soon is a leading cause of failure. Undertaking such an effort only serves to stack the deck against you. Create a strong foundation of success by building upon smaller victories.
Make Lasting Improvements
Don’t toss out your favorite junk food vice right at the start. So if you can minimize or cut-out easier foods, then that will give you confidence to keep going. It’s important to transition into these new behaviors gradually. The foundation for permanent success lies in using these techniques to make lasting improvements to your lifestyle.
Understand that a healthy diet also contains sources of fats as well. Just one good example is that some vitamins are fat soluble rather than water soluble. That is to say that your body will have an easier time making use of the nutrients you take in if you remember to include dietary fat in your diet.
The critical factor is to make sure that it is the right kind of dietary fat. Saturated fats are known to be bad for you so you should try to cut down on them. Essential fatty acids, also known as EFA’s can be found in a family of fats collectively known as the omega fats.
Dietary professionals are of the opinion that a vital part of a healthy diet is understanding your eating tendencies. When you take all this into account, it only makes sense.
One size indeed does not fit all when it comes to proper nutrition. Look at what unhealthy food you may be consuming and the think about how you might replace them with healthier foods. Once you realize some preliminary success, you will feel a renewed sense of confidence. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

What is a shared folder and how do I create one on my Synology?
A shared folder is a home folder where you can store and manage your files and subfolders. Before you save files you must have at least one shared folder. Through the step-by-step plan below, I will show you how you can create such a shared folder.
Create a shared folder
Synology shared folder
1. Open http://find.synology.com in an internet browser to open the NAS user interface. For example Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Internet explorer. Do this on a computer connected to the same network.
2. Then go to the control panel here.
3. Choose 'Shared Folder' and then 'Create'.
4. Enter the name and description of the shared folder, for example: 'Movies'.
5. Select the volume where the folder is to be created (if you only have one volume you can skip this step).
6. (Optional) Make a note of the name of the volume and the name of your folder, which you will need later on if you want to make the folder accessible on your computer.
7. Press 'Ok'.
8. You will now enter a next screen. Here you can set the rights for the folder per user. Do you want full rights? Then tick the 'Read / Write' option.
9. Press 'Ok', you can now use the folder to save files.
Access via Windows
Now that you have created your first shared folder, you can access it via your computer. The instructions for this are available for Windows.

Page:Sévigné - Letters to her Daughter and Friends, 1869.djvu/21
Rh fear you have not received. I should be sorry it were lost, for you would laugh heartily at its contents.
I was yesterday at Madame de Montglas's ; she had just received a letter from you, as also had Madame de ---. I expected one likewise, but was disappointed. I suppose you were unwilling to effect too many wonders at once. I am not sorry, however, and shall some day claim a whole cargo for myself. Adieu, my cousin. The gazette speaks of you but slightly, which has given offense to many, and to me especially, for no one can be so much interested in your affairs as myself.
, July 19, 1655. This is the third time I have written to you since you left Paris, a sufficient proof that I have nothing upon my mind against you. I received your farewell letter from Landrecy while I was in the country, and answered it immediately. I see plainly that my letter has never reached you, and I am extremely vexed at it; for, besides its being written with becoming affection, it was in my opinion a very pretty composition; and as it was designed for you only, I am wroth that another should have the pleasure of reading it. I have since written to you by the servant you dispatched hither with letters to some of your favorites. I did not amuse myself by quarreling with you for not remembering me at the same time, but wrote you a line or two at full speed, which, however incoherent, would inform you of the pleasure I received from the success of your regiment at Landrecy. This intelligence came to us in the most acceptable manner possible, by some of the court, who assured us that Cardinal Mazarin had spoken very handsomely of you to the king, who afterward joined with the whole court in extolling your conduct. You may conceive that my joy was not inconsiderable at hearing | WIKI |
Baclofen Abuse
Baclofen is a prescription skeletal muscle relaxant indicated for the treatment of muscle spasms and spasticity related to conditions such as multiple sclerosis. Baclofen is commonly prescribed to treat symptoms associated with spinal cord disease or injury, but more recently has been tapped for off-label uses such as the management of alcohol, opioid, cocaine, and tobacco dependence 1,2.
Because of the calming effects experienced during a baclofen high, some people may use the drug other than prescribed, effectively abusing it. The danger increases when people use other drugs at the same time as baclofen, which can depress the central nervous system (CNS) and increase the risk of side effects from the drug 1. If baclofen is abused simultaneously with alcohol, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, or other muscle relaxants it can result in:
• Weakness.
• Dizziness.
• Drowsiness.
• Imbalance.
Chronic or severe baclofen abuse can lead to tolerance, dependence, and addiction 2,3.
Find out more about the signs and symptoms of drug abuse, and learn about your treatment options.
Side Effects of Abuse
Abusing baclofen can lead to a range of side effects, including 2,3:
• Muscle weakness.
• Central nervous system (CNS) depression.
• Drowsiness.
• Dizziness.
• Insomnia.
• Fatigue.
If the user takes other CNS depressants or alcohol in addition to baclofen, it can exacerbate the high and result in profound dizziness and drowsiness.

Who Answers?
Thinking About Getting Rehab?
Is It Possible to Overdose on Baclofen?
Baclofen is a gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA) derivative that works by stimulating GABA-B receptors, which decreases the frequency and severity of muscle spasms 1. Despite its therapeutic utility, a user can overdose by taking too much baclofen, the effects of which, one study discovered, were 4:
• Coma.
• Hypothermia.
• Slowed breathing or respiratory arrest.
• Heart muscle conduction disturbances and slowed heart rate.
• Seizures.
Other warning signs of baclofen overdose may include 5:
• Low body temperature.
• Lightheadedness.
• Vertigo.
• Trouble breathing.
• Loss of consciousness.
If you are near a person who is overdosing on baclofen, call 911 immediately and try to stop them from taking any more drugs until help arrives.
Try to keep the person who has overdosed calm and stay calm yourself. You can also follow these steps:
1. Make sure the person is breathing: Check to see if the person is breathing. If they are not, begin CPR immediately. If the person is still breathing but is unconscious, move them into the recovery position.
2. If the person is seizing: If you see that the overdosing person is having a seizure, make sure to protect them from injuring themselves by helping them lay down in a safe area with a cushion behind their head. Stay beside the seizing individual until emergency medical help comes.
Baclofen Abuse Treatment
If you or a loved one is struggling with a baclofen abuse problem, it is important that you seek formal treatment, which can help you break the cycle of compulsive baclofen abuse and start working toward a healthier, drug-free life. If you abuse baclofen with other drugs, such as opioids or alcohol, treatment can help you work through the underlying issues of your addiction with therapy, group counseling, relapse prevention, and aftercare.
Man sits with therapist thinking
Various types of treatment for a baclofen use disorder may include a combination of the following:
Detox: Detox is typically the first step in treating a substance use disorder. During this time, you slowly wean yourself off of baclofen and any other drugs you are taking so that your body can get used to no longer having drugs in its system to function normally. Once you are stabilized, a treatment professional will evaluate you so you can transition to the next step of treatment.
Inpatient treatment: Inpatient treatment allows you to live at the treatment facility throughout your program, during which you will receive intensive treatment including individual therapy, medication management, and group therapy. Inpatient is ideal if you need a higher level of care and supervision during your recovery, such as with co-occurring substance abuse. During inpatient treatment, medical care providers help address any other substance use disorders or mental health issues you are facing in addition to baclofen abuse.
Residential treatment: Residential programs are offered in a variety of models, including therapeutic communities or a sober living home (halfway house). Depending on the facility and your situation, treatment in a residential program could last 1 month to 1 year or more. These programs are helpful if you do not have a stable home environment or if your substance use disorder is serious. Residential treatment can help prepare you to reenter work or school by providing resources and training, as well as time and space for you to explore your options.
Outpatient: Outpatient treatment allows you to continue living at home while attending rehab on a regular basis. This is a great option if you cannot take time away from your family, pet, school, work, or other responsibilities. Outpatient treatment relies heavily on group therapy and counseling, but may also provide medication management.
Support groups: There are many support groups available to you before, during, and after treatment; 12-step groups are great supplements to any treatment program. Alternatives to the 12-step model exist too, and both approaches provide social support while you work the steps to maintain sobriety, even as you transition out of treatment.
Aftercare: Recovery lasts a lifetime, so after you finish treatment, one of the keys to long-term sobriety is figuring out what works best for you. Before you transition out of treatment it is important that you work on an aftercare plan so that you feel more prepared to handle triggers or urges to use. For some people, aftercare involves regularly seeing a therapist and staying engaged with their 12-step program either as a member or an alum. It is important to find an aftercare strategy that works best for you.

Almost all the lessons were given in the form of a continued conversation between the professor and the pupils. The professor also read to them anecdotes and little stories on the subject of the lesson. The school-hours commenced at eight in the morning, and continued till twelve; they began again at two, and continued till five. The lessons were so arranged that the professor changed every hour; for instance, from eight to nine, German, from nine to ten, geography, &c. When the professor gave instructions in geography or history, he amused the pupils with anecdotes, geographical or historical, explained them by his remarks, and thus made the lessons easy and agreeable.
To facilitate still further the instruction of beginners, the class had a large black board, on which the professor daily wrote, in large characters, the subject of the lessons; for example, history, geography, Latin, arithmetic; and under each subject he wrote a word which served as a kind of guide in the lesson; under history, for example, he wrote Julius Cæsar, under geography, France, for the Latin language, amare, and in arithmetic some question to solve, &c. In the historical lesson he related anecdotes of Julius Cæsar, and endeavoured to combine with it every thing that could be useful to the children, and so on in the other lessons.
In the second class they proceeded as far as the doctrine of proportions, geometry, plain trigonometry, the syntax of the Latin language, the reading of some Latin author, and they continued their history, geography, and natural history. In this class, the instruction became more systematic. The professor wrote the subject on a black board, dictated paragraphs to his scholars, and afterwards developed and explained them. At the beginning of each lesson, he made a short recapitulation of the preceding, and twice a week he examined the pupils and made them repeat what they had gone over.
The third class studied algebra, spherical trigonometry, the elements of optics and mechanics, continued geography, history, natural history, statistics, the reading of Latin authors, and commenced the Greek and French languages. In the fourth, the same subjects were continued and developed: the exercises were multiplied; and the professor always sat in
his chair, the form of instruction being assimilated to that in the universities. The fifth class was entirely preparatory for the university, and to the subjects already mentioned were added Hebrew for those who were going to be theological students, and for others, English and Italian.
The method of teaching the languages was the following. The first boy read aloud a sentence of an author and then he explained the first word fully; the second boy did the same with the second, and so on. To translate into another language, the following method was adopted. The master gave such words as pater, amare, filia, which the pupils explained as we have just described. Then he made them put two words together in their proper case and tense, then three, four, and so on, until a complete period was formed. To have all the effect of this method, one pupil must follow another immediately without hesitation, in explaining the words and forming the phrase; in this way the attention of the whole class is kept alive.
This school had a good library and museum. Each class also had a small select library of its own, and a collection of instruments and models for the use of the pupils. In the first three classes a certain order was observed. The class was divided into two parts, one on the right and the other on the left of the professor; those on the right were the pupils who distinguished themselves by their diligence; on the left were placed the less attentive pupils. Each division was also subdivided into two benches, the first of which was occupied by the better pupils. Besides this, each pupil had his number, and the first on each bench exercised a kind of authority over the rest of the bench; and also the first in each division had authority over the whole division; and the first in the first bench of the first division was the superintendent of the whole class in the absence of the professor, and the representative of the class on public occasions. These places were assigned by the professor at the close of the weekly examinations. Every year there was a general examination in the great hall, which lasted about eight days, and was attended by all the civil and military authorities, the principal citizens of the towns, the clergy, and the parents of the pupils.
The rector opened the ceremony by an address, in which he stated what the pupils had been doing during the year, and he generally took this opportunity of proposing something beneficial to the establishment, and recommending it to the notice of the authorities. After the opening speech, the professor of the first class read a report on the state
of his class; then the examination of that class commenced, and at the end of it, one of the pupils delivered an address the other classes followed in the same order. The pupils who were ready to leave school for the university were then addressed by the rector, and also delivered declamations on certain subjects, which had previously been given out to them by the rector. The whole was concluded by the rector's announcing the names of those who had distinguished themselves during the year by their good conduct and diligence, and who were in consequence either promoted to a higher class, or rewarded with gold or silver medals, or books, instruments, and certificates of honour.
Though the lyceums were organized after the model of the school of Riga, they did not produce the same effect. Being ill endowed, they could not afford to pay for the best professors; besides this, it was impossible to find qualified teachers in Russia, and foreigners being ignorant of the language, were unable to convey information to the pupils. At the commencement of the present century, when the universities were established, all the lyceums and schools were re-organized. The instruction in each government was put under the care of a director, who was the head of all the schools in the government, and who received his instructions from the commission for schools of the university district to which the government belonged. In general, the lyceums and schools of this kind, which took the name of gymnasia, have been improved by this new organization; but, as every thing that is new is not therefore good, the schools in the Baltic provinces have lost all their original character, and during the last thirty years, since their change into gymnasia, we have not seen such men as Snell, Schlegel, Storch, Herder, and others come out of them.
In all the towns of the empire there are elementary schools for the purpose of religious instruction, and for teaching reading, writing, and the elements of arithmetic. These schools are intended to be preparatory to the gymnasia. The Lancasterian method of instruction is generally followed. Still, it is only a very small part of the inhabitants of this vast empire who participate in the instruction given in such establishments. The children of the nobility never go to them, being educated by foreign masters in their parents' houses, or in the boarding schools of St. Petersburg, or in military schools; and the peasantry, as we have said, are slaves, and have no instruction at all. It is only, then, the middle classes who derive any benefit from them; and even
in this class, the rich merchants and the higher kind of government officers, the rich manufacturers, &c., follow the example of the nobility, and educate their children at home or in boarding schools. Now, as the middle class, taken all through the empire, does not amount to more than 4,500,000, and the whole population is about 50,000,000, we may estimate the proportion between those who derive benefit from these establishments and those who do not, as about one to eleven.
In all the Baltic provinces, Courland, Livonia, Esthonia, there were established, about twenty years ago, elementary schools in the country parishes, in which the children of the Lettonian and Esthonian peasants are taught to read and write on Sundays, after the Lancasterian method. In the interior of Russia also, some noblemen have established, at their own expense, elementary schools for the instruction of their slaves; but, in general, innovations of this kind are looked on with a jealous eye both by the government and the nobility; for it is quite clear that the poor peasant can work the bidding of his master quite as well without being able to read or write.
Among the establishments for education in Russia the boarding schools deserve a particular notice. Before the organization of the universities, any person might establish a boarding school and adopt any method of instruction that he thought best; but since education has been placed under the surveillance of the universities, every individual who wishes to establish a boarding school must himself undergo an examination before a commission of the university, and submit to them the plan of his establishment. There is at present in the two capitals and in some other large towns a great number of boarding schools belonging to Frenchmen, Englishmen, and Germans. All these schools are compelled to follow the methods introduced into the public schools. They are required to hold public examinations annually, and to make reports to the university commission of all that passes in their schools. At St. Petersburg there were lately thirtytwo and at Moscow twenty-eight boarding schools. Among the schools of Moscow that of the Lutheran church is most worthy of notice; it owes its origin to the celebrated anatomist Loder, councillor of state, first physician to the emperor, and professor in the university of Moscow. M. Loder, as president of the council of the Protestant church, made considerable sacrifices to accomplish the object of founding the school. The funds of the church being unequal to its support, it is maintained by voluntary contributions, by public subscriptions, and the sums which are paid by the rich
boarders. Youths are received into the school from the age of seven to twelve, and are prepared for the gymnasia by four masters and a rector. The method of instruction very nearly resembles that which we described in speaking of the public school of Riga. Above a hundred boys are taught free of expense, and above forty are lodged, maintained, and clothed at the expense of the establishment; but besides those who pay nothing, there are generally about forty youths who do pay. Youths of all religious sects are freely admitted both to the school and the boarding establishment, and this causes no disagreement or difficulty. On the occasion of an annual examination, divine worship was solemnized in the great hall of the school, and as there were many scholars of the Greek faith, the Russo-Greek and the Lutheran minister performed the service alternately, prayed together, and united in giving their benediction to the scholars.
ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL.
A Plan for conducting the Royal Naval School, respectfully submitted to the Consideration of the Council of Administration and the Service. By a Subscriber. London. Charles Knight, Pall-Mall-East. 1831.
OUR attention has been drawn to the Royal Naval School, now in progress of formation, by the above-named pamphlet, which is written in the best spirit, and contains valuable suggestions. The author has views on the subject of education, many parts of which, particularly those concerning management and discipline, meet with our cordial concurrence. With great respect for the writer, and earnest wishes that the right feeling which he has brought to his subject may regulate the discussions and proceedings of the governing body, to whom his ideas are presented, we proceed to discuss some points contained in his little work, of which we do not pretend to give a full review. The author proposes that the institution should be divided into three schools, in the lowest of which should be taught English reading, spelling, grammar, and etymology, as connected with signification,-writing, arithmetic,-elementary geography, including history and the practical use of the globes-perhaps the first books of Euclid, so as to give an insight into the nature of mathematics, and a knowledge of its principal terms, and the Linnean system of botany.' He also recommends that drawing should be taught here. He proposes that in the first school the memory and observation should be principally exercised, while in the second the judgment should be more | FINEWEB-EDU |
-- Monti Praised by Merkel Favored Less by Taxed Italians
European leaders have praised
outgoing Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti and encouraged him
to run in next year’s elections. Italians are less enthusiastic. Monti, who may resign as soon as today after 13 months in
office, would win at most 20 percent of votes in elections
expected on Feb. 24, said Maurizio Pessato, vice-president of
polling company SWG SpA. Sixty-one percent don’t even want him
to run, a Dec. 14 poll by SWG showed. “Monti has managed to get policies pushed through because
he was seen as ‘super partes,’” said Pessato, using the Latin
term for above the political fray. “If he chooses to run, then
he has to choose his ‘partes.’” Monti took over last year just as Italy risked becoming the
next victim of Europe ’s debt crisis under former Premier Silvio Berlusconi. While he’s overseen a recovery in Italy’s bonds and
repaired its standing abroad, his austerity steps left Italians
with higher taxes, rising unemployment and a shrinking economy. A former European Union competition commissioner, Monti
announced his intention to quit on Dec. 8 after Berlusconi’s
People of Liberty party withdrew support for his Cabinet of
unelected technocrats. Monti, 69, has said he would step down
after the 2013 budget is given final approval by the lower
house, which is expected today. He may resign later today after
a cabinet meeting scheduled 7 p.m., Ansa news agency said. Complacent Market “The market is complacent about the risks attached to the
elections because it is buying into the idea that the ECB can do
whatever it wants,” Nicola Marinelli, who oversees $180 million
at Glendevon King Asset Management in London , said in a phone
interview on Dec. 18. A five-year government with strong backing
for reforms is needed and “I don’t see how you can get that
from a coalition.” The yield on Italy’s 10-year bond, which surged to 7.26
percent on Nov. 25 last year, past the level that had prompted
Ireland, Greece and Portugal to seek bailouts, rose 7.6 basis
points to 4.5 percent at 2:59 p.m. in Rome today. The gap with
similar-maturity German bunds was 311 basis points as the
European Central Bank’s bond-buying program buoys Italian debt. After resigning Monti, an economist who’s never sought
elected office, would have to decide whether to stand aside or
join the fray. He’ll use a year-end news conference, scheduled
at 11 a.m. on Dec. 23, to announce plans to run at the head of a
coalition of centrist parties, newspaper la Repubblica said
yesterday. Foreign Praise While Monti’s rule has been praised in recent days by
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other European leaders such
as Jean-Claude Juncker, who heads the group of euro-area finance
ministers, his policies find less favor at home. A former adviser to Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Monti imposed
20 billion euros ($26.5 billion) in austerity measures. He
raised taxes, cut spending, raised the retirement age and
overhauled labor rules to make firing easier. The policies have
left Italy on track to cut its deficit within the European Union
target of 3 percent of output this year. They also deepened Italy’s fourth recession since 2001,
pushing the jobless rate to a 13-year high of 11.1 percent. The
euro-area’s third biggest economy will contract 2.1 percent this
year and 0.6 percent in 2013, employer lobby Confindustria
forecast on Dec. 11. Drinking Water “Monti put out the fire, but he used the water Italians
were drinking,” said Giovanni Orsina, a professor at Luiss
Guido Carli University in Rome . A Nov. 17 poll by Datamonitor showed that 62.5 percent of
Italians had a negative view of the Monti government, 82.4
percent had little or no confidence in the economy improving,
and 81 percent said they had not been able to save in the past
three months. The poll questioned 1,000 people. No margin of
error was given. Most polls indicate the Democratic Party led by Pier Luigi Bersani, a former communist, will win the election with about 30
percent of votes. A protest group led by comedian Beppe Grillo,
who’s suggested Italy leave the euro, trails with 20 percent
ahead of Berlusconi’s PDL party with between 15 and 20 percent. Monti’s being courted by a group of small parties led by
Catholic politician Pier Ferdinando Casini and Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, the Ferrari SpA chairman. Berlusconi has said he’d
step aside and endorse Monti if he led a coalition with his PDL
and former Northern League ally, but not the Democratic Party. Possible President At the same time, Monti’s been mentioned as a possible
successor to President Giorgio Napolitano , whose term in the
largely ceremonial post ends in May. Bersani said Dec. 13 that
he’d like Monti to remain “engaged” in public service after
the elections. The son of a banker from the northern city of Varese,
Monti, as EU commissioner, blocked General Electric (GE) Co.’s $47
billion takeover of Honeywell International Inc. (HON) and levied a
497 million-euro fine against Microsoft. To contact the reporter on this story:

Many Japanese Americans have been affected similarly during World War II. These effects have greatly impacted their life styles and also learned to adapt in the internment camps. In a memoir, “from Farewell to Manzanar” by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and James D. Houston, Wakatsuki Houston describes her experience and how it eventually changed her life from being in an internment camp. She and other Japanese Americans were forced to abandon their homes and was transported to an internment camp until World War II was over. A similar short story, “The Bracelet” by Yoshiko Uchida, a character named Ruri and her family along with other Japanese Americans were being evacuated to an internment camp under the assumption that they were being protected. Over the time there, Ruri learns an important lesson from her mother that the things that she treasures the most will always be kept in her heart. Ruri and Jeanne from “The Bracelet” and “from Farewell to Manzanar” are similar in many ways, such as the loss of identity in the internment camps and the removal of their Papa from their homes. Japanese Americans had experienced their fathers taken away from the government during World War II. Ruri and Jeanne both experienced the removal of their fathers because of an accusation that they were dangerous. Ruri’s family had their Papa taken away because the FBI feared that her dad and other community leaders would support Japan during the war. This can be shown in “The FBI had come pick up

There are many things that happened to Japanese-American immigrants during World War 2 that people in this time period aren’t really familiar with. A story from a Japanese woman, Jeanne Wakatsuki-Houston, who was born and lived in this era, with help from her husband, James D. Houston, explains and sheds some light during the times where internment camps still prevailed. The writing piece titled “Arrival at Manzanar", takes place during her childhood and the Second World War. In the beginning, Jeanne and her family were living a calm and peaceful life in a predominantly white neighborhood, until disaster struck the world and they were forced to move due to escalating tensions between Japanese Orientals and white Americans. At the time, Japanese-Americans, like Jeanne, were forced to live in an internment camp, which is a prison of sorts, due to the war with Japan. The text is being told through a first person point-of-view in which Jeanne herself tells the story through her experiences during the war. In that story, which contains only a part of the original text, much of the setting took place either prior to and during the time she was sent to the internment camps and describes her struggle with it. This story clearly states the importance of family and perseverance which is shown through her use of pathos, definition, and chronological storytelling.
Japanese American families were sent to internment camps located at a desert in Utah almost in less than 24 hours during World War ll. It was supposed to be luxurious and a dream, yet it was the complete opposite. In the book, When the emperor was divine, Julie Otsuka describes each character and their stories through different points of views. She tells their story by recounting each of the main character's emotional experiences while showing the life of Japanese Americans and how they were labeled in others eyes. Otsuka writes not only about the venture of being taken to an internment camp, but how each character changes in the process. Through each person comes a story and why they changed into somewhat the opposite of their
In the story of Japanese imprisonment, Farewell to Manzanar, readers follow a young American girl, Jeanne, as she grows up in an internment camp during World War II. Despite being American, Jeanne and other people of Japanese descent are continually attacked due to the racism bred by the American government. They attack her and these people in a variety of forms such as isolation, disrespect, and avoidance.
Disregarding the past years spent at an internment camp, the years that disassembled her family into a blur of oblivion, Jeanne chose to familiarize herself with the American way. Although forbidden U.S. citizenship, she made numerous attempts to Americanize herself, opting for such standings as Girl Scout, baton leader, Homecoming Queen. However competent and capable this young woman was, she was repeatedly denied because of her race, her appearance, her Japanese heritage
Throughout Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki and Into the Desert by Nancy Karakane, the characters undergo physical and emotional injustice which shape who they later become. In Farewell to Manzanar we learn about a seven-year old‘s first hand view before during and after camp Manzanar. The Wakatsuki family and Japanese-americans along the west coast were taken from their home and put into relocation camps. In this book we endure her issues in and out of camp and also the injustice that not only does she face, but also many other Japanese-americans.
Japanese internee camps in America caused the Japanese-Americans to feel invisible to the outside world, like mIne Okubo, “In Tanforan, Mine experienced isolation from the outside world and had lack of privacy. ”(The Life of Mine Okubo) She did nothing wrong, but was sent here to feel invisible and have a huge lack of privacy. Louie and other POWs felt alone and helpless and couldn’t do anything. They were silent and thinking about if they could survive in the camps.
The Train to Crystal City, written by Jan Jarboe Russell, is a book about internment camps that were constructed in the United States during WWII to house people the U.S. government classified as “enemy aliens”. For years, these camps were home to people of various nationalities, most notably those of Japanese, German, and Italian descent. A majority of the book follows the experiences and lives of several families that were interned at these internment camps during the war.
The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese led to the entry of the United States in the World War II. While the war was going on, the United States decided to put Japanese into camps an effort to get rid of Japanese spies and make sure that nobody had contact with Japan. In Farewell to Manzanar, an autobiography written by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and James D. Houston, the author shares her experience at camp Manzanar in Ohio Valley, California during the 1940s. The book was published in 1973, about 31 years after Wakatsuki left camp Manzanar.
From 1937 to the end of world war 2 (WWII), Japan killed over 3,000,000 Prisoners of war(POWs). Some POWs including Louie Zamperini had escaped death from these camps. Back in America, Japanese-Americans, like Jeanne Wakatsuki had to face racial discrimination in the Japanese internment camps. This all happened because on December 7, 1941 Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Louie Zamperini from Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, is an Olympic running who joined the Air Force after WWII broke out. Jeanne Wakatsuki from Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, is a Japanese-American that lives in America during WWII. Louie Zamperini and Jeanne Wakatsuki’s experiences from being a POW are very similar yet different in their involvement throughout the war, their resilience during the war, and their struggles after the war.
There were more problems than just not being able to become a citizen, they were treated differently, worse. When the FBI was searching for anything that might connect the people to Japan, they looked at random objects and used them against the Japanese, it states this happening on page 7, “Most of the houses had radios with a short-wave band and a high aerial on the roof so that wives could make contact with the fishing boats during these long cruises. To the FBI every radio owner was a potential saboteur. The confiscators were often deputies sworn in hastily during the turbulent days right after Pearl Harbor, and these men seemed to be acting out the general panic, seeing sinister possibilities in the most ordinary household items: flashlights, kitchen knives, cameras, lanterns, toy swords.” This was completely ridiculous! They were being very prejudice of the Japanese when they were going through their houses, most Caucasian Americans had these items in their homes, but they weren’t even being questioned, who’s to say they weren’t giving Japan information? Just because they are Japanese does not mean they have any connection with Japan. Jeanne’s father, being Japanese was taken by the FBI for with only a photo as evidence that he is guilty, that photo was of him on his fishing boat with two fifty-gallon drums. They had no way to prove that it was oil in those drums, but they took him anyway, in his interrogation he was questioned about it on page 56,
Wakatsuki-Houston presents an insightful portrayal of the Japanese-American internment camp in California known as Manzanar. She describes how her life changed throughout the experience as she grew from child to young woman. She captivates the reader's attention with intermittent interviews, describing the seemingly constant turmoil that each prisoner faced.
The Japanese-American author, Julie Otsuka, wrote the book When the Emperor was Divine. She shares her relative and all Japanese Americans life story while suffering during World War II, in internment camps. She shares with us how her family lived before, during, and after the war. She also shares how the government took away six years of Japanese-American lives, falsely accusing them of helping the enemy. She explains in great detail their lives during the internment camp, the barbed wired fences, the armed guards, and the harsh temperatures. When they returned home from the war they did not know what to believe anymore. Either the Americans, which imprisoned them falsely, or the emperor who they have been told constantly not to believe, for the past six years imprisoned. Japanese-Americans endured a great setback, because of what they experienced being locked away by their own government.
The United States of America a nation known for allowing freedom, equality, justice, and most of all a chance for immigrants to attain the American dream. However, that “America” was hardly recognizable during the 1940’s when President Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, ordering 120,000 Japanese Americans to be relocated to internment camps. As for the aftermath, little is known beyond the historical documents and stories from those affected. Through John Okada’s novel, No-No Boy, a closer picture of the aftermath of the internment is shown through the events of the protagonist, Ichiro. It provides a more human perspective that is filled with emotions and connections that are unattainable from an ordinary historical document. | FINEWEB-EDU |
La Gazette (France)
La Gazette, originally Gazette de France, was the first weekly magazine published in France. It was founded by Théophraste Renaudot and published its first edition on 30 May 1631. It progressively became the mouthpiece of one royalist faction, the Legitimists. With the rise of modern news media and specialized and localized newspapers throughout the country in the early 20th century, La Gazette was finally discontinued in 1915.
During the Ancien Régime
Before the advent of the printed Gazette, reports on current events usually circulated as hand-written papers (nouvelles à la main). La Gazette quickly became the center of France for the dissemination of news, and thus an excellent means for controlling the flow of information in a highly centralized state. Cardinal Richelieu and Louis XIII were frequent contributors, and until the revolution the magazine was frequently read by the nobility and aristocracy.
Among the early members of the committee supervising La Gazette were Pierre d'Hozier, Vincent Voiture, Guillaume Bautru, and Gauthier de Costes.
La Gazette had for objective to inform its readers on events from the noble court and abroad. It was mostly focused on political and diplomatic affairs. In 1762, its name became Gazette de France, with the sub title Organe officiel du Government royal (Official organ of the royal Government). The magazine was always one of the most expensive in Paris. In 1787, Charles-Joseph Panckouke already proprietary of the Mercure de France and the Moniteur universel—which he had just founded—rented the magazine.
During the Revolution
La Gazette remained silent about the birth of the French Revolution, and did not even mention the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789, limiting itself to government acts. For the satisfaction of his customers, Charles-Joseph Panckouke published a supplement, Le Gazettin (little Gazette), that gave its readers summaries of debates at the National Constituent Assembly. In 1791, the ministry of foreign affairs, who owned La Gazette, took it back. Nicolas Fallet was named director and it became a tribune for the Girondists. He was succeeded by Sébastien Roch Nicolas Chamfort. La Gazette became a daily magazine in 1792, 1 May. Following the execution of Louis XVI in 1793, 21 January, it was renamed Gazette nationale de France (National Gazette of France) The tone of its articles remained both very prudent and impartial. | WIKI |

1. Plants communicate
A tomatoe-plant, when attacked by caterpillars, starts defending itself (eg production
of toxins against invaders ) The plant also releases odours to warn neighboring
plants so they start their self-defense. The odour is known to be a mixture of methyl-
jasmonates (also used in perfumes).
Triangle maize – caterpillar parasitic whasp : Experiments by Ted Turlings, University
Neuchatel (CH) show that when maize is attacked by caterpillars, little whasps
(Spdoptera Exigua Hübner) arrive soon and parasite the caterpillar. The plant sends
out „SOS-signals“ to attract the whasps. The plant „tastes“ the presence of caterpillar
by a molecule (volicitin) in their saliva and then starts to produce the SOS-signal – a
flexible triangle. (T.Turlings and B.Benrey, 1998, Ecoscience, 5 (3), 321)
„Communication“ among plants with the help of scent-molecules is common („a
constant chattering“)
2. Plants react to at least 16 parameters from the environment.
Plants can sense light, temperature, gravitiy, movement, chemicals etc. They react
to these parameters, change their behaviour accordingly (such as growth, number of
leaves, thickness of stem).
3. Plants „learn“ through trial and error
The overall goal is to maximise fitness in an unpredictable, ever changing and
extremely complex environment.
Example: Rootsystems must make decisions about growth, direction, dephts,
avoiding competing roots etc. They must integrate signals of soil hardness , stones,
light penetration, temperature, insects and microbes, distribution of water, Calcium
and niotrate, presence of gases such as CO2 etc; they compute these signals
together with many internal ones into decisions which are necessary for root-growth.
(A.Trewavas, 2004, Annals of Botany 93, 353)
4. Plants have a “memory“
Animal memory is often defined as: The experience of one organ can be used to the
advantage of others. Such processes are also known for plants.
Example: The pre-exposure of roots of a growing plant to low levels of salt or to
dryness enables the plant to survive later in normally lethal concentrations of salt or
in draught. The experience of the roots is thus translated to the whole plant. Pre-
treatment learning can last months or years, it also can be interrupted if the
conditions are reversed. (A.Trewavas, 2004, Annals of Botany 93, 353)
5. Are plants „intelligent“?
Anthony Trewavas (University Edinburg, GB) thinks so: Among the many definitions
for „intelligence“ he chooses the one given by David Stenhouse (philosopher and
psychologist from New Zealand): „adaptive and flexible behaviour during the lifetime
of an individual“. This is what plants are doing: they show a flexible, adaptive – and
most important: not all-predetermined – behaviour (although their behaviour changes
might be small and slow)
Example: Cuscuta, a parasitic plant which sucks the juice of its hosts: Cuscuta
comes to a hostplant and checks first, if it is worthwhile. If not: it moves on., If yes: it
starts building coils around the host. Cuscuta also computes if the host is a good one
or not: Many coils around a good one, few coils around a meager one. Amazing fact:
from the first encounter to the point where Cuscuta gets to juice and nutrients from
the host there is a timelaps of 4 days. Cuscuta computes the outcome 4 days in
advance and reacts accordingly. This, Trewavas concludes, is intelligent behaviour.
Studies show, that the molecular basis of learning in animals and in plants is very
similar (eg equal or similar signal pathways )
But where is the brain? Probably it is the whole plant, probably the membranes of
cellplasma, where hundreds of signal-molecules are located . It’s probably there
where most of the interactions and computing is done.
6. Differences between plants and animals
Animals move, plants are sessile.
Plants show an open organisation, a modular growth; they are „meta-populations“
Each organ is quite independent of the others. You can cut branches from a tree, you
cannot cut legs from an animal. Development and growth of animals means
development of an individual. Development and growth of plants means adding new
members (eg leaves, roots), getting rid of others. Plants consist of ever changing
components.
Both plants and animals show much flexibility to optimise their fitness. And Trewavas
adds: „Intelligence“ in our culture is always defined in relation to action: Animals must
be fast, flee or attack. But plants do not move fast, they donot appear to be clever.
Their flexible behaviour may show within hours or days.
7. Conclusions
Not: Stop eating salade....But perhaps this radical new scientific view of what a plant
is might help change our perception of plants, might help argue against transgenic
plants, terminator and patents on plants. It also opens new and exciting perspectives
for agriculture (eg use of odours, enhancing induced self-resistence etc)
Article 24 of the Swiss constitution prescribes that the „dignity of creature“ has to be
guarded. Are plants creatures? If Yes, what are the implications? The Swiss Ethics
Committee EKAH (of which I’m a member) will discuss this issue in near future.

Abstract
Prior any satellite technology developments, the geodetic networks of a country were realized from a topocentric datum, and hence the respective cartography was performed. With availability of Global Navigation Satellite Systems-GNSS, cartography needs to be updated and referenced to a geocentric datum to be compatible with this technology. Cartography in Ecuador has been performed using the PSAD56 (Provisional South American Datum 1956) systems, nevertheless it’s necessary to have inside the system SIRGAS (SIstema de Referencia Geocéntrico para las AmericaS). This transformation between PSAD56 to SIRGAS use seven transformation parameters calculated with the method Helmert. These parameters, in case of Ecuador are compatible for scales of 1:25 000 or less, that does not satisfy the requirements on applications for major scales. In this study, the technique of neural networks is demonstrated as an alternative for improving the processing of UTM planes coordinates E, N (East, North) from PSAD56 to SIRGAS. Therefore, from the coordinates E, N, of the two systems, four transformation parameters were calculated (two of translation, one of rotation, and one scale difference) using the technique bidimensional transformation. Additionally, the same coordinates were used to training Multilayer Artificial Neural Network -MANN, in which the inputs are the coordinates E, N in PSAD56 and output are the coordinates E, N in SIRGAS. Both the two-dimensional transformation and ANN were used as control points to determine the differences between the mentioned methods. The results imply that, the coordinates transformation obtained with the artificial neural network multilayer trained have been improving the results that the bidimensional transformation, and compatible to scales 1:5000.

Abstract
This study investigates the estimated adsorption efficiency of artificial Nickel (II) ions with perlite in an aqueous solution using artificial neural networks, based on 140 experimental data sets. Prediction using artificial neural networks is performed by enhancing the adsorption efficiency with the use of Nickel (II) ions, with the initial concentrations ranging from 0.1 mg/L to 10 mg/L, the adsorbent dosage ranging from 0.1 mg to 2 mg, and the varying time of effect ranging from 5 to 30 mins. This study presents an artificial neural network that predicts the adsorption efficiency of Nickel (II) ions with perlite. The best algorithm is determined as a quasi-Newton back-propagation algorithm. The performance of the artificial neural network is determined by coefficient determination (R2), and its architecture is 3-12-1. The prediction shows that there is an outstanding relationship between the experimental data and the predicted values.

Abstract
In this paper, the application of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithm has been used for testing selected specification parameters of voltage-controlled oscillator. Today, mixed electronic circuits specification time is an issue. An analog part of Phase Locked Loopis a voltage-controlled oscillator, which is very sensitive to variation of the technology process. Fault model for the integrated circuit voltage control oscillator (VCO) in ring topology is introduced and the before test stage classificatory is designed. In order to reduce testing time and keep the specification accuracy (approximation) on the high level, an artificial neural network has been applied. The features selection process and output coding for specification parameters are described. A number of different ANN have been designed and then compared with real specification of the VCO. The results obtained gives response in short time with high enough accuracy.

Abstract
The void fraction is one of the most important parameters characterizing a multiphase flow. The prediction of the performance of any system operating with more than single phase relies on our knowledge and ability to measure the void fraction. In this work, a validated simulation study was performed in order to predict the void fraction independent of the flow pattern in gas-liquid two-phase flows using a gamma ray 60Co source and just one scintillation detector with the help of an artificial neural network (ANN) model of radial basis function (RBF). Three used inputs of ANN include a registered count under Compton continuum and counts under full energy peaks of 1173 and 1333 keV. The output is a void fraction percentage. Applying this methodology, the percentage of void fraction independent of the flow pattern of a gas-liquid two-phase flow was estimated with a mean relative error less than 1.17%. Although the error obtained in this study is almost close to those obtained in other similar works, only one detector was used, while in the previous studies at least two detectors were employed. Advantages of using fewer detectors are: cost reduction and system simplification.

Abstract
In the paper the use of the artificial neural network to the control of the work of heat treating equipment for the long axisymmetric steel elements with variable diameters is presented. It is assumed that the velocity of the heat source is modified in the process and is in real time updated according to the current diameter. The measurement of the diameter is performed at a constant distance from the heat source (∆z = 0). The main task of the model is control the assumed values of temperature at constant parameters of the heat source such as radius and power. Therefore the parameter of the process controlled by the artificial neural network is the velocity of the heat source. The input data of the network are the values of temperature and the radius of the heated element. The learning, testing and validation sets were determined by using the equation of steady heat transfer process with a convective term. To verify the possibilities of the presented algorithm, based on the solve of the unsteady heat conduction with finite element method, a numerical simulation is performed. The calculations confirm the effectiveness of use of the presented solution, in order to obtain for example the constant depth of the heat affected zone for the geometrically variable hardened axisymmetric objects.

Abstract
EEG signal-based sleep stage classification facilitates an initial diagnosis of sleep disorders. The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of three methods for feature extraction: power spectral density (PSD), discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) in the automatic classification of sleep stages by an artificial neural network (ANN). 13650 30-second EEG epochs from the PhysioNet database, representing five sleep stages (W, N1-N3 and REM), were transformed into feature vectors using the aforementioned methods and principal component analysis (PCA). Three feed-forward ANNs with the same optimal structure (12 input neurons, 23 + 22 neurons in two hidden layers and 5 output neurons) were trained using three sets of features, obtained with one of the compared methods each. Calculating PSD from EEG epochs in frequency sub-bands corresponding to the brain waves (81.1% accuracy for the testing set, comparing with 74.2% for DWT and 57.6% for EMD) appeared to be the most effective feature extraction method in the analysed problem.

Jesus
I noticed your in the process of trying to revise the article, as am I. My goal is to get this to reach FAC. I was wondering if you could comment on my proposed restructuring(I have one opinion and am waiting for a response as of now) and if you could provide suggestions on how to reduce the intro to 3-4 paragraphs per wikipedia lead policy. Hopefully we will be able to work together and maybe it could FAC. Thanks. Newbie222 01:46, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
* Nice work on the Islam section paragraph, but I still think the list was better because it provided comprehensive summary of beliefs, and yet did not disrupt the flow of the article. I think a list summary is good for the Jesus page, wheras I have already created a paragraph version on the main religious perspectives article. Why exactly do you want a paragraph summary? I don't think it is really necessary. -- a.n.o.n.y.m t 19:47, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
* It's not a matter of necessity, in my view. Normal, non-listed text should be the default way we give information on any topic, and it's lists that we should only use when it's "really necessary" for the sake of clarity. I want a paragraph summary for the following three reasons
* Consistency. There are no lists anywhere else in the article; using a list here will surprise, trouble, and confuse most readers, making the overall article seem more like a patchwork hodgepodge of different articles and less like a cohesive whole. If you had any interest in making all the other sections on religious views of jesus list-formatted, I'd be more inclined to consider having the Islamic one be a list, but that would be a bit silly anyway.
* The text was already getting quite dense even as a list. Your list, while convenient, is almost in paragraph format already, as each list item is quite long indeed. As such, putting it in true paragraph format is easy, and almost just a formality. If the list items were a lot shorter and more obviously stuck to only a single topic for each list item, I'd have much fewer problems with it.
* Fluidity of topic and ease of reading. Putting things in paragraph format rather than list format has the advantage of forcing us to be linear in our explanation, rather than being able to abruptly jump from fact to fact without any overall cohesion. It requires a few more "However"s and "Also"s, sure, but other than that, it's worth the trouble.
* I also explained this briefly on Talk:Jesus a minute ago, sorry for the delay. -Silence 19:59, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
User page images
Hello again, thanks for your changes to Category:Queer Supportive Wikipedians, I really appreciate it. But I think you should be aware that fair use images are not allowed on user pages due to copyright and all that jazz. Sadly, it seems one must remove the images in order to comply with fair use doctrine, or perhaps if you can find replacement images, that would be fine too. Sorry to rain on your parade, User:Mys e kurity|Mysekurity ]] additions | e-mail ]]23:05, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
* Thanks for the information! Very nice of you to take the time to check my user page and help me out with policy info. I'd seen lots of images on other people's user pages, so I assumed that it wasn't a problem. I'll go remove the three fair use images (Hamburglar, Is God Dead?, Mr. Feel) now. Thank god the silly goose image isn't fair use, anyway. -Silence 00:10, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
* Yes, thank God for that (though I am told you can link to fair use images, just not display them, but the copyright law's a little hazy). If you see any other user displaying fair use images on his or her (predominately his) user or talk pages, please drop them a line. It's too bad too. I had the SNL cowbell on my to do page, and was told to remove it. For shame :(. Thanks again for help with the category, and have a great day. - User:Mys e kurity|Mysekurity ]] additions | e-mail ]]00:23, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
Your name
I love your user name. Good idea. SlimVirgin (talk) 11:51, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
* Thank you! Yours is quite neat as well. I was delighted to learn that "Silence" wasn't already taken on Wikipedia, because it's a name I've used for over four years elsewhere. Hopefully some people will be able to see past the surface level of the irony of an overtalkative person named "Silence" and come up with some deeper (or more bizarre, at least) interpretations. -Silence 13:10, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Atheism
It was the "Atheism is incoherent" section that caught my eye (it struck me as being largely original research, too, and not very convincing at that, but I didn't want to get involved in a long debate, so I thought I'd just draw attention to the English). --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 22:08, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
* Actually, I'm pretty sure that section's going to be deleted soon anyway (I recommended it in the section's text, as it has little to do with atheism). So I'll remove the notice; thanks for adding it, though, as it seems to have provoked some nice little fix-ups throughout the article. Just be a bit more specific next time, if possible. :) -Silence 22:32, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Do not remove tags
Since it is such a bad article, let it just get off Wikipedia. I am not a vandal so do not accuse me of being one. I HATE wikipedia. Molotov (talk) 04:10, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
* It is not a bad article. It's actually quite an amazing article, considering you've created it from scratch in just a day. If I thought it was a bad article, why would I have spent hours of my life copyediting it to try and improve it a little? I don't bother to do that with hopeless articles; this one's the opposite of that. Please keep in mind that:
* 1) none of my comments on the page were directed at you; they were directed at anyone who in the near future will check out the page and be interested in working on it a little. There is no reason to take anything I said at all personally.
* 2) if you do not feel like having a discussion about the topics I brought up on the Talk page, then you don't have to reply. I understand completely if you don't appreciate that aspect of working on Wikipedia; many of my friends also dislike Wikipedia for the political or debate aspects of the site. Luckily, until a major dispute arises, no discussion is necessary (helpful, perhaps, but not necessary); just keep up the great work! Or don't, if that's what you prefer. If you really dislike it here that much, you can always leave, though I'd prefer to see even more great stuff from your quarter. Shrug.
* 3) putting an "afd" tag on an article is not an appropriate way to respond to its merely having low quality, in any situation. Though I understand that you just did it out of frustration and annoyance with my nitpicking (for which I apologize), if you really want to put an article up for deletion please make sure it meets one of the requirements at Deletion policy.
* This argument is silly. If you don't want to talk about a topic, don't; deleting the article won't solve anything (and could never happen anyway, it wouldn't get enough votes because it's too useful of an article). Let's just start over, shall we? -Silence 04:25, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
* I am sorry, I should have never added the tag - although I think the Caucasian Jesus image should stay on the article. I am also a little pissed because a damn storm is is headed straight for me - and I have to get the hell out of here. But thanks. Molotov (talk) [[Image:Flag of California.svg|25px]] 04:37, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
* I still don't see why the White Jesus can't stay on the article, though. Molotov (talk) [[Image:Flag of California.svg|25px]] 04:42, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
* 'tis perfectly fine. Adding a little tag doesn't do any harm; I'm just telling you about it so you know for future reference, there are better ways to deal with articles that you think need a lot of improvement; see Cleanup. I don't think the Caucasian image jesus is vital, because it's already listed in pretty much every other article on Jesus on the entire Wikipedia. :) I'd be fine with having it when the article's longer, though; we shouldn't weigh down the article with images at this point, or we risk overwhelming the text. However, there's certainly no rush with any article; we'll have an infinite amount of time to work on the article more and slowly improve and expand on it, so there will surely be a day when the article needs more images to be better. If you really think the article's unsustainable without another image or two, then I welcome you to try some other method of listing them, like the method employed by Images of Jesus of listing them all at the bottom of the page. That should probably only be used if you can find a lot of different racial depictions of Jesus, though. Anyway, I'm glad we've straightened things out, and I hope you make it through the hurricane OK! What a rotten year of disasters... -Silence 04:45, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
* You can say that again...but I definitely won't be on Wikipedia if I have to evacuate. I guess that is why I've been in such a bad mood. Please forgive me.
Take care, Molotov (talk) 04:49, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
* It's completely alright. I have absolutely no hard feelings, and I'm impressed that you were able to create such a useful and well-written article in one day while under so much pressure! I guess sometimes working hard on something is a useful way to alleviate stress; I know it works for me. :) Hopefully next time we see each other it'll be under less strained circumstances. Thanks for my first barnstar, too; very sweet of you, even though it's clearly undeserved. -Silence 04:55, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
* It was deserved, how did you come up with "Silence" as your user name? Molotov (talk) [[Image:Flag of California.svg|25px]] 05:06, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
* I've had it for several years on mIRC now, so I decided to use it here too. I use it for a variety of reasons: spiritual, ironic, poetic, mythological, it just plain sounds cool, etc. It's not supposed to make sense at first glance, though; I want people to try to find their own meanings for it (and hopefully not the old pun one about a guy named Silence being so talkative :)). There are too many things in this world that are easy to understand and explain; I welcome any opportunity to add more mystery and madness to the mundane. -Silence 05:40, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for moving it to the left, I was going to try to add more to the paragraph to have them in the same side, but oh well...anyway, thanks. Molotov (talk) 05:31, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
* Adding filler is unnecessary. If you find good images to add to the page, just put them on the talk page so we'll remember to add them later, when the page has evolved into a larger article naturally. Don't try to force an article into becoming perfect all at once; this page is practically a newborn, it could even be a candidate for Did you know if you wanted (which I think is a much more realistic short-term goal than aspiring for "Featured Article"...). All I'm saying is, don't rush things; contribute as much to the article as you want, but don't be frustrated when people inevitably want to make big changes or don't agree that the article's ready as soon as you do. Also, remember that featured article status actually isn't such a big deal. Many of the best articles on Wikipedia aren't featured, and I've seen too many rather flawed featured articles to count; the entire featured article system is nothing but a means to an end, a tactic to try to encourage people to raise articles to a higher level of quality for a petty honor. In reality, Wikipedia's purpose is not to accumulate such honors, but to create a resource of high-quality, informative, accessible articles for the masses. Of course, the two are also intertwined, but it still pays to keep in mind that featured article status is not the be-all end-all of Wikipedia. It's certainly a fine, worthy goal to aspire to, but not one to rush to. Many articles take years of editing to reach featured article status; it's not even been a day and a half yet! -Silence 05:40, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
* It is looking good, I think the tag can go soon. I guess the icon is fine, but it looks gloomy : ). Molotov (talk) [[Image:Flag of California.svg|25px]] 06:35, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
Your Opinon On Three Paragraph Intros
Hey there. Since you like living on the bleeding edge outside of the guidelines, I'll use some of my refactoring philosophy on you and migrate this bit from Talk:Jesus here:
* I disagree with the guidelines for introduction paragraphs set at Lead section, and certainly do not believe that they apply to any article that exceeds the 30,000-character limit they set on articles; that page is based on the assumption that any large article will be divided until it's 30,000 characters or less, which is not a practical, useful possibility for many articles. Longer articles merit longer introductions than the rough guidelines were created for.
* Wikipedia rules should not be enforced to the point that article quality suffers; rules are tools and very rough guidelines (even more so when they explicitly are called "general guidelines"), not cages. It's simply the truth that the Jesus article is more useful with the previous, multi-paragraph introduction than with the three-paragraph one. However, I'm willing to discuss a compromise between the two versions, if you truly think that this specific article would be greatly improved by shortening the intro, and aren't just trying to universally standardize every article to a single specific, regulated formula, which is definitely contrary to the way Wikipedia works. -Silence 18:23, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
Shortening isn't my issue with this one, it really didn't get much shorter, my rewrites were intended to try and help provide the most relevant facts in the best clustering. That said, please see my own defense of the 3 para guideline. I'll promote the idea of having your own stock philosophies on these things in your userpage so you don't end up arguing them over and over with people, and can just link to them like I have here. You're also welcome to help me make my argument stronger through editing the page, even if you don't agree with it. :) Metaeducation 20:03, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
* I disagree with your refactoring policy. Keeping intact archives is important, as original authors may not have wished you to alter what they said months after the fact; I see no reason why one can't summarize important lengthy discussions for easy perusal rather than deleting or removing portions that are inconvenient. I do agree that keeping organized talk pages is important for maintaining intelligible discussions, and am fine with moving new comments to appropriate parts of the talk page where issues are being discussed (sometimes), but when it's truly vital or when the person who originally made the comments wants them moved himself (and sometimes not even in the latter case, if the comments are important for the discussion) should talk pages be dramatically altered. .. But all that's beside the point being discussed, sorry.
* I disagree that it "didn't get much shorter". The current version has 2612 characters; yours had 1779 characters, 68% of the size it had been. But, yes, like you, size isn't my main concern—we're both apparently exclusively worried about what best serves the article, be it large or small. We just disagree, apparently, as to what does that; I think that while the current paragraphs could probably use a little revising (particularly the last intro paragraph, which is overlong and uses too many weasel words), they at least provide all the necessary information in a clear and accurate way, which I didn't feel your version managed in many areas.
* I'll consider making my own pages for my beliefs on this matter, yes; I've already done that to a small extent on my main page with a few things I support, but haven't updated it with a few new conclusions I've come to after arguing with people who truly think that no page can have over three paragraphs in its intro (even though countless featured articles already do). I'm glad to hear that you're not one of those people, and as such will be perfectly willing to discuss ways to ensure that the intro sticks to only the most relevant details and is a high-quality summary and overview of the whole page.
* And yes, my first instinct was to edit your version of the page rather than to just revert and criticize it; I completely understand how frustrating it can be to do an important, large-scale edit and then have it be removed almost immediately. It happened to me the very first time I edited the Jesus page, and on a very minor point, though the issue was eventually resolved. However, considering that the section we're talking about is the opening paragraphs of one of the most widely-visited pages on all of Wikipedia, I think that the best place to make the paragraphs as good as possible is the Talk page, where we have plenty of room to discuss revisions and there's no risk of scaring away new visitors to the page with unfinished changes. I hope you don't mind. -Silence 20:28, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
Jesus again
I'm sending this message to both Paul and Silence: could you please cite which Christians believe in the whole argument "that Jesus, as the son of God, would have had the ideal body type and physical characteristics, including the "ideal" race." I feel that this implies that there are many Christians who believe this, and I know that this is most likely not the case (there are millions and millions of Christians who don't believe this). Please cite who is prominent in believing this! - Ta bu shi da yu 00:59, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
* I don't believe that many Christians believe it. I tried to have the section deleted and moved to Race of Jesus (where there's much more room to discuss it in depth and thus avoid any of the problems of generalizations), and asked for citations confirming it, but Paul refused, so I tried to establish a compromise, though the one currently on the page is the version of the compromise he agreed to, not the one I did (see Talk:Jesus for mine). I welcome you to try where I failed and extract some confirmation of that claim from Paul. -Silence 01:05, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
Six Feet Under
Hello. I just wanted to thank you for the discussion we had in the 6FU character talk area, and I hope that there were no disagreements there. I had wanted to tell you that I had thought more about some of your suggestions regarding the character page, and you did have some good points. Maybe you should implement some of your ideas and we can see how they look. If not, then I just wanted to drop by and give a greeting, since it's always nice to meet other 6FU fans. --JamesB3 04:26, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
* Oh, thanks! Always nice to get a comment just to say hi. :) I've just been rather busy lately, with work and editing other, more frequented articles (like the infamous Jesus), but I certainly plan to come back soon and start with some revisions. I've already got plenty of stuff planned for the "list of SFU deaths" and "list of SFU episodes" (by the way, I asked the #wikipedia channel and got a lot of support for the idea of season-by-season pages for the episodes) and "SFU characters". Lots of potential for this corner of Wikipedia. -Silence 04:29, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
I owe you an apology
I have been really selfish with the RofJ article, and I want you to know that I am sorry. IN the end I know that you are only doing what you feel is right - and you are doing one hell of a job.
Take care,
I just hope you were playing about the cocaine. V / M 19:10, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
* It's perfectly alright. You're doing a great job, too, and I like some of your recent suggestions. Disagreements are inherent to any collaborative or cooperative process; just try not to get them down, figure out a way to have some fun with the editing process even when things aren't going the way you'd hoped. When one can manage that, the rest's easy. -Silence 19:17, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

List of Eccentrics
Just so you know, it's not a personal lack of interest that motivates me. I actually find this list considerably more interesting than many. Rather, it's a belief that the number of "List of ______" articles that should be on Wikipedia is approximately 0. I have been criticized before for trying to bring that about through the VFD/AFD mechanism, but my attempts to introduce a policy banning lists have been unsuccessful. I have no objection to a short list of examples in eccentricity_(behavior), as that's a real article. Any list on its own, though, I oppose. The Literate Engineer 19:25, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
* I see. Thanks for the explanation, I understand your view vastly better, though. Do consider, however, this: considering that you have not yet succeeded in instituting any policy coming anywhere near to deleting all lists from Wikipedia, is the best tactic really to attack individual lists that just happen to go up for VfD for completely unrelated reasons? Especially since that will mean removing some of the better lists that happen to have been VfDed for other reasons, while many of the ones which even you admit are much less interesting remain. I can understand if this is part of some long-term, slow campaign of yours to destroy all lists, but isn't the worst of all situations inconsistency? I know that even though I think lists definitely have an important place on Wikipedia, if the choice was between deleting all lists and deleting 50% of them completely at random, I'd go for deleting all of them to keep things consistent. Likewise, if the policy is to keep all the ones that fit Wikipedia's current standards, even if I believed that all lists should be removed, I wouldn't attack every individual list that came up for VfD as long as my overall agenda of total-list-removal didn't have wide support. But, at any rate, thanks for clarifying the history behind your vote! -Silence 19:47, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
Template: Main
You claim my change distracts from the article. No it doesn't. I've employed it effectively on the hurricane pages for months with nothing resembling a complaint about it.
Example: Main Article: Hurricane Dennis.
I've grown to despise the main and seemain templates with a red hot passion. I went on a crusade about two months ago to purge them from all the hurricane articles. It blends with the rest of the article. It needs to STAND OUT. It creates spacing issues with both text and images and the indentation looks beyond stupid. I brought it up on the talk page and only one person said anything and that person agreed with me. It is too difficult to alter. You can't bold the link without changing the template. Anyone who tries to change the template is reverted. That's tyranny. Wikipedia is not a dictatorship. Everyone shouldn't have to put it through Congress five times and get 100 percent approval from everyone each time just to change it! This is just a little template and you guys are treating it like the Constitution. It's not my fault that when I brought it up on the talk page, few listened. You also claim that I screwed everything up by not changing Main2. I would if you'd give me half a chance! Until it's changed I will continue to remove it from the hurricane pages and support any deletion proposals that are put forth. And the monarchy you guys are running here won't ever allow that unless one of you came up with the idea yourselves. This is not a vendetta, this is a declaration of grievances and a plee for change. This template cannot stay the way it is...period. It has no place in Wikipedia otherwise. I have encountered many other people severely irked by this template.

* The fact that a certain style works well on one article does not imply that it will work well on every article. Template:main is used heavily in thousands of articles, and there is no possible way you can predict how some of them will be affected even by a change as minor as bolding the text of the line. You should be incredibly, enormously cautious in changes such as those, making sure to establish a very firm consensus before going ahead with such plans, lest you cause a lot of problems throughout all of Wikipedia. If you want to change the default template based on the fact that a few of the articles you work on would certainly benefit from it, why not just make an entirely new template, like "Template:bmain", that would let you use the bold version on as many pages as you want while also allowing anyone who doesn't want to use it to stick to the long-established version of the main?
* "It blends with the rest of the article. It needs to STAND OUT." - Many would argue that the fact that it's distinct from the rest of the paragraph text, always appears at the beginning of sections (and thus is always right below some very large, bold, obvious text), is italicized and idented, and has very obvious blue text is sufficient to make it distinct from the rest of the article. Furthermore, many would argue that to additionally make the article link bold would look unprofessional and crude, adding unnecessary weight to various points in the article and distracting the eye away from the most important part of the article: the article itself; after all, if someone's reading an article, they're doing it because they want to read the article's text, not because they want to gaze in awe at a bunch of links to other pages that they may or may not have any interest in visiting. "Main article" links are provided to make it easy to read more in-depth information on a topic if the person is interested, not to yell at everyone who casually glances through the page "READ ME READ ME READ ME!" That's all. I won't say decidedly whether one version is better or not, but I do know that Wikipedia policy allows for plenty of different article styles, and discourages trying to make every article adhere to a single form. Therefore I'm sure few would stand in your way if you wanted to use your own version for the articles you think need it, but there will undoubtedly be strong resistance to your trying to force everyone on the entire project of Wikipedia to either adhere to your specific, non-mainstream style preferences, or to abandon template usage altogether. Just keep that in mind.
* "brought it up on the talk page and only one person said anything and that person agreed with me." - Gee, you brought up a major template change on an remote article talk page completely unrelated to the template in question and only got one response, and that you took as decisive evidence enough that the entire Wikipedia community would be fine with abruptly altering the template without even a discussion on the Template page over it? Oy vey. Do I even have to say it?
* "Anyone who tries to change the template is reverted." - And what does that tell you about Wikipedia' consensus regarding the template? That, combined with how often the template is used, tells you that the vast majority of people are perfectly happy with the template the way it is.
* "That's tyranny." - No, it's asking you to discuss changes before unilaterally making them. Tyranny is more like trying to force your specific views on the entire rest of the world without first talking them over. Which of the two of us is doing that?
* "Wikipedia is not a dictatorship. Everyone shouldn't have to put it through Congress five times and get 100 percent approval from everyone each time just to change it!" - No one said you had to. But you didn't even mention it on any page where anyone was likely to see it, from your own claims. Not even once. I also find it pretty hilarious that you think that requiring the approval of Congress for major changes to be made is a common feature of dictatorships. Maybe you should read up on those pages before accusing someone of being a dictator... Just a thought, take it or leave it.
* "This is just a little template and you guys are treating it like the Constitution." - This is just a little template and you're treating it like a war. Why are you so opposed to discussing this matter civilly and putting it to a consensus decision? This template is used in countless Wikipedia articles, and countless more articles use the exact same format as the template without the actual template text: next to none use your bolded version. No one is saying you can't use a bolded version if you want, but why do you demand that everyone use the exact same template you use? You aren't God.
* "It's not my fault that when I brought it up on the talk page, few listened." - Ah good, so you did bring it up. And when you didn't get an agreement to go ahead with the change, you made the change anyway, because you're so much more important than everyone else. You're right, it's not your fault that noone listened—it's your fault that you took that as a sign to alter the template for your own sake. But I don't hold grudges, so why don't you try again if you feel so strongly about this? Plenty of revolutions have taken an effort to get some attention built up. :P
* "I would if you'd give me half a chance!" - That's nice, but that wasn't my main objection, it was just one of the short-term reasons I reverted the change.
* "Until it's changed I will continue to remove it from the hurricane pages and support any deletion proposals that are put forth." - I'm glad. That's a much healthier and fairer way for you to deal with this than to try to enforce your POV on all of Wikipedia against consensus. Though I expect that if the community of editors working on hurricanes ever do decide that they don't like the bolded version, you'll be willing to listen. As long as that doesn't happen, though, of course you can do what you want with the style of individual articles.
* "And the monarchy you guys are running here" - I thought monarchies were run by individuals, not groups? I think you're trying to accuse us of "tyranny of the majority", not of running a "dictatorship" or a "monarchy". Though I like your specific accusations more, because they're adorable.
* "won't ever allow that unless one of you came up with the idea yourselves." - No, I wouldn't have made the change to the template even if I'd come up with it myself, because I'd have realized that the current template is the version the vast majority prefers. :) Who has an idea has nothing to do with how good an idea is. I've had plenty of terrible ideas, for example. Hell, one could make a decent argument for my spending so much time on this discussion being a terrible idea! But oh well.
* "This template cannot stay the way it is...period." - Why not? People like it, it works well, and it's got a well-established following based on how many people use it, yet it doesn't force any editors who don't like it to use it on the articles they work on (as long as most of the other editors on the same article agree with their style choices) because they can easily simply use alternative ways to implement "main page" links that don't use templates or use alternative templates. Are you that opposed to allowing people to disagree with you?
* "It has no place in Wikipedia otherwise. I have encountered many other people severely irked by this template." - Then start up a petition to get it changed to the way you like it. That's a much more productive way to get things changed than unilateral edits, and will also raise awareness of the issue and thus get a real debate going on this matter. Good luck to you in your venture! If your arguments are compelling enough, I may even end up signing your petition myself. We'll see. (Of course, I see the tricky move you're making with your last line there—you're trying to make it seem like everyone who doesn't like the template agrees with you, when in fact most people with problems with the template have different problems with it. :) Hee. Fun.) -Silence 01:38, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
* All right, the first two paragraphs made a lot of sense. As for the others, I was never trying to force my will on anyone. I would never do that. It's just not me. I was merely saying that I felt the template was being monopolized, to which I strongly objected. I did go a little overboard with the monarchy stuff (insert sarcasm here), but the initial referance was true to my original opinion.
* Gee, you brought up a major template change on an remote article talk page completely unrelated to the template in question. What? I posted it on the Template's talk page. I didn't post it on an article talk page, I don't know where you got that impression.
* The seperate template sounds like a good idea. I still think that all the articles that use it would benefit from the bold link version. Otherwise I wouldn't have made the change. The way it is now, people could easily overlook it. A template of this nature is clearly warrented, I just feel that this one is flawed.
* next to none use your bolded version. How could you possibly know that? Have you been to every page that exists in Wikipedia? I doubt it.
* but why do you demand that everyone use the exact same template you use?. I'm not. I just thought that it would benefit all Wikipedia articles that use it, not just the hurricane pages. I requested change on the template talk page and was ignored. Do you know how agrivating that can be? Asking a question and then being ignored? Very.
* Hey, you know what; I'm kinda tired right now. So I'll make the new template and the other Wikipedia articles can do whatever the heck they want. I'm not trying to be a stick in the mud, I just don't like taking pointless arguments in circles. I've learn how stupid that is. I should go to sleep soon. I start saying stupid stuff when I'm tired (insert sarcasm here).
* Yours was probably the longest talk page post I have ever seen. :)
* Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 03:56, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
* Yes, I probably should have stopped talking after the first two paragraphs, while I was still ahead. That's possibly the most important lesson I have yet to learn in this life: when to shut up. :) Even when my mouth (or my fingers, really; I'm quite concise in real life) doesn't get me into trouble—and it usually does—no one likes reading an essay as a reply. Oh well. Something to work on. (proceeds to write another long post)
* The confusion about which talk page you'd talked on was my fault, I didn't see your coment when I first glanced through the Talk page to see where you'd asked about anything, and I saw "I brought it up on the talk page and only one person said anything and that person agreed with me." in your above comment right after you talked about the hurricane articles and forgot to assume good faith. My bad. You have legitimate reason to be upset that your request got little attention, and there are worse ways than editing the template to get that attention—but you should make it clear, then, that you are changing the template to get people to go to the Talk page to really consider your alternative. The way you worded it, and your above post, made it seem to me like you weren't even interested in starting a real dialogue on the matter, when now it turns out the opposite is the case and you're frustrated because of the lack of dialogue. I understand much better now; perhaps if you tried going to some related Wikipedia project pages, or to the Village pump, you'd have more luck finding feedback.
* "How could you possibly know that? Have you been to every page that exists in Wikipedia? I doubt it." - I meant percentage-wise more than raw quantity-wise. If that wasn't the case, wouldn't I have seen at least a few random pages that use your preferred style, out of the thousands of Wikipedia articles I've visited? I've certainly seen some variances in the "main article" link style, like not indenting the line (a bad idea) and having a "main article" link at the top of the article (also probably a bad idea), but no bolded ones that I can remember. This is not to say that your idea is bad because it's unpopular; but it's lack of use does show that you shouldn't be so quick to assume people will prefer yours to the one they currently have. I'm sure some people will, at least, so your campaign could help spread your idea to those people and thus influence more articles to use the bold-style, but I'd be surprised if most would. But the only way to find out for sure is to raise public awareness of your option and see who likes and doesn't like it!
* "So I'll make the new template and the other Wikipedia articles can do whatever the heck they want." - Now you're talking! :D Out of gratitude, if I see any Wikipedia articles that look like they'd work better with your style, or if I meet anyone who seems interested in something like your suggestion, I'll tell them about the bolded template. -Silence 04:57, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
* Yeah, I have more problems shutting up in real life than in the digital world. I probably will post the idea of the new template on the Village Pump, but I also probably will create the template first. Is there already a template called "Main2"? Hope not. Thanks for the offer to spread the word to anyone interested. "So all's well, now back to brandy, eh?" :) (If you got that reference I'll be very impressed :D). The Hurricane will now leave you in Silence. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 00:50, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
* Whoops, I thought I replied to this already. There's already a main2 template, and a main3, and a main4, and so on: they're the templates for more than one "main article" that I complained about your not changing when you chained the one-term one. That's why I suggested "bmain" or similar to your article; avoid a number. Anyway, good luck! Glad we could resolve this despite a rocky start. And, if that's meant to be a Titanic reference, I'm confused; most people would think less of a person for understanding such a reference, no? -Silence 00:25, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Who were the Knights Templar?
Following the colossal success of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, two new thrillers, The Last Templar and The Templar Legacy, have remained firmly planted on the New York Times best-seller list. These books don't chase the chimera of the Holy Grail, so breathlessly pursued by the two protagonists of the Code; instead they focus on one of the links in the chain of clues in Brown's bookthat of the extraordinary Order of the Knights Templar. The real Templars bear little resemblance to their fictional re-creations. They were founded in the Holy Land in 1119 by two French knights, who swore to devote themselves to the protection of Christian pilgrims visiting Jerusalem and the holy places. Crusaders had captured Jerusalem in 1099 and then struggled to establish an effective military and political structure to protect their conquests. The contribution of these founding knights was tiny, but they quickly captured the imagination of the Western Christian world. Soon, they were given a base in the al-Aqsa Mosque, which Christians believed had been the site of the Temple of Solomon. They received papal recognition at the council of Troyes in Champagne in 1129, where they were described as a military order, a quite unique institution at the time, for they not only swore the usual monastic vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience but made a fourth key promiseto defend the holy places from the infidel. From then on they grew rapidly into an international order, receiving lands in the West that they developed into a great network of preceptories. This enabled them to supply men and money for the cause of the Holy Land, as well as to offer a range of services to crusaders, most important help with finance, a role that they expanded into something like a modern banking service. Such an order might seem invulnerable, but by the early 14th century, the Knights Templar faced a serious crisis. In 1291 the Christians had been driven out of Palestine by the Mamluks of Egypt and were thus obliged to wage the holy war from their remaining base in Cyprus. This expulsion was particularly serious for the Templars, whose prestige and functions were so closely identified with the defense of the sites associated with Christ's life, death, and resurrection. They were desperate to see papal plans for a new crusade take concrete form. In 1307, in response to a request from Pope Clement V, James of Molay, the grand master, therefore traveled to the West to advise the papacy and gather support in the courts of Christendom. It was thus that on Oct. 12, 1307, James of Molay was present in Paris, holding one of the cords of the pall at the funeral of Catherine, wife of Charles of Valois, brother of King Philip IV, the Fair, of France. But the master had no idea what awaited him. Without warning, royal officials, acting on secret orders from Philip, fell upon the Templars living in France, in a coordinated operation that took hundreds into custody. The order for the arrests said that the Templars were not a force dedicated to the defense of the Holy Land, willing to endure martyrdom for their beliefsthey were in fact apostates who denied Christ, spat on crucifixes, engaged in indecent kissing and compulsory sodomy, and worshipped idols. Although rulers outside France initially found the allegations difficult to believe, and the pope was outraged because he had not been consulted, at first sight the charges seemed justified. Most of the Templars confessed to one or more of the allegations, including Molay himself, who repeated his admissions in public in the presence of a select gathering of university theologians. In the end, neither the papal attempt to take over the trial, nor a robust defense of the order led by two Templar lawyer-priests, could shake the impact of these first confessions. In March of 1312, at the Council of Vienne, the pope felt obliged to suppress the order after nearly two centuries of service to the Christian faith. Two years later, on March 14, 1314, Molay and Geoffrey of Charney, preceptor of Normandy, were burnt to death as relapsed heretics on an island in the Seine in the center of Paris. The trial caused a sensation and remains a subject of fascination and speculation seven centuries later. The circumstances are intriguing, not the least because they evoke such striking modern parallels; Stalinist show trials and McCarthyite inquisitions have their medieval precursors. Philip the Fair himself was certainly motivated to suppress the order by an interest in their property, for he presided over a regime in constant financial crisis. Yet as a fanatically pious and often credulous king, he may have genuinely believed that his realm was threatened by a secret anti-Christian conspiracy, which it was his duty to crush. Few historians today doubt that the charges were concocted and the confessions obtained by torture. But Templar innocence has been given no protection against modern sensationalism, for the raw material offered by the order's spectacular demise is too tempting to ignore. Among the first to exploit it were the 18th-century Freemasons. The Freemasons adopted the legend of the murder of Hiram, king of Tyre, who was employed to build Solomon's Temple and was murdered because he would not reveal Masonic secrets. According to the Freemasons' version of history, the Templars were abolished because, as occupants of Solomon's Temple, they held key knowledge that could potentially discredit both church and state. As myth has it, on that March evening in 1314, unique knowledge was supposedly handed down to the care of future generations, making the Templars and their mystery a particularly fertile resource for novelists and popular historians. Sir Walter Scott, whose eye for a gripping story made his books best sellers in their time, created the template for fiction and drama that many have since followed. In Ivanhoe, which he published in 1819, his villainous Templar, Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert, views with contempt the austerities of the first Templars, since whose time he and his fellows have adopted secret practices dedicated to ends of which our pious founders little dreamed. Today, as Casaubon says in Umberto Eco's satire Foucault's Pendulum, The Templars have something to do with everything. Malcolm Barber is emeritus professor of medieval history at the University of Reading, United Kingdom, and the author ofThe New Knighthood: A History of the Order of the Templeand The Trial of the Templars. The Trial will appear as a second edition in summer of 2006. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

* Delete The claims made above are misleading. The use of the phrase dates back at least as far as 1988, when it was used by George H. W. Bush during the Presidental debates, according to this PBS transcript. No evidence has been adduced, thus far, for the NEI's coinage of the phrase at so early a date. The decision made by the National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureaus in 1998 (the "adjuticating" body referred to above) speaks generally to the juxtaposition of "clean" and "nuclear power"; this specific phrase does not appear in any of the coverage of the decision (I cannot find a copy of the decision itself). Having researched all this since the article (which I originally proposed for deletion with Template:Prod) was moved to AfD, I stand by my original assesment: the article is NPOV and of little value, and none of its contents merit an article separate from nuclear power.

The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Heidenstam, Verner von
HEIDENSTAM, Verner von, Swedish poet and novelist: b. Olshammar, province of Nerike, 6 July 1859. He was at first destined to be a painter, but had to relinquish his studies at the Stockholm Art Academy because of ill health, which caused him to undertake extensive travels in southern Europe and the Orient. He was at once greeted as a poet of promise on the publication of his first collection of poems, Vallfat och Vandrinasår, 1888, which was followed by a second collection, ‘Dikter’ (‘Poems’) in 1895. His poems and prose work are filled with a great joy of life, sometimes imbued with a love of Swedish history and scenery, particularly its physical aspects, that avoids none of the excesses of chauvinism. ‘Från Col di Tenda till Bloxberg’ (1888), and ‘Endymion’ (1890) are pictures of travel; ‘Hans Alienus’ (1892) is a long poetic narrative; ‘Karolinerna’ (2 vols., 1897-98) a series of historical portraits of King Charles XII of Sweden and his cavaliers. In ‘Klassizität und Germanismus’ (published in German, Vienna 1901), Heidenstam advocates a sort of artistic exclusiveness, appearing as the champion of the classic spirit, which he considers essentially aristocratic, as opposed to the Germanic attitude which he considers democratic and reprehensible. In 1910 a savage controversy was waged in Swedish newspapers between a number of Swedish literary men, on the topic of the proletarian “degradation” of literature, the protagonists of the two opposing camps being August Strindberg (q.v.) and Heidenstam. Professors Lidforss and Böök also took part. Heidenstam's chief contribution was the pamphlet, directed chiefly against Strindberg, ‘Proletärfilosofians upplösning och fall’ (‘The Decline and Fall of the Proletarian Philosophy’). Translations of short stories from Karolinerna will be found in the American-Scandinavian Review (New York), May 1914, November 1915, and July 1916. The first volume of that work has also appeared in England. | WIKI |

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CallMeCarson (2nd nomination)
CallMeCarson
The result was Keep. Users felt that provided a more compelling case for notability than the nomination did in demonstrating WP:BLP1E. – MJL  ‐Talk‐☖ 16:51, 22 January 2021 (UTC) AfDs for this article:
* – ( View AfD View log )
Fairly clear case of WP:BLP1E (with two events), as no reliable sources seem to discuss his actual YouTube/streaming career (the type of content he produces, for example, is only mentioned in passing in the sources about his controversies). Simple markers of popularity in the form of subscriber counts (currently sourced from SocialBlade) are not sufficient to establish notability under WP:BASIC.
Also possibly applicable: WP:BLPCRIME, as Carson's status as a high-profile individual is questionable given the criteria in WP:PUBLICFIGURE. WP:PSEUDO also seems like an appropriate essay. — Goszei (talk) 05:52, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
* Note: This discussion has been included in the list of People-related deletion discussions. — Goszei (talk) 05:52, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
* Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Internet-related deletion discussions. — Goszei (talk) 05:52, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
* Keep. Full disclosure, I accepted the Draft of this article a few days ago at AfC. In my opinion there should be a guideline with a bright-line rule on YouTuber (or internet personality/entertainer more generally) notability, but that's another discussion for another time. As far as this article goes, I don't think WP:BLP1E applies here. The guideline is clearly designed to weed out articles about folks who were not in any way notable prior to an event, and received coverage only relating to that event. This could be used in cases like Kimberly "Sweet Brown" Wilkins, which redirects (as it should) to Ain't Nobody Got Time for That. In this case, however, Carson's coverage occurred because of his prior notability and status. If an "average joe" had been accused of sexual misconduct involving a minor, it would cause a small and local media blip. In this case, it is much larger. I would be fine with a split of the article into "CallMeCarson" and "CallMeCarson sexual misconduct allegations" (or something similar), but in this case I feel the subject is clearly notable and the article should be kept. AviationFreak 💬 07:04, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
* The assertion that Carson was "notable" in the sense of WP:N under the GNG (the current governing guideline) before these allegations is clearly false. As I stated, the article currently has zero SIGCOV sources about his pre-allegation career, and I am unable to find any through my searches. If we follow that guideline, this is a case of a non-notable individual faced with a WP:BLP1E.You alluded to the idea that there should be a different standard of "notability" for online entertainers, but I disagree with this view – I still think the GNG is important as a foundation for all articles because it establishes that simple popularity (i.e. subscriber count) is not good enough for an article. I generally share the views espoused in WP:HARM that Biographies should not be dominated by a single event in the subject's life. GNG also helps solve this problem: if there was reliable sourcing outside of these controversies, we could write a balanced biography. Because there aren't, it is impossible to do this and the article will remain in this WP:PSEUDO state for the foreseeable future. — Goszei (talk) 08:52, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
* Even outside of this notability-outside-of-one-event problem, the events detailed in the allegations are frankly scandal-mongering/gossip material (WP:SENSATIONAL), so they are not notable. — Goszei (talk) 09:12, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
* I hold to my previously stated views that WP:BLP1E is only designed to apply to people who were not in any way notable prior to their involvement in an event. I also don't think the article's sources are WP:SENSATIONAL, as they are rooted in fact and don't appear to be blowing the story out of proportion or twisting details of it. I'm not sure what you meant by calling "the events detailed in the allegations" scandal-mongering/gossip. Even if current policy does not see Carson as notable (which I'm not convinced it doesn't), I would push for the inclusion of this article based on WP:IAR. Any subject who has millions of people actively interested in and aware of them is notable in my mind, regardless of their coverage in secondary reliable sources. I would say this of any subject with a following of millions, which is why I stated above that there should be a guideline dealing with internet notability. AviationFreak 💬 15:18, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
* I'd also argue that WP:NOTBURO applies here - it's important to have this article up, even if King's past YouTube career isn't well-documented. Theleekycauldron (talk) 03:47, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
* I don't think enforcing policies on living persons is a point of bureaucracy, but rather one of our most important duties as responsible article writers. From WP:BLP: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives; the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment. Right now, the article is question is using the Toronto Sun (a tabloid) and Newsweek (a source considered "generally not reliable" at WP:RSPSRC). This is not good enough under BLP rules, and as I said I contend that it doesn't satisfy notability either. Insider and The Daily Dot are somewhat better, but still in-the-news churnalism that doesn't justify the existence of an article built entirely on biographical controversies. Considering the lack of other sourcing and the fact that Carson will likely not return to the public eye, the article will in likelihood remain in this state indefinitely. WP:NOTATABLOID (an essay) sums up my position rather well. — Goszei (talk) 10:05, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
* Keep: I nominated the article for creation after rewriting it. Mostly, I agree with, and I'd add that King wouldn't be non-notable without the allegations. There are other sources writing about CallMeCarson, and I also agree that there should be a better standard for YouTubers, who can attract massive popularity with little attention from the media. Theleekycauldron (talk) 07:10, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
* Keep: Keep, per the explanation that laid out. The new coverage meets WP:GNG ~RAM (talk) 08:37, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
* Keep: Per AviationFreak. Article easily passes WP:GNG. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 14:20, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
* Comment. If this is not a case of BLP1E (reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event), then there must be at least one source (preferably multiple) that contain significant coverage of the subject outside of the event. As there are zero of these in the article, and no one has provided any, I struggle to see how it passes the GNG (AviationFreak is proposing a notability standard outside of GNG, which is an argument in its own right but not one under the purview of that guideline, to be clear). — Goszei (talk) 01:37, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Page:Littell's Living Age - Volume 125.djvu/334
320 at present this idea is to a slight extent carried out by conducting some of the waters which flow into the Val di Chiana northwards to the Arno. Among the evil omens that foreshadowed the fall of Otho is recorded an inundation which bore death and destruction into the higher districts, before deemed secure from such visitations, and produced that terror of Roman rulers, — a scarcity of food among the common people.
Such were the constantly recurring disasters when Roman power was at its greatest height. In the confusion of the Middle Ages, the only barriers raised against inundation were the ruins of the city, and even in our own day, any attempt to protect Rome by embankment would in all probability be but a postponement of calamity. The scheme now brought forward seems likely to give free passage to the waters, and to avoid the winding reaches which in the existing channel must seriously impede the hurrying flood. To the antiquarian, this question is peculiarly interesting, for who knows what treasures of bronze and of marble, what relics of pomp or war, lie hidden in those reaches of the Tiber between the Ponte St. Angelo and the Marmorata?
To the commercial world the third object proposed — the construction of a ship-canal to Rome — will especially commend itself, and the co-operation of Prince Torlonia will greatly facilitate its realization. He undertakes to aid in reopening the port which Claudius constructed to take the place of the still more ancient port of Ostia, and he will drain the lake of Trajan. The preparation of the necessary plans is said to have been already entrusted to an English firm, and it is hoped that the works will be commenced at an early date. But the port must not only be reopened, — it must be kept permanently clear. The old mouth of the Tiber has long been rendered useless by the vast accumulation of sand. The coast-line has grown two miles beyond the port of Trajan. The work to be undertaken is great, and will entail watchful care for the future. While answering to their leader's call, the Italians should give heed to his advice to imitate the steadfastness of England.
interesting facts about the woodcarving industry of the Bernese Oberland are given in a recent official report from Mr. Jenner. This industry, which does not date further back than 1815, now furnishes employment for upwards of two thousand workmen, and within the last few years the sales have risen to an average of nearly 80,000l. These sums have sufficed to spread ease over districts the inhabitants of which were formerly much pinched by want; the work, too, is of such a nature that it does not interfere with many other avocations. The cowherd and shepherd tending their flocks in the Alpine pasturages, the charcoal-burner watching his fires, and the peasant families sitting round their stoves, during the long winter evenings, can, at the expense of but little physical exertion, add greatly to their store of comforts by means of some little skill in carving. A very large proportion of the cheaper articles are actually produced in this manner. The wages of regular workmen range from one to eight francs a day. Almost every variety of timber may be utilized; fir, lime, walnut, oak, pear, and apple trees have all their special applications, and of late years the most renowned makers have taken to carve "palissandre" or rosewood, mahogany, cedar, &c. Side by side with the wood-carving industry, but greatly surpassing it in pecuniary results, is the manufacture of parquets, which is of still more recent introduction. This trade is carried on in eighteen out of the twenty-two cantons of Switzerland, and is now in the most flourishing condition. As nearly as can be ascertained, the annual production of the twenty odd establishments which carry it on reaches the value of 8,000,000 francs (320,000l.). Scarcely a Swiss house with any pretension to comfort is now built without a parquet in at least one of its rooms.
is a singular sketch from Winstanley's "Lives of the Most Famous English Poets; or, the Honor of Parnassus," 1687: "John Milton was one whose natural parts might deservedly give him a place among the principal of our English poets, having written two heroick poems and a tragedy, namely 'Paradise Lost,' 'Paradise Regain'd,' and ' Sampson Agonista.' But his Fame is gone out like a Candle in a Snuff, and his Memory will always stink, which might have ever lived in honourable Repute, had not he been a notorious Traytor, and most impiously and villanously bely'd that Blessed Martyr King Charles the First." | WIKI |

DBI::ProfileDumper
Section: User Contributed Perl Documentation (3)
Updated: 2021-01-27
Page Index
NAME
DBI::ProfileDumper - profile DBI usage and output data to a file
SYNOPSIS
To profile an existing program using DBI::ProfileDumper, set the DBI_PROFILE environment variable and run your program as usual. For example, using bash:
DBI_PROFILE=2/DBI::ProfileDumper program.pl
Then analyze the generated file (dbi.prof) with dbiprof:
dbiprof
You can also activate DBI::ProfileDumper from within your code:
use DBI;
# profile with default path (2) and output file (dbi.prof)
$dbh->{Profile} = "!Statement/DBI::ProfileDumper";
# same thing, spelled out
$dbh->{Profile} = "!Statement/DBI::ProfileDumper/File:dbi.prof";
# another way to say it
use DBI::ProfileDumper;
$dbh->{Profile} = DBI::ProfileDumper->new(
Path => [ '!Statement' ],
File => 'dbi.prof' );
# using a custom path
$dbh->{Profile} = DBI::ProfileDumper->new(
Path => [ "foo", "bar" ],
File => 'dbi.prof',
);
DESCRIPTION
DBI::ProfileDumper is a subclass of DBI::Profile which dumps profile data to disk instead of printing a summary to your screen. You can then use dbiprof to analyze the data in a number of interesting ways, or you can roll your own analysis using DBI::ProfileData.
NOTE: For Apache/mod_perl applications, use DBI::ProfileDumper::Apache.
USAGE
One way to use this module is just to enable it in your $dbh:
$dbh->{Profile} = "1/DBI::ProfileDumper";
This will write out profile data by statement into a file called dbi.prof. If you want to modify either of these properties, you can construct the DBI::ProfileDumper object yourself:
use DBI::ProfileDumper;
$dbh->{Profile} = DBI::ProfileDumper->new(
Path => [ '!Statement' ],
File => 'dbi.prof'
);
The "Path" option takes the same values as in DBI::Profile. The "File" option gives the name of the file where results will be collected. If it already exists it will be overwritten.
You can also activate this module by setting the DBI_PROFILE environment variable:
$ENV{DBI_PROFILE} = "!Statement/DBI::ProfileDumper";
This will cause all DBI handles to share the same profiling object.
METHODS
The following methods are available to be called using the profile object. You can get access to the profile object from the Profile key in any DBI handle:
my $profile = $dbh->{Profile};
flush_to_disk
$profile->flush_to_disk()
Flushes all collected profile data to disk and empties the Data hash. Returns the filename written to. If no profile data has been collected then the file is not written and flush_to_disk() returns undef.
The file is locked while it's being written. A process 'consuming' the files while they're being written to, should rename the file first, then lock it, then read it, then close and delete it. The "DeleteFiles" option to DBI::ProfileData does the right thing.
This method may be called multiple times during a program run.
empty
$profile->empty()
Clears the Data hash without writing to disk.
filename
$filename = $profile->filename();
Get or set the filename.
The filename can be specified as a CODE reference, in which case the referenced code should return the filename to be used. The code will be called with the profile object as its first argument.
DATA FORMAT
The data format written by DBI::ProfileDumper starts with a header containing the version number of the module used to generate it. Then a block of variable declarations describes the profile. After two newlines, the profile data forms the body of the file. For example:
DBI::ProfileDumper 2.003762
Path = [ '!Statement', '!MethodName' ]
Program = t/42profile_data.t
+ 1 SELECT name FROM users WHERE id = ?
+ 2 prepare

The lines beginning with "+" signs signify keys. The number after the "+" sign shows the nesting level of the key. Lines beginning with "=" are the actual profile data, in the same order as in DBI::Profile.
Note that the same path may be present multiple times in the data file since "format()" may be called more than once. When read by DBI::ProfileData the data points will be merged to produce a single data set for each distinct path.
The key strings are transformed in three ways. First, all backslashes are doubled. Then all newlines and carriage-returns are transformed into "\n" and "\r" respectively. Finally, any NULL bytes ("\0") are entirely removed. When DBI::ProfileData reads the file the first two transformations will be reversed, but NULL bytes will not be restored.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Delete or merge?
* Delete for lack of documentation about the organization as an organization. Moreover, it's a fringe-y subject area, where studies of meditation practices and spiritual belief systems spill over into credulous acceptance of "psi" and "psychoenergetics". One of the ATP's past presidents was a senior editor at the Journal of Things Which, If They Worked, Would Just Be Called "Medicine". Another was also a director of a parapsychology outfit. None of that rules out our having an article on the group, but it does mean we need sources outside their bubble to write a properly encyclopedic page. XOR'easter (talk) 18:27, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

* Merge to Journal of Transpersonal Psychology, the most appropriate target (although I'm a bit surprised fringeophobes haven't tried to delete that as well). The ATP seems somewhat significant in the transpersonal psychology field, and while I haven't found enough coverage to warrant a stand-alone article, scant coverage of the formation of the ATP exists in reliable sources and merging/redirecting is preferable to outright deletion per WP:ATD-M. The Board of Directors list can be purged entirely as unencyclopedic trivia. --Animalparty! (talk) 06:35, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

* Comment Usually we merge obscure or gray-area journals to the organizations that publish them, rather than vice versa, since publishing the journal is usually only one of the organization's activities, and so it's easier to establish wiki-notability of the organization. The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology doesn't appear to be indexed in Scopus, and finding anything in-depth and independent about its history is something of a challenge, so if it came to AfD it might have a rough time. We do have Transpersonal psychology, which seems like a good enough spot to merge/redirect any organization or publication in the area whose wiki-notability is not clear-cut. XOR'easter (talk) 17:42, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
* Happy with merge. I think there's some info in the article that may be able to provide context if it was in another article - but their structure is pretty wiggly so it's a bit unclear where to merge to:
* From the ATP article: Both ATP and JTP are divisions of the Transpersonal Institute, a nonprofit organization. With considering the Association for Transpersonal Psychology as a Non-profit organisation. Sourced. I'm pretty sure the first time it says nonprofit, they meant for-profit - otherwise the 2nd sentence breaks Grice's maxims, and it'd be wrong based on the other things I've gathered.
* From the JTP article: [JTP] is ... published by the Association for Transpersonal Psychology. ... In the mid-1970s the journal was published by Transpersonal Institute. (with TI linking to Sofia Uni; both statements unsourced)
* From the Sofia Uni article: Sofia University is a private for-profit university in Palo Alto, California. It was originally founded as the California Institute of Transpersonal Psychology by Robert Frager and James Fadiman in 1975. This one was... oversourced. The article also says it was the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology for a few decades.
* The Sofia Uni website confirms that it's for-profit. The "About" page of their site otherwise broadly confirms the information about on the Sofia Uni article. I know that Californian law doesn't love companies lying about their for-profit status, so that's probably true. The rest of the stuff, who knows. JTP and ATP didn't come up when I searched on their site.
* The ATP website doesn't mention Sofia Uni as far as I can tell, although it is also in Palo Alto. It does talk about the journal: Transpersonal psychology was first announced and defined with the publication of The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology, in 1969. ... In 1972 the Association for Transpersonal Psychology was established ...
* I genuinely am not sure if it is actually related to Sofia Uni, but I think it's probably the best place to redirect the article to as it is (maybe) the parent organisation. Also, I'm pretty sure JTP is actually notable - it seems to have been one of the first journals in transpersonal psych and is mentioned as significant to the history of the field in some journal articles. It is weird for a journal but not an organisation to be notable, but that is the case here as far as I can tell. --Xurizuri (talk) 04:16, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
* Merge to Journal of Transpersonal Psychology per WP:ATD.4meter4 (talk) 20:29, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
* Merge to Journal of Transpersonal Psychology is fine. In the future, we can revisit whether that particular journal deserves inclusion in WP, but in the meantime it seems reasonable to redirect users to that article if they happen to google the association, for whatever reason. jps (talk) 02:04, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Add to the to do list coord
Bold assertion. The coord documentation is a programmer's comment rather than a useful description of the template. All the detail is there but you need to be seriously committed to find it- and have background knowledge gleaned from other templates to interpret it. It is a protected page, so I couldn't do the decent thing- a rewrite. Please can we put that task on the to do list, and ask someone who if further away from the coding to do the task.ClemRutter (talk) 08:11, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
* Actually, the documentation is not protected, but it's transcluded on the protected template page from Template:Coord/doc. Anyone can still edit and clarify the documentation. I suggest we organise something to keep all the various pages with instructions for coordinate use in sync and not just the template documentation. Or if it's possible to make the documentation better than it has ever been with any coordinate template, change all those other instructions to link to the template page instead. --Para (talk) 11:36, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Photos with GPS in the metadata
Question about a number of photos I've recently been uploading. All of them are tagged with GPS from my camera, yet none seem to upload with the coordinates. The metadata seems to be there (the page lists the satellites, altitude, etc) but no specific coordinates. Is there any automatic way to get the coordinates to appear? here's a sample: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Chappaquiddick_bridge.jpg If not, are there ways of us entering the data by hand? Arwcheek (talk) 22:44, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
* Please refer to commons:Commons:Geocoding (might have to check the archive). I operate a bot that extrats EXIF geodata and inserts the propper geocoding templates. Oh, yeah, and don't upload PD images to en.wp, use commons. --Dschwen 22:50, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
* Arwcheek, I believe images uploaded to/via Upload (instead of directly the English Wikipedia) are processed by Commons:User:DschwenBot once or twice a day? Commons:Special:Contributions/DschwenBot indicates it last added Locations on July 15th. See Bots/Requests for flags/DschwenBot, the source code for what it does is Commons:User:DschwenBot/source. On Commons, it would create something "similar" to: (I did not read your image's extended EXIF GPS tags, Wikipedia does not display the GPS coordinates, those coordinates are from Chappaquiddick incident) I am not sure if "alt:" is in the same units (feet or meters)? I believe Meters is the preferred unit when a unit is not specified, and "heading:?" is a "hint" that you need to manually replace the '?' question mark with a Boxing the compass heading (i.e. 0 to 360 or N,S,E,W NE,SE,SW,NW NNE,ENE,ESE,SSE,SSW,WSW,WNW,NNW NbE,NEbN,NEbE,EbN,EbS,SEbE,SEbS,SbE,SbW,SWbS,SWbW,WbS,WbN,NWbW,NWbN,NbW).
* "type:" can be specified, it defaults to "landmark" (on Commons), "scale:" can be specified, it defaults to 5000 (on Commons). mapsources.php has the defined types: country,state,adm1st,adm2nd,city,mountain,isle,airport,landmark and their corresponding default scales (see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geographical coordinates above).
* Commons is a site where images or some other "common" files can be shared between the various Wikis. An image uploaded to Commons is retrieved as if it were uploaded directly to the English Wikipedia, but can also be retrieved by the other language Wikis and sites as well. The "disadvantage" to Commons is that anything uploaded there needs to be Public Domain or some variation of Creative Commons licensing with few exceptions, i.e. minimal "Copyrighted-Fair Use" content, whereas some "Fair Use" content can be uploaded to the English Wikipedia when certain guidelines are followed.
* Arwcheek, I believe images uploaded (directly) to the English Wikipedia (instead of Commons) are not processed by DschwenBot. So your options are either to move your images from the English Wikipedia to Commons, or to manually geocode them: Chappaquiddick incident has 41.37333°N, -70.45369°W, if those coordinates are accurate, then would be an appropriate Commons geocoding. The Commons:Template:Location works similar to the Wikipedia En:Template:Coord which would be The Coord and Location templates are a functionality merging of the family of Coor templates (Coor d, Coor dm, Coor dms, Coor at d, Coor at dm, Coor at dms, Coor title d, Coor title dm, and Coor title dms) into one template.
* Several "undocumented" and "unimplemented" optional parameters are appearing without the underlying source code (mapsources.php) and templates being updated to properly handle them. In particular: altitude "alt:" or elevation, several new "type:" parameters without "scale:" being properly defaulted or set, a few new "source:" parameters. I agree that these new "features" add value and should be implemented, but some proper process needs to be followed so that all the pieces get updated appropriately and do not break. I would like to see: 3-D coordinates (altitude/elevation), the new types seem reasonable, and I would like to see a standard list of defined sources: besides "GNIS" (like: "EXIF"; GPS with some optional indication of 2D, 3D, differential 2D, differential 3D, military/surveying "L1+L2" high-precision ...; manually plotted with Google Earth, Google maps; ... I do not disagree with the additions, just that an appropriate "process" is needed. LeheckaG (talk) 07:02, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Category:Coord template needing repair
I recently updated template Infobox Protected area to optionally accept a coords parameter instead of the 8 lat_degrees, lat_minutes, ... long_seconds, long_direction values. (Yes, it still accepts the 8 parameters for backward compatibility. If coords= is used, it trumps the old parameters.)
I was updating the documentation and decided to enhance the examples showing the full power of coord as many wikiproject members have asked for various aspects of its functionality provided by the infobox template. Part the motivation for the new infobox parameter is avoiding the need for an infobox parameter for every possible display/scale/name/region/world/etc. In adding scale:N, I noticed it has no effect on the generated URL. That is gives 45.20944°N, -123.76556°W while gives 45.20944°N, -123.76556°W. Same URLs, right? Am I doing something wrong? —EncMstr (talk) 06:55, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Decimal coord and scale?
While writing the last section, I originally used decimal—rather than DMS—format, but got grief from coord with the addition of a scale parameter. That is gives 45.123°N, -123.123°W Removal of the scale parameter gives 45.123°N, -123.123°W. Huh? —EncMstr (talk) 06:55, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Coordinate parameters versus Template parameters
Try: which produces: 45.20944°N, -123.76556°W
The '|' pipe or vertical bar character you placed before "scale:" ends the "Coordinate" parameters and begins the "Template" parameters. The later "Template" parameters are either: "display=" with "inline" "inline,title" or "title" choices and "format=" either "dec" or "dms".
Would people find it useful if I or someone else wrote up a Extended Backus–Naur Form or Augmented Backus–Naur Form summary of the template syntax? Like:
""
Where latitude-direction is either 'N' or 'S', longitude-direction is either 'E' or 'W', ...
The above is "unofficial" from my everyday usage of the template, if it would be useful, I can reverse-engineer Coord (I did not write it, I just use it a lot) and write-up a formal ABNF or EBNF for the template and post it on the documentation?
While not "formally" correct, a "Wiki-simplified" version of the above might look like:
°N, °W
"Takers", Comments, Preferences: for "Wiki-simplified", EBNF, ABNF, BNF, or some other form? LeheckaG (talk) 07:30, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
* The most useful to me is 2 or 3 well-chosen examples. One basic, but useful. One using every feature properly and usefully. And maybe something in between. If that were the focus of the documentation, reading the rest wouldn't be necessary, except for the most esoteric or ambiguous cases. Even then, a little experimentation goes a long way. —EncMstr (talk) 07:36, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
* I think I get it! My problem was that I was parsing type:landmark_region:US as one syntactic item—in my mind, a magic cookie saying that the coordinate is a "landmark region" in the US. I now see that the underscore is a delimiter! (I now see that fact in the documentation too!) That—you have to admit—goes against all previous experience. Underscores_are_syntactic_fluff_which_most_readers_regard_much_like_a_space_not_a_delimiter. In most programming contexts, they are allowed as part of identifiers. But I felt I had to delimit scale:. It was simply bad luck that coord ignores all parameters after number nine.
* So the critical documentation issue is:
°N, °W
* where qualifiers include
* type:{country|state|adm1st|adm2nd|city|mountain|isle|waterbody|landmark|forest|river|glacier|edu|pass}
* scale:N
* region:XX
* globe:XXXX (if not earth)
* source:xxxx (wickedly complicated)
* Assuming I am now on track, that's the emphasis the documentation should have. (It doesn't help that the information is in divided into several places.) —EncMstr (talk) 16:09, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
LeheckaG (talk) 16:56, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
* The Coordinate parameters (region:, scale:, type:, source:, ... separated by underscores) are "one" template parameter from the Coor and Coord templates point of view, they are passed on "as is" to GeoHack on the ToolServer as part of a URL, which then parses them into individual parameters (using the underscore to delimit them).
* The "name to use if not the pagename" is NOT accurate, if no "name=" is specified, then no "&title=" parameter is generated nor passed to GeoHack.
* Have a look at the first example at Template:Infobox Protected area. (Note that "display=title,inline" is shown in the formatted example text for cut-and-paste use, but is omitted in the active wikicode to not mess up the page from all the examples.)
* The generated coord URL is http://stable.toolserver.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Template:Infobox_Protected_area¶ms=37_50_0_N_119_30_0_W_type:landmark_region:US_scale:300000. The pagename parameter shows up on the GeoHack page as the title Template:Infobox Protected area. Compare that with the fourth (and last) example which uses a name parameter. That gives the URL http://stable.toolserver.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Template:Infobox_Protected_area¶ms=51_56_10_N_112_57_41_W_type:landmark_region:CA_scale:100000&title=Dry+Island+Buffalo+Jump+Provincial+Park. It still has pagename, but added title which appears to override pagename on the GeoHack page. That's what I intended to convey above. The URLs on the GeoHack page incorporate the title for the point name. (Why doesn't it for Google, Yahoo, and a few other maps?) —EncMstr (talk) 17:24, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
* Yes, "PAGENAME" and "title=" are two different parameters in the generated URL which Geohack can use. The current GeoHack Template implementation (see: Template:GeoTemplate and Template:GeoTemplate/doc) if a "title=" is not supplied, then uses "PAGENAME" for Title (this occurs on ToolServer in the GeoTemplate, and not on Wiki in the Coor or Coord templates). It is a "bug" in what the GeoHack template/ToolServer then does (sometimes passing it and sometimes not depending on which action/service is chosen). The GeoGroupTemplate "Map all coordinates" does label each Google Map point with their "name=" parameters. LeheckaG (talk) 17:57, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
* I'm having trouble telling right from wrong in your answers. You say that name=name_to_use_if_not_the_pagename is wrong, but you just said that name= overrides pagename in the generated title. What's the distinction? —EncMstr (talk) 18:30, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
* I am in the process of reverse engineering the GeoHack/ToolServer GeoTemplate to better answer your post. PAGENAME and title= are (2) distinct parameters in Template:GeoTemplate, the "quick" answer is that while "PAGENAME" might display in the "title" heading in the the top left portion of the page IF a title= parameter is not supplied; if title= is not supplied, the GeoTemplate does NOT actually replace "title=" with PAGENAME. So when a link is clicked on from the ToolServer.Org GeoHack page, it still uses the title= parameter (and NOT the PAGENAME) parameter - but all of that is dependent on the GeoTemplate code ... which I am going through...
* The "quick" answer to the comment about (title=name) not being passed on to maps: they are for some (MapQuest, Microsoft Live, ...) and not for others (Google, Yahoo, ...) it is a matter of how GeoTemplate is coded. I will be working on a table indicating which links do and which do not. LeheckaG (talk) 18:44, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
* I don't think name= really overrides, but that it is used for different things than the article name. In Arlington National Cemetery there are coordinates for the cemetery. Down in Arlington National Cemetery is a GeoGroupTemplate which offers this Google Maps display of more coordinates in the article]. The name= parameter is used to label the coordinates, as the article name is not appropriate for all the coordinates. Some tools use the article name if name= is not provided, but the article name is used by some tools despite the name= usage (such as a map being labeled with the article name even if all coordinates have differing name= contents). -- SEWilco (talk) 14:22, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
* See the table I posted below, there are only (2) links on ToolServer/GeoHack (GeoTemplate) which actually use the article's PAGENAME:
* "All coordinates"
* OpenStreetMap
* which is why if name= is not supplied, then the coordinates do not get labeled with a name on a map.
* There are several which do pass on the name= parameter (which is passed on in the URL as title=),
* but there are also notable ones like Google and Yahoo for which the parameter is not passed.
* GeoTemplate can be updated to "fix" things better, since it is high-use/high-profile, I am not sure what the release control process is? LeheckaG (talk) 15:25, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
* The pagename is always provided to GeoHack, and the services that use it may expect to find the source article with it. Some services use a name for the coordinates, possibly displaying it on the map. These are two different purposes. When the coordinates haven't been named explicitly, GeoHack assumes the coordinates are for the object of the article, and since it knows the name of the page, it fills the title with that information. All this is done to get a meaningful name for the coordinates.
* The reason some services don't show a name is that they don't support displaying a name at all or they don't support some common characters in Wikipedia article names, and GeoHack doesn't yet have functionality for selective character replacement. This was discussed on Template talk:GeoTemplate. Any fixes should probably be discussed on wiki before dumping suggestions on the developer(s?). --Para (talk) 12:07, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
* If you view the Template:GeoTemplate source code, you can see that PAGENAME is only used by the (2) GeoHack selections I documented above, it is never actually copied to "title=", which is what the many of the GeoHack links are set-up to use. Given that many articles either have PAGENAMEs which might not be "best" displayed on a map or they contain more than one set of coordinates, it is probably best to always set "name=" to something which makes sense so that "title=" is always filled in. While some services have no provision for a name, for those which do, either "title=" could be used if they support it, or it can be copied to whatever format/parameter name that service uses. The issue is that it requires research to figure out what each service accepts and uses, which the GeoHack developers may not have had the resources to do. The services which use "PAGENAME" usually backlink to the Wikipedia page, and then extract information from that article (from instance Map All Coordinates extracting all article coordinates). LeheckaG (talk) 13:25, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
* See Template:GeoTemplate/doc and GeoHack source code if you're in doubt: {pagename} is copied to {title} when no title is provided, so most services have no reason to use pagename specifically, unless indeed they support a more complex description with hyperlinks. Researching what all the services support and don't support doesn't need to be left for developers, since we're in an environment with lots of volunteers. Some guidance might be necessary though. --Para (talk) 13:47, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
* I do not see {pagename} copied to {title} in Template:GeoTemplate, here are the only (2) {pagename} references which I see:
! id="title" | Title (All coordinates)
* This displays {pagename} after {title}, but does NOT copy {pagename} to {title}:
* headers="title" colspan="3"| {title}
Check Openstreetmap Map Features of this area
* This passes {pagename} and not {title} to OpenStreetMap via ToolServer:
Those are the only (2) references to {pagename} I see on Template:GeoTemplate. If you are aware of the place and source code link where it is copied, then I would like to see it (it may well, but I have not seen it). LeheckaG (talk) 14:37, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
* GeoTemplate is not filled by MediaWiki, so there is very little the template itself can do. The tool that fills in the template is called GeoHack, and it's its source code you need to look at. In this case the relevant line is in mapsources.php, where the default value for the title is the pagename. --Para (talk) 21:41, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
* I see Coord transcludes Coord/link transcludes Coor URL which loads geohack.php.
* I am not sure if this is the "production" version; How does one tell which geohack and mapsources versions are?
* https://fisheye.toolserver.org/browse/geohack/www/geohack.php?r=2 has:
13 include "geo_param.php" ; 14 include "mapsources.php" ; ... 50 # Read template 51 $pagename = "Template:GeoTemplate" ; 52 #$pagename = get_request ( "altpage", "Template:GeoTemplate" ) ; 53 $page = @file_get_contents ( "http://{$lang}.wikipedia.org/wiki/$pagename" ) ; ... 103 # Build the page 104 $md->thetext = $page ; 105 $page = $md->build_output ;
* "build_output" calls a class/function in https://fisheye.toolserver.org/browse/geohack/www/mapsources.php?r=3#l287 (revised link from above - which is "production"?) which has:
287 $r_pagename = get_request( 'pagename', '' ) ; 288 $r_pagename = str_replace ( '&', "&" , $r_pagename ) ; 289 $r_pagename = str_replace ( '"', """ , $r_pagename ) ; 290 $r_title = get_request( 'title', $r_pagename ) ; 291 $r_title = str_replace ( '&' , "&" , $r_title ) ; 292 $r_title = str_replace ( '"' , """ , $r_title ) ;
* looking at what "get_request" does: http://phpldapadmin.sourceforge.net/function-ref/phpLDAPadmin/_lib---functions.php.html says:
get_request [line 450] void get_request( $attr, [ $type = null], [ $die = false], [ $default = null])
Return the result of a form variable, with optional default
Parameters $attr $type $die $default
* so geohack reads GeoTemplate, but then mapsources replaces title if it is blank.
* If you click on the coordinates to the right of the Globe under the sub-section heading above: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geographical coordinates, the URL generated by Coord and Coord/link Coor URL has:

* Similarly, if you hover over "Live Search Maps", "Ask.Com", "ACME Mapper", "GeaBios", "GPS Visualizer", ...
* If I follow one of those links, I get "South Point (Mount Hebo)" and not "Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Geographical coordinates" as the label.

* Yes, since "title" is blank, mapsources.php does replace it with "pagename" in the links when you hover or click on the links.

Talk:Employee assistance program/Bullying
Workplace bullying concerns
In-house EAP counselors are employees of the organization and are, therefore, under management control and may not be neutral. Contracted EAPs are paid by management so their neutrality is questionable as well. In a unionized workplace EA counselors are usually in management. Furthermore, management generally use Human Resources (HR) and EAPs in an unwitting collusion to further bully the target. HR representatives may contact the in-house EAP counselor seeking the target's confidential information and even going so far as directing the counselor to ask a specific question(s) to obtain key information that may be useful for further action against the target. Generally, the objective of the bully is to make the target resign and this is referred to as constructive dismissal. EAPs are not designed to help the target and are sometimes manipulated by both the union and management to the detriment of the target.
Sometimes a target will contact the EAP complaining about workplace bullying and an EAP counselor may come to the workplace and give a generic respectful workplace group presentation. However, this presentation, as reflected in typical promotional material, will imply that bullying is co-worker(s) on co-worker that occurs only because management is unaware of the situation, rather than as the manager as the bully and research indicates that 70% to 81% of bullies are bosses. Typically, managers in attendance will announce they have an "open door policy" and staff can come to them at any time with any concerns. But, bully managers often encourage their staff to join in and many do either willing or unwittingly. Also, the counselor may highlight human rights laws, but workplace bullying is generally outside human rights laws particularly if manager and the target are of the same race and sex, or if the manager belongs to a minority group but the target doesn't. Typically, these presentations skirt the specific problem the target is experiencing.
Many managers view EAP enrollment as demeaning to the employee or a means to “straighten out” the target. Management or even a union steward (who is hostile towards the target) may leak to the target's co-workers that the target has entered into an EAP to make the target appear unstable and weak thus further undermining and isolating the target.
Typically, when the bullying turns critical, management with the help of HR will fabricate frivolous work performance allegations against the target and apply a progressive discipline policy (i.e. reprimand, suspension and dismissal). In an unionized workplace the collective agreement usually suggests that under-performing employees voluntarily enter an EAP program. EAP's are based on the premise that the unsatisfactory work performance is due to non-workplace factors such as substance abuse, financial problems, family and/or relationship conflicts, physical or emotional illness, however, these are unrelated to or the cause of workplace bullying, so the EAP is unlikely to help the target. Usually, union relations officers encourage the target to enter EAPs in anticipation of a possible suspension or dismissal as the EAP involvement may be used as a component of the legal defense strategy to make it appear to an arbitration tribunal that the target was making a serious effort to correct their alleged performance problems. If the target is unwilling to enter a EAP, then management may use this at an arbitration tribunal to make it appear that the target has a "bad attitude". Generally, the employer will use as many fabricated false allegations and witnesses as possible, but this usually results in management's own extensive and glaring evidence and testimony inconsistencies that can be bizarre. Also, prior to the tribunal some of management's potential witnesses may panic and try to avoid being called as a witness by discrediting themselves. Management's potential witnesses are often motivated by envy toward the target, trying to use or sabotage the target to further their own careers, or are unwitting bully participants coupled with groupthink.
Employees' acceptance
The concerns that employees may have about internal EAPs, however, have been shown to wane after using the program. In Harlow's large sample of employees with access to an internal EAP, having utilized the program predicted employees' increased favorable ratings of the EAP as a benefit, including the perceived ease of access, decreased sense of a negative effect on their career from using the service, increased perception of the maintenance of confidentiality, and increased sense of overall effectiveness. Harlow posited that the small proportion of employees who typically utilize an internal EAP contributes to the promulgation of negative perceptions of such programs, and that these perceptions decrease dramatically when employees actually use the service. However, the conclusion of this study stated: "Because the results of the study were specific to one EAP organization, any generalizations of the findings must be made with caution." | WIKI |

Florence Arlene Small
Florence Arlene Small (March 27, 1879 - September 28, 1916) was the victim of a brutal murder in her Ossipee, New Hampshire home. Her husband, Frederick L. Small was convicted of the crime and was hanged January 15, 1918.
Personal life
Florence Arlene Small (nee Curry) was born in Brooklyn, New York, on March 27, 1879. She married Frederick L. Small, a Boston broker, in Fayville, Massachusetts, in December 1911. The newspaper reporter believed it was on the 3rd. Florence Arlene and her husband moved to Ossipee, New Hampshire, in May of 1914.
Small was survived by her mother, Elizabeth Curry, and sister, Norma Curry.
Scene of the crime
Small's body was found in the ruins of her home, Mountain View. The house had been destroyed by fire which, because of the remoteness of the cottage, enveloped the house before rescuers could intervene. Though she was badly burned by the fire, examiners found Small to have "a cord about her neck, a bullet wound over one eye and wounds on the head."
Murder charge
Frederick L. Small was charged with murdering his wife, allegedly to collect $20,000 from an insurance policy. Judge John Kivel presided. Attorney William S. Matthews served as Small's senior counsel. County Solicitor Walter Hill and Attorney General James P. Tuttle represented the prosecution. Police Inspector Andrew Houghton of a Boston-based detective agency investigated the case.
Testimony
Local residents of Ossipee testified at the trial to the character of Frederick L. Small and his aggressive physical and verbal behavior towards his wife. Helen Connor testified that when she complimented Small on his wife's cooking, he said that "sometimes he had to take the axe to her." In addition, Philip L. Davis stated that Small "kicked his wife, swore at her, and ordered her into the house" after a flagpole they were trying to install fell to the ground. The local physician testified that he was called to the Small establishment where he found the woman bleeding. Small admitted that he had "struck her over the head with a bootjack; damn it, I should kill her. I will kill her."
According to testimony presented by the State, within 30 minutes after Florence Arlene ate lunch, Small beat, strangled, and shot his wife before leaving on a trip to Boston. This trip served as Small's alibi, since he was out of town when the house caught on fire. Small had with him his Masonic apron and other valuable papers, even though the trip was to be a short one. However, chemical residue (resin) was found smeared on the torso of Florence's body. Small's 32-caliber automatic pistol (which matched the bullet found on the left side of her forehead) and a clock, that served as a mechanism to start the fire remotely, were found in the house's ruins. This circumstantial evidence led prosecutors to argue the death of Florence Arlene Small was premeditated and not accidental.
Sentencing and appeal
Frederick L. Small was found by a jury to be guilty of first degree murder with a stipulation of capital punishment. Small maintained his innocence.
By New Hampshire law at the time, a year and a day was required between "the passing of a death sentence and its execution." In January 1918, a petition to stay Small's execution was filed. The document alleged that one of the jurors stated that "he knew Small was guilty" before any evidence had been presented in the case. Small's lawyers also filed a motion for a new trial. Both were denied.
Small was hanged on January 15, 1918. | WIKI |
Herb Pfuhl
Herbert Pfuhl Jr. (April 25, 1928 – August 18, 2011) was an American politician and teacher. Pfuhl was the longest serving Mayor of Johnstown, Pennsylvania in the municipality's history, serving six terms as head of the city from 1971 to 1977 and again from 1982 to his retirement in 1993.
Pfuhl faced major challenges during his two-decade long career as the elected chief of Johnstown, including population decline, the 1977 Johnstown flood and the collapse of the steel industry, which included one of the city's biggest employers, Bethlehem Steel. However, Pfuhl has been credited with having revitalized downtown Johnstown's business district and successfully lobbying for millions in aid from the U.S. federal government for economic development.
Early life
Pfuhl was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, in 1928 to German immigrant parents who had moved to the United States during the 1920s. Pfuhl's father, Herbert L. Pfuhl, moved to Johnstown from Berlin, Germany. His mother, Anna Schweitzer, moved to Johnstown from a rural region of Germany when she was 16 years old. She worked as a maid for a Johnstown family, the Suppes. Anna Schweitzer was also a relative of Albert Schweitzer, a prominent physician and theologian. Both became students at Johnstown High School, where they learned English. The couple met while both were attending the Zion Lutheran Church and soon married.
Pfuhl remained a resident of Johnstown for his entire life, eventually settling in the Roxbury neighborhood of the city. He grew up in a home with coal stoves heating the room. Pfuhl enlisted in the United States Navy during World War II. He graduated from Johnstown High School in 1946. He then earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Pittsburgh. Pfuhl was a Presbyterian. He worked in public education before entering politics. He was a teacher and coach in the Ferndale Area School District in Cambria County, Pennsylvania. Pfuhl also served in the Pennsylvania National Guard.
Mayor of Johnstown
Pfuhl served six terms as Mayor of Johnstown, the longest tenure of any chief executive in city history. He helped guide Johnstown's transition from a commission government to a local government consisting of a strong mayor and city council. He helped move Johnstown to its present system of governing based on a city manager.
Pfuhl ran for Mayor of Johnstown during six mayoral elections, winning five of the six campaigns. He was elected as a Republican, despite Johnstown's reputation as a stronghold of the Democratic Party. Pfuhl was elected to his first term as mayor in the 1971 election.
Pfuhl was mayor of Johnstown during the July 1977 flood, which devastated the city and the local economy. The flood heavily damaged the facilities of Bethlehem Steel, which was Johnstown's major employer at the time, with 12,000 employees during pre-flood 1977. Bethlehem Steel lost more than $50 million in the flood, resulting in 4,000 layoffs.
Pfuhl accused Bethlehem Steel of using the flood as an excuse to pull some of its investments from the area. The business district was heavily flooded, closing both of the city's department stores, Penn Traffic and Glosser Bros. Pennsylvania Gov. Milton Shapp gave Pfuhl a hand-written letter after the flood, authorizing Pfuhl to wave the usual regulations and solicitation process for the clean-up.
Pfuhl lost his re-election bid in 1977 to Democrat Charles "Kutch" Tomljanovic, largely due to the aftermath of the 1977 Johnstown flood, which proved one of the biggest challenges of his political career.
Pfuhl remained out of office for just one term before being re-elected as mayor in the 1981 election and re-took the mayor's office in 1982. In October 1986, Pfuhl appointed Linda Weaver as Johnstown's police chief. The appointment made Weaver the first female police chief in Pennsylvania. She retired on March 5, 1993. Pfuhl announced his retirement in February 1993, when he announced that he would not seek re-election in the November 1993 mayoral election. In his announcement, Pfuhl told the audience, "I love my family, I love my city, I love this job. And I really feel I've been pretty good at it." Weaver would later succeed Pfuhl as the mayor of Johnstown, assuming the office in 1994. and remaining in office until 1996
Pfuhl died at Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, on August 19, 2011, aged 83. He was survived by his wife of 64 years, the former Phyllis I. Meyer, and five children. He was buried at Grandview Cemetery at the mausoleum in Westmont, Pennsylvania. | WIKI |

Post-Nasal Drip Dry Mouth
By - Bad Breath Expert
Glands in the nose and throat continually produce mucus that plays an integral role in health. Mucus moistens and cleans the nasal membranes, moistens airways, traps and clears inhaled foreign matter, and fights infection. Under normal circumstances, mucus from the nose mixes with saliva and drips down the back of the throat. This is swallowed gradually and continuously without any issue. Post-nasal drip is the accumulation of thickened mucus in the back of the throat. Swelled nasal passages often accompany chronic post-nasal drip, forcing those affected to breathe through their mouths. This severely reduces the amount of saliva and causes dry mouth. Excess mucus stagnating in the back of the throat promotes the proliferation of anaerobic bacteria and bad breath (halitosis).
The Role of Anaerobic Bacteria
When airways are constricted, people resort to breathing through their mouths unless they take decongestants or use nasal sprays. A dry, protein-rich, stagnant environment without adequate saliva inhibits the production of oxygenating molecules, enabling bacteria to abundantly reproduce. Anaerobic bacteria are responsible for bad breath because they produce volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) that smell like rotten eggs. These compounds are excreted after bacteria consume and digest oral debris like food particles and mucus. The presence of vast amounts of VSCs leads to chronic halitosis and dry mouth.
Post-Nasal Drip Treatment
post nasal drip and dry mouth
For post-nasal drip caused by bacterial infections, doctors usually prescribe antibiotics, however, colds are viral in nature and do not respond to antibiotics. Decongestants and antihistamines can reduce nasal passage swelling due to allergies or sinusitis, enabling patients to breathe through their noses. Unfortunately, the ingredients in these medications tend to dry out oral and nasal tissues, resulting in chronic dry mouth. Moreover, these over-the-counter medications do nothing to prevent anaerobic bacteria from thriving in a dry mouth lacking the bacteria-killing oxygen provided by sufficient saliva.
Additional Treatments
• Short-term use of oral and injectable steroids may be helpful, however, due to significant side effects, steroids must be carefully monitored if used for more than one week
• Mucus-thinning medication such as guaifenesin (Mucinex) may be helpful
• Over-the-counter saline nasal sprays or nasal irrigation products can help flush out excess mucus, bacteria, allergens, and other irritating substances from the sinuses
• A vaporizer or humidifier increases the moisture in the air and alleviates dryness
Post-nasal drip itself can be effectively treated with the above methods. It is necessary to maintain excellent oral hygiene practices and keep the mouth as hydrated as possible to alleviate bad breath and dry mouth. This requires brushing twice a day, flossing, and gargling with alcohol-free mouthwash made with natural oxygenating ingredients.
Effective Relief for Post-Nasal Drip Oral Health Symptoms
TheraBreath offers a variety of highly effective products to help eliminate post-nasal drip, dry mouth, and bad breath, based on years of extensive research by Dr. Katz.

What’s the Story Behind the Term ’The Ides of March?’
Welcome to March 15, a day steeped in a connotation of doom and gloom, but why, exactly?
It was William Shakespear who introduced the world to the term “beware the ides of March,” a phrase uttered to Julius Caesar by a fortune teller the Shakespear’s play, “Beware the Ides of March.”
March 15 is the day that Julius Caesar, (the much loved by the public) dictator of Rome, was stabbed to death by upward of sixty conspirators who really, really didn't like how arrogant Caesar was and decided to do something about it during a meeting of the Senate. The desire to snuff out the man they found to be overwhelmingly arrogant backfired though because it caused an uproar with the people of Rome who were disgusted with the actions of the assains and all sorts of chaos erupted following Caesar's death. The death of Caesar also led way to the end of the Roman Republic and the start of the Roman Empire.
In ancient times the "Ides" is what the Romans used as a marker name to divide each month. According to Phrases.org, “Months of the Roman calendar were arranged around three named marker days - the Kalends, the Nones, and the Ides - and these were reference points from which the other (unnamed) days were calculated.”
The Romans used the word “Kalends” to note the first day of the month, “Nones” was used to mark the 7th day in the months of March, May, July, and October, and the 5th day in the other months. And then there was “Ides” which marked the 15th day in March, May, July, and October and the 13th day in all of the other months.
While somewhat confusing to us because this isn't the way we mark months and days, the average Roman citizen in ancient times knew that if someone said, "Ides of March," they were talking about March 15. So, when the fortune teller warned Julius Caesar in the Shakespeare play to "beware the Ides of March," it was a warning to him that bad things were coming his way.
What started out as an innocent way of saying, March 15, turned into a day that many believe swirls with doom and gloom because of what happened to Julius Caesar all the way back in 44 B.C.
So, is something awful going to happen today? Probably not although I'm sure those who are superstitious might believe otherwise. If you cling to whatever you can as an excuse to celebrate whatever you can, you can celebrate the Ides of March by drinking a glass of wine. The ancient Romans were said to have loved wine and drank it with most, if not all, of their meals. So, pour a glass and raise a toast to Julius Caesar. | FINEWEB-EDU |

PUC and the Eco Village
Speaking as a Napa County resident who remained neutral on the controversy, here's some information about the land use issues that Heather Knight has been dealing with in Angwin. Much of this content may be appropriate for the articles about Angwin, California and Pacific Union College as well:
"Pacific Union College’s board of trustees has voted to end the college’s consulting contract with Triad Communities and instead pursue opportunities for the property outside of an Ecovillage project. 'This decision comes after more than a year of careful study and consideration,' said Dr. Heather Knight, president of the college, who spent much of her first year on the job assessing the development project. 'After speaking with various community leaders and given the current economic landscape, I feel this is not the best plan for PUC right now.'"

Do you keep your partner or housemates up with your sleep talking? While this is sometimes an innocent habit, sleep talking can, at other times, be a sign of deeper issues. Read on to learn exactly what sleep talking is, what causes it, and what you can do to stop it if it’s causing a disturbance in your everyday life.
What Is Sleep Talking?
According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, only about 5% of adults talk in their sleep. While it tends to mostly be harmless mumbling, sleep talking can sometimes cause nightly disturbances for your sleeping partner, or even for the whole house. Sleep talking can also be a sign of suppressed stress or other emotional issues, or a substance issue. Read ahead where we’ll get into more detail about what sleep talking is, what causes it, and how to prevent sleep talking.
Why Do I Talk In My Sleep?
It’s a common question: “why do I talk in my sleep?” Before we dive into the reasons that you might be sleep talking, let’s first look at the definition.
saatva mattress review side sleepers
Slumber Yard team member Owen is a huge sleep talker
In short, sleep talking is a sleep disorder in which someone “talks during their sleep without being aware of it.” Sleep talking can occur during any stage of sleep, and according to scientific studies, is not necessarily linked to dreaming. It has been found, though, that in stages 1 and 2 of sleep, people may have entire conversations with complete sentences while in stages 3 and 4, speech may be restricted to moans and gibberish.
Don’t Read Too Much Into What You Say in Your Sleep
Has your partner ever murmured their ex-girlfriend’s name in their sleep? Try not to hold it against them, says sleep specialist Michael Breus, Ph.D.: “There’s no data to suggest that [sleep talking] is either predictive in nature or gives you a window into their subconscious or anything like that.” Both sleep scientists and the law have agreed that sleep talking is not a product of consciousness or rational thinking, and therefore cannot be used in court. In fact, it’s impossible for our brains to make up new people in our dreams, so all dreams have familiar faces in them and it’s quite common to dream about people you closely know.
Sleep talking can cause embarrassment or can annoy others, which can sometimes lead to the sleep talker not wanting to leave the house at night, or not wanting to have others sleep over. This can affect people’s social lives and relationships. If this is true for you or someone you know, it’s time to seek help with your sleep talking.
How Bad Is My Sleep Talking?
Unfortunately, there’s no magic cure when it comes to sleep talking. Most people grow out of it by adulthood. If you occasionally speak in your sleep, treatment isn’t necessary. You might just be in the middle of a stressful period. As we mentioned above, there are multiple levels of sleep talking. If you’re interested in stopping sleep talking, it might be helpful to learn about these stages and which ones you’re usually in.
• Stage 1 and Stage 2: In these early stages of sleep talking, you aren’t sleeping as deeply as in the later stages. As a result, your sentences are clearer and easier to understand. If your partner is awake, you might even carry on a complete conversation with them (although you won’t remember it).
• Stage 3 and Stage 4: In these deeper stages of sleep, your words won’t make much sense. They may be hard to understand and slur together.
Depending on how often you sleep talk, you’ll also fall into one of the following categories of sleep talking severity.
• Mild: Sleep talk occurs on occasion, about once a month or less.
• Moderate: Sleep talk is more frequent, occurring a few times per month. It may interrupt your partner.
• Severe: Sleep talk occurs pretty much nightly. It may seriously disturb your partner or other people in your house.
If your sleep talking is preventing your loved ones from getting their necessary sleep or it persists over a long period of time, you might want to talk to a doctor about how to stop talking in your sleep. There could be an underlying medical explanation for your sleep talking, such as stress, depression, fevers, medications, substance abuse, night terrors, or sleep deprivation, which can be caused by insomnia or sleep apnea. A doctor should better help you to identify the cause of your sleep talking, and then assist you in treatment.
If you ask how to keep from talking in your sleep, the best advice we can give you is to de-stress as much as possible during the day. Below we list some tips for learning to relax.
How To Stop Sleep Talking
With these relaxation and self-care tips, you have the best chance to learn how to stop sleep talking. Try incorporating one (or more) of these ideas into your bedtime routine tonight.
Skip the screen time
Too much screen time before bed can interfere with your quality of sleep. Before bed, put away your cell phone and turn off the TV. Unwind and ease yourself into sleep by sipping on a cup of tea or reading a book.
Essential oils
Diffusing essential oils in your bedroom or at bedtime can help change your mood. There are plenty of scents that you can try, but we recommend soothing and relaxing scents like lavender and cedarwood.

Weighted blankets
Many people find weighted blankets helpful for relieving stress and anxiety. Since they’re heavier than a normal blanket, they create a feeling of comfort that imitates the sensation of a big warm hug.
White noise machines
If you don’t mind a bit of ambient sound as you fall asleep, white noise machines can not only help you get to sleep tonight, but they can possibly help you achieve better sleep through the night. Getting good quality sleep is very important for brain function the next day.

Magnesium supplements
Finally, magnesium supplements are also proven to help both the mind and your muscles relax from stress, so that you’re less tense. Before you begin taking any supplements, however, be sure to discuss it with your doctor.

The word forest broadly describes an area that has a large number of trees. There are three general types of forest that exist: temperate, tropical, and boreal. Experts estimate that these forests cover approximately one-third of Earth’s surface.
Temperate forests are found across eastern North America and Eurasia. The temperatures of temperate forests vary throughout the year because of the four distinct seasons at these latitudes. Precipitation is abundant and lends to fertile soil that is able to support diverse flora like maples, oak, and birch. Deer, squirrels, and bears are just a few examples of the fauna that call temperate forests home.
Tropical forests are common to areas near the equator, such as Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Central America. Temperatures in tropical forests have been reported to range between 20 and 31°C (68 and 88°F). Tropical rainforests are the epitome of biodiversity. Animals include the endangered harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja)—a large predatory bird—which has become scarce throughout Central and South America, largely due to habitat loss.
Bonobos (Pan paniscus), an ape species that calls the tropical forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa their home, are also endangered. Deforestation and poaching for human sustenance have caused their populations to decline.
Tropical mangrove forests, characterized by trees and shrubs that grow in salty or brackish water, are found in the tropics and subtropics. The red mangrove forest on the Panamanian island of Escudo de Veragua is home to the critically endangered pygmy three-toed sloth (Bradypus pygmaeus).
The third type of forest is the boreal forest, also known as taiga. Boreal forests, one of the world’s largest land biomes, are found across Siberia, Scandinavia, and North America (Alaska and Canada). Boreal forests have a significant role in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Temperatures in boreal forests are, on average, below freezing. Conifers, spruce, fir, and pine trees are the predominant needle-leaf plant species in boreal forests. Moose and deer are just a couple of examples of large herbivorous mammals in this environment. Most birds native to the taiga migrate to find warmer conditions during the forest’s harsh winters.
Forest Biome
Some forests, such as the Olympic National Park in Washington, United States, have been protected for future generations by preserves or national parks.
Noun
layers of gases surrounding a planet or other celestial body.
Noun
area of the planet which can be classified according to the plant and animal life in it.
boreal forest
Noun
land covered by evergreen trees in cool, northern latitudes. Also called taiga.
Noun
destruction or removal of forests and their undergrowth.
Noun
organism threatened with extinction.
fauna
Noun
animals associated with an area or time period.
flora
Noun
plants associated with an area or time period.
Noun
all forms in which water falls to Earth from the atmosphere.
Noun
evergreen forest in cool, northern latitudes. Also called boreal forest.
Temperate forest
Noun
land covered by broad-leaved trees in milder climates.
tropical montane cloud forest
Noun
forest habitat found on mountains in tropical areas that are cooler than lower areas and covered with low-lying clouds most or all of the year.
tropical rain forest
Noun
grouping of tall evergreen trees, usually close to the Equator, which receives more than 203 centimeters (80 inches) of rain a year. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Keeping Well Hydrated
Why You Should Definitely Drink More Water
Thousands Have Lived Without Love, Not One Without Water.
“Water is the driving nature of life ”
Water is an essential component of our body’s composition. Our internal fluids are 60% water. Its primary function is to metabolize simple sugars like carbohydrates and complex stored fats in a process called lipolysis or fat burning process. This process allows the body to use the stored energy for its daily activities.
According to a study in NCBI, there is a potentially important role for water in weight loss of an individual. Again, this stems from the fact that whenever water is used to breakdown fats into energy, weight loss, more or less occurs to the individual.
Why water is important to us:
1. Burns calories- water is a natural fat burner. It helps break down fats through a process called lipolysis whenever the body needs energy to move.
2. Can satiate hunger- drinking water can make a one feel full. There are cases wherein one mistakes the desire from thirst, so it is recommended to drink water before trying to eat anything.
3. Helps release body wastes- water can help prevent constipation for those who have difficulty in passing stool. Moreover, it can also release wastes through sweat when the body needs to release heat.
4. Maintains Brain Function- even a slight dehydration of 1-3% of the body weight can impair one’s brain function. It can affect one’s mood, concentration, and also cause anxiety.
5. Helps maintain physical activities- dehydration is widespread during physical activities as heat causes the body to release sweat. This condition creates a lack of focus and muscle fatigue; thus, water is essential for the re-hydration of authority in these cases.

in MATLAB, the absolute value of the Pearson correlation coefficient is much higher than sqrt(R^2) of least squares fit
According to our article Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, R^2 in linear regression should be the square of Pearson's r. However in MATLAB, I have data sets where my R^2 value (for my least squares fit) is something like 0.28, but r is something like -0.74 or -0.85. Is polyfit not finding the best fit? The original data I believe follows a power law, so I have taken the log of both x and y to make a log-log data set, and used linear least squares regression on it. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:40, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
* In general, engineers, statistician, and mathematicians may use slightly different definitions of correlation, covariance, autocorrelation, etc. They are all related via scaling or centering, but this can be a pain to work out. See for instance Autocorrelation for an alternate definition. As a wild guess, try passing the 'coeff' flag into the corr function, and that might force the definition that you are expecting. Here's MathWorks' info on xcorr . SemanticMantis (talk) 15:16, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
* It's simply impossible for r to be -0.74 for the best linear fit. The worst that r could ever be is zero. Something is not right here. Looie496 (talk) 16:15, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
* r implies a negative correlation, i.e. it is quite a good fit.
* I've been using corr2 -- I guess this is not the Pearson correlation coefficient, but a "2D correlation coefficient". (However I am comparing linear vectors). Does anybody know why the 2D correlation coefficient is so much stronger for correlating one-dimensional vectors versus Pearson correlation? What method is used in 2D correlation? Does it allow cross-correlation? My two variables are time-series variables -- velocity (predictor) and curvature (predicted) of fruit flies. I do suspect sometimes that velocity predicts curvature a little later (e.g. 1/15 seconds later) rather than the curvature of that very moment. (Predictor and predicted could be reversed of course, I am just using one hypothesis.)
* I should mention that the trajectories of fruit flies have several interesting properties-- for example literature mentions that paths are often self-similar (fractal-like) regardless of scale (at least up to the temporal resolution limit of conventional digital imaging, i.e. 1/30 seconds). However, I am a biochemistry student, not an engineering / signals and systems student, so I am just figuring this out. (My engineering friend explained autocorrelation to me a few months back.) <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:47, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
* The closest equivalent of corr2 I can find on Wikipedia is Digital image correlation, which allows for stretching and various other transformations of the vectors. Is this what corr2 does? If I apply digital image correlation between two one-dimensional images (so to speak -- allowing for stretching and translation?) how do I find an equation that allows one to determine the other? What I am trying to determine is a power law, after all.... <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:57, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
* I would strongly advise that you find somebody local to help you. You're using words without really understanding what they mean, and so the questions you are asking don't make sense. A local person could look at your data and help you to find the right words to describe it. Looie496 (talk) 17:18, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
* Okay, but I am absolutely certain that a Pearson r of approximately -0.74 should yield an R^2 of approximately ~0.55. I mean, that's what our article seems to imply. I'm using definitions described in documentation and am simply trying to find the Wikipedia articles describing similar concepts. The MATLAB documentation for corr2 says that it finds the 2D correlation coefficient -- that is indeed digital image correlation is it not? Digital image correlation is mentioned as an application of corr2. It seems that corr2 returning a negative-r should be possible...<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:24, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
* Are you sure you included in your data a constant column? For example if I want to regress x on y the command is b=regress(y,[ones(size(x)) x]). Yaniv256 (talk) 23:40, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
polyfit not finding the best fit?
So explicitly called the Pearson's correlation coefficient function in MATLAB using corr rather than corr2, but the results are completely the same. However, in many cases the square root of the R^2 of the least squares fit found via polyfit is significantly below Pearson's r, which is always around -0.7 to -0.85. (In one case, r is -0.77, but the polyfit R^2 is 0.28?) Is polyfit not finding the best fit? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:07, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
Term for visual appearance of slope
Taken from Misleading graph What is the term for the visual appearance of a slope? I'm writing the article misleading graph and want to express that visually, it appears that the slope is increasing/decreasing. I don't want to use slope or gradient as the underlying data is not changing. I'm currently using the terms volatility and growth, but these are imprecise economic terms. Anyone know how to better express Misleading_graph and Misleading_graph? Smallman12q (talk) 12:07, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
* Articles should be based on sources. What do the sources say? If they don't then we shouldn't either. Dmcq (talk) 12:10, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
* The sources say that graphs without scales are misleading...and then give several examples. The economics texts say that one graph shows growth while the other one doesn't. I'm hoping there's some better way to express this... Smallman12q (talk) 12:22, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
* I think it is valuable to make progress, even if citations are currently lacking (they can always be added later). I don't think there's a widely-used formal term for this. I would just describe the phenomenon as accurately as possible. Something like "Even though the actual slope of the (x,y) data is the same in both graphs, the way that the data is ploted can change the visual appearance of the angle made by the line on the graph. This is because each plot has different scale on its vertical axis. Because the scale is not shown, these graphs can be misleading." Now that I think of it, slope is independent of any plotting scheme, but angle can (and does in this example) depend on plotting scheme. So that might be the best distinction to make.

How does curvature correlate to velocity in a random walk with randomly-distributed speeds (i.e. Brownian motion)?
While investigating fly path curvature in a 2D arena as a statistical parameter, I have found that the curvature-speed relationship follows a power law where curvature in (1/mm) is predicted by the relation C = 10^a * x^b, where a is ~0.8 and b is ~ -1.6 and x is absolute speed in mm/s. Firstly, if behavior is random, doesn't the physical equation for curvature already "totally account" for velocity, i.e. curvature should be statistically independent of velocity in a random walk of random speeds? Curvature is |y"x' - x"y'| / speed^3, but both the numerator and denominator are dependent on velocity and should cancel each other out, right? Thus any correlation between curvature and velocity should be due to non-random behavior-- is this correct? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:24, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
* The word "random" just means unpredictable in some way -- it doesn't mean anything specific. When you have a physical object, if it is moving very fast, momentum makes it impossible for it to curve very sharply, so there is always going to be a correlation between velocity (in the sense of speed) and curvature. But more basically, can I ask again that you look for somebody local to advise you? We can try to answer specific and well-formulated questions, but we really can't perform the functions of a mentor, because we can't look at your data. Looie496 (talk) 17:34, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
* I'm talking about a random walk, where time progresses in fixed intervals so speed is distance/t, but since distance travelled is random, so speed should have the same random distribution. Consider a random walk model that factors in momentum and dampening parameters. A fruit fly I think has low momentum and high dampening (there is probably some dimensionless number describing this), so a fruit fly behaving randomly would be well-approximated by Brownian motion, no? In that case, is the curvature of a Brownian-motion particle statistically independent of its velocity?
* Also, my PI is very busy, I have to do all the work and literature research myself; however I am finding it difficult to search the literature on this question. I think my questions are very well-defined -- if they are too general, I can narrow them down further. I think my questions are reasonable? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:29, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
* The relation between speed and curvature that you would expect just depends on the model you use to explain the fly's movement. If your model says that the two should be independent, but your data shows some relation, then it's not a good model. This doesn't have anything to do with whether the fly's behavior is random or not. First, whether the fly moves in a way that's truly random is question of metaphysics that you probably are not trying to answer. But more importantly, any model is going to have randomness built into it since a deterministic model is out of reach, but there are many different random models. If one fails you just need to find a better one. Rckrone (talk) 20:52, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
* Oh no, the random model is the null hypothesis. I am creating a model which implies non-random behavior but I need to compare it against a "null" model, in this case the random walk / Brownian hypothesis. I do not think a random model would predict a power law with an exponential parameter of -1.6? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:32, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
* So, you have (or at least "approximately have") something like the "ideal" Brownian motion, when the particle (in this case - fly) moves straight all the time with exception of the points when it instantly changes direction? In such case the curvature of the trajectory is zero in the straight segments and infinite for turning points. Thus, if it is so, it makes little sense to look for any "interesting" relationship between curvature and anything else. In other words, if you want to get curvature that makes sense, first of all make sure you have enough points to see how the trajectory is curved.
* A second point. "Curvature is |y"x' - x"y'| / speed^3, but both the numerator and denominator are dependent on velocity and should cancel each other out, right?" - it is going to be easier if you will forget the velocities for the moment. The curvature describes a point in a curve. In this case the curve is trajectory. Trajectory does not tell you anything about the speed. Neither will curvature (unless there is something more interesting in the underlying process).
* A third point. Look how you find the velocities and curvatures. If you use numerical differentiation, remember that it is not resistant to noise. --Martynas Patasius (talk) 23:16, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
* The resolution I'm looking at is 1/15 s-- I think this is high enough to examine curvature. The fly actually "wobbles" and we can measure things like yaw or absolute angular difference from some orientation but this results in a more noisy measure of curvature. One measure of curvature I used initially was angular velocity over linear velocity, but this was noisy compared to using the |y"x' - x"y'| / (x'^2 + y'^2)^3/2 definition. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:30, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
* In Brownian motion the speed and curvature are everywhere infinite. -- Meni Rosenfeld (talk) 16:38, 29 July 2012 (UTC) | WIKI |
Dell’s latest XPS 13 is fast, nimble, and kind of stale
When Dell first introduced its redesigned XPS 13 laptop nearly three years ago, it kicked off a renaissance in laptop design. Dell proved that you could have a full-size, 13-inch display in a computer that’s as compact and portable as an 11-inch model. Nearly every other laptop maker has followed down this path, and now there are a lot of laptop options with trim bezels and small footprints. In the years since this design debuted, Dell has updated the XPS 13 numerous times, bestowing it with processor upgrades, adding new port types, and removing others. It even extended the design to a larger model, the beefy XPS 15, which packs a very powerful computer into a surprisingly portable package, and a 2-in-1 convertible take. But what Dell hasn’t done is address many of the flaws of the original XPS 13. I’ve been using the latest model, which starts at $799 and comes equipped with Intel’s eighth-generation processors. By most accounts, it’s a great computer. But it also feels like a swan song for this design, which is perhaps ready to be put out to pasture. Let’s start with the good: even though Dell’s tricks of slimming down the display bezels have been copied countless times over, the XPS 13 is still one of the most compact computers you can buy. It makes my everyday driver, the Surface Laptop, feel like a surfboard at times. It takes up such little space in my bag that I almost feel like my bag is bigger than it actually is. The model I’ve been using has a bright, high-resolution (3200 x 1800) touchscreen display, a fantastic keyboard that’s a joy to type on, and a Windows Precision trackpad that’s smooth and easy to use. To the left of the trackpad is a fingerprint scanner that makes logging in quick and painless (if not quite as easy as the face-scanning systems other laptops offer). Despite the small size, the XPS 13 still fits in two full-size USB ports, plus a USB Type-C Thunderbolt 3 port. There’s even a full-size SD card slot, which is such a rarity on computers of this size in 2017 that I almost wonder if it’s a mistake. (It’s not, and it’s wonderful.) Perhaps my favorite part is the battery meter on the left side that lets you check the status when the computer’s lid is closed. Inside, Intel’s eighth-generation Core i7 processor (paired with 16GB of RAM in my test unit) is both powerful and power efficient. Just like we saw with the similarly equipped Yoga 920 from Lenovo, this XPS 13 can handle basically any task I have with ease, and does so quietly and coolly. It’s also able to last through an entire eight- to 10-hour workday with ease, which, while a far cry from the “up to 22 hours of continuous use” that Dell claims, is still good enough for me. But even though the Dell has more than adequate performance and battery life, a lovely display, and great keyboard and trackpad, the whole package feels a bit stale at this point. It starts with the overall dense feeling of the computer: though it is extremely compact, the XPS 13 is not the lightest laptop you can get, and it’s not the thinnest either. It feels solid and heavy in ways that other computers don’t, even if it’s only a few ounces heavier on the scale. And then there’s the placement of the webcam, which is something I disliked when I first used this computer three years ago and can’t stand today. To recap, the XPS 13’s front-facing camera is positioned to the lower left of the display. That enables the border above the display to be very trim, but it results in an unflattering, up-the-nose perspective from the camera on video conferences. To make things worse, if I’m typing on the keyboard, the camera sees my fingers in its frame, which is distracting to both me and the person I’m conferencing with. Other manufacturers, such as HP and Microsoft, have been able to put the front camera above the display and still maintain a slim bezel (and even include Windows Hello compatible face-scanning features), so it’s frustrating that Dell has stuck with this clearly inferior design. If I’m being perfectly honest, there’s so much to like about the XPS 13 that if Dell had simply moved the webcam to where it belongs and done literally nothing else, I’d ignore the stale-feeling design and dense weight and proclaim that this is the best Windows computer to buy. But unless you really need that full-size SD slot or never use the webcam for conferencing, there are too many other options that do what the XPS 13 does just as well. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

What is the former name of Jakarta?
The former name of Jakarta was Sunda Kelapa. It was founded by the Sundanese Hindu Kingdom of Pajajaran in the late 15th century. The port served as the capital of the kingdom.
The name Sunda Kelapa means “kelapa (coconut) of Sunda (West Java)”. The port was located at the estuary of the Ciliwung River. It was an important port in the archipelago, and served as the main port of the Sundanese kingdom.
In the early 16th century, the port was captured by the Portuguese. The Portuguese renamed the port “Cidade de Jacarta” (City of Jakarta). The name was derived from the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, who was known as “Jakartan”.
The port served as the main port of the Portuguese colony in the archipelago. It was also the main port of the Dutch colony in the archipelago.
The name Jakarta was officially adopted in 1949, when the Dutch granted independence to Indonesia.
Why did Jakarta change its name?
The Indonesian city of Jakarta was formerly known as “Jayakarta” and was founded in the early 1500s by the Sultan of Banten. In the early 1800s, however, the city was conquered by the Dutch and renamed “Batavia”. In 1949, following Indonesian independence, the city was once again renamed “Jakarta”. There are several reasons why Jakarta changed its name twice in the span of just a few hundred years.
The first reason is political. The Dutch colonizers wanted to deny the Indonesian people a sense of identity and national pride, so they chose to name the city after a Dutch town. The second reason is geographical. “Jayakarta” means “victorious city” in Sanskrit, and the city was named in honor of the Sultan’s military victories. But “Batavia” is a Dutch word meaning “the place where the batavians (a Dutch tribe) live”. So the name “Jakarta” is a combination of the Indonesian and Dutch words for “city”.
The third reason is historical. The Dutch East India Company founded the city of Batavia in 1619 as a trading post. The company was a powerful force in the region, and Batavia soon became the capital of the Dutch East Indies. The city was a major center of trade and commerce, and the Dutch East India Company exerted a great deal of control over the city and its inhabitants.
The fourth reason is cultural. The Dutch East India Company was a Protestant company, and the city of Batavia was home to a large number of Protestant churches. The Dutch East India Company also brought many Dutch settlers to Batavia, and these settlers quickly outnumbered the native Indonesians. As a result, Batavia became a very Dutch city, with Dutch architecture, Dutch culture, and Dutch values.
The fifth reason is economic. The Dutch East India Company was a profitable company, and the city of Batavia was a major center of its operations. The company made a fortune trading spices and other commodities in the region, and it used Batavia as its base of operations. The city prospered as a result, and its population and economy grew rapidly.
The sixth reason is social. The Dutch East India Company was a ruthless company, and it treated the people of Batavia harshly. The company had a strict social hierarchy, with the Dutch settlers at the top and the native Indonesians at the bottom. The company also had a strict policy of racial segregation, which prevented the Dutch and the Indonesians from interacting with each other. As a result, the people of Batavia lived in a segregated society, with two distinct social classes: the Dutch and the Indonesians.
The seventh reason is political. The Dutch East India Company was a colonial power, and it exercised control over the city of Batavia and its inhabitants. The company did not allow the Indonesian people to govern themselves, and it imposed its own rules and regulations on the city. The people of Batavia were essentially ruled by the Dutch East India Company, and they had no say in how the city was governed.
The eighth reason is cultural. The Dutch East India Company introduced the Dutch language and Dutch culture to Batavia. The company also encouraged the Dutch settlers to bring their own culture and values to the city. As a result, Batavia became a very Dutch city, with Dutch architecture, Dutch culture, Dutch language, and Dutch values.
The ninth reason is political. The Dutch East India Company was a colonial power, and it exercised control over the city of Batavia and its inhabitants. The company did not allow the Indonesian people to govern themselves, and it imposed its own rules and
Did Jakarta change its name?
There has been a lot of speculation over the years about whether or not Jakarta changed its name. The rumors began back in the 1970s, and continue to this day. So, what’s the truth? Did Jakarta really change its name?
The answer is no, Jakarta has not changed its name. However, there are some elements of truth to the rumors. In the 1970s, the Indonesian government did consider renaming Jakarta. The proposed name was Batavia, after the Dutch city that was the capital of the Dutch East Indies. However, the proposal was eventually scrapped.
Since then, there have been several other attempts to rename Jakarta, but all of them have failed. So, Jakarta has not officially changed its name, but the rumors continue to persist.
What was former name of Indonesia?
The Republic of Indonesia is a country located in Southeast Asia. The country is made up of more than 17,000 islands, making it the largest country in the world by number of islands. The country was known as the Dutch East Indies before gaining its independence in 1945.
What is Jakarta named after?
The Indonesian capital of Jakarta is named after the ancient Hindu kingdom of Jayakarta. The kingdom was founded in the late 13th century, and it was located in modern-day West Java. Jayakarta was a powerful and prosperous state, and it was known for its skilled artisans and merchants. In 1619, the Dutch East India Company (VOC) seized control of the kingdom, and they renamed it Jakarta. The name Jakarta is a shortened form of the Dutch name, which means “victorious city.”
What is the name of Indonesia now?
What is the name of Indonesia now?
The name of Indonesia is Republic of Indonesia. It was founded on 17 August 1945, and is located on the easternmost part of the Malay Peninsula and the western part of the island of New Guinea. Indonesia is a republic with a presidential system. The president is the head of state and the head of government. The country has 34 provinces, and more than 17,000 islands.
What did the Romans call Indonesia?
The Romans were one of the most influential ancient civilizations. They were known for their art, literature, and monuments. But what did they call Indonesia?
The Romans called Indonesia “the far East.” This was mainly because Indonesia is located on the other side of the world from Europe. The Romans also called Indonesia “the Indies.” This was because at the time, Indonesia was the most eastern landmass in the world.
The Romans were not the only ancient civilization to know about Indonesia. Other civilizations, such as the Chinese and the Arabs, also knew about this region. However, the Romans were the most influential in this area, and their name for Indonesia eventually became the name that everyone else used.
What is Indonesia called today?
What is Indonesia called today?
The Republic of Indonesia is a country located in Southeast Asia that is made up of more than 17,000 islands. The country is officially known as the Republic of Indonesia and its largest island is Java. The country has a population of more than 260 million people, making it the fourth most populous country in the world. The official language of Indonesia is Indonesian.
The name Indonesia is derived from the Greek word Indos, meaning “India”, and the Latin word Indonesia, meaning “the East Indies”. The name was first used in the early 1800s by British traders and merchants. The name was officially adopted as the name of the country in 1945, after Indonesia became an independent nation. | FINEWEB-EDU |

Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Edmund Bonner
Bishop of London, b. about 1500; d. 1569. He was the son of Edmund Bonner, a sawyer of Potter's Henley in Worcestershire, England, and Elizabeth Frodsham. Doubt was cast on his legitimacy by Bale and other opponents, who asserted that he was the natural son of a priest named Savage, but Strype and other Anglican writers, including the historian S. R. Maitland, have shown the groundless nature of these assertions. He was educated at Pembroke College, Oxford, then Broad~ate Hall, where he took his degree as Bachelor both of canon and of civil law in 1519, and was ordained priest about the same time. . In 1525 he became doctor of civil law and soon after entered the service of Cardinal Wolsey, which brought him to the notice of the king and Cromwell, and thus led to a diplomatic career. After the fall of Wolsey he remained faithful to him and was with him at the time of his arrest and death. When the question of the king's divorce was raised, he was employed by the king as his agent at Rome, where he remained a whole year, 1532 33. During the following years he was much employed on important embassies in the king's interests, first to the pope to appeal against the excommunication pronounced in July, 1533, afterwards to the emperor to dissuade him from attending the general council which the pope wished to summon at Vicenza, and again to the French Court to succeed Gardiner there as ambassador. In this capacity he proved capable and successful, though irritation was frequently caused by his overbearing and dictatorial manner. Meanwhile his services were rewarded by successive grants of the livings of Cherry Burton (Yorks), Ripple (Worcester), Blaydon (Durham), and East Dereham (Norfolk), and he was made Archdeacon of Leicester in 1535. Finally, while ambassador in France, he was elected Bishop of Hereford (27th November 1538) but owing to his absence he could neither be consecrated nor take possession of his see, and he was still abroad when he was translated to the Bishopric of London. Elected in November, 1539, he returned, and was consecrated 4th April, 1540. Almost his first duty was to try heretics under Henry's Act of the Six Articles, and though his action seems to have been only official, accusations of excessive cruelty and bias against the accused were spread broadcast by his enemies, and from the first he seems to have been unpopular in London. During the years 1542-43 he was again abroad in Spain and Germany as ambassador to the emperor, at the end of which time he returned to London. The death of the king on 28th January 1547, proved the turning point in his career Hitherto he had shown himself entirely subservient to the sovereign, supporting him in the matter of the divorce, approving of the suppression of the religious houses, taking the oath of Supremacy which Fisher and More refused at the cost of life itself, and accepting schismatical consecration and institution. But while acting in this way, he had always resisted the innovations of the Reformers, and held to the doctrines of the old religion. Therefore from the first he put himself in opposition to the religious changes introduced by Protector Somerset and Archbishop Cranmer.
He opposed the "Visitors" appointed by the Council, and was committed to prison for so doing Though not long a prisoner, after two years of un satisfactory struggle he came again into conflict with the Protector owing to his omission to enforce the use of the new Prayer Book. When ordered to preach at St. Paul's Cross he did so, but with such significant omissions in the matter which had been prescribed touching the king's authority, that he was finally deprived of his see and sent as a prisoner to the Marshalsea. Here he remained till the accession of Mary in 1553. On 5th of August in that year he took possession of his diocese once more. In estimating Bishop Bonner's conduct on his restoration to his see the difficulties of the position must be recalled. There was in London an extremely violent reforming element which opposed in every way the restoration of Catholic worship. For twenty years the authority of the Holy See had been set at naught and ridiculed in unsparing terms, and though the Parliament in 1554 welcomed Pole as Papal Legate and sought absolution and reconciliation from him with apparent unanimity, there was a real hostility to the whole proceeding among a considerable section of the populace. During 1554 Bonner carried out a visitation of his diocese, restoring the Mass and the manifold practices and emblems of Catholic life, but the work was carried out slowly and with difficulty. To help in the work, Bonner published a list of thirty-seven "Articles to be enquired of", but these led to such disturbances that they were temporarily withdrawn. While many rejoiced to have the old worship restored, others exhibited the most implacable hostility. As Bonner sat at St. Paul's Cross to hear Gilbert Bourne preach, when reference was made to the bishop's sufferings under Edward VI a dagger was thrown at the preacher. At St. Margaret's, West- minster, a murderous assault was made on the priest giving Holy Communion, the Blessed Sacrament itself was the object of profane outrages, and street brawls arising out of religious disputes were frequent. Meanwhile many of the Reformers attacked the Queen herself in terms that were clearly treasonable. Had these been proceeded against by the civil power much evil might have been averted, but unfortunately it was thought at the time that as the root of the evil lay in the religious question, the offenders would best be dealt with by the ecclesiastical tribunals, and on Bonner, as Bishop of London, fell the chief burden. Besides his judicial work in his own diocese, Bonner was appointed to carry out the painful task of degrading Cranmer at Oxford in February, 1556. The part he took in these affairs gave rise to intense hatred on the part of the Reformers, and by them he was represented as hounding men and women to death with merciless vindictiveness. Foxe in his "Book of Martyrs" summed up this view in two doggerel lines:
"This cannibal in three years space three hundred martyrs slew They were his food, he loved so blood, he spared none he knew." That this was an absolutely ungrounded charge is shown by the letter from the king and queen in Council, addressed to Bonner on the express ground that he was not proceeding with sufficient energy As to the number of his "victims" Foxe, whose un trustworthiness now needs no demonstration, has exaggerated according to his wont. The number of persons who were executed under the laws against heresy in his jurisdiction seems to have been about 120. As to these persons Mr. Gairdner writes "Over their ultimate fate it must be remembered he had no control, when once they were declared to be irreclaimable heretics and handed over to the secular power; but he always strove by gentle suasion first to reconcile them to the Church". Throughout the "Book of Martyrs" Foxe is unsparing in his accusations of cruelty against the bishop; but his charges have been impartially examined at great length by Dr. Maitland, who comes to the same decision as the Catholic writers against Foxe, and sums it up by remarking that when anyone "calmly inquires what these tales so full of rage and fury really mean, when they mean anything, he finds the bloody wolf transformed . . . into something much more like a good tempered mastiff, who might safely be played with, and who, though he might be teased into barking and growling, had no disposition to bite and would not do it without orders". (Essays, 422-424.) Another virulent opponent of Bonner was John Bale, formerly a friar and ex-Bishop of Ossory, who in 1554 published from his place of exile at Basle, an attack on the bishop, in which he speaks of him as "the bloody sheep-bite of London", "bloody Bonner", and still coarser epithets. Concerning this outburst Dr. Maitland quietly remarks, "when Bale wrote this book, little that could be called persecution had taken place. Not one martyr had suffered." These attacks of Foxe and Bale are noteworthy as being the foundation on which the current traditional view of Bonner's work and character has been based, a tradition that has only been broken down by the research of the past century. A man so regarded could expect small consideration when the death of Mary (17th November, 1558) placed Elizabeth on the throne, and the new queen's attitude to the bishop was marked at their first interview, when she refused him her hand to kiss. From 24th June, 1559, the Mass was forbidden as well as all other services not in the Book of Common Prayer, but long before that date the Mass ceased in most London churches, though Bonner took care that in his cathedral at least it should still be celebrated. On 30th May, Il Schifanoya, envoy from the Court of Mantua, wrote: "The Council sent twice or thrice to summon the Bishop of London to give him orders to remove the service of the Mass and of the Divine Office in that Church, but he answered them intrepidly 'I possess three things soul, body, and property. Of the two latter, you can dispose at your pleasure, but as to the soul, God alone can command me.' He remained constant about body and property, and again to-day he has been called to the Council, but I do not yet know what they said to him." (Phillips, op. cit. infra, 103.) As a matter of fact, they had ordered him to resign the bishopric, which he refused to do, adding that he preferred death. He was then deprived of the office and went for a time to Westminster Abbey. On 20th April, 1560, he was sent as a prisoner to the Marshalsea. During the next two years representatives of the reforming party frequently clamored for the execution of Bonner and the other imprisoned bishops. When the Parliament of 1563 met, a new Act was passed by which the first refusal of the oath of royal supremacy was praemunire, the second, high treason. The bishops had refused the oath once, so that by this Act, which became law on 10th April, their next refusal of the oath might be followed by their death. On 24th April, the Spanish Ambassador writes that Bonner and some others had been already called upon to take the oath. Partly owing to the intervention of the emperor and partly to an outbreak of the plague, no further steps seem to have been taken at the time. A year later, on 29th April, 1564 the oath was again tendered to Bonner by Horne, the Anglican Bishop of Winchester. This he firmly refused but the interference of the Spanish ambassador and his own readiness of resource saved immediate consequences. Being well skilled both in civil and canon law, he raised the point that Home, who offered him the oath, was not qualified to do so, as he had not been validly consecrated bishop. This challenged the new hierarchy as to the validity of their orders, and so strong was Bonner's case that the Government evaded meeting it, and the proceedings commenced against him were adjourned time after time. Four times a year for three years he was forced to in the courts at Westminster only to be further remanded. The last of these appearances took place in the Michaelmas term of 1568, so that the last year of the bishop's life was spent in the peace of his prison. His demeanor during his long imprisonment was remarkable for unfailing cheerfulness, and even Jewel describes him in a letter as "a most courteous man and gentlemanly both in his manners and appearance." (Zurich Letters, I, 34). The end came on 5th September, 1569, when he died in the Marshalsea. The Anglican Bishop of London wrote to Cecil to say that he had been buried in St. George's churchyard, Southwark, but if this was so the coffin was soon secretly removed to Copford, near Colchester, where it was buried under the north side of the altar. Sander, Bridgewater, and other contemporary writers attributed to Bonner and the other bishops who died in prison the honor of martyrdom: in vinculis obierunt martyres. On the walls of the English College, Rome, an inscription recording the death of the eleven bishops, but without naming them, found a place among the paintings of the martyrs. In a work quoted below the Catholic tradition with regard to these bishops has been ably set forth by Rev. George Phillips, avowedly for the purpose of promoting their beatification. Bishop Bonner differs from the others in this respect, that owing to the prominent part circumstances compelled him to play in the persecution, he was attacked during life with a hatred which has followed him even after death, so that in English history few names have been so execrated and vilified as his. Tardy justice is now being done to his memory by historians, Catholic and Protestant alike, yet there remains immense prejudice against his memory in the popular mind. Nor could this be otherwise in face of the calumnies that have been. repeated by tradition. The reckless charges of Bale and Foxe were repeated by Burnet Hume, and others, who join in representing him as an inhuman persecutor, "a man of profligate manners and of a brutal character, who seemed to rejoice in the torments of the unhappy sufferers" (Hume c. xxxvii). The first historian of note to challenge this verdict was the Catholic, Lingard, though even he wrote in a very tentative way and it was by an Anglican historian, S.R. Maitland, that anything like justice was first done to Bonner. This writer's analysis remains the most discriminating summary of the bishop's character. "Setting aside declamation and looking at the details of facts left by those who may be called, if people please, Bonner's victims, and their friends, we find, very consistently maintained, the character of a man, straightforward and hearty, familiar and humorous, sometimes rough, perhaps coarse, naturally hot tempered, but obviously (by the testimony of his enemies) placable and easily intreated, capable of bearing most patiently much intemperate and insolent language, much reviling and low abuse directed against himself personally, against his order, and against those peculiar doctrines and practices of his church for maintaining which he had himself suffered the loss of all things, and borne long imprisonment. At the same time not incapable of being provoked into saying harsh and passionate things, but much more frequently meaning nothing by the threatenings and slaughter which he breathed out, than to intimidate those on whose ignorance and simplicity argument seemed to be thrown away-in short, we can scarcely read with attention any one of the cases detailed by those who were no friends of Bonner, without seeing in him a judge who (even if we grant that he was dispensing bad laws badly) was obviously desirous to save the prisoner's life." This verdict has been generally followed by later historians, and the last word has been added, for the present, in. the recently published volume on the Reformation, in the "Cambridge Modern History" planned by Lord Acton (1903) where the statement is expressly made: "It is now generally admitted that the part played by Bonner was not that attributed to him by Foxe, of a cruel bigot who exulted in sending his victims to the stake. The number of those put to death in his diocese of London was undoubtedly disproportionately large, but this would seem to have been more the result of the strength of the reforming element in the capital and in Essex than of the employment of exceptional rigor; while the evidence also shows that he himself patiently dealt with many of the Protestants, and did his best to induce them to renounce what he conscientiously believed to be their errors."
Bonner's writings include "Responsum et Exhortatio in laudem Sacerdotii" (1553); "Articles to be enquired of in the General Visitation of Edmund Bishop of London" (1554); "Homelies sette forth by Eddmune Byshop of London, . . . to be read within his diocese of London of all Parsons, vycars and curates, unto their parishioners upon Sondayes and holy days" (1555). There was also published under his name a catechism, probably written by his chaplains, Harpsfield and Pendleton, entitled "A profitable and necessary doctrine" (1554, 2d ed. 1555). He also wrote the preface to Bishop Gardiner's "Book of Obedience" (1534).

Football in Kazakhstan
Football in Kazakhstan is governed by the national body the Football Federation of Kazakhstan. The FFK organises the men's, women's and futsal national teams. Football is the most popular sport in the country, followed by ice hockey.
History
Kazakh football first appeared in Semey before World War I, when British merchants brought the game to the area. Among the early players of the game was writer Mukhtar Auezov who turned out for the 'Yarysh' club, the biggest of the time. Teams soon followed in Pavlodar and Dzhambul, before the first official appearance of a Kazakh SSR representative team in 1928. By the 1930s Kazakh club sides were regularly participating in the lower ranks of Soviet football.
After World War II a regular league began in 1946 while a cup competition, previously held sporadically was instituted full-time in 1948. A permanent Kazakh SSR Football Federation was established in 1959. Leading club side FC Kairat Almaty went on to make history in 1960 by becoming the first Kazakh side to compete in the Soviet Top League and made further history in 1963 by reaching the semi-finals of the Soviet Cup, the best performance by a Kazakh team in the competition. They would go on to record Kazakhstan's first triumph in the Soviet First League in 1976.
No Kazakh footballer had represented the USSR until 1977 when FC Kairat defender Seilda Baishakov made his debut in a FIFA World Cup qualifier against Hungary. Later, in 1986, his club would go on to add further to their honours by finishing seventh in the Top League, an all-time best finish for a Kazakh club. The country's Eugeny Yarovenko also added to the honours as a member of the victorious Soviet side at the 1988 Summer Olympics.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, a Football Association of the Republic of Kazakhstan was set up in 1992 and soon accepted into FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation. The national team debuted soon afterwards and individual Kazakh competitions were established. The renamed FFK went on to join UEFA in 2002, ending their relationship with the AFC.
Domestic competition
The main league competition in the country is the Kazakhstan Premier League, formed in 1992 from Zone 8 of the Third Level of Soviet football with other higher placed Kazakh clubs co-opted. A first division was added in 1994 and this competition is now organised on a regional basis and is fed into by a further regionalised second division. The Kazakhstan Cup is also competed for, while successful clubs gain entry to the early rounds of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League.
National team
Although they participated in matches against other Republics of the Soviet Union, the Kazakhstan team did not make their official debut as an independent country until 1 June 1992, when they defeated Turkmenistan 1–0. Based at the Almaty Central Stadium, they are yet to qualify for a major tournament.
Champions during Soviet era (1936–91)
A Kazakh SSR championship was founded in 1936 with no Kazakh clubs competing in the Soviet Top League. The winners of this competition were:
1936–81
1980–81. Zone 7, 3rd level of Soviet football, including Kazakhstan and other Central Asian teams
* 1980 – Traktor Pavlodar
* 1981 – Aktyubinets Aktobe
1982–91. Zone 8, 3rd level of Soviet football, including only Kazakhstan teams
* 1982 – Shakhter Karagandy
* 1983 – Shakhter Karagandy
* 1984 – Tselinnik Tselinograd
* 1985 – Meliorator Shymkent

When Ning returned to a condition of ordinary perceptions he was lying alone in the field by the riverside. The great sky-fire made no pretence of averting its rays from his uncovered head, and the lesser creatures of the ground did not hesitate to walk over his once sacred form. The tent and all the other circumstances of the quest of Hia had passed into a state of no-existence, for with a somewhat narrow-minded economy the deity had called them into being with the express provision that they need only be of such a quality as would last for a single night.
With this recollection, other details began to assail his mind. His irreplaceable nail-sheaths—there was no trace of one of them. He looked again. Alas! his incomparable nails were also gone, shorn off to the level of his finger ends. For all their evidence he might be one who had passed his days in discreditable industry. Each moment a fresh point of degradation met his benumbed vision. His profuse and ornamental locks were reduced to a single roughly-plaited coil; his sandals were inelegant and harsh; in place of his many-coloured flowing robes a scanty blue gown clothed his form.

Amanpour: This isn't about 'our way of life'
(CNN)I have visited Nice and the Cote d'Azur for years. I know the Promenade des Anglais; I have strolled along that generously wide, palm-tree lined sidewalk. Nice, of all the towns along that lapis-lazuli blue coastline, has been synonymous for centuries with genteel holidaying, and a winter retreat, especially for the well-heeled English escaping their own damp cold climes. Suddenly, it is yet another of our urban war-zones. My own cousins, who live there, were out watching the Bastille Day fireworks, as they do every year. They tell me they left three minutes before a man decided to turn a truck into a weapon of mass destruction, and the Promenade into a killing field. My cousins were luckier than the scores and scores of people, residents, tourists, men, women, and children, who never saw it coming and couldn't get out of the way fast enough. Even for a war correspondent, this is shocking. We expect to see this kind of carnage out there; we do not expect it in here, on our beaches and sidewalks, in our concert theaters and restaurants, in our sports arenas, newsrooms, and supermarkets. Yet we can expect even more of it now. Covering the horrific Bataclan attacks in Paris last year, I asked Secretary of State John Kerry in Paris whether he accepted that this was "the new normal." He vigorously rejected the very idea: "This is not normal," he said at the time. "It will not be normal. It will not become normal. This is an aberration." Yet since then we have had Brussels, Orlando, Istanbul, Dhaka, Baghdad and now Nice. Perhaps the most profound reality check came today from French Senator Nathalie Goulet, vice chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee. She told me "the message of the day is no-one can prevent this. No state of emergency, no police, no special powers." She said France has done everything it can, thrown as much law enforcement and as many emergency measures at the crisis, and yet it's happened again. She says there is no more secure city than Nice, as both the mayor and the president of the regional council have stepped it up massively with surveillance cameras, facial recognition technology, police -- the works. In Goulet's words, "we are already at maximum security, what more can we do?" France is taking a robust lead in the fight against ISIS in Syria and Iraq. On Friday the government again declared the nation to be at war, and President Hollande vows to increase the pressure on ISIS. On the other hand, experts say it is precisely because they are being confronted in their strongholds that they are lashing out in our streets. I do not believe this is about terrorists attacking "our way of life, our values, our freedoms," which Western leaders say as they vow to continue the fight against terrorism. While they lash out at us, they kill many more of their own. This is war by a totalitarian movement that wants to dominate Muslims and anyone else. Surely they have to be defeated; surely it's now or never; surely an offensive equal to the threat must be mounted? Just to remind about what we are seeing on our streets -- the first issue of al Qaeda's online Inspire Magazine, issued in summer 2010, included this directive: "O Muslims rise up in defense of your Messenger: a man with his knife, a man with his gun, a man with his bomb, by learning how to design explosive devices, by burning down forests and buildings, or by running over them with your cars and trucks." None of these weapons is new, not even the use of a car or truck. Remember Palestinian attacks in Jerusalem in 2014; Tim McVeigh's explosive-laden vehicle that blew up the federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995; or the one that damaged the World Trade Center in 1993; or the one that plowed into the University of North Carolina in 2006, or the one that killed a single solitary person in Venice Beach. And on it goes.... | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Rh others, neither do thou entangle thyself with the affairs of thy betters.
Still have an eye to thyself first, and be sure more especially to admonish thyself before all thy friends.
If thou hast not the favour of men, be not grieved at it; but take this to heart, that thou dost not behave thyself so warily and circumspectly as it becometh the servant of God.
It is better oftentimes and safer that a man should not have many consolations in this life, especially such as are according to the flesh.
But that we have not divine consolations at all, or do very seldom taste them, the fault is ours, because we seek not after compunction of heart, nor do altogether forsake the vain and outward comforts of this world.
4. Know that thou art unworthy of divine consolation, and that thou hast rather deserved much tribulation.
When a man hath perfect compunction, then is the whole world grievous and bitter unto him.
A good man findeth always sufficient cause for mourning and weeping.
For whether he consider his own or his neighbour's estate, he knoweth that none liveth here without tribulation.
And the more narrowly a man looketh into himself, so much the more he sorroweth.
Our sins and wickedness wherein we lie so enwrapt; that we can seldom apply ourselves to heavenly contemplations, do minister unto us matter of just sorrow and inward compunction. | WIKI |

Use of NumPadDot in Windows
Using the NumPad in Windows will give many of you users a dot when pressing the NumPad dot while entering figures with decimals using Manager.
When entering figures in Manager it would be nice if the dot was replaced by a comma, so you don’t have to “leave” the NumPad on your keyboard.
You can replace the NumPad-dot by a comma, by using AutoHotkey. (So this is only for Windows-users).
1. install AutoHotkey
2. and open notepad and copy

Stephanie Zambra
Stephanie Zambra (Roche; born 13 June 1989) is an Irish footballer who plays as a striker for Shamrock Rovers of Dublin and the Republic of Ireland women's national football team. Her October 2013 goal in the Women's National League (WNL) for Peamount United was the runner-up for the 2014 FIFA Puskás Award for the best goal of the year.
At club level Zambra played for various clubs in her native Ireland, including a successful three-year period at Peamount United from 2011 to 2014. She had short spells with Division 1 Féminine team ASPTT Albi in 2014 and National Women's Soccer League club Houston Dash in 2015. A longer stint at FA WSL club Sunderland from 2015 to 2018 was interrupted by injury and illness, before she spent a year in Italy with Florentia in 2018 and 2019. She joined Peamount United for a second time in February 2020. In December 2022, she joined newly re-formed Shamrock Rovers ahead of the 2023 season.
After winning her first senior cap in October 2008, Zambra has made over 50 appearances for the Republic of Ireland national team. She was absent for almost two years after breaking her leg in during Ireland's failed 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification campaign, but was recalled in August 2019.
Zambra stated in February 2020 that she enjoyed very good luck when her famous goal opened up wider opportunities for her, but that much of her subsequent football career has been plagued by correspondingly bad luck. She has worked for RTÉ as a television pundit, covering events including the 2018 and 2022 editions of the FIFA World Cup, and UEFA Euro 2020.
Early life
Zambra began playing football with the boys on the streets of her native Shankill. After a brief spell with Valeview Shankill FC was curtailed by rules against mixed-gender football, Zambra turned out for Cabinteely Girls. She progressed to playing for Stella Maris, where she struck up a forward partnership with Áine O'Gorman in the club's Under-18 team.
In 2008 Zambra was awarded a Football Association of Ireland (FAI) scholarship to Sallynoggin College. She was named in an Irish Colleges team which travelled to Scotland for two friendlies in April 2009.
Early career
In June 2007, Zambra moved to Dundalk City and reportedly enjoyed a "dream debut", scoring twice in a 5–2 win over Benfica. After moving on to Raheny United, Zambra went on trial with English FA WSL club Doncaster Rovers Belles in February 2011, playing in a 4–0 friendly win over Blackburn Rovers.
Peamount United
In the inaugural 2011–12 Women's National League season, Zambra won the Golden Boot by scoring 26 goals for champions Peamount United. She formed a "devastating" striking partnership with Player of the Year Sara Lawlor. Zambra also scored the winner in the WNL Cup final to secure a double. In August 2011, Zambra played for Peamount United in the 2011–12 UEFA Women's Champions League. Following Peamount's elimination by Paris Saint-Germain Féminine, Zambra rejected a transfer offer from FC Vendenheim. She recaptured the league Golden Boot from team-mate Lawlor in the 2013–14 Women's National League campaign.
FIFA Puskás Award
Zambra scored an acclaimed goal for Peamount against Wexford Youths in October 2013 which went viral on YouTube and brought her international attention. It was her first goal of the WNL season and was uploaded to the internet by team manager Eileen Gleeson as the matches were not televised. Zambra was glad it was captured for posterity: "It's just good for us now to get that on camera, it gives the Women's National League a bit of publicity as well as girls' football in Ireland, and I'm happy to be a part of that as well."
Later that year she was shortlisted for the 2014 FIFA Puskás Award, for the best goal of the year. She was the only female player to be nominated. Following an initial public vote, Zambra's goal was nominated as one of three finalists, alongside James Rodríguez and Robin van Persie, who had both scored their nominated goals at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. She was the sixth female player to be nominated for the award, and the first to rank among the finalists. At the 2014 FIFA Ballon d'Or awards ceremony on 12 January 2015, Zambra finished in second place to Rodríguez for the FIFA Puskás Award, with 33% of the vote.
ASPTT Albi
In June 2014, Zambra signed for newly promoted Division 1 Féminine team ASPTT Albi. She failed to settle in France, scoring once in ten appearances before quitting the club amidst the FIFA Puskás Award publicity. Albi manager David Welferinger said: "This departure is linked to what is happening to her at the moment. She has been in high demand in recent weeks. I understand her decision even if it's sad." Zambra later explained that she was on an unfeasibly low salary in France having negotiated her own contract. She was particularly exasperated when the team failed to communicate the travel arrangements for a friendly match and departed with Zambra left behind. The "final straw" arrived when the team were made to wear revealing outfits for a promotional photo shoot.
Houston Dash
On 18 February 2015 Zambra signed with the Houston Dash. Dash coach Randy Waldrum hailed Zambra as: "possibly the best goalscorer to come out of Ireland since Olivia O'Toole". After making only two brief substitute appearances in the National Women's Soccer League, Zambra was waived by the Houston Dash on 20 May 2015. Zambra was "shocked and disappointed" to be discarded three months into her one-year contract, but understood the club's reasoning. Although he was satisfied with Zambra's progress, Waldrum urgently needed to improve the team's defence. He had to release Zambra to free up an international slot and roster space for defensive reinforcements Camila Martins Pereira and Ellie Brush.
Sunderland
Zambra signed a two-year deal with FA WSL club Sunderland A.F.C. Ladies on 17 June 2015. Her appearances in the 2016 FA WSL season were curtailed by illness, when she developed an abscess in her throat which ultimately required a tonsillectomy. She sustained a broken leg while on international duty in September 2017 and was released from her Sunderland contract in Summer 2018, when the club failed to secure a license for the top two tiers of women's football in England. At Sunderland Zambra was often played out of position as a wing-back, which she did not enjoy.
Florentia
Zambra agreed a transfer to Italian Serie A club C.F. Florentia in November 2018. An ankle injury derailed her early progress and she started just one of four her appearances in the remainder of the 2018–19 Serie A season. For 2019–20 the club relocated from Florence to San Gimignano. The new campaign looked promising for Zambra when she scored eight goals in pre-season, but she failed to register a goal in seven competitive league and cup appearances.
She grew increasingly disillusioned with aspects of her time at the club and decided to leave after one year: "I don't want to talk bad about the club or anything - I finished on good terms - but there was a lot of stuff that didn't go the way I wanted it to go. And I came to the realisation that it wasn't for me." Zambra later explained that she had not been paid in accordance with her contract and as of October 2021 was still owed two month's wages by Florentia.
Back to Peamount
In February 2020 Zambra re-signed for Peamount United. In moving back to the Women's National League she wanted to be closer to her friends and family, to plan for her career after football and to win back her national team place. When the delayed 2020 Women's National League season started she was disrupted by a cracked rib and then a calf injury. She also missed the UEFA Women's Champions League fixture against Glasgow City in November 2020, under contact tracing rules. A consistent run of games at the end of the season saw a return to form for Zambra, who scored twice and was named Player of the Match in Peamount's 6–0 2020 FAI Women's Cup Final win over Cork City.
Zambra's appearance on the reality television show Special Forces: Ultimate Hell Week disrupted her preparations for the 2021 Women's National League season. Although she scored nine goals in 26 appearances, tiredness and minor injuries continued to reduce her effectiveness as Peamount lost their WNL title to Shelbourne on the final day. Nevertheless, Peamount manager James O'Callaghan was pleased when Zambra agreed to return for the 2022 Women's National League season, rejecting transfer offers from DLR Waves and Bohemians. Zambra began the new season in top form, scoring four goals in five games and being named WNL Player of the Month for March 2022. She finished the season with 16 goals, as Peamount came third in the table behind Shelbourne and Athlone Town.
Shamrock Rovers
On 8 December 2022, it was announced that Zambra would be joining the newly reformed Shamrock Rovers women's team ahead of the 2023 season, following other former Peamount players Áine O'Gorman and Summer Lawless to the Tallaght outfit. Zambra faced a demanding schedule as she had agreed to participate in the sixth season of Dancing with the Stars alongside training with her new club. She also announced her intention to play football under her married name, Stephanie Zambra, from the start of the 2023 season.
Youth
Zambra represented the Republic of Ireland at the youth level, saying: "I just missed out in the final trials for Ireland under 15s and I was really heartbroken. But then I made the team at under 17s." In August 2005, she scored the winning goal on her under 19 debut, securing a 3–2 win over Finland at Richmond Park. In three seasons at the under-19 level, Zambra remained a regular pick and was the team's top-goalscorer.
Senior
Zambra's senior international debut came in a 3–0 UEFA Women's Euro 2009 qualifying play-off defeat by Iceland in October 2008. She replaced Stef Curtis for the last five minutes of the match at Laugardalsvöllur. In September 2009, Zambra scored her first senior goal, a late winner in the 2–1 World Cup qualifying win over Kazakhstan at Turners Cross. In the following month's return fixture, Roche made her first start for the Irish senior team. She scored again, the equaliser in another 2–1 win for Ireland. Zambra scored her third goal for Ireland during a home friendly defeat by France in March 2010. Despite her equaliser, a controversial penalty from Sonia Bompastor and Marie-Laure Delie's late winner gave the French victory.
National coach Susan Ronan dropped Zambra from the squad for a friendly with Austria in June 2013 and the subsequent 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifiers. This left her disappointed but keen to win back her place: "I was dropped against Austria and wasn't told why or what the story was. I've played for the last few years so it hurt me to be let go while not knowing what was happening so I'd love to get back in again." After Zambra re-discovered her goal-scoring form at the club level, Ronan re-called her in October 2013.
On 5 April 2014 in a 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifier against Germany at Tallaght Stadium, Zambra equalised the game at 2–2 in the 89th minute. But Ireland lost 3–2 when Melanie Leupolz scored in injury time. In the penultimate qualifier Zambra scored an injury time goal of her own to secure a 1–0 victory over Slovakia in Senec on 13 September 2014.
Zambra continued to be selected by Sue Ronan for Ireland's UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying Group 2 fixtures. In June 2016 Zambra scored a hat-trick in Ireland's 9–0 win over Montenegro. That brought her tally to four goals in four days, as she had scored Ireland's consolation as they were beaten 4–1 by Finland in Valkeakoski. When Ronan decided to step down as national team coach, Zambra scored a "stunning 25-yard free-kick" in her farewell match, a 2–1 win over the Basque Country at Tallaght Stadium on 26 November 2016.
Under Ronan's successor Colin Bell, Zambra maintained her national team place. She scored in Bell's first game in charge, a 2–0 win over the Czech Republic at the 2017 Cyprus Cup on 1 March 2017. The following month, Zambra was among a delegation of 13 players who secured substantially improved working conditions for Ireland's female national team players, following a protracted dispute with the Football Association of Ireland. She then scored the only goal from a penalty kick as Ireland beat Slovakia in a friendly match which had been at risk of cancellation due to the dispute.
In Ireland's opening 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifier, a 2–0 win over Northern Ireland in Lurgan, Zambra suffered a broken tibia. She returned to training in January 2018 but experienced knee pain when kicking the ball, then further scans detected another fracture and meniscus damage. In February 2019 Zambra expressed annoyance at a newspaper report which incorrectly stated she had retired from international football: "I'm not after retiring, I'm just injured like!"
Ireland's interim manager Tom O'Connor recalled Zambra after almost two years for the opening UEFA Women's Euro 2022 qualifier against Montenegro at Tallaght Stadium on 3 September 2019. Zambra appeared as a late substitute in Ireland's 1–1 draw in Greece on 12 November 2019, but was then left out by new head coach Vera Pauw for the double-header against Greece and Montenegro in March 2020. When Heather Payne was injured in the first match, Zambra was called up as her replacement for the fixture in Montenegro.
Following an injury to Kyra Carusa, Pauw recalled Zambra in June 2022 for a friendly against the Philippines in Antalya, Turkey, and a 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification – UEFA Group A fixture against Georgia. Zambra had continued to attend training sessions throughout her exile from the national team and was praised by Pauw for her professionalism. In Ireland's 1–0 win over the Philippines Zambra started her first national team game since 2017.

Motivation
The discovery of relationships between gene expression measurements and phenotypic responses is hampered by both computational and statistical impediments. Conventional statistical methods are less than ideal because they either fail to select relevant genes, predict poorly, ignore the unknown interaction structure between genes, or are computationally intractable. Thus, the creation of new methods which can handle many expression measurements on relatively small numbers of patients while also uncovering gene–gene relationships and predicting well is desirable.
Results
We develop a new technique for using the marginal relationship between gene expression measurements and patient survival outcomes to identify a small subset of genes which appear highly relevant for predicting survival, produce a low-dimensional embedding based on this small subset, and amplify this embedding with information from the remaining genes. We motivate our methodology by using gene expression measurements to predict survival time for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, illustrate the behavior of our methodology on carefully constructed synthetic examples, and test it on a number of other gene expression datasets. Our technique is computationally tractable, generally outperforms other methods, is extensible to other phenotypes, and also identifies different genes (relative to existing methods) for possible future study.

Talk:Jatimatic
Plagiarism?
A paragraph in this article is clearly exactly the same as the world guns.ru-article. Who ripped whom off, I wonder? <IP_ADDRESS> 17:09, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Name of the gun
The |Finnish reference I added starts JaTiMatic-konepistoolin tarina (huomaa nimen oikeellinen kirjoitustapa) alkaa... Translated to english The story of JaTiMatic-machine gun (Note the righteous spelling) begins... While reading the article further it seems that the writer has followed closely the phases of the gun and maybe even known mr. Timari himself. --Easyas12c 00:33, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Anyway it isn't "YaTiMatik", same as Hämäläinen isn't Haemaelaenen...--<IP_ADDRESS> 00:42, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
phonetic form
Maybe we should add to the article the phonetic form written with International Phonetic Alphabet. Like in gnutella-article. --Easyas12c 00:53, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
service sub-machine gun
I don't know what service exactly means in this context, but I've heard some people have had JaTiMatics while going throught Finnish military service. Does this mean it is a service sub-machine gun? --Easyas12c 01:16, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
FDF has tested all kind of weapons (P90 for ex.), and possibly tested also Jati, but that someone has had it as his serviceweapon sounds just "tornihuhu". It has never been adopted to FDF, and it's in it original form rather unsuitable as militaryweapon.--<IP_ADDRESS> 15:08, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Well I heard it directly from a person who claimed he was carrying one during service. He also said with sarcastic tone that they did not shoot with them, because you could not succesfully hit anything with one. But ofcourse I have no idea how common they were. I wonder, if The Finnish Defense Forces would share statistic infromation about this, if we would ask them directly. --Easyas12c 15:34, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
In Kaliberi-magazine 2/96 is article about GG-95, and in it "Puolustusvoimat ovat myös osoittaneet kiinnostusta aseeseen, sillä se on tilannut muutamia kappaleita testeihin." (FDF has shown some interest to the weapon and ordered few samples for testing), so I think that your friend concluded result of that testing, in what he said.--<IP_ADDRESS> 15:54, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
* Anecdote: Here in Finland it is told, that Finnish Defence Forces tested the Jatimatic smg. during the 1990's, but the results didn't satisfy FDF. Still worse was coming, one over-weighted colonel sat on a chair, where the Jatimatic rested. The Jatimatic became smashed, that's why FDF selected a Heckler & Koch MP5 designated as "9.00 KP 2000". Otherwise, Oy Gold Gun Ltd. got bankrupted sometimes between 2000 and 2005. Already the second manufacturer! : <IP_ADDRESS> 19:07, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Fictional Appearances
To Sus Scrofa, I would like to avoid an edit war, so I will provide a reason for why I believe the movies and games should be removed in the article.
It was decided that in order for a fictional appearance to be noteworthy, and included in an article, it must be well known, at least mention the name of in this case the firearm, and it must make an impact on the firearm. Such as, the F-14 Tomcat became very popular after the movie Top Gun was released. This would be a notable appearance. Or, the Walther PPK which became very famous due to James Bond's usage of the PPK. For more details, see Talk:Walther P 38, Removal of Fictional Appearances. LWF 22:05, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
* I think an exception can be made in this case since it's such a rare gun that nonetheless appears in many games and films. I don't see a need to list every apperance of the JaTiMatic (that part is fine as it is), but I believe it's notable that a weapon that was manufactured in such small numbers retains such a high profile in popular media. However, if you want to remove it again, go ahead, it's not that important for me really. --Sus scrofa 00:17, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
* I think that since the average person can't identify it from its appearances that I'll remove it. The media probably chooses it for its looks anyway.--LWF 00:32, 23 November 2006 (UTC) | WIKI |

Talk:you
Early discussion
Would it not be better to have it in table form ???
If you log in, you can then turn on auto-number headings in your preferences. It would show up better. BTW, translations should be put in alphabetical order. Petruk 18:48 May 16, 2003 (UTC)
* I agree - this page is a bit of a minefield as it stands. I'm about to introduce tables (one per language) to the "me" page. -- Paul G 13:19, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)
* I'm not sure if tables directly on the pages are a good idea. What about just putting the translations on the page and linking to a special page with the tables? Words with multiple translations each requiring a table would get out of hand. So would words which translate into many cases in some languages. Hippietrail 13:26, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)
* I should have said the "your" and "yours" pages - I think the French and Italian entries (qqv) would be much more readable as tables. -- Paul G 13:27, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)
* OK, I've tabulated the French and Italian translations on the "yours" page. I think it's much more readable in this format. -- Paul G 13:44, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)
This article is a hideous, foreign-centric mess! English does not have all these "senses" or "meanings" for the word "you". "You" has one sense, one meaning, several native grammatical usages which most native speakers are unaware of, and many mappings into foreign languages with more exotic systems. It's difficult (and pointless) enough trying to create an entry for the several extra western European personal pronouns - just look what's happening as we try to extend this to the many Asian pronouns - which do not even map neatly to each other! So let's get rid of all the so-called "senses" - or at least pare it back to the basic 4 of subject/object & singular/plural. Now we just need to keep the 1 (or 4) to many translations and dump the entire notion of a many to many mapping that is always going to be unworkable. The other language Wiktionaries that deal with more exotic pronoun systems may need something this complex (though I doubt it), but English sure does not.
End of rant — thank you for putting up (: — Hippietrail 15:39, 17 May 2004 (UTC)
* Not sure I'd put it quite that strongly, but I agree that most of this material should be pushed out (perhaps to Wikipedia) and linked to. -dmh 16:16, 17 May 2004 (UTC)
* It just looks to me like the =Translations= section got rather a bit overgrown. (The definition itself is under =Personal pronoun=, and doesn't have all that cruft.) If =Translations= gets condensed into a more traditional form, using only headwords in the translations list, and moving all inflected forms to the relevant word's page, and marking the forms inline for register, e.g.:
* French: tu sg. familiar, vous sg. polite, plural
* —instead of the monstrosity that is up there, including the whole word's inflection, usage notes, and whatnot, which really belong on the relevant words' pages, then You will look a lot better. —Muke Tever 16:49, 17 May 2004 (UTC)
* A more sober look now and I see two basic problems.
* The singular/plural/nominative/accusative headings were not subheadings under "personal pronoun" or under "translations" so the table of contents was messed up by that.
* The casual/formal/familiar distinctions don't exist in English and thus have no place as headings.
* I'll fix the heading level problem and the rest can simmer a bit... — Hippietrail 17:00, 17 May 2004 (UTC)
I merged all the subheadings under =Translations=. A lot of words had been put in multiple categories that didn't apply (not all languages had separate accusative or plural forms of words, but they multiplied across all the subheadings anyway), but I also cut a lot of information that just doesn't belong on this page, mainly the accusative forms of words. I think these should belong on the pages for the word in their own language, along with the rest of the pronouns' declensions (because I know several of these have more forms than just sg and pl, nom and acc). I put this information in comments, because I didn't want to remove it right away, but realize it may be useful to people so I'm putting it here too.
* The Japanese plurals are all regularly derived (except maybe "kisama-ra"): 貴方達 (あなたたち, anata-tachi, generic, plural), お前達 (おまえたち, omae-tachi, slightly rude, plural), 貴様等 (きさまら, kisama-ra, horribly insulting, used to be highly formal, plural) 君達 (きみたち, kimi-tachi, family and romantic, plural)
* Persian accusatives: تُرا (torā), شُما را (ʃomā rā)
* Romanian accusative of tu: te
* Russian accusatives: тебя (tebja), Вас (Vas), вас (vas)
* Slovenian accusatives: te/tebe
* Swedish accusatives: dig, colloquially dej; er
* Turkish accusatives: seni, sana, siz
* Several romance-language "accusative" clitic forms that are actually third person, but used for second person as the polite second person forms are from nouns (and thus are technically, and grammatically, third person)
* Hindi accusative given as tum with no native-script rendering
If anyone disagrees with their removal from the page, they can put them back. The revision before I started work was. —Muke Tever 22:19, 17 May 2004 (UTC)
Japanese mess
In my opinion, the Japanese section is already too long, and I could easily make it longer without breaking a sweat. I suggest radically trimming it down to something like:
* Japanese
* あなた、君、お前
* None of these are suitable for use in formal speech. Names or titles are usually used instead.
--<IP_ADDRESS> 08:20, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
* The problem is that they come up and are equivalent to "you." Is there a way to make a separate box just for the Japanese pronouns? Wakablogger 16:59, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
Expanding the mess
Methinks that we can expand the mess by including the plural forms. Personal pronouns are probably one of few parts of speech which show plural forms. So we could add あなたたち, 君たち=君達, お前達=おまえたち ..., which mean basically ye, while the current ones mean thou (with different levels of civility). The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 17:26, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
A Proposition
I propose that in translations, we should divide singular and plural you.
--Filip 10:25, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
* The definitions for singular and plural should be separated too, since they don't have the same meaning. Kipmaster 10:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
ye as archaic plural of you
There should be a note somewhere on this page that the plural of "you" used to be "ye". And that the absence of a plural "ye" has led to slang replacements such as "you guys" or "youse". - <IP_ADDRESS> 19:51, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
* This information is already to be found under Alternative spellings, Usage notes, and Synonyms. —Stephen 08:49, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
* The article says that "with time ye came to represent any plural form." But isn't it really the other way around? I thought that "ye" is no longer used because "you" now represents any plural form (as well as representing the singular). —Aboctok 01:10, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
* No, that's why thou and thee are no longer used. Ye is no longer used because you now represents the subjective/nominative form (as well as representing the objective/oblique). I'll fix that sentence. —Ruakh TALK 01:20, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
"Imperative" you
Do any of the senses cover the "imperative" you, as in "You go right ahead"? I couldn't spot it in the examples. Equinox 13:08, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
* Is this relevant to the word "you"? Surely the imperative nature applies to the fact that it is a command (or something close to it). A command is, I think, only ever applied to the second person, singular or plural. That is, the "you" is coincidentally the object of the imperative, but not an intrinsic part of it. Pingku 17:58, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
* I think it's relevant because there are two possible forms: with the you ("You go right ahead") and without ("Go right ahead"). There are phrases which would sound bizarre without the pronoun ("Don't you dare!") and others which would sound bizarre with it ("Go home!"). Equinox ◑ 18:06, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
English usage 6 (object pronoun) - need to explain use of "you" to mean "me" (the user)
6. (object pronoun) Anyone, one; an unspecified individual. They don’t smile at you when they serve you in this store.
I think it's important for us to record & report the fact that "you" is often used to actually mean "me" (or "the user"). I guess I could just stick "me" in under usage/example 6 (above) but it probably requires some kind of further explanation/clarification, as it would, of course, look really strange (although it is the actual usage). Also, because this usage represents a linguistic act of (psychological) projection, perhaps somehow we could include a link to that?--Tyranny Sue 02:55, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
* Hmm. I think it means one or people in general, not me. If I said "They don't smile at you in this store", I would mean that I didn't expect them to smile at anybody — if I felt that I was being singled out, or if I had no idea about their likely behaviour to others, I would say "me". Do you have any clearer example? Equinox ◑ 20:27, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
* I expect that the "you" is the plural form, regardless of the fact you may be speaking to a single person. The example given is expressing a theory (of mind) of how certain people behave; the fact that it may derive from personal experience is not relevant. Pingku 15:20, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
* Agree: the meaning of the sentence, and the tone in which it is spoken change considerably if "me" replaces "you". D b f i r s 16:04, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Is there a reason they had to find the ugliest sounding American speaker to recite all these audio clips? Just wondering.

* I've added three citations, but they're not brilliant. 1930 (Barrington Hall) and 2004 (Ellen Miller) intend: to address someone using "you". 1992 (Barbara Anderson) is to address someone using "you" rather than "". None of them are doing so "rather than thou".

The entry states that the usage of "you" as nominative instead of "ye" began during the 14th century in the plural meaning, while its usage in the polite Singular only arose in the 15th century.

It is perfectly compatible for the theory to be correct without any religious claim whatsoever. The beings who transmit their information so it exists after the postulated crunch of the universe are not therefore necessarily divine. ( I should mention that the postulated crunch is quite independent of this particular theory, is very widely supported, and does not necessarily lead to it.) This article is somewhat more general about the theory, and therefore justifiable. Whether or not is correct is not for WP to determine.

Netcare Hospitals Carried out Illegal Transplants, Star Says
Illegal kidney transplants were
carried out in at least four South African hospitals, including
three operated by Netcare Ltd ., South Africa’s largest private-
hospital operator, the Saturday Star reported, citing John
Robbs, a surgeon at St. Augustine’s hospital in Durban. Netcare’s Garden City Hospital and state-run Charlotte
Maxeke Academic Hospital in Johannesburg together performed 140
illegal kidney transplants, while Netcare’s St. Augustine’s
hospital and Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital in Cape Town
carried out a further 189 such operations between them, the
Johannesburg-based newspaper said today. Four calls to Netcare’s switchboard and the company
secretary’s office by Bloomberg News today were not answered.
Charlotte Maxeke Academic Hospital didn’t immediately respond to
a phone message left by Bloomberg News requesting comment. The doctors involved in the so-called cash-for-kidney
program were not employed by Netcare and the company believed
that, while it was not the creator of the program, the plan was
legal, the Star said, citing spokeswoman Martina Nicholson. Netcare in November pleaded guilty to illegal organ
transplants at St. Augustine’s and was fined 4 million rand
($569,436) in the country’s Commercial Crime Court. To contact the reporter on this story: Franz Wild in Johannesburg at

Speech Recognition using Google Speech API
Google has a great Speech Recognition API. This API converts spoken text (microphone) into written text (Python strings), briefly Speech to Text. You can simply speak in a microphone and Google API will translate this into written text. The API has excellent results for English language.
Google has also created the JavaScript Web Speech API, so you can recognize speech also in JavaScript if you want, here’s the link: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/demos/speech.html. To use it on the web you will need Google Chrome version 25 or later.
Related courses:
Installation
Google Speech API v2 is limited to 50 queries per day. Make sure you have a good microphone.
Are you are looking for text to speech instead?
This is the installation guide for Ubuntu Linux. But this will probably work on other platforms is well. You will need to install a few packages: PyAudio, PortAudio and SpeechRecognition. PyAudio 0.2.9 is required and you may need to compile that manually.
git clone http://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/git/pyaudio.git
cd pyaudio
sudo python setup.py install
sudo apt-get installl libportaudio-dev
sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install libportaudio0 libportaudio2 libportaudiocpp0 portaudio19-dev
sudo pip3 install SpeechRecognition
Program
This program will record audio from your microphone, send it to the speech API and return a Python string.
The audio is recorded using the speech recognition module, the module will include on top of the program. Secondly we send the record speech to the Google speech recognition API which will then return the output.
r.recognize_google(audio) returns a string.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# Requires PyAudio and PySpeech.
import speech_recognition as sr
# Record Audio
r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
print("Say something!")
audio = r.listen(source)
# Speech recognition using Google Speech Recognition

Here’s an edit of your script you can use to test Google or Sphinx recogntion in dialogue format. It will speak it’s response back to you. I also changed the listen interval to 5 seconds as my builtin microphone has so much noise it will hang indefinitely. Needs ‘python-gtts’ and ‘pygame’ installed via apt or otherwise.
import speech_recognition as sr
from gtts import gTTS
#quiet the endless 'insecurerequest' warning
import urllib3
urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)
from pygame import mixer
mixer.init()
while (True == True):
# obtain audio from the microphone
r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
#print("Please wait. Calibrating microphone...")
# listen for 1 second and create the ambient noise energy level
r.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source, duration=1)
print("Say something!")
audio = r.listen(source,phrase_time_limit=5)
# recognize speech using Sphinx/Google
try:
#response = r.recognize_sphinx(audio)
response = r.recognize_google(audio)
print("I think you said '" + response + "'")
tts = gTTS(text="I think you said "+str(response), lang='en')
tts.save("response.mp3")
mixer.music.load('response.mp3')
mixer.music.play()
except sr.UnknownValueError:
print("Sphinx could not understand audio")
except sr.RequestError as e:
print("Sphinx error; {0}".format(e))

pygame’s play was incredibly buggy for me, causing this to hang a lot. I ended up using mpg123 via os.system(‘mpg123 -q filename.mp3’) instead.

Hello Frank. I’ve tried the tutorial, but it seems to stuck at “Say something!”. I already changed the audio source with
with sr.Microphone(device_index=2) as source:
Tried the demo site https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/demos/speech.html and my mic works. I can record voices from the mic and save audio data. But the tutorial code just stuck at “Say something”.
Any idea on how to fix this? I’m using Raspberry Pi on latest Raspbian. Thanks.

Check with nethogs or ‘netstat -antup’ to see if a network connection is made when running the program. You could also try the cloud voice recognition service.

Thank you. The network is working. It turns out the default mic sensitiviy was cranked up too high; so high it failed to distinguish my voice from the ambience, so it listened continuously forever. I lowered the volume and its working perfectly! Thank you

Hello Frank. Thanks for your concise tutorial.
Is there a way to change the language that Google Api is working on, for example, to ‘Bahasa Malaysia’? I assume the tutorial is working by default in English?
Thanks.

You can specify a language parameter in the recognize_google call. Set it to ‘ms-MY’

Thanks for the answer. Sorry for asking that redundant question; I just saw your previous reply to another poster asking the same thing. I hope you’ll continue to give these useful tutorials. Thank you.
