Clayton Anderson

Clayton Conrad Anderson (born February 23, 1959) is a retired NASA astronaut. Launched on STS-117, he replaced Sunita Williams on June 10, 2007, as a member of the ISS Expedition 15 crew. He is currently an author, a motivational speaker, and a Professor of Practice at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. In 2022 he became the president and CEO of the Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum.

Education
Anderson graduated from Ashland-Greenwood High School, Ashland, Nebraska, 1977, received a Bachelor of Science degree (cum laude) in physics at Hastings College, Nebraska, in 1981 and a Master of Science degree in aerospace engineering at Iowa State University in 1983.

Astronaut duties
Selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in June 1998, he reported for training in August of that year. Training included orientation briefings and tours, numerous scientific and technical briefings, intensive instruction in Shuttle and International Space Station (ISS) systems, physiological training, ground school to prepare for T-38 flight training, as well as learning water and wilderness survival techniques.

Prior to being assigned to a spaceflight, Anderson served as the lead for the Enhanced Caution and Warning (ECW) System development effort within the Space Shuttle Cockpit Avionics Upgrade (CAU) Project. Previously, he was the crew support astronaut for ISS Expedition 4, providing ground support on technical issues in addition to supporting the crew families. Anderson also served as an ISS Capsule Communicator (CAPCOM) and as the Astronaut Office crew representative for the Station's electrical power system. In November 2002, Anderson completed training in the Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Skills program. He was back-up flight engineer for Expedition 12, Expedition 13 and Expedition 14 to the International Space Station.

Anderson served as an astronaut family escort for the STS-107 mission at the request of Rick Husband.

In June 2003, Anderson served as an aquanaut during the NEEMO 5 mission aboard the Aquarius underwater laboratory, living and working underwater for fourteen days. During a NEEMO 5 underwater EVA, Anderson cut his thumb with a knife. The wound was stitched up by hand surgeon and extreme medicine specialist Kenneth Kamler, who was observing the NEEMO project and dove to Aquarius to perform the procedure.

He was a mission specialist on STS-131, launched in April 2010. The primary payload of this mission was a Multi-Purpose Logistics Module loaded with supplies and equipment for the International Space Station.

International Space Station
Anderson was a member of the Expedition 15 crew and spent 152 days on board the International Space Station. He launched to the station aboard Shuttle Atlantis as mission specialist 5 for the STS-117 mission on June 8, 2007, and remained on board as a member of the Expedition 16 crew before returning to earth aboard Discovery on mission STS-120 on November 7, 2007. On return his official title was mission specialist 5. Two of the photos that he took during his July and August 2007 spacewalks were listed on Popular Science's photo gallery of the best astronaut selfies.

Anderson continued a tradition aboard the International Space Station, started by Michael Lopez-Alegria, of conducting daily "trivia" contests with mission control team members on the ground. During Alegria's seven-month stay on the station he would routinely call down movie quotes and challenge the team members to determine the movie the quote was from. Towards the end of his mission, he changed to music trivia playing a portion of a song and challenging the team to complete the line. Anderson has taken this tradition and put his own personal twist on it, using the "Book of Answers: The New York Public Library Telephone Reference Service's Most Unusual and Entertaining Questions". Anderson often played song clips for the ground control team, or specific individuals, most notably when he played the song "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" by Bryan Adams for his wife on her birthday.

After NASA
In May 2022 he became the president and CEO of the Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum, a museum in his hometown of Ashland.

Personal
Anderson was born in Omaha but considers Ashland, Nebraska to be his hometown. Married to Susan Jane Anderson (née Harreld) of Elkhart, Indiana. They have two children, a son and a daughter. His mother, Alice J. Anderson, died in December 2007, shortly after his return to Earth. His father, John T. Anderson, is deceased.

Like many of the other astronauts and cosmonauts, he is a licensed amateur radio operator having passed the technician class license exam in 2001 and was issued the call sign KD5PLA by the Federal Communications Commission on August 13, 2001. During his stay on the ISS in September 2007, he used one of the two amateur radio stations on board to talk with school children.

Anderson is the first and only astronaut from Nebraska and was widely reported in news media as the astronaut rejected fourteen times by NASA before being accepted in 1998. Anderson eventually retired from NASA in January 2013 after serving fifteen years and is now in education.

WikiProject class rating

Peggy
Just an addition, Peggy's first band when he was aged 15/16 was Dave and the Emeralds. I know, because I helped lug their gear into a gig at the BCT social club in Acocks Green, and Peggt cost me a whole packet of Park Drive! — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 11:35, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Would be nice to add, provided that per WP:V and WP:BLP (not to mention WP:NOR) a reliable source can be given. Personal knowledge is not considered reliable source. -- Red rose64 (talk) 12:24, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Label(s)
Template:Infobox musical artist just says: "The record label or labels to which the act has been signed." To me that would seem to include all the Fairport stuff on Island. Is there a different consensus recorded somewhere for solo acts who used to be in bands? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:59, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, the act. For this article, the act is Dave Pegg, and not Fairport Convention. -- Red rose64 🌹 (talk) 22:03, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. But the template advice could be clearer. This implies that Pegg was never signed to Island. Surely that would only be correct if the Island contract was with the band as an entity? Was that in fact the case? I would imagine this varies, depending on the company and the manager/ agent. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:30, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The Fairport Convention recording contract will have been between Island Records and the band as a whole, they will not have been obliged to sign a new contract whenever the lineup changed. Which for FC was remarkably often. -- Red rose64 🌹 (talk) 07:40, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I guess there's a reliable source for that somewhere? But I'm still wondering if some cases might differ or if, for some reason, that has always been true for all bands. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 07:45, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, consider this: if a lineup change requires a new contract, then it becomes easy to unilaterally terminate an existing contract, merely by hiring or firing a member. After Rising for the Moon, FC's contract with Island required them to provide one more album; so if the contract was between individuals and Island, they could have got themselves out of that obligation by saying "Sandy Denny, Jerry Donahue and Trevor Lucas have all left, so the rest of us aren't bound by their contract any more". However, it is known that Gottle O'Geer (which was intended as a Dave Swarbrick solo project) was put out under the Fairport band name in order to fulfil the outstanding contract. -- Red rose64 🌹 (talk) 09:00, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, that all makes perfect sense, I'm sure. Thanks Redrose, for your detailed reply. I'm not really disputing any of that. I know Fairport had quite a few contractual issues with Island over the years. I'm just curious about the contractual arrangement of bands in general. Am I right in thinking that Joe Boyd's involvement with the band ended with Full House in 1970? I don't see mention of any other manager at the Fairport Convention article. Many thanks for your time. Martinevans123 (talk)
 * Their manager was Phillip Stirling-Wall by the time that Rosie was put out - prior to becoming manager, he had contributed the spoken introduction to "Babbacombe" Lee, and (I think) David Denny (brother of Sandy) became manager circa 1974/75. -- Red rose64 🌹 (talk) 09:41, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Were they the ones who signed the record label contracts? Would those names be useful detail for the article? And would it be clearer if the template advice explicitly said something like: "Do not include the labels to which a band was signed when the artist was a member of that band." Martinevans123 (talk) 09:46, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Mandolin and vocals
I think that mandolin and vocals should be added to a the instruments section, also we need a list of instruments he plays as the multi instrumentalist label needs expanding on, for instance as well as bass, mandolin and vocals, he has also been credited with playing guitar, violin, double bass, banjo, ukulele, and bouzouki on albums by the Fairport Convention and other artists, citations can be seen on AllMusic and Discogs. 80s Sam (talk) 19:34, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Wikipedia content is determined by reliable sources, policies, and guidelines, not what one editor thinks. Virtually none of this is discussed in the article, much less sourced. And we don't add a long list of instruments in the infobox, even if sourced. That belongs in the main part of the article. Sundayclose (talk) 19:49, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

I am proposing that the long list is added into the article and just mandolin and vocals is added to the infobox. 80s Sam (talk) 07:09, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Linear Algebra

This book discusses proof-based linear algebra. The book was designed specifically for students who have not previously been exposed to mathematics as mathematicians view it: that is, as a subject whose goal is to rigorously prove theorems starting from clear consistent definitions. This book attempts to build students up from a background where mathematics is simply a tool that provides useful calculations to the point where the students have a grasp of the clear and precise nature of mathematics. A more detailed discussion of the prerequisites and goal of this book is given in the introduction.

Because of the proof-based nature of this book, readers are recommended to be familiar with mathematical proof before reading this book (although this is not a prerequisite, strictly speaking), so that their reading experiences can be smoother. To gain familiarity with mathematical proof and also some basic mathematical concepts, readers may read the wikibook Mathematical Proof. For a milder introduction to linear algebra that is not too proof-based, see the wikibook Introductory Linear Algebra.

Poonch district, India

Poonch or Punch is a district of the Jammu division of Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir in the disputed Kashmir region. The application of the term "administered" to the various regions of Kashmir and a mention of the Kashmir dispute is supported by the tertiary sources (a) through (d), reflecting due weight in the coverage. Although "controlled" and "held" are also applied neutrally to the names of the disputants or to the regions administered by them, as evidenced in sources (f) through (h) below, "held" is also considered politicized usage, as is the term "occupied," (see (i) below). (a) (subscription required) Quote: "Kashmir, region of the northwestern Indian subcontinent ... has been the subject of dispute between India and Pakistan since the partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947. The northern and western portions are administered by Pakistan and comprise three areas: Azad Kashmir, Gilgit, and Baltistan, the last two being part of a territory called the Northern Areas. Administered by India are the southern and southeastern portions, which constitute the state of Jammu and Kashmir but are slated to be split into two union territories."; (b)  (subscription required) Quote: "Aksai Chin, Chinese (Pinyin) Aksayqin, portion of the Kashmir region, at the northernmost extent of the Indian subcontinent in south-central Asia. It constitutes nearly all the territory of the Chinese-administered sector of Kashmir that is claimed by India to be part of the Ladakh area of Jammu and Kashmir state."; (c)  C. E Bosworth, University of Manchester Quote: "KASHMIR, kash'mer, the northernmost region of the Indian subcontinent, administered partlv by India, partly by Pakistan, and partly by China. The region has been the subject of a bitter dispute between India and Pakistan since they became independent in 1947"; (d) Quote: "Jammu and Kashmir: Territory in northwestern India, subject to a dispute betw een India and Pakistan. It has borders with Pakistan and China." (e) Quote: "We move from a disputed international border to a dotted line on the map that represents a military border not recognized in international law. The line of control separates the Indian and Pakistani administered areas of the former Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir."; (f)  (subscription required) Quote: "... China became active in the eastern area of Kashmir in the 1950s and has controlled the northeastern part of Ladakh (the easternmost portion of the region) since 1962."; (g)  Quote: "J&K: Jammu and Kashmir. The former princely state that is the subject of the Kashmir dispute. Besides IJK (Indian-controlled Jammu and Kashmir. The larger and more populous part of the former princely state. It has a population of slightly over 10 million, and comprises three regions: Kashmir Valley, Jammu, and Ladakh.) and AJK ('Azad" (Free) Jammu and Kashmir. The more populous part of Pakistani-controlled J&K, with a population of approximately 2.5 million. AJK has six districts: Muzaffarabad, Mirpur, Bagh, Kodi, Rawalakot, and Poonch. Its capital is the town of Muzaffarabad. AJK has its own institutions, but its political life is heavily controlled by Pakistani authorities, especially the military), it includes the sparsely populated "Northern Areas" of Gilgit and Baltistan, remote mountainous regions which are directly administered, unlike AJK, by the Pakistani central authorities, and some high-altitude uninhabitable tracts under Chinese control." (h) Quote: "Kashmir’s identity remains hotly disputed with a UN-supervised “Line of Control” still separating Pakistani-held Azad (“Free”) Kashmir from Indian-held Kashmir."; (i)  Quote:"Some politicised terms also are used to describe parts of J&K. These terms include the words 'occupied' and 'held'." With headquarters in the town of Poonch, it is bounded by the Line of Control (boundary between Indian and Pakistan administered Kashmir) on three sides (north, west and south). The 1947-48 war between India and Pakistan divided the earlier district into two parts. One went to Pakistan and the other became part of the then-Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.

Hi there! I'm CQ at Wikipedia and Wikia.

OzoneFarm is my main web domain. I am especially fond of GNU/Linux and other *nix environments.

We have an opportunity to make a difference in a lost and dying world. The chaos and confusion in our lives is caused by narrow-minded world views and treacherous behavior. To overcome this condition, we absolutely must communicate on the highest level.

The complexities of life require understanding the psychological and social costs of relationships. When we make friends, we grow emotionally and mentally. When we see eye to eye, we open a soul connection that binds us together for the duration. Agreement is the foundation and entry point for a lasting relationship.

Trust and attention to detail combine to open a dialogue and to facilitate a transactional pathway into the realm of possibility based in shared purpose and personal resolve to reach higher toward personal professional goals. Stating these goals clearly starts the process.

My goals and plans are documented here: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:CQ

Problems
This is the tip of an iceberg. We are on the ground floor of a building that goes down into the Human psyche to uncover, unravel and unearth the things that prevent us from leading happy, productive lives. The whole world is under the spell of malevolent forces that fully intend to harm us or trick us into harming ourselves. If we do not begin a positive path in our daily struggle with the powers and principalities that attempt to divert us from our objectives, we are doomed to repeat the same mistake that got us into this mess in the first place. Trust your judgement and move toward your heart's desire.

Sovereignty
By assembling ourselves into sovereign units through honest dialog and equitable transactions, we regain independence and establish viable communities. Unless we come together we will fall together into the trap that the aforementioned forces have set. They hope we will die or submit to their sadistic agenda for worldwide domination of all vital substance. The most difficult thing in the world at this time to understand is exactly how evil evil has become.

We are quite capable of self rule.

Interests and skills

Wiki Campus Radio

I'm most interested in music – modestly proficient at piano, guitar, bass and drums. (I play by heart). I like Rock, Blues, Fusion, Melodic Jazz and NeoClassical. I also have training and experience in electronics, computing and engineering and a whopping big interest in Audio Engineering and Web Radio. I wish to work with UNIT-E records. listen

See my Learning goals page!

$$\Downarrow$$ Κοινωνία: I'm what some might call a Jesus Geek but don't call me religious. If you call me religious, I'll hurt you. I'm a christian, and a custodian, each with a little c. ...You should know – I'm also interested in community...

Current focus
Wikiversity has had its share of ups and downs, but it has managed to exist for nearly a decade. I'm a Custodian here, but I'm not active because of my intermittent connection to the Internet. I don't even own a computer, and am essentially homeless.

 * "Our identities have no bodies, so, unlike you, we cannot obtain order by physical coercion. We believe that from ethics, enlightened self-interest, and the commonweal, our governance will emerge. Our identities may be distributed across many of your jurisdictions. The only law that all our constituent cultures would generally recognize is the Golden Rule. We hope we will be able to build our particular solutions on that basis. But we cannot accept the solutions you are attempting to impose." From A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace by John Perry Barlow Febrary 8, 1996

You can always look at my contributions to see exactly what I'm up to, but these are a few general topics I hover around:

 * School of Music - Using Audacity to record music and audio for things like Guitar/Lessons and Blues basics. I wanna help create a Wikiversity that can be heard Across the Wikiverse.
 * School of Media Studies - VoIP tests doing teleconferences for Wiki Campus Radio and Sandbox Server proposal.
 * School of Agriculture - I admire the Family farm and would like to see a return to common sense Agriculture for the 21st century.
 * Social Ecology - I like the outdoors and I'm a bioneer and ecologist. The picture to the right is a wooded creek near where I once lived. Just up the creek a ways is an amphitheatre and on down from that is a biodome .. with a recording studio below and a .. a cyclotron below that .. and uuuh.. Yeah, OK .. you might say I a dreamer...
 * The Singularity is the Second Coming. Duh!

My travels

 * Settlement movement - I was in New Orleans and working on some projects:
 * Bethel Colony South (Ministry)
 * I got to fly up to Northern New Jersey and Southern New York in June '08 for Bethel
 * Vieux Carre’ Baptist Church (French Quarter)
 * ThinkNOLA (St Roch Market)

 * I made a quick trip up to Vermont
 * Now, it's back to the Shire and keyline
