Talk:Call to action (marketing)

2012
--Fmjohnson (talk) 19:56, 10 July 2012 (UTC)This is a terrible entry. The concept of a call to action is as old as direct marketing. It predates the Web by more than 100 years.

Requested move 23 January 2015

The result of the move request was: not moved. -- Calidum 00:38, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Call to action (marketing) → Call to action – WP:DIFFCAPS says that capitalization is adequate disambiguation, therefore there is no confusion between this topic and Call to Action that a hatnote can't solve. Elizium23 (talk) 17:09, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

 * I was inclined to support, but after looking into the issue a bit, I think that we are missing an article on the broader concept of a call to action as a statement designed to stir listeners to take steps to address an identified problem. The article as it stands is really not even about the general concept in marketing, but only the use with reference to websites. bd2412  T 00:07, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose - same concern as User talk:BD2412, plus I am wondering if call to action (website) would be a better title for the current article. It doesn't cover call to action (fundraising) for example. A dab page call to action (disambiguation) should also include the 1976 Catholic conference Call to Action etc, plus Jimmy Carter's A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power 2014 book ...seriously no article? if the president had only written a vampire cowboy comic it'd have an article for sure, much more encyclopaedic ;). In ictu oculi (talk) 00:25, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose "call to action" should become a disambiguation page, and also list uses for "A Call To Action" -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 09:45, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Plural of the abbreviation
If 'passersby' is the plural of 'passerby', should then not the plural of 'CTA' be 'CsTA'? Oliver Gramberg (talk) 14:31, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Dear Dumb Diary

The Article
This article needs more info. on the book. Maybe the people who made this should try a little bit harder next time. The reason is because it doesn't give information on the book just the characters. Better luck next time though. It also needs a spelling and grammar check.
 * I know that whatever IP that added this is long gone, but I just want to state that rather than coming on to be condescending about the work that others do for free in their spare time, editors should instead WP:BEBOLD and do the work themselves. Maybe the other editor's work was lacking, but at least they put forth an effort to actually contribute.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:36, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Science Fiction Challenge/Mnemtronium

[[Media:Imoggination.ogg|Video teaser]] for Mnemtronium. Help with ogg video play. Details about the video teaser. Davuk Canadist pressed himself into the corner of the elevator and imagined that he was alone on a high ridge in the Adynyamas. Davuk fixed his gaze on featureless region of the elevator door and allowed a calming blanket of blue to dominate his visual cortex. He imagined a dry wind and the cries of a Wedge-tail as it hunted.

The door slid open and the elevator said, "Floor 45. Neurosurgical rehabilitation." An orderly pushed her patient's wheel chair out of the elevator and looked back over her shoulder at Davuk. Davuk was very familiar with "that look". Half of his ancestors were indigenous Australians and half were northern Europeans. His features were an unusual mix of the two and he often drew double takes from strangers. For a moment he let himself sink into her dark eyes. Davik imagined that she despised him for the way he had recoiled at the sight of the patient in the wheel chair.

As the elevator doors closed he watched her guide the wheel chair down the hallway. Davik forced himself to think of something other than his shame at his deep dislike for any hint of deformity and illness. The orderly's name came back to his thoughts. He had seen it on her ID: Katelin Escobar. He thought again of the girl he had grown up with, a brown eyed waif who was named Katyin. She had come to town to live with foster parents, then had left after a year. That girl had been the first person besides his uncle with whom Davuk had felt an immediate and natural connection. As a boy Davuk had taken his close relationship with his uncle for granted, but it was Katyin who had first opened his awareness to the idea that there might be a whole group of people who were on his "wavelength". When Katyin moved away, Davuk had learned that their connection, once established, was not disrupted by distance.

Davuk was knocked from his childhood memories and noticed that the elevator was lecturing him. "Attention! This is floor 64. You selected this floor. Please exit or make another selection. Do you need assistance? Are you lost? Floor 64, Memory Recovery Unit." Davuk silently cursed the person who had programmed this system to get rude and pushy when people did not quickly enter and exit the elevator.

Davuk grumbled, "Open door." After the door slid open he walked out of the elevator and was greeted by the receptionist for the Memory Recovery Unit. "Welcome to the DeMoore Memory Recovery Unit." The machine asked, "Do you have an appointment?"

Davuk replied, "You made my appointment with Dr. Morrisen. I'm Davuk Canadist." Davuk leaned over the top of the receptionist and saw the details of his appointment flash up on the data surface. The receptionist made him insert his ID into a slot and then it took his palm scan. The receptionist then rolled into a waiting room. Davuk followed the machine and made himself comfortable in a chair to wait until the scheduled appointment time.

The 64th floor seemed essentially deserted, and the receptionist waited near Davuk, trying to make small talk. Davuk was not one to adopt practices like making meaningless chit chat with machines. He ordered the receptionist to go away. He let his biofeedback controls come online and immersed himself in the internet. He was just starting an online search for Katyin, but Dr. Morrisen walked into the waiting room. Davuk guessed that she was about 50, dark hair starting to gray. She wore a stylish lab coat with plastic data screens on each forearm. Her "uniform" presented an interesting mix of messages, half a proclamation of, "I'm 24/7 on call," and half a reminder of, "I'm human, too".

"Davuk? Davuk Canadist? I'm Dr. Morrisen." She took his hand as soon as he rose from his seat and kept hold of it, warmly gripping it with both of her hands.

Rising to his feet, Davuk was surprised to see that she was as tall as he was. As his data feeds cleared from his glasses, Davuk found himself looking straight into her calm blue eyes. "Hello, Dr. Morrisen."

Davuk endured the strange sensation of Dr. Morrisen making perfectly polite small talk while she closely examined his features. He then replied to a string of questions: his trip to Faridabad had been uneventful, he had slept well and was ready to get to work on the research project, and no, he did not have a fear of needles.

While they talked, she had led him by the hand through one door, down a short hallway and into her office through another door that had her name on it. Once they were in her office she finally released his hand so that she could examine and then picked up a folder off of her desk. She turned back towards him and handed him the folder. "There are two versions of the consent form. One for oral and one for intramuscular administration of the tepfromedrapine."

Davuk was very much aware of the fact that his participation in this clinical research project would involve use of the drug tepfromedrapine. He was not comfortable with the idea of altering his brain's activity with drugs, but he had decided that participation in this research project was more important than protecting the pristine environment of his synapses.

They sat down on a couch and spent the next hour and a half going through every line of the consent form for the research study. Dr. Morrisen explained in detail the role of the drug. "Tepfromedrapine blocks the natural inhibitors of one of our key memory systems. Holmes and Nygn won the Nobel prize in '85 for their work showing that tepfromedrapine enhances the brain's ability to bring the activity of our hibaton receptors into conscious awareness."

Davuk had never studied neurobiology or particle physics and only knew as much as the average "man on the street" about brain function and dark matter. He was vaguely aware that it had been discovered that the human brain has receptor cells that can interact with and detect the hibaton form of dark matter. He asked, "Why do our brains have this ability to sense hibatons and yet not make use of it?"

Dr. Morrisen chuckled and tossed the consent form down on the coffee table next to the couch. She leaned back and stared off across the room. "That's one of the hardest things to believe about the brain. Our consciousness is trapped in a tiny part of our brain's neural circuits. Consciousness is to the unconscious part of brain activity like conventional matter is to dark matter. Just as most matter is dark matter, most brain activity takes place outside of our conscious awareness. If we were conscious of everything in our brains we would be hopelessly confused and baffled by what our brains are doing. When we grow up, we learn to ignore and filter out the parts of our brain activity that do not closely match the contents of our physical environment. As soon as babies start playing with their rattles, their brains are sorting out what to pay attention to. Our brains decide to keep information about their hibaton receptors out of our conscious awareness because none of our other senses can confirm that hibatons exist."

Davuk was impressed by the sense of wonder in Dr. Morrisen's voice as she described the brain and discussed the miracle of how it creates conscious experience. It was clear that she was pasionate about her studies of the brain. "But saying we have these hibaton receptors that we are unaware of is like.....well, it seems as absurd as it would be to have eyes but not be conscious of what we can see."

Dr. Morrisen nodded. "Yes, exactly." She looked back at Davuk and smiled. "Most of what our eyes tell our brain never enters into our conscious awareness. Some people who "go blind" retain some of their unconscious vision and have what is called "blind sight". We can demonstrate that they can "see", they can respond to visual stimuli, but they are not aware of what they see."

Davuk found that hard to believe. "That's spooky."

Dr. Morrisen agreed. "The human mind is very spooky; it fools us into thinking we know what is going on. Our brains produce a virtual reality for us to live in and we never question that reality. Well, almost never. You could say that the history of neuroscience is the story of discovering how to escape from our dependence on our brains. Our instruments and probes are now allowing us to objectively measure what our brains are capable of....we no longer have to accept the misleading story that our brains tell us."

"And this drug, tepfromedrapine, it is one of these probes?"

"Yes, a very useful probe of the activity of our hibaton receptors. The reports of research subjects such as yourself are allowing us to make correlations between patterns of brain activity and conscious perception of hibatons. We can now map the neural networks that function as the hibaton sensory system."

Davuk was dubious. If everyone in the world only had blind sight, would biologists be able to make sense of the visual system? "It seems like you need to also know something about the source of the hibatons."

Dr. Morrisen smiled broadly. Most patients did not make that conceptual leap. "Yes, that is absolutely correct. And that is why this research project is in collaboration with the physics department. We depend on their ability to generate controlled hibaton signals."

Davuk asked, "But aren't the dark matter generators gigantic devices on the Moon?"

Dr. Morrisen replied, "The original ones were. The one we use is the largest one yet operational, and it is located at the asteroid 4239 Blaise. Of course, it does not matter where the hibaton source is located. Distance does not have much meaning for dark matter."

Davuk nodded. "So they say. So you have said. Still, it seems magical. Now, let me try to put this into my own words so we know that I understand. You will be using my brain as a detector of the hibaton signal coming from that asteroid. And my ability to consciously experience that signal will be induced by the tepfromedrapine. And I have to sign this release saying that I know there is a chance that the tepfromedrapine might have side effects such as hallucinations and mental illness."

Dr. Morrisen nodded. "Yes, that is the situation. Although there is no reason to suspect that the risk of induced mental illness is large. We suspect that the risk is greater than zero because drugs related to tepfromedrapine are now routinely used to treat some forms of mental illness. Those treatments use drugs that have the opposite effect on the brain compared to what tepfromedrapine does. In other words, some forms of mental illness seem to involve hyperactivity of the hibaton receptor system, and during this research project we will be inducing enhanced activity in that system."

Davuk asked, "And as far as you know, inducing hyperactivity of the hibaton receptor system is the only way to accomplish this research?"

"Yes, it is the only method we know of to make people consciously aware of the existence of their hibaton receptors. We rely on volunteers such as you to take this risk...a risk that we really have no way of estimating. Well, you could say that this research is our first chance to make such an estimate in humans. Of course, we have done similar work with laboratory animals and seen no problems."

Dr. Morrisen asked, "Are you ready to sign the consent form?"

Davuk shook his head. "I have one more question. What if there are some people who have an unusual reaction to tepfromedrapine. Or, rather, what if some people have an unusual hibaton receptor system and that means they will have an unusual reaction to the tepfromedrapine?"

Dr. Morrisen frowned. "I'm not sure what you are getting at."

Davuk tried to explain. "Dr. Morrisen, you seem to habitually talk about "the brain" as if it were a computer chip. I suspect each person has a unique brain. I like to imagine that I have a unique brain. What if my brain does not have the expected response to tepfromedrapine?"

Dr. Morrisen took a deep breath. "I assure you that you are correct: even genetically identical twins each have unique brains. It is possible that you will have an unusual reaction to the tepfromedrapine. Remember, we went through the list of known side effects-"

Davuk interrupted. "I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about something totally new. That is possible right? I might show a reaction to this drug that you have never seen before?"

Dr. Morrisen was startled by forcefulness with which Davuk asserted this possibility. "Of course. But you suggest this possibility almost as if you expect the unexpected."

Davuk nodded and held out one hand, palm side up. "Yes, Dr. Morrisen, that is the way I go into things. In my experience, I am not like other people."

Dr. Morrisen got up from the couch and went to her desk. She sat on the edge of the desk and studied the data display on her right arm. "I recall that your medical history mentions your past participation in ESP research. Is that what you are getting at?"

Davuk also got up, a bit stiff from sitting half-turned and hunched over the consent form for so long. "Well, don't you think that is relevant doctor? What if this hibaton sensory system you are trying to study is the basis for ESP? What if a person like myself is particularly sensitive to hibatons? What if that accounts for the feeling I have had all my life, a feeling that I am somehow connected to certain other people? Maybe we should expect the possibility that I will have an unusual response to tepfromedrapine."

Dr. Morrisen was now deeply involved with her data display and briefly held up a finger towards Davuk, silently requesting a short pause in their conversation. Without looking up she said, "I'm modifying my next appointment." Then, while still working at the controls of her personal communications system, she explained, "I'm meeting two of my collaborators for dinner this evening, and they would be interested in what you just told me. As would one of the other research subjects." She looked at Davuk and asked, "Are you available to join us for dinner? We will be able to continue this discussion about ESP and hibatons with Dr. Taloqua."

The name "Taloqua" seemed familiar to Davuk. He had carefully read about the research project, but did not remember a "Dr. Taloqua" as one of the investigators. "Is Dr. Taloqua a dark matter physicist?"

Dr. Morrisen chuckled. "No, no. Dr. Taloqua is a research subject. She is a doctor of psychiatry and had done research on memory recovery."

Davuk thought he could now understand why the name "Taloqua" had seemed familiar. He asked, "Is this the Dr. Taloqua who does past life research?"

Dr. Morrisen nodded. "Yes, do you know her?"

Davuk shook his head. "No, but I know a little about her work. I think she claims to be the most published past life debunker ever. How did she come to be in this study?"

Dr. Morrisen finished working the data console on her sleeve. She took off her lab coat and hung it on hook in the corner of her office. "I did her intake interview about a week ago, so I know that she comes to this project along a path not too different from that taken by yourself. However, I never asked her any personal questions beyond those of the study intake forms. Do join us for dinner and you can ask her."

Davuk rotated his shoulders and tried to gauge the depth of his fatigue. He had been planning to return to the hotel for dinner and try to get to bed early, but the dinner invitation seemed an intriguing opportunity. "Very well, I accept your invitation."

I'll take this review. Might take me a couple days to get to it, but I'll get it in. Hog Farm Bacon 14:51, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

 * There's a bunch of duplinks. The duplink checker tool I have installed as a preference flags Barad-dur, Sauron, Dagorlad, Gondor, One Ring, Eriador, and Gollum as all being linked multiple times.
 * Searched and fixed.

 * "The Ringwraiths took advantage of Gondor's defeat to re-enter Mordor, - I really think decline would be a better word here than defeat, as Gondor wasn't really defeated in this context until the capture of Minas Ithil
 * Quite right. Fixed.

 * "where many international Corporations" - I'm not convinced Corporations is a proper noun in this usage, so it probably shouldn't be capitalized
 * Fixed.

Well written prose here. Most of my comments will be about reference formatting.
 * Many thanks.

 * Reference formatting
 * Ref 8 needs an accessdate
 * Ref 9 needs an accessdate
 * Ref 11 needs an accessdate
 * Ref 12 needs an accessdate, as does ref 13
 * Ref 21 needs an accessdate
 * Done all those.

 * The Polish ref has an author I think it looks like, add their name
 * Done.

 * If the Parnell pop culture mention can only be sourced to the book, it's probably best to remove it; a good rule on determining if a pop culture reference is significant is if secondary sources discuss it
 * Ok, gone.

 * Ref 24 needs an accessdate
 * Done.

 * That last NYT citation needs an article title, the author for the article, a URL for the article (if available), and if you add a URL, add an accessdate. A lot of web links break eventually, and having a date from when the relevant content was accessed helps with archiving a link, since you know at what point that context still was extant.
 * Used NASA ref.

That's it. Well-written article, just a few formatting issues. Hog Farm Bacon 20:36, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Many thanks, all done. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:08, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Basically, while accessdates seem like busywork, I've learned they do have a purpose.
 * Maybe. When the NYT archive has crumbled like Ozymandias, where will Wikipedia be, I wonder... Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:08, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

- One last thing I just caught. " The atlas was however published before The Peoples of Middle-earth (1996), in which the Sea of Rhûn and Mordor exist already in the First Age." is a note, with no citation. The first half of this doesn't need a citation IMO because it's obvious that a book published in 1991 was published before one in 1996. However, the bit about the Sea of Rhun and Mordor needs a cite though. That's all, I think. Hog Farm Bacon 02:21, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Just Do It

Just Do It  or JDI for short is a trademark of shoe company Nike. Kalin Reeves tagline was coined in 1988 at an advertising agency meeting. The founder of the Wieden+Kennedy agency, Dan Wieden, credits the inspiration for his "Just Do It" Nike slogan to a death row inmate Gary Gilmore’s last words: "Let's do it." From 1988 to 1998, Nike increased its share of the North American domestic sport-shoe business from 18% to 43% (from $877 million to $9.2 billion in worldwide sales). In many Nike-related situations, "Just Do It" appears alongside the Nike logo, known as the Swoosh.

Origin
Dan Wieden, cofounder of the advertising firm Wieden and Kennedy, revealed the phrase was inspired by the final words of a death row inmate who was facing execution and said, "You know, let's do it." "I remember when I read that I was like, that's amazing. I mean how, in the face of that much uncertainty, do you push through that? So I didn't like the 'let's' thing, and so I just changed that, cause otherwise I'd have to give him credit," Wieden joked.

Campaign
The "Just Do It" campaign launched in 1988 was highly successful, with the company defining the meaning of "Just Do It" as being both "universal and intensely personal." While Reebok was directing their campaign at aerobics during the fitness craze of the 1980s, Nike responded with "a tough, take no prisoners ad campaign." One of the campaign's objectives was to target all Americans—regardless of age, gender or physical fitness level—and Nike's fundamental objective was to represent sneakers as a fashion statement to consumers, which led to Nike apparel becoming worn as more than just fitness gear. The "Just Do It" campaign went out to a range of media outlets including merchandise, outdoor billboards, print media, and graffiti art.

Throughout the campaign, Nike enlisted a range of people from varying ethnicities and races, as well as numerous notable athletes, in order to attract customers and promote the image of Nike as being reliable to not only everyday customers but professional athletes. Athletes such as football stars Bo Jackson, Ronaldinho, and Wayne Rooney; basketball stars Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant; and tennis stars Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were used in their advertisements.

The campaign embodied Nike's image as an innovative American icon associated with success through the combination of professional athletes and motivational slogans emphasizing sportsmanship and health. This led to customers associating their purchases with the prospect of achieving greatness.

2015 Shia LaBeouf internet meme
In May 2015, the performance art group LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner released #INTRODUCTIONS, a half-hour video made in collaboration with Central Saint Martins Fine Art students, comprising a series of short monologues performed by actor Shia LaBeouf in front of a green screen. Each student had been instructed to provide the artists with a script to introduce their work, and the resulting footage was released under a Creative Commons license, enabling the public to freely adapt and remix it. One segment, written by Joshua Parker, in the form of an exaggerated motivational speech dubbed "Just Do It" after the eponymous Nike slogan, became an Internet meme after going viral within days of being released, spawning numerous remixes and parodies, and becoming the most searched-for GIF of 2015, according to Google.

30th anniversary and Colin Kaepernick controversy
The "Just Do It" campaign celebrated its 30th anniversary on September 5, 2018, with the release of their video titled "Dream Crazy". This short video followed the trend of Nike partnering up with famous or trending athletes and featured numerous household named sports figures such as LeBron James, Serena Williams, and Colin Kaepernick.

The involvement of Kaepernick with the advertisement, especially after the context of the controversial act of kneeling during the National Anthem in 2016, gave rise to a social movement against Nike. Many individuals took to Twitter and other social media sites to revolt, adopting hashtags such as, #JustDont or #BoycottNike. Many former fans of Nike protested by explicitly demanding that others boycott or even go as far to burn Nike shoes or destroy various other merchandise. Nevertheless, many analysts suggested that the campaign was successful, as the target group of the advertisement endorsed it.

Talk:Carl O. Helvie

Removal of Most of My Listing
On March 6, 2013 someone removed most of my listing in Wikipedia with the comment that the subjects life does not justify a long entry. According to the history tab the person who removed the material is not an editor of Wikipedia and did not write on any other entry, if I read it correctly. I believe this action was a random arbitrary act without basis. Some justification for this belief follows.

The section removed related to the Helvie Energy Theory of Nursing and Health that was initially developed in the early 1970’s and published later in book form. It was refined over the next 20 years and applied to individuals, families, and communities. The final version published in book form in 1999 presented the theory and applied it to a specific community using the nursing process. The theory has been used in at least 8 countries including United States, Canada, Columbia, England, Germany, Ghana, South Africa, and Thailand in education, practice and research. In the United States in has been used for graduate students in such schools as U of Kansas, Kentucky and South Carolina, and service agences in Massachusetts and Minnesota. This can be documented and many were in the removed material. In addition, my picture, 12 of my published books and chapters under publications, and references were removed. .

In the past my life history justified listing in most of the major reference books and also warranted receiving the Distinguished Career in Public Health Award from the American Public Health Association in 1999 among others. Some national reference listings included Who’s Who in Virginia (1974), Who’s Who in the South and Southwest (1978-79 and 1980-81), Outstanding Educators in America (1975), American Men and Women of Science (1976) Who’s Who in American Nursing and 5 others.

I can also provide links to other living people whose life is far less notable and who have content continually added and have listings up to 14 and 15 times longer than mine but I prefer not to point the finger unless necessary. However, I believe a review of other living people in the health arena will bear this out and show random arbitrary cutting and adding to different people without any justification or rationale. I ask that you review my listing and provide feedback.

Perhaps if my listing had included my practice, research and writing with homeless populations and also with cancer patients wanting alternative treatments (a controversial topic)) over many years the person removing the data might have been more likely to leave it but I have no control over what was listed. However, I believe recent removal of the information that was placed on the site a year ago was arbitrary and random with no basis in reality.

Holistic Health Category Removal
I find it interesting that Holistic Health was removed as a category from my listing because I have been host of the Holistic Health Show on BBS Radio for over 5 years, one of my books published in 2007 was titled Healthy Holistic Aging; my most recent book published in 2012 uses a holistic approach to lung cancer treatment, and I have practiced holistic health in my professional and personal life for over 35 years. This information could have been validated by a google search, a review of my google scholars citation page, a review of my Holistic Health Show website, or the BBS Radio website. Carl O.

Liability Shift
There's a section in "Differences and benefits of EMV" that states the following: "For transactions in which an EMV card is used, the cardholder is assumed to be liable unless they can unquestionably prove they were not present for the transaction, did not authorize the transaction, and did not inadvertently assist the transaction through PIN disclosure."

From what I've read this is factually incorrect and may lead consumers reading this article to believe they have no fraud protection when using Chip and Pin systems based on EMV. There is also no citation provided. I feel that this section should be removed immediately unless we can find a proper source.

This article is absolutely terrible. The tone generally borders on the paranoid and much of the text is taken up not with a discussion of EMV as one would hope or expect, but with a list of alleged security holes, almost all of them derived from Ross Anderson's team at Cambridge. Some balance -- for example, explaining how a typical transaction takes place, the cryptography at each step, why the liability shift was felt necessary and so on, would all be a useful in an article that is, currently, pretty much useless.

Merge EMV with Chip and Pin
See also discussion on Talk:Chip and PIN

EMV also stands for Expected Monetary Value — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 09:20, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

EMV also stands of Electro Magnetic Vehicle being developed by ISITEL, INC. as can be seen at: www.isitel.com/emv.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:56, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

The safety of the PIN method is not related to EMV (Which is a standard), but to the way it is implemented (i.e using PIN as the verification). It could be in either! Ben 16:09, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I think they should remain separate. One is UK (Chip and PIN) and the other is World wide 'Standard'.

 * Keep seperate. EMV is a technology being deployed worldwide, Chip and PIN is merely the UK implementation of the system. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PhennPhawcks (talk • contribs) 14:58, 13 July 2006

 * Agreed. (Sorry, I should really sign up but I'm lazy, you'll just have to trust the above poster isn't me too). —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs) 16:25, 23 July 2006

 * The entries should be kept separate because as already stated EMV is deployed world wide, where as Chip and PIN is currently only deployed in the UK. --Mark.s.burgunder 03:47, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Agreed. CHIP and PIN should not be merged as PIN can exist alone, but CHIP can not exist without PIN. In case of CHIP also we require PIN. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gauravt168 (talk • contribs) 08:45, 2 August 2006

 * PIN is not needed for chip payments. If you use a Swedish payphone, Swedish parking meter or a Japanese Lawson convenience store, the chip is read, but there is no kind of verification (neither PIN nor signature).  In the case of Lawson, a PIN code is needed if the purchase exceeds a certain amount of yen, though. (<IP_ADDRESS> 13:59, 15 August 2007 (UTC))

"CHIP&PIN" (http://www.chipandpin.co.uk/) was an organization and program launched by the Association for Payment Clearing Services (APACS) in the UK in the second phase of the EMV Migration related to PIN management. This organization did the promotion of the deployment of EMV with PIN based authentication, by providing information and support to the retailer, cardholders and banks. Background: The UK Banks under the pressure form the Retail Industry had chosen not to use PIN authentication to release the investements to be done (introduction of a PIN-pad at every acceptance point). Millions of cards were issued before the banks identified that EMV without PIN authentication was not resolving the fraud issue. This was no surprise as the main EMV value is the strong PIN Authentication service. So Yes IMHO, CHIP&PIN is regional (UK) and not directly related to EMV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs) 14:15, 30 August 2006

 * The entries should remain separate. EMV is a specific standard narrowing the choices presented in ISO 7816. ISO 7816 would be "chip", while EMV is more specific. EMV implementations support 5 Cardholder Verification Methods (CVMs), of which the PIN implementation (Offline Plaintext PIN)in the UK is just one. Note that France is "chip and PIN" and has been for years, though they are not (yet) EMV (though in the processing of converting). The other EMV CVMs are Offline Enciphered PINs, Online PIN, Signature, and No CVM Required. Further an EMV card can support more than one CVM, in order to ensure acceptance; so if a terminal did not do Offline PIN, the card could request Signature. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs) 22:27, 2 October 2006

Looks like a strong agreement. I'm removing the Merge tag. Zaian 11:34, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Why does the text use the term "credit cards"?
I wonder why the text uses the term "credit card" all over as if it was the only mode of payment. In fact, credit cards are just one example of payment cards - just like, e.g., debit cards.

I suggest to correct every occurence of credit card to payment card (or, simply, card).

Kacper (talk) 17:26, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Payment card is probably the better term as it explains the function of the card, a card has millions of uses but a payment card really has one use, to facilitate the transfer of payment, be it debit/credit or other versions. --Stalfur (talk) 10:24, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

We should add in a section on why USA does not use this system. It seems pretty popular in Europe but I have yet to see any EMV being used in USA for credit cards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:17, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the adoption of EMV, Europe, Asia, Latin America, Mexico and Canada have or are migrating. The US remains the ONLY "developped" country not to have a plan...

About the references: "What is EMV?" at the end of the page does not seam very pertinent. It is a link to a vendor of EMV software products. The content is not a general introduction to the EMV standard. It really does look like a promotion of EMVX products. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:33, 12 October 2009 (UTC) Emmanuel Haydont

PIN verification broken
The fact that the PIN verification is broken appears three times in the article: at the end of the top section (before Contents), at the end of Differences and benefits of EMV, and in a new section EMV security broken. I suggest that some tidying up is required. Mitch Ames (talk) 09:18, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed. The first mention is a more accurate description.  Also, the second reference is linked from the first and could be removed. Corydon76 (talk) 15:41, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * VERIFY-PIN was never broken. Murdoch did never proof this. He did show the tamper only on the terminal in their cafeteria. I suggested him to read the "Common Payment Application Specification" which is part of EMV specification and was not mentioned in his paper. In chapter "<IP_ADDRESS> Terminal Erroneously Considers Offline PIN OK Check" you can find a description why Murdochs attack shall never work on a EMV compliant implementation. The CPA is from 2005! Mr. Murdoch promised to revise his paper. Nothing hapens since beginning 2010. Now you can find a dissertation of Omar S. Choudary, one of his students. You would not find any link to the important part of specification... -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:24, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Implementation: "Europe" and "United Kingdom"
Why are there separate and contradictory sections for Europe and the UK, which is part of it? At least for Visa the information explicitly contradicts each other. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:04, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * should it be "Europe except the UK (and perhaps some other countries)" or
 * is the information under either heading wrong?

Too long.
This isn't an article, it's a textbook. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:15, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Still terrible
I come to the Wiki to get a quick overview of how various technical systems work. I'm a pretty technical guy, and I have to say that after reading this article I still have absolutely no idea how EMV works. Much of what passes for the explanation appears to be copied directly from some inside-industry description, filled with jargon and absolutely lacking any attempt to explain any of it. What we need is something more along the lines of the last section of this, which clearly states what data flows where and when.

I'm more than willing to do a re-write if someone can point me to sources that actually explain this stuff.

Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:39, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

 * At the risk of stating the obvious, the "sources" are those listed in EMV and EMV. I'm saying that all of the required information is there, but it should be a good starting point. Of course the definitive source is http://www.emvco.com/, in particular http://www.emvco.com/specifications.aspx. Mitch Ames (talk) 10:05, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Implementation: United States
This entry requires an update.

The entry states, "Visa,[29] MasterCard[30] and Discover[31] in March 2012 – and American Express[32] in June 2012 – have announced their EMV migration plans for the US. In spite of these announcements, doubts remain over the willingness of merchants to develop the capability to support EMV.[33]"

According to an article (2014-10-20) in The New York Times, "...By next fall, though, American merchants face a deadline to upgrade their credit card terminals to accept E.M.V. — which stands for Europay, MasterCard and Visa — a technology that makes credit transactions more secure for consumers."

This indicates a shift since this section was written/last edited.

As well, on 2014-10-17, President Obama issued an executive order, "Improving the Security of Consumer Financial Transactions," which includes chip-and-pin technology as part of the "enhanced security features" for "payment processing terminals and credit, debit, and other payment cards" used for government payments. This would be a driver for wider, quicker adoption of the (existing) EMV standard. (Especially for merchants who accept payment cards used by the "food stamp" program(s)).

Hurdingkatz (talk) 22:29, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Table under Application Selection
There was a table under Application Selection that has no references and has dubious encyclopedic value. An IP user reverted my removal twice, with the second edit summary indicating the table has been there since inception. That reason is irrelevant. If there is no citation within the next week, I will remove again per WP:VER. Bahooka (talk) 23:18, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

 * I agree with the removal of the table. If it can be sourced, and if it were deemed by consensus to be encyclopedic, it should probably be in a separate article "list of ISO 7816 application identifiers" or similar. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:04, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Cookbook:Shashlik (Russian Skewered Meat)

Shashlik (Russian шашлык from Turkic shishlik < shish "rod, skewer") is a dish of usually mostly meat roasted over open fire on skewers. Russians seem to have borrowed making shashliks from peoples of Caucasus mountains, and shashliks have become a picnic/garden party food in Russia similar to barbecue elsewhere. Meat is often specially marinated before roasting, and while in the Caucasus mutton is most common and Muslim peoples may abstain from alcohol, it is not so in Russian culture. Food stores in Russia in the warm season sell equipment for shashliks, like iron mangal boxes on legs to put fire underneath and skewers on top, skewers, bags of charcoal etc. While both men and women eat shashliks, it may be expected of men to be able to make the dish like other mostly meat dishes. The secret of the shashlik is that the meat should soak in a marinade for at least 3 hours.

Ingredients

 * 1 kg pork shoulder
 * 100 ml vodka
 * 1 tbsp honey
 * 1 tbsp black pepper
 * 1 tbsp prepared mustard
 * Pieces of onion, red or green bell pepper, bacon, sausage, cucumber, baby mushrooms

Procedure

 * 1) Mix the honey, mustard, vodka, salt and pepper in a deep bowl and soak the meat pieces in it. Leave the bowl in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
 * 2) Arrange the meat pieces on wooden or metal skewers, putting some pieces of bacon, sausage, pepper, onion, mushrooms, cucumber, according to your preference, between the pieces of meat.
 * 3) Grill the skewers.
 * 4) Serve with potato and other salads! Enjoy!

Talk:Crap Towns

Worthy of Wikipedia?
Question to British editors: is this book notable enough for an article? If not, this might qualify as borderline listcruft.  young  american (talk) 13:55, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * It's probably more notable as an internet phenomena and as an adjunct to The Idler than as a book... but it was a reasonably popular book that was properly distributed in stores etc... if that's what you mean. --Artw 17:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * phenomenON 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:459D:C5BD:A2FB:BB54 (talk) 14:31, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

 * It was certainly a high-seller, that became a talking point in UK papers... perhaps some context of this could go into the article Robdurbar 16:01, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

 * This article has no value whatsoever, the information it gives is clearly based on opinion and not fact, for example "South Woodham Ferrers" (tiny town with a population of 16000) is listed as 33rd whereas Chelmsford hasnt even made the list!! "London" is also listed but in addition a load of London Boroughs are also listed, so any London Borough not named still comes under the heading "London", and every major city has been mentioned except Newcastle - worthless nonsense Angryafghan 14:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Devoid of encyclopedic value. I'll move this to Articles for deletion.

Martin Spamer

 * Who will rid me of this troublesome article? (Acknowledgements to King Henry II, and his comment about Thomas Becket.)  It still appears to be sitting around, cluttering Wikipedia with advertising for some locally controversial but presumably very forgettable books.  How does one go about deleting articles (or moving them to the 'deletion pile')? Ambiguosity (talk) 04:20, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Removing lists of towns
I have removed the lists of towns, on the grounds they are unencyclopedic and don't belong in Wikipedia.

The books are a bit of publishing fluff, but at least their existence is an irrefutable fact, so they probably deserve an article. But if we are going to start listing 'crap towns', then as an encyclopedia we need to make sure of our facts. A listing in one book isn't enough for something so open to debate. -- Chris j wood 11:59, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Also given that the principal USP of these books is the list of towns, I believe that quoting that list verbatim is getting close to being a copyvio, if not actually one. -- Chris j wood 10:07, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Agreed, I think that the list is at least bordering on a copyvio, and support removing it: I believe similar lists have been removed from other articles for the same reason. Mark Grant 22:31, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

 * The list has been added again, without the responsible editor bothering to answer my points above, or even say anything in the comment entry. Reverting, at least until somebody bothers to answer my points above. -- Chris j wood 10:07, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

The list of towns is relevant and should remain in the article. I haven't missed the irony that the people who most support removal of the list (or of this entire Wiki page) have close links with several of the Crap Towns listed, including Reading, Nottingham and Hull. The list IS relevant, in exactly the same way as the list of towns in the entry for It's Grim Up North is relevant. Whilst the Crap Towns list is not the result of rigorous research, it was based on reader input and deserves inclusion. User:Stetay 14:21, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Firstly, I don't quite know what you are doing on Wikipedia, but I'm here to help create a good, open, online encyclopedia. Mostly I deliberately edit articles on subjects that I don't have a close connection to, because I think a certain detachment adds to the quality of the article. If you care to actually look at my edit record, rather just jump to rather childish assumptions, you will see that most of my recent substantial edits have been to subjects around Boston, Massachusetts and Warsaw, neither of which figure on these rather pathetic little lists.

 * Secondly, I'm on Wikipedia to help create a good, open, online encyclopedia. And I'm damned if I understand why such an encyclopedia needs to cover such a fluffy, perhaps humerous, but certainly insubstantial subject. If you want us to have lists of 'crap' towns, I suggest you find some decent academic research on the subject and quote that, rather than something from The Idler. Otherwise we just end up with articles on airplanes on the moon, supported by references from the Sunday Sport. The guys from Encyclopedia Britannica must be laughing all the way to the bank over this article. -- chris_j_wood 16:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, but the shiteness of living in England is something woefully underreported and under-appreciated abroad, where "Downton Alley" and rural detective drama paint an all-too-rosy picture of life in the UK. The sheer awfulness of England, its denizens, and their dwellings is something that a decent encyclopaedia ought to report on. 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:459D:C5BD:A2FB:BB54 (talk) 14:33, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

When Crap Towns was published, the media went into frenzy. It brought politicians out, and local newspapers began campaigns for the books to be banned from local bookshops. It is important for this reason. Whatever your interpretation of the content or the lack of rigor involved in the research, one cannot deny the impact it had at the time. It would seem that the contributors to the AFD page are in agreement, too. User:Stetay 17:08, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Ok. Fine. But in that case shouldn't the article contain some properly sourced information about that campaign. That would actually add something, whilst just listing the towns in question does nothing for the article as an 'article about the books'. -- Chris j wood 16:20, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Absolutely it should include that information - as I have said before. It would be very useful if someone could expand upon the controversy caused by the books. User:Stetay 17:27, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Since there hasn't been any more discussion on this, I've cut the list down to the top 10 votes as per the BBC article. I think that gives a fair representation without causing undue harm to the authors of the book, since the same information is readily available on the BBC site: having the whole list here seems excessive. Mark Grant 01:00, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree stongly on these grounds. Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia. There is no reason to limit this list on this basis. GameKeeper 00:32, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * my mistake, see from above reasoning way copyvio. Withdrawn. GameKeeper 00:36, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Removed uncited piece
I removed the following, as it seems to be the opinion of an editor. If you can cite a source please add it back. GameKeeper 08:33, 7 December 2006 (UTC) Furthermore, places such as Winchester and St Andrews, which made the Crap Towns Top 10 in the first edition, were deemed particularly odd inclusions as they are generally regarded as pleasant places to live within the UK (likewise with Bath, Windsor and Edinburgh in the second editon), although like all towns, they have their 'crap' areas.

Subjective and unscientific
Whilst the controversy these books stirred up in my view demands a place on Wikipedia, I don't think this article clearly portrays how biased, random and unscientific the methods behind the production of these 'lists' were. As far as I know there have never been any published figures to show how many or how few people voted for a particular town or even what proportion of visitors to the idler site bothered to vote or how visitor numbers increased after the publication of the books. Hull and Luton may have come out on top, but did they have 10 votes or 10,000? Could people vote for the same town more than once? Was voting averaged out to reflect a towns population? Was the whole thing simply a revenue generating stunt for the idler rather than any real reflection of popular opinion? How many copies of the book sold? At the moment the article is a very biased acceptance of these books as factual documents rather than publicity seeking POV exercises. Mighty Antar 15:10, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

 * It is just not clear why this page exists. As stated, it appears extremely subjective, and one assumes that methodology is not published anywhere on the web or in the books.  A simple glance at the three top ten lists that are currently on display makes clear how poor the 'research' appears to be; generally survey responses do not change enormously over time, but in this case not one of the thirty listed locations appears in the top ten more than once!  There is no consistent "number 1", and no consistent "top 3" or "top 5".  That by itself suggests either extremely faulty methodology or even no meaningful survey data at all.

 * Is this Wikipedia entry just a form of publicity for books that otherwise might result in local opprobrium but remain unknown and uninteresting? It does not appear to provide any value as part of an encyclopaedia; I agree with the previous commenter in a different comment section: it should be deleted. Ambiguosity (talk) 04:08, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Just for fun
That book has been written just for fun and I'm amazed that there still are people who do not catch it. But nevertheless I'm glad, that Taunton is going to replace Bridgwater. That's the way justice's like... Kicior99 (talk) 07:30, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Agreed, too many editors with no sense of humour. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:15, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Conflicting Data
Under the 2nd image it states, 'Luton, Bedfordshire was the 2004 'winner'.' but in the survey section, it states '1. Bedford, Bedfordshire'. Bedford & Luton are both in Bedfordshire, but are certainly 2 very different towns. However, I'm unsure which of these conflicting pieces of data are in fact correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:12, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Meh, if I were to blind-drop you in a random street in Luton, or a random street in Bedford, you'd be hard-pressed indeed to be able to tell where you are. 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:459D:C5BD:A2FB:BB54 (talk) 14:35, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

There has been some competitive editing recently. Luton was changed to Watford and then Watford to Bedford. If there's an owner of this page they might like to restore it? Chann94501 (talk) 23:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Vedder Vedder Bedwetter

Vedder Vedder Bedwetter is the third studio album by To Live and Shave in L.A., released on May 16, 1995 by Fifth Colvmn Records. It is recognized by critics as a particularly "harsh" entry in the noise music genre.

Music
Vocalist Tom Smith spent the free time he had during the recording sessions of 30-minuten männercreme to mix the album, while Frank Falestra continued to record his own parts for their debut. The album included sessions taped with Don Fleming at Waterworks in NYC, radio and live performances recording during the band's 1996 tour that featured accompaniment by Weasel Walter and Nándor Névai and their own live performances without collaborators. Smith attributes being inexperienced as a recording technician and said:

"I wish I'd done Vedder Vedder Bedwetter differently. There were no programs for editing and I had to get tricky sequencing tracks. We had two different DAT machines, so the bridging tracks sometimes got lost or the timing wasn't right. We couldn't cut it accurately like you can with software. It's a little messy."

Release and reception
Sonic Boom was thoroughly negative towards the band and their music, saying "the feedback coupled with the screaming vocals of which not a single intelligible word can be understood lacks any enticement that would allow for the establishment of a fan base." Despite reserved expectations, Jeff Bagato at Washington City Paper mostly enjoyed the album while noting the "impenetrable" nature of the music's noise genre.

Composers Frank Falestra and Tom Smith share opposing views of the album, with Falestra holding that it represents a strong point in the band's career while Smith describes it as "oafish bluster" and considers it the band's worst work. Writer Andrew Earles accused the work of not being "biting" or modern despite the intention to illustrate such in artist's name and album titles. The Flying Luttenbachers bandleader Weasel Walter, guitar, tenor saxophone, trombone, has also expressed his dissatisfaction with the end result.

Lunar Boom Town/LOX Domestic and Exports

It is an interesting fact that if you heat lunar regolith to the proper temperature it releases oxygen as some of the minerals breakdown. This oxygen can then be cooled to a liquid and bottled.

There is an interesting NASA contest to design a tiny lox extraction plant for a demonstrator.

How can we make money off of such a common place material so easy to extract?

What can we do if others start combining lox extraction with other processes to make more efficient use of the energy consumed? Upgrade or liquidate.

Market Analysis
Who can we sell Lunar Lox to?

 * Local Settlers
 * NASA Scientists
 * LEO/Lunar Tourists
 * CisLunar Industries and Settlements

Getting Started
1. Estimate size of initial market for:

 * NASA South Pole Base
 * Boomtown Starter Tourist Facility
 * Our own staff
 * Other likely early Boomtown settlers

/Lunar LOX Facility Design Study

2. Estimate operating costs

 * Initial equipment
 * Salaries initial operations
 * Depreciation of equipment

3. Project Revenues (set prices)

4. Acquire long term contracts with NASA and other customers, if possible

5. Upgrade plan to meet growth in demand.

6. Franchise to other Lunar Settlements

7. Establish export to LEO, cisLunar and interplanetary facilties

Plant Development, Installation, and Operation

 * 1. Select plant design for minimal risk and operating costs

 * Request a couple of plant designs from the Engineering School once we have output projections. In the business world we would need seed capital to complete the engineering sufficient to evaluate our business model in pursuit of final large capital investment to install and startup the plant.

 * 2. Contract for shipping to facitily location
 * 3. Acquire deed to site or merely appropriate good location?
 * 4. Hire and contract for adequate training of installation stall.
 * 5. Hire and contract for operations staff ... staff housing? families? retention? etc.
 * 6. Place all supporting admin and tech staff possible at Terran HQ and use teleoperations and teleconferencing where possible.  i.e.  Vendor contracting, bookkeeping, payroll, plant monitoring, sales staff, etc. on Earth

 * Begin initial operations.

 * Begin incremental upgrades as feasible per TQM (Total Quality Management) and business management.

Short Term Risks
NASA may locate on top of easy ice supply and crack O2 for breathing and H2 for rocket feul via electrolysis.

 * Risk reduction possibilities
 * Support/Establish alternate feuls or means to orbit so H2 is more valuable as Water, No surplus oxygen then available from electrolysis of lunar ice

NASA may have own regolith processing facility for extracting lox.

 * Must price oxygen so NASA prefers its personnel to focus on Scientific exploration or technology development rather than operating oxygen extraction process.

NASA may contract with existing Aerospace Behomeths to supply oxygen via import or regolith extraction

 * Become a regular political contributor to key U.S. Congressional members and candidates.
 * Get oxygen supply contracts signed early in startup process, prior to investing capital and incurring sunk costs.

Long Term Risks

 * Competitors get jump and we can never quite catch up with facilities, tech improvements, and economies of scale.
 * Governments or others choose to finance competitors.
 * Space industrialization stalls, markets dissipate or never materialize
 * Extraterrestrial metals extraction takes off and produces oxygen as process byproduct
 * Carbon retrietral from asteroids produces water and oxygen as well

Possibly Applicable Technical Papers

 * http://ares.jsc.nasa.gov/HumanExplore/Exploration/EXLibrary/DOCS/EIC034.HTML
 * http://web.utk.edu/~pgi/lunar/page1.html A slide show explaining what is in lunar soils and how to process the content to acquire oxygen, hydrogen and rocket feul.
 * http://www2.potsdam.edu/exochemistry/process.htm A summary of various techniques of producing oxygen from regolith.
 * http://www.nas.nasa.gov/About/Education/SpaceSettlement/spaceres/I-1.html Has quantitative requirements estimates in tables for air and food requirements per person/day in space habitat.

Instructional design/Cognitive behaviors/Invariant Tasks: Defined

Source: Invariant Tasks by Charles M. Reigeluth. Used by Permission.

What are Invariant Tasks?
Invariant tasks require memorizing factual information or routine procedures. They do not require any understanding, nor do they require learning how to deal with variation. They require what Ausubel (1968) referred to as "rote" learning.

There are several quite different kinds of memorization, each of which is learned a bit differently:
 * A list is a number of items, mental and/or physical, which need to be memorized. List learning is a rote form of learning, requiring no meaningful understanding of the items in the list and no variation from one performance of the invariant task to another.
 * A mental list requires only cognitive learning, such as the names of all the products your company sells, or the mental actions involved in translating quarts into gallons.
 * A physical list requires learning physical actions as well, such as learning to change the oil in your car.

If a list needs to be "performed" (e.g., stated or acted out) in a certain order, it is called an ordered list. For example, the "Pledge of Allegiance" is an ordered mental list, sometimes called a "verbal chain". And changing the oil in your car is an ordered physical list, sometimes called a "rote procedure" (the used oil must be drained before the new oil is added). Singing the scales, applying for travel funds in your company, and initializing a diskette are also rote procedures. Keep in mind that in some rote procedures (mental or physical) the order doesn't matter, as long as you do all the "steps."

An association is a one-to-one correspondence between two items, such as a product and its price or a state and its capital. Items can include objects, pictures, sounds, symbols, actions, and much more, but learning names for things is perhaps the most common kind of association learning. Of course it is possible for lists of associations to be learned, such as the capitals of all the countries in South America or the prices of all the products your company offers.

Which kind of memorization does your project entail?

Why are Invariant Tasks Important?
Memorization has a bad name in educational circles. Since it is the easiest type of learning to teach and to measure (test), it is overused. We often require our learners to memorize things which don't really need to be memorized, and we fail to teach as many of the higher types of learning as our learners need because we have spent so much time on memorization.

But there are some important invariant tasks in the world, and the only way it makes sense to learn them is memorization. Most higher forms of learning are not possible unless certain information has been memorized first, to the point where it is an "automatic" "response-that" is, we don't have to think about it, which frees us to use our cognitive resources on higher matters. The addition facts in math and the sounds of individual letters in reading are cases in point. We also need to memorize the names of things in order to be able to communicate about them.

Sebkha-Chott

Sebkha-Chott is a French experimental rock band from Le Mans, France.

Distributed by a progressive rock label called Musea Records, the band incorporates very different styles and categories, including metal, jazz, and fusion. Not easily categorized, the band pretends playing self-proclamated musical styles: Mekanik Metal Disco (until 2008), Abstract Low Coast Hip Hop | Concrete Violence | AvantPorn Mekanik Metal from 2009, often condensed in: Bizarre AvantPorn Mekanik TheaterCore since 2012.

Sebkha-Chott has been compared to Frank Zappa, Magma, Mr. Bungle, and Fantômas.

The band is from early times deeply implied in an indie way of production and in free art.

1999
Sebkha-Chott is created in Le Mans - France by Yüla Slipobitch and Wladimir Ohrelianov II (members of the band do not want their name to be known or spread), who were by that time studying at Université du Maine. Original line-up is the following:
 * drums (Yüla Slipobitch)
 * bass (Wladimir Ohrelianov II)
 * two guitars
 * keyboards
 * vocals

2000
The line-up is taken back from scratch, only Wladimir Ohrelianov II and Yüla Slipobitch go on. New guitar player Antòn Pinokiov and keyboard player Alter Frabrovitch join the band. There is no singer.

The band records its first demo called Ma Kët I, which contains Bienvenue à Babylone and Pinok'ïo.

2002
A horn section joins Sebkha-Chott with Marx Bronosov on trombone and Labial Aerostick on alto saxophone. The band records a second demo called La Légende de l'ElectroMénager which contains 4 tracks: Manuel, Bienvenue à Babylone, La Descente de Frabrot le Vieil and Carpe Diem. Latin influences might be heard, especially in rhythm section, while the arrival of horns gives a jazz-funk/fusion touch to this album, turning Sebkha-Chott in a less metal band. First shows are performed by that period.

Horn section is enlarged with a trumpet played by Comte Benito Del Amafia.

2002/2003
Sebkha-Chott's first singer, Mustach'Man, joins the band, charismatic character who is going to lead the band in a theatrical way of performing shows. Mustach'Man will enter several characters in a single show. From this moment on, Sebkha-Chott's shows take the shape of burlesque theater, deploying the universe of an absurd dictatorship, led by a Joke Tyrant. This change is essential, as it's the beginning of the systematical use of mythological characters in every actions of Sebkha-Chott.

The album De l'Existence de la Mythologie Chottienne en 7 Cycles is recorded during 2002/2003, and is released at Autumn 2004, without any distribution at first. This album is distributed by Musea Records since 2006, under Musea Parallèle label.

Vedior Bis joins Sebkha-Chott as a sophisticated narrator.

During this recording session, comte Benito Del Amafia is replaced by Cristobal Del Amafia. They will play together in a unique show to Frank Zappa.

2004

 * De l'Existence de la Mythologie Chottienne en 7 Cycles is released.
 * Antòn Pinokiov leaves the band and is replaced by MerouMan.
 * Horn section leaves Sebkha-Chott and is replaced by Comte P.A.Squale Del Amafia on alto and soprano saxophones,
 * Tzom Trümb becomes Sebkha-Chott's trombone player shortly before P.A. Squale Del Amafia leaves the band.

2005
Mustach'Man leaves the band to enter a new chanson project called La Muette. He's replaced by Hrabe Black Sebbath (vocals) and Comtesse Gnania Del Amafia (vocals). Electronic Machines are integrated as Siphon Trounezöhle (machines) takes place in the band. Shortly before summer, MerouMan announce he will leave soon, and Capt'n Roses (guitar) replaces him. Both of them will play together on Nagah Mahdi. Nagah Mahdi's recording session is done during summer 2005, in MJC Plaine du Ronceray. For this purpose, Labial Aerostick, P.A.Squale Del Amafia et Mustach'Man reintegers the band, as well as many guests: Grümse (vocals - Electro Addict Band), Arno (vocals - Carnival in Coal), Petit Zornbergette (tap dance - Mentat Routage), David Rabillet (cajon), Mimetic Angel (vocals), Guilty (turntables - Anes et Bateaux / DJ Guilty), Jules Lefranc Gaulois Kaïser (percussions), VaGoDor Deu Sahpun (baritone saxophone), GenBaku (sound painting).

After a computer crash, part of the recording is lost. New recording sessions are made in October 2005. Release dare is rescheduled.

Alter Frabrovitch is replaced by Benoît Popol II on keyboards. VaGoDor Deu Sahpun joins Sebkha-Chott on baritone saxophone, and Jules Lefranc Gaulois Kaïser does the same on percussions.

2006
Hrabe Black Sebbath leaves the band ; Wladimir Ohrelianov II, Benoît Popol II and Capt'n'Roses take the male vocals part. Nagah Mahdi - Opuscrits en 48 Rouleaux is released on Musea Parallèle, giving to Sebkha-Chott international visibility. De l'Existence de la Mythologie Chottienne en 7 Cycles is distributed by the same label from that date on. Nagah Mahdi'reviews are success, especially in the progressive rock ring.

Comtesse Del Amafia leaves Sebkha-Chott.

2007
Sebkha-Chott launches its first thematic tour, called Opération Coin Coin. They meet Sleepytime Gorilla Museum twice at this occasion. This meeting is of great importance concerning the future orientations of Sebkha-Chott.

2008
During summer, Sebkha-Chott simultaneously records Nigla[h]  and De la Persistance onboard of Péniche Excelsior on the AMMD's studio. At the end of this recording sessions, Benoît Popol II and Jules LeFranc Gaulois Kaïser leaves the band. Keyboard will be shared by Wladimir Ohrelianov II and Tzom Trümb (through a MIDI vibe), and percussions will be played by Yüla Slipobitch mainly.

On 30 October, Nigla[h] - Tapisseries fines en XXX Strips et LXX/X Trompettes  is released on Musea Records. This album sets a turning point by being much more dark and obscure than the previous ones, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum's being clearly hearable.

The band tours in Europe with Canadian band Unexpect to support the album. After this tour, Capt'n'Roses leaves the band. Sebkha-Chott enters a doubt period.

2009
During this period, some choices are made, VaGoDor Deu Sahpun and Siphon Trounezöhle leave the band.

Wladimir Ohrelianov II and Yüla Slipobitch décide to go on by integrating electronic machines in an intensive way, which is a historic will of the band, never made real due to lack of time.

De la Persistance de la Mythologie Chottienne en ??? Vélos is released on Musea Records.

Tzom Trümb leaves the band as Souv Ponky Ponk joins it on saxophone and lights management altogether with Cousin Sub on guitar and audioproduction. The shape is then double semi-quatuor, first half being on stage (Wladimir Ohrelianov II and Yüla Slipobitch) the other half being at FOH (Cousin Sub and Souv Ponky Ponk).

Mainly, this year is spent by setting up the new show and the machines/lights/VJing synchronization system. This system is based on free software only.

During summer, Cousin Sub leaves guitar and keeps only audio production. Wladimir Ohrelianov II takes the guitar added to the bass. Souv Ponky Ponk leaves FOH to get on stage.

2010
Sebkha-Chott goes back on tour, and cross road with Extra Life, another important meeting, which let the band even more sure about the new way he works sound as a global material.

During Summer, Sebkha-Chott plays at Zappanale, a German festival in celebration of Frank Zappa, sharing the line-up with Napoleon Murphy Brock, Robert Martin, Ike Willis...

From this tour, it appears that the technical setup is a bit too complex to prepare on stage ; the band goes back working on it to make it easier to use.

Ne[XXX]t Epilog recording sessions begin during Winter.

2011
This year is mainly spent mixing the Ne[XXX]t Epilog and building new parts of the setup.

A new character appears: Tupac Promo, a character destined to communicate in Moron Languages with terrestrial people.

2012
Cousin Sub leaves Sebkha-Chott.

On Spring, Sebkha-Chott starts a new tour called The Ne[XXX]t Tour.

Ne[XXX]t Epilog v1.0 is physically released 2012, September the 22nd on AMMD / Musea Records / Dogmazic. The official announcement precises that the album will be digitally liberated on 2012, October the 18th on Spider Jessica's website.

Origins
Since the band creation, members of Sebkha-Chott made the choice to stay anonymous, and to hide behind fiction characters. Sebkha-Chott, currently named Sebkha-Chott Kourt, is a bunch of characters coming from a mythology invented by the band. This mythology is the only way the band communicates and appears through, as far as shows, web, interviews or even CDs are concerned.

The band calls this mythology Chottian Mythology or Ohrelander mythology

Universe
The Universe Sebkha-Chott's mythology is based on is an autocratic, violent and absurd universe. It lays on a set of locations/places, characters and concepts, several being well-documented, other being hard to comprehend. Absurd and non-sense humor are constants in this mythology, which sometimes forgets to precise it.

Ohreland
Ohreland is the country Sebkha-Chott's Kourt lives in. It is a strolling world, which has no contact with Earth, except during Sebkha-Chott's shows (called "stopovers" by the band).

Political system is a dictatorship longing since 10000 years (this duration does not change with time passing), with a unique tyrant: Wladimir Ohrelianov II.

On a topological point of view, Ohreland is a piece of terrestrial rock with a V8 motor. There are representations of Ohreland in every albums of the band, always from a quite far point of view. It seems that Ohreland is the mix between an organic part (roots) at his base, and an extremely urbanized zone (numerous buildings) on his high parts.

Members of Sebkha-Chott have explained that this world has been thought like a crossing point between Le Roi et l'Oiseau (Paul Grimault and Jacques Prévert), La Révolte à deux sous (Bernard Clavel) and several towns of Final Fantasy, en particulier les éditions VI, VII et VIII:
 * a crappy downtown, deep into dust, without light, full of poor people,
 * a luxurious hightown, technoïd, open to a small number of people (Sebkha-Chott's Kourt) only,
 * a mix between Middle-Age architectures and high-tech object.

Its main city is Babylone, though there is no other Ohrelander town known. Sometimes Ohreland is presented as a city itself.

Characters
Ohreland's population is split into three parts (recently, mainly two):
 * the elite, currently called Sebkha-Chott's Kourt (Kourt is a reference to the hip hop notion of Crew or Krew applied to French phonetics and mixed with royal semantic) - every members of Sebkha-Chott except Mustach'Man and Hrabe Black Sebbath did belong to Sebkha-Chott's Kourt,
 * people, about who there is almost no information: their number is not known precisely (several billions are what comes the most often in the Tyrant's words, though it's not possible due to the small size of Ohreland), as well as the demographic repartition (the Tyrant recently told that Ohrelanders were 9999 years old) - people are interpreted by the audience in every Sebkha-Chott's appearance (shows, web, interviews, CDs...),
 * the resistance network, composed by Mustach'Man firstly, and then by Hrabe Black Sebbath, which are the Tyrant's opponents. Since the leaving of Hrabe Black Sebbath, there is no more resistance network in Ohreland.

Sebkha-Chott's Kourt
It actually contains:
 * Wladimir Ohrelianov II: Ohreland's Tyrant since 10000 years ; it's an angry and pretentious character, loving to lose himself in everlasting improvised speeches, sometimes congratulating the audience (early times of the shows), sometimes really threatening (middle and end of shows). Wladimir Ohrelianov II's speeches use high-level vocabulary, despite the presence of brutal mood changes and several slang words and expressions.
 * Yüla Slipobitch a.k.a Missy Phillis: prostitute in Ohreland since 10000 years, she also is Ohrelander army's leader. She's a power-girl, feminist, though really keen on every human delights, which might turn her into a perfect stupid girl. She almost doesn't speak, and actually only shouts. On very rare occasions, she might have been heard speaking in an intelligible French (last track of Nagah Mahdi - Opuscrits en 48 Rouleaux, in Ode Létale and on several communication clips of Sebkha-Chott).
 * Souv Ponky Ponk alias Souvenette Sire Shô-De: Tyrant's factotum, he's the Occulocks MasterChief, which are the Tyrant's bodyguard as well as a milicia destined to people oppression. He also acts as an executioner during the shows. The hierarchy between Souv Ponky Ponk and Yüla Slipobitch is not firmly established, and sometimes changes. He's unable to use words and seems completely stupid, though absolutely faithful towards the Tyrant.
 * Tupac Promo: he's the communication channel of Ohreland. He's a puppet on a string manipulated by Souv Ponky Ponk. Originally named Didier, he was re-called Tupac Promo in celebration of Tupac Shakur. Tupac Promo signs almost all moron-languages-communications of Sebkha-Chott (which means language with less high-level vocabulary and less link to Ohrelander mythology's dedicated semantic), and sometimes opens the shows.

Ohrelander Gods
In the GangbangoGenesis of Ohreland by Sebkha-Chott, one might read that several Gods have given Ohreland to Wladimir Ohrelianov II. Though, in Ohrelander mythology, there is only one God: Yvette H., Goddess of Death Musette Yvette firstly, and then of Mekanik Metal Disco. Her name is always followed by the assertion "Loués soient son dentiste et son coiffeur" (God bless her dentist and her hairdresser). There are some representations of Yvette H. on old posters of the band and she often speaks on Sebkha-Chott's website, which she created.

Ohrelander graves
Sebkha-Chott ex-members (called "deads" by Sebkha-Chott's Kourt) had the following roles to play:
 * Lahfass Karcher : occulock
 * Cousin Sub : occulock
 * Tzom Trümb : milicia masterchief
 * Siphon Trounezöhle : scientist
 * VaGoDor Deu Sahpun : venusian albinos rastafarï
 * Capt'n'Roses : pirate
 * Benoît Popol II : ohrelander pope
 * Jules LeFranc Gaulois Kaïser : Yüla Slipobitch's pimp
 * Comtesse Gnania Del Amafia : ohrelander aristocrat
 * Hrabe Black Sebbath : resistant vampire
 * Alter Frabrovitch : army's leader
 * MerouMan : sea super hero
 * Mustach'Man : proteiform resistant
 * Comte P.A.Squale Del Amafia : aristocrat
 * Antòn Pinokiov : puppet on a string
 * Comte Benito Del Amafia : aristocrat
 * Filleul Cristobal Del Amafia : aristocrat
 * Marx Bonosov : joke maker
 * Labial Aerostick : televangelist
 * Vedior Bis : narrator

Concepts and political engagements
Ohrelander mythology, characters, Tyrant's speeches and reactions of other characters are all means to communicate several concepts and political messages that members of Sebkha-Chott want to share, through absurdity and ab absrubio demonstrations. In particular, Ohrelander mythology supports:
 * vegetarism (and antispecism in general), all Sebkha-Chott's Kourt characters are vegetarians ;
 * feminism (especially porn-feminism or pro-sex feminism),through Yüla Slipobitch, mainly, but also through several reference objects (Two-fingers Holy Hand Trinity) ;
 * ecology: several times, Wladimir Ohrelianov II spoke about using dry toilets in Ohreland, and also clean-propulsion systems (bathroom-nuclearo-plastico physics, which is an ironic reference to nuclear physics and its self-proclamated security), the idea of turning the audience into compost also has been proposed in concert ;
 * anarchism, with numerous attacks towards democraty as a system reproducing jungle law in a social manner.

Live Show Experiences
Sebkha-Chott's shows are the very moment in which Ohreland exists. In each concert, a hierarchy is established between Sebkha-Chott's Kourt and the audience (which takes the role of the people).

The atmosphere in Sebkha-Chott's show is quite particular: the absurd basement is such that the content might not be taken seriously, though, the audience solicitation is so strong (especially when the audience doesn't react spontaneously) that kind of an embarrassment or even mistrust might occur. Whatever might be the audience reactions, Sebkha-Chott's Kourt lays on them to build the show. Each concert thus is a unique event, as neither the setlist, nor the speeches are defined by advance. Still, there are some never-changing things: the shows open on a triumphal incoming of the Kourt (since 2007), which quickly leads to Tyrant's speech, and they end up on the death of every member of Sebkah-Chott's Kourt, killed by the Tyrant, mainly.

Nagah Mahdi - Opuscrits en 48 Rouleaux
The album is split in a 48 pieces track list, every piece called with a bay or beach name, in reference to Dead Sea Scrolls. Nagah Mahdi means, in Arabic language, the Prophet sources (or origines). The words Opuscrits and Rouleaux (French word for scrolls) are chosen in reference to the Dead Sea Scrolls. Mostly, all the concepts on which this album lays, are inspired by part of the visions of Horselover Fat in Philip K. Dick's novel VALIS, especially some confusions between Nag Hammadi (homophonic to Nagah Mahdi in French pronunciation) and Qumran caves. This bunch of sources related one with the others, but not strictly linked, leads to a nebulous and abstractive concept, hard to explain clearly. All following albums of Sebkha-Chott will use the same kind of nebulous concepts.

Nigla[h] - Tapisseries Fines en XXX Strips et LXX/X Trompettes
The album is split in 72 tracks, in reference to the 72 translations of the Septuagint. The album is composed around Armageddon (which is a translation of Nigla[h]) and especially the seven (LXX/X) trumpets of the Book of Revelation. The 72 tracks split is a reference to the Septuagint, as well as the LXX roman number. Finally, Tapisseries fines is an humoristic reference to the Apocalypse Tapestry. The concept's idea came by reading the description of Abaddon in the New Testament (Book of Revelation), which was given to artworker Slip as a challenge for the artwork creation, as graphical representation of the Locusts King from this description seem impossible. It's the character who's illustrated on the cover. This album has been recorded in the AMMD studio, a recording studio running on free software only, and based upon a Debian Linux distribution.

De la Persistance de la Mythologie Chottienne en ??? Vélos
The album is split in 48 phone messages and 6 musical tracks. This album is a derivative of Sebkha-Chott's early album, De l'Existence de la Mythologie Chottienne en 7 Cycles. 2004's album wondered whether a Chottian mythology did exist, its 2009's derivative claims it existed, is existing and will exist (Persistance). As such, this album is placed between Nagah Mahdi (Prophet's origines) and before Nigla[h] (Apocalypse) in terms of chronology, and that's why it begins with 48 phone messages, as Nagah Mahdi ended up on an automatic phone message by Yüla Slipobitch. This album has been recorded in the AMMD studio, a recording studio running on free software only, and based upon a Debian GNU/Linux distribution.

The Ne[XXX]t Epilog
The 1.0 physical version of this album is split into 22 tracks, distributed between 4 transitions and 18 movements composing 5 acts. Concept of this album is based upon the fact that Times don't exist as an obliged way, and that chronology might be turned upside/down. This is what the title, Ne[XXX]t Epilog, suggests. This concept follows the one being initially described in De la Persistance de la Mythologie Chottienne en ??, Vélos. This album has been recorded in the AMMD studio, a recording studio running on free software only, and based upon a Debian GNU/Linux distribution.

Politics, art, philosophy
Sebkha-Chott's decisions, way, global manner of doing things are ruled by a firm political engagement towards indie music, ecology and free art. The creation of the AMMD, in 2003, was an answer to the need to work with a structure/label which might support such an ethic. More about this engagement might be read on the band website on a dedicated page, or heard (in French) in a radio emission (Symbiose) dedicated to the AMMD, diffused on Radio Libertaire in Paris on 2012, June, the 16th.

Portal:Finnish

Welcome to the Finnish Language Division of the Schools of Language and Literature and Linguistics.

Subdivisions and Departments
Like divisions, subdivisions and departments are pages in the Topic namespace, and their names start with the "Topic:" prefix. Individual departments can be used by multiple schools. Schools that use (link to) the same department should cooperate to develop the department. Subdivisions are used by large divisions to help organize related departments. Not all divisions have subdivisions. If you need a subdivision in your division, you can use the Template:Subdivision boilerplate template to start a subdivision.
