Alfonso de Zamora

Alfonso de Zamora (1474 - c. 1545-6) was a Jewish-Spanish scholar and a major contributor to the Complutensian Polyglot Bible. Like many Spanish Jews during the persecutions of the 15th century, Alfonso converted to Catholicism while remaining a Crypto-Jew [secret Jew].

Biography
Born in Zamora, Spain in 1474, Alfonso was the son of Juan de Zamora, a learned Jew. He attended a Yeshiva, probably the famous Campanton Yeshiva until the age of 18, when he and his family left for Portugal in 1492, before returning in about 1497, already baptized. Sources disagree on the exact date of his baptism, with some suggesting 1492 or 1506. Historian Ahuva Ho argues that Alfonso likely continued to secretly practice Judaism for the rest of his life.

Alfonso was a professor of the Hebrew and Aramaic languages at the University of Salamanca until 1512, when he was moved to the University of Alcalá. Both Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros and Alfonso de Fonseca were patrons of his work.

In 1544, Alfonso wrote or translated letters to Pope Paul III and Cardinal Pierpaolo Parisio, appealing for protection against Grand Inquisitor Juan Pardo de Tavera's persecution of the university's Hebrew teachers. In these letters, Alfonso describes himself as the last to remain among those exiled by the Alhambra Decree, and says that he has had not one day of happiness in his (almost) seventy years of life.

Major works
Alfonso was a major contributor to the Complutensian Polyglot Bible, a project spearheaded by Cisneros. Alongside Alfonso de Alcalá and Pablo de Coronel, he revised the Hebrew text; he also translated the Targum Onkelos into Latin for the project, as well as prepared the dictionaries and study aids which form the sixth volume of the set. He wrote many essays among them "How to Overcome the Plague;" "Loor de Virtudes," on Jewish and Spanish Proverbs; how to respond to the Inquisition tribunals; forced polemics against Jews and Judaism (as pretense to safeguard his secret life); and poems mostly bemoaning his and the Jews' suffering.

In 1526, Alfonso published Introductiones Artis Grammaticæ Hebraicae, a second edition of a Hebrew grammar which he had originally contributed to the Polyglot Bible. Produced with editing help from Pedro Ciruelo, this work was published in Alcalá de Henares, and included an Epistle to the Hebrews (Introductiones Hebraicæ) urging the Jews of Rome and Spain to convert to Christianity. This seven-chapter letter offers arguments for Christianity, Jesus, and the Trinity based on the Old Testament. Adolf Neubauer, a Hebrew scholar, describes the arguments as standard for their day, Ho calls their interpretations of scripture "distorted" and "out of context", and historian Paul Rieger questions whether the Jews of Rome actually received the letter at all.

In his many prayers to the God of Israel, he affirmed his faith. He concluded many of his essays on faith with the statement that the only way to survive was to practice the Torah's commandments. In his essays, translations, and annotations, he cited primarily the Jewish commentators Rashi, Radaq, Ibn Ezra, Rambam, Ramban, Ralbag, HaMeiri, and Ba'al HaTurim (A. Ho, "Alfonso de Zamora, the Crypto-Jew," Iberia Judaica XIII (2021): 15-45).

Other translations and copies
Alfonso produced Aramaic, Latin and Spanish translations and annotated copies of at least 66 Hebrew works. These include:

 * the Targum on Prophets, for Cisneros (1500)
 * Solomon ibn Gabirol's "On Poetry" (1516)
 * "The Accents according to the Italian and Sephardic rites" (1516)
 * the Masoret Seyag La-Torah (1516)
 * David Kimhi's dictionary (1516)
 * the Targum on the Hagiographa, for Cisneros (1517)
 * Joseph Ibn Kaspi's grammar and dictionary (1519)
 * Moses Kimhi's (1519)
 * the Masora parva and Megillat Antiochus (1520)
 * the Book of Genesis, for Ciruelo (1520)
 * David Kimhi's dictionary without niqqud (1526)
 * the Book of Genesis (1527)
 * David Kimhi's grammar, for Eduardo Leo, English ambassador to Emperor Charles V, at the suggestion of Pablo de Coronel (1527)
 * the Books of Isaiah, Daniel, and Lamentations (1530)
 * introduction to the Targum on Isaiah (1532)
 * David Kimhi's commentary on Isaiah (1534)
 * David Kimhi's dictionary (1534)
 * the Targum Onkelos and Targum Pseudo-Jonathan (1534)
 * the Pentateuch (1536)
 * the Book of Exodus (1558)
 * David Kimhi's (undated)
 * David Kimhi's dictionary (undated)
 * Compendium Alphonsi Zamorse Universorum Legis veteris praseeptorum (undated)

Many of these works include Hebrew colophons that asseverate his wide range of sponsors among high-ranking clergy, ambassadors (to Queen Joanna and Henry VIII), and University officials (Ho, 2021).

Cookbook:Wheat Modak (Coconut Pastries)

| Indian Cuisine | Dessert

Modak is a deep fried Indian sweet that is almost exclusively prepared during the Ganesha Festival around August, when it is often given as an offering to Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed Remover of Obstacles. Modak is reportedly his favorite sweet. In some parts of the country (coastal Maharashtra), modak is prepared using rice flour, as rice is the main crop of that region. They are usually filled with a syrupy mixture of sweetened coconut, sometimes with saffron.

Dough

 * 1 cup white wheat flour
 * 1 cup semolina flour
 * 1 pinch of salt
 * 1 pinch of turmeric powder
 * 1 cup warm water
 * Oil for frying

Filling

 * 1 coconut, grated finely (makes about 2 cups)
 * 1½ cups jaggery (or substitute raw sugar)
 * ¾ tablespoon powdered cardamom

Procedure

 * 1) Combine all the dough ingredients; it should be dry but should a little sticky.
 * 2) Grease the dough with oil and leave covered for 1 hour.
 * 3) Melt the jaggery with 4 tablespoons of water in a non-stick skillet until it is liquid.
 * 4) Add coconut. Sauté for 15–20 minutes, until the mixture becomes very thick and almost dry.
 * 5) Mix in the cardamom powder and remove from the fire.
 * 6) Spread the mixture out on a metal tray to cool.
 * 7) Take a tablespoon-sized ball of dough and roll it out—using flour if it is sticky—into a disc 4 inches across.
 * 8) Put a tablespoon-sized lump of filling in the middle (it should be hardening well by now), wet the edges with a finger, and fold up the sides, crimping the dough into a peak at the top to completely seal in the filling.
 * 9) Deep fry the modak in oil until golden brown.

Wikiversity talk:Naming conventions/Archive 1

Page Discussion Voting is below. Argh! I dropped in here to ask a specific question to find it subverted as a voting page. Maybe a good innovation for rapid creation of policy, if not we can take future voting back to the central policy voting page as various stuff is archived. Interesting experiment.! The intent of saying there will be no subpages confuses me:
 * 1. Are you saying the lesson space is reserved for main index pages of lesson plans and detailed treatment of specific material or issues (which can get lengthy) should be linked to in an alternate namespace?
 * 2. If I tackle creating detailed notes from an advanced physics books regarding the material which has lengthy multiple page examples (a typical problem set of 6 or 7 problems in physics at 400 level ran about 50 pages of hand algegra & calculus &esoteric assumptions) how do you want this handled?
 * 3. I hope this is not a reincarnation of Wikipedia's there can be only one article tendency/policy? A convenient way of keeping separate tracks of same topic is adding a suffix or prefix to each associated page. Surely we not trying to fan into single pages with links to only one from all lesson plans? Mirwin 00:06, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

If you think you have a better solution, feel free to replace the entire proposal. Messedrocker 23:54, 19 August 2006 (UTC) Yes, I didn't know where to put this... any ideas?--Rayc 01:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

=Voting= I guess this is as good as any place. I think there needs to be a vote on a couple of things.

Number of levels
You can express your position by voting, or  and signing. Please use the comments section for discussion about the proposal.

One
All school pages are considered equal, be it “engineering and technology” or “audio engineering”. No departments, no subschools. Just one level.

Two
Major school pages, like the ones listed on the browse page, will be given sort of a hub status. They will host any and all departments that belong to them and act as the coordination page for them. Whether or not they will host their own courses and/or research will be decided later.

Few
Major school page will be formed, and then the participants in each shall decided on how many levels each major school will have. For example Art might just have one (“Art” -> “Abstract Art” ), and engineering and technology might have three (“ engineering and technology” -> “engineering“ -> “electrical engineering” -> “Power  engineering”)

Many
Major school page will be formed, and when a new school is “created”, it will be placed by the creator into any school/department/subschool as they feel fit.

..(add others)

Major school name
You can express your position by voting, or  and signing. Please use the comments section for discussion about the proposal.

Thomas Haines Dudley was consul of the United States of America in Liverpool during the American Civil War. He was instrumental in leading efforts by the Federal Government to prevent British involvement in the war, and in particular in preventing blockade runners from Liverpool, such as the CSS Alabama, from assisting the Confederate war effort.

Family and Childhood
Thomas Haines Dudley was born in Burlington County New Jersey on October 9, 1819 to Evan and Ann Dudley. Evan Dudley died when Haines Dudley was two years old. He was raised as a quaker by his mother. Dudley was the youngest of four children.

Marriage and Children
On March 4, 1846 Dudley married Emaline Matlack. They had four children together named Edward, Mary, and Ellen. The youngest, Henry Dudley, who was named after Dudley’s idol Henry Clay, died at the age of two.

Early Career
Dudley began his career as a school teacher and later began to study law under William N. Jeffers in Camden, New Jersey. He was admitted to the bar in 1845. As a lawyer he was active in anti-slavery affairs. His first case found him disguising himself as a slave trader to retrieve a free black mother and her children from southern slaveholders. Dudley was successful in his rescue attempt and was assisted by funds amassed by The Society of Friends, a Quaker organization located in Camden. By 1850 Dudley had expanded his resume and held more prominent local positions like the city treasurer of Camden, the city solicitor, and was chairman of the New Jersey executive committee for the Republican Party.

Health
In March of 1856, when he was 37 years old, Dudley was involved in an accident involving a fire aboard the Steamboat New Jersey. As a result of this fire, fifty people died. When Dudley was pulled from the steamboat, he was near death. While he did ultimately recover, he was plagued by health and nervous system issues for the duration of his life. These health issues are ultimately what contributed to his decision to be stationed in Liverpool for his tenure as consul.

American Civil War[edit]
During the American Civil War (1861–65), consul Dudley made strenuous efforts to prevent ships from Liverpool from breaking the United States Navy blockade of Confederate ports. Great Britain remained officially neutral throughout the war but there were many Confederate sympathizers in Liverpool. The commerce raider CSS Alabama was a screw sloop-of-war built for the Confederate States Navy at Birkenhead in Merseyside in 1862 by John Laird Sons and Company. She was eventually sunk by the USS Kearsarge in 1864.

Dudley wished to retire after the war and return to his law practice in New Jersey, but such was his knowledge of Confederate assets in Liverpool that he stayed on as consul, seizing Confederate ships and returning the proceeds of sale to the victorious United States Government. Relations between Britain and the United States were tense after the war, in part because of the role of Liverpool blockade runners and the widespread perception in America that Britain had been sympathetic to the defeated Confederacy. The claims arising out of these disputes, especially the Alabama Claims, would not be settled until the 1871 Treaty of Washington.

Quenya/Root Words

LESSON 0: Sundocarmi and Lambelë

Theory of sundocarmi
 Any reference in textbooks:

In dealing with Elvish Languages, it is essential to understand the concept of sundocarmë or root.

Definition
The best definition has been given by Tolkien himself in the Qenyaqetsa:

 * Roots are not words in use at all, but serve as an elucidation of the words grouped together and a connection between them.(LT1:246).

Sundocarmi are not actual words, but bases that contain the general meanings, and from which, during the process of evolution of Elvish languages, real words were derived through affixes, suffixes, or modifications.

For example, the idea of "fine rain" is contained in the sundocarmë MIZD-, from which is derived the word for "fine rain" mizdē (in Quenya mistë).

Structure
In the very first phase of the Primitive Quendian, sundocarmi were probably used as actual words; in that period the Elves could speak only through uninflected words, without any differentiation between parts of the speech. Such a simple language is difficult to imagine for us. Tradition says that the very first word ever said by an Elf was el-e!, a primitive esclamation «look!», referring to a star.

Sundocarmi (or proto-words, if they were) usually have the construction vowel-consonant-vowel (both vowels are short), each preceded by a consonant that has been lost:

 * {| border="1" cellpadding="5" style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:0.5em;border: 1px #666666 solid;"

 * (C)VCV
 * }
 * }

like DELE- ("walk") or ABA- ("deny"). This model was preferred for those sundocarmi whose meanings are related to actions (walking, speaking, making, etc..); usually those sundocarmi are said to have verbal meanings read. For other classes of sundocarmi, various structures crystalised; the most frequent one moves the dismissable phoneme from the first to the last one:

 * {| border="1" cellpadding="5" style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:0.5em;border: 1px #666666 solid;"

 * CVC(V)
 * }
 * }

like TATA- ("two") or TUR- ("power, control").

So we can affirm that there exists a common basic structure for sundocarmi as well, being:

 * CVCV

formed by two elements:

 * the consonantic group C-C called sundo
 * the vowel V called sundóma (or steam or radical vowel).

There exists also sundocarmi which Tolkien called monoconsonantic which, as does KWE- ("speak, speaking, language"), contains only one consonant.

 * {| border="1" cellpadding="5" style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:0.5em;border: 1px #666666 solid;"

 * CV or VC
 * }
 * }

Derivation
After Elves had developed a sensibilty for the different parts of speech, they started to derive sundocarmi from the existing ones. Firstly monoconsonantic sundocarmi were expanded, for example KWE- gave KWENE- and KWETE-; later modifications in the structure of sundocarmi appeared. A good example is NAK- >> NDAK- ; ÁNAK- ; NAYKA- ; ecc…

The most frequent modification (that sometimes are used to derive words) are:

 * Intensification: prefixing to a sundocarmë its sundóma, usually together with its lengthening either in the first or in the last position. The extended version is called intensive form.
 * LAK- > ÁLAK-
 * NAR- > ANÁR-

 * A infission: adding an a before the sundóma:
 * {| border="1" cellpadding="5" style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:0.5em;border: 1px #666666 solid;"

 * -i- > -ai-
 * SLIW- > slaiwâ
 * -u- > -au-
 * THUS- > thausâ
 * }
 * THUS- > thausâ
 * }

 * I/Y infission: putting an i/y after the sundóma (less frequently used than the previous one):
 * NAK- > NAYKA-
 * WAVA- > WAIWA-

 * Nasal infission: adding an n before the 2nd vowel of the sundo (an m before b, p, n):
 * {| border="1" cellpadding="5" style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:0.5em;border: 1px #666666 solid;"

 * n infission
 * DAT- > DANT-
 * m infission
 * DEM- > dimbâ
 * }
 * DEM- > dimbâ
 * }

 * Here is one exemple of infission where ŋ has been added before w:

 * {| border="1" cellpadding="5" style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:0.5em;border: 1px #666666 solid;"

 * ŋ infission
 * LIW- > liŋwi
 * }
 * }

 * Antoryamë: under this noun has been collected by Tolkien various modifications.
 * Vowel strengthening: that is the lengthened of one or all the appearance of the sundóma.
 * mata > mātā

 * 'Ostimi': An ostimë of the 1st consonant of the sundo is charcterised by «the running together of two elements, that could be analysed phonetically (without reference to intention or effect) as separate gestures or movements, into a combination that had and was intended to have a unitar effect and significance.»(VT#49:9) Ostimi creates a consonantal diphtong called ohlon.

 * {| border="1" cellpadding="5" style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:0.5em;border: 1px #666666 solid;"

 * t > st
 * s > st
 * l > gl
 * r > gr
 * k > ky
 * k > kw
 * }
 * r > gr
 * k > ky
 * k > kw
 * }
 * k > kw
 * }
 * }

 * The most notable are the nasal ones:
 * {| border="1" cellpadding="5" style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:0.5em;border: 1px #666666 solid;"

 * b > mb
 * BAD- > MBAD-
 * d > nd
 * DUL- > NDUL-
 * g > ŋg
 * m > mb
 * BAR- > MBAR-
 * n > nd
 * NAT- > NDAT-
 * ŋ > ŋg
 * ÑOL- > ÑGOL-
 * }
 * n > nd
 * NAT- > NDAT-
 * ŋ > ŋg
 * ÑOL- > ÑGOL-
 * }
 * ÑOL- > ÑGOL-
 * }
 * }

 * Similar modification can occur also either in the middle of the words or at the end. When it occurs in the middle, it is also possible to duplicate a consonant or an entire group of elements, in which case it means the repetition of the action carried by the sundocarmë:

 * {| border="1" cellpadding="5" style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:0.5em;border: 1px #666666 solid;"

 * CVCV > CVCCV
 * ROKO- > ROKKO-
 * CVC > CVCCV
 * BAT- > battâ-
 * }
 * BAT- > battâ-
 * }

 * Ómataina: a vocalic extension consisting of adding at the end of the sundocarmë its sundóma followed by a consonant, usually –n, -c, -t, or –s.
 * LEP- > LEPET-

 * Differentiation: adding at the end of the sundocarmë the vowel -u
 * KEL- > KELU-

 * Variation: modifying in the sundo some consonants with other similar:

 * {| border="1" cellpadding="5" style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:0.5em;border: 1px #666666 solid;"

 * t / th / d
 * s / th
 * sp / ph
 * k / kh
 * p / t
 * d > l
 * }
 * k / kh
 * p / t
 * d > l
 * }
 * d > l
 * }
 * }

 * Much rarer are variations between vowels ( e/a, a/u).

 Theory of sundocarmi: Advanced Level

 * Fauskanger's "The Steam and its modifications" detailed analysis of sundocarmi and their modifications. Reccomanded especially if you are looking to know the attestations of those phenomena.
 * Tolkien's own essay about that topic pubblished on VT#39. (Part of Quendi & Eldar not pubblished in PM.)
 * Renk's "| Intensifying Prefixes in the Etymologies" description of the most occuring intensive devices in Elvish languages.

Lambelë
The word lambelë includes all the aspect related to sounds and their pronunciation, that we usually differentiate in phonological and phonetic aspect of language. An explanation of this technical word has been given by Tolkien himself in:

 * lambelë [is] a general word for what we might call "phonetics", though it includes various aspects that were not purely "phonetic", but considered the effects of design, selecton, predilection (aesthetic preferences). and meaning upon the nature and use of the tengwi ("phonemes").(VT#39:16).

The first and most important rules of Quenya is that the language should always follow phonetics aesthetic prinicples: to write a sentence in good Quenya is not only important its grammatical correctness, but she has also to be "good-sounding". This is the reason why many phonological changes occur in Quenya morphology.

 Lambelë: Advanced Level

 * "Noldorin words for Language" VT#39:15-20.

Phonology
 Textbooks references:
 * Q#R:96-97 → 14.2.1
 * Q#W:Phonology → Vowels, Consonants

Phonology (Greek phonē = voice/sound and logos = word/speech), is a subfield of linguistics which studies the sound system of a specific language (or languages). Whereas phonetics is about the physical production and perception of the sounds of speech, phonology describes the way sounds function within a given language or across languages.

In simpler words, phonology is the collection of rules that defines those phonema that could be used, how they could been modified, their beahviour and how they can be combined.

Q#R gives a concise and good descprition of the major aspects of Quenya phonology, that should be integrated with the contenents of Q#W for a complete overview of Quenya hloni and their pronuciation(sounds).

However, as phonology has a central position in that language, and most of its structures could be understood only through phonological laws, below are highlighted the principal ones.

 * TAPTON OHLONI (Consonant Clusters)
 * Clusters may not appear at the begining of a word, apart from:
 * qu (for kw), ty, ly, ny, nw
 * Inside a word the most occuring clusters are:
 * ld, mb, mp, nc, nd, ng, ngw, nqu, nt, nw, qu (for kw), ps, ts, x (for ks).
 * and the geminated or lenghtened consonants:
 * cc, ll, mm, nn, pp, rr, ss, tt
 * Clusters, apart from case inflection -nt, may not appear at the end of words. In this position the only accepted consonants are:
 * l, n, r, s, t
 * The consonants d and b never appear alone.

 * ÓMEAR (Vowels)
 * A vowel cannot be lenghtened before a geminated consonants or before a cluster.

 * The only accepted diphthongs are:
 * ai, au, eu, iu, oi, ui

Skipping for the moment the section about "Prefixes", let us go directy to Q#R:99: Consonant Shifts. The shifts described here, some of which have already appeared when we talked about antoryamë, occurs not only when we deal with prefixes; they are frequently observed in the grammatical inflections of the language and are peculiarities of Quenya. Learners should try to remember the ones occuring most, and should keep the table in mind whilst studying the grammar.

Phonetics
 Textbooks references:
 * Q#W:Phonology → Vowels, Consonants

Phonetics (from the Greek word φωνή, phone meaning 'sound, voice') is the study of sounds and the voice. It is concerned with the actual properties of speech sounds (phones) as well as those of non-speech sounds, and their production, audition and perception, as opposed to phonology, which is the study of sound systems and abstract sound units (such as phonemes and distinctive features). Phonetics deals with the sounds themselves rather than the contexts in which they are used in languages.

For an extensive illustration of Quenya Phonetics, refer to Q#W or much better to Q#F:Lesson1. Below is given only the pronunciation (with X-SAMPA phonetic notation) of each tengwë (" phoneme"):

Stress
 Textbooks references:
 * Q#W:Phonology → Stress

In linguistics, stress is the relative emphasis given to certain syllables in a word. Where it falls in Quenya it's well explained on Q#W.

In addition Quenya features what linguistics call secondary stress in words with more than two syllables; it's placed on the last syllable if both the penultimate and the last are shorts.

LPI Linux Certification/LPIC1 Exam 101/The X Window System

Section Overview

 * 1.110.1 Install & Configure XFree86
 * 1.110.2 Setup a display manager|Setup a display manager
 * 1.110.4 Install & Customize a Window Manager Environment

Overview
X is a windowing system that provides the basic graphic functions of Linux. It's designed to provide a GUI to any other systems operating across a network, regardless of OS.

X operates on a client/server model.

X is not part of the operating system. It is an application.

The standard Linux X server is Xfree86.

The XFree86 log file is located at /var/log/XFree86.0.log.

Configuration
type "XFree86 -configure", it will scan your hardware and auto. generate a configuration file matching to your hardware. However, FOR PS/2 MOUSE, I usually need to modify this config file manually from ""Device" "/dev/mouse"" to ""Device" "/dev/psaux""

Starting and stopping X
To start X you can use: startx - terminal command used at level 3; edit /etc/inittab to run default at level 5; xinit - when there is no .xinitrc file; init 5 - to change manually runlevel to 5 (and run display manager); xdm - (X Display Manager) - graphical login manager, which run automatically at boot process when starting Linux at level 5 (there are also external graphical login managers ex. kdm, gdm).

To stop X you can use: ++; init 3 - at lower level than 5 Linux will stop X Window; kill the XFree process.

Configuring X To configure X on a system use XF86Setup. The program will generate a configuration file that will be used by the XFree86 server. To tune the screen under X use Xfine2.

Under X, the user can configure every conceivable aspect of graphic display. Screen font size, styles Pointer behaviour Screen colors Window manager

The tunning can be done on a system-wide or per-user. .xinitrc contains the default window manager and style information to be used by the startx command. This file is usually located under /home/username when defined on a per-user basis. .Xdefaults used to setup pointer behaviour, colors, fonts, etc...

Exercises

 * Exercises results.

Overview
X needs window managers to manipulate all the graphic applications. Move, size. Open and close. Maximize, minimize, iconize. Title bars The look and feel is implemented in the window manager. shouldn't this be in Widget sets not WMs? Provide virtual desktops. Linux distributions contain many window managers: Fvwm2 Motif-like look, highly customizable WindowMaker Next Step look, fast and lean Wm2 Ultra lean Olwm Open look (Sun) Fluxbox BlackBox
 The desktops bring on top of X Window managers more facilities:

KDE: based on Qt, current at the top of market

GNOME: The "GNU" Desktop, based on Gtk+-v2

Overview
X works in a client-server relationship where the application is the client and the server is the application that knows how to provide the services. On a single system, both applications reside on the same system. On a networked system the user can run an X application which is installed on a remote system and do the display on a local system. The advantage of having a X application server is: No local applications installation is needed. No need to have performant local system. No local access to data.

Networked X
Exporting a simple application : In order to do so do: startx on the serverhost. xhost + Enable lack of identification on the server host. telnet serverhost from the clienthost and set the DISPLAY variable to the clienthost. Export DISPLAY=clienthost:0.0

Exporting the window manager : In order to do so do: Activate xdmcp with gdmsetup on the server Use Xnest to connect the client on the server in broadcast

Exercises

 * Exercises results

1)Logging In your system with the failsafe display manager. Execute kde or gdm. Exit kde and logout from failsafe.

2)After logging into your system try to type the following key combinations. CTRL-ALT-F1, CTRL-ALT-F2, CTRL-ALT-F7 What is happening?

3)When you use startx, what is the file where you define the default window manager?

Colusa Ca Population
2010The 2010 United States Census[3] reported that Colusa had a population of 5,971. The population density was 3,255.3 people per square mile (1,256.9/km²). The racial makeup of Colusa was 3,944 (66.1%) White, 54 (0.9%) African American, 107 (1.8%) Native American, 80 (1.3%) Asian, 28 (0.5%) Pacific Islander, 1,510 (25.3%) from other races, and 248 (4.2%) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 3,128 persons (52.4%).

152%  ??  — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:34, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I followed the link to the government census page and the numbers don't match what's in the article. It says the total population was 21,419, for one thing. 13,854 (64.7%) white, 195 (0.9%) black, etc. User:Carlossuarez46 added the info; maybe he's using a different definition than what we think he is. Why not drop him a note on his talk page? Incidentally, the talk page of the article is usually the best place to bring these types of concerns. Matt Deres (talk) 03:03, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Hmm, I think my numbers are for the county rather than the city (county seat). The numbers are still off. Here's the numbers for the city:

RACE Total population	5,971	100.0 One Race	5,723	95.8 White	3,944	66.1 Black or African American	54	0.9 American Indian and Alaska Native	107	1.8 Asian	80	1.3 Asian Indian	27	0.5 Chinese	12	0.2 Filipino	18	0.3 Japanese	10	0.2 Korean	3	0.1 Vietnamese	4	0.1 Other Asian [1]	6	0.1 Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander	28	0.5 Native Hawaiian	3	0.1 Guamanian or Chamorro	2	0.0 Samoan	0	0.0 Other Pacific Islander [2]	23	0.4 Some Other Race	1,510	25.3 Two or More Races	248	4.2 White; American Indian and Alaska Native [3]	47	0.8 White; Asian [3]	18	0.3 White; Black or African American [3]	10	0.2 White; Some Other Race [3]	116	1.9 The number of Pacific Islanders is way out of whack. Perhaps others are as well. Matt Deres (talk) 03:09, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Actually, the numbers on race add up to 100% (or perhaps slightly more, due to rounding). The "52.4% Hispanic," however, is not factored into that, since the U.S. Census Bureau regards Hispanic as a national origin not a race.  To wit, they may be of any race. Pine (talk) 05:43, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Yes, and believe it or not, there are even Asian Hispanics. StuRat (talk) 09:22, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Creating a graphic image of a military unit
I'd like to create the shoulder sleeve insignia for the 30th ADA Brigade, as none exists. How do I get started?--Shovonma17 (talk) 04:19, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Brainstorm some ideas for what they might like in it. Do they have a motto or a nickname ?  Where did they see action ?  Maybe those might give you an idea.  Then I'd sketch it out, and finally draw it on the computer.  StuRat (talk) 04:35, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * If this is their website:, I see several symbols used there, like the fleur-de-lis, symbolizing service in France, and arrows, symbolizing their motto "Always on target". Other symbols are a lion rampant and lightning bolts.  Perhaps you could expand on the "Always on target" motto by having an arrow hitting a bull's eye on a target ? StuRat (talk) 04:49, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * The three arrows on the red background is the shoulder sleeve insignia.  I suspect the question is actually "how do I create an svg version of this insignia for use on Wikipedia", rather than "how do I invent a new insignia".  Shovonma, try WP:Graphics. FiggyBee (talk) 08:44, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * If so, I'd start by doing a screen grab of the image here: . And it doesn't have to be an SVG image, as Wikipedia accepts many formats, such as GIF and JPEG. StuRat (talk) 09:16, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

25th K.R.V Band
My husband's Great Grandfather was presented an ebony band master's baton in 1876, the inscription on the baton reads:- 'Presented by the 25th K.R.V Band to Mr.E.Sayers, 27th May 1876'. The accompanying letter shows Mr.E.Sayers' address as 3, Gibson Street, East Greenwich, London. We know that this was his address and that he was a musician, from the 1881 Census return. What we don't know is, who or what were the 25th K.R.V Band and why he received the baton. Was it a military band? Thanks for your help. P.Sayers. Patsayers (talk) 06:59, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Greetings Pat, I think your husband's great grandfather may have been part of the Kent Rifle Volunteer Corps, I have no knowledge of them but the letters and dates fit very nicely if you check this site. His particular corp isn't listed there but it looks like a good place to start. Good luck. Richard Avery (talk) 07:18, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Bikini vs. underwear
Tipical summer question here. Why seeing a women in her underwear is more "naughty" than seeing the same wome in bikini when both cover the same. By the way, I have googled it and all comentary about the question makes it look like that this is just a woman concern. I, for one, feel more aroused seeing a woman in underwear than in bikini, even if I couldn´t explain why (although to be fair I have only seen one friend in both bikini and underwear, without, ahem, getting any action)

Well I´m interested to know if the deskers can answer this riddle of the ages.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 11:49, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Does it have to do with the fact that there are time that it is perfectly acceptable to wear a bikini in public (like in the beach) because it's the suitable attire, while only wearing underwear in public is frowned upon? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:47, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Exactly. Undewear is not meant to be seen by anyone except the wearer (and her significant other, if she has one). --Viennese Waltz 13:31, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * It's the cultural context. Since underwear are defined as naughty, we view them that way.  The same is true of bare breasts, which are seen as ho-hum in some cultures.  In some Islamic cultures, a woman's face is seen as "naughty", so needs to be hidden from unrelated males.  In Victorian times, a woman's ankles were considered naughty, and thus men would get aroused when they saw them. StuRat (talk) 17:13, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I think that more than half of the young women here in Romania go topless at the beach, but they wouldn't show off their bare breasts in any other situation in public... <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:33, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * There's also "situational normality". For example, men who might be comfortable naked or showering together in  a locker room wouldn't normally choose to shower together at home. StuRat (talk) 20:41, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * However, note that a bikini may be made out of thicker fabric, designed to hide the vulva, especially when wet, and may have padding in that specific area, while underwear may not, since they figure the clothes worn over them will serve that purpose. StuRat (talk) 17:20, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Underwear is known by everyone to serve several absorption functions (go click it!) over time that a bikini displayed for a few sunny hours is neither expected to do, nor to remind the viewer of. DriveByWire (talk) 23:06, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Who was it that made the joke about people who live in those african tribes where people barely wear a loin cloth and a nose ring? A night out at the strippers would include a lady getting on stage and removing her nose ring, to the braying of the male crowd: "Whoa! Check out the top lip on that one!".. Vespine (talk) 02:09, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Relevance? DriveByWire (talk) 09:26, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

 * It's describing how what is and isn't naughty is culturally specific, which is relevant to this Q. StuRat (talk) 18:53, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Old telephone box, UK
What were button A and button B for? Kittybrewster ☎  13:04, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * You had to put your coin in before you dialled the number. If the person answered, you pressed button A to speak.  If there was no answer, you pressed button B and you got your coin back. --Viennese Waltz 13:34, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * And they didn't think to label them "talk" and "refund" ? (The labels could point to the buttons, if not enough room to write that on the buttons directly.) StuRat (talk) 17:07, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Here is what Kittybrewster is talking about. I never met anyone who couldn't understand the button A and button B system. Like making jam sandwiches or a cup of tea, when you've seen it done once you can repeat the procedure Richard Avery (talk) 18:44, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Why should they waste money on superfluous letters, when A and B would work perfectly well? Don't you know there's a war on? Or there was when this machine was designed (I think)... --TammyMoet (talk) 18:51, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * The instructions were normally written on a sheet attached to the wooden wallboard, and as the phones were exported to non-English speaking countries and as phone call charges went up, the instructions could be easily localized and altered. I used those phones as a youngster in the 1970s and while I needed to stand on something to reach the phone (really), they just didn't need complicated instructions. They were being phased out in Ireland in public phone boxes by the late 1970s, but I remember seeing them well into the 80s still in use in hotels and pubs in places off the beaten track. Now off to quietly have a mid-life crisis  FlowerpotmaN ·(t) 19:49, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * A million schoolboys with excess time and optimism pushed that "B" button a million times in the hope that a previous caller might have forgotten some money in the box. Once would be enough and the button was slow to return. Little Britain's Las Vegas. DriveByWire (talk) 22:53, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I remember my father answering the telephone and saying "press button A". Kittybrewster ☎  23:13, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, that explains all the calls I made in London where someone answered and then couldn't seem to hear me. And all the coins I lost, too. "Furriners" are not likely to know this system; I have never come across it anywhere else, and certainly not in North America. The phone booths I was using had no instructions.

 * We're talking about a long time ago though. They had already gone from London in my 1960s childhood, but I found one in rural Wales on a school trip in 1971 and the nice operator lady told me which button to press. Alansplodge (talk) 01:05, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I last made a call from one in 1987 in a telephone box on a minor road to Farr near Bettyhill, which is about as out of the way as it gets in the UK - I hadn't used one for at least 20 years at the time. Mikenorton (talk) 21:11, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * And more information here. Apparently there were 20,000 of them in Australia too. Introduced in 1925, it was replaced by the "Coin Telephone No.1" in 1966 (told you so!). Alansplodge (talk) 01:37, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Oh yes, I remember them well. I'd have said they lingered some time past 1966, but don't hold me to that.  (1966 was an excellent year for Wikipedia, btw.)  --  ♬ Jack of Oz  ♬ [your turn]  01:47, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I think "started to be replaced" would be more accurate. I suspect that London was first in the queue. Alansplodge (talk) 00:57, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not too late to rescue an old telephone box. They were warm refuges on windy days and little islands of light in remote locations at night. I think they used a special lamp bulb to discourage theft. The pictures don't show the telephone directories that hung beside the money box. The money box was robust against vandals, but the handset cord and occasionally one of the many window panes were vulnerable to their malicious attention. Boxes often smelled of urine and/or the previous caller. DriveByWire (talk) 14:10, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

When I first moved from province BC to Alberta I put .25 in to make a phone call. No luck after a few tries. I angrily dialed 0 to ask what the problem was and she said phone booths were .35 in Alberta.

Quick fix for error on Millikan High School
The wiki for Millikan High School in Long Beach, CA has the correct information in body, but not at the top where the location is listed as a hot link right under the title. I don't know how to correct this and don't want to learn wiki language for this. I tried to edit, but I don't see where this link can be edited online.

Ooh Wiki - Ms. Bright Sondia that is is back hopefully in business
July 8 2012

Dear Wikipedia Management and Technology Department,

Good Afternoon and I pray that where ever you all are - things are going to look great, grand, and gracious this end of fiscal year; plus a travel to some place in Slovakia for a new role of Global Knowledge.

Question A1: How can I purchase Wiki Leaks and can you find the owner if he is still not in jail?

Question B2: Is it possible to derive a code from C++ or D-programming which is a decoder to stop Tagging, Misconception of Password Cracker, and get Amazon back on my side for technology books that are reasonable and not too costly.. Yes I did apply for a position but did not here back from them. I have a new account with hotmail now so comcast.net is not around. If you would like to take my position as Board of Trustees Member just ask them. All my emails were confiscated not by me but hackers which were not Ethical. Military - www.wikipedia.gov have you thought about that?

Question C3: Is Google online for www.google.mil or better yet investment with me on Throat Surgery and Technology for Better Hearing Aids for the Deaf and Mute?

Question D4: My Coding Strategy only given to you with patent and intellectual property rights.

'''Begin; If 0:00 = Batchfile for recievalbes; Then Balance AND "" OR "" NOR petty cash = "($)" 10""000.00 on United States Market; VAR = VAT #Virtual or Value Added Tax# "(=)" .21 "(%)"; #percent# INT = Total Quotient; INT = Total Exponent; INT = VAT; END;'''

A McDonalds Code - Interview hopefully Tuesday in town here - Maryland now.

How does it fit in? My persistence to learn another language in coding and foreign for investments outside of Intellectual Property based on Technology Stocks for DNA Sequencing in Pharmaceuticals and Wikipedia Notations on Information on Research and Development. Me. yes now Bipolar after I left in 2000. L4 needs to be taken out I believe.

Take Care and Good luck - use my email or call I can't give that out but it's prepaid. Sondia Remmielehkun Bright (Naomi Orion Justine Eastman Carrington) the real name. (Shh) Ha aha I don't know how secret but it's time for revealing.

Spanish/Imperative

../Verbs/ | ../Verb Tenses/ | ../Verbs List/

Imperativo
This form gives commands.

To form the imperative mood of verbs, one normally takes the present subjunctive of the verb.

The major exceptions to this rule are the second person singular and plural forms of positive command. To form a positive second person singular command, use the third person singular indicative. To form a positive second person plural command, take the stem of the verb and add:

-ad if the verb is an ar verb.

-id if the verb is an ir verb.

-ed if the verb is an er verb.

Note that when making a negative command, such as "no cantes" (don't sing), the present subjunctive is used.

There are many exceptions to these rules.

Troia

Etymology 1
Borrowed from.

Pronunciation

 * Per the imperial-era grammarian Terentianus Maurus, the first syllable contains a short vowel; it is heavy because of the following double consonant /jj/. This is consistent with the etymology from the Greek form Τροίᾱ (with a diphthong in the first syllable). Some dictionaries mark the O with a macron as a misleading indication of the heavy scansion of the first syllable.

Virarajendra

Virarajendra Chola (1002 – 1070) was a Chola emperor. Son of Rajendra I, he spent a major part of his life as a subordinate to two of his elder brothers, Rajadhiraja I and Rajendra II. During his early reign, he granted the maintenance of a school to study the Vedas, Sastras and grammar. A hostel was provided for the students. A hospital named Virasolan was also provided by him for the sick people. The famous Tamil Buddhist grammatical work, Virasoliyam, was written by Buddhamitra during his reign.

Virarajendra’s reign occurred in a period when the Chola Empire was both trying to expand its boundaries and preserve its existing territories, but had appeared to stutter in its attempts because of the death of Virarajendra’s eldest brother and king, Rajadhiraja I, and the short rule of Virarajendra's elder brother, Rajendra II.

In total, the three brothers ruled for 16–20 years altogether by succeeding one another. This rapid succession was seen as a favorable opportunity by the traditional enemies and subordinates of the Cholas: the Singhalas (Ceylon), the Pandyas, and the Chera Perumals, with each adversary either trying to become free or declaring war on the Cholas. Virarajendra proved to be a capable and brave ruler, who was kind and protective of his subjects, reimposed authority on Chola dominions, and was ruthless to the Chalukyas and the Pandyas. His own rule lasted for less than 10 years, yet as depicted by his various inscriptions in Karur, Virarajendra left a legacy in the short time he ruled. He succeeded not only in preserving Chola territories, but also in making overseas conquests in far-off lands such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and Nicobar.

Early life
He was posted as the Chola viceroy of Sri Lanka by his elder brother Rajadhiraja Chola during the early part of the latter's reign. Next, during the reign of his other elder brother Rajendra Chola II, he served as the Lord of Uraiyur.

Military conflicts
Virarajendra fought many battles against the Western Chalukya Empire, the main catalyst for these conflicts being the Chola interest in the Vengi Chalukyas. He fought the Western Chalukyas near Visaiyavadai (modern Vijayawada) and routed the Western Chalukyas on the banks of the river Krishna and re-asserted Chola authority over the domains of the Eastern Chalukyas. He also invaded Singhala Nadu (Ceylon) and ruthlessly crushed attempts of the Singhala kings to free their kingdom from Chola control.

Early battles
During the early period of his reign, Virarajendra fought and killed the king of Pottapi, and king of the Kerala (Chera Perumal) country. He also had to suppress a rebellion in the Pandya territories by the Pandya princes. While these battles were progressing, the Western Chalukya Someshvara I invaded the Chola country, the Chola country was there for his taking and he thought he could overcome his earlier humiliation at the hands of Virarajendra's predecessor, Rajendra II. First, Someshvara I sent his son Vikkalan (Vikramaditya VI) for plundering Gangaikonda Cholapuram, the capital of Virarajendra. Virarajendra was returning after subduing the Pandyas, the Sinhalas and the Chera Perumal kings and making them tribute paying subordinates. He immediately undertook the task of safeguarding the Chola capital and routed Vikramaditya VI from the Chola capital. Next he chased the Chalukya princes Vikramaditya (Vikkalan) and Singhanan at Gangapadi. He completely overwhelmed the Chalukya army led by both princes and sons of Someshvara I and proceeded to the Chalukyan capital. There he routed for the first time Someshvara I who fled the battlefield. The third war fought by Virarajendra against the Chalukyas was when Someshvara I sent his son Vikramaditya VI to occupy Vengi on the presumption that due to the death of his old nemesis Rajendra II, Vengi became subordinate to Western Chalukya rule. Virarajendra's armies routed the Western Chalukyas at Vengi, after which they surrounded Kalyanpura, the Chalukyan capital and burnt the fortress at Kampili taking precious wealth, the Chief queen of Someshvara I, eliminated his generals and trusted feudatories and took away his horses and prized elephants.

Virarajendra successfully quelled the rebellions at Ceylon, Madurai and the Chera Perumal Kingdom, Potappi and converted the Western Chalukyas (at the seven and a half lakshas of Rattapadi) into tribute paying subordinates.

Continuing Chalukya battles
Virarajendra’s reign is marked by the numerous inscriptions detailing his various victories with the Western Chalukyas. Virarajendra was involved in the battles against the Western Chalukyas even before he became king. Under the command of the then heir to the throne Rajamahendra, Virarajendra fought the Chalukya forces in the battle of Mudakaru. During Virarajendra’s reign, Someshvara, the loser of this battle sought to wipe the disgrace of his defeat at Madukaru and called for battle with the Cholas. On each of the confrontations with the Cholas. In his inscriptions at Karur and Tindivanam, Virarajendra claims proudly that Someshvara-I's sons Vikramaditya VI (called Vikkalan) and Jayasimha III (called Singhanan) fled the battlefield with dishevelled hair. Virarajendra further claimed that he defeated Someshvara I's armies not less than five times. These battles took place at Kudalasangamam, Gangaikondacholapuram, Karur, Kampili and Vengi. On each occasion, the generals of Someshvara I like Chamundaraja were beheaded, Maduvana, Vikramaditya VI fled the battlefield with, Jayasimha III, Annala and finally Ahavamalla Someshvara I too fled the battle. In another war, it was the time of Someshvara I's second son, Someshvara II to be expelled from Kannada country itself. Someshvara I took final chance and called Virarajendra for battle.

Someshvara I wrote the Chola king assigning a site in a place called Kudal Sangamam for the battle, near the site of the previous battle in which the Chalukya forces were so utterly defeated. Receiving this message, Virarajendra immediately set out for the battle and camped near Kandai for the Chalukyan army to arrive. The exact date set for the battle, according to Virarajendra’s inscription found at Manimangalam, was Monday, 10 September 1067 C.E.

The Chola army awaited the expected battle for more than a month; the Chalukya king never met the appointment. The Chola army then devastated the surrounding countryside, erected a pillar of victory on the banks of the Tungabhadra River.

There is no verifiable and known reason for Someshvara’s inability to face the Cholas at Kudala Sangama. There was a running succession feud between his first son and chosen heir, Someshvara II and Vikramaditya VI. Apparently, Vikramaditya VI did not want to fight for his father. In fact as per the inscription of Virarajendra at Perumber, after the expulsion of Someshvara II from Kannada country, it seems that Vikramaditya VI allied Virarajendra, Virarajendra immediately nominated Vikramaditya VI as the heir to the Chalukya throne and also gave his daughter in marriage to him on extracting the promise that his daughter's son will succeed Vikramaditya VI as the next Chalukya King.

Surely, the above developments would have discouraged Someshvara I even further. Whatever may be the reason, Someshvara and he committed suicide by drowning himself in March 1068 C.E. But Virarajendra's records say that the Salukki hid himself in the western sea, which indicates the probability of Someshvara I having been drowned in the Arabian sea while running away from the Chola army. This was in sharp contrast to Virarajendra's predecessor Rajadhiraja who lost his life in the battlefield while fighting the enemy.

From Kudal Sangamam, the Chola army proceeded to Vengi to re-establish their control on the Eastern Chalukyan Kingdom. The raiders from Western Chalukya (some sources say that Someshvara I had sent his son Vikramaditya VI (Vikkalan) and a senior trusted General to capture Vengi and install a puppet ruler subordinate to Someshvara I. In a battle on the banks of the Krishna River, near Visaiyavadai or modern Vijayawada, Virarajendra crushed the Western Chalukya army led by Jananatha. Virarajendra then proceeded to conquer the entire Eastern Chalukya kingdom, defeated and re-captured Kalinga whose king had been in alliance with the Western Chalukyas. Virarajendra installed Vijayaditya, the Eastern Chalukya prince on the Vengi throne.

War in Sri Lanka
Vijayabahu, the Sinhalese king, who had been ruling a tiny southern portion of the island around the Rohana district, sought to extend his power and expel the Chola occupier. Mahavamsa records that Virarajendra sent the Chola army stationed in the island to attack the Rohana district. Vijayabahu then sent for help from the king of Burma who sent ships and soldiers to assist Vijayabahu. With this help Vijayabahu succeeded in creating revolt in the northern provinces of Lanka. Although the Chola forces in the island and reinforcements sent from the mainland could control these revolts, Vijayabahu continued to create revolts and disturbances within the Chola occupied areas of the island for the next few years.

Kadaram Campaign
Virarajendra's records from his seventh year mention that he conquered Kadaram on behalf of a king who had come to ask for help and protection and handed it over to him. The possible date for this occurrence is 1068 C.E. There is not any more information to be gleaned from this inscription. As yet we have no knowledge of the Srivijaya king who asked for help and the details of this naval campaign. The Cholas continued a series of raids and conquests throughout what is now Indonesia and Malaysia for the next 20 years. This first re-affirmed the hold of the Chola kingdom on the far east, it also enabled freeing of any barriers put by some kingdoms in the Java-Malaya peninsula on traders from Chola territories including from their subordinate divisions in Sri Lanka. While Srivijaya, Kediri, Champa etc. became independent later on, both during the time of Virarajendra till almost the last days of the Chola kingdom, at least till 1215 CE, trade relations between Tamilakam and the Far East continued unhindered.

Inscriptions and Literature
Buddha, da kanchipuram, V secolo dc ca.jpg-era Buddha Sculpture found in Kanchipuram.

currently held in Government Museum, Chennai. ]] The inscriptions of Virarajendra begin with the introduction, Viramey-tunaiyagavum and he bore the title Rajakesari. An inscription of the king from a temple in Chingleput district gives his natal star as Aslesha. Another inscription from the Tiruttaleesvara temple in Tirupattur, Ramnad district mentions the king's father, as the conqueror of Purvadesam, Ganges and Kidaram.

Ottakoothar's Vikrama Cholan Ula mentions Virarajendra:"The king Virarajendra Chola, killed countless shining, rutting elephants in the city of Kudala Sangamam, and he was praised by poets in a great Parani poem. He belongs to the lineage of Vikrama Chola"

Alliance
At the death of Someshvara I, his son Someshvara II came to the Chalukyan throne in April 1068 CE. Soon after a dispute broke out between him and his younger brother Vikramaditya and a civil war ensued in the Western Chalukya country. Vikramaditya VI fled to the Chola court of Virarajendra Chola, where he was well received by the king and the king Virarajendra himself records that he recognised Vikramaditya VI as the king of Western Chalukya. Virarajendra married his daughter to Vikramaditya VI and forged an alliance with him, halting the long feud between the two empires.

Isvaran singamani alias Tondaiman Solapperiyaraiyan was an officer of the king. He figures as early as the sixth year of the king's reign in an inscription at Tindivanam. He made a donation of twelve cows to the temple of Tiruttondisvara.

Personal life
He was a younger brother of Rajadhiraja Chola and Rajendra Chola II and regularly figures in many of their inscriptions. From the inscription of one of his successors viz., Kulothunga Chola I, in the Brihadeeswarar temple in Thanjavur dated in the 15th year of his reign, we know that the name of Virarajendra's queen was Arumolinangai. Virarajendra Chola's daughter Rajasundari married an Eastern Ganga Dynasty prince, and her son Anantavarman Chodaganga Deva became the progenitor of the Eastern Ganga dynasty.

Death and succession
From an inscription of his from Tirunamanallur dated in the fourth year of his reign, we understand that Virarajendra Chola held the titles Sakalabhuvanasraya, Srimedinivallabha, Maharajadhiraja Cholakula-Sundara, Pandyakulantaka, Ahavamallakula-Kala, Ahavamallanai-mummadi-ven-kanda Rajasraya, Vira-Chola, Karikala Chola, The Glory of the Solar race, Sri-Virarajendradeva, Rajakesarivarma Perumanadigal (similar to the Nolamba Pallava titles of Permanadi from Kannada country) and Konerinmaikondan. Tirunamanallur was also called as Tirunavlur or Rajadittapuram, named after his great predecessor Rajaditya Chola. The very indication of Virarajendra mobilizing his armies for war made his adversaries especially the Salukkis, tremble with fear and every time they tried to confront him, be the Salukkis, Pandiyas or other adversaries of the Vengi territories, they met with nothing but defeat when they marched against him.

Virarajendra Chola died in early 1070 CE after a short but extremely victorious rule. He probably was not very younger to his elder brother Rajendra II or Rajadhiraja Chola and was probably into his middle years when he ascended the throne. In fact, his can be termed (like that of Rajendra-I) as a completely victorious life in that he initially helped his father Rajendra Chola-I, then brothers Rajadhiraja-I and Rajendra-II in both administration and war. Later, upon taking over as King, he himself had a highly successful reign in terms of both internal administration and military conquests. In a way his achievements are comparable to those of Rajendra Chola-I, who expanded his empire inherited from the great Raja Raja Chola-I. Virarajendra was succeeded by his son and heir apparent Athirajendra Chola.

The Thanjavur inscription of his successor Kulottunga I gives the name of Virarajendra's queen as Arumoli Nangai. He also had an elder brother called Alavandan on whom he conferred the title 'Rajaraja' or Rajadhiraja. Early in his reign Virarajendra appointed his son Madurantaka as viceroy of Tondaimandalam with the title of Cholendra. According to historian Sethuraman, this Madurantakan was the son of Rajadhiraja Chola I Another son Gangaikondachola was made viceroy of the Pandya territories. We have no clear information as to which of these two sons was Athirajendra. Like his elder brother Rajadhiraja, Virarajendra also referred to his father as the one who took Purvadesam, Gangai and Kadaram. The most stand out aspect of his rule is the fact that he is known to be the one who issued an excessively large number of grants and edicts. The king was a devotee at the feet of lord at Thillai(Sivan) at Chidambaram, to whom he presented a necklace consisting of rubies of high quality. However, like all his predecessors, he also patronized and cared for temples of all faiths including those of Lord Vishnu.

Aar Dam

The Aar Dam and its reservoir, the Aartalsee, lie in the upper Aar valley in the German state of Hesse. Both are in the municipalities of Bischoffen and Hohenahr in the county of Lahn-Dill-Kreis and about 15 km northwest of the town of Gießen in Hesse. On the lakeshores lie the villages of Ahrdt and Mudersbach, both part of the parish of Hohenahr. Since 1991 the dam has impounded the River Aar, a left-hand tributary of the Dill in the Gladenbach Uplands. The reservoir is also fed by the Stadterbach, Wilsbach (into the forebay), Weidbach and Meerbach (into the main reservoir).

Use
The dam is primarily used for flood protection for the Aar and Dill. In Winter the reservoir is filled to a capacity of 1.33 million m³; in summer this rises to 1.84 million m³. Other uses are: raising low water levels, electricity generation, fishing and recreation. As a result, the dam and reservoir also contribute economically to the region. The reservoir was opened in 1992 as a bathing lake.

Its operator is the county council of Lahn-Dill-Kreis and the Dillgebeit Water Association.
