Linking to other pages
--Fishpi (talk) 09:26, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Are people happy with the fact that this page is just a page of links to other pages?
 * It doesn't seem very book-like to me.
 * It seems that the amount of content we have here would easily fit on one page at the moment, and
 * if it doesn't perhaps it could be broken down into larger conceptual topics rather than individual theorems. If other people agree with this, I don't mind doing the work to restructure it myself.

 * Hi, Fishpi. Seeing others working on the same book is always nice.

 * Issue 1: Should the index for theorems for groups be entirely on this page
 * I seem to agree with you that some of the links should be moved to the page "Abstract Algebra".
 * The theorems seems too small to be moved to "Abstract Algebra"
 * I feel moving links to whole sections like ["Group" and its theorem (cancellations...)], ["Subgroup" and its theorems] to "Abstract Algebra" might be a good idea.

 * Issue 2: one theorem, one page?
 * For me, I think this book need not to be like a book in print and hope that smaller sections can encourage readers to read the whole book
 * Using more pages online would not waste real paper. Unlike real paper books, we can use more pages.
 * I feel learning step by step on many pages is less terrifying than to learn everything on a single page
 * Beginners like me might ~ scream in terror ~ If they see a Big page (like the Older Version).
 * New contents will all cram into a single page when this page grows, if no one try to subdivide it at the beginning. In a moment, people will again see a Big page (I have confidence that many people will work on this book).

 * Is that good for our readers?

--Arydye001 (talk) 15:12, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

 * I'd say the most important thing is that we have good content, so I don't mean to be dictatorial about how it is laid out. I'm new to the Wikibooks project myself, and I've been trying to get used to how things are done round here. My main interest in Wikibooks is in producing books that can be read on an e-book reader or similar, so I tend to favour a structure with fewer links.

 * I see your point about people being scared by a page with lots of theorems on it, but there is one advantage to laying things out on one page, which is that the reader can easily skip backwards and forwards as they read down the page (if results of earlier theorems are used in proving later theorems).

 * I say we focus on producing good quality content at the moment and don't worry about changing the structure, but I'd be interested to hear what other people have to say. Fishpi (talk) 17:36, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

 * I agree that many pages means a lot of distracting flipping or clicking even if the pages are cross-linked.
 * Too few pages means a lot of scrolling and less selectivity in reading.
 * the book should find a balance on amount of content on a page.Arydye001 (talk) 17:51, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

=Lengthy Proofs=
 * Can lengthy proofs show the idea behind them? Arydye001 (talk) 14:54, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Fernando Gaviria

Fernando Gaviria Rendón (born 19 August 1994) is a Colombian professional road and track racing cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam. He is well known as a sprinter. Riding for the Colombian national cycling team, Gaviria came to international attention at the 2015 Tour de San Luis, where he beat former world champion Mark Cavendish in two sprint finishes. His first major Grand Tour wins came at the 2017 Giro d'Italia. He is the brother of track cyclist Juliana Gaviria. His nickname is "Quetzal splendente", from the brightful and colourful South American bird Quetzal. Its colours recall his world championship titles, his Colombia and "la maglia Ciclamino" won at Giro d'Italia.

Early career
Before his road career, Gaviria won the omnium and madison events at the 2012 UCI Juniors Track World Championships. In 2014, he won the under-23 Pan-American road race. He also competed in the 2014 Tour de l'Avenir. Although he did not win a stage, he won the bunch sprint behind the breakaway on the first stage and ended the race second in the points competition. Later that year he won the omnium in the London round of the 2014–15 UCI Track Cycling World Cup.

Gaviria's first major road cycling winning streak started in January 2015 at the Tour de San Luis, one of the major early-season cycling races. He won a surprise victory in the first stage of the race, opening his sprint early and beating 2011 world champion Mark Cavendish of the team into second place. Cavendish said after the race that he had not heard of Gaviria before the race. Gaviria then won the third stage of the race, again beating Cavendish into second place. Cavendish won the final stage of the event, with Gaviria finishing a close second.

Following these high-profile victories, there were reports that several UCI World Tour teams were seeking to sign Gaviria, including, though he committed his 2015 season to riding with the Colombian national team. Later reports suggested that his most likely 2016 team was Cavendish's own team. It was also revealed that Gaviria had been recommended in 2014 to Patrick Lefevere, the manager of, but the team declined to sign him. Following Gaviria's success at the Tour de San Luis, Lefevere called this a "mistake". In February 2015, Lefevere announced that Gaviria would be undergoing tests with after the UCI Track Cycling World Championships, a further move towards a contract for 2016. Lefevere also said that such a contract would not prevent Gaviria competing in the 2016 Summer Olympics. Following these tests, Gaviria signed a contract for 2016 with, along with fellow Colombian Rodrigo Contreras. Gaviria's plans to ride in the 2016 Olympic Games were affirmed by Lefevere; he also suggested that Gaviria might ride as a stagiaire for the team during 2015.

In February 2015, Gaviria competed for Colombia in the track World Championships in the omnium competition. Although he won none of the six events, he was consistent throughout. In the concluding points race, he was able to gain an early lap on the field, giving him a large advantage; he was then able to mark his closest rival, Elia Viviani, and secured a comfortable overall victory to win the rainbow jersey.

Etixx–Quick-Step (2015–2018)
Gaviria made his debut for as a stagiaire in August 2015 at the RideLondon–Surrey Classic. He finished in eighth position, the highest-placed rider. His next race for the team was in the Czech Cycling Tour, where won the first stage, a team time trial. The following day Gaviria won his first individual stage victory for the team, winning a reduced bunch sprint. After this race, it was the Tour of Britain, where Gaviria managed to take one stage win ahead of several world class sprinters including André Greipel and Elia Viviani.

2016 began almost as strongly as the previous season. He won the Team Time Trial with and also took another stage at the Tour de San Luis. He crashed out later in the race preventing another victory. In February he won a stage and the points classification at the new race Tour La Provence. In early March he became the first rider to win two gold medals in the Omnium at the Track Cycling World Championships by defending his title from the previous year. He won stage 3 of Tirreno–Adriatico, his first victory at World Tour level.

In 2017, he was named in the start list for the Giro d'Italia and won Stage 3 from Tortolì to Cagliari in a sprint finish, taking the lead in the general classification in the process. He achieved further success by winning Stages 5, 12 and 13 in bunch sprints, making him the first Colombian to win four stages in a single Giro d'Italia. In July 2018, he was named in the start list for the Tour de France. Gaviria won stage 1 of the Tour de France, starting Day 2 in the Yellow Jersey. Gaviria and other major sprinters such as André Greipel and Dylan Groenewegen were unable to finish stage 11 which was the third major hilly alps stage within the time limit and were eliminated. Gaviria suffered a broken collarbone at the Tour of Turkey and was forced to abandon, ending his 2018 campaign.

UAE Team Emirates (2019–2022)
Shortly after his injury at the Tour of Turkey, it was announced that Gaviria was joining the team on a three-year contract from the 2019 season. In his first season with the team, he won the third stage of the Giro d'Italia, his fifth win total in the race. Earlier that season, he won a stage of the UAE Tour, and ended the year with two more wins at the Tour of Guangxi.

Gaviria won six more races in 2020, including the Giro della Toscana one-day race. In 2021, he only saw one victory: stage three of the Tour de Pologne.

Gaviria started 2022 in the Middle East, winning two stages and the points classification of the Tour of Oman. Three months later, he finished second at Eschborn–Frankfurt before going on to compete in the Giro d'Italia. Here, he finished second on two stages, third on one and second in the points classification. At the end of the season, he obtained no notable results and was criticized by Joxean Fernández, the manager of UAE Team Emirates, who questioned his "focus and motivation".

Movistar Team (2023–)
For the 2023 season, Gaviria joined on a one-year contract, bringing home two stage wins in his initial season, one at the Tour de Romandie and one at  the Vuelta a San Juan. He started off 2024 with a win on day one of the Tour Colombia, later placing second on stage four.

Talk:LAN-Chile Flight 621

Significance of being found again
If the wreckage was found soon after the crash and it was determined all were lost, what's the significance of the 2015 "discovery"? Hack (talk) 08:07, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * According to the Spanish-language Wikipedia article, the wreckage was observed by search planes from an altitude of 2000 to 3000 feet 8 days after the crash. The recent discovery was from the ground.--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:44, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The original discovery only found the tailpiece, the main fuselage was now found in a separate location, and until they release the exact location, it's difficult to say much more... GremlinSA 08:16, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I cannot read Spanish but the reference 5 "El accidente del Douglas DC-3 LAN 210 (equipo Green Cross)" has lots of photos showing the entire fuselage, obviously taken from ground in 1961. Statements like only the tail being found after the accident or only aerial photos being previously available appear somewhat strange. The information of the discovery of the tail section only seems to be based on a statement by an unnamed person in reference 4 "Chilean mountaineers find plane lost in Andes over 53 years ago" and as such does not appear very reliable. There seems to be lots of contradicting information about the accident in the media. --Sivullinen (talk) 12:37, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * That reference lists in semi detail what happened with the flight and crash.. Crucial details include: Tail section relatively intact, Left wing Detached-30m away, 6 Bodies never found/recovered, sections of the plane not found..GremlinSA 14:30, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Flight 621 or Flight 210?
Aviation Safety Network lists the flight number as 621, not 210; 210 is actually the fin number as clearly seen in photographs of the aircraft before and after the crash. Meltdown627 (talk) 17:52, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Gene
The KIAA0753 is a protein-coding gene is located on chromosome 17p13.1, on the reverse strand spanning bases 6578141 to 6641744. The gene contains 18 exons, 19 introns, and has no known aliases.

Homology/Evolution
KIAA0753 does not have any paralogs, but has a wide variety of orthologous species. These species range from close primate relatives, to further relatives such as a few amphibians and various fish species. The most distant orthologs containing KIAA0753 were discovered to be the Giant Owl Limpet and a species of Acorn Worm.

Protein
The KIAA0753 protein is 976 amino acids in length, and contains two notable domains. The first is a domain of unknown function, designated as DUF3498, which spans from amino acid 508 to 663. The second is designated Cdt1_m, which is a superfamily located from amino acid 45 to 123.

There are various predicted post-translational modifications. These include N-glycosylation sites, phosphorylation sites, C-mannosylation sites, acetylation sites, as well as predictions of transmembrane domains and location of protein export. One predicted N-glycosylation site, at amino acid 561, is predicted with high confidence. A large number of phosphorylation sites are predicted with high confidence (can be shown in a table). The KIAA0753 protein does not contain any transmembrane domains.

The secondary structure of the protein is predominantly alpha-helices and coiled regions, with a small number of beta-sheet regions.

Expression
The promoter region for KIAA0753 is 876 amino acids in length, and is located between bases 6543872 to 6544747. A large number of transcription factors bind to the promoter region, and can be found in an attached table.

KIAA0753 is ubiquitously expressed throughout the human body at moderate to high levels. The majority of results show that conditional changes (disease, cancer, etc.) in general do not change the expression levels of the gene.

There are four main transcriptional variants of KIAA0753. Three of them, including variant 1, are similar, while variant 4 has a truncated 5’ region. Other transcript variants are merely fragments of the original.

Function
Researchers have studied the regulation of centriole duplication by centrosome components (13). The individuals conducting this experiment have identified that centrosome duplication is regulated by the following proteins: PLK4, CEP192, CEP152, CEP63, and CPAP. Among these, they found that CEP63 interacts with satellite proteins, namely KIAA0753 and another protein called CCDC14, to play a role in regulating centriole duplication. Their findings conclude that KIAA0753 positively regulates CEP63 centrosome localization and centriole duplication.

A second study has to do with the identification of hepatic microvascular adhesion-related genes of human colon cancer cells. This experiment was conducted with a variety of genes using a method called random homozygous gene perturbation. KIAA0753 was identified as a gene in a silenced state when screening for nonadherent cells. The article concludes that the identified genes, including KIAA0753, may contribute to understand the metastatic process of colon cancer and possible treatments.

Interacting Proteins
Ubiquitin C has shown an interaction with KIAA0753 in humans. Further analysis of this interaction reveals that it is not due to neighboring or co-occurrence, but has been discovered experimentally. The study in question showed there to be a potential for binding between the two proteins.

The following proteins potentially interact with KIAA0753 through physical/neighboring interactions: WRD19, C2CD3. KIAA0753, KIAA1609, and SAV1 were found to interact with KIAA0753, determined through textmining methods.

South East Australian Basketball League

The South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL) was a semi-professional basketball league in Australia comprising both a men's and women's competition. The SEABL began in 1981 and operated for 38 seasons until it was disbanded in 2018. The league was closely linked with the Australian Basketball Association (ABA) and over the years, the SEABL boasted teams from Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia and the Australian Capital Territory.

History
The SEABL was established in 1981 as a men's league. Separate South and East conferences were introduced in 1986. In 1990, a women's competition was introduced after the SEABL adopted the Women's Basketball Conference (WBC). The SEABL was closely linked with the Australian Basketball Association (ABA) during the 1980s and 1990s. In 2012, the women's competition was divided into two conferences for the first time.

In December 2014, Basketball Australia took over the operations of the SEABL. Less than four years later, in August 2018, Basketball Australia disbanded the SEABL after they withdrew its support of the league and denied the proposal of a club-managed league.

In October 2018, Basketball Victoria created a new senior elite league and later in partnership with the National Basketball League (NBL) produced the NBL1 which debuted in 2019.

Karwaan

Karwaan is a 2018 Indian Hindi-language road comedy-drama film written by Bejoy Nambiar and directed by debutant Akarsh Khurana for producers Ronnie Screwvala and Priti Rathi Gupta. The film stars Irrfan Khan, Dulquer Salmaan and Mithila Palkar in main leads and marks the Bollywood debut of Dulquer Salmaan. It was released on 3 August 2018

Plot
Avinash Rajpurohit works for an IT company in Bengaluru. He is dissatisfied with his job and his boss, and was forced into it by his father Prakash, whom he did not have a good relationship with, and who was unsupportive of Avinash's passion for photography. One night a travel agency calls him to inform him that his father has died in a bus accident while travelling Gangotri, and that the body will be dispatched to him. He takes delivery of a corpse and hands it over to his van driver friend Shaukat. As they are about to cremate it, they discover that it is the body of an old woman. Avinash is informed that the corpse with him is that of the mother of Tahira, a widow who lives in Kochi, and that Prakash's corpse and personal effects are with her. The two decide to travel to Kochi to exchange the corpses.

Avinash and Shaukat set out when Tahira calls them, saying that her teenage daughter Tanya has gone incommunicado, possibly due to shock after hearing her grandmother's news. They go to Tanya's college in Ooty, where Avinash meets her trying to leave the hostel. Initially she is aloof and irritable, angering Shaukat, but he agrees to take her along. En route, they discover that along with the corpse is a box containing the personal effects of Latha Nambiar of Kottayam, who was also killed in the accident, but are told there that Latha's niece is getting married in Kumarakom. At the wedding, as Avinash and Tanya spend time with the groom, a gang of goons, which had been demanding payment from Shaukat for long, make off with his van. Avinash, Shaukat and Tanya—along with the wedding's aged shehnai-player, who impressed Shaukat—chase it but in vain.

Shaukat and the shehnai-player are admitted to a hospital, where Shaukat falls in love with a young woman, but is dismayed to find that she is the shehnai-player's wife. Meanwhile, Avinash and Tanya spend time at an inn, but when Tanya picks up a pregnancy test at a chemist's, they start an argument over her morals and she leaves for the hospital. There they come across Avinash's doctor friend Raghu, who takes them to his home, where Avinash rekindles a long-lost friendship with Raghu's wife Rumana. The next day, at the police station, Avinash, Shaukat and Tanya find their van wrecked, but in its place is a new car. They go to the gang's hideout on the pretext of repaying their dues, but flee when the goons arrive. Later Shaukat shares with Avinash and Tanya his experiences of him and his mother being tortured by his late father, at which they all agree that their fathers' lives and deaths have caused them great suffering.

The three reach Kochi where Tahira warmly welcomes them. That evening Avinash discovers in his father's diary that he actually wanted Avinash to retire from his job and take up photography full-time, but could not talk to him out of Avinash's resentment for him. At the prayer meet later that evening in memory of both Tahira's mother and Prakash, Tahira and Avinash make speeches for the two deceased people, who are then cremated. They spend the night at Tahira's, making merry with her friends and family. The next day Shaukat finds out that Tasneem, the shehnai-player's young wife, has been tortured by her aged husband; she asks to divorce him and Shaukat takes her along with the others back to Bengaluru. An inspired Avinash walks out of his IT job and starts a life of freedom with his new friends. In the post end-credits scene, Avinash is seen organising a photography exhibition and has invited Shaukat, Tahira, Tanya, and Amey, his IT colleague. He is also in a relationship with his air hostess neighbor whom he used to meet daily in his apartment's lift.

Development
In August 2013, it was reported that Akarsh Khurana would be making his directorial debut with a dramedy written by Bejoy Nambiar, the story of which revolved around three characters on a road trip. Initially Arvind Swamy and Nawazuddin Siddiqui were to play two of the three lead characters.

In May 2014 producer Bejoy Nambiar informed that as a result of modifications to the script, Arvind Swamy would not be part of the project and that Rajkummar Rao was being brought in. The film was titled Focus at that time.

In June 2014, with a month away from going on floors, director Akarsh Khurana opted out of the project owing to creative differences with Bejoy Nambiar (writer and producer).

Bejoy Nambiar brought in Heeraz Marfatia as replacement but the shooting of the film failed to take off. After several delays Bejoy decided to postpone the project for a year and focus on his own directorial venture Wazir.

In April 2017, it was reported that Ronnie Screwvala had decided to revive Bejoy Nambiar's Focus through his new production house RSVP Films and Akarsh Khurana was back as director with Irrfan Khan and Abhishek Bachchan in lead roles.

In June 2017, Abhishek Bachchan parted ways with the film because the shooting schedule clashed with that of Paltan, the film he was doing with J.P. Dutta.

In August 2017, Akarsh Khurana announced that Dulquer Salmaan and Mithila Palkar had been finalized to play the central characters in the film along with Irrfan Khan. On 1 September 2017 the first look of the film was unveiled and it was revealed that the film was now called Karwan.

Filming
Principal photography of the film started from 31 August 2017. The film was shot in The Lawrence School, Lovedale near Ooty and Kochi.

Soundtrack
The soundtrack of Karwaan consists of songs composed by Prateek Kuhad, Anurag Saikia, SlowCheetah, Shwetang Shankar and Imaad Shah with lyrics been written by Prateek Kuhad, Akarsh Khurana, SlowCheetah and Imaad Shah as per the official trailer of the film unveiled on 27 June 2018 on YouTube.

Release
The film was released worldwide on 3 August 2018.

Critical reception
The film mostly received mixed to positive reviews. The Hindustan Times rated 4 out of 5 and praised the acting of Irrfan Khan, Dulquer Salmaan and Mithila Palkar. Filmfare rated 4.1 out of 5 and said "Watch the film for the fine acting by Mithila and Irrfan. This comedy will surely tickle your funny bone and would make you reflect on life as well". Times of India rated 3.5 out of 5 and said "Karwaan might not live up to the expectations, but it leaves a warm fuzzy feeling in the heart that says all's well that ends well". Aavishkar Gawande gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and called it a well made slice-of-life film. He also praised Irrfan Khan's performance. DNA India rated 3 out 5 and said "Irrfan Khan's film oscillates between being a fun-ride and a dark-drag". The rating from Firstpost was 2.5 and mentioned 'Dulquer and Irrfan are absolute dears in a sweetly understated road flick'.

Box office
The film had a below average opening with 5 – 8 percent occupancy, it grossed ₹15 million worldwide on day-1. Karwaan grossed ₹246.4 million from India and ₹17.8 million overseas for a worldwide total of ₹264.2 million in its lifetime. It was made on a budget of ₹230 million.

Modern Physics/Characteristics of Relativistic Waves

In classical physics, ω and k for light are related by

 * $$\omega = c k \,$$

In relativistic physics, we've seen that for waves with no special reference frame, such as light, ω and k are related by

 * $$\omega^2 = c^2 k^2 + \mu^2 \,$$

If μ=0 then the relativistic equation reduces to the classical, so we can assume that, for light, μ does equal zero.

This means that light does not have a mimimum frequency.

If μ is not zero then the wave being described are dispersive. The phase speed is
 * $$u_p = \frac{\omega}{k} = \sqrt{c^2 + \frac{\mu^2}{k^2}} $$

This phase speed always exceeds c, which at first may seem like an unphysical conclusion. However, the group velocity of the wave is
 * $$u_g = \frac{d\omega}{dk} = \frac{kc^2}{\sqrt{k^2c^2+\mu^2}}

= \frac{kc^2}{\omega} = \frac{c^2}{u_p}$$

which is always less than c. Since wave packets and hence signals propagate at the group velocity, waves of this type are physically reasonable even though the phase speed exceeds the speed of light.

Another interesting property of such waves is that the wave four-vector is parallel to the world line of a wave packet in spacetime. This is easily shown by the following argument.

The spacelike component of a wave four-vector is k, while the timelike component is ω/c. The slope of the four-vector on a spacetime diagram is therefore ω/kc. However, the slope of the world line of a wave packet moving with group velocity is c/ug, which is also ω/kc.

Note that when we have k is zero we have ω=μ. In this case the group velocity of the wave is zero. For this reason we sometimes call μ the rest frequency of the wave.

Embassy of the United States, Singapore

The Embassy of the United States of America, Singapore is the diplomatic mission of the United States to Singapore. It is one of the largest American embassies in the Asia-Pacific region and the focal point for events relating to the United States held in Singapore.

It also provides assistance to American citizens and residents who live in Singapore and issues long term visas to Singapore nationals.

The office of the United States Ambassador to Singapore is currently held by Jonathan E. Kaplan, appointed with effect from 6 December 2021.

Location
The embassy is located at Tanglin Road. The closest Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station is Napier.

Early years
The first US diplomatic mission in Singapore was established in 1833 with the assignment of Joseph Balestier as consul. Although Singapore was an important free trade port, there was some question over whether Americans were legally allowed to conduct business there by the British, and so he was officially assigned to "Rhio (Riau, then a part of the Dutch East Indies) and such other places as are nearer thereto than to the Residence of any other Consul or Vice Consul of the United States" while residing in Singapore and mostly conducting business related to the territory. It was only in 1836 that an official consulate was established in Singapore with Balestier as consul. The post was promoted to a consulate-general in 1893.

20th century
The mission acquired the Spring Grove house in 1930 to house diplomats and opened a United States Information Service library on 26 Raffles Place in 1950 that the embassy claims "was so popular that bus services to downtown Singapore had to be extended through the evenings".

A new consulate building, the first to be built instead of acquired for this purpose, was opened on 30 Hill Road in 1961. Although the United States first proposed that the post be raised to embassy status in late 1965, the Singaporean government took a while to warm up to the idea as it gradually shifted to improve relations with the US while maintaining a non-aligned stance overall, and the promotion was finally agreed to and executed in April 1966.

Current location
During the 1990s, it was decided that the embassy is to moved to a new site at the Tanglin district for improved security and capacity measures, with several embassy properties being sold in 1989 to fund the nearly US$100 million cost of the new compound. In 1994, ground was broken and the construction of the new complex officially began. Designed by The Stubbins Associates, it was completed in 1997 after around two years.

Role in Singapore–United States relations
The embassy has been reprimanded at times by the Singapore government over what it states are "interference in Singapore's internal politics", dating back to the Hendrickson affair in 1988 which led to a major diplomatic fallout involving the recall of a diplomat each from both countries' embassies.

In May 2021, a minor event occurred after the embassy held a virtual seminar with an LGBT group about the economic benefits of inclusion worldwide, with Singaporean authorities stating that it amounted to U.S. interference in the national debate over the government's LGBT policies. It also declared that such domestic social and political matters are "choices for only Singaporeans to debate and decide." Embassy representatives refuted those allegations.

In March of 2024, a CNA article was put out to the public on Jonathan Kaplan claiming that Jonathan Kaplan had threatened embassy staff and made poor relations with the Singapore government.

Piano

Piano lessons (click to view titles)

Collection of figures (read below)

Figure 1 illustrates the bass ( 𝄢 ), alto (𝄡 ), and treble ( 𝄞 ) clefs, using two conventions for labeling the notes. Two mnemonics for remembering the treble and bass staff lines are: Every Good Boy Does Fine Good Boys Do Fine Always

Figure 1 is ideal for teaching the student to read slightly more than dozen notes typically played by the left hand ( 𝄢 ) and a dozen notes played by the right hand ( 𝄞 ). Figure 2 connects the piano's keys with note's letter-names.

Figure 3 combines features from Figures 1 and 2 by extending the diagram to all 88 notes on a standard piano keyboard. The figure's narrow dimensions permit it to be situated adjacent to the score on Wikiversity pages. In fact, I am currently using this figure to find the fingering and teach myself. To view this figure in action, visit:

Piano/Gymnopédie 1 by Erik Satie

Figure 4 strongly encourages you to guess the note. Without that guess, you need to scan each bar. If you go from left-to-right with "C", you need to scan all seven notes if the note was a "B". I don't know about other people, but forcing me to "guess" seems to help me memorize things. Piano teachers often encourage students not to look at the keyboard, perhaps because "guessing" the position of the note enhances the development of muscle memory.

Random number

A number selected by chance (or in the case of a computer program, as near to simulating chance as possible).

Typically, a programming language has a built in command or function to generate a number for you. In most cases, the number will be delivered as a random floating point decimal value between 0 and 1. It is up to the programmer to apply arithmetic to this number to convert it to a number in the desired range.

For example, if you want to simulate the roll of a six-sided die, you would multiply this original random result (which starts out between zero and one) by six, add one and then remove any portion after the decimal.

Let DieRoll = Integer(RandomResult * 6 + 1)

In the most extreme cases, where RandomResult is 0 (multiplying by six yields zero, and then add one) our die roll is a one, and when RandomResult is 0.999999... (multiplying by six yeilds 5.9999..., adding one yeields 6.9999..., but taking only Integer portion) we get six.

Talk:Hank

I can't say I really understand the distinction drawn in the list of persons named Hank. Very few if any of them listed as "given name" actually have Hank as their given name; most of them are named Henry and several have completely different given names. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:40, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Influence
Was it really influenced by the Dutch version of Henry? Or was it derived from a Middle English diminutive form of Henry? (I.e. it might have perhaps been Henkin or Hankin, much like Jack) — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:03, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The Dutch derivation may explain why it's primarily an American name not often found in other English speaking countries. --Ef80 (talk) 12:12, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Inoceramus cuvieri

Inoceramus cuvieri is an extinct species of the extinct genus Inoceramus of Bivalve mollusks that serves as an index fossil of chalky rocks of Turonian age of the Cretaceous Period in Europe and North America.

Description
Inoceramus cuvieri are commonly found as brown shells, usually with some shine. Immature I. cuvieri are not as flat as other shells in the same rock, having a high hump for its umbo, and having much thinner growth lines. Immature thin shells appear as fragile as other bivalves found in the same rocks. Mature I. cuvieri are flat and can be around 1 meter in size, leaving much thicker shells.

Environment
Inoceramus cuvieri lived in shallow, temperate, normal-salinity inland seaways where the bottom was calcareous mud, corresponding to the maximum depth and width of the Greenhorn sequence of the Western Interior Seaway. The depths of as much as 1000 ft were far enough from shore for clear water and slow sedimentation, and the bottom deep enough for rare wave action disturbance. Fragments of shells from large individuals are encrusted by Ostrea congesta, two Serpula species, and other sessile animals, reflecting that the shells of large Inoceramus floating on the mud were commonly the only hard surfaces available for colonization.

Distribution
Inoceramus cuvieri are found throughout both middle Turonian Europe and the middle Turonian Western Interior Seaway.

In the High Plains of North America, I. cuvieri is an index fossil of the chalky lower Carlile Shale and upper Greenhorn Limestone and the corresponding bedding of the Mancos Shale, and shells of juveniles are particularly common in the Fencepost limestone bed.

Shire Hall, Durham

The Old Shire Hall is a former municipal building in Old Elvet, Durham. The building, which was the headquarters of Durham County Council from 1898 to 1963, is a Grade II listed building.

History
In the 18th century the justices held the assizes in the Shire Hall (also known as the County House) beside Palace Green; they then moved to a new courthouse at the head of Old Elvet in 1811. Following the implementation of the Local Government Act 1888, which established county councils in every county, it became necessary to find a meeting place for Durham County Council. County leaders decided that the courthouse was not suitable for the purpose and chose to procure county council offices nearby: the site they selected in Old Elvet had previously been occupied by a row of large residential properties.

The foundation stone for the new building was laid by the Lord Lieutenant of Durham, the Earl of Durham in April 1896. It was designed by Harry Barnes and Frederick Coates in the Baroque Revival style, built by David and John Rankin at a cost of £14,000 and was officially opened by Alderman Samuel Storey on 26 July 1898. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with nine bays in red terracotta facing onto Old Elvet with the end bays slightly projected forwards; the central section, which also slightly projected forwards, featured an arched doorway on the ground floor with a wrought-iron grill; there was a pair of round headed windows on the first floor and a tower with a copper-clad dome at roof level. Internally, the principal room was the council chamber.

A new wing, banded in stone and brick, which added an extra three bays to the east of the main building, was completed in 1905. A memorial to county council staff who had died in the First and Second World Wars was unveiled by the Chairman of the County Council, Councillor Thomas Benfold, on 10 November 1948.

Nikolaus Pevsner did not take a favourable view of the building in his 1953 Buildings of England volume, where he described the building as a "deplorable" building "with monumental intentions and disastrous effects" whose "cursedly imperishable red Victorian brick... is such crushing proof of technical proficiency and aesthetic dumbness".

After the County Council moved to County Hall at Aykley Heads in October 1963, the Shire Hall served as the administrative headquarters of Durham University until September 2012 when the University moved to the Mountjoy site, in the Palatine Centre on Stockton Road. The Shire Hall then stood vacant until it was converted for use as a hotel by Brims of Sunderland to the plans of HL Architects: it re-opened as the Hotel Indigo in March 2018.

Chain mail/Getting Rings

There are two ways to obtain rings, buy them or make them yourself. To make rings, wire is coiled and the coil is cut along its length. If you want to buy rings or coils pre-made, there is a list of sources at the end of this lesson.

Links to other tutorials about ring-making:

Characteristics of rings
Rings are described by the thickness of the wire from which they are made and the inside diameter (ID) of the ring. The wire diameter (WD)is referred to by gauge, or in millimeters or inches. There are two types of gauge:  Standard Wire Gauge (SWG) and  American Wire Gauge(AWG). The distinction between these two is important as, for example, 16 gauge wire is a different thickness in each system. Using the wrong measurement will result in rings of a different size than expected, possibly making them useless for the planned project.

Aspect ratio (AR) is very important to chain mailers. The formula to calculate the aspect ratio is: AR=ID/WD. A more detailed explanation can be found at. This ratio is useful as different weaves require different ARs, and you can make the same weave with a different wire thickness and it will still turn out well. When a weave is flexible about the AR required, the the rings you choose will determine flexibility and density of the finished piece. A list of web sites that give the recommended or minimal AR for many weaves is available here.

Wire
Wire is available in many different types of material. The material can be separated in two categories: soft and hard material. Any metal can be used for a given project, though some are better suited to particular purposes than others, due to looks, possible tarnishing or corroding, and ease of weaving. Be sure to research carefully which materials are appropriate for items worn to SCA or similar events, as softer metals will not be strong enough for some activites, such as combat.

Soft material

 * Aluminium
 * Anodized aluminium
 * Etched aluminium
 * Bright aluminium
 * Brass
 * Bronze
 * Copper
 * Enameled copper
 * Gold
 * Gold Filled
 * Neoprene
 * EPDM
 * Niobium
 * Anodized Niobium
 * Silver
 * Nickel Silver

Hard material

 * Inconel
 * Steel
 * Mild Steel
 * Galvanized Steel
 * Stainless Steel
 * Titanium
 * Anodized Titanium

Health Hazards
Health risks associated with metals commonly used to make chain mail are generally limited to ingestion of large amounts of the metal or inhaling dust (from saw cutting) or fumes (from heating). Take the proper precautions when working with metals in this manner, such as wearing a dust mask and working in a well-ventilated area. Solid metals can cause skin irritation in some individuals.

Rubber rings (neoprene and EPDM) may cause irritation in sensitive people.

There is some concern that aluminium and its alloys are linked to Alzheimer's Disease. It is not known if presence of aluminum in the brain is a cause of Alzheimer's or a result of the disease allowing the metal to enter.

If you are concerned about a particular metal, you may either avoid it or look into available substances to give rings or finished pieces a clear coating.

Links to applicable Material Safety Data Sheets are available at the end of this lesson.

Wear eye protection when using a power saw to cut rings, and keep hair and clothing clear of the saw. If cutting copper, become familiar with "metal fume fever" and take the proper safety precautions.

Ruboff
Some materials may leave some particles on the skin when worn. This is known as ruboff and can often be prevented by cleaning the piece, by simple washing with soap or by tumbling. It also depends on the individual, as the skin of each person has different properties that affects their reaction to the metal. Aluminium, copper, and silver are metals that are known to sometimes leave marks.

Making coils
To make a coil we need a rod or a mandrel. A mandrel is a rod with with a transversal saw cut or slot at one end, or a hole may be drilled in it. One end of the wire is placed in this cut or hole to keep the coil from slipping around the mandrel. If you have a rod, you can saw a a slot or notch at the end, drill a hole in it, or use a vice grip to immobilize the wire when coiling. If you use a drill to hold the mandrel, you can push the end of the wire into the chuck, although this is less secure.

You can make the coil manually by turning the rod with one hand while guiding the wire with the other. This can be difficult for harder materials. This can be made easier by bending a handle into the rod and constructing a holder for it, such as shown here:. You can also use a drill or other tools to turn the rod.

WARNING: Using a power tool to coil can be dangerous. There is a risk of catching fingers in moving parts. Also be aware that all metals have some degree of springback, which is the slight unwinding that occurs when tension on the wire is released. The end of the wire will whip around when this happens, which can slice open a finger, an eye, or any number of body parts. Protective wear such as heavy gloves and safety glasses can prevent this.

There is a tutorial for advanced power winding at.

Cutting coils
There are many ways of cutting coil to make wire. Many types of cutters are available, and jewelers saws or power tools like a dremel can be used as well. WARNING: Using a saw can be dangerous. Never try to hold the coil in your hand while sawing. It is easy to slip with the saw and cut yourself. Freed rings may also scatter, perhaps propelled into your face. Designs for jigs to hold coils are available, and it is also possible to purchase systems to cut rings.

Several tutorials for cutting rings, both by hand and with a saw are available on M.A.I.L.'s site. Hand cutting harder metals can be done with the score and break technique.

Deburring and polishing
Deburring rings that have sharp edges is an important step to keep the finished pieces from catching on skin, and clothing. This may be done with a file, but is easier with a tumbler. Nice results can be obtained for aluminum rings by simply tumbling a quantity of rings in a drop of soap and enough water to cover them. You may also use stainless steel shot or other tumbling media to deburr. Adjusting your cutters can help to reduce the amount of deburring required.

To polish rings, you can use rice, walnut shells (available at pet stores), soap and water, steel shot, or flour.

Some rings may also be cleaned by other methods. For example, copper can be cleaned with a lemon juice and salt mixture. More ideas for cleaning and polishing rings can be found at M.A.I.L.

Template talk:he-noun

Making optional.
Currently, the  parameter is mandatory: either a singular construct form must be specified, or   to indicate that no singular construct form exists, or the word will be added to Category:Hebrew noun articles missing singular construct forms. However, for long modern nouns, the issue isn't so much whether it exists, as whether it meets CFI. I've been adding the hypothetical construct form without vowels (i.e., for nouns ending in ־ה I've been changing it to ־ת, and for other nouns I've just duplicated the consonants of the indefinite form), but that's potentially misleading, since it would be very rare to actually see someone use that form. I think that  should be made optional — either the category is only added when , or maybe the category is added by default, but   suppresses it, or maybe simply   shouldn't be so bold as to state that no singular construct form exists, and should mean simply "hey, template: don't list the singular construct form". Any thoughts? —Ruakh TALK 14:30, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree  should be optional; I like your " " and "  shouldn't be bold" suggestions.—msh210 ℠ 20:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

plcons= and plconswv=
has left a note on my talk-page, suggesting that plcons= and plconswv= be added to this template. I'm neutral on the matter — a lot of dictionaries present that, at least for irregular nouns, but on the other hand we theoretically provide full declension tables anyway — but as a matter of process, I figured I should mention it here and wait a day or so before actually doing it. —Ruakh TALK 17:21, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Proposed rewrite.
I've created a proposed new version at User:Ruakh/Template. The proposed version strives to behave exactly like the current version (and I intend to do a lot of testing to ensure that; so far I've done just a bit). The improvements are all internal; the proposed version separates three concerns that are badly intermingled in the current version:

 * All the structure of parentheses and commas and semicolons and spaces between forms is handled by.
 *  itself handles all the real content; for example, if a plural indefinite form is included, then it handles the  plural indefinite form  stuff and passes that in to  as pl=.
 *  itself also handles all the categories, both regular categories and cleanup categories, but whereas the current version mixes that in with the HTML-generating template-code, the proposed version puts all the category stuff together at the end.

The reason for the change would be that the new version should be much easier to make improvements to. For example, my <tt>cons=?</tt> idea above has languished for more than three years, due in part to its being a pain to implement: all the formatting code that checks to see if a singular construct form is specified (in order to figure out where/whether to include punctuation) would have to be modified to see if it's specified and not <tt>?</tt>. With the proposed version, this becomes much simpler, since the formatting logic depends only on whether <tt>cons=...</tt> is generating actual wiki-code.

Another bit of refactoring may also be warranted, creating some sort of to handle the repeated <tt>  </tt> logic (cf. ); the current proposed refactoring is probably independent of that one, though.

Any questions/comments/objections/concerns/whatnot?

—Ruakh TALK 02:14, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

 * ✅. Incidentally, I found during testing that the existing version had some issues with formatting that were fixed by the refactoring: if the pausal form was present, but the inflected forms were missing, then the old version would have a <tt>(</tt> before the pausal form but no <tt>)</tt> after it. More evidence that the existing version was unmaintainable. :-)  —Ruakh TALK 14:43, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

RTL issue
Here you can see a strange behavior: during the template processing, the point moves from ג to ב. I suppose this is a RTL issue. Maybe someone can take a look into it. -- <IP_ADDRESS> 06:20, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Found a second example at %D7%9E%D7%9C%D7%9B%D7%94. -- <IP_ADDRESS> 06:44, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't see any problem. At géver I see a dagésh in the gímel, and at malká I see a dagésh in the káf. Is that not what you see? —Ruakh TALK 13:46, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * It seems to be a problem on the Mac only. I checked it on a windows system and it was OK. See the screenshot below (left: Safari, right: Firefox) -- Stf (talk) 08:07, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

 * FWIW: The HTML source code is OK, it must be a bug in the browsers. -- Stf (talk) 08:21, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

 * That's . . . wow. Tell me, does גֶּבֶר render any better? (That forces the dagésh to precede the segól in the source text, by using a numeric character escape to represent the segól, so that MediaWiki can't impose NFC and interpose them.) Similarly, how about מַלְכָּה? —Ruakh TALK 11:51, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Both are OK. It is a nasty workaround, but it works. -- Stf (talk) 21:34, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Could you try adding this bit of JavaScript to User:Stf/common.js? : that will find any places where MediaWiki has put a dagésh after other nikúd, and will forcibly undo that. If it works for you, we might want to add it to site-wide JavaScript. —Ruakh TALK 22:04, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Works perfect. Thank you. -- Stf (talk) 23:00, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Maybe I found a new variant of this problem: on אפשר (template:head), the shin dot moves from right to left. Same with השתמש (template:he-verb) on the first shin. Maybe you can catch it with your script? Thank you. -- Stf (talk) 20:23, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Yup, that sounds like the same problem. Thanks for letting me know. I believe this updated script should catch that as well:

 * (Same approach as before, except now it puts any shín and sín dot before any dagésh, and any of these before any other nikúd.)
 * To test it: שֶׁמֶשׁ (shín, no dagésh); שָׂמֵחַ (sín, no dagésh); דִּבֵּר (dagésh, no shín or sín); להִשָּׁבֵר (shín with dagésh); הַשָּׂמֵחַ (sín with dagésh); נִשְׁבַּר (shín and dagésh separately).
 * —Ruakh TALK 03:19, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
 * It works fine, thank you. -- Stf (talk) 21:51, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Today I encountered the sin/shin problem again. I deleted User:Stf/common.js and all nikuds are on the right place, only shin/sin are sometimes wrong. The שֶׁמֶשׁ, written as, reads shemes (first shin, second sin), but this ->שֶׁמֶשׁ<- (plain text) looks fine. If I get it right, only the shin as the last character of a word within a linking template is affected: the entry שלג is OK, אש and שמש are broken. At this moment, I recomment to disable the JavaSript since it causes some extra trouble (disapearing dageshs, sin for shin). I recently updated to Mac OS Maverick, I assume there was a change in some system libraries. -- Stf (talk) 00:06, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Interesting! How does he look? (And שֶׁמֶשׁ?)—Ruakh TALK 00:42, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * is "shemes",  is "shemesh". -- Stf (talk) 05:58, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

alternative plural forms
What is the right way to encode alternative plural forms? See גב for my first attempt, but in this manner the template produces a wrong link (of course). -- Stf (talk) 06:12, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

 * I generally choose one for the inflection-line, and mention the other in a usage note. See e.g. יובל, קבר, דמות. —Ruakh TALK 12:04, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Documentatin for dwv and pldwv
Could someone please add documentation for the parameters  and  ? I've seen them here and I guess that they are for spellings that differs between vocalized and unvocalized forms. Thanks. Stf (talk) 22:21, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Re: "I guess that they are for spellings that differs between vocalized and unvocalized forms": Indeed. The 'd' stands for "defective" (חסר, as in כתיב חסר). And yeah, we need to document this . . . —Ruakh TALK 23:53, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Falsely categorized as feminine plural in -im
בת ים is categorized as a feminine noun with plural ending in ים. As a string of letters, the plural does, but the plural ending is -ות, added to the first word. The ים at the end means "sea"; it's not a plural. PierreAbbat (talk) 05:07, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, the correct way to fix this is to implement better handling of compound words in general, which would take some time. --WikiTiki89 15:12, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Games in development

Part of Board Game Design

Introduction
The essential training of a game designer comes in the form of actually making, testing, and playing their own games. This is the place to post your own games, request critiques, and playtest. Please place your game pages in the /subdirectories/ of this folder!

Games in Development

 * Landsknecht - a tactical simulation being built for Strategic Studies
 * cisLunarFreighter A game development project being data mined for Wikiversity learning trail A Hands-On Introduction to Game Design and Production Processes. We are now considering setting up a class in game production methods using only open source methods and materials with both open source and proprietary tools.  Obviously a large challenge is defining process flows efficiently. If there is any interest be sure to drop by and let us know.  Thanks! Mirwin 04:25, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Incremental space colonization A moon colonization game, that is not just a game. The first of successively more and more serious simulations. Start with a game, because its easier. Launchers are too expensive, the strategy is to first build incrementally a remotely controlled industrial outpost. Meaning, a few remotely controlled robots and machine tools will be send, they will build a little mining and manufacturing industry, to build everything else. When the outpost breaks even, it starts building facilities for future human colonists, they come at the very end in a one way ticket, never to return to earth. The whole point, is to minimize launching stuff from earth.--Super Quantum immortal 11:32, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Game Variants in Development

 * /Liberal Diplomacy/

School of Economics

 * Game Theory: The study of human decision making.
 * Games of Game Theory: A catalog of games used in game theory and analyses of their use and strategies.

School of Strategic Studies

 * The Universal Tactical Simulation: This project aims to develop a workable set of basic rules, that can be applied to any era of history or configuration of forces, for simulation of combat at a tactical (battlefield) level. The rules will, hopefully, be playable by students and have some degree of pedagogical utility. The project takes the human as the basic unit of analysis and attempts, as best as possible, to measure and predict a human's response to the difficulties experienced in combat. This may be accomplished by the use and analysis of smaller games specifically designed to fight single battles in history.
 * Universal Operational Simulation: Drawing from the experience of the Tactical Simulation, this project aims to make a hex-based operational simulation for the purposes of instruction. Like the Tactical Simulation, it will be useful to develop individual games with specific wars and/or eras as their subject, and then extrapolate common themes into a universal "base" of rules from which any other era or war may be extracted.
 * Strategic Simulations: This project attempts to create a set of workable rules for strategic level simulations. These games should be useful to higher-level students as a pedagogical tool and should be playable by large numbers of players. Each simulation is built to illustrate a certain angle of the study of strategy. When enough data and content is gathered, we may attempt to combine the individual simulations into a grand unified simulation of strategic level decision making.

Topic:Software testing
The goal is to give the participants of this course a practical view on testing. We wish to encourage a critical mindset. Here you can find some collaborations.
