Introduction to Economics

Economics is the social science of studying the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services and It is a complex social science that spans from mathematics to psychology. At its most basic, however, economics considers how a society provides for its needs. Its most basic need is survival; which requires food, clothing and shelter. Once those are covered, it can then look at more sophisticated commodities such as services, personal transport, entertainment, the list goes on. Today, this social science known as "Economics" tends to refer only to the type of economic thought which political economists refer to as Neoclassical Economics. It developed in the 18th century based on the idea that Economics can be analysed mathematically and scientifically.

What is Value?
A generally accepted notion of Value is the worth of goods and services as determined by markets. Thus an important part of Economics is the study of policies and activities for the generation and transfer of Value within markets in the form of goods and services. Often a measure for the worth of goods and services is units of currency such as the US Dollar, peso, etc... But, unlike the units of measurements in Physics such as Seconds for Time, there exists no absolute basis for standardizing the units for Value. Usually the value of a currency is related to the value of Gold, which in turn is valued by amount or number of goods and services that it can be exchanged for. Because the rate of production of gold in the world is slower than the rate of creation of goods and services, the relation between gold and currencies is not as strict as it used to be.

Thus, one of the most complicated and most often misunderstood parts of economy is the concept of value. One of the big problems is the large number of different types of values that seem to exist, such as exchange-value, surplus-value, use-value

The discussion of values all start with one simple question: What is something worth?

Today's most common answer is one of those answers that are so deceptively simple that it seems obvious when you know it. But then remember that it took economists more than a hundred years to figure it out: Something is worth whatever you think it is worth. In 1st century BC, Publilius Syrus wrote: "Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it".

This statement needs some explanation. Take as an example two companies that are thinking of buying a new copying machine. One company does not think they will use a copying machine that much, but the other knows it will copy a lot of papers. This second company will be prepared to pay more for a copying machine than the first one. They find different utility in the object.

The companies also have a choice of models. The first company knows that many of the papers will need to be copied on both sides. The second company knows that very few of the papers it copies will need double sided copying. Of course, the second company will not pay much more for this, while the first company will. In this example, we see that a buyer will be prepared to pay more for the increase in utility compared to alternative products.

But how does the seller value things? Well, in pretty much the same way. Of course, most sellers today do not intend to use the object he sells himself. The utility for the seller is not as an object of usage, but as a source of income. And here again it is marginal utility that comes in. For which price can you sell the object? If you put in some more work, can you get a higher price?

Here we also get into the resellers utility. Somebody who deals in trading will look at an object, and the utility for him is to be able to sell it again. How much work will it take, and what margins are possible?

So not only do the two different buyers have a different value on an object, the salesman puts his value on it, and the original manufacturer may have put yet another value on it. The value depends on the person who does the valuation, it is subjective.

So, how do all these subjective values turn into the price? To understand that, we must take a look at the place where things are bought and sold: /The market/.

The Market
A market is an often national but increasingly international legally, autonomous or semi-autonomous, defined place, system or arrangement. Where economic agents (producers, facilitators, sellers, buyers, investors and speculators, etc) come into close contact with each other for the purpose of economic transactions. Not only can it simply consist on a limited electronic marketplace such as eBay but in its broader sense markets are aggregated specific around their rules or intrinsic uniqueness. The things that congregates agents or product(s).

We can for instance refer to the wine market (that is specific without more context to all the things related to the national wine economy) but we can also specify the global Porto market (that is specific to a specific type of wine, national regarding the Porto brand) to congregate its global economic agents.

Setting a price
An object's Value, worth and utility is not something fixed, but instead a subjective property of the object. This subjectivity may be a bit surprising, it is easy to imagine that something must have an objective worth being bought and sold. However this is not the case, in fact, it's the opposite.

When somebody has an item to sell, he puts a value on this item, and will not sell under that value. Likewise, when somebody wants to buy something, he will put a value on the object, and will not pay more than this. If these valuations overlap, so that the buyer's valuation is higher than the seller's valuation, the object will be sold. If the seller's valuation is higher than the buyer's, the buyer will simply say "it's not worth it" or the seller will say "it's worth more than that" and no deal will be made.

Of course, you don't haggle about price every time you buy a candy bar, but you still agree on a price. It's just that the store owner has put up a sign with a price, and you can either accept it or reject it. Neither you nor him want to haggle about something that just costs eighty cents, because it's simply not worth the effort. So even though haggling is not a necessary part of the pricing, both the buyer and seller agrees on the price, and both think they are better off after the exchange. Think about this: If you would think you would be worse off after buying something, would you buy it? Of course not, so buying and selling is an act done by free will. (Unless of course somebody is pointing a gun at you, but then it's not buying and selling, but stealing.)

Now, we know that the price ends up somewhere between the seller's valuation of the item and the buyer's valuation of the item. The question of what the price of an item will be, therefore depends on these valuations. What, then will these valuations depend on?

If an object had an intrinsic, objective worth, and both seller and buyer were aware of it(and had the same preferences, or valuation), the buyer's and seller's valuation of the object would never overlap, and no deal would ever be cut, because the seller would never be willing to sell it at a price less than the objective worth [or else he would be in loss] and the buyer would never be willing to buy it at a cost higher than the objective worth [why would he?], and hence, nobody would ever sell or buy anything. The subjectiveness of value is necessary for things to be sold and bought at all.

Free and Regulated markets
The description above is of a free market, where anyone can buy and sell, and where price is set by buyer and seller alone. This is not always the case. Instead many markets are regulated.

While the national government may hold the ultimate control over national affairs, at least to some degree, depending on its level of political/economical independency, often it will delegate the power to private or non-governmental public authorities, even to supra national or international institutions to oversee the regulatory needs, internationally there may be also be other regulations due to treaties and accords.

A form of sanctioned bureaucratic approval is often necessary to limit either the people involved or the prices or both, or to make sure the action/function is not a danger to others. For example, not everyone is allowed to sell medicine, claim to be a doctor or drive a taxi. But it goes beyond public security, it can be generalized primarily as a way to protect special interest groups, more than the good of the general public. Regulated markets include for instance valuable metals, currency, weapons, technical functions (practice of medicine, drug production, prescription, sale) and even educational accreditation and technology. This regulations can take many shapes, for example the control of prices, movement/transfer, establishing of quality and quantity gradients and the freedom and requirements to practice a job/function.

Of course, it can be said today that all markets are regulated in some way. When the state sets up the rules for making the market function smoothly is not usually seen as making the market non-free, at best it is to exert control (protect, manage), preserve market (social-economic) stability and increase national competitiveness.

Money
Money is such an obvious and integral part of today's society, that it is sometimes difficult to imagine society without it. It's also a very abstract concept, and can be hard to grasp. It comes in many forms, from special types of sea-shells, to pigs, and via the paper and coin system to digital blips in a computer. But what is money, really?

As we have seen, people value things differently. But communicating this value to somebody else is a problem. The only way you can communicate this value is by comparing it with other things. But since all others, just like you, have subjective values, it becomes complex and confusing. This gets evident if we look at how value impacts on barter

The complexities of barter
When exchanging goods by barter, you need to find something you want more than something you have, while the person you barter with has to value the thing you have more than the thing you want. There are four individual valuations that must match.

An example might clear things up: If what you really want is some shoes, and the thing you have that you want to get rid of is a chair, you have to find a shoemaker that needs a chair, or you will not get any shoes. Say that the shoemaker instead needs a lamp. Then you can find somebody else that needs a chair, and has a lamp, barter that, and then go to the shoemaker.

Now, the big problem here is that when you are to value the lamp, it is no longer what you think of the lamp that is important. It's what the shoemaker thinks of the lamp. You need to guess its average value, so that you can be reasonably sure that the shoemaker will want it. The effect of this is that you pretty much need to know how people value almost everything, since you'll be forced into bartering almost everything.

This type of direct barter system may seem to some as not very efficient, but in fact may be extremely efficient if done in the proper context and with the needed infrastructures, especially in today technological world. The reason we don't do it like that ? Well, we can only state that it is not the general norm. There are plenty of communities that still use barter systems. Bartering is also the system that is adopted as soon as any other more complex system fails or loses trust. But due to the way trade evolved with the appearance of larger markets and adoption of currency the need of an increased level of economic control and taxation become evident to ruling classes and inevitable beyond the level of city states.

The essence of money
So in essence, money is a common value system. It quantifies the value of an object in a way that everyone understands, and it makes communicating with others simpler. Instead of weighing the values of the shoes against the lamp against the chair, you can set a number on it. You can say that your chair is worth five units, the lamp maker can value his lamp to three units and the shoemaker thinks his shoes are worth four units. We can now instantly and easily compare values. Trading suddenly got much easier.

But that's not all. With a common value system that is based on exchangeable entities, we can exchange these entities as payment. You can now go down with your chair to the market, sell the chair to the highest bidder, and then go with your money to the shoemaker, and buy a couple of shoes. The shoemaker in turn takes the money and goes to the lamp maker. No longer do you need to evaluate the average market value of the lamp, or cut three-way deals. All you need to do is find somebody that is willing to pay what you think your chair is worth, and find a pair of shoes that is cheap enough for you.

And it doesn't even end there! Money can be stored because it does not rot like wood or rust like steel. If you have a source of income that is seasonal you can keep the money you make during high-season and buy food with it during low season.

So money is simply a common value system based on exchangeable entities. But this simple concept makes life much less complicated in so many ways.

Supply and Demand
The principle of supply and demand is one of the best-known principles of economic theory. It was first posited by Jean-Baptiste Say, an 18th-century Classical Political Economist who suggested that demand and supply are interrelated. His theory was that the more people want something, the higher the demand is for it and the more they will value it. So if something is in low supply but in high demand the value is increased, as it will decrease if there is an abundance or a low demand for the that item. For example: There are 100 dolls and 400 people that want those dolls. Since there are more people than there are dolls, people will pay more money for them.

Alfred Marshall, a famous neoclassical economist, went further in the mid-20th century and developed a mathematical model of supply and demand. The two variables in this theory are price and quantity. The forces of demand and supply are prominent in determining the price of a commodity.

DEMAND- Is the amount of a good that will be bought at given prices over a period of time.

SUPPLY- Is the amount of a good that sellers are prepared to sell at a given price. MARKET SYSTEM/ PRICE MECHANISM- Is the automatic determination of prices and the allocation of resources by the operation of markets in the economy.

PRICE- Is the amount of money goods are exchanged for in a transaction.

Capital
Capitalism, as its name suggests, is based on the ownership of capital. What is capital? Basically, capital is anything that can be traded for something else. Any amount of money is capital, as it can be traded for a huge variety of things. Personal items are also capital because they can be sold; houses, cars, and other bizarre items fall under this category. The ability to work can also be considered capital, or labour-power.

Karl Marx first posited that perhaps there was something that separated capital into two broad categories. Some capital is bought, and then the value is fixed; this applies for an item of clothing or food, for instance. Some may lose value and depreciate; cars fall into this category. Some capital, however, can actually produce more capital which can then be sold; this, he argued, is real capital. For example, if you have a cookie-stamper and a van, some flour, butter, and other cookie ingredients, with that capital, you could produce cookies and ship them around in the van selling them for a profit, albeit small.

HMS Otus (S18)

HMS Otus was a Royal Navy Oberon-class submarine launched in 1962. She was decommissioned in the early 1990s and is now a museum ship in Germany.

Design and construction
The Oberon class was a direct follow on of the Porpoise class, with the same dimensions and external design, but updates to equipment and internal fittings, and a higher grade of steel used for fabrication of the pressure hull.

As designed for British service, the Oberon-class submarines were 241 ft in length between perpendiculars and 295.2 ft in length overall, with a beam of 26.5 ft, and a draught of 18 ft. Displacement was 1,610 tons standard, 2,030 tons full load when surfaced, and 2,410 tons full load when submerged. Propulsion machinery consisted of 2 Admiralty Standard Range 16 VTS diesel generators, and two 3,000 shp electric motors, each driving a 7 ft 3-bladed propeller at up to 400 rpm. Top speed was 17 kn when submerged, and 12 kn on the surface. Eight 21 in diameter torpedo tubes were fitted (six facing forward, two aft), with a total payload of 24 torpedoes. The boats were fitted with Type 186 and Type 187 sonars, and an I-band surface search radar. The standard complement was 68: 6 officers, 62 sailors.

Otus was laid down by Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company on 31 May 1961, and launched on 17 October 1962. Sea trials were undertaken in Scottish waters, mainly Loch Long and Loch Fyne. The boat was commissioned into the Royal Navy on 5 October 1963.

Operational history
The first commission of Otus included large-scale missile trial exercises in the Atlantic Ocean and visits to the United States and Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Otus attended the 1977 Silver Jubilee Fleet Review off Spithead when she was part of the Submarine Flotilla.

In July 1987, a team of British, Commonwealth and international submariners took part in trials in Bjornafjorden, near Bergen, Norway, aboard Otus. They ran a series of progressively deeper escapes, starting at 30 m. At 90 m, individuals started to drop out. At the end of the trials two submariners reached a depth of 183 m. This set a new world record which to date has not been broken. Of the two record breakers, the first (the commander of the Submarine Escape Training Tower at HMS Dolphin (shore establishment)) was a regular ascent under control. The second, a petty officer instructor from the Submarine Escape Training Tower suffered an emergency release having given the alarm signal whilst flooding up the chamber. It was considered safer and quicker to escape him rather than depressurise and drain down. Both escapees suffered no lasting effects and returned to normal service. Both received military honours of the British Empire in the following years for this act.

Otus was deployed to the Persian Gulf during the 1991 Gulf War under Operation Granby. On her return to Gosport, she was flying a Jolly Roger; the only indication that the submarine had been involved in deploying and recovering Special Air Service and Special Boat Service personnel.

Decommissioning and museum
Otus was decommissioned in the early 1990s and resided at Pound's scrapyard in Portsmouth for several years. She was later purchased by a German entrepreneur, who moored her in the harbour of the town of Sassnitz on the island of Rügen in Germany to act as a floating museum ship.

Michigan Mega Conference

The Michigan Mega Conference was a large high school athletic league comprising twenty-eight schools which disbanded in mid-2009, with its former members either becoming independent or forming their own leagues. Member schools were predominantly located in suburban Wayne County, Michigan, mainly in Downriver. The other schools were located in neighboring Monroe and Washtenaw Counties. The schools were also members of the Michigan High School Athletic Association and compete in the organization's post-season state championships. Depending on the sport, the schools were divided into three or four divisions.

Controversies
When the MEGA conference was formed in 1993, many schools were denied entry into the conference. The repudiated schools alleged that this was because of their large black student population, the founding schools "discriminated in the formation and operation of the league." Consequently, current member schools Dearborn Heights Robichaud and Romulus filed complaints against the conference for denying their admission as members to the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) at the United States Department of Education. OCR determined that the athletic league violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The schools declined a resolution offered by the OCR and subsequently sent the subject to the Justice Department in the summer of 1995. A resolution was succeeded by the eighteen founding members and the Justice Department to include the aforementioned schools and five others (Highland Park, Inkster, River Rouge, Ypsilanti, Ypsilanti Willow Run) encompassing an athletic conference of twenty five schools.

Disbanding
The Mega Conference officially disbanded after the 2008 season after members of the league began to fracture off and form their own conferences, citing a desire to have more geographically centered leagues, as opposed to leagues more focused around the schools' athletic strength.

There were 2 main conferences formed from the ashes of the Mega Conference, with those being the Western Wayne Athletic Conference and the Downriver League. However, a couple of schools chose instead to join the Southeastern Conference, while a few others chose to run an independent schedule.

Talk:Drosophila Sex Determination

From more recent reading concerning sex determination in Drosophila, it has come to my attention that this wiki may be incorrect as there is a new model present for sex determination, which is referred to as the X-counting model.

An abstract may be found here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2855772/

My point: From my understanding, the proposal of the X-counting model is an alternative to the X:A model for sex determination in Drosophila. This would make this wiki article incorrect and would require revision. If someone can look into this and see if a revision is necessary, it would be great.

Nevetlenfolu

Nevetlenfolu (Неветленфолу, Nevetlenfalu, Неветленфолу) is a village in Berehove Raion (district; until 2020, Vynohradiv Raion) in Zakarpattia Oblast of Ukraine as one of its western regions.

Its name in Hungarian language literally means "no-name village". Earlier it was known as Gyakfalva, however it was changed in the 17th century because the first part of the name "gyak" meant sexual intercourse (in Hungarian) and was considered offensive (note, in Slavic languages "dyak" means a secretary/clerk; its Hungarian cognates are the obsolete deák, with the same meaning, and contemporary diák, meaning "student" – all of these from Greek διάκονος). After 1619 the village is mentioned as Nevetlenfalu in the records.

After 1920, the village became part of Czechoslovakia, however in 1938 it was returned to Hungary by the First Vienna Award, along with the southern part of Carpathian Ruthenia. Following the World War II in 1945 Nevetlenfolu became part of the Soviet Union as part of the "unification" of "Zakarpattia Ukraine" and after its breakup it belongs to Ukraine. In 1945–2000 it carried official name of Dyakove. In 2000 the village was officially renamed adopting Ukrainian adaptation of Hungarian name, yet some local state institutions continue to carry name of "Dyakove" such as local border checkpoint, train station, others.

The population of the village in 2001 was over 86% Hungarian-speaking.

Writing a simple greeting bot for MediaWiki/Introduction to MediaWiki scripting access

On this page you will get an introductory overview over how MediaWiki works and in which ways it can be accessed from scripts.

Fundamentals
MediaWiki is a PHP web application based on HTTP. Because of that, scripts communicate with MediaWiki in a series of requests and responses. To get the contents of a page, for example, the script sends a request to the server hosting MediaWiki (e.g. http://en.wikiversity.org/). The server then responds with the page content plus some additional statistical information. Each script action, such as loading or saving a page, requires a new set of requests and responses.

Exercise 1 - A simple C# request
Note: the following code example uses C# and the .NET Framework. The use of an Integrated development environment (IDE) is strongly recommended. For Windows users, Microsoft provides a free C# IDE called Visual C# Express. For Linux and Mac users, there is a free IDE called MonoDevelop available.

In this exercise, we will send a request to retrieve the contents of Wikiversity's main page in a file:

Let's take a closer look at what this code does. We
 * 1) We create an   object to hold the address of the page, in this case Main Page.
 * 2) We create a new HTTP request object by calling WebRequest's Create page with the address of the page we want. If you are not familiar with HTTP at all, I suggest taking a quick peek at HTTP.
 * 3) We then set the user agent and content type headers typical for HTTP requests. Although innocent looking, these are actually quite important: MediaWiki refuses any request which does not provide these two headers.
 * 4) By calling , the request is sent and a response retrieved.
 * 5) We read the content of the response and save it to a local file called "Main page.txt".

If you open the file, you will see the same content that would be shown if you went to Main Page with your browser and look at the source of that page (the menu option is commonly called View source oder Page source in graphic browsers).

Alazán-Apache Courts

Alazán-Apache Courts is a public housing community in San Antonio. The neighborhood is located on the city's West Side, and was built in 1939. It was the first public housing built in the city and is currently made up of three different properties: Alazán, Apache and Guadalupe Homes. It is also one of the first public housing projects in the United States and originally served a predominantly Mexican-American neighborhood.

History
San Antonio had the largest Mexican population in Texas in 1930 and most were unskilled laborers with low-paying jobs. Because of the poverty that most people of Mexican descent lived in, there was a "miserable standard of living." In 1930, only 30% of Mexican Americans were homeowners in San Antonio, as compared to 40% black and 50% white homeowners.

Alazán-Apache Courts was funded by the United States Housing Authority (USHA) in September 1937. It was originally created to house "exclusively Mexican residents." The project had the support of a local priest, Father Carmelo Tranchese, who was the pastor of the Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. He was also one of the five commissioners on the newly created San Antonio Housing Authority (SAHS). The project also had support from Mayor Charles K. Quin, Congressman Fontaine Maury Maverick, the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the new group, Liga de Leales Latinoamericanos (League of Loyal Latin Americans). The funds set aside by the USHA in 1937 were eventually able to be released when the city of San Antonio passed a resolution agreeing to the stipulations of the USHA on May 5, 1938. When the project nearly stalled, Tranchese wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt, describing the conditions of the people in the area and asked for her support. Tranchese's decision to write Roosevelt paid off, with the first lady ensuring that the projects would go ahead. Work began by demolishing the substandard homes already occupying the site. New buildings were constructed in 1939.

The first tenants were allowed to start living in completed buildings in August 1940. The buildings were made of hollow tile and concrete and covered an area of about sixty acres. Rent for the buildings in the community was based on income and by the mid-1940s, there were around 4,500 residents, half of which were children. The buildings had the "rare amenity of a private bathroom." All of the 2,554 single-family units were open to all tenants by the end of 1942. By 1945, there were around 4,994 people living in the project. While the project tried to rehouse people who had been displaced by the projects, families whose income was too high to qualify were not given any help to relocate.

In 1969, the project was described in a piece published by the Arizona Daily Star as a place "where some 6,000 Mexican Americans live in wretched poverty and frequent hunger." Plans to renovate the community went out for a contract bid between four different Mexican American contractors in 1970.

In the 1980s, 99% of the residents were Hispanic and it was claimed that this was due to "voluntary segregation."

During the 1980s and 1990s, conditions in the courts began to become neglected during the crack epidemic which led to increased crime and drug activity.

In the 1990s, it was considered the largest project in San Antonio and faced with issues of serious overcrowding. Some of the buildings were renovated in the 1990s and new buildings were built based on the architecture of the Guadalupe Homes nearby.

In October 2019, a group of Alazan residents appeared before the San Antonio Housing Commission to speak on many issues, citing illegal evictions, excessive fees, false lease violations, and harassment. The tenants, led by the Historic Westside Residents Association, lobby to preserve the Alazan/Apache homes which are currently set to be torn down and replaced with luxury lofts in a mixed income setting that only allows 10% of its residents public housing tenants. The gentrification of the Westside is a growing debate. In 2020, the National Trust for Historic Preservation named the project as one of America's most endangered historic places.

Expedition 50

Expedition 50 was the 50th expedition to the International Space Station.

Robert S. Kimbrough, Andrei Borisenko and Sergey Ryzhikov transferred from Expedition 49. Expedition 50 began upon the departure of Soyuz MS-01 on October 28, 2016 and was concluded upon the departure of Soyuz MS-02 on April 10, 2017. The crew of Soyuz MS-03 were transferred to Expedition 51.

After the launch of Soyuz MS-03, Peggy Whitson, at age 56, became the oldest woman to fly into space. By taking command of Expedition 51 on April 10, 2017, she also became the first woman to command two ISS expeditions (after Expedition 16 in 2007–2008). Soyuz MS-03 docked at the International Space Station on November 19, 2016, bringing the total number of people in the station to 6.

Expedition 49/50 launch and docking
Soyuz MS-02 launched on October 19, 2016, transporting Robert S. Kimbrough, Andrei Borisenko and Sergey Ryzhikov, who would make up the Expedition 49/50 crew. MS-02 docked with the (Poisk (MRM-2) module on October 21, 2016.

Expedition 50/51 launch and docking
Soyuz MS-03 launched on November 17, 2016, transporting Oleg Novitskiy, Peggy Whitson and Thomas Pesquet. MS-03 docked with the Rassvet module on November 19, 2016.

Activities
On 25 December 2016 the crew celebrated Christmas by floating in micro-gravity and opening Christmas presents recently delivered on a Japanese cargo spacecraft.

Xericeps

Xericeps is a genus of pterosaur from the Cenomanian stage of the Late Cretaceous. It was discovered from the Kem Kem Beds of southeastern Morocco.

The name Xericeps comes from the ξερός - meaning dry, referencing the Sahara Desert, in which the pterosaur was first found, and the cep from capere, meaning "to catch" - alluding to the creature's forceps-like beak.

Description
Xericeps is a medium-sized edentulous (toothless) pterosaur. The term 'medium-sized', in the context of pterosaurs, is generally used to describe pterosaurs with a wingspan of 3–8 metres, and it is likely that Xericeps was nearer the lower end of this range.

The holotype specimen is a partial anterior lower jaw, likely broken off right anterior to where the mandibular rami diverged. The jaw is upturned, with the occluding surface curved in lateral view. On the dorsal surface of the mandibular symphysis are a pair of ridges, similar to those seen in Alanqa and Argentinadraco.

Classification
A 2021 study focused on Aerotitan recovers it as a chaoyangopterid closely related to Argentinadraco.

Discovery and naming
The holotype specimen - FSAC-KK-10700 was discovered by local mine workers at Aferdou N'Chaft, a small mesa near the oasis village of Hassi el Begaa in the Errachidia Province in south eastern Morocco on the Algerian border, and consists only of the pterosaur's fragmented jaws. The specimen was purchased directly at the mine site by British palaeontologist David M. Martill in January 2017, and thus it is possible to confidently establish its precise locality and stratigraphic horizon.

It is believed that Xericeps lived in the mid-Cretaceous period around the Albian-Cenomanian ages (93.9-113.0 Ma).

The holotype specimen's species epithet - "curvirostris" - comes from the Latin curvus, meaning "curved" and rostrum meaning snout, or muzzle. This is due to the specimen's noticeably upward-curved beak.

 * During the high empire, a Tribune was above a centurion, but below a legatus. It was the legates who commanded the legions, and determined when, where and with whom they should fight. For notability purposes, there mere supposed existence of a military tribune, who had no other career, either military or political, and who was involved in no conflicts that we are aware of while Tribune, is not sufficient to support the existence of an article devoted to him.

changing the page title
Hi, This article does not inform on "deaths" in the United States, rather, it provides a list of names. Which has nothing to do with the overall and very large theme of "death in the unites states". The names listed is probably a short list of all the people who died in the united states, so the title must reflect this clearly. The title must be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:14, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Filling out bare references with ReFill
I see that someone filled in a bunch of bare references using ReFill in December. However, I see that there are currently a bunch of bare references (that either got missed by that run, or were added subsequently), so I'm running it again. Part of my motivation is a morbid fascination with how long of a page ReFill can handle: I started running it at 12:48:50 and as of 12:53 it has stalled out around May 15 with a backend error. jp×g 19:54, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I guess it can just be run until it drops with a backend error, saved, and run again to process a new batch (somewhere between 60 - 70 references, which is around a month). I'll be writing down the run times in my edit summaries, for anyone who is interested in this. jp×g 22:03, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Biblical Studies/New Testament Commentaries/1 John/Chapter 1

What follows is a personalized account and in no way reflects the views of the sponsor:

v 1 John was a trustworthy witness because he relates what he himself saw, touched and heard. His entire life was changed by his experience with Jesus, and even decades later, in his old age and near death, he is preoccupied with telling people about it. At this point John has seen ten of his fellow apostles killed for their faith but he keeps on professing up to the very end. An entire community was based on what he and others had witnessed, and it is to this community, the church, that John is addressing his letter.
 * For those seeking a historical-critical approach, I offer the following notes: The text of 1 Jn does not identify its author, nor is there any mention in the text of anyone named John nor of any apostle(s).  Moreover, the author does not use the first person singular "I," but writes about what "we" (first person plural ) have heard, seen, looked upon, and touched.  No apostles are mentioned in the text nor, consequently, anything about their lives or martyrdoms.

v 2 Before meeting Jesus, John, a faithful Jew, was spiritually dead. It was only through Jesus that he was able to feel set free from his old way of life. Now this was an experience shared by thousands of Christians who received his letter: leaving death for life, leaving an existence marked by shallowness and lack of fulfillment for a new life of constant struggle but of soul-felt happiness. The old life was life only in that his body existed and functioned, but was without hope. His new life begins on the earth and continues into eternity with God. Life came only through Jesus, sent by God from heaven to earth to bring hope to a people who had none. Life was manifested first to John and his companions, then through them to many more people who had come to faith in Christ and who had left behind their old lifestyle and united with the radically different lifestyle of the church.

 * This letter doesn't suggest that its author was a converted Jew. There is no maligning of Judaism as hopeless, shallow, or anything else, inasmuch as Judaism isn't mentioned in the letter.

v 3 John announced the message to the people to help them be united with him as he was united with God. Without the message or the preaching, the people would not be united with God or with the apostles. John proclaims that no-one would be close to God, since Jesus is the only path to God in a darkened world (Jn 14:6).

v 4 John enjoyed what he did and it was a pleasure for him to write to his flock. He saw people’s lives change as they drew close to God. Thus writing helped him to complete his happiness, which would be incomplete if he didn’t help those around him draw closer to God or if those who had been close to God drifted away.

v 5 The message: God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. Light is freedom from sin and ignorance; light is understanding, enlightenment, and spiritual maturity. Darkness is a symbol of sin, lies, and death. As God has no darkness, the Christian should not permit sin in his or her life.

v 6 Saying we are united with him: that is, the Christians. Anyone in the church who lives in lies or unrepentant or unconfessed sin lives in darkness, futilely, trying to hide his actions from men, but unable to hide them from God. This is to have stepped away from the truth and be once again in opposition to God and his will. This drives a barrier between one Christian and the others, is a break of faith and is not what God or John want.

v 7 No Christian, nor any human, has never sinned (Rom 3:9-20) and no Christian can avoid sin completely even after coming to know God (v 8). However, to be close to God a person needs to be purified, and that happens only through the blood of Jesus. This allows Christians to be united one with the other and live in the light, with God.

v 8 Some in John’s audience liked to think that they had no sin. They were mistaken and fooling themselves. Not only that, but they had stepped away from God’s truth, because John says that such a person has no truth in him. We must recognize our sins before God to be close to him and for there to be truth in us.

v 9 What should we do about our sins? John’s answer for his flock was clear: confess them. A person is not right before God by behaving well, as no-one is able to live up to God’s perfection. Unfortunately, every living person sins (v 8, Rom 3:9) and needs forgiveness. God, who is just, forgives the sins of the Christian who asks it. Besides this, God cleans the Christian of wrongdoing, helping him to leave behind sinful and destructive tendencies.

v 10 In the case of a Christian who claims he has not sinned, this in itself is a grave sin as it makes God out to be a liar. This reveals that the person has not come to a true relationship with God, as he has not accepted God’s word.

Chinese House (Potsdam)

The Chinese House (German: Chinesisches Haus) is a garden pavilion in Sanssouci Park in Potsdam, Germany. Frederick the Great had it built, about seven hundred metres southwest of the Sanssouci Summer Palace, to adorn his flower and vegetable garden. The garden architect was Johann Gottfried Büring, who between 1755 and 1764 designed the pavilion in the then-popular style of Chinoiserie, a mixture of ornamental rococo elements and parts of Chinese architecture.

The unusually long building time of nine years is attributed to the Seven Years' War, during which Prussia's economic and financial situation suffered significantly. Only after the end of the war in 1763 were the chambers inside the pavilion furnished. As the building served not only as a decorative piece of garden architecture but also as a setting for small social events, Frederick the Great ordered the building of a Chinese Kitchen, a few metres south-east of the Chinese House. After a conversion in 1789, only the hexagonal windows show the Oriental character of the former outbuilding. A few years later, the Dragon House was built in the form of a Chinese pagoda on the northern edge of Sanssouci Park bordering Klausberg. The building was Frederick the Great's attempt to follow the Chinese fashion of the 18th century, which began in France before spreading to England, Germany, and Russia.

Chinoiserie
In the 17th century, Dutch traders brought Chinese mother-of-pearl, lacquer, silks and porcelain to Europe. In the noble courts of the baroque era, an interest in Oriental arts grew during the rococo period into Chinoiserie, a genuine fashion for all things Chinese. In addition to the enthusiasm for Asian luxury goods which harmonized with the certain forms of rococo, travelogues and exhibitions portrayed the carefree living of the Chinese, which corresponded with the European courts' ideal of a relaxed lifestyle. Whole rooms of palaces were decorated with porcelain, small Chinese-style furniture and wall murals which presented the ideal world that was supposedly China.

Architecture
Frederick the Great modeled the Chinese House on the Maison du trèfle, a 1738 pavilion in the garden of the Palace of Lunéville, Lorraine. This trefoil-shaped building was created by the French architect Emmanuel Héré de Corny for the Duke of Lorraine, Stanislaus I, former King of Poland, who lived in exile in France. An exemplar of one of the etchings of the Maison published by Héré in 1753 was in the possession of Frederick the Great.

Outer design
The Chinese House has the shape of a trefoil. The rounded central building contains three cabinet rooms regularly interspersed with free spaces. Rounded windows and French windows that reach almost to the ground let light into the pavilion's interior. The rolling tented copper ceiling is supported in the free space by four gilded sandstone columns, the work of the Swiss ornamental sculptor Johann Melchior Kambly, who was in the employ of Frederick the Great from 1746.

The gilded sandstone sculptures that sit at the feet of the columns and stand at the walls of the rooms originate from the workshops of the sculptors Johann Gottlieb Heymüller (ca. 1715–1763) and Johann Peter Benckert (1709-1769). People from the area stood as models for the eating, drinking and music-making Chinese figures, which explains the statues' European features.

The cupola crowning the roof is surmounted by a gilded Chinese figure with an open parasol. Friedrich Jury created it in copper after a design by the sculptor Benjamin Giese. Light falls into the central chamber through the long oval window openings of the cupola as it does through the windows in the façade.

Interior design
The wall of the circular central chamber, accessible by the north side, is coated with stucco marble. Monkeys with musical instruments worked in stucco over the French windows, brackets holding porcelain and wall sconces between the windows are all coated with gold leaf. Likewise coated is a richly decorated chandelier which hangs from the cupola.

The ceiling painting on the higher circuit of the room is the work of Thomas Huber, dating from 1756. Huber also painted the ceilings of the empty chambers on the exterior surface. The plans of the French artist Blaise Nicholas Le Sueur, who taught as an art master at the Berlin Academy of Arts, served as a model for the interior. The ceiling paintings show Oriental men behind a balustrade, some looking into the room, others chatting with one another. They are surrounded by parrots, monkeys and Buddhas sitting on posts.

The walls between the central room and the adjoining chambers are decorated with brightly coloured, silken wall coverings painted with floral patterns, at the time a desired and valuable wall textile known as "Pekings". As may be seen here, Frederick the Great preferred to use for the interiors of his buildings only the highest quality materials manufactured by Prussian silk factories. Small fragments of this wall covering were used as a model for the reconstruction of the original during a restoration of 1990–1993.

Cookbook:Fried Eggs

| Breakfast

Fried eggs, a popular breakfast dish in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe, take about 5 minutes to prepare. They are often served with toast or with other fried dishes.

Ingredients

 * 2 teaspoons butter or olive oil
 * 2–3 large eggs, depending on appetite
 * Salt to taste
 * Pepper to taste (optional)

Equipment

 * Small (10-inch) frying pan
 * Spatula
 * Gas ring, at medium heat

Procedure

 * 1) Melt the butter in the pan over low to medium heat.
 * 2) Crack open the eggs into the pan and let fry until the yolks begin to harden at the edges (indicated by a lightening in the yolk color).
 * 3) Using the spatula, flip the eggs over and allow to cook 10 seconds for over-easy, 30 seconds for over-medium, or up to 1 minute for over-hard.
 * 4) Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * [[Image:Fried egg, sunny side up.jpg|thumb|right|Sunny side-up fried egg]]It often considered a cardinal sin to allow the yolk of an egg to break (although some prefer fried eggs with broken yolks). If the cook ensures that the eggs are fresh the yolks will be more 'pert', and less liable to break.
 * For sunny side-up eggs, do not flip the eggs. Use a slightly lower heat, and cover the pan with a lid for some of the cooking period. An ideal sunny side-up has a runny yolk, but the white should be cooked.
 * Uncooked egg white (often called jelly) is normally unwanted and less-preferred than a partially cooked yolk, so err on the side of overcooking rather than undercooking the eggs.
 * For a richer taste, try sprinkling the egg with grated Parmesan or freshly-chopped basil and chives.
 * When frying eggs for sandwiches, rolls or wraps, it is often a good idea to break the yolks. This increases the coverage of yolk so that every bite gets some yolk, and it prevents uncooked yolk dripping out.

Warnings

 * Many people prefer their eggs only partially cooked. Please see the egg ingredient page for possible health concerns of eating raw eggs.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Lips Are Movin/archive2

Lips Are Movin

 * Nominator(s): NØ 03:24, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

This article is about "Lips Are Movin", the second single by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor. Its music video was the first to feature social media influencers in it as we know them today, with a Billboard author describing it as a "historic milestone in the realm of YouTube creators". While the song drew widespread comparisons to Trainor's debut number-one hit, it eviscerated any doubts about Trainor being a one-hit-wonder as she became just the fifth female artist to follow her debut number-one single directly with a second top-five hit. The article has received two peer reviews and a failed FAC in the past. Although I've rewritten basically everything after the Trainor bio became an FA, so this one should go more smoothly. I appreciate any comments and am open to doing QPQ for anyone who may support this nomination. I will ping Jaguar and SNUGGUMS to let them know about this nomination as prior peer reviewers. Cheers--NØ 03:24, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Oppose
Just skimmed through the lede, and here are my concerns:
 * MTV News premiered the song on October 15, 2014. Epic Records released it as the second single from the album on October 21, 2014 → Does this mean that the premiere by MTV News is unorthodox?
 * It was an official premiere. Hopefully changing it to "Epic Records released it for digital download" makes this simpler to understand. Open to suggestions.

 * Music critics widely compared it to Trainor's debut single "All About That Bass" (2014) → In what aspects (i.e. the musical style?)
 * Yes, elaborated.

 * reviews for the song were mixed → Ditto; this needs some details (i.e. some liked the sound but others did not)
 * Done.

 * The song's multi-platinum certifications in Australia and the US can be helpful in the lede
 * Done.

 * the video was viewed 2.5 million times on YouTube within two days and received positive reviews → Not sure if the view count is notable; ditto for how positive the reviews were
 * Removed.

 * Trainor has performed "Lips Are Movin" on several shows, including Today, The Voice, and Dancing with the Stars. It was also performed during Trainor's 2015 That Bass and MTrain Tours, and The Untouchable Tour (2016). → These two sentences can be merged
 * Done.

— HĐ (talk) 08:47, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Wow, thank you so much for the swift comments. The lead already looks so much better. I'm excited for the rest of your review :)--NØ 09:54, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

The article overall is in pretty good shape, though prose concerns exist. Continued:
 * Music critics widely compared its musical style – girl-group harmonies and bubblegum pop hooks – to Trainor's debut single "All About That Bass" (2014); and reviews for the song were mixed, with some critics thinking that the similarities signaled commercial success for the former, but others criticizing the songs for following the same formula → this is over-complex and could be divided into two/three sentences
 * Split.

 * Was Trainor working with the Nashville publishing company? I think some context on this is needed
 * Yes, she was signed to them. I added this. Let me know if you think I should mention her indie albums here too.

 * He has spoken fondly → I prefer past simple tense
 * Done.

 * surfaced online → Do you mean leak?
 * Yes :)

 * and released it for digital download in various countries → Was it released the same day with the US release? Plus "various countries" appear to be European countries
 * By my understanding, it was digitally released everywhere on the same day, except UK. Here are the refs for China and South Africa. Might be overkill to add it all in the article though.

 * In the former country, the song was made available to those who pre-ordered Title → The source is for Australia, though?
 * Removed it altogether. The second ref states "Album Only" which is enough for verification.

 * being held back till January 18 → Why was the release delayed?
 * It can be assumed it was to push pre-orders for Title, but this information as such hasn't been stated by any source and is WP:SYNTH.

 * "Lips Are Movin" is a doo-wop and pop song that lasts for three minutes and one second. → This is a case of WP:SYNTH
 * Fixed this.

 * There have been concerns over reliability of Musicnotes.com, as anyone can post their arrangements of songs onto the website. I don't insist on removing it, but please pay extra care to this.
 * With "4 Minutes", "Diamonds", and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", all using this source, I would say it's more common among music FAs to use it than to not.

— HĐ (talk) 05:05, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Addressed all. Left some replies above.--NØ 11:02, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

I regret to oppose for now; the prose is yet not up to FA quality in my opinion. I have pointed out some examples above, and below are a few of my concerns, which is by no means exhaustive:
 * "Lips Are Movin" received widespread comparisons to "All About That Bass" from music critics.[27][28] → I am not sure if two sources equate to "widespread"; plus this comparison has already been mentioned in the Composition section. I get that the majority of the reviews compare this song to it predecessor, but citing two sources for this claim is SYNTH unless there is a source explicitly saying so. Otherwise, I recommend removing the bit
 * There are upwards of 10 sources comparing the two songs, not just two. It would just be WP:OVERKILL to put them all after this sentence. Basically 90% of this section is a testament to the comparisons.

 * a catchy ladies' anthem → This sounds awkward
 * I will work on fixing this.

 * Lengthy quotes such as "She's versatile, confident, vulnerable and smart, something everyone should already know based on 'Lips Are Movin." can be shortened or paraphrased
 * I will try to paraphrase it, but it is composed of mostly adjectives so that will be hard.

 * t it reminding him of Christina Aguilera's "What a Girl Wants" (1999) saved it from being a "complete mess" → grammar; plus I don't know what this means
 * The author wrote this. For some reason the song's similarities to "What a Girl Wants" are what saved it from being "a complete mess" according to him.

 * The Critical reception section is very bloated; try grouping the reviews into similar themes (i.e. Those complimented the song's production included A, B, C. Those who criticized the similarity to its predecessor included D, E, F)
 * I will try doing this.

 * Some opinions don't really need to be quoted (i.e. writing that it "strictly adheres to the same beat sheet as its predecessor" / the two songs are "nearly interchangeable"). They are just the same opinion reiterated multiple times
 * I will take this into account while rewriting.

 * Clash remark on the song's "pseudo-feminist" theme is worth discussing at the Composition section
 * Will do.

 * The Teen Choice Awards is by no means a critical or academic award
 * Will remove.

 * The Reception of the Music video section is mainly comprised of positive reviews, while the headlines of some (most notably "Meghan Trainor's 'Lips are Movin' and the art of corporate patronage") seem to potentially provide varying perspectives on the video's production and relation to the excessive corporate environment, as well as apparently some criticism. That said I'm not seeing any of that discussed.
 * Will look into this.

I apologize for not having taken part in the peer review (which I barely noticed), but the prose needs more polishing for FA quality. It'd be great if copyedit can finalize within days to prepare for FAC, but I don't think FAC is the place to address issues that could have been resolved elsewhere. I will oppose for now, but will take a second look after a few days to check up on the progress. Cheers, HĐ (talk) 04:38, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I understand that this specific FAC is doomed now, so I'll try it later after working on your concerns.--NØ 05:12, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Media review

 * I will assume good faith that File:KK color pic.jpg is the uploader's own work as claimed, and all other media is fine per my comments here. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 12:31, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for this ;) --NØ 04:13, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Withdrawal
With some extensive concerns being pointed out by HĐ, I will withdraw this nomination for now and attempt later. Thank you, .--NØ 05:14, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Louis Bernacchi
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Louis Bernacchi's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "craig1885": From Chatham (UK Parliament constituency):  From Widnes (UK Parliament constituency):

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 15:57, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

USA-64

USA-64, also known as GPS II-9 and GPS SVN-15, was an American navigation satellite which formed part of the Global Positioning System. It was the last of nine Block II GPS satellites to be launched, which were the first operational GPS satellites to fly. It was also the last Block II satellite to be retired from service.

Background
Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense to provide all-weather round-the-clock navigation capabilities for military ground, sea, and air forces. Since its implementation, GPS has also become an integral asset in numerous civilian applications and industries around the globe, including recreational used (e.g., boating, aircraft, hiking), corporate vehicle fleet tracking, and surveying. GPS employs 24 spacecraft in 20,200 km circular orbits inclined at 55.0°. These vehicles are placed in 6 orbit planes with four operational satellites in each plane.

GPS Block 2 was the operational system, following the demonstration system composed of Block 1 (Navstar 1 - 11) spacecraft. These spacecraft were 3-axis stabilized, nadir pointing using reaction wheels. Dual solar arrays supplied 710 watts of power. They used S-band (SGLS) communications for control and telemetry and Ultra high frequency (UHF) cross-link between spacecraft. The payload consisted of two L-band navigation signals at 1575.42 MHz (L1) and 1227.60 MHz (L2). Each spacecraft carried 2 rubidium and 2 Cesium clocks and nuclear detonation detection sensors. Built by Rockwell Space Systems for the U.S. Air force, the spacecraft measured 5.3 m across with solar panels deployed and had a design life of 7.5 years.

Launch
USA-64 was launched at 21:56:00 UTC on 1 October 1990, atop a Delta II launch vehicle, flight number D199, flying in the 6925 configuration. The launch took place from Launch Complex 17A (LC-17A) at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), and placed USA-64 into a transfer orbit. The satellite raised itself into medium Earth orbit using a Star-37XFP apogee motor.

Mission
On 31 October 1990, USA-64 was in an orbit with a perigee of 19972 km, an apogee of 20390 km, a period of 717.94 minutes, and 54.9° of inclination to the equator. It operated in slot 5 of plane D of the GPS constellation. The satellite had a mass of 840 kg, and generated 710 watts of power. It had a design life of 7.5 years, having been added from active service on 17 November 2006 for testing, and ceased operations on 14 March 2007.
