Cookbook:Paella Valenciana

| Cuisine of Spain | Rice Recipes

Paella Valenciana and its seafood variation are authentic Valencian recipes that originated in their modern form in the early 1800s in Spain's Valencian region near lake Albufera. Prior to the 19th century the ingredients for Valencian paella varied greatly with the most unusual being marsh rat. Valencians consider only Valencian paella and seafood paella as true paellas. They view all other variations as impostors. This recipe is based on the ones provided on the Wikipaella.org website, which includes the recipes of prominent Valencian chefs.

Please read Paella cooking techniques before attempting this recipe.

Equipment

 * 38-centimeter (15-inch) paellera
 * 7.6-liter (2-gallon) pot
 * Rice skimmer
 * Sharp chopping knife for meat and vegetables
 * Large serving spoon
 * Clean, white towel large enough to cover the paellera
 * Wide heating source such as:
 * Stove large enough to accommodate the size of the paellera
 * Gas burner designed specifically for paelleras
 * Charcoal barbecue
 * Low, forged steel tripod to support the paellera over a wood or charcoal fire
 * Cinder blocks or heat-resistant bricks to support the paellera over a wood or charcoal fire

Ingredients

 * 500 g (17.5 ounces) chicken
 * 500 g (17.5 ounces) rabbit or duck
 * 20 g (0.75 ounce) salt
 * 8 tablespoons olive oil
 * 250 g (10 ounces) chopped green bell peppers (optional)
 * 1 clove garlic (optional)
 * 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
 * 500 g (17.5 ounces) diced or grated tomatoes
 * 2 liters (2 quarts) water (preferably hard water)
 * 24 boiled snails (optional)
 * 125 g (4.5 ounces) large haricot beans (canned or fresh)
 * 100 g (3.5 ounces) small haricot beans (canned or fresh)
 * 125 g (4.5 ounces) fresh runner beans or green beans
 * 8–10 threads of saffron and/or 1½ teaspoons yellow food coloring (see notes)
 * 400 g (14 ounces) calasparra rice, bomba rice, or pearl rice
 * 6–8 branches of fresh rosemary

Procedure

 * 1) Clean the snails, poultry and rabbit thoroughly. Cut the poultry and rabbit into small pieces and salt them generously.
 * 2) Pour olive oil in a paellera and, when hot, sauté the poultry and rabbit pieces until golden brown.
 * 3) Add green peppers and sauté for 1 minute. Add the garlic and sauté until brown. Be careful; garlic burns easily.
 * 4) Once the garlic is brown, add the paprika followed quickly by the tomatoes to prevent the paprika from burning. Sauté until the tomatoes become dark and pulpy and the mixture has reduced a bit.
 * 5) Add the water and bring it to a rolling boil. Then add the snails, fresh haricot beans (if canned, continue reading to see when to add these), runner beans, and saffron (and/or food coloring). Allow the mixture to boil for 10 minutes over a high flame. Sweep a rosemary branch through the broth for no longer than 30 seconds and then remove it.
 * 6) After 10 minutes have passed, you should have a flavorful broth. It's customary at this point to allow your dinner guests to taste it. The purpose is to determine if the broth needs more salt. If so, add more salt, a pinch at a time, until everybody is satisfied.
 * 7) Add the rice and stir it using the rice skimmer. Then, once again with the skimmer, spread the rice over the bottom of the paellera. The coating of rice should be one centimeter thick. Let it cook over a high flame for 10 minutes.
 * 8) Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for 4 minutes. Add the canned haricot beans, reduce the heat again to low, and let it simmer for another 4 minutes. Taste the rice frequently to determine when it's fully cooked. You'll know it's done when it's slightly firm to the bite. Italians use a similar approach when cooking pasta, which they refer to as al dente.
 * 9) At this point, there should be some toasted rice sticking to the bottom of the pan. This is a delicacy in Valencia called socarrat. If no socarrat has developed, increase the flame to high and listen for the crackling sound of rice toasting at the bottom.
 * 10) Remove the pan from the heat when the rice is almost dry, and place the unused rosemary branches on top. Cover with a clean, white towel (a white towel prevents dye from leeching onto the paella) and wait 5 minutes before serving to allow the rice to absorb the remaining broth.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * Throughout history, saffron has been the natural ingredient used in Spain to color rice yellow. However, it's very expensive because it's labor-intensive to process, and each saffron crocus yields a minuscule amount of saffron. Consequently, supermarkets sell only a few grams per container. Cooks and chefs in Spain (and throughout Latin America) solve this problem by using yellow food coloring, sometimes mixed with seasoning, which is much more affordable.

Shay Neary

Shay Neary is an American fashion model. She is known as the first transgender plus-size model to be featured in a major fashion campaign.

Neary was born and raised in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. During high school, she identified as a gay man, and performed in drag. A transgender friend of her mother suggested to Neary that she might also be trans.

Neary attended Keystone College in northeastern Pennsylvania, and started her transition to female during her freshman year there. In 2012, she received the Outstanding Leadership Award from the Rainbow Alliance. Neary later moved to New York, as she had difficulty accessing hormones while in college.

In 2016, Neary was signed by the fashion brand Coverstory, becoming the first openly trans plus-size model to land a major campaign. Coverstory founder Heidi Kan found Neary through the Transmodel agency after a lengthy search. In 2017, Neary came to the UK to model for the plus-size brand Yours Clothing.

Neary has spoken out against transphobia and fat-shaming she has experienced in online dating communities.

Leslie Driffield

Leslie Driffield (1912–1988) was an English world champion player of English billiards. He won the World Amateur Billiards Championship title twice, in 1952 and 1967; and the Billiards and Snooker Control Council version of the world professional championship, played on a challenge basis, in 1971 and 1973.

Early career and English Amateur Championship title
Driffield started playing billiards aged 12, and was making breaks by 13. His day job was as an executive at an Ellerby Foundry Ltd in Leeds, where his father was chairman. He learnt on a 6x3 foot table at home, then played and practised at the YMCA for 23 years, before winning his first English Amateur Championship title. He was coached by George Nelson, and won the Yorkshire Championship in 1937, 1938, 1950, and 1951, and the Leeds Championship in 1949.

In the 1952 English Amateur Championship final against Herbert Beetham, a mineral water manufacturer, Driffield was 98 points behind when his came off and he had to use his reserve cue. In his first six using the reserve cue he scored a total of only 31 points, compared to his average score per visit of 36.4 in the previous session. Beetham increased his lead to 271, but Driffield fought back, with the help of a 142 break, to be 174 behind at the end of that session. At the end of the match, Driffield was the victor by 101 points, 2,894–2,793.

World Amateur Championship
Following an appeal by the Billiards and Snooker Control Council (B&SCC) for funds to send Driffield to Calcutta for the 1952 world championship, he travelled to India a couple of weeks before the competition began. He was the only player in the competition to win all of his matches, netting 8,538 points for, and 4,254 against, and took the title. Before leaving India, he won the all-India Billiards Championship, beating fellow world championship competitor Walter Ramage of Scotland by 3002–2256, and also won the all-India snooker championship. He left the original trophies in India because of the possible customs problems involved in returning them, and took replica trophies back to the United Kingdom. Between winning the English and World titles, Driffield lost the Yorkshire title that he had been attempting to defend.

In 1958, having won further English Amateur titles, Driffield was the world championship runner-up to Wilson Jones.

Following his English Amateur title victory in 1967, Driffield played at the 1967 world championship in Colombo and was, as in 1952, the only unbeaten player, and the champion.

BA&CC World title and WPBSA breakaway
Driffield was a member of the Billiards Association and Control Council, and was present at the meeting where the Council nominated him as the challenger to Rex Williams for the professional Billiards Championship. Williams declined to play Driffield within the five months' time limit that the B&SCC Council had set, which expired on 7 July 1970, and forfeited the title, which was then contested between Driffield and Jack Karnehm. Driffield beat Karnehm 9,029–4,342 in June 1971, in a match not recognised by most professional players. Meanwhile, on 12 December 1970, the Professional Billiard Players Association, which had been reestablished in 1968 by Williams and seven other players, changed its name to the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association and declared itself the governing body for the professional game, recognising Williams as champion.

Driffield retained his title against Albert Johnson of Australia by 9,204–4,946 in January 1973. He also won a tournament in 1972 called the World Open, beating Paddy Morgan 3,055–2,404 in a ten-hour final.

Personal life
Driffield was known for his concentration and tenacity as a player. During the Second World War he was a captain in the Royal Engineers. He was married to Pia, and had three daughters, Barbara, Gitte and Jytte, and a son, Peter Leslie. Driffield died in 1988, aged 76.

Career highlights

 * English Amateur billiards champion 1952, 1953, 1954, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1962, 1967
 * 1952 World Amateur Billiards Champion
 * 1958 World Amateur Billiards Championship runner-up
 * 1967 World Amateur Billiards Champion
 * 1971 World Professional Billiards Champion (Challenge basis, Billiards and Snooker Control Council)
 * 1973 World Professional Billiards Champion (Challenge basis, Billiards and Snooker Control Council)

I'm aware you can download the full game online now for free(and I have done so), but I'm curious if anyone knows how the glitch that turned the demo into the full game worked. Strictly from a point of curiousity, I'm interested in this.

There were two versions of the demo - one that contained EVERYTHING, which was quickly revoked, and one that just had a few missing bits of data. One was just a simple matter of "flicking the switch", the other you set it to a full version inside a confusing file full of unlabeled options and it was then a "Full" version that took downloaded the missing peices to the pc from the server. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 09:44, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Michael A. Miles

Michael A. Miles (1940–2013) was an American marketer and businessman from Washington, D.C., who served as chief executive of Kentucky Fried Chicken, Kraft Foods, and Philip Morris Companies, and as a director on the board of Time Warner, Sears Holdings Corporation, Dell Inc., AMR Corporation, and Citadel Broadcasting Corporation. From 1961 to 1971 he was an advertising executive at Leo Burnett Co. He was also a trustee of Northwestern University. He died on November 10, 2013, from complications of a brain tumor.

Education
Miles attended Woodrow Wilson high school in Washington, D.C., and Northwestern University, where he was president of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. He graduated in 1961, with a degree in advertising and journalism from the Medill School of Journalism.

Business career
Miles began his career at Leo Burnett & Co. in 1961 as a Media analyst, and progressed to the position of VP Account Supervisor. In 1972, he was hired by Kentucky Fried Chicken as VP of Marketing, then held various roles at Heublein before being appointed President of the Kentucky Fried Chicken in 1977. Through a re-evaluation of corporate strategy and a new marketing campaign declaring "We Do Chicken Right", Miles sparked a turnaround of the struggling KFC, reestablishing the company's relationship with founder Colonel Harlan Sanders and restoring trust with franchisees. He is in large part responsible for the company's large market share today.

In 1983, Mr. Miles was hired away from KFC by Dart & Kraft Co., where he became president and chief executive in 1985. He helped to orchestrate the $13 billion merger of Philip Morris and Kraft in 1988, at the time one of the largest merger deals in history. He became chairman and CEO of the two companies in 1991, and was notably the first non-smoking chief executive of a major tobacco company. At Kraft, Miles became well known for his mentorship of up-and-coming managers, and established a development program called the "Leadership Corridor," featured in the Harvard Business Review, which fostered current executives of companies including Gillette, CVS, and Sears Roebuck, among multiple others. In 1993, his decision as CEO of Philip Morris to cut the price of Marlboro cigarettes by 20% resulted in the so-called Marlboro Friday stock plunge, as consumers feared the decline of big name brands.

Boards of directors
Following his executive career, Michael Miles served as a director on the board of numerous Fortune 500 companies, including Dell, Time Warner, Sears, Morgan Stanley, and American Airlines. As a director, he was known for his pragmatic, no-nonsense business approach and his decisive nature.

Personal life
Miles met his wife, Pamela, while they were both undergraduates at Northwestern University. They enjoyed 52 years of marriage, and have two sons, Michael and Christopher, as well as 5 grandsons.

 * Interesting. However, the article does not mention these notable, widely available knorks, and currently only mentions Clone High and advertises for knork.net.  Previous versions of the page have links to knork.net, but they were removed some time ago.  The knork described in the article is clearly the one sold at knork.net.  The "knork" from the Museum of Modern Art is not advertised as such by its current manufacturer, Etac; they call it a knife/fork.

Requested move 18 January 2020

The result of the move request was: page moved (non-admin closure)   CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  07:36, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Christopher Porco → Murder of Peter Porco – Standard naming convention for articles about murders with otherwise non-notable victims/perpetrators. Per WP:SINGLEEVENT, Christopher Porco is not notable aside from this event. Media coverage is focused on the murder, and so is the article. Furthermore, Christopher does not meet WP:PERP, as the victim was not widely renowned and there's nothing to suggest that the motivation for the crime was particularly unusual. Surachit (talk) 06:53, 18 January 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.  CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  06:59, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Support per nomination. Standard Wikipedia form for main title headers of this nature. Since perpetrator has been convicted, "Murder of" is sustainable. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:34, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Support as per the reasoning laid out by other editors above. SunCrow (talk) 04:42, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

The Murder Is Not Described
Before I make my comments, let me say that the idea that this article should be deleted is nonsense. The event in itself is well known, and for that reason alone there should be an article about it. The fact that the murderer and/or his victims were not well known is irrelevant. The same set of circumstances existed for the Lizzie Borden murders, and yet that murder is very noteworthy. The outrageous circumstances of a crime are what make a crime noteworthy. (Why are there so many editors on Wikipedia who just want to delete things?)

The article doesn't detail the actual murder. It doesn't say which end of the axe was used, or which victim was attacked first. The article just assumes that the reader will figure it out. Of course, many details may not be known; but whatever details are known (or surmised) should be reported. The murder is, after all, what the title says the article is about.

Biophysics

Biophysics (also biological physics) is an interdisciplinary science that applies the theories and methods of physics, to questions of biology.

Biophysics research today comprises a lot of specific biological studies, which don't share a unique identifying factor, nor subject themselves to clear and concise definitions. The studies included under the umbrella of biophysics range from sequence analysis to neural networks. In the past, biophysics included creating mechanical limbs and nanomachines to regulate biological functions. Today, these are more commonly referred to as belonging to the fields of bioengineering and nanotechnology respectively.

It is somewhat difficult for physicists to get involved in biophysics, since the material studied is foreign to those who have had the standard physics course. Additionally, many institutions do not offer any courses in biophysics. It is important that Wikiversity be able to fill this significant gap in physical knowledge.

James P. T. Carter

James Patton Taylor Carter (July 30, 1822 – September 28/29, 1869) was a Union army officer during the American Civil War and led the 2nd Tennessee Infantry Regiment. He was also a politician who served as Secretary of Arizona Territory from 1866 to 1869.

Biography
Carter was born the youngest child of Alfred Moore and Evalina B. (Perry) Carter on July 30, 1822 in or near the town of Elizabethton in Carter County, Tennessee. His grandfather, Landon Carter, is the person for whom Carter County was named, while the county seat is named after his grandmother, Elizabeth (Maclin) Carter. His older brothers were General Samuel P. Carter and Rev. William B. Carter. Details of Carter's education have been lost, but his correspondence shows he was literate with solid language skills. His family business involved iron manufacturing, and Carter took control of the business following his father's death in 1850. Carter married Margaretta M. Dunn on August 5, 1851. The union produced a son, William A. Carter. Following the death of his first wife, he married Margaret Letcher.

Civil War period
Politically, Carter and his family were Whigs. As the American Civil War approached, Carter became an outspoken Union supporter. During an anti-secession meeting in Knoxville at the end of May 1861, he was one of five delegates representing Carter County. The next month, Carter was one of "three brave men" who escorted Andrew Johnson from Greeneville, Tennessee to Washington D.C. While they were fired upon several times during their journey through the Cumberland Gap, the group arrived safely at their destination. Shortly after his arrival in Washington, Carter left on a secret mission involving the arming of Union supporters in eastern Tennessee by the U.S. federal government.

In August 1861, Carter became a colonel in the 2nd Regiment Tennessee Volunteer Infantry. He saw action during the battles of Mill Springs and Murfreesboro as well as during the pursuit of John Hunt Morgan Carter became a brigade commander in the XXIII Corps on July 15, 1863. During the war he was slightly wounded and held shortly as a prisoner of war. Carter resigned on May 2, 1864, saying "I have become ... a supernumerary officer in the service of the United States" following "the capture of about three-fourths of my command". At the end of the war he found himself impoverished by the seizure of his property by Confederate forces, and in poor health.

Western U.S. period
Following the war, Carter decided to move west in a hope the change would help restore both his health and his wealth. He petitioned President Johnson to be appointed Governor of Montana Territory in January 1866. Then, as was the custom of the day, arranged for letters of recommendation to be sent to both the president and Secretary of State William H. Seward. The congressional delegates of both Kentucky and Tennessee provided support for his appointment. He did not receive the requested appointment, but was offered a position as Secretary of Arizona Territory. Carter accepted the offer and was commissioned on April 10, 1866.

Carter departed with his wife and son for Panama in June 1866. After crossing the isthmus, they took a ship to California and arrived in Prescott, Arizona Territory on September 3. He was suffering from "Panama Fever" upon his arrival at the territorial capital, but appeared to quickly recover. The 3rd Arizona Territorial Legislature convened a month after his arrival and the new secretary was responsible for swearing in the members of the House of Representatives. Following the session, the legislators thanked Carter for the "gentlemanly deportment" and "faithful manner" the Secretary demonstrated during the session.

Governor Richard Cunningham McCormick left for California on December 9, 1866. Carter accompanied McCormick part of the way, returning to Prescott in February 1867 to serve as acting governor. During his spare time, he explored northern Arizona. This included a four-to-six week trip along the Colorado River in April 1867. Carter had requested a leave of absence for the end of 1867 to settle his father-in-law's estate. This plan changed when the 4th Arizona Territorial Legislature moved the territorial capital to Tucson and Carter became responsible for overseeing the move of the territory's governmental offices. Items such as furniture and stoves were sold with the intention of purchasing replacements at the new capital location. To ensure transit of the territorial library, Carter paid $76 in freight charges from his personal funds.

Carter visited San Francisco before proceeding to Tucson. There he met his wife, who had been traveling back east. Upon his arrival in the new capital in April 1868, he was recovering from injuries sustained after being thrown from a buggy as well as "rheumatic pains". During the election for territorial delegate, Carter called for a "good Democrat" to win the position, but instead saw Governor McCormick win the office. Shortly after the results became known, Carter wrote to President Johnson asking for promotion to governor. President Johnson failed to take action on the request. Carter was left as acting governor when McCormick left the territory on December 13, 1868.

The Acting Governor soon found himself with a major problem. Under territorial law at the time, the legislature was empowered to apportion itself. In practice the apportionment had been delegated to the governor. In January 1869, Judge Henry T. Backus issued a ruling that this arrangement was unconstitutional. As a result, the legality of the territorial government was thrown into question, and some residents refused to pay their taxes. Carter called for the United States Congress, in its supervisory capacity, to pass legislation correcting the issue. While the needed legislation was passed, it did not come until after Carter left office. In the meantime, the Acting Governor failed to call for a meeting of the territorial legislature in 1869. This oversight may have been partially due to Carter experiencing another bout of health problems. He did commute the death sentence of Delore Moore who had been convicted of killing her husband.

Ulysses S. Grant replaced Andrew Johnson as President of the United States on March 4, 1869. With his friend no longer in office, Carter, who had a reputation for supporting Johnson's policies while denouncing the Republican party, expected to be quickly replaced. Coles Bashford was appointed to become the new Territorial Secretary on April 14, 1869.

Carter remained in the territory after leaving office. He had developed business interests in Tucson and owned a two-third's interest in a flour mill in Altar, Sonora. He had also been awarded a government contract for 150000 lb of flour for use by the U.S. Army in March 1869. He left Tucson for Mexico in July 1869. The purpose of the trip was a combination of health reasons and to look after his business enterprises in Mexico. Carter died September 28/29, 1869 at Rancho San Francisco between Caborca and Puerto Libertad, Sonora.

Introduction to Philosophy/Empiricism

Empiricism is a philosophical idea based on the idea that all reliable knowledge about the world is gained in the process of experience. Famous empiricists were Hume, Locke and Berkley, basing themselves on ideas already postulated by Aristotle, that we are born with the Tabula Rasa which receives throughout our lives information on which it can base all thinking and knowing. The movement of empiricism was in part a countermovement to what Descartes and Spinoza had proposed as rationalism. Knowledge derived from experience is called a posteriori.

2015 Indoor Football League season

The 2015 Indoor Football League season was the seventh season of the Indoor Football League. Playing with ten teams in two conferences located in mid-sized cities predominantly in the central United States, the league's regular season kicked off on February 28, 2015, when the reigning league champion Sioux Falls Storm travelled to the Bemidji Axemen. The regular season ended 16 weeks later on June 20, 2015, with the Green Bay Blizzard visiting the Iowa Barnstormers. The playoffs were held in two rounds with the top two teams in each conference facing off in a conference championship game followed by the winners of those games meeting in the United Bowl.

Teams
For 2015, the IFL maintained its two-conference no-divisions format with each of 10 teams played 14 games during the 16-week regular season. This is the one more teams than the number of teams as played in the 2014 IFL season. The Texas-based Wichita Falls Nighthawks expansion team replaced the Texas Revolution which left for Champions Indoor Football for the 2015 season. The Iowa Barnstormers joined the IFL from the Arena Football League after making a move due to easier regional travel. The Wyoming Cavalry folded, and the league accepted the expansion franchise of Billings Wolves and the Wichita Falls Nighthawks.

Expansion
In January 2014, the league announced that the Billings Wolves would join the league for the 2015 season. The Wolves played their home games at Rimrock Auto Arena at MetraPark in Billings, Montana. The city was previously home to the Billings Outlaws, who folded after a tornado heavily damaged the arena leaving them with heavy, uninsured losses.

On August 25, 2014, the Nighthawks became official members of the Indoor Football League.

Doris Day's Sentimental Journey

Doris Day's Sentimental Journey is a studio album by American singer Doris Day, released by Columbia Records on July 12, 1965 as a monophonic LP (catalog number CL-2360) and a stereophonic album (catalog number CS-9160). This was Day's final album for Columbia, and her last album of previously unissued material until 1994.

The album gets its title from Doris Day's first big hit, "Sentimental Journey," which she performed as a part of the band Les Brown and His Band of Renown in 1945, and was re-recorded for this album. Other tracks on the album consist mostly of pop standards, principally composed in the 1940s, approximately contemporaneously with the title track.

Liner notes on the album were written by George T. Simon who was the author of "The Feeling of Jazz". The album's tracks are performed by the Mort Garson Orchestra, which Mort Garson arranged and conducted. All of the album tracks are medium to slow tempo. The album was produced by Allen Stanton and the cover photography was by Frank Bez.

Though this was her last Columbia album, Day would continue to record for Columbia through mid-1967, issuing singles in 1966 and '67 and recording a number of tracks in 1967 for a projected new album. However, the planned album was shelved, and Day subsequently left Columbia (and essentially the recording industry) in 1967. Day's next release was not until 1994, and consisted of tracks from the shelved 1967 sessions.

Doris Day's Sentimental Journey was reissued on CD in 2001, combined with Latin for Lovers, which had been recorded earlier the same month.

'A Sentimental Journey' is also the title of a stage musical tribute to Doris Day by Adam Rollston. In 2011 the piece toured to Scotland, England and Los Angeles.

Beijing Ancient Observatory

The Beijing Ancient Observatory is a pretelescopic observatory located in Beijing, China. The observatory was built in 1442 during the Ming dynasty, and expanded during the Qing. It received major reorganization and many new, more accurate instruments from Europeans (Jesuits) in 1644. As one of the oldest observatories in the world, the Beijing Ancient Observatory grounds cover an area of 10,000 square meters. The observatory itself is located on a 40x40 m wide platform on the top of a 15 m tall brick tower, an extant portion of the old Ming dynasty era city wall that once encircled Beijing. Several of the bronze astronomical instruments are on the platform, and other armillary spheres, sundials, and other instruments are located nearby at ground level. It is operated as a museum in affiliation with the Beijing Planetarium.

History
It was said that in 1227, the Jin dynasty transferred the ancient astronomical instruments from Kaifeng to the first observatory in Beijing. In 1279, the succeeding Mongols under Kublai Khan built a new observatory just north of the current observatory. Kublai Khan made his chief adviser of hydraulics, mathematics and astronomy, Guo Shoujing, director of the observatory in 1283 after the death of Guo's friend and predecessor Zhang Wenqian. After the Mongols, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding Ming Emperor, transferred the instruments from Beijing to Nanjing. When the Yongle Emperor came to power, he had craftsmen make copies of the instruments in Nanjing and sent them to the Beijing observatory.

The current observatory was completed in 1442. It assisted the Ming and Qing astronomers in their observation reports for the Emperor. As he was considered the "Son of Heaven", the movements of the heavenly bodies were an important affair. Another function was to assist sea navigation, with Muslim scholars recruited for their expertise in the area. In the mid-17th century, after winning an astronomy contest, the Jesuit Ferdinand Verbiest was awarded complete charge of the astronomy observatory by the emperor. In 1673, he supervised the rebuilding of some of the instruments. He and other Jesuits helped to further develop the observations of the stars and the planets.

During the later stages of the Qing dynasty, members of the Eight-Nation Alliance looted some of the instruments. However, as World War I drew to a close, the instruments were returned to China by the French and German governments. An early seismograph of Zhang Heng's design used to be housed at the observatory. Some of the instruments from the Ming era are now at Purple Mountain Observatory in Nanjing.

Access and nearby attractions
The Beijing Ancient Observatory is located just south of Jianguomen in Dongcheng District and can be accessed by Lines 1 and 2 of the Beijing Subway to Jianguomen station (Exit C) and bus routes 25, 39, 43, 44, 52, 122, 434, 637, 638, 750 and 特2 to Jianguomen South (建国门桥南). The Beijing railway station and the Ming City Wall Relics Park are a short walk to the south.

Aviation Weather

Online Courses
Aviation Weather Theory

The pilot's weather tools
To accurately gather weather data to ensure a successful flight, pilots have access to many different resources that inform them of what the weather is up to.

METARs
Every pilot and even student for that matter has been exposed to a METAR. Roughly translated from the French as METeorlogical Aviation Routine weather Reports, a METAR is of course the hourly surface weather observation issued 5 minutes before the hour and available to the aviation community and used by the National weather service to determine an airport's flying conditions (IFR,MVFR, VFR). You can obtain these from a variety of places both online and by phone.

This is the basic knowledge of what ground school consists of on this topic other than deciphering its acronyms. Although as a pilot, sometimes its nice to know a little about how these services came to be without going too much into detail. Funny enough, the change to our current acronym of METAR is fairly recent.

History
Before the current interpretation of weather data, there were two formats, and, in rough terms, it was "us and them" or rather, to be more precise, the North American countries reported weather differently from the rest of the world. North Americans were using SAO or "Surface Aviation Observation" (which was adopted in the 1950s), while the rest of the world was using the currently known METAR or "METeorological Aviation Routine weather reports". The FAA, which determines aviation requirements in the US, became increasingly aware that expanding numbers of international flights and pilots alike was creating a strong need to standardize weather report interpretations internationally.

The National Weather Service standardized the weather reports into what we now know as METARs. To reduce the stress on US aviation citizens, the metric system was kept to a minimum: for example, the winds were kept in knots instead of meters per second, visibility in miles, altimeter settings in inches of mercury instead of hectoPascals, and RVR continued in feet. Temperatures, however, are converted to Celsius to allow for better conversions. The biggest change is simply the order in which elements are reported.

Translating METARs
So in a sense, although the attempt at standardizing weather code from SAO to METAR is apparent, the actual translation is not substantial. Oh and for those of you who are students or pilots that don’t like translating code, there is a reason and a cure. First off do realize that METARs are always originated in code and probably will be for a while. The reason seems to be that with the vast amount of changes and updates to weather reports would overload the system. The great news is that now it is possible to translate the code online either through request from sites such as NOAA or by looking up the code yourself which will put it in simple English. Sometimes this helps those who are new to learn the code and not miss anything during preflight weather preparations.

A closer look at the METAR
The following example is a METAR taken from Vancouver International Airport in Vancouver, British Columbia

METAR CYVR 120200Z 14021G27KT 20SM -SHRA FEW030 BKN058 OVC090 10/06 A2982 RMK SC2SC5AC2 PCPN VRY LGT SLP098=

Like mentioned above, METARs are observed and posted on an hourly basis. An airport can also issue an METAR that is not on the hour, this observation is called a SPECI. SPECI is abbreviated for special because the report was issued based on a significant change in conditions such as a violent temperature change, cloud layer movement, precipitaion, visibility, ect. Looking back at the Vancouver METAR, the observation can be translated as such.

METAR: Simply indicated that the observation is a METAR observation.

CYVR: This is the aerodrome ident of which the observation originates, in this case, the aerodrome is Vancouver International.

120200Z: This is the time of which the METAR was issued, the first two numbers are the date, so 12 would mean the twelfth day of the month. The 0200Z is the time indicated in UTC, in aviation, it is indicated as Zulu time hence the Z on the end. The time 0200 can be translated to 2:00.

14021G27: This is the current wind observation. The first three numbers indicate the wind direction in degrees true while the following numbers indicate the wind speed measured in knots. From this figure we gather that the wind is at 140 degrees true and is at 21 knots gusting to 27 knots.

20SM: Indicates the visibility at the airport; in this case, the visibility is 20 Statute Miles.

-SHRA: Means that there is rain showers at the airport, the negative sign at the begining indicates the severity of the precipitation, a negative sign meaning light, no sign at all meaning moderate, a positive(+) sign meaning heavy.

FEW030 BKN058 OVC090: These are the current cloud layers observed. FEW030 is few clouds at 3000 feet ASL, BKN058 is broken clouds at 5800 feet ASL, and OVC090 is overcast clouds at 9000 feet ASL. ASL is abbreviated for above sea level, and you add two zeros on the end of the numbers to receive the actual altitude of the clouds.

10/06: Current temperature and dewpoint, Temperature is 10 degrees celsius while the dewpoint is 6 degrees celsius.

A2982: Altimeter setting observed, in this case 29.82 Hg/m

RMK SC2SC5AC2 PCPN VRY LGT: Any remarks which the observation has. SC2SC5AC2 indicates that in respect to the observed cloud layers, the clouds are composed of 2 ocatas of strato cumulus clouds, 5 octas of stratocumulus clouds, and 2 octas of alto-cumulus clouds. PCPN VRY LGT indicates that precipitation is very light.

SLP098: Indicates sea level pressure.

Introduction to Philosophy/Philosophy of Mind

The philosophy of mind is about the form and content of our thoughts, and how and why we come to think them. Understanding the philosophy of mind gives us some fairly universally applicable rules to understand ourselves, other people, animals and even computers.

Philosophy of mind covers similar domains to psychology, artificial and non-artificial (synthetics) intelligence, developmental and non-developmental psychology, evolutionary and non-evolutionary psychology, evolutionary and non-evolutionary developmental psychology, forensics and non-forensics-based developmental psychology, developmental and non-developmental neuropsychology, epistemology, etymology, phenomenology, anthropology, ethnography, sociology and psychiatry, and helps us look at these disciplines within a specifically philosophical context. There is now growing evidence of a computational theory of mind.

You can either look at things in a hermetic (closed) or empirical (open) way.

Philosophy of mind is closely connected to cognitive psychology. It is connected also to neuroscience, which is still attempting to sort out (once and for all) whether our minds and our brains are separate.

Questions one may ask are: 'What is the difference between reality and illusion?', 'How is the mind related to the body, or to physical things in general?', 'How do I know that other minds exist?' In studying these questions one might start with Descartes' Meditations, then go on to study George Berkeley, Edmund Husserl and Gilbert Ryle, to mention just one or two.

Further questions include: 'What, if anything, is the "subconscious"?' If this cannot be put on a sound footing, how do we talk about 'self deception'? 'What, if anything, is "mental illness"?'

Another area of philosophy of mind that grew during the second half of the 20th Century is artificial intelligence. The Turing test challenges us to say whether we are talking to a human being or to a computer. People have been developing computers to the point where these tools could be said to have minds. Perhaps they will think autonomously.

Philosophy of mind can be expressed as 'thoughts about thoughts'.

Further Inquiries into Philosophy of Mind involve questions of whether specific thoughts or activities of the mind such as perception of color or feeling pain can be identified, in a strict sense, with the physical brain event which corresponds to such mental activities, or whether there is a distinction between the two. See Saul Kripke's "Naming and Necessity".

Green Street, New London

Green Street is a street in New London, Connecticut. It was laid out in 1787 principally through the land of Timothy Green in Downtown New London and is located off State Street and retains its original length and width with a number of buildings within arm's reach of each other. Green Street is intersected by Golden Street (laid out in 1782) and Green's Alley (laid out 1786) as Cross Street.

Of the existing "ancient" structures in this area listed in as part of the Downtown New London Historic District is the 1st Richard Douglass House located at 102 Golden Street, the 1801 Richard Douglass House on Green Street, The 1740s "Mistress House" next to the Richard Douglass House and on neighboring Green's Alley the 1789 Reverend West House.

After the burning of New London in 1781 by British and Tory forces as part of the Battle of Groton Heights by Gen. Benedict Arnold, Green Street was laid out and contained many houses and small businesses including a bakery, cooperage, and more. Several churches also surrounded the neighborhood.

In the early 20th century, Green Street was the home of several artists and actors as well as those that worked in many of the local theatres (Capitol, Lyceum). The first organizing of the Methodist Church happened at the home of Richard Douglass on Green Street in 1793

Chaetodon guentheri

Chaetodon guentheri, Günther's butterflyfish or the crochet butterflyfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a butterflyfish belonging to the family Chaetodontidae. It is native to The western Pacific Ocean.

Description
Chaetodon guentheri has a body which is mainly white to pale yellow in colour and marked with small dark spots which create a pattern of irregular lines. The posterior part of the body, the soft-rayed part of the dorsal fin and the anal fin are yellow. A vertical black bar runs through the eye. The background colour to the body is whitest towards the head and becomes yellow towards the back and tail. The dorsal and anal fins also have a white band on the margin with a thin black band to the inside of that. The dorsal fin has 13 spines and 21-22 soft rays, while the anal fin contains 3 spines and 18 soft rays. This species attains a maximum total length of 18 cm.

Distribution
Chaetodon guentheri is a species of the Western Pacific Ocean and it is found from southern Japan and Taiwan on the north south as far as New South Wales. It also occurs off Lord Howe Island, the Great Barrier Reef east to Tonga.

Habitat and biology
Chaetodon guentheri is found on seaward reefs where there is a dense coral growth, at water depths from 5 to 50 m. They are normally solitary but will form schools, especially when making longer movements typically where there are strong currents. They are mostly found in areas of sponge growth and they prefer deeper waters where sponges grow in the tropics and can be found at shallower depths in temperate areas. Gunther's butterflyfish will move through open water and it is known to clean large pelagic fishes. It is an oviparous species in which the males and females form pairs to breed. They feed on plankton. They also feed on soft and stony coral polyps, sea anemones, sponges, worms, tunicates, crustaceans and other benthic invertebrates

Taxonomy and etymology
Chaetodon guentheri was first formally described in 1923 by the German zoologist Christoph Gustav Ernst Ahl (1898-1945) with the type locality given as Manado on Sulawesi in Indonesia. The specific name honours the German-born British zoologist, ichthyologist, and herpetologist Albert Günther (1830-1914) who first described this species as C. miliaris in 1871.

Utilisation
Chaetodon guentheri is rarely collected for the aquarium trade.

Van Dwelling/Exercise

Keeping fit on the road can be more difficult, since you don't have a lot of room to store bulky training equipment.

The ideal exercise equipment for van dwelling would be:

 * 1) Lightweight
 * 2) Compact
 * 3) Inexpensive
 * 4) Durable
 * 5) Effective
 * 6) Multi-use
 * 7) Simple

And such exercise equipment exists! It's your own body. You don't need anything but your own flesh to stay in shape.

The primary question is whether you want others to know that you live in your van. If that is not an option, then you cannot exercise right next to it. You will have to move some distance away or go to a nearby park or playground.

You will need some kind of workout outfit, which you can pick up on the cheap, because wearing jeans or some other non-sportive clothes will make you look more of a homeless person in the park than a sport-minded individual.

The simplest regimen of 3 sets of 20 pushups, 3 sets of 20 situps, 2x12 chinups, and brisk walking or jogging for 15 minutes will give you the necessary workout to maintain health.

For better shape, you will need to plan out a more stern regimen.

A simple online search for calisthenics will provide you with enough information to plan out your exercise routine.

Three times a week is the minimum exercise you should get.

If you can work out next to your van, this will save you time and effort.

Remember, staying in shape means you'll live longer and healthier.

Other ideas:
Yoga is an excellent form of exercise and you can do it in the center of your van if you stack things on the seats. Also removing one of your back seats will allow for more space.
 * Register at a (preferably 24 hour) health club.
 * A magnetic resistance bike which doubles as a computer workstation.
 * A soccer ball.
 * An elastic workout device.

Introduction to Moral Reasoning/How to Study

You will have to do a lot of reading, and some writing and some talking and listening. Then you will have to do some thinking.

Courses and classes
If you can register for a course, this will give you the opportunity to do all these things. There may be adult education 'introduction to philosophy' evening courses available. But you are unlikely to have courses beyond introductory level outside the largest of cities.

You could register as an undergraduate at a university. Here you could study the course in depth over three or four years. You will probably also have to pay out quite a lot of money in course fees and living expenses.

'Distance learning' may be available to you, with such institutions as The Open University, based in the United Kingdom, or Athabasca University, based in Canada, or the College of the Humanities & Sciences (http://www.chumsci.edu), based in the United States.

But it may be that none of the above are available or suitable to your needs. Fortunately, on line resources are beginning to fill the gap, and Wikibooks, Wikipedia, and the Wikiversity are here to help you. The present work is here to fill this need.

Remember though that much of the world remains off-line. One hopes that this defect will eventually be remedied.

Reading
The present work is an introduction to philosophy. It is here to get you started. You could try reading Wikipedia articles at random, or in alphabetical order like the autodidact in Sartre's Nausea. But some of those articles are not for the beginner, and the beginner needs to be guided through the maze. Rather than duplicating what has already been written in the Wikipedia, we shall provide links. The Wikipedia is succinct. If you want a lot of detail, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy and the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy may be what you need. For absolute beginners an excellent book to read is Joestien Gaarder's "Sophie's World".

You will have to read a lot. And some passages you will have to read many times slowly and carefully.

Writing
If you don't write, then at best you end up with a vague feel for the subject you are researching. If you do write, the people at the philosophy department of the Wikiversity might give you some friendly advice and feedback on what you have written.

 * ../The dissertation/

Talking and listening
Hopefully, there will be discussion forums at the Wikiversity for this. Irc should also be useful.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Pact

WikiProject Editor Retention Pact
This document outlines a proposal for a structure and methods to be used by the Project. Like all Wikipedia pages, this is a living document and subject to change based on the consensus of the Members of the Project. In order to draw up a basic set of rules, members of the project and other editors who wish to participate are invited to read the following suggestions and either edit them directly or comment on the talk page. As we need to move forward fairly quickly, we should aim at upgrading this proposal to a basic set of basic procedures by the end of July 2012.

Goals
An encyclopedia is only as good as the people who create, edit and maintain articles. WikiProject Editor Retention exists solely for the purpose of fostering the development and retention of high quality editors for the benefit of Wikipedia. This is a broad objective that encompasses a great many areas, and would include anything that serves these goals. The Project exists to discuss and coordinate ideas and to get changes implemented in the various venues at Wikipedia. At the very core of the Project is the belief that all persons are equal, all share the burden and have the same voice, and we are all equally responsible for ensuring the continuing progress and success of Wikipedia.

We choose to pursue changes at Wikipedia by taking a proactive and positive approach that not only fixes problems, but rewards and celebrates successes. We will not point fingers, but instead extend a helping hand. We understand that in order to make Wikipedia a more rewarding place that editors will want to participate in, we must engage and pursue those editors whose methods or actions are detrimental to the encyclopedia, and help them learn new methods that will benefit us all. We must seek out "lost" editors and encourage them to rejoin us. We must help new editors so that they can become valuable members of the community as well.

WP:IAR
As the most important policy at Wikipedia, it may be reasonably invoked any time the ideas in this Pact get in the way of improving the Project or Wikipedia.

Membership
Any registered Wikipedian in good standing may become a member of the Project by adding their name to the roster. Any person may leave by removing their name. All Members have an equal say in all things, and may participate in any area without restriction and are expected to respect consensus. In the rare event that the project wishes to expel a member and bar them from participation, it requires a 2/3rds vote of voting members in a discussion at the talk page.

Leadership
In order to address some of the top heavy problems that face Wikipedia, it is necessary that we do not form a project that itself is top heavy. As such, no "leader" will ever be chosen. Leadership comes from within, not thrust from outside, and all members are welcomed to participate fully without restriction from a ruling force. If a venue requires that a single person speak for the group, typically the group will choose one Primus to do so. (explained below)

*Coordinators
On November 24, 2014 Dennis Brown requested that the following editors act as coordinators for the project:
 * User:Mark Miller
 * User:Buster7
 * User:John Carter
 * User:Go Phightins!
 * User:Doctree
 * User:Adjwilley
 * User:Anne Delong
 * User:Slim Virgin
 * User:Anna Frodesiak

Teams
Team building is an important part of organization that allows complicated work to get done, and they will often form to focus on specific functions or features of the project. This is a voluntary process and any group of 2 or more people may form a declared team. Members of that team will decide if a Coordinator is necessary and choose one if so. Coordinators will be granted no special authority by virtue of the position. Any member may add new teams or remove old unused teams. Any member may chose to be a part of a team, or multiple teams, or no teams, and no team may discriminate against a Member joining a Team. No Team will have authority or domain over another Team, individual or the Project as a whole.

Voting
Any editor may participate in discussions or polls about topics on Wikipedia and editor retention, whether or not they are a member. All viewpoints are welcomed and encouraged. Monitors may re-arrange discussions or indentations, create new threads or edit breaks, and, in general, be responsible for the forwarding flow of conversation.

In regards to decisions about the procedures and policies for the Project itself such as changes to this Pact or voting for changes, any person who was a member at the start of a poll or similar vote may participate. Members who join after polling has begun can offer opinions but are not granted a numerical vote. All procedural decisions are based on consensus of the project's members. Procedural votes shall be kept open for at least 7 days, and remain open as long as there is active participation.

Dispute resolution and Review
Many of the topics covered by the Project are controversial, and as such, Members may often disagree with each other. It is expected that all members will respect the consensus view and use civil methods of discussing differences. If a closure of a discussion is controversial and requires review, the review should usually begin 7 days after the close, in the same venue as the initial discussion. All processes regarding the Project should stay within the Project itself if possible.

Participation
All members are encouraged to participate at whatever level they are comfortable with. All activities should be conducted in public, on-wiki only. Members are not expected to agree on every or any points presented and should be free to politely express any opinions on the matters raised. On the front of the Project main page, a list of "related discussions" should be posted and maintained, where issues that affect editor retention are being discussed. As there is no singular view of the project, all members are strongly encouraged to individually go and join these discussions and let their voices be heard. What we do on the pages of the Project is educate ourselves and others. What we do in the various venues and discussions off-Project is where the real changes can take place.

USA-10

USA-10, also known as Navstar 11, GPS I-11 and GPS SVN-11, was an American navigation satellite launched in 1985 as part of the Global Positioning System development programme. It was the last of eleven Block I GPS satellites to be launched.

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°. These vehicles are placed in 6 orbit planes with four operational satellites in each plane.

Spacecraft
The first eleven spacecraft (GPS Block 1) were used to demonstrate the feasibility of the GPS system. They were 3-axis stabilized, nadir pointing using reaction wheels. Dual solar arrays supplied over 400 watts. They had S-band communications for control and telemetry and Ultra high frequency (UHF) cross-link between spacecraft. They were manufactured by Rockwell Space Systems, were 5.3 meters across with solar panels deployed, and had a design life expectancy of 5 years. Unlike the later operational satellites, GPS Block 1 spacecraft were inclined at 63°.

Launch
USA-10 was launched at 02:53 UTC on 9 October 1985, atop an Atlas E launch vehicle with an SGS-2 upper stage. The Atlas used had the serial number 55E, and was originally built as an Atlas E. The launch took place from Space Launch Complex 3W at Vandenberg Air Force Base, and placed USA-10 into a transfer orbit. The satellite raised itself into medium Earth orbit using a Star-27 apogee motor.

Mission
By 8 November 1985, USA-10 had been raised to an orbit with a perigee of 19829 km, an apogee of 20532 km, a period of 717.90 minutes, and 63.40° of inclination to the equator. The satellite had a design life of 5 years and a mass of 758 kg. It broadcast the PRN 03 signal in the GPS demonstration constellation, and was retired from service on 14 April 1994.

Physiotherapy Assessment/General

General information
You should bear in mind that there are many variables that can affect the outcome of your assessment. The following is a (by no means exhaustive) list of possible factors influencing the patient (and condition) at the time of the session:

 * Time of day (are they tired after work or feeling fresh in the morning)
 * Temperature (extremes of hot and cold affect pain and stiffness)
 * Position (if sitting relieves their pain and they sit down for 20 minutes, it may have disappeared by the time you try to assess it)
 * Demeanour (if you’re abrupt with them, they won’t be very open with you)

The list goes on and on and it’s something that you’ll probably only begin to take note of as you gain experience. For now, just be aware that there’s more to the overall picture than what the patient says. Try to take notice of their body language as well as their verbal replies.

It’s important to make the patient feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible, as this will have a direct bearing on how open they are in discussing the problem with you. Remember, you’re probably going to ask them to remove at least a few items of clothing and to get into positions that in any other circumstances would be highly inappropriate. Think carefully about what you’re saying, as while it may be technically correct to say to the patient, “Take off your pants and bend over” when assessing the range of lumbar flexion, it may not be socially acceptable.

Use the subjective assessment as a period in which to make the patient feel calm and to try and create an atmosphere of trust.

Your assessment will almost always fall into 2 categories; the subjective and objective assessment. The subjective assessment, or interview, is used to try and work out the nature and cause of the patient’s symptoms. A good clinician will be able to get a very good idea of what’s going on just by speaking to the patient. The objective assessment is used both to eliminate other possible causes as well as to verify the hypothesis formed during the interview.

Personal details
Many outpatient settings will have their own forms for clinical notes. These differ greatly in layout but will always follow a similar sequence. The top of the form is usually reserved for the patient’s personal information, which is important to gather for the purposes of records. It usually consists of the following:

 * Name and surname
 * Date of birth
 * Telephone number
 * Address
 * Date of referral
 * Date of first appointment
 * Referring doctor/consultant/physiotherapist
 * There may be other information gathered, like medical chart number (if you're in a hospital setting), sex (‘male’ or ‘female’, not ‘often’), occupation and hobbies.
