Talk:Dean Hamer

Is Hamer gay himself?
I googled the "master gene" quote included in this article, and it's quoted by a whole bunch of conservative websites, mostly linked with reparative therapy. A great many of them cite Hamer as "openly gay" or even a "gay activist." Since there's nothing on it in this article, I'm not sure. I will search for further information. Is this accurate? More than one source would be nice.

Also, where exactly is the quote from? One of his books? I'd like to give an exact source (chapter, page number etc.) and include it in Xq28. LeaHazel : talk : contribs 12:06, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Return to Return to Nuke 'Em High AKA Volume 2

Return to Return to Nuke 'Em High AKA Volume 2 is a 2017 American science fiction comedy horror film, made by the cult classic B-movie production group Troma Entertainment. It is directed by Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman and is the fifth in the Nuke 'Em High film series.

Plot
The film depicts the actions of a lesbian couple, Lauren (Catherine Corcoran) and her blogger girlfriend Chrissy (Asta Paredes). They must save Tromaville's Nuke 'Em High from the ongoing effects of the nuclear-sludge filled tacos from Tromorganic Foodstuffs, while also trying to keep their illicit love affair from being unmasked.

Cast

 * Asta Paredes as Chrissy
 * Catherine Corcoran as Lauren
 * Vito Trigo as Leonardo
 * Clay von Carlowitz as Eugene
 * Zac Amico as Zac
 * Lemmy as The President
 * Lloyd Kaufman as Lee Harvey Herzkauf
 * Ron Jeremy as God
 * Monique Dupree as Shower Girl
 * Nadia White as Lacey

Production
A majority of the fifth film was shot concurrently with the fourth film, Return to Nuke 'Em High Volume 1. Principal photography began in August 2012 and finished in September 2012. However, the film suffered an extended post-production period. In June 2015, Troma launched a crowdfunding campaign and raised $63,615 for post-production costs.

Release
The sequel premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2017 with some slight controversy as Kaufman stated Troma employees were "slapped around and arrested by thugs in suits joined by police" while promoting the film. The film had its American debut with a Los Angeles premiere on March 8, 2018 at the Ahrya Fine Arts Theater in Beverly Hills, California.

Prior to its home video debut, Troma allowed fans a three-day digital rental of the movie online for $4.99 in February 2019. The movie released on Blu-ray on November 12, 2019.

Reception
Reviews were generally positive with nearly all noting the film's various excesses. Writing of the 2017 Cannes premiere, Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com said "Kaufman delivers everything exploitation fans want: full frontal nudity, duck rape, mutant monsters, oodles of blood and gore, a fat man with a Prince Albert genital piercing, and more" and that this film "might be Kaufman's angriest polemic yet, and it's consequently his looniest." Katie Walsh of The Los Angeles Times stated one had to admire "Kaufman for staying so committed to sensational, offensive exploitation filmmaking." Film Threat gave the film 4 out of 5 stars and called it "Troma’s most manic magnum opus yet" that could be considered "the all too meta, fourth wall breaking, asylum wall destroying amalgamation of everything Kaufman has been working towards in his career." Glenn Kenny of The New York Times called the film a "putrid but at times oddly amiable exercise" that "offers a relentless barrage of toilet humor, haphazard film parodies and gore effects that are no less repellent for being unconvincing."

General Biology/Tissues and Systems/Connective Tissue

=Connective tissue = This is a “grab bag” category of diverse tissue types. Functions include binding and supporting. Types include bone, cartilage, fibrous connective tissue, blood and adipose (fat) tissue.

If you took away everything in the body except the connective tissue, you’d still be able to see the basic form of the body.

Form: distinctive cells surrounded by a cell matrix made of extra-cellular fiber grounded in a ground substance  (excluding blood)

Types: 1. connectile connective tissues (can be 1. loose or 2. dense) 2. special connective tissue (includes blood, bones and cartilage).

Fibroblasts form connective tissue proper; chondoroblasts form cartilage; asdasdasdasdasdasdads osteoblasts form bone; and blood is formed from various sources.

Ground substance: “unstructured” material that fills space between cells and contains fibers. Made of 1. interstitial fluid (bathes cells) 2. proteoglycans (protein core with attached polysaccharides, glycoaminoglycans or GAGs such as chondroitin sulfate, keratin sulfate, and hyalronic acid, whose consistency is syrupy to gelatin-like) 3. cell-adhesion proteins (connect connective tissue cells to the fibers).

Fibers of connective tissue: 1. Collagen (flexible protein resistant to stretching, tensile strength, most abundant protein in animals, white) 2. elastin (rubbery, resilient protein, in dermis, lungs, blood vessels, yellow when fresh) 3. andreticulin (like collagen).

Loose connective tissue: found beneath skin, anchors muscles,nerves etc. Include fibroblasts, macrophages, mast cells,and adipose cells. Fibers include collagen and elastic fibers. Ground substance is “syrupy”. Adipose included.

Dense connective tissue: largely densely packed fibers of collagen or elastin regularly or irregularly arranged. Forms tendons and ligaments, coverings of muscles, capsules around organs and joints, and dermis of skin.

Cartilage vs. bone

Cartilage: There are three cartilage types: 1. hyaline cartilage 2. fibrocartilage (fibrous cartilage) 3. elastic cartilage

Hyaline cartilage: most widespread cartilage type, in adults forms articular surfaces of long bones, rib tips, rings of trachea, and parts of skull. Mostly collagen, name refers to glassy appearance. In embryo, bones form first as hyaline cartilage, later ossifies. Found in tracheal rings. Few collagen fibers.

Fibrous cartilage: have lots of collagen fibers. Found in intervertebral discs, pubic symphesis. Grades into dense tendon and ligament tissue.

Elastic cartilage: springy and elastic. Found in internal support of external ear and in epiglottis, yellow when fresh.

Chondrocites (cartilage cells) rely on diffusion for nutrients, as cartilage has no direct blood supply, and no enervation (nerves). Can be loaded with calcium salts.

Bone: Specialized connective tissue, calcium phosphate arranged in highly ordered unit called osteon, or Hyvercian system. Concentric rings around central canal with blood vessels and enervation (nerves). Bone varied, not all vertebrate bone is even cellular. Our concern: simple pattern for mammals.

Lacuna (spaces in which osteocytes found); canaliculi (little canals) bigger diagonal cells, layers of bone called lamellae.

Three types of bone cells, ending in -blast, (mend bone) -cyte (fortify bone) -clast (tear down bone)

Classified by 1. appearance (spongy vs. hard) 2. where found (outside or inside) 3. how it is formed (endochondral cartilage model forms first and then is ossified, and entramembranous, bone forms directly without cartilage precursor)

Example of endochondral bone formation: long bone begins to ossify from center shaft, calcified region expands and cuts off diffusion of nutrients as bone replaces cartilage. In young mammals, secondary ossification centers then form at bone ends, growth has stopped by sexual maturity as all primary bone is ossified. In other animals, bones continue growing throughout their lifetime.

Three types of intramembrous bone: 1. dermal bone 2. sessamoid bone 3. perichondral bone.

Dermal bone forms skull, shoulder/pectoral girdle, and integument, descended from dermal armor of ancestor. Comes from mesoderm, in dermis of skin.

Sessamoid bones: form directly in tendons. Example: kneecap, also in wrist. Deals with stress.

Perichondral bone means “around cartilage,” forms around cartilage or bone. Functions in bone repair and in ossification of endochondral bone.

Bone remodeling and repair: bone has mineral structure, and develops tiny fractures, which, under stress, can lead to larger fractures. To combat this, bone is constantly replaced. Osteoclasts channel through existing bone, tear down and leave behind osteoblasts and lacuna, leaving osteocytes. Continually resets mineral structure of bone, and is preventative maintenance.

When bone broken, callus forms in open ends, periosteum gives rise to new bone with calcium and new bone matrix, leaves irregular mend. Later, osteoblasts continue fixing over time and slowly removing imperfection.

Villars-sur-Ollon

Villars-sur-Ollon, commonly referred to as Villars, is a village in Switzerland in the canton of Vaud, part of the municipality of Ollon.

Geography and skiing network
Villars overlooks the Rhône valley from an altitude of 1258 m. The peak of Mont Blanc is clearly visible from parts of the village and from the village's more elevated ski area Bretaye (1806 m). That area is the center of the skiing network. It is accessible by the BVB railway (Chemin de fer Bex-Villars-Bretaye), featuring a cogwheel train, and by a gondola lift to the 'Roc d'Orsay' (1952 m). There are around 112 km of skiing slopes in the skiing network of Villars with Gryon, Les Diablerets, and Glacier 3000. The slopes on Glacier 3000 offer year round skiing. Furthermore, the ticketing system of Villars is part of the Magic Pass skiing area that covers 30 resorts in the larger area.

History and culture
During the 12th and 13th centuries, a notable demographic upsurge motivated the monks from the Abbey of Saint-Maurice to assist the local peasants in conquering and clearing mountain pastures. Tourism in Villars started in 1856 when the first summer only hotel 'Chalet de Villars' was opened by a colonel who had owned a chalet since 1830. In 1901 the railway reached Villars. In 1913 it was continued by a mountain cog-train to Bretaye where the development stopped because of the war. In 1936, the first ski lift was built at the ‘Combe’ on the Chaux Ronde. This was a first in Switzerland, and skiers had to fasten themselves on with a large leather belt in order to go back up the mountain. In 1938, Villars was classified as one of the prime skiing resorts of Europe.

On 13 December 1936, the Orient Express made a special stop in Aigle for a slalom race that took place at Bretaye. That same year a ski lift was built in the form of a sledge. This lift could transport 12 skiers to the peak of the Grand Chamossaire and was in use until 1953. During the fifties and early sixties, the Ollon-Villars Hillclimb was a round in the European Hill Climb championship and attracted racing drivers from all over the world. They would race 8 km of mountain road from Ollon up to Villars. In recent years a revival of the hillclimb has begun to attract race car collectors and racing enthusiasts.

Public schools and private boarding schools
Villars is known to host some of the most expensive private international boarding schools in the world, the industry having started in the early post-WWII years. Four such schools remains nowadays: the Collège Alpin International Beau Soleil, Aiglon College, La Garenne School, and Préfleuri.

The village also features a public primary school (Collège d'En-Haut) that is built into the Villars Sports Center right next to a skiing and sledging slope. Older children go to the second primary school (Collège d'En-Bas) close to the Ice Skating Rink or take the bus to the central school in Ollon.

Skiing
Many people visit Villars for skiing during the winter months.

Summer activities
The greater Villars area features more than 300 km of marked hiking trails and 130 km for mountain biking.

The Villars Golf Club, established in 1922, has a Club House and an 18-hole course set at 1600 m and perched on a south-facing plateau with views of Mont Blanc.

The Villars Sports Centre has 5 outdoor tennis courts and three indoor with an indoor sports hall for volleyball, badminton, and football. The facility also houses indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a wellness and spa area, a bowling and billiard lounge, a pumptrack skatepark, and an all season ice skating arena. There are spas and wellness centres in and around Villars, including Lavey-les-Bains, the hottest thermal water baths in Switzerland.

Local attractions and sight seeing
For excursions, the attractive lakeside towns of Montreux, Évian, and Vevey are all close by and boat trips around Lac Leman are easily available. The imposing Aigle Castle built in the 12th century now houses the local Wine Museum. Chillon Castle, built in the 13th century on the banks of Lake Geneva, used to serve as a residence for the noble counts during the middle ages. The Gruyère-Pays d'Enhaut National park is also nearby.

Notable people

 * Olivia Ausoni (1923, Villars – 2010, Chesières), alpine ski racer.
 * Béatrix Beck (1914, Villars – 2008), French writer of Belgian origin and the daughter of the poet Christian Beck.

Etymology
, probably from an alteration of Old Spanish, , from , from *gr̥h₂ú-, from. The confusion of y and ll in this term is already present in medieval texts, and Coromines and Pascual suspect it may be explained as Leonese or Aragonese influence, in which some areas apparently showed a ll-y merger.

Kenny Solomon

Kenneth Terence Solomon (born 8 October 1979) is a South African chess Grandmaster. He is the first and currently the only Grandmaster South Africa has ever produced.

Career
He took up chess at the age of 13, inspired by his elder brother's qualification for the Chess Olympiad in Manila in 1992. Borrowing a chess book from him to study, Solomon was soon taken under his brother's wing to study and within two years, he was the South African Under-16 champion.

He has won the South African Championship in 2003 and the South African Open three times, in 1999, 2005 and 2007, and was also the top ranked South African in 2003. He became an International Master in 2004. During the 40th Chess Olympiad in Istanbul Solomon earned his final GM norm.

Although Solomon has never reached the rating of 2500 that is usually required for the Grandmaster title, a special FIDE rule allows winners of continental championships to earn the title regardless of rating, and he did so by winning the African Chess Championship in December 2014. This made him the first chess grandmaster from South Africa, the second grandmaster from sub-Saharian Africa after Amon Simutowe of Zambia, and the fourth black chess grandmaster in history.

He qualified for the 2017 Chess World Cup where he was defeated by Fabiano Caruana in the first round.

Notability of albums

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Should the articles for their three studio albums - Lovac na čudesa, Neće rijeka zrakom teći, and Malo magle, malo mjesečine (already redirecting here) - be merged into this article, per WP:NALBUM? The first two were nominated for a Porin award, but haven't won it. I couldn't find any information on awards for the third album. They did appear on a Croatian national music chart. --Hmxhmx 17:57, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
 * , thanks for the invitation on my talk page. I believe only Malo magle, malo mjesečine is redirecting here and the first two articles are stand alone. With album articles if there is no claim of notability per WP:NALBUM in the text or infobox I tend to redirect. If you're looking at a true merge discussion notices should be posted. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:22, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I was thinking about merging the introductions (with a few modifications), which are basically just a sentence or two, and track listings into the Discography section as subsections. I added notices to the articles now. --Hmxhmx 18:40, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
 * You shouldn't need to go straight to a full-blown thirty-day formal RfC for this, see WP:RFCBEFORE (and indeed WP:RFCNOT). -- Red rose64 🌹 (talk) 19:16, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
 * My 2 cents: WP:NALBUM considerations put aside, proliferation of stub-size articles (most of which will inevitably remain stubs) may not be the best option for the reader, and I'd opt for the redirects. A possible target is also Silente discography. GregorB (talk) 15:24, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Merge - WP:NALBUM claims that "Notability aside, a standalone article is only appropriate when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged into the artist's article or discography". Is there anyone who believes that these articles will ever be anything other than stubs? Don't get me wrong, if there is more material from a reputable source about the articles, it should be added and kept as separate articles, but I just don't think that's the case. PraiseVivec (talk) 11:53, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
 * That's funny, I wasn't actually aware what WP:NALBUM said that when I wrote my comment. Maybe I've subconsciously reproduced it; it may be I've been here for too long now... :-D
 * From experience, I can say it's difficult to expand articles on Croatian albums, and that's chiefly because the sources aren't there. Reliable info on e.g. reviews, sales figures, chart positions is difficult to find. Even the articles on eminently notable albums such as e.g. Dnevnik jedne ljubavi are hard to expand beyond stub level. GregorB (talk) 12:09, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

I merged the articles. --Hmxhmx 14:09, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Rivière du Brick

The Brick River (French: Rivière du Brick) is a tributary of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, flowing in the municipality of L'Île-d'Anticosti, in the Minganie Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Côte-Nord, in province of Quebec, in Canada.

A forest road (north–south direction) serves the west side of this valley, connecting the Pointe-Sud-Ouest of the island, via the place called Tour-de-Jupiter (located on the watershed) and the main road passing on the northern slope of the island. A branch of this road descends towards the south-east to join the forest road which runs along the southern coast of the island.

Forestry is the main economic activity in this area; recreational tourism activities, second.

Geography
The Brick River has its source at the confluence of two mountain streams (altitude: 239 m), located in the center of the island. This source is located in a forest area at:
 * 81.8 km east of the town center of the village of Port-Menier;
 * 32.6 km south of the north shore of Anticosti Island;
 * 18.7 km northeast of the south shore of Anticosti Island.

From its source, the Brick River flows on 27.0 km with a drop of 238 m, according to the following segments:

 * 9.3 m towards the south in an increasingly deep valley, collecting many mountain streams (on the east side of the river), then mid-segment, forming a large curve towards west to go around a mountain, to the discharge (coming from the northeast) of a stream. Note: The confluence of this stream corresponds to the locality "Satellite";
 * 9.0 km towards the south in a deep valley, forming a large curve towards the southwest and showing a strong drop, until a bend in the river corresponding to the discharge of a stream ( coming from the north) and a stream (coming from the west);
 * 8.7 km first to the south in a steep valley with a good drop, curving east to go around a mountain, then south, passing under the forest road bridge which runs along the southern coast of the island, and collecting a stream (coming from the northeast) crossing a marsh area, up to its mouth.

The Brick River flows on the east side of the Jumpers Reefs on the south shore of Anticosti Island, in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, or at 15.5 km at the east of Pointe-Sud-Ouest, 21.4 km southeast of the mouth of the Jupiter River and 86.9 km to the southeast from the center of the village of Port-Menier.

Toponymy
This toponymic designation has been in use since the beginning of XXth Century. It originates from a two-masted sailboat generally referred to as brig, having been wrecked in this area.

The toponym "Brick River" was made official on December 5, 1968, at the Place Names Bank of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.

Lac-Salé Ecological Reserve
In 1991, the Quebec government established the "Lac-Salé Ecological Reserve" covering approximately 7000 hectares. Briefly, this reserve was delimited by the middle of the Brick river from its confluence with the Honguedo Strait, going up the river to latitude 5,468,000 m N; thence, easterly, to the center of the Galiote river; then south following the center of the Galiote River, to its confluence with the Straits of Honguedo.

Recreational tourism activities
The Brick canyon is one of the tourist attractions of Anticosti Island with its walls reaching 75 m in height. In Brick-la-Roche, at km 6 of the Brick River, the canyon offers a breathtaking panorama with its plateau and scree slopes. This area is home to a diverse flora. The course of this river has emerald water basins ideal for swimming.

Hikers can learn about geology thanks to the fossils observed on the rock faces. They can also walk in the water on the stony bottom of the river.

In 2000, the Satellite pavilion was moved by SÉPAQ Anticosti to the mouth of the Brick River to better accommodate nature lovers.

Sport fishing with salmon
The Brick River no longer has the status of a salmon river under the Quebec Fishing Regulations since 1993.

The Brick river is frequented by sea trout, no longer by salmon.

Hunting
In 1983, the Ministère du Loisir, de la Chasse et de la Pêche introduced camping hunting at the Brick River. At the time, this addition increased the reception capacity on Anticosti Island; the rest of the offer was administered by outfitters.

Image:NAB cup logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Redirecting some Cups
I've just redirected all cups from 1990 to 2003 (except for 2001) to this page because they had no context and their content was only some randomly placed data. Please, recreate them only when there's enought context. Try to create articles like the 2004 - 2008 cups. Victao lopes (talk) 20:12, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Will someone tell me where to upload a file which I can personally place in the public domain, a location which will prove acceptable to ShakespeareFan00? DougS (talk) 23:33, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

 * In follow-up, I've been able to finally view the image.

To the uploader, I am willing to accept that you asked the relevant photographer directly ( i.e work for hire) for this photo, but it would be advised to get the photographer concerned to confirm this, leaving a note on the file description page, or by an appropriate e-mail to permissions-commonswikimedia.org.

Apologies for the inconvenience, but Wikipedia likes to be sure about image media it's using, even when it would be obvious to other people that it was intended to be under a "free" license. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 07:57, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Wikipedia sets a low bar for broadcast stations. WP:BCAST says notability may be presumed if the station produces some of its own programming. Somoy TV does, specifically current affairs talk shows and news. Alexa ranks their website, somoynews.tv, seventh in a country of 165 million people. The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Bangladesh (2016) says that BBC Media Action placed Somoy TV's talk show Sompadokiyo among the five most popular of the 51 being aired on various Bangladeshi channels in January 2014. Common sense tells us that even if the amount of information available in English is limited, our readers would be served by a stub that tells them what we know - when it was licensed, when it began broadcasting, who owns it, what format it follows, how popular it is, what has gotten it into trouble with the authorities, etc. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:56, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Somoy TV is one of the most popular private News TV channels in Bangladesh, in the news media related publisher. also i agree with Vinegarymass911.-- Nahal (T) 07:27, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

doing edits to Arlene Harris (inventor) page
I want to replace the first reference with one more relevant to the words and one that loads more quickly so people can see it. The current first 2 references are the same and not as relevant as the one I want to use. References 3 and 4 are good. The current page indicates that more references are needed later on the page as paragraphs were written originally without references. I will add more that currently exist (17) by adding 12 new ones. Some of the current ones are broken. Ultimately, I want to rearrange some content in the order that it happened. Wrethink and Wrethinking will be moved to the end as they are current efforts. I already added words and corrected spelling in sections. Now the goal is to add more references where Wikipedia requested more and to replace ones that aren't working.

Draft:Philosophy

Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument.

"Philosophy is a study of problems which are ultimate, abstract and general. These problems are concerned with the nature of existence, knowledge, morality, reason and human purpose."

"The aim of philosophical inquiry is to gain insight into questions about knowledge, truth, reason, reality, meaning, mind, and value."

Theory of philosophy
"Philosophy is rationally critical thinking, of a more or less systematic kind about the general nature of the world (metaphysics or theory of existence), the justification of belief (epistemology or theory of knowledge), and the conduct of life (ethics or theory of value). Each of the three elements in this list has a non-philosophical counterpart, from which it is distinguished by its explicitly rational and critical way of proceeding and by its systematic nature. Everyone has some general conception of the nature of the world in which they live and of their place in it. Metaphysics replaces the unargued assumptions embodied in such a conception with a rational and organized body of beliefs about the world as a whole. Everyone has occasion to doubt and question beliefs, their own or those of others, with more or less success and without any theory of what they are doing. Epistemology seeks by argument to make explicit the rules of correct belief formation. Everyone governs their conduct by directing it to desired or valued ends. Ethics, or moral philosophy, in its most inclusive sense, seeks to articulate, in rationally systematic form, the rules or principles involved."

Def.

 * 1) a written work, or academic discipline, “that seeks truth through reasoning rather than empiricism”
 * 2) a "love of wisdom"
 * 3) a "comprehensive system of belief"
 * 4) a "view or outlook [regarding fundamental principles underlying] of some other domain" is called a philosophy.

Philosophy is often [generally] "divided into five major subtopics [branches]: logic, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and aesthetics."

Definition theory
“[D]efinitions are always of symbols, for only symbols have meanings for definitions to explain.” A term can be one or more of a set of symbols such as words, phrases, letter designations, or any already used symbol or new symbol.

In the theory of definition, “the symbol being defined is called the definiendum, and the symbol or set of symbols used to explain the meaning of the definiendum is called the definiens.” “The definiens is not the meaning of the definiendum, but another symbol or group of symbols which, according to the definition, has the same meaning as the definiendum.”

Def. "[t]he term - word or phrase - defined in a definition" is called a definiendum.

Def. "[t]he word or phrase that defines the definiendum in a definition" is called a definiens.

Semantics
Def.
 * 1. "the study of meanings:"
 * 1.a: "the historical and psychological study and the classification of changes in the signification of words or forms viewed as factors in linguistic development",
 * 1.b: "a branch of semiotic dealing with the relations between signs and what they refer to and including theories of denotation, extension, naming, and truth"
 * 2.a: "the meaning or relationship of meanings of a sign or set of signs; [especially]: connotative meaning"
 * 2.b: "the exploitation of connotation and ambiguity (as in propaganda)"

is called semantics.

Def. "the branch of linguistics devoted to the investigation of linguistic meaning, the interpretation of expression in a language system." is called semantics.

Starting with universals and ontology, where the word "semantics" is in category 543. MEANING, a definition of semantics using concepts from categories lower in number than 543 may be as follows:

Def. the knowledge of the nature of ideas transferred among entities is called semantics.

Every word after Def. and before "is called" has its most popular category of usage less than 543.

Impredicative definitions
Def. "definable only in terms of a totality of which it is itself a part" is called impredicative.

"When a set M and a particular object m are so defined that on the one hand m is a member of M, and on the other hand the definition of m depends on M, we say that the procedure (or the definition of m, or the definition of M) is impredicative. Similarly, when a property P is possessed by an object m whose definition depends on P (here M is the set of the objects which possess the property P). An impredicative definition is circular, at least on its face, as what is defined participates in its own definition."

Finite definability
Richard's paradox (1905), "substantially given by Dixon 1906, deals with the notion of finite definability."

"For definiteness, let this refer to a given language, say the English language with a preassigned alphabet, dictionary and grammar. The alphabet we may take as consisting of the blank space (to separate words), the 26 Latin letters, and the comma. By an 'expression' in the language we may understand simply any finite sequence of these 28 symbols not beginning with a blank space. The expressions in the English language can then be enumerated by the device [...] of the matrix [which] constitutes a general one for enumerating [...] algebraic equations [such as] a pairing between members of two collections or 'sets' of objects [called] a one-to-one (1-1) correspondence."

Consider "the function whose value, for any given natural number as argument, is equal to one more than the value, for the given natural number as argument, of the function defined by the expression which corresponds to the given natural number in the last described enumeration".

"In the [above] quoted expression we refer to the above described enumeration of the expressions in the English language defining a number-theoretic function, without defining it. But we could easily have written in the definition of that enumeration in full, as part of the quoted expression. We should then have before us a definition of a function (briefly, the function fn(n) + 1), by an expression in the English language. This function, by its definition, must differ from every function definable by an expression in the English language."

Consider, "the least natural number not nameable in fewer than twenty-two syllables". "This expression names in twenty-one syllables a natural number which by definition cannot be named in fewer than twenty-two syllables! (Berry 1906)."

Logic
Def.

 * a(1): "a science that deals with the canons and criteria of validity of inference and demonstration : the science of the normative formal principles of reasoning"
 * (2): "a branch of semiotic; [especially: syntactics]"
 * (3): "the formal principles of a branch of knowledge"
 * b: "a particular mode of reasoning"
 * c: "interrelation or sequence of facts or events when seen as inevitable or predictable"

is called logic.

Similar to the above dictionary, or lexical, definition is

Def. logic "is the study of correct argumentation."

Def. a "method of human thought that involves thinking in a linear, step-by-step pattern [manner] about how a problem can be solved" is called logic.

Def. the "study of the principles and criteria of valid inference and demonstration" is called logic.

Def. the "mathematical study of relationships between rigorously defined concepts and of mathematical proof of statements" is called logic.

Def. a "formal or informal language together with a deductive system or a model-theoretic semantics" is called logic.

Def. any "system of thought, whether rigorous and productive or not, especially one associated with a particular person" is called logic.

Metaphysics
Def. the "branch of philosophy which studies fundamental principles intended to describe or explain all that is, and which are not themselves explained by anything more fundamental; the study of first principles; the study of being insofar as it is being " is called metaphysics.

Epistemology
Def. the "branch of philosophy dealing with" the study of knowledge; theory of knowledge, asking such questions as "What is knowledge?", "How is knowledge acquired?", "What do people know?", "How do we know what we know?" is called epistemology.

Ethics
Def. the "study of principles relating to right and wrong conduct" or the "standards that govern the conduct of a person, especially a member of a profession" is called ethics.

Usage notes

"Although the terms ethics and morality may sometimes be used interchangeably, philosophical ethicists often distinguish them, using ethics to refer to theories and conceptual studies relating to good and evil and right and wrong, and using morality and its related terms to refer to actual, real-world beliefs and practices concerning proper conduct." "In this vein, the American philosopher Brand Blanshard wrote concerning his friend, the eminent British ethicist G. E. Moore:" "We often discussed ethics, but seldom morals.... He was a master in ethical theory, but did not conceive himself as specially qualified to pass opinions on politics or social issues."

Aesthetics
Def. the "study or philosophy of beauty" is called aesthetics.

Continental philosophy
"Continental philosophy is a term used in philosophy to designate one of two major contemporary "traditions" of current Western philosophy. It is so named to distinguish it from analytic philosophy, because, at the time when this, so-called, "Schism between Analytic and Continental Philosophy" first occurred (in the mid-twentieth century), continental philosophy was the dominant style of philosophy in continental Europe, while analytical philosophy was the predominant style in the English-speaking world and in Scandinavia. Continental philosophy is generally agreed to include phenomenology, existentialism, hermeneutics, structuralism, post-structuralism and post-modernism, deconstruction, French feminism, critical theory such as that of the Frankfurt School, psychoanalysis, the works of Friedrich Nietzsche and Søren Kierkegaard, and most branches of Marxism and Marxist philosophy (though there also exists a self-described Analytical Marxism)."

Dominant group
“The dominant group in educational philosophy, if one is to judge by the lists of set texts and required readings at English-speaking universities, is the School of Philosophical Analysis represented by Richard S. Peters, Paul H. Hirst, and Michael Oakeshott, with their American contemporaries Israel Scheffler, William R. Perry, and others who are cited in Chapter 7. Deconstruction, Critical Theory and Post-Modernism figure in Chapters 10 and 12, with scandinavian thinkers from Kierkegaard to Bohr in Chapter 11.”

"But, in Western societies, when litigation does take place, the plaintiff is unable to be heard because the regulation of the conflict takes place in the idiom of one party-the economically dominant group."

Universals
"When we examine common words, we find that, broadly speaking, proper names stand for particulars, while other substantives, adjectives, prepositions, and verbs stand for universals."

Hypotheses

 * 1) Philosophers work on unanswerable questions.

Portrait
As you can see on the, the portrait on the coffin is c:Commons:De minimis. (and even that is disputed) To focus on just that portrait using CSS is really wrong. Using CSS for that purpose seems questionable anyway: crop the photo and upload it as a new file to Commons. In this case, that will probably result in deletion. Which means you can't crop it with CSS either.

This page already includes a fair use image that shows what he looks like, so the portrait probably can't be added as fair use. If there is a community out there that reads this: you are free to contact his family and friends to try and obtain permission to release an image with Creative Commons license. Go to c:COM:OTRS for more details.

You could also draw/paint a completely new portrait yourself and upload it as your own work. Do not trace existing images though. Alexis Jazz (talk) 20:02, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Phage project

“We need to engage students and make research opportunities broadly available if we are to prepare them for science in the future.” - Graham F. Hatfull

Welcome to the Wikiversity Phage Learning Project, part of the Open Source Science Project.

Project Description
This project allows participants to access phage gene databases and participate in phage genomics research projects. The inspiration for this project was a recently published article reporting phage genome results obtained by high school and college students.

A few viruses that infect bacteria have been carefully studied as laboratory model systems, but bacterial virus are very diverse and as a group they have many proteins with unknown functions. Much remains to be discovered about the diversity, evolution and ecological impact of phage.

Synopsis
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacterial hosts and are estimated to be the most numerous biological entities in the biosphere. Insights into the genetic diversity of the bacteriophage population and the evolutionary mechanisms that give rise to it can be obtained using comparative genomic analyses. The genomic analysis of 30 complete mycobacteriophages—viruses that infect mycobacterial hosts—reveals them to be genetically diverse and to contain many previously unidentified genes. The high diversity and relatively small genome sizes of these phages provide an ideal platform for introducing high school and undergraduate students to the research laboratory, isolating and naming novel viruses, and determining their genomic sequences. The thrill of discovering new viruses and previously unidentified genes, coupled with ownership of individual phage projects, provides strong motivations for students to engage in and pursue scientific research.

Online phage genome resources
GenBank - Search the GenBank database for the accession number for one of the phages from the Hatfull article such as phage L5 (number Z18946). Select "Genome" from the drop-down menu and enter Z18946 in the search field (Figure 2).

You should be shown: NC_001335 Mycobacterium phage L5, complete genome dsDNA; linear; Length: 52,297 nt

Click on the NC_001335 link and you should reach a page for "Mycobacterium phage L5, complete genome". Near the bottom of that page there is a map of the L5 phage genome. In the map, if you click on the arrow representing the first predicted protein (L5p01) you will go to a page that shows the amino acid sequence for that protein.

Blast
The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool allows you to search for similarities between sequences. To search for sequence similarities to the Mycobacterium phage L5 genome, click on the "GenBank: Z18946" link in the GenBank summary page for phage L5 (see Figure 3). You should be taken to a new page with sequence information for the L5 phage. Near the top of that page, fond the GenBank identification number, GI:15859. You can use the number (15859) with the BLAST tool to search for other known sequences that are similar to the L5 genomic sequence.

In the main BLAST page, select "Nucleotide-nucleotide BLAST" from the list of available search tools (Figure 4). On the BLAST search page, type "15859" into the search box and click the "BLAST!" button. You should then see a page that says "Your request has been successfully submitted and put into the Blast Queue." and something like "The results are estimated to be ready in 9 seconds but may be done sooner." Wait the estimated time and then click the "Format!" button.

When the BLAST search is done, you should see a graphical summary of sequence similarity results (Figure 5). For the example shown, the mouse cursor was over the sequence with greatest similarity to phage L5, another phage called Che12. If you click on part of the graphical representation of the Che12 sequence, you will move down the page where detailed sequence alignments are shown and it says "3150/3562 (88%)" indicating that for 3562 nucleotides of similar sequences in L5 and Che12 there is 88% sequence identity.

Just below the graphical summary there should be a link called, "Distance tree of results". Clicking on that link should show a tree that indicates the types of sequences with similarity to the L5 phage (see Figure 6, below).

In the distance tree, some of the sequence matches are to artificial vector sequences. Other significant sequence matches are for other viruses (including Che12, D29, FRAT1, Bxz2, see Figure 1, above) and bacteria. For example, the Mycobacterium "MCS" has two short regions of sequence similarity to the L5 phage sequence. These sequence similarities between viruses and bacteria suggest that there have been recent genetic recombinations between bacterial genomes and these phage genomes.

Note that most of the viruses in this study were isolated according to their ability to infect Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155. The only exception was L5 which was isolated after it infected Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Exercises

 * Are there any protein-coding genes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that have sequence similarity to proteins of the L5 phage?
 * Make a list of the non-mycobacterial bacteria that have sequence similarity to known Mycobacterial viruses. Are these bacteria closely related to mycobacteria?

Organic Chemistry/Cover

Welcome to the world's foremost open content  Organic Chemistry Textbook   on the web!

The Study of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry is primarily devoted to the unique properties of the carbon atom and its compounds. These compounds play a critical role in biology and ecology, Earth sciences and geology, physics, industry, medicine and — of course — chemistry. At first glance, the new material that organic chemistry brings to the table may seem complicated and daunting, but all it takes is concentration and perseverance. Millions of students before you have successfully passed this course and you can too!

This field of chemistry is based less on formulas and more on reactions between various molecules under different conditions. Whereas a typical general chemistry question may ask a student to compute an answer with an equation from the chapter that they memorized, a more typical organic chemistry question is along the lines of "what product will form when substance X is treated with solution Y and bombarded by light". The key to learning organic chemistry is to understand it rather than cram it in the night before a test. It is all well and good to memorize the mechanism of Michael addition, but a superior accomplishment would be the ability to explain why such a reaction would take place.

As in all things, it is easier to build up a body of new knowledge on a foundation of solid prior knowledge. Students will be well served by much of the knowledge brought to this subject from the subject of General Chemistry. Concepts with particular importance to organic chemists are covalent bonding, Molecular Orbit theory, VSEPR Modeling, understanding acid/base chemistry vis-a-vis pKa values, and even trends of the periodic table. This is by no means a comprehensive list of the knowledge you should have gained already in order to fully understand the subject of organic chemistry, but it should give you some idea of the things you need to know to succeed in an organic chemistry test or course.

Organic Chemistry is one of the subjects which are very useful and close to our daily life. We always try to figure out some of the unknown mysteries of our daily life through our factious thinking habit, which generates superstitions. Through the help of chemistry we can help ourselves to get out of this kind of superstition. We always try to find the ultimate truth through our own convenience. In the ancient past we had struggled to make things to go as per our need. In that context we have found fire, house, food, transportation, etc...

Now the burning question is: "how can chemistry help our daily life?" To find the answer of this questions, we have to know the subject thoroughly. Let us start it from now.

Puzzles/Riddles

Puzzles - Riddles

Generally, a riddle is a sort of puzzle in which one is asked a question and makes attempts to come to an answer. A riddle can be a puzzling question, a hypothetical problem to be solved, or what is often also referred to as a thought experiment. Often, posing riddles can be used for other purposes than puzzlement, like the famous hangman's riddles, as well as for argumentative or political ends, where the answer is not so much a mystery but is presented as though it were. There are many types of riddles depending on their structure, their format, and what methods of thinking they require to solve. Many riddles are tricky, in that they manipulate language or common thought processes to make the answer seem less clear, like garden path riddles. The largest category of riddles are identity riddles, in which a common object or other phenomenon is described, and the solution is to correctly identify what that common object is by naming it. This is often used in educational settings as well as children's learning rhymes.

Below are the some of the more commonly known puzzles in existence.

The Riddle of the Sphinx
Perhaps one of the most famous or perhaps the most well known riddles are The Riddle of the Sphinx. As humankind’s earliest puzzle, it is among the ten greatest of all time. This is the first known recorded puzzle in the human history that are coming out of from that very legend.

Legend has it that a similarly enormous sphinx guarded the entrance to the ancient  city  of  Thebes. According to  legend,  when  mythical Greek king Oedipus  approached  the  city  of  Thebes,  he encountered a gigantic sphinx ( a mythology beast with human face with the body of lion) guarding the entrance to the city. The menacing beast confronted the mythic king and posed the following riddle to him, warning that if he failed to answer it correctly, he would die instantly at the sphinx’s hands.

The Sphinx ask Oedipus:

Oedipus, after thinking for the moments answered,

Upon hearing the correct answer, the astonished sphinx killed itself, and Oedipus entered Thebes as the hero for ridding the city of the terrible monster that had kept it captive for so long.

The Riddle of the Sphinx is considered to be the prototype for all riddles. It is intentionally constructed to harbor a non-obvious answer:namely, that life’s three phases of infancy, adulthood,and old age are comparable, respectively, to the three phases of a day (morning, noon, and night). Its function in the Oedipus story, moreover, suggests that puzzles may have originated as tests of intelligence and thus as probes of human mentality.

The Samson’s Marriage Riddle
The another examples are from the biblical story of Samson's Marriage Riddle. At his wedding feast, Samson, obviously wanting to impress the relatives of his wife-to-be, posed the following riddle to his Philistine guests. If they could given him answer to the riddles, he will gives them thirty linen garments and thirty sets of clothes and vice versa will happened if they couldn't answer.

Judges 14:14

Samson contrived his riddle to describe something that he once witnessed: A swarm of bees that made honey in  a  lion’s  carcass. Hence, the  wording  of  the  riddle:  the  “eater”  =“swarm of bees”; “the strong” = the “lion”; and “came forth sweetness” =“made honey.”

The deceitful guests, however, took advantage of the seven days to coerce the answer from Samson’s wife. When they gave Samson the correct response, Judge 14:18

The mighty biblical hero became enraged, returned his newly wed wives to her family members and declared war against all Philistines which will led to his eventual downfall.

From this examples, yet again, we can see that the usage of riddles since the ancient time to test of one's intellect.

The riddle of King Solomon and Queen Sheba
In this story of The riddle of King Solomon and Queen Sheba, the biblical Queen Sheba upon hearing the wisdom of King Solomon,pay a visit to the King himself and organize riddle contests simply for the pleasure of outwitting each other.

The Queen Sheba asked King Solomon the first riddle: King Solomon answered:

Stunned by his answer, Queen Sheba asked him the second riddles: Again King Solomon answered: (In the Hebrew literature story, Lot is daughter who became pregnant by their father,Haran and bore sons).

For the third riddle, Queen Sheba brought up 2 children who are of same facial feature, same height, same attire. She asked King Solomon made a sign to his eunuchs, who brought him nuts and roasted ears of corn, which they scattered before the children. The males, who were not bashful, collected them and tied them within the hems of their garments. The girls, however, were bashful (since their bodies would be revealed if they were to tie their undergarments) and therefore tied them within their outer garments.

Therefore, King Solomon commented: "These are the males, and these are the females"

Again dumbfounded by King Solomon wisdom, for the final riddles, she bought out a group of people circumcised and uncircumcised. Again, she riddled King Solomon King Solomon immediately made a sign to the High Priest to open the Ark of the Covenant. Within moments of opening of the Ark, whose who were circumcised stood or bowed their bodies to half their height, while their countenances were filled with the radiance of the Shekhinah. The uncircumcised, however, fell on their faces.

In this story, we could see that riddles is sometimes presented as a practical problem to be solved as seen in the last two of the riddles posed by Queen Sheba.

Talk:Ralph Goodwin (16th-century MP)

(16th century MP) to (16th-century MP)
Would there be any objection to moving this article to Ralph Goodwin (16th-century MP)? Since 16th and century are working together as a compound adjective before the noun MP, it should be hyphenated. Ralph Goodwin (16th century MP) would remain as a redirect to the new title. If there's a consensus, or at least no objection, I'll make the move in about a week. Thank you. SchreiberBike (talk) 04:31, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Excellent Decision!
Now the first three frames are:

$$\Rightarrow$$ Fade In $$\Rightarrow$$  $$\Rightarrow$$ Cut To  $$\Rightarrow$$   $$\Rightarrow$$ Cut To  $$\Rightarrow$$   $$\Rightarrow$$  $$\Rightarrow$$

Special Note:
You did NOT cross the line!!! You did not dolly out and so you did NOT cross the imaginary line between the Young Person and the Old Person. That means you must stay on this side of the line (between the actors and the poster) for the rest of the movie unless you move the camera during a shot to the other side of this imaginary line. You have made a major decision… probably without even knowing it. This will effect the entire rest of the movie.
