Note 6
Just added info on relatively well-known atrocity of the Great Synagogue in Bialystock using hastily marshalled sourcing. Then I note the entry on Great Synagogue (Bialystok) uses a blog source from "wayback" that quotes different data. I think my source is more accurate but don't really care in context of Wikipedia. I added both sources and range of data. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:16, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

4th of July (U2 song)

"4th of July" is a song by Irish rock band U2, and is the sixth track from their 1984 album, The Unforgettable Fire. The song is an instrumental ambient track that was spontaneously improvised by bassist Adam Clayton and guitarist the Edge while producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois recorded, unbeknownst to the band. It has never been performed live, although Clayton did play it as a warm-up during a soundcheck before U2's concert in San Jose on 20 April 2001.

Description
"4th of July" came about almost entirely through a moment of inspiration from Eno through capturing a moment. At the end of a studio session, Eno overheard Adam Clayton doodling on a simple bass figure, with guitarist The Edge joining in and improvising a few bottleneck guitar ideas over the top of Clayton's bass. Eno liked what he was hearing, so unbeknownst to both of them, he recorded it ad hoc as it was being played, straight to two-track 1/4-inch master tape - and that was the song finished, with no possibility of redoing parts of it later. Eno added further treatments on Edge's guitar sound whilst recording, resulting in keyboard-like sounds even though there are two instruments playing throughout. Eventually, the piece would be forgotten about until it was unearthed at the end of the sessions, and Bono insisted on its inclusion on The Unforgettable Fire. A two-minute excerpt of the 10-minute-long improvisation was included.

U2 called it "4th of July" to commemorate the birth of Edge's daughter, Hollie, Bono's godchild, who was born on that date, right in the middle of making the album.

It is the only instrumental song on a regular full-length U2 album (not including Passengers). It was frequently used as the last song played before U2 took the stage during the Unforgettable Fire Tour. The song is regularly played on Music Choice's "Sounds of the Seasons" channel when playing patriotic music in the days leading to (and during) the Fourth of July holiday.

Nachavule

Nachavule (నచ్చావులే) is a 2008 Telugu film directed by Ravi Babu and produced by Ramoji Rao. The film was the debut for the stars Tanish and Maadhavi Latha. The film is a teenage romantic comedy. It was released on 19 December, 2008. The film won three Nandi Awards.

Synopsis
The film is told as an autobiographical narrative in the voice of Luv Kumar.

Luv Kumar's parents fell in love and married despite belonging to different linguistic backgrounds. In the present, love has faded, because his father takes his wife’s affection for granted.

Looking for a female partner, Luv scours Hyderabad. He believes in a twisted logic that getting the first girlfriend is tough and after that, the deluge would follow. He befriends Anu under strange circumstances. He shows off his new girlfriend to whoever cares. Suddenly, girls start finding him attractive, including women who had rejected him earlier. He goes on a spree with numerous girls, conveniently forgetting Anu who has fallen hopelessly in love with him. At a party, he lies to friends within Anu’s earshot that he has slept with her. This breaks Anu’s heart and she decides to leave him and the town. Luv cannot understand her sudden coldness, but continues to ignore her.

When Luv's mother dies, plunging his family into enormous grief, his father reflects on his relationship with his wife and feels terrible that he had taken her love for granted. He tells his son that we only realize the true value of people once they have left us. This strikes a chord in Luv who realizes how he has taken Anu’s love for granted and hurt her. He leaves to find Anu and win her back. However, a MMS video of Luv and Anu kissing was inadvertently released by someone who recently bought Luv’s phone, which was stolen and sold off by his little brother. This resulted in Anu’s hatred towards Luv to increase. When she and her father decided to leave Hyderabad, Luv tries to stop her as her life was under threat by someone who held a grudge against Luv. After seeing Luv get stabbed, she saved him and took him to the hospital. After sometime, Luv and Anu have reconciled as friends joining the same university, with Luv reflecting on how he realized he’s not yet ready for relationships.

Soundtrack
The music was composed by Shekhar Chandra and the lyrics were penned by Bhaskarabhatla.

Controversy
Maadhavi Latha alleged that she was severely harassed and her mother scolded for refusing to become close with an important person in the movie team during shooting, and refusing to wear a short dress. Another major revelation is that production company Ushakiran Movies pays less than production houses.

L. Harvey Smith

Leonard Harvey Smith (born December 19, 1948) is an American Democratic Party politician who has served in the General Assembly from January 8, 2008 to January 10, 2010, where he represented the 31st legislative district. He is the former Acting Mayor of Jersey City, New Jersey and previously served in the New Jersey Senate. He did not seek re-election in 2009.

Biography
Smith received a B.S. from Long Island University in Health / Physical Education and an M.A. from New Jersey City University in Psychology / Counseling.

Smith served in the Assembly on the Higher Education Committee and the Transportation, Public Works and Independent Authorities Committee.

A three-term Jersey City councilman who spent four years as City Council President, Smith served as Acting Mayor following the death of Mayor Glenn Cunningham in May 2004 until the certification of the results of a special election in November 2004. Smith ran in the special election to fill the remainder of Cunningham's term which expired in July 2005, but lost to Judge Jerramiah T. Healy.

In 2003, Smith ran against Cunningham for a seat in the New Jersey Senate representing parts of Jersey City and all of Bayonne. While endorsed by the Hudson County Democratic Organization, Smith lost in the primary to Cunningham. In October 2003, when State Sen. Joseph Charles resigned early to become a state judge, Smith was selected by Democratic Party leaders to fill the remainder of Charles' Senate term until January 2004. He was sworn into the Senate seat in November 2003.

Smith, a former teacher, was appointed as an Undersheriff of Hudson County after he left the State Senate. He took a leave as undersheriff to serve as acting mayor and then returned to the post. He did not seek reelection to the City Council in 2005.

In March 2007, Smith announced his campaign in the Democratic Primary for the State Assembly on a ticket headed by former Jersey City First Lady Sandra Bolden Cunningham. Smith won a spot on the ballot in the June 2007 primary and won an uncontested election in November 2007. Smith served one term in the Assembly as a representative of the 31st legislative district.

On June 8, 2009, Smith introduced a bill into the New Jersey State Assembly that would ban the use of GPS systems in cars.

Operation Bid Rig
Smith was one of 44 individuals arrested on July 23, 2009, as part of Operation Bid Rig, a joint operation of the FBI, IRS, and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey into political corruption and money laundering. Smith was charged with accepting $15,000 in bribes in exchange for obtaining approval of building plans.

Despite call for Smith's resignation from Governor Jon Corzine and others, Smith has said that he would remain in office. In a letter sent to Assembly Speaker Joseph J. Roberts on August 6, 2009, Smith stated, "I believe that the resignation of my position as assemblyman is inconsistent with the presumption of innocence." Roberts, however, has said that he would suspend Smith's pay and benefits.

On February 9, 2010, Smith was indicted for receiving $15,000 in bribes from a government informant. He pleaded not guilty and planned to use an entrapment defense for the federal trial, scheduled to begin on November 29, 2010. After a three-week trial, Smith was acquitted of all charges on December 16, 2010.

Talk:David McWilliams (economist)

2007 Discussion
At the age of 22 you were drafting EU legislation? Who do you think believes that?! I won't even go into the other crap that you spouted about yourself in this article. Hint: If you're goin to write your own Wiki page a)make it believable and b)don't make it so obvious that you wrote it yourself. I'm just glad that the latter part of the article has been added in giving a fuller view of your real personality. I'm just wondering when you are going to start writing the Wiki page for your oh so original and entertaining buzz words... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:54, 21 February 2007 (UTC).

 * This article is ridiculous rubbish. Big claims and absolutely nothing to back them up...typical David McWilliams I suppose. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rgarvin (talk • contribs) 12:44, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

 * I've removed the neutrality tag - completely incorrectly placed. The article simply needs more references; most of it seems copied and pasted from his own bio page. Schcambo (talk) 19:00, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

2009 Discussion
The article is still incredible... there are whole self serving passsages that are STILL intact from http://www.davidmcwilliams.ie/about  SO 1) When you see this, DELETE them,   2)   Don't say we just need more refs   3) Don't remove the neutrality tag.  Anyway by the time I'm finished with this evening, should be better.    cckkab (talk) 18:40, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I'll put this very plainly: a lot of what you have done is quite simply inserting your own POV to this article. There's a happy medium between info found on his own website and others' deprecation of such, and unfortunately we've swung from one pole to the other. Exemplary of this is your complete of all mention of him being an economist. That's just foolish. It's completely verifiable from a multitude of sources, and you're not helping your arguments by being so purposely ignorant. Anyway, I'll get back to you some more once I've taken a better look. Hopefully we can reach a happy compromise. -- Schcambo aon scéal? 23:37, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Also, this link doesn't mention the Maastricht Treaty. The line it supposedly referenced can be found here however, which is an acceptable source. -- Schcambo aon scéal? 23:47, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Please, stop for a moment and take some time out. This is completely unacceptable: "McWilliams is known for his nationalistic, eurosceptic views, and his strong defence of the common citizen". You're basing it on one interview. How is he "known" for that interview? Can you find me anything anywhere in a veriable source where someone discusses that interview? Is there any reaction to it anywhere? No. And until there is, leave it out. You're drawing sweeping conclusions from your own mind. -- Schcambo aon scéal? 23:55, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Someone has already pointed this out to you on your talk page: do not use discussion forums, like politics.ie, as references. -- Schcambo aon scéal? 23:57, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Also note: "as illustrated by the subsequent media references" is not a reference. -- Schcambo aon scéal? 00:08, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Schcambo

You take self serving text (probably unwittingly) from the McWilliams biographies scattered around the place, and take them as fact !! You are retaining verbatim quotes from McWilliams as fact!

"McWilliams became the youngest director ever at UBS" You restored the verbatim quote from McWillams' website. This is patently untrue. I worked there. And the linkedin stats prove it. Over a quarter of junior positions at UBS are 'Directors" You deleted this. Can you restore all this text please?

McWilliams as an "Economist". You deleted the reference to him as a journalist. He describes himself as an economist everywhere. Does that suffice to delete "journalist". DMW has a basic degree in economics, He worked 3 years in his first job 15 years ago at the CBI as a junior economist. Then he worked as an investment analyst, and a journalist /broadcaster since. I can assure you that professional economists today do not see DMW as an economist. He has never published any research or any work that can be classified as "economics", the hallmark of an economist. I appreciate that you may see him as an economist Yet he is not working as one. What is unacceptable is that you delete journalist.

We cite the verbatim comments from David McWilliams on Marion Finucane He also made a clear call for the reintroduction of the Irish pound (I didn't transcribe it, but can do so). These are facts.

Yes you are right, we should not use discussion forums, like politics.ie, as references. We cite the facts or quotes. That is enough in this case You have deleted the facts from the David McWilliams page. Can you please restore them?

I also believe the article should at the top state in one line briefly what DMW's key are .. which very clearly are eurosceptic, and ultra nationalist, given all the far right quotes (although ultra nationalist is not the right word in Ireland... maybe ultra sovereignist)

You also deleted all the following, without comment, which all appears reasonable and necessary to me... McWilliams website makes several additional claims concerning his career:
 * McWilliams claims that he first coined the phrase "Celtic Tiger". However The first recorded use of the phrase is in a 1994 Morgan Stanley report by Kevin Gardiner.

 * At the age of 27 McWilliams writes on his website that he "became the youngest ever 'Director' at UBS", in his first job in an investment bank, in the UK. Yet over a quarter of the total employees at the UBS investment banking division in 2006 had the title of 'Director'.

 * McWilliams credits himself as head of Emerging Markets Research for Banque Nationale de Paris at the ages of 30-31. Moreover during his stint there, "the Emerging markets team was the most profitable unit of the Banque Nationale de Paris world-wide", according to McWilliams' website.

 * McWilliams credits himself with being the first to predict the 2008 demise in Ireland's property market and economy..

And why did you delete italics for quotes... maybe I don't know style book Thanks for your advice. cckkab (talk) 00:56, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey Schcambo... you are not penning for DMW or related to him perchance. Incredibly you put back in... "At the age of 22 DMW was drafting EU legislation?"... that is the whole point ... the very first line... of this discussion...!! Who do you think believes that??? I am sure he did have a hand (a tiny tiny hand) in it, but it is not worthy of the mention that it is given. Get real. Please restore. cckkab (talk) 01:22, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Firstly, stop talking such BS. I'm not writing for David McWilliams, nor do I have any intention of doing so. A quick look at my contributions would have shown you I have far more experience as a user than you have. 1. Now, tell me, why are you continually "referencing" this page? Have you looked at it recently? It does not mention the Celtic Tiger, let alone claiming he coined the term. It does not mention his being a director at UBS. That fact is now referenced in the article via the Irish Independent. It does not mention the Banque Nationale de Paris. It does not mention the recession, nor does it claim McWilliams first predicted it. Moreover, the page in question was published on 17 January, 2007. That's before the recession even began. Honestly, where are you getting this stuff? 2. No, quotes shouldn't be in italics. 3. You're not going to convince anyone he isn't an economist, so I'd suggest you stop trying. If a mechanic is unemployed or gets a job in a local business say, is he no longer a mechanic? Also, I didn't delete journalist. It's still there in the very first sentence of the entire article. See? 4. There's an inherent difference between what it says in the article, that McWilliams was "helping to draft" E.U. legislation (which is referenced from a reliable source), and you saying above that I'm claiming he was "drafting" E.U. legislation. Please dude, get a life. You clearly hate the man, but it's not going in here unless you get some references to back it up (and I daresay you won't be able to find any such is the idiocy of some of the things you're making out to be "truth"). -- Schcambo aon scéal? 16:59, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Schcambo Well thanks for these comments 1) There is no need to get personal… it is only Wikipedia! So no need to talk about BS or tell me to get a life

2) You did reinstate elements that were a direct copy paste from davidmcwilliams.ie.   I accept you did this unwittingly. However this is the whole raison d’etre of the start of this discussion! I will edit these out once again, unless you want to do it first. Hopefully we can give a more balanced view, right?.

3) " where he helped draft the Irish submission to the Maastricht Treaty " Sentences like this that you reinstated are a direct copy paste from davidmcwilliams.ie  You say this is referenced from a reliable source !  A 23-year old first out of college, in his first job, gets to help to draft legislation. Incredible!  And this is “sourced” by a 3rd party…?!!! That someone noted what he was doing in his first job?!! Incredible.  He may have put a dot on the i, but is this notable? And this is a lift, a direct quote, from his website. We do not need a sense of realism and balance in this respect.

4) I am not continually "referencing" this page! I don’t even think it particularly notable, when I came across it (it was already in the contribution when I came to it)! However I left it in, under a separate section for awards. If you want to take all references to it out, ok.  If I hated the guy, as you say, I would have taken it out, and certainly not given it prominence. I just want a balanced view... that is all… and it does not come from a copy paste from davidmcwilliams.ie, or associated websites !

5) ok I agree “economist” is debatable, if dubious to me. Maybe you might agree than that he can also be classed as a journalist, his primary occupation? That a journalist writes 2 books hardly merits labelling as an “author” (and knowing the usual connotations associated with this word)?  davidmcwilliams.ie however effectively does use the word “author” and “economist” extensively. Doesn’t make the terms accurate or balanced though!.  Try fitting him into Wikipedia’s “Lists of authors” !

6) Like I said, like has been requested by readers, a short description of his political and economic views at the start of the article are warranted. Do you agree? We can then discuss what might be a neutral description, that is developed more fully in the quotes… right? I note you took out a reference to these quotes… which is ok by me… just I thought it clearer before someone pipes up asking for a reference!

Anyway, I will proceed to make the above changes over the next day or two (and others as flagged above), unless you want to do it first. cckkab (talk) 22:59, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

 * 1. I think by accusing me of writing for the man, you're the one getting a little personal. 2. and 3. There is no longer anything in this article that is referenced exclusively from McWilliams' website. In fact the only two occasions his website is used is in reference to his views on wealth, and in reference to the Young Global Leaders thing. Everything else is referenced by reliable third-party websites. (And if you do find anything that's not, feel free to remove it.) 4. You used that page (here, if you need proof) to reference four seperate claims which do not exist on that page. 5. He is classed as an economist and journalist right now. Stick that in the infobox too if you want. 6. Now, let's not go overboard in saying an anon and a single-purpose account carry much weight around here... I think that's a great idea though, but here's the problem: McWilliams' views are not widely discussed, anywhere. There's the one interview with Marian Finucane, but that's him saying what he thinks. It's totally arguable that he's a eurosceptic, and it's totally arguable that he wants the return of the pound. He doesn't specifically say either, and we can't say it for him, and we don't have some other reputable source(s) saying it either. That's the problem, and I don't really know how we can neutrally circumvent it at this stage. -- Schcambo aon scéal? 23:39, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Schcambo, from Cckkab —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cckkab (talk • contribs) 23:48, 23 January 2009 (UTC) YOU HAVE REINSTATED HAGIOGRAPHIC VERBATIM TEXT FROM DMW’S WEBSITE. You say “There is no longer anything in this article that is referenced exclusively from McWilliams' website”. DMW happens to have recopied the same text onto other websites – e.g. his publishers – and you think this is “independent confirmation”. Wow! And you still have not addressed the issue of how a guy in his early 20s in his first job gets to help drafting key legislation in a central bank, etc..

YOU WILL NOT REINSTATE SOURCES, REFERENCES AND DIRECT QUOTES FROM DMW. Contrary to what you assert, there are many sources for DMW’ views, notably his 2 books (and The Generation Game speaks getting fired!.. read it, pages 135-142, . as does notably another precious source, ... his interview with Eamon Dunphy (where he also talks about the different jobs he has done, and getting fired). You deleted other references e.g. I added what the title “director” in bank means. Why did you do all this damage?

YOU DENY ANY INTERPRETATION OF DMW’S VIEW. You say, “It's totally arguable that he's a eurosceptic, and it's totally arguable that he wants the return of the pound.” Yet the quotes from Marion Finucane indicate both in no uncertain terms! Also read The Generation Game, pages 220-23.

You are right too. I overstepped in some ways as well. Now I am going – given your ongoing unwillingness - to - state his career in a more neutral way, - put back in the references and quotes, and descriptions of them If you are still not happy, I suggest we ask for mediation, a neutral eye to tell us where to go. I HOPE YOU CAN AVOID PERSONAL INSULT, AND THAT WE CAN FIND AGREEMENT. cckkab (talk) 23:44, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi again Schcambo, from Cckkab ON YOUR REINSERTION OF COPY PASTE FROM DMC'S WEBSITE I accept you might have done this unwittingly. But you have an onus to check effectively e.g. enter into google the two following phrases site:.davidmcwilliams.ie "he helped draft the Irish submission to the Maastricht Treaty" and you see the source right there. Anyway the claim is incredible. Some of the other copy paste (also incredbile claims) from davidmcwilliams.ie has just had one or two words changed. NO NEUTRAL READER WOULD ACCEPT SUCH PARAPHRASING. You may not like what I add (and we can talk about that). But please don't put back in paraphrased text that will be deleted, and please don't remove references that I have researched. cckkab (talk) 13:23, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

 * The all-capitals style doesn't really help your cause. Now, are you seriously accusing New York University and the Irish Independent of being biased sources? McWilliams has some influence in this little world but I doubt that extends to controlling a university and a newspaper. McWilliams could quite well be in favour of a politically united Europe. Just because he has suggests we threaten to leave the E.M.U. doesn't mean he is against the E.U. And he doesn't even say that we should take up the pound. He said that usually countries in our position devalue, and that we can't do that quite obviously. He simply uses Britain as an example. He doesn't suggest we change to the pound. (In all fairness, that's as likely as us taking up the dollar.) Oh and do I care if he was really drafting legislation at 22, or to what extent he was doing so? Not in the slightest. If it's referenced, it stays. As with the term 'director'. If they employed him as one, then we list him as one, regardless of what exactly he was doing in the company or how many people did it. -- Schcambo aon scéal? 19:52, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi again Schcambo, from Cckkab “MY CAUSE” IS, I HOPE, YOUR CAUSE TOO! We both want a better article, right? Not to score points? Effectively the article is better now, and Ive learnt something. I hope you will also have constructive changes to propose I’m not going to argue anymore. Let’s hope the article will continue to improve, in the spirit of Wikipedia. (And if we a vandal repasting paraphrased propaganda, we’ll ask an administrator to help out? OK?). Bye, Cckkab cckkab (talk) 01:18, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The section on McWilliams’ views is about as neutral as can be, in letting the eloquent McWilliams speak for himself about the euro etc.
 * . The NYU was recopied from McWilliams.ie. Can you seriously believe that this is independent, so valid, or is the voice of NYU?! That justifies paraphrasing?
 * The Irish Independent article is good and credible. But the line you are interested in starts off, “According to David McWilliams's website…”. I can personally vouch that DMW was appointed a “director” (and context as to what that means is useful).  There is no objective source for being “the youngest ever”. And even if he was, it is not a particularly worthy of mention in itself. And the tone of the Independent is mocking. Also read The Generation Game about getting fired.
 * “do I care if he was really drafting legislation at 22”. What we want are balanced facts, key facts, not propaganda.

School of thought
To what school of economic thought does McWilliams belong? It would probably be worth a mention. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:29, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for tracking this down! <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:01, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Questionable references
Some of the article is in bad need of editing to make it more encyclopedic: The overall impression is that the article has been edited with more enthusiasm than care; this should be overhauled to bring it more into line with Wikipedia policies. This is especially so as this is covered by WP:BLP. Autarch (talk) 00:16, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The word Kilkenomics is linked to the Kilkenomics website with a reference in the footnotes to the same page. WP:RS requires reliable third-party resources.
 * There is a similar problem with the mention of the Dalkey Book Festival - the main body of the text links to the festival web site and the reference cited is a link to the same site! This suggests that these edits were made by someone unfamiliar with proper wikipedia citations.
 * The sentence These ideas are explored extensively in “The Good Room” has a link to the book on Amazon.com as a reference. This looks like WP:REFSPAM.
 * The passage "What I am saying is, that in Europe, if Ireland continues hurtling down this road...idea that France and Germany can just hang us out to dry – as has been the talk the past few days – should not be taken lying down" didn't appear to be a quote at first look - there are no quotes around it. The last sentence looks like an assertion with a relative reference to time. It it only obviously a quote if the reader looks back to the second sentence of the paragraph. This second sentence has two references after "reported in the international press," - they are currently numbered 24 and 25, but they look like they refer to the same article.(One has the author, publisher and article name, the other has a link.)
 * The passage "He maintained that the bank guarantee should have been rescinded...our Government didn't so much lend the State's credibility to the banks as give it to them unconditionally." is another passage that isn't properly quoted. This time the problem with the reference is that it's just a literal string: "[4]". It will be difficult to check, as the current link of that number runs a search for David McWilliams on the Sunday Business Post site.
 * The current number three link links to the front page of the Independent, so it's not clear what article was being referenced in the first place.
 * The current reference number six link is to the Wikipedia article on the Celtic Tiger. Why it is being cited rather than used as a link to the notion of Celtic Tiger is a puzzle, but it is consistent with the poor references in the rest of the article.
 * Ditto the referene number eighteen about the Global Irish Economic Forum.
 * The current reference numbers seven, nine, nineteen and twenty-one are all links to YouTube. These should be checked to make sure they follow WP:YOUTUBE.
 * The current reference numbers one(doesn't provide a working link), ten, fifteen, twenty-seven and twenty-eight link to David McWilliams official website. WP:ELOFFICIAL allows links to an official website connected to the subject, but WP:ELMINOFFICIAL suggests to keep the number of links to a minimum. There may also be an issue of not enough reliable third-party sources.

 * The section Political and economic views starts with a paragraph that claims the subject very few to accurately predict it would all end in a monumental crash with a link to a Youtube video. Said video shows him on an RTE show in 2003 predicting the crash, but does not show whether he was one of "few" economists to do so.
 * The site Rise.global is cited - is it WP:RS?

I've changed the line making the claim that McWilliams was the only economist to predict the crash and that he accurately predicted the consequences of the crash too. These are separate claims and I am looking for evidence to support them in his writings (I accept he may have made remarks of this nature on air). --Taibhseoir (talk) 08:36, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

 * I see that the article is now more carefully phrased to say McWilliams is credited with coining the term "Celtic Tiger", but there is mo mention that it was coined in 1994 by Kevin Gardiner. See here, here, here, here and here. This reference points out that McWilliams conceded that he wasn't the coiner of the term. Given there are reliable sources confirming that Gardiner coined the term, shouldn't the article at least mention that? Autarch (talk) 23:06, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Chemical element

A chemical element is a substance that cannot be changed into any other substance by a normal chemical reaction.

An element is made up of atoms containing electrons, protons and neutrons. Each atom in an element will contain the same number of protons and electrons, for example every carbon atom has six protons and six electrons.

The periodic table of the elements contains lists all of the elements in order of their number of protons and is laid out so that the elements in each group (vertical column) will have similar properties.

Just because two substances contain the same atoms does not always mean that they will have the same properties. Graphite and diamonds are both made completely from carbon atoms, but the way in which they join with each other means that the have different properties.

Atoms of the same element may also contain different numbers of neutrons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.

Internet Technologies/The Internet

The Internet is a worldwide collection of computer networks that began as a single network that was originally created in 1969 by ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency), a U.S. government agency that was far more interested in creating projects that would survive a nuclear war than in creating anything useful for the civilian population.

In its original form, ARPANET, the U.S. government hoped to create a network of computers that would allow communication between government agencies and certain educational centers that would be able to survive a nuclear explosion. It is doubtful that the original founders of ARPANET foresaw what we now know as "the Internet." From its humble beginnings as a military project, the ARPANET grew slowly throughout the 70's and 80's as a community of academics accomplished the truly monumental task of hammering out the building blocks of this new, open, modular conglomeration of networks.

In addition to the U.S. ARPANET, other countries also developed their own computer networks which quickly linked up to ARPANET, such as the UK's JANET (1983 onwards), and Australia's ACSnet (mid-1970s until replaced). Connecting these together would help develop a global internetwork.

The various protocols, including IP, TCP, DNS, POP, and SMTP, took shape over the years, and by the time the World Wide Web (HTML and HTTP) was created in the early 90's, this "Internet" had become a fully functional, fairly robust system of network communication, able to support this new pair of protocols which eventually turned the Internet into a household word.

While a large portion of users today confuse the Web with the Internet itself, it must be emphasized that the Web is only one type of Internet application, and one set of protocols among a great many which were in use for over a decade before the Web entered into the public awareness.

The Web is a subset of the Net. Email is not a part of the Web, and neither are newsgroups, although Web designers have developed web sites through which users, the world over, commonly access both of these much older forms of Internet media.

While the Net is a largely abstract phenomenon, it cannot (at least, not yet) be accurately equated with the concept of "cyberspace" as depicted in science fiction. If "judgement day" were to occur as depicted in the latest "Terminator" film, much of the Internet would survive it, but most of the electrical and data infrastructure by which we access the net would not. The line which currently demarcates the "digital divide" would shift dramatically to a point where it would leave only a small segment of humanity in virtual touch. This limitation, however, will slowly be overcome as wireless technologies continue to proliferate and wired technologies become increasingly cheaper.

In March 1972 ARPA became known as DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, and then went back to ARPA in February 1993 and back to DARPA in March 1996 and has been ever since. It was originally created as ARPA in 1958 in response to the launching of Sputnik. The launch of Sputnik made America realize that the Soviet Union could exploit military technology. DARPA has contributed to the creation of ARPANET as well as the Packet Radio Network, the Packet Satellite Network and the Internet. As well as research into the Artificial Intelligence field commonly referred to as AI. By the late 1970's the Department of Defense had adopted BSD UNIX as the primary operating system for DARPA.

Diabolical cube

The diabolical cube is a three-dimensional dissection puzzle consisting of six polycubes (shapes formed by gluing cubes together face to face) that can be assembled together to form a single 3 × 3 × 3 cube. The six pieces are: one dicube, one tricube, one tetracube, one pentacube, one hexacube and one heptacube, that is, polycubes of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 cubes.

There are many similar variations of this type of puzzle, including the Soma cube and the Slothouber–Graatsma puzzle, two other dissections of a 3 × 3 × 3 cube into polycubes which use seven and nine pieces respectively. However, writes that the diabolical cube appears to be the oldest puzzle of this type, first appearing in an 1893 book Puzzles Old and New by Professor Hoffmann (Angelo Lewis).

Because all of the pieces have only a single layer of cubes, their shape is unchanged by a mirror reflection, so a mirror reflection of a solution produces either the same solution or another valid solution. The puzzle has 13 different solutions, if mirrored pairs of solutions are not counted as being distinct from each other.

Harmony

Harmony is the simultaneous sounding of multiple pitches. Harmony constitutes one of the most important elements of Western Music. Having a thorough knowledge and a firm understanding of Harmony is of the utmost importance to Composers, Performers, Theorists, and Musicologists. The study of harmony focuses on how different relationships or combinations of notes can be manipulated over time. Traditionally, in Western Music, harmony was used to create music which moved from dissonant (jarring or unstable) to consonant (pleasant or stable). This can and usually applies to music on a large scale formal level and the chord to chord phrase level. Although the decision which sounds are characterized as consonant or dissonant have varied from age to age, and from place to place, this form of tension and release was the basis of most Western Musical composition, which is still largely the norm today.

This course assumes a basic knowledge of music fundamentals.

No problem with all the superlatives about Archibald, but this was probably improperly copied from a copyrighted source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:55, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

All-Star appearances
The article states he appeared in six games in one place, but that he was elected to seven in another. isn't that contradictory? what's the story there. I checked and he did not appear in the 1974 All-Star game. Martin fed (talk) 15:37, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I fixed it. Zagalejo^^^ 18:01, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Regarding his Jersy number. Didn't he play with number 1 asw ell? I checked the french and spanish wikipedia projects and they state he also wore the number 1 (this article only acknowledges no. 10 he donned playing for the kings, and 7 of the celtic years. that might merit mentioning).
 * So did he play under jersery 1 (and where?) Martin fed (talk) 13:39, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Heywood Banks

Stuart Mitchell (born April 1, 1950), known professionally as Heywood Banks, is an American comedian, and writer and performer of humorous songs.

Career
In the 1970s and 1980s, Mitchell used to perform under his own name, doing comedy and playing guitar. His wife suggested he develop a few characters after they visited Los Angeles in 1987 and found many other comedians doing similar things as him. He ended up developing the character Heywood Banks and started performing as him in 1987.

In 1988, he won the Johnnie Walker Comedy Search national finals, which gave him a television appearance on A&E's An Evening at the Improv, aired on October 19, 1988. Later the same year, he won the Miller Lite Comedy Search regional finals held in Clinton Township, Michigan.

His songs include "Toast", "Fly's Eyes", "Wiper Blades", "Pancreas", "Big Butter Jesus" (a song about the King of Kings statue), "18 Wheels (on a Big Rig)", "The One Eye Love" & "The Cat Got Dead".

The story of his song "Toast" goes back to around 1986, when he was browsing at a Salvation Army store for props for his act. He bought an old toaster, thinking maybe he would make toast during his act. Later, his wife said she was looking forward to having toast the next morning, and he started improvising a song about toast while playing a bongo.

Heywood frequently appears on the nationally syndicated radio program The Bob and Tom Show. His most popular and widely known song is called "Toast", played on a toaster with a pair of forks. Another recurring song that B&T occasionally play is "Trauma to the Groin". Heywood's songs have also been played on the Dr. Demento Show.

In 1993, he starred in a pilot called The Heywood Banks Show, which was aired on WJBK. He played the manager of a trailer park's convenience store called the Toast Basket. He also played a resident at the trailer park named Hyphen (Dash) Ampersand. He performed his song "Toast" on the pilot. Comedy writer B. K. Taylor also appeared on the show.

Banks' "The Revenge Song" (also known as "You Can Be Mean to Me") was performed on American Idol on January 16, 2007, by an "urban Amish" singer called Troy.

Personal life
Banks is originally from Birmingham, Michigan. He attended Western Michigan University. He lives near Howell, Michigan.

Introduction to graph theory/Proof of Theorem 1

Statement
The sum of the degrees of the vertices of a graph $$G$$ is precisely twice the size of $$G$$.

Proof
Let $$S=\{(v,e):v\in V(G), e\in E(G), v$$ incident with $$e\}\!\,$$. We will count the number of elements of $$S$$ in two different ways, using the method of double counting.

The degree of a vertex is defined to be the number of edges incident with that vertex. Therefore vertex $$v$$ is the vertex-part of precisely $$d(v)$$ elements of $$S$$. Thus the number of elements of $$S$$ is the sum of the degrees of the vertices.

The other obvious way to count the number of elements of $$S$$ is in terms of the edges. Clearly each edge is incident with precisely two vertices. Therefore edge $$e$$ is the edge-part of precisely 2 elements of $$S$$. Thus the number of elements of $$S$$ is twice the number of edges.

Since a set has the same number of elements, regardless of how you count them (unless, of course, you miscount them), it follows that the sum of the degrees of the vertices is twice the number of edges.

Alternate Proof
In combinatorics, you can prove most results a number of different ways. Here is an alternate proof by induction on the number of edges $$m$$. If $$m=0$$, there are no edges and hence each degree is 0, so the total of the degrees is indeed twice the number of edges.

Now suppose that we have proved the theorem for all graphs with $$m-1$$ edges, and that graph $$G$$ has $$m$$ edges. Let $$uv$$ be an edge of $$G$$. Denote by $$G-uv$$ the graph identical to $$G$$ in all respects, save the omission of the edge $$uv$$. Then clearly $$G-uv$$ has $$m-1$$ edges, and so its degrees sum to $$2m-2$$. $$G$$ has identical degrees to $$G-uv$$, except for an increase by one at the vertices $$u$$ and $$v$$. Thus the sum of the degrees of $$G$$ is $$(2m-2)+2=2m$$, proving the theorem by induction.

Comments
The method of double counting is often used in Combinatorics, and is worth getting to know well.

Adria Locke Langley

Adria Locke Langley (1899 – August 14, 1983) was an American writer best known for her first novel, published in 1945, the best seller A Lion Is in the Streets based on the life of Huey Long. It was made into a film of the same name in 1953. She also was a fervent supporter of the repeal of Prohibition.

Biography
Locke was born in Iowa, 1899, as the youngest of three children. When she was young her family moved to Stanton, Nebraska and that is where she grew up. Her father William Locke, was president of the Omaha livestock market and a Quaker. He had certain ideas of what a woman should be. Because of this Adria's grandfather, Thomas Glendenning, took over in teaching her what would later be a great social consciousness.

Adria was sent to Fremont College, in Nebraska, where she spent two years earning a teaching certificate. She was too young to qualify as a teacher under Nebraska State laws so she entered into Northwestern University. She was suspended for a séance.

Locke married while still in her teen years and got a divorce in 1929. With only about US$230 in her pocket to support her and her eight-month-old daughter she began to travel through the south selling merchandise control systems to department stores. She took up the habit of visiting the town hall meetings wherever she happened to be and became active in the movement for prohibition reform.

Talk:Electric Circuit Analysis/Kirchhoff's Current Law

The illustration for the sum of currents entering a node actually shows two of the currents exiting the node. Probably pretty confusing to a new student... Robhingle 01:20, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Were you able to find a better image and update the page that would be great--a true demonstration of wiki spirit. --RobertLutz 17:05, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Many students find it easier to think of it in terms of "The current entering a node must equal the current leaving a node" at first. It may be prudent to point out that a positive current value is current entering the node, while a negative value is current leaving the node. Specifically using this notation can help with consistency, and to help students better understand the answers they get when first practicing problems.

Tunica molesta

A tunica molesta (Latin for "annoying shirt") was a tunic impregnated with pitch and other flammable substances such as naphtha or resin. This was put upon the victim while the neck of the victim was fixed to a stake with an iron collar. It was then ignited, burning the victim alive. Tunicae molestae were used for execution and torture in the Roman Empire.

It is also a form of a Shirt of Flame later used in death by burning as described in Foxe's Book of Martyrs.

Origins
The origins of the tunica molesta are not agreed upon by scholars. Ben Hubbard believes that Nero invented the tunica molesta. This is probably not the case, since the tunica appears in literature of the centuries before Nero's reign. The tunica molesta seems to have first appeared as an aspect of the gladiator games. The origins of the gladiator games is more obscure.

Roman tradition held that gladiator games were not of Roman origin. Julia Shear traces their origin to Greek festivals now known as the Panathenian games. These celebrations included 'dancers in arms' (Gr.:pyrrhichistai) who are often seen as the fore-runners of gladiators. Some Roman writers thought the gladiator games came from the Circus Maximus or the Circus Flaminus which had developed under the Etruscan kings from the sixth century BC. The circus games were state occasions, presided over by a magistrate, and financed by the state, while the gladiatorial shows were later and did not originate as state occasions.

It is most likely that the games began as a part of the "offerings" owed to important men at their deaths. The object was to broadcast their prestige and uplift the status of their family. These Roman spectacles were a public display of power. The importance of funerals as important occasions which heirs exploited for these reasons is well attested. It is within this context that Roman gladiatorial contests are first recorded.

In early societies, the violence of blood sports and the sacred are often linked together in sacred contexts such as funerals. In Rome, these spectacles, called munera, might have included plays and chariot races as well as combat sports.

Practices
The tunica molesta was commonly used to execute criminals; this was seen as holding special significance for arsonists. Capital punishments usually took place during the gladiator games in the Amphitheatre, at lunchtime, when all forms of public executions, including death by crematio, were carried out.

Execution by burning was often part of a dramatic performance of Graeco-Roman mythology. Dramas that contained conflict between good and evil were seen as morally uplifting, and public executions of convicted criminals were believed to doubly improve virtue by providing a real life deterrent. By the second half of the first century, evidence for executions as public spectacle is particularly strong. Afterwards, the charred corpse was dragged by a hook throughout the arena for spectators to see, although historian David Kyle writes that only the corpses of the hated and dangerous were treated this way.

Fire was a legal means of torture, abuse and execution in the empire. It was used to induce testimony from slaves, in the arena to provoke men and beasts who were reluctant to fight, and to confirm death.

It was certainly used to torture and kill Christians, and Nero did execute numbers of Christians in this manner; partly this was because early Christians preferred to be buried, like Jesus, rather than being burned. Tertullian wrote: "we are called 'faggot-fellows' and 'half-axle men' because we are tied to a half-axle post and faggots are piled around us, and we are burnt". Death was not swift; Kyle writes it was the torment of the 'slow-burn that was the norm.

One of the great satirists of Roman Empire was Decimus Junius Juvenalis, who tells Tigellinus Sophoneus, a supporter of Nero's who encouraged Nero's worst passions, that he would, himself, soon "shine in that torch like tunic".

Thomas Wiedemann has written that, "An epigram in the Book of Spectacles refers to someone 'in matutina arena' playing the role 'Mucius Scaevola', the Roman hero who proved his bravery in the presence of the Etruscan king Lars Porsena [circa 500 BC] by thrusting his right hand into the flame; this is said to have been an alternative to the tunica molesta." Famous charades that re-enacted this event were sometimes fatal.

Sibpur S.S.P.S Vidyalaya

Sibpur S.S.P.S Vidyalaya is a Bengali-medium, Government-sponsored, higher secondary school located in Howrah, affiliated under the WBBSE and the WBCHSE. Sibpur S.S.P.S Vidyalaya is the abbreviation of Sibpur Srimat Swami Projnanananda Saraswati Vidyalaya.

The school was named after famous revolutionist and monk Swami Projnanananda Saraswati and was established in the year of 1950 by Shri Yogesh Chandra Mukhopadhyay, one of the disciples of Swami Projnanananda. The school is situated in 78/8 College Road, Howrah near the landmark Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden

History
This institution was established in early post-independence era. In the year 1953 the school switched from its initial address at Haru Mistri lane, Howrah to its present address. The present school building was built in 1952. Shri Yogesh Chandra Mukhopadhyay (Bengali: শ্রী যোগেশচন্দ্র মুখোপাধ্যায়), the founder of the school also known as Dadu by the then students, contributed his personal land for the school building purpose. He was elected the first Secretary of the Managing Committee of the school. In 1954, the school was officially acknowledged by the Government.

In the beginning days, the institution provided education up to grade VI, which was extended up to grade X in 1955; the school introduced herself as a Secondary School. Higher Secondary section to 11th standard was included later in 1962 and in 1977 this institution received permission for conducting Higher Secondary Examination following a 10+2 curriculum. The school's first Higher Secondary Examination held in 1979.

Campus
There is a rectangular playground at the centre of the school. North and west side of the playground is adjacent to two three-storied buildings lying perpendicular to each other. One is the main building, constructed in 1952 and the other building was built in the 1990s. At the south end of the ground there is a school auditorium named ‘Surendra Mancha’, which was built in 1981. There is also a primary section of this school named Bharadwaj Shikshasram (Bengali: ভরদ্বাজ শিক্ষাশ্রম).

Students
Sibpur S.S.P.S. Vidyalaya has around 1200 students in attendance. Each class is separated between two or three sections i.e. A, B and C and each of which contain around average 50 students. Class XI and XII are divided into three 'streams' known as Science, Arts (Humanities) and Commerce.

Uniform
There is an assortment of school uniforms, for different classes. The uniform is not different from the Secondary or Higher Secondary sections. In the former years the school uniform included White (e.g. ) pants, which was changed to black (e.g.  ) in later years.

White shirts with the school emblem on the pocket, black pants and a black school shoe. A navy blue sweater is additional for winter. From class VII to XII black full-pants is compulsory.

Emblem
The logo or emblem of the institution is knitted in a square piece of cloth and includes the school name, year of establishment and the motto: 'শ্রদ্ধাবান্ লভতে জ্ঞানম' ; this Sanskrit phrase denotes that the most credited or honoured person attains the knowledge. There are four color schemes in the emblem of the institution. Each of them depicts a house from the following four houses. The houses and their respective colors are:

This color sequence recycles after every fourth roll number. The Vidyasagar House was previously named Jogiraj House, after Sri Shyamacharan Lahiri.

School anthem
School begins with the prayer song Jana Gana Mana, preceded by the recitation of a short Sanskrit shloka. The shloka is the No. 9 principle of 'Taittirīya' (Bengali: তৈত্তিরীয়) Upanishads. Through this mantra it is prayed that:

 * "The Brahma would protect both the Acharya or teacher and disciples. Let us enjoy both equally fruit of wisdom; both of us can afford to be competent for acquiring knowledge. Let our study be effective, let our received erudition be successful. We do not let hatred for one another. Our spiritual, psychic and elemental - the three Peace let be satisfied."

Original Shloka
ॐ সহনাববতু সহ নৌ ভুনক্তু সহ বীর্যং করবাবহৈ ...       তেজস্বিনাবধীতমস্তু মা বিদ্বিষাবহৈ ...           ॐ শান্তিঃ শান্তিঃ শান্তিঃ ...

Translation
Om sahanababatu saha nou bhunaktu sahabirjang karababahai ...           Tejaswinabadhitamastu ma bidbishabahai ...                   Om Shanti Shanti Shanti ...

Talk:Princess (chess)

A better Title for this article?
I have found that most variant chess games using a B+N compound call it the archbishop or cardinal. After some searching, I could only find one variant chess game (introduced in 1978 and now seems to be obscure) where it was called princess. I would prefer to see this article titled "Archbishop" based on modern usage. But I'll leave it for now based on scholarly argument that Princess may be used by chess game problemists. I did update the opening paragraph to explain the discrepancy between common usage and this article's title. (This same topic came up for the article "Empress", with more common names "chancellor" and "marshall" suggested as the title. See discussion there).LithiumFlash (talk) 17:06, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Katharine Parsons

Katharine, Lady Parsons ( Bethell; 1859 – 16 October 1933) was the co-founder and second President of the Women's Engineering Society (WES), and an engineer in her own right.

Partnership with Charles Parsons
Born to William Frogatt Bethell at Rise Park in the East Riding of Yorkshire in 1859, Katharine met the Hon. Charles Parsons in Leeds in 1882 while he was working there as an engineer. They married in January 1883 and had two children, Algernon George and Rachel Mary. In their early married days Katharine would regularly accompany Charles on 7 am morning lakes trials of his prototype torpedoes at Roundhay Park in Leeds.

Throughout nearly a half-century of marriage, she was almost always to be found working closely with him on engineering projects – both at home and in the commercial engineering works – especially during the period in which the Parsons steam turbine was developed.

The First World War
Famed for her robust character and exceptional organisational skills, during the First World War Lady Parsons was closely involved in managing the female workforces in Tyneside converted armaments factories. It was for this war work that Lady Parsons was made the first Honorary Fellow of the North-East Coast Institution of Engineers and Ship-builders in 1919.

Having seen the highly effective deployment of women in engineering work during the Great War, Lady Parsons was robustly critical of the removal of many women from such work under the terms of the Restoration of Pre-War Practices Act 1919 that restored many returning male combatants to their pre-war responsibilities.

In a widely publicised speech on July 9, 1919: 'Women's Work and Shipbuilding during the War' she deplored the way that women had been required to produce the 'implements of war and destruction' but then be denied 'the privilege of fashioning the munitions of peace.'

The Women's Engineering Society
Just three weeks earlier she had launched the Women's Engineering Society (WES) in collaboration with her daughter Rachel, and five other women of influence, Eleanor Shelley-Rolls; Janetta Mary Ornsby; Margaret D Rowbotham; Margaret, Lady Moir & Laura Annie Willson in order to protect women's position in the field, and enable them to communicate, and especially to share opportunities for training and employment.

It was Lady Parsons who appointed Caroline Haslett to be first Secretary of WES in February 1919. Frequent financial challenges arising from the difficulties of prompted Lady Parsons to make substantial donations to keep the fledgling Society afloat.

Lady Parsons was also a co-founder of Atalanta Ltd, a company set up specifically to supply employment for women in engineering work. Following a period as President by Rachel Parsons, Lady Parsons was President of WES from 1922 to 1925. Her annual speeches during that WES presidency were described by a contemporary as 'masterly in their range and thorough in details'. In that latter year, however, she broke off relations with WES after a disagreement with Caroline Haslett over the future direction of the Society.

Later years
Lady Parsons served as a magistrate from 1921, and for her public achievements was admitted to the freedom of the Worshipful Company of Shipwrights and later given the freedom of the City of London. Nevertheless, she also found much time to pursue her pastimes of riding horses, long-distance driving and entertaining guests at the family home of Ray Demesthene at Kirkwhelpington.

After Charles Parsons's passing in 1931, Lady Parsons was a major source for Rollo Appleyard's biography of her late husband. She died in 1933 after a long battle with cancer.

Legacy
The Women's Engineering Society, which Katherine co-founded in July 1919, has fostered women's careers in engineering, science and technology ever since.

The invention of the steam turbine, which is still in use today, led to electricity being generated on a large-scale at low cost.

Billingsdal

Billingsdal or Billingsdalen is a river valley in the municipality of Skjåk in Innlandet county, Norway. The valley is the inner part of the larger Ottadalen valley which is the valley through which the river Otta flows. It is considered a lateral valley that runs off of the main Gudbrandsdalen valley which dominates this part of Norway.

For many centuries this valley was used as a transportation route. People would head west from the village of Lom and go up through the Billingsdalen valley, through the Strynefjellet mountains, and then down to Nordfjord and Sunnmøre on the west coast of Norway. The village of Grotli lies at a junction of two of these old roads. The Old Strynefjell road is now County road 258 (Fv258) and it heads southwest from Grotli over the Strynefjell mountains. Another old road heads northwest from Grotli and leads over other mountains to Geiranger. Today, a new Norwegian National Road 15 (Riksvei 15) takes another path through the mountains from Stryn and heads eastward through the Billingsdalen valley.

Puzzles/Decision puzzles/Yet Another Weighing/Solution

Puzzles|Decision puzzles|Yet Another Weighing|Solution

One way to solve this would be to try to manually work out all the possible combinations and their sums. That would take a while.

Instead, notice that each item is half the weight of the previous item. Lets assume you have less items and work out the general rule for any number of items, where each is twice as much as the next item:

Items Weights            Number of Combinations 1     5                   1: 5 2      5, 10               3: 5, 10, 15 3      5, 10, 20           7: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 4      5, 10, 20, 40      15: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75 5      5, 10, 20, 40, 80

Without even listing them, we can see the pattern. The numbers 1, 3, 7, 15 follow the formula of 2n - 1, where n=1, 2, 3, 4 i.e. the number of items.

For 5 items, n=5, 25 - 1 = 31.

The pattern would continue for more items: 6 - 63 7 - 127 8 - 255 ...
