Robotics

Robotics brings together several very different engineering areas and skills. There is metalworking for the body. There is mechanics for mounting the wheels on the axles, connecting them to the motors and keeping the body in balance. You need electronics to power the motors and connect the sensors to the controllers. At last you need the software to understand the sensors and drive the robot around.

This book tries to cover all the key areas of robotics as a hobby. When possible examples from industrial robots will be addressed too.

You'll notice very few "exact" values in these texts. Instead, vague terms like "small", "heavy" and "light" will be used. This is because most of the time you'll have a lot of freedom in picking these values, and all robot projects are unique in available materials.

The Voynich Manuscript/F8r

Transcription, comments, theories, links to do with VMs page f8r to be added here... :-)

Description:
One plant with a single, big, odd-shaped leaf and a "collar" around its stem, horizontally centered and spanning the page vertically from edge to edge.

Three paragraphs (with 6.5, 3.6, 6.6 lines), left- and right-justified and interrupted by the plant's stem, fill up the bottom 3/4 of the page. Each paragraph is followed by a right-justified two-word title.

Comments:
The plant is very strange, both for the leaf shape and for the "collar" around the stem. Perhaps it is a mushroom (e.g. Amanita), which the artist mistook for a plant and tried to draw as such?

The text format too is quite unusual, both in its length and in the presence of titles.

Beginning Mathematics/Introduction to Abstraction

Mathematics takes concrete things, and turns them into abstractions which help to generalize ideas. Take a simple example with numbers. Is quantity the property of a thing? We can have two cars or two shoes, but there are still two. We can also have one car or two cars, but we are still talking about a "car".

Think about it for a minute. Can you define the idea of number? There is no tangible thing as one. There is "one dollar", but there is not a one. There is a symbol for one, but again no tangible "one".

If you attempted to define numbers you probably came up with definitions that just start out listing 1,2,3,etc. or you can also look and see that one plus one is two. There is something inherent in this property.

This seemingly imperceptible condition of abstraction is the defining quality of mathematics. In geometry we consider enclosed shapes with three sides on them, and call them triangles. You may see a triangle, but you will never see the tangible idea of triangle. You merely see a representation of it.

Yet, you can discover such facts like a rectangle can be divided into two triangles. This is true regardless of the rectangle you choose, and you can reason this without actually seeing every rectangle, which would be impossible.

Mathematics is able to generalize various things into abstract ideas, upon which generalized statements can be made for classes of objects without considering each one individually. Triangles have certain properties. Two of anything has certain properties. These are all related in the abstract.

In understanding abstractions, mathematics begins to classify ways in which abstract objects are alike, and ways they are different. Some things are numbers, and others are shapes.

Mathematics deals with this problem by defining different types of equivalences. For any two things it covers, an equivalence class says they are either the same or different in a certain way. In ordinary arithmetic this might be expressed by something like $$3+3=6$$ which says that under the equal equivalence class 3+3 is the same as 6.

Talk:Dick Wilson

Today, another has passed.
this admittedly feels unseemly, but adding 'Today, another has passed.' to the line 'On his 80th birthday, when asked about his experience in the War, Wilson refused to speak of it, saying, "I lost too many good wing men."' seems not in the spirit of wikipedia? this in no way is meant to diminish a truly impressive & appreciated fact about him--Snideology (talk) 03:32, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

WW II service
The previous version (and other sites) erroneously state that Wilson flew fighters in the Battle of Britain. That is demonstrably false. His name does not appear on the RAF roster in Francis K. Mason's encyclopedic "Battle Over Britain," and the only Canadian named Wilson was killed in the battle. Apparently Wilson served as an bomber pilot, as noted here:

http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/1999/aug/31/hendersons-dick-wilsonmr-whipple-to-youis-/

And here:

http://www.sagactoronline.com/2010/07/dick-wilson-and-mr-whipplehelped-build.html DEAD LINK

Another source, which I cannot find, said he was a Pathfinder Force commander, which if anything was far riskier than flying fighters in 1940.

Geoffrey Hawkins

Admiral Sir Geoffrey Alan Brooke Hawkins KBE CB MVO DSC (13 July 1895 – 5 October 1980) was a Royal Navy officer who became Flag Officer, Malta.

Naval career
Hawkins was promoted to midshipman on 15 January 1913 and served in the First World War. He also served in the Second World War becoming commanding officer of the armed merchant cruiser HMS Queen of Bermuda in December 1939, Chief Staff Officer, Gibraltar in June 1941 and commanding officer of the cruiser HMS Kent in July 1943. He went on to be Commodore, Royal Naval Barracks, Portsmouth in May 1945, Vice-Controller of the Navy in June 1947 and Flag Officer, Malta in July 1950.

Marriage and family
He married Lady Margaret Ida Montagu Douglas Scott on 16 February 1926. Lady Margaret (known as Mida among family) was the eldest daughter of the 7th Duke of Buccleuch. Her younger sister was Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester. She was a lady-in-waiting to Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, at the time of her marriage, and as the Earl and Countess of Athlone were living in Cape Town, the Earl being Governor General of South Africa, the marriage between Lady Margaret and Commander Hawkins took place in a newly built cathedral in Cape Town. The bride's maternal uncle, Colonel Harry Bridgeman, gave her away and young Lady Alice (future Duchess of Gloucester) attended the wedding and was a guest of the newlyweds for a while.

The marriage produced three children:
 * (Alice) Anne Hawkins (31 March 1928 – 28 October 2016); she married Commander Michael Edward St. Quintin Wall (25 August 1926 – 5 October 2017) on 27 June 1975.
 * Renira Margaret Ida Hawkins (born 29 September 1930); she married Alistair Allan Horne (9 November 1925 – 25 May 2017) on 28 November 1953 (their marriage was dissolved), and had three daughters.
 * James Walter Hawkins (16 March 1933 - 4 January 2021); never married.

Talk:Abstract algebra

I've just fleshed out the chapter on ideals, hopefully this isn't too controversial. I agree with earlier comments that the structure is lacking - e.g. no connections between modules and vector spaces. There's also the question of who this is aimed at - advanced high school, undergraduate, graduate / reference and whether accomodating these is easier if using a wiki rather than just a book. The other question is also to what depth one wants to study each subject - too much group theory might be annoying to someone only interested in commutative algebra. Presenting everything in the utmost generality for the sake of non-commutative algebra would obscure the simple case, but not enough would naturally annoy the non-commutative algebraist. The first example isn't too problematic - the reader can simply omit the complicated group theory, and having a massive wikibook doesnt have the same problems as having a massive dead-tree book - but the second is a bit harder because it influences the presentation in an essential way. A similar question might be whether to use category theory, or add in a geometric perspective (ala Atiyah-McDonald and Eisenbud), again these might affect the presentation quite fundamentally. My answers to these questions are probably quite biased - would be good to hear other perspectives --Drufino 22:59, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

This Abstract algebra book seems to be more like a collection of related topics rather than a planned literature. It assumes too much prior knowledge and all the modules are still quite immature. I'd like see a little more structure to it, maybe it should have been called a first course in Abstract algebra and it should assume knowledge of basic linear algebra? Xiaodai 00:56, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Of course the modules are still immature, nearly everything here needs work (not just in this section)
 * Some sections do assume some prior knowledge, and some do not. The section on Groups for example should be able to be picked up with just a relatively small amount of prior mathematical knowledge. Some of the stuff is quite "disgusting" and needs a lot of work.
 * The linear algebra stuff needs merely to be bumped up the top, as it shouldn't be too difficult to understand.
 * Why do you want it to be called "a first course in abstract algebra"? Dysprosia 02:05, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * It's very hard trying to cover everything in Abstract algebra all at once, we might want to break the book into smaller books. It's very dangerous calling the book just Abstract Algebra, it's better to do the elementary stuff in a "first course" book then more advaced stuff in a "second course" book and so. Xiaodai 08:01, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hello I'm new to Wikibooks (Been on wikipedia for a while). I have a few humble sugestions:
 * Much of this material needs to be made more accesible. This sort of text ought to develop the ideas more gradually, with more examples and more explanation.
 * Category theory really should not be in here. It is way too advanced really and might put people off.
 * We should have some sort of dependencies table or at least each chapter should say what knowledge it presumes.
 * We should have exercises at the end of each chapter and some sort of answers section (preferably it should have a slowdown built in to encourage people to work things out for themselves).
 * We should include a section on naive set theory together with a cautionary exhibition of Russels paradox.

I'm thinking of starting a wikibook on Galois theory and maybe one on Set theory so I may be around some more. Barnaby dawson 21:26, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * 1) Barnaby, the books still need a lot of work. I just said that above. They will get better with time and effort.
 * 2) It should be included in a book on abstract algebra. The stuff isn't that hard. If we stratify the abstract algebra outline more, it will have a place
 * Ok
 * 1) see 1.
 * 2) see Discrete mathematics/Set theory, though it should be here too since it overlaps, I think I need to go rip out the DM book a bit more.

Cool, a section on Galois theory would be very welcome. When I get a chance to, I'll go and radically restructure everything, or something. Dysprosia 22:16, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

--- Outline of Basic Ring Theory?

In the ring theory section, one thing that would help unify the concepts that are being presented would be to spend some time developing the concept of the Division Algorithm, GCDs, and the Euclidean algorithm. It appears that this is begun under the "Modular Arithmetic" module of the discrete math book. However, the strong connection between relative primality/irreducibility and existence of multiplicative inverses is not really described.

Having done this, it becomes possible to generalize the Division Algorithm to polynomials of a single variable. This allows for the Euclidean algorithm to be carried over and we can develop the idea of quotient rings. (And of F[x] as a field.) This leads naturally into the development of ideals.

Finally, coverage of ring homomorphisms and the Isomorphism Theorems needs to be introduced. This would be a good start on getting to more advanced topics like modules, lattices, and eventually, polynomials in multiple variables.

All in good time, I know, but it might be wise to spend a moment thinking about what the overall organization of ring theory is like. I personally see the initial definitions of rings, fields, and integral domains as being the "easy" part and the development of the Division Algorithm, GCDs, the Euclidean Algorithm, followed by polynomial rings, ideals and quotient rings, and ring homomorphisms as the "meat" of basic ring theory.

Thoughts? --Ashsong 06:44, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Well, be bold, and add the stuff! That's what the wiki's all about. Though, I've removed the division algorithm, etc., from having their own modules (they can and should be dealt with in their respective modules when necessary) and cleaned up the structure a bit. Dysprosia 07:37, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Do you have any favorite wikibooks that I ought to look at in order to get a better idea of the style that you'd like to see? --Ashsong 15:27, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Proposed name change
I'd like to change all the subpages of this book so that they begin with "Abstract Algebra/" rather than "Abstract Algebra:" to make them consistent with the new naming convention. I trust this will be non-controversial, but note it here to allow for comments before the move, Jguk 07:01, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

hey can some1 tell me what "Ris are predicate symbols of some arity and ν is an interpretation of these symbols on the set." means?Vandal 0nly account 07:52, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Number theory is not prerequisite
Requiring that one knows number theory before beginning is a little silly to me. Algebra is far more fundamental to everything, while number theory is a bunch of cool results that aren't useful, many times.

Proposed merger with group theory
I am currently in the process (which may take some years) of totally rewriting the wikibooks, and this encompasses that I distribute the material into the books where they are in the right place. Therefore, I would like to advise against the merger. This wikibook may in the process be renamed "introduction to abstract algebra", because abstract algebra is much larger than this wikibook and contains, for instance, "commutative algebra", geometric group theory, galois theory and the like. Hence, this wikibook is, in my view, improperly named and ought to be split up so that interested students find the material in the place they look first. --Mathmensch (discuss • contribs) 22:22, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

List of International Days of Yoga

This list records each International Day of Yoga from the day's inception in 2015.

2015

The first International Day of Yoga was observed around the world on June 21, 2015. The pivotal event was held at Rajpath in New Delhi, India, where a large number of people, including PM Narendra Modi and dignitaries from many nations, performed 21 asanas (yoga postures) for 35 minutes. The Delhi event established two Guinness world records, one for the largest yoga class, of 35,985 people, and other for the largest number of participating nationalities (84 nations). The Ministry of AYUSH made the necessary arrangements in India.

Apart from India, the event was celebrated across the world including New York, Paris, Beijing, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, San Francisco, Seoul, and Seychelles. In San Francisco, 5,000 participants gathered in the Marina Green park to do yoga. Another record was created by India's NCC cadets, who entered the Limca Book of Records for the "largest yoga performance simultaneously by a single uniformed youth organization" at multiple venues.

2016
A senior government official said, "The government of India has decided to take forward the momentum created by the International Day of Yoga, 2015 with more and more active participation of youth during the current year's celebrations." The ministry organized an event titled "The National Event of Mass Yoga Demonstration" at Chandigarh, which was attended by the Indian Prime Minister.

India's Permanent Mission to the UN organized celebrations at the United Nations on June 20 and 21 2016. A special event titled "Conversation with Yoga Masters – Yoga for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals" was the centerpiece. Sadhguru (Jaggi Vasudev) was the main speaker at the event.

Baba Ramdev also held a massive yoga camp in June 2016 to mark International Yoga Day, and Union Minister Arun Jaitley hailed the Yoga guru for reviving the ancient Indian practice saying that “Baba Ramdev has immensely contributed in reviving yoga and has made people aware about its positive effects”

2017

In Lucknow, the Indian prime minister Narendra Modi participated in the event and practiced yoga along with 51,000 participants. Many business leaders in India also took part in the event.

Scutosaurus

Scutosaurus ("shield lizard") is an extinct genus of pareiasaur parareptiles. Its genus name refers to large plates of armor scattered across its body. It was a large anapsid reptile that, unlike most reptiles, held its legs underneath its body to support its great weight. Fossils have been found in the Sokolki Assemblage Zone of the Malokinelskaya Formation in European Russia, close to the Ural Mountains, dating to the late Permian (Lopingian) between 264 and 252 million years ago.

Research history
The first fossils were uncovered by Russian paleontologist Vladimir Prokhorovich Amalitskii while documenting plant and animal species in the Upper Permian sediments in the Northern Dvina River, Arkhangelsk District, Northern European Russia. Amalitskii had discovered the site in 1899, and he and his wife Anne Amalitskii continued to oversee excavation until 1914, recovering numerous nearly complete and articulated (in their natural position) skeletons belonging to a menagerie of different animals. Official diagnoses of these specimens was delayed due to World War I. The first published name of what is now called Scutosaurus karpinskii was in 1917 by British zoologist David Meredith Seares Watson, who captioned a reconstruction of its scapulocoracoid based on the poorly preserved specimen PIN 2005/1535 "Pariasaurus Karpinskyi, Amalitz" (giving credit to Amalitskii for the name). Amalitskii died later that year, and the actual diagnosis of the animal was posthumously published in 1922, with the name "Pareiosaurus" karpinskii, and the holotype specimen designated as the nearly complete skeleton PIN 2005/1532. Three partial skulls were also found, but Amalitskii decided to split these off into new species as "P. elegans", "P. tuberculatus", and "P. horridus".

"Pariasaurus" and "Pareiosaurus" were both misspellings of the South African Pareiasaurus. In 1930, Soviet vertebrate paleontologist Aleksandra Paulinovna Anna Hartmann-Weinberg said that the pareiasaur material from North Dvina represents only 1 species, and that this species was distinct enough from other Pareiasaurus to justify placing it in a new genus. Though Amalitskii had used a unique genus name "Pareiosaurus", this was an accident, and she declared "Pareiosaurus" to be a junior synonym of Pareiasaurus, and erected the genus Scutosaurus. She used the spelling "karpinskyi" for the species name, but switched to karpinskii in 1937. At the same time, she also split off another unique genus "Proelginia permiana" based on the partial skull PIN 156/2. In 1968, Russian paleontologist N. N. Kalandadze and colleagues considered "Proelginia" to be synonymous with Scutosaurus. Because the remains are not well preserved, the validity of "Proelginia" is unclear. In 1987, Russian paleontologist Mikhail Feodosʹevich Ivakhnenko erected a new species "S. itilensis" based on skull fragments PIN 3919, and resurrected "S. tuberculatus", but Australian biologist Michael S. Y. Lee considered both of these actions unjustified in 2000. In 2001, Lee petitioned the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature to formally override the spelling karpinskyi (because Watson clearly did not intend his work to be a formal description of the species, and karpinskii was much more popularly used) and list the author citation as Amalitskii, 1922.

Scutosaurus is a common fossil at the North Dvina site, and is known from 6 at least fairly complete skeletons, as well as numerous various isolated body and skull remains, and scutes (osteoderms). It is the most completely known pareiasaur. All Scutosaurus specimens date to the Upper Tatarian (Vyatskian) Russian faunal stage, which may roughly correspond with the Lopingian epoch of the Upper Permian (259–252 million years ago). In 1996, Russian paleontologist Valeriy K. Golubev described the faunal zones of the site, and listed the Scutosaurus zone as extending from roughly the middle Wuchiapingian to the middle Changhsingian, which followed the "Proelginia" stage beginning in the early Wuchiapingian.

Anatomy
Pareiasaurs were among the largest reptiles during the Permian. Scutosaurus is a rather large pareiasaur, measuring about 2.5–3 m in length and weighing up to 1160 kg. The entire body would have been covered in rough osteoderms, which feature a central boss with a spine. These osteoderms appear to have been largely separate from each other, but may have been closely sutured together over the shoulder and pelvis as in Elginia. The limbs bore small conical studs. Pareiasaurs feature a short stout body, and a short tail. Scutosaurus has 19 presacral vertebrae. Pareiasaurs, as well as many other common herbivorous Permian tetrapods, had a large body, barrel-shaped ribcage, and engorged limbs and pectoral and pelvic girdles. The pareiasaur shoulder blade is large, plate-like, slightly expanded towards the arm, and vertically oriented. The acromion (which connects to the large clavicle) is short and blunt, like those of early turtles, and is placed at the bottom of the shoulder blade. In articulated specimens (where the positions of the jointed bones has been preserved), there is a small gap between the clavicle and the shoulder blade. Early pareiasaurs have a cleithrum which runs along the shoulder blade, but later ones including Scutosaurus lost this. The digits on the hands and feet are short. The dorsal vertebrae are short, tall, and robust, and supported large and strongly curved ribs. The broad torso may have conferred an expansive digestive system.

The cheeks strongly flare out and terminate with long pointed bosses. The bosses of the skull are generally much more prominent than those of other pareiasaurs. The maxilla features a horn just behind the nostrils. The two holes on the back of the palate (the interpterygoid vacuities) are large. All pareiasaurs have broad snouts containing a row of closely packed, tall, blade-like, and heterodont teeth with varying numbers of cusps depending on the tooth and species. Scutosaurus has 18 teeth in the upper jaw (which feature anywhere from 9–11 cusps), and 16 in the lower (13–17 cusps). The tips of the upper teeth jut outward somewhat. The tongue side of the lower teeth bear a triangular ridge, and some random teeth in either jaw can have a cusped cingulum. Unlike other pareiasaurs, Scutosaurus has a small tubercle (a bony projection) on the base of the skull between the basal tubera.

Palaeobiology
Scutosaurus was a massively built reptile, with bony armor, and a number of spikes decorating its skull. Despite its relatively small size, Scutosaurus was heavy, and its short legs meant that it could not move at speed for long periods of time, which made it vulnerable to attack by large predators. To defend itself Scutosaurus had a thick skeleton covered with powerful muscles, especially in the neck region. Underneath the skin were rows of hard, bony plates (scutes) that acted like a form of brigandine armor.

Pareiasaurs had long been thought to be terrestrial, but it is difficult to assess their range of locomotion given the lack of modern anatomical analogues. In 1987, Ivakhnenko hypothesised that they were aquatic or amphibious due to the deep and low-lying pectoral girdle, short but engorged limbs, and thick cartilage on the limb joints, which are reminiscent of the aquatic dugong. Subsequent studies—including stable isotope analyses and footprint analyses—on various African and Eurasian remains have all reported results consistent with terrestrial behavior. Caseids have a broadly similar build to pareiasaurs, and possibly exhibited the same locomotory habits. Both have thin, porous long bones which is consistent with modern diving creatures, but the overall heavy torso would impede such a behavior. Nonetheless, similarly graviportal creatures have much thicker long bones. In 2016, zoologist Markus Lambertz and colleagues, based on the thin bones and short neck unsuited for reaching low-lying plants, suggested that caseids were predominantly aquatic and only came ashore during brief intervals. Overall, anatomical evidence seems to be at direct odds with isotopic evidence; it is possible that bone anatomy was more related to the animal's weight than its lifestyle.

Like other pareiasaurs, Scutosaurus have been shown to have had a fast initial growth rate, with cyclical growth intervals. Following this possibly relatively short juvenile period, an individual would have reached 75% of its full size, and continued growing at a slower rate for several years more. This switch from fast to slow growth potentially signaled the onset of sexual maturity.

Paleoecology
Scutosaurus comes from the Salarevskaya Formation, which has a uniformly red coloration and comprises paleosol horizons, which deposit in cyclically shallow-water and dry area. The paleosol horizons are highly variable in shape and size throughout the formation, which may mean they came from different sources (polygenic). Paleosols gradually disappear in the upper part of the formation where the thickness of beds becomes much more discontinuous as well as irregular (from some millimeters to several meters), and the appearance of blue spots which may represent the accumulation of reduced iron oxides. These beds are capped off by a carbonate shell, varying from a small knot to up to a meter (3.3 ft) thick. The paleosols and shells feature holes left behind by plant roots, but these are absent in the clay-siltstone breccias and sand lenses. The formation has typically been explained as the result of several catastrophic floods washing over arid to semi-arid plains during wet seasons, featuring several temporarily filled channels and permanently dry lakes.

Scutosaurus was a member of the pareiasaurian–gorgonopsian fauna dating to the Upper Tatarian, dominated by pareiasaurs, anomodonts, gorgonopsians, therocephalians, and cynodonts. Unlike earlier beds, dinocephalians are completely absent. Scutosaurus is identified in the Sokolki fauna, which features predominantly the former 3 groups. The only herbivore other than Scutosaurus is Vivaxosaurus. Carnivores are instead much more common, the largest identified being Inostrancevia (I. latifrons and I. alexandri); the other gorgonopsians are Pravoslavlevia and Sauroctonus progressus. Other carnivores include the therocephalian Annatherapsidus petri and the cynodont Dvinia; chroniosuchid and seymouriamorph amphibians have also been identified, including Karpinskiosaurus, Kotlassia, and Dvinosaurus. As for plants, the area has yielded various mosses, lepidophytes, ferns, and peltaspermaceaens.

Bonding and chemical structure

Chemical Bonding
The force that holds two or more atoms together is called a chemical bond. The process by which bonds are formed is called chemical bonding. When a bond is formed, a chemical reaction takes place. The result of a reaction is the formation of two or more substances.

Valence electrons
Chemical bonds are formed by sharing or transferring electrons. In general, most main group elements react in order to achieve a full valence shell. Elements in Group 18 (sometimes referred to as the noble gases) will usually not react, since their valence shell is already full.
 * The highest principal shell of an atom, in which there is at least one electron, is called the valence shell.
 * The electrons on the valence shell are called valence electrons.
 * Main group elements can hold a maximum of eight electrons in their valence shell. A full valence shell is known as an "octet".

Ionic bonding
Ionic (or electrovalent) bonding is the process by which electrons can transfer between valence shells of atoms. Since electrons are negatively charged, the loss or gain of an electron leads to charged atoms, called "ions".
 * A cation is a positively charged ion. It is formed when an atom of neutral charge loses one or more electrons.
 * An anion is a negatively charged ion. It is formed when an atom of neutral charge gains one or more electrons.
 * The amount of energy that is needed to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral atom in the gas phase is called the First Ionization Energy. The amount of energy needed to remove the second electron is called the Second Ionization Energy.  The amount of energy needed to remove the third electron is called the Third Ionization Energy.

Covalent bonding
One rule for predicting when an ionic bond will take place is when the difference between electronegativities is 1.7 or greater. In other cases, atoms bond by sharing electrons on the valence shells. The force that holds two atoms together in this case is called a covalent bond. A covalent bond can be described as the mutual attraction that positive nuclei have for the shared, negatively charged bonding electrons. The process, by which electrons are sharing is called covalent bonding.  The group of atoms held together by covalent bonds is called a molecule.
 * The substances that are held by covalent bonds are molecular substances.
 * Substances that are held by ionic bonds are ionic substances.

Diatomic molecules

 * Molecules that consist of two atoms shared covalently, such us Cl2, H2 (1e), F2, O2, N2, etc.
 * Covalent bonding may be presented in three ways:
 * 1. Nonpolar. The difference between electronegativities equal 0.
 * 2. Polar. The difference between electronegativities not equal 0.
 * 3. Coordinate. When a lone pair of electrons is shared.

Ionic substances

 * 1. Have a high melting point.
 * 2. Good conductors of heat and electricity when melted or dissolved.
 * 3. Ionic substances readily dissolve in water to form neutral solutions.

Molecular substances
Examples: H2O, NH3,  C6H12O6.
 * 1. They are soft.
 * 2. They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
 * 3. They have a low melting point.

Network solids
Examples: diamond, graphite, SiC, SiO2. (They have 4 valence electrons). i
 * 1. They are hard.
 * 2. Poor conductors of heat and electricity.
 * 3. Good insulators.
 * 4. Very high melting point.

O Human Star

O Human Star is a science fiction family drama webcomic by Blue Delliquanti. The title is a reference to a passage in R.U.R., the origin for the word "robot".

Synopsis
O Human Star follows Alastair "Al" Sterling, the person who invented the modern robot. Sixteen years after Al dies, his mind is put into a synthetic replica of his human body. The world now is populated with robots living alongside humans. Al finds his old business partner and lover, Brendan, who has built their company into the world's largest tech company, and meets Sulla, the first humanoid robot, who was made with a copy of Al's mind but has chosen a female body. Al tries to reintegrate into the new world and determine who brought him back and why.

The comic is presented with sections both in the present and the past; the past is illustrated in orange and green, while the present is in blue.

Author and publication history
O Human Star is written and illustrated by Blue Delliquanti. Delliquanti, who is non-binary and is from Minneapolis, previously worked with Soleil Ho on the graphic novel Meal for Iron Circus Comics, and has contributed to Smut Peddler, The Sleep of Reason, and Beyond.

O Human Star began publication in 2012 and concluded in August 2020.

Themes
While the novel does engage with queer and trans issues, robots are not used in a metaphorical way to broach the subjects but rather are incorporated into them. It also deals with the implications of robots and artificial intelligence on our social and economic structures as well as on our concept of personhood, immortality, and identity.

Critical response
Polygon reviewer Samantha Riedel called O Human Star "the best robot comic in a decade", saying that it "delves into complex themes of gender and the need to belong" and calling it "one of the most sociopolitically relevant works of the past ten years". Riedel expanded on the praise, calling it "one of the most unique and imaginative comics of the decade" and an "intimate story" that "[imbues its] characters with life and vigor".

Writing for the DiNKY Awards, DiNKY director Ted Intorcio said "In addition to being a wonderful love story for these men, it challenges the reader’s perceptions of what “normal” looks like... OHS explores LGBTQ issues in a very sensitive way without having this context / subtext overpower the story... Blue's Manga-influenced style is more than competent and complements the tone of the story nicely. I can't recommend this book enough for anyone who likes great stories with rich context and tons of applicability."

Emma Lawson of ComicsAlliance commended the relationships in the comic, particularly Al and Brendan's "gorgeous slow burn" and recommended it to "anyone that dreams of the future".

Ice in the Sunshine

"Ice in the Sunshine" is a song by German pop group Beagle Music Ltd. Initially composed and recorded as a jingle for a 1985 Langnese ice-cream cinema commercial, it gained massive popularity after its screenings and was subsequently released as a single in Germany in 1986, reaching the top ten. Lead vocals of the original jingle were done by Ian Cussick. The recordings for the single release feature a different singer.

In the 2000s, the song was revitalized when America singer Anastacia re-recorded the track for another Langnese commercial. It has since been covered by several artists for promotion, including No Angels, DJ Tomekk, Shaggy and The Bosshoss.

Early life and career
Fyshe was born in Montreal, Quebec in 1947, and attended Trinity College School in Port Hope, Ontario. He gained his first experience in advertising when he worked as a Production Manager at Montreal luxury department store, Ogilvy’s. After senior positions at Toronto advertising agencies, MacLaren McCann, Vickers & Benson and Young & Rubicam, he joined BBDO Canada in 1990 as Executive Vice President leading the Chrysler account. In 1996 he became President and COO of the agency's successful retail division, BBDO Retail, which served clients such as Dairy Queen, Talbots, TSN and Molson. When he stepped down in 2001, Fyshe had been serving as President and CEO of BBDO Canada since 1997.

Fyshe is well known for his work with two of his major clients, automotive giants Ford of Canada and Chrysler Canada. At Vickers & Benson, Fyshe was responsible for forming a team recognized by Ford of Canada as the strongest that they had worked with in the 30 years that Vickers & Benson had managed the Lincoln and Mercury brand business. During his tenure at BBDO Retail, his team developed a number of popular Chrysler commercials that included "Snowball", part of a campaign that was picked up around the world and won several awards including the 1997 'Canadian Advertising Success Stories' (Cassies) Grand Prix. The work helped Chrysler solidify their position as the leading manufacturer of Minivans in Canada with unprecedented sales volume. While President and CEO at BBDO Canada, he built and led a team that went on to win numerous new business pitches and creative awards, and saw the agency recognized as the creative power house in Canada at the time.

There was also a seperate state established briefly by Jose Carbajal, a Mexican born filibuster. (Dealt with extensively in the two books I read on the subject: Schemers and Dreamers and Manifest Destiny's Underworld). Short lived, he basically took and was driven from Matamoros, similar to Walker's Republic of Sonora/

An internet search for Jose Carbajal + filibuster will turn up some information. I thought I'd mention it, but I'm not going to do anything myself. Give you even odds this article is deleted for being not notable within six months any rate. (And any article on Carjabal would certainly be gone as soon as the DEAT squad discovers it). Worth mentioning though, on the off chance that Wikipedia ever becomes sane. (Ha, ha.) --<IP_ADDRESS> 04:43, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

POV
This is an impressive article, when I clicked on the wiki link from the republic of Texas article I was expecting a stub. But unfortunately its riddled with POV statements. I think they should be more neutral.ʄ! •¿talk?  13:40, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Incorrect Map
The map in the infobox is incorrect, as it shows the United States having already annexed the Southwest and Texas. In reality, the Republic of the Rio Grande existed before the Mexican-American War, when the Republic of Texas was independent and Mexico controlled much of the surrounding area. For appropriate borders, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:United_States_1838-1842.png

Category sort issues
I found this article through Category:Former countries in North America and was going to add a sort to that category, but can't find it in the edit....and I can't find Category:Short-lived states either, or other categories which do display. Are they automatic re other categories, or are they hidden somewhere in the text and I just can't see them? I tried "find on page" but found nothing.....for the record, in Category:Former countries in North America, this article displays under the lower-case 't' section, and I can't see why.Skookum1 (talk) 16:38, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

This is a fillisbustering article
This article treats the attempted sublevation area as a real republic which it never was, and is suspiciously full of POV and no references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 07:16, 27 March 2009 (UTC) I has been correcting the article and someone just send me a message identifying the changes I made as vandalism. This is way far from the truth. The article is strongly biased towards many different points of view, and not facts. For instance: There was not constitutional convention, what it occured was a meeting of caudillos at a ranch that planned a sublevation against the dictatorship. But it was not a constitutional convention as one were delegates were called from different regions. The members were not elected. The republic never existed as such and reading the article in its actual form it looks like it existed. A number of pieces of information just do not add up. For instance in Spanish in that region the Rio Grande is called the Rio Bravo, so the name of the republic should have been the republic of the rio bravo instead. Same for the footnote on the Laredo Capitol, were in Mexico there are not capitols but governor's or goverment's palaces. The article is very revisionist and etnocentric and not objective. If you disagree with me please make your point here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:24, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

"Río Grande" vs. "Rio Grande"
"Rio" without the tilde is an incorrect spelling of the actual name of this entity. The unrecognized republic had Spanish as its common name, and the very denomination of the republic is in Spanish. As a result, the correct spelling is "Río Grande" instead of "Rio Grande". I have moved all articles to correspond with this correct spelling. Bedivere (talk) 13:53, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

 * No.
 * This is the English Wiki.
 * Rio is the common spelling in the English language and the spelling which is listed on English language maps.
 * Feel free to write Río on the Spanish Wiki. GalantFan (talk) 05:34, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Your incivility (Spanish speaker does not realize he is on the English wiki, as you put it in the edit summary) is not an excuse to initiate an edit/move war. This Republic spoke Spanish. English speakers being too lazy to use a tilde is not an excuse to not include it, as the correct name is Río, not Rio. Bedivere (talk) 14:49, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * No. The name on the Spanish Wiki is Río, the spelling on English Wiki is Rio. There is no diacritic in the English alphabet.
 * It is the same to change the spelling of Republic to República. República would not be correct on the English Wiki. GalantFan (talk) 15:31, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Puede que aquella República hablaban español, pero en este Wiki hablamos inglés. GalantFan (talk) 15:43, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It is the same thing if you edit the English Wiki from "Mexico" to "México". You might say that Mexico is spelled incorrectly since they speak Spanish in México. GalantFan (talk) 15:51, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Not quite the same point. I don't get why you're treating me like a retarded by writing in broken Spanish when our communications have been solely in English. Please have a little respect. There is no diacritic in English alphabet? Not quite true (á, é, í, ó, ú, and that is only counting those with that tilde (there are other tildes)), but okay. You say this is the English Wikipedia, but taking your point literally, can you explain why places such as Nuevo León, Viña del Mar, Chungará and others have their tildes here? Your point is completely groundless and your personal attacks are insulting. Please stop treating me like an illiterate third-world Spanish speaker. Bedivere (talk) 16:44, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I am not good at conjugation, but you see my meaning.
 * It would be exactly the same situation if you go to the Mexico page, move it to México, and edit all the spelling. GalantFan (talk) 17:01, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * No, it's not the same. Mexico is widely spelt Mexico, without the tilde in English language sources. I don't see you proving your point with Río Grande. Bedivere (talk) 17:02, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * You have just proved my point exactly. Rio is widely spelled Rio, without the tilde in English language sources. GalantFan (talk) 17:04, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Since you are fluent, what is broken here? "Puede que aquella República hablara/hablaban español, pero en esta Wiki hablamos inglés."
 * Possibly "Puede que aquella República hablaron/hablaban español, pero en este Wiki hablamos inglés." GalantFan (talk) 17:28, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Want me to exemplify with former republics? Okay, here you go: Kingdom of Araucanía and Patagonia, Canton of Málaga, Republic of Liège, Republic of Yucatán. --Bedivere (talk) 16:46, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

General Biology/Tissues and Systems/Circulatory System

=Circulatory system=

Circulatory system functions

1. Transportation a. Respiration: gas exchange (O2 and CO2), overcomes limited rate of diffusion b. Nutrition: c. Excretory: (remove metabolic wastes) 2. Regulation a. Transport hormones b. Regulate body temperature c. Protection i. Blood clotting ii. Immune system (carries white blood cells)

Vasodilation: allows heat loss across epidermis, as seen in elephant ears, takes more blood to surface of body, sweating may accompany

Countercurrent heat exchange: used by dolphins in fins to conserve heat in cold water. Veins surround an artery, and blood returning to body absorbs heat from blood traveling out from body to fin, minimizing heat loss. Used by dogs in feet, etc.

Blood made of 1. plasma and 2. formed cellular elements (red and white blood cells, and platelets).

Plasma makes up 55% of blood volume. Cellular elements make up the other 45%.

Plasma makeup: 90% water, 7-8% soluble proteins (albumin maintains blood osmotic integrity, others clot, etc.) 1% electrolytes 1% elements in transit

Red blood cell (erythrocyte): contains hemoglobin, functions in oxygen transport. In mammals, red blood cells lose nuclei on maturation, and take on biconcave, dimpled, shape. No self repair, live 120 days. About 1000x more red blood cells than white blood cells. About 7-8 micrometers in diameter.

Hematocrit: proportion of blood volume that is occupied by cells, about 43% in humans on average. 48% for men and 38% for women.

White blood cells (leukocytes): Nucleated, about 10-14 micrometers in diameter, commonly amoeboid, escape circulatory system in capillary beds. Include basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils, monocytes, B- and T-cell lymphocytes.

Platelets (thrombocytes) Membrane bound cell fragments in mammals, no nucleus. In non-mammals, platelet role replaced by nucleated cells. Accumulate at site of broken blood vessels, form clots. Bud off special cells in bone marrow. 1-2 micrometers in diameter. 7-8 day life span, 1/10 or 1/20 as abundant as white blood cells.

Arteries: carry blood away from heart. Smallest tubes called arterioles, feed blood to capillaries.

Veins: return blood to heart. Smallest veins called venules.

Structure of arteries and veins, listed from inside (lumen) out: 1. epithelium (endothelium), 2. elastic connective tissue fibers, 3. smooth muscle, 4. connective tissue. Arteries have thicker elastic layer than do veins.

Capillaries, where exchange of materials occurs, are very thin and narrow, and red blood cells pass through single file. Capillaries are tiny but numerous, and their total volume is greater than that of supplying arteries.

Blood velocity drops in capillaries, picks back up in veins. Pressure highest in arteries, lower in capillaries and arteries.

Osmotic pressure draws interstitial fluid from blood in arterioles, but replaces it in venules.

One-way valves mean that blood can flow only one way, works with residual blood pressure and compression by skeletal muscles. Low pressure in thoracic cavity caused by breathing also helps move blood.

Wikipedia Instructions
These instructions will help develop an understanding of writing for Wikipedia. It begins with basic information that is necessary to write any Wikipedia article, followed by information that is necessary to write an article about chemical elements. Characteristics of these instructions include guidance that Wikipedia has provided about itself, learning how to wikilink, as well as information regarding length, media, and structure of a chemical element article.

Basic Knowledge on Writing for Wikipedia
In order to begin writing for Wikipedia, it is necessary to understand how to write for Wikipedia. The following bullet points in this section will introduce writing for Wikipedia:
 * Understand the Five Pillars of Wikipedia as well as what qualifies a source to be verifiable and reliable.
 * Write from a neutral point of view, meaning there is no bias and both sides of a controversy must both be represented according to their weight.
 * Know the length guidelines. Length is an important characteristic of Wikipedia that makes it unique. The articles of Wikipedia are concise and straightforward, using a summarizing writing style.
 * Become familiar with how to link to internal and external sources, as Wikipedia is an interconnected encyclopedia.
 * Use media to enhance the reader's understanding.
 * Write to be featured. For an article to be "featured," it must follow the guidelines given by Wikipedia. A very select few of articles obtain this acknowledgment, but it is worth understanding the quality of work that Wikipedia expects.

Writing About Chemical Elements
The articles Oxygen, Fluorine, and Carbon were used to analyze how to write a Wikipedia article on chemical elements.

Research
Research a chemical element using published sources. Very thorough research is required. The article on Oxygen uses 120 sources and the article on Fluorine has over 250 sources. Both of these articles are featured on Wikipedia, thus it is a good guideline for the extensive research required for articles written on elements. Many of the sources are academic journals or books. Some examples are Modern Fluoroorganic Chemistry: Synthesis, Reactivity, Applications, Journal of Physical Chemistry, Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, and The Nature of the Chemical Bond.

Lead Section
Begin the article with a well-written lead section. Because most people do not read entire Wikipedia articles, the lead section of element articles must provide a basic understanding of the topic and provide the answers that most people are looking for. This section also must not have any independent information. All the information within the lead section must also be somewhere else within the article. The lead sections of well-written articles, such as Oxygen, Fluorine, and Carbon, have approximately 300-400 word lead sections. This is approximately two to four paragraphs.

Media
Create an infobox. An infobox will be quite helpful for those who do not plan on reading the entire article. This should provide very basic facts and images regarding the element. Many of these facts include pronunciation, allotropes, location on the periodic table, atomic mass, and physical properties. For example, Fluorine is pronounced FLOOR-een, occurs as alpha and beta, is in group 17 and period 2, its atomic mass is 18.99, and is naturally a gas. All of this information is found within the infobox of the Fluorine article. Images are found throughout all chemical element articles. The images often show the element itself, people who have made discoveries about the element, structure of the element, allotropes, and pieces of technology that the element is used in. All of these images enhance the reader's understanding of the element.

Length
Write the article between 6,000 and 7,500. This means the article is fairly extensive so it is necessary to use research. The articles Oxygen and Fluorine as well as the article Carbon have this word count. This is roughly 45 words per source.

Contents
Write the body of the article using the research conducted, maintaining a summarizing writing style. Using several main headings with sub-headings will keep the information organized. The articles Carbon, Oxygen, and Fluorine contain information on characteristics, compounds, production, applications, and history. The article should look professional with some uses of media to keep the attention of the reader and further the reader's understanding of the element.

Sources and References Sections
Create well designed sources and references sections. If the sources and references sections are well developed, the article will be more reputable. This will allow the reader to find additional sources as well as prove the credibility of the Wikipedia article. Element articles use APA citation format, so this is definitely recommended. Here is an example from the Oxygen article: Morris, Richard (2003). The last sorcerers: The path from alchemy to the periodic table. Washington, D.C.: Joseph Henry Press. ISBN 0-309-08905-0.

I formatted my instructions differently to better replicate a Wikipedia article. I also added a lead section to the beginning of my instructions as well as reformatted the order of which my instructions were given to better represent the order in which someone finds it within an article.

Practice Writing Lead Sections
2017 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball: Duke vs. South Carolina

Current Lead: During the 2017 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship, Duke and South Carolina met on March 19th 2017 in the Bon Secours Wellness Arena for the round of 32. South Carolina defeated Duke in the match by a score of 88-81 to advance to the round of 16.

New Lead: Duke University and University of South Carolina (USC) opposed one another in the 2017 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. The teams played on March 19th, 2017 in the Bon Secours Wellness Arena. The University of South Carolina Gamecocks (ranked 7th in the East) caused an upset over the Duke University Blue Devils (ranked 2nd in the East) in the round of 32, winning 88-81. The results of this game were attributed to Duke's underperforming players, while USC's remained consistent. This victory placed the Gamecocks into the round of 16. However, due to the single elimination nature of the tournament, Duke's run at the championship ended here. The Gamecocks continued onward to the semi-finals of the tournament.

User:Mathew~enwikiversity

= Welcome! =

Hello, my name is Mathew and I hold a BSAS in Criminal Justice. I am currently pursuing my MS and wish to go on for my PhD as well.

Why I am here
I have joined Wikiversity for several specific reasons:

A. I wish to contribute as much as possible to the field of Criminal Justice on here.

B. As a masters student, I work as a Graduate Assistant and will be teaching soon. It would be in my best interest if I could have lesson plans prepared (although I'm sure I'll be using different books by then, and students think they have it bad!). By participating in Wikiversity, I am expanding not only the knowledge of those persons I help, but my own as well.

C. I believe wholeheartedly in the mission of Wikiversity.

Lessons
I would like to setup lessons on the following concepts within Criminal Justice:

1. Introduction to Criminal Justice (an overall look at the CJ system as a whole, including Federal, State and, Local systems. A brief treatment will be given to what are commonly known as the Executive (Law Enforcement), Legislative (State and Federal Senates, County Government) Judicial (Courts) branches, as well as corrections)

2. Criminology (That is, what theory has to say about why people commit crime and how it can be prevented)

3. Corrections (A comprehensive look at the American system of corrections, including the processes it involves, institution design, history, common features, and current/future problems)

4. Criminal Law (not my field per say, but I hope to give a general look at how an action is made illegal, the degrees of seriousness therein, the common types of criminal offences, and how they are treated within the system)

5. Criminal Courts (A look at the various court systems of the United States, from local to state and finally, federal)

6. Research (The field of Criminal Justice is commonly thought of as a 'daughter' of sociology. Therefore, it is ingrained in and inseparable from research. Rather than make a separate course for research, I hope to assist in expanding any existing courses/projects in research)

7. Public Policy (How and bill becomes a law. More so, however, why a law is enacted in the first place. Topics to be covered are strictly criminal (i.e., no civil laws will be covered by me personally) in nature and will focus mainly on public outcry for legislation)

Recommendations
If you have any thoughts you would like to share, or feel that I need to change a topic or how I will cover it, please let me know in my talkpage

Radom Synagogue

Radom Synagogue was an Orthodox Synagogue in Radom, Poland, destroyed by Nazi Germany following the invasion of Poland in World War II. The Synagogue was located at Podwalna Street, previously named the Bożnicza Street. It was built in 1846, and burned to the ground in 1939 when the Radom Ghetto was set up. Almost all Radom Jews perished during the Holocaust in occupied Poland resulting in nearly complete abandonment of the site. After the end of war, the ruins of the Synagogue were dismantled on the orders of the local pro-Soviet communist government.

Aftermath
In 1950, during the following period of Stalinism in Poland, at the empty lot where the Synagogue once stood, the local officials erected a memorial commemorating the lost Jewish community of Radom based on a design of Jakub Zajdensznir, and inscribed as devoted to victims of Nazism.
