Dutton Locks

Dutton Locks is a historic lock on the River Weaver in Cheshire, England. The locks are Grade II listed with Historic England. The locks are still in use and form a destination for walkers and cyclists. Dutton Locks is also the name of a hamlet of approximately six residences adjacent to the locks.

Description
There are two locks built in 1874 for the Weaver Navigation Company. The lock gates are driven by Pelton turbines and semaphores control access to the locks. The locks raise or lower boats by 2.4m (8 feet) and they are 7.3m (24 feet) deep when the locks are full. The largest ship ever to use the lock was the 1,000 tonne capacity St. Michael from the Netherlands, which passed through in 1984.

Facilities
The locks can only be accessed on land via a footpath along the river; consequently they are used as a recreational destination for walkers, horse riders and cyclists. The footpath forms part of the Weaver Way, a 40 mi hiking trail between Audlem and Frodsham. It is also on National Cycle Route 5.

The locks are managed by the Canal and River Trust and mooring is allowed with a permit. There is a shipwreck at the locks, of a boat called the Chica, built in 1894. The locks are a short distance from two other Grade II listed landmarks – Dutton Horse Bridge and Dutton Sluice – and the Grade II* listed Dutton Viaduct.

Implementation Challenges
The falling market value of materials that redeemable containers are made of such as metal, plastic or glass has lead to a decrease in the viability of many local recycling centers. CalRecycle, the agency that overseas the CRV program, reported in 2016 that recycling rates had declined below their goal of 80%. It is estimated that around 1.7 million containers were not recycled as a result of the decline over the past five years, ending up in dumps instead. Barriers to ease of recycling has effectively caused consumers to loose, as the LA Times reported, "at least $308 million in 5-cent deposits on cans and bottles in 2018,". The incentive to process the containers has decreased in monetary amount along with inflation further devaluing the incentive. A later bill, The California beverage container recycling law, attempted to solve the initial shortcomings by requiring that when not within half of a mile from a recycling center, that the markets themselves must accept CRV qualified containers or be fined a daily rate. This has not completely solved the issue as many companies choose not to accept recycles but do not pay the fine, similar to the litigation between the state of California and CVS as recent as December of 2019.

12374 Rakhat

12374 Rakhat (prov. designation: ) is a background asteroid from the central region of the asteroid belt, approximately 4.5 km in diameter. It was discovered on 15 May 1994, by American astronomer and software engineer Charles de Saint-Aignan at the Palomar Observatory in California, United States. The asteroid was named for the fictional planet "Rakhat" in the novel The Sparrow

Orbit and classification

Rakhat is a non-family asteroid from the main belt's background population. It orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 1.8–3.3 AU once every 4 years and 1 month (1,488 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.31 and an inclination of 9° with respect to the ecliptic.

A first precovery was taken at the discovering Palomar Observatory in November 1954, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 40 years prior to its official discovery observation.

Naming
This minor planet was named "Rakhat" after the fictional planet in the novel The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell. The novel begins in 2019, when SETI at the Arecibo, picks up radio broadcasts of music from this planet in the vicinity of Alpha Centauri. The first expedition is organized by the Jesuit order, known for its missionary, linguistic and scientific activities. The novel was followed by the sequel Children of God. The approved naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 28 March 2002 (M.P.C. 45234).

Physical characteristics
Rakhat is an assumed common S-type asteroid.

In May 2010, a rotational lightcurve was obtained from photometric observations made astronomers at the Palomar Transient Factory in California. It gave a rotation period of $4.57$ hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.31 in magnitude (U=2).

According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's space-based Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, the asteroid measures 4.6 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.21, while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 4.4 kilometers.

Linguistics/Morphology

Introduction
Morphology is the identification, analysis and description of the structure of words, practiced by morphologists.

This chapter will largely follow the morpheme-based theory of morphology, but a description of other views of morphology will be presented at the end.

Morphemes
A morpheme is roughly defined as the smallest linguistic unit that has semantic meaning. For example, the word boy cannot be broken down into any further unit of meaning intrinsic to the word itself. We might try to do so:
 * b;
 * o;
 * y;
 * bo and
 * oy

– but none of these mean anything relevant to the word boy here. We say that boy is made of only one morpheme.

But the word antigovernment can be broken down into: Therefore, we say that antigovernment is made of three morphemes.
 * anti- = against
 * govern = to rule/administrate
 * -ment = noun suffix

One should be careful not to break a single morpheme into multiple constituent morphemes. This is a common error in the analysis of some languages, such as Chinese. The word 犹豫 (yóuyù), meaning hesitate, is a notorious example. As most Chinese characters represent a single morpheme, linguists before the Qing Dynasty believed that all characters represented a single morpheme. As a result, the word 犹豫 has become the subject of much nonsensical speculation. One scholar during the Tang Dynasty believed that it originated from the description of a deer-like monkey that would look left and right before climbing a tree. Later generations discovered that 犹豫 was, in fact, a single disyllabic morpheme, disproving these odd claims.

Classifying Morphemes
Morphemes are categorised thus:
 * Bound morphemes: They cannot stand alone, i.e. they are affixes.
 * Derivational morphemes: We change the grammatical category or the meaning of the word. Examples are re-, de-, un-, -ness, -ly and so on.
 * Inflectional morphemes: We do not change the meaning or grammatical category of the word with these. We use them to mark plurality, tense, agreement, case and so on.
 * Free morphemes. They can be used alone.
 * Lexical morphemes: They represent the concepts of the message we wish to bring across. Ship, orange and president are some examples. They are an open set of words in a language.
 * Functional morphemes: They are functional words, like determiners, pronouns, conjunctions and so on. Whatever, because and against are some examples.

Affixation
Affixes are our workhorse morphemes—the tools we use again and again to assemble new words. There are several kinds of affixes:

 * Suffixes Suffixes are morphemes that attach to the end of a word. Examples are -ion in motion and -ate in investigate. Suffixes are written with an initial hyphen.
 * Prefixes Prefixes attach to the beginning of a word. Examples are re- in redo and un- in unthinkable. Prefixes are written with a terminal hyphen.
 * Infixes. Although English generally does not have infixes, or morphemes that go "in the middle" of a word, other languages do. An exception in English might be -bloody- in the following:
 * Q: Are you going to the concert tonight?
 * A: Absobloodylutely.
 * Infixes are written with initial and terminal hyphens, as above.

 * Circumfixes. Circumfixes are affixes that "surround" the word, attaching to the beginning and end of the word. Although English has few examples of this type of affix, other languages use it. The circumfix is probably most widely known from the German past participle (ge- -t for regular verbs). Probably the only circumfixes in English are en- -en in enlighten and em- -en in embolden, which are essentially the same circumfix, as we will see below. In older usage, however, the present participle could be formed using the circumfix a- -ing: a- -ing in a-flying or a- -ing in a-caroling. Circumfixes are written with initial and terminal hyphens.

Sometimes, multiple affixations can take place. The original word, which is a free morpheme, is known as the stem or root. We can attach affixes to it in a continual manner:

anti- inter- govern -ment -al -ist

Here, govern is a root, anti- and inter- are prefixes, and -ment, -al and -ist are suffixes.

Inflectional Morphology
Inflectional morphology is a type of morphology that deals only with the grammatical function of the word. In other words, it marks the grammatical categories. For example, you'd add -ing when you want to put a verb in the progressive aspect. English only has eight inflectional morphemes, all of which are suffixes:

 * -s (after a noun) indicates plurality
 * -'s indicates the possessive case
 * -s (after a verb) indicates the third-person singular
 * -ing indicates the progressive aspect, or participles
 * -en indicates the perfect aspect in some irregular verbs
 * -ed indicates the past tense
 * -er indicates comparatives
 * -est indicates superlatives

Technically, -'s is actually not an affix, but a clitic. This is because it does not necessarily attach to the end of a noun. For example, you can say The man from Moscow's book. Here, -'s attaches to Moscow, even though the book belongs to the man, not Moscow. This shows that although -'s attaches itself onto another word, it functions, in terms of its position in the sentence, like a word in its own right.

The types of inflection that occur depends very much on the language. The most common grammatical categories marked by inflection are below:
 * Tense: Verbs are inflected based on when an action or stated occurred, such as -ed in English.
 * Mood: Verbs are inflected based on the probability that the proposition is true (we will look at propositions in the semantics chapter). For example, in English, we strip down the verb to the root form in the imperative mood (Get out!) and the subjunctive mood (that he get out, in sentences such as I insisted that he get out). This is a 'zero morpheme', which we will cover below.
 * Person: Verbs are inflected based on the subject, such as -s for the third person in English.
 * Number: Words are inflected based on the number, such as -s for plural nouns in English. Note that some languages, like Chinese, have no plurals, while others, like Arabic, can have a dual value, i.e. two, that is distinct from plurality.
 * Gender: Words are inflected based on noun class, such as -e for French adjectives. For example, in French, you would say un homme chantant (a singing man) but une femme chantante (a singing woman). Note how chantant ('singing') becomes chantante.
 * Aspect: Words are inflected based on whether it is finished, such as -ing and -ed/-en in English.
 * Comparison: Adjectives are positive (no inflection in English), comparative (-er in English) or superlative (-est in English).
 * Case: Nouns are marked according to their roles in a sentence. For example, in Latin, nauta ('sailor') is in the nominative case (subject position), nautae is in the genitive case (usually marks possession) or the dative case (marks indirect objects), and nautam is in the accusative case (marks direct objects).
 * Evidentiality: Although it is not present in major languages, a quarter of the world's languages have this category. Consider this example from McLendon (2003):

Sometimes, a single inflection can handle multiple grammatical categories. For example, in French, the suffix -ions can mark:
 * First person + Plural number + Subjunctive mood: que nous allions
 * First person + Plural number + Imperfect tense: Nous allions

It is important to note that grammatical categories are not always marked by inflection. They can also be marked using function words.

Derivational Morphology
While English is poor in inflectional morphology, it has a complicated system of deriving new words from old.

Concatenative morphology
Concatenation is a process which deals with the formation of new lexical items by putting at least two distinct morphemes together. Concatenative processes are by far the ones which happen to be the most productive in the Indo-European language family. Thus, they are of major concern when it comes to discussing word-formation processes in English. These include compounding, affixation and incorporation. Their presence in the language varies with the last one being even non-existent in English.

Non-concatenative morphology
When a word is created as a result of linguistic operations on one morpheme, such process belongs to the branch of non-concatenation. Here are some examples:
 * Clipping/Truncation: A polysyllabic word is reduced. Advert and ad are clipped from advertisement.
 * Apocope/Back-clipping: We cut off all but the beginning of the word, like hippo from hippopotamus.
 * Apheresis/Fore-clipping: We cut off all but the end of the word, like bot from robot and phone from telephone.
 * Syncope: We cut off the middle part. This is rare and occurs in ma'am from madam.
 * Mixed clipping: We cut off both the beginning and the end, e.g. fridge from refrigerator.
 * Hypocorism: It is a type of clipping associated with child talk. We take the first syllable, then add an /i/ sound to the end. Examples are Aussie and telly.
 * Backformation: A word is reduced to a simpler form by removing a supposed affix, e.g. swindler (noun) → swindle (verb).
 * Conversion: A word is changed to another category without changing its form at all, e.g. chair (noun) → chair (verb). Many linguists suggest, however, that this is a case of zero-derivation, which means an empty morpheme is concatenated with the word.
 * Ablaut
 * Reduplication: An element of a word is repeated. This is not found in English, while Chinese uses reduplication for a variety of purposes. For example, the "看 (look)" in "让我看看 (let me have a look)" is reduplicated to produce a slight requiring mood, compared to "让我看 (let me look)".
 * Acronymisation: An acronym becomes a word. Scuba (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus), radar (RAdio Detection And Ranging) and laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) are common examples.

Morphs and Allomorphs
One way to treat differences in inflectional morphemes is by proposing variation in morphological realization rules. In order to do this, we draw an analogy with some processes already noted in phonology. Just as we treated phones as the actual phonetic realization of phonemes, so we can propose morphs as the actual forms used to realize morphemes. For example, the form cats consists of two morphs, cat + -s, realizing a lexical morpheme and an inflectional morpheme ("plural"). The form buses also consists of two morphs (bus + -es), realizing a lexical morpheme and an inflectional morpheme ("plural"). So there are at least two different morphs (-s and -es) used to realize the inflectional morpheme "plural". Just as we noted that there were "allophones" of a particular phoneme, so we can recognize the existence of allomorphs of a particular morpheme. That is, when we find a group of different morphs, all versions of one morpheme, we can use the prefix allo- (means, one of a closely related set) and describe them as allomorphs of that morpheme.

Other Morphemes
Certain processes which apply to words are often considered to be "morphemes", despite having no single surface realization.

Other Theories of Morphology
Lexeme-based morphology views words as being the result of the application of rules to lexemes, rather than the concatenation of morphemes.

Word-based morphology or Realizational morphology views what would traditionally be considered derived or inflected words to be paradigms which bear internal similarity and often systematic relationships to other paradigms due to analogy.

Nicosia, Sicily

Nicosia (Gallo-Italic of Sicily: Nẹcọscia; Nicusìa) is a comune (municipality) in the province of Enna, in the Italian region of Sicily. It is located at 720 metres above sea level, on a rocky massive culminating in four imposing hills. The origin of Nicosia is uncertain. Nicosia and Troina are the northernmost towns in the province of Enna. The vicinity was traditionally made up of salt mines and arable lands.

For the capital city of Cyprus, see Nicosia.

History
Engio, Erbita and Imachara are the three cities of antiquity with which historians have attempted to identify Nicosia with, but there is no evidence that the mentioned towns are in fact Nicosia. The present name of the town suggests Greek Origins: it is believed to get its name from Saint Nicholas (Νίκου Οίκος), who together with San Felix are the patrons of the town,. Another theory suggests it is a derivative of the Greek saying "City of Victory" (Νίκης Οίκος, ). The town is believed to stand on the site of the ancient Engynum. The modern town was founded by Byzantine colonists in the 6th century. It expanded under the Arab domination and later under that of the Normans, who settled numerous immigrants from Lombardy and Piedmont, called "Lombards", giving rise to the Gallo-Italic dialect still spoken in the town and surrounds. King William II made Nicosia a royal city. It played an important strategic role, favoured by its position halfway between Palermo and Messina. It often gave hospitality to important figures, including Emperor Charles V.

Town structure
Nicosia's past and present town's structure show the artistic and cultural heritage of the Byzantine occupation. Fragments of its history are noticeable everywhere: in its churches, in its palaces, in the villas and even in the poor residential area. The circular net of trails takes the hiker through different parts of town, which is clustered up onto "del Castello", "del Salvatore", "di Monteoliveto" and "dei Cappuccini" rocky hills. Because of its particular structure Nicosia looks like a stairway to the sky. Walking through town, some of the main sights are the medieval and the baroque parts of town, with their aristocratic villas such as "La Motta Salinella", "La Motta S. Silvestro" and "La Via". Nicosia is perhaps better represented by its masserie, witnesses of the rural life and cultural legacy of generations of countrymen.

Main sights

 * Cathedral: built in the 14th century over a pre-existing Norman edifice, is dedicated to St. Nicholas. The façade has a noteworthy 15th century portal, while the interior houses a painting by Jusepe de Ribera. The campanile is from the 13th century.
 * Santa Maria Maggiore: contains a 16th-century holy water stoup, the throne of Charles V, a fine marble polyptych by Antonello Gagini.
 * San Benedetto: 14th century church
 * San Biagio: has paintings by Giuseppe Velasquez and a triptych by Antonello Gagini.
 * Church of the Carmine: houses an Annunciation by Antonello Gagini.
 * Santissimo Salvatore: church atop the peak above the town
 * Palazzo Cirino

There are also remains of the Norman castle in the upper part of the town.

C Programming/Pointers and arrays

A pointer is a value that designates the address (i.e., the location in memory), of some value. Pointers are variables that hold a memory location.

There are four fundamental things you need to know about pointers:
 * How to declare them (with the address operator ' ': )
 * How to assign to them
 * How to reference the value to which the pointer points (known as dereferencing, by using the dereferencing operator ' ': )
 * How they relate to arrays (the vast majority of arrays in C are simple lists, also called "1 dimensional arrays", but we will briefly cover multi-dimensional arrays with some pointers in a later chapter).

Pointers can reference any data type, even functions. We'll also discuss the relationship of pointers with text strings and the more advanced concept of function pointers.

Declaring pointers
Consider the following snippet of code which declares two pointers:

Lines 1-4 define a structure. Line 8 declares a variable that points to an int, and line 9 declares a variable that points to something with structure MyStruct. So to declare a variable as something that points to some type, rather than contains some type, the asterisk is placed before the variable name.

In the following, line 1 declares  as a pointer to a long and   as a long and not a pointer to a long. In line 2,  is declared as a pointer to a pointer to an int.

Pointer types are often used as parameters to function calls. The following shows how to declare a function which uses a pointer as an argument. Since C passes function arguments by value, in order to allow a function to modify a value from the calling routine, a pointer to the value must be passed. Pointers to structures are also used as function arguments even when nothing in the struct will be modified in the function. This is done to avoid copying the complete contents of the structure onto the stack. More about pointers as function arguments later.

Assigning values to pointers
So far we've discussed how to declare pointers. The process of assigning values to pointers is next. To assign the address of a variable to a pointer, the  or 'address of' operator is used.

Here, pPointer will now reference myInt and pKeyboard will reference dvorak.

Pointers can also be assigned to reference dynamically allocated memory. The malloc and calloc functions are often used to do this.

The malloc function returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory (or NULL if unsuccessful). The size of this memory will be appropriately sized to contain the MyStruct structure.

The following is an example showing one pointer being assigned to another and of a pointer being assigned a return value from a function.

When returning a pointer from a function, do not return a pointer that points to a value that is local to the function or that is a pointer to a function argument. Pointers to local variables become invalid when the function exits. In the above function, the value returned points to a static variable. Returning a pointer to dynamically allocated memory is also valid.

Pointer dereferencing
To access a value to which a pointer points, the  operator is used. Another operator, the  operator is used in conjunction with pointers to structures. Here's a short example.

The expression  is entirely equivalent to. They both access the  element of the structure pointed to by. There is one more way of dereferencing a pointer, which will be discussed in the following section.

When dereferencing a pointer that points to an invalid memory location, an error often occurs which results in the program terminating. The error is often reported as a segmentation error. A common cause of this is failure to initialize a pointer before trying to dereference it. C is known for giving you just enough rope to hang yourself, and pointer dereferencing is a prime example. You are quite free to write code that accesses memory outside that which you have explicitly requested from the system. And many times, that memory may appear as available to your program due to the vagaries of system memory allocation. However, even if 99 executions allow your program to run without fault, that 100th execution may be the time when your "memory pilfering" is caught by the system and the program fails. Be careful to ensure that your pointer offsets are within the bounds of allocated memory!

The declaration  is used to declare a pointer of some nonspecified type. You can assign a value to a void pointer, but you must cast the variable to point to some specified type before you can dereference it. Pointer arithmetic is also not valid with  pointers.

Pointers and Arrays
Up to now, we've carefully been avoiding discussing arrays in the context of pointers. The interaction of pointers and arrays can be confusing but here are two fundamental statements about it:

The first case often is seen to occur when an array is passed as an argument to a function. The function declares the parameter as a pointer, but the actual argument may be the name of an array. The second case often occurs when accessing dynamically allocated memory.
 * A variable declared as an array of some type acts as a pointer to that type. When used by itself, it points to the first element of the array.
 * A pointer can be indexed like an array name.

Let's look at examples of each. In the following code, the call to  effectively allocates an array of struct MyStruct items.

Pointers and array names can pretty much be used interchangeably; however, there are exceptions. You cannot assign a new pointer value to an array name. The array name will always point to the first element of the array. In the function, you could however assign a new value to workingArray, as it is just a pointer to the first element of workingArray. It is also valid for a function to return a pointer to one of the array elements from an array passed as an argument to a function. A function should never return a pointer to a local variable, even though the compiler will probably not complain.

When declaring parameters to functions, declaring an array variable without a size is equivalent to declaring a pointer. Often this is done to emphasize the fact that the pointer variable will be used in a manner equivalent to an array.

Now we're ready to discuss pointer arithmetic. You can add and subtract integer values to/from pointers. If myArray is declared to be some type of array, the expression, where j is an integer, is equivalent to. For instance, in the above example where we had the expression, we could have written that as   or more simply.

Note that for addition and subtraction of integers and pointers, the value of the pointer is not adjusted by the integer amount, but is adjusted by the amount multiplied by the size of the type to which the pointer refers in bytes. (For example,  can be thought of as  .)

One pointer may also be subtracted from another, provided they point to elements of the same array (or the position just beyond the end of the array). If you have a pointer that points to an element of an array, the index of the element is the result when the array name is subtracted from the pointer. Here's an example.

You may be wondering how pointers and multidimensional arrays interact. Let's look at this a bit in detail. Suppose A is declared as a two dimensional array of floats and that pf is declared a pointer to a float. If pf is initialized to point to A[0][0], then *(pf+1) is equivalent to A[0][1] and *(pf+D2) is equivalent to A[1][0]. The elements of the array are stored in row-major order.

Let's look at a slightly different problem. We want to have a two dimensional array, but we don't need to have all the rows the same length. What we do is declare an array of pointers. The second line below declares A as an array of pointers. Each pointer points to a float. Here's some applicable code:

We also note here something curious about array indexing. Suppose  is an array and   is an integer value. The expression  is equivalent to. The first is equivalent to, and the second is equivalent to. These turn out to be the same, since the addition is commutative.

Pointers can be used with pre-increment or post-decrement, which is sometimes done within a loop, as in the following example. The increment and decrement applies to the pointer, not to the object to which the pointer refers. In other words,  is equivalent to.

Pointers in Function Arguments
Often we need to invoke a function with an argument that is itself a pointer. In many instances, the variable is itself a parameter for the current function and may be a pointer to some type of structure. The ampersand ( ) character is not needed in this circumstance to obtain a pointer value, as the variable is itself a pointer. In the example below, the variable, a pointer, is a parameter to function  , and is passed as an argument to.

The second parameter to  is an int. Since in function,   is a pointer to an int, the pointer must first be dereferenced using the * operator, hence the second argument in the call is. The third parameter to function  is a pointer to a long. Since  is itself a pointer to a long, no ampersand is needed when it is used as the third argument to the function.

Pointers and Text Strings
Historically, text strings in C have been implemented as arrays of characters, with the last byte in the string being a zero, or the null character '\0'. Most C implementations come with a standard library of functions for manipulating strings. Many of the more commonly used functions expect the strings to be null terminated strings of characters. To use these functions requires the inclusion of the standard C header file "string.h".

A statically declared, initialized string would look similar to the following:

The variable  can be viewed as an array of 21 characters. There is an implied null character ('\0') tacked on to the end of the string after the 'd' as the 21st item in the array. You can also initialize the individual characters of the array as follows:

An initialized array of strings would typically be done as follows:

The initialization of an especially long string can be split across lines of source code as follows.

The library functions that are used with strings are discussed in a later chapter.

Pointers to Functions
C also allows you to create pointers to functions. Pointers to functions syntax can get rather messy. As an example of this, consider the following functions:

Declaring a typedef to a function pointer generally clarifies the code. Here's an example that uses a function pointer, and a void * pointer to implement what's known as a callback. The  function invokes a caller supplied function   with caller data. Note that  really doesn't know anything about what   refers to.

Some versions of C may not require an ampersand preceding the  argument in the   call. Some implementations may require specifically casting the argument to the  type, even though the function signature exacly matches that of the typedef.

Function pointers can be useful for implementing a form of polymorphism in C. First one declares a structure having as elements function pointers for the various operations to that can be specified polymorphically. A second base object structure containing a pointer to the previous structure is also declared. A class is defined by extending the second structure with the data specific for the class, and static variable of the type of the first structure, containing the addresses of the functions that are associated with the class. This type of polymorphism is used in the standard library when file I/O functions are called.

A similar mechanism can also be used for implementing a state machine in C. A structure is defined which contains function pointers for handling events that may occur within state, and for functions to be invoked upon entry to and exit from the state. An instance of this structure corresponds to a state. Each state is initialized with pointers to functions appropriate for the state. The current state of the state machine is in effect a pointer to one of these states. Changing the value of the current state pointer effectively changes the current state. When some event occurs, the appropriate function is called through a function pointer in the current state.

Practical use of function pointers in C
Function pointers are mainly used to reduce the complexity of switch statement. Example with switch statement:

Without using a switch statement:

Function pointers may be used to create a struct member function: Use to implement this pointer (following code must be placed in library).

Examples of pointer constructs
Below are some example constructs which may aid in creating your pointer.

sizeof
The sizeof operator is often used to refer to the size of a static array declared earlier in the same function.

To find the end of an array (example from Buffer overflow):

To iterate over every element of an array, use

Note that the  operator only works on things defined earlier in the same function. The compiler replaces it with some fixed constant number. In this case, the  was declared as an array of 10 char's earlier in the same function, and the compiler replaces   with the number 10 at compile time (equivalent to us hard-coding 10 into the code in place of  ). The information about the length of  is not actually stored anywhere in memory (unless we keep track of it separately) and cannot be programmatically obtained at run time from the array/pointer itself.

Often a function needs to know the size of an array it was given -- an array defined in some other function. For example,

Unfortunately, (in C and C++) the length of the array cannot be obtained from an array passed in at run time, because (as mentioned above) the size of an array is not stored anywhere. The compiler always replaces sizeof with a constant. This sum routine needs to handle more than just one constant length of an array.

There are some common ways to work around this fact:
 * Write the function to require, for each array parameter, a "length" parameter (which has type "size_t"). (Typically we use sizeof at the point where this function is called).
 * Use of a convention, such as a null-terminated string to mark the end of the array.
 * Instead of passing raw arrays, pass a structure that includes the length of the array (such as ".length") as well as the array (or a pointer to the first element); similar to the  or   classes in C++.

It's worth mentioning that sizeof operator has two variations: sizeof (type) (for instance: sizeof (int) or sizeof (struct some_structure)) and sizeof expression (for instance: sizeof some_variable.some_field or sizeof 1).

Vertebrata fruticulosa

Vertebrata fruticulosa (Boergeseniella fruticulosa (Wulfen) Kylin) is a small marine alga in the Division Rhodophyta.

Description
Vertebrata fruticulosa is a small branched alga growing to 15 cm long. The erect axes are surrounded by 11 to 12 pericentral cells all of the same length. Cortication of small cells cover these branches. They are attached by rhizoids. Very similar to Vertebrata thuyoides and certain other species of Polysiphonia.

Reproduction
There are male and female plants. Spermatangial branches grow near the apices of the young branches. Cystocarps are sessile. Tetraspores are formed near the ends of the branches distorting it into a spiral shape.

Habitat
Epiphytic on other algae such as Corallina also on rock in rock pools in the littoral.

Distribution
In the eastern Atlantic from the Shetland Isles, Britain, Ireland, Morocco and the Mediterranean.

João Paulo Sanches

João Paulo Imbernom Sanches (born 14 August 1980), known as João Paulo Sanches, is a Brazilian football manager. He is the current technical coordinator of Ceará.

Career
Sanches' first experience as first team manager occurred in February 2015, after Marcelo Chamusca's dismissal. He was in charge for two further spells during the year, replacing Jorginho and Gilberto Pereira.

Sanches returned to his assistant role in 2016, but was again appointed interim manager on 21 July 2017, replacing sacked Doriva. Despite failing to avoid relegation with the club, he was definitely named manager on 3 December.

Sanches went back to the assistant role after the appointment of Claudio Tencati, and subsequently had spells at Ponte Preta (as an assistant) and Aparecidense (as a manager) before returning to Dragão in 2020, as a technical coordinator. On 3 March 2021, after both manager Marcelo Cabo and permanent assistant manager Eduardo Souza left the club, he was named interim manager for the start of the campaign.

Talk:Child care indicator

Untitled
'''First, what does the article do well? Is there anything from your review that impressed you? Any turn of phrase that described the subject in a clear way?''' Having a lot of citations is excellent for your Wikipedia article, a lot of issues with putting content in the mainspace was they wanted multiple academic sources talking about the topic. Good job taking the time to put multiple sources and continue this when you put more information. You also did a great job at giving concrete facts and not using pervasive language. Your article was a great read, I really nit picked things and just added some suggestions I thought were helpful. '''What changes would you suggest the author apply to the article? Why would those changes be an improvement?''' I am a little unclear about what your topic is called. If it is child care indicators, you want to mention that in the first sentence and have it bolded (this was recommended in our training). I would also talk about where these indicators are available, is it open to the public, can anyone access it? Your headings do not need to be capitalized all the way through, ex. Positive development, Standards of quality. When mentioning organizations like OECD I would include a hyperlink to those wikipedia pages, the code for it is brackets with the name inside. Under the barriers sub section you talk about a lack of guidelines for curriculum development. Talking about how ECEC does not equally represent children and families equally would be really interesting to talk about more, maybe its own sub-section. Maybe provide a historical context for the page, talk about when the first data was collected for child care facilities and what were the first indicators brought forward? Lastly, when you mention the data is collected by child care facilities and other child care situations. Maybe touch more on what facilities and situations, sorry if this may seem obvious but I know nothing about child care facilities so it would be helpful to be clearer on this. What's the most important thing the author could do to improve the article? Overall, I know you are still getting it ready for the mainspace so just continue adding more content, think about the questions we look at when observing data in class and continue providing a lot of sources like you have. Your article is off to an amazing start! Did you notice anything about the article you reviewed that could be applicable to your own article?

I got mine deleted from the mainspace for lack of sources so I could learn a thing or two from how many sources you included haha. I hope my review was helpful.

Article Evaluation

Data Broker

'''Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?'''

All of the information is related to the topic, though the very first section suggests that my search was re-routed through the term Information Broker. I assume that this is due to the fact that there is more than one title for this practice, and Wikipedia has consolidated the information. '''Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?'''

The atricle seems to present the information as neutrally as possible. The very nature of the practice of data (or information) brokerage is unpleasant for the individuals whose data is being collected and distributed, but there is nothing in the article that alludes to it.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

I was unable to locate any instances of any viewpoints at all. The article describes what a data information broker does without using any language that would indicate an unfair viewpoint. There is a section entitled Criticisms. Perhaps there could exist a counter to this section somehow, though I am not sure what it would be. The Criticisms section contains only factual information about criticisms of data and information brokerage.

'''Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?'''

I checked seven of the 15 sources listed. All the links I tried worked, and the information they linked to were related to the content of the material on the Wikipedia page. I read 3 of the articles I clicked on and they all contained information that the Wikipedia entry claimed that they contained.

'''Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? '''

All of the facts listed are referenced. Though there is a flag at the top of this page indicating that there are not sufficient inline citations. It seems to me that there are quite a few of these, and so I wonder if this template has just not been updates recently. Being so new and inexperienced with Wikipedia, I don't feel like I have the experience to determine whether or not this is in fact the case. The sources that are listed are a combination of articles and reports from independent, non-partisan, not-for-profit agencies and government reports. In both cases, I was able to find information about the organizations and what their goals were easily, and nothing appeared to be too terribly biased. If pressed, I could say that the independent sources were clearly advocating against the use of data brokerage, while the government sites seemed to be advocating for control over this area, rather than it's elimination.

'''Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?'''

Knowing as little as I do about the topic, I wasn't able to come up with any information that was missing. It might prove to be a more balanced entry if there was some information that came directly from a Data or Information Brokerage organization. This way, we could be sure we are hearing from at least two sides of the discussion

'''Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? '''

The only discussion is regarding the fact that the information presented is US-centric. Th reply indicates that the majority of brokerage companies are American, and welcomes the addition of more global information.

'''How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?'''

The article has several Ratings:
 * °High-Importance and Start-Class ratings for Occupations Articles
 * °Low-Importance for Business Articles

Both Occupations and Business Articles are WikiProjects

How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

While we haven't thoroughly discussed this topic in class yet, I imagine we will include some discussion about the ways that this practice affects real lived lives, and what impact it has on how we choose to interact online. I also feel that our class discussion will head in a much more biased direction, as we are the individuals whose data is being collected and sold, and we have opinions on that topic, which will be investigated.

Ixothraupis

 Ixothraupis is a genus of Neotropical birds in the tanager family Thraupidae.

Taxonomy and species list
These species were formerly placed in the genus Tangara. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that Tangara was polyphyletic. In the rearrangement to create monophyletic genera, the genus Ixothraupis was resurrected. It had been introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1851 with the spotted tanager as the type species. The name combines the Ancient Greek ixos meaning "mistletoe" with "thraupis", an unknown small bird.

The genus contains five species:

 * Dotted tanager, Ixothraupis varia
 * Rufous-throated tanager, Ixothraupis rufigula
 * Spotted tanager, Ixothraupis punctata
 * Speckled tanager, Ixothraupis guttata
 * Yellow-bellied tanager, Ixothraupis xanthogastra

Question: Wouldn't it be more interesting to list the goals conceded rather than goals scored (or to omit that data altogether), it seems silly to follow the layout of field players for the goalkeeper imho.

Oran of Iona

Oran or Odran (Odrán, Odhrán; Otteranus, hence sometimes Otteran; died AD 548), by tradition a descendant of Conall Gulban, was a companion of Saint Columba in Iona, and the first Christian to be buried on that island. Saint Odhrán's feast day is on 27 October.

Life
Odran lived for over forty years in the area now known as Silvermines, in County Tipperary, Ireland, building a church there in 520. According to Irish tradition, Odran also served as abbot of Meath, and founded Lattreagh. In 563, he was among the twelve who accompanied Columba to the Scottish island of Iona, where he died and was buried. Columba is said to have seen devils and angels fight over Odran's soul before it ascended into heaven.

One popular legend surrounding Odran's death is that he consented to being buried alive beneath a chapel that Columba was attempting to build at Iona. A voice had told Columba that the walls of the chapel would not stand until a living man was buried below the foundations, and indeed, each morning the builders would arrive at the site to find all their work of the previous day undone. So Odran was consigned to the earth, and the chapel was erected above him. One day, however, Odran lifted his head out of the ground and said: "There is no Hell as you suppose, nor Heaven that people talk about". Alarmed by this, Columba quickly had the body removed and reburied in consecrated ground – or, in other versions of the story, simply called for more earth to cover the body.

In a Hebridean version of this tale, Odran was promised that his soul would be safe in heaven. Sometime after the burial, Columba wanted to see Odran once more and opened the pit under the chapel. When Odran saw the world, he tried to climb out of his grave, but Columba had the pit covered with earth quickly to save Odran's soul from the world and its sin.

These legends are one of the few instances of foundation sacrifice in Great Britain. While the story of Odran's self-sacrifice does not appear in Adomnán's Life of Columcille, George Henderson says that the legend points to an ancient folk-belief. He believes this is similar to the Arthurian legend of the building of Dinas Emris, where Vortigern was counselled to find and sacrifice "a child without a father" to ensure that the fortress walls did not collapse.

Due to the similarity of the name, some people have identified Odran with Saint Odran, the first Irish Christian martyr. There is a parallel in that each man voluntarily sacrificed himself to further the work of a better-known saint.

Legacy
The oldest remaining church on Iona is dedicated to Saint Odran. The surrounding cemetery is called Reilig Odhráin in his memory.

Odran is the patron saint of the parish of Silvermines, County Tipperary. He was chosen by the Vikings as patron of the city of Waterford in 1096 and later chosen as patron of the diocese.

In culture
Neil Gaiman's poem "In Relig Odhrain", published in Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances (2015), retells the story of Oran's death. Gaiman later provided the narration for the 2019 animated short "The Grave of St. Oran," based on Gaiman's poem and directed by Jim Batt.

New Zealand singer-songwriter Stephen McDonald's song "Oran" on the CD Stone of Destiny relates the tale of Oran and his demise.

The Web of the Chozen

The Web of the Chozen is a novel by Jack L. Chalker published in 1978.

Plot summary
The Web of the Chozen is a novel about Bar Holliday on a lost colony, as his body has been altered by a mutant virus into a quadruped.

Reception
Howard Thompson reviewed The Web of the Chozen in The Space Gamer No. 15. Thompson commented that "The redeeming feature of The Web of the Chozen is that some of the ideas are interesting and, in selected spots, are handled with moderate style. It would be far more interesting if the characters could be seen side ways, and did more than walk through their lines."

Wikijunior:Solar System/Neptune

How big is this planet ?
Neptune is very similar to Uranus in size. Its diameter is only slightly smaller, at 49,528 km wide. It is almost as big as four Earths in length.

What is its surface like?
The atmosphere of Neptune has some dark blue spots. When the Voyager probe went by Neptune in 1989, it saw a large one called the Great Dark Spot. In 1994, it vanished, but later reappeared. There is also a large white cloud nicknamed "Scooter." It goes around Neptune every 16 hours. The winds of Neptune are very fast, blowing at up to 2000 km per hour(the fastest in the entire solar system). That is about four times faster than the fastest recorded tornado on Earth.

What are its rings like?
Neptune has some faint rings that are dark and hard to see. There are clumps in some parts of the rings where the material is denser.

What are its moons like?
Neptune has 14 moons. There could be more.

Inner Moons
There are five small potato-shaped moons orbiting close to Neptune.

Proteus
Proteus is a dark moon about 418 km across. It has an irregular shape. In Roman mythology Proteus was a sea-god who could change into any shape he wanted.

Triton
Triton is the largest moon of Neptune. Scientists think that it is a lot like Pluto. It is 2700 km across. It is made of rock and ice. It has a surface temperature of −235 °C Triton has a very thin atmosphere made up of nitrogen and a little methane.

There are volcanoes that have eruptions of liquid nitrogen, dust or methane compounds. The eruptions happen because of the seasons. There are few craters because the eruptions cover them up. There are ice caps that change sizes with the seasons. There are also ridges and valleys. They may have formed because of repeated freezing and thawing.

An interesting thing about Triton's orbit is that it goes around Neptune in the opposite direction that Neptune's rotates. Because of this, scientists think that Triton was captured by Neptune long ago. In Roman mythology, Triton was the son of Neptune.

Nereid
Nereid is an irregularly shaped moon about 340 km across. Its orbit is very eccentric or noncircular. It may have been captured by Neptune or moved into the eccentric orbit by Triton's gravity when Triton got captured. In Roman mythology Nereids were sea nymphs.

Outer Moons
There are five other known moons. They are small potato-shaped moons far from Neptune. There might be more we haven't seen yet.

What is the Mass ?
A day on Neptune lasts 16 hours and 7 minutes.

How long is a year on this planet?
One year on Neptune is about 165 Earth years, or 60,265 days.

What is it made of?
Neptune is made of rock and metal in the core. The core is probably bigger than Uranus's because Neptune weighs more, but is the same size. Around the core is rock, water, ammonia and methane. The atmosphere is made of hydrogen and helium. Lower down in the atmosphere, there is methane and ammonia too. The methane makes Neptune look blue-green.

How much would Neptune's gravity pull on me?
If you were floating close to the cloud tops of Neptune, it would pull you down with a force only a little stronger than the force of Earth's gravity. The effects of Neptune's larger radius and its mass almost cancel out, making the force only a little bigger.

Who is it named after?
Neptune is named after the Roman god of the seas, also known as Poseidon in ancient Greece.

R.E.M. (band)
I'm nomming this for a featured article because I've been an R.E.M. fan nearly my whole life and I find it to be very well-written. LoomisSimmons 17:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|15px]] Oppose Don't let fan worship blind you to the technical merits of an article compared to FA criteria. Not nearly enough imagery or references.  Probably wouldn't quite pass GA-class muster yet. --Kitch 17:27, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Jackass, much? "Fan worship"? "Blind"? I think it's a fantastic article. If you don't, fine. But keep the snide comments to yourself. Maybe if it was about 70 more KB of bloated dreck, it would meet FA quality? Geez, I hope not. LoomisSimmons 17:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Watch your mouth, son. Profanity and sarcasm do not a good rebuttal make.  I did not intend to be rude, but checking the featured article criteria is the first step in the nomination process. --Kitch 18:03, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, are you Mr. Wikipedia? Is Jimbo Jones your dad? Are you even an admin? I mean, I could ignore you altogether, but now I'm curious as to who you think you are that you can give me orders. I may be taking to Wiki royalty and not even know it! LoomisSimmons 18:06, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not giving you orders. I'm reading the top of the Featured article candidates page, which is agreed-to Wikipedia policy.  Now please stop with the immaturity. --Kitch 18:12, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You still here? Wow, you must really hate R.E.M.! I mean, you've given your vote; what more could you possibly have to say? I mean, if you keep kicking your feet and crying, does your vote count twice or something? LoomisSimmons 18:19, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, I love R.E.M. Loving a subject has nothing to do with whether or not it's worthy of an FA nod or vote.  I love the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and I opposed its FA nod on technical merit.  This is no different.  Now I'd suggest keeping quiet about it.  You're only making a fool of yourself with your own "kicking your feet and crying". --Kitch 18:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I give you credit - you refuse to shut give up. You must have an admin nomination around here somewhere. "See, Daddy! I can be a complete asshole just like you! Pick me, pick me! I'm ever so rude!" Geez, I never thought I'd root for the presence of furries, but whatever would distract you right about now would be a plus. LoomisSimmons 19:08, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Cool it guys! Being rude to each other won't help matters at all. -- S iva1979 Talk to me  19:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose as per Kitch. Some P. Erson 18:35, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. This is FAR too premature.  A solid bit of the Warner-era material still holds the music review / editorial type writing that affected the entire article until a few months ago.  And it seems like we skipped a step - this article should have been put up for peer review first. -- ChrisB 19:34, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I didn't think of that, but you're right. That makes a lot more sense. If you link me to the instructions for that, I'll take this nom down and start with peer review. LoomisSimmons 19:39, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Peer reviews can be requested at Peer review. Instructions on listing an article for review can also be found there.

 * Oppose. It needs more inline citations. Also, the information in the trivia section should either be integrated elsewhere or removed entirely - trivia sections aren't generally recommended. LuciferMorgan 21:44, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks like Loomis withdrew the nomination and requested a peer review instead. Teemu08 06:33, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
