Ọdun Ọba Festival in Ondo Kingdom

Dated back to 1510 when a princess called pupupu a twins from oyo founded present day ONDO KINGDOM

The Odun Oba which comes up in July each year seems to suggest a total subjugation of the people of Ode – Ondo to the Osemawe and his hordes.It is preceded with Idijo odun Oba. 9 days after comes the odun Oba proper.

The Odun – Oba in Ondo normally lasts for seven days. Nine days before the festival, an official announcement is made. The announcement itself is a festival. The Etutu drums are beaten in the palace and royal regalia, with the beaded crown, are enthroned outside his palace. As the royal drums beat, the chiefs sit according to their rank on the left and right hand side at the open courtyard. After sometime, the war drums take over from the royal drums and the Elegbe (war chiefs) approach to greet the King (Osemawe).

They dance to the Oba wielding ceremonial swords or staffs in warlike gesture. Usually each dancer steps up to the Osemawe, and with clenched fist stretches his right arm towards him three times while simultaneously greeting the Oba with some of his (Ekiki) praise name. After the Elegbe, the Ekule follows by greeting the Oba in the same fashion. The Iwarefa who are the most senior of the chiefs appear with their drums and huge orchestra of gongs. The two most senior of Iwarefa, the Lisa and Jomu, pay a special homage to the Osemawe on this day. Clad in white, they dance together slowly up to the Oba, Three times they kneel down, putting sand on their foreheads. On the first day of the festival, the Osemawe is enthroned at Oreretu Street. Opposite the Osemawe some sixty meters away sits the Logbosere and the Out chiefs. The Out chiefs dance in turns to pay homage to the Osemawe. The last of the Otu chiefs to pay homage is the Jomughatu. After this, the Osemawe in company of the chiefs dance to Oyenren River by Okelisa Street, where he performs traditional rites. He dances on to Idim’Sora where he performs traditional rites. Thereafter, the Osemawe dances back to the palace.

On the second day of the festival, the Ekule chiefs dance to the palace with their gifts of goats to the Oba’s palace. There, they pay homage to the Oba. In return the Osemawe feasts the chiefs by killing some goats. In between these all the omoobas and otunbas would observe a vigil with osemawe in the palace. Following day In the evening, the Oba is seated in the shrine of Airo to receive presents of sheep from the Iwarefa chiefs. Gaurded by the war chiefs who line up with their swords and ceremonial staffs, the Iwarefa then pour libation for the Oba. One of the sheep is then sacrificed in the shrine of Airo, where the Osemawe makes sacrifice to his ancestors.

On the third day of the festival the Osemawe holds another procession round the town where he met with the otunbas and omoobas at Oreretu. As he dances slowly through the streets, people come out of their houses, pay homage to the Oba and present him with gifts. Osemawe again meet with the otunbas and omoobas at the junction of odosida where osemawe prays for them. Thereafter, he dances towards oiden at Ifore junction and Ori Ogun and thereafter returns to the palace. At the palace, the Osemawe is enthroned and the Opojis who are a set of female chiefs present him with cocks and kolanut.In the presence of all the omoobas and otunbas. The Osemawe’s wives and children come from inside the palace to pay homage to the Oba. The Osemawe then kills ram to feast his wives and children. This is called Ikumo. After.the departure of OSEMAWE children and wife. It's the turn of High Chief Adaja. High Chief Sasere and finally Olotu OMOOBA to pray for the OSEMAWE to end the session. The last three days of the festival, the Ekule chiefs feast the entire minor chief under them in turns. Odun Oba has become an important festival like other festival in Ondo town. It has served as a unifying platform for the King and his chiefs on hand and Iwarefas and the people on the other hand. Source From: Extract from the 1938 Thesis of Rev.

The Illearth War

The Illearth War is a fantasy novel by American writer Stephen R. Donaldson, the second book of the first trilogy of The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant series. It is followed by The Power that Preserves.

Plot summary
Several weeks after returning to his world from The Land, the leper Thomas Covenant is taking a phone call from his ex-wife Joan when he falls and hits his head, waking to find himself back in the Land, in the chamber of the Council of Lords of Revelstone.

Angered by the fact that he has been transported away from "reality", Covenant nevertheless believes he is once again experiencing a dream or delusion due to his head injury. His hypothesis is supported by the fact that the Land has seen the passing of forty years compared to the few weeks that have passed in his own world: the High Lord of the Council is Elena. Much later he learns that she is his daughter, born of his rape of Lena. Due to the trauma, Lena has disassociated from life and reverted to a childlike mentality, fully dependent on her family. Elena is now Covenant's summoner and shows no ill will towards her biological father. She and Covenant become close friends.

Elena explains that the evil Lord Foul has assembled a massive army, with which he now threatens the people of The Land. For forty years, the Lords have dedicated themselves to the study of Kevin's Lore, training new students at the school at the tree city of Revelwood. Only Mhorham remains from Lords of the council during the quest for the Staff of Law, but seven new Lords have taken their seats, having mastered both the magical and martial arts. The horse-tending Ramen have been enlisted to patrol the frontier near Foul's dominions. The Warward, the army of Revelstone, is full of battle-ready volunteers and is led by Hile Troy, who came to the Land from Covenant's world. An attempt was even made to attack Lord Foul directly, via a commando raid on his lair at the Land's eastern edge; although the raid, led by Lord Mhoram, failed, valuable knowledge was gained about Foul's forces.

The commander of Foul's army is one of three brothers of the race of Giants, a people previously thought incorruptible. With the aid of the powerful Illearth Stone, the Ravers, Foul's non-corporeal servants, have possessed the three brothers, now renamed Kinslaughterer, Fleshharrower, and Satansfist. In shame and despair, the other Giants offer no resistance as Kinslaughterer murders them all in their home city. Thus, the Lords have lost their strongest and bravest allies in the fight against evil.

Nevertheless, the Lords resolve to meet the enemy on the battlefield. Hile Troy is a genius in military tactics who developed a mystical form of sight when hurtloam, a magical mud with miraculous curative properties, was used to try and "heal" his lack of eyes. (The hurtloam used to heal Covenant's head injury also has the effect of "curing" his leprosy.) While Troy leads the army to confront Fleshharrower's attacking force, Elena and Covenant go in search of the Seventh Ward, a repository of ancient magical power which Elena believes will ensure victory.

Covenant, Elena and their two Bloodguard protectors journey through the remote mountain region on the western frontier of the Land to the hiding place of the Ward. Elena gains the power, but foolishly uses it to summon the long dead High Lord Kevin from his grave, and send him against Lord Foul. This act breaks the Law of Death, the barrier preventing the souls of the dead from interfering in the world of the living. Kevin's spirit is easily defeated and then enslaved by Foul wielding the Illearth Stone, and commanded to destroy Elena. The two High Lords engage in a battle of magic, in which Elena and her Bloodguard are defeated and killed, and the Staff of Law lost again. Covenant is able to save himself and his Bloodguard by using the power of his white gold ring, again without understanding how.

Meanwhile, Hile Troy has been forced into a desperate retreat by the superior force of the Raver's army to the edge of a dangerous, forbidding forest known as Garroting Deep. In desperation, he and Lord Mhoram beg the aid of Caerroil Wildwood, an immortal Forestal who is charged with protecting the ancient forests of the Land from the Ravers. Wildwood awakens the forest, totally destroying Foul's army, and personally garrotes Fleshharrower. The victory is a Pyrrhic one, however: the Lords' army is nearly obliterated, three Lords besides Elena have been killed, and Hile Troy has sacrificed himself as the price for the Forestal's aid, becoming Wildwood's immortal apprentice.

The war thus ends in a draw, and with the death of High Lord Elena his summoner, Covenant once again returns to his own world. His ex-wife has long since hung up the phone, and he is a leper once more.

Motion in a straight line

Position
First, we will talk about one of the most basic concepts of physics, position. There are many ways to express the position of a point particle, one of the simplest and most well known way being the Cartesian Coordinate System. In a Cartesian Coordinate System, the position of a particle is expressed as an ordered pair, the x-coordinate, a y-coordinate in a two or three dimensional space, and a z-coordinate in a three dimensional space.

 * $$ P = (x, y, z) \,$$

The point (0, 0, 0) is commonly known as the origin. The x, y, and z axes pass through the origin at right angles to create the foundation for point-plotting.

Displacement

 * $$\mathbf{d} = \Delta \mathbf{r} =  \mathbf{r}_2 - \mathbf{r}_1  $$

Velocity
The velocity is defined to be the rate of change of position with respect to time. For now, this basic definition should hold. Just knowing the basic definition of velocity should be enough to answer many of the problems we will investigate later. The SI unit for velocity is the meter/second. This should not surprise you as the SI unit for length is the meter and the SI unit for time is the second.

Since velocity is the rate of change of position, one can conclude that

 * $$\Delta x = vt \,$$

And since

 * $$\Delta x = x_f - x_o \,$$

 * $$x_f = x_o + vt \,$$

We have just derived a basic formula to calculate the position of an object given the initial position, a constant velocity, and the time elapsed.

There is a significant difference between velocity and speed. Velocity is a vector - It has two pieces of information: a magnitude and a direction. Speed is the magnitude of velocity, a scalar value. An important example of this distinction is centripetal acceleration. Since the definition of acceleration is a change in velocity, there can be a change in speed, direction or both. In centripetal acceleration, the speed of a particle in uniform circular motion (such as a weight attached to a string swung above one's head) does not have to change, though since its direction is constantly changing it experiences acceleration.

Examples
1. If point x has an initial position at 0 and travelling with constant velocity 3 m/s, find the position at 7 sec. Answer: To solve this problem, simply use the formula we derived earlier
 * $$x_f = x_o + vt \,$$
 * $$x_f = 0 m + 3 m/s(7 sec) \,$$
 * $$x_f = 21 m \,$$

Speed
Speed is the magnitude of velocity. It is a scalar quantity (i.e., not a vector). The direction of the particle does not influence its speed. For example, a particle traveling east at 10 meters per second has the same speed as a particle traveling west 10 meters per second; however, these two particles would have opposite velocities because they are traveling in opposite directions.

Acceleration
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. It is the derivative of velocity over time, as well as the second derivative of position over time.

Momentum
Momentum is mass times velocity. Momentum is always conserved, this is known as Conservation of Momentum.

 * $$\mathbf{p} = m \mathbf{v} \,$$

Force
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is mass times acceleration. Force is commonly confused with momentum. The SI unit of force is the newton.

 * $$F = ma \,$$

Suppose a car with a mass of 200kg is accelerating at 5 m/s/s. Since F = ma, you can calculate the force to be 1000 Newtons

However, if same car had a constant velocity of 5 m/s, the force is 0N because the car is not accelerating.

Constant Velocity

 * $$v = (x_f-x_o)/t\,$$

Constant Acceleration

 * $$a = a(t) = a_0 \,$$

 * $$v = v(t) = v_0 + a_0 t \, $$

 * $$x = x(t) = {1 \over 2}(v_0 + v(t)) t \, $$

 * $$x = x(t) = x_0 + v_0 t + {1 \over 2} a_0 t^2 \, $$

Australia: The Story of Us

Australia: The Story of Us was a television documentary drama which aired on the Seven Network between 15 February 2015 and 23 April 2015.

It was listed in the Daily Review's 'Top 10 must see Australian TV shows of 2015'.

Show details
Australia: The Story of Us is a localised version of the American television documentary series, America: The Story of Us. Narrated by Richard Roxburgh, it features interviews with prominent Australians including, among others, Chris Bath, Professor Tim Flannery, Ben Roberts-Smith, Tim Costello, Guy Sebastian, Dannii Minogue, Bruce McAvaney and Adam Goodes. The series looks back at some of the people, places and events that have shaped the country over the last 40,000 years.

Channel Seven's showrunner Chris Thorburn said; "I want the audience to be surprised, proud, entertained and awed; to walk away with a view of where we have come from and to see our story in a new light".

Reviews
Melinda Houston of the Sydney Morning Herald gave the show 3.5/5 saying; "Unashamedly celebratory and unashamedly populist, this new factual series from Seven is great entertainment that is also good for you. Using the same model as the US and British versions – big re-enactments, computer-generated images, talking heads who span the spectrum from serious academics to television actors, all threaded together by an energetic narration – The Story of Us takes key moments and characters from Australian history to tell the story of the nation. It is not a professorial piece of work, but it does not pretend to be. It's a rollicking yarn built on solid fact and, by that measure, it works splendidly".

David Knox of TvTonight was more critical. He said; "...this feels decidedly over-produced to me. The tone and editing upstage the history in a constant ploy to bring it closer to primetime drama." He added, "It is the over-produced drama (or even melodrama) that is most distracting here, which is a shame given the source material is so rich."

However, David Stephens on HonestHistory.net sums it up best by saying: "Overall, ASU makes an honest effort to deliver varied fare to fast-history consumers. Inevitably, short-order cooking ruins some dishes but four episodes of ASU fed into a young Australian would do more good than harm. Viewing these episodes would certainly give a more balanced (albeit superficial) view of this nation than would be obtained by, say, strolling through the Australian War Memorial. ASU deserves comparison with Defining Moments at the National Museum of Australia and Chris Masters’ The Years that Made Us as an introduction to an Australia that is about not only Anzac but lots of other things as well. In this year of all years, any production that puts our great Australian bellicosity in its proper, proportionate place is to be welcomed."

Mells War Memorial

 * Nominator(s):

I've been saving this one. I've been working on it on and off for a while but I've just put the finishing touches to it and I think it's ready. This is something a bit different. Mells is not a major city (its population in 2011 was just over 600), but the story of its war memorial poignantly tells the story of Britain in the First World War. People from all walks of life went off to the front, 21 of them never to return; Arthur Asquith (the prime minister's son, no less) had the unenviable task of unveiling a memorial on which his own brother and brother-in-law were listed. I'd love to take this to FAC, so as ever all feedback is much appreciated! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts?  12:52, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Overall a nice article, very little to quibble really. Harrias talk 13:04, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Comments from Harrias  talk
 * References: 15 and 16 need full-stops at the end for consistency with the rest.
 * Well spotted, done.
 * Images are all appropriately licensed. The A-class criteria doesn't seem to require alt text, but it would be a nice addition all the same.
 * I'm not sure what the alt text could usefully say given that the memorial is described in detail in the text and the purpose of alt text is to give a description of the image but I'm open to suggestions.
 * "..including memorials to sons from the families killed in the war." The word here is a bit ambiguous; it could be read that the families were killed. Also, the use of "sons" jars a little with later in the lead, when it talks about someone's brother. Maybe change "sons" to "men", and rephrase to avoid ambiguity.
 * I've reworded to avoid the garden path but I think "sons" is an important detail, given that it was their parents who commissioned Lutyens.
 * "..from the Doulting Stone Quarry in nearby Doulting.." Probably no need for the repetition of Doulting; maybe just "..from the stone quarry in nearby Doulting.."
 * Done.
 * "..for his war war memorials.." Remove repetition of "war".
 * Done.
 * "Mells is the most intricate of three of Lutyens' civic war memorials featuring.." Feels a bit clunky, how about "Mells is the most intricate of Lutyens' three civic war memorials featuring..."
 * You're the second person to query this so I've rewritten that passage. Let me know what you think.
 * Thank you very much for the comments, and for the keen eye, ! HJ Mitchell  | Penny for your thoughts?  16:29, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Support, nothing more to quibble from me, good work. Harrias  talk 16:38, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

Comments This is a very interesting, and very moving, article. I have the following minor comments: Support My comments are now addressed - thanks for the very quick response. Nick-D (talk) 06:40, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * "Lutyens also accompanied the family in placing a memorial," - this wording is a bit unclear. Can a more specific word than 'accompanied' be used?
 * It just means he was there (he and Lady Horner were apparently quite close friends), but on reflection I'm not sure it's a necessary detail so I've written it out.
 * The article implies that the Horner family essentially commissioned the memorial - is this correct, or was it commissioned by the local council or similar?
 * They certainly made the introduction and led the whole process. Even in the early 20th century the manor still dominated village life so it's entirely possible that they took things into their own hands. There was some public consultation (as detailed in the article) but if the council or some formal committee was involved, the sources don't mention it.
 * Fair enough Nick-D (talk) 06:40, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * When was the memorial to the Second World War added? Nick-D (talk) 05:27, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * We don't know. This is something I've found in many of my memorial articles—it seems nobody seems to have thought to record the details of the WWII additions to WWI memorials. Thanks very much for reading, Nick! Glad you found it interesting. HJ Mitchell  | Penny for your thoughts?  06:20, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * That's interesting - the heritage listings for comparable Australian memorials tend to have these kinds of details. I guess we have a lot less heritage to research and record though!

 * Image review
 * Three images. All have appropriate licences.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  19:41, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * "the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing on the Somme" This sounds odd to me, as I'm used to the Somme being a department (although Wikipedi informs me it was abolished in a reorganisation in 2016) and I'd normally say "in the Somme". Would "of the Somme" be better?
 * I've always thought of it as an area, not just an administrative unit, along the lines of, say, Salisbury Plain, but "of" works just as well.
 * Oh. I though Salisbury Plain was an Army base, like Puckapunyal.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  21:45, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Surprised that Lady Frances Horner doesn't have an article, given that she has an ODNB entry. And what do you mean by "originally a 16th-century manor house in the centre of the village"? Has it been converted into a pub?
 * Note that I was also initially confused by this; but the subsequent sentence (and the article) helped to clarify that it was originally a 16th century manor house that was demolished, and then rebuilt by Lutyens in the 20th century. But given that it threw us both, it might be worth seeing if it can be reworded to make it easier to follow in the article? Harrias  talk 19:51, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Does dating originally from the 16th century work better? And if it makes you feel better it's not a gender thing this time—Sir John doesn't have an article either. Both are clearly notable though. HJ Mitchell  | Penny for your thoughts?  20:31, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Is the Kensington School of Art the Kensington School of Art in London?
 * I think so, but art schools are not m speciality. I've created a redirect though.
 * Why are only 14 villagers listed if 21 died?
 * I wondered this as well. My best guess is it includes later DOWs, or the criteria were changed (as happened in several places), for example to include sons who had moved away but whose parents still lived in the village, or men shot for cowardice weren't originally included (again not that uncommon). But I can't source any of that, it's just conjecture.
 * The motif of St George fighting the dragon is very common in Australia, because Sunday 25 April 1915 was the Sunday after St George's Day.
 * At the local church in Melbourne that I used to attend, not only was there a painting of St George standing over the dead dragon like a British 19th century big game hunter with the legend "Gallipoli 1915", but the stained glass windows depicted Christ's disciples in AIF uniforms with slouch hats.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  21:25, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
 * He's not very common in modern British art. One of the most prominent examples on a war memorial is Newcastle (upon Tyne, not New South Wales ;) ), which doesn't have an article. Yet. HJ Mitchell  | Penny for your thoughts?  21:36, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Why do we need a footnote in the See Also section?
 * We don't really; it was added by another editor and I kept it because it seems harmless at worst, but if you think it should go it can.
 * Hawkeye7  (discuss)  19:41, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

A precursor cell is also known as a progenitor cell. These cells are known as the intermediate cell before they become differentiated after being a stem cell.

Precursor cells, or Progenitor cells, have many potential uses in medicine. There is research being done to use these cells to build heart valves, blood vessels and other tissues, by using blood and muscle precursor, or progenitor cells.

Precursor is a somewhat generic term. There are many forms of precursor cells, because every cell made there is a precursor to that cell.

 * AC : Alternating current. Consists of a periodic oscillation between two different voltages.  Usually said to look like a sine wave, but is not always.

 * AM : Amplitude modulation. In radio communications, a signal controls the amplitude of a carrier wave that is at a much higher, constant frequency.  The carrier wave is filtered out and a loudspeaker plays based on the amplitude of the signal.

 * Ampere, Amp (A) : The SI unit for current I. Equals a coulomb (1 C) of charged particles moving past a point in one second (1 s).
 * $$A = \frac{C}{s}$$

 * Amplify : To increase the strength of the signal.

 * Anode : An electron collector. Means up the path from a negative to a positive voltage.  An anode has a more positive voltage relative to some other place.

Evaluate an article
Organic farming

I chose this article because it is something prevalent being discussed in our class with Pollans videos and readings. The lead to this article does include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the articles topic. The lead includes a brief description of the articles major sections however the lead does not include information that is not present in the article. The lead is concise and right to the point.

The article's content is relevant to the topic and the content is up-to-date. Everything is relevent and no sections appear missing.

The article is neutral. There is no claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position. No viewpoint seems underrepresented. The article does not attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another.

All the facts in the article seem backed up by a reliable secondary source of information. The sources do reflect the available literature on the topic. Some of the sources are older and some are current, there is tons of sources since it is a large article. The links do work.

The article is well-written and easy to read. I dont see any grammatical or spelling errors. The article seems well-organized and broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic

The article includes images that enhance understanding of the topic. The images are well-captioned with explanations of exactly what they are. The images seem to adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations and are laid out in a visually appealing way.

The article appears extremely accurate throughout the whole thing. It doesn't appear to have been used for a WikiProject. The way Wikipedia discusses this is a lot about methods and the labor behind it while in class we really discussed the health benefits.

Overall the article looks really good. It’s strengths are its structure and the way it hits on multiple topics. The article's completeness is great and is well-developed.

Untitled
Radu´s signing happened two days before the NHL-KHL meeting, so I am not sure how this is a direct violation of the agreement —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:31, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

 * If you follow the citations, the articles state that the agreement was made on Thursday, July 10 and the signing was announced on Friday, July 11. Unless you can prove otherwise, it is a direct violation. Orlandkurtenbach (talk) 07:35, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

 * The KHL is arguing that Radulov's contract was ratified on July 5, five days prior the agreement, so I have incorporated that into the article. Orlandkurtenbach (talk) 08:08, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Now the NHLPA says that there was no agreement on July 10 at all. Medvedev actually said that the NHL has not signed any document yet. In this case whatever the IIHF says is probably no more than shaking the air. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:36, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Phraates V/GA2

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

Reviewer: Amitchell125 (talk · contribs) 06:34, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Happy to review another king! Amitchell125 (talk) 06:34, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Assessment
Sorry for the delay, HistoryofIran. Now I've had a look at the article, I can tell there's a small amount of copy-editing to do, which I will specify. I'll check that and the other criteria this evening and tomorrow. Amitchell125 (talk) 17:35, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Lead section

 * Why are the dates in Kia and Daryaee for Phraates' reign not the same as the dates in the article? I'm confused.
 * Copy-edit with whom he co-ruled with - 'who ruled with him'; to break out with the Roman Empire over the supremacy of Armenia and Mesopotamia - 'to break out between the Arsacid and  Roman empires over the control of Armenia and Mesopotamia'; into the east in order to invade Iran - 'to invade Iran'; the two sides ultimately decided to make a peace treaty in 1 CE - 'in 1 CE the two sides agreed a peace treaty'; as in the Roman sphere - 'as being in the Roman sphere'; were slain - 'were both executed'.

Name

 * Replace 'the diminutive Phraataces' with 'the diminutive version of his name, Phraataces'.
 * Copy-edit from Old Iranian - 'from the Old Iranian'; to prevent a potential dynastic strife over succession of the throne - 'to prevent conflict over his succession'.
 * Remove 'continued'.

Reign

 * The second image - is it relevant for the article?
 * Amend the link for Caesar to Caesar (title).
 * Is it known how old Phraates V was when he became king?
 * His father's regnal dates are not in the main text.
 * Augustus' regnal dates are not in the main text.
 * in a generally haughty tone… - Give the name of the author the quote (presumably from Cassius Dio).
 * Copy-edit as equals - 'as its equal'; to prevent a potential dynastic strife over succession of the throne - 'to prevent conflict over his succession'	remove 'continued'; over rulership - 'over the rulership'; the two regions - 'both regions'; his brothers - 'the king's brothers'; sent a mocking response by a letter - 'wrote a mocking response'; Augustus also demanded Phraates to relinquish the crown - 'He demanded that Phraates  relinquish his crown '; It was of high importance for Phraates V to be - 'It was  important to Phraates V that he was'.
 * Replace By no means being frightened with 'unintimidated'.
 * Remove 'Furthermore'.

Other comments
I think the article would benefit from a background section - clearly, nothing in known of Phraates' life before he and his mother came to rule the empire, but he lived during his father's reign and a background section could summarise this. Amitchell125 (talk) 19:47, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Yep - I expanded the article a bit and created a background section, what do you think? --HistoryofIran (talk) 18:59, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
 * What you've done is OK, but there's not much more added - I would settle for something about his father's murderous nature (see here), and the fact that there the sources for the period provide no information about Phraates V prior to his accession. I'm happy to pass the article once something else is added to the Background. Regards,  Amitchell125 (talk) 19:37, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
 * According to the Encyclopedia of the Roman Empire, Phraates V was initially considered illegitimate. Worth adding? Amitchell125 (talk) 19:50, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not too keen on using that source, it's seems quite low quality. According to Augustan Rome 44 BC to AD 14, Phraataces was still considered illegimate regardless. Anyways, I'll tro to expand both the reign and background section in a bit. --HistoryofIran (talk) 19:54, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, thanks for trying, HistoryofIran. Amitchell125 (talk) 19:57, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

On hold
I'm putting the article on hold for a week - it shouldn't take too long to sort out the issues listed above. Amitchell125 (talk) 19:58, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Diffuse midline glioma

Diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27-altered (DMG) is a fatal tumour that arises in midline structures of the brain, most commonly the brainstem, thalamus and spinal cord. When located in the pons it is also known as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).

DMG is believed to be caused by genetic mutations that cause epigenetic changes in cells of the developing nervous system, resulting in a failure of the cells to properly differentiate. Currently, the standard of care is fractionated external beam radiotherapy, as the tumour location precludes surgery and chemotherapy has shown to be ineffective. However, the estimated survival post-diagnosis remains only 9–15 months. DMGs primarily affect children, the median age of diagnosis is around 6-7 years old.

Current understanding has shown several genes are involved in the pathology of the glioma. The pathology is resistant to treatment suggesting a major driver is that cellular apoptosis mechanisms are disabled.

Diagnosis
Like most brainstem tumors, diagnosing diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma usually involves non-invasive brain imaging like MRI, in addition to neurologic physical exam. Biopsies and other procedures are very uncommon. Similar to DIPG, diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) often fall into similar categories for both diagnosis and treatment as DIPG and are often categorized together. More recently, biopsies are performed so that the best option for clinical trials can be chosen.

In studies resulting from the DIPG/DMG Registry and in connection with the DIPG/DMG Collaborative, statistics reveal that approximately 150–300 patients are diagnosed with DIPG in the USA per year, the median age of patients with DIPG is approximately 6–7 years old, and the male/female ratio of DIPG patients is 1:1.

Treatment
The standard treatment for DIPG is 6 weeks of radiation therapy, which often dramatically improves symptoms. However, symptoms usually recur after 6 to 9 months and progress rapidly.

Neurosurgery
Surgery to attempt tumour removal is usually not possible or advisable for DIPG. By nature, these tumors invade diffusely throughout the brain stem, growing between normal nerve cells. Aggressive surgery would cause severe damage to neural structures vital for arm and leg movement, eye movement, swallowing, breathing, and even consciousness.

A neurosurgically performed brainstem biopsy for immunotyping of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma has served a limited recent role in experimental clinical studies and treatment trials. This, however, is not the current standard of care, as it presents considerable risk given the biopsy location, and thus is appropriately performed only in the context of participation in an ongoing clinical treatment trial.

Pontine biopsy is in no way a therapeutic or curative surgery, and the risks (potentially catastrophic and fatal) are only outweighed when the diagnosis is uncertain (extremely unusual) or the patient is enrolled in an approved clinical trial.

Radiotherapy
Conventional radiotherapy, limited to the involved area of tumour, is the mainstay of treatment for DIPG. A total radiation dosage ranging from 5400 to 6000 cGy, administered in daily fractions of 150 to 200 cGy over 6 weeks, is standard. Hyperfractionated (twice-daily) radiotherapy was used previously to deliver higher radiation dosages, but did not lead to improved survival. Radiosurgery (e.g., gamma knife or cyberknife) has a role in the treatment of DIPG and may be considered in selected cases.

Chemotherapy and other drug therapies
The role of chemotherapy in DIPG remains unclear. Studies have shown little improvement in survival, although efforts (see below) through the Children's Oncology Group (COG), Paediatric Brain Tumour Consortium (PBTC), and others are underway to explore further the use of chemotherapy and other drugs. Drugs that increase the effect of radiotherapy (radiosensitizers) have shown no added benefit, but promising new agents are under investigation. Immunotherapy with beta-interferon and immune checkpoint inhibitors has also had little effect in trials. Neoepitope specific peptide vaccines targeting the clonal driver mutation H3 K27M have been shown to elicit cytotoxic T-cell and T-helper cell responses in patients with diffuse midline glioma. Intensive or high-dose chemotherapy with autologous bone marrow transplantation or peripheral blood stem cell rescue has not demonstrated any effectiveness in brain stem gliomas. Future clinical trials may involve medicines designed to interfere with cellular pathways (signal transfer inhibitors), or other approaches that alter the tumor or its environment.

Prognosis
DIPG is a terminal illness, since it has a 5-year survival rate of <1%. The median overall survival of children diagnosed with DIPG is approximately 9 months. The 1- and 2-year survival rates are approximately 30% and less than 10%, respectively. These statistics make DIPG one of the most devastating pediatric cancers. Although 75–85% of patients show some improvement in their symptoms after radiation therapy, DIPGs almost always begin to grow again (called recurrence, relapse, or progression). Clinical trials have reported that the median time between radiation therapy and progression is 5–8.8 months. Patients whose tumors begin to grow again may be eligible for experimental treatment through clinical trials to try to slow or stop the growth of the tumor. However, clinical trials have not shown any significant benefit from experimental DIPG therapies so far.

For DIPGs that progress, they usually grow quickly and affect important parts of the brain. The median time from tumor progression to death is usually very short, between 1 and 4.5 months. During this time, doctors focus on palliative care: controlling symptoms and making the patient as comfortable as possible.

Research
As is the case with most brain tumors, a major difficulty in treating DIPG is overcoming the blood–brain barrier.

In the brain – unlike in other areas of the body, where substances can pass freely from the blood into the tissue – there is very little space between the cells lining the blood vessels. Thus, the movement of substances into the brain is significantly limited. This barrier is formed by the lining cells of the vessels as well as by projections from nearby astrocytes. These two types of cells are knitted together by proteins to form what are called "tight junctions". The entire structure is called the blood–brain barrier (BBB). It prevents chemicals, toxins, bacteria, and other substances from getting into the brain, and thus serves a continuous protective function. However, with diseases such as brain tumors, the BBB can also prevent diagnostic and therapeutic agents from reaching their target.

Researchers and clinicians have tried several methods to overcome the blood–brain barrier:
 * Intrathecal/intraventricular administration: Chemotherapy is injected directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, either through a lumbar puncture or a surgically implanted catheter.
 * Intracerebral implants: A neurosurgeon creates a cavity within a tumor to allow the placement of dime-sized chemotherapy wafers, such as Gliadel wafers. Several of these wafers can be placed at the time of surgery and will release the chemotherapy agent carmustine slowly over time. This provides a much higher concentration of chemotherapy in the brain than can be obtained with intravenous administration, and it causes fewer systemic side effects. However, it is an option only for patients with surgically resectable tumours; it cannot be used to treat DIPG.
 * Osmotic blood–brain barrier disruption (BBBD): The cells of the blood–brain barrier are shrunk by a concentrated sugar solution (mannitol). This opens the barrier and allows 10 to 100 times more chemotherapy to enter the brain. A catheter is placed into a large artery (usually the one in the groin called the femoral artery) and threaded up to the carotid or vertebral artery. The hypertonic mannitol is injected, followed by a chemotherapeutic agent. Patients spend a few days in the hospital for each administration. This has been attempted with DIPG tumours.
 * Convection-enhanced delivery: Chemotherapy is delivered to the tumour by a surgically implanted catheter under a pressure gradient to achieve more distribution than with diffusion alone. Limited experiments have been conducted with brain tumors, including one with a DIPG.
 * Drug carriers: Carriers such as "Trojan horse" molecules, liposomes, and nanoparticles might theoretically allow a therapeutic drug to enter the brain. Such tactics are mostly in the investigatory stages and are not yet clinically relevant to brain tumour treatment.

Pathology
The definitive genetic marker of a diffuse midline glioma is H3K27me3 loss. Diffuse midline gliomas have three known subtypes:
 * H3K27M: Referred to as diffuse midline glioma, H3K27 mutant.
 * EZHIP overexpressing: Referred to as wildtype H3K27 EZHIP-DMG.
 * EGFR-mutant: Referred to as diffuse midline glioma, EGFR-altered.

Prominent patients

 * Karen Armstrong (1959–1962), daughter of American astronaut Neil Armstrong and his first wife, Janet Elizabeth Shearon.
 * Elena Desserich (2000–2007), daughter of Brooke and Keith Desserich. After her passing her parents founded The Cure Starts Now Foundation, the first international DIPG/DMG charity that today has funded over $12 million in research at 114 hospitals.  Her story was also chronicled in Notes Left Behind and became a New York Times bestselling book on November 12, 2009.
 * Gabriella Miller (2003–2013), American childhood cancer awareness advocate who raised thousands of dollars for childhood cancer charities and founded Smashing Walnuts Foundation. The Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act, signed into US law in 2014, was named after her.
 * Lauren Hill (1995–2015), American freshman basketball player of Mount St. Joseph University, Cincinnati. To fulfil her wish of playing basketball for the college team for one game, the 2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game was scheduled 13 days earlier than the initially planned date and carried a brain cancer awareness message. Her efforts resulted in over $2.2 million raised for DIPG research through The Cure Starts Now Foundation.

In popular culture
Notes Left Behind, a non-fictional book published in 2009, is about a girl named Elena Desserich. Desserich left hundreds of notes to her family before she died of DIPG at age 6.

Before You Begin
As you probably already know, Greek and English use different alphabets. For this reason, you must ensure that your Internet browser can accurately render Greek lettering. If you don't, they will appear as gibberish. Below, you should see the first line of the Iliad.

 * μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος

Don't worry if you can't read the letters yet (that's the first lesson). You should see five words with a few types of accents. If you see question marks or boxes (even if you see a few Greek letters interspersed), you need to install a font which supports Polytonic Unicode Greek or upgrade your browser. If the size of the font makes reading uncomfortable for you, you may wish to adjust your browser or display settings.

Bicycles/Maintenance and Repair/Brakes/Coaster Brakes

Coaster Brakes
Coaster brakes don't need adjusting but they may need lubricating to reduce wear. They are supposed to be greased with a special high viscosity lubricant such as Sachs: "fett fur stahlbremsmantel" which is likely no longer available. So instead use a cheap, high friction grease. To take the hub apart, Torpedo and Sturmey Archer say to start on the brake lever side, but I've seen the opposite proposed.

However, you need to take apart the hub to apply grease so it's a lot easier to lubricate the brakes with heavy oil that doesn't contain anti-friction additives. Apply it via an oil filler hole in the hub (if it exists). Don't use oil with anti-friction additives such as teflon or graphite that will result in slippery brakes.

On a long downgrade of over 1000 feet (300 M) the coaster brake may overheat and the any oil in it may boil and smoke. One may try filling the hub with water to keep the brakes cool by generating steam. Make sure that all the water has boiled off by the end of your trip. Do not expect a coaster brake to perform reliably or safely in hilly terrain. It's even possible to melt metal inside the hub. Also realize that if your chain derails or breaks, your coaster brake will no longer function.

Cookbook:Blackberry

The blackberry is a small, dark purple berry.

Characteristics
Blackberries are made of many small seeded drupelets clustered around a central core. Unlike with raspberries, this core is not left behind on the plant when picking, and blackberries are solid all the way through. When ripe, the fruits are shiny and deep purple to black in color. They are very tart and produce a purple juice when crushed.

Varieties
Since blackberry plants easily hybridize, there are many cultivars with more than one species in their ancestry.
 * Dewberries (R. caesius) are smaller than blackberries and can be distinguished by the white waxy coating on the fruits, which also usually have fewer drupelets.
 * Boysenberries were bred from blackberries, loganberries, and raspberries.

Seasonality
Blackberries reach their peak in the summer, specifically July to August. In warmer climates, the season may start earlier and end later. For instance, the Californian blackberry season starts in May and ends in October.

Superstition in the UK holds that blackberries should not be picked after September 15, as the devil has claimed them and left his mark on the leaves. There is some value behind this legend, since wetter and cooler weather often allows the fruit to become infected by various molds including Botrytis. These molds can give the berries an unpleasant flavor and toxicity.

Selection and storage
It’s best to buy fresh berries when they are in-season, as they are cheaper, riper, and more flavorful. Blackberries should be dry, firm, well-shaped, dark purple to black, and shiny—they will not ripen further after picking. Avoid purchasing berries with juice stains, which may be a sign that the berries are crushed and possibly moldy. Soft, watery fruit that means the berries are overripe; dehydrated, wrinkled fruit means the berries have been stored too long.

The fresh berries do not keep long —they should be stored in the fridge and eaten within a week after purchase. Moisture will increase spoilage, so store them in a single layer if possible. For longer storage, freeze them in airtight containers for up to several months. After thawing, they will be most suitable for cooked applications since the freezing damages their structural integrity.

Use
Blackberries may be eaten raw or prepared in a variety of ways, including both sweet and savory applications. They may be made into sweet sauces and preserves, mixed into fruit salad, churned into ice cream, used as garnish, fermented into wine, cooked into sauces, and more. Baked goods such as cakes and scones may incorporate fresh or frozen blackberries—if using frozen berries, fold them into batter while still frozen.

Conleth

Saint Conleth was an Irish hermit and metalworker, also said to have been a copyist and skilled illuminator of manuscripts. He is believed to have come from the Wicklow area.

Life
While living in seclusion at Old Connell on the River Liffey in what is now Newbridge Conleth was persuaded by Saint Brigid to make sacred vessels for her convent. Conleth, Tassach of Elphin (Saint Patrick's craftsman), and Daigh (craftsman of Ciarán of Saigir) were acclaimed the "three chief artisans of Ireland" during their period. Conleth was head of the Kildare school of metal-work and penmanship. According to Brigid's biographer, Cogitosus, a community of monks grew up which, under his guidance, excelled in the making of beautiful chalices and other metal objects needed in the church, and in the writing and ornamentation of missals, gospels, and psalters. A product of Saint Conleth's metalwork for which he is noted is the crozier that he fashioned for Saint Finbarr of Termonbarry.

The Diocese of Kildare appears to have been founded around 490, by Conleth who, with the assistance of St. Bridget, then presiding over the monastery, erected the cathedral and became first bishop. Cogitosus, in his Life of Brigid, says he was invited by Brigit to become bishop of her double monastery at Kildare.

Conleth died when he was attacked by wolves in the forests of Leinster on pilgrimage to Rome on 4 May 519 and was buried nearby. In 799 his relics were transported and laid beside Brigid's in the great cathedral in Kildare. His relics were finally laid to rest in Connell in 835 to protect the inhabitants from invading Danes.

Veneration

Conleth is the patron saint of the Roman Catholic St Conleth's Parish, which includes Newbridge and the surrounding areas. Old Connell – the site of Conleth's original cell, which is now a graveyard – is within the parish limits.

Conleth's feast day is 4 May. Every year on the Sunday after St Conleth's Day a pilgrimage takes place from the parish church in Newbridge to Old Connell, about two miles outside the town.

Legacy
St. Conleth's College is located in Dublin.

His tale and community are briefly described in Sabine Baring-Gould's "A Book of Cornwall" (now in the public domain,) in which his name is spelled "Conlaeth."

St. Conleth's Park is the name of Kildare GAA's home stadium, located in Newbridge, County Kildare.

Silverstoneia flotator

Silverstoneia flotator, the rainforest rocket frog, is a terrestrial, diurnal frog found in humid lowlands of Costa Rica and Panama. It is considered to be of least concern by the IUCN. The taxonomy is in need of a review, as it may consist of a complex of several species.

This frog has been observed between 10 and 865 meters above sea level, near rocky-bottomed streams. The frog has been observed in secondary forest, so scientists infer that it may tolerate some habitat disturbance.

The female frog lays eggs in leaf litter. After the eggs hatch, the male frog carries the tadpoles streams.

The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction because of its large range, large population, and tolerance to habitat disturbance. What threat it faces comes from deforestation associated with agriculture, logging, and urbanization.

 * Answer any editing questions for personal projects.
 * Add final touches to your Wikipedia article!

Selecting your article
Before selecting the topic you will research, remember to review this guideline for selecting an article. Most important points:
 * To begin, check the available literature in your course work, class readings, or academic journals. Are there important people, things, theories, or events that aren't developed very well on Wikipedia? Search Wikipedia with a few different search terms to be sure.
 * Try to choose a "stub" or "start-class" article to expand.
 * Verify your topic's notability.
 * Search Wikipedia to see if this content already exists.
 * Make sure you have enough reliable sources to cite your contributions.
 * Work with a relevant WikiProject whenever possible.
 * If you're still stuck, check out our Choosing an Article handout for more ideas.

Tips for Wikipedia editing
To prepare: Critically evaluate an existing Wikipedia article related to the club, and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's talk page. Don't forget to add your article to the class’s course page. Reach out to Samantha for questions.
 * 1) Start small!
 * 2) Add 1–2 sentences of new information, backed up with a citation to an appropriate source, to a Wikipedia topic of your choosing.
 * 3) If you are starting a new article, write a 3–4 paragraph summary version of your article—with citations—in your Wikipedia sandbox before moving it to the live page.
 * 4) If you are improving an existing article, write a summary version reflecting the content the article will have after it's been improved, and post this along with a brief description of your plans on the article’s talk page. Once you've interacted with any common editors, and made any suggested changes, you're ready to move your edits live!
 * 5) Using your Sandboxes
 * 6) How to use a sandbox for existing articles: When you start to revise larger chunks of an existing article, it's a good idea to draft your first significant edits into a sandbox. Don't copy the whole article, just choose the small piece you want to work with. Trying to rewrite an entire article in a sandbox can be annoying to editors who work on that article. Other editors will keep making good edits or expansions to that article while it's in your sandbox, which you'll kick out if you just copy and paste! Focus on small chunks of the text you want to edit instead. It's polite to use the talk page of the article to link to your sandbox when you copy things over. That way editors can see what you're up to, and post suggestions to the talk page before you start. Once you are happy with your sandbox draft, you can place another notice on the talk page of the article with a link to the sandbox, explaining what you've done and asking for comments on it once you've added it to the main page.
 * 7) In general, the sooner you move out of a sandbox, the better. Then, watch the Talk page for your article. You may receive more feedback on your edit once it "goes live" compared to when it is in your sandbox.
 * 8) Using your Watchlist
 * 9) When you add an article to your watchlist, you also watch the corresponding Talk page, so if someone responds to your article edits on the Talk page, it will show up on your watchlist.
 * 10) Finding & Contributing Sources
 * 11) Compile a bibliography of relevant research and post it to the talk page of the article you are working on to help keep track.
 * 12) Look for news clipping, journal articles, and more.
 * 13) Help eachother!
 * 14) Begin working with classmates and other editors to polish your short starter article and fix any major issues.
 * 15) Select two articles that you will peer review and copy-edit.
 * 16) Follow through!

User:VanishedUser 390318/Installing Fedora Core

 * This article is a work in progress.

Installation of Fedora Core is through the Red Hat installer, anaconda. There are two modes of installation, text and graphical. We will walk you through the graphical mode [is text similar?] in this guide.

Before installing, you should read the release notes for your version to ensure that there are no known issues with your system and components.

At this point, we will assume that you have the ISO images burned to a CD or DVD, and that there is sufficient room hard disk for what you plan to do. If you need help with the As the process involves rebooting (several times), it is highly recommended at this point that you make a printed copy of this page for your reference.

If your BIOS does not support booting from a CD-ROM drive, you will need to make a copy of the boot disk.
 * [instructions for boot disk]

While your computer is on, insert Fedora Core disc 1. If you are prompted to "autorun" the disc, choose not to. Then reboot your system.

After the initial boot sequence, the machine will read the CD drive and display a boot: prompt. Simply press [Enter] to begin the installation.

 * The anaconda text section is from memory, and is probably incorrect.

The anaconda software will start in text mode before switching to graphical, and will ask you if you would like to check the media that you are using to install Fedora Core. It is generally preferred that you choose "OK" and have it examine all four CDs or the DVD.

You will be presented with a list of keyboard layouts before proceeding to the graphical portion of the installation. Select the appropriate layout, and then press Enter.

At this time, the X server will start up and present you with a splash screen, and then an introduction to the installer. Off to the left is a help screen that will give you information on each screen as it is presented to you. Click "Next" at this point.

The Voynich Manuscript/F5r

Transcription, comments, theories, links to do with VMs page f5r to be added here... :-)

Description:
One plant, horizontally centered, reaching only 3/4 up the page.

 * Root: five unbranched roots, mostly horizontal. Each root looks like an earthworm, light-colored with a few dark dots, with a  short and fat swelling about 4/5 of the way to the tip.

 * Stalk: straight, vertical, slightly tapered, uncolored(?).

 * Leaves: a single ring of large, lance shaped leaves, closely spaced, attached mid-stem with no stalks. The leaves curl down in a semicircle, like an umbrella, until they almost touch the stem again; their thin tips curl further into hooks. Dark overpaint.

 * Flowers: one, at tip of stem, pointing up.

 * Stalk: medium, thin, uncolored(?); extension of stem.

 * Chalix: thimble-shaped, partial dark overpaint.

 * Petals: long, hair like, drooping.

 * Core: hemispherical, like a bubble.

Two paragraphs (with 3.6 and 2.5 lines), both above the plant, left- and right-justified.

Comments:
The plant looks very strange but not impossible. The oddest details are the position of the tubers, the shape and disposition of the leaves, their curled tips, the "shaggy dog" flower.

Cookbook:Apple Tapioca

| Desserts

The combination of fruit and tapioca is agreeable to most people. Peaches and apples, either fresh or canned, are used most often for this purpose. For this recipe, the apples should be somewhat sour, as there will then be more character to the dessert. Canned or fresh peaches or canned pineapple may be used in exactly the same way as apples. If canned fruit is used, not so much sugar nor baking in the oven will be necessary.

Ingredients

 * ¾ cup pearl tapioca or ½ cup minute (instant) tapioca
 * 2 cups boiling water
 * ½ teaspoon salt
 * 6 apples
 * ½ cup brown sugar
 * 1 teaspoon cinnamon
 * 1 tablespoon butter

Procedure

 * 1) If pearl tapioca is used, soak it for 4 or 5 hours and then drain off all the water. Minute tapioca will need no soaking. Add the tapioca to the boiling water and salt.
 * 2) Cook in a double boiler until the tapioca is entirely transparent.
 * 3) Peel and core the apples. Place them in a buttered baking dish, fill each cavity with sugar and cinnamon, and place a piece of butter on top of each.
 * 4) Pour the hot tapioca over these, place in a hot oven, and bake until the apples are soft.
 * 5) Serve either hot or cold with sugar and cream.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * This recipe was copied from "Woman's Institute Library of Cookery, Vol. 4: Volume 4: Salads and Sandwiches; Cold and Frozen Desserts; Cakes, Cookies and Puddings; Pastries and Pies" found at http://www.gutenberg.net/etext06/8loc410h.htm and wikified for this cookbook.

Ray Still

Ray Still (March 12, 1920 – March 12, 2014) was an American classical oboist. He was the principal oboe of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for 40 years, from 1953 to 1993.

Early life
He was born March 12, 1920, in Elwood, Indiana, and moved to Los Angeles as a teenager. He started studying the clarinet at 14, and volunteered as an usher at Los Angeles Philharmonic concerts, where he heard the Belgian oboist Henri de Busscher, whose “singing” style inspired him to switch to the oboe at 16. His first oboe teacher was Philip Memoli, who played second oboe to de Busscher in the Los Angeles Philharmonic. From 1941-1943, Still was a member of the US Army Signal Corps Reserves and studied electrical engineering at Pacific States University. He was in the US Army from 1943 to 1946, and worked mainly in radar. Still enrolled in the Juilliard School of Music in New York in the summer of 1946 and attended for almost two years. He studied oboe at first with Bruno Labate, and later with Robert Bloom, the principal oboist for Arturo Toscanini’s NBC Symphony, even though Bloom did not teach at Juilliard.

Performing career
Still’s style of oboe playing had elements of both the more relaxed European style and the more controlled American style, with the singing tone he admired in de Busscher, Labate, and Bloom. For example, one of his students, Michael Rosenberg, has played in German orchestras, where the American style is not popular. The American style came primarily from Marcel Tabuteau, who had taught Robert Bloom at the Curtis Institute; Still said that up to the early 1970s, he was the only principal oboist in a major US orchestra who had not studied with Tabuteau. He was most flattered when reviewers compared him to great singers, as a reviewer in London did when he played oboe concerti with the Academy of London in 1985, or to great jazz musicians, as a reviewer did in a review of his recording of the Bach Wedding Cantata.

His oboe positions with professional orchestras were: Still also had an extensive career performing and recording chamber music, including at the Aspen Music Festival in Colorado, the Marlboro Festival in Vermont, and the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Ontario, Canada, which used to include a music festival. He performed and coached students at numerous other music festivals in Europe, Japan, China, Korea, and Mexico. His oboe teaching positions included: Northwestern invited him to present a series of master classes in 2010 in honor of his 90th birthday, an event that was also observed the week of his birthday on the Chicago classical music radio station WFMT. WFMT played many of his recordings and a two-hour audio documentary about his career that week.
 * Second oboe with the Kansas City Philharmonic from 1939-1941.
 * Principal oboe in the Buffalo Philharmonic under William Steinberg, 1947-1949.
 * Principal oboe with the Baltimore Symphony under Reginald Stewart and Massimo Freccia, 1949-1953.
 * In 1953 he was hired by Fritz Reiner, the recently appointed music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The position was assistant first oboe, but he moved up to principal oboe in 1954. He stayed in that position until 1993, later playing under music directors Jean Martinon from 1963 to 1968, Georg Solti from 1969 to 1991, and Daniel Barenboim from 1991 to 1993.
 * The only gap in 40 years with the Chicago Symphony came when he was fired by Martinon in May 1967. Still fought the firing, the case went to arbitration, and he was rehired seven months later.
 * Peabody Institute in Baltimore from 1949 to 1953
 * Roosevelt University in Chicago from 1954 to 1957
 * Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois; Professor of music from 1960–2003

He had many private students as well. Many of his students went on to play in major orchestras and teach at major universities around the world. His former students include Sherie Aguirre, Stephen Caplan, Ricardo Castaneda, Mark Christianson, Peter Cooper, John Dee, Marc Gordon, Michael Henoch, Yoko Kojima, Humbert Lucarelli, Patrick McFarland, Jane Marvine, Robert Morgan, Nora Post, Christopher Raphael, Michael Rosenberg, Grover Schiltz, Mark Seerup, Ian Shafer, Robert Sheena, Carl Sonik, Linda Strommen, Rudy Vrbsky, and Keisuke Wakao.

Retirement
Following his retirement from Northwestern in 2003, he moved to Annapolis, Maryland, with his beloved wife Mary and son James to live near family. He continued to give master classes and lessons there. Mary and James died in 2012. In 2013, he moved to Saxtons River and later Woodstock, Vermont, to live near family. He died in Woodstock, Vermont, on his 94th birthday (March 12, 2014), surrounded by family and listening to Bach's St. Matthew Passion.

Selected discography
He played principal oboe on almost all of the recordings by the Chicago Symphony from 1954–1993, and he played principal oboe in the opera “Samson and Delilah” recorded with the NBC Symphony under Stokowski in the early 1950s, filling in for Robert Bloom.
