oting a YouTuber directly about a third party is against WP: BLPSPS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:11, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Nothing Pakman said is stated as a fact; it is all attributed. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants   Tell me all about it.  12:21, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Sure, but it's a self-published source and it makes a claim about a third party, that's all that matters for BLP. "Never use self published sources ... as sources of material about a living person." Quote secondary press coverage of Pakman's video, if any exists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:07, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * David Pakman is a notable figure, especially with respect to the gamergate issue which spawned this group. The source cited is not used to make claims about a living person, but to make claims about what Pakman said. For that use, it's perfectly acceptable. BLP does not exempt article subjects from criticism, only from low-to-moderately-reliable criticisms stated as facts. If the section you deleted had been written "CON engaged in opposition research[18]" then your concerns would be well founded. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants   Tell me all about it.  13:14, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:BLP is absolutely crystal clear on this. Wikipedia doesn't quote self published sources (even from experts) making claims about living people, and this paragraph makes claims about members of CON. These are living people. It needs a reliable secondary source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:21, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * First off, please start signing your comments by using four tilde's ( ~ ). Sinebot is getting tired.
 * Wikipedia doesn't quote self published sources (even from experts) making claims about living people You might want to try making that argument at Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories and see how far that gets you. Again, this source is not being used to make the claim that CON did anything wrong: It is being used to make the claim that Pakman accused them of doing something that could be construed as wrong (I'm not entirely convinced that CON doing opposition research is wrong, myself). As a BLP issue, I agree that it's not a case of obvious inclusion. But as it is the only criticism of the subject to make its way to commentary by a notable figure, it would be remiss of us not to note it. Also note that it's a a blurry line whether BLP properly applies to this claim. The language used in the article doesn't identify any individuals, nor would we include a quote that did. If you check out the above section, and the archive page, you will see how the current wording is the result of a very long and active discussion. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants   Tell me all about it.  13:53, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The difference is that when it comes to Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories, we have strong secondary sources which we rely on to characterize them and establish notability - we quote them indirectly, through a better source that establishes notability, relevance, and reliability. Here, we just have a single primary source - why are we convinced that Pakman's opinion is relevant enough to devote an entire section to it?  Your argument seems to be that we must list Pakman's comments, even though they received no coverage elsewhere, because we have no other sourced criticism.  This is wrong - first, that's clear WP:FALSEBALANCE; and second, per WP:CSECTION, a criticism section is a bad way to organize critical commentary anyway.  Why are we devoting an entire section to the opinion of a single random YouTube video if we can't find any other sources referencing it?  Going out of our way to hunt down non-notable criticisms and citing them to YouTube when we can't find any other coverage is a clear WP:NPOV violation. --Aquillion (talk) 15:11, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Please read this page and the archive. All your objections are addressed there. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants   Tell me all about it.  15:16, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not seeing it. I see you asserting that Pakman's comments received significant coverage; but if they did, we should be able to cite that coverage rather than Pakman's youtube channel. It reads to me like the discussions started from the premise of "this is obviously noteworthy, so is there something - anything - we can cite for it?"  But, again, that's not how WP:NPOV works.  We need sources capable of demonstrating relevance, not one cite to a YouTube channel for an entire section. --Aquillion (talk) 15:20, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I see you asserting that Pakman's comments received significant coverage; Bullshit; I never said any such thing. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants   Tell me all about it.  15:21, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * My apologies, I misread. You asserted that amount of coverage this leak has gotten in comparison to the amount of coverage the group has gotten in total demonstrates that this is a notable aspect that deserves to be mentioned.  That's the crux here.  You're asserting "significant coverage" and arguing that, based on that, we need to highlight an opinion posted to YouTube (which you admit, itself, has received no coverage.)  Obviously a youtube video isn't "significant coverage" so - again, it's the same issue.  We can't reasonably highlight an opinion on YouTube if it received no coverage elsewhere; but if the "significant coverage" exists in reliable sources, we can use that.  If it doesn't, or if the "significant coverage" is in unreliable sources, it hardly justifies the reach of devoting an entire Criticism section to one opinion posted to YouTube.  (Now that the event is further in the past, we can do a survey of the sources on CON and compare it to the leaks - do you want to stand by your assertion that the leaks would make up a notable portion of the coverage the group has gotten?  I mean, I'm willing to use that to decide what we do, I just want to make sure you'll concede if I take the time to put in the work - I am fairly certain I can produce a decently-huge pile of reliable sources over an extended period of time that cover the group without mentioning the leaks, and reasonably certain you can't find much reliable to put on the other side of the scale, given that the best cite so far is a YouTube video.  I mean, if you can find more / better reliable sources, I'd be happy to include it with those instead.) --Aquillion (talk) 15:31, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * There were a number of "borderline" sources presented in the TP archived discussion, but they were unusable as their statements weren't jiving with either the primary sources or the public statements made by those involved in the logs (one of them was obviously an opinion piece from someone non-notable, but published by an RS). I suppose I could dig them up, but it's been so long that I suspect you'd do just as well as I in finding them. There's a metric shit-ton of unreliable coverage, but I agree that we can't use this. My rationale earlier (which you can see in the thread above on this page) was that Pakman is notable, Pakman's YT channel is an acceptable source for Pakman's own words, and (left unsaid above, but still part of my reasoning) the actual claims being quoted were not the defamatory "CON is full of hypocrites who were sneakily trying to swat noble 'gaters and get them murdered by rabid feminists!" crap that had previously been pushed. Again: I'm fine with the consensus changing from "include" to "don't include", but I worry more than a little about what sort of shit-storm that will stir up, and what that will mean for the article. Dishonest 'gaters are no stranger to WP, and SPI's take time. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants   Tell me all about it.  15:40, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

 * See WP:CRITICISM: in most cases separate "Criticism" sections can be avoided, which is, to a large extent, Wikipedia's preferred MO. I'd say that recommendation applies here, especially as the single point that might be perceived as criticism (but isn't even necessarily so), isn't even too solid in its references. --Francis Schonken (talk) 15:27, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * As I indicated at BLPN, I'm perfectly fine with nixing the additional section. As far as sourcing goes, this is acceptable use under WP:PRIMARY, as we're merely noting Pakman's own words. And of course, as you also indicated, this isn't unarguably criticism, either (though I have no doubt it was intended as such, it's not very damning). From where I sit, it boils down to "Pakman whined about CON turning the tables on harrassing 'gaters," which is something many people would likely applaud them for. I may well be one of those people. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants   Tell me all about it.  15:33, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I suppose it would be best to see first if additional, more reliable, sources emerge, per Aquillion above, before re-introducing this anywhere in the article. --Francis Schonken (talk) 15:41, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Could you guys please watchlist this page? As I indicated at BLPN, I'm not even remotely married to the idea of keeping this in, I'm just trying to "defend" a "stable" version of the page. If we're going to exclude, I'm okay with that, but I'd feel a lot better knowing that this page was on the watchlist of more thoughtful editors, for when the sock army (inevitably) strikes. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants   Tell me all about it.  15:50, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * ``>it's not very damning``
 * It's pretty damning when an "online abuse support group" engages in "online abuse". You should be able to recognize this blatant hypocrisy from them regardless of your own political leaning MPants. Keyakakushi46 (talk) 15:55, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * ^ And so my predictions come to pass... And no, it's not "online abuse" to do research, for fuck's sake. It's "online abuse" to encourage thousands of people to make death threats, it's "online abuse" to write long drawn-out emails detailing how one would enjoy raping the recipient. It's "online abuse" to swat people for daring to say "it's wrong to threaten to rape someone". ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants   Tell me all about it.  16:12, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Let's not get sidetracked, we don't need to decide what is or isn't online abuse to settle this. Personally I support the removal - if it's a notable criticism it will have been published in a reliable secondary source. Should not be in the article based on a single youtube link. Fyddlestix (talk) 16:40, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * If some 'gater (or honest editor more dedicated than I) wants to dig up an RS covering Pakman's comments, that's fine. But from where I sit, this is either "keep it in per the consensus" or "exclude it per BLP" and it looks more and more like most editors here want the latter. So aside from noting that this has helped reinforce my faith in the WP community's judgement (for the record: I opposed inclusion of mention of these "leaked" logs for a long time, and the wording in question was a compromise solution), I don't really think there's much else to do. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants   Tell me all about it.  16:53, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Not currently active
From the website: "PLEASE BE ADVISED: AS OF DECEMBER 2016, OUR HOTLINE IS TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED. Due to overwhelming need for assistance with online abuse outpacing our current resources, the hotline is temporarily suspended. This is to allow us to the time and means to focus our efforts on restructuring the organization to better meet the needs of the online community seeking our help. Our public resources and advocacy efforts will remain active while we improve the way that the helpline internally operates to provide free, reliable, and effective aid to more people than ever before. We apologize for our inability to take on additional casework in the interim, and are working fiercely to keep the downtime as short as possible." This is info that should be noted in the article. And if/when this is changed, it can be amended to say there was a time period of non-activity. It might be conidered a primary source, but I don't believe any other sources have covered it. As I'm off to get some tests done before they decide to put a defibulator inside my chest, I don't have the time right now to look. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unclethursday (talk • contribs) 16:30, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * We'll need more than a primary source before including material to the tune of 'the hotline was down from X to Y' as this isn't reproducible and consists of original research. PeterTheFourth (talk) 20:38, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Has any third-party reliable source ever mentioned the organisation had a hotline?

 * I'm fairly sure you're literate enough to see the entirety of this section, which you've already responded to in the past. But in this very section it clearly states "since December 2016" as listed on the CON page, itself.

Talk:Patrick Moore (consultant)/Archive 7

My Profession
I have recently been downgraded to a "consultant". That is a rather general appellation. It could mean nearly anything. As an academic with a PhD in Ecology and an Honorary Degree as a Doctor of Science I am an ecologist and have been for nearly 50 years. I was designated by Greenpeace as the ecologist for the first campaign against US hydrogen bomb tests in Alaska. (I can verify this) I was possibly the first person in Canada to obtain a PhD in ecology (1972). It was granted by the Institute of Resource Ecology at the University of British Columbia. As an independent ecologist, never in the direct employ of any institution, one of my main functions was and is as a public speaker at conferences and other public events. At all these venues I am free to speak my mind without any influence from my sponsors. Secondly, and now mainly retired from, I have advised government and industry on environmental science and policy. In all cases I have been free to give my best advice. I have never worked with anyone who told me what to say. In other words I am not a PR agent or "sold out" as so many of my detractors contend. So I am either an "ecologist" or I am an "environmental consultant" or perhaps an "environmental campaigner". I prefer ecologist as I am primarily a scientist. At the present time I am Chair of the CO2 Coalition based in Arlington Virginia. Our board is by invitation and it is composed of some of the top scientists, engineers, and economists in North America. What do i need to do further? Can I edit my profession myself? I am not familiar with this process. --Pmoore2222 (talk) 07:10, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Tell us what your profession is here and provide a source to support it. I don't doubt your assertions, but let me give you an example. At this webpage, you are noted as being a member of the board. That's a verifiable source that we can use to support that claim. However, it does not show that you are the chair of that board. Right now, there's no mention of the CO2 Coalition in this article. It would be nice to add, but I'd like to add it with sources to accurately support your position with that organization. In general, I'll reassert what I've said before; if there is something inaccurate in this article that is not supported by reliable, secondary sources please tell us and we will likely remove it. Understand; if it's supported by reliable, secondary sources we can't sanitize the article of such information in many cases. It might be an odd concept, but here at Wikipedia we follow the principle of Verifiability, not truth. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:40, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * As you can see from the archived thread Requested move 3 March 2019 many editors disagreed that the article title should be "Patrick Moore (environmentalist)", which I think is close to "Patrick Moore (ecologist)". As you can see from the archived thread PhD in Ecology or Forestry? there was discussion about whether the degree was in ecology, the result was "no consensus" which means the article does not state, which at least is neutral. I'm guessing that most opinions have not changed since those recent discussions. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 15:10, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi and thanks for your contributions.
 * IMO renaming the article is a lost cause. The current title is correct by Wikipedia's standards.
 * But as suggested above, provide reliable secondary sources that state that you are an "ecologist" and perhaps even "environmentalist". That information can then be added to the article. Andrewa (talk) 22:48, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Discussion on Patrick Moore and Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy
Is this the most blatantly POV article on the site, or is it me. I hardly think that an unmodified Disinfopedia article makes for a good Wiki article. It needs a serious rewrite. TDC 21:36, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * It's you ;) The article actually presents a lot of information. Please discuss before making such a big change, especially when you are deleting. I also happen to think it's an excellent article about a very interesting environmentalist, not of tree hugging ilk. In Moore's own words, he left Greenpeace and became a consultant because he was tired of the politics of confrontation. Vincent 23:53, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * With all due respect, after reading the article an individual would likely come away with the feeling that Moore has simply sold out to industry and turned into nuckle dragging fascist (well perhaps an overstatement), but you get the drift. While I do not deny that there is a great deal of information here and while I will accept at face value the statements given, the organization of these facts is very much not in line with WIKI NPOV http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_point_of_view.
 * A quick examples. One paragaph explaining Moore's views on GM foods and 5 paragraphs refuting his claims? Is this and articel on GM foods, or Patrick Moore.
 * This article is more of a hitpiece on Moore than an encyclopedia entry. I do agree that I should have talked about the changes before making them, but the article does need serious work and it has not had much activity. TDC 05:16, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)
 * I rather like Moore myself and didn't feel the original article was an attack on him, but maybe you're right after all. And of course I agree you're entitled to do a major edit, it's wiki afterall, and maybe I overreacted because it came without a warning. (OK, OK, so I'm warned now.) Cheers Vincent 05:54, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * The article was once far worse, and it's been a battle to improve it, see Talk:Patrick Moore (consultant)/Archive 3. At least now we cite his own views, rather than just Greenpeace's views on his views. Yes, seriously! Andrewa (talk) 00:54, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Co-Founder of Greenpeace
I have ample proof that Greenpeace recognized me as a co-founder on nearly all its international websites until February 2007, when I was erased. In addition Greenpeace UK still has a website up that recognizes the founders were the people who sailed on the first campaign against US H-Bomb test in Alaska in 1971. There is no contest that I was on that boat, Here is a quote from their website: "Greenpeace was founded in 1971 by a small group of concerned individuals, who set sail to Amchitka island off the coast of Alaska to try and stop a US nuclear weapons test. Their old fishing boat was called “The Greenpeace”." No doubt this is an oversight as I have been erased everywhere else. https://www.greenpeace.org.uk/about-greenpeace/ I would like to share the archival screenshots I have taken over the year to prove to you that the removal of my name from the founders is historical revisionism. What should I do? When I try to upload images it says I must own the copyright. How cam one own the copyright to web pages from the WayBack Machine? --Pmoore2222 (talk) 07:28, 5 January 2020 (UTC) As you can see from the archived thread Semi-protected edit request on 18 March 2019 there was no agreement whether to state or deny that Patrick Moore was a founder or co-founder. In a later thread (October 2019) Greenpeace's description of Moore being in the lede In a later thread Semi-protected edit request: Updated discussion starting 11th July 2019 at least three editors (versus one) apparently supported the insertion of ("Moore describes himself as a founding member of Greenpeace,[23] but the organization denies this claim.[24]"). Peter Gulutzan (talk) 15:27, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, the https://www.greenpeace.org.uk/about-greenpeace/ link does not mention your name. So, it can't be used (by itself) to verify this status. Understand; I'm not saying you're not a founder. The simple fact is that at Wikipedia with biographies of living people we need to be able to verify contested claims. I'm sure you can understand the logic of this; if we didn't insist on this, then anyone could put anything on an article and simply declare it's true, and we'd have no way of contesting it. This works both ways; in this case, without a verifiable source to support you being a founder of Greenpeace, we can't add it into the article. But it also means that if there is something in the article that you know is wrong and it is not supported by a reliable source, then we can remove it. So, a good starting point might be for you to look over the article and find assertions about you that you know are false and are not supported by such sources.
 * The contents of the Wayback Machine are, by and large, copyrighted to the respective agencies that created the content in the first place. A screenshot uploaded here would not be acceptable. However, if you have a direct link to a webpage on the Wayback Machine that shows you as a founder of Greenpeace, by all means please post it here! We can use that as a source. It's a primary source, and we prefer secondary sources, but we can and do use primary sources. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:26, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Screenshots are probably not acceptable, but the URLs can certainly be used, and some limited use of primary sources is acceptable. The article already documents that you were a crewmember on the 1971 voyage of the Phyllis Cormack. The facts that you were listed on the crew list as one of the three representing Greenpeace on that occasion, and that Greenpeace once described this voyage as ...our founders set sail..., can be supported from primary sources such as the independent archive of their website IMO. But strictly, to claim on the basis of these facts that Greenpeace once described you as a founder might be interpretation, and therefore original research. In most of Wikipedia it would probably be accepted as a trivial piece of logic, but this is a problematical article.

I'd suggest that "Moore describes himself as a founding member of Greenpeace, as has the organisation itself in the past, but it has since denied this claim" would be the most informative and accurate. But to be encyclopedic it needs to be backed up by references of course. And secondary sources will be a lot harder to challenge.

Is there a better wording? And/or, can this be sourced? Andrewa (talk) 18:16, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Attacks on Greta Thunberg
Is this single sentence really worthy of being a subsection? It seems odd to classify this as one of his "views" on par with energy, climate change, and GMOs. Bueller 007 (talk) 00:04, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Global climate change denial
The cited article does not show "extreme" or irreversible damage. It makes no such claims at all. Therefore, I am removing that language for going against WP:NPOV and being unjustified. -- Doctorx0079 (talk) 14:20, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, that's obviously wrong: e.g., a direct quote is "Climate change is likely to lead to some irreversible impacts." Try again? --JBL (talk) 21:20, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Faisalabad District

Faisalabad District (Lyallpur District until 1979) (Punjabi and ) is one of the districts of Punjab province, Pakistan. According to the 1998 census of Pakistan it had a population of 3,029,547 of which almost 42% were in Faisalabad City. It is the third largest city of Pakistan after Karachi and Lahore.

After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, the Muslim refugees from Eastern Punjab and Haryana settled in the Faisalabad District. It initially lacked industry, hospitals and universities. Since independence, there has been industrial growth, and the city's population is continually growing. Notable industry in the district include but not limited to Textile (spinning, weaving, printing, dying, stitching), Chemicals (acids, caustics, industrial gases, potash, chlorides, etc.), consumer goods (soaps, vegetable oil, detergents), Engineering (light electrical equipment, engineering goods), Metals & Metallurgy (steels, alloys) and Power (power equipment, power production).

Initially a part of Jhang District, it gained the status of a separate district in 1904. In 1982 Toba Tek Singh District (until then a Tehsil of Faisalabad District) was created as a separate district from Faisalabad. , it is a City-District consisting of the city of Faisalabad and its surrounding areas.

Administrative divisions
Faisalabad District is part of Faisalabad Division.

In 2005 Faisalabad was reorganized as a City-District. It comprises six Tehsils.

 * 1) Chak Jhumra
 * 2) Faisalabad City
 * 3) Faisalabad Sadar
 * 4) Jaranwala
 * 5) Samundri
 * 6) Tandlianwala

One question
Why is it that poſseſs is written as such, and not as poſſeſs, and also why is successful written ſucceſsful and not ſucceſſful? Is it so that when ss is present, only the first one is substituted with an ſ and the other one left intact? --BiT 04:28, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Often, yes (hence the eszett: ſs → ß & ſz → ß — hence the name Eszett — “ess-zed”). However, I have also seen ‘ss’ written as ‘ſſ’ and ‘st’ often becomes ‘ﬆ’ instead of ‘ﬅ’. †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 13:36, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I've have yet to see the use of ſs in any documents I've come across. A book I've read, An Experimental Inquiry into the Properties of Blood by William Hewson in 1764, makes excessive use of the ſſ combination. Notably in words like profeſſor and Veſſels. I am not, of course, stating that ſs is absolutely dubious, but until I, or we, can find sources stating the preferred use of ſs over ſſ, I would consider the claimed preference incorrect. William Hewson was undoubtedly an educated man, so his use isn't due to any faux pas. I hope to see this matter resolved quickly and I thank anyone ahead of time who looks into this. Ásmóðr Vánagandsson (talk) 11:53, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

 * a) Over time there were different ways of using ſ and s. b) In the quote it's actually "poſſeſs" & "ſucceſsful". Most likely it's usually s at the end of words and ſ elsewhere (e.g. poſſeſs), but in some way extended to compounds (e.g. ſucceſsful = ſucceſs+ful).

husband / houſewife

 * Three quotations at use alehouſe//houſewivery/houſe-wives but husband/husbandman/husbandry. What could be the reason (that would be added as a usage note)? J3133 (talk) 15:11, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Perhaps they still perceived husband as a compound word, or perhaps it's just because ſ would either aesthetically or physically (in terms of the piece used to print the letter) clash with the ascender of b. If we can find sources discussing that (I suspect we can, and it's also a reason some works use ſs and not ſſ), that would indeed be good to add. Another thing we're missing is that some (old) works use ſ everywhere, uniformly, even at the end of words. I'm more familiar with that practice outside of English, but I did encounter it just recently in an older English heraldic work; I'll have to see if I can relocate it.

List of astronomy websites

This is a list astronomy websites. Some of them are CalSky, Exoplanet Archive, Exoplanet Data Explorer, Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia, Universe Today, Space.com and Galaxy Zoo. Out of all these Exoplanet Archive is managed by NASA. These websites provide knowledge about exoplanets, eclipses, tides, comets, stars, galaxy and other topics about astronomy. These websites also serve as a knowledge sharing platform for astronomy students and astronomers.

Astronomia.pl
Astronomia.pl was a Polish web portal for astronomy and space research. It was founded in 2001 and was active until 2015. While active, it was the largest astronomy and space portal in Poland, hosting over 3000 articles at its prime.

CalSky
CalSky (sky calendar) was web based astronomical calculator used by astronomers to plan observing. It was created by Arnold Barmettler a researcher at the University of Zurich and formerly a scientific assistant at the European Space Agency. The website, available in English and German, featured a calendar (and/or email notifications) generated for your location including information on aurora, comets, tides, solar and lunar eclipses, planets, bright satellite passes (ISS, HST, etc.), occultations, transits, iridium flares, and decaying satellites that may be visible. In 2020, the website ceased operation.

Exoplanet Archive
The NASA Exoplanet Archive is an online astronomical exoplanet catalog and data service that collects and serves public data that support the search for and characterization of extra-solar planets (exoplanets) and their host stars. It is part of the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center (IPAC) and is on the campus of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, CA. The archive is funded by NASA and was launched in early December 2011 by the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute (NExScI) as part of NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program.

Exoplanet Data Explorer
The Exoplanet Data Explorer lists extrasolar planets up to 24 Jupiter masses.

Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia
The Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia is an astronomy website, founded in Paris, France at the Meudon Observatory by Jean Schneider in February 1995, which maintains a database of all the currently known and candidate extrasolar planets, with individual "note" pages for each planet and a full list interactive catalog spreadsheet. The main catalogue comprises databases of all of the currently confirmed extrasolar planets as well as a database of unconfirmed planet detections. The databases are frequently updated with new data from peer-reviewed publications and conferences.

Galaxy Zoo
Galaxy Zoo is an online astronomy project which invites members of the public to assist in the morphological classification of large numbers of galaxies. It is an example of citizen science as it enlists the help of members of the public to help in scientific research. An improved version—Galaxy Zoo 2—went live on 17 February 2009. The current iteration of the project, launched in April 2010, is Galaxy Zoo: Hubble, and uses Hubble Space Telescope survey data. It is part of the Universe group of citizen science projects.

Space.com
Space.com is a space and astronomy news website. Its stories are often syndicated to other media outlets, including CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo!, and USA Today. Space.com was founded by former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs and Rich Zahradnik, in July 1999. At that time, Dobbs owned a sizeable share of the company, and, in an unexpected move, left CNN later that year to become Space.com's chief executive officer.

SPACETV.net
SPACETV is a non-commercial video-based news site and news aggregator dedicated to space and astronomy, founded in The Netherlands in 2014 and run by volunteers from around the world. SPACETV has a comprehensive A-Z of space topics called "Channels" and a live stream calendar of events including rocket launches and educational lectures.

Telescopius
Telescopius is a web application with multiple tools, from a 15,000+ deep sky objects database and search, to a telescope simulator, astrophotography mosaic planner, and a social network for astrophotographers.

Universe Today
Universe Today (UT) is a non-commercial space and astronomy news site, founded in 1999 by Fraser Cain and edited by Nancy Atkinson. The news can then be discussed on the forums. The forum began on 24 July 2003, and was mainly used to discuss the Universe Today news as well as ask space-related questions and discuss alternate theories. In early September 2005, the forum merged with that of Bad Astronomy combined to form the BAUT forum. The website's viewership attains several million people per year.

Emily Lakdawalla, of The Planetary Society, said that she relies on Universe Today and Bad Astronomy to "give ... an independent look at big news stories" and that UT plays a key role in space-related journalism, along with other websites such as Space.com. Several peer-reviewed papers have mentioned Universe Today as being a space-related news website.

In 2008 the site was briefly banned for about a day from Digg.com, and then unbanned. In March 2011, Businessweek reported that the site had lost 20 percent of its traffic in five days after a change in the page ranking algorithm of Google. In April 2011, the Association of British Science Writers noted that Universe Today decided to ignore embargoed stories.

General Chemistry/Chemical Equilibria/Acid-Base Equilibrium

Consider an acid, HA, in water. According to the Brønsted-Lowry acid/base theory, the acid should protonate the water to form hydronium and the conjugate base, A-. There will be an equilibrium between the acid and water, and hydronium and the conjugate base.

$$\hbox{HA} + \hbox{H}_2\hbox{O} \leftrightarrow \hbox{H}_3\hbox{O}^+ + \hbox{A}^-$$

This equilibrium can be used to calculate the concentrations of species in the solution.

Acid Dissociation Constant
Like all equilibria, an acid/base dissociation will have a particular equilibrium constant which will determine the extent of the reaction (whether it lies to the left or right of the equation). As the equilibrium constant approaches zero, the reaction tends to form 100% reactants. As the equilibrium constant approaches infinity, the reaction tends to form 100% products. The equilibrium constant K=1 states that there will be 50% products and 50% reactants

Because the equilibrium is used for calculating the concentrations of weak acids, very little water actually reacts. The concentration of water during the reaction is, therefore, a constant, and can be excluded from the expression for K. This gives rise to a special equilibrium constant, Ka, known as the acid dissociation constant. It is simply K multiplied by the concentration of water.

$$K_a = \hbox{K}[\hbox{H}_2\hbox{O}] = \frac{[\hbox{H}_3\hbox{O}^+][\hbox{A}^-]}{[\hbox{HA}]}$$

The Ka of a weak acid determines how acidic it is, i.e., how far its equilibrium lies to the right. The Ka values of weak acids can and have been determined experimentally.

Base Dissociation Constant
A similar equilibrium exists when a weak base is dissolved in water. The base will accept a proton from water and form a conjugate acid, BH+.

$$\hbox{B} + \hbox{H}_2\hbox{O} \leftrightarrow \hbox{OH}^- + \hbox{BH}^+$$

This equilibrium has its own special constant, Kb, known as the base dissociation constant. Like the acid dissociation constant, it is defined as the equilibrium constant multiplied by the concentration of water.

$$K_b = K[\hbox{H}_2\hbox{O}] = \frac{[\hbox{BH}^+][\hbox{OH}^-]}{[\hbox{B}]}$$

Ion Product Constant
A special equilibrium exists between ordinary water molecules. Occasionally, one water molecule will act as an acid, and donate a proton to another water molecule (which acts as a base). This is the auto-ionization of water.

$$\hbox{H}_2\hbox{O} + \hbox{H}_2\hbox{O} \leftrightarrow \hbox{H}_3\hbox{O}^+ + \hbox{OH}^-$$

By the Le Chatelier Principle, we can see that if the hydronium ion concentration is increased (by adding an acid), the equilibrium will move to the left and there will be a lower concentration of hydroxide. Thus, hydronium and hydroxide concentration are inversely related—an increase in one will result in a decrease in the other, and vice versa.

The equilibrium expression for this reaction is given a special name, Kw. Because it simplifies to the product of hydronium and hydroxide concentration, it is sometimes called the ion product constant. The value of this constant is 1.0 × 10-14 at 25°C.

$$K_w = [\hbox{H}_3\hbox{O}^+][\hbox{OH}^-] = 1.0 \times 10^{-14}$$

This expression can be used to find the pH of pure water. Recall that pH is the negative logarithm of hydronium ion concentration. If we set the hydronium ion concentration in the above expression to be $$x$$, we can derive the pH. The hydroxide ion concentration must also be $$x$$ (since each molecule of hydroxide is a result of a molecule of hydronium forming). We have:

$$\begin{matrix}x^2 &=& 1.0 \times 10^{-14} \\ x &=& \sqrt{1.0 \times 10^{-14}} \\ x &=& 1.0 \times 10^{-7} \\ \hbox{pH} &=& -\log{1.0 \times 10^{-7}} \\ \hbox{pH} &=& 7.0\end{matrix}$$

This technique can be used to determine the pH of any solution if either one of the ion concentrations are known.

Conjugate Base Expressions
The conjugate bases of weak acids have a relationship with their parent acids. Consider the equilibrium expression of the conjugate base, A-, of the weak acid HA.

$$K_b = {\frac{[\hbox{HA}][\hbox{OH}^-]}{\hbox{A}^-}}$$

If we multiply the expression for an acid by the expression for its conjugate base, the concentrations of the acid and conjugate base cancel and we obtain the ion product constant for water! This allows us to calculate the Kb of a base if the Ka of its conjugate acid is known (and vice versa).

$$\begin{matrix} \frac{[\hbox{H}_3\hbox{O}^+][\hbox{A}^-]}{[\hbox{HA}]} &\times& \frac{[\hbox{HA}][\hbox{OH}^-]}{[\hbox {A}^-]} &=& [\hbox{H}_3\hbox{O}^+][\hbox{OH}^-] \\ K_a &\times& K_b &=& K_w \\ \end{matrix}$$

Summary
The definitions of the acid and base dissociation constants are very important. They are presented here for reference.

Johnny Foreigner vs Everything

Johnny Foreigner vs Everything is the third studio album by British indie rock band Johnny Foreigner. It was released on CD and MP3 on 5 December 2011 through Alcopop! Records, and on Double Vinyl LP in Summer 2012. The record marked their first studio album to be released without the aid of a Grammy-nominated producer (Machine producing their first record, Alex Newport producing their second); as well as their first studio album not released on Best Before Records. The album cover, as with their other albums, features drawings by Lewes Herriot.

The album was assigned a Metacritic rating of 66, indicating "generally favourable reviews". Some controversy arose when the NME website chose a writer who had already had disagreements with the band's lead singer Alexei to review the album. This writer gave the album a highly negative review and a score of 3.0/10. This was responded to with a backlash by fans and readers alike, who together used the NME's album rating system to give the album a score of 9.4/10.

The double vinyl version of the album adds the Certain Songs are Cursed EP—minus the original mix of "What Drummers Get"—and two original songs from the (Don't) Show Us Your Fangs and You vs Everything singles.

Cougar (MRAP)

The Cougar is a mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) and infantry mobility vehicle structured to be resistant to landmines and improvised munitions.

It is a family of armored vehicles produced by Force Protection Inc, which manufactures ballistic and mine-protected vehicles. The vehicles are integrated by Spartan Motors. These vehicles are protected against small arms, land mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) using a combination of design features and materials to protect both the crew and engine compartment against a wide range of attacks. A monocoque type, V-shaped hull extends to the engine bay and serves to direct the blast away from under the vehicle. The dual air-conditioners help keep heavily dressed troops from overheating in temperatures over 100 F in Iraq.

Development
Force Protection, Inc. was formed in 2002 when Sonic Jet purchased Technical Solutions Group, using the name Sonic Jet until 2004. Technical Solutions Group had been a defense company in the US that was involved in a range of products, including mine-resistant vehicles based on South African designs. Two vehicles were sold to the US Army for evaluation which were used for ordnance clearance on Army ranges, and eight heavily protected vehicles, called Tempest, were sold to the British Army in 2001; these were fitted with an extra ceramic armored bellyplate for protection against Russian TMRP-6 "tank-killer" mines intended to attack the center of a vehicle.

In early 2004 the United States Marine Corps (USMC) visited Force Protection and, having seen a photo-montage of a new design of MRAP on a company brochure, asked if it could be produced and delivered within 6 months of an order for operations in Iraq. The photo was a still only concept image, but a senior person in the company offered to design, develop and build a new vehicle, that met the USMC requirement, within the deadline of 6 months. This was achieved in spite of limited funds and having to set up and train personnel in military-type projects. The package handed over to the USMC in October 2004 also included an initial set of spares and technical publications. Given that most defence companies quote at least ten years to develop a new vehicle, to have achieved this in some five and a half months was extraordinary.

The new design differed in many respects from the earlier South African vehicles, although in order to provide a degree of continuity for government contracting reasons, it retained the name "Cougar" given to two earlier GMC-powered vehicles sold to the US Army. The new Cougar had a single hull bottom-plate that ran the whole length of the vehicle, and this formed the basis of the protection of both the crew compartment and the engine-bay. It made for a much stiffer hull, with fewer welds, adding to the overall level of blast-protection. The structure of the hull around the commander and driver was considerably strengthened to add to the torsional stiffness of the vehicle, and the hull-sides were redesigned to provide additional space for troops or equipment. A full armor-upgrade pack was offered from the start, and the design specifically allowed for the addition of advanced armor systems such as the British chobham type.

Growth potential was limited in many of the South African designs, and this was addressed from the outset in the new Cougar. Heavier axles and a more powerful engine and transmission were selected, all of which were already in use in the US and other forces that were thought to be likely users of the Cougar. Logistic support was a major design requirement, and the components chosen were carefully assessed for the level of support that their respective original equipment manufacturers could provide.

Above all, the new design was developed under the auspices of first-world defence standards such as the United States Military Standard and the UK's Defstans, both of which also conformed with NATO STANAGs. This required, amongst other things, that a full product safety-case be developed and maintained from the outset, as well as appropriate training needs analysis and spares predictions. This meant that the new Cougar was capable of being fully operational in a wide range of climatic conditions by fully-equipped and clothed NATO troops, based upon a 95-percentile NATO crewman.

The initial USMC requirement, based upon first meetings with Force Protection VPs, was written on half a page of foolscap. After further talks, the need for levels of mobility covering beach-operations resulted in a suggestion that the 4x4 design should be augmented by a 6x6 version, which would also have a larger payload and volume in the cargo area. It was this version that led to increased US Army interest, as they had a need for a vehicle to carry a large explosive ordnance disposal robot. Subsequent meetings with the Army also led to changes in some of the major sub-systems to ensure even greater commonality with in-service equipment in order to ease training and support.

When the first Cougar was built, the USMC were asked if it might be retained for a month or two for testing. They replied that they had an urgent operational need for it in theater, but would take the advice of the VP handling the program about what to do. He said he felt that they should take the vehicle, to which the USMC program-lead replied "Good, we totally agree, for we know that you would never have designed a defective vehicle!" And so it left the factory, untested, and was in "action" a few days later in the Middle East.

The first 27 or so vehicles delivered to the USMC were called the Hardened Engineer Vehicle (HEV), a reference to the original intended Marine Corps operational role. This was changed to the 'Joint EOD Rapid Response Vehicle', or JERRV, when the Army joined the program and took over the prime-contractorship. Later, and to satisfy the needs of politicians to show that they were committed to the war in Iraq, the program was again changed to MRAP, at which time other companies became involved in the design and supply of similar vehicles, most of which were based in part, or entirely, upon the Cougar.

Some 7,000 of these vehicles were fielded under the US military's MRAP and other national vehicle programs. US Defense Secretary Robert Gates demanded that the vehicles be ordered in larger numbers after the Marines reported in 2004 that no troops had died in more than 300 IED attacks on Cougars. Since then, Cougar vehicles have been hit by improvised explosive devices many times in Iraq with few fatalities. Britain chose the Cougar over the RG-31 Nyala for their "Mastiff" APV.

Official data states that the Cougar is able to withstand a blast of at least 14 kg (30.86 lb) TNT under a wheel and 7 kg (15.43 lb) TNT under its belly.

Variants
The Cougar comes in two main configurations, a 4×4, and 6×6. It is designed for the transport and protection of troops and equipment, especially against mines or IEDs. The two main configurations come in specific variants.

 * Cougar HEV (Hardened engineer vehicle): 4×4 and 6×6 vehicles ordered in 2004 by the USMC.
 * Badger Iraqi Light Armored Vehicle (ILAV) : Based on the Cougar and manufactured by FPII and BAE Systems for the Iraqi Army. The ILAV is based on the Cougar, which can carry ten passengers (the six-wheel version can carry 16). The Cougar/ILAV vehicle uses a capsule design to protect the passengers and key vehicle components from mines and roadside bombs. The larger Cougar costs about $730,000 each, fully equipped. The Cougars have been very popular with American troops, and with Iraqis who have worked with them. 865 ILAVs were ordered by Iraq and 18 by Yemen. The ILAV gives the Iraqis the same degree of protection that most Coalition troops have.

 * Cougar JERRV (Joint EOD rapid response vehicle): 4×4 and 6×6 variants for the US Army, USAF, and USMC. Approx. 200 ordered in 2005 and 2006, with another 200 ordered in late 2006 but now called MRAPs to take account of the new US military/political initiative to be seen to be responding to public concerns about casualties.

 * Cougar ISS: Based on the Cougar 4×4, the ISS is fitted with an integrated independent suspension system that gives the vehicle increased cross-country mobility.

 * Ridgback PPV (Protected Patrol Vehicle): British version of the Cougar 4x4 from FPII base vehicles with a British armor package and electronics, including installation of Enforcer remote weapon stations on some vehicles. In 2015, Salisbury coroner David Ridley raised several "points of concern" relating to the vehicle when recording a narrative verdict on the deaths of four soldiers who drowned in Helmand, Afghanistan in June 2010.

 * Mastiff PPV (Protected Patrol Vehicle): British version of the Cougar 6×6 which arrived in Afghanistan during December 2006, with FPII providing the base vehicle and NP Aerospace in the UK integrating electronics and the British armor package. Mastiff 2 is an improved version with a capacity of 2 + 8 which arrived in Afghanistan during June 2009. The Mastiff is armed with a 7.62 mm GPMG, 12.7 mm heavy machine gun or 40 mm grenade machine gun.

 * Mastiff 2 'Protected Eyes': A version of the British Mastiff specially designed for the Talisman Counter-IED program. It is fitted with an M151 Protector remote weapon station, mine plow, optical camera and a Honeywell RQ-16 T-Hawk micro air vehicle with screens in the back to display its camera feed.

 * Wolfhound (Tactical Support Vehicle): British modification of the Cougar 6×6, with FPII providing the base vehicle and NP Aerospace in the UK integrating electronics and the British armor package. The first Wolfhounds entered service in Afghanistan in October 2010. 130 have been ordered for gun tractor and logistical roles.

 * Timberwolf: Cougar variant that was being marketed by Malley Industries of Dieppe, New Brunswick Canada for the replacement of the RG-31 and LAV for the Canadian Forces; Malley Industries lost the contract to Textron TAPV.

 * Fire Support Cougar: Cougar 4x4 chassis fitted with the complete turret and main gun assembly of the Panhard AML-90 armored car. In service with the Djiboutian Army.

 * Recovery of Airbase Denied by Ordnance (RADBO): Category I Cougar equipped with a U.S. Air Force-designed directed energy weapon, interrogator arm, console, and other features to clear unexploded ordnance from airfields.

Operational history
The Cougar is used primarily by the United States Armed Forces and the British Army, as well as law enforcement agencies in the United States. In service with those countries, the Cougar is used in a variety of roles, including the HEV (Hardened Engineer Vehicle) and the Joint Explosive Ordnance Disposal Rapid Response Vehicles (JERRV) while in service with the US Marine Corps, US Navy Seabees, and US Air Force Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operational Repair Squadron Engineers.

Compared to the original Cougar vehicle, the British variant is fitted with large, vertical armor plates that cover the large vision blocks and weapon firing ports. This is in line with British Army doctrine concerning the role of the APC/MICV, specifically that it is to carry troops under protection to the objective and give firepower support when they have disembarked. The Mastiff is fitted with a turret sporting either a L7A2 General Purpose Machine Gun, L110A1 Light Machine Gun, L11A1 Heavy Machine Gun or L134A1 40 mm Grenade Machine Gun. One aspect of the British Army's approach to APC/MICV units (which differs to that of the United States) is that the ability of the average soldier to fire accurately out the ports of a moving IFV has been questioned. The large armor plates add side protection from RPGs or IED explosions.

The British Army has operated an earlier MPV named "Tempest MPV". As of November 2008, the British Army has ordered over 400 Cougar vehicles for deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan following a series of Urgent Operational Requirements (UORs). Deliveries of the first 86 Mastiffs began in February 2007, and an order for 22 further vehicles was placed in March, bringing the total to 108. In October 2007, Gordon Brown announced a further 140 Mastiffs and 157 new Cougar 4x4 variants, named Ridgback were being ordered to protect troops from mines and roadside bombs.

Canada has deployed the Cougar since October 2007 in Afghanistan.

From November 2008, forty Cougar H were lent by the United States for the Polish contingent in Afghanistan. In Polish service they carried 7.62 mm PK machine guns.

On Jan 5, 2012 an Air Force EOD Team, Team Tripwire, three Airman, were killed by a remote detonated IED attack.

A British Mastiff suffered an IED attack in Afghanistan in April 2013 which caused three fatalities.

Area code 865

Area code 865 serves Knoxville, Tennessee, and the nine surrounding counties (Anderson, Blount, Grainger, Jefferson, Knox, Loudon, Roane, Sevier, and Union) in central East Tennessee. The area incorporates most of the region defined as the Knoxville-Sevierville-La Follette Combined Statistical Area.

Cities in the 865 area include Knoxville, Alcoa, Bean Station, Clinton, Gatlinburg, Harriman, Jefferson City, Kingston, Lenoir City, Maryville, Maynardville, Norris, Oak Ridge, Pigeon Forge, Plainview, Rockwood, Rutledge, Sevierville and Townsend.

History
When planning of the area code system concluded in 1947, area code 901 was assigned as the sole area code for Tennessee. In 1954, the numbering plan area was restricted to West Tennessee, while everything east of the Tennessee River received the new area code 615.

This division remained in place for 41 years, until area code 423 was created as the area code for most of East Tennessee, with 615 restricted to Middle Tennessee. The state's three area codes were now roughly coextensive with the Grand Divisions of Tennessee.

This was intended as a long-term solution. However, within only three years, 423 was already on the brink of exhaustion due to the proliferation of cell phones and pagers. With the prospect of 423 being exhausted by 1999, it soon became apparent that East Tennessee needed another area code, even though this would have forced some residents to change their numbers for the second time in a decade.

The Tennessee Regulatory Authority requested that the code 865 be assigned to Knoxville when the area was split from 423. This was because on a standard telephone keypad, the numbers 865 correspond to the letters VOL, the commonly used short version of Volunteers, which is the formal nickname of the sports teams at the University of Tennessee. Normally, when an area code is split, the largest city in an existing numbering plan area keeps the original code—in this case, Knoxville.

When plans were drawn up for the split, it was decided that the Tri-Cities were not large enough for their own area code, but were too large to follow Knoxville into 865. This left the Tennessee Regulatory Authority with two options–turn 865 into an overlay for all of East Tennessee, or make two non-contiguous sections of 423. Overlays were a new concept at the time, and met with some resistance due to the need for ten-digit dialing. The Regulatory Authority chose the second option.

865 began its split on October 1, 1999; permissive dialing of 423 continued throughout East Tennessee until February 1, 2000. This resulted in 423 becoming one of the few non-contiguous area codes in the country; 865 is now almost entirely surrounded by the two sections of 423.

On October 24, 2021, area code 865 was transitioned to ten-digit dialing, despite not being part of an overlay numbering plan, in which multiple area codes are assigned to a numbering plan area. The area code had telephone numbers assigned for the central office code 988. In 2020, 988 was designated nationwide as a dialing code for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which created a conflict for exchanges that still permitted seven-digit dialing.

Active Server Pages/Conditionals and Looping

= Objectives =

In this section we will introduce the basic program flow-control statements available to you in Active Server Pages. This includes conditional statement and looping constructs. After studying this section, you should have a good understanding of how to use Active Server Pages to make decisions based on expressions. You should also understand how to repeat a block of program code based on conditions you define.

= Content =

Conditional statements are used by your program to make decisions and decide what the program should do next. An example of this would be deciding whether a user has entered the correct password for your site by comparing the password entered with the correct password. If the user passes the test, they are sent to their account management Web page. If they fail, they are sent back to the login screen with an error indicating the "password is invalid".

This kind of decision making is common in all programming languages. You need to master this aspect of Active Server Pages in order to write dynamic web applications.

Another important concept is looping. Looping simply means that you repeat the same block of code multiple times. Since you are going through the code once, going back to the beginning and repeating it again, the direction of program execution looks like a loop (or a circle) which is why we call it looping. We will introduce you to all of the looping methods available to you in this chapter.

Program Flow
In general, program flow starts at the very top of the page and continues all the way down the page in the same way that you read a book. All pages are executed this way in ASP and it makes the code very easy to follow until you get to conditional statements and looping constructs.

Because of the logical flow of the program, it is easy to trace through your program code and output debugging information to see what your script is doing as it gets processed by the ASP interpreter. Through use of the Response.End statement, you can place breakpoints in your script to stop execution at specific points. More about this will be discussed later.

One topic that will not be covered in this section is procedure and object method calls. We will talk about these in later sections.

Conditionals
A conditional statement is one where an expression is evaluated and based on the result one or more actions may be taken. This allows you to check for a certain condition and take a specific action that is required when the condition is or is not met.

If-Then Statement
The "If-Then" statement is the most basic conditional statement. When put on a single line, this statement says "If the condition is met, then do this." For example, we could test to see if someone is old enough to vote with:

You may optionally, create an If-Then statement that encloses a block of statements. A block of statements means more than one statement grouped together. In this case, the entire block of statements will be executed only when the condition is met. We use indenting in this case to help us read the code and determine where the block starts and ends.

As you can see in this program block, the If Then statement defines the start of the program block while the End If statement defines the end of the program block. The program block is indented to make it easier to match the start and end of the block. All of the statements in this program block will only be executed if the conditional statement is met (nAge > 18). When it is not, nothing will be done.

If-Then-Else
The If Then statement is great, but what if you want to perform two different actions. One action to be taken when the condition is met and one action to be taken when the condition is not met. That is what the If Then Else statement was create to handle. It basically says: "If the condition is met, then do this, otherwise do this".

As you can see from the example above, you can put the entire If Then Else statement in one line. In many cases, you will want to avoid this since it tends to make the length of the line very long. Instead, you will probably want to use the program block form like so:

In this case, only one of the two program blocks will be executed. The first will be executed when the condition is met. The second will be executed when the condition is not met. So you can think of the If Then Else statement as saying "one or the other but not both".

Although we are using more than one statement in the program blocks shown above, you could also put a single statement within each program block. For debugging purposes, you can even have no statements at all within a program block. This allows you to comment out all the statements in a program block and your script will still run no problem.

You will notice that in the conditional expression for the If Then statement, we did not have to enclose the condition with parentheses "(" and ")". You can always use parentheses for grouping expressions together but they are not required to enclose conditional statements.

Select Case
The If Then statements are great if you are just evaluating a "true" or "false" condition. But if you want to evaluate an expression other than a boolean and take some action based on the result, you will need another mechanism. This is why the ASP language includes the Select Case statement. This allows you to basically "select" from a list of many cases, the action to perform.

The cases for a Select Case are all literal primitive values. You must have an "exact match" in order to match a "case". You may include more than one value to match, but you may not define ranges of values to match, nor may you define a pattern to match.

This select statement is a little deceiving, because it will only tell you that you can vote if the age is 18 and only 18. If the age is greater than 18, then none of the specific cases will be matched. Instead, the optional catch-all case (Case Default) will be executed when the age is greater than 18.

Of course, you don't need to include the Case Default if you don't need it. By leaving it off, you are basically saying "do nothing if an exact match for a case is not found".

You can use any expression for the Select Case as long as it evaluates to a primitive type. You can not use an object expression because there is no such thing as an object literal to compare it to. However, you can call an object method that returns a primitive type and use this as the expression.

In the example shown above, you can see that we are using the carriage return to separate the Case from the block to be executed. There is no need to terminate this type of program block. It is terminated by the instance of the next case or the End Select. You may also put the case and the action to perform on the same line by using the colon as a statement separator:

Looping Constructs
Looping constructs are used for repeating the same step over-and-over again. There may be many reasons to use a loop. In database-driven web applications, you will often use a loop to iterate over each record returned from a recordset.

For Next Loop
The "for next" loop allows you to repeat a block of code using an incremental counter. The counter is initialized at the start of the loop and then incremented at the end of the loop. At the start of each repetition, the counter is checked to see if it has exceeded the ending value. This is best explained by using an example:

In this example, we have created a loop that is repeated 10 times. We know it executes exactly ten times because you can read the statement as "for every whole integer from 1 to 10, do this".

The variable "I" is initialized with a value of 1 and the first repetition of the program block (indented) is executed. The output will be "I = 1". Don't worry about the "<br>" part, this is just HTML code to create a line break on the web page.

The second time through the loop, the counter (I) is incremented and takes on a value of 2. So the second line output by this block is "I = 2". This process repeats as I is incremented one at a time until the counter exceeds the end value. So in this case, the last line printed will be "I = 10".

In a more advanced case, we can change the way in which the index is incremented. If we wanted the counter to increment by 2, we would write the For Next loop as follows:

The output of this code will be:

I = 1 I = 3 I = 5 I = 7 I = 9

This time we only get five values output by the loop. This is because we are incrementing the counter by 2 instead of by 1 (the default.) Notice that we do not have to finish on the ending value (10). After incrementing the counter from 9 to 11, the loop checks to see if we have exceeded the ending value (10) and exits the loop.

You can also count backwards like this:

And of course, you can substitute expressions and variables for the starting and ending values and even the amount to "step through" the loop:

Do While
Another looping construct is the Do While loop which will repeat a block of program code as long as the condition is met. This is kind of like the If Then conditional statement in that it expects a boolean expression. Here is what it looks like:

What we have here is a loop that does exactly the same thing as the For Next example shown in the previous section. Why would you want to use this construct instead of a "for next"? The problem becomes obvious when it is not easy to determine how many repetitions of the loop you need to do.

In this case, we do not know how many times we will have to divide the value of X by two until we end up with a value less than or equal to 1. So we just use the Do While loop to handle the logic for us.

Do Until
Almost identical to the Do While looping construct is the Do Until. It works exactly the same way except that it repeats the program block until the condition evaluates to "true". You could basically do the same thing with "Do While" by enclosing your expression with Not (expr), but the creators of ASP realized that the code would be cleaner using this more logical statement.

Here, we have created a loop that does exactly the same thing as our "do while". We just reversed the logic of the conditional statement and changed the keywords to Do Until. In this case, it doesn't make the code that much cleaner to read. But as we will see later, there are definite cases where you will want to use Do Until.

While
The While loop works exactly the same as the Do While except that it has a little shorter construct. Please read the section on "Do While" to understand how this looping construct works.

Unlike the "Do" loops, the While loop program block is terminated by the Wend statement. = Summary =

Active Server Pages has many different control flow statements to handle the execution of your ASP page. The conditional statements are: If Then, If Then Else and Select Case. The looping constructs are For Next, Do While, Do Until and While. Conditional expressions in ASP do not need to be enclosed in parentheses ("(" and ")").

For Next loops manipulate a counter and repeat the program block until the counter exceeds the ending value. Do While, Do Until and While loops repeat based on the evaluation of a boolean expression (meaning an expression resulting in the value of "true" or "false").

Clare Street drill hall, Northampton

The Clare Street drill hall is a military installation in Northampton, Northamptonshire. It is a Grade II listed building.

History
The building was designed in the Fortress Gothic Revival Style as the headquarters of the 1st Northamptonshire Rifle Volunteer Corps and completed in 1859. The unit evolved to become the 1st Volunteer Battalion, The Northamptonshire Regiment in 1887 and the 4th Battalion, The Northamptonshire Regiment in 1908. The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to Gallipoli and, ultimately, to Palestine. The Northamptonshire Yeomanry was also based at Clare Street at this time. The 4th Battalion, The Northamptonshire Regiment converted to become the 50th Searchlight Regiment, Royal Artillery in 1940.
