Talk:Network Admission Control

Merge from Network Access Control
I think that the two of these should be merged. If not merged, then the Network Access Control needs to at least be cleaned up. Also, a change should be made one the Network Access Control to not point to this page as a synonym. Earcaraxe 20:54, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm unclear on the differences between Network Access Control and this page. Since Network Access Control seems to have a number of problems (it currently has an unsourced and context), I'm suggesting cleaning up and merging Network Access Control into this page, Network Admission Control.

I vote that NAC and NAC not merge... Network Admission Control is Cisco-centric and is discreet from Network Access Control, which is generic. Think "Kleenex" and "Tissue" with a requirement for technical accuracy.

I vote that Network Access Control and Network Admission Control are not the same. Network Access control is about an endpoint on the network, while Network Admission Control is about the endpoint getting access to the network. Very different. Only a Cisco bigot would want the two to be merge and not understand the difference.

Yes they should be merged, or perhaps renamed, NAAC. While there is a difference between Access and Admission, the customer is demanding that applications that are responsible for this functionality be capable of doing both. This is similar to what happened with the SIM (i=information), SIM (i=incident), SEM markets....now SI/EM).

So does this mean that glue and nails will also be merged? Customers demand applications do lots of things as one rather than multiple. Wikipedia is not about customer demand it is about knowledge. Keeping them separate with cross references shows the knowledge of the differences and enables greater understanding of the technology that is becoming pervasive in computers.

For those who maintain that the terms warrent separate articles, I ask you to please outline the differences so we can incorporate them into the articles. Currently I find that the articles do not provide enough information for a reader to understand the difference.--Ktdreyer 02:24, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

The best way to outline the reason for the two to be seperate is to quote directly from the article itself with assists info seekers in gaining knowledge without confusion -

"Network Access Control (NAC) aims to do exactly what the name implies: control access to a network. The term NAC is also sometimes used for Network Admission Control, which is focused on authenticating users and performing a posture check on the connecting device. The broader definition of NAC, as access control, includes pre-admission endpoint security policy checks and post-admission controls over where users can go on a network and what they can do."

Yes, Network Admission Control is a Cisco term. Network Access Control is the generic term. To differentiate them, many people use the acronyms C-NAC and NAC. No question, it's confusing. Some have tried to pioneer a new generic term but none have succeeded and most have given up. InteropLabs has a good series of papers on NAC at http://www.interop.com/newyork/event-highlights/interoplabs/ Stevehanna 21:31, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

problems
Note that an hour ago I was unable to access the cia site, bandwidth shut down, 1 hr later I can access the cia site again. I was going to report a couple who has been stalking me somewhat, maybe. An ex but this is just a guess and if truly frightful, my parents arranged the whole thing, jus guessing, in either case would like for desunchronization of time if this is the issue that causes a couple to stalk. Not sure but if this can somehow cause terrorism or create terrorists, pls make these ppl cease and desist — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:09, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Cape Finniss

Cape Finniss (also spelt Cape Finnis) is a headland located at the southern extremity of Anxious Bay on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula in South Australia about 6 km Northwest by west of the town of Elliston. It is described as being ‘a rocky headland with a rounded top, 47 m high.’ Cape Finniss is linked by a submerged reef which is considered to be ‘remnants of a once more prominent Cape Finnis(s)’ to the Waldegrave Islands which are located to the cape's north west.

Talk:Plant identification

It would be wonderful if there were a lesson (either here or at Wikibooks) that could teach identification techniques, and help readers become familiar with a certain set of plants before quizzing them. The Jade Knight 09:46, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

 * That's a little easier said than done, but it's a good idea :). To really learn how to identify plants "from scratch", you'd need to develop a dichotomous key (preferably a different one for each region), which is no small undertaking. Down the road a bit we could try to develop seasonal keys by region using the data from the Bloom Clock, but that's going to take a while. In lieu of that, setting up a "comittee" of sorts to help identify plants from photos would at least fill the need while a resource like that was developed. --SB_Johnny | talk 18:35, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:HTML

I think we really need to stress the emerging industry standard of using external CSS to handle all or almost all web page presentation elements. HTML should be seen as little more than a container for the content. As such, perhaps a combined HTML/CSS tutorial would be better? Any thoughts on this issue? (BTW, the last two edits by <IP_ADDRESS> are mine.)

-- Xlbnushk 15:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I completely agree, and I think some were trying to get a Topic:XHTML started for that, but here is a topic for learning HTML, without CSS. Maybe Web Design covers what you're looking for? Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 02:49, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

So, the Web Design course will be like a hub, and courses like Topic:HTML will be spokes, dealing only with that specific topic? Is there any discussion about this organizational aspect, or are people just writing up articles? -- Xlbnushk 18:00, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi Xlbnushk! I've been trying to structure the Topic:Web Design section around doing activities, rather than separate topics of knowledge... so for example, the first section is called Build a basic web page and this involves (X)HTML and CSS, with some HTML and CSS challenges thrown in for fun). I'd love to discuss organizational aspects of all this material... Michaelnelson 10:14, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Computer Programming
I cannot see how any computer programming is needed as a prerequisite for HTML. HTML is a markup language, not a programming language. It does not have ANY control structures or variables, no memory stack, nothing at all related to programming. I am removing this prerequisite because all it can do is scare away people and make them thing HTML is harder than it really is. Kainaw 13:34, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Interpretting HTML
The introduction falsely claimed HTML was a programming language - it is a markup language. Those are two very different things. Also, it claimed that HTML told web browsers how to interpret the HTML. The web browsers have programs in them that interpret the HTML. The HTML doesn't tell them how to interpret it. That is the whole point. HTML is a markup language - a set of suggestions that we hope the web browser can sanely handle. A programming language is a set of rules that must be obeyed - not interpreted and possibly ignored all together. It is simply wrong to confuse programming languages and markup languages as well as confuse the difference between HTML and a web browser. Kainaw 13:39, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Lesson order
I would say this course is nearly finnished. There is just a need to put different lessons in order. Note there is a navigationa template for that. First lesson starts as an Introduction to HTML.--Juan 11:35, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

This DESPERATELY needs updating. The b, i, strong, font, etc. tags are no longer generally used - though browsers can usually interpret them. Instead, CSS styles are used. Go to for more info...

"Rivalry"
So, user Templeonu recently edited the page, claiming that Einstein's rival was Northwood. Having graduated in 2009, and being invested in sports, it has always seemed to me that Einstein has no serious rivalries. We kinda have a rivalry with all the DCC schools, like Blair, Kennedy, and, yes, Northwood. But they're not mutually held (at least that what my friends who went to those schools tell me). So unless something drastic has happened in the last 3 years that I haven't heard about, none of those rivalries is serious enough to be specially mentioned in the infobox. Templeonu, what're your thoughts? acomas (talk) 03:53, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

I only found one resource from WTOP that support the term “ Crimestein”. I had 2 kids go to Einstein and I’ve have never heard that term until now. I did further research and apparently all MCPS high schools have nickname. “Whitman” is “Whiteman” “Northwood is “Northweed” “Blair” is “Blajauana” so why not include those names with those schools history? Yes I admit the history is well researched but names that silly students from rival schools came up with is just distasteful. If we are going to include nicknames then it should be applied to all schools. Lawper (talk) 01:31, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Anything added must be paraphrased from reliable sources and you must demonstrate via sourcing that the addition is of much wider interest than the school and its community.

Angus W. Kerr

Angus Walter Kerr (May 24, 1873 – May 30, 1927) was an American politician and lawyer.

Early life and education
Kerr was born in Ontario, Canada on May 24, 1873. Kerr moved to Lake Linden, Michigan when he was a child. There, he received a high school education. Kerr then attended the University of Michigan Law School from 1891 to 1892.

Career
At the end of his law education, Kerr entered the law office of A. T. Streeter in Calumet, Michigan. Kerr was admitted to the bar on July 12, 1895. Kerr went on to serve as the city attorney of Calumet and as the circuit court commissioner for Houghton County. In 1901, Albert Edward Petermann entered Kerr's law office. He would work there until 1911. Petermann who would go on to serve in the Michigan House of Representatives in 1917. Kerr served in the Spanish American War, in Company D of the 34th Michigan Volunteer Regiment. Then, he was mustered out, where he was assigned recruiting duty. On November 8, 1898, Kerr was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives where he represented the Houghton County 1st district from January 1, 1899, to January 1, 1903. Kerr served as Houghton County prosecuting attorney from 1905 to 1908. Kerr served as chief counsel of the Western Federation of Miners during the Great Copper Country strike.

Kerr later moved to Springfield, Illinois where he served as a member of the judiciary. In Illinois, in 1914, he served as the chief counsel of the United Mine Workers. In this position, he helped the passage of the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act. He had also served as Assistant Attorney General.

Personal life
Angus W. Kerr was married to Katherine. Kathrine survived Angus, and so did two of their children.

Death
On May 30, 1927, Kerr died in Springfield, Illinois, following an operation. At the time of his death, he was serving on the Illinois Crime Commission.

Wallace's Cave, Auchinleck

Wallace's Cave in the Lugar Gorge at Auchinleck in the Parish of Auchinleck, East Ayrshire is an 18th-century grotto, contemporary with Dr Johnson's Summerhouse which is also located on the Auchinleck Estate. It shows superior workmanship and is possibly the enlargement of a pre-existing cave. The cave or grotto lies downstream of the confluence of the Dippol Burn with the River Lugar and is reached via a once well formed path; however access is now hazardous due to the condition of the cliff edge path and the vertical drop into the River Lugar.

Cave and access
The cave is a Category B Listed Building that is reached via a narrow path and some rock cut steps that follow the River Lugar gorge. Lying within a side gorge cut by a small burn, the final approach requires the crossing of the burn. The masons' chisel marks are very clear on the walls and their work created a chamber with a floor area of approximately 14 square feet with prominent rib vaults that rise from the four corners meeting at the central roof apex, thus creating the impression, deliberately or not, of a cross or Saltire. The cave height is approximately ten feet and access is via a pointed seven foot high arched doorway, now minus its door, with one small, similarly shaped window to its left, as viewed from the outside. The window shows no obvious sign of having been glazed.

The eminent antiquarian John Smith visited the area circa 1895 recording historic sites but makes no reference to the two caves on the estate. It has been suggested that this or a previous cave dates from the late 13th or 14th century. Warrick, writing in 1899, makes no reference to Wallace's Cave at this site although he mentions one near Lugar in the Cubs' Glen on the Glenmuir Water.

John Thomson's map of 1832 does not mark the cave; however, the natural feature Kemp's Castle and the ruins of Ochiltree Castle and Auchinleck Castle are shown. The 1857 OS map shows a path leading to the site with no cave indicated, however by 1896 it is recorded. The 1908 map records the cave; however the access path is no longer shown.

History
It has been estimated as dating from circa 1760 and has been hewn from soft red sandstone in the Gothic style as a man-made folly or grotto, although the possibility remains that it was an extension of a natural cave. The RCAHMS Canmore site classifies the site as post-medieval and holds no details of the grotto. The original Auchinleck Castle stands upstream of the cave just above the confluence of the Dippol Burn with the River Lugar.

It was common practice during times of war or unrest to hide valuables, charters, etc. in safe locations and it is possible that Wallace's Cave may have been first made for this purpose, as was the case with Bruce's Cave at Kirkpatrick Fleming.

The first Laird of Auchinleck or Affleck on record was Nicol de Achethlec or Achethlic who was a great supporter of Scottish independence and is said to have been related to Sir William Wallace.

It is known that Nicol rode with Wallace to Glasgow where the English soldiers were defeated at the 'Battle of the Bell of the Brae'. It has been surmised that the grotto's name patriotically commemorates the romantic Boswell family association with the national hero and that it is contemporary with the surviving Gothic grotto variously known as Dr Johnson's Summerhouse, 'Boswell's Summerhouse' situated further upstream on the Dippol Burn near the Ten Shillings Bridge, making two grottoes hewn in the picturesque landscape circa 1760 to enhance the new Auchinleck House and pleasure gardens.

Micro-history
A visitor to one of the caves in circa 1947 describes a walk that takes him to "a staircase of broad wooden steps built into the steep bank, but so deep in leaves that the stepping places were hard to distinguish. It led down to the water's edge, and gave access to a large cave hewn in the solid rock. A fine dry apartment it was, and to sit on the carved ledge and watch the wagtails dipping from stone to stone, the burn clear as a sheet of crystal, was most restful." This may refer to the summerhouse named in Dr Samuel Johnson's honour.

Other Wallace's Cave sites

 * A rock shelter near Lugar, East Ayrshire in the Cubs' Glen on the Glenmuir Water.
 * On the opposite side of the River Ayr from Wallace's Heel Well; it is said that Wallace used it to hide from English troops. No sign of it remains.
 * Bothwell Parish on the South Calder Water, Lanarkshire, to the west of Cleland and close to the site of the old Ravenscraig steelworks.
 * A natural cave in the Cartland Craigs, South Lanarkshire (NS 8691 4454) ravine.
 * Corra Linn near New Lanark, Lanarkshire.
 * A Wallace's Cave or Hawthornden Castle Cave exists in Roslin Glen, Midlothian, The castle stands nearby and the patriot took part in the Battle of Roslin on 24 February 1303.
 * Crawhill in Lothian, said to have been used by him after the Battle of Falkirk.

Gale diagram

In the mathematical discipline of polyhedral combinatorics, the Gale transform turns the vertices of any convex polytope into a set of vectors or points in a space of a different dimension, the Gale diagram of the polytope. It can be used to describe high-dimensional polytopes with few vertices, by transforming them into sets with the same number of points, but in a space of a much lower dimension. The process can also be reversed, to construct polytopes with desired properties from their Gale diagrams. The Gale transform and Gale diagram are named after David Gale, who introduced these methods in a 1956 paper on neighborly polytopes.

Transform
Given a $$d$$-dimensional polytope, with $$n$$ vertices, adjoin 1 to the Cartesian coordinates of each vertex, to obtain a $$(d+1)$$-dimensional column vector. The matrix $$A$$ of these $$n$$ column vectors has dimensions $$(d+1)\times n$$, defining a linear mapping from $$n$$-space to $$(d+1)$$-space, surjective with rank $$d+1$$. The kernel of $$A$$ describes linear dependencies among the $$n$$ original vertices with coefficients summing to zero; this kernel has dimension $$n-d-1$$. The Gale transform of $$A$$ is a matrix $$B$$ of dimension $$n\times (n-d-1)$$, whose column vectors are a chosen basis for the kernel of $$A$$. Then $$B$$ has $$n$$ row vectors of dimension $$n-d-1$$. These row vectors form the Gale diagram of the polytope. A different choice of basis for the kernel changes the result only by a linear transformation.

Note that the vectors in the Gale diagram are in natural bijection with the $$n$$ vertices of the original $$d$$-dimensional polytope, but the dimension of the Gale diagram is smaller whenever $$n \leq 2d$$.

A proper subset of the vertices of a polytope forms the vertex set of a face of the polytope, if and only if the complementary set of vectors of the Gale transform has a convex hull that contains the origin in its relative interior. Equivalently, the subset of vertices forms a face if and only if its affine span does not intersect the convex hull of the complementary vectors.

Linear diagram
Because the Gale transform is defined only up to a linear transformation, its nonzero vectors can be normalized to all be $$(n-d-1)$$-dimensional unit vectors. The linear Gale diagram is a normalized version of the Gale transform, in which all the vectors are zero or unit vectors.

Affine diagram
Given a Gale diagram of a polytope, that is, a set of $$n$$ unit vectors in an $$(n-d-1)$$-dimensional space, one can choose a $$(n-d-2)$$-dimensional subspace $$S$$ through the origin that avoids all of the vectors, and a parallel subspace $$S'$$ that does not pass through the origin. Then, a central projection from the origin to $$S'$$ will produce a set of $$(n-d-2)$$-dimensional points. This projection loses the information about which vectors lie above $$S$$ and which lie below it, but this information can be represented by assigning a sign (positive, negative, or zero) or equivalently a color (black, white, or gray) to each point. The resulting set of signed or colored points is the affine Gale diagram of the given polytope. This construction has the advantage, over the Gale transform, of using one less dimension to represent the structure of the given polytope.

Gale transforms and linear and affine Gale diagrams can also be described through the duality of oriented matroids. As with the linear diagram, a subset of vertices forms a face if and only if there is no affine function (a linear function with a possibly nonzero constant term) that assigns a non-negative value to each positive vector in the complementary set and a non-positive value to each negative vector in the complementary set.

Examples
The Gale diagram is particularly effective in describing polyhedra whose numbers of vertices are only slightly larger than their dimensions.

Simplices
A $$d$$-dimensional polytope with $$n=d+1$$ vertices, the minimum possible, is a simplex. In this case, the linear Gale diagram is 0-dimensional, consisting only of zero vectors. The affine diagram has $$n$$ gray points.

One additional vertex
In a $$d$$-dimensional polytope with $$n=d+2$$ vertices, the linear Gale diagram is one-dimensional, with the vector representing each point being one of the three numbers $$-1$$, $$0$$, or $$+1$$. In the affine diagram, the points are zero-dimensional, so they can be represented only by their signs or colors without any location value. In order to represent a polytope, the diagram must have at least two points with each nonzero sign. Two diagrams represent the same combinatorial equivalence class of polytopes when they have the same numbers of points of each sign, or when they can be obtained from each other by negating all of the signs.

For $$d=2$$, the only possibility is two points of each nonzero sign, representing a convex quadrilateral. For $$d=3$$, there are two possible Gale diagrams: the diagram with two points of each nonzero sign and one zero point represents a square pyramid, while the diagram with two points of one nonzero sign and three points with the other sign represents the triangular bipyramid.

In general, the number of distinct Gale diagrams with $$n=d+2$$, and the number of combinatorial equivalence classes of $$d$$-dimensional polytopes with $$n$$ vertices, is $$\lfloor d^2/4 \rfloor$$.

Two additional vertices
In a $$d$$-dimensional polytope with $$n=d+3$$ vertices, the linear Gale diagram consists of points on the unit circle (unit vectors) and at its center. The affine Gale diagram consists of labeled points or clusters of points on a line. Unlike for the case of $$n=d+2$$ vertices, it is not completely trivial to determine when two Gale diagrams represent the same polytope.

Three-dimensional polyhedra with six vertices provide natural examples where the original polyhedron is of a low enough dimension to visualize, but where the Gale diagram still provides a dimension-reducing effect.

 * A regular octahedron has linear Gale diagram comprising three pairs of equal points on the unit circle (representing pairs of opposite vertices of the octahedron), dividing the circle into arcs of angle less than $$\pi$$. Its affine Gale diagram consists of three pairs of equal signed points on the line, with the middle pair having the opposite sign to the outer two pairs.
 * A triangular prism has linear Gale diagram comprising six points on the circle, in three diametrically opposed pairs, with each pair representing vertices of the prism that are adjacent on two square faces of the prism. The corresponding affine Gale diagram has three pairs of points on a line, like the regular octahedron, but with one point of each sign in each pair.

Applications
Gale diagrams have been used to provide a complete combinatorial enumeration of the $$d$$-dimensional polytopes with $$n=d+3$$ vertices, and to construct polytopes with unusual properties. These include:
 * The Perles polytope, an 8-dimensional polytope with 12 vertices that cannot be realized with rational Cartesian coordinates. Micha Perles constructed it from the Perles configuration (nine points and nine lines in the plane that cannot be realized with rational coordinates) by doubling three of the points, assigning signs to the resulting 12 points, and treating the resulting signed configuration as the Gale diagram of a polytope. Although irrational polytopes are known with dimension as low as four, none are known with fewer vertices.
 * The Kleinschmidt polytope, a 4-dimensional polytope with 8 vertices, 10 tetrahedral facets, and one octahedral facet, constructed by Peter Kleinschmidt. Although the octahedral facet has the same combinatorial structure as a regular octahedron, it is not possible for it to be regular. Two copies of this polytope can be glued together on their octahedral facets to produce a 10-vertex polytope in which some pairs of realizations cannot be continuously deformed into each other.
 * The bipyramid over a square pyramid is a 4-dimensional polytope with 7 vertices having the dual property, that the shape of one of its vertex figures (the apex of its central pyramid) cannot be prescribed. Originally found by David W. Barnette, it was rediscovered by Bernd Sturmfels using Gale diagrams.
 * The construction of small "unneighborly polytopes", that is, polytopes without a universal vertex, and "illuminated polytopes", in which every vertex is incident to a diagonal that passes through the interior of the polytope. The cross polytopes have these properties, but in 16 or more dimensions there exist illuminated polytopes with fewer vertices, and in 6 or more dimensions the illuminated polytopes with the fewest vertices need not be simplicial. The construction involves Gale diagrams.

Cookbook:Brussels Sprout

Brussels sprouts are a variety of brassica resembling a miniature cabbage. It's believed that they were first cultivated in Belgium, and they are therefore named after its capital, Brussels.

Characteristics
Brussels sprouts grow on long thick stalks, from which they must be picked, usually by hand. The individual sprouts resemble small cabbages, with a round to slightly ovoid shape and tightly packed leaves. They are usually no more than about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter, and smaller sprouts tend to be sweeter than larger ones. The leaves are a darker green on the outside and get more tender and yellow toward the inside. The flavor is slightly bitter and cabbagey when raw, but when cooked and browned they get sweeter and more complex in flavor.

As brassicas, brussels sprouts harbor sulfur-containing compounds, which can result in unpleasant odors and flavors when prepared improperly. Overcooking them, especially by boiling, tends to amplify such characteristics. When suitably prepared, brussels sprouts have a sweet and nutty flavor.

Seasonality
Brussels sprouts are a typical winter vegetable. Frost is generally considered to improve their flavor—so, though they are available from October or earlier, the prime season starts in November.

Selection and storage
Brussels sprouts may be sold attached to or separated from their stalks—if feasible, purchasing on-the-stalk sprouts will help prolong their storage life. Select brussels sprouts that are green and firm, whose leaves are tightly clustered and not wilted. They will last about a week in the fridge after purchasing, and 3–5 weeks at 32°F (0°C). If you want to freeze them, it's best to blanch and dry them first.

Preparation
To prepare brussels sprouts, slice off the base of the sprout and remove the outer layer or two of leaves, which are tougher and can become battered during transport and storage. Wash the buds well before cooking. Because they are a small vegetable, sprouts can generally be cooked whole, but they may also be halved or sliced to encourage even cooking. When cooking larger sprouts whole, you can cut a small cross in the base to help the sprout cook evenly. When eating them raw, they should be shaved or thinly sliced.

Use
Overcooking is a common problem with brussels sprouts, especially when boiling or steaming. This makes them soggy and discoloured, and it releases the strong 'cabbagey' odour of all brassicas. When boiling sprouts, keep an eye on their color, flavor, and texture. Whole sprouts require 4–10 minutes of boiling time, depending on how cooked you want them. Steaming time ranges from 8–15 minutes. It's best to taste test the sprouts during cooking to see whether they have the desired tenderness. When done, they should be bright green.

Brussels sprouts can also be roasted or fried with oil and seasonings. Dry cooking in this way allows the sprouts to caramelize, which produces a nutty sweetness, and avoids overall sogginess. Sprouts may also be shaved and eaten raw, although this tends to be less common than cooking them.

In the UK, brussels sprouts are a traditional winter vegetable, and are often eaten boiled with a roast dinner. They can also be stir fried or made into soup. Simple serving suggestions include sprinkling the sprouts with lemon juice, salt, fresh nutmeg, or grated cheese, possibly with a light coating of butter or olive oil.

Talk:Nicholas Irving

Disrespectful
In my opinion, the article is written from a very negative perspective. It mentions how he was not a good student only getting one "A" in school, how he "left" his wife at an Army base and deserted her only to remarry someone else. The entire tone was negative. Keep in mind that Nicholas Irving is a well respected US Sniper and one of the few (if not only) African American special forces members with public distinction. When comparing his article with that of Chris Kyle's, Chris' article speaks of his awards and decorations, book sales and successes, and his "legacy". I think the overall tone and content of this article should be updated to afford Nicholas "The Reaper" Irving the respect he deserves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:680:c200:55ea::191f (talk • contribs) 07:22, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Peanuts Hucko

Michael Andrew "Peanuts" Hucko (April 7, 1918 – June 19, 2003) was an American big band musician. His primary instrument was the clarinet, but he sometimes played saxophone.

Early life and education
He was born in Syracuse, New York, United States, and moved to New York City in 1939; he played tenor saxophone with Will Bradley, Tommy Reynolds, and Joe Marsala until 1940. After a brief time with Charlie Spivak, he joined the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band which he served in Europe during World War II. During this time, Peanuts (the nickname comes from a childhood love of the food) began to concentrate on the clarinet "because we did a lot of marching in sand, which was awkward with the tenor." He was featured in Miller's hard-driving versions of "Stealin' Apples" and "Mission to Moscow".

Post-war period

During the post-war period, Hucko played in the bands of Benny Goodman, Ray McKinley, Eddie Condon and Jack Teagarden. From 1950 to 1955, he was busy in New York as a studio musician for CBS and ABC. This was followed by more work with Goodman and Teagarden, after which he joined the Louis Armstrong All-Stars from 1958 to 1960. When he visited Tokyo, Japan, as the lead alto saxophone player of Benny Goodman's Orchestra in January, 1951, he listened to clarinetist Shoji Suzuki and his Rhythm Aces. With Suzuki and his band, they recorded the song "Suzukake No Michi", which broke sales records in Japan.

Hucko led his own group at Eddie Condon's Club from 1964 to 1966. He became known for his work with Frank Sinatra as the clarinet soloist on Cole Porter's "What Is This Thing Called Love?", which was featured on Sinatra's album In the Wee Small Hours (1955). In 1964, he opened his own nightclub in Denver, Peanuts Hucko's Navarre, featuring his singer wife Louise Tobin (formerly Mrs. Harry James) and Ralph Sutton. From 1966, he was featured regularly at Dick Gibson's Colorado jazz parties where he appeared with the Ten Greats of Jazz, later called the World's Greatest Jazz Band.

In the 1970s, he led the Glenn Miller Orchestra and toured with them across the U.S. and abroad. During this period he toured the U.K. as guest soloist with the Million Airs Orchestra, appearing with them in recreations of the Glenn Miller AEF Orchestra concerts and broadcasts. Hucko is perhaps best known to the public for his appearances with the Lawrence Welk Orchestra on national TV during the early 1970s.

In the 1980s, Hucko had a busy concert and touring schedule as a soloist and with his award-winning Pied Piper quintet. He and Tobin later settled into semi-retirement in Denton, Texas. His last recording was Swing That Music in 1992 featuring Tobin, trumpeter Randy Sandke, and pianist Johnny Varro.

He died in 2003 in Fort Worth, Texas at the age of 85.

Compositions
Peanuts Hucko wrote, or co-wrote, the following songs: "See You Again", "A Bientot", "Peanut Butter", which appeared on V-Disc 812B, "Blintzes Bagel Boogie", which appeared on V-Disc 825A, "Falling Tears", "First Friday", "Tremont Place", and "Sweet Home Suite".

Portal talk:Japanese/Archive 1

General
Balloonguy 20:02, 7 November 2006 (UTC) -- I hope I did this right, if I haven't please correct my errors. The Japanese wikibook has a lot of useful things we could use, including some lessons.

Balloonguy 00:06, 17 November 2006 (UTC) -- We should consider how to apply the The Wikiversity model for online learning to this.

Topic vs. stream
Xlbnushk 21:36, 7 November 2006 (UTC) -- I brought this issue up on the Japanese stream page, too, but what's the difference in purpose between the topic page and the stream page?

 * Balloonguy 00:15, 9 November 2006 (UTC) -- According to Naming_conventions topic pages are:

 * "Pages in the topic namespace are meta-discussion pages to help Wikiversity participants plan the development of main namespace educational content. Educational content such as lessons do NOT go in the topic namespace. ... Link from "Topic:" namespace pages to educational resources that are on main namespace pages."

 * And stream plan is:

 * "A collection of learning projects about a particular topic."

 * And a learning project is basically the "course", in this case learning japanese. So, in the stream there should be link to the course. In the topic page there should be coordination information and in the Japanese page, which does not exist yet, is where your course information and lessons should go.

 * Xlbnushk 06:12, 10 November 2006 (UTC) -- Let me get this straight... The Topic:Japanese page is for coordinating the development of Japanese language courses. The Japanese stream page is for collecting and organizing the various courses. (I use "course" here to mean a set of lessons. For example, a basic reading course would contain individual lessons about hiragana, katakana, and kanji.) What would be the purpose of the plain old Japanese page?

 * Balloonguy 19:06, 11 November 2006 (UTC) -- I think this is correct, the correct term for course in wikiversity is a learning project. The plain japanese page was an accident. I had created the page thinking there would only be one japanese learning project which I now know would not be practical.

Lessons
Balloonguy 02:05, 9 November 2006 (UTC) -- I have just created the Introduction to Japanese learning project page. Please fix any errors and add any additional information. By looking at the course plan that Xlbnushk has listed on the stream page, the kana lessons could be imported from wikibooks.

Balloonguy 20:54, 19 November 2006 (UTC) -- You are right, the introduction should contain historical, cultural and liguistical information.

Categories
Xlbnushk 02:10, 10 November 2006 (UTC) -- Japanese fits into the following category:

 * Category:Japanese

All Japanese articles should have this category at the bottom.

 * Balloonguy 03:14, 10 November 2006 (UTC) -- I have added the categories listed above to Introduction to Japanese and to Japanese stream

Xlbnushk 20:42, 10 November 2006 (UTC) -- UPDATE. Articles should only be placed in the category that is its immediate parent. Japanese articles go ONLY in Category:Japanese. The rest should be left to the hierarchy. Category:Japanese will then go into Category:Foreign Language Learning and so on.

Discussion format
Xlbnushk 06:12, 10 November 2006 (UTC) -- I think it would be best to put your name in bold in front of your comment like this so that it will be easier to tell who's saying what and when the speaker (writer) changes. I've updated what we've got so far to fit this format. If you don't like it, I can change it back. Any thoughts?

 * Balloonguy 19:26, 11 November 2006 (UTC) -- I agree it is easier to tell who's saying what but this seems to be a change in policy about talk pages, it should be officialy proposed. Help:Talk page has a method for formatting comments on a talk page. See Help:Talk page and Colloquium

Course Map
Balloonguy 22:32, 11 November 2006 (UTC) --The course map should go on the stream page so that people can see what the stream plan actually leads to.

Balloonguy 02:07, 14 November 2006 (UTC) -- What is the purpose of the Introduction to Japanese page? I had intended it to be the meta learning project what the Japanese stream page says is the beginner course and integrated lessons which includes writing and speaking. Right now it looks as if it is a learning project for learning key grammatical concpets and some basic vocabulary is If the lessons are to be seperated into seperate components I think that would be okay since I don't quite understand how that would work out.

 * Dnjkirk 16:36, 14 November 2006 (UTC) -- Nobody was doing anything on the page, so I stuck something in. Move it if you don't want it there.

 * Balloonguy 20:49, 15 November 2006 (UTC) --- It is not that I don't want it there, I guess I am asking is that we should formalize the course map like the japanese wikibook did in Japanese/Practical_Lessons

 * Xlbnushk 19:56, 19 November 2006 (UTC) -- I am totally blown away. I just looked through Japanese, and feel utterly dwarfed. Yes, that should definitely be our ultimate goal. How about this? Let's create a map of the various pages available there, take the discussion into account, and come up with an overall course map. That should be the #1 priority and should be done before we start making lessons.

 * Balloonguy 20:52, 19 November 2006 (UTC) -- I created a section to list pages the could be useful from the Japanese wikibook. There are a lot of pages on the wikibook, but there are a lot of redundant stuff on it as well, so let's get to work mining for data! Also, the way Tae Kim introduces grammer on Guide to Japanese Grammer is very good. We could also use the order in which Tae Kim introduces kanji and since Tae Kim licensed the guide under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 we can use the exercises as well.

 * Balloonguy 01:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC) -- I have created finished the Introduction to Japanese learning project since that was not under debate and I am in the process of creating a Japanese writing system learning project since this is also not under debate. After I finish this, we need to make a course map about how vocabulary and grammar should be taught. Two ideas I have is to have sample conversations about different situtations and have students learn vocabulary and grammar through immersion or have it so students learn the language from basic grammar up with vocabulary thrown in in order to have the exercises make sense, like how Guide to Japanese Grammer is organized i.e. it starts out teaching about existance and introduces vocabulary with the exercises.

Balloonguy 01:13, 31 December 2006 (UTC) -- I have finished finding pages on our sister projects, we should start discussing the course map now.

Material from wikibooks
Balloonguy 00:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC) -- I listed the material I found from wikibooks. I think I got them all. I know, the list is in pitifull state, it needs to be organized, which I will do later, feel free to organize the pages.

Xlbnushk 06:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC) -- Hey, awesome job with that. I'm dropping by to say that I'm going to be gone for a while... I've got a lot of things lined up right now. I'll be busy for several weeks, after which I will most likely be without an internet connection. So, no telling how long it'll ultimately be. I'll stop by occasionally, though, to see how things are going. Sorry about the sudden disappearance.

Balloonguy 22:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC) -- I've organized Topic:Japanese/Materials and have created Topic:Japanese/Materials/Wikiversity and Topic:Japanese/Materials/Wikibooks to list materials found at the respected locations.

Firefox Language packs
Where can I get language packs for Firefox? This is not off topic. Maybe it should go in a FAQ or something. How can I use the materials without it!? --Remi0o 22:41, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

If you are asking how to display Japanese text then Computing in Japanese, if you are asking to change the firefox interface so that labels for the buttons and stuff are in japanese and you have firefox 2.0 then

Furigana
I found a template in wikibooks that allows you to put furigana. I have put it in my sandbox to test. I have used it in Computing in Japanese, check it out. The problem with the template is that it does not allow the page to validate. CSS3 has support for ruby text, does anyone know how to do this?--Balloonguy 23:20, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Furigana
Created Template:Ruby-ja --Balloonguy 00:43, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Japanese Characters
Is there someone who can create a template which contains: "The following learning projects use Japanese characters. Please check your computer's capabilites here.", to warn users about Japanese text.--Balloonguy 00:59, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Course Map
Anybody have an idea on how we should go about this?--Balloonguy 22:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

So far Introduction to Japanese has been created which teaches kana and basic information. Beginner Japanese has lessons containing basic grammar such as verbs and adjectives. Now to proceed I was thinking that lessons could now be about a situation which would teach vocabulary about the situation and grammar related to it, but I do not know what possible learning activites can be related to it. One learning activity that is possible is to translate articles for Wikipedia but that would be an advanced level activity. Another activity is to make stroke order diagrams for kanji and another is to make wiktionary entries for requested words. But the first one requries knowledge of a graphics program and the second requires the ability to get a japanese dictionary. Any thoughts?--Balloonguy 17:38, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

well i think "bunkei" sentence patterns should be included as they are the part of JLPT (all levels).Secondly picture comprehensions should also be included as it helps in better undersatnding of situation and give learners a better insight of the subject.--ParagParag 06:38, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Can you explain what a bunkei sentence patterns sentance problem is, that is something I am not familiar with. And also, what level of the JLPT are you studying for?--Balloonguy 21:21, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Japanese/Practical_Lessons has a well thought out lesson plan. The French Japanese Wikibook also has good stuff we can use.

JLPT
It might be a good idea to make jlpt learning project in which participants make a guide book.--Balloonguy 17:38, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Changes
I hope nobody mines the new look of the topic page. It is based off the design of Topic:Spanish.--Balloonguy 20:58, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Dr Banda Shilimela

Dr. Banda Shilimela is a self-made Namibian billionaire, born on 07, March 1971 in Ekamba village, Oshigambo in Oshikoto region. He is born by meme Selma Nukongo Shilimela and Tate Noa Petrus Shilimela. As a child, he grew up looking after his parent’s livestock as well as doing other village chores. He enrolled kinder garden at Oshigambo in the year 1975, hence he only attended elementary school up until standard two. At the age of 10, he was associated with the People’s Liberation Army of Namibian (Plan) and helped Plan as a ‘child soldier cum messenger.’

After many encounters with the activities of Plan, he managed to access exile status to the then East Germany in 1982.

During the five-year sojourn in East Germany, Banda acquired the necessary skills and tactics to work at the front line of the Namibian freedom movement. His utmost commitment and engagement in search for freedom activities gained him trust and praise by his operational commanders. As a result, Banda earned a full time place as a sergeant in the Namibian Defense Force (NDF) at the turn of Namibia’s independence, despite his limited formal education.

Shilimela left the Namibian Defense Force and established a small security firm in Oshakati with the savings he had. He progressively transformed and expanded the security firm by covering all of Namibia and five other countries and created what is today a multi-sector business empire comprising of 14 companies. These include a fishing company with its own processing vessel, aviation with a fleet of helicopters to complement his security services in Namibia, Democratic Republic of Congo and Mozambique, a factory in China producing proprietary wireless Alarm systems, CCTV among others.

Candidate for Honorary Degree of Doctor of Business Administration (DBA - Hon. Causa)

The International University of Management (IUM) hosted a star-studded special graduation ceremony at its Dorado Park Campus in Windhoek in August 2016. The ceremony was held to hand over honorary degrees to three local entrepreneurs that have been making waves in their respective industries. The three candidates for the year 2016 were Banda Shilimela with Erastus Shikongo Shapumba, and Twapewa Kadhikwa. All three business people are said to have made great economic contributions to their various communities, with all three of them employing thousands of people among them.

Drosophila Sex Determination

Χɴ= Drosophila Sex Determination =

In Drosophila, sex is determined by the X:autosome ratio and is independent of the Y chromosome.

XX:AA = female

X:AA = male

XX:AAA = intersex; these individuals are sexual mosaics; individual cells are either fully female or fully male sex index ratio =1, normal demale =o.5, male >1, super female or meta female <0.5, super male or meta male between 0.5 to 1, intersex these are points to remember

Pathway Deduction from Genetics
Phenotype examination of double mutants establish the sex determination pathway:

dsx is epistatic to tra, tra-2, Sxl

dsx and ix are indistinguishable in females; ix is placed downstream because it only effects females.

tra and tra-2 are epistatic to Sxl but not distinguishable from each other

Sex Specific Lethality
Sxl and upstream genes effect dosage compensation, thus they result in sex-specific lethality instead of transformations.

X:autosome ratio is assessed early and then no longer needed. Once Sxl is activated, it is autoregulated in females, da, sis-a, and sis-b are only needed for initial signal first.

dsx
dsx can be alternatively spliced to give 2 RNAs differing at their 3' end (they use different splice acceptor sites.

Mutations in the splice acceptor of the female specific exon lead to default use of male-specific exons. Tra and tra-2 thus promote the female specific splice rather than inhibit the male specific splice.

tra
tra can be alternatively spliced to give sex-nonspecific RNA and female specific RNA

Non-specific RNA includes a stop codon and produces no active product. Its splicing is regulated by Sxl and unaffected by tra-2. Sxl blocks use of the non-specific acceptor site.

Sxl has no effect on tra-2 transcripts. Sxl exerts control of somatic sex solely by effects on tra.

Tra-2 is only functionally active in the presence of tra gene product. Active product of tra-2 has homology to RNA-binding domains of splicing factors.

Sxl
Like tra-2 the active product of Sxl has homology to RNA-binding domains of splicing factors. Early Sxl expression is from a different promoter which is sensitive to X:A ration. At later times, Sxl product made from this early promoter can prevent splicing to the male exon and allow the production of female-specific RNA.

sis-a and sis-b
Sis-a and sis-b function by counting X chromosomes. da and sis-b encode helix-loop-helix proteins which function as heterodimers. Da is supplied maternally in excess. Dosage of sis-b determines the amount of helix-loop-helix heterodimer that can bind to Sxl and activate it.

hairy
Hairy is another helix-loop-helix protein which, when bound to sis-b makes an inactive dimer. Sxl is no longer activated in the presence of hairy protein.

1902 Kansas Jayhawks football team

The 1902 Kansas Jayhawks football team was an American football team that represented the University of Kansas as an independent during the 1902 college football season. In their first and only season under head coach Arthur Hale Curtis, the Jayhawks compiled a 6–4 record and outscored opponents by a total of 108 to 93. The Jayhawks played home games at McCook Field in Lawrence, Kansas. W. D. Vincent was the team captain. They played the first game in the Sunflower Showdown against Kansas State on October 4, winning by a 16–0 score.

Grave stele (NAMA 7901)

The Attic Grave stele in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens (NAMA) with the inventory number 7901 is an archaic grave marker of a young Greek, which was made in the middle of the sixth century BC.

The original height of the grave monument is assumed to have been around 4.5 m. A sphinx probably sat on top. The surviving piece of the stele is 1.16 m high and up to 52 cm wide. The stele, which tapers at the top, is made of Parian marble. A great deal of red-brown paint survives in the background and on the hair. The stele was found in 1973 during excavation of the Themistoclean Wall in Athens and is dated to around the year 550–540.

The stele is only partially preserved. The lower part is missing from the hips, as is the very top. There is further damage to the head, hair and other details, but these do not spoil the impression that it is relatively well preserved. Small pieces broken off the head and right arm have been reconstructed. At its right and left edges, the stele was rimmed by two thin relief bands. The young man is depicted in profile, looking to the right, in the quiet, motionless pose typical of the Archaic period. He is naked and muscular, which creates a strong impression; the spear in the raised left hand marks him as an athlete. His right arm dangles at his side. His shoulder-length hair is gathered in locks, with chin length plaits between his eye and his ear. His hair is tied in place by a narrow band, covered at the front by his hair.

Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Quickie Model

In this module, you'll learn how to extrude and merge vertices of a mesh and how to save a model. This module also introduces the File Browser window type.

Your first model will be a house, which we will develop over the course of several modules. Here we will start with four walls and a pyramidal roof. Simple! Since you're going to use the default cube as a base, all you actually need to build is the roof!

Editing in Blender generally involves four steps:
 * 1) Selecting an object to edit.
 * 2) Activating Edit Mode on that object.
 * 3) Selecting part(s) of the object to act upon.
 * 4) Specifying the action(s) to be performed on those parts.

Bring up the Default Cube

This should give you a perspective view of a scene containing three objects:
 * 1) Launch Blender.
 * 2) Load the factory settings using File → Defaults → Load Factory Settings.
 * a cube,
 * a light source,
 * a camera.

Setting up the Viewport
It will be easier to work on the roof of your house in a perspective side view:
 * 1) Press  to switch to a "perfect" right side view.

"Right Persp" will be shown on the top left of the 3D View. The "up" direction in the scene is now "up" on your monitor as well.

It will also help to zoom in a bit:
 * 1) Make sure the 3D View window is active (which means your mouse cursor is in it).
 * 2)  or press  a few times until the cube is about 1/3 the height of the viewport.

Because you just loaded the factory defaults, the 3D transform manipulator will be enabled. For mesh editing, it will help to turn the manipulator off:
 * 1) Make sure the 3D View window is active.
 * 2) Press  to toggle the manipulator on or off.

Press once. This puts you into Edit Mode on the selected object, i.e. the cube.

Here's how the cube should look at this point:

The default cube is constructed as a mesh. Now that you're in Edit Mode, you can access the individual vertices, edges, and faces that make up the mesh. The default cube consists of eight vertices, twelve edges, and six faces.

Adjusting the Height
Right now, all eight vertices are selected, so any vertex edits you make will affect them all. For instance, if you were to move a vertex, the other seven vertices would follow. In order to build a roof peak for the house, you need to alter just the four top vertices of the cube. To do that, you must change the selection so that only those vertices are selected.

 * 1) Turn 'Occlude Background Geometry' off, so you can see all vertices. Note, in newer versions, this button is called "Limit Selection to Visible." It is one of the buttons to the right of transform orientation which is to the right of the mode select which should be currently set to "edit mode".
 * 2) Deselect the bottom four vertices, one by one, using.

The picture to the right shows the cube (in right perspective view and occlude background geometry "off") with the correct vertices selected.

Now you'll adjust the height of your house's ceiling. Activate the grab tool:
 * 1) Make sure Blender is in Edit Mode, with the relevant part(s) of the object selected.
 * 2) Make sure the 3D View window is active.
 * 3) Press.

The 3D View header will be replaced by numbers: "Dx: 0.0000 Dy: 0.0000 Dz: 0.0000 (0.0000)".

You want to lower the ceiling without making the walls crooked. This is hard to do freehand, but happily the grab tool provides an option for doing just that.

With the grab tool activated:
 * 1) Press to limit movement to the global Z-axis.

When your ceiling is the height you want, confirm the grab with (or ).

Extruding

Now you're going to "add on" to your house by extruding. Extrusion begins by duplicating selected parts of an object. Then the new parts are pulled away from the old ones, with new faces and edges created as necessary.

To add an attic to your house:

 * 1) Make sure Blender is in Edit Mode, with the top four vertices selected.
 * 2) Make sure the 3D View window is active.
 * 3) Press to activate the extrude tool.
 * 4) Restrict movement to the Z axis and move the mouse pointer upward.
 * 5) When the attic is the height you want, confirm the extrude with or.
 * 6) Keep the extrusion visible: you will need it for the next exercise.

Merging

You can change the roof from a flat one to a pyramidal one by merging the vertices of the roof:

 * 1) Make sure that you still have the extruded roof from the previous exercise visible.
 * 2) Make sure Blender is in Edit Mode, with the four top-most vertices selected.
 * 3) Make sure the 3D View window is active.
 * 4) Press  to bring up the Specials menu.
 * 5) Select Merge. (You can also access this by pressing +.)
 * 6) The Merge menu should pop up, select At center.

A message should appear on the Info header saying that 3 vertices have been deleted, this is because in order to merge four vertices into one, three vertices must be deleted.

Saving your Work

We will be developing the house in later modules, so save your work now. To save the current scene in a  file:
 * 1) Press  (or select File → Save As).  The active window temporarily changes into a File Browser window.
 * 2) Navigate to the directory (folder) where you want to write the file by clicking  on directory names in the File Browser window.  (Clicking on ".." will take you up one level.)
 * 3) If you wish to name the file something other than "untitled.blend", type a filename in the text box to the left of the "Cancel" button.  (The .blend suffix will be added automatically.)
 * 4) Click  on the "Save As Blender File" button.  As soon as the save operation is complete, the window will automatically revert to its former type.

Saving Further Changes
Once you have saved your work to a file for the first time, you can save subsequent changes to the same file name by pressing and confirming you want to overwrite the existing file.

Kristiansand Naval Air Station

Kristiansand Naval Air Station (Marinens flystasjon Kristiansand) was a water military air base operated by the Royal Norwegian Navy Air Service between 1919 and 1940. Situated at Tangen in the city center of Kristiansand, Norway, it consisted of three hangars. The station was to house both reconnaissance and fighter aircraft.

History
A 1916 plan of the Naval Air Service called for the establishment of five naval air stations, one of which would be located near Kristiansand. It was given the highest priority and became the second such facility in Norway, after Karljohansvern Naval Air Station. The Royal Norwegian Navy investigated the city's surroundings and identified two suitable locations, Karantenebukta on Odderøya and the city center. The latter was located on the site of a Norwegian Army base. The site was selected on 6 August 1917. This allowed the Norwegian Army Air Service to establish a rudimentary runway.

Construction commenced in early 1918 and consisted of three hangars, two for the Navy and one for the Army. By June work was sufficient for the air station to be taken into use. It was commissioned on 20 June and the first exercise started on 1 July. The last hangar was completed on 22 April 1919. There was a proposal in 1921 to build a third naval hangar, but lack of funding torpedoed the proposal.

The air station was initially led by a first lieutenant who was also a pilot, and manned with four conscripted pilots, four conscripted mechanics, a joint chief mechanic and accountant, and a support staff of ten. The station was to carry out operations including participation in exercises through machine gun shooting, dropping of dummy bombs and dummy mines, aerial photography, reconnaissance along the coast from Farsund to Arendal, and radiotelegraphy. For this the air station was equipped with three Sopwith Camel fighters and two Marinens Flyvebaatfabrikk M.F.2 reconnaissance aircraft.

The air station was a summer-only base. It was initially manned from mid-May through late September. For the 1920 season it was set up for coastal flights from Karljohansvern. Later years it was set up for refresher training. It acted in this capacity until 1926. The station was not used for two seasons, before being revamped in 1929 and 1930. The second hangar was rebuilt in 1933 to increase its height. This allowed it to hold a Marinens Flyvebaatfabrikk M.F.11 aircraft. It was manned for refresher training in 1935. From 28 August 1939 the station was reactivated for use by the First Air Flight for neutrality duty.

Civilian airlines used the airport three times for trial flights. Norsk Luftseiladsforening carried out a trial scheduled service between Horten and Kristiansand to the Netherlands in 1924. Three years later they also carried out flights to England. Norske Luftruter carried out sporadic flights from 1928.

Starting in late 1932 Kristiansand Municipality asked that the airport be moved out of the city center. They proposed Kongsgårdsbukta in Topdalsfjorden, a site which would from 1934 host the civilian Kristiansand Airport, Kongsgårdbukta. The Naval Air Service agreed, but of different reasons. At high tide and onshore wind the water level could be half a meter above the floor level in the first hangar. The military proposed moving the station to Bragdøya. Meanwhile, Kristiansand Airport, Kjevik was being planned and opened in 1939. By then the Naval Air Service proposed that a new station would be built at Andøya and planning of this started. However, the Ministry of Defense instead wanted the air station situated at Kjevik. Nothing came of either plan until the German occupation in 1940. Luftwaffe opted to build a water aerodrome at Kjevik and closed the naval air station.

Facilities
Kristiansand Naval Air Station was located at Tangen in downtown Kristiansand on the shoreline between the streets of Elvegaten and Kronprinsens gate. This was a lot which was owned by the Army and was used for refresh training. The site had three hangars, one for land aircraft and two for seaplanes. The seaplane hangars measured 23 by and were initially 7.6 m tall. The station also had a barracks, a fuel storage, a coal storage and a series of smaller buildings.

Welcome to all of you who have chosen to follow this page and the technology that is being developed & demonstrated here. I look forward to collaborating with you as we work to prove out this capability and finally birth it into the world.

Those of you who demonstrate a certain level of honesty, loyalty, contribution engagement and general value-add could be chosen for the Beta-Team. (A select group who will test out the systems, tweak and adjust before full open source release.)

This project will be broken up into 2 primary phases:

Phase 1 will be building and proving the Kalabaw CNC machine itself as a G-Code driving platform. Commissioning the hardware and software, etc.

Phase 2 will be building the metal printing modifications, the power systems, power controllers & regulators, PWM's & Variac as well as the fully automatic redundant safety systems.

The metal printing process will be direct feed just like the plastic printing process. The melt process will not be disclosed for community involvement until after the first prototype is built and working. The Beta team will again take over to assist with commissioning and fine tuning leading up to open-source release.

Ground Rules: Please no negative posts, flaming and baiting will not be tolerated. Repeat offense is an automatic ban.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, professional or unprofessional. Hate posting is an automatic ban.

Intolerance and racist or sexist content will result in an automatic ban. Everyone here is making costly investment of their time and effort to this project and should be treated with mutual respect, regardless of background and/or history.

Please no off-topic discussions on politics, guns, religion or sports. There are other groups on Facebook for these discussions, this is not the place for them.

NO Product promotions (Other than technology selection discussions, firmware, flow meters, etc...) NO Spamming

Professional criticism and open mindedness to alternative methods is what should be the guiding principles behind this group. This is no easy technology to build and will require the best minds to solve through the most ingenious out-of-the-box thinking that can be mustered!!

I look forward to working with all of you!

About me
I've been a long term reader of Wikipedia but never a contributor. I've decided to join because of my frustration with poorly written articles. I expect that the majority of my contributions will be as a member of the Grammar and Spelling Police, but I also get irritated by clumsy phrases, NPOV violations and missing (or dodgy) citations.

I have an unusually wide range of interests and experience. My areas of expertese are music and computer science, but I have knowledge and skills in many other areas including education, disability, politics, physics, philosophy, religion and more.

I am firmly anarchist, and believe in encouragement rather than enforcement. I tell the truth as I see it, and am willing to be corrected when I'm wrong. However I also have pretty poor social skills, so please forgive me when I inevitably offend somebody.

Computer Programming/Structured programming

Overview
Structured programming is the suggested antidote to unstructured programming, which existed for decades before Structured programming was invented.

In the beginning, there was UN-structured programming
An unstructured program is a procedural program – the statements are executed in sequence as written. But this type of programming uses the goto statement. A goto statement allows control to be passed to any other place in the program. When a goto statement is executed, the sequence continues from the target of the goto. Thus to understand how a program works, you have to pretend to execute it. This means that it is often difficult to understand the logic of such a program. Some program compilers cross-index where a goto connects to, making it practical to rapidly navigate the source code. However, it was a common practice in some programming languages to use a variable in association with where the goto goes, making automated indexing impractical. There are similar problems in some structured programming languages, such as how foreign language views are implemented, to permit many people to view the same computer data, in their human language.

This contrasts with the idea of using some form of abstraction to understand how a program works - as in structured programming.

For this reason, it was suggested by Dijkstra that the goto statement should be banned.

Structured programming
In one view, structured programming is programming that avoids using the potentially dangerous goto statement. This prevents potentially confusing transfers of control. Many structured programming languages support the goto statement, which can be used in a structured manner. For example, to exit to the end of a routine, or return to the beginning of a loop.

In another view, structured programming confines itself to using control structures having only one entry point and one exit point. The most important of these structures are sequence, selection (if and if..else) and repetition (while).

Yet another view is that structured programs are programs written in such a way that they can be understood easily using abstraction. Abstraction means being able to understand the overall purpose of some code without understanding the detail. A prime mechanism for abstraction is the procedure (method). But the above-mentioned single-entry single-exit structures also help in using abstraction.

Structured programming was made possible by high-level languages and packages of related programs, that could be flow charted with software diagramming techniques understandable to non-programmers.

The Inventors
A few computer scientists were responsible for discovering the idea of Structured Programming, and communicating this notion to the world of other programmers. Structured programming was first embodied in the ALGOL (Algorithmic Language) language (which became the first high-level language used for systems programming in the Burroughs B5000 MCP (OS), (designed by Bob Barton, later a professor at the University of Utah, where he influenced a student Alan Kay who invented the GUI window and was one of the developers of Smalltalk). In turn, ALGOL became the basis of Simula, the first object-oriented language.

ALGOL was based on a language design formalism called BNF (Backus-Naur Form) after its originators John Backus and Peter Naur.

The landmark book in the technique was "Structured Programming" (Academic Press 1972), which contained three sections: "Notes on Structured Programming" by Edsger W. Dijkstra, "Notes on Data Structuring" by C.A.R. Hoare, and "Hierarchical Program Structures" by Ole-Johan Dahl and C.A.R Hoare. The last section introduced Simula and its object-oriented and concurrency features.

Edsgar Djikstra also wrote the book "A Discipline of Programming" (Prentice Hall, 1976).

Another luminary in the structured programming world is Donald Knuth who wrote the multi-volume "The Art of Computer Programming".

Later a book called "Structured Design" was written by Ed Yourdon and Larry Constantine, which many consider is structured programming, but it is not. This was a graphical technique which was extremely tedious in practice, and although mostly abandoned has successors in other non-formal approaches such as UML. The technique outlined in Structured Design and Structured Programming are very different and should not be confused because they share the word Structured.

1927 Kansas Jayhawks football team

The 1927 Kansas Jayhawks football team represented the University of Kansas in the Missouri Valley Conference during the 1927 college football season. In their second and final season under head coach Franklin Cappon, the Jayhawks compiled a 3–4–1 record (3–3–1 against conference opponents), finished in fifth place in the conference, and were outscored by opponents by a combined total of 146 to 89. They played their home games at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kansas; the stadium's capacity was increased to 35,000 in 1927 with completion of the north bowl. Barrett Hamilton was the team captain.
