Robotics/Design Basics/Tools and Equipment

You can't build a robot without at least a few tools. This page will cover some of the tools and equipment that'll be useful.

Mechanical Tool
For building your robot you'll need some tools to form the body.

 * 1) Small vise: you'll need not need this.
 * 2) Hammer: A hammer is one of the standard tools you'll need.
 * 3) Screwdrivers & Wrenches: their uses are obvious.  Two spanners of equal size are required for lock-nutting.
 * 4) Saw: Metal and wood saws. Miter saws can be very handy, but are pretty expensive. A miter box might suffice for many purposes.
 * 5) Square, measuring tape, scribe and other marking out tools.
 * 6) Vernier calipers: Allow very accurate marking out and measurement.  Also can be used to check thread pitch on machine screws without a dedicated pitch gauge.
 * 7) Files: especially when working with metal, as rough metal edges are sharp.
 * 8) Center Punch: Essential for accurate drilling of holes in metal to prevent the drill skating over the surface.
 * 9) Drill Press: (small table top versions suffice) is very handy for drilling accurate holes.  Can also provide the low speeds for drilling large holes in metal, which hand drills cannot do easily.
 * 10) Hobby Tool: Useful for many purposes.
 * 11) Sharp utility knives: Mostly used when working with plastics.
 * 12) Hot glue guns: handy for quickly mounting parts. Not too strong bound, but useful for many applications.
 * 13) Arc Welder: Only useful when working with thick steel on large projects (use a gas welding torch for thin metal;arc welders tend to burn holes right through the work-piece). Aluminium cannot be welded with ordinary welders. (Unless you have a MIG/MAG or TIG welder available)
 * 14) Paint stripper/Electric Heat Gun: like a hairdryer on steroids. Useful for bending plastics, also applying heat-shrink tubing to electric cables at low power.
 * 15) Safety Goggles: You only get one pair of eyes, and machine tools are potentially dangerous.  Safety goggles are essential for using anything other than hand tools.

Soldering iron
The soldering iron is a very useful tool for assembling electronic circuits and connecting copper wires together.

For electronic circuits you'll need a light soldering iron (~25W) with a small point (shaped like a pencil point). Especially SMD components require small points (or even better: special SMD soldering points). Soldering electronic components is done with "soft soldering": with a low temperature (less than 300°C). Usually for electronics the melting point of the solder lays around 238°C. When buying solder choose for a solder wire (60% lead, 40% tin) with non-corrosive flux. (There is also "eutectic solder" - 63% lead, 37% tin, which transitions from liquid to solid immediately, with no plastic state in between.) Take the thinnest wire you can find (<=1mm).

See this page for an in depth explanation of soldering electronic components.

For connecting metal wires you'll need something more powerful (30W-100W) like a soldering pistol, but an ordinary soldering iron would do just as well. Note: not all materials are as good to solder. Copper is easy to solder and has a reasonable strong bond. Aluminum has a weak bond.

For stronger connections it's better to braze instead of soft soldering. Brazing involves higher temperatures (typical between 450°C and 1000°C) and different flux ("Borax") and solder (copper and zinc or silver alloys) it also requires a welding torch instead of a soldering iron. see this online book for more in depth information on brazing.

If you need even more strength you could use welding. However welding is only used for heavy materials like steel alloys and these are in most cases too heavy to be used in robots (unless you're building a very big or industrial robot). Aluminum can be welded but it isn't as simple as welding steel alloys. See this site for basic welding information.

Breadboard
The boards allow you to build a temporary circuit in no time. Especially handy for testing new circuits. Connections are made with either ordinary thin stiff wire with the insulation removed at the ends or with special breadboard wires with stronger tips. Wires with crocodile clamps are needed for hooking up signal generator, oscilloscope, DMM, etc. Larger boards have connectors (typically banana plugs) for the power supply.

There are small breadboards with an adhesive strip at the bottom. These can be mounted on an empty part of a microcontroller board and can be used to build small circuits.
 * Note: when you build a sensitive analog circuit on a breadboard, it can behave differently than when it's build as a PCB. This is because of parasitic components: the wires connecting the components on the board act as a combination of a resistor, capacitor and coil (all with very low values). Keep in mind that in some circumstances this can affect the working of a circuit. Usually this is only a problem when working with low amplitudes and/or high frequencies.

Electronic Equipment

 * Multimeter: measures voltage, current & resistance. Many can measure transistor and diode characteristics, frequency and capacity. Some can measure temperature or light intensity.
 * Note: measuring voltage and current of a AC source isn't as simple as measuring DC levels. But since robots rarely use AC this would be out of the scope.
 * Oscilloscope: makes a electric signal visible. Very useful when working with more complicated electronic circuits, especially analog signals and data communication. Oscilloscopes exist as stand-alone devices or as add-on modules for PCs. The latter provides extra abilities like spectrum analysing and recording of signals.
 * Variable power supplies: power supplies with variable output. Either AC or DC. Either the output voltage or current can be regulated, although most power supplies let you set a max current.
 * Signal generators: generates different shapes of signals (sine, square, saw and triangle), with variable frequency (1Hz up to 100MHz) and amplitude.
 * Logic probe: pen-like devices that detect logic levels (either TTL or CMOS). Most can detect pulse signals. Very handy when working with digital electronic circuits.
 * Frequency meters: measures the frequency of a signal. Can also be used as a pulse counter. Oscilloscopes can be used for measuring frequency, and storage scopes can freeze a waveform onscreen allowing pulses to be manually counted, but frequency meters are a good investment if this needs to be done very often.
 * LEDs: An underrated test device for digital circuits. LEDs are far better than voltmeters for digital circuits in some situations, as you can see many input and output values concurrently, without connecting a multitude of voltmeters or constantly checking everything with a logic probe. In particular, they can instantly show the status of several logic signals simultaneously, impossible with a logic probe.  Good breadboard building practice also includes an LED for each breadboard to show it is powered up correctly - this can help avoid the potentially frustrating situation of faultfinding a logic circuit that is actually sound, but has an intermittent or noisy power supply.  It's also an excellent indicator if a component is short-circuiting at any time during operation, as the LED will likely dim or go out.

Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDC)
Assembling parallel ribbon cables from ribbon and the IDC connectors:

Practical tips:

connectors you’re using, remove them from the side furthest from the ink stripe so it’s still present on the cable. helps guide you when you’re mating the cable connectors with those on the equipment, knowing that the stripe corresponds with pin 1.
 * 1) Note that IDC ribbon cable is usually not provided with multicoloured or ‘rainbow’ insulation, but with single-colour insulation — usually grey or white. However it also has a stripe of coloured ink or paint (red or black) down one side, to guide you with connector orientation. If you need to strip away some of the wires of a multi-way cable to suit the IDC
 * 1) It’s usual to fit IDC connectors to the cable so their pin 1 end is on the stripe side of the ribbon. This also
 * 1) Before clamping an IDC connector to a ribbon cable, make sure that the cable grooves are aligned with the contact jaw tips and that they are also aligned with the scallops moulded into the underside of the clamping strip.
 * 2) Make sure too that the connector pin/jaw axis is as close as possible to 90° with respect to the ribbon cable wire axes. If the connector/ribbon angle is not close to 90°, some connections may not be made properly. If the connector is being fitted at the end of a ribbon cable, cutting the end of the ribbon cleanly square first will allow you to use it as a guide.
 * 3) Try to squeeze the IDC connector and its clamping strip together as evenly as possible, so they remain as close as possible to parallel with each other during the operation. This too ensures that all joints are made correctly. The easiest way to squeeze them together evenly is by using a small machine vice or a special compound-action clamping tool.
 * 4) If an IDC connector has a second cable clamping strip, don’t attempt to fit this as part of the main assembly. Assemble the main parts of the connector first on the ribbon cable, and only then fit the second clamping strip.
 * 5) When you are bending the ribbon cable around before fitting the second clamping strip, don’t pull it hard. This may loosen some of the connections inside the IDC connector. Just bend the ribbon around gently — a small amount of slack won’t do any harm, and may in fact protect the IDC connections from strain.

Practical uses:

A common IDC cable in use is an IDC D9 socket to IDC 2 by 5 header socket. This cable is often used to connect a PC serial (RS232) port to a microcontroller development board. On the board there will be a 2 by 5 pin header.

RJ45 network connector
These are the connectors used on UTP network cables. A smaller version (RJ11) is used for telephones. You need a crimping tool to attach the connector to the cable. These connectors are very useful for hooking up different PCB with each other. A good use for RJ45 connectors is for making serial (RS232) programming cables for small embedded systems (many credit card terminals use a DB9 to RJ45 cable to download software from a PC during development). If you are building small embedded controller boards an RJ45 can be a handy connector size to use.

Gloria Vitanza Basile

Gloria Vitanza Basile (June 29, 1929 –  September 29, 2004) was an American novelist and songwriter.

She was born in Westfield, New York in 1929 to Sicilian immigrant parents. She studied at San Jose University and at UCLA. Before she began her writing career, she owned and managed a women's clothing shop. She published 13 best-selling novels, mainly romantic thrillers and later science fiction. She also wrote the song, "Ballad of One-Eyed Jacks," for the film, One-Eyed Jacks (1961), starring Marlon Brando.

Her best known novel is The Godson (1976), later renamed House of Lions, about a Mafia family; at the time, this was an unusual topic for women writers. In an interview, Basile said her childhood experiences with prejudice against Sicilians inspired her to research her roots, and resulted in The Godson and another novel, Appassionato (1978), set in post-war Sicily. She published two novels under the pen name Michaela Morgan.

Indeed Tower

Indeed Tower is an office skyscraper located at 200 West Sixth Street in Downtown Austin, Texas. The tower is the eighth tallest in Austin at 542 feet. It is the second largest office tower in Austin at 709,000 total square feet as well as the second tallest, behind Block 185. Indeed Tower is made up of a 683,000-square-foot Class AA office tower with two rooftop terraces and ground floor retail, a historic 1914 post office repurposed as a 25,000 square-foot retail and restaurant destination, and a 20,000 square-foot urban greenspace. There are five levels of underground parking and 12 floors of above-ground parking as part of the structure.

History
Block 71 was a 1.75-acre downtown site owned by the University of Texas and bordered by West Seventh, Colorado, West Sixth and Lavaca Streets. It contained Claudia Taylor Johnson Hall, which was built as a post office in 1914 and later converted to university office space. The building was renamed for President Lyndon B. Johnson's wife in 1970. The nine-story Ashbel Smith Hall was constructed on the site in 1974 as administrative offices for the University of Texas System. Ashbel Smith Hall was replaced by a new UT System Headquarters Building at 210 West Seventh Street, and was then demolished in the largest implosion in Austin history on March 25, 2018.

Beginning in 2015, the University of Texas sought plans from developers for a new office tower on the Block 71 site and decided on Trammell Crow Company. Trammell Crow and architect Page came up with a design for a new 36-story office tower and complex that integrates the historic Claudia Taylor Johnson Hall. The glass street-level design on the south side of the tower is intended to maximize views of the former post office from all angles, with a large setback that doesn't obscure the original building. The two structures are connected through the post office's former loading dock on its eastern side, leading into the office tower's large open lobby.

On May 17, 2018, Indeed announced that it had signed a lease to occupy the top 10 floors as part of its plan to hire an additional 3,000 employees in Austin. It was later announced that Indeed had purchased the naming rights to the building, giving it the official name of Indeed Tower instead of Block 71.

Construction of the Indeed Tower concluded in May 2021 and was purchased by Kilroy Realty on June 16, 2021, for $580 million.

Talk:List of clinical psychologists

Untitled
Why Freud? Sigmund was a psychiatrist, not psychologist. Anna did not have any advanced degree to speak of. Of course, I realize that this was before the days (daze?!?) of accreditation and graduate programs - but still - would she really qualify as a "clinical psychologist?" Theguyinblue 20:31, 2 Aug 2007

I've removed Gordon Allport from the list. He's a social psychologist, not clinical. You may argue that some of his contributions are useful for clinical psychology, but that doesn't make him a clinical psychologist. If some of his contributions had also aided in some way to forensic psychology, for example, that wouldn't make him a forensic psychologist either. If you wanna make another page with psychologists who've aided or somehow contributed to the development of clinical psychology, it'd be different. Raystorm 12:36, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Allport saw clients in addition to writing and teaching. He should be listed as a social psychologist but ALSO as a clinical psychologist (he worked with people in a clinical setting doing psychology).  They are not mutually exclusive.  Steve 15:18, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

 * He did? I was not aware of this. Did he see them in a clinical setting? If so, I remove my objection. Cheers Raystorm 18:32, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I thought he did, but I can't remember why I thought that and I've gone out on the web and it looks like it might have been a figment of my imagination. Sorry.  Steve 23:47, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I've removed Philip Zimbardo, he is also a social psychologist, not clinical. Zfranco 07:25, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I restored Zimbardo. He worked with clients, i.e., in a clinical setting.  That makes him a clinical psychologist and it doesn't matter that he is also a social psychologist - the two are not mutally exclusive.Steve 15:13, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Removed I. Pavlov, not a clinical psychologist in the traditional sense. I think he fits better in other categories. Zfranco 07:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Did he ever work in a clinical setting or only research and teaching?Steve 15:13, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Steve, I agree that they are not mutually exclusive, but in general, if he was working with clients it was with practising or research clinical psychologists present. Although he did hold a license until recently, I don't think he thinks of himself as a clinical psychologist. Both Zimbardo and Pavlov get at my question of how we define a clinical psychologist. By primary occupation? By holding a license to practise clinical psychology? By saying they are a therapist? Is an experimental psychologist whose findings have clinical application then also included in this list as a clinical psychologist because they have worked in a clinical setting? Zfranco 19:10, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Carl Jung perhaps? — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:14, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Article Selection
Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Environmental engineering

 * Article Evaluation
 * It covers the basics of 'what is Environmental Engineering', but the article fails to analyse the environmental issues that these engineers are seeking to solve, some of which were mentioned in the Lead.
 * It also fails to explain the licensing and registration requirements that these engineers must fulfill. Lastly, the Application sub-section is too bare-bone, and could use more research.
 * Overall, the Lead is detailed, but the rest of the article is lacking.

 * Sources

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Reverse logistics

 * Article Evaluation
 * The article explains the clearly explains the concept of reverse logistics. This strength is encompassed in the well-written business implications sub-section.
 * However, anything past the basic theory is lacking, since real-world applications and problems of reverse logistics is ill-explored in their respective sub-sections.

 * Sources

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Sustainable packaging

 * Article Evaluation
 * The Lead is too detailed for a mere summary, so some of the evidence needs to be moved to their respective sub-sections.
 * The wording also has a biased feel to it, so I believe it can be re-worded to be more neutral.
 * Lastly, certain things mentioned in the Lead such as 'vague marketing titles' isn't further explored in the rest of the article, so the rest of the article needs to be fleshed out.

Stop the Killing KC

Stop The Killing KC is a community improvement organization in Kansas City, Missouri patterned after "stop the violence/stop the killing" movements in other large American cities, urged since 1985 by Minister Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam movement, and drawing on lessons learned in past decades by many other community improvement organizations such as urban development programs in various U.S. Cities and evangelical or social outreach programs of various churches, religions or groups.

History
The Kansas City organization became unofficially established with a Declaration of Unity signed by Nation of Islam Student Minister Vincent Muhammad, Pastor Tony R. Caldwell of Community United KC, Kenneth "Sasteh Meter" Mosley of EMWOT (East Meets West of Troost), and more than three dozen other community improvement activists on September 17, 2011.

After several meetings and discussions in ensuing weeks, Pastor Caldwell, Captain Muhammad, Sasteh Meter Mosley, and other community leaders met at the Bruce R. Watkins Cultural Heritage Center on Feb. 11, 2012 and called for all interested persons to meet the following Saturday, February 18, and create a working organization. On March 3, 2012, an organizational meeting elected officers, including a President and Vice-President, but in mid-May policy disagreements among officers resulted in that organizational structure being abandoned for a seven-member Advisory Council. Stop The Killing KC was formally incorporated on March 14, 2012, with a dedicatory "open house" April 7, 2012. In flyers publicizing the event, Stop the Killing KC lists more than seventy "partners" as being supportive in a "Stop The Killing KC Coalition":

 * A Newly Adopted Cleanup, Aldi's, Amen Par Ankh, Amen Ankh Urban Farm, American Indian Council, Aim for Peace, Black United Front, C&A Contracting, C.A.C., CASA Veterans Institute, Inc.., The Chess Club, Church of Christ, City of Kansas City, New Community United KC, COOL Wayne, C.U.M.F.H. Property, Durham & Williams, EMWOT(East Meets West of Troost), Eternal Life Church & Family Life Center, Fade N Aces, First Time Correctional Services of KC, FOCUSED, Green Griot, Habitat for Humanity, Happy Foods Grocery, Heart of America Ministries, Help ALL, Inc., Hip Hop Community, Infidelity Annihilators, Inc., Kansas City Fire Dept., Kansas City Parks & Recreation, KC Helping Hands, KCPD, KD Construction, Key Coalition, King Richard, L.I.N.K., Littlejohn for Sheriff, Man Up Program, Mazuma Credit Union, Morning Star Baptist Church, My Brother's Keeper, NAU, Occupy KC, PeaceKeepers, Penny Mill, Pinnacle Career Institute, Price Chopper, R.E. Bishop Construction, Inc., Roxann Grocia, Samuel Rogers, Save A Child, Save Tomorrow's Outstanding People, Second Chance Program, Servants for Jesus, Simply Designed, Swope Health Services, S.T.O.P., Teola Powell, Troost Fest, Tycor Community Development Corp., TSD Sound, The Church of Jesus Christ, The Nation of Islam Mosque 30, PLAN, The Salvation Army, Truly Concerned Youth & Adults, Underground Railroad, Urban Life Ministry, Urban Work Force, Vatterott College, Voices of the People, Whatsoever Community Center, Women in Motion, Wonder Bread, Women's Coalition, Youth Wagon Productions.

Activities
Activities the group has encouraged or sponsored include vigils and funerals for deceased victims of violence, crime investigation, distributing flyers at busy intersections, canvassing crime-hit neighborhoods, voter registration drives, daily and nightly classes, Study Groups, like- Literacy for youth and adults, Health and Wellness awareness and food program, feeding youth and children through the summer and after school, urban agriculture, vocational green career opportunities and seminars, participation in events such as Kansas City's Troost Festival on April 28, 2012; the annual Convoy of Hope festival on June 16, 2012 and so forth. On the afternoon of July 1, 2012, the STK-KC held a "3 on 3" basketball tournament, Missouri State Representative Brandon Ellington participated, and Kansas City's Chief of Police Darryl Forte visited, as well as other community leaders and basketball players and fans from around the city. On July 29, 2012, STK-KC hosted a second 3 on 3 tournament "Shoot Baskets- Not Bullets!", and scheduled two basketball events for every month throughout the summer of 2012.

Incidents
On May 14, 2012 a Kansas City woman named Andrea Shields was murdered and her body then set on fire. Stop the Killing KC and other anti-violence organizations held vigils for and coordinated funeral arrangements for Shields. The funeral was scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday, May 26, 2012. Shortly after 4 a.m. that morning, a drive-by shooter fired eight bullets toward Stop the Killing KC's headquarters building, seven rounds lodging in a vehicle parked in front of the building, one round chipping siding near the building's "Stop the Killing KC" sign. Allegedly, someone phoned Kansas City's "Tips Hotline" the day before, and demanded that Stop the Killing KC '"back off from the Andrea Shields investigation"'. Because Stop The Killing KC is a "Crime Prevention" and pro-Civil Rights organization, Federal Law Enforcement agencies are investigating the incident along with Kansas City police.

2019 Dutch Basketball Supercup

The 2019 Dutch Basketball Supercup was the 8th edition of the Dutch Basketball Supercup. The game was played in the Landstede Sportcentrum in Zwolle for the first time.

The game featured Landstede Hammers, the first-time defending champions of the 2018–19 Dutch Basketball League, and ZZ Leiden, the winners of the 2018–19 NBB Cup.

Hammers won the game and secured its second Supercup title.

Background
It was the re-match of the 2018–19 NBB Cup final, which was also played in the Landstede Sportcentrum and was won by Leiden, 69–87. Landstede Hammers came off its first national title in club history and saw most of its players returning. The team strengthened itself with two new Americans, Jordan Johnson and Martez Walker. Mohamed Kherrazi was acquired from Leiden. Kherrazi played his first game against his former team. Leiden entered the Supercup as national cup winners and added five new foreign players in the offseason.

Match details
Landstede led comfortably for most of the game after a 23–15 start. After a halftime score of 48–31, Leiden managed to cut the deficit but never came close to a win. Johnson set an all-time record for most points in a Supercup game with 26.

Plot
In 1868, while the Cuban War of Independence develops, Gaston de Montero (Juan Orol), a noble Spanish knight, rescues a young girl named Siboney (María Antonieta Pons) and helps her become a successful dancer. Over time, she discovers that she is the daughter of a prominent aristocrat.

Cast

 * María Antonieta Pons ... Siboney
 * Juan Orol ... Gastón de Montero
 * Chela Castro ... Caridad
 * Luisa María Morales ... Ligia
 * Oscar Lombardo ... Ricardo
 * Celina ... Santerian

Reviews
Siboney is the first film by the Spanish director Juan Orol with his second film muse, María Antonieta Pons. With Mexican production, the film was shot in Cuba, inspired by the theme song Siboney of Ernesto Lecuona. For this film were used scenes of the Galician Center of Havana. The motto of this film was a distinct Cuban film. Siboney was considered the first film of the called Rumberas film of the Golden Age of Mexican cinema.

SPM/Faster SPM

Adjusting SPM settings
A defaults variable called maxmem indicates how much memory can be used at the same time during GLM estimation. If your computer has a large amount of RAM, you can increase that memory setting in spm_defaults.m:

defaults.stats.maxmem  = 2^30;

 * 2^32 = 4GB
 * 2^31 = 2GB
 * 2^30 = 1GB
 * 2^29 = 512MB

In SPM12, there is another defaults variable called resmem governing whether temporary files during GLM estimation are stored on disk (false) or kept in memory (true). If you have enough available RAM, not writing the files to disk will speed the estimation.

defaults.stats.resmem  = true;

Compiling the MEX files
The compiled MEX files provided with SPM are built in such a way to be compatible with most platforms and MATLAB versions but you might benefit from compiling them for your exact platform/MATLAB version - some C compilers might also produce better optimised binaries (such as Intel Compilers). See the installation pages for more details on how to recompile SPM MEX files.

General statements
Maximizing MATLAB Performance.

Note that it is not recommended to disable the JAVA Virtual Machine when launching MATLAB (matlab -nojvm). If you don't want to use the MATLAB desktop, you can preferably launch MATLAB with: matlab -nodesktop

When using Matlab in 'nodesktop' mode, initialise SPM in the following manner to prevent graphics windows from opening:

(Substituting 'fmri' for 'pet' or 'eeg' as appropriate.)

Multithreading
Recent MATLABs support implicit multiprocessing allowing to run multiple threads on a single machine without any change to the MATLAB code itself: this requires a multiple CPU (multiprocessor or multicore) system. The gain in compute time with SPM is not dramatic though.

See:
 * https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/maxnumcompthreads.html

If you run many MATLAB sessions in parallel to manually distribute your SPM processings, it is recommended to set the number of computational threads to one.

Updating BLAS/LAPACK
Install the latest Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines (BLAS)/Linear Algebra PACKage (LAPACK) for your system, as MATLAB doesn't ship the latest version in its releases. The main choices are between: For more information on how to upgrade your MATLAB libraries with ATLAS/MKL, see:
 * BLAS
 * LAPACK
 * ATLAS - Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software (open source)
 * MKL - Intel Math Kernel Library
 * ACML - AMD Core Math Library

Paroedura neglecta

Paroedura neglecta is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae. It was first discovered in 2006, but the species was not named until 2019, hence the specific name meaning "neglected". It is endemic to Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in northwestern Madagascar.

Taxonomy
The holotype specimen of Paroedura neglecta is an adult male collected on 1 April 2006 from Andafiabe at the Beboka River, in the Melaky region of western Madagascar. Although the specimen was recognized as an unnamed species shortly after its discovery, it was not described until 13 years later in May 2019, thus it was given the specific name neglecta (Latin for "neglected").

Genetic analysis has found that Paroedura neglecta is a member of the Paroedura bastardi clade, and is a sister taxon to Paroedura tanjaka. The following cladogram shows the position of P. neglecta among its closest relatives according to Piccoli et al. (2023):

Distribution and habitat
This gecko is currently known from only two localities, both within Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in northwestern Madagascar, and the species may be widespread within the park. It is believed to be endemic to this area as it has not been observed outside of it, and numerous other reptile species in the park are also endemic to it. These two localities are approximately 12 kilometers apart from each other, and both represent karstic dry forests. Three individuals have been collected close to rivers, two of which were near the bed of the Beboka River. Several congeneric species are sympatric with Paroedura neglecta, including P. homalorhina, P. tanjaka, P. karstophila, P. spelaea and P. stumpffi.

Description
All collected specimens of Paroedura neglecta were found at night, indicating this species is mostly or entirely nocturnal. The holotype individual has a snout–vent length of 61.3 mm, with a triangular head measuring 20.8 mm long, 14.6 mm wide and 9.2 mm tall. The head is wider than the neck and body, with a vertical slit as the ear opening. The rostral scale is rectangular in shape, much wider than it is tall, and makes contact with the nostril.

Enlarged tuberculate scales are present on the dorsal surface and arranged in longitudinal rows. The dorsal scales of the front limbs are mostly flat, whereas those of the hind limbs are mainly keeled and tuberculate. Each digit is widened at the tip, with a downward-curving claw between the terminal pads. The tail similarly has primarily tuberculate scales.

The dorsal colors are mainly reddish-brown, with reticulated patterns on the head and regularly-spaced light crossbands on the torso. The iris is a golden color, with a reddish area surrounding the pupil and a vessel running down the posterior of the iris, visible as a red-brown stripe. Slightly marbled grey and beige patterns are present on the limbs. The underside of this lizard is whitish with a fine grey shade.

Conservation
Due to limited available data, it has been recommended that Paroedura neglecta be listed as Data Deficient according to the IUCN guidelines. Both localities the species is known from have only had little anthropogenic disturbance, however nearby areas within Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park have been subject to severe cattle browsing and logging. Due to its restricted range, this lizard could become threatened by the impacts of farming, fire and logging which lead to habitat loss.

Frankie Jordan

Claude Benzaquen (born 19 July 1938), known during his music career as Frankie Jordan, is a French former rock and roll singer, later a dentist.

Born in Oran, Algeria, he moved as a child with his family to Casablanca, Morocco. He developed a love for jazz and blues music, and began playing piano in clubs in the style of Fats Domino, while studying to become a dentist. In 1960, he was discovered by Daniel Filipacchi of Decca Records, and recorded his first single, "Tu parles trop", a version of "You Talk Too Much". Arranged by Eddie Vartan, it was one of the first successful rock and roll records recorded in the French language. He followed it up with "Dieu merci elle m'aime aussi", a version of Ray Charles' song "Hallelujah I Love Her So". In February 1961 he appeared with Johnny Hallyday and Les Chaussettes Noires at the first international rock and roll festival held in Paris, at the Palais des Sports, which also featured Little Tony, Emile Ford, and Bobby Rydell. He continued to record successfully through 1961, and released "Panne d'essence", a version of Floyd Robinson's "Out of Gas". Originally intended as a duet with Gillian Hills, it was eventually recorded by Jordan with Eddie Vartan's sister Sylvie and became his biggest hit as well as launching Sylvie Vartan's career. Jordan also released a self-titled LP in 1961.

Throughout his relatively short career as a pop singer, Jordan maintained his studies, and in 1962 graduated with a dentistry qualification. He gave his last concert in 1963, before giving up his musical career. Since then, he has practised as a dentist in Paris. In 1996, he was awarded the position of Chevalier in the Légion d’honneur, and in 2005 became an Officer in the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.

Paul Hermann (botanist)

Paul Hermann (30 June 1646, Halle – 29 January 1695, Leiden) was a German-born physician and botanist who for 15 years was director of the Hortus Botanicus Leiden.

Born in Halle, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, Paul Hermann was the son of Johann Hermann, a well-known organist, and Maria Magdalena Röber, a clergyman's daughter. Hermann studied theology and medicine in Wittenberg and botany in Leipzig. After graduating from Europe's finest medical school, Padua in 1670, he was then engaged by the Dutch East India Company and went to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) as a Ship's Medical Officer. He was in their employ from 1672 to 1677. During his stay there, he made a scientific collection of this island's plants and other organisms. He was then offered the job at Leiden and took up the Chair of Botany at the University of Leiden in 1679 and took up his residence in 1680 at Leiden where he spent the rest of his professional life. He immediately set to making it the finest botanical garden in Europe.

Hermann's Paradisus batavus, a description of the plants of the Leyden university botanical garden, was published three years after his death in 1698 and edited by William Sherard. There was a second edition published in 1705. Sherard edited his notes and solicited patronage for the publication of this important book. They were students together of Tournefort in Paris in 1688. This is where Hermann perfected his botanical draughtsmanship. Later Sherard collected more of his notes and produced a catalog published as Musaeum Zeylanicum (1717, 2nd edn.: 1727). Hermann's original Ceylon collection was used by Carl Linnaeus when he wrote his Flora Zeylanica (1747) and Species plantarum (1753), using the abbreviation "Hermann herb." in those publications. After Hermann's collections had passed through many hands, they were eventually purchased by Sir Joseph Banks. Now they are kept at the Natural History Museum in London. Hermann was a very good botanical illustrator and had an excellent botanical grasp as declared by Linnaeus himself.

Mirko Čikiriz (Мирко Чикириз; born 21 January 1963) is a Serbian politician. He has served three terms in the National Assembly of Serbia, been a state secretary in the Serbian government, and been an assistant mayor of Kragujevac.

At one time a prominent member of the Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO), Čikiriz joined the breakaway Movement for the Restoration of the Kingdom of Serbia (POKS) in 2017. That organization split in late 2021, and he became a prominent figure in a party faction led by Žika Gojković. Gojković's POKS group ceased to exist in 2022, and the following year Čikiriz launched a local political movement called Kragujevac the Capital–Serbia the Kingdom.

Early life and career
Čikiriz was born in the small town of Guča, Lučani, in what was then the People's Republic of Serbia in the People's Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. He graduated from the University of Kragujevac Faculty of Law in 1988, passed the bar exam in 1995, and afterward worked at law in Kragujevac. From 1998 to 2008, he was the legal representative and head of the legal service for Takovo osiguranje in the city.

Serbian Renewal Movement
Čikiriz's family has a long history of involvement in Serbian royalist politics. His ancestors were supporters of the Karađorđević dynasty in the nineteenth century, and for twenty days during World War II Draža Mihailović kept his military headquarters in the house of Čikiriz's grandmother. Several members of Čikiriz's family were shot by German forces during the Axis occupation of Serbia.

Čikiriz joined the SPO on its formation in 1990. He was arrested along with party leader Vuk Drašković following street protests against Slobodan Milošević's administration in June 1993; on his release, he organized further protests for the benefit of those party members still incarcerated. Čikiriz became a member of the SPO Kragujevac city board in 1996, and in 1997–98 he was secretary of the municipal assembly and municipal administration in nearby Lapovo. He later became president of the SPO's Kragujevac board and a member of its presidency for the Šumadija District.

He was a candidate in the Serbian parliamentary elections of 2000, 2003, and 2007, although he was not elected on any of these occasions. The SPO's electoral list did not cross the electoral threshold in 2000 or 2007. In 2003, the party ran in an alliance with New Serbia (NS) that won twenty-two seats. Čikiriz appeared in the 114th position on the combined list of the parties and was not given a mandate afterward. (From 2000 to 2011, assembly mandates were awarded to sponsoring parties or coalitions rather than to individual candidates, and it was common practice for the mandates to be assigned out of numerical order. Čikiriz could have been included in the SPO's delegation despite his low position on the list, but ultimately he was not.)

Parliamentarian
The SPO contested the 2008 Serbian parliamentary election as part of the For a European Serbia (ZES) alliance led by the Democratic Party (DS). Čikiriz was included on the alliance's (mostly alphabetical) list in the 242nd position and was given a mandate when ZES won a plurality victory with 102 seats out of 250. The overall results of the election were inconclusive, but ZES ultimately formed a coalition government with the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), and the SPO supported the administration. In his first assembly term, Čikiriz was a member of the legislative committee; a deputy member of the committee on youth and sports, the committee for relations with Serbs outside Serbia, and the poverty reduction committee; and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with Australia, Belgium, Norway, and Portugal.

Čikiriz was also elected to the Kragujevac city assembly on the ZES alliance's list in the 2008 Serbian local elections. His term was brief; he resigned from the city assembly on 10 October 2008.

Serbia's electoral system was reformed in 2011, such that all mandates were awarded to candidates on successful lists in numerical order. The SPO contested the 2012 Serbian parliamentary election in an alliance with the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) known as U-Turn (Preokret). Čikiriz received the seventeenth position on the alliance's list and was re-elected when it won nineteen seats. The Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) won the election and afterward formed a new coalition government with the SPS and other parties, and the SPO served in opposition. Čikiriz was a member of the committee on constitutional affairs and legislation and the committee on the rights of the child, a deputy member of the finance committee and the administrative committee, and a member of the friendship groups with Japan, Slovenia, South Korea, and the Sovereign Order of Malta.

The SPO joined the SNS's political alliance in the buildup to the 2014 parliamentary election. Čikiriz received the ninety-second position on the alliance's Aleksandar Vučić—Future We Believe In list and was elected to a third term when the alliance won a landslide victory with 158 seats. In the 2014–16 term, Čikiriz was a member of the committee on constitutional affairs and legislation and the committee on the rights of the child; a deputy member of the administrative committee, the committee for Kosovo and Metohija, the health and family committee, the committee on defence and internal affairs, and the finance committee; a deputy member of Serbia's delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE PA); and a member of the friendship groups with Australia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Italy, Japan, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, and the United States of America.

He received the 134th position on the SNS-led Aleksandar Vučić–Serbia Is Winning list in the 2016 parliamentary election and narrowly missed re-election when the list won 131 mandates. He was later appointed as a state secretary in Serbia's ministry of justice. As none of the SPO's three elected members left the assembly prior to the 2020 election, Čikiriz did not have the opportunity to return as a replacement.

Čikiriz was a vice-president of the SPO at the time that he left the party in 2017.

Movement for the Restoration of the Kingdom of Serbia
The SPO split in 2017, and a new party called the Movement for the Restoration of the Kingdom of Serbia (POKS) was established under Žika Gojković's leadership. Čikiriz joined the POKS, saying that its founders were dissatisfied with Vuk Drašković's continued leadership of SPO but did not want to attempt a disruptive takeover of that party. In leaving the SPO, Čikiriz accused Drašković of singling out the crimes committed by Serb forces in the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s and ignoring the crimes of other sides. The POKS initially continued to support Serbia's SNS-led administration, and Čikiriz remained in his role as a state secretary.

In 2019, the Kragujevac city assembly voted to name an alley after Draža Mihailović. Čikiriz supported this decision, describing both Mihailović's Chetniks and the Yugoslav Partisans as having been anti-fascist forces in World War II.

He appeared in the third position on the POKS's For the Kingdom of Serbia electoral list in the 2020 Serbian parliamentary election. The list narrowly missed crossing the electoral threshold. He also led the POKS's list for Kragujevac in the concurrent 2020 Serbian local elections and was elected when the list won three mandates. Once again, his term in the local assembly was relatively brief. He was appointed as an assistant mayor on 5 November 2020, with responsibility for co-operation with churches and religious communities. (The city's other assistant mayors were appointed in September, but Čikiriz was required to wait until the end of his term as a state secretary before he could take office.)  By virtue of holding an executive role, he was required to resign from the city assembly, which he did on 27 November.

In May 2021, he introduced a contract valued at seven million dollars to be spent on financing and co-financing projects sponsored by the city's different religious communities.

POKS split and after
The POKS split into rival factions in late 2021, respectively led by Žika Gojković and former Belgrade mayor Vojislav Mihailović. For several months, both Gojković and Mihailović claimed to be the legitimate leader of the party. Čikiriz was one of Gojković's most prominent allies in this intra-party division. On 28 December 2021, the group centered around Mihailović formally expelled both Gojković and Čikiriz from the POKS, a decision that they in turn rejected as invalid.

Gojković's POKS group contested the 2022 Serbian parliamentary election in an alliance with Dveri, and Čikiriz received the twelfth position on their combined electoral list. The list won ten seats, and he was not elected. Shortly after the election, Gojković's group lost the rights to the POKS name when Mihailović was formally recognized as the party's leader. Gojković's movement ceased to exist soon after this time.

Čikiriz continued to serve as an assistant mayor of Kragujevac until 30 October 2023, when the city's mayor resigned and a provisional administration was appointed pending a new election.

Čikiriz launched a new political movement in late 2023 called Kragujevac the Capital–Serbia the Kingdom, which contested the local election in an alliance with the Russian Party (RS). Čikirz appeared in the second position on the alliance's electoral list and was re-elected to the city assembly when the list won two mandates. He resigned his seat on 15 May 2024.

Advanced Java/Declaring float and long Literals

A Quick Review
A literal is an expression that represents a constant value. For example, a char literal is always surrounded by two single-quotes: 'c'.

Numeric literals are simpler: just type in the number. For example, to instantiate an int with the value of four, you know to type

int foo = 4;

By default, a numeric literal is considered as an int type by the JVM if it doesn't have a decimal point. Otherwise, it's considered a double.

floats and longs
To specify a numeric literal as a long instead of an int, add an L (for long) to the end of the literal. Either capital or lowercase will work, but a lowercase 'l' can easily be confused with the numeral '1', especially in monospace fonts.

long bar =<PHONE_NUMBER>820L;

To specify a numeric literal as a float instead of a double, add an F (for float) to the end of the literal. Again, either capital or lowercase will work.

float bam = 2.71828f; float baz = 3.14159F;

Why Does This Matter?
Since a double is longer than a float, and thus can hold more significant digits, the compiler will complain if you try to stuff a double value into a float variable. If you're defining a variable with a literal value, you can tell the compiler that you really do want a float by using the F suffix.

Cookbook:Feature requests/Rating and feedback system

As SamSam said about his categorization and filtering suggestion, I have concerns about the cookbook's scalability. From my experience using public recipe sites, I have found that the more recipes they accumulate, the less useful they become. Even with a robust categorization system, the duplicate recipes make it very hard to research what you want to make. Although it may be some work, I suggest that we implement a rating and feedback system as I find this greatly increases a site's usefulness. This idea was inspired by VegWeb (http://vegweb.com), which is a public recipe site that is a pleasure to peruse as compared with other sites such as cooks.com that (http://www.cooks.com) seem sterile due to the lack of public feedback. An open feedback forum on the recipe page is vital for the testing of the recipes and for the opening of dialogue that is so much a part of the creative process of cooking. Variations of recipes can be posted here and a rating system can be implemented for the feedback entries to prioritize entries that people found most useful/informative and to highlight variations on recipes that are most popular. This system should be on the front end and easily accessible to the public, thus not in any way restricted to active builders of the book's content. This would be an excellent way of dealing with the philosophical issue raised by Snowspinner (above) about open-ended vs fixed recipes. I am an advocate for the open-ended approach, but a recipe can get too overwhelming with too much information at once. The original author of a recipe should still be allowed to put in as much extra information as they would like such as variations, cooking techniques, ingredient information, etc. However, a feedback system would be an indispensable way of building this extra information that everyone can learn from.

Julia Culp

Julia Bertha Culp (6 October 1880 – 13 October 1970), the "Dutch nightingale", was an internationally celebrated mezzo-soprano in the years 1901–1919.

"You might describe Julia Culp as a connoisseur’s singer," Michael Oliver wrote in the International Opera Collector in 2000. "Her voice was not large, her compass not wide. She never sang in opera; striking dramatic gesture were not her line. What she excelled in were the singer’s rather than the vocal actress’s virtues: sustained legato line, remarkable breath control, subtle colour, immaculate care for words…. But ‘connoisseur’s singer’ does not mean that only connoisseurs can appreciate her; one becomes a connoisseur by listening to her."

Biography
Culp was born in Groningen, the Netherlands into a Jewish family of musicians and comedians. She was the daughter of contrabass player Baruch Culp and his wife Sara Cohen. At the age of seven she began to practice the violin, and at 11 had her first public violin performance. Her first performance as a singer was on 30 December 1893. In the summer of 1896, she left Groningen for Amsterdam, where she studied at the Conservatory under renowned former opera singer Cornélie van Zanten.

Soon after completing her studies in 1900, Culp's singing career took flight. She was discovered by German-American conductor Wilhelm Berger, who took her to Berlin to perform at the concert hall Saal Bechstein in 1901. Before long, she was performing all over Europe and America, sharing the stage with such notable composers, conductors and singers as Edvard Grieg, Richard Strauss, Camille Saint-Saëns, Enrico Caruso, Otto Klemperer, Willem Mengelberg, Pablo Casals, Percy Grainger, Enrique Granados and Thomas Beecham.

As early as 1902 she performed for Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands and in 1903 she was invited to sing at the German Imperial Court for Empress Augusta Victoria. In 1911 Culp sang the mezzo-soprano part in the premiere performance of Frederick Delius's Songs of Sunset in London under Thomas Beecham. In 1913, she made her American debut at Carnegie Hall in New York City. In the United States, she soon became known as the "Dutch Nightingale".

Julia Culp made some 90 acoustic recordings between 1906 and 1926. In the United States, she made 41 recordings for the Victor label in the years 1914–17 and in 1924. In July 1926 she made her only electric recordings, in Berlin.

She married Erich Merten on 29 June 1905 and settled in Zehlendorff near Berlin. However, the marriage was unsuccessful and they divorced in 1918. In the meantime, she had met a Czech industrialist, Wilhelm Ginzkey (1856 - 1934), and they married on 23 July 1919. At that time, she converted from Judaism to Catholicism, ended her singing career and moved to Vienna. Julia remained married to Ginzkey until his death in 1934.

In the meantime, the Nazis had come to power in Germany. After the German annexation (Anschluss) of Austria in 1938, Culp fled to the Netherlands, moving in with her sister Betsy in Amsterdam. When the Nazis invaded and occupied The Netherlands in 1940, Culp once again found herself in grave danger. Both she and her sister went into hiding and managed to survive the war. They returned to their flat on the Daniël Willinkplein (Victorieplein) in Amsterdam, where she remained until her death at age 90.

Wikijunior talk:Solar System/Asteroid belt

Name
As a chapter, this should be called "Asteroid Belt" with a capital "B". I'd move it, but I'm worried it might mess up the templates. Rachel 16:45, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Should it be just called asteriods? Most of the info is just on asteroids - generally. There isn't even a section on how the belt came to be, or why it stays there ( all ordered) but yet there are other asteroids randomly in the solar system etc. [[User:cilstr 11:45, 16 August 2006

Writing this module as an introduction to other modules
When doing the "cleanup" of this module, it might be nice to make this more into an introduction of the asteroids as a general topic, with this being a launching point to other sections on specific Asteroids. There is indeed a rich history for Ceres and Vesta, and some detailed information together with pictures (important for kids!) of several other asteroids. Ceres in particular is going to be an interesting topic not only because it is the largest of all asteroids, but because there is a robotic mission that is going to do specific exploration of that asteroid that has already been designed and is scheduled to launch some time next year. --Rob Horning 19:25, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Response
I dont really understand your point, but I agree that this module needs an overhaul (if your not working on this anymore, then disregard), but as I edit I will focus on reorganization and rewriting Basejumper123 01:00, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Reorganize
I removed these pictures from the top of the page in order to reorganize it, Im no good at coding, so would someone turn this into legitamate code that will fit on the page?

 "] ]"

 * Sorry but I reverted you. Whilst reorganising you removed the section on what asteroids were made of and you removed they key facts box on asteroids. I realise that the top of the page is a bit ugly at the moment but some of that is caused by the cleanupboxes. Theresa knott 13:58, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

April 26, 2007- I know that the asteroid belt is awesome and I also know that the gravitational pull of the planets occasionally take an asteroid or two out of the belt. Jupiter is the planet that keeps the asteroid belt in place as it revolves around the sun. P.S.- There are around 40,000 asteroids in the asteroid belt.

Proofing
I did a quick proofing check of this page and have a few suggestions: Thanks. — RJHall 21:52, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) It contains lumps of rock much smaller than planets. There are asteroids that are made primarily of metal. (See "M-type asteroid" on wikipedia). It would be more correct to say "rock or metal", or even "rock and metal".
 * 2) The largest asteroid is 2001 KX76. While this is true (depending on whether the plutino definition is accepted by the IAU) '2001 KX76' is in the Kuiper belt, rather than the asteroid belt. I would suggest changing the text to read: "The largest asteroid in the solar system is 2001 KX76. The largest asteroid in the asteroid belt is Ceres, which is 1,032 kilometers across."
 * 3) Some asteroids are less than a kilometer. It should say "across".
 * 4) some objects have been seen that are indeed smaller than 50 meters that merely pass nearby the Earth. Awkwardly worded. How about: "some objects smaller than 50 metres have indeed been seen passing nearby the Earth."
 * 5) Due to some automated asteroid scanning observatories and a systematic exploration of the Solar System for near-Earth asteroids seems too technical. "Because so many near Earth asteroids are now being found" cuts to the chase. Perhaps the "Who discovered them?" section could mention the automated observatories?
 * 6) Ida is the only asteroid with a moon, named Dactyl. Not even remotely true. At least 37 have been discovered so far. There may be many, many more. C.f. the wikipedia article on "Asteroid moon".
 * These are changes that should be made. If you don't get around to it, I'll do it in the next week or so. --Xixtas 05:09, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay it's done. Thanks. — RJHall 18:04, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Table of largest asteroids in the belt?
Would it make sense to include a table of the five largest asteroids (by maximum dimension) in the belt? — RJHall 18:37, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

 * That seems like a good idea. I have a question though. Is Ceres still an asteriod? I thought it was now a dwarf planet and not an asteroid. Is it both? --xixtas 21:04, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Out of curiosity, how many asteroids fit the current IAU definition of a "minor planet"? (aka with Pluto, Quorar, etc.) That might be a good limit on what to include in this table, as I think Ceres and Vesta both fit the description and definition.  --Rob Horning 21:23, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

 * According to Wikipedia Ceres is considered a dwarf planet and Vesta, Pallas and Hygiea may be if it is determined that their shapes are formed by hydrostatic equilibrium. Wikipedia Dwarf Planet. According to NASA "According to the IAU, more dwarf planets are expected to be announced in the coming months and years. Currently, a dozen candidate dwarf planets are listed on IAU's dwarf planet watchlist, which keeps changing as new objects are found and the physics of the existing candidates becomes better-known." and "Instead, on August 24, 2006, an alternate proposal came into effect labeling Ceres a 'dwarf planet'. It is not yet clear whether dwarf planet status is, like planet status, a sole defining category, or whether dwarf planets also retain their previous minor body classifications such as 'asteroid.'" --xixtas 04:37, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, since this is about the asteroid belt, we could just say "Largest bodies in the asteroid belt". That would get around whether they are asteroids or not. — RJHall 22:48, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Trojan asteroids
The one portion of the text that I think may be problematic for wikijunior is the final paragraph of "Are there asteroids outside of the asteroid belt?" I.e. the whole concept of Trojans, Lagrange points, and 60° stable orbit locations. Is this going to work for a very young reader? Perhaps that paragraph needs to be simplified or explained a little more? Thanks. — RJHall 18:36, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The paragraphs contain some interesting information. I think they add value to the article, but may be a little overly technical for the audience. So I'm not sure. I would lean toward trying to simplify the language rather than removing them completely. --xixtas 21:10, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I tried to work on the text, but I'm not sure I completely succeeded. Thanks. — RJHall 19:25, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

=Earth= The Planet Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is one of the four terrestrial planets in our Solar System. This means most of its mass is solid. The other three are Mercury, Mars, and Venus. The Earth is also called the Blue Planet, Planet Earth, and Terra.

The Earth is home to millions of species of plants and animals, including humans.

Earth is the only planet in the galaxy which is known to support life. Earth has so many places that are suitable for humans to live; although, some areas of the planet can be dangerous for humans or uninhabitable.

Science shows that Earth formed around 4.5 billion years ago. The organisms that live on Earth have completely changed its air (atmosphere); this is called a biosphere. 71% of Earth's surface is covered in salt water oceans. Earth is the only place in the Solar System where liquid water is known to exist at present. The other 29% is made of rocky land in the shape of continents and islands. Earth interacts with other objects in the Solar System, particularly the Sun and the Moon. The Earth orbits the Sun roughly once every 365.25 days. One spin is called a day and one orbit around the Sun is called a year. This is why there are 365 days in a year, but a leap day added to the calendar once every 4 years.F1NYC (talk) 18:29, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Xalias123x is an editor on the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. They only made an account so that they can edit and create articles about abandoned theme parks/amusement parks. Xalais123x is disappointed that they cannot immediately create an article after creating an account, but understands why the rules are in place to prevent this.

Truncated 120-cells

In geometry, a truncated 120-cell is a uniform 4-polytope formed as the truncation of the regular 120-cell.

There are three truncations, including a bitruncation, and a tritruncation, which creates the truncated 600-cell.

Truncated 120-cell
The truncated 120-cell or truncated hecatonicosachoron is a uniform 4-polytope, constructed by a uniform truncation of the regular 120-cell 4-polytope.

It is made of 120 truncated dodecahedral and 600 tetrahedral cells. It has 3120 faces: 2400 being triangles and 720 being decagons. There are 4800 edges of two types: 3600 shared by three truncated dodecahedra and 1200 are shared by two truncated dodecahedra and one tetrahedron. Each vertex has 3 truncated dodecahedra and one tetrahedron around it. Its vertex figure is an equilateral triangular pyramid.

Alternate names

 * Truncated 120-cell (Norman W. Johnson)
 * Tuncated hecatonicosachoron / Truncated dodecacontachoron / Truncated polydodecahedron
 * Truncated-icosahedral hexacosihecatonicosachoron (Acronym thi) (George Olshevsky, and Jonathan Bowers)

Bitruncated 120-cell
The bitruncated 120-cell or hexacosihecatonicosachoron is a uniform 4-polytope. It has 720 cells: 120 truncated icosahedra, and 600 truncated tetrahedra. Its vertex figure is a digonal disphenoid, with two truncated icosahedra and two truncated tetrahedra around it.

Alternate names

 * Bitruncated 120-cell / Bitruncated 600-cell (Norman W. Johnson)
 * Bitruncated hecatonicosachoron / Bitruncated hexacosichoron / Bitruncated polydodecahedron / Bitruncated polytetrahedron
 * Truncated-icosahedral hexacosihecatonicosachoron (Acronym Xhi) (George Olshevsky, and Jonathan Bowers)

Truncated 600-cell
The truncated 600-cell or truncated hexacosichoron is a uniform 4-polytope. It is derived from the 600-cell by truncation. It has 720 cells: 120 icosahedra and 600 truncated tetrahedra. Its vertex figure is a pentagonal pyramid, with one icosahedron on the base, and 5 truncated tetrahedra around the sides.

Alternate names

 * Truncated 600-cell (Norman W. Johnson)
 * Truncated hexacosichoron (Acronym tex) (George Olshevsky, and Jonathan Bowers)
 * Truncated tetraplex (Conway)

Structure
The truncated 600-cell consists of 600 truncated tetrahedra and 120 icosahedra. The truncated tetrahedral cells are joined to each other via their hexagonal faces, and to the icosahedral cells via their triangular faces. Each icosahedron is surrounded by 20 truncated tetrahedra.
