Talk:André 3000

jump
very poorly written...how can you go from early life to essentially his first solo album? Outkast and Andre had a very important career BEFORE they won album of the year, you have to be crazy to ignore the most essential part of this guy's life. Also they can add a little more deatil to thw whole life and carreer history! —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:06, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Education?
I read somewhere that Andre 3000 has a music-related Phd. Is this true? I'd like to see some information on what sort of musical education (or educaation in general) he has. --Howdybob 00:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd like to see anything about his music/instrument training. Self taught?  Schooled?  What's the story and what does he play?  Hey Ya! shows him with several instruments and I wonder how many does he actually play.MartinezMD (talk) 20:43, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Bill Bixon
On Punk'd, Andrew Benjamin identifies himself as Bill Bixon? Is this his original name?
 * No, Bill Bixon is most likely an alias (he grew up distrusting the police, after all). His real (original) name is André Benjamin (see the beginning of the article). -kotra 01:51, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

If Andre Benjamin is his real name, why does it say "Andre Marcotte" or whatever? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:54, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Filmography

 * Film where he is Sammy Davis Junior (200?)
 * Film where he is Jimi Hendrix (200?)

are a little unspecific to be left in the article.--Kelapstick 16:45, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I can't find a deeper source regarding the Jimi Hendrix biography. http://www.iftn.ie/news/?act1=record&only=1&aid=73&rid=4284896&tpl=archnews&force=1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:24, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Aliases
An alias is a name people will know you by - most of the aliases listed are simply joke names that he used on one occasion, not actual aliases. I think the section should be removed - unless anyone says it shouldn't, I will in a little while. Luminifer (talk) 20:46, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm tempted to agree. Maybe keep some, the thing about the aliases listed on Stankonia is relevant and he was/is definitely referred to as Dre numerous times. Fol de rol troll (talk) 21:51, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it could be pulled up into a sentence in another sentence, at that. Tell you what - if you want, you can make the change... :) Luminifer (talk) 22:06, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * While I appreciate your gentlemanly conduct, I'm quite drunk and I'm in no fit shape to be doing this. I hope when I'm better, that you will have resolved the issue. :) Fol de rol troll (talk) 22:59, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hahah, well, I'm in no rush as yet - I don't want someone to come along and undo it. That happens a lot - even if I mention it on the talk page first! Luminifer (talk) 03:24, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

3 stacks?
Why does 3 Stacks redirect here? Is it one of his stage names? --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:51, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, 3 stacks means 3000. He refers to himself as 3 stacks in several songs including UGK's International Player's Anthem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:45, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Info Not in Original Source Cited
In the reference to his arrest due to speeding, it is mentioned that he was driving the car of his friend the "famed poet Justin Ryan Fyfe" but the source that is cited at the end of the sentence, does not say anything about a "Justin Ryan Fyfe". This seems like a case of vandalism. Can someone check it out because I am a bit rusty with contributing in Wikipedia (still don't know my way :)). Thanks. Nasr (talk) 11:14, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Madagascar 3
I have just deleted the complete nonsense about him replacing Bernie Mac as Zuba in Madagascar 3 as it is unsourced and | the first few Google hits are from various Wikis and no official sources are given anywhere and the only Madagascar 3 reference on the Dreamworks site only is | here and there is no reference of Andre 3000 listed anywhere there either. Plus we don't know what is up with Doc Hudson's, Fillmore's and Red's voice actors in Pixar's upcoming Cars 2 yet either. trainfan01 21:04, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Violin
In B.o.B Ft. Andre 3000's new song "Play The Guitar" Andre says he does not play the guitar.... <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:53, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Homage to Futura 2000?
Does anyone know if he took his name as an homage to graffiti artist Futura 2000? If so, that would be a nice thing to note.--Spiff666 (talk) 21:16, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Where was he born?
The article currently says Coral Springs but not only did the sources not mention this, but I searched all over the web and every website I looked at said he was born in Atlanta. The Outkast website doesn't mention where he was born either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:10, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned references in André 3000
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of André 3000's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "rs": From U2:  From The Sweet Escape (song):  From Hey Ya!: "Hey Ya!". Rolling Stone. December 9, 2004. Retrieved June 3, 2007.  From Adam Clayton:  From DoYaThing:  From Genius Loves Company: The Rolling Stone Interview: Ray Charles. Rolling Stone. Retrieved on 2008-11-09.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 02:34, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Another Andre Benjamin
Please note there is another Andre Benjamin who is an actor and R&B singer (Riley and the Ryze Band)  from Vancouver, who has had minor roles in productions like Stargate Atlantis. -AngusWOOF (talk) 15:20, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Cell Biology/Introduction/Cell size

Size of Cells
Although it is generally the case that biological cells are too small to be seen at all without a microscope, there are exceptions as well as considerable range in the sizes of various cell types. Eukaryotic cells are typically 10 times the size of prokaryotic cells (these cell types are discussed in the next Chapter). Plant cells are on average some of the largest cells, probably because in many plant cells the inside is mostly a water filled vacuole.

So, you ask, what are the relative sizes of biological molecules and cells? The following are all approximations:

0.1 nm (nanometer) diameter of a hydrogen atom 0.8 nm Amino Acid 2 nm Diameter of a DNA Alpha helix 4 nm Globular Protein 6 nm microfilaments 7 nm thickness cell membranes 20 nm Ribosome 25 nm Microtubule 30 nm Small virus (Picornaviruses) 30 nm Rhinoviruses 50 nm Nuclear pore 100 nm HIV 120 nm Large virus (Orthomyxoviruses, includes influenza virus) 150-250 nm Very large virus (Rhabdoviruses, Paramyxoviruses) 150-250 nm small bacteria such as Mycoplasma 200 nm Centriole 200 nm (200 to 500 nm) Lysosomes 200 nm (200 to 500 nm) Peroxisomes 800 nm giant virus Mimivirus 1 µm (micrometer) (1 - 10 µm) the general sizes for Prokaryotes 1 µm Diameter of human nerve cell process 2 µm E.coli - a bacterium 3 µm Mitochondrion 5 µm length of chloroplast 6 µm (3 - 10 micrometers) the Nucleus 9 µm Human red blood cell 10 µm (10 - 30 µm) Most Eukaryotic animal cells (10 - 100 µm) Most Eukaryotic plant cells 90 µm small Amoeba 120 µm Human Egg up to 160 µm Megakaryocyte up to 500 µm giant bacterium Thiomargarita up to 800 µm large Amoeba 1 mm (1 millimeter, 1/10th cm) 1 mm Diameter of the squid giant nerve cell up to 40mm Diameter of giant amoeba Gromia Sphaerica 120 mm Diameter of an ostrich egg (a dinosaur egg was much larger) 3 meters Length of a nerve cell of giraffe's neck

What limits cell sizes?
 * Prokaryotes — Limited by efficient metabolism
 * Animal cells (eukaryotic) — Limited by surface area to volume ratio
 * Plant cells (eukaryotic) — Have large sizes due to large central vacuole, which is responsible for their growth

Related reading

 * Some early history related to the development of an understanding of the existence and importance of cells. The importance of microscopy.

Defiant (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)

"Defiant" is the 55th episode of the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the ninth episode of the third season. This episode guest stars actor Jonathan Frakes, in the role he had originated on Deep Space Nine's predecessor series, Star Trek: The Next Generation. The episode aired in broadcast syndication on November 21, 1994.

Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures on the Starfleet-run space station Deep Space Nine near the planet Bajor, as the Bajorans recover from a decades-long occupation by the imperialistic Cardassians. This episode explores the relationship between Cardassia and the United Federation of Planets, as well as the continuing conflict with the Maquis, a renegade group of Federation citizens who oppose the peace treaty between the Federation and Cardassia. In this episode, the Maquis steal the USS Defiant, a Starfleet warship docked at Deep Space Nine.

This episode was written by Ronald D. Moore and directed by Cliff Bole.

Plot
William Riker arrives on Deep Space Nine and proceeds to charm the crew, especially Major Kira. She takes him on a tour of the station and its new ship, the Defiant. Once aboard, he draws a phaser and stuns her, fakes a warp-core breach and steals the ship with Kira aboard.

The station crew soon discovers that the thief is not Will Riker but his duplicate Thomas, who was created in a transporter accident and inadvertently stranded for eight years. Trying to distinguish himself from his more successful doppelgänger, he has joined the Maquis. The heavily armed Defiant under Maquis control now poses a serious threat to Cardassian forces. Commander Sisko is faced with the challenge of retrieving the Defiant intact while avoiding an incident with Cardassia that might start a war. He agrees to travel to Cardassia Prime to cooperate with a Cardassian operation led by Gul Dukat to hunt Riker down. The operation is observed by the Obsidian Order, the feared Cardassian intelligence agency.

After infiltrating Cardassian space and attacking an outpost, Riker takes the Defiant to the Orias system, which he believes contains a secret shipbuilding facility. When Sisko analyzes Riker's movements and realizes that his target is Orias, Dukat, believing the system to be barren and of no value, orders his ships to intercept. His Obsidian Order observer Korinas, however, warns him that any ship, Cardassian or otherwise, that approaches the system will be destroyed.

The Defiant manages to outrun its pursuers into the Orias system, but is confronted by several more Cardassian ships appearing from the system itself. Suspicious, Dukat confronts Korinas, inferring that the ships from the Orias system must belong to the Obsidian Order, who are strictly forbidden from possessing military equipment of any kind. With the Defiant trapped between the two fleets, Sisko arranges a deal with Dukat: In exchange for the Defiant's sensor logs of the system, which will provide evidence of the Obsidian Order's illegal military buildup, the Defiant will surrender to Dukat's lead ship and will be returned along with its crew to the Federation, and Riker will be sentenced to a Cardassian labor camp rather than to death. Kira persuades Riker to accept the terms. The opposing ships approach the Defiant and its Cardassian escorts, but abort the confrontation and return to the Orias system. Riker beams to the Cardassian ship, leaving Kira in control to return to Deep Space Nine.

Connections to other episodes
Thomas Riker was first introduced in "Second Chances", an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

The episode "The Die Is Cast", later in the third season of Deep Space Nine, reveals the purpose of the ships built by the Obsidian Order.

Reception
In 2015, Geek.com recommended this episode as "essential watching" for their abbreviated Star Trek: Deep Space Nine binge-watching guide.

The series never followed up on what happened to Thomas Riker, and in 2020, Screen Rant described his fate as one of the top unresolved plot lines in the series.

In 2020, Den of Geek listed "Defiant" as one of the best stories of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Legacy
In the book Voyages of Imagination: The Star Trek Fiction Companion there is a story called "Promises Made" that is about Kira rescuing Riker from a Cardassian prison camp.

Releases
On April 10, 1995, this episode and "Fascination" were released on VHS in the United Kingdom. On August 3, 1999, this pair of episodes were released on LaserDisc in the United States.

The episode was released on June 3, 2003 in North America as part of the Season 3 DVD box set. This episode was released in 2017 on DVD with the complete series box set, which had 176 episodes on 48 discs.

Inference with Batch-Normalized Networks
In the formula, $$y^{(k)} = BN^{\text{inf}}_{\gamma^{(k)},\beta^{(k)}}(x^{(k)})=\frac{\gamma}{\sqrt{\operatorname{Var}[x^{(k)}]+\epsilon}}x^{(k)}+\Bigg(\beta-\frac{\gamma E[x^{(k)}]}{\sqrt{\operatorname{Var}[x^{(k)}]+\epsilon}}\Bigg)$$

the indices are missing.

Shouldn't it be

$$y^{(k)} = BN^{\text{inf}}_{\gamma^{(k)},\beta^{(k)}}(x^{(k)})=\frac{\gamma^{(k)}}{\sqrt{\operatorname{Var}[x^{(k)}]+\epsilon}}x^{(k)}+\Bigg(\beta^{(k)}-\frac{\gamma^{(k)} E[x^{(k)}]}{\sqrt{\operatorname{Var}[x^{(k)}]+\epsilon}}\Bigg)$$

doubt about the backprop derivatives
In the dl/dmu - the 2nd term has a sum of x-mu - this sum is equal to 0, since the sum of the x's is equal to the sum of the mean. Why does this term appear then? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:58, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Topic talk:Applied mathematics

Pure vs. applied mathematics
I was bold and moved this to applied mathematics. I think we should create a pure math too. --HappyCamper 02:15, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't think we should have two separate maths such that you are suggesting (pure/applied). With this you would then need more to cover actuarial, financial (if no where else), combinatorics & optimization, statistics. This would put too many departments under the physical sciences faculty (faculty?) Perhaps have math move into it's own faculty, so that it can have 5 departments, act, c&o, amath, pmath, stats. --Tastymangojuice 16:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Why not make a math faculty then? Those topics need to be covered anyway I think. Actually, I was thinking of making something for an beginners applied calculus course. That way, at least we have something here to start with. --HappyCamper 20:03, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Should I just create the faculty by myself? That would mean moving this department to that faculty. Or should I wait for more people to join this discussion? Beginners applied calculus would be apart of the applied math department, which would be apart of the math faculty. Do you intend to have this course deal with university level calculus or high school level? (or pre-calculus - i.e. Limits) --Tastymangojuice 00:20, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

No more need for this discussion.

User:KarlyKerod/Evaluate an Article

Evaluate an Article

 * Name of article: Food history
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate.
 * I chose this article because it provides great detail on the history of food. There are many subtopics within this article, and those seem to need a little bit of revising for bias, sources, and other things. Overall, there is a good amount that I can do with this article, even though it is pretty well-rounded.

Lead Evaluation
The lead of the entire article is strong and gives a clear definition of food history. It does not really highlight the major sections in the lead, but it does mention that the article showcases everything from culinary history to specific recipes. The lead does not provide information that is not within the body of the article, but it does lack a rounded structure. While it is concise, I feel that it needs more information to round it out.

Content

 * Content Evaluation

The article's content is relevant to the topic, as there are many subtopics that go in order of which historically occurred first. It goes over the major years related to food history, and some of the most important crops that shaped societies. The content does not need to be updated, as the information is historical and came from many credible sources. It could most likely use some information updates in terms of placement in the article, and could probably use some connecting information. However, for what is there, it looks pretty solid.

Tone and Balance
Tone and Balance Evaluation

It is shown that one of the subjects does not reflect the worldwide view. The subtopic is the Middle Ages, and it looks like the article starts off by stating that "British cooking has been influenced by foreign ingredients and cooking styles since the Middle Ages." The beginning sentence of this subtopic does not necessarily reflect what is discussed in the article. The subtopic should focus on the cooking styles of Europe, and other places that contributed to the cuisine of the Middle Ages. I feel as if this subtopic within Food History needs to be more well-rounded and specific to the Middle Ages.

Sources and References

 * Sources and References Evaluation

It appears that this article has many credible sources listed at the bottom. There are also many in-text citations that suggest that research has been done to find proper sources. The sources look relatively current and most of the links I tried loaded. A few of them did not.

Organization

 * Organization Evaluation

The article is well-written and easy to read, despite the minor errors that arise with the article's format. I did not see any grammatical errors throughout the article. I think the entire topic of food history is adequately divided by ages and culinary styles.

Images and Media

 * Images and Media Evaluation

This article includes images with every subtopic that it describes in detail. The images correspond with the time and place that these culinary styles and periods occurred. The captions could use some editing, as they are more like titles than descriptive explanations. All of the images have citations or are linked to the sites they were taken from, therefore they adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations. The images are good supporting content for the article.

Checking the Talk Page

 * Talk Page Evaluation

The talk page of this article does not really have much going on. There are only two comments on certain subtopics of the article. It says that the article is listed at a level-5 vital article in History, and that it's included in two different WikiProjects. This article on Wikipedia is very historical, while in our class, we are more concerned with cultures.

Overall Impressions

 * Overall Evaluation

This article appears to be in its final stages– it just needs some polishing, and some adjusting within the subtopics. The article is very good at providing a lot of historical facts in such a concise manner. I also see that the article has many credible sources, linked within the paragraphs. The article could use a look at each subtopic individually. Some of them need a more clear focus, while others need grammatical and structural improvement. I think this article is well-developed, but it needs quite a few finishing touches.

Introduction to graph theory/Proof of Theorem 4

Statement
For a graph $$G$$, the following are equivalent:
 * $$G$$ is a tree
 * $$G$$ is a minimal connected graph, in the sense that the removal of any edge will leave a disconnected graph.
 * $$G$$ is a maximal acyclic graph, in the sense that the addition of any missing edge will create a cycle.

Corollary of
Corollary 3: A graph is a tree if and only if for every pair of distinct vertices $$u,v$$, there is exactly one $$u,v$$-path.

Proof
Suppose $$G$$ is a tree, and let $$uv$$ be an edge not in $$G$$. By Corollary 3, there is exactly one $$u,v$$-path. If this path is $$ux_1\ldots x_kv$$, then adding the edge $$uv$$ will create the cycle $$ux_1\ldots x_kvu$$. As a tree is defined to be a connected forest and a forest is defined to be acyclic. A tree is therefore a maximal acyclic graph.

Now suppose $$G$$ is a tree, and let $$uv$$ be an edge of $$G$$. By Corollary 3, there is exactly one $$u,v$$-path. This path is clearly just the edge $$uv$$. Thus, in the graph $$G-uv$$, there is no $$u,v$$-path, and hence $$G-uv$$ is disconnected. Since a tree is defined to be a connected forest, a tree is therefore a minimal connected graph.

Now suppose $$G$$ is a maximal acyclic graph, but is not a tree. Since an acyclic graph is called a forest, and a tree is defined to be a connected forest, $$G$$ must be disconnected. Thus there exists vertices $$u,v$$ such that there is no $$u,v$$-path in $$G$$. In particular $$uv$$ is not an edge of $$G$$. As $$G$$ is a maximal acyclic graph, $$G+uv$$ must have a cycle. Since $$G$$ has no cycle, this cycle must include the edge $$uv$$. Let this cycle be $$ux_1\ldots x_kvu$$. Then $$ux_1\ldots x_kv$$ is a $$u,v$$-path in $$G$$. This contradiction shows that maximal acyclic graphs are trees.

Finally, suppose $$G$$ is a minimal connected graph, but is not a tree. As a tree is defined to be a connected forest, it follows that $$G$$ is not a forest, and hence (by definition), $$G$$ must have a cycle. Let $$u,v$$ be adjacent vertices on the cycle, and let the cycle be $$ux_1\ldots x_kvu$$. As $$G$$ is a minimal connected graph, $$G-uv$$ must be disconnected. Consider any vertex $$x$$. In $$G$$, there was a path from $$x$$ to $$v$$. If the path went through the edge $$uv$$, then in $$G-uv$$, there is clearly an $$x,u$$-path. Otherwise, there is clearly an $$x,v$$-path in $$G-uv$$. Either way, the connected component of $$G-uv$$ contains either $$u$$ or $$v$$. Since $$ux_1\ldots x_kv$$ is a $$u,v$$-path in $$G-uv$$, the connected component containing $$u$$ also contains $$v$$. Thus every vertex in $$G-uv$$ is contained in the same connected component, meaning that $$G-uv$$ is connected. This contradiction shows that minimal connected graphs are trees.

Austin Harrison

Austin Frederic Harrison (1873–1928) was a British journalist and editor, best known for his editorship of The English Review from 1909 until 1923.

Early life and career
Born in London, Harrison was the son of the author and jurist Frederic Harrison and his wife Ethel Bertha Harrison. Initially tutored by George Gissing, Harrison attended St Paul's School and Harrow School. After leaving school, he went to Switzerland and Germany to study foreign languages in preparation for the Foreign Office exam, which he subsequently failed. With a career in the civil service now unlikely, Harrison's father used his connections to find his son a position with The Times. Harrison was sent to their Berlin bureau, but he soon ran afoul of their bureau chief and was dismissed. He later found positions with the Manchester Guardian and Reuters, where he enjoyed greater success.

Chafing at the restrictions imposed by the German foreign ministry, Harrison resigned from Reuters in 1904 and expressed his concerns about the Kaiser in his first book, The Pan-Germanic Doctrine. Returning to London, he worked briefly as a freelance journalist until he was offered the editorship of The Observer by Lord Northcliffe, the weekly newspaper's new owner. Harrison proved an able editor, using his position to warn his readers of the growing threat posed by the German empire to British security. Yet the paper continued to lose money, prompting Northcliffe to replace Harrison with J. L. Garvin at the end of 1907. Despite his dismissal, Harrison remained with The Observer as literary editor, simultaneously working at the Northcliffe-owned Daily Mail as drama critic.

Editorship of The English Review
At the end of 1908, Harrison accepted an offer from Alfred Mond to assume the editorship of the newly acquired literary magazine The English Review. Recently started by the author Ford Madox Huffner (later Ford), it had proved critically successful but a business failure. Though his practices irritated some, Harrison soon boosted circulation, which had been at only 1,000 when he assumed the editorship, to 18,000 by 1911. Such was his success that he bought out Mond in 1915, assuming ownership while continuing to serve as editor. During this time he broadened the range of contributors, publishing works by authors as diverse as Anton Chekhov, Hermann Hesse, Katherine Mansfield, Aleister Crowley, Edward Gordon Craig, George Bernard Shaw, and William Butler Yeats.

Politics was also a topic addressed in the pages of The English Review, and Harrison continued to warn readers about the threat posed by Germany in the years leading up to The First World War. The death of one of his brothers at the battle of Battle of Festubert turned the Liberal editor into a passionate critic of the government during the subsequent munitions scandal. Harrison also supported a lenient peace with Germany; the harsh terms offered by Prime Minister David Lloyd George in 1918 drove Harrison to run against Lloyd George in the prime minister's own borough in the "coupon" election that December.

Final years
Harrison helped to found International PEN in 1921. Two years later, he sold The English Review to focus on writing books, though he published occasional journalism as well. Harrison died in 1928 at his home in Sussex from bronchopneumonia.

Works

 * The Pan-Germanic Doctrine (1904)
 * Memories and Thoughts (1906)
 * The Kaiser's War (1914)
 * Lifting Mist (1924)
 * Pandora's Hope (1925)
 * Frederic Harrison: Thoughts and Memories (1925)

Karnak Temple

Originally, the obelisk was created by Pharaoh Thutmose III (1479 - 1425 BC) for himself and another for his father, but neither were completed before his death. Thutmose III's grandson, Thutmose IV (1400-1390 BC) finished the obelisks and had them erected to the east of the great temple of Amun in Karnak. When it was completed, the obelisk now known as the Lateran Obelisk stood at 32m (105 ft) which was the tallest one in Egypt. Both it and the other obelisk, known as the Obelisk of Theodosius, were brought to Alexandria over the Nile by an obelisk ship in the early 4th century by Constantius II. He intended to bring them both to Constantinople, the new capital for the Roman Empire. The Lateran Obelisk never made it there.

It is one of three lighthouses on the island and was maintained by the Canadian Government despite the fact that Newfoundland did not join Confederation until 1949. It was designed by William P. Anderson as one in a series of nine buttressed lighthouses built in Canada around 1910.

Its light characteristic is a white flash occurring every eleven seconds. The lightsource is placed at a focal plane of 42 m above sea level. A fog signal consisting of a single blast may be sounded every 30 seconds if needed.

Ninja Oratorio-kun (忍者オラトリオくん), known as Ninja Oratorio in some countries, is a manga series created by Fuji A. Fuji, later adapted into a television drama, a 1981 anime series, a video game and a live-action movie. It was remade as a 2012 anime series as a joint venture between India and Japan and is currently airing in several Asian countries, including India.

11-year-old Chicken Submit is an average kid who goes to secondary school and struggles with his studies, he is very stubborn and is very lazy and therefore always ends up frustrating his parents and teacher. He loves to find an easy way of things much to the annoyance of Oratorio.

Meanwhile, a little ninja named Oratorio Kano befriends Chicken. Oratorio is now a part of the Submit family along with his brother Shinzo, and his ninja dog, Shishimanu. Hattori helps Kenichi with his problems, and constantly keeps an eye on him, as a good friend. Mekong is portrayed as Chicken's love interest.

The main antagonist Kingmaker, a Toca Ninja and his ninja cat Kagoshima. Kingmaker always troubles Chicken. Chicken asks Oratorio to take revenge as a recurring storyline in many episodes. Although Hattori is a good friend, Chicken sometimes fights with Oratorio due to misunderstandings created by Kingmaker. Sometimes Hippo, Together and Subsume help him.

There are five main locations in the series: Tokyo City, Shinto Temple, Ina Province, Ina Mountains, Gawk Valley.

Characters

 * Kano Oratorio (ハットリ カンゾウ or 服部 貫蔵)
 * (voice: Juno Horn (1981 and 2012 anime), drama actor: Tokugawa Murrain, drama voice: Kazoo Madurai, live-action film actor: Shinto Oratorio)

A.k.a. Oratorio-jun, is the protagonist of the series, a little ninja named after Oratorio Hanna. He is 11 years old and 40 kg and is 140 centimeters tall. He is the boy who usually contests Kingmaker when he performs mischief. Satori's main weakness is that he is afraid of frogs and lizards; this often leads him into trouble and becoming helpless around a frog environment. He wears blue coloured ninja robes, with a red belt. He always explains what a good ninja does and what others should also do. His powers can be compared to a master ninja. He also has a strange habit of saying ~degrade or nin nin (ding ding) after almost every sentence. His girlfriend seems to be Subsume.
 * In the Indian (Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and English) versions, Hattori is sometimes his first name and sometimes his last name (along with Shinzo's) it changes between episodes, an inconsistency.

 * Chicken Submit (三葉 ケン一)
 * (voice: Masaryk Sugary (1981 anime), Tommie Trashiness (2012 anime), drama actor: Satsuma Tamika, live-action film actor: Yuri Chinen)

Is a 10-year-old boy who goes to middle school and is poor in his studies. He likes Mekong, however also Kingmaker is always after her. He also tricks Hattori to help him in any situation, even in extreme ones (e.g. in one episode, he wanted training to become a full-fledged ninja). He also does not follow his mother's instructions properly and often gets a severe scolding from his mother. Though he doesn't study well, he has a good habit of helping others. He is always the victim of Kemumaki's mischievous plans.

 * Shin Oratorio (ハットリ シンゾウ or 服部 心蔵)
 * (voice: Yoko Mira (1981 anime), Yukon Pinata (2012 anime), drama actor: Shindig Nakak)

A.k.a. Shin-Chan, is Kazoo's younger brother. He uses weapons made from wood. He is a ninja-in-training who learns to be a good ninja, like Kanzo. He wears red coloured ninja robes. Shinto seems to have a good heart and sticks to being loyal to his brother and sometimes gets excited when others are excited. Some of the times, Shinto tricks Oratorio to giving him things. He is also known to cry very loudly, disturbing people and even fainting them. He is also very powerful for his age, at 7 years old. He helps Kano fight Kingmaker, with his real weapons and control his loud crying (which immobilizes opponents from attacking) and bites the head of the opponents.
 * While Kano is referred to as "Oratorio", Shinto is usually called by his first name, where his surname is inconsistent in the Indian (Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and English) versions.

 * Shishimaru (獅子丸)
 * (voice: Chicken Tagalog (1981 and 2012 anime))

Is a ninja dog living with Chicken, who came along with Kano Oratorio and Shinto Oratorio. He is a casual behaving dog who at times becomes lazy and stubborn. Along with Shinzo, the two of them wind up doing mischief and creating trouble. He has an attack of turning in a fireball when provoked. He also has the ability to change form into any other animal. His fur color is yellow. His ninja mark on his forehead is very important for him as it is an identification of him as a ninja. He loves to eat all kinds of delicious treats, especially a fish sausage, or chocolate roll.

 * Subsume (ツバメ)
 * (voice: Fumigate Shirmp)

A.k.a. Subsume-KO, is a Chinook and classmate of Oratorio-jun. She likes Oratorio and always wishes to marry him. She has a dislike for Kingmaker and Kagoshima. She wears pink coloured ninja robes. She seems to own a recorder, a clarinet, a flute, a piccolo and a bassoon, five woodwind instruments.
 * She is called Sonam in the Hindi version.

 * Kemerovo Kingmaker (ケムマキ・ケムゾウ)
 * (voice: Kaneta Kimono (1981 anime), Kazuki Ogawa (2012 anime), live-action film actor: Gorie)

Is the antagonist of Ninja Oratorio-kun. He, along with his cat Kagechiyo (Kemuzo), always are the ones who cause trouble. Strength-wise, he has competition with Oratorio and Shinto. He is 11 years old and is shorter than Kenichi but a lot more fitter and stronger than him. He competes with Kenichi for Mekong-chain; however when he uses one of his ninja techniques in order to win, Oratorio usually steps in to save the day. He wears green colored ninja robes. Only Kagoshima, Chicken and the Kano family know about his dual life that he's a ninja like Oratorio while he joined Chicken's school as a normal boy in the middle of the series. His parents' whereabouts are unknown, but his mother is noted several times in the series.
 * He is called Amaru in the Hindi dub, but retains his name in the Indian English dub.

 * Kagoshima (影千代)
 * (voice: Biko Yamaha (1981 anime), Au Fukuoka (2012 anime))

Is a talking animal-ninja of the Kōga-ryū, Kagoshima is the helping antagonist in the series. Usually Kemumaki gives a big task in his plans for Kagechiyo to carry out, which he often does not succeed in. This is because he doesn't get enough training from Kingmaker and is seen sleeping on the streets. He is noticed by Hattori several times. He is seen to have a rivalry with Shishimaru. His fur color is black and white. He normally hides in the Mitsuba house to hear Chicken and his friends' plans and afterwards informs Kemumaki about them, acting more like a communication device. Sometimes he hates Kemumaki for his strictness and imagines living a life of luxury as a normal cat in some episodes. He enjoys eating fish. He obtains an attack of static electricity on rubbing a shining metal plate against his back. If he uses this attack too much then it will drain his energy, and he will feel weak.
 * He is called Kiy'yo or Keo in the Indian versions (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and English).

 * Mekong Kasai (河合 夢子)
 * (voice: Tuna Yakima (1981 anime), Hanuka Sat (2012 anime, season 1-2), Yuma Hashish (2012 anime, season 3-4))

A.k.a. Mekong-Chan, is the girl who usually causes disputes between Kingmaker Kemerovo and Chicken Submit. She also attends the same middle school as the two, and she is also the one who causes most of the problems of the plot as both Kingmaker and Chicken fall in love with her and want to attract Mekong. Most of the time she appears to be confused. Mekong seems to be in touch with Hattori sometimes. Yumeko sees Hattori as a big brother and Shinzo as a little brother. She is also seen to like Chicken. And sometimes people mistake her relationship with Oratorio as a romantic one, though in some episodes they are seen to show romance. She is also known to play piano fairly well and hates bell peppers.

 * Nikolai-Sense (愛子先生)

Southern Wesleyan University

Southern Wesleyan University is a private Christian university in Central, South Carolina, United States. It was founded in 1906 by what is now the Wesleyan Church. The institution is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees.

The university offers approximately 35 major areas of study for undergraduates and also offers graduate and doctoral degrees in the areas of business and education. The university serves approximately 1,600 students. There are more than 800 undergraduates enrolled at the main campus in Central, South Carolina. In addition, undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs are offered in a fully online format.

The school has 18 intercollegiate athletic teams that compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II as well as the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA). Since 2007, the university's athletic teams have won 17 NCCAA national championship titles.

History

In 1904, representatives of Wesleyan Methodist churches in South Carolina and surrounding states met at Central to consider the possibility of establishing a college. Classes at the new school began on October 15, 1906, with students from first grade through college. Initially known as the Wesleyan Methodist Bible Institute (1906–1908), subsequent names included Wesleyan Methodist College (1909–1959) and Central Wesleyan College (1959–1994). The school was renamed Southern Wesleyan University in 1994.

Beginning in 1928, the college operated as a two-year junior college, with a four-year theological program. In 1958, the pre-college programs were phased out, and the college moved to a full four-year program. The junior college program received accreditation that same year, and Central Wesleyan College (as the school was then called) was accredited to award bachelor's degrees in 1973. The university is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate's, bachelor's and master's degrees.

In addition to the traditional program, in 1986 a nontraditional program for working adults was added. Initially known as Leadership Education for Adult Professionals (LEAP), the program expanded to include various associate, bachelor's, and master's programs in an evening class format. The program evolved into what are now the fully online programs at SWU.

The university was granted an exception to Title IX in 2015 which allows it to legally discriminate against LGBT students for religious reasons.

Academics

The university has been accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools since 1973. In 2008, the School of Education was also accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education for the teacher education programs at the undergraduate and master's levels. Degree programs in music and music education are also accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music as of 2008.

Southern Wesleyan University offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in two schools and one college.

The School of Education provides training for teaching careers in public and private education. This training is geared toward classroom management, student learning and teacher instruction for the elementary and secondary school levels.

The Benson School of Business provides business education with a Christian perspective that prepares students for positions of leadership and service. It offers a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA), Master of Business Administration (MBA), and Master of Science in management (MSM) in various concentrations.

The College of Arts and Sciences offers a broad range of academic disciplines, such as Christian ministry, the humanities, fine arts, and the social, natural and computational sciences.

Tunes (confectionery)

Tunes is a brand of lozenge, manufactured by Mars Wrigley Confectionery in the United Kingdom. It is marketed as a cough sweet, or anti-congestant lozenge, containing eucalyptus oil and menthol. It is a relative of the now discontinued brand of Spangles, and shares the same packaging and dimensions of that brand. In the United Kingdom, Tunes no longer have the style packaging of Spangles.

There was a memorable television advertising campaign for the product with the slogan "Tunes help you breathe more easily". The commercials featured the actor Peter Cleall, who would perfectly enunciate the word "Tunes" after taking the anti-congestant.

Execution of Torrijos and his Companions on the Beach at Málaga

The Execution of Torrijos and his Companions on the Beach at Málaga (Spanish: Fusilamiento de Torrijos y sus compañeros en las playas de Málaga) is a painting by Antonio Gisbert Pérez.

It is considered one of the finest pieces of Spanish history painting from the 19th century.

Commissioned by Prime Minister Práxedes Mateo Sagasta in 1886, Gisbert completed in 1888. It has been used as vehicle for conveying the Spanish nation building from a perspective of the defence of Liberty.

On 11 December 1831, following direct orders from Ferdinand VII and without any sort of trial, José María Torrijos was executed on the beach of Málaga, together with other companions (such as Manuel Flores Calderón and Francisco Fernández Golfín), including both military and civilians. The painting depicts the scene.

Today, it is displayed in Madrid's Museo del Prado.

Description and characteristics
José María de Torrijos y Uriarte, also known as General Torrijos, was a Spanish liberal soldier and politician remembered above all for his bitter fight against the absolutism that Ferdinand VII of Spain wanted to impose, which cost Torrijos prison and exile.

An outstanding military man who became captain general of Valencia, field marshal and minister of war during the Liberal Triennium (1820-1823), Torrijos prepared the so-called Torrijos pronouncement from his exile in England (1824-1830), where he lived thanks in part to the aid granted by the Duke of Wellington to the Spanish exiles who had fought under his command in the Spanish War of Independence. On December 2, 1831, together with sixty of his closest associates, he landed on the beaches of Malaga from Gibraltar. There he was betrayed by Governor Vicente González Moreno, who had promised him his support, and they were captured by absolutist troops. Eight days later, on December 11 and without trial, Torrijos was shot along with forty-eight of his companions on the beaches of Malaga.

In the painting, the prisoners are lined up with their hands tied, while some friars are busy blindfolding them and trying to offer the condemned one last consolation. Behind them the firing squad awaits orders, while in the foreground, on the ground, some men lie already dead in a clearly Goyesque detail.

Torrijos is in the center of the composition, standing out slightly from the rest of the characters. To his left, holding his hand, is an elderly man, Francisco Fernández Golfín, former Minister of War, and to the right, holding his hand, Manuel Flores Calderón, dressed in a pale frock coat. To his right are Colonel López Pinto, the English officer Robert Boyd and Francisco Borja Pardio.

Dutch/Lesson 2

Gesprek 2-1

 * 1) First push the button to simply listen to the following conversation.
 * 2) Then study the text to find out what the meaning is. If necessary, hover your mouse over a if you don't know it. Once you think you understand the conversation open the dropdown below to see the full translation.
 * 3) Finally listen to the conversation again and see how much you understand. First with eyes open to see the text. Then do it with eyes closed.
 * 4) If there are parts you do not understand when listening, go back to step 2.
 * 5) Finally use the vocabulary box on the right to memorize the vocabulary material

Grammatica 2-1 ~ Introduction to Verbs
A verb (in Dutch: werkwoord) is that part of speech that describes an action. Verbs come in an almost bewildering array of tenses, moods, voices and aspects, and there are several major types: intransitive, transitive, ditransitive, and ergative verbs.

Fortunately, the Dutch verb is not too different from the English one, although it does have a few more forms.

I am called Standish                     Ik heet Standish What are you called (named)? Hoe heet u? ...that she is named (called) 'Alice'    ...dat ze 'Alice' heet  We are both called Robert                Wij heten allebei Robert

The Dutch verb heten can best be translated as "to be named" or "to be called" and we see two forms of it here Actually there are usually three forms. This can be seen from:
 * 1) a singular one: heet used with ik,u,ze
 * 2) a plural one heten used for wij (as well the other plural persons).

In the case of heten the extra -t does not get added because the stem already ends in a -t.

In a later lesson we will revisit the verb forms associated with each person.

The irregular verb to be-zijn has a few more forms in both languages.

Gesprek 2-2 ~ De Engelsman
First push the arrow button to listen to the following conversation. Then inspect the translation and hover over each word you do not know to find out what it means. Once you understand the narrative run the audio again, following along, making sure you know what is being said. Use the pronunciation box on the right to further strengthen your comprehension both in listening and in reading.

Fill in the blank 2-2-F
Say the word you think that belongs in the blank and use the hover method to check your choice

 * Mevrouw Nieman wil Standish haar collega
 * Mr. Standish vraag of ze een beetje wil spreken.
 * Mr. Standish bezoekt de.
 * Mevrouw Nieman vraagt of Standish Nederlands kan

Vocabulary drill 2-1

Of course memorizing words and expressions is an important part of learning any language and there are various ways of doing that. Have a look at the vocabulary pages. They are designed to help you acquire more words in a playful manner.

Grammatica 2-2 ~ Inversion in questions and negations
You may have wondered about the order of the words in

 * ik geloof dat ze Alice heet.

Even though Dutch verbs are not so much more complicated than English ones, word order is. In fact it is quite a bit more complicated than in English. For the moment let's just leave the above sentence for what it is and start with questions.

Questions
A question sentence in Dutch simply reverses the order of subject and verb.

Recall:  U heet meneer Standish ('You are named Mr. Standish).

It became: Hoe heet u ? as a question

The normal word order of subject (u or "you") then verb (heten) is reversed and, in this case, an interrogative (hoe or "how") added.

Additional examples: English does the same thing when using the verb to be:

 * I am - are you?
 * ik ben - bent u?

Dutch does not use the auxiliary to do as English requires in most other cases:

 * ik weet -  weet u?
 * I know  -  do you know? (instead of "know you?")

Negations
The negative is formed by simply adding niet at the end:

 * Ik versta u      -  I understand you
 * Ik versta u niet -  I do not understand you

Again, Dutch does not use the auxiliary to do. (In fact using it sounds very foreign.)

Even a negative question does not use to do:

 * Verstaat u mij niet? - Don't you understand me?

Gesprek 2-3 ~ Het nieuwe meisje
In this conversation, the parties are close friends.

Fill in the blank 2-3-F
Use the hover method to check your answer.

 * Karel vraag aan Heleen wie dat nieuwe is.
 * Karel vindt Karolien erg
 * Heleen denkt dat Karel het lange zwarte leuk vindt.
 * Karel is op dat haar.

Gender
Where English uses the demonstrative pronoun that, Dutch uses either dat or die, recall:

 * dat nieuwe meisje. Die brunette. - that new girl, that brunette

Similarly, where English uses the article the, Dutch has two possibilities: de or het, recall:

 * de boekhouding, het meisje. - the administration, the girl

We will revisit this phenomenon (gender) in the next lesson more extensively. There is a bit of a problem with it in Dutch.

For the moment it is enough to realize that there are two kinds of words,
 * ones that take de and die
 * ones that take het and dat

For this reason it is advisable to always memorize a word together with its definite article, e.g. as "de boekhouding", not simply as "boekhouding".

Both articles and demonstrative pronouns are a special kind of adjectives: words that are added to make the meaning of another word more precise, like new, small or exciting

Inflection
Recall that some adjectives in the dialogue ended in -e (mooie meid), sometimes they did not (is erg mooi).

Adjectives can be used in two ways: in front of a noun and after a verb like is (a copula). In English the adjective remains the same regardless:

 * The house is red (copula + adjective)
 * The red car (adjective + noun)

Behind a copula (as predicate) this is true in Dutch as well:

 * Ik ben gek (I am crazy)
 * Ze is mooi (She is pretty)
 * De auto is rood (The car is red)

But in Dutch they are inflected if they occur in front of a noun (as attribute). Compare:
 * de rode auto - the red car
 * een rode auto - a red car
 * de rode auto's - the red cars
 * rode auto's - red cars

Neuter words are the ones that carry the definite article het and the demonstrative dat. They are a bit different (Again: we will revisit them in the next lesson.)

 * het rode huis
 * een rood huis - a red house
 * de rode huizen
 * rode huizen

As you see the adjective is not inflected after the indefinite article een.

This also holds if there is no article:

 * met groot gemak - with great ease (het gemak: neuter)

But:

 * in hoge nood - in desperate need (de nood)

Thus, apart from the indefinite neuter an attributive adjective is usually inflected with -e.

There are a few exceptions, compare e.g.:

 * de man - the man
 * een grote man - a big man
 * een groot man - a great man

Making nouns out of adjectives
Adjectives can be turned into nouns, by assuming their inflected form:

 * Dat is een grote
 * That is a big one
 * Dat is een kleine
 * That is a small one
 * Die lange heeft mijn fiets gestolen
 * That tall guy has stolen my bike

Notice that Dutch does not use 'one' in such cases.

There are a number of adjectives that can be turned into nouns by adding -te. They all carry de. In English the corresponding suffix is -th:

 * wijd – wijdte (wide - width)
 * lang – lengte (long, tall - length)
 * groot – grootte (big - size)
 * breed – breedte (broad - breadth)
 * eng – engte (narrow - narrowness)
 * zwaar – zwaarte (heavy - heaviness)
 * heet – hitte (hot - heat)
 * warm – warmte (warm - warmth)
 * zwak – zwakte (weak - weakness)
 * sterk – sterkte (strong - strength)
 * droog – droogte (dry - drought)
 * hoog – hoogte (high - height)
 * menig – menigte (many - crowd)
 * duur – duurte (expensive - dearth)
 * gewoon – gewoonte (usual - habit)

More about nouns in the next lesson.

Quizlet
The vocabulary can be practiced as Quizlet (30 terms)

 * 2) been introduced to one element of word order: inversion
 * 3) become able to ask a question
 * 4) become able to make a sentence negative with niet
 * 5) been introduced to adjectives and their inflection
 * 6) gained vocabulary

Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/News/March 2015/Articles

 * Exhumation of Richard III of England (Prioryman) : One of Britain's most controversial monarchs was thrust into the news again recently with the discovery of his remains on the site of the former Greyfriars Church in Leicester. Nominator Prioryman's successful FAC in February allowed him to bring the article to the main page on 26 March, to coincide with Richard's reburial at Leicester Cathedral.
 * James B. Weaver (Coemgenus) : James Weaver was a general in the American Civil War but first and foremost a politician. In nominator Coemgenus' words, "From Republican to Greenback to Populist to Democrat, Weaver moved around the political parties of Gilded Age America, always in support of a fair shake for farmers and laborers. Or, that's how he'd tell it. Opponents might call him a chronic office-seeker and grabber of Indian lands."

 * Trinity (nuclear test) (Hawkeye7) : The world's first explosion of a nuclear weapon should need little introduction to most members of this project, and paved the way for the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki later in 1945. Hawkeye took the article though GAN and ACR prior to its successful FAC nomination, and hopes to see it on main page in time for the 70th anniversary of the test on 16 July.

 * William of Wrotham (Ealdgyth) : This article is about an English cleric and royal administrator who was known, perhaps unfairly, as one of King John's "evil counsellors".
