Cookbook:Avocado

The avocado, also known as the avocado pear or alligator pear, is a starchy high-fat fruit. Like the tomato, it is sometimes considered a vegetable.

Characteristics
The fruit is not sweet, but starchy, flavorful, and of smooth, more or less creamy, texture. Avocados have a large smooth pit and a leathery skin, both of which are easy to remove. The flesh is typically greenish yellow to golden yellow if ripe, turning brown soon after exposure to air.

Varieties
Avocado varieties can be classified into two types. The type grown in dry areas has a rough dark skin which may be almost black. This type is the size of a small pear. It is the creamiest and best tasting because of its high fat content. The type grown in wet areas has a bright green skin. It is larger, perhaps 5 inches long and 3.5 in diameter. This type is commonly chosen for the more-attractive skin and for reduced calories, though it is generally inferior for eating.

Seasonality
The precise season for avocados depends highly on the cultivar, but nearly all varieties reach their peak season around spring. The Hass avocado is the only variety that is available all year.

Selection and storage
Avocados only begin to ripen after picking. Depending on when you want to use it, you can purchase avocados anywhere from underripe to just ripe. Avocados ripen at room temperature a few days after they are picked, but they ripen faster if stored with other fruit such as bananas. They are ready to use when the flesh near the stem is starting to give but is not mushy. Once ripe, they can be stored in the fridge for up to a week to prevent undesirable browning.

Use
Avocados are typically eaten uncooked. They are very popular in vegetarian cuisine, making a good substitute for meats and cheeses in sandwiches because of their high fat content.

 * There is a lot of distilled practical wisdom in Wikipedia's user name policy developed over a period of years. Our user name issues are likely to be almost identical, at least I cannot think of any major deviations from Wikipedia's environment and needs.  By adopting this early we can avoid a few problems, it can always be tweaked in the wiki way when needed. Mirwin 12:34, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Those all looks to me like common sense so IMO it doesn't need to be written down as a policy. I'd like to keep our policies to a minimum if we really want people to actually read and follow them. -- sebmol ? 13:16, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Other than some blatant vandals with obscene language in their names and impersonating well known users, I don't see this as a problem.  Besides, with the unified login coming I don't see even that becoming a major issue as the naming conventions are going to be moved up to the foundation level as well.  I would suggest holding off for just a little bit longer and see what happens over the next couple of months if this is needed.  --Robert Horning 05:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

WV:UNC needs updates
The current version of WV:UNC says that Bureaucrats will rename, but this is outdated (renaming is currently handled by stewards and global renamers), how should we update this section?

Douglas Francis Jerrold

Douglas Francis Jerrold (Scarborough 3 August 1893 – 1964) was a British journalist and publisher. As editor of The English Review from 1931 to 1935, he was a vocal supporter of fascism in Italy and of Francoist Spain. He was personally involved in the events of July 1936 when two British intelligence agents piloted an aircraft from the Canary Islands to Spanish Morocco, taking General Francisco Franco with them and thereby helped to spark the military coup that ignited the Spanish Civil War.

Early life
Jerrold was born in Scarborough in 1893, the son of Sidney Douglas Jerrold and Maud Francis Goodrich. He was a descendant of the Victorian dramatist and writer Douglas William Jerrold, one of the founders of Punch. He served as an officer in the Hawke Battalion of the Royal Naval Division during the First World War, seeing action at Gallipoli and on the Western Front. One of his fellow officers in the Hawke Battalion was the writer and humourist A P Herbert. In the early postwar period, Jerrold wrote histories of both the Battalion and the Division.

Jerrold was admitted to the Middle Temple on 20 November 1918, but was not called to the Bar.

Publishing
Jerrold became a director of Eyre & Spottiswoode in 1929, chairman in 1945 and retired in 1958. Between 1944 and 1948, Graham Greene was his director, in charge of the fiction list.

Politics
Jerrold was at his core a Tory and was hopeful of a career in politics, but he was critical of the alliance between the Conservative Party and big business; he felt that the party had become too nakedly capitalist. His views were not popular with the party leadership, and in 1931, Jerrold's hopes of a parliamentary seat were dashed by Central Office.

The English Review and the New English Review
Sidelined in mainstream politics, Jerrold became editor of The English Review, which he ran from 1931 to 1935. He advocated "real Toryism as opposed to the plutocratic Conservatism represented by the official party", under the relatively liberal leadership of Stanley Baldwin. He was a romantic anticapitalist and a devout Roman Catholic who was strongly attracted to the fascism of Mussolini's Italy, the Catholic nationalism of Franco, and the rule of Antonio Salazar in Portugal as well as to that of Engelbert Dollfuss in Austria. In addition, Jerrold, unlike his English Review colleague, the historian Sir Charles Petrie, was an imperialist who was opposed to Britain's policy in India, which had recognised the inevitability of self-rule. Moreover, Jerrold favoured a greatly-strengthened executive government at home, if not an outright dictatorship. If not a fascist, Jerrold was undeniably sympathetic to fascism.

On 21 November 1933, Jerrold's English Review hosted a dinner, presided over by Lord Carson, which was intended to be the climax of Jerrold's campaign for a new corporatist approach to government. However, the dinner was not as successful as Jerrold hoped. The 350 guests were united in their opposition to the National Government but otherwise held divergent views. Soon afterwards, Jerrold gave his views on parliamentary democracy:
 * There is no folly more fashionable than the saying that the English will never tolerate a dictatorship. Under constitutional forms of a very flimsy character the English have invariably insisted on being governed either by a close oligarchy or a virtual dictatorship.... It is because the party machines have notably failed to govern that they are losing the public confidence, and unless Parliament under universal franchise can fulfil the indispensable task of leadership, a dictatorship is not only inevitable but necessary.

– Douglas Jerrold, Current comments, English Review, December 1933

In 1945, he launched and ran a successor, the New English Review, later known as the English Review Magazine, with Charles Petrie and support from the Conservative Party. In 1950, it merged with the National Review.

Fascist sympathies
In a July 1933 article in the English Review, Jerrold argued that because of the threat of communism to Britain, "the forcible overthrow of Herr Hitler's administration would be a disaster". Jerrold also joined the January Club, founded by Oswald Mosley in January 1934, to generate sympathy and some element of respectability for fascism and particularly to court conservative opinion. The January Club was not explicitly fascist but was "in sympathy with the fascist movement". Meetings were held over dinners at London hotels, where its leaders advanced a corporatist agenda and insisted that "the present democratic system of government must be changed". However, Jerrold was no Nazi and supported the efforts of Benito Mussolini to avenge the 1934 murder of Engelbert Dollfuss, which had been carried out in Austria by pro-Hitler forces.

Spanish Civil War
During the Spanish Civil War, Jerrold strongly supported the Nationalist cause of General Francisco Franco and was among those who argued that the destruction of Guernica had been caused not by Nationalist bombers but by retreating Republican forces.

In his 1938 book The Future of Freedom: Notes on Christianity and Politics, Jerrold outlined his support for the pro-Catholic dictatorships of Franco and Mussolini. He wrote, "Christians not only can but must wish and pray for General Franco's success".

Jerrold, in fact, took an active and personal role in Franco's successful coup. He had been involved in the events of July 1936, when Captain Cecil Bebb and Major Hugh Pollard piloted a de Havilland Dragon Rapide aircraft from the Canary Islands to Spanish Morocco, taking Franco with them and thereby igniting the Spanish Civil War. The flight itself was planned over lunch at Simpson's-in-the-Strand, where Jerrold met with the journalist Luis Bolín, London correspondent of the ABC newspaper and later Franco's senior press advisor. Jerrold then recruited Pollard to join the enterprise, along with Pollard's daughter Diana and one of her friends as "cover".

Resurrection Ship

"Resurrection Ship" is a two-part episode of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica television series. Part 1 aired originally on the Sci Fi Channel on January 6, 2006, and Part 2 aired on January 13, 2006. It was the first episode broadcast after a hiatus following the broadcast of the previous episode, "Pegasus", on September 23, 2005.

In the episode, Admiral Helena Cain and Commander William Adama call a truce but plan to assassinate each other. The humans destroy a Cylon fleet that includes a resurrection ship. Cain and Adama both cancel their plots, but Gina escapes from the Pegasus brig and kills Cain.

"Resurrection Ship" received positive critical reviews.

Plot
In "The Farm", Starbuck promised Sam Anders she would return to Caprica to rescue him. In "Pegasus", Apollo and Starbuck plotted to steal the stealth-capable Blackbird to obtain reconnaissance photos of a mysterious ship escorted by a large Cylon fleet. Cain sentenced Helo and Chief Galen Tyrol to death for accidentally killing an officer to rescue Sharon. Adama ordered Galactica's Vipers launched toward Pegasus, and Cain ordered the Pegasus Vipers to intercept them.

Part 1
Both Viper groups seek permission to fire, but neither Cain nor Adama grants it. The standoff is interrupted by Starbuck, who returns in the Blackbird with photos of the Cylon vessel. Cain and Adama call off their attacks and agree to meet on Colonial One as neutral ground. President Laura Roslin mediates an uneasy truce: the resolution of Helo and Tyrol's fate will be delayed until after the attack on the Cylon fleet. Later, Roslin warns Adama privately that Cain will strike against Adama again and urges him to assassinate Cain first. Adama demurs.

Impressed by what she calls Starbuck's "guts and initiative", Cain promotes her to captain and appoints her Pegasus CAG. Starbuck persuades Cain to reinstate Apollo's flight status though she demotes Apollo to Lieutenant and relegates him to delivery runs. Cain also promises Starbuck she will lead the fleet back to Caprica, destroy the Cylons, and rescue the survivors.

Doctor Cottle says Sharon will be all right. Adama apologizes to Sharon and orders her returned to her cell.

In Gina's cell, Cain abuses the Cylon prisoner. Gina begs Gaius Baltar to kill her. She tells him that the Cylon vessel is a "resurrection ship", where Cylons are downloaded into new bodies; if it is destroyed Gina can die permanently. Cain resolves to destroy the ship, believing mortality will deter the Cylon pursuit.

Colonel Jack Fisk tells Colonel Saul Tigh that Pegasus encountered a small civilian fleet. Cain ordered it stripped for parts, impressed some civilian personnel, executed the families of any who resisted, and abandoned the rest in space. Realizing that Roslin is right about Cain, Adama orders Starbuck to assassinate Cain once the attack on the Cylon fleet concludes. Likewise, Cain directs Fisk to take a detachment of Marines to Galactica to kill Adama after the attack.

Part 2
Two Pegasus crewmen confront Helo and Tyrol in the Pegasus brig and beat them with soap bars wrapped in towels; Fisk discovers the blanket party and ends it. Cain warns Starbuck not to let her conscience dictate how she behaves at difficult moments. Apollo agrees to help Starbuck with the assassination but expresses discomfort to his father. Adama invites Sharon to his quarters and asks why the Cylons hate humans; she replies that the Cylons don't hate humans but think them unworthy of life because of their tendency toward murder. As the battle nears, Starbuck and Fisk wish each other "good hunting".

The battle begins. Piloting the Blackbird, Apollo destroys the FTL drive on the resurrection ship, preventing it from escaping but is forced to eject after a damaged Colonial Raptor collides with the Blackbird. His spacesuit leaks oxygen and Apollo hallucinates before eventually allowing himself to suffocate. However, a search and rescue Raptor piloted by Racetrack locates Apollo and is able to revive him. The humans destroy the resurrection ship and the two Basestars guarding it. Cain and Adama contact Fisk and Starbuck respectively, but neither gives the order to assassinate. Both relieved, Fisk and Starbuck stand down.

Baltar signals his rejection of Head Six in favor of Gina by repeating to Gina a coquettish speech Head Six gave earlier. Baltar distracts the Marine guard so that Gina can kill him and take his side arm. Gina asks Baltar to kill her, but he urges her to seek justice, not death, and promises to hide her. Cain returns to her quarters following the battle to find Gina lying in wait for her. Gina shoots Cain and disappears.

Fisk and Starbuck eulogize Cain at her funeral. Fisk becomes Commander of Pegasus. Apollo confesses to Starbuck that he wanted to die in space. Helo and Tyrol return to Galactica. Helo and Sharon are reunited as Tyrol looks on. Recognizing that Adama now commands two battlestars, Roslin promotes him to Admiral. Adama helps the ailing Roslin to her feet and kisses her.

Characterization
In his podcast commentaries on "Resurrection Ship", executive producer Ronald D. Moore discussed his views of what the episode's events reveal about several of the characters.
 * Cain's decision not to kill Adama demonstrates that she is "human and... not a black-hatted villain."
 * Baltar telling Head Six that he is bored of his fantasy house reflects his growing preference for Gina.
 * Though Baltar has real feelings for Gina, his speech to her is "based on a lie, which is at the heart of a lot of things that Baltar’s about."
 * Apollo's experience with hypoxia affects his character strongly and influences him for the rest of the second season.
 * Adama's initial reaction to Roslin's assassination proposal reflects a reversal of what Moore considers the expected roles of a hawkish Adama and a dovish Roslin.
 * Adama's promotion is a sort of parting gift from Roslin, as she expects she will die soon.

In his reviews of "Resurrection Ship", Jacob Clifton of Television Without Pity discussed his own views on the characters.
 * Cain's actions in "Resurrection Ship" provide context for her actions in "Pegasus" and make her character "not sympathetic, but understandable" in the mold of Colonel Kurtz. However, the contrast between Cain's decision to pillage her civilian fleet and Adama's decision to protect his reflects "an issue of character rather than humanizing circumstance" (emphasis Clifton's).
 * Gina's ability to free Baltar from Head Six represents an opportunity to redeem him; Clifton compares Baltar and Gina's relationship with Angel and Darla's in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.
 * Gina's desire to die represents a profound break from the Cylons' religiosity.
 * Adama's relationship with Sharon is evolving. In "Resurrection Ship" he calls her "she" and "her"; in previous episodes he had called her "it".
 * Starbuck is conflicted over her loyalty to Adama and Apollo and her hope that Cain will help her rescue Anders. Her improved "demeanor, behavior and even appearance" demonstrate her determination to perform well as CAG.
 * Usually Head Six has control when Baltar speaks to her and a third party simultaneously, but the power dynamic is reversed when he talks to Gina.

Amanda Keith of the Los Angeles Newspaper Group disputes Starbuck's assertion in the eulogy that the fleet was safer with Cain in command; Keith attributes Starbuck's assessment to dissatisfaction with Adama and Roslin's leadership and ignorance of Cain's past misdeeds. Keith also believes Roslin is mistaken in her assessment of Cain as irredeemable; after all, Cain did back down from killing Adama.

Keith writes that Baltar believes he can reclaim his missing love by rescuing Gina, but Gina is too "broken" to reciprocate his feelings. Keith compares Baltar's fancy on this point to Cain's impossible dream of reclaiming the irradiated Twelve Colonies from the Cylons. She regards Baltar's actions in the episode as irresponsible and driven by his exclusive focus on his immediate surroundings.

Jennifer Stoy cites Roslin's call for Cain's assassination to argue that Battlestar Galactica challenges gender stereotypes, at least in its early seasons.

Analysis
Instead of giving Starbuck the order to kill Cain, Adama muses, "It's not enough to survive. One has to be worthy of surviving." In Moore's view, this reflects "one of the key tenets of the show." Clifton compares the conflict between Cain's urge to fight the Cylons and Roslin and Adama's commitment to maintaining civil society to the struggle between Adama and Roslin in the miniseries over whether to fight the Cylons or flee.

Jason Davis of Mania writes that mortality is a central theme of "Resurrection Ship". He cites Adama and Cain's assassination plots and their regrets over them, Adama inspecting his surgical scar, Starbuck and Fisks's mutual wishes of "good hunting", and Apollo and Gina's death wishes.

Clifton argues that Cain's decision to execute Helo and Tyrol is correct given the position she is in. In his view, the audience's prejudices in favor of the two men do not apply to her character because she does not know them. Clifton argues further that Roslin pushes for Adama to assassinate Cain because she expects her cancer to kill her soon and considers Baltar, who as vice president would succeed her, unfit to stand up to Cain.

Moore notes that Cain accomplished all her goals except for her own survival. Clifton compares her pursuit of the Cylons to Captain Ahab's pursuit of Moby-Dick.

In Moore's view, the audience is supposed to feel ambivalent about Gina. On one hand, she perpetrated genocide along with the rest of her kind. On the other hand, her situation inspires sympathy.

Production
"Resurrection Ship" was originally written and shot as a single episode, with the assassination plots hatched at the end of the second act. After editing the episode was still about 20 minutes too long, so it was split. This allowed for more detail within each part and caused plans for a clip show later in the second season to be scrapped. Part 2 opens with several shots of Apollo imagining floating in water as he drifts in space; this would have opened the single episode. Director Michael Rymer came up with the specific imagery of Apollo floating on his back.

The writers decided on Cain's fate in early drafts of "Resurrection Ship". They also decided early on to allow Pegasus to remain in the fleet; Moore believed this would subvert the audience's expectation that the more powerful battlestar would be destroyed at the end of the episode. Originally the conflict between Cain and Adama was to center around Cain's failure to protect civilian decoys during the battle with the Cylons despite a promise to Roslin. At one point during writing, the script explained why Roslin does not promote Adama over Cain to defuse the situation: Roslin knows Cain does not accept her authority as president and would not obey Adama's orders.

Apollo's experience ejecting and witnessing the destruction of the enemy ships was based on the experience of George H. Gay, Jr., in the Battle of Midway during World War II. Plans to include footage of the wrecked Raptor and its dead personnel along with Apollo were scrapped due to the difficulty of creating the shots and the feeling that it would be too morbid. Plans for additional action in Apollo's swimming fantasy were abandoned as "too esoteric".

Gina was initially scripted to embrace and kiss Baltar. This was removed after actress Tricia Helfer (Six/Gina) noted that Gina, a victim of serial rape, would not be willing to do this.

A scene in Part 1 in which Helo and Tyrol discuss Sharon and the blanket party scene in Part 2 used to be the same scene; the characters are in the same physical positions at the end of the first and the start of the second. The scenes were split when the episode was split. The blanket party was inspired by the films Full Metal Jacket and The Grifters. The writers referred to the Pegasus crewmen administering the beatings as the "Yee-Haw Boys"; in the episode Helo calls them "the Sunshine Boys". Their confrontation with Fisk was inspired by Moore's own experience in the U.S. Navy ROTC.

The kiss between Adama and Roslin was not scripted. Actor Edward James Olmos (Adama) improvised it on set. Actress Mary McDonnell (Roslin)'s surprise is genuine.

The Viper standoff was especially time-consuming to write and film. The writers considered having the Vipers open fire shortly before Starbuck appears, but they feared the consequences for morale and cohesion in the fleet.

Cain's code word "Case Orange" for Fisk to kill Adama refers to War Plan Orange, a contingency plan developed by the American military before the Second World War in case of a Japanese attack. Cain's specific directive to "terminate Adama's command, starting with Adama" is an homage to a line delivered by Harrison Ford's character in Apocalypse Now referring to Kurtz. Adama's code word "Downfall" for Starbuck to kill Cain refers to the German film of that name or possibly Operation Downfall, the planned Allied invasion of Japan at the end of the Second World War.

Reception
"Resurrection Ship" received positive critical reviews. Keith McDuffee of TV Squad called the episode "amazing" and praised the scenes between Baltar and Gina, Apollo's swimming fantasy, and the special effects. Amanda Keith called Part 1 "a fantastic episode" and praised the battle, composer Bear McCreary's score, and Adama and Roslin's final scene in Part 2. Jacob Clifton gave Part 1 an A, praising the moral ambiguity around Cain's actions, Olmos's performance, the editing of the final scene in which Cain and Adama give their assassination orders, and Starbuck, Adama, and Fisk's reluctance to participate in the assassination plots. He gave Part 2 an A+, calling actress Michelle Forbes (Cain)'s performance "wonderful", the battle scenes "awesome", the battle music "[g]rand, wonderful, sad and angry and terrible", and the final scene between Adama and Roslin "candid and weird and perfect and sad." Jason Davis gave Part 1 an A+ and Part 2 an A, praising Rymer's writing and Forbes's performance. Simon Brew of Den of Geek lauded the battle scene but said the rest of the episode was even better; he called it "all the more impressive for not doing what you'd expect it to do." Rose Wojnar of The San Diego Union-Tribune gave Part 1 an A− but Part 2 a B−, praising Forbes and Sackhoff's acting and the battle scene but calling Gina killing Cain "too good of a solution".

John Kubicek of BuddyTV ranked "Resurrection Ship" as the series's 18th best episode. Eric Goldman of IGN ranked "Admiral Cain's reign" in "Pegasus" and "Resurrection Ship" second on his list of the series's top "storylines and moments", praising Forbes's performance and calling the three episodes "riveting".

Connection to other series elements
More of Battlestar Pegasus's backstory is presented in the television movie Battlestar Galactica: Razor:
 * Cain and Gina were lovers until the Cylon attack on the Colonies.
 * The raids on the civilian ships are shown exactly as Fisk describes them in "Resurrection Ship".

The "Sunshine Boys" were introduced in "Pegasus" bragging about raping Gina and plans to rape Sharon. They resurface in the fourth-season episode "The Oath", in which they take Sharon, Helo, Tyrol, and others prisoner during a mutiny.

Authoring Webpages/Requirements

= Requirements =

In order to use this tutorial, you must have a web browser and a text editor. (Most operating systems come shipped with both.)

If you use Microsoft Windows, you will find an editor called Notepad in your Accessories.

Note: a text editor is not the same as a word processor. Do not use a word processor for this course.

Once you get more comfortable authoring webpages, you may want to acquire a more powerful text editor. For now, however, editors like Notepad, Simpletext (Apple Macintosh) or Nano (GNU/Linux) suffice.

Also, some minimal computing knowledge is assumed. If you do not know how to operate a computer, this course is not for you, yet.

Testing: Your first Webpage
In order to test whether you fulfil the requirements, you will now create your first web page in the following simple steps.

<!DOCTYPE html>   <title> Simple document </title>
The text of the document goes here!

 * Open your text editor program.
 * Type in the following simple HTML document. Note: all valid webpages must start with a DOCTYPE. This selects the version of HTML used by the web page.
 * Save your text as a file called  to your hard disk (or other storage medium). For the remainder of this course, it would be handy if you had a separate folder where you could save your webpages.
 * Open your web browser program.
 * Open the .html file you just saved in your web browser. Most browsers have a menu called something like 'File/Open File' for this.
 * Your browser should now display your first webpage.

This doesn't look very impressive, does it? Well, it will get much more impressive soon, and the good news is that it will not get much more difficult.

To reach true impressiveness though, you need to be able to reach your audience. To reach your audience, a webserver program needs to know about your webpages, so that it can serve your pages to all who ask for them.

Webservers
You could run your own webserver, but setting up such a program is beyond the scope of this tutorial.

If you follow this course in a class, the teacher will have set up a webserver for you.

If you follow this course by yourself, please check the website hosting options your Internet Service Provider (ISP) has available. (The ISP is the company that connects you to the internet. If you are connected through your work or college, consult with your systems administrator about hosting possibilities.) A form of web hosting may even be a free service your ISP offers you as part of your access package.

Recapitulation
In short, you need:
 * 1) A text editor (program)
 * 2) A web browser (program)
 * 3) A webserver (program+internet connection, or computer+program+internet connection)

The first two items you need right away, the last you need when you want to publish your webpages on the World Wide Web.

Comments on Mottos

 * Learn. Teach. Know.
 * I know the whole 'let's pretend we're an old European university by having a Latin motto' is pretty daft, but just in case anyone's interested, the Latin of the above could be  'cognosco. perdoceo. scio.' . --Sam 23:36, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Would I need to remove my vote from the origional motto in order to properly show my support for the synthesized motto? Talonhawk 03:43, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Removing the original or strikethrough would work here (plus with your support, this one can go above). In round 3 here, I think it would be good to reorganize the layout a bit and create sets of similar mottos. Then, people could support a set and express preference for specific option(s) -- as in the logo contest for Wikiversity. --Reswik 14:35, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

 * We Learn, We Teach, We Build

 * An open learning community
 * I switched my vote from "free learning community" to this for various reasons, including: 1) the appeal of the rich connotations of openness in the context of learning, in spite of my agreeing with the "free" side of debate in the politics of open source vs. free software; 2) the resonance with the slogan with most support below (so far) which uses "open."; 3) this offers our to-be-extensive project an opportunity to contribute (in discussions and on possible page(s) of explanation somewhere) to re-interpreting the implications of open, openness, and opening (in various senses such as development, awakening and liberation) in relation to the meaning of freedom in the free culture movement.

 * In vici veritas (There is truth in a wiki) -- Support: WiseWoman 20:38, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * From talk page:  'In vici veritas'  (from my very poor memory) actually means something more like 'In having conquered is the truth'. It's just that vici is pronounced 'wiki' (these days).  It's not Hawaiian, it's the first person singular perfect tense form of vincere, 'to conquer, overcome; defeat; subdue; win; surmount; exceed, excel; prevail' (from the OED).  --Sam
 * This is correct. I searched "vici" and this was the 3rd link at google: Veni, vidi, vici. To quote, "Caesar's terse remark -- translated as "I came, I saw, I conquered" -- simultaneously proclaimed the totality of his victory and served to remind the senate of Caesar's military prowess (Caesar was still in the midst of a civil war); alternatively, the remark can be viewed as an expression of Caesar's contempt for the patrician senate..." -- Reswik 12:01, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Check out the Latin Wikipedia - they have decided that vici is also the Latin for Wiki :) --WiseWoman 21:43, 17 September 2006 (UTC) (Google is not necessarily an authoritative source.....)
 * The google reference mentioned above is a Wikipedia reference that mentions the traditional Latin meaning of "vici." Vici means "I conquered" which seems not to be the best association for a Wikiversity motto. Reswik 00:21, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Learn free, think free
 * Too similar to Wikibooks motto? --Gurch

 * Citius, Altius, Fortius
 * I'm not sure, but should this be 'Citius, altus, fortis' ('Quickly, noble, strong') -- could someone with more latin than me verify this please? --Sam 23:36, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * no, it's correct: "citius, altius, fortius" means "faster, higher, stronger", to represent the athlete's desire for continuous self-amelioration. --Nadira 10:23, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Wikiversity - Learning Unbound
 * Unbound (adj.) 1. to release from bonds or restraint, as a prisoner; free. 2. not bound, as a book.

Comments on Slogans

 * Opening minds through open learning
 * See my comment about "openness" under "an open learning community" in the motto comment section. Reswik 15:57, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Free learning community

 * Free knowledge for everyone

 * Join us for making Knowledge Valuable without Price

 * Where teachers learn, and learners teach.

 * You can learn anything, teach anything, and know anything

 * Teach to Learn, Learn to Teach

 * Because Learning Is Never Ending...

 * All Wikiworms are welcomed!

 * Strength through wisdom, wisdom through study
 * The idea behind this is not solely from "V for Vendetta" :), but rather my own country's (Bulgaria) slogan: "Strength through Unity". Since I'm more a cosmopolitain than a nationalist, I think that "Wisdom through study" is entirely based on worldwide progress through enriching knowledge, which basically my own idea on development of humanity as a whole. Nikola Enchev 13.09.'06.

 * People are the source of knowledge. This open forum, it's challenge.
 * ...There is one BIG threat to this web site that is common to all open forum Wiki's; achieving credibility. This motto is my suggestion because one many levels there is a need for truth and knowledge. This open forum, in my opinion, will be it's ultimate test as laymen and academics confront information together in the wonderful project.--AaronG

On the Nature of Things/Questions

Which do you think is more correct, Plato’s idea that the soul and body are separate or Aristotle’s idea that they are unified and why?

Taking into account Aristotle’s arguments, does the destruction of the body mean the soul would no longer exist since they are both united?

Would you be able to clearly distinguish potentiality and actuality for someone who hasn’t read On the Soul and how according to Aristotle the body is potentially a person and the soul is actually a person?

User:AustinSmith

About Me
I am a software developer and analyst for a firm in Minneapolis, Minnesota. My knowledge includes general development theory, but I deal specifically with web application development. My primary job is to direct offshore resources in large scale project development. I previously worked as a consultant for American Public Media and a variety of other companies needing expertise in the realm of developing quality closed source software using freely available tools.

Personally, I enjoy cooking, playing tennis, and playing the piano. My girlfriend lives in Connecticut, so I have enough time to create courses on Wikiversity.

Skills
The three languages which I know equally well are PHP, Ruby, and Java. I am well versed in SQL, since we use it in web development as a "main ingredient" and so naturally I am also fluent in (X)HTML/CSS and XML. I also have professional experience with C, C++, C#, Perl, and Python. I am also a competent system administrator. Most importantly, I am passionate about application architecture; the delicate blend of SQL, a programming language (like PHP or Ruby), HTML, and the server it stands on.

Goals
I want to create courses, especially in PHP, Ruby, SQL, and Linux so that the amateur user may elevate their skillset to a level at which they can begin doing technical work for money. My professional interest is present as well, this is not simply a personal desire--as an avid recruiter of contractors, I shudder to recall the many rank amateurs who just didn't get it.

Contact Information
If you participate in my courses and have questions about material I present, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at netaustin@gmail.com.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2017-09-25/Traffic report

 * This traffic report is adapted from the Top 25 Report, prepared with commentary by OZOO (August 27 to September 2) and Igordebraga (September 3 to 9)

Let's get ready to read some Wikipedia articles!!!! (August 27 – September 2, 2017)
The Big Ol' Bout To Knock The Other Guy Out makes its presence felt on this list, with the two protagonists, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor taking the top two spots, and the fight itself in fifth. The fight does the unexpected – dethrone the ending seventh season of Game of Thrones; the season and the show take spots three and four respectively.

The devastating impact of Hurricane Harvey (#8), which struck Houston this week drew attention. Elsewhere, we find two much discussed women adjacent to each other – Diana, Princess of Wales in ninth for the twentieth anniversary of her death; and Taylor Swift in tenth following the release of her new single.

Blue Whale (#7) is still in the list, unfortunately. Lastly, the sentencing of Indian guru Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh (#6) keeps him in the list.

For the week of August 27 to September 2, 2017, the most popular articles on Wikipedia, as determined from the WP:5000 report were:

Clowns, hurricanes, and blow (September 3 to 9, 2017)
It was a really scary week: the Americas have people frightened of killer clowns in It (#1, #6), and losing their homes to the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season (#4, #7), and threatened to be deported by the Trump administration rescinding DACA (#2); meanwhile in Asia, India has the Blue Whale suicides (#3). The deaths in 2017 list even returned to the top 10. The escapism that always permeates the rest of the list, aside from football/soccer (#8) continues subjects as heavy as the monster clowns, with Narcos (#9) reviving interest in the Colombian cartels (#5).

For the week of September 3–9, 2017, the most popular articles on Wikipedia, as determined from the WP:5000 report were:

Exclusions

 * These lists excludes the Wikipedia main page, non-article pages (such as redlinks), and anomalous entries (such as DDoS attacks or likely automated views). Since mobile view data became available to the Report in October 2014, we exclude articles that have almost no mobile views (5–6% or less) or almost all mobile views (94–95% or more) because they are very likely to be automated views based on our experience and research of the issue.

Talk:David Amram

Raffi Lyrics Reference
In a song by Raffi, a children's entertainer, there are lyrics that are likely a reference to David Amram: A peanut butter sandwich made with jam One for me and one for David Amram A sample of the song can be heard here: http://music.yahoo.com/track/764615. Because both are musicians, I thought this was likely a reference to him, and wondered if anyone else agreed? I'm aware of the original research stigma, and could see where people might disagree.

Talk:German/Concepts Basic

Untitled
Hansm - I like the conversation you developed. It should replace the difficult one I had in Lesson 1 (1-2). Otherwise, the lesson material is similar to the existing, with the exception of discussing verbs. That can be started here, but I was holding off because so much material (vocab, pronouns, wortd order) needs inclusion. I can try putting the verb intro up front, or just delay one lesson (to your 0.2 for example) - Marsh 17:26, 7 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Marsh - what I have done here was just to show up my ideas. Yes, you are right, there is much more to be explained as I thought on the first view. Anyway, I think verb forms are more important than polite and familar forms, aytually, this are special verb forms. Integrate it in your lesson as you like. I know, it's not easy at all. Btw, you see, my English always needs corrections and my grammatical knowlage about German is more intuition than knowing, althought I'm quite sure about it. But It's realy hard for me to give grammatical rules since I don't need them myself. -- Hansm 19:30, 7 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Testing Questions
I do like this idea of having testing questions, developed here by <IP_ADDRESS> - Marsh 17:38, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Civ/Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri/Secret Project Index

Ascent to Transcendence

 * Prerequisite: Threshold of Transcendence
 * The Voice of Planet must also have been built by any faction

Build this and win a Transcendence Victory. A no-brainer unless you have a faster way to win.

Ascetic Virtues

 * Prerequisite: Planetary Economics
 * Increases base population limit by 2, gives +1 Police

Handy for everyone, of course, but Lal gets a real booster out of it, enabling him to get obscenely large bases well before Hab-Domes. For Morgan, it's a kicker too, all but eliminating his small base problem. The Spartans too, benefit greatly, as it enhances their existing police rating. Everybody else benefits, but not as much as these three.

In Alien Crossfire, this plus a Brood Pit brings you to the magic +3 Police rating where police effect is doubled (unless your faction has an inherent police penalty). However, Brood Pits come fairly late at Centauri Genetics.

Bulk Matter Transmitter

 * Prerequisite: Matter Transmission
 * Increases every base's production by 50%.

Despite its in-game description, the Bulk Matter Transmitter seems to increase every base's production by 50%. By the time you can build this, ecodamage will be a serious problem. An unexpected 50% jump in your production will cause rampant fungal pops and global warming. If you anticipate its effect, however, the boost in production can be very nice, though of course it comes very late in the game.

Citizen's Defense Force

 * Prerequisite: Intellectual Integrity
 * Free Perimeter Defense in every base.

If Perimeter Defenses had an upkeep cost, this project would rank right up there with the others that provided free facilities, but since Perimeter Defense works are free (no maintenance cost), the value of this project is somewhat reduced. Still, it does save you time, especially if you have a large number of exposed bases, and so is fairly important, but non-critical, though you might expect a Momentum player to run for it as part of a denial strategy. Yang also doesn't need this because he already has its benefits, so for him it is useful mostly as a pre-build or for denial.

Clinical Immortality

 * Prerequisite: Matter Editation
 * +1 talent at every base. Doubles your votes in elections for Planetary Governor and Supreme Leader.

Talents = Drone control, and at this point in the game, you've probably got a sprawling empire and this is just the thing! It's certainly not crucial (not even for Zakharov by this stage), but very nice to have if you can free up a base for it.

Cloning Vats

 * Prerequisite: Biomachinery
 * All bases are in a state of population boom.

We can't think of a single reason not to build this project, except perhaps for the fact that it will make you the target of envy and, in all probability, attack...but hey, enjoy it while you got it!

Cloudbase Academy

 * Prerequisite: Mind/Machine Interface
 * Free Aerospace Complex in every base.
 * Alien Crossfire only

If you want to get and keep air superiority, get this project! If you plan to make use of satellites in your game, get this project! If someone else gets this project, get that base! If you can't do that, nuke it. It's that important. Note though, that if you get this project, people will gang up on you, and if they don't, you almost can't help but win. Not only do you get two extra points of movement for all your aircraft, but you get a morale boost, make it harder for people to use drop teams on you, and your satellites automatically have their maximum impact at all your bases. Simply too good to pass on.

Cyborg Factory

 * Prerequisite: Mind/Machine Interface
 * Free Bioenhancement Center in every base.

In the Alien Crossfire world, Mind/Machine Interface is probably the most desired tech in the game. Not only does it give you choppers and thinkers, but it also gives you TWO secret projects! Awesome ones at that! Bio-enhancement centers are expensive from an upkeep standpoint, and they improve morale of ALL your units, making this project a must have, no matter who you are!

Command Nexus

 * Prerequisite: Doctrine: Loyalty
 * Free Command Center in every base.

Another project that provides free facilities, this too, will be highly sought after by a number of players, regardless of style. Builders will likely spend long periods of time running Wealth, and the presence of this project will enable them to perfectly counter Wealth's singular negative. Also, Builders will want this project badly as part of a denial strategy against Momentum players, forcing the Momentum gang to take the time to build Command Centers if they want those morale upgrades. Momentum and Hybrid folk will also count this as a high priority, for obvious reasons. Their standing forces become 25% more lethal with its completion. More bang for your buck!

Dream-Twister

 * Prerequisite: The Will to Power
 * +50% to psi attack

Even if you have no intention of making use of Psi attackers, you need this project so that the Worm lovers don't come over and pay you an unwelcome visit. About the only time you don't need this one is if you have the Neural Amplifier, but even then, it might be good to pick it up for denial. Also, if you're into Navy at all, grab this one! Your Isles of the Deep, which are already awesome, will be all but unbeatable!

Empath Guild

 * Prerequisite: Centauri Empathy
 * Builder gets commlinks for and infiltration of every faction.
 * Builder gets 50% more votes in Council elections

From a defensive perspective, the most important element of the game is to take what steps you can to ensure that your datalinks are not infiltrated, and as this project grants infiltration access to whomever completes it, it is easily one of the most despised projects in the game. I have seen coalitions formed solely on the basis of eliminating the player who builds this project, which speaks volumes about the scope of its power. Build it if at all possible, just to deny anyone else access to it, and, if it appears later that someone will take it from you, don't hesitate to burn the base to the ground to prevent it from falling into enemy hands! It really is that important!

Human Genome Project

 * Prerequisite: Biogenetics
 * +1 talents in every base. Prevents Prometheus Virus outbreaks.

Another fantastic early game project! Talents are so vital to drone control, and this puts an extra talent at each base. If you favor Domai or Lal, with their fewer drones or higher number of talents, this project alone will enable you to forego the building of drone control facilities almost to the middle game, and if you're playing a drone-sensitive faction like Zak's researchers, the project will go a long way in undoing your chronic drone problems. Other factions will benefit greatly from it as well, though some may want it purely as part of a denial strategy (I'm specifically thinking Yang and Santiago here, who can easily control all their drones via police), still, no matter what the reasonings behind it, the fact is, this is a project that will be quite high on a number of people's lists!

Hunter-Seeker Algorithm

 * Prerequisite: Pre-Sentient Algorithms
 * Destroys incoming probe teams
 * Alien Crossfire only: Probe teams with Algorithmic Enhancement are not destroyed.

Even in the Alien Crossfire world, where the power of this project has been weakened, it should still be considered critical to every player in the game. Even those factions who have probe-immunity will want it from a purely denial standpoint, making this one of the most sought after secret projects out there.

Living Refinery

 * Prerequisite: Advanced Spaceflight
 * Gives +2 Support.

At this point in the game, support is usually only an issue if you're running Thought Control, and even then, with Clean Reactors it's not that big a deal. Nonetheless, clean reactors are expensive, and if you're running Social Engineering choices that lend you support anyway, this is a good way to be able to build large numbers of "non-clean" troops — which means that the ability slot formerly occupied by "clean" can be filled in with something else. For that reason alone it's quite handy, and if you're playing Miriam, mark it down as a must-have!

Longevity Vaccine

 * Prerequisite: Bioengineering
 * +50% Economy at this base for Free Market economics
 * -2 Drones at every base for Planned economics
 * -1 Drone at every base for Simple or Green economics

The Clean Reactor tech also gives you a cash cow. If you have the Merchant Exchange someplace, toss this onto the pile as well, and you'll have a base that can single-handedly pay for the infrastructure at a lot of your bases. If not, it's fairly useful, but certainly not critical, though for Zak (when he's not running Market) the Drone control is nice.

Manifold Harmonics

 * Prerequisite: Secrets of the Manifolds
 * Increases monolith and fungus production according to your Planet rating:
 * 0 Planet: +1 energy
 * 1 Planet: +1 nutrient, +1 energy
 * 2 Planet: +1 nutrient, +1 mineral, +1 energy
 * 3+ Planet: +1 nutrient, +1 mineral, +2 energy

Alien Crossfire only

This project makes fungus the best terrain in the game. Unfortunately, if you're like most players, you've just spent the entire game minimizing the amount of fungus in your empire. It's a good project, don't get me wrong, but unless you're playing one of the Native lovers, it's not a great project.

Maritime Control Center

 * Prerequisite: Doctrine: Initiative
 * Free Naval Yard in every base.

Comes a bit later in the early game, and is another project that provides free facilities. It's importance is directly tied to two things: What other factions are in the game (if the Pirates are playing, then you need this!), and how important a strong Naval presence is to your game. If Naval power is relatively unimportant to you, then skip this project, but note that whoever builds it will have ships with two (2) extra movement points, making Marine strikes of coastal bases that much harder to spot!

Merchant Exchange

 * Prerequisite: Industrial Base
 * +1 energy every square at this base.

A good project, but not a great project. For certain factions, it can be a godsend (Yang, Deirdre, and Cha'Dawn especially) but for others, it's almost a waste of time until energy restrictions come off (Example: Morgan: Running wealth gives him +1 energy per square anyway, and with a maximum of 2r pre-restriction lifting, a good portion of the power of the ME will be lost in the early game). Combine that with the fact that its impact is limited to one base, and you have a project which is useful in the early game, extremely useful in the middle game, but non-critical at any point.

Nano-Factory

 * Prerequisite: Industrial Nanorobotics
 * Allows units to be fully repaired when not in a base.

Anybody who has a standing army of any size at all (and you'd better, by this point in the game) will want this project! Not only does it dramatically lower your upgrade costs, but it also (and more importantly) allows your forces to fully recover in the field in a single turn. You just can't get any better than that!

Net-Hack Terminus
Alien Crossfire only
 * Prerequisite: Self-Aware Machines
 * +1 morale to all Probe Teams.
 * -25% cost of Probe Team actions.
 * Probe teams with Fusion Reactor or higher automatically have Algorithmic Enhancement.

Again, the probe bonus comes too late in the game to do you much good, as you would really have to try hard not to have elite Probe Teams, but if you missed the Hunter-Seeker Algorithm, this one's not bad to get.

(As a side note: what's with the name of this Project? Have your Probe Teams ascended so often in NetHack that they consider enemy security measures to be below their skills?)

Network Backbone

 * Prerequisite: Digital Sentience
 * Eliminates penalties for Cybernetic model
 * +1 research for each point of Commerce at this base.
 * +1 research for every Network Node in the game.

For the money, it's not as good as it should be, because its value is too much tied to world size, which in turn, helps determine overall number of bases. Nonetheless, because it helps research, it should be fairly high on your list. Cyborgs don't need it, because they're already immune to the negatives of Cybernetic society, but it's still nice for the research kick.

Neural Amplifier

 * Prerequisite: Neural Grafting
 * +50% Psi defense.

Another project that comes later on in the early game, and one of the best defensive projects in the entire game. Essentially, this gives every unit you ever build the equivalent of "Trance" ability, and can be further enhanced by actually building "Trance" units. For Marketeers, this one is highly prized, and for players pursuing a heavy Native strategy, it's equally highly prized as part of a denial strategy. Non-native based Momentum players (and some Hybrids) will generally consider this project of only secondary importance and will seldom pursue it with much vigor.

Pholus Mutagen

 * Prerequisite: Centauri Genetics
 * +1 Ecology at every base
 * Your units gain combat advantages in fungus normally reserved for native life.
 * +1 lifecycle for any native units you breed

Unless you're one of the "Native" factions (and to a lesser extent, Morgan), this one's only marginally useful, though the ecology bonus will help you jack your mineral counts up slightly higher, but once you hit somewhere around 40, you really don't need that. Still, if you're playing Gaian, Cult, or Morgan, I'd put it fairly high on the list, and if you're playing against one of them, you'll want to pick it up just so they can't.

Planetary Datalinks

 * Prerequisite: Cyberethics
 * You automatically learn any tech discovered by three factions you have contact with.

Seldom even built in multiplayer games, unless it's a free-for-all with six players. Good one to deny the AI though.

Planetary Energy Grid
Alien Crossfire only
 * Prerequisite: Adaptive Economics
 * Free Energy Bank at every base.
 * +25% returns from Stockpile Energy

Even if you never plan to stockpile energy at any of your bases, the fact that it gives you a cash enhancing facility for free (no maintenance cost) at every base is an enormous boon. This project is everything that the Merchant Exchange is not, and is much more valuable because of it.

Planetary Transit System

 * Prerequisite: Industrial Automation
 * -1 Drones at all bases size 3 and under
 * Any bases you found start at size 3
 * Upon completion, bases size 2 or smaller immediately grow to size 3.

Even if you have no immediate plans to expand, this project is a must have from a denial standpoint! If you don't snag it, someone could quite easily "Borg" their way to dominance!

Self-Aware Colony

 * Prerequisite: Self-Aware Machines
 * Halves maintenance costs for facilities
 * If your Police rating allows use of police, counts as an extra police unit in every base.

The influx of cash you get when your maintenance costs are halved makes this project one of the fastest to pay for itself. If you're going for the economic win, this is crucial, and it's pretty important in general, because by this stage of the game, you've got a lot of maintenance every turn. A good investment, no matter how you slice it.

Singularity Inductor

 * Prerequisite: Controlled Singularity
 * Free Quantum Converter in every base.

Comes too late in the game to really be useful. By this point, you've got more mineral production than you need anyway. This is an average project, at best, and too expensive for the relatively short lifespan it has.

Space Elevator

 * Prerequisite: Super Tensile Solids
 * Allows units with Drop Pods to perform Orbital Insertions anywhere on the planet.
 * Doubles production in any bases producing orbital improvements.

If you're planning to make heavy use of Satellites to enhance your factors of production, or if you entered the space race late and want to play catch up, this project will be a huge boon! Otherwise, even as a denial project, its only average.

Supercollider

 * Prerequisite: Applied Relativity
 * Doubles Lab output of this city.

If your middle game is not energy based, then it should be. Research and technology are so vital to the middle game, and a project like this — one that doubles lab outputs at a given base — how can you not start drooling over the prospect! No matter what your faction or pre-disposition, build it before someone else does!

Telepathic Matrix

 * Prerequisite: Eudaimonia
 * Your bases never riot.
 * +2 Probe Team morale.

Most people stopped having drone problems a long time ago, and this project comes too late to really be of outstanding benefit for the money, but it does cut down on the need to micromanage your bases. The probe bonus is an utterly useless feature of this project, as by this point, your probes are elite anyway. They can't get any higher. Average at best, but handy if you're tired of micromanagement.

Theory of Everything

 * Prerequisite: Unified Field Theory
 * Doubles Lab output of this city.

Another lab-doubler, and every bit as important as the one that comes before it. Get it. You need it. Trust me.

Universal Translator

 * Prerequisite: Homo Superior
 * Two free technology advances upon completion.

Did somebody say free techs?! If you don't go for this one, you erode your tech position, allowing others to catch up, and if you're behind in tech, and happen to get to Homo-Superior first (thanks to your path up the tech-tree), this may be just the thing that enables you to catch up!

Virtual World

 * Prerequisite: Planetary Networks
 * All Network Nodes count as free Hologram Theatres

Any project that gives you a free facility which would normally require an upkeep cost if you had to actually build the facility it gives is automatically an important project, and even if drone control is not high on your list of concerns, building network nodes probably is, so why not have those net nodes serve two purposes, rather than just one? All in all, this is one of the most powerful early game projects around, both in terms of money saved by not having to build infrastructure, and in terms of control all the way through to the mid-game. Even more important to Zakharov to control his drones and he already has the nodes, for free.

Voice of Planet

 * Prerequisite: Threshold of Transcendence
 * Allows construction of the Ascent to Transcendence Secret Project and the Temple of Planet facility. Any alien lifeforms you breed get a +1 Lifecycle bonus.

Building this allows you to build the Ascent of Transcendence, although it may sometimes be best to wait for somebody else to build the Voice. Alien lifeforms you breed also get a +1 lifecycle bonus. If you must build the Voice yourself, start building it in your second-most productive base, then a few turns later in the most productive base, making sure it will finish in the former base first. Then when the Voice is built, switch your best base to building the Ascent!

This must also be built before you can build Temple of Planet facilities, but this is nearly inconsequential because the construction of the Voice of Planet marks the beginning of the end — if that hadn't begun already.

Weather Paradigm

 * Prerequisite: Centauri Ecology
 * Cuts terraforming times in half, and gives you access to all of the advanced terraforming techniques short of Soil Enrichment.

This project will help you enormously no matter what faction you play! The ability to begin construction of Condensers and Boreholes inside the first hundred turns of play is....simply too huge to pass on! No matter what your style or faction of choice, this project should be very high on your list, and in MP games, whoever gets it will be far ahead of every other player in that game from the moment resource restrictions begin to come off.

Xenoempathy Dome

 * Prerequisite: Centauri Meditation
 * All fungus squares are treated as roads. The rate at which your formers plant and remove fungus is doubled.  All native lifeforms you breed gain a +1 lifecycle bonus.

Anyone who plans on pursuing a "Native" strategy, or anyone who is completely hemmed in by fungus in the early game really, really, really needs this project. Otherwise, skip it for something more essential. Another unstated effect of this project is that units in fungus can fully heal.

Notability
Is this vaccine notable enough to be described in the Wikipedia project? `a5b (talk) 01:47, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The head of the Gamaleya Institute said that Gam-COVID-Vac was based on this and MERS vaccines made by them . Plus lots of other publications about the topic on the internet.--Александр Мотин (talk) 10:16, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Are there peer reviewed publications about GamEvac-Combi? Wikipedia is not right place to repost russian state sponsored propaganda (or claims by officials) WP:NOTPROPAGANDA / WP:NOTPROMO. `a5b (talk) 05:17, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * your words about propaganda does not cause anything but a smile --Александр Мотин (talk) 16:22, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * So there is one smile and zero peer reviewed publications? `a5b (talk) 04:11, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Then what? --Александр Мотин (talk) 19:17, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Such a claim as "zero peer-reviewed publications" was supposed to go before whipping out the word "propaganda", which I consider to be a profanity, an insinuation, even. Uchyotka (talk) 20:33, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

A clear picture
Someone needs to put in the clearer picture for this actress, because the one on the infobox is blurry. BattleshipMan (talk) 06:05, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Believe me when i say this, there is NO free picture available of her..I put in a lot of effort to make her current pic as good as it can get..-- Stemoc 06:11, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

The image has to be made smaller so that it won't look so blurry. JDDJS (talk) 02:59, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Delete - non-notable person that fails WP:BIO, probably an autobiography (main contributor is User:JayFray84, whose only contribs have been related to this article). IMDB.com page lists two credits, one for a production assistant and one for a stand-in; the content of the page reveals he is just a minor regional actor yet to achieve much notability. not many Ghits when searching for the quoted name plus "actor."
