Progress?
So it's now past the deadline for the project, and what do we have so far? EAS 07:42, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It's really saddening to see it, but it seems this project has been abandoned. Perhaps we should add a note stating that the project is currently inactive on the main page so nobody gets confused? Habstinat (talk) 01:27, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

3DTheatre.org
Have people on this project seen the 3DTheater.org project? --Rayc 15:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikinews
I have no idea if this is useful or not, but you may be intreasted in the attempts in the past to make video news programs for wikinews (they havn't really been succesful because the main contributors doing them have left Wikinews).

An idea
Let's aim for a 30 second synopsis of the project to date. A good idea? --HappyCamper 03:19, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you mean something like this? Short projects could be done at Wikiversity shorts. --JWSchmidt 03:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Not really...that link doesn't seem to be reflective of what I had in mind...Hard to qualify though. --HappyCamper 21:40, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Mascot
Can we make a cute mascot for the Wikiversity movie? And say, have it visit different sorts of pages as a way to teach others about the Wiki software and what this project is all about? --HappyCamper 22:38, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm trying to imagine a cute mascot named "Wiklar". --JWSchmidt 23:46, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Something green...maybe a cute frog with large eyes and glasses. It's like a friendly pet. --HappyCamper 14:42, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * How about an owl?--Rayc 15:47, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oooh, very sage! --HappyCamper 10:56, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

An example
Here is an example project on how a group of people that don't know each other come together to make a movie. Maybe we should deside on people we need and then start a voice actor auditions?--Rayc 23:50, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking we could have a rather fact-oriented history of the project including video of Jimbo's talks where he did his "free the curriculum" and the announcement of the project lunch this past summer. I think it would be good to split the facts up with some more entertaining short features. Voice auditions are good. GarageBand has some filters that make your voice sound better than usual. --JWSchmidt 02:36, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Propose Name be "Wikiversity: Education in the New Millennium".
Capitalizing "New Millennium" seems to this participant to give a more compelling appearance to the proposed title. -- Dionysios (talk), Date: 2007-03-12 (March 12, 2007) Time: 2027 UTC
 * I wonder when a millennium stops being "new". --JWSchmidt 15:55, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Not a bad idea, but as JWSchmidt said, millenium is kinda too late. How bout something like "Wikiversity: Education for the next generation", or something like that. EAS 07:43, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

How long?
Are we talking about a 2 minute, 30 minute, 2 hour video? I think it would be wise to start with a teaser no?
 * Short sounds good for begin. We can also use this to win participants for the learning project itself, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 18:31, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * This is the key first question for me - along with what the video will be used for. I'd suggest 5-10 mins for the video - after that it would take considerable commitment from anyone to actually watch it - which rather defeats one of the main purposes as I understand it: promote Wikiversity to a newcomer audience. Cormaggio talk 21:46, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Only one movie ?
I am wondering, it is not told anywhere explicitly, but should we create several videos ? Because everybody sees Wikiversity different - we could reflect that in the diversity. Though then we might split our available contributors and things could take longer. Also perhaps it would result in less collaborative work (perhaps not, if many join) ? What do you think ? Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 17:29, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Different videos are always an option - but first, there needs to be some sort of concrete idea for one video that other videos can then differentiate themselves from. Unless you propose to work in separate semi-autonomous groups from the beginning? Btw, that's not necessarily a bad thing - and there is always the openness to collaboration in the form of feedback/critique... Cormaggio talk 21:53, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

 * How about an "MTV format" where the format is one or more Video DJs introducing however many one to three minute shorts are created? We can even include commercials that are a pitch for a donation to WikiMedia. WAS 4.250 20:31, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

A motivational slogan: "Coming soon to a wiki theater near you !"
What do you think about a slogan which motivates people to join this learning project ? This is not a slogan for the final movie, it is a try to get to infect people with this sentence - so they hopefully participate. Other ideas for such motivational slogans ?

I was thinking
I have this animating software called Endorphin. Would it help anyone if I created an animation of people in a school for one shot of this movie? Straight Edge PXK 15:01, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Creating new Wiki cover for movie
I have been thinking if it could be any chance I would have changed many things on my perspective.

Hazard Perception Test

The hazard perception test is part of the United Kingdom driving test. The test is intended to check a candidate’s ability to detect developing situations that require a motorist to take some action, such as changing speed or direction.

The test was introduced in 2002 and updated in 2015 with computer generated clips replacing the live action videos.

Test description
The hazard perception test is administered as part of the theory test and is taken immediately after the multiple-choice questions. Learner drivers can sit the test from the age of 17. Those on the higher rate component of Disability Living Allowance are able to take the test at 16.

For the purposes of the test, a "developing hazard" is something that requires a motorist to change speed and / or direction. This includes cars entering traffic from an adjoining road, pedestrians crossing the road, cyclists entering the motorist’s lane while manoeuvring around a stopped vehicle and a preceding car stopping suddenly.

The test consists of video clips that contain one, or for one of the clips two, hazards. The candidate watches the video clip and, using the mouse, clicks to flag an incident as they see it develop. On the clip with two incidents, the candidate must flag both.

The earlier a candidate notices a developing hazard and make a response, the higher the score. The highest score for each hazard is 5 points.

The test instructions are to respond once to each hazard and warns that multiple clicks will result in a zero score. However, if a candidate flags a hazard as she or he sees it develop but before the scoring period as defined by the test’s designers has opened, zero points will be registered. The government revealed in an FOI request that 299 out of 515 complaints received about the test during 2009-2011 related to scoring.

After completing the test, the candidate receives a paper printout showing grades for both the multiple-choice questions and the hazard perception test. The candidate must pass both tests to continue to the practical test; if either part is failed, both must be taken again. The pass mark for cars is 44 of 75 across 14 video clips, 57 of 75 for approved driving instructors and 67 of 100 for lorry drivers.

The test is also in other countries and territories, such as Australia.

Worldwide
A variant of the test is required to attain a driving license in many Australian states, including Victoria, New South Wales, and Western Australia.

Wikibooks talk:No offensive usernames

Initial text adapted from en:Wikipedia:No offensive usernames --mav 07:57, 24 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Yes

 * RobinH 09:39, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

No

 * 1) Why are we creating rules where no problem exists? Don't we want to at least try asking someone nicely if they will use a different name? Before we make ourselves little dictators of our virtual domain, perhaps we ought to think about the ramifications. Systems of crime and punishment are a failure state. They are an admission that we weren't able to work congenially as co-editors on a common project — that our little Animal Farm couldn't exist without making some of us "more equal." Do we really want to duplicate the system of punishment and vandalism that exists at Wikipedia? Is their instruction creep working for them? Perhaps we could learn something from our founder:"The problem we are seeing, again and again, is this attitude that some poor victim of a biased rant in Wikipedia ought to not get pissed and take us up on our offer of 'anyone can edit' but should rather immerse themselves in our arcane internal culture until they understand the right way to get things done. I do not know what is going to change, but something BIG has got to happen and SOON about this issue, because the amount of time it is consuming for some of our best editors is getting way out of control. ~Jimbo Wales May 3, 2006 WikiEN-l" --Zephram Stark 04:19, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) If needed should be done at the wikimedia software level not as a policy. --Panic 07:26, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) From the current version: "however this has yet to occur in practice."!! This is far too explicit. Be civil and Profanity already cover it nicely and the better parts of it (e.g. "While colorful, interesting, or expressive names may add to the pleasure of Wikibooks, they are not essential.") may be added to those. Some parts of this are even bad (e.g. "Fairly or unfairly, the line between acceptable and unacceptable user names is drawn by the people who are offended, not by the creator of the name." I remember seeing a request by someone who was offended by a username. The whole thing was a misunderstanding, but that didn't deter the offended who refused to listen to reason). --Swift 16:55, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Merger to Profanity
I propose we merge the text of this policy into Profanity. I also propose that after the merger, we move the new composite policy to enforced status. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 22:03, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Doesn't it need to have consensus to become a enforced policy ?!?
 * Words like "Avoid" aren't prohibitive and then at the end of the section "Users with offensive usernames may be blocked without prior warning." seems very prohibitive and against the votes here. --Panic 07:29, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * It does require concensus. I have proposed those changes, and I am asking the community to try and agree on it. If we dont reach concensus, this things wont happen. I agree with you that there are inconsistencies with the language in this one, and those need to be corrected. I would rather not make any substantive changes to this proposal until we've discussed the merger to Profanity. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 12:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I propose we don't. The essential parts are currently coverd by Be civil and Profanity (though both are still only proposed). We don't need to it to be so explicit and we'll have a better time at getting consensus on those I mentioned if they don't have stuff in them which doesn't even seem to have majority support! --Swift 16:48, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

 * You are right in saying that the important material here is duplicated in other places. However, those other places are themselves still just proposals. If we move to reject this policy, then it would seem we should move to enforce Be civil and Profanity. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 17:05, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

 * How about not rejecting anything till the matter has been accepted in some policy? I say we go for Profanity first. If we get consensus on that we can move to reject this one. If not, we can revisit this one. --Swift 19:51, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree. Let's focus our attention on that policy first. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 23:48, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Move to Reject
I am moving to reject this policy. All the key points here are already found in Profanity, and This policy is poorly written in comparison to that one. Also, I am simultaneously moving to enforce Profanity. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 15:01, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Support as soon as Profanity has been made official. --Swift 04:28, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I have moved this one to rejected I see no reason to wait for the profanity policy, because with or without that proposal being accepted, there is no desire to keep this one. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 15:08, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Resia Boroboedoer

Resia Boroboedoer (Secret of Borobudur) is a 1929 adventure film produced by Nancing Film Corp. Starring Chinese actress Olive Young, it followed a young woman on her quest to find Gautama Buddha's ashes in the temple of Borobudur. The production cost of the film, which was panned, led to the collapse of its studio.

Plot
Young Pei Fen goes from mainland China to Java. In her father's book Youn Lun Fah, she has read that a jar with Gautama Buddha's ashes is hidden in the temple of Borobudur. The temple's guardian, Gandha Soewasti, unsuccessfully forbids her from looking. When Young is out searching, betel juice drips onto her. Thinking that Gandha is behind this, she finds the guardian and beats her with a chair. Gandha's friend Koesoema tries to have vengeance on Young with black magic, but Gandha uses her own magic to stop him.

In the temple, Young finds a doorway leading down. However, she collapses after poisonous gas leaks out of the room. Gandha rescues her and reveals that she owed a life debt to Young's father, Lun Fah, who had rescued her from a bandit thirty years previously. Gandha had also given Lun Fah the book. Young decides to abandon her search for the ashes, and instead leads an ascetic life as a guard to the temple with Gandha.

Production
Resia Borobudur was produced by the newly established Nancing Film Corp in 1928. It was the second film produced by Chinese conglomerates in the Indies, after Lily van Java (1928), and the first to be directly targeted at ethnic Chinese. The film was silent and shot in black and white.

Olive Young, a mixed-race woman from Shanghai, was cast in the lead role and paid a large sum of 2,000 Dutch guilders monthly for her work with the studio. She was widely known and reported for her sensuality, and not averse to kissing men in public, something considered unladylike at the time. This was reflected in the film, which showed Young in a bikini-like costume; this was the most skin yet shown in a film from the Dutch East Indies.

Release and reception
Resia Borobudur was released in Batavia (modern day Jakarta) in July 1929. It was a critical flop, and generally decried as illogical and having poor image quality; viewers also described it as a "bastard" film owing to Young's crudeness. The film critic Kwee Tek Hoay questioned how a girl from Sumatra could have found a Chinese-language book, or how Young could communicate with the Javanese – who could not speak Mandarin.

Nancing Film Corp went bankrupt after the film's release, from paying both Young's living costs and building a large studio in Batavia. Young went on to have a minor career in Hollywood.

Leavitt path algebra

In mathematics, a Leavitt path algebra is a universal algebra constructed from a directed graph. Leavitt path algebras generalize Leavitt algebras and may be considered as algebraic analogues of graph C*-algebras.

History
Leavitt path algebras were simultaneously introduced in 2005 by Gene Abrams and Gonzalo Aranda Pino as well as by Pere Ara, María Moreno, and Enrique Pardo, with neither of the two groups aware of the other's work. Leavitt path algebras have been investigated by dozens of mathematicians since their introduction, and in 2020 Leavitt path algebras were added to the Mathematics Subject Classification with code 16S88 under the general discipline of Associative Rings and Algebras.

The basic reference is the book Leavitt Path Algebras.

Graph terminology
The theory of Leavitt path algebras uses terminology for graphs similar to that of C*-algebraists, which differs slightly from that used by graph theorists. The term graph is typically taken to mean a directed graph $$E=(E^0, E^1, r, s)$$ consisting of a countable set of vertices $$E^0$$, a countable set of edges $$E^1$$, and maps $$r, s : E^1 \rightarrow E^0$$ identifying the range and source of each edge, respectively. A vertex $$v \in E^0$$ is called a sink when $$s^{-1}(v) = \emptyset$$; i.e., there are no edges in $$E$$ with source $$v$$. A vertex $$v \in E^0$$ is called an infinite emitter when $$s^{-1}(v)$$ is infinite; i.e., there are infinitely many edges in $$E$$ with source $$v$$. A vertex is called a singular vertex if it is either a sink or an infinite emitter, and a vertex is called a regular vertex if it is not a singular vertex. Note that a vertex $$v$$ is regular if and only if the number of edges in $$E$$ with source $$v$$ is finite and nonzero. A graph is called row-finite if it has no infinite emitters; i.e., if every vertex is either a regular vertex or a sink.

A path is a finite sequence of edges $$e_1 e_2 \ldots e_n$$ with $$r(e_i) = s(e_{i+1})$$ for all $$1 \leq i \leq n-1$$. An infinite path is a countably infinite sequence of edges $$e_1 e_2 \ldots $$ with $$r(e_i) = s(e_{i+1})$$ for all $$i \in \mathbb{N}$$. A cycle is a path $$e_1 e_2 \ldots e_n$$ with $$r(e_n) = s(e_1)$$, and an exit for a cycle $$e_1 e_2 \ldots e_n$$ is an edge $$f \in E^1$$ such that $$s(f) = s(e_i)$$ and $$f \neq e_i$$ for some $$1 \leq i \leq n$$. A cycle $$e_1 e_2 \ldots e_n$$ is called a simple cycle if $$s(e_i) \neq s(e_1)$$ for all $$2 \leq i \leq n$$.

The following are two important graph conditions that arise in the study of Leavitt path algebras.

Condition (L): Every cycle in the graph has an exit.

Condition (K): There is no vertex in the graph that is on exactly one simple cycle. Equivalently, a graph satisfies Condition (K) if and only if each vertex in the graph is either on no cycles or on two or more simple cycles.

The Cuntz–Krieger relations and the universal property
Fix a field $$K$$. A Cuntz–Krieger $$E$$-family is a collection $$\{ s_e^*, s_e, p_v : e \in E^1, v \in E^0 \}$$ in a $$K$$-algebra such that the following three relations (called the Cuntz–Krieger relations) are satisfied:

 * (CK0) $$ p_v p_w = \begin{cases} p_v & \text{if } v=w \\ 0 & \text{if } v\neq w \end{cases} \quad$$ for all $$v, w \in E^0$$,
 * (CK1) $$ s_e^* s_f = \begin{cases} p_{r(e)} & \text{if } e=f \\ 0 & \text{if } e\neq f \end{cases} \quad$$ for all $$e, f \in E^0$$,
 * (CK2) $$p_v = \sum_{s(e)=v} s_e s_e^*$$ whenever $$v$$ is a regular vertex, and
 * (CK3) $$p_{s(e)} s_e = s_e$$ for all $$e \in E^1$$.

The Leavitt path algebra corresponding to $$E$$, denoted by $$L_K(E)$$, is defined to be the $$K$$-algebra generated by a Cuntz–Krieger $$E$$-family that is universal in the sense that whenever $$\{ t_e, t_e^*, q_v : e \in E^1, v \in E^0 \}$$ is a Cuntz–Krieger $$E$$-family in a $$K$$-algebra $$A$$ there exists a $$K$$-algebra homomorphism $$\phi : L_K(E) \to A$$ with $$\phi(s_e) = t_e$$ for all $$e \in E^1$$, $$\phi(s_e^*) = t_e^*$$ for all $$e \in E^1$$, and $$\phi(p_v)=q_v$$ for all $$v \in E^0$$.

We define $$p_v^* := p_v$$ for $$v \in E^0$$, and for a path $$\alpha := e_1 \ldots e_n$$ we define $$s_\alpha := s_{e_1} \ldots s_{e_n}$$ and $$s_\alpha^* := s_{e_n}^* \ldots s_{e_1}^*$$. Using the Cuntz–Krieger relations, one can show that

 * $$L_K(E) = \operatorname{span}_K \{ s_\alpha s_\beta^* : \alpha \text{ and } \beta \text{ are paths in } E \}.$$

Thus a typical element of $$L_K(E)$$ has the form $$\sum_{i=1}^n \lambda_i s_{\alpha_i} s_{\beta_i}^*$$ for scalars $$\lambda_1, \ldots,\lambda_n \in K$$ and paths $$\alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_n, \beta_1, \ldots, \beta_n$$ in $$E$$. If $$K$$ is a field with an involution $$\lambda \mapsto \overline{\lambda}$$ (e.g., when $$K=\mathbb{C}$$), then one can define a *-operation on $$L_K(E)$$ by $$\sum_{i=1}^n \lambda_i s_{\alpha_i} s_{\beta_i}^* \mapsto \sum_{i=1}^n \overline{\lambda_i} s_{\beta_i} s_{\alpha_i}^*$$ that makes $$L_K(E)$$ into a *-algebra.

Moreover, one can show that for any graph $$E$$, the Leavitt path algebra $$L_{\mathbb{C}}(E)$$ is isomorphic to a dense *-subalgebra of the graph C*-algebra $$C^*(E)$$.

Examples
Leavitt path algebras has been computed for many graphs, and the following table shows some particular graphs and their Leavitt path algebras. We use the convention that a double arrow drawn from one vertex to another and labeled $$\infty$$ indicates that there are a countably infinite number of edges from the first vertex to the second.

Correspondence between graph and algebraic properties
As with graph C*-algebras, graph-theoretic properties of $$E$$ correspond to algebraic properties of $$L_K(E)$$. Interestingly, it is often the case that the graph properties of $$E$$ that are equivalent to an algebraic property of $$L_K(E)$$ are the same graph properties of $$E$$ that are equivalent to corresponding C*-algebraic property of $$C^*(E)$$, and moreover, many of the properties for $$L_K(E)$$ are independent of the field $$K$$.

The following table provides a short list of some of the more well-known equivalences. The reader may wish to compare this table with the corresponding table for graph C*-algebras.

The grading
For a path $$\alpha := e_1 \ldots e_n$$ we let $$|\alpha| := n$$ denote the length of $$\alpha$$. For each integer $$n \in \mathbb{Z}$$ we define $$L_K(E)_n := \operatorname{span}_K \{ s_\alpha s_\beta^* : |\alpha|-|\beta| = n \}$$. One can show that this defines a $\mathbb{Z}$-grading on the Leavitt path algebra $$L_K(E)$$ and that $$L_K(E) = \bigoplus_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} L_K(E)_n$$ with $$L_K(E)_n$$ being the component of homogeneous elements of degree $$n$$. It is important to note that the grading depends on the choice of the generating Cuntz-Krieger $$E$$-family $$\{ s_e, s_e^*, p_v : e \in E^1, v \in E^0 \}$$. The grading on the Leavitt path algebra $$L_K(E)$$ is the algebraic analogue of the gauge action on the graph C*-algebra $C*(E)$, and it is a fundamental tool in analyzing the structure of $$L_K(E)$$.

The uniqueness theorems
There are two well-known uniqueness theorems for Leavitt path algebras: the graded uniqueness theorem and the Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness theorem. These are analogous, respectively, to the gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem and Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness theorem for graph C*-algebras. Formal statements of the uniqueness theorems are as follows:

The Graded Uniqueness Theorem: Fix a field $$K$$. Let $$E$$ be a graph, and let $$L_K(E)$$ be the associated Leavitt path algebra. If $$A$$ is a graded $$K$$-algebra and $$\phi : L_K(E) \to A$$ is a graded algebra homomorphism with $$\phi(p_v) \neq 0$$ for all $$v \in E^0$$, then $$\phi$$ is injective.

The Cuntz-Krieger Uniqueness Theorem:  Fix a field $$K$$. Let $$E$$ be a graph satisfying Condition (L), and let $$L_K(E)$$ be the associated Leavitt path algebra. If $$A$$ is a $$K$$-algebra and $$\phi : L_K(E) \to A$$ is an algebra homomorphism with $$\phi(p_v) \neq 0$$ for all $$v \in E^0$$, then $$\phi$$ is injective.

Ideal structure
We use the term ideal to mean "two-sided ideal" in our Leavitt path algebras. The ideal structure of $$L_K(E)$$ can be determined from $$E$$. A subset of vertices $$H \subseteq E^0$$ is called hereditary if for all $$e \in E^1$$, $$s(e) \in H$$ implies $$r(e) \in H$$. A hereditary subset $$H$$ is called saturated if whenever $$v$$ is a regular vertex with $$r(s^{-1}(v)) \subseteq H$$, then $$v \in H$$. The saturated hereditary subsets of $$E$$ are partially ordered by inclusion, and they form a lattice with meet $$H_1 \wedge H_2 := H_1 \cap H_2$$ and join $$H_1 \vee H_2$$ defined to be the smallest saturated hereditary subset containing $$H_1 \cup H_2$$.

If $$H$$ is a saturated hereditary subset, $$I_H$$ is defined to be two-sided ideal in $$L_K(E)$$ generated by $$\{ p_v : v \in H \}$$. A two-sided ideal $$I$$ of $$L_K(E)$$ is called a graded ideal if the $$I$$ has a $$\mathbb{Z}$$-grading $$I = \bigoplus_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} I_n$$ and $$I_n = L_K(E)_n \cap I$$ for all $$n \in \mathbb{Z}$$. The graded ideals are partially ordered by inclusion and form a lattice with meet $$I_1 \wedge I_2 := I_1 \cap I_2$$ and joint $$I_1 \vee I_2$$ defined to be the ideal generated by $$I_1 \cup I_2$$. For any saturated hereditary subset $$H$$, the ideal $$I_H$$ is graded.

The following theorem describes how graded ideals of $$L_K(E)$$ correspond to saturated hereditary subsets of $$E$$.

Theorem: Fix a field $$K$$, and let $$E$$ be a row-finite graph. Then the following hold:
 * 1) The function $$H \mapsto I_H$$ is a lattice isomorphism from the lattice of saturated hereditary subsets of $$E$$ onto the lattice of graded ideals of $$L_K(E)$$ with inverse given by $$I \mapsto \{ v \in E^0 : p_v \in I \}$$.
 * 2) For any saturated hereditary subset $$H$$, the quotient $$L_K(E)/I_H$$ is $$*$$-isomorphic to $$L_K(E \setminus H)$$, where $$E \setminus H$$ is the subgraph of $$E$$ with vertex set $$(E \setminus H)^0 := E^0 \setminus H$$ and edge set $$(E \setminus H)^1 := E^1 \setminus r^{-1}(H)$$.
 * 3) For any saturated hereditary subset $$H$$, the ideal $$I_H$$ is Morita equivalent to $$L_K(E_H)$$, where $$E_H$$ is the subgraph of $$E$$ with vertex set $$E_H^0 := H$$ and edge set $$E_H^1 := s^{-1}(H)$$.
 * 4) If $$E$$ satisfies Condition (K), then every ideal of $$L_K(E)$$ is graded, and the ideals of $$L_K(E)$$ are in one-to-one correspondence with the saturated hereditary subsets of $$E$$.

Latin/Appendix A

The pronunciation of Church Latin might be easier, for an average European, than Classical Latin. The way introduced here reflect the medieval way.

C is pronounced as [ts] or [tS] before e, i, y, ae, or oe

G is alway hard, except before e, i, or y, then soft (like j in jut)

H is not pronounced.

QU might become [k] rather than [kv] or [kw].

School:Gastronomy

Welcome to the Wikiversity School of Gastronomy

Gastronomy is the study of culture and food, with a particular focus on gourmet cuisine. It's a demanding multidisciplinary field of study examining food itself along with its context, presentation, nutrition and history. The underlying principle of gastronomy is that food is a science as well as an art form. It examines the sociological implications of food and integrates other social science disciplines such as anthropology, psychology and philosophy.

At the root of gastronomy is food. A gastronome examines the freshness, preparation, flavours and presentation of food. However, aspects such as cultural influences, science and history are also relevant to gastronomy. Gastronomy informs the culinary world, but not all cooks and chefs are gastronomes. Many prefer to concentrate only on the culinary aspects of gastronomy, producing food of excellent quality and flavour without delving into the scientific, cultural and historical implications of the food they serve.

This is a project intended to develop the art and science of Gastronomy.

Method of study
The courses of study in the School of Gastronomy have the potential, because of their subject matter, to be some of the most enjoyable on the web. The pedagogy of Wikiversity emphasises active involvement in learning and teaching and there can be few areas of life that are as enjoyable as actively exploring food and beverages.

Every department in the school has its own curriculum and structures its own programme of study, but all courses are made up of a series of Activity units. Each Activity unit, as its name suggests, is a set of activities in which students partake to enhance their subject knowledge and skills. Writers of course materials construct and test a number of assignments which use online materials as their basic sources. If suitable online materials do not exist, or are not readily available, then writers can produce them in Wikipedia, Wikibooks or Wikimedia.

The Activity unit templates may differ in detail for each department in the School of Gastronomy but their basis is the same in stating a number of objectives for the unit and suggesting a number of activities and assignments to help achieve the objectives. There are also suggestions for further development of knowledge and skills and encouragement to develop independent study, research and writing abilities.

Students and other writers are able, and encouraged, to provide feedback on any aspect of the courses by discussion on the talk pages of the project and making suggestions for modifications and enhancements. Anyone can thus contribute and become a writer of online teaching and learning materials.

Goals
The goals of the project are:

 * To introduce students to the various disciplines of gastronomy
 * To show students the basic classic and modern techniques, and theories of food production
 * To introduce students to various food cultures and cuisines
 * To introduce students to the work of the best professional chefs and teachers in the world of cooking

Courses

 * Cooking
 * Menu planning
 * Food Safety

User:Bendis

Hello! I am Deanne also known as Bendis, Fierce Huntress of the Two Spears, Priestess of the Goddess.

Life has been beautiful for me - gifting me with love and joy in abundance. As mother of three, grandmother of five, ah, life is sweet.

I was awakened late in life - a life filled with searching the spiritual, studying Buddhism, learning of the world's major religions, finally finding Goddess in my forties. Diving headlong into the greatest treasure I have ever known, I studied and trained. Spending several years in Taoist Spiritual Alchemy, and then into the study of the Sacred Trees becoming High Priestess in two Dianic Traditions. And finally, ordained as High Priestess, Dianic Feminist Witch by Z Budapest, Mother of Feminist Dianic Witchcraft.

My work has led me many places, from owning and operating a pagan book store, finally throwing in the towel to find ways to serve Goddess that did not involve trying to make a living with it.

The Ivy Girls were formed in 1996 through a spontaneous combustion of pleasure. We women learned the meaning of ecstatic in our spiritual lives. From this work, The Apple Branch ~ A Dianic Tradition was born, eight high priestesses have hived, all practicing, honoring the Trees and training priestesses themselves.

I have been heavily involved on the Net, weaving a web through continents, networking and pointing seekers far and wide, serving as moderator for many lists, the Z Budapest group for four years, Circle of Aradia in Southern California, HerStudy, BlueRoebuck_StudyGroup, Feminist_Dianic_Witchcraft, and finally, this, the Priestess Training Program called From-the-Branch. This Internet is truly an amazing connector of women world wide!

Other work on-line has been as founder of, Global Goddess, birthed in the Summer of 2002. I originally shared this birthing process with my friend, Regina, and went on alone for an additional two years connecting and building bridges for women worldwide. We organized as a legally recognized Church in 2004 and are registered as a non-profit corporation in the State of Texas - Goddess women helping women worldwide.

As a High Priestess, ordained by Z Budapest, "From the Branch" is the outreach program I have developed as a partof The Apple Branch - A Dianic Tradition for women who wish to study Dianic Feminist Witchcraft on-line in a correspondence program. In conjunction with our Women's Mysteries as handed down and taught by Z Budapest and others, we also use the Sacred Tree Alphabet as a model of continuity of the energies of both the lunar and solar year combined with a great deal of practical experience in all areas of service to The Goddess.

Our approach to our magic is to remove the focus from the cerebral ~ to bring the energy down into the body ~ thereby removing barriers and limits to personal ecstasy and fulfillment. This is not always an easy approach, but in the long run becomes a full experience of the whole self, embodying all of our personal magic into an ecstatic experience.

Like the honey apple turning red on the high branch, High on the highest, but the apple pickers missed it. Oh no, they did not miss it, they could not reach it. - Sappho

Life is good, my friends. Immersing myself in Goddess, serving Her and Her women, is how I live - fully embracing all that life offers!

Such a fine gift it has been for me!

The "Resume"

Ordained as High Priestess, Old Dianic Craft, December 1991, (ministerial credentials) Specialty, ritualist and educator

Ordained Master of the Craft, Old Path Religion, December 1990, (Ministerial credentials) Specialty, ritualist and educator

Ordained High Priestess, Faerie Faith Craft, 1995 (Ministerial credentials) Specialty, ritualist and educator

Ordained, High Priestess, Feminist Dianic Craft, June 2000 by Z. Budapest, Founder of Women's Dianic Craft. (Ministerial credentials). One of nine women in the world ordained as clergy of this path. Credentials are for a global ministry rather than local small groups.

Founder of The Apple Branch ~ A Dianic Tradition, a Texas non-profit religious corporation. I took the training and credentials of all of the studies shown above which lead to individual degrees and combined them into one, giving women the opportunity to work with a path that incorporates an ancient tradition with a more modern spontaneous spiritual practice. Under this corporation, I train women who will one day serve as spiritual leaders around the world.

Founder of Global Goddess, a worldwide organization for women who live by the words, "Goddess women helping women worldwide." This organization is open to all women who honor the divine feminine in some form. Global Goddess offers through the efforts of its membership, opportunities for women in the areas of educational opportunities, global networking, spiritual circles, study groups, and philanthropic work in their communities. Global Goddess is a Texas non-profit religious corporation, working toward 501c status.

Festivals offered from 1986 through 2005

Founder of Wikima, 1988 through 1992 ~ Seasonal and Lunar Celebrations open to the community of Dallas/Ft. Worth. (21 per year) These were open to any who wished to come and were done in such a way as to be inclusive of diverse spiritual paths.

United Earth Assembly - fully coordinated twice, assisted 6 times. Served as lead coordinator with a staff of assistants. Wrote and led main ritual for the event. Conducted rituals and workshops at all events.

Spirit of Spring - fully coordinated twice, assisted 3 times Served as lead coordinator with a staff of assistants. Wrote and led main ritual for the event. Conducted rituals and workshops at all events.

Founder of Wild Woman Retreats - created and provided spiritual retreats for women 1995 through 2000. These were for women with numbers attending anywhere from 6 to 25. They were kept small because intimacy was critical to the purpose of these retreats. They were first held in my home in the woods in East Texas and then later as they grew were held in private locations in parks in Texas and Oklahoma. I created and led all of the workshops and rituals, which were theme based - each retreat having a specific focus leading to women's personal spiritual growth. The rituals for these events included dramatic portrayals of goddesses to allow a new and different way to expose women to the divine as well as hands on crafts to gather women in women's work with shared stories.

Festival of the Goddess - Served on planning committee and as Temple Priestess 2003 and on planning committee in 2005.Event draws approximately 150 women each year.

Founder of WildWomenCollective - provided a weekly open forum for women to come together to celebrate being women and honoring their own spirituality. Women of all earth-based religions were invited and included. Through shared stories women grew in knowledge and were empowered to live full authentic lives.

Founder of WomenSinging - 10 to 15 women who came together to sing sacred music. We had no musical director; rather women would each have their favorite song and would choose to lead. We sang multi-part harmonies and were soon invited to lead opening ceremonies and songfests throughout the Dallas/Ft. Worth community.

Founder of CraftyWomen - a group of women who came together once a month to do hands on crafts together and in the ancient ways of women working with their hands, shared stories and facilitated creative bonding experiences together.

Mirage Rock

Mirage Rock is the fourth studio album by Band of Horses and was released on September 18, 2012 on Columbia Records. Produced by Glyn Johns, the album was preceded by the single, "Knock Knock".

While the album was initially met with generally favorable reviews, the band and fans alike have since become quite critical of it, with Bridwell admitting Mirage Rock to be stilted and insincere. Songs from the album have been rarely performed since the album's promotional tour.

Pre-release
In April 2012, lead singer, Ben Bridwell, revealed that Band of Horses' fourth studio album was scheduled for release in late 2012, with production by Glyn Johns. In June 2012, via Facebook and YouTube, the band shared a video preview of a new song, "Dumpster World," and confirmed a September 2012 release for the album.

On July 10, 2012, the fourth album's title was confirmed as Mirage Rock, and the track listing and artwork were also unveiled. Bridwell has stated that there is no such place as Mirage Rock and explained that the name "is a total piss take." Prior to the official launch of Mirage Rock on September 18, "Knock Knock" and "Slow Cruel Hands of Time" were released as previews of the album. On September 10, 2012, the entire album was streamed on both the Band of Horses SoundCloud page and the official website.

Just prior to the album's release, the track "Mirage Rock" was made available on the internet. Although this is billed as the "title track" it does not appear on the regular version of the album, but is one of five tracks on the deluxe edition of Mirage Rock. These five tracks were recorded at the Sonic Ranch studios in Texas.

Recording
Bridwell explained that Johns recorded Mirage Rock with both "analogue and live" technology, with the album having "a looser vibe than our previous records." He described the album as "haphazard...loose and raw at times...letting our hair down," with "more humour" and a "celebratory vibe."

Reception
Mirage Rock has received generally favourable reviews. It currently has an aggregate score of 68 out of 100 from 29 professional reviews on the Metacritic website.

The album was ranked number 50 on American Songwriters and number 19 on Rolling Stones lists of the top 50 albums of 2012. Rolling Stone said, "They conjure the embroidered-blue-jean countryrock of The Eagles (whose first LPs were helmed by Johns) and spike it with punk noise and a 21st-century bloodshot optimism."

The album debuted at number 13 on the Billboard 200, number 4 on the Alternative Albums chart and number 7 on the Rock Albums chart, selling around 24,000 copies in the first week. It has sold 75,000 copies in the United States as of May 2016.

The single "Knock Knock" was a minor hit in Belgium, reaching number 73 in the singles chart. The follow-up single "Slow Cruel Hands of Time" peaked at number 68.

Sonic Ranch Sessions
The deluxe version of the album includes an EP, titled Sonic Ranch Sessions. It was recorded in El Paso, Texas at Sonic Ranch Studio and produced by the band.

I think this article really needs to be improved, it appears to have been written by someone who dislikes Dimbleby.

More info is needed on Dilys - his mother. I noticed in IMDB it was mentioned "whatever happened to her" she was so great as a young child actress, such great acting, and such life in her character. She is hardly mentioned in any article I have seen, is she still alive? I read she was now 95 - it would be great to know more about her thoughts now, if her health is still good. It would be great to see her on Turner Classic Movies with Jack Osborne, if I have the name right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Appledude1 (talk • contribs) 10:52, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Dimbleby was of course wrong in speaking of a decision in 1975 of the British people to JOIN the Common Market. That decision was taken in 1972 by the ratification of the European Communities Bill. The UK joined the EEC (as it then was) on 1 January 1973. The 1975 referendum invited people to vote - YES or NO - on whether they wished the UK to remain a member. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:13, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Republican activist?
Alamy has some photographs of a protestor at Commonwealth Day who looks strikingly like him - albeit very gaunt in the face compared to how he looked a few years ago when he was on television more regularly. Is this him? The Alamy caption doesn't explicitly confirm him as the former BBC presenter but it would be a very strange coincidence. Robin S. Taylor (talk) 00:41, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Trafalgar Group

The Trafalgar Group is an opinion polling and survey company founded by Robert Cahaly and based in Atlanta, Georgia. It first publicly released polls in 2016. Trafalgar has been questioned for its methodology and for an apparent bias towards the Republican Party.

Notably, Trafalgar successfully predicted the result of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Although they incorrectly predicted the result of the 2020 U.S. presidential election for Trump in several states, their state polling margins were considered as some of the most accurate that cycle.

Trafalgar's polls for the 2022 midterms were inaccurate, predicting Republican wins or close races in multiple states where Republicans ended up losing by significant margins.

Method
Trafalgar Group adjusts its polls for a "social desirability bias" effect, the hypothesized tendency of some voters to calibrate their responses to polls towards what they believe the survey taker would like to hear. It does this by not only asking respondents how they plan to vote, but also how they think their neighbors might vote.

According to The New York Times, there is almost no explanation of the Trafalgar Group's methodology: "the methods page on Trafalgar's website contains what reads like a vague advertisement of its services and explains that its polls actively confront social desirability bias, without giving specifics as to how." Responding to criticism of Trafalgar's polling methods and its lack of transparency about its methods, Cahaly said in November 2020, "I think we’ve developed something that’s very different from what other people do, and I really am not interested in telling people how we do it. Just judge us by whether we get it right." In presidential polling, Trafalgar Group only conducts state-level polls; according to Cahaly, "we don't do national polls, and that's for the same reason I don't keep up with hits in a baseball game: It's an irrelevant statistic".

Performance and accuracy
Before the 2020 election, FiveThirtyEight gave Trafalgar a grade of C−.

Afterwards, until March 2023, FiveThirtyEight had Trafalgar at a grade of A−.

As of March 9th 2023, FiveThirtyEight has Trafalgar at a grade of B.

2016 US presidential election
During the 2016 United States presidential election, Trafalgar Group was the only polling firm showing Donald Trump winning the state of Michigan, which he ultimately did, and – according to RealClearPolitics – "nearly the only" one correctly predicting Trump's win in Pennsylvania. According to the New York Times, Trafalgar correctly predicted the number of electoral votes each candidate would receive, but not which states would provide those votes.

2018 US midterm elections
Trafalgar was an outlier in polling in the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election, with its final poll showing Brian Kemp leading by 12 points, a race he ultimately won by less than two points; every other poll showed a one or two point difference in the race.

2020 US presidential election
Before the 2020 United States presidential election, Trafalgar Group said that Trump would win the election, estimating that he would win Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Joe Biden won the election with 306 electoral votes and succeeded in winning Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. As to a number of swing states, Trafalgar's latest 2020 general election polls showed Trump winning Arizona by 3 points, Georgia by 4 points, Michigan by 3 points, Nevada by 1 point, and Pennsylvania by 2 points. However, Biden won Arizona by less than 1 point, Georgia by less than 1 point, Michigan by nearly 3 points, Nevada by approximately 2.5 points, and Pennsylvania by approximately 2 points.

2021 Georgia Senate runoff elections
Leading up to the 2021 runoff elections Trafalgar Group showed both incumbents Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue initially ahead of Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff yet by December they were both trailing a few points behind. On January 5, 2021, the day before the 2 Georgia Senate runoff elections, Trafalgar predicted that Ossoff was leading by 0.9 points over Perdue and that incumbent Loeffler was leading 1.3 points over Raphael Warnock. Ossoff won by a margin of 1.2 and Loeffler lost by a margin of 2.1 percent.

2021 gubernatorial elections
Aside from Fox News, Trafalgar had reported the most accurate poll in Virginia, predicting Glenn Youngkin would win by 2, which he did by 1.9.

In New Jersey, Trafalgar had Phil Murphy winning the election but gave him the smallest margin of the polls, with only 4%, while Murphy won by 2.8%

2022 US midterm elections
Trafalgar's polling numbers were considerably off in the 2022 United States midterm elections. Trafalgar's polls incorrectly suggested that Republican candidates such as Mehmet Oz, Herschel Walker, Kari Lake, Tudor Dixon, Adam Laxalt, Blake Masters, Christine Drazan, and Tim Michels would all win. Their polls also suggested that Republican candidates such as Don Bolduc, Lee Zeldin, Mark Ronchetti, Doug Mastriano, Scott Jensen, Heidi Ganahl, Joe O'Dea, and Tiffany Smiley, were within striking distance, but some lost in landslides.

The article can also further elaborate on the lawsuit with the Golden Gate Restaurant Association, and how that legal battle contributed to the viability of the program. The section on the program's reception can also be expanded and could incorporate more information about the patients' experiences with this insurance program.

All of the information included in the article is relevant to the subject matter. The article maintains a neutral stance, and does not advocate for one position over another. The viewpoints represented in the article can be expanded to include information. Currently, the article includes viewpoints from city officials, the Golden Gate Restaurant Association, and patients. The article could become richer with perspectives from health policy experts, the Supreme Court, and physicians.

The links to citations do work, although the article heavily relies on news outlets instead of scholarly sources. The sources do support the claims made in the article, but some of the sources appear to be biased against conservative viewpoints. The article can be improved with more reliable sources, along with more scholarly references. It may be beneficial to add information about theories on universal healthcare, citing academic articles with diverse viewpoints. Furthermore, the first sentence of the Funding section is a direct quote from a source, so this can be changed to be paraphrased.

The article includes some information about changes to the Healthy San Francisco program since the passage of the ACA, but could further elaborate on the current state of the program and changes to its operation. The article has not been edited since 2010, the same year that the ACA was initially passed.

The Talk page of the article does not have any active conversations. The article is part of two WikiProjects -- WikiProject California and WikiProject Medicine. The article is rated as start-class in terms of quality in both projects. In WikiProject Medicine, the article's importance is rated as low-importance. The article's importance has yet to be rated within WikiProject California.

Sector: Community health centers in the United States
All of the information in the article is relevant to the topic, and the article comprehensively discusses the history of community health centers, how they are funded, who they serve, and what services they are able to provide. More information can be added about patients' experiences at CHCs and how CHCs fit into the United States healthcare safety net. The article is mostly maintains neutrality, and focuses on discussing the intent and design of CHCs. However, there are some judgments made about the people involved in the development of CHCs. The article includes viewpoints from the federal government and from patients, but could benefit from including physicians' perspectives -- both from physicians who work at CHCs and physicians who do not.

The citation links do work, and the article accurately reflects the information provided by the cited sources. The facts and data in the article come from reliable sources, which much of the article depending on reports from respected health research centers, including the Kaiser Family Foundation and the National Health Policy Forum. Not much information has been provided about how CHCs have been affected by the Affordable Care Act and past attempts at health care reform. While the article was last edited in June 2017, it has only been edited twice in its history, and thus could benefit from being updated.

The Talk page does not have any active conversations. The article is apart of the WikiProject United States and the WikiProject Hospitals. It is not rated for quality or importance within either of these WikiProjects.

 * This source indicates how safety net health systems and their service provision for the uninsured may affect the quality of service not only to the uninsured, but the already insured as well. This paper discusses how "pecuniary spillovers," in terms of cost-shifting, and "non-pecuniary spillovers," in terms of lower quality of care for the entire community, should motivate the insured to fight for greater insurance rates for the uninsured.
 * Healthy San Francisco covers San Franciscans who have no other form of insurance. Thus, this paper highlights crucial points to consider when discussing Healthy San Francisco, not only in terms of how it is financed, but how the program can improve health outcomes and quality of care throughout the city. This source can be used to indicate the importance and necessity of programs like Healthy San Francisco, along with possible incentives to create the program. I used this source in the "Results and Reception" section to indicate how the program has had benefits even for those who are not enrolled.

 * This article outlines the premise and financing of Healthy San Francisco and outlines some of the challenges it faced and questions it needed to answer as it began developing.
 * The article is from 2007, so it provides a nice look back at what the issues were at that time (including whether or not the program would attract the middle-class), in addition to serving as a springboard for analyzing progress since. The piece also describes why this program is so uniquely San Franciscan, allowing the opportunity to delve into why this program may not be generalizable across the United States. Lastly, this NYT article includes a case study of a participating client, creating useful insight on how the patient experience of the uninsured has been affected by the program.

 * This paper can be used to beef up both the history and reception sections of the article. The fact that the authors of this paper were directly involved in the creation of Healthy San Francisco can be of extreme value, but it will be important to consider their biases, particularly in describing the reception and impact of the program.

 * This article discusses the financial viability of safety net health care systems, looking back at a report from 2000 six years later. Main topics discussed are the impact of managed care Medicaid and the rise of competition in the healthcare market. The article also examines how current reforms will impact health care for the most vulnerable, focusing on the perspective of a safety net provider -- in other words, providers at hospitals and clinics that primarily serve the low-income and uninsured. One interesting piece of this report was how changes in financial structuring have impacted these hospitals and clinics. At first, there was great uncertainty about whether or not it would be financially feasible to continue serving the uninsured. Yet, with secured government funding, the conversation has now shifted to how to provide sufficient quality of care in the face of competition from other providers and the advent of new technologies.
 * Community health centers serve primarily low-income and uninsured communities, making them a part of the healthcare safety net and the direct target of many policy changes and reforms. This article gave me insight about Medicaid's shift to managed care, and I was able to incorporate this information into the "Financing" section of the article. I also learned more about the juggling priorities that must be considered when making healthcare reforms -- such as finding a balance between expanding of coverage to more people, and providing the same quality of care to an increasing pool of people.

 * This study compares the delivery of preventative services at community health centers to that of private doctors' offices, finding that CHCs and private providers provide preventive services at similar rates, with CHCs performing higher than private providers in terms of immunization rates, but lower in terms of diet and exercise counseling.
 * I used this article in a subsection of "Quality of Care" entitled "Preventive Services." This article falls into the concept of health equity, as it indicates that CHC patients still receive quality services, despite their low-income backgrounds.

 * This is another study assessing quality of care in community health centers -- this time in terms of adherence to treatment plans for managing diabetes. This study found that CHCs exhibited low performance in terms of quality measures and did not meet ADA standards of adherence to treatment plans.
 * Patient adherence is a key consideration in assessing the effectiveness of CHCs in meeting the health and medical needs of uninsured and low-income patients. I added information from this study to the "Chronic Disease Management" subsection. This article also was interesting to think about in the context of social determinants of health.

 * This study researches the effectiveness of our current health care safety net model, and how it can be expanded to better suit the needs of the most vulnerable. The report found that expanding CHCs across the US could be an effective way to make primary care accessible, in addition to having more private physicians who are open to accepting low-income patients.
 * It will be vital to the Wikipedia article to understand and assess where CHCs fit into this system. While I did not explicitly include this in the article, it was an interesting read that shed light on how the safety net is constructed and what gaps remain.

 * This is another study looking at quality of care in CHCs, now through the lens of sources and frequency of care. This report found that CHC patients do not often have a consistent provider, but if they use CHCs as their main source of care, they generally receive high-quality care. This again fits into the framework of health equity and health disparities, as well as social determinants of health. As indicated in this article, many CHC patients have high-quality care available to them, but often are not able to access it due to other social factors, such as lack of transportation.
 * Looking at quality of care in CHCs through a variety of measures will enrich the Wikipedia article with numerous perspectives, allowing for a more comprehensive analysis on how effective CHCs are in meeting their patients' needs. I used this article to add a subsection of "Quality of Care."

The report also provides some insight into what kinds of services are offered at these clinics.
 * This report can be usefully utilized to enhance the history section of the article, as well as the reception section with information about how CHCs have accessed access to care while creating monetary savings.

 * I have used this source in many of my additions, mostly as a way to double-check and in some cases, to cite directly from. I have gleaned information about CHC history and services from this report.

Area: Healthy San Francisco
Key Ideas
 * Health care safety net
 * Medical and health care for the uninsured
 * The government's role in providing health care

Introduction
The program's stated objective is to bring universal health care to the city, and the program website states that insurance "is always a better choice." '''Healthy San Francisco represents the first time a local government has attempted to provide health insurance for all of its constituents. '''

History
With implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act starting in 2010 and the setting up of health exchanges in 2013, half of the 60,000 patients enrolled in 2013 are eligible for Medi-Cal because of the expansion of that program by the Affordable Health Care Act. Another 10,000 or so people are likely to get health insurance through the Covered California health exchange that was created as part of the Affordable Health Care Act. The remaining patients are likely to be undocumented immigrants and people who live in the city for less than 5 years, so are not eligible for Covered California, and people who make too much money for Medi-Cal but not enough to afford health insurance. '''The 2010 Affordable Care Act also removed categorical eligibility for Medicaid. As a result, many who previously did not qualify for Medicaid and instead relied on Healthy San Francisco could enroll in Medi-Cal. '''

Reception
San Francisco residents who have benefitted from Healthy San Francisco have noted how the program has made them less wary of accessing health care, as previously many of the beneficiaries of Healthy San Francisco did not see a provider regularly due to cost.

Much of Healthy San Francisco's positive reception stems from the city's uniquely structured health care safety-net network, consisting of a conglomerate of both public and private hospitals, clinics, and health centers. This collaborative system allows for greater communication between providers and enables patients to access facilities that are equipped to offer the type of care they need, whether that be primary, specialty, or urgent care.

Sector: Community health centers in the United States
Key Ideas:
 * Quality of Care at CHCs
 * Various measures of quality: health outcomes, patient experience
 * Cost of Care at CHCs

Reception and Quality
Patients who use community health centers as a regular source of care are likely to have a positive patient experience and receive high-quality preventative services. However, community health center patients are less likely to seek medical care consistently, as many of these patients tend to be from vulnerable populations in terms of socioeconomic background and insurance status.

Quality of care at CHCs can be assessed through many measurements and indices, including the availability of preventative services, treatment and management of chronic diseases, other health outcomes, cost effectiveness, and patient satisfaction. According to several studies, the quality of care at community health centers is comparable to the quality of care provided by private physicians. Nevertheless, community health centers face numerous challenges in light of the population they face. As CHCs primarily serve the low-income and uninsured, many of their patients do not regularly see a primary care physician, which can lead to poorer health outcomes.

Talk:David A. Kolb

EML
I'm quite confused with description of Kolb's model. As I understand those points in it (concrete experience, reflection of that experience etc.) they are quite the same as those of Lewin's experiential model... (See this article from EML's homepage: http://www.learningfromexperience.com/images/uploads/process-of-experiential-learning.pdf written by Kolb himself.) Could someone with more knowledge make this more clear (for instance, state clearly it's just an adaptation of Lewin's model)?

Natasha Holmes

Natasha Holmes is a physics education researcher and the Ann S. Bowers Associate Professor of Physics at Cornell University. She researches teaching and learning in physics and STEM fields including how students acquire knowledge, the effects of course environment on learning, and the development of scientific ways of thinking. She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Guelph in 2009 then went to UBC to get her Master's and Ph.D. by 2014 before becoming a post-doctoral researcher at Stanford University and then on to a professorship at Cornell University in 2017.

Research
As a graduate student she began researching structured inquiry and critical thinking in physics labs at UBC and was the executive coordinator of Let's Talk Science from 2012 to 2014. While working with Carl Wieman at Stanford University, Holmes developed and tested new methods to teach critical thinking by instructing students more explicitly to analyze and share data and ideas with other groups. As part of her research at Cornell University she began the Cornell Physics Education Research Lab (CPERL) and her group has since researched topics covering physics lab courses, virtual reality as a teaching tool, and the development of a concept inventory designed to probe critical thinking in physics labs.

In 2022, Holmes published work on equity in physics lab groups and found that the observed gender inequity of lab roles could not be explained by student preference. Among other findings, this study found that students had no preference for group gender composition, very few students indicated a preference for a single group leader, and women generally preferred sharing rather than dividing or rotating roles.

Talk:Cooper's Law

Who was Cooper then?

In a lifetime of reading SF and teaching literature (with a special interest in terminologies), I have never come across this term. What is the source of the idea? Who, indeed, is Cooper? In what context was the "law" formulated. Without background information, this comes across as an idiosyncratic (if interesting) neologism. RLetson 20:28, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Sentences: The Life of MF Grimm

Sentences: The Life of MF Grimm is a 2007 graphic novel written by hip hop artist Percy Carey, better known as MF Grimm. The comic details his life from childhood through his adult years, ending with the writing of the book. The story sees his highs and lows, as he suffers from a life of crime as well as being a recording artist. The comic has received two Eisner Award nominations, and two Glyph Awards.

Background and creation
Carey came to write Sentences: The Life of MF Grimm after he was prompted by others to share his life story. Vertigo picked up the story and released it, drawn by Ronald Wimberly.

Story
The plot of the comic follows the story of MF Grimm's life from early childhood in the 1970s to around the year 2006. Through that time period it follows his exploits, from working with some of hip hop's biggest stars, to being paralyzed in an assassination attempt, to being sentenced to life imprisonment, and finally being released after only three years served.
