Talk:culpability

Is "criminal culpability" redundant? Is all culpability criminal?

I would not agree with this. A person may be culpable, either alone or jointly, in all sorts of situations that do not rise to a criminal level. <IP_ADDRESS> 20:50, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Lombardy Hotel

The Lombardy Hotel is located at 111 East 56th Street (between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue) in the Midtown East neighborhood of New York City. The building was turned into a co-op in 1957. Built in the 1920s by William Randolph Hearst for his mistress, silent film star Marion Davies, The Lombardy has been the New York residence of film stars like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

Interior designer Robert Denning designed the hotel's lobby in the 1990s. The lobby was since renovated, but Robert Denning's personal apartment, where he lived till he died, is still as he designed it with a combined living and dining room, master bedroom suite and a guest bedroom.

The hotel lobby was renovated in October 2012 as part of an ongoing restoration. The hallways were renovated in 2015 and units are consistently updated by individual owners.

There are currently 160 studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments in the hotel rental pool and additional units owned by permanent residents or used solely as second homes. Some apartments are available for sale which may be used as a residence or investment.

Norman Atkinson

Norman Atkinson (25 March 1923 – 8 July 2013 ) was a British politician who served as Labour Member of Parliament for the London constituency of Tottenham from 1964 until 1987.

Early life
Manchester-born, Atkinson was educated at technical school and became a design engineer at Manchester University.

Political career
Atkinson was a councillor on Manchester City Council 1945–49. He contested Manchester Wythenshawe in 1955 and Altrincham and Sale in 1959, before being elected for Tottenham in the 1964 general election.

A member of Labour's National Executive Committee for five years, Atkinson also served as the party's national treasurer from 1976 to 1981. As treasurer, he clashed with Chancellor Denis Healey at the 1976 Labour Party Conference. He was a founding member of the Socialist Campaign Group.

Later life
After he ceased being an MP, Atkinson authored a book on Sir Joseph Whitworth (The World’s Best Mechanician, 1996) and a play (Old Merrypebbles).

Mersenne primes

Welcome to the Wikiversity Mersenne Primes Learning Project.

Marin Mersenne's name is widely known because of his interest in prime numbers that are one less than a power of two. Mersenne also did research in the area of the theory of music and musical instruments (see Wikipedia). Participants in this learning project are encouraged to join the distributed computing project that allows the computing power of personal computers to help search for Mersenne prime numbers (see Research Project, below).

Mersenne prime numbers
In Mathematics, Mersenne prime numbers are those prime numbers which are one less than a power of two.

$$Mn=2^n - 1\,\ $$

if $$n\,\ $$ is not a prime number, then $$n\,\ $$ can be written as, $$n=a\cdot b\,\ $$

$$Mn=2^n-1=2^{ab}-1=(2^a-1)\cdot \left(1+2^a+2^{2a}+2^{3a}+\dots+2^{(b-1)a}\right)\,\ $$
 * This implies, the Mersenne number is not a prime number if n is not prime.

Ada Programming/Keywords/aliased

Description
If you come from C/C++ you are probably used to the fact that every element of an array, struct/record and other variables has an address. The C/C++ standards actually demand that. In Ada this is not true.

Ada is a self optimizing language — there is for example no register keyword like in C/C++. Ada compilers will use a register for storage automatically. Incidentally, most C/C++ compilers nowadays just ignore the register and allocate registers themselves, just like Ada does.

So if you want to take an access from any variable you need to tell the compiler that the variable needs to be in memory and may not reside inside a register. This is what the keyword aliased is for. Additionally it also serves as a hint to the reader of the program about the existence of pointers referencing the variable.

For variables
I : Integer := 0;

For the elements of an array
Declaring an as  will only ensure that the array as a whole has an address. It says nothing about the individual elements of the — which may be packed in a way that more than one element has the same address. You need to declare the actual elements as aliased as well. You can read in Types/array how this is done. Here is just a short example:

Day_Of_Month  1 .. 31;  Day_Has_Appointment   (Day_Of_Month)   Boolean;

For the elements of a record
Just like arrays, declaring a record as aliased will only ensure that the record as a whole has an address. It says nothing about the individual elements of the record — which again may be packed and share addresses. Again you need to declare the actual elements as aliased as well. You can read in Types/record how this is done. Here is just a short example:

Basic_Record A : Integer; ;

List of Magic Knight Rayearth characters

The list of characters from the Magic Knight Rayearth anime and manga series by CLAMP. (Note: many characters' names are either taken from or related to cars).

Hikaru Shidou
Birthday: August 8 (Leo)

Hikaru Shidou (獅堂 光) is an eighth-grader with bright red eyes and scarlet hair, who is small for her age and often teased for her boyishness. She helps her parents and her three older brothers (Masaru, Satoru and Kakeru) to run a school for Kendo. She is headstrong and determined, and in many ways very childish, but she is fiercely loyal to her friends. In particular, she wants to save Cephiro in the first arc in order to return home to her dog, Hikari, her precious childhood friend. She uses fire-based spells, such as Arrow of Fire (Honoo no Ya) and Crimson Lightning.

Hikaru is very popular with fans, especially with boys, because of her sometimes childish behavior; for example, in the manga, where Fuu is "asking" Ferio to help them, Umi catches on to what she's doing, but Hikaru has no idea what's going on. When Ferio agrees, Umi cheers, as does Hikaru, though she still doesn't get it. It's also mentioned that she's the most popular girl in her all-girls school by her classmates in both adaptations.

She becomes best friends with Umi and Fuu in the first season. In the second season, she falls in love with Lantis, and becomes friends with Eagle Vision of Autozam. However, in the manga, Hikaru is only hinted at being romantically involved with Lantis, despite him hinting that he has strong feelings for her. Hikaru claims to love everyone, and due to her innocent nature, probably loves everyone equally. In the anime, Hikaru's affection for Lantis becomes much more apparent.

In the second season, when the need for a new Pillar of Cephiro is urgent, people from many different lands flock to Cephiro to become the Pillar. It is apparent from the first moment the girls are told they will be Magic Knights that Hikaru is the most strong-willed and passionate of the group; this leads to her eventually becoming the new Pillar at the end of the season. Hikaru decides that she would rather Cephiro not have to depend on one person's self-sacrifice, and uses her power as the Pillar to destroy the Pillar System and allow Cephiro to function on its own.

In some language adaptations, her name was changed to Lucy and Luce.

, Aya Bejer (ABS-CBN Tagalog) and Mitchiko Azarcon-Tiongson (GMA Tagalog), Venus Terzo in original English dub & Tara Jayne (English) in OVA.

Umi Ryuuzaki
Birthday: March 3 (Pisces)

Umi Ryuuzaki (龍咲 海) is elegant with dark blue eyes and long, flowing blue hair. She is an only child of rich parents, the two of which dote on her mercilessly and for whom she has great affection. A fencing champion, she is quick-tempered and at first uncaring (though perhaps the best-suited for the task at hand), as well as the most reluctant of the three Magic Knights: she is under great pressure to attend a fencing contest and is unsure of the land of Cephiro. Umi tends to go slightly ballistic at times, and provides a bit of comic relief during her fights with Mokona. Initially she seems to dislike Mokona, and even when she does become fond of him, occasionally still seems annoyed by his behavior. However, Umi is very dedicated to Hikaru and Fuu, wanting nothing more than to save Cephiro and return home. She uses water-based spells called Water Dragon and Azure Hurricane.

In the anime Umi is totally clueless of Ascot's affections for her and she has feelings for Clef but he seems not to be too interested in love.

She's friends with Tatra and Tarta, the princesses of Chizeta, whom she defeated in sword fights at different points in the second season. During the same arc, Umi appears to be slightly more mature.

In the manga, she is apparently a fan of Häagen-Dazs ice cream, Denny's and MOS Burger (she becomes panicked at the thought that Cephiro does not have any of these – similar to Miaka Yūki in Fushigi Yûgi, who, upon hers and her best friend's arrival at another world, complains about the absence of her favourite restaurants). The brand names were removed from the anime dialogue, presumably to avoid copyright infringement.

Her lovestory in the manga is very different, she develops a very close relationship with Ascot who blushes whenever they are together. Although she doesn't realize Ascot's feelings she has a more proactive attitude with him offering and asking him for help on several occasions. They seem to have a special affinity and Mokona shows us that there is a connection between them. It is strongly implied that there is a budding relationship between Umi and Ascot near the end of the story. A relationship with Clef is non-existent in the manga.

Curiously, her parents have a minor cameo in Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, another Clamp series that has many crossovers.

In some language adaptations, her name was changed to Marina and Marine.

, Daisy May Carino (ABS-CBN Tagalog) and Grace Cornel (GMA Tagalog), Amy Birnbaum (English) in OVA.

Fuu Hououji
Birthday: December 12 (Sagittarius)

Fuu Hououji (鳳凰寺 風) has snapping green eyes and short blonde hair (light brown in the anime) and wears glasses, except when in full armour (Fuu is notably the only Magic Knight whose hair and eyes do not share the same color base). She is more quiet and reserved than the other two members of the group and serves as the voice of reason. Along with specializing in archery, she is also highly intelligent and logical, though this is more akin to book-smarts than street-smarts. Fuu often states the obvious and is very blunt in a fairly humorous way, much to Umi's dismay in some situations. Fuu deeply believes that her belief, along with Hikaru's and Umi's, is her strength in saving Cephiro. She often has moments where she doubts herself, but comes out strong and resolved in the end. Her spells, Winds of Protection, Winds of Admonishment, and Winds of Healing, are air-based and are mostly healing and defensive in nature, though she has some offensive attacks, such as Emerald Typhoon and Emerald Cyclone.

Fuu is in love with Ferio, the estranged brother of Princess Emeraude, who has been helping them since they met in the beginning of the first series. In the second arc, she grows closer to Ferio, and though she is torn knowing she helped kill his sister, his feelings for her never waver. In the second season, Fuu wins an archery contest against Lady Aska, after which they become friends. Fuu is very polite and calls people Sir or Miss (-san in the Japanese version). Fuu also has an older sister named Kuu.

In some language adaptations, her name was changed to Anemone and Anne.

, Lisa Ortiz (English) in OVA.

Clef
Clef (クレフ) is the chief of all sorcerers in Cephiro, and was formerly Princess Emeraude's attendant. In the anime, he is turned to stone by Zagato shortly after being introduced to the three girls in the first episode, although he fights the spell and communicated with them through Mokona. In the manga he is referred to as Guru Clef and is not turned to stone. In the second arc he also leads all of Cephiro until a new pillar can be found. In episode 48, he used all his willpower to create a castle to hold the castle from further collapsing.

In the manga Clef is often seen with Presea, but nothing special is ever mentioned between them. In the anime he is both loved by Sierra and the deceased Presea. When he first meet the girls, he reacts very unpleasantly to Umi who called him a "child" or 10 years old as stated by Umi; when in fact, he is actually 745 years old.

In season 2 of the anime, it was hinted that he cares for Umi when she got abducted by the Twin Princess but he never showed a love interested for her.

His name is derived from the Mazda Clef.

, Immy Uncle (English) in OVA.

Mokona
Mokona (モコナ) is a mischievous, nonsensical rabbit-like creature, possibly a Carbuncle, with a striking similarity to a white manjū bun, with a red gem in his forehead above his eyes. From this gem he can produce a tent for the girls to sleep in, food, and other necessary supplies. He is unable to speak, aside from repeating the sound "puu", although Hikaru seems to be somewhat able to understand him. In the manga, Mokona is revealed to be the Creator of the Earth, Cephiro and the other planets, as well as the laws for each planet. In the ending of the second arc, Mokona and the rest of the Mashin announce that they will be traveling to other dimensions.

Mokona of Rayearth is a separate character from Mokona Modoki from ×××HOLiC and Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE-, though Yūko implies that those Mokonas were based on Cephiro's Mokona, and saying she might not have known about other worlds if she hadn't met him.

Mokona was named after Mokona, one of Clamp's artists.

, Charmaine Cordoviz (ABS-CBN Tagalog) & Filipina Pamintuan (GMA Tagalog).

Ferio
Ferio (フェリオ) is a warrior whom the Magic Knights first meet in the Forest of Silence. A tough young man wielding a sword taller than he is, he quickly develops a soft spot for Fuu and the feelings grow to love near the end of the first arc but by the second season his feelings have evolved into a strong love for Fuu. Never completely honest with others, he made himself difficult for the heroines to trust.

In the anime he gives Fuu a jeweled orb. Since he has one identical to it, he uses it to communicate with her throughout the first series. In the manga series, he gives her a ring identical to the one on his ear. Fuu loses it when the three go home to Tokyo in the first series, but in the second series, when they return, he gives it to her for a second time. Both items were given to him by his older sister Princess Emeraude in his youth.

In the anime's first season, Ferio once pretended to join Ascot, Lord Zagato's child summoner, who set a trap for the Magic Knights using his sound-sensitive monster, Pajero. Also, while the Magic Knights are facing Inouva's true form, Ferio regains his memory from his younger years. He realizes that he was Princess Emeraude's only brother, and hears his sister's voice coming from his own orb telling him how to defeat Inouva. Ferio relays the info to the Knights and they manage to kill their enemy. In the manga Ferio knows of his origins and meets the Magic Knights on his way to try and save his sister, using his fighting skills in exchange for passage out of a forest he had become lost in.

In the OVA, he is initially a villain who can summon and control swarms of insects. He appears to have a close relationship with Ascot, and in a twist of his original character, he is the villain who does battle with Fuu. After eavesdropping on Lantis' conversation with Hikaru and the others, he assists Lantis in fighting Cephiro's spirits, and later delivers Lantis' sword to the combined Mashin to help them fight Eagle.

Ferio gets his name from the Honda Civic Ferio, and Ascot's monster from the episode featuring Ferio is named after the Mitsubishi Pajero.

, Jim Ensz (English) in OVA.

Presea
Presea (プレセア) is the top blacksmith in Cephiro, known there as a Pharle or "artisan". She is one of Clef's students and seems to have a crush on him. She aided the Magic Knights by making their legendary swords from the mineral escudo.

In both the anime and manga series, she shows something of a sadistic side, plotting ways to punish Mokona for making a mess in her study (including yanking his ears, hanging him upside-down while she dances about him dressed as a Native American, and prying his ever-closed eyes wide open). Her trap captures the Magic Knights by mistake, so she ponders whether to stretch their cheeks or boil them in a big pot, again wearing a feathered headdress and doing a war dance. In the anime series, she is killed by one of Ascot's beast summons. This death happens only in the anime, and unfortunately created a plot hole for the second season when Presea becomes a necessary character in the manga counterpart.

In order to fill this plot hole, her twin sister, Sierra, is created to pose as her. The only ones to realize that Sierra is not Presea are Clef, Mokona, and Alcyone, who recognizes Sierra's deception as stemming partly from her love for Clef. When Clef confronts Sierra about why she is posing as her sister, Sierra replies that it is to help the Knights with their mission and continue her sister's legacy, but does not reveal her own feelings for him.

Presea's favorite food is listed as V-tek, a kind of candy from Cephiro (though she enjoys the candy from Earth that Hikaru gives her as payment for using her weapons).

Named after the Nissan Presea.

.

Alcyone
Alcyone (アルシオーネ) is an ice sorceress who tutored under Clef and was intended to attend to the Pillar. However, she fell in love with the high priest, Zagato, and for this love became his servant, although the affection is entirely one-sided. In the manga she is killed after failing Zagato twice by his own hand. In the anime she lives on until near the end of the second season; moments after Zagato and Emeraude's deaths, she's captured by the evil witch Debonair, who brainwashes her into becoming her slave. Lantis captures Alcyone in battle, but she has lost her memories. When she recovers them, she reveals Debonair's plans for Cephiro and Debonair's location, and is killed shortly after by Debonair for her betrayal.

In the Sega Saturn game, Alcyone is apparently killed by Lafarga. She survives despite her injuries and, after realizing that Zagato loves Emeraude, Alcyone loses her sanity and dies fighting the Magic Knights one last time.

Her name is occasionally misromanized as "Alcione" – this was featured in the first run of the English-language manga. Her name comes from the Subaru Alcyone SVX.

, Angora Deb (English) in OVA.

Ascot
Ascot (アスコット) One of the followers of Zagato, is a young child with the ability to summon monsters, whom he considers to be his friends. Although hideous, they have no ill will, but villagers still fear them. Homeless and without parents, Ascot was never well received anywhere with his monsters until Zagato offered to give him and his friends a home in exchange for serving under him. Consumed by hatred and loneliness, his heart is full of selfish feelings reflected in a poor image and attitude of evil and cruel child. His real age is unknown so we don't know if Ascot is really a child and it's possible that his physical appearance is produced by the poverty of his soul and the lack of affection.

In the anime he destroys Presea's house with his monsters, and essentially causes her death. Later, he confronts the Knights again but Umi slaps him for using his friends and causing them pain. This causes a change of heart in Ascot, he learns the true meaning of friendship and he then forsakes Zagato. In the second series, his appearance changes, now he is a tall and nice young man who has managed to grow thanks to the lessons learned in the past, the power of his will and the love he feels for Umi. Now his behavior is calm and sweet towards people. While he still summons monsters, he has learned other spells from Clef to avoid using his friends as living weapons. He is able to tell Umi his feelings before she leaves to fight Tarta & Tatra. Umi replies that she loves him as well, but just as much as everyone else in Cephiro, and that she didn't have any romantic feelings for him. This saddens Ascot a bit, but he still continues to try and win her heart.

In the manga, his story is similar to the anime in the first season, he starts as an evil child who changes thanks to Umi's lessons, the only change is that he never kills Presea. In the second season, he becomes in a tall young man as well for the same reasons described above. He decide to use his own magic instead of the "summoning magic" to avoid hurting his monsters and to learn how to fend for himself. Even though he never confesses his feelings to Umi, he gets Umi's affection much more than in the anime. They are closer and always smile when they are together, even Mokona shows us that there is a special connection between them. It is strongly implied that there is a budding relationship between Umi and Ascot near the end of the story so it is a more fortunate relationship than in the anime.

He is named after the Honda Ascot.

.

Caldina
Caldina (カルディナ) (changed to Gardina in Tokyopop's manga) is a dancer who speaks with an Osaka accent (which is translated as a deep Southern accent in the English dub, due to the translations including words like "y'all"), wears extremely skimpy clothing because her body is too sexy to be covered, and has an endless passion for money.

Zagato hires her as an assassin after his other minions fail; in addition to her dancing skills, she is an accomplished illusionist and hypnotist. In the anime she has great affection for Ascot, whom she treats as a naïve younger brother, and she joins him in deserting Zagato. It is revealed in the second arc and season that she is native to Chizeta. It's also been shown that Caldina is incredibly good at cards and other games of chance. Caldina hypnotizes people by making the red jewels on her gloves, earrings and shoes flash and send out bell sounds.

Romantically, Caldina becomes involved with Lafarga in both versions of the series.

Caldina also appears in Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle as a bartender. Her name comes from the Toyota Caldina.

.

Lafarga (Rafarga)
Lafarga (ラファーガ) is the Captain of the Guard and charged with protecting the Pillar. Although Cephiro is mostly peaceful, he kept himself busy slaying the occasional monsters that would appear. In his takeover of the country, Zagato hypnotized him into trying to kill the Magic Knights as a last-ditch effort to stop them before they challenged him personally, but the girls managed to bring him to his senses. He goes against Zagato roughly at the same time Hikaru must meet Rayearth, and she in fact manages to summon her Mashin while trying to help Lafarga fight Zagato. In the second part of the story, he is romantically involved with Caldina. While he possesses no magical ability, he is a devastatingly powerful swordsman.

Named after the Honda Rafaga, a sister car of the Ascot.

.

Inouva
Inouva (イノーバ) is an anime-and-game-only character sporting an elven appearance and manner. He was a devoted servant of Zagato's—in fact, a birthday present from Emeraude to her High Priest. Inouva is not humanoid as he appears, but an animal-shaped elemental of lightning who assumed a human form to better serve his new master. His true form resembles a giant wolf with two tendrils streaming from his back. His weak spot proved to be the gemstone embedded in his forehead in either form. He first challenged the Magic Knights in the Sky Shrine, and would have defeated them if not for Windam's revival. He later resumed his true form and was destroyed by Hikaru.

In the Spanish version of the anime he's known as Nova, which is also the name of Hikaru's darker half in the original source material. His name comes from the Honda Ascot Innova.

.

Emeraude
Emeraude (エメロード) is the current pillar (and princess) of Cephiro. Little else is revealed concerning her nature until the climax of the first series, although she is highly loved by her subjects.

In the anime it is revealed that she was once a noblewoman of Cephiro, and had later used her power as the Pillar to prevent her younger brother Ferio from being punished for stealing something from her. He had forgotten she was his sister because, at his own request, she had used her magic to help him forget about her so he would not miss her or feel sorrow, and asked that she in turn forget him, so that she could focus her thoughts and prayers only on Cephiro. In the manga series, she is Ferio's older sister as well, but there is no mention of Ferio stealing something from her, and he does remember that she is his sister; in fact, he left the palace on his own will.

The Pillar of Cephiro must spend every waking moment of their existence praying for Cephiro's benefit, and when Princess Emeraude fell in love with Zagato the High Priest, she was constantly thinking of him and not Cephiro, and eventually imprisoned herself in a water dungeon (resembling a large peony in an underwater cavern beneath Zagato's court in her own palace) in hopes of being able to focus on only Cephiro. When she is unable to do so, she summons the Magic Knights. Zagato, who had in turn fallen in love with her, discovered Princess Emeraude's true feelings for him and visits her often, telling her that he does not care for the fate of Cephiro, and that there was only one thing in the world that he cared about – Emeraude herself. Believing if he destroyed the Magic Knights, he would be able to keep Emeraude safe and that by sheer will everything would turn out all right, he sent his minions one by one, each one failing to carry out the task.

When the Magic Knights awaken the Rune Gods and arrive at the palace, Zagato is waiting for them. He confronts them in a Rune God he created with his own will to kill them and protect Emeraude, intent on making his one desire come true. But the Magic Knights emerge triumphant and kill Zagato. Emeraude, devastated by the loss of her beloved, collapses under the tremendous weight of her own guilt and grief. Transforming into an older- and more sinister-looking version of herself, she breaks free from the water prison. This form is only filled with anger and pure hatred for the Magic Knights for killing Zagato, forgetting it was she who summoned them in the first place.

Zagato's court begins to fall apart beneath her anger, and she dons her own Mashin and grabs Zagato's fallen sword. She begins to fight the Magic Knights in their Mashin, and they see fleeting visions of the real Emeraude who tells them of her plight and how she has realized that it would be better if she died than tried to rule Cephiro with a heart tainted with grief and regret. No one of Cephiro is allowed to kill the Pillar and the Pillar cannot will itself to die, so the "girls from another world" (the Magic Knights) are there solely for that purpose: to don the Mashin and kill the current Pillar of Cephiro, as death is the only way for the Pillar to abandon their duty.

The Knights resist at first, but tearfully give in when Emeraude begs them to send her to "where she may think only of Zagato" and be with him. Emeraude dies, using the last of her power to send them home to the exact moment they disappeared from Tokyo Tower. The last image of her they see is her purified adult self in Zagato's arms, smiling sweetly and thanking the Knights for granting her last wish.

It has been speculated that Princess Emeraude was based on The Childlike Empress from Michael Ende's The Neverending Story (Die unendliche Geschichte), being as they are both directly linked to their kingdom (if one should die, so shall their empire), they both do not play a direct role despite the fact that their powers are the most revered, and they are both depicted as young women, no older than the age of ten to thirteen. Furthermore, though they are both young in appearance, they are both considered "ageless". Lastly, their stories, though different in ways, are also similar. Recalling the fact that Emeraude sent for earthlings to kill her (for no one in Cephiro could do her harm), The Childlike Empress sent for a human boy, for no one in her kingdom of Fantasia could give her a new name. Also the Proof of the Pillar which took the form of Emeraude's tiara could also be related to The Childlike Empress' AURYN, which was the symbol of her absolute power in Fantasia.

Sometimes known as Princess Esmerald or Esmeralda, and misnamed Princess Emerald in the official English translation of the Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle manga. She gets her name from the Mitsubishi Emeraude.

.

Zagato
Zagato (ザガート) is the primary antagonist of the first season, his younger brother is Cail Lantis (introduced in the second arc and season). When he is first introduced, he is seen as a terrible villain who has kidnapped the beloved Princess Emeraude, watching cruelly as Cephiro crumbles without its Pillar. However, this image is far from the truth.

High Priest to Princess Emeraude and Clef's right-hand man, Zagato fell deeply in love with the beautiful and kind Princess. Despite her best efforts to put Cephiro first and foremost, Princess Emeraude fell in love with Zagato as well. When Emeraude goes missing, Zagato came forth as having had kidnapped Princess Emeraude. In reality, Emeraude was so upset by her lack of will that she imprisoned herself in the water dungeon to avoid seeing Zagato. Zagato does not reveal this to the Magic Knights or Cephiro's people, aiming to destroy the knights when they come after him.

The reason Zagato is this way is because of his deep love for Emeraude and equally deep hate for Cephiro's Pillar System. The Pillar must devote every moment of their existence to praying for Cephiro and never seek happiness from anything except seeing the planet prosper. Zagato was tormented to see Emeraude chained down as such and even more so when she had to resist the love that had grown between them. He decides that instead of Emeraude returning as the Pillar and continuing to be a slave to Cephiro, he would rather have Cephiro cease to exist.

In the end of the first season, he is killed in battle by the Magic Knights while desperately trying to protect Emeraude; his last words tell her to "be free". His death causes Emeraude to become lost in her own grief and rage before attacking the Magic Knights, who kill her in self-defense.

He is named after Italian automotive design studio Zagato.

.

The Three Mashin (Rune Gods)
The Three Mashin (Rune Gods) are the three legendary guardians of Cephiro. Umi's is Selece (as transliterated in the original manga artwork by CLAMP - also known as Ceres, Seles, or Celes in some translated versions), who first appears as a large blue dragon. Fuu's is Windam (Windom in the official English release of the manga), a great four-winged bird. Finally, Hikaru's is Rayearth (Lexus in the OVA series), a wolf with a mane of fire. The three are old and ancient, and are in fact mecha used by the Magic Knights to help them combat Zagato and ultimately kill the Pillar.

The three Mashin are able to combine into a greater and much stronger Mashin (unnamed by the authors, but sometimes named by the fanbase as "Combined Rayearth" or "Big Rayearth"). In the OVA, the combined mashin is named Rayearth. The "Rune God" name was only used in the official English release of the anime series. "Mashin" has a bit of a double-meaning; it is katakana for the English word "machine", but is a homonym of the Japanese word for "evil spirit", "magical spirit", or "demon god". They also feature as "Kudan" (a kind of protective spirit) in Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, also by Clamp. Rayearth is assigned to Syaoran, Celes to Kurogane and Windam to Fay.

In the ending of the second and final part of the series, Mokona and the rest of the Mashin declare that they will be travelling to other universes.

Voiced by: Lex Lang (Rayearth), Terrence Stone (Selece), Lex Lang (Windam).

Lantis
Lantis (ランティス), Zagato's younger brother, is a powerful Cail or Kailu (magic swordsman) who journeyed abroad for a great deal of time and returned to Cephiro after meeting Eagle in Autozam. Lantis has made his first appearance in season two when he returned to Cephiro. He desired to remove the Pillar System in order to prevent the tragedy and pain that Zagato and Princess Emeraude had experienced. He is regarded with suspicion due to his reclusive nature. Nevertheless, Hikaru approaches him, though at first it's because she feels extreme guilt about killing his brother. Though his intimidating manner can be off-putting, he is gentle at heart; in fact, he forgives Hikaru and the other Knights for Zagato's death.

In the anime version he falls in love with Hikaru, which she reciprocates, while in the manga there are only hints of any romance between the two. At the end of the manga, Lantis asks Hikaru how people of Earth convey love. When she explains that they usually marry, Lantis asks if there is anyone she'd like to marry, to which Hikaru replies that she'd like to marry everyone as she loves them all.

Lantis also appears in Tsubasa. His name comes from the Mazda Lantis.

In Super Robot Wars games, he has a Mashin which is a mirrored version of Zagato's.

, Dan Stevens (English) in OVA.

Primera
Primera (プリメーラ) is a fairy who has acted as Lantis's guardian ever since he saved her from a monster attack. She's very jealous and possessive of Lantis, and thus harbors a deep dislike for Hikaru. From the start, Mokona likes to tease Primera, causing her to greatly dislike Mokona. When Hikaru and Lantis start to become friendly with each other, she pops up to stop them out of jealousy, but Mokona either chases her away or eats her and later spits her out. She can use low-level healing magic when necessary.

Primera makes an appearance in Tsubasa in the Hanshin Republic and is later mentioned in the country of Piffle, by Shogo Asagi. Rather than being tiny, she is the size of a normal human. She is named after the Nissan Primera.

Sierra
Sierra (シエラ) is an anime-only character. She is Presea's identical twin sister, and the only way to tell them apart is by the feather-shaped birthmark on Sierra's chest (first noted by Caldina when all the girls are bathing together). She makes her appearance throughout the anime's second season, corresponding with Presea's presence in the manga. Sierra pretends to be Presea to alleviate a portion of the pain of the Magic Knights, who blame themselves for not being able to help Presea, and of Ascot, who blames himself for killing Presea. Clef falsely tells the Magic Knights that Princess Emeraude made a wish to revive all the people who died while she was imprisoned, though in truth no one can revive a life once it is lost.

Sierra is in love with Clef, as was Presea, though her love is one-sided (Alcyone confirms this after learning of Sierra's true identity). She cannot make weapons out of Escudo, but she can help revive the weapons once they are lost; she did this to help Hikaru regain her sword after Nova broke it.

She is named after the Ford Sierra.

Eagle Vision
Eagle Vision (イーグル・ビジョン) is a well-known and respected commander from Cephiro's neighboring country, Autozam, a technologically advanced world reliant on the mental energy of its citizens for its power. It is clear right away that Eagle is an enigmatic and forceful tactician, and though a gentle and chivalrous gentleman, he is the leader of Autozam's invasion of Cephiro. He is also the son of the President of Autozam. When Lantis visited Autozam during his travels, he and Eagle became best friends.

Eagle comes to Cephiro with hopes of duplicating the Pillar System back on his home world, and also wishes to actually become the Pillar for personal reasons. Eagle is in fact very sick and wasn't even supposed to be alive by the time he made it to Cephiro. Eagle reveals to Hikaru that he wants to become the Pillar to spare Lantis' life and be in an eternal sleep with Cephiro.

In the end, Hikaru tells him it is unfair of him to leave all his loved ones behind and saves him, bringing him back to Cephiro and starting him on the road to restoring his health. In the anime, however, Eagle sacrifices himself in order to save the Magic Knights. It is unknown what happened to Autozam after his death, but in manga, Autozam becomes an allied country of Cephiro.

In the OVA he is Emeraude's brother and does his best to keep his sister happy. This includes trying to destroy the Earth because he's certain that's what his sister wants.

Eagle also appears in Tsubasa alongside comrades Lantis and Geo. He is named after the Eagle Vision, and the FTO (mecha he pilots) is named after the Mitsubishi FTO. Autozam is named after a line of Mazda cars, Autozam.

, Adam Masterelli (English) in OVA.

Geo Metro
Geo Metro (ジェオ・メトロ) is the second-in-command of the Autozam invasion of Cephiro. Muscular and good-natured, loyal and over-protective, he acts much like an older brother to Eagle Vision and has a weakness for sweets. He is featured with Eagle in Tsubasa.

Named after the Geo Metro. His mecha, the GTO, is named after the Mitsubishi GTO.

Zazu Torque
Zazu Torque (ザズ・トルク) is the mechanic of Eagle's forces and is quite short for a teenager. He wishes to have a girlfriend and he is fascinated with all kinds of machinery. As a mechanic, he can fix anything from microwaves to mechas. He likes to drink alcohol and also has a strong taste for sweets. Zazu is friends with Geo, Eagle and Lantis.

Zazu shares his name with Ukrainian car manufacturer ZAZ. He is often portrayed as having a crush on Hikaru.

Lady Aska of Fahren
Lady Aska (阿洲花) is the First Princess of the country of Fahren and the head of the Fahren invasion force that attacks Cephiro. Her ship is the Dome, an immense dragon-shaped vessel. She laughs constantly and arrogantly, and tends to refer to herself as "we" instead of "I". She is very young, self-assured and appears fairly bratty (she wants Cephiro so her every whim will become reality, and in the anime version she wants to become pretty to impress Sanyun), but can use all the legendary forbidden spells of the Royal Family, including the ability to conjure up creatures that she draws on ceremonial paper that she uses to attack with.

In the anime series, Aska looks up to Fuu as a sort of heroine; this relationship is non-existent in the manga, as Fuu doesn't spend time on their ship. Aska later decides not to rule Cephiro because Fuu (Eagle in the manga) told her that the Pillar can think only of Cephiro, but since Lady Aska loves the people of Fahren, she cannot complete the task of Pillar in Cephiro. She gave this same reasoning when she decided to concede invading Cephiro in the manga. Her face looks like that of Meiling Li of Cardcaptor Sakura.

Named after the Isuzu Aska. Fahren also happens to mean "driving" in German.

Sanyun
Sanyun (山伊) is Aska's loyal servant and childhood friend. He's much more thoughtful and studious than Aska (though he really doesn't look it) and hopes to one day assist her in ruling Fahren.

In the manga, there are slight implications of a relationship between Aska and Sanyun.

He makes a short appearance in Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle as the Kudan of Masayoshi Saitou, and again in this form in the Country of Ōto, working for Chang Ang in a sword shop.

He shares his name with South Korean car manufacturer SsangYong.

Chang Ang
Chang Ang (長庵) is a Fahren cabinet member and current ruler of the realm until Aska comes of age. He puts a lot of pressure on Aska to become a good ruler, which causes her to think of him as a "preachy old man"; in the English version, a "bigmouth". In the manga Chang Ang assists Lady Aska in her invasion of Cephiro. Throughout the second story arc, he constantly loses his temper with her because of her rash actions and silly decisions.

Chang Ang also makes an appearance in Tsubasa in the Country of Ōto.

He shares his name with the Chinese car manufacturer Changan Automobile.

Tata
Tata (タータ) is the hot-headed princess of the planet Chizeta, which sends its forces to conquer Cephiro and expand its territory. She is especially good at sword combat and can summon the djinn Rakoon. She wants to rule Cephiro as the Pillar to give a better life quality to the people of Chizeta, since their planet is too small.

In the anime, she has a friendly rivalry with Umi; when each of the Magic Knights are taken to one of the invading countries, she and her sister face Umi aboard their battleship.

Tarta shares her name with Indian car manufacturer Tata Motors.

Tatra
Tatra (タトラ) is Tarta's calm and seemingly airheaded older twin sister who, when focused, is in fact a formidable warrior. She can conjure the djinn Rasheen to do her bidding and go into battle for her, or choose to use a whip against her enemies. According to Tarta, Tatra is in fact the best fighter in Chizeta.

Tatra shares her name with Czech truck manufacturer Tatra.

Nova
Nova (ノヴァ) is introduced as the daughter of Lady Debonair and is an anime-only villainess, able to use Hikaru's attacks as her own while using the Mashin Regalia. She is rather slender with pink hair and elf ears, and appears to be close in age to the three heroines. Throughout the series, Nova gives the impression of being an unstable character, often switching between expressing affection and giving death threats in the space of a heartbeat. Most of her schemes involve capturing Hikaru, whom she obsessively loves enough to kill while expressing disdain towards those Hikaru cares for.

Nova is eventually revealed to be a fragment of Hikaru's soul that broke off from Hikaru's inability to cope with killing Emeraude and became a separate being, unknowingly left behind on Cephiro. While Nova searched for Hikaru, she was instead found by Debobair and is manipulated into her service. But once Nova learned the truth that Debonair only used her, she loses against Hikaru and willingly merged back into her after Hikaru admitted that Nova's creation might have been her subconscious attempt to overcome her self-loathing over Emeraude's death.

As a character, Nova was created by Toshihiro Hirano. She was originally one of his characters from a different anime that was never realized and produced. She is named after the Chevrolet Nova.

Debonair
Debonair (デボネア), an anime-only character, is the head antagonist of the second season who awaits the day when Cephiro will crumble due to lack of support from Princess Emeraude. Debonair is ultimately revealed to be an embodiment of the collective darkness within the hearts of Cephiro's citizens, thus possessing tremendous power with a desire to rule over Cephiro. She is not present in the manga, which instead focuses on the battles between Cephiro and the three invading countries of Autozam, Fahren, and Chizeta.

She gets her name from the Mitsubishi Debonair. An alternate version of her appears in Tsubasa as the Kiishim.

Talk:Drosophila mettleri

Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 26 August 2019 and 4 December 2019. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Jillian Shah. Peer reviewers: Andrewoh29, Hannahwhite97, JustinLevin.

Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT (talk) 20:19, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Behavioral Ecology Peer Review Comments
Hi Jillian! Nice job on this article! It’s so awesome to see how far your article has come from when I first saw it. The article is heavily referenced, broad in its coverage, and detailed with images, all Good Article criteria details. I would suggest you have an image in the Taxobox, so that way it can be pictured when someone Google searches the fly. For the subsection labelled “Not all are Monogamous”, I would include some more details about the study – namely, the conditions and the other types of mating that are seen, if not just monogamy. I would also argue that you have too much in your overview, and not all of it is incredibly necessary to be stated in the overview, as you go over it later anyways. I would suggest taking out the sentences: “Drosophila mettleri contains a p450 gene family and a target gene within this family is upregulated in expression. CYP28A1 upregulation has enabled this fly to detoxify toxic chemicals found in the rotting liquid of cacti hosts and to use otherwise lethal soil as a nesting site.” and “Due to physical geographic barriers between Sonoran Desert flies, gene flow explains speciation.” The former sentence is too complex and overly detailed, in my opinion, and will serve much better to be elaborated on in the sections themselves. Overall, great article! I am eager to see where it ends up, down the road! andrewoh29 (talk) 21:21, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Easily noticed is the absence of a picture of the fly, which is understable if there isn’t one available on wiki commons, but if it’s possible to get a picture that would make this more complete. Almost all of the sections were out of order, so I went ahead and moved them around in order to meet the article format expectations. Additionally, there were a few paragraphs in “description and sister species” that were not cited, so if possible, maybe cite those. Also, the distribution section is really dense, so it would be helpful if that could be broken down into subsections to help readers. Y.shiuan (talk) 00:44, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

I edited the first several sections to improve clarity, as some of the sentences were mildly confusing and unclear. Additionally, I went through and edited for simple grammar mistakes. My main piece of advice is to carefully read over sentences within the body text and make sure you're conveying what the article says, as well as read over the headings to ensure the page follows an overall logical, clear organization. I would also change the bullet point list under the Description so that it is in paragraph form. This article contained a lot of interesting information about this fly, and you did an excellent job of highlighting why it is different than other flies! Olivia.urso (talk) 21:16, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

The main thing I changed on this article was changing the structure and some content of the overview/introduction section. I combined paragraphs to make it more concise, and moved some information to other sections. I don't think the banana fact is necessary, but it is interesting so I left it. I also added the Insect and Diptera classifications to the talk page. I reorganized part of the genetics section. I recommend changing the format of the Description section because it seems to focus too much on Drosophila nigrospiracula, and changing all bullet-pointed sections to paragraphs. Overall, this is a very detailed and descriptive wikipedia page!Hannahwhite97 (talk) 00:13, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

For my edits, I went ahead and hyperlinked more terms that could be useful for readers to read into. Additionally, I did some minor sentence re-wording for some phrases, and I made organizational switches (namely, in your ‘Physical distinction between related species’ subheading. Even if you couldn’t find pictures of your species of fly in particular, you can use any photo of Drosophila to highlight the physical features that you describe. I think it would be great if you could elaborate more on the phylogenetic relationships of D. mettleri to the other flies that are closely related to it. It would complement the other sections well. Additionally, it could be in your best interest to elaborate more on your section about enemies, possibly identifying other enemies apart from just parasites.

Overall, a well-written, well-referenced article Great job! --andrewoh29 23:01, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

This article is very informative and contains a wide variety of well-written sections! Going through, I made some slight word changes and altered a couple sentences to keep them concise. For future improvements, I would recommend working on adding some images that would be helpful for the reader as they are picturing the physical description of the fly. JustinLevin 10:36, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

This is an extremely thorough, well-written article. I appreciate your ability to synthesize such dense and complex information in an understandable and clear manner. I added more hyperlinks to clarify and give meaning to some of the more advanced topics you cover. Also, I added some sub-headings to the Distribution and Host Plant sections to make your work more focused and appear to be more concise. The amount of depth is impressive, but try to synthesize the information in as concise a way as possible to fit proper encyclopedic standards. Grammar and sentence structures were great: just make sure to vary your word choice more often. Overall a great body of work!

Donelson Hoopes

Donelson Farquhar Hoopes, Jr. (December 3, 1932 – February 22, 2006) was an American art historian and curator. Hoopes was a scholar of nineteenth- and twentieth-century American art, especially the work of Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, and Marco Sassone.

Career
Born in Philadelphia to Donelson Wood and Esther Taylor Dechert, Hoopes served in the United States Army from 1953 to 1955, rising to the rank of Sergeant. He then received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pennsylvania in 1960.

In that year, Hoopes began his curatorial career as Director of the Portland Museum of Art. In 1962, he moved to the Corcoran Gallery of Art for a role as curator. Two years later, Hoopes curated the landmark exhibition there titled The Private World of John Singer Sargent. Hoopes was thus credited with restoring the reputation of the artist John Singer Sargent.

In 1965, Hoopes was hired as Curator of Paintings and Sculptures at the Brooklyn Museum until 1969. Three years later, he became Senior Curator of American Art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art until 1976, when he resigned due to the museum board's decisions to mount the landmark exhibition Two Centuries of Black American Art, despite the curatorial staff having rejected the exhibition proposal. Contemporaneous reporting described Hoopes' decision to resign, along with several colleagues, as having been made due to perceived overreach by the board into curatorial decisions, although several curators at the museum had refused to attend the proposal presentation given by the guest curator, arts educator and artist David C. Driskell. Hoopes also was nominated to serve on the Committee for the Preservation of the White House by United States President Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1980. Three years after that, Hoopes took the role of Director of the Thomas Cole National Historic Site, a post that he held until retirement in 1997.

Hoopes resided in Steuben before his death in Bangor in 2006.

 * Regarding her year of birth, she stated in 1998 that she was 46 when she gave birth to her son earlier that year, and it was said in the Eight is Enough E!True Hollywood Story that she was 4 years older than Kimberly Beck, who was born in 1956. I know sites like Private Eye have her listed as being born in 1954, but I know people personally whose birthdates are off by a year or more at these sites.  Unless she has stated that added two years to her age up until the early 2000's, I would stick with 1952. Gerkinstock 01:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Qatar at the World Games

Qatar competed at several editions of the World Games.

History
In 2005, Qatar won its first medal at the World Games in Duisburg, Germany and both medals were won in bodybuilding. In 2009, Kamal Abdulsalam Abdulrahman won a medal in bodybuilding at the 2009 World Games but he was stripped of his medal in 2011 after testing positive for a banned substance. Eight years later, at the 2017 World Games held in Wrocław, Poland, Qatar won a bronze medal in beach handball. At the 2022 World Games, the country won the silver medal in the men's beach handball tournament.

Talk:Object Oriented Programming

I'm the primary author so far, although some others have contributed too. I hope you get the idea of where I'm headed by looking at the TOC and reading what's there. If you have thoughts, post 'em here. Feel free to fill in some blank topics. Note that I will edit for tone etc so it reads like one author. Augustus.saunders 13:30, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Wow, looks really really good so far. Like the fact that you didn't forget the classless (prototype-based) oop, which normally happens. I personally don't feel that C++ or Java are at the same level at smalltalk, many things are not objects in both Java and C (e.g.: Classes are not objects and methodes neither). But so far a very good job. Gmlk 15:30, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Well, I'm just adding a couple of paragraphs here and there every once in a while. Already spent too much time tonight, for just a few measly words. Augustus.saunders 09:04, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I'm attempting to learn object-oriented programming from scratch. The beginning of this book has been quite informative. I look forward to its completion. Thanks for writing it. Evan Chaney 03:17, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think it would, at least for a while, be more beneficial to link to Wikipedia pages rather than Wikibook pages on certain items, like CLOS or C++ STL. --Snaxe920 05:51, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: tone and inheritence. I think an editor that selected more academic vocabulary would be better suited for a work that desires 'textbook quality'. Granted, I didn't read the whole article, I just skimmed it as I evaluated its suitibility as an introduction to object-oritented programming for non-programmers. I stopped reading and dismissed the content as worthless when I came across the "is-a vs has-a moley baloney" topic under "Inheritence"; if one does not recognize the importance of these two fundamental relations then it is impossible to build quality software using object-oriented techniques or otherwise.

For example, while colloquially understandable, I feel the term 'moley baloney' is completely inappropriate. I feel The entire "Inheritence" section is poorly structured and contains little information of value. I completely agree that inheritence is an often misunderstood concept for many programmers new to object-oritented techniques. The muddling of "interface" and "implementation" in popular class-based object-oriented language inevitably leads to misunderstandings. This section would do well to cite sources that examine inheritence from an object- or functional-based perspective as it is impossible to understand inheritence before the conflicts between the notions of 'type', 'class', and 'interface' are resolved. Which brings me back to where I started as it is my belief that such understanding can only achieved if one understands the is-a and has-a relations.

 * Obviously, you didn't look very closely. This text is specifically not aimed at non-programmers.  It is not an academic treatise.  However, many, many texts trot out the old is-a vs has-a discussion when itroducing inheritance.  This confuses type, class, interface, and implementation.  Because this confusion is so common, I feel it is necessary explain it's failings.  Going into a long winded discussion of type theory and systems before before tackling this confusion is premature, in my opinion. --Augustus.saunders 00:55, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

What is OOP? What is OOP? What is OOP?
This text is a horror. It is a horrible read. Demotivating. There is so much incoherent babbling about nonrelevant stuff... or about somehow juicy stuff we are not supposed to know yet, but get a taste of nevertheless, but should remember not get into too deep yet, but is nice to get a feeling of already, but we'll explain it later really, and now we will not, but it is nice to... AAAARGh! I'll never understand what Object Oriented Programming is! Please, authors, '''get to the point! What the hell is OOP?'''

Why the long introduction about "classical OOP" and a "modern OOP" without telling us first what is OOP. And add in REAL Python code, instead of having us read a warning paragraphs about pseudocodes. The thing I have learned after reading six A4 pages is: encapsulation is important, encapsulation, encapsulation, encapsulation, encapsulation, encapsulation... I ask myself: what the hell is encapsulation? oh, dear reader, haven't we explained that? No! you haven't!

Are you writing a book on the different ways of writing a book?
 * ''In most books, this chapter would be the heart of the book. But this isn't "How to Program Language-of-the-week Without Even Trying," and we're not syntax obsessed, assuming you can look in the manual or one of those other books. We want to blaze through here focusing on the concepts and the why's and what-fors so we can get on to the programming! Like we said before, this isn't an academic treatise.
 * ''"There are some books on OOP that will tell you that the cornerstones of object oriented programming are encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, or something along those lines. This is fairly typical of the classic OOP view, and there's nothing wrong with it per se, it's just that we've generalised some ideas and decoupled things here and there since then. But they are still important concepts, so let's dive in!

Who cares that there are different ways of writing books! We come here to know: What is OOP? I don't know. And this way I will never know. Why don't you get to the point? Why do you need to talk about other books? We don't want to know! We want to know about OOP, not about different ways of writing books. Aaargh! (from unknown)

 * I would have thought Wikipedia could tell you what OOP was. This book seems to be focused on what the features of OOP are, how they are used, and what is good or bad about each of those features. I don't really see your problem with this text, at least the author is giving an attempt to be entertaining and "personal" to alleviate text boredom. <IP_ADDRESS> 13:57, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I think that you are looking for a different book. "OOP" and "Object Oriented Programming" means many things to many people. Providing a dictionary definition early in the discussion would confuse things more than help. One of the aims of this text is to counteract much misinformation that has spread over time. There is a lot of wrong-headed advice given in other texts available, especially those focusing on one particular language, that I feel that it is necessary to address this misinformation. This derives from a long legacy of ideas superseding each other. Any text on C++ today that ignores template and generic programming and the STL would be completely remiss. Similarly, any text hoping to describe modern OOP programming must address the influence of functional programming. Ruby, Python, and the Boost libraries pretty much define modern OOP practice (by which I mean being used in the real world, not some fancy-pants academia thing). Nobody would accuse Java or .Net of being on the forefront of programming technique. But people think of them as being "object oriented." Basically, the programming techniques vary significantly depending upon which abstractions a language supports. Thankfully, they can be loosely divided into 2 categories, which I choose to call "classic" and "modern." I think the terms are appropriate. Trying to define OOP independant of these is, IMO, a mistake. OOP is used as such a catch-all term it's necessary to lay out a map.

Finally, many random people contribute little bits and pieces, and obviously everything is a work in progress. You may be used to 3 page articles on "exxxxpert-programmer.com" or some such, but books tend to have introductions that establish the basics and set the stage. Books tend to go more in-depth and go a little slower. A book of this type should be in the 300-500 page range to have any hope of adequately covering the material. Currently, there is a fair word count on design patterns that would more properly belong in an appendix. Aside from that, the total page count here is less than 20. So of course it never delivers. --Augustus.saunders 00:42, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree with unknown user, the language used is kinda chatty and really doesn't get the point across to some of us...(Uh...tide, tide...something. Why don't they have a button for it here?)

Simple Objects vs Behavioral Entities
Quote from the section:

"Writing good simple objects, combined with good collection libraries provided by your language of choice, can easily reduce the complexity of basic operations by as much as 80%."

How was "complexity" measured? By who and when? Pretty bold and interesting statement. Definitely requires a reference. I would be very interested in knowing what the source of this claim is for one.

is a Vs has a
The main reason for this concept--a very good one--is that inheritance can be a bad idea, it binds classes too tightly and makes both reuse and debugging more difficult.

I'm not saying there aren't many perfect cases for inheritance, but misusing it is much worse than not using it at all.

When teaching someone new to the subject when to inherit and when to encapsulate, "Has a" or "Is a" makes a good test. You will find very few instances of "is a", and that's exactly how often you should subclass.

The single case for inheritance is where multiple children inherit from a single parent, override methods of that parent, and have those methods called through an object of the type of the parent (IE: you are using polymorphism).

The first Java GUI framework (AWT) was extend-based. It was a horrid model that didn't scale. Notice that in Swing you are never required to extend?

For a another viewpoint, you might google "Extends is evil", there is a java world article that does a great job of examining why you should limit instances where you subclass.

Note that implementing an interface is a COMPLETELY different discussion--It has nothing to do with subclassing and should not be avoided--in fact, should be used as often as possible.

(I'd like to move the meat of this rant into the main module, but I'll wait for comments first since it may be more controversial than I would have suspected)

--Bill 00:18, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Object oriented programming is said to be one of the most influential developments in modern computer programming, gaining acceptance and praise for it’s’ ability to facilitate complexities in a field of growing software systems. Object oriented programming as a concept is a programming language which uses some object oriented construct or programming which in term is supported by some object oriented principle. Object oriented programming is noted to be a mindset which respects programming as a problem solving method which requires precise application of abstractions which ultimately divides complex problems into manageable pieces or tasks. Idealistically object oriented code can be broken down into a vast number of smaller tasks with each task being simplistically verifiable. Ultimately the goal of object oriented programming is to facilitate the combination of several different programming functions and techniques for the purpose of easier maintenance and more widespread reuse, with the future hope of standardization of functional techniques within the object oriented programming

Functional Programming
Why on earth would there be a functional programming section in an OO book? Not debating the usability of Functions, just the placement. If I don't see comments in a few days, I'll delete that and fix the "is a vs has a" stuff.

I wanted to write my own book, but in completely different manner. I want to start from Functional Programming first. Can I begin my own book? I am new in wikibook... alexsmail 15:55, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

 * If you don't intent into duplicate content creating a new book with a new approach and directed to a different audience is possible, but it will split the number of possible contributors Try to see if no one objects first to the changes (I've checked the history log for contributors and it seems the only registered users contributing content are User:Augustus.saunders and User:BillKress try posting a note on their talk page or directly contact them by email if available), give it a week if no one objects you can reshape the book, try to find another place/context to any content you will be removing if possible. See Be bold, and thanks for asking first... --Panic 19:53, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I have post note to their talk page. Why not to create another book on the same issue? I want to include Procedural Programming too as the basis. Every chapter will be look like: breaf description of the concept, real world example, sample example on Java, lengthly discussion with more sophisticated examples using C++ example to clearify two diffirent implementation of the same concept (and highlight diffirence between concept and interface) and lengthly theoretical part. alexsmail 17:49, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

 * If you avoid a direct "collision" with a pre existing book, I don't think anyone will cause problems. You should also take a look into Forking policy, this is a draft of a policy, in there you may get a feeling on how some of the community feel about this type (if not exactly the same) situation, or take a look on the multiple books on C++.  --Panic 18:17, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I read about forking. In this case, it is ok. Because I want to introduce different approach. So, we can co-exist. alexsmail
 * I didn't get the answer from your contributors. alexsmail 11:01, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

 * reset

Ok if no one is working on it then you may decide to reshape the book or start a new one, you have given every chance to anyone to object to it, it is now up to you. --Panic 16:08, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

"State" is Evil!
On "State" is Evil! section, the examples were supposed to be in Ruby? They don't look like Ruby to me
 * Agreed. I have no idea what that language is! Tom Morris (discuss • contribs) 20:23, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Subpages
An object-oriented programming class will be working on splitting this book up into subpages and other improvements between August 19 and December 13, 2019. Your patience is appreciated. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 14:48, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

The King is dead, long live the King!
I wonder how so many news company can report this tax frauding bank being death, killed by US justice, while her 700 staff and business just moved from "Wegelin & Co." to "Notenstein Privatbank", staying in the same building, same desktops. Sound more lire a comedy than anything else. Yug (talk)  21:06, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes and no. This was a private bank with a very long tradition, "private" meaning for example that their owners would be liable with their own fortune (and their name). Now they had to give up this bank, after most of it had been taken over by Raiffeisen Switzerland, a co-operatively organized banking group that is mostly present on the countryside. So yes, something definitely did happen. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:14, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

News to watch
The current case is pretty interesting. This bank is clearly doing a simple 'transfer = name change' to avoid the [deserved] big stick kick. This move and case is pretty important for tax avoidance / tax fraud, international banking, national and international taxe policy, financial crisis, global crisis. Coming news articles will likely contain interesting and valuable comments ! Please watch and inject into the article ! Yug (talk)  12:28, 5 January 2013 (UTC) To watch :

Probable date error 2012/2013 in reference
There seems to be a date error: reference which is presently number 7 shows date as "4 January 2012", but I think it should be "4 January 2013". I have have not fixed it because I am not certain, and I am not certain how that type of markup works and I might mess it up. FrankSier (talk) 22:17, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Bank is NOT dead.
Users should be aware that the bank is NOT dead. It will be, probably in 2013. However, Wikipedia requires accuracy so please don't say the bank "was the oldest...". It IS the oldest. When the bank is legally shut down, then Wikipedia can report it. It is ok to say that the bank is planning to close.

Similarly, President Hugo Chavez is almost a dead man, but he is not yet dead. If users put in the article that he WAS the president, they can be blocked or banned.

Auchansa (talk) 04:54, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Your proposed wording is meaningless English, as was pointed out to you before by other editors. The current opening sentence is correct because it says that the bank was only de facto disestablished and restructured in 2012. It doesn't have any activity as a bank anymore, any assets or any clients, so it's fair to say it was the oldest bank, in this context. The German Wikipedia article says the same thing ("Wegelin & Co. galt bis zu ihrer faktischen Auflösung im Jahr 2012 als älteste bestehende Bank der Schweiz"). Vanasan (talk) 05:03, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Not true. It is not "meaningless English" nor has anyone pointed it out to me before.  That accusation is worse than "why don't you stop killing people" or "why don't you stop beating your spouse".  However, if the consensus is to do things incorrectly, I'll let it go since it is not a huge error. Auchansa (talk) 06:24, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

 * The current wording is incorrect since it says it "was" the oldest bank but adds "defacto". That is almost like saying Israeli Prime Minister Sharon is practically dead.  Auchansa (talk) 06:26, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

 * 1) Your sentence "Wegelin & Co." is the oldest bank in Switzerland (and the 13th oldest in the world) and its de facto disestablishment and restructuring in 2012 with closure expected in 2013" is indeed meaningless English, and 2) this was pointed out to you before when User:Elektrik Shoos reverted you the first time You cannot simply change "was" to "is" at a random place without taking the entire sentence into account. Vanasan (talk) 07:28, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It would be very constructive to seek solutions rather than attack my sentence. The bank is not legally disbanded yet so it is the oldest bank.  "Was" is not accurate.  So try and think of a sentence that uses the word "is" and not "was" but also conveys what you want.  Auchansa (talk) 05:05, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * If the bank is being referred to as passe in the Reliable Sources, then that's what the article must reflect. On a personal observation, if one cannot open an account there, or remove money from an account there, and no bank statements are being issued from there, or go through a door of a building designated "Wegelin & Co." I'd say that bank is closed.HammerFilmFan (talk) 01:08, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The Internal Revenue Service of the United States would disagree with you. If your stock holdings are worthless and un-tradable in stock exchanges, you cannot claim a loss unless the company is bankrupt and shares declared to have no value.  There is no dispute that the bank is now a pile of ruins.  Auchansa (talk) 04:31, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The first part of your statement is unrelated to what I said - apples and chalk.HammerFilmFan (talk) 18:17, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Gilberto Aparecido da Silva (born October 7, 1976 in Lagoa da Prata, Minas Gerais, Brazil), commonly known as Gilberto Silva, is a Brazilian football player. A defensive midfielder, he joined Panathinaikos F.C. in 2008.

His first international recognition came with his surprise inclusion in the Brazil squad for the 2002 FIFA World Cup in South Korea and Japan. Gilberto's performance in this tournament led to him being classed as one of the top defensive midfielders in the world.

Gilberto is often called "the invisible wall" (or "volante") in Brazil. His play often goes unnoticed as he positions himself between the two centre backs and the rest of midfield, breaking up opposition attacks before they gather momentum. In this role, he is a part of the defensive unit for both club and country, and he offers cover for attacking wing-backs and other midfielders who have a poor record of dropping back to help the defence.
