Talk:Powers of the police in the United Kingdom

Expansion
This page needs expanding to included information on powers of arrest as introduced in January in the Serious and Organised Crime Act 2005 --TFoxton 20:31, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The article needs expanding to include powers of arrest and detention. Fences and windows (talk) 01:15, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Future of this article
I propose that this article is split into four articles (one for each legal system and one for the UK as a whole) entitled: Police powers in England and Wales, Police powers in Scotland and Police powers in Northern Ireland. These three would have to refer to the territorial police forces of their legal system. The fourth article would be Police powers in the United Kingdom, which would point to the three sub-articles and cover the powers of the special police forces. ninety:one 23:37, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

 * That's something that will affect more than just this article. I'd take the proposal to WikiProject Law Enforcement. Fences and windows (talk) 22:56, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I've started writing at User:Ninetyone/test2. Feel free to join in if you want :) ninety:one 20:28, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, I can see the benefit. I'll see if I can help. Fences and windows (talk) 21:32, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Merge
There was an old tag to merge this into Stop and search. I think the pages should be merged, but the other way around. This is the better article, and has a better, more specific title. Fences and windows (talk) 22:53, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Curve of Spee

In anatomy, the Curve of Spee (also called von Spee's curve or Spee's curvature) is defined as the curvature of the mandibular occlusal plane beginning at the canine and following the buccal cusps of the posterior teeth, continuing to the terminal molar. According to another definition the curve of Spee is an anatomic curvature of the occlusal alignment of the teeth, beginning at the tip of the lower incisor, following the buccal cusps of the natural premolars, and molars and continuing to the anterior border of the ramus. It is named for the German embryologist Ferdinand Graf von Spee (1855–1937), who was first to describe the anatomic relations of human teeth in the sagittal plane.

Details
The pull of the main muscle of mastication, the masseter, is at a perpendicular angle with the curve of Spee to adapt for favorable loading of force on the teeth. The long axis of each lower tooth is aligned nearly parallel to their individual arch of closure. The Curve of Spee is, essentially, a series of sloped contact points. It is of importance to orthodontists as it may contribute to an increased overbite. A flat or mild curve of Spee was essential to an ideal occlusion.

The Curve of Spee is distinct from the Curve of Wilson, which is the upward (U-shaped) curvature of the maxillary and mandibular occlusal planes in the coronal plane.

The Curve of Spee is basically a part of a circle (8-inch diameter) which has its circumference as the anterior ramus of mandible. Ideally, it is aligned so that a continuation of this arc would extend through the condyles. The curvature of this arc would relate, on average, to part of a circle with a 4-inch radius. It is the only Anteroposterior curve of occlusion.

Agat (given name)

Agat (Ага́т) is a Russian male first name. While "Agat" is simply a Russification of certain Western European names (all of which derive from the Greek word agathos, which means good, kind ), it was also one of the newly created names documented in the 1920s and 1930s, given after agate, a semi-precious stone.

PHP Programming/The do while Loop

The do while loop
The do while loop is similar in syntax and purpose to the while loop. The do/while loop construct moves the test that continues the loop to the end of the code block. The code is executed at least once, and then the condition is tested. For example:

Even though $c is greater than 5, the script will echo "Hi" to the page one time.

PHP's do/while loop is not commonly used.

Example
This example will output the factorial of (product of all the numbers from 1 to it).

The continue statement
The continue statement causes the current iteration of the loop to end, and continues execution where the condition is checked - if this condition is true, it starts the loop again. For example, in the loop statement:

the statement is not executed when the condition i = 0 is true.

Rotationplasty

Rotationplasty, commonly known as a Van Nes rotation or Borggreve rotation, is a type of autograft wherein a portion of a limb is removed, while the remaining limb below the involved portion is rotated and reattached. This procedure is used when a portion of an extremity is injured or involved with a disease, such as cancer.

The procedure is most commonly used to transfer the ankle joint to the knee joint following removal of a distal femoral bone tumor, such as osteosarcoma. The limb is rotated because the ankle flexes in the opposite direction compared to the knee. The benefit to the patient is that they have a functioning knee joint to which a prosthetic can be fitted, so that they can run and jump.

History
Rotationplasty was first performed by Joseph Borggreve in 1927. He performed the procedure on a 12-year-old boy who suffered from tuberculosis. However, the procedure was not well known until 1950, when Dutch orthopedist Cornelis Pieter van Nes (1897–1972) reported the results of rotationplasty procedures. He became well known for establishing the procedure. Since then, many surgeons have performed modified versions of rotationplasty and have had great success.

Indications
Originally, rotationplasty was performed to treat infections and tumors around the knee. It was also a common treatment for osteosarcoma. While it is still being used to treat their complications, rotationplasty is also used to treat growing children who have been diagnosed with tumors around the knee. Rotationplasty is also performed on children with congenital femoral deficiencies. Those deficiencies cause "unstable hip joint[s] and a femur that is 50% shorter than the contralateral, normal femur." This procedure gives rotationplasty patients the ability to have the use of both feet and allows them to continue living an active lifestyle.

Procedure
In the actual procedure, the bone affected by the tumor, as well as a small part of the healthy femoral and occasionally tibia bone, is removed. A portion of the leg removed; the ankle joint is then turned 180 degrees and is reattached to the thigh. They are held together by plates and screws until they have healed naturally. The surgery can take anywhere from 6 to 10 hours, with a day or two in intensive care. The leg is kept in a cast for 6 to 12 weeks. After the leg has sufficiently healed, the leg can be fitted for a prosthetic.

Advantages
Rotationplasty allows the use of the knee joint, whereas amputation would result in loss of that joint. Therefore, it provides a better attachment point and range of motion for a prosthetic limb. As a result, children who have had rotationplasty can play sports, run, climb, and do more than would be possible with a jointless prosthetic. After the procedure, the leg is durable; patients do not typically have to undergo additional surgeries.

Disadvantages
Rotationplasty can result in poor circulation throughout the leg, infection, nerve injuries, bone healing complications, and fracture of the leg.

Quality of life
A 2002 study measured life contentment and quality of life in 22 patients who had been recipients of the rotationplasty procedure at least 10 years before. They found that those patients that were younger when the procedure was performed were happier with their lives. It was also found that 8 of the 22 had to have a total of 21 surgical revisions performed in the 10 years. In comparison to the general population, the patients had a higher percentage of quality of life, 83% compared to 75%. Overall, the patients were more content with different aspects of their lives than the general population.

Talk:Tarō Asō

"Rozen Maiden" fan?
What? Taro Aso a fan of a Japanese animation? Is this a joke? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:32, 3 January 2007 (UTC).
 * It is widely known, and he himself has admitted, that Aso is very fanatic about reading Japanese Manga. As Japanese Wikipedia quotes, in reply to the interview made by a Japanese Manga magazine (Big Comic Original), he said he always reads 10 or 20 Manga magazines a week.  The fact that he refers to some Manga in his answer in the Diet (you can find by yourself at the National Diet Library, refered below) could be a circumstantial evidence.
 * But his attitude towards Japanese animation, or especially the "Rozen Maiden", is not so apparent. There was a rumour emerged from "2 channeru", that Aso was reading the "Rozen Maiden" Manga cheerfully at the lounge of Tokyo Int'l Airport.  But he didn't confirm that when he asked in an interview by a Japanese magazine.Takehiro 15:15, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Should I add a Fact tag to this statement? Anymouse1 01:37, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

This article is hilarious. What a crazy interesting guy. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:26, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Catholic?
Why is he categorized as a Roman Catholic politician? Is there a source for that? Attending a Catholic school in Japan is common for non-Catholics, so I hope that is not the only reason for the category. Neier 04:37, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Answering my own question; the Japanese wikipedia article makes a similar claim. Leaving it alone for now. Neier 14:22, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * At least he himself said in the Diet that he is a catholic. e.g. his answer in the committee of home affairs and telecommunication, the house of representatives.
 * If you could read Japanese, you can find more at the National Diet Library.Takehiro 14:56, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I read that this japanese is the first roman catholic to rule Japan, in all times.Agre22 (talk) 13:14, 25 November 2008 (UTC)agre22

Uncited statements removed from controversy section
Particularly in a "controversy" section of a well-known public figure, we need to observe high standards for citation, especially since Aso has been in the news lately. If citation can be found for the statements that have been removed, they should be put back, but until then, no uncited statements should be placed in the section. -- Exitmoose 00:33, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

I removed the statements which claimed to be cited only from the Communist Newspaper, since it is clearly a biased source and the website cited is in Japanese, so English editors cannot verify it. If the statements are reinstated, they should cite news accounts from non-partisan newspapers or official records. Since the Communist Newspaper gave context, it should be possible to find alternate sources. Until then the statements should not be on the page. joye (talk) 18:15, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Romanization
Why was the page moved to "Tarō Asō" ? - Are we unable to find documentation that states that "Taro Aso" was the romanization he preferred? WhisperToMe 23:24, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

 * ウィキペディア英語版では、日本人の氏名はヘボン式、かつ、マクロン併用方式が慣習的に採用されています. そうしないと、「あそたろ」の記事なのか「あそうたろう」の記事なのか判別できないためです. Jun'ichirō Koizumiを参考にしてはいかがですか.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:39, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

 * はやく、「Tarō Asō」に改名してください.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:49, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

 * ウィキペディアの英語版では、英語で書かないと誰も読めないよ. . . Yaki-gaijin (talk) 02:47, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

 * But it is English. See Encyclopædia Britannica Bendono (talk) 03:21, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Bendono, hope you weren't responding to my comment. I agree that it should be "Tarō Asō". My comment was directed at the two people above me discussing things in Japanese... Yaki-gaijin (talk) 04:26, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

foreign policy
what are his foreign policy views/records? In the Shinzo Abe article there is a good section on this. Even more important here as he comes from the relevant ministry. Lihaas (talk) 11:52, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

 * There's a sentence embedded in "Political career." Brutannica (talk) 12:19, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

General
Can somebody please provide a decent translation of those "controversial statements"? The ones there at present are horrible, but I don't know enough about the statements or the Japanese language to fix them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:38, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Sadly they are true. But the site may not be very reliable... it is the "Japanese Communist Party"... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moocowsrule (talk • contribs) 02:12, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

family
The family section should be expanded <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:25, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

The process to designate Japan's PM
I corrected some inappropriate descriptions on how he was designated as Prime Minister. The points are:
 * formally, the organ which decides who shall be the PM is the Diet, not the House of Representatives;
 * the House of Representatives can never scrap or nullify the resolution by the House of Councillors;
 * the resolution by the House of Representatives can be given supremacy in limited situations by being taken as the resolution of the Diet.

News media, even reliable Japanese ones, report in English like "lower house's decision overrides the upper house's decision" and "lower house elected him as PM"; but, such expressions sound not true to the Constitution.

How to designate the Prime Minister is provided by Article 67 (第六十七条) of the Constitution of Japan. (Japanese / English). The English counterpart is presumably a non-official translation; it looks poor, so I try to translate Article 67.
 * Below is my translation.
 * Article 67: The Prime Minister shall be designated from among the members of the Diet by a resolution of the Diet. This designation shall be done previous to all other matters.
 * If the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors differ in resolutions of the designation and no agreement can be reached at a joint committee of both Houses which is held under provision of law, or if the House of Councillors doesn't make a resolution within 10 days excluding the period of recess after the House of Representatives has made a resolution, then the resolution of the House of Representatives shall be the resolution of the Diet.

--Dumpty-Humpty (talk) 15:06, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Cabinet
It might be a good idea to add this section, as well as update/expand affected biographies... Ranma9617 (talk) 04:46, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Aso Mining forced labor controversy
The Aso Mining forced labor controversy section is getting long enough that I'm thinking it probably needs to be broken off into it's own article. If no objections, I'll probably do that in a few days or so. Also, we probably need a stub article started on the Aso (Mining) Company which I assume has more sources giving information on it in Japanese than in English. Cla68 (talk) 23:06, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. Cla68 (talk) 03:27, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

First Catholic Prime Minister
Having been reverted with the sole reason of an appeal to tradition; I give you Hara Takashi, also a Roman Catholic. Removing that sentence in the lead. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:41, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Taro_Aso&action=edit&section=new
Maybe someone could put something about this gaffe he made recently about having children? http://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idUSTRE5472FB20090508 —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 08:56, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Third or Fourth Christian post-war PM?
According to Current Biography, Ichirō Hatoyama was a Baptist Christian, yet he is not mentioned in the line-up that follows in the article, which makes me suspect that the Italian source is incorrect. What is the procedure for challenging this source as contradictory to other information? Homagetocatalonia (talk) 18:47, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

ENGLISH
It'd be a good idea to LEARN ENGLISH before editing this article. It's an embarrassment to Wikipedia. DMC (talk) 16:53, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Looking at the [comment] above, I'll refrain from messing up this article with my clumsy doku-nichi English. Asakura Akira
 * If people are just copy-and-pasting from online translators, then I think they should stop. However, I don't think you should try to bar someone from editing simply because they are not a native speaker of English or if they have made a few grammar mistakes. We can't all be as blessed as you with flawless grammar and feces that smell of roses. ;) Yaki-gaijin (talk) 02:50, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I think your facetiousness is misplaced. It's not much to expect a native level of English in an encyclopedia. I wouldn't dream of contributing in Japanese even though I believe I am quite literate in that language. However I also see that the article has been improved now so I take it back. It's good to have people contributing from all over the world but we need to make sure grammar errors are spotted quickly so they don't hurt the reputation of this project. One more thing... Does anybody know what Aso was studying at those two overseas institutions? Sounds like he didn't manage to graduate with anything?? DMC (talk) 00:27, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * David, you should relax, and not make such harsh attacks on your fellow editors. Wikipedia works because of collaboration. If some contribute facts but in a poorly presented way, others can correct the language and improve the readability of the text.  If you want parts to be improved, you could contribute by pointing out the sections or specific areas where you see the problems. This would allow other editors also see the problems, and contribute to improving the text.  It would also allow us to all be civil, and improve the quality of the articles and the discussion.  Cheers —fudoreaper (talk) 20:17, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I retract the comment made on the 28th June but I'll leave it on the page as written. DMC (talk) 13:35, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Recent political fallout
Can someone please explain to me (and hopefully write into the article) about why he is in such political trouble? Why is Japanese politics so chaotic? You just hear about all these people resigning but then you don't know why. These Japan-related articles are in serious need of attention. Too much attention has been dedicated to things like anime and manga on this encyclopedia. Colipon+(T) 17:44, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * One reason why he was in trouble from the start is because people are simply fed up with LDP backroom politics: He was the third prime minister without a general election.
 * The trouble he faces within the party stems partly from the fact that he is to some degree an opponent of the Koizumi reforms that brought the LDP a landslide victory in the 2005 election. Unlike his predecessors Koizumi, Abe and Fukuda (all three Machimura faction), Aso and his faction belong to the conservative wing (in contrast to US political orientations this means a tendency towards economic interventionism; to add to the confusion, it stands in the continuity of Yoshida Shigeru's Liberal Party and is called hoshu-honryū, conservative mainstream) of the party: He questioned Koizumi's postal privatization, his big spending record budget, particularly the consumer handouts were widely opposed (within his party, the electorate and, of course, by the opposition including even the Communists, ) and was – at least not yet – able to end the economic crisis; and his only notable reform drive I'm aware of was a lacklustre attempt to ban Amakudari.
 * Aso's leadership abilities were already in question after the resignations of three ministers (Nakayama, Nakagawa, Hatoyama), two vice ministers (Hirata ethics breach, Kōnoike love affair/"personal reasons" ) and two parliamentary secretaries (Matsunami was dismissed , Toida followed Hatoyama ). The epic loss in the Tokyo prefectural election, 2009 brought discontent to a boil: 133 LDP Diet members led by Hidenao Nakagawa (Machimura faction) wanted to oust him on July 21; but the Koga and Tsushima factions apparently made a last minute judgement that it was not a good idea to change the party president just one month before a general election.
 * A fourth reason is already covered substantially in the article: his habits, mishaps and "asoisms" (starting in 1979 when he addressed 下々, "the lower classes" and (correctly) predicted that he might become PM if enough older representatives "die off". A small collection can be found at )
 * Looking at the section above, I'll refrain from messing up this article with my clumsy doku-nichi English. Asakura Akira (talk) 19:47, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Should...
This be linked? Was reverted by someone who happened to stalk me... <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:59, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

 * No, it should not be linked. Has nothing to do with the subject. I am not stalking you. You got my attention by posting an insulting and anonymous post on my talk page (you deleted the Auto-sign). I wanted to see who did that and found that you have been making a lot of posts that are irrelevant to the articles you edit, interrupt the flow, and have been tagged as possible vandalism. I cleaned them up. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:24, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Not irrelevant (oh, and 'murder' triggers it, but it's what he did even if it's an inconvenient truth), usually people inspired by and vice versa are mentioned (in an infobox too), what makes this an exception? This is, of course, useless if you're the only participant in these conversations, so if no one responds I'll seek third party opinion... <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:31, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

 * I hope that you do.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:36, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Someone else (even/especially a well-known murderer) saying they want to meet Aso doesn't seem particularly relevant to the article about Aso; if anything, it feels like including such a detail might be an attempt to imply some sort of guilt by association.

 * Great. I am designing modules now for the early levels of medicine. Anaphylaxis is probably a medical responsibility and I'll take care of it in due course. I definitely want to plan with you some pages for head and neck anatomy, but I'm not sure if the School of Dentistry wants as much involvement in other aspects of anatomy. There are a few pages already written in this topic (e.g. Anatomical Terminology) but very few. So I'm afraid that we'll more or less be starting from scratch. I think we should develop a plan of action for the development of the anatomy project. What do you think? Go raibh mile maith agaibh 20:06, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Uh sounds like lots of work :) Just the teeth-part is big. But the best way to do it would prob be to do the different structures one at the time (eg nerves, bone...)Sabine 09:00, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

 * It will be a lot of work but I am happy to do the donkey work if you want to get on with anything else in your project. I agree with you on the break up. The main problem we'll have is getting free pictures. There will be a few on wikipedia, but i doubt we'll cover them all. I take it you have dental training. Was that with medical students? I have designed a first module which may be of interest to your school. Back to anatomy, I plan to have it as a module, rather than editing the department of anatomy. In the medicine module of anatomy, students will be taught embryology, histology and gross anatomy. Will you be looking to teach it in these three divisions as well? Let me know which of these, if not all, you will be teaching because I think the next two steps are dividing the three divisions into lessons and then making lesson plans. Once that is done, I think we can start adding content. What do you think? Go raibh mile maith agaibh 14:50, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Interactive learning resources...
I think the best way forward is to make more interactive stuff like quizzes etc. Lesion (discuss • contribs) 17:47, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor

Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor is a 2009 side-scrolling action-puzzle video game for iOS and Android, developed and published by Tiger Style. The player takes control of a spider who comes to reside in to the deserted Bryce Manor and must spin webs to trap various types of insects, whilst simultaneously ascertaining what happened to the former residents of the manor. The game received critical acclaim and won multiple awards. Originally released in August, a Director's Cut update replaced the original version on the App Store in December. The update added ten levels, twenty-four Game Center achievements, new music, more story elements and an insect (the hornet). A year after the game's initial release, a HD version was released for the iPad. In 2013, the game was also released for Android. A sequel, Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon, was released in August 2015 for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux.

Gameplay
The player takes control of a spider whose primary goal is to survive by spinning webs and eating insects. At the same time, the player can explore the manor, searching for secrets and clues. Finding out what happened to the former occupants of the manor is an optional side quest, and is never explicitly foregrounded in the game; the player is free to come to their own conclusions as to what happened by interpreting the various pieces of evidence they find.

Each level represents a room or area in Bryce Manor and is viewed in a side-scrolling 2D display. Using the touchscreen, the player controls the movement of the spider. Pressing on the right or left side of the screen will make the spider walk in that direction. Swiping in any direction will make the spider jump. To have the spider spin a web, the player must first tap on the screen, and then jump from one surface to another. If the distance between the two surfaces is too great, the web will break. To capture insects, the player must create a triangle of web strands.

The aim in each level is to eat a certain amount of insects. At this point, a portal to the next level will open, although the player can remain in the level and eat the rest of the insects if they wish. Insects include, but are not limited to, moths, crickets, ladybugs and wasps. Hornets are unique in the game insofar as they cannot be caught in a web. Instead, they must be attacked directly by jumping into them.

The game includes four main modes; "Adventure", "Feeding Frenzy", "Hunger", and "Precision". Adventure mode is the basic story mode. Hunger is an endless mode where the player must keep eating insects until they die. Feeding Frenzy gives the player a limited amount of time to complete each level. Precision gives the player a limited amount of silk with which to complete each level.

Reception
Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor was released to critical acclaim. It holds an aggregate score of 93 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on 12 reviews.

Pocket Gamer Tracy Erickson scored the game 8 out of 10, giving it a "Silver Award". He was critical of the controls, which he found oftentimes unresponsive, but called the game "fresh, inventive, and altogether significant." IGN Levi Buchanan scored it 8.9 out of 10 and awarded it with an "Editor's Choice", arguing that "right now, no game better defines the purity of iPhone game design than Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor." He praised the controls, the background mystery element to the gameplay and the music, concluding that "Spider is a brilliant little game that could only happen on the iPhone. It's a perfect distillation of a concept -- a spider's exploration -- dropped in the middle of a mystery that you actually don't even need to pay attention to in order to enjoy the game." 148Apps scored it 4.5 out of 5, calling it "one of the most beautiful, elegant, and original iPhone games to date," and praising the graphics, music and controls.

AppSmile scored the game 5 out of 5, calling it "one of the most inventive and unique games that we've come across," and concluding "There is nothing like Spider in the app store. It stands on its own and stands proudly. Replay value abounds, from attempting to capture all bugs to unlocking all achievements to just having fun spinning webs and enjoying the spider's control scheme. We can't praise the game enough for bringing something new, exciting, and addicting to the app store." AppSpy Andrew Nesvadba also scored it 5 out of 5, writing "With a subtle narrative told only by experiencing the game, this is the kind of app that may be marked as a key moment in the history of mobile phone gaming." Gamezebo's Nathan Meunier also scored it 5 out of 5, writing "Atmosphere plays a huge role in Spider, and the beautifully hand drawn artwork pairs nicely with the hip soundtrack to evoke and intensify the sense of mystery that's so crucial to the game." Also giving it 5 out of 5, TouchArcade wrote "Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor is a lovely original iPhone game that we highly recommend." Slide to Play Riordan Frost scored it 4 out of 4, writing "Spider is an incredibly innovative game which we don't see often enough in the App Store. Its unique character provides a breath of fresh air."

The game would go on to win multiple awards, including AppGamer iPhone Game of the Year, the Independent Games Festival's Best Mobile Game and Best iPhone Game (2009), Slide to Play Best Platform Game (2009) and TouchArcade 2009 iPhone Game of the Year. It was also nominated for Debut Game of the Year and Best Handheld Game at the Game Developers Choice Awards. As of May 2012, Spider had sold over 300,000 copies.

Sequel
A sequel called Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon was released in August 2015.

Once Upon a Time (game)

Once Upon a Time is a card game produced by Atlas Games, originally released in 1994 with a second edition published in December 1995 and the current third edition in October 2012. One object of Once Upon a Time is to tell a fairy tale as a group. While the story is developed by the whole group, the competitive aspect of the game is that each player has an individual goal of using all of the "Storytelling" cards they have in hand, and finishing the story with their own special "Happy Ever After" card.

Only one player at a time is the current storyteller, giving them a chance to play their Storytelling cards, while the other players have a chance to "interrupt" the story and become the storyteller if, for example, the storyteller mentions something on one of the interrupting player's cards.

Gameplay
Each player is dealt a hand of cards that represent story elements: objects, people, events, and "aspects" often involved in fairy tales (for instance, there are cards for "crown", "key", "stepmother", "a death", "time passes", "sleeping", et cetera). These "Storytelling" cards represent ingredients of a fairy tale, i.e. words or phrases that are likely to appear in fairy tales. From a different deck of cards, each player is also dealt a single "Happy Ever After" ending card, to be kept secret from other players until it is used. The object of the game for each player is to use their cards in telling a story, finishing the story by using their Happy Ever After card.

One player at a time is the storyteller. (The 2nd edition rules suggest the starting storyteller could be the "player with the longest beard", or any other method upon which the players agree. ) Whenever a story ingredient is mentioned, if any player has a Storytelling card for that ingredient, he or she can play it and become (or continue being) the storyteller. A player may be required to draw extra Storytelling cards (for example, when they are the storyteller and are interrupted by another player who becomes the new storyteller, or if he or she hesitates for too long while telling the story ). If the storyteller ends the story with the ending on their Happy Ever After card, and is out of cards, he or she wins. Players are expected to cooperate (to some extent) in order to avoid contradictions in the story as it develops, for the story to make sense, and (according to the rulebook) that any ending to the story is "satisfying".

Development and release
Expansions contain 55 additional cards. 2nd Edition expansions include:

 * Dark Tales, dark story elements, released May 2004
 * Create-Your-Own Storytelling Cards, blank cards, released June 2004

3rd Edition expansions include:

 * Create-Your-Own Storytelling Cards, blank cards, released October 2012
 * Enchanting Tales, prince and princess elements, released April 2013
 * Seafaring Tales, aquatic elements, released August 2013
 * Knightly Tales, medieval elements, released March 2014
 * Animal Tales, animal elements, released May 2016
 * Fairy Tales, fairy tale elements, released October 2016
 * Fairytale Mashups, fairy tale elements, released November 2019

The 3rd edition also has a Writer's Handbook available, in trade paperback format. It was published by Atlas Games in January 2013.

Awards and critical reception
Writing for Arcane, Zy Nicholson commented that "Although I'm well aware that the first edition (now sold out) did receive some rave reviews, I'm going to award this a respectable but cautious score." He concludeed by giving it an average overall rating of 7 out of 10.

Spike Y. Jones reviewed Once Upon a Time for Pyramid #6 (March/April, 1994) and stated that "The rules are simple enough that children and grandparents can all play at the same time, and the game is so engrossing that even people who look down on your roleplaying activities would be willing to join you in a bit of this sort of storytelling. Whether you're buying Once Upon A Time for yourself, or to give to a gaming friend or non-gaming relative, this is one card game which won't sit on a shelf gathering dust." Commenting on the second edition for Pyramid #18, reviewer Derek Pearcy said the game "is a brilliant example of what we should be getting in this new game market" and "not only is this game easy to learn, not only is it fast, fun, and an Idea Whose Time Has Come, but ... girls think it rocks" commenting upon "the occasional insulting lip-service [many game companies have paid] to their female readership."

In 1999 Pyramid magazine named Once Upon a Time one of The Millennium's Best Card Games and also as one of The Millennium's Most Underrated Games. Editor Scott Haring stated "the game's just as good for kids as it is for adults."

Once Upon a Time was chosen for inclusion in the 2007 book Hobby Games: The 100 Best. British author and game designer Marc Gascoigne explained that Once Upon a Time is "one of the best ways I ever found to grab a non-gamer by their imagination and fling them into our world".

Once Upon a Time's 2nd Edition was also included in the Games magazine's Best Family Card Game section's 1997 Games 100 list. In 2013 the 3rd edition of the game received the Tillywig Best Family Fun Award and was recommended for the Parents' Choice Award. It was also nominated for an Origins Award in 2013, in the "Children's, Family, or Party Game" category. The 3rd edition was featured on the web series Tabletop with Wil Wheaton in 2013, and its cover art also appeared in the 2013 book Spectrum 20: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art.

Hugo Ross Trophy

The Hugo Ross Trophy was named after a Winnipeg real estate broker, Hugo Ross, who donated the championship trophy to the Western Canada Rugby Football Union (WCRFU). Hugo Ross died a year earlier in April 1912, as he was one of many who drowned in the sinking of RMS Titanic.

When the WCRFU joined the Canadian Rugby Union in 1921, the Hugo Ross Trophy champion were able to play for the Grey Cup against teams outside Western Canada. In 1935, the Winnipeg 'Pegs became the only WCRFU team to win the Grey Cup.

By 1936, the Hugo Ross Trophy was awarded to the champion of the Western Interprovincial Football Union (WIFU). The winner of the trophy usually ended up playing against the IRFU champions for the Grey Cup. The Hugo Ross Trophy was awarded to the WIFU champion from 1936 to 1947.

In the 1948 season, the Hugo Ross Trophy was replaced by the N. J. Taylor Trophy as the official WIFU trophy. The N. J. Taylor Trophy was awarded to the CFL West Division champions until 2003.

Layout Idea
Hi. I don't want to sound preachy or anything, and I personally don't really mind what the motto or slogan for Wikiversity is; but wouldn't it be easier if, rather than the current systemy ou seem to have, which is very confusing to read, would it be easier to have like a simple voting system? For example:

 * Set Learing Free

Number of Votes:

Click Here for a list of the people/users who have voted for this motto.

Created by: _ _ _

And so on.

The Closing date for the Motto/Slogan competition is the 1st of April. Remember, your votes counts, and will shape the way that Wikiversity is viewed by the rest of the world. So choose carefully.

Just an idea, to make the current page easier to read. I didn't want to do it, because I didn't want to step on anybody's toes; and I'm not familiar with wiki-formatting.

Edward Synge (bishop of Elphin)

Edward Synge (1691–1762) was an Anglican bishop in the Church of Ireland who was the Bishop of Clonfert and Kilmacduagh (1730–1732), Bishop of Cloyne (1732–1734), Bishop of Ferns and Leighlin (1734–1740) and Bishop of Elphin (1740–1762).

Synge was born in Cork. His father was Edward Synge, Archbishop of Tuam. His grandfather was Edward Synge, Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross and his brother Nicholas Synge Bishop of Killaloe. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, obtaining a Master of Arts degree in 1712 and a Doctorate of Divinity in 1728. He was briefly Provost of Tuam and Chancellor of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, before he was nominated the Bishop of Clonfert and Kilmacduagh on 14 May 1730 and consecrated on 7 June 1730. He was subsequently translated to Cloyne on 22 March 1732, then to Ferns and Leighlin on 8 February 1734, and finally to Elphin on 15 May 1740.

Synge's musical ability made a strong impression on Handel when the composer was in Dublin; Handel referred to Synge as 'a Nobleman very learned in Musick'. Synge was in attendance at the first performance of Handel's Messiah and his written comments on the performance are quoted in Richard Luckett's Handel's Messiah: a celebration (1992).

Synge is particularly well known for his 221 letters to his daughter Alicia (1733-1807), the only survivor out of the six children of the Bishop and his wife Jane Curtis (d. 1737) whom he married in 1720. These are principally taken up with advice to Alicia whom Mary Delany said was being 'brought up like a princess'. There is almost no aspect of the young girl's life upon which her father did not comment including dress, health, diet, exercise and behaviour in social situations. His principal concern was with her education generally and specifically her ability to write letters well; his advice to her on this score was to copy Swift for grammar and punctuation. These letters also provide valuable insight into domestic life and the lives of servants. The bequest of these letters to Trinity College Library, University of Dublin, by Synge's descendant Marie-Louise Jenner, has revolutionised eighteenth-century Irish social and women's history.

Synge died in office on 24 July 1741, aged 61.

His daughter Alicia married Joshua Cooper MP (1732–1800) of Markree Castle in County Sligo. She was said to have a fortune of £50,000.

Double sunset

A double sunset is a rare astro-geographical phenomenon, in which the Sun appears to set twice in the same evening from a specific viewing-point. A double sunrise may also occur in a similar situation. Such phenomena may have been regarded as significant in prehistoric times, and double sunsets have been discussed in the context of archaeoastronomy by researchers such as Alexander Thom.

Italy
Orasso, a small village near the Italy-Switzerland border, sees two sunrises and two sunsets during the winter because of Mount Riga.

Spain
In the town of Güímar in Tenerife a double sunset has been observed in alignment with the local pyramids at summer solstice. In Spanish the phenomenon is described as a doble puesta. The site of the pyramids appears to have been used by the Guanche prehispanic culture, but the structures themselves have been dated to the 19th century.

Staffordshire
A well-documented example of a double or occulted sunset is associated with Leek, Staffordshire, England. The phenomenon is viewable from the town on and around the summer solstice in good weather.

The first published mention of the Leek double sunset was made in 1686 by Dr Robert Plot in his book The Natural History Of Stafford-Shire. The phenomenon would have been visible well before the seventeenth century. However, the alignment of sun and landscape is subject to change over the centuries as it is affected by the Earth's axial precession. This was realised by Plot who suggested that the sunset could be used to measure the obliquity of the ecliptic.

The traditional location for observing the phenomenon, as described by Plot, is the churchyard belonging to the parish church of St Edward the Confessor. The church is a medieval building, and it has been conjectured that the churchyard is an example of an ancient sacred site having been Christianised. Because of the chronology of the changing alignment, it seems that the site could not have been a viewing-point for the double sunset before the Iron Age. The first people to view the phenomenon may have been the area's Iron Age inhabitants.

From a particular point in the churchyard, the whole of the Sun set on the summit of Bosley Cloud, a millstone grit hill six miles to the northwest. The Sun partially reappeared from The Cloud's steep northern slope and soon afterwards set for a second and final time on the horizon. The spectacle was last reliably witnessed, and filmed, from the churchyard in 1977, but is no longer visible from the location because of tree interference. It is, however, still observable from Leek on and around the summer solstice from the road to Pickwood Hall, off Milltown Way, and from Lowe Hill on the outskirts of the town. Better viewing points, though, are from the A 523, above Rudyard Lake, and Woodhouse Green, both of which are nearer to The Cloud and therefore enable a larger proportion of the sun to reappear.

Derbyshire

 * Thorpe Cloud. Viewed from the top of nearby Lin Dale on and around the summer solstice and perhaps beyond. The Sun sets on the summit of the hill, partially reappears from its steep northern slope and sets for a second and final time shortly afterwards.

Scotland
In the 1950s Alexander Thom surveyed a megalithic site at Kintraw, a locality on the mainland of Scotland, which is in an area rich in prehistoric sites. Thom interpreted the site at Kintraw as a viewing point of a double sunset on the island of Jura (both the island and the mainland site are in Argyll and Bute). The proposed alignment is to a notch at a distance of 28 miles between the mountains of Beinn Shiantaidh and Beinn a' Chaolais which are visible from Kintraw. Thom described the site as a type of midwinter observatory, but his interpretation has been the subject of controversy, one point at issue being the visibility of the midwinter notch: a higher observation point is needed to see the midwinter notch on Jura over a nearby ridge. Euan MacKie, recognising that Thom's theories needed to be tested, excavated at the site in 1970 and 1971, and found evidence for an observation platform.

Tor Sørnes (11 November 1925 – 21 June 2017) was a Norwegian author, politician, engineer and the designer and inventor of the VingCard, the first recodable keycard lock and the magnetic stripe keycard lock.

Biography
Tor Sørnes was born in Sola, Rogaland county, Norway as a son of inventor, radio technician and clockmaker Rasmus Sørnes. Being the son of an inventor, Tor Sørnes occupied himself with technical matters already as a child. In 1950 he was employed a production planner at steel and ironware factory Christiania Staal & Jernvarefabrikk in Moss, Norway. The factory made locks and ice skates under the brand Ving. In 1955 he became the factory's machine constructor and when the factory in 1960—as one of the first in the country—established a department of research and development, he was its director.

In 1975 he launched the holecard based recodable keycard lock, where each new hotel guest could have his/her own unique key formed by a pattern of 32 holes in a plastic card. The invention is still in worldwide hotel security use under the brand VingCard. The 32 holes in the key gave 4.2 billion combinations, the precise same number as the population of the earth at the time. This lock system was patented in 29 countries. In 1975 Tor Sørnes launched the first recodable cardkey lock, the VingCard, which used a holecard plastic key. He then led the development of and patented the electronic keycard lock, based on the magnetic stripe key.

Export of the system was initiated in 1978 when it was installed in Peachtree Plaza Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia, at the time the world's tallest hotel. The hotel had been troubled by burglaries and was eager to test new security innovations.

In 1992–93 the electronic magnetic stripe card lock was launched and became a worldwide success. Tor Sørnes continued as a vice president and director of R&D at VingCard until retirement in 1992. Following the merger in November 1994 between VingCard's former owners, Abloy Security, and the Swedish Securitas AB, VingCard is now part of Assa Abloy, a Swedish lock manufacturer.

Tor Sørnes is a retired member of Moss city council, and lives in Jeløy. He is the father of author Torgrim Sørnes.

An Act to Encourage Immigration

An Act to Encourage Immigration was a federal law passed by the 38th United States Congress and signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln. It was the first major American law to encourage immigration.

Background
The Naturalization Act of 1790 was the first federal law to establish uniform qualification standards for naturalization of immigrants to the USA. Those standards were made more strict by the Naturalization Act of 1795. The Naturalization Act, one of the four laws included in the 1798 Alien and Sedition Acts, raised the qualification standards even further while giving the president broad powers of detention and deportation over foreign residents. The Naturalization Law of 1802 returned to the 1795 standards. One of the four 1798 laws, the Alien Enemies Act, remains in effect, usable during wartime.

In the 1850's, grassroots nativist feelings led to the establishment of the new Know Nothing political party. In its 1860 party platform, the Republican Party (also created in the 1850s) adopted the opposite position. The platform supporting Abraham Lincoln's presidential bid included seventeen "declarations". Declaration fourteen supported immigration and defended immigrant rights.

In December of 1863, Lincoln delivered his third annual message to Congress. He reiterated his intent to defend immigrants against unlawful claims, while also chiding foreign residents who abused the naturalization process to avoid citizen obligations - chiefly the military draft in effect during the Civil war.

Text of the Act
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the President of the United States is hereby authorized, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint a Commissioner of Immigration, who shall be subject to the direction of the Department of State, shall hold his office for four years, and shall receive a salary at the rate of $2,500 a year. The said Commissioner may employ not more than three clerks, of such grade as the Secretary of State shall designate, to be appointed by him, with the approval of the Secretary of State, and to hold their offices at his pleasure.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That all contracts that shall be made by emigrants to the United States in foreign countries, in conformity to regulations that may be established by the said Commissioner, whereby emigrants shall pledge the wages of their labor for a term not exceeding twelve months to repay the expenses of their emigration, shall be held to be valid in law, and may be enforced in the courts of the United States, or of the several States and Territories; and such advances, if so stipulated in the contract, and the contract be recorded in the Recorder's office in the county where the emigrant shall settle, shall operate as a lien upon any land thereafter acquired by the emigrant, whether under the Homestead Law when the title is consummated or on property otherwise acquired, until liquidated by the emigrant; but not being herein contained shall be deemed to authorize any contract contravening the Constitution of the United States or creating in any way the relation of Slavery or servitude.

SEC. 3. And be it further enacted; That no emigrant to the United States who shall arrive after the passage of this act shall be compulsively enrolled for military service during the existing insurrection, unless such emigrant shall voluntarily renounce under oath his allegiance to the country of his birth, and declare his intention to become a citizen of the United States.

SEC. 4. And be it further enacted, That there shall be established in the City of New-York an office to be known as the United States Emigrant Office; and there shall be appointed, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, an officer for said City, to be known as Superintendent of Immigration, at an annual salary of two thousand dollars; and the said Superintendent may employ a clerk of the first class; and such Superintendent shall, under the direction of the Commissioner of Immigration, make contracts with the different railroads and transportation companies of the United States for transportation tickets, to be furnished to such immigrants, and to be paid for by them, and shall, under such rules as may be prescribed by the Commissioner of Immigration, protect such immigrants from imposition and fraud, and shall furnish them such information and facilities as will enable them to proceed in the cheapest and most expeditious manner to the place of their destination. And such Superintendent of Immigration shall perform such other duties as may be prescribed by the Commissioner of Immigration: provided that the duties hereby imposed upon the Superintendent in the City of New-York shall not be held to affect the powers and duties of the Commissioner of the Immigration of the State of New-York. And it shall be the duty of said Superintendent in the City of New-York, to see that the provisions of the act commonly known as the Passenger Act, are strictly complied with, and all breaches thereof punished according to law.

SEC. 5. And be it further enacted. That no person shall be qualified to fill, any office under this act who shall be directly or indirectly interested in any corporation having lands for sale to immigrants, or in the carrying or transportation of immigrants, either from foreign countries to the United States and its Territories or to any part thereof, or who shall receive any fee or reward, or the promise thereof, for any service performed or any benefit rendered to any person or persons in the line or his duty under this act. And if any officer provided for by this act shall receive from any person or company any fee or reward, or promise thereof, for any services performed or any benefit rendered to any person or persons in the line of his duty under this act, he shall, upon conviction, be fined one thousand dollars or be imprisoned, not to exceed three years, at the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction, and forever after be ineligible to hold any office of honor, trust, or profit in the United States.

SEC. 6. And be it further enacted, that said Commissioner of Immigration shall, at the commencement of each annual meeting of Congress, submit a detailed report of the foreign immigration during the preceding year, and a detailed account of all expenditures under this act.

SEC. 7. And be it further enacted, that the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be necessary, in the judgment of the President, is hereby appropriated, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the purpose of carrying the provisions of this act into effect.

APPROVED, July 4, 1864.

New Information from William Leaver of LBME Publishing
Hello, Everyone!

I'm William Leaver of LBME Publishing, usually called Will. I've been tasked by my editor-in-chief to work up a biography of C. E. Scoggins for an upcoming project. I've done a considerable amount of research, and I hope that very soon I will be able to add some of the material here.

It seems that Scoggins was a rather remarkable man, with a colorful history, and I'm looking forward to sharing it.

I have a couple of concerns. One is that I don't step on any toes inadvertently. Another is that I'm new to editing Wikipedia, and I will welcome all the help I can get. I don't know, yet, about the Biography project. I am not quite sure about adding references. I have a ton of references, though, and will appreciate your assistance.

Applying definite integrals

For a discussion on the basic theory of integrals see: Riemann sum

Imagine an object $$\mathcal{O}$$ that is free to move in one dimension — say, along the $$x$$ axis. Like every physical object, it has a more or less fuzzy position (relative to whatever reference object we choose). For the purpose of describing its fuzzy position, quantum mechanics provides us with a probability density $$\rho(x).$$ This depends on actual measurement outcomes, and it allows us to calculate the probability of finding the particle in any given interval of the $$x$$ axis, provided that an appropriate measurement is made.

We call $$\rho(x)$$ a probability density because it represents a probability per unit length. The probability of finding $$\mathcal{O}$$ in the interval between $$x_1$$ and $$x_2$$ is given by the area $$A$$ between the graph of $$\rho(x),$$ the $$x$$ axis, and the vertical lines at $$x_1$$ and $$x_2,$$ respectively. How do we calculate this area? The trick is to cover it with narrow rectangles of width $$\Delta x.$$

The area of the first rectangle from the left is $$\rho(x_1+\Delta x)\,\Delta x,$$ the area of the second is $$\rho(x_1+2\,\Delta x)\,\Delta x,$$ and the area of the last is $$\rho(x_1+12\,\Delta x)\,\Delta x.$$ For the sum of these areas we have the shorthand notation

\sum_{k=1}^{12}\rho(x+k\,\Delta x)\,\Delta x.$$ It is not hard to visualize that if we increase the number $$N$$ of rectangles and at the same time decrease the width $$\Delta x$$ of each rectangle, then the sum of the areas of all rectangles fitting under the graph of $$\rho(x)$$ between $$x_1$$ and $$x_2$$ gives us a better and better approximation to the area $$A$$ and thus to the probability of finding $$\mathcal{O}$$ in the interval between $$x_1$$ and $$x_2.$$ As $$\Delta x$$ tends toward 0 and $$N$$ tends toward infinity ($$\infty$$), the above sum tends toward the integral

\int_{x_1}^{x_2}\rho(x)\,dx.$$

We sometimes call this a definite integral to emphasize that it's just a number. (As you can guess, there are also indefinite integrals, about which more later.) The uppercase delta has turned into a $$d$$ indicating that $$dx$$ is an infinitely small (or infinitesimal) width, and the summation symbol (the uppercase sigma) has turned into an elongated S indicating that we are adding infinitely many infinitesimal areas.

Don't let the term "infinitesimal" scare you. An infinitesimal quantity means nothing by itself. It is the combination of the integration symbol $$\textstyle\int$$ with the infinitesimal quantity $$dx$$ that makes sense as a limit, in which $$N$$ grows above any number however large, $$dx$$ (and hence the area of each rectangle) shrinks below any (positive) number however small, while the sum of the areas tends toward a well-defined, finite number.
