User:Samantha (Wiki Ed)/Berkeley Water Group Idea Lab

DRAFT
This course page is a resource for students within the Berkeley Water Group Idea Lab. BWGIL students are participating in a pilot program with Wiki Ed aiming to encourage extracurricular editing through student projects. Students will be asked to make contributions to articles related to water, sanitation, and hygiene on Wikipedia. On this page please find links to our online resources, trainings, and more.

For questions, contact Samantha at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>This Course Page may change. Check back for updates as Spring semester continues.

Pre Work

 * To be completed before Feb 23rd
 * If you haven't already, create a user account.
 * Take a moment to look at Wikipedia's username policy and consider how anonymous you would like to be on Wikipedia. You need not use your real name, although many Wikipedians choose to do so. Try to pick a fun username—at least one you'll remember.
 * When you've chosen a username, click "Create account" at the top right and follow the instructions.
 * Adding an email address to your account is strongly recommended; this allows you to send and receive emails with other editors. (Your email address is not revealed when other users contact you.) You can also receive email notifications whenever pages you are interested in get changed, if you wish. And if you forget your Wikipedia password, you can have it emailed to you — but only if you add your email address to your account!
 * Complete the online training for students. During this training, you will make edits in a sandbox and learn the basic rules of Wikipedia.
 * Create a User page, and and click the "enroll" button on the top left of this course page.
 * Research and list 3–5 articles on your Wikipedia user page that you will consider working on as your main project. Ask Samantha for comment.

 * Milestone:
 * All students have Wikipedia user accounts and are listed on the course page.

Initial Workshop

 * February 23rd, 600pm
 * Overview of the pilot program
 * Introduction to editing with Wikipedia
 * Wikipedia culture and etiquette, the concept of sandboxes and how to use them.
 * Open discussion of the concepts of neutrality, media literacy, and the impact and limits of Wikipedia.
 * Meet the Wikipedia community!
 * Q&A session with Samantha and/or Wikipedia Ambassador about interacting on Wikipedia and getting started with writing.
 * Demo making an edit & uploading images and adding images to articles.
 * Wikimedia Commons
 * Share experiences and discuss problems.

Fieldtrip
Wiki Ed will host a field trip for interested BWGIL students. The field trip provides a set editing goal of improving the Wikipedia page for the field trip location & subject. On the trip we will take photos, gather resources, and have fun! learning about a topic we're passionate about. We may prepare for the field trip by finding resources such as newspaper clippings and journal articles about the subject or location of the field trip that we can contribute to the article page. As a group, we can debrief after the field trip about what information we think should be included in the Wikipedia page and practice our editing skills by contributing that information.
 * date TBD
 * Possible field trip locations
 * SF Water Treatment Plants
 * Crystal Springs Reservoir

Follow up workshop, field trip debrief

 * date TBD
 * Formally discuss the field trip and what edits we think should be made to a Wikipedia page on the subject.
 * Add final touches to your Wikipedia article.
 * Answer any editing questions for personal projects.

 * Milestone
 * All students have started editing articles or drafts on Wikipedia.

Terms end
You made it!

 * Milestone
 * Students have gained professional development in their field, as well as media literacy, editing, proofreading & research skills!

Selecting your article
Before selecting the topic you will research, remember to review this guideline for selecting an article. Most important points:
 * To begin, check the available literature in your course work, class readings, or academic journals. Are there important people, things, theories, or events that aren't developed very well on Wikipedia? Search Wikipedia with a few different search terms to be sure.
 * Try to choose a "stub" or "start-class" article to expand.
 * Verify your topic's notability.
 * Search Wikipedia to see if this content already exists.
 * Make sure you have enough reliable sources to cite your contributions.
 * Work with a relevant WikiProject whenever possible.
 * If you're still stuck, check out this handout for more ideas.

Tips for personal Wikipedia projects

 * To prepare
 * Critically evaluate an existing Wikipedia article related to the club, and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's talk page.
 * Article selection
 * Add your article to the class’s course page.
 * Reach out to Samantha for questions.
 * Start small!
 * Add 1–2 sentences of new information, backed up with a citation to an appropriate source, to a Wikipedia topic of your choosing.
 * If you are starting a new article, write a 3–4 paragraph summary version of your article—with citations—in your Wikipedia sandbox.
 * If you are improving an existing article, write a summary version reflecting the content the article will have after it's been improved, and post this along with a brief description of your plans on the article’s talk page.
 * Sandboxes
 * How to use a sandbox for existing articles: When you start to revise larger chunks of an existing article, it's a good idea to draft your first significant edits into a sandbox. Don't copy the whole article, just choose the small piece you want to work with. Trying to rewrite an entire article in a sandbox can be annoying to editors who work on that article. Other editors will keep making good edits or expansions to that article while it's in your sandbox, which you'll kick out if you just copy and paste! Focus on small chunks of the text you want to edit instead. It's polite to use the talk page of the article to link to your sandbox when you copy things over. That way editors can see what you're up to, and post suggestions to the talk page before you start. Once you are happy with your sandbox draft, you can place another notice on the talk page of the article with a link to the sandbox, explaining what you've done and asking for comments on it once you've added it to the main page.
 * In general, the sooner you move out of a sandbox, the better. Then, watch the Talk page for your article. You may receive more feedback on your edit once it "goes live" compared to when it is in your sandbox.
 * Watchlist
 * When you add an article to your watchlist, you also watch the corresponding Talk page, so if someone responds to your article edits on the Talk page, it will show up on your watchlist.
 * Sources
 * Compile a bibliography of relevant research and post it to the talk page of the article you are working on to help keep track.
 * Look for news clipping, journal articles, and more.
 * Help eachother
 * Begin working with classmates and other editors to polish your short starter article and fix any major issues.
 * Select two articles that you will peer review and copy-edit.

 * Handouts
 * Handouts: “Uploading images” and “Evaluating Wikipedia article quality”
 * Handouts: Choosing an article

Cookbook talk:German Style Sweet Mustard (Senf)

could you define "small can of mustard"? Thanks, Gentgeen 07:47, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Done. I have also found that the type of mustard makes a difference on how sharp it is.  Only "Coleman" mustard powder seems to make it as sharp as I like it. liblamb

Recipe history
This recipe comes from a 4th or 5th generation German American from the Midwest. The recipe was lost for a time but eventually recreated by memory using taste and educated guesses. liblamb

Veracruz montane forests

The Veracruz montane forests (Bosques montanos de Veracruz) is a tropical moist broadleaf forest ecoregion in eastern Mexico. It includes a belt of montane tropical forest on the eastern slope of the southern Sierra Madre Oriental and eastern Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt ranges. These forests lie between the lowland Veracruz moist forests and the pine-oak forests of the higher mountains.

The Veracruz montane forests are the northernmost tropical montane moist forests in North America.

Flora
The forests are composed of evergreen broadleaf trees, which form a closed canopy. Epiphytes, including orchids, bromeliads, mosses, and lichens, are abundant.

The upper and lower montane forests vary somewhat in species composition. Lower montane forests predominate between 1,250 and 1,630 meters elevation. Characteristic trees are Clethra macrophylla, Liquidambar styraciflua, and Turpinia insignis, with Quercus sartorii, Quercus xalapensis, Carpinus tropicalis, and others.

In the upper montane forests Prunus rhamnoides and Quercus corrugata are the predominant species from 1800 to 2250 meters elevation, together with Cleyera theaeoides, Ternstroemia sylvatica, Weinmannia intermedia, Clethra schlechtendalii, and others. Forests dominated by Fagus grandifolia also grow in the upper montane zone, mostly between 1800 and 1900 meters elevation, with Ternstroemia sylvatica, Vaccinium leucanthum, Persea americana, and Oreopanax xalapensis.

Fauna
Mammals native to the ecoregion include the six species of large cats – jaguar (Panthera onca), ocelot (Leopardus pardalus), margay (Leopardus weidii), puma (Puma concolor), jaguarundi (Herpailurus yagouaroundi), and bobcat (Lynx rufus). Hoofed mammals include the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), red brocket (Mazama americana), and collared peccary (Tayassu tajacu). other mammals include the ringtail (Bassariscus astutus), long-tailed weasel (Neogale frenata), kinkajou (Potos flavus), tayra (Eira barbara), Mexican tree porcupine (Coendou mexicanus), nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus), and northern tamandua (Tamandua mexicana).

Native birds include the military macaw (Ara militaris), great curassow (Crax rubra), crested guan (Penelope purpurascens), white-crowned parrot (Pionus senilis), red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), and many neotropical migratory birds.

Protected areas
A 2017 assessment found that about 40% of the ecoregion is still forested. 303 km², or 6%, of the ecoregion is in protected areas. Protected areas include the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve, Zacatepec Ecological Conservation Area, Chicamole Ecological Conservation Area, Finca Tegolome Ecological Reserve, Zona Protectora Forestal Vedada Cuenca Hidrográfica del Río Necaxa Natural Resources Protection Area	(which is also a Ramsar Site), and the Cacalotepec fracción primera y fracción segunda and Área de Preservación de la Naturaleza y Zona de Usos Múltiples para el Ecoturismo Kolijke voluntary conservation areas.

Hunan Shoking F.C.

Hunan Shoking Football Club was a professional Chinese football club based in Changsha, Hunan Province, and participated in the China League One division under licence from the Chinese Football Association (CFA), after taking over Chongqing Lifan's place in the league before the 2014 season, but was relegated and dissolved after spending three seasons there.

History
Before the start of the 2004 Chinese football league season, Chongqing Lifan annexed Yunnan Hongta and took over their place in Chinese Super League. A new club, Hunan Shoking F.C., was formed by Hunan Corun New Energy Co. Ltd. (湖南科力远新能源有限公司) by merging existing two amateur teams already representing Hunan Province, Yiyang Corun and Hunan Wuqiang Hongdao, to take over Chongqing Lifan's spot in China League One by buying the club's registration into the division for 20 million Yuan. On January 15, 2004, the club was inaugurated into the Chinese football league. They hired former Chinese Olympic medalist Xiong Ni as their chairman and former Chinese international footballer Zhu Bo as their first manager. Playing in the 55,000-seat Helong Stadium in Changsha, the club had international players – Fu Bin and Srđan Bajčetić – while the youth team called Xiangxue Pharmaceutical participated in the 2004–05 Hong Kong First Division League to gain experience. Although the youth team had limited success, the senior team fared little better and struggled in their debut season by finishing tenth at the end.

The following season was extremely difficult for the club, Miloš Hrstić came in as manager but had an extremely high-profile dispute with the owners about unpaid wages. It was soon discovered that the club were in financial difficulties due to an excessive wage bill for their players along with renting of Helong Stadium. The ownership of the club moved to the company Bailong and their general manager Sun Yingui for a brief period. However this was short-lived and Hunan Corun took over the club again. While this was going on Li Hui was managing the side with little success. He and his players reached a breaking point after a humiliating 5–1 defeat to Shanghai Yungtay on June 18, 2005, in a Chinese FA Cup game. Li Hui publicly criticized his players' lack of commitment before deciding to leave the club. Wang Tao was brought in as his replacement to manage the club. The team finished in a disappointing twelfth but remained in the league. Li Kejia was brought in as a new manager in the 2006 league season, but was unable to stop the losing streak of the club in the new season, to the point when former Chinese international Hao Haidong was brought in as a General manager to help with the team. This turned out to be fruitless and the club finished at the bottom of the league, relegated to the third tier, and the club was dissolved soon afterwards.

Baseband Modulation/Demodulation techniques

Baseband modulation and demodulation techniques are fundamental to communication systems. Let's first understand what is baseband. Baseband is actual frequency band of signal (e.g. voice, video). If we consider the voice signal then voice signal band is approximately 4kHz. That means voice signal contains frequencies ranging from 0-4kHz.

What is Modulation? Modulation is basically increasing signal frequency someway. This means voice base band is 4kHz and uplifting voice signal frequency to lets say, 1900kHz. Now, question is why we need to uplift frequency of actual baseband signal? And here radio transmission basic concept comes into picture.

In very simple way length of antenna used to transmit signal is directly related to signal wavelength. Wavelength is length of single cycle of signal. And then what is frequency? Frequency is number of cycles of signal per second, or, inverse of time taken to complete one cycle. So, what we can deduce here is if frequency of signal is high then wave length of signal will be short and vice versa.

relation between frequency and wavelength is expressed by, c = f * λ where c = velocity of light which is approximately 3×10^8 m/s, f = frequency of signal, and λ = wavelength of signal.

Thus, light velocity f and wavelength λ are inversely proportional:

λ∝1/f

Let's get back to antenna again. The length of antenna required to transmit a signal is directly related (i.e. proportional) to signal wavelength, and, therefore, is inversely proportional to signal frequency. L∝λ∝1/f => λ=L=1/f Where L is the length of the antenna.

There are many types of antenna used according to requirement. Here, for understanding we will use basic dipole antenna. Length of dipole antenna used to transmit a signal is often λ/4 or λ/2 meter. Now, for example, let's consider the voice signal. The highest frequency component of voice signal is around 4kHz and its respective wavelength is about 75000 m. So, if we want to construct dipole antenna for voice transmission then the length of λ/4 dipole antenna will be more then 18000 m. Such antenna is not practically possible to construct! So, by uplifting signal's frequency, we decrease the length of the required antenna, making it possible to manufacture.
