Article Evaluation
Alexander du Toit

 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

Everything in the article is related to the life, work, and achievements of Alexander du Toit. There is no distracting or irrelevant information in the article.

 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

There is nothing overtly biased in the article. However, there were a couple of sentences in the "Career" section that seem opinionated. Specifically, the last sentence of the first paragraph and the last sentence of the third paragraph read like a personal viewpoint.

 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

The article primarily focuses on du Toit's work in geology. This makes sense, however, as geology was the subject of his studies and writings. Little is mentioned about his early life outside of his education.

 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?

The citation links all function correctly and support the information for which they are cited.

 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?

The entire "Career" section contains only one citation. For the amount of information in this section, there should be more citations. The information that is cited comes from neutral, reliable sources. The sources include maps, technical writings, and university and professional society lectures.

 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?

The information is not out of date, however there are content gaps present. It mentions du Toit's appointment in 1903, and the next date given is 1920. What did he do for the 17 years between those dates? His work is mentioned, but the article does not include when he did this work. Additionally, aside from mentioning some awards and honors, the article does not discuss what he did from 1937 to his death in 1948.

 * Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?

This article received a major overhaul in July 2007, when it was merged with other articles covering the same topic. A few other minor edits were made in 2008 and 2010, but it seems the article has remained untouched for the past nine years.

 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?

This article is rated as Start-Class. Importance is not mentioned. It is part of WikiProject Biography and is supported by the science and academia work group.

 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

We haven't really discussed late 19th century earth science yet in class, so names like Alexander du Toit and Alfred Wegener have not been mentioned.

Talk:Daryl Morey

Untitled
Where was Morey born? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:58, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Is it worth mentioning that Daryl worked at the MITRE Corporation from 1997 until 1999, leading research in the domain of Knowledge Management? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:58, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Section title for HK comments
reverted the section title from "Hong Kong comments" to "Twitter comments", and the edit summary cited that the paragraph mentions that Morey "has also tweeted about trump." Yes, he did tweet about Trump before, but the coverage has been overwhelmingly about his Hong Kong comments. In this case, it's really immaterial whether the comments were on Twitter, Facebook, in a press conference, etc. It's the subject of the comments that is defining.—Bagumba (talk) 11:00, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I changed the title back to its more generic form in part as a way to temper down the emotions around the issue - getting specific about material (i.e. the title) that has such a place of prominence is just going to further inflame the affects of the of readers the who are going to be arriving at this article with a passionate state of mind in the first place. Given that, I'd say that the currrent version (pro democracy twitter comments) is even worse.
 * Can you also explain these two edits (#1, #2) of yours? The reason why I dont agree with #1 is that the MSN article just mentions the trump tweet in passing, the main point of it is about the hong kong tweet - hence the word "note". I also disagree with #2 because there is a categorical difference between the people's republic of china and the republic of china when it comes to politics (and especially political issues of this sort that deals directly with things like this, freedom, human rights, etc); this (at least) is my impression of how similar debates on other articles over the naming issue between these two places have been resolved. I understand that you are an admin, but given the nature and context of this issue (we can both agree that this whole thing is a major political issue that is going to attract lots of attention to this page) I have, for now, reverted those two edits of yours. I am obviously open to debating your two edits further but getting the wording is going to be key, especially in these next few days. Flaughtin (talk) 23:29, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * My edits were not in an admin role; they don't have any higher standing than anyone else's. Per WP:SAY, "noted" can give the undue impression of importance over "wrote". Regarding PRC, the name of the WP article has been a long-standing China. No need to be more "formal" here. There's undoubtedly lengthy discussion that led to the stable page title.  Regarding using the title "Twitter comments" to "temper down the emotions", titles should be neutral and concise. Referring to "Twitter" is superficial, as HK is the core subject.  It's not polarizing like "pro-democracy" or "anti-sovereignty comments". Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 23:47, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * i was under the impression that your input had more weight becuase you were an admin so thanks for clearing this up.
 * Per WP:SAY, "noted" can give the undue impression of importance over "wrote". I had the opposite reading, the term wrote per WP:SAY is a generic one - meant to convey objectivitiy, so saying that the MSN article wrote the thing about the trump tweet gives the impression that that was the main issue (obviously it isnt, the article itself makes that clear). That said i'll try to sidestep this issue completely by presenting it as fact (which it is - his trump tweet is still on his twitter ffeed)
 * Regarding PRC, the name of the WP article has been a long-standing China. No need to be more "formal" here. There's undoubtedly lengthy discussion that led to the stable page title. I still would disagree with this, I think we do need to be formal given the context. It's political which is exactly what defines the difference between these two terms. If anything else, there's also a pragmatic reason to get specific about this: preventing future edit warring over the terminological issue. I could understand if this policy/guideline applied to any other article genre though.
 * It's not polarizing like "pro-democracy" or "anti-sovereignty comments". Well we can agree on that. I've went ahead and changed the title to Hong Kong twitter comments (i am ok with settling on that)Flaughtin (talk) 00:26, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * OK, there's probably a subtlety that I missed about HK w.r.t. "China", so saying PRC to highlight the government involved is probably in the spirit of MOS:NC-CN, which deals more with China vs. Taiwan. However, perhaps the part of the Rockets relationship might more appropriately use "mainland China" as opposed to PRC.—Bagumba (talk) 00:50, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Done. Flaughtin (talk) 01:43, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I tweaked some parts that were gov't related to use PRC.—Bagumba (talk) 04:35, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Twitter is a proper noun, hence it should be "Hong Kong Twitter comments". However, one could construe that to mean a HK branch office of Twitter, or HK Twitter as a separate corporate division.  We could go with "Hong Kong comments on Twitter" or "Twitter comments on Hong Kong", but I still maintain that plain "Hong Kong comments" is concise, succinct, and neutral.  I'll leave it to you (or others) on how to handle Twitter. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 04:43, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Ive went with twitter comments on Hong Kong. Keeps best with the discussion (about keeping things generic) above. Flaughtin (talk) 05:30, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Separate page for twitter comments?
There's a pretty detailed Chinese Wikipedia page (https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E5%B9%B4NBA%E6%92%91%E6%B8%AF%E4%BA%89%E8%AE%AE%E4%BA%8B%E4%BB%B6) on that subject. So far there's no English version yet. Should the section relocate to that page? Meng Yibai (talk) 18:15, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Seems premature to know if it passes WP:NEWSEVENT yet. Too bad there isnt an existing article like NBA marketing or NBA in China. There is a quasi-alternative at National_Basketball_Association_criticisms_and_controversies, if this becomes less about Morey directly.—Bagumba (talk) 23:53, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * It has become less about Morey but NBA (or even debate on freedom of speech). I firmly welcome you to express your opinion in the Splitting proposal.Mariogoods (talk) 10:15, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

I propose that sections Twitter comments on Hong Kong be split into a separate page called Morey Twitter comment controversy. The content of the current page seems off-topic and these sections are large enough to make their own page. As far as I know, public figures in both China side and America side has spoken for their opinions (in America side, Hilary and Trump?). OR speaking, I believed it shows the conflict between China value and America value. Mariogoods (talk) 10:08, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd say WP:AVOIDSPLIT, continue growing this if needed, and wait few more days and see where this goes. Because this is ongoing, I think there a tempation to ignore WP:NOTDIARY and go into play-by-play details (e.g. gratuitous quotes) if this was a separate article. Ultimately, WP:NEWSEVENT needs to be met. If you think is has, go for it. Another option is to put this in 2019–20 NBA season, where it can be more than about Morey.—Bagumba (talk) 10:42, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

As I said before, there's already a fairly long article in Chinese about this event. I think perhaps this can be added somewhere to the articles about 2019 Hong Kong protests. The Chinese version is called "NBA supporting Hong Kong (protests) incident". Meng Yibai (talk) 15:37, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * , I agree we should not split, per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:RECENTISM. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:41, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree that we shouldn't split until it settles down a bit. But still I think we should consider splitting if it has long term fallouts (like China's permenantly banning the Rockets). Also, apart from tweeting an image and issuing a short statement, the events afterwards have little to do with Morey. I think it's a bit like like writing about the first World War under the page of Danilo Ilić. So if this incident goes on for a while, I think the section should be split. Meng Yibai (talk) 15:50, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

This has been going on for over a week with continuing fallout. The tweets by LeBron yesterday have attracted significant criticism and controversy. This doesn't seem like it's going away any time soon. Strongest possible support for splitting. Jdcomix (talk) 12:46, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with you. As far as I know, the thing has been depicted by Chinese media as the example of alleged double standard and "fake" freedom of speech. Mariogoods (talk) 04:36, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 29 October 2020

Lukas Branezac Lukas Branezac aka Luk, discovered his love for electronical music back in 1997, when his older, DJ, brother handed him down his DJ Equipment and taught him to spin LPs. At the start Luk was obsessed with Trance, Techno, Acid and Progressive, but then his deep passion for LPs grew more and more and the whole system was relocated from the family living room to a studio.

Luk was allowed able to show off what his brother had taught him and his self-taught skills with Electro and Housebeats in some favorite clubs in Switzerland. His cheerful presence behind the mixer causes the crowd to be enthusiastic and attentive. Since the beginning of 2006 Luk was able to add several famous locations in his reference list. Clubs like "LOFT","Saulenhalle", "Pravda", "Prestige", "The Club", "Moods", "Nordstern Lifestyle", "Fonda" and many others just like to mention a few. His next goal is to move into production and start getting his own tracks together.

1997-Present

In the past few years he had some great Gigs in Switzerland, In July 2015 he went to SAE Electronic Music Producer school in Zurich. In 2017 he successfully finished his Master Diploma at Pointblank and released already some remixes like Closer from Chainsmokers, Haddaway-What is love, Adele-Hello, Marvin Gaye-Sexual Healing,James Arthur-Says you won't let go.

French/Grammar/Tenses/Past imperative

Usage of the Past Imperative
The past imperative is only ever used for giving commands one would like to have done - this is a rare literary mood as the present imperative is used more frequently. Chances are that you'll never need to know this mood in your life, let alone use direct, indirect pronouns and negations with this!

1) Aie écrit ce rapport demain - Have this report written tomorrow. 2) Soyez partis à midi - Leave / be gone by noon. 3) Ayons fini les devoirs à 7h00 - Let's have our homework finished by 7h00. 4) N'aie jamais mangé tes légumes - Never have your vegetables eaten. 5) Ne l'aie pas déclarée coupable - Have her not found guilty.

Formation of the Past Imperative

 * The impératif passé is a compound tense- it consists of two verbs, the auxiliary verb and the past participle of the verb one seeks to use in this tense.
 * The auxiliary verb is conjugated as if it were being used in the present imperative.
 * The past participle is added immediately after the auxiliary verb.
 * A negative structure such as ne ... pas is always placed around the auxiliary verb, immediately before the past participle.

Cryptography/Atbash cipher

Atbash is an ancient encryption system created in the Middle East. It was originally used in the Hebrew language; some historians and cryptographers believe there are such examples in the Bible. The name "Atbash" comes from the first Hebrew letter Aleph and the last Taff. The Atbash cipher is a simple substitution cipher that relies on transposing all the letters in the alphabet such that the resulting alphabet is backwards. Atbash is also a substitution cipher. Since each letter corresponds to another, it offers very little security. The first letter is replaced with the last letter, the second with the second-last, and so on. The completed cypher looks like so:

Plain: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Cipher: ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA

An example plaintext to ciphertext using Atbash:

Plain: MEETMEATONE Cipher: NVVGNVZGLMV

As one can see, and as mentioned previously, the Atbash cipher offers no security once the cipher method is found.

Category talk:Non-fiction crime writers

From Category talk:True crime writers
This page should be merged with Category:Non-fiction crime writers and all entries re classified. non-fiction crime writers is a slightly older category, but true crime seems more colloquial and more likely to be happened upon. Scarykitty 04:13, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It's more colloquial, but a couple of months back the parent category was re-named from Category:True crime books to Category:Non-fiction crime books. So I'll support the merge, but probably not in the way originally suggested by Scarykitty. Cheers, ♥ Her Pegship ♥ 21:26, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

 * cool, wasn't aware of the other change. so let's merge true crime into non-fiction crime.  and then make sure stuff redirects cause people will come looking for true crime, as I did.  Got any recommendations for authors to branch out from Ann Rule?  Scarykitty 20:49, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

 * also, what do you think will be the process for doing this merge? Will we have to go to each page, eg Truman Capote and re categorize him as a non fiction crime writer, not a crime writer.  any easier way to do this?  Scarykitty 20:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

 * There's a process at Categories for discussion; I'll list these items there, and someone of admin status can do the dirty work. Cheers, ♥ Her Pegship ♥ 23:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Esteiro Lighthouse

The Esteiro Lighthouse (Farol do Esteiro) is an active Portuguese lighthouse located at Oeiras, about 10 km west of the centre of Lisbon, in parkland that also contains the National Stadium of Portugal. It is a rectangular masonry tower covered with white tiles. The south side has two red horizontal bands that serve as identification during daylight.

History
On August 1, 1878, two red lights were introduced at Alto de Caxias and Porto Covo. These directed the path that vessels should follow when entering and exiting the Port of Lisbon. Initially the lights were housed in wooden constructions but in December 1879, when the towers had been completed, fixed red lights were installed in both. They each consisted of a catoptric device with a parabolic reflector and an Argand lamp with two twists.

In 1913 it was decided to transfer these lights to Esteiro and Gibalta with the intention that these, together with the nearby Mama lighthouse would mark the channel into Lisbon's port. The Esteiro lighthouse went into operation in May 1914. Its tower is 15 meters high and the light is 82 meters above sea level. It is several hundred metres inland, about 800 metres northeast of the Gibalta light.

The optical apparatus is dioptric catadioptric, a fifth-order bulls-eye Fresnel lens. The light is red, fixed, illuminating an arc of 15º. From March 1916 to December 1918, it was not used due to World War I. In 1926 two red central stripes were painted on the face of the tower facing south, thus showing five bands of equal width, alternately white and red. A building was built next to the tower in 1949 in order to install a radio beacon. The light was electrified with power from the public grid in 1951. In the event of a power failure, an automatic backup generator was available. Also in 1951, a flashing light was introduced with four-second flashes. In 1957 a new installation means that in the event of electricity failure, the light automatically switches to acetylene gas.

13 Vendémiaire

13 Vendémiaire, Year 4 in the French Republican Calendar (5 October 1795 in the Gregorian calendar), is the name given to a battle between the French Revolutionary troops and Royalist forces in the streets of Paris. This battle was part of the establishing of a new form of government, the Directory, and it was a major factor in the rapid advancement of Republican General Napoleon Bonaparte's career.

Background
The social reforms of the French Revolution had been well received by the majority of the populace of France, but the Revolution's strongly anti-Catholic stance had created anti-Republican sympathies in many Roman Catholics. In March 1793, this sentiment boiled over into an armed insurrection in the fiercely Catholic Vendée region of western France. A rebel army titled Armée catholique et royale now proved to be a thorn in the side of the Revolutionary government in Paris, under leaders such as François de Charette de la Contrie and Maurice d'Elbée. The rebels were known as Chouans, a title which comes from early Royalist leader Jean Cottereau's nickname Jean Chouan. The Armée catholique et royale quickly garnered British support and got off to a promising start, severely defeating several Revolutionary Armies. The Revolutionary Committee of Public Safety ordered General Jean-Baptiste Carrier to pacify the region, and over several months Carrier ruthlessly suppressed the Vendée. The local population dubbed Carrier's forces the colonnes infernales (hellish columns). On 22 December 1793, the Chouan rebellion subsided following a major defeat at the Battle of Savenay.

Following the 9th Thermidor, those Chouans willing to lay down arms were granted amnesty by the reformed National Convention. The Chouans responded by attacking the Republican-held town of Guémené-sur-Scorff on 28 January 1795. The Convention immediately ordered General Louis Lazare Hoche to proceed to the Vendée and force the Chouans to agree to a cessation of hostilities. Hoche quickly defeated the Chouan army and on 17 February François de Charette de la Contrie signed a very generous peace settlement. A small contingent of Royalists under the command of General Jean-Nicolas Stofflet and the fanatical Etienne-Alexandre Bernier refused to accept the peace settlement and continued to offer resistance to Hoche's army. They were supported by the British in the form of 4,000 émigrés. This large force was placed under the command of émigré Générals Joseph de Puisaye and Hermilly. Hearing of this, de Charette de la Contrie broke the peace agreement and reopened hostilities. On 26 June, the émigré force landed at Carnac. Hermilly quickly advanced on Auray before engaging and being defeated by Hoche at Vannes. By early July, Hermilly had been forced out of Auray and was besieged in the Fortress of Penthièvre. This meant that the entire insurgent army was now trapped on the Quiberon peninsula. On 15 July, an additional émigré division arrived to bolster the defense, under the command of Général Charles François de Virot de Sombreuil, but Hermilly was killed in action on 16 July. By the 20th, the fortress had fallen and Hoche swiftly advanced down the peninsula, defeating the hopelessly trapped émigré army. Only Général Puisaye and a small force were able to escape with the British fleet; the remainder were killed in action, taken prisoner, or executed.

Despite the failure of the émigré army, de Charette de la Contrie continued to offer resistance. In early September, a popular revolt broke out in the area around Dreux, but it was defeated in battle at Nonancourt. De Charette de la Contrie himself suffered a major defeat at Saint-Cyr on 25 September. Despite this, the Comte d'Artois landed at Île d'Yeu with 1,000 émigrés and 2,000 British troops. Bolstered by this force, the Royalist troops began marching on Paris in early October 1795. The arrival of the Comte d'Artois excited the jeunesse dorée Royalist supporters in the Le Peletier section of the capital (named for the Rue Le Peletier in what is now the Second Arrondissement), and they began demonstrations in the form of felling Liberty Trees and trampling cockades of France. Rumours began to circulate regarding the likely defection of the entire Paris National Guard.

Vendémiaire
The Convention quickly realised that it was in severe danger, and that an enemy force was on French soil; indeed, the insurrection in Paris meant that there was now an enemy force within the capital itself. The Convention declared its intention to remain in their meeting rooms until the crisis was resolved. It called for the formation of three battalions of Patriots to be raised from the Jacobin military staff dismissed after 9 Thermidor. Général Jean-François, baron de Menou was given command of the defence of the capital, but he was severely outnumbered with only 5,000 troops on hand to resist the Royalist army of 25,000 men.

On 12 Vendémiaire (4 October 1795), the National Guard arrived in Le Peletier in an attempt to put down the unrest. The Military Committee of the Sections of the Capital under the command of Richer de Sévigny announced that the decrees of the Convention were no longer recognised. Général Louis Michel Auguste Thévenet (called Danican) took command of the National Guard in the Le Peletier section. The Convention ordered Menou to advance into Le Peletier, to disarm the entire area, and to close Danican's headquarters. Generals Despierres and Verdière were sent to Menou to assist him. Menou divided his force into three columns and planned an advance into Le Peletier on the evening of 12 Vendémiaire. When the advance was set to begin, Despierres reported that he was unwell and unable to proceed, and Verdière refused to advance. Menou timidly advanced towards the Royalist force, inviting the rebels to discuss terms of their dispersal. He withdrew after receiving the insurgents' promise to disarm.

The Le Peletier section, seeing this as a sign of weakness on the part of the Convention, called upon the other sections of Paris to rise up. Menou realised his mistake, and launched a cavalry attack down the Rue du Faubourg-Montmartre, temporarily clearing the area of Royalists. The Convention dismissed Menou from the command and ordered Paul François Jean Nicolas Barras to take over the defence of the Convention.

Battle

Young General Napoléon Bonaparte was aware of the commotion, and he arrived at the Convention around this time to find out what was happening. He was quickly ordered to join Barras' forces mustering for the defence of the Republic. Bonaparte accepted, but only on the condition that he was granted complete freedom of movement.

At 1 am on 13 Vendémiaire (5 October), Bonaparte overrode Barras, who was content to let him do as he wished. Bonaparte ordered Joachim Murat, a sous-lieutenant in the 12ème Régiment de Chasseurs à Cheval, to ride to the plain of Sablons and to return with the 40 cannons which Menou had indicated were located there. Murat's squadron retrieved the cannons before the Royalists arrived and Bonaparte organised their arrangement, placing them in commanding areas with effective fields of fire.

The Republican forces were outnumbered approximately 6 to 1, but they held their perimeter all the same. At 5 am, a probing attack by the Royalist forces was repulsed. Five hours later, the major Royalist assault by 7,000 men began. The Republican forces held their perimeter, the cannons firing grapeshot into the massed Royalist forces. The Patriot battalions supporting the artillery also cut down the advancing Royalist ranks. Bonaparte commanded throughout the two-hour engagement, and survived unscathed despite having his horse shot from under him. The effect of the grapeshot and the volleys from the Patriot forces caused the Royalist attack to waver. Bonaparte ordered a counterattack led by Murat's squadron of chasseurs. At the close of the battle, around three hundred Royalists lay dead on the streets of Paris.

Scottish philosopher and historian Thomas Carlyle later famously recorded that, on this occasion, Bonaparte gave his opponent a "Whiff of Grapeshot" and that "the thing we specifically call French Revolution is blown into space by it." That is, 13 Vendémiaire marks the ending of the French Revolution. (The phrase is often ascribed to Bonaparte himself, but the words are probably Carlyle's. )

Aftermath
The defeat of the Royalist insurrection extinguished the threat to the Convention. On 19 October all the officers in the army, also the ones who were dismissed, had to prove for the Committee of Public Safety where they were on the days around 13 Vendémiaire. On Sunday 25 October the National Convention declared itself dissolved and voted for a general amnesty for "deeds exclusively connected with the Revolution". Not long after the Directoire and Council of Five Hundred was installed; the Committee of Public Safety disappeared. Napoleon was appointed as General in Chief of the Army of the Interior. Bonaparte became a national hero, and was quickly promoted to Général de Division. Within five months, he was given command of the French army conducting operations in Italy. The defeated Royalists, in an effort to portray the Republican defense as a massacre, nicknamed Bonaparte Général Vendémiaire, a title which he later claimed would be his first title of glory.

In film
The first episode of the 2002 miniseries Napoléon portrays the battle of 13 Vendémiaire. The events are also depicted in the 2023 film ''Napoleon.

Learning the vi Editor/Advanced tasks

Copying and Pasting
Copying and pasting tasks are done with three keys, (for "yank"),   (for "delete"), and  (for "paste"). In general, you type or  to tell vi that you're at the position where you want to start yanking or deleting some text. Then you need to tell vi where to stop, using cursor movement or other commands.

You can also simply use key to enter a visual mode. Then you can highlight text by moving cursor keys. And finally press to copy text to clipboard. And for paste.

A Word
To delete a single word, move your cursor to the first letter, then type. To yank a single word, move your cursor to the first letter, then type.

Other Methods
Move to the character past the last letter and type.

To delete a word like "can't", which has an apostrophe, move to the first character and type. Note the capital W. This tells vi to go all the way to the first whitespace character after the word.

Likewise, try dB.

A Line
To delete a single line, type.

Other Amounts
One of the great things about vi is that it lets you select a bunch of text without having to move your hand to your mouse.

Type. This will mark the current position that your cursor is at as mark a. You can go back to this position anytime you want from now on by typing. (`a means "move to the character that has been marked as a")

Now move to some other position. Type. This will delete everything from the current position to the position you marked as a.

Note that you can use nearly any key in place of the used in this example. For instance, you might use to mark the top of a section, or  to mark the bottom. These mnemonics are strictly in the user's head – vi doesn't care that t means top or b means bottom. Vi will remember all unique bookmarks, allowing the user to easily and quickly jump between them. Some users find using to be a convenient temporary bookmark, because it can be typed so quickly.

To the end or beginning of a line
or

To the end or beginning of the file
or

To the next occurrence of a pattern
/myPattern

This is particularly useful when editing HTML files with d/<

Adjusting the Screen
vi, as a visual screen-oriented editor has a number of useful commands to redraw or adjust the screen in case you find yourself somewhere where you don't want to be.

If you run in a Unix shell, it is possible that some background process writes to the same terminal. This will disturb vi's screen layout. In order to force vi to redraw the complete screen, press or. Both commands do the same.

If you want to adjust what is currently displayed, then the command is rather useful. It's a kind of Swiss army knife, and has a rather complex syntax:

[/pattern/][m] [n](|.|-)

([ ... ] denotes optional items, (...|...) denotes alternatives)

Before we explain the syntax in detail, here are some common applications of the command:

Scroll the screen so the current line becomes the middle line of the screen. The cursor remains on that line:

Scroll the screen so the current line becomes the top line on the screen:

Scroll the screen, so the current line becomes the bottom line of the screen

If a  or a number m is given the cursor is moved further after the adjustment. indicates to move the cursor to the first match of that pattern. m indicates to move the cursor to the mth line on the screen. So, for example,

would first scroll the screen so the current line becomes the top line on the screen, and then move the cursor to the first 'while' in the text from that position on.

The number n is a rather obscure parameter. If provided, it tells vi to behave as if the screen is just n lines high. The result is that only n number of lines are adjusted, and the rest of the screen is either ignored or cleared, presumably useful on slow terminals to avoid redrawing the screen unneccessarily.

Untitled
I'll use Russian:Various stuff to practice my own Russian. Probably it will contain stuff that can be used later at other places. Guaka 00:36, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I vote for using Unicode stress marks to indicate stress (as in Russian:Possessive pronouns) and reserving boldface for emphasis (e.g. to highlight changing word endings). This would be more consistent with traditional textbooks. For new content, you can copy and paste the stress character if you don't have another way of inputing them. Any thoughts? Fleminra 20:21, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Would it make more sense to put the stress marks over the vowel of the syllables?

I agree about the stress marks- the way it looks right now is very confusing. Paul_Lynch DettoAltrimenti 02:06, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Verbal Aspect
I've added as section on verbal aspect to the grammar section of the page. I am not a native speaker of Russian, but rather an American who has studied Russian. If I've made mistakes, particularly in examples, please feel free to correct them. In any case, I believe the addition of the verbal aspect page was needed, and what I've put up is a start.

Planning
After 6 months of being away (studying in Moscow) and no one doing anything to this wikibook, I'd like to start the page Russian/Planning. This page will state what this book needs (and it needs a lot) and how it should be organized. If anyone at all still looks at this wikibook, please leave me a message on my user page. I plan on going onto the russian wikibooks site in the next few days, to look for native speakers to help with audio files, dialogues, and exercises. I would really like this wikibook start to resemble something close to the French or Spanish wikibook, or something even better than those. Any help would be appreciated! DettoAltrimenti 14:19, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Why is some of the language links go to the French Wikibooks?--<IP_ADDRESS> 22:29, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Never mind. I figured it out. For some reason the Russian Language template interwiki linked to the French Language wikibooks in several languages. I removed that.--<IP_ADDRESS> 22:33, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Download
It says download or print version, how do I download the wikibook

Construction
Planning seems to fall through after a couple of efforts, so I propose we structure it here and play it by ear. Mostly, editors come on spurts and then get bored and leave. I for one hope I can stay to improve this lacking Wikibook, and it won't work if we're all afraid to go against a plan. I'm going in. ALTON .ıl  05:12, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Note: NEVER hesitate to change something! If you disagree with it, change it. Wikibooks is not that large enough of a project to get picky over things like proper references and things. I'm trying to start a general restructure, so try to follow that, but if you hate the seal on the front page, go change it (I think it's nice-looking though). ALTON .ıl  05:12, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Note: Be harsh on the Stage templates, please. A cursory glance through most articles gave me the impression none of it is more than 25% done. Even though Lesson 1 has much of the basic text, I rate it 25% because it is hardly structured and formatted as a lesson. It has a while to go before it is of much use. ALTON .ıl  05:24, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Note: I like the cheat sheet in the Esperanto book. ALTON .ıl  09:12, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Thus begins another attempt at working on this book. ALTON .ıl  09:03, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Removed intro: may use later, but seems to be most effective when getting right to material:
 * Welcome to the Russian Wikibook. Russian is an East Slavic language, and is grouped with Ukrainian and Belarusian. Russian is written with the Cyrillic alphabet. Russian was the defacto universal and official language of the Soviet Union, and remains the official language of Russia and the CIS. Russian is also an official language in Belarus and Kazakhstan, and it is an official language of the United Nations. Outside the former USSR, there are large communities of Russian-speakers in every part of the world. Even astronauts, who work with the International Space Station, are trained to speak Russian to some form of fluency as there are Russian cosmonauts who operate the ISS.

 * Knowledge of the Russian language will increase appreciation of a rich and diverse body of literature, and assist in learning other languages of the Slavic family (like Polish, Czech, Slovak, Serbo-Croatian, Slovenian and Bulgarian). It is not an easy language to take on, as an entirely new alphabet and grammatical structure slow down beginners. With practice and immerssion, Russian will become a passion, and soon after, an acquired language.

 * The Russian Wikibook is structured in a way to present the most integrated material in short, easy to digest lessons. To begin, read the Introduction and learn how best to learn with this book.

ALTON .ıl  01:44, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Any new lessons coming soon?
Could someone Russian talking create some easy texts with translations because it would be alot easier to learn Russian with examples and by seeing the language in use? --Mikaell (talk) 14:20, 17 April 2008 (UTC) I am a native speaker. Often too busy but willing to help bit by bit. Throw some ideas about what you learners want to see here and I will see what I can do. You can also help by structuring the lessons, so a native speaker could only fill the gaps - Russian text, pronunciation etc. If interested post to my talk page. --Atitarev (talk) 12:13, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Textbook-style?
I admit that I am no native speaker and can only contribute with a limited level of Russian, but I'm currently learning this language with an 1982-issue (sorry, there isn't a newer one here) of a Russian textbook meant for Chinese learners with a 15-lesson Pronunciation Course(correct me if I'm wrong about this translation of Вводно-фонетический Курс) and a 40-lesson Basics Course (Основной Курс), as well as about 1200 words, concentrating on a few aspects and bringing in the language cases according to their frequency of use (Basically Nominative-Accusative-Prepositional-Genitive-Dative-Instrumental). Should the Wikibook about Russian be structured like this or should it be made like something else? Varxo (discuss • contribs) 12:19, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Waves/Plane Waves

Plane Waves
A plane wave in two or three dimensions is like a sine wave in one dimension except that crests and troughs aren't points, but form lines (2-D) or planes (3-D) perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Figure 2.5 shows a plane sine wave in two dimensions. The large arrow is a vector called the wave vector, which defines (1) the direction of wave propagation by its orientation perpendicular to the wave fronts, and (2) the wavenumber by its length. We can think of a wave front as a line along the crest of the wave. The equation for the displacement associated with a plane sine wave in three dimensions at some instant in time is
 * $$ A(x,y,z) = \sin (\mbox{k} \cdot \mbox{r} ) = \sin (k_x x + k_y y + k_z z) . $$ (3.9)

Figure 2.5: Definition sketch for a plane sine wave in two dimensions. The wave fronts are constant phase surfaces separated by one wavelength. The wave vector is normal to the wave fronts and its length is the wavenumber. Since wave fronts are lines or surfaces of constant phase, the equation defining a wave front is simply $$\mbox{k} \cdot \mbox{r} = const$$.

In the two dimensional case we simply set $$k_z = 0$$. Therefore, a wavefront, or line of constant phase $$\phi $$ in two dimensions is defined by the equation
 * $$ \mbox{k} \cdot \mbox{r} = k_x x + k_y y = \phi \quad \mbox{(two dimensions)} . $$ (3.10)

This can be easily solved for $$y$$ to obtain the slope and intercept of the wavefront in two dimensions.

As for one dimensional waves, the time evolution of the wave is obtained by adding a term $$- \omega t$$ to the phase of the wave. In three dimensions the wave displacement as a function of both space and time is given by
 * $$ A(x,y,z,t) = \sin (k_x x + k_y y + k_z z - \omega t ) . $$ (3.11)

The frequency depends in general on all three components of the wave vector. The form of this function, $$\omega = \omega (k_x, k_y , k_z )$$, which as in the one dimensional case is called the dispersion relation, contains information about the physical behavior of the wave.

Some examples of dispersion relations for waves in two dimensions are as follows:

 * Light waves in a vacuum in two dimensions obey
 * $$ \omega = c ( k_x^2 + k_y^2 )^{1/2} \quad \mbox{(light)}, $$ (3.12)
 * where $$c$$ is the speed of light in a vacuum.

 * Deep water ocean waves in two dimensions obey
 * $$ \omega = g^{1/2} ( k_x^2 + k_y^2 )^{1/4} \quad \mbox{(ocean waves)}, $$ (3.13)
 * where $$g$$ is the strength of the Earth's gravitational field as before.

 * Certain kinds of atmospheric waves confined to a vertical $$x-z$$ plane called gravity waves (not to be confused with the gravitational waves of general relativity)3.1 obey
 * $$ \omega = \frac{N k_x}{k_z} \quad \mbox{(gravity waves)}, $$ (3.14)
 * where $$N$$ is a constant with the dimensions of inverse time called the Brunt-Väisälä frequency.

Figure 2.6: Contour plots of the dispersion relations for three kinds of waves in two dimensions. In the upper panels the curves show lines or contours along which the frequency $$\omega $$ takes on constant values. For light and ocean waves the frequency depends only on the magnitude of the wave vector, whereas for gravity waves it depends only on the wave vector's direction, as defined by the angle $$\theta $$ in the upper right panel. These dependences for each wave type are illustrated in the lower panels.

Contour plots of these dispersion relations are plotted in the upper panels of figure 2.6. These plots are to be interpreted like topographic maps, where the lines represent contours of constant elevation. In the case of figure 2.6, constant values of frequency are represented instead. For simplicity, the actual values of frequency are not labeled on the contour plots, but are represented in the graphs in the lower panels. This is possible because frequency depends only on wave vector magnitude $$(k_x^2 + k_y^2 )^{1/2}$$ for the first two examples, and only on wave vector direction $$\theta $$ for the third.

Minor changes
Added a sentence on his 2006 book, Ethics. Also deleted the claim that he is often confused with an Iowa judge by the same name. I would be very surprised if either moral philosophers or Iowa jurists really get confused.

He's listed as a verificationist - perhaps someone could add a few sentences about this? Thomas Ash 11:58, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

CHAMP (mathematics outreach program)

CHAMP (the Cougars and Houston Area Mathematics Program) is a mathematics and STEM outreach program that ran from Fall 2013–Spring 2019. CHAMP was created and directed by Mark Tomforde, and it used volunteer effort from undergraduate and graduate students to provide tutoring and mathematics lessons for high school and middle school students from underserved communities surrounding the University of Houston. CHAMP lessons were taught in an interactive style similar to a math circle.

Impact and awards
In 2018 CHAMP received the Award for Mathematics Programs That Make a Difference from the American Mathematical Society. In addition to the announcement of the award, the Notices of the American Mathematical Society published an article describing the impact of CHAMP and the community of the Third Ward of Houston, which it served. CHAMP had measurable success in increasing the grit and growth mindset of the participating students, and CHAMP was commended for its successes in bringing more persons from underrepresented backgrounds into the mathematics pipeline. It was also noted that CHAMP had numerous reciprocal benefits for its graduate and undergraduate volunteers, inspiring many of them to pursue graduate studies in mathematics or pursue careers in mathematics education.

Also in 2018, CHAMP received the Phi Beta Kappa Award for Engaging Broader Audiences and both Phi Beta Kappa and the Houston Mayor's office recognized CHAMP as one of four exemplary local organizations that serve as national models for building creative exchanges with diverse audiences in the arts, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences or mathematics.

CHAMP was supported by a Tensor-SUMMA grant from the Mathematical Association of America from Fall 2015–Spring 2018.

Resources
Although the program ended in 2019, CHAMP maintains a legacy website and copies of its lesson materials can be downloaded from its "Schedule Page".

Io uring

io_uring (previously known as aioring) is a Linux kernel system call interface for storage device asynchronous I/O operations addressing performance issues with similar interfaces provided by functions like read/write or aio_read/aio_write etc. for operations on data accessed by file descriptors.

Development is ongoing, worked on primarily by Jens Axboe at Meta.

Interface
It works by creating two circular buffers, called "queue rings", for storage of submission and completion of I/O requests, respectively. For storage devices, these are called the submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ). Keeping these buffers shared between the kernel and application helps to boost the I/O performance by eliminating the need to issue extra and expensive system calls to copy these buffers between the two. According to the io_uring design paper, the SQ buffer is writable only by consumer applications, and the CQ buffer is writable only by the kernel.

eBPF can be combined with io_uring.

History
The Linux kernel has supported asynchronous I/O since version 2.5, but it was seen as difficult to use and inefficient. This older API only supported certain niche use cases, notably it only enables asynchronous operation when using the O_DIRECT flag and while accessing already allocated files. This prevents utilizing the page cache, while also exposing the application to complex O_DIRECT semantics. Linux AIO also does not support sockets, so it cannot be used to multiplex network and disk I/O.

The io_uring kernel interface was adopted in Linux kernel version 5.1 to resolve the deficiencies of Linux AIO. The liburing library provides an API to interact with the kernel interface easily from userspace.

Security
io_uring has been noted for exposing a significant attack surface and structural difficulties integrating it with the Linux security subsystem.

In June 2023, Google's security team reported that 60% of Linux kernel exploits submitted to their bug bounty program in 2022 were exploits of io_uring vulnerabilities. As a result, io_uring was disabled for apps in Android, and disabled entirely in ChromeOS as well as Google servers. Docker also consequently disabled io_uring from their default seccomp profile.

Botany/Pteridology

<< Contents Page | Chapter 11 | Chapter 12 |  Chapter 13 >>

Chapter 12. Pteridology ~ The Ferns
Pteridology is the study of ferns—plants classified in the Division Pterophyta (or Filicophyta). Ferns do not have seeds the way trees and flowering plants do. Rather, they have spores the way mosses do. The haploid spores grow small haploid organisms, which then undergo fertilization and grow the diploid fern plant directly out of the haploid gametophyte, similar to the sporophyte stalk growing out of the moss. The larger part, what we think of as the fern, is the sporophyte. The gametophyte is a small green prothallus that the sporophyte grows out of. Ferns are still tied to an aquatic environment, in that once a spore grows into a prothallus, there must be moisture enough for the egg in the prothallus to be fertilized by swimming, flagellated fern sperm.

Having a large sporophyte allows ferns to produce many more spores than a moss could- recall that each sporophyte on a moss only carried one sporangia. Producing many more propagules increased fern presence and dominance. Besides having a larger sporophyte generation, ferns have many important adaptations that increase their capabilities above the mosses. Ferns have roots, which, unlike moss rhizoids, not only anchor, but take up nutrients. Ferns are vascular plants, with lignified vascular tissues. These allow active water transport. That water transport along with the strength of the ligified cells allow ferns to be much larger than their moss ancestors. At one point, ferns and fern trees were the most advanced plant life, and grew even larger than ferns today do, with great size and variety of ferns. There were no flowering plants in the early cretaceous- the first forests of the dinosaurs were composed of fern trees.

Evolution and ferns
Ferns have a big advantage over the mosses in their vascular tissue. They can grow taller, and can exist in more diverse environments. This is a trend that will continue in evolution, eventually leading to the rise of such large sporophyte generations as the great sequoia trees. But if ferns are so much more fit for survival, why are there still mosses? And if a larger sporophyte generation is more fit, why haven't sequoias become dominant enough to eliminate the ferns? While there are clear benefits to a larger sporophyte generation, in some recurring natural situations, natural selection favors mosses over ferns or ferns over trees. Spores are better at spreading by wind than many seeds are, for instance. So while in the long term, the protection of a seed allows seed plants to be dominant on the planet, in many situations the lightness and transport of a spore is still efficient in spreading ferns.

There are two gena that have showed immense diversity in the division Pteridophyta.Selaginella and Equisetum have been identified to be the only gena that are heterosporous.
