Alvie railway line

The Alvie railway line was a branch line in Victoria, Australia, that left the Warrnambool line just west of Colac and proceeded in a generally north-westerly direction to Alvie. It was 16 kilometres long, and operated from 1923 to 1954.

History
The line was built to allow farmers in the area, particularly onion and potato growers, to transport their produce to Colac and around Victoria. It was constructed between October 1922 and June 1923 and officially opened at Alvie on 21 June 1923.

There were stations and loading facilities at Alvie, Cororooke and Coragulac. For the first few years, the train operated three times a week, with a passenger carriage attached to the goods wagons. However, the passenger carriage was discontinued in December 1930 owing to lack of demand, and passengers from then on had to travel in the guards van.

The Royal train conveying the Duke of Gloucester around Victoria stopped at Alvie and spent the night there on 1 November 1934. To the disappointment of locals, the Duke was ill with catarrh and remained in the train.

The increasing availability of road transport led to a decline in the use of the line after World War II, and it was closed on 17 December 1954. The track was removed in 1957, and the land it occupied has now reverted to private ownership.

Edit requested on August 24, 2016
Please remove as irrelevant "Per the Chicago Tribune, in September 2013, Clifton Gunderson agreed to pay a $35,100,000 settlement on the audit of the City of Dixon. CG had performed the audit for many years but failed to recognize a $54,000,000 fraud.[8]"

Please remove "In 2009, LarsonAllen was named a Best Place to Work in Charlotte,[10] Minneapolis, Philadelphia,[11] Phoenix[12] and St. Louis [13] by local business journals, and the firm’s learning and development team was honored by the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD).[14]" We want to add a separate list of achievements and awards, and these honors will be addressed in that list.

Please change the 3rd and 4th paragraphs under the "CliftonLarsonAllen" heading to include this more complete information "Kris McMasters and Gordy Viere became the first co-CEOs of CliftonLarsonALlen LLP, with Viere also serving as the CEO of CliftonLarsonAllen Holdings. [17] McMasters retired April 1, 2013, leaving Viere as sole CliftonLarsonAllen CEO.[6] Tony Hallada also began serving as CEO of CliftonLarsonAllen Wealth Advisors after the merger. Viere retired in 2015, with Denny Schleper taking over as CEO of CliftonLarsonAllen. Denny Schleper became the CEO of CliftonLarsonAllen in January 2015."

Please add the following locations under "Offices and personnel": Georgia California Kansas New York

Please update the "Awards and Honors" content to the following: •	2004 – Best Places to Work award, BestCompaniesAZ (as Clifton Gunderson) •	2007 – Annual Workplace Excellence Awards Grand Prize, Society for Human Resource Management of Greater Tucson and the Arizona Society for Human Resource Management State Council (as Clifton Gunderson) •	2009 – Best Places to Work award, Charlotte Business Journal (as LarsonAllen) •	2009 – Best Places to Work award, Philadelphia Business Journal (as LarsonAllen) •	2011 – Best Places to Work award, Indiana Chamber of Commerce (as Clifton Gunderson) •	2012 – Best Places to Work award, Crain’s Chicago Business •	2012 – Best Places to Work award, Charlotte Business Journal •	2012 – Best Places to Work award, Indiana Chamber of Commerce •	2013 – When Work Works award (formerly known as the Alfred P.

Please remove as irrelevant, under the "CliftonLarsonAllen" subhead "In April 2015 CliftonLarsonAllen was fined by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation for failing to detect the largest theft of local government funds, by Rita Crundwell stole $50 million.[19]" Again, this is irrelevant and also repeats what was mentioned in the section above it.

'''If it is not an option to completely remove the Dixon, Illinois matter from the page, please allow us to consolidate the information into one section. It is biased and redundant to mention the same thing in three distinct places on the page.'''

 * Hi Rdlev, and thank you for your suggestions. I don't see why the Dixon settlement is "irrelevant"—it may have happened several years ago, but it is the nature of a reference website to collect the entire history of a firm, not just recent events. I have done as you asked and consolidated the two mentions. The new locations have also been added, but I decline to add any additional awards. A summarized sentence is acceptable, but in my opinion listing every award separately is excessive. Hope this helps. Altamel (talk) 16:55, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

 * For the CEO of the 8th largest firm to be listed in the top 100 people of the sector is nothing remarkable. Removed. – Fayenatic  L ondon 07:48, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Proposed addition
In the most recent round of edits, the post editor commented that "For the CEO of the 8th largest firm to be listed in the top 100 people of the sector is nothing remarkable. Removed. – Fayenatic London 07:48, 17 April 2018 (UTC)" However, in the previous iteration of the page, our prior CEOs achieved the same distinction in 2012 and that line was allowed on the page. That line was "In August 2012 CEOs Gordy Viere and Kris McMasters were named among the top 100 most influential people in accounting by Accounting Today." I am confused why that line was allowed on our page before, but now entirely removed as "unremarkable"? If that distinction is still thought to be unremarkable, I'd respectfully request that you add back in the line that was previous there: "In August 2012 CEOs Gordy Viere and Kris McMasters were named among the top 100 most influential people in accounting by Accounting Today." Rdlev (talk) 16:50, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Declined, because that was equally unremarkable. It should not have been included in the article before. If any of these CEOs were in a notable list of top 100 people in business in North America/USA, or in a sector that they advise, that would be worth including; but not featuring in a list restricted to their own sector.
 * As you are apparently only interested in this one article in Wikipedia, I suggest you apply yourself instead to rewriting in original language some of the potentially interesting material about the predecessor firms' history, which was recently removed as WP:copyright violation. – Fayenatic  L ondon 22:00, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

CliftonLarsonAllen now going by CLA

 * Some proposed changes

Information to be added or removed: Our company has transitioned from referring to itself as "CliftonLarsonAllen" to calling ourselves "CLA." Explanation of issue: We have previously referred to ourselves as CliftonLarsonAllen, but our firm has changed that to referring to ourselves as CLA. We do not have an official legal designation (d/b/a) as CLA, and our legal name is still CliftonLarsonALlen LLP. However, we do refer to ourselves as CLA throughout our website, external communications, and social media channels. We would like to change certain references within our Wikipedia article from CliftonLarsonAllen to CLA. The idea behind this request is to minimize confusion and keep things consistent across the internet for all users. The instances we feel would be appropriate for the change: --The CliftonLarsonAllen header under the "History" section. --In the line "CliftonLarsonAllen emphasizes industry-specific services," --In the line "In September 2013, CliftonLarsenAllen agreed to pay" --Under the Offices and personnel section, in the line "CliftonLarsonAllen employs more than 5,400 people"

Portal:Denmark/Selected biography/2006/12

Tycho Brahe, born Tyge Ottesen Brahe (14 December 1546 – 24 October 1601), was a Danish nobleman astronomer as well as an astrologer and alchemist. He was granted an estate on the island of Hven and the funding to build the Uraniborg, an early research institute, where he built large astronomical instruments and took many careful measurements. As an astronomer, Tycho worked to combine what he saw as the geometrical benefits of the Copernican system with the philosophical benefits of the Ptolemaic system into his own model of the universe, the Tychonic system. From 1600 until his death in 1601, he was assisted by Johannes Kepler, who would later use Tycho's astronomical information to develop his own theories of astronomy.

He is credited with the most accurate astronomical observations of his time, and the data was used by his assistant Kepler to derive the laws of planetary motion. No one before Tycho had attempted to make so many redundant observations, and the mathematical tools to take advantage of them had not yet been developed. He did what others before him were unable or unwilling to do — to catalogue the planets and stars with enough accuracy so as to determine whether the Ptolemaic or Copernican system was more valid in describing the heavens.

Sarah Herbert

Sarah Herbert (1824–1846), was an Irish-Nova Scotian author, publisher and educator.

Life
Sarah Herbert was born to Nicholas Michael Herbert and Ann Bates in Ireland in October 1824. Her father emigrated to Canada in 1826. He took his young family with him, headed for Quebec, aboard the Nassau which was wrecked off the coast of Sable Island, Nova Scotia on 13 May 1826. Ann Bates died soon after while her daughter was one of two infants saved that day. Herbert's father married again in Halifax on 3 September 1828. His second wife was Catherine Eagan. They later had a second child, Mary Eliza.

Herbert and her sister were both writers. Herbert submitted poetry and stories regularly to journals such as the Olive Branch, the Morning Herald, Commercial Advertiser, and the Novascotian, the Amaranth and the British North American Wesleyan Methodist Magazine. In September 1843 she won a contest supported by the Olive Branch with her serial Agnes Maitland. By 19 April 1844 Herbert had become the editor and proprietor of the Olive Branch. She published writers such as Harriet Beecher Stowe and Catharine Sedgwick and John McPherson. During the 1840s Herbert also ran a local school and was a Sunday school teacher. She was secretary of the Halifax Female Temperance Society.

However, Herbert had poor health and her writing indicated she knew she was terminally ill. The paper she published collapsed in 1845 and Herbert died of consumption on 21 December 1846.

Evolutionary Biology/Microevolution

< Evolutionary Biology

Changes within a gene pool occurring from generation to generation is called microevolution. Allele frequencies in a population may change due to gene flow, genetic drift, natural selection and mutation. These are referred to as the four fundamental forces of evolution. Note that only mutation can create new genetic variation. The other three forces simply rearrange this variation within and among populations.

The main factors change frequencies of alleles for a single genetic locus and therefore cause genetic variation on a small scale. The following causes of microevolution allow violations of the Hardy Weinberg assumption
 * 1) Genetic Drift
 * 2) Natural Selection
 * 3) Gene Flow
 * 4) Mutation

Genetic Drift
In genetic drift there is a genetic variation among allele frequencies of that population due to random chance. [This is poorly written to the extent of possibly being false. Genetic drift is a binomial sampling error of the gene pool, or -- put more simply -- a change in allele frequencies due to chance.] Therefore a small population would allow for higher chance of sampling error and a change in allele frequencies as a result would lead to a misrepresentation of the parent generations gene pool. The misrepresentation of allele frequencies causing a change in the population is an evolutionary process.

Bottleneck Effect
The bottleneck effect results in a drastic change of allele frequencies of a gene pool causing genetic drift. This dramatic change in allele's occurs as a result of natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods. The portion of the population that survives such a circumstance will then be overrepresented in the gene pool while causing a reduced population size. Genetic variation is reduced due to the smaller population size and over representation of certain allele frequencies. [This is very confused. When a population is greatly reduced in size, it is said to undergo a bottleneck. In smaller populations, the average size of allele frequency changes due to genetic drift is increased.]

Founder Effect
Another dramatic mechanism for genetic drift is due to the a small number of individuals from an originally larger population inhabiting a new isolated geographic region such as an island, lake, or some other new habitat. This is not to be confused with immigration because in immigration a population already inhabits the region when new individuals to the region begin to inhabit it. These new individuals make up the gene pool of their original population and now represent it in the new habitat but in a smaller proportion. This affects the allele frequencies of that population.

Inbred Populations
Inbreeding refers to non-random mating among closely related individuals. [No, inbreeding is a propensity for individuals to breed with those most closely related to them. The way it is worded now confuses inbreeding (a process) with being inbred (a state, which can result from inbreeding or simply being a member of a small population.] These situations tend to increase the chance of the homozygous condition, thus leading to lower fitness and survival rates. [The first clause is poorly written and the second clause is just plain wrong. My PhD is in evolutionary biology and I am a writer by profession. I'd like to help.]

Inbreeding and homozygous conditions lead to higher-possibilities in expressing recessive or negative traits.

Natural Selection
A population can evolve by natural selection where the traits characterizing a population can change over time when its individuals differ in heritable traits that are responsible for differences in survival and reproduction.

Gene Flow
Gene flow refers to changes in allele frequency that result from migration of individuals between populations. In the absence of gene flow, populations can become genetically distinct from one another through genetic drift, or due to differing natural selection pressures in the different populations. Gene flow has the effect of minimizing the genetic differences between populations. Surprisingly little gene flow is needed to keep populations from diverging. Sewall Wright demonstrated that only one migrant per generation is necessary to prevent two populations from diverging. Natural selection can cause microevolution (change in allele frequencies), with fitness-increasing alleles becoming more common in the population. Fitness is a measure of reproductive success (how many offspring an organism leaves in the next generation, relative to others in the group).

Mutation
Mutation is the ultimate source of all new genetic variation. Mutations are random, heritable changes in DNA that can alter gene expression. However, they occur rarely. Most new mutations are expected to be neutral to mildly deleterious, with relatively fewer highly advantageous or highly deleterious mutations. How quickly a mutation spreads through a population depends on its effect of fitness (advantageous vs. deleterious), and also whether it is dominant, co-dominant, or recessive. In general recessive mutations should spread slowly, since they initially will show up in heterozygotes, so the effect of the new mutation is not seen until two of these heterozygotes mate to produce offspring which are homozygous for the mutation (and therefore the effect of the mutation can be seen). In contrast, dominant mutations may spread quickly, since their effects are seen immediately when they are present in heterozygous form. Mutations are the ONLY source of new alleles.

Talk:beyond one's pay grade

This usually has the connotation of "I'd do that if you give me a raise" kindof thing, but I'm not sure how to word that. That aspect may just be too specific? --Connel MacKenzie 20:41, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't know. I just like the expression and the quotes fit with how I've heard it used. I, too, have heard it a sense of "I don't get paid enough to worry about that". Maybe that is the subtext in the Congressional testimony. "You want me to talk about policy? Make me a General." Irony use is hard to capture and wouldn't work so well without the straight meaning.

Nothing in the article indicates Hart is LGBT - does anyone have a reliable source that states anything about his sexuality? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 20:11, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed. It's a strange omission from both Husker Du and this article. Here's a relevant quote from Our Band Could Be Your Life p. 179 (which I've cited in the LGBT list):

 * By the mid-Eighties rumors had begun to circulate that someone in the band was gay. Most thought it must be Norton - after all, he had the handlebar mustache. [...] But both Hart and Mould had male lovers, [...]

I'll try and add this info to the article soon. CloudNine 20:58, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

 * During the collaboration I was trying to find a place to insert that information, but I couldn't find a way to work it in that didn't come off as "Oh, yeah, and he's gay." WesleyDodds 00:49, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Grant discussed his (and Bob's) sexuality at length in an AV club interview. http://www.avclub.com/content/node/22843 <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:56, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Go shove some dildos up your fucking asses and quit worrying about getting LGBT "representation".

Asia
So I was just ripping my copy of Asia, _Aqua_ and I noticed two songs credited to Geoffrey Downes, et. al., ..................... and Grant Hart! Anyone with a foot in both post-punk whateverrock with integrity, and ubermanufactured hair pop-metal (personally I think both these genres are great!), know if it is the same GH? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:53, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I looked this up in the ASCAP and BMI databases. Grant Vernon Hart is represented by BMI. The song "Lay down your arms" is represented by ASCAP, and the songwriter with the surname Hart listed is Gregory Nigel Hart. The other song, "A Far Cry" does not come up in either database.  No other songwriting credits are listed for Gregory Nigel Hart. This leads me to believe that the song is not written by Grant Hart.--Larrybob (talk) 19:25, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

excess discussion of the film
I removed the following:
 * In Tiny Mix Tapes, Paul Bower wrote, "Grant Hart is weird because he kind of gets how important he was for rock & roll and at the same time he doesn’t understand what all the fuss is about. While it’s a cliche to even bring it up, he has a definite Minnesota Nice quality in regard to discussing what he’s done with his artistic career and how much what he’s done might have influenced the world of modern Western music. Parts of Every Everything are frustrating, but they’re frustrating because the film’s subject himself is quintessentially frustrating. Bechard has done that rare thing in documentary filmmaking. He’s fully allowed his subject to dictate the tone of the film. As an audience, we’re better off because of it." While in PopShifter, Chelsea Spear said, "Throughout Every Everything, Bechard paints a very human portrait of Grant Hart, who comes off as self-aware and clear-eyed after a series of setbacks and bad decisions. Ultimately, the film could illustrate another truism: 'living well is the best revenge.'"

It's great stuff, really, but has less to do with Grant Hart than with Every Everything: The Music, Life & Times of Grant Hart. Weeb Dingle (talk) 21:30, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Thomas Ambrose Butler

Thomas Ambrose Butler (March 21, 1837 – 	September 6, 1897) was an Irish American Catholic priest known for his writings on Irish immigration and his promotion of Irish settlements in the state of Kansas, which led to the founding of the Irish colony of Butler City, Kansas.

Biography
Thomas Butler was born on March 21, 1837, in Dublin Ireland to a middle-class family. Growing up, he attended St. Paul's Parish in Dublin. He received secondary education through Schools of the Christian Brothers. Upon hearing of John Henry Newman's new school, Catholic University of Ireland, young Butler was the first to sign his name upon the roster. On October 19, 1854, Butler left the University and enrolled in the humanities class at St. Patrick's College, known at the time as Maynooth College. For the first three years of his priesthood, Butler remained in Ireland where he was appointed to a curacy in Wicklow County at St. Nicholas Parish in Donard.

In 1867, Butler immigrated to America and was assigned to Leavenworth, Kansas. Bishop John Baptiste Miège made Butler associate pastor of the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception. While here, Butler started analyzing the life of an average Irish immigrant in America as well as promoting the state of Kansas as a safe-haven for the Irish to start farms and communities. Although stationed in Leavenworth, Butler spent much of his 8 years traveling the state of Kansas, offering Mass, dispensing sacraments, and assessing the progress of Irish immigrants. From 1872 until about 1874, Butler was placed in charge of the parish in Hoge, Kansas.

After his time in Leavenworth, Butler was assigned pastor of St. James Parish in St. Louis. While there, he interacted with many immigrants living in deplorable conditions and not fully finding root in their new home. In 1877, remembering the fertile lands back in Kansas, Butler won the support of wealthy Irish men to fund efforts to create a colony in Northeast Kansas. Soon, they purchased 12,000 acres of land in Pottawatamie County, Kansas from Union Pacific. On February 1, 1887 Butler organized a final meeting of the Colonization Board; the next day, a group of men headed west on the train to start the community. Eventually 600 people moved to this land and established a central community, Butler City; the center of the community being St. Columbkille's Church.

At the same time Butler was organizing the Irish Colony, he founded St. Cronan parish in St. Louis.

In April 1890, Butler made a visit to the former Butler City (the name of the town had since been changed to Blaine). He was met with a grand celebration with nearly all the surrounding residents attending.

On September 6, 1897, while still pastor of St. Cronan's, Butler died. At Butler's Requiem Mass two days later, P. B. Cahill of Macon, Missouri gave a moving sermon: "...The historian of the diocese, when recounting the actions and deeds of the pioneer priests of St. Louis diocese, can't pass over lightly the latest urn closed in the priests' lot in Calvary Cemetery. And we bespeak a bright page in that history of Rev. Thomas Ambrose Butler, the Soggarth Aroon of St. Cronan's, the well beloved of his fellow priests, the poet priest of Missouri, if not of the West, the gentleman, the scholar, the saint, the dearest friend ever we knew or expect to know on this earth. May his soul rest in peace, Amen!"

Writings
Butler became well known for his writings and poetry, a trait that earned him the nickname "The Poet Priest of the West". He published two major works in his life, both concerning themselves with Irish immigration.

The State of Kansas and Irish Immigration
In 1871, Butler published The State of Kansas and Irish Immigration. In this pamphlet, Butler describes his experience in Kansas as a pastor at the Catholic cathedral in Leavenworth. Butler provides advice to people in Ireland who are thinking of immigrating to the United States. "I am not an advocate of Irish emigration; I would rather a million of times that 'the old race' could hold every inch of 'the old land.' I believe that the pang of separation, and the subsequent sad feeling of exile from friends and country, leave an impress upon the heart that can never be removed. Let those, then, who can live at home in Ireland remain there--unless, indeed, the future prospects of their family are very dark"

The Irish on the Prairies: and Other Poems
While still at the Cathedral Of Leavenworth, Butler also published a book of his own poems and songs titled The Irish on the Prairies: and Other Poems. The works included were about the "Old Land", Immigration, and life on the prairies of Kansas.

Dominic Rains

Dominic Rains (born Amin Nazemzadeh,, March 1, 1982) is an Iranian-American actor, best known for his roles in independent films, including The Taqwacores (2010), A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014), as well as Dr. Crockett Marcel in Chicago Med and as Kasius in the fifth season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Biography
Rains was born in Tehran, Iran, moved to London, England, as a young child and then to the United States, where he was reared in Dallas, Texas. Rains attended The Colony High School (The Colony, TX). He is the younger brother of actor Ethan Rains. Rains began his acting career starring in the well-known TV Movie, Saving Jessica Lynch in 2003. He later appeared in 2006 in the popular TV movie, Flight 93. From July 12 to October 4, 2007, Rains appeared as Dr. Leo Julian in SOAPnet's General Hospital: Night Shift, a 13-episode prime time spin-off of the ABC daytime soap opera General Hospital. The character had first been introduced on General Hospital on July 2, 2007. With Rains unavailable for the series' second season in July 2008, his brother Ethan was cast in the role starting July 22, 2008. Following his role in General Hospital, he has continued to appear in a number of television series including 24, Flash Forward, Burn Notice, NCIS, Cane and Anger Management.

In 2010, he gained recognition for his role in the discussion-sparking independent film The Taqwacores based on a 2004 novel by an American convert to Islam, Michael Muhammad Knight. The New York Times praised his performance as "particularly eye-catching" and NBC reviewed that his role is "reminiscent of Adrien Brody's career-launching turn in Summer of Sam. Rains is just operating at an entirely higher level as the heart and soul of this film." This role also won him an award for best actor at the Festival de Cine Internacional de Ourense international film festival.

Later in 2010, he began filming and starring as the lead role in Exxodus Pictures' supernatural thriller Jinn. The film was released nationwide in April 2014. He played Shawn Walker, a young automotive designer from Detroit who uncovers an ancient secret that threatens to wipe out his entire family.

Rains appeared as Saeed in the Sundance Film Festival favorite horror film A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. Highly praised by many critics after its debut, it was acquired by Kino Lorber for mainstream US distribution and released in late 2014. "This stunning and stinging cinematic marvel left us speechless at its premiere," wrote founder Richard Lorber.

Also in 2014, Rains collaborated on a short film written and directed with his brother Ethan, Still Here with Shohreh Aghdashloo and Alan Rosenberg, that was inspired by real life events of their cousin who was fatefully misdiagnosed with cancer. The film is produced by the Rains Brothers in association with Exxodus Pictures.

In 2019, Rains began starring in the NBC medical drama Chicago Med in the fifth season as Dr. Crockett Marcel, a new trauma surgeon to the hospital. Coming straight from New Orleans as an amazing yet reckless surgeon, and stirring many changes as he becomes accustomed to Chicago and his new setting, his cavalier attitude takes the reins and causes him, and others, to continually get into hot water.

Besides television and film, Rains is active in the Los Angeles theater community and is a member of the Los Angeles-based Elephant Theatre Company. He has appeared on stage with the Elephants in the critically acclaimed productions of Desert Sunrise, Block Nine, Love Sick, Baby Doll, Cycles, and The North Plan.

Euphrates Liberation Brigade

The Euphrates Liberation Brigade (Arabic: Liwa Tahrir al-Furat) is a mostly Arab militia that operates as part of the Syrian Democratic Forces' Manbij Military Council (MMC) in the Syrian civil war.

History
The Euphrates Liberation Brigade was founded in Manbij as part of the MMC in October 2016. Originally 250 men strong, the militia expanded over time, mostly recruiting Arabs from Manbij city and its surroundings. Several of its fighters are former Free Syrian Army (FSA) members who abandoned the rebellion against Bashar al-Assad due to the increasing Islamist radicalism among anti-government forces. Regardless, the Begin–Sadat Center has considered the militia to be still part of the FSA.

Soon after its formation, the Euphrates Liberation Brigade fought the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) west of Manbij during the Battle of al-Bab, in course of which it was allegedly bombed by the Turkish Air Force on 20 November. In April 2017, elements of the Euphrates Liberation Brigade were among a contingent of 200 MMC fighters that were sent to al-Thawrah in order to help the SDF to capture the city from ISIL. Under the command of Ibrahim Semho, the militia also took part in the following battle for ISIL's self-proclaimed capital Raqqa. Other parts of the unit remained at the frontlines west of Manbij, where at least one of their fighters was captured by Turkish-backed rebels in May 2017.

Ideology
The Euphrates Liberation Brigade has been set up from the outset as ethnically inclusivist and pro-democratic. Its stated aim is to help establish a federal, democratic Syria. The militia is also opposed to radical Islamism.

Calculus/Hyperbolic functions

Theory

The independent variable of a hyperbolic function is called a hyperbolic angle. Just as the circular functions sine and cosine can be seen as projections from the unit circle to the axes, so the hyperbolic functions sinh and cosh are projections from a unit hyperbola to the axes.

Definitions
The hyperbolic functions are defined in analogy with the trigonometric functions:
 * $$\sinh(x)=\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{2}$$
 * $$\cosh(x)=\frac{e^x+e^{-x}}{2}$$
 * $$\tanh(x)=\frac{\sinh(x)}{\cosh(x)}=\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}$$

The reciprocal functions csch, sech, coth are defined from these functions:
 * $${\rm csch}(x)=\frac{1}{\sinh(x)}$$
 * $${\rm sech}(x)=\frac{1}{\cosh(x)}$$
 * $$\coth(x)=\frac{1}{\tanh(x)}$$

Some simple identities

 * $$\cosh^2(x)-\sinh^2(x)=1$$
 * $$1-\tanh^2(x)={\rm sech}^2(x)$$
 * $$\sinh(2x)=2\sinh(x)\cosh(x)$$
 * $$\cosh(2x)=\cosh^2(x)+\sinh^2(x)$$

Derivatives of hyperbolic functions
$$\frac{d}{dx}\sinh(x)=\cosh(x)$$

$$\frac{d}{dx}\cosh(x)=\sinh(x)$$

$$\frac{d}{dx}\tanh(x)={\rm sech}^2(x)$$

$$\frac{d}{dx}{\rm csch}(x)=-{\rm csch}(x){\rm coth}(x)$$

$$\frac{d}{dx}{\rm sech}(x)=-{\rm sech}(x)\tanh(x)$$

$$\frac{d}{dx}{\rm coth}(x)=-{\rm csch}^2(x)$$

Principal values of the main hyperbolic functions
There is no problem in defining principal braches for sinh and tanh because they are injective. We choose one of the principal branches for cosh.
 * $$\sinh:\R\to\R$$
 * $$\cosh:[0,\infty]\to[1,\infty]$$
 * $$\tanh:\R\to(-1,1)$$

Inverse hyperbolic functions
With the principal values defined above, the definition of the inverse functions is immediate:
 * $$\rm arsinh:\R\to\R$$
 * $$\rm arcosh:[1,\infty]\to[0,\infty]$$
 * $$\rm artanh:(-1,1)\to\R$$

We can define $$\rm arcsch$$, $$\rm arsech$$ and $$\rm arcoth$$ similarly.

We can also write these inverses using the logarithm function,
 * $${\rm arsinh}(x)=\ln\big(x+\sqrt{x^2+1}\big)$$
 * $${\rm arcosh}(x)=\ln\big(x+\sqrt{x^2-1}\big)$$
 * $${\rm artanh}(x)=\ln\left(\sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}}\right)$$

These identities can simplify some integrals.

Derivatives of inverse hyperbolic functions
$$\frac{d}{dx}{\rm arsinh}(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$$

$$\frac{d}{dx}{\rm arcosh}(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2-1}}\ ,\ x>1$$

$$\frac{d}{dx}{\rm artanh}(x)=\frac{1}{1-x^2}\ ,\ |x|<1$$

$$\frac{d}{dx}{\rm arcsch}(x)=-\frac{1}{|x|\sqrt{1+x^2}}\ ,\ x\ne0$$

$$\frac{d}{dx}{\rm arsech}(x)=-\frac{1}{x\sqrt{1-x^2}}\ ,\ 01$$

Transcendental Functions
Hyperbolic functions are examples of transcendental functions -- they are not algebraic functions. They include trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential functions.

Wilhelm Flügge

Gottfried Wilhelm Flügge (March 18, 1904 – March 19, 1990) was a German engineer, and Professor of Applied Mechanics at Stanford University. He is known as recipient of the 1970 Theodore von Karman Medal in Engineering Mechanics, and the 1970 Worcester Reed Warner Medal.

In 1934 Flügge published his most noted work Statik und Dynamik der Schalen in German, in 1960 translated it into English, entitled Stresses in shells. In those days this work evolved into the international standard work on shell theory.

As Gere et al. (2004) put it, that work "served as the handbook for designers of concrete roofs, pressure vessels for storage and power generation, as well as aircraft, and served as the established point of departure for countless analytical and experimental research investigations. Even after numerous other texts on the subject have appeared, this book continues to occupy the position of primary reference."

Youth, education and early career
Flügge was born in Greiz in the Free State of Thuringia, now Germany in 1904, where his father was a minister in the Protestant church. His younger brother was the theoretical physicist Siegfried Flügge (1912–1997). After completing the gymnasium in Dresden in 1921, he obtained his Dipl.-Ing. in civil engineering in 1925 at the Technische Hochschule Dresden, now Dresden University of Technology.

After his graduation Flügge started his academic career at the Technische Hochschule Dresden as assistant to Kurt Beyer, an specialist on calculations on reinforced concrete. Flügge obtaining his Doctor of Engineering under Beyer in 1927. Next from 1927 to 1930, he worked in the construction company Dyckerhoff & Widmann in Wiesbaden and Leipzig, involved "in the development of new ideas of thin-shell construction in reinforced concrete for factories, train stations and observatories."

In 1930, Flügge obtained an post-doctoral position at the University of Göttingen, where in 1932 he submitted his habilitation thesis. In 1932 he was appointed privatdozent at the University of Göttingen, but he came difficulties after being labelled "politically unreliable" according to the Nazi policies. In 1938 he married Irmgard Lotz, a researcher at the Aerodynamics Research Institute, and they both continued their research and development at the German Aerospace Center (DVL) in Berlin during World War II, until the beginning of 1944.

Further career and acknowledgement
With the ongoing destruction of Berlin the research facilities were moved in the spring of 1944 to Bad Saulgau in southern Germany, after the war in the French zone of occupation. In 1947 Flügge and his wife Irmgard Flügge-Lotz accepted positions at the new created Office National d'Etudes et de Recherches Aérospatiales (ONERA) in Paris.

With assistance of Stephen Timoshenko Flügge and his wife were both offered position at Stanford University in 1949. Flügge became appointed Professor of Applied Mechanics, and served at Stanford University until his retirement.

In 1970, Flügge received both the Theodore von Karman Medal in Engineering Mechanics, and the Worcester Reed Warner Medal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).

Battle of Leontion

The Battle of Leontion in 217 BC was the last battle of the Social War, fought between the Achaean League and the Aetolian League. The battle is mentioned by the historian Polybius and by the Achaean poet Damagetus, who calls it the "Battle at the Achaean Trench".

Prelude
In the first years of the war, the Aetolians had raided the Peloponnese on several occasions, and the Achaeans appeared incapable of defending their territory. For this reason, after the Battle of Caphyae, the Achaean leader Aratus of Sicyon had called on the Hellenic allies for help. In the winter of 219/218 BC, the Macedonian king responded by launching a winter offensive in Arcadia, Elis, and Triphylia. During this campaign, he captured the Aetolian general Euripidas.

Based in allied Elis, Euripidas had been one of the most active Aetolian generals in the war, raiding the Western Peloponnese year after year. After his capture, the Aetolians sent Pyrrhias of Aetolia to command their forces in Elis. However, the Eleans were not satisfied with their new commander. When they heard that Euripidas had been released on parole by the Macedonians, they asked to have him back.

In the summer of 217 BC, Euripidas planned to repeat his incursions of the previous years to demoralize the enemy. He assembled 2000 foot soldiers and 60 horsemen, and when the Achaeans were united in assembly, he invaded the territory next to their capital, Aigion. After collecting enough booty, he retreated into the mountains around Leontion.

Earlier that year, however, the Achaean leader Aratus had reorganized the army, creating regional commands for quicker reaction to any local threat. The Hypostrategos of the Western district was Lycus of Pharae, who moved fast enough to block the further retreat of the Aetolians in the pass between Mount Panachaikon and Mount Erymanthos near Leontion.

Battle
The Achaeans immediately attacked with ferocious courage, killing 400 enemies and taking 200 prisoners, among them some very prominent Eleans and Aetolians listed by Polybius. Moreover, they took the enemies' weapons and the whole booty away.

After this success, Lycus called for the hipparch Demodocus and the Achaean cavalry, and together they entered the territory of Elis, where they killed 200 more and took 80 prisoners.

The Achaean poet Damagetus seems to refer to the same battle in two of his epitaphs, where he talks of a "battle at the Achaean graben", specifying that the purpose of the encounter was to avenge the looting of Patras. The dedication is for one soldier on each side: a hot-blooded Elean called Chaironides and a young Achaean ephebos called Machatas, who both fell in battle.

Aftermath
About the same time of the land battle, the Achaean navarch took 100 prisoners on the Aetolian coast and captured two large plus one smaller enemy vessel with their entire crews, and this string of success finally helped to raise the morale of the Achaeans.

The war ended the same autumn, when the Macedonian king Philip V learned about the Roman defeat by Hannibal at Lake Trasimene and decided that Italy was a worthier battleground.

How They Remember You

"How They Remember You" is a song written by Marc Beeson, Josh Osborne, and Allen Shamblin, and recorded by American country music group Rascal Flatts. It is the lone single from their 2020 extended play of the same name. This was the last single the group released in their career before their breakup in October 2021.

History
Marc Beeson, Josh Osborne, and Allen Shamblin wrote the song. According to group member Jay DeMarcus, the song is "a timeless message that will inspire people, and it's about what kind of mark you leave behind when you leave this world". Shamblin had previously written the band's 2009 single "Why".

On July 30, 2020, Rascal Flatts released a digital extended play which included "How They Remember You", a cover of Kenny Rogers' 1981 hit "Through the Years", and five other cuts. The group also released a lyric video that same month, featuring footage that was submitted by fans.

In May 2021, the song became the group's final top ten and top five hit on Billboard Country Airplay.

Talk:General Relativity/Covariant Differentiation

I've already covered coordinate transformations in the section "Coordinate systems and the comma derivative," so you might wanna take a look at that before you spend time talking about transforming coordinates.

Also, concerning your notation $$\partial_{\mu} f $$, note that I am going to use the notation $$\nabla_{\mu} \mathbf{T} $$ for covariant differention along $$\mathbf{e}_\mu$$. However, I AM going to use your notation $$\partial_{\mu} f$$ for scalar-valued functions such as $$f$$, so this is good as we are consistent at this point.

Finally, your use of latin indices (i, j, & k) could potentially cause confusion later, as I am going to add a section on the vierbein bundle, at which point latin indices will have a VERY different meaning than greek indices (which I have been using elsewhere so far). -Lathem

You are right. I'm being very sloppy here, and I should be using greek indices. I'm trying to remember the derivation of the covariant derivative from memory, and doing a bad job of it. -- Roadrunner

 * Please remove the stub tags. I removed the source here, after reading: we should not use citation templates, - this one caused a fat error message that it wasn't used. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:02, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Gerda Arendt Removed the stub tag. Should I use some other way of citation for DYKs? Also, ALT1 is cool (just that, it might give an impression that it still is near threatened, but it is now vulnerable). (It is found in Papua New Guinea, so you mean to add that? It would be cool too!) Adityavagarwal (talk) 13:52, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you! YOU please word ALT2, - or I can't review it. (I can only rephrase, not introduce different facts.) Citation: you can just give the url, in straight brackets. The reviewer needs to look at the article anyway, for the other details. - I changed stub to start on the talk page, - next tme you can do that. - Hook, I think saying "in 1988" suggests that something changed, no? We want to raise curiosity, not tell it all. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:59, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT2: ...that the New Britain bronzewing is endemic to Papua New Guinea and, in 1988, was rated as a near threatened species?
 * Gerda Arendt Thanks! Looks better? Adityavagarwal (talk) 18:06, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT3: ...that the New Britain bronzewing, endemic to Papua New Guinea, was rated as a near threatened species in 1988?
 * Symbol confirmed.svg 3 choices --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:09, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I don't understand why anybody would be interested in it being "near-threatened" in 1988 when it is considered "vulnerable" now, that is, more at risk of extinction now than it was in 1988. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:02, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * and how about: Adityavagarwal (talk) 07:00, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT4: ...that the New Britain bronzewing is recorded in the Poikili and the Garu Wildlife Protection Areas?
 * That would be interesting to readers who know the wildlife areas. I'd also prefer something the bird does ("live" or whatever) to this passive voice recorded. Cwmhiraeth, I am interested in birds, threatened or not. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:06, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * How about
 * ALT5: ... that the New Britain bronzewing is rated as a "vulnerable species" because the population is in decline and there are fewer than 5000 birds in total? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:40, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

 * That seems an awesome hook too! Adityavagarwal (talk) 15:57, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:22, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

Porky (novel)

Porky, is the fifth novel by the English author Deborah Moggach, first published in 1983 by Jonathan Cape and recommended in OUP's Good Fiction Guide.

Plot introduction
"Porky" is Heather's nickname because her father keeps pigs in a field at their ramshackle bungalow just off the A4 near Heathrow Airport. Heather is eleven when her mother has an extended stay in hospital over the birth of her second child, leaving Heather alone with her father at home. He begins to abuse her sexually.

Heather is already a troubled child, bullied at school with few friends. As the abuse continues, she becomes more troubled and takes to thieving and promiscuity.

Reception

 * An "extraordinarily skilful account of a childhood blasted by what is now acknowledged to be a more widespread offence than was previously recognised: incest", Anita Brookner, London Review of Books.
 * "Deborah Moggach conveys with chilling skill the process by which a fundamentally bright, decent child becomes infested by corruption.", The Spectator
 * Gay Firth writing in The Times warns "readers of despairing disposition or dainty susceptibilities will pass by on the other side, shuddering" but goes on to praise the author for "sustaining a first-person register so level in its tone of quiet desperation, so careful to avoid blatant shock, as to hold back the tidal wave of revulsion and pity which threatens, but never quite engulfs the reader".

User:Vuara/CHAPTER III (MMY Gita)

CHAPTER III

 * 1) Arjuna said: If Thou considerest knowledge superior to action, O Janardana, why dost Thou spur me to this terrible deed, O Keshava?
 * 2) With these apparently opposed statements Thou dost, as it were, bewilder my intelligence. So, having made Thy decision, tell me the one by which I may reach the highest good.
 * 3) The Blessed Lord said: As expounded by Me of old, O blameless one, there are in this world two paths: the Yoga of knowledge for men of contemplation and the Yoga of action for men of action.
 * 4) Not by abstaining from action does a man achieve non-action; nor by mere renunciation does he attain to perfection.
 * 5) No one, indeed, can exist even for an instant without performing action; for everyone is helplessly driven to activity by the gunas born of Nature.
 * 6) He who sits, restraining the organs of action, and dwelling in his mind on the objects of sense, self-deluded, he is said to be a hypocrite.
 * 7) But he who, controlling the senses by the mind, without attachment engages the organs of action in the Yoga of action, he excels, O Arjuna.
 * 8) Do your allotted duty. Action is indeed superior to inaction. Even the survival of your body would not be possible without action.
 * 9) Excepting actions performed for yagya, this world is in bondage to action. For the sake of yagya engage in action free from attachment.
 * 10) In the beginning, having created men along with yagya, the Lord of Creation said: By this yagya shall ye prosper and this shall bring forth the fulfilment of desires.
 * 11) Through yagya you sustain the gods and those gods will sustain you. By sustaining one another, you will attain the highest good.
 * 12) Satisfied by the yagya, the gods will certainly bestow the enjoyments you desire. But he who enjoys their gifts without offering to them is merely a thief.
 * 13) The righteous, who eat the remains of the yagya, are freed from all sins. But the unrighteous, who prepare food for themselves alone, truly, they eat sin.
 * 14) From food creatures come into being; from rain is produced food; from yagya comes forth rain and yagya is born of action.
 * 15) Know action to be born of Brahma (the Veda). Brahma springs from the Imperishable. Therefore the all-pervading Brahma is ever established in yagya.
 * 16) He who in this life does not follow the wheel thus set revolving, whose life is sinful, whose contentment lies in the senses, he lives in vain, O Partha.
 * 17) But the man whose delight is in the Self alone, who is content in the Self, who rejoices only in the Self, for him there is no action that he need do.
 * 18) Neither has he any profit to gain in this life from the actions he has done or from the actions he has not done; nor is there any living creature on whom he need rely for any purpose.
 * 19) Therefore, remaining unattached, always do the action worthy of performance. Engaging in action truly unattached, man attains to the Supreme.
 * 20) By action alone, indeed, Janaka and others gained perfection. Moreover, even looking to the welfare of the world, you should perform action.
 * 21) Whatsoever a great man does, the very same is aIso done by other men. Whatever the standard he sets, the world follows it.
 * 22) ln the three worlds there is no action which I need do, O Partha; nor is there for Me anything worth achieving unattained; even so I am engaged in action.
 * 23) What if I did not continue unwearyingly in activity, O Partha? Men in every way follow My example.
 * 24) If I did not engage in action, these worlds would perish and I would be the cause of confusion and of the destruction of these people.
 * 25) As the unwise act out of their attachment to action, O Bharata, so should the wise act, but without any attachment, desiring the welfare of the world.
 * 26) Let not the wise man create a division in the minds of the ignorant, who are attached to action. Established in Being, he should direct them to perform all actions, duly engaging in them himself.
 * 27) Actions are in every case performed by the gunas of Nature. He whose mind is deluded by the sense of 'I' holds 'l am the doer'.
 * 28) But he who knows the truth about the divisions of the gunas and their actions, O mighty-armed, knowing that it is the gunas which act upon the gunas, remains unattached.
 * 29) Those deluded by the gunas of Nature are attached to the actions of the gunas. Let not him who knows the whole disturb the ignorant who know only the part.
 * 30) Surrendering all actions to Me by maintaining your consciousness in the Self, freed from longing and the sense of 'mine', fight, delivered from the fever (of delusion).
 * 31) Those men who are possessed of faith, who do not find fault and always follow this teaching of Mine, they too are liberated from action.
 * 32) But those who find fault and do not follow My teaching: know them to be deluded about all knowledge, doomed and senseless.
 * 33) Creatures follow their own nature. Even the enlightened man acts according to his own nature. What can restraint accomplish?
 * 34) The attachment and aversion of each sense are located in the object of that sense; let no man come under their sway, for both indeed are enemies besetting his path.
 * 35) Because one can perform it, one's own dharma (though) lesser in merit, is better than the dharma of another. Better is death in one's own dharma: the dharma of another brings danger.
 * 36) Arjuna said: What is it that impels a man to commit sin, even involuntarily, as if driven by force, O Varshneya?
 * 37) The Blessed Lord said: It is desire, it is anger, born of rajo-guna, all-consuming and most evil. Know this to be the enemy here on earth.
 * 38) As fire is covered by smoke, as a mirror by dust, as an embryo is covered by the amnion, so is This covered by that.
 * 39) Wisdom is veiled by this insatiable flame of desire which is the constant enemy of the wise, O son of Kunti.
 * 40) The senses, the mind and the intellect are said to be its seat. Overshadowing wisdom by means of these, it deludes the dweller in the body.
 * 41) Therefore, having first organized the senses, O best of Bharatas, shake off this evil, the destroyer of knowledge and realization.
 * 42) The senses, they say, are subtle; more subtle than the senses is mind; yet finer than mind is intellect; that which is beyond even the intellect is he.
 * 43) Thus, having known him who is beyond the intellect, having stilled the self by the Self, O mighty-armed, slay the enemy in the form of desire, difficult to subdue.
