Talk:David LaChapelle

Question
Why is there an "Investigation of potential copyright issue" sign of this page? What exactly is being investigated?GypsyMonster123 (talk) 18:38, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
 * If you read the template it suggests that the content was copied from here Theroadislong (talk) 19:23, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

observations
This article lacks of a lot.

1. his (short-)movies/TV-movies Clowns in the Hood, Krumped and Rize aren't mentioned - or are mentioned in an unsatisfying manner;

2. the article should feature (at least one) selected photograph(s) by him; and

3. there should be a picture of LaChapelle added to the article. LIllIi 23:42, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Be Bold. Crumbsucker 01:04, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Oddity: it says he directed Rihanna's Disturbia when other sources (i.e the page for disturbia say it was directed by Anthony Mandler?

4. For one of the world's most famous/prolific/inovative photographer's living today this wikipedia entry is pretty awful.

date of birth?
This article lists it as 1963. IMDB says it's 1963. His own site says 1969. I'd guess this article took it from the IMDB, which is more likely to be incorrect. Unless he's deliberately lying about his age on his own site, which is always possible. I'm changing it to 1969 unless someone can give a more definitive source.--duncan 21:22, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Sounds reasonable to me. SteveHopson 23:18, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I suspect the information on his own site is wrong. Whether it is wrong by error or intentionally wrong doesn't matter. Since he seems to have caught up on his high school diploma at the North Carolina School of the Arts at the age of 18 in 1981 this would rather indicate 1981-18=1963 as his date of birth (Sources: general timeline and alumni listing of ncsa; there are several more pages stating this information)
 * Taking that the other way, 1981 - 1969 = 12 as the age he graduated the NCSA, which doesn't seem right! --duncan 21:31, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

 * That's so weired, since even his Myspace, which was created like a month ago, says he's 37 years old, making him born in 1969. I wonder why he would really want to seem 3 years younger. And holler, first post in a talk page!! : ))) Let's see if I can sign right... LMC vs U2 08:14, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Folks, I went to Junior High school with him, and he was the same age I was, and I was born in 1963!! Yes, he's lying about being born in 1969...why would that surprise anyone that someone in the arts industry would shave years off their age? For more evidence, remember that he worked as a busboy at Studio 54, which CLOSED in 1986, which would have made him 17 at the VERY oldest, but he says he worked there BEFORE finishing high school in 1981, which would have made him TWELVE when he worked there. Change his DOB back to 1963, please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmpintj (talk • contribs) 00:42, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
At least one contributor to this article appears to have a close personal or professional connection to the topic, and thus to have a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., here). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting request edit (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by clicking the link on the lowest yellow notice above. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted.

Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:06, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
 * At least one editor with an apparent conflict of interest has made direct (and promotional) edits to the article since I posted this. It seems reasonable to ask:, what exactly is your connection to LaChapelle? Whatever the reply, I suggest that patently COI edits to the article be from now on immediately reverted without regard to their merit or accuracy. Perhaps, with a concerted joint effort by non-connected editors, we could then turn this into something resembling an encyclopaedic article? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:17, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

Missing exhibitions, or unexplained choice of the listed ones
The current version of the page (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_LaChapelle&oldid=1145261442) lists only 9 exhibitions, while his personal site lists almost a hundred (https://www.davidlachapelle.com/davidlachapelle-exhibition).

Should the missing ones be added, or a rationale for picking specific ones be explained (in the page itself), or the section be deleted entirely..?

The page as it stands make it seem that a new exhibition is a lot more remarkable than it really is.. Gabr2304 (talk) 14:28, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

This test was received by e-mail. It is presented intact. Source/author unknown.

This is a real test given by the Human Relations Dept. at many of the major corporations today. It helps them get a better insight concerning their employees and prospective employees. It's only 10 simple questions, so... Grab a pencil and paper, keeping track of your letter answers. Make sure to change the subject of the e-mail to read YOUR total. When you are finished, forward this to everyone you know, and also send it to the person who sent this to you.

Make sure to put YOUR score in the subject box. Ready?? Begin...

 * type=""}

{10. You often dream that you are +falling -fighting or struggling -searching for something or somebody -flying or floating -you usually have dreamless sleep -your dreams are always pleasant
 * type=""}.

POINTS:

1.  (a) = 2  (b) = 4  (c) =  6. 2.  (a) = 6  (b) = 4  (c) =  7  (d) =  2  (e) =  1. 3.  (a) = 4  (b) = 2  (c) =  5  (d) =  7  (e) =  6. 4.  (a) = 4  (b) = 6  (c) =  2  (d) =  1. 5.  (a) = 6  (b) = 4  (c) =  3  (d) =  5  (e) =  2. 6.  (a) = 6  (b) = 4  (c) =  2. 7.  (a) = 6  (b) = 2   (c) =  4. 8.  (a) = 6  (b) = 7  (c) =  5  (d) =  4  (e) = 3  (f) = 2  (g) = 1. 9.  (a) = 7  (b) = 6  (c) =  4  (d) =  2  (e) = 1. 10. (a) = 4  (b) = 2  (c) =  3  (d) =  5  (e) = 6  (f) = 1.

Now add up the total number of points.

OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care". You're seen as vain, self-centered. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as a highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest... Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expects the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything. They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

Mahsud

The Mahsud or Maseed is a Karlani Pashtun tribe inhabiting mostly the South Waziristan Agency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.

The Maseeds usually pronounce their name Māsīd. They are divided into three great clans or subtribes, namely Alizai, Bahlolzai, and Shamankhel. Maseeds usually call these Drei Māsīd, meaning the "Three Maseeds". Each tribe has his own Khan.

A minor number of Maseed are settled in the Logar Province of Afghanistan, especially in Charkh District, Baraki barak and Muhammad Agha, but also in Wardak, Ghazni and Kunduz Provinces. The Maseeds also inhabit the center and north of South Waziristan valley, surrounded on three sides by the Darweshkhel Wazirs, and being shut off by the Bettanis Pashtun tribe on the east from the Derajat and Bannu districts. Two Pashtun tribes, the Ahmadzai Wazirs and the Maseeds (Mahsuds), inhabit and dominate South Waziristan. Within the heart of Maseed territory in South Waziristan lies the influential Ormur (Burki) tribe's stronghold of Kaniguram. The Ormurs are considered by other tribes of South Waziristan to be close brethren of the Maseeds due to marital and other ties and the fact that the Ormurs have lived in and controlled Kaniguram for over a thousand years. There are also some Maseeds living in the UAE, Germany and the United Kingdom.

History
The Maseeds originally lived in the centre of Waziristan  area of FATA. In the later 14th century, they migrated eastwards, and fell into dispute with the Bannuchi and Khattak tribes settled in the Shawal area. The Maseeds and the Wazirs succeeded in defeating the Khattaks and pushed them northeastwards towards Bannu and Kohat. Eventually, the Mahsuds settled at the center of Waziristan, in the Makeen, Kaniguram and Lada area.

During the British colonial period, the Maseeds were invaded by the British Empire, in 1925's Pink's War, in 1860, 1881, 1894–95, 1900–01 and in The Waziristan Campaign which ensued after the Afghan War of Independence In the words of Sir Olaf Caroe, who acted as the former governor of the British Indian Frontier, "The Maseed tribe are a people who can never even think of submitting to a foreign power." From 1860 to 1937, the English forces repeatedly attacked Maseed positions, but never got a foothold in the area.

Primary locations
The Maseed tribe inhabits a large portion of the center of Waziristan, which is drained by the Tank Zam and Shahur Rivers. The Maseed territory is a rough triangle between Jandola, the hills north of Razmak, and from Shuidar to Janimela, north of Wana. No portion of their territory touches the "settled" districts, and the tribe is surrounded on the north and west by the Wazirs, on the east by the Bhittanis, and on the south by the Wazirs and Shranis.

With the exception of a few Shabi Khel in the Bannu District, some land near Gumal in the Tank Tehsil, and the colonies at Chark and elsewhere in the Logar Valley in Afghanistan, none of the Maseed own land outside of South Waziristan Agency. To escape the severe cold in the higher hills during the winter, a large number move down to the lower valleys but always keep within the Maseed territorial limits. Many of these people live in caves or tents. "South Waziristan is mountainous with several high peaks; Pirghal, for example, being 11,600 feet. The Gomal is the main river, in addition to which there are many hill torrents, which remain dry for most of the year." The mountains and valleys geographically isolate the Maseed from large scale movements of invaders and provide opportunities to conduct effective ambushes on enemies. The cave villages along the Shahur River near Barwand and along the Split Toi provide excellent hiding places and defensive positions.

Culture
It is a tribal society having its own subculture. Nearly all Mehsud follow Islamic traditions, celebrate the same holidays, dress the same, consume the same food, listen to the same music and are multi-lingual to a certain extent. In the southern and eastern region, Mehsuds live in accordance with the Pashtun culture and are usually bilingual in maseedwola  also known as maseedo.

Migratory patterns
Many Maseed inhabit in the lower valleys during the winter. They return to family compounds at higher elevations during the summer.

Recent history
On many occasions the Afghan throne was saved with the help of the Maseed (like general Ramzan Khan Maseed Shamankhel, Shabaram Khan Machikhel, Bakhan Maseed, Mosa Khan Maseed, Miajee Maseed, Jagar Maseed etc.), Burki/Baraki, and Wazirs from Waziristan, Pakistan. Of those who fought during this time, most came back to their homeland, but those who stayed were given high ranks of office, such as Faiz Muhammad Maseed, who was appointed as an interior minister during the Reign of Daud Khan in the 1970s. Today a minority of Maseeds are still in Logar Province, with the title of Waziri, but by caste, they are Maseeds. The majority of these are with a sub-caste of Malik Denai, Dramankel, Faridi, Shamirai شمیرائی, Shabi khel, etc. When the Soviet–Afghan War started, some of these families came back to Waziristan but could not stay there, so they moved to cities like Peshawar and Karachi. Some of them stayed in Waziristan and D.I. Khan. The Maseed helped in defeating the British invading troops and saved Afghanistan, they contributed a lot because Afghanistan was nearly in the hands of British. John Ayde described the Maseeds:

They are poor but brave… and although turbulent and difficult to deal with, still have a great love of their country and cherish their independence, possessing qualities that we admire ourselves, and which deserve consideration and respect.

Maseed are very good marksmen and have the reputation of trustworthiness. Maseed is the most independent of all the tribes. Even their own maliks have a very limited control over them. However, Maseed have been increasingly integrated within Pakistani society since independence.

Sir Olaf Caroe in his book published just after partition of the British India about Mahsuds They hold aloof, and are continually engaged in aggressive warfare against their Wazir cousins, at whose expense they have encroached to acquire new lands. And to those who know both tribes, they present a different appearance. Pass along a road which is being used by babirs, or caravans, of these tribes- men, and it is not so hard to distinguish one from the other, not by his dress, for that is much the same, but by something indefinable in his air and carriage. The nearest I can get to it is to liken the Mahsud to a wolf, the Wazir to a panther. Both are splendid creatures; the panther is slier, sleeker and has more grace, the wolf-pack is more purposeful, more united and more dangerous.

The Saintly Poet of the East (Dr. Allama Iqbal) has also prayed for the dominant tribes of Waziristan Sher Shah Suri has so well said:

The distinction of tribes is the cause of all ruin.

Waziris and Mahsuds are names dearest to heart;

Alas! They feel no pride in being Afghans.

The Muslims of the mountains are divided into thousand tribes,

And every tribe has its own idol.

The same sanctuary is filled with Lat and Manat;

May God grant you power to break them all.

Zarb-e-Kaleem (Iqbal)

In 1850, Lewat's tribesmen the Great Baromi's (Shabi Khel) defeated 3,000 British troops with only 300 fighters, using guerrilla tactics by attacking the British in the Valley of Bobar (Waziristan) from all sides with outdated rifles and swords. This attack demoralized the British and made them fearful of the Maseeds. Survivors of this attack reported that the sight of the Maseed tribesmen charging at them (with loud roars and wearing long hair and beards like Lions) affected them mentally.

In 1860, three thousand Maseed tribesmen attacked the British regiment base in Tank (present South Waziristan). The British struggled to defeat them.

In 1897, Mujahed tribesmen again stood up against the British all the way from Quetta kakar, and the British experienced difficulty when engaging them. It was during this time that the name of Mulla Powinda [Jagar Draman Khil][Miajee] [Laly Malik Denai] [Mulla ShaSaleem kaka] emerged. Powindah comes from the Pashto language, meaning "nomad".

Day after day, Mulla Powinda grew more popular and famous. His right hand mulla Shasaleem Kaka Machikhel was popular among Wazirs and Maseed tribe. He emerged as a legendary figure among the people of the region and beyond. There was even a time the British considered him to be the sole leader of the Waziristan country. His followers would sporadically kill individual British officers. However, the British were not able to capture the attackers, who would return to their mountain hideouts. All attempts to stop these attacks were unsuccessful.

In 1907, the Wazir and Maseed tribesmen were blocked from entry into any government-controlled territory. Economic sanctions were imposed, blocking even basic amenities, such as food and medicine. The British commander of that time blockaded the areas of Makeen and Kaniguram. Various areas were searched to arrest Mulla Powinda without success. The British thought that the tribesmen were receiving weapons by sea, from the coast of Balochistan and responded by creating check posts, but no weapons were confiscated.

Mulla Powindah died in 1913. It could be said that he was the crownless emperor of one of the most fearsome of the Pashtun Tribes, the Maseeds. Upon his death, his son Shah Fazal Din was given leadership and his son-in-law, Mulla Abdul Hakeem Kakar, was appointed his adviser. They have good relations with Amir Abdul Rahman Khan, the Amir of Afghanistan.

When World War I started in 1915, the British were concerned that they would be engaged in battle on more than one front. This was a threat to their safety and economy, so they decided to close those fronts of lesser significance. They abandoned their ‘Forward Policy’ for the time being and sent a message of friendship and peace to the tribes. The tribes did not trust the British and rejected these peace proposals. Instead, the Maseed assembled a militia to attack the British.

By this time, the British had established an air force in the subcontinent, which was used to harass the tribesmen, and as a result the tribe's hatred of the British increased. As a result of their suffering, they were bent upon taking revenge, and hence their morale increased. A series of attacks were made by the Maseeds, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy. The attack on the Marhatta Regiment resulted in the deaths of hundreds of sepoys and five British Officers. In the attack on the Punjab Regiment, the Maseed warriors slaughtered everyone. The aerial bombardments had inflicted significant losses on the tribesmen, but they were content that they were also doing well and had killed around 250 of the enemy forces.

After the end of World War I, the British returned to Waziristan. This time, they built roads and forts throughout the land. The sophistication and constant patrols of the British Air Force helped create a secure atmosphere for their ground troops. With this sense of security, the British Army constructed a road from Jandola to Ladha. At Razmak, they constructed a cantonment for their army officers and soldiers.

By 1922–23, all the British forces had moved from Wana to Razmak. They had constructed an airport there and instead of flying all the way from India, their aircraft would fly from Razmak Airport and bomb the countryside. Because of this, the countryside of Makeen was totally devastated. The Maseed deemed it appropriate at this time to agree to a ceasefire because this new British tactic was inflicting widespread losses on their side. The ceasefire, they imagined, would also enable them to devise a strategy for countering the latest British advances.

In 1925, the Royal Air Force successfully put down a Maseed rebellion by strafing the tribes' mountain strongholds. The action, which came to be known as Pink's War led to the tribal leaders seeking peace terms.

In 1927 Ghazi Ramadan Khan Mahsud attacked Wana camp with a huge lashkar (tribal militia). The result was a big loss for the British army. In 1928 Ghazi Ramadan Khan Mahsud re-assembled his lashkar again for his next attack, on Sararogha Fort. This time he attacked with a powerful force, killed all of the defending soldiers (numbering 300) and took hold of the Fort.

Lashkar invasion of Kashmir
Immediately after Pakistan came into existence, Maseeds raised a tribal militia under Gaideen Khan Abdullai which entered Kashmir to help the newly created state Pakistan to capture Kashmir. They quickly reached Baramulla town, instead of pressing on to the capital, Srinagar, to seize Kashmir completely.

A large number of tribals from Pakistan attacked Kashmir under the code name "Operation Gulmarg" to seize Kashmir. The invading tribals started moving along Rawalpindi-Murree-Muzaffarabad-Baramulla Road on 22 October 1947 with Muzaffarabad fell on 24 October 1947. They reached and captured Baramulla on 25 October 1947.

Culture
Pir Roshan is the first person who founded the Pashto alphabet. He was born in Kanygram of Waziristan. The Roshani Ghorzang was one of the great revolutions in the land of Pshtonkhwa. Mula Shasleem kaka, Mula Pawenda Maseed and Haji Mirza Ali Khan Fight several years for the unity of both side Pashtons.

Jarga
Maseed have a Maseed Jarga for large problems. The Jarga is a tribal assembly of elders which takes decisions by consensus, particularly among the Pashtun people.

Music and Attan
Attan, is the famous dance of Maseed tribe. Dhol is also widely used in Waziristan.

Mehsud Sub-tribes
Like other Pashtun tribes, the Mehsud tribe also has its own individual subtribes and clans:
 * Shaman Khel
 * manzai
 * Balizai

These subtribes are then divided into more clans amongst themselves.

 * "since the airline had started flying jets five years earlier." -> "since their introduction by the airline five years earlier"? Or similar?  Just trying to avoid the quick repeat of "jet".
 * ''Changed to "It was the first fatal accident on a Pan Am jet aircraft since the company had taken its first delivery of the type five years earlier." It still reads wonky but other wordings imply that Pan Am was the company that had first flown jet aircraft.  It didn't.
 * "The exact way that the ..." reads strangely to me, but I guess it's a pref/ENGVAR thing, I would see it as "The precise way in which the..."
 * ''I've been staring at that one for a while and think it might be an ENGVAR thing. I could reword it as "the precise mechanism of the ignition of the fumes..." etc., but that comes over as overly pretentious to me.

Schilling joined the United States Army in September 1939 as an aviation cadet and received his commission in the Air Corps upon completion of flight training in May 1940. The following summer he became one of the original members of the 56th Fighter Group.

World War II
Schilling arrived with the group in England in January 1943 as commander of the 62nd Fighter Squadron and began combat missions in April flying the P-47 Thunderbolt, recording his first kill on October 2, 1943. Schilling was promoted to group executive officer in August 1943 and to group commander on August 12, 1944, commanding the 56th Fighter Group until January 27, 1945. He was promoted to full colonel on October 1, 1944, at the age of 25. "Hairless Joe", coded LM-S was his personal P-47 from July 1944 up until his last documented combat mission on Jan 5th 1945.

In his time in Britain, he became the sixth-leading ace of the 8th Air Force, scoring 22½ kills against Luftwaffe aircraft. On December 23, 1944, he downed five German fighters to become one of the 38 Army Air Force "Ace-in-a-Day" pilots. Schilling flew 132 combat missions in two combat tours with the 56th. He also destroyed 10.5 enemy aircraft on ground, while strafing enemy airfields.

USAF career
After the war, he again commanded the 56th Fighter Group and pioneered long-distance jet operations in the P-80 Shooting Star. In early 1948 Schilling conceived an operation called Fox Able (phonetic for "Fighter Atlantic") in which jet aircraft, then ferried to Europe by ship, could be flown across the Atlantic via Iceland and Scotland in 900-mile legs and sold it to Air Force Chief of Staff, General Carl A. Spaatz.

In the summer of 1948 he made Fox Able a reality and took the 56th FG to Germany in a show-of-force response to the Berlin Blockade. Just prior to this, de Havilland Vampires of No. LIV Squadron RAF had made the first jet crossing, flying from the UK to North America.

In 1950, he flew from RAF Manston in the United Kingdom to Maine in the United States, in the first nonstop trans-Atlantic flight by a jet fighter. Using probe-and-drogue flight refuelling, Schilling, flying an F-84E Thunderjet and another F-84E flown by Col. William Ritchie, were refuelled by first a Flight Refuelling Ltd (FRL) Lancaster tanker near Prestwick, Scotland, followed by a refuelling from another FRL tanker, this time a Lincoln near Iceland. In a third and final tanker rendezvous, Ritchie's nose probe, which had been damaged in the refuelling with the Lincoln, was unable to transfer fuel from the final tanker, a USAF KB-29 offshore from Labrador, forcing him to eject over Labrador when he ran out of fuel. Ritchie was safely picked up shortly afterwards. Schilling's refuelling went as-intended and he landed at an airbase at Limestone, Maine, after a flight of ten hours and eight minutes. For this flight, Schilling received the Harmon Trophy.

In 1952, he took command of the 31st Fighter Escort Wing at Turner Air Force Base, Georgia, flying F-84 Thunderjets, and led a non-stop flight across the Pacific Ocean to Japan in Fox Peter One.

Death
On August 14, 1956, while serving as Inspector General in the Strategic Air Command's Seventh Air Division, Schilling died in a car accident on a narrow, two-lane country road in England between RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall — Royal Air Force stations used by the U.S. Air Force. The day before his death, he had flown his last flight in a B-47. At the time of his death he was on Temporary Duty (TDY) from the HQ of 7th Air Division at South Ruislip to RAF Lakenheath.

He was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery.

On March 15, 1957, Smoky Hill Air Force Base in Salina, Kansas was renamed Schilling Air Force Base in his honor. The Air Force Association's Award for Outstanding Flight, which Schilling won in 1952, was named for him after his death.

 * Date of Action: April 9, 1944

 * Citation:

The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Lieutenant Colonel (Air Corps) David Carl Schilling, United States Army Air Forces, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving as Pilot of a P-47 Fighter Airplane in the 56th Fighter Group, Eighth Air Force, in aerial combat against enemy forces on 9 April 1944, in the European Theater of Operations. On this date Colonel Schilling, while leading a Group of fighter airplanes on a bomber escort mission over enemy territory, became separated from his entire Group, with the exception of one wing man. Sighting from 30 to 35 enemy fighters, Colonel Schilling, although thoroughly conscious of the terrific odds confronting him, attacked the enemy flight and destroyed one fighter, pieces of which damaged his own airplane. Despite the damage to his airplane he continued to attack and damaged another enemy fighter. In the course of further attacks against the main flight of the enemy Colonel Schilling's airplane blew a cylinder head under the strain. Although smoke and oil obscured his vision, and faced with imminent engine failure, with his fuel and ammunition dangerously low, so great was his determination to destroy the enemy that he single-handedly attacked two enemy fighters, one of which he destroyed. The outstanding heroism and aggressiveness displayed by Colonel Schilling upon this occasion reflect great credit upon himself and the Armed Forces of the United States.

Astika (sage)

Astika (आस्तिक) is a rishi (sage) featured in Hinduism. He is the son of Jaratkaru by the serpent goddess, Manasa.

Birth
According to the Devi Bhagavata Purana, a sage named Jaratkaru was wandering a forest when he came across his Pitrs (spirits of his forefathers), hanging over a precipice of blades of grass. His forefathers explained to him that they suffered due to the fact that Jaratkaru had no children, and was the last of his line. In a bid to save his Pitrs from their ordeal, Jaratkaru decided to marry a woman who shared his name. He visited the naga king Vasuki, and married his sister, Manasa, one of whose names was Jaratkaru. At the site of Pushkara, one evening, Jaratkaru slept upon the lap of his wife, and had not performed his prayers at dusk. Facing the dilemma of having to disturb the sleep of her husband so that he may perform his duty, she chose to rouse him. Furious, Jaratkaru decided to leave his wife for this act. When Manasa begged for his forgiveness, Jaratkaru informed her that she was pregnant with his child, and proclaimed that he would be brilliant and devoted. Thus, he was named Astika. Astika completed his education under Sage Chyavana, the son of Bhrigu. According to the Devi Bhagavata Purana, since his mother was a disciple of Shiva, Astika also became a disciple of the deity.

Snake sacrifice
According to the Mahabharata, Astika saved the life of the serpent Takshaka. This occurred when the king Janamejaya organised a snake sacrifice known as the Sarpa Satra, where he made great sacrifices of serpents, to avenge for the death of his father Parikshit, due to snakebite of Takshaka. Ultimately, he induced and prevailed upon the king to end his persecution of the serpent race. His father left him before his birth. In popular tradition, the day these serpents were saved is regarded to be the Shukla Paksha Panchami in the month of Shravana, and is celebrated as the festival of Naga Panchami.

Murphy Branch

The Murphy Branch is a branch line operated by the Western North Carolina Railroad, later the Richmond and Danville, Southern Railway, the Norfolk Southern Railway (NS) and today the Blue Ridge Southern Railroad. The branch runs between Asheville, North Carolina in the east and Murphy in the west.

I-40 from Asheville to Canton and US Route 74, also known as the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway, from Canton to Murphy, roughly parallel the railway. Grades on the Murphy Branch exceed 4.0% in two places.

History
It was constructed with convict lease labor between 1880 and 1891 under the charter of the Western North Carolina Railroad. The Murphy Branch was important to the development of southwestern North Carolina in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It opened up the isolated and rural mountains west of Asheville to the outside world, allowing easy travel and improved commerce. These tracks stimulated the development of Western North Carolina.

In the 1980s, Norfolk Southern decided to close the Murphy Branch west of Sylva because of declining freight traffic. The NCDOT purchased the branch west of Dillsboro in 1988, the first purchase under NCDOT's program to preserve rail corridors. It granted trackage rights between Dillsboro and Andrews to the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad (GSMR), a tourist excursion railroad that also provides freight service. In 1996, the NCDOT sold the Dillsboro-Andrews portion of the Murphy Branch to the GSMR.

In April 2014, Norfolk Southern announced that it would be selling the Asheville-Dillsboro leg of the Murphy Branch to Watco, a short-line railroad headquartered in Pittsburg, Kansas. A new North Carolina Limited Liability Company was established and named the Blue Ridge Southern Railroad to manage this. The deal closed and operations began on 26 July 2014.

The GSMR continues to own the Dillsboro to Andrews leg, and operates all but the westernmost portion between Hewitt and Andrews. The NCDOT continues to own the tracks between Andrews and Murphy; this section has been out of service continuously since 1985. The next year CSX abandoned and removed its connecting line in 1986 from Murphy southwestward into Georgia, formerly a line of the Louisville and Nashville.

Commodities shipped/received
The Murphy Branch still plays a vital role in the industrial economy of western North Carolina. The rail line serves Jackson Paper Manufacturing Company in Sylva and 70 percent of its business came from the Pactiv Evergreen paper mill in Canton which closed in 2023, forcing the railroad to make cutbacks. Chemicals used in the making of epsom salt are delivered to Premier Magnesia (formerly Giles Chemical) in Waynesville, and the paper mill's closure led to the largest epsom salt supplier in the Americas getting help from Haywood County to deal with the rail service cutbacks and prevent the company from leaving after 70 years. There are several small concrete mixing facilities that receive sand. Woodchips are loaded at T&S Hardwoods in Addie, about 4 miles east of Sylva. Liquefied petroleum gas is delivered to a transfer facility a few miles outside of Sylva in the community of Beta.

Battle of Cinghinarele Island

The Battle of Cinghinarele Island was a military engagement between Central Powers forces (Germany and Austria-Hungary) on one side and Romanian forces on the other side during the Romanian Campaign of World War I. It took place in early October 1916. In late September 1916, Romanian forces occupied the island, setting up a garrison comprising an infantry company and six guns in two batteries. On 2 October, in support of the Flămânda Offensive, the Romanian garrison on the island attacked passing Austro-Hungarian warships, inflicting some damage and delaying the naval group long enough to allow a Romanian bridge over the Danube to be repaired. However, after an artillery bombardment which started on 7 October, the island was taken by the Central Powers on the 8th, the Romanian garrison being captured.

Background
Following the defeat of the Romanian 3rd Army at Turtucaia in early September 1916, the commanding general of this army was replaced with Alexandru Averescu on 7 September, whom historian John Buchan considered "the ablest of Rumanian generals". At the end of September, Romanian forces occupied the island of Cinghinarele. Averescu had deployed on the island an infantry company along with two artillery batteries of three guns each. Cinghinarele is a low-lying island in the Danube, a third of a mile wide and two and a half miles long. It is located at the eastern opening of the Belene Channel. Aside from the garrison, the Romanians had also laid mines near the island.

Battle
On 2 October, the Romanian batteries on the island opened fire at bypassing warships belonging to the Austro-Hungarian Navy's Groups I and IV of the Danube Flotilla. The Romanian guns holed Group I's coal barge, forcing the naval formation to run for cover in order to make repairs. Group IV decided not to risk shell fire hitting its fuel barge, and thus waited until nightfall before moving on. The two naval groups finally arrived a Ryahovo on the morning of 3 October. However, there they discovered that the Romanians had repaired damage to the bridge and were retreating across it. On 7 October, Group II of Austro-Hungarian monitors (Inn and Sava), along with a German artillery battery of 100 mm guns, began a bombardment of the Cinghinarele. On the 8th, a combined force of German infantry and Austro-Hungarian combat engineers overran the island, capturing the six guns along with 130 prisoners. The flotilla's minesweeping detachment subsequently cleared the channel.

Aftermath
Following their conquest of the island, the Central Powers had placed their own pair of artillery batteries on Cinghinarele by the middle of November.

What is in the module is a brainstorm. Feel free to edit, expand, re-order, add to, and generally do anything that will make this a usefull document. I decided to add the outline/storm to create a structure to work in. I think of it as topics to cover. I am also a spanish speaker so my english may be akward. I will probably translate the book and put it into the Spanish Wikibooks as well.

 * Hi, there is a book about photography in German in wikibooks, 130 pages Photoschule Großformat - may be there is someone who may translate it. lars 20:18, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * I can't see that book on German wikibooks anymore, though there is this much shorter one. I fixed the link to a still-intact PDF source. It seems the book was removed from Wikibooks in 2004. Pratyeka (discuss • contribs) 00:45, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Paragraph Order
In the paragraph headed Single Lens Reflex it mentions Rangefinder, then goes on to describe a few aspects of Rangefinder. It seems to me that the paragraph on range finder should come first, with perhaps a little revision. This also gives a more logical progression from simple (pinhole) to complex (SLR).

Cookbook:Polenta

| Vegan cuisine | Side dishes

Polenta is a dish of cooked cornmeal. It is delicious topped with your favorite tomato sauce or with an assortment of grilled vegetables. Chilled, firm polenta may be served cut into triangles alongside chili or other hearty stews. Leftover polenta may be cut into strips or triangles, coated in seasoned bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese, and fried in olive oil. Like pasta, the possibilities for this versatile dish are virtually endless, so feel free to experiment with additions and toppings.

Ingredients

 * 1 cup cornmeal
 * 4 cups water
 * Salt to taste

Standard method

 * 1) In a heavy saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt.
 * 2) Stirring constantly with a stainless steel whisk, pour the cornmeal into the water in a steady stream.
 * 3) Reduce heat to a slow simmer and keep stirring with the whisk until it starts to boil.
 * 4) Cover and continue to cook, stirring every 2–3 minutes with a wooden spoon, always in the same clockwise direction. The time necessary for the porridge to be correctly cooked and thus well-digestible is 45 minutes. If the porridge gets too thick, add some hot water or skimmed milk to obtain a more creamy porridge. Check frequently to see if more salt is needed.
 * 5) For eating polenta hot from the pan, put a tablespoon of water in a deep ceramic dish and scrape the polenta into it. Serve it with a big wooden spoon.

Quick method

 * 1) Boil the water on the stove, then pour it into a large microwave-safe bowl with the salt.
 * 2) Stirring constantly, pour the cornmeal into the water in a steady stream.
 * 3) Cook the polenta in a microwave oven on medium power for 2–5 minutes, or longer for a larger serving. Remove from the microwave and stir vigorously. It will not cook evenly, and this stirring helps prevent lumps.
 * 4) Repeat this process until the polenta is thick, then proceed as above.

Really quick method

 * 1) Boil the water, toss in the salt and cornmeal, and microwave on medium power for 5–8 minutes (depending on quantity).
 * 2) Remove from microwave and stir like crazy to smash all of the lumps.
 * 3) Repeat if you need to thicken it some more, stir, and blend with the few remaining lumps.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * Just before you take the polenta off the heat (i.e. when it's almost done), stir in any of the following:
 * 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter and ½ cup grated cheese
 * 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2–3 cloves of minced garlic, and ¼ cup chopped sun dried tomatoes (drained if in oil)
 * ½ cup canned sweet corn kernels and ¼ cup sliced green Spanish olives
 * 1 minced seeded jalapeño chili and ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
 * 2 tablespoons butter and ½ cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese, topped with caramelized onions
 * To eat the polenta roasted, scrape the polenta into a non-stick pan or ceramic dish (or some container that will release it when it cools), and cool completely until firm and loaf-like. Cut it into slices, heat it in the oven or grill it, and serve with whatever topping you desire.

Xu xing, a famous Chinese writer and cultural scholar, published his debut novel  Variations Without a Theme (《无主题变奏》) in July 1985 by People's Literature (《人民文学》), which is regarded as a landmark work of Chinese contemporary literature from tradition to modernity.

After graduating from high school in 1975, Xu Xing went to Zhidan county(志丹县) in northern shan’xi province (陕西) to jump the queue of working in countryside (in Chinese: 插队). He joined the army in 1977 and served in the 21st Corps of Lanzhou Military Region.

In 1981 Xu Xing returned to Beijing after demobilizing from the army. He worked as a waiter and cleaner in Peking Duck House at Hepingmen and began to write. Within six months, he wrote his novel Variations Without a Theme (《无主题变奏》).

The novella Variations Without a Theme (《无主题变奏》) was not published until 1985, which aroused a great response and became one of the representatives of "avant-garde novels" in China (“先锋派小说”). The emergence of avant-garde novelists in those years made novel writing take on a brand new form. It made literary discourse greatly break through the narrative and description functions of traditional literary language and created new emotional expression and metaphorical symbolic functions, giving a shock to traditional realistic literary concepts.

Variations Without a Theme (《无主题变奏》) won the best short story award at Peking University Student Art Festival in 1989. Later, he published the novellas  The Story of A City（《城市的故事》） and  Hungry Mice （《饥饿的老鼠》）.
