Felipe Correa

Felipe Correa (born August 21, 1976) is a New York-based architect, urbanist, and author. He is the founder and managing partner of the design practice Somatic Collaborative.

He previously served as the Vincent and Eleanor Shea Professor at the University of Virginia School of Architecture. He also previously served as faculty at Harvard Graduate School of Design as an assistant professor (2008-2012), associate professor (2012–2018), and as director of the Master of Architecture in Urban Design (MAUD) program (2009-2018). Correa's writing, research, and design work have been widely published and exhibited.

Early life and career
Correa was born and raised in Quito, Ecuador. In 1995 he moved to New Orleans, Louisiana where he attended Tulane University for a Bachelor of Architecture. Shortly thereafter, he moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts where he attended Harvard University and graduated with a Master of Architecture in Urban Design degree from the Graduate School of Design. Since then, Correa has split his time between Charlottesville, New York, and Quito.

Academic career
Correa's academic work focuses on expanding the role of design in creating spatial synthesis across different scales and geographies of the built environment. While at Harvard, Correa worked with sponsors from the public and private sectors to develop multiple lines of research looking at specific contemporary case studies of fast-paced urbanization. The publication of several significant applied research and design monographs related specifically to this work include the urban impact study for the new underground metro currently under construction in Quito (A Line in the Andes; Harvard University Graduate School of Design, 2012), a study of the current state of mobility infrastructure for Mexico City (Mexico City: Beyond Geometry and Geography: AR+D, 2015) and, most recently, a comprehensive study and proposal for the transformation of inner-city postindustrial land in São Paulo, Brazil to new, centrally-located affordable housing districts (São Paulo: A Graphic Biography; University of Texas Press 2018).

Correa is also the author of Beyond the City: Resource Extraction Urbanism in South America (University of Texas Press, 2016). The book ties together a series of architectural models of often-overlooked sites outside the traditional South American city. Implementing the term “resource extraction urbanism,” Correa critically assesses five key urban and territorial projects in South America in the last century, providing a historical account of resource extraction in developing the region and re-framing the role of the "architect-planner" in relation to current regional initiatives underway throughout continent.

Design Practice
In 2006, Correa co-founded the Somatic Collaborative (with Anthony Acciavatti), which he still manages today. Working across disciplines and spatial scales, Somatic Collaborative operates at the confluence of Architecture, Landscape, Urbanism, and Infrastructure. Through Somatic, Correa has developed projects for various organizations, both from the public and private sectors, throughout the world. Most recently Somatic has worked in Kassel, Monterrey, Porto Alegre, Quito, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Seoul. Somatic Collaborative conceives design as a mediator across multiple scales of the build environment. Some of Correa's most recent design projects include the Perched House and the Neapolitan Residential and Co-Working Complex. Sited in the outskirts of Kassel (Germany), the Perched House is an experimental home designed as part of the Ways of Life program for Documenta 14, that investigates new relationships between domestic space, remote working, and new connections to nature. The Neapolitan Complex in Porto Alegre, Brazil examines how affordable housing can become the epicenter of new mixed-use and mixed income districts in South American intermediate scale cities.

Selected projects:

 * Perched House, (Kassel, Germany, 2017)
 * Housing and Co-working Complex, (Gravatai, Brazil, 2016–present)
 * Plaza República, (Quito, Ecuador, competition - finalist 2011)
 * Magok Waterfront and Mixed-use District, (Seoul, South Korea)

Publications and books
A selection of books written and co-written by Correa:

São Paulo: A Graphic Biography (2018) ISBN<PHONE_NUMBER>276

In São Paulo: A Graphic Biography, Correa presents a comprehensive portrait of Brazil's largest city, narrating its fast-paced growth through archival material, photography, analytical drawings, and text. Additional essays from scholars in fields such as landscape architecture, ecology, governance, and public health offer a series of interdisciplinary perspectives on the city's history and development.

Beyond the city: Resource Extraction Urbanism in South America (2017) ISBN<PHONE_NUMBER>414

Within the context of South America's recent push towards transnational integration, Correa analyzes the spatial imperatives brought by the Initiative for the Integration of the Regional Infrastructure of South America. Providing much-needed historical contextualization to IIRSA's agenda, Beyond the City ties together a series of spatial models and offers a survey of regional strategies in five case studies of often overlooked sites built outside the traditional South American urban constructs. Implementing the term “resource extraction urbanism,” Correa takes us from Brazil's nineteenth-century regional capital city of Belo Horizonte to the experimental, circular, “temporary” city of Vila Piloto in Três Lagoas. In Chile, he surveys the mining town of María Elena. In Venezuela, he explores petrochemical encampments at Judibana and El Tablazo, as well as new industrial frontiers at Ciudad Guayana. The result is both a cautionary tale, bringing to light a history of societies that were “inscribed” and administered, and a perceptive examination of the agency of architecture and urban planning in shaping South American lives.

Mexico City: Between Geometry and Geography (2014) ISBN<PHONE_NUMBER>080

(with Carlos Garciavelez Alfaro) Utilizing visual representation in the form of photography, maps, archival material, and various other analytical diagrams, Correa traces the historic urbanization and evolution of Mexico City. Specifically this book aims to examine the relationship between past public works projects and the modern day urban fabric of the city.

A Line in the Andes (2012) ISBN<PHONE_NUMBER>346

Following one year of investigation, Correa depicts a visual and analytical representation of the urban transformations in Quito, Ecuador that resulted from the city's implementation of its first underground metro line.

Cities: X Lines-A New Lens for the Urbanistic Project (2006) ISBN<PHONE_NUMBER>946

(with Joan Busquets) Busquets and Correa outline the specific methods, tools, and lenses that current designers are utilizing as they shape and develop today's cities. Intertwining methods with case studies throughout the world, the authors paints a vivid picture of how design frameworks have shifted over the past 30 years.

Matt Marga

Matt Marga is a London-based Italian artist.

Career
Matt Marga is represented by the Ventique art gallery in London, UK. In the past few years Marga has been exhibiting in the UK, Italy and the UAE but spent the majority of his career creating sculptures for private commissions.

He has produced two sculptural bodies of work inspired by nature:
 * London Geodes: the beauty inside, inspired by how crystals are commonly formed in nature
 * Stargaze: contemplating the Majestic, inspired by the dark sky and the loss thereof due to light pollution

The media he uses are crystals, metal and glass. He is mostly fascinated by the ability of crystals to diffract light in different colors.

One Million Queen
One Million Queen is a public sculpture unveiled on 29 November 2018 in Park Lane. According to Matt Marga, he has created this sculpture of Queen Elizabeth II to celebrate the life and legacy of one of the most influential figures in modern history and Head of the Commonwealth as a union of nations.

HM Queen Elizabeth 1926 - 2022

London Geodes: the beauty inside
The London Geodes sculpture is created with the intent of reproducing geodes in an urban context. They are formed by structures made out of laser cut panels later covered in metal with a cold casting technique. The material is then hand-polished. Cracks created as part of the sculpture are then covered in crystals and lit up with the aid of LED lights. The cold casting technique is more ecologically sustainable than the traditional casting via the melting of metal.

Marga's intent in his London Geodes body of works is to recreate the mountains, the peaks, and valleys that used to host these stones before they were extracted and turned into sellable goods.

Stargaze: Looking up to the Majesty
The pieces of the Stargaze collection are created by melting sheets of glass, and crystals are positioned over the molten surface. Once dry, the crystals appear embedded into the glass, suspended inside. Each piece is installed so that it hovers in front of the wall.

Prince Consort
This new sculpture between the V&A and Natural History Museum on Exhibition Road, London, commemorates Prince Albert's bicentenary anniversary. It resembles a modern, faceted obelisk that has been inspired by Albertopolis.

Talk:Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game Research Project

Have you seen my favorite paper on this topic? --Rayc 00:06, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

If anyone is serious about makeing a decentralized network capable of running a MMORPG I can offer how to do this, at least theoretically (not enough programming experience/time) But this wiki is very messy and unorganized, there is no room to provide the answers to these questions, Decentilization doesn't not seem to be fully understood and the brainstorming does not seem to relate to any other section.

email - firstuser29 AT gmail com

 * So add a section or a link to Decentralization and begin the design notes.  Feel free to link back to other sections or ideas or footnote as appropriate.  Wiki evolve over time by participation.  If you have answers it is your responsibility to make room and attempt to improve the organization and presentation of the information. This is part of the "wiki way". Mirwin 06:05, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Alternate naming and clarification of focus...
These are some suggestions. How about the last one?

Decentralized digital multiuser universe

Digital decentralized multiuser universe

Decentralized multiuser digital space

Multiuser decentralized digital space --Emesee 06:38, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Indeed, the topic is misleading. It seems that decentralization is an important thing about this project but the topic just states this could be any kind of game.

 * -- CheatCat (discuss • contribs) 11:33, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Many users important?
The subject of making a MMORPG game really intresst me. But are there really anyone that work on that idea? An idea is to start small, eg. without the "massive" part of a "Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game" and figure out simple unique concept. Even if this is just done for research I think that every game should have a kind of unique-ness. Then, if this project become popular enough, issues that occur with many users can be solved.

Portal:Latin America/Featured article/Day 13

Salsa music is a diverse and predominantly Caribbean and Latin genre that is popular across Latin America and among Latinos abroad. Salsa incorporates multiple styles and variations; the term can be used to describe most any form of popular Cuban-derived genre, such as chachachá and mambo. Most specifically, however, salsa refers to a particular style developed by the 1960s and '70s Cuban and Puerto Rican immigrants to the New York City area, and stylistic descendants like 1980s salsa romantica. The style is now practiced throughout Latin America, and abroad; in some countries it may be referred to as música tropical. Salsa's closest relatives are Cuban mambo and the son orchestras of the early 20th century, as well as Latin jazz. The terms Latin jazz and salsa are sometimes used interchangeably; many musicians are considered a part of either, or both, fields, especially performers from prior to the 1970s.

Salsa is essentially Cuban in stylistic origin, though it is also a hybrid of various Latin styles mixed with pop, jazz, rock, and R&B. Modern salsa remains a dance-oriented genre and is closely associated with a style of salsa dancing.

Computer Programming/Physics

About This Document
I have programmed a (working) 2D physics system before and I am currently in college as a Physics Engineering major, so I have experience, but I am by no means an industry expert, so I'm going to start this document and hope that either someone who knows this stuff steps in and takes over or guides me so that I can do this correctly.

Also, if my formatting looks bad, any one can feel free to change it.

`External Party - Added more to the portion of physics. Hopefully not too lengthy or off-topic.

= About Physics =

Computer programs today simulate physical systems for various purposes, such as realism in games and testing mechanical prototypes before construction. Added with the current trend of increasing processing power, these physical simulations are continually becoming more complicated and elaborate. As such where physics is applicable, programs without these capabilities appear more simple and primitive and thus less desirable compared to programs with these abilities.

Not all programs require the full range of computational capabilities. Most games only require the ability to accurately calculate mechanical processes. Programs like the ones used to test objects need more complex abilities, like calculating the heat given off by the friction between two surfaces. Some programs may even find it desirable to perform pseudo-calculations, calculations based upon physics yet tweaked to achieve a more desirable behavior, or they may just represent a very narrow range of processes that can occur.

When programming physics, various different mechanisms of physics, including branching decisions such as collisions between objects, gravity and any other exertional forces taking effect upon objects present, along with various other elements depending upon the given situation, need to be taken into account and compensated for accordingly.

Each different object has its own mass/weight, which is usually dependent upon the size of the object itself. Effectively programming physics generally entails keeping track of the weight of each object, factoring in other forces such as gravity and collisions while calculating the force of each collision, depending on the object weights and perform an action accordingly.

One example of the weight of objects taking an effect on the world around them would be where, when placed upon another object held up by a weak force would then cause that object to lower towards the ground. The types of physics examples that could be programmed to demonstrate this are virtually endless and, for beginners, it is recommended that they attempt basic examples of physics like gravity.

The Power that Preserves

The Power that Preserves is a fantasy novel by American writer Stephen R. Donaldson, the final book of the first trilogy of The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant series. It is followed by The Wounded Land, which begins the second trilogy.

Plot summary
Back in his own "real" world, Thomas Covenant is devastated by the loss of Elena, though he still maintains to himself that his experience in the Land was all just a dream. Tormented by this unanswerable paradox, he neglects his physical condition; he stops taking his medications and fails to treat his head wound, allowing his dormant leprosy to once again become active.

Wandering in the woods outside of his home town, he comes upon a lost little girl suffering from a rattlesnake bite. At this point he is once again summoned to the Land, this time by the desperate High Lord Mhoram, who is in need of aid. Covenant finds that seven years have gone by since the Illearth War, and Lord Foul is preparing for his final assault on the people of the Land. Foul has enslaved the tormented spirit of former High Lord Elena, who now wields the Staff of Law in the service of evil. The Lords have lost their most loyal defenders, the ageless Bloodguard, and the Land has been cast into a perpetual winter. Furthermore, Lord Foul has rebuilt his army, which, under the command of the third Giant-Raver Satansfist, now besieges the Lords' mountain-fortress of Revelstone. As a last resort, the Lords have decided to call upon Covenant, in the hope that he will be able to use the wild magic of his white gold ring to repel the siege and save the Land from total destruction.

Covenant, however, demands that Mhoram release the summons in order to allow him to save the girl's life in the "real" world. Mhoram assents. Covenant does manage to save the girl, but at the cost of being poisoned by the rattlesnake venom he has sucked out of her. In this state and with the knowledge that the girl is safe, he accepts another summoning.

Covenant finds himself once again at Kevin's Watch, the place to which Lord Foul transported him at the time of his first summoning by Drool Rockworm. This time he has been brought to the Land by the joint efforts of Triock, jilted lover of Lena (whom Covenant raped on his first trip to the Land resulting in the birth of Elena) and the Giant Saltheart Foamfollower, his boon companion from the quest for the Staff of Law and one of the last two surviving Giants. Descending from the mountain and travelling east with Triock and Foamfollower in search of Lord Foul's demesne, Covenant is horrified to witness the depredations caused by Foul and his servants. South of the Plains of Ra, Covenant finds that his old bodyguard Bannor has joined with the Ramen in an attempt to protect the Ranyhyn, the intelligent, free horses who formerly served the Bloodguard as mounts. Covenant convinces the Ramen to take the Ranyhyn south to safety; Bannor, now aged as he is no longer sustained by the power of his Vow, accompanies him on his journey east.

Kidnapped by Ravers, Covenant confronts Elena and uses the power of his white gold ring to dismiss her ghost, although this results in the destruction of the Staff of Law. Bannor declines to follow Covenant further, although he accepts the metal heels of the Staff for safekeeping and eventual return to the Lords. Meanwhile Lord Mhoram, after a protracted battle, is able to break the siege of Revelstone and kill Satansfist.

Afterwards, Covenant and Foamfollower journey to Ridjeck Thome, the very heart of Lord Foul's dominion, where they succeed in defeating Foul; this act also repairs much of the havoc caused by Elena's breaking of the Law of Death. Covenant, who has finally gained full comprehension of and control over the power of the wild magic, uses it to destroy the Illearth Stone: in the final cataclysm Foamfollower is killed and so, seemingly, is Covenant.

However, his consciousness remains, and while in a state somewhere between being and non-existence, he is spoken to in the darkness by the voice of the old beggar from the beginning of the first book, who is in fact the Creator of the Land. The Creator thanks Covenant for saving his creation and asks him what reward he might accept. Excitedly, Covenant asks the Creator to save Foamfollower, but the Creator regretfully tells Covenant "in a tone of ineffable rue" that even he cannot undo something that has already occurred: otherwise the Arch of Time, the fundamental structure underlying the Land's universe, will be destroyed. The Creator explains that this restriction, in fact, is what prevented him from dealing with Foul directly: he had to act through a proxy, Covenant, and even after causing Covenant to be transported to the Land, the Creator did not interfere with Covenant's freedom of will in any way. The decision to "save or damn" the Land was Covenant's own.

The Creator then tells Covenant that he has a choice: either he can remain in the Land in full health, or he can be returned to life in his own world, where he otherwise would have died from an allergic reaction to the anti-venom treatment applied to his unconscious body. Covenant, still unwilling to fully accept the Land, chooses the latter and awakes in his hospital bed, weakened from his physical trauma, still afflicted with his disease, but happy to be alive, and secure in the knowledge that he had not failed the Land.

Civ/Civilization II/Scenarios/X-COM: Assault

X-COM: Assault is a scenario in Civilization II that focuses on the combat side of the game. In this game, you control one of two forces in an effort to wipe out the other in 300 turns. It was designed to be a single-player scenario, with the player controlling the X-COM forces against the numbers disadvantage.

X-COM
The X-COM start with three cities: The Judge, The Jury, and The Executioner. These cities provide minimal food, shields, or trade, due to the unimproved terrain and the poor city locations for growth, so new units cannot be built in reasonable time. All three cities also have Training Centers (Barracks), allowing any new units to be veteran. There is a landing zone outside of The Judge, and after 20 turns, 3 reinforcements, 2 Alpha Squads, a Heavy Section, and a B.A.U. will land there, so it is imperative to safeguard the landing zone from the alien forces.

The X-COM run under a fundamentalism, with initially 60% towards luxuries and 40% towards taxes. Research is not a factor in this scenario, as you are researching a dead-end advance that does not give you any advantage of any kind.

Aliens
The aliens also run under a fundamentalist government, and start with eight cities. Unlike the X-COM, the aliens have very good shield production capacity, and thus can create new units to reinforce their numbers advantage. Alien units are able to trade unit-for-unit against the X-COM, with many forces ready to attack. Each alien city start off with Bunkers (City Walls), Training Centers (Barracks), and Food Storages (Granary).

X-COM Units
All X-COM units treat squares as road. With the exception of the B.A.U., all units are supported for free under fundamentalism, and can attack air units.

Alien Units

2002 Texas gubernatorial election

The 2002 Texas gubernatorial election was held on November 5, 2002, to elect the governor of Texas. Incumbent Republican Governor Rick Perry, who had ascended to the governorship after the resignation of George W. Bush to become President of the United States, was elected to his first full term in office, winning 58% of the vote to Democrat Tony Sanchez's 40%.

Perry carried 218 out of 254 counties, while Sanchez only carried 36. Exit polls showed Perry easily won among white voters with 72% while Sanchez won the African American vote with 85% and the Latino vote with 65%. His second inauguration for a first full four-year term began on January 21, 2003, on the Texas State Capitol South Grounds.

, this was the last time the Republican candidate carried Dallas County, the last time the Democratic candidate carried Cass, Hudspeth, Pecos, Terrell, Nueces, and Kenedy counties, and the last time Republicans kept the vote margins within the single digits in Travis County.

Perry
Incumbent Rick Perry ascended to the governorship of Texas on December 21, 2000, following the resignation of then-Gov. George W. Bush, who had been elected President of the United States. Perry had been elected Lieutenant Governor of Texas in 1998 and previously elected Texas Commissioner of Agriculture in 1990 and 1994 including three terms in the Texas House of Representatives in 1984, 1986 and 1988. He successfully ran for a full four-year term in 2002.

Perry had an ongoing political feud with Democratic Speaker Pete Laney during the 2001 legislative session, and vetoed several pieces of legislation brought forward by several Democratic state lawmakers. However, rumors about fellow Republican U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison launching a primary challenge against Perry had been swirling for weeks, but Hutchison chose not to run for governor, choosing instead to serve as Vice Chair of the Senate Republican Conference to avoid a nasty primary battle that would have divided the Texas Republican Party in time for the general election of 2002. Perry's campaign received the endorsement of former State Attorney General Dan Morales, who lost the Democratic primary nomination, and he also received endorsements from the Dallas Morning News, Abilene Reporter-News, Midland Reporter-Telegram, Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, and the Galveston County Daily News. Public opinion polls from Zogby International, Survey USA, and Scripps-Howard showed Perry leading by double digits, and the Perry campaign was outspent by Sanchez by a margin of 12-to-1, with Perry spending $27 million to Sanchez's $76 million.

Sanchez
Laredo multimillionaire businessman Tony Sanchez, had served as a regent of the University of Texas at Austin, having been appointed to the University of Texas Board of Regents by then-Governor Bush in 1997, and he also served on the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission from 1985 to 1991-having been appointed by then-Governor Mark Wells White in 1985.

Sanchez was best known for getting involved in successful battles such as: challenging the architectural plan for a new art museum and to consider a Hispanic candidate for President of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. Sanchez started making waves on running for governor back in late 2000, when he was helped by Kelly Fero, who served as a consultant on Jim Mattox's unsuccessful campaign for governor in 1990 and John Sharp's 1998 unsuccessful bid for lieutenant governor, and also had discussions with George Shipley, a longtime Democratic strategist and consultant. In the Democratic primary, Sanchez easily defeated Morales by a landslide margin of 60 percent to 32 percent in the primary elections on March 12, 2002. However, the bitter primary campaign between Sanchez and Morales resulted in negative campaign attacks including Morales criticizing Sanchez for connections between a failed Sanchez-owned savings and loan and Mexican drug lords. Sanchez pummeled Morales by picking up the questions on the tobacco settlement and suggested the former Texas Attorney General was only running for office to protect himself from federal indictments. Sanchez managed to get the endorsements from the Austin Chronicle, Corpus Christi Caller Times, and the Waco Tribune Herald during the general election campaign.

CTX (computer virus)

CTX is a computer virus created in Spain in 1999. CTX was initially discovered as part of the Cholera worm, with which the author intentionally infected with CTX. Although the Cholera worm had the capability to send itself via email, the CTX worm quickly surpassed it in prevalence. Cholera is now considered obsolete, while CTX remains in the field, albeit with only rare discoveries.

In March 2006, CTX was in the news again due to a false positive in the McAfee VirusScan program that caused CTX detections in a range of innocuous files.

Simbiosis Project and "Biocoding"
The CTX virus originated as part of the "Simbiosis (sic) Project". The Simbiosis Project was an early attempt by the 29A virus writers group to combine Windows file infectors with Windows mass-mailing worms. This 'Project' was an attempt to see how successful this previously rare synthesis of malware threats was. Cholera/CTX is the only documented virus involved in the Simbiosis Project. Although CTX did gain some spread in the wild, this was remarkably more related to its file infection functions than the Cholera mass-mailing function.

CTX was also a member of the "BioCoded" string of viruses. The "BioCoded" string seemed to have little to do with each other beyond being named after biological viruses. Other members of this group include Marburg, Dengue, HPS, the latter of which is a reference to Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome. All "BioCoded" viruses have been listed on the WildList, including CTX. Despite their threatening names, CTX and all BioCoded viruses have no payload beyond graphics and, in some cases, deleting antivirus programs.

Function of Cholera Worm
By today's standards, Cholera is a fairly unremarkable mass-mailing worm, written in C++. However, Cholera was remarkable at its creation for its use of its own SMTP server. Unlike most worms of the day, which relied on installations of Microsoft Outlook or similar email programs, Cholera was capable of sending its own mails through internal mechanisms. Cholera sends its emails with the attachment SETUP.EXE, of 49,187 bytes in size. Emails are collected from files on the infected computer's hard drive. Cholera only spreads when another Internet-using application is open, to avoid detection in a time when dial-up modems were standard.

When SETUP.EXE is executed, Cholera displays the fake error, "Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive. If you downloaded this file, try downloading the file again."

Cholera is also a network worm, inserting itself into the Windows folders of computers available through Network Neighborhood.

Finally, Cholera will add itself to either WIN.INI (Windows 95 and similar flavours) or the Registry (Windows NT and similar flavours).

CTX infection routine
Upon execution, whether from an infected file or the Cholera dropper, CTX will check to see if its payload routine should activate (see Payload). If not, CTX will infect EXE files. CTX has a polymorphic nature, which is neither particularly simple or complex in nature. CTX also obscures the entry point of files to avoid detection. The virus avoids infecting more than five files in a given folder to avoid detection. Files infecting with CTX are padded to a multiple of 101 bytes to avoid re-infections.

Payload
CTX has a non-destructive payload which rarely activates. If a file is executed exactly six months to the hour after infection, and the video requirements are sufficient, CTX will go into an infinite loop of inverting the desktop colours.

Prevalence
The WildList, an organization tracking computer viruses, included CTX on its list of threats found in the field from November 2001 to May 2005.

McAfee false positive
On 17 March 2006, McAfee, makers of VirusScan, announced that a false positive had caused the CTX virus to be detected in a number of common, innocent files, including Microsoft Excel. McAfee posted a list of affected files on their web site here.

Evaluate an article
This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.

 * "Tool use by animals"
 * Animals using tools to complete minor to complex tasks is very interesting, and I was curious to read about tool use by animals other than primates.

Lead

 * The Lead starts with a good definition of the topic. Following this, it summarizes which taxa this behaviour occurs in and gives a brief description of tool use in several different species. However, it may be too detailed, as a lot of information is put in the lead that would read better as part of a content paragraph. Could be rewritten to be more concise.

Content
The content of the article is very detailed, and separates examples into sections based on the animal taxa. The first section deals with defining what a tool is and what can be considered tool use. This information was important Only 9/143 references are from the last three years, so most of the cited information in the article is at least a few years old. It could benefit from the addition of more up-to-date content. For the most part, the content in the article is relevant, well cited, and gives a broad description of the topic.

Tone and Balance
The article remains neutral, presenting referenced facts without opinion or bias.

Sources and References
Overall, the page seems very well referenced, with citations after every few sentences. The majority of these references lead back to a scientific publication, so they are reliable. Multiple links in the sources were tested, and all of them were working. There are 143 references in total, so the information has been gathered from a wide variety of sources. However, only nine of these are from within the last three years, so the article could definitely benefit from some more new references.

In scrolling through the sources, one titled "Dog Grooming Tools & Supplies - The Pet Grooming" caught my eye as it did not seem relevant to the topic. This was reference #43, supposedly a source backing up that orangutans use a stick to masturbate, however it lead to a site about the importance of dog grooming.

Organization
The article is very well organized. The information is broken into sections based on taxa, with the major subheadings as mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and invertebrates. For taxa with many examples of tool use, the sections were further broken down into smaller taxonomic units. This made the article very easy to read and follow. If you were visiting the article to find information about tool use in a specific taxa, it would be very easy to locate due to this organization. I could not find any spelling or grammar errors during my read-through.

Images and Media
The article contains multiple images of animals using tools in different ways. They are well captioned, and positioned so that they appear next to content which is relevant to the images. The images are all sources appropriately, with most of them being from the creative commons. For most of the major taxa described, an image is present to help further explain the behaviour. Some of the photos are of poor resolution.

Checking the talk page
One issue brought up in the talk page had to do with the line "Another incidence of play in birds has been filmed showing a corvid playing with a table tennis ball in partnership with a dog.[113]". As mentioned in the talk page, this reference leads to a Youtube video of a human throwing a ball and a crow chasing it. According to the definitions given earlier in the article, this is not tool use. This issue was brought up in 2016 and is still not resolved. Most of the conversations are about whether or not things would count as tool use given the somewhat vague definition.

The article is given a B-class rating, and is a part of WikiProjects Animals, Cognitive science, and Technology.

Overall impressions
The article's strongest aspect has to be its organization. The information is separated into easy-to-read sections, and navigating to any particular area of interest is easy through the table of contents. It succeeds in covering in detail the use of tools across multiple animal taxa, giving plenty of written and visual examples.

The article could be improved by adding some newer references from the past few years. As well, it could benefit from a closer read-through to determine if any examples, such as the dog and crow story mentioned above, are actually an example of tool use following the definitions used. As well, the references could be checked to ensure that the links given are actually the correct ones leading to reliable sources, unlike citation #43 which lead to the dog grooming website.

This article is well developed and complete, though it could benefit from some editing.

Talk:The Design and Organization of Data Centers/Location

I like this book idea, this is something that I might be able to help with, unlike most of the other subjects. My background is in network engineering, but I must admit that I have only designed a few data centers, and they were not big and serious like what you are listing here.

I have observed this done wrong; once a client had their racks installed so close to the wall that we couldnt easily get behind the racks to deal with the (never ending) cable hassles.

I found a $50 portable label machine to be my best friend. I like to tape a copy of the network map right onto the wall, and have a pencil (with eraser) velcro'ed to it. I encourage others to "write on the map any time", and we occasionally update it. The map has the file path listed (not a URL of course) on it. "revised [date]" is below the title of every map.

I'm more of the networking guy than a contractor that does this type of work, but let me know if there is anything somebody like me can add to this book. note, I have not read thru it fully.

Definately remind the reader that documentation is "billable hours", so they are financially modivated to do what we are notorious for putting off. I like to tell clients "if I do my job correctly, I can get hit by a bus and my office can burn down, and you will have most of the information you need already documented by me, you will not discover after the fact that it's all stored in my head and what you have is obsolete. Therefore you will see me take time to document things. Computer folks are notorious for procrastinating when it comes to documenting a constantly changing network"

--

Please, have at it! One of the largest parts of the book is the organization and documentation sections.

Hook still not properly formatted. Article still not fully supported by sources. The unpublished dissertation is not an acceptable source in a medical article. There are a number of raw URLs in the citation list that need to go. There is at least one source that appears to be a primary source medical study where the section pretty much exclusively talks about it, not how others responded to it. No PMID in the citation. Appears to be other possible WP:MEDRS sourcing issues. This is not ready. When ALL these concerns are addressed, please comment HERE AND on my talk page. --LauraHale (talk) 20:06, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Not sure how the hook is still improperly formatted after it's recent revisions. Citations have been created/modified where requested. Improper referencing issue has been addressed. R-Bot6 (talk) 04:14, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Sourcing now appears to be reliable and, based on my understanding of WP:MEDRS, compliant. (I have asked a medical person to verify.) Hook is properly formatted. Hooked fact is found in the article and supported by a source. I think it is good to go. --LauraHale (talk) 04:23, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

PHP Programming/Arrays

Arrays are sets of data that can be defined in a PHP Script. Arrays can contain other arrays inside of them without any restriction (hence building multidimensional arrays). Arrays can be referred to as tables or hashes.

Syntax
Arrays can be created in two ways. The first involves using the function array. The second involves using square brackets.

The array function method
In the array function method, you create an array in the scheme of:  For example, to set up the array to make the keys sequential numbers (Example: "0, 1, 2, 3"), you use:

This would produce the array like this:

It is also possible to define the key value:

This would set the array like this:

The square brackets method
The square brackets method allows you to set up by directly setting the values. For example, to make, all you need to do is:

The same applies for setting the key value:

Example #1
This example sets and prints arrays.

Example #2
The following example will output the identical text as Example #1:

Example #3
Using the Example #1 and Example #2 above, now you can try and use arrays the same way as normal variables:

Multidimensional arrays
Elements in an array can also be an array, allowing for multidimensional arrays. An example, in accordance with the motoring examples above, is:

In this example, if you were to use:

The output would be: Toyota

1395

Array functions
There are dozens of array manipulation functions. Before implementing your own, make sure it doesn't already exist as a PHP function in Array functions (PHP manual entry).

Sorting
Examples:

Array traversal
In various circumstances, you will need to visit every array element and perform a task upon it.

The simplest and the most widely used method for this is the foreach operator that loops through the whole array and works individually with each key/item couple. If a more complex way of traversing the array is needed, the following functions operate using the internal array pointer:

 * reset - sets the internal pointer to the first element and returns the first element
 * prev - sets the internal pointer to the previous element and returns it
 * current - returns the current element; does not change the internal pointer
 * next - sets the internal pointer to the next element and returns it
 * each - returns the current element; then sets the internal pointer to the next element
 * end - sets the internal pointer to the last element and returns the last element

Another possibility is defining a function and applying it to each array element via one of the following functions:

 * array_walk - applies a function to each array element
 * array_walk_recursive - same, but if the element is itself an array, it will traverse that array too

Cookbook:Midwestern Chicken Wings

| Meat Recipes | United States

Midwestern chicken wings are not to be confused with hot wings; midwestern wings are not spicy.

Ingredients

 * 2 cloves garlic, minced
 * 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
 * 1 cup soy sauce
 * 12 ounces apricot preserves (not preserved apricots, not apricot jelly)
 * 4–5 pounds chicken wings

Procedure

 * 1) Place all ingredients except chicken into a bowl and mix to make a marinade.
 * 2) Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator with the marinade for at least 3 hours. A plastic bag sealed tight without much air or free space is believed to provide the best marinating. As with many marinating recipes, the longer the better.
 * 3) Clean and preheat grill to medium heat.
 * 4) Place wings on grill. Turn 1–4 times over the next 20 minutes.

Notes, tips, And variations

 * Cut the chicken wings into two pieces at the elbow joint (recommended).
 * For the health conscious, remove the chicken skin.
 * Heat marinade on grill along with chicken wings, and add a little to the wings when done (See Warnings below).
 * 1 teaspoon of ginger powder can be substituted for the fresh ginger.
 * Feel free to apply the marinade recipe to other chicken cuts, such as breasts. A shish-kabob variation of this recipe is also excellent.

Warnings

 * Ensure a clean kitchen environment (hands, surfaces, etc), since this recipe requires marinating.
 * Never serve the marinade without first heating it to a boil.

Jens Rathke

Jens Rathke (14 November 1769 – 28 February 1855) was a Norway's first professor of zoology.

Biography
Rathke was born in Christiania (now Oslo), Norway. He was the son of Casper Elias Rathke (1729–1777) and Margaretha Madsdatter Schultz (1735–1812). He was a student at the Christiania Cathedral School until 1787. Rathke took Cand.theol. at the University of Copenhagen in 1792, but soon left theology and began to study natural sciences.

In 1810, he became a zoology professor at the University of Copenhagen, where he also taught lessons in botany and mineralogy. In 1813, he moved to the University of Christiania (now University of Oslo) as a professor of natural history. He made several trips along the Norwegian coast from Bergen to Lofoten to investigate the conditions of fisheries. He presented the results of these studies in  Beiträge zur Fauna Norwegens,  which was published in 1843. Upon his death, he bequeathed his estate, funding a trust (Rathkes legat) at the University of Oslo to use for study of Norway's natural conditions.

Biblical Studies/New Testament Commentaries/The Gospel of John/Introduction

Authorship and Date Written
Wikipedia Article

John: The last Gospel - Introduction:

John is the fourth and last Gospel in the New Testament. This Gospel contains many distinctive accounts that are not found in the other Gospels. Only about 10% of the Johannine Gospel is shared with the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. The differences of note include:
 * The emphasis on the Person of Jesus as the Messiah and God's Revelation of Jesus as "Light of the World"
 * The generality of the Gospel, which is not addressed to a specific audience
 * Repetitive use of distinctive words not found in the other Gospels (light, life, love)
 * Several events and discourses in the life of Jesus not found elsewhere.

Some may argue that this gospel contains many of the principles that would become instrumental in later missionary developments. The fact that most of the book is centered around Jesus' work on earth would also lead many to this distinction about the book. The similar relationships between the Fourth Gospel and the Synoptics are the accounts of the passion story, basic structural similarity with order of Jesus' ministry, and similar pattern of dialogues/metaphors (Dodd, 1953). On the other hand in the Fourth Gospel there is no account of several common themes from the Synoptic Gospels:
 * Jesus' birth and Baptism and Temptations
 * Early years of ministry
 * Calling of the Twelve Disciples
 * Sermon on the Mount
 * The parables about the Kingdom of Heaven
 * Teachings on Service, Prayer
 * Teachings of the Disciples

In comparison, the Synoptics have no wedding at Cana, no raising of Lazarus, no washing of the feet of the disciples, and no conversation with Nicodemus.

The literary structure of the story of Jesus flows by a public ministry of Jesus, a private teaching of his disciples, a public trial and execution, and a series of private appearances to his disciples. The author leads the reader through sequences and the reader experiences the story through their emotions. The use of emotion helps the book create a different kind of connection in the reader. Instead of merely presenting the story of Jesus' life in a vague unevoking manner, the author uses words and phrasing to create emotional attachment. It is almost as if the book was written with the intention that it would be used to evangelize those who read it, which of course is the purpose of all the Gospels-- To bear witness to the Truth of Scripture and God's purposes toward men.

Although one would perhaps ask why there are such differences, it is clear that John's Gospel is directed toward those who already are familiar with one or more of the Synoptic Gospels. Thus, John does not repeat the Synoptic content but concentrates on the compelling Personage and Purpose of Christ.

Finally, some individuals might say the purpose of its writings are to evoke faith or convince readers that Jesus is the Messiah. John 20:31 states, "But these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God: and that believing, you may have life in his name." It appears, from this verse, that the purpose of the Fourth Gospel is to evangelize its readers. However, scholars debate about the translation of the original Greek. Some say the translation reads, "may continue to believe." If this is the case, the Gospel of John was probably written to strengthen Christians in their struggles at the time (see John 20:28). Robert Kysar, author of "John the Maverick Gospel" believes that the latter purpose mentioned, that the Fourth Gospel was written to sustain Christians' faith, makes sense when the Fourth Gospel, as a whole, is studied. Kysar points out that the Gospel of John consistently shows Jesus as both "sent from God and one who has divine status but is still subordinate to the Father" (Kysar 21). Perhaps this was a response to all the Jewish people who were hesitant about Christianity, charging it with being a religion that supports two gods. When the historical struggle between Jews, who were afraid of losing the "stability of the synagogue" (Kysar 21), and Christians, who were afraid of not being able to practice what they believed, is taken into account, it makes a great deal more sense to view the Gospel of John as an attempt to strengthen Christians' beliefs so they could defend themselves when their faith was questioned.

The themes in this Gospel are all related to the claims which Jesus made about himself, and the evidence that supports those claims. Here are eight claims which Jesus made about himself:

1) That he can give (and is) living water. 2) That he is the bread of life 3) That he is the light of the world 4) That he is the door of the sheep 5) That he is the good shepherd who gives his life for the sheep 6) That he is the resurrection and the life 7) That he is the way, the truth, and the life 8) That he is the true vine 9) That he and the Father are one.

Notice that "living" or "life" appears repeatedly in these claims. Life is a very prominent theme in John's Gospel, and light is closely related to it. Evidence is presented to convince the reader of the truth of the above and other similar claims. Therefore, faith and believing are also prominent themes.

The Bay Conference was established in 1970 by charter members Ashwaubenon, Bay Port, Clintonville, De Pere, Marinette, Oconto, Oconto Falls, Pulaski, Seymour, and West De Pere. 1979 brought the addition of former East Central Conference member New London and former Wisconsin Valley Conference member Shawano, in exchange for Oconto and Oconto Falls, who would go to the Central Wisconsin Conference. In 1999, Clintonville left the Bay Conference to join the newly formed Valley 8 Conference. Of the ten original members, only Seymour, and West De Pere have remained in the conference since its inception.

2007–2015
The 2007 WIAA realignment brought major changes to the Bay Conference. Ashwaubenon, Bay Port, De Pere, and Pulaski transferred to the Fox River Classic Conference (FRCC), where they joined the larger Green Bay, Manitowoc, and Sheboygan area high schools. Hortonville and Oconto Falls transferred from the now defunct Valley 8 Conference, and Denmark and Luxemburg-Casco transferred from the Packerland Conference. Each of these schools had increasing enrollments and had outgrown their previous conferences.

In late 2008, Hortonville petitioned the WIAA to move the growing school into the Fox Valley Association in exchange for Menasha High School, whose declining enrollment prompted them to look at other alternatives. Hortonville cited travel times and costs as well as the imbalance that existed in the Bay Conference as reasons to leave. Hortonville's enrollment was nearly twice as large as the Bay Conference's smallest school and 200 students more than the second largest school. The issue came to a vote at a Menasha School Board meeting, which resulted in Menasha's decision to remain in the FVA. In September 2011, at an WIAA area meeting held in Appleton, Green Bay West requested to leave the FRCC to join the Bay Conference, and Green Bay East asked to go if needed. West and East both cited their inability to compete in the FRCC. In a September 2012 WIAA area meeting, New London asked to leave the Bay Conference to move to the Eastern Valley Conference, and Denmark requested to leave. Green Bay East and West are still seeking to move. At a WIAA Board of Control meeting in September, the board gave first approval to swap Hortonville with FVA member Menasha before the 2014-15 school year. A final vote was taken after the 40-day appeal window and passed. In December 2013, the WIAA Board of Control gave first approval for the departure of Denmark, Luxemburg–Casco, Marinette and Oconto Falls to the Eastern Valley in Return for the FRCC's Green Bay East & West and the EVC's Xavier. Waupaca would be in the Bay for football only. A final vote was taken after the 40-day appeal window & successfully passed for implementation for the 2015–2016 school year along with several other conference realignments.

2015–present
Starting in 2015, the conference stayed steady at eight schools. However, in September 2016, West De Pere requested to move to the FRCC, citing inadequate athletic competition in the Bay and a school size that was rapidly growing. Other reasons included rivalries against teams in the FRCC like De Pere, Ashwaubenon and Pulaski. In December 2019, as part of the realignment process, West De Pere formally filed a request to move to the FRCC. After a committee reviewed the process, West De Pere's request was denied due to their failure to provide documents showing discussions with the Northeastern Conference which was provided as a solution to fill the void leaving the Bay Conference. West De Pere chose not to appeal the rejection.

In 2018, the WIAA and Wisconsin Football Coaches Association released a realignment plan to go into effect starting in fall 2020 for football only. The proposal has Green Bay West, Green Bay East, West De Pere, and Menasha moving to the FRCC, with Fox Valley Lutheran and Marinette joining the five other remaining Bay football schools in a revamped Bay where Shawano would be the largest school in terms of enrollment. After some modifications the final Bay Conference will consist of current schools New London, Seymour, Shawano, Waupaca and Xavier, as well as football-only schools Fox Valley Lutheran and Winneconne. In 2022 A slight modification sent FVL to the Northeastern for 2 seasons setting up double crossover games between the Bay and Northeastern Conferences in Weeks 3 and 4 of the regular season, These 2 games counted in the conference standings and for playoff qualification purposes. FVL will return in 2024 and teams in the Bay and Northeastern will have 1 Crossover game to count in the conference and playoff standings. Football Only conferences run on a 2 year window to make changes.

In late 2023 West De Pere once again filed a Fast Track Request to move to the FRCC, Also Winneconne and Fox Valley Lutheran made the request to move the growing schools into the Bay Conference. The first process saw both moves with Unanimous support from the Realignment Task Force Committee to move to the next steps. This proposal became official in April 2024 with the changes taking effect in the 2025-2026 School year.

2025 Belarusian presidential election

Presidential elections are scheduled to be held in Belarus in 2025 under the terms of the constitution. The president is directly elected to serve a five-year term.

Background
Mass protests erupted following the disputed outcome of the 2020 presidential elections in which incumbent Alexander Lukashenko claimed victory. Opposition candidate Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya subsequently claimed to have received between 60 and 70% of the vote and asked the international community to recognise her as the winner of the election.

On 17 August 2020, Lukashenko stated that the next presidential election could be held earlier than 2025 if a new constitution were to be adopted. Tsikhanouskaya stated that she was ready to lead a transitional government and to hold early elections under international supervision. Lukashenko also said that he will resign if a new constitution is adopted.

Candidates
On 25 February 2024, Alexander Lukashenko announced intentions of running for his seventh term in 2025.

Cookbook:Tiramisù

| Desserts | Italian Cuisine

Tiramisù means "cheer me up" in Italian and aptly describes this dessert traditionally made from savoiardi or ladyfingers or sponge cake, espresso coffee, mascarpone cheese, egg whites, yolk and sugar. The biscuits are sprinkled with strong coffee, and then embedded in a thick rich custard.

Ingredients

 * 4 egg whites
 * 2 egg yolks
 * 100 g (½ cup) white granulated sugar
 * 500 g (2 ½ cups) mascarpone cheese
 * 4 small coffee cups espresso coffee
 * 400 g of lady fingers (savoiardi) (or sponge cake)
 * Unsweetened cocoa powder

Procedure

 * 1) Make espresso coffee, and let it cool a bit.
 * 2) Separate the egg yolks and the whites of two eggs in two bowls.
 * 3) Beat sugar into the egg yolks.
 * 4) Beat the mascarpone into the sweetened yolks.
 * 5) Add two more egg whites to the other two and whip until they form stiff peaks.
 * 6) Gently fold egg whites into mascarpone mixture.
 * 7) Quickly dip both sides of the ladyfingers in the espresso.
 * 8) Layer soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone in a large bowl or pan (start with fingers, finish with mascarpone).
 * 9) Refrigerate for one hour or two.
 * 10) Sprinkle unsweetened cocoa powder on top just before to serve.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * Savoiardi are the traditional biscuits used with this recipe, rather than ladyfingers. Sponge cake can also be used.
 * Is common but not in original recipe use marsala wine (or brandy or cognac)or Amaretto di sarono with the coffee.
 * Cream can be used as an alternative to Mascarpone cheese. Whip ¾–1 pint of double cream until stiff peaks form, then add the sugar and continue from step 2.
 * Full-fat spread cheese can be used as an alternative to mascarpone; add some cream to taste.
 * There is also an Atkins friendly recipe.

Warnings

 * The raw eggs in this recipe are not heated as part of the recipe. Using already pasteurized eggs, or pasteurizing the eggs while following the recipe, may help avoid health hazards like salmonella.
 * In this recipe the term "ladyfingers" refers to a kind of biscuit or cake, not to okra.
 * Whether thickening with egg whites or cream, ensure it is stiff before adding to the other ingredients; if it is not stiff, the tiramisu will not set properly.

Japanese/Grammar/Adjectives

Japanese has two main classes of words that function the same as adjectives in English.

 * Pure adjectives (形容詞; けいようし)
 * Also known as い-adjectives these are distinctive as their attributive form always ends with the syllable "い". Many nouns (such as 白 (しろ e. the colour white) become pure adjectives when appended with an い: 白い (しろい, e. white). Learners must beware, though, because several な-adjectives also end with the same い when rendered in kana (e.g. きらい, きれい).
 * Examples of pure adjectives are the colours 赤い (あかい, e. red) and 青い (あおい, e. blue), 高い (たかい, e. high, tall) 小さい (ちいさい, e. small), 重い (おもい, e. heavy) and 軽い (かるい, e. light).

 * Adjectival nouns (形容動詞; けいようどうし)
 * Also known as な-adjective these are grammatical nouns that form adjectives when affixed with "〜な". Technically, the な pseudoparticle comes from a contraction of "なる", the attributive form of the classical Japanese copula "なり".
 * Examples of adjectival nouns are 綺麗 (きれい, e. pretty), 静か (しずか, e. quiet) and 素敵 (すてき, e. lovely).

Basic conjugations
Like verbs, we can enumerate some common conjugations of adjectives.

It should not come as a surprise that the な-adjectives — being grammatical nouns — "conjugate" by having the copula added. Exceptions are the plain present positive, where the copula is omitted, and the polite past negative which has an alternative reading. The い-adjectives have a somewhat simple conjugation pattern. The politeness is only determined by whether the (polite present positive, in all tenses) copula is added.

More forms
It can be useful to define a few stem forms for adjectives as these form building blocks for other forms.

These then form the following derived forms:

Adjectives too are governed by euphonic rules in certain cases. For the polite negatives of adjectival nouns, see also the section below on the copula.

Imperative
The imperative form is extremely rare in modern Japanese, restricted to set patterns like (e. sooner or later) where they are treated as adverbial phrases! It is impossible for an imperative form to be in a predicate position.

Hypotheticals
The conditional and provisional forms are used to make conditional statements. There is a slight nuance to the two which is discussed further in the conditionals lesson.

Basic Verbs & Conjugations
This section will focus on a selection of useful and important French verbs and how to conjugate them in the present tense.

In terms of pronunciation, it is important to note that in French, one says "ay" (as in the "ei" of weigh) for the ending "-er.'>

Aimer -> to like, to love Manger -> to eat Jouer -> to play Regarder -> to watch

All four of those verbs are regular "er" verbs. That is, the ending is -er. The root verb is therefore the word minus the -er. So for aimer, the root is aim-. Regular "er" verbs are conjugated as follows:

Je root + '-e' Tu root + '-es' Il/elle/on -root + 'e' Nous root + '-ons' * Vous root + '-ez' Ils/elles root + -'ent'

 * The exception is with a verb like manger. Because the root is mang-, to maintain the soft "g", the nous form is conjugated: Nous mangeons.

Try this exercise!

Directions: Try to conjugate the following verbs.

1. Je (aimer) l'hiver. (I like winter) 2. Vous (regarder) les films souvent. (You watch films often) 3. Nous (manger) des frites. (We eat fries or We're eating fries) 4. Tu (jouer) au foot. (You play soccer) 5. Il (aimer) son prof. (He likes his teacher) 6. Elles (manger) de la glace. (They eat ice cream or They're eating ice cream)

Ready for the answers? They will appear at the bottom of the page.

A suivre! (To be continued!)

1. aime 2. regardez 3. mangeons 4. joues 5. aime 6. mangent

Expanding this article
There is some work that could be done on this article. First, the section on the 2002 Governor's race can be expanded and set up as a seperate section like the 2006 race. Also there has been a lot of flap about Saxton's alledged connections with Neil Goldschmidt (whether they are true and to what extent I'm not sure). Also he has take a lot of flap about his connections with the Oregonian (the newspaper). These are just some ideas of things that can be looked into. Davidpdx 07:30, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Your statement, "I deleted "Saxton Watch," because it is unfair to the Saxton campaign" makes me thing that you are directly involved in the campaign. If this is true, you should not be editing the Saxton article or any other article having to do with the Governor's race in Oregon.

I certainly do NOT work for him, but I am offended when people violate the NPOV agreement. This is not the first time you have been accused of being belligerent or outlandish. You certainly do not own Wikipedia, and your idle threats are inexcusable. Saxton’s opponent, Ted Kulongoski, has no such site criticizing him on Wikipedia. In fact, the “Saxton Watch” site leads right to the Democratic Party’s webpage. You have broken the NPOV and I call on you to delete the “Saxton Watch” link.
