Python Concepts/Operators

Operations
There are certain things that you can do with all of the types. You can do simple math, index, slice, and check for membership. You can also use the Format Specifier in strings.

Simple Math
Math is very straightforward in Python. + adds, - subtracts, / divides, and believe it or not * multiplies. The main thing to comment on is %. % performs a division and then returns the remainder. This is called the modulus operation.

Type:

Now Type:

The % command can be used to find out if something is even or odd or if it is a multiple of some number. Here is some code that may be a little advanced for you right now. Just type it in and know that within a couple of lessons you will understand it fully. When you type  it must be indented greater than the last line. For example, we need to indent the code by at least one spaces or tab.

Like C++ or Java, Python knows 2 different types of "Equality" ("="): Equality as a command or assignment of a value ( meaning make variable   equal 2); and Equality in conditions or tests ("if a == 2 ..." meaning that variable a is checked and not assigned). In the first case, use the single equal-sign "="; in the second case use the double equal-sign "==".

Type:

You can also use variables, and elements and values in simple arithmetic.

Type:

That is how the variable works.

Type:

This is how you use elements from a list to preform arithmetic operations. It should be clarified that x[0] = 1, x[1] = 2, and x[2] = 3.

You can also add and multiply strings, tuples, and lists. Type:

That is how you do arithmetic with values from a dictionary. Don't forget to use quotations around the keys unless you use integers as the keys. Spend a couple of minutes messing around with this stuff, its fun and it'll help you remember it better. You may also add strings, tuples, and lists.

Concatenating
To add two strings together - to do this you just type the first string, an addition sign, the second string.

Type:

You can do the same with variables referring to strings. Type:

You can do the same with tuples. Type:

It works the same with lists. What you cannot do is combine two different kinds of types. Type:

Multiplying types
Multiplying is very easy and straight forward. Type:

Now with a tuple. Type:

You cannot do the same with dictionaries; that would make multiple keys with the same entry name, which isn't valid in Python.

Type:

Indexing
You have already learned how to index in lesson 2. When you typed x[3] you were indexing. You may also index a string without first making a variable represent it.

Type:

simple enough.

Slicing
Slicing is used to access a range of elements the way that indexing accesses one element.

Type:

The numbers that you enter after the variable (the [14:32]) are called indices. The way the last one works is hard to understand at first. I'll do another example to make it clear.

Type: It prints out the 2 because it starts numbering at 0, but the reason it prints out the 3 instead of the 4 is because it counts the  that you entered as the end point and does not include it. Seems weird at first but easy to get used to.

You may also use negative numbers as the indices. If you only use one negative index  Python will print starting with the element selected and go until the end of the string, tuple or list. This works for positive indices as well. Python will print the first 3 elements of.

Another thing that you can do when splicing is enter the step index. Type:

You may also just use the step index. Type:

You can do this to find every other element or every third or whatever your needs require. You may also make the step index negative. By doing so you make the elements return starting with the last one.

Type:

To reverse a string (or any sequence):

When the step index is negative it is important to remember to make sure that the first index is calling an element that comes later in the string, tuple or list than the second element. Just as in the last example  is representing   while   is representing.

The Format Specifier
You are going to use this versatile command constantly. Type: What the percent sign does is hold the place in the string and let you tell Python what to put there at the end of the string. The s behind the % tells Python to expect any input. If you neglect the s, Python will automatically assume it to be %d, which causes Python to expect a numerical value. Be sure to define it correctly, or the script won't work.

Talk:Trump–Ukraine scandal

Accuracy of opening statement.
This article would be more accurate if you said it was an “alleged political scandal”, none of it was ever proven, and in retrospect, President Trump's assertions appear to be true. BrainiacOne (talk) 17:54, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * which of his assertions now appear to be true? soibangla (talk) 18:11, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * “The Trump–Ukraine scandal was a U.S. political scandal that arose from the discovery of U.S. President Donald Trump's attempts to coerce Ukraine and other countries into providing damaging narratives about 2020 Democratic Party presidential candidate Joe Biden and giving misinformation relating to Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.”  This assertion is false.  The following Wikipedia page, Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, states  "The Special Counsel's report, made public in April 2019, examined numerous contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian officials but concluded that there was insufficient evidence to bring any conspiracy or coordination charges against Trump or his associates. James Risen claims that he wrote about the story here, https://theintercept.com/2019/09/25/i-wrote-about-the-bidens-and-ukraine-years-ago-then-the-right-wing-spin-machine-turned-the-story-upside-down/., Risen states "On Wednesday, the White House released a summary of the July conversation between Trump and Zelensky, in which Trump told the Ukrainian leader to work with Attorney General William Barr and Giuliani to find out what happened between the Biden's and a Ukrainian prosecutor. “There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that, so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great,” Trump told Zelensky, according to the summary. “Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution, so if you can look into it … It sounds horrible to me.”  Trump never pressured anyone, he was obviously investigating a scandal, which has been confirmed by the Ukrainian prosecutor, and then Ukrainian leader Poroshensky.  In an audio taped conversation between Biden and Poroshensky, Poroshensky goes out of his way to note that he had complied with Biden's demands and that he had dismissed the prosecutor, despite the fact that he had done nothing wrong.  Biden agreed and then went on to say that the loan to Ukraine would proceed, an obvious quid pro quo. Biden boasted of the quid pro quo at the Council On Foreign Relations as well, and Congress is investigating the matter at this time, as a case of illegal extortion by Biden.  BrainiacOne (talk) 00:39, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, Congress is investigating the matter as a case of bribery, not extortion, my error. The opening statement is factual in that there was a scandal, however, the scandal has since been labeled “the Russia collusion hoax”, see https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2023/05/17/durham-report-vindicates-trump-fbi-russia-investigation/70222344007/ BrainiacOne (talk) 00:56, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Opinion pieces tend not to be very encyclopedic. DN (talk) 01:26, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I feel like I just watched a Hannity opening monologue. soibangla (talk) 01:30, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with what Brainiac is saying. Remember the media used the phrase "digging for dirt" against a Political opponent. However, the use of the word dirt is too generic as it does not state if the dirt is real evidence or not, but rather presumes it is made up. It seems as if Trump kept getting into trouble for investigating prior administration's actions irrespective of whether or not the allegations were true. Also, Biden had not yet officially stepped into the race, therefore he was not a Political Rival. Another aspect is how the media made the words of Marie Yovanovitch and Alexander Vindman, subordinates to the President, as having more importance than the President. Just what was the actual scandal, the scandal appeared to be based on what the mainstream media wanted the scandal to be. Consider this, if Trump was going to make up fake evidence, then let him make it up, and then the impeachment charge carries so much more merit he may have actually been removed from Office. Instead, Trump was stopped from investigating, and that seems very suspicious. 2605:E000:2FC0:21:282B:78CA:1FFA:71BB (talk) 22:44, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Suggesting changes to image location and pronouns
Suggestion №1: I think the image of Marie Yovanovitch which is currently in the "Communications with Ukrainian officials" section should be moved to the section "Campaign against Marie Yovanovitch". The images of other people in this article are also in the respective sections about them.

Suggestion №2: Use gender neutral pronouns when talking about the whistleblower(s). In some sections the whistle blower is already referred to as "they", but in some other instances "he/she" or "he" are used. The latter two should be changed to "they", imo. The non-gender neutral pronouns are in use starting from the "Whistleblower complaints" section. Here are the sentences where I've noticed it:

"the individual notified the CIA of his/her concerns, which were then relayed to the White House and Justice Department"

"Due to threats against him, the whistleblower spent several months guarded by the CIA's Security Protective Service, living in hotels and traveling with armed officers in an unmarked vehicle."

"After the whistleblower had informed the CIA's general counsel of his concerns, he grew troubled by "how that initial avenue for airing his allegations through the CIA was unfolding", according to The New York Times. He then contacted an aide" Nakonana (talk) 00:03, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Claims that the Trump-Zelenskyy conversation was recorded?
Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed, as recently as March 2024, that his July 25, 2019 phone call with Volodymr Zelenskyy was recorded, that the recording vindicates his claim of exoneration in this matter, and that his political opponents, notably California Congressman Adam Schiff, have listened to this recording and thus are lying about the nature of the call. It's not clear whether any such recording exists, but certainly no recording has ever been released to the public -- and it wasn't introduced as evidence by Trump's legal team during his impeachment or Senate trial. Still, is the fact that the man at the heart of this scandal insists, more than four years later, that an exculpatory recording exists something that should be added to this article? And if so, what is the correct way to source such a statement? It's easy to find Trump referencing it in various speeches he's made on Youtube (including one in Dayton, Ohio today), but I haven't noticed this being reported in a reputable news outlet (although certainly it may have happened without my noticing it). NME Frigate (talk) 06:03, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed many false things. If the call was recorded, it would have been done by his NSC staff and he could/would have declassified it during his impeachment to prove it was a "perfect call" to exonerate himself. soibangla (talk) 06:30, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Indeed. But we can't speculate about what he would have done. We can, however, note things he's said about this subject if they're notable. I think these comments reach that level -- although I would certainly be interested in hearing other perspectives -- and was also wondering about how to cite them.
 * And lo! I'm not saying that someone on CNN was reading this talk page, but there's new reporting there today, not 12 hours after I raised the question, on this very subject, so that answers that part of my question:
 * https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/17/politics/fact-check-trump-ukraine-zelensky-call-pelosi/index.html NME Frigate (talk) 19:10, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * We should not add his claim that there is an exculpatory recording. It's just another of his lies. We have the transcript, released shortly after the call, which confirms he was seeking a quid pro quo. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:26, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * We should document the false claim and the facts by using that RS. -- Valjean (talk) ( PING me ) 19:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Quick question
Which president signed off on the Ukraine aid Trump tried to withhold and thus it led to his first impeachment? Ss0jse (talk) 20:27, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Trump's call to Zelenskky
Trump called, rightfully so, to discuss Ukraine investigating Burisma Energy, and Hunter Biden's seat on the board, and being paid $83,000.00 monthly. Trump thought it worth investigating as to why Hunter Biden was seated, and asked Zelenskky to investigate Burisma Energy. 2601:280:C200:F340:6058:3041:982D:3232 (talk) 14:08, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

 * And threatened to withhold Congressionally approved funds if he didn't do so. That's the part that was an impeachable offense. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:21, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * In light of the $10B damages caused by CrowdStrike's latest shenanigans, maybe it's worth reinvestigating their alleged clean hands of years ago... <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:54, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * That makes no sense, what does CrowdStrike have to do with this? And Wikipedia is not an investigative news organization anyway. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:03, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Whole Life Tariff Ruled Not Contrary to European Law Article 3
Judgment July 23, 2008

The Crown submitted that the Strasbourg court had not held that an irreducible whole life order necessarily violated article 3 and that, in any event, a whole life order was not irreducible because there was always the possibility that a prisoner subject to such an order might nonetheless be released under section 30 of the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997. Therefore the imposition of a whole life sentence did not result in inhuman or degrading treatment, contrary to Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:14, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

 * No, he was a police officer working in the West Yorkshire force's traffic division. The latter now seem to be generally known as Road Policing Units and are analagous with the American highway patrol. Police traffic wardens are technically civilians who do not have police powers, who only deal with parking offences, but most forces phased them out after 1991 law changes which devolved their role to local municipal authorities.

PHP/Variables

Variables, as mentioned briefly in Introduction to PHP, are a significant feature of any programming language. They can be used to store all forms of data, and are generally required to perform multiple manipulations on data not hard-coded into a script. This lesson will introduce the basics of variables in PHP.

Basic syntax
In PHP, all variables can be identified by the $ at the beginning of their name. Variables name generally start with a lowercase letter, however this can vary for special variables, which will be explained later. To understand how variables work, take this example:

Here is the same example using variables instead:

Dynamic typing
A number of other high profile languages (C and C++, for example) use static variable typing. This means that variables have to be given a data type (e.g. number, string of letters, boolean TRUE or FALSE) that will remain the same until they are destroyed.

This is often useful, however PHP does away with static typing and dynamically converts variable types when needed. As explained in the Introduction to PHP article, PHP has different syntax for numbers and strings, however due to PHP's dynamically typed nature, strings can be treated as numbers when needed. Take the following example:

In this instance, we are multiplying the number 42 (in a string variable) by pi to a certain number of decimal places. PHP automatically converts '42' to 42 (a string to an integer). Conversion of clearly abnormal data can produce unexpected results, however. Take the following example:

Depending on the PHP configuration, PHP may convert '4string2' to integer values before multiplying it by pi, with unexpected results. (On some PHP versions everything after the '4' is ignored and the result is approximately 12.56)

Variable types
These are the main types of variables you will be dealing with:

 * int – Short for integer. Holds any integer, i.e. a whole numerical value (no decimal places—however, if an int is assigned a number with a decimal place, it will be converted to a float automatically)
 * float – Abbreviation of floating point value. Holds any integer with a decimal place, to a certain precision (generally 32 digits)
 * double – Abbreviation of double precision floating point. Same as above except with far more precision—however, a double value also takes up twice as much memory (generally 8 bytes—obviously insignificant on modern servers)
 * string – Holds any array of characters, i.e. a sentence (or two). Generally has an infinite length; however, for compatibility with older servers, limit the size of strings to 32768 characters. Strings are surrounded with single quotes when used in PHP.
 * boolean – Can either be true or false, many functions return true or false

Declaration
In a lower-level language like C++, the declaration of the type of each variable is needed. For example, the following code in PHP:

Does not explicitly define the type of variable a. Of course, the PHP runtime environment recognizes during execution of this line that the programmer provided a string literal as the value for the variable. If you want to do the same in C++, you would would have to explicitly declare the variable type:

Additional equivalent statements combining declaration and initialization of a variable with the same value would be:

Notice that C++ requires explicit variable declaration (including variable type) whereas PHP does not. However, it is good practise to declare all variables, as if they are not declared PHP defaults their value to FALSE (0, empty etc.). This is because PHP is a dynamically typed language, and as a result neither type casting nor declaration is enforced. The following is possible:

Scope
Scope refers to what can actually modify a variable, e.g:

The page 'another_page.php' has full access to the variable 'var'. OUTPUT-> The above would output nothing, since functions have their own scope, variables outside that scope would not be available.

Globals
You can force functions to access other variables by using the global keyword, e.g:

Would output: Test

Or you can use the $GLOBALS array, like this:

Static Variables
Static variables exist within a function and are saved after the function executes, e.g:

If the variable 'a' was not static, it would echo 0 each time.

Referencing
On a sidenote, a less used feature of PHP (and, indeed, many lower level programming languages) is memory address referencing. The idea is that every variable is stored at a certain address in memory. Now, say you wanted to have a variable that always remained the same values as another, you could just store point it at the same address - any changes at that address, i.e. any change to the value of the first variable, would be reflected in the other variable. Examine the following:

Marra Developments Ltd v BW Rofe Pty Ltd

Marra Developments Ltd v BW Rofe Pty Ltd, is a NSW Court of Appeal case on Australian company law, and is an authority for the proposition that an interim dividend was revocable until the dividend was paid, a declared final dividend was a debt payable by the company to the shareholder from the date stipulated for payment.

BW Rofe Pty Ltd was a shareholder in Marra Developments, which had declared a dividend. When the time came for the payment of the dividend, the directors of Marra declined to make payment. Marra had profits available when it declared the dividend. However, between the declaration of the dividend and the date upon which it was to be paid, the assets of Marra were revalued. The revaluation caused a diminution in the book value of Marra's assets which wiped out the company's profit for the year.

Marra obtained a declaration from the Supreme Court that the shareholder was not entitled to payment of the dividend, and the shareholder appealed to the Court of Appeal.

The Court of Appeal, Moffitt P, Hutley and Mahoney JJA, unanimously upheld the appeal, holding that profits need only be available at the time the dividend is declared, not at the time when it is to be paid. Hutley JA held that an interim dividend was entirely provisional and anticipates the profits to be disclosed in the final accounts. In relation to a final dividend, as the dividend became payable on declaration, each shareholder became entitled to be paid the debt thereby created. Marra had argued that the subsequent events meant the dividend would not be payable out of profits. Hutley JA held that:

If from the profit and loss account ... there is sufficient to permit the declaration of the dividend, the losses between the end of the financial year in which these accounts are produced cannot be used to prevent, on legal grounds, the declaration and payment of a dividend, unless the subsequent revealed losses invalidate the accounts themselves. Any other approach makes the right of a shareholder to a dividend which has been declared entirely capricious.

Talk:WWA World Heavyweight Championship

Notes on last edit
Just some style notes to clear up the correction on the last edit. Only the first word of a section should be capitalized excusing proper nouns, hence "Title history" is correct over "Title History" (see WP:MOS). When the title is vacated, it should be logged in the history with just a "Vacated", no bold or italicized, see List of WWE Champions for a good example. Unless it is in the WWE, you should not use Triple Threat of Fatal Four Way as they are trademarks of the WWE; in any other promotion it's simply a Three Way or Four Way Match. That's all.

This seems POV
"The title was sanctioned by WWA as their world title and defended in multiple countries, making it a legitimate, if short-lived, world championship."

What is or isn't a world title is a highly contentious issue (just go to any message board and start a discussion on WWE's ECW title and see) so claiming the WWA title as "legitimate" seems to be a bit too POV for a wiki article. Legitimacy of pro wrestling titles is in the eye of the beholder.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:00, 17 November 2009 (UTC).
 * The company decides if their title is a world title. If they billed it as a world title, then it is a world title.-- Will C  20:49, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Road Dogg's WWA World Heavyweight Championship reign
For years, this victory apparently occurred on October 19, 2001, and was supported by a Solie.org cite:. <IP_ADDRESS> is intent on removing Road Dogg's WWA reign, claiming that it never happened. After a series of unsupported reverts, he finally produced this OWOW cite:. Since there's no mention of the title being defended on the card, he uses that as his justification for Road Dogg never having won the title.

After some investigation, it seems that the date on the Solie cite may be incorrect. OWOW does indeed report Road Dogg as having won the WWA title, but on October 23:. The Internet Wrestling Database, Profightdb.com, also supports this:. As for now, I've placed both dates in the Brian Gerard James and WWA World Heavyweight Championship articles, with cites supporting both dates. Hopefully we can establish consensus. Given that OWOW and the IWDB are reporting James as a WWA Champion, I've no doubt that it happened: establishing the correct date is the only issue. I think the Solie cite has possibly confused the date of the first WWA event (19), with the date of the first WWA Championship reign (23). <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 08:14, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

See the Brian James page for my reply. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:52, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Primary topic?
A previous thread on this talk page acknowledges this as a short-lived title for a short-lived promotion. There are many articles containing "WWA (World) Heavyweight Championship" in their title, yet there is no hatnote atop this article and no disambiguation page that I could find. Is this article truly the primary topic? It seems it's being treated as such solely on account of when the promotion existed and/or who was involved with it. IMO, the Indianapolis and Los Angeles titles had far more long-term impact. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 03:06, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Jupiter and Antiope (David)

Jupiter and Antiope is a painting of unknown date, showing Jupiter and Antiope. On the reverse is a sketch of a young woman. It is possibly attributed to the French painter Jacques-Louis David, though the attribution is difficult since David disowned most of the works he produced as a young man.

David gave this painting to his cousin Marie-Françoise Baudry and her husband. Her grandson Adolphe Guillon left it to the musée de Sens on his death in 1896 where it is now held. It was published in 1911 by Charles Saunier.

Blender for Game Graphics and Animation

We can use some expertise here so please edit extra boldly.

Getting Started With Blender
There is a whole set of booksBlender under development at Wikibooks. The authors probably welcome questions or clarification regarding specific issues that may cause us problem. There is also a Blender portal started here at Wikiversity which at the moment merely points to pretty good tutorial at Wikibooks.

The software and manuals may be downloaded from the Blender site maintained by the Blender Foundation.

New to 3D art creation
Creating and manipulating 3D objects using a mouse and a keyboard is much more complex than drawing a 2D image with a mouse. The new user might expect that the software would be like a paint or photo-image application in which the user selects a tool by clicking and alters the image before selecting the next tool but with 3D it is nessecary to hold and move the object, spin it around in different directions, alter its size or part of its size, select specific areas on different sides and move, rotate or alter the shape in a precise manner. Simple two-button mouse control is just not quick enough for that sort of manipulation so to use Blender 3D you will need one hand on your keyboard at all times so that you can hold a button down for each type of manipulation. It is quite easy once you learn a few key-commands but to the adept Paint or Photoshop user who expects to create lovely sculptures using a mouse and the power of intuition will most likely think the program is very difficult or not working for them. It is actually quite fast and easy to learn especially if you keep a note of the key-commands you are likely to use and can reference some good step by step instructions. Often in the Blender community they say that Blender is "non-intuitive" which is quite accurate but also driving a stick-shift car and knitting by hand is non-intuitive even though little old grannies do it easily so it should become easy. Blender has been embraced widely by amateur and commercial developers and has added extraordinary capability since going open source on July 18th, 2002 with several Disney-quality animated movies being freely released to date. It imports and exports in a wide variety of file formats including the old 3ds from 3DStudio which is accessible by export from the newer versions of 3DSMax and has a vast range of texturing options for more complex tasks. Blender is free to download and has extensive tutorials online. A 60MB PDF user manual can be dowloaded from the Blender.org site covering almost all functions. If you want a highly capable free open source environment for anything from making coloured spheres and boxes to commericial grade computer graphic animation Blender may be an excellent option for you.

Images of Models Available under Free License
For testing purposes in developing this learning trail a set of models used in a virtual airport product will be released under both the GFDL and the Creative Commons 2.5 here by the producer Mirwin 20:13, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

This is a jpg from the front view of the firestation bay to show the models. These were created in 3DSMax, exported to 3ds file format then imported into blender. At this time I am a novice with Blender but the saved blend file is of a size to indicate the model reconstruction information was successfully imported. If someone knowledgeable with Blender and its use can help us sort this import/export reuse out. I, mirwin, have a substantial set of additional models which will be released to this learning trail under both the GFDL and the CC2.5 to help new participants get started. These sets and models including aircraft, ground service vehicles, national guard unit vehicles, warehouses, and miscellaneous models and sets created by a team of six professionals over a period of about 5 man years. Mirwin 20:13, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Acquiring Firestation bay models
Wikiversity is not setup to handle blend or zip files yet, if ever. If someone wants the associated blend files to play with email user:mirwin and I will send the 5MB file to you. Once our cisLunarFreighter class learning project is setup at sourceforge we can place zips of the .blend files and other art, code, design specification and documention there.

William H. Wiley

William Halsted Wiley (July 10, 1842 – May 2, 1925), was an American Republican Party politician who represented New Jersey's 8th congressional district from 1903 to 1907 and from 1909 to 1911, and was also a co-founder and former president of the publishing company John Wiley & Sons.

Education
Wiley was born in New York City on July 10, 1842. In 1861 he graduated from the College of the City of New York in 1861 and proceeded to enter the Union Army in 1860 as a member of the Seventh New York Volunteers. He was promoted to first lieutenant of Volunteers in 1862 and mustered out with the rank of brevet major in 1864 by the consolidation of his regiment. After successful Artillery commanding and the end of the war he went to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He was one of the first members of the Theta Xi fraternity's Alpha chapter at Rensselaer and remained involved in that fraternity for 60 years. After graduating with a degree in engineering he attended the Columbia College School of Mines in 1868. There he was engaged in civil engineering and also as a superintendent of a mine for several years and a member of the township committee of East Orange, New Jersey from 1886 to 1888, and president one year. Actively involved in politics, he was also president of one of the juries at the International Exposition in Brussels and a member of the superior jury appointed by the Governor of New Jersey a member of the commission for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis, Mo., in 1904.

Congressional stay
Wiley was first elected as a Republican to the 58th Congress as a representative for New Jersey and re-elected to the 59th Congress (March 4, 1903 – March 4, 1907). His run for re-election in 1906 was unsuccessful, however. But he did manage a re-election the next term into the 61st Congress (March 4, 1909 – March 4, 1911). After another unsuccessful bid for reelection in 1910, he moved on to work with his family in founding a publishing company in New York City.

Publishing company
In 1876, he entered the publishing business with his father and brother, co-founding a firm under the name of John Wiley & Sons. The family company began by publishing works by authors such as Cooper, Emerson, Melville, and Poe. Once in charge, Wiley phased out all publishing programs not concerned with science and technology and established the firm as America's premier publisher of scientific and technical books. By 1895 the company became a worldwide organization, distributing American scientific knowledge around the globe.

Wiley died in East Orange on May 2, 1925.

Project Proposal Input: Questions: 1.	Yes and no. It links to Public Administration and Woodrow Wilson. 2.	It definitely needs more links associated with other public admin figures, the relation they have to certain political figures or institutions and it could have links to examples of the dichotomy maybe media relations or even historical events.

Article evaluation: The article itself is a brief intro into the dichotomy of Public Administration. It brings to light the history of administration to the time of Woodrow Wilson’s office, the advantages of having a solid public administration foundation and its importance to a substantially solid political system, and it addresses the criticisms revolving around the definition of the dichotomy.

As we all know with any analysis, there is more to a subject than can be described in five subtopics. The article starts by stating that “The Politics-Administration Dichotomy is a theory that constructs the boundaries of public administration and asserts the normative relationship between elected officials and administrators in a democratic society”. A definition that is far too general and weak. Although, the only high profile elected official it points to further in the article is Woodrow Wilson. It fails to address any modern or even other historical figures that can set as an example to the dichotomy. There are many other figures that could at least show to have addressed the dichotomy of PA. For instance if the dichotomy theory is a relationship between officials and administrators, it should address modern examples such as the relationship between the current president and his nominated/appointed house administrators.

Something else the article fails to address is the importance, based on history, of public administration in the political structure. For instance, Montesquieu stated that “a society is essentially defined by its political regime (Harris, “The Scope and Characteristics of Public Administration”).” Montesquieu also discussed that a form of government is can be influenced by a variety of factors – customs, psychology, and climate (Harris).

As I said at the beginning, the article is a brief, or rather, intro into the model of public administration. It addresses the necessary material needed to see where public administration came from but it is not at the needed level to understand how it relates to the public, administrations, and the political sciences.

The article should include these subtopics: History Evolution Advantages Disadvantages/Criticisms Connection to modern political sciences (such as modern examples or events)

“At the heart of the practice of public administration is the relationship between administrators, on one hand, and political leaders and the public on the other hand.” The modern debate on the dichotomy of public administration is the connection between the political leaders and the administrators. In the past history review, Woodrow Wilson played a key role in this idea. In modern day, especially with the rapidly progressing advancement of technology, we are finding that the connection is growing closer. Presently there has been a switch from political leaders and the public being on the opposite hand to the administrators to the administrators working hand in hand with the public. Administrators have become increasingly more necessary when interacting and creating a political adaptable interaction with the public. The modern debate on the dichotomy is whether it favors the public sector having the administrators working more closely to their side or does it actually benefit the greater with the administrators working more with the political leaders. Many would argue that administrators, regardless of their specialty in working with the public, need to be more closely connected to the political leaders. This highlight of the modern affect of the PA Dichotomy is primarily bringing to the surface the third party involved in Public Administration, the public. Regardless, either hand to which the public administrator is on, they will intuitively aid both the political leader and the public sector because ultimately they are the connection between the two.

The notion of separation of powers is not only present when considering the three branches of government but also regard the separation between administrators, the public, and elected officials. Around the 19th century we saw the first step to a change in the outline of public administration, and soon after we gathered that an alteration was occurring in the foundation of what we believe public administration to be. Yet, there is still a notion of a separation of powers being included in the realm of PA. As stated in the primary paragraph, the main focus is on this change of administrators no longer being separated but rather being closer to both sides of the spectrum and dealing with both the public and elected officials.

English in Use/Adjectives

An adjective is a word added to a noun or pronoun, and generally expresses quality: as, A wise man; a new book; you two are diligent. Adjectives may be divided into six classes; namely, common, proper, numeral, pronominal, participial, and compound.

A common adjective is any ordinary epithet, or adjective denoting quality or situation: as, good, bad, peaceful, warlike, eastern, western, outer, inner.

A proper adjective is an adjective formed from a proper name: as, American, English, Platonic, Genoese.

A numeral adjective is an adjective that expresses a definite number: as, one, two, three, four, five, six, etc.

A pronominal adjective is a definitive word which may either accompany its noun, or represent it understood: as,

 * "All join to guard what each desires to gain."—Pope.

That is,

 * "All men join to guard what each man desires to gain."

A participial adjective is one that has the form of a participle, but differs from it by rejecting the idea of time: as,

 * "An amusing story,"
 * "A lying divination."

A compound adjective is one that consists of two or more words joined together, either by the hyphen or solidly: as, nut-brown, laughter-loving, four-footed; threefold, lordlike, lovesick.

Cardinal: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, etc.

Ordinal: first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-first, twenty-second, etc.

Multiplicative: single or alone, double or twofold, triple or threefold, quadruple or fourfold, quintuple or fivefold, sextuple or sixfold, septuple or sevenfold, octuple or eightfold, etc.

All that occur above decuple or tenfold, are written with a hyphen, and are usually of round numbers only: as, thirty-fold, sixty-fold, hundred-fold.

Adjectives word order
In English, multiple adjectives should follow a certain pattern as follows:

 * 1) opinion (e.g. lovely, fantastic)
 * 2) size (e.g. tiny, large)
 * 3) most other qualities (e.g. warm, tight)
 * 4) age (e.g. new, young)
 * 5) colour (e.g. red, beige)
 * 6) pattern (e.g. stripy, plain)
 * 7) nationality (e.g. Spanish, foreign)
 * 8) material (e.g. silk, cotton)

Although you generally shouldn't use more than 2 or 3 adjectives together it is possible to make a sentence like this:

 * "I just bought a lovely, large, warm, new, red, stripey, foreign, cotton sweater."

Modifications
Adjectives have, commonly, no modifications but the forms of comparison. Comparison is a variation of the adjective, to express quality in different degrees: as, hard, harder, hardest; soft, softer, softest.

There are three degrees of comparison; the positive, the comparative, and the superlative.

The 'positive degree is that which is expressed by the adjective in its simple form: as,

 * "An elephant is large; a mouse, small; a lion, fierce, active, bold, and strong."

The comparative degree is that which is more or less than something contrasted with it: as,

 * "A whale is larger than an elephant; a mouse is a much smaller animal than a rat."

The superlative degree is that which is most or least of all included with it: as,

 * "The whale is the largest of the animals that inhabit this globe; the mouse is the smallest of all beasts."—Dr. Johnson.

Those adjectives whose signification does not admit of different degrees, cannot be compared: as, two, second, all, every, immortal, infinite.

Those adjectives which may be varied in sense, but not in form, are compared by means of adverbs: as, fruitful, more fruitful, most fruitful; fruitful, less fruitful, least fruitful.

Regular comparison
Adjectives are regularly compared, when the comparative degree is expressed by adding er, and the superlative, by adding est to them: as, great, greater, greatest; mild, milder, mildest.

In the variation of adjectives, final consonants are doubled, final e is omitted, and final y is changed to i, agreeably to the rules for spelling: as, hot, hotter, hottest; wide, wider, widest; happy, happier, happiest.

The regular method of comparison belongs almost exclusively to monosyllables, with dissyllables ending in w or y, and such others as receive it and still have but one syllable after the accent: as, fierce, fiercer, fiercest; narrow, narrower, narrowest; gloomy, gloomier, gloomiest; serene, serener, serenest; noble, nobler, noblest; gentle, gentler, gentlest.

Comparison by adverbs
The two degrees of superiority may also be expressed with precisely the same import as above, by prefixing to the adjective the adverbs more and most: as, wise, more wise, most wise; famous, more famous, most famous; amiable, more amiable, most amiable.

The degrees of inferiority are expressed, in like manner, by the adverbs less and least: as, wise, less wise, least wise; famous, less famous, least famous; amiable, less amiable, least amiable. The regular method of comparison has, properly speaking, no degrees of this kind.

Nearly all adjectives that admit of different degrees, may be compared by means of the adverbs; but, for short words, the regular method is generally preferable: as, quick, quicker, quickest; rather than, quick, more quick, most quick.

Irregular comparison
The following adjectives are compared irregularly: good, better, best; bad, evil, or ill, worse, worst; little, less, least; much, more, most; many, more, most.

A short syntax
Adjectives relate to nouns or pronouns, as "Worldly enjoyments," except the following cases: an intervening verb, as "To err is human," arithmetical numbers, as "Four hundred and fifty-six men," an abstract adjective, as "Being sublime," and an adjective as abstract noun, as "Sensations of sublime."

An adjective is placed immediately before noun, as "Vain man," except the following cases: pronouns, as "They left me weary," other words, as "A mind conscious of right," an action, as "Virtue renders life happy," admiration, as "Goodness infinite," a verb, as "Truth stands independent," a prefix a, as afraid, the nature of a participle, as "The time then present," poetry, as "Isles atlantic," technical usage, as "Notary public," an adjective, as "A being infinitely wise," several adjectives, as "A woman, modest, sensible, and virtuous," empathy, as "Weighty is the anger," an adjective in predicate, as "We call the boy good," and an adjective as adverb, as "Particularly".

Lydia Jennings

Lydia L. Jennings is a Native American soil microbiologist and environmental scientist. Her research interests are soil health, environmental remediation, indigenous science, mining policy, and environmental data ownership by tribal nations. She works with organizations initiatives that support Indigenous geoscientists and the integration of geoscience with Indigenous knowledge. Her work is featured in the 2020 documentary Run to Be Visible, produced by Patagonia.

Early life and education
Jennings grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico and is a member of two indigenous tribes - the Huichol (Wixáritari) and Pascua Yaqui (Yoeme). Jennings received an associate of science in biology from Cabrillo College, and a bachelors of science in environmental science, technology and policy, with a minor in chemistry, from California State University, Monterey Bay. Jennings completed her Ph.D. from the University of Arizona in 2020, focusing on the identification and characterization of microbial indicators as tools to evaluate mine waste reclamation, with her minor research in American Indian Policy focusing on the laws around mining on federal lands to which tribes have ancestral claims.

Research career
Jennings main areas of research focus on fate, transport, and biogeochemistry of environmental pollutants, bioremediation, and environmental justice for underrepresented groups.

After completion of her undergraduate degree and before attending graduate school, Jennings worked for a couple of years studying water pollution at a field station in Big Sur in California. It was at this time Jennings began thinking about using her science skills to serve the places she was from, especially for topics such as environmental issues caused by mining. Her current work focuses on identifying soil health biogeochemical indicators of soil reclamation, in order to make modern mining reclamation more effective and cost efficient, while also tracking how policy has placed many mines on/or bordering tribal nations and extraction on public lands.

Jennings has been part of the Indigenous Food Knowledges Network (IFKN) and in June 2019 went to Alaska to visit the Chickaloon Village to learn about food and land systems. Jennings credits her involvement with the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) in graduate school for helping develop her research skills and to envision ways to honor Indigenous data sources and contributions, connecting the geosciences with cultural identity.

In addition to her international conference presentations on topics such as Biogeophysical Soil Constituents Associated with Revegetation Success of Reclaimed Mine Tailings in Southern Arizona, Jennings has presented on Indigenous data governance and Indigenous-led collaborations across biomes. Jennings utilized her time as an American Geophysical Union Voices of Science advocate "to increase visibility of Indigenous scientists, and how we are not just the “subject” of scientific inquiry, but rather, are continuing our traditions of scientific practices held within cultural and environmental knowledge."

When her May 2020 graduate education was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Jennings decided to run 50 miles in honor of the Indigenous scientists and knowledge keepers who came before her. Her run was recorded and produced as a 19-minute documentary titled Run to Be Visible and released on Patagonia's YouTube channel as part of their "Run to" series.

Jennings is often accompanied by her fieldwork assistant, a blue heeler named Salchicha whom she adopted in 2019.

Awards and honors
Jennings is the recipient of multiple institutional and national honors, including:

 * 2015 - National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow
 * 2018 - American Indian Science & Engineering Society's Rising Leader Award
 * 2019 - American Geophysical Union Voices for Science Fellow
 * 2019 - Native Nations Institute Indigenous Data Sovereignty Fellow
 * 2019 - Southwest Climate Adaptation Natural Resources Workforce Fellow

Wonderland (XTC song)

"Wonderland" is a single by XTC released in June 1983, written by Colin Moulding and taken from the album Mummer.

Unlike most of XTC's work - which usually features a more guitar-oriented sound - "Wonderland" is heavily laden with synthesizer textures, most of which came from a Prophet-5 (the band's main synthesizer at the time).

This was the only single issued in the U.S. by Geffen Records from the album.

A promotional music video was directed by Peter Sinclair.

This is one of the songs from the Mummer sessions to feature drummer Terry Chambers prior to his departure from XTC.

Andy Partridge has subsequently described "Wonderland" as one of Moulding's "most beautiful melodies".

Track listing

 * 1) "Wonderland" (Colin Moulding) – 3:50
 * 2) "Jump" (Andy Partridge) – 4:39

Personnel

 * Terry Chambers – drums
 * Dave Gregory – guitar
 * Colin Moulding – vocals, bass
 * Steve Nye – mini-korg
 * Andy Partridge – guitar
 * Mixed by Alex Sadkin and Phil Thornalley at RAK Studio Two

Nuri Dersimi

Mehmed Nuri Dersimi (1893 – 22 August 1973), also known as Baytar Nuri, was a Kurdish writer, revolutionary and intellectual.

Dersimi was born in March 1893 in the village Akpınar near Hozat, in the Sanjak Dersim. From 1899 he went to primary school in Hozat. After, he was sent to the military academy in Elazığ, but he was not happy there and asked to come back to his family. His father decided to move with his family to Harput in 1905, where Dersimi attended secondary school. There Dersimi was more comfortable. In 1907 the family moved again to Hozat, where Dersimi could stay with his uncle and visit the local boarding school. 1911 he traveled Istanbul by ship via Trabzon and began to study veterinary medicine. There he became a member of the Kurdish student society Hevi-Kürt Talebe Cemiyeti and 1912 he became the secretary of the Kürdistan Muhibban Cemiyeti.

During World War I, he worked as a military veterinarian in Erzincan. In Erzincan he was a witness of the massacres perpetrated against the Armenians. Because of his political activities, in 1916 he was sent to Kangal, in Sivas, where he married his wife Selvi. In 1917 he returned to Istanbul to finish his studies.

From 1919 to 1921 the Koçgiri rebellion took place, which Dersimi supported. He opposed the findings of Abdulkadir Ubeydullah and preferred independence to autonomy for the Kurds. In October 1920, he departed from Istanbul and travelled to the region of the Koçgiri tribe in the Erzincan Province, where he established several offices for the Society for the Rise of Kurdistan. But already in 1919, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk became aware of Dersimi's activities and offered him and Alisan, another prominent member of the Koçgiri tribe to be a candidate for the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, an offer they both refused to accept. After the suppression of the Koçgiri rebellion, Mustafa Kemal accused Dersimi of being responsible for the uprising and excluded him from an amnesty for the rebels. After this, Dersimi hid with Seyid Riza and taught people to write Kurdish in Latin letters and was a well-perceived notable amongst the Kurdish community. In 1931 the Turkish government pardoned Dersimi and gave him a farm in Holvenk. But the Turkish authorities still kept searching his house. Friends visited seldom, and Dersimi's situation became more difficult. Following a visit to Ankara, he demanded to be provided with a new home in the west of the country, a request which was denied. After he was summoned by the military commander Abdullah Aldoğan of the Fourth Inspectorate-General in the Dersim region, he became aware that he could not stay in Turkey any longer.

In summer 1937 he decided to flee first to Greece, after to Syria which at the time was under French Mandate. On the 11 September 1937 he crossed into Syria.

He had adopted several children in Syria, one of whom he named after Seyid Riza. His son Seyid Riza had a son as well who was named after his grandfather, Nuri Dersimi.

I've designed a new Portal for Irish. Because most of the content on here was non-language-related, I decided to create a combined Irish Studies portal with a tab for the Irish language and a tab for Irish cultural/area studies.

Because most of the discussions on here related to past versions of the Portal, I've archived them. The archive templates here on Wikiversity don't seem to work as I expected, but they're archived to: Portal talk:Irish/Archive 1. Chapka (discuss • contribs) 19:43, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Ballades (Ahmad Jamal album)

Ballades is the final album by American jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal. Consisting mostly of solo piano recordings, the album was recorded at the same time as the 2016 album Marseille. Jamal wrote of the album, "It includes my solo version of “Poinciana”, recorded between takes during our session for “Marseille”. My original version remains one of the most successful recordings in the history of instrumental music; and one of the most plagiarized."

Critical reception
In a review for KCRW, Tom Schnabel writes, "Ballades was released only at the insistence of Jamal’s executive producer, Seydou Barry, and we are fortunate to have it. Solo piano distills Jamal’s genius to its essence—a distillation involving a lifetime of creative imagination and superb musicianship. It amounts to the full evolution of a life in music from one of our greatest musical artists."

Dan Bilawsky writes for All About Jazz, "His calling cards—vamping moorings, dancing lines, intelligent restraint, mastery over time, orchestral visions, a Midas touch—all play a part in the production. Originals like "Because I Love You," with the in-and-out left hand ostinatos lighting the way, and "Whisperings," with both seductive and scampering charms, mark Jamal as a man wholly comfortable in his skin. … he remains a treasure capable of stirring passions without force or forced ambitions."

2019–20 Louisiana–Monroe Warhawks women's basketball team

The 2019–20 Louisiana–Monroe Warhawks women's basketball team represented the University of Louisiana at Monroe in the 2019–20 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Warhawks, led by first year head coach Brooks Donald-Williams, played their home games at Fant–Ewing Coliseum and were members of the Sun Belt Conference. They finished the season 3–26, 1–17 in Sun Belt play to finish in dead-last twelfth place. They failed to qualify for the Sun Belt women's tournament.

This was Donald-Williams' first season at the helm of the Warhawks teams following the firing of Jeff Dow in March 2019. She came to Louisiana–Monroe after assistant stints at Alabama, Southern Miss, Memphis, and Arkansas–Little Rock and a nine-year stint at the helm of McNeese State's program including four 20+ win seasons, two conference tournament championships, and one regular season championship at McNeese.

Portal:Learning objects

Welcome to the Wikiversity Center for the Study of Learning Objects. This is a content development project where participants create, organize and develop learning resources about learning objects.

Learning Objects (like all objects) are little packets, in this case, of educational material designed to be easy to produce, package, distribute, find, sort, use, and so on. What they are exactly, and how useful they are seems a bit subjective to me.

Many on-line services purport to be the "ideal" or "complete" repositories for these learning objects, so we might examine for ourselves what they are all about.

Learning projects
See: Learning Projects and the Learning model.

Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the learning project (learning projects are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing! We suggest the use of the learning project template (use "subst:Learning project boilerplate" on the new page, inside the double curved brackets – ).

Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.
 * Introduction to Learning Objects

Databases
Topic:Databases - Learning objects and their repositories require a knowledge of databases. We may develop a shared resource with a title something like Learning object database management or similar. (discuss)

"Due to interoperability concerns, all meta-information has to be stored in an application independent format. On the other hand, allowing the final user to efficiently perform arbitrary metadata queries is one of the most important goals of the repository. For meeting both requirements (...) a subset of the standard metadata [should be] stored in a relational database. The proposed mechanism is in no way restrictive, because complete LOM instances are also going to be stored as specified by the chosen standard binding."

Architecture

 * 1) Topic:Computer Architecture - Oriented toward hardware, but a good read
 * 2) Topic:Concurrency and Real-Time Programming - This is more toward the kind of architecture I wanna cover in our design labs later on.
 * Learning object metadata - Outline based on the IEEE 1484.12.1 – 2002 Standard for Learning Object Metadata

Labs
I think we can begin to craft some Wiki-fied learning object that are ripe for pickin'...
 * 1) Human—Machine Sonic user interface (SUI) - for use in Commputer-assisted translation User: Translation Department
 * 2) Musical Instruction Light tree - a set of colored lights (or color graphics) that cues musicians in real-time about their position and approaching changes during practice or performance - User: School:Music
 * 3) Bloom clock project - an attempt to create a language for discussing the bloom times of wildflowers and other plants that is neutral in respect to climate, region, and hemisphere.
 * 4) Wikiversity the Movie - a community-wide project to produce a promotional DVD that illustrates and describes Wikiversity.
 * 5) Learning Objects Brainstorm - Brainstorm - Users: Us (It seems the thread was archived, although I could not find it.)

Onward through the Fog
Juicy Future Topics to apply to education systems and Learning object development:
 * 1) Topic:Computational linguistics
 * 2) Topic:Scientific Computing
 * 3) Topic:Algorithms

Metadata
Metadata is required in order to describe learning objects, enabling learners and instructors to search, evaluate and utilize them. Standards compliance leads to a uniform style, enhancing the sharing, reuse, and exchange of metadata-described LO.

IEEE Learning Object Metadata (LOM) Standard emphasizes on the "minimal set of attributes needed to allow these Learning Objects to be managed, located, and evaluated"

Participants
I have no Earthly idea why anyone in their right mind would sign up for this, but here's a place to do so:
 * 1) CQ 17:33, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) w:Rjgodoy 12:11, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Radio Astronomy: Looking at space

Schumann Resonance
The phenomenon is named after W. O. Schumann, who predicted this phenomenon in the 1950s, and helped detect its existence.

CBR
The CBR was predicted by George Gamow, Ralph Alpher, and Robert Hermann in the 1940s and was accidentally discovered in 1964 by Penzias and Wilson, who received a Nobel Prize for this discovery. The CBR had, however, been detected and its temperature deduced in 1941, seven years before Gamow's prediction. Based on the study of narrow absorption line features in the spectra of stars, the astronomer Andrew McKellar wrote: "It can be calculated that the 'rotational' temperature of interstellar space is 2 K."

Of these experiments, the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite that was flown in 1989-1996 is probably the most famous and which made the first detection of the large scale anisotropies (other than the dipole). In June 2001, NASA launched a second CBR space mission, WMAP, to make detailed measurements of the anisotropies over the full sky. Results from this mission provide a detailed measurement of the angular power spectrum down to degree scales, giving detailed constraints on various cosmological parameters. The results are broadly consistent with those expected from cosmic inflation as well as various other competing theories, and are available in detail at NASA's data center for Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) [ed. see links below],

A third space mission, Planck, is to be launched in 2007. Unlike the previous two space missions, Planck is a collaboration between NASA and ESA (the European Space Agency).

CBR and Non-Standard Cosmologies

During the mid-1990's, the lack of detection of anisotropies in the CBR led to some interest in nonstandard cosmologies (such as plasma cosmology) mostly as a backup in case detectors failed to find anisotropy in the CBR. The discovery of these anisotropies combined with a large amount of new data coming in has greatly reduced interest in these alternative theories.

Some supporters of non-standard cosmology argue that the primodorial background radiation is uniform (which is inconsistent with the big bang) and that the variations in the CBR are due to the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect mentioned above (among other effects).

Nogales-Mariposa Port of Entry

The Nogales-Mariposa Port of Entry opened in 1973 to divert truck traffic away from the busy downtown Grand Avenue border crossing. It connects Arizona State Route 189 directly with Mexican Federal Highway 15D. All commercial traffic entering the United States at Nogales now enters through the Mariposa port of entry. The port facilities underwent a nearly $250 million renovation project between 2009 and 2014 to accommodate increasing traffic and to support new equipment and procedures. Renovation of roadways leading to the Mariposa Entry to reduce wait times for vehicles was begun in 2020 by the Arizona Department of Transportation, with expected completion in late 2021.
