Railtour

A railtour is a special train which is run in order to allow people to experience rail travel which is not normally available using timetabled passenger services. The 'unusual' aspect may be the route of the train, the destination, the occasion, specific sections of railway track (for example, freight-only lines), the locomotive hauling the train, the rolling stock (passenger carriages), or any combination of these. Organisers may own or hire locomotives or rolling stock, or tours may be organised by railway management or other bodies outside the railway fraternity. Perhaps the most famous railtour in England was the Fifteen Guinea Special, the last steam hauled main line train run by British Rail. Railtours are often identifiable through the use of a train headboard, often identifying the name of the specific tour or the tour operator. On TOPS, railtours are usually given a 1Zxx headcode. Exceptions to this rule include regularly scheduled railtours such as the Belmond British Pullman operated Venice-Simplon Orient Express trains.

Destination tours
A 'destination' railtour is often associated with a special event of railway significance. Open days or special events at heritage railway locations such as Barrow Hill Engine Shed and the West Somerset Railway have been destinations for railtours originating from large cities. Similarly, organisations such as the Crusader Union may hire a train to take a large number of people to a specific event.

Locomotive tours
A 'locomotive' railtour focuses on the type of locomotive hauling the train. This may be a preserved locomotive, a type not usually used for passenger trains, or a type of locomotive which normally works some distance from the chosen route. Railtours in the 1980s saw a Class 52 running to York and a Class 55 to Exeter.

Nostalgic tours
One type of railtour which is currently popular is the nostalgic excursion using a preserved train, or sometimes a train hired from a railway operator. Preserved steam locomotives are popular performers on UK railtours, sometimes covering 400 miles in one day at speeds of over 75 miles per hour. Train, branding and route are often chosen as to reflect a common theme, sometimes tracing an aspect of railway history. Railtours are organised both on a commercial basis and as a fund-raising method for railway preservation societies.

Track or route tours
A track or route railtour is focused on travelling over sections of railway track that are not used by scheduled passenger trains. Locations – such as Carne Point at Fowey, Cornwall – which have not seen passenger trains for several decades, or locations that have never had a public passenger service – such as the MOD depot at Long Marston – can be traversed by such trains.

Several established railtour operators include:
 * Branch Line Society
 * Belmond British Pullman
 * Deltic Preservation Society
 * Pathfinder Tours
 * Scottish Railway Preservation Society
 * Steam Dreams (operator of the Cathedrals Express railtours)
 * Orient Express British Train
 * Vintage Trains
 * West Coast Railways (operator of The Jacobite (steam train) railtours from Fort William to Mallaig, which runs on every weekday throughout the summer months, and the Scarborough Spa Express)

Former railtour operators include:
 * Compass Tours (defunct 2014)
 * Hertfordshire Rail Tours (defunct 2006)
 * Torbay Express (merged into Pathfinder)

Unschooling

Resource description
Unschooling is an educational philosophy and practice that considers traditional schooling as possibly detrimental to a person's education. Unschooling is usually classified as a subcategory of homeschooling that does not use a fixed curriculum. Without any curriculum dictating a student’s learning path, the child is free to explore what he or she finds naturally interesting.

See Unschooling.

StarSoldier

StarSoldier is a science fiction board wargame published by Simulations Publications, Inc. (SPI) in 1977.

Description
StarSoldier is a 2-player game in which one player controls invading aliens, and the other controls StarSoldiers defending the planet.

Components
The game box holds:
 * 22" x 34" paper hex grid map
 * 400 counters
 * rule book
 * two Level Record Charts
 * two six-sided dice

Publication history
In 1974, SPI published StarForce: Alpha Centauri, the first mass market science fiction game. It sold very well, staying on SPI's Top Ten Bestseller list for four years. As a result, SPI created two spin-off games, Outreach in 1976 and StarSoldier in 1977. StarSoldier was designed by Tom Walczyk, with artwork by Redmond A. Simonsen. When both Outreach and StarSoldier proved popular, SPI packaged them and Star Force in one box as StarForce Trilogy.

StarSoldier debuted on SPI's monthly Top 10 list at No. 9 two months before its release due to pre-publication orders. When it was published in January 1977, it immediately rose to No. 1, and stayed on SPI's Top Ten list for the entire year, either on its own, or as part of the StarForce Trilogy.

Publication history
According to Shannon Appelcline, "The Space Gamer #6 ( June/July 1976) [was] the first issue to offer up substantial articles on other publishers' games — including discussions of McEwan Miniatures' Starguard! (1974) and SPI's then-forthcoming StarSoldier (1977)."

Reception
In Issue 6 of The Space Gamer, Amber ap Llychlyn did not like the rationale for the game, pointing out that in the game, civilians are put to sleep using a psychic field to avoid conflict, and thought this made soldiers, and therefore the entire game, unnecessary.

In Issue 32 of Moves, Phil Kosnett compared StarSoldier to Starship Troopers, published in 1976 by Avalon Hill. After a lengthy comparison, Kosnett concluded that "StarSoldier is an innovative game and Starship Troopers is not. Soldier is science fiction, and Troopers is just a 20th Century land game with funny silhouettes on the unit counters."

In the 1980 book The Complete Book of Wargames, game designer Jon Freeman called this game similar in concept to two other SPI tactical wargames, Sniper! and Patrol. He noted "Games are fairly fluid as units flit from cover to cover, but most boil down to putting out an overwhelming offense while mainting an adequate defense — a combination few units can manage." Freeman gave this game an Overall Evaluation of "Good", concluding, "the game is usually a race to succeed before one side is devastated to the man."

Project management/Experimental self communication/Critical thinking and self communication/Goal setting

Preparation

 * Study Venn Diagrams : Anything beyond very simple personal goals always involves other human beings or mammals or life forms or rocks or other manifestations of the physical universe.

Personal Goal Setting and Implementation Management

 * Identify or brainstorm specific personal goals.
 * Identify specific missions, goals or tasks which are related somehow to your attaining your specific goal. First do this individually for each goal.  As part of daily prioritization can identify common tasks or tasks which can be worked on concurrently.
 * Identify current and possible obstacles. Keep alert for chances to nibble, sidestep or obliterate them as you proceed through the planning and action tasks and work with other people.
 * Identify people and organizations who can assist you with achieving your goals or prioritized tasks.
 * Figure out what is in it for them. This will undoubtedly involve some intelligence gathering (recruiting, querying) or coordination and possibly mutation or expansion of the original goal set to adequately compensate other participants for their efforts beneficial to your goals.  Sometimes phased or interlocked delivery is important.  You are trying to accomplish your own or the team's goals and tasks, not be diverted to completing someone elses desires prior to achieving or initating work regarding your own.  Sometimes it simply requires a polite request, flowers with a smile, or some reasonable amount of cash.
 * Develop a plan or a series of small achievable tasks which when accomplished in the aggregate will achieve the goal. For multiple goals do this for each one and then integrate or prioritize according to personal priorities.  Keep in mind priorities may need to shift in accordance with external events or others peoples' goals or desires.
 * Specify concrete objective measururable milestones or metrics which can be used to track progress towards the goal.
 * Review progress periodically and revise the plan appropriately.

Note: In Total Quality Management philosophy this cycle is often call the PDCA loop. Plan, Do, Collect, Analyse, iterate. The biggest difference is that TQM is often implicitly assuming motivated people and teams and focused on specific business or manufacturing processes. The above goal setting processes is more general and must involve motivating other people and gaining their assistance or cooperation.

Cookbook:Vegan Cuisine

| Cuisines

Vegan cuisine uses no animal products, such as meat, dairy, or eggs. This is more restrictive than vegetarian cuisine, which allows non-meat animal products. All vegan recipes are therefore vegetarian, though not all vegetarian meals are vegan. See Wikipedia's Veganism article for reasons why people are vegan, the history of veganism, and other vegan-related information.

Vegans should be attentive to their intake of vitamins B (especially B12) and D, calcium, iodine, and fatty acids. The Vegan Society's nutrition pages have more detailed information on this subject. See also Vegan nutrition on Wikipedia.

When preparing non-vegan recipes in accordance with a vegan diet, meat, eggs, honey, and dairy are replaced with a substitute ingredient. Substitute ingredients try to replicate the taste and texture of an ingredient or its other useful properties. Substituting for an ingredient works to greater or lesser degrees, depending upon the recipe, and some ingredients are almost impossible to replace. There are many common substitute ingredients that are being used in the vegan world. For example, tofu is used to replace egg. Similarly, faux meat (cultured meat) is used as a substitute for animal meat. For more information see Vegan Substitutions.

Many vegans choose to avoid specialty substitute ingredients, as these products are often highly processed and high in sodium and allergen ingredients. Cooking with wholefoods such as unprocessed legumes, grains, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables can be a healthier approach to veganism. Many non-vegans will also enjoy these foods. Vegans often find that cooking 'real' foods rather than substitutes result in higher quality, better tasting meals that appeal to vegans and non-vegans alike.

Breakfast

 * Porridge

Talk:Salian Franks

[Untitled]
This rather messy text, which is full of typo's, ignores the current page, and duplicates existing info, was contributed by an anonymous editor; I find it sub-standard and moved it here. Tom Peters 01:15, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Franks was a general name given to Germanical tribes by inhabitants of the Roman empire. The name Salian Franks is a subdivision, indicating they were paid by Rome in salt (as in English the word Salary is deriVed from 'salt'). Typically they would be hired outside the 'limes' (+- following the course of the Rhine at that time)(Ps the course of the Rhine changed course in the 16-17th century and ended up in the Rotterdam bassin, instead of the Westerschelde, after following the Maas or Meuse course over a large area)(+-frontier Belgium-Netherlands)

 * After one or two periods of 20 years of service, where they would typically be sent to other areas of the empire, they would receive a lot of land given by the roman emperor. The Salian Franks typically would settle in the same area in Belgium, called Taxandria during Roman times, now known as the 'Kempen', a stretch of land, running from Antwerp to Liège, which was non- or little inhabited, due to the infertility of the soil.

 * They evolved to a little kingdom of 'foederati', that is they had the right to select their own king, who swore allegiance to the roman empire and emperor, and even had the right to wear the 'toga'. They were relatively independant. This was so until the fall of the Roman empire.

 * They were closely related, but distinguished themselves from the 'Ripuarian Franks', that are the Franks that have remained outside the Roman Empire, and wherefrom probably the Salian Franks were gradually hired and brought into the Roman Empire.

 * They only made their entrance in history by the end of the Roman Empire, when different incursions had taken place and the power of Rome was definitely falling to pieces. After having seen teh majoority of the Roman aempire being invaded by Wisi-, Ostro Goths, Vandals, Alamans, Burgunds, etc....There was a stretch of land which was not invaded by barbarians, corresponding to the north of France up to the actual Orléans area. Though it was still occupied by Romans, it was about to fall. This is the time when Clovis 'invaded' this area and took over power, with the willingness of the local population, after his baptizing)(see the history of Ste Geneviève in Paris for example). He installed the Merovingian Dynasty, called after Meroveus, one of his ancestors. And from this area the merovingian dynasty undertook the conquest of 'Western Europe' from the Pyrenees to the Alps and what corresponds now +- with the Netherlands and Germany(the majority was never part of the Roman empire)until Denmark.

 * After the conquest typically they would settle in the conquered area, install their local potentats and have them integrate with the local population. After two generations typically the potentates would be considered as 'locals, try to gain more independance, start an uprising and cause the inervention of the frankian army. Frankian society was also quite open to non-frankians, intermarriage and adjusting to the local culture. (probably the reason why they never imposed their language upon conquered tribes).

 * Typical for these were the separate law systems for the different populations, Salian laws, Alaman laws, Burgundy laws, Roman laws etc..., which existed next to each other. The most known extract of Salian law is that the kinghood is each time divided between the sons in equal parts. Therefore the whole Mervingian period is a very confused one, where it is difficult to set boundaries and frontiers. Generally one speaks of three parts: 'neustrie' the middel part and origin of the empire, including Belgium, nothern France and lower rhineland in Germany. Ostrië or Austria, what lay east of that (the actual Austria did not become part of the empire until this area was conquered by Charles the Great or Charlemagne upon the Hungarians. Westrië, is the part to the West. Italy and Spain were not part of the empire.

 * The reason for the success of the salian franks lies in a good military organization; During the Roman period, the 'germanical' tribes or franks of the area were already considered invinceable, hence the active hiring of legionnairs of Frankian origin. There they must have perfected their strategies and techniques, where Romans were best at, which made them really invinceable. Combined with the volontary military service (obligatory but also the privelege of every 'free man' or 'Frank', an army would be levied Each year in spring of every man in the family, with age boundaries, leaving the necessary man-force in the home.

 * this also gave opportunity to make a career or to own property, sicne if a battle was won, there would be a need for putting the local control in place, that is people having fought on their side.

I think this page should have a word about Salii. For the ancient sources spoke of 'Salii and not of Salian Franks''. The Latin word Salii ressembles a reference to salt, and therefore it may be translate as salters but it is also a college of the Priests for Mars. This group of people lived north of the Rhine in Salland, and not east of the river. user: Johanthon —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johanthon (talk • contribs) 13:45, 18 October 2006

 * That is not clear, but possible, maybe in Salland people gained salt, maybe there were salian Franks too, but the mars priests are not related to salt, but dancing. Both dance and salt are not limited to one group, and they might be named after one of these words for totally unrelated reasons. That's now in the article, too--FlammingoHey 09:05, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

THOUGHT ON SAALE. In Afrikaans - a Germannic Language - the word 'Saale' means "halls", the type of buildings quite common in the north of Germany - big country, hall-like houses. Along the Danube these relative huge buildings were erected from the earliest times in which groups of 20-30 people were apparently operating from. The present town of Halle (meaning 'hall' in German) is situate on the Saale River. There are at least two other similarly named rivers in Germany. I would have thought it obvious that one could assume that the people living in these big houses could be called Saalii by the Romans - that's what they were, peoples who lived in 'Saale'. Refer to the explanation of where the name Brussels come from and the words 'brook' + 'cell' bring one back to 'cell' = 'saal' (= unit = hall).

Against Georges Dumézil
Rokus, Actually there is so much I don't know were to start.
 * First you delete valid information without giving good reasons - like for example on Ammianus, but also on the meaning of the word Salii.
 * Second you add things that are simply not true. For example you state that Ammianus describes their Migration. But Ammianus does NOT.
 * Third. This is my strongest point agianst your revision: An article about Salian Franks is not meant to spent half of the text on the highly controversial works of Georges Dumézil and his followers. It is also very not done to come up with Wodan, Frey and Thor while you can't prove if they have anything specific to do with Salians. Please remember in about any college room in our countries Dumézil is called a Domme Ziel. johanthon 13:14, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Johanthon, with your reverts I am as puzzled as you are.
 * I am not aware of deleting any information from Ammianus. Instead I even inserted the name into the text. That is why I took your first comment on Ammianus for criticism on using him as a reference, and even though I decided to remove this sentence I was on the brink of asking you what was your problem with mentioning him. It is custom at Wikipedia to add references to the phrases derived from your sources, this will avoid the risk of those phrases to be merged into other phrases or otherwise affected by other editors. If I removed some theories on the word Salii this might have been because they were not clearly sourced. You have to understand that just mentioning a book on the lower lines won't always do.
 * Second, I did not use Ammianus to describe migrations. How come you think so?
 * Third (I see you already removed this point), again, also the reference to some Adrian Goldsworthy is not mine, but a result of merging info from another article. I will give you the details for having this clear for once and for all: I just think it is inappropiate to delete information while merging, especially when this information has been there for quite a while. This does not mean I think this information is useful, and in the case of this Adrian I have to agree the information is superfluous at least.
 * Last: It is true my source on mythology makes reference to the person you seem to contempt. However, I don't think you are justified to argue with recognized scholars. You have to find published articles that represent your view and be encyclopedic on the different views that exist and develop on the battlefield of science. I am very curious to know about contrary views on the tripartite structure he proposed. I think this tripartite structure is well documented and in accordance with what we know of Indo European mythology. The same still applies to Hindoeism, where according to time, place and social class people worship Brahma, Krishna or Shiva. What about somebody calling a scholar a "Domme ziel"? How can you prove this rejection of such a tripartite structure is generally accepted and not just your personal view?

By the way, I think the version of the article you keep reverting to has a terrible structure. This has to be improved, and I would appreciate your help. I am sorry if I deleted some phrases you were especially attached to while making a try, so why wouldn't you insert this phrases again on the proper place? Rokus01 19:06, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Rokus, I don't need to prove a thing against Dumezil. This article is about the Salians. It's not about Tripartite. It is not about Wodan. Nor is it about Mythology. Wikipedia has articles about mythology and Wodan. If you have valid information you can put it there.
 * If you want to merge articles than make sure you don't delete valid information and don't bring in information that simply is not accurate. johanthon 21:24, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * And "How can you prove this rejection of such a tripartite structure is generally accepted and not just your personal view?" Quite Simple. The 2 most cited scholarly books on the Salians (James and Wood) ignore him completely. Actually, do you know one regular scholar on the Salians that subscribes him fully and take over his views? James? Wood? Wallace-Hadrille? Murray? Goffart? Ganshof? Mckitterick? Drew? Thorpe? Todd? Bachrach? Fouracre? Van Dam? Bloch? Euwing? Geary? Riché? Fichtenau? Hallsal? Efros? Heinzelmann? Please, let me know. johanthon 21:49, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I do not like at all your belligerent attitude. Wikipedia is for working together and not for sneering and AGF. Of course you have to respect scholars, especially when they are highly esteemed within their area of investigation. Your concept about scholars is narrowminded and completely wrong, since it is not a custom to have scholars cite sources of different disciplines. For instance, an archeologist will not easily cite a linguist or an anthropologist, and when they do this rarely means they are agree. So why you come up with such a list of scholars, if mythology is not their prime field of investigation? Anyway, for this reason alone it might be a good idea to separate mythology from history in a different article.

For now: please show your abilities and knowledge by improving on this article, since this is still quite confused and ill structured. You could start with putting events in an chronological order, to introduce chapters and to introduce logic. For instance, what does "it" mean in "and it appears like an exercise in interpretation, rather than simple implementation of a new model of succession"? If you are not able, then somebody else have to do it - even when this implies the accidental deletion of unsourced statements and confusing theses. And by the way, the Salian people were not known for being very much more warlike than other Germanic tribes. If you read your sources well, you will discover they -contrary to most other Germanic tribes- developed soon to an organized society that tilled the land and did not pose a threat over the neighboring Romans. Your theory on Mars should be expressed -and sourced with author title and pagenumber-accordingly. Rokus01 22:21, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Jonathan, I don't mind you "reistate" this discussion on Georges Dumézil, especially since this discussion shows your very unrepresentative POV against one of history's most respected mythologists. Also, your personal wrath against this person shows you are not the expert we are waiting for. All I have heard from you is senseless waffle. Rokus01 19:38, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Isala and Tacitus
I removed this:Alternatively, it may be derived from the Roman name for a river in the Netherlands: Isala, currently named IJssel in Dutch. removed: a very far-fetched claim and not probable. --FlammingoHey 09:11, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Flamingo, in which chapter of Tacitus I can find a reference to the Salian Franks? And why do you link your reference to an unsourced site? johanthon 23:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Couldnt find Tacitus ref, so changed that and some more. Shall I ask the site's admin to name his sources? --FlammingoHey 08:45, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Flamingo, internet is not a source. It's common here that your changes are based on primary sources, or recent well known scholars. Tacitus wrote several primary source and you will not find the Salii in his texts. Gregory of Tours is another primary source and he clearly states that the Merovingian kings are of the Salii. He never wrote that those Merovingian kings descended from the Sicambri. Just follow the link and check out the article on them. johanthon 17:53, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

It's common here to cite sources in general, not primary sources only; in fact, those are usually less reliable than secondary literature, which may indeed be available online, like encyclopediae. Now; Gregory is not clearly free of the suspicion to have tried to please his royals, however independent he was in Tours. If you have the quote from Gregory, then please let us hear it. The link, though, doesnt mention either Gregory or the Merovingians. Are we talking about the same link, Zosimus? The Sicambri (sugambri) origin is an idea from de:Merowinger, which is unfortunate since there's no source given. So, why do you think Even nowadays, this area is called Salland should stay? Since Salland is not the place in question, it's further east, and the repeating of "currently", "even nowadays" and the ahistorical The Salian Franks formed the foundation for early Dutch culture and society (what is that early Dutch culture? In what way? Or just the language, but then it should say so; and what time periods are compared in that sentence?) are not perfect. And The word Salii otherwise is used for the dancing priests of Mars - the early Salian Franks were known to be another warlike Germanic people sounds as if there was a relation between the two statements, which is not really expressed, a but the two are not related is missing. --FlammingoHey 21:25, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Again: internet is not a source. And Wikipedia Germany is certainly not a source on the Franks. It is full of rather notorious pulp. If you want a citation of Gregory, why don't you look in the index to look it up? johanthon 22:07, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Johanthon is perfectly correct in iterating that primary sources are the major and more weighted reliable documentary evidence. There are other sorts of evidence for history - archaeological, for instance. It is always possible to claim, a thousand or so years after the fact, that the primary documentary sources are dubious, and indeed we know of some that are. However, much of Gregory of Tours must be taken as based upon evidence, freely propagated tales and eyewitness accounts gathered at the time of writing. Thus Gregory is more reliable than an unknown and significantly later scribe whose name is not known (but who is referred to as Fredegar in the English-speaking world) and who might in any case be more than one writer. That is an example. More weight must be given to the earlier source, particularly since the later source in this case mentions clearly apocryphal elements that are contradicted by other contemporary historical sources, by court, royal or legal documents, by archaeological finds, and so forth.

Encyclopaedias are not primary sources. They do not represent actual evidence. Articles in encyclopaedias represent the view of the scholar writing the article, and although this scholar may be knowledgeable, it would be childish of us to assume any one scholar can reasonably be representative of the entire scholastic research of a particular field, particularly if there are (and there so OFTEN are) disputes among scholars concerning dates, events, correlations, evidence, interpretation and much more. One does not go to an encyclopaedia for source material. One goes to the primary sources. That is standard historical research practice.

It is always good to approach primary sources with caution. There is no reason to assume any writer of the past is more likely to have been able to resist writing with a particular slant than writers today. But at the same time, we must not devalue primary sources. They remain the best source for knowledge of the past, for they bring with them the language of the past, the attitudes (often unconsciously related) of the past, the social customs of the past, the method of historical writing of the past and so much more... even apart from the names, dates and happenings. Almirena 09:26, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Ripaurian
Umm, about this bit here:
 * The name Ripuarian is believed to mean 'river-dwelling'.

Believed to mean? If one looks at Riparian zone, one will see that it says there:
 * The word "riparian" is derived from Latin ripa, meaning river bank.

I suppose there could be some doubt about the origin of the name: "Ripaurian" may merely resemble the Latin word for riverbank, while being derived from some other Germanic etymology.

For that matter, does anyone happen to know if the word "Ripaurian" occurred in contemporary accounts, or was it invented later by scholars to distiguish the Franks? Myself, I am pretty sure it was contemporary. --Saforrest 19:59, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

 * The word "Ripaurian" is not in the sources. The word "Ripuari" is, for example in the "Lex Ripuari", a law code book for the "Ripuari" dated to the first part of the 7th century. What is more interesting is that the ethnic core of these peoples lived at both sides of the Rhine around and north of Cologne and south of Nijmegen. Before the 7th century this area was largely occupied by Frankish Bructerri and Brucovarii. The Frankish word bruc is believed to correspond with the modern Dutch word Broek which means exactly the same as both "Riparian Zone" and "riparian vegitation". ("A riparian zone is the interface between land and a flowing surface water body. Plant communities along the river margins are called riparian vegetation, characterized by hydrophilic plants.") Now I am very convinced about this, but my problem is my opinion is just a POV. And above all it is original research. You won't find this kind of thing in English speaking scholars for the sheer reason non of them speak Dutch, so non of them is able to relate Frankish words to their most likely meaning. Cheers. johanthon 19:51, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * "Ripuarian" is an obvious anglicisation of the Latin term, so it does appear in the sources. ("Franks" never appear in primary sources either, but the "Franci" are distinctly numerous.) Etymological hypotheses like that concerning the tribal names as they have come down to us in Latin are always tenuous at best, just like place-name research. But it does seem pretty likely that "Ripuari" is related somehow to the Rhine. Can anybody quote a secondary source? Srnec 00:37, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * You might want to all move over to the Ripuarian Franks page. I almost missed your discussion. I've added 1 first and 2 second sources on this topic of the Ripu- or Ripa- name, when working on the Ripuarian Frank stub. Although not given "primary source" respect, one of the secondary sources did send me in its footnotes to a Latin primary source of 5th century where I found them in a "primary" source listed as the Riparii. (In Latin, I think the "ii's" mean plural people.  Later it seems to become the "Ripuarian". To be exact I don't know if you would say it was either "Germanized", "Franconized" or "Anglicized". (... & Too bad we can't use Johanthon's most commendable original research above about the Broek...)  Goldenrowley 00:13, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Contrary to popular opinion
the phrase "Contrary to popular opinion" in the first section is argumentative and unencyclopedic in tone. Whose opinion? It doesn't say. So this non-notable opinion becomes a straw man to argue against. Can we do away with this phrase whereever it occurs, unless notable and encyclopedic? User:Pedant <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:50, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It sounds to me like this was taken out of context. Amongst the Franks there was no clear distinction between just these two groups. Instead there were many tribes that can be considered Frankish. As mentioned in this very article, the Salian Franks are originally considered a subgroup themselves, like the Chamavi. Since this article is about the Salian Franks in particular, I feel it can do without that particular phrase. Dæron (talk) 20:10, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Salian Franks and the Zuydersea
The Zuydersea did not exist until the High Middle Ages. During the Frankish migration the area was occupied by the Lacus Flevo, a lake containing fresh or only mildly brackish water. The etymological connection of Salii and Salland with the "Salty" coast of the Zuydersea must therefore be incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:47, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Good point. I notice a source mentioned but it just says "Perry". Anyone know what that means?--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 15:43, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Maybe this one (seems quite an old one):--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 11:46, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Perry does not even mention the theory, only the river theory, so I will remove it and fix the source.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 11:54, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Perry does not even mention the theory, only the river theory, so I will remove it and fix the source.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 11:54, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Not all Franks were Salians. Sea-faring Salians? Clovis King of the Salians?
I find reference to sea faring Salians a bit hard to follow. How are we sourcing this? We seem to also even associate them with eastern Europe? Maybe the sources we are using did not specifically mention Salians? Similar concern with the various parts of the article where we treat use the word Salians to refer to the later Merovingians. I also already removed a remark implying that Salians were the early Dutch! We should not be using sources about Franks, Merovingians, Dutch etc and equating those things to Salians.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 10:06, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Map
I've restored the map that shows the Franks moving from (i) Betuwe throuh (ii) Toxandria to (iii) Tournai/the Somme. Yes, it is in French. Yes, it could be better. It could actually show them in Toxandria (the map that did that was removed recently). It probably should say "300" for their residence in Betuwe. It helpfully shows the Rhenish Franks. It is much better than a map of Germany that has the word "Salii" on it and an arrow pointing to the Rhine at the very edge of the page. See Alain Dierkens and Patrick Périn, "The 5th-Century Advance of the Franks in Belgica II: History and Archaeology", in Essays on the Early Franks, for support for this maps understanding of the whereabouts of the Salian Franks. Srnec (talk) 03:59, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I was the one who originally reverted the change. No problem with the map being French as such, but saying that the Salians moved into this one specific area around Tournai is not a consensus as I understand it. I realize it is a proposal of some authors. Effectively this is the proposal where the late Salians equal the early Merovingians, right? The problem is that there is no known description of any Salian kingdom's bounds, and also the exact bounds of the early Merovingians are not undisputed. Can you maybe adjust the wording to accurately reflect the fact that it only one proposal? The map which was removed focused more on the known homeland. What we do know from late classical sources is that the Salians first probably settled in Toxandria, which is an area you show as NOT having been a place they lived. Come to think of it, don't the two maps show different things? Why not have both? (But note my proposal to use more cautious wording.)--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 11:51, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I've added the other map and expanded the captions to correspond to what I (think I) know. If you think the description in either caption is contentious, you'll have to point me to other sources with other theories. Srnec (talk) 01:34, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Wish I had more time for it. :) Just in case it helps I believe an example of an historian who questions the idea of the Salian Franks becoming the Merovingians, and moving in steady progression to the area you give, is Guy Halsall.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 08:52, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

I still see no sourcing at all for any of the parts of the article which equate the Salians with the Merovingians, as if the two words were interchangeable. They weren't. The Salians were one of the groups of early Franks. They moved into Batavia and then to Toxandria. The relationships between those various early groups and the later Merovingians is debated, and not likely to be simple. The Merovingians are first recorded in the area of Paris and the Loire as a group clearly associated with the Roman military. They pushed northwards from there, taking over the older areas where the Franks, their relatives presumably, had settled much earlier. This eventually needs cleaning up. I've mentioned Halsall as a source above.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 17:28, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Cleanup
I did a lot of rearranging and cutting because the article had lots of duplication and was weighed down by stuff not specific to the Salians. But it's still badly organized. I tried to streamline "Origins and early history" and "History", but the order of presentation made no sense and still doesn't (to me). Srnec (talk) 21:09, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-08-07 Democracy (disambiguation)

Regarding Bruce's comment on my statement, the only reference to him I see in my opening paragraph is my opinion that he "misunderstood and/or mischaracterized" the activity in my userspace. Since it would be possible for someone with the best intentions to accidentally do this, the phrasing can hardly be considered as insulting or poor treatment. My inclination is to include it with the "stonewalling", "secret negotiations", etc. which I was also unable to identify, as honest but inconsequential misreadings requiring no further response.

Similarly, while I can hardly agree that there was any shortage of "reasoned explanation" on the Talk page, if this submission has finally done the trick I am delighted. Does "understand and accept the logic of his reasoning" indicate there is no further content dispute and this mediation can be concluded? - David Oberst 00:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I view the fact that you did not answer my questions, starting here, etc., coupled with several instances of sarcasm aimed at me to be poor treatment. BruceHallman 03:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello. I'm sorry if I sound disinterested Bruce, but could you provide me with the relevant diffs please? Maybe I've become insensitive to civility (perhaps the testy debating on my usertalk page, which is currently 116kb for nine days worth of messages, is bringing my civility standards down), but I didn't see anything which caught my eye immediately. Also, perhaps in regards to the first point, that is one of the reasons why we are here at mediation, but I presume the discussion would be on the userspace and user talk pages of the relevant users, which you could work out by trawling through the contributions of the respective users. As I have noted, there are a few editors sparring heavily on my talk page, so I'd prefer if we got down to business quickly. Thanks, Blnguyen | rant-line 03:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * To clarify, I'm referring to your indication on the main page that you will not proceed until you get a full apology. If that is the case, then we most likely will have a problem because it was mentioned earlier on the article talk page that if nothing gets started then an arbitration request will be lodged.

 * This would also be unfortunate because you would have to spend a while lodging a more precise and formal statement ARBCOM statement, and judging by the extremely abusive behaviour that lead to arbitration (ie, incessant multi-party editwarring for weeks, incessant heated debate with insults etc for weeks, people skirting and contravening user conduct personally continually) - I'm pretty sure that the ArbCom would strongly reject a request for arbitration and we'll end up back where we started, after spend a few hours writing 250 word statements with diffs and all for the ArbCom. For an example of an article arbitration, please see Talk:Rajput and Requests for arbitration/Rajput for some horrible viewing, and the kind of thing which leads to arbitration. Blnguyen | rant-line 04:02, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks Blnguyen for your volunteering to be a mediator, your work helps make Wikpedia great. Speaking for myself only, my request for mediation basically had two parts, the 'content dispute' part, which due to an explanation provided by Oberst yesterday, has now been resolved to my satisfaction.  The second part, about incivility, which I would like resolved before proceeding to resolve the content dispute is therefore presently moot.  I would prefer to waste no more of your time mediating a dispute which, as of yesterday, is simply about incivility between editors.    BruceHallman 14:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

"shouldnt've" gets far fewer hits and I haven't checked to see whether they contain the term or not. If they do get an entry, it should be marked as non-standard. Thryduulf 18:06, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Katharina Schroth

Katharina Schroth (February 22, 1894 – February 19, 1985) was a German physiotherapist best known for developing the Schroth Method to treat scoliosis.

Kathrina Schroth was born in Dresden, Germany with scoliosis. At the age of 16, she began the use of a thoracic brace, a common treatment to prevent the further curving of the spine. She was dissatisfied with how the brace was not fully effective and restricted movement, so she sought to find other treatment options for her condition. Through a process of self-experimentation, she developed techniques involving specific breathing methods, improving postural perception, and specific postural corrective movements. These techniques eventually became the basis for the Schroth method, which was shared among physiotherapy institutions to treat other patients. The Schroth method set the precedent for how other related techniques were developed. For this work, Schroth was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit by the Federal Republic of Germany.

Scroth opened two institutions to treat patients using the Scroth Method. The first institution, the Breathing Orthopedics in Meissen, was opened in 1921. This was followed by another institution in Sobernheim. Schroth's second institute was passed down to her daughter, Christa Lehnert-Schroth, and later to her grandson, Dr. Hans-Rudolf Weiss, MD. Nowadays, Dr. Weiss now has his own practice, where he uses modified versions of his grandmother’s techniques to treat patients with scoliosis.

Early life
Katharina Schroth was born on February 22, 1894, in Dresden, Germany. Born with moderate scoliosis, she was given a steel brace to wear indefinitely. At the age of 16, her dissatisfaction with the brace treatment led her to research an alternative. She used mirrors to assess herself and find solutions. Inspired by a balloon, she looked at the asymmetrical aspect of her torso. She tried to manipulate the differences by overcorrecting them through breathing and watching her body move in the mirror. After analyzing how her body reacted to the different breathing patterns that she had tried, she began to look for ways to manipulate her body to correct her spine. She did this by developing a pulley system to manipulate her torso, while she continued to watch the effects in a mirror.

Early Careers
As a teacher at a Rackow’s School of Business and Languages in Dresden, it is said that she was able to correct those spinal deformities enough that teachers at the school noticed and told her that they saw a difference. She eventually left the school and began working in functional gymnastics. Here, she combined her functional knowledge of gymnastics with her techniques to improve her spinal deformities. She was later asked to begin lecturing on this topic. She prepared for her lectures by studying anatomy and having medical practitioners test her knowledge. In 1921, she opened her first therapy institute, Breathing Orthopedics.

Family
Katharina Schroth was married to Franz Schroth and had a daughter named Christa. Christa was a physiotherapist and took over her mother’s work. Later, Christa's son, Hans-Rudolf Weiss, became a physician and also furthered his grandmother’s work. He continues this work to this day in his own clinic.

The Schroth Method
From the age of 16, Katharina Schroth continuously developed and critiqued her scoliosis correction techniques over many years, looking to improve them. She found inspiration for improvements from many different aspects of her life, from a balloon to her work as a gymnastics coach. This technique became known as the Schroth Method. It is a non-invasive technique that can both prevent scoliosis from becoming worse and correct it. The most important aspect of this technique is that it is highly individualized and unique to each person because no two cases of scoliosis are the same.

The goals of the Schroth Method are de-rotating, elongating, and stabilizing the spine in a three-dimensional plane of sagittal, frontal, and transverse. These foundations of the Schroth method look at muscular symmetry, rotational angular breathing, and awareness of posture through stretching and exercising certain muscles. Schroth's use of a mirror to see how her body was oriented led to the concept of postural awareness, which is still used in the method today. The method involves overcompensating against the body's irregularities in posture throughout the day. Being mindful in this way throughout the day is a central part of the Schroth method. Schroth also looked at the ideas of rotational angular breathing. This idea came from the balloon or ball analogy that allowed her to see that when parts of the spine or ribs are concaved, breathing in certain ways can make them appear straight and symmetrical. This allows the body to stretch in the way that it is supposed to and to see different muscles that are lacking in strength. The final concept involved in the Schroth method is muscular symmetry. Through exercise and stretching, a person can fix the asymmetrical aspects of their spinal curvatures by locating and strengthening certain weak areas of muscle to support the spine and fix its irregularities. This allows certain overworked muscles to relax and results in better symmetry in both muscle strength and conformity. The Schroth method was a pivotal technique in scoliosis treatment and has changed how many different therapies were developed.

Opening institutions
Once Katharina created a process that helped reverse and halt the spinal deformities, she opened Breathing Orthopedics in 1921 in Meissen. This institute had a small building and a garden with different tools and structures that were used for individual and group treatments. They performed a lot of their techniques outside in the garden so that their skin could feel the sun’s heat and that they could get some fresh air. Her husband, Franz Schroth, helped individual patients at the institute with certain corrections and with specific strength exercises. This institute worked on specific postural correction through correctional breathing patterns and correctional postural perceptions. This method had a 3-month rehabilitation period. Their daughter, Christa Schroth, helped with the spinal corrections in the 1930s and 1940s.

In 1955, Katharina and her family moved to Western Germany, where she founded her second therapy institute in Sobernheim to treat both German and international patients. Katharina’s daughter, Christa, eventually became the institute’s director and worked there until she retired in 1995. The institute helps about 180 people with scoliosis or kyphosis. On average, patients are treated within a 6-week period. This institute was later named Katharina Schroth Klinik in the 1980s. The first prospective controlled trial was conducted from 1989 to 1991. This clinic has since changed and now uses braces as its first treatment, but they use a derivative of Katharina’s original techniques of specific postural correction, correction of breathing patterns, and correction of postural perception for rehabilitation.

Awards
Katharina Schroth was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit from the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany for her work of opening two institutions and creating an innovative process of treating people with scoliosis.

Woodworking

Welcome to the Wood Workshop of the Division of Craft Arts (part of the School of Fine Arts) at Wikiversity. The workshop is just starting up, and we welcome all contributions. We need to work on ideas for a syllabus, textbook (over at wikibooks), and ancillary materials such as worksheets and exams. Also, standard layouts etc. for technical drawings for the Workshop.

Projects
Discrete, well-documented projects that the student can undertake on his or her own. The time that each of these takes varies. All instructions and commentary specific to the project are given; general woodworking skills are omitted because they will be found in the textbook.

 * Workshop notebook: Start recording your woodwork practice in a workshop notebook or visual diary, to see where you've come from and keep your ideas safe for future use.

 * Cutting board: The simplest of all woodworking projects: a single piece of wood on which to cut bread, etc. However, this project aims to teach flattening, truing, and basic finishing techniques.

Lesson Plans
Generally variations on projects (above), with specific guidelines on breaking the work up into hour- or day-long components. Aimed at classroom situations.

 * Yet to be written.: If you have any ideas, please add them here!

Exams
The idea of a woodwork exam may seem peculiar, but in many high schools and technical colleges they were a integral part of the manual arts syllabus. The idea with including exams in Wikiversity is to give the students something by which they can measure their skill -- can they cut a mortice and tennon (by hand) in a table's leg and stretcher in the given hour? A key aspect of these exams is the time limitation; although one can be a marvellously competent woodworker and do one's work very slowly, often the mark of experience and skill is to complete a task to a high quality in a short period of time.

 * Yet to be written.: If you have any ideas, please add them here!

Research Projects
There are so very many ways of working with wood, and woodworkers of every sort are continually finding new ones. This is the place to document these: to research any aspect of woodworking, either new or just new to yourself, and share with others what you find. Read the Introduction to research, familiarise yourself with Wikiversity's research guidelines and process, and explore the other Wikiversity research resources. Then jump right on in: think of some branch of woodworking about which you wish to know more, and start a new research project!

One fundamental part of any research is the literature review, and here in the Wood Workshop this takes the form of a page, common to all of our research projects, which lists lists any relevant literature (books, papers, magazines, videos, etc.). From this page is linked subpages, each of which summarises the literature from a particular viewpoint or topic (for example, the page on workbenches looks at the different ideas espoused about this primary piece of woodworking furniture).
 * Literature Review:

Producing materials for the Wood Workshop
If you interested in helping to produce learning materials for this, the Wood Workshop of the Division of Craft Arts, then the following will be of use.
