Lake Vselug

Lake Vselug (Озеро Вселуг) is a lake in Penovsky District of Tver Oblast, Russia. The Volga River flows through the lake in its upper course. The lake has a surface area of 30.4 km2.

Lake Vselug is the second one of four big lakes which make together Upper Volga Reservoir and which constitute the only remaining large natural lake system on the Volga. The other three lakes of the system are Lake Volgo, Lake Peno, and Lake Sterzh. Lake Vselug is located downstream of Lake Sterzh and upstream of Lake Peno.

The lake is oriented north to south and is separated from the adjacent lakes by short stretches of the Volga. The southern end of the lake is located by the village of Zabelino. The main tributary is the Runa River (right). The Kud River, the outflow of Lake Vitbino, joins the Volga right at the southern end of the lake.

The wooden Church of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist (1694) at the village of Shirkovo, classified as a cultural heritage monument of the federal significance, is located at the bank of the lake.

The drainage basin of the lake includes the northwestern part of Ostashkovsky District and the northern part of Penovsky District.

Babelprog
Suppose I know how to do something in one language, and I want to translate it to another language. For example, I know how to sprintf in C, and I want to do the same in Haskell. Or I know lapply in R and I want to do it in Visual Basic. Is there any babelfish-like tool that could be used to help me? Albmont 14:20, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

There exists a few specific translation tools:

 * "f2c" (f2c), which translates from Fortran77 to the C programming language.
 * there are several Pascal to C/C++ translaters.
 * http://jython.org/ lets you write code in Python and run it on a Java virtual machine.

Please add to this list. While translating from one programming language to another is much easier than natural-language translation, I imagine that translation into a completely different language family ( "imperative" C to "functional" Haskell) is much more difficult than the above same-family imperative-to-imperative translations.

Is there a better place for this list of translation tools somewhere in this book on programming? --DavidCary 20:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

BTW, I have just found an interesting resource: http://merd.sourceforge.net/pixel/language-study/syntax-across-languages/Mthmt.html. I guess there's no restriction to copy and paste it to Wikibooks (or wikipedia). Albmont (talk) 17:28, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Tables
I have found 2 tables that are almost identical, the task of maintaining the information on both is very hard, they should be merged (as one has 2 more rows) and a template should be elaborated so it will be easier to extend and update. I will get to it as time allows but if someone could take a shot at it, please do... txs. Computer programming/Language concepts --Panic 17:28, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Yeah, splitting the tables was my fault. I wanted to avoid the kind of sprawl that made this book feel really mediocre and unhelpful.  This was probably not the best way to go about it, but to get an idea, compare this hyper-sprawl version with its leaner and meaner counterpart.  Still not quite lean and mean enough.  I think that if we want to make this book halfway decent, we might need some radical surgery.  The book isn't any good if it's just everybody trying to squeeze in their favourite thing (i'm probably guilty of that too).  We need to cut and steer.  For example, could you live with the tables just being a subpage and not on the front page?  Or how about a show/hide link?  -- Kowey 05:44, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I started updating the Table with some pages and noticed that the template didn't have the Perl section in so I updated it. One problem however is the Visual Basic .NET stuff. Doesn't seem to want to link to the pages no matter what I enter. The heading works fine just not the individual pages. Anyone got any ideas?? Oop's never mind the last I was brain dead for a second NET is not Net...John

it is useful to have a strong programming culture
In the present text, there is this awkward, although very understandable phrase "...but it is useful to have a strong programming culture." I would assume this means  cultural , as in having a strong background of knowledge and or experience in programming, perhaps including pseudo-code, logic, etc... From Wikipedia entry culture: ...anthropologists commonly use the term "culture" to refer to the universal human capacity and activities to classify, codify and communicate their experiences symbolically. Unfortunately as used as a noun here- it sounds analogous to "culture" as in a "bacterial culture." he-heh! And it may be a teleogy- what is a "programming culture" other than a culture/climate that consists of programmers programming? I am afraid to replace the word as it might have common usage in the programming community that I am unaware of.??? There are surely better ways to phrase the usefulness of learning more than one computer language. Cuvtixo (talk) 16:03, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Probably background ?!? it seems at least on that phrase to make better sense (as I didn't search the context where it is being used), go ahead and change it... --Panic (talk) 16:49, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Development platforms
This article seems to be specificall about programming on the personal computer. Although there are some suggestions about including how to program FOR another device (cell phone, mainframe, etc) ON a personal computer, this is significantly different from programming directly from a terminal on a VAX or mainframe, for example. I think there should be some specific information about what a development environment on a PC (IDE) is, what target platforms one can program for. I can't imagine that there isn't some public domain printed material that has a more inclusive overview of all electronic computer programming and what programming languages are.

Some mention of scientific calculators, for example, and programming in languages like FORTH and assembler for Boot ROMs would be a lot more informative Cuvtixo (talk) 22:10, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

book name
I see that recently this book was renamed from "Computer programming" ("sentence casing like Wikipedia does") to "Computer Programming" ("title casing like books often do").

Currently the Manual of Style proposed guideline and the Local manuals of style essay both specifically mention both of these styles as perfectly acceptable for a WikiBook.

Is there a reason to prefer one over the other for this specific book? (Reasons to prefer one over the other, in general, should be discussed in the talk pages of the above guidelines).

If ever change the name of this book again, what name would you prefer? Perhaps a more specific name, such as "Comparing Computer Programming Languages"? --DavidCary (talk) 08:44, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I have been using (the casing) "Computer programming" for categories and "Computer Programming" for WIkibooks as to avoid commissions in general categories and book categories, that is "Computer Programming" as a Wikibook can have it's own category and coexist with "Computer programming" as a general category were various Wikibooks belong (in realty we are using "Programming"), hope that this helps and can be used to come up with a more consistent manual of style... --Panic (talk) 19:56, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

merge
I suggest merging the near-stub book The Complete Programming FAQ into a section of Computer Programming. Both seem to have the same scope -- a general overview of all programming languages, but not an in-depth tutorial on how to learn any one of them. --DavidCary (talk) 14:03, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

 * It seems logical, the The Complete Programming FAQ has no real structure and no defined scope...
 * One thing that the outcome of the VfD indicated is that people have been moving/deleting content out of this book in place of trascluding or reusing it. It seems without giving any attribution to the source book. If I had the time I would also examine all programming books and rebuild this book with the generalist/conceptual information...   --Panic (talk) 18:37, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Programming skills
I am an old programmar. I am not sure how to go about it, but programming is mostly language independent. I learned machine code first. Then assembly. Coded more in assembly then high level languages. I can say however that I havn't coded in a high level language in which I havn't written a compiler.

The two most basic constructs can be explained and shown in many languages.

The simplest is a list of instructions. A linear construct. Steps executed in sequence.

Step 1, Do a. Step 2, Do b. Step 3, Do c.

A loop is a circular construct directing that something is to be repeated.

Step 1, Do a Step 2, Do b Step 3, Do c Step 4, Go back to Step 1

Conditional constructs. Conditional loops. Exceptions. Interupts. Modules and linkers. Etc.

I have written metacompilers. One used to write a COBOL compiler. A metacompiler grammar rule. Illustrates some constructs.

expr = term $(('+':ADD|'-':SUB) term!2);

The above metacompiler rule generates an expr function that returns success or failure. It Illustrates the two basic constructs above. The first instruction is to call the term function that returns a boolean value (success or failure). If successful the remaining is a loop. This example is far more advanced than the two basics above. Thing is that a declarative language may be seen as or in terms of general concepts. We have linear, circular, conditional, and subroutines in the one line rule above.

The basic programming concepts are in all general purpose programming languages. Maybe because when I started programming, assembly was common. I learned machine code for many computers. LGP-30 machine code, IBM 1400 autocoder assembly, Honeywell H-200 Easycoder. As well as the H-1200, H-3200 and Honeywell 800 and 8200. DEC-10 macro 10, PDP-11 and most all micro processors.

My point is that if you can really program you can do it in any programming language.

Should not Visual C be included
One of the difficulties for beginners in C is the abstract nature of the language. To design a simple Window in C or C plus plus is not out of the reach of anyone but wouldn't it be easier to just direct everyone to Visual C. That way the familiarity of Microsoft's Windows environment is visible straight away.

Visual C does have some deprecation so that you have to be aware of which version you are using but that is not a real issue. Even something as simple as calling the Paintbrush function to provide the basic colour palette you seen in photo and image editors would be more useful for beginners than explaining that the same thing can be accomplished in C with library calls.

If no one minds I'll add Visual C since you can also download a free version for educational use.

COI vs UPE
This article has a UPE tag but there is no evidence for it. Clearly a COI case though. There may be an employee of a school, and create an "official" account, but that doesn't mean they are being paid for this, either directly or indirectly. The account is effectively disclosed by using the name of the school as the userid, they are newbies and shouldn't be punished with a "$" banner for lack of adding a single sentence to their user page (all that is required for a paid editor). And since they have not added that sentence, and without evidence they actually are paid to edit the article, the banner is not appropriate in this case. -- Green  C  14:25, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Possible reliable sources (for future reference)
Here are some possibly reliable sources, should the current Articles for Deletion (AfD) case lead to the article being sent back to draft form:

Current refs World Urban Forum (ref 1, perhaps, minor); ARY News.tv (ref 2); BrandSynario (ref 3, perhaps: depends on how material is sourced); Geo News (ref 5) look reliable to me. Bloomsbury Festival (ref 20) looks reliable for uncontroversial material; ditto Events at Cambridge Students' Union (ref 22); and especially The News International (ref 31).  Esowteric + Talk  14:54, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Then rewrite the article based on those remaining sources.  Esowteric + Talk  15:01, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I see no reason why sources such as UCL, though not independent, cannot be used to support the awards she's won, but perhaps these could be added later.  Esowteric + Talk  17:43, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Close paraphrase of Career section
The Career section is a close paraphrase or direct copy in parts, and it needs looking at. Short quotations can be used directly, in "quotes", with a reference after each quotation.

I feel both ‘Other work and media image’ and the ‘Talks and keynote addresses’ would be better if integrated into the career section. Gleeanon409 (talk) 15:23, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Maybe leave that just for now, until we see if the article makes it through the ongoing AfD and/or if it's sent back to draft form. Would be interested to hear what Studentsunion thinks, too, as they have a better grasp of the article's subject (?)  Esowteric + Talk  15:33, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Important note to the AfC and NPP editors
The creator of this page could have simply retrieved their abandoned draft from here,. Instead, they started again from the scratch, so the edits made by sock puppets previously are hidden. Also, their first edit was 30th July 2019, and their previous version of Draft on the subject with almost same references back from 2019 didn't meet the notability. The subject clearly fails WP:NACADEMIC as of 14th September, 2020.

Most of the awards won are not notable(on a national or international level), also a lot of references are spam, like for "Ethical Affairs Activist 2019" the reference takes you to the video on Facebook?, also the award won at UN it states "Best Climate Action Proposal" but in the reference, there is no mention of this. Also, there are many such references which are there just to give a feeling like this subject meets notability like reference number 14. . Of course, the current main current/heavy editor isn't looking at all of this, because he wants the article to remain in mainspace, because "I" nominated this page for AfD. (he will probably edit them now that I pointed). When reviewing this page for AfC, please make sure that the subject meets the notability, not because it was endorsed by editor who have been here editing for 10+ years. I am sure he will try to influence his Wikipedia account age as he clearly stated in AfD, he stated that to avoid COI, he will instead submit the draft for review, so it can be passed. His sole intention is to make this article not undergo Draft or get deleted, because "I" nominated this page for deletion for not meeting the notability. He clearly shows interest in my edits as he followed me on the SPI investigation for the same, while supporting the creator of this page Az.jooma and all their sock puppets. Also, please note weren't interested in editing this article which remained unedited last year and also this year when it was recreated, but has only and only shown interest after "I" nominated this for deletion. On a closing note, I want to say that only accept this article only and only if it meets notability criteria, not because some editor(who has been here for 10 years) has personally endorsed. I will keep this article on my watchlist. If I feel that this article has been passed not by notability but because of the influence/endorsed by an old Wikipedian user, then I will take this to AN/I. Thank you! AngusMEOW ( chatter  •  paw trail ) 17:45, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I realize that the article is far from perfect (like us, wiki is always "a work in progress"), but the subject is notable, imo. "Dogs may bark, but the caravan moves on." ~ Sufi saying.  Esowteric + Talk  17:50, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The subject is not notable yet, as per WP:NACADEMIC. Reply to your quote, "not when the dog is barking to the caravan about their leaking water bottles, the caravan wouldn't survive in the desert without water, should have listened what the dog is trying to say"  AngusMEOW  ( chatter  •  paw trail ) 17:58, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
 * They are not even claiming to be an academic! And as for influence, I'm not trying to influence the AfD more than anyone else, merely to display some common sense regarding notability.  Esowteric + Talk  18:09, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

General note on sources
Text should be written based on the actual content of available sources, rather than finding sources later in an attempt to back-up what editors want to write.  Esowteric + Talk  09:21, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Manic cleanup tagging reverted
Have reverted the manic cleanup tagging of this accepted AfC by AngusWOOF, the nominator of a previous deletion request (result was draftify). See WP:Articles for deletion/Aliza Ayaz. Clear conflict-of-interest or other issues here.  Esowteric +  Talk  +  Breadcrumbs   15:46, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Perhaps this needs looking at by uninvolved editors or by a previously-involved administrator?  Esowteric +  Talk  +  Breadcrumbs   16:06, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

 * I've reduced the tagging and put in reasons for why these are still problems. Note that I'm not questioning her notability at this point. I'll let another AFC/NPP reviewer or other editors/admins figure out whether she needs to go back to an AFD cycle. Also note I'm not Angus 1986 / AngusMEOW, the originator of the previous AFD, who has since changed their username to something that doesn't impersonate mine. AngusW🐶🐶F  ( bark  •  sniff ) 17:48, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

 * I'm concerned with the users Jefknowles Samy17Hudson Liasi37 S.jiv
 * Yes, I changed my username so it doesn't impersonate AngusWOOF(and AngusWOOF is doing a great job, a lot of cleaning to be done). The whole article is full of paid editing and COI, a lot of deceiving, says covered by BBC(but no article linked to it, lot of red flags), but I am not going to get involved in this, not worth my time, I'll let some other experienced editors look into this. QuantumRealm (meow • pawtrack) 08:33, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Would the sockpuppet reporter please refrain from again making as-yet-unsubstantiated accusations on the article's talk page, as they did at an old AfD? The article was re-worked after draftifying and passed AfC: "The whole article is full of paid editing and COI, a lot of deceiving ..."

If you click on "Show more" the programme summary reads: "And Pria is joined by 21-year-old Aliza Ayaz, who has been appointed 'United Nations Youth Envoy for Sustainable Development'." I've used a full citation pointing to the original audio podcast interview, however since that URL is now dead, I've added an archive URL to the web page linked above, and marked the original URL as dead. So that sorts out that alleged conspiracy.  Esowteric +  Talk  +  Breadcrumbs   10:28, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

With that being said, I'm having a really hard time understanding why Langer's report is giving so much weight in this article. After all, didn't Kershaw 2008 say that the "Hitler-was-sexsually-turned-on-by-having-women-pee-and-defect-on-his-face" content in Langer's report ought to be regarded as nonsense? Also, Langer's report itself states that the report is based on enumerable sources, none of which were first hand or 100% reliable. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 23:43, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Added 10.5's Photo Booth Aten2005

Versions
Apparently there are versions of Photobooth. If you know about the specific details that differ between versions, please create a 'versions' subheading and list the versions and the specific differences/updates that change at each upgrade, as has been done for other apple software products with more than one version. Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:57, 11 December 2006 (UTC).

HD Support?
I laughed when I launched Photo Booth on one  of the MacBooks with the HD FaceTime Camera and realized that HD wasn't supported yet. Apparently Apple only wants HD used for video conferencing via FaceTime(?!) In time, say, when 10.7 is available, the article should mention the lack of HD support. And if Apple does happen to update Photo Booth, but still doesn't support HD (which would be insane and cruel, but I wouldn't put it past them), then the article should definitely mention the omission. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:41, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Notability
Software comes and goes. Some time in the future someone will wonder, whatever happened to that PhotoBooth App on the Mac? Describing the app now contemporaneously will make the future article better due to the accuracy of description that is now being created. Kd4ttc (talk) 19:08, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

File storage in Yosemite/El Capitan?
I've found several references that PhotoBooth stores the photo files themselves in "Pictures/Photo Booth Pictures" package file, but this appears to have changed in Yosemite or El Capitan. Anybody know the current spot Apple is using to hide stuff?

I'm sorry that this isn't really about the article, though it certainly could be put in the article. Jimw338 (talk) 17:29, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Past tense?
Why is this article in the past tense? "Photo Booth was a software application..." It mentions Photo Booth as being in the current version of macOS, High Sierra. Is there any indication that this application has been discontinued? - Brian Kendig (talk) 20:10, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * You're right. I had assumed it's no longer available, but I just checked my High Sierra Mac at work, and sure enough, it's there. Go ahead and change the tense. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:34, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry

"The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry" is the fourth episode of the first season of the American television series Star Trek: Discovery, which is set roughly a decade before the events of the original Star Trek series and explores the war between the Federation and the Klingons. The episode was written by Jesse Alexander and Aron Eli Coleite. It was directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi.

Sonequa Martin-Green stars as Michael Burnham, the first Starfleet mutineer who began the war. Series regulars Doug Jones, Anthony Rapp, Mary Wiseman, and Jason Isaacs also appear in the episode.

"The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry" was released on CBS All Access on October 8, 2017.

Plot
Michael Burnham receives the replicated uniform of a Discovery crewmember, without Starfleet insignia. She receives a parcel with the will of Captain Georgiou, but cannot bring herself to open it. Saru is unhappy with Burnham's presence aboard the Discovery. The ship's crew is conducting a simulated battle with the Klingons and is repeatedly losing. Lorca assigns Burnham to study the creature from the Glenn, a giant Tardigrade which destroyed a dozen Klingons, and find a way to use its biology as a weapon.

Starfleet Admiral Cornwall orders Discovery to the dilithium mining colony Corvan II, which is under Klingon attack. Corvan's workers extract 40% of the Federation's dilithium, which is needed for traditional subspace jumps. Stamets is reluctant to make such a long jump using the spore drive. Lorca suggests that he proceed by trial and error. When the spore drive is activated, Discovery nearly collides with a star. The Tardigrade reacts madly during the jump. Lorca threatens Stamets and forces him to continue the journey to Corvan, playing the distress call from the colony over the ship's internal communication system for the entire crew to hear. Lorca sends Commander Landry to keep Burnham's research on track, and Landry attempts to sedate the Tardigrade (which she names Ripper) to cut off its claw; it kills her.

On T'Kuvma's stranded ship, Klingon leader Kol bribes T'Kuvma's desperate followers with food to earn their loyalty, and leaves Voq to die in the wreckage of the Shenzhou.

With the help of the reactions of Saru's threat ganglia, Burnham becomes convinced that Ripper was acting in self-defense. After learning about the reaction of the Tardigrade to the jump and its symbiotic connection with the spores, Stamets and Burnham transport the creature to Engineering. The Tardigrade connects to the spore drive and interfaces with the navigation system, acting as a supercomputer to calculate navigation coordinates. Discovery successfully makes the jump to the Corvan II colony and destroys the enemy ships, then disappears.

L'Rell, a Klingon who is secretly loyal to Voq, promises a way for them to win the war for the house of T'Kuvma. She tells him that the matriarchs of the House of Mokai are ready to help, but that he must sacrifice everything.

After the jump, Burnham visits the creature, which appears to be ill. Tilly persuades Burnham to open the package from Captain Georgiou. Burnham discovers that Philippa Georgiou bequeathed her a family heirloom - her telescope.

Casting
The series stars Sonequa Martin-Green as Burnham, Doug Jones as Saru, Shazad Latif as Ash Tyler, Anthony Rapp as Paul Stamets,  Mary Wiseman as Tilly,  and Jason Isaacs as Gabriel Lorca. Additionally, guest star Rekha Sharma was cast as Discovery's security officer Commander Landry at the end of April 2017.

In November 2016, series' writer and consulting producer Nicholas Meyer mentioned that Michelle Yeoh had been cast in Discovery, and she was soon confirmed to be portraying Captain Georgiou of the USS Shenzhou. Yeoh appears in this episode as a hologram of Georgiou.

Release
"The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry" was made available on CBS All Access on October 8, 2017. In Canada, it was broadcast on the specialty channels Space (English) and Z (French), before being streamed on CraveTV. In 188 other countries, the episode was released on Netflix within 24 hours of its U.S. debut.

Critical response
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an 82% approval rating with an average rating of 7.30/10 based on 22 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "With 'The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry,' Star Trek: Discovery plays to its strengths, advancing major plots and further refining core characters."

Michael Ahr of Den of Geek expressed concern about Discoverys ongoing departures from the traditional moral foundations of the Star Trek franchise, as well as viewers' advance knowledge that the spore drive would fail to supplant ordinary warp drive as Star Treks timeline continued. He found himself more sympathetic toward Voq and L'Rell than the Starfleet characters, asking, "Does the sympathy for the enemy spring from the unlikability of those in charge of Discovery? Or does Michael's transformation from pariah to pillar of moral judgment trump everything?" Megan Davies at Digital Spy called the episode "fast-paced". She noted that Burnham was "beginning to feel a little overshadowed by the characters around her" and was less impressed by the Klingon subplot than by the rest of the episode, but concluded that "the show hasn't let this war-torn universe detract from the human elements that help ground bold, sci-fi stories like this one is shaping up to be."

For IGN, Scott Collura scored the episode a "great" 8.5 out of 10, feeling that the episode fleshed out some of the characters and made clearer how the show would proceed going forward, commenting, "that's what this show is about, now we know -- finding out how Michael Burnham redeems herself." Writing for Tor.com, science fiction and fantasy writer Keith DeCandido called "The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry" "a damn fine episode that tells a very good—and a very Star Trek—story in its hour while continuing the seasonal arc along", but criticized the slow pace of the Klingon scenes due to the use of the Klingon language in dialogue. Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club graded the episode a 'B−', finding it poorly structured and suffering from excessive subplots and forced conflict. Handlen described Landry's demise as "an ugly, stupid death with no dramatic weight that only serves to make the Discovery's crew seem that much smaller."

Reviewing for The New York Times, Sopan Deb compared the Klingons' viewpoints to those expressed at the August 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, commenting, "Politics permeate every part of our lives now. Late night comedy. N.F.L. games. Why should 'Star Trek' be any different?" He described Georgiou's posthumous fate, eaten by Voq's crew, as "A worse fate for a great captain than Kirk's!" Deb also praised the burgeoning friendship between Burnham and Tilly, describing them as "two characters that actually tolerate each other's presence, which is more than can be said of every other crew member on the Discovery."

Writing for ScififantasyNetwork.com, Hazel Butler said, "Frankly I'm impressed Star Trek: Discovery made it to the fourth episode before I had any serious gripes... The Butcher's Knife Cares Not For The Lamb's Cry is an absolute mess. There is no unifying thread throughout the episode... I'd just rather they created the emotional climax of the episode through genuine plot development rather than cheap tricks."

Petasis reagent

The Petasis reagent, named after Nicos A. Petasis, is an organotitanium compound with the formula Cp2Ti(CH3)2. It is an orange-colored solid.

Preparation and use
The Petasis reagent is prepared by the salt metathesis reaction of methylmagnesium chloride or methyllithium with titanocene dichloride:

 * Cp2TiCl2 +  2 CH3MgCl   →  Cp2Ti(CH3)2  +  2 MgCl2

This compound is used for the transformation of carbonyl groups to terminal alkenes. It exhibits similar reactivity to the Tebbe reagent and Wittig reaction. Unlike the Wittig reaction, the Petasis reagent can react with a wide range of aldehydes, ketones and esters. The Petasis reagent is also very air stable, and is commonly used in solution with toluene or THF.

The Tebbe reagent and the Petasis reagent share a similar reaction mechanism. The active olefinating reagent, Cp2TiCH2, is generated in situ upon heating. With the organic carbonyl, this titanium carbene forms a four membered oxatitanacyclobutane that releases the terminal alkene.

 * [[Image:Petasis_reagent_part2_MV1.svg|500px|Reaction of the active olefinating reagent with a carbonyl compound]]

In contrast to the Tebbe reagent, homologs of the Petasis reagent are relatively easy to prepare by using the corresponding alkyllithium instead of methyllithium, allowing the conversion of carbonyl groups to alkylidenes.

Internet Technologies/The Web

The World Wide Web (the "Web" or "WWW" for short) is a hypertext system that operates over the Internet. To view the information, you use a software program called a web browser to retrieve pieces of information (called "documents" or "web pages") from web servers (or "web sites") and view them on your screen. You can then follow hyperlinks on the page to other documents or even send information back to the server to interact with it. The act of following hyperlinks is often called "surfing" the web.

Looking further at web browsers, a web browser is an application program that accesses the World Wide Web, which then searches for wanted information on the Internet. The first web browser named Mosaic was developed in the early 1990s. The ease of information access provided by web browsers greatly added to the popularity of the Internet. Companies and individual users alike can use a browser to access untold amounts of information, and its as easy to find as clicking a mouse. The four most popular web browsers are Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, and Netscape. Tight competition has caused for continual improvement in the programs and associated technologies. Web browsers are loaded with ease-of-use features and are customizable to an individual user’s preference.

URLs, HTTP and HTML
The core functionality of the Web is based on three standards: the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), which specifies how each page of information is given a unique "address" at which it can be found; Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which specifies how the browser and server send the information to each other; and Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML), a method of encoding the information so it can be displayed on a variety of devices.

Tim Berners-Lee now heads the World Wide Web Consortium, which develops and maintains these standards and others that enable computers on the Web to effectively store and communicate all kinds of information.

Beyond text
The initial "www" program at CERN only displayed text, but later browsers such as Pei Wei's Viola (1992) added the ability to display graphics as well. Marc Andreessen of NCSA released a browser called "Mosaic for X" in 1993 that sparked a tremendous rise in the popularity of the Web among novice users. Andreesen went on to found Mosaic Communications Corporation (now Netscape Communications, a unit of AOL Time Warner). Additional features such as dynamic content, music and animation can be found in modern browsers.

Frequently, the technical capability of browsers and servers advances much faster than the standards bodies can keep up with, so it is not uncommon for these newer features to not work properly on all computers, and the web as seen by Netscape is not at all the same as the web seen by Internet Explorer. The ever-improving technical capability of the WWW has enabled the development of real-time web-based services such as webcasts, web radio and live web cams.

Java and Javascript
Another significant advance in the technology was Sun Microsystems' Java programming language, which enabled web servers to embed small programs (called applets) directly into the information being served that would run on the user's computer, allowing faster and richer user interaction.

The similarly named, but actually quite different, JavaScript is a scripting language developed for Web pages. In conjunction with the Document Object Model (DOM), JavaScript has become a much more powerful language than its creators originally envisaged.

Sociological Implications
The exponential growth of the Internet was primarily attributed to the emergence of the web browser Mosaic, followed by another, Netscape Navigator during the mid-1990s.

It brought unprecedented attention to the Internet from media, industries, policy makers, and the general public.

Eventually, it led to several visions of how our society might change, although some point out that those visions are not unique to the Internet, but repeated with many new technologies (especially information and communications technologies) of various era.

Because the web is global in scale, some suggested that it will nurture mutual understanding on a global scale.

Publishing web pages
The web is available to individuals outside the mass media. To "publish" a web page, one does not have to go through a publisher or other media institution, and the potential reader is around the globe, some thought. This to some is an opportunity to enhance democracy by giving voices to alternative and minority views. Some others took it as a path to anarchy and unrestrained freedom of expression. Yet others took it as a sign that hierarchically organized society, mass media being a symptomatic part of it, will be replaced by the so-called network society.

Also, the hyper-text seemed to promote a non-hierarchical and non-linear way of expression and thinking. Unlike books and documents, hypertext does not have a linear order from the beginning to the end. It is not broken down into the hierarchy of chapters, sections, subsections, etc. This reminded some of the ideas of Marshall McLuhan that new media change people's perception of the world, mentality, and way of thinking. While not unique issue to the web, hypertext in this sense is closely related to the notion of "death of author" and intertextuality in structuralist literary theory.

These bold visions are at least not fully realized yet. We can find both supporting and countering aspects of web usage.

First, regarding the increased global unity, indeed, many different kinds of information are now available on the web, and for those who wish to know other societies, their cultures, and people, it became easier. When one travels to a foreign country or a remote town, s/he might be able to find some information about the place on the web, especially if the place is in one of the developed countries. Local newspapers, government publications, and other materials are easier to access, and therefore the variety of information obtainable with the same effort may be said to have increased, for the users of the Internet.

At the same time, there are some obvious limitations. The web is so far a very text-centered medium, and those who are illiterate cannot make much use of it. Even among the literate, usage of a computer may or may not be easy enough. It has been known during the late 1990s, though with ample exceptions, that web users are dominantly young males in college or with a college degree. Now the trend has been changing and female and elderly are also using the web, level of education and income are related to the web use, some think (See also the Wikipedia article Digital divide). Another significant obstacle is language. Currently, only a limited number of languages are useable on the web, due to software and standard issues, and none would understand all the available languages. These factors would challenge the notion that the World Wide Web will bring unity to the world.

Second, the increased opportunity to individuals is certainly observable in the countless personal pages, as well as other groups such as families, small shops, which are not among those who publish materials. The emergence of free web hosting services is perhaps an important factor in bringing this possibility into reality. The activities of alternative media expanded into the web as well.

Yet not a small part of those pages seem to be either prematurely abandoned or one-time practice. Very few of those pages, even when they are well-developed, are popular. When it comes to the expression of ideas and provision of information, it seems that the major media organizations and those companies who became major organizations through their online operations are still favored by the dominant majority. Besides, the Web is not necessarily a tool for political self-education and deliberation. The most popular uses of the Web include searching and downloading pornography, which perhaps has a very limited effect in improving democracy. The most intensively accessed web pages include the document detailing the former U.S. president Bill Clinton's sexual misconduct with Monica Lewinsky, as well as the lingerie fashion show by Victoria's Secret. In sum, both in terms of writers and readers, the Web is not popularly used for democracy. While this is not enough to categorically reject the possibility of the Web as a tool for democracy, the effect so far seems to be smaller than some of the expectations for a quite simple reason, lack of interest and popularity. Anarchistic freedom of expression may be enjoyed by some, but many web hosting companies have developed their acceptable use policy over time, sometimes prohibiting some sensitive and potentially illegal expressions. And again, those expressions may not reach great many. The web is still largely a hierarchical place, some may argue.

Third, regarding the non-linear and non-hierarchical structure of the Web, the effect of those on people's perception and psychology are still largely unknown. Some argue that our culture is changing to that of postmodernity, which is closely related to a non-linear and non-hierarchical way of thinking, being, and even social organization. Yet the counter-evidence is available as well. Among the most notable would be the existence of web directories and search engines. Those sites often provide navigations to the most popular sites to visitors. Besides, it is quite obvious that many web sites are organized according to a simple hierarchy, having the "home page" at the top. At least the present state of the Web and web users seem to suggest the change has not been as great as envisioned by some.

Talk:deafen

Is it correct to have this article include a definition for the phrase "be deafened"?? The word is unusual since similar constructions are ergative but deafen is not ergative, so it's probably useful to somehow indicate this, maybe it'd be better as a usage note or something though. Language Lover 14:22, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't think this is really necessary, as even ergative verbs can be used in passive form. Perhaps a usage note would be appropriate if you feel that it deserves that kind of attention. Algrif 13:46, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
