Latin

Salvēte omnēs!

Latin is a beautiful, complex and ancient language, and there is a consistent desire for online learning resources. It is an Indo-European language which was spoken in Ancient Rome and eventually evolved into the Romance languages spoken today. It was widely used for academic and scientific discourse well into the nineteenth century and forms an essential part of the specialized terminology in the fields of law and medicine. It is still used in some ecclesiastical contexts.

These beginners Wikiversity lessons form a non-traditional, informal course aimed at speaking and writing as well as reading. The lessons are supported by practice in words and sentences available on Memrise.

Who this course is for
This is a beginners' course, covering what most people learn in the first two or three years of Latin classes. It is a gently paced but thorough course, and requires no specialized knowledge of grammar to begin. From the first lesson you will learn simple sentences in Latin, with just enough grammar explanation to cover the concepts taught in each lesson. It is suitable for independent learners as young as 10, with good English reading skills.

The sample sentences are the key part of this course. This is a very natural way of learning, replicating how we all learned language as children, but this course is not like most traditional Latin textbooks. Sentences provide context and make memorization easier, and all the sentences in each lesson have enough in common to highlight the concepts taught in that lesson. If you are just starting out, and don't feel comfortable with a grammar based, reading only approach to learning, this could be a good course for you.

If you've been struggling learning paradigms, or have begun to feel overwhelmed by dozens of different conjugations and declensions which you know in theory but can't always remember in practice, then this could be a good course for you. Formal vocabulary listings and grammar paradigms are available in the lessons where sentences using those vocabulary words and grammar concepts are first taught, so if you like the traditional approach, that is available to you as well.

The course steps cover all the main points of Latin grammar. The content is aimed at everyday use as well as common words in literature, enabling you to use Latin as a spoken as well as written language. It is also a good way to practice writing basic Latin.

By the end of the course, you will have covered most major Latin grammar concepts and know 750-1000 vocabulary words. The subjunctive mood and several sentence types that include more advanced syntax are still remaining to be taught but we hope to add at least some of them in coming months. After that point, Latin courses traditionally shift to emphasize reading literature in Latin. Caesar's Commentāriī dē Bellō Gallicō, Cicero's orations, and Vergil's Aeneid are, in increasing order of difficulty, common works studied in such courses.

How to use the course
You should first read the lesson, and then use the lesson practices on Memrise to reinforce what you have learnt. If you are an absolute beginner, you should: This is a very powerful and thorough way of learning. You first get the background information, then you learn the vocabulary and then practice the grammar. If you stick with it, you will be able to learn Latin much more thoroughly and effectively than with most courses, since you are actually using the language.
 * 1) Read the lesson;
 * 2) Practice the "words" course on Memrise for the lesson you've read; then
 * 3) Practice with the "sentence" course on Memrise for the lesson you've read

Once you get past the first third or half of the course, you will probably want to practice your Latin using other content and tools, to make your learning experience more enjoyable and interesting.

''Important: reading the lessons but not practising writing and memorising the sentences is unlikely to work. Languages take practice and usage to learn, so please don't expect to just read the Wikiversity lessons and magically understand Latin!''

Time needed to complete the course
The sentence practice course takes 46 hours to complete. This is active learning time, so would take around 135 days to complete at 20 minutes a day. If you need the vocabulary learning as well, this is 27 hours of practice, or around 75 days at 20 minutes daily.

The course can be comfortably completed by an average student in around a year or 18 months, assuming a small amount is done daily.

Note that it is perfectly possible to reduce the sentence practice if you want. You can simply use the 'ignore' function in Memrise, for instance by viewing the level and selecting sentences or words to ignore.

Getting help
At the moment, the best place to ask for help is on the talk (discussion) pages of each exercise. However we will consider finding another more conversational medium, for instance a sub Reddit. There is also a discussion page on Memrise for the sentence course.

Errors
Because the content of lessons has only just been moved from their original home as posts by CarpeLanam on Duolingo's forums, you may find small typographical errors and changes in voice. Please let us know on the talk pages if you spot anything. Links to the original lessons can be found on the discussion page here.

'We have just completed a first pass at adding macrons. If you spot missing macrons, please feel free to edit and add as necessary, or leave a comment on a talk page if you prefer.'

Supporting materials
These Memrise courses can be ported to Open Source tools. For now, though, you can find them here: Please note that the sentence course can sometimes trip up, especially with word order variations which are correct but it does not recognise. Most combinations are there, but sometimes you may find correct answers being thrown out as wrong. Our advice is to just roll with it! If you have any problems, you can let the course creator know here.
 * Memrise course for vocabulary
 * Memrise course with sentences

Other free resources
There is a nearly complete formal course on Wikibooks which could provide a useful second way of looking at Latin grammar and gaining practice. It contains exercises as well as explanations.

Supplementing your study
When you learn any language, you should try different ways of using and practising the language. Typically, this will include a lot of reading, suitable to your current level. There is also audio and video available at different levels of Latin which you can use to practice. You can also try conversational Latin, either in person, via Skype chats, or through chatrooms.

Home schooling
The course content is not specifically written with children in mind and may not be the kind of learning that they would naturally enjoy. However, it may be useful to adapt some of the stages for revision or practice around specific skills. The original author of this course learned Latin mostly independently and taught it to children ages 11-15. She values the energy of independent learners of all ages and educational backgrounds, and is very happy if they are helped by this course.

Using the course for a class
It may be possible to use the content in classroom based lessons, especially if these have a conversational practice element. Lessons could also help learners by presenting more written and listening materials. If you do plan to use the lessons in this way please let us know.

Get involved in developing the course
We hope the course will be developed further. This will be discussed on the talk page here.

Contribute audio
See Latin/Contribute Audio We are adding audio, especially as many words are already recorded and available in Wikimedia Commons, and integrating some of the content with Wiktionary. We need help with missing audio for words, and for whole sentences.

We know that adding audio to Wikis can be hard so can do all the hard work if you need, or else can help you upload the material.

Course credit
The lessons were originally written by CarpeLanam to help beginners who lacked a Latin course on a free online language tool. We are very grateful for her kind permission to reproduce them under a cc-by-sa licence. zsocipuszmak added the sentence course on Memrise.

Talk:Learning Java

Merge with Introduction to Programming in Java
See Talk:Introduction to Programming in Java page for my reasoning. MetaBohemian 20:35, 7 February 2007 (UTC) EDIT: The actual talk page is Talk:Introduction to Programming in Java/Integer Variables --MetaBohemian 19:47, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

You may have a rationale developed (I have not looked at it), but this page actually has information, where as yours only has your ideas, making this page infinitely more viable.

Top-down didactic education
Otherwise known as Didactic Framing, it consists of the purely regimented injection of facts accompanied by drills followed usually with a testing regime. I believe that there is no place for this in this century as I believe that it has been a way to influence populations with misinformation.

The alternative is learning by doing, and since a novice has no knowledge he just jumps in and hopes for the best. In this case I mean getting some good code and contributing to it so as to add value. After a certain short while the novice does actually begin to make useful contributions, and hence forth is known as "expert."

This learning method actually is not an alternative; it does not even have a name. It is the basic way of learning that we have inherited from our ancestors deeper in the evolutionary tree.

If the Wikiveristy is is a learning "institution" then it should not be a scratch-pad for the Wikipedia, which forbids what it loosely calls original research, or new information. The Wikiversity should be a manifestation of the learning methods of this new age, and not the apparently suicidal methods of the one that precedes it.

Massive clean-up and additions necessary
This tutorial is in severe need of an overhaul. There is a section on decision structures, however there is no mention of looping. The lessons are also out of order. Individuals who are learning the language need to understand the basics before they can move on to more complicated subjects. All secondary lessons (Classes II, Error-Handling II) should also be grouped together in sequence. A number of other changes need to occur here, but I don't have the time to list everything. I plan to make changes in the near future to clean this area up.

Java slower than C++?
I stumbled upon an interesting article recently. http://www.idiom.com/~zilla/Computer/javaCbenchmark.html This makes the line "# Often runs too slowly on older computers to be as easily usable as a program written in a language like C or C++" arguable. Eruonen 17:01, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Mexican redknee tarantula

Weight
I would like to know how dangerous is this spider? How toxic is the venom?

"An adult female has a body roughly 4 inches (10cm) long, with a legspan of 6-7 inches, and a weight of approximately 15 to 16 grams."

Isn't it a bit precice? 15-16 grams? My adult female is way over 15 grams. I like my spiders to be fat, my friend likes 'em skinny, the difference is more than one gram, both can be found in nature. Fjejsing 00:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, i was wondering if anyone else thought that the diet section of this article was more of a tutorial than an encyclopedia, maybe I'm just paranoid, thanks! JHedges 11:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

i edited this, as i felt that having one reference of the tarantula keepers' guide is not sufficient to justify they are one of the longest lived Theraphosidae — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:26, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

General tidy up and more information needed
I've had a quick clean up (very quick) of this article and it certainly needs more done to it.

Considering that this is the species most people think of when you say the word "tarantula" it really does need to be better than this. I'll be having a proper look at it when I get home tonight, see if I can gather up some of those elusive arthropod references that are seemingly and shockingly rare. TToM The Taste of Monkeys (talk) 11:29, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Pet section
This sort of "care sheet" style section has no place on wikipedia. This should be a properly cited scientific style article and not a place to find out how to look after said animal. In any case it wasnt even slightly referenced. Man Over-bored (talk) 15:35, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Hall of the Supreme Principle

The Hall of the Supreme Principle, also known as Taiji Hall, is one of the Six Western Palaces in the inner court of the Forbidden City. It is situated west of the Palace of Eternal Longevity, north of the Palace of Eternal Spring, and south of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

History
This residence was built in 1420 and was originally called the "Palace of Endlessness". As his father was born here, the Jiajing Emperor renamed it the "Palace of Endless Good Omens" in 1535. It received its current name in 1741, during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor.

In 1860, it was connected to the Palace of Eternal Spring by converting the back hall, Tiyuan Hall, into an opera stage where Empress Dowager Cixi could watch performances.

The Hall of the Supreme Principle has five rooms, two side halls, and a back hall. The main hall has a gabled roof covered with yellow glazed tiles like most palaces in Forbidden City. The beams are decorated with Suzhou style paintings, golden dragons, and phoenixes. The walls are intricately decorated with medallions of phoenixes sitting on the mountain, atypical for other palaces.

Cancellation
Could the film be cancelled since there were no updates since September 2020? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:23, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

 * The director posted a photo to his Instagram recently showing he and his production designer location scouting in summer 2021, so there was at least some effort to remount the production after the accident. But I can't find any indication of the film ever having actually resumed production, and if it had you'd think he'd be posting images to that effect as well, or saying something about it on these posts. - Wetdogmeat (talk) 01:46, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

Turkish forces win the day. In Canto 29 (The Balkan War), set in 1912, the Austrian Emperor Franz Josef warns the sultan to leave the Albanians alone. The King of England invites the Great Powers to London to settle the matter. The final Canto 30 (The Conference of London) provides a humorous description of the gathering of the Seven Kings in London. After much dispute, they agree to recognize Albania's independence. The red and black flag of Albania finally flutters in the breeze over the land of Scanderbeg "like the wings of all God's angels."

Marine Air Support Squadron 1

Marine Air Support Squadron 1 (MASS-1) is a United States Marine Corps aviation command and control unit that provides the Direct Air Support Center to coordinate close air support for the II Marine Expeditionary Force. Callsign "Chieftain," the squadron is based out of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, and falls under the command of Marine Air Control Group 28 and the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing.

Mission
The squadron is responsible for the planning, receiving, coordination and processing of requests for direct or close air support. It provides this through the DASC, whether ground or airborne based. The DASC is the principal Marine air command and control system agency, responsible for the direction of air operations directly supporting ground forces. It functions in a decentralized mode of operation, but is directly supervised by the marine or Navy Tactical Air Command Center. During amphibious or expeditionary operations, the DASC is normally the first air command & control agency ashore and usually lands in the same serial (i.e., scheduled wave or on-call wave) as the Ground Combat Element's senior Fire Support Coordination Center.

History
Headquarters and Services Squadron, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing was commissioned on July 1, 1943 at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. On April 1, 1944 the squadron was assigned to the 9th Marine Aircraft Wing and on March 31, 1946 it was again reassigned to the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. In July 1947, the unit was re-designated as Marine Tactical Air Control Squadron 1 (MARTACRON-1). In January 1948, MTACS-1 participated in the Seconds Fleet Tactical Exercises at Vieques, Puerto Rico returning on March 20, 1948. The squadron boarded USS LST-664 on February 13, 1949 and again sailed for Vieques to control aircraft during operations. The squadron returned on April 1. Between July 18-28, 1949, the squadron hosted Marine Ground Control Intercept Squadrons 21 & 22 for their annual training. Between October 5 & November 14, 1949 MTACS-1 participated in cold weather exercises in Cape Porcupine, Labrador. On February 15, 1954, the squadron assumed its present designation as Marine Air Support Squadron 1.

In May 1956, MASS-1 deployed to the Dominican Republic and provided air support for Operation Power Pack by carrying out its duties as controlling agency for rotary and fixed wing aircraft. On September 1, 1967 the squadron was reassigned to Marine Air Control Group 28, where it remains today.

In August 1990, MASS-1 deployed a detachment in support of 4th Marine Expeditionary Brigade, the amphibious forces which deployed to Southwest Asia during Operation Desert Shield. A second detachment later deployed to provide an airborne DASC in support of I MEF, and both detachments ultimately participated in Operation Desert Storm. During the 1990s, the squadron was twice designated as the Marine Air Command and Control Systems Unit of the Year, receiving the prestigious "Edward S. Fris Award" in both 1992 and 1998.

On January 21, 2003, the squadron began deploying to Kuwait in support of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. During the 2003 invasion of Iraq it was tasked with conducting airborne DASC operations from the back of Lockheed Martin KC-130 cargo aircraft and supporting Task Force Tarawa. The squadron returned home in June 2003. From January 2005 until February 2006, MASS-1 again deployed to Iraq to provide a DASC, Air Support Elements and Air Support Liaison Teams throughout Al Anbar Province. MASS-1 deployed to Iraq a third time in 2007 for a year-long tour in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. In 2009, the squadron returned to Iraq for another 12-month deployment, while also sending a detachment on a concurrent combat deployment to Afghanistan in support of Marine Aircraft Group 40.

Since the end of combat operations, MASS-1 moved into a state-of-the-art aviation C2 complex in 2016. MASS-1 leads the Marine Air Command and Control community as an innovator, qualifying the first DASC data link specialists (JICO/AJOC), developing enlisted controllers who are also qualified to operate from U.S. Navy ships, and integrating live/virtual/constructive training networks into their garrison facility.

Unit awards
Since the beginning of World War II, the United States military has honored various units for extraordinary heroism or outstanding non-combat service. This information is compiled by the United States Marine Corps History Division and is certified by the Commandant of the Marine Corps. MASS-1 has been presented with the following awards:

Bio
Currently attending a Community College before graduating High School. Trying to find a balance between my worlds of home, school, and work is a little difficult. I mostly enjoy movies and television shows, particularly science fiction, comedy, horror, and comic book themed. I appreciate listening to music during mundane activities such as homework. For creativity purposes and for fun, I create some of my own music using devices and apps that contain different rhythms and tones of looped sounds. I then mash them together to make joyful tunes. To stay active, biking is an important part of the day, especially from getting to place to place.

Wikipedia has a gigantic amount of information and articles that were collaborated by many people. One of the things that I can see myself writing about is movies. I enjoy them a lot. I look up information such as; facts, budgets, how much the film grossed opening night, and worldwide. I don't see myself writing about the actors in the films because I don't want to be bias and I don't want to make incorrect assumptions based off of what I've read. I am also descent at summarizing what I have seen.

Article Evaluation
I wanted to look at the information of my hometown, Lake Stevens, through Wikipedia. I stumbled upon the school district section. There was a link to the Lake Stevens High School Wikipedia page. When I visited the Lake Stevens High School page on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: Structure/Completeness, Lack of Citations, and Grammar/Voice.

Structure/Completeness
The first thing I notice about this website is that it has a multiple issue banner, so right off the bat, I know this needs some help. This also lacks pictures of the high school trophies/awards that they’ve won, the posters of the theater’s performances, and of the campus itself. I am aware that it is currently undergoing construction for modernization and it is mentioned on the page.

Lack of Citations
There are some citations on the page, but not many. References are listed below, but they are not cited in the article above. In the boys soccer paragraph, it contains a citation-less sentence, “The boys' soccer team has been nationally ranked by the Adidas National Soccer Association of America”. (Wikipedia contributors, Sports, Athletics and Clubs). Giving the reader suspicion of whether or not what is said is true. This article can use more citations and could make it more trustworthy.

Grammar/Voice
When writing in Wikipedia, it is important to have no biased claims. The Lake Stevens High School is very passionate about their sports teams. In the sports, athletics and clubs section, there is a paragraph that contains a biased sentence, “The Lake Stevens High School football team is currently led by football head coach Tom Tri. He has led the Lake Stevens Vikings to numerous undefeated, playoff seasons ever since his takeover in 2004”. (Wikipedia contributors, Sports, Athletics and Clubs). Wikipedia's purpose is to benefit readers by acting as an encyclopedia, not to show enthusiasm in a high school team. This sentence and more could be written differently to improve the page overall.

Summary
This page does include a good amount of information about the Lake Stevens High School. But it pertains to a particular audience. This page also lacks sources and citations, so it makes it more difficult to verify what information on the page is true. This page could be improved if pictures were included, revised sentences to sound less biased, to make it a better Wikipedia page.

Thank you for visiting my user page.

New Amsterdam Musical Association

Founded in 1904, the New Amsterdam Musical Association, NAMA is the oldest African-American musical organization in the United States. It was founded at the time that the American Federation of Musicians Local 310 (now, Local 802) did not admit minority musicians and the law stated that one had to be in the union in order to perform in New York City. While the New Amsterdam Musical Association has never defined itself as a Jazz-oriented organization, it has certainly been both a literal and figurative home for many jazz musicians. The association became a key cultural reference point for jazz music during the Harlem Renaissance from the 1920s through to the 1950s. Located in Harlem, NAMA has served as a place for many musicians to gather after performances to socialize and to practice. It was not uncommon for the likes of John Coltrane or Max Roach to rehearse on the ground floor of the brownstone. Until the 1990s, NAMA also allowed musicians to board in the upper floors when they came to town. For a spell, Jelly Roll Morton lived in one of the upstairs rooms.

NAMA moved to its current location in 1922. It is no longer union or exclusively a members club, and now functions as a hub for Harlemites, and a testament to the history of African-American musicians in New York City.

Currently, NAMA offers lessons to all vocalists and instrumentalists at all levels at low to no cost, depending on the circumstances of the student. It also holds a host of community events such as jam sessions and barbecues that both serve as gathering times for the Harlem community as well as fundraising events for NAMA itself.

Notable NAMA members

Rainbow City (TV series)

Rainbow City is a British television series made by the BBC and shown in 1967. It was created and produced by John Elliot.

The series was the first British TV series to feature a black actor, Errol John as the lead character. John starred as John Steele, a black solicitor, and the series dealt with his personal and professional problems, living and working in the multi-ethnic community of Birmingham. John Elliot had been approached by the head of programmes for BBC Birmingham to develop a series about the Caribbean community in Great Britain. Elliot wrote several episodes in collaboration with Trinidadian actor, Horace James, who was cast in one of the other main roles. The series was shot at the BBC's Gosta Green studio in Birmingham. Five of the six episodes survived.

Mary, Steele's white wife, was played by Gemma Jones, later the star of the BBC's The Duchess of Duke Street.

The result of the debate was no consensus to delete. W.marsh 00:21, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Aimee Semple McPherson movie
Promotion for a non-notable movie made with a consumer-grade camcorder starring mostly unknown performers that has never been in general release. Will Beback 23:55, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep, Film mentioned in Ministries today (Dec. 2005), Film Threat magazine (2006), Charisma Magazine (October, 2005), East Valley Tribune (August 27, 2005) Hollywood Reporter and Variety production listings (2004-2005), InMag (Spring, 2005), Hollywood Jesus (2005), imdb.com, ZReview, movietome.com, and other publications cited on reviews and links at aimeesemplemcphersonmovie.com. This is the only feature dramatic film to explore Aimee McPherson's significance to evangelism and the history of Los Angeles.  To delete out of discrimination against women, Christianity, or art created on a low budget is to miss the larger issues of the work.  Jacksbernstein

 * Very very weak keep, if only because the film has a few name actors in it, such as Rance Howard. However, some serious editing is required, as the article reads like a puff piece written by a publicist, or Rossi himself. Someone's definitely trying to pimp this film, though, as the same anonymous edtitor keeps trying to insert it into a list of significant independent films. MikeWazowski 02:41, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Peter Taylor (journalist)

Peter Taylor, is a British journalist and documentary-maker. He is best known for his highly biased and sectarian coverage of the political and armed conflict in Northern Ireland, widely known as the Troubles, and for his investigation of Al Qaeda and Islamist extremism in the wake of 9/11. He also covers the issue of smoking and health and the politics of tobacco for which he was awarded the WHO Gold Medal for Services to Public Health. He has written books and researched, written and presented television documentaries over a period of more than forty years. In 2014, Taylor was awarded both a Royal Television Society lifetime achievement award and a BAFTA special award.

Early life
Taylor was born in 1942 in Scarborough, North Riding of Yorkshire, and was educated at Scarborough High School for Boys, a state boys' grammar school, followed by Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he read Classics, Modern History and Social and Political Sciences.

Career
Taylor's career reporting on political violence began with ITV’s This Week in 1967, and continued with BBC TV’s Panorama from 1980 to 2014. His Panorama Special, The Spies Who Fooled the World, investigated the intelligence used to justify the Iraq War. He has made many authored series for BBC1 and BBC2 on the security and intelligence services and five documentary series since the 9/11 attacks on Al Qaeda and Islamist extremism, culminating in his acclaimed The Secret War on Terror to mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11 which the Financial Times described as "a small masterpiece of clarity as to our present condition." In 2015, he investigated the funding of ISIS in his programme World's Richest Terror Army.

Taylor has written eight books on political violence, his latest being Talking to Terrorists: A Personal Journey from the IRA to Al Qaeda. Others include ''Beating the Terrorists? Interrogation in Omagh, Gough and Castlereagh, and his Northern Ireland trilogy on the Troubles called, Provos: The IRA and Sinn Féin, Loyalists, and Brits: The War against the IRA''. Each book deals with the Northern Irish conflict from the perspective of one of the three main parties involved: the Provisional IRA; the various Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups; and the British government and security forces. The trilogy provides an insight into all the main groups involved and the violent and political events that occurred throughout this turbulent period in Anglo-Irish history. Taylor's books feature interviews with people connected to some of the most significant incidents and landmark political events in Northern Ireland during this time.

In 2000, he presented the three part BBC2 series Brits on the covert war in Northern Ireland including interviews of former members of 14 Intelligence Company, the RUC Headquarters Mobile Support Unit and MI6. In 2007, he wrote and presented the BBC four-part series, Age of Terror. In April 2012, he was presenter and reporter for the BBC2 two-part series Modern Spies, in which he interviewed serving members of MI5, the Secret Intelligence Service and GCHQ (anonymously). The Guardian described it as “meticulously researched and enviably sourced”.

His documentaries on smoking and health and the politics of tobacco include four for ITV in the 1970s: Dying for a Fag (ITV's This Week 1975); Licence to Kill; Ashes to Ashes (ITV's This Week 1976); and Death in the West. The Marlboro Story. In the 1980s he continued his investigations into the tobacco industry with BBC TV's Panorama programme: A Dying Industry (BBC 1980) and The Habit the Government can’t Break (BBC 1985). He also published his book, ''Smoke Ring. The Politics of Tobacco'' in 1985. In May/June 2014, a new BBC series, Burning Desire was aired with Taylor as the presenter.

In 2014, he was awarded a Royal Television Society lifetime achievement award and a BAFTA special award for his career's contribution to factual and current affairs television. Awarding Taylor his BAFTA, Sir Jeremy Isaacs described him as "Mr Valiant for the Truth", referencing John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. In 2015, Taylor secured the first British television interview with former CIA analyst Edward Snowden, living in exile in Moscow, for Panorama.

Personal life
He was married to fellow journalist Susan McConachy from 1974 until her death on 16 November 2006. They had two children, Ben and Sam. He is the older brother of John Taylor, former Presenter & Producer/Director LWT's The London Programme and reporter on Panorama worked on ITV's This Week,  presented Carlton TV's Inside Crime, and worked for Channel Five's Crime Report, Reported on London News Network's London Tonight, and was at BBC News.

Fish (British TV series)

Fish is a British television drama series first broadcast on BBC One in 2000. It features Paul McGann as the title character, alongside Jemma Redgrave and Mick Ford. It was created by Stephen Tredre, written by Tredre and Matthew Bardsley, and co-produced by the BBC and Principal Pictures.

Premise
Jonathan "Fish" Vishnevski (McGann) is an employment lawyer who specialises in industrial tribunals. His wife has left him and gone abroad, leaving him to look after their young son, Simon (Jack Stanley). In court, he often comes up against lawyer Joanna Morgan (Redgrave), who becomes his love interest. His friend Trevor (Ford) is an amateur philosopher who owns a mobile burger bar.

Additional characters include Ivan Vishnevski (Philip Voss), Harold Cornice (Stephen Moore), Sarah Cornice (Jill Baker) and Jess Taylor (Daniela Denby-Ashe).

Creation and production
The series was inspired by the brother of producer Miriam Segal and conceived by Stephen Tredre in 1994, who took up screenwriting due to illness. After obtaining funding from Principal Pictures, Segal approached ITV and then the BBC with the programme, who both turned it down. It was then offered to the BBC's regional drama department, BBC Birmingham, and the series was commissioned. After reorganisation within the BBC, the series was announced in 1999 by the corporation's drama head, Mal Young.

The first episode was written by Tredre before his death in 1997, with the rest of the series completed by Matthew Bardsley.

The series was filmed in London and cost £3 million.

Redgrave's marriage to lawyer Tim Owen did not put her off taking the role of lawyer Joanna Morgan, telling Rob Driscoll for the Birmingham Post: "I've been dying to play a lawyer for the longest time, precisely because I know that world quite well now. I'm just worried if people spot mistakes, after all this seemingly reliable research!" Also speaking ahead of the first broadcast, McGann described his character as having "depth" and said of the "intelligent" writing: "It will really engage people. They'll find themselves strangely intrigued. This is the sort of television we should be making, television that makes you think."

Reception
In his review for The Herald, David Belcher found the first episode "a bizarre, overly-complex TV hybrid", categorising it as "so-wrong-it's-only-right-to-watch-aghast-and-snicker". Tony Purnell in The Mirror wasn't 'hooked', and Frances Grant in The New Zealand Herald said that "Fish doesn't yet seem to be an interesting enough character to single-handedly carry a series", with the review concluding with a quote from the series: "You lot in suits – you're very bland."

Rukai language

Rukai is a Formosan language spoken by the Rukai people in Taiwan. It is a member of the Austronesian language family. The Rukai language comprises six dialects, which are Budai, Labuan, Maga, Mantauran, Tanan and Tona. The number of speakers of the six Rukai dialects is estimated to be about 10,000. Some of them are monolingual. There are varying degrees of mutual intelligibility among the Rukai dialects. Rukai is notable for its distinct grammatical voice system among the Formosan languages.

Classification
Paul Jen-kuei Li considers Rukai to be the first language to have split from the Proto-Austronesian language. Below are the estimated divergence dates of various Formosan languages from Li (2008:215).

 * 1) Proto-Austronesian: 4,500 BCE
 * 2) Rukai: 3,000 BCE
 * 3) Tsouic: 2,500 BCE (split into Tsou and Southern Tsouic around 1,000 BCE)
 * 4) Most other splits: 2,000 to 0 BCE
 * 5) Western Plains: 1,000 CE

Classifications by various scholars repeatedly find that Rukai is one of the, and often the, most divergent of the Austronesian languages. It is therefore prime evidence for reconstructing Proto-Austronesian. Ross (2009) notes that to date, reconstructions had not taken Rukai into account, and therefore cannot be considered valid for the entire family.

Dialects
Rukai is unique for being the only Formosan language without a focus system.

Tanan Rukai is also the Formosan language with the largest consonant inventory, with 23 consonants and 4 vowels having length contrast. Tanan Rukai also makes an animate/inanimate instead of a personal/non-personal one as most other Formosan languages do.

Mantauran is one of the most divergent dialects. Li (2001) classifies them as follows:

 * Rukai
 * Mantauran (萬山 Wanshan, also 'oponoho): 250–300 speakers
 * Maga–Tona
 * Maga (馬加 Majia)
 * Tona (多納 Duona)
 * Budai–Tanan (Rukai Proper)
 * Budai (霧台 Wutai)
 * Tanan (大南 Danan; also Taromak)
 * Tanan (大南 Danan; also Taromak)

Geographic distribution
According to Zeitoun (2007:4), there are a total of 6 Rukai dialects spoken in 12 different villages.

Together, Maga, Tona, and Mantauran are also known as the "Lower Three Villages." Rukai have also recently in Sandimen Township and southern Sanhe Village, Majia Township, where there are many Paiwan. Sanhe Village is also where the Budai Rukai originally lived in before they relocated to Wutai Township in the mid-1900s.

Phonology
Most Rukai dialects have four vowels and retroflex and interdental consonants.

Budai Rukai has four vowels,. Words ending phonemically in a consonant add an echo vowel, one of, which unlike morphophonemic vowels is often lost in derivation. is used when the last vowel of the stem is.

Due to influence from Paiwan and Chinese, younger speakers sometimes pronounce as, and in Tanan Rukai, younger speakers may merge  into.

In Mantauran Rukai, the voiced stops have spirantized: *b to, *d and *ɖ to , and *g to.

The following table displays the consonant inventory of Mantauran Rukai, with written representations that differ from their IPA representations given in angle brackets (Zeitoun 2007):

 * 4 vowels, written a, i, e, o

Morphology
Basic Mantauran Rukai syllables take on a basic (C)V structure, with words usually ranging from 2 to 4 syllables long (Zeitoun 2007). There are four morphological processes.

 * 1) Affixation
 * 2) Stem modification
 * 3) Reduplication
 * 4) Compounding

The following reduplication patterns occur in Budai Rukai (Austronesian Comparative Dictionary).

 * Reduplication of the noun stem
 * N + RED 'a great amount'
 * N(umeral or period) + RED 'lasting for a period of...'

 * Reduplication of the verb stem
 * V + RED 'continuous, keep doing, do repeatedly'
 * V + RED 'future'
 * V (stative) + RED 'intensity, comparatively greater'

In Budai Rukai, reduplication of a bound stem can also be used to create certain basic nouns and verbs, such as 'thunder,' 'mountain,' and 'to scrape' (Austronesian Comparative Dictionary).

Based on an analysis of the Budai (Kucapungan) dialect, Rukai is said to be unusual among Formosan languages for having a dichotomous active-passive voice system, (Chen & Sung, 2005) which may include voices such agent, patient, locative, or instrumental focus. Stan Starosta considers this to be an indication that Rukai is the first offshoot of the Austronesian language family (Zeitoun, 2007). However, this dichotomy has been challenged (Chen, 2005).

 * Active / Agent Focus (AF): prefix u-/w-
 * Passive / Patient Focus (PF): prefix ki-

Syntax
Unlike most other Formosan languages, Rukai has an accusative case-marking system instead of an ergative one typical of Austronesian-aligned languages (Zeitoun 2007). There are two types of clauses in Mantauran Rukai:

 * 1) Nominal
 * 2) Verbal

Complementalization can take on four strategies (Zeitoun 2007).

 * 1) Zero strategy (i.e. paratactic complements)
 * 2) Verb serialization
 * 3) Nominalization
 * 4) Causativization

Definite objects can be topicalized in both active and passive sentences.

Function words
Below are some Mantauran Rukai function words from Zeitoun (2007).

 * la – and
 * mani – then

Word classes
Zeitoun (2007) distinguishes eleven word classes in Mantauran Rukai:.

 * 1) Nouns
 * 2) Verbs
 * 3) Pronouns
 * 4) Demonstratives
 * 5) Numerals
 * 6) Adverbs
 * 7) Phrasal elements
 * 8) Clausal elements
 * 9) Interclausal elements
 * 10) Exclamations
 * 11) Interjections

Verbs
Below are some Mantauran Rukai verb affixes from Zeitoun (2007).

 * Seeing as how it's also used in the SBS article (which is really long), I'd rather not edit the SBS article to autocollapse it. I recreated the header here instead. Let's see how that works out. epicgenius (talk) 01:19, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

 * What do you want me to do about this?--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 22:41, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't think the stop name needs to be sortable because it's a chronological list of stops. However, maybe the "Direction" and "Connections" columns can be sorted.
 * Well by all means make the other columns sortable. If not, then there's considerable overlinking going on (i.e. NYC Bus, M12, M11 etc are all overlinked).  The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 06:59, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Tiny Yong

Thiên Hương (born 8 February 1944), usually credited as Tiny Yong, is a singer who was popular in France during the 1960s. She was born in French Indochina, and is of Vietnamese ancestry.

Biography
Tôn Nữ Thị Thiên Hương was born in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, within French Indochina at the time. Her father was a doctor. As a child, she and her family moved to Saigon, and she studied at the Couvent des Oiseaux in Đà Lạt. In 1958, the family moved to Paris, where her father continued as a doctor and her mother opened a Vietnamese restaurant.

Thien Huong took acting lessons, and made her first appearances as a stage actress in 1960, in Albert Camus' Les Justes and Jean Cocteau's L’Épouse injustement soupçonnée. She also sang Vietnamese and French songs in a local cabaret, La table du mandarin. In 1961, Thien Huong released her first EP, Le Monde de Suzie Wong, on which she was accompanied by Jacques Loussier. She appeared on television in the shows L’École des vedettes and Discorama, and in Robert Hossein's film Le Jeu de la vérité. With singer Jean Philippe, she recorded "La Prison de bambou", which won the Prix Marco Polo de Venise in 1962. The same year, she appeared in Piero Pierotti's film, Marco Polo, sang on the soundtrack of Marcel Camus' film L’Oiseau de paradis, and continued with her television and nightclub appearances.

In 1963, Jacqueline and Henri Salvador signed her to their record label, Disques Salvador, and gave her the name Tiny Yong. Her first release on the label included the songs "En rêve", a version of Roy Orbison’s "In Dreams", and "Tais-toi petite folle", a version of The Shirelles' "Foolish Little Girl", both of which became popular. They were followed by "Je ne veux plus t’aimer", her version of Goffin and King's "I Can't Stay Mad at You", first recorded by Skeeter Davis. Tiny Yong became popular on the radio show Salut les copains, which promoted her as one of the new wave of "yé-yé" singers, and several of her recordings became chart hits in France. She continued to appear regularly on French television, and in commercials, and became known as "la yéyé du pays du sourire" (although she did not come from Thailand, sometimes called the "land of smiles").

In 1964 she released the EP Je t’attendrai, which included "Les garçons m’aiment", a version of the Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich song "When the Boy’s Happy (The Girl’s Happy Too)". Another EP included "Tiny", a semi-autobiographical song, and she recorded several songs written by Henri Salvador, as well as a version of the Beatles' "Eight Days a Week" ("Huit jours par semaine"). She also appeared in the film Les Parias de la gloire, and in 1965 took part in the Rose d'Or contest. In April 1966 she made her last television appearance. She ended her recording career soon afterwards, following a disagreement with Jacqueline and Henri Salvador.

She appeared in Nicolas Gessner‘s 1967 film, La Blonde de Pékin. In 1968, she returned to Saigon where she performed in cabaret before deciding to retire from public performances. She returned to Paris in 1970, and made a final acting appearance in the television series Allô Police.

After retiring from the entertainment industry, she married and set up several restaurants, at first in Paris and later in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Pont-sur-Yonne, and Montpellier. She continues to live in Montpellier.

A compilation of her recordings was issued on CD in 2017.

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

Reviewer: The Rambling Man (talk · contribs) 15:39, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Comments That's all I have, another thoroughly engaging article. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 17:08, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Could link "controlled landing on the ocean surface" to Water landing?
 * Done.
 * I would link United States Coast Guard first time.
 * Done.
 * "search for the plane and any potential survivors. The week-long search eventually became the largest search " bit too "search"y and also "eventually" used twice in quick succession makes for slightly clunky prose.
 * Removed eventually, changed to week-long hunt
 * Summary says "Crash, wreckage disappearance" but the lead states that pieces of the wreckage were found?
 * Changed to "Crash, cause undetermined".
 * named "Romance of the Skies".[5] italics elsewhere, not quotes.
 * Done.
 * "36 passengers and 8 crew members ..." avoid starting sentence with a number.
 * Done.
 * "loaded ... loaded" in one sentence is repetitive.
 * Done.
 * " after more time had passed" superfluous, perhaps "More than 90 minutes later, at 8:42..."
 * Done.
 * "It was the second worst accident... " feels like odd placement. You have yet to describe the number of victims etc, just that it was declared "down" at this point.
 * Moved it to the second paragraph of the Aircraft section.
 * "By Saturday, the "... I've lost track of what day we were on...
 * I changed it to "By the next day..." but had mentioned earlier that Flight 7 left San Francisco on Friday mornings.
 * "had expanded" been expanded, it didn't do it spontaneously or autonomously.
 * Done.
 * " port of Long Beach, California with its" comma after Cali.
 * Done.
 * "largest search in the Pacific Ocean to date" by "to date" do you mean "at that time"?
 * I mean up to that time. "At that time" implies that it was the largest operation that was happening at that particular moment.
 * "the Island of Hawaii" is "the Island of" necessary? is Island capitalised?
 * The Island of Hawaii is used to distinguish the island itself, which is the eastern-most of the multiple islands that make up the state of Hawaii. In the article Hawaii (island), the "Island" in the proper name is capitalized in the lead, which is what I had glanced at originally, but most of the rest of the article uses lowercase in the "island of..." construction.  The AP style guide suggests using lower case when using "island of..." so I changed it.
 * "but did not find anything." could tighten to "but found nothing".
 * Done.
 * "plane found wreckage and bodies in the " as it was flying, presumably that was 'observed' from onboard rather than "found"?
 * Done.

Richard Scudder

Richard Betts Scudder (May 13, 1913 – July 11, 2012) was an American newspaper pioneer, newspaper publisher, journalist, and co-founder of the MediaNews Group, the second largest newspaper company in the United States. He served as MediaNews' chairman from 1985 until 2009.

Scudder is also considered an innovator and pioneer of newspaper recycling. He founded the Garden State Paper Company, which later became one of the world's largest newspaper recycling companies.

Biography
Scudder was born to Edward Wallace Scudder and Katherine Hollifield Scudder, on May 13, 1913, in Newark, New Jersey.

Scudder graduated from the Loomis Chaffee School before attaining a bachelor's degree in Economics with honors from Princeton University in 1935. He enlisted in the U.S. Army during World War II and served within Operation Annie, an Allied German-language counter-propaganda radio station. Scudder earned the rank of Major and the Bronze Star. In 1944, he married Elizabeth Shibley. Scudder returned to New Jersey from Europe in 1946 and became reporter at the Boston Herald, followed by a journalist position for the Newark Evening News, which his grandfather had founded in 1883. He later became the paper's publisher from 1952 until its closure in 1972. By then, the Scudder family had already sold the paper to Media General, in 1970.

In 1983, Scudder partnered with William Dean Singleton to purchase the Gloucester County Times. The South Jersey daily newspaper, which had a daily circulation of approximately 26,000 at the time, would become the first newspaper of the duo's MediaNews Group. Scudder and Singleton, who had been friends before they became business partners, soon purchased other newspapers - four in California and four in Ohio, financed largely by Scudder. Today, MediaNews, a privately held company, owns such major papers as The Denver Post, The Detroit News, The Oakland Tribune, The San Jose Mercury News and The El Paso Times. Overall, MediaNews has 57 daily newspapers in 11 states with a combined circulation of 2.3 million, making it the nation's second-largest newspaper company after the Gannett Company. MediaNews' combined, nationwide circulation stands at 2.3 million, which are published by 57 daily newspapers nationwide. MediaNews also owns 122 nondaily newspapers in nine states. Scudder served as MediaNews' chairman from 1985 until 2009; since 2010 Singleton is the company's executive board chairman.

Scudder died at his home in the Navesink section of Middletown, New Jersey, on July 11, 2012, at the age of 99. His wife Elizabeth died at 84 in 2003. Scudder was survived by one son, three daughters, eight grandchildren, several grand-nieces and nephews, and a few cousins and close extended family members.

Ancestry
Scudder was named for Richard Betts Scudder, an ancestor who fought in the French and Indian War. Another ancestor, Colonel Nathaniel Scudder, was one of two delegates from New Jersey who signed the Articles of Confederation.

In September 1883, Scudder's grandfather, Wallace M. Scudder, founded the former Newark Evening News. Scudder's father, Edward Wallace Scudder, operated the newspaper.

Eight generations of Scudders have graduated from Princeton University, starting with a member of the school's first class. According to its alumni department, the Scudders are Princeton's largest alumni family. A small sample includes U.S. Rep. John A. Scudder (1775), Rev. John Scudder M.D. (1811), Edward Wallace Scudder I (1841) Hon. George Drake Scudder (1876), Edward W. Scudder II (1903), Charles Damarin Scudder I (1907), Charles Damarin Scudder II (1935), and Charles Damarin Scudder III (1963), and brother Edward Wallace Scudder III (1935). Richard Scudder's son and multiple grand kids have attended Princeton University. Richard B. Scudder (1935), and Edward W. Scudder (1935), together made the gift for Scudder Plaza in honor of their father, Edward Wallace Scudder (1903).

The Unicyclopedia/Safety

Unicycling is a relatively safe sport but at the same time it can be as dangerous as you want it to be. If you want to learn the basics, and if you have some prior experience with exercise, it's very unlikely that you will sustain any serious injuries.

A gym floor is probably the safest place to start practicing. In case you lose balance getting off a unicycle is easy, you just put a foot down on the ground.

Unicycle safety is a bit different from bicycle safety. People who are new to unicycling tend to use their hands as to cushion most of their falls, but this is not the ideal method to land as it's easy to sprain or even break your wrist using this method. If you don't know what you are doing, use wrist guards or at least gloves. Falling backwards is also a risk, so a helmet is recommended.

Most beginner cycles have plastic pedals that will only cause slight pain and maybe some brushing when the inevitable happens and it smacks you in the shin, however if you have metal pedals, and in particular if you have pedals with bear claws, use leg armour. A slip from a bear claw pedal has a large possibility of tearing the skin and may require stitches. In general a bit of armour can be the difference between a painful bruise and another half hour of practice. More information about armour can be found in the Armour and Clothing section.

Remember to tie your shoelaces up or tuck them away so that they don't get caught in the cranks. If you notice your laces are caught in the cranks, and you get off quickly you should be okay, but you shouldn't rely on noticing it in time.

If your shoes come untied often, check out "Ian's Secure Shoelace Knot" for security. If your laces are too long, and the ends get caught, use one of the knots advertised as "shortens laces." See those knots and more on Ian's Shoelace Site
