2012 Indian Premier League spot fixing case

 * ... that 2012 Indian Premier League spot fixing case was a controversy which arose during 2012 Indian Premier League, leading to ban of five cricketers?
 * ALT1 - ... that KingsXI cricketer Srivastava negotiated up from Rs 5 lakh to 10 lakh to fix a game on TV?

 * Symbol question.svg Written July 6, nom July 10. Prose is 1563 bytes per DYKcheck.  The hook is properly sourced.  Refs are properly formatted.  It could be a stub.  There are only two paragraphs and there is some redundancy between them; more information is available in the sources.  The article might add, for example, "BCCI President N Srinivasan expressed surprise and outrage over the improprieties, reiterating the board's zero-tolerance policy for corruption,"  and, "Players were suspended less than 24 hours after the sting operation aired on TV."  (Both from the CricketCountry source.)   The hook is not especially "hooky" - it is more newslike.  See ALT1 for an alternative. — This being my first DYK review, I'd appreciate a second opinion. -- ke4roh (talk) 10:42, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Symbol redirect vote4.png Time for fresh eyes? --PFHLai (talk) 05:18, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I read this. I think it needs a bit more meat to it. This is my first review of DYK. Just letting you know. I think if there is continuous work needs to be done on the content and add more facts. Is the article on the Spot fixing or on the sting operation? Or is the sting operation the starting history of this spot fixing? Khyati Gupta (talk) 22:57, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I have also added a small Stub Template on the article. Khyati Gupta (talk) 23:17, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Symbol possible vote.svg I concur that it's still a stub, and they are not eligible for DYK. Whilst technically just long enough, and assessing it as a stub is somewhat subjective, I'm now the third editor who talks about this being a stub, and as such, it needs to be expanded further. It also needs a good copyedit (Where, for example, can you bruy players, or have they possibly been bought? Numbers under 11 are to be spelled out.).  Schwede 66  23:30, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think it is a stub too. Expansion of the sting operation would be nice. If you can find out "who, what, when where and why" info of several sting operations done, it can add up to the article. :) And some of the info of the article is relevant to this article which i believe is not included in one of your citations. So you can add this and make your article even better. More news on several sting operations can be found here As an Indian, this is a very interesting topic to me so I am more than willing to seek more resources if necessary. Khyati Gupta  (talk) 23:42, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Give me today's time, and I will fix it. :) ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛  Talk Email 07:22, 11 August 2012 (UTC) Done. :)  ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛  Talk Email 09:22, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

I don't know. I still don't think it is good enough for DYK. It is difficult to see if the article is on the spot fixing or on the sting operation. The structure of the article is confusing. From the wording, it seems like the only evidence behind the spot fixing is the sting operation. For example: "According to the sting operation, some of the players revealed that they have received more money from the franchises' owners than what they are brought for in the players auction; they also said that this money was black money". "India TV's managing editor Vinod Kapri said,"We had been working on this sting since May last year". Is the the only sting operation done? Was this the sting operation which was the first ever to reveal the tactics of the IPL? If not, what makes it so unique? Were there more and more stings done? Also, this article is still a stub. And further recommendations might improve the article so that it can be improved. :D Sorry if I sound stingy. I just want to make sure these things. If not, someone else can jump in and help more. Thanks Khyati Gupta  (talk) 22:10, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Also one more thing. The hook needs rewording. An emphasis on sting operation needs to be visible in the hook. Also, instead of hooking the article as "On TV", hook it with better wording. Again, I do not mean to be anal. I am just trying to make your article better. Do not take this personally. Thanks :] Khyati Gupta  (talk) 22:19, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Symbol possible vote.svg The article has been expanded and it's no longer a stub. The other concerns that I raised above remain.  Schwede 66  03:49, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Just some clarification: It all started with a sting operation. The BCCI took this seriously, and after the investigation the players were called to the office. They were given a chance to put forward their opinion, and each player was guilty. This article covers both the sting operation and its aftermath, and the following bans. The sting operation is the only proof, but the BCCI has taken it as authentic. As of the copy-edit, I admit that there might be some problems, but as of my knowledge, that is not a requirement for DYK. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛  Talk Email 09:00, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote4.png Regarding a copyedit, I have always regarded it as a requirement that something is written in proper English before it is mainpage-ready. Rule D13 may cover that, but I admit that it's not specifically spelled out. I thus invite other DYK regulars to have a read and decide whether it's 'good enough' or not. From my perspective, the copyedit is the one remaining issue.  Schwede  66  18:53, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

 * May I recommend a better flowing hook? And you can tag "sting operation" with your article? Khyati Gupta (talk) 01:46, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * ALT3 - ... that during a sting operation, Kings XI Punjab cricketer Shalabh Srivastava was caught game fixing with Rs 5 lakh to 10 lakh?

 * Also, I saw you add this nominate article to this article. Add this link into your nominated article if you haven't done so yet. Its not a requirement but will only make it better :) Khyati Gupta (talk) 02:56, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Note that I've been asked by Guptakhy to look over her shoulder, as she's new at DYK & WP, to ensure that she gets things right. I've edited her latest suggestion and turned the hook into ALT3 with links.  Schwede 66  06:02, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you Schwede66 for being awesomely helpful :) Lets hope that this hook and this DYK makes it :) Khyati Gupta (talk) 06:10, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the alt. However change Kings XI to King XI Punjab, an Srivastava to Shalabh Srivastava. As of the copyedit, I will try to further fix it. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛  Talk Email 10:07, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Hook fixed. ;) Khyati Gupta (talk) 12:03, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I have further tried to copy-edit it. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛  Talk Email 06:40, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg It is best that user: Schwede66 or any other user looks it over as I have recommended a hook so I might have conflict of interest. Khyati Gupta (talk) 19:06, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Symbol possible vote.svg Each of the three remaining ALTs mention a specific amount of money (which appears to have been doubled); however, these numbers appear nowhere in the article. It isn't enough that they be mentioned in the sources, they must be in the article itself and cited there if it's going to appear in the hook. A possible solution is to end ALT3 after "caught game fixing"; the bribe amounts aren't necessary, and make the hook less interesting to readers outside of India. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:40, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Noting that I have given it a bit of a copyedit. Yngvadottir (talk) 04:30, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Please see the proposed hook below: Khyati Gupta (talk) 04:53, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * ALT4 - ... that during a sting operation, Kings XI Punjab cricketer Shalabh Srivastava was caught game fixing?
 * Since I don't know the first thing about cricket, you have to forgive me for my ignorance. But I note that the term game fixing does not appear in the target article. I'm assuming that it's the same as spot-fixing, but if that is the case, can we align the choice of words between the hook and the article?  Schwede 66  05:18, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

OK, cool. How about:
 * ALT5 - ... that during a sting operation, Kings XI Punjab cricketer Shalabh Srivastava was caught spot-fixing? Khyati Gupta (talk) 05:25, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * He was not caught spot fixing, he was caught to be willing to do so. Hindustan  Zinda bad 09:14, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

I think we need a new legit hook coming straight out of the article with a citation at the end of the sentence. Khyati Gupta (talk) 17:17, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Yea, that sounds good. A little long, though. But it sounds legit. Khyati Gupta (talk) 17:40, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * ALT6 ... that a television station's sting operation led to the banning of five Indian Premier League cricketers who admitted receiving black money and being willing to spot-fix?  Yngvadottir (talk) 17:39, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I've added a hyphen to the above hook.  Schwede 66  18:40, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I think we need someone who was not involved with editing the article to be reviewing it. Khyati Gupta (talk) 18:42, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg I'll pass this, but I proposer a much shorter hook:
 * ALT7: "... that a television station's sting operation led to the banning of five Indian Premier League cricketers?" Since technically speaking this is my own hook I can't technically pass this--perhaps the DYK volunteer who considers passing this on can give a kind of final OK. Drmies (talk) 03:54, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

I pinged a couple of people. Lets see if anyone helps out :) Khyati Gupta (talk) 05:00, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT7 approved: it is sourced in the article, and is much snappier than ALT6, which I have struck, along with all the other earlier hooks, each of which had problems. Tick is for the hook; the rest of the article was approved by Drmies. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:02, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Note: I trimmed some more, for reasons explained in edit summaries. Fortunately the article is still long enough. Drmies (talk) 05:22, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Etiquette

This learning project is about exploring modern etiquette and manners in the context of Wikiversity.

Common practices
This section lists common practices. Why do these common practices work? When do they fail and why?

 * 1) Think before you act. Think about whether each action is going to make things better or worse. If an action might make things worse, give active consideration to not doing it.
 * 2) Take care writing on topics you are passionate about. Create learning resources in a way that does not argue for one point of view. Remember that it is difficult to be unbiased when you are biased.
 * 3) Avoid drama. Focus on content, not on people. Look for common ground. Your free time could be better spent to improve Wikiversity's content.
 * 4) Don't take Wikiversity too seriously. Remember that Wikiversity is a hobby and not an obligation or commitment. Keep a good community spirit up and make good edits as a community.
 * 5) Listen to other people and acknowledge that you understand other people's point of views. Text communications can be ambiguous and often more difficult to interpret than speech. Text comes without facial expressions, vocal inflection, or body language. It is easy to misjudge other editors' moods and intentions. Make your proposals and responses clear. If someone disagrees with you, make sure you try to understand why. Try to see where they are coming from. Take the time and effort to explain why you think your suggestion(s) might be preferable, and answer their questions politely. Don't ignore them (unless it's for a very good reason, i.e they themselves are being unreasonable.) Respect them. Restating people's view fairly and accurately, like "You seem to be saying [paraphrase of opposite opinion or suggestion]," or "As I understand you...," acknowledges that you are paying attention and not just waiting to interject with points of your own. Even if you are sure you haven't misunderstood what someone is trying to say to you, listening carefully and communicating effectively will help keep you from missing something important.
 * 6) Acknowledge and apologize when you are wrong or being unfair. You are only human. Sometimes you make mistakes and are not always right. In the heat of the moment you might sometimes say things that were better left unsaid; the least you can then do is make amends and admit your mistakes. Why argue infinitely when you can apologize?
 * 7) Say something nice. People typically only bother to comment or use talk pages when they have a problem or complaint. Unsurprisingly this can create a negative atmosphere that leads to heated arguments, annoyance and people taking offense, whether or not that was your intent. If you like what you read say so! Do not assume that by not complaining that people ought to know their work is appreciated. A few compliments can proactively smooth things over and make people less likely to simply take offense at your criticism. A safe approach is to "sandwich" your complaint between compliments, with something positive at the beginning and end with your commentary.
 * 8) If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. If you're in a situation where you can't think of anything nice to say and saying something is likely to just anger people, then don't say anything at all. Often times someone else shares the same views. Allow someone who's more level headed to discuss the issues instead.
 * 9) Assume the best about people whenever possible. Assume good faith. Wikiversity has worked remarkably well so far based on a policy of openness. This suggests that most people who visit do want to help and do succeed in trying to do so.
 * 10) Take it slow. There is no time limit for a discussion. If you're angry, take a break from posting or editing. Come back in a day or a week. You might find that someone else has made the change or comment you wanted while you were away.
 * 11) Limit and qualify your statement and try posting comments as questions, especially if you're not totally sure.  Blanket statements or statements asserting the truth of opinions that can inflame the reader and sometimes, if you identify it as your own personal point of view, it can help make it seem less insulting to those who disagree. In this way, you can still emphasize your strong feelings on the topic, and communicate exactly the same opinion, but do so in a less inflammatory way.
 * 12) Help moderate other people's disagreements when you come across them. This is the same concept as pulling apart the two people engaged in a fist fight. Sometimes it is best to just state that the discussion is too heated (in a metaphorical sense).
 * 13) Remove or summarize old complaints. Once you are fairly certain that the person you're critiquing has seen your complaint (e.g., they've responded to it), be honorable about removing or summarizing it. The participant will sometimes feel reluctant to remove criticism out of fear that it will make them appear fearful of evaluations from others. You can go even a step further and thank them for addressing (or at least considering) your issue.
 * 14) Avoid deleting things as a matter of principle. When you amend and edit, it is remarkable how you might see something useful in what you might be about to remove. Almost everyone – including you – has something useful to say. Deletion upsets people and makes them feel they have wasted their time; at the very least leave some indication of your rationale in an edit summary, if not in an entry on a talk page or in a message to a user or users you think might be perturbed by your action.
 * 15) Go play in a Project:Sandbox, especially one you've created yourself in your userspace. It gives you a chance to ease discipline and get a few things off your chest -- go ahead, you probably won't frighten the punters too much, but consider others and resist using anything likely to upset or distress a random visitor.
 * 16) Sometimes you just need to walk away. There are a countless numbers of users who can take over for you. If you are not making progress, do not waste your personal time. Take a time out and work on other resources, or take a break from Wikiversity in general. Go get some fresh air or cook up a nice snack in the kitchen. You can bookmark the learning resource and return in a week or two. Allow some other Wikiversity participants to handle the situation.
 * 17) Always be welcoming to people. Everyone has something of value to contribute. Encourage people and welcome their ideas, even ideas you disagree with or from someone you are in conflict with. When people are allowed to be heard and to participate, they are less likely to feel neglected or alienated. If people feel neglected or alienated valuable contributions may be lost.

Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine

Welcome to the Wikiversity learning project for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Participants in this learning project explore the science and practical applications for each year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

The Wikipedia articles about topics related to each Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine tens to be very technical descriptions of the underlying science. The goal of this learning project is to complement the Wikipedia articles in two ways. The first goal is to provide a user-friendly introduction to the topic. This means creating learning resources for people who would normally be unable to understand a technical Wikipedia article on the topic. These user-friendly introductions might particularly focus on the practical medical implications behind Nobel Prize-winning scientific research. The second goal is to provide learning resources that allow interested university students to explore the science behind each awarded Nobel Prize in more detail than is possible with the related Wikipedia article.

By year

 * 2006 Awarded to Andrew Z. Fire and Craig C. Mello for their discovery of RNA interference. Learn about RNA interference.

Cookbook:Pulses

| Basic foodstuffs

Pulses or beans are the (usually-dried) grains of legumes. They exclude the whole edible pods of legumes, such as green beans, which are categorized as vegetables.

Beans are a valuable food for vegetarians because they contain protein. They are also able to be dried and stored for long periods of time without harm, and then reconstituted simply by soaking and cooking. Many varieties of bean are only used in this way. Others are eaten fresh and steamed or boiled before use, needing much less preparation.

Soaking
Dried legumes are almost always improved by soaking. Soaking helps to draw out lectins and phytates in legumes, as well as activating enzymes that break down indigestible starches and sugars. These starches and sugars are responsible for flatulence, as they ferment in your gut to produce gas. Additionally, soaking improves the flavour and nutrition of dried legumes.

Soaking and simmering with repeated water changes is a good method for facilitating the enzyme activation and lectin and phytate extraction. Start by soaking the beans overnight in the refrigerator. Change the water, simmer for an hour, change the water, simmer for another hour, change the water... for a total of 4 to 6 hours.

Alternatively, soaking at room temperature or above (20-30°C / 68-86°F) for at least eight hours, or 14 hours for soybeans and red kidney beans, will achieve most of the same results and allow for significantly reduced cooking time. Always discard the soak water, and cook in fresh water. The soak water is full of nutrients, however, making it valuable food for plants.

The problem of flatulence is much more objectionable when beans (causing gas volume) are combined with a sulphur source (causing a strong smell). Sulphur sources include egg yolks and pale dried fruit.

Peas (including black-eye peas and chickpeas) are also members of the legume family, but they do not contain the indigestible sugars and starches that cause flatulence. They still do benefit from soaking, however, as this activates enzymes and improves the flavour and available nutrition of all legumes.

In regions where dried beans are uncommon, available stocks of dried beans will in all likelihood be quite old. These beans are perfectly edible, but may require drastically increased soaking and/or cooking times to become palatable and to acquire a proper texture. In any event, the cooking time of beans may be substantially shortened if one to two teaspoons of baking soda is mixed into the beans' soaking water. The beans should be rinsed afterwards.

No Soaking
A pressure cooker can be used to cook a batch of dry beans, with no pre-soaking, in less than an hour (30 minutes).

Never fill your inner pot of your pressure cooker more than 1/2 full when cooking beans.

Use 4 times more water than beans. For example, 2 measuring cups full of dried beans need 8 cups of water.

Uses
Legumes are used around the world, and are especially popular in India and the Middle-East.

They can be used in a wide variety of ways, including
 * Soups, such as mulligatawny and split pea soup
 * Indian dal
 * Bean salad
 * Breads including idli and dosa
 * Fermented into products such as soy sauce, miso, tempeh, and natto. See soy.
 * sprouts
 * They are frequently added to rasam

Julia Neilson

Julia Emilie Neilson (12 June 1868 – 27 May 1957) was an English actress best known for her numerous performances as Lady Blakeney in The Scarlet Pimpernel, for her roles in many tragedies and historical romances, and for her portrayal of Rosalind in a long-running production of As You Like It.

After establishing her reputation in a series of plays by W. S. Gilbert in 1888, Neilson joined the company of Herbert Beerbohm Tree, where she remained for five years, meeting her future husband, Fred Terry (brother to actresses Kate, Ellen, Marion and Florence Terry and great uncle of John Gielgud). With Terry, she played in London and on tour for nearly three decades. She was the mother of the actress Phyllis Neilson-Terry and actor Dennis Neilson-Terry.

Life and career
Neilson was born in London, the only child of Alexander Ritchie Neilson, a jeweller, and his wife, Emilie Davis, a member of a family of five Jewish sisters, many of whose offspring became actresses. Neilson's parents divorced shortly after her birth, and her father soon died, leaving her mother to struggle to support her child. Her mother much later married a solicitor, William Morris, the widower of the actress Florence Terry, elder sister of the actor Fred Terry, who had, by that time, married Neilson.

Neilson was an indifferent student. At the age of twelve, she was sent to a boarding school in Wiesbaden, Germany, where she learned to speak French and German and began to study music, discovering that she excelled at this. She returned to England to enter the Royal Academy of Music in 1884, at the age of fifteen, to study piano. She soon discovered that she had a talent as a singer, winning the Llewellyn Thomas Gold Medal (1885), the Westmoreland Scholarship (1886) and the Sainton Dolby Prize (1886). While at the Academy, in 1887, she sang at the St James's Hall and also played roles in amateur theatre.

Early stage career
Neilson met the dramatist W. S. Gilbert, who cast her in her first professional stage appearance in March 1888. She played Cynisca in a charity matinée of his play, Pygmalion and Galatea, at the Lyceum Theatre, and later that year, in the same play, she was the lead character, Galatea, in a similar matinée at the Savoy Theatre. Gilbert suggested that the statuesque young woman concentrate her career on acting rather than singing, and he coached her on acting. Her next role was Lady Hilda in a revival of Gilbert's Broken Hearts. Gilbert wrote the lyrics to a short song for her to sing during Act I, and she proposed that a fellow student of hers at the Royal Academy, Edward German, should set it to music. She then played Selene in a revival of Gilbert's The Wicked World. In November 1888, she created the role of Ruth Redmayne in Rutland Barrington's production of Gilbert's Brantinghame Hall.

These roles led to an invitation for Neilson to join Herbert Beerbohm Tree's company, in which she toured in Captain Swift, The Red Lamp and The Merry Wives of Windsor. She remained with Tree's company for five years at the Haymarket Theatre as a tragedienne, beginning with the role of Julie de Noirville in A Man's Shadow, which opened in September 1889.

In 1891, Neilson married another actor in the company, Fred Terry, the brother of Gilbert's former protégée, Marion Terry (and the actresses Kate, Ellen and Florence Terry). Neilson and her husband appeared together in Sydney Grundy's translation of the French play A Village Priest and numerous other productions together with Tree's company, including Beau Austin, Hamlet, Peril and Gilbert's Comedy and Tragedy (1890). She also played Drusilla Ives in The Dancing Girl (1891) by Henry Arthur Jones, and Terry and Neilson's daughter Phyllis was born in 1892. Neilson was soon back on stage as Lady Isobel in Jones's The Tempter (1893), and created the role of Hester Worsley in Oscar Wilde's A Woman of No Importance (1893).

A review of Neilson's performance in the play Ballad Monger in 1890 declared:
 * Miss Neilson's really wonderful singing took the curtain up on the very keynote of the beautiful and pathetic play. And to her singing no higher tribute can be paid.  One of these days, we do not doubt, it will be possible to write in the same strain about her acting.  In that there is splendid promise.  And the promise will come the more near to performance when she is a trifle less conscious of her remarkable physical beauty, and of the fact that she has been to some extent rushed into her present position.

In June 1894, Neilson and Terry appeared together in Shall We Forgive Her? by Frank Harvey at the Adelphi Theatre, with Neilson as Grace. The next year, she played Lady Chiltern in Wilde's comedy An Ideal Husband at the Haymarket under the management of Lewis Waller. She gave birth to her second child, Dennis, in October 1895. Two months later, the family travelled to America to perform with John Hare's company. There they played together in New York in The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith by Arthur Wing Pinero, with Neilson as Agnes.

In 1896, they returned to England where, at the St James's Theatre, Neilson played Princess Flavia in The Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope, remaining at that theatre for two years. There she played Rosalind in the extremely successful run of As You Like It (in which role she toured North America in 1895 and 1910). She played the title role in Pinero's The Princess and the Butterfly in 1897.

Her husband appeared with her in The Tree of Knowledge and other plays from October 1897 until the summer of 1898; her roles included Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing. Next, they appeared in The Gipsy Earl. Again with Tree's company, now at Her Majesty's Theatre, Neilson was Constance in King John (1899) (and appeared in an early short silent movie recreating King John's death scene at the end of the play) and Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream (1900). They then toured in As You Like It.

Later years
The couple entered into management together in 1900, producing and starring in Sweet Nell of Old Drury by Paul Kester. They would continue to produce plays together for the next 30 years, most notably, The Scarlet Pimpernel (1905 at the New Theatre), which they also starred in and, with J. M. Barstow, adapted for the stage from Baroness Orczy's manuscript. Despite scathing reviews from the critics, the play was a record-breaking hit and played for more than 2,000 performances, then enjoying numerous revivals.

Neilson's roles also included the title role in Kester's adaptation of Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall (1907). Neilson's and Terry's productions continued to favour historical romances or comedy melodramas, including Henry of Navarre by William Devereux (1909 at the New Theatre). Henry and Sweet Nell became their signature pieces during many tours of the British provinces and during their US tour in 1910. They also produced and starred with much success in For Sword or Song by Robert Legge and Louis Calvert (1903), Dorothy o' the Hall by Paul Kester and Charles Major (1906), The Popinjay by Boyle Lawrence and Frederick Mouillot (1911), Mistress Wilful by Ernest Hendrie (1915), The Borderer (1921), The Marlboroughs (1924), and The Wooing of Katherine Parr by William Devereux (1926). They also starred in A Wreath of a Hundred Roses (1922), which was a masque by Louis N. Parker at the Duke's Hall to celebrate the Royal Academy's centenary. In 1926, Neilson starred alongside Lawrence Grossmith in a revival of Henry of Navarre, which toured the provinces. She later starred in This Thing Called Love in 1929.

Her son Dennis died of pneumonia in 1932, and her husband, Fred Terry, died in 1933. Neilson retired from the stage after a run as Josephine Popinot in the revival of the farce Vintage Wine by Seymour Hicks and Ashley Dukes at Daly's Theatre. In 1938, she was given a testimonial luncheon to mark her fiftieth anniversary as a performer. Neilson made a brief return to the stage in 1944 to play Lady Rutven in The Widow of 40 by Heron Carvic. She wrote a memoir entitled, This For Remembrance, which gives an account of her life in the theatre business. Her children with Terry, Phyllis and Dennis, were both actors. Her first cousin was the actress Hilda Hanbury, whose descendants became the Fox acting dynasty.

Neilson died in a hospital in Hampstead, London, after a fall at her home, in 1957 at the age of 88. She was cremated at Golders Green, and she and her husband are both buried at Hampstead Cemetery in London.

Portal talk:Writing Center

The traditional university writing center is based on students coming in with papers and getting personal attention. How could we arrange it so that students can submit papers for comments? I am in the second year of working in a writing center, and I would be interested in developing this part of the wiki further. --Max 11:10, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

To continue that idea, we need to have a link saying "Submit your paper here" or some such. At the writing center where I work we have an online writing lab. Anybody anywhere (though it is mostly our students and a few local high school students) can submit a paper and get a 1/4 page to 1 page response (sometimes longer if we are feeling REALLY verbose). I would be happy to write a brief article describing how we respond to papers. Once we actually had people submitting papers, I could comment on them and then in the discussion area talk about why I commented in the way that I did. One big question for this: how are we going to attract people here to get their papers edited? Is putting an 'ad' in the Wikipedia reference for Writing Centers valid? Or just word of mouth? Just things to think about. --Max 11:28, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * It's also important that they be able to submit their papers privately; to help avoid both class-wide cheating and pre-publication problems that students may face if the papers were simply plastered all over the internet on Wikiversity. Jade Knight 21:36, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

You might want to use the wikiversity account at MySpace to somehow announce this facility. --Smithgrrl 03:48, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

On another note, I'm available and could possibly help with this project. Leave me a message if you need help with something. Jade Knight 21:36, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

An Idea
Hello everybody, may I add this idea on how to submit a paper?

There shall be a page named submissions in this address Portal:Writing Center/Submissions includes instruction to the submitting way, and a list of submitted papers. Anybody wishes to submit a paper of their own to be read should create an individual page in the portal domain with this address: Portal:Writing Center/Submissions/The Paper's name, then go back to the submission page to list their papers their. The comments on the paper should be in the paper's talk page. --Haitham 22:23, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Essays and essay contests
Essays are an important part of University writing activities. We now have a place and a category for essay contest listing and formation. If this portal is to conduct essay contests through a subpage, please attach Category:Wikiversity Essay Contests to that page and list it at Essay Contests. Thanks CQ 03:13, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Fiction-Writing-Support-Group
A friend of mine (User:JWSchmidt) has recently started the Fiction writing support group. Do you think there should be a link to it from the writing center?
 * Be bold. --JWSchmidt 14:56, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

More content needed!
This place looks pretty empty. Maybe we can get some discussion and activity started up? Here's some of my suggestions, tell me what you think: --Luai lashire 02:11, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't see any such link on the page, so I'm assuming the paper submissions idea never materialized. If everyone agress with Haitham's idea, above, then I think we should implement it.
 * The writing center should probably encourage more writing resources and projects to develop. I'm planning on beginning a collaborative writing group when I'm less busy; what other projects can we cultivate?
 * More links to more things. I can name a good one off the top of my head:  Duotrope's Digest, a search engine for writing markets to help you sell your work.
 * I think it would be cool to have a section on the portal page with links to current writing contests that people might be interested in.
 * We need more "learning by doing" projects, but also more straightforward information. Grammar how-to's, plot, etc.

 * There are many different forms of writing....I wonder what people have in mind when they say, "paper submissions"? --JWSchmidt 03:05, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I have listed the excellent Writing Center resources in the School of Language and Literature resource catalog--please post any new resources there! Thanks! --Trinity507 03:25, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

New Shepard

New Shepard is a fully reusable sub-orbital launch vehicle developed for space tourism by Blue Origin. The vehicle is named after Alan Shepard, who became the first American to travel into space and the fifth person to walk on the Moon. The vehicle is capable of vertical takeoff and landings. Additionally, it is also capable of carrying humans and customer payloads into a sub-orbital trajectory.

New Shepard consists of a booster rocket and a crew capsule. The capsule can be configured to house up to six passengers, cargo, or a combination of both. The booster rocket is powered by one BE-3PM engine, which sends the capsule above the Kármán line, where passengers and cargo can experience a few minutes of weightlessness before the capsule returns to Earth.

The launch vehicle is designed to be fully reusable, with the capsule returning to Earth via three parachutes and a solid rocket motor. The booster lands vertically on a landing pad 3.2km north of the launch pad. The company has successfully launched and landed the New Shepard launch vehicle 22 times with 1 partial failure deemed successful and 1 failure. The launch vehicle has a length of 15 m, a diameter of 3.7 m and a launch mass of 75000 kg. The BE-3PM engine produces 490 kN of thrust at liftoff.

History
The first development vehicle of the New Shepard development program was a sub-scale demonstration vehicle named Goddard that was built in 2006 following earlier engine development efforts by Blue Origin. Goddard was assembled at the Blue Origin facility in Kent, Washington, United States and made its first flight on 13 November 2006. A second test flight was scheduled for 2 December, but never took place.

According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records, two further flights were performed by Goddard. Blue Engine 1, or BE-1, was the first rocket engine developed by Blue Origin and was used in the company's Goddard development vehicle. On the path to developing the New Shepard launch vehicle, a crew capsule was also needed, and design was begun on a space capsule in the early 2000s. One development milestone along the way became public. On 19 October 2012, Blue Origin conducted a successful pad escape of a full-scale suborbital crew capsule at its West Texas launch site. For the test, the capsule fired its pusher escape motor and launched from a launch vehicle simulator. The Crew Capsule traveled to an altitude of 2307 ft under active thrust vector control before descending safely by parachute to a soft landing 1630 ft downrange.

In April 2015, Blue Origin announced that they had completed acceptance testing of the BE-3PM engine that would power the New Shepard launch vehicle. The company also announced that they intended to begin flight testing of the New Shepard later in 2015, with initial flights occurring as frequently as monthly, with "a series of dozens of flights over the extent of the sub-orbital test program [taking] a couple of years to complete". The same month, the FAA announced that the regulatory paperwork for the test program had already been filed and approved, and test flights were expected to begin before mid-May 2015. By February 2016, three New Shepard vehicles had been built. The first was lost in a test in April 2015, the second had flown twice (see below), and the third was completing manufacture at the Blue Origin factory in Kent, Washington, United States. In 2016, the Blue Origin team were awarded the Collier Trophy for demonstrating rocket booster reusability with the New Shepard human spaceflight vehicle.

On 20 July 20 2021, the company successfully completed its first crewed mission, Blue Origin NS-16, into space using its New Shepard launch vehicle, carrying passengers Jeff Bezos, his brother Mark Bezos, Wally Funk, and Oliver Daemen. The flight was approximately 10 minutes and crossed the Kármán line. New Shepard performed six crewed flights between July 2021 and August 2022, taking a mix of sponsored celebrities such as Wally Funk, William Shatner as well as paying customers. New Shepard ticket sales brought in $50 million through June 2022. The second and third crewed missions of New Shepard took place in October and December 2021. The Fourth crewed flight happened in March 2022. On June 4, 2022, New Shepard completed its fifth crewed mission launch and the sixth crewed flight took place on 4 August 2022. In September 2022, an uncrewed mission of the New Shepard had an anomaly due to a failure of the BE-3PM main engine. The launch escape system triggered and the capsule landed safely. The remaining New Shepard launch vehicles were grounded pending an FAA investigation into the incident. After a six-month investigation, Blue Origin pinpointed the cause of the anomaly as a thermal-structure failure of the BE-3PM engine nozzle caused a thrust misalignment that triggered the capsule's emergency escape system to activate. Blue Origin said in its press release that New Shepard flights would resume as soon as possible.

New Shepard 1
The first flight of the full-scale New Shepard vehicle was NS1, also called "Tail 1" and was conducted on 29 April 2015 during which an altitude of 93.5 km was attained. While the test flight itself was deemed a success, and the capsule was successfully recovered via parachute landing, the booster crash landed and was not recovered due to a failure of hydraulic pressure in the vehicle control system during descent. The capsule was called RSS Jules Verne.

New Shepard 2
The New Shepard 2 (NS2), also called "Tail 2", flight test article propulsion module made five successful flights in 2015 and 2016, being retired after its fifth flight in October 2016.

New Shepard 3
New Shepard 3 (NS3), also called "Tail 3", along with capsule RSS H. G. Wells, was modified for increased reusability and improved thermal protection; it includes a redesigned propulsion module and the inclusion of new access panels for more rapid servicing and improved thermal protection. NS3 is the third propulsion module built. It was completed and shipped to the launch site by September 2017, although parts of it had been built as early as March 2016. Flight tests began in 2017 and continued into 2019. The new Crew Capsule 2.0, featuring windows, is integrated to the NS3. NS3 will only ever be used to fly cargo; no passengers will be carried.

Its initial flight test occurred on 12 December 2017. This was the first flight flown under the regulatory regime of a launch license granted by the FAA. Previous test flights had flown under an experimental permit, which did not allow Blue Origin to carry cargo for which it is paid for commercially. This made the flight of NS3 the first revenue flight for payloads, and it carried 12 experiments on the flight, as well as a test dummy given the moniker "Mannequin Skywalker."

Since the maiden flight, "Blue Origin has been making updates to the vehicle ... intended primarily to improve operability rather than performance or reliability. Those upgrades took longer than expected" leading to a several-month gap in test flights. The second test flight took place on 29 April 2018. The 10th overall New Shepard flight, and the fourth NS3 flight, had originally been planned for December 2018, but was delayed due to "ground infrastructure issues." Following a diagnostics of the initial issue, Blue Origin rescheduled the launch for early 2019, after discovering "additional systems" that needed repairs as well. The flight launched on 23 January 2019 and successfully flew to space with a maximum altitude of 106.9 km. It has been used to test SPLICE ("Safe and Precise Landing – Integrated Capabilities Evolution"), a NASA lunar landing technology demonstration, on two separate flights in October 2020 (NS-13) and August 2021 (NS-17).

New Shepard 3 booster was destroyed during the NS-23 mission once it impacted the ground on 12 September 2022 after a booster engine anomaly led to the activation of the in-flight abort system. The capsule made a successful landing under parachutes. This was the ninth flight of NS3, and the flight was not carrying any people on board.

New Shepard 4
New Shepard 4 (NS4), also called "Tail 4", which flies with capsule RSS First Step, was the fourth propulsion module to be built and the first to carry human passengers. Bezos himself was a passenger. The vehicle was manufactured in 2018 and moved to the Blue Origin West Texas launch facility in December 2019. The uncrewed maiden launch of NS4 occurred on 14 January 2021. NS4 was successfully launched on 20 July 2021, with four passengers; Jeff Bezos was aboard this maiden crewed flight. On 13 October 2021, NS4 successfully launched and landed, carrying four passengers, including notable passenger William Shatner. On 11 December 2021, Blue Origin NS-19 successfully launched into space. This was the first time New Shepard carried six passengers, the full design passenger complement.

Crewed flights

 * 1) Blue Origin commenced the first flight carrying passengers on the 16th flight of New Shepard (NS-16) on 20 July 2021. One commercial seat was auctioned on 12 June 2021 for $28 million, with the proceeds going to Blue Origin's foundation Club for the Future, which promotes STEM careers. Due to scheduling problems, the auction winner did not participate and was rescheduled for a later one. The passengers aboard were Jeff Bezos, Mark Bezos, Wally Funk and Oliver Daemen. At 82, Funk was the oldest, and at 18, Daemen was the youngest person to travel into space.  Daemen's seat was paid for by his father Joes Daemen, who secured the seat as the second-highest bidder after the original winner withdrew, making Oliver Daemen the first commercial passenger of New Shepard. On December 22, 2021, the $28 million mystery auction winner was revealed to be Justin Sun, a Chinese cryptocurrency entrepreneur. Sun's bid was donated to Club for the Future, which distributed most funds to other space-related nonprofit organizations. Sun arranged with Blue Origin to purchase a dedicated New Shepard flight in late 2022, where he would choose five passengers to accompany him. As of May 2024 and after 6 crewed flights, Sun has not gone to space.
 * 2) The 2nd crewed flight, NS-18, took place on 13 October 2021, carrying four passengers, two of whom were paying passengers. The flight included William Shatner who flew as a guest of Blue Origin (i.e., he did not pay for his flight).
 * 3) The 3rd crewed flight, NS-19, successfully launched into space on 11 December 2021. The ship's passengers included NFL legend and television personality Michael Strahan and Alan Shepard's daughter Laura Shepard Churchley as "guests" of Blue Origin (i.e., they did not pay for their flights), and four other people who were paying passengers.
 * 4) The 4th crewed flight, NS-20, flew successfully on 31 March 2022. Onboard was Gary Lai, a Blue Origin employee and five paying passengers. This was the first flight with no celebrity passengers.
 * 5) The 5th crewed flight, NS-21, flew successfully on 4 June 2022. Onboard was educational YouTuber Katya Echazarreta, whose flight had been partly sponsored by Blue Origin, and partly by other sources, and five other paying passengers (it could be that it has been mistakenly claimed that Echazarreta's flight was sponsored by Blue Origin and instead it was fully sponsored by Space for Humanity, a nonprofit organization ). Also onboard was Blue Origin's first repeat customer for New Shepard launches, Evan Dick.
 * 6) The 6th crewed flight, NS-22, took place 4 August 2022. Among the passengers was Coby Cotton, one of the founders of the popular YouTube channel Dude Perfect. His flight was paid for by the organization MoonDAO, which works in cryptocurrency to "decentralize access to space", and bought two seats from Blue Origin. One of the seats was used by Cotton and one to be used in the future by Kejun Yan. It was reported that MoonDAO had paid about $2.5 million for the two seats on Blue Origin flights, or $1.25 million per seat. This is the first public figure available for the price to ride a Blue Origin rocket to suborbital space (not counting the $28 million winning bid in the auction for a seat on the first flight). However, Blue Origin tailors the price individually to each passenger, so it is hard to define the "ticket price" for New Shepard. This was the first flight (it may have been that the previous flight Blue Origin NS-21 on 4 June 2022 was actually the first such flight, if Katya Echazarreta's flight was not sponsored by Blue Origin, see above) where all six passengers were paying passengers (i.e., their flights were financed by other entities than Blue Origin).
 * 7) The 7th crewed flight, NS-25, flew successfully on 19 May 2024, 2 years after the in-flight abort of uncrewed mission NS-23. Onboard were six passengers, including Ed Dwight, the first African-American astronaut candidate who was controversially not selected to join NASA in 1961. Eventually, on NS-25, he became the oldest man to reach space.

As of June 2022, the company has generated more than $100M from the New Shepard space tourism program. In 2024, rocket Scientist Aisha Bowe will be the first black woman to fly with Blue Origin on the New Shepard rocket.

Design
New Shepard is a fully reusable, vertical takeoff, vertical landing (VTVL) space vehicle composed of two principal parts: a pressurized crew capsule and a booster rocket that Blue Origin calls a propulsion module. The New Shepard is controlled entirely by on-board computers, without ground control or a human pilot.

Booster
The booster rocket is powered by one BE-3PM engine with thrust vector control, fueled by liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. Aft fins stabilize the booster during ascent, steer it back to the landing pad during descent, and guide it effectively at speeds up to Mach 3. Ring and wedge fins near the top of the booster provide aerodynamic stability and reduce fuel consumption during descent. Drag brakes are also deployed during descent to increase drag and reduce speed. The gimbaling engine nozzle and aft fins work together to steer the booster, both using hydraulic actuators.

Crew capsule
The New Shepard crew capsule is a pressurized crew capsule designed to carry up to six people. It supports a "full-envelope" launch escape system that can separate the capsule from the booster rocket at any point during ascent. The Crew Capsule Escape Solid Rocket Motor (CCE-SRM) is sourced from Aerojet Rocketdyne. The interior volume of the capsule is 530 ft3, containing 6 windows, 6 reclined seats, and handholds for ease of movement in zero-g. At the center of the capsule is a cylinder housing the crew escape system. After separation from the booster, three parachutes deploy for a soft landing. In the event of a parachute failure, the capsule can still land safely with one of three parachutes deployed. Before touchdown, a retro-thrust system at the bottom of the capsule expels nitrogen gas to slow the landing to approximately 3.2 km/h (2 mph). Additionally, a crushable ring, 14 centimeters (5.5 inches) high, compresses upon impact on the underside of the capsule and acts as a decelerator to absorb g-forces.

Flight profile
New Shepard is launched 48 km north of Van Horn, Texas, at Launch Site One (LS1), and conducts a powered flight for about 110 seconds, up to an altitude of 40 km.

The booster and capsule then continues coasting upwards due to their momentum, reaching an apogee just above the Kármán Line at 100 km. Near this peak altitude, the crew capsule separates from the booster. As the booster nears the ground, it’s air brakes deploy and the engines restart as onboard computers autonomously bring the rocket for a vertical landing at the landing pad, where deploys its four landing legs. The crew capsule descends afterward under three parachutes and a solid rocket motor. The crew capsule can also separate in case of a vehicle malfunction or other emergency using solid propellant separation boosters, then performing a parachute landing. The total flight duration of the booster is over 7 minutes, while total flight time for the crew capsule is around 10 minutes.

NASA Suborbital Research Payloads
"New Shepard offers flights to space over 100 kilometers for payloads inside our cabin or with direct exposure to the space environment. With minutes of high-quality microgravity or partial-G, access to the Kármán Line, and gentle return of payload, New Shepard is transforming access to space research."

, Blue Origin had submitted the New Shepard reusable launch vehicle for use as an uncrewed rocket for NASA's suborbital reusable launch vehicle (sRLV) solicitation under NASA's Flight Opportunities Program. Blue Origin projects 100 km altitude in flights of approximately ten minutes duration, while carrying an 11.3 kg research payload. By March 2016, Blue Origin noted that they are "due to start flying unaccompanied scientific payloads later [in 2016]." On 29 April 2018, during its eighth flight New Shepard carried the Schmitt Space Communicator SC-1x, a three-pound device developed by Solstar that launched the first commercial wi-fi hotspot service in space and sent the first commercial Twitter message from space. NASA provided a part of the $2 million project's funding as a part of its Flight Opportunities program.

On 12 September 2022,18 NASA payloads were flying on NS-23 when an in-flight failure of the booster's main engine caused an emergency ejection of the payload capsule. The payload capsule landed safely and was recovered whilst the booster was lost.

Involvement with NASA Commercial Crew Development Program
Blue Origin received US$3.7 million in Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) phase 1 to advance several development objectives of its innovative "pusher" Launch Abort System (LAS) and composite pressure vessel.

In February 2011, with the end of the second ground test nearly complete, the company completed all work envisioned under the phase 1 contract for the pusher escape system. They also "completed work on the other aspect of its award, risk reduction work on a composite pressure vessel" for the vehicle.

E-Residency of Estonia

e-Residency of Estonia (also called virtual residency or E-residency) is a program launched by Estonia on 1 December 2014. The program allows non-Estonians access to Estonian services such as company formation, banking, payment processing, and taxation. The program gives the e-resident a smart card which they can use to sign documents. The program is aimed towards location-independent entrepreneurs such as software developers and writers. The first e-resident of Estonia was British journalist Edward Lucas; the first person to apply for and be granted e-residency through the standard process was Hamid Tahsildoost from the United States.

Application
An application for e-residency can be made online by filling in a form, supplying a scan of a national passport and a photograph, and giving the reason for applying (which does not strongly affect the outcome of the application). Kaspar Korjus, former managing director of the e-residency program, said that applicants who had been involved in financial misbehaviour such as money laundering would be rejected. Successful applicants would be invited to an interview in Tallinn or an Estonian embassy about three months after applying, and would then, if successful, be issued their card. The certificates of the document are valid for five years, up from three years when the program was first announced. After that period, if a person wishes to continue using e-services, they have to apply for a new document. The application process will be the same as when they first applied. A state fee needs to be paid again when they submit a new application.

Benefits and limitations of e-residency
E-residents will have their financial footprint monitored digitally, in a manner stated to be transparent; the reaction to the widespread financial misbehaviour at a high level revealed by the Panama Papers leak was suggested to be a factor helping the more transparent Estonian initiative according to Korjus. E-residency itself does not have an effect on income taxation — neither does it establish an income tax liability in Estonia nor does it relieve from income taxation in the resident's home country.

E-residency allows company registration, document signing, encrypted-document exchange, online banking, tax declaration, and fulfilment of medical prescriptions. Other services become available as the scheme is expanded. A digital ID smart card issued by the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board in Estonia or at an embassy is used for access to services.

Entrepreneurs can obtain EU residency after purchasing real estate in Estonia as a long-term benefit. The Estonian side benefits in particular by developing Estonia into an international business center with expanding service offerings for foreign entrepreneurs and investors in the disciplines of finance, consulting, accounting, and law.

Korjus said that registering an Estonian business was "useful for internet entrepreneurs in emerging markets who don’t have access to an online payment provider", and for startups from countries such as Ukraine or Belarus which suffer financial limitations from their governments.

E-residency is not related to citizenship and does not provide the right to physically enter or reside in Estonia.

It is not a way to avoid paying taxes in the country of actual residence - instead, one becomes a taxpayer both in Estonia and in the country where one is a citizen and tax resident. The e-residency program was developed primarily for location-independent startups and companies offering digital services.

Possible negative effects for the business
In addition to the numerous advantageous facets associated with obtaining e-Residency in Estonia, it is imperative to acknowledge that such an arrangement can also yield adverse consequences for businesses, primarily attributable to the dearth of comprehensive understanding surrounding this innovative initiative.

A noteworthy phenomenon is the reported instances wherein e-Residency holders residing in foreign nations have encountered challenges with their established business relationships. Specifically, some of these e-Residency entrepreneurs have faced contract cancellations and a reluctance to sustain collaborative endeavors by their long-standing partners. The underlying rationale for such actions often stems from the fact that these businesses are registered in Estonia, which is perceived as non-local to the counterparts.

Furthermore, there have been cases wherein potential clients have exhibited a preference for abstaining from engaging with companies solely due to their place of registration, further exacerbating the challenges encountered by e-Residency enterprises.

Background
E-residency was led by Taavi Kotka, the vice chancellor of communications and state information systems in the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications. Although the idea of issuing ID cards to non-residents had been discussed at least from about 2007, and proposed again in 2012 by Estonian cybersecurity expert Anto Veldre, the concrete proposal ("10 million e-residents by 2025") was presented by Taavi Kotka, Ruth Annus, and Siim Sikkut on an idea contest by Estonian Development Fund in 2014. The project was initiated with the prize money from the contest. It is developed by a state-owned foundation, Enterprise Estonia.

Kotka stated that, while the further goal of the project would be to gain millions of e-residents, its purpose was to increase the number of active enterprises in Estonia. The private sector must be able to develop concrete services on the legal and technical platform provided by e-residency, while the state would continue developing the legal framework according to the needs of the enterprises. It has also been discussed in Estonian media that e-residency could be used to spread knowledge about Estonian culture online to develop cultural export. By 18 January 2015, there had been applications from 225 countries, most of them from Finland (224), Russia (109), Latvia (38), the United States (34) and the United Kingdom (22).

By the end of 2023, Estonia's e-Residency program had welcomed over 100,000 individuals from 181 countries worldwide. In less than a decade since the initiative's inception, these e-residents have established more than 27,000 Estonian enterprises, with the number continuing to grow rapidly. The Estonian virtual residency program shows how established nations may adopt strategies similar to micronations, providing an example of what citizenship might look like in a post-national world.

Reception
In general the e-residency project was positively reviewed in the news media, being recognized for its innovativeness and potential. Estonia's former Minister of Finance Jürgen Ligi noted in 2014 that it was as yet unclear how e-residency would bring capital to Estonia. Some legal experts warn that using e-residency to incorporate a letterbox company in Estonia might under certain circumstances make that company's profits subject to double taxation, as this is a completely new legal status that has not been considered in the framework of existing international agreements to avoid double taxation.

There has been international interest in different countries, with the issue being covered by media in the United States (The Atlantic; The Wall Street Journal; Ars Technica ), United Kingdom (The Guardian;  Wired UK, Finland (Helsinki Times ), Australia (ABC ), Italy (Wired-it ), and others. In neighbouring Finland, it elicited some fear that e-residency might give Finnish enterprises an urge to move to Estonia.

There was an increase in interest after the Panama Papers leak pointed out the need for greater transparency in offshore business. After Britain voted to leave the European Union, companies were seeking options to continue to be able to trade in euros, and others had other reasons: in the two weeks following the referendum, applications from Britain (with 616 e-residents hitherto) increased tenfold.

Security concerns
One of the biggest challenges for the Estonian government and other institutions is how to secure the certainty of personal identification in the case of people from countries with whom Estonia does not have justice, security, or law enforcement cooperation. It is also impossible to effectively check the backgrounds of such countries' citizens or, if required, prosecute the crimes they have committed. Furthermore, the ability to function as an entrepreneur provided by e-Residency may greatly complicate criminal investigations, because, for example, identifying a person who has committed tax fraud or fraud and conducting processes can be difficult due to his or her permanent presence overseas. As a result, criminal investigations, evidence gathering, court hearings, bankruptcy proceedings, and other processes may be slowed or halted.

In 2017, the Estonian government froze the digital ID cards of the e-residency program, two months after discovering a major security flaw that could enable identity theft. ID cards that were issued between 16 October 2014, and 25 November 2017, were suspended until owners updated to a new security certificate by March 2018.

The Estonian government first revealed the original flaw in September, but gave no details until much later.

Partner services
The e-residency program offers a marketplace of trusted services of potential use to businesses run using the program.

WVSP (North Carolina)

WVSP was a public radio station that broadcast on 90.9 FM in Warrenton, North Carolina. The station was owned and operated by Sound and Print United and operated from 1976 to 1987; it was perpetually challenged by poor community support for the station, even after it moved its studio facilities to Rocky Mount in the mid-1980s.

History
Sound and Print United, Inc., applied for a new noncommercial radio station in Warrenton on December 14, 1973, despite none of its principals having any experience in radio. The call letters WMIP were assigned to the station originally, but before going on air, they were changed to WVSP, for "Voices Serving People". The station initially broadcast with 50,000 watts from its tower halfway between Warrenton and Rocky Mount, near Essex, North Carolina. The station's first studios were located on the second floor of a building previously used by two doctors, on Franklin Street in downtown Warrenton, with Sound and Print's print shop occupying the first floor; 75 percent of the original equipment cost was covered by a federal grant.

WVSP began broadcasting on August 26, 1976. It was an NPR member station and aired All Things Considered along with its own local news and community programming and jazz music. In 1980, the station was granted a power increase to 100,000 watts.

Throughout its decade on the air, WVSP struggled with a chronic shortage of community support; the station's potential audience was just barely large enough for it to be viable. The station was unusual among its noncommercial peers in the fact that it served a mostly rural region; additionally, most of the station's management was black. As early as 1977, the station was suffering from a variety of financial and technical problems, as stated in its own mailings. As a result, and in order to move closer to the center of its listening audience, the station embarked in September 1983 on a campaign to relocate its studios from Warrenton to Rocky Mount, where it hoped to obtain a wider volunteer base and increased community and corporate support. The move was in part funded by a $25,000 challenge grant from the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation of Winston-Salem that required WVSP to raise the remaining $155,000. Abbott Laboratories, which owns a facility in Rocky Mount, donated $5,000 in support of the campaign, as did Belk Tyler; Hardee's made a $20,000 contribution. However, the station expressed disappointment at the poor response to raise the remainder of the funds needed to cover moving expenses. In July 1984, the station took an option to purchase the Hodgin Building at 230 Tarboro Street in Rocky Mount. However, the move was not completed until November 1985 owing to slow fundraising and building renovations.

The move to Rocky Mount would not be enough to save WVSP. At NPR's 1986 public meeting, the national organization voted to disconnect WVSP for not paying its distribution/interconnection fees. On December 15, the station temporarily ceased operations for technical and financial reasons, not returning until January 15, 1987. By that fall, however, the station had ceased operations for good, and it was being reported that creditors were seeking a person connected with WVSP's operations.

North Carolina Wesleyan College became involved in efforts to keep WVSP afloat, but when the station ultimately failed, Wesleyan and people previously associated with Sound and Print United applied to build a new public radio station licensed to Rocky Mount; this station, WESQ, went on air in April 1992 and was sold by the college to a local non-profit group in 1995, becoming WRQM, which remained on the air for another three years as a locally-owned NPR member station before merging with repeater of WUNC-FM in Chapel Hill in 1999; it has been a WUNC repeater since 2001.

Talk:Black. White.

Criticism
The structure of the show is being criticized for a number of reasons:

 * Both families are supposed to be representative of their respective races. Whatever the white family says or does is supposed to be the "white" way and whatever the black family says or does is supposed to be the "black" way. Furthermore, whatever each family claims about their race is taken to be true of all members of that race. This model fails to take into account differences among individuals. Whatever one family (or an individual within the family) does or says varies significantly from family to family (and from person to person). And whatever claim they make about their race is nothing more than their own opinion and not true of all (or even a majority) of the population.

 * Both families must live with each other and any conflict that arises between them is automatically assumed to be on racial grounds. As with the previous criticism, this model fails to take into account differences among individuals. Not all people between racial groups or within racial groups will be able to live successfully with one another. These conflicts are caused by simple differences in lifestyle that vary from individual to individual.

 * The show fails to point out the effect of extraneous factors on human behavior, such as the fact that a camera crew will sometimes follow the families around as they "experience" being a member of the other race. Being filmed tends to cause people to act differently, and so it could be with the people they encounter. This makes any judgment of those people's level of racism (or lack thereof) difficult to ascertain.

 * While the show doesn't claim to be scientific, they explicitly lack control experiments. As individuals "experience" being a member of the other race, they don't first go out being a member of their original race. So if a participant is treated well or bad as a member of another race, they have no basis for comparison of what they would have experienced as a member of their original race.

 * The show is edited only to show contention between the races. While there are certainly time constraints on how much can be aired per episode, the viewer doesn't see the bulk of what actually happens. For example, in the first episode when Brian is a bartender we are shown a segment of a white man making a racist rant about how the neighborhood is nice and quiet because it is majority white. We are not shown any other interaction with customers for the many hours Brian is there. There could be many more moments of non-racist customers that represent the majority of the population.

This whole section is entirely POV. It must be NPOV to comply with Wikipedia policy. Without proper citation of an official source of the opinion, it cannot be used. Furthermore, the other two sections below this section (on the article page) are still questionable, even with their proper citation. Anyone who reads that section above wouldn't know if it was just some Wikipedian with a strong opinion on the matter or a writer for Time. Either way, Wikipepdia is not the place for POV. This topic is naturally subjective, but that does not excuse it from NPOV policy. --Wilhelm Screamer 07:25, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Neutral Point of View/No Original Research/Verifiability
From WP:NPOV

"NPOV (Neutral Point Of View) is a fundamental Wikipedia principle which states that all articles must be written from a neutral point of view, representing views fairly and without bias... According to Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales, NPOV is 'absolute and non-negotiable'."

From WP:NOR

"Original research is a term used on Wikipedia to refer to material added to articles by Wikipedia editors that has not been published already by a reputable source. In this context it means unpublished theories, data, statements, concepts, arguments, and ideas; or any new interpretation, analysis, or synthesis of published data, statements, concepts, or arguments that, in the words of Wikipedia's co-founder Jimbo Wales, would amount to a 'novel narrative or historical interpretation'."

"This policy in a nutshell: Articles may not contain any unpublished theories, data, statements, concepts, arguments, analyses, or ideas, or any novel synthesis (of published material) designed to advance a position."

From WP:V

"1. Articles should contain only material that has been published by reputable sources. 2. Editors adding new material to an article should cite a reputable source, or it may be removed by any editor.

3. The obligation to provide a reputable source lies with the editors wishing to include the material, not on those seeking to remove it."

actors?
how can it truly be a reality television show if it is portrayed by actors???? --Revolución  hablar    ver  06:37, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

They probably wanted someone with experience that could actually pass off as different people.
 * Unless someone can provide a reference for this show being scripted, please keep it out of the article. The fact that some of the cast members have had acting parts does not mean that the show is scripted or otherwise faked. Rhobite 03:00, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

 * FYI, the "Wurgels" are not a real family. The "father" of the family - his real name is Bruno Marcotulli. Rose is Rose Bloomfield. None of the people in that "white family" are related. It's very telling that Rose had almost no contact with Bruno or Carmen throughout the entire show, while Brian and Renee (the black family) were very involved with their son Nick. rock8591 12:40, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

"Scripted"
Is the show scripted? If it's not, then the article shouldn't say that it is. <IP_ADDRESS> 11:08, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

I would agree for the fact that much of the show is scripted/staged much like many other reality television shows. One thing many people don't think of is the cameras themselves being there. For example, woundn't any of the "regular" people on the show (teens from Roses poetry class/Teens from Nicks etiquette class) be somewhat curious as to why these people are carrying cameras around? Also there was the thing about Bruno and Rose's acting backgrounds. Are they even related?<IP_ADDRESS> 14:39, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Rose Bloomfield
If i'd ever met Rose, I'd write a good biography on her from to birth to the present, especially during her teen years when she was on "Black. White." and "Movie Surfers". Allthough I did deep searching on Google, there is perhaps not enough information about Rose Bloomfield. However, she was in high school plays, played the gutiar, and had many apperances. I wonder what happened?

Does Rose really want her privacy? ParamountCartoons93 (talk) 20:50, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

She always was on camera with her shirt off, I think not. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:22, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Spoiler alert on "The episodes."
Probably might be a good idea. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:22, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Rose Bloomfield's parentage
The sentence about Rose not being related to or having met Bruno or Carmen prior to the show seems to be not only original research but completely false, and none of the sources quoted say this. In fact, in looking her up on social media, I found a picture of Carmen and her from after the show in which Carmen labeled Rose her daughter. Does anyone have any evidence of this assertion or should it be deleted as non-substantied speculation? RadicalReverend (talk) 13:16, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

I remember seeing on Rose's instagram page a photo with her and her real parents, I will try to find the pic Spookedemeyaster (talk) 02:47, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

 * That sentence is indeed untrue, as confirmed by Rose herself in comments to this Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/BCFBVgCqukX
 * Rose's real mom is Carmen (from the show) while Bruno was indeed some sort of "step-dad". Ohmigott (talk) 08:42, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

The article claims it to be a fact that not only are the Wurgels not a real family, but that they had never met each other prior to shooting. This is a matter of opinion unbacked by evidence. It is true that all three had a background in television, but as others have pointed out on the talk Rose Bloomfield has addressed on her instagram that Carmen is her real mother. In a 2006 interview, fellow participant Brian Sparks doesn't seem surprised when the interviewer asked about the Wurgel family's background in acting and casting.

Interviewer: The credits say that Bruno's a school teacher, but In doing my own research on him, I discovered that his last name isn't Wurgel, but Marcotulli, and that he's an actor, and that Carmen is a Hollywood casting scout.

Sparks: That's interesting, because whereas we auditioned, they knew someone in casting, and that's how they got set up for their audition. Interviewer: I have no idea, but you have to wonder whether Carmen might have known the casting director for the show.

Sparks: She did know the casting director, and that's how they got introduced to Black White.

Interviewer: And Bruno has been on TV shows like MacGyver, Murder She Wrote, Baywatch, JAG and several movies including Spy Hard, One Tough Bastard, Safety Patrol and Moon in Scorpio.

Sparks: Wow! I remember Safety Patrol, but I didn't know he was in all that. And Rose was on a show the Disney Channel. https://aalbc.com/reviews/brian_sparks.htm

In addition to evidence on Bloomfield's social media, there are also pictures of Bloomfield on Carmen Wurgel's Facebook page captioned "Daughter, Rose, and I on a hike" https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=4707278932622036&set=a.402776649738974 Nlk42 (talk) 18:25, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, what was in the article is clear original research or just fabrication (in the case of the unsourced claim that Rose had never met them). And it's non-neutral to say it's misleading to call them the Wurgels, or that they're "not a family in the strictest sense", whatever that means: Families with multiple surnames may be known by one parent's name, and there's no reason it needs to be the father's. I have reworded more neutrally and verifiably and removed the dispute tags as resolved. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she|they|xe) 01:18, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Electoral district of Newland

Newland is a single-member electoral district for the South Australian House of Assembly. It is named after pioneer Simpson Newland, a prominent figure in nineteenth-century South Australia. It is a 69.3 km² suburban electorate in north-eastern Adelaide, taking in the suburbs of Banksia Park, Fairview Park, Yatala Vale, Hope Valley, Ridgehaven, St Agnes, Tea Tree Gully, and Modbury, as well as part of Modbury North.

Replacing the abolished electoral district of Tea Tree Gully, Newland was created at the 1976 redistribution, taking effect at the 1977 election. It followed a bellwether pattern until the 1989 election, where it was won by Liberal candidate Dorothy Kotz. Kotz developed a strong personal following and had little difficulty being re-elected until her retirement at the 2006 election. Her retirement and the landslide Labor victory across the state led to Labor candidate Tom Kenyon winning the electorate. It became the Labor government's most marginal electorate at the 2014 election.

The 2016 redistribution ahead of the 2018 election changed Newland from a 1.4 percent Labor electorate to a notional 0.1 percent Liberal electorate.

Talk:Trigonometry/Archive 1

Level of Course

 * "is trig really considered a subject for *advanced* HS students?". This will differ between places and some school systems don't parallel particularly well with the (standard?) US one. --Swift 04:09, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Most states' high school curriculum, advanced average or basic, typically require up to Algebra II (Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II) to be completed. However, all high schools attempt to motivate the kids to take up to Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry and the advanced kids to take Calculus. So, for normal/basic students they would reach Trigonometry. For advanced, they'd reach Calculus. At least, that's how it is in Florida, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and Michigan. Probably more states too. --Jaden Mathos 04:23, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Problems from a precalculus book
Robinson0120 Hey, all. I have a Precalculus textbook at the moment and I noticed that there weren't any problems in this Wikibook. Should I take a few out of the textbook and put them on the page with answers and explanations? I haven't really contributed anything yet and it looks like something I could do. If there's a heads up, I'll go ahead and do it. Thanks!

 * Problems are a good idea, but the ones in your book are probably copyrighted. See Copyrights for details. --Swift 04:09, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Robinson0120 That's not a problem, I could just change a few of the numbers and alter a few of the situations. They can't have a copyright on the concept, right? I'll go ahead and get started.

 * I'd be very careful here. Textbook authors usually include examples that have proven to work on their students. That involves a lot of work. Let's not show them the disrespect of leaching off their work. Copying them in any way is a violation of their copyright.
 * These problems are very simple to make up (I'll help you if you'd like) but if there are a number that look simlar to a book, then we might be in trouble. I recommend you not to use the book for anything more than glancing through to get ideas. --Swift 01:40, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Very well, Swift. I don't have the book anymore anyways; I'm going to go ahead and think some up right now. I need some help in deciding how to implement the problems though. Should we have a separate page with problems and answers, or add it to the wikibook page?Robinson0120 00:43, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Depends on the number. There is no need for a seperate page if there will only be a few of them. As the number grows, split the page up by moving them to a seperate page. --Swift 06:17, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Standardized Problems and Solutions
Hey all. I just found a great template that I think we should standardize and use for all questions and solutions. The template looks like this:

|{| class="navbox collapsible collapsed" style="text-align: left; border: 0px; margin-top: 0.2em;" |- ! style="background-color: #B4CDCD;" | |- | style="border: solid 1px silver; padding: 8px; background-color: white;" | |}

Just disregard the first |; I put that in so that I could put lines around the text. In any event, it looks like a great way to present problems. Here's one I made:

(NOTE: To see the way it actually looks on the page, follow this link to my talk page and look at "Template Example": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Robinson0120)

http://www.december.com/html/spec/color.html has a number of hexadecimal colors to choose from for the question and answer background, too.

So, what does everybody think? Robinson0120 03:13, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Sure, it looks like a good way to display problems and solutions. --Swift 06:20, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Looks fine and all, but having the problem immediately followed by the solution could be very annoying for a student who's actually trying to apply their mind to the problem, the answer waving in their face and all. I have a statistics self-study book like that, and it's my least favorite of all the math book I've ever used.  In fact, I despise it.  I do think that providing extensive problem sets for each topic is an invaluable addition that we really need to work on.  It's the difference between a sketchy summary and a useful textbook, IMO. --Fyedernoggersnodden 19:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Front cover created for this book
I'm planning to expand this book quite significantly and then make an actual book from it, which looks like an actual textbook. Here's the front cover, thus far. Careful, the file is gigantic :-P James.Spudeman 01:20, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I like the idea, but I must comment that (a) this is the same background image being used at the head of the Calculus wikibook, and (b) while the nautilus is a wonderful and elegant example of the beauty of mathematics, it's doesn't really scream "Trigonometry" to me. I could, however, go for an illustration of waves (Lots of artistic potential there!) or even, if we must be ordinary, triangles. --someone unsigned
 * Well we could overlay a right-triangle spiral and get some real and imaginary waves, ocean and graphed, onto the cover. That would be in keeping with the sea shell motif.  All we need now is a talented mathematical artist.JamesCrook (talk) 12:51, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Moving trig out of algebra
Is it true that a college algebra book, or high school algebra book, or whatever, has no trig in it? So, I am new here but I don't understand why this part of the book had to be moved out of an algebra book just because it is trig? And, I don't understand why the message saying it was removed is in the book and not in the discussion section. Isn't this what a discussion section is for? NumberTheorist (talk) 17:21, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

 * An algebra book may contain a little trigonometry, but doesn't specialize in it (at most, it may just reference sin as a function). A book on Trigonometry places a specific focus on the topic, and will include more detailed descriptions of appropriate functions or equations.  (e.g. the law of cosines may not be suitable for a simple algebra book.) --Sigma 7 (talk) 15:13, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

A third book?
The intended structure seems to be an elementary book that moves slowly step by step and an advanced book that assumes a knowledge of calculus and complex numbers. Should there be another book, between or after them, that assumes some sophistication, so can move rapidly, but not the more advanced stuff? This new book could include the stuff for enthusiasts and the sections I am adding about associated circles, plus material like the formula for sin 18º.--Wisden (talk) 19:09, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

 * You could put the various circles and sin 18º in the 'for enthusiasts' section, but if in book one I think you would still have to assume that algebraic manipulations need to be done step by step. So I guess, yes, I am OK with a third book that takes the algebra a lot faster, but that still does not depend on calculus or complex numbers.  I very much like the core/enthusiasts division within a book so don't want to lose that.  If you want to make a book 'between' 1 and 2, and take some of the enthusiasts pages into it (as enthusiast pages) that is fine.  Delaunay triangulation would certainly belong with the circumcircle page. -- JamesCrook (talk) 15:08, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

 * You might also want to pick up some topics from Trigonometry/Teachers_Notes/Khan_Academy_Videos (such as polar coordinates) that are not in book 1. -- JamesCrook (talk) 15:57, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Neubrügg

The Neubrügg or Neubrücke (New Bridge) is a covered wooden bridge over the river Aare between the village of Kirchlindach and Bern in the canton of Bern in Switzerland. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.

History
The bridge was first built in 1469 to replace a ferry crossing over the Aare. The bridge eventually became part of two major roads that helped Bern control its extensive territory north of the river. The road into the Berner Seeland passed over the bridge before traveling to Meikirch, while the other road ran into the Fraubrunnenamt after passing through Oberlindach and Münchenbuchsee. The Neubrügg remained important until motorized traffic made it obsolete. It was supplanted by the concrete Halenbrücke in 1911-13.

Macroeconomics/Macroeconomic Variables

Macroeconomic Variables
∑E = ∑O = ∑Y

Autonomous
That element of a factor (variable) which is independent of the level of income. E.g. the level of consumption you need to survive even when you have no income.

Induced
That element of a factor (variable) which is influenced by the level of Y. E.g. the level of income the government receives from tax (personal income). As the income level increases → so does government tax receipts.

Example: Investment
Investment (I), is defined as the purchase of new capital goods which add to the stock of capital. Capital goods are those produced not to satisfy consumer wants directly but for increasing the level of production in the future. Capital consists of items such as factories, machinery and railways.
 * Autonomous I. refers to that formation motivated by reasons independent of changes in consumer demand indicated through income. This I. is undertaken in 'expectation' of a profit to be derived in the future.
 * Induced I. refers to that capital formation motivated by increased consumer demand or income.
 * If the I. function is given by: I = 50 + 0.1Y, it means that autonomous I is 50 and is undertaken irrespective of the level of Y, and induced I. is 10% of the level of Y. If Y equalled 1000 then I. would be 150.
