Hi, given his date of birth, Opron cannot possibly have been involved in much Citroën 2CV design work. greetings 790 11:16, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Opron joined Citroen in early 1960's - even the Ami 6 is not his creation. 62 11:49, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Although some contemporary critics puzzled that the GS & CX sedans were not hatchbacks

Second generation GSs (GSAs) received a Hatch.

I believe that the CX never received a hatch, but I am not really sure.Randroide 10:44, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Swiveling Headlights Not Invented by Opron
"Encased headlamps are standard practice in the automobile industry today. Swivelling ones are only slowly re-entering the luxury car segment again through Lexus, Audi, and the Citroën C5, 40 years after their invention."

The Tucker Torpedo of 1948 had swiveling headlights as a design feature (that was not implemented). Thus, I have changed that claim.

The Concept Fulgur
What about the Simca Fulgur concept vehicle, the another nuclear powered car in addition to the Ford Nucleon? Designed by Opron, if this source holds true: http://www.carstyling.ru/en/cars.1958_Simca_Fulgur.html

I haven't encountered much information on this vehicle anywhere and also Wikipedia is missing an article of it. Should one be made? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:58, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Charles Paul (composer)

Charles Paul (August 23, 1902 in New York City – September 18, 1990 in Milford, Connecticut) was an American composer and organist, most known for his musical accompaniment on radio and television.

Originally providing musical accompaniment to such old-time radio programs as The Adventures of Ellery Queen and Young Doctor Malone, he transitioned to television in the 1950s. His music accentuated the TV version of Martin Kane, Private Eye with an organ and horn combo. His first known soap opera was Love of Life which he began accompanying in 1953. In 1954 he added The Secret Storm and the short-lived The Road of Life to his duties. By this time Paul had perfected a style that favored the organ, but was often coupled with piano for more intense scenes.

On The Secret Storm Paul began his practice of using "leitmotif" themes to underscore specific characters, such as his tune for matriarch Grace Tyrell (Marjorie Gateson) and his lament for her daughter Pauline Harris (Haila Stoddard). Paul continued this practice on Love of Life and his successive soaps.

It was in 1956 that Charles Paul began a stint as the organist for television's first thirty-minute soap opera, As the World Turns. Paul created character themes for Nancy Hughes (Helen Wagner), Pa Hughes (Santos Ortega) and Lisa (Eileen Fulton). He wrote motifs for opening scene shots that identified settings, such as Memorial Hospital and the Lowell, Barnes, Lowell & Hughes law firm. Paul also wrote the first theme song for NBC's Another World which was handled by other organists. Though he was not named in the credits, Paul provided the original scores to headwriter Agnes Nixon's ABC hits One Life to Live and All My Children under the auspices of Aeolus Productions.

In the summer of 1969, many behind-the-scenes shifts occurred at CBS soaps. As a result, Paul lost The Secret Storm, maintained his positions at Love of Life and As the World Turns, and assumed the keyboard duties at longtime favorite Guiding Light.

By the early 1970s, however, times were changing. Paul soon lost Love of Life but transitioned both As the World Turns and Guiding Light to orchestral arrangements. He would later do likewise for NBC's relatively short-lived Somerset, ABC's successful General Hospital, and the last year of CBS's Love of Life after ten years' absence from that series.

In 2009, Soapluvva established a YouTube tribute channel to both Charles Paul and Eddie Layton, who were colleagues of each other at the CBS Broadcast Center in Manhattan.

Scan copyright
Regarding the issue of a scan of a print from the Maciejowski Bible that was linked to by this article:

While the original work (the Maciejowski Bible, Pierpont Morgan Library Manuscript m.638) is out of copyright, the image in question is a scan from a print in "Old Testament Miniatures", the earliest printing of which was in 1927. The image on Wikipedia is therefore not out of copyright, and cannot be presented as Public Domain. It may be fair use, but that is a different argument.
 * Trivial reproductions of publid domain art can't be copyrighted. From Public_domain_image_resources: "Note: Accurate photographs of visual artworks lack expressive content and are automatically in the public domain once the painting's copyright has expired (which it has in the US if it was published before 1923). All other copyright notices can safely be ignored." There are also some court cases regarding this, and at least in the US and in Germany these pictures are PD. Kusma (討論) 13:37, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Podwika?
Is this the same thing as pl:Podwika? If so, in addition to interwiki, we can get some good pictures.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 21:57, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Middle English
I'm deleting this claim:

"In Middle English, the word was wymple, and anyone wearing one would be Ywympled, rather than wimpled."

because it's unsourced and is based on a misunderstanding of the history of orthography. There was no uniformity in spelling in the Middle English period; a quick look at the OED shows that the Middle English spellings of the word included winpel, wimpel, wempel, wimpil, wympul, wompyll, and wympill. "Wymple" and "wimple" both apparently appear from the 14th century onwards.

Hebrew Transliteration
The bit of Hebrew here is strangely done. It says that "וְהַמִּטְפָּחוֹת" is the same as "miṭpaḥoth". The problem is that the Hebrew actually says "v'hamiṭpaḥoth", which means "and the miṭpaḥoth". It might be better to just make the Hebrew read "מִּטְפָּחוֹת", though this might not be appropriate if this is a quote from somewhere.

Food and Farming
In the food and farming paragraph, it states that the Inca originally created salsa. I could not find any information about this being correct. Is this true, and if so, what source did it come from? The whole paragraph needs to have citations added. Athroop (talk) 19:07, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Edited out 'child punishment' nonsense
There was some completely unreached nonsense suggesting babies were left in pits and youth could expect to be "punished harshly" for apparently no reason. Sounded mythy, no sources whatsoever were provided, and attempts to even find a book in which that information was written in proved futile even after a thorough search. This also directly contradicts actual cited sources in this article's references that unanimously indicate that child birth was a particularly celebrated event in Incan culture. I know some mesoamerican cultures had some clearly morally unsound practices, but the way this was written it made it sound like they gave children the Spartan treatment, which is as far as I can tell inaccurate as only some children were molded into a military caste. I would like to see an actual source provided for this (again, looking it up only led to random uncitable blog-like pages that straight copied and pasted - do if anyone is thinking that those should be cited, it would be ridiculously unacceptable by Wiki (and, really, all scientific) standards because the statement would essentially be citing itself as evidence. If sources aren't provided for this I'm going to keep deleting it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:40, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

A 3000 year long "short-lived" empire?
The first paragraph currently says: ''from 1438 BC to 1533 AD. Over that period, the Inca used conquest and peaceful assimilation to incorporate in their empire a large portion of western South America, centered on the Andean mountain ranges. The Inca empire proved short-lived:''  By my math, 1438 BC to 1533 AD is most of 3000 years. Why is this described as short-lived? It also needs more information on there boats — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mwengler (talk • contribs) 03:03, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Spanish conquest
Reading this article and the one on the Incas themselves, there is no mention of how was it that the Spaniards were able to so easily conquer the empire.

Clearly, on capturing Atahualpa, the Spaniards must have captured the key to the society, as it were—yet the article doesn't make this clear, nor does it really explain what happened.

Imagine, say, the Queen of England being taken hostage by Al-Quaeda—no way would Bin Laden rule over the United Kingdom. Yet that seems to be exactly what happened with the Incas. My question, to those who are knowledgeable, is why did this happen? Why did the Incas fal under the control of the Spaniards so easily? Was the Inca society so rigid that it could not survive its dictator being captured? Or were there some other causes?

An honest question. --TallulahBelle 18:12, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * In my trip to Peru in 2004, the story I heard was that the Spaniards used the Incas against themselves. They would deceive different leaders into fighting each other, so that the Incas were fighting the Incas.  The Spaniards then came in and conquered after the cities were destroyed by the small civil wars.  The Incas built their cities in the middle of the sides of mountains, not in the valleys like the Spaniards did, which made them easier to defend.  After having hiked the Inca trail, I can attest how very difficult it would be to effectively attack an Inca city.  The Spaniards also had (single-shot) guns and artillery (though I'm not certain if the artillery was used in the mountains).  If anyone else can second this claim or find a cite, we should include it in the article.  Halcyonhazard 17:34, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Medicine section needs clarification
Perhaps it would make sense to ask for clarification of the last sentence in Medicine section?

 * ''The Inca also used guinea pigs not only for food but for a so-called well-working medicine

What is meant by "well-working medicine"? Was their meat eaten for medicinal purposes? Or their mere presence in Incan dwellings was sufficient to elicit beneficial effects? Perhaps, some other use of those animals is implied? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 10:00, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

 * 25, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Women in Inca society
The article currently states: "Women were an essential part of Inca society. Their principal role in society was to care for their children, cook, weave, make beer and work at the fields; however, they had many other husbands. They cleaned to make their lives after marriage very busy." (end quote)

I can't help but wonder if the word "husbands" here should be "chores" instead. And the second sentence is also a tad unclear. Perhaps something was lost in translation? As for being an essential part of Inca society, I dare say that's true of every society, but this might be nitpicking. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:48, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

--- I have to agree, this needs to be changed immediately if it has not already. Only Incan nobles were offered the luxury of polygamy. Monogamy was the norm for the overwhelming majority of Incan society. I also agree that the "essential part" comment is strange though harmless. It's kind of like saying, "People formed an essential part of civilization". Seems a bit of a redundant 'no-brainer' (I hate that term though). <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:44, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Ceramics and Metalworking
Is it possible to break these two arts into their own sections? The way this section is currently written it can be hard to follow at times as they are talked about in the same sentence/paragraph and sometimes textiles are brought up with it. I think it would be easier to talk about what they meant and did for Inca society this way and allow for readers to understand these things better as well.--Tdbdh4 (talk) 18:59, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

I edited some of the references within the infrastructure section so that they give more information about the source and also so that they can be accessed through links. Along with this I also linked Capacocha in the religion section so that readers may be able to read in more detail about them if interested. I am also trying to find a reference for a previous statement made in the religion section to make sure that it is valid.Kmmy47 (talk) 16:31, 10 November 2017 (UTC) Found that some of the information in the original sentence in the religion section was not valid. I took out the part that claimed that Inti was the most important god and was believed to be descended from some ancestors of imperial rule and added in information about Viracocha and some other information about Inti. It seems that although Inti was a very important god to the Incas, he was not seen as the most important. Kmmy47 (talk) 17:14, 10 November 2017 (UTC) Added a link to Lake Titicaca in the Religion section, because it was very important to Inca and their religion. Kmmy47 (talk) 17:23, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

I added information to the Politics section of the article focusing on the imperialism in the Inca society. I also added information about the water systems and some information about the Incan roads to the Infrastructure section that my partner (Kmmy47) and I added to the article. Tannbonn (talk) 16:48, 10 November 2017 (UTC) I also added a hyperlink to a "tambo" for extended information for the reader. Tannbonn (talk) 17:24, 10 November 2017 (UTC) I also fixed citation errors and sources for the politics section and the infrastructure section. Tannbonn (talk) 17:50, 10 November 2017 (UTC) I reworded my original addition from the Politics section and replaced it with what I had added previously to the original article. I wanted more concise language. I also linked the article "Inca Religion" to this article. Tannbonn (talk) 18:06, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Implicit leadership theory

Implicit leadership theory (ILT) is a cognitive theory of leadership developed by Robert Lord and colleagues. It is based on the idea that individuals create cognitive representations of the world, and use these preconceived notions to interpret their surroundings and control their behaviors. ILT suggests that group members have implicit expectations and assumptions about the personal characteristics, traits, and qualities that are inherent in a leader. These assumptions, termed implicit leadership theories or leader prototypes, guide an individual's perceptions and responses to leaders. The term implicit is used because they are not outwardly stated and the term theory is used because it involves the generalization of past experiences to new experiences. ILTs allow individuals to identify leaders and aid them in responding appropriately to leaders in order to avoid conflict.

Individual differences
Although ILTs vary between individuals, many overlap in terms of the task skills and relationship skills that leaders should possess in order to be successful. In terms of task skills, most people seek a leader that is in control, determined, influential, and continuously involved in the group activities. When considering relationship skills, most people tend to prefer a leader who is caring, honest, open to new ideas, and interested in the group work. In a study by Offermann, Kennedy, and Wirtz (1994), the content and factor structure variation of male and female ILTs were compared across three stimuli, being leaders, effective leaders, and supervisors. They found that eight factors of the ILTs were rather stable across all participants, between males and females, and across the three stimuli. These eight factors were charisma, sensitivity, dedication, intelligence, attractiveness, masculinity, tyranny, and strength. The results from this study suggest that, although ILTs differ depending on the individual, this variation may be systematic and, at times, predictable.

Cultural Differences
Although charisma is valued across cultures, culture plays a major role in the specific content of leadership prototypes. For example, a study that began in 1991 measured leadership prototypes across 60 countries found that more individualistic cultures tend to favor ambitious leaders, whereas collectivistic cultures often prefer leaders who are self-effacing. Cross-cultural differences may be difficult to study when using nations as a guideline for grouping, as many countries have a variety of cultures within them.

Biases
The social world is solely understood in terms of perceptions, thus people use these perceptions intuitively to effectively organize and guide social interactions. We observe the actions of other people, take note of their personal characteristics, compare them to our own ILTs, and make decisions regarding whether they make an appropriate or inappropriate leader. Additionally, we use ILTs to evaluate the suitability and effectiveness of a group's leader. For example, if you believe that a good leader exerts control over the group, you may focus on this specific characteristic. Consequently, bias can result from noting only the instances when the leader was or was not in control. In a study by Foti and Lord (1987), participants were shown a videotape of a leader-group interaction. The participants were told to report the behaviors that the leader had or had not performed. The results of this study indicated that people are quicker to respond, more accurate, and more confident when they are judging behaviors that are both part of their ILTs and performed by the leader, in comparison to behaviors that were part of their ILTs and were not performed by the leader. Since ILTs are implicit theories, meaning the individual is likely unaware of their biases, it is difficult for ineffective ILTs to be recognized and discarded. For example, Offermann et al. (1994) found that masculinity was a stable ILT across participants, sex, and stimuli. However, males tend to be more autocratic and task-oriented in leadership style, while females tend to adopt a more participative and relationship-oriented style. Consequently, females generally tend to make better leaders as they have a more collaborative approach. This bias would be difficult to correct, as people are typically not aware of their implicit assumptions.

Impact
When leadership prototypes are compared to the actual leaders, leader-member relations may be affected. In other words, when a potential leader does not match followers' expectations, that leader may be met with resistance, regardless of actual leadership competence. A study which asked 439 employees to compare their ILTs to their actual manager at work found that an individual whose ILT matches their actual leader is also likely to feel greater satisfaction with their position and experience higher commitment toward their group. The match between an individual's ILT and actual leader also has in indirect positive impact on the individual's well-being.

Francis Warrington Gillet

Francis Warrington Gillet (28 November 1895 – 21 December 1969) was an American flying ace who served in both the American and British armed forces as a pilot during World War I. With 20 credited aerial victories he was the highest scoring pilot flying the Sopwith Dolphin, and the second highest scoring American, only surpassed by Eddie Rickenbacker.

Biography
Gillet was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He graduated from the University of Virginia, before joining the Aeronautical Division of the U.S. Signal Corps as a cadet in April 1917. On 31 May 1917 he entered the School of Military Aeronautics at the University of Illinois for preliminary flight training, but obtained an honourable discharge on the grounds of dependency on 25 July 1917.

He enlisted in the Royal Flying Corps Canada using the name Frederick Warrington Gillet (though British sources most often render his surname as Gillett) to avoid any complications with 8 U.S. Code § 1481 which would result in him forfeiting his American citizenship on enlisting in the armed forces of a foreign power. After completing his basic flight training, on 29 December 1917 he received Royal Aero Club Aviator's Certificate No. 7017, and was commissioned as a second lieutenant the same day. In England, after receiving advanced training as a fighter pilot, he was assigned to No. 79 Squadron RFC in France on 29 March 1918. Within days, on 1 April 1918, the Army's Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) were merged to form the Royal Air Force.

No. 79 Squadron was flying the Sopwith Dolphin, an unusual biplane distinguished by its "negative stagger" wing arrangement, a type Gillet had not flown before. After becoming acclimated to the Dolphin and honing his combat skills, he scored his first victory on 3 August, destroying a kite balloon north of Estaires. He accounted for two aircraft towards the end of the month, then another balloon and six more aircraft in September, a balloon and five aircraft in October, and four aircraft in November, three of them early on the morning of the 10th, the day before the armistice. All were assessed as destroyed, which was extremely unusual, as most aces had numerous "out of control" credits.

He was appointed acting-captain on 14 October 1918, and served for a short time as the commanding officer of his squadron. His decorations include two awards of the British Distinguished Flying Cross, and the Belgian Croix de Guerre.

After the war, Gillet left the RAF, being transferred to the unemployed list on 7 March 1919. He returned to the United States and obtained his release from the U.S. Army Signal Reserve Corps and entered the family business. Gillet pursued a successful, lengthy business career as a liquor importer, realtor, and banker, and died at the age of 74 on 21 December 1969 at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center.

Honours and awards

 * Distinguished Flying Cross
 * Lieutenant Frederick Warrington Gillett.
 * When attacking a kite balloon, a two-seater guarding it advanced to engage him; Lieut. Gillett shot the machine down, and, turning to the balloon, which was being rapidly hauled down, he dropped two bombs at the winch and fired a drum into the balloon, which deflated but did not catch fire. In addition to this two-seater, this officer has accounted for two other machines and a kite balloon.

 * Bar to the Distinguished Flying Cross
 * Lieutenant (Acting-Captain) Frederick Warrington Gillett, DFC
 * A pilot of great dash and skill who, since 3 August, has destroyed twelve hostile aircraft. On 29 September, when on low-line patrol, he attacked three Fokkers, driving down one, which fell in flames.

Gillet also received the Croix de Guerre from Belgium in July 1919.

"Morning Surprise"

 * This scene seems surprisingly short. Yet, many things happens in this scene which is not obvious by just looking at the dailies.

 * The location

 * This story takes place in children's bedroom in the house of their mother and father early one morning. It also takes place in an airplane in the sky.

 * The characters

 * The two young ladies are sleeping. A man in a biplane wakes them.

 * The story

 * Unfortunately, this scene does not include the script. You have to guess what is happening :

 * The two ladies are sleeping and, as the director says, the sound of an airplane can be heard.

 * What the director does not says is next the audience sees a man flying a biplane.

 * Then the audience sees one of the ladies wake up.

 * Then the audience sees the biplane begin to dive.

 * Then the audience sees the lady say, "Oh, he wouldn't."

 * Then the audience sses the man drop a water balloon from the biplane.

 * Then the audience sees the lady get up and leave. Finally we hear the water balloon hit the house and the younger lady goes back to sleep.

 * The challenge

 * The story is very simple except for the missing footage. This is a low-budget movie so all the missing footage (a man in a biplane) is done with simple 3D animation.

 * style="width: 50%; background-color: BlanchedAlmond; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px;" rowspan="1" |

Edit this scene

 * Order the disk

 * Order the disk from the Star Movie Shop. Remember, if you have earned enough points at the Wikiversity Film School, the disk is free.  If you do not have enough points, the Star Movie Shop will accept PayPal. To contact the Star Movie Shop, you simply @undefined [[Image:Crystal Clear app xfmail.png|24px]]

 * The Overview Movie

 * Start by looking at the overview movie for "Out for a Walk". (This QuickTime movie file is in a different folder than the film dailies.  Don't get the two folders confused.)  The overview movie shows you the important parts of the film dailies in chronological order.

 * Transfer the dailies

 * Copy all the film dailies (not the overview movie) to your hard drive. If necessary, convert the dailies to whatever format your editing program prefers. Import them into your editing program.

 * Calculate the missing elements

 * You cannot edit this scene with the missing footage. To start, create still frames (storyboard frames) for the missing shots.  Then edit the scene together for a rough estimate of the timing of the missing animation shots.  Since the timing will depend on the music, you must also create the music or at least a rough of the musical score.

 * Create the missing elements

 * Now that you know the timing of the missing animation, you need to use a program like Poser or DAZ Studio to create the animation.

Edit the scene

 * Finally you edit the whole thing together.

 * Submit your finished scene
 * This scene is worth 40 points for the scene including all the missing elements. @undefined  [[Image:Crystal Clear app xfmail.png|24px]]

 * style="width: 50%; background-color: #ffff77; border: 1px solid Red; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px;" |

Analyze the Dailies

 * Multiple shots in one

 * In this little story, the action goes from interior to exterior to interior to exterior. Yet, for all the interior shots, the filmmaker simply shoots one continuous shot which will be cut apart to create all the interior elements.

 * }

Learning Java/Swing and AWT

There are two main ways to create a GUI in Java. There is the AWT, which was the first one, and is older. Then there is Swing. Swing is a newer way of making a GUI. All objects in Swing are derived from AWT, and most objects in Swing start with the letter J.

Hint: Oracle has developed JavaFX to replace both Swing and AWT. Since Java SE 7, update 6 it is bundled with Java SE. "JavaFX is a set of graphics and media packages that enables developers to (...) deploy rich client applications that operate consistently across diverse platforms". As of 2017, Swing and AWT are not declared as deprecated.

Making a JFrame
a JFrame is an extended kind of window in Java, it is created like this:

explanation:

The first statement creates the frame. It is not necessary to give the frame a title, JFrame works as well.

The second statement sets the size and position of the frame, first the position(x,y) (in pixels) and the second the size(x,y)

The third statement sets what happens when you press "x". there is also DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE, I think you can guess what this does.

The last statement sets the frame visible. It is no use making a frame if it is not visible. You can also say setVisible(false), which you can use when you would like to remove a component from a frame (for example if you want a warning message to disappear).

Components
there are quite a lot of components in Java. Here are some examples (a full list for your JDK is in the java documentation):

JLabel a simple label that cannot be pressed, and shows a piece of text. JLabel label = new JLabel("name");

JButton a Button that can be pressed. JButton button = new JButton("name"); to figure out if a button is pressed you can write: button.addActionListener(this); then you should make a ActionPerformed method(see example)

JCheckBox is a widely known on/off switch, common in many user interfaces. JCheckBox checkBox = new JCheckBox("name"); To figure out if it is activated, you need to call its method isSelected. JCheckBox also fires an action event when changing the state, so it is possible to register an action listener for it, same as for a button. This allows to update something else immediately when the box state changes.

notice that you can only add one Item to a window. This Item will take up all the window room. To add more components to a frame, add them to a Container, and set a flowLayout, like this: Container c = new Container; c = window.getContentPane; FlowLayout flow = new FlowLayout; c.setLayout(flow); c.add(component1); c.add(component2); ...

Example
in this example a JCheckBox and a JLabel are added to a JFrame, so that the Label is only visible when the CheckBox is activated.

import javax.swing.*; // for the frame import java.awt.*; // for the checkBox and the label import java.awt.event.*; // for the checkBox listener public class tst implements ActionListener {     // create pointers private boolean checkedOnce; // this boolean says if the checkBox is checked or not private JFrame window; private JLabel label; private JCheckBox cb; private Container c;    public static void main(String[]x) { 	new tst; }    public tst //Constructor { 	 //create objects to pointers label = new JLabel("checkBox activated"); cb = new JCheckBox("check here", false); window = new JFrame("test"); window.setBounds(100,100,200,200); window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); // define c 	c = window.getContentPane; // create and set layout FlowLayout fl = new FlowLayout; c.setLayout(fl); // add Items to Container c.add(cb); c.add(label); checkedOnce = false; // checkedOnce must have a value, otherwise it is null window.setVisible(true); label.setVisible(false); cb.addActionListener(this); }    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) // this method is called when one of the objects that have a listener is activated { 	 if(checkedOnce == false) { 		 label.setVisible(true); checkedOnce = true; // set true, so that the next time the checkBox is klicked on, the label dissapears } 	 else { 	 	checkedOnce = false; label.setVisible(false); }    } }

 * Delete - run of the mill sales person and film producer. We tend to delete articles about producers. His listing in Variety is in passing and is of the up-and-coming variety, pardon the pun. Bearian (talk) 15:30, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - I can see where many of the concerns are coming from. I have amended the reference for the Variety line to one which more directly and substantially addresses the subject; the honor itself also suggests a level of recognition by industry peers, as the recipients are chosen via industry submissions which are then curated by Variety's reporters and critics. Additionally, articles exist for other recent recipients, such as Xavier Gens and Nancy Grant; while it would be fallacy to suggest this warrants an article for every recipient, it may suggest that those named are not always of an "up and coming" variety. It's also arguable that the "Prince of Alexandria" profile in Scene magazine and the first Deadline article cited tend toward being substantial, as opposed to passing or trivial mentions. Taken together, these sources might establish notability. I am also not seeing guidance to suggest that we tend to delete articles about film producers in the common outcomes article. Given the fairly extensive credits of the subject, it's likely that further sources could be added in order to bring the article to its full potential, as well.

 * Most films that are created now have multiple producers so the producer may not be particularly notable, even though they are attached to a famous film with famous actors. As always secondary sources that are of a sufficient depth of coverage are the standard to prove notability. Here there is a lot of name drops, some minor coverage, a single primary source (an interview) but no real secondary sources of depth. Not a thing.  scope_creep Talk  23:42, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
 * My understanding is that, while an executive producer credit can indicate varying degrees of involvement, a producer/produced by credit (such as many of those here) is traditionally understood in the industry to indicate one of the main, actually hands-on producers of a project, which is why they are so coveted and one sees so few of them on a given film.Stm2193 (talk) 00:08, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. The coverage of him is sparse, but he was a writer/director for many items, and a good half of them are blue links. That suggests he may pass WP:NCREATIVE#3 or such. PS. If it was one or two items, I'd agree with the nom, but if he is linked as producer or such to something like ten blue links, that's probably on the keep side of borderline, at least for me. Ping me if you want to convince me otherwise, I am always open to discussion. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:01, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Do you fancy looking for some additional evidence. I really don't mind withdrawing it, if you give me an inkling of summat. I don't want him deleted if there is inkling that he is notable.  scope_creep Talk  00:42, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I am not seeing anything beyond what is there, as I said, it is just my personal view of what to do in borderline cases - in this one, I think there's enough stuff he had his name in as credits etc. that he probably should have an entry. A weak argument, hence my weak keep vote. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:46, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I've not found much either. It is really all in the article and its not sufficient to establish notability.  scope_creep Talk  18:33, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Schönleiten Formation

The Schönleiten Formation is a geological formation in Austria. Part of the Gosau Group it was deposited during the later Turonian of the Cretaceous period. It primarily consists of grey, weathered yellow shales and dense sandstone, with coal bearing shales near the base. The remains of indeterminate frogs, snakes, Tethysaurines, crocodylians and the teeth of cf. Paronychodon and other indeterminate theropod dinosaurs are known from the formation.

Paint the Night

Paint the Night Parade was a nighttime parade at Hong Kong Disneyland on Lantau Island, Hong Kong and at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.

The Hong Kong version premiered on September 11, 2014, as part of the park's 9th anniversary expansion. The California version debuted at Disneyland on May 22, 2015, as part of the park's 60th anniversary Diamond Celebration. The parade is a spiritual successor to the long-running Main Street Electrical Parade, which has appeared at numerous Disney parks (except Hong Kong Disneyland) in several different incarnations since June 17, 1972. On January 25, 2020, Hong Kong Disneyland‘s version of the parade ran its final performance due to the COVID-19 outbreak's impact on China.

Hong Kong Disneyland
Disney Paint the Night Parade (, Jyutping: dik6 si6 nei4 gwong1 ying2 wooi6) premiered at Hong Kong Disneyland on October 1, 2014. This is the first time Walt Disney Parks and Resorts created a fully LED parade, and features seven original floats containing over 740,000 individual lights.

The Hong Kong version of the parade uses a newly arranged version of the Main Street Electrical Parade's theme song, "Baroque Hoedown," alongside a Cantonese arrangement of Owl City's "When Can I See You Again?" from Wreck-It Ralph. In the original version of the Hong Kong version of the parade, there was a show stop in which the performers were able to interact with the interactive LED Paintbrushes sold to audience members. The show stop used an original song in Cantonese and English called "Paint the Night". The show stop was discontinued in November 2015.

The interactive "Mickey Mouse Paintbrushes," which guests can purchase in the park, allow them to interact with the performers by changing the colors of their costumes when the brushes are activated. Wearable merchandise items include the "Mickey Glow Mitt" and "Minnie Glow Bow," which change colors throughout the show through the use of RFID-enabled technology.

Units
The Hong Kong version contains the following parade units:

Current Parade Floats
 * Tinker Bell and Friends (2014–2020)
 * Monsters, Inc. Dance Party (2014–2020)
 * Cars Electric Roadway Jam (2014–2020)
 * The Little Mermaid Electric Watercolours (2014–2020)
 * Belle's Candlelight Dreams (2014–2020)
 * Toy Story Electric Rodeo (2014–2020)
 * Frozen Fractals
 * Mickey & Friends Lightastic Finale (2014–2020)

Disneyland Resort (California)
The Paint the Night Parade (or Paint the Night Electrical Parade, as it is titled within the show) opened May 22, 2015, as part of Disneyland's Diamond Celebration, in commemoration of its 60th anniversary. This version of the parade utilizes over 1.5 million LED lights, special effects, and features 76 performers. The California version of the parade was inspired by the Main Street Electrical Parade. It had a opening announcement similar to that used in the Main Street Electrical Parade. It is Disneyland's first all LED parade. The parade lasts approximately 17 minutes. During the Diamond Celebration, the entire 24-hour event was streamed live via internet by the Disneyland Resort, including the premiere of Paint the Night parade on May 22, 2015. Like the Hong Kong version, the parade jointly features arrangements of Jean-Jacques Perrey and Gershon Kingsley's "Baroque Hoedown" and Owl City's "When Can I See You Again?". This version, now in English, features new lyrics for the parade along with vocals and arrangement from Adam Young of Owl City.

At Disneyland Park in California, Paint the Night made its last regular performance on September 5, 2016, and returned as a seasonal offering for the 2016 holiday season. The original Main Street Electrical Parade returned to Disneyland Park on January 19, 2017 for a limited-time run. The parade returned in a modified form at Disney California Adventure from April 12, 2018 through November 7, 2018. Portions of the Little Mermaid float were too tall to clear the Red Car Trolley's overhead wires, while the Frozen float was retired altogether. A new float themed around Disney•Pixar’s The Incredibles joined the parade for the grand opening of Pixar Pier on June 23 and for the release of Incredibles 2 which hit theatres on June 15.

Units
The Disneyland version of the parade includes four floats not seen in the Hong Kong version, and also moves continuously down the parade route, with no show stops.

The Disneyland version contains the following parade units: Current Parade Floats
 * Peter Pan and drum unit (featuring Rosetta, Silvermist, Iridessa, Tinker Bell, Peter Pan and Tigger from Winnie the Pooh, Genie from Aladdin and Lumière from Beauty and the Beast) (2015–2018)
 * Monsters, Inc. Dance Party (featuring Sulley and Mike) (2015–2018)
 * Cars Electric Roadway Jam (2015–2018)
 * The Little Mermaid Electric Watercolors (featuring Ariel, Sebastian, Flounder, King Triton and Marlin and Nemo from Finding Nemo) (2015–2018)
 * Toy Story Electric Rodeo (featuring Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Squeeze Toy Aliens) (2015–2018)
 * Candlelight Dreams (featuring Belle, Rapunzel and Cinderella) (2015–2018)
 * The Incredibles Float (featuring Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Frozone, Dash, Violet and Jack-Jack) (2018)
 * Mickey's Lightastic Finale (featuring Goofy, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse) (2015–2018)

Ho Yow served as consulate general during San Francisco plague of 1900–1904. Ho Yow was born in Hong Kong to a wealthy Guangzhou family.

At the age of 28, Ho was appointed as vice consul of the San Francisco Chinese Consulate to general consul Chang Yin Tang in 1987. Ho was soon promoted to consulate general, with the goal increasing trade relations between the United States and China, serving to the prosperity of Chinatown merchants. Notably in 1899, Ho organized a successful Chinese parade during San Francisco's Fourth of July Celebration.

In May 16 1900, after confirmation of several Chinese deaths due to bubonic plague, Ho along with leaders of the San Francisco Chinese community recommended vaccinations to their associations and tongs. This recommendation was met with resistance, however Consul Ho and Six Companies tried to calm the concerns. Despite the effort, only 53 Chinese were vaccinated compared to the 530 Japanese and 234 of other races.

Six Companies had filed grievances against Ho, and sent a list of complaints against Ho to the Chinese Imperial government. One of the complaints was the taking of bribes. Another concern was his lack of aggression during the debates on extending the Chinese Exclusion Act. The Chinese Exclusion Act was extended for 10 more years. Ho's title as consulate general was recalled by the Imperial government in 1902.

Naseem Hamed vs. Wilfredo Vázquez

Naseem Hamed vs. Wilfredo Vázquez was a professional boxing match contested on April 18, 1998 for the WBO and Lineal featherweight championships.

Background
In December of the previous year WBO featherweight champion Naseem Hamed had made his American debut after inking a 6-fight contract with cable giant HBO. Hamed had taken on one of his toughest opponents at the time in former WBC featherweight champion Kevin Kelley. In an action packed fight that HBO commentator Larry Merchant dubbed the Hagler–Hearns of the featherweight division, Hamed and Kelley each scored three knockdowns over one another with Hamed ultimately scoring the KO victory in the fourth round. In March 1998, it was announced that Hamed would return to his native England to face veteran 3-division world champion Wilfredo Vázquez of Puerto Rico. Vazquez had captured the WBA version of the featherweight title in 1996 and was recognized as the lineal champion of the division. Though Vazquez was supposed to make a mandatory title defense against WBA's number one contender Antonio Cermeño, Vazquez had hoped that the WBA would allow him to postpone his match with Cermeño and instead allow him to defend the title against Hamed, but the WBA instead opted to strip him of the title.

For Hamed's return to England, promoter Frank Warren organized a fight card that also included Chris Eubank moving up to the cruiserweight division to challenge Carl Thompson for the WBO cruiserweight championship and Herbie Hide defending his WBO heavyweight crown against Damon Reed. Steve Robinson was also originally scheduled to challenge Luisito Espinosa for the WBC featherweight title, but Espinosa pulled out of the bout after his father and trainer Egmedio suffered a heart attack prior to the fight.

The Fight
Prior to the fight, Hamed predicted that he would knock out Vázquez within 2 rounds, though his prediction would not come to be. Through the first two rounds, Hamed was the more active puncher as Vazquez took a more defensive approach and attempted to counter the highly unorthodox Hamed. As the first round came to a close, Hamed threw Vazquez to the canvas after he missed with a left hand and the resulting momentum caused Vazquez to go down. In the second round, Vazquez wobbled the champion after landing a hard right hook, but Hamed was able to quickly regain his composure. Hamed began to take control in round 3 as he was able to score his first knockdown of the fight. Vazquez landed a straight right to Hamed's head, but Hamed countered with a left hand that sent Vazquez down, though he was able to quickly get back up and continue the fight. After controlling both rounds 4 and 5, Hamed landed a straight left in the sixth that again put Vazquez down for the second time, but Vazquez was again able to continue. Shortly after, the referee momentarily stopped the bout as one of the ring ropes had come loose. After an over 5-minute delay in which the damaged rope had to be completely removed and in which Vazquez and Hamed exchanged words before Vazquez got into Hamed's face and headbutted him, the fight resumed. Despite the fact Vazquez was floored in round six, one judge (Paul Thomas) for some reason scored the round for him, 10-9. Early in round 7, Vazquez swung and missed Hamed with a right hook and Hamed countered with a strong left that put Vazquez down for the third time. Vazquez was clearly hurt from the exchange and Hamed dropped Vazquez again with another left. Vazquez again got back up but was swarmed by a barrage of punches by Hamed causing the referee to stop the fight and award Hamed the TKO victory at 2:29 of the seventh round.

Placement of exercises
I apologize for inserting exercises in simple examples without checking for exercises elsewhere. I kind of feel like having the exercises inline is a good idea, since this is not a reference work. Still mulling this one over, advice welcome. --Yath 00:21, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

if
Does anyone know a decent reason why "the if control structure" should get its own section? Shouldn't it just be covered in the section on control-flow operators? -- MrItty 13:37, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Gui Programming
Does anyone know why the Gui programming bit is left out? <IP_ADDRESS> 19:01, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Problem with navigation
I saw a problem with the prognav. The articles do not follow the order specified in the index. I tried to fix it. Since I'm not very experienced it would be best if someone can check-out the changes. --<IP_ADDRESS> 10:37, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Maybe rename to slash-split pages
Apparently, on MediaWiki, if the pages were named

 * Programming:Perl / Getting started
 * Programming:Perl / First program
 * Programming:Perl / Strings
 * Programming:Perl / Numbers
 * Programming:Perl / Operators
 * Programming:Perl / Data Types
 * Programming:Perl / Data Types / Scalar Variables
 * Programming:Perl / Data Types / Array Variables
 * Programming:Perl / Data Types / Hash Variables
 * Programming:Perl / User I/O
 * Programming:Perl / Advanced Output
 * Programming:Perl / Making choices: if and else
 * Programming:Perl / Doing things over and over: while and for loops
 * Programming:Perl / Filehandles

(and so on), then we'd get navigation and table-of-contents for free. The Grand_Theft_Auto:_San_Andreas wikibook moved to this. Why aren't the pages named like this? If no-one objects, I'd be happy to start the renaming. --Randal L. Schwartz 19:39, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Sounds perfect. Is there any way to make the watching work the same way so we can watch the whole book, not just individual pages --<IP_ADDRESS> 00:02, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

 * You should not add spaces arround the '/' - only without spaces the page is considered a "subpage." --Krischik T 07:29, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

You should remember, that WB:NP does not force renaming of old books - it's often too complicated.

 * Having just renamed the largest of the programming books (205 modules - the remaining of programming is now only 481 modules), I can say: it's not to complicated to rename a book if you plan it propper (Talk:Ada_Programming/New_Name_needed) . It's just a choice if you want to do it or not. --Krischik T 12:02, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

I won't reccomend slash convention as navigation is already present in the book and automatic links would only mess up. IMO if you want to change naming convention, you should use flat semicolon convention:

 * Programming:Perl:Operators
 * Programming:Perl:Data Types
 * Programming:Perl:Scalar Variables

It also has advantage of consistency with Programming: prefix - if we use both semicolon and slash in names, we would confuse reader. --Derbeth 08:16, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Indeed. Books inside Programming are better off using ":" - only it's called a colon not semicolon - the later is the ";". --Krischik T 12:02, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Naming policy
You might want to consider the WB:NP. You current naming convention is deprecated and has several disadvantages - like it has no navigational links. Also you worthy effort is neiter considered a book nor a section inside a book. See wikistats which implements an exstensive book and section detector.

--Krischik T 07:15, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Alright I renamed a good portion of the pages.  I've been getting many server errors and am going to stop now.   To the next reader...keep the torch lit!   Justforasecond 05:34, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

PerlScript
I am discussing the Windows Script Host in the Windows Programming book, and I have touched on the topic of "PerlScript". I notice that this book currently doesn't have a section on PerlScript, but I think it is a usefull enough topic to have a place somewhere here in Wikibooks. My question is, should I discuss it in the Windows Programming book, or should we discuss it here at Perl? --<IP_ADDRESS> 00:24, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

 * It could be mentioned in passing here maybe with some examples, but it probably doesn't make sense to have a ton of detail. <IP_ADDRESS> 05:19, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Perl Wikibot
I am currently working on a perl framework for interfacing with mediawiki. The framework has a number of components, including components that actually interface with the wikibooks server (or any other mediawiki server, if specified), and components that manipulate and analyze wiki-formatted text. At the moment, I have about half a dozen individual modules, some of which are in very rough shape, and I would like to expand the framework to include more functionality: Now, I'm not a great perl programmer, but I could pick my way through all these tasks over time. I am thinking about creating a sourceforge project to work on this, if other people want to join the project. If nobody else wants to work on it, I'll keep it to myself. I don't necessarily want to create a replacement/competitor for the "pywikibot" that is a popular tool, especially on wikipedia. If anybody is interested in this project, drop me a line on my talk page, or send me an email at wknight8111  hotmail com, with a subject line containing "wikibooks". --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 12:59, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) graphical interface using TK widgets
 * 2) scripting interface for batch jobs
 * 3) remote interface for receiving and executing remote commands (either from a dedicated wiki-page, an IRC chatroom, email, etc)
 * 4) tied filehandle class for reading and writing to wiki using open, print, read, close, etc.
 * 5) RC monitoring (probably via irc://irc.wikimedia.org/en.wikibooks), to find obvious vandalism ("On Wheels!") and revert it automatically

New section about DBI
I added a new section about DBI programming. It is based on a tutorial i wrote once for colleagues. You are welcome to improve it, of course. Currecntly it has only one example for Oracle. An example for a free database, such as MySQL, would be most welcome. --Amire80 10:18, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Merging Picking Up Perl into this book
I have a book that I started writing called Picking Up Perl that I have long since abandonded. I'd like to simply bring it over to WikiBooks. The question is whether to merge it into this book, or to put it up as its own thing. The latter is much easier, so I'd prefer that as I don't have a lot of time, but if folks think that's a bad idea, I won't do it. Thoughts? -- bkuhn 16:57, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I decided to make the effort to merge the text of Picking Up Perl, which has already been under the FDL for years, long before Wikibooks existed, into this book. I am doing it piece-meal when I get time, and I am keeping track of which sections have been merged here.  Please note here if you merge a section in so I know not to do it. -- bkuhn 20:44, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Parts of PuP that have been merged in

 * Merged in Single-Quoted-Strings section and introduction to Strings chapter. -- bkuhn 20:44, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

lots of modifications
Just updated a lot of stuff wanted to give users a place to talk about my mods, re: here if you have anything to say about them EvanCarroll 09:43, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Perl 6 Book
I think it would be far too much work to try and cram information about Perl 6 into this book as well, there is far too little overlap with existing Perl 5 materials, and I think it would be better off as it's own book. To that end, I've been working on an outline for a new Perl 6 book in my user space: User:Whiteknight/Perl 6 Programming. Anybody who is interested in this project, come take a look at what I have so far, and let me know what you think. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 21:57, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

USA-1 (satellite)

USA-1, also known as Navstar 9, GPS I-9 and GPS SVN-9, was an American navigation satellite launched in 1984 as part of the Global Positioning System development programme. It was the ninth of eleven Block I GPS satellites to be launched, and the first satellite to receive a USA designation.

Background
Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense to provide all-weather round-the-clock navigation capabilities for military ground, sea, and air forces. Since its implementation, GPS has also become an integral asset in numerous civilian applications and industries around the globe, including recreational used (e.g., boating, aircraft, hiking), corporate vehicle fleet tracking, and surveying. GPS employs 24 spacecraft in 20,200 km circular orbits inclined at 55°. These vehicles are placed in 6 orbit planes with four operational satellites in each plane.

Spacecraft
The first eleven spacecraft (GPS Block 1) were used to demonstrate the feasibility of the GPS system. They were 3-axis stabilized, nadir pointing using reaction wheels. Dual solar arrays supplied over 400 watts. They had S-band communications for control and telemetry and Ultra high frequency (UHF) cross-link between spacecraft. They were manufactured by Rockwell Space Systems, were 5.3 meters across with solar panels deployed, and had a design life expectancy of 5 years. Unlike the later operational satellites, GPS Block 1 spacecraft were inclined at 63°.

Launch
USA-1 was launched at 11:37 UTC on 13 June 1984, atop an Atlas E launch vehicle with an SGS-2 upper stage. The Atlas used had the serial number 42E, and was originally built as an Atlas E.
