2019–20 DEL2 season

The 2019–20 DEL2 season was the seventh season since the founding of the DEL2, the second tier of German ice hockey, set below the Deutsche Eishockey Liga. The season began on 13 September 2019 and prematurely ended on 10 March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). Löwen Frankfurt was named winner of the regular season, but no season champion was declared with the championship play-offs called off. In addition, the relegation play-offs were also cancelled so the league decided there would be no relegation for the season.

Modus
Fourteen teams competed in the 2019–20 DEL2 regular season. EV Landshut was promoted from Germany's third division, Oberliga. Each team played each other twice in the regular season, home and away, for a total of 52 matches each. The top six teams directly qualified for the championship playoffs, played in a best of seven format. Teams placed seven to ten advanced to the championship playoff qualifiers, which followed a best of three format. The bottom four teams enter the relegation playoffs. The two losing teams from round 1 face off in the relegation final with the losing team being relegated to Oberliga.

The DEL2 champion does not automatically get promoted to DEL. In September 2015, the DEL and DEL2 agreed to reintroduce promotion and relegation between the two leagues from the 2017–18 season onwards. The DEL2 champion would then have the opportunity to be promoted, provided it fulfilled the licensing requirements of the DEL, while the last-placed DEL club would be relegated. In 2018, the two leagues signed a new agreement to reintroduce an automatic promotion and relegation system to start in 2020–21.

Champions

 * World Series: Pittsburgh Pirates over Detroit Tigers (4–3)

Statistical leaders
1 American League Triple Crown batting winner

Events

 * February 19 – The Boston Red Sox trade pitcher Cy Young to the Cleveland Naps in exchange for pitchers Charlie Chech, Jack Ryan and $12,500 cash.
 * April 15 – On Opening Day, Red Ames of the New York Giants allowed no hits through nine innings. In the 10th inning he gave up a single with one out. The Giants eventually fell to the Brooklyn Superbas, 3–0, in 13 innings. In total, Ames allowed a total of seven hits.
 * May 10 – Fred Toney pitches a 17-inning no-hitter for the Winchester Hustlers of the Blue Grass League. Toney has 19 strikeouts and 1 walk in the 1–0 victory. In 1917, Toney will pitch a 10-inning no-hitter in the major leagues.
 * July 2 – The Chicago White Sox collected 12 stolen bases in the course of a 15–3 victory over the St. Louis Browns. Three are steals of home, including one by pitcher Ed Walsh in the sixth inning.
 * July 15 – The Brooklyn Superbas purchase the contract of outfielder Zach Wheat from Mobile of the Southern Association.
 * July 19 – In the second inning of the first game of a doubleheader, Cleveland Naps shortstop Neal Ball becomes the first player in Major League Baseball history to turn an undisputed unassisted triple play. With two men on base, Neal caught a line drive hit by Amby McConnell, then gets Heinie Wagner at second base, and later tagged Jake Stahl to complete the feat. Cleveland defeated the Boston Red Sox, 6–1, while Cy Young was credited as the winning pitcher.
 * August 31 – A.J. Reach Company is granted a patent for its cork-centered baseball, which will replace the hard rubber-cored one. This change will be particularly apparent in the National League in 1910 and 1911.
 * September 27 – The New York Giants defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8–7, to snap the Pirates' sixteen game winning streak.
 * October 16 – The Pittsburgh Pirates defeat the Detroit Tigers, 8–0, in Game 7 of the World Series, winning their first modern World Championship, four games to three. Rookie pitcher Babe Adams earned his third victory of the series, while completing each of the games. The Tigers thus became the first American League team to win three consecutive pennants, and the first team to lose three straight World Series.
 * November 26 – The Philadelphia Phillies are sold for $350,000 to a group headed by sportswriter Horace Fogel. Because of his dual roles, Fogel will become the only executive barred from a league meeting.

Ammochostos Stadium

Ammochostos Stadium (Γήπεδο 'Αμμόχωστος') is a multi-purpose stadium in Larnaca, Cyprus. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the temporary home ground of the refugee team from the occupied city of Famagusta, Nea Salamis Famagusta.

History
The original home ground of Nea Salamina FC was GSE Stadium in Famagusta, but due to the Turkish occupation of the town since 1974 they cannot use it. After that, Nea Salamis FC moved, temporarily, to Larnaca and built their own stadium.

The decision to build the stadium came in 1989. The December of the same year it started to be built. After many wages offered from Salamis fans in Cyprus and abroad, from Cyprus Sports Association and from many workers it was built in a short time.

The first official game of Nea Salamina Famagusta in the stadium was played on 12 October 1991 with Evagoras Paphos as opponent. Nea Salamina won 4–1.

The stadium hosted the 1992 UEFA European Under-16 Football Championship final on 17 May 1992 between Germany and Spain where Germany won 2–1.

In 1998, the stadium underwent some renovations.

Ammochostos Stadium has a capacity of 5,000 seats and is located in Larnaca. Soon, a third shuttle will be built and the stadium will hold 7,500 people.

Since 2007, under the south shuttle of the stadium is the dwelling and the offices of Nea Salamis FC.

Name
Ammochostos Stadium named after the town of Famagusta (Αμμόχωστος; Ammochostos), which is the original seat of Nea Salamina.

Other teams
The stadium was used for some periods as a home ground by Alki Larnaca FC (2007—2009), AEL Limassol (in 2001, for a little period due to the improvement of their own ground), Ermis Aradippou (2001–2002, 2010–2012, 2013–14, 2020–2021), Doxa Katokopia (2012–2013), Alki Oroklini (2016–2022), AEZ Zakakiou (2023–) and Othellos Athienou (2023–).

Catoptromancy

Catoptromancy (from Ancient Greek κάτοπτρον katoptron, "mirror," and μαντεία manteia, "divination"), also known as captromancy or enoptromancy, is divination using a mirror.

Methods
There are many different methods of catoptromancy. Some practitioners use a single mirror, while others use multiple mirrors or even crystal balls. Some people look into the mirror in a dark room, while others prefer to do it in natural light. Some practitioners focus on their own reflection, while others look for visions of other people or events.

There is no one definitive interpretation of the images seen in catoptromancy. Some people believe that they are literal representations of the future, while others believe that they are symbolic or metaphorical. Ultimately, the meaning of the visions is up to the individual practitioner to decide. Catoptromancy continues to be practiced today, although it is not as widespread as it once was. There are a number of websites and books that offer instructions on how to perform catoptromancy, and there are even some practitioners who offer professional readings.

Greece and Rome
Pausanias, an ancient Greek traveler, described the practice as follows:

"Before the Temple of Ceres at Patras, there was a fountain, separated from the temple by a wall, and there was an oracle, very truthful, not for all events, but for the sick only. The sick person let down a mirror, suspended by a thread till its base touched the surface of the water, having first prayed to the goddess and offered incense. Then; looking into the mirror, he saw the presage of death or recovery, according as the face appeared fresh and healthy, or of a ghastly aspect."

In Ancient Rome, the priests who used catoptromancy were called specularii. They would use polished metal mirrors to gaze into the future and seek guidance from the gods. Catoptromancy was also popular in medieval Europe, and was practiced by pagans and Christians alike.

Egypt
The practice of catoptromancy is said to date back to the Ancient Egyptians. They believed that mirrors could be used as portals guiding them into the afterlife, or used as a tool to see into the future. Mirrors have been found inside Egyptian burial tombs, and were used in ceremonial practices attempting to contact the dead. For example, a collection of funerary manuscripts known as the Book of the Dead describes a ritual in which a mirror could be used by the recently deceased to unite with their mortal soul by looking at their own reflection in the afterlife.

China
Catoptromancy was also practiced in ancient China. The Chinese believed that mirrors could be used to see into the soul and to predict the future. They would often use mirrors to perform rituals to cleanse the soul and to improve one's luck. For example, one popular ritual involved gazing into a mirror in a dark room and trying to see the reflection of one's future spouse.

India
Catoptromancy was also practiced in ancient India. The Indians believed that mirrors could be used to see into the past, present, and future. They would often use mirrors to perform rituals to gain knowledge and power. The Indian belief that mirrors could be used to see into the past, present, and future is supported by the fact that mirrors are often mentioned in Hindu mythology. For example, in the Mahabharata, a Hindu epic poem, the hero Yudhishthira uses a mirror to see into the future and learn about his upcoming battle.

Use in early Europe
A French book named La catoptromancie grecque et ses dérivés (which translates in English to "Greek catoptromancy and its derivatives") by Armand Delatte from 1932 details the history of catoptromancy in the context of early European history.

Dellate wrote that, in the Middle Ages, mentions of the divinatory mirror appear, "obscure and also uncertain", in the canon of an Irish council "whose convocation is reported by tradition". Historical criticism shows that the collection of these texts cannot go back further than the beginning of the 6th[-][sic]11th century, although certain canons can claim to a more remote antiquity. Here is an example: "I translate literally: 'the Christian, it is said, who believes that there is a witch (lamia or striga) in a mirror, will be anathema, anyone who launches this insult against a person; and he cannot be received into the church before having personally retracted the accusation he has made and thus having done penance with all desirable zeal'. The absence of connection, in the first sentence, between the two relative clauses, as well as the mention of a single measure of reparation and penance, which consists of the retraction of an insult, clearly shows, despite the clumsiness of the editorial, that we cannot dissociate the two faults referred to in this canon: it is the same person who claims to see a witch in a mirror and who, in relation to this first error (as shown by the words this insult), launches against others an accusation of witchcraft. To express our thoughts clearly, sin consists, according to us, of trying to recognize a witch with the help of a magic mirror. Certain modern superstitions and customs can be cited in support of this interpretation. In Thuringia, in Scotland and in the country of Cornwall, we encountered, not long ago, diviners who had the power to make witches and evil people appear, either in an ordinary mirror or in a mirror specially consecrated by magical rites, as well as the author of a theft or any other secret thing. Frazer reports, according to Miss Gordon Cumming, that a family of Nairn in Scotland possessed in the last century 'a crystal ball which, immersed in a bucket of water, becomes a magic mirror reflecting the face of the evil neighbor who bewitched the cattle'. Here we encounter for the first time an example of those combinations of lecanomancy with crystallomancy or catoptromancy to which I alluded previously. The text of the Irish canon therefore seems to me to target a particular use of divination by the mirror, one of those which was considered more dangerous by the Church of the first centuries, because it favored belief in magic."

Talk:Dick Lee

This article reads more like Dick Lee's CV than a neutral wikipedia article. Why is there a need for an "achievements" section? Just remove all the non-awards "achievements" (these are all things already mentioned in the main body of the article hence its just unnecessary repetition) and change the section name to "Awards". That's what's done on the pages of other artists too.

I don't think the wording throughout the article is neutral either (again it reads more like someone's cover letter & CV), and the entire article is lacking sources. Bennv3771 (talk) 13:13, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of buildings in Seattle

The result was   delete. Though consensus is clear that this list is unworkable as is (perhaps a WP:TNT conclusion), I don't see any consensus against a different attempt at cataloging in list form the contents of Category:Buildings and structures in Seattle, Washington, particularly if done in a list of lists format. postdlf (talk) 18:40, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

List of buildings in Seattle

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No clear criteria for inclusion. As National Register of Historic Places listings in King County, Washington and List of Seattle landmarks already exist, this is basically "things that we recognize that nobody else does" -- and there are items on this list that have moved into one or the other of the above over time. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:23, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: Indiscriminate list. Could contain anything.  p  b  p  14:41, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as indiscriminate collection of information already covered with better-curated lists and categories, especially List of Seattle landmarks. Note that there is also Featured List List of tallest buildings in Seattle as well as Category:Skyscrapers in Seattle, Washington and Category:Places of worship in Seattle, Washington, etc. Valfontis (talk) 15:55, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Valfontis asked me to comment, which is probably appropriate because the article is largely illustrated with photos I took. I don't see much use to this, because it is, as others have said, an indiscriminate list. Some of it might form a good beginning for a list Places of worship in Seattle, for which criteria would be clearer. By the way, under the heading "Some notable Seattle buildings are neither nationally registered nor do they have landmark status" are several that are nationally registered or have landmark status, among these the Exchange Building and Pacific Medical Center (the latter registered under its older name). It's hard to see how this is much more than the rump of a category after some other things that meet certain criteria have been removed. - Jmabel | Talk 17:07, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep/merge This page is obviously half-baked and the List of Seattle landmarks isn't much better. For example, neither of them yet include Pike's Place, which I've visited myself as it is far more prominent and notable than the assorted old churches and houses.  But the topic is clearly notable, easily passing WP:LISTN and so should be kept for further work in accordance with our editing policy. Andrew D. (talk) 18:31, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The reason the Pike Place Market isn't listed as a Seattle Landmark is that it isn't a Seattle Landmark. http://www.seattle.gov/neighborhoods/preservation/p.htm. It also isn't a single building, which is another good reason not to list it here. -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:33, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Pike Place Market is so notable that there are entire books about it. The idea that it should not be included in such coverage of Seattle is absurd.  If such thinking is behind these ridiculous nominations then they should be dismissed as frivolous. Andrew D. (talk) 19:37, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Pike Place Market isn't a building. There are numerous buildings in the Market historical district. Complaining that it isn't in a list of buildings is like complaining that the New York Yankees is missing from a list of baseball players. - Jmabel | Talk
 * Pike Place Market is a large covered market. It's not like the Yankees; it's more like Yankee Stadium.  Yankee Stadium is a complex consisting of a field, the stands, a great hall, concourses, concessions, &c.  And it appears in the corresponding List of buildings, sites, and monuments in New York City, just as we'd expect.  The only difference seems to be that if your city is on the East Coast or Midwest, you're good but if it's in the Pacific Northwest, you're bad.  Andrew D. (talk) 08:42, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Andrew, recycling "so should be kept for further work in accordance with our editing policy" adds zero weight to establishing notability. LibStar (talk) 02:56, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Notability is a matter of sources. It's easy to find sources which list prominent buildings in Seattle such as Famous Buildings: A Primer of Architecture or Seattle's Historic Hotels. Andrew D. (talk) 08:42, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Redirect to National Register of Historic Places listings in Seattle, Washington. Someone is more likely to type in this title, but that title is clearly defined. --ThaddeusB (talk) 22:54, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's easily possible for this list to cover all WP:N-qualifying buildings in the city that currently have articles.  It can be a mix of "See this more precise list" (e.g. provide links to the NR list, tallest buildings, and locally designated landmarks) and direct links to buildings that aren't in any of these lists.  If it becomes too long, just split a bunch of them off onto another sublist.  This AFD grows out of one for historical buildings and landmarks in Portland, Oregon, but there's a major difference between the two: we can't easily define which ones are historical and which ones aren't, but anyone with a basic map can decide whether a building's in Seattle or not.  Nyttend (talk) 12:58, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete because this List article adds nothing to what a Category on the same theme would provide. Yes, I realize lists and categories on the same subject can co-exist and provide great value to our readers, but I'm not seeing it here. Numerous non-notable buildings are included in this list in its current incarnation, and I don't think the cleanup needed here would be a worthwhile use of time. Townlake (talk) 16:12, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:LC items 1-3, 6, 7, and 10. Stifle (talk) 15:37, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, — Coffee //  have a cup  //  beans  // 02:21, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete list of tallest buildings makes sense. but this list which is turning into a directory by adding red links could end up being every building in Seattle. LibStar (talk) 02:55, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. The scope of this list is too broad. -- SoCalSuperEagle ( talk ) 22:04, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Way too vague. Another Believer  ( Talk ) 02:44, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think this is actually a useful concept for a navigational index article, although the inclusion criteria are not stated clearly enough: (1) Building in Seattle WITH Wikipedia articles; (2) Which are NOT recognized as landmarks; and (3) which are NOT on the National Registry of Historic Places list. That is a finite and easily-definable set. What we have here is a fairly minor editing of the text that needs to be done. Carrite (talk) 18:30, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

PHP Programming/PHP Include Files

Includes
There are two methods of including a file in PHP:  and.

They both perform essentially the same function, but have one major difference:  will only throw a warning if there is a problem during the include process; , however, will halt execution in this scenario. Therefore, a script's dependencies will often be called with.

Prior to version 4.0.2,  also attempted to read a file, regardless of whether the code in that file was executed or not. This means that if a file did not exist, an error would be thrown even if it would never be interpreted. The following code:

would therefore fail on the first  in versions before 4.0.2, and the second in all other versions.

Include Once
Additionally, there exist many code libraries, class definitions, and variable declarations that you will want to separate into an include file, but that should only be called into the current script once. To ensure that these libraries are only included once, php includes the  and  functions.

Each time one of these functions is called, the php parser remembers which file it has called. If another or   attempts to load the same file, the parser will simply skip the command. It will produce no error or warning, it will simply act as though the command had executed successfully. This is because, in fact, it has.

IMPORTANT: If you include a file once with  and then later using , the file will be included a second time. If a file is included using  and a call to the same file is made by , it will not be included again. Include_once and require_once have the same 'memory,' as it were.

World Thinking Day

World Thinking Day, formerly  Thinking Day, is celebrated annually on 22 February by all Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. It is also celebrated by Scout and Guide organizations around the world. It is a day when they think about their "sisters" (and "brothers") in all the countries of the world, the meaning of Guiding, and its global impact.

Most recently, World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts has selected an important international issue as the theme for each year's World Thinking Day, and selected a focus country from each of their five world regions. Girl Guides and Girl Scouts use these as an opportunity to study and appreciate other countries and cultures, and equally increase awareness and sensitivity on global concerns. Donations are collected for the Thinking Day Fund which supports projects to help Girl Guides and Scouts around the world.

22 February was chosen as it was the birthday of Scouting and Guiding founder Lord Robert Baden-Powell and of Lady Olave Baden-Powell, his wife and World Chief Guide. Other Scouts celebrate it as '''B.-P. Day or Founders' Day'''.

History
In 1926, at the Fourth Girl Scout International Conference, held at Girl Scouts of the United States’s Camp Edith Macy (presently the Edith Macy Conference Center), the conference delegates highlighted the need for a special international day when Girl Guides and Girl Scouts would think about the worldwide spread of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting, and of all the Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world, giving them, their "sisters," thanks and appreciation.

It was decided by the delegates that this day would be 22 February, the birthday of both Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scout movement, and Lady Olave Baden-Powell, his wife and the World Chief Guide.

In 1999, at the 30th World Conference, held in Ireland, the name was changed from "Thinking Day" to "World Thinking Day", to emphasize the global aspect of this special day.

World Thinking Day Fund
At the Seventh World Conference in Poland, a Belgian delegate suggested that the girls' appreciation and friendship should not only be shown by the exchange of wishes, but also through presents, which are after all typical of birthdays, in the form of a voluntary contribution to the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.

In her first letter about the World Thinking Day Fund Lady Baden-Powell, the World Chief Guide, asked the Girl Guides and Girl Scouts to donate "a penny for your thoughts," in order to support the Movement. The amount raised was £520 12s 6d in 1933, and rose to £35,346 in 1971. The World Thinking Day Fund is used to help more girls and young women around the world by spreading the Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting programme.

World Thinking Day themes
The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts chooses a theme for each World Thinking Day and proposes related activities. Themes include:
 * 2005: "Think about food"
 * 2006: "Think about, talk about and do something about adolescent health issues"; often shortened to Think about adolescent health
 * 2007: "Discover your potential by taking the lead, growing friendships, and speaking out"; often shortened to Discover your potential
 * 2008: "Think about water"
 * 2009: UN Millennium Development Goal 6: "Stop the spread of AIDS, malaria and other diseases"; often shortened to Stop the spread of diseases
 * 2010: UN Millennium Development Goal 1: Girls worldwide say "Together we can end extreme poverty and hunger".
 * 2011: UN Millennium Development Goal 3: Girls worldwide say "Empowering girls will change our world".
 * 2012: UN Millennium Development Goal 7: Girls worldwide say “We can save our planet”.
 * 2013: UN Millennium Development Goal 4: "Reduce child mortality" and UN Millennium Development Goal 5:"Improve maternal health"
 * 2014: UN Millennium Development Goal 2: "Providing universal access to primary education"
 * 2015: UN Millennium Development Goal 8: "Developing partnerships for global development"
 * 2016: "Connect"
 * 2017: "Grow"
 * 2018: "Impact"
 * 2019: "Leadership"
 * 2020: "Living Threads"
 * 2021: "Stand Together for Peace"
 * 2022: "Our World, Our Equal Future: The environment and gender equality"
 * 2023: "Our World, Our Peaceful Future: The environment, peace and security"
 * 2024: "Our World, Our Thriving Future: The environment and global poverty"

Traditions and activities
Every year on 22 February, Rangers from Mona Burgin's Unit in Auckland, New Zealand, set off before dawn, while it is still dark, and they climb to the top of Maungawhau / Mount Eden. There they set up their campfire and a flag-staff, and as the sun rises over the sea they raise the Guide World Flag, they sing the World Song, and they speak of some of the people and the countries they are Thinking about - and so they start "The Big Think" which then travels all the way round the world.

On the nearest weekend to World Thinking Day, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts from across the world come together on ScoutLink to chat with each other and celebrate their Founders. Others are involved with Thinking Day on the Air (TDOTA) using amateur radio, similar to the Jamboree On The Air of the Scout movement.

Some World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts member organizations use it as an opportunity to do projects with their 'twin' organization, such as Canada and Dominica.

One tradition is that every Scout or Guide, ex-Scout or ex-Guide, places a candle in their window that night at dusk: "This is my little Guiding Light, I'm going to let it shine."

It is also a tradition to send letters or postcards to other Scout and Guides before Thinking Day. In 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 a postcard campaign was organized by the Ring deutscher Pfadfinderverbände, Ring Deutscher Pfadfinderinnenverbände, Lëtzebuerger Guiden a Scouten, Swiss Guide and Scout Movement, Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Liechtensteins and Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Österreichs.

Literature
"It was in Poland [at the 7th World Guide Conference, held in Katowice in 1932] that `Thinking Day' had its origins. A Belgian Guider at the Conference suggested that there should be one day set apart in each year when all of us should think of each other in terms of love and friendship. All the students of Scout and Guide pray to the god .could have as vital a power as the Women's World Day of Prayer. There was also a practical suggestion that on `Thinking Day', each Guide throughout the world should contribute `A Penny for Your Thoughts' towards the World Association funds. The Conference paid Robin (her pet-name for her husband) and me the compliment of choosing our joint birthday, 22 February, as Thinking Day. At first the idea hung fire but, one by one, the nations began to promote the scheme. Money began to pour in for the World Association and the totals have risen steadily from £520 12s. 6d. in 1933 to £35,346 in 1970/71 — the last year for which I have the complete figures.

"Far greater than the financial success, however, is the spiritual impact of Thinking Day. A special message I broadcast some years ago gives my assessment of its value: "During the twenty-four hours of 22 February, these kindly, generous thoughts are being thrown out into the ether by Guides who care personally about the preaching of love and goodwill in the world, and these thoughts and prayers are concentrated thus as a live force for the developing of friendship and understanding, for which all peoples are longing.

"Though you cannot visit sister Guides in France or Finland, in Austria or Australia, in Italy or Iceland, Canada or Chile, Ghana or Guatemala, U.S.A. or U.A.R., you can reach out to them there in your MIND. And in this unseen, spiritual way you can give them your uplifting sympathy and friendship. Thus do we Guides, of all kinds and of all ages and of all nations, go with the highest and the best towards the spreading of true peace and goodwill on earth."

- "Window on my Heart" by Olave Lady Baden-Powell with Mary Drewery

Graduate Record Examination

The Graduate Admissions Examine comes in a variety of flavors.

There is the general test, and then different sub tests like engineering, computer science, psychology, etc.

This is a page for helping Wikiversity participants prepare for GREs. http://www.ets.org/gre/

If you want to attend graduate school, at least in America, you will probably have to take the GRE.

There are variety of reasons to attend graduate school. In graduate studies you will cover a topic in much greater depth than in high school, or undergraduate studies. You can also have a chance to do research.

If you are passionate about something, that is the best reason to attend graduate school. However, there are many other reasons.

Money is one. Statistically, people who attend graduate school make more money than those who do not. They also have greater flexibility in what they can do to earn a living.

There are several ways to do well on the GRE. The underlying principle to all these methods is to know the material. You can know the material through dilligent study. This can be dilligent study in college, or you can dilligently study books on the GRE. They sell practice GRE tests for around 20-40 dollars. They have classes on the GRE that cover all the material too.

Grades are important to getting into graduate school, so if you study hard, and get good grades, chances are you will be more prepared than not to take and succeed on the GRE.

Executive Summary If, based on the evidence I collected, I had to choose one parent report, one teacher report, and one diagnostic interview upon which to base a diagnosis of child or adolescent ADHD, I would choose the following: Parent Report Form: CBCL, specifically the CBCL Attention Problems Scale Teacher Report Form: Conners Teacher Rating Scale Revised-Long Form (CTRSR-L), though it should be noted that there is not a lot of evidence that any teacher rating scale is really very effective in informing one's diagnosis of ADHD, and teacher report adds questionable incremental validity in terms of ADHD diagnosis over and above parent-report (Pelham, Fabiano, & Massetti, 2005; Shemmassian & Lee, 2011) Diagnostic Interview: MINI-KID, though others are also acceptable.

Recommended Diagnostic Interviews: MINI-KID : MINI-KID has good to excellent AUC values for most individual disorders, and good AUC values for ADHD diagnosis. MINI-KID also provides both positive and negative likelihood ratios that are helpful in determining changes in probability that clients has the disorder. Finally, the MINI-KID takes 68% less time (33 minutes versus 103 minutes) than the K-SADS-PL (Sheehan et. al, 2009).

Other recommended structured diagnostic interviews: Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children Version IV (DISC-IV; Jensen et al., 1996): Moderate to high test-retest reliability for the parent version (.79), adequate interrater reliability (0.70), demonstrated that children classified using the DISC had higher risk on indexes of child impairment, sensitive to behavioral and pharmacological treatment effects (Pelham et. al, 2005). Diagnostic Interview for Children and Adolescents-Revised (DICA-R; Boyle et. al, 1993): High reliability scores for the parent version, parent assessment of ADHD tended to be more reliable for older children, stability of diagnosis demonstrated over 1 to 3 years. Good sensitivity and specificity of assessment and diagnosis reported (Pelham et al., 2005).

Other recommended semi-structured diagnostic interviews: Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (K-SADS; Biederman et al., 1993): Interrater reliability of К = .56, but demonstrated excellent convergence with CBCL Attention Problems Scale, used as the "gold-standard" against which numerous ADHD screening instruments and diagnostic interviews are compared (Pelham et al., 2005).

Recommended Screening Measures: Parent Report: CBCL Attention Problems Scale: The CBCL Attention Problems Subscale was the parent-reported subscale that had been analyzed using ROC methodology in multiple studies, resulting in AUC values ranging from 0.84-0.90. Those AUC values were the highest observed in my search of the literature. Additionally, in different studies the CBCL Attention Problems Scale produced LR+ values that ranged 6.92 to 47, which means they ranged from helpful to clinically decisive, though LR- ratios produced by the scale were less helpful (the lowest negative likelihood ratio value found was 0.19 and LR- values ranged from 0.19 to 0.66). Other Recommended Measures: Disruptive Behavior Disorder Rating Scale-Parent Report : Very similar results to CBCL. Slightly smaller AUC, (AUC = .78), and LR+ value (5.06), but more useful LR- value (0.20). Teacher Report: Conners Teacher Rating Scale Revised-Long Form (CTRS-R-L): There were no AUC values reported for the CTRS-R-L but the CTRS-R-L was the only scale to demonstrate a LR+ value (8.66) and a LR- value (0.24) that were both in the range of values that were clinically helpful. Other (very tenatively) Recommended Measures: TRF Attention Problems Subscale: No AUC value reported, somewhat clinically helpful LR+ value (LR+ = 3.66), not a clinically helpful LR- value (=0.73)

Guitar/Chord Types

A chord is two or more different notes played simultaneously. Most chords have three notes though. Chords derive their names from the root note; so a C chord has C for its root note and a G7 chord will have G. The interval between the root note and the third determines whether a chord is a major or minor. Chords may be strummed or the notes picked individually though beginners find strumming much easier. The more advanced technique of picking is examined in the Picking and Plucking chapter.

While chords are primarily used for rhythm guitar, basic chord knowledge can be important for lead playing as well. Knowing how chords are constructed can help when learning the lead parts of many songs since there is always a relationship between a chord and the lead part. For example, if you have to play a lead part over a C major chord (C-E-G) and you use the notes of a D flat major chord (Db-F-Ab) then the result will be very dissonant. Additionally, many lead patterns revolve around arpeggios. These are chords with their notes played in sequence (the word "arpeggio" actually means "broken chord") rather than together. For more information on arpeggios, see the Arpeggio and Sweep Picking chapter.

Chords are easy to play though understanding the theory behind chord construction (harmony) will require some understanding of scales. While it is not essential to have a knowledge of scales to be able to use this section, understanding scales will definitely improve your general musicianship. With that in mind, go ahead and learn and use these chords without worrying too much about the theory and when you have the time take a look at the page on general music theory and the page on scales.

Beginners are advised to start with open chords, which are often the easiest chords to form. Learning open chords is important because it sets the stage for learning how to form barre chords. Barre Chords are chords you form by pressing all (or some) of the strings down with the first finger. This finger acts as the barre (the same job that the nut of the guitar does when you are playing open chords). Because of this barre chords don't usually include open strings and can be moved freely up and down the neck. As you move your barre chord, the shape of the chord remains the same although all the notes change. Barring is an important technique and greatly opens up the neck of the instrument.

Major chords
The most basic chord is called a triad and consists of three different notes. A major triad consists of the root, a major third, and a perfect fifth. The early study of chords should be based around how to build the tonic triad (chord) from any major scale. To build the tonic triad you take the first note of any major scale and the third note (a major 3rd) and the fifth note (a perfect fifth). Take for example building a tonic triad (chord) from the C major scale. If you look at this C major scale: C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C you will notice that the first, third and fifth notes of the scale are C, E, and G. The most obvious thing that most guitarists become instantly aware of is that the C major played in the first position actually involves playing 5 strings and therefore must have more notes than a triad. The C major chord shown below has these notes C, E, G, C, E. If you cancel out the doubles you are left with a C major triad. This brings us to an important rule: any chord tone (note) can be doubled without affecting the chords designation. Therefore a C major triad (C-E-G) and the first position C major chord below (C-E-G-C-E) are both still C major chords though the 5 note version will sound fuller due to the note doubling. Major chords have a characteristically bright and happy sound.

Minor chords
The minor triad consists of a root, a minor third and a perfect fifth. The interval between the root and third is a minor third and the interval between the root and fifth is a perfect fifth. Minor chords have a dissonant quality due to the interval of a minor third. It must be remembered that we are talking about building chords from scales and that these intervals, the minor third and perfect fifth, are the interval designations from the scale which are then applied to naming the intervals in a chord. Which is why the triad intervals are not named 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Minor chords are best understood in relation to their major chord counterpart. In the example below we will use E major and E minor. When we play an E major chord, we can flatten the third of the chord by lifting the finger that is holding down the third string at the first fret, making it an open string. By altering this one note so that the interval is changed from a major third to a minor third, we have formed a new chord: E minor.

Switching between major and minor chords can be relatively easy, as it involves the change of only one note. Some chord changes, for example changing between an open F major to a F minor, will need a little more effort.

Dominant Seventh chords
A minor seventh is added to a major chord. When a minor seventh is added to any major chord that major chord is changed into a dominant seventh. The dominant chord always refers to the chord built on the fifth degree of any major scale. Look at the C major scale below:

C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C

The fifth degree of the scale is G. The chord built on the fifth contains the notes: G-B-D. To change this dominant major chord to a dominant seventh you need to add a fourth note. The note you add is F (the minor seventh) which now makes: G-B-D-F. This chord has very strong need to resolve usually to the tonic. The reason the interval in G-B-D-F is called a minor seventh and not a perfect fourth is that interval designation is determined from the root of the chord being discussed. Take for example the G major scale below:

G-A-B-C-D-E-F#-G

As you can see the interval G-F# is a major seventh. You can form a minor seventh interval by lowering the seventh by a semitone: G-F. This holds true for all major seventh intervals.

At first it seems quite strange looking at the interval relationship of another key to determine the chord intervals of the key you are playing in. With practice it becomes very easy but does involve learning a few major scales.

Sixth chords
Add a sixth to the chord. The two chords below are major chords from the key of C with a sixth added.

Suspended chords
To form a suspended chord the third is replaced with either a second or a fourth. The third of a chord defines its modality - whether a chord is major or minor. By removing the third and replacing it with a second or fourth you have suspended the chord's modal quality. This creates a chord that is neither major or minor and the ear interprets the chord as harmonically ambiguous.

Suspended chords derived from a D major chord:

Slash chords
Chords that are not in root position. For example, a C/G is a C chord with a bass note of G. They are also referred to as "inversions". Slash chords are always notated with their chord name first followed by the bass note.

Diminished chords
These consist of a stack of minor thirds. You can extend a diminished triad (three note chord) by adding another minor third; which gives you a four note chord called a diminished seventh chord. The diminished seventh chord is notated as Co7 or dim7. Diminished seventh chords are built entirely from minor thirds, so you can move the chord shape up the neck in intervals of a minor third (three frets) and this will be exactly the same notes as the original chord but in a different order. The term "inversion" is used when chords have their notes rearranged.

A half-diminished chord consists of a diminished triad with a major third on top. In other words, a half-diminished chord is a diminished triad with a minor seventh. Diminished chords are full of tension because of the dissonance created by stacking minor third intervals and they are normally resolved to a consonant major or minor chord.

Aros/User/FAQs

What is AROS all about?
For the Wikipedia description look here For a detailed description look here

What is the legal status of AROS?
European law says that it is legal to apply reverse engineering techniques to gain interoperability. It also says that it is illegal to distribute the knowledge gained by such techniques. It basically means that you are allowed to disassemble or resource any software to write something which is compatible (for example, it would be legal to disassemble Word to write a program which converts Word documents into ASCII text).

There are of course limitations: you are not allowed to disassemble the software if the information you would gain by this process can be obtained by other means. You must also not tell others what you learned. A book like "Windows inside" is therefore illegal or at least of dubious legality.

Since we avoid disassembling techniques and instead use common available knowledge (which includes programming manuals) which don't fall below any NDA, the above doesn't apply directly to AROS. What counts here is the intention of the law: it is legal to write software which is compatible with some other software. Therefore we believe that AROS is protected by the law.

Patents and header files are a different issue, though. We can use patented algorithms in Europe since European law doesn't allow patents on algorithms. However, code that uses such algorithms that are patented in the USA could not be imported to the USA. Examples of patented algorithms in AmigaOS include screen dragging and the specific way menus work. Therefore we avoid implementing these features in exactly the same way. Header files on the other hand must be compatible but as different as possible from the original.

To avoid any trouble we applied for an official ok from Amiga Inc. They are quite positive about the effort but they are very uneasy about the legal implications. We suggest that you take that fact that Amiga Inc did not send us any cease and desist letters as a positive sign. Unfortunately, no legally sound agreement has been made yet, besides good intentions on both sides.

Can't you implement feature XYZ?
Well,:

1. If it was really important, it probably would be in the original OS. ;-)  2. Why don't you do it yourself and send a patch to us?

The reason for this attitude is that there are plenty of people around who think that their feature is the most important and that AROS has no future if that feature is not built in right away. Our position is that AmigaOS, which AROS aims to implement, can do everything a modern OS should do. We see that there are areas where AmigaOS could be enhanced, but if we do that, who would write the rest of the OS? In the end, we would have lots of nice improvements to the original AmigaOS which would break most of the available software but worth nothing, because the rest of the OS would be missing.

Therefore, we decided to block every attempt to implement major new features in the OS until it is more or less completed. We are getting quite close to that goal now, and there have been a couple of innovations implemented in AROS that aren't available in AmigaOS.

How compatible is AROS with AmigaOS?
Very compatible, it let's you run AROS (on your classic amiga hardware if you like) and let's you run both aros and most classic amiga programs, games, and demos, as long as they are compatible, see compatibility list here.

binaries: We expect that AROS will run existing software on the 68k family Amiga hardware without problems. On other hardware, the existing software can be run through integrated Amiga emulation ("emumiga" or "Janus-UAE"), or the code must be recompiled (see below).

sourcecode: Porting programs from AmigaOS to AROS is currently mostly a matter of a recompilation, with the occasional tweak here and there. There are of course programs for which this is not true, but it holds for most modern ones. We will offer a preprocessor which you can use on your code which will change any code that might break with AROS and/or warn you about such code. See Aros/Developer/Porting_software for more on porting software to AROS.

Why are you only aiming for compatibility with 3.1?
Well, to be honest this is a misconception. The base development is aimed at implementing the apis used in "atleast" AmigaOS v3.1. However along the way it has been necessary to revise the plans somewhat where amigaos3.1 didnt support the necessary functionality. The end result is a feature set somewhere in between OS3.1 and 3.9 however 3.1 is still used as the _base_ of our goals.

There are other developments which do not fit into this framework since they don't involve either OS's apis - such as hidds and the relevant technologies to implement and support them.

To this end developers are pretty free to improve on the underlying AmigaOS technologies so long as they can still support existing AmigaOS functionality and APIS with very little to no effort.

What hardware architectures is AROS available for?
Currently AROS is available in a quite usable state as native and hosted (under Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD) for the i386 architecture (i.e. IBM PC AT compatible clones) and hosted (Linux and NetBSD) for the m68k architecture (e.g. the Amiga, Atari and Macintosh) and hosted on top of ARM Linux distributions. There are ports under way at varying degrees of completeness to SUN SPARC (hosted under Solaris) and Palm compatible handhelds (native).

Will there be a port of AROS to PPC?
There is a port on the Sam-440 board made by Michael Schulz and another port to EFIKA 5200B.

Furthermore, a Linux-PPC hosted AROS exists already.

Why are you using Linux and X11?
We use Linux and X11 to speed up development. For example, if you implement a new function to open a window you can simply write that single function and don't have to write hundreds of other functions in layers.library, graphics.library, a slew of device drivers and the rest that that function might need to use.

The goal for AROS is of course to be independent of Linux and X11 (but it would still be able to run on them if people really wanted to), and that is slowly becoming a reality with the native versions of AROS. We still need to use Linux for development though, since good development tools haven't been ported to AROS yet.

Why does autorepeat stop working in X11 after running AROS?
This is a long-standing bug in AROS. Run the following command after having quit AROS to enable autorepeat again:

> xset r on

How do you intend to make AROS portable?
One of the major new features in AROS compared to AmigaOS is the HIDD (Hardware Independent Device Drivers) system, which will allow us to port AROS to different hardware quite easily. Basically, the core OS libraries do not hit the hardware directly but instead go through the HIDDs, which are coded using an object oriented system that makes it easy to replace HIDDs and reuse code.

Why do you think AROS will make it?
We hear all the day from a lot of people that AROS won't make it. Most of them either don't know what we are doing or they think the Amiga is already dead. After we explained what we do to the former, most agree that it is possible. The latter make more problems. Well, is Amiga dead right now? Those who are still using their Amigas will probably tell you that it isn't. Did your A500 or A4000 blow up when Commodore went bankrupt? Did it blow up when Amiga Technologies did?

The fact is that there is quite little new software developed for the Amiga (although Aminet still chugs along quite nicely) and that hardware is also developed at a lower speed (but the most amazing gadgets seem appear right now). The Amiga community (which is still alive) seems to be sitting and waiting. And if someone releases a product which is a bit like the Amiga back in 1984, then that machine will boom again. And who knows, maybe you will get a CD along with the machine labeled "AROS". :-)

What do I do if AROS won't compile?
Please post a message with details (for example, the error messages you get) on the AROS User mailing list or become a developer and subscribe to the AROS Developer list and post it there, and someone will try to help you.

Will AROS have memory protection, SVM, RT, ...?
This is a heavily discussed subject, some people say yes others no - only time will tell....

Can I become a beta tester?
Sure, no problem. In fact, we want as many beta testers as possible, so everyone is welcome! We don't keep a list of beta testers though, so all you have to do is to download AROS, test whatever you want and send us a report.

What is the relation between AROS and UAE?
UAE is an Amiga emulator, and as such has somewhat different goals than AROS. UAE wants to be binary compatible even for games and hardware hitting code, while AROS wants to have native applications. Therefore AROS is much faster than UAE, but you can run more software under UAE.

We are in loose contact with the author of UAE and there is a good chance that code for UAE will appear in AROS and vice versa. For example, the UAE developers are interested in the source for the OS because UAE could run some applications much faster if some or all OS functions could be replaced with native code. On the other hand, AROS could benefit from having an integrated Amiga emulation.

Since most programs won't be available on AROS from the start, Fabio Alemagna has ported UAE to AROS so you can run old programs at least in an emulation box.

What is the relation between AROS and Haage & Partner?
Haage & Partner used parts of AROS in AmigaOS 3.5 and 3.9, for example the colorwheel and gradientslider gadgets and the SetENV command. This means that in a way, AROS has become part of the official AmigaOS. This does not imply that there is any formal relation between AROS and Haage & Partner. AROS is an open source project, and anyone can use our code in their own projects provided they follow the license.

What is the relation between AROS and MorphOS?
The relationship between AROS and MorphOS is basically the same as between AROS and Haage & Partner. MorphOS uses parts of AROS to speed up their development effort; under the terms of our license. As with Haage & Partner, this is good for both the teams, since the MorphOS team gets a boost to their development from AROS and AROS gets good improvements to our source code from the MorphOS team. There is no formal relation between AROS and MorphOS; this is simply how open source development works.

What programming languages are available?
Most development for AROS is done using ANSI C by crosscompiling the sources under a different OS, e.g. Linux, FreeBSD or NetBSD.

 * C/C++ via native included gcc/g++ (initially by Fabia Alemagna) or Murks! IDE or crosscompilig under a different OS (Linux, Windows)
 * Python is a scripting language which has become quite popular, because of its nice design and features (object-oriented programming, module system, many useful modules included, clean syntax, ...).
 * Regina is a portable ANSI compliant REXX interpreter. The goal for the AROS port is to be compatible with the ARexx interpreter for the classic AmigaOS.
 * False can be classified as an exotic language, so it will most likely not be used for serious development, although it can be lots of fun. :-)
 * Lua
 * PortablE is a open source implementation of Amiga E, written from scratch in E and able to self-compile. Can be found at http://cshandley.co.uk/portable
 * Ruby
 * Basic4SDL (b4sdl)

see AROS Developer Docs for more

Why is there no m68k emulator in AROS?
To make old Amiga programs run on AROS, we have ported UAE to AROS. AROS' version of UAE will probably be a bit faster than other versions UAE since AROS needs less resources than other operating systems (which means UAE will get more CPU time), and we'll try to patch the kickstart ROM in UAE to call AROS functions which will give another small improvement. Of course, this only applies to the native flavors of AROS and not the hosted flavors.

But why don't we simply implement a virtual m68k CPU to run software directly on AROS? Well, the problem here is that m68k software expects the data to be in big endian format while AROS also runs on little endian CPUs. The problem here is that the little endian routines in the AROS core would have to work with the big endian data in the emulation. Automatic conversion seems to be impossible (just an example: there is a field in a structure in the AmigaOS which sometimes contains one ULONG and sometimes two WORDs) because we cannot tell how a couple of bytes in RAM are encoded.

What is Zune?
In case you read on this site about Zune, it's simply an open-source reimplementation of MUI, which is a powerful (as in user- and developer-friendly) object-oriented shareware GUI toolkit and de-facto standard on AmigaOS. Zune is the preferred GUI toolkit to develop native AROS applications. As for the name itself, it means nothing, but sounds good. Zune is also a handheld MP3-player / multimedia hardware product from Microsoft, but is in no way related to AROS' Zune.

GCSE Science/Electricity multiple choice practice question 1

A kettle is fitted with a 13A fuse which one of the following statements is correct.

 * The fuse's main purpose is to protect a person should the live wire touch the metal case
 * The current in the live wire is kept at 13A by the fuse
 * The fuse is a special sort of resistor. It keeps the current below 13A by resisting any extra current
 * If the current goes above 13A the fuse will melt, and so break the circuit

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ayn Rand/Archive 1

Ayn Rand
I feel that this article is worthy of being a featured article due to the accurate information about Miss Rand in the article and also due to Ayn Rand's important influence on Philosophy, the Libertarian Movement, and her general impact on American Literature in general. The only flaw that I can see is the minor controversy in the article (mostly a debate in the talk page) about Ayn Rand's stance on homosexuality but I believe that the issue has already been rectified. The Fading Light 9:08 20, March 2006

 * Object, needs proper footnoting. I also noticed the use of some questionable sources, such as a php forum for the homosexuality section.--Fallout boy 03:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

"Object—needs a good copy-edit. Take the lead, for example:

 * "... was best known for her philosophy of Objectivism and her novels We the Living, Anthem, The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged. Her philosophy and her fiction both emphasize, above all, the concepts of individualism, rational egoism ("rational self-interest"), and capitalism, which she believed should be implemented fully via Laissez-faire capitalism. Her politics have been described as minarchism and libertarianism, though she never used the first term and detested the second.

 * Her novels were based up on the projection of the Randian hero, a man whose ability and independence causes conflict with the masses, but who perseveres nevertheless to achieve his values. Rand viewed this hero as the ideal, and the express goal of her fiction was to showcase such heroes.

 * She believed: That man must choose his values and actions by reason; that the individual has a right to exist for his own sake, neither sacrificing self to others nor others to self; and that no one has the right to seek values from others by physical force, or impose ideas on others by physical force."

1. Too choppy—why the one-sentence paragraphs?

2. Can you provide piped links for "Objectivism" and "Laissez-faire", without the upper-case letters?

3. "described as "minarchism and libertarianism"—adjectives needed here, not nouns; otherwise reword—perhaps "described as exemplifying ...".

4. "to achieve his values"—no, he has his values to begin with; he perseveres to implement them, surely.

5. The last parasentence is listy and awkward, especially the upper-case T. "She held three basic beliefs: that people must choose their ...". Or do you want to reduplicate her sexism? Tony 07:46, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Object inline citations, awkward subsections, also inadequate treatment of her legacy (institutions, journals); needs broader references.  "described as "minarchism and libertarianism" by whom?  cite.  Kaisershatner 21:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Object for lack of inline citations (see WP:FOOTNOTE) and other objections provided above. "Early life and education" has one huge paragraph that should be split up. Virtually every sentence in that paragraph starts with "she" ("She admired Rostand for ", "She admired Dostoevsky", "She continued to write", "She also encountered"). Thanks, AndyZ 21:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Object - I feel the spam of categories has been done in poor taste, and may be indicative of deeper problems with the editing of the article. -- infinity  0  23:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Object - Still has formatting errors and is poorly laid out - links should be done with Footnotes or something. Other reasons: redlinks and too many external links. Bibliography should probably be more selective. - FrancisTyers 23:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Object Rachel Orange 08:10, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Note:: user's 6's edit, 4 of which were to her user page, and one to the reference desk. The edit after this one was this, basically just vandalism.  She's also stated on User:A Man In Black's talk that she just wants to promote her site (which is what her edits to the reference desk and her user page were for). -- Rory 0 96 08:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Conditional support: I'm actually quite impressed by the overall substantive quality of the article. The writing is somewhat spotty in places and there is a very bad situation with regard to the footnotes (as noted by other commentators here). But if these problems can be addressed, I think this would be one of the most informative, reasonably balanced articles on Rand that I know of anyway. Keep working on it. Suggestion: Maybe a Peer Review might have been helpful first?--Lacatosias 12:31, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
 * P.S. also due to Ayn Rand's important influence on Philosophy and her general impact on American Literature I think most of you know that I obviously don't agree with this. But I do think she was a significant contributor to American politics and that she was an important "character" (for lack of a better word). --Lacatosias 12:36, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Object. Rand has been often accused of being a cult leader, yet nothing is said of this outside of the title of an external link. -- LGagnon 01:22, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

According to, HoJo only played a combined 30 games between Detroit and AAA Evansville. Anyone know if he was injured? All I can determine is he played every other day or so in April and May in Detroit - and that's it.

Victor Martinez Malaga

Víctor Manuel Martínez Málaga (1890–1976) was a Peruvian figurative painter, most well-known for his portraits and Andean landscapes of Southern Peru. He was the director of the Escuela Regional de Bellas Artes "Carlos Bacaflor" in Arequipa, Peru.

Biography
Martínez Málaga was the son of Lucas Manuel Martínez (musician and vihuela teacher) and Natividad Málaga. The early passing of his parents took him to spend part of his childhood with one of his aunts in Mollendo, the main port on the Peruvian southern coast. While in Mollendo, he started to become interested in painting and a more adventurous life which took him to Chile, where he lived for two decades. While abroad, he traveled with several theater companies with whom he traveled through Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Chile. He earned a living as a set designer and illustrator of movie and theater posters.

In 1918, he returned to Arequipa with a theater company and decided to establish himself back in his birth city. From then on, he dedicated himself completely to painting which he learned on his own. In Arequipa, Martínez Málaga became friends with the most prominent local painters and writers. He joined the Centro Artístico and won the most important awards in his field quickly becoming one of the members of Los Independientes, a new movement of independent painters in Peru.

The artist also spent long periods of time living in Cusco, where he established a tight friendship with the renowned Peruvian photographer, Martín Chambi Jiménez. In Cusco, Martínez Málaga also opened his first solo gallery show. He later showed his work in several solo and group exhibits in Arequipa, Puno, Lima, La Paz (Bolivia) among other cities.

In 1933, he became a teacher of fine arts at the Colegio Nacional de la Independencia. In 1951, he became professor and Director at the recently opened Escuela Regional de Bellas Artes de Arequipa until he retired in 1966. Martínez Málaga continued to paint until he died in Arequipa on November 28, 1976.

Works
Between the Peruvian artists of his generation, Martínez Málaga stood out for his portraiture painting. "The human figure", noted the poet César Atahualpa Rodríguez, "has in him one of its most accomplished painters." Along with the portraits he was commissioned to create, Víctor Martínez Málaga created a prolific body of work in which he represented with mastery the farmers and working people from Arequipa and Cusco. His skill in the oil painting technique took him to also represent Costumbrismo scenes, and urban and rural landscapes of the cities where he lived. He was especially interested in his work in the study of the light.

Several of his portraits are part of the collection owned by Galería de la Municipalidad de Arequipa and Banco Wiese, while his Costumbrismo pieces are part of private collections in Arequipa, Lima, Cusco and the United States.

In 2015, el Gobierno Regional de Arequipa and Cuzzi Editores published the book Martínez Málaga in which a vast collection of his paintings and drawings are showcased. The publication was accompanied with a retrospective exhibit at the Biblioteca Regional Mario Vargas Llosa.

Cookbook:Lentils and Rice (Mjeddrah)

| Cuisine of Lebanon | Vegan cuisine

Mjeddrah is a stout lentil and rice stew, a Lebanese staple.

Ingredients

 * ½ cup brown lentils, soaked an hour or more
 * ½ cup onion, sliced
 * A little chopped carrot, celery, etc. (optional)
 * 2 tablespoons olive oil
 * ½ cup long grain brown rice, rinsed
 * 3 cups water
 * ½ teaspoon whole or ground cumin
 * Minced garlic (optional)
 * Dried chile pepper (optional)
 * ½ cinnamon stick (optional)
 * A few cardamom pods (optional)
 * Salt to taste
 * Pepper to taste

Procedure

 * 1) Pick over the lentils to remove any stones.
 * 2) Sauté the onion and any other vegetables in the olive oil for a minute or two.

Joseph P. O. Sullivan House

The Joseph P. O. Sullivan House is a historic house at 142 S. 17th Avenue in Maywood, Illinois. The house was built circa 1895 by the Proviso Land Association for Joseph P. O. Sullivan. The Proviso Land Association was the second land developer to invest in Maywood, after the Maywood Company; most homes built by the Association have been demolished, making the Sullivan House a rare example of their work. Like many of the Association's homes, the Sullivan House has an American Foursquare design. The house has a rectangular two-story layout with a front porch, a projecting bay on one side, a hip roof, and a dormer with a classical Palladian window.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1992.
