North Koreans stranded in Libya after the regime change - How to get them help?
There were a handful of North Korean workers in Libya on some type of labor exchange program. Then when the rebellion rose up to overthrow Gaddafi, the North Korean laborers witnessed dissent.

Fearing that they'd sow the seeds of dissent back home, the North Korean government abandoned their workers there.

Now that they're stranded in Libya, I would be more than happy to get them to seek asylum at the closest US diplomatic mission.

We have a policy to accept North Korean defectors. Now the next step is, how do I contact / find the abandoned North Koreans and get them to seek asylum at one of our embassies? --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:58, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Well, to begin with, how did you find out about these labourers? Snow (talk) 03:09, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I believe the OP is referring to this, which I found on Google.  KägeTorä - (影虎)  ( TALK )  16:14, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * It might be easier to go the other way: contact the embassy and let them know about the abandonded North Koreans, and let them take it from there. RudolfRed (talk) 03:11, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * If the embassy could go on the local news there and tell people the North Koreans will be welcome in the US, and give out the address of the US embassy, I imagine many would find their way there. If you want to spend some money to make this happen, perhaps some ads in the local papers, in Korean, might help.  Of course, verify that this is OK with the US embassy, before telling people to go there.  Also, if South Korea will accept them, many might prefer to go there, especially if they have relatives in SK.  StuRat (talk) 04:19, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * They will probably prefer to go to a country where North Korean is spoken. μηδείς (talk) 01:21, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * You mean the Korean language (shared by NK and SK) ? StuRat (talk) 02:40, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Can't get anything past you, can one? μηδείς (talk) 02:51, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * You might want to use small text and/or a smiley, when making a joke. Otherwise, people might take you seriously. :-) StuRat (talk) 18:47, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Who are you? Do you work for the US embassy in Libya? If not, I don't really see why it has anything to do with you. Just let the US embassy deal with it. I'm sure they know as much as you do about the situation. --Tango (talk) 02:32, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Maybe the OP is Korean? My family did what they could for our relatives behind the Iron Curtain. μηδείς (talk) 02:40, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * They may know about it, and be obligated to help, if the North Koreans show up and ask to defect, but that doesn't mean they will lift a finger to make this all happen. If the North Koreans don't know they would be welcomed there, and have heard anti-US propaganda all their lives, they aren't likely to walk in uninvited. StuRat (talk) 02:43, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I am pretty sure that they will have the common sense to sort themselves out. These are doctors and nurses, as well as construction workers. They are well educated. I am sure they will have the sense to act appropriately.  KägeTorä - (影虎)  ( TALK )  08:31, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Given that the news was broken by a South Korean news agency, it sounds like South Koreans are well aware of the situation and the usual charities and pressure groups would no doubt be trying to get them rescued to South Korea already. It's been about 10 months since that news report, if they are willing to go there they are probably in South Korea already. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 09:32, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Since the U.S. considers North Korea a supporter of terrorism and a nuclear state, I would doubt that the U.S. would grant asylum to North Koreans unless they were trying to defect, which, according to the OP, does not seem to be the case. - Presidentman talk · contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 11:49, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * The worse the nation is, the more likely the US is to grant asylum to those trying to leave it. We don't get a lot of requests for asylum from Canadians ("If you send me back, they'll force me to say OOT !"). StuRat (talk) 01:00, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Historical nominal GDP statistics for various countries before 1960?
Is there any site that gives reliable historical nominal GDP statistics for many countries for periods of time before 1960? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Futurist110 (talk • contribs) 05:56, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * These should get you started: 1, 2, List of regions by past GDP (PPP) Snow (talk) 06:49, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, but I explicitly want nominal (not PPP) GDP data for years before 1960. Futurist110 (talk) 09:34, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * measuring worth? Fifelfoo (talk) 10:05, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

I saw that one before, but it only has 4 countries or so on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Futurist110 (talk • contribs) 10:08, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Various pages linked to on reference number 2 above have this data for different countries/regions. Unfortunately I haven't found any indexes that provide concentrated statistics for the whole world (at least, not indexes of the free variety), but if I turn anything else up, I'll let you know. Snow (talk) 10:09, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Is Fraserburgh the furthest north settlement in the United Kingdom that has over 10,000 residents?
I think it is, but I am not sure. Am I correct?--XKQ7 (talk) 15:01, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, is there a way of getting a chart which tells me which settlements in the United Kingdom exist that have no settlements at a more northerly latitude that have a higher population? For example it would include at least London (nothing bigger further north), Glasgow (nothing bigger further north), Aberdeen, Inverness, Elgin, Fraserburgh, Stornoway, Kirkwall and Lerwick (and probably some other English settlements that I have missed out, as well as some tiny settlements on Shetland).--XKQ7 (talk) 15:07, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * A method of correlating lattitude and population should be a fairly simple job for a database program, but I doubt it is possible here on WP. Roger (talk) 16:28, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It may be worth pointing out to the OP, before embarking on such a task, that Glasgow, Aberdeen, Inverness, Elgin, Fraserburgh, Stornoway, Kirkwall and Lerwick are not 'English settlements' in that they are not in England, but Scotland. Maybe they were in the past, but I doubt anyone considers them so nowadays.  KägeTorä - (影虎)  ( TALK )  17:19, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I think XKQ7 meant "English settlements other than London"—for instance, I don't think there is any UK city north of Birmingham with a greater population. Deor (talk) 19:31, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * To confirm what Deor implied, there is one major gap in XKQ7's list. Our list of largest United Kingdom settlements by population places Birmingham between London (larger, to the south) and Glasgow (smaller, to the north), and the list of urban areas in the United Kingdom (which uses a different definition, of contiguous urban areas) places the West Midlands conurbation in that position.  Whichever you choose depends on your definition of the term "settlement".  Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:56, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * PS: If you rely on the "urban areas", you would interpose the Greater Manchester Urban Area and then the West Yorkshire Urban Area between the West Midlands and Glasgow - increasingly far north (though their areas overlap in latitude), and decreasingly large. Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:41, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The list of towns in the Aberdeenshire article would seem to rule out any there - all the major towns are significantly further south. Moray and Highland (council area) don't have such convenient ordered lists, but the only towns I can see that have articles and come close on both measures are Elgin, Buckie, Thurso, and Wick.  You mentioned Stornoway, Kirkwall, and Lerwick, which all come pretty close to 10 000, and are the largest settlements in the Western Isles, Orkney, and Shetland, respectively.  So I would guess that these are the only contenders - some of them are close enough that I suppose it could come down to where you draw the settlement boundaries, and where you measure the latitude from.  Also, note that most of the population data is still based on the 2001 census, so could be a little out of date. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:29, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Elgin is certainly larger than Fraserburgh, but is also further south. :)  Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:10, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I did say "come close". There only seem to be a couple of miles in it. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:29, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Here are some 2008 figures and it looks to me that Fraserburgh is the right answer. Thincat (talk) 23:42, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

How did Stalin "backstab" Japan?
H. Beam Piper's story "The Mercenaries" (1950) contains this line (explaining why Sugihara is unlikely to be the spy): "... The Japs'll forgive Russia for that Mussolini backstab in 1945 after the Irish start building monuments to Cromwell." Huh? —Tamfang (talk) 21:55, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Declaring war and invading Manchuria 3 days after Hiroshima, perhaps? FlowerpotmaN ·( t ) 22:19, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * That would be my best guess; doing so was a violation of the Soviet–Japanese Neutrality Pact signed just a few years earlier. I'm unsure though, since backstab seems strong wording for something everyone had to see coming.  Japan and Russia (and the U.S.S.R.) have a long history of conflict over territory in northeast Asia so it could refer to any number of events, but the Mussolini reference does seem to imply that it took place in a context around WW2. But seeing as Piper was primarily a sci-fi/alternate history writer, are we sure this event even took place? I'm unfamiliar with "The Mercenaries". Snow (talk) 22:24, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I think everybody saw it coming but the Japanese, where overly optimistic thinking had completely divorced them from reality. StuRat (talk) 22:28, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * "in 1945" also seems to imply a context around WW2. — The Manhattan Project is mentioned in backstory, so it's not alt-hist (as of when it was written!). The "mercenaries" are scientists and technicians working on one of several rival projects to establish a military Moonbase. —Tamfang (talk) 22:36, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I had to check too to see if it was one of his Paratime stories, but nope.... :) Written in 1950, but set in 1965. Haven't had a chance to read it all, but the context seems to suggest the back-stab refers to the breaking of the non-aggression pact as a reason the character wouldn't help the Commies. (It's on gutenberg.org, if anyone wants to have a look; a lot of H. Beam Piper stuff is as copyright wasn't renewed in the 70s) FlowerpotmaN ·( t ) 22:48, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * "'in 1945' also seems to imply a context around WW2." Woops, heheh, quite right. Snow (talk) 23:02, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * The reference to Mussolini is a bit odd, though. I suspect that the author was conflating the Tripartite Pact (Germany, Italy, and Japan) with the Soviet–Japanese Neutrality Pact. StuRat (talk) 22:32, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * It might also be that someone (the author, the editor or someone else) wrote "Mussolini" instead of "Manchuria"... --Martynas Patasius (talk) 22:51, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I think the Mussolini reference is to the fact that Mussolini declared war against France only after Germany had crushed all serious resistance there, and then swept into southern France to pick up as much territory as they could grab. Looie496 (talk) 23:52, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Could be, but that wasn't exactly a "backstab", as France and Italy weren't allies. StuRat (talk) 23:54, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * My recollection is that they did actually have a treaty of neutrality (the Italians were terrified of the French and British fleets), and it was certainly seen at the time as a purely cynical backstab. Looie496 (talk) 23:56, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * But "swept into" isn't quite the right phrase. The French gave them a bloody nose, despite being on the verge of military collapse. They never got past the Alpine Line and their thrust along the coast could only advance 8km. See Italian invasion of France. Alansplodge (talk) 00:35, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. But in any case that article gives the quote that is the key to this question, from Franklin Roosevelt:  "On this tenth day of June 1940, the hand that held the dagger has struck it into the back of its neighbor." Looie496 (talk) 00:46, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Seems like a solid and probably accurate analysis for Piper's phrasing to me. But we're unlikely to know for certain, I suppose. Snow (talk) 02:00, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Syrian Revolution Coordinators Union

The Syrian Revolution Coordinators Union or (SYRCU) (اتحاد تنسيقيات الثورة السورية) is an organization with members from different protest coordination groups from all around Syria. Its members represent their areas and cities for the activities of the Syrian uprising that began in 2011 against the Syrian government. The Syrian Revolution Coordinators Union has been active since the beginning of the revolution in peaceful resistance

The Union includes more than 216 coordination group, local council and group of activists of the protests in Syria. It aims to "end to the ruling of the 40-years-old al-Assad family ruling Syria, particularly after that government started using lethal force against peaceful protest asking for reform and freedom in May 2011 in the southern Syrian city of Daraa". The SRCU aims to "build Syria as country of democracy and rule of law; where civil and human rights are obeyed by citizens and authorities".

Supporting Social Journalism
The Union has helped a number of individual activists and social journalists to relay the news about their areas by providing basic equipment and training.

Projects

 * Syrian FM opposition radio station.
 * The ROP Project (Will be launched soon)

Humanitarian & Medical Work
The Syrian Revolution Coordinators Union has conducted, through its local humanitarian and medical member groups, many humanitarian activities and field hospitals equipment. Particularly since the government's activities has practically disabled the work of any Syrian or foreign NGOs to help injured people and refugees. The SRCU has provided through donors inside and out Syria a number of food boxes, shift clinic equipment and medical supplies to different areas in distress.

Since the beginning of the Syrian uprising against the government, any civilian or protester injured by the regime forces, army or Shabiha militias will have to be treated by volunteer medics or doctors in improvised sites, houses or dedicated shift clinics. Equipping and hiding field treatment locations has been one of the most threatening and resources consuming task during the uprising. The government security forces in a number of occasions used local paid informants to locate and destroy treatment locations equipped by the SRCU.

SYRCU Approach
The Syrian Revolution Coordinators Union (SYRCU) is a civilian, non-for-profit entity that gathers coordinators of anti-government protests from all around Syria. The SYRCU claims it believes in "protests, strikes, social campaigns, civil disobedience and other non-violent tools as the most efficient ones to achieve the goal of the Syrian revolution". The SYRCU also believes that this is the best life-saving approach in the Syrian people struggle to achieve democracy and build Syria as a country for everyone to share, rather than just a single family to control, i.e. Assad Family.

Even though we the SYRCU does not take up arms to for their cause, they still believe in the legitimacy of the fight that defected officers and soldiers, ex-military personnel and other have decided to take. Those people who are now called the Free Syrian Army (FSA) have seen families murdered in cold blood in front in their own eyes and decided that they should defend their neighborhoods, families and property using a lethal forces that is so little compared to that used by the Assad family government.

The SYRCU believes that medical care and humanitarian aid should be provided to any one in need regardless of their belonging. This even applies to arrested soldiers who were just fighting to the Assad government's side. They also believe and approve of the International conventions in this regard, including but not limited to the four Geneva Conventions and the three protocols agreed upon after them.

The SYRCU also believes that the international community, represented by its major entities like the United Nations, the Arab League and others, are and should be always responsible for making everyone who commits crimes against the Syrian people become accounted by the law. They have supported all the plans presented by the international community in such context including the initiative by Kofi Annan that aimed to end the violence and release all prisoners. Considering all the plans that have been presented, the SYRCU has made it clear several times before that it aims for exactly the same points. The SYRCU believe in its rights to keep its social movement and refuse any dialogue with the government before it withdraws the army from the cities, release all political prisoners and activists, confess to the crimes it did and become prepared to hand-over the power in Syria.

The Secret Railroad

The Secret Railroad  or Les Voyages du Tortillard  in French, was a series produced by Societe Radio-Canada of 52 (or possibly 61) animated shorts made in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Episodes last 5 minutes each.

It was originally recorded in English at Place D'Youville in Montreal then subsequently dubbed into French. It was produced by Peter Saunders and Danielle Marleau under the production company Films du Train Secret, and the participation of Les Société Radio-Canada and  the Société de Développement de l'Industrie Cinématographique Canadienne. .

It also aired in the United States on The Great Space Coaster in the early 1980s.

Simon
(Voiced by Douglas Heintzman ) The main character is a young boy named Simon who discovers a magical steam locomotive hidden in the basement of his apartment building. Acting as the engineer Simon uses the locomotive to travel on many magical adventures.

Mr. George T. Passenger
(Voiced by Neil Shee ) Joining Simon every episode is Mr. Passenger (Monsieur Globetrotteur in French), an old man who awaited the coming of the train for many a decade before Simon finally arrived.

Mélanie
With Mr. Passenger is Mélanie (Melanie), Mr. Passenger's cat who always rides atop his long stove pipe hat.

Stella
Each episode also features a character named Stella, a girl with star shaped hair. Stella's character changes from episode to episode (a mermaid in an underwater episode for example) but she always has her star shaped hair.

Theme song lyrics
When you are feeling blue,

When you are feeling down.

Just do what Simon did;

Go underground.

Down there in the dark,

You hear a happy sound.

It's the secret railroad.

Adventure bound!

You better climb on board

the train's about to leave.

All you need is a passenger.

Your tickets, please!

I have merged the list into the main article of regional councils in Israel as neither article is large enough to warrent being independent plus there arent seperate articles for lists of cities or local councils. Flymeoutofhere (talk) 18:24, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I demerged. Please invite discussion next time. Justifications given not WP consensus. Lists are legitimate articles. --Shuki (talk) 23:07, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikiversity talk:Templates

Discuss Templates here.

Template:Policy
There really is no problem with Template:Policy. It was just chosen as a sort of prime example. CQ 21:41, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Getting Started
Morley brings up some good points: (That's from my user talk page)
 * 1) There are several places within the Newcomers page to direct new contributors on how to get started. I'd like make the Templates page a comprehensive starting off point for page creation. That's what a template is, after all.
 * 2) Start by identifying what a template is within this environment.
 * 3) Proceed to a mini-tutorial in using a sample template to deploy a new page. Include step-by-step very-detailed can't-fail instructions.
 * 4) Introduce the Index of available templates.
 * 5) Don't know whether it's possible yet, now show how to switch the new page created above from the sample template to one of the user's choosing. In other words, help the new contributor to be immediately productive.
 * 6) Go on to provide links on how to create new pages, edit pages, Wiki, etc. (A thorough list of relevant links).
 * 7) Again, don't know whether this is possible, but show how to turn an existing page into a template.
 * 8) Other points on perfecting and editing templates.

I'm fairly new to templates other than the basic types (discussed on Wiki 101), myself, so I think it's good to set up this project from a Newcomer perspective. It might as well tie in closely with the MediaWiki Project as the mother project, since we're going to have to get into the nuts and bolts of MediaWiki to get the most from templates.

One important concept to touch on at the outset is distinguishing a page template from a template used to tranclude a small content element like a navbox or infobox. In the Getting Started section, I refer the reader to m:Help:Template at Meta. I don't see any use in duplicating that material here just yet. If we get some more participants showing interest, we might create a subpage, Topic:MediaWiki/Templates for Topic:MediaWiki in the future. For now I think we might work on Welcome. Thanks again for the input, Morley • CQ 19:52, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Are you/Morley simply referring to the boilerplate templates, eg Template:Learning project boilerplate? I think these can be helpful - but I would also like to encourage people to think independently and creatively about adding their own content. This should really be a wider-ranging tutorial, rather than just a step-by-step guide to modifying an existing boilerplate into your own page of interest (though we should have that too). As part of the bigger picture, I think we need to start at Adding content, backed up with our "wikis for beginners" pages (like Introduction), followed up by more on good learning materials, as well as collaborative learning projects. But perhaps I'm misinterpreting the proposal here.. Cormaggio 23:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Charley expounds: Looks like we need to expand and organize the master Category:Templates and some template classes (as in Subcategories) and template classes (as in learning projects).

 * This group might focus on an exploration of templates in the widest possible context, applied to Wikiversity real-life Technical needs ranging from content object templates —

 * Category:Award templates - Barnstars and such
 * Category:Dynamic templates - like NowPlaying (on the Wikiversity podcasting station)
 * Category:Userbox templates - your basic Babelbox
 * Category:Navigation templates - immediate need for these
 * 1) ...other small reuseable template categories (classes need to be addressed as div and table attributes like class=messagebox, class=infobox, etc.)...

 * to page templates —

 * Category:Boilerplates - uniform look and feel for Schools, departments, etc.
 * Category:Wikiversity policy - uniform look and feel for semi-protected pages
 * Category:Wikiversity translators - uniform look and feel for translator pages containing the same text in two or more languages for side-by-side comparison
 * 1) ...stuff like that

 * As an extention of the MediaWiki Project, this subproject can help get us into the How it works and What we can do with it departments. Automated jobbies like this application of Mirwin's five day timer:

Countdown code: Countdown
 * ... can be a boon to learning to hack MediaWiki from the application layer using goodies like Variables. We could also do things like figure out how to implement user authentication variables to facilitate quizzes, tests, workbooks, surveys, and other multi-part pages that offer both static elements (like test or survey questions) and varible elements (like each participant's answers and responses). Lot's of fun, interesting, useful things to learn by doing.

 * Is that a clear explanation? I'm not good at explaining myself. Can you help me? CQ 00:15, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If anyone cases, I've got some other stuff like that on Test and Quiz--Rayc 01:03, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Bilingual comparative texts
A Page template for bilingual comparative texts would be a handy tool for the Translation department.

Design considerations
Quinobi thinks the WV:BCT pages can be queued and archived via Learning projects conducted by the various language departments. CQ 17:59, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Basic talk page template
There is some discussion about btp, a basic talk page template to put on blank talk pages. One question is that a red link may be more useful as an indication that no discussion has been started on a resource, category, topic, etc. Placing a template on the page makes a blue link that may or may not be desirable, especially for users with poor connections and limited time. Please have a look at the suggested revision and share your thoughts here. Thanks. • CQ 15:51, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Inline templates
Does Wikiversity have inline templates for editorial use? I want something like the "discuss" template on Wikipedia. --Una Smith 16:59, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

The result was keep. Seems to be consensus that the subject meets WP:GNG. ansh 666 05:15, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Bridgette Andersen

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not appear to meet general notability; was nominated for awards but did not actually win any. Just one reliable source that only includes a passing mention. That sole source indicates she was 17 when she died which is different from age 21 years given in the article. Please see article talk page for further discussion.

 * Comment partially copied from article talk page to keep conversation in one place There is currently one reference to the Colorado Springs Independent, which probably counts as a reliable source. It is, however, a mere parenthetical sentence fragment that reads: "a year older than Savannah Smiles star Bridgette Andersen, who overdosed on heroin in 1997".   Most searches turn up general celebrity sites like IMDB and Find-a-Grave and the like.  There are also some biographies on sites of questionable RS status, including Movie Pilot and Daily Hatch. Her WP:GNG notability is questionable. A claim of "...her internet cult following" is not supported by these searches, although it would be a qualifying claim under WP:NACTOR#2.  If there is a cult following, then it should be kept and evidence should be added to the article.  Otherwise, it should be deleted. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:19, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I did a newspaper search and found two three newspaper articles that discuss the subject in-depth. One from 1982 1 and another from 1983 (don't have access to newspapers.com to clip it though) 2. (edit to add a third newspaper article found from 1984 from newspapers.com) 3. A few more passing mentions in newspapers. 45 While the subject didn't have a long career, she did receive more than average attention from the press during her career, along with the passing mentions regarding her sad early demise and meets the GNG in my view.

 * Comment IMDb is not considered to be a reliable source. Dan arndt (talk) 09:13, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Child actress has starred in 21 films. Also, please note that there is some coverage of the subject in Spanish. Subject has often been mentioned in books related to child actor deaths, and there was this controversy of her death being a suicide. Other than that, no notability.

 * Comment As noted, she died before the internet got into full swing which makes it hard to find out about her award-nominated notability in the dead tree era. Paul Benjamin Austin (talk) 02:45, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - With her roles in Savannah Smiles and Fever Pitch, she clearly passes WP:GNG, and her role in Nightmares might also be significant, although I wouldn't base my vote on that, being more problematic. The sourcing isn't as good as it could be, but I think it squeaks by WP:GNG. Throw in her roles in Parent Trap II and A Summer to Remember, and I think its pretty much a slam dunk to keep.

As of the 2018–19 school year, the district, comprising 10 schools, had an enrollment of 6,304 students and 500.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.6:1.

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "I", the second-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.

Awards and recognition
Theodore Roosevelt Intermediate School was awarded the National Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education, the highest award an American school can receive, during the 2004-05 school year. Washington Elementary School was honored by the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program in 2019, one of nine schools in the state recognized as Exemplary High Performing Schools.

For the 1994-95 school year, Westfield High School was named as a "Star School" by the New Jersey Department of Education, the highest honor that a New Jersey school can achieve.

Schools
The district has a central kindergarten, six neighborhood elementary schools (grades 1-5), two middle schools (grades 6-8) divided by a "North Side / South Side" boundary, and one high school (grades 9-12). The schools in the district (with 2018–19 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics ) are:
 * Early childhood

Press
Westfield High School publishes a weekly student newspaper during the school year called Hi's Eye. Established in 1935, the paper publishes 33 issues per year with a monthly Arts and Entertainment insert called Iris. The Hi's Eye is unique among many student run newspapers in that it is weekly and completely self-funded. The motto for the Hi's Eye is "For the students, by the students, since 1935."

The middle schools and elementary schools also publish a brief newspaper written by their students, for their students. Theodore Roosevelt Intermediate School publishes an issue of The Rough Rider 12 times a year. Thomas Alva Edison Intermediate School publishes The Edison Insider a few times a year. Woodrow Wilson Elementary School publishes an issue of The Wilson World twice a year.

Administration
Core members of the district's administration are:
 * Raymond A. González, superintendent
 * Patty Ramos, business administrator and board secretary

Board of education
The district's board of education, composed of nine members, sets policy and oversees the fiscal and educational operation of the district through its administration. As a Type II school district, the board's trustees are elected directly by voters to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with three seats up for election each year held (since 2012) as part of the November general election. The board appoints a superintendent to oversee the district's day-to-day operations and a business administrator to supervise the business functions of the district.

Social work

Social workers are concerned with social problems, their causes, their solutions and their human impacts. Social workers work with individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities, as members of a profession which is committed to social justice and human rights.

The Social Work Profession
Social work is a human service profession that emerged early in the twentieth century. Today the profession of social work covers a wide variety of social and human service related fields. The primary connection between various forms of social work are the social work code of ethics. This code of ethics seeks to improve human and social conditions and alleviate human distress, suffering, and social problems. Social work is a caring profession that is both client-centered and grounded in sociological, psychological, and ecological approaches to social problems. Social Work seeks to mediate problems between individuals and their environment.

The Goals of Social Work
Social work seeks to enhance social functioning of individuals, groups, families, organizations, communities,and nations.

Social work as a profession focuses on improving service delivery through networking and resource developement. Clinical social workers provide therapeutic and psychiatric services, as well as linkages to resources that bridge the gap between success and failure of clients.

Social workers promote social and economic justice through development of social policy and programs.

Social Work seeks to satisfy basic human needs that are necessary for human physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, social, and identity growth.

The Definition of Social Work Practice
From Working Definition of Social Work Practice (1958) National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Commission on Practice:

''"The social work method is the responsible, conscious, disciplined use of self in relationship with an individual or group. Through this relationship the practitioner facilitates interaction between the individual and his social environment with a continuing awareness of the reciprocal effects of one upon the other. It facilitates change: (1) within the individual in relation to his social environment; (2) of the social environment in its effect upon the individual; (3) of both the individual and social environment in their interaction." (p. 7) ''

Basic Theoretical Approaches

Empowerment Model - the "Process of increasing personal, interpersonal, and political power so that individuals, families, and communities can take action to improve their situations." (Gutierrez 1994 p. 209)

Strength Based Perspective - Social Work seeks to focus on individual, family, and community strengths and competency. This is in contrast to other professions which focus on deficits or maladaptive functioning (pathology). Focusing on strengths gives people the power to build on what resources they already posses, what skills and competencies they have already mastered to overcome the obstacles they are faced with. (Saleebey, 1992)

Working Collaboratively - Collaborative work requires Social Work to recognize that each client is the expert in their own life. That clients have the most knowlege as to what their needs are, and what resources they need to access. Collaborative work ensures that clients are invested in the outcomes of interventions, by giving them joint responsibility and recognizing their abilities and potential to succeed.

Client Centered Approach -  Client Center approach seeks to focus on the needs of clients and to let their needs and abilities guide social work practice. Client centered approach ensures that interventions are collaborative and individualized. Client Centered Approach seeks to empower the individual to direct the invervention and assess what resources they need.

Person-In-Environment - Social Work seeks to recognize both the client (person), their environment, and the interaction between them. Coined by Florence Hollis (1964) Person-In-Environment (PIE) or "the person-in-the situation" stresses a person's physical, social, and psychological realities as well as the social realities that both define and limit that person. Social Workers seek to examine both the personal, and the social aspects of all 'Problems' be they social problems, or personal ones. Most intervention happens at the individual level, while system approaches to problem solving seek mainly to improve individual functioning.

 EcoSystems Approach - Similar to Person-in Environment Ecosystems approach seeks to intervene at a level of systems. Developed in the 1970's and 1980's Ecosystems approach seeks to identify and improve ecological conditions. This approach was developed by Meyer, Germain and Gitterman, and Maluccio.

Meyer (1988): The paradigm on ecosystems "considers environmental variables as interrelated and reciprocal with the person variables, and therefore environmental intervention must be included among the treatments of choice." (p.287)

Germain (1979): "In an ecological view, [social work]practice is directed at improving transactions beweeen people and environments in order to enhance adaptive capacities and improve environments for all who function within them" (pp. 7-8)

Automatic Kafka

Automatic Kafka is a nine-issue comic book limited series written by Joe Casey with art by Ashley Wood. It was published in 2002 by DC Comics' Wildstorm imprint.

The series followed the life of Automatic Kafka, an android who had been a member of a mass-marketed superhero group called the $tranger$ during the 1980s. After the team breaks up, Kafka is lost, looking for a new direction in life. The comic follows Kafka as he tries different ways of becoming human: drugs, sex and fame among them. The series also visits Kafka's former teammates who each have adapted to their life post-$tranger$ in their own way.

Plot
The series begins with Automatic Kafka's first nanotecheroin trip. As Kafka ponders where his life has gone since the $tranger$ disbanded, The Warning is approached by the National Park Service who want to use Automatic Kafka for clandestine missions. Kafka avoids being trapped into service with the NPS by doing celebrity product endorsements and later hosting a lethal gameshow called The Million Dollar Detail.

After an issue focusing on a side character, the series moves to The Constitution of the United States, who leads a group of mercenaries in an attack on a jungle camp. As he finishes, a mysterious flight of military planes bombs the camp with exploding babies. He then returns to the United States, where he embarks on a career as a porn star.

Meanwhile, Kafka and Helen of Troy are enjoying a tryst when The Warning summons them to a social call with an old arch-enemy, Galaxia. Helen and Kafka both balk at the reunion, but eventually warm to the experience. Shortly thereafter, The Warning tricks Galaxia and kills him to power a machine that manufactures the mysterious exploding babies.

As Kafka wrestles with the suicide note left by his drug-dealer/assistant, a phantom butterfly arrives to "rescue" him "from the possible tedium of another so-called 'story arc'." The butterfly takes him to a comic shop, where he meets Joe Casey and Ashley Wood. The authors explain to Kafka that "You've been operating under different rules than most superheroes. You're part of an ongoing marketing experiment.  Kids aren't flocking to superheroes like the used to, so now we've got superheroes for adults." Because they do not want to share their creation with other writers and artists, Casey and Wood erase Kafka as the last issue ends.

Characters

 * Automatic Kafka: "Morphing Mecha-Soldier", a nanotecheroin-addicted android capable of morphing his body into nearly any shape, usually guns. Formerly a member of the $tranger$, AK becomes a public celebrity to avoid, in part, having to work for the clandestine arm of the National Park Service.
 * The Warning: A wealthy government contractor who founded the $tranger$. He has nefarious connections to the National Park Service and is working on a secret project involving exploding babies (the baby plot was not resolved before the comic ended).
 * The Constitution of the United States: "Patriotic Combat Legend," an ultra-violent, hyper-sexual patriotic warrior with red, white, and blue tattoos and a gas mask. The Constitution appears to work for a covert branch of the U.S. military.
 * Helen of Troy: "Feminine Powers of Mystery", an extremely sexualized woman whose erotic charms are her superpower. Casey and Wood imply, in issue 9, that her powers are magical.
 * Saint Nick: "Brooding Anti-Hero." The one member of the $tranger$ who was not featured in any issues of the comic.  Mentioned briefly only in issues 2 and 9.

Welcome to My World (Mya song)

"Welcome to My World" is a song recorded by American singer Mya taken from her seventh studio album Smoove Jones (2016). It was written by Damar Beckett, Fred Jenkins, Mýa and Terence "Delivery Boy" Odige, while production was helmed by the latter Terence "Delivery Boy" Odige, Dejan Howerton and Michael Williams. An ode to '90s R&B with live instrumentation, "Welcome to My World" was chosen as the lead single from her then unknown project Smoove Jones and released October 10, 2015 (coincide with Mya's birthday). Upon release, it received favorable reception from music critics, with critics highlighting the track as a standout.

Background and recording
"Welcome to My World" was written by Damar Beckett, Fred Jenkins, Mýa and Terence "Delivery Boy" Odige, with production handled by the latter Terence Odige, Dejan Howerton and Michael Williams. Speaking with SOHH, Mýa explained how the song was created. In 2014, Harrison began working with several people from Los Angeles and was immediately introduced to New Jersey native production duo The HitList. Subsequently, the trio began working on music together and one of the first of many tracks Harrison recorded with them was "Welcome To My World".

Release
In late September 2015, Mýa previewed "Welcome To My World" on her official Instagram account as the first single from then unknown project Smoove Jones. It was officially released on October 10, 2015.

Critical reception
In reviewing Smoove Jones, "Welcome To My World" received "favorable" reviews. Ryan B. Patrick of Exclaim!, highlighted "Welcome To My World" as one of stand out tracks, opining the song "recall late-'90s/early '00s R&B". While, United Kingdom's Gay Times, commented, "Welcome To My World is a shimmery cut that sets up a strong opening section full of potential singles."

H-2A visa

An H-2A visa allows a foreign national worker into the United States for temporary agricultural work. There are several requirements of the employer in regard to this visa. The H-2A temporary agricultural program establishes a means for agricultural employers who anticipate a shortage of domestic workers to bring non-immigrant foreign workers to the U.S. to perform agricultural labor or services of a temporary or seasonal nature. In 2015 there were approximately 140,000 total temporary agricultural workers under this visa program. Terms of work can be as short as a month or two or as long as 10 months in most cases, although there are some special procedures that allow workers to stay longer than 10 months. All of these workers are covered by U.S. wage laws, workers' compensation and other standards; additionally, temporary workers and their employers are subject to the employer and/or individual mandates under the Affordable Care Act. Because of concern that guest workers might be unfairly exploited, the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division is especially vigilant in auditing and inspecting H-2A employers. H-2A employers are the only group of employers who are required to pay inbound and outbound transportation, free housing, and provide meals for their workers. H-2A agricultural employers are among the most heavily regulated and monitored employers in the United States. Unlike other guest worker programs, there is no cap on the number of H-2A visas allocated each year.

Wages
The wage or rate of pay must be the same for U.S. workers and H-2A workers. The hourly rate must be at least as high as the applicable Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR), federal or state minimum wage, or the applicable prevailing hourly wage rate, whichever is higher. The AEWR is established every year by the Department of Labor for every state except Alaska.

If a worker will be paid on a piece rate basis, the worker must be paid the prevailing piece rate as determined by the State Workers Agency (SWA). If the piece rate does not result in average hourly piece rate earnings during the pay period at least equal to the amount the worker would have earned had the worker been paid at the hourly rate, then the worker's pay must be supplemented to the equivalent hourly level. The piece rate offered must be no less than what is prevailing in the area for the same crop and/or activity.

Hiring
Hiring means an active effort, including newspaper and radio advertising in areas of expected labor supply. Such recruitment must be at least equivalent to that conducted by non-H-2A agricultural employers in the same or similar crops and area to secure U.S. workers. This must be an effort independent of and in addition to the efforts of the SWA for at least 15 days. In establishing worker qualifications and/or job specifications, the employer must designate only those qualifications and specifications which are essential to carrying out the job and which are normally required by other employers who do not hire foreign workers.

Housing and meals
The employer must provide free housing to all workers who are not reasonably able to return to their homes or residences the same day. Such housing must be inspected and approved according to appropriate standards. The housing provided by the employer must meet all of the Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards that were set forth at CFR 1910.142 or the full set of standards at 654.404-645.417.

An alternative form of housing is rental housing, which has to meet local or state health and safety standards. In North Carolina, the current state standards include no provision for doors and windows, 75 ft3 per person or 27 people per refrigerator, one wash tub per 30 people with hot and cold water, facilities for drying clothes; there are no sanitary requirements for mattresses provided, 1 toilet/15 people or 1 urinal/25 men, and 1 shower per 10 people with no privacy stalls.

The employer must either provide three meals a day to each of the workers or furnish free and convenient cooking and kitchen for workers to prepare and cook their own meals. If the employer provides the meals, then the employer has the right to charge each worker a certain amount per day for the three meals.

Transportation and tools
There are several provisions on the transportation of workers. The amount of transportation payment shall be no less (and shall not be required to be more) than the most economical and reasonably similar to the transportation charges for the distances involved. The employer is responsible for several forms of transportation depending on the situation. After the worker completes at least half of the work contract period, the employer must reimburse the worker for the costs of transportation and subsistence from the place of recruitment to the place of work if these expenses were charged to the worker. The employer must provide free transportation to the worker between the employer's housing and the area of work. And upon completion of the work contract, the employer must pay the costs of a worker's subsistence and transportation back to the place of recruitment. Some special conditions apply when the worker does not return to the area of recruitment because they are moving to another job. If the employer compensates foreign workers for transportation costs then they must do so for U.S. workers as well. If the employer provides transportation for foreign workers, they must provide transportation to US workers as well.

The employer must cover the cost of tools and supplies necessary to carry out the work at no cost to the worker, unless this is uncommon and the occupation calls for the worker to provide certain items.

Application process
The process in order for a worker to be able to start in H-2A status involves a job order from a State Workforce Agency, a Temporary Labor Certification from the U.S. Department of Labor Employment & Training Administration's Office of Foreign Labor Certification, a Form I-129 approval from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (a branch of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security), a visa from a consular officer representing the U.S. Department of State, and a Form I-94 issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection at a port of entry.

Job order (ETA Form 790)
A job offer (ETA Form 790) must be filed with the State Workforce Agency (SWA) in the area of intended employment between 60 and 75 days before the date of need for workers. Each State Workforce Agency has a mailing address and some have websites, contact email addresses, and phone numbers. The State Workforce Agency is also responsible for handling job orders for the H-2B visa, but the specific contact person or mailing address may differ. The job orders are publicly listed by the State Workforce Agency (including on their website). Additionally, the employer must advertise for the position in local newspapers. Any United States citizen who applies for the job must be given one.

H-2A Temporary Labor Certification from the U.S. Department of Labor
The employer needs to obtain a Temporary Labor Certification (TLC) from the United States Department of Labor Employment & Training Administration's Office of Foreign Labor Certification. Note that this labor certification should not be confused with PERM labor certification for employment-based permanent immigration, or with the Labor Condition Application for H-1B and similar statuses. It is also separate from a similar process for H-2B temporary labor certification.

The application package must include ETA Form 9142A and an accepted Job Order (ETA Form 790) from the State Workforce Agency. It must be filed with the Chicago National Processing Center or online through the iCert portal, no less than 45 days prior to the employer's date of need.

In order to approve the certification, the Department must verify that:

 * 1) there are not sufficient able, willing, and qualified U.S. workers available to perform the temporary and seasonal agricultural employment for which nonimmigrant foreign workers are being requested; and
 * 2) employment of H-2A workers will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers. The statute and Departmental regulations provide numerous worker protections and employer requirements with respect to wages and working conditions. The Department's Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has responsibility for enforcing provisions of worker contracts.

Form I-129 petition submitted to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
The employer must submit a Form I-129 (Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker) on behalf of the prospective worker (beneficiary) with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, with the job order (ETA Form 790) and the approved H-2A Temporary Labor Certification as initial evidence. Note that Form I-129 is used for a large number of nonimmigrant worker statuses, not just the H-2A. Those using it for the H-2A status need to fill the main form followed by the H classification supplement, Pages 13–17.

The H-2A status is one of the statuses where it is possible for a single Form I-129 to be used for multiple beneficiaries. Additional beneficiaries may be listed on Attachment 1 (Pages 35–36) of Form I-129. However, all beneficiaries listed in a single petition must have the same requested start and end date, and they are all approved together. In case different start dates are needed for different beneficiaries, or one of them has a more complicated situation (so that beneficiary's petition may be delayed) employers are advised to file separate I-129s for such employees.

The filing fee for Form I-129 is $460. Forms are automatically expedited given the seasonal and time-sensitive nature of agricultural work, but it is also possible to request Premium Processing Service for $1225 to get an initial response within 15 calendar days.

In general, Form I-129 petitions can be submitted six months in advance of the job start date. However, since the petition's initial evidence includes a job order, that must be filed between 60 and 75 days before the start date, the application can effectively be submitted at most 75 days prior to the start date.

Eligible Countries List
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services is given an Eligible Countries List for H-2 visas (with slight differences between the H-2A and H-2B) and generally approves petitions only if the beneficiary is from a country on the list. Updates to the Eligible Countries List are published in the Federal Register. Effective January 18, 2016 the Eligible Countries List contains 84 countries, and the full list can be found on the USCIS website. The list has expanded since it originally started: 16 new countries having been added as recently as November 2015.

According to official regulations, a national from a country not on the list may only be the beneficiary of an approved H-2A petition if the Secretary of Homeland Security determines that it is in the U.S. interest for him or her to be the beneficiary of such a petition.

A country may be added to the list based on a recommendation from the U.S. Department of State, the country's government, an employer that would like to hire nationals of the country in H-2A status, or any other interested party or parties. When designating countries to include on the list, the Secretary of Homeland Security, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, will take into account factors including, but not limited to:

 * 1) The country's cooperation with issuing travel documents for citizens, subjects, nationals and residents of that country who are subject to a final order of removal;
 * 2) The number of final and unexecuted (meaning completed but not yet carried out) orders of removal against citizens, subjects, nationals and residents of that country;
 * 3) The number of orders of removal executed against citizens, subjects, nationals and residents of that country; and
 * 4) Other factors as may serve the U.S. interest.

Visa application
If the beneficiary is already in the United States in a valid status and with no requirement to leave the United States, the beneficiary can simply transition to H-2A status. If the beneficiary is outside the United States, two additional steps are needed:

 * The beneficiary must apply for a H-2A visa to a United States consulate in his or her home country with the approved Form I-129 petition, ETA Form 790, approved Temporary Labor Certification, and other necessary documents. The visa decision is made by a consular officer representing the U.S. Department of State.
 * Armed with the H-2A visa and other documents, the beneficiary may present himself or herself at a port of entry, where an officer working for U.S. Customs and Border Protection issues the beneficiary a Form I-94 for H-2A status.

Basic rules
Below are the basic rules governing the H-2A status:

 * Each Form I-129 petition for initial employment or extension of employment can be for a duration of at most one year.
 * After the worker has completed three years in H-2A status, the worker must leave the United States for at least three months before being able to return in H-2A status. In fact, the rules count continuous stay across all H statuses for the purpose of counting the three years.

Calculation of interrupted stay
For workers who leave the United States temporarily, the following rules apply with respect to excluding time outside the United States:

 * If the worker was in the United States for 18 months or less, then H-2 time is interrupted if the worker is outside the United States for at least 45 days but less than 3 months. This means that time spent outside the United States will not count toward the 3-year limit, but rather, upon return, the worker's clock will resume from where it left off at the time of departure.
 * If the worker has been in the United States for somewhere between 18 months and 3 years, the worker's H-2 time is interrupted if the worker is outside the United States for at least 2 months but less than 3 months.

Note that the time needed outside the United States in order to qualify for an interrupted stay exceeds the maximum time permissible for automatic visa revalidation, which is 30 days.

If the worker is outside the United States for 3 months or more, the worker's clock is completely reset, and whenever the worker next returns on a H-2 visa, the worker's time in the United States starts from zero.

Introduction in 1986
The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 introduced a temporary unskilled worker category, the H-2 category. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 subdivided this category into two subcategories: the H-2A (an uncapped category for temporary agricultural workers) and H-2B (a capped category for temporary workers in other domains). The particular importance given to temporary agricultural workers was intended to balance the potential decline in the illegal immigrant population due to the increased border security and immigration enforcement provisions of the Act.

Introduction of Premium Processing Service in 2001
On June 1, 2001, the Premium Processing Service was introduced at a price of $1000, available for Form I-129 petitions for most statuses, including the H-2A status. In November 2010, the Premium Processing Service fee was hiked from $1000 to $1225 as part of a general change to the fee schedule for USCIS forms.

Changes to the Eligible Countries List
The Eligible Countries List for the H-2A was created through a rule published by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on December 18, 2008 and effective January 17, 2009. The list has grown gradually from 28 countries in the beginning to 84 countries as of 2016. Summarized below are the dates of various Federal Register announcements on updates to the list, with the total number of countries, number of new countries added, and the names of the new countries added. The dates listed below are the announcement dates. The date that the list becomes effective may be a little after the announcement date. Generally, updated lists become effective starting around January 17 or January 18 of the year.

Visa approvals by fiscal year and country
Note that the count below is of the number of visas issued by a United States consular officer. The years here are Fiscal Years, so for instance the year 2004 refers to the period from October 1, 2003 to September 30, 2004. These should approximately match but may not exactly match with the number of Form I-129 approvals of H-2A status by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, or the actual number of workers who arrive in the United States in H-2A status. The countries included in the chart below are selected as the top users in Fiscal Year 2014. In addition to the top users of Fiscal Year 2014, Thailand and Haiti are included because they used to be bigger users of the program in past years. Note that the Eligible Countries List became active starting January 2009, so Haiti and Thailand had a dip in their usage between the time the list became active and the time they were added to the list.

As can be seen from the data below, Mexico has consistently accounted for over 90% of the use of the H-2A visa. Currently, the other source countries for H-2A visa holders are mostly from the Americas, in regions physically close to the United States. The biggest user from the African continent is South Africa (accounting for over 90% of usage from Africa) and the biggest user from Europe is Romania (accounting for about half of the usage from Europe). Also, whereas Mexico and Peru have been consistently strong users of the program since 1997 (when records started being kept), the usage by other countries has started more recently.

Number of petitions approved by USCIS broken down by quarter and state
Since Fiscal Year 2012, the USCIS has released data on the number of H-2A petitions (Forms I-129) received, approved, and denied, broken down by quarter, U.S. state, and employer. Note the following caveats:

 * Years and quarters use the United States fiscal year, that starts on October 1 of the previous calendar year and ends on September 30 of the calendar year. For instance, 2012 Q1 starts on October 1, 2011 and ends on December 31, 2011.
 * Since a single H-2A petition can be filed for multiple workers, the number of approved petitions is substantially less than the number of workers who were approved.
 * The quarter in which a petition is received may not be the same as the quarter in which it is approved. Similarly, the quarter in which a petition is approved may not be the same as the quarter in which a visa based on the petition is issued (however, the process is likely to span at most two adjacent quarters, due to the expedition of processing for H-2A petitions and the fact that a petition cannot be filed more than 75 days before the start date).

Variation based on the quarter and state reflects seasonal and geographical differences in demand for agricultural labor. In FY 2017, more than half of all H-2A positioned were certified to work-sites in just five states: North Carolina, Washington (state), Florida, Georgia (U.S. state), and California.

Data for some quarters is included below.

Polymers

Polymer is a term used to describe large molecules consisting of repeating structural units, or monomers, connected by covalent chemical bonds. The term is derived from the Greek words: polys meaning many, and meros meaning parts [1]. A key feature that distinguishes polymers from other molecules is the repetition of many identical, similar, or complementary molecular subunits in these chains. These subunits, the monomers, are small molecules of low to moderate molecular weight, and are linked to each other during a chemical reaction called polymerization.

School:Mathematics/Philosophy of Mathematics/Defining Mathematics

Math is the rigorous investigation of quantity, number, and pattern by the use of deductive reasoning. It attempts to build from the fewest, simplest atomic structures more complex ideas, all the while maintaining generality. The level of rigor required in mathematical proof ensures that logical inconsistency is not allowed within the system, although investigation into the foundations of mathematics has revealed that certain aspects of the theory remain unprovable within the system itself. While mathematics as a discipline concerns itself with varied topics (geometry, topology, algebra, analysis), the nomenclature remains the same within each subtopic and the same methodologies can often be employed in numerous fields. Much of the variety of mathematics, though, is usually considered a particular interpretation or application of a more abstract substratum, one that usually consists of formal logic with set theoretic considerations (or set theory phrased in the terminology of formal logic).

Peter Sellers on stage, radio, screen and record

The British actor and comedian Peter Sellers (1925–1980) performed in many genres of light entertainment, including film, radio and theatre. He appeared in the BBC Radio comedy series The Goon Show, recorded a number of hit comic songs and became known internationally through his many film characterisations, among them Chief Inspector Clouseau in The Pink Panther film series. The filmmakers John and Roy Boulting described him as "the greatest comic genius [Britain] has produced since Charles Chaplin".

Sellers's career on radio, film, television and record spanned from 1948 until his death. He made his radio debut on ShowTime in 1948, followed by appearances in Ray's a Laugh, Starlight Hour, The Gang Show, Henry Hall's Guest Night and It's Fine to Be Young. Along with Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe and Michael Bentine, he took part in the radio series The Goon Show (1951–60). Throughout his career, Sellers made a number of television appearances, in character roles and for interviews and advertisements. His stage appearances were few, largely because he had been unhappy with the touring he had done as a child with his family. During his career, he also released a number of albums containing sketches and comic songs; the songs were undertaken in a variety of comic characters.

Starting in the 1950s, Sellers appeared in over fifty films, including I'm All Right Jack, Dr. Strangelove, Lolita, Being There and the Pink Panther series. At the peak of his career, he was one of the most popular stars at the British box office: third in most popular films in 1962, and second in 1963. Sellers's versatility enabled him to portray a wide range of comic characters using different accents and guises, and he would often assume multiple roles within the same film. In 2005, Channel 4 conducted a survey of modern-day comedians, who ranked Sellers the 14th most influential comedian of all time.

Stage credits
At the start of his career, Sellers also performed acts in a number of variety shows in various parts of Britain; his wartime service with the Gang Shows of Ralph Reader saw him perform in India, Ceylon and Burma.

Selected radio broadcasts

Sellers also appeared in supporting roles in a number of other radio programmes from the 1940s to the 1970s.

National Route 257 (Costa Rica)

National Secondary Route 257 is an arterial road from Route 32 to the Moín Container Terminal in the Caribbean sea of Costa Rica.

Description
This is a 2.3 km two lane road, one in each direction, that was created for the cargo transportation between Route 32 and Moín Container Terminal.

History
At the time of its construction, it was heavily criticized due to a critical geographic gaffe, as there was a problem of communication between the actors involved, with an 80m error in the design plans, and a whole new redesign was required for a much more expensive road than projected, at about an additional CRC ₡7,900 million, including an elevated highway with a length of 817m.

The country comptroller was involved in the investigation of the gaffe.

The road was opened for general use on 26 January 2018, it took eighteen months to complete.

An Entertaining Tale of Quadrupeds

An Entertaining Tale of Quadrupeds (Medieval Greek: Παιδιόφραστος διήγησις τῶν ζῴων τῶν τετραπόδων) is a Byzantine poem composed in the 14th century AD by an unknown author. It is notable for its cross-genre literary style, encompassing satire, didactic and romance (see Byzantine literature). The text takes the form of a dialogue between different domestic and wild animals, in a convention presided over by the King of the animals, the Lion.

Dating
The poem itself states that it was written on 15 September 1364. Modern commentators have generally accepted that the poem was written within 10–20 years either side of this date. It was probably written before 1382, as a specific kind of hat (Greek: σαρπούζιν; Arabic: sharbūsh) worn by Muslims in Mamluk Egypt was banned that year. The style and vigour of the text also suggest that the poem was written before the forced vassalage of the remaining Byzantine Empire to the Ottoman Empire.

Name
The author of the poem is unknown. The first verses of the Greek version form the acrostic 'ΔΙΟΓΕΝΟΥΣΘΕ' ('Diogenousthe'), which could suggest the author's name was Diogenes/Digines (Greek: Διογένης). The name is otherwise unknown in this context, and therefore the author's identity remains a mystery.

Social position
There are some indications in the text about the social position of the author in his 14th-century context. Much like the majority of literate persons in the Byzantine Empire at this time, the author was probably associated with the Byzantine Church, possibly a monk, scribe or secretary. This is supported by several clues in the poem. Firstly, the text ends with a reference to Psalm 33.16. Secondly, the author displays anti-Catholicism and anti-Semitism, characteristic of Byzantine clergy at this time. There are no allusions to personal relationships and marriage, though references to genitalia are plentiful.

Style
The text is in the form of a poem. The meter is composed of 15 syllables. Each section is separated by a Caesura between the 8th and 9th syllable. There are a total of 1082 verses and 36 stanzas.

Genre
The genre of the Tale is not clearly defined. There are features of Allegory, Bestiary, Fable/Beast fable and Epic poetry.

Allegory
The central allegory of the Tale is the depiction of Animal society, with its various characters and traits, as an allusion to contemporary Byzantine society. Many of the characters could fulfill numerous positions in Byzantine society: the Lion, a figure of supreme importance and power (Emperor, Patriarch of Constantinople, Pope); the Fox, a wily trickster (Court eunuch); the Elephant, a redundant giant (Co-Emperor).

Fable/Beast Fable
See: Beast fable

Notably, neither birds nor insects feature in the entire story.

Epic poetry
Some aspects of the Tale are similar to the epic poetry, such as the Iliad and the Epic of Gilgamesh. Principally, the focal point and climax of the story is a battle between the two sides in the story. Alongside this, the fighting focuses on hand-to-hand combat:

Language
The Tale is written in Greek. The style of the language suggests that it was written down, as opposed to being recorded from an oral sources. The Tale is immediately remarkable for its use of profane language.

Koine and 'Atticising' Greek
Much in line with contemporary Byzantine literature, the Greek is a mixture of Koine, with close links to the spoken language of the day, and Attic Greek, a language of prestige and learning.

Loan-words
The two sources of loan-words in the Tale come from the East and the West.

Themes
There are several themes present in the text. These include the reversal of the established order, comedy, and loyalty to the church and loyalty to the state.
