Here are a list of case studies about online universities with experiences that might be useful to wikiversity

Cool study on how location is no longer as important

University of Phoenix
The good thing about University of Phoenix is that it shows that certain things are possible. What UoP does is to use large numbers of adjunct faculty, create strong student groups, and then it is very strong on faculty training and evaluation.

The problems with the UoP model

 * adjunct faculty are getting vastly short changed. You have 10 students that pay $1000 per course, and the faculty gets $1000.  It *is* true that UoP provides huge amounts of academic support, but I suspect that it can be done more cheaply.

 * there are some definite conflicts of interest between UoP marketing and academics. Suppose UoP has a class that makes students really think about whether or not they want to be an MBA.  It's not in UoP's interest to make students think about this, since they might conclude that they don't want/need an MBA.

 * issues of control. high-level knowledge production requires strong social networks and collective action.  UoP discourages these networks and collective action.  Once adjunct faculty start talking about developing new course, that moves control from the administration to the adjuncts, and once faculty start talking with each other about new courses, they are likely also going to be starting to talk to each other about pay and working conditions.

Olin College
Started with $500,000 and 300 students. The main thing that Olin had was very strong support from big name engineering types.

Virtual Online University
One effort that was started in the mid-1990 using MOO's. What I think happened

 * MOO's created tight social networks
 * People used those social networks to create institutions of learning
 * Then commercial entities (Yahoo, AOL, Gaim) offered IM and other alternatives
 * This killed the social networks

What I (User:Roadrunner) learned

 * You have to be willing and able to provide open source platforms. Having closed-source platforms is BAD because they attract people, but the platform users are unwilling to make changes to support academics.
 * Be careful of internecine warfare. One of the things about Wikipedia is that it has the critical mass so that no one flame war consumes the community and because there aren't key locuses of power that are targets for warfare.  In a small community, these fights divided up people.
 * Interoperability is important. MOO's were never really interoperable so that improvements in X MOO get put into another one.
 * Open standards and code are important. MediaMOO died after the major entities tried to start a commercial company and then got bought out by Microsoft.

Globewide Network Academy
http://www.gnacademy.org/

Now just a database of distance learning courses. I (User:Roadrunner) am still president.

I learned a *huge* amount about educational administration. The main points

 * to have a functioning institution, you need to worry about money, politics, and funding
 * I don't like worrying about money, politics, and funding
 * In the early stages people are willing to do a lot of stuff for free because of the novelity. After a technology becomes mature, the novelity factor wears off and you need to have funding, *if* your project is less than a critical mass of people.  If you have a large number of people then people get social capital from participating, and you can divide up the work so that people do what they like.

There is some hugely useful stuff on there, that needs to be moved over were the wikimedia social network can get at it.

More notes on the MOO Universities of the 1990's
I think that three of the things that I learned in working on GNAcademy are

1) that traditional academia is less solid and impressive than it looks from the outside 2) that organizational stability and money are important (and that I hated working on these issues). 3) and that you really, really need to get a free culture infrastructure

Someone probably should do a study on the rise and fall of MOO universities of the 1990's. The basic problem is that because people in the MOO environment were anti-commercial, there wasn't too much effort put into raising money through grants and other items. The problem then was that the technical architecture sufferred which meant that ordinary people started using yahoo chat, which meant that the community just collapsed. Something that WF needs to do is to make sure that the really key developers get funding to work on open source enhancements to MediaWiki. Something that killed MOO's is that the key developers started working on closed source projects.

So the effort that the Wikimedia Foundation is putting into organizational stability and WYSIWYG ease of use is exactly the right thing to do. What I'd like to see wikiversity do is to serve as an enabler to help ordinary people get access to NSF grants and the like.

Another thing to keep in mind is that A lot of projects are done by undergraduate students and graduate students who have huge reserves of time, energy, and new ideas, and not that much money. The problem happens when graduate students no longer are graduate students and have families and mortgages which require money to keep up. At this point a huge amount of experience just leaves the pool. If we really want to develop wikiversity, we need to look at the human lifecycle and develop institutions that work through the parenting years into retirement.

The other thing that undergraduates and graduate students need to be aware of. The system is horribly exploiting your enthusiasm and new ideas and horribly underpaying you all. I don't know if anything can be done about it, but just realize that the problem exists.

Stephone Paige

Stephone Paige (born October 15, 1961) is a former professional American football player who played for the Kansas City Chiefs. A 6'2" 185 lb. wide receiver undrafted free agent from California State University, Fresno, Paige played in nine seasons for the Chiefs.

Early years
Paige attended and played high school football at Long Beach Polytechnic High School.

College career
Paige attended and played college football at Fresno State.

In the 1982 season, Paige had six receptions for 176 receiving yards and three touchdowns against Pacific. In the 1982 California Bowl, Paige scored three touchdowns and 246 receiving yards, both school records, in the 29–28 victory over Bowling Green. At the time of the bowl game, Paige's 246 receiving yards were a NCAA single-bowl game record that has since been passed numerous times.

Professional career
Paige went undrafted in the 1983 NFL Draft and later joined the Kansas City Chiefs.

1983 season
In Week 6, against the Los Angeles Raiders, Paige recorded his first NFL touchdown on a 36-yard reception in the first quarter of the 21–20 loss. He scored two receiving touchdowns in a 41–38 loss to the San Diego Chargers in Week 15. He finished his rookie season with 30 receptions for 528 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns.

1984 season
Paige finished his second NFL season with 30 receptions for 541 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns. Paige tied Carlos Carson and Henry Marshall for the team lead in receiving touchdowns in 1984.

1985 season
In the 1985 season, Paige recorded 43 receptions for 943 receiving yards and ten receiving touchdowns. He had three games on the season with multiple receiving touchdowns. He led the team in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns in 1985.

Record-breaking game
On December 22, 1985, in Week 16, the regular season finale, Paige had 309 receiving yards on eight receptions against the San Diego Chargers. Paige's record-setting performance was the first 300-yard game seen in the NFL since Cloyce Box accomplished the feat in 1950. He broke Jim Benton's mark that had lasted for over 40 years. Paige accomplished the feat with only eight receptions for a 38.63 yards-per-catch average. No other 300-yard game had been accomplished on less than 12 receptions. Paige's mark remained an NFL single-game record until it was broken in 1989 by Flipper Anderson of the Los Angeles Rams with a 336-yard performance in an overtime game. Paige's 309-yard performance remained the NFL record for a regulation game until Calvin Johnson broke the mark with a 329-yard day in the 2013 season. Paige was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his historic game. Paige ended up leading the NFL in the 1985 season in yards per reception with 21.9, undoubtedly bolstered by his record-breaking game.

1986 season
Paige had two games with multiple receiving touchdowns in the 1986 season, Week 7 against the San Diego Chargers and Week 12 against the St. Louis Cardinals. His lone game going over the 100-yard mark came in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. In the 1986 season, Paige finished with 52 receptions for 829 receiving yards and 11 receiving touchdowns. He led the team in all major receiving categories.

1987 season
In Week 8, against the Chicago Bears, Paige had five receptions for 121 receiving yards and one touchdown in the 31–28 loss. Paige played in 12 games and recorded 43 receptions for 707 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns in the 1987 season.

1988 season
In Week 14 against the New York Jets, Paige had four receptions for 113 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns in the 38–34 victory. In the 1988 season, Paige recorded 61 receptions for 902 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns. He led the team in all major receiving categories.

1989 season
In Week 8, against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Paige had seven receptions for 163 yards in the 23–17 loss. In Week 13, against the Miami Dolphins, he had seven receptions for 133 receiving yards and a touchdown in the 26–21 victory. Paige played in 14 games and recorded 44 receptions for 759 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns in the 1989 season. Paige led the team in receptions and receiving yards. Despite having only two receiving touchdowns, Paige tied for the team lead with Emile Harry, Jonathan Hayes, and Robb Thomas.

1990 season
In Week 2, against the Denver Broncos, Paige had ten receptions for 206 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns in the 24–23 loss. In Week 13, against the New England Patriots, he had seven receptions for 151 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown in the 37–7 victory. The 1990 season marked Paige's most productive year as a professional with 65 receptions for 1,021 yards and five touchdowns. He led the team in receptions and receiving yards. He tied with Bill Jones for the team lead in receiving touchdowns. In the Wild Card Round of the 1990–91 season, Paige had eight receptions for 142 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown in the 17–16 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

1991 season
In the 1991 season, Paige suffered a knee injury, which limited him to three games. He was declared out for the season after Week 5. After the 1991 season, the Chiefs released Paige.

Between 1985 and 1991, Paige had at least one reception for 83 consecutive games, a team record until it was broken on January 1, 2006, by tight end Tony Gonzalez.

Paige was signed by the Minnesota Vikings in 1993 but did not record any statistics with the team.

Personal life

Talk:Universitas Valachorum

Meugarium
Does anyone know to whom "Meugarium" refers? Maybe Bulgarians? - Jmabel | Talk 05:12, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

WHEN did it exist?
As of now, there isn't even a century indicated for the establishment of the institution.

The end of it is just hinted at. Was there an act (royal decree or alike) which explicitly dissolved the UV?

I understand we're talking about little-documented, old history, but still: history without dates is called legend. Arminden (talk) 12:25, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The Universitas Valachorum is mentioned twice: in 1291 and 1355. Borsoka (talk) 23:55, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, we have that. Didn't Köpeczi know yet about the 1355 document? In the 1980s he wrote (or accepted as editor a colleague writing) that 1291 was the last time the UV was summoned to a general assembly. Pop wrote in 1988 about it, quoting a document quite visibly published in 1977 (Documenta Romaniae Historica, C. Transilvania, vol. X (1351-1355), Bucharest, 1977, p. 325-327, no. 312).

 * Anyway, that wasn't exactly my point. No mention doesn't mean non-existent. Köpeczi also doesn't see the lack of mention in the 12th century as a proof that the UV didn't exist, but that historians must extrapolate backwards from 13th-century documents, which isn't fully satisfactory. My point was: if there are no sources explicitly noting when and why the UV a) came into being, and b) was abolished, then we at least need to know what historians are writing on the topic. Using the word "legend" was meant as a tease & push for editors to address the topic. Cheers, Arminden (talk) 11:45, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Is there any serious historian proposing that the Estates of the Realm existed in Hungary in the 12th century? The universitas valachorum did not come into being and was not abolished. There were occasions when the leaders of the Vlach community (whose status was different from the status of Hungarian noblemen, and the Saxon and Székely leaders) were invited to a joint judicial assembly in Transylvania, but joint assemblies were unusual in this period. As the most prominent leaders of the Vlach community were rewarded with nobility, they dissappeared as a separate group. A similar process can also be detected in case of the Cuman, Pecheneg and Jász leaders. Borsoka (talk) 02:25, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Please, have some patience, no more quick blanking please!
hi. As I have written yesterday in an edit summary: it was me who placed the refimprove tags, less than 24 hours before you blanked a large part of the article. The article has been dormant for ages, now I'm working at adding sources or placing the actual source references next to statements which did obviously originate in those sources, but the editor didn't know how, or bother to, place the ref info where it belongs. Yesterday I've added ref to several passages, I've introduced more info, and today I had to take a day off - only to find even more arbitrary blanking from you, even of referenced material. This is in no way allowed by Wiki rules, let alone it being reasonable - or respectful with other people's work, and the user's right to information. So please, That's civilised, common practice - and the Wiki proper & required editing method. Until then, I'll return the article at the state I've left it in yesterday, and will continue working on it tomorrow. If I get stuck or stop working at it for a week, go ahead and do as you please; otherwise, please see above. Köszönöm. Arminden (talk) 20:10, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) let me do my bit and then
 * 2) discuss here,with arguments, what you disagree with, and see if we do come to a result. If not,
 * 3) we'll ask for arbitration by a third party.

 * I do take issue with your edit summary style. Writing "If we do not have information, do we need to mention it? Could we say, we do not have information about atomic bunkers in the Roman Empire?" is condescending, offensive - and factually wrong, which reverts the intended ridicule & insult upon him who issued it.

 * The one who made the statement you erased about the 12th century is your late countryman, respected historian, and for a while Secretary-General of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Béla Köpeczi. Since we're dealing here with human sciences and not with mathematics, and with events 8-900 years old, it is not only allowed, but actually a must, and good & common academic practice to present theories about important matters on which no documents have survived, based on educated, informed guesses. If you want to reduce the topic to the level of a village bar discussion after the fifth bottle of pálinka, "show me photos for proof or I'll smash your head in", then we've got nothing to talk about.

 * Structures are built up over time. Parliaments and assemblies don't come into being over night. Köpeczi, as a historian, knew that well. You cannot have a ready-to-go Romanian universitas out of nothing, and after being called up once, it remaining on standby for sixty years, inactive but ready, maybe-maybe someone will invite them again.

 * The other two edits which accompanied the blankings are not sarcastic, but deeply flawed and POV. "Ethnic Romanian noblemen, along with ethnic German, Slovakian, etc. noblemen were part of the "Hungarian nation"." Wrong. There was no "Hungarian nation" in the 12th, 13th, 14th century and many more to come, as there were no other nations anywhere else either. If you mean: mediaeval "nation", understood as an Estate of the realm, that's again inaccurate, as the documents clearly make a distinction between groups. What an ethnic group considered to be their leaders or, in their own eyes, nobility, was still far from being officially recognised by the powers that be as part of the Second Estate, the nobles of the kingdom. The rules varied greatly in time, and the later, Western-raised kings of medieval Hungary tried (and eventually managed) to change the early, tribal feudal system of the time of settlement and kingdom-building. Centuries are not passing in vain. All German and Romanian nobles, to become accepted part of the Second Estate, had to become Magyarised, as a matter of fact, be it the Apa/Apafi, Cândea/Kendeli, the counts of Kelling, or whoever, which fully alienated them from their former communities. Being Catholic did matter, and it eventually became crucial. We're not talking post-1867, we're talking 12th–14th century here.

 * You erased a standard mention of the year the source is dated to, "at least as of 1988". It's not allowed and wrong. As you can see even from the few sources quoted, the Banat topic for instance was almost unknown and missing from major history books, as were other documents, overlooked until they were brought to everybody's attention. So yes, "as of 1988", similar to "as of 1989" when basing a statement on the English translation of Köpeczi's "Shorth History". I don't know what they have published in the last 30-plus years. Do you? If yes, you're most welcome to quote those sources.

 * You write "contradictory statements, perhaps we want to mention the facts", and the "mentioned facts" you presented are - not some contribution of yours, but word for word (less "at least as of 1988") an already existing paragraph, in my exact wording, put together by me the previous day. That's logically self-defeating (and arrogant). Also, there is no single contradiction in the blanked paragraphs. Maybe they do contradict your opinion, but nothing in the rest of the article.

 * Blanking on a whim is out of question. Not presenting reliable sources as arguments for any edit is not acceptable anymore. Sarcasm and counterfactual edit summaries are a good base for reverting the edits. Standards must be kept. Arminden (talk) 21:56, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:NOR. We are not here to present our theory about historical facts, but to present scholarly views. Unreferenced texts can be deleted any time. Please also read some books about Central European history before commenting on the meaning of the term "Hungarian nation" in this period. Please also read the sources before associating late-13th-century and 14th-century general assemblies in Transylvania with parliaments. Borsoka (talk) 00:54, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

Borankana

Borankana refers to a traditional music in Botswana which is usually practiced or performed by Bakwena tribe in the Kweneng District of Botswana (Molepolole). Borankana is strongly connected to the culture of Botswana.The other used name for Borankana is Phathisi. Borankana is traditionally performed by both elderly people and young people. According to history, Borankana was performed during tribal activities only. It is believed according to history that only man and boys were the ones dancing whilst the females sang, clapped hands and Ululated during performances.

Origins of Phathisi/ Borankana
Borankana performances are estimated to have initiated by the year 1914 and 1916. According to history Phathisi came from a man tying down the lowest part of his trouser using a peg when he cycles. In the past, man used to work in mines using their bicycles and for one man to own a bicycle they have to be wealthy enough to be able to purchase one, and the trouser had to be tied hard to avoid toppling of the rider or the trouser being hooked by the chain. The same process of trouser pegging was used when performing Borankana.It was changed from pegging the lower part of the trouser to using shorts when performing the Borankana.

List of Kimba the White Lion characters

The following is a list of characters from Kimba the White Lion.

Characters

 * Leo (レオ) / Kimba
 * Voiced by (Japanese): Yoshiko Ōta (1965 anime), Takashi Toyama (Go Ahead Leo!), Megumi Hayashibara (1989 anime, cub), Shinnosuke Furumoto (1989 anime, adult), Masane Tsukayama (1997 movie), Taeko Kawata (2009 TV movie)
 * Voiced by (English): Billie Lou Watt (1965 anime), Enzo Caputo (Go Ahead Leo!), Yvonne Murray (1965 anime redub), Brad Swaile (1989 anime), Dan Green (1997 movie)
 * A white lion and the protagonist of the story who, in the original manga, is followed from birth to death. He believes that there would be peace between animals and humans if each understood the other. In the 1997 movie, the lion leads Dr. Moustache and his assistant to Mt. Moon, and he sacrifices himself by falling on Dr. Moustache's kris so that Dr. Moustache will have food and shelter from the cold. In the 2009 TV movie, Leo has poor hunting skills and is acrophobic, always leaping straight up instead of across gaps. In his attack on the facility, he overwhelms his dislike of heights.

 * Panja (パンジャ) / Caesar
 * Voiced by (Japanese): Asao Koike (1965 anime), Isao Sasaki (1989 anime), Saburō Tokitō (2009 TV movie)
 * Voiced by (English): Ray Owens (1965 anime)
 * A white lion, Leo's father, and Emperor of the Jungle. He is killed by Ham Egg while trying to rescue his wife and queen. His skin is in his son Leo's lair and under his care. Leo uses his hide as an attraction for a festival in episode 24. He was Specklerex's rival, and (according to High Priestess Leona) Bubu's most hated archenemy, as the one-eyed lion always tried to defile the shrine. He appears in certain episodes in flashbacks, and his head is seen on the full moon in Episode 22 when he gives Leo the strength to find the medicine to save Pop Wooly. In the 2009 movie, he dies protecting his family from hunters.

 * Eliza (エライザ) / Snowene
 * Voiced by (Japanese): Noriko Shindo (1965 anime), Nanako Matsushima (2009 TV movie)
 * Voiced by (English): Billie Lou Watt (1965 anime)
 * Leo's mother, used as bait by Ham Egg and Kutter. While on the ship, she gives birth to Leo and urges him to escape due to the tropical storm; she is then drowned. She plays a very important role in the 2009 TV movie, in parts like quelling an argument between Leo and Kenichi, and even partaking an assault on the cloning facility; unlike in the previous versions, she does not perish in the 2009 movie.

 * Leona (リョーナ)
 * Voiced by (Japanese): Sumi Shimamoto (1989 anime)
 * Voice by (English): Billie Lou Watt (1966), Kathleen Barr (1989)
 * Leo's older sister whose task is to guard a small shrine and its chapel, which has many skins of white lions. In the 1989 remake, she was Leo's aunt, shares the same white color as he (minus the black tips), and something of a foster mother to Lyre, and also served as the High Priestess of a small abbey; many men and women revere her to the point of hand feeding her fresh meat cuts. As High Priestess, its Leona's job to ensure that everyone in the abbey heeds her orders and her terms, especially when one of the abbesses attempted to knock her out with a tranquilizer gun.

 * Lyre (ライヤ) / Kitty
 * Voiced by (Japanese): Keiko Matsuo (1965 anime), Haruko Kitahama (Go Ahead Leo!), Sakiko Tamagawa (1989 anime), Chieko Baisho (1997 movie)
 * Voiced by (English): Sonia Owens (1965 anime), Kelly Sheridan (1989 anime), Veronica Taylor (1997 movie)
 * A lioness who would later be Leo's mate and bear him a son and daughter. She is the niece of the old lion named Specklerex and lives with him after her parents are slain by hunters. She notices things that Leo sometimes overlooks. She is always there when Leo needs advice, a "better nature" to calm him down in anger, a shoulder to cry on, or a warrior at his side. In the 1989 remake, she served as a disciple and foster daughter of High Priestess Leona, as her order was to find a type of flower known as a 'starflower'. In the movie, Lyre falls victim to the speckled fever and slowly dies.

 * Lune (ルネ)
 * Voiced by (Japanese): Kyoko Satomi (Go Ahead Leo!), Mifuyu Hiragi (1997 movie)
 * Voiced by (English): Jose Alvarez (Go Ahead Leo!), Tara Sands (1997 movie)
 * Leo and Lyre's son. He resembles Leo when he was a cub. He prefers to help his father out in dangerous quests (such as relocating a large horde of elephants, defending the last heroes of a tribe of warriors from corrupted leopard spearmen, and even reclaiming Panja's hide from bandits). He and Lukio made their rise to the spotlight in Episode 5, where his struggles begin in fear and end with new-found valiance. He is, according to one of the giraffes in Episode 15, headstrong, though Leo counters that the cub makes the right choice of friends. Episode 21 shows that he was tricked by an overweight hyena named Agura. He has a very strong dislike of Bizo, for a good reason. Lune always strives to do right things and good deeds, as seen in Episode 9. In the tenth episode, he and Lukio befriend a lycon named Rick.

Riesz projector

In mathematics, or more specifically in spectral theory, the Riesz projector is the projector onto the eigenspace corresponding to a particular eigenvalue of an operator (or, more generally, a projector onto an invariant subspace corresponding to an isolated part of the spectrum). It was introduced by Frigyes Riesz in 1912.

Definition
Let $$A$$ be a closed linear operator in the Banach space $$\mathfrak{B}$$. Let $$\Gamma$$ be a simple or composite rectifiable contour, which encloses some region $$G_\Gamma$$ and lies entirely within the resolvent set $$\rho(A)$$ ($$\Gamma\subset\rho(A)$$) of the operator $$A$$. Assuming that the contour $$\Gamma$$ has a positive orientation with respect to the region $$G_\Gamma$$, the Riesz projector corresponding to $$\Gamma$$ is defined by

P_\Gamma=-\frac{1}{2\pi \mathrm{i}}\oint_\Gamma(A-z I_{\mathfrak{B}})^{-1}\,\mathrm{d}z; $$ here $$I_{\mathfrak{B}}$$ is the identity operator in $$\mathfrak{B}$$.

If $$\lambda\in\sigma(A)$$ is the only point of the spectrum of $$A$$ in $$G_\Gamma$$, then $$P_\Gamma$$ is denoted by $$P_\lambda$$.

Properties
The operator $$P_\Gamma$$ is a projector which commutes with $$A$$, and hence in the decomposition
 * $$\mathfrak{B}=\mathfrak{L}_\Gamma\oplus\mathfrak{N}_\Gamma

\qquad \mathfrak{L}_\Gamma=P_\Gamma\mathfrak{B}, \quad \mathfrak{N}_\Gamma=(I_{\mathfrak{B}}-P_\Gamma)\mathfrak{B}, $$ both terms $$\mathfrak{L}_\Gamma$$ and $$\mathfrak{N}_\Gamma$$ are invariant subspaces of the operator $$A$$. Moreover,
 * 1) The spectrum of the restriction of $$A$$ to the subspace $$\mathfrak{L}_\Gamma$$ is contained in the region $$G_\Gamma$$;
 * 2) The spectrum of the restriction of $$A$$ to the subspace $$\mathfrak{N}_\Gamma$$ lies outside the closure of $$G_\Gamma$$.

If $$\Gamma_1$$ and $$\Gamma_2$$ are two different contours having the properties indicated above, and the regions $$G_{\Gamma_1}$$ and $$G_{\Gamma_2}$$ have no points in common, then the projectors corresponding to them are mutually orthogonal:

P_{\Gamma_1}P_{\Gamma_2} = P_{\Gamma_2}P_{\Gamma_1}=0. $$

Jukskei

Jukskei is a -year-old folk sport (Boeresport) developed and played in South Africa.

History
Jukskei is believed to have originated around 1743 in the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, developed by "transport riders" who travelled with ox-drawn wagons. They used the wooden pins of the yokes (juk and skei) of the oxen to throw at a stick that was planted into the ground. The game was also played during the Great Trek. It was also played by the farmers from the Boland on beaches.

Jukskei became an organised sport around the year 1939, when the first unions were established and rules were formalised.

Today
The sport is traditionally associated with the Afrikaners and in 2001 it was chosen by the SA government as one of the sports to be included in the Indigenous Games Project. Since then the game has started to gain popularity with young people of all cultures. There is usually a team of 4 players, of whom one is the captain, but it can also be played in pairs or singles. Jukskei in South Africa is played at schools, club and provincial level, and there is an annual tournament in Kroonstad in the Free State. Jukskei is also being played in Namibia and the USA. The three countries are affiliated to the International Jukskei Federation (IJF).

Basic rules
The object of the game is to knock over a peg that is planted in a sandpit over a distance of between 10 and 16 m (depending on age and gender). It is played in teams with usually four members each. Each member has two skeis (and thus two turns). The playing field consists of two pits juxtaposed in opposite directions, so that play can take place in both directions. Each time a team member knocks over the peg, he gets three points. If the peg wasn't knocked out, the team lying closest to the position of the peg scores as many points as they have skeis closer to the peg than their opponent's closest skei. The first team to get exactly 23 points first wins the game. If the team gets more than 23 points, they start from 0.

Elizabeth Evatt

Elizabeth Andreas Evatt (born 11 November 1933), an eminent Australian reformist lawyer and jurist who sat on numerous national and international tribunals and commissions, was the first Chief Justice of the Family Court of Australia, the first female judge of an Australian federal court, and the first Australian to be elected to the United Nations Human Rights Committee.

Early years and background
Evatt was born in 1933, the daughter of the barrister Clive Evatt, granddaughter of Harry Andreas of Leuralla, and the niece of H. V. Evatt. Educated at the Presbyterian Ladies' College in Pymble, Sydney, Evatt studied law at the University of Sydney, as the youngest law student ever accepted, and became the first female student to win the University's Medal for Law, graduating in March 1955. Admitted as at barrister in New South Wales in 1955, Evatt won a scholarship to Harvard University where she was awarded a LLM in 1956 and was admitted to the bar at the Inner Temple in London, United Kingdom. From 1968 to 1973, Evatt worked at the England and Wales Law Commission under Lord Scarman.

Australia
In December 1972, Evatt was appointed as the first female Deputy President of the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission and retained this position until 1989. Between 1974 and 1977, Evatt chaired the Royal Commission on Human Relationships, producing recommendations which ultimately led to the enactment of the Family Law Act 1975 where no-fault divorce and the single ground of irreconcilable differences evidenced by twelve months separation were introduced into Australian family law. The Act also established the Family Court of Australia, and Evatt was appointed as its inaugural Chief Justice holding this position from 1976 until 1988.

In 1988 Evatt was appointed President of the Australian Law Reform Commission, a position she held until 1993. From 1995 to 1998, she served as a part-time Commissioner of the Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission.

International
Appointed as a member of the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women in 1984, Evatt later chaired the committee, from 1989 to 1991, and remained a member until 1992. Evatt was the first Australian to be elected to the United Nations Human Rights Committee in 1992, serving as a member from 1993 to 2000.

Between 1998 and 2007, Evatt served two consecutive, five-year terms as a judge of a tribunal of the World Bank that determines staffing disputes. Evatt was elected as a Commissioner of the International Committee of Jurists in April 2003.

Non-judicial appointments
In 1988 Evatt was made Chancellor of the University of Newcastle, holding this post until 1994.

In 1995 Evatt was commissioned by Senator Herron, the Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs, to review the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984. Her extensive report, Review of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 ('the Evatt Review') was presented in August 1996 and paved the way for legislative reform to a complex and controversial area of law.

Human rights advocate
Evatt has been an outspoken advocate of issues relating to human rights in Australia, particularly women's rights. In a 2004 speech to mark the twentieth anniversary of the Sex Discrimination Act 1984, Evatt critiqued the Act and other laws relating to women's rights in Australia, in terms of its inadequacies in satisfying Australia's obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. She was also critical of the then Howard Liberal government's anti-terrorism legislation, particularly provisions relating to control orders and preventive detention, saying that "These laws are striking at the most fundamental freedoms in our democracy in a most draconian way."

Evatt was a signatory to the Yogyakarta Principles in November 2006.

Awards and honours
Evatt was made an Officer of the Order of Australia on 14 June 1982, in recognition of services to the law, and was granted the status of Companion of the Order of Australia, at the Queen's Birthday honours on 12 June 1995. The latter citation was awarded "in recognition of service to the law, social justice and to the promotion of human rights worldwide, particularly in the areas of equal opportunity and anti-discrimination legislation and practice".

In 1985 an honorary degree of LL.D was conferred on Evatt by the University of Sydney at a special ceremony which celebrated the centenary of the first graduations by women at the university. In 1994, the Flinders University of South Australia conferred the same award on Evatt.

In 2007 the Blue Mountains Community Legal Centre changed its name to the Elizabeth Evatt Community Legal Centre. The Centre provides free legal advice to clients in the surrounding region, and Evatt serves as patron of the centre.

Evatt is a Life Member of the Evatt Foundation, an organisation established as a memorial to her uncle, Dr H. V. Evatt, with the aim of advancing the highest ideals of the labour movement, such as equality, participation, social justice and human rights. Evatt served as Vice-President of the Foundation between 1982 and 1987.

She was added to the Victorian Honour Roll of Women in 2001.

Silver Swan (automaton)

The Silver Swan is an automaton dating from the 18th century and now housed in the Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle, Teesdale, County Durham, England. It was acquired by John Bowes, the museum's founder, from a Parisian jeweller in 1872.

The swan, which is life-sized, is a clockwork-driven device that includes a music box. The swan sits in a "stream" made of glass rods and surrounded by silver leaves. Small silver fish can be seen "swimming" in the stream.

When the clockwork is wound, the music box plays and the glass rods rotate giving the illusion of flowing water. The swan turns its head from side to side and also preens itself. After a few moments the swan notices the swimming fish and bends down to catch and eat one. The swan's head then returns to the upright position and the performance, which lasts about 32 seconds, is over. To help preserve the mechanism, the swan was only operated once each day, at 2pm. The museum was closed during 2020 and 2021 so the daily display did not take place; when the exhibit was being prepared for reopening in May 2021 the clockwork mechanism was found to have seized up and it was withdrawn from display for further conservation.

The mechanism was designed and built by the Low Countries inventor John Joseph Merlin (1735–1803) in conjunction with the London inventor James Cox (1723–1800) in 1773.

The swan was described in the Cox's Museum Act 1772 (13 Geo. 3. c. 41) as being 3 feet (0.91 m) in diameter and 18 feet (5.49 m) high. This would seem to indicate that at one time there was more to the swan than remains today as it is no longer that high. It is said that there was originally a waterfall behind the swan, which was stolen while it was on tour – this could possibly explain the height which is now 'missing'.

It is known that the swan was sold several times and was shown at the Exposition Universelle held in Paris in 1867. The American novelist Mark Twain observed the swan and recorded his observation in a chapter of the Innocents Abroad, writing that the swan "had a living grace about his movement and a living intelligence in his eyes. "

In 2017 starting in February the swan spent 6 weeks at the Science Museum as part of an exhibition on robots. In October 2021, the Bowes Museum hosted a 'Silver Swan Study Week', led by clockmaker-conservator Matthew Read. During the week, visitors were able to watch a group of specialist conservators and curators dismantle the swan as they explored the mechanical condition of the object, ahead of creating a conservation plan for its preservation. The swan was returned to a functional state by March 2024.

The Bowes Museum believes that the Swan is their best-known artefact, and it is the basis of the museum's logo.

Talk:V1 speed

The title of this article is inconsistent with all the other v speeds sub-articles. Not sure what the right remedy is.--Parous 05:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Inconsistent Naming
I agree with Parous, but there is a disambiguation page for V1 explaining the multiple meanings of V1. The other V-speed subarticles don't need disambiguation, because they are less generic (Vc, Vno) than a numeric V-speed (V1, V2).

I do appreciate the discussion on this, as I am growing weary of those who simply make edits that are ill-advised. In my humble opinion, discussion pages are used far too infrequently.--SDPinder, 03 September 2006

Physical and mechanical hazards
Physical hazards are a common source of injuries in many industries. They are perhaps unavoidable in many industries such as construction and mining, but over time people have developed safety methods and procedures to manage the risks of physical danger in the workplace.

Falls are a common cause of occupational injuries and fatalities, especially in construction, extraction, transportation, healthcare, and building cleaning and maintenance.

Machines are commonplace in many industries, including manufacturing, mining, construction and agriculture, and can be dangerous to workers. Many machines involve moving parts, sharp edges, hot surfaces and other hazards with the potential to crush, burn, cut, shear, stab or otherwise strike or wound workers if used unsafely. Various safety measures exist to minimize these hazards, including lockout-tagout procedures for machine maintenance and roll over protection systems for vehicles. According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, machine-related injuries were responsible for 64,170 cases that required days away from work in 2008. More than a quarter of these cases required more than 31 days spent away from work. That same year, machines were the primary or secondary source of over 600 work-related fatalities. Machines are also often involved indirectly in worker deaths and injuries, such as in cases in which a worker slips and falls, possibly upon a sharp or pointed object.

Confined spaces also present a work hazard. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health defines "confined space" as having limited openings for entry and exit and unfavorable natural ventilation, and which is not intended for continuous employee occupancy. These kind of spaces can include storage tanks, ship compartments, sewers, and pipelines. Confined spaces can pose a hazard not just to workers, but also to people who try to rescue them.

Noise also presents a fairly common workplace hazard: occupational hearing loss is the most common work-related injury in the United States, with 22 million workers exposed to hazardous noise levels at work and an estimated $242 million spent annually on worker's compensation for hearing loss disability. Noise is not the only source of occupational hearing loss; exposure to chemicals such as aromatic solvents and metals including lead, arsenic, and mercury can also cause hearing loss.

Temperature extremes can also pose a danger to workers. Heat stress can cause heat stroke, exhaustion, cramps, and rashes. Heat can also fog up safety glasses or cause sweaty palms or dizziness, all of which increase the risk of other injuries. Workers near hot surfaces or steam also are at risk for burns. Dehydration may also result from overexposure to heat. Cold stress also poses a danger to many workers. Overexposure to cold conditions or extreme cold can lead to hypothermia, frostbite, trench foot, or chilblains.

Electricity poses a danger to many workers. Electrical injuries can be divided into four types: fatal electrocution, electric shock, burns, and falls caused by contact with electric energy.

Vibrating machinery, lighting, and air pressure can also cause work-related illness and injury. Asphyxiation is another potential work hazard in certain situations.

XPG I protein domain

In molecular biology, the XPG-I is a protein domain found on Xeroderma Pigmentosum Complementation Group G (XPG) protein. The XPG protein is an endonuclease which repairs DNA damage caused by ultraviolet light (UV light). The XPG protein repairs DNA by a process called, Nucleotide excision repair. Mutations in the protein commonly cause Xeroderma Pigmentosum which often lead to skin cancer.

Function
The function of the internal XPG (XPG-I) domain contains many of cysteine and glutamate amino acid residues that are frequently found in various enzyme active sites, DNA nucleases. The I domain, together with the N-terminal forms the catalytic domain that contains the active site.

Mechanism
XPG cleaves the 5'-overhanging flap structure that is generated when DNA polymerase encounters the 5'-end of a downstream Okazaki fragment. It has both 5'endo-/exonuclease and 5'-pseudo-Y-endonuclease activities. Cleaves the junction between single and double-stranded regions of flap DNA. The endonuclease binds 2 magnesium ions per subunit, which probably participate in the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme. May bind an additional third magnesium ion after substrate binding.

Meanwhile, Leeza's manipulative aunt, Fareedha (Mariyam Shakeela) grasps the opportunity to convince Aroosha to accept Leeza as the second wife of Nihan. However, things take an unexpected turn, when Leeza takes control of their marriage and Nihan prioritizes Leeza over Aroosha.

what is it called to use the term "pretty good"?

compound adjective
Pretty good is a compound adjective made from adverb + adjective. It's compound because it's a multiword form. Pretty here means by a high degree, similar to really, not like it's adjectival use in pretty woman.

 * @ I revived the Hermes Conrad page as he is one of the seven primary characters on Futurama and with the page being deleted, I did not see any Futurama articles with a description of Hermes. At the time, Hermes was the only main character without a page. Nonetheless, after taking a better look at the Hermes page and that of the other main characters, I agree with you now. However, instead of simply redirecting to the general list of characters, I propose that we could merge the other Futurama characters pages into one, such as merging the Hermes page with Amy Wong, Zoidberg, and Hubert J. Farnsworth into something like Other primary characters on Futurama, as the other three characters don't seem to have enough notability either (discuss here). The articles for Philip J. Fry, Bender (Futurama), and Leela (Futurama) seem to have enough notability, however. --WuTang94 (talk) 22:35, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't think "Other primary characters on Futurama" sounds like a workable title. Better we merge those three articles and List of Futurama characters into List of recurring Futurama characters and revamp it as a reformed "List of Futurama characters". FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 02:15, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Seems like a possible solution however Other primary characters on Futurama sounds clunky possibly Secondary characters on Futurama?Spy-cicle (talk) 18:26, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * That could work as well, though I've also received some feedback that we could simply expand List of Futurama characters to have detailed descriptions of the secondary characters, in addition to having short descriptions of the three primary characters and links to their page. I've started working on that section and copied about 95% of the content in Hermes' current page to that section. Might also do the same to Amy, Professor, and Zoidberg. --WuTang94 (talk) 18:43, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * { That seems to be like a good solution. Spy-cicle (talk) 19:00, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect per the previous AfDs. The article still fails to establish notability. TTN (talk) 11:36, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Simply redirecting to that page without providing at least one or two paragraphs won't do much good, though it's looking more likely that Hermes will be redirected there. I'll work on a section on List of Futurama characters that more adequately describes the main and supporting characters, including Hermes. --WuTang94 (talk) 15:34, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Title Change?
I think the title of this article is incorrect. I think the name of the park is Dunns Creek State Park (not simply Dunns Creek). Martek (talk) 18:59, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

The page Dunns Creek should not be re-directed to Dunns Creek State Park. The park is alongside Dunns Creek -- from which it gets its name -- but the creek extends both southward and northward beyond the edges of the park, and it has other places bordering it on both sides. The creek itself is a local geographic feature whereas the park is just a preserve set aside from development along part of the creek.
