SOME FAMOUS PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS

Morley’s Theorem, Pick’s Theorem, The Butterfly Problem. Here are three well-known problems, with clear and detailed solutions at the high school level. These proofs are by Gilbert Kessler, and are based on appropriate parts of other more complicated proofs.

[1] Morley’s Theorem. The intersection points of adjacent angle-trisectors of any triangle form an equilateral triangle.

The overall approach will be to use the Law of Sines in ∆AFB to get AF, then use the Law of Cosines in ∆AFE to get FE. Mix well with bits of Geometry, Trigonometry, Identities, and Symmetry, and we’re done! But it’s all clear, detailed, understandable, and only uses high school math.

To start, we will need three small theorems (the first of which is standard), and a lot of straightforward trigonometry.

(1a) If a triangle is inscribed in a circle of diameter d, any side is d times the sine of the opposite angle. (1b) If a triangle is inscribed in a circle of diameter 1, any side is the sine of the opposite angle.

PROOF: Inscribe triangle STU in a circle of diameter d; draw diameter SO, meeting the circle at T', and draw T'U, noting that angles T and T' are equal and angle T'US is a right angle. Then t/d = sin T' = sin T, or t/sin T = d [this approach leads directly to the (Extended) Law of Sines]. Thus t = d sin T = sin T when d = 1. Note that no circle need be pictured for the relationship t = d sin T  to hold.

(2) Let a, b, and c be positive angles whose sum is 60°. Later we will need a relationship among the quantities a, 60° + b, and 60° + c, so we will establish that now. Consider a triangle whose angles are a, 60° + b, and 60° + c; note that their sum is 180°. Circumscribe a circle around that triangle, and expand (or contract) it until the diameter of the circle is 1; this does not affect the size of those angles. Then, from (1b), the sides of the triangle are now sin a, sin (60° + b), and sin (60° + c). Applying the Law of Cosines to the triangle, we get sin²a = sin²(60° + b) + sin²(60° + c) - 2 sin (60° + b) sin (60° + c) cos a.

(3) A strange identity: We will show that 4 sin c sin (60° + c) sin (60° - c) = sin 3c

Expanding the left side, it easily becomes 4 sin c (sin²60° cos²c - cos²60° sin²c), and putting in values for the functions of 60° and simplifying, the left side becomes  sin c (3 cos2c - sin2c).

Expanding the right side, we get sin 3c = sin (2c + c) = sin 2c cos c + cos 2c sin c = (2 sin c cos c) cos c + (cos2c - sin2c) sin c, which easily becomes sin c (3 cos2c - sin2c). Thus the identity is established.

Now for Morley’s Theorem [See diagram, note that a + b + c must = 60°, and let d be the diameter of the circumscribed circle of ∆ABC].

(4) In ∆ABF,    [note that ∠AFB and (a+b) are supplementary]; thus

AF =  =   {from (1a)}     =

{from (3)}      = 4d sin b sin c sin (60° + c)

(5) Similarly (or by symmetry), we can show that AE = 4d sin b sin c sin (60° + b)

(6) Finally, we apply the Law of Cosines to ∆AFE, getting

FE2 = AF2 + AE2 - 2•AF•AE cos a. Substituting from the above equations, squaring and factoring, leads to

FE2 = 16d2 sin2b sin2c [sin2(60° + c) + sin2(60° + b) - 2 sin (60° + c) sin (60° + b) cos a]

= {from (2)} 16d2 sin2b sin2c sin2a, whereupon

FE = 4d sin a sin b sin c !

Since this equation is symmetric in a, b, and c, we get the exact same result when finding DF and DE, so ∆DEF is equilateral! --

[2] Pick’s Theorem. [In what follows, points will refer to lattice points only, and polygons (including specific ones, such as “rectangle” or “triangle”) will refer to lattice polygons only.]

If a polygon P has b points along its boundary and c points contained within its boundary, then its area AP is given by  AP =.

We will use the definitions: A simple polygon is a polygon whose sides do not cross each other, and which contains no “holes.” A lattice polygon is a simple polygon whose vertices are lattice points.

Assumption: Any lattice polygon with more than 3 sides has an internal diagonal. This is obvious for convex polygons, but perhaps not for concave ones.

We will show that Pick’s Theorem works for any [lattice] rectangle whose sides are parallel to the axes, then for any right triangle whose legs are parallel to the axes, then for any triangle, then for any polygon.

(1) We begin by showing that Pick’s Theorem is additive when applied to any two non-overlapping polygons that share a side [that is, if non-overlapping polygons P and Q share a side, and the Theorem applies to P and Q separately, then it applies to P∪Q].

•	Any points originally contained in P or Q separately are still contained points in P∪Q.

•	Any boundary points other than those on the shared side are still boundary points of P∪Q.

•	If there are k lattice points on the shared side, other than its ends, they were boundary points of P and of Q when those areas were considered separately, so they originally contributed [see Theorem] the value of    to the area of P and     to the area of Q; when looking at P∪Q, these points become contained points, so they contribute [see Theorem] the value of k to the area of P∪Q (equivalent to the total of their original contributions).

•	When P and Q were considered separately, the two endpoints of that shared side each originally contributed the value of ½ to the area of P (that totals 1) and ½ to the area of Q (that’s another 1), for a total of 2. These two pairs of points coincide when looking at P∪Q, and now contribute (as two border points) the total value of only ½ + ½ = 1. We seem to have lost 1 from the total area when uniting P and Q. But the Theorem originally subtracted 1 when finding each separate area (for a total of 2 subtracted); now we only subtract 1 when finding the area of P∪Q, so we have gained back that lost 1.

•	Thus the area produced by the Theorem when applied to P by itself (AP) + the area produced by the Theorem when applied to Q by itself (AQ) is equal to the area produced by the Theorem when applied to the union of P and Q (AP∪Q). That is, if non-overlapping polygons P and Q share a side, then AP∪Q = AP + AQ. Also notice that given two such adjacent polygons, if the Theorem applies to their union and also applies to one of the polygons, it must apply to the other polygon [simply subtract AP from both sides]. Thus the Theorem is both additive and subtractive.

(2) Consider a rectangle whose sides are parallel to the axes, with two adjacent sides r and s. Our usual formula gives the area as rs. The number of contained points is (r - 1)(s - 1), and the number of boundary points is  2(r - 1) + 2(s - 1) + 4, so the Theorem produces A =   = rs. Thus the Theorem applies to any rectangle whose sides are parallel to the axes.

(3) Consider a right triangle whose legs are parallel to the axes, and whose hypotenuse passes through k lattice points other than its ends; if the legs are r and s, our usual area formula gives the area as. Now note that if we were to complete a rectangle of sides r and s, the number of contained points in it would be (r - 1)(s - 1), and this would include k; thus the contained points in the original triangle would be 1/2 of [(r - 1)(s - 1) - k]. The Theorem, applied to the triangle, produces A =  =  , which equals. Thus the Theorem applies to any right triangle whose legs are parallel to the axes.

(4) Consider any triangle. By enclosing it in a rectangle (as small as possible preferred) whose sides are parallel to the axes, and drawing the proper horizontal and vertical lines from the vertices of the triangle to the sides of the rectangle, we see that the large rectangle is composed of the original triangle plus a number of rectangles and right triangles. By subtracting these small rectangles and right triangles from the large rectangle, one by one, we see that the Theorem must apply to the original triangle. Thus the Theorem applies to any triangle.

(5) Since any quadrilateral can be split into two triangles by drawing an internal diagonal [see our Assumption], the additive property of the Theorem shows that it applies to any quadrilateral. A diagonal splits a pentagon into a quadrilateral and a triangle; a diagonal splits a hexagon into a pentagon and a triangle, or two quadrilaterals. Using an Inductive process, if we assume that the Theorem applies to any polygon of 3, 4, ..., n-1 sides, it must apply to a polygon of n sides by splitting that polygon (with a single internal diagonal) into two polygons of fewer than n sides each and applying the additive property. [Note: If those two polygons have x and y sides respectively, then n = x + y - 2; clearly both x and y must be less than n.] Thus the Theorem applies to any polygon.

NOTE: There is no 3-D analog to Pick’s Theorem for finding the volume of a lattice polyhedron; this can be seen by considering the pyramid with vertices ((0,0,0), (1,0,0), (0,1,0), and (0,0,r) [where r is an integer]. Other than its four vertices, it has no boundary or contained lattice points, but its volume changes as r changes. --

[3] The Butterfly Problem.

Given: Chord AMB, with AM ≅ BM, and any chords CME and DMF [Let CF and DE meet AB at P and Q, respectively]

Prove: PM ≅ QM

Draw segments EB, EG (|| BA), GM, GP, GA, GF and mark angles 1, 2, 3, 4.

[a] Get ∆MAG ≅ ∆MBE (sas) AM ≅ BM (given) Arc AG = arc BE (parallel chords intercept equal arcs) Arc AGE = arc BEG (after adding arc GE to each of above) ∠A ≅ ∠B (inscribed angles with equal arcs) AG ≅ BE (equal arcs have equal chords) ∆MAG ≅ ∆MBE (sas)

[b] Get ∆PMG ≅ ∆QME ∠AMG ≅ ∠BME and MG ≅ ME	We just need ∠1 congruent to ∠2 to get ∆PMG ≅ ∆QME We see that ∠3 ≅ ∠2, so we must get ∠3 ≅ ∠1

[c] Show that PMGF is cyclic ∠PFG is supp to ∠4 (from cyclic quad CFGE) But ∠4 ≅ ∠BME (from parallel lines) ≅ ∠AMG (see above) Therefore ∠PFG is supplementary to ∠AMG Therefore PMGF is cyclic

Now ∠3 ≅ ∠1 (inscribed angles with same arc) But ∠3 ≅ ∠2 (inscribed angles with same arc), so ∠1 ≅ ∠2 ∆PMG ≅ ∆QME (asa) PM ≅ QM!

Cookbook:Tablespoon

| Equipment

A tablespoon is a unit of measure equal to 1/16 cup, 3 teaspoons, or 1/2 fluid ounce in the USA. It is either approximately or (in some countries) exactly equal to 15 ml.

"Tablespoon" may be abbreviated as T (note: uppercase letter), tbl, tbs or tbsp.

A typical large dinner spoon is about 1 tablespoon in size. It is not often the case, but some might consider the dinner spoon as the one used towards a normal bowl of soup or cereal. At any rate, it is not to be confused with a regular spoon for the amount of 1 tablespoon is a bit larger than a regular one.

The seldom-used imperial (post-1824 British) tablespoon is defined to be approximately 17.8 ml, which is about 20% larger than the Queen Anne tablespoon used in the USA. Thus, the Queen Anne (USA) tablespoon is 5/6 the size of the British one. The Australian (metric) tablespoon is even bigger, at 20 ml, while the teaspoon remains at 5 ml to give 4 teaspoons per tablespoon instead of the 3 teaspoons used elsewhere.

Josephine Briggs

Josephine P. Briggs is an American nephrologist and director emeritus of the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (formerly the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine), an agency of the National Institutes of Health. She is currently the editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.

Early life and education
Briggs was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada to a physicist father. She has two brothers. Her family moved to the United States when she was five, and she became an American citizen at age eleven. She excelled at math, physics and other sciences in high school.

Briggs received her bachelor's degree from Radcliffe College in 1966 in biology. She received her M.D. from Harvard Medical School in 1970. She then completed a residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in clinical nephrology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. She did her postdoc at Yale School of Medicine and worked at the University of Munich for six years as a research scientist.

Career
In 1985 Briggs joined the faculty of the University of Michigan, where she was a full professor in the department of nephrology from 1993 to 1997. In 1997, she joined the National Institutes of Health as director of the Division of Kidney, Urologic and Hematologic Diseases at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. In 2006 she became a senior scientific officer at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, a position she held until 2008 when she was appointed director of the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). In October 2017, she retired from her position as director of the NCCIH; she was replaced by acting director David Shurtleff.

Views
As of 2009 Briggs did not use alternative medicine in her practice. In 2010, a NCCAM-funded study was published which found that echinacea was not effective in the treatment of the common cold. Briggs reacted to the study by saying that the center does not intend to fund any more research into echinacea. In 2012, Briggs told The Washington Post that massage appeared to be an effective treatment for back pain. In 2014, in response to an announcement that the US government would spend millions of dollars on studying pain in members of the military, Briggs said that "The need for non-drug treatment options [for pain] is a significant and urgent public health imperative".

William Ball (Shropshire Giant)

William Ball (1795–1852), the "Shropshire Giant", was a nineteenth-century iron puddler and "giant".

He was born in June 1795 at Horsehay, Great Dawley, Shropshire where he would live for his whole life. His exact date of birth is unrecorded, but he was baptised on 8 July. He was the first son of five children born to Thomas and Elizabeth Ball of Horsehay.

As an adult he was 5 ft tall and weighed more than forty stone (560 pounds, 254 kg). It was said that his "waistcoat was so big that three men could be buttoned into it".

In September 1819, aged 24, he married Mary Bailey. They had two children, Eliza (1823–1824) and Thomas (1824–1839). In 1824, both his wife and daughter died. Thomas also died young, at fifteen. Next year, 1825, he married Margaret Wood (1790–c.1850), who bore him no children.

He was known locally as a cheerful man with a very pleasing disposition.

Ironworker
From the age of eight he was employed in the Coalbrookdale Company's Horsehay Ironworks, where he continued for forty years (to 1843). He worked mostly as a puddler and later as a shingler.

Puddling is a skilled and extremely strenuous job, requiring great physical strength. 'Big Billy Ball' was immensely strong, on one occasion reputedly lifting a piece of iron weighing nearly 9 Lcwt to place under the forge hammer. In the 1841 census he gave his occupation as a forgeman.

In 1843 he was accidentally blinded in one eye when it was struck by a piece of molten iron. After this he always wore a pair of glass goggles. He also ceased working in the ironworks.

John Bull
After he left the ironworks he exhibited himself around county fairs as "The Largest Man in Britain", appearing under the pseudonym 'John Bull'.

1850 saw the birth of Alfred Darby II, a descendant of the Darby family, which was to be celebrated by a procession. He was chosen to lead this procession on horseback, along with 'Little Bennie Poole', the smallest man working at the Coalbrookdale Company, riding a pony. Because of his size, he had to be hoisted onto his horse with a block and tackle, with a cry of, "Dunno yo drop me!". Afterwards the horse was so injured that it had to be destroyed.

In the 1851 census of 30 April, he is listed but without specifying an occupation.

The Great Exhibition
He was invited, as both a guest and a celebrity exhibit, to The Great Exhibition of 1851 in London. As no passenger seat on the train to London was big enough for him, he travelled in the guard's van. This was to be his last major public appearance.

Some Birmingham businessmen were said to have teased him about his size: they asked him how much material would be needed and what the cost would be to make him a suit, but after he quipped that if they would take him to a tailor, have him measured and pay for a suit, he would give them the information they wanted, they didn't bother him anymore.

He did not enjoy his experience of London and was the target of thieves. He left wishing never to return and had no wish to travel from Horsehay again.

Death
He died the year after his appearance at The Great Exhibition, in June 1852, aged 57.

On his death, he had to be taken from his home in Sandy Bank Row, Horsehay by removing a window and the surrounding brickwork. It took ten strong men to carry the coffin, with straps and poles. It was said to be so large that "ten lads were able to lie in it". Although the funeral at St Luke's Church in Doseley was attended by a large crowd, he was buried in an unmarked grave.

What is Technology Education?
A definition of technology can be taken from any technology curriculum, but what it means to each individual is dependent on one's understanding of technology.

Below are some teachers' understanding of technology:

 * Technology teaches communication, problem solving, finding solutions (based on informed choices), time and self management. Technology reinforces the fact that there are often many solutions to problems.
 * Ricardo Miller

 * Technology is a process whereby learners identify a need or opportunity. Through the acquisition of knowledge they apply their skills. It stimulates critical thinking and creativity.
 * Averil Nolly

 * It is about using the relevant skills, knowledge, and creativity making a contribution to address the problem in a particular situation by making use of necessary materials. It is a technique of doing something to solve a particular problem.
 * Nonzali Mzizi

 * Technology is about applying the knowledge and skills which was acquired to meet certain needs and wants of society.
 * Cheryl Jafta

 * Engaging in a process (Investigate, design, make and evaluate) to solve human needs and wants.
 * Deon Khan

The RNCS does not say what I must do!
This sets the stage for a basic differentiation between a curriculum and a syllabus...

(TECHNOLOGY Revised National Curriculum Statement (RNCS)) A curriculum states in general terms concepts, skills, attitudes & awareness that should be developed, whilst, a syllabus is specific about what exactly must be developed e.g. a curriculum might say manipulative skills, while a syllabus might say cutting.

The RNCS is a curriculum statement, not a syllabus.

In each of the learning outcomes assessment standards spells out the minimum that a learner should be able to do and know at any particular grade level. What it says are the key concepts and ideas that should be developed. These can be developed through activities that are relevant to the concept of idea. Minimum does not preclude learners functioning at levels higher that those for a specific grade. Many of the assessment standards have some text within brackets. These texts are prefaced with; such as,  e.g.  and some are not prefaced. Interpretation of these texts will depend largely on whether the reader analyses it linguistically, technically, or emotively. Whatever the approach, it must not detract from the core requirement of the assessment standard.

The development of technology in the RNCS through the assessment standards suggests an approach which can be summed up thus:

 * FP - craft-like in the approach to projects focus on the developing of manipulative skills
 * IP - some elements of reproduction and/or adapting of existing products focus on development of cognitive skills while further developing manipulative skills
 * SP - more innovative  no reproduction    focus on the honing of manipulative and specific skills   greater emphasis on creative and lateral thinking.

Teaching and learning in Technology must be aimed at developing Technological Literacy so that learners are empowered to cope with the challenges of a technological society. As all developments are manifested through economic, political, social and environmental context there is a need for an understanding of the interconnections between technology, society and the environment. Inherent in the development towards technological literacy is Technological Capability. In the South African technology curriculum, the development of the skills associated with problem solving lies at the heart of capability.

What are these Learning Outcomes about?
The Learning Outcomes in the Technology Learning Area are interrelated statements that state in broad terms the facets that are considered vital to develop technological literacy in learners. The three outcomes focus on the following:

Learning Outcome 1
The learner is able to apply technological processes and skills ethically and responsibly using appropriate Information and communication Technologies

This outcome is a SKILLS outcome. The technological process is a way of doing something (like the scientific process skills). When a learner does technology he/she is demonstrating the ability to do the skill. But the outcome talks of Process and Skill this refers to the stages of the process (South African) which are: Investigate Design, Make, Evaluate and Communicate. Each of these stages has skills associated with them, viz:
 * Investigate: the skills of Finding out.
 * Design: the skills of Planning / Decision making.
 * Make: the skills of Making / Manufacturing.
 * Evaluate: the skills of Reflecting / Checking.
 * Communicate: the skills of Communication.

Learning Outcome 2
The learner is able to understand and apply relevant technological knowledge ethically and responsibly.

This outcome is about the Content (South African) through which we do our technology. It states the Knowledge and Understanding in the areas that form the focus of our studies. These are; Structures, Processing, and Systems & Control. Each of these are have information (knowledge) associated with them, but acquiring knowledge on its own is of no use unless there is an understanding of it. It is Very Important to note that the knowledge is written in as concepts. Refer to the section on /Key Concepts/ to gain a better understanding of what is required in terms of these areas.

Learning Outcome 3
The learner is able to demonstrate an understanding of the inter-relationships between technology, society and the environment.

This outcome is about the interrelationship between Science & Technology and Society. It is designed to provide opportunities to develop Awareness of and opportunities to come up with strategies to address situations. This outcome is by far the Most Powerful of the outcomes because it gives us reasons for doing Technology. This outcome can provide the context and situations / scenarios for technology modules / projects. Technology exist because of us (our needs, wants and aspirations, to fix the things we do wrong and improve on the things we do right) and Technology is for us (to make our lives easier and comfortable). It is also important to note that this outcome is Exactly the same in the Natural Science learning area.

/Key Concepts/
The key concepts are the results of the lead teachers analysis of all the assessment standards. It talks to the key aspects that need to be addressed in each outcome at any grade level.

 * Grade 4
 * Grade 5
 * Grade 6
 * Grade 7
 * Grade 8
 * Grade 9

/Modules/
Our modules are complete units of work that contain a series of enabling activities / tasks and a challenge.

Each of these modules is designed to provide the learner with an opportunity to apply knowledge and skills in an authentic situation.

 * Processing Grade 8/9
 * Mechanical Systems Grade 9
 * Structures Grade 5
 * Structures Grade 8

/Activities/
The activities have been designed to develop specific knowledge & associated skills that form the core of the assessment standards of the various grades. These must not be considered, nor taken to be "technology" - They are only enabling activities designed specifically to assist you with ideas for the development of concepts, what needs to be taught, learnt, so that learners have a chance at success when engaging in technology. The activities are not contextualised in any module as such and are not about making a product, as our focus is on the development of concepts.

Introduction to Programming/Numeric Variables

Integer variables
Integer values and variables are exact representations of numbers from the mathematical set of integers. The range of values that can be stored is finite and is determined by the size of the memory location used. Unsigned integers can store only positive numbers and 0. Signed integers can store both positive and negative numbers. Signed integers are stored using a format called two's complement and have a range that is roughly symmetrical and centered on 0.

 * Reading Assignment: Two's complement (Wikipedia article)

Most strongly typed programming languages support a variety of integer types. Java, for example has five.

Although Java does not generally use unsigned types, it does have the char type (short for character), an unsigned two byte integer. Many programming languages treat characters as integers. In C, for example, 'A' is not really a capital letter A but the numeric value 65 and the numeric expression 'C'—'A' is a perfectly valid calculation with the value 2. When reading input or writing output, the numeric value of a character variable is converted to or from the corresponding text character.

Integer literals
In most programs, the programmer will need to give the program information. In this C like construct:

int numberOfMonths = 12;

The programmer declares a variable of type int, giving it the name "numberOfMonths", and initializes it with the value 12. The value 12 is an example of an integer literal. The exact rules for integer literals vary from language to language but most generally, they may start with a sign (the plus character '+' is redundant, but allowed) followed by a sequence of digits. A decimal point is not permitted. The presence of a decimal point is one thing that differentiates integer literals from floating point literals.

Integer Calculations
Calculations involving integers can be as simple as 1 + 1 or as complicated as anything that the programmer can imagine but the rules are fairly straightforward and should be moderately familiar to anyone who has had high school algebra.

"1 + 1" is an example of an integer expression—so called because the final answer that the computer gets for the calculation is an integer. In this example, there are two operands (integer literals in this case) and an operator, the plus character. The process of performing the calculation is called evaluating the expression and the answer is the result or the value of the expression.

Every programming language that supports integers has, at a minimum, four integer operators—one each for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Some languages, such as Pascal, have an exponent operator. Some languages, such as C++, allow a programmer to define new operators.

Of the four standard operators, the one that can cause the most trouble is division. What is 3 divided by 2? The answer that you get will depend on the language and the operator. In some languages (Java, C, C++), if both operands are integers, the result will be integer and so 3 / 2 will be 1. In some languages (Pascal), there are different operators for integer division and floating point division and so 3 / 2 is 1.5 (and not an integer) but 3 div 2 is 1.

Operator Precedence
In pretty much all languages that support integer expressions, some operators are evaluated before others. In high school algebra, everyone learns that multiplication and division are done before addition and subtraction—unless there are parentheses involved. The rules that dictate which operations are performed first is called precedence.

Parentheses have the highest precedence. The exact order after that depends on what operators are supported by the language—many programming languages have a variety of operators.

What about operators of equal precedence? In math, it doesn't matter what order 1 + 2 + 3 is evaluated in, but in a computer, for some expressions, it does. Every programming language will also have rules for associativity—the direction in which a given order associates. Addition generally associates left-to-right, so the expression 1 + 2 + 3 would be evaluated (1 + 2) + 3.

Now, look at this code: int i = 5; int j = 7; int k;

k = i + (j * 3) * 4;

How many operators are in the last line? Yes, the equal sign is an operator, so there are four.

Most programming languages have an assignment operator that causes the value calculated on the right side to be stored in the memory location identified by the variable on the left side. This process is known as assignment.

In most programming languages where there is an assignment operator, they have a lower precedence than addition and subtraction. Also, they associate from right to left. The expression a = b = c would associate a = (b = c)

It is a good idea to study the precedence and association rules for each programming language that you learn.

Review of Concepts
The following terms were introduced in this learning activity:

 * assignment – the process of storing a value into the memory location identified by a variable
 * assignment operator – the character sequence in a given programming language that directs the computer to perform an assignment
 * associativity – the rules that define the order in which two adjacent operators of equal precedence are evaluated (see also precedence)
 * evaluation – the process where the computer performs the calculation called for by an operator upon its operands
 * operator – a sequence of one or more characters that directs the computer to perform some kind of activity, such as a calculation, usually involving a number of values, called operands
 * precedence – the rules that define when one operator is evaluated before another (also see associativity)
 * signed integer – an integer variable that can store both positive and negative numbers
 * two's complement – the binary form that is used for storing negative integers
 * unsigned integer – an integer variable that can store only zero and positive numbers

Exercise: Integer Variables
Now would be a good time to see how integers, integer constants and integer expressions are handled in an actual programming language.

David Patrick Chalmers

Sir David Patrick Chalmers was a British colonial judge who served as the first Chief Justice of the Gold Coast from 1876 until 1878. He also had judiciary appointments in other British colonies like the Gambia Colony, British Guiana, Colony of Jamaica and Newfoundland colony.

Early life and career
Chalmers was born in 1835. He was a student of the Edinburgh Institution and the University of Edinburgh. In 1860, he was called to the Scottish Bar and sworn in as Magistrate of Gambia in 1867, with full powers as Judge. He was appointed first Chief Justice of the Gold Coast in 1876 and was knighted the same year. He became Chief-Justice of British Guiana (now Guyana) in 1872.

He was the Royal Commissioner mandated to investigate the Sierra Leone revolt in 1898 which was a result of a hut tax repelled by the ruling chiefs because they were bypassed when the country's protectorate status was proclaimed in 1896 by the British. In 1893, He also served on a Judicial Commission of Enquiry in Jamaica. He also preceded over fraud cases in 1897 at Newfoundland.

Death
He died in Liberton south of Edinburgh on 5 August 1899. He is buried at the Dean Cemetery in west Edinburgh. The grave lies in the first north extension against the south wall.

Peter Wright (squash player)

Peter David William Wright (born 11 March 1943) is an Australian born Squash Champion and sports administrator/entrepreneur.

Wright won the World Masters Squash Championships three times. In addition, he has been Australian, New Zealand and Victorian Masters Squash Champion.

Described as an “outstanding administrator", he was Tournament Director for the 1995 and 2001 World Masters Squash Championships held in Melbourne, and, inter alia, for the Australian Masters Squash Association and the Victorian Masters Squash Association.

Early life
Wright was born in Sunshine, Victoria in the middle of World War II. His father, David Stanley Wright was a munitions worker and his mother was Lorna Edna Wright (nee Martin). His life time sports career began in his home suburb of Sunshine where he played in many junior competitive sports. At 15 he joined the Sunshine Park Tennis Club and sometime before 1962 the Sunshine Squash Club. Wright suffered “terribly” from asthma as a youngster, but his asthma went away when he began playing squash.

Kerville states that Wright has always believed deeply in the benefits of sport for every human being. Wright further believes that all persons, including lower grades and "oldies", particularly benefit from the competitive and social side of squash and any kind of sport.

Sporting career
Peter Wright has been three times World Masters Squash Champion. His victories were in 1985 in Toronto, Canada, in 1993 in the over 50s division in Edinburgh, Scotland, and in 1999 in the over 55 division Sheffield, England. He was runner-up in 1989 in Arhus in Denmark, in 1994 in Brisbane, Australia, in 1995 and 2001 in Melbourne, Australia.

 * Australian Masters Squash Champion five times.
 * Australian Masters Games Squash Champion four times.
 * New Zealand Masters Squash Champion five times
 * Victorian Masters Squash Champion six times.
 * Represented Australia twelve times in World Master’s Team events.

Career as an Administrator
Notwithstanding his outstanding sporting achievements Peter Wright is far better known for his organising and administrative flair and ability. Authoritatively described as “highly regarded throughout world squash as an outstanding sporting administrator”.

For 34 years (1986–2020) he has been –

 * President of the Australian Masters Squash Association
 * Tournament Director for the 1995 and 2001 World Masters Squash Championships held in Melbourne

Cookbook:Samphire

Samphire, or Rock Samphire, is an edible wild plant found in coastal regions of mainland Britain.

Its fleshy, divided, aromatic leaves have long been regarded as a delicacy in Norfolk. It is now appearing as a garnish in London restaurants or can be used a starter. The flavour is highly reminiscent of asparagus hence samphire is sometimes referred to as "Poor Man's Asparagus." It is often sold by fishmongers when in season (from late spring). Well worth trying, if you can find it.

Early crops can be eaten raw, but in a later harvest, the leaves will be tougher and slightly bitter. To prepare them for the table, trim away the hard root, wash the leaves and plunge them into boiling water for a few minutes. Serve with a mixture of butter and vinegar, or with butter alone. Diners pull the green flesh from a hard central stalk by dragging it through their teeth like an over-sized thread of floss.

Theory of Constraints in streamline manufacturing

Theory of constraints (TOC) is an engineering management technique used to evaluate a manageable procedure, identifying the largest constraint (bottleneck) and strategizing to reduce task time and maximise profit. It assists in determining what to change, when to change it, and how to cause the change. The theory was established by Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt through his 1984 bestselling novel The Goal. Since this time, TOC has continued to develop and evolve and is a primary management tool in the engineering industry. When Applying TOC, powerful tools are used to determine the constraint and reduce its effect on the procedure, including:

 * The Five Focusing Steps
 * The Thinking Process
 * Throughput Accounting

Although still limited by varying factors, time factors and human identification, TOC is the ideal engineering solution to increasing profit and reducing idle time in a production through its elimination of 'the weak link.'

History
Theory of Constraints is a method to determine a procedure in a sequence of procedures which has the greatest negative effect on the production line. The theory was first derived by Dr Eliyahu Goldratt through his 1984 bestselling novel, 'The Goal.' Dr Goldratt was a well-regarded educator in the construction industry, being sought-after by many large companies. In the mid 1990s, Goldratt in 2000, established Goldratt's Marketing Group to further enhance the TOC knowledge to those interested. Goldratt's Marketing Group was established to further enhance the knowledge of businesses in product production, suppliers and distributors, project managers and retail workers, further develop the quality of decision-making, improving communication and stimulating new solutions.

The theory operates with the assumption that every process has at least one influencing constraint, of which must be improved for the process to become more economic. Time spent trying to maximise processes which are not considered the bottleneck will not provide any benefits to the system. Attempting to reduce the influencing factor the bottleneck has on the entire system, will further the 'goal.' The procedure of reducing the influencing factor the bottleneck has on the system, continues as one bottleneck is minimised the attention turns to the new largest hindering procedure.

Bottleneck
In streamline manufacturing, the bottleneck is the station of a production line where greatest limiting factor lies. It is generally the station with the greatest amount of work in process at the work station. Bottlenecks often results in slow production times, surplus of raw material and low employee morale.

Nearly every manufacturing system initially has a bottleneck. It is critical to be able to determine the procedure in the production line which is the limiting factor. Generally the station which has accumulated the largest amount of WIP can be considered the Bottleneck, however other engineering management techniques can be applied to determine the bottle neck.

Application
There are several practiced techniques applied to streamline manufacturing to reduce and or eliminate the constraining factor in the system. The methods applied to the systems all are designed to isolate the constraint, break it down into its components and find a suitable solution to reducing the negative impact the station has on the entire system. The thinking processes as well as the identification of the bottleneck is conducted in different manners. The four most common practiced techniques include; Five Focusing Steps, Thinking Process, Throughput Accounting and the Drum-Buffer-Effect.

Five Focusing Steps
The five focusing steps of TOC is an ideal approach to identifying the bottleneck and the correct procedure to reduce the impact keeping in mind the 'goal.' The five focusing steps are:
 * 1) Identify the Constraint
 * 2) Exploit the Constraint
 * 3) Subordinate the Constraint
 * 4) Elevate the Constraint
 * 5) Repeat the Process

Identify the Constraint
The first step is to determine which process in the system is increasing the procedures overall throughput. Indicators of the bottleneck in the system will have accumulated a large amount of work in progress (WIP) and will have a higher average cycle time.

Exploit the Constraint
Exploiting the constraint is the procedure of quickly improving the current bottleneck with minimal disruption to the production line. Common rapid relief techniques include: Improvements in these fields will have a quick solution to improvement of the constraint which will result in improved throughput
 * Inventory buffers
 * Quality check
 * Continuous operation
 * Schedule around bottleneck
 * Offload constraint work

Subordinate to the Constraint
This step focuses on techniques to mitigate impact from upstream or downstream processes which may further delay the operations of the bottleneck. Techniques include:
 * Drum-Buffer-Rope
 * Subordinate maintenance
 * Added sprint capacity
 * Operations pace

Elevate the Constraint
In this step, actions are taken to break the constraints by the implementation of larger changes to improve the bottleneck. These changes usually include a large investment of time and or money. Techniques used include:
 * Use of performance data
 * Single-Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) program
 * Design improvements
 * Purchase additional equipment/staff

Repeat the Process
Once the initial steps of the Five Focusing Steps have been executed, the bottleneck of focus should no longer be the hindering process of the system. The implementation of the Five Focusing Steps is not used for one off improvement but for continuous improvements to the process. If the bottleneck has been broken, the next step is to repeat the focusing steps for the new bottleneck. If the bottleneck has not been broken, a new approach needs to be taken, including verifying that the investigated constraint has correctly been identified as the bottleneck.

Thinking Process
The thinking process in TOC, are tools used to determine, and fixing a problem in a system. In streamline processing it is a fundamental approach to always be striving to improve processes, eliminate bottlenecks and reduce manufacturing time. A common approach is to answer the following questions:
 * What should I change?
 * What should It change to?
 * How to cause the change?

Asking these questions when faced with a problem in a production line, will offer a range of solutions simultaneously to improve the current situation. The thinking process allows a smooth transition through the layers of the process to be able to adapt a more suitable method to improve the manufacturing system.

Throughput Accounting
Throughput accounting (TA) is a simple management accounting technique providing managers with information support to make profitable decisions for their system. It is an alternative method to traditional cost accounting, in which limiting factors in a system are identified and simple solutions are adapted to move towards reaching the businesses goal. The actions of throughput accounting maximize the net profit from a system in the shortest amount of time, with limited resources and limited expenditures.

Throughput accounting uses through methods in dealing with income and expenses in a system

Throughput (T) is the rate at which a system can produce a unit. For profit orientated systems, throughput is considered net sales (S) minus totally variable cost (TVC).

Investment (I) is the monetary value of the system. The value of inventory, buildings, machines and other assets are considered investments.

Operating expenses (OE) is the cost of the supply chain operating to produce the unit. For a system manufacturing a physical item, the operating expense is the investment cost minus the cost of raw materials but including the cost of maintenance, rent and taxes.

Constraints and Limitations
A key process in TOC is the identification of the limiting factor in a production system to ultimately improve the production of units. A major limitation in the theory is that of identifying the station which is in fact the limiting procedure.

Identification
It is not uncommon that when applying TOC the wrong work station is being examined as the limiting station when, however this station may only be the bottleneck due to another constraining factor not being focused on. This limitation theory, may encourage the waste of resources and times on a station which may in fact not require optimizing.

Variation
Another limitation of the theory is the lack of consideration towards varying factors. Factors such as demand for a product are not directly examined when TOC is applied. If the market demand for a product is varying, the use of resources to improve the situation may be better used expanding production capacity.

Time
Time is an influential constraint when applying TOC. The theory does not consider the current time frame for the production system and the duration of the demand for the product. The theory limits itself to short-term effects on the system rather than forecasting for the future. Overcoming this constraint means examining the long-term effects of work done to improve the constraint. If findings in a short-term analysis seem to repeat they can be considered as long-term effects, therefore implementing changes may be appropriate.

I just wanted to let you know that I dug up some scholarly literature on Hurricane Willa in both English and Spanish (on the main page for this TF). Note that I haven't checked these over thoroughly (have to work soon!) and not all of them will have to be used as a result. I will get regular news source searches done later today or tomorrow. My priority will be to get Hurricane Lane's update done first since it's an older FA. Resource Request is a helpful tool for getting access to journals and reports that are not open access. I just wanted to let you know in case you had any interest in updating this article. Noah Talk 13:54, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Avé de Fátima

Avé de Fátima (English: Fátima Ave), also known as the Fátima Hymn, is a popular Roman Catholic Marian hymn. It is sung in honour of Our Lady of Fátima, a Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary based on the Marian apparitions reported in 1917 by three shepherd children at Cova da Iria, in Fátima, Portugal.

The hymn was written in August 1929 by Portuguese poet Afonso Lopes Vieira and it was first published, anonymously ("by a Servite"), in the 13 September 1929 issue of the religious periodical Voz da Fátima. Lopes Vieira had witnessed what he later identified as the Miracle of the Sun on 13 October 1917 from the balcony of his house in São Pedro de Moel (about 50 kilometers from Fátima), alongside his wife and mother-in-law. The month he wrote the hymn, August, 1929, coincides with the conclusion of a small chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Fátima that Lopes Vieira had built in the house. The original version of the Avé de Fátima, sent to José Alves Correia da Silva, Bishop of Leiria, was set to a tune by Francisco de Lacerda.

Versions
There are several versions of the hymn in use in different parts of the world; the adaptations in different languages are set to the same tune, theme, and refrain. What follows are two English-language versions:

Joe Kaeser

Joe Kaeser  (born Josef Käser; June 23, 1957) is a German manager who served as CEO of Siemens AG from 2013 to 2021.

Early life
Kaeser was born in Arnbruck, in the Bavarian Forest in West Germany, on June 23, 1957. He spent his early life in education throughout Germany. Following his studies in business administration at the Regensburg University of Applied Sciences, he joined Siemens in 1980.

Career at Siemens
Kaeser previously held various business administration management positions, including a term at the Siemens Components Operations in Malacca, Malaysia (1987–1988). In 1990 he was appointed vice president of business administration of the Opto Semiconductors Division. In 1994 Kaeser served first as executive vice president and chief financial officer, and later as CEO of the group's American subsidiary Siemens Components, located in Cupertino, California, as well as at Siemens Microelectronics, in neighboring San Jose.

In 1999 Kaeser joined Corporate Finance where he was responsible for developing a company-wide performance controlling system. During this time he also shared oversight for preparing the company's stock market listing in New York and the worldwide conversion of its accounting system to US GAAP.

From April 2001 to September 2004, Kaeser was a member of the group executive committee of IC Mobile and served as its chief financial officer, where he was especially active in managing and restructuring its finance exposure from customer loans and working capital management.

In his former function as chief strategy officer, Kaeser supported CEO Dr. Klaus Kleinfeld in the design and execution of the Fit4More transformation program, as well as the long-term orientation of the company's strategies on global megatrends.

CEO of Siemens, 2013–2021
In July 2013 it was announced that Kaeser would replace Peter Löscher as the CEO of the Siemens AG.

Since 2013, Kaeser has accompanied Chancellor Angela Merkel on a total of nine state visits abroad, including to China (2014, 2016, 2018) India (2015), Egypt (2017), Tunisia (2017), Argentina (2017), Mexico (2017) and Saudi Arabia (2017). He also travelled with Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel to the US and Mexico in 2017.

During the Hannover Messe in April 2016, Kaeser was among the 15 German CEOs who were invited to a private dinner with President Barack Obama. He was also part of Merkel's delegation on the occasion of her first visit to President Donald Trump in March 2017. At the 2018 World Economic Forum in Davos, he attended a dinner of President Trump with a group of European CEOs.

In January 2020 Kaeser along with the Siemens board of directors invited an environmental activist a role on its board as it made a decision with mining giant Adani.

Russian visit during the 2014 Crimean crisis

Kaeser traveled to Russia to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in April 2014 to re-affirm Siemens' commitment to Russian profits despite widespread international condemnation of Russian military intervention. The move was widely criticized in the Western World, including by German Chancellor Angela Merkel. However Kaeser wasn't the only one who had a more pro-Russian mood at that time; many other prominent Germans like former chancellors Helmut Schmidt and Gehard Schroeder voiced their concern for more understanding of Russia's views, including some in Merkel's own party, like Peter Gauweiler or Armin Laschet, who all faced criticism in the German Press. Later, former US Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski revealed that the former World Bank Chief Robert Zoellick aggressively pressured Kaeser due to his Russian visit. Zoellick reminded Kaeser that his company has more business in the United States than in Russia, and it would have negative consequences if he kept following the Russian path.

Later career
In 2023, EIG Global Energy Partners appointed Kaeser as Senior Advisor.

Image, etc.
Wouldn't it make more sense to use an image of what Riegle looked like when he was a Senator? Wikipedia already has one available that is used at Keating Five. Also, why isn't the Keating Five scandal mentioned in this article? john k (talk) 14:15, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Party Switch?
Were his reasons or at least stated reasons for switching really differences with Nixon over Vietnam and Civil Rights? In 1973 Vietnam would have been winding down and Nixon's civil rights positions weren't really discernible from those of most liberal Democrats at the time. Obviously politicians can say anything, but this is a pivotal issue in his career and the article could use elaboration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:55, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Donald W. Riegle Jr. → Donald Riegle – WP:COMMONNAME and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.

Common name: "Donald Riegle" senator returns nearly 16k results on Google, while "Don Riegle" senator returns 15k results and "Donald W. Riegle" senator (13k results). Also, the C-SPAN video database of Riegle shows far more instances of "Donald" in the on-screen chyrons than "Don".

In my search, I found various reasons to propose "Don" and various reasons to keep "Donald." First, reasons that swung me towards "Don Riegle":
 * My search in the Vanderbilt Television News Archive (which archives TV newscasts dating back to the '70s) finds 130 results for "Don Riegle" in contrast to 79 for "Donald Riegle." For instance, this abstract page indicates that NBC Nightly News used the "Don Riegle" name in a 1989 report about the Keating Five scandal. The same program in 1983 used "Sen. Don Riegle" in an on-screen chyron in a report about the Paul Volcker confirmation hearings.
 * Also, Riegle is OK going by "Don", as shown in this interview on NPR's Morning Edition where Ari Shapiro introduced him as "Don Riegle" to discuss Riegle's endorsement of Bernie Sanders for president in 2016.
 * A press release by the Barack Obama presidential campaign, 2008 refers to him as "Don Riegle."

However, I see more compelling reasons to pick "Donald Riegle":

 * googling "Don Riegle" site:upi.com (for United Press International stories) returned 92 results to over 450 for "Donald Riegle" site:upi.com.
 * Also, "Don Riegle" site:newspapers.com has just 3k results to "Donald Riegle" site:newspapers.com with 10k results. Newspapers.com has archives of Michigan newspapers such as Detroit Free Press.

In addition, scholarly works use "Donald", such as the book Rule and Ruin by Geoffrey Kabaservice that lists "Riegle, Donald" in its index. So I do not see "Don Riegle" as common a name for this senator as Ted Kennedy (when most C-SPAN videos used "Edward Kennedy" in chyrons), Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, etc.

Primary topic: As a US Senator for nearly 20 years, the younger Riegle is far more notable than his father Donald W. Riegle Sr., whose highest political office was two years as mayor of Flint, Michigan. Arbor to SJ (talk) 06:41, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Keighley & Worth Valley Railway

Ref confusion
There are two different refs with the same name. These are: The effect of this is that they are combined, with the text of the second one ignored. Worse, there are a number of uses of  which also become combined - it is therefore unclear which of these refer to the article "Locomotive Notes", and which to "Standard '4' Locomotive Preservation Society". -- Red rose64 (talk) 22:13, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Yanks
Why no mention of the 1979 film 'Yanks', starring no less than Richard Gere? The Americans are seen boarding a train at Keighley at zero notice hauled by the USA S160 on their way to 'D day'. The WikiPage for the film cross-mentions Keighley station. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:58, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Is it significant to the plot that Keighley was used, or could another preserved station have been used without affecting the story? More importantly, has the use of Keighley been noted by reliable third-party sources? -- Red rose64 (talk) 21:25, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Well I suppose just about anybody who has ever seen the film, and upwards of 500 actors and extras could vouch for it being Keighley. It's not just a 'sideshot' - the entire D-day embarkation scene at the end was filmed there, and it's undeniably Keighley <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:04, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It's significant to the history of UK rail preservation, because it's a rare event for a D-day film to be filmed anywhere other than the Bluebell.
 * Historically I expect this to have been an anageoism(sic): AFAIK no D-day reserve troops were billeted in Yorkshire, they were packed like sardines in the South. This has led to the predominance of the Bluebell (and the Watercress) for filming WWII military scenes, even over that other popular film location, the Nene Valley. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:21, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Well, my statement was simply that 'the end sequence of the film 'Yanks' was filmed at Keighley station'. Where Richard Gere and the other GIs got on the train, and half of the local female population turned up on the footbridge either pregnant or holding the resulting babies.  I wasn't expecting to start a WikiAnalNerd debate about World War 2.  Just watch the damned film. That scene was filmed at Keighley.  No debate, no 'citation required', it just WAS. As for 'no US troops being billeted in the North', that is just pure ignorance. Patton's fictitious deceptive FUSAG with its inflatable rubber tanks was based in the South-East, but the real invasion troops were actually based in the North and in SW England. I am from Warrington, right next to RAF Burtonwood. Warrington was an American town in 1942-43, and remained so throughout most of the cold war too.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:10, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

White Hand (Serbia)

The White Hand (Бела Рука / Bela Ruka) was a secret military organization in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later the Kingdom of Yugoslavia). It was established in order to counter the influence of the Black Hand, and relied on the People's Radical Party.

Background
The May Coup (1903) which overthrew Aleksandar Obrenović was orchestrated by Dragutin Dimitrijević (called "Apis") and his group of lower officers, among whom were Petar Živković. Petar Karađorđević was crowned King of Serbia, and in contrast to the Austrophile Obrenović dynasty, Karađorđević relied on Russia and France, which provoked rising hostility from Austria-Hungary. The conspiracy group had toppled Obrenović on the pretext of pursuing the liberation and unification of Serb lands (Pan-Serbism).

The retirement of some of the conspirators involved in the May Coup eventually led to the division of the conspiratory group into two quarrelling sides: the conspirators that stayed behind the dynasty and those who stood against it; the first was close to the court and government, the second dissatisfied. The split began in 1906, and subsequently spilled over into the Army. Serbian crown prince Aleksandar and Apis had disagreements, and Živković and Apis had a falling-out. Živković accused Apis and other members of libel. The division brought about the establishment of the Black Hand and White Hand. The dissatisfied group established Unification or Death (the Black Hand) in 1911.

History
Military officers led by Colonel Petar Živković established the White Hand organization in the Belgrade hotel "Paris", in 1912. The organization held itself as the defender of the dynasty and state from anarchy and pressures. The organization managed to attract many of Apis' opponents and indecisives. Some time prior to the abdication of Petar I, crown prince Aleksandar joined up with the White Hand and Nikola Pašić's People's Radical Party as well as high-ranking officers Josif Kostić, Pavle Jurišić Šturm, Petar Mišić, Milan Dunjić, Mirko Milisavljević and Miloje Zečević. Pašić was unsatisfied with the politics during the Balkan Wars.

With the demise of the Black Hand in the Salonika Trial (1917), the White Hand steadily gained control of the young and ambitious Prince Alexander. Živković was made the head of the Palace Guard in 1921 and started amassing power. In 1929, King Alexander I, along with officers of the White Hand orchestrated a coup in an attempt to control the growing nationalist tensions in the country (especially in Croatia) and the instability of the Parliament. Živković, now a general, was appointed Prime Minister. The autocracy was eased in 1931 when the King re-instated some constitutional rights after his reforms completely failed in their purpose, and Živković lost his position in 1932 after organizing numerous show trials against minority leaders, ultra-nationalist groups, and communists.

The members of White Hand are also suspected of being involved in the abdication of heir-apparent Prince George in favour of Alexander (1909), the installment of Alexander as a regent during the reign of Peter I, as well as the coup of 27 March 1941, which placed the underage King Peter II Karađorđević in power, effectively putting Yugoslavia in a state of war with Germany.

With the victory of the communist forces of Josip Broz Tito during Second World War, members of the White Hand were either executed by the new regime or fled abroad.
