Talk:Trafalgar Group

A dramatically large list of wrong polling calls for 2020
Trafalgar was wrong predicting the general POTUS results, along with being wrong on Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania. Biden has won by over 6 million votes and will likely get 306 electoral votes. It is my hope that these facts will be added to their "track record." Lee Nysted (talk) 20:35, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Thanks. Are there reliable sources for this? If so, we can probably add something to the article. —Granger (talk · contribs) 16:49, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election  Mx. Granger ... Maybe this will help? Lee Nysted (talk) 17:26, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Let me clarify: are there sources that analyze how accurate Trafalgar's polling was this year? It would be original research for us to do the analysis ourselves. —Granger (talk · contribs) 19:57, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Biased article?
Why does this article focus so much on the presidential race of 2016 but not on the really low number of polls & general bias of the pollster + his average to low overall accuracy? Cherry picking data has no place in an encyclopedia. 2A02:908:1084:BFE0:E593:8D79:76CD:34FA (talk) 12:56, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

 * This pollster had a series of surprisingly true predictions, which are standing out compared to competitors. They were surprising because most of the others were uniformly and consistently wrong in their predictions at the same time.

Therefore it has been compelling to highlight these unexpected firm predictions that went against the "commong wisdom" that failed en masse.
 * So, such emphasis is completely justified IMHO. Filozofo (talk) 13:16, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

This isn't a good explanation. In fact, it's absolute garbage and reinforces the point: Cherrypicking data is entirely not worthy of an encyclopedia. It would be very easy to list the 25% of times were this pollster has been wrong as opposed to most other pollsters. It makes no sense to pick a single data point, unless you are trying to push a narrative. But again, this has no place on wikipedia. 2A02:908:1084:BFE0:144E:8F19:FC88:5AFF (talk) 23:52, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

The anonymous guy is completely wrong. Everything he mentioned should just be disregarded - it is emotional and likely political.

This wiki does need some work, but it is completely correct to highlight notoriety in an encyclopedia article.

It’s not cherry-picking data. We’re not here to persuade or dissuade people. And their notoriety has been 2016 and 2018 elections.

When we critique info ourselves, things are going to be problematic. For example, despite the initial comment of low to average accuracy, Trafalgar was the top 3 in accuracy in 2016 in PA, MI, GA. When you look at aggregate accuracy and percent error, it becomes even more pronounced even in FL (Trump prediction vs actual, Hillary prediction vs actual, etc.). Suparpantz (talk) 02:38, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Trafalgar group was hilariously wrong in 2018 in determining the number of house seats, and missed the blue wave. For heavens sake, they called Kemp GA a +12 when it was only +1. I don't think it'd be a good characterization to claim that they were accurate in '18, as indicated by Harry Enten: https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/08/politics/poll-of-the-week-trumps-favorite-pollster/index.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wyxuan (talk • contribs) 00:06, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Wyxuan - that should absolutely be added to the article, in my opinion, if you have a RS. But editors need to take the reigns and actually add it, it won't add itself. Chetsford (talk) 16:50, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Being significantly below the average of most pollsters in all races and then focusing on a race where the accuracy was slightly above average is the definition of cherry-picking data. So please stop repeating the talking points and focus on the data, this is an encyclopedia, not a place where you need to push a narrative: That means stop ommiting data and at least pretend to try to stay apolitical. 2A02:908:1084:BFE0:117A:8C41:4289:8BF1 (talk) 09:23, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

No Source for Claim that FiveThirtyEight is Aligned with the Democratic Party
Hi, I reverted your edit that FiveThirtyEight is aligned with the Democratic Party as it (1) did not have any source and (2) does not seem to be true. For example, I found an article criticizing FiveThirtyEight for adopting an "ideologically neutral" method of reporting. Other media bias websites have rated them as largely fact based and either a centrist publication, or only slightly to the left of center. No sources that I located identified them as being aligned with the Democratic Party.

Unless you can find a reliable source saying that FiveThirtyEight has aligned itself with the Democratic Party, I don't think your edit is appropriate. Thanks. DocFreeman24 (talk) 14:13, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Reverted Edit Re Inclusion of 538 Rating
Hi, can you please explain why you keep deleting the reference to FiveThirtyEight's rating? I understand that you believe there are additional rating services out there and that you don't consider them authoritative, but I don't think that's a basis for removing their rating? If you'd like to add additional ratings, please of course feel free. But I don't understand the basis for removing this content. FiveThirtyEight is a fairly prominent media outlet in the polling world, so I don't really understand your objection and I think this content should be included (as both myself and another edit have reverted your edit).

PS. Sorry for reverting your last edit without leaving a comment. That was a misclick as I was writing my comment.

DocFreeman24 (talk) 00:21, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

 * The Accuracy and Performance should be based on measurable data (e.g., prior polling versus actual results). 528's letter grade of polling does nothing to help a user understand the accuracy or performance of prior polling. Instead, listing out polling versus results should be utilized. Users of Wikipedia should not be shown a letter grade to rate a pollster; they should be given the information directly. Also, 538's own page shows a 75% correct prediction by Trafalgar while other pollsters with much lower prediction percentages are given A letters. Accuracy and Performance should be based on correct predictions, not arbitrary letter grades. Also, 538 states "FiveThirtyEight’s pollster ratings are calculated by analyzing the historical accuracy of each firm’s polls along with its methodology." So, the rating also take into account methodology. Perhaps the 538 letter grade is better suited for a rating of their methodology rather than their accuracy and performance?

Homegr0wn1 (talk) 00:40, 26 October 2020 (UTC); edited after Homegr0wn1 (talk) 00:51, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Hey, thanks for having a discussion on this and I think I understand your point. I don't think I agree that "528's letter grade of polling does nothing to help a user understand the accuracy or performance of prior polling" or that 538's ratings aren't based on prior polling results.  In fact, 538's articles state that prior polling results are a significant part of their grading, along with other things like transparency of methodology, format of the type of polling used, etc. But our disagreement would seem to be a bit beside the point?  If we moved the rating to a separate section entitled "Ratings of Methodology" would that resolve your concern?  DocFreeman24 (talk) 01:32, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I think that's totally fair. Their methodology seems questionable, but they have been surprisingly accurate. So, I think that's a good resolution. Good call!

Homegr0wn1 (talk) 01:40, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Great! I'll make that edit.  Thanks for working through this with me!  DocFreeman24 (talk) 02:04, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

 * I'm glad this has been resolved. For what it's worth I agree that FiveThirtyEight's rating is worth mentioning in the article. —Granger (talk · contribs) 19:07, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Merger proposal
Robert Cahaly should be merged with Trafalgar Group. This person is not significant aside from his involvement with the Trafalgar Group. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 14:25, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep separate, each article is receiving thousands of daily hits separately. Cahaly has given many individual interviews on most of the major new sources (The New York Times, Daily Mail, Wall Street Journal, Politico, Washington Post, etc...) and is significant in his own right and it makes it much easier to find and read information about him when searching for his biographical information. He is also the individual named party in a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals case.Swampyank (talk) 15:16, 3 November 2020 (UTC) 15:13, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * But his notability is not distinct from his involvement with the Trafalgar Group. If he were not speaking as a representative of the Trafalgar Group, he wouldn't be notable. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 15:17, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * He became notable for his polling work, but many articles only name him without mentioning Trafalgar Group. He has a long history in politics prior to starting polling and I also think his role in the robocalling case establishes additional notability beyond his polling work with Trafalgar.  - <IP_ADDRESS> (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 16:08, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

 * The pollster is definitely independently from the polling firm. So much so that if a merger were to take place it eould perhaps be better the other way around. FloridaArmy (talk) 23:55, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Agree that if the merge happens, then it should be the other way around, although it seems funny enough to leave up. Consider the fact that Conservapedia is a separate article from Andrew Schlafly, even though both are awful sources for information. Andrew has a footprint outside of that joke of a project, just like Robert does. Trafalgar is a side piece, but notable enough that conspiracy theorists, such as the 45th President, used it for public gish galloping attempts. Robert has the footprint, though, that Trafalgar does not. Seems they should be separate articles, but if it happens, the group should collapse into Robert's article. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:43, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Revert removal
Reverted recent text. Don't understand why this long-standing text was removed Andre🚐 19:16, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

New York Times bias
An editor has been removing text critical of Trafalgar Group and references to the NYT, with the claim (in edit summaries) that since NYT has their own poll, they are therefore biased against Trafalgar Group. This reasoning seems specious to me; it would imply, for example, that no newspaper can report reliably about another newspaper. I don't believe we can just assume that NYT must be biased against this (and presumably all other) polling organizations without a source that says that. CodeTalker (talk) 23:27, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Original research/Theology

Theology is "the rational and systematic study of religion and its influences and of the nature of religious truth [, or] the learned profession acquired by specialized courses in religion (usually at a college or seminary".

Theoretical theology
Def. "reasoning or discussion concerning the Deity", is called theologia.

Def. "the science of things divine", is called theology.

Def. a deity, a god, God is called a theos.

Def. a "study of God, or a god, or gods, and the truthfulness of religion in general", or an "organized method of interpreting spiritual works and beliefs into practical form" is called a theology.

Holy Land
Def. that part of Asia, consisting mostly of Israel and Palestine, in which most Biblical events are set is called a Holy Land.

The Holy Land is approximately 31°N latitude.

Borneo
Aceh West Malaysia Southern Thailand North Sumatra Riau Islands Riau West Sumatra Jambi South Sumatra Bengkulu Bangka– Belitung Lampung Banten Jakarta West Java Central Java Yogyakarta West Kalimantan Central Kalimantan East Java South Kalimantan East Kalimantan Brunei Sarawak Sabah North Kalimantan Bali West Nusa Tenggara East Nusa Tenggara Mindanao Gorontalo North Sulawesi South Sulawesi West Sulawesi Central Sulawesi Southeast Sulawesi Maluku North Maluku Papua West Papua Top End Papua New Guinea

Most Dayaks appear to follow their ancient animistic religious traditions (Kaharingan), but often state to belong to one of the recognized religions in Indonesia to prevent discrimination.

The Indonesian government recognizes only six official religions, and Kaharingan is not one of them.

The main festival of Kaharingan is the Tiwah festival, which lasts for thirty days, and involves the sacrifice of many animals like buffaloes, cows, pigs and chickens, as offerings to the spirits and deities.

Ancestor worship and the belief in many supernatural beings is common.

The Dayaks’ local wisdom directs that trespassing these rules will destroy the balance of the forest and animals living in the forest, and so directly or indirectly will adversely damage communities living from the forest bounty.

Central Kalimantan is located at 2°13′S 113°55′E.

Borneo is approximately 1°N latitude. The equator passes through Borneo.

Mexico
Huitzilopochtli on the right was the patron god of the Mexica tribe. Originally he was of little importance to the Nahuas, but after the rise of the Aztecs, Tlacaelel reformed their religion and put Huitzilopochtli at the same level as Quetzalcoatl, Tlaloc, and Tezcatlipoca, making him a solar god.

North Pole
"The religions of all ancient nations ... associate the abode of the supreme God with the North Pole, the centre of heaven; or with the celestial space immediately surrounding it."

"Saturn, the old man who lives at the north pole, and brings with him to the children of men a sprig of evergreen (the Christmas tree), is familiar to the little folks under the name Santa Claus, for he brings each winter the gift of a new year."

Eastern Mediterranean Sea
"Lenormant, speaking of Rome and Olympia, remarks, "It is impossible not to note that the Capitoline was first of all the Mount of Saturn, and that the Roman archaeologists established a complete affinity between the Capitoline and Mount Cronios in Olympia, from the standpoint of their traditions and religious origin (Dionysius Halicarn., i., 34). This Mount Cronios is, as it were, the Omphalos of the sacred city of Elis, the primitive centre of its worship. It sometimes receives the name Olympos."1 Here is not only symbolism in general, but also a symbolism pointing to the Arctic Eden, already shown to be the primeval mount of Kronos, the Omphalos of the whole earth.2"

God
Def. God, in Islamic or Arabic contexts is called Allah.

"We are too much men and women; we are yet formed in the image of the Creator, and what can we say of Him with any certainty except that He, whoever He may be—Christ, Yahweh, Allah—He made us, did He not, because even He in His Infinite Perfection could not bear to be alone."

Usage notes

While the Arabic الله is used generically to refer to God in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic contexts, current English usage almost always restricts the corresponding term Allah to Islamic contexts only. Various newspaper style manuals recommend translating the Arabic word in English as God, as this better reflects Arabic usage, but the term is often left untranslated in Islamic contexts. Thus either “Allah is great” or “God is great” may be seen.

Def.
 * 1) the single deity of various monotheistic religions,
 * 2) the single male deity of various bitheistic or duotheistic religions,
 * 3) an impersonal and universal spiritual presence or force,
 * 4) an omnipotent being, creator of the universe (as in deism), or
 * 5) the (personification of the) laws of nature
 * 6) the Horned God,

is called God.

Usage notes

God is often referred to by masculine pronouns, not necessarily implying that the speaker believes God to be male. God is also referred to by pronouns that begin with a capital letter, as a sign of respect, in many languages written in Latin script. In English, these include He, Him, His and Himself. Many Jews follow a prohibition in their tradition against using this term and other equivalents in writing (see G-d).

Synonyms

 * Allah, Almighty, cosmocrat, Divine Father, G-d, god, Jah, Jehovah, Lord, LORD, Most High, Yahweh, Brahman, Ahura Mazda, Ra, Waheguru, Sage, Odin, Zeus.

Saturn
"Saturday is the day of Saturn, and the color of Saturn, according to astronomers, is said to be black".

Recent history
The recent history period dates from around 1,000 b2k to present.

The Franco-Flemish painting on the right has God the Father with a halo, dated to circa 1380 (620 b2k).

On the left is the frontispiece "of Riccioli's 1651 New Almagest. [In it mythological] figures observe the heavens with a telescope and weigh the heliocentric theory of Copernicus in a balance against his modified version of Tycho Brahe's geo-heliocentric system, in which the Sun, Moon, Jupiter and Saturn orbit the Earth while Mercury, Venus, and Mars orbit the Sun. The old Ptolemaic geocentric theory lies discarded on the ground, made obsolete by the telescope's discoveries. These are illustrated at top and include phases of Venus and Mercury and a surface feature on Mars (left), moons of Jupiter, rings of Saturn, and features on the moon (right). The balance tips in favor of Riccioli's "Tychonic" system."

In the second image down on the right, God the Father has a dark halo. Dated circa 4th quarter of the 15th century (1475-1500, 525-500 b2k).

The third image down on the right is dated circa 1480-1490 (520-510 b2k) with God the Father having an apparent halo in white.

The second figure on the left contains Huygens Systema Saturnium. The top diagram shows how Saturn's appearance to us changes due the changing positions of the Earth (E) and Saturn as they orbit the Sun (G). The bottom portion contains Huygens observation of Saturn presenting its rings to us at their greatest inclination. Both parts date from 1659, 341 b2k.

In the fourth image down on the right, Michelangelo painted God in white with some green nearby, dated to 1508-1512 (492-588 b2k).

The fifth image down on the right has God the Father painted in white by Ludovico Mazzolino, dated to from 1510 until 1520 (490-480 b2k). The halo is gone but it appears a bald head replaces the disk of Saturn.

The third page down on the left is dated to 1661, 339 b2k, and describes the theory of Ptolemy.

The sixth image down on the right dated to circa 1635-1640 has God the Father with a whitish bald head partially surrounded with whitish hair.

The fourth page on the left is a chart of the Solar System up to the orbit of the planet Saturn. The tracks of three comets are indicated, which appeared in the years 1662, 1680 and 1682, respectively. The page is dated to 1727, 273 b2k.

During the High Middle Ages, theology was therefore the ultimate subject at universities, being named "The Queen of the Sciences" and serving as the capstone to the Trivium and Quadrivium that young men were expected to study. This meant that the other subjects (including Philosophy) existed primarily to help with theological thought.

Hypotheses

 * 1) Religion in the northern hemisphere of Earth has its origins in celestial events that killed hominins.
 * 2) There were no celestial deities in the southern hemisphere except in those cultures that also crossed the equator into the northern hemisphere or were invaded and conquered by northern hemisphere peoples.

Maurice Wiles

Maurice Frank Wiles, FBA (17 October 1923 – 3 June 2005) was an Anglican priest and academic. He was the Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Oxford from 1970 to 1991.

Life and academic career
Wiles was educated at the Tonbridge School in Kent. He was awarded a scholarship at Christ's College, Cambridge, but his studies were interrupted by the war. He and his brother, Christopher John Wiles (1919-2014), were sent early in February 1942 to learn Japanese and cryptography at the secret Bedford Japanese School run by Captain Oswald Tuck RN. Both of them did well on the course and were posted to Bletchley Park. After a year in the Japanese Military Attaché section, Maurice became joint chief translator in the Japanese Forces section, while Christopher became chief translator in the Japanese military attaché section. After the war he returned to Christ's College and then continued his studies at Ridley Hall.

After ordination in 1950 he spent two years as curate at St George's, Stockport, but then returned to Ridley Hall as chaplain. From 1955 to 1959 he was a lecturer in New Testament Studies at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. He again returned to Cambridge as dean of Clare College and university lecturer in early Christian doctrine. Before moving to Oxford as Regius Professor of Divinity he spent three years from 1967 to 1970 as professor of Christian doctrine at King's College London.

Wiles served as a director of the four-yearly Oxford International Conference on Patristic Studies from 1971 until 1999.

He was appointed a Fellow of King's College London in 1972 and Fellow of the British Academy in 1981.

Miracles
In his work God's Action in the World, he discusses the notion of a world that is consistent with Christian theology and the laws of nature. In doing so Wiles rejects the possibility that God directly intervenes in the world and therefore rejects the existence of miracles.

Wiles accepts God as the sole creator of the world, yet believes he does not intervene in the world for a number of reasons. He believed we should not see God as playing an 'active role' but instead hold the belief that God created the world as he wanted in its entirety: "the world as a whole [is] a single act of God."

Therefore, God would not undermine the natural laws that he created by intervening in the world. Wiles also argued that an omnibenevolent God would not perform such trivial miracles as those which are normally observed: "even so it would seem strange that no miraculous intervention prevented Auschwitz or Hiroshima, while the purposes apparently forwarded by some of the miracles acclaimed in traditional Christian faith seem trivial by comparison."

Wiles concluded that either God acts arbitrarily (and is therefore not worthy of worship) or that he does not intervene at all.

However, the lack of miracles does not violate a belief in Christianity according to Wiles. Prayer, for instance, still has purpose but should not be understood as causing God to take action. Instead it should be a way of enabling a group or individual to connect with God's will: "[prayer] is the capacity to attain, however incompletely, some awareness of that intention."

Likewise, the miracles of the Bible need not be rejected. Instead, they should be understood to have a symbolic role: to teach about God and faith in Christianity.

Patristics and modern doctrine
An expert in patristics as well as modern doctrine, Wiles was particularly interested in the development of doctrine and questions of orthodoxy and heresy. His book The Making of Christian Doctrine was a critical look at whether early doctrinal affirmations could remain valid when the framework of their intellectual background had shifted. His Working Papers in Doctrine collected together a number of his journal articles on patristic thought. Several of his works focused on the heresiarch Arius and the history of Arianism, including Archetypal Heresy: Arianism through the Centuries. Wiles continued to defend the possibility of a reasonable Christian faith, free from historical and dogmatic commitments which could not be defended on critical grounds but confident in the essential truthfulness and trustworthiness of God, until the end of his life.

Wiles's broad interests in doctrine were reflected in the contributions to his Festschrift, published in 1993. A short critical study of his thought was published in 1987 by the Dutch theologian Gerard Rothuizen (1925–88).

The Journal of Theological Studies
In 1986, Wiles succeeded Henry Chadwick as editor of The Journal of Theological Studies. He edited the journal along with the biblical scholar Morna Hooker. Wiles's editorship concluded with the centenary issue of the journal, published in October 1999, to which he contributed an article charting the journal's origins and history.

Family
His father was Sir Harold Herbert Wiles, Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of Labour and National Service. Maurice Wiles was husband to Patricia Wiles. He was the father of the mathematician Sir Andrew Wiles, who is also a Regius Professor at the University of Oxford, of Mathematics.

Wikiversity:Subpages

Wikiversity allows creation of subpages for articles in the main namespace. Subpages are given names such as "Page/Subpage". Subpages are used to help organise individual projects such as courses, seminars, and research projects.

Example of a main namespace page with a subpage.

Courses
Courses are learning projects that can be joined at any time. Courses can have subpages like:
 * Source materials (texts and articles)
 * Lists
 * Subtopics
 * Seminars (see )
 * Help desk (for list of "tutors")
 * Participants (students or "scholars")
 * Quizzing and testing materials
 * Papers, etc.
 * Papers by students
 * Essays by students or experts (including a course instructor) that include opinion, that need not be neutral, or that include original research or personal experience.

Classes
Classes are guided by instructors. These take place over a certain time frame. (Maybe not needed)

Classes on Wikiversity could use subpages for some or all of the following:
 * Source materials
 * Instructors
 * Rosters
 * Syllabi
 * Quizzes
 * Tests
 * Study guides
 * Papers
 * Papers by students
 * Reflections by students
 * Assignments by students
 * Whatever else you might find useful. Please be creative and innovative. Wikiversity is somewhat of an experiment!

For example you could use a page like Introduction to Engineering/Student848/Reflection 1, Introduction to Engineering/Roster, Introduction to Engineering/Quiz 1, Introduction to Engineering/Exam 1 study guide/Answers, etc. Please use subpages so long as they are useful!

Seminars
Seminars are egalitarian. If part of a course, student-led, though experts may participate. These may be split into projects, which may or may not have time limits.
 * Instructors
 * Projects
 * Source materials
 * Other materials (for art projects, etc.)
 * Submission and critique
 * Discussion

Research

 * Brainstorming
 * Different sections of research (results, methods, introductions, etc.)
 * Publishing papers
 * Allowing for peer review
 * Start a peer reviewed journal at Wikiversity

Userpages

 * Archives
 * Sandboxes (testpages)
 * Workspaces
 * Educational related blogs

(learning) Projects

 * Organization, organization, organization

Please note that Lunar Boom Town and CisLunarFreighter makes copious use of subpages.

Once you have an account here at Wikiversity for a few days or so, the move function can be a useful tool! It is usually better to move a page than to copy the page content under a new page name. This keeps the history intact.

(Page moves can sometimes be difficult to undo. A page move ordinarily leaves a redirect in place, and "double redirects," where a redirect links to a redirect, don't work, so some cleanup may be required. If the redirect has been edited, the move cannot be simply undone, a custodian is required. So be careful when moving pages.)

Subpage(s) to this project page
What could be more appropriate for a page on subpages than an illustration of the topic with a subpage of its own?

Forking and organizing (permalink) is an essay as written by one author (as you will see at the top of the page). The permalink is a "permanent version." That version cannot be changed, though it can be hidden by a custodian. The current version is shown by /Forking and organizing. As the essay is not attributed (except in page history), any user may edit it.

See w:Help:Permanent link for information about how to find and use permanent links.

= Jan Fawcett = Born March 31, 1934 (age 80) March 31, 1934, Jamestown, New York

Education: M.D. at Yale University School of Medicine

Alma mater: University of Rochester

Known for: Clinical Treatment of Refractory Depression, Link between Severe Anxiety and Suicide

Jan A. Fawcett (born March 31, 1934) is an American psychiatrist, educator, and author.

His research career has focused on the mechanism of action of anti depressant medications and the discovery of more effective medications for severe depression as well as treatment modifiable factors leading up to suicide.

Fawcett is currently a professor of psychiatry at the University of New Mexico Medical Center. He was previously the Stanley Harris Jr. Chairman of Psychiatry at the Rush University Medical Center for 30 years.

He has received numerous national and international awards for his research, including the Anna Monika Award the Dr. Jan Fawcett Humanitarian Award, and several others.

Fawcett has served as the president of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. He was also a contributing author for DSM-V and a member of the scientific board of the Brain and Behavioral Research Foundation.

Early life and education
Fawcett was born in Jamestown, New York. He was educated at a public school and Hamburg High School in Hamburg, NY. He spent two years at the Naval Academy at Annapolis before earning a bachelors degree in science at the University of Rochester in 1956, He went on to earn his medical degree at Yale Medical School in 1960. After a rotating internship year at the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital in San Francisco, CA, he became a resident in psychiatry at the University of California’s Langley Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute. He then graduated from two additional years of residency at the University of Rochester – Strong Memorial Hospital. He then went on for a two year research fellowship at the National Institute of Mental Health at Bethesda, MD. It was here that he began his career in the clinical research of depression and suicide.

Psychopharmacologic Treatment of Depression
Fawcett’s initial work was inspired by the development of the first anti depressant medications, e.g. amipramine and MAOIs. He began doing research with the effects of dextroamphetamine on mood which, unlike the anti-depressant medications, showed a response within hours. He was fascinated by the fact that dextroamphetamine worked rapidly with the patients it helped while amipramine took weeks to show its effects. This was complimented by studies of the metabolism of brain norepinephrine in depressed patients as inspired by James Mass M.D. This led him to combine stimulants with MAOIs in patients with treatment refractory depression.

Severe Anxiety and Suicide
Fawcett was the first to identify the prevalence of anxiety in major depression (even though anxiety is not a criteria symptom for the diagnosis of depression). (Fawcett/Kravitz 1983)

Fawcett worked as a principal investigator of the Rush site of the collaborative depression study. This led him to the opportunity to do one of the few prospective studies of suicide over a 16-25 year follow up period. Studying suicide prospectively enabled Fawcett to find new short term predictors of suicide that, severe anxiety which could be modified by treatment. The severe anxiety/suicide link as it relates to suicide has been replicated by subsequent studies, although there has been no studies that have attempted to look at the capacity of acute treatment to prevent suicide.

Dopamenergic Medications for Refractory Depression
Having found the effectiveness of combining psychostimulants and MAOIs in 1991, Fawcett began studying the effects of a dopaminergic agent used to treat Parkinson’s Disease, (pramipexole) in treatment refractory depression in 2008. He has since found that doses of pramipexole when pushed to tolerance in individual patients, will reverse depressions which have failed to respond to multiple anti depressant medications and even ECT.

Expert Witness Testimonies
Fawcett’s opinion has been sought on numerous high profile cases throughout the years. Notably, he interviewed and provided a psychological profile of serial killer John Wayne Gacy after meeting with him in his cell.

He also testified against Dr. Jack Kevorkian during his murder trial. Fawcett opined that the individuals with non-fatal illnesses who sought Kevorkian’s services were actually depressed and that treating their depression might’ve alleviated their desires to die.

Fawcett has also provided testimony in innumerable cases of wrongful death or malpractice related to patients who committed suicide.

Personal life
He currently enjoys writing fiction and is working on the sequel to his first science fiction novel, Living Forever.

He has four children and four grandchildren. Fawcett and his wife, Katie Busch M.D., live in Santa Fe, NM.

Fawcett was inspired by the work of Roy Grinker Sr. M.D. and his mentors William Bunney M.D. and James Mass M.D.

Portuguese Language

Unit Summary

 * Course presentation: Bem vindo Welcome

March 9, 2009. This beautiful language course needs a lot of work. We are all here to help you.

There are two important Portuguese language variations, almost identical: the European Portuguese (used in Portugal), and the Brazilian Portuguese. The European Portuguese is the original Portuguese (since Brazil was first colonized by Portugal more than 500 years ago), but Brazilian Portuguese became more relevant for many reasons: Brazil is now the 8th biggest economy in the world (Wikipedia), its variation is spoken by more than 200 million people, and there is a lot more literature printed in that style.

More books are printed in Brazilian Portuguese not only because of the greater population of Brazil, but also because Portugal is part of Europe, where people tend to learn many languages, so many researchers and readers in Portugal read original books printed in other European languages, like English, French and Spanish, while in Brazil many books are translated by publishers.

There is some debate about this two variations, but we will not encourage that controversy. If I was learning Portuguese I would choose one variation, and don`t worry about the other for now, learning a language is already challenging or as great poet Fernando Pessoa would say: Navegar é preciso.

This issue is no big deal. Wiki editors can contribute with the variation they know best. Both are correct (There is an extensive Policy about the use of Portuguese variations in Wikiversidade: Versões da Língua Portuguesa). We are brothers! Somos irmãos. Have a nice study, we are under development.

Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran

Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP), formerly Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), is the urban planning agency of the state of Haryana in India except Gurugram and Faridabad which has Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority and Faridabad Metropolitan Development Authority respectively. It was established in 1977. The Minister of Town and Country Planning Department, Haryana is the chairman of the authority. The headquarters of the authority is located in Panchkula, Haryana.

HSIIDC is a related government owned agency responsible for the industrial and infrastructure development in the Haryana state. Haryana Financial Corporation provides financial assistance for setting up new industrial units and for the expansion and diversification of the existing industries. Various universities, educational and training institutes, including the nation's first skills university Haryana Vishwakarma Skill University, provide the human resources to capitalise on the finances offered by the HFC and the infrastructure created by the HSIIDC. Among the related initiatives to boost growth, Haryana was the first state to introduce Labour Policy in 2005, and Land Pooling Policy in 2017.

History
HUDA was established in 1977 as a statutory body of the government in 1977 under the Haryana Urban Development Authority Act, 1977 for planned development of cities in Haryana. On 1 June 2017, the cabinet of Government of Haryana headed by the Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar decided to rename it to the Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) because HUDA sounded similar to the surname of former chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. Due to lack of co-ordination between Urban Estates Department and other departments of the Government of Haryana, the growth of estates started slowing down. Besides, as the Department had to follow the financial rules and regulations of Government, the arrangement of funds and sanction of estimates used to take a long time and the development works did not keep pace with the required standards of physical achievements. It was also felt that being a Government department, it was unable to raise resources from various lending institutions although there were many financial institutions in the country to finance urban development programmes. The Urban Estates Department was not effective in achieving its defined goals of planned urban development to the satisfaction of the public at large. Thus, in order to over come all these difficulties and to achieve the expeditious development of urban estates, it was felt that the Department of Urban Estates should be converted into such a body which could take up all the development activities itself and provide various facilities in the Urban Estates expeditiously and consequently the Haryana Urban Development Authority came into existence on 30-04-1977 under the Haryana Urban Development Authority Act, 1977 to take over work, responsibilities hitherto being handled by individual Government departments.

Divisions
The authority has divided the districts of Haryana into four divisions or zones except Gurugram.

Departments
The authority is divided into the twelve departments.

 * 1) Engineering
 * 2) Finance
 * 3) Town planning
 * 4) Architecture
 * 5) Legal
 * 6) Monitoring
 * 7) Enforcement
 * 8) Vigilance
 * 9) Establishment and Authority
 * 10) Policy
 * 11) Land acquisition
 * 12) Information technology

Facilities
The authority is responsible for development and maintenance of the following:

 * Residential areas
 * Commercial areas
 * Industrial areas
 * Institutional areas

Community buildings developed by HUDA in these areas include:

 * Schools
 * Colleges
 * Hospitals
 * Police stations
 * Community centres
 * Gymkhana clubs
 * Old age homes
 * Fire stations
 * Cremation grounds
 * Public parks

Land Pooling Policy
Haryana Land Pooling Policy (HLPP), approved in January 2018, is used by the HSVP for acquiring land from the landlords for developing residential sectors. Landlords join the scheme voluntarily and at least 70% landowners must agree to pool their contiguous land, who receive INR50,000 per acre per year till the land is developed. After the land is developed, the landlords also will receive 33% of the developed residential plots in proportion to the land contributed by them to the pool, 33% will be sold by HSVP, 33% will be used for developing services such as roads and parks.

Talk:List of tornado-related deaths at schools

Delete?
Do we really need this article? What is special about deaths at schools from tornados? Why not deaths in trailer parks or malls or workplaces? This just seems like listcruft. eaolson 04:53, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

 * School fatalities are rare events; and of interest to some since the data is difficult to find. It also shows that fatal tornado events do occur at schools.  It's not the most noteworthy list, but I vote to retain it.

 * I vote to delete or to merge into a general "Tornado fatalities" article. I can't see any equivalent pages for "tornado fatalities in cinemas/workshops/postoffices/brothels/whatever/etc" articles. I don't think anyone's seriously contesting that tornadoes have historically avoided schools, or that schools have better protection. This just strikes me as surreal. Garrick92 18:40, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Merger perhaps, but I wouldn't delete the info here outright. The big difference between schools and other buildings is that (in the past half-century, at least) they are among the few places to have tornado preparedness and evacuation protocol written and rehearsed on a regular basis. Thus, it may be of interest to some to compare the modern record of school deaths to events from the pre-tornado forecasting era (i.e., before 1953 for official forecasts), for the purposes of deducing the effectiveness of such emergency plans. It is also worth noting that the author of the cited source, Thomas Grazulis, dedicates space in both his book and on the Tornado Project website specifically to school tornado disasters. So it's not entirely without precedence to compile lists of such data. CapeFearWX 03:27, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Indeed, physical location of fatalities are officially recorded, as can be seen in the external links section of the article, which links to here.

 * Regarding "equivalent pages" for other structures: The average US school has nearly 1,000 students (lower in less dense areas, higher in more more dense areas), with most states having at least a thousand schools. There are factories and office buildings with thousands of employees, but in vastly smaller numbers, and not distributed throughout the country. There are post offices and gas stations throughout the country, but they have very few people in them. The "population" and ubiquity of public schools set them apart from other other types of structures. In addition to those properties, there is added interest in their safety simply because they protect so many of our nation's children, and their funding is directed by the public. As a result, data about preparedness, expenditures, damage, injuries and fatalities tend to be separated for public schools in a manner not done for any other class of large building. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:27, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Possible school fatalities: 1957 Ruskin Heights
Missing information: in May of 1957 a tornado passed through the Ruskin Heights area south of Kansas City, Missouri. It was in the evening, after school hours, but there were some school personnel killed at Ruskin High School by the storm. Perhaps this incident can be added to the list.

 * Source? It cannot be added without reliable sources. CrazyC83 02:40, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Non school hour events raise an interesting problem in whether all such events resulting in fatalities are recorded (that is before such information was officially recorded). Without proper sourcing, however, possible events cannot be added.  Evolauxia (talk) 11:22, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Tornado deaths at schools outside the US
Are there any known cases of such? They should go on a separate list if any can be found... CrazyC83 02:40, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I've heard of cases, but there isn't anything close to an organized record of non-U.S. events. It would have to be a case-by-case basis as records of school fatalities in other locations are found.  It should be a separate listing (section) and there should be a notice that the U.S. listing is exhaustive whereas anywhere else is not.  The locations of all fatalities in the U.S. are recorded.  Information recorded includes public/private and type of structure.  This is used in studies of casualty patterns, so problems can be identified and addressed.  That this information is officially recorded is also evidentiary to supporting this article's listing of school fatalities, at least in my opinion.  Evolauxia (talk) 11:04, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree it should be a separate list, since they have probably (in fact almost certainly) happened elsewhere before, but there are no organized lists. It would also be slanted towards recent events since that is all media reports would be able to reach back to. CrazyC83 (talk) 20:32, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Puzzles | Logic puzzles | Lying about your Age | Solution

Annie - 30 Betty - 51 Carrie - 55 Darla - 46 Eve - 37

Symbolic
Let the ages and names of Annie, Betty, Carrie, Darla and Eve be A, B, C, D and E.

C says to A, that C = A + 10. If C were younger than A, that would be lying, so C must be older than A. (But still lying.)

We have A < C.

C says to A, that B < D. As C > A, C is lying, so B > D.

We have A < C, D < B.

D says to B, that D = E + 9. As D < B, D is telling the truth, so D > E.

We have A < C, E < D < B, D = E + 9.

E says to B, that E = A + 7. As E < B, E is telling the truth, so E > A.

We have A < C, A < E < D < B, D = E + 9, E = A + 7.

Since D = E + 9 and E = A + 7, D = A + 7 + 9 = A + 16.

We have A < C, A < E < D < B, D = E + 9 = A + 16, E = A + 7.

B says to C, that E < C. If B > C then B would be lying, so then E > C, and then A < C < E < D < B. However, C says to D, that C = D ± 6; since C < D, this gives C = D - 6. However, we have E = D - 9, which would make E < C, giving a contradiction. The assumption that B > C is therefore false, so B < C.

We have A < E < D < B < C, D = E + 9 = A + 16, E = A + 7.

A says to B, that B = (17/10)A. As A < B, A is telling the truth.

We have A < E < D < B < C, B = (17/10)A, D = E + 9 = A + 16, E = A + 7.

B says to C, that |C - D| = |D - E| → |C - D| = 9. As B < C, B is telling the truth, so C = D + 9. As D = A + 16, C = A + 16 + 9 → C = A + 25.

We have A < E < D < B < C, B = (17/10)A, C = A + 25, D = A + 16, E = A + 7.

Using D < B < C, we have A + 16 < (17/10)A < A + 25 → 16 < (7/10)A < 25 → 160/7 < A < 250/7 → 22 + 6/7 < A < 35 + 5/7. Since B and A must both be whole numbers, and B = (17/10)A → B - A = (7/10)A, (7/10)A must be a whole number. Hence A must be divisible by 10. The only whole number fitting 22 + 6/7 < A < 35 + 5/7 is A = 30.

We have A = 30, B = (17/10)A, C = A + 25, D = A + 16, E = A + 7.

Hence A = 30, B = 51, C = 55, D = 46, E = 37.

Verbal
Carrie tells Annie she's older than her by 10 years. If Carrie is younger, she's lying, and that's impossible, so Carrie must be older than Annie, just not by 10 years.

FACT: Carrie is older than Annie (but not by 10 years).

Carrie also lies to (younger) Annie that Betty is younger than Darla.

FACT: Darla is younger than Betty.

Darla tells the truth to (older) Betty that she's 9 years older than Eve.

FACT: Darla is 9 years older than Eve.

Eve tells the truth to (older) Betty that she's 7 years older than Annie.

FACT: Eve is 7 years older than Annie.

Annie tells the truth to (older) Betty that Betty's age is 70% greater than her own. For Betty's age to be a whole number, Annie's age must be a multiple of 10. Since Betty is older than Darla, and Darla is 7 + 9 = 16 years older than Annie, that means Betty has to be more than 16 years older than Annie. The lowest multiple of 7 greater than 16 is 21.

FACT: Annie is at least 30 years old (and definitely a multiple of 10).

At this point, Betty appears to be the oldest, lying lady. Let's assume that, and see if it works.

In that case, Carrie is lying to Darla that the difference in their ages is 6 years, but Betty tells the truth to (older) Carrie that the difference between Carrie's age and Darla's is the same as the difference between Darla's and Eve's, namely, 9 years. Let's test this scenario, assuming Annie's age is 30. Then we get, from youngest to oldest:

TESTING: Annie = 30, Eve = 37, Darla = 46, Betty = 51, Carrie = 55

Checking all statements and the age relations shows that this is an answer. Is this the only answer?

If Annie's age was 40, then Betty's age would be 68, and Carrie's age would be 65, so Carrie would not be the oldest, and that would be a fatal flaw. If Annie is older than 30, Betty is older than Carrie, and Carrie is not the oldest. Hence, it must have been the only answer.

Meaning
My understanding is that this term was used to distinguish between the two types of student radicals in the 1960s. there were those who were rebelling from their conservative parents, and then there were those who grew up radical (the so-called red-diaper babies). I would think we would need to make that context clear in this article--i.e. make clear that it was used only during a certain time period, and as a way of distinguishing the red-diaper babies from normal children who turned radical. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:49, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Introduction to physics/lecture

See Introduction to physics (MIT)

The Underpinnings of Physics
In its purest sense, physics is the study of the way matter and energy interact in nature. Since early civilization, humans have sought to describe the workings of the world around them. Physics attempts to predict the outcome of an event by knowing certain conditions beforehand. For example, physics can predict how long it will take for a rock to fall down a well, or how fast a pendulum will swing.

Basic Physical Properties and Concepts
All things in the universe have basic properties that describe the ways they act and interact with other bodies. In order to make precise predictions, we will describe these properties using numerical quantities. For example, we may put a simple coordinate system over the Earth to describe the positions of satellites over time as numerical quantities. A Cartesian coordinate system as you should already be familiar with is not very convenient for this, as the orbits of the satellites are elliptical. A spherical coordinate system is a little more convenient. There are two basic types of quantities that we will at first be concerned with measuring, scalars and vectors. A scalar quantity is one that does not depend on rigid motions (translations/rotations) of the coordinate system we use to describe the physical event, while a vector quantity may be different in different coordinate systems.

 * Motion is when an object changes position relative to another. In Newtonian physics, all motion is relative to some reference point.  For example, two balls sitting next to each other on a moving train are said to be at rest with respect to each other, but are in motion relative to a stationary observer on the ground. This ties in very closely with the next concept.
 * Velocity describes how fast something is going and further, describes the direction of the object's motion. The difference between velocity and speed is that velocity always answers "how fast and in what direction?" while speed only answers "how fast?". More formally, speed describes the magnitude (hence, you can never have negative speed, even if you are going "backwards") of the velocity of an object. An example of a speed is the reading on a car's speedometer. A velocity might include the reading on the dashboard compass in addition to the speedometer.  Velocity is a vector. Speed is a scalar.

 * A frame of reference is a point of view of a physical situation. Relative motion and rest will change if you change your frame of reference. Even though your chair may seem like it is at rest to you, it is actually rotating around with the earth at several hundred kilometers per hour.  If you take another step back in your frame of reference, you will see that even the earth is not stationary; it is rotating around the sun.  And the sun is in turn rotating around the center of our galaxy.  This may seem confusing, but you will usually be using a very small part of the Earth as your frame of reference; that is, things not moving relative to the ground are said to be "at rest".

 * An inertial frame of reference is a sort of mental box we draw around a situation where Newton's law of inertia holds true. The importance of using these frames is that all physical events can be described from an inertial frame of reference using Newton's laws. We will learn about these laws in the next lesson.

 * Acceleration describes the change in velocity, much like velocity describes the change in distance. If an object does not change its speed, and does not change its direction, then its acceleration is 0. Even if the object is decreasing in speed, or decelerating, its loss of speed is still referred to as its acceleration. Note that since acceleration describes the change in velocity, which has a direction associated with it, acceleration also has a direction. This is different from the way the word is used in everyday language, which describes only the magnitude of acceleration. Ie., you hear that a car can go "Zero to sixty in three seconds", not "zero to sixty northwest in three seconds", because in that case, the direction doesn't really matter. In an inertial frame of reference, acceleration is always associated with a force. Acceleration is a vector quantity.

 * Mass answers the question of "how hard is it to change the motion of this object?". Given the same force, an object with a small mass will accelerate much faster than an object with a large amount of mass. Think of pushing a car versus pushing a shopping cart. The shopping cart (hopefully!) responds to your efforts quite easily, so it must have less mass than the car, which will take a while to get up to the same speed as your shopping cart under a similar effort. Mass is a scalar quantity.

 * Energy is associated with physical changes. Formally, energy is a force applied over a distance.  There are many different forms of energy and they can be converted to other forms, but they all have the ability to cause some type of change.  In general, there are two kinds of energy:  Potential energy and Kinetic energy.  Potential energy is energy that is ready to be released, like a rock on a cliff.  Once the rock is pushed off the cliff, it begins to fall and loses potential energy.  This loss in potential energy is compensated with a gain in kinetic energy.  Once the rock hits the ground, all of the kinetic energy is transferred to the ground, perhaps causing an indentation in the ground or a fracture in the rock.  Energy in the universe is always conserved; that is, it never disappears.  However, a system can "lose" energy to heat. Energy is a scalar quantity.

{Motion, also known as displacement, is a - scalar. + vector.
 * type=""}
 * No, one person may see a car going towards their left while another person may see the same car going towards their right.
 * Yes, one person may see a car going towards their left while another person may see the same car going towards their right.

{Velocity is a - scalar. + vector.
 * type=""}
 * No, the definition includes the direction of motion, which can change if you are viewing the situation from a rotated point of view.
 * Yes, the definition includes the direction of motion, which can change if you are viewing the situation from a rotated point of view.

{Speed is a + scalar. - vector.
 * type=""}
 * Yes, how fast an object is moving does not depend on rotation or translation. If you have taken linear algebra, you will note that since speed is a norm, it is invariant with respect to rigid motions.
 * No, shifting or rotating the reference point from which you took your measurements does not change how fast an object moved.

Gauri (epic)

Gauri (गौरी; first edition: 2015 BS (1959–60 AD)) is an eponymous tragic epic written by Nepali "National Poet" (राष्ट्रकवि) Madhav Prasad Ghimire, in memory of his first wife, following her premature death. It is widely regarded as one of the poet's finest works; it is also the most popular. Ghimire has named Gauri as one of his favourites, among his works.

Inspiration
Madhav Prasad Ghimire, at fifteen years of age, was married to his first wife Gauri Pokharel, herself aged only ten, in 1990 BS. She died after eleven years of marriage in which they had two children together.

Development
In Mādhava Ghimirekā viśishṭa khaṇḍakāvya, Bhanubhakta Pokharel opined that most of the epic seems to have been completed by 2005 BS.

Adaptation
A music album of the epic was released which was sung by artist like Ram Krishna Dhakal, Sudesh Sharma, Sangeeta Pradhan Rana, Rambhakta Jojiju, Sapana Shree and the poet himself. The album was released by Music Nepal music company.

Translation
A Korean translation of Gauri was published in 2018.

Antibiotic resistance is an important tool for genetic engineering. rDNA is a tool used in genetic engineering that brings together the DNA of multiple organisms. By constructing a plasmid that contains an antibiotic-resistance gene as well as the gene being engineered or expressed, a researcher can ensure that, when bacteria replicate, only the copies that carry the plasmid survive. This ensures that the gene being manipulated passes along when the bacteria replicates.

In general, the most commonly used antibiotics in genetic engineering are "older" antibiotics. These include:

ampicillin kanamycin tetracycline chloramphenicol In industry, the use of antibiotic resistance is disfavored, since maintaining bacterial cultures would require feeding them large quantities of antibiotics. Instead, the use of auxotrophic bacterial strains (and function-replacement plasmids) is preferred.

List of Australian Army aircraft

List of Australian Army aircraft is a list of all aircraft operated by the Australian Army since its formation. The Army flies helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, and also unmanned aerial vehicles of various types. The Army has a diverse portfolio of lift assets including fleet of latest Chinook helicopters, 22 Tiger attack helicopters, 15 EC135 (which it shares with Navy for training), and increasing numbers UH-60. A few other types, such as leased AW139 and Bell 412 are also used. The MRH-90 fleet which was a major asset for over a dozen years was fully retired in 2023 and are in storage, and the last of the S-70 were retired in 2021. Additional UH-60 and EC135 are being acquired in the 2020s.

The MRH-90 retirement is handled in several ways, prior to retirement additional Chinooks were acquired, and prior to and after additional AW139, Bell 412, UH-60, and EC135 were ordered or leased. They Navy and Air Force have there own aircraft, and the Navy uses SH-60 Sea Hawk and ordered more.

Current

 * Several AW139 leased to the Army.

 * 2 Bell 412 under lease at Army Aviation Training Center.
 * EC135 are shared with the Navy for training, but also intended for disaster relief in emergency.
 * Leaving service

Talk:Calculus

=Location of the Calculus Department= I think Calculus is better located in the Applied Math division. However, with the nature of this wiki's hierarchy structure, this department can be contained within both divisions. Although, I do not believe Calculus should be considered Pure Math.

Calculus, as studied by mathematicians, is pure mathematics. See Spivak's works for the purely mathematical study. Not a single reference to a physical application is given; all concepts are mathematically motivated. I don't ever intend to reference any applications in my lessons, except perhaps as historical motivations as Newton did play a part in developing some of the ideas of calculus primarily for physical uses; such applications should be left to the appropriate departments. Ron 01:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

=solutions to calculus textbooks?=

I think it would be a good idea to include solutions from some well-known calculus textbooks, such as Calculus: Early Transcendentals by James Stewart. These solutions can help students check their work and act as a study guide. Of course, we can't just copy them from the official solutions manual as that would be a copyright violation, but I don't think it would be an issue if we came up with our own solutions. --Ixfd64 20:37, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Solutions to a text are problematic as you point out. Rather we should create our own problems and solutions. Ultimately problems created will probably be from a text but then thats how most mathematics books are written. Afterall, who was the first to describe: $$ \frac{dy}{dx}x^2=2x$$? --Graemeb1967 12:00, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

The word orpiment is the proper word in English for arsenic trioxide, though arsenic is still used in this sense. In Norwegian, arsenikk only refers to the mineral.

Jamal Osman (politician)

Jamal Osman is a Somali-American politician in Minnesota's Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party. In August 2020, he was elected to the Minneapolis City Council to represent the city's 6th Ward.

Early life
Osman was born in Somalia and was a refugee in Kenya before coming to the United States when he was 14. After arriving in Minnesota, he lived in public housing.

Career
Osman is a social services worker and has worked as a resident advocate for the non-profit CommonBond Communities. He has also served on the board of the Phillips Community Clinic.

Minneapolis City Council
A special municipal election was held on August 11, 2020, for Ward 6's vacant seat. The previous councilmember, Abdi Warsame, resigned from the seat in March 2020 to head the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority. The special election occurred after the George Floyd protests and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Osman said he would address the opioid crisis and advocated for access to affordable housing. Osman defeated 10 other candidates in the race and was sworn into office on August 28, 2020.

As of January 2024, Osman serves as the chair of the Business, Housing & Zoning Committee.

Personal life
Osman is married to Ilo Amba, the founder of the non-profit organization Urban Advantage Services. The couple has five children. According to Osman, the family has resided in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood, but questions arose about Osman having had a Maplewood, Minnesota, residential address during his 2020 city council campaign.

 Homophobic and antisemitic Facebook posts

In 2022, Jamal Osman issued an apology for making antisemitic and anti-gay comments on Facebook between 2011 and 2013. The posts referred to Israelis as "dogs" and expressed support for Hitler. Osman also advocated for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage and made derogatory remarks about Jews and non-Muslims. In response to the revelations, Osman apologized and disavowed his comments, stating that they do not reflect his current beliefs and values. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey criticized Osman's comments as divisive and dangerous and expressed forgiveness while emphasizing the need for recognizing common humanity and repairing harm caused. Osman's wife's connections to a child nutrition program implicated in fraud were also reported. Osman faces difficulties in his 2023 re-election campaign due to these controversies. Another candidate, Abdirizak Bihie, who has publicly condemned gay marriage, is running for the same seat.

USA-50

USA-50, also known as GPS II-6 and GPS SVN-18, was an American navigation satellite which formed part of the Global Positioning System. It was the sixth of nine Block II GPS satellites to be launched, which were the first operational GPS satellites to fly.

Background
It was part of the 21-satellite Global Positioning System (GPS) Block II series that provides precise position data (accurate to within 16 m) to military and civilian users worldwide. Its signals could be received on devices as small as a telephone. The GPS II satellites, built by Rockwell International for the Air Force Space Systems Division, each have a 7.5-year design life. The Air Force intends to launch a GPS II every 2 to 3 months until the constellation of 21 operational satellite and 3 spares is aloft. The GPS Block II join 7 operational Block 1 satellites.

Launch
USA-50 was launched at 22:55:01 UTC on 24 January 1990, atop a Delta II launch vehicle, flight number D191, flying in the 6925-9.5 configuration. The launch took place from Launch Complex 17A (LC-17A) at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), and placed USA-50 into a transfer orbit. The satellite raised itself into medium Earth orbit using a Star-37XFP apogee motor.

Mission
On 25 February 1990, USA-50 was in an orbit with a perigee of 20087 km, an apogee of 20275 km, a period of 717.92 minutes, and 54.6° of inclination to the equator. The satellite had a mass of 840 kg, and generated 710 watts of power. It had a design life of 7.5 years, and was retired from service on 18 August 2000.

Talk:recreation

=Might not be an acceptable etymology source to cite= Etymology: [] "1390, "refreshment or curing of a person, refreshment by eating," from O.Fr. recreacion (13c.), from L. recreationem (nom. recreatio) "recovery from illness," from recreatus, pp. of recreare "to refresh, restore," from re- "again" + creare (see create). Meaning "refresh oneself by some amusement" is first recorded c.1400; abbreviated form rec is attested from 1929. Verb recreate "to refresh by physical influence" is attested from c.1560, but not now used, probably from confusion with re-create (q.v.). Recreational is from 1656."
