Talk:Systems And Tools Educational Model

General Thoughts
I envision this to be both a topic, and a research project. I think the critical part to having this be a collaborative effort, is that we work on following the internal rules of the philosophy as close as possible, and if they are not appropriate, or do not fit certain concepts well enough, that we figure out better or more universal rules.

I hope to be able to do more referencing of sources soon, but because it is an self-built paradigm in many ways with original "research" built from deductive reasoning, I'm not sure if that is as appropriate. Once an initial paradigm/philosophy is built here, I hope that experiments can be done to test some of the hypothesis of the philosophy, and these should be referenced. --Jacob Walker 14:59, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Tools are Systems
I had an epiphany this evening, although it is one that maybe makes this subject more abstract, and I want to start to move it towards being more concrete... But I'll throw it out here anyways, and see if anyone has feedback. Everything I listed as a tool, is actually part of a system itself. And further, any system listed can be used as a tool to accomplish a persons goals. So tools are systems and systems are tools, and the whole concept here is much more reiterative than first thought, and maybe could even be modeled as a fractal. So maybe all the current categories will need to be changed to reflect this idea. --Jacob Walker 02:33, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Another Type of System
I had a thought a few days ago about another potential system, but now it escapes me. I remember that it was something like the personal systems, but social in nature. I think, I thought that the school system would fall in this category. I wanted to document it here so I might remember more in the future, or get other feedback. --Jacob Walker 15:50, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I remembered what I had been thinking about. I think it is important that infrastructure is part of the systems, such as electricity generation and distribution, fuel, building materials (steele, wood, etc). These are kind of in the current model under multiple categories, so maybe things need to be moved around to fit them, or just have an alternative view, or something... I think more thought is needed. --Jacob Walker 23:13, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Where do skills and knowledge fit in, and are their other "element types" that people gain from learning?
It has always seem to me that learning is composed of both knowledge (information) and skills (the ability to do something). Is there more to learning than these two element types? Is that what we ultimately gain through the learning process, only knowledge and skills? Of course there are different types of knowledge, and skills, such as physical skills or mental skills, etc. But is there anything else that people can get? Can we completely model the learning process with just these two things? And if so, then when it comes to systems, how do these two things fit in with each other? --Jacob Walker 03:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

More than a 2-D Matrix
So far this article has put systems in with each other as tools in a 2-D matrix. But with the Public Pupil Pizza Project, it is being shown that 3 systems might simultaneously "overlap". For example, a business system (entrepreneurial) is aided by the math system, which is aided by a spreadsheet program. All 3 can be taught simultaneously and by doing so, each can be understood better because each is more relevant, or enhances the other topics in other ways. I think the matrix idea may need revision, although from a communication perspective, it might be easier to still start with a 2-d model, as it can be placed on paper or a computer screen easier. --Jacob Walker 03:44, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Name of This Topic
While the General idea of which namespace this topic falls under has been resolved, the current title "Systems and Tools Educational Philosophy" is only a working name. I am not sure that it is an appropriate name, as maybe this topic will end up being more of a mental framework than a philosophy per se. Maybe we will find that as I have conjectured that all tools are systems, and we will remove that from the name. (On the other hand maybe we will find all systems are also tools, so both might be appropriate in the title)

I think the goal for a name of an idea is to be something that is self-descriptive, complete, yet if possible, not so complex that no one can remember it, or that the title itself scares people away. Also, we may decide to coin our own word in the future, like constructivists did with their educational philosophy. Or, we could have 2 names, a technical name, and then a more easy to remember and say name. We could also try to get fancy by having a cool acronym, but I personally don't suggest sacrificing meaning for a fancy acronym. If one ends up happening because it works out, then that is cool. --Jacob Walker 00:55, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I've been thinking more about the name question. The word "Philosophy" seems too theoretical, and too "pushy". Maybe it would be good to use the word "framework" in place of "philosophy"? --Jacob Walker 14:57, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, after further thought, I am pretty sure that the name will be "Systems and Tools Educational Model", which has the added benefit of having the acronym STEM. And I believe it most accuratly describes the concept that is being created, as it is a mental model (which is also a framework) --Jacob Walker 23:08, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Making this topic more easily understood
While I have attempted to write my initial ideas for this educational philosophy in a very universal and theoretical manner that is appropriate for academia, and be the most accurate in describing the philosophy, I know that the way I wrote things is not necessarily the most understandable. I hope that after the theoretical framework gets hashed out here, that a more easily understood document can be written to explain what this philosophy is all about and help "sell" the idea to educators, policy makers, etc. --Jacob Walker 03:45, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

How to set up classes using this philosophy/model
Most classes have to be taught in a linear fashion. As the current article discusses under the topic of the matrix, this educational philosophy is 2 dimensional, and both dimensions are critical. So what do you guys think? Would it be better to teach a system, such as economics, and then teach all the tools with it, or is it better to teach a tool, such as English, and then show how it can apply to all the systems? Or should it be a smattering of both, or should both completely exist, and overlap for better "coverage", so all students will see each cell twice, once from a system point of view, and then from a tool point of view?--Jacob Walker 00:08, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Most of what we think we know about sequencing content and topics in classes comes from our past experience with the "factory" model of education. "Better" often ends up being what works for the most students, even if for any particular subject there might only be a small fraction of students who really do well using the "better" method. I'm interested in the possibility that we can make use of the internet as a way to escape the confines of the factory model of education. Maybe there are millions of "good" linear paths for learners and maybe we could accommodate them all. I think the first step towards finding out is to increase the control that learners exercise over the direction of their own learning. Teachers can become facilitators of learning, helping individual students discover and create their own learning paths. Wikiversity does not have conventional classes, and I think it is a waste of the potential power of wiki technology to simply cram conventional courses into wiki format. The wiki user environment naturally supports self-motivated learners who find their own learning path in a rich learning environment. Can we create a system that efficiently takes into account what each learner knows and what each learner wants to know and directs them to the learning resources that will efficiently move them towards their goals? --JWSchmidt 01:23, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I think you have some valid points, from the research I have done, the modern school system is based on a factory "assembly line" model. I too am opposed to much of that model, but there are some important things that I see.  One is that as adults, we can choose freely what we want to learn.  Children don't yet have the tools to make these choices, and without some education tend to make selfish choices.  (Many adults do too ;-)  The purpose of the model that I am presenting is to give a reason why people should learn any particular thing.  And I believe as they learn more, they should be given more freedom of where they want to "specialize" their knowledge, even if that is in taking a lot from everywhere.  But sometimes a learner doesn't know what they want to know until they are exposed to the possibilities of what that knowledge is, and what it can do for them.  That is a big thrust of the system model, every tool is taught in application to a system, and every system is "sold" to the student about why they should care about the system.  If in the end the system isn't important to them, they will choose not to learn about it.

 * The model I'm trying to form should allow traditional education to fit within it, and also allow "alternative" means such as Wikiversity, and it should be able to give guidelines about what a person might want to learn. Also, while I am a believer of much of what the Internet offers, especially sites like Wikipedia and Wikiversity, to totally go away from direct social interaction at a young age would have profound, and possibly dangerous effects upon our society.  Technology is a wonderful tool, but I think Marshall McLuhan had a very relevant point about how one form of media (or extension of humankind), stops another extension, so the unintended consequences of a system must always be looked at. --Jacob Walker 03:32, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

 * "Children don't yet have the tools to make these choices" <-- I agree that most children cannot function intellectually at a level that is required for participation as editors of a wiki and I have written about this here. I spent most of this week going through the entire Wikiversity main namespace. Most Wikiversity content seems to be added by college students and they add content that is of concern to college students. I like the idea that Wikiversity should concern itself with learning resources for all ages and can host learning materials that will support conventional classroom education. However. I also try to be realistic about how Wikiversity will grow and function, which I think means paying attention to the people who create Wikiversity content. When I think about children who are too young to participate in Wikiversity today, I find myself thinking about how it might be possible to facilitate those segments of our educational system that are most likely to produce future Wikiversity participants. For example, there is a school near where I live that is trying to build education around learning resources that exist on the internet. I hope Wikiversity can grow into a host for resources that are useful to such schools. I am concerned about finding ways to provide teachers at such schools with confidence in Wikiversity as an online resource and I suspect that is will be important for Wikiversity to appear the be more than just a random collection of learning resources. Wikiversity will need portal pages that clearly express specific educational philosophies and show how Wikiversity can be used constructively to support those philosophies. --JWSchmidt 15:35, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Feedback
This is certainly an interesting page - and it reflects, for me, the fact that we really can and should go about thinking about education in a very deep way in the context of Wikiversity's existence. In what way(s) could Wikiversity be any different from traditional models? In what way(s) would it be good to carry on tradition? What traditions/theories/philosophies can we learn from? What kind of education is both appropriate and possible in this space? Will one size (curriculum) fit all (learners/educators)? (And, yes, in response to a point above, what consequence(s) might Wikiversity's model(s) of education have on learners?)

What I firstly am curious about, in commenting on this, is whether this is intended as a unified curriculum for Wikiversity (or any other educational space), or whether it is envisaged as a singular, particular example of a curriculum. In other words, is it intended to become the curriculum of Wikiversity, or is it another in the series of experiments that are ongoing (cf. Learning to learn a wiki way)? I would also question whether it is wise to envisage this approach to education as being a "complete alternative to current educational systems" - without acknowledging what current systems there are, and what they might contribute to this philosophy/system. Personally, I would always be cautious in stating that something is entirely new - this piece of thinking, like anything, is based on a worldview, on experience, on previous and current thinking, a blend of creative and reactive thinking. With my (limited) framework of educational systems, I can already see flavours of Activity theory, Constructivism, and Community of practice, as well as the theories of thinkers like John Dewey, Jean Piaget (like Developmental psychology), and others.

My final question would be whether this theory is about what people learn or how people learn (or both). The two things appear to be confused here - though I admit that much of this feedback may simply reflect my own confusion. Personally, I'm more interested in how people learn that what they learn (as is probably clear from this feedback), but perhaps this is not entirely relevant to this piece. But, if this brings some clarity to the process of developing this piece, perhaps my wordiness here may not have gone to waste. :-) Best regards, Cormaggio talk 13:37, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

 * To answer your first question, when I first created this page, I wasn't even thinking about how it would be applied to Wikiversity. I created it as a general framework for all types of learning, and created it on wikiversity under the school of education because I wanted to have it be a collaborative effort.  I do not profess that it is the only way of modeling education, but I think by having a mental framework, it allows any educational system to be improved.

 * To address the question of being a "complete alternative", that phrasing needs to be changed. As I think more about this concept, and from feedback, it seems that it is not a complete alternative, nor exactly an alternative, the prefix "meta" probably is a better description of the philosophy, because it is a "higher level"  view of categorizing curriculums. And in fact the words paradigm or mental framework may be better words than philosophy.  And I would agree that nothing is entirely new, so some wording needs to be refined.  Also, I do not know enough about why current content areas exist, but it seems to me, that what we teach generally has been an "evolutionary" process.  But I want to make clear that when I say "evolutionary", it doesn't always mean that the best survives, it means that what is good enough survives.  It also tends to mean there has not always been a larger model things are based upon.  But part of the scientific method tends to be creating unified theories.  That is what I think this model does, it is attempting to create a unified model, where all current education can fit, and from this unified model, we can see holes in current educational systems.  I'm attempting to do that research using the California State Standards.  I chose these standards, as they directly affect me as a California educator, and other states, and countries could have their own done.  Also, I should state that in some ways maybe this model is the next step in the evolutionary process of education, one wonderful thing about "evolution" of ideas, is that we DO have intelligence through the process, and we can have a "metaevolution" to higher ways of thinking.

 * The primary purpose of this educational theory is around "what" people learn, and "when". But any question of education is tied to "how".  But I'm trying to leave "how" out of it as much as I can, because there are many good educational theories on this topic, and I envision that the best of those theories can be combined with this framework to build better educational systems that address all the questions. --Jacob Walker 14:16, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello... interesting... as a mere maths teacher, i haven't thought about how everything fits together, topic or systems-wise... all i have been spending 10 years thinking about and putting into practice is the system that is the community of children in a class, and how best to serve them so that it becomes a coherent social unity... i have started another project, and wonder if this might marry your ideas...? --Fidocancan 19:38, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Category of this topic?
I think I might have placed this in the wrong area in wikiversity. I placed it under the school of Education, but maybe it should more formally be a topic? But I also hope it will become a collaborative research project? Any thoughts on where this should reside? I don't want to do multiple moves on it.

--Jacob Walker 03:03, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

 * At Wikiversity, pages in the "School:" namespace are for content development projects in a broad subject area. See: Schools. If you want this page to be associated with the Wikiversity School of Education you can do so without using the "School:" prefix in the name. It is not clear what the scope of this page is. Is it part of a Wikiversity content development project that could be called Topic:Educational Philosophy? Is it a learning resource that might be called something like Systems And Tools in Education or What should people learn?? You can certainly select more specific categories than just Education.--JWSchmidt 15:04, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Ok, that makes sense. When I first made the page, I tried reading about the namespaces but it didn't all make sense to me.  One of the issues of trying to get this into the correct name space is that it is both a topic, and a research project.  The goal of this page is to use a collaborative effort through the wiki to create a new educational philosophy/paradigm.  It really shouldn't be placed as the broad "Educational Philosophy", although the page that exists about educational philosophies should link to this page.  Also, while the paradigm deals with what people should learn, it is not the current standard paradigm of what most educators probably think about when they think about what people should learn, so I don't want to classify it as something so broad.  Although, once again, a page about what people should learn should point to this educational philosophy.

 * So as I see it, it probably should either be in a topic: name space, or the name space used for research, or both. And I appreciate any feedback on this topic. --Jacob Walker 23:53, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I went ahead and moved the page out of the school name space, since it seems that this makes more sense.--Jacob Walker 00:25, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I think you made the correct choice. Wikiversity has been granted the opportunity to have participants do some original research. The Wikiversity community is trying to make plans and policies for research (see). There has been a small amount of discussion about the idea of having a "Research:" namespace. However, my philosophical position is that research can be an integral part of education and there is no need to divide up this wiki's main namespace. Everything that is created by Wikiversity participants as learning resources and research can exist on pages in the main namespace. --JWSchmidt 01:19, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I tend to agree with you. In fact, I'm glad to see that topics are not necessarily hierarchical with just one school.  I think many things can be classified in more than one way, depending upon your model.  That is why I didn't want to say that the method that is being created with the Systems and Tools Educational Philosophy is only one.  Also, thank you for adding the see also section and link.  Along with this educational philosophy/theory, I think it would be good to have a page under the school of education that links to all the educational philosophies, theories, paradigms, etc.  (These words all mean relatively the same thing in this context) --Jacob Walker 00:50, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Gedda

Gedda is a Swedish noble family with Gude Axelsen Giedde (1510–1590) as earliest attested primogenitor. Georg Gedda was ennobled (n. 2168) by King Gustav IV Adolf of Sweden in 1797.

Speculations of whether Gude Axelsen Giedde was the great-grandson of Erengisle Gädda of the Swedish noble Gädda family from Småland remain unattested. In any case, he became the asserted primogenitor of the Gedda family ennobled in 1791.

WCHD

WCHD (99.9 FM, "Channel 999") is a commercial radio station licensed to Kettering, Ohio, and serving the Dayton metropolitan area. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. and airs a top 40 (CHR) radio format. Its studios are located just outside downtown Dayton and its transmitter is off Sandridge Drive near Interstate 75 in Moraine, Ohio.

WCHD broadcasts in the HD format. Its HD-2 channel is a simulcast of sister station WIZE, with airs a black-oriented news format.

History

The station began its history on December 16, 1993, on 94.5 MHz as alternative rock WZJX (94-5 X-Rock), Dayton's first-ever alternative station. George Wymer was General Manager; Randy Scovil was Program Director as well as the afternoon drive host. Steve Stone and Christy Chatman hosted the morning show, Andy Sims did mid-days, and Greg Johns hosted the evening shift. During the six months as an alternative station, X-Rock brought two sell-out shows to the Hara Arena: The Breeders and the Afghan Whigs, and later The Smashing Pumpkins. In the station's first ratings period (Jan–March 1994), X-Rock's ratings in the 18–34 demographic had already grown to half of longtime Dayton rock station WTUE.

In early May 1994, the station was sold to Terry Jacobs (formerly of Jacor) who decided to change the format to be Dayton's third oldies station, to compete with similar formats at 95.3 FM and 103.9 FM. On 3 May, the X-Rock staff was fired. The station began playing 20 different versions of "Louie Louie" and calling itself "Louie 95" in an effort to entice listeners by playing different versions of the mid-1960s hit "Louie, Louie", a Richard Berry-penned song popularized by The Kingsmen, and Paul Revere and The Raiders among many others. During that time it was known as "The Chicken" in reference to its mascot, a giant whole broiled chicken dressed in seasonal clothing. It became WDOL, an oldies outlet, until August 9, 1996, when consistently minuscule ratings led to a switch to Rhythmic contemporary as WBTT, "94.5 The Beat". By 1999, it shifted to Mainstream Top 40 and began a serious challenge to take on the area's longtime rival, WGTZ. It would later drop "The Beat" branding to become WDKF, "94.5 KISS-FM", in 2000, after Clear Channel expanded the brand to new markets. Despite the move, the station maintained a Rhythmic lean during that tenure.

In March 2005, WDKF held a "funeral" for "KISS-FM", and briefly stunted as "94.5 FM-Playing Whatever We Want, Whenever We Want". On March 30, 2005, at 3 PM, the all-new Channel 9-4-5 launched. Despite the changes however, the station continues to lean Rhythmic as it battle Main Line Broadcasting's Rhythmic Contemporary rival WDHT for listeners. Main Line's other station, WGTZ, dropped its Top 40 format in November 2007 and flipped to "Fly 92.9", a "We Play Everything"-type Adult hits format, making WDKF the only CHR station in Dayton. The "Channel" branding was used previously in the late 1960s by sister station WONE (AM) "Channel 98" for its then-Top 40 format when it competed with WGTZ's AM sister WING.

In May 2009, Clear Channel Communications removed all local disc jockeys from this station, and its website. The station picked up Clear Channel's new programming initiative known as Premium Choice 24 hours a day. The playlist was generated and used nationally in addition to voice tracks and liners.

WDKF previously broadcast "Dayton's New Joints" on its HD-2 subchannel before going silent. Currently, on their HD-2 channel, is the IHeartRadio Smooth Jazz format.

On May 24, 2011, Clear Channel announced that WDKF would swap signals with sister station WLQT, thus giving the former more signal coverage in the Dayton area. On May 27, 2011, at 12:00 pm EDT, Channel 9-4-5 became Channel 9-9-9, continuing scheduled programming with On Air with Ryan Seacrest radio's American Top 5 at noon.

On September 17, 2012, WDKF changed its call letters to WCHD to go with the "Channel 9-9-9" branding. Channel 9-9-9 has since hired a local afternoon disc jockey and its music is now being programmed by a local program director, Steven Lewis, from 6am - 10pm. This gives Channel 9-9-9 more of a local flavor compared to most Premium Choice [Clear Channel] stations. The station previously broadcast "Dayton's New Joints" on its HD-2 subchannel before going silent. Currently, the HD-2 channel carries the IHeartRadio Smooth Jazz format.

WCHD was the original call sign of what is now WDMK 105.9 FM in Detroit, Michigan.

User:Perl~enwikibooks/Fahrenheit 451/review

Fahrenheit 451 is an excellent science-fiction novel. If you liked George Orwell's 1984, this is a must-read. The novel covers a range of issues including censorship, war, the impact of technology on society, and life in general.

I enjoyed reading this novel, and could not put it down once I started it. I love science-fiction, so I am biased in this review, but my friend, who doesn't particulary care for science fiction, was the one who persuaded me to read this great book.

This book is a classic and should be a required novel for all high schoolers(in many states it is). I urge you to take the time to read this story. You will be glad that you did.

The Lion in Love (painting)

The Lion in Love is an 1836 oil on canvas painting in the Academic-Romantic style by Camille Roqueplan (1800–1855) now in the Wallace Collection in London.

It shows a scene of a lion allowing its claws to be pared after falling in love with a shepherdess so that he will not endanger her, told in Jean de La Fontaine's fable Le Lion amoureux , though the painter adds an erotic undercurrent reminiscent of Delilah cutting Samson's hair as well as a Romantic spin on Beauty and the Beast by making the woman the one to pare the claws, thus portraying female beauty as life-threatening, maddening and ultimately fatal. It also forms part of a contemporary fashion for the femme fatale in literature, art and opera.

It was first exhibited at the 1836 Paris Salon under the title Le Lion amoureux, before being acquired by Louis-Philippe of France's son and heir Ferdinand Philippe. His widow Helene then sold it on 18 January 1853 in Paris to Richard Seymour-Conway, 4th Marquess of Hertford, whose illegitimate son Sir Richard Wallace inherited it with the rest of the Marquess' art collection.

Comments on course structure:
Students should first get acquainted with terminology and basic principles behind 3D modeling and analysis. They should also know major software tools, and industry leaders. Each lesson should have some deliverables (for example parametric equation, short recherches or HTML page). 2D and 3D modeling should cover some typical tasks from "draw 3 concentric circles", "draw 2D gear scheme", "model dice in 3D" to "create several parts and assembly". Here we should make "forks" for several CAD. For example AutoCAD trail should contain steps needed to finish all tasks. There should be another trails like ProEngineer, Solidworks ... That is "How to model dice in AutoCAD", "How to model dice in Solidworks" and so on.

French negation.
Hi everyone.

From an orthographic point of view, the 'pas' in a phrase such as 'Je ne fais pas', 'Je ne vois pas' &c is a separate word. But, from the point of view of a linguistic analysis, is it correct to say that 'pas' is morphologically attached to the verb? As in, there is nothing that can be inserted between the verb and the negative morpheme.

Thanks

Duomillia (talk) 19:04, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * I don't think it's a particularly useful thing to do.

 * There are plenty of other words that would need to get moved into this class - jamais, aucun(e), que, rien, plus, personne and so on. Trouble is, in most cases that's not the only way those words can be used.  Personne n'a mangé le fromage.  Rien ne s'est passé.  Personne and rien in those sentences are clearly nothing to do with verb conjugation, so you have to accept them as independent words.  And it's unnecessarily complicated to say, well it's part of verb conjugation here but a separate word here.  Far simpler to analyse rien in je n'ai rien vu as the same word as rien in rien ne s'est passé.

 * It would work in the same way if you tried to analyse not as a verb ending in English. In some ways you can make a better case for this, since very often English uses shortened forms: don't, won't, haven't, aren't whereas the French forms are independent of the verbs they modify.  But you have the same problem - not all instances of not come directly after a verb.  If not has to be a separate word anyway, and the simplest analysis holds that it doesn't become a conjugation just because it happens to come directly after a verb. Kahastok talk 20:00, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Grammatically it's kind of a circumposition, isn't it? Not really a circumfix since they're not actually attached to the verb. By the way, it's not strictly true that you can't insert something between the verb and pas - you can put donc, cependant, toutefois, and peut-être between them (and probably many other words, but those 4 spring to mind immediately). Informally, sometimes you can also leave out either ne or pas, and even in formal writing you can leave out pas if you're using pouvoir. Adam Bishop (talk) 23:47, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Also note that there are constructions in which you can insert additional words between the verb and "pas". For example: "il ne mange à peu près pas (he hardly eats anything)", or "je ne fais vraiment pas" to build on the OP's original example. --Xuxl (talk) 13:59, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Also: The negative in French is not "pas", it is "ne". "Pas" originally was just another complementary like "guère", "jamais", "que", "rien", "plus", personne", etc. It's only recently in the history of French, that "pas" became such a central usage for negation.

How to make an actual double negative in Spanish?
<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:54, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * That is not the incorrect answer.
 * Esa no es la respuesta incorrecta.
 * Nobody wants to eat nothing. (Everybody wants to eat something.)

 * No hay nadie que no quiere comer nada. Serial negation is usually confined to a single clause.  The use of que in "(No hay nadie) que (no quiere comer nada)" makes it clear there are two separate negative thoughts:no hay and no quiere. μηδείς (talk) 23:34, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Storybook vs anthology vs short story
Is "storybook" mainly used for children's books while anthologies and short stories are books for older people? Or is "storybook" a child's term for anthology or short story? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:12, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * We use simple obvious terms for children storybook is a book with stories and more complicated terms like anthology to show our erudition as adults. English words first, Greek later.

Talk:David Mayer de Rothschild

Non-encyclopaedic style
I have added tags "non-encyclopaedic", "copy-paste" and "cleanup-spam" because the section "Adventure Ecology" looks like it was clearly copied-and-pasted from some sort of promotional website of that organisation. For example, though some links have been added to names of countries, the sentence:

"To undertake the Plastiki expedition Adventure Ecology was not only influenced by the principles of 'cradle-to-cradle’ design and biomimicry but brought together a multi faceted team from the fields of sustainable design, boat building, architecture and material science in order to foster a collection of new ideas and cutting edge technologies that allow the Plastiki to be a truly unique one of a kind expedition vessel."

...is (a) obviously biased and (b) should link to "sustainable design", "architecture", "materials science", "biomimicry" etc etc. And it would link to them, if it had actually been written by someone writing a Wikipedia article, rather than copy-and-pasting from some promotional Adventure Ecology site.

Liquidcentre (talk) 11:23, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Removal of information
I would like to add that I posted the Alex Jones link and it was removed right away, at least as quick as the next day. It is not fair to use censorship on Wikipedia as Primerica is doing. They called me and said to come interview with Citigroup and it turned out to be a brainwash pyramid scheme. The same is happening here. It is a POV that a link to this interview/debate should not be posted on Wiki. Removal of this, I strongly feel, is censorship. -friend

To be quite frank, it was not a notable argument, and it was simply a slip up. We don't have Donald Rumsfeld speech where he says "shot down" one of the flights on 9/11, or any of the many GWB slip ups are not on his article, either. Kevin (talk) 02:56, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I think that the Criticism was not appropriately placed, but it should be moved to its own section in the article instead of being deleted. -Trevc63 22:40, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I have no idea why someone removed the information regarding Mr Rothschild's view on global carbon taxation, but I would urge that person to leave the article intact. - This is not speculation - it was Mr Rothschild on the radio live, giving his opinion. - And is relevant to this tiny biography of his.

— Having never heard of this person and having arrived at the article by chance, I would say that the language of that section is hardly neutral. Use of the phrase "admit to" (implying that he was exposed in some way) followed by a statement in which he made an evident mistake are ways to lead the reader to an unfavorable conclusion about this person. By the way, saying that "X says A, and X also says B, but B is false, then A must be false too" is, of course, fallacious reasoning. That section needs to be rewritten from a neutral point of view. Tinchoman 05:16, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Alex Jones Link
I don't think it's an relevant issue to the biography. Firstly David De Rothschild was being sarcastic when referring to Jupiter and Mars being closer to the sun. Secondly, the carbon tax issue was not controversial. If this wiki says that Mr Rothschild believed in a carbon tax, then you most do the same with every other person on wikipedia who stated the believed in a carbon tax to fight global warming. Many people believe in a carbon tax, however unless the person is a strong advocate for it, someone who would be in the carbon tax wiki itself. There is no need to have it in his wiki for stating he believed it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:17, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

To the person below who requests a "real" interview well it depends on what you mean by 'real' I suspect that by real, you mean an interview with a one sided view of the discussed subject which in this case would be global warming and the carbon tax.

To call Mr Jones interview invalid is jocular, he is national talk show host broadcast on many popular radio stations. If someone disagrees with his view on carbon taxing that is fair, but to degrade this interview as invalid simply based on the fact that he does not agree with Mr Rothschild is a POV.

As for population control for one to deem this an 'invalid' and 'ridiculous' theory that individual would need to live in space. Population control is a real study and based in reality and documented facts. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_control Orasis 17:35, 13 July 2007 (UTC) --

Who deleted the Alex Jones link with David de Rothschild?

That debate is 100% relevant to this page. Stop censoring information. This isn't Nazi Germany.

-- Nazi Germany huh... :P I suggest it be renamed, to describe it as an "interview" would be fallacious. It mostly consisted of Alex Jones ranting about completely unrelated things (such as "genetically engineered chimera" and "population control"), interspersed by brief moments of Rothschild trying (very politely, I might add) to stay on message. It sounds like this was an "ambush" interview, at best, as Rothschild seemed surprised at Jones' personal ire for him. It's interesting you mentioned Nazi Germany - in the 'interview', it seemed Alex hated this man so much he could barely tolerate the idea of even letting him speak. I found Rothschild to be eloquent, articulate and very patient. It actually was a very foolish idea of Jones to let him on the show - because Rothschild exposed Jones as the loose screw that he obviously is. So much repressed anger. Suggest someone finds some other, "real" interviews with Rothschild and puts them on this page.

-- yes, Rothschild was "eloquent, articulate and very patient". he's comment "bring me some food" in the end of the discussion proves this very well. whatever, the link is relevant and stays.

-- Wow. You focused on the 1% of the conversation in which he wasn't eloquent to further your point. Sounds a lot like Alex Jones :) I don't believe he was unaware of what he was saying - it just proves he considered the entire conversation absurd and the only way to silence that nutcase was to play into his delusions that this poor man was somehow at the helm of a "neo feudal" empire. If someone accused me of being at the heart of a neo-feudal empire, and didn't listen to any rational arguments? Well, yes, I think I would ask them to "bring me some food" too - it's called humor - a trait that AJ was completely lacking throughout the duration of that debate on the phone, he was so blinded by his hatred. Anyway. Back on topic - I changed the link to say "Debate" and "conversation", rather than "interview". I think to call it an interview deludes the reader into thinking that Rothschild was speaking to an actual journalist, asking questions, rather than browbeating their guest.

<EMAIL_ADDRESS>--<IP_ADDRESS> 11:46, 11 July 2007 (UTC) --<IP_ADDRESS> 11:51, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Please sign posts, folks. I'm sure the Jones link will be scrubbed.  That said, if you're looking for humor, I'd say it was hilarious when Rothschild claimed Jupiter was closer to the sun than earth.  It was also hilarious when Jones said "Take me lord Rothschild, take me!" in immitation of a woman being impressed at Rothschilds self-styled role of "adventurer".  Also, Jones never accused David Mayer de Rothschild personally of being the head of a neo-feudal empire, he did however infer that his family was involved with such.  Rothschild repeatedly accused Jones of being an oil baron, which is absurd and ironic considering the Rothschild investments in big oil.  Anyway, if we're to believe David de Rothschild's book, then the solution to global warming is to wear sweaters, ride in electric geo metros packed like clown cars, and build straw houses.  If anyone can show me a Rothschild (of the actual European banking line) that doesn't live in a castle and instead lives in a straw house, I will actually waste money on this chap's silly, insulting book.  I wonder how many beautiful trees are now dead because David de Rothschild wanted to publish this book.  As for Rothschild's demeanor, of course he was somewhat calm, it's part of the training.  The best liars are always calm because they have gone to schools where that selling point technique is taught.  It's called public relations, and it only works on dullards in my opinion.
 * Additionally, can anyone find actual documentation of Rothschild travelling across Antarctica? So far, I've turned up a paltry two photos.  If I were going to travel across Antarctica, I'd have filmed the entire thing and would have had thousands of photos taken.  I'm not suggesting he wasn't in Antarctica or that he didn't actually travel across, but was there a documentary or something?

"hyper_individualist" you've clearly demonstrated your incapacity to contribute to this article in any rational, unbiased way. To suggest that somebody being polite and rational is "part of the training" is hilarious - as if somehow sane, rational dialogue is subhuman or unacceptable. But just to prove you wrong - go f*ck yourself. This notion that if somebody is championing sustainability causes that they somehow must live in a grass hut and not use any resources is a ridiculous and tired tactic of the far right and people with an agenda linked to polluting industries. Rothschild's use of the term "oil guy" in the context of this interview was quite obviously not an accusation (though it should be noted that at no stage did Alex Jones deny that he had oil shares), rather he was baiting Jones for a response - and it worked - Jones' response was that of an insane, ranting teenage boy. And furthermore, if it's alright for Alex Jones to claim that a perfectly calm and quiet guest (who by all indications was a victim of ambush journalism in this instance, having come on to promote his book rather than cop a serve from Jones) is part of a vast global conspiracy to enslave the people and eliminate 2/3'ds of the world's population, I think he's perfectly within his rights to throw around a few unsubstantiated allegations of his own, don't you? If Jones insists on attacking his guests' credibility on completely fallacious and fantastical grounds, I think they're well within their rights to return the favor. Shall we start with Jones' constant carping that the mainstream press are trying to promote a culture of fear among the masses? Every single article on PrisonPlanet or InfoWars warns of all sorts of incredible doomsday scenarios - the only difference is they claim they will be brought about by the "NWO" - all the while promoting all sorts of "doomsday" survival schwag, water purifiers and "Live forever!" or "Miracle Cancer Cure!" stuff on his site. Conflict of interest? Conflict of interest? Alex Jones is a smart guy. However, his cult-like following is an alarming and frightening trend. It's incredible how the very tactics Alex Jones accuses the mainstream media of are not even near off limits in his own diatribes. You mention the mistakes that Rothschild made regarding planetary distances. It's amazing how that entire interview to Jones was boiled down to Rothschild's ONE malaprop, all the while completely ignoring all of the other salient points in his interview (of which there were vastly more). Do you realise how long we would be here if the same logic were applied to Alex Jones' propaganda? - <IP_ADDRESS>

Wow. I can't believe there's no mention of the interview. One reason why I scarcely use Wikipedia anymore for controversial people/subjects. Just goes to show what great lengths people go to for censorship and not telling the whole story. Real slick that the same people against Alex Jones are part of this pro-censorship. Go ahead and call yourself an intellectual. You're just retarded. By the way, sorry to the poor soul that tries to include the interview, just wait for the amen chorus on the side of the guy that removed it for you. You can't win unless you're mainstream in any case. Shimdidly (talk) 01:59, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Being 'A Rothschild'
I think it may be worth adding a section devoted to David Mayer's acknowledgment of and position on being a Rothschild. Particularly, his acknowledgment of the criticism that comes along with being a Rothschild and an environmentalist. I'm new to Wikipedia editing, but perhaps this article Outside Magazine could be used as a reference / starting point. Particularly this quote: "Some people will always make the assumption ‘There's a rich guy, a Rothschild; he paid a guide, the world's fucked, and who cares?' " he says. "But I could sit there and do nothing or use my name and do something."

David Rothschild made a complete fool out of himself telling radio host Alex Jones on July 6th 2007 that the planets of Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are closer to the Sun than planet Earth. Al Gore together with Rothschild have also been criticised for using the real environmental problems of Earth to promote a global carbon tax and a one-child policy (and in a larger context: a one world government) as a solution for their orchestrated man-made global warming problem

Plastiki merge
The Plastiki article is not notable enough to merit a standalone article, but has materiel that could be useful in this article, so I propose a merge. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:31, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

 * The Plastiki expedition has been covered by major news outlets including CNN, the BBC and National Geographic. The vessel itself and the purpose of the journey is more interesting than Mr. Rothschild.  Certainly there are many more people interested in environmentalism, sailing, and sustainable design than in this person.  For that reason, I have re-focused the article onto the ship herself.  I think the suggestion of merging should be dropped from the Plastiki page. TDuVal (talk) 21:24, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Interesting is not the same as notability. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 07:11, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Notability (from your link) comes from "Significant coverage" by "Reliable" "Sources" that are "Independent of the subject". All of those criteria are met with this vessel which has been covered by CNN and the BBC.  I know this only "presumes" notability, but, on top of that, the voyage was featured on the English WP front page on April 1, 2010.  So, can we remove the merge suggestion now? TDuVal (talk) 06:06, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Sure, for now. It's hard to say currently what it's impact will be over time; if there are significant lasting effects of the vessel's construction &/or the proposed voyage, then it meets notability requirements, but it's a bit too early to apply that standard. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:56, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

I agree with <IP_ADDRESS>. --Triplespy (talk) 20:28, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

As Mjroots notes: Per long-established WP:SHIPS convention, ships are notable enough to sustain individual articles. A separate article for Plastiki makes it possible to add a standardized infobox with data about the vessel. Small boat sailors have an ongoing fascination with attempts to cross oceans with unlikely craft like Abora and Charles J. Moore's JUNK Raft, which was made out of an old Cessna and plastic bottle flotation pontoons. This article may eventually help resolve disputes among sailing folk as to whether this expedition was just a tall tale. Plastiki may not be a major advance in marine architecture, but there are doubtless a few techniques in its construction useful for other improvised watercraft!

Sundown murders

The Sundown murders were the murders of Sally (Thyra) Bowman (43), her daughter Wendy Bowman (14), and family friend Thomas Whelan (22) on Sundown Station in northern South Australia outback in December 1957. The search for their killer was one of the biggest manhunts in South Australian history.

Murders
Pete and Sally Bowman with their two daughters Wendy and Marion managed Glen Helen station in the Northern Territory. In November 1957, a family friend named Thomas Whelan (22) travelled north to visit the family while on holiday. The Bowmans agreed to travel with Whelan back to Adelaide via Alice Springs by car. After arriving in Alice Springs on 4 December 1957, Pete and Marion took a plane and flew to Adelaide.

The remaining three travelled by car, with two family dogs. They had £85 in cash and were last spotted at Kulgera Homestead near the South Australian border, where the party purchased petrol. They then continued south towards Adelaide, but never arrived.

A huge ground search was launched, bosses and workers from nearby properties joining in. Eight days later, the vehicle was spotted by a Royal Australian Air Force aircrew under a clump of trees at the deserted Sundown Station.

Reaching the car some hours later, Aboriginal trackers found the bodies. All three victims had been beaten about the head and then shot. The trackers also found the spot where the killer had parked his car. They noted that the car was towing a two-wheel trailer. First reports announced that witnesses had seen a grey Ford Zephyr towing a green trailer travelling north to Alice Springs in the area around the time of the slayings. The car was later sighted east of Tennant Creek. Finke police and trackers played an important part in the murder investigation.

The prosecution case is as follows.

 * Mr. Scarfe said that what really happened might never be known. He suggested, however, that Raymond John Bailey held up the Bowman party at gunpoint and demanded money for petrol for the journey to Mount Isa, 1,000 miles away. Whelan went for his gun and was shot in the back. Bailey then clubbed the women with Whelan's gun (a Remington), put the bodies in the Bowman's Vanguard and drove to the opposite side of the road to hide them. He helped himself to Whelan's wallet before he hid the bodies. "Petrol is dear up in that neck of the woods and Bailey's old car and caravan would not be doing more than 10 or 12 miles to the gallon." Mr. Scarfe said.

The accused
Raymond John Bailey was born at Gilgandra on 3 December 1932. He had four brothers and a sister. Bailey left school at 14 and got work as a carpenter. He married young and worked for a time as an itinerant worker. He purchased a black 1938 DeSoto in Renmark in September 1957 and took a rifle he had agreed to buy but never paid for in Wirrulla.

Bailey was travelling north in the DeSoto car and caravan with his wife and young son. Bailey had told another traveller on the Alice Springs road that he was heading north looking for work.

He was working at Mount Isa Hospital, Mount Isa, Queensland, when the law caught up with him. Bailey was arrested in Mount Isa in January 1958 on charges of false pretences in relation of a motor vehicle and being in possession of an unlicensed weapon. Two days later he was charged with the murder of Thyra Bowman. He was extradited to Adelaide where he stood trial.

Trial
The trial took place in Adelaide.

David Iles met Bailey when both men worked around Wirrulla, South Australia, in September 1957. Bailey and Iles struck up a friendship and the men went rabbit shooting. Iles later agreed to sell to Bailey his huntsman rifle but Bailey skipped town without paying for it. Iles took Constable Grope to the spot where the men fired the rifle and Grope recovered used cartridge cases. The cartridges later matched cartridges found at the murder scene.

Bailey was tried, convicted and executed in Adelaide Gaol. He was hanged on 24 June 1958. His two brothers had visited him the day before.

Stay of execution
Bailey managed to get a stay of execution of one week by claiming that he was not the trio's killer but he himself killed the real killer in self-defence. The State Cabinet made a decision to test the accuracy of Bailey's new statement. The police flew Bailey back to the scene of the crime to see if Bailey could produce a body. Bailey and a fourteen-man team of police trackers, lawyers and gaol wardens flew to Alice Springs then drove south to the crime scene at Sundown Station. Bailey's story was that on the night of the murders he came across a man removing Mrs Bowman's shoes and after a fight he stabbed the man to death and then buried the man 4 mi north of where the victims' bodies were found. After a three-and-a-half-hour search found no body, Bailey stated, "I have nothing more to say."

Later investigations
Author and investigative journalist Stephen Bishop claims that detective Glen Patrick Hallahan lied on oath and in records of police interviews with Raymond Bailey. Detective Hallahan was one of the three high-ranking Queensland detectives known as the "Rat Pack" who had been exposed as corrupt by the Fitzgerald Inquiry in the late 1980s.

The main points that Bishop advanced included that the murder weapon, which Bailey claimed he had sold to a man near Coober Pedy before the murders, was never found. The description of the murders in Bailey's confession contradicted the post mortem results. Bailey claimed to have shot all three of the victims as they ran from him; however, the autopsies indicated that the Bowmans and Whelan were shot while lying on the ground unconscious. During his trial, Bailey claimed that he had only signed the confession after hearing his wife crying in another room. Bailey told the court that detectives then told him that they would leave her alone if he signed. A grey Ford Zephyr was seen near the murder scene while Bailey drove a black 1938 DeSoto. Footprints believed to belong to the killer had been found at the murder scene, and were estimated as being a size 7 or 8. Bailey wore a size 5½ shoe.

In February 2013, Bishop appealed to the Governor of South Australia, Kevin Scarce, to grant a posthumous pardon for Bailey, but was declined.

Ship Turret Types
The links on this page for Turret and Casemate lead (mainly) to articles on building structures. Anyone feel passionate enough about these warship components to fix the links or write the articles?

Issue with casement transition
Per Conway's and other sources, the addition of twin 6" guns in gunhouses (not turrets, strictly speaking, as they were not armored), was an afterthought, a response to the criticism that the ships were undergunned compared to the Hawkins class. Since they were not part of the original layout, you wouldn't really say they were a transition design.  Besides, the move from casements to turrets in the main battery dates back to the Monitor, and even as these ships were building, casements for secondary batteries were not part of significant future designs, with the exception of the second and third generation Japanese fast battleships and battlecruisers (never built).  These ships were archaic as launched.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zorro6204 (talk • contribs) 02:59, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Biratnagar Jute Mill Strike

The Biratnagar Jute Mill Strike (Majdur Hartal) of March 1947 was a labor strike in Biratnagar, Nepal, by workers and laborers of Biratnagar Jute Mill, Ltd. The strike was initially part of a dispute between mill workers and management regarding labor rights, but gradually the strike grew into a nationwide anti-regime movement.

Background
According to the mill workers, there were no labor rights in the mill, and the owners disregarded the workers' input. The living conditions of workers were also very poor, with no running water in the quarters. It also was clear that a handful of people were suppressing the workers in the mill.

Strike
The demonstration started on March 4, 1947 under the leadership of Girija Prasad Koirala, along with Tarini Prasad Koirala, Man Mohan Adhikari, and Yuvaraj Adhikari, as employees in the mill. The strike was launched with initial demands purely based on labor rights, but later the workers also demanded political trade union rights. The Nepali Congress supported the strike at Biratnagar. On March 9, Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala joined the strike with his supporters and the strike grew in number. The Rana dynasty regime sent state troops to Biratnagar to put down the strike. The strike ended when the troops reached Biratnagar after they arrested the leaders. Some of these leaders escaped capture by fleeing to India. Six National Congress leaders (Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala, Girija Prasad Koirala, Tarini Prasad Koirala, Gehendrahari Sharma, Manmohan Adhikari and Yubaraj Adhikari) were walked to Kathmandu as prisoners. The Nepali Congress held a conference in Jogbani, India and resolved to initiate a nationwide Satyagraha, or civil disobedience movement. Thus, the countrywide anti-Rana demonstration started.

Aftermath
On April 13 the Anti-Rana movement began as scheduled with thousands of Nepali voluntarily getting arrested in Biratnagar, Kathmandu, Janakpur, and Birgunj. They demanded release of all political prisoners, as well as the institutionalization of civil rights. The turnout in Kathmandu unnerved the Rana regime. In Kathmandu, tens of thousands of commoners gathered in the street and protested in an anti-Rana procession. On May 16, after weeks of protest, Padma Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana, the prime minister of Nepal, gave a speech in which he announced his desire to bring more non-Rana commoners into the government.

Releasing of detainees
After his speech, Padma Shamsher ordered the release of most of the detained protestors. However, Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala and his associates from Biratnagar still remained in detention. Many Indian politicians made requests to release them. Finally in August 1947 they were released at the request of Mahatma Gandhi.

Redway Manor

Redway Manor is a manor house on the Isle of Wight, situated in the parish of  Arreton.

A member of Arreton Manor, it lies to the south of Perreton Manor, between it and the Budbridge and Hale moors. It was devised by Thomas Lord Colepeper to his natural daughter Charlotte, who married Robert Pushall towards the close of the 17th century. After being variously owned, it was bought in 1898 by Mr. Samuel Peters and as of 1912 was occupied by his son Mr. J. C. Peters. The house, a building very similar to Perreton, has lately been remodelled, gables added on the south and a porch to the north front. It lies to the north of the railway about midway between Merston and Horringford, commanding a fine view of the valley.

Pieces of April (song)

"Pieces of April" is a ballad written by Dave Loggins which became a Top 20 hit for Three Dog Night in January 1973.

Three Dog Night version
First recorded by Loggins for his 1972 debut album Personal Belongings, "Pieces of April" was recorded for the 1972 Three Dog Night album Seven Separate Fools produced and arranged by Richard Podolor with Three Dog Night themselves credited as co-arrangers. According to Three Dog Night vocalist Chuck Negron, the group's two other vocalists Danny Hutton and Cory Wells left London where the Seven Separate Fools album was being recorded before the album was complete, necessitating Negron recording the album's final two tracks - which included "Pieces of April" - without them. As a result, "Pieces of April" became the second of two Three Dog Night singles not to feature all three of the group's vocalists, at least on background vocals, with the first being their inaugural Hot 100 single: the 1969's "Try a Little Tenderness" sung by Wells.

Released in October 1972 as the followup to the #1 hit "Black and White", "Pieces of April" was an atypically delicate Three Dog Night track, being particularly distinct from the rollicking "Black and White",  and "Pieces of April" would not become one of Three Dog Night's biggest hits, rising no higher than #19 on the Hot 100 in Billboard magazine whose Easy Listening hit ranking afforded "Pieces of April" a #6 peak. In Canada, "Pieces of April" ranked as high as #13 on the national hit parade featured in RPM magazine, whose Easy Listening survey ranked the track as high as #9.

Other versions

 * The song's composer Dave Loggins had recorded "Pieces of April" for his 1972 debut album Personal Belongings from which it was single-released in January 1973. That was the same month the Three Dog Night version reached the Top 20, with Loggins' single release evidently being an attempt to generate a C&W hit. Loggins would remake "Pieces of April" for his final album, the 1979 release Dave Loggins. "Pieces of April" was single-released and became an Easy Listening hit, ranking as high as #22 on the Adult Contemporary chart in Billboard
 * Andy Williams recorded "Pieces of April" for his 1972 album, Alone Again (Naturally).
 * Johnny Mathis recorded "Pieces of April" in the 1972 sessions for his album Me and Mrs. Jones. The track was shelved and not released until 2017 when it was issued as a bonus track on the CD release of Me and Mrs. Jones, as well as on the box set entitled The Voice of Romance: The Columbia Original Album Collection.
 * Twiggy recorded "Pieces of April" for her 1976 self-titled album.

Karaniing

The karaniing (or kereb among the Temiar people or Senoi people, or pergram among the Jah Hut people) is a type of bamboo tube zither played among the Orang Asli tribal peoples of Malaysia.

The pergam variant is made with four strings (in two pairs) cut from the bamboo itself, making this instrument an idiochord. The strings are tuned in intervals of a minor third and often played for ceremonial purposes.

A variant zither called the krem is also played by the Jah Hut people, but is heterochord (strings made of a separate material) vice idiochord. Though the term krem may also be used for the karaniing by the Senoi.

Seminar in Tradecraft and HumInt/Moscow Rules/Moscow Rule 38

 Moscow Rule number 38: If an alert is issued, they must pay a price and so must you. By raising an alert, the adversary shows their hand. In effect, they allow you to know what they knew about your operation. This is why police don't start arresting drug dealers as soon as they find them, but trace out their lines of supply and find out where the traffic is coming from. Arrests are then made all at once, to create maximum disruption to the criminal activities. To make arrests early would simply tip off the crooks that their operation has been compromised.

 Examples  Student Commentary on This Rule
 * (From Wikipedia) The objective of counter-intelligence is to identify hostile intelligence operatives. Once identification has been made, the operative is not necessarily arrested immediately. A decision must be made, and hostile operatives can be left alone for a period of time so as not to reveal the existence of counter-intelligence operations. Nonetheless, an identified operative must be cut off from access to further secure information, without letting them know their cover is blown. They might then be given disinformation, either directly or indirectly. An assessment must be made as to the extent of the damage caused by that operative. Eventually, the operative and his handlers will realize their operation has been compromised if useless disinformation is being passed, but this creates time for the difficult process of "walking the dog backwards" to determine what has been compromised within the target organization. That is the point at which an arrest is usually made. Sometimes the process of feeding disinformation can be useful, and a hostile operative may be left in place for years. Occasionally attempts are made to "turn" a mole; that is, gain his cooperation without exposing to his controllers that his cover has been blown. Turning a mole can make him an unwilling agent of either side, either to continue the feed of disinformation, or being coerced at threat of imprisonment to betray his compatriot organization. In the famous case of Arkady Shevchenko, a Soviet diplomat to the United Nations who asked to defect, rather than accept his defection the CIA required he remain in place and engage in espionage. Shevchenko was a professional diplomat, not a spy, and he found the stressful work nerve-wracking.

Lisp Programming/Beginning Lisp

Lisp syntax is very simple and easy to understand. A list is a series of atoms surrounded by parentheses, and the first atom of a list is a function. Any atoms after the first are parameters of the function. An example Lisp expression to add the numbers 1 and 2 together might look like this: (+ 1 2) As you can see, the expression is a list. The first atom is +, which is also a function to be evaluated. 1 and 2 are the parameters of the + function.

You can also use a list as a parameter of a function like this, which adds the numbers 1 and 2 together, but somewhat more fancily: (+ 1 (+ 1 1)) In this example, the second parameter of the + function is a list. The first atom is a function: +. So the inner list is evaluated to two (1+1=2), and then that result is used as the second parameter of the outer list, which then gives the result 3.

There are of course many other functions in Lisp. Some of the most basic are these: +, -, /, *, quote, set, and cons. It should be obvious what the +, -, *, and / functions do and how they work.

The quote function returns its first argument, unevaluated. This is useful for passing a form (expression) to a function, without first evaluating that form (expression). (quote (param1 param2)) would return (param1 param2)

quote can also be abbreviated as '. ' goes "outside" the list that it acts on. So '(param1 param2) would return (param1 param2) just like in the first example.

The cons function constructs a list by adding an item to a list. Adding an item to the empty list ' creates a new list. (cons 1 ') returns (1)

(cons 1 (cons 2 (cons 3 '))) returns (1 2 3) Many of the attributes of Lisp are due to the fact that lists are constructed of conses.

Variables
In Lisp, there are several ways to set a variable. Here are the most common.

Setq sets a variable to a given value. If the variable doesn't exist, then it is created. All variables created with setq are global. Setq works like this: (setq variable-name )

An example bit o' code using setq would be this: (setq camel "I am a camel!") (print camel) Which should print "I am a camel!" when it executes.

Talk:Introduction to psychology/Consciousness

I am new to wikipedia, so I do not know much of the protocal when it comes to writing/editing articles, but it seems logical to include in this lesson explanations of sleep, hypnosis and the psychological effects of drugs.

I am currently in the process of copying my psychology notes on to wikipedia. Hopefully that will make sure that all the points that need to be covered are covered. My hope is, when I am done for this lesson, that I can go back and make the text move in more a lecture like tone, followed by citations from 3rd party sources. If anyone would like to elaborate on the points already mentioned or would like to add new content, I strongly encourage the user to do so. Blitzkrieg 02:27, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

 * In addition to content with "lecture like tone", would you be willing to include some "learn by doing" content? There are some great "experiments" that people can do in order to probe and study some interesting aspects of their conscious experiences. --JWSchmidt 02:58, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Certainly. Your points are well taken, it just make take me until the end of this week to impliment such changes.  Blitzkrieg 00:25, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

 * No rush. One of the most interesting "experiments" I ever did was spend a year keeping track of all my dreams. I wonder if we could set up a project to collect experiences of people who tried doing that. I found that with practice I became very good at remembering my dreams. --JWSchmidt 01:51, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The dream journal is worth pursuing. I had a "dreamstorm" just now: could an instrument be invented that monitors your brain waves, determines when you're having an interesting dream, and wakes you up so you can write it down?Toydesigner 23:35, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I did come away from my experience with keeping track of my dreams wishing I could ignore the boring dreams and just "focus" on the interesting ones. I'm not sure that there is a simple and detectable physiological indicator of which dreams a dreamer will find interesting. --JWSchmidt 01:32, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
