= Family Counselling and Marriage Therapy = Family counselling is categorized as a branch of psychotherapy that works with families and couples in intimate relationships to nurture change and development. It's more likely to revise systems in terms of interaction between relations.

Family therapy can employ techniques and exercises from cognitive therapy, behaviour modification, interpersonal therapy, or other sorts of individual therapy. Like with other sorts of treatment, the techniques employed will depend upon the precise problems the client or clients present with.

The different schools of group psychotherapy have firm faith during a common belief that, regardless of what problem hurled to be the origin of the matter, and no matter the clients considering it as an "individual" or "family" issue, involving families in solutions often does the stream of it. The talents of the family therapist include the efficiency to ace smooth conversations during a way that fuels the strength and wisdom of the systems.

Several frameworks are brought in by family therapists applied mainly to varying human behaviour.

History and theoretical frameworks
Formal gestures of conciliation, mainly to assist individuals and families to figure out problems that have hurled in many cultures, throughout history.

It is often reported that group therapy as a particular practice may have had its origins within the social movements of the 19th century within the US or the UK. There was initially huge influence from psychoanalysis and social psychiatry, and later from learning theory and behaviour therapy - and significantly, clinicians began to articulate various theories about the character and functioning of the family as an entity that was a quite mere aggregation of individuals. The history of the therapy also unveils profound paradigm shifts in understanding the causative factors that contribute to emotional disorders.

It is without saying that one among the earliest paradigms for getting into terms with human comprehension is predicated on self-reliance and libertarianism. A theme, applying to dysfunction more generally, was that of the ‘identified patient’ or ‘presenting problem’ as a manifestation of or surrogate for the family's, or maybe society's, problems.

Murray Bowen, the progenitor of this school, presented a seminal professional paper in 1967 on his own process of differentiation from his family of origin. This laid the groundwork for his specialise in the notice of, and disengagement from, toxic triangles in one’s family of origin.

The skills of the marriage and family therapist in straddling multicultural issues
Family therapists must be regardful of cultural diversity, and more of differences in cultural modulation by laying arms before stereotyping, and more flexible than in handling mainstream families. additionally, relationship skills got to be focused in ways during which could even be contrary to traditional practices, while structuring skills may have to be tailored to the precise needs of multicultural families.

The difference between a licensed clinical counsellor and a marriage and family therapist
Within the hue of a psychological state, LMFTs are generally considered a speciality field and operate within a narrower scope of practice. Whereas LPCCs operate more generally within the sector of psychological state counselling, MFTs tend to possess more experience focusing solely on couples and families. When treating clients, LMFTs check out behaviour from a social and relational context, that specialize in the client’s microsystems: settings and groups that directly impact a client’s well-being, like family, school, or the workplace.

Since problems with interpersonal conflict, values, and ethics are often more pronounced in relationship therapy than in individual therapy, there has been a debate within the profession about the varied values that are inherent the various theoretical models of therapy and therefore the role of the therapist's own values within the therapeutic process, and the way prospective clients should best set about finding a therapist whose values and objectives are most according to their own.

An ethical dilemma is considered as a decision-making problem between two possible moral imperatives, neither of which is unambiguously acceptable or preferable.

Ethical dilemmas are often solved in various ways, for instance by showing that the claimed situation is merely apparent and doesn't really exist (thus isn't a paradox logically), or that the answer to the moral dilemma involves choosing the greater good and lesser evil (as discussed in value theory), or that the entire framing of the matter omits creative alternatives (such as peacemaking), or (more recently) that situational ethics or situated ethics must apply because the case can't be far away from context and still be understood. cf. case-based reasoning on this process. an alternate to situational ethics is graded absolutism.

A popular ethical conflict is that between an important or injunction to not steal and one to worry for a family that you simply cannot afford to feed without stolen money. Debates on this often revolve around the availability of alternate means of income or support like a social safety net, charity, etc. the talk is in its starkest form when framed as stealing food. Under an ethical system during which stealing is usually wrong and letting one's family die from starvation is usually wrong, an individual in such a situation would be forced to commit one wrong to avoid committing another, and be in constant conflict with those whose view of the acts varied.

Ultragraph C*-algebra

In mathematics, an ultragraph C*-algebra is a universal C*-algebra generated by partial isometries on a collection of Hilbert spaces constructed from ultragraphs. pp. 6-7. These C*-algebras were created in order to simultaneously generalize the classes of graph C*-algebras and Exel–Laca algebras, giving a unified framework for studying these objects. This is because every graph can be encoded as an ultragraph, and similarly, every infinite graph giving an Exel-Laca algebras can also be encoded as an ultragraph.

Ultragraphs
An ultragraph $$\mathcal{G} = (G^0, \mathcal{G}^1, r, s)$$ consists of a set of vertices $$G^0$$, a set of edges $$\mathcal{G}^1$$, a source map $$s:\mathcal{G}^1 \to G^0$$, and a range map $$r : \mathcal{G}^1 \to P(G^0) \setminus \{ \emptyset \}$$ taking values in the power set collection $$P(G^0) \setminus \{ \emptyset \}$$ of nonempty subsets of the vertex set. A directed graph is the special case of an ultragraph in which the range of each edge is a singleton, and ultragraphs may be thought of as generalized directed graph in which each edges starts at a single vertex and points to a nonempty subset of vertices.

Example
An easy way to visualize an ultragraph is to consider a directed graph with a set of labelled vertices, where each label corresponds to a subset in the image of an element of the range map. For example, given an ultragraph with vertices and edge labels"$\mathcal{G}^0 = \{v,w,x \}$, $\mathcal{G}^1 = \{e,f,g \}$"with source an range maps $$\begin{matrix} s(e) = v & s(f) = w & s(g) = x \\ r(e) = \{v,w,x \} & r(f) = \{x \} & r(g) = \{v,w \} \end{matrix}$$ can be visualized as the image on the right.

Ultragraph algebras
Given an ultragraph $$\mathcal{G} = (G^0, \mathcal{G}^1, r, s)$$, we define $$\mathcal{G}^0$$ to be the smallest subset of $$P(G^0)$$ containing the singleton sets $$\{ \{ v \} : v \in G^0 \}$$, containing the range sets $$\{ r(e) : e \in \mathcal{G}^1 \}$$, and closed under intersections, unions, and relative complements. A Cuntz–Krieger $$\mathcal{G}$$-family is a collection of projections $$\{ p_A : A \in \mathcal{G}^0 \}$$ together with a collection of partial isometries $$\{ s_e : e \in \mathcal{G}^1 \}$$ with mutually orthogonal ranges satisfying

 * 1) $$p_{\emptyset}$$, $$ p_A p_B = p_{A \cap B}$$, $$p_A + p_B - p_{A \cap B} = p_{A \cup B}$$ for all $$A \in \mathcal{G}^0$$,
 * 2) $$s_e^*s_e = p_{r(e)}$$ for all $$e \in \mathcal{G}^1$$,
 * 3) $$p_v = \sum_{s(e)=v} s_e s_e^*$$ whenever $$v \in G^0$$ is a vertex that emits a finite number of edges, and
 * 4) $$s_e s_e^* \le p_{s(e)}$$ for all $$e \in \mathcal{G}^1$$.

The ultragraph C*-algebra $$C^*(\mathcal{G})$$ is the universal C*-algebra generated by a Cuntz–Krieger $$\mathcal{G}$$-family.

Properties
Every graph C*-algebra is seen to be an ultragraph algebra by simply considering the graph as a special case of an ultragraph, and realizing that $$\mathcal{G}^0$$ is the collection of all finite subsets of $$G^0$$ and $$p_A = \sum_{v \in A} p_v$$ for each $$A \in \mathcal{G}^0$$. Every Exel–Laca algebras is also an ultragraph C*-algebra: If $$A$$ is an infinite square matrix with index set $$I$$ and entries in $$\{ 0, 1 \}$$, one can define an ultragraph by $$G^0 :=$$, $$G^1 := I$$, $$s(i) = i$$, and $$r(i) = \{ j \in I : A(i,j)=1 \}$$. It can be shown that $$C^*(\mathcal{G})$$ is isomorphic to the Exel–Laca algebra $$\mathcal{O}_A$$.

Ultragraph C*-algebras are useful tools for studying both graph C*-algebras and Exel–Laca algebras. Among other benefits, modeling an Exel–Laca algebra as ultragraph C*-algebra allows one to use the ultragraph as a tool to study the associated C*-algebras, thereby providing the option to use graph-theoretic techniques, rather than matrix techniques, when studying the Exel–Laca algebra. Ultragraph C*-algebras have been used to show that every simple AF-algebra is isomorphic to either a graph C*-algebra or an Exel–Laca algebra. They have also been used to prove that every AF-algebra with no (nonzero) finite-dimensional quotient is isomorphic to an Exel–Laca algebra.

While the classes of graph C*-algebras, Exel–Laca algebras, and ultragraph C*-algebras each contain C*-algebras not isomorphic to any C*-algebra in the other two classes, the three classes have been shown to coincide up to Morita equivalence.

2019 World Athletics Championships – Men's pole vault

The men's pole vault at the 2019 World Athletics Championships was held at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha from 28 September to 1 October 2019.

Summary
The field contained a who's who of contemporary pole vaulters, save 2015 champion Shawnacy Barber. World record holder Renaud Lavillenie and 2011 champion Paweł Wojciechowski didn't make the final. In the final, 2013 champion Raphael Holzdeppe and Olympic champion Thiago Braz bowed out, unable to clear 5.80m. That height selected the medalists and it was the same three who had cleared 6 metres earlier in the season, all three perfect to that point.

At 5.87m, all three missed their first attempt. Armand Duplantis cleared it on his second attempt, matched by Piotr Lisek, but defending champion Sam Kendricks missed again, not only taking him out of the lead, but leaving him only one more attempt to be allowed to continue. He made an adjustment to the placement of his standards then made it for new life. At 5.92m, Duplantis and Lisek missed their first attempts, Kendricks made his. Advantage Kendricks. Duplantis missed his next attempt, then Lisek decided to go for the win and saved his two remaining attempts for the next height. Now the pressure was on Duplantis. He made his attempt, putting him into silver medal position.

At 5.97m, none of the three could get over on their first two attempts. Lisek was eliminated and had to settle for bronze. Again under pressure, Duplantis and Kendricks both made their final attempt. The bar moved to 6.02m with Kendricks holding the lead. Neither were able to make their first two attempts, when Duplantis failed a third time, Kendricks celebrated the successful defense of his title.

At the end of the competition, the medallists celebrated together on the pole vault mat. Their act of competitor camaraderie earned them a place on the shortlist for the International Fair Play Award.

Partial sorting

In computer science, partial sorting is a relaxed variant of the sorting problem. Total sorting is the problem of returning a list of items such that its elements all appear in order, while partial sorting is returning a list of the k smallest (or k largest) elements in order. The other elements (above the k smallest ones) may also be sorted, as in an in-place partial sort, or may be discarded, which is common in streaming partial sorts. A common practical example of partial sorting is computing the "Top 100" of some list.

In terms of indices, in a partially sorted list, for every index i from 1 to k, the i-th element is in the same place as it would be in the fully sorted list: element i of the partially sorted list contains order statistic i of the input list.

Heap-based solution
Heaps admit a simple single-pass partial sort when $k$ is fixed: insert the first $k$ elements of the input into a max-heap. Then make one pass over the remaining elements, add each to the heap in turn, and remove the largest element. Each insertion operation takes $O(log k)$ time, resulting in $O(n log k)$ time overall; this "partial heapsort" algorithm is practical for small values of $k$ and in online settings. An "online heapselect" algorithm described below, based on a min-heap, takes $O(n + k log n)$.

Solution by partitioning selection
A further relaxation requiring only a list of the $k$ smallest elements, but without requiring that these be ordered, makes the problem equivalent to partition-based selection; the original partial sorting problem can be solved by such a selection algorithm to obtain an array where the first $k$ elements are the $k$ smallest, and sorting these, at a total cost of $O(n + k log k)$ operations. A popular choice to implement this algorithm scheme is to combine quickselect and quicksort; the result is sometimes called "quickselsort".

Common in current (as of 2022) C++ STL implementations is a pass of heapselect for a list of k elements, followed by a heapsort for the final result.

Specialised sorting algorithms
More efficient than the aforementioned are specialized partial sorting algorithms based on mergesort and quicksort. In the quicksort variant, there is no need to recursively sort partitions which only contain elements that would fall after the $k$'th place in the final sorted array (starting from the "left" boundary). Thus, if the pivot falls in position $k$ or later, we recurse only on the left partition:

function partial_quicksort(A, i, j, k) is if i < j then p ← pivot(A, i, j)        p ← partition(A, i, j, p)         partial_quicksort(A, i, p-1, k)         if p < k-1 then partial_quicksort(A, p+1, j, k)

The resulting algorithm is called partial quicksort and requires an expected time of only $O(n + k log k)$, and is quite efficient in practice, especially if a selection sort is used as a base case when $k$ becomes small relative to $n$. However, the worst-case time complexity is still very bad, in the case of a bad pivot selection. Pivot selection along the lines of the worst-case linear time selection algorithm (see ) could be used to get better worst-case performance. Partial quicksort, quickselect (including the multiple variant), and quicksort can all be generalized into what is known as a chunksort.

Incremental sorting
Incremental sorting is a version of the partial sorting problem where the input is given up front but $k$ is unknown: given a $k$-sorted array, it should be possible to extend the partially sorted part so that the array becomes $(k+1)$-sorted.

Heaps lead to an $O(n + k log n)$ "online heapselect" solution to incremental partial sorting: first "heapify", in linear time, the complete input array to produce a min-heap. Then extract the minimum of the heap $k$ times.

A different incremental sort can be obtained by modifying quickselect. The version due to Paredes and Navarro maintains a stack of pivots across calls, so that incremental sorting can be accomplished by repeatedly requesting the smallest item of an array $A$ from the following algorithm:

Algorithm $IQS(A : array, i : integer, S : stack)$ returns the $i$'th smallest element in $A$
 * If $i = top(S)$:
 * Pop $S$
 * Return $A[i]$
 * Let $pivot ← random [i, top(S))$
 * Update $pivot ← partition(A[i : top(S)), A[pivot])$
 * Push $pivot$ onto $S$
 * Return $IQS(A, i, S)$

The stack $S$ is initialized to contain only the length $n$ of $A$. $k$-sorting the array is done by calling $IQS(A, i, S)$ for $i = 0, 1, 2, ...$; this sequence of calls has average-case complexity $O(n + k log k)$, which is asymptotically equivalent to $O(n + k log n)$. The worst-case time is quadratic, but this can be fixed by replacing the random pivot selection by the median of medians algorithm.

Language/library support

 * The C++ standard specifies a library function called.
 * The Python standard library includes functions  and   in its   module.
 * The Julia standard library includes a  algorithm used in   and variants.

Portal:Bible/Featured biography and Portal:Bible/Featured biography/March, 2006
Inherently biased - it assumes historicity, which is something that groups often dispute. The March 2006 example is particularly biased. Clinkophonist 17:46, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete the March bio page, Rename the parent page per Kusma The March biography shows how atrocious this idea is. Inherently biased, indeed. "God (born: infinity ago)..."  This actually trivializes the Divinity; terribly inappropriate for any encyclopedia. Xoloz 21:00, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Rename to Portal:Bible/Selected person or something similar to remove the POV inherent in the bad title "biography". The trivialization of God is a content issue that does not require giving up the reasonable idea of focussing on a specific person every month. Kusma (討論) 19:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You are correct that the problem with the March entry is peculiar to it; however, my comment was intended to suggest that any "selected person" choice on a biblical topic is likely to be controversial. God is an especially bad case, but I cannot think of a good, non-controversial case. Xoloz 21:12, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that David, Paul of Tarsus, and Joseph (Hebrew Bible) could be decent and not too controversial possible choices, if a Selected person is to be included on the Bible portal. However, this is a matter that should really be discussed at Portal talk:Bible. Kusma (討論) 21:53, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Digoxigenin

Digoxigenin (DIG) is a steroid found exclusively in the flowers and leaves of the plants Digitalis purpurea, Digitalis orientalis and Digitalis lanata (foxgloves), where it is attached to sugars, to form the  glycosides (e.g. digoxin, lanatoside C).

Uses in biotechnology
Digoxigenin is a hapten, a small molecule with high antigenicity, that is used in many molecular biology applications similarly to other popular haptens such as 2,4-Dinitrophenol, biotin, and fluorescein. Typically, digoxigenin is introduced chemically (conjugation) into biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids) to be detected in further assays. Kd of the digoxigenin-antibody interaction has been estimated at ~12 nM (compare to Kd~0.1pM for the biotin-streptavidin interaction ).

Tinberg et al. designed artificial proteins that bind DIG. Their best binder, DIG10.3, was a 141 amino acid protein that bound DIG with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 541 (+/- 193) pM.
 * DIG-binding proteins

Anti-digoxigenin antibodies with high affinities and specificity are used in a variety of biological immuno-assays (e.g. ELISA). The antibodies are labeled with dyes, enzymes or fluorescence, directly or secondarily, for visualization and detection.

Digoxigenin is thus an all-purpose immuno-tag, and in particular a standard immunohistochemical marker for in situ hybridization. In this case it is conjugated to a single species of RNA nucleoside triphosphate (typically uridine), which is then incorporated into RNA (a "riboprobe") as it is synthesized by the cellular machinery.

It allows to make :
 * sensitive non-radioactive in situ hybridization probes to detect nucleic acids in plants, able to detect 1 μg of plasmid DNA.
 * peptide-DIG conjugates, i.e. bradykinin assay by very sensitive chemiluminescence immunoassays.
 * fluorescent and DIG-labeled tracers for competitive immunoassays, i.e. to limit detect digoxin, a drug used to cure cardiac arrhythmia, down to 0.2 ng mL−1.
 * Digoxigenin may be conjugated to sugars to study glycosylation events, even in biological systems.

Luis Contreras (jockey)

Luis Contreras (born March 14, 1986) is a Mexican jockey since 2006. After starting his career in Mexico, Contreras started competing in the United States and Canada during the late 2000s. For his graded stakes race career, Contreras has won thirty six Grade III races, twenty two Grade II races and four Grade I races. At the 2011 Canadian Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, Contreras won the Queen's Plate, Prince of Wales Stakes, and Breeders' Stakes. He became the first jockey to use two horses to win the Canadian Triple Crown. In 2014, Contreras came short of another Canadian Triple Crown after finishing tenth at the Breeders' Stakes following wins at the Queen's Plate and Prince of Wales.

As part of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, Contreras's best results were third at the 2014 Preakness Stakes and sixth at the 2018 Kentucky Derby. At the Canadian Triple Tiara of Thoroughbred Racing, Contreras won the Woodbine Oaks and Bison City Stakes in 2011 and was fourth at the Wonder Where Stakes that year. After winning the Woodbine Oaks and Wonder Where Stakes in 2017, he was fifth that year at the Bison City Stakes. For the American Triple Tiara of Thoroughbred Racing, Contreras placed sixth at the 2011 Alabama Stakes. With his Breeders' Cup races between 2011 and 2018, his highest finish was runner-up at the Filly and Mare Sprint event at the 2017 Breeders' Cup. While winning over 2,400 races in his career, Contreras received the Sovereign Award for Outstanding Jockey in 2011 and 2012.

Early life
On March 14, 1986, Contreras was born in Mexico City, Mexico. Growing up, Contreras had hundreds of wins in Mexico after he started his jockey career as a teenager. While racing in Mexico, Contreras had two runner-ups and one top five finish in 2006.

Racing career
Contreras began competing in the United States in 2007 at races held in California and New Mexico. That year, his victories at Golden Gate Fields in 2007 gave Contreras his first American race win and first stakes race win. In 2008, Contreras had his first ever graded stakes race win at the 2008 El Camino Real Derby as a Grade III race.

From 2009 to 2010, Contreras was a jockey for Steve Asmussen in Toronto while on a work permit before he was fired by Asmussen. In 2010, Contreras could work solely for non-Canadian trainers due to his permit. That year, Contreras thought about leaving Canada before he received an open work permit. Throughout his career, Contreras won at least one Grade III race consecutively between 2011 and 2022. Of his thirty six Grade III wins, Contreras had seven of them in 2013 ranging from the Grey Stakes to the Highlander Stakes.

Contreras won his first of twenty two Grade II events at the 2009 Dance Smartly Stakes. From 2011 to 2022, Contreras won at least one Grade II race except for 2020. During this time period, Contreras won the Canadian Stakes four times with his victories in 2013, 2015, 2018 and 2019. As a Grade I racer, Contreras's first win was at the 2014 Carter Handicap. Contreras additionally won the Northern Dancer Turf Stakes consecutively from 2017 to 2018 and the 2019 E. P. Taylor Stakes.

Triple Crowns
At the Canadian Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, Contreras was the 2011 Canadian Triple Crown winner with his wins at the Queen's Plate, Prince of Wales Stakes and Breeders' Stakes. With Inglorious and Pender Harbour, Contreras was the first jockey to use two horses to win the Canadian Triple Crown. In 2014, Contreras re-won the Breeders' Stakes after having top three finishes at the Queen's Plate and Prince of Wales. During the 2016 Triple Crown, Contreras was the winner at the Prince of Wales and the runner-up at the Queen's Plate.

In 2017, Contreras missed his second Triple Crown after he was tenth at the Breeders' Stakes following his wins at the Queen's Plate and Prince of Wales. In 2018, Contreras was runner-up at the Queen's Plate and Prince of Wales. The following year, Contreras was second at the Breeders' Stakes and third at the Queen's Plate. Additional top three finishes by Contreras were first place at the 2020 Breeders' Stakes and third place at the 2021 Queen's Plate. In the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, Contreras was eighteenth at the 2012 Kentucky Derby and sixth at the 2018 Kentucky Derby. At the Preakness Stakes, Contreras had a third-place finish at the 2014 Preakness Stakes and was sixth during the 2018 Preakness Stakes.

Triple Tiaras
For the Canadian Triple Tiara of Thoroughbred Racing, Contreras won both the Woodbine Oaks and the Bison City Stakes in 2011. Contreras did not win the 2011 Triple Tiara after he finished fourth at the Wonder Where Stakes. Contreras was the runner-up at Woodbine Oaks in 2012 and 2016. He also finished second at Bison City in 2014. In 2017, Contreras won the Woodbine Oaks and Wonder Where Stakes while coming in fifth at Bison City. At the American Triple Tiara of Thoroughbred Racing, Contreras was sixth at the 2011 Alabama Stakes.

Breeders' Cup
Competing in the Breeders' Cup Challenge, Contreras qualified for the Juvenile Fillies Turf event at the 2011 Breeders' Cup with his win at the Natalma Stakes. After he did not appear at the Juvenile Fillies Turf event, Contreras was seventh in the Juvenile Fillies race and thirteenth at the Juvenile event. In other Breeders' Cup editions, Contreras was sixth in the Juvenile event at the 2012 Breeders' Cup. In the Turf Sprint, Contreras had a fourth-place finish at the 2016 Breeders' Cup.

The following year, Contreras was runner-up at the Filly and Mare Sprint event during the 2017 Breeders' Cup. While at the 2018 Breeders' Cup, Contreras raced at the Juvenile, Sprint and Dirt Mile. During these events, Contreras was third in the dirt mile, eighth in the sprint and eleventh in the juvenile.

Overall performance
In December 2018, Contreras won his 2,000th North American race while competing at Woodbine Racetrack. During his career, Contreras has won more than 2,400 races and accumulated over $104 million in prize winnings. In Equibase rankings for North American jockeys, his best performances were a seventh place earnings rank in 2011 and a thirteenth place wins rank in 2017. Contreras also received the Sovereign Award for Outstanding Jockey in 2011 and 2012.

Some of the discussion from en:Talk:Christmas pudding

What is crystallized peel? Orange I presume. Rmhermen 17:27, Dec 18, 2003 (UTC)

mixed citrus, I think, but I'm not sure enough to do an article on it, which is certainly needed. It comes cut into cubes about .5cm. Standard item on the UK cook's shelf but I've never seen it anywhere else (not that I've looked very hard, it's not my personal favourite). seglea 17:39, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC). Also called "candied peel". seglea

 * That's right. Usual recipies have a mixture of Orange, Lemon and Lime peel. Candying it requires the use of boiling sugar syrup and is not very hard. In my experience (and following my usual cooking philosophy) I have found that fresh peel is actually a little bit nicer in a Christmas Pudding, but I suspect not everyone would agree. Obviously the candied peel is sweeter. Francis Davey 16:21, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Restoring "the dessert" in the opening sentence. Of course it is not the only dessert ever served on Christmas day, but it is the only one that is traditionally served (which is what the article says), in the sense that anyone in England (I'm never sure about the Scots) would recognise it as the traditional thing to have, even if they hated the stuff and would never serve it themselves.

This recipe (less the "Easy White Sauce") has been in the Matfield Green Kansas USA branch of the Mercer family for at least four generations. Because the family has largely been "teetotalers" since coming to Kansas, brandy was omitted from the recipe several generations ago. That is about to change. In 2006 the pudding will be served at our traditional family Christmas gathering in Wichita flaming, as in Dickens's "A Christmas Carol". +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ GROUND BEEF SUET	1 POUND RAISINS			1 BOX CURRENTS			1 BOX BUTTERMILK		1 QT BAKING SODA		1 TEA SPOON SALT				1/2 TEA SPOON SUGAR 			1/2 CUP ENGLISH WALNUTS	1 CUP FLOUR			AS NEEDED (3 to 4 cups)

Put raisins, currents, walnuts and suit in mixing bowl. Coat ingredients with flour. Pour sugar on top of mixture and set aside.

Drink about 1/2 cup of the buttermilk and then add baking soda and salt to remainder of carton and mix.

Pour the buttermilk mixture over suit mixture in mixing bowl. Add flour about 1/2 cup at a time as you mix. Mixture is correct when it is moist but not sticky.

Tie up in cloth (with a little room for expansion) and steam for about six hours. Pudding is done when a tooth pick inserted into it comes out clean. Serve hot with sweetened white sauce.

Origin
The Albani family originated in Albania by two brothers, George and Fillip. After serving in the Albanian-Venetian War in the 15th century, they sought refuge in Italy, where they settled in Urbino and adapted the new surname "Albani". After a short while, they rose to high status and were trusted in many inner circles within the church and the government. One of the first and most prominent members of the family, Gian Girolamo Albani, started the family on the path to government affiliation. Many members of the family took after him and pursued government and church leadership.

Influence
Back in 16th century Italy, the Albani Family were very influential, and in some ways, they still are. Many of the male family members reached out for positions in government and the church. With allegiance to their God and their country being so important to everyone in that era, the Albani family name gained a lot of respect and influence over the course of the years in many different fields.

Religious
Back in the Age of the Enlightment in Italy, religion was everything. Every one followed the church and looked to the leaders of the church for guidance. The church held a lot of power back then, and there were many members of the family who held high positions in the Catholic Church.

Political
Though many of the family members held positions with the church, their were also a few that held government jobs. Many of them were cardinals or diplomats in there time, whilst some others dealt in the armed forces. One of the more prominent members of the family, Giovanni Girolamo Albani, was a cardinal and a vice commander of armed forces in the Serenissima Republic. Others dealt with foreign affairs such as Gian Francesco Albani.

Artistic
Though none of the family members were known artists, the family had a lot of pull in the artistic world. Much of the knowledge we have about the Albani' in the art world consists of purchased collections and controversy surrounding them. One of the major pieces they were associated with was a portrait of some of the major members of the family called "Sette Ritratti Albani". It's known as "one of the most compelling group portraits in Italy". An example of the controversy surrounding the family within the world of the fine arts is that one of the paintings the Albani owned, a portrait of one of its most prominent members, Gian Girolamo Albani. It caused conflict because in the beginning, no one recognized the subject of the painting, and questioned why he was wearing symbols of high ranking. He wore a lynx coat and a gold cross, symbolizing high status and rank, but no one knew who he was, or if he deserved to be dressed in such a fashion.

Library
The Albani Family library, also known as the Clementine Library, was made and named for one of the most prominent members of the family, Giovanni Francesco Albani. The library contains over 10,000 printed books and pamphlets, which date from 1473 to the early nineteenth century, though the majority were printed in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries Over, 1,000 volumes in the collection relate to the history of Canon, Roman and Feudal Law. Many of these works are completely unique and exist no where else. Though the library originally existed in the house of Albani Family in Urbino, Italy, the Catholic University of America acquired the collection in 1928 and has worked to preserve its knowledge ever since.

 * Alessandro Albani (1692–1779), Italian aristocrat and cardinal

Talk:Scouts

The definitions before reformulation on May 23rd, 2008 (for archive):

Hekaheka 15:26, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) A worldwide youth movement founded in 1907 by  with the stated aim of supporting young people in their physical, mental and spiritual development, so that they may play a constructive role in the society.
 * 2) The members of that movement collectively.
 * 3)  The Boy Scouts of America.
 * 4)  The Scouts Association of Australia.
 * 5) The Selous Scouts, a special forces regiment of the former Rhodesian Army.

Scouts
[2nd definition]

Redundant sense, ''2. The Boy Scouts of America, a youth organization founded in 1910.'' Surely this is the same as ''1. Any of several worldwide youth movements based on the one begun in 1907 by Baden-Powell in England''--Dmol 16:15, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * That sense is not redundant; it's specific. The vague first definition was added afterwards. --EncycloPetey 16:21, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Consider that Chinese could refer to "any of several languages spoken in China",or could refer to "Mandarin". Some words have both a general and a specific meaning.  We should not avoid the specific meanings simply becasue there is a general one. --EncycloPetey 16:28, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * We don't? (In this case, the "general" meaning is so rare, as to be obscure.  But in general, such senses are combined, aren't they?)  --Connel MacKenzie 18:10, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Not for a Proper Noun! Would you want the definition of Macedonia to say: "Any one of various regions or nations north of the Greek Peninsula", or would you rather it list the specific senses?  Proper nouns are specific things, and cannot be expected to follow the same rules for definitions that common nouns do. --EncycloPetey 18:43, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

But the point I was making is that if we have the American Scouts, wouldn't we also need the Scout of Canada/India/Ireland/Fiji/Outer Mongolia, all of which would also be covered by the first definition. I don't think that the Macedonian example is valid, as these were different meanings at different times. New Guinea is another example.--Dmol 19:22, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * No, some of these are meanings at the same time. The modern Greek province Macedonia and the Slavic nation of Macedonia are a source of strife in the region for having the same name at the same time.  Time has nothing to do with that. My point is that in English, the word Scouts may be used to refer specifically to the Boy Scouts of America.  I would be very surprised if any English citations could be found that referred to a Mongolian youth organization.  That remionds me though; we should add an entry for BSA and like it from Scouts def. 2 as a synonym. --EncycloPetey 19:35, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

OK, I was joking about Mongolia, but it would not be hard to find a few dozen other English language countries where the word Scouts means youth movements based on the one begun in 1907 by Baden-Powell in England. And America is included in this list. So we either need to dump the extra definition, or add dozens of others.--Dmol 19:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

 * This is trite. Does anyone here doubt that it actually means what's claimed? What's the difference between "1. Abc (or) 2. Xyz" and "1. Abc, especially Xyz"?DAVilla 20:07, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree this is trite. The "Baden-Powell" definition line is news to me, but I've never been actively involved in Boy Scouts.  The reference pages from the Wikipedia page, such as http://www.scout.org/en/about_scouting/facts_figures/history/milestones_of_world_scouting verify that at some point in history, it was British.  But the Wikipedia page also has a section on "Membership" which implies there is about a 5-times higher per-capita membership in the US, than in the UK (and also implies insignificant membership rates for other countries.)  It is therefore about ten times more likely (at least) that any mention of "Scouts" or "Scouting" actually refers directy to the "Boy Scouts of America."  I think that the "Baden-Powell" information belongs only in the etymology section (if mentioned at all.)  --Connel MacKenzie 20:55, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Of course sense 2 is redundant. Whether you mention Baden-Powell or not, Scouts refers to a movement which can and does exist in a number of countries. Mentioning America or anywhere else is unnecessary and just invites a further 20 definitions to cover other nationalities. Widsith 21:27, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Except for the fact that not mentioning America would not convey what the word actually means. The subsequent 216 definitions could be listed as a single definition, if any of them have literary citations that actually say "Scouts" to mean "Boy Scouts of Japan" or similar.  Note this isn't some American-centric xenophobic statement for the sake of patriotism.  (I'm very cautious not to make American-centric statements, as Americans are badly outnumbered by British, here.)  I had no idea Scouting is so rare in the rest of the world, before looking at those numbers.  But, numerical analysis aside, I'm talking about how the word "Scouts" is used.  Using the word "Scouts" to refer to the "Boy Scouts of Australia" is very likely to be misunderstood, right?  If you were in Indonesia, you simply couldn't say "Scouts" and hope someone to understand that you meant the "Boy Scouts of Sweden."  If, in Indonesia, you say "Scouts" you'd either be making a comparison to BSA or (and this is what I suggest needs citations:) your local chapter of Boy Scouts.  --Connel MacKenzie 01:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I disagree. When people talk about Scouts, wherever they are, they are referring to members of what is to all intents and purposes the same well-known organisation.  Of course unless they specify otherwise one assumes they mean their own national variety.  So what?  If you say policeman in Indonesia (to borrow your example) you wouldn't of course expect someone to understand that you meant a member of the Australian police force.  Most references to policeman probably refer to policemen in the States but it does not follow that policeman means a member of a State Police Department.  Widsith 16:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

 * That's what I would have thought, too. But checking Wikipedia (and its references) leave me at the conclusion that worldwide, it is regarded as a distinctly American entity (despite the etymological origin from the UK.)  --Connel MacKenzie 17:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Not so in my experience of the words' use in the UK. To me, unless the context has already been established otherwise (e.g. if I am reading a story set in the USA), "Scouts"/"scouting" refer to the British version. Thryduulf 01:57, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

 * That's why I suggested above, that the Baden-Powell information be moved to the etymology section, and a general definition referring to the other 216 organazations be given as a second definition line. (I guess I said that unclearly?)  --Connel MacKenzie 19:20, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Erm, what? List the American definition and then conflate the rest into one definition line? Why list the American one separately, if each country's literature uses the term to refer to the country's own scouts? — Beobach972 23:50, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

 * For reference, here are a few instances of the phrase ‘the Scouts’, and the organisations to which that phrase refers:

 * (the Pawnee Scouts, a U. S. Army formation)
 * 1973: George Bird Grinnell, Two Great Scouts and Their Pawnee Battalion: The Experiences of Frank J. North and Luther H. North
 * He was not pleased to find that two companies of the Scouts had been assigned to him to bolster up the eight undermanned companies of his Fifth United States Cavalry.
 * (the U. S. Boy Scouts)
 * 1996: Steve Weinberg, The Reporter's Handbook: An Investigator's Guide to Documents and Techniques
 * In 88 percent of the cases, the abusers’ names had been blacked out by the Scouts. More than 99 percent of the Scouts’ names were missing as well.
 * (the U. S. Girl Scouts - not an independent source)
 * 1920: Scouting for Girls: Official Handbook of the Girl Scouts, published by the Girl Scouts of the United States of America
 * It was contributed by private people, but the Scouts had lots of work to distribute it.
 * — Beobach972 22:23, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm resolving this by placing an RFV-sense on the first definition. DAVilla 19:03, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Requests for deletion - kept
Kept. See archived discussion of May 2008. 06:00, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Scouts
Rfd-sense: The Rhodesian Army unit. Seems oddly specific; I can say with reasonable confidence that there are numerous army units named "SOMETHING Scouts" whose title is corrupted to just "Scouts" for convenience Purplebackpack89  (Notes Taken) (Locker) 13:40, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's specific for that very reason - it refers to a specific historical group, and is well cited as such. The fact that there may potentially be other groups is not a reason to delete, it is a reason to include others if they are listed. If, (and I think it's unlikely), there are several different groups, we can then combine the defs in to one.  But for now, it's a well cited entry which means exactly what it says.Compare Guards, Marines, Tans.--Dmol (talk) 07:21, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep but expand. When I hear Scouts in any context other than BSA, I associate it with military units that scout ahead of the main body of troops in order to provide better tactical information to battlefield commanders.; however, when used in such a context it is usually not capitalized. It is capitalized when referring to the same unit in an official sense.  As for limiting it to the Rhodesian Army, I would find that more applicable to a 'Pedia article. --Jacecar (talk) 08:45, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Create general sense, delete overly-specific one. (Per Jacecar.) —Ruakh TALK 03:53, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete/expand, per Jacecar and Ruakh. - -sche (discuss) 23:39, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Jon.

Finale NotePad is an excellent product. The license key costs $10, and you can't beat that.

I only needed a fairly simple means to take some rather sloppy handwritten sheet music and transcribe it into printed sheet music. NotePad did just that.

NotePad was very intuitive and easy to use. I did not need an expensive program interfaced with MIDI, lots of bells and whistles, etc., just a basic graphics program that would allow me to manually compose sheet music like a word processor, using mostly just my computer mouse.

Before I found NotePad, I was trying to make sheet music with Photoshop, which as you can imagine, was extremely tedious in trying to paste each note as a layered graphic on a blank sheet music graphic.

For $10, this program is an incredible value!

The Folks at Finale saved me days of hard work in Photoshop, and it only took me a couple of hours to produce two pages of sheet music after opening up and playing with NotePad. Now that I am familiar with NotePad, it will go even quicker next time.

I hope this helps any buying decision you make.

Regards,

Jon

IPod Touch (1st generation)

The first-generation iPod Touch, (colloquially known as the iPod Touch 1G, iPod Touch 1, or original iPod Touch) is a multi-touch mobile device designed and marketed by Apple Inc. with a touchscreen-based user interface. The first device of the iPod Touch series, it was unveiled and released at Apple's media event on September 5, 2007. It is compatible with up to iPhone OS 3.1.3 which was released on February 2, 2010.

Unlike the iPhone, the iPod Touch does not have a speaker or a camera. A speaker was added in the second generation, while a camera was added in the fourth generation.

History
The first-generation iPod touch was released after the first-generation iPhone as a companion device. It had similar features, but a thinner design with an all-metal back except for a small corner cut out for WiFi 802.11 b/g, allowing it to use Safari to browse websites. It used the same 30-pin connector as the first-generation iPhone and previous iPods, allowing most iPod accessories to work with the iPod touch.

Software
It fully supports iPhone OS 1 to iPhone OS 3, though it received different features at different times from the first-generation iPhone. It also did not have the iPod app as it was an iPod, and instead had the Music app for playing music and podcasts, with a separate Videos app to watch videos. It also received the iTunes Store app before the iPhone did - the first-generation iPod touch received the iTunes Store app on launch with iPhone OS 1.1 on September 14, 2007, while the first-generation iPhone received the iTunes Store app on September 27, 2007, with the release of iPhone OS 1.1.1. It also had Calendar, Clock, Calculator, and Photos apps preinstalled.

The iPhone OS 2.0 update introduced the App Store, but unlike the iPhone, it was not available for free. Free iOS updates were not available on the iPod touch until iOS 4, which is not supported on this model.

An unofficial port of Android 2.3 Gingerbread called iDroid supports the first-generation iPod touch.

Emulation
In December 2022, Internet user Martijn de Vos, also known as devos50 has reverse engineered this device to successfully create a QEMU emulation of this device, running iPhone OS 1.0.

Vocabulary Project
I have written a program for learning vocabulary. It is based on the belief that it is best to learn foreign words by learning typical sentences. The program can also be used for learning other stuff that works with the question/answer scheme, e.g. the theory for the driving licence or anatomy. Unfortunately I wrote it in qbasic, which can be downloaded here. It also uses images and sound files for alternation and in order to work on the pronunciation. If you are interested let me know. I currently have files in English, French (with sound), Spanish, Portuguese, and Catalan. Corrections or additions are very welcome. The easiest thing to start with for improvements would be adding new vocabulary, sound files or images. A guide to the program will follow soon, although I think it is rather self-explanatory. In the long run the program should be rewritten in a better language. Afterwards it should be possible to switch languages within the program. Up to now there is a different version of the program for each language.

Non-Programmer's Tutorial for Python 2.6/Hello, World

What you should know
You should know how to edit programs in a text editor or IDLE, save the file and run the file once the files have been saved to your disk.

Printing
Programming tutorials since the beginning of time have started with a little program called "Hello, World!" The syntax changed in Python 3.0. If you are using Python 3.0, you should be reading Non-Programmer's Tutorial for Python 3 instead. So here is the Python 2.6 example:

If you are using the command line to run programs then type it in with a text editor, save it as  and run it with

Otherwise go into IDLE, create a new window, and create the program as in section Creating and Running Programs.

When this program is run here's what it prints:

Hello, World!

Now I'm not going to tell you this every time, but when I show you a program I recommend that you type it in and run it. I learn better when I type it in and you probably do too.

Now here is a more complicated program:

When you run this program it prints out:

Jack and Jill went up a hill to fetch a pail of water; Jack fell down, and broke his crown, and Jill came tumbling after.

When the computer runs this program it first sees the line:

so the computer prints:

Jack and Jill went up a hill

Then the computer goes down to the next line and sees:

So the computer prints to the screen:

to fetch a pail of water;

The computer keeps looking at each line, follows the command and then goes on to the next line. The computer keeps running commands until it reaches the end of the program.

Terminology
Now is probably a good time to give you a bit of an explanation of what is happening - and a little bit of programming terminology.

What we were doing above was using a command called. The  command is followed by one or more arguments. So in this example

there is one argument, which is. Note that this argument is a group of characters enclosed in double quotes ("). This is commonly referred to as a string of characters, or string, for short.  Another example of a string is.

A command and its arguments are collectively referred to as a statement, so

is an example of a statement.

That's probably more than enough terminology for now.

Expressions
Here is another program:

And here is the output when the program is run:

2 + 2 is 4 3 * 4 is 12 100 - 1 is 99 (33 + 2) / 5 + 11.5 is 18.5

As you can see, Python can turn your six hundred dollar computer into a 2 dollar calculator.

In this example, the print command is followed by two arguments, with each of the arguments separated by a comma. So with the first line of the program

The first argument is the string  and the second argument is the mathematical expression , which is commonly referred to as an expression.

What is important to note is that a string is printed as is (the string is what is within the double quotes but doesn't include the double quotes themselves. So the string is printed without the enclosing double quotes.) But an expression is evaluated, (in other words, converted) to its actual value.

Python has six basic operations for numbers:

Notice that division follows the rule, if there are no decimals to start with, there will be no decimals to end with. The following program shows this:

With the output:

14 / 3 = 4 14 % 3 = 2 14.0 / 3.0 = 4.66666666667 14.0 % 3.0 = 2.0 14.0 / 3 = 4.66666666667 14.0 % 3 = 2.0 14 / 3.0 = 4.66666666667 14 % 3.0 = 2.0

Notice how Python gives different answers for some problems depending on whether or not decimal values are used.

The order of operations is the same as in math: So use parentheses to structure your formulas when needed.
 * parentheses
 * exponents
 * multiplication, division  , and remainder
 * addition  and subtraction

Talking to humans (and other intelligent beings)
Often in programming you are doing something complicated and may not in the future remember what you did. When this happens, the program should probably be commented. A comment is a note to you and other programmers explaining what is happening. For example:

Which outputs

3.14285714286

Notice that the comment starts with a hash:. Comments are used to communicate with others who read the program and your future self to make clear what is complicated.

Note that any text can follow a comment, and that when the program is run, the text after the  through to the end of that line is ignored. The  does not have to be at the beginning of a new line:

Examples
Each chapter (eventually) will contain examples of the programming features introduced in the chapter. You should at least look over them and see if you understand them. If you don't, you may want to type them in and see what happens. Mess around with them, change them and see what happens.

Denmark.py

Output:

Something's rotten in the state of Denmark. -- Shakespeare

School.py

Output:

First Grade 1 + 1 = 2 2 + 4 = 6 5 - 2 = 3 Third Grade 243 - 23 = 220 12 * 4 = 48 12 / 3 = 4 13 / 3 = 4 R 1 Junior High 123.56 - 62.12 = 61.44 (4 + 3) * 2 = 14 4 + 3 * 2 = 10 3 ** 2 = 9

Exercises

 * 1) Write a program that prints your full name and your birthday as separate strings.
 * 2) Write a program that shows the use of all 6 math functions.

Vikings' River Splash

Vikings' River Splash was a ride at Legoland Windsor. It opened in 2007, later than expected because of construction delays. The ride was a river rapids ride which is a common attraction in many theme parks. The ride was in the "Land of the Vikings" area of the park. On Tuesday 29 August 2023, Legoland Windsor announced the ride will close permanently on Monday 25 September 2023.

The ride featured Lego models, water sprays and cannons along its course. The ride time was about three minutes and was one of the most popular rides in the park when its closure was announced.

Talk:Piano Concerto (Clara Schumann)

Clara Wieck's piano concerto
If you have a source for 1833, please add it. The one in the article says 1834, and for 8 1/2 months of that year, she was 14. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:00, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

It seems to be in the Reich book, - which page(s), please? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:07, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

 * I saw your date 1934, a typo, and changed it to what I thought you meant, 1834, until I looked in Nancy Reich's catalog which had 1833. Both editions of her book 1985 & 2001 (the second also being in Grove) have that year as being when she BEGAN the concerto (finishing it in 1835, why a 2-year delay I don't know). I don't have the bio section of Reich's book, just the catalog, so I don't know what she says about the concerto (nor what pages it's on), but I can infer some things.

 * The article you quote doesn't say 1834, it just says she was 14. It also says Robert completed his orchestration in Feb. 1834. I don't know how long it took him, maybe since January? Clara must have begun it any time between Sep. 1833 and Jan. 1834. Somehow I doubt she would have written that whole first movement in less than a month, and have Robert orchestrate it during that month as well, so I think we can safely say she didn't BEGIN writing it in January 1834. That makes the beginning date 1833. Also, she was in the habit of giving compositions to her husband as birthday and Christmas presents, so I think it's likely she finished the movement by Christmas 1833.
 * Chuckstreet (talk) 17:15, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

 * - I found more definite dates. She began composing it at age 13! in Jan. 1833 and finished the single movt (which later became the finale) in Nov. 1833. She performed it several times in 1834, while working on the new first movt, completed in June 1834. The slow 2nd movt wasn't finished until early 1835. Anyway, I made extensive revisions of the article; I hope that's okay. Just in time for the DYK.
 * By the way, the statement in the DYK blurb is not correct. Clara completed her own orchestration of the single movement. Robert just made some revisions (in Feb. 1834). And it was also Clara who orchestrated the full 3 movement version, without Robert's help, including completely redoing Robert's earlier revisions of the Konzertsatz! (her full orchestration was completed 1 Sep. 1835). Turns out she had more experience with writing for orchestra, as she had already written a fully-scored Overture and a Scherzo. Robert's only experience was an early aborted Symphony from 1831 and 5 failed attempts at piano concertos between 1827 and 1839 (before his completed A minor). Chuckstreet (talk) 04:34, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the research! The wording was cautious enough to not be wrong, - he helped, doesn't say she rejected that help ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:29, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Giovanni Randaccio

Giovanni Randaccio (Turin, 1 July 1884 – San Giovanni al Timavo, 28 May 1917) was an Italian soldier.

Life
Giovanni Randaccio was born in Turin in 1884 to a father of Sardinian origins and a mother from Vercelli. He began his military career in the infantry as a second lieutenant. He was promoted first to lieutenant, and then, on the outbreak of the First World War, captain. On 24 December 1914 he became a freemason joining the Vomere lodge in Naples.

Randaccio's war record was outstanding. He consistently displayed great courage and boldness, and was awarded many honours. He earned his first Silver Medal of Military Valor during the assault on Monte Sei Busi on 1 June 1915; and his second silver medal after the attack on the heights of (it) Polazzo on 21 October 1915. Seriously wounded, he was exempted from further service but insisted on returning to the front. In October 1916 he earned his third silver medal and a promotion to the rank of major at the taking of Veliki Kribach. Wounded once more, he again returned to the front.

Randaccio was placed in command of the 2nd battalion of the 77th Regiment of Infantry. Here he met Gabriele D'Annunzio, then working as liaison officer between the 45th Division and the 7th Infantry Division Lupi di Toscana, of which the regiment was a part. Both Randaccio and D’Annunzio, whom he commanded, took part in the Eighth and Ninth Battle of the Isonzo. A deep friendship and mutual admiration grew up between the two men.

Death

On 27 May 1917, during the Tenth Battle of the Isonzo, Major Randaccio launched his battalion in a perilous assault on Quota 28 (‘hill 28’, on the Bratina promontory), on the other side of the Timavo river. Having taken the hill with heavy losses, Randaccio himself fell under a burst of enemy machine gun fire. He was taken to the "Scuola Popolare" in Monfalcone which was serving as a field hospital, but died soon afterwards. He was originally buried in Monfalcone on 30 May but his body was then transferred to Aquileia cathedral where a grand funeral was held for him.

There is a lack of certainty about the precise date of his death. The memorial erected on the site of the field hospital records the date of his death as 27 May. However, according to the official account of the military headquarters, the action that resulted in his death began during the night of 28 May and hill 28 was taken on the morning of the following day. Furthermore, the official citation for the award of the Gold Medal of Military Valour also refers to his death as being on 28 May. D'Annunzio himself repeatedly reported the date of Randaccio's death as the 28th, including in his diary.

Disputed accounts
What became the official account of the circumstances of Randaccio's death was set out in the oration made by D'Annunzio at Randaccio's funeral, which the Duke of Aosta had printed and distributed to the soldiers of the Third Army in the interests of their 'moral preparation' as combattants. In this account, the Italians had tried for two days to force a crossing of the Timavo river, without success, before receiving orders to suspend operations. D'Annunzio then himself proposed an audacious assault on the enemy lines with the objective of moving along the coast to Duino. The intention was to raise the Italian flag from the top of the Duino castle, from where it would be visible in Trieste 21 kilometers away. This was to be a propaganda victory rather than the securing of an important military objective.

To achieve this, the Italian troops needed to cross the mouth of the Timavo river on temporary catwalks made from 40 cm-wide boards, fixed to empty oil drums, and then take the Austrian batteries on the Bratina promontory. This assault began on 27 May. Despite terrible losses under enemy fire, the Italians succeeded in taking hill 28. However the Austrians brought up reinforcements and retook it, cutting off many Italian troops as they did so. At this, a number of Italian soldiers hoisted a white flag and surrendered.

According to D’Annunzio's account, Randaccio was struck by an Austrian bullet before the hill was taken. D’Annunzio was by his side, and rested his head on the folded tricolour Italian flag. Several times Randaccio asked if the hill had been taken, as D’Annunzio lied, telling him that it had because, as he said, “a hero cannot do other than die victorious.” According to D’Annunzio, as he lay dying Randaccio begged D’Annunzio to give him the poison capsule that the poet, he knew, always carried with him in battle. Three times he asked for it and three times D’Annunzio refused because, as he explained in his funeral oration: "It was necessary for him to suffer so that his life could become sublime in the immortality of death".

However, according to the account included in the official citation for his gold medal, he succeeded in taking the hill but was shot soon afterwards. According to other accounts, having taken and lost at the hill, Randaccio showed great bravery in leading his men in retreat, ensuring that they made their way back to the river, where they threw themselves in the water and swam back across. While escorting the last of them off the promontory, Randaccio was struck by enemy fire. Orderlies carried him towards safety on a stretcher under fire, but he was struck by a second bullet, and they dropped him and fled. He was eventually brought to safety but did not survive long.

Exactly what role D’Annunzio played during the last hours of his friend”s life is difficult to determine. While his own account may give the impression that they were together on the front line, D’Annunzio never crossed the river himself, remaining on the west bank throughout the fighting. According to some accounts, D’Annunzio was so enraged at the retreat from hill 28 that he ordered the Italian artillery to open fire on its own men as they struggled to get back across the Timavo.

According to Guido Agosti (see bibliography) Randaccio himself never crossed the river either, observing the advance from the west bank, throwing himself onto the catwalk to assist his retreating men and being mortally wounded there.

To add to the uncertainty, the stele memorialising Randaccio's death has been moved. It was originally placed on the west bank of the Timavo, near a footbridge, in 1919. However it now lies at San Giovanni di Duino alongside the SS14 road, under the monument to the Wolves of Tuscany, where it was moved following the industrialization of the Lisert district. At least one authority suggests that the move dates to 1932; however the 1949 Duino sheet of the Military Geographic Institute shows the "Cippo Randaccio" still in its original position, on the west bank.

Legacy
Randaccio became a central figure in D’Annunzio's hero mythology, as a martyr and sacrificial victim. The flag on which D’Annunzio had first rested his head and later wrapped his body was used to cover his coffin at his funeral; it was to become a key symbolic object during the Italian Regency of Carnaro and D’Annunzio later kept it at his home, Vittoriale degli Italiani.

There are many streets and schools in Italy named after Randaccio. There is also a piazza Giovanni Randaccio in Rome.

James S. Thompson House

The James S. Thompson House is a historical home located just outside New Boston, in Mercer County, Illinois. The two story brick Italianate house was completed in 1862, built by James S. Thompson, a successful local businessman. The property includes several outbuildings constructed at the same time as the house, including a wash house, wood storage house, and a privy, all made of brick. A wooden barn and wooden children's playhouse were also built by 1862.

Thompson died in 1868. Stanton V. Prentiss, a local farmer and cattleman rented the property from the estate starting in 1879 and purchased it in 1885.

The home is built in the Italianate style, 28 feet by 44 feet on the lower floor, 36 feet by 38 feet on the upper. A front gabled roof, cupola, and a basement that extents about five feet above ground combine to give the house additional stature. The floor plan is similar from basement to second floor, with the same 4 rooms (2 rooms on each side separated by a central hallway) on each floor. The privy is brick with four seats and a ventilation system.

The house and four contributing outbuildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.

Talk:Strategic simulations

Division of Peace Studies and Simulations
Thanks for your message on simulations. Unfortunately I haven't had a lot of time lately, so haven't been able to develop the Division any further yet. I think it would be good to incorporate simulations into the Peace Studies department. Should I just provide a link to this page, or incorporate it into course material and assignments?

 * Good question, really... I haven't yet figured out how to incorporate them into Strategic Studies stuff. Currently I'm just running them as projects to be contributed to by Strat Studies students, but I imagine they will work their way into courses later. I am currently putting together "Liberal Diplomacy" that might be a stepping stone on the road to a collaborative course in Peace Studies though. What if you started a course with a game of Diplomacy to talk about Realist competition and Self Interest, then had a game of Liberal Diplomacy (the purpose of which is to capture some basic arguments of the Liberal School and present Cooperation as an option even the self-interested could choose under the right circumstances), and we perhaps developed games that went from simple conquering down to the fine detail of balancing and harmonizing economic policies... a bit of a pipe dream, but though I was brought up a Realist, I like to slap them around every once in a while. Hope my incoherent banter isn't too odd to follow, haven't had much sleep of late! I should be in bed now...--Dnjkirk 17:45, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

China simulation
I developed a simulation in grad school that mimics the decision making quandries faced within the upper levels of the Chinese government. It is scenario driven, so the situations will become dated over time, but maybe the scenarios could be considered examples and users could modify them. I'm not sure whether the country topic could be modified as well, since the game design was based on the PRC. There are four "players", each representing a power base within the PRC, so classes could play four sides and split the room into teams. We ran the game three times and people seemed to enjoy it. I have the elements of the game already written out, and I even have a couple photographs of the board, and I would be willing to post them here if such a contribution would be welcome. I'm just not sure of the parameters. --Pnoble805 15:11, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It is definitely welcome. Feel free to create a new learning project. Erkan Yilmaz Wikiversity:Chat  18:15, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
