PHP Programming/Templates

Basic Templating
The simplest use of templates in PHP is very powerful for reducing errors and time spent on your pages. First, make sure your server has PHP enabled, etc., etc.

When you're ready to start, make one page that will be the template for all your pages. For example:

This is a title at the top of my page This is the body of my page This is a copyright notice

Now, say you want 2 more pages with the same header and footer. You don't have to code it again. You can save the header as one template and the footer as another. Just take all the header html up to the part where your body text begins:

This is a title at the top of my page

Now save this as a separate file. I like to use the extension .inc (do the same with the footer)

This is the bottom of my page

Now, in your main page, just type: And that's your page. Save it as a .php, upload it, and check it.

Managed Templating
Managed Templating allows you to create and use PHP Templates with a Template Engine. The PHP Developer/Designer doesn't have to create the engine for it to be used. The most reliable PHP Templating Engine is Smarty. Managed Template Systems are easy to use and are mostly used in big websites because of the need for dynamic paging. MediaWiki is one example of a Managed Template System. Managed Templating is easy to use for new and advanced users, for example:

 * index.php

The Value of Variable is : {$variable} The Value of Variable is : value
 * template.tpl
 * Output

Roll Your Own
Template engines work great, however if you are just looking for the basic Search and Replace template functionality, writing your own script is a snap.

 * Simple template function

 * Using the function

 * template.tpl, Template used for the above function

 * Parsed template output

Reference re Provincial Electoral Boundaries (Sask)

Reference Re Provincial Electoral Boundaries (Sask), [1991] 2 S.C.R. 158 is a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of Canada on the right to vote under section 3 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Court rejected the US principle of "one man, one vote" from the US Supreme Court decision of Baker v. Carr (1962), and instead held that the right to vote meant "effective representation".

Background
The government of Saskatchewan passed a law establishing a commission to revise the provincial electoral boundaries. The Act created a quota for rural and urban constituencies, and required that the boundaries conform with the existing municipal boundaries. Consequently, the degree of representation between the districts varied between 15 and 25%.

Opinion of the Court
Justice McLachlin, writing for the majority, held that the deviation between districts did not violate section 3 of the Charter. She stated that "the purpose of the right to vote in section 3 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is not equality of voting power but the right to 'effective representation'. Our democracy is a representative democracy. Each citizen has the right to be represented within the governmental edifice." However, the decision also meant that constituencies should have a reasonably similar number of voters for the representation to be effective; room for disproportionality was allowed due to geographical limits in drawing boundaries and to give minorities more representation within a constituency.

Justice Cory, writing in dissent, held that the provincial government should not be able to impose restrictions on boundaries revision committee, and accordingly, there should be a violation of section 3 of the Charter.

Charles Piers Egerton Hall

Charles Piers Hall (25 July 1918 – 31 March 1944) was a British pilot who was taken prisoner during the Second World War. He was part of the 'Great Escape' from Stalag Luft III in March 1944, but was captured and subsequently shot by the Gestapo.

War service
Hall was born in Kings Norton near Birmingham; He enlisted in the Royal Air Force pre-war as a regular service airman with the service number 550173 on 11 February 1935. He trained to be a photographer in Halton. He was stationed as a photographer at Station Calshot on 18 February 1936, then served as a photographer on HMS Argus from 10 September 1938 and at NAS Eastleigh from 9 June 1939. Hall started his pilot training at 4 ITW at RAF Paignton at 19 August 1940, followed by flight training at No. 9 SFTS at RAF Hullavington from 4 December 1940. Hall was a leading aircraftman at the time he was commissioned as pilot officer on 17 April 1941 for the duration of hostilities. During World War II he served as a flight lieutenant in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve. On 19 November 1941 he became a pilot for the 1st Photographic Reconnaissance Unit (PRU) flying out of RAF Benson South Oxfordshire, England. He flew his first operational photographic reconnaissance mission on 16 December 1941 in Spitfire PR.IV AB120, photographing over IJmuiden, Amsterdam, Zwolle and Hilversum. Hall flew his second operational photographic reconnaissance mission one day later, on 17 December 1941, again in Spitfire PR.IV AB120. His mission was to photograph targets in the area of Kiel, Brunsbüttel and the Frisian islands. Due to a solid cloud layer at low altitude he was unable to take photographs and when he observed two enemy aircraft approaching from the southeast he started his return home.

Prisoner of war
Hall was flying 1 PRU Spitfire PR.IV AA804 on 28 December 1941 when the aircraft came down over Bergen op Zoom, the Netherlands. He had been on a high-level reconnaissance mission to Düsseldorf and Essen to photograph bombed factories when he was either shot down or suffered engine failure (accounts vary). It was the aircraft's first operational flight and Hall's third operational flight. He became a prisoner of war and was sent to Oflag IX-AH Spangenberg Castle, followed by Stalag Luft III in Germany in the province of Lower Silesia near the town of Sagan (now Żagań in Poland). Hall was promoted flying officer on 17 April 1942. and flight lieutenant on 17 April 1943.

'Great Escape'

 * See Stalag Luft III murders

He was one of the 76 men who escaped the prison camp on the night of 24–25 March 1944, in the escape now famous as "the Great Escape". He was recaptured near Sagan. He was one of the 50 executed and murdered by the Gestapo on the personal orders of Adolf Hitler on 31 March 1944 and then cremated at Liegnitz, now remembered at the Poznan Old Garrison Cemetery. Before his execution he had written on his cell wall "We who are about to die salute you".

Awards
His conspicuous bravery was recognized by a mention in Despatches as none of the other relevant decorations then available could be awarded posthumously.

Rhinelandic Rhyming Bible

The Rhinelandic Rhyming Bible (Rijnlandse Rijmbijbel and Rheinische Reimbibel), or (erroneously) Central Franconian Rhyming Bible (Mittelfränkische Reimbibel), is a verse translation of biblical histories, attested only in a series of fragments, probably of early-twelfth-century date. It was likely composed in north-west Germany in the early 12th century, possibly in Werden Abbey, on the border of Old High German (Old Central Franconian), Old Low German (Old Low Saxon), and Old Dutch (Old Low Franconian).

The recovered fragments come from three different manuscripts written in the three different language variants. They are currently referenced under the letters A, A *, B, B * and C. The fragments complement each other, although there is also a small overlap between the A and B versions. The A fragments can be clearly assigned to a Dutch Low Franconian writer, the B fragments and the C fragment would rather be of German Central Franconian origin, although others also consider the C-fragment to be rather Low Franconian. In total, about 1450 verses were found. The original should have been at least twice as long.

The material contains the early Old Testament, the Gospels, the apocryphal and hagiographical legends relating to early Church history. In its original form the work may have incorporated the Creation to the Last Judgement. The text is a series of homilies, and an important witness to the possible existence of a vernacular sermon tradition at an earlier date than existing manuscript evidence suggests. The text is also an important source for Old Dutch.

2004 Salt Lake County mayoral election

The 2004 Salt Lake County mayoral election was held to elect the Mayor of Salt Lake County, Utah on November 2, 2004, alongside the presidential, House of Representatives, Senate and gubernatorial elections. This marked the second election to the office since the post was created in 2000.

In 2000, Nancy Workman was elected as the first county mayor. However, in June 2004, she came under investigation for hiring two county-paid employees who had worked for her daughter at the Boys and Girls Clubs of South Valley, resulting in her being placed on paid administrative leave on July 9, replaced with Deputy Mayor Alan Dayton.

Democrat Peter Corroon won the election as one of two Democrats to win the county during the election cycle, alongside gubernatorial candidate Scott Matheson Jr., while the county backed Republicans George W. Bush for President and Bob Bennett for Senator.

Democratic Party

 * Peter Corroon, businessman

Republican Party

 * Ellis Ivory, businessman

Dropped out

 * Nancy Workman, former County Mayor (2001–2004)

Despite being placed on administrative leave, Workman still remained the Republican candidate and refused to withdraw. However, after revelations that she had paid her daughter's former boyfriend for county computer work that was never done, Salt Lake County GOP voted on October 5 to withdraw support for her, instead supporting Ivory, who until then was running as a write-in candidate. On October 12, Workman filed papers with County Clerk Sherrie Swensen to officially withdraw from the race, including a note from her physician, Philip Roberts, saying she was "disabled" and unable to continue. Swensen rejected the county GOP attempt to certify Ivory as their candidate, forcing the party to hold an emergency central committee meeting and succeeding a week before the election, despite lawsuits from Democratic Party.

Independent

 * Merrill Cook, Utah's 2nd congressional district representative 1997–2001

Personal Choice

 * F. Joseph Irish

Super Pumped

Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber is a 2019 book by New York Times journalist Mike Isaac. The book covers the events between the founding of Uber and its initial public offering in 2019.

Background
The book was based on Mike Isaac's coverage of events at Uber for New York Times.

Synopsis
The book presents the history of Uber since its founding by Garrett Camp as UberCab in 2009. Travis Kalanick, who would later run the company and become its largest shareholder before being removed as CEO, was originally brought in as an advisor with its first employee Ryan Graves as its CEO. The book explains how Kalanick came to replace Graves, who stayed on with the company, and gained control over the startup. According to the book, Kalanick was bitter about how venture capitalists had treated his first startup, Scour, and he vowed not to be replaced by them again. The book details the "work hard, play hard" culture at Uber, citing a party where employees celebrated the first billion dollars in revenues in Las Vegas. It also examines the many scandals experienced by the company, including allegations of sexual harassment documented by Susan Fowler, attempts to keep regulators from hiring Uber drivers to avoid fines, and the mishandling of personal information, including in the case of a rape victim in India. It also looks at the ways that, despite these incidents, the company was considered a unicorn by venture capitalists. Isaac writes that for a time, Uber was one of the highest valued private companies in Silicon Valley. The book ends with the company entering the market at below its valuation target.

Critical reception
The book was well-received upon publication. Wired named it its "Book of the Month", praising it for detailing the many problems at the company without vilifying Kalanick. Leslie Berlin wrote in The New York Times that "Isaac is great at the ticktock of events as they unfold, but his best work comes when he steps back to examine the bigger picture."

Television adaptation
In May 2021, it was announced that Showtime had given a series order to a television adaptation of the book from Billions creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien. Koppelman, Levien and Beth Schacter will serve as showrunners, writers, and executive producers. Joseph Gordon-Levitt will star as Kalanick. Kyle Chandler will also star as Bill Gurley. Kerry Bishé joined the cast as Austin Geidt. Babak Tafti and Mousa Hussein Kraish joined the cast. Hank Azaria joined the cast as Tim Cook. Bridget Gao-Hollitt was added to the cast as Gabi. The series premiered on February 27, 2022.

Talk:Swing Dancing

This is a great idea for a textbook! It's possible to insert animated gifs into wikibooks pages; that might be useful for a few demonstrations.

 * Thanks! It'd be cool if somebody was able to construct something similar to the animated gifs present at jiveoholics anonymous. Unfortunately, I really don't have the graphics know-how to do something like this. Alternatively, somebody could take photographs of people performing the moves. --NeuronExMachina 07:40, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)

6 count basic section
I have a few comments on the 6 count basic section.

The basic step I was taught has the back step coming first. Using the numbers for the steps listed here, the lead starts with #5 then 6 then 1 on through the rest of the steps. And, for the follow it is a mirror image of the lead, going back with the right foot instead of the left.

Plus, I was tempted to just delete the word "crap." Instead I'll just say I don't think personal opinions about the triple step was a proper thing to add. Actually for a beginner, I wouldn't have mention that any step taking up those 4 counts could be substituted for the side/side moves. They usually have enough trouble remembering to keep frame while keeping count to the basic step.

go nuts.
This is a wiki, so anything that you see that you feel like you can improve, you should change. --Waxmop 00:37, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Is this a how-to?
I think that this would make a fine addition to the how to section. Just because it isn't written like crap and doesn't baby the reader, doesn't mean it wouldn't be good there.

Naming and types of dance to include
<IP_ADDRESS> As with the swing dance wikipedia article, it might make sense to distinguish between the swing dances under discussion in this book - eg lindy hop, west coast swing, etc etc etc - and to make some sort of comment about the types of steps which are most frequently associated with each style _historically_ and in the current swing dancing world.

Overall Structure
<IP_ADDRESS> It might be useful to reference the history of 'swing dancing' at the beginning of the article, and then to divide each section into specific styles (with some sort of disclaimer at the beginning making it clear that it's perfectly ok to borrow from each style in the social context), with a comment about each style. Not to reproduce the individual wikipedia articles, but to perhaps make it clear that 'swing dancing' is a wide genre, made up of many styles (with different histories).

Cultural Specificity
<IP_ADDRESS> It's important to note that 'swing dances' and 'swing dancing' culture are different in each city and local scene. For eg, there is almost no west coast swing dancing in Australia, yet ceroc and rock and roll are very popular and quite similar in dance style, yet differnt in culture. The discussion of etiquette in this wikibook is a good example.

Reorganization
I'm going to suggest some basic reorganization here. Per other Wikibooks that I've seen and liked, I think it makes the most sense to have the Swing Dancing page as a Table of Contents for the Manual. Then the subpages (e.g. East Coast Basic, Charleston Basic, Lindy Hop Basic, Intermediate Moves, etc.) link off of that. If no one has any objections I'll be bold in the next few days.--Will.i.am 23:01, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, I did it. I did some major revamping of the structure here to make it all un-orphaned and easier to follow.  Now all it needs is some TLC.--Will.i.am 23:14, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Application for visualisation
Just a heads up if you want to add some pictures of the steps to this book. There is a nice free Java application, that can be used for illustrating dancing steps that already has the basic moves for all dances built in. Have a look here: http://www.sebastianbauer.info/index.php?page=simpledance If you create new moves, don't forget to write a mail to the author, so he can make them available to everyone. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:19, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

John Upton (died 1687)

John Upton (1639-1687) of Lupton in the parish of Brixham in Devon, was a Member of Parliament for Dartmouth in Devon (2 1/2 miles south-west of Lupton) from February 1679 to August 1679.

Origins
He was the eldest son and heir of Arthur Upton (1614-1662) of Lupton, a Member of Parliament for Devon in 1654 and 1656 during the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell, by his wife Elizabeth Gould (d. 1685), daughter of William Gould of Floyer Hayes in the parish of St Thomas, Exeter, and widow of Robert Haydon (1604-1634) of Cadhay in the parish of Ottery St Mary, Devon.

Marriage and children
He married Ursula Lytcott (d.1709), a daughter of Sir John Lytcott (died c.1645), of East Molesey in Surrey and widow of George Clerk of the City of London, merchant. Sir John Lytcott was a Gentleman of the Privy Chamber and in 1633 had purchased the manor of East Molesey from Ralph Freeman. He was buried in St Mary's Church, East Molesey, where survives his monument and several to members of the Clerk family, his daughter's children, who became his heirs. The arms of Lytcott (Or, two bars vairy argent and sable) are shown impaled by Upton on John Upton's monument in Brixham Church. Ursula's sister Anne Lytcott was the wife of John Thurloe (1616-1668) a Secretary to the Council of State in The Protectorate and spymaster for Oliver Cromwell.

By his wife he had three sons and one daughter, who all predeceased him as follows:
 * Arthur I Upton (1666-1666), eldest son and heir apparent, born in Dublin, Ireland, died an infant aged one month.
 * Arthur II Upton (1667-1680), second son born at Lupton and died an infant aged three at Kingsbridge, buried Brixham.
 * John Upton (1668-1686), third son, born at Lupton and died aged 18 in December 1686, nine months before his father, at Wadham College, Oxford, where he was buried.
 * Ursula Upton (1671-1687), only daughter, born at Lupton and died in London on 21 August 1687, aged 16, 17 days before her father and was buried in his grave in Brixham Church.

Death, burial & monument
He died on 7 September 1687 at Salisbury aged 49 and was buried in St Mary's Church, Brixham, on 20 September 1687, where his mural monument survives on the north wall of the nave inscribed as follows:
 * "In memory of John Upton of Lupton Esq(ui)r(e) who piously and righteously served God and his country in his private and publick station while a justice of peace and burgesse for Dartmouth in three Parliaments at his proper cost and charges. This monument was erected by his most disconsolate relict Ursula, daughter of S(i)r John Lytcott of Moulsey in the county of Surr(e)y, K(nigh)t, with whom he lived 22 years in true conjugall affection and by whom he had three sons and one daughter: the first dyed young and others, educated in the fear of the Lord and kept from the vices of youth, gave great hopes of being eminently serviceable, were early transplanted dyeing in the true Christian faith before their father who departed this life at Salisbury Sept(ember) the 7th and was here interred the 20th Anno Aetatis 49o (Anno) Domini 1687.

William Bailey (British Army officer)

Stanley William Bailey was a British Army officer in World War II, who reached the rank of colonel and was most notable for being the head and then political advisor of the British Special Operations Executive Liaison Mission to the Chetnik Forces of Draža Mihailović from December 25, 1942—January 29, 1944. British policy toward Mihailović was shaped by the regular reports from Bailey. Bailey's position on General Mihailović was influential in undermining the relationship between Mihailović and the Chetniks with Churchill and the British Foreign Office, and consequently with the other Allied nations.

Early life
Bailey attended Emanuel School in Wandsworth, in London, England. Before the Second World War, Bailey lived in Kingdom of Yugoslavia for some time when he was an engineer in the Trepča Mines. He learned to speak the Serbian language fluently. During the First World War Bailey was a member of the British SOE team in Athens, Greece when the king of Greece was removed and pro-Allied Venizelist government installed.

World War II
Upon returning from a mission in Canada, Bailey was parachuted into Mihailović's headquarters on December 25, 1942, as a British Liaison Officer (BLO) for the British SOE mission to Mihailović. The chief of Bailey's staff in the Chetnik headquarters was Major Kenneth Greenlees.

Head of Allied Mission at Chetnik HQ
Apart from this mission headed by Bailey, there were nine other British missions to Chetnik commanders beginning in April 1943. Bailey reported to his superiors that Mihailović had the overwhelming support of the people in Serbia while the strength of Communists there was negligible. Mihailović gave the code name "Miloš" to Bailey, either with reference to Kosovo, where Bailey lived previous to his military service, or in reference to the Serbian hero of the Battle of Kosovo, Miloš Obilić.

Crisis in Africa
The British General Harold Alexander sent a personal telegram to Draža Mihailović before the Allied offensive against Rommel in Africa, requesting him to organize a large-scale campaign against Axis lines of communication in order to obstruct transport of German war materièl through Serbia to Thessaloniki and from there to Libya. After his arrival at Chetnik headquarters, Bailey decided to reinforce the British mission to the Chetniks with well-trained British military sappers who could help the Chetniks to be more effective in sabotaging German lines of communication. In May 1942 Mihailović demanded heavy explosives from the British command that would be used to cut the German supply line running through Serbia and the Aegean to German forces in North Africa. The successful accomplishment of this sabotage campaign was witnessed by fellow SOE liaison officer, Colonel "Bill" Hudson. On December 1, 1942, Mihailović received a greeting from the Chief of the British Imperial General Staff, Alan Brooke who expressed his felicitations for this wonderful achievement of the Yugoslav Army. Mihailović's disruption of Axis communications was probably instrumental in victory of Allies against Rommel in Africa, so the British Near East Command jointly sent a telegram to Mihailovic on August 16, 1943, stating: "With admiration we are following your directed operations which are of inestimable value to our allied cause." Hitler blamed the Chetniks in Serbia for his defeat in Africa and issued an order for the complete annihilation of all Chetnik forces. Evidence for this exists in a letter sent to Mussolini in a letter on February 16, 1943: "We have no other choice, but to annihilate all Chetniks and use the most brutal means against the bandits."

By 1942, Yugoslav Partisans had begun to allege that Mihailović's Chetniks were collaborating with German forces. Bailey, though confirming Colonel Hudson's earlier reports about agreements between some Montenegrin Chetniks and the Italians, emphasized that he found "no evidence of direct collaboration between Mihailović himself and the Germans and Italians."

While he was in Lipovo, Bailey went to Kolašin three times, one of these times in February when he visited Pavle Đurišić and inspected Chetnik units before their departure to Neretva. On this occasion Bailey offered to Đurišić British support to replace Mihailović as Chetnik leader, but Đurišić refused and personally informed Mihailović about this offer.

British Convince Mihailović they Could "Make Him or Break Him"
When the crisis of Allies in Africa had passed, the Chetniks reverted to a policy of tactical inactivity toward the Axis forces, which was criticized by the British. In his report sent to SOE headquarters in Cairo, Bailey emphasized: "...the time has come to treat Mihailović firmly. He must be made to realize that we could make him or break him."

Starting in December 1943, the United Kingdom withdrew all support from Mihailović and his Yugoslav Army of the Homeland (Chetniks), and began exclusively to support and heavily supply the Partisan Communist forces in Yugoslavia. Prior to this, beginning in 1942, the BBC repeatedly gave credit to communists for anti-Axis action performed, in reality, by Mihailović's Chetniks, this was especially true during September and October 1943, which contributed to an official policy increasingly set against Mihailović. Nevertheless, Mihailović launched a campaign against Axis positions in Eastern Bosnia in October 1943, inflicting hundreds of casualties on Axis forces and liberating Višegrad, Rogatica and many other places. Still the British media, following the BBC, attributed each Chetnik victory to rival Communist forces. This enraged the Chetniks to the extent that, before Brigadier Charles Armstrong was dispatched to Chetnik headquarters in July 1943, Colonel Bailey advised him that Chetniks were angry and that, "Mihailović "won't hear of the British anymore". When Armstrong arrived at Mihailović's Chetnik headquarters at the end of September 1943, he became the head of British mission and Bailey assumed position of his political advisor. Bailey organized the handing over arms of the Italian Venezia division of 8,000 Italian soldiers to the Communists instead of to the Chetniks. The final consequence of this was that Chetniks were forced to leave the valley of the river Lim.

The head of the American Mission to General Mihailović, Capt. Walter R. Mansfield, proposed to retain one member of the British and American army with Mihailović after Armstrong and Mansfield left it, but Bailey refused this proposal. Bailey left Yugoslavia for Bari on 29 January 1944.

Historian Mark Wheeler emphasizes that Colonel Bailey did not have the qualifications—neither the education nor the political background—to do full justice as a liaison officer between the SOE and General Mihailović. Bailey's influence was instrumental in counterproductively destroying Mihailović's credibility with Churchill and the British Foreign Office, thus cementing Allied support for Tito and his Partisans, and laying the path for an unhindered Communist dictatorship immediately following the War.

Develop cascading style sheets

From the official document:
 * "This unit defines the competency required to develop cascading style sheets (CSS) that are attached to a mark-up language document in order to externally define and control styles to enhance and achieve commonality between web documents."

That means you'll be able to add some style to your web pages without putting your style directly into your HTML document. Why is that important? Take a few minutes to browse some of the designs at the css Zen Garden.

Imagine putting together a 100+ page website, then the boss comes down and says, "Actually, I think I'd like a blue background better." and walks off. If you've coded your styles the right way, then you'll only need to change one file to affect all 100+ web pages with the new blue background!

You can read more about this unit on the National Training Information Systems Official document for ICAB4171A.

This unit forms part of the following qualifications:
 * Cert IV Websites Qualification in Australia

How this unit will help you
After learning and applying the skills required by this unit you'll be able to demonstrate your skills in:

 * identifying the presentational aspects of your web page that can be controlled with CSS (e.g. fonts, colours, the position of blocks of text and images)
 * removing any old HTML that has been used to control the presentation of the web page.
 * writing the CSS to control the presentation of your web page
 * including that CSS in your web page in a variety of ways (in-line, internal and external)
 * editing your CSS to change the way it affects the HTML
 * validating the CSS and checking that it works in a range of browsers

Ideas for learning the required skills
Work through the Tizag tutorial then look back through a web page you've created already (or pick up a page from the web), replacing HTML attributes with CSS wherever possible.

Taking on the CSS challenges to flex your CSS skills!

Have a look at Creating a CSS layout from scratch to see how CSS is used to position images and blocks of text on a page, then try it with a page of your own.

Build a Photographic Gallery Using CSS using pictures of your own or some creative commons images from flickr

Follow the tutorials at Web_Design/CSS.

Ideas for demonstrating this unit
Create some web pages that use CSS to define the look and feel of the pages, as well as the placement of page elements. Include this CSS in different ways (in-line, internal and external), and show how you can over-ride external CSS with internal and/or in-line CSS. Upload and validate your CSS using the W3C CSS Validation Service. Show your pages in a variety of browsers (perhaps browsercam, netrenderer or browsershots could help here)

Grading
If you are demonstrating this unit as part of a formal course, you might find that the unit is graded (meaning you can not only demonstrate your competence, but can also gain a credit or distinction). Your facilitator may already have set criteria that your college uses. If not, here are some ideas for possible credit/distinction activities that you can discuss with your facilitator:

 * Complete layout with CSS positioning.
 * use CSS with lists to create navigation 'buttons' on a page
 * understand and discuss the difference between CSS level 1 and 2
 * create both fixed-width and floating layout pages using CSS
 * Demonstrate min-width/max-width in a design (and degrade gracefully in IE6)
 * create css for print, mobile and screen media types
 * discuss the difference between @include and <link for external CSS files
 * investigate and experiment with CSS level 3
 * use CSS for image manipulation (rounded corners, rollovers, popups, drop shadows)

Notes and discrepancies

 * To my mind inheritance, classes, IDs and pseudo classes don't get enough emphasis in this module.
 * what happened to CSS media types - don't people care about these any more?

Talk:Serial Programming/Introduction and OSI Model

I thank the author of the article for his effort. While admittedly a work in progress, He has set the stage for developing educational activities based on the fundementals of serial communications. I agree that this topic has an ideal basis for curriculum inclusion.

I'm especially thankful of the statement that tags the end with a nice anchor for my own thoughts:
 * ''"This doesn't have to be that complicated of a subject, and it is possible for
 * mere mortals to be able to understand how everything works."

Educational Application
Is this section redundant? Is it really about "intended audience" or should Programming:Serial_Data_Communications be deleted? I recognize that the two sections originally came from different books that are still in the process of merging. --SV Resolution 17:35, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

style guide ; feedback (strictly imo)
If you see how http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk713/tk628/technologies_tech_note09186a00800f9e3a.shtml is written, there is a technical style in use here. I'm not familiar with the rest of the wikibook here to make an absolute judgment. However, it's in my opinion that the style could be changed from a speaker, to a reference. If the goal is to make the content not too technical, I still think it can be accomplished.

Just my two cents. thanks, and good luck. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (discuss • contribs)

 * Keep in mind, this was not intended to be a reference manual originally, but something more of an informal tutorial. I deliberately tried to follow the style used in what IMHO thought was an outstanding tutorial book with Jack Crenshaw's "Let's Build A Compiler!" text (Google the name and you'll find the book).  I certainly didn't want a dry reference manual, as there are dozens of those for serial programming that are available.  In fact, the kind of ultra dry and terse writing that you have given in the above example is precisely what I was trying to avoid.

 * I've sort of run out of steam with this book and haven't really worked on it for... gosh... almost a year now or more. It is something that I want to get back to, and really work on stylistically.  There are a whole bunch of areas that I haven't even touched including some more high-level applications I'd like to get into.  But even so there is some content that can still be useful for understanding the low-level guts of serial communication.

 * I don't want this to sound that I'm "possessive" of this text, and I'm willing to let others "edit mercilessly and redistribute at will". Even so, it is important to know where I was coming from to start this project oh so long ago.  --Rob Horning (talk) 04:11, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello Rob. This is a valuable book and the tutorial style is interesting.  Please don't abandon the project.  My first impression is that some of the prose is very wordy and even redundant in places.  Rather than sabotage the tutorial style I suggest making the prose more concise.  I've revised two sentences in the Introduction.  Have a look and revert or revise again according to your preferences.  A good rule in technical writing is to keep sentences short.  That helps a reader focus on a subtle meaning.  Technical prose can also be pleasant to read.  How is that?  Regards, ... PeterEasthope (discuss • contribs) 15:55, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - I'm not sure whether the funding pieces do not meet WP:ORGCRIT. Perhaps you meant that it's a single event, thus it is not significant? I see there are multiple reliable secondary sources from May 2018, May 2019, August 2019, September 2019. So the references do not revolve around a single event. Moreover, the pieces on The Wall Street Journal and VentureBeat were done by staff reporters, independent of the subject, and both articles provide significant coverage of the company. — Kstone999 (talk) 14:05, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * These are general announcements about recent funding so the WSJ and VB articles would not be considered significant when it comes to company notability. I agree that the sources are reliable, but they don't provide anything in-depth that can establish notability. --CNMall41 (talk) 16:28, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - I understand what you're saying, but I still stand with my earlier decision. Both articles don't just mention the funding rounds but go more in-depth about the platform, it's history, successes. Moreover, it looks like there are other non-funding-related sources available, like this one, which were not added to the article. Perhaps it could be tagged with {More citations needed} or {Sources exist}, but I leave it up to you. — Kstone999 (talk) 18:00, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

 * You asked do I think WSJ would cover funding of a non-notable business? Why yes, yes I most positively would! Also, it not only has to meet ORGCRIT, but references (for the purposes of establishing notability) must also meet CORPDEPTH and most importantly WP:ORGIND. Anyway, this article in HIT Consultant is based on an announcement and therefore fails WP:ORGIND, this Enterprise Talk reference also fails ORGIND as it is clearly written with large input by the company/client as a "use case" (and happens to be the only "use case" on the website...) but more importantly, does not provide any original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Finally, the MobiHealth News reference is also based on a company announcement and relies entirely on material/quotes from the company, also fails WP:ORGIND.  HighKing++ 10:13, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Please, check, , , , . Do you think these are spam? KartikeyaS343 (talk) 07:31, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * OK then. This Business Insider article could be a good reference since analyst reports are regarded as meeting the criteria for establishing notability so long as the report provides in-depth information on the company and isn't a mere mention-in-passing. Seeing as the company is explicitly mentioned, I think this is a good reference. This VentureBeat reference fails WP:ORGIND as it is based on a company announcement. I've dealt with this previously, fails ORGIND. This Biz Journals reference fails ORGIND as it relies entirely on material provided by the company/client and is the usual spam/pr churnalism we see in business "journalism" and what tightening the guidelines in WP:NCORP was set to explicitly avoid for the purposes of establishing notability. Finally, this Business Insider reference is marked as PR and therefore fails WP:ORGIND. So there's potentially one good reference. We need two for a company to be notable. Any other research reports?  HighKing++ 10:13, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for your kind explanation. Do you think this WSJ article adds anything to it? I believe WSJ wouldn't do churnalism. Please, let me know. KartikeyaS343 (talk) 15:59, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * That's largely based on a funding announcement, counts as "trivial coverage" (see WP:CORPDEPTH) and doesn't count towards establishing notability.  HighKing++ 12:21, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete There's potentially one research report available which discusses the company but I am unable to access a copy. An article requires "multiple" references to meet the criteria for establishing notability. None of the other references meet the criteria (most are the usual churnalism) and I am unable to locate any other references that meet the criteria. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP but I'm happy to revisit my !vote is another good reference turns up.  HighKing++ 10:13, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Thank you very much for taking time to look at the sources. I have added another journal citation in the article. KartikeyaS343 (talk) 14:26, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. Its got coverage in reputable independent sources like Healthcare IT News and the San Francisco Business Times.Rathfelder (talk) 19:18, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, possibly Strong delete - When I did Google quotation mark-enclosed phrase searches for "Luma Health" on Google News and Google web search, the only articles I found were related to their venture capital funding raises, employee hires and departures, and signing of business deals with other companies—all of which amount to trite, trivial, and inconsequential matters. At the same time, the rest of the results were Yellow Pages-esque directory listings. There were only two articles from the BizJournals and San Francisco Business Times that may provide a substantive enough article to meet WP:NCORP and WP:SIG standards to establish WP:CORPDEPTH, but it's doubtful. Doug Mehus (talk) 22:24, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

 * , They have to be WP:SIG significant coverage - at least five of which provide significant, over-arching and exhaustive works on the company's history. They can't just mention the company in a tangential way or cover it from routine business, VC financing, and partnership perspectives. I still say it's a 'strong delete, though that's not to say someone is welcome to re-create it in the future and have it go through AfC process. We're drowning in WP:CORPSPAM and, to improve, Wikipedia's got to get smaller. -DM

 * , Thanks. Ref #17 is a company-commissioned survey (trivial or trite coverage), #18 is a directory listing of select company executives as far as I see it, and #19 might qualify. I haven't checked the journal article, but if it's not about the company. it doesn't qualify. The company might be producing notable medicines, which could be notable, but that doesn't mean it is notable.

 * Weak keep. Well, here's my two cents: a few of the sources are merely listings (e.g. Bloomberg), while others (WSJ, Business review/journal articles; medical journal) are both reliable and substantial. I'm leaning towards keeping because, overall, there is in fact significant coverage of the corporation and its services. Bearian (talk) 01:34, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
 * , Do they provide substantial coverage about the company, more than just tangential or passing mentions, and more than just capital raises, business partnerships, strategic alliances, asset sales or purchases, executive announcements, and the like—all of which are considered "trivial coverage"—such that we could write at least a C- or B-class article of sufficient WP:CORPDEPTH?Doug Mehus (talk) 01:47, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
 * , The articles from WSJ and a few of the business magazines are behind paywalls, which in my mind actually means they are substantial. IF these media companies charge you, there must be something good behind the curtain, right? Bearian (talk) 01:52, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
 * , LOL, that's disappointing Bloomberg has started charging for access to the articles. Many Bloomberg articles, though, tend to relate to corporate earnings announcements, merger speculation, asset sale rumours, and product announcements—none of which is substantial. I don't think my academic library subscribes to Wall Street Journal, so probably can't look it up. Have you tried using Sci-Hub or Academia.edu to look up the journal article?
 * , *sigh* I can't, since I'm neither teaching nor enrolled in grad school full-time this semester. Bearian (talk) 01:58, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep - If we ignore some of the business listings and company profiles, there are sources that meet both WP:RS and WP:IS. As HighKing pointed out with the research reports. I'm subscribed to the SF bizjournals and can attest that there is enough focus on the subject to meet WP:SIGCOV. Centron    X   11:23, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per CentronX.4meter4 (talk) 03:23, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete: What I see was a non-notable run-of-the-mill company that is lacking in reliable sources according to acceptable standards. An editor added more to apparently bolster the notability and I see two references, dated the same day, that mention raising 6 million and 6.3 million and I wager these are referring to the same money. There are at least five references that mention raising 16 million. On just a scan I see seven out of sixteen references on two items and this jumps out as source bombing to show notability. Justification that it is not a B2C company, so not going to receive a lot of coverage, is a reason to consider notability and not an excuse to make exceptions. I make my determination on the lack of reliable independent sources and the rationale of User:Flowing dreams (what is unique that stands out from thousands of other start-ups?), User:K.e.coffman (fails WP:NORG / WP:ORGDEPTH) but I also base my decision on a logical opinion. User:HighKing almost persuaded me, but by that count there are only two sources that advance notability. I am not, nor should other editors, digress to such a low number. I have seen where it has become a community accepted standard to find at least 3 reliable, independent sources. An added 15 sources that were checked still resulted in only two that was acceptable to advance notability. This tells me we should consider the independence of sources more than industry related sources. This is an acceptable number but when I see "The articles from WSJ and a few of the business magazines are behind paywalls, which in my mind actually means they are substantial.", I cringe. That is a horrible rationale that it is there, but we can't see it unless we pay, but it "must" be substantial. Corporate money should not dictate or water-down our policies and guidelines. At the very least the discussion shows me it is too soon, and comments by User:Dmehus (I did a search) are accurate. A headcount (not how things should go) show 8 to seven with my !vote so either a slim margin to keep or the rationale for delete is persuasive to bring a closure of no consensus or maybe even delete. It is close but I think two sources out of sixteen on the article, and many listed here that fail to establish notability, should be taken into account that notability is so far lacking. Otr500 (talk) 23:46, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Ok, what I understood is that you are basically referring to the rationales I gave earlier but it has been re-listed after that. If you believe there are at least 2 sources that advance notability, then I can check again if I can find more sources. Can you please advise? Thank you. KartikeyaS343 (talk) 06:57, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Reply: Thank you for your diligence. I would welcome the occasion of not deleting articles, more so than can be imagined. If you find an additional source, that follows our sourcing guidelines towards notability, I would most certainly change my !vote and I am sure a WP:Hey would be considered. Note; Please bracket a user you are specifically addressing (KartikeyaS343). I am about to leave and just happen to check my email or would have missed this. Also, this has been opened awhile so if you are successful, and it should close, ping me for sure. We can then possibly check with other involved editor for an opinion on reopening. Here's wishing you luck, Thanks, Otr500 (talk) 14:53, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Just to add to your comment I am not, nor should other editors, digress to such a low number. Just so that you know and it has been discussed on other AfD pages, the guidelines state that there must be "multiple" references (that meet the criteria for establishing notability) and consensus on other AfD pages is that there must be at least two.

Darius Sirtautas

Darius Sirtautas (born July 14, 1970 in Šilutė, Lithuania) is a former Lithuanian professional basketball player, and basketball coach. During his playing career, he was a 6'4" (1.93m) tall shooting guard.

Playing career
Sirtautas started his professional career in Atletas Kaunas, in 1989. After a few seasons with the team, he became a team leader, and while playing alongside Saulius Štombergas and Žydrūnas Ilgauskas, managed to lead the team to the LKL Finals twice. During his last season with the team, he averaged 15 points per game. After that successful season, Lithuania national team coaches invited Sirtautas to the training camp for the upcoming EuroBasket, but he did not make it onto the final roster.

In 1995, he moved to his former rival team, Žalgiris Kaunas. He was one of the main contributors to the team, averaging more than 10 points per game, over the next three seasons, despite having to share his minutes with stars like Rimas Kurtinaitis, Darius Lukminas, and Ennis Whatley. While playing for Žalgiris, he participated in the LKL Slam Dunk Contest, and he won the slam dunk title three times in a row.

In 1998, Sirtautas moved to Slovakia, where he played with Slovakofarma Pezinok, in the FIBA Saporta Cup. He recorded 7.8 points and 1.2 steals per game in that tournament. Returning to Lithuania the following season, Sirtautas signed with Suvalkija Marijampolė. However, the team went bankrupt at the end of the season, and he was forced to look for a club elsewhere.

In 2000, he moved to China, and signed with Junan Jinan, of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). During the 2001–02 season, he played alongside fellow Lithuanians Rolandas Urkis and Martynas Purlys. In March 2002, Sirtautas moved back to Lithuania, and he finished the season with Alita Alytus.

Sirtautas played for the Estonian club Audentes Tallinn, during the 2002–03 season. In April, he once again moved back to Lithuania, and after playing two more seasons, he retired in 2005.

Coaching career
Sirtautas coached Atletas Kaunas, for the 2006–07 season. He was also the head coach of the Lithuanian Under-16 national team, which participated in the 2011 FIBA Europe Under-16 Championship. He recently coached at the Arvydas Sabonis Basketball School, and at BC Nevėžis, of the Lithuanian Basketball League.

The Book of Being

The Book of Being is a novel by Ian Watson published in 1985.

Plot summary
The Book of Being is a novel in which Yaleen dies horribly, goes insane, and then completely rewrites reality.

Reception
Dave Langford reviewed The Book of Being for White Dwarf #68, and stated that "The marathon effort of trilogy-writing is showing: for ages Watson's intellectual gearshift stays in neutral, but crashes into overdrive for the forty pages of Part Three (containing most of the plot). Strangely paced stuff from one of the few SF authors with a truly strange mind."

George Murray Ross

George Murray Ross (1852 –27 October 1927) was an Irish engineer.

Early life and education
He was born in Dublin in 1852, a son of William Ross and with an older brother also called William Ross. He was sent to Merchiston Castle School and studied engineering in Trinity College Dublin, graduating in 1873.

Career
He joined the Board of Works after graduating and later worked at his father's business before closing it down and setting up his own independent business at 61 Dawson Street.

He entered a partnership with William Kaye-Parry in 1898 or 1899. The two shared an interest in domestic sanitation.

He played a major part in the Dublin International Exhibition of 1907.

He was president of the Institution of Civil Engineers of Ireland from 1909 to 1911. He was also vice-president of the Irish Roads Congress which was in April 1910.

In early summer 1917, as part of the First World War, he went to France as senior engineer in charge of a labour battalion to construct roads and railways.

Personal life
He married his wife Alice Jane circa 1879 and they had two children. Their son George Maybin Ross (1883-1954) obtained a Bachelor of Engineering from Trinity College Dublin in 1904 and worked briefly for Kay-Parry & Ross and had a distinguished career as an engineer in India.

Death
He died suddenly at his home, Summerfield in Dalkey, on 27 October 1927.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_A_deficiency

First paragraph of the article: "Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) or hypovitaminosis A is a lack of vitamin A in blood and tissues. It is common in poorer countries but rarely seen in more developed countries. Nyctalopia (night blindness) is one of the first signs of VAD. Xerophthalmia, keratomalacia, and complete blindness can also occur since Vitamin A has a major role in phototransduction." -Copied from Vitamin A deficiency

Reasons to make contribution, and solution: -The beginning could use some more background information != "There are essentially 3 forms of vitamin A, which include: retinols, beta carotenesand carotenoids. " Causes section: "The major cause is roughage which include few animal sources of pre-formed vitamin A.[citation needed] In addition to dietary problems, there are other causes of VAD. Iron deficiency can affect vitamin A uptake. Excess alcohol consumption can deplete vitamin A, and a stressed liver may be more susceptible to vitamin A toxicity. People who consume large amounts of alcohol should seek medical advice before taking vitamin A supplements. In general, people should also seek medical advice before taking vitamin A supplements if they have any condition associated with fat malabsorption such as pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, tropical sprue and biliary obstruction. Other causes of Vitamin A deficiency are inadequate intake, fat malabsorption, or liver disorders. Deficiency impairs immunity and hematopoiesis and causes rashes and typical ocular effects (e.g., xerophthalmia, night blindness).[17]" -Copied from Vitamin A deficiency
 * There are essentially 3 forms of vitamin A: retinols, beta carotenes, and carotenoids.

Reasons to make contribution, and solution: -There is more than 3 causes, even though this is an extensive explanation of the 3 causes, there is still a bit more that should be added at the end, since most of the paragraph was used to express how people who drink a lot of alcohol, inadequately eating enough foods that have vitamin A, the malabsorption of fat and night blindness. !=other causes include: fibrosis, pancreatic insufficiency, IBD, and in people who have undergone small-bowel bypass surgery.
 * Need to mention the increased risk for people such as: vegans, refugees, and recent immigrants. These other causes include: fibrosis, sprue, pancreatic insufficiency, IBD, or cholestasis, as well as in persons who have undergone small-bowel bypass surgery.

Statistics/Testing Data/z-tests2

Indications
The Null Hypothesis should be an assumption about the difference in the population means for two populations (note that the same quantitative variable must have been measured in each population). The data should consist of two samples of quantitative data (one from each population). The samples must be obtained independently from each other.

Requirements
The samples must be drawn from populations which have known Standard Deviations (or Variances). Also, the measured variable in each population (generically denoted x1 and x2) should have a Normal Distribution.

Note that if the distributions of the variables in the populations are non-normal (or unknown), the two-sample z-test can still be used for approximate results, provided the combined sample size (sum of sample sizes) is sufficiently large. Historically, a combined sample size of at least 30 has been considered sufficiently large; reality is (of course) much more complicated, but this rule of thumb is still in use in many textbooks.

Procedure

 * The Null Hypothesis:

 * H0 : μ1 - μ2 = δ

in which δ is the supposed difference in the expected values under the null hypothesis.

 * The Alternate Hypothesis:

 * H0 : μ1 - μ2 < δ

 * H0 : μ1 - μ2 > δ

 * H0 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ δ

For more information about the Null and Alternate Hypotheses, see the page on the z test for a single mean.

 * The Test Statistic:

 * $$z=\frac{(\bar{x}_1 - \bar{x}_2) - \delta}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma _1^2}{n_1}+\frac{\sigma _2^2}{n_2}}}$$

Usually, the null hypothesis is that the population means are equal; in this case, the formula reduces to

 * $$z= \frac{\bar{x}_1 - \bar{x}_2}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma _1^2}{n_1}+\frac{\sigma _2^2}{n_2}}}$$

In the past, the calculations were simpler if the Variances (and thus the Standard Deviations) of the two populations could be assumed equal. This process is called Pooling, and many textbooks still use it, though it is falling out of practice (since computers and calculators have all but removed any computational problems).

 * $$\frac{\bar{x}_1 - \bar{x}_2}

{\sigma \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2}}} $$

 * The Significance (p-value)

Calculate the probability of observing a value of z (from a Standard Normal Distribution) using the Alternate Hypothesis to indicate the direction in which the area under the Probability Density Function is to be calculated. This is the Attained Significance, or p-value.

Note that some (older) methods first chose a Level Of Significance, which was then translated into a value of z. This made more sense (and was easier!) in the days before computers and graphics calculators.

 * Decision

The Attained Significance represents the probability of obtaining a test statistic as extreme, or more extreme, than ours—if the null hypothesis is true.

If the Attained Significance (p-value) is sufficiently low, then this indicates that our test statistic is unusual (rare)—we usually take this as evidence that the null hypothesis is in error. In this case, we reject the null hypothesis.

If the p-value is large, then this indicates that the test statistic is usual (common)—we take this as a lack of evidence against the null hypothesis. In this case, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

It is common to use 5% as the dividing line between the common and the unusual; again, reality is more complicated.

Do Professors Make More Money at Larger Universities?
Universities and colleges in the United States of America are categorized by the highest degree offered. Type IIA institutions offer a Master's Degree, and type IIB institutions offer a Baccalaureate degree. A professor, looking for a new position, wonders if the salary difference between type IIA and IIB institutions is really significant.

He finds that a random sample of 200 IIA institutions has a mean salary (for full professors) of $54,218.00, with standard deviation $8,450. A random sample of 200 IIB institutions has a mean salary (for full professors) of $46,550.00, with standard deviation $9,500 (assume that the sample standard deviations are in fact the population standard deviations).

Do these data indicate a significantly higher salary at IIA institutions?

The null hypothesis is that there is no difference; thus

 * H0 : μA = μB

(where μA is the true mean full professor salary at IIA institutions, and μB is the mean at IIB institutions)

He is looking for evidence that IIA institutions have a higher mean salary; thus the alternate hypothesis is

 * H1 : μA > μB

Since the hypotheses concern means from independent samples (we'll assume that these are independent samples), a two sample test is indicated. The samples are large, and the standard deviations are known (assumed?), so a two sample z-test is appropriate.

 * $$z=\frac{\mu _A -\mu _B}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma _A ^2}{n _A}+\frac{\sigma _B ^2}{n _B}}}=

\frac{54218-46550}{\sqrt{\frac{8450 ^2}{200}+\frac{9500 ^2}{200}}}= 8.5292$$

Now we find the area to the right of z = 8.5292 in the Standard Normal Distribution. This can be done with a table of values or software—I get 0.

If the null hypothesis is true, and there is no difference in the salaries between the two types of institutions, then the probability of obtaining samples where the mean for IIA institutions is at least $7,668 higher than the mean for IIB institutions is essentially zero. This occurs far too rarely to attribute to chance variation; it seems quite unusual. I reject the null hypothesis (at any reasonable level of significance!).

It appears that IIA schools have a significantly higher salary than IIB schools.

Example 2
A student scored 65 on a calculus test that had a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10; she scored 30 on history test with a mean of 25 and a standard deviation of 5.compare her relative position on the two tests?

Blanche Girouard

Lady Blanche Maud de la Poer Beresford Girouard (13 October 1898 – 29 September 1940) was an Irish journalist and writer. She was the eldest child of the 6th Marquess of Waterford.

Life
She was born Blanche Maud de la Poer Beresford to Henry Beresford, 6th Marquess of Waterford, and Lady Beatrix Frances Petty-FitzMaurice on 13 October 1898 in London. She grew up in Curraghmore, Portlaw, County Waterford. Girouard married Major Richard Desiré Girouard on 26 October 1927 at Westminster Cathedral. They had three children, one of whom was the historian and writer Mark Girouard. Girouard died as the result of a car accident in 1940 and is buried in Molesey Cemetery, Surrey. She made the news in 1929 when she converted to Catholicism.

Girouard wrote novels and short stories. She was also a contributor to newspapers such as The Evening News. A book of her stories and one novel were published before she died. A reviewer in Brisbane described the novel thus: "as to the manner of the writing there is only one verdict possible; It is a thing of beauty, the beauty of pure language, of poetic thought, and of idyllic Imagery". The writing style of her book of stories received similar praise.

Talk:Hoya obscura

What kind of soil does h. obscura prefer? Mine bloomed once, then stopped growing. Doolin 16:28, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Evidently, identifying hoyas can be a non-trivial task. Any information on how to best identify non-blooming hoyas would be really appreciated.

Which hoya for you?

Hoyas thrive on neglect, and will survive in fairly low light conditions. Many hoyas exhibit striking foliage, so whether the plant blooms or not, the foliage provides character to any interior scape. However, different hoyas have different growing characteristics, some of which may not be desirable. For example, some hoyas are viny, some are compact. None of the growers list these characteristics, generally only showing blooming specimens. This is not helpful to buyers trying to determine which hoya is suitable for a particular space. The following is a list of characteristics which new growers may find helpful for determining which plants are suitable:

 * Growing habit: Viny vs. compact vs. shrub like. Growing habit dictates what kind of container is best for the plant.
 * Sap color: milky vs clear, helpful for identification.
 * Leaf size: very small (2 cm) to very large (25 cm).
 * Epiphytic? Some hoyas are more epiphytic than others.
 * Fragrance: A few hoyas have obnoxious fragrance.
 * Soil conditions. Some hoyas grow on limestone ledges, some grow completely in trees.  Which are which, and how to adjust the soil for a particular species.
 * Outdoor growing zone and season. Nearly all hoyas will grow in USDA Zone 10.  Many however will at least survive winter outdoors in substantially colder zones.  For example, h. carnosa will can be grown  outdoors year around in SF Bay area with some minimal protection from frost and from direct sunlight.  Which other hoyas will survive outdoors?

It would be very nice for each hoya page to have this information listed, as well as a page that collects all this information for easy lookup. I will add as my time permits.
