Prophet's Prey

Prophet's Prey is a 2015 American documentary directed and written by Amy J. Berg. The film follows Warren Jeffs, the president of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, who is now running the religion from the confines of the Texas state prison, serving out a life sentence, for the rape of young girls. The film is an adaption of the 2011 book of the same name by Sam Brower, who also serves as a producer on the film. Ron Howard serves as an executive producer under his Imagine Entertainment banner.

The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 26, 2015. It was released in a limited release on September 18, 2015, followed by broadcast on Showtime on October 10, 2015.

Background
Berg was approached by Sam Brower and Jon Krakauer with the idea for the film. Both Brower and Krakauer are heavily featured as witnesses—the film argues they played a major role in Jeffs's capture—and the men take consulting producer and executive producer credits respectively. The two make engaging if contrasting guides through the complex story, with Krakauer coming across as the wisecracking, cerebral counterpoint to Brower's burly man-of-action.

Release
The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 26, 2015. It also screened at AFI Docs on June 18, 2015. The film was released in a limited release on September 18, 2015, followed by a broadcast on Showtime on October 10, 2015.

Critical reception
Prophet's Prey received positive reviews from film critics. It holds a 93% approval rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 27 reviews, with a weighted average of 7.00/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Prophet's Prey finds documentarian Amy Berg striking again at evil masquerading as righteousness -- and, as she did with Deliver Us from Evil, hitting her targets with impressive precision." On Metacritic, the film holds a rating of 77 out of 100, based on 15 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Awards

 * Writers Guild of America Award for Best Documentary Screenplay - Nominated

Proposed league with nothing to support a claim of notability. The only sources are from the league's creators and it's not clear if or when the league will actually exist.

I did some adapting to port this PD text to form the basis of this article and subsections of it. <IP_ADDRESS> 20:56, 25 May 2004 (UTC)

Is there maybe an option of linking to a dictionary to add the various names of plants, diseases and insects in several languages??

If so, I've got a lot to add to this (mainly biological info). Finding out the translations of all is much nicer if I can add them in a dictionary for all to see ;)

anyone, please let me know.

Convert to Wiki
Dear author. I've seen you did a lot of work in copying Bailey's (1858-1954) Manual of Gardening book into Wiki. I would suggest, you put the original title and author's name more prominently on the first page (that it is a historic book of gardening. Also, please use Wiki markup in the chapters.. for example == section == for different sections. Thanks --Andreas Ipp 23:35, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * It also needs an awful lot of updating - getting the terminology and scientific names up to date, and conversion to standard international metric measurements (in particular to get rid of that awful archaic Fahrenheit cr@p) - before it can be considered a useful item to refer to - <IP_ADDRESS> 16:44, 29 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Use this as a basis for something practical?
I think it's a good idea for Wikibooks to have a gardening manual - it's a companion to the Cookbook - but this at present isn't it.

Well done for uploading this, but I think we should try to convert it into something more practical and less historical. I mean, have you read the entry on garlic? It can only just restrain itself from calling garlic filthy foreign muck! I'm changing that, and soon. The framework is something we can use but we need to encourage work on the entries.

Redlentil 10:35, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah, that's wrong, unfortunately. We can still call garlic putrid and revolting though. That ought to do. AlbertCahalan 03:51, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

move to Garden?
That would save 3 keystrokes whenever I don't have the prefix ready to paste. "Gardening" would of course redirect to "Garden". AlbertCahalan 03:55, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

maybe start over
This is awful. We could just delete it. A fresh start would really help I think. The book has and/or suffers from:

 * needlessly complex wording
 * big meandering blatherings
 * generally obsolete tools, like horses
 * obsolete ideas, like selling your herbs to the local store
 * generally non-wiki style
 * a "completed" or "finished" feel that is uninviting for editing
 * a "personal opinion" feel that is uninviting for editing

As evidence, the book has been sitting this way for ages and is not getting fixed.

Probably this should be two separate books anyway. You can make a productive garden, or useless decorative nonsense. The two are very different. The useless decorative nonsense could go in a Landscaping book.

AlbertCahalan 04:55, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Feeling a bit daunted...
I was surprised and happy to find this book here, then saw the non-wikied problems. I'm not sure whether to work from what's here, or start over? I do think a wiki encyclopedia of garden would be nice to have on wikibooks. (Gardening "encyclopedias" are mostly how-to, so better here than on the 'pedia, perhaps (with lots of crosslinking, of course). I am opening a category for gardening... a few friends and I want to write some books on the subject. I assume these books should be new projects, not edits of this book. (Are there project pages on wikibooks? See The wikiproject on horticulture and gardening. Johnny 12:26, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

 * No, do not work from this book. See Requests for deletion/Gardening. The consensus so far is that we will move the public domain text to Wikisource, then delete this book. You can start a different horticulture and gardening book if you want. --Kernigh 15:47, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Merge, new book, etc.
Because of the odd nature of this book (seems to be mostly a transcription of an outdated text), I think it's better to work on a new one. I've made a small start with A Wikimanual of Gardening, which will need some formatting decisions (multivolume?, what goes in each volume?, etc.). Probably best to just leave this one be and use the original version as source material when appropriate. Johnny 16:10, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

There is quite a bit of detailed info on this page referring to what has happened long after BR southern region ceased to exist.

Obsolete talk page importance rating
I am not sure what era wikipedia railway editors inhabit but it is certainly not the same one as for roads. The article is about an obsolete entity at a time when railways were very rarely still built; since 1945 railway building has almost ground to a complete halt except for many short tourist lines, but those errors are poor excuse to dwell on this article as being of high current relevance to British railways. The region was not even instrumental to the building of most of these lines, it was a sort of "swansong of the heyday" stopgap name, arrangement and way of life which took nominal direct control and responsibility for making and operating many locomotives and signals still functioning today but is hardly the "without which nothing" of any main aspect of British railways. In fact as original research (probably) I bet critics have said its systemic lack of competition, innovation and automation cemented the role of drivers' and executives' unions and their top-level malaise which accelerated the decline in competitiveness of the railways altogether, coupled with government policies on roads. Those who ascribe an overstated importance of "mid" and national importance of "high" to this one-time region which was very little the perpetrator of a never fully reversible period of decline — it was one of its footnotes — are shooting the sector in the foot. When we adopt a more positive and progressive attitide these halycon ratings will change.- Adam37 Talk  19:40, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Steven Lasher

The result of the debate was DELETE. J I P | Talk 07:07, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

John Steven Lasher
Autobiographical vanity page. Girolamo Savonarola 03:46, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - IMDb has a listing for him, seems notable enough, . Though it does need some cleanup. Dismas|(talk) 03:55, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - Vote changed per Girolamo's last few points below. The first two make it sound like Girolamo wants to in some way punish Lasher and his associates for creating articles whether they are notable or not but his last few points are valid.  Dismas|(talk) 22:06, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - per Dismas, though IMDB is hardly a guarantee of notability. Needs third party sourcing for the soundtrack information, but seems notable to me. -Dawson 04:04, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote changed to Weak Delete per Girolamo Savonarola's information below. While I still think the article could potentially be salvaged, the lack of independent sources, and the degree of notability is such that it would be best served at this time by merging into the other articles cited. -Dawson 18:21, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it extremely faux pas to write a new article about yourself, notability regardless? I thought the idea was that if you truly are notable, someone else will get around to it eventually, and with better objectivity. Autobiography and Vanity guidelines, yeah? Girolamo Savonarola 04:07, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I have a listing at the IMDb too. I certainly have no intention of writing an article on myself in an encyclopedia, however. (Nor would it be notable enough.) Girolamo Savonarola 04:09, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I have a listing as well, and I while agree, the article is salvagable, ie, could very easily be taken by a serious editor and made into an article of acceptable quality. -Dawson 04:20, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Some tidyup needed, but it seems to me that this man's technical innovation marks him out (notability-wise) from other low-output directors. The self-promotion does make me tempted to swing towards deletion, but I guess I'd better set that aside. -- BrownHairedGirl 04:24, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete After reading the results of Girolamo's careful research (thanks!), I'll change my vote to delete. That's not to "punish" the author, but because the evidence no longer allows me assume as much good faith about the potential notability of the subject.  --BrownHairedGirl 00:55, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, but drop the creator a note about creating vanity pages. Hbackman 05:54, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Very weak keep. Evidence presented by Girolamo definitely weakens the case for this article, but I still feel that it's keepable. His later points are good ones, but I do object to the idea that misconduct of the article's creator means that we should definitely delete the article here, almost as a punishment (if I misinterpreted that point, please let me know). Hbackman 20:30, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak keep, seems notable enough. J I P  | Talk 09:19, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote changed to weak delete per evidence below. Note that the author's behaviour is no basis for the deletion of this article, this simply a question of John Steven Lasher's notability. J I P  | Talk 16:22, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * (very) Weak keep, seems notable enough, but only marginally. Lankiveil 11:20, 20 March 2006 (UTC).
 * Extremely weak keep. There is a vague notion of notability amongst the vanity. Jud e (talk,contribs,email) 12:03, 20 March 2006 (UTC) I was leaning towards weak delete earlier, but based on the comments made by Girolamo Savonarola, I've decided to change my vote to Delete. Jud e  (talk,contribs,email) 23:46, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep and cleanup. --Ter e nce Ong 14:26, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Changed to delete after argument below. --Ter e nce Ong 09:56, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, based on the following points:
 * 1) Very sizable percentage of user contributions are vanity edits, including all links back to this article.
 * 2) Blatant disregard for vanity guidelines as discussed on Spam (specifically under "How Not to Be a Spammer" point number one), Autobiography, and Vanity guidelines. Especially notable in the light of the fact that he already had a vanity article, Vox Melba Mastering Labs, speedily deleted for this reason and engaged in a vigorous debate with several editors wherein these policy guidelines were linked and thoroughly explained to him. Nonetheless, he has added an article about himself shortly since then.
 * Just to clarify for those who have asked above, I bring these points up merely to show that a) the user is familiar with these policies and encountered them before, and b) continues to make a substantial number of edits whose main or only purpose is to highlight himself and his work. Sure the two together are relevant? It's certainly not vandalism, but were this to continue like this substantially longer, it would. I'm concerned, is what. Girolamo Savonarola 23:49, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Non-notability in regard to the majority of the article - while I have no doubt that he facilitated the commercial availability of classic movie soundtracks, I certainly wouldn't consider such a producer any more or less notable than someone who produces, say, the budget classical music CDs for Naxos, or an assistant director who has worked on big Hollywood films for several years. Its interesting work involving other notable things and people, but co-relation with such things does not confer notability in and of itself. (Were that the case, you could argue the every name ever listed in a playbill, liner notes, or end credits of any creative work counts as a notable entry.) As for the Bernard Herrmann info, it is uncited and has a high probability of conflation as it is an autobiographical article.
 * 2) All of the Vox info relates to companies and divisions founded and run by John Lasher. A quick search on the internet confirms that he runs them in conjunction with the man responsible for his bio on his IMDb page. Furthermore, it seems as though the company was only recently started, which again smells awfully like self-promotional ad-spam. While it is marginally interesting and notable, I believe it would better be served by a brief mention and link in the phonograph cylinder article. Which Mr. Lasher has already done.
 * 3) The Kinopanorama info, similarly, is somewhat interesting, but of his work, it's been barely seen and by his own admission, only one of his three films in this format has been fully completed or screened en-masse. Again, this would be far more appropriately merged as brief mentions in the Kinopanorama article. Which, again, Mr. Lasher has already done.
 * I simply don't think that the creation of an autobiographical article is proper in any regard, nor do I think that Mr. Lasher qualifies as an encyclopedic subject at the moment. I am willing to concede the latter point, but only if someone other than Mr. Lasher or his associates feels fit to create such an article. IMHO, the case here is very cut and dry and is about vanity and disregard for the policies and guidelines. I think that Mr. Lasher does interesting work and has worked with interesting people, but this alone is hardly enough to warrant an encyclopedia article written by someone else, much less himself. Thank you. Girolamo Savonarola 15:48, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak keep as discussed above. The JPS 15:59, 20 March 2006 (UTC) Delete non-notable. Only assertion of notability can be merged into Kinopanorama. The JPS 16:18, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable, vanity. Nigelthefish 20:10, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable or, at least, not notable enough to be in an encyclopedia. Marcus22 20:49, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable. We can not keep a page for every person that exists out there.  Triage 14:26, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I hereby demand that you delete this page about me without further ado. I have read the comments by each of you and am totally disgusted by many of the comments therein. As far as I am concerned, most of you have nothing better to do than to argue amongst yourselves. Other that the moderator, who seems to have some sort of grip on each of you, none of you have any knowledge of my 32-years work in the music and film industries. Obviously none of you have purchased any one of the fifty recordings produced by me, or, for that matter, seen either of the two Kinopanorama films, one of which you deleted from Wikipedia. Lastly, to those of you who stated that IMDB is a vanity site I am sure there administrators would not take kindly to your comments. Entries at IMDB are vetted for authenticity, and only approved after an appropriate investigation is conducted. John Steven Lasher<EMAIL_ADDRESS>— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jslasher (talk • contribs)

Hbackman 23:40, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment, simple fact is, an IMDB entry is no guarantee of meeting Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Being able to back up information with reliable sources does. Assuming you actually are Mr. Lasher, I'm sure you could provide independent sourcing (ie, not written by Mr. Sefton-Parke), and a complete discography for the article, and make it potentially worth keeping, instead of throwing a tantrum. The Hotmail address does not lend much credibility, especially when IMDB and other sites have a different email address listed. -Dawson 00:01, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Electronics/Cells

Discussion of dry and wet cells is not particularly necessary for basic electronics. -maxpower

 * I agree. - Omegatron 00:31, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * so get rid of 'em completely? some useful info is left here, battery voltages, but whatever turns your crank.

 * There is some useful info. We should probably mention them and talk about them a little, along with other types of power supplies, but we don't need to explain the chemistry or describe every different battery size or talk about recharging them.  Just say that they convert the energy of chemical reactions into electricity and leave it at that.  I also think we should be talking about ideal sources in parallel and series first, and then show how a cell (or generator or opamp output or whatever) behaves like an ideal voltage source with a source impedance. - Omegatron 16:13, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * For circuits, it seems that types of (ideal) sources are more important. (Not sure if this is well covered somewhere...it could be a section on it's own, or combined with cells, or part of 'Other Components'.)  I've referred to them as independent and dependent sources, but could alternately be independent and current-controlled/voltage-controlled.  I like the simpler terminology.  Whatever the source value depends on can be called the dependence variable. - maxpower 00:32, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * I always just called them "sources" and "controlled sources", and represent them with either circles or diamonds:

 * Regular:

 * [[Image:Voltage source symbol.png]] [[Image:Current source symbol.png]]

 * Controlled:

 * [[Image:Controlled voltage source symbol.png]] [[Image:Controlled current source symbol.png]]

 * "Independent" is better than "regular", though.

 * - Omegatron 14:26, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

A indication of how long each cell will last for would be nice. In charge but preferably in Ampere hours. That is if the cell is rated 1Ah then it can deliver one ampere for one hour or 0.5 amperes for 2 hours.

The Nosebleed Section

"The Nosebleed Section" is a song by the Australian hip hop music group Hilltop Hoods. It was released as a radio single in 2003, and was the final single release from their 2003 album The Calling. The chorus and backing beat of "The Nosebleed Section" are sampled from the song "People in the Front Row" written and sung by Melanie Safka from her 1972 album Garden in the City. Furthermore, the lyric “This life turned out nothing like I had planned” Is an interpolation of Australian rock band Powderfinger’s 1999 song “These Days”.

The lyrics of the song deal with upbeat themes of parties, concerts, good times and living the high life involved in an MC's career. Matt Lambert (MC Suffa) said, "That was definitely a turning point for us. When Triple J started playing it, that was our break. We started getting a lot of festival gigs, show offers, stuff like that."

The song placed at number 9 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2003.

In 2009, it was voted Number 17 in the Hottest 100 of All Time, and in 2013 it was voted Number 4 in the Hottest 100 of the Past 20 Years, making it the highest-placed Australian song and the highest-placed hip-hop song in both countdowns as well as the highest-placed song from the 21st century in the former despite never being released as a physical single.

The song appeared on the Channel 9 police drama Stingers.

Sampling
Suffa found a copy of Melanie's Garden in the City album at a thrift store in South Australia. "What attracted me to it was it was 50 cents and I'd never heard of it before," he said. The group initially sampled Melanie's song without permission. "We didn't clear it because we didn't know it was going to be a thing. Then we tried to clear it and it turned out her publishing had been sold several times and there were fights over who owned it. Then we finally got it cleared maybe a decade later."

Suffa eventually met Melanie when she toured Australia in 2014. "She actually invited me to come down, which was lovely. She played the song, I'm not sure if she always played the song [in her setlist]. In Australia she'd be more inclined to play it. She played it and I got a shout-out, she called me cheeky for sampling it without clearing it. I met her backstage and she was lovely," he reminisced after her passing in 2024.

Efstratios Pelekidis

Efstratios (Stratis) Pelekidis (Ευστράτιος Πελεκίδης, 1880 or 1882-1958) was a Greek archaeologist and university teacher.

Biography
He was born in 1880 or 1882 in Dikili of Asia Minor and studied archaeology initially in the University of Athens and later in Germany thanks to a grant from the Archaeological Society of Athens. He has served as a regent of antiquities found in the Macedonian region since 1914 and served as a teacher at the Mytilene Gymnasium, the Evangelical School of Smyrna and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki where he taught the study of epigraphy.

As an archaeologist he collaborated during World War I with the archaeological service of the British army based in Thessaloniki and excavated in Paleo Faliro, where in 1915 he found skeletons of victims who had been buried, in Amphipolis, where in 1920 he excavated a Basilica and found a building of the Early Christian period, in Edessa during the period 1922-1923, in Chalkidiki and others.

He has also published several archaeological studies in journals and magazines such as the Archaeological Bulletin (Αρχαιολογικόν Δελτίον), the Proceedings of the Athens Archaeological Society (Πρακτικά της εν Aθήναις Aρχαιολογικής Eταιρείας) and others. According to the official website of the Greek Masonic Arcade, Pelekidis was also a mason. He died in 1958.

Introduction to Philosophy/What is Buddhist Philosophy?

Introduction
The Buddha expressed his philosophy when he said: "I teach only two things, O disciples, the nature of suffering and the cessation of suffering."

The Buddha taught the famous "Four Noble Truths" and "Eightfold Path," which allows people to achieve enlightenment. Enlightenment (nirvana, awakening, realization, satori) is the cessation of suffering, freedom from conditioned existence (samsara). The Buddha taught that every action has a consequence; things are because of previous conditions. If one practices the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, then one will no longer be subject to the cycle of existence samsara.

"My teaching is not a philosophy. It is the result of direct experience...

My teaching is a means of practice, not something to hold onto or worship.

My teaching is like a raft used to cross the river.

Only a fool would carry the raft around after he had already reached the other shore of liberation."

To his favourite disciple, Ananda, the Buddha once said (from: Old Path, White Clouds by Thich Nhat Hanh):

Three Marks of Existence

 * 1) Annica - Everything is subject to change.
 * 2) Dukkha - All pervasive unsatisfactoriness.
 * 3) Anatta - Everything is empty of a separate self.

Four Noble Truths

 * 1) Dukkha  - Life is unsatisfactory, disjointed, suffering.
 * 2) Samudaya - There is a cause of suffering, which is attachment or desire (tanha).
 * 3) Nirodha - There is a cessation of suffering, which is to eliminate attachment and desire.
 * 4) Marga   - The path that leads out of suffering is called the Noble Eightfold Path.

The Buddha taught that in order to realize enlightenment, man must free himself from his ego, and give up all desires. He taught that by having so many desires (such as wanting pleasure, wealth, happiness, security, success, long life, etc.), man subjects himself to suffering, and will never escape the cycle of rebirths.

Therefore Buddhism believes that suffering is self-created.

Wisdom - Prajna

"And what, monks, is right understanding? Knowledge with regard to dukkha, knowledge with regard to the origination of dukkha, knowledge with regard to the stopping of dukkha, knowledge with regard to the way of practice leading to the stopping of dukkha: This, monks, is called right understanding.

2. Right Thought (or Right Intention, or Right Resolve)

"And what is right thought? Being resolved on renunciation, on freedom from ill will, on harmlessness: This is called right thought.

Morality - Sila

6. Right Effort (or Right Endeavour)

"And what, monks, is right effort? (i) There is the case where a monk generates desire, clout, endeavors, activates persistence, upholds & exerts his intent for the sake of the non-arising of evil, unskillful qualities that have not yet arisen. (ii) He generates desire, endeavors, activates persistence, upholds & exerts his intent for the sake of the abandonment of evil, unskillful qualities that have arisen.

(i) There is the case where a monk remains focused on the body in & of itself -- ardent, aware, & mindful -- putting away greed & distress with reference to the world. (ii) He remains focused on feelings in & of themselves -- ardent, aware, & mindful -- putting away greed & distress with reference to the world. (iii) He remains focused on the mind in & of itself -- ardent, aware, & mindful -- putting away greed & distress with reference to the world. (iv) He remains focused on mental qualities in & of themselves -- ardent, aware, & mindful -- putting away greed & distress with reference to the world. This, monks, is called right mindfulness.

8. Right Concentration

"And what, monks, is right concentration? (i) There is the case where a monk -- quite withdrawn from sensuality, withdrawn from unskillful (mental) qualities -- enters & remains in the first jhana: rapture & pleasure born from withdrawal, accompanied by directed thought & evaluation. (ii) With the stilling of directed thought & evaluation, he enters & remains in the second jhana: rapture & pleasure born of concentration, one-pointedness of awareness free from directed thought & evaluation -- internal assurance. (iii) With the fading of rapture, he remains in equanimity, mindful & fully aware, and physically sensitive of pleasure. He enters & remains in the third jhana, of which the Noble Ones declare, 'Equanimous & mindful, he has a pleasurable abiding.' (iv) With the abandoning of pleasure & pain -- as with the earlier disappearance of elation & distress -- he enters & remains in the fourth jhana: purity of equanimity & mindfulness, neither pleasure nor pain. This, monks, is called right concentration."

Buddhism's world view
The Buddha taught that beings were born into their position because of past karma. He taught that there were six realms of existence: hell, insatiable-spirit, animal, fighting-spirits, human, and heavenly-being. A human birth was most desired because you have the best chance of enlightenment.
