Hennion two-seater

The Hennion was a two-seat French training and touring aircraft, completed just before World War II began. It was flown again post-war and later fitted with a new engine; it survived into the early 1960s.

Design and development
Emile Hennion was the chief pilot at the Casablanca Aero Club in the 1930s. Just before the outbreak of World War II he designed, built and flew a side-by-side seat two seat aircraft, powered by a Train 4A 01 inverted four cylinder air-cooled engine which produced only 40 hp. His goals were safety in the hands of a beginner, economy, comfort and true touring ability. The first two features made it of some interest as an ab initio trainer after France had gone to war.

In this pre-war form it was known as the Hennion 01. It was a low wing, cantilever monoplane, its wings straight tapered with blunt tips and of quite high aspect ratio (10). The wings were built around a single spar and fabric covered, though the ailerons were plywood skinned.

The fuselage was flat sided and ply skinned, except behind the cockpit where rounded, raised decking was fabric covered. The Hennion's cockpit was fully enclosed under a two piece canopy with a sliding rear component. Its two seats were equipped with dual controls. Behind them there were luggage and light baggage/chart spaces, respectively 900 × and 900 ×. The inverted Train engine in the nose drove a two blade propeller and its fuel tank held 85 L. At the rear the vertical tail was tall, with an unbalanced rudder which reached down to the keel and a fuselage mounted tailplane ahead of it. The Hennion had a tail wheel undercarriage with a track of 2.20 m, its spatted main wheels on vertical, streamlined legs. The Hennion 01 flew for the first time on 28 September 1939 at Casablanca. Despite the low power, it had a maximum speed of 150 km/h and cruised at 125 - 130 km/h. Cruising, it used about 10 L per hour, giving it a range around 1000 km. Landing speed was 45 km/h.

The Hennion 01 survived the war and was flown again in 1949, now on the French civil register as F-WFOY. After a period of disuse, it was re-engined in 1956 with a 65 hp Continental A65 air-cooled flat-four in a revised nose and redesignated the Hennion II. The extra power gave a useful increase in speed despite an increase in empty weight of about 17%. On 4 February 1962 it was destroyed at Meknes.

Variants

 * Hennion 01: pre-war version with Train engine
 * Hennion II: 1956 revision with a more powerful Continental engine

As noted in WP:SELFPUBLISH, self-published books aren't considered WP:Reliable sources on Wikipedia, so we'll need to either find additional sources or remove the assertions that are only referenced by that book.

Center for Human Reproduction

The Center for Human Reproduction (CHR) is a fertility center located in New York City. It was founded by the obstetrician-gynecologist Norbert Gleicher in 1981.

Creation and decade of 1980s
Norbert Gleicher, an obstetrician-gynecologist born in Kraków, moved to the United States to complete his fellowship in immunology in New York City and to develop his residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Chicago. After holding positions as assistant professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and division director of the division of Reproductive Immunology at the medical center, he founded the Center for Human Reproduction in Chicago in 1981, established as the first IVF center in the Midwest. In 1983, the center performed the worlds's first trans-vaginal egg retrieval. Five years later a manuscript was published reporting the world's first trans-vaginal tubal catheterization to open occluded fallopian tubes.

1990s: New York City opening
With the growth of the center in Chicago, a new headquarters was opened in New York City. In 1997, the center reached an agreement with Columbia University to staff CHR NY as university's IVF program. One year later, CHR NY opened at 635 Madison Avenue including in its staff the American physician Mark V. Sauer, who was then Head of the Reproductive Endocrinology Division at Columbia. Sauer became the center's Medical Director and Dr. Andrea Vidali, also from Columbia University's division of reproductive endocrinology, was included in CHR's team of professionals. By the end of 1999, Gleicher was in charge of both centers in Chicago and New York City, splitting his time each week between the two cities.

New millennium and present
In 2000, 21 E 69th Street location was purchased as the new site of CHR in New York City. This location was opened on September 10, 2001, the night before the September 11 attacks. In 2003, Gleicher sold the Chicago operations to Reproductive Genetics Institute with a one-year transition period, and moved full-time back to New York City. That same year, David H. Barad, MD, MS, previously Head of Reproductive Endocrinology/IVF Division at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, joined the center as Clinical Director of Assisted Reproductive Technologies. With the inclusion of Barad, the center's research focus on ovarian aging tightened.

In 2005, CHR published the first manuscript on the use of DHEA supplementation for female fertility in Fertility & Sterility international journal. CHR published in 2008 the first manuscript about the danger of preimplantation genetic screening after performing some analyses that proved the low effectiveness of this procedure in improving the chances of pregnancy in IVF.

Around 2010, the center started a research collaboration with Dr. Aritro Sen's laboratory at the University of Rochester Medical Center. This collaboration resulted in several publications related to the crucial role androgen play in female fertility. Three years later, the center published the first report of IVF success rate manipulation, leading to CDC and SART to update report guidelines to close a loophole. In 2015, CHR established "What's My Fertility", an online risk screening tool for young women to detect risk of developing premature ovarian aging (POA) and associated infertility later in life.

In 2017, the center reported the oldest pregnancy and live birth in an almost 48-year-old woman, after an IVF procedure with her own eggs. In 2018 and 2019, the CHR website won the Leadership Award in Best Healthcare Content, in Medical Practice/Outpatient Facility category. During the COVID-19 outbreak in New York City in 2020, the center remained open for urgent fertility treatments.

Guide to Social Activity/Body Language

Interpersonal Body Language
Women on average are better at body language than men; it could even be said to be an innate knowledge. Thus, understanding body language is of great importance if you want to approach attractive women.

It's up to men to decipher the implied meanings of their actions, but sadly, most men are generally lacking in this area.

The consequence would be this: a man feeling that everything is going perfectly -- until the woman suddenly leaves him.

When you meet a woman who interests you, one of the first things you should do is to observe the way she carries herself; the way she moves, stands, makes conversation with others, dilated pupils, shiny eyes, so on and so forth.

Your own body language
List of things to consider:
 * Eye contact
 * Eyebrows
 * Smiling
 * Avoiding movement during a sitting interaction
 * Hands
 * Feet tend to point out their direction, so it's important that this language be conciliatory.
 * Look forward and at one direction.
 * Do not wiggle or jerk around.
 * Maintain symmetry. If one side of the body does not match the other, that suggests that you only have half interest in the other person, that you are distracted with something else and not saying why.
 * One suggestion is to look natural, which means to not think about this list.

If you stay in one place, then you can let the other person or persons find a comfortable distance from you. Continue to stay in one place while talking with the other person. If leaving the person, leave discretely, before the other person becomes completely disinterested with you.

Good posture potentially improves your confidence and the impression you make. Sit and stand straight, keep your shoulders back and your chest up. If you avoid reacting to your own humorous remarks, the other persons might react more.

Do not change the angle of your body. That is, if the other person approached you first, and your body does not face the body of the other person, then do not reorient yourself. If you must reorient yourself, leave and return. It is best to show other persons that you are stable and consistent.

Body language of other person
The meaning of some of the body language in this list has not yet been documented here.

 * licking lips
 * maintaining eye contact
 * looking at you "from below" (persons might be trying to exaggerate the height difference between you)
 * playing with hair
 * touching your upper arm

In a social setting, try comparing the other person's body language with a third person with its interactions with you.

The "personal space" test consists of moving a little bit closer to another person at a social setting so that you are standing close and reducing the size of the space around another person. A person less interested in you will attempt to move away.

People instinctively raise their eyebrows when they meet interesting people. Use this to attempt to measure the interest that other people have with you. Interested or excited people will also have shiny eyes. The eyes have a tiny gland on the bottom of the eyelid secreting liquids such as tears and lubrication. When a person is interested or excited, the glands tend to secrete liquid thus giving the eyes the shiny appearance. Maintaining eye contact shows a person's confidence level.

Closed versus Open
Some persons form a barrier: arms crossed, legs crossed, or holding an object in front of themselves. Their body is closed. It is better to seek persons who have arms apart, legs uncrossed, and are facing in your direction; their body is open.

As an exception, if two persons like themselves well, then they might close their bodies while standing or sitting opposite each other. These persons are acting open; their bodies are only closed because they are closed to themselves.

Leaning Forward versus Away
When sitting at a table, persons can either lean forward or away. If you lean forward, then you are more visible to other persons at the table; it is easier to converse with other persons who lean forward.

When comfort and trust have not yet been secured, leaning forward can be taken subconsciously as a sign of hostility. This can be used to subconsciously manipulate or train the other person's actions to your liking.

In contrast, leaning backward, away from the table, is a sign of disinterest. However, a person that leans backward but has their body open might simply be relaxing. Try using some jokes or humor to gain the interest of this person so that they begin leaning forward.

Therefore, if you want to invite someone home, or plan another social meeting with them, suggest making the invitation when the other person or persons are leaning forward with open bodies. Invite the person to meet with you for coffee or some other beverage, or tell them to write their telephone number, even if they must write it with your pen on your arm.

Rapport
Rapport is the technique of mimicking the body language of the other person. If your body language mirrors the body language of other persons in the conversation, then you are implementing rapport. For example:

 * If you are approaching a sitting person, you sit too.
 * If the body of the other person is closed, avoid being open; that would seem intrusive.

Other persons sometimes check if you mirror their body language, and have more interest in persons with rapport. For the converse, you can check if the other person mirrors you.

Definitions
Binocular Disparity

The difference between the two retinal images of an object. Because the right and the left eye are at slightly different positions from each other, they have to turn inwards in order to keep focus on an object as it approaches closer. The closer the object the more the eyes turn inwards. A listener can tell how alert the other person is by the angle or the eyes turning inwards. Binocular Disparity is what allows us to have three dimensional vision.

While talking to a person, subconsciously one can tell if the other person is paying attention. The more a listener focuses their vision on the speaker, the more the eyes turn inwards. A listener whose eyes are both turned straight forward reveals that he's not paying attention. Even though there is eye contact, the eyes should be turned in slightly in order to focus on the speaker.

Binocular Disparity can be used to subconsciously communicate relaxation or aggression. By focusing the eyes on a dot on the other person's face, one is perceived to be alert. Maintaining focus on the dot for longer time would make the person appear as aggressive or even angry such as zeroing in on a target.

On the contrary, looking at the whole face of the other person, and unfocusing the eyes, makes one come across as relaxed and friendly or even easy going. Unfocusing the eyes can be used as an aid in argument resolution. The decreased angle of the eyes turning inward makes one look as having relaxed. As a result, the other person sees a relaxed look of the eyes and tends to relax himself.

See Also: Pupil Dilation, Shining Eyes

Cut Off / Facing Away

A form of gaze avoidance or intrusion avoidance in which the head or the whole body is turned fully away to one side.

A sudden cut-off gesture in conversation may indicate uncertainty or disagreement with a speaker's remarks. Sustained cut-off may reveal shyness or disliking.

A cut off is a form of angular distance. People also turn away as a form of being considerate and giving the other person space in a setting where moving away physically is impractical. During an intermission, the candidates in a debate would respectfully turn away, so as to give each other room to breathe.

In salesmanship, looking suddenly up and to the side is a signal of the prospects skepticism. The sales agent themselves could turn their head or the whole body to the side to make their presence less pushy to the prospect. While walking away discourages prospects because of the retreating nature, the cut off can be used as a substitute for angular distance.

Facing away is a reaction to spatial invasion either one's own of the other persons. After the host and the various guests embrace, they back off and one or both always look away as an equilibrium-maintaining technique to re-establish a proper level of proximity.

Males and people of greater physical size turn their heads away to the side more than do females and people of smaller stature who in turn find it more comfortable and easier to create distance by walking.

Both gaze aversion and torso rotation increase dramatically in conditions of crowding.

Dancing as a Seduction Tool

Dancing is one of those things that can either greatly enhance or totally destroy your chances to score depend on how good you are at it. Many guys would actually be better off just standing around trying to look cool, if the alternative is dancing badly. Women treat dancing as a form of "safe sex" (a fun, sensual activity without any of the risks or downsides of actual sex), and a guy's ability to close-contact dance with women is often viewed by them as an indicator of sexual ability.

There's a certain breed of guy called "the dance partner". This guy likes to hang out all night in clubs, dance for hour after hour with many women, and go home with none of them. He might either be gay, or simply have no idea on how to translate the dancing into sex. Or simply like dancing.

A famous receiver for the Oakland Raiders named Fred Biletnikoff used to say that "if you can put your hands on a pass, you should be able to catch it. If you have a woman in your arms, you should be able to get her into your bed. Dancing is an excellent way to get her into your arms. If she is with a group of girls, ask everyone at the table to dance one by one and work over to the one you want. If they are sitting there drinking and talking, watching the dance floor and keeping time to the music, they are ready to dance. Go ask, if they say no, laugh and have your comeback line ready. I have had girls that said no come back to me and want to know why I didn't ask them again. Usually those are the one's that go home with you too. I would say that 9 1/2 out of ten girls I ask to dance, go out on the floor with me. Energize them, then let things flow. Firm but gentle works most of the time."

Ears, Right Ear vs. Left Ear

If you're stuck chatting up a "mumbler" (someone who will mumble their words instead of speaking clearly) at a cocktail party, lean in with your right ear. It's better than your left at following the rapid rhythms of speech, according to researchers at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine. If, on the other hand, you're trying to identify a song playing softly in the elevator, turn your left ear toward the sound. The left ear is better at picking up music tones.

Eyebrow Raise

The tendency for people to raise their eyebrows as one approaches them face-to-face is usually indicative of esteem. If you walk down the street and encounter someone you don't know then the chances are that neither of you will raise your eyebrows. If you recognize each other, however, even if you do not greet each another, then eyebrows will likely raise and lower. Of particular interest here in a business-place context is that if one person is not rated highly by the other person then that person will not raise their eyebrows, even though they acknowledge the presence of the first person.

While meeting a person, briefly raise and lower the eyebrows to communicate greetings as the person enters your scope of vision. When accompanied by a slight backwards head tilt, the greeting gesture can be made to come across as very sincere and genuine. Both the zygomatic smile and the eyebrow movement are very popular body language tools used by sales people and politicians.

Hugging (Rocking)

Primate holding in the arms, a natural mothering response, is met with clinging, an infantile sign of needing to be mothered. Thus, embracing is the evolutionary correct way to say "I love you," and the proper primate way to say "I need you" as well. As humans embrace, a gentle rocking motion from side to side occurs. Swaying, a positive sign, stimulates pleasure centers linked to the inner ear's vestibular sense. Not only do we rock babies, but also the adults we love.

Kinesics

The importance of body language is recognized worldwide - there will not be a training for sales people and management in which the study of body language is absent, for instance. In 1970 Julius Fast wrote his famous book "Body Language." In it he writes about the study of the language of the body and called it: kinesica. More recent developed theories on human functioning have given life to Neuro Linguistic Programming. NLP uses body language as its main source of information to tell more about the way we operate as people, by ourselves or when we are together. For instance, we adjust our body position all the time to our environment when we are in company or in a public place. It has been researched that we have a higher success rate of getting our message across to another when we take on a similar position as him/her. Unconsciously we copy the others movements like crossing and uncrossing legs, turning our bodies this way or that. In NLP this process is called mirroring and could also be referred to as building rapport.

Love Signals

A great deal of our nonverbal communication bespeaks sexuality. Despite speech, courtship is best transacted in an unspoken medium through, e.g., lip-pouts, head-tilts, and shoulder-shrugs. Verbally saying "I love you" before showing love nonverbally in gesture, posture, and deed is apt to scare a partner away.

The lesson here? Don't tell a girl "I love you" too soon. Instead use body language gestures and nonverbal communication to show your feelings of interests. If you tell her your feelings, but you're too nervous and your body language in not in tune, she might perceive your verbal speech as insincere. First try to use non verbal signals. See also Rapport and Mirroring.

Masculinity

"Keep shoulders broad but posture not *too* straight; keep eye contact; look other men in the eye and don't do the "down & away"; don't cover face unless you are acting mischievous; slow movements; deep tonality; move from either the hips or the shoulders (generally); broad arm movements; move with a sense that you occupy a great deal of space -- that you have a large domain or territory; make your eyes expressive of emotion and not of excitement; learn to really dance (waltz, salsa, samba, flamenco, etc.) and this'll become second nature." alt.seduction.fast

Right Brain vs. Left Brain

This theory of the structure and functions of the mind suggests that the two different sides of the brain control two different "modes" of thinking.

Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:

Left Brain:

Logical

Sequential

Rational

Analytical

Objective

Looks at parts

Right Brain: Random

Intuitive

Holistic

Synthesizing

Subjective

Looks at wholes

Some individuals have a distinct preference for one of these styles of thinking. Some, are more whole-brained and equally adept at both modes. In general, academia tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain ones. Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity.

Pacing and Leading

Pacing and leading is one of the keys to influencing people. It refers to meeting them at their map of the world (pacing) and then taking them where you want them to go (leading.) Rapport is a basic, behavioural signal that you have met someone at their map of the world. The simplest, most effective test for rapport is "if you lead, they follow."

2) Choose a safe situation to practise mirroring an element of someone else's behaviour. When you have mirrored them for a while, and think you are in rapport with the person, scratch your nose. If they lift their hand to their face within the next minute or so, congratulate yourself: you have led their behaviour!

Skilled communicators have a wide range of behaviours they can mirror to build rapport. You can find a way to mirror virtually anything you can observe.

3) Increase the range of behaviours that you can mirror, and introduce deliberate rapport-building into situations where it will benefit you and others (nb. Use your common sense and choose low-risk situations to practice in.)

Note: It is possible to get rapport without pacing by being outrageous and/or dynamic in a way that drawn in the audience and catches their attention.

See Also: Mirroring, Rapport

Pupil Dilation

The dilation of the pupils is an increase in the diameter of the pupils as they get bigger to take in more light as it gets darker. Dilating pupils is also indicative of interest. One can subconsciously tell if the other person is eager to see them by the size of the pupils in the other persons eyes. When the pupils are large in normal lighting conditions, the persons eagerness and alert perception is noticed. A person with fake interest would be smiling and showing positive gestures, but their pupils would remain small, thus giving the person away.

Pupil Dilation combined with Shining Eyes and Binocular Disparity could be used in communicating enthusiasm and warmth towards the subject.

Push Pull Technique

In the song Yellow by Coldplay, Chris Martin demonstrates using body language a Push Pull example.

"Because I love you so". Stops, looks back, turns around, gives you a chance to leave, gives you space. Then when he sees that you really do want him, you would wait for him and you in the camera are there slowing down to stay with him. The camera was moving gradually along the beach and he was walking forward along the beach. Both he and the camera were together, that is how we could see him, and now that he slows down, we see that we are slowing down for him. But he doesn't make us, the audience wait, he is the one who comes back. The camera is staying there, looking at him and he comes back, tight after he looks around first: Push, Pull.

Make your move, then if the girl's not going for it by saying yes right away, just give some space. If she waits for you to come back; she's yours.

Reconnaissance

Upon re-entering our home (after several hours of absence), we feel a peculiar need to wander about the space to "check" for intruders. In mammals, this behavior is known as reconnaissance: ". . . in which the animal moves round its range in a fully alerted manner so that all its sense organs are used as much as possible, resulting in maximal exposure to stimuli from the environment. It thus 'refreshes its memory' and keeps a check on everything in its area. This is a regular activity in an already familiar environment, which does not require the stimulus of a strange object.

Shining Eyes

The eyes have a tiny gland on the bottom of the eyelid secreting liquids such as tears for use as lubrication. When a person is interested or excited, the glands tend to secrete liquid thus giving the eyes a shiny appearance.

During courtship, shining eyes are used extensively to indicate a sign or attraction in the other person. When describing a guy, the girl might say "there was something in his eyes." "The lover's eyes" is another term used to mark their characteristic appearance.

In practice, it is very hard to have shining eyes without having genuine intentions, therefore there is the belief that people can tell one another's motives subconsciously through face to face interaction.

Shining Eyes combined with Pupil Dilation and Binocular Disparity subconsciously communicate enthusiasm and warmth towards the subject.

Symmetry

The body plans of most animals, including humans, exhibit mirror symmetry, also called bilateral symmetry. They are symmetric about a plane running from head to tail (or toe).

Bilateral symmetry is so prevalent in the animal kingdom that many scientists think that it can't be a coincidence. After all, there are infinitely more ways to construct an asymmetrical body than a symmetrical one. And yet, fossilized evidence shows that bilateral symmetry had already taken hold in animals as early as 500 million years ago.

Therefore, bilateral symmetry must have evolved for a reason, the thinking goes. And over the years, scientists have come up with a number of hypotheses about what that reason might be. According to one, a body that is bilaterally symmetrical is easier for the brain to recognize while in different orientations and positions, thus making visual perception easier.

Another popular hypothesis is that symmetry evolved to help with mate selection. Experiments with birds and insects revealed that females prefer to mate with males possessing the most symmetrical sexual ornaments. Peahens, for example, prefer peacocks with more extravagant and symmetrical tails, and female barn swallows prefer males with long, symmetrical tail feathers.

Human experiments also show similar patterns.

Experiments have found that women are more attracted to men who have features that are more symmetrical than other men. One study even found that women have more orgasms during sex with men who were more symmetrical, regardless of their level of romantic attachment or the guys' sexual experience.

The connection between body symmetry and mate selection began to make sense when researchers started finding correlations between symmetry and health. One study found that men with asymmetric faces tend to suffer more from depression, anxiety, headaches and even stomach problems. Women with facial asymmetry are less healthy and more prone to emotional instability and depression.

Another study found that the more asymmetric a person's body was, the more likely they were to show signs of aggression when provoked.

Symmetry is also prevalent in the physical sciences and is woven into the very laws that govern our universe.

Tapping

Tapping is a defensive gesture or a warning sign for a person not to come any closer. It doesn't necessarily mean that one wants the other person to leave, unless the tapping becomes very loud and even audible from a distance, which is then the area from which the person doing the tapping wants the people around them to clear.

It is not an aggressive signal, but that of mainly wanting to hold things off, not come any close, keep things the way they are. The auditory effect of the tapping also has the verbal effect of not wanting to be disturber with conversation. The sound itself is meant to block of other sound as another person might try to speak and has a psychological effect of distracting the brains auditory cortex. It's like turning on the radio to distract oneself from noisy neighbors arguing across the hall, or pretending to be listening to a walkman when someone is trying to start a conversation.

Tapping in a physical sense also serves to designate one's territory. In a classroom setting or an office environment, one might tap their pencil against the side of the table meaning that he/she's busy so that nobody sits next to them in order to maintain the concentration.

Tense Eyes

The eyes themselves don't tense as much as the eye lids around them and in tense situation, more particularly the lower eye lids. The eye lids close in around the eyes limiting their vision and in effect having an expression of zeroing in or targeting someone. When the eye lids are smaller it's hard to see the surrounding area, so the person has one location in their scope of vision in mind. It is the opposite of open body language and a sign of closed body language. In open body language a person is friendly willing and receptive. When the eyes are smaller, they are showing that they are not receptive. They are focused on one particular area of importance usually because it is perceived as a threat or a source of trouble.

The eyes can also be tense sometimes when a person is concentrating on a task, such as reading an important document, or working on an assignment, however, when dealing with personal interaction, tense eyes are very specifically associated with unfriendliness or hostility. Tensing of the eyelids could also help one so see better as the tension helps in the shaping of the eyes to focus. When a person is working on a task and not involved in a social setting, tense eyes would indeed be a method for the person to focus better. In a social setting people have adapted to use tense eyes as a means of communicating suspicion or wariness, particularly of an intellectual basis as opposed to emotional or personal.

A tense or unfriendly expression in the eyes is a sign that the person is disliking something that is something analytical or of technical nature. For instance when one's wife has tense eyes it could mean that she doesn't trust her husband in something like doing the bills or renovating the house. It doesn't mean that she's suspecting him of having an affair or believes he's forming an emotional attachment with another woman. The eyes mainly reveal thought processes and not matters of the hearth, unless a person evaluates their personal relationships on an analytical level, which is rarely so.

Tense Mouth

Tense mouth is indicative of hostility or disagreement. It is closely related to the usage of the lower teeth which are associated with unfriendliness. It is an attempt to hide or not show off the lower teeth or make an offensive gesture with the mouth while in conversation with someone not particularly liked.

A tense mouth is visible through flattening and thinning of the lips. As opposed to full lips, the person is subconsciously tensing their lips in effect making them seem smaller and less visible. The lips are a very friendly and encouraging part of the face. When a person doesn't like someone, they inevitably find it hard to show their lips as a way of saying that they are not happy and they are not inviting. At the same time the person is trying not to show off their lower teeth too much, although this might happen, as this could be a very offensive and at times inappropriate display of facial expression.

The opposite of a tense mouth would be the lower lip protrusion, plumping lips (as in flirting), showing upper teeth and in effect smiling.

Through Look

Psychological technique to get oneself unattached to a particular person by not avoiding them in the field of vision, and at the same time to slowing down to make eye contact, so as to be uninfluenced. Used very often by public speakers. Public speakers are trained to make eye contact, to scan the room and at the same time not fixate on any one particular person or area. The purpose is to give everyone recognition and a chance to speak up, if a member of the audience has a question, but not to be otherwise distracted by any one particular person or object.

Touch (First Touch)

The first touch—a milestone in courtship—is likely to seem casual, unpremeditated, and "accidental" rather than serious. An eager hand reaches out to a neutral body part (a forearm or shoulder, e.g.) which reacts by accepting the contact or by pulling away. Sensitive pads of our fingertips used as tactile antennae gauge the slightest startle, tenseness, or hesitation of response.

Negative replies include angling away, leaning away, and no reaction.

Positive responses include

 * lifting the shoulders, shoulder shrug
 * sideward head-tilt, and
 * returning the touch with a touch.

Thus, partners learn a great deal from the first manual contact, which deftly probes beneath spoken words to feelings. Touching another's body captures full attention, and is the evolutionary true test of where a partner stands.

Touching

Research shows: "Wives under stress are soothed by husbands' touch."

Casual touching is one of the most powerful attraction triggers. The soothing effect of the touch could be seen in MRI scans of areas deep in the brain that are involved in registering emotional and physical alarm.

The 'touch' most commonly referred to is hand holding. There are other important reasons for holding her hand, but as this research confirms, it has an INSTANT soothing affect.

It is believed that casual touching, and hand holding in particular has a massive effect on success in long term relationships.

Researcher notes that this effect is many times more powerful with married couples, but even a complete stranger STILL had an effect on the woman's brain. It is possible for a total stranger, can trigger a soothing effect on any woman, DEEP in her subconscious mind, simply through the use of a simple touch.

Verbal Plumage - The lip sinking that is attractive in men and unattractive in women

Verbal Plumage is quite simply using exaggerated facial expressions and lips and mouth movement to talk with the face. We all move our lips and faces when we talk to deliver the sound. Verbal plumage is just that same facial behaviors to a greater volume especially when saying pleasant, soft or deep sounds. What ever kind of movement you make with your mouth and lips when you say words like "you", "on", "feel", "between", "inside", "deep", "always", "forever", "no other" etc. Girls like those words. They are just words to us guys, but to them they have special significance when we say it. The word "special" is another word.

When you say those words exaggerate the lip movement part of the word as if it has special significance for you too. Girls love that. They feel special when they hear those words, and you adding verbal plumage to it makes the word that much more profound as if you really mean it.

Verbal plumage doesn't have to be any particular words. Verbal plumage on its own is simply talking with the face by definition. To use it in the context of seduction would be to increase verbal plumage at particular words and phrases that have deep meaning and feeling attached to them.

Imagine you are talking to a deaf persona and you are trying to make your self understood. Imagine the extra kind of lip sinking you would do to express yourself. Do just that, but only do it with the right words when you are saying words that are pleasant to girls when they hear them. Here are some more words that girls like when you say them:

intention true reality no choice I want appreciation sincere trust come on yes

In comparison, words like: call, go out, maybe, I don't know, no, number, meet etc. Girls don't like those words. They hear them all the time when guys try to hit on them and get their digits. Say less of those words, and when you do use them you are a ventriloquist at the time.

Girls are already very expressive and feeling when they talk. It's not attractive in a woman to use verbal plumage because that makes her even more touchy feely clingy when she talks. But in a guy, it makes him come by as caring and in touch with his feelings when talking to women.

Voice Training

Right before you call stand up and hum a little bit at a moderate to deep tone -- it'll improve the sound of your voice over the phone

Zygomatic Smile

A very "pleasant" smile, and one of the most sincere types of smiles which is very hard to produce on demand, is the zygomatic smile. A zygomatic smile is the real item, a genuine heartfelt smile that involves upturned corners of the mouth, wrinkling at the eyes, or crow's feet, and utilizes very many more facial muscles than we can easily control voluntarily. It is therefore virtually impossible to fake the zygomatic smile, and most of us, while not necessarily knowing it, can distinguish it from a "phony" smile.

Il-Arslan

Il-Arslan ("The Lion") (full name: Taj ad-Dunya wa ad-Din Abul-Fath Il-Arslan ibn Atsiz, Persian: تاج الدین ابوالفتح ایل ارسلان بن اتسز) (died March 1172) was the Shah of Khwarezm from 1156 until 1172. He was the son of Atsïz.

Reign
In 1152 Il-Arslan was made governor of Jand, an outpost on the Syr Darya which had recently been reconquered, by his father. In 1156 Atsïz died and Il-Arslan succeeded him as Khwarazm-Shah. Like his father, he decided to pay tribute to both the Seljuk sultan Sanjar and the Qara Khitai gurkhan.

Sanjar died only a few months after Il-Arslan's ascension, causing Seljuk Khurasan to descend into chaos. This allowed Il-Arslan to effectively break off Seljuk suzerainty, although he remained on friendly terms with Sanjar's successor, Mas'ud. They were alleged to have attempted to create a joint campaign against the Qara Khitai, but such an alliance never occurred. Like his father, Il-Arslan sought to expand his influence in Khurasan, and in the 1160s took an active interest in the area by supplying armies to local allies, but despite the collapse of central Seljuk authority in that area, he was unable to make any significant headway against the regional rulers.

In 1158 Il-Arslan became involved in the affairs of another Qara Khitai vassal state, the Karakhanids of Samarkand. The Karakhanid Chaghrï Khan had been persecuting the Qarluks in his realm, and several Qarluk leaders fled to Khwarazm and sought Il-Arslan's help. He responded by invading the Karakhnid dominions, taking Bukhara and besieging Samarkand, where Chaghrï Khan had taken refuge. The latter appealed to both the Turks of the Syr Darya and the Qara Khitai, and the gurkhan sent an army, but its commander hesitated to enter into conflict with the Khwarazmis. In the end a peace was mediated where Chaghrï Khan was forced to take back the Qarluk leaders and restore them to their former positions.

In 1172 the Qara Khitai launched a punitive expedition against Il-Arslan, who had not paid the required annual tribute. The shah collected his army but soon became sick and turned over his forces to one of his lieutenants. The Khwarazmi army was defeated, however, and Il-Arslan died shortly after. Following his death the state briefly became embroiled in turmoil, as the succession was disputed between his sons Tekish and Sultan Shah.

Court life
Little is known about the court life at Gurganj under Il-Arslan. It was likely a continuation of the prospering milieu that had existed during his father's reign, with the secretary and poet Rashid al-Din Vatvat continuing to serve as the head of the chancery.

Mike Moore (baseball)

Michael Wayne Moore (born November 26, 1959) is an American former Major League Baseball pitcher.

Moore pitched for Oral Roberts University, going 28–11 with an ERA of 2.64. The Seattle Mariners drafted him with the first pick overall in the 1981 MLB amateur draft. During a 14-year baseball career, Moore pitched for the Mariners (1982–1988), Oakland Athletics (1989–1992) and the Detroit Tigers (1993–1995).

Moore made his Major League Baseball debut on April 11, 1982, and played his final game on August 31, 1995. His career concluded with a regular season win–loss record of 161–176 with a 4.39 earned run average (ERA), 79 complete games, and 16 shutouts in 450 games pitched ($2,831 2/3$ innings pitched). Moore's finest season arguably came in 1989 with Oakland, when he set career bests with 19 wins, a 2.61 ERA and a .219 batting average against. He was elected to the American League All-Star team that year and finished third in AL Cy Young Award voting.

Moore played for the Athletics in two World Series. He was a member of the A's team that swept the San Francisco Giants in the 1989 World Series, starting and winning two of the four games, and hitting a double as well. He was also on the A's team that lost to the Cincinnati Reds in the 1990 World Series. In five postseason series, Moore made seven career starts and compiled a 4–3 won-loss record with a 3.29 ERA.

Talk:International Relations/Classical Realism

I think several authors don't fit really well in that category : Zbigniew Brzezinski, Sun Tzu, Samuel Huntington. They are classics indeed, but hardly contributed to the classical realism thought. --CorentinB 18:54, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

 * classical realism is not just a theory but a wider stream of thought, please dont hesitate to visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realism_(international_relations) - Aspiliotop 15:11, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Political - not classical - realism is a broad stream of thought, which includes Classical realism among tons of subcategories. If you check the page you mention - which I didn't know, thanks - Hungtington is not mentioned anywhere and Brzezinski is in the "Realism in Statecraft" subtitle, not the "Classical realism" one. I don't really understand why Sun Tzu is labelled a "Political realist" (surely that's part of the SunTzumania) but he's not introduced as a "Classical realist". Not more than Hobbes, Machiavelli, Clausewitz or Thucydides. They may be seen as spiritual fathers of Classical realism, bringing their philosophical background to Morgenthau and his colleagues (however, Thucydides' case is not that clear, check Richard Ned Lebow's work on that).

 * Classical realism appeared in reaction to the clear failures of the liberal and idealist endeavours initiated with the creation of the League of Nations. It laid down the bases of the realist theory of international politics, introducing (and, more rarely, creating) key concepts such as "anarchy", "self help", "balance of power", etc. So I don't know if what you want to talk about is classical realism or political realism, but my opinion is that something has to be changed, either in the title or in the contents... --CorentinB 15:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Thank you for your valuable observations, according to E. Kouskouvelis in "International Relations:Introduction" Poiotita Editions 2004 page 59, Hobbes, Machiavelli, Clausewitz and Thucydides and Brzezinski gave the spirit to this theory meaning that they are not classical realists but some of the main ideas of classical realism can be found in their work, books..........That was what i meant by "derives from the thought".........But please dont be afraid to edit the page if you think its not clear enough.......

 * Thucydides is considered to be one of the "fathers" of classical realim and terms and ideas such as anarchy, survival of the state, state seeking security,national interest, state's need for military and economic power, balance of power can be found for the first time in Thucydides Peloponnesian War which is a great study of International Relations in a bipolar international system .....It would be interesting to study Thucydides from the original text in ancient Greek language because even the best translations are comfusing especally concerning ancient politics and international relations issues........

 * Kouskouvellis also in "International Relations:Introduction" states that classical realism and political realism are the one and the same....i agree only 50% because of the fact that classical realism is part of political realism but also embodies the most important common key assumptions of the realist theories and many other theories derive from classical realism theory.....for this reason its sometimes comfusing.........i think in order to make it clear it would be better to improve this page by editing it......and add or create a "political realism" part....please feel free to edit as much as you want, and thanks again .......--Aspiliotop 18:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for these details, maybe I'll edit that page later if I find enough time and courage ! About what Kouskouvellis wrote in his book, well I totally disagree. I'm not an addict of abusive categorizing with which realism is particularly concerned (see how many theories have been labelled "something-realist" in these last 15 years), but there are distinctions which are obviously necessary and meaningful... CorentinB 19:08, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree with u about the "something- realist" theories, in the end i think they all belong to greater and larger categories and small differenses shouldnt justify a different naming, but thats a more general problem that has to do with the nature of International Relations Theories and Political Sciense......dont worry got problems finding time myself, i do find your interest very inspiring though....in case you do find some time please visit International Relations discussion page, there is a first draft of a table of contents.....--Aspiliotop 20:23, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Which page are you talking about, please ? I've checked International Relations and Introduction to International Relations but there were no discussion and no new table of contents... uh, did you mean Strategic Weapons and int'l system ? --CorentinB 21:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

yeah sorry for putting you into so much trouble, thats what happens when working long hours.......you found it though......sorry again--Aspiliotop 22:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

(The company’s headquarters are located outside the jurisdiction of most customers’ courts; the product hopefully contains no malware.) Dervorguilla (talk) 08:46, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Software has received significant press coverage; article references TechCrunch and LifeHacker, see also Most of the arguments in the AfD proposal aren't reasons for deletion: who created the page doesn't affect its notability (the article may be mildly promotional but not so much as to be useless), and nor does what they country they are based in. Are we supposed to refuse to cover any software from Chile?  It's not the job of Wikipedia editors to decide what software people should or shouldn't install; we should only provide the best information for them to decide, and the number of reviews available allows us to do that.  Absence of reliable sources in the article isn't itself grounds for deletion, as more sources are available.

How long a day and year is on earth
Do we think the kids will know (and care) without definition the difference between solar and sidereal?

And then the precision is lost entirely on how long a year is (saying it is 365 days). An explanation of leap years might be cool.

 * In conjunction with the article on Venus, where a sidrial day vs. solar day has a significant impact on what can be called a day, this little tidbit of information does indeed have an impact, and the same can be said to a lesser degree about Mercury. This section could be beefed up a little bit, perhaps, in a follow up article that talks about the relationship between Sidrial time vs. Solar time (Sidrial time is used widely in astronomy to plot positions of objects in the sky, and most good observatories have a sidrial clock next to the telescope for positioning).  Basically, add some content here to explain the significance and value, rather than try to delete it.  --Rob Horning 06:33, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

How old is the Earth?
We really want to keep as many controvercial subject out of this Wikibook, especially with intelligent design or talk about the age of the Earth as according to the King James Version of the Bible (or any other religious text for that matter at the moment). I am a person of faith, and feel that there is a place to discuss and debate these issues, but as an edit war placing a very strong point of view for what should be a children's book is certainly not the place. If you want to tackle this issue like the mass vs. weight issue has been done, feel free to cover all aspects of this debate, including not only Christian thought, but also Mayan, Egyptian, Vedic, and other ancient or religious ideas on the age of the Universe. It can be done tactfully and respectfully, but not as a minor section of what is to be a general look of a planet we live on from the viewpoint of merely one of several planets in a vast solar system. I'm sorry if this may seem harsh or unforgiving to revert text in this nature, but don't place a Christian point of view on this Wikibook, which is against Wikibooks policy as well. --Rob Horning 04:21, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

 * -I must say this view point strikes me as intellectually dishonest. The question: "how old is earth?" is a very common and very valid question. By avoiding it I can't tell if you are trying to protect a particular creationist view point or trying to avoid an arguement with creationists.

 * At any rate, the age of the earth should definately be addressed in the book, which according to current scientific understanding is 4.57 billion years. There is no "debate" to be had here, nor is the notion of earth being so old a "very strong point of view": give or take a few million years, it is a scientific fact.

 * Any attempt to deny or weaken this fact, even by NOT stating it, undermines our understanding of the entire cosmos. I can see no valid reason for not including this section.--Z00 11:21, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Hey, I don't mind answering questions that are many months apart in replies. I would recommend that you go through this history of this page to see what exactly was posted here, as it was a very POV statement about how scientists were fooling the general public that the earth was billions of years old and citing the Bible as evidence that the earth was much younger, as well as spouting off POV material about creationism science.  That was the debate that I felt was inappropriate to this page, and why I removed it completely.  This page is not to debate creationism but rather to give factual details about the Earth.  Even adding a point about the age of the Earth to the content here is only going to add a single minor detail, for something that perhaps should be expanded into a whole other page entirely.  This page is not appropriate to go into details about why we think the Earth is so ancient, as well as the rest of the Solar System.  Supplimental topics have been added to the Wikijunior Solar System book going into more controvercial subjects, and perhaps this could be one of them.  Certainly this is not justification to start an edit war.  --Rob Horning 10:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

The How much does the Earth's gravity pull on me? section
As is already present, although perhaps in too sophisticated a style, this section seems to be the place to introduce the notions of gravity and weight in lieu of this section (or the separate modules here and here). All pointers in the book to an explanation of gravity or weight could then arrive here. The answers to each planet X's "How much would X pull on me?" section are (understandably) couched in terms of Earth's gravity, i.e. what is said in this section. Comments anyone?

Cruithne
Following the link you might learn that it isn't a second moon and it doesn't orbit Earth but the Sun. So it is better to mention it in a different context. Knightowld 21:00, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Terrestial Planet
Its states that earth is the largest terrestial planet without defining what this is. <IP_ADDRESS> 03:37, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Good point. Or any object within the orbit of Jupiter, which is often used as a definition of a terrestrial planet.  Mainly a planet that has a comparatively thin atmosphere if you want to give it a non Solar System-centric definition.  i.e. Earth, Venus, and Mars fit this defnition, as perhaps does Titan, but clearly Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune do not.  Mercury and the Earth's Moon are borderline cases under this defintion, and the Asteroids simply don't qualify at all, nor do any of the other moons of the other planets in the Solar System.

 * The point I was trying to make is that the Earth is huge, and this is another cool fact: If you combined all of the mass of all other objects in the inner Solar System, including all of the astroids, Mars, Venus, Mercury, the Earth's Moon, and compared it to the Earth after they were all mashed up together, it would still be smaller than the Earth.  How about that?  --Rob Horning 23:13, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Giorgio Ficara

Giorgio Ficara (born 20 June 1952 in Turin) is an Italian essayist and literary critic. He is Full Professor of Italian Literature at the University of Turin.

Biography
Born in Turin in 1952, Ficara attended the city’s Jesuit classical high school. A student of Giovanni Getto, he received his baccalaureate from the University of Turin in 1974 with an undergraduate thesis on Gabriele D'Annunzio. From 1975 to 1981 he was Assistant to the Chair of Italian Literature, a post held by Getto. From 1982 to 1999 he was a research fellow and lecturer; from 1999 to the present he has held the position of Full Professor and Chair of Italian Literature at the University of Turin’s Atheneum.

Ficara was co-director of Nuovi Argomenti (1989-1999) and literary critic for Panorama (1988 – 1997) and La Stampa (1978 - 2012). He currently collaborates with the Sunday edition of Il Sole 24 Ore and is co-director of Lettere italiane, a journal founded by Vittore Branca and Giovanni Getto. He is a corresponding member of the Lorenzo Valla Foundation and the Bembo Foundation. He is director of the De Sanctis Foundation of Rome and president of the De Sanctis Prize for Essay Writing.

Ficara has been a visiting professor in the United States at UCLA, Stanford University, the University of Chicago and at Columbia University. He has also taught in Paris at the Sorbonne and at the Collège de France, as well as in various European universities. Literary critic, historian of literature and of literary-philosophical systems, and comparatist, his areas of study are Francesco Petrarca, Giacomo Leopardi, Giacomo Casanova and eighteenth-century European literature, Alessandro Manzoni, and twentieth-century Italian literature, with a particular interest in Montale and the question of the novel’s origins.

His literary criticism merges non-fiction and textual criticism in order to elucidate the hermeneutics of the literary work: “Why is criticism always less an explanation of and commentary on the text and more an alternative to a text that does not exist? Or rather: why is criticism itself no longer necessary for a work that explains everything on its own? [...] Contingent upon the writer’s ‘original' prose, the critic’s applied prose exists, in effect, because the other text exists even more.”

"Ficara is one of those scholars who believes that (and attempts to put into practice) the writer’s contribution should not be viewed as secondary with respect to the professional contribution of the critic. Writing is a different means of speaking about literature, a more free, or more vertiginous or concise means to say the same things as the critic. [...] Ficara, who has set out on this particular path, is quite adept at concocting these mixtures of narration and interpretation, these moments and flashes in which we don’t know whether the narrator or the critic will prevail" (Gian Luigi Beccaria, Stile Novecento: il romanzo delle idee, "Tuttolibri-La Stampa", 16 June 2007, p. 5).

"For Ficara what matters is the struggle, leading to an exchange of position, between narrative play and the awakening of the conscience: 'pure play in Laurence Sterne', 'play that yields to awareness in Alessandro Manzoni', 'dream-play of the conscience in Italo Calvino'. Fiction exists in the service of truth and truth does not exist without storytelling and without a 'crossroads of perspectives.’" (Alfonso Berardinelli, Il Novecento davanti a noi, Il Sole 24 Ore, 13 January 2008, p. 37).

 * review
 * two disambiguations needed -Wang Yang and Hukou ✅
 * captions: those that are a complete sentence require a period. Those that don't end in a complete sentence should not end in a period. Two of the captions need fixing. ✅
 * "a more or less comprehensive roadmap " - vague. Can you use different wording?
 * link as many Chinese names and terms as possible at first mention. e.g. I linked Liaoning province as an example ✅
 * in general, names of people should be wiki linked at first mention (if there is an article to link to) and can be linked again further down, as to many these names are confusing.
 * "the initiative was given approval by central authorities" - do the central authorities have a name? ✅
 * "The campaign was overseen by Wang Lijun, whom Bo had worked with previously in Liaoning province." - it's mentioned below that he is police chief - should it be mentioned here because I didn't connect the names. ✅
 * "only 27% held urban hukous as of 2007" - is an "urban hukous" some kind of certification or license? ✅
 * "3 million rural residents" - generally numbers under 10 should be written out - e.g. three millon ✅
 * "One student quoted in the Washington Post embraced the ethos of the campaign, saying, "When I sing red songs, I find a kind of spirit I never felt when singing modern songs" - should be The Washington Post (a few sentences later the Washington Post is mentioned again but the correct name, linking and italics should occur at first mention. ✅

Talk:Individuation

Older comments
Gilbert Simondon needs a mentionon this page. His work is where Brian Massumi and Gilles Deleuze ultimately derive their conceptions of individuation from. Glen fuller 01:31, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It was there before someone deleted it... Santa Sangre 18:04, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Summary/Disambiguation Needed
This page does absolutely nothing to tell me what individuation is. It uses a bunch of loaded, obfuscated language used by the psychologists that came up with the terms used. It should have a summary with an example that a layperson in psychology can understand(someone like me). Also the comment on individuation wrt economics seems like it should be disambiguated. If it does relate to the concept in psychology, it should be explained how it relates.

 * I definitely agree with this. This article doesn't explain what individuation is. A simple example alone would vastly reduce this problem. — metaprimer (talk) 01:24, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

- Completely lacking in a straightforward account of what individuation means, is there not someone out there who can present a simple account? Not my area of expertise, although I do feel qualified to comment on the economics para - I suspect the editor of this has in mind "specialization" and not "individuation". This para should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:19, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

I hope that after the addition of the section "Carl Jung on individuation", it is a bit clearer. I could add examples and make it even clearer. But those examples would seem unbelievable to the average reader and I do not have proper documentation to back them up. Leontaurus (talk) 18:36, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

modification of summary
I rewrote the opening to try to give a clearer statement of p.i., in answer to the comments in the talk. Making effort to distinguish, up front, the two related concepts of p.i.: the philosophical, and the analytical. I eliminated most of what was there, but kept that one sentence about the analytical concept. I eliminated the reference to and link to “true self” as it is a misrepresentation. The Winnicott idea of true self is not Jungian, but an independent idea. The Jungian idea is simply the Self. One can speak of a kind of true and false self out of analytical psychology, but the term “true self” is not Jung’s but Winnicott’s.

I also grouped Jung, Simondon, and Stiegler under a subheading, “Examples.” Previously, it gave a false impression of priority and development. Really, the three examples are only that, examples.

I am currently doing some heavy research that includes p.i., out of Jung, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche, and hope to be able to put up fully documented explications of the first two, at least, in the near future.A.E.M. Baumann (talk) 18:46, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Addition of Media Industry's Usage of Term
Because the term individuation has begun to be used within the media industry to denote new technologies that allow mass customization of editions or programs, I've added a paragraph about that and a reference. by Vcrosbie 03:35, 4 July 2008 (UTC) 02:50, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

-- The link to what appears to be a book to support Marshall McLuhan's view of media doesn't work, however, I do have some books and another source that might be helpful for flushing out and expounding upon what is already written. The two books are called "The Future of the Library: From Electric Media to Digital Media By Marshall McLuhan and Robert K. Logan and "Laws of Media: The New Science" By Marshall McLuhan and Eric McLuhan. There is also an article that mentions Marshall McLuhan and his theories 'Banerji, Debashish (2015).

Jung's Individuation
''' Aphill66 (talk) 23:39, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

The original meaning of the word stands. If media borrow it to describe making individual setup's on a device which connects them to a crowd, they should be stopped from using it. It is an insult for this to happen to all who studied and already had a name when using it to describe a process and its symptoms, in particular to Carl G. Jung. The modern-day media cudgelling of the word is an affront to the psychoanalysts of our times who made names for themselves by spending years analysing patients and themselves! Outrageous in fact!2A00:23C7:598A:B300:85D5:2849:16AA:A20A (talk) 13:33, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

I removed some ambiguous wording such as: "It may however also include physical health too but not necessarily". This statement for example is contradicting itself and reference#2 (= Jung, C. G. (1962). Symbols of Transformation: An analysis of the prelude to a case of schizophrenia (Vol. 2, R. F. C. Hull, Trans.). New York: Harper & Brothers). It seems the author is just skeptic to the effect of individuation, but does not have knowledge/experience with it and ignores the documentation. Leontaurus (talk) 18:36, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Jung's Individuation 2
I don't think this wiki page correctly defines the process it is meant to describe. Jung described individuation as: Individuation is a process of psychological integration. "In general, it is the process by which individual beings are formed and differentiated [from other human beings]; in particular, it is the development of the psychological individual as a being distinct from the general, collective psychology. The description talk of "thing's being different/distinguished from one another. This is incorrect if Individuation is about personalities as opposed to objects. The description I feel is overly simplified to lead people away from the process of becoming individuals again. One group of people described in the article all mean the same thing with Individuation. They are C. G. Jung, Alan Watts, Friedrich Nietzsche, Dr. David Bohm. They were all talking about the person, not objects. -- This implies it is not merely how individual things are distinguished from 'other things' but specifically different from the collective mind. A mind which develops from the views of others is a crowd mind. Those who are in that state can be taken from that environment, kept in an individual state until that mind goes through stages, not unlike mental illness (dissociation for example, which is very normal when creating an individual distinct from the crowd) which are the result of no longer identifying with the psychological feedback-loops of the crowd. The description at the beginning has been stripped of vital information to avoid people recognizing the majority have not made the final step of their own personal evolution as long as they continue to identify and follow 'the crowd'. I have been through the process myself and am fully aware of the states of mind it leads to, and the revelation that the individual needs to pass through to become distinct from the crowd. Buddhism, Sufi, Esoteric Christians are all processes of Individuation. Religion is describing Individuation processes.2A00:23C7:598A:B300:85D5:2849:16AA:A20A (talk) 12:57, 11 April 2020 (UTC) -- Still the same commenter here. Thanks for adding The "..some theorists.." part at the end of the Jung section. But why don't you just add how Jung himself described it, rather than misleading "the crowd". His description is: In general, it is the process by which individual beings are formed and differentiated [from other human beings]; in particular, it is the development of the psychological individual as a being distinct from the general, collective psychology. - Stop trying to mislead people about a simple process. Anyone can reach that state of being. We're educated in crowds for a reason.2A00:23C7:598A:B300:91EF:D648:1589:78D3 (talk) 17:31, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

archetypes info
The presentation of archetypes into the question on individuation is very weak: if you don't know what archetypes are to begin with, the section offers little knowledge.

Also, I question the rhetorical veracity of the sentence sourced from Rowan (beginning at "Thus, there is," though perhaps beginning at "Some would interpose"). It is very loose language, so much so as to create more false knowledge than it offers answers. A.E.M. Baumann (talk) 14:17, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

archetypes 2
Concerning true Individuation, which is the process of separation of crowd-members, psychologically, from their crowd, archetypes are the initial character-forming ideas of self as filling a role as part of the crowd, forced on the individual during primary school years. In that environment, the child is ushered towards filling that crowd role by subjecting him or her to a crowd environment in the playground. School's main function is to create crowd members as opposed to free thinkers.2A00:23C7:598A:B300:85D5:2849:16AA:A20A (talk) 13:18, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Multiple, unconnected Wikipedia articles masquerading as one
"The word individuation occurs with different meanings and connotations in different fields."

That sentence from the article sums up two major problems with this article:

1) Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and its job is not to define words whether they have multiple meanings or not.

2) When multiple uses of a term each have their own meanings and connotations, they are properly the subject of separate Wikipedia articles (i.e. they are homonyms but on different topics); or they aren't Wikipedia material at all, just dictionary entries.

The article, in short, needs to be broken up. Individually individuated, perhaps. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:30, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
