History of the Jews in Estonia

The history of Jews in Estonia starts with reports of the presence of individual Jews in what is now Estonia from as early as the 14th century.

Jews were settled in Estonia in the 19th century, especially following a statute of Russian Tsar Alexander II in 1865 allowed the so-called Jewish "Nicholas soldiers" (often former cantonists) and their descendants, First Guild merchants, artisans, and Jews with higher education to settle outside the Pale of Settlement. These settlers founded the first Jewish congregations in Estonia. The Tallinn congregation, the largest in Estonia, was founded in 1830. The Tartu congregation was established in 1866 when the first fifty families settled there. Synagogues were built, the largest of which were constructed in Tallinn in 1883 and Tartu in 1901. Both of these were destroyed by fire during World War II. A synagogue was also built in Võro as shown in the records of Estonian Jewish historian Nathan Ganns.

The Jewish population spread to other Estonian cities where houses of prayer (at Valga, Pärnu and Viljandi) were erected and cemeteries were established. Schools were opened to teach Talmud, and elementary schools were organised in Tallinn in the 1880s. The majority of Jews at that time consisted of small tradesmen and artisans without advanced schooling because the settlement consisted of demobilized Cantonists, who had been drafted into the Russian army at an early age. At the end of the 19th century, however, several Jews entered the University of Tartu and later contributed significantly to enliven Jewish culture and education. Among the Jewish residents of Võro who graduated from the University of Tartu was Moses Wolf Goldberg. In 1917 the Jewish Drama Club was founded in Tartu.

Jewish autonomy in independent Estonia
Approximately 200 Jews fought in combat in the Estonian War of Independence (1918–1920) for the creation of the Republic of Estonia. 70 of these fighters were volunteers.

The creation of the Republic of Estonia in 1918 marked the beginning of a new era in the life of Jews. From the independence of Estonia as a state, Estonia showed tolerance towards all ethnic and religious minorities. This set the stage for energetic growth in the political and cultural activities of Jewish society. Between 11 and 16 May 1919, the first Estonian Congress of Jewish congregations was convened to discuss the new circumstances Jewish life was confronting. This is where the ideas of cultural autonomy and a Jewish Gymnasium (secondary school) in Tallinn were born. Jewish societies and associations began to grow in numbers. The largest of these new societies was the H. N. Bjalik Literature and Drama Society in Tallinn founded in 1918. Societies and clubs were established in Viljandi, Narva, and elsewhere.

1920s
In 1920, the Maccabi Sports Society was founded and became well known for its endeavours to encourage sports among Jews. Jews also took an active part in sporting events in Estonia and abroad. Sara Teitelbaum was a 17-time champion in Estonian athletics and established no fewer than 28 records. In the 1930s there were about 100 Jews studying at the University of Tartu: 44 studied jurisprudence and 18 medicine. In 1934, a chair was established in the School of Philosophy for the study of Judaica. There were five Jewish student societies in Tartu Academic Society: the Women's Student Society Hazfiro, the Corporation Limuvia, the Society Hasmonea and the Endowment for Jewish Students. All of these had their own libraries and played important roles in Jewish culture and social life.

Political organisations such as Zionist youth organisations Hashomer Hazair and Beitar were also established. Many Jewish youths travelled to Palestine to establish the Jewish State. The kibbutzim of Kfar Blum and Ein Gev were set up in part by Estonian Jews.

On 12 February 1925, the Estonian government passed a law on the cultural autonomy of minorities. The Jewish community quickly prepared its application for cultural autonomy. Statistics on Jewish citizens were compiled. They totalled 3,045, fulfilling the minimum requirement of 3,000 for cultural autonomy. In June 1926 the Jewish Cultural Council was elected and Jewish cultural autonomy was declared. The administrative organ of this autonomy was the Board of Jewish Culture, headed by Hirsch Aisenstadt until it was disbanded following the Soviet occupation of Estonia in 1940. When German troops occupied Estonia in 1941, Aisenstadt evacuated to Russia. He returned to Estonia when the Germans had left but was arrested by the Soviet authorities in 1949.

The cultural autonomy of minority peoples is an exceptional phenomenon in European cultural history. Therefore, Jewish cultural autonomy was of great interest to the global Jewish community. The Jewish National Endowment Keren Kajamet presented the Estonian government with a certificate of gratitude for this achievement.

This cultural autonomy allowed full control of education by the community. From 1926, Hebrew began to replace Russian in the Jewish public school in Tallinn, while in 1928 a rival Yiddish language school was founded.

From the very first days of its existence as a state, Estonia showed tolerance towards all the peoples inhabiting its territories. In 1925, the Act of Cultural Autonomy for Ethnic Minorities was enacted in Estonia, giving minority groups consisting of at least 3,000 individuals the right to self-determination in cultural matters. Financial support was provided by the state. Thus, in 1926, Jewish cultural autonomy was declared. For its tolerant policy towards Jews, a page was dedicated to the Republic of Estonia in the Golden Book of Jerusalem in 1927.

1930s
In 1934, there were 4381 Jews living in Estonia (0.4% of the population). 2203 Jews lived in Tallinn. Other cities of residence included Tartu (920), Valga (262), Pärnu (248), Narva (188) and Viljandi (121). 1688 Jews contributed to the national economy: 31% in commerce, 24% in services, 14.5% as artisans, and 14% as labourers. There were also large businesses: the leather factory Uzvanski and Sons in Tartu, the Ginovkeris' Candy Factory in Tallinn, furriers Ratner and Hoff, and forest improvement companies such as Seins and Judeiniks. There was a society for tradesmen and industrialists. Tallinn and Tartu boasted Jewish co-operative banks. Only 9.5% of the Jewish population worked freelance. Most of these were physicians, over 80 in all (there was also a society for Jewish physicians). In addition there were 16 pharmacists and 4 veterinarians. 11% of the Jewish population had received higher education, 37% secondary education and 33% elementary education. 18% had only received education at home.

The Jewish community established its own social welfare system. The Jewish Goodwill Society of the Tallinn Congregation made it their business to oversee and execute the ambitions of this system. The Rabbi of Tallinn at that time was Dr. Gomer. In 1941 during the German occupation he was ruthlessly harassed and finally murdered. In Tartu the Jewish Assistance Union was active, and welfare units were set up in Narva, Valga and Pärnu.

In 1933 the influence of National Socialism on Baltic Germans began to be a concern. Nazism was outlawed as a movement contrary to social order, the German Cultural Council was disbanded, and the National Socialist Viktor von Mühlen, the elected member of the Baltic German Party, was forced to resign from the Riigikogu. All materials ridiculing Jews, including the National Socialist magazine Valvur (Guard) were banned by order of the State Elder Konstantin Päts as materials inciting hatred.

In the same year a faculty of Jewish Studies was established at Tartu University. Lazar Gulkowitsch, a former professor at Leipzig University was appointed the university's first Professor and Chair of Jewish Studies and began teaching in 1934.

In 1936, the British-based newspaper The Jewish Chronicle reported after a visit to Tallinn by one of its journalists: "'Estonia is the only country in Eastern Europe where neither the Government nor the people practice any discrimination against Jews and where Jews are left in peace.... the cultural autonomy granted to Estonian Jews ten years ago still holds good, and Jews are allowed to lead a free and unmolested life and fashion it in accord with their national and cultural principles.'"

In February 1937, as anti-semitism was growing elsewhere in Europe, the vice president of the Jewish Community Heinrich Gutkin was appointed by Presidential decree to the Estonian upper parliamentary chamber, the Riiginõukogu.

Throughout the 1930s, Zionist youth movements were active, with pioneer training being offered on Estonian farms by HeHalutz, while the leading cultural institute Bialik Farein performed plays and its choir toured and performed on radio.

Soviet occupation in 1940
The life of the small Jewish community in Estonia was disrupted in 1940 with the Soviet occupation of Estonia. Cultural autonomy together with all its institutions were liquidated in July 1940. In July and August of the same year all organisations, associations, societies and corporations were closed. Jewish businesses were nationalized. A relatively large number of Jews (350–450, about 10% of the total Jewish population) were deported into prison camps in Russia by the Soviet authorities on 14 June 1941, where most perished.

The Holocaust
Map used to illustrate Stahlecker's report to Heydrich on January 31, 1942.jpg.
 * Estonia 963 executions and declared "Judenfrei"
 * Latvia 35,238 executions
 * Lithuania 136,421 executions
 * Belarus 41,828 executions
 * Russia 3,600 executions
 * at the bottom: "the estimated number of Jews still on hand is 128,000"]]

More than 75% of Estonia's Jewish community, aware of the fate that otherwise awaited them, managed to escape to the Soviet Union; virtually all the remainder (between 950 and 1000 men, women, and children) had been killed by the end of 1941. They included Estonia's only Rabbi; the professor of Jewish Studies at the University of Tartu; Jews who had left the Jewish community; the mentally disabled; and a number of veterans of the Estonian War of Independence. Fewer than a dozen Estonian Jews are known to have survived the war in Estonia.

Round-ups and killings of Jews began immediately following the arrival of the first German troops in 1941, who were closely followed by the extermination squad Sonderkommando 1a under Martin Sandberger, part of Einsatzgruppe A led by Walter Stahlecker. Arrests and executions continued as the Germans, with the assistance of local collaborators, advanced through Estonia. Unlike German forces, Estonians seem to have supported the anti-Jewish actions on the political level, but not on a racial basis. The standard excuse used for the "cleansing" operations was arrest 'because of Communist activity'. This equation of Jews with Communism evoked a positive Estonian response, and attempts were made by Estonian police to determine whether an arrested person indeed supported Communism. Estonians often argued that their Jewish colleagues and friends were not communists and submitted proof of pro-Estonian conduct in the hope of being able to get them released. Anton Weiss-Wendt in his dissertation "Murder Without Hatred: Estonians, the Holocaust, and the Problem of Collaboration" concluded on the basis of the reports of informers to the occupation authorities that Estonians in general did not believe in Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda and by majority maintained positive opinion about Jews. Estonia was declared Judenfrei quite early, at the Wannsee Conference on 20 January 1942, as the Jewish population of Estonia was small (about 4,500), and the majority of it managed to escape to the Soviet Union before the Germans arrived. Virtually all the remainder (921 according to Martin Sandberger, 929 according to Evgenia Goorin-Loov and 963 according to Walter Stahlecker) were killed. The Nazi regime also established 22 concentration and labor camps in Estonia for foreign Jews, the largest being Vaivara concentration camp. Several thousand foreign Jews were killed at the Kalevi-Liiva camp. An estimated 10,000 Jews were killed in Estonia after having been deported there from Eastern Europe.

There were two Estonians who have been honoured with The Righteous Among the Nations: Uku Masing and his wife Eha.

Soviet period
Four Estonians held most responsible for the murders at Kalevi-Liiva were tried at war crimes trials in 1961. Two were later executed, while the others avoided sentencing by going into exile.

About 1,500 Jews from Tallinn returned after the war, and by 1959 there were 3,714 Jews in the city. After the Six-Day War, 400 Jews from Tallinn emigrated to Israel. From 1944 to 1988, there were no Jewish organisations, associations, or clubs in Estonia.

Current situation

In March 1988, as Estonia regained its independence, the Jewish Cultural Society was established in Tallinn, the first of its kind in the former Soviet Union. Unlike in other parts of the Soviet Union, there were no problems with registering the society or its symbols. The Society began by organising concerts and lectures. Soon the question of founding a Jewish school arose. As a start, a Sunday school was established in 1989. The Tallinn Jewish Gymnasium on Karu Street was being used by a vocational school. In 1990, a Jewish school with grades 1 through 9 was established.

Jewish culture clubs, affiliated with the Cultural Society, started in Tartu, Narva, and Kohtla-Järve. Other organisations followed: the sports society Maccabi, the Society for the Gurini Goodwill Endowment and the Jewish Veterans Union. Life returned to Jewish congregations. Courses in Hebrew were re-established. A relatively large library was opened with assistance from Israeli and Jewish communities in other countries.

The gamut of cultural activities kept on growing. The Jewish Cultural Society is a founding member of Eestimaa Rahvuste Ühendus (Union of the Peoples of Estonia), which was founded at the end of 1988. The restoration of Estonian independence in 1991 brought about numerous political, economic and social changes. The Jews living in Estonia could now defend their rights as a national minority. The Jewish community was officially recognized with the approval of its charter on 11 April 1992. Estonia resumed its traditional regard of its Jews with friendship and accommodation. In support of this a new Cultural Autonomy Act, based on the original 1925 law, was passed in Estonia in October 1993, which grants minority communities, including Jewish, a legal guarantee to preserve their national identities.

In 2005 the name of a park in Võru was changed to the "Jewish park" as it abutted the factory of a cantonist Jewish family the Judaikens who had established residence there after service in the army of Alexander II of Russia. In 1875 the Judaiken family built a synagogue in Võru in the vicinity of the park.

On 16 May 2007 a new synagogue in Tallinn was opened. It houses a sanctuary, mikvah and restaurant. A year later, in 2008, the Estonian Jewish Museum opened to the public.

In 2018, an unknown group of perpetrators torched and vandalized Holocaust monuments in Estonia. In 2019, one year later, the Jewish section of the Rahumäe Cemetery in Tallinn was vandalized; vandals broke graves and defaced them with swastikas.

Historical demographics
Estonia always had a relatively small Jewish population. In 1820 there were 36 Jewish residents listed as living in Estonia. By 1918 the number had increased to 1,523. In 1922, there were 1,929 Jewish residents. In 1934 there were 4,389 Jewish residents. In contrast to many other European countries, Estonia's Jewish population peaked only after World War II, at almost 5,500 people in 1959. It then began a steady decline, with an especially sharp decline in the 1990s after the fall of Communism as many Estonian Jews emigrated to other countries, especially to Israel and the United States. The following places are known to have cemeteries with Jewish graves in Estonia: Narva; Pärnu; Rakvere; Tallinn (Magasini Jewish cemetery, and Rahumäe Jewish cemetery); Tartu (Old Jewish cemetery, New Jewish cemetery, Roosi Street cemetery); Valga; Viljandi and Võru.

Current demographics

 * Total population (2007): 1,900
 * Live births (2006): 12
 * Total deaths (2006): 51
 * Birth rate: 6.32 per 1000
 * Death rate: 26.84 per 1000
 * Net growth rate: −2.05% per year.

Talk:List of heaviest land mammals

Elephant Seal
How much time does a "land animal" need to spend on land? Hippos are in water 80% of the time. The two species of Elephant Seals are large enough to be on this list, and spend weeks at a time on land. Tsunami3 (talk) 19:01, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Seals are considered as marine animals. They're fully depended on aquatic life for survival. Although hippo spend 70-80% in water, 90% of their food source is on land. Water buffalos, elephants and rhinos are also heavily depended on water but they too rely on land for food. Ishan87 (talk) 14:19, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Should humans be tied for number 10?
This person weighed 1,400 lbs.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Brower_Minnoch — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nemoscis (talk • contribs) 23:53, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Average weight is the main factor here Ishan87 (talk) 14:20, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

New Project?
I for one, would find it very interesting to see what the list would look like if we expanded the countdown to 15 or 20.

Good idea. Now I extended it to 15. I can stretch it to 20 if you guys want Ishan87 (talk) 14:25, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

African Forest Elephant
This is a separate species to both African Elephant and Asian Elephant; surely this should be in the top ten? — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:39, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

They're the 3rd largest, so I corrected it Ishan87 (talk) 14:26, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Very bad list
This list is very wrong, for example the maximum weigth of the elephant is over 10000kg and hipoppotamus is much heavier than giraffe, I suggest to make another entire list — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:23, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

I updated the list. What's your thought on it now? Ishan87 (talk) 14:20, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Pathetic list
I'm asking you guys to leave this to professionals like me, there is so many wrong sizes in this list, I will make this list much better

Lots and lots of wrong information. Pathetic article
The hippos are not this small, the african buffalos are not this big, the gaurs are not this small you have not used reputable sources for your information either <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:23, 4 December 2021 (UTC) Hippos are listed in the right place. Weight estimations vary. I didn't change anything that is claimed in the original page of the specific animal.

Almost all wrong, false information
Gaurs are the largest bovids, how can their ranges be less than water buffalos? The weight of the water buffalos is grossly exaggerated, please correct it <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:26, 4 December 2021 (UTC) Gaurs are smaller in some regions

Lego DC Super Hero Girls

Lego DC Super Hero Girls (stylized as LEGO DC Super Hero Girls) was a Lego theme based on the DC Super Hero Girls franchise. It is licensed from DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation. The theme was first introduced in November 2016. The toy line was accompanied by several shorts, a television special and films based on Lego DC Super Hero Girls. The Lego DC Super Hero Girls theme was discontinued by the end of 2018.

Overview
Lego DC Super Hero Girls was based on the DC Super Hero Girls franchise. The product line focuses on the DC Super Hero Girls characters from Super Hero High School. At Super Hero High School, well-known DC heroes attend challenging classes and deal with all the awkwardness of growing up with the added stress of having unique superpowers. Lego DC Super Hero Girls aimed to recreate the main characters in Lego form, including Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Bumblebee, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.

Development
The Lego DC Super Hero Girls theme aimed to introduce a product line that reimagines female DC superheroes and supervillains in Lego form as students at high school. In partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment, the theme aimed to provide children with a "relatable world filled with aspirational characters, immersive stories and action-packed missions that inspire girls aged 7-10 to be smart, courageous and empowered to be an everyday Super Hero".

Each of the sets featured the Lego DC Super Hero Girls characters revamped as mini-doll figures and gave them new looks which were also used in the Lego Friends, Lego Disney Princess and Lego Elves themes.

Launch
The Lego DC Super Hero Girls theme was launched early in the US on 5 October 2016. The Lego Group announced the first wave of six construction sets based on the DC Super Hero Girls franchise on 27 November 2016 in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, followed by a global launch in January 2017. The sets featured buildings, vehicles and mini-doll figures, including Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Bumblebee, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy and several villains, including Eclipso, Lashina, Lena Luthor and Mad Harriet. The second wave of sets was launched at the New York Toy Fair in 1 August 2017.

In addition, The Lego Group built two life-sized models of Harley Quinn and Supergirl, two characters that appear in the DC Super Hero Girls franchise. The Harley Quinn model consisted of 12,789 Lego bricks, measured 5'3" in height and weighed 63 lbs. The Supergirl model consisted of 14,210 Lego bricks, measured 5'5" in height and weighed 70 lbs. They were placed in front of New York Comic Con.

Superheroes

 * Wonder Woman: She is 317 years old and has sneaked away from the Amazons' island home of Themyscira in order to fulfill her dream of protecting the mortal world. Upon reaching the city of Metropolis, she learns to pass herself off as a typical high school student with help from the other main characters. Voiced by Grey Griffin.
 * Supergirl: She is a central protagonist in the web series Lego DC Super Hero Girls where she is a student at Super Hero High. Voiced by Anais Fairweather.
 * Batgirl: She is a student at Super Hero High and is an extremely intelligent genius. She is a tomboy and loves to investigate criminals. Voiced by Ashlyn Selich.
 * Bumblebee: She is a student at Super Hero High. Voiced by Teala Dunn.
 * Harley Quinn: She is a student at Super Hero High and the roommate of Wonder Woman. Unusually for the character, she is portrayed as a hero instead of a villain and has a mostly positive relationship with her superhero counterparts. Voiced by Tara Strong.
 * Poison Ivy: She is a student at Super Hero High. She is a kind person. In contrast with her DC Comics counterpart, she is hero and cooperates with other heroes like Wonder Woman and Batgirl. Voiced by Tara Strong.
 * Steve Trevor: He is a waiter at Capes and Cowls Cafe, which is owned by his father. Voiced by Josh Keaton.
 * The Flash: He is a student at Super Hero High in Lego DC Super Hero Girls series. Voiced by Josh Keaton.
 * Krypto: Supergirl's dog.

Supervillains

 * Eclipso: She is the secondary antagonist in Lego DC Super Hero Girls: Brain Drain. She is a secret ally of Lena Luthor. Voiced by Mona Marshall.
 * Lashina: She is a whip-wielding member of The Female Furies. In Lego DC Super Hero Girls: Brain Drain, she and Mad Harriet are assisting Lena Luthor. In Lego DC Super Hero Girls: Super-Villain High, she takes the name Backlash as she joins Lena Luthor's team of villains. Voiced by Meredith Salenger.
 * Lena Luthor: She is the main antagonist of the Lego DC Super Hero Girls series. Unlike the main series, instead of avenging her brother's arrest at the hands of the heroes, she wishes to surpass him as a true supervillain, but she never succeeds. She's developed a series of Kryptomites with one of six different colors each, which affect everyone that comes near them by changing their emotions, such as anger, sadness, fear, distrust and forgetfulness, while the green ones only act as normal kryptonite that only affect Supergirl. She's usually seen assisting the Female Furies and Eclipso, though she always hinders the plans of the latter in the end, hindering her own plan in the process. Voiced by Romi Dames.
 * Mad Harriet: She is a vicious member of The Female Furies. She wears metal claws. She appears in Lego DC Super Hero Girls: Brain Drain and voiced by Jennifer Hale.

Construction sets

 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * Bahram II was the eldest son of Bahram I link Bahram I, add regnal dates, and that he was the fourth ruler of the Sasanian dynasty. Given that the average reader doesn't know who the Sasanians were, I'd recommend taking the opportunity to expand a bit on this, e.g., "the Sasanian dynasty, that had come to rule Iran in the 3rd century" or similar
 * He had not been born...due to not being mentioned in it means that he was not born (physically) because he was not mentioned in it, rather than what you want to say, which is that he had not been born...as he is not mentioned in it. Also, add a brief mention why the inscription reveals this, i.e. that it enumerates the members of the dynasty at the time.
 * Thoughts? --HistoryofIran (talk) 17:38, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Looks good, but why the footnote? The footnote adds nothing new, since the reference is already to Rapp. You can simply write: A terminus post quem for his birth is c. 262, since that is the date of Shapur I's inscription at the Ka'ba-ye Zartosht, which mentions the rest of the royal family but not him. or something similar. Footnotes should only be used to clarify something tangential to the text, or provide additional, but extraneous information. Constantine  ✍  16:35, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

 * the governorship of Sakastan, Sindh and Turgistan can you please clarify where these areas were, either by modern reference or relative to the test of the Sasanian realm? A map would also do wonders to improve the understandability of the article for the average reader.
 * The provinces were but As a result, the province had; be consistent, and clarify whether these provinces were habitually collected under a single governor.
 * lasted shortly -> lasted briefly. Generally, avoid shortly, which you use throughout; while short=brief, 'shortly' means 'in a concise manner', not 'briefly' or 'soon'.
 * on September 274 -> in September 274
 * History of the Prophets and Kings, volume 5 this is vol. 5 in the modern edition, not in the original volumes of Tabari's work. I recommend omitting it, and also using the for the reference
 * displays a noteworthy transition sounds like an opinion, please attribute this to the relevant scholar
 * Introduce Rezakhani with full name ("the historian XY...")
 * without facing much fighting either 'without facing much opposition" or "without much fighting"
 * due to facing severe internal problems repetition of 'facing'
 * re-conquered by the Sasanians. as this was evidently peaceful, 're-captured' or 're-occupied'.
 * "Western Armenia" should probably link to one of the sections of Roman Armenia rather than Byzantine Armenia.
 * As before, introduce Weber
 * the later Roman-Iranian treaty of 299 this has a common name, 'Peace of Nisibis', I suggest you use it.
 * so high importance -> such importance
 * merely aged seven. 'merely' is redundant
 * unwillingly proclaimed who was unwilling?
 * That was Bahram III - I've changed it a bit. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:06, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

 * The line was -> the line of succession was
 * Before Bahram II, all the previous Sasanian shahs -> 'Before Bahram II, the Sasanian shahs' or 'All Sasanian shahs before Bahram II'
 * which indicates that thenceforth priests were given the office of judge 'indicates' is somewhat unclear here. Does this mean that this is the first instance, and that this became a regular phenomenon after, or that this was already occurring, and Kartir is the first known case?
 * The former. I've changed it to 'implies' instead. --HistoryofIran (talk) 17:19, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

 * with the exception of when representatives of other religions had conflicts with each other which was resolved how/referred to where?
 * Not mentioned in the source unfortunately. --HistoryofIran (talk) 17:15, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

 * the latter claimed on his inscription which inscription?
 * Since the identity of the other figures on his coins is conjetured and even disputed, I would propose moving the "Bahram II was the first shah to have coins minted of his family...." section after the discussion of the figures appearing on his coins. Otherwise this is given as fact, when it is simply one possible interpretation.
 * Like this? --HistoryofIran (talk) 13:55, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, but you need to tie this into the issue of what the coins represent, i.e., make clear that if the one supposition is correct, then Bahram was indeed the first monarch to blah blah... Constantine  ✍  16:35, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

 * first and penultimate shah is somewhat labored, given that the only other person was a queen and at a distance of over three centuries. O suggest 'He is the first and only shah to have a woman illustrated on his coins, apart from the 7th-century Sasanian queen Boran'
 * A few cases of citations out of order ([19][8], [25][13], [33][25][34])
 * Eh, not sure I understand this. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:04, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * References need to be put in such an order that the numbers are also in order, e.g. ref #8 before #ref 19, so that what appears is [8][19]. It is a MOS issue. Constantine  ✍  16:35, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Work is needed in the references:
 * What is the missing volume number in the Brosius reference? What is the meaning of "London et al."? "Et al." is used for multiple authors, not locations.
 * Unfortunately the volume isn't mentioned in the source. I'm not sure myself what the "London et al." bit is, lol - removed it. --HistoryofIran (talk) 13:42, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Why are some Iranica articles capitalized and some not? Why are some given as the "Iranica Online" and others not?
 * Ops, removed the Online bit. --HistoryofIran (talk) 13:37, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Generally, it looks in good shape. Have made some observations above, when these are done I will do another read-through. A nice article. Constantine  ✍  07:32, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Be consistent in including a publication location or not (I suggest you do)
 * Be consistent in formatting the ISBN references
 * Books should be in alphabetical order by their authors. Frye 1983 should go before Frye 1984, Rapp 2014 appears double.
 * Thoughts on the current state of the article? --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:42, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi HistoryofIran, my concerns above have been indeed addressed. Some final minor issues:

 * Bahram II was the first Sasanian ruler to have coins minted of his family. Qualify this somewhat, as it is not entirely certain.
 * Done. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:00, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

 * the first shah to have coins minted of his family this implies that others followed in his footsteps. Is that so?
 * No, it seems he was the first and last - changed it. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:00, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

 * in the 'Map of the southeastern Sasanian provinces', I'd recommend adding in parentheses to the caption which modern countries these correspond to, and adding the names of at least a few major landmarks to the map (the Indus river, Persian Gulf, etc.).
 * Done. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:00, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Is there no suitable map of the Roman-Sasanian frontier area, or Mesopotamia, for this period? It would help to illustrate Carus' invasion. In the same sense, a map of the entirety of the Sasanian Empire would also be helpful.
 * Not as far as I know unfortunately. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:00, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

 * In citing Iranica, I'd recommend following the pattern laid out in the Iranica website, i.e. Encyclopædia Iranica (with the æ), online edition, New York
 * Done. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:00, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Otherwise, this is good to go. Well done! Constantine  ✍  12:57, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Did some tweaks here and there.

I've had another look, my concerns have been addressed, and nothing else came to my attention. Therefore I am passing this now. Well done, HistoryofIran! Constantine  ✍  17:37, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Llamacon (2nd nomination)

I wasn't aware of the DRV - I check it periodically of course, but as I wasn't mentioned by name it didn't click that I had closed that debate and it wasn't a DRV debate which "grabbed" me in any way. I'll just say why I closed it delete (it was one of my first closures, incidentally). The numbers were low, but with 4 delete and 1 keep I felt that - given I didn't expect it to be a controversial issue - they were enough to represent numerical consensus. I then considered the debate itself. I think conventions are per se not notable, especially first year conventions; they happen all around the world with great frequency and we can't document them all. I considered the new evidence, which was that it appeared in a community newspaper (a high circulation one, yes, but a community paper nonetheless). This I felt proved nothing; in my experience local paper coverage for any event involving more than 10 people (and often for less) is all but guaranteed if they're doing their job properly. The mention of some blue link names didn't sway me in the least; we're not a celeb tracker and we don't document everything done by blue linked people or every appearance they make. In summation then, I felt that the "deletes" had it in both numbers and strength of argument. All that said, I welcome this second AFD. --kingboyk 08:13, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Why unicorns don't exist Have you ever read the bible? If you did then you have probably heard the story of Noah's arc. This story links to unicorns. Here is how it links:

God told Noah to build an arc due to a flood. He also told Noah to take his family and the animals with him to somewhere safe. So Noah listened to god and made the arc.Right after he finished with the arc he started to pack the animals and his family up.But there was thing he was missing and that was unicorns. On the day of the big flood Noah woke up early and it finally hit him that he should grab the unicorns. But sadly they way to far to reach and Noah had to leave. So he left with the others on the arc and left the unicorns. So after they left the unicorns got wiped out. That is why you don't see unicorns prancing around today.

JavaScript/Debugging Challenges

These debugging challenges are written in JavaScript, and designed to complement the units: ICAB4225A Automate processes and ICAT4221A Locate equipment, system and software faults

Challenge Set 1 - Lexical Errors
Lexical errors are introduced when the programmer enters symbols that are not part of the programming language. Unlike when you misspell a word in English, this inevitably leads to a breakdown in programming communications. See if you can see (or find) the lexical errors in the following code snippets...

1 2 3 4 5

Challenge Set 2 - Syntactic Errors
A syntax error occurs when you use the right symbols, but in a way that doesn't make sense to the compiler or interpreter. Something like the English sentence: "You don't program good"

1 2 3 4 5 6

Challenge Set 3 - Execution Errors
Execution errors occur when the program has the correct syntax and lexicon, but you're making the wrong requests to get the results you desire.

1 2 3 4

Challenge Set 4 - Logic Errors
These are errors introduced Through faulty design. Once again, the syntax is correct, but the results are unexpected, usually because you haven't considered the data being processed. These are the hardest errors to spot, and often the most expensive to correct.

Wikipedia:Sleeper account

A sleeper account is an account that has not edited in a long time and has essentially lain dormant. Technically, a sleeper account is still enabled and it is still possible to use it. However, any such use of an account must conform to Wikipedia guidelines, particularly those of sockpuppetry.

Definition
No specific period without editing makes an account a sleeper. "Sleeper" is an informal term for an account that currently appears to be dormant. Many editors take long, unannounced breaks from editing or edit rarely, but they may return to Wikipedia after a long absence of weeks, months, or even years. Provided the account is in good standing and that the same person is not deceptively operating another account, which may violate sockpuppetry guidelines, there is no objection to resuming editing after a long absence. A large majority of auto-confirmed accounts on Wikipedia are inactive (sleeper) accounts.

Cause
An account would become a sleeper if the owner does not use it to edit. The reasons may be personal and individual in each case. It could mean loss of interest in editing Wikipedia, a lack of time, or simply not feeling a desire to edit for a long time. One may edit seasonally. Others take long wikibreaks.

An account may permanently cease to edit if the user has died or has decided to never edit Wikipedia again. There may be no way of knowing this, since Wikipedia is anonymous. It is also possible the user abandoned the account to start a new one. This can occur if the user wishes to have a clean start, has forgotten their password, or has forgotten the name of the account.

An account can be created for the sole purpose of sockpuppetrythe disallowed use of multiple accounts at the same time. A sock puppet may perform a number of "good" edits to suggest it is a normal user, become dormant for some time, then awaken later.

Treatment
As long as a sleeper account is in good standing, and all account usage guidelines are followed, the user has the right to resume using the account at any time, even after years of absence. The user retains the right to the username indefinitely.

Communicating with the owner of a sleeper account may be impossible or difficult if the owner leaves no other contact information behind.

It is possible that the owner of a sleeper account is active, frequently checking that account's watchlist and/or talk page for activity, but never logs on, or never edits while logged on. (See also Lurker.) That account has no visible activity. Logging on, but not editing, though uncommon, is identifiable activity.

Revival
If you are the owner of a sleeper account, you are welcome to revive it at any time, provided you follow Wikipedia guidelines pertaining to multiple accounts. Once you do so, you may resume using the account like normal.

You may find that some articles you created or edited have been deleted when you weren't looking. If you want to know why, see Why was the page I created deleted?

You may find quite a lot has changed. A watchlist can only show the most recent 30 days of edits. But you can examine the individual edits of a page if you wish. Be aware that various policies and guidelines may have changed significantly in your absence.

You may find some messages that one or more editors have left for you, and they may pertain to deletion or something else. If the message is about an article that was proposed for deletion, you may need to ask an administrator to retrieve the article and put it into the Draft namespace, where it can be improved with an effort to put it back into the encyclopedia.

There is always the possibility that a sleeper account could be taken over by a malevolent person, who might then use the account for unacceptable purposes such as sockpuppetry or vandalism.

 * 3) copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on another CD.

Talk:Pokémon the Series: XY Kalos Quest

Kalos Quest
Apparently the European iTunes store has began digitally releasing the season with the subtitle "Kalos Quest". However it isn't uncommon for European releases of anime to get different names at times. Based on the recent edits, Google searches reveal that most fan-based websites have rushed to take this title, but until we have a source with a North American release, I suggest waiting before we change the title. —Kirt Message 01:21, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Agreed. This is likely how the European dubs want to name it.  Since this is the English Wikipedia, it's inappropriate to add Kalos Quest.  Not until it actually starts showing up in the anime itself with the English dubs.—cyberpower Chat:Limited Access 03:18, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Very premature move. We are facing yet another troublesome naming scheme. The title of this article is now absolutely ridiculous. Not only does iTunes in no way dictate the common name of a series but this new title now has two colons. More importantly previous Pokemon episode names have never been decided by their digitally released counterparts. —Kirt Message 16:26, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Sunken Ship episode
I'm still of the opinion that that episode should be moved back to the spot when it was originally scheduled to air and not when it actually aired. It is completely out of sequence.—cyberpower Chat:Limited Access 03:25, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah but that's where TV Tokyo and Cartoon Network decided to put it though. It even uses the updated opening video in the Japanese version. —Kirt Message 03:56, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Aside from that though, the plot is consistent with the original placement and not now. Putting it here causes way too many inconsistencies.—cyberpower Chat:Limited Access 14:23, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Colour contrast problems
It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.

To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.

To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour.

List of Pokémon: XY episodes (part 2) → List of Pokémon: XY: Kalos Quest episodes – So this has been quite a controversial subject since the anime logos don't use this, however per this link to the official site, it is indeed an endorsed name for this season of Pokemon. I've been one to always move back along with Kirt but more people want to move it to the new name. I'm having a change of opinion after finding this link, so I am opening this discussion to renaming this season, season 18 of pokemon to the new title. —cyberpower  Chat:Online 20:08, 7 October 2015 (UTC) --Relisted.

User:Fubsadoo/Introduction to Being A Kid

Intro
Being a kid is about having a sense of awe and wonder. It's about being able to see things as they are, without any prejudices that people pick up through life.

Things To Do
Here are some fun things to do that are best done with friends who are completely stressed.

Play With Food
Get some toast and add food colouring and vanilla extract. Cut a carrot into sticks and build a model with them, sticking them together with chocolate spread. Make the biggest sandwich the world has ever seen. You'll only do it once - doing it twice ruins it - so it doesn't matter if it rots your teeth or makes you sick.

Look At The Clouds
Lie down on the ground and look up. Figure out what each cloud is, then make up ridiculous stories about them. Go bananas.

Look At The Sky
On a clear night, see how many stars you can see. Sure, find the real constellations, but they'll never be as good as the ones you make up.

Make A Dust Ball
Collect fluff. Computers are good for it, as well as the places that don't get dusted properly.

Lesson Objective

 * 1) Have a laugh. Or a smile, at least.
 * 2) Get your imagination going.

 * ALT1: ... that Northwestern University English and Religion Professor Barbara Newman has written a book about the veneration of Goddesses in medieval Christianity?

Created by Altenmaeren (talk). Self nominated at 12:32, 11 February 2015 (UTC).

 * Symbol possible vote.svg Can we improve the balance in this article. She seems to be a brilliant person with a brilliant book. Is there not someone who doesn't agree with this religious historian (or does she not tackle controversy?) :-) Oh and can it be used for Womens History Month when approved? Victuallers (talk) 00:08, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

 * thanks for having a look! I'm trying to find some controversy, but it's surprisingly hard -- I guess if she were a theologian it would be different. There was a conference she organized a few years back on Goddesses that might've had some controversy. Anyhow, yes, I'd love to have this be a part of women's history month if I can get it approved.

She's highly thought off and heavily referenced in her field (search Google with the "More...Books" option).  Long enough, new enough, referenced (though the existing references could be improved by giving fuller citations); quotations are used appropriately, no copyvios, hook is okay, but not exciting -- here's an alt (I added an idea from the review cited to support this one).
 * ALT2: ... that medieval scholar Barbara Newman suggests that female "creations of the Christian imagination" deepened the medieval vision of God? Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 22:05, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I like the direction User:Mary Mark Ockerbloom is taking in ALT2, but the hook needs to be spelled out a bit more, like:

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Independent reviewer still needed. Altenmaeren, you're certainly allowed to express your opinion of whether you like a hook proposed for your own nomination, and DYK gives a certain amount of deference to a nominator's wishes in that regard. However, no nominator can ever give final approval to his or her own nomination, or to anything within it like a hook, and that's what the tick mark you used says. The same rule H2 that Yoninah cited to Mary Mark applies to you as well.  BlueMoonset (talk) 12:54, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Auce

Auce (Aukė; Alt-Autz) is a town in southern Latvia, in the Dobele Municipality situated near the Lithuanian border.

History
Before the 13th century, the territory of Auce was a part of a Semigallian Spārnene county. After the partition of Semigallia in 1254, the territory was granted to the Archbishopric of Riga. Auce is first mentioned in written sources in 1426 as Owcze. In 1616, the Old Auce (Alt-Autz) manor is mentioned for the first time when there was a regional assembly that was held (landtag) of the Duchy of Courland. In 1667, the first Lutheran church was erected in Auce. From 1768 until the Latvian agrarian reforms in the 1920s, the Old Auce manor was property of the Baltic German von Medem family.

Auce village started rapid development after the construction of the Jelgava-Mažeikiai railway in 1889. During the World War I, Auce was occupied by the Imperial German army. The Germans established an aviation school and airfield (Artillerie-Fliegerschule Ost I) nearby.

After the Latvian War of Independence, Auce became part of the Republic of Latvia. In 1920, Old Auce manor was nationalised, and it became the property of the University of Latvia, to be used as a teaching farm for students of agriculture. In 1924, Auce received town rights. Auce has been the centre of the Auce municipality. But in 2021, Auce Municipality was merged with the Dobele Municipality.

Bigeye thresher

The bigeye thresher (Alopias superciliosus) is a species of thresher shark, family Alopiidae, found in temperate and tropical oceans worldwide. Like the other thresher sharks, nearly half its total length consists of the elongated upper lobe of the tail fin. Its common name comes from its enormous eyes, which are placed in keyhole-shaped sockets that allow them to be rotated upward. This species can also be distinguished by a pair of deep grooves on the top of its head, from which its scientific name is derived.

The large eyes of the bigeye thresher are adapted for hunting in low light conditions. It is one of the few sharks that conduct a diel vertical migration, staying in deep water during the day and moving into surface waters at night to feed. To protect its sensitive brain and eyes from the temperature changes accompanying these movements, the bigeye thresher has a vascular exchange system called the rete mirabile around those organs. This species feeds mainly on fish and squid, which are stunned via whip-like strikes of the long tail. Bigeye threshers are ovoviviparous, usually bearing litters of two pups. The embryos are oophagous and feed on ova produced by the mother while inside the uterus. This shark is caught by commercial fisheries across its range; the meat is not highly regarded but the skin, fins, and liver oil are valued. It has been assessed as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

Taxonomy and phylogeny
British biologist Richard Thomas Lowe was the first to scientifically describe the bigeye thresher, in papers published in Proceedings of the Royal Society of London (1840) and Transactions of the Zoological Society of London (1849, sometimes given as 1839). He based his description on a specimen caught off Madeira in the eastern Atlantic Ocean. However, Lowe's description was subsequently overlooked by researchers and this species was known by different names until the 1940s, when new specimens from Cuba and Florida prompted its original scientific name to be resurrected. The specific epithet superciliosus is from the Latin super meaning "above", and ciliosus meaning "eyebrow", referring to the distinct lateral grooves above the eyes.

An allozyme analysis conducted by Blaise Eitner in 1995 showed that the closest relative of the bigeye thresher is the pelagic thresher (A. pelagicus), with which it forms a clade. Fossil remains of the bigeye thresher dating to the Middle Miocene (16.0–11.6 Ma) have been found in the Hokuriku region of Japan.

Distribution and habitat
The bigeye thresher has a virtually circumtropical distribution. In the western Atlantic Ocean, it has been reported from New York to Florida, the Caribbean, Venezuela, Tobago and southern Brazil. In the eastern Atlantic, it is known from Portugal, Madeira, Senegal, Guinea to Sierra Leone, Angola, and the Mediterranean Sea. In the western Indian Ocean, it occurs off South Africa, Madagascar, and the Arabian Sea. In the Pacific Ocean, it is known from southern Japan, Taiwan, New Caledonia, northwestern Australia, and New Zealand, and eastward to Hawaii, southern California, the Gulf of California, and west of the Galapagos Islands. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA has shown that Atlantic and Indo-Pacific populations are somewhat genetically divergent from each other.

Bigeye threshers are usually found over the continental shelf and in the open sea, though they are occasionally encountered in shallow coastal waters. They occur in surface temperatures of 16 - 25 C, but have been tracked as far down as 723 m, where the temperature is only 5 °C. Little is known of their geographical movements; one individual has been documented moving from New York to the Gulf of Mexico, a straight-line distance of 2767 km.

Description
The eyes of the bigeye thresher can measure up to 10 cm across in adults. Each eye is taller than wide, with a bulbous upper portion. The orbits extend onto the dorsal surface of the head, allowing the eyes to orient upwards. There are also a pair of distinctive lateral grooves that extend from above the eyes to over the gill slits, giving it a "helmet"-like appearance. The snout is moderately long and bulbous, and there are no labial furrows at the corners of the mouth. The teeth are moderately large with a single, narrow cusp. There are 19–24 teeth in the upper jaw and 20–24 teeth in the lower jaw; their shapes are similar in both jaws. There are large and small dermal denticles, with the smaller ones more numerous and interspersed amongst the larger ones. The smaller denticles taper to a point.

Up to half the body length is taken up by the long upper lobe of the caudal fin, which is broader than in other threshers. The large pectoral fins have a curved anterior margin and broad tips. The first dorsal fin is placed further back than in the other thresher sharks, with the free rear tip located above or just before the pelvic fins. Its coloration is a deep, metallic violet to purplish brown above and creamy white below. This color rapidly fades to a dull gray after death. Most bigeye threshers are 3.3 - 4.0 m long and weigh 160 kg. The largest known bigeye thresher measured 4.9 m long and weighed 364 kg, and was caught near Tutukaka, New Zealand, in February 1981.

Biology and ecology
The size and upward orientation of the bigeye thresher's eyes are adapted to search for the silhouettes of prey in dim light. This species is one of a handful of shark species that conducts a diel vertical migration, spending daytime in deeper water between 300 - 500 m, beneath the thermocline where the temperature ranges from 6 to 12 C, and ascending above it to water less than 100 m deep during nighttime. This migration likely relates to finding prey at night and avoiding predators during the day. The sharks' daytime swimming patterns are usually steady, while at night they have a pattern of slow ascents and rapid descents.

Bigeye threshers are likely preyed upon by larger sharks and marine mammals. Known parasites of the bigeye thresher include the copepod Pagina tunica, and the tapeworm Litobothrium janovyi. Sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) have been seen attached near the cloaca of this shark. The bigeye thresher appears to be an ecological competitor of the blue shark (Prionace glauca), and the numbers of the two species are negatively correlated such as that only one of two occurs in any given location.

Feeding
The bigeye thresher has larger teeth than other threshers and feeds on a wider variety of prey. Known food items include schooling forage fish such as mackerel and herring, benthic fishes such as hake and whiting, larger pelagic fishes such as lancetfish and small billfish, squid such as lycoteuthids and ommastrephids, and possibly crab megalopae. They likely use their long tails to stun their prey prior to capture, as they are often found hooked by their tails on longlines and with the bait fish in their stomachs. The shape of their eye sockets give them binocular vision in an upward direction to better aim their strikes. In the Mediterranean, they are strongly associated with schools of frigate mackerel (Auxis rochei), suggesting that these sharks follow concentrations of their prey from place to place. It is said that the bigeye thresher uses its long tail to smack down birds.

Life history
Like other mackerel sharks, bigeye threshers are ovoviviparous and bear litters of two pups, one in each uterus. Very rarely, the litter size may be one, three, or four. There is no defined breeding season and most adult females are pregnant throughout the year without any apparent lag time between pregnancies. The gestation period is unknown. The developing fetuses are initially nourished by a yolk sac, and later on exhibit oophagy, in which they consume infertile eggs produced by their mother (and possibly also uterine fluid). There is no evidence of sibling cannibalism as in the sand tiger shark (Carcharias taurus). Unborn embryos are similar in appearance to adults, with proportionally larger heads and eyes. They are covered with a thin layer of epithelium that prevents the uterine wall from being abraded by the embryo's sharp dermal denticles; this has not been observed in the young of other thresher sharks. The young measure 1.35 - 1.4 m long at birth. Males mature at a length around 2.7 - 2.9 m and at an age of 9–10 years, while females mature at a length around 3.3 - 3.6 m and at an age of 12–14 years. The maximum lifespan of this species is believed to be 19 years for a male and 20 years for a female. A female bigeye thresher is estimated to produce only 20 young over her entire life.

Thermoregulation
There is conflicting evidence on whether the bigeye thresher is warm-bodied like the common thresher (A. vulpinus). In a 1971 study, Carey et al. probed the swimming muscles of two bigeye threshers with a thermistor needle and reported finding a temperature elevation of 1.8 and 4.3 C compared to the ambient environment. However, an anatomical examination conducted by Sepulveda et al. in 2005 found that though the bigeye thresher possesses the aerobic red muscles responsible for generating heat in the common thresher, these muscles are arranged in two strips along the flanks just beneath the skin, as opposed to near the core of the body. There is also no blood vessel countercurrent exchange system (the rete mirabile) in the trunk to limit the loss of metabolic heat to the water. Based on these differences, the authors questioned earlier measurements and concluded it was unlikely that the bigeye thresher maintains an elevated body temperature. The bigeye thresher does possess a highly developed rete system around its brain and eyes. This is thought to function in buffering those sensitive organs against temperature changes during the shark's daily migrations up and down the water column, which can be as much as 15 –.

Human interactions
The bigeye thresher shark is rarely encountered by divers underwater and poses no danger. This species is or was taken by longline fisheries operated by many countries, including the United States, Japan, Spain, Brazil, Uruguay, and Mexico, and constitutes about 10% of the pelagic shark catch. The bigeye thresher comprises 20% of the longline catch off Cuba, where it is attracted at night using cyalume sticks (chemical lights). It is also significant to Taiwanese fisheries, which land about 220 metric tons annually. The meat is marketed fresh, smoked, or dried and salted, though it is not highly regarded due to its mushy texture. The skin is used to make leather products, the liver oil for vitamins, and the fins for shark fin soup.

In the waters of the United States, this species is considered a nuisance bycatch of longlines, gillnets, and trawls. It is also occasionally caught in shark nets around beaches in South Africa. Along with the other thresher species, the bigeye thresher is listed as a game fish by the International Game Fish Association (IGFA), and is pursued by recreational anglers off the United States, South Africa, and New Zealand. The bigeye thresher is highly susceptible to over-exploitation due to its low lifetime fecundity. All three thresher shark species were assessed as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2007. In New Zealand, the Department of Conservation has classified the bigeye thresher shark as "Not Threatened" under the New Zealand Threat Classification System.

Precious Plastic

Precious Plastic is an open hardware plastic recycling project and is a type of open source digital commons project. The project was started in 2013 by Dave Hakkens and is now in its fourth iteration. It relies on a series of machines and tools which grind, melt, and inject recycled plastic, allowing for the creation of new products out of recycled plastic on a small scale.

History
In 2012, Dave Hakkens started working on Precious Plastic as a part of his studies at the Design Academy in Eindhoven. The project was released in 2013 as Version 1.0.

The work on version 2 was started in 2015 and was released in March 2016. In 2016, Precious Plastic also created a marketplace called Bazar for selling machines and products targeted to DIY designers to recycle plastic.

The team started working on version 3.0 from early 2017 and was launched in October 2017.

In May 2018, Precious Plastic received the Famae award of €300,000 to further develop the project. The city of Eindhoven also provided them a big workspace free of charge. In October 2018, Precious Plastic project officially opened its doors at the VDMA building in Eindhoven. The work on Version 4.0 was started in September 2018.

In 2019 Hakkens and Precious Plastic were involved in disagreement over whether to burn or recycle plastics collected from the oceans.

The version 4, which includes business models and starter kits for creating recycling systems, was announced in January 2020.

In December 2020, One Army was launched as an umbrella organization for a growing collection of projects including Precious Plastic, Project Kamp, PhoneBloks, Fixing Fashion, and Story Hopper.

Fixing Fashion was launched in March 2021.

Description
Precious Plastic is an open hardware plastic recycling project and is a type of open source digital commons project. It relies on a series of machines and tools which grind, melt, and inject recycled plastic, allowing for the creation of new products out of recycled plastic on a small scale. The project allows individual consumers to set up "their own miniature recycling company".

The project is composed of more than 40,000 people in over 400 work spaces, either remotely or on site in the Netherlands. All the information produced by the project such as codes, drawings, and source materials are available for free online under the Creative Commons Attribution - Share Alike International 4.0 license.

Related projects
Precious Plastic Fiji was formed in 2017 as a NGO dedicated to eliminating plastic waste.

In 2018 after a workshop in China, a company, Plastplan, grew out of the Precious Plastic project in Iceland to promote an alternative to shipping plastic to Sweden to be burned for electricity.

In Hawaii in 2019, Puna Precious Plastic, with more than 1,000 members as a part of the Precious Plastic worldwide movement, collected about 1,000 pounds, which it planned to sort, shred and melt into plastic bricks and lumber for construction.

In Thailand, Precious Plastic Bangkok collects plastic bottle caps to shred, melt, and reshape into new products, including monk's robes.

With a grant from Dane County Arts and partnered with Community GroundWorks, the nonprofit that oversees Troy Kids’ Garden, and hackerspace Sector 67, a branch of Precious Plastic was launched in Madison, Wisconsin.

In September 2021, One Army announced a "Verified" Precious Plastic workspaces program to give recognition to "high quality recycling work". Many locations around the world were listed.

University involvement
In 2018, a group called Precious Plastic Texas was formed by students at the University of Texas after learning about what was being done in Thailand. In 2019 students in the Environmental Fellows Program's gateway seminar at DePauw University in Indiana began work on a Precious Plastic project, and received funding from the Joseph and Carol Danks Centers Council Fund for Multidisciplinary Projects. The project will continue in a gateway seminar and three art classes, and they may add an off-campus trip to a Precious Plastic site. In Australia, UNSW business school students, working closely with Precious Plastic, won the 2019 Big Idea competition in the postgraduate category with their start-up idea called Closed Loop – a local-level plastic waste recycling business. Engineering students at the Monash University chapter created a Precious Plastic one-metre cube portable recycling machine to transport to events for display.

Princess Margaret Hospital for Children

Princess Margaret Hospital for Children (PMH) is a former children's hospital and centre for paediatric research and care located in Perth, Western Australia. It was the state's only specialist children's hospital until it closed in 2018, coinciding with the opening of the new Perth Children's Hospital that was built to replace it. Together with the Child and Adolescent Community Health Division, it made up the Child and Adolescent Health Service.

Formerly located on Roberts Road in Subiaco, Western Australia, the hospital had approximately 220 beds and served 300,000 patients per year.

History
PMH originated as the Perth Children's Hospital in 1909 after 12 years of community fundraising. The original facilities included 40 beds, an operating theatre and outpatient department. The name Princess Margaret Hospital for Children was adopted in 1949, in honour of Princess Margaret, sister of Queen Elizabeth II.

In 1994 the organisational structure for the Princess Margaret Hospital for Children and King Edward Memorial Hospital's merged (but not their locations). In 2002 that organisation was renamed Women's and Children's Health Service. In 2006, the two hospitals were once again separated.

In 2008, the state government announced that a new children's hospital would be built to replace Princess Margaret Hospital for Children. Following the completion of the new Perth Children's Hospital in May 2018, and the opening of its emergency department, Princess Margaret Hospital closed its doors on 10 June 2018, and all patients were transferred to the new hospital.

In March 2021 major demolition works began at the former hospital site; however two heritage-listed buildings, Godfrey House and the Old Outpatients Building were preserved as well as the hospital's boiler house and chimney stack. The demolition works were completed in October 2022. The cleared site will then become part of the ongoing Subi East redevelopment.

"Cannot be fully repaired due to the boiler being filled with asbestos." Do we have a source for this as surely the asbestos can simply be removed, as with almost every other steam locomotive restoration? DiverScout (talk) 10:25, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

User:Lilylover

Hello, Bonjour, and Hola. This is Lilylover's userpage. She's just starting out, but is extremely (to the point of obsession) interested in religion, politics, LGBT issues, gender roles and mythology. Very interested in psychology, she plans on studying it in college, and is very interested in the history of it. A radical bisexual womanist, she will probably argue with many other users and will make her peeves against awkward sentence structure known. She likes to think she's skilled in writing. dance, and art. She created this page while sick and staying home from a night out with the family to find sources for a frustrating essay on The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. She loves fiction, sculpture, Jim Henson and various eclectic subjects too numerous for her to remember to type up, but will probably comment on and edit pages relevant to them anyway.
