Poetry/Practice/The Fool

~Mephisto, to Me and Us~

Look before me, to the shining soul and see that for which my mind evades, For which it seeks divorced of heart, And in the shield of logic, finds a certain... selfish.... safety.

Look in that soul, look in thine self. Is even your heart so soon forsaken? Or in the trap that breeds but weakness, Is there, maybe, strength?

For flawless logic failed to account, Failed to take in mind. A thing both wise and widely known, To those who know their kind:

To know that for all his Faults, the Fool can stand And aid in the aid of a helping Hand

Good Fool... Remember: “Omnia vincit amor”

Cyclone Hikaa

Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Hikaa was a tropical cyclone that struck eastern Oman in September 2019. The third named storm of the 2019 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Hikaa formed on September 22 west of India in the Arabian Sea. The storm reached peak intensity on September 24, with maximum sustained winds estimated over 140 km/h. Later that day, the storm made landfall in eastern Oman south of Duqm, and quickly dissipated over the Arabian Peninsula. The name Hikaa was named by Maldives, which refers to the 'scorpion' in Maldivian.

Meteorological history
An area of convection, or thunderstorms, persisted along the west coast of India on September 19. A distinct low-pressure area developed a day later off the coast of Maharashtra. By September 21, a circulation was consolidating within the system, located east of the heaviest convection. The system moved slowly westward across the Arabian Sea, steered by a ridge to north. Warm water temperatures favored further development, despite moderate wind shear. Early on September 22, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) designated the system as a depression, and soon upgraded it to a deep depression. Late on September 22, the American-based Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) initiated advisories on the system, designating it Tropical Cyclone 03A. At the time, the storm had a compact area of thunderstorms, supported by outflow from the south. Due to decreasing wind shear and warm, moist air, the system quickly intensified on September 23, prompting the IMD to upgrade the system to Cyclonic Storm Hikaa; later that day the agency upgraded the storm further to a severe cyclonic storm. During the strengthening phase, an eye feature formed in the center of the convection, indicative of strengthening.

Considering the storm a "midget tropical cyclone", the JTWC upgraded Hikaa to the equivalent of hurricane status late on September 23, while the storm was approaching eastern Oman. The IMD followed suit, upgrading Hikaa to a very severe cyclonic storm on September 24, estimating peak winds of 140 km/h. Around the same time, the JTWC estimated peak 1 minute winds of 155 km/h, based in part on the 26 km (16 mi) eye in the center of the convection. As Hikaa was nearing land, the eye deteriorated, and the JTWC assessed that the storm weakened. The IMD meanwhile assessed that the cyclone maintained its peak intensity. Around 14:00 UTC on September 24, Hikaa made landfall in eastern Oman just north of Duqm, becoming the first very severe cyclonic storm on record to strike the country in September. Before Hikaa, only two depressions had struck Oman in the month of September, in 1929 and 1979. The storm quickly weakened over land, as dry air and land interaction diminished the convection. Early on September 25, the IMD downgraded Hikaa to a deep depression, and later to a low-pressure area, by which time the storm was near the border of Oman and Saudi Arabia.

Preparations and impact
While Hikaa was first forming, the IMD warned fishermen of the potential of high waves. Officials in Oman advised residents to prepare for the storm and to avoid low-lying areas. In advance of the storm, all schools were closed in Al Wusta and South Sharqiyah governorates. Ferry service to the offshore Masirah Island was canceled. About 750 people evacuated to nine shelters in Al Wusta Governorate, where Hikaa moved ashore.

In Duqm near where Hikaa struck Oman, the airport recorded sustained winds of 96 km/h (60 mph), with gusts to 124 km/h (77 mph). Hikaa dropped heavy rainfall as it struck eastern Oman, reaching 80 mm in some locations. The storm also produced 3 to 4 m waves. A deep-sea fishing boat with a crew of 11 capsized off of Masirah Island during the storm; there were five confirmed fatalities from the shipwreck, and one person was rescued. On the Omani mainland, Hikaa flooded roads and wadis – typically dry riverbeds. In Haima, six people required rescue when they were trapped on a bus in floodwaters. Aon estimated the damage total in the "millions", based on hundreds of properties reporting damage.

Anahí Ester Sánchez

Anahí Ester Sánchez (born 21 July 1991) is an Argentine professional boxer. She is a three-weight world champion, having held the IBF female super-featherweight title in 2016; the WBA female lightweight title in 2017; and the WBA female super lightweight title in 2019. She also held the WBA interim female featherweight title in 2015 and the WBA interim female super-lightweight title from 2018 to 2019, and challenged for the WBC and IBF female super-featherweight, and WBC female super-lightweight titles between 2016 and 2019.

Professional career
Sánchez made her professional debut on 15 November 2013, scoring a first-round technical knockout (TKO) victory against Lorena Noemi Gomez at the Gimnasio Municipal in Pergamino, Argentina.

After compiling a record of 6–0 (2 KOs) she faced Maria Soledad Capriolo for the vacant South American super featherweight title on 15 May 2015, at the Gimnasio Municipal. Sánchez defeated Capriolo via first-round knockout (KO) to capture her first professional title.

Featherweight
After three more wins, one by stoppage, she faced former IBF female featherweight and reigning WBA interim female featherweight champion Dahiana Santana on 14 August 2015 at the Club Comunaciones in Pergamino. Sánchez captured her first title from a major sanctioning body, albeit an interim version, after defeating Santana by a wide unanimous decision (UD) over ten rounds. One judge scored the bout 99–91 while the other two scored it 97–93.

Super featherweight
She successfully defended her interim title with a third-round TKO against Ana Maria Lozano in November, before facing Areti Mastrodouka for the vacant IBF female super featherweight title on 19 March 2016 at the Club Comunicaciones. Sánchez captured her first full world title, scoring a fifth-round stoppage victory via corner retirement (RTD) after Mastrodouka informed her corner that she no longer wished to continue at the end of the round.

After defending her IBF title with a majority decision (MD) victory against Tamara Marianela Nuñez in July, Sánchez was stripped of the title after it was revealed the promoter of the fight failed to obtain the necessary licences.

In her next fight she challenged WBC female super featherweight champion Eva Wahlström on 17 December 2016 at the Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, Finland. Sánchez suffered the first defeat of her professional career, losing by UD with judges' scorecards reading 98–92 and 97–94 twice.

She bounced back from defeat with a first-round TKO victory against Verena Crespo in March 2017, before attempting to regain the IBF title, she was stripped of, facing reigning champion Maïva Hamadouche on 18 May at the Cirque d'hiver in Paris, France. Sánchez failed in her attempt, losing by fourth-round TKO.

Lightweight
Following her second professional defeat she moved up a division to lightweight, defeating Maria Carina Brito via first-round knockout (KO). Sánchez' second fight at her new weight came against Cecilia Sofia Mena for the vacant WBA female lightweight title on 9 September 2017 at the Club Defensores de Villa Lujan in San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina. Sánchez defeated Mena via sixth-round TKO, capturing the WBA title to become a two-weight world champion.

Two days after capturing the WBA title, British promoter Eddie Hearn announced that a deal had been made for Sánchez to face 2012 Olympic gold medalist Katie Taylor on 28 October 2017 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, live on Sky Sports Box Office as part of the undercard for Anthony Joshua vs. Kubrat Pulev (Pulev was later replaced by Carlos Takam). Before the fight, Sánchez was stripped of her title for failing to weigh in under the lightweight limit, meaning the WBA title would only be on the line of Taylor. In a fight which saw Sánchez dropped to the canvas from a left hand to the ribs in the second round, she went on to suffer her third professional defeat, losing by a wide UD with all three judges scoring the bout 99–90.

Super lightweight
Following the defeat to Taylor, Sánchez once again moved up in weight to the super lightweight division. Her first fight at the weight was a fifth-round KO victory against Ruth Stephanie Aquino in February 2018. Sánchez next fought former world title challenger Diana Ayala for the vacant WBA interim female super lightweight title on 20 April at the Club Comunicaciones. Sánchez defeated Ayala via first-round KO to capture a title in a third division.

After being elevated from interim to full WBA female super lightweight champion, Sánchez faced WBC champion Jessica McCaskill in a unification bout on 25 May 2019 at the MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland. After having success in the first half of the fight, Sánchez went on to lose by a wide UD, with the judges' scorecards reading 98–91, 98–92, and 96–94.

Her next fight was a WBC final eliminator—with the winner securing a shot at former conqueror Jessica McCaskill—against former IBO female lightweight champion Chantelle Cameron on 9 November 2019 at the York Hall in London, England. Sánchez suffered a knockdown in the ninth round en route to a wide UD defeat, with two judges scoring the bout 100–89 and the third scoring it 99–90.

Talk:Physics Study Guide/Force

Observations below are absolutely correct and need to be adopted.

Sure kr06 09:53, 7 January 2006 (UTC)sunil

I have already edited this page (a few minutes ago) in order to clarify two equations given on this page. The first one concerns the F = ma form of Newton's Second Law. This is a standard form which appears in most basic textbooks, but it is not the general mathematical form of the Law, because it assumes that the mass is constant. Consequently, I have added some comments to clarify this.

The second clarification concerns the form of the Second Law in terms of change of momentum. In the equation as originally given, the delta p was divided by time; this should actually be "change in time" or "elapsed time". Consequently, I modified the equation to reflect this. I also clarified the comment about the "equality" of these two forms of Newton's Second Law and the statement concerning acceleration being the rate of change of velocity.

The basic reasons for these edits is that the originals were fundamentally in error, and needed to be corrected. I hope the changes make the subject clearer for the reader, as well as being more correct.

 * Would it be helpful to give some examples of forces ? Maybe even define the term "force" ? In particular, I want to avoid giving the false impression that the definition of force is "mass times acceleration". For example, I can push on the bumper of my car with quite a few Newtons of force. But if the parking brake on my car is set, it's not going to move ( a = 0 m/s^2 ). If I just blindly plug numbers into the f=ma equation, I get roughly (20 Newtons) = (1 000 kg)*( 0 m/s^2), which is nonsense. (perhaps we should emphasize that the f=ma formula is the definition of *mass*).

''It's true that $$\mathbf{F} = \frac{d\mathbf{p}}{dt}$$ is really the exact formula. This is approximately equal to F=ma only at speads much less than the speed of light.''

Some examples would really clarify the formula f = ma!

The statement about Einstein should be removed. He can hardly have had anything bad to say about the third law, which just expresses that momentum  is conserved. As for the first and second, they're still fine of you adapt the definition of momentum to p = (gamma) m v.

USS Aurelia

USS Aurelia (AKA-23) was an Artemis-class attack cargo ship in service with the United States Navy from 1944 to 1946. She was scrapped in 1972.

History
Aurelia (AKA-23) was laid down under a Maritime Commission contract (MC hull 1884) on 5 February 1944 at Providence, R.I., by the Walsh-Kaiser Co., Inc.; launched on 4 July 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Roy P. Mills; and acquired and commissioned on 14 October 1944. Her name is Latin and means The Golden One.

1944
In early November 1944, the attack cargo ship got underway for shakedown training in the Chesapeake Bay. She arrived at Norfolk, Va., on the 23d to embark troops and load cargo, sailed on the 28th for Hawaii – via the Panama Canal – and reached Pearl Harbor on 17 December.

1945
Aurelia got underway on 5 January 1945 to carry troops and cargo to Eniwetok and Guam. She returned to Hawaii on 5 February to embark more troops. On the 13th, the ship sailed, via Eniwetok, for the Philippines. She dropped anchor at Leyte on 4 March and began unloading her cargo the next day. On 6 March, she embarked combat troops scheduled to assault Okinawa and got underway for training maneuvers. Three weeks later, the attack cargo ship headed for the Ryukyus. On 1 April, D day for the landings on Okinawa, she entered the transport area and began lowering her boats. Aurelia continued to operate in that embattled area until 14 April when she headed for Saipan. On the 16th, she continued on toward Hawaii. After a four-day stay in Pearl Harbor, the ship sailed for the California coast and arrived at Alameda on 12 May.

The vessel moved to San Diego on 7 June for amphibious training exercises. She began loading her cargo at San Pedro on 24 June and put to sea on the 30th. Aurelia reached Pearl Harbor on 6 July and, 10 days later, sailed for Saipan, via Eniwetok. She returned to Pearl Harbor on 12 August. While she was in port there, word of Japan's capitulation on 15 August reached the ship. Aurelia embarked Marines slated for occupation duty and got underway on 1 September for Japan. The ship debarked her passengers at Sasebo and sailed on 26 September for the Philippines to pick up Army troops and equipment for transportation to Sasebo.

The vessel reached Sasebo on 21 October and was then assigned to the Magic Carpet fleet. She received on board Marine Corps personnel for passage back to the United States and delivered them to San Francisco on 13 November. She stood out to sea on the 29th for her last round-trip voyage to the Orient, embarked another contingent of veterans in Japan, and arrived back in San Francisco on 16 January 1946.

Decommissioning and fate
On 24 January, Aurelia sailed, via the Panama Canal, for the Gulf Coast. She reached New Orleans, La., on 7 February and was decommissioned at Orange, Texas, on 14 March 1946. The ship was then transferred to the Maritime Commission, and her name was struck from the Navy list on 19 June 1946. She was sold for scrap in 1972.

Aurelia earned one battle star for World War II service.

Untitled
From the LGBT article:

Controversy.

"LGBT is not uncontroversial. For example, some transgender and transsexual people do not like the term because they do not believe their cause is the same as that of LGB people; they may also object when an organization adds a T to their acronym when the level of service they actually offer to trans people is questionable. There are also LGB people who don't like the T for the same or similar reasons.

Many people also believe that a sharp distinction should be drawn between sexual orientation and gender identity. GLB concerns the former; TTI concerns the latter.

Similarly, some intersex people want to be included into LGBT groups and would prefer LGBTI; others insist that they are not a part of the LGBT community and would rather not be included in the acronym".

Dlloyd 22:35, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

PS.
As for "pride flag" as a term, there are several different pride flags which represent "sexuality and gender identity-based cultures". I think that it is somewhat misled to suggest that the term "pride flag" refers specifically "to one of the flags of the LGBT movement". The "rainbow flag" does not have exclusive rights to the term.

Restored gallery
I have restored the gallery found in Pride flag. these seem important, and I don't see any reason to remove them from the display on the page. I am assuming they were removed from the display by mistake. Frietjes (talk) 12:55, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
 * The article had an existing gallery. You replaced it with a formatting that increased the size of the flags. I reverted your edit. Now you've again deleted the original gallery with your version. Your new edit, now with size control, displays the flags no different than how they displayed before. This was a needless edit. Furthermore, the summary explanation for your first edit was: "replace per discussion at template talk:flag entry". What discussion? You do not single out whatever discussion you think supported your edit, and the discussions that appear in that talk page do not relate to the gallery that existed in this article. You can't concoct a summary and think that other editors are not going to actually look into it. Pyxis Solitary   yak  20:23, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

File:Vlajka heterosexuálů.png
File:Vlajka heterosexuálů.png shouldn't be on this page, but not really for the reasons mentioned by the anonymous IP. The main reason is that it's a flag for straight people devised by gay people... AnonMoos (talk) 05:00, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Rubber?
Is rubber fetishism a pride flag with the same notability and relevance as the others? I'm not an expert, but it feels out of place. i kan reed (talk) 14:50, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

 * It seems to be fairly well-known within certain BDSM circles, though that's not the same as general notability... AnonMoos (talk) 22:40, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Oh, and it's not an LGBT flag (as previously discussed at Talk:LGBT symbols/Archive 1, so if the gallery is for LGBT flags only, it might be better to remove it... AnonMoos (talk) 22:44, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

Transphobic Lesbian Flag
I was wondering, why the article was changed. Originally, the Lesbian flag was the orange-and-pink flag, while the pink-and-red(ish) flag was labeled under "subculture flags" as the "Lipstick Lesbian flag" and the one with the lipstick smear was labeled as "Lipstick Lesbian (original design)". This was fine the way it was, as the lipstick flag without the lipstick smear has been recently viewed as transphobic and harmful to lesbians. Now, the Lesbian flag is the Transphobic flag while the orange-and-pink is put under "Lesbian (2019)". While technically correct that the flag was made in 2019, it makes it seem like the correct flag to use at all times is the transphobic one. I'm curious as to why it was changed, and if it will be changed back? Zhyena28 (talk) 01:52, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

why is the MAP flag not here?
I feel its a notable enough pride flag to be featured here -- Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 09:22, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

 * I never heard of it before, but a little Googling appears to reveal that it originated as a hoax: etc. AnonMoos (talk) 10:32, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

 * OP was in another thread promoting racial theory. I'm not surprised to see them here promoting other alt-right themes. Disavow per WP:noracists and WP:nonazis. --IronMaidenRocks (talk) 20:59, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Scope of title
The current title of the article could open the potential for inclusion of such things as the "straight pride flag" which has been developed by homophobes. In the spirit of NPOV and encylopedicism, it seems that it would be prudent to add "LGBT" or some other qualifier to the page title to specify. Without that qualifier, the arguments against including such a thing as the "straight pride" flag would lack taxonomic rigor. So, perhaps the article title should be "LGBTQ pride flags" instead of just "pride flags". <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:08, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Alternately, perhaps *mentions* of that flag (as well as the hoax MAP flag) -- without image -- might be warranted perhaps in a "Controversial" subsection. - <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:10, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Is anyone trying to add that flag?---Lilach5 (לילך5) discuss 04:13, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Actually, I wouldn't be against the inclusion of a mention of straight flags in this article, which have been developed by both allies and homophobes. It would be within the scope of the article to mention that such the concept of "pride flags" outside (or even opposing) the LGBTQ community exists, which does not necessarily mean endorsing it. Should straight people have a pride flag? It doesn't matter, because it is not Wikipedia's job to arbitrate that (see WP:SOAPBOX, WP:ADVOCACY, and WP:RGW). ~BappleBusiness[talk] 08:02, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The important thing to remember here is that we can't cover troll flags in a way that gives any appearance of equivalence with genuine pride flags. That doesn't mean that we can't cover them at all but we do have to be very careful when engaging with such bad faith propaganda materials in order to contextualise them clearly and properly for our readers. One possibility would be to have a section called "Parodies, backlash and trolling" for this. That section could explain how such flags are (mis)used as well as showing one or two examples. In my view, all the straight/cis/etc flags fall into this category except for the sincere ally flags, which do have their own issues but at least they are not intended for trolling. DanielRigal (talk) 11:26, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

If you want to include a real heterosexual flag, then feel free, but please do not include the horizontal black-and-white striped flag, which is actually a flag devised for straight people by gay people, and which many heterosexuals would find offensive (due to associations with prison uniforms etc. etc). AnonMoos (talk) 07:22, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

 * That's news to me. I've only ever seen it used in a "straight pride" context but I don't know where it started. Anyway, it doesn't matter. It's a troll flag either way. DanielRigal (talk) 11:16, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
 * There's a high probability that the horizontal black-and-white striped flag was invented to be the background of the "straight ally" flag. There's also a high probability that a heterosexual flag devised by actual heterosexuals would make use of the obvious rich symbolisms available -- Mars and Venus, pink and blue, hearts, etc. etc. -- and would not try to invoke prison uniforms, zebra stripes, or pedestrian crossings. AnonMoos (talk) 23:33, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Do you have evidence for the meaning of the black and white stripes? What I've looked up says the stripes stand for two genders. What you're saying seems to be from the description of the picture, which was written by user Nikki with no citation. The same stripes are present on other LGBT flags, like Agender. I can't find anything on the history of this flag in Scholar or the Wikipedia Library. --IronMaidenRocks (talk) 15:57, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm referring to obvious associations which would occur to many, many people when seeing a pattern of black and white stripes (regardless of what the original intentions may have been). The BDSM "Ownership flag" (i.e. master/slave relationship flag) was designed by its originator Tanos to have black-and-white stripes to specifically invoke prison uniforms or prison bars, but it's hardly an association suitable to heterosexuality.  If heterosexuals were devising a heterosexual flag, it's very hard to see how they would arrive at a design which easily lends itself to such unwanted interpretations, while simultaneously ignoring all the other rich symbolisms available, such as Mars and Venus, pink and blue, moon and sun, etc. etc. etc. AnonMoos (talk) 19:30, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I can't see Tanos' original website and it isn't on the Wayback machine, so all I know is that it looks like prison stripes to you. To every source I've seen, the stripes in black and white represent dichotomy. In the case of the flag you mentioned, the clear dichotomy would be master and slave. Why would BDSM participants be wearing prison clothes? BDSM isn't about prison. Binding is a sexual fetish, and while both prisons and sexual binding involve constraints, they're for two different purposes. Also, I can't find anything on who created the Heterosexual pride flag other than the person who uploaded it to Wikipedia commons. --IronMaidenRocks (talk) 16:18, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Whatever -- I almost certainly know quite a bit more about Tanos than you do, since I was a fairly regular participant on his site for at least two or three years (back when it was still a discussion board site), and Tanos basically blessed as official my SVG vectorizations of his flag designs. Prison role-play or metaphors aren't a large part of BDSM, but they definitely exist, and were one of the things that Tanos had in mind when he designed his flag (other things were a shield for owners, a collar for those owned, which is also the letter "O" for ownership ideology, etc).  And of course, the Tanos Ownership flag existed for years before anyone heard of the horizontal black-and-white striped so-called "straight"[sic] flag.  Tanos was a minor participant on both English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons back in the day, and you could try contacting him on his user talk pages, but I doubt you'd get a reply, since he seems to have mostly withdrawn from the Internet...
 * Also, yet another negative insulting connotation of the horizontal black-and-white striped flag is of course the implication that heterosexuals are dull boring people with monochrome lives, while queers have vivid exciting technicolor lives. The fact that the horizontal black-and-white striped flag has so many obvious negative interpretations is a strong indication that it's a flag for heterosexuals devised by non-heterosexuals (very likely originally as the background for the "Straight Ally flag", as I mentioned before). AnonMoos (talk) 21:40, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * This seems like a lot of original research and POV. You may have a lot of feelings on these issues, but they shouldn't influence what goes into a page unless there are sources to back up any statements or direction of presentation. Although, it's iffy since there isn't a lot of easily accessible academic coverage of what I suppose amounts to the pop culture of the LGBT+ movement; all the flags and their descriptions that we currently have might as well be considered OR, as far as I understand. I guess it doesn't matter since no one seems too interested in adding a straight pride reference here. --IronMaidenRocks (talk) 16:48, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Original Research matters a lot when it comes to information to be added to an article, but when it comes to background information in a talk page discussion as to whether something should be excluded or included on an article, it may not be that important. My evidence is mostly circumstantial (except for the rather clear connection to the Straight Ally flag), but cumulatively it's quite strong (in the absence of any specific documented disconfirming evidence).  However, if something I want to be excluded from an article is excluded from it, but for what I would consider the wrong reasons, I guess I can live with that... [[Image:SFriendly.gif|20px]] -- AnonMoos (talk) 22:16, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

While we are discussing the title, what about moving it to plural? Because the article isn't about one flag alone, so it probably should be "Pride flags" -- Tazuco  [v] 19:52, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

 * According to Naming conventions (plurals), Wikipedia article titles are usually in the singular, unless there's something specific which would indicate a plural title would be more appropriate. (In contrast, category names are very often plural.) AnonMoos (talk) 20:19, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. Man, Woman, Non-binary gender, Pride flag. ---Lilach5 (לילך5) discuss 20:25, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Gender identity flags
I was trying to find reliable sources for the flags of neutrois, trigender, transmasculine, and transfeminine. But I don't have access to the books and new journals cited in this article (for example, those who reference aroace, demigirl, and pangender). I believe at least neutrois and transmasculine flags are notable. MikutoH (talk) 18:55, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Should we add subsections to the flag gallery?
I noticed that a lot more flags have been added since the last time I was here, and they cite enough sources that they likely deserve to stay, but I think this is visual overload. Splitting it up a little might make it a little easier to process it.

Should we add sub-sections to differentiate between flags representing gender identities, flags representing sexual orientations, and other flags that don't fit neatly into either category?

 Vanilla  Wizard  💙 20:52, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

 * I've gone ahead and ✅ it since I don't really expect this to be a controversial move, but if anyone has opinions, feel welcomed to leave them here.  Vanilla  Wizard  💙 21:04, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Very reasonable to split them up, in my opinion.-- User:Brainy J ✿ (talk) 16:28, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Vanilla Wizard, it might be a bit problematic to put the flags for gay men, lesbian, etc. in sexual orientation-based flags and leave them out of romantic orientation-based flags. It is also weird to place polyamory in romantic attraction-based flags and not sexual orientation based flags. It implies that those flags represent only the sexual attraction and not the romantic attraction, which is not supported by reliable sources. I think the best way to fix this is to just combine all the attraction-based flags into one subsection, which shouldn't be too clunky. If anyone has other ideas, I'm all ears. Pinging @Joeyconnick who reverted my edit for lack of prior talk page discussion. BappleBusiness[talk] 00:30, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Could you please explain how polyamory can be seen as a sexual orientation?--TempusTacet (talk) 06:13, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The more I think about this, the more I realise that what initially seemed like a good idea might not be. The distinctions here are not as clear cut as they need to be for the splitting into sections to be done in an uncontroversially correct way. The fact that we have a category for "other flags" and that contains some of the most significant LGBTQ flags, like the rainbow flag and the intersex flag, might tell us that we are going wrong here.
 * Both BappleBusiness and TempusTacet make valid points. I think that TempusTacet is correct that the polyamory flag belongs in the Romantic attraction–based flags section if we are to have one at all but that BappleBusiness is right that it would be better not to make this distinction at all, not least because it sort of requires us to include many flags in both sections. The asexual lesbians may not be happy to see the lesbian flag only in the sexual orientation–based flags section.
 * These are not the only problems. I also think that Lipstick lesbian is most similar to Bear and belongs in the Other section. The Labrys flag also, if we accept its framing as a political flag and not an attraction one, but then maybe we don't need all the lesbian flags in the gallery at all if we already have them in a section above? So, yeah. I don't know. Maybe we are just making a rod for our own backs here? --DanielRigal (talk) 13:14, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I didn't mean to say that "polyamory" cannot possibly be seen as a sexual orientation. I'm trying to understand BappleBusiness' and your concern with the current split. To me, based on my current understanding, the way that the flags are separated as either representing a sexual orientation or a romantic orientation seems logical to me but apparently not to you. Could you explain how "asexual lesbian" is not a contradiction, seeing that it combines two conflicting sexual orientations? Is "lesbian" understood as a romantic orientation (homoromantic) in this context?--TempusTacet (talk) 15:28, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, in this context, "asexual lesbian" would probably be an asexual homoromantic person. A lot of these identities (especially those that don't explicitly have "sexual" in them; e.g. "gay" and "lesbian") tend to encompass both romantic and sexual attraction, since I believe there has traditionally been less of a distinction between them.
 * Actually, the more I think about it, I do worry that we are legitimizing a split between "LGB" and "TQ+" that has been pushed by the LGB Alliance and other transphobes in the 2020s anti-LGBT movement. I would rather not play into that. And with the concerns brought up by @DanielRigal, I also don't know if it's as clear-cut as we're making it out to be. For example, should polyamory be considered a sexual/romantic orientation, or a relationship practice? Should the lipstick lesbian flag and labrys lesbian flag be with attraction-based flags or with other flags; if the former, should the bear flag join them? I think there might be too many questions here that we might not be able to justify or properly contextualize with a simple table. BappleBusiness[talk] 21:51, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Why in the world is this not protected in any way shape or form?
It seems liable to be vandalized by right wingers like myself Fishman8088 (talk) 00:00, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The assumption is that most editors are acting in good faith. We keep articles protected as little as possible and as briefly as is necessary to prevent disruption, . For example, if you were to start vandalizing this article, an administrator could block you from just this article or block you sitewide, depending on the nature of your vandalism.

Judaism not a location
The Jewish Pride flag looks out of place under the heading ‘Location-based flags’. Jews live all over the world. The BBC references given show it being used in San Francisco, but it is also used in the UK, as shown here Nomist (talk) 19:38, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

 * The image file is called Gay Pride flag of Israel.svg so maybe it is primarily location based and is mislabelled here, or maybe the international use shows that it is not primarily location based and hence it should be moved to the Other flags section? I'm not sure which but I do agree that there is something not quite right about the way we have it at the moment. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:32, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Rainbow Gadsden flag
A spoof of the (usually right-wing Gadsden) flag is to take the rattlesnake and the words DON'T TREAD ON ME upon the gay rainbow flag. This spoof suggests that gay rights are not to be "tread upon". Pbrower2a (talk) 19:54, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Many such flags exist but I doubt that any are notable enough for inclusion in the article. If there are any reliable sources covering parodies of pride flags then that might be worth covering but, unfortunately, I suspect that the most notable examples would be anti-LGBT parodies, such as the ugly monochrome flags that the "straight pride" trolls like to fly. DanielRigal (talk) 22:01, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

But the one that I suggested is a legitimate pride flag due to the colors. "Straight rights" other than the dubious one of oppressing LGBT people, have never been at risk. The rattlesnake on a yellow flag, originally a protest flag against repression by King George III, has been co-opted for causes not clearly patriotic. Suppression of LGBT rights does not enhance the liberty of anyone. Pbrower2a (talk) 07:32, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Sure, but you are missing my point. Is it notable? Do you know of any Reliable Sources that could be used to source coverage of it? DanielRigal (talk) 12:30, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Japanese/Kana/Lessons/Katakana/Lesson 8

Below we'll be looking into the characters "ヤ", "ユ" and "ヨ". These are transliterated as "ya", "yu" and "yo", respectively.

Choon Katakana
Certain sounds ending with -イ(i) ( キ(ki), シ(shi), チ(chi), ニ(ni), ヒ(hi), ミ(mi), レ(re) and their variations) can be followed by small versions (ャ, ュ, and ョ) of the katakana ヤ(ya), ユ(yu), and ヨ(yo). In this case, the two katakana are not pronounced individually, but rather as one sound, taking up one mora.

In most cases, the compound sound is the consonant of the base syllable followed by the modifier (fjord may be an example of a similar compound sound in English): In other cases the y sound disapears entirely: Look at the Kana Chart for the others.

Cryptography/Key Lengths

Key Length
Key length is directly proportional to security. In modern cryptosystems, key length is measured in bits (e.g. AES uses 256-bit keys), and each bit of a key increases the difficulty of a brute-force attack exponentially. It is important to note that in addition to adding more security, each bit slows down the cryptosystem as well. Because of this, key length -- like all things security -- is a tradeoff. In this case between practicality and security.

Furthermore, different types of cryptosystems require vastly different key lengths to maintain security. For instance, modulo-based public key systems such as ../Diffie-Hellman/ and ../RSA/ require rather long keys (generally around 1,024 bits), whereas symmetric systems, both block and stream, are able to use shorter keys (generally around 256 bits). Furthermore, elliptic curve public key systems are capable of maintaining security at key lengths similar to those of symmetric systems. While most block ciphers will only use one key length, most public key systems can use any number of key lengths.

As an illustration of relying on different key lengths for the same level of security, modern implementations of public key systems (see ../GPG/ and ../PGP/) give the user a choice of keylengths. Usually ranging between 768 and 4,096 bits. These implementations use the public key system (generally either ../RSA/ or ../ElGamal/) to encrypt a randomly generated block-cipher key (128 to 256 bits) which was used to encrypt the actual message.

Entropy
Equal to the importance of key length is information entropy. Entropy, defined generally as "a measure of the disorder of a system", implies randomness. i.e. If all of the bits of a key are not securely generated and equally random (whether truly random or the result of a cryptographically secure PRNG operation), then the system lacks entropy and is much more vulnerable to attack. For example, if a 128-bit key has only 64 bits of entropy, then the effective length of the key is 64 bits. This can be seen in the ../DES/ algorithm. DES actually has a key length of 64 bits; however, the effective key length is 56 bits because 8 bits are used for parity.

Common Mistakes
The fundamental deficiency in advantages of long block cipher keys when compare it to short cipher keys could be in difficulties to screening physical random entropy in short digits. Perhaps we can't store screening mechanism of randomness in secret, so we can't get randomness of entropy 2^256 without energy, which will be liner to appropriate entropy. For example, typical mistake of random generator implementation is simple addiction of individual digits with probability 0.5. This generator could be easy broken by bruteforce by neighbor bits wave functions. In this point of view, using block ciphers with large amount of digits, for ex. 10^1024 and more have a practical sense.

Other typical mistake is using public key infrastructure to encrypt session keys, because in this key more preferable to use Diffie-Hellman algorithm. Using the Diffie-Hellman algorithm to create session keys gives "forward secrecy".

Template talk:Ada/2005

My idea adding the category to the template was for automatically adding the pages including the template to the category. This has the drawback that we cannot control the sorting of the page. If we finally add the category manually to the subpages, then I think we should remove the category from the template, since it is not a content page and having it in the category might confuse some readers.

Radon Project
Measurement of radon in Paarl

Paarl is situated about 60 km from Cape Town and is built on the slopes of a hill consisting granite rock. Granite rock typically has a higher than average uranium content. Radon is a colourless, tasteless and odourless gas that is a decay product in the uranium decay chain in soil and rock.

Radon diffuses easily through cracks in walls and floors and may therefore accumulate in homes with poor ventilation. Radon gas has been found to be a major cause of lung cancer and contribute to at least 15 000 deaths in the United States annually. Radon measurements have been performed previously in Paarl and elevated levels were found in some older homes1. It was therefore proposed that further measurements are needed for a broader study of radon gas concentrations in soil and inside homes in Paarl....

Road Markings
This project involved ten committed educators from the EMDC, South Metropole (Mitchells Plain and surrounding areas). The objective of the project was to engage their learners in science process skills and empowering them in facilitating investigative skills in their classrooms. Educators from different schools were at different stages within their learning programmes. In order to choose a common topic to advance the project it was decided to select a topic that could easily be done in the different classes, without undue disruption of the learning programmes in progress.

Gary Reasons

Gary Phillip Reasons (born February 18, 1962) is an American former professional football player who was a linebacker in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Northwestern State Demons from 1980 to 1983 and was the first player chosen as a first-team Division I-AA All-America team in three consecutive years. He also played professional football in the NFL for the New York Giants (1984–1991) and Cincinnati Bengals (1992). He played on the Giants teams that won Super Bowl XXI and Super Bowl XXV. Reasons later worked as a college football television analyst and sideline reporter for ABC/ESPN and Fox Sports Southwest. He has been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame.

Early years
Reasons was born in 1962 in Chicago. He grew up in Texas and attended Crowley High School in Crowley, Texas. He played at linebacker and tight end for the Crowley football team and played other sports as well, earning a total of 13 varsity letters from 1976 to 1980.

Northwestern State
Reasons attended Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. He played college football as a linebacker for the Northwestern State Demons football team from 1980 to 1983. He set Northwestern State records for most tackles in a game (24), a season (172) and in a career (394). He was the first player to be named three times to the Division I-AA All-America team selected by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). As a senior, he was selected as a third-team All-American by Gannett News Service, an honor that typically only goes to Division I-A players.

NFL
Reasons was selected by the New York Giants in the fourth round (105th overall pick) of the 1984 NFL Draft. He played for the Giants for eight years from 1984 to 1991, appearing in 122 games, including 80 as a starter. In December 1989, Reasons made a diving tackle against Bobby Humphrey of the Denver Broncos in the snow at Mile High Stadium in Denver. Reasons stopped Humphrey short of the goal-line, and the Giants won the game, helping them advance to the playoffs. Three years later, The New York Times published an article about the hit, writing, "Reasons, a Giant linebacker, tackled a man with his head. In fact, his head tackled the other guy's head in midair. It was such a spectacular collision that, Reasons said, people still exclaim about it."

Reasons also made a notable play during the 1991 NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers, running for 30 yards on a fourth-quarter fake punt play, which helped the Giants win 15-13 and advance to Super Bowl XXV.

In early 1992, the Giants did not include Reasons on their 37-man Plan B protected list. He returned to the Giants but injured his knee during training camp and was released on injury settlement. He signed with the Cincinnati Bengals in September 1992. He appeared in 12 games for the Bengals, nine as a starter, in 1992.

Reasons played in the NFL for nine seasons, appeared in 134 games, and totaled 10 interceptions, 137 interception return yards, nine fumble recoveries, and three-and-a-half sacks.

Honors
Reasons has received multiple honors for his football career, including the following:

Platanthera hookeri

Platanthera hookeri, otherwise known as Hooker's orchid or Hooker's bog orchid, is a perennial wildflower in the genus Platanthera that can be found in temperate regions of North America ranging from Iowa to Newfoundland.

Characteristics
Hooker's orchid prefers partial shade and is found in dry or mesic forests and either deciduous or coniferous woodlands.

Leaf structure
Basal and opposite, the two leaves for this orchid are found nearly flat on the ground. The leaves are round in shape with the edges and surface being smooth but wrinkled.

Pollination and flowers
Hooker's orchid flowers take bloom in June and July and are pollinated by skippers and nocturnal moths. Though the flowers are hook-like in shape, the plant is actually named after William Jackson Hooker (1785-1865). The plant typically has between 6 and 25 yellow-green, bractless flowers with the lateral petals and the dorsal sepal converging towards each other while the labellum curves upward.

Uses
The roots of Platanthera hookeri are used to calm the nerves, to relieve urinary and gastric issues, and as a stimulant.
