Barnes Wallis Moth Machine

The Barnes Wallis Moth Machine was a modified microlight aircraft designed for collecting moths and other flying insects over rainforest canopies. The core machine was a Pegasus Q microlight aircraft. Modifications for moth catching were designed by Charles Cockell and implemented by a team of engineers at Enstone Airfield, England.

The machine was test flown in Oxford by Charles Cockell and then flown over the rainforest canopy in Sumatra, Indonesia in 1993 by Cockell in an effort to catch moths to catalog the diversity of moths in the rainforest as part of a biodiversity study of the Kerinci Seblat National Park. The machine had several modifications for moth catching: 1) Ultraviolet lights under the front of the aircraft for attracting moths during systematic sweeps of the forest, 2) A moth catching device consisting of an inverted funnel with a pleated butterfly net at the end for trapping moths scooped during flight, 3) A forward facing one million candlepower lamp to avoid trees whilst flying during dusk, 4) Two one million candlepower lamps pointing downwards at an angle to estimate height above the forest canopy, using a similar principle to that adopted for night flying during the 617 Squadron Dams raids in World War II and developed by Barnes Wallis (for whom the machine was named), 5) Infra-red night vision system for improving visibility during night time moth catching, provided by 617 Squadron and worn by the entomologist pilot.

The Patrons of the expedition were Susannah York, David Bellamy and 617 Squadron. Corporate Patrons were Barbour, BP, Pilkington and Containerway.

The machine was flown for several moth catching sorties over the rainforest, north of the Sumatran town of Bengkulu during July 1993. Moths were also caught using UV lamps on the ground.

During the expedition, whilst attempting to land the moth machine in a rainforest clearing, it clipped the top of a tree and crashed, destroying the machine, although Cockell escaped uninjured.

Mother of the House (United Kingdom)

The mother of the House is an honorific title given by tradition to the female Member of Parliament of the House of Commons in the United Kingdom with the longest uninterrupted service.

Since 4 July 2024 the Mother of the House is Diane Abbott.

History
Although the term had been used previously, the first use of the term in a ceremonial capacity was by Theresa May during the first sitting of the House following the  2017 General Election. In setting out the new tradition, Theresa May announced she was "breaking with tradition" by congratulating Harriet Harman as Mother of the House. The Centre on Constitutional Change attributes the normalisation and mainstreaming of the term to Harman, especially due to her prominence and leadership in the campaign to change the Standing Orders to allow female MPs taking maternity leave to vote in the House of Commons by proxy.

The term was used to refer to Harman for the remainder of her Parliamentary career after which time Abbott became Mother of the House following her re-election as an MP on 4 July 2024.

Historically, the term was also used by MP Noel Billing in 1920 in reference to Nancy Astor who had been elected as the first female MP to take up her seat the previous year. Astor went on to further use the term to refer to herself in 1945.

Role
Similar to the titles of Father of the House and Baby of the House, the Mother of the House is not established by Standing Order but rather by convention. However, the role of Mother of the House gives the post holder unprecedented authority and legitimacy when speaking in debates.

The title is bestowed on the female parliamentarian with the longest uninterrupted service as MP calculated by the date of the election. When two MPs have served for the same duration, it is calculated depending on the date and time on which they took the Oath of Allegiance.

There is yet to be a female Member of Parliament who has sat longer than her male counterpart making the Father of the House more senior.

In 2024 The Mother of the House swears or affirms their allegiance at the start of a new Parliament after the Speaker of the House and the Father of the House but before the Prime Minister and any other MPs.

Bradley method of natural childbirth

The Bradley method of natural childbirth (also known as "husband-coached childbirth") is a method of natural childbirth developed in 1947 by Robert A. Bradley, M.D. (1917–1998) and popularized by his book Husband-Coached Childbirth, first published in 1965. The Bradley method emphasizes that birth is a natural process: mothers are encouraged to trust their body and focus on diet and exercise throughout pregnancy; and it teaches couples to manage labor through deep breathing and the support of a partner or labor coach.

Principles
Teachers of the Bradley method believe that—with adequate preparation, education and help from a loving, supportive coach—most women can give birth naturally, without drugs or surgery. The Bradley method emphasizes measures that can be taken to help keep women healthy and lower their risk for complications that may lead to medical intervention.

The primary goal of the Bradley method is healthy mothers and healthy babies. The method holds that, in most circumstances, a natural (drug-free) childbirth is the best way to achieve that goal. Proponents of the Bradley Method claim that 86 percent of mothers who follow the method have vaginal births without drugs.

Classes teach nutrition, relaxation and natural breathing as pain management techniques, along with active participation of the husband as coach. Parents-to-be are taught to be knowledgeable consumers of birth services and to take responsibility in making informed decisions regarding procedures, attendants and the birthplace.

The method itself is an application of what Dr. Bradley termed "the six needs of the laboring woman": deep and complete relaxation and abdominal breathing; quiet, darkness and solitude; physical comfort; and closed eyes and the appearance of sleep. The method relies heavily on training fathers to be labor "coaches" or partners. Bradley method teachers usually supplement these primary techniques with training in different labor positions and comfort measures. In order to master the ability to relax completely as a pain relief tool, couples are taught several different relaxation techniques and encouraged to practice relaxation daily, so that the mother can rely on a conditioned relaxation response to her partner's voice and touch.

History
Robert Bradley entered the field of obstetrics in 1947, at a time when mothers were restrained in hospital beds and unable to freely move throughout labor due to the medication they were administered. Terming this practice as "knock-em-out, drag-em-out obstetrics", when "twilight sleep" and general anesthesia were common in hospital deliveries, Bradley decided to develop his own method. Having been raised on a farm and witnessed many animal births as a part of farm life, Bradley believed that women, like the non-human animals he had observed growing up, could give birth without drugs or distress. Based on observations of mammals during labor and birth, he developed a childbirth method to teach women to do the things that animal mothers do instinctively.

Soon after starting to implement his new childbirth method with pregnant nurses as a trial, Dr. Bradley began to believe that the presence and support of the father during labor and birth was important to the mother's success in achieving a natural birth. He became a pioneer in including fathers in the birth process and eventually expanded his childbirth method to include extensive instruction of the father as labor coach.

Bradley Method instructors are certified by the American Academy of Husband-Coached Childbirth (AAHCC).

Want to create page for me social contriter friend
Kindly guide me how to create wiki page fir my friend who is doing wonderful Social works & contributing his maximum time with needy for there progress — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nehagzp (talk • contribs) 05:04, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Most people are not eligible for a Wikipedia entry, however wonderful they are, but if your friend has been written about in WP:Reliable sources (that is, they are notable in the special Wikipedia sense), then you need to collect some of those articles about your friend, and summarise them in your own words. You have a WP:Conflict of interest, so perhaps you are not the best person to write the article, but when you have collected the references, you could request an article at WP:Requested articles, or create a draft in WP:Draft space.    D b f i r s   06:36, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Hello, . Please understand that, however wonderful your friend's activities are, Wikipedia has essentially no interest in what he says or what his friends or associates say or know about him: it is only interested in what people who have no connection with him have chosen to publish about him in reliable places (such as major newspapers or books from reliable publishers). If such sources exist, then there can be an article based on them - but as Dbfirs says, you may have a conflict of interest which will make it hard for you to create an acceptable article. The purpose of a Wikipedia article is not, ever, to tell the world about something, but to summarise what people have already decided to tell the world about. Anyone who creates a Wikipedia article for the purpose of telling the world about something is likely to have a frustrating experience. --ColinFine (talk) 09:57, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Have you read the comments on your talk page? Your article was rejected because a) it was on a topic covered by an existing article, and b) it was deemed to read more like an essay than an encyclopedia article.  I can't see the deleted text, but was it an expression of your own opinions and theories, or was it a neutral recounting of facts about OSH already expressed in existing books and articles?  Only the latter is acceptable here.  Rojomoke (talk) 10:59, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

About the link of :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablighi_Jamaat
Hello Have a wonderful day.

About the link of the top I want to say that Tabligue is an unarmed and non political muslim group distributed worldwide. They do not have any political affair with any country. This is hardly prohibited from the Tabligue leaders not to join with politics of any country by staying on Dawat and Tabligue and do not use the reference of Dawat and Tabligue. So here is the matter of yesterday Sir Donald J trump had been attacked on Pakistan and had been hardly announced that FBI drone attack will destroy all types of Hakkani and Jammat. Here Tablighi Jamaat is not the original group and organization name. The original group and organization name is Dawat and Tabligue. Dawat means invitation to mosque of all muslim and Tab league means Tab=Mouth League means Organization. So its an organization of mouth speak and only for muslim primarily. So may be the link of top had been made by any pakistani: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablighi_Jamaat and they had been used the name of Jammat with Tabligue which we are worldwide muslim feeling risk. Kindly change the name to dawat and tabligue on the Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablighi_Jamaat will be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/dawatandtableague or otherwise please off the link kindly to save pure peace lovers muslim group of Dawat and Tabligue. Dawat and Tabligue is a perfect muslim peace lovers group and unarmed and non political muslim group. Pakistan had bene using it fo9r political reference. We are not liking Tabligue for any political reference on any country. This group main duty is to call the muslim people to mosque for five times pray on a day.

Please help the rest of the Tableaguei muslim people in this world.

Would it be possible to change the spacing settings within these templates? They namely appear too large to me as can be seen from here or here for instance. Hoping for your support,--Tuchiel (talk) 15:27, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Template issues
Hi, in Crusades, I tried to apply the option  for the Template:Campaignbox Crusades included at the very beginning, but for some reason that doesn't work. Besides, why is there a divergent spacing above and below that template?--Tuchiel (talk) 16:05, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

PS: Concerning the last point (spacings), there is a similar thing with Template:Portal and Template:Commons, e. g. if you have a look at Jiří Třanovský: the spacing after the See also headline's underlining, before the Poetry Portal link box is slightly bigger than the one after the External links underlining, before the Commons link box, isn't it? I must say that I'm not very familiar with template formatting – since otherwise I would try to fix those hiccups myself, of course. Best--Tuchiel (talk) 16:35, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Templates have different parameters. Campaignbox Crusades has no  parameter and doesn't claim to have it. Image thumbs may have a little more space below them than some other things. That seems unimportant to me. I think Crusades and Jiří Třanovský look OK. Does 1 or 2 mm more or less space around templates really matter? PrimeHunter (talk) 18:24, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot for answering! "Does 1 or 2 mm more or less space around templates really matter?" — Well, admittedly, there are certainly more important issues around. However, I thought it would be somewhat in the interest of the project in itself to have a more or less coherent layout / design / typography. And thus, I had the notion that the mentioned issues would be something one could consider to harmonize things... I hope that helps at least a bit to explain my concern. Best--Tuchiel (talk) 18:37, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * PS: Regarding Crusades, I think it would really make sense to have the campaignbox opened by default here. Is there a way to include that option?--Tuchiel (talk) 19:20, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I have added the option.[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Campaignbox_Crusades&diff=801118951&oldid=794621783] PrimeHunter (talk) 19:43, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot! Referring once more to the spacing problems, I'd like to add that there seems to be another (related?) inconsistency which can be seen e. g. at History of the United Kingdom: Why is there a regular spacing after the "See also" section, but not after the "References" and before the "Further reading" section? Also, there are different spacings between the subsections within the "Further reading" section. And if you look very carefully, you will be surprised to see that at the beginning of the latter, the second column begins slightly higher (!) than the first one... Now, wouldn't those be issues basically improvable for the benefit of a harmonized layout?--Tuchiel (talk) 08:29, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The spacings look the same to me. If a section is split into columns then the spacing to the next section is determined by the longest column. If the left colum is shorter then the spacing from that column becomes longer. The distribution between columns depends on the browser, window size, font size and so on, so don't try to avoid this effect by making the left column the longest. I don't know why the second column begins slightly higher or whether it happens in all browsers (it does in my Firefox). Maybe it has to do with  definitions in MediaWiki:Common.css. I don't think it's important. PrimeHunter (talk) 09:06, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Pornographic Material
My daughter is doing a research paper on the 1960's. She loves the Beatles and somehow came across the page of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's, "Two Virgins" album. You have pornography posted! I realize that the original album cover included John and Yoko naked but for this particular website (that is used like an encyclopedia by children) the photo should be censored. That's not something I want my 13 year old daughter seeing. You have a responsibility. Please fix it or take down the picture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:11, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * This is an encyclopedia, not a children's book. We do not believe in censoring. We believe in sharing knowledge. Your daughter can also empower herself by reading on sexuality, for example. This is what Wikipedia is for.--Keimzelle (talk) 17:42, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is WP:NOTCENSORED. MarnetteD|Talk 17:47, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Right. We generally limit images of nudity to articles where it's relevant but the album cover is relevant to an article about the album. PrimeHunter (talk) 18:09, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * IP 74, you can also read Offensive material, Manual_of_Style/Images, and Help:Options to hide an image. 2605:A000:FFC0:D8:D8E:D6F3:A7EA:C247 (talk) 18:14, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Please also note that the image is nudity, NOT pornography there is no sexual activity involved just a lack of clothes. Theroadislong (talk) 18:19, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Correct.--Keimzelle (talk) 18:40, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Theroadislong, although the image is appropropriate for the article and you are correct that it is not pornography, you are misunderstanding what constitutes pornography. Sexual activity doesn't necessarily need be involved for something to be pornography. In fact, it doesn't even need to be an image. Pornography can be in the form of photos, videos, writings, sculptures, paintings, video games, and others. And in order for it to be pornography, its purpose needs to be to elicit sexual arousal. 2605:A000:FFC0:D8:D8E:D6F3:A7EA:C247 (talk) 18:46, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Wait, so how is it our fault that Lennon and Oko decided to pose nude for an album cover? Because an article about an album is obviously going to include the album cover.  Or is it our fault that your daughter is doing a research paper on the '60s?  I'm not seeing how Wikipedia is responsible for this.  Ian.thomson (talk) 18:54, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Ian, please calm down. There's no need to attack a concerned parent who's simply misunderstanding this enyclopedia's purpose and rules, and what constitutes pornography. Good faith inquires should receive civil responses and clear explanations. You are administrator, so you of all people should know better. 2605:A000:FFC0:D8:D8E:D6F3:A7EA:C247 (talk) 19:01, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I can reply with a degree of sarcasm calmly and while assuming good faith. Ian.thomson (talk) 19:07, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The Help Desk doesn't need sarcastic replies, especially from administrators. Read your own words on your user page: "there are rules to make sure that...editors are civil". 2605:A000:FFC0:D8:D8E:D6F3:A7EA:C247 (talk) 19:08, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * You say "in order for it to be pornography, its purpose needs to be to elicit sexual arousal". Clearly that was not the purpose of this album cover, who could possibly be sexually aroused by that! Theroadislong (talk) 09:46, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Two Virgins is from 1968 where pornography was illegal and people weren't so used to images of nudity, and a lot of women and girls had a crush on John Lennon. I suspect many people were aroused. Not so many today. PrimeHunter (talk) 10:04, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Atheist Shoes is a project of The Meaningful Shoe Company, a collective of shoemakers based in Berlin, London and Porto.

Designed in Berlin and handmade in Porto, the shoes have the statement ICH BIN ATHEIST embossed on their soles, with the aim of increasing the visibility of non-believers in a subtle, tasteful way. (Irish Times)

Their minimalist, utilitarian design is inspired by the Bauhaus and each shoes is marked by a "black hole" logo. (Fast Company)

Atheist Shoes is the brainchild of David Bonney, a former advertising copywriter and psychologist. "It's like Grindr for the Godless", said Bonney, in an August 2014 interview with the Guardian. (Guardian)

A picture of the first Atheist Shoe was posted on Reddit.com in January 2012, and made "front page", (Fast Company) resulting in 650,000 page views in 24 hours (Irish Times) and 100s of requests for shoes. In April 2012, Atheist Shoes raised $60,000 via Kickstarter and its website opened for business in June 2012. Atheist Shoes have since sold an estimated 7,000 pairs of shoes, with most of its customers being in the USA. (Tagespiegel)

In 2013, Atheist Shoes published the results of a scientific experiment it conducted, to determine whether the US Postal Service would deliver packages branded with "ATHEIST" packing tape would travel at the same speed as neutrally-branded packages. The results suggested a bias against ATHEIST-branded packages, with those packages taking on average 3 days longer to arrive and being ten times more likely to disappear. (Time)

On April 1st, 2014, the founder of Atheist Shoes claimed to be closing the business, due to having found god, only to admit, the following day, that this was in fact an April Fool's joke. (The Blaze)

Visual computing

Visual computing is a generic term for all computer science disciplines dealing with images and 3D models, such as computer graphics, image processing, visualization, computer vision, computational imaging, virtual and augmented reality, and video processing. Visual computing also includes aspects of pattern recognition, human-computer interaction, machine learning and digital libraries. The core challenges are the acquisition, processing, analysis and rendering of visual information (mainly images and video). Application areas include industrial quality control, medical image processing and visualization, surveying, robotics, multimedia systems, virtual heritage, special effects in movies and television, and computer games.

History and overview
Visual computing is a fairly new term, which got its current meaning around 2005, when the International Symposium on Visual Computing first convened. Areas of computer technology concerning images, such as image formats, filtering methods, color models, and image metrics, have in common many mathematical methods and algorithms. When computer scientists working in computer science disciplines that involve images, such as computer graphics, image processing, and computer vision, noticed that their methods and applications increasingly overlapped, they began using the term "visual computing" to describe these fields collectively. And also the programming methods on graphics hardware, the manipulation tricks to handle huge data, textbooks and conferences, the scientific communities of these disciplines and working groups at companies intermixed more and more.

Furthermore, applications increasingly needed techniques from more than one of these fields concurrently. To generate very detailed models of complex objects you need image recognition, 3D sensors and reconstruction algorithms, and to display these models believably you need realistic rendering techniques with complex lighting simulation. Real-time graphics is the basis for usable virtual and augmented reality software. A good segmentation of the organs is the basis for interactive manipulation of 3D visualizations of medical scans. Robot control needs the recognition of objects just as a model of its environment. And all devices (computers) need ergonomic graphical user interfaces.

Although many problems are considered solved within the scientific communities of the sub-disciplines making up visual computing (mostly under idealistic assumptions), one major challenge of visual computing as a whole is the integration of these partial solutions into applicable products. This includes dealing with many practical problems like addressing a multitude of hardware, the use of real data (that is often erroneous and/or gigantic in size), and the operation by untrained users. In this respect, Visual computing is more than just the sum of its sub-disciplines, it is the next step towards systems fit for real use in all areas using images or 3D objects on the computer.

Visual computing disciplines
At least the following disciplines are sub-fields of visual computing. More detailed descriptions of each of these fields can be found on the linked special pages. Computer graphics is a general term for all techniques that produce images as result with the help of a computer. To transform the description of objects to nice images is called rendering which is always a compromise between image quality and run-time. Techniques that can extract content information from images are called image analysis techniques. Computer vision is the ability of computers (or of robots) to recognize their environment and to interpret it correctly. Visualization is used to produce images that shall communicate messages. Data may be abstract or concrete, often with no a priori geometrical components. Visual analytics describes the discipline of interactive visual analysis of data, also described as “the science of analytical reasoning supported by the interactive visual interface”. To represent objects for rendering it needs special methods and data structures, which subsumed with the term geometric modeling. In addition to describing and interactive geometric techniques, sensor data are more and more used to reconstruct geometrical models. Algorithms for the efficient control of 3D printers also belong to the field of visual computing. In contrast to image analysis image processing manipulates images to produce better images. “Better” can have very different meanings subject to the respective application. Also, it has to be discriminated from image editing which describes interactive manipulation (or automated through computer algorithms) of images based on human validation. Techniques that produce the feeling of immersion into a fictive world are called virtual reality (VR). Requirements for VR include head-mounted displays, real-time tracking, and high-quality real-time rendering. Augmented reality enables the user to see the real environment in addition to the virtual objects, which augment this reality. Accuracy requirements on rendering speed and tracking precision are significantly higher here. The planning, design and uses of interfaces between people and computers is not only part of every system involving images. Due to the high bandwidth of the human visual channel (eye), images are also a preferred part of ergonomic user interfaces in any system, so that human-computer interaction is also an integral part of visual computing.

NXT TakeOver XXX

NXT TakeOver XXX (originally NXT TakeOver: Boston) was the 30th NXT TakeOver professional wrestling livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's NXT brand division. The event took place on August 22, 2020, at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida as part of that year's SummerSlam weekend. It was also the final NXT TakeOver event to air exclusively on the WWE Network, as beginning with TakeOver 31 in October, the events also became available on traditional pay-per-view.

The event was originally scheduled to take place at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the city's Mayor Marty Walsh announced the suspension of all large-scale gatherings and that no permit would be issued for an event that could draw a large crowd before September 7. As such, the event was moved to NXT's home base of Full Sail University. It was the final NXT TakeOver event to be held at Full Sail, as beginning with TakeOver 31 in October, NXT's events were moved to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida and broadcast from a new setup dubbed the Capitol Wrestling Center.

Six matches were contested at the event, including one on the pre-show. In the main event, Karrion Kross defeated Keith Lee to win the NXT Championship. In the penultimate match, Io Shirai defeated Dakota Kai to retain the NXT Women's Championship. In other prominent matches, Damian Priest won the vacant NXT North American Championship in a ladder match, and Adam Cole defeated Pat McAfee, which was McAfee's WWE in-ring debut.

Background
TakeOver was a series of professional wrestling shows that began in May 2014, as WWE's NXT brand held their second WWE Network-exclusive event, billed as TakeOver. In subsequent months, the "TakeOver" moniker became the brand used by WWE for all of their NXT live specials. Titled for being the 30th NXT TakeOver event, TakeOver XXX was held on August 22, 2020, as a support show for that year's SummerSlam pay-per-view.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that began affecting the industry in mid-March, WWE had to present the majority of its programming from a behind closed doors set. NXT's programming was held at NXT's home base of Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. Announced on August 8, 2019, this TakeOver event, as well as the following night's SummerSlam, were originally scheduled to take place at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. However, on May 8, 2020, Boston mayor Marty Walsh suspended all large-scale gatherings until September 7, effectively canceling WWE's planned events in the city. As a result, this TakeOver, which was originally titled "TakeOver: Boston", was also moved to Full Sail University and subsequently renamed to "TakeOver XXX" due to it being the 30th NXT TakeOver event.

Storylines
The event comprised six matches, including one on the Pre-Show, that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results were predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT brand, while storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television program, NXT.

On the July 22 episode of NXT, then double champion Keith Lee reflected on his career and all of the opportunities he had gotten and stated that he now wanted to pay it forward, so he voluntarily relinquished the NXT North American Championship to allow other wrestlers a chance at the title, while he would focus solely on defending the NXT Championship. As a result, NXT General Manager William Regal announced that there would be a series of triple threat matches set up as qualifiers for a five-man ladder match to be held at TakeOver XXX to crown a new North American Champion. That same night, Bronson Reed defeated Johnny Gargano and Roderick Strong to become the first to qualify for the match. The following week, Dexter Lumis joined Reed as the second person to qualify by defeating Finn Bálor and Timothy Thatcher, but was later ruled out due to an ankle injury. On the August 5 episode, Damian Priest joined Reed as the third person to qualify by defeating Oney Lorcan and NXT UK's Ridge Holland. Due to Lumis' injury, Regal announced two singles matches that would take place to fill Lumis' spot and determine the final two competitors. The wrestlers in those matches will be the ones who were neither pinned nor submitted in the triple threats. On the August 12 episode of NXT, Cameron Grimes joined Reed and Priest as the fourth person to qualify by defeating Kushida and the returning Velveteen Dream, the latter of whom turned heel after the match. The final two to qualify were Gargano and Dream, who defeated Holland and Bálor, respectively.

On the July 22 episode of NXT, during Karrion Kross' match, NXT Champion Keith Lee showed up and checked on Kross' opponent after Kross won. The following week, Kross challenged Lee for the NXT Championship, stating that Lee's friends would suffer, and Lee accepted. On the August 12 episode, after Kross won his match, Kross and Lee signed the contract for the title match at TakeOver XXX. After the two signed the contract, a fireball went out of the contract and into Lee.

On the July 15 episode of NXT, after Io Shirai's successful NXT Women's Championship defense, Dakota Kai attacked Shirai. On the August 5 episode of NXT, thanks to interference from The Robert Stone Brand's Mercedes Martinez, Kai defeated Rhea Ripley to earn an opportunity against Shirai at TakeOver XXX, after which, Martinez attacked Ripley.

On July 23, during McAfee's radio program on CBS Sports Radio, Cole got into an altercation with McAfee, due to McAfee accusing Cole of hiding behind The Undisputed Era during his record 403-day NXT Championship reign and mocking Cole for his smaller stature, resulting in Cole cussing out McAfee and shoving a producer. On July 27, NXT head Triple H offered McAfee the opportunity to work things out with Cole on the August 5 episode of NXT. During the NXT Tag Team Championship match, which saw Imperium's Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel defend against Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly, McAfee mocked Cole while serving as guest commentator and got into another altercation, which ended with McAfee punting Cole in the head while Cole was being restrained, before being thrown out of Full Sail University. The following day, Triple H issued a challenge to McAfee on Cole's behalf for a match at TakeOver XXX on ESPN's Get Up!, which McAfee later accepted in a video.

On the August 5 episode of NXT, Legado Del Fantasma (Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza ambushed Breezango (Fandango and Tyler Breeze) and threw them into their van. Later that night, they dragged Fandango out. Breeze tried to make the save, but was overpowered. The following week, Santos Escobar defeated Breeze, after which, Legado attacked Breezango until Isaiah "Swerve" Scott made the save. On the August 19 episode, Legado Del Fantasma defeated Scott and Breezango. Later that night, a triple threat tag team match between Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch, Legado Del Fantasma, and Breezango was scheduled for the Pre-Show to determine the number one contenders for Imperium's (Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel) NXT Tag Team Championship.

On August 20, a match between Timothy Thatcher and Finn Bálor was scheduled for TakeOver XXX.

Pre-show
During the TakeOver XXX Pre-Show, Breezango (Fandango and Tyler Breeze), Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch, and Legado Del Fantasma (Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza) faced each other in triple threat tag team match to determine the number one contenders for the NXT Tag Team Championship. In the end, Breeze performed a Super Model Kick on Lorcan to win the match.

Preliminary matches
The actual event began with Finn Bálor taking on Timothy Thatcher. The match in itself was a highly technical matchup and Thatcher and Balor used a lot of submissions. Bálor won following a Coup de Grace and a 1916.

Next, the vacant North American Championship was decided in a five-way ladder match featuring Bronson Reed, Damian Priest, Cameron Grimes, Johnny Gargano, and The Velveteen Dream as the participants. Midway through the match, Reed performed a suicide dive onto Grimes, Gargano, and Priest, prompting Gargano's wife, Candice LeRae, to come out and check on her husband. Grimes was taken out of the match when Gargano used a powerbomb on him from a ladder onto another ladder. Dream was thrown out into the audience on the concrete floor. LeRae would become more heavily involved in the match by preventing Grimes from grabbing the title. She also tried to stop Reed from grabbing the title as well, but suffered greatly once Reed jumped from the ladder with LeRae on his back, splashing Gargano. In the end, Priest shoved Gargano off the ladder and unhooked the belt to win the title.

Following this was the grudge match between Adam Cole and Pat McAfee. Things started off intense after McAfee dove to the outside, taking out Cole and the rest of The Undisputed Era, his own posse of NFL teammates, and several WWE officials and security. McAfee's advantage would dissipate over time after Cole locked him in a Figure four Leglock. McAfee would escape and hit his signature punt on Cole for a near fall. McAfee would counter a superplex attempt by Cole by flipping out and landing on his feet. McAfee also performed a suicide dive from the top turnbuckle onto the Undisputed Era and other officials on the outside. However, in the end, it would be Cole who would pick up the victory following a Panama Sunrise.

In the penultimate match, Io Shirai defended the NXT Women's Championship against Dakota Kai. Kai started the match off strong with several kicks and lariats. Once Shirai started mounting offense, Kai escaped to the outside where her enforcer, Raquel González, stopped Shirai in her tracks, long enough for Kai to attack her from behind. Kai continued her advantage by targeting the arm of Shirai and hitting her with the Kairopractor for a nearfall. Kai would then accidentally kick the ref, knocking him unconscious. Shirai capitalized with her patented Over-the-Moonsault, but was attacked by Gonzalez, who laid Shirai out with a Pumphandle Uranage. Kai capitalized and covered Shirai as the ref came to and started the count, only for Shirai to kick out at a two count. Moments later, Shirai performed a Moonsault on both González and Kai outside the ring. Following this, Shirai performed another Moonsault on Kai to retain the title. Afterwards, Shirai was attacked by González, but was rescued by Rhea Ripley.

Main event
In the main event, Keith Lee defended the NXT Championship against Karrion Kross (accompanied by Scarlett). Soon after the bell rang, the fight was quickly taken to the outside, with Kross kicking Lee's arm in between the guard rail and plexiglass divider. Kross continued to wear Lee down with various submission holds, and even hit a Doomsday Saito for a near fall. Lee would eventually mount a comeback against Kross, countering an arm bar by lifting it into a powerbomb, and would nail Kross with the Spirit Bomb for a near fall. Kross would mount a comeback by trapping Lee in the Kross Jacket and nearly made the champion pass out, but Lee would stay conscious and fight out of the hold. Lee attempted to go for a top rope maneuver, but would be met by Kross, who performed a top rope Doomsday Saito to pin Lee and win the NXT Championship for the first time in his career.

Reception
Dave Meltzer rated the NXT North American Championship Ladder Match 4.5 stars, the highest of the night. The main event however, received 2 stars, the lowest of the night. The rest of the card received the following ratings. The kick-off show match received 3 stars, Finn Balor vs. Timothy Thatcher received 4 stars, and the NXT Women's Championship match and Adam Cole vs. Pat McAfee match both received 3.75 stars.

Aftermath
After the event ended, it was reported by WWE that Karrion Kross had suffered a separated shoulder during his main event match with Keith Lee. At SummerSlam, it was announced that Lee would be moving to the Raw brand. On the following episode of NXT, Kross announced that due to suffering that shoulder injury, he would not be medically cleared to defend the NXT Championship and thus relinquished the belt. As a result, Regal announced later that night that four former champions—Johnny Gargano, Finn Bálor, Adam Cole, and the returning Tommaso Ciampa—would compete on the September 1 "Super Tuesday" edition of NXT in a four-way 60-minute Iron Man match for the vacant NXT Championship.

Also on NXT, Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) defeated Imperium (Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel) to become the new NXT Tag Team Champions, their first titles in WWE.

Dakota Kai and Raquel González took on Rhea Ripley and Io Shirai and defeated them after interference from Mercedes Martinez. This would lead to a Steel Cage match between Ripley and Martinez at Night 2 of NXT Super Tuesday, where Ripley was victorious.

Pat McAfee returned on the October 21 episode of NXT, where he interfered in a match between Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) against Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan for the NXT Tag Team Championship, with the latter being a replacement team for The Undisputed Era. McAfee helped Burch and Lorcan win the titles, after which, McAfee aligned with Burch and Lorcan. At NXT: Halloween Havoc the following week, McAfee stated that this was part of a feud between him and The Undisputed Era, and also revealed that he hired Ridge Holland to attack to take out Adam Cole at TakeOver: 31. After Holland's legitimate injuries during a match against Burch, McAfee hired him and Lorcan to take out Bobby Fish and Roderick Strong, which gave O'Reilly no choice but to hand them The Undisputed Era's title shot. O'Reilly came from the back and was joined by Pete Dunne, however, Dunne turned on O'Reilly and joined McAfee's stable, calling themselves The Kings of NXT. On the November 18 episode, McAfee interrupted NXT Champion Finn Bálor mid-promo, and following The Undisputed Era's return, they brawled with Burch, Lorcan, Dunne, and McAfee as the show ended. It was then confirmed that the two teams would face each other in a WarGames match at TakeOver: WarGames.

TakeOver XXX would be the final NXT TakeOver to air exclusively on the WWE Network, as beginning with TakeOver 31 on October 4, 2020, TakeOvers also became available on traditional pay-per-view. Additionally, TakeOver XXX was the final TakeOver to broadcast from Full Sail University, as also beginning with TakeOver 31, the events were moved to the WWE Performance Center in a setup dubbed the Capitol Wrestling Center, which was similar to WWE's bio-secure bubble, the WWE ThunderDome, that was utilized for Raw and SmackDown's events.

Karl Marx

Welcome to the Karl Marx learning project.

Biographical notes
Karl Marx was born in 1818 in the town of Treves in the Rhineland (Germany), and died in 1883. He was born to Jewish parents who later converted to Christianity when Karl was six. Marx studied at the University of Berlin and in 1841 he recieved his doctorate for his dissertation on the philosophies of Democritus and Epicurus. Afterwards, Marx became a journalist, since his radical views and ideas were incompatable with an academic career, and in 1842 he became the editor of the newspaper called Rheinische Zeitung.

One year after becoming editor of the newspaper it was suppressed (1843), and he then moved to Paris to study the theory and practice of socialism. It was here that he met Friedrich Engels, and the two would go on to write several works together, including the seminal work Manifesto of the Communist Party.

Marx, along with Engels, took part in the Revolution of 1848, and during this time, Marx edited the Neue Rheinische Zeitung, which would also become suppressed. However, along with the suppression of the paper, Marx was also indicted with Treason. Thus, Marx was forced to live in England in exile.

In 1864, the International Workingmen's Association was formed, and Marx returned to the political arena. Marx became a member of the organization, and would find himself an influential member of it's General Council.

Karl Marx eventually became ill, and he died in 1883.

Marxist Theory in Summary
"The weapon of criticism cannot, of course, replace criticism of the weapon, material force must be overthrown by material force; but theory also becomes a material force as soon as it has gripped the masses. Theory is capable of gripping the masses as soon as it demonstrates ad hominem, and it demonstrates ad hominem as soon as it becomes radical. To be radical is to grasp the root of the matter. But, for man, the root is man himself."

One of the most viable critiques of capitalism comes from Karl Marx.

In Das Kapital, Marx elucidated how capitalism creates two things for the person in such a system: First, it creates a gap between those who have money and those who do not, and second, it fosters the individual alienation that exists in the bureaucratic workplace. In doing this, the capitalist hegemony remains in place through influencing the state - that is, since the ideas of society are those of the most powerful, the state is a reflection of the economic majority, and not necessarily the actual majority (which, according to Marx - and history - is the working class). This was sustained by "the power of [capitalism's] ideology and the durability and versatility of its economy."

Marx also subscribes - and indeed encourages - the idea of a working class that stands divorced from the necessary bonds of society that hold them down. In order to improve their situation, the workers, acting as a union against the capitalists and owners of the means of production, must rise up in unity and revolt against those of a more supreme economic class. It is this difference in economic class, as Marx explained, that would create a difference in political ideology.

Because the capitalists (and the societal hegemony) limits the freedom and exercise of power by the state, revolutions become the only manifestable end-state in one of three ways: "critical economic factors, social factors, and emergence of class consciousness among the working class."

All of Marx's writings assume that once someone owns the means of production they will be reluctant to offer up to their fellow citizen the fruits of their efforts. There are absolutely some of the capitalist hegemony who side with the working class, and often in times of great moments in history, as Marx wrote in the Communist Manifesto, "[So] now a portion of the bourgeoisie goes over to the proletariat, and in particular a portion of the bourgeois ideologists, who have raised themselves to the level of comprehending theoretically the historical movement as a whole."

Marx borrowed many ideas from contemporary economists such as David Ricardo and Adam Smith, and incorporated them into his analysis of Capitalism. One notable example being the Labor Theory of Value, which he would use to justify Socialism.

Talk:Meister Eckhart

works and doctrines
Hi, person who reverted my "vandalism". The section on Eckhart's doctrines is much too long and detailed to be a section of the main article - hence I moved it to it's own page, which I conveniently linked to when I removed the text. I'm going to go ahead and revert your reversion, and if you want to discuss this change, please do so here. Thank you. Cantara 01:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I added the quote where Eckhart describes the subjects of his preaching. The paragraph was already discussing Eckhart's themes, and that quote is the standard summary of what Eckhart said in his German sermons.

Need Clarification
What do the words "mysticism is penetrated by the spirit of the University in which it occurred" mean? Lestrade 17:12, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Lestrade
 * Go read Ferruolo, The Origins of the University, Stanford UP 1985. The University of Paris was not much more significant than any other Cathedral School or scriptorium libnrary until Abelard set fire to rational debate in his dispute with William of Champeaux about the rules of philosophic ontology. Ths spirit of the University was originally dogmatic Roman, but it attracted a number of free-thinking young men who disputed the Realist schola. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:51, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Eudemonism and Christianity
After contrasting the eudemonism of Protestant Christianity with original Christianity and other religions – according to the article on eudemonism, the Christian use of the concept came from Aquinas through Augustine (both lived prior to the Protestant movement). I reverted my edit that noted this, because I don't have a copy of Welt to check on why Schaupenauer may have described it as a Protestant concept. Can you shed some light on this question? --Blainster 19:16, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Lestrade 19:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)Lestrade

I have to say I am very uneasy reading Schopenhauer's words on Eckhardt. Full of insight though they may be they are filtered through S's very particular negative view of the world. Eckhardt's vision was one of Joy and Love, not despair - he uses these words continously in regard to the experience of achieving union with God. I'm also bored of people, when the encounter someone working in the Christian tradition who's views they have sympathy with automatically calling them a Bhuddist or Hindu (people call the Cathars Buddhists, S saying Eckhardt had to dress his Eastern Mysticism up in Christian garments etc). Because we don't like what Christianity has become doesn't mean when we find people who got close to its true spirit that they weren't Christians. At some point we are going to have to accept that in their purest forms all religious movements get close to a profound spiritual truth, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu or whatever. Eckhardt regarded himself as a Christian and we're going to have to accept that.

 * It is simply incorrect to attribute his views to other creeds without hard references - if you're arguing "ecumenity of the spirit", you should extract these considerations to another section named something like "Parallels with other creeds". If you wish to prove it the hard way, I would suggest you prove the oriental explorer Rusbroec (from the Pas de Calais) was linked to Jan van Ruusbroec's family, which WOULD be an interesting addition to our understanding of the roots of European mysticism. The area to research there is genealogy, Jan was almost certainly descended from the Counts of Flanders, but "almost certainly" is not hard documented genealogy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:04, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to find some quotes by Eckhardt to counterbalance S's interpretation - I may even find some Jung on him. ThePeg 10:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Eckhardt's Death
Am I wrong or is the inference in this article that Eckhart might not have died but just disppeared off somewhere else? I may be muddling things up but its pretty clear there is no record of his death and the article suggests he may have just continued his teaching elsewhere. Could he have avoid the stake? ThePeg 10:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Not so. Eckhart had completely and officially submitted to the authority of the Holy Roman See and recanted his supposed doctrinal errors long before the papal bull In agro dominico, condemning certain propositions drawn from his works, not him, was published on March 27, 1329. He was under no danger of "the stake". The bull clearly refers to him as dead. It is the one document that establishes his death as having occurred before March 1329. Since he defended his theology at the process for heresy that the Archbishop of Cologne had instituted against him (February 1327) and then travelled to Avignon to defend himself before the Pope, it is deduced that he died sometime between July 1327 and the end of 1328. If he died anywhere near Avignon, and not on his way back from there, he would undoubtedly have been buried at the Dominican friary at Avignon, an important foundation.

what were the charges
What heresy, specifically, was Eckhart charged with? Or "heresies," I imagine. Jonathan Tweet 20:23, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

 * He had the bad luck to run into the founders of the Inquisition. The head of the Cistercian Order, Cardinal Konrad von Urach (d.1327 as a defeated papabile), Second Papal Legate to the Albigensian Crusade 1220-1223 and founder of the Inquisition, was on the heels of the Cathars, who were not confined to the south of France - his follower Boniface of Brussels was exiled from Paris during the student troubles of Carnival 1229, and was present in Cologne February 1229 - March 1231, investigating the Archbishop of Cologne's activities. This made Boniface enemies, which he added to in his next job as Bishop of Lausanne, chasing the Holy Roman Emperor (and ostensible Muslim) Frederic II, who had not delivered on his commitments to Konrad to undertake a new Crusade. Boniface was eventually the target of an attempted assassination, and retired to Konrad's Abbey of the Cambre just outside Brussels. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:25, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I still don't know what were Eckhart's charges, from the previous comment. He was not a Cathar, was he? Was Boniface out to get Eckhart for some reason?Lynxx2 (talk) 07:58, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Johannes Eckhart
Why Johannes? Show me one - only one hand where "Johannes" is named! There is only one Meister Eckhart and his name is "Eckhart von Hochheim". Forget your Johannes. --Eckhart Triebel (talk) 23:16, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

the article
I am shocked: "Coming into prominence during the decadent Avignon Papacy and a time of increased tensions between the Franciscans and Eckhart's Dominican Order of Preacher Friars, he was brought up on charges later in life before the local Franciscan-led Inquisition." Was ist das für ein Quatsch? Was erzählt der uns hier eigentlich? Eckhart hatte es nicht nötig, von der päpstlichen Seite her "prominent" zu werden, er tritt auch nicht erst durch seinen prozess in "prominence" und mit den hier konstruierten "increased tensions" hatte Eckhart nun soviel wie gar nichts zu tun - und die "lokal Franciscan-led Inquisition" ist reine Fiktion. An diesen Aussagen ist nichts wahr, aber auch gar NICHTS. Eckhart Triebel (talk) 23:55, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

 * See above on the charges against him. Konrad von Urach was the second son of Count Egino von Urach, founder of the House of Wurttemberg, and was Head of the Cistercians - he refused the Papacy in 1227, and did not long outlive the deed. It has been posited that there was a hidden schism within the Great Schism, between the Major Orders, particularly the Benedictines, Franciscans and Cistercians on the one hand, and the mendicant orders represented in Germany by the Dominicans. There most certainly was a plan afoot to move the Papacy to Brussels under the Duke of Brabant and with the help of the de Montforts, a cadet line of their common scion the Duchy of Flanders, as testified by Pope Leo XII in the 1890s, declaring the ArchiAssociation of the Eucharist as being perpetually and universally based there - the Inquisition was publicly understood (Brussels Region Archeaological Atlas vol 10.2, p151) to have placed one of the great relics there. Eckhart was simply a bystander in a larger conflict, between the Muslim Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, and the House of Zahringen, representing the Southern German aristocracy and the Papacy, who could not stand his lifestyle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:53, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Franciscans may have been involved in the early inquisition of the Middle Ages, but evidence is scarce or even falsified. Certainly, they did not torture heretics or even heathens, because it was completely against the tolerant and forgiving nature of their order, in particular against Francis himself. Unknown IP, your are writing completely unwarranted stuff. Eckart was no "bystander"and definitely no "representant of the Southern German aristocracy". Such nonsense cannot be proven by any reference. --KristallograefIn (talk) 17:43, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Superfluous Info
I just removed some info which didn't have anything to do with Meister Eckhart. It's from the Overview section. I'll post it below. If I was wrong, please feel free to re-include it. Alphabet55 (talk) 19:51, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

The lack of imprimatur from the Church and anonymity of the author of the "Theologia germanica" did not lessen its influence for the next two centuries — including Martin Luther at the peak of public and clerical resistance to the irrationality of the Catholic indulgences — and was viewed by some historians of the early twentieth century as pivotal in provoking Luther's actions and the subsequent Protestant Reformation.

“The two eyes of the soul of man,” says the Theologia Germanica,”cannot both perform their work at once: but if the soul shall see with the right eye into eternity, then the left eye must close itself and refrain from working, and be as though it were dead. For if the left eye be fulfilling its office toward outward things, that is holding converse with time and the creatures; then must the right eye be hindered in its working; that is, in its contemplation. Therefore, whosoever will have the one must let the other go; for ‘no man can serve two masters.’“

It's not superflous, it provides some linkage to his philosophical descent, as a key player in proto-Protestantism and, indeeed, the birth of liberal humanism in a time of great feudalism. I think this needs enhancement, rather, so I've reinstated it as a Posteriority section, as distinct from the "Where we are now" which is affected by everything which happened later.

Housekeeping
Hi, just to let folks know I started reading this page, and notice some of the Wiki links had no object to link to, so have started going through taking out the linkage & reverting back to text. While doing so I noticed a comment, rephrased it slightly and inserted reference to support it. I also reformated a couple of references into the citations template. The 'Christianity through the centuries' one didn't make sense, so I re-did it using the info available to men - if I missed something, and you have the actual book, feel free to correct me - but on the internet there are a number of references to this where the author and publisher are mixed up. I went to Google scholar and Amazon to establish these, but if you have an author for a particular section, let me have it and I'll insert in the citation in the appropriate place. I have had an interest in Eckhart for twenty years, and have several translations of his works, but only a few commentaries. Mish (talk) 10:59, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Twentieth century theologians influenced by Eckhart
Was Paul Tillich influenced by Eckhart? I believe he was. I shall leave some one more informed me to note this. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 21:28, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Tillich said: "To say 'God exists' is to deny Him." I'd say that statement itself shows an influence by Eckhart. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:47, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

 * If you want to convince others, or add to the article, that this statement shows direct influence by Eckhart, you need to provide a rationale, or better, a reliable reference.

Heresy
I found this articles about the rehabilitation of Master Eckhart:
 *  Meister Eckhart's rehabilitation after 750 years culminates in the verdict that he never needed a rehabilitation. Such is the summary of the response which the then Master of the Dominicans, Timothy Ratcliffe, received from the Vatican in 1992, and which he had summarized in a letter to Peter Talbot Wilcox, the then President of the British Eckhart Society, dated 15 August 1992.

My main language is french, so I can't edit the english version of the articles. But I would appreciate if someone could edit in order to reflect this informations.

Jacob's Ladder
I've moved these two inline comments to the Talk Page: Joshua Jonathan  -  Let's talk!   07:29, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * "This needs a citation of the actual quote from real life. If it's not citeable, it's not very encyclopedic, and quite misleading to put in a quote that a movie just made up and attributed to the subject."
 * "This section is on Eckhart's portrayal in Pop Culture, accurate or not. It ought to be pointed out if it's made up, but it still shows how the subject is popularly perceived and therefore still relevant information, possibly more so if it's fake or a broad interpretation/popular misinterpretation"

Birthplace
Maybe McGinn's publication has settled the case for English speakers. Yet, it does not seem to have reached Germany so far. In the meantime, I'd prefer to mention both Tambach and Hochheim as potential birthplaces. -- Zz (talk) 15:15, 22 April 2013 (UTC)von Hochheim does infer the Meister was "from" Hochheim. Such spelling is common and accepted in German. Also, consider "Herold von Hochheim", early Bishop of Wurzburg, as an example and is likely from the same lineage.

Matthew Fox
The section on Matthew Fox has several problems. First, it is as much about Fox as Eckhart. I suggest editing to shorten description of Fox (he has his now page, after all) and to state that Fox has written a number of articles and at least one book about Eckhart's theology, and that Eckhardt appears along with other similar medieval theologians, in Fox's Original Blessings, a foundation work of "creation spirituality" (which also has its own page). Second, someone added several statements about Fox's interpretation of Eckhart and the reaction of other scholars that is unsupported by any references. The last sentence has the same problem. This at least needs references, and if there is in fact a significant disagreement, that should be explored in depth. Third, the relationship between creation spirituality and other movements does not belong in this section; that is a topic for the creation spirituality entry. I am going to make the suggested changes and deletions. If someone wants to defend them with references, they can be added back in. Below is the text as it appeared before my edits:

Matthew Fox (priest)|Matthew Fox]] (born 1940) is a former American priest and theologian. Formerly a member of the Dominican Order within the Roman Catholic Church, he was also once a member of the Episcopal Church. Fox was an early and influential exponent of a movement that came to be known as Creation Spirituality. The movement sought to draw inspiration from the mystical philosophies of such medieval Catholic visionaries as Hildegard of Bingen, Thomas Aquinas, Saint Francis of Assisi, Julian of Norwich, Dante Alighieri, Meister Eckhart and Nicholas of Cusa, as well as the wisdom traditions of Christian scriptures. Fox's readings of Eckhart and other Christian mystics has been highly disputed. It has had little positive reception among scholars of medieval mysticism, though he has marked a whole generation's popular perception of Eckhart and others. Creation Spirituality is also strongly aligned with ecological and environmental movements of the late 20th century and embraces numerous spiritual traditions around the world, including Buddhism, Judaism, Sufism, and Native American spirituality, with a focus on "deep ecumenism".

Fox draws heavily on Eckhart for his own theology and whose "Breakthrough" presents an alternative and substantially different view of the nature and significance of Eckhart's thinking from that taken in earlier sections of this article.

CTLandman (talk) 03:19, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Modern Spirituality
The thesis of this section is highly debatable and rests on an idea attributed to a unreliable source, The discussion of colonialism and mysticism is also highly debatable. THis is one theory but there are many others. Throwing Eckhart into this discussion seems unsupported, if not unsupportable. This section should be completely rethought and rewritten, or deleted. CTLandman (talk) 03:54, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * What makes Hanegraaff or King unreliable, you think? See D.T. Suzuki, Mysticism Christian and Buddhist for an example.  Joshua Jonathan   -  Let's talk!   07:57, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Start with the definition of mysticism and Hanegraff. Hanegraff is the leader of a small Christian organization whose goal is to oust "cults" Christian and otherwise. From Wikipedia: "He is an outspoken figure within the Christian countercult movement where he has established a reputation for his criticisms of non-Christian religions, new religious movements or cults and heresies within conservative Christianity. He is also an apologist on doctrinal and cultural issues." He has no formal training in theology, let alone the Bible, no training in comparative religions, and has never published anything like a study of mysticism. Reliable verification requires someone who has some kind of credentials and expertise in the area. He has none.

The first clause, that Eckhart is a "timeless hero" is opinion and recycled from above, where it first appears, also without any support. If the article said that Eckhart was looked to by many etc.etc. - and then cite to works by those others - that would seem appropriate.

And the idea that "mysticism thrives on an all-inclusive syncretism" is patently false. As the wikipedia entry on "mysticism" shows, there have been mystics in almost every religious tradition and almost all of them were embedded within their own religions tradition, for reasons of history and geography if no others. Eckhart is of course a leading example - his mysticism (if it is indeed that) was completely embedded within the Abrahamic/Christian tradition and theology. While of course there has been syncretism, and out of that may have emerged mystics, syncretism is certainly not a defining characteristic of mysticism. In any case, this seems more properly addressed under the "mysticism" article. It is tangential to an article about Eckhart.

I did not say that King was unreliable, but rather that this area is highly controversial. "Orientalism" has been in great dispute in the US and elsewhere for years and was kicked into high gear by 9/11. I have no particular beef with King, or Suzuki for that matter (although Suzuki's area of expertise was religion, not history) but their views are but two opinions among many, many in this area. And using such a loaded term of opinion as "culture wars" would seem to be adding nothing other than argumentation to what should be a factual article. And again, this seems more properly addressed under the "mysticism" article, where the topic could be fully explored.

I'm not sure just what the point of this section is: that Eckhart's theology was a factor in the the modern development of mysticism for at least some individuals? Perhaps just say that, after all, it is just an introduction, and then move on to the examples.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:50, 15 February 2014 (UTC) CTLandman (talk) 21:52, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Hi. Some remarks:
 * It's not Hank Hanegraaff, it's Wouter Hanegraaff. Quite a difference...
 * The article does not say ""mysticism thrives on an all-inclusive syncretism", it says "modern spirituality, which thrives on an all-inclusive syncretism"
 * "their views are but two opinions among many, many in this area" - yeah, that's the kind of relativism which relativizes everything. Wikipedia is absed on WP:RS, Richard King is a reliable source
 * I've rephrased "culture battles" into "these developements and exchanges."
 * Joshua Jonathan  -  Let's talk!   18:21, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification on Hanegraff.

To point out that there are differences of opinions hardly "relativizes everything." What it does do is make clear that, although you may find one source that says one thing, other equally reliable source disagree. THis is what honest scholarship is all about. Inserting only one point of view is fundamentally dishonest, because it misleads casual readers who may believe that the single view expressed is the only view of any particular matter. The wikipedia page on Orientalism uses this introduction to it's discussion of Orientalism and Religion "Due to the colonisation of Asia by the western world, since the 19th century an exchange of ideas has been taking place between the western world and Asia, which also influenced western religiosity.[34]" This is factually supportable, it doesn't try to prove a particular pint of view, it and allows a casual reader to dig deeper if they wish. I suggest replacing "Western monotheism was projected onto eastern religiosity by western orientalists, trying to accommodate eastern religiosity to a western understanding, whereafter Asian intellectuals used these projections as a starting point to propose the superiority of those eastern religions.[66]" with the text from the Orientalism article cited above. It is important to remember that WIkipedia isn't about projecting and protecting our own views however right we might think they are- that is for other forums - but instead providing a clear, factual basis for a casual reader. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CTLandman (talk • contribs) 23:31, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Canley

Canley is a suburban neighbourhood located in CV4, south-west Coventry, England. Canley became part of Coventry as a result of successive encroachment of the latter's boundaries between 1928 and 1932, having historically been part of the Stoneleigh parish. Electorally, it is largely in Westwood ward and partially within the Wainbody and Earlsdon wards.

The area is home to many students attending the nearby University of Warwick.

There was a level crossing adjacent to Canley railway station until 2003, when the road was closed and a foot bridge was built over the railway.

The suburb is bisected by the A45 dual-carriageway, with a major state housing development (built in the early-1950s) lying to the south and an area of private housing (Canley Gardens) situated north of this road towards Canley rail station. Adjacent districts include Cannon Park and Cannon Hill to the east, Tile Hill South to the north and Westwood Heath to south.

History
Canley is known as the site of the main factory of the Standard Motor Company and was all open farmland before 1916. The initial factory was built around 'Ivy Cottage', near the Canley Train Halt and was first used in 1916 to build First World War fighter aircraft. 'Standard' cars were produced there from 1918 onwards. The factory continued to expand over the site throughout the 1920s and most significantly just before the Second World War when two additional Shadow Factories were added. Production of Standard and Triumph cars continued until car production ceased in August 1980 as part of British Leyland's rationalisation, although the Triumph brand survived until 1984 with the last Triumph badged car being built at the Cowley plant near Oxford.

Some of the Triumph car factory site was retained as a technical centre until the mid-1990s but was successively demolished thereafter. A commemorative sculpture of the Standard-Triumph badge now stands on the site of the works, on Herald Avenue, close to the Standard Triumph Club, which is now the only remaining building of the industrial complex where thousands of Coventry people once worked.

Sir Henry Parkes (1815–1896), Australian statesman and five times Premier of New South Wales, was born in Canley, in a cottage off Moat House Lane. Canley Fire Station is in Sir Henry Parkes Road near to the A45. A school named after him in Canley has been demolished.

Schools

 * The Westwood School, a comprehensive secondary school
 * Charter Academy, Castle Phoenix Trust (formed from merging Sir Henry Park School and Alderman Harris School)
 * WMG Academy for Young Engineers, Coventry

Local landmarks
Some of the notable landmarks in the Canley area include:

 * The Phantom Coach public house
 * The Sovereign public house
 * Cannon Park Shopping Centre
 * Canley Fire Station
 * Canley Community Centre
 * Canley Library
 * Canley Evangelical Church
 * St Stephens Church
 * Xcel Leisure Centre
 * Coventry Technical Rugby Club
 * Canley Railway Station
 * Canley Social Club (now demolished)
 * Charter Avenue Industrial Estate

The University of Warwick is situated directly to the south of Canley.

Intelligence Citations Bibliography for Articles Related to Human Intelligence
You may find it helpful while reading or editing articles, or while deciding how to categorize articles, to look at a bibliography of Intelligence Citations, posted for the use of all Wikipedians who have occasion to edit articles on human intelligence and related issues. I happen to have circulating access to a huge academic research library at a university with an active research program in these issues (and to another library that is one of the ten largest public library systems in the United States) and have been researching these issues since 1989. You are welcome to use these citations for your own research. You can help other Wikipedians by suggesting new sources through comments on that page. It will be extremely helpful for articles on human intelligence to edit them according to the Wikipedia standards for reliable sources for medicine-related articles, as it is important to get these issues as well verified as possible. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 05:04, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Jaxartosaurus

Both the generic name (based on the classical name, Jaxartes, for the Syr Darya river of Central Asia) and the specific epithet of the type species (aralensis, referring to the Aral Sea, place the genus in Central Asia rather than China. http://www.users.qwest.net/~jstweet1/lambeosaurinae.htm specifically places it in Kazakhstan. Whether any fossils have been found in China is not clear; the description of the second species as dubious is ambiguous as to meaning. Lavateraguy 16:13, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the addition. The relevant papers seem to be:

 * Riabinin (1937). "The discovery of crested dinosaurs in the Upper Cretaceous Beds of South Kazakhstan." Priroda 9:91
 * Wu, S. (1973). "A fossil of Jaxartosaurus found from Xinjiang." Vertebrata Palasiatica 11 217-218

 * These would indicate a range of both Kazakhstan and China, but I do not have either of these papers. Firsfron of Ronchester  16:42, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
