Talk:George Lewis

Silly entry
Removed this one: George Lewis (Scilly Isles politician), the conservative member for the Scilly Isles, born in the Democratic Republic of Streetly, close friend of Margaret Thatcher. Chris the speller 01:39, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete please?
I don't suppose this could be deleted please? It was done by a friend at school (5 years ago) and I don't really want my name turning up on this on google searches.

Gll 8561 (talk) 16:06, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Could you please specify what you want deleted? Infrogmation (talk) 23:52, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Preferably the whole article, if not just my name.

Gll 8561 (talk) 13:55, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Can it be deleted then? Gll 8561 (talk) 12:35, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

 * The article this is the talk page for George Lewis is a list of articles on Wikipedia about notable people named George Lewis. George Lewis is the name of several notable people who are the subjects of encyclopedia articles. Wikipedia is not going to delete this useful page. You have not stated any reason why it should be deleted.  I'm not sure what you're talking about  was "done by a friend at school (5 years ago)".  Again, what is the problem you are trying to address? Infrogmation (talk) 13:11, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Onizuka Prop Wash Award

The Onizuka Prop Wash Award recognizes the student at the United States Air Force Test Pilot School (USAF TPS) who contributed most to class spirit and morale. The honoree from each class is selected by his or her fellow students rather than by school faculty. The award is named in memory of TPS graduate Ellison Onizuka who perished in the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1986.

History
The Prop Wash Award was introduced at the USAF Test Pilot school in 1956. The award takes the form of a wooden aircraft propeller to which plaques bearing the name of each honoree are mounted. Prop wash refers to the spiral-shaped slipstream formed behind a rotating propeller on an aircraft. The phrase, Illegitimi non carborundum, a mock-Latin aphorism meaning "Don't let the bastards grind you down" is engraved on the face.

The first recipient of the award was Major Joseph W. Rogers from class 56D who would later set a world speed record in the Convair F-106 Delta Dart. Captain Onizuka was also a recipient when he graduated from the Test Pilot School with class 74B. After Onizuka's death, the members of his class requested a rededication of the award. The inscription was changed in June 1988 for the graduation of TPS class 87B.

"There is a lot of Ell here always… I thank you all for giving Ell a permanent place here, because (Edwards) is so important in our lives."

The USAF Test Pilot School participates in an exchange program with other test communities. U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps students from the Naval Test Pilot School at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station, Maryland attend the USAF TPS and vice versa. Foreign students may also attend and include those from the Empire Test Pilots' School at Boscombe Down, England, and the EPNER (École du Personnel Navigant d'Essais et de Réception), the French Test Pilots' School. All students at the USAF TPS are eligible to receive the Prop Wash Award.

Recipients
The following table contains an incomplete list of Onizuka Prop Wash award recipients including name, country (if not the United States of America), military branch (if not the United States Air Force), military rank at the time of the award, and USAF Test Pilot School class number. Individual was killed in a work-related (aviation) accident. Multiple individuals shared the award.

Botany/Mycology

<< Contents Page | Chapter 9 | Chapter 10 |  Chapter 11 >>

Chapter 10. Mycology ~ The Fungi

Introduction

The Fungi (singular is fungus) are a large group of organisms treated within the science of Botany, but not really "plants" in the usual sense of the term. The Fungi are ranked as a kingdom within the Domain Eukaryota. That is, they have eukaryotic cells with distinct nuclei, although in some species divisions between nucleated "cells" are sparse. However, they all lack chlorophyll, and the species are saprophytic, parasitic or mycorrhizal. Included within the Fungi are the well known mushrooms, but the group also includes many microscopic forms, and fungi inhabit every environment on earth, perhaps second only to the bacteria (Chapter 7) in distribution.

Structure

 * Read Mycology ( Follow all links)
 * Read Fungi ( The following links are included: )
 * Mushroom
 * Be sure to read about and understand each of the following terms: basidium, hyphae, mycorrhizae, psilocybin

Another English-language source
is this 1977 article by Hightower, which provides a couple of details on his later years not mentioned in Zhou's thesis. Notably it contradicts the currently cited source in suggesting he never really retired. (The Nanking where he died is not today's Nanjing but rather Shangqiu, the Song dynasty's southern capital.) Footnote 1 also cites earlier research "establishing" Zhou Bangyan's birth and death years. Cobblet (talk) 23:57, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Phyllis Coates

Reruns on TV, September 2022
Thanks for a good article. FYI, the first 50 or so in the series in The Adventures of Superman are being rerun, including the premier. We are watching them all back-to-back and loving it. One thing that is very interesting is that Phillis Coates playing Lois Lane has an equal role with Clark Kent played by George Reeves in fighting for the American way, etc. It is definitely geared for youth, which we were when they were shown in the 1950s. (It's on KPOMCD in Los Angeles, Spectum TV.) -- AstroU (talk) 00:49, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

PS: Here is what my wife reads from our TV screen right now: "DECADES  KPOM-CD 14.1 -- Ontario;   DECADES.com"   ...   Another comment:  -- PS:  Just now Lois Lane says, "Come on Clark," and jumps into the driver's seat in the dominant role, instead of Clark Kent. Of course the third main character is Superman, dominant to both of them. Jimmy and Chief also play prominent roles. -- AstroU (talk) 02:50, 11 September 2022 (UTC) ,

Wikipedia:Meetup/Rijeka/Wiknic

The Great American Wiknic is an annual wiki-picnic campaign held in cities across the United States (with few exceptions elsewhere). The first national Wiknic was held in June 2011, with 16 cities participating. The concept was modeled after the "Wikipedia 10" celebrations and the 2007 Wiknic in New York City. Wiknics are low-impact, with people bringing their own picnic food and perhaps items to share, and can be a great entry point to Wikipedia culture.

2020
In 2020 USA is deep in Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown, so all activities if happening are online including Wiknic!

Online in #Solidarity with USA
Join in for #greatAmericanWIKNIC #2020 online in solidarity with USA Wikimedians <3 Sunday August 16th 9pm CET https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BLy_QfCyQc

Offline in Croatia
In Croatia we make an attempt to organize wiknic for the first time in 2020. It is likely to be in Rijeka sometimes in September in collaboration with Rijeka City Library - American Corner. Other cities, towns and partners are also an option. If successful we might follow-up and extend in 2021 and join this tradition.

Talk:Margaret Osborne duPont

Accuracy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Grand_Slam_related_tennis_records lists Margaret Court as the winner of most mixed doubles at the US Open with 8 but this article says Osborne duPont has nine. Please can someone confirm that this is a contradiction and ideally find out which is right and correct. May post a note on the other article too. Post by Jamie Fox, no account.

Capitalization
In addition to the need to capitalize the initial letter of a sentence, I was already aware that in some languages, it is normal practice to capitalize the first letter of a name such as "duPont" whenever it appears without a name.

I see that this is also the rule for English usage, as expressed in the U.S. Government Printing Office Manual of Style pdf or html versions:

Particles in names of persons

3.13. In foreign names such particles as d’, da, de, della, den, du, van, and von are capitalized unless preceded by a forename or title. Individual usage, if ascertainable, should be followed. Da Ponte; Cardinal da Ponte Den Uyl; Johannes den Uyl; Prime Minister den Uyl Du Pont; E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. Van Rensselaer; Stephen van Rensselaer Von Braun; Wernher von Braun but d’Orbigny; Alcide d’Orbigny; de la Madrid; Miguel de la Madrid 3.14. In anglicized names such particles are usually capitalized, even if preceded by a forename or title, but individual usage, if ascertainable, should be followed. Justice Van Devanter; Reginald De Koven Thomas De Quincey; William De Morgan Henry van Dyke (his usage) Samuel F. Du Pont (his usage); Irénée du Pont

Do any English-language style guides go the other way for use within a sentence, keeping it lowercase even if used without a first name? Gene Nygaard 07:29, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for finding this. No, I am not aware of any English language style guides that mandates "duPont" when it is the first word of a sentence.  However, I think it is borderline disrespectful to capitalize someone's name if their preference is for it not to be capitalized.  And so far, we have no evidence that Margaret Osborne duPont is OK with capitalizing her last name when it is the first word of a sentence.  Tennis expert 11:10, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

 * No, you don't understand. What I was asking is if there is any style guide which says it would even be permissible to say something like "Clapp and duPont teamed up to win 20 Grand Slam women's doubles titles". Or, do they all say—as the GPO Style Manual very clearly does—it should be " "Clapp and DuPont teamed up to win 20 Grand Slam women's doubles titles" when that name is not preceded by a first name or title?
 * Note also that if it wouldn't be capitalized as the first word of a sentence, there couldn't possibly be any issue as to whether or not to capitalize it in the middle of a sentence. Gene Nygaard 14:21, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Bicycles/Maintenance and Repair/Tools and Supplies/Truing Jig

A truing jig, aka a wheel truing stand, facilitates the precise truing or building of a wheel. It consists of fork, similar to a bicycle's front fork, and callipers which allow precise measurement of the position of the rim.

It is possible to make your own truing jib. Start by getting an old bicycle fork and finding a way of supporting it. The easiest way is to find a sturdy box, and drilling a hole big enough to accommodate the fork column. The hole should be tight enough to firmly hold the fork and the wheel which will be supported. The fork is now upside down. It is possible to fashion some kind of true indicator or caliper using a nail or pencil attached on one leg of the fork. A metal strap that can be attached with a screw as a pencil or nail holder works best. I try to avoid using tape, string or rubber band since they have a tendency to move which could affect an accurate reading of the wheel's straightness. Straight wheels tend to turn smoothly without deviation when viewed from the front. I start by bringing the nail as closely as possible to the wheel rim. Turning the wheel by hand, warped wheels will occasionally touch the rim or show a large gap. Wheel spokes work by providing enough pull or release on both sides of the rim so that the rim remains straight. By loosening one spoke, the tension is strengthened on the other side and vice-versa. Ideally the spokes on both sides should be even to maintain optimum rim straightness. A sequence of tightening and loosening both sides of the spokes where necessary is the key to rim straightness.

Wikiversity:Please do not bite the newcomers

Please avoid biting newcomers.

On experience
Experience comes with time. Too often online collaborations turn into social cliques where outsiders are disparaged, and those not already in the know are actively discouraged from participating. When you see a new post on an old topic, don't attack the poster as ignorant, naive or of dubious parentage. Simply direct them to the information they are seeking. Treat each new member with great respect. Each new member offers new knowledge, skills, and specialties. Unless they are obviously trying to be malicious, give them a link to a page that offers help, and don’t discourage them.

More on newcomers
Newcomers and even experienced Wikiversitians may not be familiar with the policies, scope, or mission of Wikiversity. If someone acting in good faith violates a policy, acts outside the scope, or acts counter productively to the mission of Wikiversity, please do not bite them. Please be sensitive, empathetic, tactful, and considerate when letting a user know there is a more standard, accepted, or "proper" way to do something. Sometimes it is best to let a user know about a policy, or tradition. Sometimes just fixing it yourself and not saying anything is the best course of action, and sometimes it is best to just let the user be and let them figure it out on their own. One should use discernment and good judgment in this regard.

Quotes
Everyone at Wikiversity is a newcomer. We are all exploring how to use wiki technology in support of education. We need a "culture of thoughtful, diplomatic honesty... Diplomacy consists of combining honesty and politeness." --Jimbo Wales (December 17, 2006)

 * Reviving this thread some years later. The allegations have led to serious career repercussions for Daniels. I have pared them down to a mere mention of the allegations, since they are as yet unproven, listed only to indicate the effect they have had on his career. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:08, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Extensive content of "Sexual allegations" section
has expanded the Sexual assault allegations section of this article (here, here and here and again reverted to their preferred content here), to included details such as the names of Daniels' accusers and an extensive defense of Daniels regarding these allegations. Since Wikipedia is not a place to litigate cases that are otherwise as yet unsettled by the courts, and since WP:BLP requires that we assume a right of privacy of people who are not the actual subjects of our articles, I believe that this amount of detail is inappropriate. Since these allegations have had a significant impact on Daniels' career, I believe that it is appropriate to mention them, but I believe that we should rely on what reliable sources have said on the matter and not attempt to litigate the matter here by introducing court documents (which are primary sources). I believe further that, since has not contributed to any other area of Wikipedia, that he may have an undeclared conflict of interest regarding this case. I invite DSDWB2020, and any other parties, to comment regarding these edits. I will be posting a link to this discussion at the Biographies of Living Persons Noticeboard, since I believe that the inclusion of the accusers' names in this article violates our WP:BLP policies.

 * I had actually pared down the section further (see this version), noting only the charges, Daniels' denial, and the consequences of the charges, without going into further details since the charges had not yet been litigated. But I'm better with your version than with DSDWB2020's. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:39, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Possible (serious) factual error; definite error in summarizing the content of a reference/source
Good evening, fellow Wiki editors!

This article states:

"On January 29, 2019, Daniels and his husband were arrested in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and were extradited to Texas based on the allegations.[ref]"

HOWEVER, the actual source cited - a news article from January 2019 (link below) only states that they were arrested and that they were facing extradition to Texas, and that they were "... lodged at the Washtenaw County Jail pending extradition to Texas" (My emphasis -- HMT). In a published statement from March 2019 their lawyer states that they were never actually extradited to Texas; rather, they willingly traveled, at their own expense, to Texas, in order to answer charges in court there.

Now, I don't claim to know which version of the story is true - I don't know whether they were extradited or whether they went willingly in order to avoid being extradited. That is why I'm not gonna modify the article at this time, (except for inserting a tag and/or a flag). But someone should look into this, because traveling to appear in court at ones own expense, even if it is done in order to avoid extradition, is very different from actually being extradited.

Here are the two sources: the one already included as the reference, which says that they are facing extradition and that extradition is pending, and which the wiki article erroneously characterizes as saying that they have been extradited:

https://www.mlive.com/news/2019/01/university-of-michigan-opera-professor-husband-charged-with-sexual-assault-in-texas.html

And, their statement through their lawyer saying that they went willingly to Texas and were not actually extradited.

https://www.danielssings.com/press

Good luck sorting it all out!

Best wishes, HandsomeMrToad (talk) 07:24, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Food, Sex & Paranoia

Food, Sex & Paranoia is the third studio album from the British new wave band Furniture, released in 1990. It was produced by Mike Thorne and would be the band's last studio album before their split in 1991.

Background
After signing to Stiff in 1986, Furniture achieved their commercial breakthrough with the single "Brilliant Mind", which reached No. 21 in the UK. However, both the follow-up single "Love Your Shoes" and the parent album The Wrong People failed to continue this success due to Stiff's financial difficulties. The label went into liquidation and was subsequently sold to ZTT, leaving the band to spend the next two years freeing themselves from their contract.

Meanwhile, the band were able to spend time touring with the British Council in countries such as Cyprus, Turkey, Romania and Czechoslovakia. In 1989, having cleared the legal issues with their ZZT contract, the band signed to Arista. They recorded Food, Sex & Paranoia at Wessex Sound Studios and the Stereo Society. Preceding the album was the single "Slow Motion Kisses", which was released in October, but failed to chart. A second single, "One Step Behind You", suffered a similar fate upon release in February 1990. The album was released that same month, but was not a commercial success and saw limited promotion from Arista. By the time of its release, the label had undergone a major reshuffling of their A&R department, which had resulted in the sacking of the team who had signed Furniture to the label. Food, Sex & Paranoia sold approximately 5,000 copies.

The band embarked on a 33-date UK tour during February–March to promote the album. After the album's commercial failure, the band were dropped from Arista and returned to their former label Survival. They continued to tour during 1990–91, though keyboardist Maya Gilder left the band in 1990. They performed at the Reading Festival in 1990 and released the compilation She Gets Out The Scrapbook: The Best of Furniture in 1991. A new album was planned, however the closure of Survival Studios ultimately led the band to split that same year. "One Step Behind You" was covered in 1992 by German singer Marian Gold (of Alphaville fame) for his album So Long Celeste.

Release
Food, Sex & Paranoia was originally scheduled for release by Arista on 6 November 1989, but its release was then delayed until February 1990.

Critical reception
Upon release, High Fidelity News and Record Review said, "Bleak Stuff, the kind usually inspired by reading too many street fashion magazines or believing all the nonsense written about The Velvets. The title hits two out of three but destroys the equation; maybe this mob should watch Tom Jones instead of The Cook, The Thief, His Wife etc." Robin Denselow of The Guardian described the album as "a set of varied, oddball emotional mood songs". He added, "There are thoughtful, gently-pounding dramatic ballads matched with rumbling keyboards or swirling Arabic and Eastern effects, along with muted galloping rockers with low-key vocals. They are not an obvious commercial success, but deserve to survive because of their original material."

Mick Mercer of Melody Maker concluded, "What a record – never knowing from one minute to the next whether you'll be knocked out, or seduced!" He added, "Nobody else does what Furniture do. Oh, granted, Deacon Blue do an idiot's version, but they never get close." Simon Williams of New Musical Express wrote, "Furniture are immensely gifted storytellers, working on the premise that from small aches, monstrous agonies grow. They always fall for the unorthodox elements: the shimmering, economic guitars, low profile yet hard hitting rhythms, even the mysticism of the Far East. Food, Sex and Paranoia is an exquisite oddity." In the US, Steve Hochman of Los Angeles Times commented, "Rather than politics, Furniture's obsessions are all romantic – actually, about the emotionally fatal, all-consuming side of romance. But the co-ed quintet's music is at times as haunting as McCarthy's, sometimes reminiscent of Prefab Sprout or Deacon Blue, though often more textually inventive and dynamic." In his book The Virgin Encyclopedia of Eighties Music, Colin Larkin described the album as "overlooked" and one that "should have resurrected their career".

Spanish/Lesson 1

Introduction
This is the very first lesson in learning a second language, the Spanish language!

This lesson begins with simple greetings, and covers important ideas of the Spanish language. Throughout education, methods of teaching Spanish have changed greatly. Years ago, the Spanish language was taught simply by memory. Today, however, the Spanish Language is taught by moving more slowly and covering grammar and spelling rules.

Again, this is an introduction. If this is the first time you are attempting to learn Spanish, do not become discouraged if you cannot understand, pronounce, or memorize some of the things discussed here.

In addition, learning a second language requires a basic understanding of your own language. You may find, as you study Spanish, that you learn a lot about English as well. At their core, all languages share some simple components like verbs, nouns, adjectives, and plurals. English, as your first language, comes naturally to you and you don't think about things like subject-verb agreement, verb conjugation, or usage of the various tenses; yet you use these concepts on a daily basis.

While English is described as a very complicated language to learn, many of the distinguishing grammar structures have been simplified over the years. This is not true for many other languages. Following the grammatical conventions of Spanish will be very important, and can actually change the meaning of phrases. You'll see what is meant by this as you learn your first verbs ser and estar.

Do not become discouraged! You can do it.

Dialogue 2
Two people - Señor González and Señora Pérez - are meeting for the first time:

Nice to meet you.

Listen to the Dialogue. [[Media:SpanishL1D2.ogg|listen]]

Vocabulary
Exercise: Greetings

Grammar: Subject Pronouns
A few things to keep in mind:
 * It is normal in Spanish to omit the personal pronoun (i.e. you seldom say yo estoy bien, but estoy bien, and you ask ¿Cómo se llama? instead of ¿Cómo se llama usted?) because the specific conjugation of a verb usually indicates which person is the subject. However, usted, él and ella all use the same verb form so if you choose to drop the pronoun in this case it must be clear in the situational context which pronoun is being referenced.
 * In Spain the vosotros form can be used to address a group of familiar people (e.g. friends), and ustedes is used with more formality (e.g. recent acquaintances). In Latin American countries ustedes is used also for a familiar group of people; in these countries the "vosotros" form is almost never used.
 * In Argentina, parts of Uruguay, and some other countries, the tú form is replaced with vos.
 * Usted and ustedes can be abbreviated as Ud. and Uds., respectively.

Grammar: Verbs ser and estar
Spanish has two different words that can be translated with "to be". Ser is used more for more permanent characteristics ("Soy Luis") whereas estar is used for more temporary or changeable conditions, such as location ("La papelera está al lado del escritorio", "The trash can is beside the desk") and feeling ("Estoy bien"). A good way to remember when to use "estar" is by using the rhyme, "To tell how you feel or where you are, always use the verb estar." In future lessons we will come back to the uses of ser and estar.

Here we will look at the conjugations in the present indicative.

Ejemplos de los verbos ser y estar (Examples of the verbs ser and estar)
Note: *This use of estar is the Spanish present progressive which is used for actions in progress. More about the present progressive in Lesson 4

Dialect Note: Spanish which uses the vos form conjugates ser with the following irregular form: sos.

Exercise: Verbs ser and estar

Hay
Spanish uses a different verb (haber) to express "there is " and "there are". The form of haber used for this purpose is hay, for both singular ("there is") and plural ("there are").

Spanish alphabet
Here is the normal Spanish alphabet. However words aren't alphabetized by it. Please read the notes and sections below. (Blue letters are a part of the normal English alphabet.)

Audio: [[Media:Spanish alphabet.ogg|OGG]] (646KB)

Although the above will help you understand, proper pronunciation of Spanish consonants is a bit more complicated:

Most of the consonants are pronounced as they are in American English with these exceptions:
 * b like the English b at the start of a word and after m or n; otherwise is pronounced like a cross between a v and a b (in Spanish there's no distinction for b and v)
 * c before a, o, u and other consonants, like English k
 * c before i and e like English th in “think” (in Latin America is like English s)
 * ch like ch in “cheese”
 * d between vowels (even if it starts a word following a word ending in a vowel) or at the end of a word, like English d in dental
 * g before e or i like the Scottish pronunciation of ch in “loch”, except that it is voiced
 * g before a or o like g in “get”
 * h is always silent (except in the digraph ch)
 * j like the Scottish pronunciation of ch in “loch”, except that it is voiced
 * ll traditionally pronounced like lli in “million”, it is now pronounced like English y in “yes”, except that it is more voiced
 * ñ like ni in “onion” (or gn in French cognac)
 * q like the English k
 * r slighty trilled; like a soft d except at the beginning of a word or after l, n or s where it is trilled
 * rr should be trilled longer than a single r
 * v like the English b at the start of a word and after m or n; otherwise is pronounced like a cross between a v and a b (in Spanish there's no distinction for b and v)
 * z like the English th (in Latin America, like English s)

Vowel pronunciation
The pronunciation of vowels is as follows:

The "u" is always silent after q (as in "qué" pronounced kā).
 * a [a] "La Mano" as in "altar"         (ah)
 * e [e] "Mente" as in "melow" (e)
 * i [i] "Sin" as in "into"  (i)
 * o [o] "Como" as in "opera". (short o)
 * u [u] "Lunes" as in "lunatic" (oo)

Spanish also uses the ¨ (diaeresis) diacritic mark over the vowel u to indicate that it is pronounced separately in places where it would normally be silent. For example, in words such as vergüenza ("shame") or pingüino ("penguin"), the "u" (sounds the same as the "u" in "ultra") is pronounced similarly but with more strength to the English "w" forming a diphthong with the following vowel: [we] and [wi] respectively. It is also used to preserve sound in stem changes and in commands.

Semi-Vowels

 * y [ʝ] "Reyes" similar to the y of "yet", but more voiced (in some parts of Latin America it is pronounced as s in "vision" [ʒ] or sh in "flash" [ʃ])

At the end of a word or when it means "and" ("y") it is pronounced like i.

Acute accents
Spanish uses the ´ (Acute) diacritic mark over vowels to indicate a vocal stress on a word that would normally be stressed on another syllable; Stress is contrastive. For example, the word ánimo is normally stressed on a, meaning "mood, spirit." While animo is stressed on ni meaning "I cheer." And animó is stressed on mó meaning "he cheered."

Additionally the acute mark is used to disambiguate certain words which would otherwise be homographs. It's used in various question word or relative pronoun pairs such as cómo (how?)& como (as), dónde(where?) & donde (where), and some other words such as tú (you) & tu (your), él (he/him) & el (the).

Emphasis
The rules of stress in Spanish are:

1. When the word ends in a vowel or in "n" or "s" the emphasis falls on the second to last syllable.

Eg: Mañana, Como, Dedos, Hablan.

2. When the word ends in a consonant other than "n" or "s", the emphasis falls on the last syllable.

Eg: Ciudad, Comer, Reptil.

3. If the above two rules don't apply, there will be an accent to show the stress.

Eg: Fíjate, Inglés, Teléfono.

4. SPECIAL CASE: Adverbs ending in -mente, which are derived from adjectives, have two stresses. The first stress occurs in the adjective part of the adverb, on the syllable where the adjective would normally be stressed. The second stress occurs on the -men- syllable.

Eg: Solamente, Felizmente, Cortésmente.

Interactive labs (Java applet)

This page discusses and organizes the use of Java applets as a framework for the creation of Interactive labs for topics in Mathematics and the Physical Sciences.

Technical issues
The use of Java applets as a framework for interactive learning resources aims to use the open technology of integrating them within a web page, as well as the wide availability of "plugins" for all major web browser to execute the Java code. The most natural subject for these resources are graphical simulations and "laboratory" courses in Mathematics and the Physical Sciences. To keep the actual labs and tools free and open, the source code will have to be licensed under the GNU General Public License.

The Java applet is run on the learner's computer and needs to be downloaded within the Wikiversity page that contains the course description or instructions. It therefore will be packaged in a single JAR file. The HTML read by the browser will contain an "Applet" HTML tag (or "Object") per applet on that page in order to download the JAR file and to start the applet execution. The HTML tags must be generated by the MediaWiki software, when the (yet to be defined) wiki applet "reference" is added to a Wikiversity page.

The JAR file contains precompiled class files and other support files. To keep the learner's computer safe from unwanted or detrimental software, the source for the class files need to be open to audits and the creation and upload of JAR files need to follow a trustworthy process. Additionally, the applets should be regarded as "untrusted" by the web browser, so that the restrictions of the Java sandbox are enforced.

Projects
(Add any other projects, here)
 * Provide an open source development area (in progress)
 * Create JAR support in a test MediaWiki installation (in planning stage)
 * Ask for comment and feedback from Wikiversity and MediaWiki communities
 * Integrate applet support in official MediaWiki release
 * Create framework and labs

Proposal for the management of applets
Both for the sake of free cooperation and also security uploading and enabling pre-compiled jars with unknown content is not reasonable. The conclusion was made that applets need to be compiled on the server side, and the source code could be a subject of public code review.

One of the recent projects that fully implements exactly these policies and actually builds Free encyclopedia with Java applets enabled is Ultrastudio.org. The licensing of the server side code is not yet obvious but both applets and content are under various Free licenses. This project is still not particularly big and it is not clear how successful it will be. The project is using applets from the Wikiversity project, described below (see, for instance).

Framework and development of labs
Since the source for all source code must be licensed under GPL, available to the public, and the development of all code should be (in principle) open to all volunteers interested in this project, a dedicated SourceForge project was initiated (see external references).

A general framework will be constructed to provide a common infrastructure (e.g. passing parameters from the wiki, like the language used in the lesson), and a set of tools and graphical "widgets" to ease the creation of a lab. The ultimate goal of this framework would be a simple, modular set of "parts" that can easily be assembled, even by volunteers with only a basic knowledge of Java.

Portal:Music/Introduction

Music is an art form, whose medium is sound and silence and depends on cultural context to be recognized as music. The common elements of music are pitch (which includes melody and harmony), rhythm (which is associated with concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture (which are sometimes termed the "color" of a musical sound). (Music on Wikipedia)

Western music
The goal of the 'Theory and composition' department is to equip the student with the tools and skills necessary to compose, arrange and analyze music.

Also, I was thrilled to discover that Craig Counsell was blessed with the opportunity to score the winning run in the 1997 World Series. Of course, I remembered that it was Rentería who delivered the hit, but I didn't remember who scored until I looked about an hour ago. Continuing with the baseball talk, the Yankee celebrations of 1999 were kind of strange. For one, they used non-alcoholic champagne.

Just a question upon release datas
In the last entry for Books "Getting into the vortex" it says: "Release date November 15, 2010. Published by Hay House, 2009." What is the difference between releasing and publishing a book? Why can this happen in different years? This way it was published in 2009, but was available almost a year later, in November 2010. Or is this just a mistake? Thanks.

Tourism in Turkey Tourism in Turkey is focused largely on a variety of historical sites, and on seaside resorts along its Aegean and Mediterranean Sea coasts. Turkey has also become a popular destination for culture, spa, and health care. At its height in 2014, Turkey attracted around 42 million foreign tourists, ranking as the 6th most popular tourist destination in the world.[1] This number however declined to around 36 million in 2015, and to around 25 million in 2016However, recovery began in 2017, with the number of foreign visitors increasing to 32 million, and in 2018 to 39,5 million visitors

Istanbul is one of the most important tourism spots not only in Turkey but also in the world. There are thousands of hotels and other tourist-oriented industries in the city, catering to both vacationers and visiting professionals. Turkey's largest city and metropolis and a leading global city, Istanbul, has a number of major attractions derived from its historical status as capital of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. These include the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (the "Blue Mosque"), the Hagia Sophia, the Topkapı Palace, the Basilica Cistern, the Dolmabahçe Palace, the Galata Tower, the Grand Bazaar, the Spice Bazaar, and the Pera Palace Hotel. Istanbul has also recently become one of the biggest shopping centers of the European region by hosting malls and shopping centers, such as Metrocity, Akmerkez and Cevahir Mall, which is the biggest mall in Europe and seventh largest shopping center in the world. Other attractions include sporting events, museums, and cultural events. In January 2013, the Turkish government announced that it would build the world's largest airport in Istanbul. The operation has an invested 7-billion euros and was planned to have the first part of a four-part plan completed by 2017. As a consequence of the continuous fall in tourism to Turkey in recent years, as of October 2016 in Istanbul's famous bazaar once crowded shopping streets are not as crowded as before, "the streams of tourists who used to visit the market each day have trickled to a halt The number of foreign tourists visiting Istanbul declined to 9.2 million in 2016, a 26 percent decrease compared to 201.

Other destinations Beach vacations and Blue Cruises, particularly for Turkish delights and visitors from Western Europe, are also central to the Turkish tourism industry. Most beach resorts are located along the southwestern and southern coast, called the Turkish Riviera, especially along the Mediterranean coast near Antalya. Antalya is also accepted as the tourism capital of Turkey.[9] Major resort towns include Bodrum, Fethiye, Marmaris, Kuşadası, Çeşme, Didim and Alanya. Also Turkey has been chosen second in the world in 2015 with its 436 blue-flagged beaches, according to the Chamber of Shipping.[10] Lots of cultural attractions elsewhere in the country include the sites of Ephesus, Troy, Pergamon, House of the Virgin Mary, Pamukkale, Hierapolis, Trabzon (where one of the oldest monasteries is the Sümela Monastery), Konya (where the poet Rumi had spent most of his life), Didyma, Church of Antioch, ancient pontic capital and king rock tombs with its acropolis in Amasya, religious places in Mardin (such as Deyrülzafarân Monastery), and the ruined cities and landscapes of Cappadocia. Diyarbakır is also an important historic city, although tourism is on a relatively small level due to waning armed conflicts. Ankara has an historic old town, and although it is not exactly a tourist city, is usually a stop for travelers who go to Cappadocia. The city enjoys an excellent cultural life too, and has several museums. The Anıtkabir is also in Ankara. It is the mausoleum of Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey. Gallipoli and Anzac Cove – a small cove on the Gallipoli peninsula, which became known as the site of World War I landing of the ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) on 25 April 1915. Following the landing at Anzac Cove, the beach became the main base for the Australian and New Zealand troops for the eight months of the Gallipoli campaign. Development of tourism

Foreign tourist arrivals increased substantially in Turkey between 2000 and 2005, from 8 million to 21.2 million, which made Turkey a top-10 destination in the world for foreign visitors. 2005 revenues were US$17.5 billion which also made Turkey one of the top-10 biggest revenue owners in the world. In 2011, Turkey ranked as the 6th most popular tourist destination in the world and 4th in Europe, according to UNWTO World Tourism barometer.a See World Tourism rankings. At its height in 2014, Turkey attracted around 42 million foreign tourists, still ranking as the 6th most popular tourist destination in the world.[1] From 2015, tourism to Turkey entered a steep decline.[13][14] In 2016, only around 25 million people visited Turkey. 2016 is described as the second year of huge losses on both visitor numbers and income, a "year of devastating losses", with Turkish tourism businesses stating that they "cannot remember a worse time in the sector".[2] The number of foreign visitors started recovering in 2017 with 32.4 million visitors being recorded. The recovery was partly due to intense security campaigns and advertising. The number of Russian tourists increased by 444% after the recovery of bilateral relations, resulting in Russia becoming the top tourism market for Turkey once again Increases were also recorded in the British, Dutch and Belgian markets.[15] In early 2017, the Turkish government urged Turkish citizens living abroad to take their vacations in Turkey, attempting to revive the struggling tourism sector[16] of an economy that went into contraction from late 2016.[17] After the April 2017 constitutional referendum, another sharp drop in tourist bookings from Germany was recorded.[18] In 2018, however, the German Tourism Industry Association recorded a growth in German tourist bookings for Turkey, with a 70% increase being recorded by the TUI Group alone.[1
