United States Government/The Legislative Branch

Congress
As has been stated earlier, Congress includes two distinct houses- the Senate and the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives represents the people of the States based upon the population of each, while the Senate allows two Senators to each state regardless of population.

The Legislative
The Congress is the Legislative Branch. Its main function is to make laws. It also oversees the execution of these laws, and checks various executive and judicial powers. The Congress is bicameral- it is composed of two houses. One house is the House of Representatives, the other is the Senate.

The House of Representatives, or House for short, is currently composed of four hundred and thirty-five members. Each of the fifty states is allocated one or more representatives based on its population as calculated by the decennial (once in ten years) census. Each state is guaranteed at least one representative. A state that is allocated more than one representative divides itself, as state procedures dictate, into a number of districts equal to the number of representatives to which it is entitled. The people of each district vote to elect one representative to Congress (States that have only one representative allocated choose at-large representatives- the state votes as one entire district). The District of Columbia and a number of U.S. territories have been permitted to elect delegates to the House. These delegates may participate in debates, and sit and vote in committee, but are not allowed to vote in the full House. Every House member faces re-election in an even-numbered year and is elected to a two-year term. The House is presided over by a Speaker, who is directly elected by the members of the House.

The Senate is the upper house of the United States' legislative branch, possessing only one hundred members to the house's four hundred thirty-five. Each state chooses two senators, regardless of that state's population. The Constitution originally dictated that a state's senators were to be chosen by the state's legislature; after the Seventeenth Amendment was ratified in 1913, senators were elected directly by the state's population. In contrast to the House's two-year terms, Senators are elected to a six-year stint in office. In addition, only one-third of the Senate stands for election during an even year. These differences between the two houses were deliberately put into place by the Founding Fathers; the Senate was intended to be a more stable, austere body, whereas the House would be more responsive to the people's will.

The Vice-President is President of the Senate, but he/she only votes if there is a tie. The Senate also chooses a President Pro Tempore to preside in the Vice-President's absence (though, in practice, most of the time, senators from the majority take turns presiding for short periods).

The Senate and the House are both required to approve legislation before it becomes a law. The two houses are equal in legislative power, but revenue bills (bills relating to taxation) may only originate in the House. However, as with any other bill, the Senate's approval is still required, and the Senate may amend such bills.

The Senate holds additional powers relating to treaties and the appointments of executive and judicial officials. This power is known as "advice and consent." The Senate's advice and consent is required for the President to appoint judges and many executive officers, and also to ratify treaties. To grant advice and consent on treaties, two-thirds of the Senators must concur (agree).

While most votes require a simple majority to pass, it sometimes takes three-fifths of senators to bring a bill to a vote. This is because Senate rules hold that a bill cannot be voted on as long as it is being debated--and there is no limit on how long a senator may debate a bill. Senators sometimes use this rule to filibuster a bill--that is, continue debating a bill endlessly so that it cannot be voted on. The only way to end a filibuster is for three-fifths of all Senators to vote for a cloture resolution, which ends all debate and brings the bill up for voting. Use of the filibuster tends to be controversial. Whichever party is in the majority tends to call its use "obstructionism," while the other side sees it as an important check on the majority.

The House has the sole power to impeach federal executive and judicial officers. According to the Constitution, officers may be impeached for "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” The Senate has the sole power to try all such impeachments, a two-thirds vote being required for conviction. The Constitution requires that any individual convicted by the Senate to be removed from office. The Senate also has the power to bar that individual from further federal office. The Senate may not impose any further punishment, although the parties are still subject to trial in the courts. As the Vice-President (being next-in-line to the Presidency) would have an obvious conflict of interest in presiding at a trial of the President, in such cases, the Chief Justice presides. Interestingly, no similar provision prevents the Vice-President from presiding at his or her own trial.

House of Representatives
Every ten years, the United States conducts a Census to determine the population of each state. Then, each state is apportioned, or allocated, a number of seats based on its Census population, with the more populous states receiving more seats than the less populous ones. Currently, one seat equals roughly 600,000 constituents. However, no matter how low a state's population is, it is always entitled to at least one seat.

The state then conducts a process known as redistricting. In this process, the state divides itself into a number of districts of equal population; each district may then elect one representative. Of course, in states entitled to only one representative, the entire state is one district and redistricting does not occur. (See gerrymandering)

In addition to representatives for the states, five American territories- the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the US Virgin Islands, and American Samoa- each choose non-voting members. Puerto Rico chooses a "Resident Commissioner" for a four-year term, while the others choose "Delegates" for two-year terms.

Representatives hold office for two-year terms. The election for Representatives is held on the Tuesday immediately after the first Monday in November of every even numbered year. A Representative actually takes office on January 3rd after the election.

No person may be a Representative unless he qualifies under the Constitution as follows. The requirements are: at least twenty-five years of age, inhabitance in the state of election, and citizenship of the United States for at least seven years.

Though no specific number of Representatives is set by the Constitution, the law of the United States sets the number of Representatives at 435.

The House of Representatives elects a Speaker who presides over the House. The Speaker is traditionally the leader of the majority party of the House. The Speaker of the House does have a significant role outside of the Congress in that she or he is third in line to the Presidency.

Because of its size, the House relies heavily upon fixed rules and strict timetables for debate. When bills are debated on the floor of the House, each party's leader is allocated a fixed amount of time to present their argument for or against the bill, and they can appropriate this time to members of their party as they see fit. During House debates, it is common for representatives to "yield their time" to one another. Times for debate and other procedures are set by the House Rules Committee, which is generally considered to be one of the most powerful committees in Congress.

Senate
Each state is entitled to two senators regardless of population. Originally, the state legislatures chose the senators. However, the people of the states choose their own senators at present.

Senators hold office for six-year terms. Elections are held every two years, at the same time as the election for Representatives. The Senators are classified into three separate classes. At each election, the Senate seats of one particular class are up for election.

Constitutional requirements for Senators are slightly more strict than those for Representatives. The qualifications are: at least thirty years of age, inhabitance in the state of election, and citizenship of the United States for at least nine years.

The Vice President of the United States presides over the Senate and holds the title of President of the Senate. His power is considerably lesser than that of the Speaker of the House. He also does not have a vote in the Senate, unless the Senate is tied. As the Vice President normally does not attend unless there is a likelihood of a tie vote, the Senate chooses one of its members to be President of the Senate pro tempore, or temporarily. The President pro tem, as he is often called, is normally the most senior Senator of the majority party. Just as in the house, the President or President pro tem does not preside during most meetings; this task is often given to new Senators so that they may learn the procedures of the body. This is not as easily possible in the House because of the much greater authority of whoever presides over the Representatives.

In comparison to the House, the Senate has relatively few procedural rules, and no fixed schedules for debate. It is possible for a Senator to continue speaking for hours on end to delay unwanted legislation: this tactic is called a "filibuster." Any individual Senator is also allowed, by Senate rules, to stop the introduction of a bill with a motion from the floor, although this is almost never done in practice.

Party leaders, committees, and caucuses
Both major political parties (the Republican Party and the Democratic Party) have designated floor leaders in both houses of Congress. The floor leader for the majority party is called the House (or Senate) Majority Leader, while the floor leader for the minority party is called the House (or Senate) Minority Leader. The second-in-command of each party's delegation is called the Whip, as their job is to "whip" other members of the party into action on various legislative measures.

Each party's leadership is responsible for allocating its members to committees. There are a number of "standing committees" in each house, dedicated to various government functions such as the armed forces, education, and transportation. At any time, there are also several "select committees" that are set up for more timely problems such as government reforms. Occasionally, both houses of Congress will establish a "joint committee" to deal with certain issues.

There are also many less formal associations in Congress, known as "caucuses," which are formed by members interested in various issues, such as relations with specific countries, ethnic issues, and industrial sectors.

Ruswarp Hydro

Ruswarp Hydro or Whitby Esk Energy, is a Hydroelectric generation scheme that operates on the River Esk at Ruswarp, North Yorkshire, England. The project uses an Archimedes Screw in a reverse direction to generate electricity and was funded by people in the community. Around 4 tonne of water pass along the screw per second, which generates enough electricity to power 45–48 homes.

History
Esk Energy (Yorkshire) was formed as an industrial and provident society in 2008 to explore the idea behind a green energy scheme in Eskdale. Initially, windpower was researched but it was decided that a wind turbine would be visually intrusive in the North York Moors National Park. After a river survey and an approval was made by the Environment Agency, the collective pressed ahead with the hydro scheme.

Provisional planning for the scheme was given the go-ahead in October 2009 and a co-operative was formed to raise the capital needed for the project. The money raising culminated in a share option to raise extra funding of the £450,000 that was required for the scheme. With the funding secured, construction started in May 2012 with the plant being commissioned into service on 12 December 2012.

The Archimedes Screw that was built for the scheme arrived on site in September 2012 and was installed by October of the same year. The screw is 2.9 m wide, 11 m long and will allow a maximum 4 tonne of water to pass through a second. The screw is wide enough to allow fish to move through downstream without coming to harm. At the same time that the project was being built, the North York Moors Park Authority re-built the fishpass adjacent to the turbine. The screw generates up 160,000 Kilo-watt hours per year which is enough electricity to power 45–48 homes, and reduces carbon emissions by up to 70 tonne per year.

Even though the National Park Authority was satisfied that the development would have no detriment to the ecology or hydrology to the river, some in the community were upset that they were not fully informed as to the prospect and possible ramifications of the hydro scheme. Parts of the local community were unaware that when the river was in low flow, the water would not go through the screw, but go over the weir or through the fish pass as normal, as they claim, this had not been communicated to them.

United States Government/The Federal System

Introduction
The United States is exactly that--a Union of states. Each state has its own individual powers. However, that does not mean that the states have power to legislate on all matters. The Constitution of the United States spells out the powers of the federal government and of the "several states." The Union government (known as the federal government) has its own fields of legislation, and if federal legislation conflicts with the state laws, the federal legislation prevails. If this occurs, the state must defer to the federal government. The alternative, that any state may at any time leave the Union and thus be free from Union interference in the state's internal affairs, was tried during the American Civil War.

Types of Federalism
There are two types of federal systems. The first, dual federalism, holds that the Union and the state are equal; under this view of federalism, the Union government only has the powers expressly granted to it, while the states retain all other powers. The second view, cooperative federalism, states that the federal government is definitively superior to the state government, and the federal government should stretch its powers as far as possible. The US is a Union that does not completely fit either definition. The type of federalism in effect really depends on who is in power at the time. In any case, the Constitution prevents stretching federalism too far in either extreme.

All powers retained by the states are known as reserved powers. Those specifically granted only to the Union government are known as enumerated powers. Finally, matters over which both the Union and the state governments have control are known as concurrent powers.

The Tenth Amendment provides that the Union government has only the powers expressly designated to it by the Constitution, and the states control all other matters.

Enumerated powers relate to the following:
 * Regulation of interstate and foreign commerce
 * Immigration and Citizenship
 * Bankruptcy
 * Weights and Measures
 * Currency
 * Copyrights and Patents (Special rights granted to authors and inventors relating to the writing or discovery)
 * Crimes at sea
 * Military
 * Declaration of War
 * Control of the District of Columbia
 * Federal Courts
 * "Necessary and Proper"- The necessary and proper clause allows the Union government to make laws necessary to utilize other powers. For instance, this clause allows the government to jail persons who violate laws created under the aforestated powers.

Reserved Powers
As has been mentioned, the states have control over all matters not controlled by the Union government. Some of these matters include:
 * Education
 * Police protection
 * Licensing
 * Control local governments
 * Regulate individual and corporate activities in order to protect and enhance public health, welfare, safety, morals, and convenience.

Concurrent Powers
Several powers belong concurrently to the Union and the state governments. These include:
 * Transportation
 * Taxation
 * Make and enforce laws
 * Establish courts
 * Borrow
 * Spend money for general welfare
 * Take private property for public purposes, with just compensation.
 * Charter banks and corporations

User:Fififofum96/Evaluate an Article

Evaluate an article
This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.

 * Name of article: TERF
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate: I think this article is relevant to the class because it talks about feminism and transgender issues, and it also looks like it may have some issues, mostly issues of bias.

Lead

 * Guiding questions

 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic? Yes, it explains the definition iof the acronym TERF.
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? Yes.
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article? No.
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed? It is concise.

Content

 * Guiding questions

 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic? Yes.
 * Is the content up-to-date? Yes.
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? No.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions

 * Is the article neutral? There is a message above the article that says the neutrality of the article is disputed, so that is a sign that it is likely not neutral.
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? Yes, one source says " "most of the language used by TERFs is specifically designed to be maximally hurtful, harmful, and insulting to trans people". which sounds biased because of the word 'most', without evidence that most of their language is like this.
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Yes.
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another? Yes.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions

 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? Yes.
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic? Yes.
 * Are the sources current? Yes.
 * Check a few links. Do they work? I found one link that does not work- the Trans Advocate link. However, it works in the citation section, just not in the article.

Organization

 * Guiding questions

 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read? Yes.
 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors? No.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions

 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? The conversation in the talk page sometimes gets heated, since many people have strong opinions on this topic, for example, one person compared TERFS to Trump. Many people are saying that the article is biased against trans-exclusive radical feminists. However, some people are also saying that both sides should not be represented because TERFS are a fringe group in feminism and not the majority.
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? It is part of the LGBT Studies WikiProject. It's rated as a Start article, which is "An article that is developing but still quite incomplete. It may or may not not cite adequate reliable sources." according to the Wikipedia page on Content Assessment.
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? We have not talked about this specific topic in class, although we have talked about trans issues.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions

 * What is the article's overall status? I think the article is mostly complete with just a few issues.
 * What are the article's strengths? It clearly defines the topic.
 * How can the article be improved? It should have more sources from those who oppose the word "TERF" and people who consider themselves to be gender critical feminists in order to remove bias.
 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed? It's mostly complete. Once it adds more sources with opposing views, I think it will be complete.

Optional activity

Santa Maria della Fava

Santa Maria della Fava, also originally known as Santa Maria della Consolazione, is an ancient Roman Catholic church in the sestiere of Castello in Venice, Italy.

The suffix of della Fava (of the bean) attributed to the church, bridge and piazza has a number of attributed derivations. One explanation is that this area in Venice was used for the commerce of beans or the home of pastry shops for bean cake. A more colorful legend, perhaps for consumption of tourists, is that a man smuggling salt and beans was apprehended at the site, but when he kneeled before a local icon of the Madonna painted on a wall of Ca' Dolce, the salt from his bag disappeared, and thus he escaped imprisonment. The church then was built to house the miraculous icon. Finally, the church may have been endowed by the Fava family from Ferrara.

The original church at the site was completed by 1500. While by 1662, it was under the jurisdiction of the Procuratoria of St Mark, it later was under the order of Saint Phillip Neri. The reconstructed, but unfinished, church we see today was designed by Antonio Gaspari in 1711, while the apse and presbytery (1750) were completed by Giorgio Massari. The interior of the church has a famous altarpiece of Saint Anne, Young Mary, and Saint Gioacchino, (1732) by Tiepolo. It also houses a Virgin with St Phillip Neri by Piazzetta. A series of statues of Saints and Evangelists were carved by Giuseppe Bernardi. Flanking the altar, which was designed by Massari are two angels by Giovanni Maria Morlaiter.

Anteos menippe

Anteos menippe, the great orange tip or orange-tipped angled-sulphur, is a neotropical butterfly of the family Pieridae.

Distribution and habitat
This species is present from Mexico to South America. These butterflies can be found in Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru and Panama. They prefer lowland areas and riverbanks.

Description
Anteos menippe can reach a wingspan of 80 - 90 mm. In these fairly large butterflies the upperside of the males is pale yellow with pale orange (sometimes pink orange) large markings on the pointed forewing tips (as the common name suggests), with two dark brown spots and a dark brown border. Both sexes have a cryptic pale yellow to pale green leaf-like underside, with a pink disc dot on the front and rear wings. The females have two forms, one similar to the male and the other white, with black markings on the forewing edges. The underwings have several odd shaped orange markings.

Biology
Caterpillars of Anteos menippe feed on plants of the Brassicaceae and Fabaceae (Cassia). Adults feed on the nectar of Cassia species. They are migrant along rivers.

I participated in the first Wikipedia conference Wikimania 2005, I gave a presentation about use of wikis in education, brainstorming with wikis

Abstract of my Wikimania 2005 presentation: The author suggest in this presentation how wiki can be used in on-line distance teacher education as a brainstorming tool, peer assessment activity, and a tool to develop accessment criterias for e-portfolio based learning environment.

I participated in Wikimania 2006 in Boston and gave a presentation about wikibooks and webquests.

Abstract of my Wikimania 2006 presentation: "This paper explores how educators can use Wikibooks.org and Wikipedia.org when creating constructivist learning environment on the Web. Educators can design Wikibooks that link together Wikipedia articles and include student-centered and authentic inquiry-based learning tasks. These learning tasks could be Webquests. A WebQuest is a model to teach with the web that was developed in early 1995 at San Diego State University by Bernie Dodge with Tom March. A Webquest is an inquiry oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet. Open content such as Webquests as part of a Wikibook can make the writing and updating of a webquest a collaborative process for teachers and can also make possible for learners to interact with the task - rewriting it or making changes such as adding links to resources, maintaining links collections, providing tips and messages and adding their own findings/solutions to problems thus changing the task for future learners travelling on the same learning path. "

Advanced Classical Mechanics/Linear Motion

We will examine the dynamics of a particle that is free to travel along only one dimension. It could be restricted to travel along a line or in a circle for example. The results for one-dimensional motion of a single particle provide an foundation to understand motion in more than one dimension and the dynamics of many-particle systems.

General Results
Before looking at some specific examples let's look at a rather general case. A particle moves along one dimension subject to a force that only depends on position along that dimension. We have

$$ m \ddot x = F(x). $$

Let's define the kinetic energy of the particle to be

$$T=\frac{1}{2}m \dot x^2.$$

The rate of change of the kinetic energy is

$$ \dot T = m \dot x \ddot x = \dot x F(x) $$

and let's calculate the total change in the kinetic energy from one time to another

$$ T_2 - T_1 = \int_{t_1}^{t_2} \dot T d t = \int_{t_1}^{t_2} \frac{d x}{d t} F(x) d t = \int_{x_1}^{x_2} F(x) d x = V_1 - V_2 $$

where we have defined the potential energy

$$ V(x) = -\int_{x_0}^x F(x) dx. $$

If we rearrange things we get

$$ T_2 + V_2 = T_1 + V_1 $$

so $$E=T+V$$ is a constant over the motion. This is the conservation of energy. We can invert the integral to calculate the force in terms of the potential energy

$$ F(x) = -\frac{dV}{dx} $$

or we can calculate the velocity of the particle as a function of position using the fact that energy is conserved $$ E = m \dot x^2/2 + V(x) $$ so

$$ \frac{1}{2} m \dot x^2 = E - V(x). $$

In particular the motion is restricted to the region where $$V(x) \leq E$$.

The Pendulum
Let's consider a small ball of mass $$m$$ suspended from a pivot by a light rod of length $$l$$. The ball is restricted to move in a vertical circle. It is useful to write the position of the ball in terms of the angle $$\theta$$ that the rod makes with the vertical direction.

The position of the bob is

$$ x = l \sin \theta,  y = -l \cos \theta $$

using Cartesian coordinates. The force is $$F_y = -m g$$. Let's construct the potential energy

$$ V = -\int_0^y F_y d y' = \int_0^y m g d y' = m g y = -mg l \cos \theta $$

and the kinetic energy

$$ T = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 = \frac{1}{2} m \left ( \dot x^2 + \dot y^2 \right ) = \frac{1}{2} m \left ( l^2 \cos^2 \theta \dot \theta^2 + l^2 \sin^2 \theta \dot \theta^2 \right ) = \frac{1}{2} m l^2 \dot \theta^2. $$

The Period

Let's say the bob is released at an angle $$\theta_0$$, how long does in take to reach the bottom, $$\theta=0$$. This is one quarter of the period of the pendulum. The total energy of the bob is

$$ E = T + V = - m g l \cos \theta_0 = \frac{1}{2} m l^2 \dot \theta^2 - m g l \cos \theta. $$

We can solve this equation for $$\dot \theta$$ to get

$$ \dot\theta = \frac{d \theta}{d t} = \left [ \frac{2 g}{l} \left ( \cos \theta - \cos \theta_0\right ) \right]^{1/2} $$

We can solve this differential equation by the separation of variables

$$ -\sqrt{\frac{l}{2g}} \int_{\theta_0}^0 \frac{1}{\sqrt{\cos \theta - \cos\theta_0} } d \theta = \int_0^{P/4} d t = \frac{P}{4} $$

where $$P$$ is the period of the pendulum. The integral is not elementary but we can do it numerically or using special functions. However, if $$\theta$$ is small we can use $$\cos\theta \approx 1-\theta^2/2$$ to get another integral

$$ P \approx 4 \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} \int_0^{\theta_0} \frac{1}{\sqrt{\theta_0^2 - \theta^2}} d \theta = 4 \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} \int_0^1 \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - u^2}} d u $$

$$ \approx \left. -4 \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} \arccos \theta \right |_0^1=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} $$.

We can also calculate the period as a function of amplitude numerically or using special functions

Bounded and Unbounded Motion
The motion of the pendulum has two different characters depending on the initial energy of the bob. In the previous example we considered a situation where the bob starts without any motion, so the initial energy is purely potential. On the other hand, the energy of the bob could be more arbitrary. Let's write

$$ E = \frac{1}{2} m \dot \theta^2 - m g l \cos \theta. $$

Remember that the total energy of the particle is defined up to an additive constant. The cosine ranges from -1 to 1, so if

$$ E < m g l $$

the motion of the bob is periodic because at some value of $$\theta$$ the velocity of the bob vanishes and then changes sign. Specifically,

$$ \theta_{max} = \arccos \left ( \frac{E}{m g l} \right ). $$

On the other hand if $$E>mgl$$ the equation has no real solution. In this case the velocity of the bob doesn't change sign and the bob goes round and round, slowing as it goes over the top.

Motion near Equilibrium
The motion of a particle can only be in equilibrium if the total forces on it vanish. If the force only depends on the position of the particle (as it does for a conservative force), then the slope of potential energy must vanish at the equilibrium point because $$ F(x) = - V'(x). $$

For simplicity (and without loss of generality) we can take the point of equilibrium to be $$x=0$$ and take the potential energy to be zero at this point. We can expand the potential energy as a Taylor series about any point. About the point of equilibrium we have

$$ V(x) = V(0) + x V'(0) + \frac{1}{2} x^2 V''(0) + \cdots. $$

For the equilibrium point the first two terms vanish so we have

$$ V(x) \approx \frac{1}{2} k x^2~{\rm where}~k=V''(0). $$

The motion of a particle near almost any point of equilibrium is described by this potential energy, so it appears often in all branches of physics and it is useful to analyze in some detail. If the constant $$k$$ is positive, the potential energy curve is concave up. The motion of a particle of any energy is periodic between the points where $$E=V(x)$$,

$$ x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{2E}{k}}. $$

On the other hand, if $$k$$ is negative, the particle approaches the origin and slows down as it gets closer. If $$E<0$$, the particle turns around at

$$ x = \pm \sqrt{-\frac{2E}{k}}. $$

If the energy of the particle is positive it surmounts the barrier and continues travelling on the other side.

The force corresponding to the potential energy function is $$F=-kx$$, yielding an equation of motion

$$ m \ddot x + k x = 0. $$

This is a linear differential equation for $$x(t)$$ with constant coefficients. Such equations can generally be solved by linear combinations of exponential functions. Let's try the substitution

$$ x(t) = A e^{a t} + B e^{b t} $$

to get

$$ m A a^2 e^{a t} + k A e^{a t} + m B b^2 e^{b t} + k B e^{b t} = 0 $$

which we can solve for any values of $$A$$ and $$B$$ as long as

$$ a = \sqrt{-\frac{k}{m}} $$ and $$ b = -\sqrt{-\frac{k}{m}}. $$

If $$k$$ is negative, it is handy to use the related hyperbolic functions to look at the motion

$$ x(t) = C \cosh p t + D \sinh p t\, $$

where $$p=\sqrt{-k/m}$$. From the discussion earlier if the energy of the particle is less than zero, then the motion is restricted to one side of the barrier and the variable $$x$$ always has the same sign. Looking at the solution, this means that $$ $$ On the other hand, if the energy is positive we have $$|D|>|C|$$.
 * C|>|D|.

If $$k$$ is positive, the constants $$a$$ and $$b$$ are imaginary. In this case we can use

$$ x(t) = C \cos \omega t + D \sin \omega t\, $$

where $$\omega=\sqrt{k/m}$$.

Alternative Solution
We can also solve for the motion using the same techniques as we used for the pendulum. For conservative linear motion this is always possible, but for motion in several dimensions, one can use this technique only if there are additional conserved quantities. Using the conservation of energy has the advantage that it doesn't appear that we are guessing for the solution. The energy of the particle is conserved

$$ E = T + V = \frac{1}{2} m {\dot x}^2 + \frac{1}{2} k x^2. $$

We can solve this equation for the velocity of the particle as a function of position

$$ {\dot x} = \frac{d x}{dt} = \pm \sqrt{ \frac{2E}{m} - \frac{k}{m} x^2 }. $$

We can solve this differential equation by the separation of variables

$$ \int_{t_0}^{t_1} dt = \pm \int_{x_0}^{x_1} \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m} - \frac{k}{m} x^2 }} dx = \pm \sqrt{\frac{m}{2E}} \int_{x_0}^{x_1} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{k}{2E} x^2 }} dx $$

We have four possibilities depending on the signs of $$E$$ and $$k$$. If $$E$$ and $$k$$ are both positive the integral is

$$ t_1 - t_0 = \pm \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} \left [ \arcsin \left (\sqrt{\frac{k}{2E}} x_1 \right ) -  \arcsin \left (\sqrt{\frac{k}{2E}} x_0  \right ) \right ] $$

and if we invert this formula we get

$$ x_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{k}} \sin \left [ \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \left ( t_1 - t_0 \right ) + \arcsin \left (\sqrt{\frac{k}{2E}} x_0  \right )\right ] $$

where we have dropped the $$\pm$$ sign for clarity.

If $$E$$ is negative and $$k$$ is positive, there is no solution. If $$k$$ is negative, the solutions are unbounded. For positive $$E$$ we have

$$ x_1 = \sqrt{-\frac{2E}{k}} \sinh \left [ \sqrt{-\frac{k}{m}} \left ( t_1 - t_0 \right )  + {\rm arcsinh} \left (\sqrt{-\frac{k}{2E}} x_0  \right )\right ] $$

and for negative $$E$$ we have

$$ x_1 =  \sqrt{\frac{2E}{k}} \cosh \left [ \sqrt{-\frac{k}{m}} \left ( t_1 - t_0 \right ) +  {\rm arccosh} \left (\sqrt{\frac{k}{2E}} x_0  \right )\right ]. $$

Complex Representation
We found earlier that the general solution for small oscillations was

$$ x = A e^{pt} + B e^{-pt}. $$

When $$k$$ is positive, the constant $$p$$ is purely imaginary. It is customary to define $$p^2=-\omega^2=-k/m$$, yielding the periodic solution

$$ x = A e^{i \omega t} + B e^{-i \omega t}. $$

This solution is of course a complex number. However, both the real and imaginary parts of this solution are also solutions of the differential equation, or one could let $$A={\bar B}$$ yielding the real solution,

$$ x = (c - i d) (\cos \omega t + i \sin \omega t) + (c + i d) (\cos \omega t - i \sin \omega t) = 2 c \cos \omega t + 2 d \sin \omega t $$

that we obtained earlier. In general we considering periodic phenomena, we will use solutions of the form $$x(t)=A e^{i\omega t}$$ with the proviso that since the physical quantity $$x$$ that we will take the real part of the solution.

Damped Linear Oscillator
We found that the motion of a particle near a position of stable equilibrium under a conservative force approximates that of a simple harmonic oscillator. There may be some energy loss as well, so there may be a force that depends on the velocity. If we take $$x$$ and $$\dot x$$ as small quantities, a good approximation to the total force is

$$ F = -k x - \lambda \dot x $$

yielding an equation of motion

$$ m \ddot x + \lambda \dot x + k x = 0. $$

Using the earlier results we will try a solution of the form $$x=A e^{pt}$$ which yields an equation

$$ A e^{pt} \left ( mp^2 + \lambda p + k \right ) = 0. $$

The roots of this equation are

$$ p = -\frac{\lambda}{2m} \pm \sqrt { \left ( \frac{\lambda}{2m} \right )^2 - \frac{k}{m} }. $$

There are three regimes of the damping.

Large Damping
If

$$ \left ( \frac{\lambda}{2m} \right )^2 > \frac{k}{m}, $$

then both roots for $$p$$ are real and negative. Specifically we have

$$ \gamma_{\pm} = \frac{\lambda}{2m} \pm \sqrt { \left ( \frac{\lambda}{2m} \right )^2 - \frac{k}{m} }. $$

and the solution

$$ x = A e^{-\gamma_+ t} + B e^{-\gamma_- t}. $$

At late times, the second term dominates and the damping time is approximately $$1/\gamma_-$$.

Small Damping
If

$$ \left ( \frac{\lambda}{2m} \right )^2 < \frac{k}{m}, $$

then both roots for $$p$$ are complex and the general solution is

$$ x = {\rm Re} \left ( A e^{i\omega t - \gamma t} \right ) = a e^{-\gamma t} \cos \left ( \omega t - \theta \right ) $$

where $$\gamma=\lambda/(2m)$$,

$$ \omega = \sqrt{ \omega_0^2 - \gamma^2 } $$

and $$\omega_0^2 = k/m$$.

We can define the quality factor or 'Q' of the oscillator to be

$$ Q = \frac{m\omega_0}{\lambda} = \frac{\omega_0}{2\lambda}. $$

Critical Damping
In the limiting case we have $$\omega_0=\lambda$$ and the two roots for $$p$$ coincide. The resulting solution $$ x = a e^{-\gamma t} $$ cannot be general because a second-order differential equation but have two constants of integration. Here we have

$$ x = \left ( a + b t \right ) e^{-\gamma t} $$

Driven Oscillators
We can imagine some force driving the oscillator. Perhaps someone is pushing on a child on a swing. We get the following equation of motion,

$$ m \ddot x + \lambda \dot x + k x = F(t). $$

This is an inhomogeneous equation of motion. The general solution to such an equation is the solution to the homogeneous equation (which has two constants of integration) plus a particular solution to the equation. To find the particular let's consider a periodic driving force

$$ F(t) = F_1 e^{i \omega_1 t}. $$

Since the equation of motion is linear, the particular solution for the sum of several driving forces is the sum of the solutions for each driving force. Let's look for a solution that varies at the same frequency as the driving force

$$ x(t) = A_1 e^{i \omega_1 t}. $$

Substituting this into the equation of motion yields an equation for the amplitude of the oscillation

$$ A_1 \left ( -m \omega_1^2 + i \lambda \omega_1 + k \right ) = F_1 $$

and solving for the amplitude yields

$$ A_1 = \frac{F_1}{m} \frac{1}{\omega_0^2 - \omega_1^2 + 2 i \gamma \omega_1}. $$

The amplitude is complex and we can divide it into a magnitude and a phase $$a e^{-i \theta_1}$$. Using the fact that $$1/A_1 = 1/a e^{i \theta_1}$$ we have

$$ a = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\left ( \omega_0^2 - \omega_1^2 \right )^2 + 4 \gamma^2 \omega_1^2 }} ~{\rm and}~ \tan \theta_1 = \frac{2\gamma \omega_1}{\omega_0^2 - \omega_1^2}. $$

This yields the real general solution to our equation of the form

$$ x = a_1 \cos \left (\omega_1 t - \theta_1 \right ) + a e^{-\gamma t} \cos \left ( \omega t - \theta \right ). $$

The second term that depends on the initial conditions decreases exponentially. After a long time this transcient can be neglected and the oscillations are solely governed by the driving force.

Genealogy/Work backwards

Working backwards from yourself to your most distant ancestors is a critical method in tracing one's own ancestry. Although it requires discipline, it is extremely important to systematically work backwards in time through the record trail, exhausting all record sources for each person, before working on their parents and grandparents. Without working systematically backwards, it becomes more and more easy to miss a crucial piece of evidence, or to rely on a hypothesis or guess as the foundation for later efforts. Use of a checklist for every person you are researching can make this methodical task easier.

In order to properly work backwards, one should use evidence in one generation regarding the previous generation as your foundation.

Birth, marriage, and death certificates, both civil and ecclesiastic, often name, or even describe the occupation of, the bride or groom's father and mother. Many times the certificate's subject's place of birth is given, and sometimes the place of the parents' birth as well. For example, old civil birth records (1865–1910) in New York City, found at the Municipal Archives, have a field for Father, Father's Place of Birth, Mother (with maiden name), and Mother's Place of Birth. Similarly, old ecclesiastic records from the villages around Kaiserslautern in southern Germany often describe the fathers of both groom and bride, the fathers' residences, and occupations. Less often in the oldest records, the mother is named. However, using either record, one would certainly establish a solid footing for looking into the previous generation.

However, a single record, such as a birth, is not enough if further records are available. If one readily finds the civil birth record, it can serve as a guide for the location of the same person's ecclesiastic baptismal, christening, or circumcision records, which may confirm, conflict, or expand upon the information in the civil record.

Further research should be conducted upon your subject, however. Marriage and death certificates and records, both civil and church, land records, coroner's reports, voter rolls, census returns, and numerous other pieces can add to your understanding of a person's parents and their history.

In many cases, you will find information about several different generations at the same time.

Hedda Lundh

Hedda Lundh (1921–2012) was a Danish journalist and schoolteacher who, under the German occupation of Denmark in World War II, was a Danish resistance fighter. Based at the time in Aarhus, she is remembered as a railway saboteur, explosives expert and courier in the resistance movement.

Early life
Born on 29 September 1921 in Korsør, Hedda Lundh was the daughter of the newspaper editor Theodor Lundh-Jensen (1884–1952) and Alpha Tusnelda Emilie Winckler (1887–1973). The youngest of three sisters, she was brought up in a middle-class home where her father called her his "boy" as she climbed trees, joined the scouts and cut her hair short. She completed her secondary school education at Aurehøj Gymnasium, matriculating in 1940, a few months after the German troops arrived. She then began to study literature at the University of Copenhagen. On 28 December 1940, she married Carl-Einar Maaløe. When her husband began to work in Aarhus in 1942, she continued her studies at Aarhus University.

Resistance work
It was in Aarhus that she joined an independent group of students under Morten Ruge who carried out sabotage work on the railways. They later joined the official Aarhus resistance movement under the leadership of Willy Samsing. Lundh became so proficient in handling explosives that she was sent to train other resistance members. There were also other women in Lundh's group, all helping to distribute weapons and explosives parachuted in by the British, sending them to resistance groups throughout Denmark. Lundh also acted as a telephone contact, forming part of a network of resistance workers whose addresses were kept secret from each other.

In June 1944, the two groups Lundh had been involved in were discovered by the Gestapo. Most of the male members were sent to concentration camps in Germany while the women were imprisoned near Padborg. By a stroke of luck, Lundh and her husband avoided arrest and fled to Sweden where they spent the remainder of the war. Maaløe became a member of the Danish Brigade but, as a woman, Lundh was not allowed to join.

Post-war career
After the war, Lundh continued her studies, graduating with an MA in literature in 1952. From 1949 to 1960, based mainly in Paris, she covered cultural events for Social-Demokraten, worked for the press service at the Danish embassy, and taught in French high schools. In 1962, she returned to Aurehøj Gymnasium as a teacher. She was recognized as an inspiring teacher who made literature lessons surprisingly exciting.

Hedda Lundh died on 2 March 2012 and is buried in Gentofte Cemetery.

Talk:FC Barcelona 2–8 FC Bayern Munich

Requested move 17 August 2020

The result of the move request was: Withdrawing due to the arguments raised above. A discussion to handle the other cases may be started at WT:WPF. Eumat114 (Message) 13:38, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

FC Barcelona 2–8 FC Bayern Munich → Barcelona 2–8 Bayern Munich – As per precedents, "Barcelona" is usually in favour of "FC Barcelona" in match titles, e.g. in Barcelona 6–1 Paris Saint-Germain, and similarly with "Bayern Munich" instead of "FC Bayern Munich", e.g. in Bayern Munich 1–2 Norwich City (1993). Eumat114 (Message) 12:45, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. RedPatchBoy (talk) 16:25, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Oppose - the correct naming convention AFAIK is to use the article of the name and the year, see e.g. Chelsea F.C. 2–4 Bradford City A.F.C. (2015). As such, I would suggest this is left where it is, or possibly moved to FC Barcelona 2–8 FC Bayern Munich (2020), though in cases like this I don't necessarily think the year is needed. Losing the 'FC' means it could refer to anything, a flight code or a train code or whatever. Having the 'FC' makes it clear it's a football match. GiantSnowman 16:31, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I actually think the Barcelona 6–1 Paris Saint-Germain article should be moved to FC Barcelona 6–1 Paris Saint-Germain F.C. Same for FC Bayern Munich 1–2 Norwich City F.C. (1993). – PeeJay 19:55, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose The official team names have FC in them (as is the case with the example) and so this article is in the correct place while the "example" should be moved. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:41, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment. I don't know, but many of the match articles seem to omit the "FC" or whatever in front, and it may be because of WP:COMMONNAME. But whatever, if as some of you said that the existing articles should be moved then this issue might be raised at WP:WikiProject Football. Eumat114 (Message) 11:04, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Jessa Seewald

Jessa Lauren Seewald (née Duggar; born November 4, 1992) is an American television personality. She is known for being part of the cast of TLC's reality shows 19 Kids and Counting (2008–2015) and Counting On (2015–2021). She also co-authored a book with her sisters Jana, Jill and Jinger titled Growing Up Duggar: It's All About Relationships.

Television
Seewald began her public life as a member of the family featured in the documentary 14 Children and Pregnant Again (2004), which talks about daily life of the family from the "time they wake up" to the "time they go to sleep". The documentary aired on the Discovery Health Channel. Another documentary, Raising 16 Children was produced on the same channel in 2006, when her sister Johannah was born. This was followed by another feature, On the Road with 16 Children about a family cross-country trip.

On September 29, 2008, 19 Kids and Counting (formerly 18 Kids and Counting and 17 Kids and Counting) began as a regular series based on the Duggar family. The series was cancelled in 2015 due to her brother Josh's scandals. Another series, Jill & Jessa: Counting On, starring Seewald and her sister Jill, premiered later in 2015. The series was cancelled in 2021 due to Josh Duggar's arrest.

Book
With three of her sisters, Seewald co-wrote Growing up Duggar, a book published by Howard Books, in 2014. The book describes growing up in the Duggar home, social relationships, and their religious beliefs.

Personal life
Seewald was born in Tontitown, Arkansas USA, as the fifth child and the third daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's 19 children. She married her boyfriend of 14 months following a 3 month long engagement. They have five children. In 2023, she revealed she had a miscarriage in December 2022.

Advocate
In a June 2015 interview on The Kelly File, Seewald identified herself as one of the girls sexually abused by her oldest brother, Josh Duggar, when he was a teenager. She described the abuse as "mild inappropriate touching," saying it occurred while she was sleeping and fully clothed. Seewald further stated she became aware of the abuse after her parents told her what had occurred following her brother's confession. While Seewald described the abuse as "very wrong," she decried those referring to her brother as a "child molester" or a "pedophile" or a "rapist", saying, "that is so overboard, and a lie, really." Regarding the police reports describing the abuse while she was a minor being released to the media, Seewald said, "the system that was set up to protect kids...it's greatly failed."

Sven Olov Lindholm

Sven Olov Knutsson Lindholm (8 February 1903 – 26 April 1998) was a Swedish Nazi leader, active in far right politics from the 1920s to the 1950s. This included leading the Nazi party named Svensk socialistisk samling (SSS; literally "Swedish Socialist Union"); despite its name, this party was widely regarded as propagating a fascist/Nazi ideology.

In later years, during the 1970s and 1980s, he renounced his former belief and anti-semitism, and stated he believed the Holocaust perpetrated by Nazi Germany had happened and that it was a crime. He quit the Nazi movement, and became a supporter of the political left and the peace movement.

Biography
Born in Jönköping Municipality, Lindholm joined the Swedish army at an early age, rising to the rank of Sergeant. Stationed in Stockholm, he was initially drawn to Elof Eriksson, a proto-fascist who emphasised anti-communism and anti-Semitism. He soon joined Konrad Hallgren in setting up the Sveriges Fascistiska Folkparti (Swedish Fascist People's Party) – which became known as Sveriges Fascistiska Kamporganisation (Swedish Fascist Combat-Organization) – serving as organizer and then leader of the group.

Lindholm visited Nuremberg in 1929 and as a consequence abandoned Italian fascism in favour of Nazism and as a result he played a leading role in both the National Socialist People's Party of Sweden and its successor the Swedish National Socialist Party. The 6% Lindholm captured in Gothenburg in the 1932 election represented a high point for the Swedish Nazis. However Lindholm had grown tired of the leadership of Birger Furugård as he had grown more attracted to Strasserism than Furugård's straight Nazism. In 1933 he formed the Nationalsocialistiska Arbetarpartiet to this end.

The new group, which adopted the swastika, took, for propaganda reasons, a more anti-capitalist line and organized its own youth group, the Nordisk Ungdom (Nordic Youth). By 1938 Lindholm had become more critical of the government of Germany, and attempted to reorganise the group as a more Swedish version of Nazism, reinventing them as the Svensk Socialistisk Samling (SSS, "Swedish Socialist Union").

Lindholm returned to the army in 1941 as a Fanjunkare in the artillery. He maintained an ambiguous relationship with Germany during war-time, attacking Operation Weserübung, yet also helping to recruit men for Adolf Hitler. During the war, Lindholm and his party was planning for, and in secret hoped for, a German invasion of Sweden that could lead to the creation of a Swedish puppet-state under Lindholm and the party as "Swedish Quislings". Secret plans to deport Jews and others, and plans to construct concentration camps inside Sweden, was drawn up by the party. They gathered death-lists of hundreds of Jews which were later (likely when Lindholm and the others realized Sweden would remain neutral and that Hitler was losing) hidden well and some most likely destroyed. Such lists was discovered in the 1970s but no documents has been found showing Lindholm was ever questioned about these plans and lists.

Svensk Socialistisk Samling continued to be active until 1950, after which Lindholm went into semi-retirement, with only minor involvement in far right youth groups maintaining his activity.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Lindholm stated in public to Swedish media that he no longer was antisemitic, saying that there's good and bad people in all races and that he didn't support his former ideology.

He and Vera Oredsson, his then-wife, separated because of Lindholm's growing criticism of Nazi ideology. He quit the Nazi movement, and instead became active in the left-wing peace movement and peaceful environmental left-wing politics.

The House That Dripped Blood

The House That Dripped Blood is a 1971 British anthology horror film directed by Peter Duffell and distributed by Amicus Productions. It stars Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Nyree Dawn Porter, Denholm Elliott, and Jon Pertwee. The film is a collection of four short stories concerning a series of inhabitants of the eponymous building. All of the stories were originally written, and subsequently scripted, by Robert Bloch.

Plot
Framework part 1

Shortly after renting an old country house, film star Paul Henderson mysteriously disappears and Inspector Holloway from Scotland Yard is called to investigate. Inquiring at the local police station, Holloway is told some of the house's history.

Method for Murder (Fury #7, July 1962)

Charles Hillyer, a hack writer who specialises in horror stories, and his wife Alice, move into the house. Charles begins working on a novel focusing on Dominic, a murderous, psychopathic strangler; Charles becomes simultaneously enamoured and disturbed by the character. Charles soon starts to see Dominic, who begins stalking and tormenting him.

Charles begins seeing a psychologist, Dr. Andrews, who suggests Dominic is a split personality formed by him getting into Dominic's mindset to write the novel. Charles' visions of Dominic become even more pronounced. He sees Dominic strangling Alice, only for her to claim that Charles had been strangling her. At another session with Dr. Andrews, Andrews suggests Dominic is the result of darker sides of Charles' personality being released by writing the novel, though Charles is sceptical. Suddenly, Dominic arrives and strangles Dr. Andrews while Charles watches in horror.

At the house, Dominic approaches Alice, only to reveal that he is actually Richard, her lover. Richard, an actor, had been pretending to be Dominic to drive Charles insane, so that Alice and Richard could take the money made from his novel and run off together. Alice gets a call from the police, and learns that both Dr. Andrews and Charles had been strangled to death. Alice asks Richard why he had killed them, as it was not part of the plan, only for Richard to reveal he now believes he is Dominic. Richard/Dominic then strangles Alice while laughing maniacally.

Framework part 2

Sergeant Martin informs Holloway that Richard/Dominic was later found standing over Alice's body, laughing. He says he believes that it was not merely a case of Richard/Dominic being driven to madness by the role, but some effect of the house itself. Holloway dismisses this as absurd, so Martin tells him another story, of the next tenant to inhabit the house.

Waxworks (Weird Tales Vol. 33 #1, January 1939)

Retired stockbroker Philip Grayson moves into the house. Though initially he occupies himself with his hobbies, he quickly becomes lonely. One day, while wandering around town, he happens upon a wax museum. Grayson explores the museum and finds a sculpture of Salome which resembles a dead woman he had been in love with. The museum's proprietor explains that he based the likeness of the sculpture after his late wife, who had been executed after murdering his best friend. Disturbed, Grayson vows never to return.

His friend, Neville Rogers arrives at his home while travelling on business. Grayson eagerly invites him to stay the night, and it becomes clear the two had both been romantic rivals for the same woman; however, the two had reconciled after her death. The next day, Grayson takes Neville around town, and the two spot the wax museum. Though Grayson tries to persuade him not to, Neville enters the wax museum and spots the sculpture, becoming obsessed with it. Neville tries to leave town, but is unable to abandon the sculpture. Staying at a local motel, he calls Grayson and informs him of his predicament. When Grayson arrives, he finds Neville has left for the wax museum. Grayson goes to the museum, and finds Neville's severed head has been added to an exhibit. The proprietor arrives and reveals he had framed his wife for his friend's murder, so that he could cover her corpse in wax and keep her to himself forever. However, men continue to become enamoured with her, and some, like Neville, become obsessed, which puts him into a murderous rage. The proprietor then murders Grayson with an axe, and adds his head to the Salome exhibit.

Framework part 3

Holloway asks if Henderson moved in next, and is told that there was one other tenant before him. However, Holloway does not stay around to hear this story, believing the whole thing preposterous, and instead decides to confer with the estate agent, A.J. Stoker. Stoker tells Holloway that he "tried to warn them" of the house's "secret", and asks Holloway if he has "guessed it yet". Holloway ignores this, dismissing this too as absurd, and instead asks him what happened to the tenant before Henderson. Stoker explains.

Sweets to the Sweet (Weird Tales Vol. 39 #10, March 1947)

Widower John Reid moves into the house along with his pyrophobic young daughter Jane. John hires former teacher Ann Norton to tutor Jane. Ann gradually bonds with Jane, and she helps Jane get over her fear of fire and teaches her how to read, but begins to suspect John is abusive: he does not allow her to play with other children or own toys, and does his best to keep her isolated.

Norton confronts John about his parenting, and asks if he blames Jane for the death of his wife, to which John responds that he is glad his wife is dead. Norton manages to get John to allow her to buy Jane some toys; when John discovers a doll amongst the toys bought, he snatches it from Jane and tosses it in the fire. Jane begins to secretly read books about witchcraft. One night, during a blackout, John discovers some of the candles are missing. John angrily questions Jane about this and slaps her, to Ann's horror. Jane secretly uses the missing candles to form a wax voodoo doll, which she uses to leave John bedridden.

He reveals to Ann that Jane's mother was a witch, and that Jane is as well; the reason for his parenting methods were to stop Jane from harming anybody. When Jane begins to attack John via the doll once again, he instructs Ann to find the doll and take it from Jane to stop her from killing him. Ann finds Jane standing next to the burning fireplace holding the doll; Ann tries to convince her to give her the doll, but Jane tosses the doll into the fire. Ann listens in horror as John burns to death and Jane smiles evilly.

Framework part 4

Holloway dismisses this story as the most ridiculous so far, and demands the realtor tell him about Henderson. Stoker clarifies that he warned Henderson not take it, not believing it would be "right for his personality", but states that he gave in once Henderson insisted. He then tells his final story.

The Cloak (Unknown May 1939)

Temperamental veteran horror film actor Paul Henderson moves into the house while starring in a vampire film being shot nearby. Henderson, a great fan of the horror genre, is angry over the lack of realism in the film, particularly over the cloak worn by his character (who happens to be a vampire). He decides to purchase a more accurate cloak, and to that end stops at an antique shop run by the enigmatic Theo von Hartmann. Von Hartmann offers him a black cloak after listening to Henderson's demands, and Henderson purchases it. Before he leaves, von Hartmann tells him to use the cloak for its intended purpose.

While in his makeup room, Henderson finds that when he wears the cloak, he has no reflection. Later that day, while shooting a scene where he sucks the blood from his costar and girlfriend Carla, Paul begins genuinely trying to suck her blood even after the scene ends. A horrified Carla demands he stay away from her. At midnight, the witching hour, Paul puts on the cloak again as a test. He grows fangs and begins to fly, much to his horror.

Paul reads in the newspaper that von Hartmann's shop has burned down and von Hartmann's corpse has been found inside; the corpse was identified as being several hundred years old. Paul realises that von Hartmann was a vampire, and that he gave Henderson the cloak so that he could pass his powers on to Henderson, allowing him to die. Henderson apologizes to Carla and invites her over to his home; he explains to her his predicament, but she is skeptical and demands he prove it by putting on the cloak. Henderson is reluctant, as it is midnight, but he ultimately complies. Paul is relieved to find that nothing happens, but he quickly realises that the cloak had been swapped out for a prop. Carla dons the cloak and reveals she is actually a vampire sent to turn Henderson into another vampire, as most vampires admire his portrayal of their kind. Carla flies towards a screaming Henderson and begins to turn him into a vampire.

Framework part 5

Holloway refuses to believe Stoker and goes to the house, despite it being nearly midnight and the house having no electricity. He explores the house by candlelight, eventually breaking into a locked basement where he finds and kills Henderson, now a fully transformed vampire. He is himself then killed by Carla.

The next morning Stoker walks up to the house and breaks the fourth wall by talking to the audience — asking if they understand the secret of the house: That it reflects the personality of whoever is living in it and treats them accordingly. He muses that perhaps the audience would be suitable, and "that there is nothing to fear, provided [they're] the right sort of person".

Production
Freddie Francis was wanted for the director's chair but he had prior commitments to a film in Hollywood, California that ultimately fell through.

Originally, director Peter Duffell wanted to have the title Death and the Maiden as he used Franz Schubert's composition of the same title in the film. Producer Milton Subotsky insisted on The House That Dripped Blood, telling Duffell "We're in the marketplace, we have to use that title". Not one drop of blood appears in the actual film.

When Peter Duffell was engaged the participation of actors Lee, Cushing and Pitt had already been decided by the producers. All other actors were cast by Duffell.

Jon Pertwee later claimed that the film was meant to be a comedy-horror film and was initially filmed in that way. According to Pertwee, during the production "the producer came in, took one look at what we are doing and went raving mad" insisting it was to be a horror film and not a comedy. This meant a change of tone, but the material which had already been filmed remained, resulting in the film dipping in quality and edits to remove comedy elements from Pertwee's sequences. Pertwee also admitted that he intentionally based his character, the horror actor Paul Henderson, on his co-star and friend Christopher Lee. During the production Lee realised that Pertwee was basing his performance on an actor, but did not know it was based on him. A scene where Jon's character talks about favourite roles, he says that he prefers Bela Lugosi's Dracula rather than the chap who plays him nowadays (meaning Christopher Lee in the Hammer Films genre).

Critical reception
Roger Greenspun of The New York Times wrote in a mixed review that he was "of several minds" about the film, calling the first two stories "as dull in development as they are in idea. But the latter two stories, though necessarily too short and too schematic, generate some interest, and humor, and even a bit of characterization." Variety called it "one of the most entertaining of its genre to come along in several years and should prove strong opposition to the general monopoly of that market by Hammer Films ... even for filmgoers who don't usually follow the shocker market, this one is worthwhile." Kevin Thomas of The Los Angeles Times wrote, "Richly atmospheric settings, muted color photography, an outstanding cast and competent direction (by Peter Duffell) do justice to Bloch's fine script, which deals with psychological terror rather than relying on the typical blood-and-guts formula." Tom Milne of The Monthly Film Bulletin called the first two stories "enjoyable enough in a rough-and-ready way" and the fourth story "a pleasant joke which would have been much funnier had it been played by a genuine horror star such as Vincent Price," but singled out the third story as "in an altogether different league ... it is mainly a mood piece which brilliantly orchestrates the child's loneliness, the father's hapless cruelty, and the governess' well-meaning failure to understand, into a haunting picture of the evil that can come of good intentions."

Among more recent reviews, Allmovie's review of the film was mostly positive, calling it "a solid example of the Amicus horror anthology." Halliwell's Film Guide described the film as "neatly made and generally pleasing despite a low level of originality in the writing." Time Out called the stories "rough-and-ready but vigorous Grand Guignol fun."

Box office
The film was a minor success in the UK but did very well in the US.

Biography
Dan Bahat was born in Poland to parents who were citizens of Mandatory Palestine. The family moved to Tel Aviv in 1939 and became Israeli citizens in 1952. He served in the IDF from 1956 to 1958. In 1964 he gained a Bachelor's degree in archaeology and Jewish history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He finished his master's degree in 1978. In 1990 he obtained the PhD degree from the Hebrew University on the topic "Topography and Toponymy of Crusader Jerusalem" under the supervision of Joshua Prawer.

Academic and archaeology career
Between 1963 and 1990 Bahat was employed by the Israel Government's Department of Antiquities, Ministry of Culture and Education, including as the District Archeologist of Jerusalem.

He taught until 2004 at Bar-Ilan University, Israel, and he is currently teaching at St. Michael College, University of Toronto, Canada.

Archaeological projects

Tez (software)

Tez was a mobile payments service by Google, targeted at users in India, later folded into the new Google Pay app on 28 August 2018. It operated atop the Unified Payments Interface, developed by the National Payments Corporation of India. The product was created as part of Google's Next Billion Users initiative led by Caesar Sengupta, former vice president and general manager, Payments & Next Billion Users, Google.

Tez worked on the vast majority of India's smartphones (with apps for both Android and iOS) with the Android app supporting English, Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi, and Telugu. There were plans to release the app in other emerging countries including Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand. "Tez" is the Hindi word for "Fast". Within 37 days after being launched, Tez got about 8.5 million installations. Over 30 million transactions were made on the app as of 27 October 2017.

Acceptability
Tez was accepted by PVR Cinemas, redBus, McDonald's, ACT Broadband, State government Electricity boards and was expected to be joined by a number of other businesses like Dish TV, Jet Airways and Domino's, Vodafone Idea, Swiggy, Zomato, Uber, Ola, Clubfactory, Zappfresh, Amazon, Flipkart and many more businesses. Google was also working with existing advertisers and online e-commerce platforms like Shopify and payment aggregators like BillDesk and PayU. Google planned to add even more ways to pay on Tez (e.g., credit cards and wallets). Select phones from manufacturer partners Lava, Nokia Mobile, and Panasonic would have come with Tez preinstalled.

Device compatibility
The app was compatible with the vast majority of Android and iOS devices.

Technology
The application did not require users to share any personal information such as mobile numbers or usernames like other payment applications. Instead, it used audio QR codes that relied on sound transmitted at a frequency inaudible to the human ear from the payee handset to the merchant handset. This technology does away with the need for NFC chips on the handsets, which gave it an advantage since a significant number of smartphones in India and other developing markets do not have NFC chips embedded. This was indeed a technology ahead of its time.

Dear Icarus3, I'm new to Wikipedia & have just created the Alternative Living page. I noticed that you've placed the following tags on the top page: (cur) (last) 07:57, 20 March 2006 Icarus3 (adding AfD tag) (cur) (last) 07:56, 20 March 2006 Icarus3 (NPOV tag)

I've read many other pages, not sure what's the benchmark for Neutrality is. For each topic has its believers and doubters, with both sides being equally passionate. In my humble opinion, most importantly is to ensure page creators don't set out to disparage or demean any individuals or their belief systems, but treat all with respect.

The page is new, and a work in progress, still learning the rope here. Would like to hear your advice and input on the code of practice at Wikipedia.

sincerely, WikiSoul
