Marree Mosque

The Marree Mosque is a former mosque located in, South Australia, Australia.

History
The mosque was completed in c. 1882 (some sources indicate as early as 1861 ), by members of the South Australian Afghan community. These "Afghans" were generally Muslims from then-British India, although some came from Afghanistan and the Middle East. They worked as cameldrivers and breeders in the region. Figures indicate an approximation that 3,000 "Ghans" were involved in this type of work until it was overtaken by the car and train in the 1930s.

The mosque was constructed by camel breeder Abdul Kadir, owner of Wangamanna Station. Another cameleer, Mullah Assim Khan, became imam of the Marree mosque in the early 20th century. The town had two mosques for some time, before the northern one was abandoned around 1910. Another report indicates that a mosque was deliberately demolished in 1956 by its elderly caretaker, Syed Goolamdeen, who could no longer maintain it.

As of 2003, it was reported in one source that the descendants of the Afghans in Marree have rebuilt the mosque. However, a heritage survey funded by the Australian and South Australian governments and which was conducted from April 2001 to June 2002 reveals that the mosque no longer exists apart from an area of prepared ground and post stubs, and the nearby remains of an enclosure for camels. The report of the heritage survey which was published in 2002 reports that a "replica mosque" had been built within the Marree township. A tourist map published in 2018 shows a mosque within a park called the "Afghan Camellier Park" (sic) located within the alignment of the former Central Australia Railway which passed through the town.

Mrs Annie Murdoch

Mrs Annie Murdoch is a 1927 portrait painting by Australian artist George Washington Lambert. The painting depicts Annie Murdoch, the mother of newspaper proprietor Keith Murdoch and grandmother of businessman Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch commissioned this painting of his mother, who migrated to Australia from Scotland in 1884 with her Presbyterian minister husband, Patrick. Lambert painted the work in September 1927.

"It is a striking portrait and full of character. Lambert portrayed the alert-faced matron, with her brown eyes looking directly out of the picture with confidence and authority. He showed her smiling with what might be interpreted as genial amusement"

- National Gallery of Australia

The painting was awarded the Archibald Prize in 1927. The painting remains part of the Murdoch family collection.

October 2017 updates
Hello wikipedians,

There is obviously a lot of good content in this article with a lot of good work that has gone into it. Well done everyone who constructively contributed thus far. I have attempted to build on that to improve it further as per what the info on this talk page suggests.

Of the improvements I have attempted one is to make the article more concise. It seemed to me that there was lots of superfluous text that could be removed without removing any of the relevant information. e.g. text would be duplicate of content already in usually the same paragraph. I have also tried to replace passive phrasing with active phrasing. e.g:

The cake was eaten by Mary

Replace the above with:

Mary ate the cake

I've also adjusted the sectioning to what seems more appropriate for example based on management eras. There's a small amount of additional info I have added. That is such as important goal scorers for things like cup finals (more could likely be added) and some important player signings such as Ian Rush.

I see there's two further pages on the history of Liverpool FC. Any takers for a similar exercise on those?

I hope this all reads in the intended constructive manner.

Comet Nucleus Dust and Organics Return

Comet Nucleus Dust and Organics Return (CONDOR) is a mission concept to retrieve a sample from comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko to test ideas regarding Solar System formation, and accretion of rocky planets with habitable surface environments.

CONDOR is a concept by a NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory team led by Christopher Guethe and M. Choukroun.

Overview
The concept was proposed in 2017 to NASA's New Frontiers program to compete for their Mission 4, but it was not selected. Had it been developed and launched, CONDOR would collect and return a ≥ 50 g sample from the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (also called simply 67P) for detailed analysis in terrestrial laboratories. This comet was previously investigated by the Rosetta mission between 2014 and 2016. The CONDOR concept calls for a Lockheed-Martin A2100 bus with a solar electric propulsion system.

In addition of performing a sample return down to 15 cm depth, it would carry a small payload comprising a narrow angle camera and a millimeter-wave radiometer to select a sampling site, and perform a gravity science investigation to compare changes of 67P since Rosetta. Following a survey for site selection, the sample retrieval would be a fast touch-and-go event. The sample would be stored at ≤ -20 °C and sent to Earth on a Stardust-based capsule for extensive analyses not yet possible by robotic spacecraft. The return trip is estimated to take 12.4 years.

Science
The elements, except for hydrogen and helium, ultimately derive from stellar nucleosynthesis. The very basic chemical ingredients of life—the carbon-hydrogen molecule (CH, or methylidyne radical), the carbon-hydrogen positive ion (CH+) and the carbon ion (C+)—are the result, in large part, of ultraviolet light from stars. Complex molecules, including organic molecules, form naturally both in space and on planets. Links between these materials and Earth's prebiotic organic matter are unknown, and can only be probed on samples that contain pristine organic compounds. This mission would provide the first well-preserved sample from the outer Solar System to test ideas regarding Solar System formation, and accretion of rocky planets with habitable surface environments.

I don't believe that "Innate bisexuality" is actually the name of a specific "psychoanalytic theory", as the article claims. The article is completely lacking in citations, except for a single citation to Freud's "Three Essays on the Theory of Sex", and it could be considered an original research interpretation of that one source. Essentially the article is about one narrow aspect of Freud's views on bisexuality: there is no evidence that this specific aspect of Freud's views is notable as a separate subject. There is almost no worthwhile content and no reason for it to exist as a separate article.

Harry Bickerton

Harry Bickerton (13 June 1921–23 March 1994) was a British engineer in the fields of aerospace engineering, engine design (aircraft), and bicycle design.

Background
In 1938, Bickerton left school to take up an apprenticeship at Rolls-Royce in Derby. He was transferred to Glasgow and was seconded to RAE Farnborough to work for Tilly Shilling, where he worked on water methanol injection and exhaust pipe tuning, among other things, for the Rolls-Royce 'Merlin' engine of the Spitfire fighter plane.

After World War II, Bickerton, now a seasoned aircraft engineer, moved on to de Havilland where he was Chief Engineer and worked primarily on internal combustion engines (Gypsy Major) but also became involved in the investigation of the De Havilland Comet after a series of failures. He later re-designed the Gypsy Major engine for Britain's first helicopter (the Skeeter), and headed the development of extreme cold weather equipment for an Antarctic expedition by air. He also filed a patent for a rotary engine design while at De Havilland. Bickerton eventually left the industry in the late 1950s to become a free-lance engineer and inventor.

The Bickerton Bicycle
He became a household name in the UK in the early 1980s after a successful TV campaign advertising the Bickerton (bicycle), a folding bicycle he originally designed in the 1970s and perfected over time. In the mid-1970s, The British Central Office of Information released a film, presenting the Bickerton Portable as a symbol of the British lifestyle while simultaneously extolling its technological advantages ("The smallest bike in the world"). These were its lightness, often below 7.5 kg, and foldability. Harry Bickerton's bicycle design became equally seminal as Alex Moulton's, and eventually inspired Andrew Ritchie to create the Brompton bicycle.

Other inventions
Some of his other projects were a self-adjustable posture bed, which was adopted for use by the National Health Service, and an economical centrifuge (called a Hermatocit) for separating red and white blood cells, designed for use with a car battery in remote locations like Africa. Harry Bickerton's engineering principles, expressed in ten "Performance specification[s] for a new portable human-powered personal transport device" (1971) are still valid today.

Sam Yot MRT station

Sam Yot station (สถานีสามยอด, ) is a Bangkok MRT rapid transit station on the Blue Line. It is regarded as one of four most beautiful MRT stations; the other three are Itsaraphap station, Sanam Chai station, and Wat Mangkon station.

Location and design
It is located underground from Sam Yot Intersection of Charoen Krung Road and Maha Chai Road, of which the station is named after, to the Unakan Intersection between Charoen Krung and Burapha with Unakan Roads, located in Bangkok, Thailand.

The interior of the station has been designed to retain the atmosphere of the Wang Burapha quarter through the architectural style prevalent at the time of His Majesty King Chulalongkorn (Rama V)'s reign together with Sino-Portuguese style, three entrance building were built as entrance into the station and the wall carved to accommodate folding doors, an entrance style popular in the old days. As for the pillars in station and the ticket office, the shape and characteristic of the Sam Yot Arch (one of the Royal Grand Palace's outer city gates that was once located at eponymous intersection before the expansion of Charoen Krung Road) is used as decoration to convey the history of the area. The interior of the station also displays pictures of the old days giving insight to the history and origin of the location to passerby. That is why this station was originally named "Wang Burapha Station".

Sam Yot is an area bustling with activity, due to the presence of nearby shopping centres, including; Pratu Phi, Khlong Thom, Saphan Han, Phahurat, Sampheng, The Old Siam Plaza, Ban Mo, Pak Khlong Talat, Sala Chalermkrung, leading education institutes such as; Poh-Chang Academy of Arts and Suankularb Wittayalai School, and the important historical sites; Giant Swing and Wat Suthat.

Archeological excavation at station area
During archaeological excavations to build the station, a number of ancient artifacts, all of which are related to trams were discovered. This included parts of wood and brick used as building material, drainage gutter lines, parts of steel tram tracks and part of terracotta containers, etc. In the past, the Charoen Krung Line of the Bangkok trams ran near here.

Future
The station will connect to the MRT Purple Line once the southern extension from Tao Poon to Rat Burana is completed. The transfer hall was built in preparation of Purple Line extension. The project is currently under construction.

If you want to learn about "Warriors" by Erin Hunter, then this is the place for you! (P.S. not all info included, yet)

Let's start simple:

Clans (and Tribe): Thunderclan (the clan that you will mostly be in in the books), the brave and fierce, Shadowclan, the sly and proud, Riverclan, the clever and strong, and Windclan, the swift and loyal. There is also Skyclan, a clan that lives in a gordge far enough away from the four clans that they don't know about it. And the Tribe of Rushing Water.

Territories:

Forest territory was the original home of the four clans until the twolegs destroyed it. Then the four clans moved to the lake. The previous home of the Tribe of Rushing Water, who currently lives in the mountains. Skyclan lives in a large gordge with a waterfall and stream to supply them with water and fish.

Current four clan leaders: Onestar, Windclan, Blackstar, shadowclan, Mistystar, Riverclan, and Bramblestar, thunderclan.

Electronics/Batteries

Electrolysis involves an electric field and the motion of electrons through a liquid.

GCSE Science/Electricity

Electrolysis is the decomposition of certain types of substance using electricity. The types of substance that can be split are ionic substances. This just means that they are made of charged ions rather than neutral atoms. {Remember that an ion is just an atom that has either a positive or negative charge}. An example of an ionic substance is common table salt—sodium chloride. The sodium ion has a positive charge, the chlorine ion has a negative charge. It is usually written as Na+Cl-.

Q1) Check in a periodic table, what is the symbol for sodium—Na or Cl?

As you may already know if you've studied the Metals module, a salt is any substance made by combining an acid with an alkali. Acids, alkalis, and therefore all salts are ionic.

Q2) Which of the following substances can be broken up by electricity Sodium chloride, iron sulphate, copper nitrate?

Basic Experimental Setup
Most ionic compounds are not liquid at room temperature. This is a problem because the ions need to be able to move for the electric current to be able to flow. This can be achieved by melting. Look at the electrical setup shown on the right. The electrodes are just two carbon rods connected to a battery. The one connected to the positive electrode is called the anode. The one connected to the negative electrode is called the cathode.

Consider for example the compound lead bromide. This compound is a solid at room temperature but can be molten over a Bunsen flame. So what you would do is put some lead bromide into a beaker. Put the beaker on a tripod over a Bunsen flame. Melt the lead bromide, then put in the electrodes and turn the power supply on at a setting of say 2V. What you would see happening is the anode, is a silvery coating of pure lead forming, and bromine forming at the cathode. The current would continue to flow until all the lead bromide was turned into lead and bromine.

Q3) It takes energy to split up a compound like lead bromide. Where does this energy come from ? Q4) Predict what products you would get at the anode and cathode if copper chloride was the electrolyte.

What happens at the anode
The anode is the positive electrode. It attracts negatively charged ions, because unlike charges attract. The bromine ions move through the melt until they reach the anode. Once they get there, they give up their two extra electrons to become bromine atoms.

Br2- --> Br + 2e-

The electrons flow up the anode to the positive terminal of the battery.

What happens at the cathode
The cathode is the negative electrode. It attracts the positively charged ions. Metal ions are always positive and so the lead ions flow through the melt until they get to the cathode. Once they get there they take two electrons each from the cathode. The electrons flow down the cathode from the negatively terminal of the battery and onto the lead ions.

Pb2+ + 2e- --> Pb

Q5) Solid ionic substances do not conduct electricity and are not split up by it. Why do you think that is?

Quantity calculations (higher tier only)

In the experiment with lead bromide, you saw that lead was deposited at the cathode. If you actually do the experiment you will see that the lead coats the cathode. In this section we will look at how much metal will coat a cathode in a given time.

A scientist performed the following experiment.
 * A copper cathode was carefully cleaned and accurately weighed.
 * It was placed along with an abnode into a solution of copper sulphate.
 * It was connected via a ammeter to a variable power supply.
 * A current was left to run for a given time then the cathode was removed and weighed again.

His results were:

You can see from the results that the total amount of copper deposited depends on both the current and the time it flows. This is because the number of copper atoms that can be made from ions depends on the total amount of charge that flows. The unit of charge is the coulomb.

One coulomb is the amount of charge when one Amp flows for one second (see GCSE Science/Measuring electricity

Q6)Look at the results table above. How much copper is deposited when 1A flows for 3000 seconds?

Q7)How much copper do you predict would be doposited if 1A were to flow for 6000 seconds.

Q8)What about if 2A were to flow for 12000 seconds ?

Electrolysis of Aqueos solutions (Advanced)
Before studying this section check with your teacher to see if you need to.

Earlier on in this module you've learned that ions must be able to move in order for electrolysis to work. If the ions are held rigid {such as in a solid}, they can't move and no electricity will flow. We've looked at how the freeing up of ions can occur by melting the electrolyte. Another way to achieve this is by dissolving th electrolyte in water. The trouble with this method is, there will be mor than one type of ion present.

water partially splits up into ions {this is why it's such a good solvent for ionic compounds}. It splits into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions.

H2O --> H+ +OH-

So at the cathode there will be two ions present. The Metal ion and the hydrogen ion from the water. Which element is actually produced at the cathode depends on how reactive the metal is. If the metal is very reactive, such as potassium, or sodium, then hydrogen will be produced. If the metal is unreactive such as silver, the metal will be produced.{I hope you learned your displacement reactions in lower school}. To work out which ion wins, the metal or the hydrogen, compare their reactivities in a the reactivity series. The one that is most reactive, will not be produced at the cathode.

A similar situation occurs at the anode. Hydroxide ions {from the water} are usually discharged at the anode ultimately producing oxygen.

OH- --> OH + e-

4OH --> 2H2O + O2.

This is true for most things but if the ions are bromine, chlorine, or fluorine {i.e. a halogen} then the halogen will be produced. {You are unlikely to need to remember this, only understand it}

Q9) Sodium chloride is dissolved in water and subjected to electrolysis. Explain what you see at each of the electrodes.

Answers | <>

A fuel cell is an electrochemical device similar to a battery, but differing from the latter in that it is designed for continuous replenishment of the reactants consumed; i.e. it produces electricity from an external fuel supply as opposed to the limited internal energy storage capacity of a battery.

Typical reactants are hydrogen on the anode side and oxygen on the cathode side. In contrast, conventional batteries consume solid reactants and, once these reactants are depleted, must be discarded, recharged with electricity by running the chemical reaction backwards, or, at least in theory, having their electrodes replaced. Typically in fuel cells, reactants flow in and reaction products flow out, and continuous long-term operation is feasible virtually as long as these flows are maintained.

Fuel cells are also attractive in some applications for their high efficiency and low pollution. Some applications that have been suggested include
 * baseload utility power plants,
 * emergency backup power,
 * off-grid power storage,
 * portable electronics, and
 * electrically-powered vehicles.

Types of fuel cells
There are five generally recognised types of fuel cells, of which two are the main subject of intensive research.

PEM
PEM fuel cells have a disputed acronym, meaning either proton-exchange membrane or polymer-electrolyte membrane, which both are in fact a good description. In this fuel cell, hydrogen is split at the membrane surface in protons, that travel through the membrane, and electrons, that travel through our external electric circuit, and provide our power. The hydrogen ions travel through the water that is entrained in the membrane to the other side, where they are combined with oxygen to form water. Unfortunately, while the splitting of the hydrogen molecule is relatively easy, splitting the stronger oxygen molecule is more difficult, and this causes significant losses that result in a sharp decrease of performance of the fuel cell. The PEM fuel cell is a prime candidate for vehicle and other mobile applications of all sizes down to mobile phones, because of its compactness. However, the water-entraining membrane is crucial to performance: too much water will flood the membrane, too little will dry it; in both cases, power output will drop; water management is a very difficult subject in PEM fuel cells. Furthermore, the platinum catalyst on the membrane is easily poisoned by CO.

PEM systems that use reformed methanol were proposed, as in Daimler Chrysler Necar 5; reforming methanol, i.e. making it react to obtain hydrogen, is however a very complicated process, that requires also purification from the CO the reaction produces. A platinum-ruthenium catalyst is necessary as some CO will unavoidably reach the membrane. The level should not exceed 10 parts per million.

DMFC
A subcategory of PEM is the DMFC, or direct methanol fuel cell; here, the methanol is not reformed, but fed directly to the fuel cell. One does not need complicated reforming, and storage of methanol is much easier than that of hydrogen. However, efficiency is low, due to the high permeation of methanol through the membrane, and the dynamic behaviour is sluggish.

The main manufacturer of PEM is Ballard Power Systems of Vancouver, Canada. Efficiencies of PEM are in the range of 40-50%.

SOFC
Solid oxide fuel cells, or SOFC, are intended mainly for stationary applications (power plants). They work at very high temperatures (some at 1000°C), and their off-gases can be used to fire a secondary gas turbine to improve efficiency. Efficiency could reach as much as 70% in these hybrid systems. This time, it's oxygen being transferred through a solid oxide at high temperature to react with hydrogen on the other side. SOFC have such a high temperature that they can be fed (provided some modifications) with natural gas, that will react to give hydrogen in the fuel cell itself. SOFC are very resistant to poisoning, and can indeed be run on CO, which is a poison for PEM.

Since SOFC are made of ceramic materials, they tend to be brittle; they are therefore unsuited for mobile applications. Furthermore, thermal expansion demands a uniform and slow heating process at startup, that will cause very long startup times: typically, 8 hours are to be expected. Research is going now in the direction of lower-temperature SOFC (600°C), which will enable the use of metallic materials with better mechanical properties and heat conductivity.

MCFC
Molten-carbonate fuel cells (MCFC) are also high-temperature, but in the range of 600°C. Their main problem is corrosion, and the need to operate a high-temperature liquid rather than a solid as in the SOFC.

PAFC
Phosphoric-acid fuel cells (PAFC) are a mature technology that is commercially available. Unfortunately, the phosphoric acid solidifies under 40°C, making startup very difficult. They have been used for stationary applications with an efficiency of about 40%, and many believe they do not offer much potential for further development.

AFC
The alkaline fuel cell (AFC) is the cell that brought the Man to the Moon. Used in Apollo-series missions and on the Space Shuttle, it is a very good fuel cell but for the fact that it is poisoned by CO2. This means that the cell will require pure oxygen, or at least purified air. As this process is relatively expensive, not much development is being done on AFC. NASA has decided they will shift to PEM for the next generation of Space Shuttles.

Science
Fuel cells are electrochemical devices, so they are not constrained by the maximum thermal (Carnot) efficiency as combustion engines are. Consequently, they can have very high efficiencies in converting chemical energy to electrical energy.

In the archetypal example of a hydrogen/oxygen polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell, a proton-conducting polymer membrane separates the anode ("fuel") and cathode sides. Each side has an electrode, typically carbon paper coated with platinum catalyst.

On the anode side, hydrogen diffuses to the anode catalyst where it dissociates into protons and electrons. The protons are conducted through the membrane to the cathode, but the electrons are forced to travel in an external circuit (supplying power) because the membrane is electronically insulating.

On the cathode catalyst, oxygen molecules react with the electrons (which have travelled through the external circuit) and protons to form water.

In this example, the only waste product is water vapor.

Also, there is the possible use of fuel cells at home, to store energy at the cheap off-peak electricity rates and used at peak-use hours. It may even be profitable to sell back some of the energy to the power company, like they do with windmill electric power. Peak power production reaches twice the normal level, which means that the very expensive powerplant capacity is sized for levels used for a short period of time. Also, power plants are most efficient at only one production rate and their efficiency drops off significantly at off-peak rates.

History
The first fuel cell was developed in the 19th century by British scientist Sir William Grove. A sketch was published in 1843. But fuel cells did not see practical application until the 1960s, where they were used in the U.S. space program to supply electricity and drinking water (hydrogen and oxygen being readily available from the spacecraft tanks). Extremely expensive materials were used and the fuel cells required very pure hydrogen and oxygen. Early fuel cells tended to require inconveniently high operating temperatures that were a problem in many applications.

Further technological advances in the 1980s and 1990s, like the use of Nafion as the electrolyte, and reductions in the quantity of expensive platinum catalyst required, have made the prospect of fuel cells in consumer applications such as automobiles more realistic.

The fuel cell industry
Ballard Power Systems is a major manufacturer of fuel cells and leads the world in automotive fuel cell technology. Ford Motor Company and Chrysler are major investors in Ballard. As of 2003, the only major automobile companies pursuing internal development of fuel cells for automotive use are General Motors and Toyota; most others are customers of Ballard.

United Technologies (UTX) is a major manufacturer of large, stationary fuel cells used as co-generation power plants in hospitals and large office buildings. The company has also developed bus fleets that are powered by fuel cells.

Pros and cons of fuel cells in various applications
Their use is controversial in some applications. The hydrogen typically used as a fuel isn't a primary source of energy. It is usually only a source of stored energy that must be manufactured using energy from other sources. Some critics of the current stages of this technology argue that the energy needed to create the fuel in the first place may reduce the ultimate energy efficiency of the system to below that of highly efficient gasoline internal-combustion engines; this is especially true if the hydrogen is generated from electrolysis of water by electricity. On the other hand, hydrogen can be generated from methane (the primary component of natural gas) with approximately 80% efficiency. The methane conversion method releases greenhouse gases, however, and the ideal environmental system would be to use renewable energy sources to generate hydrogen through electrolysis. Other types of fuel cells don't face this problem. For example, biological fuel cells take glucose and methanol from food scraps and convert it into hydrogen and food for the bacteria.

There are practical problems to be overcome as well. Although the use of fuel cells for consumer products is probable in the near future, most current designs won't work if oriented upside down. They currently cannot be scaled to the small size needed by portable devices such as cell phones. Current designs require venting and therefore cannot operate under water. They may not be usable on aircraft because of the risk of fuel leaks through the vents. Technologies for safe refueling of consumer fuel cells are not yet in place.

Among the controversies in the use of hydrogen are: First, the energy used to produce the hydrogen is comparable to the energy in the hydrogen, it is inefficient therefore too expensive. If conventional powerplants were used to produce the hydrogen, at best, there would be no gains in current pollution rates. Second, some have suggested that this is a "stalking horse" to bring back nuclear power, which may be the only commercially viable way to make hydrogen and reduce pollution. Finally, the need to provide the very long, costly and vulnerable thousands of miles of gas lines makes hydrogen too costly without government help.

There are several advantages to hydrogen as well. Clean, renewable energy sources like solar and wind power are non-continuous and unreliable through the course of a day. So power from these sources is not always available at the time it is needed. The electricity produced from solar panels or wind generators could be stored in large battery complexes but this can be expensive and batteries have a limited storage capacity and lifetime. If the electricity is used to produce hydrogen however, the energy can be stored more easily. As a gas hydrogen is not hard to store until it is needed.

Batteries in circuits
Batteries in series can increase or decrease the combined voltage.

Toys use batteries, for example, and it is important to note from the associated drawing(s) which way the batteries are to be inserted into the toy because their voltages can add or subtract as the case may be. To add voltages the + of one battery is connected to the - of the next battery. Some damage may be caused by inserting batteries in the wrong direction.

Batteries in parallel are not usually used; at a given rated voltage each battery is able to provide only a certain maximum current, but to increase the maximum available output current several batteries could be connected in parallel, meaning that all the + terminals are connected together, and so are all of the - terminals.

The life of a battery depends approximately on the value of (current times time), but the chemistry involved can permit a battery that seems to have been finished its lifetime to regain some of its life after some time, after the chemistry was able to do its work.

Many different kinds of batteries exist. They are used for different purposes, using different materials, sizes, rated voltages.

Types of batteries
Reversible, rechargeable, irreversible.

Alkaline = Basic
AA AAA C D 9V All batteries, except the 9V variety, are 1.5V. As alkaline batteries lose their charge, or in Layman's terms "juice", the voltage outputted slowly decreases. This is what causes flashlights to dim and remote controls to lose their effectiveness whilst using the last of the power left in the battery.

Lithium
Lithium batteries are available in rechargeable and "normal" forms. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are typically found in small to medium electronics, such as laptops, music players, some cordless mice etc. Lithium batteries have little/no proven research of memory effect. Lithium batteries are also available as single decharge cycle batteries. These batteries are marketed as using lithium to increase life span but offer little/no fiscal advantage over standard alkaline batteries.

Nickel Cadmium (NiCd)
Nickel Cadmium batteries are typically not used in the present but were one of the first easily obtainable cheap rechargeable batteries besides the battery. Nickel Cadmium (AKA NiCd) batteries can typically be found in radio controlled cars, older rechargeable "standard" batteries (AA,AAA, etc.), some wireless mice and many other applications. There is a myth that Nickel-Cadmium batteries have a memory effect, where if they are recharged when still somewhat full, they will lose capacity. laboratory research has proven this false in modern batteries (it does happen, to a small extent in old (pre-1950) sintered-plate NiCds). NiCds do suffer from voltage depression, which is similar to the memory effect, but only occurs when the batteries are overcharged.

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
NiMH batteries can be looked at as a newer version of NiCd batteries. NiMH batteries are often used in the same applications as NiCd batteries. However, they last longer and don't have voltage depression as severe as NiCd batteries.

Lead Acid
Car and boat batteries are the most common forms of lead acid batteries. In both uses they are typically rated for 12V. They have a high current output and can severely injure a person who was to short the circuit.

Memory effect
The memory effect is a myth that states when the battery is not fully charged before it is recharged, it loses capacity, it "forgets" that it has the capacity. The myth also states that the memory effect can sometimes be reversed by using a conditioner. A battery conditioner almost completely discharges a battery (down to 1 volt in NiCds) and are designed to reverse voltage depression, not memory effect. the memory effect does not exist except in very old (1950 or earlier) sintered plate NiCds. There is no need to use a battery conditioner on any battery to reverse memory effect.

Convolution

A convolution between two signals, $$x(t)$$ and $$y(t)$$, is an operation defined as follows:

 * $$x(t)*y(t)=\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} x(\tau)y(t-\tau)d\tau$$

The process of convolution is very useful in the time domain analysis of systems, because we can fully describe a system by its impulse response. Let's consider the following system which operates on an input as $$O\{\}$$, having characterized its impulse response by $$o(t)$$:

 * $$x(t) \longrightarrow \begin{array}{ |c| }\hline O \{ \} \\ \hline\end{array} \longrightarrow y(t)$$

 * $$y(t)=O[x(t)]$$

 * $$y(t)=x(t)*o(t)$$

Put into other words, the output of a system in an instant $$t$$ can be written as a linear combination of past and future instants of the input and its impulse response:

 * $$y(t)=\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} x(\tau)o(t-\tau)d\tau$$

Discrete Convolution
In discrete time there is no continuous time $$x(t)$$ but finite samples $$x[n]$$.

So the integral can be rewritten as a sum:

 * $$(x*y)[m]=\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x[m-n]*y[n]$$

To understand the convolution of finite length signals better, let's look at an example with the signals $$x=[1, 2, 3]$$ and $$y=[6, 9]$$. [ 1] * [6 9] = ?

[ 6 12 18 0]    // [1 2 3] * 6 [ 0  9 18 27]    // [1 2 3] * 9 - [ 6 21 36 27]    // sum of the above

Note that the length of the output signal has the length $$N + M - 1$$ where $$M$$ is the length of $$x$$ and $$N$$ the length of $$y$$.

Talk:Ouya

i have some sources that would be (likely) suitable for article
Oh and also some sources state that console is also built to be hacked and cost for 99 USD.

Here are:

DRM?
Isn't it misleading to the average Wikipedia reader, to call it an "open-source video game console", as it currently says in the article? Yes, it uses open-source software, but the console itself doesn't seem to be 'open source'. Will it use an exclusive Ouya store? What DRM is involved? Most people hear "open-source" and think "OMG", but this console may be a DRM nightmare. Anyone have more information? --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:57, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't think it's misleading at all. DRM and Open Source are not mutually exclusive concepts. You can have an open source game that functions with DRM. Are you thinking of The Free Software Philosophy? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:55, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Julie Uhrman Industry Veteran?
I have noticed that Julie Uhrman is listed as a games industry 'veteran' and that the citation points to a digital marketing company web page. I don't believe this information is particularly reliable and would suggest a more reliable source be quoted or this information not be listed as it is not pertinent to the console itself. Julie Uhrman is noted as working for IGN previously and after searching IGN directly there is little information with regards to Julie Uhrman http://uk.ign.com/search?query=Julie+Uhrman. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Termin8tor (talk • contribs) 17:20, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I see no problem with toning down that description. We could either introduce her with something more concrete and objective, like whatever her job title is or something. Or just introduce her as a name without any sort of descriptor. Or something else. Sergecross73   msg me   18:03, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe something with her relevant history? She was VP at Gamefly and General Manager/VP of Direct2Drive (ign's digital distribution division WAS Direct2Drive). http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/07/99-ouya-wants-to-bust-down-console-gamings-walled-gardens/ This is the best reference I could find for the Gamefly involvement right now. That link just says she was an exec at Gamefly. This link http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/ouya-game-console-smashes-kickstarter-records/ specifically mentions that she was the Gamefly VP, but I figured Ars is a better source. All this stuff used to be easily viewable on her Linkedin profile, but she's wiped that clean. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:26, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
 * If true, Gamefly VP seems relevent and objective. (Though, if true, I'm not really sure why we're challenging the "industry veteran" label to begin with. You'd have to know the industry pretty well to be a VP of a company like Gamefly...) Sergecross73   msg me   15:49, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, I looked around and found what appears to be a good source for the Gamefly job. http://www.insideview.com/directory/gamefly-inc That site still lists here as "VP, Digital". So I don't think she was vice president of the entire company, but specifically the digital distribution stuff. Even so, experience with mailing out discs isn't that relevant anyway; experience with top positions at digital distribution platforms really, really is. Something to note is that Direct2Drive, the other digital distribution platform she was VP of (and general manager) was actually absorbed by Gamefly in 2011. I don't remember when she stopped working for Gamefly, but perhaps that acquisition was how she got her position in the company. If we want more sources I can also dig up something for when she worked at Vivendi Games & Sierra. She's been in the industry for a while now. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:12, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

I don't know if I would call Uhrman a veteran in the gaming industry. I never heard of her until this new game console was announced. Majinsnake (talk) 20:09, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Nor had I, but did you read the comments above? There's sources that show she was a Vice President of sorts at GameFly and IGN. You don't need to be as vocal as CliffyB or as present in the public eye as Shigeru Miyamoto to be considered an industry veteran... Sergecross73   msg me   20:24, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Eighth Generation Console
I have noticed that a few of the last edits were to add the Ouya to the eighth-gen category and in the infobox. The current consensus is that the Ouya would not be included at this time (not that it would never be, but just that it isn't right now). If you have anything to add either for or opposed to such an inclusion, please continue the discussion on the eighth-gen talk page: Talk:History_of_video_game_consoles_(eighth_generation). It may be useful to wait for more information to come out, news of a production run, hands-on reviews from third-party sites (such as IGN, Game Informer, or other major gaming sites), or similar, before pushing for inclusion. -Kai445 (talk) 23:41, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Wrong Processor
Thought that the OUYA was getting the Tegra3 Wayne Proessor - an ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore not an A9

Will return with the page but should be updated since the post-March 2013 launch date exists to get on the A15 MPCore bandwagon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:28, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Julie Uhrmann confirmed in an interview they are using the Tegra 3 T33. Anyone who said codename Wayne is just wishfully thinking or spreading misinformation. Not to say they couldn't change their minds and use something more powerful as a surprise, but that would conflict with what their CEO directly said they were using and is entirely speculation. -Kai445 (talk) 16:20, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Introductory Price
Wouldn't it fit to mention $99 is the introductory price for KS, and then the introductory price for the rest of the future consumers, as stated on the ouya.tv site's pre-order page? $99 (KS) $109 (US) $119 (Int'l) ? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:29, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

The price is still $99. $10 is shipping. There's no reason to believe that it would be greater than $99 retail (brick and mortar, assuming they strike a deal with a big box or two...) -Kai445 (talk) 02:06, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Is it against Wikipedia guidelines to have a section about how this is probably a scam?
As evidenced by Ouya headquarters' address, listed on their homepage, being a rental mailbox behind a gas station, it seems more than a little likely that this either was a scam from the get-go or at least a project of someone who had no feasible plan to deliver the product (also notable through the developer consoles being supposedly 3 months from release and there still potentially being no engineers employed by the company). I mean, hey, you never know I suppose, but it seems worth considering whether Wikipedia should balance out the hype. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:47, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * If this is just your personal discovery/theory, then no, it's not acceptable. However, if a reliable source, like IGN or GameSpot, did an article on it or something, then it could be worth mentioning to some degree. Sergecross73   msg me   23:52, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Most of the anti-Ouya rumors are really silly.

 * Not listing their walk-up address is totally reasonable and normal, especially for a project that's guaranteed to generate such fan-boy enthusiasm and rage.
 * Rental mailboxes are entirely legitimate. They're preferable over Post-office boxes because they can receive deliveries from Fed-ex, UPS, etc, while post-office boxes only accept mail from the official postal system.
 * The company they got the rental mailbox from is an entirely legitimate business, in a good sized facility.  Why does it matter that the facility is next door to (not "behind") a gas station?
 * They "potentially" have no engineers? Sure, they "potentially" have dinosaurs on staff. We don't know. Why would we? They're not obligated to list their entire employee roster, and it would probably be a bad idea for them to do so. (Again, think of the fanboys, would you want them to have your real name?)

 * Now, I'm not trying to say that I can say with 100% certainty that Ouya will actually be delivered, or even that I can be sure it's not an intentional scam. But I can say that the people I've seen who think they have "evidence" of a scam are fooling themselves in a very child-like way. It would be a bad idea for Wikipedia to repeat those poorly thought through rumors as though they should carry any weight.  APL (talk) 00:50, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I know, if there was a legitimate concern for fraud, surely the story would be all over the internet, covered in reliable sources. I just wanted the IP to answer his/her own question. Sergecross73   msg me   02:46, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Lets put this simply. If it is a case of you (original poster) thinking it may be fraud then it can't be included but if news agencies, major video game websites, suspicious investors wanting their money back etc suggesting that the Ouya is a fraud then it can be included.--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:54, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Why does there need to be a source showing it's a scam when there's nothing showing it ISN'T a scam beyond their word? The only 3rd party information anyone can find is just information parroted by the company itself.  No distributors or partners have been able to show an iota of information beyond what is on their site.  Kronchev (talk) 17:45, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Because otherwise practically anything could be put on Wikipedia. JaeDyWolf ~ Baka-San (talk) 17:56, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
 * In general, you need sources to back up any information that is challenged, per WP:BURDEN. With making such a wild claim without any sort of proof, pretty certain you're going to find opposition, and thus need a source. It's a pretty large jump from "there's no info from distributors" to "It's a scam". What if there's privacy agreements? What if progress is going poorly and they're just behind schedule? What if they have failed but intend on returning everyone's money somehow? There's all sorts of possible alternative that don't involve it being a scam, and as such, you can't make that claim without further sources. Sergecross73   msg me   18:06, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Their partners are listed and sourced in the article. (Square Enix, for example.) But that doesn't really tell you anything interesting. A "Partner" would not necessarily have inside information.
 * Distributors? They're doing direct sales! They're not selling these at Best Buy.
 * (Maybe you meant "Suppliers", but their suppliers wouldn't have anything interesting to say either.

There's no need. There's no sources calling it a scam or claiming it to be. This talk section has gotten more attention that really necessary, and probably should have just been removed as trolling. -- ferret (talk) 19:48, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

RFC: Eighth Generation Consoles
I'm looking for additional outside opinions into the inclusion or exclusion of Video Game Consoles into the 8th Generation article.

 * While it could be considered an 8th gen console, its classified as a Microconsole along with all the other android derived hardware on the market or in development.

Neutrality of "Pre-release" section
It seems that this one negative article that is calling the whole project a scam is given pretty heavy weight into the article of this size with only one rebuttal. The WP:WEIGHT that should be given that one article is probably extremely little or ignored altogether. Given that it's 7 months old, and many new news articles have come out about this platform.

From all appearances they're spending it to develop and release the console, thus entirely not a scam. Even if the console was never released for whatever reason, it wouldn't be a scam. — raeky  t  18:34, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Even now, there's a counter-point saying that it couldn't be a scam due to the nature of the definition of the word scam, so I'm pretty sure no one's going to finish off reading that and come to the conclusion that it's a scam. Shortening down is definitely necessary, but it should definitely be there in some degree. Think long term - it could be an interesting fact if this thing turns out to be the next PlayStation 2 or iPhone or something. I know I'd find it interesting if people originally thought those items were scams/hoaxes back in the day. Sergecross73   msg me   19:03, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * There was certainly a widespread belief that anything that does well on kickstarter is probably a scam, and Ouya was at the focus of that. However, it seems horribly unfair to have the whole section on pre-release reaction and have only talk about it being a scam. That certainly has not been the only reaction.

Ouya image
Now that the console is publically available, that non-free image of the unit is no longer meeting NFCC, since anyone can now take and publish a free photograph of the unit. There's some existing free images on flickr of people that got the console late last month that meet our CC-BY requirements (one that I will get to commons and here shortly) but this won't be as clean as the current non-free. --M ASEM (t) 16:10, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

change to past tense
the sentence "The Ouya (/ˈuːjə/ OO-yə), stylized as OUYA,[5] is an Android-based microconsole developed by Ouya Inc" should change to "was an Android-based". since it is no longer sold. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:46, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Seems obvious I know, but source? ~ Dissident93 (talk) 18:02, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
 * To <IP_ADDRESS>: See MOS:TENSE and MOS:COMPNOW. Ouya is no longer sold, but it continues to exist, so using the past tense when describing the console itself simply makes no sense. –  Hounder4  01:22, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Clarification on "double storage" claims
The article says the following about new editions of the console:

"On November 23, 2013, a limited edition white Ouya with double the storage of the original and a new controller design was available for pre-order at $129. As of January 1, 2014, the limited edition white Ouya went off sale and cannot be found on the official store, nor from any official resellers. On January 31, 2014, a new black version of the Ouya was released with double storage and new controller design."

Does this mean the "new black version" had double the storage of the "limited edition white Ouya" or the same storage as the white Ouya (double the original)?

Developer Coda (talk) 00:15, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Not a gaming console
I'd like to rework the article so that it doesn't position the Ouya as a game console to bring it in line with the fact that it is not included as part of the eighth generation of game consoles page. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighth_generation_of_video_game_consoles).

For the background to this decision, see the discussion on the ninth generation's talk page. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ninth_generation_of_video_game_consoles)

If there is any objections, I would ask that you direct the discussion to the eighth generation of consoles talk page. Otherwise I will go ahead and make the change. CuteCucumber! (talk) 17:54, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

 * I strongly oppose the change. I think it's clear that the Ouya was a "console", and it seems like you also believe that the Ouya is a "console". If so that makes this a WP:POINT edit to try to rally people to your cause in the other article's talk page. That is not good.
 * As for this article, virtually every source calls it a "console". (or sometimes a "mini-console") Obviously if all the sources call it a thing, we should also call it a thing.
 * So why isn't it in the list of Eighth or Ninth generation consoles? Probably because Ouya was an also-ran that isn't considered notable enough for inclusion in those lists, which mostly focus on the major players. Notability doesn't always go both ways.   ApLundell (talk) 19:46, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * No, sorry, I didn't mean to cause any misunderstanding. I'm certainly not trying to "rally" anyone (and I'm not sure I appreciate the accusation).
 * And yes, I do believe, that Ouya is a console, but that doesn't seem to be the consensus of Wikipedia.
 * But the point is that Ouya is not listed on the eighth generation console page so there shouldn't be a link to it in the info box. That page explicitly states that the Ouya is not considered part of the eighth generation. There is alreasy consensus that the link is an oversight so it should be removed. CuteCucumber! (talk) 06:10, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Then I apologies for the misunderstanding.
 * But if we agree that it's a "console", and sources agree that it's a console, I don't see what the problem is.
 * I'm not aware of any project-wide consensus that Ouya is not a console.
 * (Although it is obviously an also-ran, and not one of the major players that define the "generations".) ApLundell (talk) 17:35, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The problem is that it's not an "eighth generation" console, so I've removed that description. CuteCucumber! (talk) 17:46, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * A mini or microconsole is not the same as a home console, which this is being wrongly classified as. M asem (t) 18:30, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you're saying, sorry. The Ouya page already states that it is a microconsole, as does the eighth generation page, which argues that it can't be considered "eighth gen". CuteCucumber! (talk) 18:34, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I really don't think I agree. For three reasons. 1) The distinction between "console" and "miniconsole" is pretty new and more than a little fannish/slang. For example, in some contexts/communities/etc it's still perfectly normal to use "miniconsole" strictly for devices that are literal miniature of existing consoles.  2) One is a subset of the other anyway. A "compact car" is still a "car".  3) Most of the sources say "Console" anyway, so that's what we should go with.  ApLundell (talk) 19:02, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It's not a bad argument I'll admit, but how do you fit it in with the other consoles of the time? It's clearly not considered grouped with the major players, which is why it's not in the eighth gen article. How should we distinguish the two? CuteCucumber! (talk) 05:43, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment. Because they have all played matches which have first-class, List A or Twenty20 status. Or as WP:CRIN says, “has appeared as a player or umpire in at least one cricket match that is judged by a substantial secondary source to have been played at the highest international or domestic level”. Matches judged not to have been played at the highest level are here. StickyWicket (talk) 19:39, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Very strong delete - it is possible for under-19 cricketers to be notable, but you've got to have multiple in-depth sources and, frankly, be really, really good. He's not in that ball-park. Given the obviously promotional nature of the article, I'd also suggest that there needs to be a really close eye kept on it with the possibility of salting considered. Blue Square Thing (talk) 18:09, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Reply Blue Square Thing According to you the information on ESPNcricinfo and CricHQ is wrong?
 * No, you're wrong - I visited every link that's on the page and read everything I could access (the Sunday Times article doesn't seem to be accessible to me). I also checked for other sources first, per WP:BEFORE. I know what I'm doing at AfD: this article is full of puff, many of the sources are press releases reworked as "articles" or are simply passing mentions or scorecards. The player isn't notable yet. One of the sources in The National made me think for a moment, and perhaps if he'd played under-19 world cup cricket or so on I might have considered that the article had some merit. But he hasn't and is a long way off the sort of notability that we should be looking for for an under-19 player. Blue Square Thing (talk) 06:55, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * For additional context see this old AfD. Page and Healy were both miles more notable than this chap. Although perhaps less good at self-promotion. Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:44, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * All I can see from cricinfo is that he has played some U19s matches, which are not enough to confer notability. Crichq is a user generated website (anyone can add scorecards on there), and we have had cases before of people linking to made-up matches on there. Even assuming the matches are real, they are not of a high enough standard to confer notability either. At present the subject is nothing more than a promising youth player. If he goes on to play top-level cricket we can revisit the article then. Spike 'em (talk) 09:10, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Reply Many thanks all legends for spending your valuable time for the conversation. Just wanted to know is there any way to include this page in "Under 19" Emirati Cricketer category?. --nmudesk 05:35, 24 August 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nmudesk (talk • contribs)
 * We don't categorize under-19 players. We do nationality of the cricketer, followed by major domestic team or teams played for. Take Shahid Afridi as an example. StickyWicket (talk) 11:55, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete: No evidence of meeting the GNG, no valid argument to keep the article, and if he fails the altogether-too-loose criteria of WP:CRIN, the subject is far short of anything notable.   Ravenswing     04:43, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

User:Perl~enwikibooks/Ellen Foster/art

I have chosen Eugène Delecroix's Orphan Girl in a Cemetery to represent Ellen Foster. This piece of artwork is a perfect illustration of the novel as both the girl in the painting and Ellen are orphans who have spent time in a cemetery. In addition, the girl seems to have just finished crying. After Ellen's mother dies, Ellen must have been in a similar situation. The girl in the painting has an expression of fear (This is similar to the feeling that Ellen experiences she runs away from her father) and seems to be looking at an object, or perhaps a person, who is outside the painting. Perhaps this is representative of her looking into her future wondering what her new life will be like. Ellen was in the same situation. Perhaps Ellen would be looking towards her grandmother (of whom she was very afraid).

Grahavarman

Grahavarman was the king of Kannauj around the early seventh-century CE. He came from the Maukhari dynasty and succeeded his father, Avantivarman. Grahavarman married Rajyashri, the daughter of the ruler of Thanesar, Prabhakar Vardhana. The marriage appears to have been an alliance of the two dynasties against the king of the Malavas.

The tripartite struggle for power in the region became four-sided when Shashanka, ruler of the Gauda kingdom in Bengal, took an interest. There had been rivalry between the Maukharis and rulers in Bengal for around fifty years, and Shashanka was concerned about the strengthening of the Maukhari position through the marriage alliance. He allied with the Malavas and launched what was probably a surprise attack on the Maukhari capital at Kannauj, which was overwhelmed. He killed Grahavarman and imprisoned Rajyashri.

Criticism of the Show
Some people (including myself) are very critical of the overall lack of skepticism presented in the show. Often prevailing theories are ignored if they are controversial. (For example, even though no reputable historian pays any credence to the story of Lot, Josh barely mentioned that and proceeded as if it were historical fact.) It would be nice if someone could find a verifiable source of such criticism so it could be included here for the sake of completeness. The best source I've found is an article on About.com that briefly mentions that archaeologists are not sold on the show, but it's second-hand and isn't much to begin with. This could easily be balanced with praise from the media, as the show has received excellent reviews. Sm5574 04:24, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

User:Phil wink/sandbox5

Notes on the history of metrical theory for iambic pentameter
Over 400 years of theorizing on the structure of iambic pentameter has not yielded consensus. Broadly speaking, metrical theories may attempt to describe — simply to notate various germane facts about a line of verse; to prescribe — to instruct readers how to write "correct" verse; to generate — to propose rules that can predict all possible "well-formed" lines and exclude all others; and to explain — to demonstrate (say) what cognitive or linguistic or physiological facts cause certain verse patterns, rather than others, to be common or rare, smooth or disruptive, within a given population.

C. S. Lewis suggests "that metrical questions are profitable only if we regard them, not as questions about fact, but as purely practical. That is... we are not, or should not be, asking which analysis of the paradigm is 'true' but which is the most useful."

Syllabicists:

On Bysshe: "English verse consists of syllables, arrange with undeviating regularity of accentuation[.]" and "Caesural pause is laid down as of equal necessity."

On Johnson: "In [iambic pentameter] the accents are to be placed on even syllables; and every line considered by itself is more harmonious, as this rule is more strictly observed." "Divorced from fact, [Johnson's theory] invented imaginary "laws", which were broken by even our most "correct" verse-writers, and whose observance would have killed all life in our poetry."

Timers "[T]he more one looks at the whole theory the more it seems one enormous category mistake."

Stressers:

A prominent segment of stressers have proposed a broad "foot theory" of verse, in which a normative verse line is composed of a given number of identical feet (for iambic pentameter, 5 iambs), but in practice each foot may be substituted with another foot. Thus the count of feet (however constituted) is primary.

× / |   × /   |   × /   |   × /   |   × /       (normative)

As advocated by prosodists like George Saintsbury, Enid Hamer, and Paul Fussel, often the poet's ear is the only constraint on which or how many feet may be substituted, and equivalent feet (those that may be substituted) often include all of the 4 2-syllable feet, the 8 3-syllable feet, the 16 4-syllable feet, plus a "foot" consisting of a single stressed syllable. The result is that many lines of as few as 5 syllables — and all possible lines of 9 to 20 syllables — qualify as theoretically acceptable iambic pentameters.

× / |   × /   |   × /   |   × /   |   × /       (normative) = × × / |     /   |  / × ×  |  / × /  |   × / × ×   (fully and radically "substituted")

That doesn't make sense
"Despite being given the worst possible score, a dice throw of 1"

Assuming that all the dice have the same possible numbers, the lowest possible total score = the lowest number on each die x the total number of dice. So the only way 1 is the lowest possible score is if there's only 1 die, or if different dice have different possible numbers. It sounds like there's 1 die, but maybe one of you is more familiar with the scoring system. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:31, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Edmiston participated in local theater productions during his high school years. He later studied at the Pasadena Playhouse.

Career
In the 1950s, Edmiston worked on puppet shows on KTLA-TV in Los Angeles. His voice was heard on the puppet programs The Buffalo Billy Show and Time for Beany and on Dumbo's Circus, which included live action and animation. He was also a member of the cast of Lidsville and voiced characters on Pandemonium. He appeared in character roles on several TV programs during the 1950s through the '70s, including the Star Trek episode The Corbomite Maneuver as the voice of Balok. He also appeared in Gunsmoke, Mission: Impossible, Knots Landing, Adam-12, The Bob Newhart Show and The Dukes of Hazzard. He also played a character based on "Chester" in "Gun-Shy," the Maverick parody of Gunsmoke starring James Garner. In 1966, Edmiston had a recurring role as Regan in the short-lived ABC comedy western series The Rounders with co-stars Ron Hayes, Patrick Wayne, and Chill Wills.

Edmiston also did many television commercials and cartoon character voices, such as "Ernie the Keebler Elf" in hundreds of commercials for the cookie products of the Keebler Company, and voices for characters on H.R. Pufnstuf and The Bugaloos from the studios of Sid and Marty Krofft, as well as a recurring role as Enik the Altrusian on that studio's Land of the Lost. He also did many character voices on the Focus on the Family radio program, Adventures in Odyssey, in which he played the beloved Tom Riley and the infamous Bart Rathbone (and numerous other one-shot characters), for more than twenty years. At times the two characters would argue; however, Edmiston would require little redubbing or editing. He simply switched between the two characters without pause. After his death in 2007, the character of Riley was retired from the show, while Rathbone would make one more appearance (voiced by Robert Easton) before subsequently being written out as well.

Some of his voice credits were under the stage name Walter Edmiston. In 1985, he also voiced the Autobot Inferno in The Transformers.

In the 1950s and early 1960s, he hosted The Walker Edmiston Show, a children's television program in Los Angeles, California. The program featured puppets of his own creation including Kingsley the Lion, Ravenswood the Buzzard, and Webster Webfoot.

In 1962, Edmiston and his family moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where he began a daily puppet show on KOOL-TV. He also was a stage director at Children's Theater in Phoenix.

Personal life and death
Edmiston married Evelyn in 1950, and together they had two children, daughters Andria and Erin. Evelyn died in 1998.

Edmiston died from cancer in Woodland Hills, California on February 15, 2007.
