Why Learn Indonesian
Hi, welcome to this Indonesian tutorial.

You might be wondering why on earth you should learn Indonesian. Allow me to persuade you.

Demographic Reasons
Studying Indonesian means you can communicate with more than 240 million Indonesians, only a small percentage of whom are able to speak English. Bahasa Malaysia is also a close relative to Indonesian. You can understand both with ease since there are only minor differences in vocabulary. Therefore, learning Indonesian gives access to about 230 million people—including those in Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei. Indonesian (or commonly called as 'Bahasa Indonesia' or simply 'Bahasa') has been taught in schools in Australia, the Netherlands, and Vietnam. In Timor-Leste, although Portuguese and Tetum are official languages, Indonesian is also important as working language as Timor-Leste was part of Indonesia from 1976 until their independence in 1999.

Practical Reasons
Indonesian is derived from Malay, a language of South Sumatra which was broadly used for trade purposes in the Malay World (now Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore) for centuries. When Indonesians began their fight for independence from the Dutch, the Malay language was renamed "Bahasa Indonesia" (it was renamed in 1928, while Indonesia proclaimed its independence in 1945). In Malaysia the national language is referred to as "Bahasa Malaysia". Indonesian is thus a variant of Malay.

Not even half of Indonesians are native speakers of the Indonesian language, especially those living in rural areas. Many have as a mother tongue one of a diverse array of local languages, including Javanese, Balinese, Sundanese, Madurese, Buginese, Batak, Minangkabau, or various Chinese dialects. But most Indonesians can speak Indonesian at least as a second language; it is taught in schools and understood even in the most remote islands.

What a remarkably versatile language Indonesian is! It is the language of education across the country, from the primary school to the university. It is the language of government and business administration, media, literature, and of everyday life in the big cities. It is a must for foreigners living in Indonesia. And if you are on a business trip to Jakarta, or on vacation in Bali, knowing some Indonesian can really enrich the experience. For those who are just curious language learners or those with a scholarly bent, Indonesian has an immense collection of literature.

Linguistic Reasons
Indonesian is very easy—honest! Learning it is a valuable experience in itself, and you can pick up the basics within a few weeks. Here's why it is easy:

 * No tenses. Indonesian has no tenses at all. Adding time indicators (like yesterday, next week, etc.) and aspect markers (done, in the process of, will, etc.) into your sentences will do.
 * No genders or cases. Indonesian has no genders or gramatical cases attached to the nouns. This means that there is one less rule to learn.
 * Optional plurals. Unlike in say, German, plurals are very simple in Indonesian, but also optional. You only need to repeat the noun (e.g. buku → buku-buku), or adding quantitative indicators (e.g. many, few) into the sentence (e.g. beberapa buku → some books).
 * A simple system of word formation. Indonesian has a straightforward system for combining words with prefixes, suffixes, and infixes to create new words. For example: satu means one, whereas bersatu means to unite (i.e., to make into one). This means fewer words to memorize and you can (sort of) mix-and-match words to form your own word. The catch is that some words cannot be combined with some prefixes or suffixes, but you'll learn that it's simple.
 * Uses the 26 letters of the Roman alphabet, which means that there is no need to relearn the alphabet, or use special software to type.
 * Consistent spelling. Indonesian is very phonetic, just like Italian. Every character is consistently spelled the same way in any word, with few exceptions. When you encounter a new word, you will always be able to pronounce it correctly.
 * No tones and simple stress patterns. Indonesian word stress typically falls on the second-last syllable of the original word, but also the last syllable and the third-last syllable. However, no matter where you put the stress, people will still recognize the word.
 * Sentence form is similar to English. Indonesian sentence structure is similar to English: Subject + Verb + [Object]. So, you can form sentences in Indonesian easily.
 * Everything is regular. Since there are no tenses, no genders, and simple plurals, everything is regular. Even the word-formation system is regular with some simple rules. You don't need to memorize lots of exceptions.

I hope now you can see why Indonesian is worth learning.

The Catch
Now, the catch is that every language has a culture attached to it. Indonesian is no exception. Since the way Indonesian people think differs from most westerners, there are some hurdles in learning it. For example, most western people prefer active sentences, while Indonesians usually prefer passive sentences and omit the subject if it is not important.

Also, in spoken Indonesian, the formal grammatical rules are often broken by lots of shortcuts, usually specific to the region, not to mention slang words and idioms. However, all Indonesians that have finished grade school should be able to speak and comprehend proper Indonesian.

Latin/Appendix B

Classical Latin is pronounced in a highly phonetic manner.

Diphthongs:
 * Ae is pronounced as a long 'i'.
 * Oe is pronounced as a short 'i'.

Digraphs:
 * Ph is pronounced as an aspirated 'p', like ph in 'tophat'. It is equivalent to the Greek letter φ 'phi'. *Often, however, it is just pronounced 'f' as in fat'.
 * Th is pronounced as an aspirated 't', like th in rat hall'. It is equivalent to the Greek letter θ 'theta'. *Often, however, it is just pronounced 'th' as in 'threat'.
 * Qu is pronounced 'kw' like in English.

 * Y is pronounced 'u' as in put. It is equivalent to the Greek letter υ 'upsilon'.
 * J, a form of consonantal i used in Medieval Latin texts, is pronounced like a 'y'. Similarly, i, when is used as a consonant, is pronounced with a 'y' sound.

 * C is always pronounced hard (velar [k] - as in English 'cat'), even when it follows an 'e' or 'i'. It is never pronounced as English 'c' in 'cell'.

 * G is always pronounced hard (velar [g] - as in English 'go'), even following 'e' and 'i'. It is never pronounced as in English 'gel'.

 * R was probably trilled or tapped, closer to modern Italian than to English.

 * Classical latin texts used only capital letters, and the same letter, 'V', was used for what are now spelt as 'u' and 'v' in most texts. This is still reflected in some modern Latin texts, where a capital 'u' is spelt 'V'.  When used as a consonant, 'V' was pronounced much like English 'w'.

b, d, f, h, k, l, m, n, p, q, s, t, x, and z are pronounced as they are normally pronounced in English.

San Juan Spruce

The San Juan Spruce is a Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) tree located in the San Juan Valley of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Until July 2016 it was the second largest known Sitka spruce tree by volume, surpassed only by the Queets Spruce in Washington, United States.

History
The tree flourished due to its location on the shaded southern slopes of the San Juan Valley and on the banks of the San Juan River.

In July 2016, the San Juan Spruce lost significant height and mass due to a lightning strike. It is no longer considered among the largest Sitka spruce trees but its large diameter is still remarkable.

Dimensions
These measurements were taken sometime before 2010, at least six years prior to the tree's partial collapse.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sufism Reoriented

The result was moved to draft. Per Scott Burley's last comment, we can not have this discussion continue in perpetuity while editors try to figure out whether claimed sources that are not readily available contain content supporting inclusion. The solution is to move the article to draft space until sufficient sources are confirmed to exist. The article does not appear to meet Wikipedia's standards for inclusion as is. bd2412 T 23:03, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Sufism Reoriented

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Whatever the heck this is currently, (school/religious order/sanctuary/nothing), nothing except some routine news-coverage and a piece over here. Current sourcing is mostly to the Meher-baba-universe (i.e. websites of his trustees, publications by in-house presses of his follower associations, biography-cum-hagiography written by one of his closest cult-associates et al).

 * Weak delete I'm seeing only passing mentions, and no substantive coverage. But the real results are being swamped by Baba-related publications so it's hard to be sure. Vanamonde (Talk) 16:38, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge I disagree with deletion of this article, and suggest that it be merged with the Meher Baba entry. If the Meher Baba page meets the standards for notability, then Sufism Reoriented is also notable. Though the Sufism Reoriented article arguably violates NPOV in places, this can be remedied. --Thashley (talk) 12:36, 1 October 2019 (UTC)  — Thashley (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Keep and Fix WBG's WP:NOTINHERITED argument is well-taken. However, there are at least two independent sources discussing the topic. The first is the article from The Fader to which WBG alluded above. This source is non-affiliated, and acknowledges criticisms of Sufism Reoriented both from within the Meher Baba movement and in the California neighborhood in which SR's sanctuary was built. The second independent source is Andrew Rawlinson, who discusses Sufism Reoriented in his book, Book of Enlightened Masters: Western Teachers in Eastern Traditions, and also in an article entitled "A History of Western Sufism," available at: http://www.surrenderworks.com/library/imports/a_history_of_western_sufism.pdf. Please note that Rawlinson's book discusses historical opposition to Sufism Reoriented from within the Meher Baba movement. (I don't have an exact citation at the moment, but I can get it.) As there are two or more independent sources discussing Sufism Reoriented in more than just a passing way, the article can be improved to satisfy WP's notability requirement. (Albeit, by a narrrow margin).Thashley (talk) 03:23, 10 October 2019 (UTC) — Thashley (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Relevant content can be found in Rawlinson's book on pages 247-251, 419-424, 436-438, and 543-553. Thashley (talk) 03:06, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

 * DISKUS/JBASR does not seem to be a reputed journal at all, at all. Not indexed in Scopus or Web of Science or such selective databases. Fails RS and I am definitely not considering something so textbook-shoddy like Rawlinson's piece, published in its very first issue. ∯ WBG converse 04:49, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree that Rawlinson's DISKUS article was in rough shape as of 1993. (Indeed, I believe his book post-dates the article and encompasses most of the content.) However, I'm skeptical of your claim that JBASR is not a reliable source. BASR appears to be a legitimate religious studies organization. (https://basr.ac.uk/) Further, they claim that their journal, JBASR, is peer-reviewed. (http://www.jbasr.com/ojs/index.php/jbasr/about) Can you provide evidence that the academic community holds BASR/JBASR/DISKUS in disrepute? Thashley (talk) 17:05, 11 October 2019 (UTC) — Thashley (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * The onus of reliability is on you to prove, using accepted scientometric evaluation standards of journal-reliability and w/o going by their own claims. I further note that it's not indexed at ATLA either and there's hardly any cites over GScholar. ∯ WBG converse 17:07, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
 * There may be an additional source worth considering. Kevin Shepherd apparently published a book in 1988 entitled Meher Baba, an Iranian Liberal. At his website, Mr. Shepherd claims this book contains a critical evaluation of Ivy Duce, former leader of Sufism Reoriented, at pages 210-223. (https://www.citizenphilosophy.net/Meher_Baba_an_Irani_Mystic.html#Independence). I have not read this book, and can't vouch for its reliability, but I will attempt to locate it. By the way, if the Sufism Reoriented article survives AfD review, I will be proposing/requesting substantive changes needed to uphold NPOV requirements. As it stands, the article falls way short of the mark in this area. Thashley (talk) 23:59, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

George Bakhmeteff

George Petrovich Bakhmeteff (Russian: Георгий Петрович Бахметев; 1847 – 29 August 1928) was the last tsarist Russian Ambassador to the United States. He served in office between the years 1911 and 1917.

Origins
He was a career diplomat who descended from a Tatar noble family which had converted from Islam to the Russian Orthodox faith. Generations of the Bakhmeteff nobility had served under the Czars within the military and civil service. Previous to his service for Russia in Washington he had served as the Russian Ambassador to Japan.

Personal life
He was married to Mary Beale, the daughter of a popular Washington social couple Ambassador and Mrs. Edward Fitzgerald Beale. The Beales were the owners of Decatur House in Washington and Tejon Ranch. His brother in law was American Ambassador to the Balkans Truxtun Beale. His sister in law was Emily Beale McLean who was married to John Roll McLean publisher of the Washington Post. George Bakhmeteff was succeeded as ambassador by another Bakhmeteff; Boris Bakhmeteff who was not closely related.

He died on 29 August 1928 in Paris, probably at the Hôtel de Besenval, where he still resided in the second half of the 1920s.

Sohan Lal Bhatia

Major-General Sohan Lal Bhatia CIE, MC, FASc, FRSE, FRCP (5 August 1891 – 16 July 1981) was a distinguished Indian physiologist, medical administrator and decorated Indian Army officer.

Biography
Bhatia was the eldest son of Rai Bahadur Hira Lal Bhatia, an eminent surgeon practising in Lahore. Educated in Lahore at the Central Model School, Lahore, and the Government College Lahore, he began his medical studies at Peterhouse, Cambridge in 1910. He subsequently pursued his clinical studies at St Thomas' Hospital, London. On the outbreak of war in 1914, Bhatia volunteered as a surgical dresser on HMHS Guildford Castle. He completed his degree in 1917, and following graduation was appointed a temporary lieutenant in the Indian Medical Service (IMS), effective from 8 April 1917. In May 1918 he was attached to the 105th Mahratta Light Infantry (now the Maratha Light Infantry, then part of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force). In September 1918, he was awarded the Military Cross (MC) for courage under fire during the Battle of Megiddo; the award was gazetted in April 1919:

"Near Sabieh, on the 19th September 1918, for conspicuous gallantry under intense fire. The enemy put down a heavy barrage where he had established his aid post. In the midst of this he carried out his work with an absolute disregard of his personal safety. The skilful way the wounded were dressed by him, in spite of the adverse conditions, afterwards elicitated (sic) the admiration of the medical officers in the dressing stations."

Bhatia was the sole IMS recipient of the Military Cross in 1918. After the war, he received a regular commission in the IMS, with effect from 15 March 1920. He was promoted to substantive captain on 8 April 1920, with seniority from the same date. The same year, he was appointed professor of physiology and hygiene at Grant Medical College in Bombay, becoming its first Indian dean in 1925. He was promoted to major on 8 April 1928, with promotion to lieutenant-colonel on 8 October 1936. On 27 October 1937, Bhatia was appointed principal of the Grant Medical College and superintendent of the Jamsetji Jeejeebhoy Hospital Group.

During the Second World War, Bhatia was appointed an additional deputy director-general of the IMS on 19 August 1941, serving in this capacity for most of the war. On 1 June 1945, he was appointed inspector-general of civil hospitals and prisons in Assam Province, receiving promotion to colonel on 11 June (seniority from 8 October 1939). He was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire (CIE) in the 1946 New Year Honours list.

Gilda Darthy

Gilda Darthy (1878 – 1952) was a French actress.

Early life
Darthy was born in 1878.

Career
Darthy was an actress on the Paris stage. She wore costumes by Paquin and Redfern, and was a popular subject of fashion reporting, photography and postcards, with her red hair often featured. Jacques-Émile Blanche painted a portrait of Darthy, hand on hip, wearing a hat with multiple large plumes. In 1910, she was announced as a passenger on a flight from Algiers to Timbuktu, to help publicize a new French air service across the Sahara Desert.

During World War I, Darthy was one of the French actresses to pose as "La Patrie", a personification of France. In 1916, she made her American debut in The Ironmaster by Georges Ohnet, in which the New York Times reported that she had "extraordinary emotional powers and a voice whose lovely quality is one of her greatest assets." She was also seen in New York in 1917, starring in Sapho, and in La Rafale by Henri Bernstein. While she was in the United States, she appeared at benefit events for war relief.

Personal life and legacy
Beyond her acting and fashion roles, Darthy was often in headlines for personal scandals. In 1917, Darthy was sued by fellow actress Irène Bordoni for alienation of affections, concerning Bordoni's husband and Darthy's co-star, Edgar Becman. In 1923, she was in a similar situation with fellow actress Cora Laparcerie and her husband Jacques Richepin, though that dispute escalated to physical violence between the women. Later she was involved in solving a mystery surrounding the death of young industrial heir Marc Bellanger. In 1929, she won damages after a car accident caused her injuries and required her to cut her trademark long hair, because "she refused to deceive the public by wearing a wig."

Darthy died in 1952. An elaborate bed she once owned later belonged to Karl Lagerfeld, and is currently in the collection of the Getty Museum, as an example of an eighteenth-century French lit à la polonaise.

Waves/1D Solutions

As you have learned in the previous sections, the linear waves you studied in the previous section tend to disperse. However, there are nonlinear waves described by nonlinear partial differential equations (PDE) which admits solutions with nondispersing wave packets.

Here are two primary examples:

Sine-Gordon
This is described by the PDE

$$\partial^2_x\phi-\partial^2_t\phi=\sin(\phi)$$.

Ross Piper

Ross Piper is a British zoologist, entomologist, and explorer.

Biography
Piper's fascination by animals began at a young age through early encounters with a violet ground beetle and the caterpillar of an elephant hawk moth. This early interest led to a degree in zoology from Bangor University and a PhD in insect ecology from the University of Leeds. Piper has travelled widely in Europe, the Americas, Africa and Southeast Asia, searching for interesting and elusive beasts. Although his focus is arthropods, the sheer diversity of animal forms and lifestyles is a continual source of fascination.

In 2015 he was awarded the Alumnus of the Year award by Bangor University and has since become a member of their alumni advisory board. He is also a student mentor for the University of Leeds and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. He is currently a visiting research fellow at the University of Leeds and a visiting fellow at the University of Essex. His current projects include authoring additional books exploring insects as a source of novel pharmaceuticals and biomaterials and planning further expeditions.

Science
Piper's interest in communicating the staggering diversity of animals beyond vertebrates led to his latest book, Animal Earth, which has so far been translated into German and Japanese. This book explores animal diversity.

In documenting the arthropod life he finds during expeditions Piper contributes to our knowledge of these areas. In addition to these two broad areas Piper is also interested in the ecology of beetles and solitary wasps, how ecology, morphology and molecular data can be integrated to reveal the true complexity of animal diversity and the interactions between arthropod assemblages and agricultural landscapes.

Exploration
Piper is always keen to stress how little we know about life on Earth, which is a continuing theme in his books and talks. His own contribution to addressing this is exploration, mostly in the tropics. During his time in Myanmar Piper explored and searched for insects in areas where few if any scientists had been before. Tamanthi Wildlife Reserve was one such place. The specimens from this forest have so far yielded a new genus and several new species.

Media
Piper is enthusiastic to share his fascination for the incredible living things that surround us with anyone who will listen. In terms of TV this has led to an expedition to Myanmar (Burma) with the BBC Natural History Unit as the on-screen entomologist the product of which was broadcast as the three part series – Wild Burma: Nature’s Lost Kingdom – on BBC 2. Many of the clips from this series have become YouTube hits. Piper has also featured as a presenter/on-screen expert on the CBBC series, Wild (live and recorded segments), the Sky 1 series, Extreme Fears, Extreme Cures where he helped ten arachnophobes overcome their fear and I have recently done some filming as an on-screen expert for a World's Weirdest Events. Piper has been invited to give talks around the world, including World Minds and EG. His work has been widely covered in the media and he has written opinion pieces for the BBC, The Conversation and Geographical. Piper is also a keen macrophotographer and a dabbling Wikipedia editor.

Truro Parish, Virginia

Truro Parish was the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Anglican church in colonial Virginia with jurisdiction originally over all of Fairfax County. The parish had its central church at the Truro Church and the parish was named for the parish in Truro in Cornwall. The parish was created on November 1, 1732 from Hamilton Parish. It was divided twice: in 1748, Cameron Parish was formed and in 1764 Fairfax Parish was created. After 1765, Truro Parish covered southern Fairfax County until disestablishment ended the parish system by 1786.

The parish in colonial Virginia
The Anglican church was the established religion of the Colony of Virginia from 1619 - 1776. Each parish in the colony was ministered to by a single minister and governed by a vestry usually composed of 12 local men of wealth and standing in the community. Parishes were created by acts of the House of Burgesses and the upper house of the legislature, the Governor's Council.

Formation of the parish
Truro Parish was created by the General Assembly of Virginia on November 1, 1732 when Hamilton Parish was divided along the Occoquan River and Bull Run. It included what is, at present, Arlington, Fairfax, and Loudoun counties, and the independent cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, and Falls Church. The parish was named after Truro in Cornwall, England.

Truro Parish initially covered all of the land north of those rivers up to the Potomac, and westward all the way to the Blue Ridge Mountains at Ashby's Gap. The parish originally contained three churches: Occoquan (the parish seat), William Gunnell's, and a chapel "above Goose Creek". The exact locations of the second two are unknown, but the Occoquan church was later known as Pohick Church, which still stands. In 1733, work was started on a new church "near Michael Reagan's"; this was at the site of the present-day Falls Church. In 1742, Fairfax County was created out of Prince William and the boundaries of Truro Parish were adjusted to conform to the boundary between the civil counties. On June 11, 1749, the parish was divided in two, with the newly formed Cameron Parish constituting the portion north and west of Difficult Run and Popes Head Run. George Mason, author of the Virginia Articles that presaged the Bill of Rights, was elected to the vestry that year.

In 1753, the first church service at the new town of Alexandria was recorded. George Washington was appointed to the Truro Parish vestry on October 25, 1762. His father, Augustine Washington, had served on the vestry for a few years, starting in 1735.

Truro Parish was further split on February 1, 1765. The new boundary was just south of Washington's estate, and the northern portion became Fairfax Parish, with The Falls Church as its seat. Parishioners of Truro, however, complained that the division was far more favorable to Fairfax Parish, and succeeded in having a new border drawn through Washington's estate, such that Washington was deemed to reside in Truro and he was elected to that vestry.

Drawn over today's civil boundaries, Truro Parish's final incarnation would include the Southern and Southwestern part of Fairfax County.

Places of worship
Within the parish, at formation, there were three churches: Occoquan (now known as Pohick Church), William Gunnells, and a chapel "above Goose Creek." The Goose Creek chapel would later become part of Cameron Parish. In 1766, a new church was established "on the middle ridge near Ox Road", the present site of Jerusalem Baptist Church off Virginia State Route 123. The Truro Parish vestry contracted Edward Payne to build this new church and it became known as "Payne's Church".

Other church buildings were constructed including replacements for The Falls Church (started in 1763, while it was still part of Truro Parish) and the current Pohick Church in 1767.

Scoring
The sentence:

"This scoring system was likely influenced by the fact that the number 573 sounds partly like "Konami" in Japanese."

sounds like unverifiable, original research. Especially considering 573 can be read in two ways: "Go nana san" or "Go shichi san", neither of which sound anything at all like "Konami". A more logical choice would be either 572 ("Go nana ni") or 574 ("Go nana shi"), as they sound a *little* closer to "Konami". In the end, this idea is pretty far-fetched. Keryst 03:29, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Ben Howard (aviator)

Benjamin Odell Howard (February 4, 1904 – December 4, 1970 ), was an American aviator and aeronautical engineer, whose aircraft won the Bendix Trophy and the Thompson Trophy in 1935.

History
At 17 Howard's interest in flying was sparked when he saw a band of gypsy fliers performing in their flying circus. By 18 he had saved up enough cash to buy an OX-5 powered Standard biplane. In those days learning how to fly was often self-taught and Howard thought he was up to it. The Standard was a safe plane and he seemed to be learning fine until one flight when he entered a spin and was unable to pull out. He crashed breaking his leg and writing off the plane, as well.

It took a long time to set his leg but at age 19, Howard moved to Dallas and started working in the Curtiss Aircraft factory. The pay was not as good as what others jobs paid but what he learned about design and construction of aircraft was worth more than money. Over the next few years he tinkered with aircraft design using spare parts to build his first plane, at the request of a Houston bootlegger, who dubbed the resulting "rum-runner" a "Darned Good Airplane," DGA-1 giving it and future Howard aircraft their trademarked initials of DGA. Howard later in life admitted to doing some airborne bootlegging himself during prohibition.

Aircraft racing
In his first racing plane, "Pete", Howard won five air races. As competition increased, he and his partner, Gordon Israel, built two larger, low-wing, wire-braced monoplanes, "Mike" and "Ike" (which competed under the name Miss Chevrolet in honor of its sponsor). Fitted with a special carburetor, Ike was particularly quick in flying in an inverted position, and for a time held the world record for inverted speed. His sixth plane was called Mister Mulligan. It placed in competition for several pilots before it was destroyed in an accident in the 1936 New York - Los Angeles Bendix Transcontinental Race, a propeller failure costing Howard both the plane and his leg, and injured both his wife's - Maxine "Mike" Howard - legs. Mister Mulligan's fame led to the DGA-8 and the DGA-9 as well as the 1937 formation of the Howard Aircraft Corporation, which ran until 1944.

After the accident, Howard flew airmail and passenger transports, became an outstanding test pilot, and was recognized by aircraft designers as a natural aeronautical engineer. Howard was said to be an aviator's aviator, and was also credited as a man who from natural, inborn ability, could frequently spot flaws designed by the most competent graduate engineers.

Engineering and test pilot career
The first Douglas DC-3 aircraft were ordered by American Airlines (1935) and powered by Wright Cyclone engines. Soon after, United Air Lines ordered the DC-3, but specified Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp engines. Benny Howard was dispatched to Douglas to oversee the installation of the new engine. His career at Douglas continued for many years, including piloting the initial tests of the DC-4E, A-26 Invader, DC-6,and Fairchild C-82 Packet aircraft. He also served as test pilot on the Budd RB-1 Conestoga and other aircraft. He was elected an Honorary Fellow of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots.

Using knowledge gained from his racing days, he developed the Howard Optimizer Kit for the DC-3, and at the end of his career was doing low-speed wind tunnel tests for the Carroll Shelby Cobra racecar. Howard died in Los Angeles Friday, Dec. 4, 1970. Pioneer airplane builder Donald Douglas Sr. delivered his eulogy.

CACS/Hardware Introduction

This part contains a survey of the world of computer hardware. This chapter introduces computer hardware and provides a very short history of computing. This section introduces the computing environment thrugh a brief history of computers and an overview of the subjects within hardware.

Outline of computer history
There is some disagreement about when the digital age began. After all, the Babylonians used a kind of abacus about 500 BC. If we call it the computer age, we can get a much cleaner mark. 1951 was a watershed year, and two events identify it as the beginning. The UNIVAC became the first commercially available digital computer. That same year a research team at MIT completed the first user-interactive computer (named Whirlwind) that used a keyboard and a television screen or CRT. Considering developments by decades gives a pretty clear picture of the evolution of computers.
 * 1950s the vacuum tube decade - introduction of computers and their use in business and major scientific research;
 * 1960s the mainframe decade - transistor-based computers used in business;
 * 1970s the PC decade - the first CPU on a chip to widely available personal computers;
 * 1980s the software decade - windows, games, and spreadsheets make the PC useful;
 * 1990s the internet decade - creation and then commercialization of the Web.

Wikiversity:Productive forking and tailoring is encouraged

Forking and tailoring is encouraged within Wikiversity materials to rapidly achieve a broad spectrum of useful materials suitable for various ages or skill levels of diverse participants.

Tailoring is a term used within the U.S. Defense Department to describe a process of starting with MIL-STDs (military standards) and modifying them to meet a specific project, mission, team, or personal goal or requirement.

To facilitate rapid creation of useful learning materials and processes, Wikiversity participants are encouraged to start with properly accredited electronic copies of public domain, CC by-sa or FDL'd materials and modify them to meet specific lesson plan or learning processes needs and objectives. This is easily accomplished with local files by cutting and pasting the original text one wishes to fork into a new file. Be sure to provide a link in the edit summary back to the original file to meet attribution requirement. Anyone who wishes to see where the material originated can now trace its origin via this link to to the originating online file history and the materials immediately begin to diverge.

Polished materials produced in this manner should be linked into our learning trails appropriately so they may be found and used dynamically by other participants.

Incomplete or predominantly duplicate or unused resources that have gone idle or static should be considered targets for merging, linking or removal.

Materials are considered active if participants home or talk pages link to them and edits have taken place within three months, even if the materials are not yet ready for general use within active learning processes.

Materials are considered idle if participants linking to the materials are nonresponsive to queries placed on their talk pages for six months.

GFDL
The GNU Free Documentation License, our copyright licence, requires that forked materials based upon GFDL documents (which includes copying existing Wikiversity pages to make new ones) must comply with certain basic requirements: On MediaWiki wikis, including Wikiversity, common practice for observing both requirements is: For administrative convenience, particularly for determining whether an original page can be deleted without violating the GFDL, it is best practice to note in the source page which pages are copies of it. This is particularly true of pages that have been merged into other pages (which is, again, copying).
 * The "network location" of the original page must be given.
 * The title(s), authorship, and history of the original page must be preserved.
 * To use an internal link in the initial edit summary when the copy is created
 * To not delete the source page, since doing so removes the preserved title(s), authorship, and history upon which the copy relies

Ordinary editors can only create forks by copying and pasting the wikitext of pages, which is subject to the preceding requirements. Administrators have the additional ability, via the Export and Import tools, to more directly preserve authorship, title, and history information when creating forks. However, these tools require the use of a sibling Wikimedia Foundation project as an intermediary.

Article Evaluation
The wikipedia article on the Information Cycle was evaluated.

- Starting sentence is poorly worded, sounds like cycle is exclusively for reporters and scholars rather than information consumers.

- The first citation leads to a "page not found" error.

- The article in general is poorly worded and tough to follow.

- Unnecessary quotes around the word "naturally," suggests some negative connotation around the concept. Otherwise, the article is mostly neutral.

- Short article, does not do anything but describe the steps of each stage in the cycle.

- Other citations are true, the information in them supports the information in the article.

- Could add information on the timeframes of each step, their uses, and where most people get their information along the cycle.

- The article lacks a talk page, indicating no editing has been done to it.

- The article is rated poorly. It is called a culture-related article and is a stub.

- Wikipedia seems uninformed and not fleshed out, whereas the discussion in class was more detailed and comprehensive.

Talk:Rhetoric and Composition I

Discussion
Okay, I've started the thing. What I'm thinking now is that we should decide our outcomes and discuss our writing pedagogy on this page. We will use modes, etc. We could make several syllabi emphasizing different approaches--for instance, one could be "Personal Writing Syllabi" that focused on personal writer, or perhaps we could have "themes" such as "Cultural Studies Syllabi" that exposed students to more readings about culture. It's really wide open at this point. At some point, we'll start a wikibook called Rhetoric and Composition and organize that for use in these courses.--Mattbarton.exe 14:20, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

WOW!!!
Totally dig what you've done! Don't quit! Make sure you go list yourself in the SLES faculty!!!!

Bayesian statistics

Resampling vs. Bayesian Computation
Typically, the question one attempts to answer using statistics is that there is a relationship between two variables. To demonstrate that there is a relationship the experimenter must show that when one variable changes the second variable changes and that the amount of change is more than would be likely from mere chance alone.

There are two ways to figure the probability of an event. The first is to do a mathematical calculation to determine how often the event can happen. The second is to observe how often the event happens by counting the number of times the event could happen and also counting the number of times the event actually does happen.

The use of a mathematical calculation is when a person can say that the chance of the event rolling a one on a six sided die is one in six. The probability is figured by figuring the number of ways the event can happen and divide that number by the total number of possible outcomes. Another example is in a well shuffled deck of cards, what is the probability of the event of drawing a three. The answer is four in fifty two since there are four cards numbered three and there are a total of fifty two cards in a deck. The chance of the event of drawing a card in the suite of diamonds is thirteen in fifty two (there are thirteen cards of each of the four suites). The chance the event of drawing the three of diamonds is one in fifty two.

Sometimes, the size of the total event space, the number of different possible events, is not known. In that case, you will need to observe the event system and count the number of times the event actually happens versus the number of times it could happen but doesn't.

For instance, a warranty for a coffee maker is a probability statement. The manufacturer calculates that the probability the coffee maker will stop working before the warranty period ends is low. The way such a warranty is calculated involves testing the coffee maker to calculate how long the typical coffee maker continues to function. Then the manufacturer uses this calculation to specify a warranty period for the device. The actual calculation of the coffee maker's life span is made by testing coffee makers and the parts that make up a coffee maker and then using probability to calculate the warranty period.

Experiments, Outcomes and Events
The easiest way to think of probability is in terms of experiments and their potential outcomes. Many examples can be drawn from everyday experience: On the drive home from work, you can encounter a flat tire, or have an uneventful drive; the outcome of an election can include either a win by candidate A, B, or C, or a runoff.

Definition: The entire collection of possible outcomes from an experiment is termed the sample space, indicated as $$\Omega$$ (Omega)

The simplest (albeit uninteresting) example would be an experiment with only one possible outcome, say $$A$$. From elementary set theory, we can express the sample space as follows:

$$\Omega = \{ A \} $$

A more interesting example is the result of rolling a six sided die. The sample space for this experiment is:

$$\Omega = \{ 1,2,3,4,5,6 \}$$

We may be interested in events in an experiment.

Definition: An event is some subset of outcomes from the sample space

In the die example, events of interest might include a) the outcome is an even number b) the outcome is less than three

These events can be expressed in terms of the possible outcomes from the experiment: a) : $$ \{2,4,6\} $$ b) : $$ \{ 1,2 \}$$

We can borrow definitions from set theory to express events in terms of outcomes. Here is a refresher of some terminology, and some new terms that will be important later: $$ \cup $$ represents the Union of two events $$ \cap $$ represents the Intersection of two events $$\{\cdots\}^{c}$$ represents the complement of an event. For instance, "the outcome is an even number" is the complement of "the outcome is an odd number" in the dice example. $$ A \backslash B $$ represents difference, that is, $$A$$ but not $$B$$. For example, we may be interested in the event of drawing the queen of spades from a deck of cards. This can be expressed as the event of drawing a queen, but not drawing a queen of hearts, diamonds or clubs. $$\varnothing$$ or $$\{\}$$ represent an impossible event $$\Omega$$ represents a certain event $$A$$ and $$B$$ are called disjoint events if $$A\cap B = \varnothing$$

Probability
Now that we know what events are, we should think a bit about a way to express the likelihood of an event occurring. The classical definition of probability comes from the following. If we can perform our experiment over and over in a way that is repeatable, we can count the number of times that the experiment gives rise to event $$A$$. We also keep track of the number of times that we perform the same experiment. If we repeat the experiment a large enough number of times, we can express the probability of event $$A$$ as follows: $$P(A) = \frac{N_{A}}{N} $$ where $$N_{A}$$ is the number of times event $$A$$ occurred, and $$N$$ is the number of times the experiment was repeated. Therefore the equation can be read as "the probability of event $$A$$ equals the number of times event $$A$$ occurs divided by the number of times the experiment was repeated (or the number of times event $$A$$ could have occurred)." As $$N$$ approaches infinity, the fraction above approaches the true probability of the event $$A$$. The value of $$P(A)$$ is clearly between 0 and 1. If our event is the certain event $$\Omega$$, then for each time we perform the experiment, the event $$\Omega$$ is observed; $$N_{\Omega} = N$$ and $$P(\Omega)=1$$. If our event is the impossible event $$\varnothing$$, we know $$N_{\varnothing}=0$$ and $$ P(\varnothing) = 0$$.

If $$A$$ and $$B$$ are disjoint events, then whenever event $$A$$ is observed, then it is impossible for event $$B$$ to be observed simultaneously. Therefore the number of times events $$A$$ union $$B$$ occurs are equal to the number of times event $$A$$ occurred plus the number of times $$B$$ occurs. This can be expressed as: $$N(A\cup B) = N(A) + N(B)$$ Given our definition of probability, we can arrive at the following: $$P(A\cup B) = P(A) + P(B)$$

At this point it's worth remembering that not all events are disjoint events. For events that are not disjoint, we end up with the following probability definition. $$ P(A\cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\cap B)$$ How can we see this from example? Well, let's consider drawing from a deck of cards. I'll define two events: "drawing a Queen", and "drawing a Spade". It is immediately clear that these are not disjoint events, because you can draw a queen that is also a spade. There are four queens in the deck, so if we perform the experiment of drawing a card, putting it back in the deck and shuffling (what statisticians refer to as sampling with replacement, we will end up with a probability of $$\frac{1}{13}$$ for a queen draw. By the same argument, we obtain a probability for drawing a spade as $$\frac{1}{4}$$.  The expression $$P(A\cup B)$$ here can be translated as "the chance of drawing a queen or a spade".  If we incorrectly assume that for this case $$P(A\cup B) = P(A) + P(B)$$, we can simply add our probabilities together for "the chance of drawing a queen or a spade" as $$\frac{1}{13}+\frac{1}{4}$$.  If we were to gather some data experimentally, we would find that our results would differ from the prediction -- the probability observed would be slightly less than $$\frac{1}{13}+\frac{1}{4}$$.  Why?  Because we're counting the queen of spades twice in our expression, once as a spade, and again as a queen. We need to count it only once, as it can only be drawn with probability of $$\frac{1}{52}$$. Still confused?

Proof: If $$A$$ and $$B$$ are not disjoint, we have to avoid the double counting problem by exactly specifying their union. $$A \cup B = A \cup (B \backslash A) $$ so $$P(A \cup B) = P(A \cup (B \backslash A)) $$ $$A$$ and $$B \backslash A$$ are disjoint sets. We can then use the definition of disjoint events from above to express our desired result: $$P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B \backslash A)$$ We also know that $$P(B \backslash A) = P(B) - P(B\cap A)$$ so $$ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(B\cap A)$$ Whew! Our first proof. I hope that wasn't too dry.

Conditional Probability
Many events are conditional on the occurrence of other events. Sometimes this coupling is weak. One event may become more or less probable depending on our knowledge that another event has occurred. For instance, the probability that your friends and relatives will call asking for money is likely to be higher if you win the lottery. In my case, I don't think this probability would change.

Let's get formal for a second and remember our original definition of probability. $$P(A) = \frac{N_{A}}{N}$$ Consider an additional event $$B$$, and a situation where we are only interested in the probability of the occurrence of $$A$$ when $$B$$ occurs. A way at this probability is to perform a set of experiments (trials) and only record our results when the event $$B$$ occurs. In other words $$ \frac{N_{A\cap B}}{N_{B}} $$ We can divide through on top and bottom by $$N$$ the total number of trials to get $$P(A\cap B)/P(B)$$. We define this as 'conditional probability': $$P(A|B) = \frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}$$ which when spoken, takes the sound "probability of $$A$$ given $$B$$."

Bayes' Law

 * On Wikipedia: Bayes' theorem

An important theorem in statistics and the cornerstone of Bayesian statistics is Bayes' Law (also known as Bayes' theorem), which states that

$$ P(B|A) = \frac{P(A|B)P(B)}{P(A)}$$, It is easy to prove. We start with identical expressions for $$P(A\cap B)$$. We know that: $$ P(A\cap B) = P(B\cap A) $$, $$ P(A\cap B) = P(A|B)P(B)$$, and $$ P(B\cap A) = P(B|A)P(A)$$. Since $$ P(A\cap B) = P(B\cap A) $$, $$ P(A|B)P(B) = P(B|A) P(A)$$.

A simple rearrangement of above line gives us Bayes' Law.

Independence
Two events $$A$$ and $$B$$ are called independent if the occurrence of one has absolutely no effect on the probability of the occurrence of the other. Mathematically, this is expressed as: $$P(A\cap B) = P(A)P(B)$$.

Note that this implies that $$ P(A|B) = P(A) $$ That is, adding the information about $$B$$ is irrelevant towards determining the likelihood of $$A$$.

Random Variables
It's usually possible to represent the outcome of experiments in terms of integers or real numbers. For instance, in the case of conducting a poll, it becomes a little cumbersome to present the outcomes of each individual respondant. Let's say we poll ten people for their voting preferences (Republican - R, or Democrat - D) in two different electorial districts. Our results might look like this: $$\{RRRDRRDRRR\}$$ and $$\{DDDDDRDDDD\}$$ But we're probably only interested in the overall breakdown in voting preference for each district. If we assign an integer value to each outcome, say 0 for Democrat and 1 for Republican, we can obtain a concise summary of voting preference by district simply by adding the results together.

Discrete and Continuous Random Variables
There are two important subclasses of random variables: discrete random variable (DRV) and continuous random variable (CRV). Discrete random variables take only countably many values. It means that we can list the set of all possible values that a discrete random variable can take, or in other words, the number of possible values in the set that the variable can take is finite. If the possible values that a DRV X can take are a0,a1,a2,...an, the probability that X takes each is p0=P(X=a0), p1=P(X=a1), p2=P(X=a2),...pn=P(X=an). All these probabilites are greater than or equal zero.

For continuous random variables, we cannot list all possible values that a continuous variable can take because the number of values it can take is extremely large. It means that there is no use to calculate the probability of each value separately because the probability that the variable takes a particular value is extremely small and can be considered zero P(X=x)=0).

William Beynon

William Beynon (1888–1958) was a Canadian hereditary chief of the Tsimshian Nation and an oral historian; he served as ethnographer, translator, and linguistic consultant to many anthropologists who studied his people.

Early life and education
Beynon was born 1888 in Victoria, British Columbia, son of a Tsimshian woman of Nisga'a ancestry and "Captain Billy" Beynon, a Welsh steamboat captain. Although some sources describe Beynon as being Nisga'a or matrilineally Nisga'a, his ancestry was more complicated by the colonial interpretation of long standing relationships between nations. Beynon's maternal line descends from members of the Laxgibuu (Wolf clan) of the Nisga'a nation. Members of his line had moved from the Nass River to Port Simpson, British Columbia, coincidentally after nearly the entire mission village of Metlakatla, BC migrated in 1887 to Metlakatla, Alaska following the lay missionary William Duncan. The mission had members from many tribes including the Gitlaan tribe. Beynon's maternal grandfather was Arthur Wellington Clah, a hereditary Tsimshian chief and a Hudson's Bay Company employee. The Gitlaan tribe is one of the "Nine Tribes" whose Chiefs happened to be at Fort Simpson (later Port Simpson, later Lax Kw'alaams) when the Indian agent designated the location as one of the seven Tsimshian Indian reserve communities.

William Beynon was the only one of six brothers to be raised fluent in the Tsimshian language. When his mother's only surviving brother, Albert Wellington, died in 1913, William Beynon moved from Victoria to Port Simpson at the age of 25 to assume his uncle's hereditary title, Gwisk'aayn. This was in accordance with Tsimshian rules of matrilineal succession, and he served as hereditary chief of the Gitlaan tribe until his own death.

Career
Beginning in 1914, Beynon was hired as a translator and transcriber by the anthropologist Marius Barbeau, then in the employ of the Geological Survey of Canada. Barbeau and Beynon's series of interviews with Lax Kw'alaams chiefs and elders in 1914-15 has been called by the anthropologist Wilson Duff "one of the most productive field seasons in the history of [North] American anthropology." In 1916 Beynon continued the same type of work, on his own, with the Tsimshian of Kitkatla, B.C. This field trip was marred by a measles epidemic among the people, causing high mortality. In addition, Benyon was shipwrecked for ten days on an uninhabited island with Chief Seeks of the Kitkatla tribe.

As Beynon increased his facility with phonetic transcription and knowledge of his own people's traditions—which, as a formerly assimilated urbanite, he was quickly learning—he began to work more and more under his own direction. In the 1920s he worked with Barbeau with elders from the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas Tsimshian and the Gitksan nation, in and around Terrace, British Columbia.

From 1918 to 1924, Beynon worked extensively up and down the coast, collecting museum artifacts for Sir Henry Wellcome, executor of the estate of William Duncan, the missionary founder of Metlakatla, Alaska. Beynon spent considerable time there as Wellcome's local representative.

From 1929 until 1956, when Beynon became ill, he continued to send Barbeau his own fieldnotes, covering every conceivable aspect of the culture and traditions of the Tsimshian, Gitksan, and Nisga'a peoples. He carefully recorded oral narratives. His tour de force was a 200-page description of a four-day potlatch and totem-pole-raising feast in 1945 in the Gitksan village of Gitsegukla. This has recently been issued in book form.

Wilson Duff has ranked the resulting thousands of pages of Barbeau-Beynon field notes, now housed at the Canadian Museum of Civilization, as "the most complete body of information on the social organization of any Indian nation".

In 1931, Beynon was one of the four founding members of the Native Brotherhood of British Columbia, an indigenous-rights organization founded in Port Simpson. The Native Brotherhood was instrumental in securing the rights for Natives to vote, among many of their advocacy roles.

From 1932 to 1939 Beynon sent the anthropologist Franz Boas approximately 250 transcribed narratives. These are known as the "Beynon Manuscripts," and are held by the Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Columbia University, New York.

In the early 1930s Beynon facilitated the immensely productive Port Simpson fieldwork of Viola Garfield, a doctoral student of Boas. Many pages of Garfield's voluminous field notebooks are filled out in Beynon's handwriting. Their work was the basis of Garfield's PhD dissertation and first book.

In 1953 Beynon worked with the anthropologist Philip Drucker, of the Smithsonian Institution. For Drucker, Beynon wrote his own, as yet unpublished, synthesis of the complex lineage histories of the Tsimshianic-speaking peoples.

Beynon died in 1958 in Prince Rupert, B.C. He had spent most of his life earning a living in the canning and fishing industries, like many of his people. But he made as large and valuable a contribution to Northwest Coast ethnology as any professional anthropologist. His published and unpublished works continue to be an invaluable resource for the Tsimshian, Gitksan, and Nisga'a peoples.

Beynon's papers are found at the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia.

Her first on-screen appearance was a small role as Ally in an episode of the comedy television series Even Stevens. In 2004, she joined the cast of the ABC show 8 Simple Rules, playing Jenna Sharpe. In 2010, she became somewhat of an Internet sensation after appearing as "Denise" in Taco Bell commercials. She had guest roles on the television shows C.S.I. (2002), How I Met Your Mother (2011), Mad Men (2013) and 90210 (2013). She had a lead role as Emily in romantic comedy film The Park Bench (2014). The film also earned her Jury Award for Best Actress in a Narrative Feature at Queens World Film Festival. She also appeared in episodes of Grey's Anatomy; Station 19; The Catch; Diary of a Wedding Planner; and One & Done.

She has been credited as Nikki Hayden, Nikki D. Hayden but is now known as Nicole Hayden. One reason she has changed her screen name various times is because the Screen Actors Guild only allows one individual to perform under one name, and there were conflicts with her previous screen names.

Symphony for the Devil (Type O Negative album)

Symphony for the Devil is a live DVD by Type O Negative released on March 14, 2006. It is a video of a live concert at the Bizarre Festival in 1999, with a behind-the-scenes look at Type O Negative, an interview with the band, commentary, biographies of the band members and a collection of photographs.

The DVD was recorded on Sunday August 22, 1999, at the 12th Bizarre Festival in Cologne, Germany. This gig was originally recorded for a German live-in-concert program, WDR Rockpalast, and broadcast on German television. The band bought the live footage because it seemed to be the best one available to date regardless of the previous TV releases. Twelve cameras were used. The DVD does not have the performances of the cover songs "Back in the USSR" and "Day Tripper Medley" that were part of the live show and TV broadcast.

A bonus CD of the Dead Again album has five audio tracks from this show.
