Talk:Weather Machine/Archive 1

Copy edit
Hi, I've volunteered to copyedit Weather Machine (sculpture). None of my edits are law; please feel free to revert anything I've done that you disagree with, and feel free to contact me with any concerns that aren't solved with a simple revert.

I think it would be nice if the article could have an explanation of 'Terence O'Donnell and his "funny Irish jig"'—this line seemed to me to pop out form nowhere and left me scratching my head. Also, the infobox states the structure is 30ft, but the body states it is 25–30ft. Curly Turkey (gobble) 04:30, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the copy edit. I agree with your edits. Much appreciated. I agree re: the jig. I thought the same thing myself, but alas the source does say just that... I am still conducting research and hope the connection becomes more obvious. I am not sure what to do about the 25-30 foot height range; sources indicate both, so in the prose I reflect the range but this is not possible using the infobox parameters (as far as I know). I went with the larger of the two numbers for the infobox. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 14:50, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, I think I'm done with this copyedit. As I said already, feel free to revert anything you disagree with.  Also, I haven't checked sources, checked for comprehensiveness, etc etc, or done anything beyond simple copyediting.  You might want to double-check what I've done to ensure I haven't introduced any errors, or worded things so that they contradict what the sources say.
 * If you're really aiming at GA with this, then I think you'll probably have to get the height thing straightened out. At the very least, it needs an explanatory endnote.  The infobox is more problematic—I don't think we can really just choose one height over the other.  Maybe you can find help at the template's talk page—maybe they either can show you how to display it, or they can fix the template some way.  Curly Turkey (gobble) 06:18, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Your edits look fine to me -- thanks again! -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 15:03, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Update: I found a source that says the sculpture is 33 feet tall, which widens the height range even more. I posted a comment on the infobox talk re: ranges for measurements. In the meantime, I left the height parameter at 30 foot, and the prose mentions the range from 25 feet to 33 feet. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:17, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅. The infobox now displays the height range. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:14, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Use of non-free images in this article
This article currently (14 Nov 2013) uses three images, and all are tagged as free images. However, since they may be seen as derivative works of the copyrighted sculpture, all are nominated for deletion on Commons. (See for the centralized deletion discussion on Commons, and see this talk page discussion for further details.)

Even if they are deemed non-free derivative works and are deleted from Commons, we can still upload the images to en.wiki and use them under our non-free content policy, so long as they fulfill all our non-free content criteria. I have no doubt that using a single image of the Weather Machine would be acceptable under Wikipedia policy. My questions are: would our policy allow two non-free images of the sculpture, so long as they are showing different aspects or configurations? Could three ever be acceptable? And which image or images should we use? (Note in particular NFCC#3b, which states "Multiple items of non-free content are not used if one item can convey equivalent significant information.")

The article currently uses:
 * File:PioneerSquareWeatherMachine.jpg is probably the clearest image, showing a "sun" top.
 * File:Weather Machine - Portland, Oregon (2013) - 02.JPG is a close-up, showing more detail, with a "heron" top.
 * File:Occupy Portland (Downtown PDX).jpg gives a good sense of scale, seen with a crowd of people.

In addition, we might consider File:Weather Machine, Portland, Oregon (2013) - 3.jpeg, which shows a very different angle.

Comments? Opinions? – Quadell (talk) 14:15, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Just to give my own opinion, I think File:PioneerSquareWeatherMachine.jpg definitely should be in the infobox, even if the image is non-free. Further, I think it would be acceptable to also include File:Weather Machine - Portland, Oregon (2013) - 02.JPG, which shows a different "top". I am skeptical as to whether any other non-free images of the work could be included in this article. – Quadell (talk) 18:23, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Agreed re: the two images you mentioned. Personally, I hope the Occupy Portland image can be kept because I do not believe the sculpture is the main focus of the image and I think it provide a sense of scale. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:05, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

I just uploaded File:Weather Machine plaque (2013).jpg, which should be appropriate for Wikipedia. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 03:44, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Naming of article?
OK, so I see that this article is scheduled to be the Featured Article for 1/6/2014. First, thanks and congratulations to all who made that happen. However, I do need to ask - Is it purposeful that this article be named Weather Machine (sculpture) instead of just Weather Machine, which is currently a redirect to the article? There are no other articles that share the Weather Machine name, and it looks like the redirect I just mentioned was originally pointing to the article Weather modification. Also, the redirect Weather machine, with a lower-case "m", still points to Weather modification.

I would like to suggest the following:
 * Change the name of this article from Weather Machine (sculpture) to Weather Machine
 * Change the redirect Weather machine so that it points to this article
 * At the top of this article, add a template that points users to Weather modification if that is what they were looking for.

Please forgive me if this has already been discussed elsewhere. Thanks, and please let me know if any comments. KConWiki (talk) 03:40, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * You're right---we only disambiguate when necessary. The page should be moved to Weather Machine. Curly Turkey (gobble) 04:08, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Works for me. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 04:11, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Do one of you guys want to pursue that, or do you want me to? (I assume it would be a "rename" template or something? On my view, the "move" tab is not present on the regular article.) KConWiki (talk) 05:10, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I am going to go ahead and add the request to this talk page. KConWiki (talk) 05:28, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * All right - on these three points:
 * Change the name of this article from Weather Machine (sculpture) to Weather Machine - I have requested this.
 * Change the redirect Weather machine so that it points to this article - I have done this.
 * At the top of this article, add a template that points users to Weather modification if that is what they were looking for. - I have done this.
 * KConWiki (talk) 05:44, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 06:38, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Should the FA review page also be moved? -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 20:37, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I believe it was moved as a subpage of the article. bd2412  T 20:50, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I think the GA page was moved, but not the FA page. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 20:55, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I see. I'm not sure there's any point in moving that. bd2412  T 21:36, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, ok. I will let others decide; I just figured it was good practice to keep related pages named consistently. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:43, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page speedy moved by User:BD2412 Zzyzx11 (talk) 17:43, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Weather Machine (sculpture) → Weather Machine – The article that is currently named "Weather Machine (sculpture)" is scheduled to be the Featured Article on 1-6-2014. Per discussion at the talk page, there is no reason that it should not be Weather Machine, without the need for a parenthetical suffix. Due to the prominence that this article will achieve in less than 24 hours, I would think that this should be done as soon as possible. Thanks. KConWiki (talk) 05:32, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Support as the only topic by this name. Given the circumstances, and the above discussion which clearly supports such a move, I will implement an immediate move of the title, with objections to be sorted out after the main page experience has concluded. Cheers! bd2412  T 15:26, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Mustafa Al-Habib

This page isn't a candidate for speedy deletion. Space Moose is certainly a notable cartoon. I guess the real question is...the Space Moose article was recently edited to remove the Space Moose creator's real name and replace it with his official pen name ("Mustafa Al-Habib"). I understand that the author wishes to distance himself from the cartoon because of his current professional situation, but on the other hand, the author's name is well-known.

It probably makes more sense to redirect this page to Space Moose, which I'll do now.  OhNo itsJamie Talk 02:42, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Claw Your Way to the Top: How to Become the Head of a Major Corporation in Roughly a Week

The result of the debate was keep. Flowerparty ■ 11:05, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Claw Your Way to the Top: How to Become the Head of a Major Corporation in Roughly a Week
Page is essentially a book review, albeit one with many excerpted quotes. As a compilation, it would seem to fail WP:OR. In any case, if it is to remain as a book summary, it would need serious cleanup. Because there doesn't seem to have been a clamor for a synopsis of the book before (especially in view of only one Dave Barry work's having gotten a page), I think the article should be deleted In view of the changes made (and those that editors will surely continue to make), the article surely no longer seems to fit any particular criterion for deletion and surely belongs; consequently, keep. Joe 05:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable book, ranks #1,354,465 on Amazon -- T B C [[Image:Confused-tpvgames.gif|18px|]] ???  ???   ??? 06:03, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete ... and the paperback ranks 262,543, but still non-notable. Merge basic info to Dave Barry. Sandstein 06:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Add the title of the book to Dave Barry's bibliography and delete.  (aeropagitica)   06:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete, non-notable book. J I P  | Talk 14:24, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Obvious Keep, non-negligible book by conspicuously notable author. Just being a lousy article isn't grounds for deleting the subject, and saying that an article should be deleted because parallel subjects don't have many articles is arguing that Wikipedia should not improve its coverage in areas where existing coverage is inadequate. Monicasdude 16:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * CommentOf course, I expect we'd quibble over where existing coverage is inadequate. Many new pages extend coverage to areas that were not previously covered, but many of those areas are not covered for a reason.  When I noted that only one of Dave Barry's non-fic works has a page, I meant to suggest that a consensus already existed to the effect that the books were non-notable; one may perhaps disagree as to the propriety of my making this inference or to the validity or veracity of the inference.  Notwithstanding that, I adduce the Wikipedia page for Al Franken's wonderful Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations.  The differences between that page and the current one are readily apparent.  It is always my policy to vote "delete" where a page is wholly substandard, even if I believe the topic of the page to merit inclusion here.  General policy would seem to suggest that my voting is inappropriate, but one also observes that, at WP:DGFA, it is suggested that, as one deletes an article, he/she may, believing that the article should exist in a different format, instead list the article at WP:RA.  I am always concerned about votes to keep deficient articles, because those who say that the articles should be cleaned up rather than deleted don't often take part in the cleaning up (I don't fault anyone for this; it's very easy to take on other projects here and to forget what one intended to do).  Joe 20:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Obvious Keep. Notable book by a very notable author. The only one of his non-fiction books with a blue link, which makes me very sad. These need to be filled in, not erased. Grand  master  ka  20:36, 21 March 2006 (UTC)  Good point. The subject matter is certainly notable in my opinion, but this should be deleted and started over (I could probably write about a few of his red-linked books...)  Grand  master  ka  23:14, 21 March 2006 (UTC) Keep rewritten article.  Grand  master  ka  05:44, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep, rewrote article - it's still a stub, but it's NPOV and rewritten with a stub tag, a category, an ext link, etc. Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 23:39, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, not every book by every notable author needs an article. Catamorphism 03:45, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Dave barry is very notable. He writes for the New york times.  He has sevral books published.  I own many of his books.  He is very notable.  I hear people talking about him all the time.  There are articles for far less notable books.  Tobyk777 05:15, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, reasonable book stub for notable work. -Colin Kimbrell 14:43, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Determining and confirming client business expectations and needs

From the official document:
 * "This unit defines the competency required to determine client business requirements and verify the accuracy of the information gathered."

Basically, that means asking good questions, listening well and checking the answers. Sometimes it can mean doing a little educating too - some clients don't know what's possible until you tell them.

You can read more about this unit on the National Training Information Systems Official document for ICAA4041A.

This unit forms part of the following qualifications:
 * Cert IV Websites Qualification in Australia
 * Cert III Applications Qualification in Australia

How this unit will help you
After learning and applying the skills required by this unit you'll be able to demonstrate your skills in:

 * Defining and documenting problems
 * Gathering information
 * Getting sign-off from your client

Ideas for learning the required skills
Pick up a copy of - A Guide to Understanding and Diagnosing Our Clients’ Business – The Fallon Way and work through it for a business in your area. Although written by an advertising agency for campaign creation, there are a number of similarities to web site design.

Ideas for demonstrating this unit
The best way to demonstrate these skills is ...

Grading
If you are demonstrating this unit as part of a formal course, you might find that the unit is graded (meaning you can not only demonstrate your competence, but can also gain a credit or distinction). Your facilitator may already have set criteria that your college uses. If not, here are some ideas for possible credit/distinction activities that you can discuss with your facilitator:

 * Is it broad in its coverage? ✅

 * Hi Jonas. Basically, it is because it is the thing he is most notable for. Regards, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 01:31, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Peacemaker67, okay I see what you mean. I think I'm going to ask for a second opinion on this one. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 15:53, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure, no problem. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 23:35, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I've added the 2nd opinion syntax to the GAN template. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 09:48, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

If the section on the book is much larger than the biographical part, then there is a good case for the page to be split. See Splitting: "If [...] a section of an article has a length that is out of proportion to the rest of the article, it is often appropriate for some or all of the article to be split into new articles." Half of the biographical information comes from a footnote in an article, and was presumably provided by PJC himself; this makes it hard to pass as a GA. EddieHugh (talk) 21:18, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks Eddie. That's useful feedback. Jonas, I'm happy for you to fail this, I may then split the article. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 02:09, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure it's out of balance. Let me take another look.  auntieruth (talk) 20:37, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

 * certainly it's significantly longer than the biography, but that withstanding, I'd leave it as is. Instead, it might be useful to have the article about the book itself, and the information on the author as a section.  I had only one quibble: in the US, people don't read for a Bachelors, they either earn or receive.
 * Thanks Ruth, that's a good idea, and cheers for the "read" tip. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 23:03, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Statistics/Summary/Range

Range of Data
The range of a sample (set of data) is simply the maximum possible difference in the data, i.e. the difference between the maximum and the minimum values. A more exact term for it is "range width" and is usually denoted by the letter R or w. The two individual values (the max. and min.) are called the "range limits". Often these terms are confused and students should be careful to use the correct terminology.

For example, in a sample with values 2 3 5 7 8 11 12, the range is 11 (|12|-|2|+1=11) and the range limits are 2 and 12.

The range is the simplest and most easily understood measure of the dispersion (spread) of a set of data, and though it is very widely used in everyday life, it is too rough for serious statistical work. It is not a "robust" measure, because clearly the chance of finding the maximum and minimum values in a population depends greatly on the size of the sample we choose to take from it and so its value is likely to vary widely from one sample to another. Furthermore, it is not a satisfactory descriptor of the data because it depends on only two items in the sample and overlooks all the rest. A far better measure of dispersion is the standard deviation (s), which takes into account all the data. It is not only more robust and "efficient" than the range, but is also amenable to far greater statistical manipulation. Nevertheless the range is still much used in simple descriptions of data and also in quality control charts.

The mean range of a set of data is however a quite efficient measure (statistic) and can be used as an easy way to calculate s. What we do in such cases is to subdivide the data into groups of a few members, calculate their average range, $$\bar{R} $$ and divide it by a factor (from tables), which depends on n. In chemical laboratories for example, it is very common to analyse samples in duplicate, and so they have a large source of ready data to calculate s.

 * $$s= \frac {\bar{R}}k $$

(The factor k to use is given under standard deviation.)

For example: If we have a sample of size 40, we can divide it into 10 sub-samples of n=4 each. If we then find their mean range to be, say, 3.1, the standard deviation of the parent sample of 40 items is approximately 3.1/2.059 = 1.506.

With simple electronic calculators now available, which can calculate s directly at the touch of a key, there is no longer much need for such expedients, though students of statistics should be familiar with them.

Forming a band

< School:Music and Dance

First decisions

 * Decide to be the leader, and choose whomever you want to work with. Make sure it is someone who you find easy to get along with.
 * Set a meeting time.
 * Don't be afraid to ask for advice of someone more professional.
 * Work up 6 songs and find an open mic or jam session where you can test out your chops.

Who wants to play what ?
(categorizing your band)

Once you've decided to form a band, you should establish what genre of music you aim to play (i.e. rock, blues, jazz, etc.). This must be known in order to select the instrumentation best needed for your band. In most cases, a band will consist of the following :

 * One (1) percussionist or drummer
 * One (1) bass guitar
 * One or more chord/harmonic instrument(s) (such as piano or guitar)
 * One or more lead instrument(s) responsible for the melodies (such as a vocalist or a horn)

Advantages of a bigger band :

 * Fuller sound
 * Will be able to play richer and more complex music arrangements

Inconveniences of a bigger band :

 * More schedules to coordinate
 * Greater needs in terms of rehearsal space and equipment
 * Less individual share in paid gig situations

Finding band members
The best way to find band members is through personal contacts and word-of-mouth. In a nutshell...networking. In this way, you can size up a candidate band mate's personality, level of musicianship, and interest. Some ways to get started are to :

 * Contact musician friends/relatives
 * Post wanted ads in classified papers or online sites (i.e. Craigslist)
 * Attend open mic or jam sessions at coffee shops, restaurants, music stores, etc.
 * Join a community college ensemble (will require the ability to read music and may require an audition)

Naming your band
Bands need names. You could always just take the name of the band leader, or "Frontman." If you decide to do that, one option is to add a nickname for the rest of the band, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, for example.

The other option is to create a nickname for the whole band. This can be virtually anything. It could be a plural noun, implying that each person in the band is one of them (e.g. The Eagles, The Rolling Stones). It could be a phrase, an adjective, a verb, or anything else. It is helpful to have a funny story behind the name.

A rare occurance is to use a list of the major band members as a name, such as Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. This usually only works when each individual is already well-known.

Danish Atheist Society

The Danish Atheist Society (Danish: Ateistisk Selskab "the Atheist Society") is a Danish association for non-believers. The purpose of the association is to be a community for non-believers, to work for a complete separation of church and state, to educate the public about atheism and thereby reduce prejudices against atheists, to encourage people to think critically and independently about life and existence, and to spread a naturalistic worldview founded upon science and critical thinking.

Campaign to encourage Danes to leave the Church of Denmark
In March 2016, the association started a campaign with billboards to encourage Danes to leave the Church of Denmark. They also started a website with information about how to leave the church.

Saint Felim

Saint Felim (also called Feilim, Feidlimid, Feidhlimidh, Felimy, Feidhilmethie, Feidlimthe, Fedlimid, Fedlimidh, Phelim, Phelime), an Irish Christian hermit and priest, was born, probably in Kiennacta Breagh, County Meath in the mid sixth century.

His father was Carill, son of Laisrén, son of Dallán, son of Eógan mac Néill, son of Niall of the Nine Hostages, son of Eochaid Mugmedón.

His mother was Dediva (also called Editua or Dedi or Deidi or Deighe or Deidiu or Deaga or Mediva), daughter of Tren, son of Dubhthach moccu Lughair, who was a Chief Ollam of Ireland and royal poet of King Lóegaire mac Néill. Dediva's other children were Saint Senan of Laraghbrine, son of Fintan, Saint Caillin of Fenagh, son of Niata, St.Mainchín of Corann, son of Collan of Corann, Saint Daigh of Inniskeen, who was another son of Carill and Saint Felim's younger full brother, Saint Femia who was a daughter of Carill and Saint Felim's full sister, Saint Diarmaid the Just, son of Lugna and Senchán Torpéist, a later Chief Ollam of Ireland.

Felim became a hermit living near Kilmore, County Cavan, where he later founded a monastery in the townland of Tonymore (Domnach Mor = Big Church). He is patron saint of the Kilmore diocese.

According to the Martyrology of Tallaght and Martyrology of Donegal his feastday is 3 August but the other Calendars give it as 9 August which is celebrated as his feastday in present day. The discrepancy arises because 3 August was the start date of the annual pattern or fair devoted to the saint in Kilmore, which lasted a week from 3 to 9 August. The Ulster Plantation papers of 1608 give a list of fairs in county Cavan which includes- "One fayre holden att Killmore yearly the third day of August being Saint Phelime's Day"

West Branch Area School District

West Branch Area School District is a mid-sized, rural, public school district located in Morrisdale, Clearfield County, and Clinton County, Pennsylvania. The district is one of the 500 public school districts of Pennsylvania. West Branch Area School District was created in 1958 by the joining of Cooper Township High School and Morris Township High School. The district also includes Karthaus Township and Graham Township. The district extends across Clearfield County's eastern border to include West Keating Township in Clinton County. West Branch Area School District encompasses approximately 165 sqmi. According to 2000 federal census data, it served a resident population of 7,833. By 2010, the district's population was 7,857 people. The educational attainment levels for the school district population (25 years old and over) were 85% high school graduates and 9.3% college graduates. In 2009, West Branch Area School District residents' per capita income was $15,055, while the median family income was $37,054 a year. In the Commonwealth, the median family income was $49,501 and the United States median family income was $49,445, in 2010.

Per Distr West Branch Area School District operates three schools: West Branch Area Elementary School, West Branch Middle School,and West Branch Area Senior High School. All of the schools reside in a conjoined building. The current school building was completed in 1964, with an addition to the high school that was finished in 2005. High school students may choose to attend Clearfield County Career and Technology Center for training in the construction and mechanical trades; Architectural Drafting & Design Technology; Allied Health Services; Cosmetology; and Culinary Arts & Food Management. The Central Intermediate Unit # 10 provides the district with a wide variety of services like specialized education for disabled students and hearing, speech and visual disability services and professional development for staff and faculty.

Superintendent- Mr. Mark Mitchell High School Principal- Mrs. Brandy O’Hare Middle School Principal- Mr. Kevin Hubler Elementary Principle - Dr. Angela Michaels

Extracurriculars
West Branch Area School District offers a variety of clubs, activities and sports.

Athletics
West Branch's mascot is the Warrior. Their team motos are "Warrior Power" and "Warrior Pride". They participate in the PIAA District 6 with Single-A classification in all but wrestling and baseball, where they compete in Double-A. Noteworthy athletic achievements include five PIAA individual state champions in wrestling (Jerry White, Robert English, Justin Owens, Jared Ricotta & Reynold 'Buzzy' Maines), winning a district championship in football in 1988, a district championship in baseball, a team district duals championship in wrestling, and other various conference championships. Former Warrior baseball players Ed Veres and John Prestash were selected in the Major League Baseball Draft straight out of high school. Larry Beightol, a former football player at West Branch, is an offensive line coach in the NFL, most recently working with the Detroit Lions. Wrestling State Champion Jared Ricotta, after starting four years for the Duquesne Dukes Division I Wrestling Team and capturing three Northeast Regional Titles was recruited by NASCAR's Hendrick Motorsports as a professional tire changer.

Starting in fall 2010, West Branch and local school Philipsburg-Osceola School District agreed to a co-op boys soccer program. Any 9-12th grade boy wishing to play soccer now plays with the Philipsburg Soccer team.

Margaret Campbell

Margaret Campbell (April 24, 1883 – June 27, 1939) was an American character actress in silent films. In her later years, she was the secretary of the Baháʼí Spiritual Assembly of Los Angeles.

Career
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Campbell was the leading lady of the Bramhall Players. She appeared on Broadway in Lightnin' (1918), Keeping Up Appearances (1918), The Silent Assertion (1917), Difference in Gods (1917), Keeping Up Appearances (1916), The Merchant of Venice (1913), Hamlet (1912), and Kassa (1909). Later she followed her husband, actor Josef Swickard, into films and was usually cast as rather grand ladies. She retired from the screen at the advent of sound.

Death
In 1939, Campbell was sexually assaulted and bludgeoned to death with a hammer. Her son, Campbell McDonald, was the initial suspect. He was also suspected of having bludgeoned to death a Russian dancer, Anya Sosoyeva, as well as having assaulted the young actress Delia Bogard, who survived. He was later cleared of those attacks when the actual murderer was captured by the Los Angeles police force. Both attacks occurred on the Los Angeles City College campus.

The Voynich Manuscript/F7r

Transcription, comments, theories, links to do with VMs page f7r to be added here... :-)

Description:
One plant with no leaves and a single huge flower, spanning the entire height and width of the page.

 * Root: a short, vertical, cylindrical stem that splits into two almost horizontal mousetails.

 * Stem: straight, vertical.

 * Branches: none.

 * Leaves: none.

 * Flowers: a single flower at the tip of the stem.

 * Stalk: not visible, or indistinguishable from stem.

 * Chalyx: eight symmetrical sepals, shaped like long parabolas.

 * Corolla: four layers, of decreasing sizes, each having four symmetric petals, located diagonally with respect to  the previous layer.

 * Core: none.

Two paragraphs (with 4.3 lines and 4.5 lines), both left- and right-justified: one at the top, interrupted by the flower; one just below mid-page, interrupted by the main stem.

Comments:
Petersen has identified this plant with high confidence as

Nymphaea alba (white water lily, seerose)

http://www.runeberg.org/nordflor/181.html

http://linnaeus.nrm.se/flora/di/nymphaea/nymph/nympcan2.jpg

There is indeed a good match in the shape and arrangement of the petals and sepals. Also, the lack of leaves and branches in f7v is plausibly explained by the fact that Nymphaea's flowers float on the water's surface, and thus may have been hidden from the artist's view.

But if f7v is Nymphaea alba, then what do we make of f2v?

Why did someone put this in:

''Ray is also somewhat of a prude, often cringing upon mention of the word 'sex'. On the other hand, he does not attend church, not being as religious as the rest of his family. His main activity outside of work and home is golf.''

I will take it out as Ray is not a prude!

Pomology/Teaching tools

The Pomology Teaching Tools is a non-research project based on practical support to the Department of Pomology. It may also help to the other departments of horticulture. Its attempt is to create study tools for studying pomology, such as pictures, schematic drawings, videos and textbooks. This project should coordinate work on this area and may collaborate with the School of Education.

Pictures
The Department of Pomology needs specific pictures for its teaching operations. The picture is understood here as a photograph. By uploading pictures you can help other people to make schematic pictures from them.
 * Study this: Descriptive Pictures

Demand for Pictures
List here pictures, which are wanted. Then specify what they should include.
 * actinidia fruit - cross section
 * pineapple fruit - cross section

List of uploaded pictures
See them in the gallery.

Schematic Pictures
When we want to help you to understand a specific problem or thing we can use schematic pictures. They are understood here as photographs with schemes within them. See an example:
 * Study this: Schematic Pictures

Demand for Schematic Pictures
List here schematic pictures, which are wanted. Then specify what they should include.

List of uploaded schematic pictures
See them in the gallery.

Available sources
If you are storing here a file, where language could be changed when make a Schematic Picture list it here with contact info or websites. It can be used for spending time, which people from other wikiversity mutations don’t need to spend too much time on creating up new schematic pictures.

Drawings
Drawings or paintings are tools which where developed especially to teach something the observer. They are usually black and white, but might be also colored. Drawings should be easy to understand. They might be developed by drawing and/or painting. Advance users can make them from pictures (=photographs).
 * Study this: Botany Ink Drawing
 * See also: Vector Drawing

Demand for Drawings
List here drawings, which are wanted. Then specify what they should include.

List of uploaded drawings
See them in the gallery.

Video/Animations
Videos and animations are other tools which can help the student to understand the problem. Pomology teaches the student how two maintain fruit crops, harvest them and about post-harvest processes.

Demand for Videos or Animations
List here videos/animations, which are wanted. Then specify what they should include.

Sounds
It is not expected that Department of Pomology will need some sound for its purposes. This paragraph is here for possible needs in the future. Some participants may feel useful to hear expressions or articles via audio. For this needs go to the next paragraph.

Pronunciation/grabbed text
We don’t expect at this time, that there will be a demand for lessons/projects/subjects to have them in audio. We think that there will be a demand for pronunciations of specific words and/or audio text books.

Demand for audio pronunciation
List here words or expressions which you need to hear:

Demand for audio text books
List here official names of text books under Department of Pomology that you want to hear. IMPORTANT: only finished text books can be grabbed!*

Text Books
Text Books are wikiversity full text materials, which are used for studying. It is very difficult to write a good book in a real life. The wikiversity community might help to get easier to obtain free study text books. They should be developed/written by teachers/instructors, but also other people can help. If you would like to help and you are not skilled follow the instruction line for each textbook in the main page discussion. Wikiversity textbooks can be developed by transporting texts from Wikibooks, but also other sources are needed due to the official policy of WikiMedia Foundation.

Textbooks under development

 * Pomology - undergraduate/graduate textbook which is being prepared on Wikibooks.
 * Tropical and Subtropical Pomology - this full text textbook will cover all fruit production of tropics and subtropics. It will be designed on the Graduate level, that Undergraduate and Graduate students may use it. Also the post-graduate students might study from that. It will also give a general information to the students of Citriculture and Banana Production, such as Viticulture on the Department of Viticulture and Enology.

Talk:Online OsiriX Documentation

--Mrich 07:57, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)7 Nov 2004
Just added a new How To: Using OsiriX Plugins

The Quick Manual doesn't mention anything about this, so I dug up some stuff from the OsiriX website and from the online discussion group.

Also added text for the OsiriX Help Menu -

Renaming of most of the pages to conform to the naming conventions --Drendon 22:00, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)
I'm planning to move all the pages in all the languages during the weekend (July 30-31, 2005). The new pages will receive names such as Online_OsiriX_Documentation/3-D_reconstructions. I will also update all the links.

Wikibooks has documentation regarding the naming conventions and the procedure I'll follow. I will be using the subpage convention.

I will use the Spanish version as a test bed, and follow with the English, French, German and finally the Japanese version. At this time, I will not change the content of any of the pages, only the links. While I'm at this, I'll also change the names of the main pages in English and French, to correctly spell OsiriX.

If anyone has objections or suggestions, please attach them to this entry.

 * I'm working at the Wiki's Japanese site. In this English site, two renamed pages have lost redirections to their older named pages. That is in OsiriX HOW TOs, 19.Extract a 3D volume from a series and 20.Working with Curved-MPR, these older pages are 19.Extract a 3D volume are from a series and 20.Work with Curved-MPR. These japanese pages are now linked to older english pages. May I help the change of links in the japanese pages after your renewal?.  --hfuji 05:20, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip on the "lost pages". I will make sure that they are included again (and with correct titles). Regarding the Japanese pages, I will certainly appreciate your help very much. As my knowledge of Japanese is basically null, I was planning on prepending "OsiriX オンライン解説文書/" to all titles and fixing the links accordingly, without touching any other characters at all. Even then, chances of me screwing up are higher than with the other languages. Also, there is no way for me to identify currently misspelled titles. It's comforting to know that someone will double check my work. :-) Drendon 00:13:41, 2005-07-29 (UTC)

 * All right. The usage and layouts are same between Wiki's English and Japanese site. If some troubles occur after updating, I will correct them. Take it easy.  --hfuji 13:00, 29 Jul 2005 (UTC)

OK, I completed all the changes. Everything looks fine, but please check. I rescued the two English pages, along with two lost pages from the French version. Drendon 00:27:47, 2005-08-01 (UTC)

 * I corrected the linked name of OisirX Developer Overview in the page of Online OsiriX Documentation . No other problems exist in the japanese pages. Great job, thanks! --hfuji 12:08, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Generating DSA Images
13 Dec 2005: Added a HOW TO for generating DSA images.

No DICOM Conformance Statement = Osirix is not DICOM compliant
Many Osirix users request support from their modality vendors (GE, Siemens, Agfa, Philips and others) when they run into problems interfacing their modality to Osirix. However, All major and most minor vendors have policies prohibiting their staff from assisting when the PACS product does not have a published DICOM Conformance Statement (DCS).

The reasons for this are twofold: 1) Part 2 of the DICOM Standard (Conformance) stipulates that one of the requisites for a product to claim DICOM compliance is the existance of a released DICOM Conformance Statement, so by definition any product without a DCS is not DICOMhttp://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Online_OsiriX_Documentation&action=edit&oldid=322081 compliant. 2) The lack of complete documentation makes troubleshooting interoperability issues extremely difficult, if not impossible. The WikiBooks documentation is not an adequate substitute for a DCS.

A plea to the Osirix development community: please help these vendors help your users - publish a DCS for Osirix as soon as possible. This is an unsigned comment by <IP_ADDRESS> at 20:12, 29 December 2005.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amrutha Anand

The result was   delete. j⚛e deckertalk 03:31, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Amrutha Anand

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I came across this via a request at WP:REFUND where the article's author (Cvjayanthy) was arguing for its inclusion, as it was tagged with a speedy A7. There was an assertion of notability so I'm taking this to AfD. The argument for notability is essentially that while Miss Anand is registered as holding a record in the Limca Book of Records, I have no real way of telling whether or not this is a world record, national record, or so on. I'm also unfamiliar with the LBoR, so I don't really know how thorough or official they are, although they do seem to be India's equivalent to the Guiness Book of World Records. The other record outlets don't entirely appear to be the sort that Wikipedia would consider to be usable as far as notability purposes go and I don't really see This Yoga as being a reliable source per Wikipedia's guidelines either. Now there is a link to a video here and while the video looks like it's a potential copyright violation, it does show that there was some media coverage of her, albeit not in English. I'm bringing this to AfD in case there are foreign language sources out there and in case someone can verify whether or not this record would make Anand notable enough to warrant an article. I'm going to also alert WP:INDIA to this so they can look for sources and also give some valuable input on whether or not the LBoR is something that can give notability. Now if the LBoR is usable as a RS, we also need to decide whether or not the record is notable enough to be kept on that basis alone. I know that occasionally we will keep articles for people who hold specific world records, but those always seem to be records in areas that have an extremely large amount of other secondary coverage.

 * Delete - A world record is neither a reason for inclusion or exclusion. Notability is defined by having significant reliable source coverage. A search doesn't appear to produce anything, so the subject appears to be non-notable.  However, it is not a judgement on the merits of the record as DGG implies, but rather a judgement on the lack of coverage of said record (or more accurate coverage of the person who achieved it). --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:25, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Prolog/Math, Functions and Equality

This section explains how to use math in prolog, using functions and equality.

Numbers in Prolog
Prolog, like any other programming language, has a representation for numbers. Numbers are used like constants, and represented like they are anywhere on the computer, the following are valid ways of dealing with numbers in a predicate:

a(12, 345). a(A) :- b(A, 234.3). a(345.3409857) :- b(23476.923804).

To perform mathematical operations on numbers, we will need functions. To store the result of a mathematical operation in a variable, we will need to look more closely at equality.

Functions
Until now, predicates have always represented a simple true or false. Predicate a(A, B) is true or false, depending on the values of A and B. Functions are predicates that represent a value. The sin predicate, for instance, is a function. sin(0) represents the value 0 and sin(1) represents the value 0.841471. Functions can be used anywhere a number or constant can be used, in queries, predicates and rules. For instance, if the fact p(0). is in your program, the query ?- p(sin(0)). will unify with it.

The following common mathematical functions are built in to most Prolog implementations:

(table to be completed)

Note that functions themselves cannot be evaluated. the query '''?- sin(3). ''' will fail because sin is implemented as function and not as a predicate.

One difference between functions and predicates is that the meaning (or definition) of a predicate is usually defined by you, in your program. When you use functions like sin, they've already been defined in your prolog implementation. In other words, prolog will not find the definition in your program, but in it's library of built-in predicates. It is possible to create your own functions, but that's something you will usually not need.

Equality
There are several kinds of equality, with slightly different meanings. Here we will just look at the = operator and the is operator. First, look at:

?- A is 36/5.

This query assigns the result of mathematical operation 36/5 to the variable A. So Prolog will answer:

A = 7.2

This idea may be familiar from other programming languages. The = operator, however, is very different. It doesn't solve the right-hand side, but instead keeps it as a formula. So you get this:

?- A = 36/5. A = 36/5

Instead of assigning the result of the operation to the variable A, prolog assigns the operation to A, without evaluating it.

You can see the same thing with queries. If you ask

?- (31 is (36-5)).

You'll get "Yes", because the (36-5) is evaluated (solved). But if you ask

?- (31 = (36-5)).

You'll get "No", because Prolog will compare a number (31) to a formula (36-5), rather than to the result of solving the formula.

The is operator is meant specifically for mathematical functions. The left argument has to be a variable and the right argument has to be a mathematical function with all variables instantiated. The = operator is used for unification of variables and can be used with any two arguments (although it will fail if the two arguments aren't the same and can't be made the same by instantiating variables a certain way).

Prolog knows many other ways of comparing two terms or instantiating variables, but for now, these two will suffice. When working with functions, we will almost always use the is operator.

Math
Now that we know about functions and equality, we can start programming with math.

plus(A, B, C) :- C is A + B.

This predicate adds two numbers (A and B), and unifies the result with C. The following program is somewhat more complex.

fac(0,1). fac(A,B) :- A > 0, Ax is A - 1, fac(Ax,Bx), B is A * Bx.

This program calculates the factorial of A (A! in math notation).

It works recursively. The first rule states that the factorial of 0 is 1. The second states that the factorial of a number A greater than 0 is the factorial of A-1 times A.

Exercises
(1) What will prolog answer to the following queries (on an empty database)? Try to think of the answer yourself, and then use a prolog compiler to verify it.
 * ?- X = 1 + 2 + 3.
 * ?- X is 100/10.
 * ?- X is (14 + 16)/3, X + 3 = Y.
 * ?- X = 1000/100 + 5, Y is X.

(2) Write a predicate called sigma, such that sigma(A,B,N) is true when N=A+(A+1)+(A+2)+...+(B-2)+(B-1)+B. In other words, $$\sum_{i=A}^B i = N$$. You may assume that A and B are integers with B>A. Test your predicate with queries such as:

?- sigma(4,9,X). X = 39 ; fail. ?- sigma(-7,-2,X). X = -27 ; fail. ?- sigma(-5,5,X). X = 0 ; fail.

(3) The factorial program shown at the end of this chapter sins against one of the guidelines of using recursive rules. In the second rule:

fac(A,B) :- A > 0, Ax is A - 1, fac(Ax,Bx), B is A * Bx.

The recursive part is not the last predicate in the rule.

 * Show how prolog evaluates the query ?- fac(3, X). and explain why the program is set up like this.
 * Explain why the line A > 0 is necessary. What would prolog do after it had found an answer, if the line was missing?

Answers to Exercises
(1) ?- X = 1 + 2 + 3. X = 1 + 2 + 3. ?- X is 100/10. X = 10.

?- X is (14 + 16)/3, X + 3 = Y.     X = 10. Y = 10 + 3.

?- X = 1000/100 + 5, Y is X.     X = Y, Y = 15.

(2) As usual, there is more than one way to solve this problem. Here's one way which uses recursion in a similar way to the factorial predicate.

sigma(A,A,A). sigma(A,B,N) :- B>A, %What do you think would happen if you removed this line? Try it. Why does this happen? A1 is A+1, sigma(A1,B,N1), N is A+N1.

Tail Recursive way: sigma(A,B,N):- add_1(A,B, A, N).

add_1(B,B,N,N).

add_1(A,B,Count,N):- B > A,   A1 is A + 1, Count1 is Count + A1, add_1(A1, B, Count1, N).

Walt Jocketty

Walt Jocketty (born February 19, 1951) is an American baseball executive who is the Executive Adviser to the CEO of the Cincinnati Reds. Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, he attended the University of Minnesota where he earned a bachelor's degree in business administration. He was the General Manager of the St. Louis Cardinals from October 14, 1994 until October 3, 2007.

Oakland and Colorado
Jocketty began working for the Oakland Athletics beginning in March 1980, when he was hired by owner Charlie Finley as Director of Minor League Operations and Scouting. It was in this capacity that Jocketty took a lead role in overhauling the A's minor league system, and was also instrumental in founding the Arizona Rookie League and the Dominican Summer League. Less than five years into his time with Oakland, Jocketty was promoted to Director of Baseball Administration, a post he held the remainder of his time in Oakland. During the 1994 season Jocketty served the Colorado Rockies for a brief stint as their assistant general manager of player personnel.

St. Louis Cardinals
Walt Jocketty was hired as general manager of the St. Louis Cardinals on October 14, 1994. When Anheuser-Busch sold the team following the 1995 season, the new ownership chose to retain Jocketty. He was instrumental in bringing new manager Tony La Russa, whom he had worked with in Oakland, to St. Louis.

During his time as Cardinal GM, the Cardinals compiled seven National League Central Division championships (1996, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006), two National League Championships (2004 and 2006), and one World Series Championship (2006). The Cardinals had seven straight winning seasons under Jocketty, including 100+ win seasons in 2004 and 2005. Jocketty has been named the Executive of the Year in MLB three times, in 2000, 2004, & 2010.

Jocketty was fired by the Cardinals organization on October 3, 2007. Team owner Bill DeWitt cited divisiveness in the baseball operations front office as the reason for Jocketty's dismissal.

Cincinnati Reds
Jocketty was hired as a Special Adviser to the Cincinnati Reds on January 11, 2008. Jocketty's role was to advise and assist the team in their baseball operations which includes the front office, personnel, scouting, minor and international operations and training and medical services. He was named the next general manager of the Reds after Wayne Krivsky was fired April 23, 2008.

After the 2010 season, Jocketty was named Sporting News Executive Of Year.

After the 2015 season, he was named to the new position of president of baseball operations.

On December 27, 2016, he was named executive advisor to the CEO.
