Section I: Science of Being

What Is Being?

...

Being, the Essential Constituent of Creation

Physical science informs us that the whole of creation is built up of layers of energy, one inside the other. The subtlest is at the innermost stratum of creation and builds up around itself different qualities, becoming bigger and bigger.

...

There was a time when physics declared the indestructibility of matter because the atom, which was thought to be the subtlest part of matter, was thought to be indestructible....

...

The Purpose of Life

Expansion of happiness is the purpose of life, and evolution is the process by which it is fulfilled. Life begins in a natural way, it evolves, and happiness expands. The expansion of happiness carries with it the growth of intelligence, power, creativity and everything that may be said to be of significance in life.

The purpose of individual life is also the purpose of the life of the entire cosmos. The purpose of creation is the expansion of happiness which is fulfilled through the process of cosmic evolution. The significance and purpose of individual life is the same as that of the life of the cosmos. The difference lies in the scale.

The individual life is the basic unit of the life of the cosmos. Evolution of the cosmos is basically served by the evolution the individual life. Thus, if the purpose of individual life is served, the purpose of cosmic life is also served spontaneously and simultaneously to that degree and on that scale.

If one has fulfilled the purpose of his own life, he has done his best to help the cosmic purpose.

If one is not happy, one has lost the very purpose of life. If one is not constantly developing his intelligence, power, creativity, peace, and happiness, then he has lost the very purpose of life. Life is not meant to be lived in dullness, idleness, and suffering; these do not belong to the essential nature of life.

Life is dynamic, not static. It is energetic, progressing, evolving, developing through activity, and multiplying itself. The nature and purpose of life is progress, evolution, activity, and improvement.

Activity maintains the stream of evolution, and the physical vehicle that is responsible for activity is the nervous system of the individual. In species lower than man the nervous system is not so fully evolved and so the activity leading to evolution is on a much smaller scale. The activity of the lower species, while carrying out the process of evolution, does not produce a high degree of evolution. As the nervous system evolves, the rate of evolution increases.

Man's nervous system is the most highly evolved. Therefore, the scope of evolution of man is unlimited in this life. We note how, when a child is born, his intelligence, power, and creativity are low, but as he grows he indulges in the field of activity where his power is great, his intelligence is great, his creativity is great, and the degree of happiness which he experiences in himself and projects outside himself is great. The nervous system is developed to the extent that through proper activity (the revelation of which is the purpose of this book) the man can contact absolute bliss, creativity, intelligence, power, and energy.

To live a life of freedom is the purpose of life in the human species. If one is not able to live such a life, the very purpose of life is blurred. Man is born to live a perfect life holding within its range all values of the transcendental absolute divine of unlimited energy, intelligence, power, peace and bliss along with the unlimited values of the world of multiplicity in relative existence. He is born to project the abundance of the absolute state of life into the world of relative existence.

Man's life is meant to be a bridge of abundance between divine intelligence and the whole of creation. Man's life is to cultivate and give--cultivate the divine power, intelligence, happiness and abundance, and give it out to all of creation. This is the high purpose of the life of man, and it is fortunate to find that every man is capable of reaching this by improving the conscious capacity of his mind and consciously contacting the field of the absolute energy, peace, happiness, and abundance of the eternal, divine consciousness.

Every man is capable of spreading the divine splendor in the whole creation. He is able to project all values of the absolute into the world of relative existence for all creatures to enjoy and to glorify the entire creation of God. Each man is capable of living a life of full values. If one fails to live it, it is a disgrace to oneself, and it abuses the glory of almighty God within and above us.

Here is an invitation for every man on earth to start picking up the divine consciousness of the absolute, and, bringing it through all his activity into the world of variety, enjoy it himself and project it for all others to enjoy as well.

A man projecting himself out in the world through a limited mind is not able to appreciate the real purpose of life. With a small capacity of mind, he engages himself in doing little things of which he thinks in very limited terms. He can engage himself in very limited activity. He can create only a limited number of small things of limited value. The conscious mind of an ordinary man is so limited that he is not even able to enjoy life. He is found to be suffering for the most part on many levels of his life. This state of suffering is merely due to his not using his full potential.

By not using his full potential, man is not able to fulfill the purpose of his life. He is found suffering in many ways because he is not using the full conscious capacity of his mind; he is not using the great energy he carries within himself. He is not experiencing and expressing in his life the abundance of absolute bliss that he naturally possesses, the great absolute field of creativity and power that he has within himself. He is like a millionaire who has forgotten his wealth and status and who goes begging in the street and every moment feels the lack of money.

All suffering is due to not knowing a way to unfold the divine glory present within oneself. Lack of ... Not having the capacity for divine unfoldment, the ignorance of a technique for diving within oneself is responsible for the misery in life. Without divine consciousness, man is found lacking in energy, intelligence, and clear thinking. He is tired, tense and anxious.

This state of human existence and human intelligence have come to such a deplorable condition that from the field of psychology--the great science of the mind--it is found suggested that tension is necessary for creative intelligence. What a shame it is to believe that tension is necessary to improve life!

It is said that poets and artists have created their inspiring literature and art under tension. All such statements come from ignorance and from an inability to release tensions.

Our modern scientific age unfortunately is increasing in tension. The individual life seems to be growing in tension instead of growing in ease and comfort, even though material comforts certainly are increasing. This is only because the individuals have no way of improving their ability and efficiency through contact with the greater energy and intelligence that every man has within himself. It is only necessary to consciously contact that field of inner life and profit by it.

The man of today is blind to the purpose of life, not able to see that he is born to enjoy, create, and live a life useful to himself and others. He plunges into whatever activity lies ahead, working hard to put forth his best effort in that field. It is commendable to work hard for things; to be creative in any aspect of life is what man is here for. But when activity increases, a man often finds himself unable to cope with the increased pressure. His efficiency declines, or he does not find energy enough to cope with the increased activity. This is why tension and strain develop.

As a man engages in greater activity he should be able to produce more energy and greater intelligence within himself to deal with this increased activity. This he does not know how to do, and, therefore, he loses the entire purpose of life.

Normal Life

While dealing with ...

Section III: Art of Living

...

ART OF SPEAKING

The art of speaking obviously consists of: speaking with a minimum consumption of energy; speaking rightly; speaking harmoniously; speaking pleasingly; speaking powerfully; speaking usefully; speaking in such a manner that the speaker remains free from the binding influence of speech.

Now we shall discuss these one by one.

Speaking with a Minimum Consumption of Energy

...

Speaking Rightly

While dealing with "Right and Wrong", it will be made clear that a correct evaluation of right and wrong is found in its absolute value only on the plane of Being. Therefore, the art of speaking rightly necessarily has its basis in the plane of Being.

However, the basic considerations of the relative nature of the art of speaking involve the projected art of thinking; so all that is valid for the art of thinking is valid for the art of speech. Right speech has its basis in right thinking.

Speech is the expression of both the heart and mind together. Therefore, for the speech to be right, it is necessary that the man be right in his heart and mind.

Speech is the expression of one's state of evolution. One word from the mouth of a man reveals his inner quality. The softness of speech gives an expression to the culture of the heart, and the logic, imagination, or creativity expressed through the speech reveals the culture of his mind. A man could be screened for his whole state of evolution and development through one word of his speech.

Speech is a very delicate medium between the man and his surroundings. It is highly important for the well-being of the individual and his surroundings that all the people should cultivate the art of speech, because one wrong word spoken gives wrong impressions in the atmosphere. The man may change his attitude, his decision, or his course of behavior, but the word that has gone out of his mouth can never be withdrawn. The influence that he has created in the audience and in the atmosphere around him can never be withdrawn. Therefore, it is highly important that one should know the art of speech and should know how to speak rightly.

Speech is a projection of a thought, and, while the art of speech fundamentally lies in the art of thinking, it is much finer than the art of thinking itself, because every thought that arises in the mind need not be expressed as speech.

Take the example of a businessman who is sitting with a friend in the evening, when suddenly an idea comes to his mind regarding some matter that he had to speak to his manager about the next day. It would be very odd if he began to give expression to his thought right there. This is what is meant by the art of speech being much finer and thus a more advanced art than the art of thinking.

Speech has to be in keeping with the atmosphere. The thought and its expression as speech should be such that they are welcomed by the surroundings. Hundreds of words unsuitable to the atmosphere will prove futile against one word of value.

Thus the art of speaking rightly gains fulfillment in the art of thinking, together with the skill of proper expression suitable to the atmosphere. This, as has already been said, depends upon the man being right in his heart and mind, and this, as we have seen, is only possible by the infusion of Being into the nature of the mind, which is easily accomplished through the regular practice of Transcendental Meditation.

Speaking Harmoniously

...

Speaking Pleasingly

...

ART OF ACTION

There is a common proverb in India which says that ...

...

The Art of Performing Action to Yield Maximum Results

The art of performing action to yield the maximum results rests in two factors. ...

...

This is how, by due amount of performance of Transcendental Meditation, supplemented by the power of charity and virtuous deeds of helping others, the negative influence of the past karma can be counteracted in order to smooth the path of the present karma. And then the action will be performed without resistance or obstacles, yielding maximum results.

So, the formula for producing maximum results is not to mind the obstacles and negative influences trying to offer resistance to the performance of action. The doer should put himself in action and continue it until the desired results are achieved. The process of meditation, of bringing the conscious mind in tune with transcendental absolute eternal Being, which is the source of all life energy and intelligence, raises the standard of consciousness. When the standard of consciousness is raised, the action performed from that raised level of life energy and intelligence will certainly have an overriding influence over the karma of the past to produce maximum results.

This is how, by the power of present action or karma, destiny is improved. Herein lies the full meaning of the proverb, "Man is a master of his own destiny."

The Art of Performing an Action So That the Performance Remains a Joy and Does not Become Tiring, Tedious, or a Boring Task

The process of any action will remain joyful for the doer and for the surroundings only when the doer has very great energy and intelligence and he encounters no resistance on the way and receives all cooperation from everywhere. ...

...

ART OF BEHAVIOR

...

Really good behavior will be possible when the minds of both the parties are broadened, when they are able to see the whole situation, understand each other more thoroughly in their true perspectives, and succeed in locating the needs of the other and formulating their behavior on the basis of attempting to fulfill these needs. This naturally necessitates a fully developed consciousness and right sense of judgment and all the qualities that only a strong and clear mind possesses.

Small minds always have a very narrow vision and they fail to perceive the total situation; in their narrow vision they create imaginary obstacles and close themselves in their narrow scope of imagined forms, which are neither useful to themselves nor to anyone else. Then their behavior towards others only results in misunderstanding and increase of tension. ... Transcendental Meditation.

...

Behavior and the Surroundings

...

PATHS TO GOD REALIZATION

The conception of the word path indicates ... and ending at another. The paths to God realization mean ... in order to reach God. To understand ... and how far he is from man.

God

God is the most ...

...

God is found in two phases of reality: as a supreme Being of absolute eternal nature, and as a personal God at the top of phenomenal creation. Thus, God has two aspects, the personal and the impersonal. They are the two realities of the word God.

Impersonal Aspect Of God

...

The impersonal God is that Being which dwells in the heart of everyone. Each individual in his true nature is the Impersonal God. That is why the Vedic philosophy of the Upanishads declares: "I am That, thou art That, and all this is That". No one need be afraid of his own Self, no one need be afraid of the result of bliss, no one need be afraid of the kingdom of heaven, where there is all bliss and fulfillment.

The God almighty, impersonal unmanifested Being, is the eternal reality of life. It is imperishable, It is abundance, It is life, It is fulfillment. It is at hand for anyone to realize It. One has only to be, and the technique to be lies in Transcendental Meditation.

Personal Aspect Of God

Ambassador Hotel (Tulsa, Oklahoma)

General Patrick Hurley opened the Ambassador Hotel in 1929, intending it to be a luxury "extended stay" residence for Tulsa businessmen (mostly oil business top executives), who were building mansions that were not yet ready for occupancy. Hurley never stayed in the hotel he founded. He moved to Washington, D. C. in March 1929, after President Herbert Hoover chose him to be Secretary of War, after the death of the previous Secretary, who died in December 1929. Hurley never returned to Tulsa.

The hotel business in Tulsa cooled with the onset of the Great Depression. The building had a succession of owners and uses after the Great Depression, and was vacant for more than a decade at the end of the 20th century. An investment group bought the property in 1999, and spent heavily on restoration before reopening it as a boutique hotel, a niche market it continues to occupy. In 2014, the Ambassador agreed to rebrand itself as part of the Autograph Collection Hotels of Marriott International.

History
Hurley had retained N. E. Peters as architect and Webb L. Elson as builder in 1928.

Delbert Development Company, a subsidiary of Kewanee Oil Company, bought the building in 1960 and converted the Ambassador to a commercial-type apartment hotel. The Ambassador became housing for retired seniors after the oil business declined in Tulsa, and closed altogether in 1987. Real estate developer Paul Coury and a group of investors bought the building in 1999 and began a $5.5 million restoration. The owners reopened the facility as a boutique hotel. In October 2014, Ambassador Hotel became a part of the Autograph Hotel Collection by Marriott. The agreement allows the Ambassador to retain its own identity.

Building description
The hotel building currently has 55 guest rooms and is located at the northwest corner of Main Street and 14th Street in Tulsa. It is included as a supporting item in the Riverview Historic District. Although the street address is given as 1324 South Main, the main entrance is actually on 14th Street, which runs along the south of the building. Constructed primarily of poured concrete columns and beams, it measures 120 feet by 40 feet in plan, It is 9 stories high and has a full basement. The ninth floor has a concrete slab ceiling. The building roof is flat and hidden from street view by a parapet. It was originally built on a wooden frame a few feet above the slab ceiling and was covered with asphalt. The frame was deteriorated beyond repair by 1999 and needed to be replaced. The replacement was to have a light steel frame.

The exterior of the building is covered with brick. It is decorated with limestone quoins and polychrome terra cotta ornaments. A limestone belt at the second floor level runs around the building on three sides (east, south and west) and the eastern bay of the north side. The belt is decorated with an acanthus leaf pattern. The second floor window sills are integral with the belt. Windows on the ninth floor have surrounds of limestone with arches above them. The south elevation has a continuous cornice of limestone.

NRHP listing
The Ambassador Hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on November 17, 1999, under Criterion C. According to the NRHP application, the Ambassador is "...the best remaining example of a large, multi-story Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival building designed for domestic use in the Tulsa downtown area".

Irving Kanarek

Irving Allan Kanarek (May 12, 1920 – September 2, 2020) was an aerospace engineer and a criminal defense attorney, best known for representing defendants such as Charles Manson and Jimmy Lee Smith.

Background
Kanarek was born in Seattle. His first career was as an aerospace engineer working for North American Aviation (NAA), where he invented a corrosion inhibitor for Inhibited Red Fuming Nitric Acid for the Army's Project Nike.

In 1954, while employed as a chemical engineer for North American Aviation, Kanarek had his security clearance revoked by the Air Force on suspicion of communist associations. He successfully sued for reinstatement of the clearance and back pay. He attended the University of Washington as an undergraduate and later Loyola Law School. He was admitted to the California Bar in 1957. He married, fathered two daughters, and later divorced.

A mental breakdown in 1989 led the Bar to suspend his law license.

Legal tactics
According to Tate-LaBianca prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi, Kanarek was legendary in Los Angeles courts for his dilatory, obstructionist tactics. In his book, Helter Skelter, Bugliosi claimed Kanarek, in a different case, had once objected to a witness identifying himself: Kanarek claimed that the witness's name was hearsay because the witness had first heard it from his mother.

In the Tate-LaBianca trial, Kanarek objected nine times during opening statements, despite continuous censure by Judge Charles Older. During a later objection, he called witness Linda Kasabian insane, and by the third day of the trial, he had objected more than 200 times. Bugliosi, also wrote of Kanarek as opposing counsel during the Manson case saying: "The press focused on his bombast and missed his effectiveness. He fought as if he were personally on trial." During the course of the trial he was jailed twice by Judge Older for contempt of court. In his summation, Bugliosi dubbed Kanarek "the Toscanini of Tedium".

Kanarek believed fiercely in the constitutional right to counsel, and that everyone was entitled to their day in court. He said: "I would defend a client who I knew was guilty of horrific crimes. They have to be proved guilty. I've had cases where people were guilty as hell but they couldn't prove it. And if they can't prove it, he's not guilty. In that case, the person walks free. That's American justice."

Later life and death
Throughout his later life, Kanarek lived in Orange County, California.

Legacy
In November 2008, a stage play premiered at Caltech in Pasadena, California, entitled Rocket Girl, about the life of Mary Sherman Morgan, a former co-worker of Kanarek at North American Aviation. The play was written by her son, George D. Morgan. The character of Kanarek appears throughout most of the play. The play was later turned into a book of the same name.

Death
He died at 100 on September 2, 2020.

Talk:Operation Magic Carpet (Yemen)

=
Hello, why is my sourced information about the Yemenite babies, specifically that a reputable author wrote in a reputable publication that the babies had died and been autopsied, being replaced with an unsourced claim about DNA testing? Judy Somerville (talk) 14:28, 20 January 2020 (UTC) Judy Somerville

Questions
Some problems here. Palestine Post of Mar 6, 1949 says "Magic Carpet winds up" referring to 4,500 Yemenites being brought to Israel over 3 months. The first mention was on Feb 22, 1949. This pre-dates the start of the operation given on this page. Of course there were two larger groups brought later, but even for those "secret operation that was not made public until several months after it was over" is not true. The intention to bring them was reported on April 8, 1949, and progress reports made regularly over the following months. On Nov 8, 1949 there's a report of a larger airlift in progress (this is worth reading for the patronising tone, as if speaking about savages: "In Israel they sleep at first under the beds provided for them, for they do not understand the purpose of a bed"). These reports are notable in that they don't say that the Yemenites were escaping (as is the usual description given today). It is rather said that Israel "fulfils the dream" of the Yemenites and so on. Palestine Post is searchable at. --Zerotalk 13:23, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

The statement "Many of the newly births where kidnaped by authorities and sold for aduption" is in the current text. This sentence has a couple problems, first off the grammar and spelling are atrocious. Secondly, what the heck is it talking about? Whose births? What authorities? Pmw2cc (talk) 21:41, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Most of them had never seen an aircraft before.
This common claim is completely unbelievable. It may be that they had never seen an aircraft up close before, but aircraft had been in the skies for several decades. I expect that it is an myth made plausible only by the patronising (some might say racist) way these people were seen by the "civilised" Westerners and Israelis. --Zerotalk 04:16, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps you should do research before you assert that the above claim is a myth. If you speak with any of the individuals who were flown as part of this operation (as I, in fact, have) they will certainly corroborate it. It seems it is not the westerners or Israelis who are the racists...Followandpersue (talk) 12:23, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

 * And indeed, Tudor Parfitt's book on this subject confirms what I suspected, that this story is a myth and aircraft had been in the skies of Yemen for some time. The Imam even had two of his own. Zerotalk 01:37, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Missing section/info
Hello there is a huge gap of information here, a critism section, the operation was marred by accusations that the israeli government systematically ripped religion from the yemenites after they came,. this was an issue that divided jewish society as a whole back then with strong views being expressed - and still being expressed - by both sides. Some consider it as the first major split - at least publicly - by the overall right - wing orthodox section of Jews to the israeli zionist government. It was a major issue that shouldn't be ignored in a reliable encyclopedia... there is a famous book written about it but i forget what it is named... i have it at home :-) maybe when i can b bothered...--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:11, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

An Alaska Airlines page about their role: http://www.alaskaair.com/as/www2/company/History/MagicCarpet.asp - I'm not good enough at editing Wiki to fix it up properly into the page, but it's a lead for someone who wants to try their hand at it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:06, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

The claims in this Haaretz story are similar to what appears in the book of Tudor Parfitt. Zerotalk 12:04, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Photographs
I am writing from the JDC archives and have curated a number of items related to Operation Magic Carpet. Among them are a set of photographs from the operation This link refers Would this be a beneficial contribution for the page? Archivist123 (talk) 16:21, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

 * The simple answer is "Yes"
 * The more complex answer depends on the licencing of the photographs. Can we use them here freely? May they be uploaded, ideally to Commons, otherwise to Wikipedia?
 * Ok, not a 100% helpful answer, but answer it is :) Fiddle Faddle (talk) 16:39, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

 * A little research at https://request.archives.jdc.org/PhotoOrder/FormPhotoOrder.aspx suggests that each photograph needs a full release for use here. You may know differently. WP:Copyright will be helpful to you I think. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 16:42, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

 * You raise a good point regarding licensing for the photographs. I wonder if inserting a link to the photographs already made available by the JDC archives via their website would be acceptable. But I don't know exactly where this would fit into the entry - as an external link? As a citation? A citation within the article seems dubious though. Let me contact the appropriate person at the archives and see what response I get regarding their use on Wikipedia. Archivist123 (talk) 16:30, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

 * The info on copyright here shows that they could make a full release, if they choose. They do have to understand that this means that any pictures selected will have escaped into the wild. This means they may wish to, for example, release a limited resolution picture. It cannot be a picture that restricts rights (eg with a copyright symbol etc embedded). This is a thing to get right without rushing. A citation inside the article would look, I fear, like an attempt to link for resale, so is likely to be deprecated unless the picture is free to view and there is no solicitation to buy. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 17:06, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

 * I agree that a citation wouldn't be best given the potential problems in attempting to verify information with an image. The images are freely searchable through the JDC archives website, so anyone with an internet connection can access them, but permission must be granted to use take an image and use it for another purpose. This is the information that I have gathered. If I understand this correctly, posting an external link directly to the JDC archives collection of photos would be OK as it would provide access to the photos without taking them directly from the archives. I'll include the link I have in mind as a reference to this sentence. Is this an appropriate way of going about it? Archivist123 (talk) 15:28, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

 * I keep forgetting to include an edit summary. My apologies! Archivist123 (talk) 15:32, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Too much emphasis on one view of this operation
This article discusses mostly Meir-Glitzen et al.'s view on this operation. Therefore, it is unbalanced. LevelBasis (talk) 19:15, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Then add balancing sources, of quality.Nishidani (talk) 20:43, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I did. LevelBasis (talk) 01:07, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Moreover, in your version of the article, almost all of the article was claimed by Meir-Glitzen's view. That is higly unbalanced. LevelBasis (talk) 01:10, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

This is how the artcile looked before your large changes. That looks way more balanced.

In any case, mentioning Meir-Glitzen's views in one alinea should surely be enough. LevelBasis (talk) 01:12, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

I added some subsections to the article. Meir-Glitzen's view is mentioned in a whole alinea, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Magic_Carpet_%28Yemen%29#Critiques. That seems balanced to me. LevelBasis (talk) 01:20, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Meir-Glitzen's study is an important one and it is completely proper that it feature prominently. You can't just delete properly cited text you don't like.  We need to present the findings of modern scholarship, not just the official myths of the past.  Also in this category is Tudor Parfitt's book The Road to Redemption, which mostly agrees with Meir-Glitzen.  An older book that also has a lot of material based on primary sources is Segev's 1949—The FIrst Israelis. Zerotalk 02:18, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

 * The massive theft of property that occurred also needs to be added. Zerotalk 09:12, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * To be clear, I did not delete anything, I only summarized her findings -- that's a crucial difference.
 * In your version of the article the 1947 pogrom and other anti-Jewish violence thereafter was not even mentioned as a "reason for the exodus". That is highly POV.
 * In 'my' version both the pogroms and the possible economic/religious factors are mentioned.
 * LevelBasis (talk) 10:19, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Please also consider the Hebrew version of this article. This looks to be the most complete version of all of Wikipedia's articles on this subject. LevelBasis (talk) 10:45, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Nonsense. You deleted a substantial amount of impeccably sourced detail, taken from three authors, and now have done so twice (here and here). This is obvious edit-warring, employing subjective i.e. spurious grounds, and is tantamount to POV pushing. What you removed will be restored. If you do so again, your stay on the English wikipedia will be brief. Nishidani (talk) 11:48, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't see why the discussion as to be hostile like this. I summarized Meir-Glitzen's views; if needed I could do the same with the other author's views, but I thought they were highly similar to Meir-Glitzen's views.
 * As i said before, this is how the artcile looked before your large changes. Imho your changes are highly POV because they only discuss one view on this operation and don't even mention antisemitic violence as one of the reasons for the emigration. This is very unbalanced and does not match with any of the other Wiki-articles in other languages about this subject. So, can we agree to some version which includes all views, including the one from Meir-Glitzen et al?
 * LevelBasis (talk) 17:50, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The Hebrew article is better than this one, but only because this one is very poor. For example someone called LevelBasis keeps inserting some stuff based on the ignorant belief that Aden was in Yemen.  Why is that?  Zerotalk 12:32, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Again, I don't see why the discussion as to be this hostile. The Hebrew version does not mention Meir-Glitzen research at all by the way.
 * I am aware that Aden was part of the British mandate area during a time. If I suggest otherwise somewhere, please point out where, then it can be changed. LevelBasis (talk) 17:50, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Hostile editing consists in making a summary assertion on a talk page, then proceeding to delete solid unchallenged quality sources and extensive sections, and, in the face of strong objections by two long established editors, persist in mass deletion of the material the other two defend as proper additions to the article. We are not using the Hebrew wiki page as a source, but compiling this according to English sources of high quality, according to the standards norms. Don't abuse the patience of other editors or persist in pretending not to understand their legitimate objections to your suppression of text. Nishidani (talk) 22:28, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * These are all non-arguments based on a suposed authority of you and your buddy Zero0000 which does not even match your actual history which shows that you both have a clear POV regarding this subject. So please, let's stop this discusion and start a version of this article we can both live with. LevelBasis (talk) 10:04, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The paragraph you keep inserting tries to give the impression that the Yemeni Jews wanted to leave Yemen on account of previous violence in a different country. It is stupid and must be changed.  So far you have not contributed in a positive way.  You haven't brought any sources. You haven't argued against any source except to say you don't like it.  All you did was slash and burn.  That is not proper behavior.  Zerotalk 22:55, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * That is surely one factor that led to their emigration. I have btw added several sources, so please do get your facts straight. Please also see the proposal below. LevelBasis (talk) 10:04, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

A version that includes all views on this operation
Could we please agree on some version of this article that includes ALL views on this operation and not just one? Just to be clear: that includes also the views of Meir-Glitzen et al.

We could, alternatively, also translate the Hebrew version of this article into English.

Which option do you prefer? LevelBasis (talk) 10:04, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

 * I prefer that you go away so that filing a complaint against you isn't necessary. The only things you added to this article are not actually about the topic of the article.  As well as that you mass-deleted properly cited material.  When I added a summary from one of the foremost historians of the 1948-9 events, you delete it without any explanation. This proves you are not honest about including all views.  This sort of behavior can't be tolerated. Zerotalk 10:38, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Btw, it is Meir-Glitzenstein, not Meir-Glitzen. Zerotalk 10:39, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * If you want people who don't share your POV to "go away", then you should start your own website.
 * Anyway, are you or are you not willing to consider a version that includes all views on this operation or to translate the Hebrew version of this article? Imho both are reasonable options which would improve the quality of this article. LevelBasis (talk) 13:33, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I for one will consider any material, properly sourced, from any collaborative editor, who understands wiki is a collegial workshop. You suffer from WP:IDONTLIKETHAT, WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT that is quickly deteriorating, since you consistently remove whatever you dislike, against the advice of others, into WP:OWN. Do it again, and you will be reported and suspended.Nishidani (talk) 15:02, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * First your wiki-friend Zero told me to "go away" and now you tell me I will be "suspended" if I don't act on your will? I think you two are faslely thinking you own Wikipedia.
 * Anyway, I added sources for which your rightfully requested.
 * However, Meir-Glitzenstein et al.'s views are still overpresented. In the Hebrew version of this article they are not mentioned at all, and here they fill almost the whole article. I asked you several times to join forces with me to make this article one which we both can agree with and I will ask you again: are you willing or are you not? LevelBasis (talk) 17:43, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I summarized all views -- without deleting even one source --, so that the article is more balanced and does not primarily disucces one point of view. Can we both agree on this version of the article? LevelBasis (talk) 17:51, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

 * I have no faith in your ability to produce a balanced article. The evidence so far suggests the opposite. Zerotalk 23:16, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * That's why I offered to join forces and work together; so you can balance my POV and I can balance yours. LevelBasis (talk) 17:19, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Another problem is that the material from 1959 onwards is not relevant. There is another article about Yemeni Jews where modern material is appropriate, but this article is about a particular operation in the 1948+ timeframe. Zerotalk 23:16, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * In the same way it is relevant what happend before the operation, it is also relevant what happened afterwards. It provides informative context. LevelBasis (talk) 17:19, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

The Jewish community in Yemen after the operation section
"At present time,[when?] a total of some 250 Jews still live in Yemen.[13][14] Nowadays,[when?] only approximately 300 Jews still live in Yemen, dispersed in three communities,"

These 2 sentences contradict each other. Which is correct? Dstern1 (talk) 20:30, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Translation of the name
@Filozoficzny "נשר" means vulture, "עיט" means egale, i know what i speaks about i am a native hebrew speaker Multiverse Union (talk) 05:51, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
 * נשר can also mean eagle and in this context it is always translated as eagle, in line with the usual translation of the biblical passages the name of the operation comes from. Zerotalk 08:18, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Vila do Bispo

Vila do Bispo is a municipality (concelho) in the Portuguese Algarve. It has 5,717 inhabitants in an area of 179.06 km2.

History
The first references to this region referred to the Aldeia do Bispo in the 14th century, in a charter dated 27 March 1329, and later, in 1353, a royal charter that promulgated the addition of the "locality that is called Bispo, which is in the Cape of Saint Vincent...", into the bishopric and domain/jurisdiction of Silves Municipality. This version of the circumstances would be contradicted throughout history. Lopes Silva (1841) indicated that the village of Bispo, later Vila do Bispo, arrived from the donation of the Aldeia de Santa Maria do Cabo by King Manuel to Bishop Fernando Coutinho. There is an assumption that this settlement, donated in 1515, became known as the Town of the Bishop, but the reality refers to several letters in 1329 and 1353, suggesting that the Aldeia do Bispo existed in the 14th century. In fact, Aldeia de Santa Maria do Cabo and Aldeia do Bispo were two distinct localities.

Another centre in Vila do Bispo was the locality of Nossa Senhora da Graça, which was mentioned in a royal charter issued by King Ferdinand, was situated south of the hermitage of Guadalupe, in the locality of Alto da Senhora da Graça, where the archaeological station of Veiga found vestiges of an extinct settlement, of Muslim origin, that were posterior the medieval Christian settlement. Near this area are toponymic references to Zavial and the strategic Alto da Senhora da Graça, where, in Ponta da Torre there exists remnants identifying the regions importance. It is assumed that during the Reconquista (around 1248) this area was a difficult battleground for the Christians, who likely invoked the "Virgin" for protection during their bloody battles. After their victory the settlement began to be referred to as the Aldeia da Graça (or Nossa Senhora da Graça) for the grace the obtained in the conquest of these lands. It is likely that the settlement was depopulated following the outbreak of the Black Death (around 1348), even as two-thirds of the population was infected.

Another important centre was founded on 19 September 1460 by Infante Henry the Navigator, where he wrote: "...I order the construction of a town at the other cape before the cape of Sagres, from the west...that I named town of the Infante". This interpretation has been controversial, owing to the particular reference to "before", which historians have difficulty in realizing. Friar Rosa Viterbo (1744/1822) in the Elucidário suggests that in the old Portuguese, it meant "forth, before or in the presence. It is very much used in the 13th century and following". Henry's words were that the town was situated "forth, before, in the presence" of the Cape of Sagres, in a place called "terça naball" (an old shed of Muslim origin), where he named it Vila do Infante. The Associação de Defesa do Património Histórico e Arqueológico de Vila do Bispo (Vila do Bispo Association for the Defense of Patrimony and Archaeology), which excavated and examined the region, the archaeological remnants of the last building near the Sagres coast is located in the area called Catalão in Sagres. Although these references match the documented proofs, there is still some discrepancy in assuming that the town was built so easily, even as the coast was an active front piracy and lacked potable water. It was a Portuguese, Fernão Mendes Pinto, who claimed to be the first European to set foot in Japan, reaching Tanegashima in 1543.

Aldeia do Bispo situated initially farther east of the current settlement, from the writings of Father Luís Cardoso, in the 18th century. The author mentioned that the parochial church existed outside the settlement, and the Aldeia de Santa Maria do Cabo (today extinct) was situated in the Curraes da Granja. Bishop Fernando Coutinho (master of Aldeia do Bispo) received the donation from King Manuel, of the Aldeia de Santa Maria do Cabo and integrated ito into the perimeter of Aldeia do Bispo. It was probably the privateer Francis Drake who was, later, responsible for the destruction of Aldeia de Santa Maria do Cabo.

Vila do Bispo has only been a municipality for a recent period. Separated from the municipality of Lagos, since the reign of King Afonso VI (around 1640), when it included the parishes of Barão de S. Miguel, Bordeira, Budens, Carrapateira, Raposeira, Vila do Bispo and Sagres (which was later carved from the municipality in 1519, and functioned as its own municipality until 1834).

Extinguished in 1855, the region was reintegrated into Lagos. But, six years later, as a consequence of Liberal reforms, it was reincorporated in September 1861, with many of the same parishes, except Bordeira and Carrapateira (which were abolished in 1849, integrated into the municipality of Aljezur in 1849). The municipality was, once again, abolished in August 1895, and reincorporated in January 1898.

In Sagres (which was a municipality until 1834) a coat-of-arms over the Fortress of Sagres was erected, ordered by the Viscount of Sá da Bandeira in 1839, then Minister of Marine Affairs (Ministro dos Negócios da Marinha). This coat-of-arms included the arms of Infante Henry the Navigator, an armillary sphere and a ship with sails, under a Latin and Portuguese inscription.

In honour of the first claimant to land in Japan, and owing to recognition of twinning with Nishinoomote on the island of Tanegashima, the main square in Vila do Bispo was renamed Praça de Tanegashima.

Geography
Situated in the extreme southwest corner of Portugal (and also continental Europe), the municipality of Vila do Bispo is located within the Barlavento Algarvio, the southwestern Algarvean coast, surrounded on its southern and western frontiers by the Atlantic Ocean. Part of Faro District, the municipality is bordered in the north by Aljezur (linked by the Estrada Nacional EN120 and Estrada Regional ER268), and to the east by Lagos (across the ''Estrada Nacional EN125).

Due to its geographical location, it is the only municipality in the country with a western and southern coastline. The southern coast, which extends until Cape St. Vincent, includes several bays and sheltered coves, including: the beaches of Praia do Burgau, Cabanas Velhas, Boca do Rio, Praia da Salema, Figueira, Furnas, Zavial, Ingrina, Barranco, Martinhal, Mareta, Tonel and Beliche. Meanwhile, to the west of the St. Vincent coast are the beaches of Telheiro, Ponta Ruiva, Castelejo, Cordoama, Barriga and Murração, that include many carved cliffs and rocky promontories.

Climate
Vila do Bispo has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csb) with warm to hot, dry summers and mild to very mild, wet winters. Vila do Bispo frequently experiences sunny conditions, averaging over 3100 hours of sunshine and, along with Faro, has the highest radiation in continental Portugal. Temperatures are often strongly moderated year-round by the onshore winds from the Atlantic Ocean and seldom are extremes of heat or cold experienced, consequence of the strong upwelling that the adjacent seas experience during the summer. Summers are often warm and very sunny, averaging a high of 25 C and a low of 17 - 18 C. Winters are mild, especially at night with temperatures averaging 15 - 17 C during the day and 9 - 11 C at night. The parish has never registered a temperature above 40 C or below 1 C. The municipality also has the lowest heating degree days (lowest demand for heaters) out of any populated place in Europe.

The wettest months of the year are November and December.

Human geography
Administratively, the municipality is divided into 4 civil parishes (freguesias):
 * Barão de São Miguel
 * Budens
 * Sagres
 * Vila do Bispo e Raposeira

In addition, there are several urban agglomerations (villages) that dot the landscape of the municipality in addition to the urban seats of the civil parishes, including:
 * Burgau
 * Salema
 * Vale de Boi
 * Budens

Menhirs
The municipality of Vila do Bispo has the most important concentration of menhirs in the entire Algarve. With a known number of around 300 exemplars. They are mostly made of white limestone, whose brightness makes them an element that stands out in the landscape, and three examples in sandstone are also known in the municipality. With sub-cylindrical, sub-conical, stellar or simple erect stones, the vast majority of menhirs are decorated.

The most common decorations in the menhirs of the municipality of Vila do Bispo are:

 * sets of 3 or 4 parallel wavy lines;
 * sets of segmented ellipses;
 * sets of non-segmented ellipses that extend from the top of the menhir to the base;
 * sets of semi-ellipses that organize around a cord at the top of the menhir (see photo). Its meaning is unknown

Despite the protection formally guaranteed by official entities for some menhirs, in practice the menhirs of Vila do Bispo remain exposed, on a daily basis, to a whole vandalism that mainly translates into their use for civil construction.

Twin towns — sister cities
Vila do Bispo is twinned with:
 * 🇪🇸 Baiona, Spain
 * 🇺🇸 Cape Canaveral, United States
 * 🇯🇵 Nishinoomote, Japan
 * 🇪🇸 Santa Fe, Spain

Economy
Close to the municipality of Lagos, starting from the small town of Burgau it belongs to a protected area that covers most of the westernmost part of Algarve (Barlavento Algarvio), so its beaches are famous for their perceived beauty. Owing to its natural conditions, this area of Algarve has been transformed into a tourist-oriented economy, with retirees and seniors buying or renting homes or condominimums along the coastal zones, including Parque da Floresta and Alma Verde.

Notable citizens

 * César Ferreira (1916 – ??) a footballer who played for Benfica as midfielder
 * Sousa Cintra (born 1944 in Raposeira) businessman, former chairman of Sporting Clube de Portugal
 * Iládio Amado (born 1976) a teacher of music education, an instrumentalist and a composer. He lives in Vila do Bispo

Talk:Real Aikido

Brand Name Advertisement
This Wiki page seems to be just an advertisement for and by the owner of a brand or trade named martial arts school or program or business named "Real Aikido", although it seems not recognized by aikido authorities. For what it is worth, "USMA Hall of Fame" is a working link to the induction entry for 'Instructor Vladimir Djordjevic' in 2002 (kept also for 2003 & 2004, but not since) for starting the "United States Center of Real Aikido" somewhere in Illinois.--Wikidity (talk) 03:32, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

User:Sabate
I don't really understand you. What do you mean when you say that I may not write about it?? Of course I can!

The fact is, YOU may not write about it! If you had read Wikipedia policies you would have seen that it is considered inappropriate if you write about yourself. So, it turns out I can write about it and you can't.

I didn't put this copyright violation notice, and I believe you that you are from the sites that hold the copied material, I know there is no problem. But, you need to understand that it is not enough just to come and say "Hey, it's OK, that is my site", you have to somehow prove it, you have to have some kind of an official permission to use the material, or prove that you yourself are the copyright holder of the text. Just saying "It's OK", won't work.

And even when you do settle the copyright issue, the article you put is not appropriate for a Wikipedia article, because it violates some Wikipedia policies and etiquette. As I already said, you can't write about yourself (or your organization), the article also contained POVs ("Point of View"). For example, if I remember correctly, it said that Real aikido is very flexible and efficient. That is a point of view! How can you prove it is like that, it doesn't mean anything.

I looked at the article about Vracarevic, and it is the same story... I think it is just copy/paste from wcra site (haven't had the time to check), bunch of POVs (Vracarevic great master, a child training program that "gives wonderful results" etc.) and so on... I'm sorry, but that is not how things can be written in an encyclopaedia article.

I guess What I wrote isn't perfect either (nothing ever is ;) ), but at least it is from an external party, and it tries to avoid POV.

I tried to explain in the article, why Aikikai doesn't want to recognize your "style". The bottom is that according to the true authorities, 'Real Aikido' IS NOT aikido. It is not just a different style of aikido, it is a completely different martial art! And since I'm on the talk page let me give you a bit of POV ;) {This is a non-sensical sentance, and should be corrected or removed, " - even worse reason is the constant insulting your soke is directing towards aikido."} What the hell does "real" aikido mean anyway?? Does it mean that regular aikido is somehow "imaginary" or what?? Depriving the art of aikido of it's philosophical part is not just incorrect from the side of facts, as I said in the article, but it is also considered a great insult to people that teach aikido and to O-sensei {?} himself. And the claim that you have some kind of support from Japanese senseis is an outright lie! If soke Vracarevic earned any respect in Japan 'Real Aikido' would be recognized by aikikai. In fact they are pissed off :).

Now, the bottom line is, it is not important if you have any recognition, if you think you are doing the right stuff then do it! But if you don't respect any of the principles of aikido laid down by O'sensei and his students why the hell do you call your art aikido?? Why must you confuse people? Is it because you enjoy the "commercial" appeal of the name "Aikido"? This is what aikikai finds unacceptable! No one has anything against your art, but please, don't call it aikido, because it is not.

You said it yourself, it it is a mixture of yoshinkan (by the way, aikikai is NOT a style of aikido, it is an organization of aikido that has many styles in it, just about every aikikai shihan has his own "style"), ju-justsu, aiki-jutsu and Vracarevic's own techniques. Now, I don't know about his techniques, but I know that ju-jutsu and aiki-jutsu are NOT aikido (similar in some way, but not aikido), so therefore, RA IS NOT AIKIDO!

And as for the article, I welcome you to take part in editing it and fix if I wrote something that is not true. This is the reason I marked it as a stub --- I don't feel that I know enough about the technical side of RA, and I wanted someone to fill it with more accurate data. Thanks!

And, Adil, and all the others that practice RA, please no hard feelings, it is not my intention to cause them!

--Sabate 00:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Controversy
This section needs to be re-worked. The primary reason for lack of recognition is a lack of verifiable and noteable lineage. There is too much variation in the Aikido world with respect to spirituality for that to be a reason and as for ethics - one really should give an example where "Real Aikido" teaches unethical behavior. We should aim for a NPOV.

Furthermore, exercises that are considered fundamental to aikido, such as breathing execises, are completely ignored in real aikido.

Again - what you consider fundamental I might not. It really depends on the style.

''What "adds fuel to the fire" is Vračarević's derogatory behavior towards "traditional" aikido he often expresses in the media and public in general. This often leads to a false image of aikido as an art that does not "work" in "real situations", which is not true because technical effectiveness of a martial art can not be determined a priori, but is a result of the situaion itself and the mastery of the individual that is applying a certain art. Therefore, we can imagine any martial art as both being effective and ineffective depending on a range of conditions. The claim of aikido uneffectiveness is further invalidated by the fact that most, if not all, schools of aikido conduct a thorough analysis of each technique from the standpoint of its offensive and defensive characteristics and capabilities.''

This is more of an appology for Aikido in general and frankly Vračarević's is on stronger ground here. I would keep the first sentence followed by something along the lines of This self-serving behaviour has led to bitter relationships with neighboring Aikido groups.Peter Rehse 03:04, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

This section needs to be re-worked. The primary reason for lack of recognition is a lack of verifiable and noteable lineage.

I would keep the first sentence followed by something along the lines of This self-serving behaviour has led to bitter relationships with neighboring Aikido groups

 * Yes, I agree. I myself wasn't pretty satisfied with the way this section turned out, but I wrote it in a rush and didn't really take care of details and principles. I will now try to rework it with these suggestions keeping it minimal. --Sabate 17:35, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

OK, I reworked the controversy section which now focuses on lineage. If you think it still needs some modification please feel free to make them so we can then move this page out of Temp.

I also edited the introduction a bit. After some inquiries it turns out it is not certain what special military and police forces he trained if any (on his sites some russian units are mentioned, but these claims can not be reliably confirmed). It is only certain that he took part in training Muammar al-Qaddafi's and Mugabe's and some other president's bodyguards. --Sabate 01:03, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

I asked the person who put the original copywrite notice in to replace it with the /temp version. I suggest we leave it as is and see what happens. I also mentioned the Vračarević entry and that I didn't know what tags were appropriate.Peter Rehse 02:18, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Real_Aikido/Temp article
The Real_Aikido/Temp article has now been moved to the main page and I have put in a request for deletion of the Temp article.Peter Rehse 11:14, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

I have written a new article on Real_Aikido/Temp. Instead of a bunch of POVs made in the first copyright-infringing article, I tried to explain what real aikido is and add a part that deals with the conflict on the line real aikido - aikikai community (serbian and international). --Sabate 04:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

thanks
Very thanks for it. If you written it thanks but you may not write about it. The copyrighted article which i placed was the article written about us. No problem.

I want to add little comment.

Real Aikidokas dont conflicts with any styles. Confilcts come from Aikikai federations :( They dont want to recognize our style. And i cant say that real aikido uses any judo technics. It`s not very correct.

Real Aikido based on Aikido aikikai, yoshinkan, jiu-jitsu and especially taked many technics from Aiki-Jitsu and modified. I must say that master Vracarevich showed us his own technics which he created himself.

--AdilAliev 09:51, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Ljubomir Vracarevich was graded by Hiroshi Tada, Kishomaru Ueshiba and 7 DAN he got from Shida Gozo.
 * Right - that has got to be proved. Especially the 7th Dan from Shioda.Peter Rehse 03:07, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

8,9,10 DAN he got from United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame

Notability
I just saw a YouTube video that shows Real Aikido people performing in France on what appears to be a mainstream TV program, similar to the many Tissier-sensei videos. I think this counts as objective evidence of notability, so I have been bold and removed the notability notice. Now, we really need some published statements about Real Aikido from Aikikai people or Yoshinkan people. Heroeswithmetaphors (talk) 05:41, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that deforms continuously when subjected to a tangential or shear stress, however small the shear stress may be. Such a continuous deformation under the stress constitutes a flow. Fluid mechanics is therefore the study of mechanics of such matter. As such, it pertains mostly to the study of liquids and gases, however the general theories may be applied to the study of amorphous solids, colloidal suspensions and gelatinous materials.

Fluid mechanics is a subdivision of continuum mechanics. Consequentially, fluids are considered continuous media for analysis, and their discrete nature is of no consequence for most applications. This assumption is valid mostly on length scales much larger than intramolecular distances. The departure from continuum is characterised by a dimensionless parameter, the Knudsen Number, defined by $$K_n = \lambda/L$$, where L is a characteristic length scale of the flow. The continuum hypothesis holds good if Kn < 0.01. However, recent applications in nanotechnology and biotechnology are demonstrating that the governing equations are still relevant on smaller scales, specifically when they are modified to include the effects of electrostatic, magnetic, colloidal and surface-tension driven forces.

Some fluid mechanics problems can be solved by applying conservation laws (mass, momentum, energy) of mechanics to a finite control volume. However, in general, it is necessary to apply those laws to an infinitesimal control volume, then use the resulting differential equations. Additionally, boundary values, initial conditions and thermodynamic state equations are generally necessary to obtain numeric or analytic solutions.

Brief History
Fluid interactions help fish in a school swim faster. The collective motion of a fish school results from every animal responding solely to the motion of it's neighbour. This is what happens to bird flocks, but unlike the birds, fish usually move in a liquid which may be a river, lake or fish pond. A group of researchers recently used computer simulations to explain the water flow that fish induce can have a substantial influence on the coordinated patterns that they do create. Schooling of fish, shown by nearly half of the known species of fish can take various forms (Hemelrijk et al., 2015). The group can just swarm together with no string degree of alignment, or the fish can swim in collectively oriented rings, streams, or balls. These particular motions are thought to help in avoiding predators as well as foraging. Use of Theoretical models can assist in understanding this by reproducing this fish schooling behaviour with no need for any large institution. They hold an assumption that every fish follows a simple “local “rules like aligning itself with the average orientation of the fish that are near it. Fish have the ability to sense fluid flow through the use of their lateral line. The lateral line is a series of tiny, hair-like sensory organs that are distributed evenly along the sides of the fish body (Ball, 2018). Also, each can enhance its swimming efficiency by swimming in the clip steam of another. But how and if these hydrodynamic effects impact the collective motion of fish schools has not been studied much by scholars and researchers. Christophe Eloy, a member of the “Ecole Centrale Marseille” in France and his colleagues, studied the effects of fluid dynamics through the use of virtual fish moving in dual dimensions (Hemelrijk et al., 2015). Similar to the preceding model, the researchers held an assumption that the fish attract each other and to orient themselves to a certain extent with others in their field of view. Again, they assume that there is a smooth flow, such that turbulent vortices in the wake are overlooked. Under these conditions or assumptions, the researchers found out that fish portray four different joint motion modes, which depend on the parameters of the rule of behavior. These include random and cohesive swarming; aligned, mainly swimming in a straight line or schooling; collective circle swimming or milling; and rapid, aligned swimming with a regular spontaneous turn or turning (Ball, 2018). The average speed of fish is higher with the fluid included. "Turning" resulted from noise or greater rotational randomness caused by hydrodynamic effects. What may appear to be a consequence of behavior, the fish's free will may actually be an outcome of fluid dynamics. This research can be furthered by relating the modelling results to an observation which are real.

Hello. According to the relevant guidelines at Manual of Style/Biography, "For people who are best known by a pseudonym, the legal name should usually appear first in the article, followed closely by the pseudonym". For example, on some biographical articles such as Dr. Ruth, Tim Allen, Busta Rhymes and so on, we use other permutations such as "known professionally as", "better known as", "better known by the stage name" and so on. Per WP:BRD, I'm opening up a discussion here to see what's the best way to format the names here. Thoughts? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 22:21, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

List of archaeological periods

The names for archaeological periods vary enormously from region to region. This is a list of the main divisions by continent and region. Dating also varies considerably and those given are broad approximations across wide areas.

The three-age system has been used in many areas, referring to the prehistorical and historical periods identified by tool manufacture and use, of Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. Since these ages are distinguished by the development of technology, it is natural that the dates to which these refer vary in different parts of the world. In many regions, the term Stone Age is no longer used, as it has been replaced by more specific geological periods. For some regions, there is need for an intermediate Chalcolithic period between the Stone Age and Bronze Age. For cultures where indigenous metal tools were in less widespread use, other classifications, such as the lithic stage, archaic stage and formative stage refer to the development of other types of technology and social organization.

Historical periods denotes periods of human development with the advantage of the development of writing. Written records tend to provide more socio-political insight into the dominant nations, and hence allow categorization according to the ruling empires and cultures, such as Hellenistic, Roman, Viking. Inevitably these definitions of periods only relate to the region of that empire or culture.

The Industrial age or Modern era is generally taken to refer to post-1800. From this time, the industrial revolution which began in Western Europe resulted in global trade and greatly increased cultural exchange.

Alice Lardé de Venturino

Alice Lardé de Venturino (29 June 1895 – 14 October 1983) was a Salvadoran poet and writer. Internationally recognized for her lyric poems, Lardé also published scientific works. She has been recognized by the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador and the government of Chile, both of whom have renamed public streets and offices in her name.

Early life
Alice Lardé Arthés was born on 29 June 1895 in San Salvador, El Salvador to Amalia Arthés Echeverría and Jorge Lardé Bourdon. Her father was of French heritage and was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, coming to El Salvador at the age of eleven in 1869. Her father was a chemical engineer and her mother was a teacher. Lardé was one of eight siblings: Jorge Lardé y Arthés, Coralie, Luis, Alice, Maria, Carlos, Enrique and Zelie, who grew up on a farm near Lake Ilopango. The family was well-to-do and the children had a privileged education. Her brother Jorge would become a noted geologist and seismologist, her brother Enrique was a writer and editor, and her sister Zélie would become a noted painter. Carlos became a surgeon and moved to the United States, where his daughter, Alicia became the spouse of Nobel Laureate, John Forbes Nash Jr.

Career
Lardé's first publications appeared in the Salvadoran magazine Espiral in 1919. The journal was edited by Miguel Ángel Chacón and her brother, Enrique and she collaborated with it through 1922. In 1921, she published her first volume of poetry, Pétalos del alma (Petals of the Soul) in San Salvador. On 16 July 1924, she married the Chilean sociologist, Agustín Venturino Poetry books followed, including Alma viril (Virile soul, 1925), Sangre del trópico (Blood of the Tropics, 1925) which were both published in Santiago. The couple soon moved to Buenos Aires, where she continued to write and publish for the newspaper Patria. While she was in Argentina, she served as a delegate for El Salvador to the Feminist Encounter, held in 1925. She also collaborated with Mexican newspapers, publishing in El Heraldo, Excélsior, and La Revista de Yucatán, among others. In 1927, Lardé was a delegate to the International Feminist Congress in Favor of Peace, held in Brazil. Fifty-six of her poems were included in volume 53 of the anthology Poesías: colección las mejores poesías (líricas) de los mejores poetas (Poetry: collection the best poetry (lyric) of the best women poets, 1926). It, like Belleza salvaje (Wild Beauty, 1927) and El nuevo mundo polar (The New Polar World, 1929) were published in Spain. Mexican poet and member of the Mexican Academy of Language, Juan B. Delgado compared Lardé's skill with words comparable to those of Gabriela Mistral or Alfonsina Storni.

In 1939, Lardé was recognized in Chile when both a library and a public school were named in her honor. From the 1940s, many of her publications included scientific works including: La dinámica terrestre y sus fenómenos inherentes (The terrestrial dynamics and its inherent phenomena, 1943), ¿Es la electricidad el origen de la vida y de la muerte? (Is electricity the origin of life and death?, 1943), Mi América: Odisea de un Colegial Salvadoreño a través de Centro y Sudamérica (My America: Odyssey of a Salvadoran Scholar through Central and South America, 1946), Fórmulas gráficas prácticas del vitaoculiscopio y oculivita (Practical graphic formulas of vitaoculiscope and oculivita, 1950), La Electricidad: Alma Mater Universal, Fenómenos Cosmológicos y Biopsicológicos, (Electricity: Universal Soul, Cosmological and Psychological Phenomena, 1954), La frigidez sexual de la mujer (The sexual frigidity of women, 1967), El Volumen Poético Antológico Grito al Sol, (The Anthological Poetry Volume Greetings to the Sun, 1983).

In November 1976, Lardé was honored by the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador and in 1979, she was honored by the Unión de Mujeres Americanas as the Woman of the Year.

Death and legacy
Lardé died on 13 October 1983 leaving around thirty unpublished manuscripts. In 1998, a postage stamp bearing her likeness was issued in a series Celebrating Women. In 2003, she was selected with a group of noted Salvadoran women as one of the names to be included in a street and park renaming project. The National Library of El Salvador hosted an exhibition, El legado literario de mujeres escritoras (The literary legacy of women writers) in 2016. The event featured the works of the three dominant Salvadoran poets of their era: Lardé, along with Prudencia Ayala and Josefina Peñate y Hernández.

Ananthu (screenwriter)

Ananthakrishnan, better known as Ananthu, was an Indian screenwriter working on Tamil language films, often collaborating with K. Balachander. He was the mentor of actor Kamal Haasan.

Early life
Ananthu was born as Ananthakrishnan at a village called Kandiramanickam near Karaikudi and Thirupathur. His father Thiruvengadam was working in South Indian Corporation. He studied B. S. C. chemistry. He worked as demonstrator at colleges and then later worked as clerk at A. G. S. Office where he met Balachander. He worked as dialogue writer for Balachander's plays while also participating in story discussions.

Career
Ananthu was a screenwriter and close associate of director K. Balachander. He also worked with director C. Rudraiah on his two films. In the title card, Rudhraiya had dedicated the film Aval Appadithan to Ananthu. Ananthu was sub-dialogue writer with Chitralaya Gopu for the films Anubhavam Pudhumai and Galatta Kalyanam directed by C. V. Rajendran. Ananthu acted in the film Galatta Kalyanam with Sivaji Ganesan and Jayalalitha after intermission.

In 1991, Ananthu directed Sigaram starring S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, Anand Babu, Radha and Ramya Krishnan. A critic noted "with an eye for realism and a talent for profound dialogue, Ananthu makes this a memorable entry into the annals of parallel cinema."

Work experience with Kamal Haasan
Ananthu was considered by Kamal Haasan as a close associate and mentor. Through Ananthu, Haasan was able to maintain close ties with K. Balachander.

In the early 1970s, Kamal Haasan had become jaded and suicidal with the monotonous, low-key roles that he was receiving from Tamil cinema. He later credited Ananthu for reinvigorating his interest in films, after taking up his suggestion of moving to work on Malayalam films. During the period, Ananthu continued to nurture Kamal Haasan's talent by evaluating his on-screen performances and by introducing him to world cinema. Haasan has also credited Ananthu for teaching him screenwriting.

Ananthu continued to work closely with Haasan for a number of his films in the 1990s through various capacities. He was behind the title of Nammavar, a term also later adapted by Kamal Haasan in his political activities.

Following Ananthu's death in 1998, Kamal Haasan's first Tamil directorial venture Hey Ram (2000) was dedicated to Ananthu. After winning the Henri Langlois award in 2016, Kamal Haasan dedicated the award to Ananthu. An official portrait of Ananthu was inaugurated in 2019 at Kamal Haasan's offices as a part of celebrations marking the actor's 60th year in the film industry.

TEDOM C 12

TEDOM C 12 is a low-floor urban bus produced from 2006 to 2012 by the now defunct bus manufacturing division of the company TEDOM from the Czech Republic. The company ceased bus production in 2012.

Construction features
Structurally model C 12 does not differ much from the previous bus TEDOM Kronos 123. It is an urban low-floor bus (floor height 340 mm above the ground). Frame chassis is welded thin-walled hollow sections of stainless steel. The cladding is formed from aluminum sheet faces the vehicle and the roof is made of fiberglass.

The manufacturer collaborated with the bus maker company SOR, giving them special tiles for interior and exterior of the vehicle. The interior is insulated by mats with aluminum foil. Toughened glass windows are glued to the body. Troy double doors on the right-side panel are electro controlled. Engine with automatic transmission are placed vertically in the so-called "Chimney" in the right rear corner of the bus. Rear drive axle may be Voith or ZF and front axle is solid (Voith, ZF or LAF). Composite cylinders for CNG (each with a capacity of 320 liters), which are for the gas versions TEDOM C 12 G placed on the roof of the car, the bus can drive 450 km (3 bottles) or 650 km (4 bottles). Fuel tank with diesel version of the C 12 D has a volume of 250 L.

Production and operation
Model C 12 was created by modifying the structure of the previous type TEDOM Kronos 123 in late 2006 and 2007. During 2007 was produced a total of 23 buses C 12, almost exclusively in the gas version (21 × C 12 G, 2 × C 12 D). 19 gas buses were delivered to Košice, local transport company has become the largest operator of TEDOM buses on the world. One bus in the gas version was delivered to Sofia, Bulgaria. Two diesel buses C 12 D were purchased by Slovak carrier SAD Prešov.

At the Brno AUTOTEC 2008 the model C 12 with a slightly modified front and rear face was introduced.

Production in 2008 included a total of 36 C 12 buses, of which 31 were powered by compressed natural gas and five diesels. Eight cars bought Sofia's public transport company, the company Burgasbus 10 from Burgas, seven Transport Company of Liberec, three cars are leased conveying the company Bratislava (DPB), the remaining gas buses are owned by the manufacturer. Cars with diesel engines purchased SAD Prešov (2 buses) and SAD Lučenec (3 buses)

In 2009, among other buses were manufactured for TRADO MAD Třebíč (3 buses) transport company in Varna (10 buses) and rent for DPB (17 pc).

Knight block of queen checks
Perhaps it is a god idea to mention in this article that knights are especially effective at blocking queen checks, as a knight directly in between a king and queen will cover all other squares the queen could go to check the king.

 * Comment. Some (limited) news coverage associated with her book. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:20, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * (With some regret) Delete unless she meets Beauty Queen criteria for keeping, a subject on which I am no expert. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:02, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Author of a nonnotable book per WP:NBOOK, president of a nonnotable organization per WP:ORG (they just market her speaking gigs), does not meet WP:AUTHOR nor WP:NMODEL, may meet WP:ANYBIO as being nominated numerous times for a significant award (if state level Miss and Mrs. USA awards are "well-known and significant" then she meets that). It's a poor argument (WP:OTHERSTUFF) but it would appear that most Miss North Carolina Teen USA are not included on Wikipedia so it likely isn't enough to merit notability. But meeting one or more of the previously mentioned criteria does not guarantee that a subject should be included so I'd like to check against WP:BASIC for living people. And here she totally fails. There aren't multiple, independent secondary sources about Rachel Lee Carter to prove her notability. --Joshuaism (talk) 02:44, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:46, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment - this article also violates WP:NOTADVERTISING. It would be wise to find some third party sources discussing her speaking engagements if this is going to remain on Wikipedia. --Joshuaism (talk) 03:25, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep- While it needs cleanup she seems to meet wp:bio. The coverage just for her win at the 2009 Mrs. North Carolina pagent seems to meet that criteria. I added some sources to the article.  Gtstricky Talk or C 14:59, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:AUTHOR nor WP:NMODEL seem like the relavent guidelines, and she doesn't meet either of them. Note that interview-based sources are not independent. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:29, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete for not meeting relevant guidelines and not otherwise appearing to meet WP:GNG. RonSigPi (talk) 14:04, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete this completely non-notable beauty-pageant contestant until she becomes governor of Alaska. Miserably fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:BK. Qworty (talk) 09:43, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Suet cake

Suet cakes or fat balls are nutritional supplements for wild birds used in bird feeders. They commonly consist of sunflower seeds and wheat or oat flakes mixed with suet, pork fat, or coconut oil. Further blends may also contain nuts, fruits, mealworms and other insects.

Next to balls, which are predominantly common in Northern and Central Europe, suet cakes may take various shapes such as rectangles, rings, or wheels. Fat balls are often sold within a fine plastic net allowing their suspension, such as on branches or in bushes. The nets can, however, be a danger to other species, such as deer, who may find the balls and eat them whole. Other forms of suet cakes can be placed within suspendable cages.

Talk:Mikki Kendall

Criticisms
This article ignores the fact that Kendall has been a controversial and polarizing figure. On February 17, 2014 the Nation Magazine published an article written by Michelle Goldberg (now with the NYTimes) called Feminism's Toxic Twitter Wars which included criticisms of Kendall and quotes from Kendall, for example:

"Mikki Kendall is unmoved by complaints about the repressive climate online. An Army veteran, graduate student and married mother of two in Chicago, Kendall is both famous and feared in Internet feminist circles. Mother Jones declared her one of the “13 Badass Women of 2013”—along with Wendy Davis and Malala Yousafzai—for her creation of the #solidarityisforwhitewomen hashtag. But as Kendall well knows, many consider her a bully, though few want to say so out loud. “I kind of have a reputation for being mean,” she says." 2603:7000:2703:74:598D:851B:3472:DAC6 (talk) 14:54, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
