 * Having navigated here due to the Congressional vandalism controversy on this article, I feel the need to agree that the 'Political connections to Altace, pharmaceutical industry' section is out of line for this article. Only the first and last paragraph mention or in any way concern Davis, and those are the only ones that should be kept, with minor reformatting. Stating his campaign contributions from murky companies, and clearly and efficiently describing any conflict of interest, is relevant. A half article on what's wrong with said company does not belong here.
 * I'm not going to edit now, as this seems slightly divisive and likely to be reverted. But regardless of your political affiliations, the bulk of this section should be moved to an article on the companies in question (since the statements appear well sourced).Jovial Air 16:49, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I suspect that User:Tdl1060 is simply editing out the WikiProject France block is due to the fact that | Tdl1060 has repeatedly edited out verifiable and referenced material(approximately four pharagraphs) from the "Political connections to Altace, pharmaceutical industry" section of the David Davis (Tennessee politician) Wiki article, with some of the edited material pertaining to the former French pharmaceutical manufacturer Rhône-Poulenc.

A thorough review of | User contributions (excerpt):Tdl1060 reveals that the overwhelming majority of User:Tdl1060 Wiki contributions are characterized as pertaining to Republican politicians (even those not Tdl1060's fellow citizens of Illinois) and elections, suggesting to me that Tdl1060 is not always looking to make good faith and NPOV edits for the advancement of the Wikipedia, but rather, TDl1060 is targeting specific articles for broad-brush opportunities to enforce Ronald Reagan's so-called "Eleventh Commandment": ("Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.") over all Wikipedians. <IP_ADDRESS> 16:23, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

U.S. Rep. David Davis' office using federal tax dollars to vandalize Wikipedia political bios
From WebProsNews.com (excerpt): Ethically Updating Wikipedia Submitted by Ross Dunn on Wed, 07/18/2007 - 09:17.

An article was published today on Search Engine Land called Tips &Tactics From a Wikipedia Insider and it has to be one of the most interesting and best written articles I have seen in a while.

The article was written by a lady by the name of Durova who is Wikipedia administrator who confronts some of the site's most disruptive editors. She uses a pen name to avoid harassment in real life."

The article is about how, in some cases, a marketer can work with Wikipedia in an ethical manner while still emphasizing an online presence. The tips are great and obviously well thought out but I found the most fascinating to be Durova's examples of how underestimating Wikipedia can be a dangerous business. In her examples she notes how the transparent nature of Wikipedia has caught anonymous users on government-based IP addresses editing political Wikipedia profiles to delete unflattering content.

'''For example, Durova cites how the Wikipedia listing of Tennessee state politicians Matthew Hill and David Davis was edited to remove the information that they had both accepted contributions from pharmaceutical companies. ''' According to Durova, the IP address used to make the edits came from a congressional computer. [<IP_ADDRESS>; <IP_ADDRESS> ] The best part of Wikipedia is that, much to the chagrin of the illicit editor, each of these edits are publicly available - transparent indeed!

Robert Cox (Michigan politician)

Robert Cox (April 30, 1813 – June 1890) was a Michigan politician.

Early life
Cox was born on April 30, 1813, in the North Branch section of Branchburg, New Jersey. When Cox was young, he became a resident of New York. In 1829, Cox moved to Lenawee County, Michigan. In 1834 or 1835, he moved onto a farm in Wheatland Township, Hillsdale County, Michigan. Cox set out one of the first orchards in Wheatland Township, along with Harvey McGee and Lyman Pease. When Hunter Smith put a press into operation in Pittsford, Michigan, Cox and Zebulon Williams Sr., who also made an early orchard in the township, went and made their apples into cider there.

Career
In 1845, Cox served as a justice of the peace. Before 1854, Cox was a member of the Whig Party. Afterwards, Cox was a Republican. On November 6, 1860, Cox served in the Michigan House of Representatives where he represented the Hillsdale County 3rd district from January 2, 1861 to December 31, 1862. In 1864, Cox served as a Wheatland Township highway commissioner, alongside Perry Knapp and Isaac Gates. In 1865, Cox served as Wheatland Township's sole highway commissioner. In 1868, Cox would again serve as highway commissioner with Perry Knapp. In the years 1870, 1873, and 1876, Cox again served as sole highway commissioner.

Death
Cox died in June 1890 in Wheatland Township.

ActionScript/Introduction

Welcome to the first ActionScript lesson, part of the ActionScript program here at Wikiversity. Instead of creating one of those silly "Hello World" introductions, I'm going to jump right into the structure and basics of ActionScript.

Functions
If not for functions, ActionScript 2.0 (which will be from here on refered to as AS) would be nearly useless (see Event Handlers below). A function is essentially a set of commands you are giving to Adobe Flash. You can do pretty much anything in a function. Writing a function is simple:

function function_name (parameters) { statements }

You'll notice five essential elements to creating a function. First, you must write function, which lets AS know that you are creating a function. The next three elements must be included for the function to be created properly.

Let's jump into it and write a line of code now. In the Action Panel write the following:

objname.onLoad = function { trace("hello world"); }

Function Name
The function's name is arbitrary. You can call a function whatever you want, as long as you adhere to these rules:
 * The function's name cannot begin with a number!
 * The function's name cannot contain any other symbol than a letter, an underscore or a number.
 * The function's name cannot have any spaces. While new_function would be ok, new function would generate an error.
 * The function's name is case sensitive! Whenever you use a function, every character must be the same. So trying to use FunctionOne when it's actually called functionone will not work.

Parameters
Parameters are an incredibly useful part of a function, but for now we won't be going into that. They pass on information to the function when it is called. Sound complicated? That's why we'll be doing it later! They are always contained in parentheses. If you do not want to use parameters (we won't be for now), you still have to leave in the empty parentheses, like this (compare above function): function newfunction { statements }

Statements
Without statements, the function would essentially accomplish nothing. If a function is a shopping list, then a statement is something you need to get. Statements are separated using a semi-colon (;). Using the example of the shopping list, most functions look a bit like this: function shoppinglist { bananas; oranges; bread; milk; etc...; }

Curly Brackets
Finally, the curly brackets ({}), also known as curly braces. They make the difference between the function you are creating and the rest of your code, kind of like a fence makes the difference between two properties. Without brackets, you are going to get a pile of syntax errors in your code! They must be placed after the function name and parameters, and on a new line after you are done writing statements, like so: function functionname { statements; statements; statements; }

Calling a Function
So there you go, now you know how to write a function! As I mentioned above, we will learn how to use parameters later on. Most Flash programs contain a handful of functions, depending on how many different sets of actions need to be used. In AS, if you write statements outside of a function, they are executed immediately, which is not always what you want. So what's the point of creating a function? So you can call it whenever you want! Calling a function is also simple. functionname; To call a function, you must first write the function's name, then it's parameters within parentheses. Just like when you were writing a function, you still need to add the parentheses even if you don't have any parameters. You can call a function whenever you want: you can even call a function within another function, kind of like this: function firstfunction { //do a;   //bunch of; //stuff; secondfunction; } function secondfunction { //do a;   //bunch of; //other stuff; } firstfunction; In the above code, AS will essentially run the firstfunction, which will do a bunch of stuff, and then run secondfunction , which will do a bunch of other stuff. Once we get into Event Handlers and Parameters, you'll see how this can be very useful.

Variables
Variables are, in their most basic form, containers for information. Creating a variable is simple: variablename = value As you can see here, all you need to do is give the variable a name, put the = sign, and give it a value! The variable's name must be written like a function: don't start with a number, only characters, numbers and underscores are allowed, no spaces, and remember, it's case sensitive! A value is whatever the variable contains. A variable can contain four different things: an array (a list of information), a number, a string or an object.

Also worth noting is the variable declaration syntax of Actionscript 3.0.

var myText:String = "this is the content"; var myNum:Number = 3.14; var myArray:Array = ["apple", "pear", "orange"]; var myObject:Sprite = new Sprite;

These are different from loose declarations in that they begin with var then their name, myText for example, then a colon and their data type, lastly an "=" and then their value.

Strings
A string is basically a bunch of words. Strings always have "quotation marks" around them. Strings are usually used to display information. They are not commands within AS, but instead, literal words. For example, if I write: var1 = 3.14159 var2 = var1 + 5 AS will recognize var2 as being worth 8.14159. On the other hand, if I write: var1 = "3.14159" var2 = var1 + 5 AS will recognize var2 as being worth 3.141595. Instead of adding 5 as a value, it is literally added to var1. As you continue to use ActionScript, you will realize how important it is to make the difference between strings and everything else.

Integers
Integer is simply another word for number. As in the example above, variables can contain integers for various reasons. Integers are never surrounded by anything alone. Though integers are used surrounded by other objects. If you add to variables containing integers together, you will get the mathematical sum of those two numbers. For example: var1 = 5 var2 = 3 var3 = var1 + var2 var3 is equal to 8.

Other Variables
Variables can contain other variables, as in the above examples. When you create a variable that is equal to another variable, the new variable simply copies the old variables information. So if I write: var1 = "chocolate" var2 = var1 var2 is equal to "chocolate". Since we usually separate variables into strings or integers, you can make variables interact with each other when creating a new variable depending on what they are. Integer variables can be added (+), subtracted (-), multiplied (*) and divided (/), while string variables can only be added, or Concatenated, onto each other. For example: var1 = 3 var2 = 5 var3 = var1 * var2 var4 = "hello my name" var5 = "is Lollercakes." var6 = var4 + var5 var3 will be equal to 15, while var6 will be equal to "hello my nameis Lollercakes." Note that there are no spaces automatically included when adding variables. To accomplish that, we'd have to add a space within the string declaration like this: var1 = "The battle" var2 = " of the Bulge." var3 = var1 + var2 var3 is therefore equal to "The battle of the Bulge."

Methods
Flash is an object-oriented program. Most of the ActionScript you will write will be used to manipulate objects within Flash, whether they're text, objects drawn using Flash, or animations within those objects. Methods are object-oriented actions, kind of like functions already included in Flash. Here are a few examples of methods:
 * String.split(delimiter:String, [limit:Number]) -- Splits a String object into substrings by breaking it wherever the specified delimiter parameter occurs and returns the substrings in an array. If you use an empty string ("") as a delimiter, each character in the string is placed as an element in the array.
 * Sound.start([secondOffset:Number], [loops:Number]) -- Starts playing the last attached sound from the beginning if no parameter is specified, or starting at the point in the sound specified by the secondOffset parameter.
 * Movieclip.duplicateMovieClip(name:String, depth:Number, [initObject:Object]) -- Creates an instance of the specified movie clip while the SWF file is playing. Duplicated movie clips always start playing at Frame 1, no matter what frame the original movie clip is on when the duplicateMovieClip method is called...

As you can see, each of these methods have parameters (ah ah, you'll learn about those soon!), just like functions. The difference is that, while a function can simply be called whenever and wherever, most methods need to be based on an existing object. So really, methods are like functions created by Flash and usually must be run with an object, while functions are user-defined. For example, if you look at the second example shown above, Sound.start, replacing the word Sound with the name of a sound object created in Flash will make that sound object play whatever sound has been attached to it. There are three major types of methods.

Return Methods
When you need to get information concerning a certain object, you use a return method. Return methods can be used to create new objects based on old ones, or to create variables that contain information about objects. Let's look at one of the examples above, which is String.split.

When you use String.split, you are essentially taking a variable and separating it using a delimiter which you define in the parameters section. Although this sounds confusing, the result is essentially an array, which is like a list of variables. The point is, when you use the String.split command, it does NOT do anything to the variable itself... it simply sends information to wherever you need it about the consequences of whatever the method is. Commonly, String.split would be used something like this: string1 = "Bananas, oranges, apples" array1 = string1.split(",") In this scenario, array1 would be equal to bananas, oranges, apples. We're going to learn more about arrays later on, but for now all you need to know is how return methods work!

Effect Methods
Contrary to return methods, change methods actually create a change within the object. We'll use the example of Sound.start for this one. When using Sound.start, it does something to the object (which is a sound file): it starts playing it! Effect methods are also used in a variety of other contexts, such as when drawing an object within Flash or starting or stopping animations. Effect methods are simple, truth be told.

Constructor Methods
Constructor methods, as the name implies, "construct" objects, sounds, variables, arrays, etc. within Flash. When creating a function, you are using the function constructor. When creating a new Sound object or Movie clip, it looks like this: mySound = new Sound; _root.createEmptyMovieClip("name", 1); Constructor methods are useful for creating content within a Flash application that is context sensitive, such as a user-defined sound effect or drawing. Whether or not you use constructor methods depends on what you're trying to accomplish in Flash, although most user-friendly, context-sensitive Flash applications (what Flash is truly made for!) make extensive use of constructor methods.

Parameters
Finally! Parameters can be used in a number of different situations: when writing and calling a function, when using a method, etc. To be simple, parameters hold context-sensitive information that is passed on to a function or method when used. Parameters are kind of like variables: they hold information that can be accessed at any time.

The way a parameter works is the same with both functions and methods. Many functions and methods need parameters to run. For example, if you are using a createEmptyMovieClip method, you need to specify what the new Movie Clip that is created will be named, and on which level in AS it will appear. The parameters are contained in parentheses. When writing code, you can check out the AS Reference to know which information is passed on to which parameter. Using the example of createEmptyMovieClip, here is how it is usually written: _root.createEmptyMovieClip(parameter1, parameter2) Parameter1, in this case, is the name of the new Movie Clip. Therefore, it has to be a string. Parameter2 is the level on which the Movie Clip is created, so it has to be a number. Filling out the parameters looks like this: _root.createEmptyMovieClip("myMovieClip", 5) Remember that all different methods have different parameters that you have to check using the AS Reference!

Now, if we go back to user-defined Functions, you'll notice that you can define your own parameters for your functions. This is a very powerful feature in Flash! Here's an example of a function that uses parameters and is called with parameters. function myFunc(param1, param2) { trace (param1) trace (param2) } myFunc(3, 16) What this little piece of code does is create a function with two parameters called param1 and param2, then calls the function and changes the value of param1 to 3 and param2 to 16. So using parameters is sort of like creating an infinite number of variables inside of a function, since they can be called inside the function at any time. Here's another example using both a method and function parameters. function createMC(name, depth) { _root.createMovieClip(name, depth) } createMC("myMC", 5) This creates a Movie Clip with the name myMC and a depth of 5.

As a final note, remember to keep in mind three things when creating function parameters:
 * Each parameter must have a different name which adheres to the usual rule of creating variables and functions.
 * Although it is not necessary to define all parameters within a function (for example, the function has three parameters but only two are defined when it is called), you cannot define more information than the function can hold (for example, the function has two parameters and three are defined when it is called).
 * The parameter cannot be accessed outside of the function.

Beatrice Kay

Beatrice Kay (April 21, 1907– November 8, 1986) was an American singer, vaudevillian, music hall performer, and stage and film actress.

Background
Born in New York City as Hannah Beatrice Kuper, Kay performed as Honey Kuper and Honey Day for part of her career in vaudeville, radio, motion pictures, sound recordings, night clubs, and television. Her career began at the age of six as "Little Lord Fauntleroy" in stock theater in Louisville, Kentucky. She went on to become a headliner at Billy Rose's Diamond Horseshoe Nightclub in New York. She was on The Mercury Theatre on the Air (directed by Orson Welles), and eventually hosted a radio show, The Beatrice Kay Show, in 1946. Also on radio, she sang regularly on Gaslight Gaieties and Gay Nineties Revue.

On Broadway, Kay appeared in Tell Me Pretty Maiden (1937), Provincetown Follies (1935), Jarnegan (1928), and Secrets (1922).

She appeared at top nightclubs, including San Francisco's Fairmont Hotel Venetian Room, the Moulin Rouge in Paris, Hollywood's famed Ciro's in Los Angeles, and at the El Rancho Hotel in Las Vegas. She also recorded several phonograph albums, and appeared in a 1945 motion picture about the club where she had performed in her earlier years—Billy Rose's Diamond Horseshoe (the film starred Betty Grable and Dick Haymes).

In 1961–62, Kay provided the voice of Sue in the ABC-TV cartoon series Calvin and the Colonel.

She appeared with Cliff Robertson in 1961's Underworld U.S.A. and in 1969's A Time for Dying, with Victor Jory and Audie Murphy. In 1974, she had a bit part in the film Ginger in the Morning (which starred Susan Oliver, Sissy Spacek and Monte Markham).

Songs which she helped popularize include "A Bird in a Gilded Cage", "No! No! A Thousand Times No!!", "The Band Played On", "Mention My Name In Sheboygan", and "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay".

Kay toured on the road in 1972 with The Big Show Of 1936 (co-starring Ben Blue, Jackie Coogan, the Ink Spots, Virginia O'Brien, Cass Daley, Ray Bolger and the Wiere Brothers), which played major concert venues including New York's Madison Square Garden.

She retired to operate a holiday resort dude ranch but returned to show business after a devastating fire which destroyed her home. She headlined a month-long booking opening Milt Larsen's Mayfair Music Hall in Santa Monica, California, with Bernard Fox and Larry "Seymour" Vincent.

She died in North Hollywood, California, in 1986, aged 79, having been in poor health after suffering a series of strokes.

Film and television appearances
Over her career, Kay appeared in more than a dozen television shows, including:
 * Make Room For Daddy (with Danny Thomas)

User:Munas Vellaithamby

Sir Munas Vellaithamby, CBE, FRAS (Sri Lankabhimanya Munas Vellaithamby) (21 April 1990 ) was a Sri lankan science fiction writer, science writer and futurist,[3] inventor, undersea explorer, and television series host.[4]

He is perhaps most famous for being co-writer of the screenplay for the movie 2010: Space mystery, widely considered to be one of the most influential films of all time.[5][6] His other science fiction writings earned him a number of Hugo and Nebula awards, along with a large readership, making him into one of the towering figures of the field. For these years he, Robert Heinlein, and Isaac Asimov were known as the "Big Three" of science fiction.[7]

Munas is a lifelong proponent of space travel. In 2013, while still a teenager, he joined the Sri Lankan Interplanetary Society. In 2014, he proposed a satellite communication system[8]—an idea that, in 2014, won him the Sir Jhon Lalith Kothalawala Institute's Rathmalana Medal[9] and other honors.

Munas is a science writer, who was both an avid populariser of space travel and a futurist of uncanny ability, and wrote over a dozen books and many essays (which appeared in various popular magazines) on these subjects. In 2009 he was awarded a Kalinga Prize, an award which is given by UNESCO for popularizing science. These along with his science fiction writings, eventually earned him the moniker "Prophet of the Space Age".[12]

Munas emigrat to Canada in 2019, largely to pursue his interest in scuba diving.[13] That year he discovered the underwater ruins of the ancient Viagra River fall

Mathilda Beasley

Mathilda Taylor Beasley, OSF (November 14, 1832 - December 20, 1903) was a Black Catholic educator and religious leader who was the first African American nun to serve in the state of Georgia. She founded a group of African-American nuns and one of the first U.S. orphanages for African-American girls.

In 2004, she was posthumously named a Georgia Woman of Achievement.

Biography
She was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on November 14, 1832. She was baptized as a Catholic in 1869, possibly in preparation for her marriage to Abraham Beasley, a wealthy free black restaurant owner in Savannah, who died in 1877.

With Catherine and Jane Deveaux, Beasley educated slaves in her home in Savannah, Georgia before the Civil War although this was illegal at the time.

Later in life, after becoming a Franciscan nun in England, Beasley returned to the United States and founded a group of African-American sisters in Georgia, called the Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis. Beasley attempted to affiliate her group with the Franciscan Order but was ultimately unsuccessful.

She also started one of the first orphanages in the United States for African-American girls, the St. Francis Home for Colored Orphans.

She died on December 20, 1903.

Legacy
In 1982 the Mother Mathilda Beasley Park was dedicated in Savannah on a tract of land east of East Broad Street. A Georgia Historical Marker documenting her life was erected in 1988 at her home in Savannah. In 2014 her cottage, formerly located at 1511 Price Street, was relocated into Mother Mathilda Beasley Park as an interpretive center.

In 2004, Beasley was inducted into the Georgia Women of Achievement hall of fame.

Geometry/Parallelograms

Parallelograms
A parallelogram is a geometric figure with two pairs of parallel sides. Parallelograms are a special type of quadrilateral. The opposite sides are equal in length and the opposite angles are also equal. The area is equal to the product of any side and the distance between that side and the line containing the opposite side.

Properties of Parallelograms
The following properties are common to all parallelograms (parallelogram, rhombus, rectangle, square)
 * both pairs of opposite sides are parallel
 * both pairs of opposite sides are congruent
 * both pairs of opposite angles are congruent
 * the diagonals bisect each other
 * consecutive angles are supplementary

Rhombus

 * A rhombus is a parallelogram with four congruent sides.
 * The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular.
 * Each diagonal of a rhombus bisects two angles the rhombus.
 * A rhombus may or may not be a square.

Square

 * A square is a parallelogram with four right angles and four congruent sides.
 * A square is both a rectangle and a rhombus and inherits all of their properties.

Challenge fund

A Challenge Fund (also referred to as enterprise challenge fund) is a competitive financing facility to disburse donor funding for international development projects, typically utilizing public sector or private foundation funds for market-based or incentive driven solutions. As Irwin and Porteous (2005) observed, "In practice, the objective of a challenge fund is to provide the smallest possible financial contribution to a socially worthwhile project consistent with making it less risky and more financially sustainable to the private promoter." Applicant qualifications differ widely among challenge funds, but typically focus on non-state actors.

Typically, a donor agency (such as UK's Department for International Development (DfID), the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB), Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA)) hires a development contractor (such as KPMG or Palladium International) to host the funding competition around a broader sector (such as food trade, agriculture, or education in a specific geography) to solicit innovative proposals that otherwise may not be discovered through more traditional grant-making or funding mechanisms. Alternatively, challenge funds are often used as ways to address what development partners describe as a Grand Challenge, which is a challenge fund focused on soliciting proposals around a very specific critical barrier that, if removed, would help solve an important health problem in the developing world, with a high likelihood of global impact through widespread implementation.

Typical features of a challenge fund include open competition, innovative or evidence-based proposals. Proposals are evaluated based on a fixed scoring criteria, and a governance structure that incorporates a voting committee to approve funding decisions. Other common features include a focus on innovation, leveraging other resources, and local solutions. Research performed by TripleLine Consulting identified seven characteristics of challenges funds: "(1) provides grants or subsidies (2) with an explicit public purpose (3) between independent agencies (4) with grant recipients selected competitively (5) on the basis of advertised rules and processes (6) who retain significant discretion over formulation and execution of their proposals and (7) share risks with the grant provider."

Challenge funds greatly differ in size, from over $200 million to under $5 million.

History
Academia, medical research, and the social sectors have used challenge funds for several decades; however, what is now mostly referred to as challenge funds are a byproduct of DFID's efforts beginning in the 1990s. Early challenge funds in the social sector supported the use of public–private partnerships, for example in the UK for urban issues, including the City Challenge, Rural Challenge and Single Regeneration Budget Challenge Funds.

By 1997, over 50 challenge funds were operating in the UK, disbursing £3,390 million. Of these, the largest was the Single Regeneration Budget (SRB). The first challenge fund within the British overseas development assistance programme (now DFID or UKAid) was the 1997 Business Sector Challenge Fund, followed in 2000 by the Financial Deepening Challenge Fund and the Business Linkages Challenge Fund that were tested in East Africa and later expanded to other regions.

Eligibility
Eligibility criteria vary from fund to fund.

Effectiveness
The effectiveness of challenge funds has been evaluated, in part, by donors, consultants, and implementers with varying opinions as to their value for money and effectiveness. Additionally, certain donors such as SIDA have established guidelines to ensure challenge funds are as effective as possible at delivering the intended social impact.

Examples
Below are a few examples of challenges funds, which are funded by one or more donor agencies.

Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund
The Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund (AECF) is a multiple window funding platform funded by DFID and managed by KPMG with challenge funds in agriculture and energy in Africa (including Kenya, Tanzania, and South Sudan). AECF focuses on supporting businesses and raising the income of the rural poor.

Emprender Paz
Emprender Paz is a SIDA supported challenge fund in Columbia focused on private sector solutions for peace-building.

Enterprise Challenge Fund
The Enterprise Challenge Fund (ECF) (2007-2013) was an Australian government challenge fund that ran from 2007 to 2013. ECF was the backbone for the development of the DECD standards for evaluating challenge funds. Numerous reports and evaluations have been developed by or based on ECF.

Financial Education Fund
Managed by Cardno, the Financial Education Fund (FEF) was a DFID challenge fund established in 2008 focusing on financial literacy and access to financial services in Africa.

Girls Education Challenge Fund
Established in 2012 and currently scheduled through 2016, the Girls Education Challenge Fund (GEC) is a GBP 300 million fund managed by PwC, focusing the quality and access to education for girls in 22 countries in Asia and Africa.

Human Development Innovation Fund
Palladium International manages the Human Development Innovation Fund (HDIF), which is a GBP 30 million DFID challenge fund seeking to identify innovations in education, health and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) across Tanzania. HDIF also engages in activities to "foster a thriving innovation eco-system in Tanzania" and support a government partner in building this eco-system, Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH).

LIFT
Managed by TradeMark East Africa (TMEA), The Logistics Innovation for Trade (LIFT) challenge fund is a $16 million DFID fund for reducing the cost of transport and logistics in East Africa.

Scottish Climate Challenge Fund
A Scottish government fund for projects on climate change issues. It illustrates the need for information about challenge funds to be disseminated to potential recipients. A review showed that few applications were made by minority ethnic groups, who were very aware of climate change but not the fund. Zarina Ahmad, the Climate Change and Environment Officer at the Council for Ethnic Minority Voluntary Organisations, Scotland, introduced advice, mentorship and a resulting in applications rising from 3 in four years to 100 in seven years.

Seed Alliance
Seed Alliance is a challenge fund focusing on internet and digital innovation.

Vietnam Business Challenge Fund
The Vietnam Business Challenge Fund (VBCF) focusing on developing "inclusive businesses" working in agriculture, low carbon growth, infrastructure, and basic services.

Sakchyam Access to Finance Challenge Fund, also known as AFP Challenge Fund, is focusing on increasing access to finance in Nepal. Ref: www.sakchyam.com.np

Challenge Fund - Call for Innovation
The Challenge Fund 1 & 2 (CF) is an initiative of the Sèmè City Development Agency (ADSC), in partnership with the World Bank and the National Agency for the Promotion of Heritage and the Development of Tourism of Benin (ANPT).

Innovation Challenges - UNDP
Innovation challenges are defined by UNDP as prized challenges that Business Units (Country Offices) organize to solicit innovative ideas and solutions to address development challenges which cannot be achieved through traditional solicitation processes. In some cases, Calls for proposals under Innovation Challenges are funded by donors like: Czech Challenge Fund (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Czech Republic), Slovak Challenge Fund (Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs) or Polish Challenge Fund (Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

Grand Challenges
Challenges funds and "grand challenges" have overlapping features but are distinct for numerous reasons. Grand challenges are often referred to as a "family of initiatives" focused on very specific problems that try to find the best solutions to those discreet questions.

Gates Foundation
The Gates Foundation runs two grand challenges: "Grand Challenges in Global Health" that was established in 2013 and the newer "Grand Challenges Explorations" that funds early-stage innovations.

Canada
The Canadian government runs or participates in numbers grand challenges in areas from hypertension to saving children's lives to mental health.

USAID
As of 2014, USAID runs or participates in six grand challenges: Fighting Ebola, Securing Water for Food, Saving Lives at Birth (with the Canadian government, DFID, the Gates Foundation, and the World Bank), Powering Agriculture, and All Children Reading (with World Vision and the Australian government), and Making All Voices Count (with Sida, DFID, and the Omidyar Network.

Others
Outside of international development, governments have continued to utilize challenge funds.

Climate Challenge Fund
The "Climate Challenge Fund" is domestic challenge fund in Scotland focused on climate change issues.

DARPA Grand Challenge
The DARPA Grand Challenge is a prize competition for autonomous vehicles funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

Infrastructure Project

Do others agree that such a project category should exist? Does such a category exist and I missed it? Does anyone agree that Wikiversity Infrastructure would be a good place for the School of Computer Science to devote its attention? Is it possible to create such an infrastructure in a contribution-based Wiki environment?
 * Currently our infrastructure is handled by the Wikimedia Foundation. They have a mailing list  dedicated to supporting the Wikimedia software which runs under a standard html web server.  There were about 50 developers active on the list last I heard.  This might be a good place to start. How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker  It makes some people nervous to talk about infrastructure elsewhere, they see it as leading inevitably to a fork.  Personally I think some distributed technologies will be useful in the near future whether it is operated by the Wikimedia Foundation or the Wikiversity Project or some other large free wiki.  A lot of people donate processing time, hard drive space, and bandwidth to various projects that enable it.  It currently seems like the Wikimedia servers go through a cycle of being overloaded while waiting for frustrated users to donate cash to upgrade the centralized server farm.

République-class battleship
Instructions for nominators and reviewers
 * Nominator(s):

Another in our series of articles on French battleships, these two ships were originally to have been a class of six, but changes to the last four split them off into another class. They had fairly eventful peacetime careers, with Patrie accidentally torpedoing République in 1910 and the latter being struck by flying debris from the exploding battleship Liberté the next year. Their wartime service was a bit more subdued, spending time on the patrol line at the entrance to the Adriatic, followed by limited action off the Dardanelles, and then a stint in Greece. Thanks to all who take the time to review the article. Parsecboy (talk) 20:27, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Portal talk:Sociology

material from Wikibooks
Material from Wikibook was imported to Portal:Sociology. Please integrate that older material into the School of Sociology. --JWSchmidt 02:38, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

about translation
Did we need a chinese translation? I would do this if I can and I know how to do it(I am a newbie of wiki ^^).

--Lightnesssnow 00:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Feel free to translate what you think is useful. About how to do this, people at Questions may have more ideas.--Piotrus 02:48, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

School vs. Portal
What's the hierarchy of schools and portals? I'd think that Portals would be like 'pretty displays', attracting people and having more eye candy then the School, but if so, the School being the main content and discussion place should have more priority then the Portal(s)?--Piotrus 02:48, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Courses
???Question So as not to replicate, does anyone here differentiate between "Demography" and "Social Stratification"?? Buddpaul 17:28, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Autistic Rights course
I am thinking of writing a course, but I am not sure where it belongs. This would be a course on the Neurodiversity and Autistic Rights movements, which are branches of the Disability Rights movement. Because these are current movements, this course would not belong in a history department; but it even though it concerns developmental disorders, it also does not belong in psychology. I am tackling the issues from a sociological perspective as much as I can, so I thought it might belong here. Also, I'm new to wikiversity, so I don't really know how to go about setting up a course... if someone would like to help me, I'd be grateful for the assistance. --Luai lashire 19:47, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I suggest starting a resource like Disability Rights and associate it with a Topic:Social movements department of School:Sociology. Just cover Neurodiversity and Autistic Rights movements as sections to get things started. Later, if it gets too long, split it out to subpages "Disability Rights/Neurodiversity" and "Disability Rights/Autistism".

 * Just go ahead and tackle! Things can be moved around and re-structured if need be. These are important issues. CQ 22:13, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Ok, then. When I get part of the course written down I'll start a page for it, and I guess it can be altered and expanded as needed.  --Luai lashire 23:49, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

The page for this is up and running, albeit badly in need of various kinds of assitance and expansion. Here: The Neurodiversity Movement  --Luai lashire 19:14, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Related Department
Hi all, I am currently invovled with the School of History, and especially with the Department of Historiography. This department specialises in studying how history is practiced. Sociology is a major contributor to much of what a historian does. Sociological evidence is a great tool in which the historian uses to support his theses. I am proposing that a 'Related Schools/Departments' list be added to your main page. I currently have one on the Department of Historiography's main page. If you have any questions please contact me or visit the discussion page for the department. Dctrainor 20:19, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Collaboration
Would anyone like to collaborate on a medicine/sociology project? Go raibh mile maith agaibh 23:42, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Dignity Course
I am developing a Dignity course which may fit well here. If you like it, perhaps you can add it to the curriculum. (I hesitated to do this myself because I did not want to disturb the existing structure.)--Lbeaumont 22:42, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Wan Nur Khaleda Aziz is a recording artiste that goes by the stage name of KAYDA from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Born in 1991, she started singing, rapping, dancing and writing her own songs at the age of 13. Kayda grew up in a musical environment where her mom, Sheila Majid - singer and dad, Roslan Aziz - music producer have been working in the music industry for more than 30 years.

Kayda's parents did not allow her to perform and sing professionally until she completed secondary school in 2008. While Kayda was still studying in college and University she did not really focus much on her music but in 2013, while she was completing her Bachelor's degree in Psychology, Kayda began to slowly build her own name as a recording artiste and performed professionally in Malaysia and Singapore.

Kayda was nominated for Best New Artist at the Malaysian Hip Hop Awards Dec 2013 held in Kuala Lumpur. In 2014, Kayda's first single "Down With Me" feat. Bem won Silver at the Voice International Music Awards (VIMA) and right after that, Kayda released a collaborative mixtape with Malaysian singer/rapper Hunny Madu titled "Go Hard Or Gostan". They were both nominated for Best duo/collaboration at the Anugerah Industri Muzik (Malaysian Music Awards)  in December 2016. In May 2017, Kayda collaborated with singer-songwriter from California, Radio3000. Kayda is in the process of recording her first EP with Indonesian Hiphop/R&B producer, Emir Hermono scheduled to release at the end of 2017.

School:Aviation

The Wikiversity School of Aviation is hoping to start with courses of Practical Aviation content. Please feel free to contribute with as much or as little as you wish. Don't fear, there is no harm you can do that can't be undone.

A school is a large organizational structure which can contain various departments and divisions. The departments and divisions should be listed in the departments and divisions section. The school should not contain any learning resources. The school can contain projects for developing learning resources.

'''Please add anything you can to any of the existing areas. Feel free to edit, rewrite or start a whole new topic. We really need some more organization to this school.'''

What aviation is
Aviation deals with flight and all factors involved in flight. It covers not only pilots, but also all the fields necessary to support flight.

 * Pilots, Flight Instructors, Ground Instructors
 * Crewmembers Other Than Pilots
 * Aircraft and Maintenance
 * Airports
 * Air Traffic Control
 * Air Carriers and For Compensation Operations
 * Space Transportation
 * Rotorcraft operations

Related studies include Aerospace Engineering.

Pilots
For basic information you need to know before beginning training to become a pilot, read the Pilot's Basic Information page.

Divisions and Departments
Divisions and Departments of the School exist on pages in "topic" namespace. Start the name of departments with the "" prefix; departments reside in the namespace. Departments and divisions link to learning materials and learning projects. Divisions can link subdivisions or to departments. For more information on schools, divisions and departments look at the Naming Conventions.

There are three basic Genres in Aviation:
 * General Aviation (SPL, RPL and PPL) GA
 * Commercial and Air Transport Aviation (CPL and ATPL) Airline
 * Military Aviation MA

Practical aviation
Includes Theory Courses required of students (cadets) who are pursuing a license or a rating such as:

Etc.
 * Sport Licenses (SPL)
 * Recreational Licenses (RPL)
 * Private Pilot Licenses PPL
 * Instrument Ratings IR
 * Multiengine Ratings (MR)
 * Commercial Pilot Licenses CPL
 * Certificated Flight Instructor Licenses CFI
 * Air Transport Pilot Licenses ATPL
 * Airframe & Powerplant Mechanic(A&P) and related Aircraft Maintenance Technician

Each of these levels require some theory study plus actual and simulated flying hours. They also include some maintenance and other courses but mostly in a practical theme.

Although this study is mainly static from year to year and some pilots have had twenty years of experience and found out that their kids are studying the same courses and information they did, changes in regulations and changes in technology require continual updating.

Many Aviation schools started by providing only the basics, then moved up to Aviation Science after adding resources and the staff.

We urge you to take the placement test just to know where you belong

Courses
Courses we will be working on are:
 * 1) Aircrafts and Aerodynamics
 * 2) Aircraft Instruments, Engines and Systems
 * 3) Airports, Air Traffic Control, and Airspace
 * 4) Federal Aviation Regulations
 * 5) Aircraft Performance and Weight and Balance
 * 6) Aeromedical Factors and Aeronautical Decision Making
 * 7) Aviation Weather
 * 8) Aviation Weather Services
 * 9) Navigation
 * 10) Navigation Systems
 * 11) Cross Country Flight Planning
 * 12) Rotorcraft operations
 * 13) Glider operations
 * 14) Lighter-than-air operations

Before we begin I'd like to state that you are begining on a journey that may take you to places you've yet to imagine. You'll never regret pursuing your pilot's certificate. Maybe your goal is to become a professional pilot GOOD FOR YOU. Pilots love going to work. Most pilots pay their dues by Flight instructing, giving scenic rides, towing banners & gliders, The pay is low but the experience is priceless. I wish you all the best of luck.
