Sources of Modern Knoweldge About Phoenicia Written Records and Archaeology

Until the late 19th century most of the information about pre-Hellenistic Eastern Mediterranean came from the Hebrew Bible and from various Greek and Latin sources.

While the Hebrew Bible was largely completed by 300 BC, its attitude toward contemporary religions of the area was generally quite hostile, so that its references to these religions may not only devalue them but also exaggerate or distort various aspects of them. On the other hand, Israelite religion was itself an outgrowth of, as well as a reaction to, the religions of its neighbours, so that many features of Israelite religion found in the Hebrew Bible exemplify the religions of the larger area. The only sure guide to making such discriminations is the knowledge gained from indigenous documents.

Greek and Latin sources may be less hostile, but they are also much later, from the Roman period. While they may be more reliable in their description of the contemporary character of the religions of the area, that character may have been significantly different after several centuries of Hellenism from what it had been even in the middle of the preceding millennium. Notable among the Greek and Latin sources are De Dea Syra ("About the Syrian Goddess") from the 2nd century AD, attributed to Lucian of Samosata, and the section of Eusebius of Caesarea's Praeparatio evangelica ("Preparation for the Gospel"; 4th century AD) that cites extracts from a History of Phoenicia by Philo of Byblos (c. AD 100); Philo himself claimed to be translating the work of an early Phoenician priest, Sanchuniathon. While indigenous sources now confirm isolated elements of this allegedly early description of Phoenician religion, its distortions also have become more demonstrable. Philo's history is in fact an attempt to recount early Phoenician history by constructing a systematic chronological sequence of events out of the various local traditions of his time and interpreting the latter euhemeristically -- that is, by treating gods and myths as representative of historical individuals and events.

Beginning in the late 18th century, the finds of early explorers of the area and subsequently of archaeologists engaged in more systematic excavation have produced a rapidly increasing number of firsthand sources. Successive generations of epigraphers and philologists have deciphered the texts and attained an increasingly sophisticated understanding of the languages. Unfortunately, the texts that are best understood tend to be formulaic and yield only the most external kinds of information about the religion, while the more distinctive texts, which seem more interesting and promise to be more revealing, are usually more difficult to penetrate.

Cuneiform archives from various 2nd-millennium sites and from the 3rd millennium at Ebla in northwestern Syria provide some documentation of the religion. The most abundant documentation comes from the 14th- and 13th-century remains of the city of Ugarit (modern Ras Shamra), on the Mediterranean coast of Syria. This includes the only native examples of extended religious narrative. It also comprises the widest range of genres, including myths, legends, liturgical texts, god lists, omens, and correspondence.

From the 1st millennium come scores of Phoenician inscriptions, both from the Phoenician coast and from other areas of the eastern Mediterranean; neo-Hittite hieroglyphic inscriptions and Aramaic inscriptions from northern Syria, almost all from the 9th and 8th centuries; and Moabite, Ammonite, and Hebrew inscriptions. These are very limited in genre, and relatively few are more than a few lines long.

Uninscribed materials from excavated sites throughout the eastern Mediterranean supplement the picture: they include the foundations of temples, temple furnishings, figurines, images of gods and their emblems, and scenes of gods, myths, and religious activities on reliefs and seals. However, criteria for identifying religious materials have not always been carefully considered, nor has discriminating attention been given to the question of the reflection of religious life in material remains in general. It is often difficult to correlate with confidence written and unwritten materials.

In spite of these new and ever-growing sources of knowledge, the resulting picture is still very irregular. While there is an unparalleled variety of sources, covering a century and a half, from the large cosmopolitan city of Ugarit, other written materials give a much more limited picture. For many periods, areas, and topics there are no written remains. Descriptions of the religion of any one period or area (with the exception of Ugarit) are extremely limited and superficial. Generalizations about the religions of the eastern Mediterranean may well prove to have significant exceptions as some of these gaps are filled by new discoveries.

Talk:The Voynich Manuscript/F1v

Meta-discussion: (about the wiki page itself, not the content).

This is my first attempt at moving content from the interlinear to this wikibook. I have some experience with wikis but little with this particular variety. Some of the links gave me trouble, in particular the image links. From my reading of the help document it shouldn't be treating these image links specially, but obviously it is. The one inserts the image directly into the page which may have copyright issues, the other two links don't seem to work and so the wiki replaces what would in theory by the image with simply the filename. I don't know how to protect these so that they are treated as mere links like the others.

Talk:Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Slovakia got dedicated?
The following is cited, so it should be fairly straightforward to elaborate: "On May 12, 2006 Uchtdorf dedicated Slovakia for the preaching of the gospel." As it stands, however, I have no idea what it means, and I suspect that it would be similarly opaque to most non-LDS. Translation, please? Alai (talk) 03:24, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe it's something the LDS Church does for each country just prior to it sending missionaries in to preach. A person, usually a church apostle, goes to the country and gives a prayer/blessing on the country in preparation for the influx of Mormon missionaries. It's significant in that it generally only occurs once for every country in the world (unless there has been a large time gap since the last Mormon missionaries visited, in which case it might be done again). I agree that this needs to be worded better somehow to make it understandable. Zoporific 03:36, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I get the general idea now. Can we perhaps say he "conducted a ceremony/service/prayer of dedication", then, or some such form of words?  I've dropped a note at WP:LDS.  Perhaps someone can find or start a related article that would help put this in context.  Alai (talk) 05:26, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Zoporific is correct in his/her assessment. As a Latter-day Saint, I can tell you that every time the Church is officially recognized and permitted to enter into another country (after the needed signatures have been gathered for the government to authorize such a course of action) an apostle (that is, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles or First Presidency) is sent to offer a prayer of dedication. This dedicatory prayer (similar to those given for temple dedications) invokes the blessings of the Lord upon the country in question and, if the apostle feels so inspired, on the surrounding countries as well, and asks the Lord to prosper the work of the gospel in that nation. It would be equally appropriate to say that "he conducted a ceremony/service/prayer of dedication", however, our job as Wiki editors is to make pages concise in most cases, rather than more verbose. It is more pertinent to say that the land was "dedicated" than to say it any other way because otherwise, you would also need to change the page describing temple dedications. After all, the principle of dedication in the Church is basically the same, whether it be dedication of a home, church building, temple, country, etc. As such, I don't believe it would be productive to change the terminology in this case UNLESS you intend to also change the terminology for the other types of dedications as well. After all, a dedication is a dedication, no matter what is being dedicated. Anyways, that's my two cents on the matter. --Jgstokes-We can disagree without being disagreeable (talk) 04:11, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Since this is a thing that happens so often in the church (dedicating buildings, that is, not just countries), perhaps writing a Dedication (LDS Church) would be helpful, and then when used the article could be linked to instead of a verbose explanation given each time? Snocrates 00:54, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the further edits; I wasn't by any means wedded to my wording, just trying to remove the editorial adoption of (as I suspected) LDS-particular form of words. Much better to report same, and describe.  As a reader I found it a jarring and tortuous usage to say someone "decidated a country", as it's for me quite clearly not at all the same thing as dedicating a building that demonstrably "belongs" to the religion performing the rite in question.  The article on dedication covers the first sense, as it's used by many a denomination, but certainly not the second, which may indeed merit a separate article for its LDS-specific usage.  (I suppose it's a "had not the competence to do it" sort of thing, at bottom.  The LDS in Slovakia can obviously dedicate its mission, but can it "set aside" a whole country "for a particular purpose" (of being preached to by LDS missionaries)?  Not in the common-or-garden, M-W sense of the word, they can't.)  Alai (talk) 04:50, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The LDS people cannot do it, but an apostle can. And though the idea of dedication is similar in principle, there is one important difference. That is: prayers of dedication, be it of a home, Church building, temple, or country are not just used to present whatever it is officially to the Lord. They are used to invite His Spirit to be there so that His will can be done regarding whatever it is. I hope that clarifies the question. But perhaps it would be useful to expand the Wiki "dedication" page to explain both definitions better. Any thoughts? --Jgstokes-We can disagree without being disagreeable (talk) 15:19, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I thought it was fairly clear that I was including apostles et al in my statement about LDS's realm of competence, which I think it's inarguable is the LDS church, and not entire countries. My point is that there's a strong disconnect between the LDS usage of this word here, in which a Sufficiently Advanced LDS can "dedicate a country", and the general meaning of the word "dedicate", in which the LDS church, in whole or in part, cannot do so.  For that reason, and especially as we don't yet have an article on the LDS usage, we should be careful about Wikipedia's "editorial voice" using the word in the former sense (as distinct from directly reporting same).  Alai (talk) 06:28, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I quite understand what you're getting at. Just because a home is dedicated doesn't necessarily mean the Church is always present there. The same applies to countries. The purpose of dedicating a country is to officially accept the recognition of the government to have Church missionaries accepted to proselyte in the country. Besides that, even if there's not an official "Wiki page" on this context of dedication, the fact remains that this context is used in numerous Church publications. Each time a land is dedicated by the Church, an account of said dedication is contained in a later edition of the Ensign. The closest I could come to finding a reference for this on the Church website was an account of the growth in Slovakia in video form on the Church's Newsroom. The reference given for verification of this dedication has expired, so it might be wise to find another one. But in each of the references I've found relating to the dedication of a land by the Church, "dedication" is ALWAYS the word used by the Church to describe it. Since this is a Church related issue, my feeling is that we should use official Church terminology, explaining it as necessary, perhaps through another Wiki page. But I do not feel that the word "dedicated" should be removed or replaced simply because it's not understood. If that was the case, then many words used by WP would have to be explained, particularly pertaining to the Church. Of course, it's a moot point anyways, because an explanation is given in the article at any rate. I have no objection to the phrase as it now stands, however, I would recommend forming a Wiki page to discuss this definition of "dedicated" to eliminate the supposed "confusion" that the unexplained usage of this LDS-endorsed term might create. --Jgstokes-We can disagree without being disagreeable (talk) 20:09, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Early Life?
Why is an emeritus degree from byu (2008) in the section on early life? perhaps it would fit better elsewhere? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:25, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
 * It's all relative. Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 17:00, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Common name
This article was recently moved from Dieter F. Uchtdorf to just Dieter Uchtdorf with the edit summary that there is no need for the middle name in the title. However, he is most commonly referred to with the middle initial (see most of the references). I am reverting the move. Further discussion, if needed, can take place here. Thanks, 72Dino (talk) 21:21, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed. It keeps him unique. (Watching him conduct LDS Conf, just now.) Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 17:35, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Anyone who knows Uchtdorf knows that, at least since his call as a General Authority in 1994, he has been referred to as "Dieter F. Uchtdorf." So I would be opposed to the move as well. Dieter F. Uchtdorf he is, and Dieter F. Uchtdorf he should remain until otherwise indicated. --Jgstokes-We can disagree without being disagreeable (talk) 18:48, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ — As you can see, this article remains "Dieter F. Uchtdorf". Thanks, Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 15:26, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Immigration meeting with President Obama
I am wondering if we should include President Uchtdorf's meeting with Obama and others on immigration in this article. Here is mormon.com, not an official Church site, take on it. There have also been articles and editorials in various news organizations.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:13, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I vote for that. It is notable. LDS Church leaders always support and pray for the occupant of the oval office. — Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 02:31, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

The mormonchurch.com article should not be used, as it doesn't meet wp:RS (it's not wp:SCHOLARSHIP/wp:NEWSORG), but the following news articles could be used: These articles are better worded anyway. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:25, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

 * BTW, mormon.com is an official site of the LDS Church, but mormonchurch.com is not. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:26, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

First Presidency Information
I noticed while reading this article that some of the information about Uchtdorf being in the First Presidency was in the section that talked about him being an apostle, so I rearranged it. Thoughts? --Jgstokes (talk) 03:46, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 15:28, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Rather than update/revert the recent good faith edits, I thought I'd add a comment here and seek feedback, particularly from Jgstokes as the initial editor and Good Ol’factory, given some minor adjustments to the edit. This relates to the note specifying participation in last weekend's temple dedication.  I am not sure there needs to be an addition to any specific dedication he's participated in when he's not the one with the assignment to dedicate it - but at a minimum if it did go that way, do all of those he's participated in then get listed?  And, if so, does that make much sense to include?  It is somewhat the same for his time as a member of the Twelve (along with all members of that group), would the list include each one that they participate in?  For me at least, that seems an undue level of detail.  Depending on other thoughts, I would also say that the recent addition ought to at least be edited to read in more timeless fashion, rather than "recent" - but again, what makes participation in this one any more noteworthy than others.  Just exploring some thoughts (and not doing it in very succinct fashion!) Thanks! ChristensenMJ (talk) 17:49, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

 * If he didn't do the actual dedication of the specific temple, I think it might be too much to include note of temple dedications he has attended or participated in. I too didn't want to delete it outright without some input from others, though. Good Ol’factory (talk) 20:45, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed, I think we're on the same page about not wanting to just delete the addition & perhaps also on the overall view of inclusion versus not doing so. ChristensenMJ (talk) 21:27, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for posting here. I included Uchtdorf's participation because it was significant this time in the sense that he represented the First Presidency in addressing the cultural celebration the night before. I understand fully the concerns about having too much information in the article. I applaud the edits that have been made to this addition of mine. I disagree on one point, though. I think that the temple dedications he participates in, particularly since becoming a member of the First Presidency, are worthy of note. Do I think we ought to list EVERY temple dedication he's been involved in? Certainly not. I realize how extensive such lists would become if we attempted to do that for every general authority. But where he was performing a specific function by representing the First Presidency and speaking at the cultural celebration, this current dedication participation stands out and should be mentioned. At least, that was my reasoning. But I recognize that others may disagree with me on this point. Thanks for waiting to take action on deleting this until I had my say. That was very considerate of you. --Jgstokes (talk) 03:29, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the thoughts, Jgstokes. I understand the interest in wanting to acknowledge the comments to the youth the night before, but at the same time, that wasn't actually even referenced in the additions that were made.  Nor do I think that him speaking there has any great noteworthy significance. The temple dedications themselves are where the "story" lies and as it seems you're in agreement that it's not at all practical to try and identify all that different general authorities participate in, it doesn't seem consistent to start adding some things and not others.  Except when he's performed the dedication itself, those he's participated in as a member of the First Presidency are no more significant than as a member of the Seventy or the Twelve.  He received an assignment to speak at some, as did other of the men and women who serve at general church levels - as just part of the "regular" activities of his current office, such as speaking in conferences and other things. Those are my initial thoughts, so I would recommend removing the sentence about the Phoenix temple. ChristensenMJ (talk) 04:43, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I am posting here because of a deletion that was made to the Henry B. Eyring article when I tried to add information about his participation in the Ogden Utah Temple Rededication. I believe we are in agreement that not every dedication every apostle participates in is worthy of reference, but the Ogden participation is unique because he actually presided at a majority of the sessions, and thus it could be argued that the attribution for the rededication of this temple should go jointly to President Monson and President Eyring, if not mostly to President Eyring, as President Monson was only involved in one session. Where President Eyring's involvement is so significant there, it ought to be included. At least, that's the way I see it. But IMHO, this issue should be argued on Eyring's talk page rather than gumming up Uchtdorf's talk page. Unless we'd like to select a neutral location where all apostolic participation in temple dedications can be mentioned, we should confine our discussions of relevant issues to the relevant pages which are under discussion. --Jgstokes (talk) 01:36, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Who is said to have actually re-dedicated the Ogden temple? Was it Monson or Eyring? If Eyring was just presiding at some of the sessions and reading Monson's dedicatory prayer, I'm not sure that it would be enough to include in the Eyring article. After Eyring's death, it's not the sort of thing that would be mentioned in obituaries or summary articles about his life. Certainly it should be mentioned in Ogden Utah Temple though. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:00, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Most reports credit President Monson with rededicating the temple, but in the list of participants, it spells out the extent of Monson and Eyring's involvement. Monson presided, spoke, and offered the dedicatory prayer during the first session while Eyring conducted it. Eyring also conducted the remaining two sessions, presiding and offering the dedicatory prayer at both, and speaking at the second session. So Monson is credited with rededicating the temple, but Eyring had a more prominent role in the actual dedicatory services. I know that after Monson's death, that sort of thing won't be mentioned in obituaries, but we are talking about a BLP here, which should include all events of prominence in which an individual is involved. For Eyring, in my mind, that includes the Ogden Temple Rededication. At any rate, as I stated above, Eyring's role in temple dedications is not a relevant issue for the Dieter F. Uchtdorf talk page, so this conversation should either get back to discussing Uchtdorf and issues relevant to him or else be moved to a more appropriate place. --Jgstokes (talk) 07:13, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * It's relevant here insofar that this discussion was originally addressing a very similar issue. I don't think BLPs cover "all events of prominence" for an individual, and we wouldn't suddenly change the scope of a bio article after someone's death. Attending and presiding at temple dedications, reading dedicatory prayers, and things like this just aren't terribly notable in the grand scheme of things, I'm afraid. Both of these cases seem to me to be classic examples of WP:RECENTISM. Good Ol’factory (talk) 08:45, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm coming to this late, but after reading both sides, I'm going to have to agree with Good Ol’factory. Not everything that a person did (deceased) or dose (living) needs to be included.  The fact that Monson, Eyring or Uchtdorf took part in a Temple Rededication is a case of WP:RECENTISM.  In the long run no one is going to remember or care.  This is just part of their normal duties.  You wouldn't include a daily breakdown of all the paperwork they do would you?  It seems to me that adding it just isn't something that is needed.--- ARTEST4ECHO (talk) 12:49, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Since I reverted the good faith addition to the Henry B. Eyring article and suggested this related, existing discussion be picked up again, in a place that makes sense to do it, I'll add a comment. I agree with the issues & views raised by Good Ol’factory and ARTEST4ECHO. Also, there isn't an issue about who rededicated the Ogden Utah Temple, that was Thomas S. Monson.

 * (As a sidenote, though it's recognized this isn't related to Uchtdorf's article, since those commenting here may have some thoughts, an interesting issue exists with the Gilbert Arizona Temple from earlier in 2014. In that case, Eyring read the dedicatory prayer at the first session, although Monson was in attendance and presiding.  Monson then read the prayer in later sessions.  The church's newsroom even altered the original headline of their release indicating Monson had dedicated the temple.  It's just a bit unique to have the church's president in attendance, but not have actually performed the dedication.  I think the template still does not identify who dedicated the temple.  ....anyway......)

military service
The article stated Since Uchtdorf faced conscription into the newly formed Bundeswehr, he chose instead to volunteer for the West German Air Force in 1959. This sounds as if Uchtdorf avoided being conscripted into the Bundeswehr by instead volunteering for the West German Air Force. Until the reunification of Germany in 1990, the term "Bundeswehr" applied to the West German armed forces in general, which included 3 service branches (army, air force, navy), and was chiefly staffed by conscripted West German citizens. By comparison, the communist East German armed forces were called "Nationale Volksarmee" (National People's Army) and had 4 service branches (army, air force, navy, border troops). Like most West German conscripts with suitable qualifications, Uchtdorf was allowed to opt for the branch in which to complete his term of service, and he chose the air force. I have therefore replaced the somewhat ambiguous sentence with When Uchtdorf was conscripted into the newly formed Bundeswehr in 1959, he volunteered for the air force, at age 19, to become a fighter pilot.

General Relativity/Covariant Differentiation

<General Relativity

Now that we have established some of the basic of tensor algebra and curved space, lets try to do something within that curved space. We start by taking a derivative. In Einstein notation, taking a derivative looks like

$$ \frac{\partial}{\partial x^j} f (x^i) $$

In the spirit of seeing how things work when we transform coordinates, we convert the coordinates from $$x^i$$ to $$x^{\prime i}$$ by a tensor transformation $$x^{\prime i} = A^i_k x^k$$

So let's figure out what our derivatives look like in our new coordinate system.

$$ \frac{\partial}{\partial x^{\prime j}} f(x^{\prime i}) = $$

$$ \frac{\partial}{\partial x^{k}} f(x^{\prime i}) \frac{\partial x^{k}}{\partial x^{\prime j}} = $$

$$ \frac{\partial}{\partial x^{k}} f(x^{l}) \frac{\partial x^{l}}{\partial x^{\prime i}} \frac{\partial x^{k}}{\partial x^{\prime j}} $$

So if the transform is a constant we get a very nice result.....

The result is much less nice if the transform changes with location, that is to say instead of transform $$A^{i}_{k}$$ we use the transform $$A^{i}_{k} (x^{j})$$

What we have here is a nice part, and a not so nice part. If only there was a way to get rid of the not so nice part. At this point we do an interesting trick and that is to redefine the notion of derivative. Instead of defining derivative as simply the way we do in Euclidean space, we create a new type of derivative called the covariant derivative. The covariant derivative is like the normal derivative, except that we add a "fudge factor" to get rid of the not nice parts of the equation so that the result transforms nicely.

User:Hhawe1/Evaluate an Article

Evaluate an article
This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.

 * Name of article: Little Red Riding Hood (1997 film)
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate.

Lead

 * Guiding questions

Yes, this lead includes an introductory sentence that is short and accurate. It briefly describes the context for the story and provides a cinematography history of the film. The lead is simple, but could be improved by adding the cinematographer for the film, Scott Ramsey.

 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

Content

 * Guiding questions

This content is up-to-date and its information remains relevant to the topic. The specific sentence concerning the huntsman requires more context and/or background information before simply being placed into the article. If the author of this page desires to mention the huntsman, a note to the different adaptations and a reference directed toward the literature value of Kaplan's film would be helpful to the reader in order to maintain relevancy and authenticity.

 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Is the content up-to-date?
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions

This article leans heavily against the innocence of Little Red. I would not consider this article to be neutral, because the author of this page states as fact several scenes in Kaplan's film which are designed to be open to interpretation. The article presents its own analysis for the film despite Wikipedia's policy to remain unbiased. Word choice like "in fact", "even after", and "thus portrayed" are all examples of stating "truth" that is, in actuality, obscure and indefinite.

 * Is the article neutral?
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions

The sources used in this article primarily come from one source of information, IMDb. The link for Timour Bourtasenkov sends the user to an article on the Carolina Ballet, which is the dance studio for which Bourtasenknov works, rather than his own personal site. An improvement on the article would also be to include a citation or link that can direct the user to the movie itself rather than just the film's review cites.

 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
 * Are the sources current?
 * Check a few links. Do they work?

Organization

 * Guiding questions

This article is choppy and incomplete. The sentence structure remains simplistic and basic throughout the entire article. However, there are a few instances where the author tries to use advanced word choice. The article uses words like "androgynous" and "anthropomorphized" to make it seem more educated or give it more academic legitimacy. Unfortunately, the sporadic, sophisticated word choice mixed with the article's basic sentence structure makes its feel disjointed and sound out of place. However, overall the article itself seems to be well-organized and is divided into the correct major sections of Plot, Cast, Reception, ect.

 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
 * Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions

There is one picture used in this article and it is captioned "film poster". While this seems insufficient for an entire article, due to the article's length and its nature, I would argue that this is indeed satisfactory or at the very least reflective of its quality of literature.

 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
 * Are images well-captioned?
 * Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions

There is little to no conversation on this Wikipedia's talk page. It does, however, fit within the guidelines for the WikiProject concerning films. The only complaint on this page was Ekrop 1, who commented on the lack of citation for the article.

 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions

I would say that this article needs a lot of work to be up to Wikipedian standards. Its style of writing ought to be more consistent. There should be less analysis and more presentation of the facts. The citations should be more varied and should direct the user to the primary source, David Kaplan's film. I would argue that this article is poorly developed.

 * What is the article's overall status?
 * What are the article's strengths?
 * How can the article be improved?
 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?

Optional activity

 * Choose at least 1 question relevant to the article you're evaluating and leave your evaluation on the article's Talk page. Be sure to sign your feedback

with four tildes — ~

 * Link to feedback:

Web Design/A small website project

You're ready to create your first small website? Great! This activity aims to help you continue building your HTML and CSS skill-set while working on a fun project!

Who is this activity for? This learning activity is most suited to people who already feel confident with some basic HTML and CSS skills. If not, you may first want to look through the activities of Build a basic web page and/or complete A step-by-step web design project instead.

How does it work? If you're learning together with some other people, this would be a great activity to team up with another person. The idea is that, together with your partner, you:
 * 1) Choose from one of the scenarios below (or add your own scenario!)
 * 2) Plan your initial client contact meeting (some ideas below)
 * 3) If you have a facilitator (or willing friend or local willing business person), conduct your initial interview for the experience!
 * 4) Develop a prototype (on paper or in a graphics program initially) based on the requirements listed below and your initial interview
 * 5) Begin the process of documenting your client requirements (see ideas below)
 * 6) Code the HTML and CSS prototype of your website
 * 7) Present your prototype and completed documentation to your facilitator (or friend or local business person).

Make sure that you choose (or create) a scenario that is of interest to you (it'll help to keep you motivated).

Example scenarios to choose from
Browse through the example scenarios below with your partner and choose a scenario that suits you. You may know a local shop where you could ask permission to take some photos and get some inspiration too. If you go about it the right way (and have some luck on your side) you could even turn this activity into a real client project!

A local Pie shop
Situated along a tourist route, a gourmet pie shop in your local area is keen to build its customer base to include small tour operators who do day trips from a nearby city. Owner: Sandy Harrison

Owners comments:

 * We already do a great trade with the locals with our special coffees and gourmet pies, but there are also loads of small tour operators that drive past here every day. We thought that getting a simple brochure-type website up for the store would enable us to hand out business cards with the web address to tour operators who might be looking for a cosy atmosphere with great food and coffee on a rainy day.

 * I guess if I had to sum up what I wanted people to think of when they looked at the site, it would be the same thing that I'd want them to feel entering our cafe: great coffee, tantalizing food in a classy but comfortable atmosphere. I'd love to chat to someone about what's possible...

A Wedding Cake shop
Scenario:
 * A new designer cake shop in Sydney that knows very little about computers, but wants to take their business online. The main focus of the business is wedding cakes, however they are looking to expand the business to possibly cater for other types of cakes such as birthdays and other Celebrations.

Company: Cakealicious

Owner: June Carter

Owner's comments:

 * Ok we don't know so much about websites but the main things we want would have to be:
 * A easy to update site(wordpress or blog) we would like to keep people up to date with our latest events or plans.
 * Nice look you know make people feel like they want to eat the cakes, but nothing too confusing.
 * Ingredient and Price listings.
 * Contact order form.

 * We make Cakes to Hyderabad for a wide range of people from young to older people some with disability's, so the site has to cater for all these different types for people.

A local veterinarian
Love pets? Then this is the project for you!

A Mail-order CD Business
Company: Mars Cheese Castle Music
 * Scenario: We are a specialist mail order music business supplying CDs and LPs of innovative music to a world wide audience
 * Owner: sundaramoorthy
 * Owner Comments:
 * 1. Site needs to be quick and easy to navigate around.
 * 2. Each individual release needs its own cover image.
 * 3. Needs an Order Form.
 * 4. Needs a Music Club Form (email newsletter, specials etc).
 * 5. Needs to be easy to update.
 * 6. Needs to include postal and email address.
 * 7. Must include MCCM logo.
 * 8. Must use the MCCM existing color palette.
 * 9. Overall the site needs to purvey the MCCM company's policy and image.

Local Chocolate & Coffee Shop
Situated in the main street of Wentworth falls, opposite the railway station, so therefore very easy to access. There are enjoyable walks to several tourist attractions close by, such as; the Charles Darwin walk which features a water whole and beautiful flora and fauna scenery, the Wentworth falls lake if you fancy an experience with native wood ducks.

We sell: Drinks: coffee made from the finest grounds of Arabic coffee beans, a wide range of teas, and soft drinks, juices, and water are served chilled.

Food:

a variety of home made chocolates, a delicious range of cakes and biscuits, home made of course. We also provide nice snacks for your picnics, including sandwiches, pastries, salads, and more.

Requirements for your website
The following requirement are more to do with learning the skills for Build a small website, so be flexible.

On the design side, you should:
 * Create a new prototype on paper or in Photoshop, clearly showing the look-n-feel of the site. Make sure you get lots of feedback from others about this!
 * All images should be optimized for the web.

On the technical side, your project website should:
 * be around 4-6 pages in size
 * be valid HTML (or XHTML) - you choose your doctype.
 * use CSS for your presentation (background images, all aspects of fonts, colors and, where possible, layout)
 * demonstrate a 2-column layout on at least one page (or something that requires you to practice page layout with CSS)
 * include a site navigation that is just a simple list with some great style (see Listomatic for some great examples).
 * include a simple contact form styled appropriately for the site (even though the form may not yet do anything)
 * if possible, a table used to display tabular data, such as a product list or fees and charges table.
 * still function correctly if the stylesheet is disabled (your first taste of accessibility)

Ideas for initial client meeting
Ideally, you will get a chance to do a role-play and actually conduct the interview. You'll need to create the following before conducting your interview:
 * Meeting agenda
 * Do some research to find sites from a similar industry to show your client what is already out there (a competitive analysis). This will also help you familiarize yourself with different ways that the particular industry is using the web.
 * Start with a small list of questions to discuss (add links for resources). The initial items you find out about are:
 * What the actual purpose of the site is (Why will your site exist? Why will people visit your site?)
 * Identify your target audiences (Who do you expect will be viewing your site)
 * Define content requirements (What content do you need to provide to fulfill the purpose of your site for your target audiences?)
 * Make a list of other questions you might want to ask your client in order for you to design the site that meets their needs

Ideas for your client documentation
As this is your first project, it is good to get into some documentation habits that will stand you in good stead for the rest of your web career- be it in the classroom or in the world.

Start by collecting information about your client in a Client File.

For this project, the client file should ideally include the following documents:

1. A copy of your client questionnaire for your first interview.

2. Results of the first interview including the following relevant information:

 * Identify the purpose of website
 * Identify target user audiences
 * Outline of requirements- design issues [fonts, colors, placements, images]
 * Basic site structure diagram- this can be a story board or other visual representation of the site structure

Develop good presentation habits and present your information by including all of the above with:
 * a cover page with a title, your clients contact details and your contact details.

If you're really keen, you might also include:
 * a competitive analysis for your client- include the url's of the sites you showed to your client.

As we progress through the course, we will add more information into the client file.

Jupiter and Antiope

Jupiter and Antiope is a frequent theme in western painting and has been treated by Titian, Van Dyck, Watteau and David among others.

They are based on the story of the seduction of Antiope by the god Zeus in Greek mythology, later imported into Roman mythology and told of the god Jupiter. According to this myth, Antiope, the beautiful daughter of King Nycteus of Thebes, was surprised and seduced by Zeus in the form of a satyr. She became pregnant and bore the twins Amphion and Zethus, who later killed Nycteus' brother Lycus in revenge for his treatment of Antiope and took over the city of Thebes.

Satyr and Nymph
Satyrs and nymphs form two extremes in Greek mythology, which are united only by their instinctive natures. While the nymph was the source of the psychological term nymphomania (now hypersexuality), the satyr was the source of the once common but now outdated term satyriasis and can be understood as the nymph's male equivalent.

Accordingly, both nymphs and satyrs are very regularly depicted in mythology - and thence also in their subsequent artistic reception - in erotic contexts and are accordingly favoured topics of art. In addition there is a clear aesthetic contrast between the two stereotypes. The nymph is in general very beautiful and physically perfect. They were mostly depicted with ivory, light and very delicate colours and an idealised female form, having close similarities with depictions of Venus. On the other hand, the satyrs, who are the followers of Bacchus, are very ugly, with the horns, legs and sometimes the tail of a goat. They are also strong, muscular, and tanned. Thus nymphs and satyrs present an optical contrast, which could hardly be any stronger and which makes them a perfect pair for artistic purposes.

Cross County Mall (Illinois)

Cross County Mall is a shopping mall in Mattoon, Illinois, U.S. It was opened in 1971 with JCPenney, G. C. Murphy, IGA, Arlan's, and Myers Brothers, with Sears joining in 1972. Following the closure of Arlan's in 1973, the space became Kmart one year later. G. C. Murphy became Meis, Elder-Beerman, and then Carson's, while Kmart moved out of the mall in 1993 and became a larger Sears store. The Sears closed in 2014 and became a Rural King in 2019. Following the closures of Carson's and JCPenney in 2018 and 2020 respectively, the mall's anchors are Rural King, Marshalls, Jo-Ann Fabrics, and Dunham's Sports. Rural King also owns the mall.

History
Chahanie Development announced the shopping center in 1967 and began construction in 1969. The first announced tenants were JCPenney, G. C. Murphy variety store, Arlan's discount store, Walgreens, an IGA supermarket, and Kinney Shoes.

Official opening ceremonies were held in October 1971, by which point many stores were already open. Both IGA and a branch of the Springfield, Illinois-based department store Myers Brothers opened on October 27. Sears joined the mall in 1972.

After Arlan's declared bankruptcy in 1973, their store closed and was converted to Kmart the following year. According to mall developers, this made Cross County Mall the first shopping center in the nation to include JCPenney, Sears, and Kmart, then the nation's three largest retailers. G. C. Murphy closed in 1976 and work began that year to convert the space to Meis, a department store based out of Terre Haute, Indiana. The Meis store opened in 1978. The same year, Bergner's purchased the Myers Brothers chain and converted all stores to the Bergner's name.

By 1981, the IGA space on the southeast end of the mall had been vacated, and it was converted into a new mall hallway. This venture proved unsuccessful and by 1988, the mall owners had attempted to turn the space into a food court. At the time, the only food options in the mall were a sandwich shop and a restaurant located inside Kmart, as Walgreens had removed its in-store diner around the same time. The food court was unable to attract restaurants, so the space was converted to an antique mall in 1990.

Meis was bought out by Elder-Beerman in mid-1989. Bergner's closed at the mall after the Christmas 1989 shopping season, due to the space being too small for a full-line department store. Maurices and other stores repurposed the former Bergner's space.

Kmart moved to a larger store outside the mall in 1993; one year later, Sears moved from its existing location to the former Kmart. Soon afterward, the original Sears building became Wolf Furniture. The space was later a medical training center, and became the offices for the city's newspaper. Walgreens moved out of the mall in 2003. In 2011, Elder-Beerman was rebranded as Carson's. In September 2011 Borders Group bookstore closed. Sears closed at the mall in late 2014.

Major tenants in the mall as of 2014 included Jo-Ann Fabrics, Bath & Body Works, Maurices, Christopher & Banks, Claire's, rue21, GNC and Shoe Dept. On March 26, 2016, RadioShack closed its doors.

In 2017, the farming supply retail chain Rural King acquired the mall and announced plans to move a store support center into the former Sears. On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Carson's would be closing on August 31, 2018 as parent company The Bon-Ton Stores went out of business. This left JCPenney as the only traditional anchor until January 16, 2019 when Rural King opened in the former Sears. On July 2, 2018 a new 11 for $10 store opened in the former Hallmark space in the mall and would later close less than a year after being open, closing in June 2019. On July 12, 2018 Rural King announced they would move their Mattoon store into the former Sears location which opened on January 16, 2019.

On August 31, 2018, Super Jumbo Buffet Chinese restaurant closed and was replaced by Scotty's Brewhouse which opened December 10, 2018. This space was briefly tenanted by Scotty’s Brewhouse for almost one year before its doors closed in late 2019. McQuarter's Pub now occupies the space. In the spring of 2019 Payless ShoeSource closed as the company announced it would close all of its locations. Marshalls moved in to the mall and opened November 24, 2019. On March 18, 2020, Glik's returned to the mall and opened in the former 11 for $10 store location.

On December 17, 2020, it was announced that JCPenney would be closing in March 2021 as part of a plan to close 15 stores nationwide.

Just to make it clear: The draft I wrote is a translation of an existing German Wikipedia article https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universitäts-Kinderspital_beider_Basel. After someone published the German article, the company made an English translation in a Word-Document, that they planned to publish on their homepage (http://www.ukbb.ch/en/the-hospital.html) and on the English Wikipedia. As the responsible person was not familiar with Wikipedia, they decided to give the job to me. I embedded the Text of the Word-Document in the Wikipedia-Editor and now the draft is rejected because of unambiguous copyright infringement? If there really is a copyright infringement then it was realised by the company itself, isn't it? Vizzerdrix55 (talk) 12:56, 3 February 2015 (UTC) PAGE''' ]]) 17:55, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

17:33:09, 3 February 2015 review of submission by Lbehrens
My recent article draft on "Virtual Walk Videos" was rejected, because, as the reviewer said, it reads too much like advertising. I disagree with this assessment, but in any case, I am confused as to why the current Wikipedia article on "Virtual Tours," a related topic, is considered acceptable, and mine is not. Perhaps you can help me understand this. Both articles define the subject technology--in the case of virtual walks, an increasingly popular one--and review its use and benefits. I explain where videos of virtual walks may be found but do not endorse any one source over any other. Moreover, my reference sources were not written by any of the makers of this technology and therefore can be considered objective.

I am the co-author of "Writing and Reading Across the Curriculum," one of the most successful and enduring college writing texts ever created; now in its 13th edition, it has been continuously in print since 1982.

Corrupt?
An IP editor has been repeatedly inserting the word "corrupt" into the opening sentence of this article. The artcile indicates that a parliamentary investigation found that the extent of the payments to his son was excessive, and recommended sanctions. That of itself does not provide sufficient grounds for Wikipedia to declare him to be corrupt. There is no mention of a formal allegation that Conway deliberately abused his position, rather than making an error of judgement. A term such as "corrupt" should only be used here if it is backed up - verbatim - in a credible source, which must be cited. Without supporting evidence, not only does it violate Biographies_of_living_persons but also original_research and Neutral_point_of_view. Please read these policies and if you still think it right and necessary to descibe Conway as corrupt please add citations which substantiate the description.

Category:Political scandals in the United Kingdom
User:Ohconfucius removed this category tag, with the edit summary the subject may have been involved in a scandal, but was not himself a scandal. I can't fault the logic of the argument on purely linguistic grounds, but after looking at what the category contains I think this is too literal an interpretation of the category's scope. The category contains many articles which relate to specific people who have been at the centre of scandals; its associated main article, Political scandals in the United Kingdom, has an entry for Conway's paying his sons. It seems perfectly reasonable and consistent, therefore, to categorise the Conway article in this way and so I've re-instated the cat tag. Hope this is an acceptable explanation. -- Timberframe (talk) 11:27, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Arkansas Peace Society

Arkansas Peace Society was a Unionist organization in the state of Arkansas during the American Civil War.

Most Arkansans supported secession, but some, especially in the northern part of the state, remained loyal to the United States. They founded the Arkansas Peace Society in order to protect themselves from forced enlistment and impressment. The organization was destroyed by state troops, but the resistance against the Confederacy remained strong during the whole war. In spite of the state having the third smallest white population in the Confederacy, more white Arkansans enlisted in the Union Army than in any other seceded state, except Tennessee.

Operation Muslim ibn Aqil

Operation Muslim Ibn Aqil (Persian: عملیات مسلم بن عقیل; also spelled Moslem ibn Aghil) was an operation during the Iran–Iraq War which was launched by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian Army with the code of "Ya Abal-Fazl al-Abbas" on 1 October 1982.

The goal of the operation was to capture all heights which were overlooking the town of Mandali, Iraq. Another goal of the operation was to ensure the middle-front borders, secure the liberated Iranian territory, and expel Iraqi forces from the west of Sumar, Iran.

During the operation, Iranian forces were successful in the first stage; their progress rate reduced at the second stage, and eventually they were unable to consolidate their conquered positions.

In the operation which was done in two steps in a seven-day period, 150 km2 of Iranian territory was liberated, and approximately 30 km2 of Iraq was seized by Iranian forces. Meanwhile, as well as ensuring Sumar, the Iranians dominated the Giskeh heights, Kohneh-Rig and straits of Iran-Iraq border. The operation finally finished on 7 October 1982.

Talk:Indonesian/Tenses

Untitled
I've just read the article on tenses and I think it's one of the best explanations of Indonesian tenses I've seen anywhere. I'm a begginner at learning Bahasa Indonesia and I found it very helpful. Very nice work.

editing
I hate to edit something so well written and designed, but the section on Past Perfect seemed to be referring to present perfect, so I've edited it to reflect that.

move to Grammar/Tenses?
Should we move this section to Grammar/Tenses so that there aren't two same topics (Indonesian Tenses)? Benny Lin

confusion of tense and aspect
This section confuses the grammatical concepts of tense and aspect. Aspect markers like sedang/lagi (progressive aspect) and sudah/telah (perfective aspect) should be distinguished from other temporal markers.

Poor article, badly explained and with fake concepts
This book is a total nonsense, it confuses everything. It confuses the declension languages, and the existence of the tenses. Do the authors know what is a language without the past tense? There will be no mean no indicate a past action, no "sudah", no "telah".. The fact that the past is often implied, most of the time, is a different thing. But this article confuses everything and has no ideas about comparative grammar. If the authors know only English and Indonesian, they shouldn't write about comparative grammar, like Indonesian has NO past tenses or other wrong things that a learner will trust without questioning. If there are things to explain, explain them, in details.

Ewald Munschke

Ewald Munschke (born and died Berlin: 20 March 1901 – 21 October 1981) was a General in the East German quasi-military Kasernierte Volkspolizei (People's Police in Barracks) and subsequently one of the creators of the National People's Army.

Between 1930 and 1945, he was a member of the German Communist Party and actively engaged in resisting National Socialism.

Early years
Ewald Munschke was born into a working-class family in Berlin a few weeks after the start of the twentieth century. His father was a stonemason and his mother was a cook. By the time he was twelve his mother was a widow and he was working in Berlin with a large hand cart, delivering drinks to bars and kiosks. This enabled him to contribute three marks each week to the family housekeeping budget. His schooling formally ended after eight years, with his wish to get an apprenticeship unfulfilled. Between 1915 and 1917 he obtained a training of sort, working as a messenger for an insurance company, and also, during this time, working as a building labourer.

In 1917/18 he joined the army and was sent to the Eastern Front where he served as an infantry auxiliary and messenger. He returned to Berlin and worked in a range of jobs, most of them involving the railways. He joined the Transport Workers' Trades Union in 1920, and in 1923 he joined the recently formed German Communist Party, which he later said he had done "out of curiosity". He resigned from the party in 1924, but would later, in 1930, join it again, this time permanently. During the 1920s he held a succession of manual jobs, mostly involving transport or the building trade, but also including a period working as a packer in a soap factory. He participated in the occasional demonstration, but was not particularly active politically before 1930.

Politics and exile
Between 1931 and 1933 Munschke was unemployed. However, having rejoined the Communist Party in 1930 he participated actively in the party's "military-political" apparatus in the Berlin-Brandenburg region during these years. In January 1933 the NSDAP (Nazi party) took power and set about creating a one-party state in Germany. Munschke's Communist Party activities now became illegal and party members were subjected to harassment, assault and, in many cases, arrest followed by imprisonment. In October 1933 Munschke emigrated to the Soviet Union where he would remain till 1936. Between 1934 he was a student at a Comintern Academy in Moscow, also finding the energy to work on construction sites for the Moscow Metro and to undertake agricultural work.

In 1936 Munschke joined the International Brigades to fight for the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War. He started out as a "war commissar" in the multi-national Chapayev-Battalion of the XIII International Brigade. Later, jointly with Anton Ackermann and Franz Dahlem, he headed up a commissars' "party school" in Benicàssim. In 1938, the Party leadership, now in exile, summoned him to Paris in preparation for a posting on behalf of the Communist Party to Czechoslovakia. In the event that posting never came about because Czechoslovakia was surrendered to Germany. Instead Munschke was sent north to Belgium and the Netherlands where he would later become the head of the German Communist group in the country. In 1940 the German army invaded the Netherlands and Munschke became a resistance leader. He quickly mastered the Dutch language to the point where, armed with a forged Dutch passport, he was able to work for the Communist Party under a false identity as a Dutch businessman called Anton Bakker.

Outbreak of peace
The war ended in May 1945 and after nearly twelve years of exile, Ewald Munschke returned in September of the same year to Berlin, where there was no longer anything left of his parents' house. The eastern part of the city was under Soviet control: Munschke re-registered his Communist Party membership and was almost immediately given a job within the local party organisation before being appointed, in April 1946, to a position as Communist Party Secretary in the Berlin Police. He remained with the Berlin police department till 1949. In the meantime the German Communist Party was abolished later in April 1946 as a result of a controversial merger with the more moderately left-wing SPD (party). Within the Soviet occupation zone this established the basis for a return to one-party government. Communist Party members, along with those from the SPD, were invited to sign their membership across to the new SED party, and many did so. Ewald Munschke's own SED Party membership card is dated 1 May 1946. He took a position in the new party's Berlin regional leadership team, later during the decade becoming head of the important personnel department (Kaderabteiling).

National People's Army
In 1949 Munschke switched from local government to national government when he took a position working for the Party Central Committee, again becoming head of the critical personnel department. By 1952 the government and their allies were looking to create an East German Kasernierte Volkspolizei (People's Police in Barracks), a quasi-military police service which is seen, in retrospect, as a precursor to the establishment in 1956 of an East German army. One thing on which the Soviets and their western allies had agreed back in 1945 was that Germany should not have its own army, but after the establishment in 1949 of the German Democratic Republic and the de facto division of what remained of Germany into two separate states, each in one of two competing military alliances, and both German states accommodating several hundred thousand fraternal troops from (respectively) the United States and the Soviet Union, perceived priorities had changed. Both side were quietly preparing to re-introduce national armies into their versions of post-war Germany. In the late summer of 1952 Eward Munschke was surprised to find himself being interviewed by the East German leader, Walter Ulbricht himself. On 1 October 1952, despite never having held any military rank in any national army, Munschke was promoted to the (police) rank of major general, with the job of "Kaderchef", tasked by Ulbricht to select capable and suitable young men ("befähigte und geeignete junge Männer auszuwählen ...") for the new quasi-military police brigade. Munschke's record in the Spanish Civil War and as a resistance operative in the Netherlands during the war, together with his never-questioned loyalty to his country's Communist status quo, had evidently impressed Ulbricht, and he stayed in the post of "Kaderchef" to which he had been appointed by the leader for five years. The position went with a government job as Chief of Cadre administration ( Chef der Verwaltung Kader) in the Ministry for the Interior which was the government department responsible for the police. The National People's Army (NVA / Nationale Volksarmee) was formally founded on 1 March 1956, and this was also the date on which Ewald Munschke was appointed Deputy Minister for National Defence, and the country's first Head of Personnel Administration with the Ministry for National Defence (Chef der Verwaltung Kader beim Ministerium für Nationale Verteidigung). It was largely on the basis of Munschke's approach that the new East German officer class was drawn almost exclusively from the industrial and agricultural working classes.

Final years
In March 1961 Ewald Munschke was publicly and effusively congratulated by Walter Ulbricht on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. That was not so unusual for someone at his level: since the army's creation in 1956 Munschke had sat as a member of the government defence committee, and been a member of the army's leadership circle, but on 31 January 1961 he had resigned from his military post. He now moved on to a position with The Party, serving as President of the Party Control Commission within the central political administration of the People's Army. The party was present and ultimately in control at various levels in every significant institution in the German Democratic Republic, so that Munschke's appointment at the top of the party control apparatus over the army was an important one. In addition, between 1962 and 1971 he was listed as a candidate for membership of the Party Central Committee itself. By 1971, however, he was no longer in a position to become a Central Committee member, having retired on 31 January 1969. He died ten years later.

1988 Holy Cross Crusaders football team

The 1988 Holy Cross Crusaders football team was an American football team that represented the College of the Holy Cross during the 1988 NCAA Division I-AA football season. Holy Cross finished third in the Colonial League, its first non-championship year since league play began in 1986.

In their third year under head coach Mark Duffner, the Crusaders compiled a 9–2 record. Dennis Golden, Rob McGovern, Tom Smith and Jeff Wiley were the team captains.

The Crusaders outscored opponents 334 to 182. Their 3–1 conference record placed second in the six-team Colonial League standings.

The Crusaders were ranked No. 1 in the preseason national Division I-AA rankings, but a 1–2 start dropped them out of the top 20 in the first round of in-season rankings. They remained unranked as they compiled an eight-game win streak to finish the season, but were recognized as No. 19 in the final poll, released after their last game.

Holy Cross played its home games at Fitton Field on the college campus in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Jordan Isaiah (born September 24, 1997), known professionally as JISAIAH, is a South Florida artist and songwriter. He is mainly known for is single "TellThatBoy@Me" which placed on BrainBakeryMagazine's main headline page for 2 months twice in one year as top buzzing artist.

He has released 4 projects since 2018, Nopressure, Indecision LP, Beautiful Madness and most recently Disconneceted, to all have only positive reviews and feedback.

Career
Jisaiah began his career shortly after high school after working with the loop program Soundation and wanting to push his own art, message, and legacy in new ways the year after. jumping from job to job to increase his underground buzz and to sharpen his musical discography. But devastatingly after losing his beloved cousin Malcolm Nicholas the III who was a 5-star basketball recruited athlete in South Florida shot and killed in downtown Florida in 2016, this ultimately pushed him to a grieving nihilistic depression that still lasts to this day but in ways also drove his talents and work ethic to insane new peaks, as we can see throughout is discography.

In Eary 2019, his buzz peaked to where he was invited to open up for a number of big named underground artists such as Tankhead666 of Members only twice, Danny Towers of Members only, Ratchetassroach, Icy Narco, Spaceghostpurpp, Geovonniex, Sad Generation and Godlikegeo. Shutting down every venue with insane energy and unforgettable performances.

What caused Jisaiah's small rise in South Florida was his first single "TellThatBoy@Me" that was made in 2018 and peaked and 7,000 streams (The song recorded on Garageband in his closet), created a small eye of attention in which following an upbeat abstract music video for TTB@M that came soon after.

Star Headline Artist for Brainbakery Magazine twice for the Disconnected Tape in 2019.

Musical Style and Influences
Jisaiah's music is almost incomparable to any usual artist but when we asked him which music styles inspires him most he said the works of Childish Gambino, Jay Z, and Wifisfuneral because of their mentality to never stay stagnant and to excel in all types of genres of rap and alternatives. "As a kid growing up all I remember is listening to Outcast and Jay Z then years later in middle school being compelled by the styles and image of J. Cole", says jisaiah. His musical talents show prominently with each project he seems to release and with each project that appeals to a different wide audience every release.

Funeral Support Payment

Funeral Support Payment is a benefit delivered by Social Security Scotland. The benefit is aimed at reducing funeral poverty in Scotland by providing people who receive certain benefits or tax credits with a payment that can be used to help pay funeral costs, burial or cremation costs, travel costs, and medical costs.

The amount of each payment is dependent upon which local authority the person who died resided in. If the person who died left any money or had an insurance policy, this can also impact the total amount paid.

Origin
Social Security Scotland was established in April 2018 following the Social Security (Scotland) Act 2018. Social Security Scotland delivers certain areas of social security policy that was devolved to the Scottish Parliament after the Scotland Act 2016.

Funeral Support Payment
On 16 September 2019, Funeral Support Payment replaced the UK's funeral payment in Scotland. The benefit widened the eligibility of the UK's funeral payment, allowing more people to apply for it. It also increased the flat rate of the payment to take into account inflation.

Eligibility
To be eligible for Funeral Support Payment, the person applying must be in receipt of one of the following benefits:

 * Universal Credit
 * Child Tax Credit
 * Working Tax Credit
 * Income Support
 * Pension Credit
 * Housing Benefit
 * Income-based Jobseekers Allowance (JSA)
 * Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)

The person applying for the payment must also be responsible for the costs of the funeral. Further to this, the person who died must have lived in the UK and the application can be made from their date of death, up to 6 months after the funeral.
