DJ Drama's Ethnicity
DJ Drama is categorized as black, but he appears to be white.

Looking at him, his skin is obviously white, but you don't have to have black skin to be African American. He is probably half or less black, his name is Tyree Cinque Simmons after all. Planetstasiak 00:41, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

His Father is African-American and his mother is white.

Talk:Middleton Railway

Earliest Railway Date
Tanfield in county Durham claims 1725 ? BulldozerD11 (talk) 19:29, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

History
This article appears to jump from early history to section about being 1st preservation railway, was this change due to Beeching ?, was the company nationalised in the mid part of the history ? More info would help to then add an info box, or may be 2 as really 2 companies - BulldozerD11 (talk) 11:25, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Have just expanded the article a bit. I've done a bit of work on the Middleton Railway's website so had plenty of material to hand. Hope the gap from the beginning of steam to the beginning of preservation seems filled now. I also updated the website links that were on the Motive Power section, we redesigned the website about a year or two back so most of the links to various sections were broken. Krisward42 (talk) 15:44, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Middleton Light Railway
The Middleton Light Railway is NOT the Middleton Railway, I don't know why it redirects here. The Middleton Light Railway was a tramway built by Leeds Corporation in 1925.--J3Mrs (talk) 20:02, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you check out the Clarence Dock (Leeds) article which is the only one that uses the redirect to see if what it says is valid. Keith D (talk) 22:28, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to take so long in getting back to you, the link now says Middleton Steam Railway, I think Middleton Railway is it's title. Another related point, the first Middleton locomotive was Salamanca, not "the Salamanca", well according to the Middleton Railway's own history. I don't know how to correct this without it turning to a town in Spain, perhaps someone does. --J3Mrs (talk) 12:28, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

 * The article can be moved from its current name of The Salamanca to something like Salamanca (locomotive) if you think that is better. You can then pipe the link to hide the dab or you could leave where it is and just pipe the link. Keith D (talk) 16:42, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

I think it probably would be better but as I have little idea what the explanation you give means, sorry I will leave the technicalities entirely up to you. Thank you for taking an interest. I don't suppose you are any good at loading pictures from geograph to the commons:) It seems beyond me completely. There are some excellent pictures of the Middleton Light Railway by Dr Neil Clifton especially this one It would make an excellent addition to the Middleton articles.--J3Mrs (talk) 18:37, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

 * It looks like an IP user has been round putting in the pipe links to hide "The" on the uses in articles, I thought that it may be you who had not logged in but obviously someone who is just watching what is going on. I will leave it as it is rather than moving the page and fixing the links again. I have uploaded the image for you, see File:Middleton Tram.jpg, so you can put it in the page wherever you wish.

Rico Beats

Ricardo Lamarre, known professionally as Rico Beats, is an American record executive, record producer, and songwriter. His most notable production credits are DJ Khaled's "Take That Off", Nicki Minaj's "Roman Reloaded", Soulja Boy's "Mean Mug", Iggy Azalea's "Comme Des Garcons" and Pusha T's "Exodus 23:1".

He previously co-managed the late American rapper Pop Smoke with American record executive Steven Victor.

Career
In 2004, Rico decided he wanted to be a record producer when he was in college. Once he heard Needlz produce "Bang Bang" by Young Buck so he started following his work, and it turned out that they had a mutual friend, so he was introduced and it went from there. He really admired Needlz and bought the same equipment as him so that he could recreate his sound as best he could. Rico started using Needlz was using Logic at the time, and he saw his success with that but felt like it took too long to make a beat on there, so decided that he'd rather do his own thing with Ableton. He got into using Ableton because most people were using Fruity Loops and Logic Pro, so he started messing with Ableton to stand out and be different.

In 2010, he produced the song "Mean Mug" on Soulja Boy's album The DeAndre Way. Rico wanted to work on Nicki Minaj's first album, Pink Friday beat he missed out because he was working with Soulja Boy at the time. Nicki's manager, called Rico to send some beats when they started working on Nicki's second album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. He didn't have any beats at the time he called, so he made fifty beats within the next month and "Roman Reloaded" was the one Nicki ended up keeping. In January 2012, Rico was working in a studio in Los Angeles, trying to get more music on her album. She went there and played a snippet of "Roman Reloaded", but it wasn't finished yet. The full version of the song was released on February 24.

In 2013, Rico produced Pusha T's controversial "Exodus 23:1" which was diss to Drake. Lil Wayne was not too happy with the diss, yet his name never came up during the recording process. Rico told MTV News that the Young Money label was the last thing on their minds. He said, "Honestly, when we were in the room listening to that record, I didn't hear none of these guys' names brought up. It was none of that. Dream got in his zone and he went in the booth. Pusha got his pen, like I didn't hear nobody mentioned. Pusha kept tellin' me, I need something dark, man. The album sounds crazy, but I still need somethin' for my fans. So I was like, 'I got you, give me by six o' clock,' I went down to the studio and I was just listening to Biggie. I was just playin' pure Biggie.

Rico has already produced two tracks for Jadakiss's next album and one of them is going to feature rapper Jeezy. Rico is also working with Sean Kingston, Fabolous, Jay Z, and Jennifer Lopez just picked out one of his beats to use, but doesn't really know what to do with it yet.

Instructional design/Cognitive behaviors/Concept Classification, Page 2

Back to Topic: Instructional Design > Cognitive Menu

Overview
This section of the lesson deals with how concept classification is learned. A learner proceeds through four phases when learning concept classification:

 * Prototype formation
 * Discrimination
 * Generalization
 * Algorithm development

First, though, let's consider the importance of prior knowledge for learning concept classification.

Prior knowledge
Robert Gagné (1985) has shown that the skill of applying a concept always has some "prerequisite" skills, skills which must be mastered before it is possible to learn any given classification skill. Those prerequisites are the critical (and sometimes variable) characteristics, which are concepts in their own right. This is a principle of learning which has important implications for the instructional strategies that will be helpful for teaching concept classification.

Prototype formation
Consider for a moment your knowledge of concepts. When someone says "dog" to you, what goes on in your mind? Think about it for a minute...

You probably form an image of a dog in your mind, right? What is that dog like? What color is it? It doesn't really have any color, does it? How big is it? About average height for a dog, right? Unless you have a beloved dog of your own, your image is not of one specific dog. Rather it is of a prototype (which literally means pattern or model). It concentrates on the characteristics common to all dogs and tends to ignore the characteristics which vary across dogs, such as color and size and length of hair. Robert Tennyson has shown that prototype formation is probably the first phase of learning to apply a concept. This is our first principle of learning for concept classification.

Once a prototype has been formed, we must learn how dogs vary: that they can be different sizes, colors, shapes, and so on. So, we must learn to generalize beyond the prototype. But the other side of that coin, according to Sue Markle and Phil Tiemann, is learning ways that dogs cannot vary. So we must learn to discriminate them from nondogs.

Discrimination
All dogs have certain characteristics in common, such as being mammals, having a certain type of teeth, a certain type of diet, a certain range of body shapes, and so on. These are called common characteristics. Some of them are easily visible (e.g. body shape) and some of them are not (e.g. diet). Hence, some common characteristics are useful for classifying an animal as being a dog or not, and others aren't. The ones which are useful are called critical characteristics. They are what you need to learn to discriminate dogs from nondogs. This is our second principle of learning for concept classification.

Generalization
Dogs also have certain characteristics which vary from one dog to another, such as their color, size, and so on. These are called variable characteristics. They are what you need to learn to generalize across all kinds of dogs. This is a third principle of learning for concept classification. Generalization across variable characteristics and discrimination on the basis of critical characteristics are very important aspects of learning to apply concepts. But it is helpful to keep in mind that variable characteristics can have different degrees of variability. Some can be common to almost all of the members of the concept class, while others can be very rare in any of them. The ones that are common to most can sometimes be very useful for classifying. Almost any concept can be broken down into kinds (called "subordinate concepts"), and each of those kinds represents what Joseph Scandura calls a different "equivalence class." The different equivalence classes are sometimes called "dimensions of divergence."

Algorithm formation
Some concepts are quite complex. That is, they have many critical characteristics. This can make learning to classify very difficult. Lev Landa has identified a technique which people learn to facilitate the process. They develop an algorithm, or procedure, to follow. It is likely to be something like this:

First look to see if it has such-and-such. If it doesn't, it is not a widget. But if it does, look to see if it has either a whatsit or a whosie. If it has neither, then it is not a widget. But if it has either one, then look to see if. . ..

Learning to apply a concept always entails learning an algorithm, but for simple concepts the algorithm has just one step. This is our fourth principle of learning for concept classification. Incidentally, "experts" are usually unaware of the algorithm they use.

Given all these principles for concept learning, how should one teach a concept classification task?

De Dins Square

De Dins Square (en: Indoor Square) in Alcoy (Alicante), Valencian Community, was built in the mid-19th century. It is a neoclassical set of trapezoidal ground with arches of half point on lower floors which leads to ten buildings that compose it, built in the space of the cloister of the old convent of San Agustín.

Square following the typology of colonnaded main squares that originated in Spain in the 17th century and which were developed by academics in the reuse of spaces of the convents acquisition in the 19th century.

The ground floor unit and built in stone, is framed by arches and pilasters in some buildings, while in other trades fall directly to the square. The high floors for dwellings, have heights of cornice and composition of different facades, varying between four and five storeys, the remaining unit to the urban image.

Portal talk:Internal medicine

I am planning on starting contributions to the school, as is my partner. If anyone wants to start laying out specific needs, that would be great.Palmd001 16:05, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I've started a Category:Internal Medicine Interest Group to help with development.--PalMD 19:08, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Welcome! Broadly speaking, here we are trying to develop viable online learning communities around online learning resources. Personally, I think the possibilities are endless, but a good rule of thumb is to first develop materials that you are most interested in. Please feel free to add whatever educational materials you see fit. It's always great to come across new users with such enthusiasm! --HappyCamper 19:18, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Goals
--PalMD 18:20, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * What material should be included in IM? Links to other Wiki resources? Original articles? Modified articles?
 * What level(s) should we speak to? Lay public? Internists? Med Students?

 * This first rule is that Wikiversity editors should have fun. For some of us, part of having fun is being efficient. Here at the start of the Wikiversity project, some of our efforts towards being efficient should involve building the project in ways that make it easy for additional people to get involved. What can we do that will attract more editors to Wikiversity? I suspect that the vast majority of people who come to Wikiversity come here by way of Wikipedia. There is an effort at Wikipedia to create encyclopedia articles that are "middle of the road". Often this results in articles that are to complex and full of jargon for some readers while at the same time not being detailed enough for others. Are there any approaches to creating Wikiversity content for medical topics that can serve both non-experts and medical students? In my experience, Evidence-based medicine is a topic that needs learning resources targeted to both "the man on the street" and medical students. Wikipedia could benefit from having learning resources at Wikiversity that Wikipedians could use in order to be able to do a better job of creating evidence-based Wikipedia articles. I think we should select health-related topics that are in the news and create learning resources at Wikiversity that can help people sort through the evidence related to those topics. As we create such resources, we can make links to them from the related Wikipedia pages. This will attract more participants to Wikiversity and with time Wikiversity will come to have useful learning resources for all medical topics. As we go along, we can put textbook material at Wikibooks. Hopefully Wikiversity can be a place for people to get involved with learning projects that allow them to investigate medical topics they are interested in and sort good information from the junk science that too often gets thrown around by special interest groups. --JWSchmidt 20:19, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I am trying to imagine where we are going with this as far as what will differentiate this space from WP. For one thing, there will be (probably) an emergent organization to the material here that will help bundle it differently than on WP.  The articles that parallel WP articles will be ?very different.  I guess we will wait and see.  --PalMD 21:51, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * My thinking goes like this.....Wikiversity should have learning resources for people of all ages. There might be millions of adolescents who need good information about Sexually Transmitted Diseases. The Wikipedia article on STDs might not provide the kind of introduction to the topic that is needed by young teens and the Wikipedia article is not crafted as a learning resource for medical students either. Wikiversity can point to the Wikipedia article as a resource, but also develop pages for the topic that are targeted to specific audiences that are not adequately served by the single article at Wikipedia. --JWSchmidt 22:11, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Many med students and residents (and attendings) use pda-based or paper pocket guides for everyday reference. Perhaps many of the articles here could aim at that audience? Yet, be well-enough linked and un-jargonized enough for a wider audience?PalMD 20:16, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Learning towards a qualification

This page is set up to help you learn, gather evidence and demonstrate your skills as they relate to a particular qualification in your country. Learning to learn is a skill that we need to continue developing throughout life and the more that we, the learners, manage our own learning the better prepared we are for learning on job or at home!

This is not, of course, an excuse to let any classroom facilitators off the hook (if we are in a formal class)! It will actually make their job more challenging—but they'll be better off for it! They are there for a variety of reasons, such as to:
 * support us in our learning (and especially developing our learning skills),
 * help us understand and learn towards our chosen qualification or skill-set,
 * provide exciting and relevant classroom learning experiences,
 * teach us from their own professional knowledge where appropriate,
 * connect us with real professionals in our industry where available,
 * formally assess our skills (even though it's great to assess our own skills too!)

The key is, the more initiative that we take to manage our own learning, the better we will become at learning beyond our qualifications—which is one of the most essential skills for life!

The resources and tips below have been written to help you better understand your qualification and develop your skills of managing and demonstrating your learning towards a qualification. If this all seems a bit daunting at first, you might ask your classroom facilitator to ease you into the process over the first term of your learning.

Understanding your qualification
The most important thing is to familiarise yourself with your qualification! You should have access to a list of all the units (or subjects or whatever they are called in your country) that are included. At first, just read through the list a few times—you might like to highlight the ones that sound interesting, or mark the ones that you don't understand from the title.

Once you're familiar with the names of the units, choose the two or three that interested you and delve a bit deeper into what they are about. You will need access to information on the individual units or subjects to do this. For example, if you are undertaking an Australian IT qualification, you can browse all the units from the IT training package (or any other package) on the Training Packages Unwrapped website. Or alternatively, you can search for the unit using the official National Training Information Service's search functionality. Don't worry if you get lost in the details, the point at this stage is just to familiarise yourself with where you can find the information about each unit for your qualification in your country.

Finally, make sure that you have a list of all the required units for your qualification in a table with space to write when you start learning a particular unit as well as when you successfully demonstrate the requirements for that unit (create one yourself if you don't have one already.) This table is going to be your summary or roadmap displaying how far towards completing your qualification you are at any point. Grab a plastic-sleeve folder (or whatever is appropriate for you) and pop this in the front of you folder as your Qualification Summary page (we'll be filling in the details below).

Choosing a group of units to focus on
As you are probably new to the qualification that you are studying towards, it will be a little bit difficult for you to choose which units to focus on initially. Seek out some help from your facilitator or mentor or just a knowledgeable friend to identify two or three units to focus on initially. It's best if these units complement each other (i.e. they are best learned them together)

Once you have chosen your initial units, you'll need to find out more detailed information of what each unit is about. You might choose to read the official documents, but don't worry if you come away confused—in most countries the official documents are written not with the learner in mind, but the assessor (and it's often not easy even for assessors to understand!)

Learner guides... add to your folder for your reference.

Planning your learning with help...

Even though you might be focusing on a few units, good to get bigger picture with introductions to other areas bit by bit (especially the harder areas)...

Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills
The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better—that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills (activities, small projects, journal/blog entries etc.), the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills. Furthermore, it's highly unlikely that you'll be able to provide one piece of evidence demonstrates all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Creating or getting your hands on evidence sheets... (see picture). You should be collecting for each unit that you focus on a learner guide and an evidence sheet...

An Example
You've been learning HTML and CSS over the past few months by following some online tutorials (such as HTMLDog's tutorials) and applying your learning with exercises (such as the HTML Challenges or CSS challenges) and a small example website about your favourite band that you've created to apply your skills as you learn. You decide to start documenting your evidence for the Australian unit of competence ICAB4135A Create a simple mark-up language document to specification (official document for ICAB4135). On the Evidence Sheet, you list the HTML and CSS Challenges as one piece of evidence, and your small band website as another.

As you read through the individual criteria, you tick the boxes next to many (but not all) of the criteria indicating which piece of evidence demonstrates the criteria (with a brief notes of how/where your evidence demonstrates). Your website does not demonstrate any HTML tables or image maps (Criteria 4.1 and 4.2), but luckily you have demonstrated your ability to create both of these as part of the HTML Challenges. You've now got evidence for all the criteria except "Determine the uses and audience of the document" (criteria 1.1) and "Determine relevant document structure" (criteria 1.3). You're not sure whether the small band website that you've created really meets these criteria, as you didn't even think about the target user audience when you created it—you just wanted to demonstrate the things you were learning—so you put a question mark against these points.

You decide to wait until you've started your next small client project before taking your evidence for assessment, as this will definitely demonstrate the missing 2 criteria, and will provide even more evidence for all the other criteria.

Talk:How To Assemble A Desktop PC

Overclocking AND UNDERCLOCKING?
I noticed that there was nothing about Underclocking in the Overclocking section - not everybody wants to overclock, as some of you should know. I think it would be appropiate to add some stuff about underclocking (which, if I'm correct, is basically overclocking with a few different steps in - nevertheless, someone might get confused, etc.)

Also, if we do decide to put more information about underclocking a CPU in the same section as Overclocking, should we change the title of that section to "Overclocking/Underclocking"? --Aurora98 (talk) 03:00, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

About the merge
Ok, but why the book main page threatens with merge suggestion message? --Derbeth talk 16:52, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

 * The Computer Hardware book may have a bit more to offer than the How To Assemble A Desktop PC for computer harware but How To Assemble A Desktop PC is better overall. The merger is to move Computer Hardware into this book and not the other way round. Klingoncowboy4 19:05, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It makes no sense to merge this article with computer hardware. The two subjects are completely different. Building a desktop computer deals with only internal hardware, not external hardware. It would cause confusion to put a subject completely about internal hardware and assembly into an article that deals with both internal and external hardware.
 * I don't think that they should put computer hardware into this because it is not really about learning all about hardware, it is about learning how to build a computer and it might get you off track and thinking about something else. Studyfreak101
 * The merge proposal is from August 2006, nearly coming on 3 years ago now. If hasn't happened yet I think its safe to say it isn't going to happen now. Besides it makes zero sense, there scopes and audiences are entirely different. I'm going to remove the merger tags now. --dark lama  22:23, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Image copyrights
Should we ask Mark Headrick for permission to copy his pictures and instructions ? Mark Headrick http://www.abbeyclock.com/computer.html

 * I'm not sure what contry he is in, but in America, anything is copyrighted once it is made. So we must ask him if we want to use it.

 * Those pictures would make a nice addition to this guide, so I don't see why it would hurt to ask him. Howerver, when I make a computer this summer, I plan on talking plenty of pictures. Reub2000 06:28, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Featured book
This is almost featured book!--Kozuch (talk) 23:24, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Only if you want to hold it up as an example of bad writing and bad editing. I examined a few sections on component selection and made some edits. The style, syntax, punctuation and grammar are just plain awful.  There are serious errors in terminology and unexplained use of jargon and acronyms.  Some topics are poorly covered, if at all.  One only sees publications of this low quality in the self-published genre, not from reputable publishing houses. —QuicksilverT @ 07:26, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

ESD
should add more detail (and be more specific) about what components can be damaged (MB, CPU, RAM, GPU, etc...) and the ones that can't be damaged (ODD, HDD, PSU, LCD, etc...)

should also add info about Static "Prone" Clothing and what "Discrete Electronic Components" are - normal people (like me) don't know this kind of stuff (the reason why I am writing all of this) AND DON'T LEAVE OPEN-ENDED ANSWERS! you aren't liable for the information as long as you provide references (yeah, I hate talking to techies because they ALWAYS do that - just because they don't actually know anything)

the one thing I hate about this WikiBook, is that it's way too "hollow" - need some "solid" information here

PCBs & ICs (MB, CPU, RAM, GPU, etc...) about how if they are enclosed (Electro Static Discharge safe), they are protected - and if they are exposed (Electrostatic Sensitive Device), they are not protected

and that the correct method/technique for handling PCBs and ICs is to hold them by the edges/sides

 * also how, many manufacturers of RAM are now making them encased in what appears (atleast to me) to be some kind of ESD protection - it's actually a heatsink/cooling-system

 * Graphics Cards (GPU) are also sold with their own cooling system - this provides ESD protection to one side of it (lower side to bring cool air up - hot air rises)

 * I hope you're not trying to contribute to this project, if what you wrote here is an example of your style. It looks positively psychotic! —QuicksilverT @ 07:30, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

 * On the contrary, I hope this "<IP_ADDRESS>" person makes many valuable contributions to this project. I'd rather have much good information in a oddball style than a perfectly-styled "book" with hardly any useful information. Get the information first, and then worry about style later.

Economic Classroom Experiments/The Twenty-Pound Auction

On February 7th, 2007 at the FDTL conference in Bristol, Todd Kaplan ran auction for a real £20 note as part of a 7 minute presentation. It was great fun. It is very quick to run and easy to set up.

Procedures
Pass out slips of paper or post-its to record bids. Announce that you are auctioning off a £20 note to the highest bidder. Ask them to write their name and their bid on the slip of paper or post-it provided. The winner will be the one with the highest bid with ties broken randomly. Collect bids and pay winner.

Required Time
Announcement of rules: 1-2 minutes. Collecting bids: 1-2 minutes. Counting bids: 2-3 minutes. Announcement of winner (and payment): 1 minute. Discussion: varies.

Materials

 * a £20 note.
 * Post-its or slips of paper.
 * Change to pay the difference to the winner.
 * A plastic bag to collect the bids (helpful, but not necessary).

Results
Tony (from UCL) won the auction with a bid of £20.01. (Todd made a penny!) Tony said that he got twenty pounds worth of money and one penny worth of fun.

Todd's money wasn’t too much at risk. Of the twenty bids (including two with missing names), seven were above £17.5 and five of those above £19. See the following histogram for the bids.

Discussion
This is called a first-price sealed-bid auction since bids are sealed and the winner pays his bid. It can be described as a common value auction since everyone has a common value to winning (as opposed to private values). Equilibrium theory would predict that as long as there are 2 or more bidders the price would be £20 (or even £19.99). This is because that if the highest bid X were below this, then another bidder would have incentive to bid X+£0.01 and make a profit. Theory tended to work well here. From this, you can see that Todd put my money where my mouth was. Todd's faith in the economic behaviour of the audience was high enough to risk losing cash (not to mention the potential embarrassment). This also mirrors what is called (Bertrand) price competition where the consumer buys from the lowest price firm. There the firms are like the bidders and the consumer is like the auctioneer. In this case, competition should drive out profits from the industry in a similar manner to profits being driven out of the auction. This also leads us to competition, cooperation, and collusion. While there are many firms/bidders, the profits are low. Would we expect this to happen with only two bidders?

Finally, what happens if we relax our assumption about it being a common value auction? This can happen if people like Tony place different values to winning the auction for instance there is a psychological aspect to winning. If people know for sure their psychological value to winning then they would enjoy some profit and could bid below their true value. However, if these are only estimates to the enjoyment, then there could be what is called a winner’s curse and the one that wins it may be prone to paying too much and regretting it later. As you can see, there is a lot to this simple game.

Tips

 * 1) Probably, the higher the denomination the better this would work. (Slightly higher risk for the lecturer).
 * 2) You can use it to demonstrate other auction rules such as English (open call) or 2nd –price sealed-bid (the winner is the one with the highest bid and pays the second highest price).
 * 3) If the winning bid is much less than £20 pounds, you can mention prior results or run it again.
 * 4) While there are no guarantees, I imagine with 10 or more people you are pretty safe not losing much money.
 * 5) As pointed out to me, make sure you say the bid should be in pound Sterling not just pounds (one can bid in pounds of carrots). You may also want to require bids to be above or equal to zero.
 * 6) While it doesn’t take long to see who is the winner (a minute or two), you may want to have someone else quickly go through the bids to find the winner and announce it at a convenient time later. Alternatively, wait for a break to collect the bids to save time and continue with my presentation.
 * 7) Pass out the Post-its or slips of paper beforehand.
 * 8) Stress that this is for real money (the note is real).
 * 9) You can use one of the coins from your change to break a tie.

Tourism/Planning

Meaning of Planning
Planning is the dynamic process of determining goals, systematically selecting alternative courses of actions to achieve those goals, implementing the chosen alternatives and evaluating the choice to determine if it is successful. The planning process regards the environment which includes political, physical, social and economic elements as interrelated and interdependent components which should be taken into account in considering the future of a destination.

Reasons for Tourism Planning
This guidance, to be read alongside national planning policies, is designed to:

* ensure that planners understand the importance of tourism and take this fully into account when preparing development plans and taking planning decisions * ensure that those involved in the tourism industry understand the principles of national planning policy as they apply to tourism and how these can be applied when preparing individual planning applications and * ensure that planners and the tourism industry work together effectively to facilitate, promote and deliver new tourism development in a sustainable way

PHP Programming/Configuration: Register Globals

What is Register Globals?
A common security problem with PHP is the  setting in PHP's configuration file. This setting (that can be either On or Off) tells whether or not to register the contents of the EGPCS (Environment, GET, POST, Cookie, Server) variables as global variables. For example, if  is On, the url   will declare   as a  with no code required. Similarly,  would also be defined, since it is part of the   'superglobal' array. These two examples are the equivalent of placing the following code at the beginning of a script:

This feature is a great security risk, and you should ensure that  is Off for all scripts (as of PHP 4.2.0 this is the default, and as of 5.4.0 the setting has been removed completely). It's preferred to go through PHP Predefined Variables instead, such as the superglobal $_REQUEST. Even more secure is to further specify by using: $_ENV, $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, or $_SERVER instead of using the more general superglobal $_REQUEST.

Example
Let's say that this PHP code is on the receiving end of a form. The user has just entered an incorrect password. The $_POST array variable handles it. The code will describe that if the password is correct ("correct password" being, let's say, "12345"), the variable $admin will be set to TRUE. The site's configuration says that if $admin is set to TRUE, that user will have administrative privileges. This code is PHP5 compatible.

register_globals does not discriminate between $_POST variables and $_GET variables. So, suppose the user input the form and it took him or her to that above page. The user could decide that he or she deserves admin privileges even though they do not know the password. So, that user could append ?admin=1 to the URL of that page. What that would do, with register_globals On, would be to force the creation the variable $admin and automatically set the value to 1, making it equivalent to TRUE. So register_globals On allows the user to inject variables and values into the program! Here, whether or not they input the correct password, the user would now have administrative privileges just by doing something with the URL.

As you can see, this sort of situation can happen at anytime by someone who does enough thinking to figure out how the page was coded. It could happen in many other situations.

Another example is that of sessions. When register_globals = on, we could also use $username in our example below but again you must realize that $username could also come from other means, such as GET (through the URL).

Best Practices
The best way to avoid it is to make sure that register_globals is set to Off in your php.ini. But as a general coding recommendation, always initialize your variables. The following code makes a small addition to the previous code example, but first sets $admin to FALSE so that the user cannot get administrative privileges except via the conditional statement:

filter_input
As the superglobal array access is vulnerable to the , for security reasons, it's better to use the syntax with  :

 * Symbol voting keep.svg Should be good now. Abyssal (talk) 03:59, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I'm going to substitute one of the "not yet" ticks (I can never remember which is which, exactly) because I really think the article needs more work -- it needs to be clearer that this is a hoax. I don't usually worry too much about article quality at DYK -- it's supposed to be new content -- but this is a bit too embarrassing for WP. EEng (talk) 15:37, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * It says it's a hoax in the first sentence... Abyssal (talk) 18:30, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Actually, it says that the Borghild Project was "the subject of a hoax", as if it's a real thing about which a hoax was perpetrated. Later it says it was "called into question", as if there's some doubt. The final section is headed "Evidence for a hoax", again as if there's some question. And the hook itself uses that phrasing again, "the existence of this project has been called into question". And who "hailed" it? -- there are only two sources in the whole article, so who did the hailing?

(later...) From what I can tell after looking into this briefly is that a short comedic film was make in 2009, The Borghilde Project (note the spelling) and everything comes from that. It doesn't appear to have been a hoax, in that no one I can see was trying to fool anyone -- maybe it's a meme? I don't know, but since both the article, and the sources it uses, don't even seem aware of the film there's something seriously wrong in the presentation. I'm sorry to seem harsh but while it's OK for an article to have gaps, this really leaves the reader with a complete misimpression of the nature of this ... whatever it is. EEng (talk) 19:53, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Ktr, do you have the Ferguson book? If so, what are the cites behind footnotes 1, 2, 3, and 4 starting on page 24? EEng (talk) 23:20, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I do, and it's right here. Can you not see it? Kevin Rutherford (talk) 14:27, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I can see the text, but not the footnotes (nos 1,2,3,4). I'd like to know what they say. I hope you don't think I'm being troublesome, but I just want to make sure that we get straight the hoax vs. serious aspect, and if it's actually a hoax, where it came from. EEng (talk) 15:24, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Good faith has nothing to do with this -- we need to sort out the apparent conflict of sources. As it happens I've just arrived in Boston so I'll look up this unusual tome in the next few days. EEng (talk) 22:32, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
 * To the library tomorrow. How embarrassing it will be to turn in this call slip... EEng (talk) 04:56, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Um, a funny thing happened on the way to the library. Stand by... EEng (talk) 16:41, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

 * This nomination is four months old today, the article has not been edited for two months, and the issue of whether this is actually a hoax or not has been hanging for over a month and a half. Can we please have a status report? If the discrepancy between sources can't be solved soon, perhaps it's time to close this as a good try, but unsuccessful. If interlibrary loan hasn't been tried to get the book yet, Kevin might want to try it. Unfortunately, it's too late for this to be eligible for April Fools. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:48, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
 * OK, OK, OK, it's my fault. Tomorrow, I promise. EEng (talk) 16:00, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

 * OK, I've reviewed everything, including the Ferguson book, and here's what's going on. First of all, there's is no question that this is a hoax -- it's not "called into question", it's just plain a hoax. The question then becomes: is it a notable hoax (or maybe some kind of meme). And the answer to that, IMO, is No. Only one source (Ferguson) actually recognizes that it's a hoax -- the rest (Huffington Post, Graeme Donald, Daily Mail, Herald Sun) are credulous sources that were taken in. A hoax noticed by only a single source can't be called notable. I think ultimately this article should go to AfD (sorry) but we can afford to wait a while to see if can come up with more sources establishing notability as a hoax.
 * In the meantime it certainly can't be a DYK. Make no mistake... I take no delight in this. I'd love to run a droll, suggestive hook (see Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Dr._Young%27s_Ideal_Rectal_Dilators), but barring new sources I don't think it can happen. EEng (talk) 03:11, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Evaluate an existing Wikipedia article related to the class, and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's talk page.
 * A few questions to consider (don't feel limited to these):
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference?
 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article?
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?

-

Resources: Evaluating Wikipedia,

Week 3

 * Add 1–2 sentences of new information, backed up with a citation to an appropriate source, to a Wikipedia article related to the class.

Week 4

 * Identify an article that would benefit from illustration, create or find an appropriate photo, illustration, or audio/video, and add it to the article.
 * All media uploaded to Wikipedia must fall under a "free license," which means they can be used or shared by anyone. Examples of media you can use are photos that you take yourself, images and text in the public domain, and works created by someone else who has given permission for their work to be used by others.

Peer Review (Ecology Assignment)
Awesome article. Easy to read, yet informative and interesting.

Keep up the good work!

Further feedback
I have corrected what I perceived as misleading information on this species' distribution. Based on the IUCN reference, I don't think it was correct to state just that it is native to the US and is found in the Great Lakes. Key features are that it is endemic to the US, and I have added the full list of states given in that reference. I wouldn't normally bother to give feedback of this sort (and would simply just correct the article). However, as this looks to be a school/college assignment I'd urge the page creator to be careful in future not to mislead by omission, especially when the full information is readily available and already cited. Once a Wikipedia page gets past New Page Review, it gets picked up and repeated by many other websites, so amplifying any errors or omissions of this sort.

Do consider adding a line about its habitat (found in the IUCN redlist reference, and perhaps add its IUCN status of 'Least Concern' to the speciesbox. Don't forget to fix the category issue (often best done by seeing what categories have been used on the pages of similar species). And you'll note it also has a synonym (Anodonta lacustris) which should be added to the speciesbox. Well done for making your first edits here - hope to see much more from you in the future!).

History of Quebec and Canada/Study Guide/Topic 1: Factors Affecting Settlement

Which factors affected the first settlements of New France?

Economic Factors It was the fur trade which first attracted the French to the St. Lawrence River Valley. Champlain founded the first permanent settlement at Québec in 1608 to establish a fur trade network with the Native population. In 1634, Champlain sent Laviolette to found Trois-Rivières, in order to be closer to the fur supplies. Thus, the first two settlements, Québec and Trois-Rivières, were founded for economic reasons dealing with the fur trade. Religious Factors

In 1642, Paul de Chomedy de Maisonneuve, assisted by Jeanne Mance, founded Ville-Marie (present day Montreal) in order to establish a religious mission to convert the Indians. Try the following questions on the first settlements.

2004 Oregon Ballot Measure 37 and 2007 Oregon Ballot Measure 49

Oregon Ballot Measure 37 was a controversial land-use ballot initiative that passed in the U.S. state of Oregon in 2004 and is now codified as Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 195.305. Measure 37 has figured prominently in debates about the rights of property owners versus the public's right to enforce environmental and other land use regulations. Voters passed Measure 49 in 2007, substantially reducing the impact of Measure 37.

Content of the proposal
The law enacted by Measure 37 allows property owners whose property value is reduced by environmental or other land use regulations to claim compensation from state or local government. If the government fails to compensate a claimant within two years of the claim, the law allows the claimant to use the property under only the regulations in place at the time he/she purchased the property. Certain types of regulations, however, are exempt from this.

Legal context
Advocates for Measure 37 have described it as a protection against "regulatory taking," a notion with roots in an interpretation of the United States Constitution.

The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution ends as follows:

"…nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

That phrase provides the foundation for the government power of eminent domain, and requires compensation for governmental appropriations of physical property. It has occasionally been used to require compensation for use restrictions that deprive the owner of any economically-viable use of land. See the 1922 United States Supreme Court case Pennsylvania Coal Co. v. Mahon.)

The advocates of Measure 37 employed a more expansive interpretation of the concept of regulatory taking than required by the Supreme Court, considering any reduction in a piece of property's value - for instance, a reduction resulting from an environmental regulation - to require compensation to the owner.

Measure 37 was ruled unconstitutional in a 2005 circuit court decision, but the Oregon Supreme Court reversed that decision, ruling that the law was not unconstitutional, and noting that the Court was not empowered to rule on its efficacy:

"Whether Measure 37 as a policy choice is wise or foolish, farsighted or blind, is beyond this court's purview."

Oregon
In the early 1970s, Senate Bill 100 and Portland's 1972 Downtown Plan established bold guidelines for the regulation of land use. Oregon became known for its strict land use planning. While some Oregonians take great pride in that, others consider themselves victimized by government oversight. The strong 2004 passage (61%) of Measure 37 is considered a political backlash to that legacy of regulation, and follows several other unsuccessful efforts to restrict land use regulation:
 * Oregon Ballot Measure 65 (1998) and Oregon Ballot Measure 2 (2000) sought to restrict the Legislature's ability to regulate land use; both measures failed.
 * Oregon Ballot Measure 7 (2000) was similar to Measure 37. It was approved, but struck down by the Oregon Supreme Court.
 * Measure 39, which passed in 2006, restricted the use of eminent domain. It was promoted by Oregonians In Action as a "natural extension" of Measure 37, and passed with very little opposition.
 * Measure 49, passed in 2007, virtually replaces Measure 37. It eliminated nearly every Measure 37 provision designed to allow pre-regulation use of one's own property, as well as all compensation provisions. It also addresses questions about transferability, and offered to fast-track some smaller Measure 37 claims under post 2007 land use regulations.

Nationwide
The state of Washington's legislature referred Initiative 164 (also known as Referendum 48) to the ballot in 1995. This "regulatory takings" bill was similar to Measure 37 in its restriction of local governments' ability to regulate land use. The bill was widely criticized, and was not approved by voters.

In 2006, voters in six western states considered ballot initiatives similar to Oregon's 2004 Measure 37. All states except Arizona rejected the initiatives.

Arizona's initiative combined the land use/regulatory taking issue central to Oregon Ballot Measure 37 with a restriction on eminent domain (similar to Oregon Ballot Measure 39 (2006)). The Arizona initiative's proponents focused their arguments almost exclusively on the less controversial eminent domain portion of the initiative.

The Nevada initiative also combined the two issues. The regulatory taking portions of Nevada's initiative (i.e., those most similar to Oregon's Measure 37) were removed by the state Supreme Court, and voters approved the remaining restrictions on eminent domain. The Nevada initiative will be reviewed in the next election.

This surge in related initiatives reflects the rising influence of political activists who coordinate the production and advocacy of state ballot initiatives on a national level. Many of the ballot initiatives in the following table (in numerous states) have been financed by New York libertarian Howie Rich and groups he is involved with, most notably Americans for Limited Government.

2006 initiatives restricting regulation of land use and condemnation:

Legislative text
The following are the first three sections of the law; for a complete version, see Oregon State Land Use site.

 * 1) If a public entity enacts or enforces a new land use regulation or enforces a land use regulation enacted prior to the effective date of this amendment that restricts the use of private real property or any interest therein and has the effect of reducing the fair market value of the property, or any interest therein, then the owner of the property shall be paid just compensation.
 * 2) Just compensation shall be equal to the reduction in the fair market value of the affected property interest resulting from enactment or enforcement of the land use regulation as of the date the owner makes written demand for compensation under this act.
 * 3) Subsection (1) of this act shall not apply to land use regulations:
 * 4) Restricting or prohibiting activities commonly and historically recognized as public nuisances under common law.  This subsection shall be construed narrowly in favor of a finding of compensation under this act;

Support for Measure 37
Arguments in support supplied by individuals and interest groups for inclusion in the voter's pamphlet for Measure 37 are found here.

Supporters argue that Measure 37 provided protection of the value of property by insuring that new legislation does not decrease property values or limit development possibilities. Timber companies and real estate developers were the most prominent supporters (and the primary funders) of Measure 37, presumably because environmental and other land use regulations would impact them most directly.

Measure 37's sponsor, Oregonians In Action, and various supporters drummed up support during the 2004 election using the case of Dorothy English, a then-92-year-old woman, as a cause célèbre. Enacted zoning regulations prevented English from dividing her land into pieces that could go to each of her children.

Opposition to Measure 37
Arguments in opposition supplied by individuals and interest groups for inclusion in the voter's pamphlet for Measure 37 are found here.

The following are major arguments advanced against Measure 37:
 * Given that a large portion of a property's value is created by legislation (e.g. laws providing for public roads, sewers, electrical lines, parks, etc.), it is unreasonable to require the government to compensate property owners for any additional legislation which might restrict property use in the name of the public good
 * Measure 37 undermined the property rights of neighbors. Owners who purchased homes in areas zoned single family residential, or wineries in areas zoned exclusively agricultural, lost the value of their property as Measure 37 claimants were authorized to build large subdivisions, gravel mines, and hotels next to their land.
 * Environmental impact. Since the government will rarely be able to fund the measure, many property owners, especially major developers, will be able to ignore environmental legislation enacted to protect the public good. This has already led to significant blows to state efforts to protect endangered species. In fact, to date existing land use restrictions have been waived in every claim filed under Measure 37.
 * As more claims are being filed, many voters are feeling the impact of unregulated development.
 * The legislation is incomplete, in that it fails to dictate a method for determining property value when a claim is filed or evaluated.
 * The legislation is deceptive, in that it coerces governments into altering land use laws without debating them on their merits.
 * The campaign for the ballot measure was deceptive, claiming that the law would apply mainly to private property owners (like spokeswoman Dorothy English), when in fact the majority of claims have come from large-scale developers. One of the earliest large claims was brought by a timber company from another state.

Impact
As of March 12, 2007, 7,562 Measure 37 claims for compliance payments or land use waivers had been filed spanning 750898 acre statewide in Oregon.

The claims filed included mobile home parks in sacred native burial grounds, shopping malls in farmland, and gravel pit mines in residential neighborhoods. There are no provisions in the law that public notice must be provided to neighboring property owners when a claim is filed. Because municipalities can not afford the billions in compensation, the laws were waived in every case but one.

Claims filed in Portland, Oregon, by December 4, 2006, totalled over $250 million. Many of these claims were filed by major area land developers.

Outside of Oregon, some contend that Measure 37 may have decreased support for national anti-urban sprawl legislation.

Specific cases
The owners of Schreiner's Iris Gardens filed a claim in late 2006, demanding either $9.5 million or the right to subdivide their 400 acre. They assert that they have no intention of changing the use of the property, but want to keep options open for the future.

John Benton, a Hood River County fruit farmer, filed a Measure 37 claim, demanding either $57 million or the right to build 800 houses on his 210 acre of property. Neighboring farmers objected, due to the significant impact they anticipated such a change would bring to their community.

In the fall of 2006, the Palins, a Prineville couple, filed a Measure 37 claim, demanding either $200,000 or the right to develop their property, which is on a scenic portion of rimrock clearly visible from the city. The city did its own appraisal of the property's potential value, and offered $47,000. This was the first case where the government offered money instead of a waiver of land use restrictions, and highlights the Measure's lack of a clear process for determining the value associated with a claim.

In a January 15, 2007 article, a statewide newspaper highlighted a Measure 37-based claim in Hood River County, in which land owners aim to develop a parcel of rural land eight times the size of the city of Hood River:

"As negotiations begin, Hood River is emerging as the perfect case study. No other county's Measure 37 dynamics speak so directly to Oregon's changing economy and lifestyle."

Measure 49
In 2007, the Oregon legislature placed Measure 49 on the November 6, 2007 special election ballot. It passed with 62% in favor. The measure overturns and modifies many of the provisions of Measure 37. The Legislature stated that it would restrict the damaging effects of Measure 37 by limiting some of the development that measure permitted.

"This measure protects farmlands, forestlands and lands with groundwater shortages in two ways.

First, subdivisions are not allowed on high-value farmlands, forestlands and groundwater-restricted lands. Claimants may not build more than three homes on such lands.

Second, claimants may not use this measure to override current zoning laws that prohibit commercial and industrial developments, such as strip malls and mines, on land reserved for homes, farms, forests and other uses."

A record 117 paid arguments on Measure 49 appeared in the voter's pamphlet for that election, most favoring it.

Measure 49 passed by an even greater margin than Measure 37 had. The measure no longer authorizes challenges to restrictions on industrial or commercial uses of property. In addition, claimants must prove their losses by presenting appraisals of the property one year before and one year after the enactment of the regulation. For land use restrictions enacted before 2007, the restriction may only be waived to permit the claimant to build one to three homes on their land, or up to 10 homes if the property is not high value agricultural land and they can show that the waiver is necessary to restore the appraised value of the property.
