Study skills

Define topic
Study skills are quite important. There is a wealth of information out in this world, and if you have no way of absorbing it, it is of little use, and you will probably not be too successful at absorbing and utilizing the information that is there. Study skills are quite important in that they allow you to absorb the information that exists in an efficient and effective way.

A lot of study skills are a matter of practice. Just like everything else, practice makes perfect.

In your academic career you will need a variety of skills.

Absorbing information
You should be able to understand how different thought systems relate to one another. This comes at more advanced levels of school.

In the beginning, firm discipline is key. Much of education is rote memorization. Methods that help with memorization are repetition and flash cards. Write what you need to memorize down over and over. Have some one help you.

Ideally when learning you want to go beyond simple memorization. To actually understand the concepts underlying the material will not only help you to have a better understanding of a topic, but it will also allow you to memorize it better.

To be successful in a class, ideally you want to have intrinsic motivation. That is, you want to be successful because it makes you feel good. On the other hand, extrinsic motivation is a factor that is almost always there that will help you succeed. This includes a desire to get an "A" because others want you to be successful or you want money from a good job. Both forms of motivation are useful. Ideally, a combination of both are best - innate interest in a topic along with peer pressure from outside sources to be successful are quite motivating factors.

Learning can be fun. It can be exciting to learn about the world's constructed thought systems. There are whole areas of study that study the nature of knowledge. Is all knowledge a social construction? We digress, but the point is that if you are highly motivated you will absorb the information better.

When reading text books, taking notes on the material you are reading can help you be successful on tests. Copious highlighting can also help you absorb information and know what the important parts of the text are for future reference.

Study guides are helpful too. If you have access to practice tests, utilize them! They will help you succeed on the real thing.

Time management
PLAN ahead! Be prepared.

Note taking
Take good notes when needed. You can use an outline form, or more loose forms. Find your own style of note taking that works best for you. The act of writing what is being lectured to you down not only allows you to have it for later reference, but also the mere act of writing it down reinforces the information into your brain.

Library seaching
Libraries are obsolete. Just kidding! While much of the function of libraries is going online - like reviewing academic literature there are still many uses for books and other things at library. When searching through the cataloge for information on different subjects, it is helpful to know authors of books on your topic of interest, titles of books related to what you are interested in, and keywords related to what you are interested in finding.

Once you have a general idea of what you need to research, go to the search computer at your library and start plugging in search terms. Once you find a variety of books that may suit your topic write their call numbers down. Then go find the books. If you have trouble finding the books or understanding the system, then consult your librarian. They are there to help.

How library indexing works
Libraries either use the Library of Congress Classification system or the Dewey Decimal Classification system.

Internet searching
Use Google and Wikipedia. Know what topic you want information on. Type in keywords related to the topic that you want information on. Be creative. You can limit your search to different domains in Google's advanced search options.

Talk:credo

Plural
From the humanities ref desk:
 * I should try to avoid making a Latin plural of credo, which is of course a verb and not a noun. If you need a plural of credo then perhaps credos... the only reason for preferring credi would be if it were the historic plural, but it isn't, except possibly in Italian.

I don't know, so I won't change the article. Just wanted to point this out. DirkvdM 08:14, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Mystery of Love (Larry Heard song)

"Mystery of Love" is a 1985 house music song created by Larry Heard under the alias of Mr. Fingers. It was released by Heard's label Alleviated Records in 1985. The track was developed in 1984 after Heard felt his creative input was not being incorporated into the rock music cover bands he had been drumming in. This led to Heard buying a Roland Jupiter-6 and developing two tracks in one night: "Washing Machine" and "Mystery of Love" which he recorded to via tape cassettes. Cassette tapes of these tracks were given to musicians local Chicago DJs and became popular at dance clubs in Chicago.

The track was re-recorded by Heard in a studio with his friend Robert Owens adding vocals to the track and was credited to Fingers Inc. This version was released in 1986 on DJ International Records and became a top ten hit on the Hot Dance/Disco 12 Inch Singles chart in 1986. In the United Kingdom, initial reception to the Fingers Inc. was not enthusiastic, until the song was included on the compilation The House Sound of Chicago which increased its popularity dramatically in the United Kingdom.

Background
When Larry Heard was growing up he had a piano in his house and as a child would try to emulate television show theme songs. Heard would later learn to play guitar and quickly moved on to the bass, and then to drums, where he felt most comfortable. Heard initially was interested in pursuing a career as either a teacher, a lawyer, or an architect but moved on to playing drums in local groups. Later Heard became interested in starting to put some distance in between him and some of the groups, stating that in his last group he found himself "having to buy [his] own synthesizer, and then buy a drum machine to keep the time since I wasn't gonna be able to hold the sticks and do the keyboard part." Heard's first synthesizer purchased was a Roland Jupiter-6.

Production
On the first night of purchasing the synthesizer in 1984, Heard created "Mystery of Love" and "Washing Machine", which he described as "my first drafts ever. I was lucky enough to catch it on a cassette tape, which has been lost since then, of course." Heard described the influence to make these tracks, as he "always had ideas when I was behind the drums, but the other band members weren't really receptive, again, to the drummer having ideas, and I think there's pretty much rich history of drummers, like Phil Collins, and Narada Michael Walden, and people like that, that step out. But you have to express your ideas, or it's not fulfilling." The tracks were recorded to two cassette decks with one pass on one cassette, and then, once Heard decided what he wanted over the top, he ran the next pass, and played the parts live. Heard reflected on these recordings in 2016, describing both "Mystery of Love" and "Washing Machine" as a "happy accident, a product of youthful excitement" due to his excitement to work on new equipment and the lessons learned from listening to his parents play the piano.

There are multiple iterations of "Mystery of Love". The first was an original version, which Heard described as his "personal prototype" which he made three acetate copies of, one copy owned by Heard, and others given to Chicago DJs Frankie Knuckles, Ron Hardy. According to Heard, these acetates have changed hands several times. The 1985 version of the track is at a slow tempo, at about 110 beats per minute. A second version was credited to Fingers Inc. and made for the label DJ International Records. This version was re-recorded in a studio with vocals by Heard's friend Robert Owens. This version is credited to Fingers Inc. Heard felt that " the first one is just special for me, it just holds the essence of what I was doing, what just naturally flowed out of me. The next ones ended up being more rehearsed, so I don't really feel the same intensity in those versions, but that's showbiz, I guess."

Release
Heard sent out the tape to some music labels with no response and was suggested by a friend to release the record on his own. The original releases of Heard's first track did not have a label attached to them, with Heard recalling that he "didn't know how you go about establishing a name, and that kind of a thing. But I did start my publishing off, so I ended up deciding to use the publishing name as the label name since I got clearance for the name." Heard has declared the first version as being attached to his own label Alleviated Records, despite any credit on the label. The track was officially released in 1985. Heard would then soon hear the track on the radio, and recalled hearing "Mystery of Love" on the radio while driving on Lakeshore Drive and he nearly drove himself off the road he was so excited.

The Mr.Fingers version on "Mystery of Love" released by D.J. International entered the Billboard's Hot Dance/Disco 12 Inch Singles sales charts on April 19, 1986 and peaked at number 10 on the charts.

Reception
Heard stated that the reception of "Mystery of Love" was so great that Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles were claiming that they had made the song. Heard joked that he had "kind of foil everything for both of them, when people who knew me saying this was the guy who made the "Mystery of Love" track. So, that kind of put a little tension in the relationship between myself and Frankie and Ron Hardy. Not from my perspective, but I think they maybe always felt like I would harbour some resentment for that, but to me it was more of a compliment. I mean, who would claim something that they feel is crap? So it confirmed for me that I was at something, that I was onto something that people could relate to."

Jon Savage commented on the song's initial reception in the United Kingdom, stating that the track at first "seemed wrong" with its slower tempo, noting the audiences expectations for the "cranked up nature of the Go-Go scene or new-breed rappers like Schoolly D. It wasn't a brash assertion of ego or a frantic call to the dancefloor, more an ecstatic (in the old sense) vision couched in a radical, fluid sound world." Savage continued that it took a little while for the song to become part of what would later be known as house music, specifically noting that after Farley "Jackmaster" Funk's record with Darryl Pandy "Love Can't Turn Around" entered the top ten in the United Kingdom, London Records released the compilation The House Sound of Chicago in October 1986 which included the Fingers Inc. version of "Mystery of Love" along with Daryl Pandy's hit.

Cousin of the Syrian VP is not important?
Someone deleted Yaroub al-Shara's defection, claiming he is not an important figure. First, just by being the cousin of the Syrian VP makes the defection important. Second, this is a list of defectors and not a list of importance. --Midrashah (talk) 10:21, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

A. J. Foyt Racing

A. J. Foyt Racing, officially and historically known as A. J. Foyt Enterprises, is an American racing team in the IndyCar Series and formerly NASCAR. It is owned by four-time Indianapolis 500 winner, 1972 Daytona 500 winner, 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans winner, and two-time 24 Hours of Daytona winner A. J. Foyt. Foyt won two of his four Indianapolis 500s driving for the team. The team also won the 1999 Indianapolis 500 and the IRL championship in 1996 and 1998.

USAC National Championship
The team was founded in 1965 and won three National Championship (in 1967, 1975 and 1979) and two Indianapolis 500 (in 1967 and 1977), all with A. J. Foyt at the wheel.

CART
During the CART years, A. J. Foyt Enterprises seldom ran a full-season schedule. The team ran partial schedules through 1987, with A. J. Foyt himself driving the primary car. The team usually entered all three 500-mile races (Indianapolis, Michigan, and Pocono), and selected races, mostly on ovals. The team ran cars for additional drivers, particularly at Indy, including George Snider, Davy Jones, Stan Fox, Rocky Moran and others. At the 1987 Indianapolis 500 the Foyt team notably qualified four team cars, with Foyt starting 4th, and Fox finishing 7th.

In 1988, the team increased its participation and went back to a full-time schedule. Foyt posted four top-five finishes between 1988-1990. A devastating crash at Road America in 1990 saw Foyt suffer serious leg injuries, and he required lengthy rehabilitation. Foyt returned in 1991 and retired in May 1993. The team ran nine different drivers in 1992, then signed promising rookie Robby Gordon for the 1993 season. Gordon notched ten top-ten finishes including a 2nd place at Mid-Ohio.

For 1994, the team initially signed Davy Jones, but parted ways with him after only three races. At Indianapolis, they picked up rookie Bryan Herta mid-month, and survived a Bump Day scare to hold on and make the field. Herta posted a 9th place finish on race day and ran four additional races with the team. The team then hired Eddie Cheever to finish out the 1994 season. Cheever stayed with the team for 1995 but saw little success.

A. J. Foyt Enterprises never won a CART-sanctioned event during its participation from 1979 to 1995. At the 1995 Bosch Spark Plug Grand Prix, Eddie Cheever was leading the race with just over one lap to go when the car ran out of fuel. It would be the closest the team came to winning a CART race. The team's best CART series finish was 2nd place, on two occasions.

IndyCar Series
Foyt Enterprises won IRL titles in 1996 with Scott Sharp and 1998 with Kenny Bräck. Bräck also won the Indianapolis 500 for the team in 1999.

In 2006 the team hoped to resurrect itself with experienced driver Felipe Giaffone and a more level playing ground brought by a spec engine. However, after a strong start to the season, the team struggled after the Indianapolis 500 and parted ways with Giaffone after the eighth race. Jeff Bucknum was brought in to fill the seat for the rest of the year.

In 2007 Foyt announced that Larry Foyt would take over as team manager and Darren Manning was signed as the team's driver. Manning captured three top-five finishes in his two years with the team, including a second place in 2008 at Watkins Glen International. However, with high-profile veteran Vítor Meira becoming available following the 2008 season, Foyt signed him to replace Manning.

Foyt Enterprises began the 2009 IndyCar Series season sponsored by ABC Supply and fielding Vítor Meira, who was injured in the Indianapolis 500. Ryan Hunter-Reay and Paul Tracy took over driving duties for the rest of the 2009 season. Meira returned in 2010 but split with the team after the season. Japanese driver Takuma Sato joined Foyt's team in 2013, winning that year at Long Beach. The team announced in October that they would field a second car (No. 41) full-time in 2015 for Jack Hawksworth.

In 2017, A. J. Foyt Racing switched to customer Chevrolet engines after eleven seasons utilized works Honda engines since 2006.

For the balance of its 2021 Indycar campaign, Foyt Enterprises currently fields two full-time drivers, Sébastien Bourdais alongside Dalton Kellett, with part-timers Charlie Kimball and J. R. Hildebrand in spare chassis designated for Indianapolis, only.

In 2023 Foyt would enter a technical partnership with Team Penske.

No. 14 history
The No. 14 started as the No. 50 when A. J. Foyt began fielding NASCAR teams in 1973 part-time, driving the Purolator-sponsored Chevrolet. He drove for the team on a very limited schedule throughout the seventies, picking up one pole and nine top-tens. Ron Hutcherson was the first driver besides Foyt to drive the car, and later Johnny Rutherford drove for the team in 1978. In the 1980s, Foyt was almost the sole driver of the team, and switched to the No. 14 with a Valvoline sponsorship in 1983, and posted his final career Top 5 at Talladega two years later in the Copenhagen-sponsored car. In 1989, Tracy Leslie drove for the team in a pair of races, finishing 20th at Michigan International Speedway. Foyt did not drive in the 1991 season. Instead, he allowed Mike Chase to drive for him. This driver finished no better than 25th. Foyt, afterward, did not field a team until the inaugural Brickyard 400 in 1994, when he qualified 40th and finished 30th in the No. 50. Foyt would attempt the Brickyard in 1995 and 1996 but did not qualify for either race, forcing his permanent retirement.

During the 1999 season, rumors began spreading that Foyt would revive his defunct operation to compete in the Cup Series. After several months, it was announced that Foyt would hire rookie Mike Bliss as the driver of the No. 14 Conseco-sponsored Pontiac Grand Prix. Bliss qualified for the Daytona 500, but after failing to do so for the next three races, he was released and briefly replaced by Dick Trickle. After getting an offer from another team, Trickle would leave as well. He would be replaced by Rick Mast after he and several crew members left the bankrupt Larry Hedrick Motorsports team. Mast stayed with the team for the rest of the season and had two Top 10s at Pocono and Bristol. In 2001, Ron Hornaday Jr. was selected as the team's driver, but he only posted only one Top 10 in Las Vegas and was dismissed at the end of the season.

Following Hornaday's departure, Stacy Compton began driving for the team starting in 2002. After posting only three Top 20 finishes, Compton left the team, and P. J. Jones took over at the Sirius Satellite Radio at the Glen, and posted the team's best finish of fourth. Mike Wallace was then designated as the driver, posting a 10th-place run at Bristol Motor Speedway. It had been originally announced Foyt would field two cars in 2003 with Wallace in the 14, and his adopted son Larry Foyt in a second car with sponsorship from Harrah's. Unfortunately, Conseco filed for bankruptcy, leaving only one car with Larry driving. The team also switched its Cup team to Dodge with engines provided by Evernham Motorsports. Foyt only qualified for 20 races with a best finish of 16th and finished 41st in points. Harrah's left at the end of 2003, and Larry Foyt qualified for three races in 2004 but did not obtain major sponsorship, leaving the team inactive. Later in the season, Foyt sold his owner's points to ppc Racing's new Cup team. A. J. Foyt Racing officially closed their Cup team in 2006, following an auction of the team's NASCAR equipment in August.

No. 41 history
Foyt Racing also briefly expanded to a two-car team at the 2000 season finale, the NAPA 500, when they fielded the No. 41 for Foyt's son Larry but did not make the race.

The team also ran a second car again in 2001 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, with Mark Green driving, but did not qualify.

The team also ran a second car yet again in 2002 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, with P. J. Jones but the number changed from No. 41 to No. 50.

No. 14 history
In 2001, Foyt started a Busch team, the No. 14 Harrah's Chevrolet, driven by Larry Foyt. Despite failing to finish in the top ten, Foyt finished 22nd in points overall.

In the Busch Series for 2002, Foyt had two top-tens and improved two spots in the points.

List of GIS software

ESRI Arc*
ArcGIS Desktop. This software suite is now at version 10.2 and is made up of three primary components. The main component, ArcMap is used to display and analyze geographic data and to compose and print maps. ArcCatalog is analogous to Windows Explorer and is used to organize and preview data and to create/edit metadata. ArcToolbox contains a variety of tools for data conversion, manipulation, management, etc. Data are stored in a variety of formats, including shapefiles (.SHP), geodatabases (based on the Microsoft Access/Jet MDB format) and the new ESRI file geodatabase type (GDB).

ESRI packages ArcGIS in three licensing tiers/levels, in addition to the free ArcExplorer version. ArcGIS ArcView is the entry level version and retails for approximately $1,500 (US). While ArcView is the basic version, it has a wide array of cartographic and analytical tools and satisfies the everyday needs of many GIS users. ArcGIS ArcEditor includes all the functionality of ArcView and adds tools for data creation, but is considerably more expensive. The highest level of functionality, ArcGIS ArcInfo, includes all of the functionality of ArcView and ArcEditor and adds many more tools for analysis, modeling, data integration, etc. This version is priced at roughly ten times the cost of ArcGIS ArcView. ArcGIS users have the option of purchasing a software maintenance contract entitling them to toll-free tech support and free software upgrades.

In addition to ArcGIS Desktop, there is an ever growing list of specialized software extensions including Spatial Analyst, 3D Analyst, Network Analyst, Geostatistical Analyst, etc.

MapInfo
is now at version 10. Unlike ArcGIS, MapInfo is made up of just one component, with the option of importing in a variety of other custom designed tools. MapInfo also allows for custom tools to be designed from within the software using MapBasic.

Google Earth
is a free GIS package. While it is somewhat limited in functionality it has proved itself as an indispensable tool within the GIS industry.

Usage notes
In Jewish practice, the Tetragrammaton (the Hebrew name of God, ) is written directly in the Tanakh but spoken aloud as Adonai (🇨🇬). The scholars responsible for the Septuagint translation of the Tanakh into Koine preserved this tradition by writing appearances of the Tetragrammaton as ) and English translations of the Bible have similarly presented appearances of Adonai as "Lord", "the Lord", or "The Lord" while presenting appearances of the Tetragrammaton as "LORD" (as in the 1611 edition of the King James Bible ), "", "", "the LORD", etc.

This is not always consistent, however, with YHWH sometimes being translated or rendered as Jehovah, Adonai YHWH sometimes appearing as "the LORD GOD", or YHWH Sabaoth appearing as "the Lord of Hosts".

Heather Olmstead

Heather Olmstead is an American volleyball head coach for the BYU Cougars women's volleyball team. In 2018, she was named the American Volleyball Coaches Association Coach of the Year. She also served as head coach of the U.S. Collegiate National Team in Japan and as the assistant coach at the 2015 Pan American Games. Her brother, Shawn Olmstead, coaches the BYU Cougars men's volleyball team.

Personal life
Olmstead is one of seven children born to parents Rick and Trudy Olmstead. Her twin sister Nicole was also an athlete in high school. Olmstead is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

High school
Olmstead attended Carpinteria High School for four years. She was a starter on the school's volleyball team her entire high school career and earned team MVP in 1997.

Utah State
After graduating from Carpinteria High School, Olmstead was a four-year starter on the Utah State Aggies women's volleyball team from 1999 until 2001 while majoring in family and consumer science. In her sophomore year, she averaged 2.08 digs per game. In both her junior and senior years, she helped the team qualify for the NCAA tournament and rank top-25 within their national collegiate league. She also became the first defensive specialist in Big West Conference history to be named first-team all-league. As a result, she finished her collegiate career with the second-highest dig total in school history and set a new single-season record for most digs with 340. Her record was broken in 2003 by Taubi Neves who recorded 344 digs.

She graduated from Utah State in 2002 and joined the coaching staff in 2003 as an assistant coach. However, she was eligible for the 2003 United States Professional Volleyball (USPV) Draft after she received an invite to the USPV National Athlete Tryout Camp. Olmstead was also the only Libero draft-eligible out of 109 athletes.

BYU
In 2011, her brother convinced her to coach at Brigham Young University (BYU). She worked under him as an assistant coach to the BYU Cougars women's volleyball team until her promotion to head coach in 2015. In her first year as head coach, Olmstead led the team to a 28–3 record and won the 2015 Marcia E. Hamilton Classic title. As a result, she was the recipient of the 2015 West Coast Conference Coach of the Year honors. Olmstead was later approached by USA Volleyball (USAV) to have her serve as an assistant coach at the 2015 Pan American Games under the direction of Dan Fisher.

The following year, Olmstead was named the American Volleyball Coaches Association South Region Coach of the Year after she led the team to the NCAA tournament. In May 2016, she was asked to serve as an assistant coach for Team USA at the 2016 XV Pan-American Cup. Her winning streak continued as the 2017 Cougars women's volleyball team held a 30–3 record and won the conference title.

During the 2018 season, Olmstead earned her 100th win in a match against Pepperdine University. At the conclusion of the season, she was named the American Volleyball Coaches Association Coach of the Year. The following year, USAV chose her to coach the U.S. Collegiate National Volleyball Team in Japan. At the time of her selection, Olmstead held the highest winning percentage of any women's volleyball coach in NCAA Division I history with a minimum of one season and in any division with a minimum of three seasons.

Talk:Dee Carstensen

General Notability
It seems clear to me that a recording artist who has released a handful of albums is notable enough to deserve a Wikipedia entry. I consulted this article to find information about Dee Carstensen having bought her album "Regarding the Soul". I found the article useful, and I am sure others will do so too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs)

Impact on harp music

 * Moved from article per WP:V. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 05:07, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Dee was the first pop singer to participate in the Lyon & Healy Jazz and Pop Harp Festival (1999), sharing the stage with jazz harpists Park Stickney and Deborah Henson-Conant. Dee plays a Lyon & Healy electric harp in her recordings and live performances. Her incorporation of harp in singer-songwriter and pop music also influenced the new generation of young singer-songwriter-harpists, such as Joanna Newsom and Habiba Doorenbos.

User:Sophykbutt/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: (link) Pair bond
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate.
 * I have chosen to evaluate this article because it is related to the course about animal behaviour and the topic seems interesting.

Lead

 * Guiding questions

 * 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?

Lead evaluation

 * 1) Yes the Lead does include an introductory sentence. The sentence is indeed concise and clearly lays out the topic of the article.
 * 2) Yes the lead does included brief description of the article's major sections. But it does seem to be missing some references to the other species it will mention that are highlighted in the headers. It gives several example about the Prairie Voles but does not mention about fishes or birds like the headers below do.
 * 3) No the lead does not include information that is not present in the article. But it does go mention about neurotransmitter found in the Prairie Vole species and state that this higher presence of these chemicals are a reason the Vole experience Pair bonding, But once in the article that section has only two sentences on it and the first one refers you back to the Lead
 * 4) the Lead is an appropriate length for the article and it is mostly concise. It does go into an example in the third paragraph about the Prairie Vole and a comparison to another Vole species that I feel it is too much detail and could have been left for the it's section.

Content

 * Guiding questions

 * 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?

Content evaluation

 * 1) Yes the content is relevant to the topic. All the section talked about the specific behaviour of Pair bonding and gave examples across different species where pair bonding is observed.
 * 2) Yes the content appears to be up to date with sources dating from 2018.
 * 3) There does appear to be some holes within the article. In the Lead is mentions neurotransmitter that are linked to the Pair bonding behaviour in the Voles. But it is not mention again with any of the other species until it is mentioned in the mammals section and it does not give any more detail then the lead did. As well, the section about different fish species that have shown signs of pair bonding is very choppy and disconnected. Some more information and connections could have smoothed out that section.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions

 * 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?

Tone and balance evaluation

 * 1) Yes the article is neutral. The authors do not use bias tones or phrases.
 * 2) There are no claims that appear to be heavily biased.
 * 3) The article goes into more detail about pair bonding in humans than any other species and the information within the article doesn't quite match up with the section directly before it. In that section it outlines a different levels of pair bonding as describe in one of the sources. But when it moves on the next section about human pair bonding it brings up two new levels of pair bonding. I found that part to be confusing because it seemed like that information came out of no where.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions

 * 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?

Sources and references evaluation
The way the article is set up, every paragraph is one new source. It does not integrate different sources together to relay the information. Also because of that, there isn't a whole lot of citation occurring. Only one citation after each paragraph. This could explain why the human pair bonding doesn't relate the section above it. They also presented a block quote from one of the sources and this also goes to show they are not paraphrasing and summarizing the information, but rather are taking information from a single source at a time. In saying that some of the sources are older, for example from 2001. But other sources come from 2018 as the most recent. And when clicking on some of the lins they do lead to peer reviewed scholarly articles.

Organization

 * Guiding questions

 * 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?

Organization evaluation
The article is mediocrely written. Some of the sections like I mentioned before seem very choppy and do not form complete thoughts. The section about fish showing some signs of pair bonding did not flow or really come to a strong conclusion. That section simply stated some facts and followed up giving two disjunct examples and making it hard to read. As well, where the information is not integrated with many sources it make the article hard to follow. But in saying that there are no grammatical or spelling errors.

The break down of each section was okay. The article dedicates a whole heading to the human pair bonding but only one heading to the other species with each new species getting a sub heading.

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions

 * 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?

Images and media evaluation
The article has three images. Two of the images are enhancing to the understanding of the topic, but one is not. The first image found in the Lead section seemed random and not to fit. It is a picture of a two Northern Gannett's but the caption does not describe anything further and there is no mention of birds in that section. It does however go into great detail about the Voles and there is no picture to enhance that information. But besides that photo the photos overall are laid in a visually appealing way.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions

 * 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?

Talk page evaluation
There is really any sort of conversation going on, rather there is several suggestion left on how to improve and one comment mentioned how they add the "Humans and Pair Bonding" section. This article is surprisenlsy apart of two WikiPorjects, one for Biology ,and another for Sexology and Sexuality.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions

 * 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?

Overall evaluation
The article overall was informative and a good introduction into the concept of pair bonding. But the article seems overall unfinished and unrefined. There's a lack of a clear flow throughout the article and certain information should be moved around like the information about the Voles. And other information should be elaborated on like the varieties of pair bonding,

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: Talk: Pair Bond

Talk:This Is Us season 4

Episode Summary Lengths
I noticed that had added plot tags for length to episodes 4, 8, and 9, but that this had been reverted by an IP user without comment. As the original author of those summaries, I had noticed that subsequent editing had padded those summaries out to greater than the 200-word guideline length, and in searching the edit history I found the plot tags. I pared these three summaries back down to 200 words each. In some cases, the text does now hew closer to my original text. However, when I saw additions that seemed to add meaningful content to the article, I did my best to preserve their intent even if I shortened the passages. --DavidK93 (talk) 19:47, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you! - Brojam (talk) 19:57, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
 * After my edits, though, I see that an IP user edited the article to restore a couple of the longer passages. The Episode 7 and 9 summaries, after my edits, had been at exactly the guideline length of 200 words.  I know that is not an obligatory limit, although I try to hold to it when I edit episode summaries.  But in this case, it appears that the longer versions of the text serve only to be longer, without adding content that justifies greater length.  The changes are as follows:
 * Episode 7
 * From: Kevin perceives Nicky as Jack.
 * To: Kevin starts hearing Jack speaking through [sic] him through Nicky.
 * Episode 9
 * From: She agrees to see a doctor.
 * To: This leads her to agree with him that she needs to see a doctor.
 * The change in E7 appears to introduce interpretation to the summary, since it's not clear if Kevin believes he is actually receiving communication from Jack, or if he's just perceiving a similarity between Jack and Nicky. What's shown on the screen is Nicky as Jack, so I think the shorter description is also more accurate.  The change in E9 adds text that, to me, is redundant.  The summary for the previous episode states in part, "When [Randall] suggests [Rebecca] see a doctor, she is defensive and they exchange unkind words."  So if the E9 summary states that she talks to Randall and "agrees" to see a doctor, it's not ambiguous that she's "agreeing" with Randall's previous suggestion to that effect.  If stating that Rebecca "agrees" to do this could really be unclear as to what she's "agreeing" with, it would be simpler to change it to "She decides to see a doctor."  --DavidK93 (talk) 17:53, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

DavidK93, since the edits in question were made unilaterally and made the episode descriptions longer than the recommended Wikipedia parameters for the same, I have gone ahead and reverted the changes so the shorter summary stands, and invited anyone disagreeing with that action to take up the matter here. I agree that the summaries need to remain the length that is established by Wikipedia policies, which is why I did that. Thanks for mentioning it here. --Jgstokes (talk) 22:46, 15 December 2019 (UTC)--Jgstokes (talk) 22:46, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Guest vs recurring
How often actor/actress should reappear in the season to be considered recurring? Some of the characters from "Guest" list appeared at least twice (e.g. future Jack's wife), incl. those who guested in previous seasons also (Sophie) and ex-main cast (William).

The Lucky Shot

The Lucky Shot is a 1910 American silent short drama produced by the Thanhouser Company. The plot follows Jack Hunt, the son of a wealthy woman, who weds a chorus singer Nell Horsley. Jack's mother forgives the son's error, but rejects his wife. Then Jack is killed while on strike duty in the local militia and the Nell and her child struggle in poverty. Nell begs her mother-in-law for aid, but the woman is enraged and drops dead. Her property goes to the young boy who saves the financial future of the family by finding a hidden fortune with a lucky shot while playing 'Indian'. Released on July 12, 1910, the film received positive attention and saw an international release. The film is presumed lost.

Plot
Though the film is presumed lost, a synopsis survives in The Moving Picture World from July 16, 1910. It states: "A shot that found a fortune! Jack Hunt, the son of a wealthy woman, falls in love with Nell Horsley, who is in the chorus of a musical comedy. They are married, but when Jack's mother is informed she declares she'll have nothing to do with Nell, although she is willing to forgive her son. But Jack sticks to his wife, and for a time they are very happy. Then Jack, who is in the militia, is called out on strike duty, and meets his death during a fight with strikers. The widow takes the news to her mother-in-law, who nevertheless retains her hatred for Nell, despite the tragedy. As time passes, Mrs. Hunt becomes a miser. She disposes of all of her property, receiving in exchange money and jewels which she hides in a secret place in her room. In the meantime Nell has a hard time to get along and keep a roof over her head and that of her little boy. So desperate are her circumstances that she finally sinks her pride and appeals to her mother-in-law. The old woman repulses her again; her fit of rage brings on a stroke of apoplexy and she drops dead after Nell leaves. All her property goes to little George, as the woman left no will, but search fails to locate anything except the family homestead. Nell is about to sell that, when she makes a discovery. Playing 'Indian' with her boy, she shoots arrows aimlessly about the room. One of them hits the secret spring of the treasure vault, and the accident puts the boy and his mother beyond want for the rest of their lives."

The synopsis is at odds with the reviewers of the film who state that the arrow which reveals the hidden cache is shot by the little boy and not the mother. The image still shows the woman with a large bow, but further details by the reviewers state that the boy used a toy bow and arrow to make the shot.

Production
The writer of the scenario is unknown, but it was most likely Lloyd Lonergan. Lonergan was an experienced newspaperman employed by The New York Evening World while writing scripts for the Thanhouser productions. The film can be seen as having another loose aspect to labor issues. The film directly followed first Thanhouser film to address the subject: The Girl Strike Leader. The film loosely refers labor relations when Jack Hunt is killed in a riot while on strike duty and the young widow is struggles to make ends meet. Thanhouser subjects would deal with other pressing social issues in The Girls of the Ghetto, another July 1910 release. The plot of The Lucky Shot employed the deus ex machina technique to resolve the financial needs of the widow and her child. Another plot of a needy family suddenly finding a concealed fortune within their house would be reused in The Thunderbolt. The film director and the cameraman are unknown and the only credits known for the cast is that of Marie Eline as the little boy and Mrs. George W. Walters in the role of the miserly woman. Other members cast may have included the other leading players of the Thanhouser productions, Anna Rosemond, Frank H. Crane and Violet Heming.

Release and reception
The single reel drama, approximately 1000 feet long, was released on July 12, 1910. The film minor praise from The Morning Telegraph for an interesting story and plot and another review in The Moving Picture World liked the novelty of the film's premise. Though The New York Dramatic Mirror gives the most detailed review because it recognizes that the film is not as appealing as other Thanhouser films and recognizes that an obvious error in the production when Marie Eline picks up a seemingly weightless bag of gold. The film had a wide release in the United States with known advertisements appearing in Pennsylvania, Kansas, and Indiana. The film looks to have made its way into Canada with the Province making a series of advertisements for The Lucky Shot, but one states the film is a comedy in and another contains only a partial summary. The film saw its United Kingdom release on January 1, 1911.

PHP Programming/Sessions

Sessions allow the PHP script to store data on the web server that can be later used, even between requests to different PHP pages. Every session has a different identifier, which is sent to the client's browser as a cookie or as a $_GET variable. Sessions end when the user closes the browser, or when the web server deletes the session information, or when the programmer explicitly destroys the session. In PHP it's usually called PHPSESSID. Sessions are very useful to protect the data that the user wouldn't be able to read or write, especially when the PHP developer doesn't want to give out information in the cookies as they are easily readable. Sessions can be controlled by the $_SESSION superglobal. Data stored in this array is persistent throughout the session. It is a simple array. Sessions are much easier to use than cookies, which helps PHP developers a lot. Mostly, sessions are used for user logins, shopping carts and other additions needed to keep browsing smooth. PHP script can easily control the session's cookie which is being sent and control the whole session data. Sessions are always stored in a unique filename, either in a temporary folder or in a specific folder, if a script instructs to do so.

Using Sessions
At the top of each PHP script that will be part of the current session there must be the function. It must be before the first output (echo or others) or it will result in an error "Headers already sent out". This function will do these actions:
 * 1) it will check the  or   data, if it is given
 * 2) if the session file doesn't exist in the  location, it will:
 * 3) generate a new Unique Identifier, and
 * 4) create a new file based on that Identifier, and
 * 5) send a cookie to the client's browser
 * 6) if it does exist, the PHP script will attempt to store the file's data into  variable for further use

Now, you can simply set variables in 2 different ways, the default method: Or the deprecated method: Both of the above statements will register the session variable  as "Test". The deprecated method should not be used, it is only listed because you can still see it in scripts written by programmers that don't know the new one. The default method is preferred.

Session Configuration Options
PHP sessions are easy to control and can be made even more secure or less secure with small factors. Here are runtime options that can be easily changed using php_ini function:

A simple example of this use would be this code: This example simply sets the cookie for the next year.

Ending a Session
When user clicks "Logout", or "Sign Off", you would usually want to destroy all the login data so nobody could have access to it anymore. The session file will be simply deleted as well as the cookie to be unset by:

Using Session Data of Other Types
Simple data such as integers, strings, and arrays can easily be stored in the $_SESSION superglobal array and be passed from page to page. But problems occur when trying to store the state of an object by assignment. Object state can be stored in a session by using the serialize function. serialize will write the objects data into an array which then can be stored in a $_SESSION supergloblal. unserialize can be used to restore the state of an object before trying to access the object in a page that is part of the current session. If objects are to be used across multiple page accesses during a session, the object definition must be defined before calling unserialize. Other issues may arise when serializing and unserializing objects.

Avoiding Session Fixation
Session fixation describes an attack vector in which a malicious third-party sets (i.e. fixes) the session identifier (SID) of a user, and is thus able to access that user's session. In the base-level implementation of sessions, as described above, this is a very real vulnerability, and every PHP program that uses sessions for anything at all sensitive should take steps to remedy it. The following, in order of how widely applicable they are, are the measures to take to prevent session fixation:

 * 1) Do not use GET or POST variables to store the session ID (under most PHP configurations, a cookie is used to store the SID, and so the programmer doesn't need to do anything to implement this);
 * 2) Regenerate the SID on each user request (using   at the beginning of the session);
 * 3) Use session time-outs: for each user request, store the current timestamp, and on the next request check that the timeout interval has not passed;
 * 4) Provide a logout function;
 * 5) Check the 'browser fingerprint' on each request.  This is a hash, stored in a   variable, comprising some combination of the user-agent header, client IP address, a salt value, and/or other information.  See below for more discussion of the details of this; it is thought by some to be nothing more than 'security through obscurity'.
 * 6) Check referrer: this does not work for all systems, but if you know that users of your site must be coming from some known domain you can discard sessions tied to users from elsewhere. It relies on the user agent providing the referrer header, which should not be assumed.

This example code addresses all of the above points save the referrer check.

RAF Thurleigh

Royal Air Force Thurleigh or more simply RAF Thurleigh is a former Royal Air Force station located 5 mi north of Bedford, Bedfordshire, England. Thurleigh was transferred to the United States Army Air Forces Eighth Air Force on 9 December 1942 and designated Station 111, and used for heavy bomber operations against Nazi Germany.

History
Thurleigh (pronounced "thur-lie") was built for RAF Bomber Command in 1940 by W & C French Ltd. 1 mi north of the village of Thurleigh on farmland between the farms of Buryfields, Bletsoe Park, Manor, and Whitwickgreen. It was eventually modified to Air Ministry Class A airfield specifications, with three converging runways, extended in 1942 to lengths of 6,000 feet (runway 06-24) and 4,200 feet (runways 18-36 and 12-30). Thurleigh was unique among bomber bases in having four T2 type metal hangars where most bases had only two.

RAF Bomber Command use
Its first use was by No. 160 Squadron RAF, forming on 16 January 1942 as a ground echelon then deployed to the China-Burma-India Theater at Drigh Road on 4 June 1942.

The airfield was also used by No. 18 Operational Training Unit RAF.

 * Other units
 * No. 2813 Squadron RAF Regiment
 * Central Gunnery School
 * Radar Research Squadron

USAAF use
Thurleigh was one of 28 fields listed for use by the U.S. Eighth Air Force on 4 June 1942, tentatively designated station B-4, and was allocated on 10 August 1942. The RAF had found that the initial construction of Thurleigh was inadequate for the combat weight of B-24 bombers. After the departure of the RAF, Thurleigh's runways were lengthened, increased in thickness, and additional hardstands constructed to Class A standards so it could accommodate a USAAF heavy bomber group.

From 16 September 1943 though 25 June 1945, Thurleigh served as headquarters for the 40th Combat Bombardment Wing of the 1st Bomb Division.

306th Bombardment Group (Heavy)
With the essential construction completed, the 306th Bombardment Group (Heavy) deployed to Thurleigh on 7 September 1942 from Wendover AAF Utah. The 306th was assigned to the 40th Combat Wing also at Thurleigh. The group tail code was a "Triangle H". Its operational squadrons were:
 * 367th Bombardment Squadron (GY)
 * 368th Bombardment Squadron (BO)
 * 369th Bombardment Squadron (WW)
 * 423d Bombardment Squadron (RD)

The group flew the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress aircraft, and remained at Thurleigh until 1 December 1945. That was the longest tenure of any U.S. air group at a UK base.

At Thurleigh, the group operated primarily against strategic targets initially in occupied France and the Low Countries, then later in Germany. The group struck locomotive works at Lille, railway yards at Rouen, submarine pens at Bordeaux, shipbuilding yards at Vegesack, ball-bearing works at Schweinfurt, oil plants at Merseburg, marshalling yards at Stuttgart, a foundry at Hannover, a chemical plant at Ludwigshafen, aircraft factories at Leipzig, and numerous other targets on the Continent.

The 306th led the Eighth Air Force on its first mission to bomb a target in Germany on 27 January 1943, attacking U-boat yards at Wilhelmshaven, and suffered severe losses in attacks on Bremen on 16 April 1943, and Schweinfurt, 17 August 1943.

On 11 January 1944, without fighter escort and in the face of strong opposition, the 306th was part of a 1st Bombardment Division mission against aircraft factories in central Germany in which all groups were awarded a Distinguished Unit Citation. The 306th Bomb Group received a second DUC during Big Week, the intensive campaign against the German aircraft industry, when it effectively bombed an aircraft assembly plant at Bernberg on 22 February 1944, after poor weather forced other groups to abandon the mission.

The 306th Bomb Group flew its 342nd and final mission on 19 April 1945, the most of any Eighth Air Force B-17 unit except the 303rd Bomb Group. It compiled 9,614 sorties; dropped 22,575 tons of bombs; and had 171 B-17's fail to return from missions.

Twelve O'Clock High
Twelve O'Clock High was a 1949 film and book about bomber crews of the United States Army Air Forces who flew the initial daylight bombing missions against Germany during the Second World War. Twelve O'Clock High is frequently cited by surviving bomber crew members as the most accurate depiction by Hollywood of their life during the war. This film is used by both the British Royal Navy and U.S. Navy as an example of leadership styles in their Leadership and Management Training Schools for officers and enlisted personnel. The Air Force's College for Enlisted Professional Military Education also uses this film as an education aid in its Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) Academies.

The protagonist of the story, Brigadier General Frank Savage, group commander of the fictional 918th Bomb Group, was possibly modelled on Colonel Frank A. Armstrong, a group Commander of the 306th BG. The fictional counterparts of Thurleigh and the 306th Bomb Group were "Archbury" and the "918th Bomb Group," the number 918 being derived from 306 multiplied by 3. The opening scenes of the film were however filmed at former RAF Chelveston, a station several miles to the north where the 305th Bomb Group was based.

RAE Bedford
Starting in 1946, construction work began on the airfield to turn the site into what became known as the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Bedford. The runway was extended in the post-war period to accommodate the Bristol Brabazon aircraft (which required a very long runway) that ultimately never went into production. One local road was dropped into a cutting so that it would not sit above the level of the runway.

The airfield was decommissioned in February 1994 after a lengthy study determined that flight operations should be centralised at Boscombe Down in Wiltshire. Due to the cost and impracticality of relocating the Advanced Flight Simulator system the site retains some of its development work (under the banner of QinetiQ from mid-2001 onwards). As of early 2007, QinetiQ have sold their remaining stake in the Bedford Airfield site (as well as the nearby 'Wind Tunnel' site) and are planning to relocate the remaining staff to Farnborough in early 2008, finally ending the site's long association with military aviation.

The airfield was closed in 1997 with the RAE having become the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA). DERA consolidated its experimental flying operations at Boscombe Down, moving aircraft from Farnborough as well as Bedford.

Current use
With the end of military control, the airfield has been divided into two parts. The southern part is now known as Thurleigh Business Park, and includes the runway, which is currently used for the mass storage of new cars and cars from the British government scrappage scheme, although it remains intact for possible future use. The northern part houses the Bedford Autodrome, as well as Thurleigh Museum which is dedicated primarily to the airfield and life in the area during the Second World War. The eastern end remains in aviation use as Bedford Aerodrome.

Internet/Introduction

The Internet is the worldwide "network of networks" that links millions of computers together via copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, and other telecommunications channels. This publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks communicate using a set of protocols and standards, the most basic of which are TCP/IP.

The Internet and the World Wide Web are everywhere. They can provide answers to questions and hours of entertainment. The Internet can allow people from all over the world to talk to each other. But what exactly are the Internet and the World Wide Web?

This resource is intended to function as a general overview of the workings of the Internet, which may cover social, economic, historical and other aspects. For a more detailed and step by step approach to learning about networking, consider visiting the topic on computer networking.

History
See History of the Internet at Wikipedia

The internet started out as a US Department of Defence project called ARPANET, which slowly expanded with the integration of packet switching networks over circuit switching networks. ARPANET could be considered the original heart of the internet, with additional bits and pieces being added on until certain standards were needed to unify them all. These standards eventually came to be known as Protocols.

As of July 2008, there were close to 600 million hosts connected to the World Wide Web, linked together by a series of switches and communication links.

Protocols
A protocol is a definition of the format and order of messages that are exchanged between two or more hosts. For example, if person A wanted to know the time from person B in England, person A may approach person B and ask "What is the time?". Person B may then reply with the current time. Some important things to note in this example is that both assume they will be communicating in English, and have a concept of time. While these are things that we as human beings may take for granted, machines have no idea what and how they will be communicating with each other until a set of rules is specified. As mentioned above, one of the most original and common protocols in use today is the TCP/IP protocol.

TCP/IP consists of the Transmission Control Protocol in conjunction with the Internet Protocol. Other protocols such as DHCP, DNS, FTP, HTTP, IRC, MIME, POP3, SMTP, SSH, TELNET, RTP and many more help hold the whole thing together.

Protocols are only a subset of the entire design of the internet. Proposals for existing and new standards are made through Requests for Comments (RFCs), hosted by the Internet Engineering Task Force. RFCs are highly technical and detailed documents that specify each and every operation of the standard being proposed. Comments (hence the name) are sought after regarding the standard and the process carries on until most are satisfied. The standard is then published.

OSI Model
A popular way to visualize the complexity of the Internet is to see it as a stack of layers known as the OSI model, short for Open Systems Interconnection model.

OSI Layers:
 * Layer 7: Application Layer – the main interface for the user(s) to interact with the application and therefore the network
 * Layer 6: Presentation Layer – transforms data to provide a standard interface for the Application layer
 * Layer 5: Session Layer – controls the dialogues (sessions) between computers
 * Layer 4: Transport Layer – provides transparent transfer of data between end users and machines
 * Layer 3: Network Layer – provides the functional and procedural means of transferring variable length data sequences from a source to a destination via one or more networks
 * Layer 2: Data Link Layer – provides the functional and procedural means to transfer data between network entities and to detect and possibly correct errors that may occur in the physical layer
 * Layer 1: Physical Layer – defines all the electrical and physical specifications for devices and the communications media

See OSI model at Wikipedia

World-Wide Web Consortium
W3.org The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is the main international community where member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards. Without standards, the Internet would never have worked. All sorts of ways to learn, and get involved in using and advancing web technology have been provided. See W3C Developers page, for starters. Even though a few governments and corporations will sometimes try to dominate the Internet, its design insures a fully open and transparent participation process. Anyone may request an account.

IETF and ISOC
The Internet Engineering Task Force has been a key driver of the Internet's technical development since the beginning. From IETF RFC3935 (Alvestrand 2004): The Internet: A large, heterogeneous collection of interconnected systems that can be used for communication of many different types between any interested parties connected to it. The term includes both the "core Internet" (ISP networks) and "edge Internet" (corporate and private networks, often connected via firewalls,     NAT boxes, application layer gateways and similar devices). The Internet is a truly global network, reaching into just about every country in the world. The IETF community wants the Internet to succeed because we     believe that the existence of the Internet, and its influence on      economics, communication, and education, will help us to build a      better human society.

New Participants are encouraged to read The Tao of IETF: A Novice's Guide to the Internet Engineering Task Force. The IETF is ostensibly for the technological side of things. For the social, administrative, political and ideological side of things, the IETF encourages participation in its governing organization, the Internet Society - Internet Society (ISOC)

Alabama State Route 151

State Route 151 (SR 151) is a 0.404 mi state highway in Pinson in the northeastern part of Jefferson County, in the central part of the U.S. state of Alabama. The southern terminus of the highway is at an intersection with SR 79. The northern terminus is at an intersection with SR 75. It is known as Tapawingo Road for its entire length. At its northern terminus, SR 75 takes on the Tapawingo Road name.

Route description

SR 151 begins at an intersection with SR 79 (Pinson Valley Parkway/New Bradford Road) on the western edge of Pinson. Here, the roadway continues as Jefferson County Route 131 (CR 131; Narrows Road). SR 151 travels to the east-southeast and, almost immediately, crosses over Beaver Creek. It is aligned along a four-lane undivided highway along its entire length. It curves to the east-northeast and reaches its northern terminus, an intersection with SR 75 (Center Point Road/Tapawingo Road). Although it is signed as a south–north route, the orientation of the highway is actually east–west.

History
Prior to its designation as SR 151 in 1993, the highway was signed as "TO SR 75" at its southern terminus and "TO SR 79" at its northern terminus.

Physics with Calculus/Glossary

Closed systems are systems which do not interact with their environment. For example, if we are only considering the exchange of heat energy, the inside of an insulated box would be a closed system, since no heat can get in or out. Compare this with open systems.

Open systems are systems which interact with their environment, so that energy or mass can be added or removed from them. For example, a pot of water on a stove is an open system, because energy (in the form of heat) is added to the water by the stove. Compare this with closed systems.
