John DeGroff

John DeGroff is a Christian musician.

DeGroff was one of the original members of Christian rock band Petra in 1972, along with Greg Hough, Bill Glover and Bob Hartman. He played bass guitar on the band's first two records (Petra and Come and Join Us) before leaving in 1979. Petra has been inducted into the Christian Music Hall of Fame (2007), the Gospel Music Hall of Fame (2000), and the Hard Rock Cafe (1994).

After leaving Petra, DeGroff played in several bands in the Fort Wayne area, and also did some session work. In 1987, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee and dedicated himself to songwriting and other musical activities. He has had some songs recorded on independent records and does some occasional studio work. He recorded with the band, Cosmonaut Bob, in 2002 and can be heard on their Return From Reality album.

Also in 2003, DeGroff joined Hough and Glover in a project called GHF (God Has Forgiven).

John has joined original members of Petra for several reunions.

Talk:Japanese/Grammar/Nouns

Untitled
Dinky adjective section replaced with text from Japanese grammar... -- EmperorBMA|話す 23:56, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

General plural thoughts
More emphasis should probably be made that -tachi and -ra are almost never used with non-personified nouns. Is Hoshi-tachi a good example? I've never heard stars said that way before. If I did, I would probably think you were talking to the stars as if they were people or something. I'm not a native Japanese speaker, but that's my impression.

 * Hi there, I'm a native Japanese speaker. Yes, we usually say 星々 (hoshi-boshi for stars), 木々 (ki-gi for trees), 家々 (ie-ie for houses), 人々 (hito-bito for people) etc... And, for animals, birds or fish, we use -tachi such as 動物達. Just FYI. e-Goat 15:49, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC) p.s. If you need more examples, then I can help.

Rewrite this page?
Not to be rude, but this page is suffering pretty badly. I'm not convinced the writer of this page speaks and understands Japanese language.

Nouns in Japanese are very simple. You just learn one word for one thing. That's it! You don't have learn a plural form as in English. Nor is there "grammatical gender" as there is in many other languages. Again, like English, gender is something in what the word represents, not in the word. And since this page is written in English and not Italian, gender can be entirely ignored. Let's not over-complicate things. :-)Newtonsfig (discuss • contribs) 03:56, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Mars regional atmospheric modeling system

The Mars Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (MRAMS) is a computer program that simulates the circulations of the Martian atmosphere at regional and local scales. MRAMS, developed by Scot Rafkin and Timothy Michaels, is derived from the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) developed by William R. Cotton and Roger A. Pielke to study atmospheric circulations on the Earth.

Key features of MRAMS include a non-hydrostatic, fully compressible dynamics, explicit bin dust, water, and carbon dioxide ice atmospheric physics model, and a fully prognostic regolith model that includes carbon dioxide deposition and sublimation. Several Mars exploration projects, including the Mars Exploration Rovers, the Phoenix Scout Mission, and the Mars Science Laboratory have used MRAMS to study a variety of atmospheric circulations.

The MRAMS operates at the mesoscale and microscale, modeling and simulating the Martian atmosphere. The smaller scale modeling of the MRAMS gives it higher resolution data points and models over complex terrain and topography. It is able to identify topography driven flows like katabatic and anabatic winds through valleys and mountains that produce changes in atmospheric circulation.

Dynamic Core
The dynamic core's role is to solve fluid mechanic equations related to atmospheric dynamics. The equations in the dynamic core of the MRAMS are based on primitive grid-volume Reynolds-averaged equations. The related equations are meant to solve for momentum, thermodynamics, tracers, and conservation of mass. The MRAMS dynamical core integrates equations for momentum, thermodynamics (atmosphere-surface heat exchange), tracers, and conservation of mass.

Parameterizations
The MRAMS dynamical core was developed from RAMS and has been changed excessively to account for the large difference in atmospheres between Mars and Earth. Some MRAMS models parameterize numerous features including dust and dust lifting, cloud microphysics, radiative transfer, and steep topography.

Grid
The MRAMS operates on the mesoscale and therefore is a regional tool not global, making it accurate for data collection around complex terrain and changing topography. The computational grid types developed for the MRAMS are of the Arakawa C-type. The grid spacing is irregular and requires the use of scaling. The high resolution of the MRAMS stems from the use of the nested two-way grid system. The two-way grid system incorporates a parent grid that establishes initial boundary layers to be used and by the finer grid for accurate data collection.

User:JWSchmidt/Blog/15 February 2007

Content development projects  One of the great inventions at Wikipedia is the "wikiproject". At Wikipedia a wikiproject is a set of pages devoted to content development for a particular subject. Wikipedia has an extensive guide for how to make and run a wikiproject. An aspect of the wikiproject phenomenon that I have never understood is the "WikiProject Council". My initial awareness of the Council was when I noticed that there was an attempt to make people submit proposals or requests for new wikiprojects. I'm sad to say that I even voted to have one particular wikiproject launched even though I do not understand how anyone claims the authority to regulate the start of wikiprojects.

Wikipedia has a "Directory" of wikiprojects that I find most interesting because there is a hierarchy of layers such as Science which contains individual wikiprojects such as Molecular and Cellular Biology. At Wikiversity we have Schools and Topics. Given the amount of traffic there, I am tempted to start with a make-over of School:Computer Science, but another possibility would be to start with a Topic page such as Topic:Computer Programming. I feel like there should be distinctive looks for School and topic pages. Wikipedia has a flat template (Template:WikiProject), but I'd rather have something like what is used here.

De Morgan's laws

De_Morgan's laws (or De_Morgan's theorems) are used to simplify the Boolean expressions.

There are two theorems: Note that this theorems are true in both direction
 * 1) The complement of two or more AND variables is equal to the OR of the complements of each variable. $$\overline{xy}=\bar x + \bar y$$
 * 2) The complement of two or more OR variables is equal to the AND of the complements of each variable. $$\overline{x+y}=\bar x \bar y$$

Examples

 * $$\overline{xyz}=\bar x+\bar y +\bar z$$

 * $$\overline{x+y+z}=\bar x\bar y \bar z$$

 * Note that x can be a combination of other variables.

lets say $$x=(A+B)$$ and $$y=(C+D)$$ so:
 * $$\overline{xy}=\bar{x}+\bar{y}$$

will be:
 * $$\overline{(A+B)(C+D)}=\overline{(A+B)}+\overline{(C+D)}=\bar{A}\bar{B}+\bar{C}\bar{D}$$

 * In case we have more than one livile bar (or complement or negate) start with the top bar first
 * $$\overline{\overline{(A+B)}+\overline{(C+D)}}=\overline{\overline{(A+B)}}.\overline{\overline{(C+D)}}=(A+B)(C+D)$$

Note that $$\overline{\overline{A}}=A$$ Boolean rule.

 * $$\overline{\overline{ABC}+D+E}=\overline{\overline{ABC}}\bar D\bar E=ABC\bar D\bar E$$

 * $$\overline{(A+B)\bar{C}+D+\bar{E}}=(\overline{(A+B)\bar{C})}\bar{D}\overline{\overline{E}}=(\overline{(A+B)}+\overline{\overline{C}})\bar{D}E=(\bar{A}\bar{B}+C)\bar{D}E$$

Cookbook:Pastry Dough

| Baking | Dessert | Bread

Pastry dough is made from a mixture of (at minimum) flour, fat and water, used to encase or cover food in the form of pies, tarts etc.

Pastry is generally dry, delicate, and flaky. The delicacy and flakiness of a pastry is determined by how much the dough is mixed, how thin the dough is, how much fat is involved, and the melting properties of the fat. A pie crust, for instance, is delicate due to the relatively low amount of mixing (and hence, low gluten production), and is flaky due to the high fat to flour ratio. A croissant dough, unlike a pie crust, will endure a high amount of mixing (thus more gluten) but the dough is rolled into very thin layers between a large amount of fat.

One of the main goals of pastry dough preparation is to avoid combining the fat and the other ingredients. The fat should be distributed in the other ingredients while remaining unique from them; in a pie crust this is achieved by using a pastry blender to cut the fat into small chunks, which "float" in the rest of the ingredients, while in a croissant this is achieved by mixing the dough separately, folding the dough over the fat, then rolling and folding the dough over itself a number of times to produce distinct layers of dough and fat.

 * Paste for Tarts

Ceramics/Creating a Hard Slab

Ceramics: Step-By-Step Hard Slab Construction

Ceramics is a common type of art people use in the world today. You can often use a common type of ceramics called Hard Slab Construction. This type of construction is needed if you want to make a piece of work with sharp edges. In order for you to make this type of construction you need certain types of pottery tools. The tools are as following:

 * 1) Clay
 * 2) Rolling Pin
 * 3) Pottery Knife
 * 4) Rubber Rib
 * 5) Slip

You need the clay because you have to have it to make the construction. You need the rolling pin so you can get the clay flat and make sure that you get out all of the air bubbles so that your project doesn’t blow up.

You need the pottery knife so you can cut out the clay and make it even on both sides. If you want the sides to be accurate and pretty, put a ruler to the side of the clay, and make sure the edges are straight. You can also use a pottery knife to score the edges.

You need a rubber rib so that you can make the artwork smooth. In order for this to work you need a container of water so that you can dip it into the water to make it wet, and it can smooth out more easy.

You need slip so that when you put it together it doesn’t fall apart(you also need a fresh piece of wet clay to join the two pieces together.)

 * 1) Using a rolling pin, role the clay out until flat enough to use.
 * 2) Cut out the clay making all the edges nice and firm
 * 3) Cover up the cut out slabs with a plastic bag making sure that the clay is flat on the board
 * 4) Bevel each side of the clay so that when you put it together it has perfect edges.
 * 5) Using slip and score put the two pieces of leather hard clay together using a fresh piece of clay.
 * 6) Put a plastic bag over the artwork so that the fresh piece of clay can get leather hard with the rest of the piece, so the piece does not break.
 * 7) This is what your work would look like after it has been glazed and fired.

7plus (also stylised as 7+) is a video on demand, catch-up TV service run by the Seven Network. The service became available on 27 November 2017. 7plus also offers online live streaming of Channel 7, 7two, 7mate, 7Bravo, 7flix, Racing.com and 7Sport.

7plus is available across several platforms including Web, iOS and Android apps, FreeviewPlus certified TVs, Apple TV 4th Gen+, Fetch TV, Telstra TV, Chromecast, Android TV, Samsung TV, Sony Linux TV, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

2010–2017: PLUS7
PLUS7 was a catch up TV service run by the Seven Network through its Yahoo7 joint venture with Yahoo!. The service became available on 18 January 2010.

Some titles were exclusively available in Australia on PLUS7, including Other Space and Sin City Saints, as well as the British version of My Kitchen Rules, which were not broadcast on the Seven Network. In 2014, PLUS7 became the first commercial television catch-up service to provide optional closed captioning on most of its programming.

On 3 November 2015, PLUS7 launched a live streaming service called 7Live in time for Melbourne Cup day. In December 2015, 7live added Channel 7 digital channels, 7two and 7mate.

PLUS7 was available across several platforms including iOS mobile operating systems (e.g. iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch), Apple TV, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows 10, Sony internet-enabled TVs & Blu-ray players, LG internet-enabled TVs, Samsung internet-enabled TVs & Blu-ray players, Panasonic internet-enabled TVs, Hisense internet-enabled TVs, Humax set top boxes, Windows Mobile 7 & 8 and Samsung devices running Android OS 4.0+ and above.

2017–present: 7plus
Following the acquisition of Yahoo! by Verizon Communications in June 2017, Seven announced plans to launch a wholly owned standalone service to replace PLUS7 within the following six months. In September 2017, Seven announced the new service would be known as 7plus and would launch in November 2017. With the introduction of 7plus, PLUS7 was shut down, becoming unavailable on most platforms from 12 December 2017, and on remaining devices on 31 March 2018.

In March 2019, the service added two American-based linear channels, Pac-12 Network and Outdoor Channel, as well as on-demand offerings from these providers.

On 23 July 2020, 7plus introduced a new logo styled as 7+.

Talk:Movie making manual

Join the discussion on the MMM Google Group

Apple icon
I've seen that icon before. I know it's from iMovie or FCP or one of those. It looks awfully familiar; it's from an Apple product. It's altered, but I don't think that makes it legal. <IP_ADDRESS> 23:13, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi <IP_ADDRESS> (!), thanks loads for your comments. This issue was discussed briefly in the Google Groups list a while back... please do get involved in the discussion at the link above. Dan AKA Jack 10:15 21 Feb 2005 (GMT)

PC vs. Windows
The "Movie Making Manual-PC in film production" section should really read "Movie Making Manual-Windows in film production". A PC is a Personal Computer. Windows is just one OS that can run on the x86 arch.

 * Yeah, good idea. I'll move it... Dan AKA Jack 11:18 16 April 2005 (GMT)

WTF
I don't mean to be so negative, but I just read through the whole screenwriting section and it made me sick. It's HORRIBLE. The entire section focuses on futile tips and pointers to get a script accepted by a Hollywood studio and the screenwriter as merely one small cog in the machinery of one of them. The "writing for low budget" part made me laugh. It mentions writing extra scenes to have a "clean" version for when it goes to TV, and how to keep the rating down in order to sell more. In my opinion, this section should focus on ways to make a script believeable, with more focus on writing for low-budget, DIY projects. Ninety percent of the info here is completely worthless to anyone who isn't practically established in Hollywood.

 * Thanks for your comments. I would make two suggestions. Firstly, come and discuss your opinions in the MMM Google Group - we could do with a bit of controversy to spice things up! Secondly, if you don't like the content then edit it! Dan AKA Jack 8:55 22nd Sept 2005 (GMT)

 * As the person who wrote that section (for the most part) I'll say that it comes from my experience in the industry, dealing with a particular genre and distribution of film, namely action-adventure for the international market. Many other types of scripts exist for many other different demographic groups. I have written and read scripts from these other genres, however I do not feel qualified to run on about it as I have not yet produced these films. I think the section on screenwriting can benefit from your input as to how to makie a film believable, the two subjects do not have to remain mutually exclusive. The section needs more information... please write it. cauri 10:53 22nd Sept 2005 (GMT)

module naming
Hi, I believe you should consider refactoring the MMM to use either: See Naming policy for more information about this. Kellen T 17:08, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
 * A false namespace, like the cookbook. E.g. "Movie making manual:Screenplay format"
 * Subpages. E.g. "Movie making manual/Screenplay format"

 * Hi Kellen. Many thanks for your comments. To be honest, we gave quite a lot of thought to the module names (you can read our discussion on the topic here). Kellen, do you feel our existing naming convention is so bad that it MUST be changed? To be honest, it'll be a fair amount of work to change every module and I'm not eager to go through that hassle unless it's absolutely necessary. Dan AKA Jack 8:58 22nd Sept 2005 (GMT)

 * No, I don't think it must be changed, but it does look a bit odd in relation to the other books on here; I found myself having to look twice to find what the actual section name was in the title. The NP hasn't been accepted (yet) by WB as a whole, so there's no mandate in any case, but it might be easier now rather than later. Kellen T 08:28, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

 * OK, thanks for letting us know. I've alerted the MMM Google Group to this issue. Dan AKA Jack 10:27 22nd Sept 2005 (GMT)

 * On the topic of naming conventions, are there any naming conventions for categories? We're using quite a few categories for the movie making manual. See |this root MMM category to see our category naming in action. Dan AKA Jack 11:15 22nd Sept 2005 (GMT)

 * I don't think there are any conventions for categories. There's not really a lot of categorization going on here right now, so I don't think it's been seen as a real issue. The Cookbook has a lot of categories, but we have somewhat inconsistent names for them (fixing that is on my list of TODO's). I am sort of inclined to have a prefix on all the categories related to a particular book, e.g. "Category:Cookbook:Vegan recipes" or "Category:Movie making:Cinematography" because at some point I can see there being difficult overlaps when we have enough books. Who gets to own Category:Tools? or does that category just get polluted with modules from different books? Seems like the "top level" categories (ones w/o a prefix) should be for categorizing books as a whole, then scoped categories (w/ prefix) should be used w/in books.... but that's just me musing about it. Kellen T 17:25, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Humf... OK, maybe I should think about prefixing all our categories. I've asked about categories in the staff lounge. Kellen, you might like to cut-and-paste your response to the staff lounge. Dan AKA Jack 18:37 22nd Sept 2005 (GMT)

Hurricane Irene (1999) was a hurricane that produced moderate damage across southern Florida during the 1999 Atlantic hurricane season. The ninth tropical storm and the sixth hurricane of the season, Irene developed in the western Caribbean Sea on October 13 from a tropical wave. It moved northward, hitting western Cuba before attaining hurricane status. Irene struck Florida as a Category 1 hurricane, moved across the state, and moved northward over the Gulf Stream. It approached the Carolinas but remained offshore. Irene turned eastward, and rapidly intensified to reach Category 2 Hurricane Status before becoming extratropical due to cooler waters.

The hurricane first produced heavy rainfall across western Cuba, causing four deaths and damage. Irene was a wet Florida hurricane in October, similar to many hurricanes of the 1930s and 1940s. The hurricane produced 10 to 20 inches (255 to 510 mm) of rainfall in the Miami metropolitan area, causing urban flooding unseen since Tropical Storm Dennis in 1981. Despite being only a Category 1 hurricane, Irene caused 8 indirect deaths and $800 million (1999 USD) in damage across Florida.

The hurricane produced flooding and caused one death in the northwestern Bahamas. In North Carolina and Virginia, Irene produced heavy rainfall of over 10 inches (255 mm), adding more flooding after previous Hurricanes Dennis and Floyd. The flooding closed many roads, and caused rivers to crest past their banks, though damage in the area was relatively minor.

Talk:Abbas ibn Ali/Archive 1

Untitled
He was the example of the valiant and brave soldier whose name will live forever. God has made this a promise by surrounding his grave with water and that water will never go away. Our 12th imam AS also has said that " My salaam on him, whose both arms were cut off while fetching water for the thirsty." This shows the great status of Mola Abbas. Ghazi Abbas is the statue of Faithfulness and on the judgement day God will judge all the martyrs of war to his doings for Imam Hussain AS and his family.

May Mola Abbass' name live on forever and may allah bless me enough to view his face after my Death (inshallah I will see him as soon as I die).

Family
The information about the family of Hazrat Abbas is wrong. Who ever wrote the family section of Hazrat abbas’ article got confused between Hazrat Abbas (brother of Imam Hussain) and Abbas ibn Abd-al-Muttalib (The uncle of Prophet Muhammad). So I am going to delete that section and try my best to find out the right information about the family of Hazrat Abbas ibn Ali Talib.

Family
Hey there is no confusion in writing about the family of Hazrat Abbas. I think you are not aware of that but i have books to prove what i have mentioned. i am also writing some more details..

so please dont remove that..

Zaidi 18:40, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

As far as books are concerned try reading this. "Zikr-ul Abbas" by Moulana Syed Najam-ul Hasan (Language Urdu, Farsi)

Zaidi 18:37, 22 April 2006 (UTC) (Ghulam-e Abbas)

Thanks for giving the title of the book. Waqas Bhia. Now i can read it too! Salman

Why is this article tagged for "complete rewrite" and "neutrality"?
Please don’t just tag the article with “complete rewrite and neutrality” tags before you discuss the issue on the talk page. The tag say that for more information on why this article is tagged (complete rewrite and neutrality) see the talk page but their in nothing on the talk page that finalizes that this article is not neutrality and because of that it should be rewritten. This article is neutral because it is not using SAW, AS, or Imam. Like I said in the above paragraph that all branches of Islam respect and love Hazrat Abbas ibn Ali ibn Abu Talib because of his love and affection toward the holy house of Hazrat Muhammad SAW. Please provide proof before actually tagging the article. Thank You Salman

Article is pure Shi'a hagiography
The article uses religious honorifics. The article is written from a Shi'a Muslim POV and assumes the truth of the Shi'a faith. No references are given for ANYTHING. It is not encyclopedic in any way. I just haven't had time to rewrite it. Salman, either rewrite it in sober fashion, or wait until I do it -- within a week, if I can. DO NOT REMOVE THE TAGS. That is against the rules. Zora 01:12, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Zora thanks for your interest in the article of the family members of our Prophet Hazrat Mohammed SAW. You can not delete anything since you provide an example form the article that proves that the article is written from a Shi’a POV and as far as the tags are concerned I am going to let them stay there but you will have to provide us some sentences from the article that shows that the article is written from the Shi’a POV. Shi’as would not just say anything about their prophet Hazrat Muhammad SAW and the members of his household. So you can not delete anything from the article unless you provide a sentence from the article that shows that the article is written from the Shi’a POV. I mean you can not just say something you have read in a book, because there are some things that will never be going to be written because of so issues, but those things are real and did happen. Thank You Salman

Salman, you're suggestng that your article is based on 1300 years of oral tradition? And known only by you? That's simply not credible. It seems to be based on some Shi'a text. As for the Shi'a bias -- just look at this sentence:

 * Hazrat Abbas was also known by the names Abu al-Fadl Abbas, Abul Qasim, Abu Qurba, Sultan of Loyalty, Moon of the Hashemites, Strength of Hussain, Alamdar (Flag Bearer of Islam), Saqqa (Who Fetches Water), Afza sh-Shuada (Most Superior Martyr), last but not the least Babul Hawa’ij (the door to fulfilling needs)

No non-Muslims would give him those honorific titles. No Sunni would call him by those names. Those are Shi'a praise names, Salman, and they don't belong in the encyclopedia except in a section clearly marked "Shi'a POV". Zora 03:36, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Okay Zora, but before you write something about Hazrat Abbas ibn Ali (AS) first you will have to tell us (the Shi’as) what are you going to write about him. Because as far as I know Shi’as and Sunnis respect Hazrat Abbas ibn Ali (AS) because of his knowledge, respect, and love toward the Islamic Prophet Mohammad SAW and his holy household. Thank You Salman

 * Salman, there is no accountability to any specific group here. What about non-Muslims? This isn't Muslimpedia. As for those names, some of them aren't even Arabic - Alamdar is Persian. And the fact that you refer to a person as Hazrat X (AS) is proof enough of bias! em zilch 14:22, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

 * But I didn't say Hazrat is the article I am saying Hazrat in the talk page. I don’t even say (AS) or (SAW) after the name of my Prophet Hazrat Muhammad SAW in the article that I write or edit in wikipedia. As far as the titles of Hazrat Abbas (AS) are concerned than readers should also know they title that Hazrat Abbas as earned thought his bravery and courage. I am saying that I tried my best to keep the article neutral, instead of say Hazrat Abbas (AS), I said Abbas ibn Ali ibn Abu Talib (even thought I don’t feel comfortable saying their name without saying AS after their name), for the sake of being neutral. Hazrat Abbas (AS) is a Shi’a himself and no one knows him better then the Shi’a. All of the braches of Islam respect Hazrat Abbas (AS) because he was loyal to the holy household of Hazrat Muhammad SAW. But anyways, you will have to tell us what you r going to write about Hazrat Abbas (AS) after reading those books that you have. And Hazrat is a common word in Urdu; it is equivalent to Sir in English. In Urdu a man refers to another man as Hazrat. I mean just because I put Hazrat in front of Hazrat Abbas ibn Ali ibn Abu Talib does not mean that whatever is being states is being stated from a Shi’a POV. Thank You Salman

 * Reading this talk page means that Shia's are not allowed to edit any article. Do shias don't have any right to express their opinion in this Encyclopedia (subject to the condition that it is incorrect infront of some other larger sect) . I think an encyclopedia is an information bank where there is load of information and does not pertain to limited resources. what ever is explained in this article Abbas_ibn_Ali refers shia thinking !! but is fact infront of them (millions of shia people). so i dont think so that parts of this article should be deleted because of that above reason. Also some other's POV will be appreciated and that will be considered as an added info but please please dont remove any existing info present. please have a discussion on this talk page for the info you think is wrong and we will provide you the reason. i am updating the titles section regarding your concern. so have a look and see that if it proper now.. Zaidi 20:12, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Article is Shi'a-POV
The article as it stands is pure Shi'a hagiography. It uses Shi'a titles and praises Abbas for his devotion to Ali. We need to give a neutral presentation of facts accepted by all parties (academic historian, Sunni, and Shi'a) and then give the POVs of each of the parties. Zora 18:14, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Agree, it must be completely rewritten from scratch using reliable sources and wikipedic language. Pecher Talk 22:19, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

 * "It uses Shi'a titles and praises Abbas for his devotion to Ali", correct your sources Hazrat Abbas AS was the son of Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib AS and was the younger brother of Imam Hussain ibn Ali ibn Abu Talib AS and he was loved by Imam Hussain ibn Ali ibn Abu Talib AS and his household. And Zora what Shi'as title are you talking about, please give examples from the article. As far as the POV of Muslims is concerned, all branches of Islam respect Hazrat Abbas because of his bravery, courage, and his respect toward the holy household of Hazrat Muhammad SAW. Salman

Adding AS is not acceptable from a neutral point of view, and beside the fact, adding it after Abbas and others is a Shia idea. Sunnis and Ibadis have reserved AS for porphets only. --xx-Mohammad Mufti-xx 08:04, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Issues
The page looks much better but there is still work to do. The 2 main issues seem to be the use of 'hazrat' and citing the various stories/tradition. Why don't we keep 'hazrat' to show the devotion of shias but link it to new article where we explain the use of the word hazrat and bibi and like titles. Salman, bro, the traditions and stories are fine but they must have citations. Zora, the problem with shia bias is that most (maybe all) biographies of this personality are by shia historians or scholars. So i think the stories are fine but must be cited. --Aliasad 07:30, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't think keeping 'hazrat' to show the Shia's devotion is necessary...the entire article shows that, this one word makes little difference in light of it. Nevertheless, this isn't meant to be a "Shia" encyclopedia, and hazrat certainly doesn't belong. It could be mentioned perhaps somewhere that Shias add 'hazrat' before naming members of Ahl al-Bayt, but it's persistant use is against Wikipedia's article standards. See Neutral point of view. --xx-Mohammad Mufti-xx 08:15, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Well i have removed the word Hazrat from this article. Mainly because of the reason that the word Hazrat is an Urdu/Farsi word which is not suitable in English Wikipedia. I do understand that this change was necessary but completely disagree on writing of this artcle from scratch. i will make more changes (explaining citations etc) on this artcle written by me so that our's Shia POV is differentiated. For any kind of other comments please use this discussion page. Regards Zaidi 07:02, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I've removed the title 'Imam' and made some other small changes. Zaidi's right, we need to add citations to verify the accuracy of the whole article.  Will continue working on it... --aliasad 19:33, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

'Sakina binte Husayn' Section
Salman, I did not delete the 'sakina' section. I only put the 'sakina' section into the 'fight and martydom' section to make the article easier to follow and more readable. The article would be more readable and easier to follow (for those not familiar) if the 'Sakina binte Husayn' section was merged into the 'Fight and Martydom' section. Salman, please don't make it hard to continue improving the article. You don't own this article, and every change does not need to be okayed by you. I did not add an unreferenced source. I only reorganized and edited the article for language. Accepting or rejecting my changes needs to be done by a concensus - not by you deciding its better to keep the article the way it is because you wrote it. Try to work with my changes instead of reverting them. See Dispute Resolution. This discussion is not a dispute, but every edit I make seems to be grounds to dispute for you. Oh, and your continued reverting of my changes makes it hard to improve the language of the article which needs a lot of improvement. --aliasad 12:33, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes but in future can you please mention it on the talk page, just so other wikipedians know what's going on in the article. Thank You Salman 14:38, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * i think that merging this section with later one is not justice. cos this topic, if explained, is so long that can be considered as a seperate article. however an intro must be present in this article. the reason is that karbala's story revolves much around this section. any way i will be adding more data related with it. please check some more references added. as far as alisad's concern about the language of the book mentioned. so bro translations of these authentic books into English, French, Urdu languages are available easily. Regards Zaidi 19:27, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The concern is about the accurately representing the relationship between 2 personalities. However, this article is only about one of those personalities. For the readability, and flow, of the article, there need not be a seperate 'sakina binte husayn' section. This article does not get better when 3 sentence sections are added - I have removed 'persons killed by abbas' and added some of the content to another section. Try and fit new info into the existing sections. The article need only give a basic summary as to who this personality was so as to inform the uninformed. Most of the references added recently have been in a foreign language. If there translations of these books that are cited, then it is the english version of those books that must be cited.aliasad 18:53, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

This article is STILL Shi'a hagiography
The article reads as if it came from a Shi'a website -- in fact, if I looked, I'll bet I'd find it did come from a Shi'a website. It is a gross embarrassment to WP. Unfortunately, there's only one of me and I'm short of time. Someone PLEASE help by cutting the article down to what you'd find, say, in the Encylopedia of Islam, 2nd edition. Zora 23:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Zora as far as article is concerned its purely written by me and edited by many. find it on the world wide web if you can. as far encyclopedia of islam is concerned then this is not authentic in front of many sects. Zaidi 04:01, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Invalid citations
The article references other Wikipedia articles. According to the Wikipedia Guidlines, these should not be used as sources to write other articles. Furthmore, the link to reference number 5 (|"The Martydom of Imam Husain (RA)") is no longer working. The same goes for reference number 12 ("The Great Sacrafice"). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Voiceofplanet (talk • contribs) 15:52, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

al-Abbas Rewrite
I removed the third paragraph of the introduction which states a completely ridiculous story that is purely hagiography about how Muhammed knew of Husayn's hardship and instead of doing the sane thing which is clearly stating to all Muslims what is going to happen and forbidding them to participate, instructs Ali to marry so that he will breed a strong companion to Husayn. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:23, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Name continuity
I think that it'd be helpful if there was more continuity of the names that are used in this article, i.e. making sure the same name is used to refer to a particular individual throughout the entire article. This includes picking one anglicized spelling of each name(e.g. Hussien vs Husayn). I know it's not easy, as there is no "correct" spelling of the name in English, but I think these changes would help readers (especially those that are unfamiliar with the story) follow the article better. Caduon (talk) 02:39, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Ghazi
It says he is also know with the title Ghazi. Is it worth mentioning in the beginning as another name that he is referred to as or does everyone think it is fine as is? Leefkrust22 (talk) 21:11, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

copyedit
This page had a copyedit tag on it, but it is generally well written. However there are sections in the history which don't quite make sense (see for example the sentences about Husain sending his cousin to Kufa, but his cousin being killed before he arrives. This needs an expert in the subject to fix this up, so I have removed the copyedit tag and replaced with the expert tag - it would be great if someone knowleadgeable in the history could just carefully read through the remaining sections to make sure that everything makes sense.

Copy-edit of November 3, 2015
In response to a request for a copy-edit at WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests, I have reviewed this article and made numerous copy-edits. However, there are so many things that are unclear in this article that I decided the easiest way to make it clear exactly what is unclear was to leave "clarification needed" tags with hidden notes and questions to editors. This article still needs a lot of work, and, as mentioned above, could use the help of a person knowledgeable in the subject. I also wonder about the sourcing, but I'm not an expert on that. Baffle gab1978 Can you add something here regarding the sourcing, or lack thereof? Corinne (talk) 01:27, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Latin/Lesson 1

Untitled
You could also view the agere as having no stem, and there would be no point in listing it in a dictionary because there is no stem to list.

Is this correct

-<IP_ADDRESS> 03:41, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC) user:smkatz

Case endings
I'm starting to use this book to learn Latin. So my comments can be considered as end user views. There is a note on case endings in the first topic "What is Latin?". I don't know anything about case endings, and am not sure if it is a common knowledge. Is it appropriate to mention this in an introductary topic? --Sivaraj 06:31, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Word Parts
What "is" a stem? I didn't understand the definition that is in the textbook. That's all.

I would remove all but the "root" and "stem" subsection from this section. For one thing, I have no idea what the subsection "derivatives" is trying to teach; the example makes no sense. I left it in for now on the off-chance it's just me, but it should probably go. (Plus, that's not usually what "derivatives" means to Latin students used to the context of, say, Latin "caput" leading to English "capital.") As far as primitives are concerned, I've never used the term outside of linguistics class. Can we stick to basic Latin here? (Also, the subsection on suffixes can and should be merged with "stem.") --Hieronymous85 15:08, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

In the Root discussion, I found the phrase "which is in common to words of similar meaning" confusing. Perhaps the author meant either "is in common with..." or "is common to". But "in common to" is not a commonly used phrase in English.

Nouns
This is not a standard definition at all. Where did whoever wrote this section find the definition? Pronouns and adjectives are not necessarily types of noun; they are separate parts of speech altogether.

"Substantive" should refer to nouns and adjectives used as nouns.

"Flexion"? That appears to be a linguistics term used only in German.

"Accidents" is overly technical.

Parenthetical explanations after gender, number and case are borderline wrong. Perhaps number can be discerned from the ending, but is not determined by it. Gender is not determined by the ending for either nouns, adjectives or pronouns, nor does a noun's ending necessarily reflect its gender (cf. quercus [f.], dominus [m.], tempus [n.]). Gender sometimes changes for nouns, in the case of so-called "common" nouns, such as canis. Further, not all pronouns occur agree with their antecedents in case -- relative pronouns come to mind. At best, this section is misleading and confusing.

Can somebody justify all this, or should I just rewrite? --Hieronymous85 15:32, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

conflection vs. inflection
The Stem

...When one adds an ending suffix to a word's stem, they are conflecting

Suffixes

Latin uses suffixes known as 'endings' on stems to turn stems into words ... This is known as inflection.

Seems like the same idea being expressed by two words, or what?

--Gzur 23:42, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

adverbs
nothing on those =p

"used to qualify verbs or adjectives" should read "used to qualify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs".

Basic Vocabulary
under word parts->the root, 'ago' is given to mean, I drive

but under primitives, the root ag is defined as to act

and later on, under verbs, 'ago' is defined as I do

could somebody please clarify all of the above?

 * I've tried to clear it up a bit; I don't think much of this information is useful to a beginning Latinist anyway. --Hieronymous85 15:00, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Summary formatting?
With the current table, one might get the impression that there's a correlation between the items on each row. A less inventive layout might be better. <IP_ADDRESS> 06:43, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Agree. Furthermore, the table indicates that pronouns are "nouns used in place of substantives and adjectives". I don't claim to know all aspects of grammar, but I'm I never learned, nor can imagine myself, a case where a pronoun is used in place of an adjective. And even if this is somehow so, it is not mentioned above in the pronoun definition.

Some bits
Roberto Enrique Tait (discuss • contribs) 17:57, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) It's not enough clear the difference between sentences and clauses; and "sentence" hasn't definition while "clause" has one.
 * 2) Suffixes are introduced before the "ending" concept. See "The Stem".
 * 3) In the example for Derivatives is said «the stem flamm- from the word flamma has the root "flag."» where "flag." isn't written in italics and have a confusing dot too (the text uses italics without dots for roots; see ag in "The Root").

My Edits
I added some info on English stress on the first syllable. I found personally that understanding stress in Latin was quite abstract and it was a book called "A Biography Of The English Language" by C.M. Millward that really helped. So I've taken the view that it might be useful to include this difference from Latin and to highlight that this drive towards emphasis on the first syllable in English has been a constant feature of English since its earliest days.

However if you feel as though the material I've added is counter-productive than feel free to revert my edits. More a musician than a linguist.

Thanks

Romania is Roman?
What is the point of saying that modern Romanian has lost the Ablative Case. This is Lesson 1 and the heading for this paragraph is "What is Latin". Just seems to be beyond the needs of the stated heading. Introducing the Ablative Case in relation to its loss in Romania just complicates things. Lets face it most people don't even realize the connection between the country's name and the origin of the people - most people in the UK think Romanians are of Slavic or Germanic descent.

I don't know if I want to mess with the previous authors work but if no one objects a week or two later I may rewrite "What is Latin" to remove the above.

Wiki Topic
Insulator (genetics)

An insulator is a type of cis-regulatory element regulatory element known as a long-range regulatory element. Found in multicellular multicellular eukaryotes and working over distances from the promoter element of the target gene, an insulator is typically 300 bp to 2000 bp in length. Insulators contain clustered binding sites for sequence specific DNA-binding proteins and mediate intra- and inter-chromosomal interactions. Insulators function either as an enhancer-blocker or a barrier, or both. The mechanisms by which an insulator preforms these two functions include loop formation and nucleosome modifications. There are many examples of insulators including the CTCF insulator, the gypsy insulator, and the $$\beta$$-globin locus. The CTCF insulator is especially important in vertebrates, while the gypsy insulator is implicated in Drosophila. The $$\beta$$-globin locus was first studied in chicken, and then in humans for its insulator activity, both of which utilize CTCF. The genetic implications of insulators lie in its involvement in a mechanism of imprinting, and its ability to regulate transcription. Mutations to insulators are linked to cancer as a result of cell cycle disregulation, tumourigenesis, and silencing of growth suppressors.

Function
Insulators have two main functions : While enhancer-blocking is classified as an inter-chromosomal interaction, acting as a barrier is classified as an intra-chromosomal interaction. The need for insulators arises where two adjacent genes on a chromosome have very different transcription patterns; it is critical that the inducing or repressing mechanisms of one do not interfere with the neighbouring gene. Insulators have also been found to cluster at the boundaries of topologically associating domains (TADs) and may have a role in partitioning the genome into "chromosome neighborhoods" - genomic regions within which regulation occurs.
 * 1) Enhancer-blocking insulators prevent distal enhancers from acting on the promoter of neighbouring genes
 * 2) Barrier insulators prevent silencing of euchromatin by the spread neighbouring heterochromatin

Some insulators can act as both enhancer blocker and barriers, and some just have one of the two functions. Some examples of different insulators are :
 * Drosophila melanogaster insulators gypsy and scs scs are both enhancer-blocking insulators
 * Gallus gallus have insulators, Lys 5' A that have both enhancer-blocking and barrier activity, as well as HS4 that have only enhancer-blocking activity
 * Saccharomyces cerevisiae insulators STAR and UASrpg are both barrier insulators
 * Homo sapiens HS5 insulator acts as an enhancer-blocker

Enhancer-blocking insulators
Similar mechanism of action for enhancer-blocking insulators; chromatin loop domains are formed in the nucleus that separates the enhancer and the promoter of a target gene. Loop domains are formed through the interaction between enhancer-blocking elements interacting with each other or securing chromatin fibre to structural elements within the nucleus. The action of these insulators is dependent on being positioned between the promoter of the target gene and the upstream or down stream enhancer. The specific way in which insulators block enhancers is dependent on the enhancers mode of action. Enhancers can directly interact with their target promoters through looping (direct-contact model), in which case an insulator prevents this interaction through the formation of a loop domain that separates the enhancer and promoter sites and prevents the promoter-enhancer loop from forming. An enhancer can also act on a promoter through a signal (tracking model of enhancer action). This signal may be blocked by an insulator through the targeting of a nucleoprotein complex at the base of the loop formation.

Barrier insulators
Barrier activity has been linked to the disruption of specific processes in the heterochromatin formation pathway. These types of insulators modify the nucleosomal substrate in the reaction cycle that is central to heterochromatin formation. Modifications are achieved through various mechanisms including nucleosome removal, in which nucleosome-excluding elements disrupt heterochromatin from spreading and silencing (chromatin-mediated silencing). Modification can also be done through recruitment of histone acetyltransferase(s) and ATP-dependent nucleosome remodelling complexes.

CTCF Insulator
The CTCF insulator appears to have enhancer blocking activity via its 3D structure and have no direct connection with barrier activity. Vertebrates in particular appear to rely heavily on the CTCF insulator, however there are many different insulator sequences identified. Insulated neighborhoods formed by physical interaction between two CTCF-bound DNA loci contain the interactions between enhancers and their target genes.

Regulation
One mechanism of regulating CTCF is via methylation of it's DNA sequence. CTCF protein is known to favourably bind to unmethylated sites, so it follows that methylation of CpG islands is a point of epigenetic regulation. An example of this is seen in the Igf2-H19 imprinted locus where methylation of the paternal imprinted control region (ICR) prevents CTCF from binding. A second mechanism of regulation is through regulating proteins that are required for fully functioning CTCF insulators. These proteins include, but are not limited to cohesin, RNA polymerase, and CP190.

gypsy insulator
The insulator element that is found in the gypsy retrotransposon of Drosophila is one of several sequences that have been studied in detail. The gypsy insulator can be found in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of the retrotransposon element. Gypsy affects the expression of adjacent genes pending insertion into a new genomic location, causing mutant phenotypes that are both tissue specific and present at certain developmental stages. The insulator likely has an inhibitory effect on enhancers that control the spatial and temporal expression of the affected gene.

$$\beta$$-globin locus
The first examples of insulators in vertebrates was seen in the chicken $$\beta$$-globin locus, cHS4. cHS4 marks the border between the active euchromatin in the $$\beta$$-globin locus and the upstream heterochromatin region that is highly condensed and inactive. The cHS4 insulator acts as both a barrier to chromatin-mediated silencing via heterochromatin spreading, and blocks interactions between enhancers and promoters. A distinguishing characteristic of cHS4 is that it has a repetative heterochromatic region on its 5' end.

The human $$\beta$$-globin locus homologue of cHS4 is HS5. Different from the chicken $$\beta$$-globin locus, the human $$\beta$$-globin locus has an open chromatin structure and is not flanked by a 5' heterochromatic region. HS5 is thought to be a genetic insulator in vivo as it has both enhancer-blocking activity and transgene barrier activities.

CTCF was first characterized for its role in regulating $$\beta$$-globin gene expression. At this locus, CTCF functions as an insulator-binding protein forming a chromosomal boundary. CTCF is present in both the chicken $$\beta$$-globin locus and human $$\beta$$-globin locus. Within cHS4 of the chicken $$\beta$$-globin locus, CTCF binds to a region (FII) that is responsible for enhancer blocking activity.

Imprinting
The ability of enhancers to activate imprinted genes is dependent on the presence of an insulator on the unmethylated (see methylation) allele between the two genes. An example of this is the Igf2-H19 imprinted locus. In this locus the CTCF protein regulates imprinted expression by binding to the unmethylated maternal imprinted control region (ICR) but not on the paternal ICR. When bound to the unmethylated maternal sequence, CTCF effectively blocks downstream enhancer elements from interacting with the Igf2 gene promoter, leaving only the H19 gene to be expressed.

Transcription
When insulatorv sequences are located in close proximity to the promoter of a gene, it has been suggested that they might serve to stabilize enhancer-promoter interactions. When they are located farther away from the promoter, insulator elements would compete with the enhancer and interfere with activation of transcription. Loop formation is common in eukaryotes to bring distal elements (enhancers, promoters, locus control regions) into closer proximity for interaction during transcription. The mechanism of enhancer-blocking insulators then, if in the correct position, could play a role in regulating transcription activation.

Mutations and Cancer
CTCF insulators affect the expression of genes implicated in cell cycle regulation processes that are important for cell growth, cell differentiation, and programmed cell death (Apoptosis). Two of these cell cycle regulation genes that are known to interact with CTCF are hTERT and C-MYC. In these cases, a loss of function mutation to the CTCF insulator gene changes the expression patterns and may affect the interplay between cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis and lead to tumourigenesis or other problems.

CTCF is also required for the expression of tumour repressor retinoblastoma (Rb) gene and mutations and deletions of this gene are associated with inherited malignancies. When the CTCF binding site is removed expression of Rb is decreased and tumours are able to thrive.

Other genes that encode cell cycle regulators include BRCA1, and p53, which are growth suppressors that are silenced in many cancer types, and whose expression is controlled by CTCF. Loss of function of CTCF in these genes leads to the silencing of the growth suppressor and contributes to the formation of cancer.

Ivan Strack

Ivan Strack (Иван Штрак; born 1991) is a Russian serial killer, responsible for the murders of two underage girls in 2005, while he was still a minor, and also another killing committed 12 years later, for which he was given 22 years imprisonment. Strack also confessed to killing his grandfather in December 2003, but this claim hasn't been conclusively proven.

Early life
Born into a family with German roots, Strack lived his with his mother and older brother, a security guard, as his father lived separately from them and rarely saw Ivan. At school, he was described as a handsome, well-mannered boy with a nerdy appearance, although a rather quiet one. In November 2004, his mother died suddenly, and little Ivan was taken under the care of his older brother, who took full custody of him. It's unclear how this tragedy affected Strack, but it presumably had a taxing effect on his psyche.

Andrei Strack
Andrei Andreyevich Strack, Ivan's 64-year-old grandfather, had a past littered with crime: since around the mid-1960s of the Soviet era, he was tried for several types of crimes, including hooliganism, possession of weapons and drugs (a rare offence for that time). After the regime's fall, Andrei began running a legitimate business as the owner of a parking lot, but rumors persisted that he had illegally acquired a number of cafes and enterprises around the city.

On December 6, 2004, the former convict was brutally murdered in his apartment. According to the investigators, Andrei likely knew his killer, as he had opened his door to them; it was highly unlikely to be a break-in, as his door was equipped with magnets and was opened using a remote control. The elder Strack had suffered injuries to the back of his head and his occipital lobe, inflicted with a sharp weapon, as he was likely bled out on the carpet after being struck. Upon discovery by his sibling Nikolai and his wife Nelly, a large kitchen knife covered in blood was found lying nearby, the walls stained with blood, along with the grim detail of Andrei's fingers being cut off. Robbery was ruled out as a motive, as a massive gold chain, an expensive watch and two signet rings were found laying on a table next to the body.

According to Ivan's confession, on that day he had visited his grandfather to exchange some videotapes. During his stay there, the two started a trivial argument over some buckwheat porridge, which Ivan had dropped on the carpet, along with a plate. After allegedly killing Andrei, Ivan continued to live on as if nothing had happened, even acquiring a newspaper article about the murder from a classmate who had brought it to school. Out of respect, the other student handed it over to the supposedly grieving grandson.

Doubt was quickly cast over this confession, as it was likely that Andrei - a tall, healthy man weighing around 120 kilograms - would've been able to prevent his 14-year-old attacker from harming him just by raw strength. Authorities interpreted it as Strack just taking the blame for a crime he hadn't committed, a theory supported by his relatives.

Katya Shkurko and Anya Shibaeva
Both students of the 10th-secondary school, the 13-year-old Katya was a love interest for Ivan, who also studied in the school. She was considered his girlfriend by her classmates, as they often talked together, with Strack also visiting her house. At some point, she broke up with him, and they no longer saw each other as often.

On March 6, 2005, Shkurko was called by Strack so they could take a walk through the forest, to which she agreed, bringing the 11-year-old Anya along. The trio were together for a long time, taking in the beautiful surrounding scenery and talking to each other. At some point, Strack pulled out a knife and starting stabbing Katya a total of 10 times in the face, neck and chest. Frightened, Shibaeva ran away in horror, but Ivan caught up to her and stabbed her 4 times until she was dead. He then hid the body behind some bushes, and stole both of the girls' phones, which he had wanted to have for a long time.

The following day, Shkurko's body was found by a retired military doctor named Nikolai Kirilenko, who had a country house in the area. He immediately realized that she was dead, and called the authorities, who soon found Shibaeva's body around 10 meters away. Noting that their phones were missing, police started an investigation into the possible clues, which led them back to Ivan Strack, who had put up one of the phones for sale. While conducting a search of his home, the other phone was also located. Soon after, the young Strack confessed to the murders in detail, without much of an expression, including that of his grandfather. Soon after the events, he was sent off to a psychiatric hospital in Tula, where he would remain for another 12 years.

Ekaterina Frolova
In 2017, Strack was released from prison, and started work in a salon. His workplace was shared with a store, where 20-year-old Ekaterina Frolova worked. It is alleged that Ivan might've developed feelings for Frolova, but he only confessed to wanting her phone. He was also mad at her, as she hadn't paid him for some kind of repairing he had done. Brandishing a knife, on July 8, he broke into Ekaterina's apartment and killed her, also attacking her 19-year-old Anastasia Khlebnikova. Strack was arrested on the spot, and again confessed to his crimes. On this instance, he was given 22 years imprisonment, which are to be served at an undisclosed psychiatric hospital in Tula.
