Bahá'í Faith/Prophecy/Old Testament

Prophecy of the Old Testament

Ancestors

 * Isaiah 37:31 Once more a remnant of the house of Judah will take root below and bear fruit above.

 * Isaiah 11:10 In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his place of rest will be glorious.

 * Isaiah 11:1 A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.

 * Isaiah 16:5 In love a throne will be established; in faithfulness a man will sit on it--one from the house of David--one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness.

When He will come

 * Daniel 9:25-26a (NKJV) (25) "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks * and sixty-two weeks; the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times. (26a) "And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; and the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.

 * The Hebrew says a "seven", not a "week". A "seven" could be a period of seven days or seven weeks, months, or here, seven years.

Where He will come

 * Micah 5:2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.

 * Isaiah 9:1 Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan.

Nature

 * Isaiah 9:6-7 (NIV) (6) For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. (New American Bible: upon his shoulder dominion rests) And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

 * Proverbs 30:4 (NKJV)
 * Who has ascended into heaven, or descended?
 * Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
 * Who has bound the waters in a garment?
 * Who has established all the ends of the earth?
 * What is His name, and what is His Son's name, if you know?

Personality

 * Isaiah 11:2-5 (2) The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him—the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD—(3) and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears; (4) but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. (5) Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist.

 * Isaiah 16:5 In love a throne will be established; in faithfulness a man will sit on it--one from the house of David--one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness.

Activities

 * * Isaiah 11:4 but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.

Authority

 * Deuteronomy 18:18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you (like Moses) from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.

Miracles

 * Isaiah 29:18 In that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.

 * Isaiah 35:5-6a (5) Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. (6a) Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy.

How He will come

 * Isaiah 11:10 In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his place of rest will be glorious.

 * Isaiah 49:7 This is what the LORD says-- the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel-- to him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the servant of rulers: "Kings will see you and rise up, princes will see and bow down, because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you."

Reaction to His arrival

 * Isaiah 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

 * Psalm 69:4 Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause, those who seek to destroy me. I am forced to restore what I did not steal.

 * Zechariah 12:10 They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.

Acceptance

 * Zechariah 2:10-11 (10) "Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you," declares the LORD. (11) "Many nations will be joined with the LORD in that day and will become my people. I will live among you and you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you.

Rejection

 * Isaiah 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

 * Psalm 69:4 Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause, those who seek to destroy me. I am forced to restore what I did not steal.

 * Psalms 69:8 I am a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my own mother's sons

Results

 * Isaiah 61:1-2 (1) The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, (2) to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,

 * Isaiah 49:6 he (the Lord) says: "It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth."

 * Isaiah 42:1 "Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations (Gentiles).

Talk:World History/World Religions

I would say the Baha'i Faith is indeed a religion... look at the wikipedia entry: Baha'i Faith --- djKianoosh - 17 May 2005

The Baha'i Faith is a cult. You may want to be politically correct, but it has so few adherents that it can hardly be called a major religion, at any point in history. That is what this page is meant for.--Naryathegreat|(talk) 04:00, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

I agree - whether Baha'i is a religion or not is only semantics; it hasn't had a large enough impact on world history to merit inclusion in this summary. --Lady~Macbeth 6 July 2005 22:15 (UTC)

A look into the Kitab-i-Aqdas (the most holy book of the Baha'i) may give any interested person deep insights into the nature of this faith and is therefore strongly recommended. Please note especially the things that are said about the rights of women. Please mark also: the so-called Universal House of Justice, the highest elected Baha'i administrative and legislative council is considered infallible (like the Pope!) in its decisions. It will become, as the Baha'i believe, the world governement in the future, when the majority of mankind will be Baha'i. Only Baha'i have electional rights in the elections of the Universal House of Justice! No woman may be elected to serve in the Universal House of Justice (so much to equal rights). greetings seeker

This section is supposed to explain how different religions affected history, not act as a crash course on each religion, imo. Perhaps the title is a misnomer, and this section should be moved into other relevant pages (i.e. Christianity -> Later Roman, Middle Ages pages, Islam -> Middle East, etc.) --Tai

Zoroastrianism
you guys have forgot about one of the most important religions. You cant have a history book without Zoroastrianism. In case you dont know what Zoroastrianism is, look it up. It was the first ever monotheistic religion.

Organization of Page
I'm curious. Why organize this page alphabetically? Is this page meant to be like a glossary? Otherwise, why not organize it chronologically or regionally and then chronologically? Just curious. DW5 (talk)

Hi!!!

I began at Wikiversity at the begining of 2007. I am a native speaker of English and live in Australia. My interests are in ancient history, especially around the Mediterranean. At school I am learning Latin from the Oxford Latin Course having recently swapped from the Cambridge Latin Course I am trying to teach myself Ancient Greek from the Athenaze Course I intend to help with these languages until the project overtakes my knowledge and then to learn from them. I am also on simple english wikipedia.

Latin is a language,

Dead as it can be.

First it killed the Romans,

Now its killing me.

All are dead who wrote it,

Location
Ion resides near the ocean in the land known as Sweden.

Interests

 * Computer programming.
 * Java
 * PHP
 * C++
 * Seals.
 * Hiking and camping.
 * Language, especially Mandarin.

The name
The name Ion comes primarly from a play on the words Sea lion, where if you split it in half and change the order you end up with "Ion Seal". Secondarily, Ion is appropriate, because "Ion's are small and insignificant, yet vitally important. Sometimes positive, sometimes negative. Often 'one electron short of an atom', though." Thirdly, it's short, snappy, and easy to remember. It is also a distorted version of "John".

One disadvantage is that it may be difficult to translate well to Chinese, ending up with a three-syllable thing like "Ai-Ou-Ne" or something, so for the benefit of our beloved 20% of the population, Ion is known to them as Qi Haibao (奇海豹), meaning Weird/Wonderful Sea Leopard (i.e. Seal).

The Design Argument

What is the Design Argument?
The Design Argument for the existence of God focuses on the perceived order and regularity of nature and the universe to posit the existence of a higher being or deity. Also known as the teleological argument (from the Greek telos, meaning end or purpose; it focuses on empirical evidence and sense experience as opposed to a priori internal logic and rationality - it is, therefore, an a posteriori argument.

There are two forms of this argument, the analogical argument, as proposed by Paley (and discussed below in the analogy of the watch), and the inductive argument which can be breiefly summarised as stating that when we observe the world we see regularity, and regularity implies adherence to laws. Laws have to have been put in place, and that something was God.

There is another side the design argument by david hume he says that why compare the eye to a watch? why not compare it to a dandelion instead.We do not know if this god is a good god e.g. because of earthquakes, tsunamis, disease.

The Analogy of the Watch
The argument was first put forward by William Paley with the analogy of the watch. He claimed that if a man were to walk across a heath and were to see a watch, he could easily tell it apart from the inanimate and technically simple other entities on the heath, for example rocks and stones. He could do this because of the many parts and mechanisms that comprise the form of the watch, and Paley claims that it would be rational to say that the watch is the product of a designer due to the fact that all of the parts work together in perfect unison to tell the time. Paley therefore claimed that this was true of the world; the earth is so perfect for human life that it could not have happened by chance. This would indicate that had been designed, and Paley claimed that this designer was God.

How does the argument work?
The basic formation of the argument can be outlined as follows:

1. x is a complex, highly intricate biological being. All of its parts function perfectly, in unison, towards some kind of goal (for example, eye = seeing)

2. Therefore, x must have been created by something intelligent, because it is such a complex entity.

3. This intelligent force is God.

4. Therefore, due to the existence of x, God exists.

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 75, based on 8 reviews. Aggregator Album of the Year gave the release a 73 out of 100 based on a critical consensus of 11 reviews. Nick Roseblade from Clash Magazine said of the album: "[the album] shows a band in flux. The songs sounds bigger and more articulated. Menace Beach are using a larger musical palate and it mostly works, swapping the messy surf guitars and charming slacker vibes while allowing the songs to speak for themselves.

Template talk:Major schools

Improvements to be done
| Agriculture
 * Clicks on images go to department, not image source
 * Better images (Hopefully all of the same theme, made by an awesome graphic designer)

Shouldn't this be called major schools header?--Rayc 03:56, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes. --JWSchmidt 13:53, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Media Studies is NOT Media
Should the MEDIA link be to MEDIA or to MEDIA STUDIES?

Media Studies is just one small aspect of Media. "Media Studies" is the study of the EFFECT of media on society. It is not the study of media production, etc.

 * 1) If there is only a single MEDIA link, it should be to MEDIA which has MEDIA STUDIES as one element of MEDIA.
 * 2) If you really mean that the link should be to MEDIA STUDIES, then there needs to be additional links on the page to the other elements of MEDIA... including FILMMAKING.

As and example, MUSIC is one of the categories. It is not MUSIC APPRECIATION but rather all of music including Music Appreciation. "Music Appreciation" is not the study of music production. We don't have a special links for both MUSIC and MUSIC APPRECISTION. Same with Media Studies. Media Studies does not include the study of the production of media such as Filmmaking. So the link on the page is to the wrong subject.

Alternatives:
 * 1) Create a new page for MEDIA which contains both links to media creation and media studies. Then change the link to MEDIA, not MEDIA STUDIES.
 * 2) Create separate links for MEDIA STUDIES and MEDIA CREATION (inclucing filmmaking). MEDIA STUDIES is only the study of the effect of media on society so links to the other aspects of MEDIA must also be included.

What's your thoughts? Robert Elliott 28 January 2007 (PST)

 * This template generates a list of major schools. There is also Template:Major departments header which lists important content development projects that are in the "Topic:" namespace. That would be a good place for Topic:Narrative Film Production. --JWSchmidt 06:55, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

There should be a school called "Media". There should be a major department called "Media Studies". The current setup is incorrect. Media Studies, just like Music Appreciation, should not be a school. Media Studies should be a major department which should be in the school of Media. Robert Elliott 09:14, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Error in Schools

 * Wikipedia has a short list of major portals on its Main Page: Arts, Biography, Geography, History, Mathematics, Science, Society, Technology. While still at Wikibooks, the Wikiversity community started a list of schools (see b:Wikiversity:Wikiversity Schools) and a few major groups of schools such as Social Sciences. In the time since the Wikiversity website started, there have been a some modifications to the organizational system started at Wikibooks. The list of major Wikiversity portals used on the Wikiversity Main Page now includes Portal:Media. You are welcome to start School:Media, but the alternative is to continue to create schools for more specific content development projects related to various aspects of media. In particular, I do not understand why School:Film is a redirect to one particular main namespace page about film. School:Film could be a content development project where Wikiversity participants collaborate to create, organize and develop learning resources about film. --JWSchmidt 15:26, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Do not abbreviate or truncate words

 * Unless it is absolutely necessary, do not abbreviate or truncate words.

 * Confusing
 * Some people can be confused by abbreviations. It is hard enough to learn English without having to learn abbreviations for English.

 * Letters are inexpensive
 * It cost no more to have full words. Abbreviations were developed to save book publishers money.  We don't need that here.

 * Example
 * On the Major School Template, the words "Advanced Genital Studies" should not be truncated to "Adv. Gen'l. Studies" as this might confuse people. Robert Elliott 02:56, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Cookbook:French Toast

| Vegetarian | Breakfast

French toast is a common breakfast or dessert item made by frying a piece of bread soaked in an egg batter. French toast was developed as a way to use day-old stale bread. The literal translation of pain perdu is lost bread, referring to old or stale bread. When lacking stale bread, toasting your bread lightly will help it absorb more of the egg and milk batter.

French toast is usually served with toppings similar to those used for pancakes, waffles, and toast. It can also be served as part of a fried breakfast with savory foods like sausages, tomato (or ketchup), baked beans, fried mushrooms etc.

This recipe is easily scalable.

French toast

 * 1 egg
 * About ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 oz) milk or cream (more for softer, less eggy French toast; less for firmer, more eggy toast)
 * 2–3 slices bread (see notes)
 * Butter, margarine, or cooking oil

Optional flavorings

 * ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or similar
 * ¼–1 teaspoon nutmeg, cinnamon or other powdered spices suitable for sweet foods
 * ½ teaspoon sugar or honey
 * ¼ teaspoon salt
 * ¼ teaspoon pepper

Suggested toppings

 * Maple syrup
 * Jam, jelly, fruit syrup
 * Whipped cream
 * Powdered sugar
 * Nuts
 * Honey
 * Bacon
 * Raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and/or bananas

Procedure

 * 1) In a bowl, mix eggs and milk, and optional ingredients.
 * 2) Heat up a frying pan, skillet, or griddle to medium-low heat.
 * 3) Grease the pan with butter, margarine, or cooking spray.
 * 4) Soak a slice of bread in the egg-milk mixture and place on pan; repeat until pan is full or desired amount is placed.
 * 5) Cook, turning once, until both sides of the bread are browned and the inside is cooked through.
 * 6) Serve on plates, with toppings as desired.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * The goal is to get both sides of the French toast nicely browned, while making sure the center is cooked. Using excessive heat could scorch the outside of the toast while leaving the inside undercooked.

 * If making a small batch, soak the two slices until almost all of the mixture has been absorbed. If the bowl is small, place the two slices on top of each other, and keep switching and flipping them, so that all four sides will absorb the mixture.

 * The cooking process is too short to use most raw spices, but some fresh herbs might be very tasty.

 * If using sandwich bread, a plastic sandwich container may be used for the egg-milk mixture. This allows maximum use of the mixture, as the container is a good size and shape.

 * Toast your bread before dipping it into the mix to create a solid base.
 * The following types of bread are good used for French toast. Hard crust breads are recommended. Softer breads will create a soggy toast.
 * Sourdough
 * Challah
 * Schiacciata
 * Portuguese sweet bread ("Massa Suvada"). This bread will take your french toast to new heights.
 * Whole-wheat raisin bread or schiacciata.
 * King's Hawaiian Sweet Bread
 * Panettone (bread with raisin, but may be too sweet for some)
 * Brioche (weaved bread)
 * Chinese bakery loaves of bread. Ask to get it cut thick or uncut.

Yellow-banded poison dart frog

The yellow-banded poison dart frog (Dendrobates leucomelas), also known as yellow-headed poison dart frog or bumblebee poison frog, is a poison dart frog from the genus Dendrobates of the family Dendrobatidae.

Distribution and habitat
Dendrobates leucomelas is a common poison dart frog found in the northern part of continent of South America, most notably in Venezuela. It is also found in parts of Guyana, Brazil, and the extreme easternmost part of Colombia. This amphibian is normally found in very humid conditions in tropical rain forests, close to fresh water. It is often found on flat rocks, trees, plants (notably bromeliads), and the leaf litter of the forest floor. During the dry season, specimens are known to congregate in damper places, such as under rocks or fallen tree trunks.

The D. leucomelas' natural habitat is tropical, and not subject to great seasonal temperature variations. Typically, temperature variances are related to elevation and time of day, and range from 26 to 30 C or above. In captivity, care must be taken not to overheat the frogs, as they can be sensitive to higher temperatures.

Although preferring high humidity levels, this species can handle lower humidity levels much better than other species in the genus. Specimens can also be found in the seasonally drier forest islands in its natural range, and at elevations ranging from sea level to 800 m AMSL.

Morphology
Dendrobates leucomelas is one of the largest species in the genus Dendrobates, with a snout-to-vent length between 3.1 and 5 cm. Average adult size, however, rarely exceeds 4 cm. Their average weight is reported as being around 3 g. Females tend to be slightly larger than the males, but otherwise, little in their appearance can be used to determine the sex of the species.

Like most poison dart frogs, the yellow-banded poison dart frog has evolved aposematic colouration as a warning to potential predators that it will make an unpalatable or toxic meal.

Predominantly, these frogs have a bright yellow colouration with varying numbers of broad black stripes and/or spots that extend over the whole body. Some morphs are orange in colour, and variations exist within the species (naturally occurring and not morphs solely within the exotic pet community) that dictate the extent of these markings ranging from fine spots to thick, unbroken banding.

They have glandular, adhesive pads on their toes (which aid in climbing and positioning) and, in common with other species in their order, they have a short, protrudable, unnotched, sticky tongue, which extends to catch prey.

Behaviour
Dendrobates leucomelas frogs are diurnal by nature, and are known to be fiercely territorial. They live in small groups in the Uniquely, it is also the only poison dart frog to estivate during dry spells.

Toxicity
Like all Dendrobatidae, D. leucomelas frogs secrete toxins from their skin, which they gain from eating certain unspecified arthropod prey. It is uncertain precisely which arthropods lend their toxicity to which genus of Dendrobatidae, but one such arthropod is thought to have been identified as a possible source of the toxin for Dendrobatidae Phyllobates terribilis (aka the golden poison frog), and it is a local variant of the Melyrid beetle.

Dendrobatidae toxins vary from species to species, but some are extremely potent neurotoxins. The alkaloid toxins, secreted from the frogs' skin, interfere with nerve impulses, which can lead to heart failure or fibrillation.

Husbandry and conservation status

The species' robustness, relatively common numbers in the wild, and widespread natural distribution has helped maintain this frog's status of "Least Concern" on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's conservation red list, despite some overharvesting of wild specimens for the exotic pet trade. The species' ability to be easily bred in captivity has led to a fall in prices within the free market, which is an alleviative factor to the problem of overharvesting.

Developmental psychology/Chapter 2/Birth

Conception
Before cells can divide, genes come together into 23 couples - chromosome pairs. The DNA sequences comprising genes always go to the same location of a particular chromosome, which for convenience are numbered from biggest (1 - most genetic material) to two smallest (22) plus the sex chromosomes (XX female, XY male). Eggs (ova) from Mom and sperm from Dad are special cells that contain a single set of 23 chromosomes. Conception completes the chromosome set and cell replication and differentiation begins: chromosome pairs separate and move to opposite sides of the nucleus, the nucleus (and cell) divides, individual chromsomes replicate into a pair and the process reiterates.

There are three things that determine how an individual develops, nature or the genome, environment or experiences, and individual choice or self. The more we understand about the genome, the clearer it becomes that while genetic information, significantly influences both development and behavior, it fully determines neither. If the genome was all determining than identical twins would develop and act the exact same. In human development and behavior genetics and the environment instead productively interact with one another, both contributing unique and valuable information to the emergence of distinctive individuals. The environment also has an affect on development and environment and nature combined are not the only determinates in how an individual will develop. Self is real, important, and able to influence an individuals fate.

What the genome provides is a personalized distillate of the collective experiences of one's ancestors and an important contributor to one's individuality. It is information to be reflected on, savored, and valued, rather than to be feared. The "innate" is real, important, and doesn't define how a person will develop. People often feel that they know things idependently of any experience they have ever had. This is not only absolutely true, but completely understandable' it does not require a belief in the supernatural. All organisms are born with a vast amount of information from generations of their ancestors' experiences with the world. It is information to be reflected on, savored, and valued, rather than to be feared. Nor are genetics at war with "free will", any more than is the environment.

USS Corvus

USS Corvus (AKA-26) was an Artemis-class attack cargo ship in service with the United States navy from 1944 to 1946. She was scrapped in 1964.

History
Corvus (AKA-26) was named after the southern constellation Corvus. She was launched 24 September 1944 by Walsh-Kaiser Co., Inc., Providence, R.I., under a Maritime Commission contract; sponsored by Mrs. O. Parks; acquired by the Navy 20 November 1944; and commissioned the same day.

Corvus departed Providence 2 December 1944 for San Francisco, where she loaded cargo for Leyte. Arriving in the Philippines 21 February 1945, Corvus discharged cargo at Guiuan for the establishment of an air base there, and transferred cargo at Dulag. On 13 March she began rehearsals for the Okinawa operation, and sailed from Leyte Gulf 27 March for the landings 1 April. She remained off Okinawa undergoing the first of the kamikaze attacks, until 10 April when she sailed with Army casualties for Guam, arriving 14 April. Corvus then sailed for Pearl Harbor where, according to a crew member oral history, new engines were installed. Corvus then returned to the West Coast for overhaul, and loaded Army men and supplies at Seattle sailing 15 June for Tinian, where she arrived 3 July. Cargo was said to have been parts to load F31, Fat Man assembly parts to load Fat Man onto aircraft named Bockscar to drop bomb on Nagasaki, Japan. Project Alberta was name of the operation and Bockscar the aircraft that dropped the assembled bomb. It was said there were over 80 plain clothed project managers (Army civilians) on board the Corvus. Low clearance sailors asked what those personnel were doing on board and what was in the un-marked boxes they were carrying. It was very uncharacteristic to carry so many personnel, let alone civilians, on an attack cargo ship. The ship's captain said he could not tell anyone anything beyond the fact that because of the cargo they were carrying, World War II would be over two weeks after they were to have arrived on Tinian Island. Most of the lower clearance sailors were excessively promoted to keep their curiosity at bay.

Corvus sailed from Tinian 7 July 1945 carrying cargo for Guadalcanal, the Russell Islands, Samar, and Manus, and reported to Manila 30 August. She loaded cargo and occupation troops, and sailed 18 September for Honshū. Returning to Manila 14 October, she sailed a week later to embark homeward-bound servicemen at Yokohama returning to San Pedro, Calif., with them 26 November. Between 26 December and 10 February, she made a similar voyage from the west coast to Guam, then sailed 16 February for Mobile, Alabama, and Orange, Texas.

Decommissioning and fate
Corvus was decommissioned 29 March 1946, and transferred to the Maritime Commission 31 October 1946 for disposal. She was scrapped in 1964.

Awards
Corvus received one battle star in World War II.

Demography

Demography literally translated from the Greek term means a description of people. On the other hand, the United Nations (UN) Demographic Dictionary describes demography as the scientific study of human populations primarily with respect to size, their, structure and their development.

Demography therefore is concerned with the current size and characteristics of human populations, how they were attained, and how they are changing. Changes in the characteristics of human populations is governed by the three main Population Processes: Fertility, Mortality and Migration. In turn, when these processes act, there are corresponding Population Outcomes which include changes in Population Size, Age and Sex Structure, and Spatial Organization.

While these main processes are the primary concern of demographers, it proves invaluable should these things not be detached from their relationships with other disiplines. As such, demography draws and contributes to the other fields of sciences ranging from Health and Medicine and Teletraffic to the social sciences such as Sociology, Anthropology and Political Science.

What do Demographers do?
Demography includes the study of human populations by statistical methods. Demographers basically deal with the measurements of the number of people in each region of the country:

 * being born (hatch)
 * living (match)
 * dying (dispatch!)

Demographers also have to measure

 * health
 * fertility
 * marriage rates
 * contraception
 * ageing rate
 * mortality rate

Finally demographers measure migrations:

 * internal migration = urbanization (or rural-urban migration)
 * external migration ( --> immigration and emigration --> ).

Data from statistical censuses are the basic inputs, but have to be augmented with input from questionnaires and surveys. The trends are extrapolated (projected forwards).

The practical purpose is that the output forms the basis for the prediction of number of customers for public and private services and products.

Talk:General Astronomy

I'm not sure the "IRAF" entry under "Tools of Astronomy" was what the person originally outlining the page had in mind. In the normal course of instruction, the principles of light and gravity, as they relate to astronomy, would be discussed in such a section - not the tools for image reduction per se. A section for astronomical techniques could be added, of course. April Follies 04:50, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Cleanup of this Wikibook
I added the RfD to this page, and the subsequent discussion on WB:RFD, because I feel that many of the modules in this Wikibook are much better written and better monitored on Wikipedia. As this current is organized, this Wikibook is a fork of the Wikipedia Astronomy Wikiproject and not coherantly organized into a textbook at all but is instead a Macropedia.

Keep in mind, what I'm proposing is entirely my own idea on how a Wikibook should be organized, and you can certainly argue against what I'm saying here and suggest this is patent nonsense. I am however trying to improve Wikibooks in general one little part at a time.

What we need to start with here is to restart this Wikibook with a formal outline that introduces astrophysics concepts in a chronological order (for teaching... not necessarily the order they were discovered) instead of a bunch of independent modules. Some key sections would include the following:

 * Cosmology - How the universe began and where it may ultimately go
 * History of Astronomy - Kepler, Brahe, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Einstein, ect.
 * Philosophical movement from Earth-centered universe to Sun-centered universe to no-center of the Universe.
 * Why we know what we know about stars and planets:
 * H-R Diagrams
 * Stellar Parallax
 * Spectral classifications
 * Distance measurement
 * Planetary probes (Voyager, Cassini, Pioneer, etc.)
 * Basic Newtonian laws of Motion
 * And many more astronomy topics

A much earlier RfD was started about Mercury because it was a blatant copy & paste from a NASA website. In that case, because it was public domain and Wikibooks was a much younger project simply in need of content, the article was allowed to remain. I am now challenging that presumption, and suggesting that this whole Wikibook needs a major cleanup including deletion of many of the current set of modules and essentially "starting over again" but this time to become a real textbook about Astronomy.

Any of the sections on planets that go into deeper detail than the Wikpedia articles shoud be independent Wikibooks in their own right, being added to an Astronomy bookshelf instead. Anything less should stay on Wikipedia, unless it is a clear stub that shows regular progress to becoming its own book.

I'm also going to try and get some support from the Astronomy Wikiproject crew, as they may have some suggestions of their own on this topic. --Rob Horning 14:11, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree that this material should be reorganized to more closely resemble a traditional astronomy textbook, but I don't think it makes sense to put cosmology (meaning the complete treatment of cosmology) at the very front. A "you are here" type of chapter seems much more sensible, and that's probably what you have in mind anyway. A lot of cleanup seems to be needed around here. The biggest problems I see are:

 * Is having external links for content good policy? Maybe we can find out whether the author of that material is willing to publish under GFDL. If not, is it better to keep the link, move it to a list, or remove it entirely?

 * Over the past month or so the planets section has been "supplemented" with ephemerides and other tables. These don't seem at all appropriate -- they're way too long and too cryptic for an introductory text. I've gone ahead and removed these. Apologies to whoever put these up... Is there some more appropriate place for them?

 * The organization of the book past the first few chapters should probably be fleshed out.

 * I'll be thinking about this as I have time, which doesn't happen too often. Thanks very much to the earlier contributors, and for your comments, Rob. --Brian Brondel 20:14, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Transwiki:Astronomy for beginners is now available for merger into this wikibook. Uncle G 04:44, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

renaming chapters of the Astronomy book
Here's my plan:
 * Make up new names for each module, that match the latest Naming_policy, and put them on this Astronomy page. (They will, of course, all be red, since they don't exist yet).
 * Temporarily, every link will be doubled -- one blue, one red.
 * Slowly move each module to a better name.
 * Once all the doubled links turn blue, delete all the old names (that now only point to redirects).

Just letting you know what I'm doing. I hope this makes sense. --<IP_ADDRESS> 07:15, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Sounds great. Remember that articles should be moved from the "move" tab at the top of each page, rather than copied and pasted. --Brian Brondel 04:25, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

RfD for Astronomical events
This is just an FYI to anybody involved with this Astronomy Wikibook. I've added a RfD notice to try and decide as a community where to put this sort of content. There is also discussion on Wikisource about this same content that is currently duplicated there. Feedback in both places is encouraged. --Rob Horning 18:19, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Wikisource decided to keep Moon, Ceres, Pallas and Juno, so the proposed deletion is now in the archives.

 * I changed Astronomy to link to Astronomical events instead of our copy. I plan to make links from that Wikisource page to Moon, Ceres, Pallas, and Juno. --Kernigh 02:52, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Consistency in chapter names
Currently quite a few of the chapter or subchapter names in the table of contents do not coincide with the names on the actual pages. I propose that they be made the same, either by changing the one to coincide with the other, or by combining them into an expanded name in each case. Douglas W. Mitchell (talk) 17:00, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Amateur astronomer
It seems that the book would benefit from a section about amateur astronomy. Definition and simple guide including how to access available resources, for instance the new "GLObal Robotic-telescopes Intelligent Array" (GLORIA) that will be the first free and open- access network of robotic telescopes of the world. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 18:38, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Kepler’s third law have a mistake
In astronomy, Kepler’s laws give a description of the motion of planets around the Sun. Kepler's laws are only valid when not affected by the gravity of other planets, however，Kepler’s third law does not follow this restriction. For this reason, It simply has no use at all in our Solar System. Kepler's third law assumes that all planets are not affected by the gravity of other planets and the orbit of every planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci.This is not true. If the planet did not affected by the gravity of other planets, then the orbit of every planet is a circle. The orbit of the planet have an ellipse only because affected by the gravity of other planets. , Kepler’s third law, T2/a3/2=K, only good for comets and not for our Solar System, for this mistake we have a new third law as T2/(ab)3/2=K.

What happens to astronauts when they get in those galaxies ? do they go to another real dimension? Bracket Lynch (discuss • contribs) 17:51, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

Fourth law:
In solar system, All planets, no matter their size, their mass, their shape, their radius should follow (ab)3/2/T2 =1,

Where T is Orbit Period, a is the semi-major respect to earth b is the semi-minor respect to earth

Fifth law:
In solar system, every precession of the orbits of planets has different precession with different ellipses. Every different ellipse has its orbital eccentricity between maximum e and 0. And all different ellipses have the same area, include circle of e=0.

For example:
The precession of the orbit of Mercury is 11.83 degree/ century. Every year have different ellipse between e= 0.20563069 and e=0, but every different ellipse or circle has the same area.

Sixth law:
To determine whether it is a planet or not, it is not according their size, their mass, their radius, or their shape, but one must fulfill the fourth law.

Conclusion:
1. Obviously, Pluto does not follow the forth law, therefore, Pluto is not a planet, not even a dwarf planet. It is not because it is small, or other reasons, but because it is not fulfill with the fourth law. Therefore, it is not one of the family.

2. There are two reasons that why Pluto does not belong to the solar system. Pluto may be a comet or half a comet, because

A. Pluto is an alien, may come from other galaxies.

B. Pluto may joint with a planet and a member of the other galaxies.

3. A planet cannot be discriminated because of their size, their mass, their radius, their color, or that they are ugly not round. As long as they fulfill with the fourth law, They are planets. Otherwise they are not planet.

Should General Astronomy allow this editorializing?
The most recent two edits are: https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=General_Astronomy&type=revision&diff=3389597&oldid=3348591

I am mostly on Wikiversity, where this would be allowed. Wikipedia would (or should) revert. On Wikibooks, I yield to the community. Also, if Wikibooks wants to consider developing policy on this, let me know. Both Wikibooks, as well as Wikiversity, might benefit from introspection regarding our policies.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 13:30, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Since I made the edit I'm interjecting in it's defense. There is no policy in place beyond the requirement for keeping a neutral point of view (that can be tamed in a per project/book basis) in any case I did not consider the edit an editorialization (as shaping the work to reflect a personal opinion) at best it could be considered the inclusion of an overgeneralization (even a Western centric one). I would guess that in most of Africa, large parts of South America and Asia it would not apply but probably those left out would also not be using Wikibooks. On the other hand the minority of people that deal every day with astronomic concerns may have a different perception of (even aspiration for) the relevance astronomy has in today's society.
 * In any case feel free to balance the edit as you wish, my intention was only to add the interesting video link and contextualize it into the content including a reflection of the reality most of us that write and read wikibooks share (my only objection would be to a removal of the video link without proper argumentation/defense). --Panic (discuss • contribs) 22:10, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I actually agree with both assertions, namely that there is a decrease in interest in the nature of the universie, as well that it is "sad". I will not change or challenge the edit.  As far as I am concerned, it was a good edit that can stay.  I just thought the community should be notified. --Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 02:01, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Stormberg Commando

Stormberg Commando was a light infantry regiment of the South African Army. It formed part of the South African Army Infantry Formation as well as the South African Territorial Reserve.

Cape Rebels
Although part of the Cape Colony, many families in this area had ties with relatives across the river in the Orange Free State and sympathy with the Boer Republics. Many locals aided the Free State Commandos in the invasion of the Cape Colony in 1899.

Commandant Jan Hendrik Olivier the local commander, sided with the Free State, attacking and capturing Aliwal North on 13 November 1899, proclaiming it Free State territory.

With the SADF
The unit was renamed from the Burgersdorp Commando to the Stormberg Commando around 1972.

The local gaol, which is also a national monument in Piet Retief street was the headquarters of the commando.

The unit resorted under the command of the SADF's Group 22.

During this era, the commando was mainly used for area force protection, cordones and search operations assisting the police and patrolling the Lesotho border.

Disbandment
This unit, along with all other Commando units was disbanded after a decision by South African President Thabo Mbeki to disband all Commando Units. The Commando system was phased out between 2003 and 2008 "because of the role it played in the apartheid era", according to the Minister of Safety and Security Charles Nqakula.

Freda Simmonds

Alfreda "Freda" Simmonds (1912–1983) was a painter from New Zealand.

Career
Simmonds studied at the University of Auckland. At the end of World War II, Simmonds moved to Kaitaia, in the north of New Zealand, and developed an interest in painting. Over several years she developed her artistic techniques at Adult Education Summer Schools in Auckland, New Zealand.

Many of Simmonds's works are landscapes and her painting style is abstract, often using "curvi-linear forms" and gradations of colour. Notable works include Rimu (1958), Northern Landscape, Northland Harbour: Houhora Black Swan, and Torea – Pied Oyster Catcher sold at International Art Centre, 'The John Leech Collection'.

Her work is included in several art collections including the Victoria University of Wellington Art Collection.

Exhibitions
Simmons exhibited with Auckland Society of the Arts including the 1959 exhibition, Eight New Zealand Painters and was included alongside Jean Horsley and M. Rainier in the 1957 exhibition Three Women Painters.

She was active in The Group, an informal art association from Christchurch, New Zealand, formed to provide a freer alternative to the Canterbury Society of Arts. She contributed works to multiple exhibitions by The Group including in: 1957; 1963; 1964; 1965; 1966 (as Alfreda Simmonds); 1967; 1968; 1969; 1970; 1971; 1973; 1974; and 1977.

User:Leslyn S/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.

 * Bisexual erasure
 * This is something I am knowledgeable about and am confident I can find sources about it.

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
The lead is concise with an intro sentence that describes the topic very well, including multiple relevant links to other helpful articles. However, at the end, it is mentioned that bisexual representation is expanding, but then the article does not provide evidence for that.

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
The article's content is relevant, but is missing female motivations of bi-erasure, pansexual/bisexual discourse, etc.

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
The articles seems to be very neutral, but it also pushes forward a very binaric mode of thinking about bisexuality which excludes the popular notion that bisexuality can include more than two genders or sexes.

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 links work and facts are backed up, but I would suggest an update for the article, because there are new discourses and sources available that would help to better develop the page.

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
Great organization. The article is easy to read without any errors and the sections that are available make sense.

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
While at first glance, the article could use some more images, it becomes clear that bi-erasure is a topic that does not need pictures to help develop any concepts. The bisexual flag is enough.

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
Because many people identify with or as bisexual, homosexual, heterosexual, etc., there are some standout discussions about PoV that come across as themselves being biased or from feeling offended. Of course, bias is natural, but the page could use more perspectives and sources.

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
Overall, the article is good on a base level. However, having an in-depth knowledge that I think I have, there could be some updating and adjustments based on the issues I previously brought up.

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:

Tom Kenyon

Thomas Richard Kenyon (born 26 February 1972) is a former Australian politician who represented the South Australian House of Assembly seat of Newland for the Labor Party from the 2006 election until his defeat in 2018. Kenyon left the Labor Party in 2021 to found the Family First Party.

Early life
Kenyon was raised in Gawler and Adelaide. He was educated at Saint Ignatius College, South Australia and studied Asian Studies at Flinders University. He subsequently completed a Bachelor of Applied Science in Environmental Management at the University of South Australia. After working in a number of positions, including as a jackaroo and union organiser, Kenyon was employed as an advisor to Minister for Mineral Resources and Development Paul Holloway, a position which he held until his election to parliament. Kenyon is linked with the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association (SDA).

Parliament
Kenyon made his first bid for parliament in his early 20s, as the Labor candidate in the safe Liberal state seat of Heysen at the 1997 state election, achieving a 12.3-point two-party swing.

Kenyon was endorsed unopposed as the party's candidate for the electorate of Newland at the 2006 state election, where veteran Liberal MP Dorothy Kotz was retiring. He singled out increasing the use of public transport and addressing youth employment as priorities, and there was some media speculation that his status as a young, relatively conservative father of three would be well-supported in the area of Adelaide known as the "Bible Belt". To this extent, polls as early as 2005 began showing that Kenyon was in with a real chance of winning the seat, although Kotz had previously held the seat by a fair margin. There was ultimately a landslide result across the city on election day, and he achieved a 12.5-point two-party swing to finish with a 56.8 percent two-party vote, polling more than double the required swing needed to take the seat, claiming victory after only 90 minutes of counting.

Kenyon was on the right of the Labor Party, with links to the rightwing Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association. He was the only Labor member to state that he would vote against the planned Relationships Bill removing discrimination against gay couples if a conscience vote were granted – although in the end he voted for the revised Domestic Partners Bill in 2006. Kenyon used his maiden South Australian House of Assembly speech to criticise the SA Greens environmental credentials, stating that he did not believe South Australia should accept nuclear waste from other countries, and that burial of waste materials would be a suitable option. His maiden speech was also used to speak out against abortion.

Kenyon was appointed as Minister for Manufacturing, Innovation and Trade, Minister for Small Business as well as becoming a Member of Executive Council.

Kenyon suffered a 4.6-point two-party swing to finish with a 52.2 percent two-party vote at the 2010 state election in Newland. At the 2014 state election, Kenyon's seat became Labor's most marginal on a 51.4 percent two-party vote from a 1.2-point swing.

Kenyon quit cabinet following the 2014 election stating he wanted to spend more time with his family.

On 28 July 2021, alongside former minister Jack Snelling, Kenyon founded the Family First Party.

Nuclear industrial advocacy
Since his election, Kenyon successfully advocated within the Labor party for the expansion of uranium mining with Paul Holloway, including the abandonment of the Three-Mine Policy. In 2007, his advocacy extended beyond uranium mining to the nuclear fuel cycle generally. In an Opinion Editorial for The Australian he wrote: "It's time we in the ALP gave up pretending that nuclear energy is Satan's power supply of choice... It's time we stopped repeating the myth that waste is an issue that can't be dealt with."

Since that time he has also advocated for the consideration of an expanded nuclear industry in South Australia. In 2015, the Weatherill government initiated the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission. While the Commission was undertaking its work, Kenyon became a public advocate for the importation of spent nuclear fuel to South Australia for storage and disposal. He expressed his belief that the funds raised by such an activity could fund major public infrastructure projects and advance the South Australian economy. Kenyon spoke on the subject at various events, to the media and demonstrated the potential for bi-partisan support in a public meeting with Liberal party senator, Sean Edwards in which he applauded Edwards' submission to the Royal Commission. He noted that Edwards proposition went beyond his own by introducing the potential reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel to generate electricity using advanced nuclear reactors.

In a 2016 opinion editorial published in The Advertiser, Kenyon wrote that he had been exploring the potential economic benefits of nuclear waste importation since learning that Taiwan had established a $9bn fund to dispense of their spent nuclear fuel while on a delegation there in 2006.

Personal life
Kenyon is a devout Catholic. He is married with three children.

Not Shy (song)

"Not Shy" is a song recorded by South Korean girl group Itzy for their third extended play of the same name. It was released as the EP's lead single through JYP Entertainment and Republic on August 17, 2020. It is a song that blends R&B and trap-dance, driven by rapid beats and 'intense' saxophone sounds. With a mix of hip-hop, pop, and Caribbean influences, featuring lyrics by J.Y. Park. The song encourages confident expression of love without hesitation, reflecting a notable shift in the group's style with its upbeat tempo and empowering message.

Commercially, "Not Shy" peaked at number nine on the Gaon Digital Chart and at number four on the Billboard K-pop Hot 100, earning Itzy their fourth top-ten hit on both charts. The song won five music program awards in South Korea and has since been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). An accompanying music video was uploaded onto JYP's YouTube channel simultaneously with the single's release and has surpassed 200 million views on the platform.

Background
On June 22, 2020, it was reported that Itzy is preparing for a comeback at the end of July. On January 22, 2021 an English version of "Not Shy" was released on Itzy's English debut extended play Not Shy (English Ver.). It was accompanied by a music video featuring 3-D Zepeto avatars of the members. A Japanese version of "Not Shy" was also included on Itzy's first compilation album It'z Itzy, which was released on December 22, 2021. The Japanese lyrics were written by Yohei.

Composition and lyrics
"Not Shy" composed by Kobee and Charlotte Wilson and it was written by JYP founder JY Park “The Asiansoul” who also handled the arrangement alongside Kobee and earattack. The song is an up-tempo R&B trap-dance piece, led by rapid beats and 'intense' saxophone sounds. It seamlessly blends hip-hop and pop elements with Caribbean influences, exuding a distinct 'reggae feel.' In terms of musical notation, the song is written in the key of D minor, with a tempo of 101 beats per minute. "The title song “Not Shy” delivers the message that you should express yourself confidently and be fearless in love. I think this song will encourage many people. I am most proud of this song too, as I like the message of this song very much." Lyrically, it was described as Itzy's first "love-themed song," a departure from their previous style. The song's storyline emphasizes empowering one's voice, in the context of the protagonist declaring her love to her crush—a "confession often marked by hesitancy". Through its verses, the group advocates for confident self-expression, urging listeners to convey their feelings openly and without reservation. Lines like "Why wait, what are you doing?" and "Why can't I tell you my heart?" highlight the singers' unwavering courage and honesty in love, promoting a message of authenticity and fearlessness. Additionally, phrases such as "Not shy, Not me / I tell you what I want quickly / What if I can't have it? 'Why can’t you say yeah'" serve as a source of encouragement for those grappling with expressing their emotions, inspiring them to bravely pursue their romantic desires.

Before the release on August 17, the group conducted a live stream titled "Countdown Spot Live" via their social media platforms to engage with their fans. On the same day, they hosted another live stream named "ITZY 'Not Shy' Live Premiere" on their official YouTube channel, airing an hour and a half prior to the release.

History of Quebec and Canada/Study Guide/Topic 1: Concepts of Colonization

What were the two opposing views or concepts on the colonization of New France? The two opposing views centered around whether New France should develop as a colony based on settlement or as a colony based on the exploitation of the fur trade.

Characteristics of a colony based on settlement

Its purpose was to create a society in New France similar to that in France through settlement. To have such a colony it would need to send to New France farmers, priests, soldiers, administrators, women, and artisans. The colonizers wanted a diversified economy not an economy based solely on the exploitation of the fur trade. This concept of colonization had the support of the King, religious orders and colonizers. Characteristics of a colony based on the fur trade

Its purpose was to exploit the fur trade for the benefit of merchants and fur trading monopoly companies such as the Company of 100 Associates. Basically, they wanted New France to be a fur-trading outpost. To have such a colony it would need mainly men meaning merchants, coureurs de bois, independent traders and company agents. Settlers were not welcome as they were expensive to bring over and they could act as competitors in the fur trade. The fur traders only wanted to develop and exploit the fur trade since it did not require a large initial investment and it was very profitable. This type of colony had the support of the fur trading companies, fur traders and merchants. Throughout most of New France's history, despite some attempts at settlement,  the colony of New France was based on the exploitation of the fur trade. A major factor behind this was the belief in the economic theory of mercantilism. Do the following questions on concepts of colonization. 1. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A TRADING COLONY ? 1. The costs of transporting and settling the population were paid by the King. 2. France wanted to recreate its way of life in New France. 3. France invested little, thus allowing the chartered companies to operate freely. 4. The high density of the population made it easy to defend the territory. 5. The exploitation of a single resource was the driving force behind the development of the colony.

A) 1 and 2                                                       C) 3 and 4 B) 2 and 5                                                       D) 3 and 5 ANSWER: A B C D

2. The following words or phrases can be associated with either a trading colony or a     colony of settlement.

WHICH THREE COULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH A COLONY BASED ON     SETTLEMENT?

1.   Indian alliances                                      4. exploitation of fur trade 2.   chartered companies                              5. farmers, priests, and soldiers 3.   villages and towns                                  6. diversified economy

A)   1,    2,    3                                                       C)    2,    4,    6 B)   1,    4,    5                                                       D)    3,    5,    6 ANSWER: A B C D
