Interpersonal influence

Interpersonal influence is a type of social influence which results from group members encouraging, or forcing, conformity while discouraging, and possibly punishing, nonconformity. It is one of three types of social influences that lead people to conform to the majority, or the group's norms. The other two types are influence are informational influence and normative influence.

The effects of interpersonal influence were well documented through Schachter's 1951, experiments involving three confederates in an all-male discussion group. One confederate was the deviant, who was assigned to always disagree with the majority; the next was the slider, who disagreed initially but was told to eventually conform; and the last was the mode, whose task was to consistently agree with the majority. Schachter was interested specifically in how the group would pressure the deviant to conform. He found that communication with the deviant increased steadily over the course of the discussion, but in more cohesive groups, the deviant became rejected.

There is also a difference between inclusive and exclusive reactions toward the dissenter and therefore different consequence. In an inclusive reaction, the majority and minority argue their opinions, but the minority is still considered to be part of the group. In contrast, in an exclusive reaction, communication diminishes, hostility increases, and the minority becomes rejected entirely. Studies have shown that the affective distress cause by such ostracism and rejection linger long after the event has occurred, and even if the rejected individual is later accepted back into the group.

Interpersonal rejection is a consequence of interpersonal influence. For example, the deviant in this study was rated the lowest by fellow group members on likability and was assigned more menial tasks. Additionally, the slider was less well liked than the mode, despite listening to reason and shifting opinions. This shows that any amount of disagreement with a majority can lower one's chances of acceptance. Those with low self-esteem have been found to respond worse to rejection, likely due to self-blame attributions.

Black-sheep effect is another consequence of interpersonal influence, and occurs when group members who perform an offensive behavior are judged more harshly by their ingroup than an outgroup member who does the same.

Lajja Gauri

Lajjā Gaurī is a lotus-headed Hindu goddess associated with abundance, fertility and sexuality, sometimes euphemistically described as Lajja ("modesty"). She is sometimes shown in a birthing posture, but without outward signs of pregnancy.

History
Early depictions of Lajja Gauri in Shaktism were found in the Indus Valley seals, though her later depiction dates to the 1st-3rd centuries, and her worship is prevalent in the Deccan, a region of the Indian subcontinent.

Iconography
Her fertility aspect is emphasized by symbolic representation of the genitals, yoni or the womb, as a blooming lotus flower denoting blooming youth in some cases and in others through a simple yet detailed depiction of an exposed vulva. She is sitting in a squatting position (malasana) with legs open, as in during childbirth, in some cases, the right foot is placed on a platform to facilitate full opening. She is invoked for abundant crops (vegetative fertility) and good progeny. A blossoming lotus replaces her head and neck, an icon often used in Tantra. The seven chakras of human energy anatomy are often depicted as blossoming lotuses, and the goddess is often depicted in her Sri Yantra as a yoni, shown as a simplified triangle at the centre. This is a feature present in all the Kohbar Mithila paintings which are worshipped by newlyweds in a Maithil wedding.

Further, most fertility goddesses of the ancient world are similarly shown headless, while giving prominent focus to the genitals. The arms of the goddess are bent upwards, each holding a lotus stem, held at the level of the head again depicted by the matured lotus flower.

Owing to an absence of verifiable text in Vedic traditions on the iconography, she does not seem to hold any exalted position in Hindu pantheon, despite her strong presence throughout India, especially in the tribal region of Bastar in Central India and downwards to the South. The goddess is sometimes called Lajja Gauri, interpreted by some as the Innocent Creatrix, the Creator deity or at times simply "Headless Goddess", or Aditi Uttanapada by modern archeologist, academicians and Indologists.

The majority of the terracotta figurines were carved in the Gupta and post-Gupta periods.

Worship
Icons of Lajja Gauri have been found in different villages, and local people identify her with other goddesses such as Aditi, Adya Shakti, Renuka and Yallamma. A notable sculpture of her dating to 150-300 CE was found at Amravati (now kept at State Museum, Chennai), Tribal areas of Central India, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, where the town of Badami, known for the Badami Cave Temples, has a sculpture of the deity preserved at the local Archeological Museum, originally found in Naganatha Temple, Naganathakolla, Bijapur District, and has an extant temple dedicated to the goddess in Badami Chalukya Architecture, within the town precincts dating to Chalukya Empire which flourished around the 6th century AD. Maithili people worship Lajja Gauri during the marriage.She is an integral part of the Kohbar Mithila Painting which is kept in the nuptial chamber of newly weds.

Another arguable interpretation by Dr. Ramachandra C. Dhere in his book entitled Lajja Gauri is that Lanja/Lanjika means 'naked', which reminds us of the geographical area in Konkan (Maharashtra), called Lanja.

Symbolism and Hinduisation
The pose in which the Indian goddess Lajja Gauri is depicted is known as the uttanapad pose. Her head is substituted by a full-bloomed lotus flower. During the 19th century, when the British archaeologists discovered these images for the first time, they were shocked by the indecent eroticism and the shamelessness of such nude representations. The squatting, life-sized nudes were in stark contrast to their Victorian idea of decent morality and femininity. However, that was a classic case of conundrum born out of two distinct cultures interacting with each other. In Indian art and aesthetics, the Guari's uttanapad pose, that is how she sits with her knees bent and legs drawn up to the sides of her abdomen, signifies creation. Therefore, Lajja Gauri, as her name lajja suggests, represents modesty. She is an aspect of Gauri, that is a form of Parvati, the consort of Shiva, who is modest and shy, directly opposite to the interpretations of British archeologists who labelled these images as a nude–heathen representation of eroticism.

This Gauri image is always associated with distinct symbols that connote the idea of fortune and fertility, explicitly signifying her powers. The three major symbols are: the Lotus, the Brimming Pot and the Srivastava. The lotus in Indian art styles connotes creation, fertility and fortune. It symbolizes an intergenerational transference of the reproductive potential and stands for the cyclical journey of life. The brimming pot resembles the yoni or the womb. The overflowing pot is similar to the image of cornucopia suggesting affluence and abundant creative potential. Moreover, the arrangement of the torso, the large breasts, and the flower buds flanking the bloomed lotus on the head are similar to the purna kalasha design popular in all Hindu rituals and festivals since the Vedic times. The Srivastava in Indian art suggests a notion of creative fullness and fortune. It is usually depicted with a triangle, cross-shaped flower, or whorl-shaped arrangement. This juxtaposed metaphors of the lotuses and srivastavas could also be found at Bhahrut and Sanchi. A comparison could be made with the form of the Lajja Gauri. Carol Bolon does such a reading. The Srivastava highlights her affinity to Lakshmi and her various forms, such as Sri and Gaja-Lakshmi. Like Lajja Gauri, all these are also goddesses of well-being and prosperity.

The image of the goddess, and her worship, originated in tribal areas and/or local villages. She was a gramadevi, revered in her aniconic form. Mature images of her anthropomorphic forms can be seen in the Elephanta Caves (dated 500 CE), in the Ellora Caves (dated 550 CE), and throughout Gujarat during the 6th and 7th centuries. These mature representations hint at the beginning of her induction in the Brahminical fold of worship. Her Hinduisation paved the way for her entry into the temples, and slowly, even her mythological imagination also changed. She began to be associated with Shiva, was given a vahan, sakti's lion, and was gradually merged into the image of the goddess. She was also shown with Shiva's bull and lingam. In Andhra Pradesh, in various plaques and lintels, her image could be spotted with other major Hindu deities. One of the major contributing factors to Lajja Gauri's transformation from an esoteric personfied representational image to a full-fledged Hindu goddess was royal patronage, particularly the attention extended to her by the Chalukya kings.

The quality and the quantity of the production of her images during the Early Chalukya rule suggests her popularity, and the royal patronage she enjoyed during the period. In many temples, dating back to the time, these images continue to be worshipped. This presents before us a continuous contemporary framework in which to locate this goddess. Temples like Telangana's Bala Brahma Temple, and the Lakulisa Temple at Karnataka, are some famous examples. These temples are frequented by childless women, couples, and newlyweds, seeking for fertility and power of procreation. They worship the goddess with ghee, powders, and flowers and perform the pradakshina around the sanctum sanctorum.

Intro: What Is Biochemistry?
Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of, and relating to, biological organisms. It forms a bridge between biology and chemistry by studying how complex chemical reactions and chemical structures give rise to life and life's processes. Biochemistry is sometimes viewed as a hybrid branch of organic chemistry which specializes in the chemical processes and chemical transformations that take place inside of living organisms, but the truth is that the study of biochemistry should generally be considered neither fully "biology" nor fully "chemistry" in nature. Biochemistry incorporates everything in size between a molecule and a cell and all the interactions between them. The aim of biochemists is to describe in molecular terms the structures, mechanisms and chemical processes shared by all organisms, providing organizing principles that underlie life in all its diverse forms.

Biochemistry essentially remains the study of the structure and function of cellular components (such as enzymes and cellular organelles) and the processes carried out both on and by organic macromolecules - especially proteins, but also carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. All life forms alive today are generally believed to have descended from a single proto-biotic ancestor, which could explain why all known living things naturally have similar biochemistries. Even when it comes to matters which could appear to be arbitrary - such as the genetic code and meanings of codons, or the "handedness" of various biomolecules - it is irrefutable fact that all marine and terrestrial living things demonstrate certain unchanging patterns throughout every level of organization, from family and phylum to kingdom and clade.

Biochemistry is, most simply put, the chemistry of life.

Introduction to Strategic Studies/Nuclear Strategy

part of the School of Strategic Studies

Summary
Short (100 word or less) brief on the object and utility of the class.

Introduction
This will introduce you to the issue and the questions to be posed in the class.

There are many questions and issues we will study in this

class. First, we will speak about the basics: what are nuclear

weapons, what can they do and who has them. Then we shall talk about

them and then write an essay about the matter. Then we will speak of

the consequences of nuclear weapons (i.e. what will happen to the

people the nuclear weapon harms, what will happen to the environment

and what will be the long term effects.) And finally, we shall study

nuclear strategy, what to do when faced with a choice to use nuclear

weapons, what a country does when one is luanched at them and why we

do not use them. Then there will be a series of papers to write and

at the end of the class we will have a final test. 40 multiple

choice, 5 short answer and 1 essay.

Readings
This will delineate the readings that should be done prior to undertaking the exercises in this class.

Lecture
The difference between strategies and tactics is the difference between war and battle, between painting and brushstroke. One can paint a fine picture in spite of a few bad strokes; or one can paint a horrible picture with all strokes perfect. In war, as in art, technical mastery is neither the hardest nor the most important part of the thing. In nuclear strategy as in strategy in general, students should never forget that the use of force must not be an end in itself, but only a means to serve a political end. Nuclear strategy, involving the most destructive form of warfare, is a strange Manticore of strategy and tactics. One can think of it as painting with a paint roller rather than a brush. Any application of nuclear weapons has enormous consequences. This is one reason why only two such devices have ever been used, against Japan in august 1945. They are the perfect “other means” because they are a one-stop method of transforming political will into military strategy. They also illustrate perfectly the fine balance we have tried to describe between threat and use of force. They are so diplomatically potent that the five permanent members of the UN Security Council with vetoes are the five who are officially recognized as owning nuclear capacity – and the People’s Republic of China was only given a seat (replacing the Republic of China in Taiwan) four years after it went nuclear and proved it had a capable delivery system. Holding a strategic arsenal is effectively the ultimate veto anyhow – it’s really a veto on the future of human existence. In this way, the veto in the Security Council is a much nicer way for a nuclear power to show their discontent about things. This is the place where diplomacy and the threat of force meet in the most pure fashion.

No-First Use: moral or conventional high-ground ?
During the Cold War, one side, the USSR, all of a sudden began something of an evolution in nuclear strategy. It was the idea of the moral high ground. It made an open statement to the world: “we will not launch a First Strike.”(which is called a "No-First Use" Commitment) They challenged their adversaries, the Western states, to make the same commitment. “No can do,” they said, “we reserve the right to fire our weapons the moment you rev up your armoured columns.” The slightly more mature among us may remember a song by Sting entitled "Russians" in which the singer says “I Hope the Russians Love their Children Too,” but it was NATO which reserved the right to use its nuclear weapons whenever the muse took them. Still, we have to remember that nuclear policy is about the balance between credible threat and the actual use of force; the Soviets had enough conventional power to overwhelm Europe completely. The only way for NATO to counteract this preponderance of conventional arms was to reserve the right to nuke the communists, either pre-emptively or by means of reprisals. The Soviets, for their part, were no more the doves than the Europeans: they knew they had the preponderance of conventional power and would likely have rolled over Europe in the absence of such a nuclear threat. In true Realist policy, there is no right or wrong, only effectiveness and ineffectiveness. Grand Strategy is policy. Nuclear Strategy is as close to Grand Strategy as Military Strategy can be.

New nuclear powers?
Since the first five nuclear powers are members of the Security Council, what is to be done with India, Pakistan, North Korea, and Israel? If they are added to the Council, with veto power, almost nothing will be passed by that body. Statements by Indian and Pakistani military leaders suggest they do not share the apocalyptic view of the use of nuclear weapons that the western powers do. This may be due to the fact that their weapons are smaller and shorter ranged than US and Russian weapons, i.e., more tactical.

Elizabeth Bultitude

Elizabeth Bultitude (12 August 1809 – 14 August 1890) was a British Primitive Methodist preacher. When she retired after thirty years she was said to be their last itinerant woman preacher.

Life
Bultitude was born in Hardwick in Norfolk. She came from a large Wesleyan Methodist family and they were poor. When she was thirteen her father died and the family moved to Norwich to find work. She went hungry. She had not eaten when she met Samuel Atterby and had a spiritual event. He was a Primitive Methodist, but she did not formally join that denomination until 1829 when another minister, John Smith, visited Norwich.

Bultitude's talents for preaching were spotted and she was given "a note" which gave her the church's authority to preach. She did not find it easy although she noted that in all of her time preaching she only failed to turn up on two occasions. In both cases it had been due to rain which meant that turnout would be poor and it was unwise to preach outside in torrential rain.

Male preachers were poorly paid and women preachers were paid just half of that amount. When she was preaching at Soham at 1847 she was criticised for the poor quality of her dress. In reply she noted that even if she spent all of her money on clothes then she would not be able to meet any standard of smart attire.

She retired in 1862. There were at least 40 itinerant women preachers and no one in the church gave them a senior position or paid them. Women did not stop preaching but Bultitude is considered to the last one who became itinerant to preach. After her the only authorised preachers were male. Bultitude was the last of a group of women who preached with authority. Her church did not prevent women being preachers - it just stopped authorising any more.

In 1881 she was living in a small street in Norwich. She was indulgent towards her drunken younger brother James who lived with his wife in the same street. He made a living as a fishmonger. She later moved to another small house.

Bultitude died in Heigham in 1890 after a long gruelling illness.

I've noticed a problem with this page and Wikiversity in general. There are too many placeholder pages. I'm calling for a vote to delete all pages that contain no information. For example, every single programming language that has zero lessons should be removed. There's no point in having courses that teach nothing. It looks very discouraging to visitors of this site when they see many blank pages.

Nevermind, I've found a better solution. I've split up the lists into Available and Planned. Planned courses are either placeholder pages or have links with pages yet to be created. Available pages are more than just stubs and have at least one lesson on them.

Divison News
If a new section is added or other sections are heavily modified, or modified in a critical way, a news item should be added underneath Division News. That way people who visit the page can see some kind of growth. The last news item was from August 2006 and it's May 2007 which makes the page look kind of dead. Not a good thing.

XHTML
How should XHTML be delt with? Should it be in the same "book" as HTML or completely different? A thing 05:47, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I've been thinking about that one for a while actually. Technically XHTML is the exact same language as HTML, except that it has stricter rules for "cleaner", more semantic code.  I would think it could be in the "same book" as HTML, and just labelled as a "variant" of the language, or something to that affect. --Aepex 06:34, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Since "real XHTML" (that is, XHTML that is served as application/xhtml+xml in the HTTP response headers instead of text/html) has the ability to combine XML tags from multiple namespaces and therefore expand the ability of HTML, I think that it deserves it's own lessons, but should still reference lessons on HTML and XML somewhere since it inherits so deeply from them... Senthryl 00:18, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't think you should consider HTML or XHTML as a part of Computer Programming. They are markup languages, which is totally different thing from this topic. See http://www.w3.org/.

Perhaps a new sub-category should be opened under "Computer Programming" covering all Markup Languages and their respective capabilities and subsidiaries. Magus 19:26, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point.A thing 21:38, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I like the idea of collecting all markup language information under a 'Markup languages' category. But should makup languages be a subcategory of 'Computer programming' or on its own somewhere -- perhaps under an 'Information technology' or 'Technical writing' category?  I don't think marking up a document with HTML, XHTML, LaTeX, or any XML vocabulary is really programming and markup languages are commonly used by non-programmers to create source documents that might  eventually become anything from HTML to PS to PDF.  However, XSLT is almost a fully-fedged functional programming language, so how about adding that as a subcategory of 'Computer programming'? Drew Hodge

Markup languages are not programming languages. We do not need to have them in one and only one place, but putting any markup languages under programming languages is not okay. We don't need to divide up into "books", either. There can be lots of materials and not just books. There can be materials concerned with HTML and some concerned with XHTML and some with both - fine! We should be using categories as well to express where things belong in different hierarchies. --WiseWoman 21:15, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I personally agree in that XHTML is totally irrelevant for Computer Programming. There's an excellent web design course being developed here on wikiversity and I'm sure we can all work together but keep XHTML over there. --Draicone (talk) 22:51, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Visual Basic
Which version of the language does this refer do? Perhaps this category should be split into both Legacy and .NET versions of the language. Senthryl 22:50, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

 * The current lesson is for VB6, I'm planning to start one for VB.NET (Or VB2005 as it's refered to nowadays) Spacey 11:38, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Since Microsoft is now giving away the "civilian" version of Visual Studio, I took the liberty of adding VB.Net 2005, VCS.Net 2005, and VC++.Net 2005 to the list of topics. I will add the stub pages later unless someone else does so sooner. Since VS 2003 languages have to be purchased, I think that it's a good idea to refer to the .NET platform as "2005", and create lessons based on those free versions. I also would like to write lessons for VB.NET 2005. Mr. Spacey, if you've already started, I'd like to help. Slick36 16:24, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Fundamentals course?
Has anyone thought of the possibility of a fundamentals course, taught using pseudocode, that introduces concepts like variables, boolean logic, loops, types, recursion, functions, and other core concepts? I think separating this from the learning of a specific language can reduce repetition, and result in a clearer, less language specific understanding. Yes, I am volunteering so long as others also think it has value.

--Gabe Sechan 06:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I think it would work well; I'm currently working on the Assembly Language page, and would be available if you needed assistance. Mark-roberts 19:26, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I have some experience as a teaching assistant for first-year Computer Science here at the ETH in Zurich, Switzerland. For many years we used the Oberon Programming Language designed by Niklaus Wirth. It had the advantage of a clear and simple syntax (no tricks) and that of the Oberon operating system which had an integrated compiler and removed the overhead of having to learn how to use an OS beforelearning how to program.

Oberon is probably not a great idea for an open university since it is a bit of a niche product. I would, however, suggest Pascal since it has many of the same features (simplicity and readability) yet, as opposed to Oberon, is widely available (GNU compiler available as well as many commercial alternatives).

I think a funamentals course is an excellent idea and would love to invest my time and effort into it! I have many exercises and complete lecture notes for Oberon which can be easliy "translated" to Pascal.

We should, however, agree on a language first. I vote for Oberon or Pascal. Pseudocode is not such a good idea since there is neither an accepted standard nor readily available compilers out there.

I hope we can discuss degenerate into a programming language war :)

Pedro.Gonnet 11:21, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Concepts exemples and properties should be in all languages

 * Well, that won't really work since not all fundamental concepts are possible in all languages. Consider recursion and structured data in BASIC, basic OO in C and call-by-reference of basic types in Java -- or any kind of non-OO programming in Java for that matter. I think we should first define what the fundamental concepts are and then use only languages that implement them all. Pedro.Gonnet 07:57, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Just an afterthought... If we can't agree on a single language (which we probably won't), we could also just offer the course in different languages. What would be important in such a case is to clearly define the pre- and post-conditions, effectively establishing a syllabus. Any suggestions? Pedro.Gonnet 13:44, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, I'm a bit bored, so here's my suggestion for the Syllabus for the coures "Fundamentals of Computer Programming" or just an extension to "Introduction to Programming":

 * Basic Programming Language Skills: the students understand and know how to use the following:
 * Concept of variables
 * Basic data types, structured data types and arrays
 * Concept of expressions, statements and syntax
 * Basic control structures such as loops, if-then-else statements
 * Concept of procedures
 * Concept of parameters, call by value vs. call by reference
 * Concept of functions and their return type
 * Basic Programming Skills: the students understand and know how to use the following:
 * Concept of recursion
 * Concept of dynamic programming
 * Concept of pointers
 * Basic data structures such as linked lists and binary trees

This should provide the basis needed for more complex courses on, say, basic algorithms, basic data types, objecto oriented programming, etc...

Pedro.Gonnet 14:29, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree that a fundamentals course, to introduce some of the most important and commonly used concepts is an excellent idea. However, I don't think that such a course can go very far without concrete examples written in a language that users can actually run. This isn't to say that pseudocode isn't exceptionally useful. Algorithms can best be described in it as pseudocode can hide the minutiae of implementation until the student is ready to tackle them. Dmclean 08:58, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I think a fundamentals course might work as an abstraction, but it is important to have another solid course that would be taken alongside it (co-requisite?) so that abstractions can be put into practice. The thing is they would require some co-ordination, because you would want the "language" course to follow with lessons/exercises that are based on the lessons in the abstract course.

 * Perhaps not a separate course, but exercises referenced by the course. If they were separate then we could do them in more than one programming language. Dmclean 02:19, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure we're there yet -- We really need more content in general, before separating out smaller topics or abstractions. Historybuff 16:46, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Looking of Topic:Java it seems to be geared more towards students that have some familiarity with programming already. Would anyone have a problem with me starting a separate course that is geared as a companion course to Introduction to Programming. I would probably also do one for C++ and maybe Pascal. Dmclean 15:56, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

--WiseWoman 21:18, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Course Order
Shouldn't courses be ordered in a practical from easiest to hardest instead of alphabetically? I mean, I see why the different programming languages are listed like that, but shouldn't there be, as Gabe said, lower level courses? DamienBlack 05:28, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, sometimes its better to learn C rather than BASIC because of the sheer practicality of C. Luckily, C happens to be high up in the list because of its name, which isn't such a bad thing as long as we can get some content going for C. --Draicone (talk) 22:53, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Courses vs Lessons
A lot of the 'courses' look more like individual lessons... I think this page will look far too cluttered if we keep this up. For example 'C++ Data Types' isn't a whole course, it is only one lesson that should be linked from a course that is something like 'Beginning C++'. Our courses should be broader. Imagine a young person or complete novice walking into this section, we want it to look clean, friendly and approachable. If we just had three lessons in C: Beginning C, Intermediate C, and Advanced C, it would feel much more approachable then the current list. Damien Black 05:44, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Importing Courses
I have some courses on XML and RelaxNG. These are in XML form, and I would like to convert to wikitext. Do you have any suggestions on ways to do this? Thanks, Tom Gaven

I've started to bring across some notes I've been putting on Novell Forge about the Microsoft MS 70-536 course .NET 2.0 Framework using mono. I've probably added these a bit in haste. The originals are at. Would such a set of notes be appropriate in the Computer Programming Topic? --Jason.cozens 20:32, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Recommended Course of Study
This section lists intro to programming > Java > C++. Personally, I feel we should make it intro to programming > C > C++ > Javascript, since once you learn C you can learn anything, and C, while being one of the most intricate languages, is by far the most detailed and one of the easiest to explain. Any comments? I'll change this in a week or so if nobody objects. --Draicone (talk) 23:07, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Is there a simpler language that could be used as a root for all other languages, like BASIC?--Rayc 00:01, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, BASIC isn't that simple when you think about it. I can code in C, C++, Java, PHP, Pascal and a number of other languages, yet I never want to learn BASIC. I tried it once and it was too hard. There are certain elements of BASIC that simply don't work and I'm not so sure we have enough BASIC coders to teach the language well anyway. --Draicone (talk) 22:54, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * If you're looking for the mother of all languages, it's not basic. Many features that were available in the 60s -- structured data, subroutines, recursion and dynamic memory to name a few -- are not part of BASIC. Just because something is primitive it doesn't mean it's older. Pedro.Gonnet 08:35, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

 * While there are religious wars about programming languages, C is not a good intro language for computers -- my personal feeling is that it shouldn't be introduced upfront. C can lead to a lot of sloppy code and bad habbits. I cut my programming teeth on (EEEK!!) BASIC, but it isn't an ideal language to start with either. (We should offer some basic courses, but they could be options/additional credit). Pascal is pretty decent really, but Java is also very good candidate too.
 * C is an essential skill -- don't get me wrong -- but for the price of power, you have a lot of danger, and that is hard sometimes for intro students to deal with. Historybuff 07:41, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Any discussion of programming languages is almost certain to devolve into what Babylon 5 fans would recognize as a Green/Purple debate. We all have our opinions, sometimes based on irrational prejudices (for example, I have an intense dislike for country music because of a group of people that I knew that all listened to country music) and sometimes hinging upon small details that we find unpalatable. I think that we should consider a format that allows us to include equivalent examples from multiple different languages. I say this primarily because, even though I have a current favorite language, I am not naive enough to believe that the advent of something better is not impossible. I think that we should vehemently avoid parallel pages with the same content in different languages (duplication, not to mention synchronization issues). I do think that we should try to pick one or two languages as the preferred language(s) of the university and that every page with programming examples should include it/them. Dmclean 08:48, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I respectfully disagree that there should be one or two preferred languages of the university. Although just about any language will produce the result you want, no one language can be considered "better" than all the rest.  Each language has its benefits and its drawbacks, imposing one over the other defeats the purpose of teaching in my opinion. <IP_ADDRESS> 19:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

 * After further consideration, I'm recanting my conclusions. Availability and interest of participants will drive the availability of course materials. Attempting to create or enforce anything like an actual policy would be worse than useless. Dmclean 15:55, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

 * This discussion may be settled, but I don't see a problem with having examples in multiple languages. Whoever authors the initial course content and examples can implement them in whatever language he or she wants. Other editors can then implement the same example in the language of their choice. For an example of this approach, see the printed text AI textbook by Russel and Norvig -- they have all of the examples in Java, Lisp, and Python. Mcuringa 01:43, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I have a few recommendations to improve this section:
 * 1) C is not an object oriented programming language. You can fake it, but it doesn't make sense to use C to teach OOP (or to suggest to students that it is an OO language). I suggest either removing C from the list of OOP languages, or change the requirement to any two programming languages, not just OO languages.
 * 2) The web based languages requirement doesn't really make sense as it stands:
 * 3) HTML is not a programming language
 * 4) You can't do much with PHP if you don't know HTML, so maybe HTML should be a pre-req
 * 5) SQL is not web based (although it is useful for web programming) -- maybe there should be a Dynamic Web Programming with SQL course as a later course in the SQL track
 * 6) I would recommend HTML as a pre-req and then web programming with ASP, PHP, JSP, Ruby, or Python.

Mcuringa 01:43, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I think diversity is good, I think the Perl mantra of "doing it several ways" is bad, especially for people who are just learning a language. It would be better to have a template or language walk throughs, with some way to "see" examples in other languages.
 * I do agree on the C course being in the OOP section -- I think this is meant as a co-requisite for C++.

 * Programming in C is not a prerequisite for C++, nor does it belong in an OOP section. There will be some shared resources for the basics of language syntax, pre-processor, compile and linking steps but they are two separate languages and should be taught as such.AnjaKotobide 21:45, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

 * There are lots of spots where there are contradictions in the lesson outlines or course of studies. We should try to fix them where we can. I will take a peek, but feel free to either edit and post feedback or continue to discuss. Historybuff 05:29, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Further comment -- pre reqs and co-reqs should be noted in the courses, I think ... the "course of study" should explain the core courses to achieve understanding in a topic area. Historybuff 05:33, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I think we need to develop a standard template for each of the languages. From a look around I think the best idea is the "Introduction to programming" course, which requires a co-req of another language course. The best of these being the "Introduction to programming in Java". I think we should develop a set of "Introduction to programming in X" lessons where X is any sensible programming language. The recommended course of study would start with one of these then combined with the "Introduction to Programming". From there other languages can be explored. A sensible set of languages may be C, C++, Java, Java script for procedural languages. It may also be of benefit to have introduction to programming in a function language e.g. lisp. The more languages covered the better. Looking at it from a the lerners point of veiw, they would probably chose C, C++, or Java just because these are the languages they will of heard of before coming to start study. Simon alfie 13:02, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Should the recommended course of study be designed so that a "graduate" of the course could be considered a competent programmer? Programming methodologies, workflow, design patterns, source control and test-automation are all skills that form part of a professional programmers role. These are cross-language core skills that should not be overlooked.AnjaKotobide 21:45, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Namespaces correct?
As I understood it the Topic: namespaces were for departments (like Computer Programming) not for individual learning programs (like Introduction to Computer Programming. I've put a question up about this on the namespaces talk page.--AdamG 20:07, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Game map editing
Xlbnushk 06:26, 19 November 2006 (UTC) -- What about game map editing? Many games now offer users the ability to create their own maps or levels. I think this should go under computer programming. Any thoughts on the matter?
 * Certianly not programming. It doesn't involve code unless you're writing scripts.  Once we reach that point, we can make programming courses for the scripting language used. - NickSentowski 20:29, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with Nick. Maybe a Topic:Game Design or something similar could coordinate the Game-related stuff we already have. Look at all these: search=game CQ 08:43, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I like the idea of a Topic:Game Design. Within this topic there could be subtopics for designing various genres of games (such as FPS, RPG, Platform, etc.) and perhaps a separate Topic for designing Mods for various games. One thing about game design, however is that it is not just limited to programming. Game design also encompasses graphic design, music and audio composition, physics, and a large amount of math and logic. If all these aspects were brought together, game design could possibly make up an entire School or Department. Subwayatrain 05:46, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Maps, Mods, games scripts and levels could be added with a Game Development section, but have no place in a Computer Programming course. Games programming might, i.e. SPU optimisations on PS3 etc...

What I'd like to see would be a section for programming languages, and sections included for Windows/ReactOS and the internals. I'm a long time fan of the ReactOS project, and it would be nice to have information here for Windows/ReactOS internals and development. Someday, if everyone works at it, we can have an open source Windows-like operating system that can natively run Windows programs and drivers. I volunteer to start on that, but I don't want to disrupt what already exists here.Spotted Lady (discuss • contribs) 07:57, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Mr. Superlove

Mr. Superlove is the debut studio album by Cincinnati, Ohio-based indie rock band Ass Ponys. It was originally released in 1990 on OKra Records, and was subsequently reissued by Anyway Records with several bonus tracks. It was produced by the Afghan Whigs' bassist John Curley, and was recorded in his house. Upon its initial release, the album became a commercial flop due to distribution problems. In 2006, select remastered songs from the album and its follow-up, Grim, along with various new outtakes, covers, and live versions, were released by Shake It Records on the album The Okra Years.

Covers of title track
A cover of the album's title track appears on What Jail is Like EP, a 1993 EP by the Afghan Whigs. The Whigs' cover of the track also appears on a 7" single released soon after Mr. Superlove, which also featured a cover of the Whigs' song "You, My Flower" by the Ass Ponys, and on the 2014 reissue of the Whigs's 1993 album Gentlemen.

Reception
Mr. Superlove was reviewed by Jason Cohen in the now-defunct indie music magazine Option. Vickie Gilmer of Trouser Press wrote of the album: "The frontman's slightly nasal, oddly high-pitched vocal tricks most definitely aren't for everyone, but his hell-bent strains give the Ass Ponys an instantly likable quality." In 2001, the Dayton Daily News described the album as a "regional classic".

Cockpit Theatre

The Cockpit was a theatre in London, operating from 1616 to around 1665. It was the first theatre to be located near Drury Lane. After damage in 1617, it was named The Phoenix.

History
The original building was an actual cockpit; that is, a staging area for cockfights. Most likely a round building with a peaked roof, about 40 ft in diameter, it was erected under Henry VIII, c. 1530-32, as part of a gaming complex. Records indicate a major restoration in 1581-82 and renovations in 1589-90, 1602-3, and 1608-9 (the latter under the supervision of John Best, "cockmaster" to Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales, King James I's eldest son and heir).

In August 1616, Christopher Beeston acquired the lease to the building and converted it to an indoor playhouse. In March 1617, rioting apprentices attempted to destroy the playhouse, probably out of anger that their favorite plays had been removed from the Red Bull outdoor amphitheater, which charged only one penny for admission, to this more expensive (six-penny) venue. The actors shot at the rioters, killing three. The apprentices entered the building and cut up the costumes.

Beeston's rapid restoration of the playhouse after the riot may explain why it was sometimes called the Phoenix. Like earlier theatres, such as The Theatre in Shoreditch and The Globe in Southwark, the location was just outside the jurisdiction of the City of London. Beeston expanded the original small building; the construction work prompted complaints by neighbors, which left traces in the legal records of the time. The resulting theatre was, by one estimate, 52 ft by 37 ft, "noticeably smaller than the Blackfriars."

The architect commissioned for the renovation is not known for a certainty, but circumstantial evidence points to Inigo Jones. Two sheets drawn by Jones and showing the interior and exterior design of some theatre have survived; John Orrell makes the case that the theatre is the Cockpit, while allowing that he cannot produce conclusive evidence to that end. (In 1629, Inigo Jones would design another "Cockpit" theatre, a private one within Whitehall called the Cockpit-in-Court or Royal Cockpit.)

Beeston intended the Cockpit to serve as an indoor complement to the Red Bull, the outdoor theatre then home to his acting troupe, Queen Anne's Men. A winter venue was needed to compete with the Blackfriars Theatre in the possession of their rival troupe, the King's Men. After a rocky start, the company proved successful in their new locale. Wickham attributes the success more to the theatre's location and comfort and to the flair of its manager, Beeston, than to the quality of its performers.

Beeston would oversee several different troupes in the Cockpit before his death in 1639. Queen Anne's Men were there from 1617 to 1619; when that company dissolved upon the death of Anne of Denmark in 1619, their place was taken by Prince Charles's Men from 1619 to 1622. Lady Elizabeth's Men were there from 1622 to 1624, and perhaps for sporadic periods as early as 1619 (the two companies, Prince Charles's and Lady Elizabeth's, had combined for a time ca. 1615). Queen Henrietta's Men had a long run at the Cockpit, from 1625 to 1636. The last troupe to occupy the Cockpit in Beeston's lifetime was one of his own creation, the King and Queen's Young Company, colloquially known as Beeston's Boys — the last assembly of boy actors in the period. They would continue in the theatre under the management of his son William.

William Beeston was forced out of the theatre when his choice of plays met with the disapproval of the Court. He was replaced by William Davenant in 1639. All theatres were closed by Parliament in 1642, under the Commonwealth. The Cockpit was used as a schoolroom, but plays continued to be shown illegally. It was raided by Puritan soldiers during a performance in 1649 and the players were imprisoned. In 1651 William Beeston paid £200 for repairs to the theatre, in the hope that he would be able to start performances there again — though the hope proved illusory. In the last years of the English Interregnum, under the common conceit that music was not acting, Davenant was permitted to present two licensed operas in the Cockpit: The Cruelty of the Spaniards in Peru in 1658 and Sir Francis Drake in 1659.

The theatres were permitted to reopen after the English Restoration in 1660, when Charles II granted Letters Patent to two companies to perform "legitimate drama" in London: the Duke's Company, led by Davenant, and the King's Company, led by Thomas Killigrew. Both companies briefly made use of the earlier generation of theatres including the Cockpit and the Salisbury Court Theatre, but quickly moved to newer and more fashionable venues — Davenant in 1661 to a theatre in Lincoln's Inn Fields that was once Lisle's Tennis Court, and Killigrew in 1660 to Gibbon's Tennis Court in Vere Street. The Cockpit was also used in this era by the companies of John Rhodes and George Jolly. Samuel Pepys wrote in his diary of several visits to the theatre between 1660 and 1663.

In 1663, Killigrew's King's Company opened the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane nearby. The Cockpit was unable to compete with this relatively grand new theatre and was further hamstrung since it was shut out of the monopoly on "legitimate drama" granted to the two patent companies. There is no record of any play being mounted at the Cockpit after 1665; the eventual fate of the structure is unknown.

The Phoenix was located in the middle of the area bounded today by Drury Lane, Great Queen Street, Great Wild Street, and Kemble Street. The entrance to the theatre was in Cockpit Alley, which ran from Drury Lane to Great Wild Street; the present-day Martlett Court is off Drury Lane roughly opposite where the entrance to Cockpit Alley was.

Agora É Tarde

Agora É Tarde (English: It's Too Late) was a Brazilian late-night talk show produced by Eyeworks and broadcast by Rede Bandeirantes since 2011. The show was created and hosted by Danilo Gentili, until 2013, when he moved to SBT. Rafinha Bastos substituted him as host of the show until its cancellation in 2015. It was the second most successful show by Bandeirantes.

Synopsis
Agora É Tarde, is a humorous current affairs program hosted by Danilo Gentili between 2011 and 2013. According to Gentili, the show follows a politically correct line rather than the style used by CQC's members. Gentili also described his show as "a show where we would like to watch". Since 2014 this program is hosted by Rafinha Bastos.

Events
Since 20 September 2012, the show took over the slot on Tuesday formerly occupied by Os Anjos do Sexo.

Since 24 January 2012, the show has been simultaneously broadcast on radio station BandNews FM.

The show reached its 100th broadcast on 6 April 2012. During the celebration, Gentilli announced that the show would be broadcast also on Fridays – becoming a daily broadcast.

On 28 March 2012, humorist Marcelo Mansfield had a fake argument with Léo Lins (also a humorist) on the show. This argument was only a viral April Fools' Day prank.

Reception
The show did not initially have any sponsors and not many celebrities were willing to be interviewed by Gentili. The show created new segments, focusing on a lighter type of humor, rather than the black or aggressive humor used on CQC. Within four months, the show became one of the most popular shows at Rede Bandeirantes and had favourable reviews.

Heeley railway station

Heeley railway station was a railway station in Sheffield, England. The station served the communities of Heeley, Meersbrook and Lowfield and was situated on the Midland Main Line near London Road on Heeley Bridge, lying between Sheffield Midland station and Millhouses railway station.

The station opened with the inauguration of the Midland Railway's main line between Chesterfield and Sheffield on 1 February 1870. This new station of 1870 was designed by the company architect John Holloway Sanders. It was built on an embankment between the A61, London Road South and the River Sheaf. During construction both the road and river were diverted to create space for the station and sidings. On 22 November 1876 an overnight passenger train from London St Pancras to Scotland via Carlisle derailed at Heeley due to a track defect, causing several people to be injured.

Initially the station had two platforms but this was increased to four when the line from Sheffield to Dore was widened between 1901 and 1903. Heeley station was the only station on this section of the line that was an elevated station with subway access from below to the platforms.

During the Great Sheffield Gale in 1962, there was a near miss at the station as a London to Sheffield express train narrowly avoided crashing into debris blown onto the tracks by the devastating storm; the station itself suffered damage which was never fully repaired. Heeley station closed on 10 June 1968 at the same time as Millhouses railway station and all the platform buildings were demolished. The subway is still present although both entrances have been blocked in; the entrance on London Road can be seen and iron railings are present.

In July 2017, it was proposed by Local Enterprise Partnership that new stations should be built at Millhouses and Heeley as well as new platforms at Dore & Totley. The plans would be part of a call to have better links in South Yorkshire area as well as plans for a new Woodhead Route reopening.

Talk:Polish/Some useful expressions

"Jak się masz" - how are you is unnatural phrase in Polish with different meaning compare to English. It is personal question, not greeting. IMO it can stay, but with cultural difference explanation and stressing that natives are not using it. --anon Pole 25.07.2017

Would "Dziękuję" be better translated as "thank you" (instead of the quite informal "thanks") to signify its (relative) formality? --Menchi 04:27, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Generally "Dziękuje" means "thanks". When you are about to say "Thank You", you have to say "Dziękuje Ci" No!!! I'm from Poland. "Dziękuję" means "Thank You" and "Dzięki" means "Thanks".

Through the Looking Glass (Toto album)

Through the Looking Glass is the eleventh studio album (though counted as the 12th album overall — see Toto XIV) by the American band Toto. It was released in 2002, three years after their last studio release, Mindfields. The album consists of cover versions of songs that had inspired the band.

Reception
AllMusic noted that Toto made no attempt to rework the songs they covered for the album, and concluded that "while it's nice to know that the band has good taste in other people's music, that doesn't explain why anyone needs to hear them copy that music when the originals are so readily available."

Eric Reissner

Max Erich (Eric) Reissner (January 5, 1913 – November 1, 1996) was a German-American civil engineer and mathematician, and Professor of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was recipient of the Theodore von Karman Medal in 1964, and the ASME Medal in 1988.

Reissner is known as co-developer of the Mindlin–Reissner plate theory. He is remembered by The New York Times (1996) as the "mathematician whose work in applied mechanics helped broaden the theoretical understanding of how solid objects react under stress and led to advances in both civil and aerospace engineering."

Professor Reissner is perhaps best known for the Reissner shear deformation plate theory, which resolved the classical boundary-condition paradox of Kirchhoff, and for establishment of the Reissner variational principle in solid mechanics, for which he received an award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Professor Reissner also has been honored by the American Society of Civil Engineers with the Theodore von Kármán Medal, by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers with the Timoshenko Medal, and by the University of Hanover, Germany, with an honorary doctorate. He was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the International Academy of Astronautics, and an honorary member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the German Society for Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik). He wrote nearly 300 articles published in scientific and technical journals and continued these contributions to the advancement of knowledge until the last few months of his illness.

Biography
Reissner was born in Aachen, Germany, son of Hans Jacob Reissner, an aeronautical engineer, and Josefine (Reichenberger) Reissner. At the Technical University of Berlin he obtained his Bsc in Applied Mathematics in 1935, and his MSc in Civil Engineering in 1936. Next he obtained his PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1938 under Dirk Struik with the thesis, entitled "Contributions to the Theory of Elasticity of Non-Isotropic Materials."

Reissner started his academic career in 1938 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he taught mathematics. In 1947 he was appointed Professor of Mathematics, and served in this position until 1969. Next from 1969 to 1979 he was Professor of Applied Mechanics and Engineering Sciences at the University of California, San Diego. From 1948 to 1955 he had also been researcher at NASA's Langley Research Center, and from 1956 to 1957 at Lockheed's Palo Alto Research Center.

Reissner was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1962. He was awarded the honorary doctor by the University of Hanover, and was elected honorary member by the Society for Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (GAMM). He received the Timoshenko Medal in 1973, the Theodore von Karman Medal in 1964, and of the ASME Medal in 1988.

Keris bahari

A Keris Bahari (or "Bahari kris") is a long version of a kris dagger mainly used in Sumatra. It is also called Keris panjang (meaning, "Long kris"). Keris bahari is dubbed by European people as "Sumatran rapier kris" or "execution kris".

History
Keris bahari evolved from the original kris, which is a dagger. As men fought, they needed a weapon with greater reach, and kris became longer and heavier. Two forms then evolved: The first is rapier kris (keris bahari), and the second is broadsword kris (sundang). Because the blade became longer, the handle had to be straightened to balance it.

Description
The hilt of keris bahari is made of horn, sometimes of silver and fish ivory, usually beautifully carved. The shape of the hilt is straight or slightly curving at the end. The sheath tip is usually rounded, but if cased in silver it often has square tip. The blade of keris bahari is long and narrow. Keris bahari is classified to 3 type depending on the length: The longest is called keris panjang, the medium keris alang, and the shortest, keris pendek.

Execution by kris
The execution by kris is called hukuman salang. Salang is synonymous with keris panjang. The executioner made the victim to squat then drove the keris panjang from certain spot inside his collar bone down to the heart.

Clive Allen (basketball)

Clive Allen (born 23 August 1961) is a British basketball coach and former player, best known for playing for the Birmingham Bullets. After retirement, he worked on the coaching staff of BBL teams the Milton Keynes Lions and the Birmingham Panthers. He was also an England international, and is the father of women's basketball player Dominique Allen.

Career
During his playing career, he played for teams including the Birmingham Bullets of the British Basketball League (BBL) and the Dudley Bears. He was best known for his work with the Bullets, being described after his career as a "legend" from that club, and twice made it to the play-offs with the team. Allen was also an international, playing for the England men's national basketball team on five occasions.

Along with Tony Simms, he coached the Aston Athletics basketball team in 2005 and shortly afterwards was assistant coach at the Milton Keynes Lions under Nigel Lloyd. He was general manager for the Birmingham Panthers, again under Lloyd, during their only season during 2007–08. Following the club's closure, he was in discussion with association football club West Bromwich Albion to form a new club for the BBL, and to bring back the Birmingham Bullets. In 2009 he became Sporting Club Albion's (part of West Bromwich Albion F.C.) basketball co-ordinator, and later became Head Basketball Development Coach for the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley.

In 2024, Allen was brought in as the head coach of the City of Birmingham Rockets women's team.

Personal life
Allen is the father of Dominique Allen, who plays for the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles women's basketball team. She has been chosen for the British team at the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Talk:Without You, I'm Nothing

Hm, actually there is no comma in the title of this album, therefore it should be moved to Without You I'm Nothing (Sandra Bernhard) (since there is already an entry for Without You I'm Nothing). What do you think? Wikizen 18:19, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
