Template:Indent family usage

This 'Indent_family_usage' template documentation is transcluded for all Indent family usage tagged templates [ [ edit] ].

 * Ver: C-- (Mn) fx interwiki link, delete extra /noinclude at bottom -- Fra nkB 13:04, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ver: B-- nesting fix Fra nkB 09:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ver: A-- V=4 call revision, Fra nkB 05:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

 * This template is called as usage notes by the entire family of templates using Indent logic: It also auto-categories them and tags all the same with the same interwikitmp-grp template and categories.

 * Split out of Indent at this date and time. // Fra nkB 20:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Usage

 * This is common usage: located in Indent family usage for the small family of typing-aid and formatting templates calling . For the specific differences and behaviors, see the entry for this '' template below.

   ,       takes a numeric argument 'nn' after the pipe and provides that many ('nn') consecutive spaces like  (or 'S' and 'SP'). Indent differs from space only in that it automatically begins a wrapped-newline, then spaces over 'nn' spaces, whereas space spaces over 'nn' in the same (current) line. Consequently, this template can not be used inline to create alignment between adjacent text lines, or to space out titles, etc. Use space for such needs. However, the wrapped-newline generated is not the same as an HTML  (or hard return) newline, but instead one which returns left to the margin of 'whatever indentation level' is in effect in expansion of the text block built using wiki markup language set by the familiar control characters ':', '*', or '#', and their legal combinations, like ':*', '**', ':#' and etc.
 * Within wikimarkup, a 'wrapped-newline' means it will indent to align with line beginning formatting commands such as  ':#', ':::::', '::**' etcetera. As any second argument (perameter) to 'indent' will produce a second double wrapped newline, this gives the capacity for adding vertical whitespace to paragraph organized test stream even when deeply indented by successive numberized (or not) sub-paragraphs. This feature has earned itself it's own hardcoded template i2/I2 with a conveniently shorter name.

 * A feature of note in this family is that text formatting commands like bold or italic text carry over past the application of the template through and past the so called 'wrapped newline'. Hence these (related) templates have many uses in block quotes. Wiki-markup would require each paragraph displayed to individually be text effect formatted. Judicious use of these can save a lot of time and effort. Note the clarity and vertical separation of the numberized list following in related family members.

 * The actual number of resulting 'displayed' spaces in these templates or those depending upon Space is highly browser and font selection dependent, due to the way it treats a given text line and tries to compact whitespace, uses partial width characters in the font, etcetera. In general, lining things of unequal length up in a column gives a near miss to the ideal, being a somewhat wavy column differing by partial spaces given the letters in a font. It is however just a near miss, and quite useful.

Related family members

 * Most of these call directly, :and using  'directly' itself is rare as 'I', 'I0', 'I2', 'I5' is much shorter and more compact. (Which attribute is certainly desirable in a typing aide.)
 * 1) ' -- calls indent with a default of three spaces, or passes on an argument if other padding is desirable whist remaining more compact inside a block of text. This line begins with an I call. Note the indented nature and truncation of the line preceding. In sum, I terminates the sentence immediately preceeding, and starts a newline with an indented first line. Subsequent wrapped lines, wrap to whatever wiki markup paragraph control characters is in effect on the text block. This makes it versitile and useful for signed posts and involved discussions on wiki talk pages. (Also Very useful in tables where edit-jumble is a factor, or on talks to create indented paragraph beginings inside a wiki indented ':', '::', '::*', or a '#' prefixed line).Can also be given a second perameter such as ' in which case, acts identical to  below... both these examples causing a fifteen space indentation.
 * 2)  -- that's eye-zero, not (the two letters) eye-Oh -- Spaces down one line like 'i' preventing additional wrapping, but lining up with whatever inherited indentation comes from wiki markup control characters '*', ':', '#', etc. are operative. It's most frequently used to restore indentation to the 'normal indent' immediately following something doubly indented by '**' or '##' using the sequence construct: ": continuation text in the discussion"
 * 3)  -- performs a second linefeed similar to

in a line, but retains the inherited indent in a text block, and like I0, does not actually indent the first line unless given a second perameter. This creates vertical whitespace that was a common misnomer (commonly misnamed) 'double spaced' paragraphs in the days of typewriters before WYSIWIG and word processing. It make keeping presentations clear easy and painless.
 * 1)  -- Same as I, but using a default of five spaces extra indentation in and after single newline effect within wiki markup paragraphs indented flow.

Example calls

 * -- precedes the sentence begining: However, the newline generated... early in the text above.

 * I-- use is illustrated above immediately preceding the paragraphs beginning "{Very useful..." and "Consequently, this template...", as well as several other places which should be obvious as the lines are indented three spaces one line down.

 *    , , etc. ...space and indent are limited to adding 30 spaces.

Peter Döhle Schiffahrts-KG

Peter Döhle Schiffahrts-KG ("PD") is a seaborne shipping company and maritime service provider headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. It is the parent holding company of the Döhle Group which has several affiliates and is operating worldwide. The Company owns and operates a fleet of container vessels, multi-purpose vessels and bulk carriers. The group of companies employs worldwide around 4,800 crew members as well as 2,000 employees ashore.

History
The company was originally established in 1956 by Peter Döhle and acted as a so-called "Vertrauensmakler" (i.e. agent to ship owners in Germany). Döhle, one of the most prominent ship owner from Hamburg, died on May 24, 2002, at the age of 75.

Since 1999, Jochen Döhle, Peter Döhle's son, is the principle and managing partner for the Döhle Group. Per January 1, 2005, Mr. Christoph joined as personally liable and managing partner in the company. Since its beginning, the company has significantly increased the size of its managed fleet as well as its range of services.

Fleet
Döhle Group is entrusted with the operation of a fleet of vessels of about 400 container vessels, multi-purpose ships and bulk carriers. Today´s fleet encompasses container vessels with a capacity of 300 up to 13,000 TEU, multi-purpose carriers and bulk carriers ranging from 1,800 to about 210,000 dwt deadweight.

Corporate development
Throughout the last decades the group continuously invested in and cooperated with a number of partners in the field of shipping. In 2009, PD took over shares in the Chilean container line CSAV. After working together for more than 30 years, PD acquired shares  in the Slovenian bulk carrier owner Splosna Plovba. In 2011, Döhle Group established a joint venture together with Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Group in order to mutually own a set of bulk carriers. Most recently, PD established a joint venture with the comparable shipping giant Costamare Shipping called Blue Net Chartering GmbH in February, 2018 providing charter broking services for a fleet of about 220 container vessels.

PHP Programming/The if Structure

The if statement
Conditional structures are used to control which statements get executed. They are composed of three fundamental elements:
 * if statements;
 * elseif statements; and
 * if else statements.

Conditionals in PHP are structured similarly to those found in C++ and Java. The structure begins with an if clause, which is composed of the word "if" followed by a true/false statement in parentheses <tt></tt>. The subsequent code will be contained in a block, denoted by curly braces <tt>{ }</tt>. Sometimes the braces are omitted, and only one line will follow the <tt>if</tt> statement. <tt>elseif</tt> and <tt>else</tt> clauses sometimes occur after the <tt>if</tt> clause to test for different statements.

The <tt>if</tt> clause says "If this statement is true, I want the program to execute the following statements. If it is false, then ignore these statements." In technical terms, it works like this: When an <tt>if</tt> statement is encountered, the <tt>true</tt>/<tt>false</tt> statement in parentheses is evaluated. If the statement is found to be true, the subsequent block of code contained in curly braces is executed. However, if the statement is found to be false, the program skips those lines and executes the next non-blank line.

Following the <tt>if</tt> clause are two optional clauses: <tt>else</tt> and <tt>elseif</tt>. The <tt>elseif</tt> (or <tt>else if</tt>) clause says "If the last statement was false, let's see, if this statement is true. If it is, execute the following code. If it isn't, then skip it." <tt>elseif</tt> statements are only evaluated when the preceding <tt>if</tt> statement comes out to be false. Otherwise they are skipped. Other than that, the <tt>elseif</tt> clause works just like a regular <tt>if</tt> clause. If it is true, its block is executed, if not, its block is skipped.

Finally, the <tt>else</tt> clause serves as a "catch-all" for an <tt>if</tt> statement. Essentially the <tt>else</tt> statement says "If all of the preceding tests fail, then execute this code."

Conditional expressions
Conditional values function via basic formal logic. It is important to understand how the <tt>if</tt> clause, among other clauses, evaluates these conditional values.

It is easiest to examine such with <tt>boolean</tt> values in mind, meaning that the result of a conditional value will be either TRUE or FALSE and not both. For example, if variable <tt>$x = 4</tt>, and a conditional structure is called with the expression <tt>if ($x == 4)</tt>, then the result of the expression will be TRUE, and the <tt>if</tt> structure will execute. However, if the expression is <tt>($x == 0)</tt>, then the result will be FALSE, and the code will not execute. This is simple enough.

This becomes more complicated when complex expressions are considered. The two basic operators that expressions can be conjoined with are the AND (<tt>&&</tt>) and OR (<tt>||</tt>).

Examples
We are given variables <tt>$x</tt> and <tt>$y</tt>.

Given the complex expression:

We are given a result of TRUE, because the result of both separate expressions are true. When expressions are joined with the AND operator, both sides must be true for the whole expression to be true.

Similarly:

We are given a result of <tt>TRUE</tt> as well, because at least one expression is true. When expressions are joined with the OR operator, at least one side must be true for the whole expression to be true.

Conversely,

This expression will return <tt>FALSE</tt>, because at least one expression in the whole is false.

However,

This expression will return <tt>TRUE</tt>, because at least one expression in the whole is true.

Code Blocks
A code block is one or more statements or commands that are contained between a pair of curly braces <tt>{ }</tt>. Blocks are used primarily in loops, conditionals and functions. Blocks can be nested inside one another, for instance as an <tt>if</tt> structure inside of a loop inside of a function.

If, after one of the conditional statements, there is no block of code enclosed by curly braces, only the next statement will be executed. It is recommended that you avoid using this to help prevent accidents when adding extra code after the block. The following code will not work as intended: To avoid this problem, make sure to use brackets with conditional statements, even if there is only a single line of code to be executed. This prevents the error in the above code from occurring when you add an extra line after the existing block. This code fixes the previous bug.

Shorthand notation
If you are writing a long sentence where there are some parts non-static, you may create the string using if statement. The PHP syntax allows you to do this even within one line, using following shortcut syntax:

This code uses the shorthand syntax within a line.

Dirac Delta Function

Definition
The Dirac function $$\delta(t)$$ is a "signal" with unit energy that is concentrated around $$t = 0$$

 * $$\delta(x) = \begin{cases} \infty, & x = 0 \\ 0, & x \ne 0 \end{cases}$$

Alternative definition

 * $$\delta(t) = \lim_{\sigma \to 0} \frac{1}{\sigma \sqrt(2\pi)}\exp(-\frac{t^2}{2\sigma^2})$$

This is a gaussian distribution with spread 0.

Energy

 * $$E = \int^{\infty}_{-\infty}\delta(t)^2 dt = \infty$$

NB: $$\delta(t)^2 $$ has no mathematical meaning, as $$\delta(t) $$ isn't an ordinary function but a distribution. The special nature of $$\delta(t) $$ appears clearly e.g. when you try to square the same Gaussian distribution above and try to compute the same limit of the integral in $$ -\infty, \infty $$. The result will be quite surprising: it is $$\infty$$!

Convolution

 * $$y(t) * \delta(t) = \int^{\infty}_{-\infty} y(\tau)\delta(t - \tau) d\tau = y(t)$$

Kronecker Delta Function
The Kronecker delta function is the discrete analog of the Dirac function. It has Energy 1 and only a contribution at $$k = 0$$

 * $$\delta(k) = \begin{cases} 1, & k = 0 \\ 0, & k \ne 0 \end{cases}$$

Energy

 * $$E = \sum^{\infty}_{k = -\infty} \delta(k) ^2 = 1$$

Convolution

 * $$y(k) * \delta(k) = \sum^{\infty}_{m = -\infty} y(k)\delta(k - m) = y(k)$$

Mantas Adomėnas

Mantas Adomėnas (born 1 October 1972) is a Lithuanian classicist and politician. He was first elected to the Seimas in 2008 and served until 2020. He earned a Ph.D. degree in classics from the University of Cambridge. His best known work is probably the article The Fluctuating Fortunes of Heraclitus in Plato.

Adomėnas was designated as the Vice Chairman of the Homeland Union in 2017. He ran for a Seimas seat as an independent in 2020 and lost but was selected as deputy minister of foreign affairs in December 2020 by Gabrielius Landsbergis.

Literary Career
In 2023, Mantas Adomėnas published his first fiction book, an intellectual spy novel Moneta & labirintas (The Coin & the Labyrinth). The novel quickly gained critical acclaim, winning the prestigious 2023 Book of the Year award. The second part of the novel was released in 2024 and the dilogy is currently being translated into Latvian language.

Adomėnas's novel is praised for its intricate narrative and deep intellectual layers, blending elements of espionage with philosophical and historical insights. Critics have compared his work to that of John le Carré and Umberto Eco, highlighting its complexity and the seamless integration of historical and fictional elements.

Influence peddling, other allegations
While Vice Chairman of Homeland Union Adomėnas was stripped of party membership in 2018 after being found guilty by party governance organs of influence peddling for MG Baltic, a business conglomerate with perceived Russian connections, with the aim of facilitating “capture of the party” by the business group.

Misogyny accusations
During a parliamentary sitting in 2010 Adomėnas publicly called a fellow MP Birutė Vėsaitė “vištų višta” (literally, a hen's hen), inviting accusations of misogyny. He apologized 2 days later.

Support for Taiwan, Hong Kong independence
Adomėnas is a supporter of Taiwan and Hong Kong independence movements. He organized a rally with slightly over 100 participants on 23 August 2019, during the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests, in solidarity with a protest in Hong Kong named the "Baltic Way". During the rally, Adomėnas decried a group of about a dozen counter-protesters as having been "hired". Since March 2021 Adomėnas has been member of Lithuania-Taiwan Forum, an NGO supporting Taiwan independence. Gintaras Steponavičius, accused in the Liberal Party bribery case on behalf of MG Baltic, is also part of the initiative.

John Wilden ( Antwerp, 1585/6 - 1653) was a Dutch landscape painter in the studio of Peter Paul Rubens from the Southern Netherlands.

Biography
Jan Wildens was probably born in 1585 (maybe 1586) in Antwerp. He was the son of Henry and Magdalena Wildens Vosbergen. His father died young and his mother remarried Cornelis Cock; their daughter Susanne Cock married Cornelis de Vos in 1617. Cornelis de Vos was the brother of Paul de Vos and the brother-in-law of Frans Snyders: a family of painters.

Wildens' artistic training started with Pieter Verhulst in 1596, when he was ten or eleven years old. Works of the latter are little known or not. He became a freemason in the Sint-Lucasgilde of Antwerp in 1604. The effigy of Wildens is known through a portrait by Peter Paul Rubens that was probably made in the first couple of years that Wildens was working in his studio, specifically 1616 or 1617. Remarkably, the portrait seems to have been used in the work De galerij van Cornelis van der Geest by Willem van Haecht in 1628. This portrait and the portrayal of Wildens in the gallery are almost identical.

Wildens lived in Italy from 1613 to 1616 (historians disagree about the exact dates: Adler 1613-1616 Sutton, Devisscher 1614-1616). As evidence for this period in Italy, the series of engravings "de 12 maanden" (1614) is cited upon which later paintings, in slightly modified form, for the Palazzo Bianco in Genoa are based. It is in this series he goes through a clear evolution in style. Before he went to Italy he was strongly influenced by an older generation of landscape painters, Jan Brueghel the Younger Hans Bol, Joos de Momper and Adriaen van Stalbemt. The first works of the series (januari, april, juni) still show this influence. They are characterized by extensive details. In augustus, september and november these schematic compositions disappear, they become more realistic and the influence of the landscape painter Paul Bril becomes apparent. In 1616 he returned to Antwerp, and was working in the studio of Rubens.

In a series of paintings made by the studio between 1616 and 1620 his hand is clearly recognizable, he contributed wide and peaceful landscapes to the Decius Mus tapestry series, de piëteit van de Graaf van Habsburg, de verkrachting van de dochters van Leukippos, Cimon en Efigenia, …. De piëteit van de Graaf van Habsburg'(1616) dates from just after Wildens return from Italy. Experts disagree about the question of who painted the figures in the painting. L. Burchard and Evers believe that the figures are painted by Wildens because there is a later version in which Wildens reuses the entire composition with slight modifications. The composition of de verkrachting van de dochters van Leukippos was Rubens idea and allegedly he also altered the landscape made by Wildens. In a sketch for Cimon en Efigenia (1616-1618) Rubens left the left-hand side of the foreground blank and relied upon Snijders for the design and execution of the still life (the fruit, birds and monkey). Rubens reserved part of the canvas for Snijders, but not for Wildens.

It can be concluded that the contributions of Wildens to the studio of Rubens had merit but he had less freedom compared to Snijders. Even so, the relationship between Rubens and Wildens must have been rather close because Rubens was a witness on the marriage contract between Wildens and Maria Stappaert on October 26, 1619.

That they moved in the same circles can be derived from the fact that Rubens later married the daughter of the sister of Mary Stapp Standaert, Hélène Fourment. Furthermore, this close relationship is also supported by the fact that Rubens appointed Wilden, along with Snijders and Moermans, as 'art experts for the execution of his will' in 1640. Wildens was relevant in the studio initially to create landscape backgrounds but also for the many copies he made to the work of Rubens. He worked in the studio together with Frans Snyders, Jacob Jordaens and Anthony van Dyck.

After 1620, when he no longer works would have been in the studio (Rubens would paint landscapes from yourself), there is talk of a direct influence of Rubens's landscapes. This would have led to a global approach to composition that emphasized the global organization and decorative beauty of the scene. Wildens was his best work between 1625 and 1635 have made; it comes to large sizes lying rural roads, forests and pastoral scenes, often with tall trees and a view of rolling hills and ponds, portray. The influence of Rubens' landscapes would always evident but was not matched by Wilden.

The work Landscape with a shepherd refers Devisscher at work Landscape with shepherds dancing that in the KMSKA located. It is dated 1631. As Devisscher puts it is the work of Wildens partly inspired by the more dynamic work of Rubens' Landscape with a shepherd and his flock, which is located in the National Gallery in London. There seems something wrong, because the work of Rubens Devisscher quotes does not really show a dynamic composition and is also dated around 1638. Fezien the date, the work of Rubens impossible Wildens influenced.

It is likely more likely Devisscher means the work A shepherd with his flock in a woody landscape (which is also in the National Gallery). This work is dated around 1615-1622 and the compositions are much more alike. Devisscher made a mistake as regards the titles. Titles are not always fixed, but in this case it is confusing because there is effectively a work is that bears the name Landscape with a shepherd and his flock.

Both Devisscher, Sutton and Adler believe that only Wildens in the period from 1616 to 1620 worked with Rubens. Purely hypothetical terms, he might be found somewhere an indication that this period may be classified as arbitrary. There is a work of Die Verspottung Latona durch that lykische Bauern that the hand of Wildens and an unknown employee studio of Rubens. The date is unknown. The figuration of the employee and the scenery of course Wilden. The figures on the left to do quite a Bosch-like in that sense and stand in stark contrast to the female figure and the child. The Latona figure with his child taken from a work by Rubens, in particular, the reconciliation between Esau and Jacob (National Gallery, Scotland). This work has the date 1624 and thus provides a terminus post quem for the work of Wildens and the unknown employee. It could be argued that it is not because Wildens worked with an employee of Rubens that he therefore is in direct contact with the studio can be placed. It is true that he seems to have maintained good contacts and in that sense, he might speak of an implicit link between Wildens and the studio (or employees) after 1620.

Work with other artists
Besides Rubens, he worked for several other artists including:
 * Jacob Jordaens
 * Frans Snyders
 * Paul de Vos
 * Jan Boeckhorst
 * Cornelis Schut

 * ALT5:... that National Transportation Safety Board investigators are considering whether traffic detouring around an accident on the nearby Taconic State Parkway was a contributing factor to the Valhalla train crash (wreckage pictured)?
 * Reviewed: Tunisian Baccalaureate
 * Comment: Failed ITN nomination

Created by Ktr101 (talk), Epicgenius (talk), Mjroots (talk), Ɱ (talk), and Daniel Case (talk). Nominated by George Ho (talk) at 19:36, 7 February 2015 (UTC).

 * I have rewritten the hooks to be more interesting. Daniel Case (talk) 20:29, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * No need to rewrite; just simply add. I added back my first three hooks and converted your hooks into ALTs. --George Ho (talk) 22:55, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Except that just-the-facts-ma'am hooks are dull as grey dishwater (and even more so when they're just three different ways of phrasing the same thing). By the time this hook runs, the story will be old news. Better to use something people won't be aware of. Daniel Case (talk) 01:33, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * That's a good point, DC. EEng (talk) 05:32, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Personally, I feel that none of the above alt hooks are particularly interesting, and make the crash sound as run-off the mill as deadly train crashes go. I have an alternative:
 * ALT 6: ... that the February 2015 train crash (wreckage pictured) in Valhalla, New York is the deadliest in the Metro-North Railroad's history?
 * I'd like to officially add this alt hook to this nomination. Epic Genius (talk) 20:53, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure. However, unfortunately, it is "run of the mill as deadly train crashes go." Yes, it's the deadliest in the railroad's history. But six deaths is rather a small number of fatalities compared to some other "deadliests" in other railroads' history. Also consider that it's not that exceptional since MNRR has had only two passenger-fatality accidents in its history. Which actually suggests another hook possibility:
 * ALT7: ... that Metro-North Railroad, after having no passenger fatalities for its first 32 years, just had its second fatal accident (wreckage pictured) in 14 months? Daniel Case (talk) 03:53, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Let me suggest we put this on hold awhile until the investigation develops something more interesting. EEng (talk) 02:19, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * That could take months. In the meantime, we could, it has occurred to me, fold that "deadliest" bit int some of the other hooks. I will try later. Daniel Case (talk) 19:20, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * How about death by third-rail debris? (BTW, I'd just as soon see the names of the dead removed from the article -- I don't see how they serve the reader's understanding of the subject, and it's a bit invasive, especially given the recency of this.) EEng (talk) 19:31, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * They have been widely reported already, one of them has turned out to be notable, and no one's objected to the similar section in December 2013 Spuyten Duyvil derailment. Daniel Case (talk) 04:17, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I have no doubt they're widely reported. My fundamental concern is that it just doesn't give the reader any better understanding of the accident. EEng (talk) 04:19, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * We also have a list of victims of the Virginia Tech shooting in that article (albeit in a box; which perhaps we could consider here). Apparently the practice is fairly widespread. WP:NOTMEMORIAL doesn't apply since that refers specifically to articles about the recently deceased regardless of notability, not mentions of their names in articles about the notable events that led to their passing. Basically, if you think this is something we shouldn't ever ever do, the issue should be addressed globally as a policy reform. Daniel Case (talk) 04:25, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * It's not a big deal and I don't feel strongly about it, nor do I see it as a global issue. For me it's just a question of editorial judgment: 5 years from now, will readers wanting to learn about the accident find their understanding improved by this list of names? I happen to think the answer is No, and that this clutters up the article. I wouldn't mention it except that, in addition, for a recent event it's a bit WP:NEWSy to include this information, and -- yes -- I think it's kind of invasive. Please don't quote any more policies because the question isn't whether it's allowable, just whether it improves the article. EEng (talk) 04:35, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * OK, sorry if I misread you. You have a point ... perhaps this will not seem relevant in a few years. Daniel Case (talk) 18:23, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes... but it's relevant now, so we should come up with a hook that makes the reader interested. Like this:
 * ALT8: ... that Metro-North Railroad, the busiest commuter railroad in the U.S., recently had its second fatal accident (wreckage pictured) in 14 months?
 * Epic Genius (talk) 21:24, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * In that vein, as per my previous suggestion of combining the "deadliest" aspect with the other hooks:
 * * ALT9:... that the driver killed in the Valhalla train crash (wreckage pictured), the deadliest in Metro-North Railroad's history, had her Mercedes-Benz ML350 on the tracks for about 30 seconds before the train hit it?
 * * ALT10:... that National Transportation Safety Board investigators are considering whether traffic detouring around an accident on the nearby Taconic State Parkway was a contributing factor to the Valhalla train crash (wreckage pictured), the deadliest in Metro-North Railroad's history?

New enough, long enough, within policy, no copyvios detected, QPQ done. So many hooks! Okay, ALT5 and ALT10 are too long, and I'm also striking the original hook, ALT1, ALT2, ALT6, and ALT8 as insufficiently interesting given the other hooks. For ALT7, the article does not mention that Metro-North is 32 years old; I'll restore it if a source is found. That leaves three, all of which are referenced in the text. My preference in descending order is ALT9, ALT4, ALT3. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 03:19, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Antony-22,

Kapitan Laut Buisan

Kapitan Laut Buisan (reigned: 1597–1619), also known as Datu Katchil or Sultan Laut Buisan, was the sixth Sultan of Maguindanao in the Philippines. He was a direct descendant of Shariff Kabungsuwan, a Muslim missionary who preached Islam in the Philippines and established the sultanate after marrying a Sulu princess in the 16th century.

Life and career
Buisan was the younger half-brother of Sultan Dimasangcay Adil (reigned: 1578–1585) and Sultan Gugu Sarikula (reigned: 1585–1597), both having ties with the Sultanate of Sulu. He controlled his nephew, the Rajah Muda or crown prince, after displacing his older brother Sarikula. The Rajah Muda was Dimasangcay's son.

In 1597, Buisan lost at the Battle of Buayan. So, later, in 1602, he joined forces with Rajah Sirongan to raid Spanish settlements at Cuyo and Calamianes islands with 100 boats that could accommodate over 100 men each.

In 1603, Buisan captured a Jesuit cleric named Melchor Hurtado, thus assuring him enough influence to forge an alliance with the datus of Leyte. However, after an unsuccessful raid (pangangayaw as it was locally known) in 1606, Buisan distanced himself and the Rajah Muda away from Sirongan and established a new community by the Cotabato coast.

Earlier, on September 8, 1605, Sirongan had already signed a treaty with the Spanish, swearing allegiance to the King of Spain. The Spanish recognized that Sirongan had real power over Maguindanao and not Buisan. Sirongan then helped the Spanish in fighting the Portuguese in Malacca. Sirongan would then forge an alliance with Ternate and Sulu to attack the Spanish Empire. However soon enough, Sirongan's power waned. Buisan was succeeded by his son, Muhammad Dipatuan Kudarat (reigned: 1619-1671), who first distinguished himself in a raid in 1616.

Tick Tock (Clean Bandit and Mabel song)

"Tick Tock" is a song by English electronic music group Clean Bandit and English singer Mabel, featuring American rapper 24kGoldn. It was written by Mabel, 24kGoldn, Kamille, Grace Chatto and Jack Patterson, the latter two of whom also produced the song with Mark Ralph. It was released by Atlantic Records UK on 21 August 2020 as the first single from Clean Bandit's upcoming third studio album. The song is also included as a bonus track on the digital reissue of Mabel's debut studio album, High Expectations.

Background
In a Zoom interview with ITN, the group revealed that they had started writing the song in November 2019, and that the song was finished just before the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. "It's been a mad process finishing it during this time," said Jack Patterson. "And even making the video when it was still lockdown situation, and working in that environment was quite crazy." He also praised both collaborators on the song, saying that they have been "so nice to work with and just made it super easy". Grace Chatto said that the group did not meet 24kGoldn in person, as he was in Los Angeles at the time, and they did everything remotely, including the filming of his part in the music video.

Chatto explained in another interview with the Daily Star that the song is about being "obsessed" with a guy. "We wrote it just before the pandemic and I was feeling a little obsessed with a guy – you know that annoying thing where you don't wanna be obsessed but you are? And if I find myself in that situation I do something I love and something which makes me feel satisfied in another way. In lockdown I enjoyed going for walks. I found being in nature makes you see the bigger picture again."

Whilst some have suggested that the song may be inspired by the video-sharing social networking service TikTok, Jack Patterson has denied this in an interview with the Metro, and reiterated that the song is about "an obsessive relationship".

Release
On 17 August 2020, Grace Chatto of Clean Bandit announced the song through a video posted on the group's social media pages. "Our new single is ready, it's called 'Tick Tock' and features Mabel and 24kGoldn, it's out this Friday," she said. "We are so excited for you to hear it!" The single's cover art was also revealed in the Instagram post. Mabel and 24kGoldn replied to the post with a smiling face with hearts emoji and "let's goooo", respectively. Mabel also posted a short video of her lip-syncing to the song on her social media pages.

An acoustic version of the song and an acoustic video was released on 4 September 2020.

Music video
Directed solely by Clean Bandit, the official video for "Tick Tock" premiered at 1 pm BST on 21 August 2020, after a 30-second trailer was released one day prior. It takes place at a house that resembles a cuckoo clock in the middle of a forest of glaciers. It also features a bathtub full of popcorn, as well as cardboard cities with running trains surrounding various music instruments, such as drums and digital pianos.

While the song is about obsessive relationships, the music video takes a slightly different direction. Jack Patterson said that they took a lighter approach and made the video about their own individual obsessions. "I have a Hornby model of a Eurostar train spinning around me. I love all types of transport," said Patterson.

Live performances
On 29 August 2020, Clean Bandit and Mabel performed the song live during the final of the fourth series of The Voice Kids UK.

Talk:Outdoor Survival

Time to strike
Hi, my name's Chris; I'm a certified survival instructor. I've been talking with the folks at 'Pedia and they directed me here. As of now, this 'book has some good, some bad, (just like anything) but I think we can turn it into a PB'ing treatise. Right now, unfortunately, I have work to do - but I'll be back to start pouring info in. First I gotta get that work done and then organise my thoughts - which could take awhile, ha ha. 07:09, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC) I'm not accounted for here; on Wikipedia I'm user Esseye

hi i don't know who started this book but i just added a few things hope you don't mind.

yeah, good work you should change the namespaces

not wikibooks.org/wiki/food

wikibooks.org/wiki/outdoor_survival_food

Should the whole book be in the form of disconnected statements and ideas? I think having things in point form, while good for teaching, may not be the best format for a book.
 * In a wikibook you might have both: Have a quick checklist, and a more elaborate explanatory section. Go ahead and fill the sections! --Andreas 11:41, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Completeness?
I think the completeness statements on this are very exaggerated. There is a hell of a lot more information to be put into sections with even 3/4 of a marking. For example techniques to find water in different environments. Bandraoi 13:57, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Area of coverage
Hi. I'm just passing through, but since you're just starting out, I'd like to suggest making an effort to talk about survival in a variety of different environments, or being explicit that you're only talking about a few. There are a lot of places where your first priority would be to keep cool, not to keep warm. <IP_ADDRESS> 04:40, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

Mergers
I was looking around at all the different books on Outdoor/Wilderness Survival and thought that they should all be combined together into one big book. This would provide easier access to the information with less hassle. As I find more rouge article I will either merge them or if they are more then a stub will put up a merge suggestion. I am new to WikiBooks and if any one has any feedback for me it would be appriciated. Mason L. 13:50, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree. Guide to Wilderness Survival is very small and has not had any real edits for over a year. Redfalcon, the user who created it hasn't done any edits on Wikibooks since 2005. Transwiki:How to light a fire is an orphaned page, and this book could probably give it a good home. However, First Aid/Wilderness First Aid Probably doesn't need to be merged, it goes well with the wikibook it's in, and this wikibook already has a big page on First Aid. But for Guide to Wilderness Survival, I say: just start merging it. - Teaandcrumpets 20:42, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Actually, it looks to me like the only thing we need from Guide to Wilderness Survival is the water page. The rest of the pages have little or no information. In fact, I would consider that book for deletion, as the original author seems to have no interest in it. - Teaandcrumpets 21:11, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Replacement/revamping of entire book
I think this whole book should be replaced or merged with US Army Field Manual 21-76. The Field Manual is in the public domain, is already complete, and is much more comprehensive than whatever is here already. Siddharth Patil (talk) 20:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Merge with When It Hits the Fan
The content of this stub of a project will be at home there, and reduce duplication of content. Since this book has been without edits for a long time it would benefit from the activity on the new location. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 18:41, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

 * On 28 October 2011 Thenub314 removed the merge tag with the comment "different sort of scope" and on the target project only to as "disagree with merger". I have contacted the Wikibookian directly and requested participation in this discussion.

 * In regards to the argument of "different sort of scope" of the projects I agree that the scope implied on the Outdoor Survival project title is not the same, but complementary to the objective of "When It Hits the Fan". It also doesn't address the problem of Outdoor Survival being an abandoned stub that is replicating other existing projects, in any case I will extend the timing to execute the merge in case this is pursued or any other point is raised. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 02:58, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

(copying from my discussion page) Outdoor survival is a strictly more general subject then the subject of "When it hits the fan", and so their scope and audience is rather different. It makes sense to study outdoor survival if you intend to spend lots time in the woods (say hiking the whole Appalachian trail) but your not particularly concerned about difficult survival situations. As I understand when it hit the fan it discusses (local) apocalyptic situations which one intends to survive. I would agree that understanding that some understanding of surviving outdoors may help in some of these situations, and not in others. To give an example of potentially different audiences, boy scouts are more likely to be interested in outdoor survival to meet the requirements of a badge, but be less interested in When it hits the fan. If we decided to merge this because it is not being developed further, may I suggest Backpack Camping and Woodland Survival might be a more natural fit. Thenub314 (talk) 23:30, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Is there any objection still pending ? The content merge will not be destructive, if anyone later wants to pursue the specific subject they can. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 23:00, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Cookbook:Oregano

Oregano is a herb that is found in both Mediterranean and Mexican cuisine. The leaves are used either fresh or dried, but the taste is stronger in the dried herb. The Mediterranean variety is mild in flavor, whereas its Mexican counterpart has a more earthly taste. It can be used with anything that has tomato and in salads, and is frequently used in pizza toppings and guacamole.

Oregano is very similar to marjoram, another herb from the same family, and is sometimes called wild marjoram or pot marjoram. Oregano is stronger in flavor than marjoram, and marjoram is sweeter.

Oregano is often used in combination with basil in Mediterranean cuisine.

Portal:Latin America/Featured article/Day 12

The Panama Canal (Canal de Panamá) is a major ship canal that traverses the isthmus of Panama in Central America, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The construction of the canal was one of the largest and most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken. It has had an enormous impact on shipping, as ships no longer have to travel the long and treacherous route via the Drake Passage and Cape Horn at the southernmost tip of South America. A ship sailing from New York to San Francisco via the canal travels 9,500 kilometres (6,000 mi), well under half the distance of the previous 22,500 kilometre (14,000 mi) route around Cape Horn.

Although the concept of a canal in Panama dates back to the early 16th century, the first attempt to construct a canal began in 1880 under French leadership. After this attempt collapsed, the work was finally completed by the United States, and the canal opened in 1914. The building of the 77 kilometre (48 mi) canal was plagued by problems, including disease (particularly malaria and yellow fever) and massive landslides. As many as 27,500 workers are estimated to have died during construction of the canal.

Since opening, the canal has been enormously successful, and continues to be a key conduit for international shipping. Each year the canal accommodates the passage of more than 14,000 ships, carrying more than 203 million tonnes of cargo. By 2002 about 800,000 ships had passed through the canal.

Spookey Ruben

Spookey Ruben (born Alan F. Deil) is a Canadian musician, producer, songwriter, composer, and filmmaker. Best known for his song and music video "These Days Are Old", Spookey's songwriting and eccentric production techniques often contrast high and low vocals, analogue keyboards, found sounds, sampled beats and stringed instruments such as electric and Spanish guitar. Spookey has released seven full-length solo albums.

Early life
Due to his father's work as an ESA aerospace engineer, Spookey grew up in Germany, the Netherlands, and Washington, D.C.  In his childhood, Spookey's parents insisted he take up an instrument and so he chose classical guitar. At age 13 he got his hands on his first electric guitar and spent the remainder of his teenage years playing in an array of hardcore and metal bands, most notably progressive thrash metal band Transilience. It was at this time that he received his nickname "Spooky", a result of high-school friends teasing him for his long hair and "Satanic T-shirts". At age 19, he moved to Toronto, Ontario, and enrolled in film school at York University. It was at this time that Ruben accumulated musical ideas via four-track recorder.

Recording artist
Spookey's home recording experiments led to the making of his solo debut album Modes of Transportation Vol. 1 (TVT Records) which was partially engineered and mixed by Gadi Foltys, Don Kerr, Brad Nelson and Mark Plati (best known for his work with David Bowie). International critical acclaim followed, hailing the album as the "Pet Sounds of the 90s" and "lo-fi pop masterpiece". In 1996, Ruben contributed to the AIDS benefit album Offbeat: A Red Hot Soundtrip produced by the Red Hot Organization. Disputes with TVT resulted in his leaving the label and years of apparent silence. Eventually, in 2002, Ruben simultaneously released two separate CDs entitled Bed and Breakfast (Hi-Hat/Zomba) that were later repackaged as a double album. Alone at the Zoo, co-produced by John McEntire of Tortoise/The Sea and Cake was released as a special limited compilation of demos in 2003. On 16 June 2009, his full-length album, Mechanical Royalty, was released in Canada on Hi-Hat/Sonic Unyon. He has since released a new EP, Shackleton (2010), Welsh Rarebits (2012), and Modes III (2016). and is playing live dates in North America and Europe.

Filmmaker
In 2008, Spookey Ruben began filming a series of short films (Spookey Ruben's Dizzy Playground) for Exclaim! and AUX Television. There have been seven episodes, which include musicians from various bands.

Talk:Pandyan kingdom/Pandyas rewrite

The Pandyan kingdom was an ancient Tamil state in South India of unknown antiquity. Pandyas were one of the three ancient Tamil kingoms (Chola and Chera being the other two) who ruled the Tamil country from pre-historic times until end of the 15th century. They ruled initially from Korkai, a sea port on the southern most tip of the Indian penisula, and in later times moved to Madurai. Pandyas are mentioned in Sangam Literature (c. 100 - 200 C.E.) as well as by Greek and Roman sources during this period.

The early Pandyan dynasty of the Sangam literature went into obscurity during the invation of the Kalabhras. The dynasty revived under Kadungon in the early 7th century C.E., pushed the Kalabhras out of the Tamil country and ruled from Madurai. They again went into decline with the rise of the Cholas in the 9th century C.E. and were in constant conflict with them. Pandyas allied themselves with the Sinhalese and the Kerals in harrassing the Chola empire until they found an opportunity for reviving their fortunes during the late 13th century.

Pandyas entered their golden age under Jatavarman Sundara Pandya (c. 1251) who expanded their empire in to Telugu country and invaded Sri Lanka to conquer the northern half of the island. They also had extensive trade links with the Southeast Asian maritime empires of Srivijaya and their successors. During their history Pandyas were repeatedly in conflict with the Pallavas, Cholas, Hoysalas and finally the Muslim invaders from the Delhi Sultanate. The Pandyan Kingdom finally became extinct after the establishment of the Madurai Sultanate in the 16th century C.E.

The Pandyas excelled in both trade and literature. They controlled the pearl fisheries along the south Indian coast, between Sri Lanka and India, which produced one of the finest pearls known in the ancient world. Tradition holds that the legendary Sangams were held in Madurai under their patronage. Some of the Sangam poets were Pandya kings.

Sangam Literature
Various Pandya kings find mention in a number of poems in the Sangam Literature. Among them Nedunjeliyan, 'the victor of Talaiyalanganam', yet another Nedunjeliyan 'the conqueror of the Aryan army' and Mudukudimi Peruvaludi 'of several sacrifices' deserve special mention. Besides several short poems found in the Akananuru and the Purananuru collections, there are two major works - Mathuraikkanci and the Nedunalvadai (in the collection of Pattupattu) give a glimpse into the society and commercial activities in the Pandyan kingdom during the Sangam age.

It is difficult to estimate the exact date of these Sangam age Pandyas. The period covered by the extant literature of the Sangam is unfortunately not easy to determine with any measure of certainty. Except the longer epics Cilappatikaram and Manimekalai, which by common consent belong to the age later than the Sangam age, the poems have reached us in the forms of systematic anthologies. Each individual poem has generally attached to it a colophon on the authorship and subject matter of the poem, the name of the king or chieftain to whom the poem relates and the occasion which called forth the eulogy are also found.

It is from these colophons and rarely from the texts of the poems themselves, that we gather the names of many kings and chieftains and the poets and poetesses patronised by them. The task of reducing these names to an ordered scheme in which the different generations of contemporaries can be marked off one another has not been easy. To add to the confusions, some historians have even denounced these colophons as later additions and untrustworthy as historical documents.

Any attempt at extracting a systematic chronology and data from these poems should be aware of the casual nature of these poems and the wide difference between the purposes of the anthologist who collected these poems and the historian’s attempts are arriving at a continuous history.

Epigraphy
The earliest Pandya to be found in epigraph, is Nedunjeliyan figuring in the Minakshipuram record assigned to c. second to the first century B.C.E. The record documents a gift of rock-cut beds, to a Jain ascetic. Punch marked coins in the Pandya country dating from around the same time have also been found.

Pandyas are also mentioned in the Pillars of Ashoka (inscribed 273 - 232 B.C.E.). Asoka in his inscriptions refers to the peoples of south India as the Cholas, Cheras, Pandyas and Satiyaputras. These kingdoms, although not part of the Mauryan Empire, were in friendly terms with Asoka.

Foreign Sources
The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea (c. 60 - 100 C.E.) describes the riches of a 'Pandian Kingdom':
 * ...Nelcynda is distant from Muziris by river and sea about five hundred stadia, and is of another Kingdom, the Pandian. This place also is situated on a river, about one hundred and twenty stadia from the sea....

Chinese biographer Yu Huan in his text Weilue mentions a The Kingdom of Panyue - '...The kingdom of Panyue is also called Hanyuewang. It is several thousand li to the southeast of Tianzhu (Northern India)...The inhabitants are small; they are the same height as the Chinese...'

The Roman emperor Julian received an embassy from a Pandya about 361 C.E. A Roman trading centre was located on the Pandyan coast (Alagankulam - at the mouth of the Vaigai river, southeast of Madurai).

Pandyas also had trade contacts with Ptolemaic Egypt and, through Egypt, with Rome by the first century C.E., and with China by the 3rd century C.E. The 1st century C.E. Greek historian Nicolaus of Damascus met, at Damascus, the ambassador sent by an Indian King "named Pandion or, according to others, Porus" to Caesar Augustus around 13 C.E.

First Empire
After the close of the Sangam age, the first Pandyan empire was established by Kadungon in the 6th century C.E. defeating the Kalabhras. The following is a chronological list of the Pandya emperors is based on an inscription found on the Vaigai riverbeds.

After the defeat of the Kalabhras, the Pandya kingdom grew from strength to strength and witnessed a steady increase in its power and territory. With the Cholas in obscurity, the Tamil country was divided between the Pallavas and the Pandyas, the river Kaveri being the frontier between them.
 * Kadungon 560 - 590 C.E.
 * Maravarman Avani Culamani 590 - 620 C.E.
 * Cendan 620 - 650 C.E.
 * Arikesari Parankusa Maravarman 650 - 700 C.E.
 * Koccadaiyan Ranadhiran 700 - 730 C.E.
 * Maravarman Rajasimha 730 - 765 C.E.
 * Parantaka Nedunjadaiyan 768 - 815 C.E.
 * Srimara Srivallabha 815 - 862 C.E.
 * Varaguna II 862 - 885 C.E.
 * Parantaka Viranarayana 862 - 905 C.E.
 * Rajasimha II 905 - 920 C.E.

After Vijayalaya Chola conquered Thanjavur defeating the Muttarayar chieftains in c. 850 C.E. the Pndyas went into a period of decline. They were constantly harrassing their Chola overlords occupying their territories. Parantaka Chola I invaded the Pandya territories and defeated Rajasinha II. However Pandyas reversed this defeat to gain back most of their lost territories.

Under the Cholas
The Chola domination of the Tamil country began in earnest during the reign of Parantaka Chola II. Chola armies led by Aditya Karikala, son of Parantaka Chola II defeated Vira Pandya in battle. The Pandyas were assisted by the Sinhalese forces of Mahinda IVPandyas were driven out of their territories and had to seek refuge in the island of Sri Lanka. This was the start of the long exile of the Pandyas. They were replaced by a series of Chola viceroys with the title Chola Pandyas who ruled from Madurai from c. 1020 C.E.

The following list gives the names of the Pandya kings who were active during the 10th and the first half of 11th century C.E. It is difficult to give their date of accession and duration of their rule. Nevertheless their presence in the southern country require recognition.

 * Sundara Pandya I
 * Vira Pandya I
 * Vira Pandya II
 * Amarabhujanga Tivrakopa
 * Jatavarman Sundara Chola Pandya
 * Maravarman Vikrama Chola Pandya
 * Maravarman Parakrama Chola Pandya
 * Jatavarman Chola Pandya
 * Srivallabha Manakulachala (1101 - 1124 C.E.)
 * Maaravaramban Seervallaban (1132 - 1161)
 * Parakrama Pandiyan (1161 - 1162C.E.)
 * Jadavarman Srivallaban
 * Jadavarman Kulasekara Devan (1190 - 1221 C.E.)

Pandya Revival
The 13th century is the greatest period in the history of the Pandyan Empire. Their power reached its zenith under Jatavarman Sundara Pandya in the middle of the 13th century. The foundation for such a great empire was laid by Maravarman Sundara Pandya early in the 13th century C.E.

 * Maravarman Sundara Pandya (1216 - 1241 C.E.)
 * Sundaravaramban Kulasekaran II (1238 - 1240 C.E.)
 * Maaravaramban Sundara Pandiyan II (1241 - 1251 C.E.)
 * Jadavarman Sundara Pandya (1251 - 1283 C.E.)
 * Maaravaramban Kulasekara Pandyan I (1268 - 1311 C.E.)
 * Sundara Pandyan IV (1309 - 1327 C.E.)
 * Vira Pandyan IV (1309 - 1342 C.E.)

End of Pandyas
After being overshadowed by the Pallavas and Cholas for centuries, Pandyan glory was briefly revived by the much celebrated Jatavarman Sundara Pandyan in 1251 and the Pandya power extended from the Telugu countries on banks of the Godavari river to the northern half of Sri Lanka. On the death of Maaravaramban Kulasekara Pandyan I in 1308 C.E. a conflict stemming from succession disputes arose amongst his sons. Sundara Pandya and Vira Pandya fought each other for the throne. Soon Madurai fell into the hands of the invading armies of the Delhi Sultanate. Pandyas and their descendants where confined to a small region around Thirunelveli for a few more years and after the 17th century C.E. we hear no more of them.

NAMES MISSED
sir, this page is okay, but Sangam king names have been put aside, and corresponding map also needed. You say it is controversial, but kindly look in all the kingslist of other dynasties, even in the Wikipedia pages, eg, early Pallavas, Satavahanas early list, Sisunaga and Nandas list, in all these only names are known that too from their indigenous literatures only, neither have inscriptions and coins es proof. This even goes to Chinese and Sumerian lists, all from copied down pieces of literatures only. What I say is when we have the names why dont we use them in the list, or else if you want arch evidence and not rely on literat,

kindly delete the lists of Sisunaga, Sumerian, and all others in Wikipedia pages.

Anyway I think the list I gave was justifiable from at least 500 B.C.E. If from Puram and other Sangam works one cannot understand the genealogy (it's there so open, only people who can read, write Tamil and understand Old Tamil can derive the list ) that's not the fault of Sangam authors either. And much earlier kings are known from Nakkeerar's Iraiyanaar agapporul which also gives duration, number of authjors, poets, kings,presiding poets of each Sangam.

In your new work, after Caenthan some four middle Pandyan names are missing. kindly see my middle Pandya list. Picture of Madurai temple can be included, I think. Thankyou. Senthilkumaras 08:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Electronics/Photocopier

The Photocopier
One example of the practical use of static electricity is a photocopier. A photocopier is a fairly complicated piece of equipment, but the basic principle of how it works is fairly simple. The best way to understand what is going on is to consider it as a stage by stage process.

Stage one
Positive charge is sprayed onto a plate from a high voltage power supply. The plate is connected to the earth but the charge does not have quite enough energy to flow away. (The plate is not a good conductor of electricity)

Stage two
Paper is placed over the plate and a light shone onto the paper. Where the paper is white the light is reflected onto the plate, where the paper is dark a shadow falls onto the plate. The light falling on the plate gives it just the extra energy needed to allow the charge to escape to earth. The plate becomes neutral where the paper was white but keeps its charge where the paper is black. The plate is now a copy of the paper with charges taking the place of ink.

Stage three
Toner particles are spayed through a negatively charged nozzle onto the plate. As the toner passes through the nozzle it picks up the charge so that each particle of toner becomes negatively charged. The now charged toner is attracted to the areas of positive charge because unlike charges attract. More light then allows the positive charge to escape (however, the negative charge on the toner remains).

Stage four
A piece of paper is given a very strong positive charge, and then placed in contact with the plate. The paper attracts the toner. The paper is then removed from the plate and passed through a heating unit. The heat melts the toner and bonds it to the paper.

In a real photocopier, there is no plate, just a large drum. As the drum rotates its surface goes through stages one to four. At the end of the sequence a scraper removes any toner left on the drum and the whole process is repeated with a new image. A good photocopier can process a page in less than a second.

Questions on Photocopiers
'Q1)'If the black areas of the image leave a positive charge on the plate what charge do the white areas of the image leave? (Be very careful, the answer may not be what you think!)

Q2) How does the light shining onto the charged plate allow it to lose its charge ?

Q3) Why is the toner given a negative charge ?

Q4) Why does the paper attract the toner ?

Spray painting car parts
When paint is sprayed from a paint gun, the painter normally needs to use a fair amount of skill to ensure the paint goes on evenly. By connecting the spray nozzle to a negative electrode, it is possible to charge each droplet of paint. If the car part is then given the opposite charge, the paint droplets will be attracted to the car body part. This has several advantages.
 * Less mess- The paint goes to the body part and not to the electrically neutral floor.
 * Less wastage - All the paint ends up on the body part, very little is wasted.
 * Less skill needed - The paint wraps around the part, because the charges all over the part attract the paint. The paint even ends up on the back!

Questions
Q5) If the paint droplets are given a positive charge, what charge should the car part be given?

Q6) Why does less paint fall on the floor?
