Jean Helen Thompson

Jean Helen Thompson (2 December 1926 – 28 December 1992) was a British statistician and demographer who became chief statistician in the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys.

Thompson earned a degree in statistics at University College London, and began working for the Government Statistical Service in 1950. After moving through several other bureaus, she came to the General Register Office, the predecessor organisation to the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys, as its chief statistician in 1967. She also represented the UK on the United Nations Commission on Population and Development. She retired in 1986.

At the General Register Office, Thompson's main statistical concerns involved birth rates and immigration. However, she failed to foresee the end of the baby boom in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In the late 1970s, when Labour politician Richard Crossman's diaries were published posthumously, she was forced to sue the publisher for libel, for including claims that she was a member of a "Fascist nest" who had falsified statistics about ethnic minorities in Britain. The publishers could present no evidence that this was so, and were forced to apologise in court.

Thompson also served a term as president of the British Society for Population Studies. She was awarded the CBE on her retirement, "in recognition of her contributions both to the public service and to population studies".

Hang Li Poh's Well

The Hang Li Poh's Well (Perigi Hang Li Poh), also known as King's Well, is a historical water well in Melaka City, Melaka, Malaysia. It is the oldest water well in Malaysia.

History
The well was built in 1459 by the followers of Hang Li Poh as the main water source in the town. After conquering Malacca in 1511, the Portuguese secured the well and used it as their main water source supply. After conquering Malacca in 1677, the Dutch surrounded the well with solid brick walls to protect the well. However, during the British period, they neglected the well and let it fall into disrepair.

Function
Nowadays the water from the well is not that clean. It has also become a wishing well for visitors.

Set Theory

Written by volunteers and editors at Wikibooks, A Wikimedia Foundation Project

Set Theory is the study of sets. Essentially, a set is a collection of mathematical objects. Set Theory forms the foundation of all of mathematics.

In Naive Set Theory, there is an axiom which is known as the unrestricted comprehension schema axiom. It states that there exists a set $$x$$ such that a formula in first-order logic $$\phi(y)$$ holds for all elements $$y$$ in $$x$$, i.e., $$x=\{y\,|\,\phi(y)\}$$.

In 1901, Bertrand Russel found this to be inconsistent. This inconsistency is now known as Russel's Paradox. Russel claimed that if it were consistent, then $$R=\{x\,|\,x \notin x\}$$ is a set. Which is contradictory since $$R \in R$$ if and only if $$R \notin R$$. Thus, this theory was found to be inconsistent. (Fun fact: apparently Zermelo discovered this inconsistency in 1899, but did not publish .)

This motivated Zermelo to Axiomatize Set Theory. And motivates why we, too, should study this.

Willie Dowall

William Dowall (30 April 1907 – 1972) was a Scottish footballer who played in several positions, though mainly centre forward or right back. He made over 100 Scottish Football League appearances for Motherwell during the early 1930s, the most successful period in their history in which they won the league title in 1931–32 and finished in the top three places in the two years either side of that triumph. Motherwell also reached two Scottish Cup finals (1931 and 1933, losing both) but Dowall did not play in either, with injuries interrupting his progress to an extent, as well as his ability to play in several roles which meant he was moved around to accommodate the team's needs but never became fully established in one position.

After a loan spell with St Mirren, Dowall left Scottish football in 1935 and joined Bury, later moving to Lincoln City. He then spent a season in France with Red Star Paris and one in Northern Ireland with Ballymena United, switching back to England with Notts County shortly before the outbreak of World War II.

Anna Cox Brinton

Anna Shipley Cox Brinton (October 19, 1887 – October 28, 1969) was an American classics scholar, college administrator, writer, and Quaker leader, active with the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC).

She has credited with being one of those who "reinvented Quakerism" for the 20th century.

Early life
Anna Shipley Cox was born in San Jose, California, the daughter of Charles Ellwood Cox and Lydia S. Bean Cox, and the granddaughter of Quaker leaders Joel and Hannah Bean. Her father was mathematics professor at Stanford University. She attended Westtown School in Philadelphia, and completed both undergraduate work and doctoral studies at Stanford University, in 1909 and in 1917, respectively. Her sister was Catharine Cox Miles, a psychologist based at Stanford University.

Academic work
Brinton was a professor of archaeology and art history, on the faculty at Mills College. She was convener of the college's School of Fine Arts, and dean of the Mills College faculty. She also taught Latin and Greek and was head of the classics department at Earlham College in Indiana, from 1921 to 1928. Her dissertation project, a translation and commentary titled Maphaeus Vegius and his Thirteenth Book of the Aeneid, was published by Stanford University Press in 1930, and reissued in 2002.

Brinton prepared A Pre-Raphaelite Aeneid, which was privately published in 1934 by art collector Estelle Doheny (wife of Edward L. Doheny). She was a delegate to the Pan-Pacific Women's Conference in Hawaii in 1930. In 1931 and 1932, she held a Woodbrooke Fellowship, for advanced studies at Selly Oak College in England. She was a speaker at the Institute of World Affairs meeting in Riverside, California, in 1934.

American Friends Service Committee
Brinton was active with the AFSC for decades, serving on the organization's board from 1938 to 1965. After World War I, she went to Silesia with the organization's child feeding program. In 1931, she and her husband organized the Pacific Yearly Meeting, a west coast organization of Friends. In 1936, the Brintons were named co-directors of the Pendle Hill Quaker Center for Study and Contemplation, near Philadelphia. She was the AFSC's Commissioner for Asia from 1948. In 1952, the Brintons went to Japan with the AFSC, to direct Quaker postwar relief work in Tokyo.

In the 1960s, she was president of the Friends Historical Association. She edited a text by William Penn (No Cross, No Crown, 1945), an essay collection, Then & Now: Quaker Essays, Historical and Contemporary (1960) and a reference work, Quaker Profiles: Pictorial & Biographical 1750-1850 (1964), and wrote a biography, The Wit and Wisdom of William Bacon Evans (1964), and a history, Toward Undiscovered Ends: Friends and Russia for 300 Years (1951).

Personal life
Anna Cox married writer Howard Haines Brinton in 1921. They had four children together. Lydia, the eldest, Catharine, an elementary school teacher, Joan, the youngest, and their son Edward Brinton (1924-2010) became a noted oceanographer. She died from a stroke on October 28, 1969, aged 82 years, in Wallingford, Pennsylvania.

Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 14, 2012

The Bal des Ardents was a masquerade ball held on 28 January 1393 at which Charles VI of France performed in a dance with five members of the French nobility. Four of the dancers were killed in a fire caused by a torch brought in by a spectator, Charles' brother Louis, Duke of Orléans—Charles and another of the dancers survived. The ball was one of a number of events intended to entertain the young king, who the previous summer had suffered the first in a series of lifelong attacks of insanity. The event undermined confidence in Charles' capacity to rule; Parisians considered it proof of courtly decadence and threatened to rebel against the more powerful members of the nobility. The public's outrage forced the king and his brother Orléans—whom at least one contemporary chronicler accused of attempted regicide and sorcery—into offering penance for the event. Charles' wife Queen Isabeau held the ball to honor the remarriage of a lady-in-waiting; scholars believe it may have been a traditional charivari, with the dancers disguised as wild men. The myth of wild men, often associated with demonology, was common in medieval Europe and documented in revels of Tudor England. (more...)

Question about Wikipedia: articles that are rarely edited
Not sure where to post this; so I will post here. Is there some way to find out which Wikipedia article (or articles) have remained "stable" the longest, without any edits? For example: the article Name of article here was edited on April 17, 2000, ... and the next edit was on September 4, 2019 ... i.e., 19 intervening years with no edits. Something like that. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 04:20, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * See Special:AncientPages. That only gives you the pages which were last edited a long time ago. It doesn't cover pages which were not edited for a long time, but have since been edited.- gadfium 05:41, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Database reports/Forgotten articles might also be of interest to you.- gadfium 05:43, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * One can do a database query to find the articles with the least recent edits, but that is almost meaningless, because there are constantly robotic mass editing sprees that make inconsequential changes to 10000's of articles (renaming a category mentioned in the article is an example). It is not trivial to distinguish those edits from meaningful edits or even edits made by humans.  So it is hard to say which articles were least recently edited by a human.   The wiki software even throws away some metadata that could help tell, 30 days after the edit.  2602:24A:DE47:BB20:50DE:F402:42A6:A17D (talk) 00:55, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Gem family, solicitors, of Birmingham, England
This source:

has a "T .Gem" of Birmingham as a solicitor in the 1812 trial of William Booth (forger). Is that the father, or anther relative, of Harry Gem, a Birmingham solicitor born in 1819? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:41, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

 * "Harry’s father William Gem had twin sisters: Helen Maria and Mary born in 1795" The Harry Gem Project - Harry’s Aunt Helen.
 * However, Aston - Pearl Button Makers by John Houghton mentions "April 4, 1791, Thomas Gem, the solicitor to the committee for the protection of the button trade". So maybe an uncle or cousin? Alansplodge (talk) 13:31, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I guessed that "T" was Thomas, my next guess would have been Tobias but that seemed much less likely. If the younger Gem had had a close relative called Thomas, it would explain why he was known as Harry and not Tommy. Alansplodge (talk) 16:49, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * [On further thought] Or maybe a grandfather? We need some input from a genealogist... Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:09, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

I am now told, off-wiki:

"Harry (Tennis) Gem’s father William was a lawyer. His father, Harry’s grandfather, was Thomas Gem, christened in 1767 and married in 1791 to Maria Hobson. He is recorded as living at Wood End House."

Mugshot
Did New York police took mugshot in 1870s? If they did where can I find them? TIA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Horus1927 (talk • contribs) 15:18, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Our relevant article is mug shot. Regarding New York, the linked article in the New York Times states,

"Some experts say that the first photographs used for law enforcement were probably taken of prisoners in Belgium in 1843 and 1844, possibly so that the prisoners could be identified if they committed other crimes after being released. By 1857 the New York police had adopted the practice, opening a gallery so that the public could come in to see the daguerreotypes of what Mr. Michaelson calls “hookers, stooges, grifters and goons.”"
 * See the article in question here, it may give you some useful leads. Eliyohub (talk) 16:34, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * NYC Municipal Archives Collections - Browse NYPD & Criminal Prosecution but seems to be from 1915 onwards. Alansplodge (talk) 19:44, 11 August 2020 (UTC)-

How do you find old mugshots? Visit your state's department of corrections website. Every state in the U.S. should have a website, and you can use the inmate locator to find information about the prisoner. Some states will also publish mugshots. Type “your state” and “department of corrections” into your favorite web browser.Mmmarkkk (talk) 01:42, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Anyone interested in mugshots over the past 150 years should read Mug Shots: An Archive of the Famous, Infamous, and Most Wanted, a 2009 picture book by Raynal Pellicer. The book does not cover the photos of the NYPD of the 1870s but includes many photos of American criminals and celebrities from the late 19th century through the 20th century. Plus many British and European subjects. The author admits he selected what he considered to be the most interesting of potentially millions of photos he could have chosen. I bought this book when working on a featured article, Canadian drug charges and trial of Jimi Hendrix, and the book features photos of Hendrix and Jim Morrison on the cover. It is far more than a celebrity mugshot book. It covers Mafia figures, mass murderers, terrorists, anarchist bombers, assassins, dictators and civil rights leaders. I recommend it.

Stark's expedition to measure seawater gold
The story of Fritz Haber's attempt to collect gold from seawater is well known. There were other little known groups as well. From Walter Stark's thesis paper I learned that his supervisor Prof. Emil Baur was active on the topic for 30 years ! During WW2 Stark was doctoral student of ETH-Zurich and went on a expedition to measure seawater gold. I am fascinated that 22 year old Stark was traveling around in ships to measure seawater gold. Such expeditions must have been costly and some company must have sponsored it. Does anyone know about this expedition? Or any other Swiss projects to collect gold from seawater?

Executive orders in practice - limited to those binding by law?
My question is about executive orders. Note that this question is not limited to the current POTUS (Trump). I'm also curious about how Presidents past made use of executive orders.

Now: Executive orders have the binding force of law in two circumstances:
 * 1) When the order invokes a power directly given to the President by the constitution (e.g. the President's powers as commander-in-chief of the military, or his powers to commute or pardon Federal criminals). OR
 * 2) When the order invokes a discretion granted to the President in legislation. (delegated legislation)

Okay. So my question is this: in practice, do Presidents limit the issuing of executive orders to these two categories? Or, do they ever issue executive orders which fall outside these two areas (and thus do not have the binding power of law)?

If the answer is the latter, what is the point in making an order that the person or agency to whom it is directed has no duty to obey? Is it simply a case of the President's wishes having influence, even if legally, they are not binding?

A "secondary" question, I suppose, is, have Presidents varied in the frequency of their use of these sorts of executive orders (in areas where they do not have binding power)? Eliyohub (talk) 15:40, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

 * The rule of thumb, in both parties, is “it is far easier to ask forgiveness, than to ask permission.” Issue the order; see how much push-back arises. Trust your own cabinet-secretary-in-charge of the issue to loyally strive to Do The Boss’ Bidding. Rinse, and repeat. DOR (HK) (talk) 01:08, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

 * It's exceptionally rare, and perhaps unheard of, for a President to issue an executive order that directly and deliberately contravenes a statute or Supreme Court ruling. Occasionally, there will be executive orders that implement some policy through prosecutorial discretion (such as the DACA system) despite the outcome contravening the statute it purports to administrate. More often, an "illegal" or "unconstitutional" executive action is one that reasonable minds could debate, but some politician gives interviews and claims it's an affront to democracy or violates the President's oath to administrate the laws. Even those executive orders that are patently a reaction to a court ruling are themselves usually good faith efforts both to comply with the ruling and to achieve the executive's political goals. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:11, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I can't parse your opening sentence. For something to be "exceptionally rare", there must be at least one instance. But then you say it's "perhaps unheard of". So, has there been a case you can cite, or not? --  Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  16:43, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It's certainly at least exceptionally rare, and it may not have happened before. This is what I mean. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:11, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The executive orders of at least the two most recent presidents have been complained about by the opposition, and court cases have resulted. It's really a question of whatever the president can "get away with". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 10:59, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Meh. I don't look it as them trying to get away with anything. I look at it as trying to achieve political goals with what's available through creative lawyering when a legislative answer is unavailable. The systematic use of prosecutorial discretion to implement DACA, for instance, is rather genius, even if it's unquestionably contrary to the statute it's purportedly enforcing. For most people, whether those executive actions are legitimate more often turns on whether they support their political goals than an overriding belief in legislative supremacy (of course, there are exceptions). <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:32, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Either way, it's the same thing. Either they accomplish what they wanted to, or the courts (or even Congress!) can put the brakes on it. In the case of the two most recent guys, they acted because Congress wouldn't. And in some cases it worked, and in others it didn't. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 19:24, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Do we all go through a metamorphosis? I believe that we are constantly metamorphosing as individuals as well as a society. Our success as a culture is dependent on change. One might argue that change and metamorphosis are completely different ideas. I do not see them as such, but merely as different levels of the same thing. Change is defined by Wiktionary as "the process of becoming different." Metamorphosis is defined by The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition as "A marked change in appearance, character, condition, or function."

Şeytan Castle

Şeytan Castle (Şeytan Kalesi, ქაჯის ციხე) is a castle in the Çıldır district of the Ardahan Province in Turkey.

The castle is located 1.5 kilometers northeast of the village of Yıldırımtepe. The cliffs surrounding the castle were as important to its protection as its walls. The castle was used continuously from the Hellenistic era to the Ottoman period, and was renovated or modified by each of its occupiers. It hosts cisterns, a staircase that descends to the water and a chapel. The name of the castle, meaning "the Devil's castle", originates from the myth that an evil spirit or a devil was sighted in the area in the past, which still survives as a superstition among the area's inhabitants.

Ekvtime Takaishvili reported the existence of a prison in the castle. It is mentioned in the chronicles of Alp Arslan in 1064.

Derby Airport (Australia)

Derby Airport is located 5 NM southeast of Derby, Western Australia.

History

The site of Derby airport was first set aside for aviation uses in 1922. The airfield played a key role in the search for Charles Kingsford Smith's Southern Cross following a forced landing in the Kimberley region during 1929 in an incident that would become known as the "Coffee Royal Affair". Aviation pioneer Norman Brearley used aircraft of his West Australian Airways in the initial search effort flying outwards from Derby.

In 1938, it was proposed that Derby to be used as a base for flying boat services carried air mail from London to Australia via Egypt and Ceylon (Sri Lanka).

Gotham House

Gotham House is a Grade II* listed early 18th century Georgian merchant's townhouse on Phoenix Lane in the town of Tiverton in Devon, England. An ancient estate named "Gotham" also exists in the parish of Cadeleigh, near Tiverton, now represented by Gotham Farm. It was one of a number of buildings constructed in Tiverton following the disastrous Tiverton fire of 1731. The building was restored in 1966 and currently serves as the base for a firm of solicitors. The house and its forecourt walls and entrance gates became listed on 12 February 1952.

History
Gotham House was built in the early 18th century by clothing merchant and Mayor of Tiverton George Davey (1690–1746).

It was one of a number of buildings rebuilt in Tiverton following a fire of 1731, making it a rare example of an elaborate Georgian townhouse. The house remained in the Davey family for a few generations, passing to George Davey's son Roger after his death, and then to his brother George. It then became the property of George's daughter and son-in-law, Captain John and Bridget Hamilton. George In the 1880s, Major Poyntz, Chief Constable of Essex, resided at Gotham House. Since 1960, the building has served as offices of law firm Ashford's Solicitors. The house was restored in 1966 by architects Clement Toy and Raymond Erith. It has occasionally been opened to the public since then.

Exterior
Gotham House is a 3-storey Flemish bond red brick building, with a basement. It has a symmetrical 5-bay front with four brick columns reaching to the top of the first floor, two surrounding the entranceway and one at each end. These are topped with moulded caps and a projecting white cornice. Four columns extend from this cornice to the roof. The windows have slate stonework below and are topped with arches of rubbed brick in a lighter colour; there are fourteen windows at the front and fifteen at the back. The house has pilastered doorcases at both the front and rear. At the front, there is also a round-headed outer doorway. The house has a slate roof with an 'M' profile, with chimney stacks at either end constructed of brick with yellow chimney pots. There is cast-iron guttering.

Interior
The house has a double depth plan, being two rooms wide. The interior retains many 18th-century features, including a library containing books and manuscripts from the period and a mahogany staircase dating back to its original constructions. There is a marble mantelpiece, with Corinthian columns and a frieze with depictions of sphinxes and cherubs. Surviving additions from the 19th century include a pantry and a dumb waiter. Several historical items have been found in the basement, including documents signed by Oliver Cromwell.

What Is Biodiesel

Made from an increasingly diverse mix of resources such as recycled cooking oil, soybean oil and animal fats, biodiesel is a renewable, clean-burning diesel replacement that can be used in existing diesel engines without modification. It is the nation’s first domestically produced, commercially available advanced biofuel.

A Technical Definition Fuel-grade biodiesel must be produced to strict industry specifications in order to ensure proper performance. Biodiesel must meet specifications for legal diesel motor fuel (ASTM D975) and also the ASTM definition for biodiesel itself (ASTM D6751). Raw vegetable oil cannot meet these diesel fuel specifications and therefore is not considered biodiesel.

The technical definition of biodiesel is as follows:

Biodiesel, n - a fuel comprised of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats, designated B100, and meeting the requirements of ASTM D 6751.

Biodiesel Blend, n - a blend of biodiesel fuel meeting ASTM D 6751 with petroleum-based diesel fuel, designated BXX, where XX represents the volume percentage of biodiesel fuel in the blend.

Producing Biodiesel Biodiesel is made through a chemical process called transesterification whereby the glycerin is separated from the fat or vegetable oil. The process leaves behind two products – methyl esters and glycerin.

Methyl esters is the chemical name for biodiesel and glycerin is used in a variety of products, including soap.

Growth of An Industry Biodiesel’s early growth was careful and deliberate, with a focus on sustainability for the industry. Biodiesel works seamlessly with existing infrastructure and vehicles, and the industry has spent significant time documenting and showcasing the fuel’s abilities. Today, more than 78 percent of diesel vehicles coming off production lines are approved for up to B20 use.

Current Production Biodiesel production spans across the US and has grown to more than 125 plants with the capacity to produce 3 billion gallons. In 2018, the US biodiesel industry produced 2.6 billion gallons of biodiesel. Production isn’t only about gallons produced, but also about the economic benefits to the US. The biodiesel industry supports nearly 60,000 jobs and generates billions of dollars in GDP, household income and tax revenues.

Biodiesel Availability Biodiesel is available nationwide and blends over 4 percent are required to be labeled at the pump. Look for the Black and Blue biodiesel sticker when filling up. Biodiesel can be purchased through distributors or at retail locations.

Sustainability New land is not required for biodiesel production. Instead, this advanced biofuel uses readily available, diverse resources. And, that’s not all. Biodiesel has several environmental benefits when compared to petroleum-based diesel fuel:

Reduces lifecycle greenhouse gases by 86 percent Lowers particulate matter by 47 percent, reduces smog and makes our air healthier to breathe Reduces hydrocarbon emissions by 67 percent For every unit of fossil energy it takes to produce biodiesel, 3.5 units of renewable energy are returned, the best of any U.S. fuel

Castle Caulfield

Castle Caulfield is a large ruined house situated in Castlecaulfield, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.

The house was built for Sir Toby Caulfeild between 1611 and 1619. He was granted 1,000 acres at the start of the Plantation of Ulster. This land was previously owned by the O'Donnelly family, who were closely connected to the O'Neill clan in Dungannon. The O'Donnelly fort was a few miles west of the castle. There are substantial remains. The gatehouse was rebuilt at a later date, although one of the doorways may have been reused.

Castle Caulfield, today a ruin, is a State Care Historic Monument in the townland of Lisnamonaghan, in Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough Council area, at grid reference H7550 6260.

Hi! My name is Leslie. I am a tech user from early days, I'm a Technology Librarian in a public library in Wyoming. Not much to read here yet about what I've done in Wikipedia, but I am passionate about connecting people to resources of all kinds. My major in English, Sociology, and Linguistics plus my MLS degree and other post-grad studies in teaching helped to hone my love for language and research. I am also a web developer, and I love the 80's. I also dabble in geneaology, and I have a pretty solid addiction to yarn, knitting, crochet, yarn dyeing, and quilting. And poodles. And chocolate.

Once I figure out how to add other relevant non-text info to this page, it will be a lot less boring to look at. Coming soon.

Thanks for reading. Teddy.bear307 (talk) 20:04, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

ps. ''I always strive to strictly abide by Wikipedia's accepted practices on conflicts of interest, neutrality, and notability. I do, from time to time, insert links or create articles based on library resources. I will modify my editing behavior based on problems cited by other editors or if my editing conflicts with other Wikipedia guidelines. I ask that other editors do not hesitate to contact me, via my user talk page, if I appear to be going against this declaration.''

Persian/Lesson 4

In lessons 1, 2, and 3, you learned some greetings, the first twenty-nine letters of the Persian Alphabet, and how to spell and pronounce several words with those letters.

In this lesson, you will learn the final three letters (ﻭ ‹vâv›, ﻩ ‹he› and ى ‹ye›), diacritics, and the remaining rules for reading and writing Persian vowels. You will also learn about a Persian tradition called ‹haft sin›.

Dialogue: ‹esm-e šomâ ci e?›
Reza meets Shirin:
 * The dialogue below and those in subsequent lessons are shown in both Persian script and UniPers. Some of the Persian letters used below are explained later in this lesson, so read the UniPers transcription for now, then come back to read the Persian script version after completing this lesson.

 * }

Explanation
 * Shirin meets Reza.

Vocabulary

و ‹vâv›
The letter و does not connect with the following letter. It is pronounced in different ways, depending on the word: ‹v›, ‹u›, or ‹o›.

The word is shown on the right, demonstrating that و ‹vâv› is pronounced as the consonant ‹v› in some words.

The word is shown on the right, demonstrating that و ‹vâv› is pronounced as the long vowel ‹u› in some words.

The long vowel sound ‹u› may also occur at the beginning of a word, in which case it is spelled with initial او, as demonstrated on the right in.

Some Persian words that were originally pronounced with the long vowel sound ‹u› are pronounced today with the sound ‹o›, but their spelling has not changed. So و sometimes represents the sound ‹o› in Modern Persian:

ه ‹he›
The letter is often pronounced like ‹h›, just like the Persian letter. To distinguish between them, a Persian speaker may specify by saying ‹he-ye jimi›, in reference to the similar form shared with. Or, because of the traditional arrangements of letters in chronograms, they may be distinguished as for  and  for.

The connecting forms of ه ‹he› are shown on the right in a typical Persian style. There are several variations, though, so you may run across any of the following:

At the end of a word, often is not pronounced as ‹h›, but just indicates that the word ends in the sound ‹e›:

ی ‹ye›
The last Persian letter,, has a few different pronunciations: ‹y›, ‹i›, or ‹ey›. Its isolated and final forms vary significantly from its initial and medial forms: It has a tail and no dots in the isolated and final forms, but it has two dots and no tail in the initial and medial forms,.

In, ی as the first letter of the word is pronounced ‹y›.

As the examples and  show on the right, ی as the second letter of the word is pronounced as ‹i›.

In, ی as the last letter of the word is pronounced as ‹i›.

 * }

Ligatures
Certain combinations of letters are written in a combined form known as a ligature.

When is followed by, they combine to form the ligature , as shown on the right.

The lâm-alef ligature appears in the greeting.

In an ezafe construction after a word ending in ‹he›, the ی is sometimes written in a small form over the ه, i.e. as. It looks like a hamze, and is considered such by some, but others consider this a ligature of ه‌ی.

Diacritics
Like the accent mark over the e in café, Persian diacritics (symbols written above or below the letters) are not actual letters in the Persian alphabet.

Tashdid is a mark that looks like a small, curly w, placed above a consonant to double or strengthen it. It may be omitted, but is used in many situations for clarity.

The symbol on the right is called. It is never at the beginning of a word and has different pronunciations, depending on whether it is in a native Persian word or one borrowed from Arabic.

In Persian words, hamze may be written over silent final ‹he› ( هٔ ), as shown on the right, to represent the sound ‹ye› in a construction called ‹ezâfe› that will be explained in Lesson 6. The hamze for this purpose is usually left unwritten and is only added for extra clarity. Rarely, it is used in the same way with words ending in ی (that is, ئ ).

Historically, Persian words with the sounds ‹âi› or ‹ui› were written with a hamze (that is, with ائی or وئی ) to show that the vowel sounds were separate, but today such words are usually written with a doubled ی (that is, ‹âi› is written as ایی and ‹ui› as ویی ) instead. Similarly, words ending with ‹ei› were once written as هٔ, but today that ending is written as ه‌ای.

As shown on the right, ئـ is used in some foreign words, like (from French juin), to show a transition between vowels.

 In words taken from Arabic, like the ones on the right, hamze may appear anywhere after the first letter of a word to represent a glottal stop [ʔ], i.e. the same ‹’› sound that represents. Usually, though, أ is written without the hamze, e.g.,.

At the end of an Arabic word, ء is usually silent and written by itself, e.g..

Arabic loanwords ending with a final are sometimes still spelled that way, but the final hamze in such words is silent, so the hamze is usually omitted. For example, is now usually written.

Short vowel marks
In children's books and some other learning resources, short vowel are marked using the following symbols:
 * , called or , is used to represent short ‹a›. E.g.
 * , called or, is used to represent ‹e›.
 * , called or, is used to represent ‹o›.

The short vowel diacritics may be doubled at the end of an Arabic loanword to indicate that the vowel is followed by ‹-n›, known as (also, ). In Arabic, the signs indicate grammatical case endings: (nominative),  (accusative), and  (genitive).

A related mark is, also called. It is used to indicate the absence of a vowel and is written as a superscripted o:

Exercises

 * What are the names of and sounds represented by the following letters?

 * Non-connecting letters.
 * }
 * }
 * }
 * }

 * Read these words by breaking them down into their component parts.

 * }

 * Determine which of these words has unwritten vowels (vowels not included in the spelling of the word).

 * }

 * See if you can recognize these familiar words.

 * }

Review
In this lesson, you learned the final letters of the Persian Alphabet and some diacritics. You also learned about a Persian tradition called ‹haft sin›.

Congratulations! You now know how to read, write, and pronounce Persian words!

Overview

 * What? No Jam Pack : Symphony Orchestra?
 * You selected this page because you have GarageBand but you have no way to create the sounds of symphony orchestra. If this is a mistake, click on correct option at the top of this page.

 * You do not need Jam Pack:Symphony Orchestra (or, as an alternative, MOTU's Symphony Instrument) to create simple moods with GarageBand. But I strongly recommend you get Jam Pack:Symphony Orchestra

 * If you do not have the sounds of a symphony orchestra, you can still create moods by using cords. This reqires more musical knowledge.  (Using Jam Pack:Symphony Orchestra requires absolutely no musical background to create fantastic musical sounds that create mood for your motion pictures.)

 * Notation Protégé
 * If you are using VirtuosoWorks' Notion Protégé - demo version, select "Notion Protégé" at the top of the page.

 * style="width: 40%; background-color: Lavender; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px; height: 200px;" |

The Sound of Fear
Some cords automatically create the sound of fear. You must try all the possible combination of software instruments and chords to find a sound which creates fear in the mind of the audience.
 * Creating moods with chords

Just playing a chord is not enough. When you play a cord with GarageBand, the trill turns on and then turns off. This is not realistic. To make the trill seem realistic, you must adjust the volume of the sound so it fades in and fades out, etc.
 * Fade in and fade out

This entire process is fast. Super fast! Once you have found the correct musical instrument and the chords to create the mood you want and after you have adjusted the volume of the note, you are done. How easy can it get!!!
 * That's it!

Downhill skier with same name
There also was a downhill skier with the same name, i.e. Tatyana Lebedeva. During the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1996 practice she collided with a race official who walked across the slope unaware that there were still skiers coming.

Courtney Senior

Courtney Fitzroy Senior (born 30 June 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger.

He is a product of the Brentford Academy and made his professional debut on loan at League Two club Wycombe Wanderers in February 2015. He joined Colchester United in June 2016, where he made 145 appearances and scored 14 goals in five years with the club.

Brentford
Born in Croydon, Senior began his career in the Brentford Academy. He was a member of the Brentford under-15 team that triumphed in the Junior category of the 2012 Milk Cup and during the 2012–13 season he broke into the youth team and also made four appearances for the Development Squad. After signing a two-year scholarship deal in the summer of 2013, Senior topped the youth team appearance charts during the 2013–14 season with 25 appearances. After 25 youth and Development Squad appearances during the 2014–15 season, Senior signed a two-year Development Squad contract in June 2015.

Senior made first team debut for Brentford in a 4–0 League Cup defeat by Oxford United on 11 August 2015, starting the match and playing for 75-minutes before being substituted for Akaki Gogia. He was an unused substitute on two further occasions in August 2015, but failed to make an appearance. After scoring two goals in 15 Development Squad appearances during the 2015–16 season, Senior departed Brentford on 28 June 2016, having made just one first team appearance at Griffin Park.

Wycombe Wanderers loan
Senior signed for League Two side Wycombe Wanderers on a one-month youth loan on 9 January 2015. He made the first professional appearance of his career on 10 February 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Fred Onyedinma during a 2–0 home defeat by Plymouth Argyle. He returned to his parent club the following day.

Colchester United
On 28 June 2016, Senior joined League Two club Colchester United on a two-year contract. Before he could receive a call into the first team squad, Senior was ruled out of the 2016–17 season after undergoing knee surgery in August 2016. He returned to fitness in July 2017 and made his debut for the club as an 85th-minute substitute for Drey Wright in a league match versus Forest Green Rovers on 26 August 2017. Five minutes later, in injury time, Senior scored the first professional goal of his career with a tap-in. He broke into the squad on a full-time basis in January 2018 and signed a new two-year contract on 18 April. Senior finished the 2017–18 season with 19 appearances and four goals. 2018–19 proved to be Senior's breakthrough season and he made 47 appearances and scored six goals on his way to winning the club's Young Player of the Year award.

At the end of the 2020–21 season, Senior was released by Colchester United. He had scored 14 goals in 145 appearances for the U's in five years with the club.

Newport County
On 6 July 2021, Senior joined fellow League Two side Newport County on a one-year deal. On 28 July 2021 Senior sustained a pre-season cruciate ligament injury which ruled him out of action for six to nine months.

Air Kärnten

Air Kärnten was an Austrian start-up airline which never started operations.

History
The company was founded in November 2014 and was named after the Austrian state of Carinthia or Kärnten in German. It planned to launch two weekly scheduled flights from Klagenfurt to London-Southend in May 2015 alongside several charter services. It announced charter flights from Klagenfurt to Girona, Lisbon, Palma de Mallorca, Naples, Rhodes and Kos as well as from Graz Airport to Preveza.

However, on 31 March 2015, Air Kärnten cancelled their planned scheduled route from Klagenfurt to London Southend Airport ahead of its start due to low demand - it just received nine bookings since the announcement of the route. In February 2015, it has been reported that several Austrian travel agencies did not sell holiday packages requiring Air Kärnten flights until the airline gained a license for their planned flight operations. The airline announced the likely start of operations as a virtual airline as the licence might not be granted ahead of the start of operations.

Air Kärnten planned to lease a 50-seater Bombardier CRJ200 aircraft to operate their services. However, as of March 2015, a change of the desired aircraft type had been expressed. The airline additionally announced the lease of a Fokker 100 for some flights.

The first flights should have commenced by 30 April 2015, however the website of Air Kärnten had been shut down a few weeks prior to this date without further information and the flights have been removed from the schedule of Klagenfurt Airport, where Air Kärnten was supposed to be based. Therefore, the state of Air Kärnten remained unclear. As of February 2017, there were no new signs of activity.

Destinations
As of April 2015, Air Kärnten planned to operate the following route network:

 * Graz - Graz Airport seasonal
 * Klagenfurt - Klagenfurt Airport base
 * Klagenfurt - Klagenfurt Airport base

 * Kos - Kos Island International Airport seasonal
 * Preveza - Aktion National Airport seasonal
 * Rhodes - Rhodes International Airport seasonal

Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Intermediate Textures and Materials

Next page: Using an empty object for coordinates of the textures Previous page: Not yet created -- Back to Index

All materials in this tutorial are just applied to a simple sphere in order to easily show the effect the textures have and don't have to worry about how the textures are applied for the most part. For a more complex object you will likely have to worry about uv mapping which is not covered in this tutorial. For more information on uv mapping look at UV Map Basics To start select the sphere and bring up the materials panel (can be found by pressing F5 or the icon in the button bar). It should look like this

Hit Add New to add a new material that will be associated with that object. Once you are looking at the material you will notice under the Texture panel eight blank buttons. These are your texture slots. This means you can have 8 textures mapped to vary properties of your material. From Blender 2.36, you can use 10 slots. These slots are processed in sequence. Which means that if you have a texture that will be computed (for example, an environment map), and you have several texture slots used, you should put the computed slot at the end. A texture describes a design, either an image or one of blender's various different texture types. First thing is to add a texture to the material. Do this by selecting one of the blank texture slots and hit Add New button just to the right. The material now has a texture associated with it, you now have to describe that texture. Do this by selecting the brown brick like button on the header or by pressing F6. You will see the same texture slot list with the texture you have already added. From here you can change the various texture types. Basically just play with the various options and you can see the results for something you like. I am not going to cover how each one looks, its easy to figure out via experimentation by changing texture and modifying its parameters and watching the preview. You can apply images (from files) using the images texture type. Most serious 3D modelers have a large collection of textures. Now I will talk about what you can apply textures for. Go back to the material buttons (F5). Then bring up the Map To panel. Here is a screen shot of what you should be seeing.

The top row of buttons you see there tells how the texture will be applied to the material. Multiple texture slots can be applied to the same attribute, and the same texture can apply to multiple attributes. Any buttons that are pressed down the texture will be applied to. Some buttons have two down states. For these buttons the second down state represents the inverse (if this doesn't make much sense don't worry examples will make it more clear). Its important to understand that when you're modifying the textures themselves in the texture buttons (F6) the preview will always show color. Just because it shows that way in the preview doesn't mean it will show that way when finally applied in the material. It will depend on what you map that texture to and how it interacts with the other textures already on the material. I am now going to describe some of the more common attributes you can map textures to as well as give some examples. To start this is the settings for the texture that I will be using if you want to follow along. To get this all I did was change Texture Type to DistortedNoise. Everything else is at defaults.

Rolling code

A rolling code (or sometimes called a hopping code) is used in keyless entry systems to prevent a simple form of replay attack, where an eavesdropper records the transmission and replays it at a later time to cause the receiver to 'unlock'. Such systems are typical in garage door openers and keyless car entry systems.

Techniques

 * Common PRNG (pseudorandom number generator) — preferably cryptographically secure — in both transmitter and receiver
 * Transmitter sends 'next' code in sequence
 * Receiver compares 'next' to its calculated 'next' code.
 * A typical implementation compares within the next 256 codes in case receiver missed some transmitted keypresses.

HMAC-based one-time password employed widely in multi-factor authentication uses similar approach, but with pre-shared secret key and HMAC instead of PRNG and pre-shared random seed.

Application in RF remote control
A rolling code transmitter is useful in a security system for improving the security of radio frequency (RF) transmission, comprising an interleaved trinary bit fixed code and rolling code. A receiver demodulates the encrypted RF transmission and recovers the fixed code and rolling code. Upon comparison of the fixed and rolling codes with stored codes and seeing that they pass a set of algorithmic checks, a signal is generated to actuate an electric motor to open or close a movable component.

Rolling code vs. fixed code RF remote control
Remote controls send a digital code word to the receiver. If the receiver determines the codeword is acceptable, then the receiver will actuate the relay, unlock the door, or open the barrier. Simple remote control systems use a fixed code word; the code word that opens the gate today will also open the gate tomorrow. An attacker with an appropriate receiver could discover the code word and use it to gain access sometime later. More sophisticated remote control systems use a rolling code (or hopping code) that changes for every use. An attacker may be able to learn the code word that opened the door just now, but the receiver will not accept that code word for the foreseeable future. A rolling code system uses cryptographic methods that allow the remote control and the receiver to share codewords but make it difficult for an attacker to break the cryptography.

KeeLoq

The Microchip HCS301 was once the most widely used system on garage and gate remote control and receivers. The chip uses the KeeLoq algorithm. The HCS301 KeeLoq system transmits 66 data bits:
 * 34 bits are not encrypted: a 28-bit serial number, 4 bits of button information, and 2 status bits (repeat and low battery indicators).
 * 32 bits are encrypted (the rolling code): 4 bits of button information, 2 bits of OVR (used to extend counter value), 10 bits of DISC (discrimination value; often the low 10 bits of the serial number), and a 16-bit counter. In a resyncing situation, the encrypted 32 bits are replaced with a 32-bit seed value.

As detailed at KeeLoq, the algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a variety of attacks, and has been completely broken.

Rolljam vulnerability
A rolling code transmitted by radio signal that can be intercepted can be vulnerable to falsification. In 2015, it was reported that Samy Kamkar had built an inexpensive electronic device about the size of a wallet that could be concealed on or near a locked vehicle to capture a single keyless entry code to be used at a later time to unlock the vehicle. The device transmits a jamming signal to block the vehicle's reception of rolling code signals from the owner's fob, while recording these signals from both of his two attempts needed to unlock the vehicle. The recorded first code is forwarded (replayed) to the vehicle only when the owner makes the second attempt, while the recorded second code is retained for future use. Kamkar stated that this vulnerability had been widely known for years to be present in many vehicle types, but was previously undemonstrated. A demonstration was done during DEF CON 23.

Welcome to Wikimania at Wikiversity! This is the place to coordinate Wikiversity's contributions to the Wikimania fray and is for "show and tell" about all things Wikimaniacal.

Wikimania 2012
Wikimania 2012 will be the 8th annual Wikimedia Conference. It will be held in Washington, D.C. on July 12–15, 2012. See Wikimania 2012 for details of this event. See Wikiversity at Wikimania 2012 if you would like to be involved in organising Wikiversity input.

Wikimania 2012 will be the 8th annual Wikimedia Conference. It will be held in Washington, D.C. on July 12–15, 2012.

Wikimania 2009, the fifth annual international Wikimedia conference was held August 25-29, 2009 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was the first held in Spanish and in the Southern Hemisphere.

Being there
"Wikimania" is an annual face-to-face gathering of enthusiasts of Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikisource and other Wikimedia projects. However, you don't have to physically attend Wikimania to participate. Furthermore, at Wikiversity, we are attempting to find ways to sustain this contact throughout the year. This could include having online meetings - perhaps with the rationale of helping combat climate change by reducing the amount of people travelling the world in jet aircraft. (Have your say!)

An adventure
At Wikimania 2006 in Boston, Wikiversity was announced as the newest addition to the Wikimedia family of projects. Several learning projects and content development groups here at Wikiversity plan to participate in Wikimania:
 * The School of Media Studies will build learning resources for and from the Wikimania experience through Internet Audio and Video.

Wales national football team results 1876–99

 * Nominator(s): Kosack (talk) 21:29, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

The first of a possible series of Wales international football results lists. I've used the format for the one promoted Scottish list as a template and brought this list up to a level I believe is worthy of FL status. I look forward to any comments. Kosack (talk) 21:29, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * "Wales player their first home fixture " - spot the typo ;-)
 * Ahh, I actually saw that and forgot to change it, done now. Kosack (talk) 14:17, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "played 62 fixtures, winning 11, drawing 8 and losing the remaining 44" - that doesn't add up to 62
 * First three general refs (statistics) need access dates
 * Thunk that's it from me - great work! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:06, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review Chris, I've addressed the points above. Kosack (talk) 14:35, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Harrias
That's it from me: a nice list, I look forward to the rest of the series! Harrias talk 12:15, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Per MOS:OVERLINK, delink well-known places; certainly London, Cardiff, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Belfast. Honestly, given that the location will be linked from the ground page, there is an argument for removing them all. - Removed
 * I assume match #12 should be in 1882? - Fixed
 * In light of the recent RFC on table captions (closed back in May) and how FLCs have to follow MOS:ACCESS, a table captions should be included in all tables. This quote by PresN might apply to this list: "In the case that the table is the first thing in a section where the section header is essentially the same as what the caption would be, and therefore looks duplicative visually, you can make the caption screen reader-only with the sronly template, e.g. "
 * I added a hidden caption to the "Head to head records" table. Harrias  talk 18:50, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The "Head to head records" table also needs row and column scopes adding.
 * Add a WP:Short description.
 * "..losing 4–0 at Hamilton Crescent in Partick." The table says "Hamilton Crescent, Glasgow": be consistent. (I know Partick is in Glasgow, but the article should pick one or the other.)
 * "The match makes the Welsh side the third oldest international football team" I'm not keen on this phrasing: maybe rephrase the whole thing to: "The team are the third oldest in international football, behind only Scotland and England. They played their first match on 18 March 1876 against Scotland, losing 4–0 at Hamilton Crescent in Glasgow." (or Partick, whichever you're going with.) It might just be me: don't feel obligated to change if you don't think it is an improvement.
 * "..with Scotland winning.." Avoid noun plus -ing.
 * "..with the British Home Championship, a round-robin tournament, holding.." Same again.
 * "..with Jack Doughty scoring.." And again.
 * "..higher than third in the British Home Championship.." As it is clear what competition you are talking about, I think you could optionally shorten this to "..higher than third in the Championship.."
 * Thanks Harrias, I've amended all of the points above. Let me know what you think. Kosack (talk) 14:35, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Support, I made a couple of copy-edits to the article you might want to check, but I'm happy it now meets the FL criteria, great work. I'll keep an eye out for any more in the series, but feel free to ping me if you want a review and I've missed it. Harrias  talk 18:50, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure if this is actually a guideline but I almost always see the specific refs above the general ones, you may want to do so here – I'm fine with either way though.
 * Amazon says that the Guinness publisher is officially "Guinness World Records Ltd"
 * The ISBN for the Oliver book should also be ISBN 13 not ISBN 10 (use the converter)

Portal:African history

Welcome to the Department of African History Part of the School of History and the School of African Studies.

The Department of African History wishes to provide a comprehensive understanding of the history of the African cultures.

Division description
The scope of this division is the following:

 * To create a comprehensive annotated bibliography of publications and materials on African history.
 * To improve the quality of Wikipedia articles on topics related to African history.
 * To develop free teaching materials for schools outside of Africa. African history is a severely underrepresented topic in school curricula. As a result, misconceptions about Africa, often originating in racist ideologies of the colonial times, are still widespread among Europeans and Americans. To solve this problem, course materials should be developed that can be used by history teachers in Europe, America and other parts of the world.
 * To develop free books or teaching materials about African history for primary school and pre school level so that educators and parents can work against the formation of misconceptions about Africa at an early age.
 * To develop free teaching materials for African schools. The teaching of history in African school curricula is often highly eurocentric and based on European curricula of France and the United Kingdom so that students often learn more about European history than about the history of their own country and continent. The teaching materials for African schools might or might not be identical to the teaching materials for non-African schools or might share modules with them. They might be more detailed in some areas than the teaching materials for non-African schools and might be complemented with regional materials that provide in depth coverage of the regional history of certain parts of Africa and can be used regionally.
 * To develop free textbooks and teaching materials for academic level education about African history.
 * To discuss how such teaching materials can become incorporated into the curricula of Schools inside and outside of Africa.
 * To do original research in African history.

The scope of this department is not limited to written history but may include knowledge on African history gained from other disciplines like archeology, oral history research, linguistics, comparative ethnology, genetics etc.

Research Projects

 * Institute of History of Racism
 * North west African continental shelves
 * Slavery
 * South east African continental shelves

Martin O'Doherty

Martin O'Doherty (born 26 March 1952) is an Irish former hurler who played as a full-back for the Cork senior team.

Born in Galway, O'Doherty first played competitive hurling during his schooling at Coláiste Chríost Rí. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Cork minor teams as a dual player, before later joining the under-21 sides. He made his senior hurling debut during the 1971 championship. O'Doherty later became a regular member of the starting fifteen, and won three All-Ireland medals, six Munster medals and one National Hurling League medal. The All-Ireland-winning captain 1in 1977, he was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.

As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, O'Doherty won one Railway Cup medal. At club level he is a two-time All-Ireland medallist with Glen Rovers O'Doherty also won two Munster medals and two championship medals.

Throughout his career O'Doherty made 25 championship appearances. He retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1982 championship.

Colleges
During his schooling at Coláiste Chríost Rí in Cork, O'Doherty established himself as a key member of the senior hurling and Gaelic football teams. In 1968 he secured a remarkable provincial double, winning Harty Cup and Corn Uí Mhuirí medals following respective defeats of CBS Sexton Street and Coláiste Íosagáin. After a defeat by St. Peter's College in the subsequent Croke Cup decider, O'Doherty won a Hogan Cup medal following a 3–11 to 1–10 defeat of Belcamp College.

Two years later O'Doherty won a second Corn Uí Mhuirí medal following another defeat of Coláiste Íosagáin. He later added a second Hogan Cup medal to his collection following a narrow 4–5 to 1–13 defeat of St. Malachy's from Belfast.

University
During his studies at University College Cork, O'Doherty was an automatic inclusion on the college hurling team. In 1978 he was at full-back as UCC faced University College Dublin in the final of the Fitzgibbon Cup. A 3–15 to 2–7 defeat was the result on that occasion.

Club
O'Doherty enjoyed little success with Glen Rovers in the minor and under-21 grades, however, by 1972 he was a key member of the senior team. He won his first championship medal that year following a 3–15 to 1–10 of first-time finalists Youghal. A subsequent 2–9 to 1–10 defeat of former champions Roscrea gave O'Doherty a first Munster medal. On 9 December 1973 O'Doherty lined out in the All-Ireland decider against St. Rynagh's. Tom Buckley and Red Crowley inspired the Glen to a 2–18 to 2–8 victory, giving O'Doherty his first All-Ireland medal.

Glen Rovers surrendered their titles the following season, however, the team bounced back in 1976 with O'Doherty as captain. A 2–7 to 0–10 defeat of Blackrock gave him a second championship medal. He later added a second Munster medal to his collection following a 2–8 to 2–4 defeat of South Liberties. The subsequent All-Ireland decider on 27 March 1977 saw Glen Rovers face Camross. A relatively comfortable 2–12 0–8 victory gave O'Doherty a second All-Ireland medal, while he also had the honour of lifting the cup as captain.

Minor, under-21 and junior
O'Doherty first played for Cork as a member of the minor football team in 1968. He was a late addition to the starting fifteen, making his debut in the All-Ireland decider against Sligo on 22 September 1968. A narrow 3–5 to 1–10 victory gave O'Doherty an All-Ireland Minor Football Championship medal.

In 1969 O'Doherty was a dual player in the minor grade. He added a second Munster medal to his collection, as the footballers defeated Kerry by 3–11 to 0–12. A week later O'Doherty won his first Munster medal with the hurlers as Tipperary were accounted for on a score line of 1–12 to 2–4. On 7 September 1969 Cork faced Kilkenny in the All-Ireland decider. A 2–15 to 3–6 victory gave O'Doherty his first All-Ireland medal.

O'Doherty collected a second Munster medal with the hurlers in 1970 following a 3–8 to 4–4 defeat of Tipperary once again. The subsequent All-Ireland final on 6 September 1970 saw Cork faced Galway. A 5–19 to 2–9 trouncing gave O'Doherty a second consecutive All-Ireland medal, in what was his last game in the minor grade.

By the end of 1970 O'Doherty was also added to the Cork under-21 teams in both codes. He was an unused substitute as the Cork hurlers defeated Wexford by 5–17 to 0–8 in a replay of the All-Ireland decider, however, he was a regular member of the under-21 football side for the latter stages of the championship. On 4 October 1970 Cork faced Fermamagh in the All-Ireland final. A convincing 2–11 to 0–9 victory gave O'Doherty a first All-Ireland medal in that grade.

O'Doherty was a dual provincial medallist with the under-21s in 1971. A 5–11 to 4–9 defeat of Tipperary gave him his first Munster medal with the hurlers, while he also collected a first Munster medal with the footballers following a 1–10 to 2–5 defeat of Waterford. O'Doherty was at right corner-back for the subsequent All-Ireland hurling decider against Wexford on 12 September 1971. John Rothwell ran riot and scored four goals as Cork powered to a 7–8 to 1–11 victory. It was his first All-Ireland medal with the under-21s on the field of play. A week later Cork faced Fermanagh for the second successive year in the All-Ireland football decider. A 3–10 to 0–3 trouncing gave O'Doherty a second All-Ireland medal in that code.

1971 also saw Doherty link up with the Cork junior football team. A 2–7 to 1–5 defeat of Clare gave him a Munster medal.

The following year O'Doherty missed the Cork junior footballers provincial campaign, however, he was at left corner-back for the All-Ireland decider against Hertfordshire on 1 October 1972. A 5–16 to 0–3 thrashing gave him an All-Ireland medal.

In 1973 O'Doherty was captain of the under-21 hurling side. After missing the provincial decider he was back on the starting fifteen for the All-Ireland decider against Wexford on 11 November 1973. A 2–10 to 4–2 victory gave O'Doherty a second All-Ireland medal on the field of play, his third over all, while he also had the honour of collecting the cup.

Senior
O'Doherty made his senior championship debut on 4 July 1971 in a 2–16 to 2–14 Munster semi-final defeat by Limerick.

After being dropped from the panel the following year, O'Doherty returned as Cork's first-choice full-back from 1973. He won a National Hurling League medal the following year after a 6–15 to 1–12 trouncing of Limerick.

O'Doherty won his first Munster medal in 1975 following a 3–14 to 0–12 defeat of Limerick.

1976 saw Cork retain their provincial title with another huge 4–14 to 3–5 win over neighbouring Limerick. It was O'Doherty's second Munster medal. Wexford provided the opposition in the subsequent All-Ireland final on 5 September 1976. Wexford got off to a great start and were 2–2 to no score ahead after just six minutes. Wexford had a two-point lead with ten minutes to go, however, three points from Jimmy Barry-Murphy, two from Pat Moylan and a kicked effort from Ray Cummins gave Cork a 2–21 to 4–11 victory. It was O'Doherty's first All-Ireland medal.

O'Doherty was appointed captain of the team in 1977. He won a third successive Munster medal that year following a 4–15 to 4–10 defeat of fourteen-man Clare. The All-Ireland final on 4 September 1977 was a repeat of the previous year, with Wexford providing the opposition once again. Seánie O'Leary score the decisive goal for Cork as the game entered the last quarter, while Martin Coleman brought off a match-winning save from Christy Keogh to foil the Wexford comeback. A 1–17 to 3–8 victory gave O'Doherty a second All-Ireland medal, while he also had the honour of lifting the Liam MacCarthy Cup. He was later presented with his first All-Star.

Cork made it a fourth successive provincial title in 1978, with O'Doherty also collecting his fourth winners' medal following a narrow 0–13 to 0–11 defeat of Clare. On 3 September 1978 Cork faced Kilkenny in the All-Ireland decider. Cork went on to secure a first three-in-a-row of All-Ireland titles for the first time in over twenty years, as a Jimmy Barry-Murphy goal helped the team to a 1–15 to 2–8 victory over Kilkenny. It was O'Doherty's third successive All-Ireland medal, while he later secured a second All-Star.

Cork and O'Doherty won a record-equaling fifth successive Munster title in 1979 following a 2–15 to 0–9 trouncing of Limerick. Cork's quest for a fourth successive All-Ireland title ended with a semi-final defeat by Galway, however, O'Doherty was later presented with a third successive All-Star.

After emigrating to Los Angeles O'Doherty missed Cork's championship campaign in 1981. He was back the following year as Cork powered their way through the championship. A massive 5–21 to 3–6 defeat of Waterford in the provincial decider gave him a sixth Munster medal. On 5 September 1982 Cork faced Kilkenny in the All-Ireland decider. "The Cats", who many viewed as the underdogs, surprised all on the day, with Christy Heffernan scoring two goals in a forty-second spell just before the interval to take the wind out of Cork's sails. Ger Fennelly got a third goal within eight minutes of the restart, giving Kilkenny a 3–18 to 1–15 victory. O'Doherty retired from inter-county hurling following this defeat.

Inter-provincial
In 1978 O'Doherty was chosen at full-back on the Munster inter-provincial team. A 0–20 to 1–11 defeat of Connacht in the decider gave him a Railway Cup medal.

Campbell (electoral district)

Campbell was a territorial electoral district in the Canadian territory of Yukon, which was represented in the Legislative Assembly of Yukon from 1978 to 1992.

The district was first created for the 1978 Yukon general election, from parts of Hootalinqua, Pelly River and Watson Lake. The district was designed so that First Nations voters would be a majority. In that election, it was one of two districts in the territory to elect an independent MLA, despite the adoption of a new political party structure in territorial politics; Bob Fleming was particularly disdainful of party politics during the campaign, calling it a "great schmozzle", but relented and joined the Yukon Progressive Conservative Party in 1981. Fleming was defeated in the 1982 Yukon general election by Dave Porter of the Yukon New Democratic Party, and the district remained an NDP stronghold for the remainder of its existence.

The district was dissolved in 1992, when it was redistributed into Ross River-Southern Lakes.

Fragilariopsis cylindrus

Fragilariopsis cylindrus is a pennate sea-ice diatom that is found native in the Argentine Sea and Antarctic waters, with a pH of 8.1–8.4. It is regarded as an indicator species for polar water.

Description
Fragilariopsis cylindrus is a unicellular, eukaryotic, microalgae that is important due to its ecological roles. This is because it is major contributor to climate change processes, responsible for 20% global carbon fixation, and forms a substantial basis of the marine food web, making up 40% of marine primary productivity. F. cylindrus is found native to the Southern Ocean, with their proximal side valve mantle being 1.6μm, their girdle 0.75μm, apical axis ranging between 15.5μm to 55.0μm, transapical axis ranging from 2.4μm to 4.0μm, and their transapcial axis ranging from 2.4μm to 4.0μm. Their transapical striae count is 10–16, with a mean of 10μm, while their row of poroids range from 50 to 56, in 10μm. F. cylindrus typically forms large populations in the bottom layer of sea ice, as well as in the wider sea-ice zone, which includes open waters. It is known for its ability to survive temperatures below 0°C, high salinity, the semi-enclosed pore systems within the ice, as well as low diffusion rates of dissolved gases and exchange of inorganic nutrients that occur within their environment. F. cylindrus is a phototropic organism, but is able to sustain essential metabolic processes in the dark, ensuring rapid recovery upon re-illumination, and allowing them to survive long-term darkness. Gram stain, cellulose activity, growth rate, motility and the microbe's ability to resist/produce antibiotics have are unknown at this moment.
