Talk:Douglas Reed

Importance?
I am surprised to see a tag on the page - particularly without any discussion on this page. Regardless of writing quality or general offensiveness, thirty years after his death Reed is still often quoted, and deserves to be recorded on that basis alone. Humansdorpie 12:34, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the importance tag. Also removed the pointless redlinking. Humansdorpie 14:34, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Hitler Admirer?
Having just finished reading Insanity Fair - i can state in all honesty the man hated the Nazi's before they started WW2, and certainly hated Hitler. The point about anti-semitism, however, i accept. Insanity Fair does not put the Jews in a particularly good light, but there is some sympathy for them. If anyone comes up with evidence of Reed liking Hitler i'll restore the point. Pydos 19:44, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Insanity Fair does have high praise for Jews. He praises their hard work as the source of their money. Perhaps some other book he wrote might say something worse about Jews but what I read really didn't seem bad at all. Noting that someone has money and explaining the source of the money was hard work is not insulting to me. He is definately not a Hitler Admirer in this book. Reed carefully cites many National Socialist shortcomings, while he fails to cite anything good about National Socialism. He does say the Nazi's wanted war and they scare him.

Long quotes
Such long quotes do not belong in the bio. I guess that the insistence to reinsert them here is only because they contain Holocaust denial. That would explain the links to antisemitic websites as well. ←Humus sapiens ну? 04:15, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Is it just the fashion?
I'm a little troubled that such a short article on a very well-known person, who lived 81 years, mentions at the beginning that the NYT obit called him a "virulent anti-Semite." What else did the paper say about him and is that equally noteworthy? Others have clearly noted here that Reed was anti-Nazi and anti-Hitler, so is it just the current fashion to feel compelled to mention his thoughts about Jews? What did he think of other small groups: the Albanians, Montenards, Parsi? Maybe we should mention them all and forget other, more important factors? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:40, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

All of that would be useless, as I have witnessed over the past few days, that all articles regarding the jews is controlled either by jewish editors themselves, and this can be proven, or by heavily biased jewish sympathyizers who slant coverage of anyone oppsed to zionism or the like, as virulent anti-semite, perhaps someone should point out, that orginally a semite is two things, those from Africa and those from Sumer, civilizations, which scientifically have been proven to exist and flourish long before, Judah or Judea, or palestine, or now known as israel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lacanorgan (talk • contribs) 16:41, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Fairly insane article
This article is absolutely sub-standard. I lacks basic information about the life of its subject and takes complete leave of common sense in the paragraph about jews.

I do not possess the necessary insight to write something useful, but this is certainly of no use.

 * The biographical information is contained in the "Biography" section. The article attempts to give justice to Reed's experiences as a journalist and his historical works. The paragraph about Jews at the beginning summarizes Reed's overall views about some of the underlying causes of major political events and the nature of and reasons for those causes.Theworldinstrument (talk) 06:40, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Orwell's piece on Reed can be found here. Maybe we can include more of it.Jeff5102 (talk) 16:15, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Article Supports Reed's Thesis
Generally, this article only supports Reed's thesis, which is meticulously developed in his work The Controversy of Zion. It's overarching theme is to condemn Jewish imperialism, or Zionism, or it can be said that movement that arises from whatever sector of what one refers to as Jewry (as Reed points out, the eastern Russian Talmudic variety) that manipulates, schemes and connives to incessantly work on one way, this way, that way or the other to steer the course of events on planet earth that will maximize the standing, power and influence of Jews, with the apex of this 'achievement' being all things Israel. As always, the Jewish dominated media, and all the sundry sympathizers, with a wave of a hand dismiss such 'nonsense', even when the facts pile up to the sky and overwhelmingly support the thesis, which even in Reed's time were so - today we only see a profound amplification of the same trend.

The vacuous and dismissive way in which this article treats someone who had risen to a senior correspondent for the London Times is par for the course for someone who dares to put his finger on the bull's eye of what troubles planet earth. Reed does make a distinction between the insane, wild-eyed Talmudic carrying freaks from Russia in the latter part of the 19th century who gave birth to the idea that the Jews should migrate to Palestine, claim it as their own, and carve out a Jewish state and name it 'Israel'. This fact is not made up out of whole cloth, drawn from the airy space of Reed's imagination, but is supported by dense and irrefutable facts. Yet, concurrently with this first wave of insanity came the reaction, so Reed tells us, of Jews in the west, namely of the British stripe and American, but primarily the British. These Jews were overwhelmingly opposed to such lunacy, and wanted no part in it.

Unfortunately, as time rolled along, getting into the start of the 20th century, and the horrid affair that turned into, it became more difficult to parse out where the opposition to this agenda within the ranks of Jews was in western parts, until by now we generally see a merging of what was then east (per Reed) and west. Indeed, how can one of the Jews of today speak out against the conspiracy if its very existence is denied?

At any rate, the article is inconsistent with Reed's own testimony concerning this quote, "Reed spent the duration of the Second World War in England". Reed recalls his whereabouts during that period in The Controversy of Zion, p 323:

"During these six years when "the unnecessary war" was brewed I watched the turbulent, darkening scene from Berlin and Vienna and all the great cities on which the long night was soon to fall: Prague and Budapest, Belgrade and Bucharest, Sofia and Warsaw. I saw as much as any man, I suppose, of the stoking of the furnace from which the ingot, war, was produced; and more than most, because I was not confined to any one country or faction, but had the run of them all. I knew the noise of the bravoes in the Storm Troopers' Stammkneipen, the furtive, bitter talk of their adversaries in private dwellings, and the nervous murmur of men on the run, who glanced ever over their shoulders. I saw the face of the mob, that dinosaur without a cerebral cavity, in both its moods: the inflamed one of illusory hope (in Berlin) and the hollowcheeked, sunken-eyed one of hopeless disillusionment (in Moscow). I met fear at every level, from the streetcleaner to the head of state or of government; I saw the terror in both its headquarter cities.

I knew or met many of the men who appeared to be powerful and to uphold opposing causes, and yet by their acts all brought "the unnecessary war" nearer and nearer. I talked with Hitler, Goering and Goebbels; I lunched quietly by the Geneva lakeside with chubby Maxim Litvinoff, a typical figure of the Café des Exiles, and wondered what he knew of Russia who so little Russia knew, though he was Foreign Minister of that communized land. I saw Mussolini, and Ramsay Macdonald, one of the British prime ministers who passed shadow-like across the blind during these years. I talked for long hours with Edouard Benesh in the old castle at Prague, with Austrian chancellors and Hungarian prime ministers, with Balkan kings and politicians. I went to watch the League of Nations, with high expectations then (for I was still callow) and was repelled by the manner of its proceedings, which was without dignity, by the lobbying and canvassing behind the scenes, and by the throng of hangers-on and intriguers which enfringed it; I think few enthusiasts for the "United Nations" would be found among those who knew the League of Nations. I went to Moscow, in the journalistic bodyguard of a rising young minister named Anthony Eden, and there saw a regime which was the facsimile of the National Socialist one in Germany in every major respect save the status of the Jews, who appeared to me to be predominant in the key-positions of the Soviet state."

Kee Klamp

A Kee Klamp is a structural pipe fitting commonly used in the construction of handrails and barriers. Fabricated installations comprise the fittings and separate tubing components, which can be sized on site.

The system was devised in 1934 and is made by a subsidiary of KIG Holdings. The fittings are mostly supplied to third parties for sale to fabricators, with a small proportion of sales being made internally to specialist divisions of the company.

History
The system was developed in 1934 by George H. Gascoigne and his colleagues in Reading, England for making cows' milking stalls. It was advertised to industrial chemists in 1944, marketed in the UK in the 1950s as a cattle control system, and used for storage systems in factories in the 1960s. By 1980 it was available in Canada, as noted by the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.

Components
The system comprises unthreaded cast iron or aluminium structural tubing and slip-on structural pipe fittings. The galvanized malleable fittings provide resistance to corrosion and are secured to the tubes using set screws by use of a hex key.

Some cutting or bending of the tubes may be required while installing the system, according to site-specific circumstances. Skilled labourers such as welders are not required, but the material costs are higher for the Kee Klamp system. A contractor at the Long Island Rail Road described the system in 2007 as being "very simple to install".

Usage
Example uses of various derived systems are in guard rails and market stalls. More unusual uses have been seen in home shelving, kite buggying and the Rover chair. Parkour and Ninja Warrior training facilities have also benefited from the reliable and quick to set up Structural Pipe Fittings.

In 2003, the company and a former competitor stated that such fittings were not being used in some countries in Europe, in favour of welding. This was due to lower labour costs. For uncomplicated installations, welding may be a cheaper solution than Kee Klamp, depending upon usage.

Market dominance
In 2003, the system dominated the UK and EU markets, with a share of 70–80 per cent. (The fittings market was worth £5–8 million in the UK in 2003.) The premium branding the product is said to hold is due to KIG offering incremental services. Some customers inherently prefer using such fittings, while others prefer welding. The choice of system is often made during initial design of an installation.

The system is marketed for specific uses under various names, including a low-cost brand called Tubeclamp. Specialist divisions of the company exist which fabricate finished structures, although such internal sales of the fittings constitute only a fraction of total fittings sales.

Between 1998 and 2003, volumes of Kee Klamp sales increased. The value of total annual sales remained static throughout this period, associated with an overall price reduction of 20–30 per cent. During this period, the price reduction of a complete system including the tube components was 5–10 per cent.

A business acquisition by KIG of no frills competitor FastMat (a subsidiary of Access Technologies) in 2003 led to a report being filed with the UK's Secretary of State for Trade and Industry under the Fair Trading Act 1973. The report concluded that the merger should not be referred to the Competition Commission due to the relatively inexpensive cost of entry to the market by others. Most suppliers of competing products to the UK import their fittings from low-cost Far East contract manufacturers.

Matchstik was blocked for spamming a page about Allen Forrest (aka Matchstik). Matchstik made his last block appeals on February 25-27, 2011. On February 25, while those block appeals were still under discussion, new user Bookie1919 re-created a page about Allen Forrest, presumably replacing Matchstik's version.

 * Matchstik referred to himself as "The American Recording Artist Rapper/Producer/Singer/Song writer Matchstik" here

along with his prophetic suggestion that "a third party" would soon begin to edit his articles. Three hours later, the current article was created by newly registered Bookie1919, which refers to Matchstik as "American Recording Artist, Singer/Song Writer, Music Producer and Occasional Actor". I believe that the IP and Bookie1919 are the same user because both of them use the ref tag the same way with an excessive number of spaces, one on each side of the ref tag:,. Also, Bookie1919 has uploaded at least one photograph of the subject as "own work" that would imply some sort of connection. Matchstik's article space contributions have all been deleted, but if somebody that can view them were to check, I would be surprised if those extra spaces aren't there as well. Incidentally, a new IP has begun editing with the same ref formatting:. Geogene (talk) 22:54, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

HTX (cryptocurrency exchange)

HTX is a Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange. Founded in China as Huobi, the company now has offices in Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and the United States. In August 2018 it became a publicly listed Hong Kong company.

Following a 2017 ban on Bitcoin exchanges by the Chinese government, Huobi stopped Bitcoin withdrawals. Huobi China continues to operate as a blockchain consulting and research platform.

, Huobi processed around US $1 billion in trades daily.

Huobi changed its name to HTX in September 2023.

History
Huobi was founded in 2013 by Leon Li. An alumnus of Tsinghua University, Li was a computer engineer at Oracle before founding Huobi.

On May 15, 2013, the Huobi Group (火币集团) acquired the huobi.com domain. On August 1, Huobi launched a simulation trading platform, and on September 1 the Bitcoin trading platform launched.

In November 2013, Huobi received angel investments from Dai Zhikang and Zhen Fund. In 2014, Huobi raised a $10 million venture capital investment from Sequoia Capital. In August 2014, Huobi acquired Bitcoin wallet provider Quick Wallet.

In December 2013, trading volume exceeded 30 billion yuan, making Huobi China's largest digital asset trading platform at the time. In June 2016, its total transaction volume reached 1 trillion RMB, and in November 2016 1.7 trillion yuan, accounting for more than 60% of the global bitcoin exchange market. On December 22, 2016, its daily transaction volume surpassed 200 billion yuan.

In September 2014, Huobi announced through its official Weibo account that 920 bitcoin and 8,100 litecoin had been wrongly deposited into 27 different accounts. The firm returned the lost cryptocurrency.

In August 2017 Huobi and OKCoin controversially invested 1 billion yuan ($150 million) of idle client funds into wealth-management products.

In September 2017, the Chinese government banned initial coin offerings (ICOs) and trading on domestic cryptocurrency exchanges, rendering many people's holdings effectively worthless, including those of users on Huobi's exchange. In response, Huobi adjusted its business and organizational structure to promote global expansion. In October 2017, Huobi officially expanded into Korea with a new headquarters in Seoul, South Korea, and opened trading in March 2018.

In November 2017, it launched operations in Singapore with total volume in the first month exceeding 30 billion RMB. In December 2017, it launched an office in Tokyo, Japan and announced that it would set up two crypto exchanges in Japan in early 2018, through a partnership with Japanese financial group SBI Group. In March 2018, Huobi announced that it will be launching in the United States.

In August 2018, in a reverse takeover, Huobi acquired a 74% stake in Hong Kong electronics manufacturer Pantronics Holdings, becoming listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

In November 2020, Huobi launches Huobi Labuan to realize regulated crypto exchange in Malaysia.

In September 2021, Huobi announced that it would stop serving customers in mainland China due to new regulations.

In September 2023, Huobi announced its rebranding as HTX.

Research and partnerships
In April 2015, Huobi partnered with Tsinghua University in a "Digital Asset Research Initiative", and sponsored a "Digital Asset Research Project" at the Internet Finance Laboratory of Wudaokou Tsinghua School of Finance.

On July 1, 2016, the Huobi Network Blockchain Research Center published a report, "Blockchain: Defining a New Financial and Economic Future". On December 20, 2016, Huobi joined the Fintech Digital Asset Alliance (Shenzhen) along with the Fintech Research Institute of China under the guidance of the Shenzhen Municipal Government.

Darwish Pasha (governor of Damascus)

Darwish Pasha, also spelled Dervish Pasha, was the Ottoman beylerbey (governor-general) of Damascus Eyalet from 1571 to 1574. In 1574 he constructed an Islamic building complex consisting of a mosque, madrasa, mausoleum, and a fountain, which came to be called the Darwishiyya Madrasa after him. The governor endowed the complex as waqf for Isma'il al-Nabulsi, great-grandfather of the Sufi scholar Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, and his descendants to teach the Shafi'i fiqh (jurisprudence). Isma'il attracted Turkish, Persian, and Arab students there and Darwish Pasha built a mausoleum for him at the Bab al-Saghir cemetery.

Bible

The Holy Bible is an ancient Judeo-Christian text. It tells about God, the creation of the World, Adam, Enoch, Noah, Job, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel), Ruth, Samson, David, Daniel, Jesus and many others. It is believed by many to be the complete Word of God and by others to be a holy book, even if there are other valid records of God's Word.

The Bible is divided into two major parts:
 * The Old Testament
 * The New Testament

The Old Testament is based upon the first part of the Tanakah, the Hebrew Bible, which Jews still follow today. The books that make up the Old Testament depend on Christian denominations. Most Protestant denomonations have 39 books as they consider them deuterocanonical. However the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox Churches consider these books canonical. These books include :

 * Tobit
 * Judith
 * Additions to Esther
 * Wisdom
 * Ben Sira
 * Baruch
 * Additions to Daniel:
 * Song of the Three Children
 * Story of Susanna
 * The Idol Bel and the Dragon
 * 1 Maccabees
 * 2 Maccabees

Unlike the Old Testament, the New Testament teaches about a main person in all of its books, Jesus Christ. Also, most main traditions of Christianity honor the same books in the New Testament.

Talk:Elephants in Kerala culture

Merger
Why not rather divide 'elephants in Kerala' into parts to be distributed among more logical articles, such as temple elephants, instead of this artificial regional article- we don't wont (propbably for the most tediously similar) articles on every Asian region with elephants

 * pleae merge the two that is better

 * I Support the removal of this regional title but not the idea of breaking it up into more separate articles.....the article here i think pertains to how elephants are very much part of the culture and traditions and more significantly part of the folklore and legends...in India expecially Kerala, probably srilanka and few south east asian countries Like thailand( forgive my ignorance if i am wrong as i have not heard about other places). And all these are more or less related...Like Temple, Royal Processions (dashahera in mysore), cultural festivals. And then there are Elephants which are special ...few royal elephants of Thailand, special elephants in Srilanka (kandy) who are used to carry the relics of Lord Budha during processions there. I think this article needs to be on its own with a link "see also" under Asian elephants.activevoid 18:27, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I too think that the article has its own relevence. It should not be merged. It is better to add a "see also" tag in the article to link with Indian elephants. Elephants are very much a part of Kerala culture. Elephants owners association and elephant lovers association is registered in Kerala. The description about how elephants are treated in Kerala is very much distinct from a generic narration. Hence, this article is to be retained. -- Rajith Mohan (Talk to me...) :-) 05:02, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I too agree with (Talk to me...). User_talk:Kjrajesh

 * The sub topics in this article is unique in all respect like Caring for elephants, Ornaments used for elephants , elephants and their treatment, Elephants in festivals etc, these things are not seen in rest of the part in India. Also Temple elephant is diffrent topic, Elephants of Kerala is not just seen in Hindu Temples.

User_talk:Kjrajesh

 * The title of the article is however inappropriate, in my opinion. How about moving it to Elephants in Kerala culture or likewise?-- thund e rboltz(Deepu) 06:11, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose the merge: I don't agree with move. This is more a cultural article, that is more related to the animal itself. - Ganeshk  ( talk ) 07:19, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose the merge The two topics are different (science + culture) as the renaming has made clear. While Kerala culture deserves a separate article at this stage, there's an issue too about building a consistent framework for articles that cover other areas. Have a look at Dasara Elephants and Elephant Balarama ... I think that editor could use some help Mereda 07:43, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The article talks of elephants and their cultural identity with Keralites. Indian elephant is a more scientific topic, and this shouldnt be merged with that.--thunderboltz(Deepu) 08:23, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Celestia/Development/Win32 platform/Tortoise CVS

This page is obsolete. Celestia code development now uses Subversion (SVN). CVS no longer works. For details of building Celestia under Windows, please read the page Windows XP 32bit & Windows 7, 64bit

Acquiring Celestia CVS with TortoiseCVS (by Wcomer)

'''Celestia no longer uses CVS. Use ToroiseSVN instead.'''

 * 1) Download the latest version here: (1-2 min, 3.7 MB) http://www.tortoisecvs.org/download.shtml
 * 2) Follow the TortoiseCVS installation instructions. Note – you may be asked to reboot your machine but in my experience this wasn’t necessary.
 * 3) Create a new folder on your hard drive. Mine is called “C:\TortoiseCVS”. This will be your CVS repository
 * 4) Right-click your CVS repository folder and select “CVS Checkout”. If you do not see this option, then you must reboot your machine and try again.
 * 5) Enter “:pserver:anonymous@celestia.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/celestia” as your CVSROOT. This should cause several other fields to fill in:
 * 6) Protocol - “Password server (:pserver:)”;
 * 7) Server – “celestia.cvs.sourceforge.net”;
 * 8) Repository folder – “/cvsroot/celestia”;
 * 9) User name – “anonymous”.
 * 10) Enter “celestia” as your Module.
 * 11) Press OK. Now the CVS client will attempt to download the Celestia source code. Expect the download time to be about 20 minutes mostly because the CVS server is a bit slow. If it is successful then there will be a subfolder called “celestia” within your CVS repository which will contain the current Celestia CVS archive.
 * 12) The checkout process may timeout, especially if you started it during a time of heavy traffic (that's late in the evening if accessing from Europe). You can continue the checkout at any time. Tortoise will restart with the incompletely checked out directory.
 * 13) If you normally use a dialup modem, you may safely do the initial checkout at an external broadband access and then copy the complete CVS directory to your local computer. Tortoise marks all CVS directories and will recognize the copied one instantly. Subsequent checkouts are usually only some dozen kB in size, and can be easily accessed from a dialup line.

Also, download the Windows-specific shared libraries that aren't included with Celestia on SourcForge. The libraries for use with Visual Studio 2003 are at http://shatters.net/celestia/files/winlibs-new.zip Unzip these files and put them in a directory with the other library files.

Gnathia marleyi

Gnathia marleyi is a species of crustacean in the family Gnathiidae. It is named after reggae musician Bob Marley. It is a parasite that infests and feeds on the blood of such fish as the French grunt (Haemulon flavioliniatum). This tiny species is only found in the Caribbean Sea. It only eats while in the juvenile stage. It can be found hiding among sea sponges, algae, and pieces of dead coral.

Description
The cephalosome of adult male specimens has a distinct produced frontal border with conical superior fronto-lateral processes with a slightly sunken inferior conical medio-frontal process. The dentate blades of the mandibles each contain ten or eleven processes, with the overall mandible being .8 times the length of the cephalasome. The cephalosome of adult females is rectangular with convex lateral margins. It is 1.2 times as wide as it is long, and has no paraocular ornamentation. The frontal border is broadly rounded, slightly concave anteriorly, and produced. The backward-directed mandible on the third-stage praniza has eight large triangular teeth and two small teeth at the tip.

Distribution and habitat
This species is only found in the Caribbean Sea, where it is abundant. It lives in the shallow waters of coral reefs, primarily in the eastern Caribbean.

Behaviour

Gnathia marleyi is a protelian parasite quite similar ecologically to non-marine, blood-sucking ticks and mosquitoes. This species remains hidden among sponges, algae, and debris on the sea floor. It has the ability to attack fish by surprise. Once attached to the fish, it feeds on its blood, lymph or mucus. It does this only during the juvenile stage. After reaching maturity, it ceases to feed and becomes a free-living, benthic organism. It survives on the blood it has consumed until the time of its death. During this period, believed to be about two to three weeks, it seeks to reproduce.

Sensory cues
In a study to determine sensory cues used by Gnathia marleyi, field experiments were conducted in the Virgin Islands. From June 2008 through August 2010, marine biologists examined cues used by this species to help locate host fish. They used experimental traps which offered both olfactory and visual cues to the parasite from live French grunts (Haemulon flavioliniatum). It was determined that a substantially higher number of gnathiids were attracted to the traps than when only visual cues or control traps were used. Both the traps using visual cues and the control traps, which were empty or contained only a rock, yielded similar results. Findings of the study suggest that, particularly during nocturnal and crepuscular periods, attempting to attract specimens using only visual cues by resting or slow-moving fish is not enough to attract Gnathia marleyi. However, using only olfactory cues will attract this species. As a side benefit, the traps engineered for use in this study provide a new method that can be used to sample free-living gnathiid isopods.

Discovery and naming
The species was discovered by field marine biologist Paul Sikkel around 2002 in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It was the first new Caribbean species of Gnathiidae to be discovered in over twenty years. Sikkel and others are doing research into the relationships between gnathiid populations and the health of other communities of species living within the coral reef. Charon Farquharson of the University of Johannesburg in South Africa and Smit are both part of the research team. Their work is funded in part by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Preserved Gnathia marleyi specimens will be permanently kept at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. An exhibit to publicly feature this species at the museum is under discussion.

In September, 1941, Enrico Fermi designed what became known as the Chicago Pile, the first controlled nuclear reaction. This proved that nuclear energy was real, and usable, and gave impetuous to those who would use nuclear power for more destructive purposes. Built out of a lattice of Uranium, it used Graphite as a controlling substance, to slow down the rate of fission. December 2, 1942 marked the first successful test of Fermi’s Chicago Pile.

HMS Surprise is the 1973 historical naval novel by Patrick O'Brian. It is third in the series of stories of Captain Jack Aubrey and the naval surgeon Stephen Maturin.

Plot summary
Aubrey takes command of the frigate HMS Surprise, charged with carrying a British ambassador to the East Indies. Much of the novel deals with the ups and downs of Maturin's relationship with Diana Villiers. Jack's romance with Sophie Williams also progresses.

This book also describes Aubrey's first stint in command of, and provides the readers' first encounter with the Surprise herself. Although apparently based on the real Royal Navy frigate HMS Surprise, she appears as a ship on which Aubrey had served as a youth. (His initials remain carved in the mast.) The real HMS Surprise, however, entered the Royal Navy as a prize captured from the French in 1796, so that O'Brian would seem to have added some fifteen years to her age, taking her capture (which he mentions) back to the previous phase of Anglo-French hostilities which formed part of the war of American independence (1776-1783).

The Surprise becomes Aubrey's favourite ship, and appears in many other novels in the series.

On the return voyage the Surprise encounters a fleet of the East India Company, returning from China laden with goods. The fleet comes under attack from a French squadron, but Aubrey organizes a spirited defence from the merchant ships and bluffs the French into retreating. This episode reflects elements of the Battle of Pulo Aura on 15 February 1804, in which 16 merchant ships of the East India Company under the command of Commodore Nathaniel Dance, drove off a French squadron consisting of the Marengo (74 guns), Belle-Poule (40), Sémillante (36), Berceau (22) and Aventurier (16), commanded by Rear-Admiral Charles-Alexandre Léon Durand Linois. (Another fictional account of this incident appears in Newton Forster; or, the Merchant Service by Captain Frederick Marryat.)

Talk:Una Deerbon

Start-up material
Some of the material appearing in the first version of this article appears to have been appropriated from the draft in my Sandbox. I have added more material and gladly accepted details, for instance of Deerbon's divorce. There is a continuing problem: newspaper interest in her work seems to have fallen off badly between WW2 and 2010, when her prices started to boom at auction. Accordingly information is skimpy on Deerbon's career from the end of the war till her death. We also lack any decent photo of a piece of her work. Erictimewell (talk) 05:37, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Accusation of plagiarism denied. I came across her redlink name in the list of Australian art potters, which ordinarily should be removed, as lists should refer to existing WP articles, but did Google search and found the SMH reference, so made a modest start on an article, something I've done many times before. I was interested in your information that she changed her surname to Deerbon when she married, as her husband appears to have retained his. Please don't delete properly referenced information, just because you think it irrelevant; often such details prove invaluable to other interested editors. And congratulations: you've made it an interesting and useful article. Doug butler (talk) 07:45, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Doug, query of plagiarism is happily withdrawn. After a paranoid morning it dawned on me that someone out there was trying to help. In a story in which nearly all the players have double identities, every sentence represents hours of work. I believe I have restored all your discoveries (except a newspaper typo for Deerbon's family name). If not, please put them back. I would love to know, for instance, if Deerbon really went to the Slade School; at present we only have her word for it. Erictimewell (talk) 21:29, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * No worries. I'm intrigued with the surname Eeg, which I guess is Scandinavian. Her mother was certainly surnamed Eeg, as was her brother Harry (thumbnail picture of mother and son in one of the genealogy websites), but whether she was born before or after marriage to Mr. Eeg is moot. My guess is that Una got sick of people querying such a non-Anglo surname. I would.Doug butler (talk) 21:56, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * One reference chooses its words carefully. "311 Collins Street, Melbourne where she advertised herself as late of the Slade School, London and the Michigan Art School, Chicago." In other words, believe this if you will. Of course the Michigan School of Art is in Michigan, not Chicago. Erictimewell (talk) 00:44, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

What's missing
There seems to be a mass of extraneous detail about Deerbon's marriages and children. Rather than overload the narrative I have given just the basics; she is notable as an artist. On the other hand, there seems to be no published material on her post-war career as a potter, teacher and businesswoman. Something similar goes for critical evaluation of her work, which seems to have slid from swoons to yawns, at least until the chequebooks started to wave in the 2010s.

RAF Twinwood Farm

Royal Air Force Twinwood Farm or more simply RAF Twinwood Farm is a former Royal Air Force satellite station located 4 mi north of Bedford, Bedfordshire, England. For the majority of World War II, the airfield was home to RAF night fighters.

Royal Air Force use
Twinwood Farm opened in mid 1941 when the RAF began to use the grassed field. By April 1942 it had three concrete runways and additional temporary buildings.

From then until the end of the war the Bristol Blenheims, Bristol Beaufighters, Bristol Beauforts, Douglas Bostons and de Havilland Mosquitoes of No. 51 Operational Training Unit used 'Twinwoods', as it was generally known.

In March 1943 North American Mustangs belonging to 164, 169, 239 and 208 Squadrons RAF engaged in Operation Spartan which occurred between 1 and 12 March 1943 was conducted across southern and central England to test a wide range of procedures and tactics of British and Canadian Forces.

Units

 * No. 26 Squadron RAF
 * No. 268 Squadron RAF
 * No. 613 Squadron RAF
 * No. 169 Squadron RAF
 * No. 239 Squadron RAF
 * No. 164 Squadron RAF
 * No. 14 Service Flying Training School RAF
 * No. 19 Air Crew Holding Unit
 * No. 2837 Squadron RAF Regiment
 * Airborne Interception Conversion Flight RAF

United States Army Air Forces use
In 1944 the airfield was transferred to the U.S. Eighth Air Force and operated in conjunction with the nearby RAF Thurleigh.

Major Glenn Miller, U.S. Army (Air Corps)
Glenn Miller served as a major in the US Army Air Forces and commanded the Army Air Forces Band (Special). At the request of General Eisenhower, Miller and his unit deployed to Europe during June 1944 for the missions of allied radio broadcasting and personal appearances. They were stationed with the Eighth Air Force Service Command (VIII AFSC) near Bedford for the purpose of broadcasting from the BBC facilities there, although the unit also broadcast from London. Meanwhile, they performed at many air bases across the UK.

By December 1944, SHAEF was moving the unit from England to France, and ordered Miller ahead to complete arrangements. Scheduled flights from Bovingdon were canceled due to bad weather in France. On December 15, 1944, Miller accepted an invitation from Lt. Col. Norman Baessell of the VIII AFSC to ride with him to France aboard his UC-64 piloted by Flight Officer Stuart Morgan. Miller's travel orders did not authorise him to board a "casual" flight and he did not report his intentions to his chain of command, so SHAEF was unaware of Miller's whereabouts. Although the RAF Training Unit at Twinwood had stood down, the aerodrome was open. At 13:45 Morgan landed at Twinwood, boarded Baessell and Miller, and took off at 13:55. The UC-64 and its occupants were never seen again.

On January 20, 1945, an Eighth Air Force Board of Inquiry determined that the airplane went down over the English Channel due to a combination of human error, mechanical failure and weather. Remains of the UC-64 have never been found and Major Glenn Miller remains Missing In Action to the present day. The names of all three missing servicemen are inscribed in the Tablets of the Missing at Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial. Major Miller is listed as Alton G. Miller.

Current use
The airfield closed in June 1945.

The site is now home to the Twinwood Arena, a large natural amphitheatre which plays host to various music festivals promoted by Twinwood Events including the Rhythm Festival.

Glenn Miller Museum
The Glenn Miller Museum is located in the restored control tower and features displays about Glenn Miller, RAF Twinwood Farm, and the Second World War.

Other buildings house different displays including: The group of museums are also known as Twinwood Airfield Museum, and are open seasonally.
 * Twinwood Aviation Museum - featuring uniforms and artifacts recovered from German and Allied aircraft crash sites, as well as British aviation units and life in Britain during the war.
 * Rooms of a 1940s family home
 * Axis Museum - recreation of a German bunker, Russian and German artillery and weapons, and a display about Winston Churchill and the British royal family
 * Fire Service Museum - recreated 1940s wartime fire station with uniforms, equipment and vehicles
 * Displays of military vehicles

Banasura Hill Resort

Banasura Hill Resort is a nature resort in Wayanad District of North Kerala, India; located 37 km away from Kalpetta, the district headquarters. It stands at an altitude of 3200 ft above sea level on a 35 acre plot amidst the mountains of the Western Ghats declared as one of the traditionally preserved sites in the world by UNESCO.

Etymology
The resort is so named because it is located at the foot of the Banasura Hill which is the second highest mountain in Wayanad that often attracts climbers to attempt to reach the summit. Besides this, the Banasura Sagar Dam, which lies just 18 km from the resort and shares its architectural antecedents also had an influence in naming the resort.

Architecture
The resort's architectural design follows a construction based on rammed earth. The various living structures within the resort complex is constructed using mud excavated from the very site where it stands on. The main building has an area of nearly 20,000 square foot spread over two floors, and is made entirely out of mud, with a roof of bamboo and coconut palm fronds.

BBC News considers it as a mud haven – India's only "earth" resort and possibly the largest of its kind in Asia.

The idea behind Banasura
A considerable amount of research went in before deciding on the type of architecture to be used in construction. "Earth" architecture was chosen because it would cause the least amount of ecological damage while blending harmoniously with the micro environment around the site. "Earth" (mud) that is used for construction can be recycled indefinitely or left to disintegrate without causing any environmental degradation.

Research also threw up striking examples of large earthen structures that had withstood the test of time and survived for centuries. The Great Mosque of Djenné in Mali built in 1907, the Citadel of Rayen in Iran built during the Parthian rule (248 BC–224 AD); and the ancient city of Shibam in Yemen built in the 2nd century A.D are some such structures.

Inspired by these examples, rammed earth (or pise) was chosen as the architecture to be adopted for constructing the resort. This construction technique was developed in ancient China around 2,000 B.C and used predominantly to build protective walls around small settlements. The Great Wall of China is one of the best examples where rammed earth was used. Closer to the resort, the Banasura Sagar Dam, which is India’s largest earthen dam, and the second largest in Asia, also prompted adoption of this eco-friendly design.

Size and challenges
Fairly large single-storied earthen structures are common in different parts of the world, but building a two-storied structure of such enormous proportions as that of the main building at the resort, was quite a challenge. Since the building was designed without any concrete pillars, extra attention had to be paid to load bearing and load balancing aspects to ensure stability.

Climatic conditions are a major concern while building earthen structures. Typically, earthen buildings are found in areas where the climate is dry and arid. Wayanad, where Banasura Hill Resort is located, has a tropical wet climate – also known as a tropical monsoon climate – with an annual average rainfall of well over 2,300mm. While the heavy monsoon rains are responsible for the tropical rain forests and the rich bio-diversity found in these parts, building a rammed colossal earth structure under such climatic conditions is a challenge. Despite this, construction of the main building was completed within 18 months.

Indigenous sustainable architecture
Banasura Hill Resort makes optimal use of environmental resources. As it is built using mud; the structures of the resort gel seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The design itself contributes actively to energy conservation. The thick earthen walls provide thermal insulation, keeping the interiors cool during the day and warm and cozy during the night, obviating the need for air-conditioning. The ambience that the interiors of the earthen structures provide is one of cool comfort.

Environmental conservation
Being an Eco Resort, Banasura Hill Resort has taken measures to conserve the ecological balance of the place and preserve its natural heritage and biodiversity. For example, Guadua bamboo saplings have been planted in and around the resort to create a bio-fencing. Its environmental benefits include regulating water levels, absorbing huge amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, producing oxygen, preventing soil erosion and conserving bio diversity. Also planted in thousands are seedlings of the highly aromatic Vetiver grass whose cluster roots run vertically like a mesh to a depth of almost 5m, effectively preventing soil erosion and arresting water run-off. These measures help to conserve the ecological balance of the place and preserve its natural heritage and biodiversity.

Plantations at the resort
The resort stands in the middle of a Tea estate. Large areas have also been devoted to the cultivation of pepper, coffee and arecanut. Tall Rosewood and Eucalyptus trees are a common sight throughout the resort.

Talk:Physics Study Guide/Linear motion

Have vectors been introduced already when this page is presented? If not, then the implied use of vector notation (bold variables) will make little sense to the students.

I always preferred to start from F=ma since it allows introduction of "real-world" situations. Even without calculus you can introduce pushing a cart, throwing a ball, etc. As written, I fear that the only problem that can be intruduced is droping a ball in one dimension. The next situation (multiple objects, spacecraft, etc) follows more naturally from the force based discussion. I also like to introduce Newton at his point to illustrate that science is a series of "standing on the shoulders of giants" actions.

Evelien: Interestingly enough, I have started a textbook on Physics in Dutch recently, and Newton and Galilei are exactly my starting points. I think I will be watching this English language parallel of my own effort closely in the future. My intended audience is somewhat younger though: >12 or (bright) >10 year olds will be my audience...

1 Displacement, velocity, and acceleration, also known as linear motion or kinematics

The title should NOT merely duplicate the names of subheaders.

--<IP_ADDRESS> 04:31, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)

small comments
1) I guess x(e) should be x(t)

2) you might mention that whenever you use v at a time t or a at a time t you are using the instantaneous forms. <IP_ADDRESS> 21:40, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

3) The graphic showing the Cartesian Coordinates, shows a mistake: the "y" axis actually corresponds to the "z" axis and the shown "z" axis it is actually the "y" axis. Please re-edit the graphic and show the right one, because it is misleading -Sherpa2007

Confusion between Displacement and Direction
Under the section of "Displacement," I found this confusing sentence.

Calculate the distance you traveled along each of these segments, and then add all your results together.

Shouldn't that bold-faced distance actually be displacement, as noted later in paragraph? Please correct me if I am wrong, but it seemed to me that displacement would be the most logical answer.

Further note: the whole sentences about distance and displacement are ill-posed since they fail to note that distance is a scalar whereas displacement is a vector.

Additionally, should it be noticed that displacements are independent of coordinate systems, whereas positions are not?

section: "Constant acceleration" / first Box
The first box in the section "Constant acceleration" currently displays the special case of zero acceleration (dv/dt=0 m s^-2). It should be changed to display the general case of constant acceleration. To do so one could simply switch the "v" with an "a" and adjust the units, or else keep the "v" and exchange the zero with "const." (as this would fit the description given right above the box more closely).

Is anybody interested in this student essay?
I have my students write projects on Wikiversity and Miraheze, and most are of mediocre quality. But this one needs to be published somewhere on a Wikimedia Foundaton wiki:
 * https://wright100.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

If you are interested, tell me where to put it and how you would like it formatted.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 15:14, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

St. Thomas Aquinas Church (Palo Alto, California)

Started in 1901 and completed in 1902, St. Thomas Aquinas Church is the oldest church in Palo Alto, California and is a registered historic landmark. Its distinctive Carpenter Gothic Victorian style makes it a signature building for the downtown area.

The church is located just three blocks south of University Avenue. At the corner of Waverley and Homer Avenues, it's at the northern edge of the historic Professorville neighborhood of the city. The church was used as a location in the Hal Ashby film Harold and Maude (1971).

St. Thomas Aquinas Parish also includes two other churches, Our Lady of the Rosary Church and St. Albert the Great Church, both also in Palo Alto. The three parishes, as well as St. Aloysius Church in Palo Alto and the Newman Center and St. Ann Chapel at Stanford University were merged into one parish in 1987. St. Aloysius was closed in 1994, the Newman Center at Stanford was reestablished as St. Dominic Parish in 1997, and St. Ann was sold in 1999.

As of the present St. Thomas Aquinas Church is the parish church of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish, which also has two chapels of ease.

 * It seems to have an extended sense; one b.g.c. hit says, "[…] whose outcome, […], was to form the basis for what much later would be identified as the ‘Italian style’ and the ‘made in Italy.’", and another uses the term "the ‘made in Italy’ sectors" with the gloss "textiles and clothing".

Neeraj Kanwar

Neeraj Kanwar (born 6 September 1971) is an Indian businessman. He is the vice chairman and managing director of Apollo Tyres.

Education
Kanwar was educated at St. Columba's School, Delhi and thereafter graduated in engineering from Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, US.

Career
Kanwar started his career with a training stint at American Express Bank in New York City. He thereafter returned to India and started Global Finance Ltd, a non-bank financial institution which shut after three years. In 1985 Kanwar became the third generation of his family to join Apollo Tyres, which was launched by his grandfather Raunaq Singh and later taken over by his father Onkar Kanwar. His first position in the company was in the sales team.

In 2002, Kanwar took over daily operations from his father. Kanwar is the force behind Apollo's international acquisitions. When the company announced its acquisition of Dunlop Tyres, South Africa in 2006 it simultaneously announced Kanwar's elevation as the company's Managing Director. The company later sold most of its South African operations to Sumitomo Rubber Industries in 2013, retaining one plant in Durban.

In 2009, under the aegis of Kanwar, Apollo bought out Vredestein Banden in the Netherlands, thus giving the company a foothold in Europe. Apollo bought Reifencom GmbH in Germany in 2015, giving it access to distribution channels across Europe. After a failed takeover attempt of Cooper Tires in 2013, Kanwar decided to focus on organic growth by investing in new greenfield facilities in Chennai, India and Budapest, Hungary. The Hungary plant was inaugurated in 2017.

Personal life
In partnership with Amit Burman (vice chairman of Dabur), Kanwar bought an Italian restaurant called Scalini in London in 2014. Kanwar and Burman met during their University days in Pennsylvania and remained friends. Apart from his business activities, Kanwar serves as the vice chairman of the British Asian Trust in India, a charity founded by Prince Charles.

Neeraj Kanwar is the second son of Onkar Kanwar and has an elder brother, Raaja Kanwar. He married Simran Kanwar and they have two children, son Jai Karan and daughter Sayra Taru. In 2013, he relocated to London to focus on the attempted buyout of Cooper Tires. Though the deal did not work out, Kanwar settled in London to focus on Apollo's international operations and better manage its international investors. Kanwar resides in London's Mayfair neighbourhood.

Trompe-l'œil (mural)

Trompe-l'œil is a 112-meter-long color field painting created in 1998 by Maria Bettina Cogliatti. It overlooks the Katastrophenbucht ("disaster bay") in Zug, Switzerland.

Description
Cogliatti painted Trompe-l'œil in 1998 with acrylic paint on the concrete wall of the Zug Vorstadtbrücke bridge.

In this artwork, she juxtaposed three warm and two cold color fields (or vice versa). 21 color tones are set in contrast to one another in such a way that the colors run from warm yellow-orange on the side of the Vorstadtquai to rich purple, green and red, and finally towards the Alpenquai into a cool blue. Thus, they simulate a colored sky, from dusk to dawn. Cogliatti arranged the colored surfaces in order to create illusionistic interruptions, niches and windows in the wall and thus create an imaginary living space, a “colorful city”.

Trompe-l'œil complements the color of the colorful Vorstadt houses that are still standing (since the 1887 Vorstadtkatastrophe) and thus brings the sunken row of houses to new life. "The colorful reflections from the wall to the ceiling and to the floor create an aquarium feeling on hot days ..." The sequence of colors is also reminiscent of the course of the day, from dusk to dawn. "The large open areas on the mural [...] form an ideal platform for various messages." "There is a place in Zug that leads directly into the soul of young people. A kind of physical Facebook [...] - the great colorful wall in the disaster bay, between Rössliwiese and Alpenquai."

History
In the 1970s, Hans Potthof painted the 112-meter concrete wall of the Vorstadtbrücke bridge with the assistance of children; but graffiti destroyed the painting during decades.

In 1995, Cogliatti instructed 55 children to paint the same concrete wall on behalf of the Zuger Schul– und Stadtbauamt (″Zug school and municipal building authorities″). The leitmotiv theme for the painting work was "Living space", the painting was mainly in shades of blue – allusions to the houses that had sunk into the lake there in 1887. The wall painting was inaugurated on July 6, 1995, one day after the complete renovation of the Rigiplatz above, which is reminiscent of the same disaster.

After the painting had been repeatedly covered in graffiti, the city commissioned Cogliatti to redesign the wall in 1998. With the help of a flat painter and over a period of approximately 140 hours, the artist implemented “her own sculptural and color visions”. One of Cogliatti's artistic goals, among others, was to use painterly means to give the impression of a third dimension. She therefore gave her work the name Trompe-l'œil, which means "eye delusion"; for this, the dominance of the window hatches in the wall had to be broken. Cogliatti completed the work in early August 1998.

Kalaba-X

Kalaba-X is a simple constructed language created by the American linguist Kenneth L. Pike to help with the teaching of translation techniques.

Each sentence in Kalaba-X has a fixed structure, consisting of three sentence parts: verb, object, subject, or more exactly, predicate (affirmation or assertion of a general status fact or occurring event), object (that indicates or restricts where the action applies or takes place, or allows qualifying it more precisely), subject (any triggering condition under which the fact can occur, and without which the predicate would not have occurred).

Under such definition, the grammatical structure of other languages can be more easily compared to each other, using Kalaba-X as a formal intermediate language for studying the language semantic (for example, this theoretical model does not define a grammatical difference between a noun and a verb, or between a verb and an adjective, as it is found in most European languages, because most nouns or adjectives of European languages can also be a predicate by themselves).

Each of these three parts, which are linked semantically rather than grammatically, can be modified. By focusing on the semantic rather than the grammatical structure of the source or target language, this constructed language can be used as an intermediate tool for producing better translations, notably between languages that have very different grammatical structures and where the semantic is organized differently into one or more subordinated sentences.

For example, the English sentence "This picture is very beautiful." would be structured in Kalaba-X as if it were written "Beautiful very, picture this, me." where the subject (me) is explicitly given in Kalaba-X rather than being subjectively implied by the context. Under such translation, the effective semantic of the sentence is "I (find that) this picture is very beautiful." where the author of the sentence is responsible for this affirmation. The English grammar may hide the fact that the "beautiful" adjective translates the concept of "enjoying", a true verb, so a simpler Kalaba-X sentence would be better "Enjoy a lot, picture this, me." But the analysis does not stop there, because Kalaba-X features no pronouns, i.e. no ambiguous substitutes; a more exact analysis would give "Enjoy a lot, picture here, speaker."

But other translations would be possible to indicate whether the opinion is personal or admitted more generally, by adding modifiers (considered adjectives in Kalaba-X) to the subject part (considered a noun) to condition the sentence, or to the object part (also considered a noun) to extend the scope of the predicate. Adding more modifiers in Kalaba-X to the initial verb part of such sentence can make the semantic more precise by including various modes (including tense, variability, recurrence, progress, negation...) but also logical composition relations like unions, intersections and exclusions).

Psi Chi

Psi Chi (ΨΧ) is a college student honor society in psychology with international outreach founded in 1929 at the University of Kansas in the United States.

Psi Chi is one of the largest honor societies in the United States, with more than 1,160 chapters. Psi Chi has more than 800,000 members from chapters in the United States, Canada, and multiple other countries. Notable members of the organization include B.F. Skinner, Philip Zimbardo, Jon Stewart, and Phil McGraw.

Psi Chi is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies and is an affiliate of the American Psychological Association and the Association for Psychological Science.

Founding
Psi Chi was founded by Frederick Howell Lewis and Edwin B. Newman, psychology students at the University of Kansas. Lewis and Newman first thought of a national organization for psychology students while working on research late one night in 1927. Over the next two years, they wrote to psychology faculty and students at various universities and formed discussion groups with other students. Psi Chi's first official meeting was on September 4, 1929, at the Ninth International Congress of Psychology. Psi Chi's original name was Sigma Pi Sigma, but it was learned that the name was already in use by an honor society in physics. "Psi Chi" was chosen as the honor society's official name at its second annual meeting in 1930 because of the name's similarity to the word "psychology".

Membership
Membership is open to undergraduate, graduate, alumni, and faculty members who make the study of psychology one of their major interests and who meet the minimum qualifications according to Psi Chi's Become a Member webpage, which is based on the Society's Constitution. Membership is attained through application and acceptance at the local chapter level. Psychology majors who attend two-year junior or community colleges may join Psi Beta, Psi Chi's sister society.

Awards and grants
Psi Chi rewards its members annually with over $400,000 in various awards and grants programs. In addition to awards and grants, Psi Chi began its first scholarship program in the spring of 2015. Undergraduate and graduate scholarships are now available.

Psi Chi Journal of Psychological Research
Psi Chi publishes a quarterly peer-reviewed journal featuring original research conducted by undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty mentors. To increase dissemination across the psychological community, all articles are available free online. The journal is indexed in EBSCO, and in PsycINFO, a database service of the American Psychological Association with over 3 million records of peer-reviewed scholarly literature.

Eye on Psi Chi Magazine
Psi Chi also publishes a quarterly magazine, which features career and graduate school advice, updates in popular areas of psychology, and special announcements to keep readers connected with the organization. Notable authors and distinguished interviews include Robert Sternberg, Susan Fiske, Anthony Greenwald, Florence Denmark, and Phillip Zimbardo. All Eye articles are available free online.

Activities
Psi Chi members may attend national and regional conventions, held yearly. Some chapters provide information on graduate study in psychology and assist members in the graduate school application process. Tutoring, community service, and social events are also common activities of Psi Chi chapters.

Structure and governance
Psi Chi, a federally recognized, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is governed by the board of directors. The board of directors is composed of three presidents (President, President-Elect, Past-President), six regional vice-presidents (East, Midwest, Rocky Mountain, Southeast, Southwest, West), and an executive director. The presidents and regional vice-presidents are elected by Psi Chi chapters.

Regional vice-presidents serve two-year terms and may serve up to a total of two consecutive terms (four years). Regional vice-president elections are held in odd-numbered years for the Eastern, Rocky Mountain, and Western Regions, and in even-numbered years for the Midwestern, Southeastern, and Southwestern Regions.

President candidates must have served at least one full two-year term as a regional vice-president. If elected by chapters to become president, the candidate becomes the Society's President-Elect for one year, President the following year, and then the Past-President the year after.

Headquarters
The Psi Chi Headquarters fulfills the needs of the society as directed by the leadership of the board of directors. Headquarters staff are composed of an executive director, director of membership and development, director of communications, director of finance, and director of information systems. As needed, the board of directors creates new staff positions to help better meet the needs of and provide benefits to members of the society.

The title of the "executive director" position has changed over the years: secretary-treasurer (1929–54), executive secretary (1954–68), executive director (1969–91), executive officer (1991–2003), chief operating officer (2004–present).

Executive directors
Ruth Hubbard Cousins (born May 21, 1920) was one of the society's most famous executive directors, serving for more than 33 years (December 1958 – October 1991). She died on January 11, 2007.

After Cousins retired as executive director, Kay Wilson (born September 21, 1939) took over as executive officer (the title changed, but her position still functioned as executive director) from October 1991 until her death in June 2003, of cancer.

When Kay Wilson died in 2003, the national council reviewed the position of executive officer and decided to split the position's function into two positions: "rector" (a new position with broader outreach and strategic planning functions) and "executive officer" (the position with office management functions that had been in place since the beginning). A search began in 2003, and Virginia Andreoli Mathie, who had been a professor of psychology at James Madison University (Virginia), was hired as the first executive director in the newly created position. She began on July 1, 2004, and served until June 30, 2008. Dr. Mathie was responsible for coordinating with other psychological organizations, long-term strategic planning, and assisting universities applying for a Psi Chi chapter.

Beginning July 1, 2008, Martha S. Zlokovich, from Southeast Missouri State University and a former Psi Chi national president, began serving as Psi Chi's second executive director. Dr. Zlokovich served for 15 years until her retirement.

Psi Chi's third executive director, Dr. Marianne Fallon, began on August 1, 2023.

Paula Miller, who was the organization's previous membership and awards director (1997–2003), was hired as the executive officer in 2003, and served in that position managing the Psi Chi Headquarters in Chattanooga, TN until 2007. In March 2007, Lisa Mantooth, formerly of the Cleveland, Tennessee, Red Cross Chapter, began as executive officer and served through November 2009.

In 2010, Michele Rumpf continued in the executive officer role but the title changed to Chief Operating Officer. She served until 2015. Martha S. Zlokovich, PhD, was named interim chief operating officer in the fall of 2015.
