Canvas 2: Akane-iro no Palette

Canvas 2: Akane Iro no Palette (Canvas2 〜茜色のパレット〜), also known as just Canvas 2, is a Japanese visual novel developed by F&C FC01, a brand of F&C, released for Windows on April 23, 2004. The game was later ported to the PlayStation 2 by Kadokawa Shoten, on January 26, 2006. AiCherry produced a DVD Player Game version of Canvas 2 on November 28, 2008. An iOS version was released on January 12, 2013. A fan disc called Innocent Colors ~Canvas 2 Fan Disc~ was released for Windows on September 24, 2004. The game is a sequel to Canvas ~Sepia-iro no Motif~. Two other spin off games part of the Canvas series were released by F&C.

A 24-episode anime television series called Canvas 2: Niji Iro no Sketch (Canvas2 〜虹色のスケッチ〜) was produced by studio Zexcs, and licensed by Kadokawa Pictures USA in North America. It aired on eight different channels in Japan between October 3, 2005, and March 27, 2006, and was streamed on Crunchyroll. Two manga adaptations were published by Kadokawa Shoten, and three light novels have also been published, as well as multiple drama CDs.

Gameplay
Canvas 2 is a visual novel in which the player assumes the role of Hiroki Kamikura. Much of its gameplay is spent reading the text that appears on the screen, which represents the story's narrative and dialogue. The text is accompanied by character sprites, which represent who Hiroki is talking to, over background art. Throughout the game, the player encounters CG artwork at certain points in the story, which take the place of the background art and character sprites. Canvas 2 follows a branching plot line with multiple endings, and depending on the decisions that the player makes during the game, the plot will progress in a specific direction.

There are seven main plot lines that the player will have the chance to experience, one for each of the heroines in the story. Throughout gameplay, the player is given multiple options to choose from, and text progression pauses at these points until a choice is made. Some decisions can lead the game to end prematurely and offer an alternative ending to the plot. To view all plot lines in their entirety, the player will have to replay the game multiple times and choose different choices to further the plot to an alternate direction. Throughout gameplay, there are scenes depicting Hiroki and a given heroine having sexual intercourse, except in the PlayStation 2 and iOS versions, where these scenes cannot be viewed.

Plot
The series focuses on the lives of some students and teachers at Nadesico Academy both at school and their private lives. The main character of the series is Kamikura Hiroki, who lives with his younger cousin Elis. Hiroki is training to become a full-fledged art teacher while also trying to take care of Elis. When his childhood friend Kiri starts working at the school, drama begins to flare as he has to juggle his work, private life, and the feelings for these two important girls.

Performink

PerformInk is a Chicago theater and entertainment industry website, which began in 1989 as a bi-weekly newspaper. It included show openings and reviews, audition listings, and industry and union news for Chicago actors, directors, dancers, designers, and other entertainment professionals.

History
PerformInk started a bi-weekly trade paper for the theatre and film industries as a quarterly newsletter in 1987 in the back of Act I Bookstore. Sometime in 1989, the owner of the bookstore, Rick Levine, started printing on a bi-weekly basis and on newsprint. Carrie Kaufman was hired in June 1990 as a typist for 10 hours a week. By the end of 1990, Levine presented Carrie with the ultimatum of either making the paper profitable by the end of 1991 or closing the presses on it. It didn't make a profit that year, but it did almost triple its revenues and by the end of 1991, they were negotiating a purchase. In February 1992, PerformInk, Inc., headed by Kaufman, was created. On June 19, 2009, PerformInk published its final print edition as it switched to an all-online format. By November 2011, PerformInk published its last web update. On March 23, 2016, the website re-launched under the new ownership of Lotus Theatricals LLC, headed by Chicago theater professionals Jason Epperson and Abigail Trabue when Kaufman transferred the publications rights to them.

Contents of newspaper
Performink provided a wide range of news and information for professionals in the Chicago theatre industry. Theatre news, theatre business and Chicago industry personalities were just a few of the areas covered and discussed in each issue. Subjects affecting the careers of not only Chicago performers, but also directors, producers, designers, filmmakers and dancers were always PerformInk's focus.

There were regular columns discussing specific facets of business for theater professionals. These columns include "Money and Taxes", which looked at tax and financial matters unique to the business of performing, by Greg Mermel, CPA; "Comedy Bites," which looked at the improv industry in Chicago; and "Out Takes," a behind the scenes look at independent film in Chicago. PerformInk was one of the primary sources for actors to get information regarding auditions. The print edition of PerformInk had a readership of over 12,000, about half of which were subscribers.

PerformInk also printed "The Book: An Actor's Guide to Chicago." The Book contained information about the business of living as an actor in Chicago, in addition to acting as a directory of services and products for industry professionals.

UPD
The user Hdsv69 wants to invent the party name. Unión Progreso y Democracia = Union Progress and Democracy; Unión, Progreso y Democracia = Union, Progress and Democracy; Unión del Progreso y la Democracia = Progress and Democracy Union or Union of Progress and Democracy; Unión por el Progreso y la Democracia or Unión para el Progreso y la Democracia = Union for Progress and Democracy. And what's more, the party uses Unión, Progreso y Democracia in official documents and a seat. It's impossible which Progress and Democracy Union can be a well translation from Spanish to English.Sussie17 (talk) 10:53, 5 April 2014 (UTC) I consider this edition is vandalism. Hdsv69 is changing the word union for alliance due to a wrong interpretation.Sussie17 (talk) 11:07, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

 * The edits to Rosa Diez are clearly not vandalism. WP:VANDALISM says: "any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism." In this case, you blanked the requested move. That's unhelpful and is not the way to proceed. You should let the requested move run its course and argue your case there on the article's talk page. Valenciano (talk) 11:48, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Hi, Valenciano. This is to let you know I have requested a Sockpuppet investigation into Javier93h/Sussie17/<IP_ADDRESS> (my first ever request of that kind). Saludos, --Hvd69 (talk) 10:53, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

UPyD
Hola, sé que sabes hablar español así que te escribo en este idioma. Por favor, pon algo de cordura en la discusión del título del partido. Hay pruebas de que unión se refiere a la unidad de España porque Mikel Buesa e Irene Lozano así lo han dicho. Rosa Díez ha escrito un libro en el que pone el nombre del partido con coma y ha sido usado con coma en al menos una sede del partido y en documentos oficiales como en la querella contra Bankia. A ello hay que añadir que el hecho de que el partido use mayoritariamente el nombre sin coma no quiere decir que sea una unión del progreso y la democracia que es el único argumento que tiene Hdsv69, es una interpretación personal suya que además sabemos que es mentira por las fuentes presentadas de Mikel Buesa e Irene Lozano aclarando el nombre del partido. El relativizar tanto la verdad demostrada y empeñarse en que el artículo tenga un título equivocado a sabiendas es también un comportamiento bastante disruptivo. Me gustaría pedirte que fueses tajante con Hdvs69 pues no tiene ningún sentido su comportamiento. También me gustaría que se mantuviese esta información que voy a poner porque está demostrado y pone fin a la discusión:

Mikel Buesa in 2007 and Irene Lozano in 2013 have explained the meaning of the 3 concepts which form party’s denomination: Union because of their defense of “the unity of Spain”, Progress because of their adscription to “progressivism” as ideology and Democracy because they declare themselves “radical democrats”. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:22, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

 * (English translation below) Javier, como le dije en la página de UPyD, creo que tiene razon. Pero ud está indefinidamente bloqueado. Eso significa que no debe editar cualquier página hasta que se retire ese bloque. Para que esto suceda, debe detener el uso de proxies y cuentas alternativas para evadir el bloqueo. Mientras usted continua haciendo esto, se revertirán todas sus ediciones. Para editar de nuevo, en primer lugar, ud debe apelar su bloque. Debe aceptar que ha equivocado al utilizar cuentas alternativas, se comprometen a utilizarla sólo una cuenta, evite la edición hasta que se retire el bloque y evitar atacar a otros usuarios, como lo hizo en la Wikipedia en español. No es seguro que dicho recurso sería un éxito, pero es su única opción.

 * Javier, as I told you on the UPyD page, I think you have an argument. But you are indefinitely blocked. That means you should not edit any page until that block is lifted. For that to happen, you must stop the use of proxies and alternative accounts to evade the block. While you continue to do that, all your edits will be reverted, as is common with blocked users. To edit again, firstly you must successfully appeal your block. You should accept that you were wrong to use alternative accounts, commit to using only one account, avoid editing until the block is removed and avoid attacking other users, as you did on the Spanish Wikipedia. It is not certain that such an appeal would be successful, but it is your only option. Valenciano (talk) 05:44, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Pero da igual si me desbloquean o no, tú sabes que el comportamiento de Hsdv69 está perjudicando a la Wikipedia. Ha cambiado ya el nombre del partido sin haber finalizado la discusión. Los argumentos que ha empleado están en su contra pues ninguna traducción debería cambiar el significado del nombre del partido. Al permitir si quiera seguir dando la posibilidad a ese cambio únicamente porque a él le hubiese gustado más que UPyD no hubiese hecho referencia a la unidad de España en su nombre, se está induciendo a editar basándose en percepciones o en mentiras como es el caso. Porque él sabe que está equivocado, pero le da igual con tal de llevarme la contraria. Te vuelvo a pedir que finalices la discusión y que pongas tú mismo la edición que me has revertido, pues por muy bloquedo que esté un usuario si la edición que hace beneficia, ésta debe dejarse.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 08:40, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Very, very quickly as I'm a little busy in real life these days. I don't see Hsdv69 is breaking any rules. Also, Javier, please seek unblock. It will be easier all round, as otherwise any sock accounts that you create will just end up being reverted. Valenciano (talk) 16:59, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Barcelona (Spanish Congress Electoral District)
Hi, Valenciano. First of all, thank you for the appreciation. Now I'm answering your doubts:
 * It is not that I've removed the 2008 and 2004 results just to replace them with European election results. What happens is that I intend to upgrade the article so as to show tables for all general and European elections (since, while not electing any seats, the Ministry of the Interior also show a provincial map for those just as it does for general elections). However, it is so much work that I have to make it slowly: that's why you just saw results for the 2014 and 2009 European election and for the 2011 general election. I was making the table for the 2008 general election when you reverted most of my doings. And once I finish this comment I will make the table for 2004. Ideally, these Electoral District articles should show election results for at least general and European elections (that is, for nationwide elections). I feel it is just unnecesary to create separate articles to show results for different elections, so that is why I'm doing it in the same place. Cheers. Impru20 (talk) 21:01, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello, I'm not convinced at the wisdom of including Euro election results there (why those but not Catalan parliamentary elections, which are undoubtedly more important to the average citizen?) It seems like stats clutter and against WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Ultimately, however, I know from experience how long those tables take to create, so I'd hate for your good work to be lost. Let's discuss it at Talk:Barcelona_(Spanish_Congress_Electoral_District), to see if we can find a solution. Valenciano (talk) 21:16, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I did not say that Catalan parliamentary election are not to be included; just that I'm focusing on general and European elections (to keep it simple). With time, maybe both regional and local elections can be included too (specially in the case of Catalonia, where parties are rising and collapsing at an incredibly fast pace that should definitely not be ignored). I just want to make it step by step however; I don't know how far I can go in this respect, since all these articles are called "(Spanish Congress Electoral District)". Changing their names to just "Province name (Electoral District)" would work much better (specially seeing how those districts are used, either for awarding seats or for showing results, for a variety of elections, ranging from general to regional, as well as locals). In the end, what I hope is that we can have for Spanish elections such detailed information as have, for example, UK single-member districts, in a single article.
 * I'm about to finish the 2004 table, so once I'm done with it I'll discuss this in the talk page. Cheers! Impru20 (talk) 21:30, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt then. I was going to suggest for now putting the European ones in a separate section to the general elections, but I see that you've already done that. Regarding the UK ones, actually the standard is to have separate articles for the separate elections. See for example Belfast_West which has four articles for four separate elections or Airdrie and Shotts (Scottish Parliament constituency) versus Airdrie and Shotts (UK Parliament constituency). While it would be great to have results for all elections in one place, I fear that would result in an article too large to work, as for any province of Spain you could have no less than five separate sets of elections included in it: European, national parliament lower house, national parliament upper house (the senate), regional parliament and municipal elections. That's a lot to cram on to one page. Valenciano (talk) 21:45, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * About the UK ones, in that regard it is a different case. Actually there is just two articles for two separate elections (the other two being former incarnations of that electoral district), but in the UK it has sense: electoral boundaries for the House of Commons and for the regional Assembly can be different (see Scotland, for example) and I think it could be theoretically possible to maintain the electoral district for one election and to modify it or to remove it altogether (either by splitting it or by having it join another district) for the other. In Spain this is not the case: provinces are the electoral districts for most elections (except for the regional elections for the uniprovincial communities of Asturias and Murcia, where electoral districts are divisions smaller than the province, and for the Canary and Balearic Islands, whose districts are the islands themselves). In order to make this different you would require a constitutional reform in order to change the province's boundaries, which:
 * 1. None is actually predicted in this sense in the near future.
 * 2. If it happens, electoral districts would change for all elections, not just for one type of them. This would require creating a new article for the new district, which, however, would comprise all kinds of elections in the same way that I'm developing the Barcelona article.
 * While it is true that the article could contain a lot of info, there are ways so make it so that it doesn't look cluttered, i.e. separating elections by types, making the tables so that they show the main parties only, etc. Btw, don't take the upper house elections into account; results for those, due to their particular electoral system, are much more difficult to display on a table than the others (I've done a test in the 2011 general election article so to see if it is possible to display a fairly summarized version of the results, but I don't know how close this could be to OR so I'm even considering to revert it). Not talking that upper house elections are maybe even less important than European elections: the Senate in Spain is basically useless because everything passed there can be overriden by the Congress. Not even the Spanish Interior Ministry takes much consideration into showing detailed results for these in its webpage, so... Impru20 (talk) 22:26, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * The thing about the European election is not only related to its relative lack of importance, as reflected in the much lower turnout. It's that there is no Electoral district of Barcelona (EDB) for the European parliament. As you know, elections there take place as part of the nationwide Spain constituency. I agree with your point about the uselessness of the Spanish Senate, but if we are going to aim for a comprehensive EDB article, that has to go in, since Barcelona Province *is* an electoral district for that. So for such an article, we'd have to include both chambers of the national parliament and the Catalan parliament. The issue with adding European parliament elections and, for that matter, municipal elections, is that they don't belong in such an article and adding them takes away its focus from the electoral district. We'd need to expand the remit to Elections in Barcelona Province and I'm starting to think that that might be the best course, with an overview and links to relevant subarticles. To answer your concern earlier about duplication, I don't think that would be such a problem. The parent/overview article could be kept short, with just a summary of results and perhaps only the results of the most recent election and the various subarticles could go into more detail.

 * Regarding the difficulty of representing Senate results, the possibility is simply to report how many votes each candidate got and link to the relevant Limited voting article for an explanation of the voting system.

 * Anyway, for now, I would say go ahead and add the results you think best to the current article. In the end we can have a look and decide what the best article structure would be. Valenciano (talk) 16:57, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Tony Penikett
If you don't see a massive downplaying of his political career, including the complete and total annihilation of even the slightest acknowledgement that he had ever actually been Premier of Yukon at all, on three successive occasions after reverts by administrators, as serious enough to warrant taking whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the editor in question cannot access the article anymore, then I really don't know what to say. I'd be happy to downgrade it to "pending changes" at this time, but it was in no way my "responsibility" to have done so any sooner than this. Bearcat (talk) 07:32, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Yes, but there are numerous articles which that applies to, where one editor is on a POV crusade to add biased info or downplay or remove positive info. In cases like that, the editor gets warned then blocked if they persist and reverted when they reappear. Asking for more eyes on the article via venues like WP:BLPN also helps, if there are not enough people already monitoring the article. If all that fails then options like pending changes and semi protection are there. What doesn't get done, in my experience round here, is that an article gets indefinitely locked because of a short term POV push by one editor. Generally we try gradual steps before pressing the nuclear button. I'd suggest that yes, pending changes would be a better option here, though even there, I'm not even sure there's been enough sustained action by that editor that a group of editors watchlisting the article couldn't handle (I've watchlisted myself.)

Lesbian man
Re.

The source describes her as a lesbian woman when she was still a man.

So no, "It's impossible for a lesbian to be a man" is WP:OR not supported by the source.

The language in which the source is written is of no relevance: "De man die wist dat zij een vrouw was" and "Hij is een vrouw. Een lesbische vrouw." ("The man who knew she was a woman" and "He is a woman. A lesbian woman") as it is in the source, derived from Stoute's autobiography, are as strange in Dutch as they are in English, but this is what the source says, not something else. --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:04, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Hello Francis. Several problems here. The source seems to be a user's personal webpage. WP:SPS: says: "Anyone can create a personal web page or publish their own book, and also claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published media, such as ... personal websites ... are largely not acceptable as sources." So an unreliable source using a term which, in English, is redundant is not a reason to include it here.

 * The language used in the Wiki article is also unclear. "Transition in 1996, as a lesbian woman." Does that mean that she transitioned then? Unclear. From a lesbian or to a lesbian? Again not clear. Sorry, but needs reworded and a better source should also be found. Valenciano (talk) 10:48, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Actually, sorry just seen that that was published in a major Dutch newspaper, so my mistake on that, but the other points about clarity of language still remain. Valenciano (talk) 10:51, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * As this is an overview article, not elaborating too much on the specifics of each of the authors mentioned there, the wording should be as short as possible imho. What wording would you propose? --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:57, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Re. "Male to female transition in 1996, when she identified as a lesbian" — the "when" is OR. In fact the "when" is not known, failing more sources. In her 1999 autobiography she describes identifying as a "lesbian woman" before the physical transition (that is, if all that is correctly paraphrased by Doomen). "...1996, when she identified as a lesbian" not supported by the source. --Francis Schonken (talk) 11:07, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

 * The when doesn't mean that she started then, the same as saying "2002, when George Bush was President" wouldn't mean that he became President that year. But alright, we could say "1996, at which time she already identified as a lesbian"
 * No, "2002, when George Bush identified as a President" would be bad English to begin with, and an incorrect paraphrase of whatever source. --Francis Schonken (talk) 11:24, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

 * When doesn't mean that the person started at that point. Saying "when X started to identify as..." would be incorrect. I don't plan to edit the article any more as, looking at the article history, you've done really good work there, so I'll trust your judgement on the final wording.

 * Hello, in this case check the advice that people gave you on your talk page, basically, you shouldn't be creating an article about yourself. Someone else would have to create it and they could only do that if you met the notability guidelines. Effectively, not everyone can have a biography here, only people who meet Wikipedia's requirements for notability (see the links WP:BIO and WP:BASIC.) Unfortunately in your case, I've searched and all I can find about you is social network profiles on Facebook, vkontakte, linkedin and the like, none of which are sufficient. I hope though that you'll be able to contribute to Wikipedia in other ways. Valenciano (talk) 21:29, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Reverting
Although it is fine to undo+leave comment, you are not supposed to use rollback in this [case]. It gives the false impression you undo vandalism which you do not as my action has been specified in the summaries. --I'm the parasite (talk) 20:44, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

 * You're removing speedy deletion templates from a page that you created. Criteria_for_speedy_deletion explicitly says: "The creator of a page may not remove a speedy deletion tag from it. Only an editor who is not the creator of a page may do so. A creator who disagrees with the speedy deletion should instead click on the button which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag." So yes, you removing that template from the page is disruptive after you've been advised by two users not to do that. Furthermore, I don't see that the issue has been resolved. You've added two links to the page. One is to an American person born in 1926, who is clearly not the same as the subject of this article and the other is to a photography company located in the USA, which again, does not seem to be the subject of this article, let alone the photographer at the Royal Wedding. Also, some of the sentences in the article sound patently false: "his passion for photography led him from qualifying for Wimbledon in 1974 to being a frontline picture taker at the highly democratic Saudi Arabia general elections the same yeat - which the kind won with 100.8% of the vote." No one of that name qualified for Wimbledon in 1974 and there were no General elections in Saudi Arabia either. While accepting good faith is important, maintaining the integrity of this encyclopedia by stamping out obvious hoaxes is too. Valenciano (talk) 20:50, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Mircea Dridea

Mircea Dridea (born 7 April 1937) is a Romanian former football player and manager, who is the current honorary president of Liga I club Petrolul Ploiești.

Club career
Mircea Dridea was born on 7 April 1937 in Ploiești and at age 15 he was a category one chess player, being brought by his brother Virgil to play football in 1952 at the junior squads of Petrolul Ploiești where his first coach was Emil Avasilichioaie, in 1954 he worked with Manole Rădulescu and in 1955 Traian Ionescu came to the club and formed a generation of juniors which included Dridea, Constantin Tabarcea and Vasile Sfetcu which reached the national junior championship final which was lost in front of Universitatea Cluj. He made his debut for the senior team under coach Ilie Oană in October 1956 in a 2–1 away victory against Rapid București. He won two consecutive Divizia A titles in the 1957–58 and 1958–59 seasons, being used by Oană in 11 matches in which he scored 4 goals in the first one and in the second appearing in 18 games in which he scored 14 goals, being the top-goalscorer of the team. Dridea scored a hat-trick in the 6–1 victory against Siderurgistul Galați from the 1963 Cupa României Final and won another championship in the 1965–66 season, being used by coach Constantin Cernăianu in 25 games in which he scored 11 goals.

He started the 1973–74 Divizia A season as an assistant of Gheorghe Dumitrescu at Petrolul, but after finishing the first half of the season on the 16th position, Dumitrescu left the club and Dridea became the head coach of the team in the second half, however he could not save the team from relegating to Divizia B. He coached Petrolul Teleajen in Divizia C for almost two years, being close to promote it to Divizia B. He returned at Petrolul to lead them in the 1981–82 Divizia B season, helping the club promote to Divizia A. In the winter of 1983 the Moroccan Football Federation asked the Romanian Football Federation to send them four coaches, one of them being Dridea who went to coach FAR Rabat, leaving the club at 1983. He came back to Romania, working at Divizia B club, Prahova Ploiești which he helped avoid relegation. He returned for a third spell as coach at Petrolul after Petre Dragomir left the team after the first six games of the 1985–86 Divizia A, leading the team for two seasons. Dridea went to coach for a second spell in Morocco at Kénitra, afterwards returning to Romania at Progresul Brăila. He coached in the first half of the 1988–89 Divizia A season at Sportul Studențesc București, coaching in the second half at Oțelul Galați. In the following years he coached in the Romanian lower leagues at Flacăra Moreni, Metalul Plopeni which he helped promote to Divizia B and Metalul Filipeștii de Pădure with whom he earned a promotion to Divizia C after winning a play-off against Foresta Nehoiu, also having a spell in Egypt at Olympic Alexandria and ended his coaching career in Tunisia at Olympique de Médenine in 1997.

Electronics/Crystals

< ../Expanded Edition/

The vast majority of crystals used in electronics are piezoelectric crystals.

The piezoelectric effect (converting back and forth between electrical voltage and mechanical position) makes quartz crystals physically vibrate. The quartz crystal can be cut into the right shape and appropriately mounted so that it "rings" (vibrates) only at one precise frequency, useful for clock circuits.

Some quartz crystals are used as SAW filters.

PZT crystals are used in ultrasonic devices such as Medical ultrasonography. They use the piezoelectric effect to convert electrical energy to sound energy to send out a pulse, then convert the sound energy of the echo back to electrical energy.

other
(The atomic clocks in GPS satellites use the oscillations of cesium atoms in gas form as the time reference. That gives far better precision than any known crystal oscillator.)

Template talk:Portal Header

I object to the use of the term "faculty" at Wikiversity. Many English-speaking people will naturally assume that if there is a "Faculty" then there must be individual faculty members who are certified and appointed by an educational institution. Many people use a definition for "faculty" that is like this one: "The group of people who teach the courses at a college or university. The faculty consists of lecturers, instructors, assistant professors, associate professors, and professors." Wikiversity does not have appointed faculty members, so it is misleading to say that we have "Faculties". There is nothing wrong with calling Wikiversity portals, "portals" as is done at Wikipedia. --JWSchmidt 15:00, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Kalleshwara Temple, Hire Hadagali

The Kalleshwara temple (also spelt Kalleshvara or Kallesvara) is located in the town of Hire Hadagali of the Hoovina Hadagalitaluk in Bellary district of Karnataka state, India.

Kalleshwara Temple
The temple was constructed by Demarasa, prime minister (or mahamatya) to Western Chalukya Empire King Someshvara I (who had the honorific Trailokya Malladeva or "Lord of three worlds"), who reigned from 1042–1068 CE. Art historian Adam Hardy refers to the temple as Kattesvara and classifies it as a "close to mainstream" Western Chalukya architecture (also called Later or Kalyani Chalukya), with the tower over the shrine being a later day re-construction. The basic material used for the original construction is soapstone.

According to art historian Ajay Sinha, an old Kannada inscription (c. 1057) at the temple calls it Bhimesvara-Demesvara. The inscription gives information about the genealogy of the Chalukya dynasty and refers to Vikramaditya VI as a kumara (prince). Another old Kannada inscription (c. 1108) from the rule of Vikramaditya VI gives further details about the consecration of the temple by Udayaditya under the orders of Demarasa. A third poetic Kannada inscription (c. 1212) on the premises belongs to the rule of Hoysala King Veera Ballala II. The temple is protected as a monument of national importance by the Archaeological Survey of India.

Temple plan
The temple is two shrined (dvikuta, though only one shrine has a superstructure or shikhara), each with a sanctum (garbhagriha) and a vestibule (antarala) that connects to a common four pillared closed hall (navaranga or sabhamantapa, lit meaning "gathering hall"). In the original plan, a large "main hall" (mukhamantapa) existed, connecting the closed hall to the outside of the temple, form the southern direction. Outside the main temple complex, an open hall (called nandimantapa) containing a sculpture of Nandi (the bull, a companion of the god Shiva) has been converted into a shrine.

The decorativeness of the outer walls of the main shrine and its closed hall exemplify Chalukyan art. Projections and recesses with niches have been created and used skillfully to accommodate pilasters whose niches contains Hindu deities in relief, depicting the gods Indra, Shiva, his consort Parvati, Lakshmi and others. The doorway to the vestibule has artistic carvings of dvarapalas (door keepers), the goddess of love Rati, and god of love Manmatha. The door lintel (lalata) has an image of Gajalakshmi (Lakshmi flanked by elephants on either side). The eaves over the door has fine images of the Hindu deities Brahma, Keshava (a form of Vishnu) and Shiva. According to Sinha, the exuberance of sculptural articulation seen here is actually a southern Karnataka Hoysala influence on Chalukyan architecture.

Electronics/Signal Propagation

Generation
AC source alternates on a piece of wire. This creates an electric field that creates a magnetic field that creates an electric field. These waves are known as Electro-Magnetic waves, and are photons that travel through free space.

 * EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse): Generated by a nuclear blast, a high intensity blast of many frequencies. Shorts out electrical components.

Propagation
Originally people thought that photons propagate through an aether wind. The aether was disproved by showing that it was not flowing from any direction even though the earth is moving.

''My first tie in with other books. The idea is to have a short intro which motivates the other books so people will be interested in reading them. ''

In showing that the aether did not exist came the realization that light travels at the same speed regardless of how fast you are moving and that time is relative and events do not happen at the same time. With that knowledge came the famous E=MC2 equation, time travel, the secrets behind blackholes, and how gravity and energy warp time and space. Click Here to unlock these secrets of the universe.

Antennas
You only need a quarter wavelength antenna to resolve a full wavelength. It is hard to resolve wavelengths of 200 meters. Use powerlines. Fractal antennas allow to compress the antenna size. As long as the antenna is long enough for a standing wave it does not matter how it is compressed.

 * aerials

Range
The earth behaves like a conductor. The ionosphere also behaves like a conductor. Both can reflect radio waves.

Chebyshev lambda linkage

[[File:Chebyshev Lambda Linkage.gif|thumb|Animation of the Chebyshev Lambda Linkage Dimensions (unit length $a$):

Link 1 (horizontal distance between ground joints): $2.5a$]]

In kinematics, the Chebyshev Lambda Linkage is a four-bar linkage that converts rotational motion to approximate straight-line motion with approximate constant velocity. It is so-named because it looks like a lowercase Greek letter lambda (λ). The precise design trades off straightness, lack of acceleration, and the proportion of the driving rotation that is spent in the linear portion of the full curve.

The example to the right spends over half of the cycle in the near straight portion. Coupler (link 3) point stays within 1% positional tolerance with intersecting the ideal straight line 6 times.

The linkage was first shown in Paris on the Exposition Universelle (1878) as "The Plantigrade Machine". The Chebyshev Lambda Linkage is a cognate linkage of the Chebyshev linkage.

The Chebyshev Lambda Linkage is used in vehicle suspension mechanisms, walking robots and rover wheel mechanisms. In 2004, a study completed as a Master of Science Thesis at Izmir Institute of Technology introduced a new mechanism design by combining two symmetrical Lambda linkages to distribute the force evenly on to ground with providing the straight vertical wheel motion. It was then designed, manufactured and tested in the Earth Rover Project of Los Angeles City College Electronics Club.

Coordination Council (Belarus)

The Coordination Council for the Transfer of Power (CCTP, Каардынацыйная рада; Координационный совет) is a non-governmental body created by presidential candidate Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya to facilitate a democratic transfer of power in Belarus. The council, founded during the 2020 Belarusian protests in response to the disputed 2020 Belarusian presidential election, has 64 core members with a 7-member leadership presidium.

The first meeting of the Council took place on 18 August 2020. From late August to mid-October several of the presidium members were arrested or chose to exile themselves from Belarus, fearing repression by Belarusian security forces. In September 2020, Lithuania, where the council was based, became the only sovereign state to recognize the CCTP as the sole legitimate government of Belarus.

Creation
The formation of the Coordination Council was announced on 14 August 2020, in a video released by Tsikhanouskaya. In the video, she also claimed that she had received between 60 and 70% of the vote in the 9 August presidential election, more than enough for an outright victory over longtime president Alexander Lukashenko. She appealed to the international community to recognise her as the winner. Tsikhanouskaya stated that the aims of the council is to coordinate a peaceful and orderly transfer of power from Lukashenko  and to hold a new, free and fair presidential election at the earliest opportunity.

On 17 August, Tsikhanouskaya released a video in which she stated that she was ready to lead a transitional government.

On 18 August, the Council held its first press conference with questions being answered by Olga Kovalkova, Maxim Znak, Maria Kolesnikova, Pavel Latushko, and Sergey Dylevsky.

On 19 August, the Council elected a 7-member Presidium.

August–September 2020
On 19 August, Tsikhanouskaya recorded an appeal to EU leaders not to recognise the presidential election results in a meeting of EU heads of government scheduled for later that day.

On 19 August, Alexander Lukashenko described the Coordination Council members, stating, "Some of them were once in or close to power. They were kicked out and hold a grudge. Others are outright Nazis. Just take a look at their names." On the same day, former presidential contender Valery Tsepkalo said he did not understand the criteria for the new council's formation and its tasks. He complained that he was not invited.

On 20 August, Prosecutor-General Alexander Konyuk initiated criminal proceedings against the Coordination Council members under Article 361 of the Belarusian Criminal Code. In a statement released, Konyuk alleged that the "creation and activity of the Coordination Council are aimed at seizure of state power, and at harming national security" and that "the creation of such bodies is not allowed in law, and they are unconstitutional." On the same day, presidium members Dylevsky and Znak were summoned for police questioning. Znak and Dylevsky arrived for questioning on the morning of 21 August and were later released.

On 21 August, Tsikhanouskaya's lawyer Znak filed a formal protest concerning the presidential election with the Supreme Court of Belarus. Znak said that "A complaint has been submitted. A decision on when to start proceedings is due within three days." On 24 August, presidium members Dylevsky and Kovalkova were detained by OMON officers whilst attempting to support a wildcat strike at the Minsk Tractor Works factory. Presidium members Vlasova, Latushko, Alexievich, and Kolesnikova were also summoned for questioning. Both Kovalkova and Dylevsky were sentenced to 10 days' imprisonment the following day.

On 26 August, Ivonka Survilla, President of the Rada of the Belarusian People's Republic, expressed her support for Tsikhanouskaya.

On 31 August, presidium member Vlasova was detained by the OMON.

On 5 September, presidium member Kovalkova chose to leave Belarus rather than remain in detention over the Section 361 charges.

On 7 September, presidium member Kolesnikova was detained by unidentified masked men in Minsk.

On 9 September 2020, the only member of the presidium not yet arrested or missing was Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Svetlana Alexievich. However, there were reports from Belarusian journalists that unknown men were knocking at the doors of her home. As of 9 August 2020, she was under round-the-clock guard by diplomats for several European countries, including ambassadors from Poland and Lithuania.

At a press conference in Poland, council member Pavel Latushko condemned the situation in Belarus, claiming that 10,000 people were subject to misconduct and imprisonment orchestrated by the security forces. He stated that 450 people were tortured, and protesters were put into jail on fake charges. Latushko and Olga Kovalkova invited the OSCE and United Nations to send observers to Belarus to assess the situation.

25 October ultimatum
On 16 October, Svetlana Tsikhanouskaya was put on the wanted lists in Belarus and Russia on charges of "attempting to overthrow the constitutional order".

National Anti-crisis Management
In late October 2020, the Pavel Latushko, a presidium member, created National Anti-crisis Management (NAM), a shadow government, to manage the detailed administration tasks of a peaceful transfer of power leading to the inauguration of a newly elected president. NAM published internal reports of the Belarusian Ministry of Internal Affairs, according to which 25,800 people had been detained between 9 August and 9 November 2020, and 4000 complaints of torture and other illegal actions had been lodged with the ministry and ignored.

On 25 February 2023, Pavel Latushko announced he had left the Coordinating Council.

Truth commission
In late November 2020, the Council published a draft document for debating the creation of a truth and reconciliation commission for the purposes of transitional justice. The commission, termed a "special agency", would "consider the use of physical force, special equipment and weapons against citizens in connection with political positions" or the violation or calls for the violation of citizens' rights by public officials. The agency would only consider individual responsibility; membership of an organisation would not be grounds for prosecution. In cases in which no physical harm was involved, the accused would go through a conciliation procedure. Other cases would be prosecuted under administrative, "disciplinary," or criminal law. The showing of "effective remorse" or the lack of it would weaken or strengthen some of the financial and property penalties in the proposed legal definition of the agency's powers.

Transitional government
On 9 August 2022, Tsikhanouskaya announced the formation of the United Transitional Cabinet, a transitional government led by Tsikhanouskaya.

"Extremist group" status
In January 2023, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus recognized the Coordination Council as an extremist organization. According to Belarusian legislation, members of extremist groups face imprisonment. Earlier, in 2021–2022, Belarusian courts recognized the Council's internet resources as extremist materials. In November 2023, more than 130 searches were conducted, and more than 145 properties were arrested during a massive raid conducted by the Belarusian criminal police against the members of the Coordination Council and their relatives. According to Belarusian human rights activists, people allegedly associated with the Constitutional Court are approached with search warrants under six articles of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus:
 * “Treason to the state” – up to 15 years in prison;
 * “Conspiracy or other actions committed to seize state power” – up to and including the death penalty;
 * “Calls for actions aimed at harming the national security of the Republic of Belarus” - up to three years of imprisonment;
 * “Creation of an extremist formation” – up to seven years;
 * “Financing extremist activities” – up to six years in prison;
 * “Promoting extremist activity” – up to six years.

On January 23, 2024, the Belarusian Investigative Committee announced that charges where brought against the Secretary of the Coordination Council Ivan Kravtsov, who has been accused of conspiracy or other actions committed to seize government power, сreation of an extremist formation and other articles of the criminal code. Kravtsov has been the secretary of the Coordination Council since its formation in 2020.

Objectives
The council has stated that its primary goals are:
 * To end the political persecution of citizens and for those responsible to be brought to justice.
 * For the release of all political prisoners in Belarus.
 * The annulment of the 9 August presidential election and for new elections to be conducted to international standards organised by a reconstituted central elections commission.

Council Presidium member Pavel Latushko stated that the Council does not want to radically change the course of Belarusian foreign policy, adding that it wants to maintain "friendly and profound" relations with Russia, as well as to have a good working relationship with the European Union and to act as a bridge between the east and west.

Structure
Tsikhanouskaya stated that applications to the council were open to Belarusian citizens who recognised the officially declared election results to be falsified, and who were trusted by social groups. Applications were invited from individuals representing workers' groups, political parties, trade unions, and other organisations of civic society and from authoritative figures such as doctors, teachers, business leaders, authors, or sportspersons. Olga Kovalkova and lawyer Maxim Znak were given responsibility for collating and approving membership applications.

Presidium
The Council elected a 7-member presidium on 19 August 2020. The members of the presidium are:
 * Svetlana Alexievich, Nobel laureate in Literature
 * Sergei Dylevsky, leader of Minsk Tractor Works (MTZ) strike committee
 * Maria Kalesnikava, headquarters coordinator of Viktar Babaryka's 2020 presidential campaign

 * Pavel Latushko, former Minister of Culture; Latushko announced that he had quit the council in late February 2023.
 * Liliya Vlasova, mediator and lawyer
 * Maxim Znak, lawyer, member of Viktar Babaryka's headquarters

Anonymous screed
Controversy Beginning with the abolishment of the 5th year, there was much skeptism as to why, all of sudden it was being taken away. It was discovered that the school was planning on shutting it down, since 2000. In 2004 when they announced that it was going to cease in 2006, it was due to mainly "lack of funding" primarily. Many were outraged at the fact that there was something that could have done about it.

Many seniors and juniors were promised, though, the school sought no such remorse. Also, beginning in 2006, they introduced a uniform program and announced that the 07'-08' school year would include a mandatory uniform system. This would make the infamous dress code that so many admired abolished, without the opinion or regard to any of the students. Those who had barely enought to attend, would face extreme expenses.

The subject most are divided on (with the most attention) is the possibility of the school going co-ed, it appears that many don't really mind. Though, those who believe it would ultimately ruin what the school stands for, how it contradicts St.John Bosco's ideals, the brotherhood, and why the school was started.

The institution would have to go through harsh construction and re-arrangement, including more money spent on academic buildings, abolisment/replacemnt of certain original technologies, and even athletic facilites. The question that many of the students who oppose these new policies, say, "How far are we willing to go, how many values and traditons are we willing to forget about in an instant, just for publicity and money". Though, the school's administration still yet has to respong to many of the activism on campus. Unsourced, full of POV. --evrik 14:05, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Jay Hernandez
Since people refuse to actually discuss the matter of whether or not actor Jay Hernandez is an alumn of Bosco Tech rather Montebello High School, I've included definitive proof that he was a student there because I also went to school with him. It's amazing how people think Yahoo movies is 100% accurate. The following are links of the yearbook during his Junior year. I find it very frustrating that I even had to do this. He and Michael Garciaparra are the only ones on the notable alumni list that can be traced back to Bosco Tech. So if anyone keeps removing him it will be vandalism. -- † Ðy§ep§ion † Speak your mind 21:41, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Management
Management? Sources? I don't think so, I assume everybody agrees on the idea of taking off Management. Such a disputable matter (in which it cannot be proved) shall not go on the DBTI Wikipedia page.

I've already removed the New Technology info which was lifted word for word from a brochure. Even the sports sections are copy and paste. The DBTI website is merely a source for the article. However, it seems the entire DBTI website is being tranferred to Wikipedia which not only violates Wikipedia's copyright policies but also Wikipedia's neutral point of view.

The Name of God From the Sinai to the American Southwest James Harris

In the 18th Century BC, Canaanite miners were hired by the Egyptians to work in their Copper and Turquoise mines in an area called Serabit el-Khadim (see map below) of the Sinai Desert (now called the Egyptian East Desert). Hieroglyphic signs were used to write their West Semitic names and keep correct accounts of their days of labor. This was a great motivation for them to learn the sound signs that phonetically articulated their names. Very soon they had an Alef-Bet with which they could record their Proto-Canaanite language. The script they developed is called Proto-Sinaitric (First-Sinaitic) and the language was a Pan-Canaanite language often called Old Hebrew

Three centuries later (15th Century BC) there was a cave-in at Mine-L, within the above mentioned area, and artifacts, tool, and a few inscriptions were frozen in time. This event provided knowledge of how much the Alef-Bet had matured in three centuries.

In the same century an area variation appeared in the Land of Canaan. This variation retained the archaic forms of Proto-Sinaitic and introduced a few abstract forms (used side by side with archaic forms). This area variation was called Proto-Canaanite. Both of these archaic scripts were the parents of Old Negev (1200 BC) an area variation found South of the Land of Canaan (an area that today extends from Beersheva to Eilat). Another script that emerged about the same time as Old Negev was Phoenician. Unlike Phoenician, Old Negev retained many of the archaic signs which they used side by side with abstract signs [the abstract signs were simply reformed Egyptian signs].

A study of the two parent Alef-Bets was an important step toward assigning the appropriate phonetic values to the Old Negev signs. Also since Old Hebrew was used as the best language to translate the two parent scripts it was logically the best language with which to translate Old Negev inscriptions. The geographical location of the emergence of Old Negev also favored a strong link to the parent scripts.

In addition symbols, icons, and ligatures that doubled as icons and enhanced the meaning of the whole composition were consistently observed and they frequently included icons and phonetic signs that spell the most sacred name of the God of Israel [Yah, Yahh, & Yahu, which out of respect was never spelled out fully].

But all the above is just the beginning of the surprises that Dr. Harris describes in his book, The Name of God From the Sinai to the American Southwest.

The real discovery was that this same ancient alphabet system was found on rocks darkened by patina (desert varnish), on paintings in caves and overhangs, with the same icon, ligatures, symbols, and the name of the same God spelled the same three ways in six Southwestern States. Prof. Harris has a corpus of I20 inscriptions from the Negev of Israel, and about 400+ from the American Southwest. It is indisputable evidence that a Canaanite people speaking and writing a Canaanite language and worshipping the God Yahweh found their way to ancient America.

Dr. Harris is continuing his examination of the Israel site and has gained the interest of various international scholars in his Middle-East find.

Recommented format
Hi all, I am trying to put together a few lessons on Ship strength (http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Ship_Strength) but the more I write the more I get the feeling I should put this in WikiBooks instead of here.... Could someone point out an exemplary page and even put it at the front page, so that it is clear how it should look? Keep in mind that teaching someone how to use a piece of software is not the same as teaching something more abstract. A million thanks for any help.Dpservis 16:21, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Create a new page function bug
The "create a new page function" feature at the bottom of the page has a bug which I cannot figure out. Anything after this function is pushed to the right side of the page rather than on the next line as it should be. So I moved the function to the bottom of the page so no one sees the bug.
