Lőrinc Mészáros

Lőrinc Mészáros (born 24 February 1966) is a Hungarian businessman, and former politician, who served as Mayor of the Hungarian village Felcsút between 2011 and 2018. With an estimated wealth of 436 billion forint ($1.3 billion) as of 2022, he is, according to Forbes, the third richest person in Hungary. Several media outlets refer to him as "oligarch".

His personality generates regular social discourse, because from a gas-fitter close to bankruptcy, Mészáros became the richest man of Hungary in a matter of years – what several analysts explain with him having close ties to high-ranking members of the Fidesz party. After the 2010 elections, his wealth doubled annually, and he became the mayor of the village where his childhood friend and current Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán grew up. This has led to several media outlets calling him Viktor Orbán's strawperson on a regular basis. The significance of this relationship is summarized by Mészáros in 2017: "My fortune is thanks to three factors: God, luck, and Viktor Orbán."

Early business
Mészáros started his career as a gas-fitter in the early nineties. The company started to develop and got more and more important jobs in nearby settlements, working in residential parks and larger buildings. In the middle of the 2000s, however, the company received fewer orders and lost most of its market share. By 2007 the company was making loss with minimal orders.

Since 2010 he rapidly accumulated his wealth. By 2013 he became the 88th richest Hungarian with HUF6.9 billion assets, rising to 23.8 billion in 2016, and to 120 billion by 2017, making him the 5th wealthiest Hungarian. According to a report by RTL Klub, in 2016 Mészáros companies, in consortium, had a total public procurement revenue of HUF225 billion.

Politics
Mészáros won the local elections in Felcsút in 2011 representing the governing Fidesz–KDNP. After his election, Felcsút saw fast development, with several large state and EU funded projects (football stadium, touristic light railway, artificial lake) being realized. Mészáros also became president of the Felcsút New Generation Training Foundation, which was founded earlier by Viktor Orbán.

The fortunes of Mészáros and its family companies continued to grow in 2018, winning public procurements worth of HUF259 billion, 93% of which came from the European Union. In April 2018, Mészáros retired as the Mayor of Felcsút "to solely concentrate on his economic interests".

Later business
By May 2018, his and his wife's Konzum Private Equity Fund had traded at 280–300 billion Forint, making Mészáros the second richest man in the country. By March 2019 he became the 2057th wealthiest man on the planet according to Forbes.

In the years between 2010 and 2019 among others he acquired, several hotels, the second largest power plant of Hungary (Mátra Power Plant, providing about 15% of the country's electricity). He acquired several radio stations, newspaper publishers, and the nationwide television channel "Echo". These became part of his holding company, Opimus (later Opus Global Nyrt.), which grew into Hungary's biggest media empire.

In 2017, together with his longtime business partner László Szíjj, they acquired 81.5% of the Hungarian Foreign Trade Bank (MKB), the fourth-biggest commercial bank in Hungary.

His name is associated with CIG Pannonia.

His construction companies won bids in the two largest (state funded) infrastructure projects of the last five decades: the Paks-2 Nuclear Power Plant construction and the Budapest-Belgrade railway.

Atlatszo.hu, an opposition news site, compiled a list of all of his companies.

Enrichment
Lőrinc Mészáros is still a key player in Felcsút, and since 2010 he has become even richer than ever: in 2013 he was the 88th richest Hungarian with a wealth of 6.9 billion, which rose to 31st place by 2016, and 2017, already in 5th place with HUF 120 billion in assets. His assets started to grow sharply, mainly through public procurement after 2010, which his companies gained under unusual business conditions. In the meantime, the mayor has built a real company empire that includes a number of companies with different profiles, from the construction industry to agriculture to the local school buffet. Some of these companies are run by his children. Mészáros Foundation has on several occasions commissioned companies run by his children to do construction in Felcsút. According to the RTL Klub, in 2016 the companies of Mészáros were able to post a total revenue of HUF 225 billion from public procurement. The government related wealth is strengthened by the fact that on several occasions Mészáros's companies sent orders to the companies of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's family in connection with the procurements, including Orbán's father, Orbán Győző, family businesses as well.

In the autumn of 2016, Opimus Press Zrt., with an unclear background close to Mészáros, acquired 100% of the shares of Mediaworks Hungary Zrt., the operator of the suspended Népszabadság publisher. Behind the transaction, several have speculated a political showdown after the paper previously reported embarrassing affairs to Fidesz. Mészáros, however, in an interview with Bors, denied that he had bought the paper and claimed that he did not have any shares in Opimus. He also denied the news that his confidant, Zoltán Csík, would be a member of the board. He had no opinion on the closure of the paper itself, but said the media was a "weird world" where character assassination attempts were being made against him. He added that he wanted to deal with his existing companies in the future and that he was a businessman, not a politician. On the other hand, it became public knowledge that he had bought Echo TV, stating that he "wanted a good TV" on which Fidesz could rely in the campaign, but denying that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán had a say in the operation of the TV channel. He also said here that he was fine With Lajos Simicska, who had previously quarreled with Orbán, he claims that Simicska had previously helped him thrive in business. It was later revealed that Mészáros had bought from Tamás Gyárfás the building, which previously housed Nap TV complex of Angol Street, to move Echo TV there. The move took place in December 2017. On 3 March 2017, Mészáros acquired a 16.9 percent stake in Opimus Plc., which can be linked to the closure of Népszabadság. After the transaction, the company's share price began to rise spectacularly.

2017
On 30 March 2017, 444.hu and Hír TV visited Felcsút to participate in the extraordinary and public meeting of the representative body, but Mészáros did not want to be recorded at the meeting, so he wanted to exclude the cameras from the meeting and police to enforce this. However, under the current legislation, the press can attend and record the meeting, so that the correspondents could eventually stay. They also wanted to ask the mayor about his role in Opimus, but Mészáros did not answer.

According to the Napi.hu April 2017 summary, Mészáros' wealth jumped 100 billion in one year, making him the fifth in the list of the richest Hungarians. Even in a year of unprecedented growth and wealth, other significant deals have been made with his companies:

The previous owners were hiding behind a Luxembourg company, but Jászai had been among the owners of the group for some time in the 2000s. The purchase price was not disclosed.

In July, three football teams, Diósgyőr, Haladás, and Puskás Akadémia also presented themselves in the brand's jerseys, which they intend to wear in the 2018/19 season. It was later revealed that the public media, also accused of being close to the government, advertised Mészáros's brand in a barter business without financial compensation, which is why the LMP reported treatment, alleging dishonesty.

At the end of August 2018, it turned out that the Konzum Group belonging to Mészáros and Viktor Orbán's son-in-law, owned by István Tiborcz, BDPST Zrt., entered into a strategic partnership in the real estate market.

2020
In January 2020, the Hungarian state bought the previously majority-owned, unprofitable Mátra Power Plant from Mészáros, citing the "preservation of jobs there", which critics said, like the previous owners, Mészáros had only withdrawn money from the power plant. In addition, a journalist interested in the financial details of the transaction, like other people close to the government, was disturbed by the fact that he was not a public figure. It was later revealed that the state had paid HUF 17 billion for the power plant and classified the transaction as "of national strategic importance", which means that the Hungarian Competition Authority has no way of investigating. In the meantime, it won a tender for the development of the railways, which has become more and more expensive by one and a half billion in the meantime.

However, according to data later requested by the MSZP, the purchase of the power plant cost the state more than HUF 75 billion in total, because the company requested a capital increase of HUF 26.4 billion in addition to the purchase price, the same bridging framework to keep the power plant operational and HUF 4.9 billion forint member loan.

Gerecse-Plusz Kft., Owned by Zrt., For the MLSZ construction of training center won net 1.9 billion (brutto 2.3 billion) HUF public procurement.

At the beginning of the year, the Curia confirmed also that, contrary to his previous claim, Mészáros was considered a public figure. This was done after the previous journalists of Heti Válasz wrote: It was in Mészáros' interest that he acquired and liquidated the paper in 2019.

Companies and enterprises belonging to Mészáros' interests also received tourism subsidies. The near Lake Neusiedl was construction of a public holiday complex also started by one of Mészáros's construction companies earlier this year, which also damaged the surrounding roads, but also caused outrage among local holiday home owners to demolish their holiday homes at no cost to the state, did not provide compensation. In addition, the investment in a nature reserve, Hunguest Hotels Zrt., which is also linked to Mészáros, received a 17.7 billion state renovation grant. It also turned out that two-thirds of the HUF 300 billion that could be distributed by the Hungarian Tourism Agency went to 0.1% of the applicants, who happened to be companies belonging to Mészáros' interests. What's more, it hit hardest in the year 2020, when a number of other tourism businesses struggled to survive.

The construction of the Budapest Multifunctional Sports Hall, built by the companies of Mészáros and other businessmen close to the government, also became ten times more expensive than the project. A former mill company involved in a multi-billion dollar fraud also managed to obtain a refurbished mill at a price.

The E.ON 100% stake in Tiszántúli Áramhálózati Zrt. (Titász) also became the property of Opus Energy Kft., which belongs to Mészáros.

In May, Mészáros' hotel in Eger received state support of 2.8 billion, while Eger itself received only HUF 825 million in compensation for the epidemic. Meanwhile, the court dismissed Mészáros's new lawsuit, which was called by András Fekete-Győr, of Momentum president, as "a strawman" who would be held accountable for the crimes he committed after 2022. According to the court, Mészáros, as a public business figure, must tolerate criticism, as Fekete-Győr said opinions, not slanders.

In June, Forbes republished the list of the richest Hungarians, again led by Mészáros, whose wealth grew by 185 billion in 2020, despite the coronavirus epidemic, making it the first with HUF 479.4 billion.

On 11 June, he was interviewed at the Index, where he praised most of his own businesses and criticized critical opinions with him and his companies. After Mészáros's earlier statements were often more robed and controversial, it was a matter of an interview – especially since Index.hu also became close to the government. However, the more sophisticated-style interview still had more contradictory and less realistic statements. He also talked about taking Munkácsy pictures from the Imre Pákh art collector, but according to Pákh there was no such thing, only a possible museum location was agreed upon.

Following the release of the interview, Opus Global Plc.'s shares on the Budapest Stock Exchange were worth 6.3 billion more than that morning.

His appearance also changed a lot by 2021: he lost weight spectacularly and it is possible that he had plastic surgery. All this was linked to his new relationship.

V-Híd Építő Zrt., which is part of its interest, won the expansion of the railway tracks between Kelenföld and Ferencváros railway stations for almost 338 billion. According to expert opinions, the cost of such work may not exceed HUF 30–50 billion, so the issue of overpricing has arisen here as well.

According to Napi.hu, in 2021 Mészáros donated the most in the year, although the data on the list were based on self-reports. According to this, he spent nearly one and a half billion this year on charity, compared to 5.1 billion in the five years before, which is roughly 1% of his wealth. According to András Fekete-Győr, Mészáros, who was enriched with public money, should return 99% of his wealth to the Hungarian society, not 1%.

Football
Around 2007 Mészáros began to invest in his local football team, and acquired it in 2008. He has been sponsoring the team for many years. He oversaw the government-funded construction of the 3500-seat Pancho Aréna football stadium in Felcsút.

He is in an undisclosed relationship, officially main sponsor of the Croatian football team Osijek. Rumour has it he is the main owner of the club. After his rumoured purchase of the team, the Hungarian government sponsored the football academy in Osijek with €3.3 million.

Since 1986 Lőrinc Mészáros was married to Lőrincné Mészáros (née Beatrix Csilla Kelemen) who in 2019 was ranked by Forbes Magazine as the most influential business woman in Hungary. On 4 September 2020, it was announced that they were divorcing, but the reasons for the divorce were not disclosed. Afterwards his former wife moved to the XII. district of Budapest, an affluent neighborhood where several influential persons who have close ties with the government own or owned properties. Besides she cut ties with a range of business interests. After rumours had circulated for months, Lőrinc Mészáros' relationship with TV personality Andrea Várkonyi was announced in April 2021. Prior to that, Andrea Várkony had had a working relationship with Lőrinc Mészáros' media enterprises. They married on 24 September 2021.

Beatrix later became chairman of the Mátra Power Plant Supervisory Board.

His brother, János Mészáros, also won several high-value public procurement contracts after 2013.

In the media
On 25 July 2017, Bloomberg Businessweek published an article on Mészáros analyzing the mayor's wealth after the controversial acquisition of 21% in the Hungarian conglomerate Konzum Nyrt. Konzum's share prices dropped 99% in one year before the acquisition, along with a sevenfold increase in its short-term debt, and it cut off its staff by 86 percent.

Anton Velim

Anton Velim (24 February 1892 – 13 October 1954) was an Austrian painter and graphic artist.

Early life and education
Anton Velim was born in Vienna, where his father was a tailor. From 1908 to 1912, he attended the Höhere Graphische Bundes-Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt, then studied at the Academy of Fine Arts with Alois Delug.

Career
In 1910, Velim had already held his first official position as an assistant to Alfred Roller at the Erste Internationale Jagd-Ausstellung. In 1913, he designed postcards for the Vienna Werkstätte and exhibited with the Vienna Secession. In 1916, he was awarded the Academy's Gundel-Prize for excellence. The members of the Wittgenstein family were among his most notable clients. In the 1920s, he worked at the art colony in Grinzing.

When the colony was disbanded and Velim lost his studio there, his financial situation worsened. In 1930, he held his last exhibition with the Wiener Secession, and his works were part of the art competition at the 1936 Summer Olympics. Despite these moderate successes, he had to take a position as a vocational teacher to avoid poverty. His personal life also went poorly, as his only son was killed in World War II, and his wife filed for a separation after over twenty years of marriage.

Velim made no effort to promote his works for almost a decade, until 1946, when he became a member of the Vienna Künstlerhaus. His last exhibition was with them, shortly before his death, of which there are two accounts. In Die Presse, the cause was given as a heart attack but other, international sources gave it as varnish poisoning.

Talk:Dean Erickson

Alma Mater?
The template does not actually have a field for "alma_mater", (unlike, say,  ); but it is still probably an important bit of information for this article.

The List_of_Brown_University_people does not list anyone named Erickson, despite the fact that this article ("Dean Erickson") has a link to http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0259039/bio which states, "Studied at Brown University."

However, the List of University of Texas at Austin alumni ALSO does not list anyone named Erickson, even though there is someone named Dean Erickson (having a middle initial "of A.", iirc) mentioned at http://www.ericksonandassoc.com/our-team/list-of-profiles who [quote:] "has a Bachelor of Science from the University of Texas."

Are those two different persons, both with the name Dean Erickson? Or, are they the same person, who "[s]tudied at Brown University" and also (later? perhaps) graduated from the University of Texas? If so, then (IMHO) http://www.ericksonandassoc.com/ should be added to the External Links" section. Actually, in that case, the "spouse" field of the  could be filled in, since [one of the pages at] www.ericksonandassoc.com says her name is Nannette.

Web Design/Group Activities/Scoping a Small Project

This activity is best suited to small groups of 3-4 people.

Time required: 30 minutes in groups, then 20mins+ discussion, reflection.

Scenario
Bluetech is a small factory automation company with three employees, situated in your local area. The owner of the company, Jillian, is a friend of your Uncle's. Jillian has mentioned to your Uncle a number of times over the past 8 months that she's wanting to contact you to talk about "putting a site together" for Bluetech.

After a phonecall, you finally meet up with Jillian for an initial discussion about his website. The meeting is only 15mins long (due to Jillian's busy schedule) and is interrupted a number of times by one of Jillian's employees. You come away from this initial meeting with the following details:

 * Jillian just wants a small website (3-5 pages)
 * The purpose of this website is to expand Bluetech's customer base.
 * The specific goals are:
 * 1) Demonstrate Bluetech's professional work through an online portfolio of recent work.
 * 2) Enable users to find out more about the company (history, mission statement, etc.)
 * 3) Encourage users to contact Bluetech for a quote
 * 4) Entice users to re-visit the page every so often.
 * Jillian would also like the site to include a bio of her own education, experience and background.

Other points you've noticed:
 * Jillian doesn't understand a lot about web design, but is keen to understand your needs.
 * The company is quite busy.

You leave the meeting a little dazed and with more questions than when you first entered.

Your group's task

 * Create a list of tasks for this project.
 * Create an initial quote based on one person working on this project (cost and deadline).
 * Design a very brief prototype (storyboard or wireframe, no images/designs required just your ideas for structuring the information).
 * If you have time, create a list of further information that you need from Jillian.

Reflection
As each group presents their project outline, you might find it helpful to discuss how you came to your decisions in each area. Remember, there's no 'right' answer - our aim here is more to discover the problems!

Presentation
A presentation of this peer review idea (given at the December 2013 meetup in New York City) is available at: File:Peer revieved content from Wikiversity (presentation).pdf. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 11:30, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Link to peer reviewed version
When a resource passes peer review, I think we should make a copy of the peer reviewed passed version as a subpage, then write protect it as a snapshot. Any new peer review changes can be finalized into a new snapshot. Mikael Häggström, what do you think? Also, I don't know if Wikipedia will allow Wikiversity information as a reliable source. I'm not against it, but I don't think Wikiversity is developed enough yet for it. Its a good vision. Also, what about linking the peer review page to external peer review organizations. - Sidelight12 Talk 20:02, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Why not use a permanent link to the peer-reviewed page instead? This snapshot is already compiled and requires no maintenance.  -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 20:53, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Good idea! I'll work on that to include a permanent link to the peer reviewed version as well. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 06:48, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Citing in Wikipedia
Can I ask where the heck you got the idea that Wikiversity 'peer reviewed' articles would be accepted as reliable sources on Wikipedia? That is for Wikipedia to decide - not Wikiversity. And as the Wikipedia policy on identifying reliable sources makes clear, open Wikis are never accepted as reliable sources. AndyTheGrump (discuss • contribs) 20:15, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I cannot recall I've ever gotten such an idea. As described on the talk pages you linked, I regard this peer review process to avail for a possible exception to the general rule. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 11:32, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
 * If you didn't have such an idea, why were you citing your own Wikiversity articles on Wikipedia? Anyway, what you 'regard' is beside the point - current Wikipedia policy is that citation of Wikis isn't permitted, and unless and until Wikipedia policy is revised, it is entirely misleading for Wikiversity to be implying otherwise. If the Wikipedia 'peer review' process is to be accepted by Wikipedia as an exception to this rule, no doubt this article can be revised to say so - but that hasn't happened, and Wikiversity:Peer review shouldn't be implying otherwise. If you aren't prepared to remove the misleading assertions, I shall consider doing so myself. AndyTheGrump (discuss • contribs) 21:17, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The context of the text makes it clear that peer review does not automatically result in being a reliable source for inclusion in Wikipedia, but since this text is obviously disputes I've removed it from the page. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 04:57, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

 * There is a confusion in this discussion. Yes, being "peer-reviewed" doesn't make something reliable source, in itself. What it takes is an independent and responsible publisher. The "publisher" cannot be a wiki or the author or any organization controlled by the author. Nor can it be controlled by a wiki, but, now what may be possible:
 * An independent publisher chooses to use a wiki to publish. It may use wiki process as a part of its own peer-review process, generating advice. Not control. If the material is published on a wiki, the "publication" is a specific version of a wiki page or set of pages referenced externally by the publisher. To make this clear, the article would be cited, not by the Wikiversity link, but to a publisher page, that may contain an abstract, perhaps, and a link to a permanent wiki version, approved by the publisher, with the full text being readable from the wiki as the permanent version.
 * All this then would create what may be reliable source. The reliable source is the publisher and what the publisher publishes. Not the wiki. however, there are some very substantial advantages which will accrue to the publisher and to the wiki community. The article may be broadly criticized. It may be improved. It may be discussed, and on Wikiversity, the *topic* may be discussed. (And the publisher may subject an improved version to its own editorial process and could update the link.) The publications will likely remain stable, even if the publisher ceases operations.
 * To my mind, the present Wikiversity Journal of Medicine does not quite satisfy this. However, it could be made so, and some of the pieces are in place.
 * One of the crucial differences is in the attached page. It implies that the author may arrange for peer review. Certainly an author can do that; however, *independent peer review* -- generally anonymous -- is very important to academic publishing. Rather, the publisher must identify peer review resources, assessing their competence, and not under the influence of an author. It will then assign reviewers anonymously. The reviews may be publishable on-wiki, and it's then possible for reviews to be criticized, but the publication decision is entirely in the hands of the *independent publisher.* It is that independent choice, with the publisher having its reputation (and market) at stake, that allows Wikipedia to use independent publication to determine reliable source and notability.
 * If this is completed, this could apply to many subjects, not just Medicine. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 17:36, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I think the creation of PDF files would serve as a proper link when citing articles, as it would be a substantially more stable than the online wiki versions of articles. The day we reach 40 articles and are eligible for inclusion in Pubmed, the Pubmed page may be used as a reference. Until then, we are planning to upload the PDF files to some sort of academic page, in order to get them indexed and searchable by for example Google Scholar. I'm currently trying to get approval for this at my local med school.
 * A peer review made by someone directly chosen by the author is theoretically possible, but it is a huge potential conflict of interest. I had to do this in the very beginning of this project, before there were any submissions from other people, but we will definitely work on independently appointing peer reviewers.

Feminist novel
I'm sorry, but this is so not the first feminist novel. In fact I feel that it fits best not into the feminist era, but into our post feminist times. There are many other novels which are more directly linked to the feminism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs) 17:05, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Who is Arthur Huntingdon?
It has been written that Arthur Huntingdon bears many similarities to Mr. Rochester. But Mr.Rochester himself bears many similarities with - guess whom? - Heathcliff. Apparently the sisters draw the same sort of men but put them in absolutely different living conditions. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:39, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Similarities and connections
Only The Professor, Agnes Grey and Wuthering Heights are unconnected Bronte's novels.

English law
Certainly written by a classics student. It is stated in the first para that refusal of conjugal rights is against English law. English law has never permitted rape, not even for husbands. Refusal has always been grounds for divorce, not a defence against rape.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:13, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Incomplete editions of the novel!
In all of the online editions (and some books) of The Tenant I've seen, The Prologue (not author's preface to the second edition, but the narrator's to his letter) and the chapter headings are omitted so the structure of the novel is considerably corrupted. I know the Oxford 2008 edition (which isbn is featured in this article) as being complete. And that at Wikisourse is not complete. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:19, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Napoleon in Imperial Costume was an 1805 portrait of Napoleon I in his coronation robes by Jacques-Louis David. Originally intended for the Tribuna in Genoa, Napoleon was unhappy with it and it was left incomplete. It is known via a small oil sketch now in the Palais des beaux-arts de Lille.

Another version of the same subject was meant for Napoleon's brother Jérôme Bonaparte, king of Westphalia. It is now lost, but known via a copy attributed to Rouget now in the Fogg Art Museum, an incomplete canvas attributed to Sebastian Weygandt in the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen in Kassel and a head study in the bibliothèque Thiers.

I feel the second etymology presented here is somewhat redundant. As I understand the work presented, it is not claiming a new defination for the word 'retection', as the word still implies the detection of something concealed.

User:Roadrunner~enwikiversity/Educational philosophy

Confucius
The basic foundation for my education philosophy is the Great Learning which has been attributed to Confucius. The Great Learning does a number of things. First it places at its core the personal investigation of things. This establishes the principle that the universe can be understood, and the foundation of learning is the moral cultivation of the individual. The second thing that the Great Learning does is to put an emphasis on taking the action of the individual and creating increasingly large communities from this, and this explains some of my interests in physics, education, law, and finance.

Dai Zhen
I am highly influenced by Dai Zhen and the Evidential school of Chinese philosophy which puts emphasis on empirical knowledge and detail.

Lev Vygotsky
My educational philosophy is highly influenced by the ideas of Lev Vygotsky who describes education as a process of internalizing external social knowledge. This is why I think that Wikiversity is so important because it creates the social community which is the essential part of learning.

Part of my thinking involves taking the ideas of Vygotsky and applying them to my memories of learning physics at MIT, and teaching at the University of Phoenix. One important insight that I've gotten is that professors don't teach physics at MIT. What happens is that professors create a social structure by which students teach each other physics. The actual learning doesn't take place in the lecture hall, but in dorm lounge at 2:00 a.m. over highly caffenated products, and it's trying to replicate that environment, which is what you need to teach physics. The interesting thing about having taught at UoP is that UoP shows that it can be done online.

The other insight is that physics is not a set of facts, but a language and a culture. If you understand the language and the culture, you can reconstruct the facts. The other point is that to master a language, you need to be able to not only listen and understand the language, but also be able to speak and write the language.

These insights explain why I think that physics is badly taught. If you accept the premise that education happens not from books, but from social structures, you quickly see that the social structures that teach science are teaching the wrong things. Science as taught in most environments is taught in a way that effectively teaches an authoritarian culture of memorization which is actually completely different from the actual culture of real physics. This has a whole bunch of negative social consequences, and I see Wikiversity as a chance to teach science correctly.

Anders Ericsson
Another one of my influences is Anders Ericsson, who has written a number of books on expert learning and performance. The most important thing that Ericsson has done is to demystify the learning of experts, and explain how experts accquire their skills.

Question duality
One mental trick that I've found useful is to question duality. Among the dualities that I have questioned are science/humanities, Chinese/Western, distance learning/face to face learning, online/bricks-and-mortar, traditional/modern.

Guys, I don't understand one thing: how did Phil Lamarr suddenly voice Lightning Lynx from Archie Comics about Sonic? On the website deviantart.com there were records about SSZ Bios Lightning Lynx, and it is written that the voice actor of this character is Phil Lamarr. So why the fright did Phil voice the Lightning Lynx, does anyone know about it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by In F zu Fuß zu (talk • contribs) 13:06, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

"Career" vs. "Post MADtv Years"
Phil's appearances on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Murphy Brown are not after he left MADtv; this is why I changed the heading to career in the first place. I don't understand why it was reverted; I've made the change again, albeit with some tweaking (see below). Perhaps that entire block should be re-written; I don't have a problem with "Post MADtv", I just have a problem with it mentioning appearances that were made before MADtv, but there's nowhere else for them to go.

I also created seperate headings for movies, stage, television, and voice work under the all-encompassing Career heading. Does that work better for everyone else? EVula 18:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

More MADtv
Messy Thinking 15:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC) If I'm not mistaken, he and other cast members have written sketches based on elements of personal note to each of them. This isn't something that normally takes place on the show.

Has there been any news on whether he is returning to Futurama when it comes back in 2008? His voice as "Kif" and various other roles in Futurama should be mentioned? I am editing that in Maurice LaMarche is the voice of KifPlamarr (talk) 19:32, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Random trivia
According to an audio interview with GameFAQs user Chris Ho, John Travolta was the one that came up with the idea of Marvin being shot in the face since the character was originally supposed to be accidentally shot in the throat and suffer in agony while John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson's characters were asking each other what they should do about him, with the eventual conclusion about putting LaMarr's character out of his misery. Knowing that the intentional kill would make his character unlikeable, in rehearsal Travolta came up with this particular idea instead, and Tarantino agreed to it.

Orphaned references in Phil LaMarr
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Phil LaMarr's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "PressKit": From The Lion King (2019 film):  From Turbo Fast:  From Turbo (film):

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 08:12, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Озвучка. Было ли такое в Sonic the Hedgehog?
Guys, I don't understand one thing: how did Phil Lamarr suddenly voice Lightning Lynx from Archie Comics about Sonic? On the website deviantart.com there were records about SSZ Bios Lightning Lynx, and it is written that the voice actor of this character is Phil Lamarr. So why the fright did Phil voice the Lightning Lynx, does anyone know about it?￼ In F zu Fuß zu (talk) 13:08, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

Latin/Lesson 1-Subjunctive

Subjunctives
The Subjunctive is one of the three different moods a Latin verb can take. The two other moods are the Indicative and the Imperative. The subjunctive is perhaps the most common and also most difficult to grasp, and there are a great number of different subjunctive uses.

The subjunctive mainly expresses doubt or potential and what could have been. Whereas the indicative declares "this happened" or "that happened," the imperative is called 'jussive,' which is from 'iubere' - to command, bid.

 * Examples
 * "Let me go" and "May I go?" are statements of potential; the speaker is not entirely certain his/her command will be followed.
 * "Were I a king, I would have a golden throne." -this expresses what could be true, but is not. Speaker is not a king, and so will not get the throne.
 * "May the force be with you!" expresses the hope/potential that the force (Star Wars) will be with you. The essential word here is 'may' - "May the force be with you."

"If this were to happen," or "May this happen!" or "I ask you to make this happen" are all possible uses of the subjunctive.

There are four subjunctives: present, imperfect, perfect, and pluperfect. There are no subjunctives in the future tense, which already incorporates an element of doubt.

The Present Subjunctive
The present subjunctive is similar to the present indicative, except marked by a change of the theme vowel.

present stem + theme vowel change + ending

Form
In the present subjunctive, the theme vowel for every conjugation changes; in effect, the first conjugation masquerades as the second conjugation and all the other conjugations take on the appearance of the first.

Some ways to remember this are in the following collapsed table.

Example Conjugation
porto, portare, portavi, portatus (1st conjugation - to carry)

Present Indicative
This is the present active indicative form of portāre, which has already been covered.

Remember the join vowels.

Present Subjunctive
The present active subjunctive of portare would be conjugated as follows:

Notice:
 * The -ā- vowel stem has changed to an -ē-.
 * The personal endings -m, -s, -t, -mus, -tis, -nt are used, as is done for regular indicative verbs.

Present Subjunctive of Esse
The present active subjunctive of sum, esse, the verb "to be", is conjugated as follows:

Unlike the conjugation of the present active indicative form, the present subjunctive is regular. The same personal endings are affixed to si-.

Present Subjunctive of Posse
Translates as "May I/you/he/we/you/they be able"

Imperfect Subjunctive
The imperfect subjunctive is formed by adding the personal endings -m, -s, -t, -mus, -tis, -nt or the passive endings -r, -ris, -tur, -mur, -mini, -ntur to the present infinitive active (often the second principal part). In other words, for

vocō, vocāre, vocāvī, vocātum

The imperfect subjunctives are formed thus:

For deponent verbs, whose second principal part is the passive infinitive (e.g., cōnārī, verērī, patī, expedīrī) a pseudo present infinitive is used (e.g, cōnāre, verēre, patere, expedīre; although these forms do not exist as stand-alone infinitives, they actually ARE the singular imperatives for these deponent verbs)

The imperfect subjunctive of the verb to be (sum, esse) is conjugated regularly, as are ALL irregular verbs, e.g.: possem, vellem, nollem, ferrem, irem)

Uses of the Subjunctive
Verbs in the subjunctive mood may assume special meaning in specific constructions.

Volitive or Optative Clauses
Subjunctives in independent clauses are often translated as volitive/optative (that is, as a wish). Volitives/optatives show an intention for an action to occur; e.g. "amet" may be translated in volitive/optative context as "may he love"

Hortatory
A suggestion or command in first person (most often plural); e.g. "cedamus" as an hortatory subjunctive is "let us depart"

Jussive
A suggestion or command in third person; e.g. "cedat" as a jussive subjunctive is "let her depart"; "deprehendatur"= "Let him be seized"

Potential
The potential or possibility of something happening, in any person: (Fortasse) te amem. "Perhaps I may love you."

All of these Subjunctive types can be used in an independent (main) clause. Note that all can be translated with "let" or "may"; the differences lie in how English will represent the subjunctive verb:

 * Volitive (Wish): May we be friends forever!
 * Hortatory (Suggestion): Let us be friends!
 * Jussive (Command): Let them be friends!
 * Potential (Possibility): They may be friends; we may be friends; you may be friends.

Purpose Clauses
A purpose clause is a dependent clause used, as the name shows, to show purpose. Often initiated by an indicative verb, the clause contains a subjunctive verb in either the present or imperfect tense. Present and imperfect verbs in purpose clauses should be translated with the auxiliary verbs "may" and "might," respectively. For example, "Marcus urbem condidit ut regeret" should be translated as "Marcus built the city so that he would rule." These appear frequently in Latin.

Relative Clauses
A relative clause is an independent clause introduced by a relative pronoun. When the verb of a relative clause is in the subjunctive mood the clause may express result, purpose, or characteristic.

 * Result: The field is so large that he could not plow it in one day.
 * Purpose: He sent envoys who would pacify the city.
 * Characteristic: Who is so ill-prepared who would fight without a shield?

Anoteropsis forsteri

Anoteropsis forsteri is a species of wolf spider that is endemic to New Zealand.

Etymology
The species is named after the arachnologist Raymond Forster, who mentored the describer of this species.

Taxonomy
Anoteropsis forsteri was described in 2002.

Description
Anoteropsis forsteri is very similar to A. litoralis which occupies similar habitat, but can be distinguished by morphological features of their reproductive organs.

Habitat and distribution
Anoteropsis forsteri occupies sand dunes and beaches, where their colouration allows them to camouflage into the background very easily. They can be found in these habitats south of 44°S in New Zealand (Many habitats to the north are typically occupied by A. litoralis, a similar species).
