Burton Morse House

The Burton Morse House, at 136 Tenth Ave. N. in Twin Falls, Idaho, was built in 1908. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.

It is a one-and-a-half-story weatherboarded house which was designed by local architect Burton Morse in Colonial Revival style, to serve as his own house. Its gabled front facade has flared cornice returns and a prominent, Classical Revival-style portico.

The house was deemed:"one of the best local examples of Colonial Revival residential design in Twin Falls. The symmetrical presentation of classical details allows this cottage to convey a stately yet unpretentious appearance. Frontal symmetry, combined with a free interpretation of classical Colonial features and the expression of interior functions on the side elevations make this house a true product of its era. The Colonial Revival style references the classicism that pervaded much of American residential design during this period, while the less formal and slightly asymmetrical treatment of side elevations reflects the 'modern' movements coming into vogue at this time. / The 1908 design by Morse, a locally prominent architect, is a striking contrast to his grand public works and shows the range of his talents. Burton Morse is still remembered today, not only for his buildings, but also for his role as an early civic leader in Twin Falls."

An original garage, though deteriorated in 1992, reflects the house's architecture and was deemed a second contributing building on the property.

Morse also designed the Ramona Theater in Buhl, Idaho, which is also listed on the National Register.

Joseph Edmund Sterrett

Joseph Edmund Sterrett (June 17, 1870 – March 22, 1934) was an American accountant, known as one of "accountancy's most active pioneers" and the 11th inductee into the Accounting Hall of Fame in 1953.

Biography
Born in Brockway, Pennsylvania to minister Ezekiel Sterrett and Martha Jane McCurdy Sterrett, Sterrett started working for a coal company in Beechtree, Pennsylvania at the age of 17, and moved into accountancy work. In 1899 he obtained his Certified Public Accountant license for the state of Pennsylvania.

At the age of 21 in 1891 Sterrett joined the public accountancy office of John W. Francis, where he became a partner in 1893. Their firm Francis & Sterrett merged into Price Waterhouse & Co. in 1907, whereby Sterrett became and remained senior partner. Sterrett was member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and served as its president from 1908 to 1910, its treasurer from 1919 to 1922, and its counsel member in 1916–18 and 1927–33. He was also one of the founding members of the Pennsylvania Institute of CPAs in 1897, where he also served in several functions.

Since the 1910s Sterrett was involved in public serves for the Federal Government, started with his participation in the Commission on Economy and Efficiency in 1911 and in the Excess profits tax during World War I. Merino (2014) summarized that "his work after World War I would bring him international recognition. In 1920 he set up the administration of the Repatriation Commission in France. In 1924 he was called back to Europe, where he spent two years as the American member of the Transfer Committee that managed reparation payments under the Dawes Plan. He received decorations from four countries, Belgium, France, Germany, and Italy, for his work on this committee."

Professional ethics, 1907
In the 1922 article Ethics of Accountancy, Edward P. Moxey explained, that the subject of ethics for the accountant is one which has engaged the attention of the members of that profession for quite a number of years. In fact, the subject was one of those presented before the Congress of Accountants, meeting at St. Louis in September, 1904. Prior to that time, however, definite rules of professional conduct had been formulated by the accounting societies of England for their members. In the latter part of 1905 a bill was introduced into Parliament by the Government of Tasmania for the regulation of the profession of accountancy. This bill made mention specifically of certain actions on the part of accountants which were to be regarded as unprofessional, and the practice of which should render them liable to fine, suspension or expulsion.

Moxey (1922) further told, that at the Convention of the American Association of Public Accountants (now American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) held at St. Paul, Minnesota, in October, 1907, Sterrett presented a paper on "Professional Ethics" which became the standard treatise in the decades to come. This paper was characterized at that time by Robert Hiester Montgomery, as one "which bids fair to become a classic." Sterrett called attention to the fact that the older professions of law and medicine had even at that time (1907) made considerable progress in the development of systems of professional ethics, and called attention also to the work being accomplished along that line by the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. In measuring the distinction between the accountant as a member of one of the newer professions, as contrasted with the lawyer or physician, Sterrett stated:

"A lawyer's real opinion of another lawyer, or that of one physician concerning another, is usually a much more accurate judgment of the man's character and ability than is indicated by the reputation which he bears in the community at large. It may be that the opinion of the public and that of those who know the man from the inside, as it were, will coincide. This is likely to be the case with men of good ability and fine character, but the sham and the trickster are likely to be weighed and labeled by their professional brethren long before their real character is discovered by outsiders. Under ordinary circumstances regard for the good name of his profession seals the lips of the professional man about matters concerning others in his own profession. The physician considers it quite unethical to pass harsh judgment upon his brother physician, except under the most urgent conditions. As accountants endeavoring to build up professional ideals, we should feel that the good name of -our profession requires us to avoid all needless reference to the weaknesses or imperfections of other accountants."

Moxey (1922) commented, that while since that time there have been more or less serious infringements of the rules of ethics as laid down for the guidance of accountants, yet these have been dealt with fairly and impartially by committees on professional conduct of the American Association of Public Accountants and of its successor, the American Institute of Accountants. The work of these committees has always tended towards the improvement and development of the profession, to the end that there shall be a recognition on the part of its practitioners as well as on the part of the general public, that all who are its members not only are those of high professional attainment, but those in whom the moral ideal exists in more than name only.

In recognition of Sterrett's contributions to the accounting profession, the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants recognizes donors who give $1,000 or more to the Pennsylvania CPA Foundation with the Joseph E. Sterrett Award. The Pennsylvania CPA Foundation's mission is to inspire students to pursue a career in accounting and provide educational, motivational, and financial support to those looking to earn the CPA credential.

Fenix (Alexander Mamonov)

Fenix aka DJ Fenix (Real Name: Alexander Mamonov) (born 5 July 1986 ) is a house music and electronic dance music deejay, producer and musician, born and raised in Moscow, Russia. In 2017, Fenix won the Remix of The Year Award for his remix of Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling". Fenix is the first electronic dance music deejay to perform at the Kremlin in Moscow.

Early life
Alexander Mamonov was born in 1986, he grew up in Moscow (Russia) in a military family. During his youth, Alexander was in the volleyball team at school, ultimately gaining a spot at the youth Olympic volleyball team of Russia. He left his volleyball team, once he decided to dedicate himself to music. His musical style was influenced by the music that his father used to listened to.

Inspired by hip-hop and classic rock, he became interested in Moscow electronic music. When he turned 16, he began his career as a DJ at a local club. Afterwards, he started performing in the city.

2004–06: Moscow club scene
Fenix began his career playing in Moscow clubs in 2004, later on he collaborated with British dance duo Supafly.

2007–09: Supafly – I Believe
Together with Supafly he recorded and released his first international single "I Believe" in 2007. The single charted and aired on radio in the US, Australia, Germany and UK.

2010–13: Best DJ Award and touring
In 2012, Fenix received the Best DJ award at the Music Entertainment Awards. He resumed his live performances for the next few years, sharing stage with David Guetta and Bob Sinclar.

2014–16: Kremlin and Music Box Award
In November 2014, Fenix was the first EDM musician to perform live in the Kremlin as an introductory act at the 2014 Musicbox Awards ceremony, where he received a Best DJ award. Fenix made his US debut which led to the release of his first single Cosmo Zoo in the US. Before the release of the album, he made a New York tour in January 2015. On 16 February 2015 "Cosmo Zoo" debuted in 11th place on the chart of Beatport Progressive House. He followed the single with the release of "Eternity" in April 2015.

In April 2016, Fenix released "Satellite" with the participation of Frankie. This track was the second single by Fenix on Carrillo Music, aired on Y100 radio station Miami, FM. Then he released Justin Timberlake's remix of "Can't Stop the Feeling" which ended up trending # 1 at New York's 103.5 KTU music station for three weeks, ranking in the top 30 remixes by Shawn Hamilton.

2017–present: All Around the World
In March 2017, Mamonov released his next single, All Around the World, dedicated to Chris Casino on Spotify, iTunes and Beatport. In the same month, Fenix performed at the 2nd Annual Remix Awards 2017 which is a part of the 2017 Miami Music Week.

Mamonov performs mostly for Western audiences in the United States and Europe. He explained this fact by the difficulties of conducting his professional activity in Russia for EDM musicians and lack of opportunities in distribution of their work through popular services such as Spotify, Pandora and SoundCloud, since these services are blocked in his country.

Personal life
He released an app in 2007 titled "You Can be a DJ," to assist young DJs.

I will write this about how to kill a little shit named Brandon. First off you will want to grab a hard clicking pen and jab it into his side as hard as you can, that of course being the button side of the pen not the point. next you will need to get a car and ram the living shit out of him until his body is completely drained of all fluids then you will want to grab an exacto knife and do the following: cut off eyes, ears, and nose, remove all bones and organs, roll up body and body materials in a tarp, grind up tarp and burn the remains. once the remains are burned you will want to make another fire and burn the ashes again mixing them together and then throwing them into the ocean. This is how you kill a little shit named Brandon by Connor Vriabel

Cookbook:Salt

| Basic foodstuffs | Spices and herbs

Salt, or sodium chloride, is a mineral, one of the few that people eat. Saltiness is one of the basic flavors perceived by our taste buds, along with sweet, sour, bitter, and umami. Salt is required for life, but overconsumption can increase the risk of health problems, including high blood pressure. Salt can be reduced by 20% to 45% without compromising taste if a small amount of MSG is added to the food. Salt is also used to preserve food.

History
Salt has a long, varied, and sometimes violent history. It has been a highly valued trade item throughout history. Wars have been fought over it, states formed and destroyed because of it. During the late Roman Empire era and throughout the Middle Ages, salt was a precious commodity carried along the "Salt Roads" into the heartland of the Germanic tribes. Cites, states and dukedoms along the salt roads exacted heavy duties and taxes for the salt passing through their territories. This practice has caused wars, and it even started the formation of cities, such as the city of Munich in 1158 when the then-duke of Bavaria, Henry II, decided that the bishops of Freising no longer needed their salt revenue.

Types of salt
For the most part, the various grades of salt are all the same; chemically most are greater than 99% sodium chloride, but the structure varies widely.

 * Simple table salt consists of small, compact cubic grains, usually with iodine added.

 * Kosher salt has a much more irregular structure, no iodine, and a larger surface area. Chefs prefer it for some dishes because of its texture and a seemingly "cleaner" taste from being without iodine.. The name comes its role in "koshering" meat: preparing it in accordance with Jewish dietary law (kosher).

 * Popcorn salt/Canning and pickling is ground salt that dissolves very quickly and able to dissolve in cold fluid.

 * Rock salt is large chunks of sodium chloride.

These differences in structure can cause a significant change in the perceived flavor of the salt and its usefulness for particular recipes. The speed with which it dissolves is also very important, with finer salts such as pickling salt even dissolving readily in cold liquid.

Table salt also contains anti-caking agents to allow it to flow freely, and sometimes contains very small amounts of iodine.

Sea salt, which is made from evaporating seawater, also varies considerably. Because there are impurities in the water, each sea salt has a unique taste and is prized in different cuisines or for different applications. Sea salts often tend to cost considerably more than other kinds of salt; however, in areas with large seawater evaporation industries (such as California) the "table salt" in local stores may actually be sea salt.

Black salt (also kala namak, sanchal) is an unrefined mineral salt used in Indian cuisine. It has a sulphuric flavour, and is actually a pinkish gray, not black.

Production
Salt comes from two sources, mining natural halite deposits and evaporation of seawater.

Uses
Salt has many uses in cooking beyond simple flavoring. Its chief utility lies in its osmotic properties. Salting the surface of food draws out water and anything dissolved in it. When meat is koshered, it is heavily salted to draw out any remaining blood. Kosher salt, because of its structure, is perfectly suited to this task. This technique is also applied to eggplant to remove bitter flavors and alter the texture of the plant, and also when sweating aromatic ingredients such as onion or garlic over low heat to draw out their moistures and soften them.

Salt is frequently used in fermented foods, both for drawing the liquids out of vegetables and to inhibit the activity of undesirable bacteria. It is generally recommended that non-iodised salt be used for fermenting, because iodine is an effective antibacterial substance and can thus inhibit the fermentation a little. Iodised salt will work in a ferment, but it is better to use a non-iodised salt like pickling salt or kosher salt.

Salt also tends to enhance our perception of other flavors, particularly that of sweetness. This explains its use in ice cream, for example, or kettle corn. Most candy recipes have a small amount of salt which cannot be directly detected, but has a noticeable effect on the final result. This is because salt lands on the taste buds and sort of opens them up for other flavors

Salt's thermal properties are useful in a few applications, notably in home-made ice cream. The action of rock salt dissolving in ice water makes a solution colder than ice itself.. Ice cream makers, then, sit the salt-and-ice mixture in an insulated container, and inside that is placed a highly conductive container of the cream mixture, which freezes rapidly.

Salt can be used to "fry" food as well. Large amounts of rock salt are heated in an oven to temperature (varies, generally about 400°F or 200°C). After the salt gets hot, the food is placed in the salt and an additional layer of pre-heated salt is poured on top. This method is an extremely fast way to get heat into food, second only to deep frying, consequently, cooking times will be very short.

When salt is added to boiling water for pasta or potatoes, the temperature of the water can rise by a very slight amount (less than a degree). The main effect is flavoring. However, you are salting the water, not directly salting the food. Thus the amount of salt should vary according to the amount of water; quite a bit is usually required.

Lastly, salt is of course used as a direct flavoring. Ordinary table salt is most often used for this purpose; it brings out the taste of the other ingredients and has added iodine which prevents goiter. Many gourmets, however, prefer uniodized coarse salt because they have a sort of "cleaner" taste. Sea salt also has a potential to have health benefits that other salts lack because of the minerals and whatnot in the ocean.

Polish/Polish pronunciation

^ Polish ^ < Some useful expressions >

Polish pronunciation is rather regular. Once you learn the rules, you should be able to guess how a word is pronounced and get it more or less right even if you've never heard it before (unlike English which is rather unpredictable).

Vowels are pronounced similarly to their counterparts in most other European languages (not English though) but note, there are no long vowels.

Stress is almost always on the penultimate (next-to-last) syllable.

(b d f h k l m n p t z are pronounced as you'd expect them to be.)

Special letters are:

Special letter combos are:

 * In most cases, vowels are pronounced separately, for example, stoi, moi, twoi, nauczyć, zaufać, (to milk),  (Ukraine),  (name of a region),  (atheist)
 * Vowel combos right at the beginning of a word are typically pronounced as a diphthong (these are generally loanwords). For example, (personal name),  (autograph),  (Europe).

 * If you don't know how to pronounce hard/soft pairs ( (liquid) ) you can use the same form and you will usually be understood. Note: While the rule seems to be effective in most cases, the word ciecz might not be the best example for it. If you end up pronouncing it so that is sounds similar to cieć (pronounced "ćeć", colloq. janitor), you may get funny looks, especially from older speakers (due to the humorous context it had in the old comedy series Alternatywy 4).

 * Doubled consonants are pronounced individually or lengthened, for example, (daily),  (receptive), lekki (light), oddech (breath), dziennik (daily newspaper), zza (from beyond, behind), greccy ("Greek", masculine, plural, nominative adjective), or ssak (mammal).

Devoicing is not something you need to focus on but you should be aware of it.
 * You may also notice something called final devoicing, for example:
 * chodź (come!) sounds like choć (although) : (be {imperative})
 * final ż sounds more like sz : (because, since),  (although)
 * final b → p : (method)
 * final g → k : (train)
 * final d → t : (error),  (from over there)
 * final w → f : (puff),  (first)
 * final z → s : (sensibly)

Vowel Reduction in Polish Language
Vowel reduction is a significant aspect of the phonological system of the Polish language. It refers to the phenomenon where vowels in unstressed syllables undergo changes in quality.

The Nature of Vowel Reduction
In Polish, vowel reduction primarily occurs in unstressed syllables. The full vowels /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/ and /y/ can be reduced when they are not in the stressed position. The sound of a word changes according to vowel reduction when unstressed vowels are pronounced differently than stressed vowels. Unstressed vowels are often reduced to a schwa sound (a neutral vowel sound like the "e" in "the"), while stressed vowels are pronounced more clearly and with their full vowel sound. This can affect the overall pronunciation of a word and can make it sound quite different when spoken in context. The exact nature of the reduction can depend on a variety of factors, including the phonetic environment, the speed of speech, and individual speaker variation.

Examples of Vowel Reduction
Here are some examples of vowel reduction in Polish:

 * In the word 'kotek' (kitten), the 'e' is reduced, often pronounced closer to [i].
 * In the word 'lampa' (lamp), the second 'a' is reduced, often pronounced closer to [ə].

Factors Influencing Vowel Reduction
Several factors can influence the occurrence and degree of vowel reduction in Polish:

 * **Position in the word**: Vowels in final position are often reduced.
 * **Speech rate**: In fast speech, vowel reduction is more likely to occur.
 * **Individual variation**: Different speakers may reduce vowels to different degrees.

Premature edit action
The Bold - Revert - Discuss cycle is a useful part of Wikipedia procedure.

Deletion of my quotation of the judge in the Roundup trials
My contribution to the article, from a book that just came out this year: However, Judge Chhabria pointed to scientific testimony from epidemiology, oncology, and other medical specialties in the first three trials. Then he wrote, "Monsanto lost the battle of the experts."

15:20, 15 March 2023 KoA  talk contribs  100,932 bytes −453   Pretty WP:UNDUE compared to reliable sources, and definitely shouldn't be pulling from someone involved in the trial. undothank Tag: Undo

In other words, KoA appears to be claiming the JUDGE in the case -- a person selected to be objective in the trial -- is not reliable. Also, this quotation appears in a book published this year by Johns Hopkins University Press. Would KoA say Johns Hopkins University Press is unreliable?

And wouldn't we be using a double standard if Wikipedia quotes Clarence Darrow, an attorney, for 54 words in direct advocacy for his client, and doesn't let me quote seven words from a judge -- not an attorney, but a judge? Sunandmoonandstars (talk) 16:47, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * The book is written by one of the people who testified at the trial (and tried to make claims considered WP:UNDUE here) claiming that glyphosate caused cancer. That is far from an independent source to use for depictions. KoA (talk) 17:03, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Do you believe Johns Hopkins University Press would say the judge in the case said, "Monsanto lost the battle of the experts." if he did not say that?
 * We should be able to quote the judge just as we quote Clarence Darrow (or any noteworthy person) about his client.
 * You don't have to agree with the quotation. The judge could even be wrong. However, it is the ACCURACY of ATTRIBUTION that makes this Wikpedia material, not whether you like it. If we can quote Clarence Darrow, we should be able to quote ANYONE of interest. Sunandmoonandstars (talk) 00:28, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * WP:ONUS is pretty clear that verifiable doesn't not equate to automatic inclusion. That is why I mentioned WP:DUE policy, especially with low quality sources like this. KoA (talk) 15:43, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Edit request?
@Yngvadottir, I was a bit confused by your edit summary Updated Right to privacy section with 2021 fine, as requested and as noted at the unnameable site. Could you clarify where that edit request came from or by who? There are a few topic-banned editors in this topic, one being that was involved in this particular bit of content before they were banned. Hopefully I'm wrong and it came from somewhere else, but if it's the website I assume it is, I won't go into details here except it at there's a pretty high likelihood of inadvertent WP:PROXYING. KoA (talk) 16:09, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * The request was the addition of an update section tag on 24 August by . You may want to reinstate it and/or move the section to "investigations", because it's the same matter but a fine by a government agency rather than a settlement of the lawsuit; Skyerise may want to weigh in on that. My attention was drawn to the tag by a post on the site you are probably thinking of, which linked to an update on fr.wikipedia. I made my own search, hoping for an English-language source, and as noted in my edit summary, found one; I also saw that our account required some copyediting (& in the text) and named a person without explanation, so I fixed that while I was at it. I often make improvements to articles that are highlighted on that site as having deficiencies. I hope that allays the concern about proxying, which I had in mind when I was upfront in my edit summary, since I haven't edited this article before; but I see now that the "as requested" part referring to the tag was less than clear, partly because I removed a blank line so the diff isn't side by side. I'm sorry, on a contentious topic like this I should have explicitly said "removed section update tag". If it does not allay the concern, you or anyone else can of course undo my edit and replace it with a better update. Yngvadottir (talk) 20:27, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I spent some time looking at that site, and didn't find the mention there (which I might have just missed). I don't know who the account was that posted whatever caught your attention, but especially given that the material is on fr.wikipedia, I have a significant concern that this might be someone who is topic-banned from editing this page. As such, I still think that there are some concerns about WP:BAN, even if unintentional. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:39, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * If anyone disagrees with my position that the update tag, my fixing other issues with our summary, and my addition of an English-language source that I searched for don't constitute enough of an independent reason for me to make the change under WP:PROXYING, then as I say, go ahead and revert and update the article in a better way instead, with or without reinstatement of the tag. Yngvadottir (talk) 20:53, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I saw the post you are referring to then and won't say anything more about it specifically here since it's off-site stuff. That said, when someone points out things while off-site to hint at getting someone else to edit, that is pretty textbook proxying (on their part). As I alluded to, I assumed it was entirely unintentional on your part not knowing about the topic-ban. I do feel like we have to take a hard line against that though since it taints even well-meaning edits. I'm going to sleep on it anyways (busy season here), but it's just a pain for everyone around to have to deal with because of how attention was drawn to it. KoA (talk) 02:34, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

GCSE Science/Movement

< Forces

How can we describe the way things move?

Motion has two basic properties, direction and speed.

Objects in our universe travel in three fundamental directions. We usually describe these directions, or axes, using the letters x, y and z. When we are describing motion close to, or with respect to, the Earth's surface we usually align the axes such that the z direction points vertically. Most people will then choose the x axis to point right and the y axis to point forwards (right-handed co-ordinate System). Motion in any other direction is the same as simultaneously moving in any of these three directions.

Speed is how fast an object covers a particular distance per unit of time. The units of distance are most commonly specified in meters or some power of ten multiple of meters (millimeter, kilometer, etc.), but other imperial units, such as inches and miles are sometimes used. Nearly everyone uses seconds, minutes, and hours as the unit of time. In scientific reports, seconds are used exclusively.

Together these two ideas form the notion of velocity, directed motion.

The language we use to describe motion in our universe is the vector, which exists in three dimensions. A vector is similar to an arrow in three dimensional space (i.e. it has a direction associated with it.) You will learn more about this in maths.

314th Military Intelligence Battalion (United States)

The 314th Military Intelligence Battalion is a Military Intelligence Battalion of the United States Army Reserve located in San Diego County and Los Angeles County, California. The organization trains to conduct theater-level interrogation operations, detainee screening, document and media exploitation (DOMEX), target exploitation (TAREX), strategic debriefing, counterintelligence, and analysis in support of the deployed Commander's Theater Interrogation Facility (TIF) or as the Army component of the Joint Interrogation and Debriefing Center (JIDC).

Lineage and honors
The history of the 314th Military Intelligence Battalion begins in World War II during the Allies' final push for victory in the Pacific. On 27 February 1945, the 314th Headquarters Intelligence Detachment was activated near Dulag, Leyte, Philippine Islands and assigned to the 96th Infantry Division with subordinate teams such as the 389th Translator Team, 344th Interrogation Team, and 372nd Interpreter Team. The 314th Headquarters Intelligence Detachment was made up of Lieutenant Allen E. Beach and ten enlisted men. The unit was to interface with the division's G-2 and coordinate the activities of five intelligence teams responsible for a variety of intelligence functions ranging from photo interpretation to interrogations. Oral histories from 314th veterans indicate that they did not use, and possibly were not even aware of, the separate subordinate team designations.

The ten enlisted men serving with the 314th constituted one of military intelligence's most important "secret" weapons of the war. The use of second generation Japanese-Americans or Nisei.(As youngsters, many had received formal schooling in the Japanese language.) Following a refresher course at the Army's Language School at Camp Savage, Minnesota, they left for the Pacific where they served as interrogators, interpreters, and translators. The ten Nisei assigned to the 314th included Fred Fukushima, Akira Ohoi, Herbert Yamamura, Takejiro Higa, Fred Nonaka, Osamu Yamamoto, Thomas Masui, Haruo Kawana, Warren Higa, and Rudy Kawahara.

By early 1945, the campaign for Leyte was in its final stages. In February, the 96th Infantry Division was relieved of all combat duty in the Philippines and began training for an assault on the Japanese-held island of Okinawa for Operation Iceberg. Tech Sergeant Takejiro Higa of the 314th related how he reacted to learning about the invasion of Okinawa. " ... entering the tent my heart nearly stopped beating as I saw hung before me a large blown-up map of the southern half of Okinawa. Chills ran up my spine as I realized the next target would be that part of Okinawa where I had lived for 14 years and left merely 6 years before."

On 25 March the first elements departed for the Ryukyu Islands, a chain running southwest from Japan toward Taiwan. The 314th Detachment left a day later aboard the USS Mendocino. The 96th Infantry Division was among the units chosen to lead the assault. However, when they landed on Okinawa on 1 April there was surprisingly no opposition and by nightfall over 60,000 troops were ashore. It would be the calm before the storm. What lay ahead was America's bloodiest campaign against Imperial Japan. The island was dotted with hills, ravines, and caves-the last of natural rock and coral, providing any defender with ready-made fortifications and storehouses.

Because the Allies had taken so few prisoners during the war in the Pacific, translation of documents became a critical source of intelligence, as would prove to be the case in the Okinawa campaign. Besides intelligence work, the Nisei were able to persuade some enemy soldiers into surrendering and to talk local civilians out of hiding. All of which was done at great personal risk, but the result saved many lives including those of American soldiers. The campaign for the Ryukyus represented the last major battle of World War II for the American soldier. In July the 314th returned to Mindoro in the Philippine Islands and remained there until the end of the war. Following World War II, the 314th played an important role during the occupation period. There was a need for linguists to assist in rounding up war criminals and protecting the occupying forces-all important missions for Army intelligence. On 31 October 1945, the commander of the 314th departed for Korea. (Once in country, the detachment began picking up replacement personnel.) Here it served with the XXIV Corps, which was given the responsibility for accepting the transfer of Japanese control. On 25 March 1947, the 314th was inactivated in Korea.

From 21 May 1948 to 30 June 1950, the 314th served as a Reserve unit in Boston, Massachusetts. On 10 August 1950, the 314th was redesignated as Headquarters, 314th Military Intelligence Battalion. One result of the Korean War and increased tensions in Europe during the early 1950s was the introduction of group and battalion-size units to military intelligence. On 30 August it was again activated; this time in Cleveland, Ohio. At the end of the Korean War, the need for the 314th went away, and the battalion was inactivated on 1 April 1953. Its final tour in the Reserves began on 16 September 1988 when it was redesignated as Headquarters, Headquarters and Service Company, 314th Military Intelligence Battalion, and activated at Detroit, Michigan. On 15 September 1997, the 314th was inactivated. For over 50 years, the members of the 314th MI Battalion have served proudly in support of the Nation, its Army, and Military Intelligence. On 16 June 2000, the 314th MI Battalion began a new chapter and assumed a new mission upon its activation at San Antonio, Texas, and assignment to the 116th Military Intelligence Brigade, and then to the Army Reserve in San Diego 16 October 2012.

Coat of arms
Shield: Argent, within a cross quarter pierced Azure (Oriental Blue) the device from the flag of Okinawa Proper; on a chief wavy Sable a dagger and a key wards up saltirewise of the first.

Crest: From a wreath Argent and Azure (Oriental Blue) a sun of sixteen rays in glory Or surmounted by a Japanese "Hutatue-domoe" (sphere of two commas) Gules and overall in base two swords blades up saltirewise of the third. Motto: SAPIENTIA ET VERITAS (Wisdom and Truth).

Distinctive Unit Insignia Description
A silver color metal and enamel device 1+1/8 in in height overall consisting of a shield blazoned: Argent, within a cross quarter pierced Azure (Oriental Blue) the device from the flag of Okinawa Proper; on a chief wavy Sable a dagger and a key wards up saltirewise of the first. Attached below the shield a black scroll inscribed "SAPIENTIA ET VERITAS" in silver letters.

Origin/meaning
Oriental blue and silver/silver gray are the colors traditionally associated with the Military Intelligence Corps. The red and white Okinawa symbol represents the unit's Pacific service. The blue and white squares simulate a chess board band allude to strategy in gathering intelligence information. Black implies covert operations while the silver key and sword refer to securing information for military activities. Black and white also signify day and night operations. Crest: The sun represents the Pacific theater of war against Japan during World War II, its many rays symbolizing the islands of the Ryukyu group where the 314th saw action. The scarlet "sphere of two commas" represents Japan and suggests the rising sun symbol of Imperial Japan shattered by United States forces. The swords denote combat and readiness. Gold signifies excellence, scarlet indicates courage and sacrifice.

The Coat of Arms was originally approved on 9 May 1990. It was amended to include a crest on 22 June 2000. The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 8 May 1990.

Garden International School

Garden International School (GIS) is a private, co-educational international school in Mont Kiara, Segambut, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Founded in 1951, GIS is one of the oldest and most prestigious private schools in Malaysia. GIS is part of the Taylor's Education Group and a member of the Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA).

GIS provides British-based education for students ages 3 to 18 years old, with an Early Years Centre (age 3–5), Primary School (age 5–11) and Secondary School (age 11–18). GIS is one of the biggest private co-educational schools in Malaysia, with around 2,000 students.

Accredited by the Council of International Schools, GIS offers the British National Curriculum, including providing IGCSE and A Levels examinations.

Origins
Founded in 1951 as Garden School, the school was established by Sally Watkins, the wife of Kuala Lumpur Fire Brigade Chief Lt. Col. F.F.C. Watkins, in the Lake Gardens of Kuala Lumpur. It was one of the first international schools catering for expatriates in the Federation of Malaya.

Campus location
The school moved to Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur in 1955 due to a rapidly expanding roll and, after several moves to locations around the Klang Valley, moved to the present location in Mont Kiara in 1996.

International examinations
In 1966, Garden School was selected as the first school in Malaysia for the University of London's General Certificate of Education examination. It is fully accredited to offer both IGCSE and A Level examinations. Candidates sit examinations in the May/June series of each academic year.

Early Years Centre
Garden International School's Early Years Centre (EYC) is a preschool following the British EYFS curriculum. The bespoke centre is located in the residential community of Desa Sri Hartamas and follows the EYFS curriculum. The EYC is divided into Nursery (age 3–4) and Reception (age 4–5) classes; a flexible 'Pre-Nursery' enrolment option is also available for children who join the term that they turn 3, providing they are toilet trained and show school readiness.

The Centre offers a Jungle School programme, unique in Malaysia, which offers the children regular opportunities to learn and build confidence in a safe outdoor environment.

Primary school
Garden International School's Primary School provides an international curriculum based on the National Curriculum for England and Wales. Science, History, Geography and PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) are taught by classroom teachers, alongside specialist teachers supporting the teaching of Art, Design and Technology, Music, ICT, Physical Education and Modern Foreign Languages.

Secondary school
GIS' Secondary School students follow a full range of courses leading to International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) Examinations. The Key Stage 3 programme is based upon the English National Curriculum, with modifications to suit the school's context.

The school offers University of Cambridge International Examinations, with students sitting the majority of IGCSE examinations at the end of Year 11. At Sixth Form, the school offers AS & A-Level (both Cambridge International Examinations & Edexcel) courses. which are supplemented by bespoke subject electives and a summer professional internship programme, THRIVE.

In recent years, some subjects have chosen to take Edexcel in place of CIE, such as GCSE PE, A-Level Mathematics, Drama & Theatre Studies and Psychology.

In terms of academic performance, GIS' Secondary School is one of Asia's top performing international schools, with the majority of graduates going to the world's top 100 universities.

Staff
The Principal of Garden International School is Simon Mann. The Head of Secondary is Amy Ward and the Head of Primary is Nicola Nelson.

The school employs over 81% of expatriate teachers, mostly originating from the UK.

In addition to the large academic body, the school also employs administrative staff, specialist sport coaches, counsellors and student service staff.

Notable alumni

 * Rebekah Yeoh – businesswoman and philanthropist
 * Kira Narayanan – actress, anchor, musician and TV personality

IGCSE
The following subjects are available for IGCSEs in GIS:

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

Reviewer: Kingsif (talk · contribs) 00:40, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Style

 * Lead too short for article
 * Lead does not make clear the relationship between what it calls two different series, which is quite confusing
 * Plot is very short and also not a plot: it vaguely describes who Holmes is
 * The first three paragraphs of the Development section would serve better as one. The information should also be linked better.
 * Quote blocks seem to take over the development section, some of which should be in casting and some in response. Could easily be lighter on the quoting, but article at least needs to be structured better
 * Could also condense paragraphs, cut down on quotes, in the Hiatus section
 * The info in Planned continuation, Unused scripts, and German remake could easily be made part of the top section of Episodes
 * Needs work

Coverage

 * Lead barely informative, is misleading, doesn't cover main points of article
 * Plot is non-existent
 * Production seems good from info available
 * German remake is mostly a statement that it exists; if there is no more info on it, could this be incorporated well somewhere else rather than have a one-line section?
 * Reception only has one critic. Fair if only one exists, but not a good view of the general reception otherwise.
 * Fail

Illustration

 * Episode list could use the standard episode template, and maybe a small box above indicating that those highlighted grey don't or only partially survive
 * Fair use infobox image
 * If commons images of actors exist, they could be included.
 * Needs attention

Verifiability

 * All sources seem good
 * Several members of the cast, including all Holmeses, are not cited (at least in Cast section)
 * "Years later, Wilmer would briefly return to the role...", "repeated between July and September 1970, again in a different running order" and "Twelve of the Cushing episodes..." seem to be unreffed
 * BBC Video part unreffed
 * After "Twelve of the Cushing episodes", the ref is a note and should be made into one (see Template:efn)
 * Fail

Neutrality

 * Good, unless there are more reviews and it's built curated bias through only including one...
 * pass

Stability

 * seems good
 * Pass

Copyright

 * Check looks fine, just heavy on quoting
 * Fair use image with justification
 * Pass

Overall

 * on hold style and coverage issues that need addressing. Article needs restructure and expansion. Kingsif (talk) 00:40, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * in case missed the talk page notification Kingsif (talk) 18:34, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Biochemistry/Proteins/The chemistry of proteins

General features
Amino acids consist of a primary amine bound to an aliphatic carbon atom (the so-called α-carbon), which in turn is bound to a carboxylic acid group. At least one hydrogen atom is bound to the α-carbon; in addition, the α-carbon bears a side chain, which is different for different amino acids. In a neutral aqueous solution, amino acids exist in two forms. A very small fraction of amino acid molecules will be neutral, with a deprotonated amino group and a protonated carboxylic acid group. However, the overwhelming majority of molecules will be in a Zwitterion tautomer, with a positive charge on the (protonated) amino group and a negative charge on the (deprotonated) carboxylate group.

Amino acids are linked via a Peptide bond. (From an organic chemistry perspective, a peptide bond is a type of amide group.) A peptide bond consists of a carbonyl group's carbon atom directly bound to the nitrogen atom of a secondary amine. A peptide chain will have an unbound amino group free at one end (called the N-terminus) and a single free carboxylate group at the other end (called the C-terminus).

The peptide bond is planar, because resonance between the carbonyl group and the amino nitrogen lends the C-N bond a partial double-bond character. (It is possible to draw a resonance structure with a double bond between the carbon atom and the nitrogen atom, with a formal negative charge on the oxygen atom and a formal positive charge on the nitrogen.) This prevents rotation around the C-N bond, locking the peptide bond in the trans conformation, and holding six atoms in a plane: the α-carbon of one amino acid, the carbonyl carbon and oxygen atoms, the amino nitrogen and hydrogen atoms, and the &alpha-carbon of the second amino acid are all co-planar.

The structure of a peptide chain's "backbone" can be described uniquely by the torsion angles between adjacent peptide units. The φ-angle is the torsion angle between the α-carbon and the carbonyl carbon of one amino acid; the ψ-angle is the torsion angle between the amino nitrogen and the α-carbon.

''Peptide bond formation Two amino acids with different side chains react when the amino-terminus (red) of one joins the carboxy-terminus (blue) of another are linked by an amide bond (green). See also the mechanism of peptide bond formation.''

It is important to note that the formation of this peptide bond is highly unfavorable under standard conditions. However, in the human body, there are enzymes that assist in facilitating this reaction, making peptide bond formation and proteins possible.

Chemical classification of aminoacids
The 20 amino acids encoded by the genetic code are:

They are not shown in their zwitterionic state for clarity. At physiological pH (~pH 6.8), all would be so, except proline, which is a five-membered ring. Charged side-chains are shown ionic when they exist as such at physiological pH.

Protein Electrophoresis
Protein Electrophoresis is a method in which a mixture of proteins can be separated and analyzed. Electrophoresis is based on the mobility of ions in an electric field. The charge distribution of the molecules is critical in the separation of all electrophoresis. In an electric field, electrophoresis is a passage of charged molecules in solution. Positively charged ions have tendency toward a negative electrode and inversely, negatively charged ions have tendency toward a positive electrode. The molecular weight results to a molecular friction which is directly proportional to the molecular charge and its voltage and inversely proportional to a molecule's mobility in an electric field.

Gel electrophoresis is performed to analyze the molecular weights and the charge of the protein and is mostly used in electrophoresis of the protein. The gel electrophoresis is carried out in a thin piece of polyacrylamide. The crosslinked of acrylamide and N,N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide forms the polyacrylamide by polymerization. The size has an important effect in the movement of the protein molecule. The smaller molecules of protein would result in a faster passage of the molecules through the gel pores.

The separation of the protein molecules in the gel affects the protein activity. In this process, first the protein reduces the disruption of disulfide bonding by heating which results in purification and denaturalization. Next, the sodium dodecyl sulfate, abbreviated as SDS, (and ionic detergent) is added. SDS is an anionic detergent which dissolve hydrophobic molecules and denatures protein molecules without breaking peptide bonds. This result in the dislocation of the structure of the protein changes the secondary, tertiary and quaternary to the primary structure with negative charge. Then the protein is passed through the gel. For denatured proteins, SDS can form a steady charge mass ratio in binding with proteins.

The polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is a very sensitive method capable of a bearing a high resolution and it is analytically used in the studies in the separation techniques.

Isoelectric point
The isoelectric point (pI) is the pH-value in which a protein is neutral, that is, has zero net charge. To be clear, it is not the pH value where a protein has all bases deprotonated and all acids protonated, but rather the value where positive and negative charges cancel out to zero.

Calculating pI: An aminoacid with n ionizable groups with their respective pKa values pK1, pK2, ... pkn will have the pI equal to the average of the group pkas:

pI=(pK1+pK2+...+pkn)/n

Most proteins have many ionizable sidechains in addition to their amino- and carboxy- terminal groups. The pI is different for each protein and it can be theoretically calculated according Henderson-Hasselbalch equation if we know amino acids composition of protein.

In order to experimentally determine a protein's pI 2-Dimensional Electrophoresis (2-DE) can be used. The proteins of a cell lysate are applied to a pH immobilized gradient strip, upon electrophoresis the proteins migrate to their pI within the strip. The second dimension of 2-DE is the separation of proteins by MW using a SDS-gel. To clearly understand isoelectric point, you have to keep in mind that the positively charged groups are balanced by the negatively charged groups. For simple amino acid " alanine", the isoelectric point is an average of the PKa of the carboxyl with PK1 of (2.34) and ammonium with PK2 of (9.69) groups. So, the PI for the simple amino acid " alanine" is calculated as:(2.34+9.69)/2 which is equal to 6.02. When additional basic or acidic groups are added as a side-chain functions, the isoelectric point pI will be the average of the pKa's of the most similar acids. Example for this concept could be aspartic acid in which the similar acids are alpha-carboxyl function with pKa of 2.1 and the side chain carboxyl function with a pKa of 3.9. Thus, the pI for aspartic acid is (2.1+3.9)/2=3.0. Another example is arginine, its similar acids are guanidinium on the side chain with pKa of 12.5 and the alpha-ammonium function with pKa of 9.0. Thus the calculated pI for arginine= (12.5+9.0)/2=10.75. pI does not has a unite.

The peptidic bond
Two amino acid molecules can be covalently joined through a substituted amide linkage, termed a peptide bond, to yield a dipeptide. this link is formed by dehydration (removal of the water molecules - one hydrogen atom from one amino acid and an OH group from the other). This process can then continue to join other amino acids and yield in an amino acid chain. When there are few amino acids in a chain, it is called an oligopeptide, when there are many it is called a polypeptide. although the terms "protein" and "polypeptide" are sometimes used to describe the same thing, the term polypeptide is generally used when the molecular weight of the chain is below 10,000. An amino acid unit in a peptide is often called a residue.

Disulfide bonds
Disulfide bonds form between the sulfur atoms of two cysteine side chains in a protein. The side chains undergo a reversible oxidation of the sulfhydryl groups of the cysteine, which results in covalent bonding of the sulfur atoms (S-S). This bonding is called a "disulfide bridge". Typically, disulfides don't form on the surface of proteins because of the presence of reducing agents in the cytoplasm. These bonds are of great importance concerning the shaping of protein structure; their formation guides the folding of peptide chains as the proteins are produced. Structural proteins that have to be rigorously stable (for example, Keratin, which is found in nail, horn and crustacean shell) often contain a large number of disulfide bonds.

Post-translational modifications
After a protein is synthesized inside the cell, it is usually modified by the addition of extra functional groups to the polypeptide chain. These can be sugar or phosphate groups and may confer to the protein special functions such as: the ability to recognize other molecules, to integrate in the plasma membrane, to catalyze biochemical reactions, and various other processes. It is in the interest of the biochemist to understand what proteins are modified, what the modification is, and where it is located. An easy way to do this is by using mass spectrometry. In a sample of protein submitted to mass spectrometry you will see both modified and unmodified protein signals. The change in mass between these signals will correspond to the change in mass of your protein due to your post-translation modification.

How can I get a template for writing my biography?
Hi, can someone assist me by putting my biography on Wikipedia or send me a template for writing my biography? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Proflawal (talk • contribs) 09:53, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a place for people to post their biographies or otherwise tell the world about themselves. This is an encyclopedia, and as an encyclopedia Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a person, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person.(there are also more specific criteria for certain fields like musicians, athletes, politicians)  Wikipedia is not interested in what someone wants to say about themselves.  In order for you to succeed in writing about yourself, you need to forget everything you know about yourself, everything on your website and social media, and only write based on the content of independent sources completely unaffiliated with you say.(no press releases, no interviews)  Most people cannot do this. Please review the autobiography policy for more information.
 * If you meet the notability criteria, someone will eventually take note of your career in reliable sources and choose to write about you. Please understand that a Wikipedia article is not necessarily desirable.  There are good reasons to not want one; you cannot lock it to the text you might prefer or prevent others from editing it.  Any information about you, good or bad, can be in an article about you as long as it appears in an independent reliable source and is not defamatory. 331dot (talk) 10:00, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

KAMALA HARRIS (2)
I am disappointed in wikipedia because it always shows a lack of integrity when any source does not include "critics."

To be considered accurate and objective, the source must include both pros and cons of any person or thing. Your support of Kamala Harris is not only disturbing, but I shall cut my funding of wikipedia immediately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:37, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Donating or not donating has no bearing on article content; if it did, users could influence content by withholding (or making) donation, and this would cease to be a neutral encyclopedia. Donations are handled by the Foundation, which does not involve itself in day to day operations.  If you have specific concerns about the Kamala Harris article, feel free to bring them up on the article talk page if you can source your concerns to independent reliable sources.  Wikipedia only summarizes what independent sources state.  Wikipedia is not a voter guide that provides pros and cons.

 * You may be under the mistaken belief that the donations go to the people who write the Wikipedia articles. This is not, and has never been, the case.

Creating A New Article With A Name That's Already In Use
Hi! I'm interested in creating a new wikipedia article. From what I've gathered, the way to create a new page is to search for the topic, find the red link, and go from there. The issue I have is that the name of what I want to write about is already in use by a different meaning of the same word. (I'm wanting to create a page about my artist name, Fluorescence, but there is already an entry about Fluorescence, but the kind used in geology) Every tutorial I have found doesn't go over this and I was wondering what I need to do to get around this predicament. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FluorescenceMusic (talk • contribs) 18:31, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Welcome to Wikipedia, . To answer your question: the way we separate articles that would have the same title is by disambiguation; briefly, you would probably title your article Fluorescence (artist) or something like that. However, before you do, please see our guideline on writing about yourself, and also take a look at our plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Thank you. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:35, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Mari Katayama
I was creating a draft in my sandbox about the artist Mari Katayama for WikiProject Women in Red, a page which was previously deleted due to lack of information. I think I have found enough information to start a new article or draft, but the current page at Draft:Mari Katayama contains another user's draft that seems to have been abandoned about a year ago. How should I go about adding/merging the content I wrote to the draftspace? —Preceding undated comment added 18:43, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The draft you reference hasn't been significantly edited in over two years. The sourcing is too light for it to be approved. If you think you have better sourcing that demonstrates notability per WP:NARTIST, you can recreate the draft, but be also careful to not include unsourced info or your draft will be challenged. Good luck! TimTempleton (talk)  (cont)  19:08, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Okay, however, I already created a draft in my userspace and I can't move it into draftspace because that page already exists. I don't want to add it directly into article space because I think it could still use review from other users, but I also don't just want to copy and paste into the existing draft page. Sorry for not explaining better. What should I do? Emflazie (talk) 20:21, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, . I think you can make a request at RM for your sandbox to be moved over the existing draft. I'm not sure whether this would count as a technical move or a potentially controversial one. --ColinFine (talk) 21:36, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Fwiw, userspace and drafts are pretty similar. You can nominate userspace articles for WP:AFC the same as if it was in draftspace. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 22:05, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes,, I thought of that, but doesn't the existence of a draft on the same subject give a problem in AFC? --ColinFine (talk) 22:48, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * In case no one else noticed, Draft:Mari_Katayama is a redirect to a userspace draft. Since this was redirected 11 months ago, perhaps the redirect could be deleted to make way for new drafts?  RudolfRed (talk) 02:18, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Help writing a user space essay
I take a fair number of photos for Wikipedia and from time to time I find myself having to explain the logic for images that qualify for the article page image. Rather than repeating myself on talk pages, I’m wondering if I could create a user space essay and link to it with something like WP:PAGEIMAGE. Is there an approval process for getting a WP:-style short link to go to a user space essay? - Scarpy (talk) 21:08, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , why not just make a user template? Create a subpage for yourself, write what you want, and transclude it with something like User:Scarpy/photoessay. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 )  21:28, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I suppose I could do that, I just have never seen anyone use a template in that way in a talk page discussion before so it seems unconventional and maybe confusing. - Scarpy (talk) 22:05, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , I'm assuming that the essay won't be too long, so it shouldn't be an issue. I regularly use User:Tenryuu/GOCE talk and User:Tenryuu/process on user and article talk pages to leave templated messages for people. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 )  22:22, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It's probably more common for people to substitute such templates, so you may not notice it unless there's a comment in it with the source location, or you recognize the same text being repeated. A number of help desk and Teahouse hosts use them for our common responses. E.g., I use a hotkey sequence (with WinCompose) that inserts . To address your question, I don't know if there is a process for approval of a WP: shortcut. Perhaps  can comment from his experience. —[  Alan M 1  (talk) ]— 03:02, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:SIGCOV and WP:NCORP. Even assuming this is not spam (which I don't concede), this private company has literally been on a local Fox News segment once. That's it. There's no evidence of a cult following on Facebook (193 likes) or Twitter (zero hits). Bearian (talk) 23:26, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of significant coverage, and fails GNG. JohnmgKing (talk) 07:07, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:The Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best

Untitled
This page is almost entirely a plot summary and it even goes pretty in depth describing the events of the movie. Should the Plot section be trimmed down to be a more generic summary of what happened? Also should there be more sections available than just the plot of the movie? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:16, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
