Help talk:Resources by completion status

Line breaks
This needs debugging so there are no line breaks. --Remi 00:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * ✅. --McCormack 09:15, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

On the origin of the word "complete"
I never thought the word "complete" was going to be such a big deal. But here's the history. On 4th May 2008, User:Robert Elliott asked me for a list of "completed courses" (his phrase), and as there wasn't one, and as it was obviously a good question, I started Help:Project boxes. As part of this project, I picked up on something started by User:Remi0o (now User:Remi) in February 2007, where User:Remi used the word "complete" over and over again. He had probably borrowed the term from other wiki projects, such as Wikibooks. Unfortunately I simply perpetuated the use of the word, never thinking it would be such a big deal. As I've already said, on reflection I agree with User:Cormaggio that "ready" is perhaps more politically correct, and I also like the word "ready" myself. However, I have no truck with political correctness and I don't really want to spend all my time thinking up new template variations to cater for every possible concept of resource development cycles. Nevertheless, in the course of time, I will try my best to improve names and wording, and think up useful alternatives. --McCormack 15:35, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I have a problem with your use of the term "politically correct" - even though you've explained it on IRC. My aim, in problematising the word "complete", is to raise questions about the wiki way, and how this impacts on categorising of resources - as well as on how the categorising of resources might be definable within particular paradigms. Perhaps the 'wiki way' is similar to the way you mean politically correct. But anyway, I absolutely agree that we should work on a suite of alternatives here - so that people can use one (or a combination) that suits the resource. And again, I would want to push that process to leave itself open to discussion - so that someone saying that something is ready is itself contestable by someone else who thinks it's not. This is absolutely not about political correctness (as I understand it) - it's about defining how Wikiversity works, and making transparent the thinking that is implied in whatever model is chosen by the particular person/group involved in a given resource. Cormaggio talk 10:21, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Suite of alternatives
This is to list a range of alternative ways of tagging resources, and to define the thinking that is implied in each tag. Please edit, and augment. This list could/should be eventually moved to a better space.

I added Stub so that useless pages are clear to viewers. Robert Elliott 14:31, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Development processes

(Replying to Darklama, who posted his comment as an image and caption.) Our attention here should be on the development processes of educational content, or more specifically, wiki-hosted educational content, not wiki content. Every Wikimedia project has a different "object" of which its content consists (e.g. article, book, news item, dictionary entry). Each of these objects has its own development cycle. Wikiversity is unlike the other projects in that it has many types of resources (e.g. lesson plan, reading list, reading group, course, research project, essay, debate, quiz and loads more), and each of these resource types has its own development cycle. --McCormack 12:58, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Every wiki project shares a common basic process for developing content regardless of whatever type of work is being created. The work can be as small as  dictionary entry, as large as all of human knowledge, can be entertaining, or can be educational. Every work involves either someone requesting its creation or creating it themselves, people reading and using the work, and people developing and revising the work, and people organizing and publishing the work so people can read and use it. The only difference is in how people do so. As in how someone goes about creating the work, how someone requests a work be created, how someone goes about reading or using the work, and how someone goes about organizing and publishing the work so people can make use of it.
 * I think every work falls somewhere within this develop process or cycle, even Wikiversity with its different types of work. The implementation may be different but the basic fundamentals of the process is the same. Describing how learning resources or quizzes should be made, may be different, but people still either have to request or make it themselves, develop it, revise it when its needed, and do all the other things in the process. --dark[[Image:Yin yang.svg|12px]]lama 13:43, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Where?
In lists it's fairly obvious where to put the boxes. But where do they go on a project page? The Jade Knight 10:40, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Utility
I think it's fair to say that many projects are never "completed", but I think the entire purpose of completion boxes is to tell newcomers which projects need work and which projects are most useful as learning resources. Generally, I see the following useful categories for this (stages [in brackets] may be considered optional): Additionally, it would be useful to be an "Abandoned" template for marking projects where significant work has not occured in say, 6 months.
 * 1) Empty (contains no significant content)
 * 2) Stub (little content)
 * 3) [Forming (little content, but active discussion about developing content is occuring)]
 * 4) Developing (some significant, useful content; still needs significant additions or work)
 * 5) [Under Revision (for a project with lots of significant, useful content which contains problems preventing it from being "quality" (such as poor organization, significant usage errors, significant factual errors, etc.))]
 * 6) Quality (a project which contains lots of significant, useful content, and, while additions may be added, does not need additions. A quality project is ready to be used by a learner who has come to learn about that topic)

The idea is to show users what projects would need their help, and what projects they can go to expecting to find learning resources "ready for use", etc.

I could also see breaking "Developing" into two sections which might give an indictator as to how much useful content is there, but definitions and lines might be problematic there. The Jade Knight (d'viser) 00:25, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Departments could similarly be rated. The Jade Knight (d'viser) 00:36, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I think the general idea of the existing completion status boxes is to generate a wide array of options, so that they can be applied as needed to different projects. Whilst that may seem unwieldly (to have so many options), it also seems to be realistic since I'm doubtful that we could create a universal set of completion status steps to be broadly applied - Wikiversity is just too varied. So, I think you should feel free to flesh out your proposed scheme and develop a set of related project boxes. Personally, I mostly use the 0%done, 25%done, 50%done, 75%done and 100%done and sometimes miscellaneous boxes like experimental and permanently incomplete. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 04:03, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree with James that it's going to be difficult to be universal here - and the help page itself does say that this process is largely "arbitrary". But I do like both "Quality" and "Under revision" as categories that indicate (and drive) a quality control process. Would you see "quality" as not quite yet "featured", or supplementing it? Cormaggio talk 08:27, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * "Quality", in my mind, would be a more broad category than "featured", but would be similar in nature. The Jade Knight (d'viser) 11:56, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I think the categorizations could be simplified some: --darklama 23:28, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Use something like for "empty" pages and pages with "little content". Maybe built on that some more by including links to resources that might inspire people to participate.
 * Active Community for resources that have an active community that is developing and/or discussing the resource.
 * Under Review for resources which are currently being scrutinized to improve qualify, grammar, spelling, usefulness, etc. Could also just be used to alert people to important discussions taking place on the discussion page that someone feels needs people's attention.
 * A quality, useful, featured type categorization which means that the community feels that this resource is in good enough shape to learn and teach from.
 * One of the things I'm thinking about in particular, Darklama, is how to show people who come to resources quickly and clearly what kind of content they'll find there. In addition, part of the goal is to be able to mark resources in this way before a newcomer even reaches them; completion status pictures would do this to an extent.

HESA Ababil

The HESA Ababil is an Iranian family of single-engine multirole tactical unmanned aerial vehicles manufactured by Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company (HESA). The Ababil comes in four main lines, the Ababil-2 ,3, 4 and 5, of which the Ababil-2 has a number of variants. It is considered a long-range, low-technology drone.

The Ababil program was begun during the Iran–Iraq War. The Ababil-2, developed in the 1990s, has rudimentary surveillance capabilities and can be used as a loitering munition, but is mainly used as a target drone. The larger and more capable Ababil-3, introduced in the 2000s, was designed for Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance use and has improved surveillance capabilities. We have little information about Ababil-4 but it was seen in the 2022 Army Day for the first time. Ababil-5 is the most recent member of this family. It has a greater range and carries more ammunition. Overall, the Ababil has been described "a pretty rough-and-ready system" because of its "cheap, simple, and ease of use."

The Ababil-2 and Ababil-3 have been widely exported to governments and paramilitaries in the Middle East and elsewhere. The Ababil has been used in the 2006 Lebanon War, the Iraq War, and the Sudanese, Syrian, Iraqi, and Yemeni civil wars. Ababil-4 and Ababil-5 (Both unveiled in 2022) are only seen in Iranian service.

Development
The early history of the Ababil is unclear. Jane's reports that the Ababil program was begun at Qods Aviation Industries in 1986 and the first delivery was in 1993. Iranian military expert Galen Wright writes that the program began at Iran Electronics Industries in the mid-1980s and began mass production in 1986, with possible use in the Iran–Iraq War.

Variants
The Ababil is built in a number of poorly documented variants.

Ababil-1
The Ababil-1 was an obscure loitering munition built in the 1980s. Its specifications are not known, there are no known photographs, and it is unknown if it was ever used in combat. It is believed to be out of service.

One source writes that the Ababil-1 was essentially a prototype or preproduction version of the Ababil-2. It is described as a suicide drone with 40 kg of explosives.

Ababil-2
The Ababil-2 has an improved flight-control system. Jane's reports that the Ababil-2 had its first flight in 1997 while Galen Wright writes that it entered production in 1992. Both sources agree the Ababil-2 was publicly revealed in 1999. Some sources also designate the Ababil-2 as the Ababil-II.

The Ababil-2 has a cylindrical fuselage, a sweptback vertical fin, and a pusher engine. It is powered by a simple two-bladed pusher propeller with a rear-mounted wing and a front canard for good stall, stability and maneuverability characteristics. All variants have a range of over 100 km and all variants have all-metal construction, except for the Ababil-T, which is composite (fiberglass).

The Ababil-2 can be launched from a zero-length JATO platform or a Mercedes Benz 911 pneumatic truck launcher. The rocket launch system can be used from a ship deck and can be assembled or broken down for portability. For recovery, a parachute provides a descent rate of 4 m/s, or skids can be used for conventional landings on a runway or field. Some airframes have also been seen with landing gear.

Target drone
The most common Ababil-2 variant is a target drone variant used for training air-defense crews. The name of Ababil variants is unclear, but Jane's reports that this variant is called the Ababil-B. The Ababil-B's mission payloads are acoustic miss-distance-indicators, Infrared devices, and radar reflectors. This variant is the oldest Ababil-2 variant and it apparently entered service in 2001.

Surveillance
The name of the Ababil-2 surveillance variant is similarly unclear, but Jane's reports that this is called the Ababil-S. Some sources may also designate this the Ababil-R. Galen Wright assesses it as having "only rudimentary" surveillance capabilities in contrast to other intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance UAVs.

Twin-tail variant
The Ababil-2 also exists in a twin-tail variant, which some (but not all) sources name the Ababil-T. This variant can be fitted with surveillance, target drone, or disposable strike munition payloads. It is probably coterminous with the "Mirsad-1" UAV operated by Hezbollah and may have been renamed "Qasef-1" in Houthi service.

Ababil-CH
The Ababil-CH has two rear tails, like the Ababil-T, but is used as a target drone like the Ababil-B. It is slightly larger than the Ababil-T.

Qasef-1
The Qasef-1 and Qasef-2K loitering munition versions are based on the Ababil-2 airframe and has a 30-kg warhead. It has been solely operated by Yemeni Houthis, who have mostly used it to attack the radar components of MIM-104 Patriot surface-to-air missiles. The Qasef-1 has been in use since late 2016 and some examples have been intercepted in transit to Yemen. It is possibly a renamed or modified Ababil-T with an installed explosive charge or a warhead.

The Houthis claim that they manufacture Qasef-1s themselves, but this claim has been disputed and there is widespread suspicion that it is Iranian-built.

Ababil-3
The Ababil-3 is a complete redesign of the Ababil with an improved airframe used solely for surveillance: it carries better equipment and can stay aloft for longer. Some sources also designate the Ababil-3 as the Ababil-III. The Ababil-3 is thought to be based on the South African Denel Dynamics Seeker, and possibly the Seeker-2D model in particular. It is more widely exported than the Ababil-2, and is known to have entered production by 2008, with specific parts manufactured by 2006.

The Ababil-3 has a cylindrical body, with wings mounted on top while at the end of the body is an H-shaped twin boom. The wing design is a rectangle which after half its lengths tapers toward the wing tips. The Ababil-3's wingspan is about 7 meters, compared to 3 meters for the Ababil-2. It uses an engine from German company Limbach Flugmotoren. Other sources suggest the Ababil-3 is powered by Chinese or Iranian clones of the L550. Other particular parts inside the Ababil-3 were sourced from Irish defense contractors.

Analysis of an Ababil-3 downed over ISIS-held territory in Iraq, apparently due to mechanical failure, finds that the Ababil-3 is built out of composite materials. The powerplant had plain-surfaced cylinder heads; it was unclear if the engine was manufactured in Iran or China. Overall, the manufacture was "very economical" and the Ababil-3 was designed for low cost. There were also a number of defects in the downed Ababil-3 model, which could suggest poor manufacture or handling in the field.

Ababil-3s are based at an airstrip outside of Minab, a town near Bandar Abbas. Ababil-3s are also known to be based at Bandar Abbas International Airport. The Ababil-3 is comparable with the RQ-2.

The Ababil-3's max airspeed is 200 km/h, its range is 100 km (roundtrip), and it has a service ceiling of 5,000 m. It has an endurance of 4 hours. An estimated 217 Ababil-3s have been built as of July 2019.

In 2014 Iran announced that they had developed night vision capabilities for the Ababil-3. Previous Ababil variants were most effective in daytime. As of 2020, Iran has armed versions of the Ababil-3 drone.

Ababil-3s have been extensively used in the Syrian Civil War. The heterogeneity of Syrian Armed Forces forces makes it difficult to determine who operates or controls their use. An Ababil-3 crashed or was brought down in Pakistani territory in July 2019.

Ababil-4
By 2022, Iran was using Ababil-4 in military exercises and military parades but released little information about it. This drone has longer range and duration than Ababil-3 and is used in reconnaissance and surveillance or combat roles.

Ababil-5
Ababil-5 was first unveiled on April 18, 2022 during the Iran Army Day. It has a Rotax-914 engine (similar to Mohajer-6) with 115 horsepower and has a range of 480 km. It can carry four guided anti-tank missiles (Almas series) with a range of 8 kilometers or six precision-guided bombs (Qaem series) weighing 2.4 kilograms with a range of 6 kilometers. The drone is used in reconnaissance and surveillance or combat roles.

Lebanon
Hezbollah acquired Ababil-2 drones (twin-tail variant) in 2002, and operated them under the Mirsad-1 designation. Israel has said that Hezbollah received at least 12 Ababils before the 2006 Lebanon War. Three Ababils were launched during the conflict.

The first Ababil was shot down by an Israeli F-16 on 7 August 2006 off the coast of Northern Israel. The second Ababil crashed inside Lebanon on 13 August. The third Ababil deployed by Hezbollah was shot down by another F-16 hours later just inside Israel's northern border. Hezbollah was assessed as having several Ababil UAVs in 2009, although other estimates have ranged from 12 to 24–30. By 2018, Hezbollah stated that the Mirsad-1 had been retired from service.

Hezbollah has also built a large airstrip in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. There is speculation that the airstrip could support larger, runway-launched Ababil-3 UAVs. Hezbollah is not definitively known to operate the Ababil-3.

Sudan
The Ababil-3 is in service with Sudan. In 2008, an Ababil-3 crashed or was shot down while on a surveillance mission.

On March 13, 2012, another Sudanese Ababil was lost in action near Toroji, South Kordofan. Sudanese rebels of the SPLA-N said they downed it using ground fire, while the Sudanese government said it was due to mechanical failure.

Iraq
On 16 March 2009, an American F-16 operating in Iraq shot down an Iranian Ababil 3 drone on 25 February 2009 that had been flying through Iraqi airspace for "almost an hour and 10 minutes." The drone crashed about 60 miles northeast of Baghdad, 12 miles inside Iraqi territory near the town of Balad Ruz in Diyala Governorate. Officials at Iraq's Defence and Interior ministries suggested that the drone might have been scouting for routes to smuggle Iranian weapons into the country. The New York Times, however, speculated that the drone was monitoring Iranian dissidents in Iraq, such as those at Camp Ashraf, which is located near where the drone crashed. Abdul Aziz Mohammed Jassim, head of military operations at the Iraqi defence ministry stated that since the drone, "crossed 10 km into Iraq, it's most likely that its entrance was a mistake."

More recently, Ababil-3 UAVs have been used extensively in the Iraqi Civil War. Their use began in summer 2014, shortly after the Fall of Mosul, from Rasheed Air Base.

Iran
Iran is the primary operator of Ababil UAVs. Iran operates large numbers of Ababil-2 UAVs, mostly for training air defense crews, and operates Ababil-3 UAVs for surveillance use.

Syria
Ababil-3 UAVs have been used in the Syrian Civil War since 2012. They have been used by Syrian Army and are some of the most commonly used UAVs in the war. They are especially commonly seen over Damascus.

Gaza
On 14 December 2014, Hamas militants flew an unmanned air vehicle over a parade in the Gaza Strip marking the 27th anniversary of the organization's establishment. Israeli sources identified the aircraft as an Iranian-made Ababil. Also used in the 2021 conflict.

Yemen
Houthi rebels have operated Ababil-T loitering munitions under the name "Qasef-1" to target Saudi and Emirati radar batteries. According to the Houthis, a new variant of the drone named "Qasef-2K" has been designed to explode from a height of 20 meters in the air and rain shrapnel down on its target and has been used to kill 6 people in the coalition controlled Al Anad Air Base in Yemen. Najran, 840 km southwest of Riyadh on the Saudi-Yemen border also has been receiving Houthi drone attacks.

After the Houthi attack on Saudi oil infrastructure on 14 September 2019, Saudi Arabia tasked F-15 fighter jets armed with missiles to intercept low flying drones, difficult to intercept with ground based high altitude missile systems like the MIM-104 Patriot with several drones being downed since then. On 7 March 2021, during a Houthi attack at several Saudi oil installations, Saudi F-15s shot down several attacking drones shot down using heatseeking AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles, with video evidence showing at least two Samad-3 UAVs and one Qasef-2K downed. On 30 March 2021, a video made by Saudi border guards showed a Saudi F-15 shooting down a Houthi Quasef-2K drone with an AIM-120 AMRAAM fired at short range.

FAQ - Detail
How do I display PCD centrelines for radial pattern holes? In detail mode - Advanced, Setup, Modify Val. Find the entry RADIAL_PATTERN_AXIS_CIRCLE and set the value to YES File, Exit and repaint the screen to see changes. Note: This only works for pattern of holes defined using the radial type holes, where the dimension type is set to diameter when created not radius.

How do I change the size of datum points? In detail mode - Advanced, Setup, Modify Val. Find the entry DATUM_POINT_SIZE and set the value (value is in inches) e.g. 3 is 3 inches not 3 mm File, Exit and repaint the screen to see changes.

How do I change the shape of datum points? In detail mode - Advanced, Setup, Modify Val. Find the entry DATUM_POINT_SIZE and set the value to one of the following CROSS, DOT, CIRCLE, TRIANGLE, or SQUARE. File, Exit and repaint the screen to see changes.

How do you blank items on layers in assemblies/parts in the drawing? Assuming the assemblies use default layers or the features to blank are on layers. Create a layer in the drawing with exactly the same name. When it is blanked it will effectively blank all features on the chosen layers in all components in the assembly.

How do include symbols in notes? Create the note as normal at the location where the note is required type &sym(name) where name is the name of the symbol. You will need retrieve the symbol so it is part of the drawing before this will work.

How do I create a PLUS-PLUS tolerance? Use Modify, Value pick the negative tolerance and add a minus sign in front of the value e.g 0.2 becomes -0.2 hit enter and Pro/Engineer will now show a plus-plus tolerance. This is because Pro/Engineer stores the integer as a positive value and applies a negative value to it, making the tolerance value negative creates a positive (two negatives = a positive).

What are the curly brackets that appear when editing notes? A typical note will appear as below when editing

{0: First line of note}

{1: Second line of note}

The brackets and number control the text formatting. If you delete the number or the colon then the text line will return to default text formatting values.

Don Wishart

Don Wishart was a Canadian ice hockey defenseman and forward who captained Colorado College to the National Championship in 1957.

Career
Wishart's junior career was rife with success as he helped the Flin Flon Bombers win three consecutive league championships. After he aged out of the Canadian junior league, Wishart joined Colorado College on an athletic scholarship and immediately joined the varsity ice hockey team. That year the Tigers jumped from 4th to 1st in the WIHL and, with Wishart playing both forward and defense for CC, they made the NCAA tournament for the first time in three years. The Tigers escaped with a close victory over St. Lawrence in the semifinal but, despite scoring in the championship match, Wishart couldn't help the team outlast Michigan in a rematch of the 1952 championship.

The team regressed a bit in Wishart's second season, partly from graduations and also due to the resignation of head coach Cheddy Thompson. New bench boss Tom Bedecki still got the team to a 3rd-place finish but that wasn't enough to get them back to the NCAA tournament. Wishart was named captain for the 1956–57 season and with a massive influx of offensive talent the team went on a rampage in college hockey. Wishart led the defensive corps and helped the offense that produced 199 goals in just 30 games. CC was again WIHL champions and received the top western seed. The team had to fight through a stellar effort from Eddie MacDonald in the semifinal but the 60 shots they set at the Clarkson cage were enough in the end. For the third time in six seasons CC faced Michigan in the final and this time the Tigers would finally defeat their conference rivals. The two teams remained close for the first two periods but the Tigers scored 6 consecutive goals in the third period to put the game out of reach. In his final game, Wishart scored the final Tiger goal and broke the record for the most goals scored in a championship game (Michigan would add one more to increase the total to 19).

Wishart was named to the All-Tournament First Team and was also an AHCA First Team All-American for the season.

Centenary Place

Centenary Place is a heritage-listed park at 85 Wickham Street, Fortitude Valley, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is also known by some as Centenary Park even though this is not the name it was given at the ceremonial dedication. It was designed by Henry Moore. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 6 August 2007.

History
Centenary Place was designed and constructed for the purpose of commemorating the centenary of European settlement in Queensland (1824-1924). The council began clearing of the land of existing buildings in 1924 and the park was formed in 1925. It covers an area of 8,748 square metres and is bounded by Wickham Street, Ann Street and Gotha Street, Fortitude Valley. The park was one of the last civic projects undertaken by the former Brisbane City Council prior to the formation of the Greater Brisbane Council in 1925. The park has been in continual use by the public since its creation and was extensively refurbished in 1999/2000.

Celebrating the centenary of European settlement in Queensland was an important milestone in the state's history, and presented an opportunity to demonstrate how far it had progressed in 100 years. From its beginnings as a penal colony, followed by the arrival of free settlers, separation from New South Wales, Federation and the First World War, Queensland had experienced many tumultuous events in its first 100 years worthy of commemoration and celebration. The creation of Centenary Place provided the public with a tangible means of doing this.

To advance the centenary celebrations, a Centenary Celebrations Committee was formed as was a Centenary Fund. Many fundraising events were held by the Centenary Celebrations Committee and all proceeds from these events were devoted to the Centenary Fund to go towards the provision of centenary memorials, including Centenary Place. Other commemorative memorials and events included the minting of commemorative medals, a statue of John Oxley, the founding of the John Oxley Library which included the purchase of some 6000 books and numerous tree planting ceremonies across Brisbane.

The Catholic Church took great interest in the development of Centenary Place, sensing an opportunity to promote their vision of a new cathedral and envisaging the site as the forecourt for the proposed Holy Name Cathedral, a massive "Renaissance basilica" that was to occupy the block bounded by Gotha, Ann, Gipps and Wickham Streets. Although the park was designed by Henry Moore, the Parks Superintendent for Council, given the layout, which is still intact, includes a central path originally designed to lead to the proposed cathedral entrance, it is possible that Archbishop James Duhig and the cathedral architect, Jack Hennessy, junior contributed to the design.

Other features were added to the park at later dates with the drawings for the podium, archway and tramways office dated 1928. Centenary Place was designed by Moore who was also responsible for designing New Farm Park and Newstead Park. He employed a formal design with defined layouts, planted garden beds, grassed areas, low sandstone retaining walls and curved paths. The garden includes mature specimens of poinciana (Delonix regia), Canary Island date palms (Phoenix canariensis), Queen palms (Syagrus romanzoffiana), wine palms (Butia capitata) and fig trees including, weeping figs (Ficus benjamina) and white figs (Ficus virens). In 1947 Harry Oakman, the Council Parks & Gardens Director, planned additional garden beds along the walks in the fig and poinciana avenues. These proposals were largely in place by 1950.

The original design of the park specifically allocated space to accommodate a statue of Thomas Joseph Byrnes, a former Premier of Queensland. Byrnes was both the first Queensland-born premier and first Roman Catholic premier. The statue, by renowned sculptor, Sir Bertram Mackennal, is believed to be one of Brisbane's earliest and was originally erected at Petrie Bight, at the junction of Wickham and Boundary Streets in 1902. It was originally commissioned from sculptor Achille Simonetti, but he died without completing it. When the park was completed in 1925, the statue was moved from Petrie Bight to its new location. Another statue of Byrnes (the T J Byrnes Monument) was erected at Warwick.

A statue of the Scottish bard, Robert Burns, was proposed for Brisbane as early as 1888 when the President of the Burns Club, Alderman William McNaughton Galloway, contacted the President of the Queensland Scottish Association, Sir Thomas McIlwraith, to suggest their organisations combined forces and funds to commission the statue. However, the Scottish community had to wait many years before seeing their dream realised as it was not until 1929 that a statue of Robert Burns was commissioned by the Brisbane Caledonian Society and Burns Club and installed on a pedestal provided by the council. Traditionally, statues of Robert Burns are placed so that the poet's back is turned on the church. The statue of Burns in the park has been positioned in accordance to this tradition and had the Holy Name Cathedral been built, the poet's back would have been turned on it. The statue of Burns has served as a focal point for gatherings and events, such as the Burns Night, for the Scottish community of Brisbane since its installation in the park.

From 1962 to the mid 1970s, Centenary Place was Brisbane's designated people's forum or speaker's corner. Sunday afternoons became a regular event in Brisbane with hundreds of people turning up to hear speakers holding forth on all manner of issues including speakers campaigning for Aboriginal rights in the 1960s and 1970s. After the people's forum ceased at Centenary Place, the people of Brisbane had to wait until 1990 before a new location was officially made available by the Brisbane City Council at King George Square.

Over the years the park has undergone numerous changes. In 1938, a tram waiting shelter was built onto the Wickham Street side of the archway podium and tramways office. The park also featured two air raid shelters, one each on the Ann and Wickham Street frontages. Similar shelters (e.g. Albert Park (North) air raid shelter) were constructed at many inner city sites in the early 1940s as part of Queensland's wartime defences. In 1961, the Council prepared plans to convert the Wickham Street air raid shelter into a toilet block. These were evidently demolished by the time the Council planned the construction of a new toilet block in 1973. This entailed the demolition of the remaining air raid shelter on Ann Street. In 1977 the park was extended towards Wickham Street at the entry podium area and the edge trimmed around Gotha Street. The park underwent extensive refurbishment in 1999-2000 carried out by Belt Collins Landscape Architects which restored the original formality of the park.

Description
Centenary Place is a teardrop-shaped park bounded by Ann, Wickham and Gotha Streets. The park falls gently from the corner of Ann and Gotha Streets and is bisected along its length by a processional path, starting with a ceremonial archway at the narrow southern end of the park. This path is the formal spine of the park, reinforced by avenues of trees with a series of monuments providing focal points along its length. At the park's centre is the statue of Thomas Joseph Byrnes, former Premier of Queensland. The statue occupies a large paved area formed by the convergence of the central path. Curved paths leading to the centre of the park from Ann and Wickham Streets are mirrored on either side of it.

Between Byrnes and the archway, the central path passes through a shaded avenue of mature fig trees and a monument to the Scottish poet Robert Burns. At the northern or Gotha Street end of the park, the central path accommodates a 1999 sundial sculpture commemorating the 75th anniversary of Centenary Place.

Grassed areas are delineated by formal paths, mulched garden beds, hedges and several regular lines of trees. These significant mature trees include poincianas (Delonix regia), weeping figs (Ficus benjamina), white figs (Ficus virens), Canary Island date palms (Phoenix canariensis), Queen palms (Syagrus romanzoffiana) and wine palms (Butia capitata). The overall visual effect is a well developed formal tropical landscape character.

Sandstone park signage walls have been erected on each of the Wickham and Ann Street frontages.

At the city or southern end of the park, a formal stone podium, incorporating stone steps and the arched gateway, leads into the central path. The gateway is formed by opposing Brisbane Tuff piers surmounted by a wrought iron archway.

The ironwork incorporates the lettering "Centenary Place" and supports for the spherical glass lanterns on each side. The podium forms the roof of what was variously a tramways cash office and lost property office, and is now an automated traffic signal control centre. Access to this basement area is provided by two steep, narrow concrete stairs bounded by Brisbane Tuff retaining walls. The stairs on the western or Wickham Street side are protected by a simple, compressed fibre cement canopy erected in 2000. The Brisbane Tuff loggia on the western side of the podium was erected as a tramway shelter in 1938.

The bronze figure of Robert Burns stands on a tapered dressed sandstone pedestal with a rusticated granite base and thistle- patterned cornice. Three faces of the plinth feature bronze bas- reliefs. The fourth face features the statue's inscription in applied bronze letters.

The Byrnes statue is also bronze and supported on a sandstone pedestal. When Centenary Place was constructed in 1924, the statue was moved to its present position in the park. The pedestal features an elaborate base and cornice. A carved sandstone wreath decorates the north and south faces of the pedestal. The west face features a worn inscription of Byrnes' name and dates of birth and death. Mounted on the base of the statue is a small plaque bearing a brief description of Byrnes and the statue. This plaque incorrectly credits the sculptor of the statue as being "Sir Bertram Macenell". The statue was actually sculpted by renowned artist, "Sir Bertram Mackennal" and is noted as being Mackennal's fiftieth sculpture.

The strength of the central path as an axial feature has been diminished by the loss of its relationship with the stone remnants of the Holy Name Cathedral site. Thus the northern end of the central path lacks the strong foci provided elsewhere by the archway and the two statues.

Heritage listing
Centenary Place was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 6 August 2007 having satisfied the following criteria.

The place is important in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of Queensland's history.

Centenary Place, established in 1925, is important as Brisbane City Council's principal contribution to the celebration of the 1924 centenary of European settlement in Queensland and Queensland's growth and development during this time from a penal colony to a state. It is also important as the site of a public forum or speaker's corner during the 1960s and 1970s when political activism was increasing and public speaking spaces were used to promote public awareness of both national and local issues. The increasing importance of open spaces in urban areas is also demonstrated through the changing land use of Centenary Place from urban development to parkland.

The place demonstrates rare, uncommon or endangered aspects of Queensland's cultural heritage.

Centenary Place has an uncommon structure built from Brisbane Tuff which displays both ceremonial and utilitarian functions by combining the formal commemorative steps and archway with a tramway office and passenger shelter.

The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a particular class of cultural places.

Centenary Place has strong association with the works of horticulturalist and landscape gardener Henry Moore, who was the first Brisbane City Parks Superintendent (1912–1925). His design work in Brisbane includes New Farm Park and Newstead Park. It is also associated with Harry Oakman, Parks Superintendent for the Brisbane City Council (1948–1963), who was the first purpose-trained landscape architect to be employed by a government in Queensland.

The place is important because of its aesthetic significance.

Centenary Place is aesthetically important for its formal stone stepped arched gateway with opposing piers with a wrought iron archway which leads into the processional pathway that extends through the park. The avenues of mature specimens of poinciana (Delonix regia), Canary Island date palms (Phoenix canariensis), Queen palms (Syagrus romanzoffiana), wine palms (Butia capitata) and fig trees including weeping figs (Ficus benjamina) and white figs (Ficus virens), provide a pleasant vista amongst its busy, commercial surrounds and make an important contribution to the landscape.

The place has a strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group for social, cultural or spiritual reasons.

Centenary Place has a strong association with the Catholic community as evidenced by its selection as the forecourt for the proposed Holy Name Cathedral and placement of the statue of a prominent Catholic, former Queensland premier Thomas Joseph Byrnes. It also has strong association with the Scottish community as evidenced by their selection of the park to house the statue commissioned of Scottish bard Robert Burns and by their use of the park to hold events such as the Burns Night.

I edit everything from maglev trains, to jets, to Drake University's wikipedia entry, to international relations materials.

I keep up to the date on news, and have recently been trying to figure out who wiped out a third of the MLS page before I saved it from sloppy (or malicious) editing. Even more suspicious was the fact that the sections erased were profitability and stadiums, an area the MLS does not often discuss (especially league finances!).

AI in Drug Discovery

Insilico Medicine have developed a deep generative model, generative tensorial reinforcement learning (GENTRL), for de novo small-molecule design. GENTRL optimizes synthetic feasibility, novelty, and biological activity. We used GENTRL to discover potent inhibitors of discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1), a kinase target implicated in fibrosis and other diseases, in 21 days. Four compounds were active in biochemical assays, and two were validated in cell-based assays. One lead candidate was tested and demonstrated favorable pharmacokinetics in mice.

List of Major League Baseball career games played as a second baseman leaders

Games played (most often abbreviated as G or GP) is a statistic used in team sports to indicate the total number of games in which a player has participated (in any capacity); the statistic is generally applied irrespective of whatever portion of the game is contested. In baseball, the statistic applies also to players who, prior to a game, are included on a starting lineup card or are announced as ex ante substitutes, whether or not they play; however, in Major League Baseball, the application of this statistic does not extend to consecutive games played streaks. A starting pitcher, then, may be credited with a game played even if he is not credited with a game started or an inning pitched. In baseball and softball, the second baseman is a fielding position in the infield, commonly stationed between second and first base. The second baseman often possesses quick hands and feet, needs the ability to get rid of the ball quickly, and must be able to make the pivot on a double play. In addition, second basemen are almost always right-handed. Only four left-handed throwing players have appeared as second basemen in the major leagues since 1950; one of the four, Gonzalo Márquez, was listed as the second baseman in the starting lineup for two games in 1973, batting in the first inning, but was replaced before his team took the field on defense, and none of the other three players lasted even a complete inning at the position. In the numbering system used to record defensive plays, the second baseman is assigned the number 4.

The second baseman is frequently the smallest player on the team, and the ability of such smaller players to absorb the impact of play has contributed to many long careers at the position throughout major league history; three-quarters of the second basemen elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame have been under 6' tall. Eddie Collins, the first major league player to appear in 2,500 games at a single position, is the all-time leader with 2,650 career games as a second baseman. Joe Morgan (2,527), Roberto Alomar (2,320), Lou Whitaker (2,308), Nellie Fox (2,295), Charlie Gehringer (2,206), Robinson Canó (2,165), Willie Randolph (2,152), Frank White (2,151), Bid McPhee (2,129), Bill Mazeroski (2,094), Nap Lajoie (2,035), and Jeff Kent (2,034) are the only other second baseman to play over 2,000 games at the position.

Bill Knott (politician)

William Edwin Knott (16 February 1921 – 19 April 2013) was an Australian politician, elected as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly.

He was born in Sydney, New South Wales and educated at St Mary's College, Sydney and Christian Brothers College, Strathfield and Ultimo Technical College. He was apprenticed to the New South Wales Government Railways as an electrician. He worked for five years as an interstate transport contractor.

In October 1949 he married Marie and they had three children, Judith, Michael and Peter. Peter Knott would go on to become a Labor member of the federal House of Representatives from 1993 to 1996.

He was a member of Electrical Trades Union of Australia for 42 years. He was an alderman of Condobolin Shire (now part of Lachlan Shire) and on the board of the Mid-Lachlan County Council from 1952 to 1961.

Cookbook:Caviar

| Seafood

Caviar refers to the processed, often salted roe from the sturgeon family of fish. Some vendors may label roe from other fish as caviar—however, this is technically incorrect.

Production
The production of caviar starts with the removal and grading of egg sacs from female sturgeon. The sacs are sieved to separate out the eggs, which are then washed and seasoned with salt (about 4–6%) before packaging. Some manufacturers will pasteurize the caviar to extend its shelf life.

Particularly ripe or damaged eggs are typically used to make pressed caviar, a spreadable caviar paste with less oil and a stronger flavor.

Characteristics
Caviar is categorized according to both sturgeon species and egg quality. Beluga caviar are the largest variety, with a grey color. The next-largest are osetra, which have a more golden-to-brown color, and sevruga are the smallest, with a darker green or grey color. Hackleback is a mild variety from the United States. In terms of quality, the more expensive grade 1/A is the the best, with well-shaped whole eggs and excellent flavor. Grade 2/B is less aesthetically pleasing, with some broken or otherwise imperfect eggs, and it should be cheaper as a result. Caviar with relatively low salt content is called "malassol".

In terms of flavor, caviar is salty and reminiscent of the ocean without actually being fishy, much like fresh shellfish. Some describe it as nutty. The exact nuances of the flavor will depend both on the species of the sturgeon and the environment it is raised in.

Selection and storage
The best way to assess caviar quality is by smell and taste. You want the flavor to be clean with a fresh aroma. The eggs should be whole, with a shiny moist appearance, and burst between your teeth when you bite down. Fresh caviar should be stored at or just below 32°F (0°C), since the salt will prevent it from freezing at this temperature —keeping it on ice in the refrigerator for 1–2 weeks is a good approach. Pasteurized caviar is shelf-stable until opening, after which is should be treated the same way as fresh. In general, you should purchase caviar in small quantities and consume as soon as possible.

Use
Caviar is commercially marketed throughout the world as a delicacy and is eaten principally in very small amounts as a garnish or spread. Simple crackers or blini are common accompaniments, though some will eat caviar on its own. Generally, nonmetal utensils and dishes are used in order to avoid giving an off taste to the caviar.

Willy van Ryckeghem

Willy van Ryckeghem (Ghent, 1935) is a Belgian economist and statistician who devoted much of his career to Latin America. He studied economics in Ghent, Copenhagen and Paris and taught Business cycles at Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Econometrics at Ghent University from 1968 to 1982. He was also visiting Associate Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1963-64 and Visiting Professor at the Universiti Sains Malaysia in Penang in 1976.

His first experience in Latin America was in Argentina at the Consejo Nacional de Desarrollo (Conade) in 1964-65 where he worked under the auspices of the Harvard Development Advisory Service (DAS). He teamed with British economist Geoffrey Maynard to develop a stabilization model which was applied by the following administration during the period 1967-1970. After initial success in reducing the inflation rate from 22 to 7 percent without causing a major recession, the stabilization effort broke down in 1970 after a shortage of meat caused a new inflationary shock.

His next assignment was under the auspices of the so-called Berkeley-Group in Brazil at the newly created IPEA, where he constructed the country`s first input-output table for 1959. In addition, he formulated an exact method for determining the technology matrix in a situation with secondary products.

In 1972-73, he joined the University of Michigan team of economic advisors to the Planning Ministry of Morocco. This resulted in the publication of the collective book Employment Problems and Policies in Developing Countries-The Case of Morocco of which he was the editor at the Rotterdam University Press in 1976.

In 1974, he became President of the prestigious Belgian Statistical Society. The same year, he published in the International Statistical Review an original method for estimating measurement errors in national account statistics. He was invited as keynote speaker at the Commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the death of Adolphe Quetelet.

In 1976, he published together with Geoffrey Maynard A World of Inflation. In this book, they distanced themselves from the dominant monetarist thinking, and drew attention to structural factors in explaining differences in inflation rates between countries.

In 1982, he joined the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington DC where he led the Country Studies Division for seven years before becoming Deputy Manager of the Department of Economic and Social Development. In 1985 he presented a major study at the Latin American Studies Association (LASA) meeting at Albuquerque on the Impact of the Latin American debt crisis on the countries in the region.

After his retirement in 1997, he was instrumental in the foundation in 2001 of the Brazilian non-profit organization Pro-teste, which became the largest consumer organization in Latin America. Between 1975 and 1978, he was the third President of Consumers International, following Colston Warne of Consumers Union and Peter Goldman of Which?. He was awarded the Order of Social Merit because of his work with the Belgian consumer movement.

He now lives in Madeira, doing research on the history of the island. He is also advisor to the philanthropic Matanel Foundation in Luxemburg.

Standard and Backward Swimming

The bluegill sunfish relies heavily on the flexibility of its fins to maintain maneuverability in response to fluid forces. The bluegill’s segmentation in its fins allows flexibility that mitigates the effects of fluid forces on the fish’s movement. The bluegill has a variety of unusual adaptations that allow it to navigate different environments. In conditions where the bluegill is deprived of its various sensory abilities, it utilizes its pectoral fins in navigation. If the bluegill’s visual input or lateral line input were to be compromised, its pectoral fins are then able to be utilized as mechanosensors through the bending of the fin(s) when the fish comes into contact with its environment. In standard swimming the bluegill sunfish relies on its caudal (tail) fin, dorsal fin, and anal fin. The bluegill’s caudal fin muscles are important in the fish' slow swimming and also important in the beginning stages of the fish increasing its swimming speed. The dorsal and anal fins are two types of median fins that work in parallel with each other to balance torque during steady swimming.

When swimming backwards, the bluegill utilizes a plethora of fin muscles located in various parts of its body. Backward swimming in the bluegill is more complex than steady swimming, as it is not just the reversal of forward swimming. The fish utilizes its pectoral fins to provide a rhythmic beat while the dorsal and anal fins produce momentum to drive the fish backwards. The pectoral fins’ rhythmic beat is asymmetric and aids the fish’s balance in its slow, backward movement.

C-Start Escape Response

The bluegill, amongst a wide array of other fishes, exhibits the C-start escape response, which is generated by large neurons called Mauthner cells. Mauthner cells operate as a command center for the escape response and respond quickly once the neural pathway has been activated by an initial stimulus. The cells trigger a contraction of muscle that bends the fish body into a ‘C’ to then aid in the propulsion away from a predator. The C-start trajectory is highly variable, allowing the fish to alter its escape response each time. Because of this high variability, predators have a lower chance of learning a successful predation technique to capture the fish. The C-start escape response produces other evolutionary advantages, including the ability to use the quick, unpredictable nature of propulsion to capture prey.

Hydrodynamically, the bluegill exhibits specific flow patterns that accompany its C-start escape response. The caudal (tail) fin is a main source of momentum in typical kinematic models of the C-start escape response but the bluegill draws a majority of its momentum from the body bending associated with the response, as well as its dorsal and anal fins. The dorsal and anal fins’ roles as propulsors during escape response suggest that the size of the fins could lead to an evolutionary advantage when escaping predators.

Perl Programming/Humour

Obfuscated code
Some people claim Perl stands for 'Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister' due to the high use of meaningful punctuation characters in the language syntax.

In common with C programming language, obfuscated code competitions are an interesting feature of the Perl culture. Similar to obfuscated code but with a different purpose, Perl Poetry is the practice of writing poems that can actually be compiled by perl. This practice is fairly unique to Perl, due to the large number of regular English words used in the language. New poems can regularly be seen in the Perl Poetry section of perlmonks.org.

Just another Perl Hacker
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write a one-liner perl script which displays the phrase "Just another Perl hacker," (including the comma, and capitalization as shown). If successful, you win the right to use it as an email signature identifying yourself as a Perl hacker. Entries will be judged on how smart-ass the code is. Around 100 of the first JAPHs and some funky obfu Perl can be seen on CPAN.

Acme
There's always a place in Perl for odd modules, and one such place is the Acme:: namespace. If you have a module which knows how long a piece of string is, or one which converts your perl script into an image of Che Guevara, post it here.

Golf
Perl is a very compact language. So compact, that some have even create a game around perl's terseness called perlgolf. In perlgolf, you are given a problem to solve. You must solve it in the fewest number of characters possible. A scorecard is kept, and after 18 "holes", a winner is announced.

Marebito (film)

Marebito (稀人) Unique One is a 2004 Japanese horror film directed by Takashi Shimizu.

Plot
Freelance cameraman Takuyoshi Masuoka (Shinya Tsukamoto) carries a camera everywhere he goes. He becomes obsessed with the idea of fear after seeing a frightened man shove a knife into his eye to commit suicide. Wishing to understand the fear that the man must have felt before his death, Masuoka descends into a labyrinthine underground area beneath the city, where he sees humanoid creatures that walk on their hands and knees and whimper like dogs. While searching the tunnels and passages, Masuoka encounters a homeless inhabitant who warns him about the "Deros". He then meets the ghost of Kuroki, the man who killed himself, and learns more about the underworld. After hours of searching, Masuoka discovers a mountain range with a village built by the underground dwellers. He finds a naked girl (Tomomi Miyashita) chained to a wall. He takes her back to his apartment and notices she doesn't eat, drink, or speak.

The girl, whom Masuoka dubs 'F', appears to be something other than human, and Masuoka becomes obsessed with understanding her. He sets up cameras that enable him to observe her from his cell phone when he leaves the apartment, and checks on her regularly. On a trip to the shopping mall, Masuoka sees F speaking to someone off camera, and a menacing man in black appears behind him. When he returns to the apartment, a woman in a yellow jacket is hiding in the stairway outside his door. Inside, Masuoka finds F in convulsions and unsuccessfully attempts to feed her. He discovers that twelve seconds of camera footage is missing, and receives a mysterious phone call from a payphone warning him that he is in serious trouble.

After being beaten with his camera by a stranger whom he filmed, Masuoka cuts his finger on the broken lens and returns home. He discovers that F survives on blood when she licks his finger, and cuts himself to feed her further. Masuoka begins to care for her by providing animal carcasses, deciding to treat F more as a pet than a human. The woman in yellow confronts him in the street, saying the girl is her daughter Fuyumi and asking where she is. Masuoka denies having a daughter and runs away, returning to the apartment to find it has been broken into and F has vanished. He wanders the streets searching for F and encounters the man in black, who expresses his disappointment in Masuoka's handling of her, speaking to him telepathically in the same voice as in the phone call. When Masuoka gets back to the apartment, he finds that F has returned and sees her hands are bloody.

When Masuoka leaves his apartment, the woman in yellow follows and demands that he speak to her. He walks to an alley without speaking, and turns his camera on. The woman says she wants to see her girl, at which point Masuoka stabs her to death. Later, he murders a young girl whom he met under the pretense of filming pornography. He drains their blood into bottles and feeds it to F. Masuoka calls the payphone and speaks to the stranger, who agrees that Masuoka is taking better care of F now. While filming for a news crew at the scene of the second murder, Masuoka sees a woman he filmed in her apartment previously. He takes F out of the apartment, and leaves her in a karaoke room to travel on his own for a period. Sitting on a dock, Masuoka discusses his interest in fear with Kuroki.

Masuoka becomes homeless and sleeps in the park where he killed the young girl. He briefly admits to himself that he murdered his wife and a stranger and treated his daughter like an animal, before seeing a pair of Deros and finding a cell phone that leads him back to his apartment to find F. His wife's ghost appears behind Masuoka in the elevator, and he enters the apartment to find F weak on the floor. F speaks to him for the first time, and he cuts his tongue out to feed her. At the end of the film, F leads Masuoka back down into the underworld, and films him as it appears he has finally discovered the same fear that initially intrigued him.

Critical analysis
At different points in the film, different explanations are given for what is happening to Masuoka. Early conversations in the film seem to suggest that the tunnels and F herself may be a physical manifestation of human ideas. The film repeatedly references dangerous creatures called the Dero who live underground, named after the "detrimental robots" in Richard Sharpe Shaver's A Warning to Future Man. At a later point in the film, it is suggested that Masuoka is insane and delusional, perhaps because he has stopped taking Prozac, and that his delusions have led him to kill innocent people and treat his daughter like an animal. The end of the film offers no concrete explanation.

In their book Lurker in the Lobby: A Guide to the Cinema of H. P. Lovecraft, Andrew Migliore and John Strysik write: "Marebito is a very good film that wears its influences proudly, without suffocating in their embrace. It's neither an adaptation nor an homage, but it swells with inspiration from Lovecraft's work. It's unconventional, free from cliché, and redolent with sinister insinuations that never become clear. You know them only by their shadows."

Production
The film was made on digital video between the shooting of Ju-on: The Grudge and The Grudge.

Introduction to Philosophy/Liberalism

The basic liberal-libertarian debate is between John Rawls (the famous advocate of Liberalism) and Robert Nozick (pertaining to Libertarianism). Rawls argues that what should motivate an optimal political society is placing ourselves from the point of view outside that society. In other words, in order to find out what kind of government would be the best, one must ask what one would desire if one did not know what role he/she was going to play in that particular society (Rawls calls this the Veil of Ignorance). From behind this Veil of Ignorance, one should not have any knowledge of any of the particular aspects of the social institutions or distributions in the state. Rawls thinks that given this objective disposition, one would come up with a government whose principles were such that all people in the society would have equal opportunities for everything (and inequalities would be allowed, but only if they maintained to benefit the worst off).

In contrast, Nozick argues against Rawls that, when pertaining to Distributive Justice, one must not take an ahistorical, patterned view of distribution, but rather look at the situation historically. That is, a distribution is just if it satisfies the principles of justice in attainment and of justice in transfer. For Nozick, one can acquire (own) something in two ways: either that thing was previously unowned, and the person acquired it while leaving enough and as good of it left for others, or that thing was transfered to him/her by an act of legitimately freely informed consent on the part of the previous owner. He allows also for some principles of retribution if an act is unjust, and allows here for there to be some orientations of patterned redistribution. However, at base, Nozick's point is that when trying to decide whether an ownership is just, we must decide whether the individual acquired it legitimately, not whether it brings about the greatest overall happiness (read: Utilitarianism) or benefits the worst off.

Thomas Nagel would give a third opinion to try and reconcile these claims by pointing out that the problem in this debate and subsequently in all of political theory is the delicate balancing and often asymmetry between concerns of personal politics (the individual's concerns) and collective politics (the concerns for others). This is a bit of an echoing of Rousseau's theory of the General Will, where he tries to account for individuals acting in one way to support their private, personal desires, and in another way to act according to concerns of the whole. John Stuart Mill also deals with this dichotomy by claiming that societies need to promote the greatest overall happiness for the greatest number of people (his principle of Utilitarianism) while still maintaining that it (the Government) enables the possibility for its citizens to individually pursue the betterment of their own lives.
