Hello!

My name is Winnie Shyam and I am the Head of Reference and the English Librarian at Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven. I moved to Canada from India in 1979, relocated to Connecticut in 1982, and have been here since then. I have three children, each born in three different countries, and four adorable grandchildren!

I have been working at the Hilton C. Library, SCSU, for 27 years and really enjoy my job although there have been many challenging times due to budget cuts. Planning and moving into a new addition, and more recently, the lovely renovated new library was one of the highlights of my job. I love working with students and seeing the thrill on their faces when they find relevant sources for their papers. I have always wanted to know more about editing Wikipedia articles and this course provides the perfect opportunity for me to learn the ins and outs of editing. Although I am not a total novice to this process as I have edited one article and have authored one, there were several hiccups along the way which left me frustrated and so I am here to hone my skills and become a more confident editor. I also look forward to learning how to find suitable articles to edit and how to upload images.

I will adhere to Wikipedia guidelines while editing or expanding articles, making every effort to display civil and appropriate behavior. I will not attempt to make edits if I am not confident how to do it. If I inadvertently make errors, I hope Wikipedia editors will feel free to correct me exercising the same sense of civility they would expect of others.

This is an account I created for a Wikipedia course that I am currently enrolled in. I have another account I created a couple of years ago as I was working on an article. The username for that account is Wshyam. I will continue to use that account and abandon this username once the course is over.

Lakshmi Devi Temple, Doddagaddavalli

The Lakshmi Devi temple  is an early 12th-century Hindu temples complex located in Doddagaddavalli village in Hassan District, Karnataka India. The main temple consists of four-shrines that share a common mandapa (hall), each sanctum being a square and aligned to a cardinal direction. The eastern shrine has Goddess Lakshmi, the northern shrine is dedicated to Kali-Durga, the western to Shiva, and the southern is empty and likely Vishnu. The complex has a separate Bhairava shrine to the northeast of the main temple, and four small shrines at the corners inside a nearly square prakara (compound). All nine temples are notable for its pyramidal north Indian style Nagara shikhara – likely an influence from Maharashtra and an evidence of active flow of ideas between the southern, central and northern India. The complex has additional smaller shrines.

Location and date
Doddagaddavalli is called Gadumballi in historic inscriptions. It is located about 20 km northwest from Hassan city, about 16 km south of Halebidu, and about 25 km southeast from Belur (NH 373). The temple is to the south side of the modern village, on the banks of a historic water reservoir. The Lakshmi Devi temple, was built in 1113 CE by a wealthy merchant Kullahana Rahuta and his wife Sahaj Devi during the reign of Vishnuvardhana.

Architecture
The temples complex is within a seven feet high prakara (compound), almost a 115 feet square. It had a dvara-mandapa to its west and a dvarasobha to its east, but these along with the original compound decoration is now missing except for the door frames and the mandapa-like structure. It is likely that the original town was near the manmade reservoir. Inside the historic prakara were four small shrines at each corner, a design called parivaralayas in Sanskrit texts. In addition, to the northeast of the main temple, there is a fifth independent shrine dedicated to Bhairava. At the center is the chatuskuta (four-shrine) main temple with a shared mandapa. Thus, the complex consists of nine shrines.

The Lakshmi Devi Temple is one of the earliest known temples built in the Hoysala style. The building material is Chloritic schist, more commonly known as soapstone.

The temple does not stand on a jagati (platform). Three of the vimanas (shrines) have a common square mantapa (hall). The fourth vimana, one at the north and dedicated to Kali, is connected to the mantapa via an oblong extension. The extension has two lateral entrances into the temple, one from east, the other west. The vimanas have their original phamsana-style tower (superstructure) intact. These illustrate the Kadamba Nagara architecture. Of the nine shrines in this complex, eight vimanas are simple phamsana and symmetric within each set. The ninth vimana that opens to the east is different – it is a tritala (three storey) superstructure and is dedicated to goddess Lakshmi, thus making her the primary deity and giving this temple its dedicatory name.

Each of the three vimanas that share a mandapa has an ardha-mantapa (vestibule) connecting it to the central larger square ranga-mantapa. On top of the vestibule of each shrine is a sukanasi (or "nose" because it looks like low extension of the main tower over the shrine). The sukanasi is a tier lower than the main phamsana tower over the shrine. All the four sukanasi are intact and so are the kalasha (decorative water pot like structure) on top of the main towers. The Hoysala emblem (the sculpture of a legendary warrior "Sala" fighting a lion) is mounted atop one of the Sukanasi. The mantapa is open and square. It and the extension to the Kali shrine has a jali (perforated stone screens) to let light into the temples. The ceiling of the main hall is supported by eighteen lathe-turned pillars. Near Kali's shrine, there is stone statue of an emaciated skeleton-like goblin (vetala), a reminder of her horrifying fierceness and power to inflict death.

According to art critic Gerard Foekema, overall the temple has shows the pre-Hoysala elements of architecture. There is only one eaves running round the temple where the main towers meet the wall of the shrine. At the base of the wall of the shrines are five moldings; between the moldings and the eaves, the usual panels of Hoysala sculptures depicting Hindu gods, goddesses and their attendants is however missing. Instead, the entire space is taken up by decorative miniature towers on pilasters (called aedicule).

The main shrine facing east has a 3 ft image of the goddess Lakshmi with an attendant on either side. The image holds Vishnu's icons – a conch in the upper right hand, a chakra (discuss) in the upper left, a rosary in the lower right and a mace in the lower left. In the shrines facing north, south and west respectively are the images of Kali (a form of Durga), the god Vishnu, and Boothanatha Linga (the universal symbol of the god Shiva). A sculpture of Tandaveswara (dancing Shiva) exists in the circular panel at the center of the ceiling of the mantapa. Other notable artwork are those of Gajalakshmi (form of Lakshmi with elephants on either side), Tandaveshwara and Yoganarasimha (avatars of Vishnu) found on the doorway of the temple. The main attraction of this beautiful temple is that it includes the worship of both Shaivism and Vaishnavism. However recently on November 20, 2020, the temple was subjected to theft and destruction.

 * Delete. Malls and shops are generally not notable. See Articles_for_deletion/Precedents. --Metropolitan90 01:17, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I feel that this precedent should be challenged, as it is a product of simple anti-mall cultural bias. Large malls are more notable than most museums documented on Wikipedia - I don't particularly love them, but malls are very notable local institutions and centers of commerce.  Simple distaste for the subject, and a view that different instances of the subject are a bit samey...does not suffice as a criterion for deletion when the subject is of clear note.  The massive size of many individual malls makes them features in the lives of millions or hundreds of thousands of people and clearly notable.  Anyone who has a similar opinion of this precedent (i.e. that it excludes notable institutions from the encyclopedia due to cultural bias), let's begin opposing it here.  Bobby P.

 * Keep. All malls should have articles here because they are the local landmarks of our times, often replacing Main Street or town squares. They have as much influence on towns as highways, schools, or stadiums. They are substantial economic enterprises and raise major issues involving land use, taxation, and globalization. Too many people love to talk, read or write about them for us to play silly games and try to exclude them. This may be hard for people to believe, but in the real world, they are far more important than the latest Virtual community, Pokemon card, or webcomic. -- JJay 11:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: see Wikipedia_talk:Notability for an attempt at discussion of notability of buildings (including malls) in general. Friday (talk) 15:20, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. Encyclopedias are reference books that deal with all fields of knowledge (the word comes from the Greek words enkyklios paideia, meaning general or well-rounded education). Since Wikipedia doesn't have very many size constraints, we can include a lot of stuff. Also, I'm not sure it's worth destroying someone else's work and alienating that person--who could be a contributor to other articles as well--over an issue as uncertain as notability. Something increadibly notable to a physicist may be non-notable to a chemist, for example.--Primetime 21:07, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Japanese/Grammar/Transitivity

Many Japanese verbs belong to pairs of transitive and intransitive verbs. In Japanese these are known as 他動詞 (other move verb) and 自動詞 (self move verb). Formally, the difference between these is that a transitive verb can take on a direct object, whereas an intransitive verb (normally) cannot. There are a few pairs of distinct verbs in English that correlate to this: "raise"/"rise", "fell"/"fall" and "lay"/"lie".

Transitive verbs can be thought of as causative, requiring an agent to perform an action. Intransitive verbs move on their own and can be thought of as just existing.

This is best explained by example. Contrast the following pairs of sentences:

The general patterns for transitive and intransitive sentences is: The topics of intransitive verbs are usually inanimate.

Some pairings are listed in the following table:

The rule of thumb is that intransitive verbs usually take nouns with the particles 「が」(ga) or 「は」(wa) that act as subjects, whereas transitive verbs take object nouns marked with 「を」(o). Transitive verbs can also take a ga-subject or wa-subject, although it may be omitted. Note that some intransitive verbs can take an o-object that indicates a location. For example, 出る ("to leave") can be used with a direct object that is a location from which the subject is to leave from. See the table below for more examples:

Turning Point!

Turning Point! is a Tyrone Davis album released in 1976. This was his final release for Dakar Records. This is the first of two albums by Tyrone Davis in 1976. Love and Touch was released after his move over to Columbia Records.

Talk:PHP/25 Essential Functions

Format
I'm proposing the following format for each function listing: == [ http:// php.net/Functionname Function name ] == type name ( type argument1, type argument2 ) [ Brief description of function ] === Usage === [ Basic usage examples ] === Practical applications === [ Use in some practical application that allows it to qualify as 'essential' ] === See also === [ Links where applicable to interesting use, references (NOT php.net ref) etc. ] I'll just go ahead and implement the listings using this format, but please tell me if you would like it done differently. --Draicone (talk) 07:44, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Minor change - now names of variables and functions are bolded and not their data types. --Draicone (talk) 08:25, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Work to do
If anyone is an experienced php dev, please add sections for the 25 functions. You can use my current two as examples. Be simple and to the point if possible, but just do what you can. I'm happy to copyedit where required. --Draicone (talk) 08:36, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Some Thoughts
Do we really need both die and exit on the list, they are exactly the same. Also, i think we should replace print_r for var_dump, and maybe include date and/or time.

Kev 23:49, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

No particular order?
"Following is the raw list of 25, in no particular order:"

No particular order? They're in alphabetical order! --Daniel15 14:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Style
Does anyone else think we should fix the style for the examples? Some of the examples use single quotes ('), others use double quotes (", whatever they're called). Some use the K&R indentation style, whereas others use the BSD style. We need to maintain some level of consistancy here :-) --Daniel15 14:27, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * You should only use double quotes for using the escape things for special characters (\n, \t etc), using single quotes is marginally (talking milliseconds here) faster anyway..... As for the indentation, eh, it's not exactly head scrathing-ly different.
 * Kev 01:18, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Don't get why ceil is in there.
couldn't you just use modulus? if($var1%$var2 == 0) { echo "$var1 is divisible by $var2"; }

High School Mathematics Extensions/Mathematical Programming

Before we begin
 * This chapter will not attempt to teach you how to program rigorously. Therefore a basic working knowledge of the C programming language is highly recommended. It is recommended that you learn as much about the C programming language as possible before learning the materials in this chapter.

 * Please read the first 7 lessons of "C Programming Tutorial" at About.com if you are unfamiliar with programming or the C programming language.

As you gain programming experience you will appreciate the more specific explanations like The C Programming Wikibook.

Introduction to programming
Programming has many uses. Some areas where programming and computer science in general are extremely important include artificial intelligence and statistics. Programming allows you to use computers flexibly and process data very quickly.

When a program is written, it is written into a textual form that a human can understand. However, a computer doesn't directly understand what a human writes. It needs to be transformed into a way that the computer can directly understand.

For example, a computer is like a person who reads and speaks German. You write and speak in English. The letter you write to the computer needs to be translated for the computer to speak. The program responsible for this work is referred to as the compiler.

You need to compile your English-like instructions, so that the computer can understand it. Once a program has been compiled, it is hard to "un-compile" it, or transform it back into English again. A programmer writes the program (to use our analogy, in English), called source code, which is a human-readable definition of the program, and then the compiler translates this into "machine code". We recommend using the widely available gcc compiler.

When we look at mathematical programming here, we will look at how we can write programs that will solve some difficult mathematical problems that would take us normally a lot of time to solve. For example, if we wanted to find an approximation to the root of the polynomial x5+x+1 - this is very difficult for a human to solve. However a computer can do this no sweat -- how?

Programming language basics
We will be using the C programming language throughout the chapter, please learn about the basics of C by reading the first 7 lessons of "C Programming Tutorial" at About.com.

Sample C Program

 * /Sample C Program/

Data Types
Size Constraints: Header files limits.h, and float.h

Computers are machines based on Boolean logic. This means that the computer is based on some method of differentiating a state as true or false, or set and not set. Abstractly we think of computers as using 1's for true or set and 0's for false or not set. We refer to these 1's and 0's as bits. In computers we don't keep track of information as bits. Instead information in a computer is stored in addressable blocks called bytes. A byte is the smallest piece of memory that can be accessed in the computer that is not a bit. When we declare a [scalar] variable in a C program that memory has an address and a length. The address says where the memory starts, and the length states how many bytes are used to express the variable.

The include file  is used to define the size of addressable integer types and the include file  is used to define the size of addressable floating point types. The values in these files are compiler and computer dependent. This means that if you change compilers or compile your program on a different type of computer it may execute differently.

Here are some of the values defined in these two files:

 Exercises

Programming With Integers
Discrete programming deals with integers and how they are manipulated using the computer.

Understanding integer division
In C, the command
 * int number;
 * number = 3 / 2;

will set aside some space in the computer memory, and we can refer to that space by the variable name number. In the computer's mind, number is an integer, nothing else. After
 * number = 3 / 2;

numbers equals 1, not 1.5, this is due to that fact that / when applied to two integers will give only the integer part of the result. For example in C:
 * 5 / 2 equals 2
 * 353 / 3 equals 117
 * -5 / 2 equals -2
 * 353 / -3 equals -117
 * -5 / - 2 equals 2

If the number you are testing is between one and negative one - for example 2 / 5 or -2 / 5 then the result is undefined, although most compilers return 0.

The modular operator, %, returns the remainder resulting from integer division. For example in C:

 * 5 % 2 equals 2
 * 353 % 3 equals 2
 * -5 % 2 equals -2
 * 353 % - 3 equals 2
 * -5 % -2 equals -1

The sign of the result takes on the sign of the dividend as you would expect. For fractions that are between one and negative one the result is the same as the numerator.

 Exercises

Exercise 1

Write down your thoughts on what a program to explore division and modulus should do.
 * What processing has to occur?
 * What types of input do you have?
 * What does your output look like?

The following example will walk you through this exercise.

C Program Example For Exercise 1

 * /Program to Explore Integer Division And Integer Modulus/

Modeling Recursively defined functions
The factorial function n! is recursively defined:
 * 0! = 1
 * n! = n×(n-1)! if n ≥ 1

In C, if fact(n) is the functions as described above we want
 * $$fact(0) = 1;$$
 * $$fact(n) = n * fact(n - 1)$$; if $$n \ge 1$$

we should note that all recursively defined functions have a terminating condition, it is the case where the function can give a direct answer to, e.g. fact(0) = 1.

We can model the factorial functions easily with the following code and then execute it:
 * int fact (int n)
 * if (n == 0)
 * return 1;
 * if (n >= 1)
 * return n * fact(n - 1);
 * }
 * }

The C function above models the factorial function very naturally. To test the results, we can compile the following code:
 * #include  /* Standard Input & Output Header file */
 * int fact (int n)
 * if (n == 0)
 * return 1;
 * if (n >= 1)
 * return n * fact(n - 1);
 * }
 * int main(void)
 * int n = 5;
 * printf("%d", fact(n)); /* printf is defined in stdio.h */
 * }
 * printf("%d", fact(n)); /* printf is defined in stdio.h */
 * }

We can also model the Fibonacci number function. Let fib(n) return the (n + 1)th Fibonacci number, the following should be clear
 * fib(0) should return 1
 * fib(1) should return 1
 * fib(n) should return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2); for n ≥ 2

we can model the above using C:
 * int fib (int n)
 * if (n == 0 || n == 1) /* if n = 0 or if n = 1 */
 * return 1;
 * if (n >= 2)
 * return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
 * }
 * }

Again, you shall see that modeling a recursive function is not hard, as it only involves translating the mathematics in C code.

Modeling non-recursive functions
There are functions that involve only integers, and they can be modelled quite nicely using functions in C. The factorial function
 * f(n) = n! = n(n - 1)(n - 2) ... 3×2×1

can be modeled quite simply using the following code

int n = 10; //get factorial for 10 int f = 1;  //start f at 1 while(n > 0) //keep looping if n bigger then 0 {   f = n * f; //f is now product of f and n    n = n - 1; //n is one less (repeat loop) }

Floating point Programming
Programs can not only be written with integer values, but also with various forms of floating-point values. You should normally use the double keyword to define a floating point number; the reason for this is that in many cases, the intuitive way to write an expression in floating point arithmetic is suboptimal. Floating point arithmetic is non-associative - in base-10, a system that has 2 places of accuracy has (1.0 + 0.02) + 0.04 = 1.0 (rounded down because 1.02 rounds to 1.0, and then 1.04 rounds down to 1.0), but 1.0 + (0.02 + 0.04) = 1.0 + 0.06 = 1.1. There also exists a float type, which uses 4 bytes instead of 8, but you should not use it unless you know what you are doing, since there is only 24 bits of accuracy, or roughly 9 base-10 significant digits.

Beware: If you use 2 integer operands, it still performs integer arithmetic, so this prints 1, not 1.5 as you'd expect:

 * double number;
 * number = 3/2;
 * printf("%f\n",number);

An example of a definition of a floating-point number and then calculating 3/2:

 * double number = 3;
 * number /= 2;
 * printf("%f\n",number);

A caveat: floating point numbers do not perfectly represent all decimal numbers. Obviously, because the memory consumed by a variable is finite, it cannot represent an infinite number, but only an approximation of it. In addition, some numbers cannot be perfectly represented in floating point. In this code:

 * double number;
 * number = 1/10;

the value of number is not 0.1, but actually 0.10000000000000001.

An analogy of this limitation is the value of 1/3. In the decimal system, this value cannot be exactly represented with a finite number of 3s, as in 0.333... Since 2 and 5 are the only prime factors of 10 (the base of the decimal system), only fractions with denominators comprising products of 2s and 5s, such as 5/8 $$\left ( \tfrac{5}{2^3} \right )$$ or 231/250 $$\left ( \tfrac{231}{2\times5^3} \right )$$ (but not 1/3 or 5/14) can be exactly represented by decimal numbers (0.625 and 0.924, respectively).

Computers use base 2 arithmetic, so only fractions with denominators comprising products of 2s (powers of 2), such as 5/8 $$\left ( \tfrac{5}{2^3} \right )$$ or 231/256 $$\left ( \tfrac{231}{2^8} \right )$$ (but not 231/250, 1/3 or 1/10, as above) can be exactly represented by a floating point number.

Lacryma Christi

or Lachryma Christi of Vesuvius is a Neapolitan type of wine produced on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius in Campania, Italy. White Lacryma Christi is made mainly from Verdeca and Coda di Volpe grapes, with smaller proportions of Falanghina, Caprettone and Greco di Tufo included. Red Lacryma Christi is made from Piedirosso and Sciascinoso grapes. It is also, as archaeologists have discovered, the nearest equivalent to wine drunk by the Ancient Romans, having analysed microscopic residue left on the taps of the casks.

Origins of name
The name Lacryma Christi comes from an old myth that Christ, crying over Lucifer's fall from heaven, cried his tears on the land and gave divine inspiration to the vines that grew there. The sides of Vesuvius are deeply scarred by past lava flows, and its lower slopes are extremely fertile, dotted with villages and covered with vineyards.

Lacryma Christi in literature and media
Lacryma Christi is an old wine, frequently mentioned by poets and writers. Lacryma Christi was mentioned in the book by Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo, in W. J. Turner's poem Talking with Soldiers, in Candide by Voltaire, and by Christopher Marlowe in his play Tamburlaine the Great, Part II. The Irish periodical writer and journalist William Maginn mentions the wine amongst other spirits in his poem "Inishowen" c. 1822. In the late work of the German novelist Theodor Fontane "Der Stechlin" (1898) the wine is mentioned to be served after lunch in a convent and is characterized to be of higher grade than a Montefiascone. Hart Crane wrote a poem titled "Lachrymae Christi" included in his 1926 debut collection White Buildings. The Dutch novelist Harry Mulisch mentions the wine together with the island of Capri in his 1987 novel The Pupil. In the short story "Rappaccini's Daughter" collected in Mosses from an Old Manse by Nathaniel Hawthorne, a glass of lachryma is drunk by the protagonist "which caused his brain to swim with strange fantasies".

In the 1954 movie, Three Coins in the Fountain, Lacryma Christi is mentioned as being the favorite wine of Prince Dino di Cessi, played by actor Louis Jourdan.

In The Great Warrior Skanderbeg, a Soviet-Albanian production of 1953, the wine is mentioned as a symbol of feudal luxury enjoyed by sybaritic enemies of the protagonist, the popular and prudent ruler of Albania who defeated Venice in the 1447-48 war and stalled the advance of the Ottoman Empire. When Skanderbeg's nephew, Hamza Kastrioti, joins the Ottomans against his country, a Venetian diplomat tells him that "gifts from Venice have arrived in Durrës for you: golden cups for your table, and the best wine of Venice, Lacryma Christi -- The Tears of Christ."

In the title story of Ray Bradbury's 1964 collection The Machineries of Joy, an Irish priest squabbles with his Italian colleague over space travel and its place in their faith; the two clerics reconcile over a bottle of Lacryma Christi while watching a televised rocket launch from Cape Canaveral.

In Jacques Rivette’s 1976 film Duelle, the drink order “Lacryma Christi” is used as a password to gain entry to a casino above a bar, first by the Sun Goddess, Viva, and then by Lucie, the hotel night porter and amateur private detective tailing her.

Jean-Paul Didierlaurent mentions the wine in his novel The reader on the 6.27 (2014): "... getting drunk on Christ's tears was the best thing that could happen to a Christian."

National Indian Association

 * Should not be confused with the Indian National Association

The National Indian Association was formed in Bristol by Mary Carpenter. The London branch was formed the following year. After the death of Mary Carpenter, Elizabeth Adelaide Manning (E. A. Manning) became secretary and the organisation moved to London where its activities became synonymous with Manning.

History
The National Indian Association in Aid of Social Progress in India was formed by Mary Carpenter in 1870 in Bristol. Its first objective was to improve education for Indian women. Carpenter had visited India in 1866 and she had written about her six months there. She was particularly concerned by the lack of female teachers to educate Hindu girls. The London branch of the association was formed the following year by Charlotte Manning and her step daughter Elizabeth Adelaide Manning. Cities in both the UK and India had local branches of the society.

From 1874 to her death in 1878 Princess Alice was President of the association, she was also the first to subscribe to the Indian Girls' Scholarship Fund, a fund set up by the Association to grant annual scholarships for Indian girls in government inspected schools.

In 1881 the society spawned an offshoot named the Northbrook Indian Society (NIA) after the Earl of Northbrook, ex-viceroy of India, who was the new society's Honorary President. The Northbrook society had been conceived two years before and in 1880 the new society was running a reading room stocked with both English and Indian newspapers. This society grew to also supply lodgings for visiting Indian students. In 1882 the NIA launched Medical Women for India which was an initiative to train female doctors so that they could work on assisting women in India. The NIA also took an interest in students from India who were studying in Britain. E. A. Manning created a book of guidance called Handbook of information relating to university and professional studies etc. for Indian students in the United Kingdom. Manning's help was not just theoretical, in 1888 Cornelia Sorabji wrote to the National Indian Association from India for assistance in completing her education. This was championed by Mary Hobhouse, and Manning contributed funds together with Florence Nightingale, Sir William Wedderburn and others. Sorabji arrived in England in 1889 and stayed with Manning and Hobhouse. Sorabji became the first woman to complete a law degree at Oxford and kept in contact with the NIA during her later career.

In 1904 E. A. Manning was awarded the Kaisar-i-Hind Medal by the King for services to the British Raj. She died the following year and Emma Josephine Beck was appointed as the new secretary. Beck was at an NIA event in 1909 where William Hutt Curzon Wyllie was assassinated by Madan Lal Dhingra.

In 1910 the society was at 21 Cromwell Street in South Kensington where it shared premises with the Northbrook Society and the Bureau for Information for Indian Students.

The association went into a decline in the 1920s but it did not formally end operations until 1966. The organisation had merged with the East India Association after India left the British Empire and it eventually became part of the Royal Society for India, Pakistan and Ceylon.

Talk:David Campbell Bannerman

Henry Campbell-Bannerman?
I assume he's a descendant of the former Prime Minister Henry Campbell-Bannerman? Should this not be clarified? CulturalSnow (talk) 06:26, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

I was just thinking the same LeapUK (talk) 06:40, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Mention of the alleged kinship was removed from the article in 2013 as unsourced. He certainly isn't a descendant: Sir Henry and Lady Campbell-Bannerman had no children. Opera hat (talk) 05:36, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * There is some (negative and perhaps in other respects defamatory) description and commentary at, essentially suggesting that while Henry was born with the surname Campbell later adding Bannerman (his mother's maiden name) to inherit from an uncle, David was born with the surname Bannerman with given names David Campbell, possibly making the relationship (if any) one of cousins through the Bannermans.--Rumping (talk) 13:43, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It does seem improbable, as Henry Campbell-Bannerman began life as Campbell and his brother was James Alexander Campbell. A descendant of J. A. Campbell's son might perhaps have added "Bannerman", but for some reason DCB does not give his parents' names in Who's Who, which is unusual. I have edited the article to say he claims to be related, which it seems he does. Moonraker (talk) 00:44, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Polyvinyl ester

Polyvinyl esters are a group of thermoplastic vinyl polymers. The most important examples of this group are polyvinyl acetate (PVAC) and polyvinyl propionate.

Production
The radical polymerization of vinyl ester 1 (e.g. in case of vinyl acetate; R = CH3) yields polyvinyl ester 2:

Use
The transparent polymers are used for the production of lacquers and as adhesives. The hydrolytic cleavage of the ester bonds of vinyl acetate is of industrial significance.

Cyril Fountain

Sir Cyril Stanley Smith Fountain (born 26 October 1929) is a Bahamian judge and lawyer.

Early life and education
Fountain got his early education at the Quarry Mission School, the Western Junior and Senior Schools, Johnson's Private School, and then the Government High School, which he completed in 1947.

Following his graduation he had a brief athletic career as an opening batsman for the Western Sporting Club. He was also coached in swimming by Orville Turnquest, and under his tutelage went on to win the Prince George Dock–Fort Montagu marathon.

He went on to work at the Bahamas Telecommunications Department and other places before leaving the Bahamas to attend St. Benedict's College in Kansas (one of the predecessors of today's Benedictine College).

After his graduation in 1953, he returned to the Bahamas and eventually became a teacher, working in various places including the Abaco Islands and West End.

Fountain's legal education began with a fortuitous incident: he was talking with his friend Kendal Isaacs, the Solicitor-General of the Bahamas, when Isaacs asked him whether he was interested in becoming a lawyer. Isaacs referred Fountain to Leonard Knowles, by then already a noted attorney. After working with Knowles for a year, Fountain went on to read law at King's College London in 1959.

Legal career
Fountain was called to the English Bar in January 1963, and the Bahamas Bar the following month. He worked in private practice for the next decade, but then entered into politics.

He ran as the Free National Movement candidate for the Northern Long Island, Rum Cay, and San Salvador constituency in the 1972 general election, and was elected a Member of the Parliament of the Bahamas. He was briefly appointed as leader of the opposition in 1976. He served until 1977.

He was named as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the Bahamas from October 1993 to June 1994, as a Senior Justice from July 1994 to December 1995, and as the Chief Justice from January 1995 to October 1996.

After stepping down as Chief Justice, Fountain moved to Grand Bahama and returned to private practice.

Talk:Euhelopus

Analysis placing Euhelopus outside Neosauropoda
I'm working on Klamelisaurus right now. The Bayesian analysis of Moore et al. places Euhelopus along with Klamelisaurus and the Mamenchisaurus and Omeisaurus complexes in a clade (Euhelopodidae) outside of Neosauropoda. I'm not sure what other workers think of this, but I think it shows that a macronarian position for Euhelopus is far from a done deal. Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 02:47, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
 * All of Moore et al.'s analyses find Euhelopus to form a clade with mamenchisaurids, not just the Bayesian analysis, and the paper overall seems to justify that position fairly well. I definitely think it would be prudent to edit this article to be more agnostic on the phylogenetic position of Euhelopus for the time being; presenting it unambiguously as a titanosauriform seems inappropriate now.

Talk:蜼

Definition
Needs definition. This character is part of the name of an ancient bell called "weixun" or "weishun." <IP_ADDRESS> 21:47, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I created a definition, but I can find no reference to "weixun" or "weishun" which refers to an ancient bell. The only compound that I have come across is 蜼彝 (lěiyí - a bronze vessel in the shape of a reptile which was used for ancient rituals).  -- A-cai 20:42, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

RFV discussion: July 2016–November 2017
Rfv-sense

 * 1) Pronounced wěi? (archaic) a type of reptile (similar to a lizard)
 * 2) Pronounced wèi? (archaic) long-tailed monkey (similar to a macaque but larger). --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 13:13, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

 * The monkey sense should be cited (with help from Hanyu Da Zidian and Hanyu Da Cidian). The reptile sense seems to be only found in . — justin(r)leung { (t...) 07:32, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

 * New finding: outside of Jiyun, the reptile sense is found in 駢雅, 詩名物疏, 詩傳名物集覽 and 陸氏詩疏廣要, in the compound 號蜼. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 04:08, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Another finding: Hanyu Da Zidian may have made a mistake. I checked Jiyun and couldn't find the reptile sense under 蜼; however, I did find the same definition in 𧐌. do you think Hanyu Da Zidian made a mistake? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 04:34, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Sorry that I can't answer you whether "reptile" sense is locatable in Jiyun, because I'm not good at reading 韻書. Yes, it is possible for a project as big and complex as Hanyu Da Zidian to make mistakes; I've actually found several potential ones. Dokurrat (talk) 09:36, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

 * RFV passed for “long-tailed monkey (similar to a macaque but larger)” and RFV failed for “a type of reptile (similar to a lizard)”. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 21:51, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
