The Leylines

The Leylines are a folk rock band formed in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset in 2013. The band's violin and guitar driven sound has seen them headline multiple tours across the UK, as well as performing at world renowned festivals, such as Glastonbury Festival, Farmer Phil's Festival, Boomtown Fair and Bearded Theory. To date, The Leylines have released two full studio albums and one EP. In 2019 the band achieved a career highlight of playing to thousands of fans on the Big Top stage at Beautiful Days.

Early Years: 2013-14
"'The name of the band means energy...it means electricity, and when we go into a venue...we feel that energy' - Steve Mitchell"The Leylines were formed in 2013 when founding members Steve Mitchell, formerly of British rock band Evanfly, along with Matthew Wilkins, of the band The Moderations, went to record a series of demos for a new festival band they wanted to form, of which the band The Levellers were a strong influence. They recorded a few tracks at Sawmills Studios with Tony Hobden & Weston College. Upon listening through the tracks the duo decided to enlist Hannah McLeod (née Johns), a local session violinist, into the band. With the trio formed, they also recruited bassist Peter Fealey and drummer James Dyer.

The band's first full band show was in October 2013, supporting 3 Daft Monkeys at Gloucester Guild Hall. On 20 December 2013 the band released the Let It Go E.P., featuring four songs, including the eponymous track Let It Go produced by Tony Hobden in Weston-super-Mare.

Following the release of their first E.P. the band began playing music festivals, such as Watchet Festival, Lakefest, Sat In A Field Festival and Something Else In The Dean Festival, where they built a grassroots fanbase. The band also supported Skinny Lister on their Five Cities Tour in October 2014.

In late 2014, James Dyer made the decision to leave the band to head to university. Following a relatively short period without a drummer, the band announced the recruitment of Bristol-based Dave Burbidge on 9 December 2014.

First Album & Tours: 2015-16
In 2015 the band released their first single, Sat In A Field to raise money for four charities; Myeloma UK, The Nikita Jade Fund, Somewhere House Somerset and the Children's Hospice South West. The same year the band played Lakefest Festival, and one review commented:"'The Leylines never fail to impress and once again their driving take on bawdy folk rock left the audience baying for more, having paid witness to an invigorating set by a band built for the biggest of festival stages.'"The band headed to Brighton, UK to record Along The Old Straight Track in February 2016 (see below).

The Leylines' first full UK headlining tour began in February 2017, it was called the "Along The Old Straight Track Tour". The tour included 19 dates across the UK.

Line-Up Changes & Second Album: 2017-20
During the summer of 2017, the band made their first appearance at Glastonbury Festival, playing four shows at The Bread & Roses bar, Bimble Inn and Toad Hall stages. That same summer, the band made the decision to change up their sound with the inclusion of an electric guitarist, and they chose to recruit their occasional sound engineer, Dan Thompson. Around the same time, bassist Peter Fealey decided to leave the band to focus on his family. Sean Booth was drafted in to replace Peter Fealey and made his debut with the band, a trial by fire, at their first appearance at Beautiful Days Festival 2017 at the Bimble Inn stage.

In March 2018, the band embarked on a pilgrimage to Cornwall, UK to record their second album, Recover Reveal (see below).

Summer 2019 was one of the biggest festival seasons yet for the band, with slots at Glastonbury Festival on the Avalon Cafe Stage and The Big Top at Beautiful Days Festival being amongst the multitude of festivals & events they played.

As part of the Fly Away Tour in Spring 2020, the band were due to travel to The Netherlands, and support the Levellers on their 2020 tour but had to postpone their tour due to the Covid-19 pandemic. They would go on to support the Levellers on their "Levelling The Land 30th Anniversary Tour 2021" in Margate, Guildford and Norwich.

On Saturday 19 September 2020, the band played their only full band live-stream at White Noise Studio in Weston-super-Mare. Subsequently they went on to release a CD of the audio from the live-stream entitled "The Leylines Live From White Noise Studio".

Along the Old Straight Track (2016)
Recorded at Metway Studios, Brighton, UK in February 2016, Along the Old Straight Track is the band's debut studio album.

It was produced by Sean Lakeman and mixed & mastered by Al Scott.

The album received praise from Louder Than War:"'If you buy just one album this year there are eleven excellent reasons as to why it should be The Leylines Along The Old Straight Track.  Quite simply you should buy this album.' In fact the album was reviewed positively by multiple sources"The album title is derived from the book, "The Old Straight Track" by Alfred Watkins, in which the book explores the use of Ley lines across the UK.

Recover Reveal (2019)
Recorded at Cube Studio, Truro, Cornwall, UK over two weeks in March 2018, Recover Reveal is the band's second studio album. It was produced by Al Scott, who also mixed & mastered the album.

During the two weeks, the band lived together in a house in Tregullow, Redruth, close to the recording studio.

The album was released on 1 March 2019 and was well received, with airplay on BBC Cambridgeshire (The Folk Show), BBC Gloucestershire (Johnny Coppin) and BBC Shropshire (Genevieve Tudor's Sunday Folk). Reviews for the album were also very positive "'Long-time favourites on the festival scene, The Leylines bring a raucous energy to everything they do. Their sophomore effort is a great representation of their blistering, bighearted folk performed with reckless abandon.' - The Musician Magazine"

Teaching Assistant in France Survival Guide/Preparation

After you've received your letter of acceptance and decided once and for all to ignore the objections of your friends and family, it's time to prepare for your year abroad.

Travel dates
Before you buy tickets, you will need to decide if you want to travel around Europe before your assistantship. Although you may be anxious to tour the continent, there are a few reasons you may want to wait:
 * Your baggage for the full year is more than you will want to lug around Europe.
 * You will be living off your savings until the end of October when you receive your first salary payment.
 * You'll want to travel again during the two-week long toussaint vacation at the end of October.
 * You will need to have your arrêté de nomination and get your visa at your home (US) consulate before leaving.

If you aren't travelling beforehand, you should schedule your arrival for a few days before your contract begins. You should plan on returning from France at least a few days after the end of your contract to make sure you receive your last paycheck.

Airplane tickets
If you are not coming home for winter vacation, it may be cheapest to buy a single round trip ticket for earlier than you expect to return and then just change it once your return date is available on the airline website (depending on the airline, 9-11 months in advance.) Another possibility is to buy two roundtrip tickets and to not use the return on either of them (one-way tickets are almost always more expensive). It's difficult and expensive to find a plane ticket with a return longer than nine months, and “open return” tickets are even worse. In most cases you will be better off buying the cheapest ticket you can find for your arrival window. Having a return date that you may use to “bail out” after a month or two is not a bad idea either. StudentUniverse.com and BT-Store.com both offer cheap options for one-way tickets (just over half the cost of a round trip ticket). Better yet, buy a flexible ticket from statravel.com if it's not too much more expensive. You can't always book tickets more than six months in advance (and almost never more than 11 months), so you'll have to buy an early return ticket. But after a few months you'll be able to reschedule for April, May, or June for only the change fee ($50-$300 plus the difference between the original return flight cost and the cost of your new return flight. Keep in mind that the cost difference can be substantial, sometimes around $200 extra.)

Remember that there are several large airports in France. You can fly into Paris, Lyon, Nice, Toulouse, Bordeaux, and a few others. It's often not much more expensive to fly all the way to your region. Check train schedules and prices before you buy your plane tickets. If your academie is located near airports in another country, consider flying there instead. Flights to Brussels or Frankfurt, for example, are sometimes less expensive than flights directly into Paris.

Also, look into Prem's fares out of Paris. These are cheap train tickets that can be purchased from two weeks to two months in advance. It might be cheaper for you to fly into Paris and take a train. A Prem's fare from Paris to Toulouse or Nice can be as low as 25€.

Packing
It is hard to pack for a year in a foreign country. A rule of thumb is to lay out everything you think you need, and then get rid of half of it. Avoid bringing heavy things. Avoid bringing too much clothing. Remember that you're bound to buy quite a bit while you're in Europe. France has big, government-regulated sales two times a year (les soldes), in mid-January and early July, and are usually four to six weeks long.

If you have a digital camera, bring it. If you don't have one, and you can afford it, buy one (try Overstock). Film is expensive in France, and you'll want to take a lot of pictures of your travels and your friends. Also, MP3 players pack much better than your CD collection. Bring your mobile phone if it is GSM 900/1800 (not 1900) and will work in Europe, but leave its power adapter unless it is international (230V, you can easily buy an adapter in France for most phones). To use your GSM phone with a local subscription make sure it is not SIM-locked or network/operator locked. Don't use your US subscription, the roaming surcharge will cost you an arm and a leg, and the rest of your body. Get, for example, a prepaid local SIM card/subscription.

Be careful with WLAN equipment. France does not allow the usage of all WLAN channels in all locations or with the full transmission power or at all. The US FCC approval means nothing in France. And, at least in 2002, outdoor usage of WLAN equipment required a special license not to be issued to private persons. Make triple sure your equipment is legal in France, because some of the WLAN frequencies are used by the French military, and you might get in real serious trouble.

Here is a list of things that are more expensive or harder to find in France:

 * 1) Dental floss
 * 2) Sunscreen
 * 3) Peanut butter
 * 4) Electronic equipment
 * 5) Underwear
 * 6) Contact lens solution
 * 7) Over-the-counter medication (especially antacid)
 * 8) Blu-tack (and it's not blue here, it's yellow - le tac patafix!)

Not only is underwear expensive, but so is laundry. The more socks and underwear you have, the less often you'll have to go to the laundromat.

Bring as little as possible, because without a doubt you will bringing back much more. There is no reason to bring a heavy journal or a photo album with you. Think practically. Once you think you've packed, try walking around the block with everything. If it's too much to handle, you're bringing too much. You might be alone on a train or a bus somewhere in France. You'll be tired and hungry and it might be hot.

Do not bring your leather jacket. It rains most of the winter.

Teaching materials to bring (use your own judgment):
 * 1) Maps (one of your country is helpful), pictures, info about your hometown
 * 2) Photos of you and your family
 * 3) Restaurant menus, recipes, brochures, travel stuff about your country
 * 4) Magazines (ie Teen People, teen magazines)
 * 5) Popular music, especially with easy to understand lyrics
 * 6) High school yearbook (or copies of some pages)

You will be able to get plenty of information and lesson plan ideas over the internet, so don't overdo it, but it's always helpful to have props to use, no matter what you're teaching.

Making contact
Over the course of the summer you will likely receive further correspondence from your académie, some of it possibly from the establishment or school system where you'll be working. If someone is taking care of your lodging, this will likely be indicated.

In late August or September, someone from your school system may contact you by email to help arrange your arrival. If you don't hear from anyone, start trying to make contact yourself in September. The correspondence that you received earlier likely contains some email addresses; as much as they love paperwork and paper mail, everyone in the school administration has email. Making arrival arrangements by international post is expensive, slow, and unnecessary.

Be persistent! It's reasonable for you to expect some communication before you arrive in the country and to know whether or not you will immediately have somewhere to sleep. If emailing doesn't work, call the school and explain that you are the language assistant. And if writing emails and making phone calls in French intimidates you, remember that the alternative is walking out of a train station in France without knowing exactly where to go.

Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/September 27, 2019

I would suggest that the Cascade Range is not well known enough, at least outside the US, to serve as the primary identifier of location. It seems odd, to say the least, to reach the third sentence before finding what will be helpful information for locating it to most people. Kevin McE (talk) 17:01, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "US" is in the first sentence.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:09, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * It is, although not directly as an indicator of location. It is usual in any geographical article to pin that down straight away, as the article does.  Kevin McE (talk) 18:26, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

"Indigenous populations": do you mean humans? I have changed it to that in the article: indigenous populations could refer to local species of any kind. Kevin McE (talk) 17:08, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Is Native Americans technically correct? I don't want to create another issue.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:12, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * What need is there to say anything other than humans? If we were talking about a geographical feature in Europe or Africa would we feel a need to spell out that they were from that region?  Their race does not matter, and will be obvious, one would hope, to anyone able to extract the information that we are talking about north America 10,000 years ago. Let's see if anyone objects to my edit in the article. Kevin McE (talk) 18:26, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching

Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) is used to create a fault tolerant topology by configuring a primary and secondary path for each VLAN.

Invented by Extreme Networks and submitted to IETF as RFC3619. The idea is to provide highly available Ethernet switched rings (commonly used in Metro Ethernet) to replace legacy TDM based transport protection fiber rings. Other implementations include Ethernet Protection Switching Ring (EPSR) by Allied Telesis which enhanced EAPS to provide full protected transport of IP Triple Play services (voice, video and internet traffic) for xDSL/FTTx deployments. EAPS/EPSR is the most widely deployed Ethernet protection switching solution deployed with major multi-vendor inter-operability support. The EAPS/EPSR are the basis of the ITU G.8032 Ethernet Protection recommendation.

Operation
A ring is formed by configuring a Domain. Each domain has a single "master node" and many "transit nodes". Each node will have a primary port and a secondary port, both known to be able to send control traffic to the master node. Under normal operation, the secondary port on the master is blocked for all protected vlans.

When there is a link down situation, the devices that detect the failure send a control message to the master, and the master will then unblock the secondary port and instruct the transits to flush their forwarding databases. The next packets sent by the network can then be flooded and learned out of the (now enabled) secondary port without any network disruption.

Fail-over times are demonstrably in the region of 50ms.

The same switch can belong to multiple domains and thus multiple rings. However, these act as independent entities and can be controlled individually.

EAPS v2
EAPSv2 is configured and enabled to avoid the potential of super-loops in environments where multiple EAPS domains share a common link. EAPSv2 works using the concept of a controller and partner mechanism. Shared port status is verified using health PDUs exchanged by controller and partner. When a shared link goes down, the configured Controller will open only one segment port for each of the protected VLANs, keeping all other segment ports in a blocking state. This state is maintained as long as the Controller fails to receive the health PDUs over the (broken) shared link.

Although not supported by Extreme Networks, it is possible to complete this shared link with non-EAPS (but tag-aware) switches between the Controller and Partner.

When the shared link is restored, the Controller can then unblock its ports, the masters will see their hello packets, and the rings will be protected by their respective masters.

Brocken Railway

The Brocken Railway (Brockenbahn) is one of three tourist metre gauge railways which together with the Harz Railway and Selke Valley Railway form the Harz Narrow Gauge Railways railway network in the Harz mountain range of Germany.

It runs from the station of Drei Annen Hohne (51.7704°N, 10.7269°W) at 542 m, where it joins the Harz Railway, via Schierke and the Bode River valley to the summit of the Brocken (51.7997°N, 10.6179°W), the highest mountain of the Harz at 1141 m and part of the Harz National Park.

Route
The Brocken Railway leaves Drei Annen Hohne station, like the Harz Railway, in a southwesterly direction. As it leaves the station, however, it crosses the road to Schierke/Elend and then enters the Harz National Park. It then heads west to Schierke station (688 m), where until 1963, there was a siding to Knaupsholz granite quarry at about the half-way point. The line then runs for some distance along the valley of the Cold Bode, which lies south and far below the line. Next the 971 m high mountain, the Wurmberg, appears on the left, and the train crosses the Brocken Road for the first time.

After a tight left hand bend before the Eckerloch Bridge and another right-hander, the line reaches Goetheweg station (956 m), which is now only used as a locomotive depot. Then the line runs directly to the Brocken, encircling it in a spiral 1 ½ times, during which it crosses the Brocken Road again, and then finally ends after 18.9 km at Brocken station (1,125 m).

History
As early as 1869 there was a design for the construction of a railway to the Brocken, but it was turned down. A resubmission in 1895 succeeded, however, and, on 30 May 1896, the construction permit was issued once Prince Otto of Stolberg-Wernigerode had allocated the requisite land. The first section of the Brocken Railway, from Drei Annen Hohne to Schierke, was opened on 20 June 1898 and construction work for the remaining section up to the Brocken was begun on 4 October 1898. Initially services to the Brocken only ran between 30 April to 15 October; during the winter trains terminated at Schierke station. At the end of the Second World War significant damage occurred to the track, mainly through bombs and artillery shells, in the course of fighting in the Harz, which had been declared a fortress. The section to the Brocken was only reopened, therefore, in 1949.

The operator of the Brocken Railway until 5 August 1948 was the Nordhausen-Wernigerode Railway Company (NWE), after which it belonged from the Association of Publicly Owned Companies (VVB), part of Saxony-Anhalt's transport services, and, from 11 April 1949 to the Deutsche Reichsbahn in East Germany. Only after the German winter sports championships in 1950, which took place in Schierke, did winter trains run up to the Brocken summit. A railway station at Eckerloch was also built for the championships which was closed again after they had ended. The location of the former sidings at Eckerloch station can still be easily seen.

Goods trains continued to work the Brocken Railway right up to 1987, although since the construction of the Berlin Wall on 13 August 1961 the Brocken and its station had been part of the out-of-bounds area and thus not accessible to the public. Up to that time the trains transported coal, oil and building materials up the mountain for the East German Border Troops and Soviet soldiers who were stationed there.

Passengers services on the Brocken Railway continued to run from Drei Annen Hohne to Schierke; usually only two pairs of passenger train pairs ran each day; however they could be used with only a special pass, because Schierke lay in the border zone with West Germany.

After German reunification the continued operation of the Brocken Railway was initially called into question, however united efforts by railway enthusiasts and politicians under the overall control of the then state Minister for the Economy, Horst Rehberger, helped to give the Brocken Railway a second chance. The German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr) was also involved, because the Brocken Railway was needed to haul away the obsolete, military facilities on the Brocken. On 15 September 1991, after being renovated, the Brocken Railway was ceremoniously opened to the public with two steam-hauled trains. The trains were headed by locomotive no. 99 5903, a Mallet locomotive, which had been procured by the NWE in 1897/98, and locomotive no. 99 6001, a prototype developed in 1939 by the firm of Krupp.

Since the privatisation of the narrow gauge lines in the Harz in 1993 the Brocken Railway has been operated by the Harz Narrow Gauges Railways (HSB).

The steam trains on the Brocken Railway have become popular with thousands of tourists every year, offering convenient access to the top of the Brocken.

Current operations
Up to six pairs of trains run daily to the top of the Brocken during the winter. Of those, four start and end in Wernigerode. During the summer, services are increased to eleven pairs of trains daily. The fastest train takes 49 minutes to reach the summit. The Brocken Railway is the only HSB line whose regular services are exclusively hauled by steam locomotives such as the Class 99(specials are also hauled by diesel railbuses and diesel engines of Class 199.8, the latter for clearing snow).

Rice toppings

Dal Curry
This traditional Indian dish, normally served as a rice topping, involves common ingredients such as lentil or dal in Indian culture. The variety of lentils available each hold a unique taste which you can find in your local Indian store. Experimentation is a good thing in this recipe for a combination of two or more lentil types may be used for an exotic taste.

Ingredients

 * 100g lentil (Thoor, Moong, etc)
 * 1 onion coarsely chopped (red preferably)
 * 1 tomato coarsely chopped
 * 2-3 whole garlic cloves
 * 2-3 Kashmiri red chilies (Sabut mirch)
 * 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
 * 1/4 tsp turmeric powder (Haldi powder)
 * 1/2 tsp chili powder
 * 1/2 tsp salt
 * vegetable cooking oil
 * 10-12 curry leaves
 * 1 tsp finely chopped coriander leaves
 * Asafoetida powder

Instructions
In a pressure cooker or cooking vessel, add the dal, turmeric, 1/2 tsp oil, and 3-4 cups of water (depending on whether you want a thick or thin consistency). Cook dal for 30 minutes. Once the dal is semi solid to the touch, remove from heat and keep aside. In a pan, on medium heat, fry the garlic and onion in 2 tsps of oil till the onion is translucent. Next, add the chopped tomato. After 3 minutes, add the chili powder and salt. Continue frying until the fat separates or the consistency is similar to mashed potatoes'. Add the cooked dal and bring to a boil, remove from heat, and set aside. For tempering, place 1/2 tsp oil in a shallow pan and heat till smoking. The oil should be hot enough to pop the mustard seeds. Add said mustard seeds, curry leaves, chilies, and a pinch of Asafoetida powder. Remove within 20 seconds and add the contents to the dal. Garnish with the coriander and serve.

Mesomelia

Mesomelia refers to conditions in which the middle parts of limbs are disproportionately short. When applied to skeletal dysplasias, mesomelic dwarfism describes generalised shortening of the forearms and lower legs. This is in contrast to rhizomelic dwarfism in which the upper portions of limbs are short such as in achondroplasia.

Forms of mesomelic dwarfism currently described include:
 * Langer mesomelic dysplasia
 * Ellis–van Creveld syndrome
 * Robinow syndrome
 * Léri–Weill dyschondrosteosis

General Mechanics/Coupled Oscillators

We often encounter systems which contain multiple harmonic oscillators, such as this:

two identical masses, m, the first attached to a wall by a spring with constant k, and the second attached to the first by another, identical spring.

If the springs weren't linked they'd both vibrate at the same frequency, ω=√(k/m). Linking the springs changes this.

To find out how the linked system behaves, we will start with the Lagrangian, using the displacements of the masses, x1 and x2, as our coordinates.

A moment's inspection of the system shows

 * $$T=\frac{1}{2}m \left( \dot{x}^2_1 + \dot{x}^2_2 \right) \quad

V=\frac{1}{2}k \left( x_1^2 + (x_2-x_1)^2 \right) $$

so, using ω²=k/m,

 * $$L=\frac{1}{2}m \left( \dot{x}^2_1 + \dot{x}^2_2 \right) -

\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2 \left( x_1^2 + (x_2-x_1)^2 \right)$$

The equations of motion immediately follow.

 * $$\begin{matrix}

\ddot{x}_1 & = & -\omega^2 (2x_1 -x_2) \\ \ddot{x}_2 & = & -\omega^2 (x_2 -x_1) \end{matrix} \quad (1)$$

To solve these equations we try a solution in trig functions
 * $$x_1 = A_1 \sin \Omega t \quad x_2 = A_2 \sin \Omega t $$

Substituting this into (1) gives

 * $$\begin{matrix}

-\Omega^2 A_1 & + & \omega^2 (2A_1-A_2) & = & 0 \\ -\Omega^2 A_2 & + & \omega^2 (A_2-A_1) & = & 0 \\ \end{matrix} $$

We would get the same equations from any trig function solution of the same frequency.

Gathering the coefficients of A1 and A2 together lets rewrite the last equation as

\begin{pmatrix} 2\omega^2-\Omega^2 & -\omega^2 \\ -\omega^2 & \omega^2-\Omega^2 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} A_1 \\ A_2 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \quad (2)$$

We can only solve this equation if the determinant of the matrix is zero.

 * $$\Omega^4-3\omega^2 \Omega^2 + \omega^4 = 0$$

The solutions are

 * $$ \Omega_{\pm}^2=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{5} }{2} \omega^2 $$

so the combined system has two natural frequencies, one lower and one higher than the natural frequency of the individual springs. This is typical.

We can also calculate the ratio of A1 and A2 from (2). Dividing by A2 gives

 * $$\frac{A_1}{A_2}= 1-\frac{\Omega_{\pm}^2}{\omega^2}$$

 * For the lower frequency, Ω-, which is less than ω, the ratio is positive, so the two masses move in the same direction with different amplitudes. They are said to be in phase.

 * For the higher frequency, Ω+, which is more than ω, the ratio is negative, so the two masses move in the opposite direction with different amplitudes. They are said to be in antiphase.

This behaviour is typical when pairs of harmonic oscillators are coupled.

The same approach can also be used for systems with more than two particles.

Delhi–Alwar Regional Rapid Transit System

Delhi–Alwar Regional Rapid Transit System (Delhi–Alwar RRTS) is a 164 km long under-construction semi-high speed rail corridor connecting Delhi, Gurgaon, Rewari and Alwar. It is one of the three RapidX corridors planned under Phase-1 of the Rapid Rail Transport System of the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC). With maximum speed of 160 km/h and average speed of 105 km/h, the distance between Delhi and Alwar will be covered in 104 minutes. The project is expected to cost ₹37,000 crores.

History
The National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) as part of its Integrated Transportation Plan 2032 identified eight rail based rapid transit corridors to improve the efficacy of transportation system in the NCR. These were: Of these Delhi-Alwar, Delhi-Panipat and Delhi-Meerut are to be constructed in the first phase. The Urban Mass Transit Company was given the job of conducting a feasibility study on 23 March 2010. The study thus submitted was approved by the Planning Board in 2012. The contract was then transferred to NCRTC on 18 January 2017 to carry the study forward.
 * 1) Delhi - Gurgaon - Rewari - Alwar
 * 2) Delhi - Ghaziabad - Meerut
 * 3) Delhi - Sonipat - Panipat
 * 4) Delhi - Faridabad - Ballabhgarh - Palwal
 * 5) Delhi - Bahadurgarh - Rohtak
 * 6) Delhi - Shahadra - Baraut
 * 7) Ghaziabad - Khurja
 * 8) Ghaziabad - Hapur

On 15 June 2018, the 100 km long first phase of the project from Hazrat Nizamuddin to Shahjahanpur-Neemrana-Behror, at an estimated cost of ₹25,000 crore, was approved by the Haryana government.

John Buller (politician, born 1745)

John Buller (1745–1793), was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1768 and 1784 and was an active agent in various Cornish constituencies.. Buller was the son of James Buller and his second wife Lady Jane Bathurst daughter of Allen Bathurst, 1st Earl Bathurst  and was baptized on 28 February 1745. He matriculated at Balliol College, Oxford on 18 January 1764.

In the 1768 general election Buller was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for Exeter on the corporation interest. He married Anne Lemon, daughter of William Lemon of Carclew and sister of Sir William Lemon, 1st Baronet on 3 April 1770. Some time before 1774, probably on the death of his half-brother James in 1772, Buller took over the management at West Looe constituency, where he was able to arrange the return of two Members. He also began interfering in other constituencies, not necessarily for his own return but to affect the outcome of the poll.

In the 1774 general election he stood for Parliament at Cornwall and Launceston. He stood at Cornwall in order to draw votes away the opponents of his brother in law William Lemon and came third, but he was returned as MP at Launceston. After inheriting property at Saltash, he contested the borough in 1780, but only so could surrender it for the wardenship of the stannaries. He was defeated but petitioned, and a committee of the House of Commons decided against him only by the chairman's casting vote. At the same time he was able to return himself as MP at West Looe. He resigned his seat there in 1782 and in 1783 he again contested Saltash but was defeated and had his petition rejected again. He returned himself briefly for West Looe when one of the members died in 1784. In the 1784 general election he stood at Exeter again and was defeated. His involvement at Saltash in the 1784 election was on behalf of John Lemon who after petitions and disputes about voting rights was eventually returned in 1787. In the 1790 general election Buller did not stand but was able to return Government supporters both at Saltash and at West Looe. He was appointed a commissioner of Excise in 1790.

Buller died on 26 November 1793.

Computer Architecture Lab/HOWTO

A collection of some tips for your microprocessor design

Memory
You will probably need some memory for your processor. The simplest way to start is using the small on-chip memory blocks in the FPGA. You can instantiate the vendor-specific components (e.g. altsyncram . However, to get a vendor-independent design it is also possible to use plain VHDL.

Note: In actual FPGAs you cannot use memories in an asynchronous mode. At the minimum the address, data input and write enable are registered.

ROM
A ROM can be described by a simple VHDL case statement:

-- -- rom.vhd -- -- generic VHDL version of ROM -- --     DONT edit this file! --     it is automatically generated --

library ieee; use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;

entity rom is generic (width : integer; addr_width : integer);   -- for compatibility port (   clk         : in std_logic;    address     : in std_logic_vector(9 downto 0);    q           : out std_logic_vector(7 downto 0) ); end rom;

architecture rtl of rom is

signal areg    : std_logic_vector(9 downto 0); signal data    : std_logic_vector(7 downto 0);

begin

process(clk) begin

if rising_edge(clk) then areg <= address; end if;

end process;

q <= data;

process(areg) begin

case areg is

when "0000000000" => data <= "10000000"; when "0000000001" => data <= "10000000"; when "0000000010" => data <= "11000000"; when "0000000011" => data <= "10000000"; when "0000000100" => data <= "00011011"; when "0000000101" => data <= "11000001"; ....       when "1111011011" => data <= "10000000"; when "1111011100" => data <= "10000000"; when "1111011101" => data <= "10000000"; when "1111011110" => data <= "10000000";

when others => data <= "00000000"; end case; end process;

end rtl;

Write a small program to generate this VHDL file from your assembler output or even let your assembler write the output as VHDL (see as exmple Jopa.java).

Another tool to generate a ROM VHDL file (romgen.cpp) is available in pacman_003.zip.

RAM
Even dual ported memories can now (with careful VHDL coding) be instantiated from plain VHDL as the following example shows:

-- --	sdpram.vhd -- --	Simple dual port ram with read and write port --		and independent clocks -- --	When using different clocks following warning is generated: --		Functionality differs from the original design. --	Read during write at the same address is undefined. -- --	Author: Martin Schoeberl<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-- --	2006-08-03	adapted from simulation only version --

library ieee; use ieee.std_logic_1164.all; use ieee.numeric_std.all;

entity sdpram is generic (width : integer := 32; addr_width : integer := 7); port (	wrclk		: in std_logic;	data		: in std_logic_vector(width-1 downto 0);	wraddress	: in std_logic_vector(addr_width-1 downto 0);	wren		: in std_logic;

rdclk		: in std_logic; rdaddress	: in std_logic_vector(addr_width-1 downto 0); dout		: out std_logic_vector(width-1 downto 0) ); end sdpram ;

architecture rtl of sdpram is

signal reg_dout			: std_logic_vector(width-1 downto 0);

subtype word is std_logic_vector(width-1 downto 0); constant nwords : integer := 2 ** addr_width; type ram_type is array(0 to nwords-1) of word;

signal ram : ram_type;

begin

process (wrclk) begin if rising_edge(wrclk) then if wren='1' then ram(to_integer(unsigned(wraddress))) <= data; end if; end if; end process;

process (rdclk) begin if rising_edge(rdclk) then reg_dout <= ram(to_integer(unsigned(rdaddress))); dout <= reg_dout; end if; end process;

end rtl;

Use a single clock connected to wrclk and rdclk for your design

External Memory
For the 32 bit 1 MB SRAM on the FPGA board you can use the SimpCom compatible memory interface (sc_sram32.vhd) that is provided with JOP.

General
This RAM implementation enables you to use the XILINX Block RAMs within your design. It is based on the code from the XILINX XST Manual. For small RAMs (e.g. address bus width = 3) distributed RAM is used since for such small memories it needs less logic cells. The code was synthesised using ISE Webpack 8.2i03 and tested on a Micromodule from Trenz Elektronik (carring a XC3S1000-4). The testroutine fills the RAM using a serial port and reads back the RAM contents. It is not included in the Wiki since it only works with additional hardware (serial port). Additionally the code was synthesised using QuartusII 6.0sp1 WebPack and tested on the LAB hardware.

Implementation Summary
TBD...to be done

Simple Dual-Port RAM
The following code is compiled to on-chip memory, which is prefered for the register file.

Automation
When your processor build process gets more complex a more batch oriented build process will come handy. make will be your friend. Following listing shows how to use Quartus II from within a Makefile:

qsyn: echo $(QBT) echo "building $(QBT)" -rm -r quartus/$(QBT)/db -rm quartus/$(QBT)/jop.sof -rm jbc/$(QBT).jbc -rm rbf/$(QBT).rbf quartus_map quartus/$(QBT)/jop quartus_fit quartus/$(QBT)/jop quartus_asm quartus/$(QBT)/jop quartus_tan quartus/$(QBT)/jop
 * 1) 	Quartus build process
 * 2) 		called by jopser, jopusb,...
 * 1) 		called by jopser, jopusb,...

The example is taken from the Makefile for JOP.

JOP as an Example
If you want to see a Java processor (JOP) running on the board follow the instructions in Jopwiki Getting started. The processor is open-source and you can borrow some ideas from it.

GCSE ICT/ICT and Banks

Banks have been heavy users of ICT for a long time. From the introduction of MICR in the 1950's through to the current push for 'Chip and PIN'.

The reason for this enthusiasm for new technology is to keep costs down. A simple estimate of the number of transactions that occur daily in the UK will explain why automation is essential!

How many people have bank accounts? - estimate 1/3 of the population... some 20 million people.

How often do they use their accounts? this is a for bill payments, holes in the wall transactions, debit cards, etc. - estimate every other day... so 10 million transactions per day.

How long does it take to handle a transaction? guess 30 seconds of human work... so 5 million minutes of work per day.

How many transactions could a worker handle in a day? based on an 8 hour day... 8 hours = 480 minutes (roughly 500 minutes...)

So how many workers would be needed to keep up with these transactions?

$$Workers \ Needed = \frac {Minutes \ work \ needed} {Minutes \ in \ a \ working \ day}$$

$$Workers \ Needed = \frac {5,000,000} {500} = \frac {50,000} {5} = 10,000 $$

So around an additional 10,000 workers would be required - and these figures are underestimates.

Jacqueline Law

Jacqueline Law (October 10, 1966 – June 30, 2012) was a Hong Kong television and film actress.

Background
Law's older brother Law Wai-ping was an actor for TVB during the 1980s. In 1987, Law launched her own acting career at the age of 17. Despite her lack of professional acting experience at the time, Law was cast in a lead role in the 1987 Hong Kong television series The Legend of the Book and the Sword. She portrayed Fok-ching-tung in the series, a television adaptation of Louis Cha's The Book and the Sword, which marked her first dramatic role.

Law was next cast in A Friend in Need, which co-starred Jaime Chik, Simon Yam, and Leon Lai.

Law dated Singaporean magnate and businessman Liu Chee Ming for eleven years. The couple married in 2008.

Her diagnosis with pancreatic cancer led to her retirement from acting. Law held a farewell party in February 2012 before moving to Singapore with her husband for treatment. Guests, composed of twenty friends, included actresses Kitty Lai, Sheren Tang, and Monica Chan. Law died at her home in Singapore on June 30, 2012, at the age of 45.

 * There's a chapter in North to Canada: Men and Women Against the Vietnam War ISBN<PHONE_NUMBER> with details on her emigration from the US to Canada (her husband dodged the draft) and the early parts of her career.

We need WP:BETTER not deletionism. Edward Vielmetti (talk) 06:25, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Views on Climate Change
Other views have been presented in this article, and yet this particular one is removed, despite being adequately sourced and relevant to a BLP. I've undone the removal. If there is a good reason why her stated views are irrelevant I'm interested in hearing it. Wbehun (talk) 02:35, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
 * She was born in 1946. Article was written in 2009. Global warming didn't become a big issue til about 1989 at the earliest. Are you suggesting that she has to kill one of her adult children to express a view on what's best for the planet? You claim to be a lecturer on philosophy - explain this one to me. (And per WP:BLP, do not reinsert the text without discussion concluding.) Rd232 talk 07:20, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
 * My credentials are easily established, although irrelevant here. I currently teach Philosophy for the World Campus at Penn State University and also at St. Xavier University in Chicago.  Feel free to phone either department to confirm this.  At no point did I state or imply that anyone ought to be killing anyone. This suggestion came only from you. She is welcome, of course, to express her views. Those views are part of her biography, and as such belong in the entry.  You removed the entire passage pertaining to that view without comment, rather than attempting to engage in rational discourse on the subject which may well have lead to a consensus. Wbehun (talk) 09:18, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The suggestion that she ought to kill one of her children dates to an anonymous editor in December; it was swiftly removed. I merely echoed it because it highlights the alleged problem (policy v practice). I mentioned your position because I felt you ought to see more clearly than most that an implication of hypocrisy arises from placing the "One child policy" view next to "she has 2 children", and that this implication is unwarranted. It is this implication which creates the WP:BLP violation. Mere inclusion of the One Child Policy view is more debatable; it was included for some months until March (see Backstory section below for the chronology). Subsequently it has been removed by multiple editors, and the justification is that picking this one view is cherry-picking, which is impermissible under a number of policies, such as WP:UNDUE (give due weight to all aspects of a subject's life and work) and WP:PSTS (don't rely on primary sources because it is secondary source coverage which establishes significance such that content be included). But as the history demonstrates, consensus can change, and in the current debate it may change again. It would be much preferable if people would wait for discussion to reach something resembling a conclusion before editing, but patience is a rare virtue in Wikipedia editors. Rd232 talk 09:35, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * RD232's rant not withstanding, there doesn't appear to be any policy based objection to the well sourced content. Freakshownerd (talk) 12:45, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * That would be WP:NPOV. Her children were undoubtedly conceived some time before climate change became a public issue, and certainly long before the article was written saying the planet would be better off with 1 child per couple. It is unreasonable to effectively accuse a journalist of hypocrisy in the circumstances described - Ethics 101: EPIC FAIL. Rd232 talk 13:37, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Rd232 had blocked Freakshownerd while edit warring over this issue, and I have strongly encouraged him to reverse his block and continue discussion on this talk page.  The content should be included in this BLP -- this is a particularly notable view of this BLP, and it can be very well sourced to her own words in the Fox News interview and even better in her own column: The real inconvenient truth where she states:

"''A planetary law, such as China's one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days."

"''Ironically, China, despite its dirty coal plants, is the world's leader in terms of fashioning policy to combat environmental degradation, thanks to its one-child-only edict."

"China has proven that birth restriction is smart policy. Its middle class grows, all its citizens have housing, health care, education and food, and the one out of five human beings who live there are not overpopulating the planet."

"The only fix is if all countries drastically reduce their populations, clean up their messes and impose mandatory conservation measures."

 * She is an extremist with extremist views, at least on this topic.  She owns these views, has written a column about it, given interviews about her views.  There is absolutely no reason to keep this information out of her BLP and every reason to include it. However, she is clearly talking about going forward and not killing extra children that are already born.  It is unnecessary and harmful to note in the context of this discussion that she has two children -- that is irrelevant to her views about what should be done in the future.  Minor4th  19:15, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

 * The clear BLP violation was including the view along with the comment about her having 2 children. Whether the view alone is worth including is more debatable (cherrypicking journalists' views is a perennial Wikipedia problem), but in view of the circumstances I don't wish to debate it myself - please go to WP:BLPN for input. Thanks. Rd232 talk 19:23, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * You should of course note that WP:BLP also applies to talk pages, so please refrain from labelling BLP subjects "extremist" unnecessarily. The issue can be perfectly well discussed without that. Rd232 talk 19:25, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Finally, please remove the claim that I was "edit warring" - I was enforcing BLP policy. By longstanding agreement the text Freakshownerd was edit warring to reinsert was a BLP violation. In addition, I believe that Freakshownerd is likely a sockpuppet of a banned user, which factored into my decision to block. Rd232 talk 19:27, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

 * You were edit warring. Your last revert of Freakshow had no BLP implications at all.  Freakshow had not inserted this bit about the one child policy, but you reverted nonetheless.   You should unblock him and wait for consensus on this one child issue, whether that takes place here or on BLPN.   That is the sum of my participation in this article if you unblock Freakshownerd to allow his participation.  The fact that it is a discussion at BLPN is reason enough to unblock him to allow him to participate in an issue that is clearly not settled and is not such a blatant BLP violation as you're insisting -- if it were so blatant there would be no discussion at BLPN and no contrary position to be taken.  If you will no unblock him, I feel somewhat obligated to remain in the discussion so that the view opposed to yours is adequately represented.  Minor4th  19:38, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Look, if you want to denounce me as a Rouge Admin at WP:ANI then go do that. Beyond that, the block is for 24 hours, and the sky will not fall if Freakshownerd turns out not be a sock and resumes editing only tomorrow rather than right now. Also, there is no current BLPN discussion - I'm inviting you to start one, if you wish to pursue the content issue immediately. (Patience is such a lacking virtue in Wikipedia editors.) Rd232 talk 19:45, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The irony ..... Minor4th  20:13, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * ...would be where? BLP violations must be removed immediately. Useful text which turns out not to be a violation can be reinserted at leisure, after sufficient discussion. Rd232 talk 20:32, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Now I remember, we've had this discussion before.  That is not how BLP policy works.   You can remove controversial BLP info that is unsourced or poorly sourced, which was not the case here.   There's no question that it is her view and that she stated it in interviews and in her own column.  You are not challenging the information or its accuracy -- you just don't want that particular content in the article.  That is not a BLP issue, that's a straight up content dispute and consensus here is against you.  It doesn't belong on BLPN because there's no BLP issue.  Please quit telling other editors not to edit and by all means stop using your admin tools to win content disputes.  Minor4th  20:37, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * You're wrong, and I'm tired of repeating myself. Rd232 talk 20:42, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm...using an opinion piece as a source on a third-party seems to be problematic to me. But I'm not sure why the entire sentence was removed and not just the offending phrase. May I suggest the following:

Francis has said that the biggest issue in the climate change debate is overpopulation and has advocated a "planetary law, such as China's one-child policy".

A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 20:10, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

AQFK -- it's not a third party opinion piece, it is a column that she herself wrote, and it was also sourced with her own words from an interview on Fox. Having said that, I think your proposed edit is fine and captures the essence of her views. Minor4th  20:12, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Previous discussions of this type have cited WP:PSTS in terms of the need not to cherrypick journalists' views of interest to individual editors. Please do take this WP:BLPN before editing. Rd232 talk 20:18, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Rd232: Personally, I dislike using primary sources for contentious or controversial content, but current Wikipedia policy allows it. In fact, we do it all over Wikipedia.  In any case, do you have a specific BLP objection to my suggested wording?  If so, what is the specific objection?  A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 20:39, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * cherry-picking would be the concern - hence my reference to WP:PSTS. But in the absence of anybody respecting my request to go to BLPN, I'm going to go and start a thread there myself. Rd232 talk 20:42, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Rd232: You're entitled to your opinion but cherry-picking isn't a Wikipedia policy or guideline. Perhaps you meant WP:UNDUE?  Even still, given that this is a single sentence, I find such an argument to be severely lacking.  Of course, if the article were to turn into a WP:COATRACK to promote her views, that would be one thing.  But as it stands, a single sentence is hardly undue weight.  Do you have a specific policy-based BLP objection to this content? A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 20:52, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * See the new WP:BLPN thread. A combination of NPOV (WP:UNDUE) and PSTS would be the policy, and "cherry-picking" sums up the concern. Rd232 talk 20:55, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

 * (EC)I was referring to the third source cited which is an opinion piece written by Lysiane Gagnon. But wait a second, which source was being used for the "although she has two children" phrase? I don't see it in any of the three sources.  A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 20:22, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

 * I don't think the two children should be cited in the same section as the one child policy. Minor4th  20:28, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

 * If a source can be found for her two children, it should be in a different section of the article. I believe that my suggested wording fixes the BLP issue. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 20:54, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * That sounds like a good compromise to me.  SPLETTE  :] How's my driving? 21:41, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Here are two more sources commenting on this issue:
 * http://www.nationalpost.com/scripts/story.html?id=2340660
 * http://www.nationalreview.com/campaign-spot/5583/what-i-meant-was-i-you-people-i-should-only-have-one-child

[PA redacted Rd232 talk 20:49, 27 August 2010 (UTC)] The controversy over her position on this issue is by the best referenced most sourced aspect of the whole article, much of which is advertorial. The last edit I made had nothing to do with this dispute and attempted to fix some of the flowery propagandistic language used in the article that is sourced only to her personal webpage and corporate bio. [PA redacted Rd232 talk 20:49, 27 August 2010 (UTC)] Freakshownerd (talk) 21:28, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

 * I am going to call consensus on this issue and add the content that is being discussed if it has not already been added.  There are now 5 editors in favor of it and one opposed with no sound policy rationale for leaving out the material that is not contentious.  Minor4th  21:51, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Which version are you intending to add? I do oppose the original one but support the wording AQFK suggested above.  SPLETTE  :] How's my driving? 21:54, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I added the one that AQFK proposed. Minor4th  21:55, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm so glad we've had all of several hours' discussion before you did that. - especially considering that precisely this content was removed in an OTRS ticket in March  and has not stayed in the article since. Rd232 talk 22:05, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Rd232: I'm not familiar with this OTRS ticket, but if it involved the claim that a single sentence rendered an entire article a WP:COATRACK, then something appears to have gone wrong. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 22:13, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't have the OTRS ticket. The edit summary says "rmv'd coatrack statement". Rd232 talk 23:53, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, as stated before, a single statement does not a coatrack make. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 00:07, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * And as also stated before, the term is sometimes used quite loosely. It still has a recognisable meaning when applied to a single statement, albeit not a correct usage. Rd232 talk 00:09, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

What exactly makes this comment notable? She does not appear to have campaigned on this issue, as far as I can tell from the backstory, nor has it been the subject of a significant controversy - other than apparently being highlighted in an opinion piece by a political opponent. In what way is this not a case of out-of-context cherry-picking? It's very clear from the comments of some editors here ("propagandizing his left wing viewpoints") that they have explicitly political motives in pushing this content. -- ChrisO (talk) 22:10, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * It should be remembered that the editor who inserted it originally in December 2009 was explicitly trying to use Wikipedia as a platform for this meme. Rd232 talk 23:04, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Does he control Diane Francis and did he make her give an interview to a major new network about the issue? Criticisms of her view haven't even been included, so the "this is a blp violation" nonsense needs to stop. It's her view that has been reported and and commented on by various notable figures and it's far and away the best sourced bit in the whole article. Freakshownerd (talk) 02:09, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * If sourcing (in the sense of WP:V verifiability) were the only factor, we could delete WP:BLP policy as redundant. Rd232 talk 02:26, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Backstory
Previous removals of the content in question:

December 2009
 * 1) User:The Magnificent Clean-keeper  and again for reinsertion of "2 children" as vandalism
 * 2) User:KimDabelsteinPetersen
 * 3) WMC  and rvv "2 children"
 * 4) User:PhGustaf  and again for reinsertion of "despite 2 children"  as vandalism x2
 * consensus end December: keep "one child policy" view without "2 children" in proximity.

March 2009
 * 1) OTRS ticket removes it entirely

''July 2009;;
 * 1) Rd232 first removal July 2010

August 2009
 * 1) User:Prolog  several times, adding semi-protection against sock-puppetry
 * 2) User:Steven J. Anderson
 * 3) 21/22 Aug - Rd232 removing 2x from Wbehun and several more times from Freakshownerd

Rd232 talk 23:04, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

 * ChrisO reverted out the sourced content citing "obvious BLP violation" - clearly against consensus and contrary to policy. "cherry-picking" is not part of the BLP policy. I've reverted him and restored the sourced, uncontentious sentence.   Please do not engage in further reverts unless consensus is gained.   If you want more of her views in the article, improve the article and add content. Minor4th  01:40, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I find it interesting that even after clear evidence that the issue is contentious and a WP:BLPN discussion underway besides discussion here, all currently somewhat afflicted by the Freakshownerd block drama, you choose to reinsert the text immediately. You've repeatedly lectured me about BLP policy but you seem to fail to grasp the very basic spirit of it, which is caution, which is to say, not insisting on controversial content being present in the article whilst it is under active discussion about whether it merits inclusion (especially when there was a previous consensus against, as the Backstory above clearly shows). If we took BLP policy seriously, such behaviour would be blockable. (Don't worry, we don't.) Rd232 talk 02:32, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Edit warring

 * Can we also get a review of my last edit (which was reverted by Rd232 in his 9th or 10th revert) and see what editors think of my removal of weasel words, advertorial content, and tightening up of what's there. I think cites are needed to establish the notability and factual basis for some of the claims made which is why I also added cite needed tags. There was quite a bit of peacockery. Freakshownerd (talk) 21:55, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Shame you won't take multiple editors' advice and take a break from editing. Clearly this was a stressful situation (not just for you, mind) and it's not conducive to good editing or constructive discussion. But since you foreground that last edit of yours again, I quote here what I said on my talk page "Actually, looking at that edit more closely, the blogspot was there in the article and had been for a long time. What Freakshownerd did was push it into its own paragraph - quite bizarrely. What I overlooked until now (zero edit summary not helping, and the diff isn't the easiest to scan) was that he did make other changes there, which might be construable as NPOVing/cleanup (eg "best-selling" appears unsourced). Darn it, if it hadn't been for the combination of no edit summary and possibly unintentional bizarre formatting with the key "2 children" line, I wouldn't have felt the need to block him." I do apologise for this oversight, with its deeply regrettable consequences. I doubt you'll believe me (especially if you are in fact a sock of a banned user, as I still believe...) but my actions were entirely in good faith. Rd232 talk 02:23, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it's nice to see that you have at least gone some way in whispering an acknowledgement on your own talkpage about your massive fuck up and abusive behavior. The idea that you're a victim for edit warring against consensus and then blocking based on your misunderstanding of an unrelated edit in a situation in which you were deeply involved is a bit of a stretch, don't you think? Maybe try a cold compress. Now if you'll restore my edit by self-reverting we can get on with content improvement. I certainly hope you've learned something from your highly abusive and disgusting behavior and that it won't be repeated any time soon. You also might consider dropping your frivolous and highly disruptive invocation of "BLP violation" for well sourced content expressing the subject's own views on population control measures. Freakshownerd (talk) 02:28, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Freakshownerd, you seem unable to do a single edit that does not include swearing and personal attacks. Rd232 has apologized to you, yet you go on and on with "massive fuck up", "abusive behavior", "your highly abusive and disgusting behavior" etc. I really think it is you who owes him an apology  SPLETTE  :] How's my driving? 02:35, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Rd232 has NEVER apologized to me and is in fact playing the victim. If you want me to refrain from animated commentary on his highly abusive behavior I suggest you encourage him to apologize, to selfrevert the content he edit warrred over, and to cease stalking my contributions, slinging false accusations at me, and avoid lying about what he has and hasn't said and done. Cheers. Freakshownerd (talk) 03:12, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Did you actually read his comment above?  SPLETTE  :] How's my driving? 03:17, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * You banned me from your talk page and haven't provided an email address - how exactly are you expecting an apology to be communicated? I posted some comments on my user talk page, where anyone interested can follow exactly my view of the matter, including what exactly I did apologise for there (which Freakshownerd is misrepresenting as part of his outpouring of hyperbolic vitriol, for which he's now been temporarily blocked). For the rest, the content focus of this discussion has much been lost and perhaps someone could restart it with a new section and a brief summary of the current content issue. It's possible everyone's happy with the status quo now, but it's not really clear. Rd232 talk 16:42, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * You might pause to consider the possibility that 8 editors and counting removing the text, plus an OTRS ticket, might mean there's something in it. The rest can wait til tomorrow and/or for somebody else. WP:IMPERFECT. Rd232 talk 02:40, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

WP:BLP violation has been restored
This edit here has restored the BLP violation. Please note that I have notified the WP:BLPN of the situation. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 13:58, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with Tmorton's modification. Stop howling BLP violation any time you disagree with an opinion offered in an article. See wp:NPOV. Freakshownerd (talk) 14:12, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
 * just as a note; I agree the Newsbusters source is no good ("just a blog" etc.). The National Post and The American Spectator may be reliable sources though. NP article is a news story as part of their site (so that passes). The AmSpec one I am less sure about but WP:RS is quite specific in saying: Some news outlets host interactive columns that they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field on which they write and the blog is subject to the news outlet's full editorial control. --Errant Tmorton166(Talk) 14:49, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
 * In accordance with the detailed rationale given at the BPLN discussion, I've amended the section to make it clear that Francis was raising various environmental concerns about overpopulation, not specifically climate change, though she tied the column in to the then current conference. . . dave souza, talk 03:23, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Reboot
Now that User:Freakshownerd has exited stage left (blocked for being a WP:SOCK), let's revisit this. It remains the case that Francis' view on this issue is currently sourced just to the original Francis article and a Fox interview. There's also been mentioned (above) an extremely short blog entry and an article in Francis' own paper. This amounts to a pretty small hill of beans. Francis has been a journalist for two decades - choosing one recent article to highlight in her biography is recentist cherrypicking which violates WP:UNDUE - particularly when looking at her books, the subject of which can reasonably be taken as indicative of the sort of things she writes about. So I suggest either delete it, or show that the view is that notable, or expand coverage of a range of her views so that mentioning it isn't so UNDUE. Rd232 talk 20:47, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Why don't we actually include some of her more notable views that may be more widely covered in reliable sources -- then come back to this issue of the population control and see how it fits in the article in context with her other notable views? I do agree that this is only the most recent view that has gotten attention, and it shouldnt be represented as the sum total of her views. Minor4th  23:56, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I also question using the Fox News interview after re-reading it. Although it is her words, it was clear the interviewer was being really aggressive and was twisting her words and trying to make her look bad.  It's hard to source her statements from that interview fairly because to explain the actual context would be OR. Minor4th  23:58, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

I've removed it. At very best it's sensationalism. If there are far better sources available that clearly demonstrate encyclopedic value, than it should be discussed. --Ronz (talk) 19:43, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
