Introduction to Paleoanthropology/Hominids Acheulean

African Homo erectus: Homo ergaster
H. ergaster existed between 1.8 million and 1.3 million years ago.

Like H. habilis, the face shows: Early H. ergaster specimens average about 900 cc, while late ones have an average of about 1100 cc. The skeleton is more robust than those of modern humans, implying greater strength.
 * protruding jaws with large molars;
 * no chin;
 * thick brow ridges;
 * long low skull, with a brain size varying between 750 and 1225 cc.

Body proportions vary:
 * Ex. Turkana Boy is tall and slender, like modern humans from the same area, while the few limb bones found of Peking Man indicate a shorter, sturdier build.

Study of the Turkana Boy skeleton indicates that H. ergaster may have been more efficient at walking than modern humans, whose skeletons have had to adapt to allow for the birth of larger-brained infants.

Homo habilis and all the australopithecines are found only in Africa, but H. erectus/ergaster was wide-ranging, and has been found in Africa, Asia, and Europe.

Asian Homo erectus
Specimens of H. erectus from Eastern Asia differ morphologically from African specimens:
 * features are more exaggerated;
 * skull is thicker, brow ridges are more pronounced, sides of skull slope more steeply, the sagittal crest is more exaggerated;
 * Asian forms do not show the increase in cranial capacity.

As a consequence of these features, they are less like humans than the African forms of H. erectus.

Paleoanthropologists who study extinct populations are forced to decide whether there was one species or two based on morphological traits alone. They must ask whether eastern and western forms are as different from each other as typical species.

If systematics finally agree that eastern and western populations of H. erectus are distinct species, then the eastern Asian form will keep the name H. erectus. The western forms have been given a new name: Homo ergaster (means "work man") and was first applied to a very old specimen from East Turkana in East Africa.

Homo georgicus
Specimens recovered recently exhibit characteristic H. erectus features: sagittal crest, marked constriction of the skull behind the eyes. But they are also extremely different in several ways, resembling H. habilis:
 * small brain size (600 cc);
 * prominent browridge;
 * projection of the face;
 * rounded contour of the rear of skull;
 * huge canine teeth.

Some researchers propose that these fossils might represent a new species of Homo: H. georgicus.

Homo antecessor
Named in 1997 from fossils (juvenile specimen) found in Atapuerca (Spain). Dated to at least 780,000 years ago, it makes these fossils the oldest confirmed European hominids.

Mid-facial area of antecessor seems very modern, but other parts of skull (e.g., teeth, forehead and browridges) are much more primitive. Fossils assigned to new species on grounds that they exhibit unknown combination of traits: they are less derived in the Neanderthal direction than later mid-Quaternary European specimens assigned to Homo heidelbergensis.

Homo heidelbergensis
Archaic forms of Homo sapiens first appeared in Europe about 500,000 years ago (until about 200,000 years ago) and are called Homo heidelbergensis.

Found in various places in Europe, Africa and maybe Asia.

This species covers a diverse group of skulls which have features of both Homo erectus and modern humans. Fossil features:
 * brain size is larger than erectus and smaller than most modern humans: averaging about 1200 cc;
 * skull is more rounded than in erectus;
 * still large brow ridges and receding foreheads;
 * skeleton and teeth are usually less robust than erectus, but more robust than modern humans;
 * mandible is human-like, but massive and chinless; shows expansion of molar cavities and very long cheek tooth row, which implies a long, forwardly projecting face.

Fossils could represent a population near the common ancestry of Neanderthals and modern humans.

Footprints of H. heidelbergensis (earliest human footprints) have been found in Italy in 2003.

Phylogenic relationships
For almost three decades, paleoanthropologists have often divided the genus Homo among three successive species:
 * Homo habilis, now dated between roughly 2.5 Myrs and 1.7 Myrs ago;
 * Homo erectus, now placed between roughly 1.7 Myrs and 500,000 years ago;
 * Homo sapiens, after 500,000 years ago.

In this view, each species was distinguished from its predecessor primarily by larger brain size and by details of cranio-facial morphology:
 * Ex. Change in braincase shape from more rounded in H. habilis to more angular in H. erectus to more rounded again in H. sapiens.

The accumulating evidence of fossils has increasingly undermined a scenario based on three successive species or evolutionary stages. It now strongly favors a scheme that more explicitly recognizes the importance of branching in the evolution of Homo.

This new scheme continues to accept H. habilis as the ancestor for all later Homo. Its descendants at 1.8-1.7 million mears ago may still be called H. erectus, but H. ergaster is now more widely accepted. By 600,000-500,000 years ago, H. ergaster had produced several lines leading to H. neanderthalensis in Europe and H. sapiens in Africa. About 600,000 years ago, both of these species shared a common ancestor to which the name H. heidelbergensis could be applied.

"Out-of-Africa 1" model
Homo erectus in Asia would be as old as Homo ergaster in Africa. Do the new dates from Dmanisi and Java falsify the hypothesis of an African origin for Homo erectus? Not necessarily.

If the species evolved just slightly earlier than the oldest African fossils (2.0-1.9 million years ago) and then immediately began its geographic spread, it could have reached Europe and Asia fairly quickly.

But the "Out-of-Africa 1" migration is more complex. Conventional paleoanthropological wisdom holds that the first human to leave Africa were tall, large-brained hominids (Homo ergaster/erectus). New fossils discovered in Georgia (Dmanisi) are forcing scholars to rethink that scenario completely. These Georgian hominids are far smaller and more primitive in both anatomy and technology than expected, leaving experts wondering not only why early humans first ventured out of Africa, but also how.

Summary
Homo ergaster was the first hominid species whose anatomy fully justify the label human:
 * Unlike australopithecines and Homo habilis, in which body form and proportions retained apelike features suggesting a continued reliance on trees for food or refuge, H. ergaster achieved essentially modern forms and proportions;
 * Members also differed from australopithecines and H. habilis in their increased, essentially modern stature and in their reduced degree of sexual dimorphism.

Reviewer: J Milburn (talk · contribs) 20:53, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Claiming this one now. Review to follow. J Milburn (talk) 20:53, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

I didn't realise that diving horses were a real sideshow. How sad.

 * The plot summary feels a smidge longer than it needs to be.
 * I removed a part about Clinton. I was already considering to remove it since it's really not an important part of the storyline. Theleftorium (talk) 18:31, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * How many races does Duncan win before the jockeys threaten Homer? The plot section seems inconsistent with the lead.
 * I can't remember specifically how many, but both the lead and plot says "several" now. Theleftorium (talk) 18:31, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * "The animators found a post card with a picture on it of this horse diving, and they used it as reference while animating the scene of Duncan diving." This doesn't read so well
 * I'm having trouble rewording this. I made a slight change to the sentence, maybe it's better now? If not perhaps you have some suggestion? :) Theleftorium (talk) 18:31, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The "analysis" section is great; adds a scholarly note to what would otherwise be just another episode article. I'm wondering whether "Analysis" is too vague a title, though; how about something like "Self-references"? "Use of metafictional devices"? If you disagree, please do not change it; I'm thinking aloud.
 * Actually that's quite a good idea. I changed it to "Meta-references". Theleftorium (talk) 18:31, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I think the terrible critical reception could be made clearer in the lead; I wouldn't worry about a violation of the NPOV when even the positive critics recognise that the episode "was much despised".
 * I've made some changes. Don't know if it's better though. Theleftorium (talk) 18:31, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Check your formatting on reference 7
 * I've used Template:Cite episode so it should be correct. Technically references are not needed when writing about the plot, but since this was in the production section I added it just in case.
 * Again, thinking aloud, but considering you have some very well-sourced discussion of the metafictional elements of this episode, I wonder if something like Category:Metafictional works may be appropriate. I'm not sure, though.
 * Yep, good idea. Theleftorium (talk) 18:31, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Not a lot to say- another excellent article. J Milburn (talk) 21:47, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! :D Theleftorium (talk) 18:31, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry about this, but I'm going to have limited internet access for a few days. I'll be back with you as soon as possible. J Milburn (talk) 08:33, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * No worries at all, I wasn't expecting a review this fast anyway!
 * Found a few minutes. Looking though again, that footnote is still annoying me, but perfect reference formatting is certainly not a requirement for GA status. This article is very much ready- the fact that this is considered perhaps the worst episode and the fact that it's been mentioned in somewhat scholarly sources really makes it worthwhile. Great work! J Milburn (talk) 21:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much! Theleftorium (talk) 10:00, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Template talk:Welcome and expand

This template
This template really driving me mad. What are parameters to place it in sites?--Juan 17:35, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Over 1 year later: what parameters? It doesn't need any. --McCormack 20:41, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Revising this template in May 2008
I've implemented some rather bold changes to this template today, in the hope of getting some ideas flowing from others. The idea I've had is to turn this template into something that actually helps people develop an educational resource, and additionally to categorise the page rather more thoroughly into clean-up categories. Discussion invited. --McCormack 20:44, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I like the changes; however, I'm wondering whether now it would now be better to use substitution instead of transclusion when using this template? -- Jtneill - Talk 21:14, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Here my initial reaction after using it and being not aware the template was changed: "OMG, what has become of the welcome and expand template ?"
 * After usage, the original 6 lines from the page turned now into a "mountain" full of text/info. This is certainly fine for newcomers to get acquainted here. Perhaps also the red category links did their part in my initial reaction :-C
 * The intention/idea is certainly good, but when I saw how much to do regarding that template, I just did not get motivated (at least at this hour). Let's see when I wake up tomorrow.
 * I would also recommend to use subst from now on. Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 21:27, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I just used it with subst the first time here:
 * the categories are now not included :-(
 * clicked then on the promising "Wikipedia has more about this subject: Statistics 103". But well, there was nothing yet available at WP about Statistics 103 :-( Didn't try the other links, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 21:33, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * How about changing the text from "xyz has ..." to "xyz can have ..." ? And using an expand box to not show all info at once (e.g. from sister project searches WP only and the others in the expand box ?) so it is not such an overwhelming info at first sight ? Turned also redlink-city away :-) Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 22:11, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Some replies
Substitution: I'd recommend not using subst: because the great thing about not using it is that we can retrospectively recategorise the mess on Wikiversity. Instead we should perhaps concentrate on taming my changes until they are more acceptable. --McCormack 04:47, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Categories: yes, I entirely agree with you, Erkan. The interwiki boxes normally create a category link, but this makes no sense on a w&e page where their purpose is merely temporary. I've revised the interwiki boxes so that they have an optional parameter for switching off the category, and I've then revised the w&e template so that it implements these new parameters. --McCormack 05:20, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Rewording the interwiki boxes: yes, I already had this on my workplan as well. I realised as soon as I saw the earlier result of this template that the old wording wasn't suitable. I've reworded them all this morning. Any better? --McCormack 05:21, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Rewording the green boxes: they need this as well. Working on it. --McCormack 05:23, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅. --McCormack 07:29, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Layout issues: thinking about it. --McCormack 05:23, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * OK: after a lot of editing, the original 9 boxes (well, 11 actually) has been cut down to 4 by creating some new multi-purpose project boxes. I've also done some alignment stuff which ensures that the special project boxes are all both top- and bottom-aligned. I think the result is an improvement, but is this enough? --McCormack 06:41, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Where the links go: originally most of the interwiki boxes ran a search, but a few of them, including the Wikipedia one, attempted to link to a precise article instead. After reading Erkan's comment I experimented and found that the search function always produces better results. All boxes now do a search now. --McCormack 05:32, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the fast reaction. When comparing to the last version: it looks now more compact. I like this better. Also I like the rewording in the boxes now with the search: this transmits the user a positive effect (by showing a list of found things, so she is not disappointed when finding nothing and can look further herself). I also agree to Remi, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 07:25, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Uuh? What did Remi say? --McCormack 07:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Dispaly problems
This template displays quite oddly in IE 6. The template text in just the top box is shift over right and down about 150 pixels from where the box is, and a horizontal scroll is created. --Michael Everhart 21:15, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

minimal version
Perhaps for some pages, a smaller template akin to the older one may be more appropriate... --Remi 09:06, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Green box?
What green box? --JWSchmidt 05:04, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Georgios Theocharis (diplomat)

Georgios Theocharis (Γεώργιος Θεοχάρης; 1758–1843) was a Greek merchant and notable figure of the pre Greek Revolution period and a fellow of Rigas Feraios.

Biography
Georgios Theocharis was born in 1758 in Kastoria, then Ottoman Empire. In 1786 he married Austrian Anna Spigel; they had three children: Dimitrios, Nikolaos and Aikaterini. In 1786 he was initiated into Balduin zur Linde of Leipzig, later reaching the Professor's Degree. At the end of 1797 he was arrested with Rigas Feraios but his surrender to the Ottoman authorities was prevented because of his wife's intercession. In 1798 he was exiled from Vienna and later allowed to go to Leipzig. His secret and intimate relationship with Feraios was revealed by the letter Rigas sent him from Trieste, which was signed as "Coleader of the Vienna Group". He supported financially, earnestly and variedly, and through his relations with abroad, the issue and circulation of Feraios' revolutionary proclamation. After Otto's arrival in Greece, Theocharis served as the first consul of the Greek state in Leipzig from 1834 until 1843. He was proclaimed Knight of the Golden Cross of the Order of the Redeemer. He died in 1843 in Leipzig.

USS LST-473

USS LST-473 was a United States Navy LST-1-class tank landing ship used in the Asiatic-Pacific Theater during World War II. As with many of her class, the ship was never named. Instead, she was referred to by her hull designation.

Construction
LST-473 was laid down on 10 July 1942, under Maritime Commission (MARCOM) contract, MC hull 993, by Kaiser Shipyards, Vancouver, Washington; launched 9 December 1942; and commissioned on 16 March 1943.

Service history
During World War II, LST-473 was assigned to the Asiatic-Pacific theater and participated in the following operations: the Lae occupation in September 1943; the Leyte operation in October 1944; the Lingayen Gulf landings in January 1945; the Zambales-Subic Bay operation in January 1945; and the Mindanao Island landings in March 1945.

LST-473 returned to the United States and was decommissioned on 18 March 1946. She was struck from the Navy list on 17 April, that same year. On 21 April 1948, the tank landing ship was sold to Hughes Bros., Inc., New York City, and subsequently scrapped.

Honors and awards
LST-473 earned five battle stars for her service in World War II.

Mitsubishi Mirage Dingo

The Mitsubishi Mirage Dingo is a mini MPV built by Mitsubishi Motors from 1998 to 2003, using a shortened version of the Mirage platform.

Overview
The "Dingo" name is derived from Bingo and its connotations of good fortune, but with the B replaced by D to represent Mitsubishi's Diamond logo. The "Dingo" name also sourced from a wild dog native to Australia, dingo (Canis lupus dingo). In Japan, it was sold at a specific retail chain called Car Plaza. Exterior and Interior is highly similar to Mitsubishi Dion which is an MPV sold in Japan.

As with most direct competitors in the market segment, accommodation is limited to two rows and five seats. The rear bench is split 50-50, with each section able to be slid forwards or backwards individually. Alternatively, folding or detaching the rear chairs provides a large and flat storage area. The rear seats can also be flipped downward to form a pair of beds. Because the gearshift is column-mounted there is no transmission tunnel, thus enabling occupants to walk between front and rear seats.

Initially available with the 4G15 "Orion" 1.5 L GDI powerplant mated to an INVECS-II 4-speed automatic, a smaller 1.3 L version (without GDI) and a larger 4G93 1.8 L version were introduced with a facelift in 2000, as well as Mitsubishi's INVECS-III continuously variable transmission.

Hafei Saima
In China, the Dingo is license-built and marketed as the Hafei Saima from April 2001 to 2014.

Kampot (city)

Kampot (ក្រុងកំពត) is a city in southern Cambodia and the capital of Kampot Province. It is on the Praek Tuek Chhu River, southeast of the Elephant Mountains, and around 5 km from the Gulf of Thailand. Kampot was the capital of the Circonscription Résidentielle de Kampot under French rule and Cambodia's most important seaport after the loss of the Mekong Delta and before the establishment of Sihanoukville. Its center is, unlike most Cambodian provincial capitals, composed of 19th-century French colonial architecture. The region and town are known for high-quality pepper, which is exported worldwide. It is also known for its fish sauce and durian. The government and the Ministry of Culture and Fine Art have been preparing documents to nominate the Old Town of Kampot for admission to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list (along with T the Old Town of Battambang and the Old Town of Kratie), since 2017.

Khmer breach between Siam and Ha-Tien since 1771
The first description of Kampot in the Cambodian Royal Chronicles refers to an event that took place from 1771 to 1775. In 1771, King Taksin of Siam attacked Hà Tiên and destroyed it completely before marching on the Cambodian capital of Oudong.

In an effort to overthrow the Khmer king Outey II, who was allied with the Vietnamese Mac Thien Tu, based in Ha-Tien, the young Khmer prince and future king Ang Non II gathered with Siamese soldiers in Kampot, which he used as a base for his hostilities until obtaining the throne in 1775.

Uprising of Oknha Mau in 1841
In 1841, Oknha-Mau, a Cambodian governor, refused the Vietnamese yoke that had gradually been imposed on Kampot. Supported by Siam, he gathered a military contingent of about 3,000 Cambodians. The Vietnamese fled to Ha-Tien.

First international seaport of Cambodia (1841–1860)
Upon his rise to the throne in 1840, Khmer king Ang Duong constructed a road from his capital of Oudong to Kampot and opened Kampot as the only international seaport of Cambodia. Imports and exports grew quickly in the hands of the Anglo-Chinese merchants of Singapore, turning a neighborhood of the city into "Chinese Kampot". French missionary Father Hestret founded the first Catholic Church in the city at that time and received the visit of French explorer Henri Mouhot.

From French protectorate to insurrection (1863–1886)
Cambodia became a protectorate of France in 1863. King Norodom appointed a Vietnamese as chief of the canton and let him control the village and all Vietnamese people in the province. After this period, Kampot began to decline. The main reason was the opening of Saigon Port, and the exploitation of navigation along the Mekong River by the French.

Resentment grew among the population. An insurrection began on 17 March 1885 at noon, when a band of fifty men sacked the opium entrepôt held by the French. Another band of fifty attacked the telegraph office. The customhouse at the entrance of the river became a fort of insurgents. At the beginning of April, a French aviso, Le Sagittaire, and two junks, appeared at the Kampot anchorage. Tensions escalated as violence broke out throughout the province, with a complex play of alliances and betrayals as well as interference from Chinese pirates. On 8 May 1886, a column of 100 soldiers under Lieutenant de Vaubert departed Kampot. Resident Santenoy also marched with thirty militiamen. After an hour's battle, a Cambodian militiaman of the resident succeeded in penetrating the insurgents' fort, leading to its destruction by French troops and the end of the insurrection.

At the close of 1886, an interview between Norodom and the insurgents was held at Thnol Bek Kus, halfway between Phnom Penh and Kampot, and peace was accomplished.

French colony (1889–1940)
Under 19th-century French colonial administration, Kampot became a regional administrative centre with the status of a state border district as a result of the delimitation of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The Circonscription Résidentielle de Kampot contained the arrondissements of Kampot, Kompong-Som, Trang, and Kong-Pisey.

In 1889, the French colonial census reported a multi-ethnic community: Kampot town consisted of "Cambodian Kampot" on the Prek-Kampot River and "Chinese Kampot" on the right riverbank of the west branch of the Prek-Thom River. Nearby was also a Vietnamese village, called Tien-Thanh, and another Vietnamese village on Traeuy Koh Island. A Malay enclave also existed on Traeuy Koh Island. Additional villages of mixed ethnicity are listed.

The Chinese population grew steadily, benefiting from pepper cultivation and contributing to the town's economy.

Khmer Rouge
Kampot became the stage to a major battle of the Vietnam War, also a part of the Cambodian Civil War. From 26 February to 2 April 1974, Cambodian government troops battled Khmer Rouge guerillas for control of Kampot city. Despite the Cambodian army's heavy resistance, the Khmer Rouge eventually captured the city on 2 April. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and many civilians were rendered homeless.

Contemporary history
Since the 2010s, Kampot has seen an increase in tourism, with the development of a port worth US$8 million under the Kampot Provincial Tourism Department's master plan, set to be completed by 2022. This includes the construction of a 42-story multipurpose twin tower set to be the tallest building in Cambodia outside Phnom Penh when completed; widening and improvements to National Road No. 3; and a seaport carrying passengers to and from nearby Cambodian islands, Thailand, and Vietnam, with the capacity of housing up to 400 passengers. The development has raised concern regarding the impact to colonial buildings that would be demolished to make way for modern infrastructure, the rising price of property, and the destruction of forests. A petition was launched by residents of Kampot, demanding Prime Minister Hun Sen and King Norodom Sihamoni to modify the project toward more heritage-friendly structures and to move the construction of highrise buildings away from Old Town. As of January 2021, it had received 1,239 signatures.

In connection with the Belt and Road Initiative, in May 2022, Shanghai Construction Company and the China Road and Bridge Corporation began developing a Kampot port complex, special economic zone, and related housing and green space.

Demographics
According to the 2012 census, the population of the municipality of Kampot is 49,597. Historically, there has been a noteworthy presence of Cambodians of Chinese descent in Kampot. Recent years have seen an inflow of Europeans, Vietnamese, and Chinese. A significant part of the population is Cham, a minority Muslim group. The Sa'och tribe, an ancient population group in the province, is on the brink of extinction, however.

Administration
The municipality of Kampot is located in Kampot province and is divided into 15 villages and 5 sangkats, which are:
 * Kampong Kandal Sangkat
 * Krang Ampil
 * Kampong Bay
 * Andong Khmer
 * Traeuy Kaoh

Crime and security
Whilst Kampot is considered largely safe, the city has seen a rise in crime against tourists and foreign residents in the 2010s. Despite efforts to provide better security and policing, local authorities have been criticized for their response to a number of high-profile serious crimes, including rapes and murders, that were dealt with poorly. As in neighbouring Sihanoukville, police in Kampot have been accused of corruption, drug trafficking and drug use, and links to organized crime. Some members of Kampot's expatriate community have also faced criticism for alleged attempts to censor, cover up, and control any negative news or reviews about the city, its businesses, and inhabitants, especially on social media groups and pages.

Horseback Trail Riding in Vancouver Area Parks
Wheher you are a visitor or live in the Vancouver area, Horseback trail riding is abundant in the Greater Vancouver Regional District and Fraser Valley. One just has to know where to go or who to ride with. All trails are available for public riding and most have trailer parking available, though some may be limited in size.

For visitors to the Vancouver area looking for things to do in Vancouver Equutrails Horseback Riding Adventures was established (2008) to provide guided horseback riding in parks around the greater Vancouver regional area. Guided trail riding is provided at Buntzen Lake, Pitt Lake and Golden Ears Provincial Park. Special arrangements can be made for group tours at Pacific Spirit Park located in Vancouver near UBC.

Buntzen Lake Trail Riding
The closest public horseback riding available from Vancouver is Buntzen Lake. It is located approximately 90 minutes from Vancouver at the village of Anmore, BC. Buntzen Lake is accessible by public transit. If you are trailering your own horses, or driving in to meet your guide, the Equestrian Overflow parking is located 1 km from the park entrance on the left hand side. Parking is on a first-come basis only. When parking lots are full the entrance gates will be closed for the day so go early - usually by 8:00 am. No re-entry is permitted.

For visitors riding with a trail operator, and will be using public transit, the C26 bus operates from Coquitlam Centre to Buntzen Lake daily. Normally this bus stops at the turnaround before the recreation area entrance gate across from the corner store. Take the Admiral trail straight through. It is a 1.5 kilometre or 15 to 20 minute walk to Equestrian Overflow Parking.

Golden Ears Provincial Park Trail Riding
Golden Ears is located approximate 90 minutes from Vancouver, making it an easy and popular park to horseback in. Access to the park is by car. For those coming from Vancouver, travel the short distance east to Maple Ridge (located on the north side of the Fraser River) along Highway 7. Turn left at Golden Ears Way exit and left at the lights. Follow to 232nd St and turn left. Follow to Fern Cresent where you will turn right. The park is just 4 km from the intersection of Fern Cresent and 232nd St. Coming from elsewhere in BC, travellers should head west towards Vancouver, follow signs to Maple Ridge and continue from there as described above.

As one of the largest parks in the province, Golden Ears Provincial Park is prized for its recreational opportunities. The extensive system of trails within the park provides good opportunity for hiking and horseback riding. The vegetation is typical of the coastal western Hemlock forest of BC and the mountainous trail riding can be rugged.

There is an extensive network of over 20 kilometres of gravel/dirt horseback riding trails in the park. The Main Horse Corral is located approximately .5 kilometers inside the main park gates on the left hand side direcly across from the Information booth. Riders can gain access to Aloutte trail, Mike Lake trail and Maple Ridge Trails from here. Equutrails rides primarily from the Main Horse Corral though meeting points may change depending on the route chosen.

From the Mike Lake road, trail riders can connect to the Menzies Trail to the Lookout Point and past the waterfalls and head towards the West Canyon and on to the Gold Creek area or loop down the Lookout Trail and connect back to the Alouette trail on the other side of the road. Depending on the speed of your trail ride, expect a 6-8 hour day of riding if you intend to ride from the Main Horse Corral to Gold Creek and back. It takes approximately 4 - 4.5 hours to ride to Aloutte Lake then retrace to the Lookout Trail and down Menzies to Mike Lake Road. You can return using the lower Aloutte Trail or head up the road and take the Mike Lake Trail to return to the Main Horse Corral.

Day-use stopover is permitted at the South Beach corral area, but horses must remain within the corral or on a designated horse trail.

Camping with horses is permitted in the designated camping area on the East Canyon Trail, approximately 5km north of Gold Creek parking lot.

Pitt Lake Trail Riding
Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. It is about 53.5 square kilometres in area - about 25 km long and about 4.5 km wide at its widest. It is also one of the world's largest tidal lakes. The park entrance, is 40 km east of Downtown Vancouver.

Trail riding in this area is easy and on flat soft footing for most of the route. The trails are all out in the open so be prepared for the weather rain or shine.

From the parking lot trail riders can head west along Pitt River or go east past the boat launch and up the community road to turn south on at the estuary trails. To do a 1/2 day ride continue along the trail and turn down left at the lookout. Follow it to the gravel road and take that straight to Neaves Road where riders will have cross the road. If the gates are closed the walk around can be a bit tricky so dismounting is recommended. Once on the trail on the other side, you ride up to Pitt River and turn right to head back to the lake.

Visitors can join Equutrails on this easy and very scenic 1/2 day ride.

The 2013 IAM Cycling season was the first season of the team, which was founded at the end of 2012. The team competed on the UCI Professional Continental level. They began the season on 27 January at the Grand Prix d'Ouverture La Marseillaise, and finished in October at the 2013 Giro di Lombardia. The team participated in UCI Continental Circuits and UCI World Tour events when given a wildcard invitation.

Pre-season

Team roster
Ages as of January 1, 2013

Spring classics
The teams first ever race was the Grand Prix d'Ouverture La Marseillaise on 27 January, where Wyss and Brändle both finished with the bunch. At the 1.2 race Tour de Berne IAM had five people in the top ten, with Marcel Wyss winning the race 13 seconds ahead of Sébastien Reichenbach and 15 seconds ahead of Rémi Cusin and Matthias Brändle. Reto Hollenstein finished sixth.

MechWarrior Tactics

MechWarrior Tactics was a free-to-play turn-based tactics video game set in the BattleTech universe. It was originally under development by Roadhouse Interactive and A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. Games, but was taken over by Blue Lizard Games and published by Infinite Game Publishing for the Unity Web Player platform. The game remained in closed beta for two years, with Founder Packs allowing players to purchase instant access, but development has been on hold since of end of 2013 and the game's website has been unavailable since the end of August 2014.

Gameplay
The game pitted two players against each other in an online turn-based match. The turn-based combat was presented via an isometric 3D perspective, with the play area divided into a hexagonal grid. Each player had control of four individual BattleMechs, to which they issue separate movement and combat commands which are not seen by their opponent. Moving the 'Mechs into certain tiles that represent forests, hills, or bodies of water grants combat advantages and disadvantages, making the skillful maneuvering of units a major aspect of the game. Likewise, the combat itself offered several tactical options, including the targeting of specific sub-sections of an enemy unit, and balancing overheating of weapons with their cool-down period. Once both players finished inputting their movement and combat orders, the action played out on both players' screens simultaneously, showing the results of their actions for that turn. The turns continued in this fashion until one player loses all their 'Mechs.

A major inspiration for the game was the BattleTech Collectible Card Game. Most items available to the player were represented in the form of virtual cards, including the 'Mechs themselves, their individual weapons, upgrades, and pilots. These cards could be purchased with real money or acquired through gameplay progression by using in-game currency. Customization performed on a particular 'Mech was intended to carry over into future games, giving players an incentive to invest in their card collections for the long haul rather than building up an arsenal for one specific match.

The entire game was played inside a web browser window and did not require any additional downloads whilst still available to play.

Controversy and publisher bankruptcy
In late August 2014, Blue Lizard Games (cited on the game's website as its present developer) has stated the company had no involvement with MechWarrior Tactics' development since December 2013: "unfortunately our development contract on MWT was cancelled in December last year. Please contact IGP for updates."

Since August 28, 2014 the official website's main page was with no prior warning replaced with a customized Cloudflare HTTP 500 error page stating the website is unavailable due to a 72-hour "extended maintenance" window due to a hardware upgrade.

This led players to attempt contact with IGP in order to demand status updates on the game or request refunds on their Founder Program payments.

Throughout 2013 and 2014 IGP has continued selling Founder Program packages and marketing the game as under development and scheduled for Open Beta "later this year".

Due to these practices continuing in absence of development progress, accusations of scam have been directed at IGP. The discovery that a major portion of the company employees have left their employ has also prompted theories that Infinite Games Publishing may be shutting down.

As of September 18, members of the game's fanbase have managed to obtain a response from Infinite Games Publishing through the company's former CEO Kelly Zmak, stating the game "will be offline for a while longer" but it is not cancelled and "IGP is seeking a new partner/developer and a new hosting location for the game", although with no definite timeline. As of September 20, the message on the game's website has been updated to reflect that statement.

As of early December 2014, the rights to the game were placed on sale as part of bankruptcy proceedings initiated on October 1 and were sold to an unknown buyer.

Cookbook talk:Vegan Cuisine

Moved from the module namespace:

Also check out the VeganWiki (in German). If you're interested in cooperating for a multilingual VeganWiki, please get in touch with us.

 * Yes, lets make a multilingual VeganWiki. Set it up, post the link here, and we will grow something amazing together.

end moved text

 * Hmmm... as links seem not to be too welcome here, could you contact us on http://de.veganwiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/VeganWikiWelcome ??

Thanks nevertheless for giving us room and space to network at least on this discussion site :/ -- Tim

 * Sorry, didn't mean to seem unfriendly, but we're pretty consistent that discussions about pages belong in the Talk: namespace, and this was starting to become a discussion. I'll go back and put an external links section on the module, and include a link to the VeganWiki.  Thanks. Gentgeen 07:47, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks :) I now added the Cookbook:VeganCuisine as InterWiki in the German language VeganWiki. Perhaps we could add the VeganWiki to this one as well and translate and interlink recipes... -- DeVeganWiki:Tim

We could set up an English VeganWiki on en.veganwiki.org. Check out http://veganwiki.org/ if you're interested... thanxxxx! Tim

Mshonle -- thanks for the correction re:replacements v. substitutions. Kellen

Policy for denoting vegan recipes
I would like to propose a policy for denoting vegan recipes. When a recipe is normally vegan, as in soy milk, only its name should be listed. When the vegan recipe is a special case of another recipe, as in vegan brownies, the recipe name should be listed, with "vegan" in parentheses. Like so: This is in preference to "vegan recipename," since it will assist in indexing and categorization in the cookbook project as a whole. I think.
 * Soy Milk
 * Brownies (Vegan)

Kellen
 * Sounds good to me. MShonle 20:35, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * I like it. Gentgeen 15:47, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Most of the recipes I have are normal recipes, to which I add vegan variations. Mostly I do this because the original recipe wasn't vegan and it's farily trivial to interchange the ingredients, but I want to make an explicit note that doing it with vegan products works. With respect to the Cookbook:Recipes listing, how do people think I should denote these: I am undecided on this, but I'm leaning towards the 3rd since it's not a proper vegan recipe. Kellen 01:11, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Cardamom Bread
 * 2) Cardamom Bread (vegan)
 * 3) Cardamom Bread (with vegan variation)

this page should be split
Part of the page is about the special diet. Part of the page is a list of recipes.

This page could be split into Vegan_Recipes and Vegan_Diet. --(anon did not sign)

I very much agree. It's a little long and unruly. --<IP_ADDRESS> 03:01, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

I suggest Cookbook:Vegan_Recipes and Cookbook:Vegan_Substitutions for the names. AlbertCahalan 03:25, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Agreed. I'll do it. Kellen 17:40, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

category link problem
I made a few changes, including trying to make a link to Category:Vegan_recipes, since that's where the recipes are. But it wasn't working for some very odd reason -- the links & linked text simply wouldn't show up at all when I saved, and aren't even now -- hence the full URL on the link on the third bullet, for the time being. (I tried other category pages and they wouldn't work either.) Zach 22:28, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * You make a link to a category like this Category:Category name, which results in this Category:Category name. Gentgeen 22:30, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

advertising
G'day all,

I removed a bunch of links to specific forms of vegan cheese and milk. I really think if we are going to mention specfic brands then we should do it in a table sinilar to the ones on wikipedia comparing different software and the like. We HAVE to stay NPOV, so we cant go around advertising this or that brand.

It is open to manipulation by companies, and it is also not international, since most of the linked brands are only avaliable in one or two countries. The bellman 13:02, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * (duplicate of what I put on your talk page:) I added most of those companies (some while not logged in) for the express purpose of people being able to find vegan products. These could perhaps be split off to another page, but I think it's unreasonable to eliminate them. Vegan substitute products are difficult to find and it's even more difficult to find good ones. I am curious about your thoughts on this. Kellen 17:07, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * expanding on this: I think that having links to specific products (especially "basic" ones) is important with respect to veganism. Many of these basic things are prohibitively difficult, specialized, or time consuming to prepare (vegan cheese, for example) and it's unreasonable to just note that they exist without providing possibilities for people to find them (vegan substitutes like this are notoriously hard to get a hold of). I do agree that these are country specific, even region-specific, but I don't think there's a solution for this except maybe to denote that they are indeed region specific.
 * With respect to NPOV, I think that the difficulty in finding certain replacements trumps the "neutrality" of a non-mention. I'd like to see this software comparison table you're referring to, as this could satisfy both of our desires here. Kellen 17:16, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Interwiki Link
Hi there, the link to german wikibooks is a almost dead end- it should go straight to https://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Kochbuch/_Vegetarische_und_Vegane_Ern%C3%A4hrung - would someone fix that, please?

kind regards, Sujalajus (discuss • contribs) 19:05, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Crudevegan, Multicooker and WikiProject
BoldLuis (discuss • contribs) 08:26, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Akhtar Hameed Khan

Facts About the Comilla Model
Akhter Hameed Khan wrote (with much public angst) much in the 1970s about problems with the Comilla Model, which was unravelling in front of his eyes and eventually collapsed altogether. This article has suggested that the Model was a great success in microfinance. I have made some corrections in fact, inserting some of Khan's quotations (and the quotations of other observers) related to this matter and the true significance of the Comilla Model.

The Comilla Model, and Dr. Khan's contributions by pioneering it, were significant, but mainly for the negative reason that its failure turned microfinance practitioners in Bangladesh (including Dr. Yunus) off the cooperative model and towards a much more centralized microcredit delivery structure for 30 years. Dr. Khan was a fine leader and the vision behind Comilla has not died, but this should not obscure the facts. Hopefully these correction will help take this article another step towards 'FA'. Brett epic 04:00, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * One of the reasons this article lost GA is that over the time many insertions were made without any care to the section contexts or MoS. NPOV is welcome, but your recent insert copies half of preceding para plus cit. Pls see if you can improve it, while I rework the article. -- Isles CapeTalk 11:16, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

 * There is nothing here I wish to improve. It is not a recent insertion; it was written last year and summarizes the results of major revisions to Comilla Model I researched and wrote last summer.  The passage vanished a couple of days ago; you gave no indication of why you removed it.  Since it is important, factually accurate and essential to the balance of the article -- and probably too to the prospects of this becoming GA again and even FA later -- I have reinserted it.Brett epic (talk) 10:26, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Sort key? (and name?)
I shortened "Akhtar Hameed Khan" to "Khan" throughout the article, except (of course) in the lead sentence and in publications about Khan. This had already been done to some extent by other editors; I just made it consistent throughout the article. So the puzzle: why is the sort key, for categories in the article, this:

rather than this:

?

-- John Broughton (♫♫) 15:47, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Comilla Model, Revisited
Why would an editor whitewash this article, and distort NPOV, by removing evidence of the fact that the cooperatives formed by Khan under the Comilla project failed? Khan acknowledges this failure openly in his own writing, and it is very evidently the case on the ground in Bangladesh today. This fact is no embarrassment to Khan; he was fine practitioner in spite of it, and the legacy of learning from the Comilla movement is a lesson in agricultural microfinance for the world as a whole and the cooperative movement in particular. But to describe the cooperatives as 'successful' as was done by the same editor, is simply inaccurate. It is also an affront to the reputation of successful cooperative movements around the globe. If the editor would like to know more, please refer to the article Comilla Model.Brett epic (talk) 06:54, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

GA
I've moved the GA-relatd review comments from the talk page to GA1 and GA2, respectively, for archiving. Dr. Cash (talk) 16:49, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Copyedit
I've just completed a thorough copyedit of this page following a request from one of the editors on my talk page. A few things to note: -- TinaSparkle (talk) 21:02, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia house style recommends that we don't include titles, such as "Dr Akhtar Hameed Khan". It is evident from the article that Khan had a doctorate.
 * Don't include personal observations in the article, such as noting that "despite the shock" of his mother's death Khan continued his studies, or noting that his mother was a "sympathetic person". I am sure she was, but that is a subjective judgement and not appropriate in an encyclopedia. It's also worth keeping in mind Wikipedia's policy on maintaining a neutral point of view.
 * Articles ("a"/"an" and "the") help readers make sense of written English. Please use them where appropriate. This Wikipedia page may help if you're not sure of the grammatical rules. Or, for a clearer explanation, look it up in a copy of Fowler's A Dictionary of Modern English Usage.
 * Try to be consistent about spellings within articles: e.g. it is fine to have "programme" or "program", but not both. I've attempted to standardise the spellings in the article to standard British English, which seems more appropriate for British India/Pakistan during Khan's lifetime.
 * This is a very informative article. Congratulations all!
 * Great work Tina. -- Isles CapeTalk 13:53, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Proposal to remove date-autoformatting
Dear fellow contributors

MOSNUM no longer encourages date autoformatting, having evolved over the past year or so from the mandatory to the optional after much discussion there and elsewhere of the disadvantages of the system. Related to this, MOSNUM prescribes rules for the raw formatting, irrespective of whether or not dates are autoformatted. MOSLINK and CONTEXT are consistent with this.

There are at least six disadvantages in using date-autoformatting, which I've capped here:

Removal has generally been met with positive responses by editors. I'm seeking feedback about this proposal to remove it from the main text (using a script) in about a week's time on a trial basis/ The original input formatting would be seen by all WPians, not just the huge number of visitors; it would be plain, unobtrusive text, which would give greater prominence to the high-value links. Tony  (talk)  09:11, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Image
Has anyone tried to get a free image of this person? I'm not saying an article shouldn't be featured if a free image can't be found, but perhaps there should have been some attempt to find one? I upload a lot of fair use photos myself and think it's more important to get a photo first and then worry about trying to hunt down a free one later, but I think featured articles should at least be using a photo that we know the author of. Richard001 (talk) 06:42, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Nasim Yousaf
Nasim Yousaf is a non-notable academic and a close relative of Khan. He has written extensively about his grandfather and uncle, although he appears to have no formal training in history etc, his books are effectively self-published and his real life occupation is as an exporter of textiles. We need to be very, very careful about using him here as (perhaps unsuprisingly) his research is not great and he adopts a highly hagiographic position. There are also various IPs and registered users here who are most probably meats or socks of him - I am attempting to formulate an SPI for this but the intermittent nature of their edits makes it somewhat awkward. - Sitush (talk) 06:08, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Featured status
As mentioned above, the article is largely sourced to Yousaf's self-published biography, which does not appear to meet featured article criterion 1c for "high-quality reliable sources" because it contravenes Verifiability. On minor notes, a short section like Death should be merged to comply with criteria 1a (prose) and 2b (structure) and the article text should not contain external jumps such as those in the Legacy section. DrKay (talk) 11:53, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Unsourced quotation removed
An IP today turned a sentence of the lead section into a quotation but did not provide a proper citation to the source. I have just removed that sentence because (a) it is unsourced and (b) if it is indeed a quotation then it is likely to be a copyright violation without full sourcing. I've no idea whether the IP was correct to turn the thing into a quote or not, sorry. - Sitush (talk) 07:59, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

St Mary's Street drill hall, Huntingdon

The St Mary's Street drill hall is a former military installation in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.

History
The building was designed as the headquarters of the 1st Huntingdonshire Rifle Volunteer Corps and completed in the late 19th century. The unit evolved to become the 4th Volunteer Battalion, The Bedfordshire Regiment in 1900. The presence at the drill hall was reduced to a single company, H Company, 5th Battalion, The Bedfordshire Regiment in 1908 but restored to a full battalion when the Huntingdonshire Cyclist Battalion was formed in February 1914. The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 but remained in the United Kingdom throughout the First World War. The battalion was disbanded at the end of the War and the drill hall was subsequently decommissioned and converted for retail use.

Compiler Construction/Run-time Considerations

Storage Management - Garbage Collector
In computing there are new tools that are waiting to emerge when developers can find the technology capable of supporting them. One good example is that 50 years ago John L. McCarthy came up with an idea to automatically reclaim the memory of objects that are no longer needed during the execution of Lisp programs. It was the origin of the garbage collection concept in computer science.

One of the tasks performed at runtime--as the compiled program is run by the user--is the management of allocated memory blocks, so as to minimize memory usage by deallocating blocks that will no longer be used. This is referred to as "garbage collection." Garbage collection is not available in all languages and compilers, but it is implemented in many of the most widely used. It takes much of the burden of memory management off of the programmer--when implemented correctly--and improves performance.

Ideally, garbage collectors (hereinafter GC) would remove every allocation that will never be used again. In practice, we can assume that if there is any way to reference to a block, it can be used again; if not, it would not be used (except accidentally). So GC works by retaining memory blocks that can be reachable by tracing every reference path at a moment and freeing the rest. For example,

function concat (string1, string2) {  new_string = alloc (string1.length + string2.length); copy (string1, new_string); copy (string2, new_string + string1.length); return new_string; }

This function returns a newly allocated memory block that is the concatenation of given two strings. Because the function only returns a new string and does not know how it is going to be used, it is the caller of this function that is responsible for freeing it, like:

var old = null var string = 'Writing compilers is ' if you have not finished this book { string := concat (string, 'anything but ') old := string } string := concat (string, 'fun!') if old != null { free (old) }

By letting GC free memory blocks when needed, the above can be simplified to:

string = 'Writing compilers is ' if you have not finished this book { string := concat (string, 'anything but ') } string := concat (string, 'fun!')

In practice, an execution path and reference dependencies can be far more complicated than the above; thus, it should be easy to imagine how GC would be a great help.

Brief History of Garbage Collection
In the Beginning, there was Static Allocation, and for a Time, it was Good. FORTRAN, circa the mid-1950's, had no garbage collection at all. Once a block of memory was allocated, it stayed allocated. The programmer could not deallocate it, even if he tried.

Circa 1958, Algol implemented a form of memory management called stack allocation. Following that, languages like C implemented heap allocation, which allows the programmer to arbitrarily allocate and de-allocate memory from the heap of available memory. In C, this is done with the call. While this allows very flexible memory allocation and de-allocation by the programmer, careless (mis)use often results in memory leaks and dangling pointers; programmer errors are not handled by the compiler or runtime environment.

In order to overcome the barriers of programmer error, we must either better instruct our programmers, or provide better systems for memory management. The string of non-accredited technical institutes that seem to have sprung up in the United States obviously do nothing to solve the former problem, so it is up to us to approach the latter.

Implementing Garbage Collection
There are two basic approaches to garbage collection: reference counting and batching (or tracing).

Reference Counting
In reference counting, a reference counter is associated with every allocated object. Whenever a reference is made to that object, the counter is incremented. When one dereferences that object, the counter is decremented. When the counter reaches 0, there are no existing references to this allocated object, so it can be safely removed (because there is no way for it to be accessed in the future).

When an object O is created, we also create a reference counter for O, calling it. At creation,. When we create a reference to O, we perform. When we destroy a reference to O,. When we decrement, we check to see if the counter is now 0. If it is, we free O.

To allow allocation of memory, we maintain a list of free memory blocks. When we allocate blocks, we remove them from the free list. When we deallocate, we add them to the list. Obviously, a major drawback of this method of allocation is fragmentation; having to defragment memory to allow allocation in the requested size can create inexplicable slowdowns for memory allocation. To prevent this, one can defragment the memory at some set interval, or perform more complex deallocation to keep memory contiguous, but the solution to this problem is likely to be non-trivial.

Reference counting has the primary advantages of being simple to implement, requiring no work at an interval, and thus avoiding the necessity to pause the current operating to sort out our garbage collection (which can lead to highly inexplicable pauses during seemingly ordinary operation).

However, reference counting has a number of severe limitations, namely it's inability to detect cyclical pointers (e.g. A references B and B references A, in which case neither A nor B will ever be collected), it's cost to pointer operations and use of space, and it's computational cost to allocation as a result of fragmentation. Some of these problems have solutions in the form of augmented reference counting, but some are best solved by using a different form of garbage collection.

Batching/Tracing
In batching, the heap is viewed as a directed graph, with pointers as edges between allocated space (which we view as nodes in the graph). To do garbage collection, we traverse the graph and mark each node we reach. If a node is not marked, it cannot be reached and can be safely deallocated.

Unlike reference counting, this method must be run at a specific time (reference counting, of course, is performed as a feature of ordinary allocation and deallocation). Garbage collection--when it must be performed at a specific time rather than simply as the program runs, as with reference counting--can be performed when storage is exhausted, before a segment of code that needs to run quickly is executed, or simply during idle time when there's nothing for the computer to do. The best way depends somewhat on the type of program running; for example, in Microsoft Word, there is enough idle time (while the user sits thinking up funny parenthetical statements) that the third option is best. On a real-time system, however, it might be better to do garbage collection always before certain code runs.

Batching relies on accurate identification of memory pointers. There are a number of issues here; something that appears to be an integer may be a pointer, while something that appears to be a pointer may not be. A language could be designed specifically to avoid this confusion, but many popular languages, such as C and C++, are not designed in such a way. The compiler could mark at compile-time as pointers anything used as a pointer, but again this requires extra overhead. Some of the same methodology could be applied at runtime, but with additional runtime costs. Regardless of how this is done, however, it is important to be conservative with pointer identification. When it doubt, it is best to assume something is a pointer than is not. After all, it is far better to have extra un-collected garbage than to eliminate blocks that will later be used.

Bob Davenport (gridiron football)

Bob Davenport (born April 30, 1933) is an American former football player and coach. Davenport was raised in Long Beach, California, and played college football at the fullback position for the UCLA Bruins football team. He was selected by the Football Writers Association of America as a first-team player on its 1954 College Football All-America Team.

Davenport declined an offer from the Cleveland Browns as they held Sunday sporting events that contradicted his Christian commitment to observing the Lord's Day. He instead played professionally with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Western Interprovincial Football Union—a forerunner of the Canadian Football League (CFL)—in 1956 and 1957.

He served as the head football coach at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana from 1957 to 1966, compiling a record of 53–41–3.

Davenport later became a competitive cycler.

Davenport passed away on July 3, 2024.

Constraint satisfaction

Constraint satisfaction is the group of problems in which finding the solution involves discovering a suitable group of parameters such that the that result falls with some pre-defined boundaries. Many real-world problems can be described as constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). Engineering is a CSP where an object must be specified with a certain cost that performs a given task. Airline routing is a CSP where cost and customer satisfaction are constraints. Coloring a map using a limited number of colors is a CSP. Designing software can even be described as a CSP where program size, memory usage, cost to produce, the average time it takes a user to complete a task etc. are constraints.

Many NP-complete problems are constraint satisfaction problems (e.g. boolean satisfiability where a set of input truth values must be found that causes a statement of propositional logic to be true). Because the consensus is that NP-complete problems are intractable (cannot be solved on a computer in time polynomial to the size of the problem), even with quantum computing, it is likely that in general constraint satisfaction problems cannot be solved perfectly. Because of the importance of CSPs in the real world, and the difficulty in solving them, developing algorithms to efficiently solve CSPs is an important field. Algorithms can be designed that attempt to find a perfect solution in the smallest amount of time, or find the best possible solution given limited time. --ChronicElement 23:30, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

What You Should Know About Medicines/Antipyretic

Antipyretic is medication used to lower body temperature when a fever is present.

Examples: Aspirin, acetaminophen/paracetamol (Tylenol), ibuprofen, and others.

Clinicians practicing allopathic medicine (the predominant form of medicine practiced in the US by MD's, DO's, etc) see tremendous value in the reduction of a patient's temperature when it is over 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Body temperatures higher than that will likely cause aching of muscles, increased metabolism, lack of appetite, inability to ingest enough liquids, etc./ A fever higher than 104 degrees in a child may cause seizure activity, which can lead to death. Prolonged fever higher than 105 can cause permanent brain damage or death.

Many people try to bring their temperature down without the use of medications. Within limits, this is worth trying. Things that are dangerous include: using alcohol on the skin (which causes a cool sensation, but closes the blood vessels that are close to the skin, thereby actually raising body temperature); use of ice, which may also close the blood vessels on the skin, making things worse. The best way to start lowering temperature is to take off most clothing and dampen the skin with water that is neither hot nor cold, usually called "tepid". As it evaporates, it takes a lot of heat away from the skin.

Children under 12 should not be given Aspirin if there is any possibility of Chicken pox, as there can result a more serious illness. (See /Reye's Syndrome/ ) Tylenol can alternate every 2 hours with ibuprofen if necessary, but as noted above, keeping the child in normal bedclothes, or under blankets while feverish, will only maintain the high temperature and work against the medication.

People who practice homeopathic medicine believe the body's response with a fever is somehow helping the patient overcome the illness. This is not the predominant view in the world.
