List of school disciplinary actions (US or otherwise) deemed excessive in the media
After reading the story of this young fellow apparently attempting to misuse the powers of Mordor and Morgoth, I got to wondering whether there was a resource anywhere listing other school disciplinary actions that the media deemed excessive (I do as well. But I'm trying to keep my opinion out of my initial question). So, anything like this? Say a webpage or a recap article?

 * One of the caveats when dealing with stories like this is that the media often gets it fantastically wrong. I don't know the full story behind the LotR suspension story, but it is quite possible that the media has messed it up in some way just to make a sensational story.  Consider a parallel (made up, but still realistic) example: A student brings a bong he made at home using Lego blocks into school, and slips off to the bathroom to smoke some weed.  The school finds him out, and suspends him, and the papers write the story as "School suspends students for bringing Legos to school".  That sort of thing happens with alarming frequency.  Which is not to say that school administrations are not also capable of making some really bad decisions, but it is not uncommon that sensationalized news stories are written in such a way as to generate click-thrus, and not as a dispassionate and complete report on a particular event.  The reporting of a type of event in the popular media is not an accurate representation of how things are really happening.  What you want is actual statistics of school discipline, which is a matter of public record, usually.  For example, here is the actual data from Texas, the location of the story you cite above.  I would go to dispassionately reported data like that to extract some meaning behind school discipline, and whether or not it is truly "excessive" than isolated, and probably inaccurate, reports from media outlets whose motivation is questionable.  -- Jayron 32 14:55, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Teenage and young parenthood
Often during the week time I see an abundance of very young mums with pushchairs and kids in my town centre. To me it seems like these individuals are outside a certain section of society that I relate to.

So my question is, what is the consequence of so many young mums here in the U.K. what effect does it have on society, does young parenthood create a ghetto effect where subsequent generations also procreate young creating and are locked into a cycle of deprivation.

And correct me if I'm wroung, but it seems like women who procreate later in life after having pursued a career and or education seem to be much more capable and happier parents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:06, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

 * There's a lot written about this topic, but no simple easy answers. It is true that a woman's age at first motherhood (that's a key term) tends to increase with her education. No comment on whether that makes her a happier mother. Here's a few web links about advanced age at motherhood.
 * On WP, we have articles on advanced maternal age and teenage pregnancy. There are many academic papers listed on google scholar when I search for /age at first motherhood/ -  There probably things written specifically to the UK, but the worldwide trend in western developed countries seem to be increasing age at motherhood, not decreasing. SemanticMantis (talk) 14:34, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

 * It's worth mentioning that childbirth is generally easier and safer (for both mother and child) for younger mothers. We evolved for women to give birth soon after their first menses...which is younger than it's legal to have sex in most countries.  Having a baby in your late 30's is less safe - and the risks pile up rapidly and steeply over that decade.   Societal norms often clash with biology...and biology seldom wins.  But in a modern world where education takes up so much of our youth, having a child earlier than about 20 to 22 can certainly impact your education, resulting in worse life-outcomes.

 * There are other, less tangiable differences. Parents who have children as teenagers have a much smaller age difference with their children through later life than people who have kids in their 30's.  The generation gap is smaller, they understand each other better.   Also, the later you have children, the younger they will be when you die.  Children still need the life-skills and wisdom of their parents when they are in their 20's because their brains are still developing then.  If their parents are still in their prime - they will do better in the world.  Raising kids is tough - and being young when you do it means that you have more energy - and that's no small matter either.  On the other hand, older people are generally more financially stable - which could mean that they are better off and have the money it takes to bring up a child with every need taken care of...or it could mean that they are stuck in a crappy job or are unemployed and never likely to recover...which would be bad.

 * It's a complex equation - which makes it dangerous to rush to conclusions in this regard.

 * SteveBaker (talk) 15:05, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Probably also worth pointing out our article menarche, and noting that age of first menses is decreasing over the past 50-100 years. The reasons aren't entirely clear, and we also don't know with much certainty at what age menarche usually occurred in our deep evolutionary past. More coverage and refs here.

When I was in high school it was common to become a "welfare mother." There were many newsreports at the time of "welfare queens" taking advantage of the new welfare system. Of course, teen moms wee uncommon when my mom was young and they ran off to get illegal, dangerous abortions. Raquel Baranow (talk) 15:21, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Heres the BBC pointing out that the rate of teenage motherhood isn't very high and is falling. Of course it's higher in some places than in others. And in the middle of the day, when most young people are at work or studying, the young mothers gather together in public places, and take up room with their pushchairs, so they are noticeable. When is the best time to have a baby and pursue your career? Either early or late, is the best answer. Say a girl has good A Levels but has a baby at 18, either staying with her partner or not, then when the child is five, she is still only 23, can go to university then, and be only a few years behind in her career. She might even try to go to university while the baby is still young. But if she takes a more standard career path, it might not be until she reaches 30 that she has a career that she can take maternity leave from, a steady relationship/marriage, buying a property. Is there a pattern where the children of young mothers are also likely to become pregnant young? Probably, but it isn't set in stone.Itsmejudith (talk) 20:39, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * That's true in the United States, and in much of the developed world as well; unwanted teenage pregnancy reached a peak in the early 1990s and has taken a steady decline since then. -- Jayron 32 10:45, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * To the OP, are you certain these women are all the children's mothers? Could they not be au pairs, nannys, babysitters or some other such caregiver?  → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 11:12, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

 * The opposite seems to be worrying the health professionals in the UK: see "The president of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists [has] warned against the pronounced trend towards older motherhood..."  Alansplodge (talk) 19:37, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

What does this road sign mean?
I came across this road sign in South Africa, what does it mean? --Myefloewer (talk) 17:39, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * It means if you turn left, there's a big tree and two kids standing underneath it. nm. A small joke.  It looks like a tourism guide sign of some sort.  I think it's "botanical gardens".  See .  -- Jayron 32 17:53, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * It is a tree and picnic table indicating "rest area class 1". See    Rmhermen (talk) 18:06, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

 * I have never traveled to South Africa nor seen this particular sign, but my first impression would be to indicate "shade" or a place to get out of the hot sun. --Thomprod (talk) 13:09, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

 * I see one of the aliens from South Park wearing a sunhat. Still adds up to the same thing. I guess that makes it a universal language. "Welcome! You must be tired." InedibleHulk (talk) 00:53, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

This page confirms that brown coloured signs (as in the UK) show tourist information, and this page says (scroll down to near the bottom of the page) that our sign means "Rest Area Class 1". BTW "Class 2" seems to have shelter provided by a permanent canopy rather than a tree and "Class 3" has fuel and eating facilities, judging by the symbols.

Weather
How’s the weather in LA and Canada? Was the temperature -40 degrees few/couple of days ago? -- (Russell.mo (talk) 19:55, 3 February 2015 (UTC))
 * All the weathers <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:21, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Your question seems to presume that the weather is the same throughout Canada. It's the second-largest country on Earth, and the weather will vary depending on which locality you're interested in.  Your question also seems to presume that whatever the weather is like in Canada, it will be the same in Los Angeles.  Since there is no one "Canadian weather", no comparison is possible unless you name a specific Canadian location.  --   Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  21:22, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Well, not necessarily. "LA" could also mean Louisiana.  However, I doubt if the temperature in either Los Angeles or Louisiana has been -40 in recorded history. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:32, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

 * And, bizarre as it sounds, LA has 5 different weather forecasts each day (something like high desert, low desert, downtown, coast, and mountains). Temps frequently range over 10 degrees F between them. StuRat (talk) 05:48, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Lol. I think Qubec/Montreal. My girlfriend lives in either LA or Canada, Montreal, Qubec. She goes back and forth as she works in both places. I just want to know if this occurred (-40) anywhere... -- (Russell.mo (talk) 09:03, 4 February 2015 (UTC))

 * Well you can certainly get -40 in Montreal. The band Malajube even wrote a song about it . --Xuxl (talk) 09:27, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's true either. I couldn't find an all-time low temperature for Montreal on line, but on this page (for the weather station at McGill), which is primarily about the period 1971 to 2000, it gives all-time records and the coldest was -33.9 C (which is -29.0 F) on December 29, 1933.  Now if you're thinking of wind chill rather than temperature, that might be another matter. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:58, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * When your face freezes, the distinction doesn't mean a thing. Here's a list of extreme temperatures in Canada, if anyone's into that. InedibleHulk (talk) 01:03, 5 February 2015 (UTC) InedibleHulk (talk) 00:58, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Women don't lie. They exaggerate. "It was 40 below" is Womanspeak for "it was really, really cold." ― Mandruss  ☎  09:32, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Mirror's Edge (mobile)

Requested move 26 September 2023

The result of the move request was: Moved to Mirror's Edge (mobile) (closed by non-admin page mover) BegbertBiggs (talk) 17:19, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Mirror's Edge (2010 video game) → Mirror's Edge (mobile game) – This, I think, is a better disambiguation option as it doesn't rely on users knowing what year the original game released in before selecting an article from the search results. Mirror's Edge (mobile), an already existing redirect to this article, is another option worth considering, though I wouldn't assume that everyone knows that "mobile" alone refers to a type of video game and think including "game" better clarifies that. It's also worth noting that, in contrast to this current title, Mirror's Edge (2008 video game) doesn't currently exist as of this message (perhaps it should regardless of the outcome of this discussion). QuietHere (talk | contributions) 15:18, 26 September 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 14:23, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose Per WP:NCVGDAB which states that this form of naming is to be used except in the case of platform-specific versions where the year would remain ambiguous. (i.e. If Mirrors Edge and its mobile version were both released in 2010, it would be named like that, but they were released in different years). However, because the original Mirrors Edge is the obvious WP:PRIMARYTOPIC it does not require disambiguation. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:03, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Changing to support because I saw that the console title had a couple of 2010 releases in various countries. It is overly confusing to disambiguate the mobile game as solely a "2010 video game". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:05, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Support. I don't think NCVGDAB is being helpful to readers in this case. Someone looking for this article would be much more likely to know that it was a mobile game than the year of its release I would think. Of the five core criteria for titling articles, I think the proposed title is clear winner for recognisability, naturalness and precision, a wash on concision and only consistency favours the current title. Jenks24 (talk) 11:10, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I am equally fine with Mirror's Edge (mobile). Jenks24 (talk) 09:38, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: WikiProject Video games has been notified of this discussion. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 14:23, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Support Point No. 3 of NCVGDAB recommends Mirror's Edge (mobile), but works too. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 14:29, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with just mobile, and since that's what NCVGDAB says is preferred I imagine more folks would support that. I'm not familiar with that precedent but I won't oppose it. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 14:33, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose, per the disambig guideline and WP:CONSISTENT. soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 20:02, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Support just "mobile". Agreed that "mobile" serves the reader better than "2010", no matter what NCVGDAB says. Agreed with Jenks24's policy-backed reasoning. czar  22:46, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Support. I understand the opposition, but I feel like the average person is more likely to recognize the platform than they would the year of release. To me, I entered this discussion from WT:VG expecting it was a move discussion about the more iconic Mirror's Edge, because I understood ME to have been released vaguely around that time period. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 21:48, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Cukie Gherkin this reads like you may have it backwards. The article is currently disambiguated by year, and the proposal is to change it to the platform for the exact reason you say you were confused just now. Unless I've misunderstood you, it sounds like you're in support of that move. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 21:56, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * My argument is that changing it to mobile wouldn't create confusion, but because 2008 and 2010 releases are so close, there may be confusion if we do it by year. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 21:58, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Cukie Gherkin Yes, which is exactly what I'm also saying. So why did you vote oppose? Was that a typo? QuietHere (talk | contributions) 22:06, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh, habit I guess. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 00:56, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Support Like Cukie, I thought this was the popular one we were discussing. This would serve readers better. QuicoleJR (talk) 12:11, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per Jenks. I too was WP:ASTONISHed when this page/discussion was NOT about the console game. "2010" seems not to be a very recognizable disambiguator. Axem Titanium (talk) 02:32, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Support moving to Mirror's Edge (mobile). WP:NCVGDAB has separate points for original and mobile games, which suggests that the mobile-game guideline is for "mere" adaptations of existing games. I think this falls under the latter category. I especially question the characterization as a prequel in the article; I couldn't find any reliable sources that describe it as such. (All the sources I could find that use the word "prequel" in relation to this franchise were about Mirror's Edge Catalyst.) If this can be considered an entirely new/separate game, then I will oppose. Regarding a potential ambiguity (I saw that the console title had a couple of 2010 releases in various countries):, do you have a source for this?

Objective-C Programming

Objective-C is an object-oriented programming language. It was named after the concept of adding objects to the C language.

Objective C was introduced with NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP, and was considerably extended in application due to its use with the Cocoa libraries under Mac OS X or the GNUstep libraries. However, you can program in Objective-C without these libraries if you wish.

Because not everyone uses OPENSTEP or Mac OS X, we will introduce these library-specific details later.

Familiarity with the C programming language is required, as Objective-C shares a lot with it, hence its name.

Contents

 * Objective-C concepts
 * The basic concepts of object-oriented programming in terms of Objective-C terminology.
 * Getting Started
 * Invoking Objective-C compilers

The New York Jazz Quartet in Chicago is an album by pianist Roland Hanna and the New York Jazz Quartet which was recorded in 1981 and released on the Bee Hive label.

Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "The New York Jazz Quartet gave pianist Roland Hanna, Frank Wess (doubling on tenor and flute), bassist George Mraz and drummer Ben Riley an opportunity to collaborate and, although the group did not develop any innovations, it did record several excellent albums. This Bee Hive album is one of their more extroverted affairs".

Space War Blues

Space War Blues is a science fiction novel by American writer Richard A. Lupoff. It is a fixup of several previously published pieces, the longest of which, "With The Bentfin Boomer Boys On Little Old New Alabama" (hereinafter “WTBBB”), first appeared in Harlan Ellison's 1972 anthology Again, Dangerous Visions. In his introduction to the novella, Ellison wrote: "It is so audacious and extravagant a story that it becomes one of the three or four really indispensable reasons for doing this book. Frankly, had no other story than this one been written for A,DV — the book would be worth reading." The story appeared on the final Nebula Award ballot for Best Novella of the Year.

History
Lupoff wrote the book over a period of almost eleven years. He began writing “WTBBB” in 1967, submitting the first three chapters of the 36,000-word novella to Harlan Ellison. With Ellison's encouragement, Lupoff expanded it to the 38,000-word version he turned in to Ellison in February 1969. Henry Morrison, Lupoff's agent, submitted this version to Dell, which became interested in publishing “WTBBB” as a possible stand-alone “slim” novel. Lupoff's contract with Ellison prohibited any prior appearance of stories slated for Again, Dangerous Visions, and along with the delay in ADV's publication, the deal with Dell fell through.

In 1973, Lupoff wrote a pair of stories which, while directly related to each other, were tangential to the main storyline of "WTBBB". These stories, "After the Dreamtime" and "Sail the Tide of Mourning", were published in the fourth and fifth volumes of Robert Silverberg’s original anthology series New Dimensions. Both stories were on the final Hugo Award ballot of their respective years, and "Sail the Tide of Mourning" was on the 1975 Nebula Awards ballot. Another story, "The Bentfin Boomer Girl Comes Thru", closer in style to "WTBBB", was published by editor Ted White in Amazing Stories magazine. These pieces are intertwined throughout the novel (see Contents below for a chapter-by-chapter breakdown.) After a succession of editors at Dell, a 70,000-word version of the novel was finally published in paperback in June 1978, with a hardcover reprint two years later by Gregg Press, aimed primarily at libraries.

According to the author's preface in the first edition, Lupoff was open to changes in the book's content and title (first New Alabama Blues, then New Alabama Spacewar Blues, and finally Space War Blues, when the cover designer complained that the title was too long.) A manuscript reader for Dell described the book as "unutterable bilge" and claimed the only intelligible part was a little prefatory note by an imaginary "Uncle Dudley." When Jim Frenkel, the last of the four Dell editors who worked with the novel, asked Lupoff to remove the "Uncle Dudley" sections, he readily agreed.

Frenkel wrote about the novel's style in his introduction to the hardcover reprint: "there are no fixed rules of grammar, spelling, or punctuation in the book, save for the unwritten rule that the inconsistency in all of the above is recognizably different and consistent within each narrative thread” The thread with the greatest divergence from standard English is the “WTBBB” sections. For example:

"’nifykin look outha portole sreely pretty, sreely pretty, lookna Port Upotoi swinging roun thole mudball, thole goodole place, it’s maybe not the prettiest place na whole universe but nobody ever said it was, it was home though m that counted frole lot that swat Leander Laptip saw outha portole:"

These divergences are apparently an attempt to represent (orthographically) vernacular English of the southern states of the US.

South African Law/Cession/Introduction

An introduction to cession
The main point of cession is the transfer of personal rights (claims) as opposed to real rights. In simplified terms cession is the transfer from one creditor to another of an obligation from a debtor.

When real rights are transferred, transfer takes place by delivery. Personal rights have no corpus and cannot therefore be delivered. Accordingly the method of transfer of personal rights is by cession.

Cession therefore encompasses two concepts.
 * 1) First the creation of a means of transfer of personal rights; and
 * 2) The method of transfer.

Who's who in the zoo
The principal parties to any cession agreement are the cedent and the cessionary. The debtor is not a party to the cession agreement, The debtor merely performs his obligations. It is obviously important to notify the debtor of any cession agreement when the obligation falls due, because otherwise he will execute performance to the wrong party.
 * The cedent is the original owner of the claim.
 * The cessionary is the new owner of the claim.
 * The debtor remains the person obliged to perform.

In practise it is important to distinguish between the parties because a cession agreement is usually entered into as a result of an obligation between the cedent and the cessionary. (i.e. the cedent is usually a debtor of the cessionary) Do not confuse the obligations of the cedent and the obligations of the principal debtor.

On cession, the vinculum iuris is extinguished between the cedent and the debtor and the vinculum iuris is passed to the cessionary.

It is useful to put the parties to a cession agreement in a diagramatic scheme as follows.

At the moment of cession:
 * The Cedent ↔ (transfers his right to) ↔ Cessionary
 * ↑(obligation to Cedent)
 * Debtor

On conclusion of the cession agreement,
 * Debtor ↔ (must perform the obligation to) Cessionary.

Note: On conclusion of the cession agreement, the cedent falls out of the picture, and the vinculum iuris is between the debtor and the cessionary. Thus in terms of locus standi, the cessionary takes full locus standi subject to all defences which the debtor could have asserted against the cedent. In practise the courts require the cession agreement to be mentioned in the particulars of claim, to show or prove the cessionary’s locus standi.

The need for cession
There is a commercial need to transfer obligations.
 * 1) For example:
 * 2) *Donald owes me R100.00
 * 3) *I can sell my debt to Sue for R80.00. If Sue recovers, she makes a profit and I am happy because I have R80.00 without the hassle of having to importune or to bring action against Donald.
 * 4) For example:
 * 5) *Donald owes me R100.00
 * 6) *I owe Sue R100.00.
 * 7) *I can cede my claim to Sue.
 * 8) For example:
 * 9) *Donald owes me R100.00
 * 10) *I want to borrow R100.00 from Sue.
 * 11) *I cede my debt as security to Sue for due performance of my own obligation. (This is a cession in securitatem debiti, of which more anon).

The problem with cession
The theoretical problem with cession is that it straddles two branches of law, and does not easily fit into either. This has led to conceptual confusion when interpreting cession agreements.

In Roman Law: stipulatio alteri nemo potest, i.e. it is not possible to transfer an obligation.

But it happened!

So all the jurists then had to explain it, hence the three theories of cession.

 * 1) First theory: rooted in property law.
 * 2) A claim is an asset in an estate.
 * 3) Assets can be transferred.
 * 4) Therefore claims can be transferred and creditors are substituted as a consequence of the transfer of the asset.
 * 5) Second theory: rooted in law of obligations.
 * 6) A claim is a right in consequence of an obligation. The basic principle of the law of obligations is that a debtor can only discharge his obligation by payment to the creditor.
 * 7) The substitution of creditors does not affect the right itself.
 * 8) Therefore claims can be transferred and creditors are substituted as a consequence of transfer of the right.
 * 9) Third theory: The dual nature i.e. both in the law of obligations and property law.
 * 10) *The claim is transferred via the law of property.
 * 11) *The creditor is substituted on performance of an additional act governed by the law of obligations.

Ready for Whatever (Mya song)

"Ready for Whatever" is a song recorded by American singer Mya. It was written and composed by Kevin McCall, Mya, and Lamar "MyGuyMars" Edwards while production duties was helmed by the latter with additional contribution from Khirye Tyler. A seductive midtempo song, "Ready for Whatever" serves as the lead single from her eighth studio album T.K.O. (The Knock Out) (2018) and as a intimate request from an unsatisfied lover to her man to make her a priority in his life and refuses to let anyone or anything get in the way of her love. Musically, "Ready for Whatever" is built around tinkling synths, breathy coos and a thick synth bass line which automatically sets the mood to be tantalized and teased. "Ready for Whatever" was released September 22, 2017 on all digital platforms. A music video shot and directed by Mýa features her dancing in blue and purple haze lighting, modeling in a sports car, and hanging out at a skating rink co-starring Kevin McCall as her love interest.

Background
On February 14, 2016, Mýa released her seventh studio album Smoove Jones (2016) to commemorate the release of her debut single "It's All About Me" and eighteenth anniversary in the entertainment industry. The release paid homage to R&B/soul/hip-hop with old school elements from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s and was released exclusively through Apple Music. Critically, Smoove Jones received "generally favourable" reviews from music critics. In 2017, Smoove Jones received a nomination for Best R&B Album at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards, which were held on February 12, 2017. Two days later, as a gift to her fans and commemorating her nineteenth anniversary, Mýa released a music video for the fan favorite "Coolin'". Filmed in Sydney, Australia, director Matt Sharp captures the singer's unmistakable beauty while she lets her vocals do the rest on a sandy beach.

Release
In early September 2017, Mýa previewed the song and its video on her official Instagram account. "Ready for Whatever" was officially released on September 22, 2017.

Background and synopsis
In early September 2017, Mýa previewed the "Ready for Whatever" music video on her Instagram account. As a gift to her fans and in honor of her birthday, Mýa officially released the music video on October 10, 2017. In the dimly-lit, slinky, visual clip, directed and produced by herself and Dana Rice, Mýa slithers around in a haze of blue and purple light, posing in a luxury sports car and rolling around at a skating rink while donning a skin-revealing outfit and showing off her sexually-charged dance moves which included grindin' on her love interest played by R&B singer Kevin McCall.

Personnel
Credits adapted from Qobuz.

 * Mýa – vocals, songwriting
 * Kevin McCall – songwriting
 * Lamar "Mars" Edwards – composer
 * Khirye Tyler – composer

Part II
Approximately two months later, a new mix featuring new vocals and arrangements from Mýa was released. Titled "Ready, Part II Bedroom Mix," it was distinctively different from the original, musically and lyrically. "Ready, Part II" was written by Shaunise "Niecy" Harris, Sydnii Raymore, Mýa and R.Kelly. While production was helmed by the latter, Lamar "Mars" Edwards and Khirye Tyler. Described as a sensual, slow burner, "Ready, Part II" was inspired by and utilized R.Kelly's It Seems Like You're Ready (1993) as its musical foundation. Chosen as the second single from her eighth studio album T.K.O., "Ready, Part II" was released November 24, 2017 on all digital platforms.

Personnel

 * Mýa – vocals, songwriting
 * Shaunise "Niecy" Harris – songwriting
 * Sydnii Raymore – songwriting
 * R.Kelly – songwriting, composer
 * Lamar "Mars" Edwards – composer
 * Khirye Tyler – composer

Welcome everyone to this page ! I want to start this discussion with a question ... Do you know what the CHILE LINE was ? My family comes from a corner of the world Known as "Conejos County, Colorado ! we've been able to trace our history back as far as the 1620's and Spanish land grants of the 18 hundreds, and the signing of the Guadalupe treaty. So I'm a proud Spanish-American and wish to preserve as much of our history for our future, our grand-children, your grandchildren as well... Currently the history of the CHILE LINE is limited to those people that live in that area where the line had affect. I'd like to preserve the importance of the rich history of New Mexico and Colorado as well as the mining industry that helped define this country. not to mention the railroads that were our main transportation in those days long gone. Perhaps history books could include the Chile Line as part of the teaching of the past and how the WEST was settled. I don't know how else to give honor to those Men and Women that have gotten us thus far. please help in any way you can !!!

Physics with Calculus/Mechanics/Energy and Conservation of Energy

One of the most fundamental concepts in physics is energy. It's difficult to define what energy actually is, but one useful definition might be "a measure of the amount of change taking place within a system, or the potential for change to take place within the system".

Roughly speaking, energy can be divided into two forms, kinetic and potential. Kinetic energy is the energy of movement or change. Potential energy is the energy a system has as a result of being able to undergo some change. To provide a specific example, a falling book has kinetic energy, because its position in space is changing (it is moving downwards). A book resting on a shelf has no potential energy relative to the shelf since it has a height of zero meters relative to the shelf. However, if the book is elevated to some height above the shelf, then it has potential energy proportional to the height at which it resides above the shelf.

An object can have both kinetic and potential energy at the same time. For example, an object which is falling, but has not yet reached the ground has kinetic energy because it is moving downwards, and potential energy because it is able to move downwards even further than it already has. The sum of an object's potential and kinetic energies is called the object's mechanical energy.

As an object falls its potential energy decreases, while its kinetic energy increases. The decrease in potential energy is exactly equal to the increase in kinetic energy.

Another important concept is work. Similarly to the way we defined energy, we may define work as "a measure of the amount of change brought about in a system, by the application of energy". For instance, you might do work on a book by picking it up off the floor and putting it on a shelf. In doing so, you have increased the potential energy of the book (by increasing its potential to fall down to the floor). The amount of potential energy you have "given" to the book is exactly equal to the amount of work you do by lifting it onto the shelf.

Mathematically, however, energy is very easy to define. Kinetic energy is 1/2 m v^2. Potential energy is a little bit trickier. Say we have a force which can be written as the gradient (a three-dimensional derivative. If you don't know what it is, pretend it is a normal derivative and you should be able to understand things in one dimension.) of some function, $$\phi$$ times the mass of the particle. That is $$ \vec{F} = m \vec{\nabla} \phi $$. Then potential energy is just $$m \phi + C$$ where C is an arbitrary constant. What arbitrary definitions, you might say. At first, you might think so, but it turns out, the work done by the force is the change in kinetic energy (see ../Work and Energy/). They are actually very closely related. In fact, the potential energy plus the kinetic energy due to the force is constant! Aha, so this "arbitrary" potential energy decreases at exactly the same rate this "arbitrary" kinetic energy increases. They must be the same thing in different forms! It is not so arbitrary after all. This is the conservation of energy. In fact, since the particles are moving at finite velocities, this is the much stronger local conservation of energy for mechanical systems. Another amazing fact is that it appears that all forces are conservative (this changes in electrodynamics, but energy is still conserved)! Even friction appears to be conservative on a molecular level. The slightly more mathematical treatment is available in ../Work and Energy/.

We may concisely state the following principle, which applies to closed systems (i.e. when there are no interactions with things outside the system):
 * In all physical processes taking place in closed systems, the amount of change in kinetic energy is equal to the amount of change in potential energy. If the kinetic energy increases, the potential energy decreases, and vice-versa.

When we consider open systems (i.e. when there are interactions with things outside the system), it is possible for energy to be added to the system (by doing work on it) or taken from the system (by having the system do work). In this case the following rule applies:
 * The total energy of a system (kinetic plus potential) increases by the amount of work done on the system, and decreases by the amount of work the system does.

This leads us to consider the conservation of energy and other quantities. In many cases, "you get out what you put in".

If you put 3 pairs of socks into an empty dryer, you don't need to analyze the exact configuration of the dryer, the temperature profile, or other things to figure out how many socks will come out of the dryer. You'll get 3 pairs of socks out[*].

A conservation law, in its most general form, simply states that the total amount of some quantity within a closed system doesn't change. In the example above, the conserved quantity would be socks, the system would be the dryer, and the system is closed as long as nobody puts socks into or takes socks out of the dryer. If the system is not closed, we can always regard a larger system which is closed and which encompasses the system we were initially considering (e.g. the house in which the dryer is located), even though, in extreme cases, this may lead us to consider the number of socks (or whatever) in the entire Universe!

Conservation laws help us solve problems quickly because we know that we will have the same amount of the conserved quantity at the end of some process as we did at the start. The fundamental laws of conservation are;
 * conservation of mass
 * conservation of energy
 * conservation of momentum
 * conservation of angular momentum
 * conservation of charge

Returning to our example above, the 'conservation of socks' is, in fact, a consequence of the law of conservation of mass. It should be noted that in the context of nuclear reactions, energy can be converted to mass and vice-versa. In such reactions, the total amount of mass plus energy doesn't change. Therefore the first two of these conservation laws are often treated as a single law of conservation of mass-energy

Combining these laws with Newton's laws gives other derived conserved quantities such as
 * conservation of angular momentum

Within a closed system, the total amount of energy is always conserved. This translates as the sum of the n changes in energy totaling to 0.

 * $$\sum_{k=1}^n \Delta \mathbf{E}_k = 0$$

An example of such a change in energy is dropping a ball from a distance above the ground. The energy of the ball changes from potential energy to kinetic energy as it falls.

\begin{matrix} U_g &=& m\mathbf{g}h \\ K &=& {1 \over 2} m\mathbf{v}^2 \end{matrix} $$

Because this is the only change in energy within our system, we will take a simple physical problem and model it in order to demonstrate.

An object of mass 10kg is dropped from a height of 3m. What is its velocity when it is 1m above the ground?

We start by evaluating the Potential Energy when the object is at its initial state.

\begin{matrix} U_g &=& m\mathbf{g}h \\ U_g &=& 30\mathbf{g} \\ \mathbf{g} &=& 9.807ms^{-2} \\ U_g &=& 30 \cdot 9.807 \\ U_{g3} &=& 294.21J \end{matrix} $$

The Potential Energy of the object at a height of 1m above the ground is given in a similar fashion.

\begin{matrix} U_g &=& m\mathbf{g}h \\ U_g &=& 10\mathbf{g} \\ U_g &=& 10 \cdot 9.807 \\ U_{g1} &=& 98.07J \end{matrix} $$

Hence the change in Potential Energy is given

\begin{matrix} \Delta U_g &=& 294.21 - 98.07 = 196.14J \end{matrix} $$

By definition, the change in Potential Energy is equivalent to the change in Kinetic Energy. The initial KE of the object is 0, because it is at rest. Hence the final Kinetic Energy is equal to the change in KE.

\begin{matrix} \Delta U_g &=& \Delta K \\ 196.14J &=& {1 \over 2} m\mathbf{v}^2 \\ 196.14 &=& 5\mathbf{v}^2 \end{matrix} $$

Rearranging for v

\begin{matrix} {196.14 \over 5} &=& \mathbf{v}^2 \\ \sqrt &=& \mathbf{v} \\ \mathbf{v} &\approx& 6.263 ms^{-1} \end{matrix} $$

We can check our work using the following kinematic equation.

 * $$\begin{matrix}

\mathbf{v}^2 &=& \mathbf{u}^2 + 2\mathbf{as} \\ \mathbf{v}^2 &=& 0^2 + 2\mathbf{gs} \\ \mathbf{v} &=& \sqrt{2\mathbf{gs}} \\ \mathbf{v} &=& \sqrt{2\cdot 9.807 \cdot 2} \\ \mathbf{v} &\approx& 6.263 ms^{-1} \end{matrix} $$

This follows because we can actually use the equations for energy to generate the above kinematic equation.

 * $$\begin{matrix}

\Delta U_g &=& \Delta K \\ m\mathbf{g}h &=& {1 \over 2}m\mathbf{v}^2 \\ m\mathbf{g}\Delta h &=& {1 \over 2}m{\Delta (\mathbf{v}}^2) \\ \mathbf{s} &=& \Delta h \\ \mathbf{gs} &=& {1 \over 2} \Delta (\mathbf{v}^2) \\ 2\mathbf{gs} &=& \mathbf{v}^2 - {\mathbf{v}_0}^2 \\ 2\mathbf{as} &=& \mathbf{v}^2 - \mathbf{u}^2 \\ \mathbf{v}^2 &=& \mathbf{u}^2 + 2\mathbf{as} \end{matrix} $$

Mads C. Larson House

The Mads C. Larson House is a historic house at 318 S. 1st Avenue in Maywood, Illinois. The house was built in 1909 by Mads C. Larson on land previously owned by the Maywood Company, the development company which planned the village. The Arts and Crafts-designed bungalow also includes many elements of the Prairie School style. Its design has an emphasis on geometry and nature, featuring rectangular piers and pilasters with decorative banding, board-and-batten siding, a row of leaded casement windows, and a glazed sun porch. The interior continues the themes of the design with posts matching the exterior piers, wooden moldings, mullions with the same pattern as the leaded windows, and built-in cabinets.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1992.

Scott is a republishing of a history produced by the local paper in the 1980s, so that source should be RS, IMO. Hog Farm Talk 03:00, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hog Farm, my uncle called on me. Go for it! It's a great little article and I appreciate the map (but what a slightly larger one look like? )It's long enough (not new, but 5x expansion and more than 1500 characters). I had a quick look at the sourcing and it looks fine to me. Rennick is a MS but I don't find that problematic. I'd like to hear a bit more about the power plant (coal) and what the nature of the complaints were, of course. The operator claims it's super clean and all that, and I'm also interested to hear whether there is any truth to that. But anyway, yes, go ahead and nominate it and ping me when you do, because I have pretty much already reviewed it.

George Whinnen

George Whinnen (30 November 1891 – 7 November 1950) was a South Australian painter.

History
He was born in Gawler, South Australia, a son of John and Emily Whinnen, née McIntosh (died 1923). After attending the local primary school he secured a job with A. C. Follett & Co., drapers of Murray Street, Gawler. He showed an interest in painting, so his uncle F. B. Whinnen, a Murray Street grocer, made him a gift of a set of paints.

His family moved to Willaston, then to Broken Hill, where he worked for Don Tailors and took night classes in painting at the technical school. He took further classes at the East Sydney Technical School. He was a champion rifle marksman, winner of the Galway Cup. When he left Broken Hill for Adelaide around the end of 1924 a trophy for rifle marksmanship was named for him. A few years later he was able to make art his full-time occupation. He studied under Fred Britton and attended life classes at the Adelaide School of Art.

He won the Melrose Prize for portraiture in 1929 and 1932, also won prizes for landscapes and seascapes, much of which was painted around Victor Harbor.

He created a furore in 1940 when he removed a still life from an exhibition run by the R.S.A.S.A. in a protest against the judges. He was president of the Royal South Australian Society of Arts 1940–1950. Also in 1940 he was appointed by the Education Department as teacher of drawing and painting from Life and Still Life.

The Museum commissioned him to paint a diorama for a major display of Central Australian wildlife.

His Still Life and Autumn Flowers were once held by the Art Gallery of South Australia.

Family
George Whinnen married Gladys Hill Pearce (1891 – 8 December 1953) on 19 August 1919; they had three daughters:
 * Diana (1920–1929)
 * Jeanette (26 November 1922 – 8 June 2005) married Hugh Butterworth on 3 November 1951
 * Anne (23 September 1931 – ) married Richard Fidock 29 March 1952

They had a home at 5 Rowell Avenue, Glenunga

 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept requesting nomination as an administrator.

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * Questions for the candidate
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
 * A: I would like to help with backlog issues, such as creating demanded articles by thoroughly researching the topic and posting an article, I will also delete/revert as much damage as I can that vandals have created on Wikipedia. For persistant vandals I would issue relevant warnings and then appropriately ban, either temporarily or permanently. I would also do other things that are worthwhile that I have not listed to make Wikipedia better. Apart from this I will be an active user and participate in as many things as I can.

 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A: I have made no articles but if I am made an administrator, possibly even if I am not I will make articles which do not exist but I think they should because I find them interesting or have been in the backlog for a while. I have made one contribution where I reverted some vandalism. I have not had this account or known about Wikipedia for very long, but don't let that deter you from making me an administrator as I have already mastered the basics and I will learn more advanced things as quickly as I can.

 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A: No, I have not been in any editing conflicts in the past and no users have caused me stress. But if I did encounter something like this in the future I would keep my cool and seek others opinions and back off if it got too out of control.

 * Comments

 * See DeltaSlaya's edit summary usage with mathbot's tool.

 * I will strive to do my best in updating, maintaining, and keeping Wikipedia clean as long as I am able, whether or not I am a mod, but if I was a mod I feel I would be able to do my job more effectively.

 * Support

 * Oppose
 * 1) Oppose 13 total edits. I strongly suggest you immediately withdraw your self-nomination.  This will get ugly.  There is almost no chance you will succeed in an RfA with 13 total edits.  Please just withdraw. Kevin_b_er 06:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Glommen-class minelayer

The Glommen-class was a class of two minelayers built for the Royal Norwegian Navy during the First World War at Akers Mekaniske Verksted in Oslo.

Service history
The two vessels were kept in service until the German invasion of Norway in 1940. Glommen and Laugen operated in the area around Melsomvik, and surrendered to the Germans on 14 April 1940. The Germans rebuilt both of them as floating flak batteries, and renamed them Nki-01 and Nki-02.

Glommen was scuttled at Kirkenes by the retreating Germans in 1944, while Laugen was returned to the Royal Norwegian Navy in 1945, and decommissioned and sold for NOK23,100 in 1950.

Hardingshute Manor

Hardingshute Manor (also Hortyngeschete, 13th century; Hortyngshute, Hortyngshott, 15th century; Hustingshute, 16th century; Arthingshoote, Ortingshote, 18th century) is a manor house in the parish of Brading on the Isle of Wight.

History
Hardingshute lies to the north of Brading and Nunwell. In the 13th century land at Hardingshute was held by Richard Malet, whose heirs are returned in the Testa de Nevill as holding a seventh of a fee under Robert de Glamorgan, and William atte Welle held an eighth of a fee there in 1431. The estate, which afterwards became known as the manor of Hardingshute, belonged, however, to the Lisles of Wootton. In 1306 Sir John de Insula, was granted free warren in the demesne lands there, and six years later granted to Walter Paye half an acre in the vill of Hardingshute. The manor then passed with South Shorwell (q.v.) to Michael Dennis, who exchanged it in 1557 for part of the manor of Compton with George Oglander. It has since followed the same descent as Nunwell, and as of 1912 was owned by Mr. J. H. Oglander.

User:Vector4F/Qutb Carrel and fascism

Criticisms of article Neofascism and religion, regarding Qutb and fascism

 * I contribute to some articles on Islam, including Sayyid Qutb, so I am biased. However, this section appears to be a serious misrepresentation of multiple scholars and multiple texts.  The majority of scholars cited are not at all making the claim for which they are being cited.  Lots of questions here.  Just going down the section:

 * The Rudolf Walther article in Die Zeit is speculative. He is not citing anything, just interpreting.  The "decisive affinities" he claims are never proven, only stated.

 * Walther's statement "Qutb cites no author aside from the Koran as often and as extensively as Carrel." is unproven. No citation, no publication referred to.  This claim should be the result of survey, perhaps even quantification.

 * Abdal Hakim Murad's passage is not related to the claim that Qutb's facism derives from Carrel. Murad writes "Qutb was influenced by the Vichy theorist Alexis Carrel (1873-1944), through his odd, vitalist tract LHomme, cet inconnu, which remains an ultimate, though unacknowledged, source text for much modern Islamism."  This cites a correlation, an influence, and does not specify what that influence is.  Murad cites as his source a book by Euben, but Euben makes no mention of facism here, only Carrel.  In Murad's notes, he also quotes Youssef Choueiri's book Islamic Fundamentalism, where Choueiri writes: "What Qutb fails to inform his vanguard, however, is that the code of conduct he subsequently elaborated in his �commentary� on the Koran matches that of Carrel much more than Muhammad�s own Traditions. The result is not an indigenous form of governance, but a Third World version of Fascism."  Carrel's "code of conduct" does not match Qutb's.  Carrel advocates Islamic law?  Carrel advocates jihad?  Very poor use of citations here.

 * Choueiri is quoted, from Murad's notes. see above point.  Also, Choueiri says Qutb's Qur'anic commentary is the proof of this, but the only English commentary on this I know of (Mysticism and Politics, Olivier Carre) makes only three mentions of Carrel (the same number as of Freud) and no mention facism.  the actual Qur'anic commentary makes none that I am aware of.  I need Choueiri's full text to say more, but this is far from a thesis on Qutb deriving fascism from Carrel.

 * Tariq Ali's citation does not even mention Qutb, only "the fundamentalists" and his analogy of these particular Muslims as Muslim versions of a French neo-fascist group is highly speculative. No argument is made about why this comparison is made.

 * John Calvert's text does not mention Carrel, only Qutb, and his comparison of Qutb and fascism is set against Bolshevik experiences and Lenin. His mention of a "derivation" is not at all explained.

 * The Salafi Islamist article is completely ungrounded. The statement is made that "Qutb developed his idea of "Jaahiliyyah" directly from the writings of Alexis Carrel", but no explanation is given.  This observation is in turn cited from a Virginia tech Ph.D. paper, which itself does not explain the development.  The author also cites the Choueiri, which I have already addressed.

I suppose if something is said enough it simply becomes accepted. No direct quotes from Qutb, despite the claims that Qutb cited Carrel more than any other source and that Qutb's infamous concept of Jahiliyya came directly from Carrel. I know of only one book in which Qutb quoted Carrel - this is directly cited in the above by Ahmed Bouzid's Ph.D. thesis (which never mentions fascism). We even know from some above sources that Qutb disagreed with Carrel, yet these discrepanies are never explained together. The causation argument between Qutb and Carrel's facism (not the correlations, the "derivation" of Carrel's concept into Qutb's writing), as presented in the article, is a mess of a conjecture. I am currently seeking to compile all of Qutb's writing which mentions or even suggests Carrel's influence, as well as reviewing all known secondary texts which address this issue. Right now I cannot call this anything but original research. I have spoken on this issue over at Talk:Islamofascism. --Vector4F 06:49, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Text from Wikipedia article Neofascism and religion
(As of version [46542619])

The fascist influence on Islamism
Some writers have claimed that Sayyid Qutb, the intellectual father of Islamism, was influenced by Alexis Carrel, the French fascist eugenicist. Qutb cites Carrel more than any other source except the Koran although it is important to note that, in some of the portions cited, Qutb was distinguishing his philosophy from what he regarded as Carrel's scientific materialism. Qutb also quotes extensively from Carrel's critique of what he regarded as the intrinsic decadence of Western democracies. [16][17]

Several scholars, including Tariq Ali, Paul Berman, Aziz al-Azmeh and Ibrahim M. Abu-Rabi find that Qutb's political ideas relating to the need for society to be remade by establishment of a ruling elite derive from Carrel's writings, although Carrel's racial and genetic terms are replaced by Qutb with religious terms. According to Rudolf Walther writing in Die Ziet:

The superficial commonalities between Carrel and Qutb are plain: we meet the medical man's elite in a 'scientific monastery' as Qutb's 'avant garde,' and the Carrel's 'biological classes' are Qutb's 'belief classes.' Whether 'civilization' (Carrel) or 'barbarism' (Qutb) -- neither are 'worthy of us,' because they contradict 'our true nature' (Carrel) or Qutb's 'good, healthy nature.' Both are quite in agreement in their goal to reconcile knowledge and belief. The decisive affinities lie deeper, though. Qutb cites no author aside from the Koran as often and as extensively as Carrel. What fascinated Qutb about Carrel was, as Islamic Studies scholar Ibrahim M. Abu-Rabi wrote in his 1996 book Intellectual Origins of Islamic Resurgence, first of all his view of humanity 'which he relies on more than the Koran.' Second, Qutb follows Carrel's method. The pious doctor complains that 'man, this whole,' this unique, complex being, is being subdivided and torn apart by social reality and science... The exclusive concentration on the material nature of man had the effect of repressing his spiritual side. [18] [19]

Abdal Hakim Murad, writing for The American Muslim, sees Qutb's anti-semitism as deriving from Carrel:

Antisemitism forms part of (the Islamist) vision too, certainly. But since, as Goldhagen confirms, this is an essentially Christian phenomenon, to be healed by correcting the views of the Evangelists, in an Islamic context which lacks a letter-spirit dichotomy it seems a hazier resource for identity construction. Qutb was influenced by the Vichy theorist Alexis Carrel (1873-1944), through his odd, vitalist tract LHomme, cet inconnu, which remains an ultimate, though unacknowledged, source text for much modern Islamism. [20]

Youssef Choueiri also sees a connection between Qutb and fascist ideology:

"What Qutb fails to inform his vanguard, however, is that the code of conduct he subsequently elaborated in his commentary on the Koran matches that of Carrel much more than Muhammad's own Traditions. The result is not an indigenous form of governance, but a Third World version of Fascism."(see note #10)

Similarly, Aziz al-Azmeh sees this same connection:

"Both Ali Shariati and Sayyid Qutb were great admirers of Alexis Carrel - a famous eugenicist of the 1920s, cultural advisor to the Marechal Petain, who railed against degeneration within, and advocated the cause of a small saviour minority which will bring health to the body of society diseased by degeneration."[21]

According to Tariq Ali:

"(T)he fundamentalists can be seen as the Muslim version of the National Front in France or the neo-fascists in the Italian government. A Western writer greatly appreciated by Muslim thinkers, a writer whose work fuels radical Islam, is Alexis Carrel, a Petainist whose books are also studied avidly in Le Pen's training camps." BLOOD AND BELIEF(see section titled: Replying to Huntington)

John Calvert, writing in Orbis, the journal of the Foreign Policy Research Institute, sees resonances between Qutbian Islamist philosophy and both fascism and "bolshevism":

(I)t would be incorrect to label radical Islam a utopian ideology, in the strict meaning of that term. Whereas utopias are models of the future based upon speculative discussion and planning, radical Islam is the expression of the collective conviction intuited in the moment. Much like fascism, radical Islam makes the revolutionary process central to its concerns at the expense of a fully thought-out “‘orthodox stage when the dynamics of society settle down to becoming ‘steady-state,’ namely when its internal and external enemies have been eliminated and new institutions created[...] "The situation of Islamist vanguardism is analogous to, and may well be a derivation of, the Bolshevik experience, where Lenin created a vanguard of dedicated political agents in order to diffuse socialism to the masses."[22]

According to an article published on a Salafi Islamist website called www.salafipublications.com:

"Sayyid Qutb was influenced heavily by...Alexis Carrel...(Qutb) borrows heavily from his observations and concurs with many many of his philosophical ideas about man, human nature, moral and social systems. Qutb developed his idea of "Jaahiliyyah" directly from the writings of Alexis Carrel. However, he did differ with him on the proposed solution that he envisaged..." [23]

For more on the Qutb/Carrel connection, see the following sources:

* Ali, Tariq. Clash of Fundamentalisms Verso, London, 2002 * Choueiri, Youssef. Islamic Fundamentalism Continuum International Publishing Group, London, 2002. * Walther, Rudolph. Die seltsamen Lehren des Doktor Carrel, DIE ZEIT 31.07.2003 Nr.32 * Pioneers of Islamic Revival (edited by Ali Rahnema), Zed Books, London 1994 * Abu-Rabi, Ibrahim M. Intellectual Origins of Islamic Resurgence, SUNY Press, Albany, 1996 * Azmeh, Aziz (Aziz Al-Azmeh). Islams and Modernities Verso, London, 1993. * Berman, Paul. Terror and Liberalism W. W. Norton, 2003

Not all observers believe that Qutb adopted a fascist posture. For example, Robert Irwin, the Middle East editor of the Times Literary Supplement, writes "Qutb seems to have rejected all kinds of government, secular and theocratic, and, on one reading at least, he seems to advocate a kind of anarcho-Islam" [24].

According to New York University professor Chris Matthew Sciabarra "(w)hatever totalitarian echoes one sees in the Qutbian vision, there are distinctions that disqualify the usage of the word "Islamofascism" to describe it, or to describe Islamic fundamentalism in general." However, Sciabarra also states that "(i)t is no great leap to realize the dictatorial implications of this utopian vision, whose enforcement would echo the totalitarian projects of fascism, Nazism, and communism." [25] See Islamofascism.

Finally, Khalid Durán, who coined the word Islamism, summed up his views on the fascist nature of this movement in his "Muslims and Islamists in America":

"Islamism is a late 20th century totalitarianism. It follows in the wake of Fascism and Communism, picking up from those and seeking to refine their methods of domination. Islamists mold tradition so as to serve their political ends. This causes them to clash with traditionalist Muslims who resist this manipulation of religion for power politics. Islamism is not a reaction of people feeling a loss of religious meaning, but a reaction to a sense of loss in the political sphere; it is a quest for power, an attempt to conquer the state, not to regain independence for religion, least of all individual faith." [26]
