75 Riverside Drive
A 15-story office building that is so unnoteworthy it has to be identified by its address. There are thousands upon thousands of office buildings in the world, and not all of them require a place on wikipedia. This is one of a large number of articles on buildings in Windsor, Ontario, one of which has already been deleted (see Articles for deletion/Solidarity Towers). Indrian 18:19, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

William Pitt Murray

William Porter 'Pitt' Murray (June 21, 1825 – June 20, 1910) was an American politician and lawyer. Born in Hamilton, Ohio, Murray went to the Ohio public school system. He studied at Miami University and the Indiana University Law School. In 1849, Murray was admitted to the Indiana bar. He then moved to Saint Paul, Minnesota Territory and practiced law. Murray was a Democrat. He served in the Minnesota Territorial House of Representatives in 1852-1853 and 1857. Murray also served in the Minnesota Territorial Council in 1854 and 1855. He was elected to the Territorial Minnesota House of Representatives for the 1858-1859 session but that session was never called. Murray did serve in the Minnesota House of Representatives in 1863 and 1868. He served in the Minnesota Senate in 1866 and 1867 and in 1875 and 1876. Murray served on the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners and the Saint Paul City Council. Murray died, at his home, from appendicitis, in Saint Paul, Minnesota just one day before his eighty-fifth birthday.

Murray County, Minnesota was named after William Murray.

Etymology
Revived by Gerard Manley Hopkins in his 1877 (published posthumously in 1918) poem The Windhover; ultimately related to.

Noun

 * 1)  The thick, voluminous, and shiny soil turned over by a plow.
 * 2) * 1951, Hazelton Spencer, British Literature, Heath, page 827,
 * The hard, plodding work of plowing (of the priest) makes the plowshare shine as it goes down the row turning up the sillion.
 * 1) * 1968, Wendell Stacy Johnson, Gerard Manley Hopkins: The Poet As Victorian, Cornell University Press, page 87,
 * The freely flying windhover, after all, has something essential in common with the sillion of a plowed field and the broken embers of a…
 * 1) * 2006, Mark DeLong, Inetogether, Lulu.com, ISBN 141169175X, page 4,
 * My tiller cut easily in the moist ground, and the weeds of winter and early spring easily yielded to the tines. Gerard Manly Hopkins wrote that there is “no wonder” that “sheer plod makes plough down sillion shine” — but the fact is, Mr. Hopkins, that there is in spring great wonder in the glimmer of “sillion” falling off the plough. And that wonder takes the “sheer plod” from my feet.
 * That is quite the reverse for the gardener who churns under his failed crops in August. In dust, there is no sillion, and that work in hot summer sun is the sheerest of plod.

Talk:Daily Express

Political allegiance
I know language like 'far-right' or 'extreme-right' might be seen by some as a little tendentious, but 'right wing' doesn't seem to me to be a particularly accurate description of the paper. Its unswerving traditionalism and virulently anti-muslim and anti-immigrant line surely suggests that an alternative moniker should be found. Unless someone proposes a more neutral way of describing the paper, I would suggest changing it to 'far-right'. So maybe we should read wikipedia's article on chauvinism and think if the Daily Express editorial line can excape it's definition.

That said, why should the hard-right always be allowed to set the agenda? For there seems to be little wrong with expressing a strong opinion - if that opinion has a reasonable degree of evidence/Practical Reasoning to back it up. And, if a 'newspaper' is known for having extreme or far-right opinions, then might not that rag be called 'extreme-right wing'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:04, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Agree. I was surprised that the page doesn't mention in the first paragraph that the Daily Express is a far-right paper. The words "middle-market" are extremely misleading. Vorpaul (talk) 00:16, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

 * I also agree. Terms like "middle market" and "conservative" are simply misleading. It's widely regarded as a far-right newspaper. --Tataral (talk) 23:47, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Diana obsession
From looking through the Mail Watch website, and from glancing over the front pages most days, I get the impression the "35" front page features is during 2006 alone? The Mail Watch website catalogues about 25 (depending on some interpretation, whether it is supposed to be a complete record, and my ability to count). Halsteadk 23:54, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Price
"...as well as the recent addition of "10 pence cheaper than the Daily Mail - and ten times better" due to recent price cuts."

I don't have a copy of the express with me to verify that it says this, but I know that this is incorrect. The express is 40p, the mail is 45p. So, there's only a 5p difference. Haddock420 21:04, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

 * It is. The "10p cheaper" was added when the Diana Express was only 35p. Now it is 40p, only 5p cheaper, and there is now only a small bubble saying "5p cheaper than the Daily Mail", without any mention of "X TIMES BETTER".

Real Values
Under this heading is the paragraph:

For some, the paper has been considered homophobic, which may be because the paper's new advertising tagline is "The paper that stands for real values and gives you real value for money". These "real values" include "traditions, progress, good manners, family fun".

This doesn't make any sense. People don't think the Express is homophobic because the paper's advertising tagline is "the paper that stands for real values" etc, they think it's homophobic because of the content of its articles.

-- Markbrough 22:53, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Good point. I've altered the text slightly.

 * Surely this page needs at the very least, to list examples of articles that some consider homophobic, if it is to make such a claim? Even then I think this is still drifting into a point of view which doesn't really have any place in an encyclopedia. If the Express has been publicly accused of being homophobic there should be a citation.

<IP_ADDRESS> 12:57, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

The "Grey Lubyanka"
The article could probably do with some details on the famous buildings the Daily Express has occupied in the past, including the art-deco Fleet Street building, Ludgate House on Blackfriars Road, and the current Northern & Shell Building. DWaterson 17:51, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I thought it was the "black glass Lubianka" that Private Eye used to call it. Fab building anyway. BTLizard 10:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Picture
Is this an actual scan of a front cover? And if so, does anyone know the date? It just seems too perfect to be true...
 * It's the Daily Express in a nutshell! NumberJunkie 14:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely genuine, yes. Don't have the actual date to hand, but it's from December 2005. MrBronson 01:57, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

A brilliant front page to sum up the Express, well done, perfect. Chris Longley 21:53, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

criticisms
There seems to be more text on criticism than there is text comprising facts about the paper. There must come a point where criticism of something gets out of hand for an encyclopedia. Indeed, it could get into the area of point-of-view, which may belong somewhere on the web but not in an encyclopedia. The Guardian has no section of criticism and the entry on Adolf Hitler doesn't include such a section.

Daily Snack

Fair use rationale for Image:Express1.jpg
Image:Express1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:30, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I added a rationale, but'm not quite sure what's expected. Is what I've written OK? Nick8325 19:40, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

NPOV???
I thought articles in wikipedia were supposed to be Neutral Point Of View. This is clearly not. It seems to have been written by either someone working for The Guardian, or some left-wing loser who has a serious chip on his shoulder about the newspaper. The way it is written is totally subjective and from a very biased point of view. It needs a total overhaul.

I agree with the individual above. Very biased and there are alot of "weasel sentences" like "and also its tendency to print a lot of pictures of attractive young women, especially murder victims, and a lot of sex-related "non-news" stories" - who put this in there and where is the source or example? [Pagren 17/07/2007]

I have placed a tag on the article involving neutrality, and this is the offending line: "These front pages are generally not based on a major news story of the day and are often sexed up with spurious headlines with little factual content to follow." This isn't allowed and someone needs to start rewriting it. <IP_ADDRESS> 19:04, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Whilst the article is true in what it says, (and I think you'll find that more than just "left-wingers" find the express utterly odious) it isn't written in an encyclopaedic style, and it definately isn't NPOV. It needs a major overhaul- the article is more like something from uncyclopedia.<IP_ADDRESS> 15:55, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Absoutely agree the following section has been removed, together with some of the other POV. Needs to comply with WP:V WP:NPOV and WP:OR (however true it may be).

"Non-newsworthy front pages"
The Daily Express often dedicates its front page to stories that would appear to rotate around several key themes including; house prices, food scares, miracle medical cures and the weather. These front pages are generally not based on a major news story of the day and are often sexed up with spurious headlines with little factual content to follow, for example 'The Secret Killer in our Food' - creating a front page headline about the dangers of hydrogenated vegetable oil in food or 'The Amazing Protein Diet' creating a front page headline about ketosis. Both such medical stories would appear to have been in the public domain in some form for several years making it hard to see how they could be worthy of newspaper front pages. House prices or inheritance tax stories also appear to be extremely popular, e.g.'House Prices to Rise by 50%'.

Nicknames for the Daily Express include Daily Excess and Daily Sexpress, due to its ownership by Richard Desmond, and also its tendency to print a lot of pictures of attractive young women, especially murder victims, and a lot of sex-related "non-news" stories.
 * Rich Farmbrough, 07:26 14 September 2007 (GMT).

Image
While the front page chosen is of course amusing, and illustrates the "criticism section" it does not appear to be a NPOV choice.... Rich Farmbrough, 07:30 14 September 2007 (GMT). If it is an actual front page then surely it can't be NPOV- if you have an argument as to why that front page is considerably different to                   the norm then state it. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:20, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Diana Express
BBC News Online's Magazine Monitor has frequently noted that articles about Princess Diana are often printed on Mondays regardless of the existence of more pressing news.

The article in question says

 * Diana stories appear on Mondays because Sunday is often a quiet day (though by this logic, every day must be a quiet day in Express towers)

is paraphrasing an Independent story: BBC's Magazine Monitor sounds like a good source but, in this case at least it isn't. We could perhaps cite the Independent interview. "Frequently noted" is also not stood up. Rich Farmbrough, 07:51 14 September 2007 (GMT).
 * I've cited the Indy - its possible thou not clear that this was the editor of the Express being reported. Rich Farmbrough, 08:10 14 September 2007 (GMT).

Circulation wars
Really should be coverage of price cutting, competitions, give-aways etc. OR at least a ref to another article. Rich Farmbrough, 08:08 14 September 2007 (GMT).
 * I've added a reference to giveaways while updating the circulation figures. Barnabypage (talk) 18:15, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

More NPOV
Relcutantly I've removed the following section as well. To many "sweeping generalisations". It could perhaps be recovred

Real values tagline
In January 2006 the Daily Express introduced its new advertising tagline - "The paper that stands for real values and gives you real value for money". These values include "traditions, progress, good manners, family fun".

These values have often manifested themselves in nationalist ways, such as the post-July 7 headline, "Bombers are all sponging asylum seekers" (which earned the Daily Express a substantial amount of negative attention from media watchdogs and other newspapers such as The Guardian). None of the bombers were asylum seekers, and when the headline was printed the identities of two of them were still unknown. The newspaper has also been criticised by the Press Complaints Commission for its repeated use of the self-contradictory term "illegal asylum seeker". The Express's obsession with the asylum issue even led to a member of the British National Party crediting the paper with boosting the BNP's electoral fortunes by focusing on the issue.

The paper has made such sweeping generalisations about numerous other targets, such as Tony Blair, the Labour Party and self-injurers (the paper published an ill-received editorial under the title "all self-harmers are tiresome attention seekers", in parody of the original asylum seeker heading, claiming that self-injurers are all teenagers who are looking for attention and should not be treated by the NHS). In addition, some of its articles have been considered homophobic, for example, voicing distaste about civil partnerships for gay couples in a December 2004 editorial, and printing an article in 2006 about the BBC show Torchwood with the headline 'It Contains Gay Sex and Bloody Violence, But Never Mind, Let Your Children Watch It, Say BBC'. The programme contained no onscreen gay sex (and very infrequent strong violence) and, in the article, the BBC spokesman had stated that it was up to parents to decide on Torchwood's suitability for their children, just like any other post-watershed show. The editorial in that edition also claimed that same-sex kissing is 'not something that most families would choose to watch'.
 * Rich Farmbrough, 08:17 14 September 2007 (GMT).

Maddie Express
I've updated the "Maddie Express" section. In my opinion this newspaper is disgusting. Myself and dozens of other people I know are getting thoroughly sick and tired of their constant, peculiar obsession with Madeleine McCann. 72 consecutive front page stories... how on earth is this justified?? It's like they're trapped in their own bubble of reality where nothing else happens. An asteroid could hit New York and wipe half the city out, and they'd still be showing Maddie as the front headline. Wjfox2005 09:02, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I have moved this content here:

"In the second half of 2007 the Daily Express, like most media outlets, gave a large amount of coverage to the missing toddler Madeleine McCann. However, the Express was unique in its dedication to the case. From August 3 2007 onwards, the Express dedicated at least part of every front page to Madeleine. As of November 2, 2007, this makes 91 front pages in a row. 78 of these, a vast majority, have been the main headline (often stylised by "MADELEINE" in red block capitals, plus an inevitable picture of the child). This constant stream of Madeline headlines has been criticised by many as obsessive, and adding nothing to the case."

It is wholly unsourced, including the attribution "Madeleine Express" and the headline count fails WP:OR. Personal opinions on the newspaper are conflicting with sound editing. This material should remain out unless reliably sourced. TerriersFan 01:56, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

On primary sources, which in this context means the papers, the OR policy is:

(1) only make descriptive claims about the information found in the primary source, the accuracy of which is easily verifiable by any reasonable, educated person without specialist knowledge, and (2) make no analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims, unless such claims are verifiable either from the primary source itself or from another source. Contributors drawing on primary sources should be careful to comply with both conditions.

The questions are then who's counting the headlines and what comment has been made on them e.g. in paper reviews, or the documentary about the case and coverage. It is a key fact about the paper that they give this coverage, but it can't be said that they've been criticised without providing examples, and there could be other perspectives, such as this:http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2007/sep/17/mondaymediasectionBillwilson5060 14:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Anyone can count the headlines. It's a simple fact that they have had her on the frontpage so many days in a row. It is easily verifiable without any specialist knowledge by simply going through the Express's own website and counting the number of front pages they've done in a row! I fail to see how stating a statistic that anyone can check by visiting a newspaper's website is is a personal opinion. Counting the number of headlines is *clearly* descriptive. --Gothicform 22:48, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

 * That would still fail WP:OR. On Wikipedia we record the research that is carried out and reported by others (reliable sources). If you want to show that the Express is overdosing on Madeleine then you need to cite a reliable publication that says so. TerriersFan 00:32, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

 * This extract from the page should not fail WP:OR as no analysis of the primary source has been made. The claim that X front pages have contained Maddie stories is entirely objective rather than subjective and, per Wikipedia's policy, is easily verifiable as the trusted source is the Express website which lists their front pages. Where this extract might fall down is on WP:NPOV, but NPOV would be satisfied by the inclusion of a counter-balancing viewpoint. It would however be hard to factor in undue weight as it would be impossible to gauge how many people disagree with this POV. I do however agree with it's inclusion in the article as even a short time Googling shows that a number of people agree with the sentiment. Even Maddie's father agrees that the constant headlines about every little thing don't help and he specifically singled out the Daily Express as a culprit. http://www.sundayherald.com/news/heraldnews/display.var.1644291.0.i_dont_think_necessarily_having_newspaper_headlines_with_the_image_of_madeleine_being_thrust_on_to_people_every_single_day_helps_clearly_we_have_seen_irresponsible_reporting.php EarlyBird 02:17, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Personal opinions happen to be factual in this case. However, there are now several references to Maddie criticism- if someone wants to improve them please go ahead.(<IP_ADDRESS> 01:30, 4 November 2007 (UTC))
 * Helpful, thanks. I have restructured so that most of it is now OK. The final sentence remains not reliably sourced. However, I think it is factually wrong in any case (see the family comment in the 1st para) and would probably be best out. TerriersFan 01:48, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Regarding original research - using past front pages from, say, the Express website would act as source-based research wouldn't it? As far as I know that's acceptable. Not that I know if such a source exists. Pobbie Rarr 00:22, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

The run didn't stop on 10th November - 10th November issue (Saturday) had MADELEINE on it, 11th November didn't have a Daily Express as it was a Sunday. 12th November (Monday) does have MADELEINE on the cover. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 11:17, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

The 15th November 2007 front cover is of great historic importance because it doesn't have any mention of Diana or Madeleine! (AndrewAnorak 20:12, 15 November 2007 (UTC))

"Even Maddie's father agrees that the constant headlines about every little thing don't help". That seems a little rich, when - at times - Maddie's father did not appear to have any issues with putting out an almost constant stream of stories. While the newspaper might have over-played the story, why would anyone want to use the loaded term, "Maddie Express"? Almost as if The McCanns have a number of internet supporters? — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:48, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Image-Express2.jpg
Image:Image-Express2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Adams murder case
Although this is a notable part of the paper's history, the current article appears to be slanted against the Express and looking at the case with the benefit of hindsight.

Further front-page themes
I've just removed the entire "Further front-page themes" sections. It seems to be one of those Isn't It Funny sections, a collection of lots of anecdotes about Daily Express stories that seem ridiculous to a particular editor. Some of this could no doubt be added to other sections of the article, but only if actual secondary sources can be found to show that they are particular fixations. As it is, the section made the article look like an attack page. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:54, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Daily Express and Daily Mail
I have deleted the 'Daily Express and Daily Mail' section. The section was poorly written, biased and completely trivial pointless information with no sources, it was simply POV. The only source was a completely irrelevant story about Muslims. This had no place in that section. It was simply trying to imply the Conservative Party is 'racist' which is a very false and offensive accusation. I have moved the circulation figures into the end of the 'Desmond era' section.

"A Huffington Post blogger"

Your Public Service Hating Express
"Is this for wheel?

Warden caught putting parking ticket on a WHEELBARROW" Daily Express, Sun, May 31, 2015

From the reactionary on-line comments, it would appear the middle-class Daily Express readership so hate public-workers that they would believe any old right-wing BS. Given this, would not this story make an interesting section on Express/newspaper values and standards?

Daily Mail/Exress·uk·co, Junk Science, and Google News' obsession therewith
For many years, regardless of numerous complaints directed to Google's 'help' pages on their news feed, Google News has liberally dumped the Daily Mail's proclivity for UFOs, aliens and supposed shocking revelations about (mostly US) astronauts, Neil Armstrong being particularly an object of conspiratorial fascination, on readers.
 * eg. "UFO sighting: 'Alien cube ship' TEN TIMES bigger than Earth captured by NASA

Talk:Chugging

Untitled
99% of people thinking of the word "chugging" would be thinking of the activity of drinking, not low frame rates. Besides, we already have an article on frame rates, which covers the topic of frame rates in video games. This article can't stay, so I picked the best redirect for the term chugging, which was Drinking. --Xyzzyplugh 15:03, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

-In agreement with the above, we need to point chugging back at drinking, rather than the current "street fundraising", which has nothing to do with "chugging" that I know of (and does not explain any supposed connection in the article)... — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:02, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

 * It's a British term, and (as the refs in the current article show) is now widespread and well understood in Britain, though I tend to think that "chugger" - ie the actual fundraiser - is used more often than "chugging" itself. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:05, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

That's odd, the discussion was overwhelmingly in favour of deletion. Thinking about proposing this for a Transwiki to Wikitionary since only the drinking term is defined there and this article is little more than a definition. -- Horkana (talk) 16:23, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep I've deleted the tabloid sources, there was definitely an issue with the sourcing. The coverage that I found and added was from The Independent, Telegraph, Evening Times, Radio Times, as well as local coverage in Romford Recorder, Wilmslow Guardian and Brentwood Gazette. I think that would count for WP:GNG: significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. There is a significant amount of coverage in national publications, but is it in depth? That's certainly questionable, but as per WP:GNG WP:BASIC, the amount of sources added together meet it. She also meets WP:ENT #2, as she gained national coverage for her roles in multiple notable shows, in this case X Factor, The Voice and TOWIE, three very well-known shows in the UK. Also and, why have you voted for deletion rather than a redirect to her series ofThe Voice, which is the show she is best known for? That is a clear WP:ATD, and if it did turn out that she was not notable but maybe it was WP:TOOSOON, the content would still be in the edit history. I do think it passes the threshold though, just. Boleyn (talk) 18:38, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I came across most of those sources in my own research; my problem is that they don't seem to amount to "significant" coverage - they are mainly trivial mentions by TV reviewers of the X Factor or The Voice, and I don't see why a brief mention of her at The X Factor (UK series 10) and The Voice UK (series 5) is not sufficient. The problem with a redirect is deciding which target - a case could be made for both of those shows.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 19:09, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . I meant to link to WP:BASIC: If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability. That's not a guarantee of notability, but there are numerous articles on her in national publications for four reasons: being a stand-in for Fergie in the Black Eyed Peas, coming second in The Voice, getting a lot of airtime on The X Factor and being in TOWIE. Getting coverage for these different things also confirms WP:ENT #2. As for WP:ATD, I think The Voice, where she came second, is the clear primary over TOWIE and The X Factor, where she failed to make the final 24. Boleyn (talk) 19:24, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Taganrog Museum of Art

Taganrog Museum of Art (Таганрогский художественный музей) was officially inaugurated in 1968, but the basis of the museum collection was formed by the end of the 19th century, when the art department of the Taganrog's city museum was established.

The most important part of the museum collection was formed in the Soviet Union time, and features two departments - Russian art before the Russian Revolution of 1917 and Soviet art.

The whole collection of art was looted from the museum during the Occupation of Taganrog in 1941–1943.

Since 1975, the museum of art is located at the former mansion of merchant Anton Handrin on Alexandrovskaya street 56.

Russian art before 1917
Among the paintings of this period exhibited at Taganrog Museum of Art are icons that date back to 17th and 18th centuries and paintings of the 18th and 19th centuries. The Realism (arts) of the late 19th century is represented with genre paintings and portraits by Konstantin Savitsky, Konstantin Makovsky, Henryk Siemiradzki, Nikolay Bogdanov-Belsky, Konstantin Makovsky and Vasily Maksimov, landscapes by Alexei Savrasov, Isaac Levitan and Arkhip Kuindzhi, sketches by Viktor Vasnetsov, Vasily Surikov and Vasili Vasilyevich Vereshchagin.

Soviet art
The Soviet art is represented with paintings by several generations of Soviet artists, including Igor Grabar, Aleksandr Gerasimov, Nikolai Petrovich Krymov, Vladimir Stozharov; sculptures by Yevgeny Vuchetich, Matvey Manizer; graphic art by Vladimir Favorsky, Yuri Neprintsev and Andrei Goncharov.

Monuments from the Taganrog Old Cemetery in the inner yard
Since 1976 many sepulchral monuments that represented special value as works of art were transferred from abandoned Taganrog Old Cemetery into the museum's inner yard, saving them from destruction.

Talk:List of Hungarians who were born outside present-day Hungary

Peter Lorre
The actor Peter Lorre was a Hungarian born in what is now Slovakia, according to his Wikipedia listing. Perhaps someone would like to add him to this (rather pointless) list.

 * I think that the point of this list is that with the change in the borders of Hungary after World War I, if these were born more recently, they would not have been Hungarians. The underlying implication is that the Hungarian culture, and society would have been the worse for it. Of course there is nothing that would stop a person emerging as an eminent contributor to his or her 'new' country. In Hungary however there is a still alert sentiment about these issues, also given that sometimes controversial treatment of the large local minorities in the bordering countries ( see for example the situation in Romania).

Talk:Learn Arabic (Language Of Quran)

Any suggestions/comments please leave them, they will be greatly appreciated! Istheway2 07:53, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Fonts
Do you know of any good FREE Arabic fonts?

The standard Unicode fonts that come with modern versions of Windows (XP & Later) have decent Arabic fonts characters, though to make them readable you have to enlarge the font size to at least 16pt. Josterhage 15:48, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Deleting external links
An anonymous user removed the link to Madinah Arabic, claiming it was not "free". While it is true that the external resource was not licenced under CC/GFDL, it was free of charge, and a quick examination suggested it was also useful and valuable. I don't think the external link should be removed, at least not without (a) discussion and (b) replacement with a better link. --McCormack 12:40, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Is it possible to integrate the original content with the new sequence? It seems unnecessary to wipe everything out and reinvent the wheel from scratch. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 20:24, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes .. i'm doing the same, but sometimes i have to do some necessary changes :( --Ruaa Elias (discuss • contribs) 14:28, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

There may be some confusion here. Arabic is indeed the language of the Qur'an, but the Qur'an is written in Classical Arabic, which is somewhat different from Modern Arabic.

If the Qur'an is important to the study, perhaps the reader wants to be able to
 * 1) Recite the Qur'an, pronouncing it correctly. Strictly speaking, there are various schools of recitation, one would be specified. Qira'at. Qur'ans are produced and marked according to the readings. The most common today is Hafs, so common that many Muslims don't know there are other readings. (And sometimes get upset about it! -- but any serious Muslim scholar knows about this.)
 * 2) Understand the Qur'an.

If the goal is to learn modern Arabic, to read Arabic newspapers and other documents, and perhaps to speak Arabic, it's a very different goal and regional variations will become very important.

From personal experience, if the goal is to understand the Qur'an, I highly recommend learning to recite it correctly, and memorizing much of it. Starting from the beginning, not just focusing on the short suras at the end, which are often highly poetic. Baqara, the second chapter, is clear and relatively simple Arabic, and covers all the basics of Islam. In learning it, one can use an interlinear Qur'an, with English translation easily seen. With some memorized Arabic, it starts to become easy to use dictionaries and grammars. Arabic is famously difficult or impossible to learn if one doesn't know any Arabic! When I started out, I'd read a grammar and would retain almost none of it. Later, it got much easier, because I had something to hang the grammatical rules on. Oh! That explains why it is
 * in:a |ll:Aha ^ala| kul:i $ayi~ qadiyr, but
 * wa |ll:Ahu ^ala| kul:i $ayi~ qadiyr.
 * (the a at the end of the name of God instead of a u!) (to use my old ASCII transliteration scheme).

So what is the goal here? Reading the Qur'an, or modern Arabic? If modern Arabic, "Qur'an" should not be in the page name. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 20:37, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

There is no modern, classical Arabic for Quran .. it's one Arabic(Fusha) .. we as Arabs refer to the Quranic language as Fusha .. i learned Quran by reading what i've learned in the school( arabic letters and sentences) only! i didn't have to enter islamic school to know how to read Quran. it's Easy :). here i'm trying to explain every thing about Arabic, people will be able to read Quran as well as understand what they are reading, and that's the goal of this project .. UNDERSTAND the Meanings of the holy Quran . ALLAH Says In Quran إنا أنزلناه قرآنا عربيا لعلكم تعقلون Verily, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an in order that you may understand. so for learning Quran u must learn the spoken Arabic and understand it .. what's the benefit of just reading characters ?? Thanx --Ruaa Elias (discuss • contribs) 08:22, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Thanks, Ruaa. The issue is one of approach. First of all, Qur'an, when fully marked, is written phonetically. If one learns the script and marks, one can read it. Reading it well takes study and time and practice, but ... it is approachable. Remember, I'm not an Arab. I have studied Arabic. One of the best books on learning Arabic said, in the introduction, that Arabic was famously difficult, for non-Arabs. One could take several years of Arabic at a university and still be unable to read a newspaper. Yet children learn Arabic. How do they learn?

 * Children learn through exposure without rejection. When adults are speaking, children do not have the idea that "I don't understand this." That comes much later, after they have been punished, shamed, humiliated for not understanding something. Children just hear it, and they hear it in context. So they learn, this is very natural for human beings.

 * I knew all this when I started to approach the Qur'an, over forty years ago. So what I did was expose myself to the language, and since what I wanted to do was to read the Qur'an, I read the Qur'an! I first learned the letters and markings, and that is fairly simple, for the first level of approach. I remember my first attempt to read aloud. I was sitting at a kitchen table in Taos, New Mexico, and there was a Hopi Indian elder sitting across the table, Tell Us Good Morning. My reading was what I'd call "painful," like the reading of a child. Most adults would avoid this, not wanting to be a child, not wanting to be embarrassed. I just did it. He fell asleep, and then woke up saying, "I thought I was home."

 * Writing this, I decided to Google him. . May he rest in peace.

 * Anyway, this is the problem, Ruaa. Language shifts with time. Root meanings, earlier meanings, are buried by centuries of interpretation and explanation and application. When the Qur'an was revealed, the words had meanings that were recognizable to the people of revelation, indeed, the Arabs, and specifically the Arabs of Makka and Madina. You may recall the hadith that the Qur'am was revealed in seven dialects and each one had seven meanings. What does that mean? 49 meanings? No. "Seven" is used to mean "many."

 * With time and what I'll call social pressure, the available meanings were narrowed.

 * There is a caution here: searching for "hidden meanings" is very dangerous. However, that's not what I was looking for. I was, in fact, looking for plain meanings, that would appear to an innocent Arab hearing the words. And it starts with the actual sounds, which is what we can easily learn to read.

 * By learning to read the sounds, we create, for ourselves, that original experience. However, we don't start out by knowing meanings. That takes context.

 * So what I did was to use an interlinear translation. I knew that no translation is reliable. So what a translation was telling me was what *one person* thought the text meant. At least one meaning of the text. Some translators are careful and use parenthesis to show words they have inserted that are not there in the original, as interpretations. Others are completely incautious about this.

 * I would commonly consult many other translations, dictionaries, I eventually bought Lane's Lexicon, etc. I'd look at whatever tafaasir were available to me. What does one get when one looks at something from more than one point of view?

 * Depth perception.

 * I was travelling when I started to read the Qur'an straight through. I decided that I would read for fifteen minutes a day, at least one "section" as the translation I was using had divided the text. Ruku'.

 * Very quickly I would become absorbed and keep reading. It took me about three months to read the whole book through. And then I started again from the beginning. And I found that I was now understanding much of it. And then I kept doing this.

 * At some point, years later, I started to memorize the Book. Enter houses by their doors. I started at the beginning. Obviously, I already knew the Fatiha, but, then, Alif, Laam, Miym.... dhAlika l-kitAb, right? laa rayba fihi, huda~ lil-mutaqiyn.

 * Isn't that what we want?

 * I have never learned to read Arabic, as such. Obviously, I can read much.

 * The book is clear. When we read it with filters, it can get murky. Our filters make it so. The filters are what we *already think it means.*

 * You mentioned Arabic as the language of revelation. The language of revelation of the Torah is Hebrew. So do those who have Hebrew as children have a superior understanding of the Torah? In some ways, obviously. In others, no.

 * So ... if the goal here is to learn Arabic, to be able to speak Arabic and read modern text, that's one goal, and surely a useful one. But if the goal is to approach the Qur'an, in the language of revelation, a different approach is suggested, learning the Qur'an by the Qur'an. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 14:52, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

May he rest in peace.

i still think that learning Arabic is the best way for understanding Quran, as you mentioned .. one Arabic word in Quran might contain alot of meanings. sometimes even the translators will not give the whole meanings. you r right, language has changed a little bit, but still we can find the old meanings .. every time i read QURAN believe me, every time i discover new meaning for the same verse! that's the benefit of reading Quran in Arabic when you will learn Arabic Insha' ALLAH, you will know what i mean :) --Ruaa Elias (discuss • contribs) 19:28, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I already know what you mean. No translator gives anything but a shadow of the meaning, a glimpse. However, if we look at all translations, we may see more. There are also tafaasir (the commentaries), likewise. However, the best guide to understanding the Qur'an is a knowledge of life, because, after all, the Qur'an is a dhikr, a reminder. Reminder of what? Of what we already know, obviously, we cannot be reminded if we don't already know. But perhaps we have forgotten or become confused.

 * Meanwhile, I write on Quora a lot, and a user there pointed me to the videos of Nouman Ali Khan. Amazing speaker. I don't normally watch videos. I made an exception for him. I'm not likely to learn a whole lot more Arabic at this time, I'm 71 this month, and it is not my major focus. Thanks. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 01:22, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Masha' ALLAH ,may ALLAH give you a very long and happy life. You may not like the purpose of this project but, i will be happy if you keep giving me suggestions to improve it :), too many thanks for you --Ruaa Elias (discuss • contribs) 08:59, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Quaker Meeting House (Peabody Essex Museum)

The first Quaker Meeting House (Federal Garden area) in Salem, Massachusetts was built during the autumn of 1688 by Quaker Thomas Maule. Much of the building was constructed using old timber repurposed from other buildings.

On October 13, 1690, Maule conveyed the Meeting House and land for £45 to Josiah and Daniel Southwick (sons of persecuted and banished Quakers Lawrence Southwick and Cassandra Burnell Southwick), Samuel Gaskill (husband of the Southwick's daughter Provided), Caleb Buffum, Christopher Foster, and Sarah Stone. Meetings were held in this building for nearly 30 years. Despite the small number of attendees, by 1714 additions were made after the Meeting House was considered inadequate in size. On October 3, 1716, the four surviving deed-holding Friends agreed to sell the Meeting House and land back to Maule for £25.

Over the years, until sometime around 1860 when it was moved to the grounds of the Essex Institute, the building was used as a small home by several families, a barn, cow barn, hen house, and finally a wood shed. Several children were born in the building between 1775-1787.

The current building, now part of the Peabody Essex Museum and erected in 1865 to resemble a Post-Medieval or First Period structure, is a reconstruction of the Quaker Meeting House and may contain some of the original timber framing. It is a very early example of an architectural re-creation.

Linear Algebra/Eigenvalues and eigenvectors

Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are related to fundamental properties of matrices.

 * The word eigenvalue comes from the German Eigenwert which means "proper or characteristic value."

Motivations
Large matrices can be costly, in terms of computational time, to use, and may have to be iterated hundreds or thousands of times for a calculation. Additionally, the behavior of matrices would be hard to explore without important mathematical tools. One mathematical tool, which has applications not only for Linear Algebra but for differential equations, calculus, and many other areas, is the concept of eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are based upon a common behavior in linear systems. Let's look at an example.

Let
 * $$A=\begin{pmatrix}

1 & 2 \\ 0 & -2 \\ \end{pmatrix}$$ and
 * $$\mathbf{x}=\begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 3 \\ \end{pmatrix},\quad \mathbf{y}=\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ \end{pmatrix}.$$

What happens with x and y if they are transformed by A? Well,
 * $$A\mathbf{x}=\begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ -6 \\ \end{pmatrix}$$
 * $$A\mathbf{y}=\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ \end{pmatrix}$$

But what is remarkable is that
 * $$A\mathbf{x}=(-2)\begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 3 \\ \end{pmatrix}=-2\mathbf{x}$$
 * $$A\mathbf{y}=(1)\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ \end{pmatrix}=\mathbf{y}=(1)\mathbf{y}$$

So when we operate on the vector x with the matrix A, instead of getting a different vector (as we would normally do), we get the same vector x multiplied by some constant. And the same goes for vector y.

We call the values 1 and -2 the eigenvalues of the matrix A, and the vectors x and y are called eigenvectors for the matrix A.

Definitions
We now generalize this concept of when a matrix/vector product is the same as a product by a scalar as above: essentially if we have a n×n matrix A, we seek solutions in v to find the eigenvectors, and solutions in λ to find the eigenvalues for the equation
 * Av=λv

How are we to do this? Let us rearrange the equation
 * Av-λv=0
 * (A-λI)v=0 (note we must multiply the scalar by the identity matrix otherwise A-λ makes no sense)

But (A-λI) is a matrix, so we are trying to solve Bv=0 where B=(A-λI), and this solution is merely the kernel of B, ker B. So the eigenvectors are in ker (A-λI), where λ is an eigenvalue. But how do we find the eigenvalues?

Bv=0 has nonzero solution if |B| = det(B) is zero. So to find the eigenvalues, we let |A-λI|=0 and then solve for λ. We will thus obtain a polynomial equation over the complex numbers (eigenvalues can be complex), known as the characteristic equation. The roots of the characteristic equation are the eigenvalues.

Note that we exclude 0 as an eigenvector, because it is trivially a solution to Av=λv and is not really interesting to consider. Additionally, if the zero vector were to be included, it would allow for an infinite number of eigenvalues, since any value of λ satisfies A0=λ0.

If we have an eigenvalue λ of a matrix A, together with a corresponding eigenvector, x, then any multiple of x is also an eigenvector for the same eigenvalue. To see that kx is also an eigenvector, follow this argument: If Ax=λx, then A(kx)=kAx=kλx=λ(kx). (Here k may be any scalar.) Thus, every multiple of an eigenvector is also an eigenvector.

Note the asymmetry here: eigenvalues are unique, while an eigenvalue has many eigenvectors.  Bold text Æə=== Finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors === Here are some examples of finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors using our definitions.

Let
 * $$A = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 0 \\

-1 & 2 \end{pmatrix}$$

Firstly, we expand |A-λI|=0 to find the eigenvalues:
 * $$\left| \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 0 \\

-1 & 2 \end{pmatrix}- \begin{pmatrix} \lambda & 0 \\ 0 & \lambda\end{pmatrix} \right|=0$$

 * $$\begin{vmatrix} 3 - \lambda & 0 \\

-1 & 2 - \lambda \end{vmatrix}=0$$
 * $$ (3-\lambda)(2-\lambda)-(0)(-1)=0$$
 * $$ (3-\lambda)(2-\lambda)=0$$

Now, elementary algebra tells us the roots of this equation are 3 and 2, and thus these are our eigenvalues.

(Exercise: prove that in a 2×2 triangular matrix the eigenvalues are on the principal diagonal. Harder: generalize this result)

Now we can find our eigenvectors. Consider the first eigenvalue λ=3. To find our first eigenvector
 * $$ \mbox{ker} (A-3I) = \mbox{ker}

\begin{pmatrix} 3-3 & 0 \\ -1 & 2-3 \end{pmatrix} = \mbox{ker} \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ -1 & -1 \end{pmatrix} $$ At this point we can row-reduce and back-substitute, but usually it suffices to guess the kernel since our matrix is small and we have linearly dependent columns. Now, observe:
 * $$ \begin{pmatrix}

0 & 0 \\                          -1 & -1 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} a \\ -a \end{pmatrix}=\mathbf{0}$$ So, for any scalar a, the vector
 * $$\begin{pmatrix} a \\ -a \end{pmatrix}$$ is an eigenvector. Stated another way, the set of all eigenvectors of the matrix A includes the set $$\mbox{span} \{\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}\}$$. In the plane, this represents a line of slope -1 through the origin.

As noted above the eigenvalues of a matrix are uniquely determined, but for each eigenvalue there are many eigenvectors. We usually choose an eigenvector for some convenience such as "most whole number entries", "first entry is 1", or "length of the eigenvector is 1". Most Computer Algebra Systems choose unit vectors for eigenvectors.

So here we may take $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}$$ to be the eigenvector, for example.

Similarly for our second eigenvalue λ=2, to find our second eigenvector:
 * $$ \mbox{ker} (A-2I) = \mbox{ker}

\begin{pmatrix}1 & 0 \\ -1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}= \mbox{span} \{\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}\}=\mathbf{0}$$ And so, our second eigenvector is chosen as
 * $$\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}.$$

Our eigenvalues then are λ=2,3, with eigenvectors $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}$$, as may be checked by multiplying each by the given matrix.

(We also could choose $$\begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt(2) \\-1/\sqrt(2) \end{pmatrix}$$ as an eigenvector for the eigenvalue λ=3 . Check this.)

Problem set
Given the above, find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the following matrices (Answers follow to even-numbered questions):
 * 1) $$\begin{pmatrix} 3 & 0 \\ -4 & 5 \end{pmatrix}$$
 * 2) $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 3 & -1 \end{pmatrix}$$
 * 3) $$\begin{pmatrix} -2 & 0 & 3 \\ 2 & 4 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$$
 * (Harder. Hint: one eigenvalue is 4.)

Answers

 * 1) eigenvalues: 3, 5; eigenvectors: $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix}  0\\1  \end{pmatrix}$$
 * 2) eigenvalues: -2, 2; eigenvectors: $$\begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix}  1\\1  \end{pmatrix}$$
 * 3) eigenvalues: -3, 1, 4; eigenvectors: $$\begin{pmatrix}21\\-6\\-7\end{pmatrix},\begin{pmatrix}3\\-2\\3\end{pmatrix},\begin{pmatrix}0\\1\\0\end{pmatrix}$$

Applications
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are not mere pretty facts about these vectors; they have relevant and important applications.

Matrix powers
Let us first examine a certain class of matrices known as diagonal matrices: these are matrices in the form
 * $$\begin{pmatrix}

a_0 & 0 & 0 & \ldots & 0 \\ 0 & a_1 & 0 & \ldots & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & a_2 & \ldots & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & \ldots & a_k \end{pmatrix}$$

Now, observe that
 * $$\begin{pmatrix}

a_0 & 0 & 0 & \ldots & 0 \\ 0 & a_1 & 0 & \ldots & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & a_2 & \ldots & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & \ldots & a_k \end{pmatrix}^k= \begin{pmatrix} a_0^k & 0 & 0 & \ldots & 0 \\ 0 & a_1^k & 0 & \ldots & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & a_2^k & \ldots & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & \ldots & a_k^k \end{pmatrix}$$

This is a useful property! However, the number of matrices to which we can apply this fact is clearly limited, so we ask ourselves whether we can transform a given matrix into a diagonal matrix.

The answer to this question is "sometimes", but for the moment, we will only look at matrices for which this answer is "yes".

What we seek is a matrix P such that
 * PAP-1=D

where D is diagonal.

If such a matrix P exists, we say that A is diagonalizable. (Note that xyx-1 is often called a similarity transformation).

Then
 * PAP-1=D
 * AP-1=P-1D

by multiplying throughout forward by P-1, then
 * A=P-1DP

by multiplying backward by P.

Now, we have
 * Ak=(P-1DP)k
 * =(P-1DP)(P-1DP)(P-1DP)... (k times)
 * =P-1D(PP-1)D(PP-1)DP... (k times)

The PP-1 terms cancel to give
 * =P-1DDD...P (k times)
 * =P-1DkP

We can calculate Dk easily, so we need to find P.

It turns out (the entire proof is quite difficult) that we simply create a matrix from concatenating the linearly independent eigenvectors to create P.

D, then, is the diagonal matrix containing the eigenvalues on the main diagonal corresponding to the associated eigenvectors (the eigenvalue in the first place corresponds to the eigenvector it is created from, in the first column).

Example
Let's work through an example to show these ideas.
 * $$A=\begin{pmatrix}

3 & 1 \\ 4 & 0 \\ \end{pmatrix}$$

So what do we do if we want to find A14? Let's use the method we've just described.

Find the eigenvalues:
 * |A-λI|=0
 * (3-λ)(-λ)-4=0
 * λ2-3λ-4=0
 * λ=-1, 4

Find the eigenvectors:
 * for λ=-1 $$

\mbox{ker}\begin{pmatrix} 4 & 1 \\ 4 & 1 \\ \end{pmatrix}=\mbox{span}\{\begin{pmatrix}-1 \\ 4\end{pmatrix}\}$$
 * for λ=4 $$

\mbox{ker}\begin{pmatrix} -1 & 1 \\ 4 & -4 \\ \end{pmatrix}=\mbox{span}\{\begin{pmatrix}1 \\ 1\end{pmatrix}\}$$

The eigenvectors are then
 * $$\begin{pmatrix}-1 \\ 4\end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix}1 \\ 1\end{pmatrix}$$

so put the eigenvectors together to form the matrix P
 * $$P=\begin{pmatrix}-1 & 1 \\ 4 & 1\end{pmatrix}$$

Now -1 generated the eigenvector in the first column, and 4 generated the eigenvector in the second column, so form D in this way:
 * $$D=\begin{pmatrix}

-1 & 0 \\ 0 & 4 \\ \end{pmatrix}$$

We can easily calculate (-1)14=1, so we get
 * $$D^{14}=\begin{pmatrix}

1 & 0 \\ 0 & 4^{14} \\ \end{pmatrix}$$

and we have the fast method for creating inverses of 2×2 matrices:
 * $$P^{-1} = -\frac{1}{5}\begin{pmatrix}1 & -1 \\

-4 &-1 \end{pmatrix}$$

So now we can now directly multiply out
 * $$-\frac{1}{5}

\begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ -4 & -1\end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 4^{14} \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} -1 & 1 \\ 4 & 1\end{pmatrix}$$ Simplifying we get

\begin{pmatrix} 214748365 & 53687091 \\ 214748364 & 53687092 \end{pmatrix}$$

Problem set
Given the above, find the following matrix powers (Answers follow to even-numbered questions):
 * 1) $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ -2 & 5 \end{pmatrix}^6$$
 * 2) $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 3 & -7 \end{pmatrix}^5$$
 * 3) $$\begin{pmatrix} -1 & 9 \\ -10 & 16 \end{pmatrix}^4$$
 * 4) $$\begin{pmatrix} -2 & 0 & 3 \\ 0 & 4 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \end{pmatrix}^3$$
 * (More tedious: only slightly easier because this matrix is in row echelon form)

Answers

 * 2.$$\begin{pmatrix} -3248 & 9840 \\ 9840 & -29488\end{pmatrix}$$
 * 4.$$\begin{pmatrix}1/4\end{pmatrix}*\begin{pmatrix} -32 & 0 & 48\\ 0 & 256 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 32\end{pmatrix}$$

Coupled ordinary differential equations
We can use the method of diagonalisation to solve coupled ordinary differential equations. For example, let x(t) and y(t) be differentiable functions and x' and y' their derivatives. The differential equations are relatively difficult to solve:
 * x' = 4x - y
 * y' = 2x + y

but
 * u' = ku for a constant k is easy to solve

it has solution
 * u = Aekx where A is a constant

remembering this fact, we translate the ODEs into matrix form

\begin{pmatrix} x'\\ y' \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 4&-1\\ 2&1 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x\\ y \end{pmatrix} $$ Diagonalise the square matrix, we get:

\begin{pmatrix} x'\\ y' \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1&1\\ 1&2 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 3&0\\ 0&2 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 1&1\\ 1&2 \end{pmatrix}^{-1} \begin{pmatrix} x\\ y \end{pmatrix} $$

we put

\begin{pmatrix} u\\ v \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1&1\\ 1&2 \end{pmatrix}^{-1} \begin{pmatrix} x\\ y \end{pmatrix} $$ then it follows that

\begin{pmatrix} u'\\ v' \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1&1\\ 1&2 \end{pmatrix}^{-1} \begin{pmatrix} x'\\ y' \end{pmatrix} $$ thus

\begin{pmatrix} u'\\ v' \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 3&0\\ 0&2 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} u\\ v \end{pmatrix} $$ as discussed above the solutions are easy. We have
 * $$u = Ce^{3t}$$
 * $$v = De^{2t}$$

for some constants C and D. Now that

\begin{pmatrix} u\\ v \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1&1\\ 1&2 \end{pmatrix}^{-1} \begin{pmatrix} x\\ y \end{pmatrix} $$ we get

\begin{pmatrix} 1&1\\ 1&2 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} u\\ v \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} x\\ y \end{pmatrix} $$ and so
 * $$x = Ce^{3t} + De^{2t}$$
 * $$y = Ce^{3t} + 2De^{2t}$$

This method generalises well into higher dimensions.

Coupled differential equations
Matrices, strangely enough, have a great use in relation to calculus in the calculation of solutions to coupled differential equations, where one differential equation has some function that depends on another differential equation. For example:
 * D y = 3y + x
 * D x = y + 3x

Without going any further, the solution to these differential equations looks very difficult! However if we formulate this in terms of matrices, it becomes a little bit easier to analyze.

Example
Let's take the above example, so
 * D y(t) = 3y + x
 * D x(t) = y + 3x

Now form a vector:
 * $$ \mathbf{v}(t) = \begin{pmatrix} y \\ x \end{pmatrix} $$

Then
 * $$ D \mathbf{v}(t) = \begin{pmatrix} D y \\ D x \end{pmatrix}$$

Now the problem becomes
 * $$ D(\mathbf{v}) = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 1 & 3 \end{pmatrix}\mathbf{v}$$

This is reminiscent of the differential equation we have already encountered in calculus, that of
 * D y = ky

in which the solution is y = cekt. We can make a wild guess then the solution to the above matrix equation will have a solution in a similar form.

So let's try a solution v = weλt. Then D v = λweλt.

Let us then try and substitute this guess solution into our equation:
 * $$\lambda\mathbf{w}e^{\lambda t} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 1 & 3 \end{pmatrix}\mathbf{w}e^{\lambda t}$$

If we let
 * $$ A = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 1 & 3 \end{pmatrix}$$

we see that the equation above becomes, on dividing through by $$e^{\lambda t}$$ (since it is never zero)
 * $$ A\mathbf{w} = \lambda\mathbf{w}$$

But wait - this is the equation before to find the eigenvalues - and we have that the solution v = weλt is a solution if and only if λ is an eigenvalue of A and w is its corresponding eigenvector.

The eigenvalues are 4, 2, with eigenvectors
 * $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}$$

respectively.

So we have two solutions
 * $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}e^{4 t}$$

and
 * $$\begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}e^{2 t}$$

Note that if we have two solutions to the differential equation D v = Av, linear combinations of the two solutions will give the same solution. So then we have then the general solution:
 * $$\mathbf{v}=j\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}e^{4 t}+k\begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}e^{2 t}=$$
 * $$\begin{pmatrix} y(t) \\ x(t) \end{pmatrix}=j\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}e^{4 t}+k\begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}e^{2 t}=$$

Separating into the first and second components we get our two solutions
 * $$ y(t) = je^{4 t}-ke^{2 t}, x(t) = je^{4 t}+ k e^{2 t}$$.

Problem set
Given the above solve the following problems (answers to even-numbered questions follow)
 * 1) Find y(t) and x(t) where D y(t)=3x(t)+6y(t) and D x(t)=x(t)+4y(t)
 * 2) Find y(t) and x(t) where D y(t)=2x(t)+2y(t) and D x(t)=x(t)-2y(t)

Answers
Form the matrix
 * $$A=\begin{pmatrix} 2 & 2 \\ 1 & -2 \end{pmatrix}.$$

The eigenvalues of this matrix are
 * $$\pm\sqrt{6}$$

and the eigenvectors are
 * $$\begin{pmatrix} 2-\sqrt{6} \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 2+\sqrt{6} \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}$$

So now
 * $$\begin{pmatrix} y(t) \\ x(t) \end{pmatrix}=\alpha\begin{pmatrix} 2-\sqrt{6} \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}e^{-\sqrt{6}t}+\beta\begin{pmatrix} 2+\sqrt{6} \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}e^{\sqrt{6}t}$$

and y(t) and x(t) can be read off by inspection.

Correction
Correction added to erroneous reference to 'An American Werewolf in London'. Nick Cooper 18:46, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
With regard to Gwernol's deletion of this film, having checked, it seems that a street scene has been shot using a builing in Prague dressed to look like "Strand" station, but this is what is now Charing Cross, not Aldwych. Nick Cooper (talk) 23:45, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I am sure, though, that interior scenes of an Underground station had "Strand" signs that looked authentic to the 1940s along the walls. Either the station was "impersonated" with a very well constructed set, or else they did use at least one of the platforms for the scenes in which they are whisked into and back out of Narnia.  Should we acknowledge that at this point, or wait for confirmation that it was the station itself (though why they'd build a set to mimic this station when it's clearly in use as a set already is beyond me).  User:Jwrosenzweig editing as <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:44, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * No, the platform tunnel seen in the film is a set. The most obvious way to tell is that the patterned tiling appears on both sides of the tunnel, while at Aldwych and other similarly decorated stations it appears only on the platform side and not the track side of the tunnel. Also, the tunnel seen in the film is straight, while Aldwych is curved. It's an impressive set, but a set nonetheless. Nick Cooper (talk) 12:37, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Broken wikilink

 * Fixed. --rbrwr± 16:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Uselessness of branch
One thing this article skips over is why the branch is so badly connected to the main Piccadilly line. Normally a short branch is connected to both of the main tacks and has crossovers such that reversing happens in the vicinity of the terminus, and usually extension is possible. Instead the Aldwych branch was doomed from the outset because the tracks & tunnels are set up such that a regular through service is impossible to incorporate into the main line and extensions were always going to be a nightmare to construct (a pity as a Waterloo to King's Cross through service is one of the major gaps in the centre of London). Is there anything in the sources or on record that explains why the stub was built so awkwardly rather than as a convention stub branch? Timrollpickering (talk) 20:57, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll add a bit more on this shortly. Badsey-Ellis has a page or so that discusses various track layouts that were considered, but does not really have an answer as to why it was built the way it was.--DavidCane (talk) 02:40, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Added as a note in the construction section.--DavidCane (talk) 01:36, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Side entrance

 * Thanks. There's also File:Aldwych surrey street entrance.jpg and File:Aldwych Underground Station - geograph.org.uk - 494148.jpg. These are all linked into the article through the commons category link in the external links section. I'm not sure that the article needs an extra image specifically for the second entrance.--DavidCane (talk) 23:07, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

That paragraph in Planning
Hey: I'm doing this separate from the FAC because it would take up too much space there. I'd like to see this reach FA (as, apart from some minor prose issues, it's good). This is how I'd write the paragraph: "Prior to the merger, the GN&SR had sought permission to extend the line southwards to run under Norfolk Street and end at an interchange under the Metropolitan District Railway's station at Temple. The extension was rejected after the Duke of Norfolk objected to tunnelling taking place on his land."

The red is an optional addition for clarification. This is 30% shorter but loses little detail; I'm not sure how much land the Duke owned (I would assume between the Strand and Embankment). Sceptre (talk) 23:20, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * OK. I've reworded, but the start of the extension would have been further north than the Strand at the junction of Kingsway and Aldwych. It is a technical thing, but the bills were generally written in a compartmentalised manner. The bill (here) sought separate permissions for the extension and the creation of the interchange. It is therefore theoretically possible that an interchange could have been approved at Temple if some other route was found to get there. The Duke's land was between Strand and the river.--DavidCane (talk) 00:59, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Tomb Raider III
I see that the Aldwych station level Tomb Raider III received a mention in the article, but I notice the section title is "Use in films and television programmes". Maybe the section would be better renamed to "Use in the media" or something similar? Regards, —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 06:37, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Erroneous use in film/TV
I've removed The Collector, since a recent viewing of the film shows that it contains only external shots of Holborn, and internal shots of Belsize Park. Nick Cooper (talk) 14:50, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Secret World MMORPG reference
Though spelled as "Ealdwic" station, it is fairly safe to say that the reference is there, particularly given its double use as a secret entry to the hollow earth used by the Templar. Still, I do not know that the Tomb Raider III reference really belongs in the section as it stands, so I did not want to add this one. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 09:05, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

 * On a day-to-day basis it is closed, but maintained. The lifts no longer work, so the only way in is via the spiral stairs, or - more rarely - by train from Holborn. There is a short train of otherwise disused stock stabled on the line, and this is run along the line regularly, and used for filming purposes. Nick Cooper (talk) 15:25, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * In fact the lift cars have been underpinned at street level and the cables have been removed. I believe that the both sets of machinery have been left in place as it would be a very expensive exercise to remove them, though the 630 volt DC supply cables have been removed as the copper had significant scrap value. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:24, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Talk:TuneCore

I added Izzy Stradlin
Former rythum guitarest and lead songwriter of Guns 'N Roses, former frontman of the Ju Ju Hounds, famous enoghf for a mention? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:43, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Is there a controversy surrounding Tunecore? Are they allegedly being investigated by the FBI? Are they a scam?
I found this while researching Tunecore. I can't tell if it's either an angered former customer blogging as several people, but there are legitimate people who are also posting warnings, and it seems that they're willing to put their faces (and reputations) on the line about this (if indeed they actually exist).

http://instylerecords.blogspot.com/2010/02/tunecore-biggest-scam-in-music-industry.html

Of course, keep in mind that this isn't a whole lot of bad feedback, (for instance, put "paypal" and "scam" into Google and you'll see a lot more come up than this blog) and it doesn't seem to make sense that the people at Tunecore would take such a risk considering how many other high profile bands that are connected with them, but it would be nice if this comment were at least addressed by someone rather than just a blogger. According to the Better Business Bureau they've had a total number of 5 complaints within the last 3 years -- 2 of which have been resolved and 3 of which have been resolved by the administration. They have an overall rating of "A". This does not strike me as a scam. If there were hundreds (or thousands) of complaints then I would be more prone to lend an ear to anti Tunecore blogging. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

 * Do you seriously believe a blog that's so poorly written?! I can only comment on my experience with TuneCore, which has been first class. Their support isn't great, but they seem to do a good job. Rolypole (talk) 04:46, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Have you considered some of the poorly written Wikipedia articles that are still factually correct? (Like this one in particular?) As I stated earlier, it seems more legitimate than not, but it was the well written responses by some people on said blog that have me at least curious about it. My own experiences with TuneCore have been too few and far between to personally make a judgment call, but they do seem to make money using back end sales techniques with affiliate sites (Jango, etc...) and equipment "deals" and sales, which would explain the willingness not to ask a percentage of record sales. Also, according to the anti-TuneCore blogs I've seen, we're talking about amounts equal to or roughly over a grand, but not HUGE, as in millions. In your personal dealings with them have you made that amount, or more, or less? (I'll just assume you're a Grammy winning artist who is rushing to TuneCore's defense and you've only dealt with millions ;D) —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:48, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Response from TuneCore's Peter Wells
We've written a response to this article. It's obviously absurd, but we want folks to know that people who steal music get no help from TuneCore:

http://blog.tunecore.com/2011/02/the-new-music-thieves-stealing-from-artists.html

Anyone has any questions about TuneCore, they're welcome to contact us. We'll be happy to set the record straight.

--Peter —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:18, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm glad that you've responded to this, Mr. Wells. (Or do you prefer Peter?) I actually think that a light dose of skepticism isn't that absurd, especially when dealing with anything involving the Music and Entertainment Industry. The statement in the article you directed us to -- "If It’s Too Good to be True, It Is!" is exactly how I first felt about TuneCore. I've been involved with Industry people for nearly twenty years, and sure there are some nice people in it, but there seem to be quite a few sharks swimming in the pool. Internet technology and the "new business models" that are popping up can be bewildering, confusing, and overwhelming for people who really only want to make music and make a decent living doing so. There are other sites out there that aren't nearly as altruistic as TuneCore. Though you've confronted these accusations using your own blog and articles, it is probably also effective to have such questions (and answers) posted on open blogs like Wikipedia, where it can be more of an unbiased source of information that is (relatively) moderated, and where IP addresses or usernames are logged. (Sure, people can fake both, but it's a lot of trouble just to defame TuneCore's reputation.) I myself have had relatively good experiences with TuneCore, and I'm under the impression that things such as delays, or CD packages that aren't printed correctly, or unanswered e-mails have less to do with TuneCore being a bad company and more to do with TuneCore having to be "the person(s) in the middle". Amazon and Apple (and the rest) can be tough to deal with for individuals, so I couldn't imagine having to deal with BOTH a huge number of artists AND those companies. As a minor example: if an artist decides that they want to withdraw their album from either company, said companies will charge a fee, and if Tunecore were to try and cover that fee for every artist who wants to take an album down then TuneCore wouldn't last very long, therefore TuneCore has to charge an early take down fee. This makes complete sense to me.

I also know that fraud is fraud, whether by a big company, a small company, or an individual, and that it would be criminal court where things like this would be decided, not just civil. I really doubt that TuneCore would risk everything by "cooking the books" when there are already so many Music Industry Associations already in place that exist solely for the artist to receive due earnings -- some of which are funded by the government.

I also wouldn't be surprised if some of the slandering of TuneCore wasn't the result of some recording company insiders who may be out of a job ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:14, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Jeff Price
Surely Jeff Price is no longer CEO of Tunecore? Wasn't he rather publicly fired earlier this year?<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:50, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Updating TuneCore's Page: How Can I Help?
Hi there,

My name is Alex, and I work for TuneCore. As some of you have pointed out, the TuneCore page is pretty out of date at this point. While I'd love to help keep the page up to date, nobody here at TuneCore wants our bias to mess with the accuracy or usefulness of the page, so editing it ourselves seems like a bad idea.

The good news is, we have a ton of factual information (and sources for citation) ready to share for anyone that is interested in updating the page. Just let me know what format would be useful and I'll be happy to send it to you.

Hope this is helpful!

Rock on,

✅ I've largely added what you requested, I don't see a problem with the sources you suggested although I had to replace one which was a dead link and "TuneCore pitches compositions for placement in television, film, video games and more" didn't actually verify that it in the source. They seem to meet reliable sources for the tech/music field. I worded for neutrality in one part though and cut some details on the Believe countries and staff which I don't think is relevant.♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:29, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Controversy or Criticism
Isn't Tunecore in hot water with some of its current or former music artists for allegedly "stealing" or freezing up royalties and keeping them away from them? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:21, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Scam allegations
TuneCore has reportedly been blocking releases on a consistent basis and without offering any valid reason for it, while not refunding users for the services they paid for but were not provided (i.e. music distribution). Research on the topic had brand new users uploading valid music and following the guidelines to the letter being blocked consistently and repeteadly.

Users are usually surprised by the exact following e-mail:

"Per the TuneCore Terms and Conditions, TuneCore has the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any materials submitted by TuneCore users for distribution. This notice is to inform you that TuneCore has blocked [RELEASE INFORMATION COMES HERE: NAME OF THE RELEASE AND ARTIST NAME] from being downloaded or streamed from the stores you selected.

''While we have a no refund policy, a refund for your submissions(s) can be processed under certain circumstances. Please let us know if you have any questions. Please do not attempt to resubmit this content through TuneCore service or it will be blocked without refund." '' Miguel Chambergo (talk) 20:10, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

 * We can't cover this in the article without sourcing that meets Wikipedia's guidelines, which you can find at WP:RS. MrOllie (talk) 20:27, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Levi Spaulding

Levi Spaulding (22 August 1791 – 18 June 1873) was a missionary for the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), and led a team of American missionaries to choose the American Madura Mission site for the Tamil people of South India.

He was an evangelist, hymnist and published a Tamil dictionary and an English-Tamil dictionary.

Early life
He was born on 22 August 1791 in Jaffrey, New Hampshire, to Elisabeth and Phinehas Spaulding. He pursued a career as a farmer until the death of his father in 1809. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1815 and Andover Theological Seminary in the Tabernacle Church, Salem, Massachusetts in 1818. Along with Henry Woodward, Fisk, and Miron Winslow he was ordained by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) in 1818 and was married to Mary Christie the same year.

Missionary work
As a missionary under ABCFM, he along with fellow-missionaries like John Scudder, the first medical missionary, sailed for Calcutta, India on 8 June 1819 from Boston and arrived Jaffna, Ceylon, on 1 December 1820. Upon his arrival at the mission station, he was initially placed at Manepay(also spelled as Manipay), where he served between 1821 and 1828; later, he served at Tellippalai (also spelled Tillipally) from 1828 and 1833.

He spent most of his missionary career at Oodooville (also spelled Uduville or Uduvil), where he supervised the church, schools, and did evangelistic work among heathens in villages. Besides his work in school at Oodooville, he was a preacher who preferred to go into the crowd and reach them in their own idiom; hence, he got to know the natives mind and heart better than other missionaries. His wife Mary Spaulding took charge of the girl's boarding school in Uduvelli for almost forty years. In January 1834, he led the group of American missionaries to explore the suitable locations for a new ABCFM mission station to the Tamil people of South India; thus, Madura, also spelled Madurai, was identified as the right site for new American Madura Mission under the guidance of Levi Spaulding. In July 1834, Henry Richard Hoisington and William Todd visited; subsequently, Hoisington returned after two months while Todd remained.

He died at an age of eighty-one on 18 June 1873 after fifty-four years of missionary service in India and Sri Lanka.

White House Tee Ball Initiative

White House Tee Ball Initiative refers to efforts by President George W. Bush to promote baseball and softball by allowing youth tee-ball events on the grounds of the White House in Washington, D.C. The event was first held in 2001.

In 2001, U.S. President Bush initiated what he described as the "White House Tee Ball Initiative". The purpose was to promote interest in childhood sports, including baseball and softball. According to the White House, the Tee Ball Initiative promoted "a spirit of teamwork and service for America's youth."

The plan was to invite teams from around the United States to play tee-ball at the White House. Teams were to be selected by the Little League Baseball Association.

About tee-ball
Tee-ball is considered "the entry sport to baseball for young players", as it generally requires less skill than baseball. Tee-ball associations allow children between the ages of four and eight to play in their leagues. It is estimated that 2.2 million children play tee-ball.

The principal difference between tee-ball and softball or baseball is that the child hits the ball off of a tee; the ball is not pitched. Thus, tee-ball allows a young child to learn the skills of batting, catching, running the bases, and throwing, while making it both easier to hit the ball and less likely for batters to be injured since they do not need to dodge wayward pitches.

The capitalized, spaced spelling "Tee Ball" is actually a registered trademark in the US of one particular, church-affiliated organization since the 1970s, though the game goes back to at least the 1950s in various parts of the United States.
