User:Aley77

Hello! My name is Alexandra Ley. I'm a volunteer writer and editor based in Washington, D.C. and originally from New England. I'm a proud alumna of Miss Porter's School and Barnard College of Columbia University, and received my M.A. in Theatre History & Criticism from The Catholic University of America in 2018. For money, I work in arts administration, and for love, I am the Literary Manager of the theatrical arm of Solas Nua.

I am an avid bibliophile who watches too much television and drinks too much Dunkin Donuts coffee. In general, I'm very interested in American history, theatre (particularly musical theatre history), Irish culture, wine, and Dungeons & Dragons. In my free time, I like to read, play bar trivia, obsess over television shows, practice yoga, root for the New York Mets, and see plays. I look forward to contributing to the Wikipedia community!

strikethrough
strikethrough ?? Surely this is the phrasal verb strike through. Algrif 11:55, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Surely this is a matter for Requests for verification? The noun certainly exists; the verb seems to be on the fringe of existence, and should probably be included but marked non-standard. (It definitely meets CFI, but if we consider it a misspelling of "strike through", it's not common enough to include.) It's probably analogous to the verb login, which can only be written as one word in its plain form. (Note that "please login" gets about twice the Google hits that "please log in" does.) —RuakhTALK 15:53, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

OK I'll put the verb request there. Algrif 16:00, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Moshe Abutbul (politician)

Moshe Abutbul (מֹשֶׁה אַבּוּטְבּוּל; born 14 July 1965) is an Israeli politician. He serves as the Deputy minister of the Israeli Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and has been elected to the Knesset since 2019. From 2008 until 2018, he served as the mayor of Beit Shemesh.

Biography
Born in Beersheba, Moshe grew up in a traditional household and studied at a secular school. From age 9–14, he lived at Zion Blumenthal Orphanage, and later studied at the branch of the Itri Yeshiva in Beit Shemesh. He performed his military service as a driver in a tracker unit, and in the military rabbinate. When he married Esther in 1986, he settled in Beit Shemesh. The couple has eight children.

Abutbul was a radio broadcaster on Radio 10, an ultra-Orthodox pirate radio station, and acted in several films aimed at the ultra-Orthodox public. Over the years, he moved to public sector activity, and between 1993 and 2018, he served as a member of the Beit Shemesh City Council, in charge of the Engineering and Construction Division of the municipality, the Deputy Mayor, and his place on behalf of Shas.

He was elected mayor in November 2008, with 45.74% of voter votes.

In 2013, Abutbul ran again for mayor, facing Eli Cohen, a candidate for the Jewish Home party supported by the "Zionist bloc" parties. Abutbul was elected for a second term, with 51% of the vote. The election campaign was accompanied by tensions between ultra-Orthodox and secularists, and due to a genuine suspicion of forgery revealed by members of the ultra-Orthodox "power" faction, protests were held against Abutbul's victory.

Finally, the court ordered re-election. They were held on 11 March 2014, and Abutbul was re-elected by an even larger margin (52%). In the local elections in 2018, Abutbul ran for a third term, and lost, by a razor-thin gap of 533 votes, to Aliza Bloch.

After the loss, he announced his retirement from public office life. Still, Abutbul was placed ninth on the list of Shas for the 21st Knesset, but, as Shas did not receive 9 seats, did not enter. He was stationed in the same place in elections to the 22nd Knesset, and subsequently entered the Knesset (as Shas received 9 seats in the elections). Abutbul served on various committees during his tenure in the Knesset, most notably chairing the "Lobby for the Preservation of the Sabbath", leading 30+ Knesset members seeking to preserve the status quo of the sanctity of Saturday as the day of rest of the Jewish State of Israel.

Hyperbolic Dehn surgery

In mathematics, hyperbolic Dehn surgery is an operation by which one can obtain further hyperbolic 3-manifolds from a given cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold. Hyperbolic Dehn surgery exists only in dimension three and is one which distinguishes hyperbolic geometry in three dimensions from other dimensions.

Such an operation is often also called hyperbolic Dehn filling, as Dehn surgery proper refers to a "drill and fill" operation on a link which consists of drilling out a neighborhood of the link and then filling back in with solid tori. Hyperbolic Dehn surgery actually only involves "filling".

We will generally assume that a hyperbolic 3-manifold is complete. Suppose M is a cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold with n cusps. M can be thought of, topologically, as the interior of a compact manifold with toral boundary. Suppose we have chosen a meridian and longitude for each boundary torus, i.e. simple closed curves that are generators for the fundamental group of the torus. Let $$M(u_1, u_2, \dots, u_n)$$ denote the manifold obtained from M by filling in the i-th boundary torus with a solid torus using the slope $$u_i = p_i/q_i$$ where each pair $$p_i$$ and $$q_i$$ are coprime integers. We allow a $$u_i$$ to be $$\infty$$ which means we do not fill in that cusp, i.e. do the "empty" Dehn filling. So M = $$M(\infty, \dots, \infty)$$.

We equip the space H of finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds with the geometric topology.

Related theorems
The Thurston's hyperbolic Dehn surgery theorem states $$M(u_1, u_2, \dots, u_n)$$ is hyperbolic as long as a finite set of exceptional slopes $$E_i$$ is avoided for the i-th cusp for each i. $$M(u_1, u_2, \dots, u_n)$$ converges to M in H as all $$p_i^2+q_i^2 \rightarrow \infty$$ for all $$p_i/q_i$$ corresponding to non-empty Dehn fillings $$u_i$$. This theorem is due to William Thurston and fundamental to the theory of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. It shows that nontrivial limits exist in H.

Troels Jorgensen's study of the geometric topology further shows that all nontrivial limits arise by Dehn filling as in the theorem. Another important result by Thurston is that volume decreases under hyperbolic Dehn filling. The theorem states that volume decreases under topological Dehn filling, assuming of course that the Dehn-filled manifold is hyperbolic. The proof relies on basic properties of the Gromov norm. Jørgensen also showed that the volume function on this space is a continuous, proper function. Thus by the previous results, nontrivial limits in H are taken to nontrivial limits in the set of volumes. In fact, one can further conclude, as did Thurston, that the set of volumes of finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds has ordinal type $$\omega^\omega$$. This result is known as the Thurston-Jørgensen theorem. Further work characterizing this set was done by Gromov.

The figure-eight knot and the (-2, 3, 7) pretzel knot are the only two knots whose complements are known to have more than 6 exceptional surgeries; they have 10 and 7, respectively. Cameron Gordon conjectured that 10 is the largest possible number of exceptional surgeries of any hyperbolic knot complement. This was proved by Marc Lackenby and Rob Meyerhoff, who show that the number of exceptional slopes is 10 for any compact orientable 3-manifold with boundary a torus and interior finite-volume hyperbolic. Their proof relies on the proof of the geometrization conjecture originated by Grigori Perelman and on computer assistance. It is currently unknown whether the figure-eight knot is the only one that achieves the bound of 10. One conjecture is that the bound (except for the two knots mentioned) is 6. Agol has shown that there are only finitely many cases in which the number of exceptional slopes is 9 or 10.

Clinical trials on ayurveda

Clinical trials on ayurveda refers to any clinical trials done on ayurvedic treatment. Ayurveda is a traditional medicine system in India and like other cultural medical practices includes both conventional medicine and also complementary and alternative medicine. When there are clinical trials in ayurveda, the focus tends to be on practices in alternative medicine.

A 2017 essay described that in India, ayurveda is inadequately equipped to manage many modern diseases, owing to insufficient research and development. The essay argued that clinical trials in ayurveda should focus on areas outside the scope of modern medicine.

Also, while there is a short history of clinical research on ayurvedic treatments, there is no existing systematic review available which identifies all the studies and interprets them as a whole.

Educational organizations which teach Ayurveda require training if they are to design clinical trials on ayurvedic treatments.

As of 2016 the Clinical Trials Registry – India contained approximately 200 records of clinical trials on ayurvedic treatments.

List of clinical trials
Of all the recorded clinical trials, the following treatments are those for which there are meta-analyses of multiple trials:
 * Bacopa monnieri for cognitive skill
 * Withania somnifera for anxiety
 * treatment for osteoarthritis
 * Yoga as treatment

Dichotomous Key/Plantae

Plants are mainly multicellular, predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae.

The term is today generally limited to the green plants, which form an unranked clade Viridiplantae (Latin for "green plants"). This includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns, clubmosses, hornworts, liverworts, mosses and the green algae, and excludes the red and brown algae. Historically, plants formed one of two kingdoms covering all living things that were not animals, and both algae and fungi were treated as plants; however all current definitions of "plant" exclude the fungi and some algae, as well as the prokaryotes (the archaea and bacteria).

Green plants have cell walls containing cellulose and obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis by primary chloroplasts, derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria. Their chloroplasts contain chlorophyll a and b, which gives them their green color. Some plants are parasitic and have lost the ability to produce normal amounts of chlorophyll or to photosynthesize. Plants are characterized by sexual reproduction and alternation of generations, although asexual reproduction is also common.

There are about 300–315 thousand species of plants, of which the great majority, some 260–290 thousand, are seed plants. Green plants are the basis of most of Earth's ecologies, especially on land. Plants that produce grains, fruits and vegetables form humankind's basic foodstuffs, and have been domesticated for millennia. Plants play many roles in culture. They are used as ornaments and, until recently and in great variety, they have served as the source of most medicines and drugs. The scientific study of plants is known as botany, a branch of biology.

tank volume ?
789,500 litre means (English: "," is thousand-mark) about 800 thousand litres = 800 m3 and a water content weighting 800 tons. Rectangular sizing would be 10 x 10 x 8 m.

The thin construction profile of the tank supporting tower seems rather to be able to carry a tank of 1 ton (plus advertisment plates ...)

Therefore a tank volume of rather 789.5 litres (or in German writing with decimal comma: 789,5 l) should be correct.

<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 10:15, 11 June 2009 (UTC) johannes muhr, graz (A)

This article on the PlayPump appears to be self-serving.

It is admitted that the technology appears very appealing but simple arithmetic - using the firm's own claims - shows why both USAID and The Case Foundation, who were original major funders of the idea, have now distanced themselves from it. A search of the InterNet indicates that Laura Bush, while still First Lady of the USA, was instrumental in obtaining US$ 16.4 million for the group, indicating a political rather than an humanitarian slant to the project.

Playpumps claim, on their own website, that they aim to serve 10 million people with 4,000 units by 2010. This works out at an average of 2,500 people for every pump. Assuming that each of those people receives the basic minimum of 15 litres/person/day, then each (average) pump must produce a minimum of 37.5 cubic metres of water daily from the energy of school children. Again, from PlayPumps own website, they claim that the pump will produce 1,400 litres/hour from a typical 40 metre lift. Now, simple arithmetic shows that the pump must operate for 37,500/1,400 = 26.78 hours every day.

Which perhaps explains why people are now less enthusiastic about the technology. Weren't schools about teaching children rather than them pumping water day and night for their communities ?

It is significant that no independent evaluation of PlayPumps has been published.

The article could be left on Wikipedia with an added paragraph questioning how the school-children can both learn and pump for the required average 26.78 hours in every 24 hours. An update on how much money USAID and The Case Foundation are allocating to PlayPumps in each 6-month period up to the end of 2009 would also be a useful indicator. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mulberrybush (talk • contribs) 02:22, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

unsourced material
"Field left his well paying job with FGM to start this initiative. He was disturbed to see the water problems and the fact that women and girl children had to often trek distances of 8 km to collect water from their nearest sources. The idea took seed when he saw a model developed by Ronnie Styver in 1989 in an agricultural fair in Pretoria." This sounds like an ad. if you have sources, you can move it back.

The practice continues, but is often used in different contexts than those for which it was originally designed. Legal appointment of a guardian is far more common in the case of minors.

For example, most of the habeas corpus cases brought in connection with the U.S. war on terrorism have been brought by someone with "next friend" status. Similarly, many cases seeking an injunction to prevent life sustaining treatment from being withdrawn from a patient are initially brought by a "next friend" until a guardian can be appointed by a court.

Microeconomics

Preface
The goal of this book is to explain how people interact economically, understanding the relationship between people, supply and demand, markets, and efficiency. We will do this by first understanding the nature of the basics concepts of microeconomics, then proceeding to the application of the concepts in specific types of situations.

Readers are expected to have an understanding of arithmetics as well as basic differential calculus. Where needed, we use R for statistical programming. The graphics are also created using R, the needed code can be revealed by clicking on the graphic.

A specific fictional book title from a novel. No generic or attributive use given. Dmcdevit·t 07:42, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I think the Simpsons counts, but what meaning does that use of the term convey? Anything beyond just mentioning the name? Dmcdevit·t 08:08, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Isn't this a rather iconic book pertaining to the black arts? The mere mention of which conjures up certain feelings and connotations. I'd say it's more than just a name. __meco 08:40, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That's not the point: it very well may be, but it sounds like you are looking for an encyclopedia article. If the mere mention of it conjures up anything at all other than the fictional book invented by Lovecraft, then the definition should reflect that with citations. Dmcdevit·t 08:48, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I disagree because we're talking about a proper noun. Just because mention of the word Paris conjures up an imagery of bagettes, cafes, art, and fashion does not mean we shouldn't list it as "the capital city of France". Just because the word Versailles conjures up an image of grandeur does not mean that makes a good definition of the word (though that ought to be mentioned).  Proper nouns are specific objects and must be defined as such.  The Necronomicon is a specific book (albeit fictional) and should be defined as such.  The Usage Notes may express additional conntations as needed.  --EncycloPetey 20:09, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * This cite is good . It shows a sense different from the current one where the word is used generically to denote something other than the fictional book itself, but presumably something sinister and mysterious. The definition should correspond to that sense (if it can be corroborated with other citations). Dmcdevit·t 08:48, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The meaning being conveyed in the Simpsons is "an evil book". Kappa 09:08, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That's a connotation, though, not a definition. I don't see this as a separate definition, just a reference to the same arcane book invented by Lovecraft and referenced/mentioned by numerous other authors. --EncycloPetey 17:58, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Since the book is fictional, it has no specific content associated with it. Its mention is intended to bring in an antiquity, weight, and horror that the name carries in connotation from other stories.  It turns up in stories by varied authors who usually mention it, possibly describing its cover or history, but never giving the contents.  It really ranks more as a word used to conjure up a sense of ancient evil and the supernatural rather than to identify a particular object.  If you do look at the Wikipedia article on the Necronomicon, you'll see that it's mentioned not only in works by Lovecraft, but also by Clark Ashton Smith, August Dereleth, Stephen King, and (humorously) in the bibliography of a book by Michael Crichton.  With reference in so many works, and an iconic "mystique" surrounding the book, it seems appropriate to give it an entry.  It even has an attributive use as the etymological origin of the Necrotelecomnicon (book of talking to the dead) used in the Discworld books of Terry Pratchett.  Other fictional works mentioned by Lovecraft (such as the Pnakotic Manuscripts) have not lived on in the imagination the same way as the Necronomicon has.  Given time, I could assemble an armada of quotations, but I think its widespread use speaks volumes. (sorry) --EncycloPetey 19:58, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

 * In terms of a fictional reference, it's not up to Humpty Dumpty, Pinocchio, or Quasimodo, all of which do not have entries and certainly deserve them far more. The search results showing it used as an adjective as necronomiconic, however, are impressive, though lacking the widespread use of narf (Tea_room), which is also being refused an entry.--Halliburton Shill 20:09, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

A specific fictional book title from a novel. No generic or attributive use given. Dmcdevit·t 07:42, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Does the Simpsons count? Kappa 08:03, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 2002 Simpsons episode Brawl In The Family
 * and now Bob Dole will read from the Necronomicon.
 * I think the Simpsons counts, but what meaning does that use of the term convey? Anything beyond just mentioning the name? Dmcdevit·t 08:08, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Isn't this a rather iconic book pertaining to the black arts? The mere mention of which conjures up certain feelings and connotations. I'd say it's more than just a name. __meco 08:40, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That's not the point: it very well may be, but it sounds like you are looking for an encyclopedia article. If the mere mention of it conjures up anything at all other than the fictional book invented by Lovecraft, then the definition should reflect that with citations. Dmcdevit·t 08:48, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I disagree because we're talking about a proper noun. Just because mention of the word Paris conjures up an imagery of bagettes, cafes, art, and fashion does not mean we shouldn't list it as "the capital city of France". Just because the word Versailles conjures up an image of grandeur does not mean that makes a good definition of the word (though that ought to be mentioned).  Proper nouns are specific objects and must be defined as such.  The Necronomicon is a specific book (albeit fictional) and should be defined as such.  The Usage Notes may express additional conntations as needed.  --EncycloPetey 20:09, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * This cite is good . It shows a sense different from the current one where the word is used generically to denote something other than the fictional book itself, but presumably something sinister and mysterious. The definition should correspond to that sense (if it can be corroborated with other citations). Dmcdevit·t 08:48, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The meaning being conveyed in the Simpsons is "an evil book". Kappa 09:08, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That's a connotation, though, not a definition. I don't see this as a separate definition, just a reference to the same arcane book invented by Lovecraft and referenced/mentioned by numerous other authors. --EncycloPetey 17:58, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Since the book is fictional, it has no specific content associated with it. Its mention is intended to bring in an antiquity, weight, and horror that the name carries in connotation from other stories.  It turns up in stories by varied authors who usually mention it, possibly describing its cover or history, but never giving the contents.  It really ranks more as a word used to conjure up a sense of ancient evil and the supernatural rather than to identify a particular object.  If you do look at the Wikipedia article on the Necronomicon, you'll see that it's mentioned not only in works by Lovecraft, but also by Clark Ashton Smith, August Dereleth, Stephen King, and (humorously) in the bibliography of a book by Michael Crichton.  With reference in so many works, and an iconic "mystique" surrounding the book, it seems appropriate to give it an entry.  It even has an attributive use as the etymological origin of the Necrotelecomnicon (book of talking to the dead) used in the Discworld books of Terry Pratchett.  Other fictional works mentioned by Lovecraft (such as the Pnakotic Manuscripts) have not lived on in the imagination the same way as the Necronomicon has.  Given time, I could assemble an armada of quotations, but I think its widespread use speaks volumes. (sorry) --EncycloPetey 19:58, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

 * In terms of a fictional reference, it's not up to Humpty Dumpty, Pinocchio, or Quasimodo, all of which do not have entries and certainly deserve them far more. The search results showing it used as an adjective as necronomiconic, however, are impressive, though lacking the widespread use of narf (Tea_room), which is also being refused an entry.--Halliburton Shill 20:09, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep wide use in horror litrature.--Williamsayers79 20:14, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, per use in Army of Darkness. bd2412 T 16:23, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

The article has three cites (thanks, Kappa), but there doesn't seem to be consensus about exactly what kind of cites are needed for an entry of this type; therefore, I'm moving this to RFD. —Ruakh TALK 05:36, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The fact that the book is fictional is irrelevant. There are famous texts from antiquity (now lost) whose contents are the subject of speculation, but whose existence at some time in the past is certain.  The dividing line between such a book and the Necronomicon is very fuzzy.  There are plenty of fictional places, people, and things that we would accept as entries, so I fail to see why there is a problem with this one, especially since we have three votes to keep and three independent citations.  If I had access to a copy of the Stephen King short story Gramma (published in the Skeleton Crew collection), I could check for another citation there as I seem to recall one there. --EncycloPetey 06:43, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep, as per EncycloPetey. \Mike 07:26, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep --Williamsayers79 23:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete, proper noun with no indication of attributive use. Of great encyclopedic interest, but does not seem to be used in language to refer to anything but itself.  It's used to set atmosphere, sure, but so are lots of other literary works (and fictional literary works) that we don't and shouldn't have entries for: The Great Gatsby, The Princess Bride, The Prince.  Do not see what distinguishes this from cases such as  below.  -- Visviva 16:54, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I don't follow your reasoning and here's why:
 * (1) "No indication of attributive use" -- Please see the citations on the entry itself, which include an attributive use. I have expanded that citation for additional context.
 * (2) "Does not seem to be used in language to refer to anything but itself" -- you mean like Moon, Athens, Central Europe, Union Jack and other proper nouns. "Referring only to itself" is a general trait common to all proper nouns, and therefore not a reason to exclude an entry.  We're not likely to exclude all proper nouns from Wiktionary.
 * (3) "So are lots of other literary works...that we don't and shouldn't have entries for" -- but there are literary works for which we do and should have entries for, such as the Koran, I Ching, and Iliad. So that fact that there are some we don't have does not mean we shouldn't have this one.
 * (4) "Do not see what distinguishes this from Pigpen" -- Pigpen is a particular character featured in one person's works; we have no evidence yet of any appearance elsewhere. By contrast, the Necronomicon features or appears in a wide array of literary works, films, and television programs written by multiple authors spanning nearly a century.
 * --EncycloPetey 17:41, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

 * This is interesting... :-)
 * (1) Not to split hairs, but I would have called that a generic rather than attributive use, and one which suggests that an entry for the generic sense should be at necronomicon instead. However,
 * (1a) This inspired me to try "a Necronomicon" on Gbooks, which turns up an adequate number of uses of "Necronomicon" to describe something more general than Lovecraft's invention. So I will now agree with the consensus to keep -- although I still find this consensus rather puzzling in light of the pitched battles being fought over other invented nouns (brand names, fictional characters, et al.).
 * (2) We have a de facto convention for major place names, and I would argue that Union Jack is not really a proper noun in the usual sense (although it would probably merit inclusion anyway).
 * (3) Certainly the titles of some literary works merit inclusion. But most do not, regardless of the number of times they are mentioned offhandedly in other works.  For this line of thinking to make sense to me,  I need some indication of what standard the Necronomicon meets that The Great Gatsby does not.
 * (4) In both cases, the name is frequently followed by a contextualization -- at least that was the impression I got while searching for attributive/non-literal uses in both cases. For example:
 * " Dear Professor: We are in receipt of your letter of August 29th, requesting information on the availability of the Necronomicon of Abdul Alhazred on interlibrary loan."
 * -- Lin Carter, The Xothic Legend Cycle
 * "Other elements of the Mythos—an entire library of mythical books of occult lore, chief among them the Necronomicon of Abdul Alhazred; ..."
 * -- S.T. Joshi, Ramsey Campbell and Modern Horror Fiction
 * "I picture a scenario somewhat like Pigpen, from the Peanuts cartoon; when he takes a step, the dust falls around him in little gritty clouds.
 * -- Michele Morgan, A Magical Course in Tarot
 * " I scuttled to the basement for a smoke. I felt like Pigpen in a Charlie Brown cartoon—engulfed in a nasty cloud of odor."
 * -- Jean Flora Glick, Holy Smokes
 * In both cases it is possible to find cases where the term appears (or seems to appear) without explanation, but nonetheless the term seemed to be principally encyclopedic. I am now persuaded otherwise; "Necronomicon" is clearly used to refer to things other than its original encyclopedic referent. (I do think the entry should center on this broader "tome of dark knowledge" sense, rather than the original Lovecraftian use). -- Visviva 00:34, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * (3) The Necronomicon appears as an object in fictional works through a genre of modern literature (horror); it is a mythical object like a modern Grail, Excalibur, Golden Fleece, or Pandora's box. While it does not have the status of age that these other mythical objects do, it does strongly affect the lives of people in the tales where it appears and thus carries a mythic quality as an object. The Great Gatsby has no such usage. --EncycloPetey 05:10, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep, as per Necronomicon_Press, Wikinomicon Mutante 17:01, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Use in company or project names doesn't seem relevant here. -- Visviva 00:34, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

 *  Delete or re-RFV. Presumably, transcripts of the television shows can be found somewhere.  I personally am not willing to hunt them down.  My first objection to using them, is that they cannot be verified.  The exact spelling/capitalization can contain errors that aren't editorially reviewed, as the spoken voice won't convey that distinction.  For Wiktionary verification purposes, it would be much better to avoid such sources entirely.  While it is rational to presume that anything broadcast to the general public over public airwaves is implicitly released to the public domain, the US Copyright laws obviously don't agree.  I don't know of any television transcripts released before 1928 (is that still the copyright cutoff we use?) so any such texts will have copyright issues to overcome.  Unlike books, where the text is widely available, the TV transcripts normally are not available to the public.  Even when transcripts can be found, they usually do not originate from the authors.  More often, they are glommed from "Close Captioned" extracts and reposted without permission.  I do not see any reason to encourage the use of TV transcripts as citation material.  But I do see compelling reasons to avoid them.  --Connel MacKenzie 17:26, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Um, Connel. Is your opinon predicated solely on the fact that TV citations are being used?  You aren't swayed by the fact that print citations also exist? --EncycloPetey 17:41, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I had read the summary of why it was moved to RFD and misinterpreted that to mean that it was the TV citations in dispute. So, keep generic entry at necronomicon, delete Necronomicon.  --Connel MacKenzie 01:10, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. Well cited, from books, and easily attributed. sewnmouthsecret 17:33, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Kept per the above support. Already cited (and ours is fair use). There may be arguments about the capitalization. I haven't looked into whether the entry would need to be moved or even split. DAVilla 04:02, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Electronics/DC Voltage and Current

Ohm's Law
Ohm's law describes the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.Voltage and current are proportional to the potential difference and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit

V = I \cdot R $$

 * Voltage (V) is measured in volts (V); Current (I) in amperes (A); and resistance (R) in ohms (Ω).

In this example, the current going through any point in the circuit, I, will be equal to the voltage V divided by the resistance R.

In this example, the voltage across the resistor, V, will be equal to the supplied current, I, times the resistance R.

If two of the values (V, I, or R) are known, the other can be calculated using this formula.

Any more complicated circuit has an equivalent resistance that will allow us to calculate the current draw from the voltage source. Equivalent resistance is worked out using the fact that all resistors are either in parallel or series. Similarly, if the circuit only has a current source, the equivalent resistance can be used to calculate the voltage dropped across the current source.

Kirchoff's Voltage Law
Kirchoff's Voltage Law (KVL):
 * The sum of voltage drops around any loop in the circuit that starts and ends at the same place must be zero.

Voltage as a Physical Quantity

 * 1) Voltage is the potential difference between two charged objects.
 * 2) Potentials can be added or subtracted  in series to make larger or smaller potentials as is commonly done in batteries.
 * 3) Positive charge flow from areas of high potential to lower potential.
 * 4) All the components of a circuit have resistance that acts as a potential drop.

Kirchoff's Current Law
Kirchoff's Current Law (KCL):
 * The sum of all current entering a node must equal the sum of all currents leaving the node.

KCL Example

-I1 + I2 + I3 = 0 ↔ I1 = I2 + I3

I1 - I2 - I3 - I4 = 0 ↔ I2 + I3 + I4 = I1

 * $$ I_1 = I_2 + I_3 + \cdots + I_n \,\! $$

Here is more about Kirchhoff's laws, which can be integrated here

Voltage Dividers
If two circuit elements are in series, there is a voltage drop across each element, but the current through both must be the same. The voltage at any point in the chain divides according to the resistances. A simple circuit with two (or more) resistors in series with a source is called a voltage divider.

 * [[Image:PotentialDivider.png|120px]]

Figure A: Voltage Divider circuit.

Consider the circuit in Figure A. According to KVL the voltage $$V_{in}$$ is dropped across resistors $$R_1$$ and $$R_2$$. If a current i flows through the two series resistors then by Ohm's Law.

 * $$i = \frac{V_{in}}{R_1+R_2}$$.

So
 * $$ V_{out}=iR_2 \,\!$$

Therefore
 * $$ V_{out}=\frac{V_{in}R_2}{R_1+R_2}$$

Similary if $$V_{R1}$$ is the voltage across $$R_1$$ then
 * $$ V_{R1}=\frac{V_{in}R_1}{R_1+R_2}$$

In general for n series resistors the voltage dropped across one of them say $$R_i$$ is
 * $$V_{Ri}=\frac{V_{in}R_i}{R_{eq}} $$

Where
 * $$R_{eq}=R_1+\cdots+R_n$$

Voltage Dividers as References
Clearly voltage dividers can be used as references. If you have a 9 volt battery and you want 4.5 volts, then connect two equal valued resistors in series and take the reference across the second and ground. There are clearly other concerns though, the first concern is current draw and the effect of the source impedance. Clearly connecting two 100 ohm resistors is a bad idea if the source impedance is, say, 50 ohms. Then the current draw would be 0.036 mA which is quite large if the battery is rated, say, 200 milliampere hours. The loading is more annoying with that source impedance too, the reference voltage with that source impedance is $$\frac {9(100)}{250}=3.6\mbox{ V}$$. So clearly, increasing the order of the resistor to at least 1 k$$\Omega$$ is the way to go to reduce the current draw and the effect of loading. The other problem with these voltage divider references is that the reference cannot be loaded if we put a 100 Ω resistor in parallel with a 10 kΩ resistor. When the voltage divider is made of two 10 kΩ resistors, then the resistance of the reference resistor becomes somewhere near 100 Ω. This clearly means a terrible reference. If a 10 MΩ resistor is used for the reference resistor will still be some where around 10 kΩ but still probably less. The effect of tolerances is also a problem; if the resistors are rated 5% then the resistance of 10 kΩ resistors can vary by ±500 Ω. This means more inaccuracy with this sort of reference.

Current Dividers
If two elements are in parallel, the voltage across them must be the same, but the current divides according to the resistances. A simple circuit with two (or more) resistors in parallel with a source is called a current divider.

Figure B: Parallel Resistors.

If a voltage V appears across the resistors in Figure B with only $$R_1$$ and $$R_2$$ for the moment then the current flowing in the circuit, before the division, i is according to Ohms Law.
 * $$i=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}$$

Using the equivalent resistance for a parallel combination of resistors is
 * $$i=\frac{V(R_1+R_2)}{R_1R_2}$$          (1)

The current through $$R_1$$ according to Ohms Law is
 * $$i_1=\frac{V}{R_1}$$           (2)

Dividing equation (2) by (1)
 * $$i_1=\frac{iR_2}{R_2+R_1}$$

Similarly
 * $$i_2=\frac{iR_1}{R_2+R_1}$$

In general with n Resistors the current $$i_x$$ is
 * $$i_x=\frac{iR_1R_2\cdots R_n}{ (R_2\cdots R_n+\cdots+ R_1\cdots R_{n-1}) R_x}$$

Or possibly more simply
 * $$\frac{i_x}{i}=\frac{R_{eq}}{R_x}$$

Where
 * $$R_{eq}=\frac{R_1\cdots R_n}{R_2\cdots R_n+\cdots+ R_1\cdots R_{n-1}}$$

Buddhism/Schools

Introduction
There are many schools of Buddhism while the surviving schools today can be roughly grouped under the categories of Theravāda, Mahāyāna and Vajrayāna schools.

It will be useful for us to look at the circumstances that lead to the divisions among the early Buddhist schools. The division came about due to doctrinal or practical differences in the views of the Buddhist Sangha following the death of the Buddha. The initial split was between Sthaviravāda and Mahāsaṃghika occurred about 100 years after Buddha's death, due to differing views concerning the rigidity of monastic rules.

It is important for us to follow the development of various school of thoughts and how they had developed to what we have today.

List of schools

 * /Theravāda/
 * /Mahāyāna/
 * /Vajrayāna/

Topic talk:Educational leadership

From Frederick Taylor's shovel to W. Edwards Deming's control chart, leadership has come a long ways.

Future of Leadership
What with the confluence of the Net, new leadership skills, and constructivist curriculum - how do we "lead" when the student is leading themselves?
 * By working to create resource-rich learning environments and facilitating the exploration of those environments by students. In the case of a wiki learning environment, the students actively help create and shape the environment. --JWSchmidt 13:14, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Here at Wikiversity we can begin "leading" by helping remove uninteresting obstacles. After the participants jump a few self selected or necessary hurdles, and recieve some assistance from others in sneaking around a few problems of no interest to themselves or their immediate cohorts, their own sense of accomplishment will motivate them to find new challenges of interest to themselves or their buddies.  Part of the trick then is to allow people and teams who are interested to remove obstacles in which others have no interest.  For example, I expect our computer science and software engineering groups will flourish initially attempting to solve problems in supporting learning projects using the wiki interface to integrate the collaboration and organization with other online capabilities.  If this goes well it will enable people who have no interest in software or computers other than as an effective user tool to tackle problems of interest to themselves.

Talk:Recovering from Religion

COI tag (February 2023)
A significant editor appears to have a COI in regard to the topic - flagging just so that we can ensure that it remains NPOV. Bilby (talk) 13:24, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * can you please expand on where you see problems? I have looked over it, and I can't see where there is evidence of a COI or POV editing.  If you can point to something specific, then we can start a more productive discussion.--Gronk Oz (talk) 23:15, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I received an email stating that one of the main editors has a COI in regard to the topic. I looked into it, and it does appear to be the case. Because of the COI, this needs to be independently checked for neutrality, so I tagged it as such. - Bilby (talk) 00:01, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Just to add to the above - to be respectful to the editor concerned, who has expressed a wish not to connect their RL identity with their WP account, I am trying to avoid saying who they are. But from your appearance here I gather you know who I'm referring to. Based on that, do you really feel that they do not have a COI? I see an obvious one, so I find it strange that you are saying otherwise. Anyone who has a role which involves promoting an organisation must have a COI when it comes to writing articles about that organisation on WP. - Bilby (talk) 09:04, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * obviously you must not out the person in question. As much as I dislike defending myself against ad hominem attacks, let me set the record straight.  I know nothing about that email; I did not even know there was one until I read your comments above.  I do not know who you are referring to, and I do not know of anybody who has any conflicting role in the organization in question, nor anybody in a role which involves promoting it.  I have never had anything to do with the organization in any form.
 * So if nobody else can see this email then we can't really discuss it; instead we need to focus on the article itself. What specific problems do you see in the article?--Gronk Oz (talk) 11:47, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, we can, because you know who I am talking about. And technically I could pass this on COIN, but I'd really rather not make a fuss. The thing about COI editing is that it can have a number of effects that aren't immediately apparent. The most obvious is an overly positive (or negative) account. I notice that this article has nothing negative to say about the organisation, but is that because they are entirely positive, or because it has been left out? That is something that takes a fair bit of effort to confirm. But other issues can include poor sourcing (the editor knows it is true, so they don't notice that the source is missing or otherwise doesn't cover the claim), expanding claims so that they go beyond the source, or simply emphasising the aspects of the organisation beyond what would be warranted by the coverage.
 * At any rate, I have a lot of respect for you as an editor. If someone is specifically engaged to promote an organisation, and they then become a major editor of that organisation's article on WP, would you agree that they have a COI? And would it then warrant a further examination to look at whether or not the article hasn't been affected by that COI? - Bilby (talk) 12:00, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I also respect you as an editor, but I do not appreciate being called a liar. I repeat: I do not know who you are referring to.  Moving on, you outlined a list of issues that may arise when there is a COI.  But you have not indicated which of these you think affect this article.  I am not sure what you are proposing here: are you going to request that some independent editor is assigned to review the article, looking for problems like you mention?  If so, go for it - I'm not sure what the process is or how you find a suitable editor and get their buy-in, but if they have suitable expertise then it can only help.  Or are you proposing something different?--Gronk Oz (talk) 12:24, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Just as an aside, which I'm very sorry I didn't mention below, I apologise that I did not respond correctly to your statement that you did not know the person involved. I'm sorry for screwing up there, and for making a false accusation by assuming that you did know them. The thing is, I'd really not escalate this, as I respect everyone involved, and I was hoping that this would be a simple problem of just tagging an article and waiting for someone independent to look at it. Maybe it would be best to at least name the editor, as I'm probably making more problems by being overly cautious? Would that help, given that I will not mention their real name, just their WP username? Or do you think that would be a problem. - Bilby (talk) 14:08, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * it really doesn't matter to me (as if my opinion matters!) And I'm not sure it would make a difference either way to whoever ends up doing the review.  My expectation is that they should be looking at the content of the article.  Or am I wrong; should they be reviewing the edits made by a particular editor?  I ask because apart from any COI, this is the sort of subject that could attract editors who have a viewpoint, which could result in similar problems to the ones you describe from the COI - that is why I hope the reviewer would look at it all. Gronk Oz (talk) 06:26, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok. I think there is poor sourcing, as I believe claims are either not supported by the source or have no source. And I'm concerned that there is no negative material on the organisation, when I would expect that an organisation that is specifically opposed to religion would either a) have some negative coverage, or b) not be notable enough to have garnered such coverage. As examples of sourcing issues, in paragraph two, much of the content is unsourced. It has references, but they don't fully support the content. Then in paragraph 5, the reference doesn't include the quote that is being ascribed to MacBain. This is what I tend to find in COI editing.
 * But please, just so that we have a baseline, would you agree that in the scenario I have described, in which an editor is specifically involved with the promotion of an organisation, that they have a COI when it comes to editing WP in regard to that organisation? That would, at least, tell me that we agree as to what might constitute a COI. - Bilby (talk) 12:37, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * And yes, the purpose of the tag isn't a badge of dishonour. As it says, I believe (very strongly) that the article was edited by someone with a COI, so it asks for a neutral editor who is not connected to the subject or the editor concerned to go over the material to confirm that it has not been affected by the COI. I'm finding problems, and normally I'd like to address them, but my intention was to avoid any sort of drama by highlighting the issues and then stepping back, although sadly I haven't been given that opportunity. - Bilby (talk) 13:06, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for giving those examples. And I appreciate your efforts to avoid escalating the matter.  I agree that if somebody holds a position where they are responsible to promote the organization, that would seem to be a prima facie COI.  After our last exchange, I thought I should do some due diligence so I went to the organization's web site, and I checked through the entire list of all their employees and board members.  There is nobody there I recognized.  Lots of articles have COI tags on them and some have been there for a long time; do you think that just adding this tag will attract the attention of a suitable reviewer? Gronk Oz (talk) 14:01, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm hoping that it will. I should note that the organisation also has a team of volunteer ambassadors responsible for promoting the organisation, who are not themselves paid employees. My concern is with that group. While COI is most clear with paid employees, it can extend to anyone who is engaged in promotion, especially with non-profits and groups that rely on unpaid volunteers. - Bilby (talk) 14:12, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree that it isn't just paid relationships that create an interest, and to be doubly sure I checked the guideline which says it applies to "... financial and other relationships. Any external relationship can trigger a conflict of interest." I don't know anywhere I can check the volunteers you mention, so is the next step just to wait and see if somebody independent picks up on the COI tag and does a review? Gronk Oz (talk) 03:55, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I guess so. I'm not aware of any other process short of taking this to COIN. - Bilby (talk) 04:09, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

 * It has been over a month, and no other editors seem to have picked up on the tag. What can we do to attract suitable, independent help?--Gronk Oz (talk) 12:18, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
 * The only thing I've ever known is to wait. The problem is with the original editor who probably should have realised that this was a bad idea. - Bilby (talk) 13:00, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

LASCNN algorithm

In graph theory, LASCNN is a Localized Algorithm for Segregation of Critical/Non-critical Nodes The algorithm works on the principle of distinguishing between critical and non-critical nodes for network connectivity based on limited topology information. The algorithm finds the critical nodes with partial information within a few hops.

This algorithm can distinguish the critical nodes of the network with high precision, indeed, accuracy can reach 100% when identifying non-critical nodes. The performance of LASCNN is scalable and quite competitive compared to other schemes.

Pseudocode
The LASCNN algorithm establishes a k-hop neighbor list and a duplicate free pair wise connection list based on k-hop information. If the neighbors stay connected then the node is non-critical.

Function LASCNN(MAHSN) For ∀ A ∈ MAHSN If (A->ConnList.getSize == 1) then A->SetNonCritical = LEAF Else Continue = TRUE While (Continue == TRUE) Continue = FALSE For ∀ ActiveConn ∈ ConnList If (A∉ActiveConn) then If (A->ConnNeighbors.getSize == 0) A->ConnNeighbors.add(ActiveConn) Continue = TRUE else If (ActiveConn ∩ ConnNeighbors == TRUE) ActiveConn ∪ ConnNeighbors Continue = TRUE Endif Endif Endif End For End While Endif If (A->ConnNeighbors.getSize < A->Neighbors.getSize) A->SetCritical = TRUE else A->SetNonCritical = INTERMEDIATE Endif End For End Function

Implementation
The Critical Nodes application is a Free Open-Source implementation for the LASCNN algorithm. The application was developed in 2013 using Programming Without Coding Technology software.

Begin...
Right, I've set out the basics of SI measurement. I referenced it to the NIST, which is American, but the more proper reference I think would be the BIPM. However, I don't speak French. User:guillom, do you think that you could check for any inconsistencies against the resolutions of the CGPM and perhaps put a bit of spiel in english about the whys and wherefores of the SI unit standard?

What else...

 * Products and fractions of units
 * Meaning of significant figures and the practice of abbreviating a given value to the minimum accuracy of the original information
 * A.O.B

Sojourner001 11:00, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Prefixes
Not entirely happy about the section on prefixes. Is it really necessary, particularly at the start of the lesson? I don't know about anyone else, but I don't use unit prefixes much at all; it's both clearer and easier to work with units in standard form. Just because many (often poor) textbooks have them, doesn't mean they're useful or relevant. Sojourner001 11:03, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello, It is very important for the beginning student to have a table to translate these common prefixes into scientific notation. It also acts as a point of familiarity, as the student may already be familiar with centimeters, decibels, kilowatts, and so forth in their everyday life, and here they see them again, only completely explained and put into context. We are not going to have exercises on trivial things like this, but it's good for the student who may want to translate something in the real world into the units we will be using for their own exploratory purposes. The student should never feel that physics is disconnected from the real world around them. The unit prefixes also highlights the part played by order of magnitude in calculations and measurement. A student can usually tell the great difference between a kilogram and a gram, and when one would use one over the other, but just talking about measuring using multiples of 103 versus 10 isn't really a good connection to everyday experience.

Talk:Electronics/Electrons

Protons and neutrons combine to form the atom's nucleus (a force called the strong force holds the protons together), with electrons circling them at a relatively great distance (held near the protons by the fact that they are oppositely charged). (is this even an accurate way to think of it? quantum mechanics, probabilities, etc.)

>> In all reality, getting in to quantum mechanics wouldn't benefit the reader. It's more or less a lesson on the basics of an atom. Getting into quantum mechanics may show how smart you are, but in the end probably won't help someone that is trying to understand.

 * That's very true. Hmm...  I just don't want to give out information that is incorrect, which will confuse them if they ever want to learn more about it, you know?  Like when they teach very basic electricity in high school physics, and you have to "unlearn" things that were simplified (like current direction) in order to learn in-depth electronics later.  We can say things like "the electrons are orbiting the nucleus in shells" but then clarify that in reality this is just a model, which works well for electronics but is not what physicists currently use.  I don't even know about the quantum mechanics myself, I only know that electrons spinning around in shells is not really an accurate idea anymore; it has to do with clouds of probability and electron waves and weird things like that. - Omegatron

 * The debate on 'electron clouds' vs. 'shells' and such probably should be left for a molecular physics textbook. I agree that the idea of shells is simple and easy to learn, although may be slightly flawed in today's sense. For what we're dealing with though, I think we should concentrate on the atom, electrons, and how they pertain to electricity in general. Leave the other stuff for someone that wants to get more in-depth. I know the feeling when you are really skilled at something and cringe at basic lessons and certain incorrect things, but they are a neccesary evil.

 * I agree with Omegatron, you should not give misleading information. I would just give the very basics and leave it at that.  You can see my attempt to explain the basic physics Electron_Device_Modeling:Semiconductor_Physics.  Both the 'electron clouds' and 'shells' are just models.  I have used the shells explanation.  Basically no two electrons can share the same orbit (which is a wave).  There are a number of orbits with different energies (shells).  The first energy level contains two orbits, second energy level contains 8 orbits, ect.  Electrons can jump between orbits in a quantum leap.  So the electrons are not spinning in shells, the shells represent the energy level of the electron in the electron cloud.  Peterblockley 22:58, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

 * The problem is that this is really hard to understand for someone with no background in the quantum physics. I'm sure it's really easy for you to understand, however the problem is you forget how you interpreted things when you did not know any at all. Your type of articles seem to be targeted at people that already have background in modern physics and a university degree / college diploma.

 * who is this book targeted at? It says a 1st or 2nd year level.  Is this High school?  Or university?  Im not advocating using Electron_Device_Modeling:Semiconductor_Physics for this book (that is why its in a separate book).  On a more general note, is it possible to combine both a full explanation as well as a simplified explanation?  Seems to me this may be possible with the internet as a medium.  What do you think? Peterblockley 03:39, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

 * It's not true to say that "no two electrons can share the same orbit". If you are going to get into QM you should not talk about orbits at all! QM says that no two electrons can have the same set of quantum numbers. If you think of an "orbit" as being The average distance from the nucleus, (Which is the only sensible way to do it IMO) then there are 2 electrons in the very first orbit. It's all getting way too complicated. Why not just say with electrons to be found at a relatively great distance (held near the protons by the fact that they are oppositely charged). By removing the circling word you get rid of an untruth but don't make it too difficult. Theresa knott 06:56, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

 * "The aim of this textbook is to educate someone with little or no previous experience in electronics to a 1 or 2 year level."

Basically we're trying to teach someone that hasn't touched electronics before from ground up. 1-2 year level meaning up to college/university. So basically, start from ground 0 and head up.

Economy?
In the economy section it says: 'Carbon Beach has been described as "the world's most expensive sandbox" with an estimated real estate cost of greater than US$200,000 per square foot.'

That can't be correct. At that rate, a 5000 sq/ft home (not uncommon in Malibu) would cost a billion dollars. A simple Google search for "Carbon Beach real estate" shows most homes in the 20-40 million range. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:31, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

I see (as of April 2015) this section has been changed from "US$200,000 per square foot" to "US$200,000 per foot of beachfront." That's much more realistic. Thanks for the update.

2019 World Athletics Championships – Men's 10,000 metres

The men's 10,000 metres at the 2019 World Athletics Championships was held at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha on 6 October 2019.

Summary
Seventeen of the twenty-one starters were born in Eastern Africa, a familiar situation for long distance events. Here the Kenyan team of Rhonex Kipruto and Rodgers Kwemoi took to the front to keep the pace fast and returning silver medalist Joshua Cheptegei, who was a favorite after the track retirement of Mo Farah, was also near the front. By the 5,000 metre mark at 13:33.20 (27:07 pace), only 10 had fallen off the back. Nine laps later, Cheptegei took over the front and two more fell off the back, though Hagos Gebrhiwet, Yemaneberhan Crippa and Lopez Lomong were barely hanging on to the fast-pace. Behind Cheptegei, the 19 year old Kipruto and the tall figure of the new indoor mile record holder Yomif Kejelcha looking like he was waiting to unleash that shorter distance speed. After Mohammed Ahmed fell off the back with 500 meters to go, the group was still five, single file, with Cheptegei still leading the race. Running through traffic at the bell, Kwemoi and Andamlak Belihu couldn't keep up and it looked like the medalsts were decided. Down the final backstretch, Kejelcha moved right onto Cheptegei's shoulder then into a slight lead. The gap left Kipruto running for bronze. As they entered the final turn Cheptegei kept Kejelcha on his outside, while he ran the shorter distance along the inside. Coming off the turn, Cheptegei had the speed, separating slightly from Kejelcha, growing to a 5 metre lead by the finish and claiming gold.

In 2024, both Kipruto and Kwemoi's results regarding the 2019 World Athletics Championships were disqualified, resulting in Andamlak Belihu receiving the bronze medal.

Records
Before the competition records were as follows:

The following records were set at the competition:

Qualification standard
The standard to qualify automatically for entry was 27:40.00.

Only 18 qualifiers did it in the period: Onesphore Nzikwinkunda (BDI) 28:11.90, Rodrigue Kwizéra (BDI), and Thierry Ndikumwenayo (BDI), were qualified during Cross Country Championships (top finishing position at designated competitions – automatically qualifies, irrespective of whether his performance has reached the Entry Standard). Soufiane Bouchikhi and Yeman Crippa were invited to complete the event for Ranking.

Professional life
His major work includes Railway Platform (1955), Shola Aur Shabnam (1961) and Ishq Par Zor Nahin (1970).

He was instrumental in giving veteran actor Sunil Dutt a break in the film Railway Platform (1955) when Sunil Dutt was hosting the show, Lipton Ki Mehfil on Radio Ceylon. While covering the Dilip Kumar movie Shikast in 1953, Dutt met director Ramesh Saigal, who impressed by his personality and voice, offered him a role in his upcoming movie. Ramesh Saigal coined the new screen name "Sunil Dutt" for the debutante actor whose real name was Balraj Dutt to avoid name conflicts with the then veteran actor Balraj Sahni.

Congressional Record: Ervin Litkei was honored with mention in the U.S.ACongressional Record, vol. 126 No. 10, "Proceedings and Debates of the 96th Congress, Second Session. Dateline: Washington, Monday, January 28, 1980. The Honorable Richard T. Schulze of Pennsylvania in the House of Representatives thus spake: Mr. Speaker, I have recently been contacted by a very talented song writer and personal friend of mine, Mr. Ervin Litkei, who along with his lovely wife Andrea has written a very timely song on the crisis in Iran. The song appropriately titled "The Captured 50" represents, I believe, the true sentiments of the American people and vividly captures the frustrations we all share as this seemingly unendning crisis in Tehran nears the end of the 12th week. Additionally, I would like to mention that Ervin Litkei, a native of Hungary who emigrated to the United States shortly after World War II, is not a new song composer but is an individual who has gained national recognition by penning marches in tribute to all U. S. Presidents. These marches were incorporated within an album marketed by RCA Records during our Bicentennial celebration and provided, I feel, a lasting tribute to our former Chief Executives. When asked to explain the genesis of this recording, Ervin responded: I was sure that I would not write anymore. at least so I thought. However, after the Iranian takeover of our Embassy and the holding of Americans as hostages I went to the piano to vent my anger and fury over this unprecedented situation. At this time, Mr. Speaker, I would like to submit for the Recordthe lyrics of this fine composition and add my own sentiments in support of this important message. We must all remember that freedom is a precious thing and that once lost can never be regained-- we must fight tirelessly for the freedom of the 50 hostages in Iran. The lyrics of this composition follow: '''The Captured 50 (Lyric by Andrea and Ervin Litkei and music by Ervin Litkei)

No! We won't let you down. Captured fifty sons, Our martyrs in Iran. No! You won't die. Our nation is behind you, The whole world is beside you Americans Americans unite. Under freedom's banner, March and swear that never Will a native son a hostage be. No! We won't let you down. Captured fifty sons. Our Martyrs in Iran. No, We will fight. You are not alone, hold on! If we must then watch us come Fightin mad we'll get you out of Iran, Iran. ©''' Ervin Litkei's companies included: 1066 Media is the parent company of all of Litkei's companies and it's assets. Run by Litkei's son in law, musician and music executive Jeff Greene, 1066 Media is currently in the process of restarting all of the interests, the music and history of Litkei's former companies, as well as the legacy and works of Dr. Nandor Fodor, paranormal authority and Litkei's father in law, author of numerous books on psychoanalysis and paranormal phenomena, including the respected Encyclopedia of Psychic Science. Acashic Aurora(ASCAP) is 1066 Media's publishing company for all of Litkei's music. Ralph Slovenko quotes Ervin Litkei in his book, "Law in Psychiatry/Psychiatry in Law": " "By watching the way soldiers march, it is possible to know their country. Ervin Litkei, composer of patriotic marches observed that "When Americans are marching you can feel the lightness. They don't have the heavy steps like the Germans or Russians."

Wikiversity talk:Guided tour

A first attempt
Well, something for starters :-) --HappyCamper 19:06, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Proposed merge
While this page served a very usefull purposed in the initial days, Introduction has risen as a very nice replacement to this page. I propose this page's information be merged into the Introduction (and most of it already has) and then this page redirect there. I've created a couple of diagrams to explain my thought process here:

Vs.

Among other things, I'm trying to study how Wikiversity teaches new users. From the main page a new user will get the most from Wikiversity if they follow the green path, but more experienced users have the option of following the pink or orange path. Removing the blue path but still providing all the relavent links would streamline things a bit. - Trevor MacInnis 15:27, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Shall I take the lack of replies as meaning nobody opposes (or even cares about/watches this page)? I'll start the merge as soon as I'm sure all the applicable info on this page is addressed at the Intro - Trevor MacInnis 00:43, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Maybe there could really be a guided tour like this one. --JWSchmidt 04:28, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * That's an great idea! I'll start right away! - Trevor MacInnis 17:45, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Ok, it's started, but I'm not sure how many/which pages should be toured. Suggestions? - Trevor MacInnis 19:31, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Are the Jacks in ft. lauderdale and pompano part of the same chain? it doesnt it seem like it -Keith

 * I can't say for sure, especially since they don't seem to have their own web site, but probably not. That chain's official name seems to be Jack's Old Fashion Hamburgers.  AFAIK, the Alabama Jack's never went by that name. --Lkseitz 11:48, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Lady of Ro

Despina Achladiotou (Δέσποινα Αχλαδιώτου), more commonly known as the Lady of Ro (Κυρά της Ρω), was a Greek patriot who lived on the island of Ro; part of the small archipelago of Kastellórizo. She was notable for being the sole resident of the island, and for daily raising the Greek flag, from the time she arrived there until her death.

Biography
Despina Achladiotou was born on the island of Kastellorizo, in c. 1890. In 1927, she sailed with her husband, Kostas Achladiotis (Κώστας Αχλαδιώτης), to the nearby deserted island of Ro where they lived off of a few goats, chickens, and a vegetable garden. In 1940, her husband got sick, Achladiotou started three fires in order to inform the residents of Kastelorizo that they needed help, but her husband died on a boat which came to help. Achladiotou then brought her blind mother to the island, while later she personally rowed her mother's remains back to Kastellorizo for burial. She has been compared to Joan d'Arc and Boudica.

Achladiotou's most renowned deed is that every day she would fly a Greek flag over the island, even though the island was not formally part of Greece (as with the rest of the Dodecanese controlled by Italy) until 1948. During World War II, she helped the members of the Sacred Band against the Axis powers.

She raised the flag every day, regardless of the weather, from the time she arrived on the island until her death on May 13, 1982, at the age of 92. Despite not having veteran status, she was buried on the island with full military honors.

A Greek military unit is now based on the island, with the main duty of keeping the tradition of raising the flag.

Cookbook:Borscht

| Ukrainian Cuisine | Soups

Borscht, or borsch is a hearty beetroot vegetable soup considered to originate from Ukraine or Western Russia. The soup is part of the local culinary heritage of many Eastern and Central European nations. It is also a staple dish in Eastern Europe, and made its way into United States cuisine by way of Jewish immigrants (as well as other Eastern Europeans).

Recipes of borscht vary, but beetroot is an essential ingredient.

Soup

 * 1½ cups thinly-sliced potatoes (about 3 small potatoes)
 * 1 cup thinly-sliced beets.
 * 4 cups water
 * 1–2 tablespoons butter
 * 1½ cups chopped onion (about ⅓ of a large onion)
 * 1½ teaspoons salt
 * 1 stalk celery, chopped
 * 1 medium carrot, chopped
 * 3–4 cups shredded cabbage (about ⅓ of a large cabbage)
 * a little fresh-ground black pepper
 * 1 teaspoon dill weed
 * 1–2 tablespoons cider vinegar
 * 1–2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
 * 1 cup tomato purée or ¼ to ½ cup tomato paste

Garnish

 * Sour cream or yogurt
 * Dill weed

Procedure

 * 1) Place the potatoes, beets, and water in a medium-sized saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat until tender (20–30 minutes). While that is cooking, proceed with the recipe.
 * 2) Melt the butter in a Dutch oven/soup pot. Add the onion and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent (8–10 minutes).
 * 3) Add the celery, carrots, cabbage, and 2 cups of the water in which the potatoes and beets are cooking. Cover and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are tender (8–10 minutes).
 * 4) Add the remaining soup ingredients (including the potatoes, beets, and the rest of the water in which they are cooking). Cover and simmer for at least 15 more minutes. Correct the seasonings. If it is too thin, let it simmer uncovered, and maybe add a little more tomato paste.
 * 5) Serve hot, topped with sour cream or yoghurt and sprinkled with dill. If desired the sour cream or yoghurt can be served with the soup and used as a condiment to taste.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * A sour environment is essential for the authentic taste and preservation of the red color, but excessive amount of acetic acid from the vinegar (esp. distilled) causes a sharp restaurant smell and taste. The cider vinegar can be replaced with sauerkraut or extra tomatoes.
 * Ukrainian Cabbage Soup (Kapusniak)
 * Montreal Russian Borscht
