The international folklore festival Parbeg laivelis is one of the largest celebrations of ethnic culture in Western Lithuania. It is arranged every second year in the port city Klaipeda. Its characteristic feature is the attention to authenticity.

Performers from different Lithuanian regions and abroad are invited to the festival. They dance, sing and participate at evening-parties and processions. Demonstrative workshops of crafts, different exhibitions, presentations of food and kitchen traditions of different nations and specific Klaipeda regional fairs are arranged during this folklore festivity. Companies from England, Greece, India, Japan, Croatia, Latvia, Poland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine, Germany, Portugal, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Belgium and Italy have already performed at the festival.

Water is the axis of the massive folklore festivity; that's why the events of the festival usually move from ordinary stages and squares to the waterfront. Concerts are held near the river Dane or right in it, in the waters of the Curonian Bay, onboard the moored ships in the quays. Parbeg laivelis is listed in the festival calendar of the international folk-art organization CIOFF under UNESCO.

The Definition of Deontology: ethics, especially that branch dealing with duty, moral obligation, and right action. TOPICS: Euthanasia, Abortion, Capital Punishment, etc. Most Famous Deontologist:  Immanuel Kant  /space/showimage/img_kant.jpgbr />

DEONTOLOGY
Deontology refers to a general category of ethical or moral theories that define right action in terms of duties and moral rules. Deontologists focus on the rightness of an act and not on what results from the act. Right action may end up being pleasant or unpleasant for the agent, may meet with approval or condemnation from others, and may produce pleasure, riches, pain, or even go unnoticed. What is crucial on this view is that right action is required, and that the goal of moral behavior is simply that it is performed. The slogan of much of deontology is that the right is independent of the good. Deontology is opposed, therefore, to consequentialist or teleological theories in which the goal of moral behavior is the achievement of some good or beneficial state of affairs for oneself or for others. For deontologists, the end of moral action is the very performance of it.

For consequentialists, moral action is a means to some further end. There are three central questions that any deontological theory of ethics must answer. First, what is the content of duty? Which rules direct us to morally right action? Second, why must we follow exactly those duties and rules, and not others? That is, what grounds them or validates them as moral requirements? Third, what is the logic of these duties or rules? Can their claims on us be delayed or defeated? Can they make conflicting claims on us? The relevance of deontological ethics to issues in science and technology is not immediately obvious.

Typical duties or rules in these theories are often quite abstract and sometimes address personal morality; hence they seem ill suited to broad and complicated questions in technical fields. As a matter of personal morality, deontologists might require us never to lie or steal, to give to charity, and to avoid unnecessary harm to people and animals. These rules are already internalized in most of us, and are supported by religious, social, and civil institutions, and in some cases by enlightened self-interest. But is there a duty to support open source software, or to reject nanotechnology, or to avoid animal experimentation for human products? What list of rules is relevant to moral quandaries over cloning or information privacy? Though the connection between duties and our practices in science and technology may be hard to grasp, it is also clear that deontology can and should play an important role in evaluating these practices.

To await an accounting of the consequences of activities in these areas is perilous, since these consequences are often impossible to anticipate and very difficult to repair. As Edward Tenner has pointed out, modern technology seems to exact a kind of revenge in the scope and severity of unintended consequences. Two deontological theories, from the works of Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) and W.D. Ross (1877-1971), serve as the foundations for much work in deontological ethics. Since they differ significantly in the content, grounds, and logic of duties, it will be useful to examine them in greater detail.

KANT’S CATEGORICAL IMPERATIVE
The ethical theory of Immanuel Kant is regarded as the most important deontological ethic in Western philosophy. Scholars now agree that Kant provided not so much a list of duties as a procedure for determining duties. The procedure that specifies the content of duty is the categorical imperative or “unconditional command” of morality. Kant explained the categorical imperative in several distinct forms. Even though these forms give us several ways of generating duties, Kant maintained that his systematic ethic of duties was rigorous—that no duties would conflict, in practice.

The two forms that are most often called “the” categorical imperative go as follows: “Act only on that maxim through which you can at the same time will that it become a universal law.” (Formal version) A maxim in Kant’s theory is a plan of action, so here he gives us an ethical test for our intended actions, presumably to be used before we commit them. The point of the test is that we ought to be able to endorse the “universal” acceptability of the plans or intentions behind our actions. We should not be partial to our plans simply because they are ours; they must be acceptable from any point of view. Maxims that cannot be universalized will produce logical contradiction or “disharmony” when they are run through the test of the categorical imperative.

The grounding or validation of this principle lies in the universality of practical reason. For Kant, our ethical duties arise from what is common to us as rational beings. Humans have a kind of freedom which is gained in “creating” universal moral laws in our intentional behavior—a kind of self-legislation or autonomy that allows us to transcend our animal nature. The ability of humans to act from freely chosen moral rules explains the special moral status we enjoy; humans are, according to Kant, “ends-in-themselves.” Consequently, this status gives rise to another formulation of the categorical imperative: ”Act in such a way that you always treat humanity [yours or another person's] never merely as a means but always at the same time as an end-in-itself.”

This special moral status or intrinsic value implies that humans ought never to be valued as less significant than things that have merely instrumental value. Things of instrumental value are mere tools, and though they can be traded off with one another, they can never be more important than intrinsically valuable things. Significantly, all technology is in some sense a mere tool; no matter how many resources our society pours into technologies, the moral status of humans is supposed to trump the value of mere tools. Kantian duties are designed to protect that status. The application of Kant’s theory to issues in the ethics of technology produces some intriguing questions. Do some technologies help persons treat others as mere means?

To investigate this question, we would have to turn our ethical attention to aspects of the technologies themselves. These aspects might include the anonymity of online communities, the distributed effects of computer viruses, and the externalizing of costs by polluting corporations. Further, we might ask whether some technologies themselves treat persons as mere means? Such a worry is similar to Heidegger’s view that, under modern technology, humanity becomes a “standing reserve” to be exploited, and to Marcuse’s claim that such a technological society debases humans by providing a “smooth comfortable unfreedom.” While these critics of technology do not identify themselves as Kantians, the influence of Kant’s humanistic account of duties has been so deep and broad that it is almost inescapable. Still, there are deontologists who have parted ways with the Kantian tradition.

PRIMA FACIE DUTIES
According to the British philosopher W.D. (Sir David) Ross, our moral duties are not universal and unconditional constraints of universal practical reason. Rather, they are conditional or prima facie obligations to act which arise out of the various relations in which we stand to others: neighbor, friend, parent, debtor, fellow citizen, and the like. It is through moral reflection that we apprehend these duties as being grounded in the nature of our situated relations.

Duty is something that, for Ross, arises between people, and not merely within the rational being as such. What exactly these prima facie duties are is not infallibly known until the problematic situations present themselves. Nonetheless, Ross thinks, we can sketch some obvious basic forms of duties. Fidelity, reparation, gratitude, justice, beneficence, self-improvement, and non-maleficence are what he identifies as non-reducible categories of duty—he admits that there may be other categories.

Ultimately, these duties are known by moral intuition and are objectively part of the world of moral relations and circumstances that we inhabit. Much as we know, in the right moment, what word “fits” in a poem, so too can we know what to do when duty makes demands on us. Sometimes we will intuit that more than one duty applies, and in these cases we must judge which duty carries more weight in order to resolve the conflict.

HANS JONAS AND THE IMPERATIVE OF RESPONSIBILITY
While Kant and Ross argued specifically against consequentialist theories in explaining their respective deontological views, other theorists are motivated by concerns over consequences in ways that influence the content of duties. Such is the case with the “imperative of responsibility” put forward by Hans Jonas. Jonas calls for a new formula of duty because he thinks that traditional ethical theories are not up to the task of protecting the human species in light of the power of modern technology.

His worry relates directly to the irreversible damage that modern technology could do to biosphere, and hence to the human species. Since we can now radically change nature through technology, we must change our ethics to constrain that power. In language intentionally reminiscent of Kant’s categorical imperative, Jonas gives his formula of duty as follows: “Act so that the effects of your action are compatible with the permanence of genuine human life” or so that they are “not destructive of the future possibility of such life.”

Referring to Kant’s first or formal version of the categorical imperative, Jonas criticizes its reliance on the test of logical consistency to establish duties. There is no logical contradiction, he notes, in preferring the well-being of the present generation to that of future generations, or in allowing the extinction of the human species by despoiling the biosphere.

The imperative of responsibility, as a deontological ethic, differs from the ethics of Kant and Ross because it claims that we owe something to others who are not now alive. For Jonas, our rational nature or our particular, situated relations do not exhaustively define our duties. Indeed, we will never be in situated relationships with people in far-off generations, but our remoteness in time does not absolve us of responsibilities to them.

ARE ALL DUTIES DEONTOLOGICAL?
Most professional codes of ethics in science and engineering consist of duties and rules. Does it follow that their authors tacitly accept the deontological orientation in ethics? That is does not provide an important lesson about the choice between deontology and other ethical orientations. The primary difference between professional codes and deontological ethical theories is that, in the former, the duties or rules are put forth as instrumental for competent or even excellent conduct within the particular profession.

Some duties are directed towards the interests of clients or firms, but ultimately the performance of these duties supports the particular profession. The grounding of duties in professional codes resembles the function of rules under rule utilitarianism. (See Consequentialism) These rules would not be morally required for the general public, as would the rules of a deontological ethic. Professional codes are tools to improve the profession; the end of right action, in this case, is dependent upon the good of the profession, and the content of duties will depend on the particular views of the authors concerning that good.

FURTHER APPLICATIONS AND CHALLENGES
Duty ethics have been applied with some success in technical fields where consequentialist or utilitarian reasoning seems inappropriate. In biomedical ethics we generally accept the argument that do-not-resuscitate orders and living wills are to be respected, even where doing so means death for the patient and possibly great unhappiness for loved ones. In computer ethics, the argument for privacy of personal data does not generally depend on the use to which “stolen” data would be put. It is the principle, and not the damage, that is at issue. There also seem to be lines of a deontological sort that “cannot be crossed” when it comes to some forms of experimentation on animals and treatment of human research subjects.

For some emerging technologies, there are well-grounded deontological reasons for opposing research and practices that eventually could yield great benefits. No one denies the good of the end, but they do deny that the end justifies any and all means. Where the claims of duties are not well grounded, a deontological approach to ethics runs the risk of sounding reactionary and moralistic.

Carlos Toshiki & Omega Tribe

Carlos Toshiki & Omega Tribe (カルロス・トシキ&オメガトライブ) was a Japanese band from Tokyo, Japan. Originally formed as 1986 Omega Tribe (1986オメガトライブ), the original 1986 formation consisted of Japanese Brazilian vocalist Carlos Toshiki, rhythm guitarist Shinji Takashima, lead guitarist Teruka Kurokawa, and keyboardist Toshitsugu Nishihara. Kurokawa's departure from the band in March 1988, as well as its outdated year, caused the band to be renamed to Carlos Toshiki & Omega Tribe, with American vocalist Joey McCoy officially joining the band in July 1988.

Part of the Omega Tribe project by producer Koichi Fujita, the band was created by Fujita as a way to continue the project after the disbandment of S. Kiyotaka & Omega Tribe the previous year; Takashima and Nishihara had previously been in that band, and had expressed opposition to their disbandment. As 1986 Omega Tribe, the band released two albums, Navigator (1986) and Crystal Night (1987), both of which reached the top three on the Oricon Albums Chart. As Carlos Toshiki & Omega Tribe, they released four albums, Down Town Mystery (1988), Be Yourself (1989), Bad Girl (1989), and Natsuko (1990). The songs "Kimi ha 1000%" and "Aquamarine no Mama de Ite" are considered Toshiki's signature songs during his time as Omega Tribe's vocalist.

Like its predecessor, recordings were done by session musicians, though members of the band were given more leeway with compositions, with all the members writing at least one song. The band broke up on March 16, 1991, after a final tour.

1985–1986: Formation and debut as 1986 Omega Tribe
Toshiki was a Japanese Brazilian who was working part-time in Japan as a dishwasher and had made demo tapes with covers of English-language songs that were distributed to various companies, one of them being given to Fujita. Fujita invited Toshiki and asked him to cover "Futari no Natsu Monogatari" and "Silence ga Ippai" for an audition, and after practicing, passed the audition at VAP's recording studio and was chosen as Omega Tribe's new vocalist. After Toshiki was made the vocalist of a new group, Fujita had guitarist Shinji Takashima and keyboardist Toshitsugu Nishihara, both previously part of S. Kiyotaka & Omega Tribe, join the band. He also hired guitarist Teruka Kurokawa, who was part of Momoko Kikuchi's backing band and made him the bandleader.

To help Toshiki get into the aesthetic of the band, as well as to get to know him better, Fujita took him to Hawaii. During the trip, Toshiki commented on the similarity between the Japanese word for "thousand" (千) and the Portuguese word for "hundred" (cem), which Fujita also found interesting, contacting a lyricist to create a song based on the pronunciations. The song would become 1986 Omega Tribe's debut single, "Kimi ha 1000%", which Toshiki sang without understanding most of the lyrics.

1986–1988: Initial success and Kurokawa's departure
"Kimi ha 1000%" was an instant hit, reaching 6th place on the Oricon Singles Chart and becoming one of Toshiki's signature songs. They released their debut album Navigator on July 23, 1986, which reached 2nd place on the Oricon Albums Chart and won them an award from the Recording Industry Association of Japan. The album featured a swordfish on the cover, which became a symbol of the band during the 1986 era, as well as having "resort-like lyrics" for the new era of Omega Tribe. On August 7, 1986, the band released their second single, "Super Chance", which was written by lyricist Masao Urino charted at 2nd place on the Oricon Singles Chart. The band started production on their second album, Crystal Night near the end of 1986, with the production team showing an interest in electric sounds based on American black contemporary music, releasing the album on February 4, 1987.

In March 1987, the band started production for a third album. Kurokawa left the band in the middle of the production in March due to health issues, and with the outdated name, it was decided to rename the band Carlos Toshiki & Omega Tribe. They released the first single under that name, "Down Town Mystery", on March 9, 1998, later releasing the album of the same name on April 6, 1988. Both the single and the album had two different versions, the Nighttime version and the Daylight version, mixed by two different engineers.

1988–1991: Name change and disbandment
The band started work on their next studio album Be Yourself in March 1988, releasing the single "Aquamarine no Mama de Ite" on August 10, 1988, which peaked at 3rd place on the single's chart. With Kurokawa's absence, Fujita wanted another member to help with the stage visuals, deciding to hire backing singer Joey McCoy as he participated in the recordings and live performances. In November 1988, McCoy joined as an official member with the song "Reiko", sung by McCoy and released in both Japanese and English. Be Yourself was released on February 8, 1989, and began working on a follow-up album in the next seven months. On September 21, 1989, they released the album Bad Girl, which featured a more active participation by the members in the production. All four of the members had compositions and the album was pop rock-oriented, unlike their previous albums.

On June 25, 1990, they released their final single "Toki wa Kagerō", which was written by singer Yumi Matsutoya and later featured on her 1990 album Tengoku no Door. The band released their final album, Natsuko on July 25, 1990, their only album after their transfer to Warner Pioneer. During the production of Natsuko, there was a dissonance between the production team and the members, as well as between the members themselves. Fujita and Toshiki disagreed about the selection of songs that would be in the album, with Fujita eventually leaving most of the production to the members, especially Toshiki. On December 14, 1990, the band announced that they would be disbanding following a final tour that began on February 21, 1991, disbanding after the tour's final performance on March 16, 1991.

2017–present: Resurgence
Although Toshiki retired from music in 1995, he returned with a tour with the jazz band B-EDGE in 2017 on the 31st anniversary of his debut. They released one album, Nova Nostalgia (2018), which featured covers of Omega Tribe songs from his era as the vocalist. On February 24, 2021, VAP released the compilation album To Your Summertime Smile for the band's 35th anniversary which included remixed versions of 1986 Omega Tribe songs. On June 15, 2022, VAP and Warner Music Japan released separate editions of the remix album The Reverb 2022 Omega Tribe, which was supervised by Hiroshi Shinkawa.

Mo (Korean surname)

Mo (모) is an uncommon Korean surname. It originated from either of two hanja ( or ), which are also used respectively to write the Chinese surnames Móu or Máo. The 2000 South Korean census found a total of 19,834 people and 6,110 households with these surnames. The surname is spelled Mo in all standard methods of romanizing the Korean language. In a study by the National Institute of the Korean Language based on 2007 application data for South Korean passports, all the applicants spelled this surname as Mo. The alternative spelling Moh is occasionally seen.

More common lineage
Bori Mo, also called so uneun sori Mo , is the more common of the two hanja used to write the surname Mo. This character was originally used to write a Chinese surname now pronounced Móu in Mandarin. In 1960 it was the 92nd-most common surname in South Korea, falling to 93rd by 1985. The 2000 South Korean census found 18,955 people with this family name, and 5,838 households. The surviving bon-gwan (origin of a clan lineages, not necessarily the current residence of clan members) at that time included:

 * Hampyeong, South Jeolla (see Hampyeong Mo clan): 17,939 people and 5,546 households. They claim descent from Mo Kyŏng (모경; ), who came from the Hongnong Commandery (in present-day Henan), China to Korea, and aided in suppressing the rebellion by Yi Cha-gyŏm during the reign of Injong of Goryeo.
 * Jinju, South Gyeongsang: 972 people and 285 households. They are likely a branch of the Hampyeong Mo clan. They claim descent from Mo Sun, an official during the reign of Taejo of Joseon.
 * Naju, South Jeolla: Two people and zero households.
 * Other or unknown: 34 people and seven households.

Less common lineage
Teoreok Mo is the less common of the two hanja used to write the surname Mo. This character was originally used to write a Chinese surname now pronounced Máo in Mandarin.

The surviving bon-gwan at that time included:
 * Gongju, South Chungcheong: 352 people and 114 households. The founding ancestor of the clan is not known.

Mackenzie Thomason

Mackenzie Thomason (born July 29, 1997) is a Canadian politician and former leader of the New Brunswick New Democratic Party.

Early life and family
Thomason grew up in Tracy, New Brunswick until the age of 11 when his family moved to Alberta. He returned to New Brunswick upon acceptance to the University of New Brunswick.

Before becoming interim leader of the New Brunswick New Democratic Party, he worked for UPS and as a newspaper carrier in Fredericton. He is currently a bus driver in Fredericton.

Political career
Thomason first became involved with politics during the 2015 Alberta general election where Rachel Notley's Alberta New Democratic Party won a majority government. He later volunteered with the federal New Democratic Party during the 2015 Canadian federal election in the Fredericton area.

During the 2018 New Brunswick general election, Thomason ran in New Maryland—Sunbury. He was named interim leader of the New Brunswick New Democratic Party in March 2019. In 2019 federal election, he ran as the NDP candidate in Fredericton. Thomason led the New Brunswick NDP into the 2020 provincial election, he unsuccessfully ran in Fredericton North and the NDP did not win any seats in the legislature.

Thomason had intended to only lead the party until a new leader was found. A leadership election that had been scheduled for August 2019 was postponed until June 2020 due to a lack of candidates and then was postponed again until April 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, when Premier Blaine Higgs called a snap election for September 14, 2020, he led the party through the election campaign, saying beforehand that he was in "a little bit of panic" at the prospects of leading the party in an election campaign, saying, "It wasn't something I ever thought of when I first signed up for the job." Thomason positioned the party further to the left than in previous campaigns, in order to distinguish the party from the Green Party and the Liberals. He told CBC News: "I think it's really about making sure that we cement our values... A lot of this back and forth between centre and centre left, it's not working. It's not working for the party. It's not working for electoral chances. It's definitely not working for New Brunswickers."

He participated in the televised leaders' debate on September 3, 2020, saying that the province may have to continue to run deficits in order to ensure people had access “to the services they pay for.”

Thomason's campaign focussed on bringing in a $15/hour minimum wage, senior care, making prescription medicine affordable, as well as reducing and eventually eliminating tuition for post-secondary education.

In the 2020 New Brunswick general election, the NDP failed to win a seat, and received only 1.7% of the vote province-wide. Thomason resigned as interim leader on November 15, 2020.

Thomason reassumed the NDP leadership on September 14, 2021 when he was acclaimed as permanent leader. He resigned eight months later, due to internal turmoil.

Eddie Vartan

Edmond Vartan (10 August 1937 – 19 June 2001) was a French musician, bandleader, arranger, and record producer of Armenian descent.

Life and career
Vartan was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, and moved to France with his parents and younger sister Sylvie in 1952. He worked as a trumpet player in Paris jazz clubs, including the Blue Note, and in 1961 gave up his law studies to work as a full-time musician and A&R man for Decca Records.

He worked with jazz enthusiast Daniel Filipacchi on the radio programme Pour ceux qui aiment le jazz ("For those who love jazz"). They also wrote songs together, including "Le transistor", a 1961 hit in France for Frankie Jordan, and then worked on the popular radio show Salut les copains. After Jordan recorded "Panne d'essence" (a version of Floyd Robinson's "Out of Gas") as a duet with Sylvie Vartan, her brother Eddie continued to work with both artists in the early 1960s. He also released records under his own name as a bandleader, and worked with many French singers, notably as the musical director and producer of Johnny Hallyday, who became Sylvie's husband. Among the musicians regularly used by Vartan was English guitarist Mick Jones, later of Spooky Tooth and Foreigner. Eddie Vartan became a leading producer in the French yé-yé pop scene of the 1960s, and also produced Nick Garrie's cult 1969 LP, The Nightmare of J. B. Stanislas. As a songwriter, Vartan's successes included "Jésus-Christ", a 1970 hit for Johnny Hallyday.

Vartan also worked on film soundtracks, notably working on the 1968 film À tout casser and also with directors Georges Lautner, Michel Deville, and Michel Audiard. He published a memoir, Il a neigé sur le mont Vitocha ("It snowed on Mount Vitosha") in 1994.

He died in 2001, aged 63, from a cerebral hemorrhage, and was buried in his home village of Loconville. His son is the actor Michael Vartan.

Play! Pokémon

'''Play! Pokémon, formerly known as Pokémon Organized Play' (often abbreviated as POP), is a division of The Pokémon Company International established in 2003 and known for hosting the Pokémon World Championships, a competitive eSports tournament which features the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG), Pokemon Go, the Pokémon Video Game Championships (VGC), and the Pokémon UNITE'' Championships. It is the official governing body of the competitive tournament circuit for Pokémon, as well as the organizer of a variety of programs for casual players of the game.

History
Play! Pokémon was formed in 2003 under the supervision of The Pokémon Company International (previously known as Pokémon USA) after Wizards of the Coast lost its license to the Trading Card Game. Since then, a new league, tournament, and prize system was created.

Organizational structure
The organizational structure of Play! Pokémon is such that with the exception of major tournaments (i.e. International and World Championships), which are mostly run by The Pokémon Company International and its affiliates, all other tournaments (of a smaller scale) are run by volunteers which are part of a Play! Pokémon program known as the 'Professor Program'.

These volunteers, which are known as Pokémon Professors, are sanctioned by the Play! Pokémon program to help promote the game in many ways such as by judging, advertising and staffing events whilst upholding the spirit of the game. These Pokémon Professors can also host and run tournaments for their local community.

Non-competitive programs
Play! Pokémon organizes a variety of programs intended to be a starting point for beginner players of the Trading Card Game and/or the Video Games. These programs are casual in nature and tend to be organized by Pokémon Professor volunteers and held in public locations such as game stores, community centers, or libraries.

 * Play! Pokémon Leagues: Leagues are run by volunteers with an approved background check conducted by Play! Pokémon. A league cycle is usually divided into eight seasons, each of which lasts about five weeks and is typically represented by themes found in Pokémon (e.g. gym badges, starter Pokémon). Players can earn prizes like physical Gym badges or seasonal promotional cards by completing rows in their player score card assigned to them at the event. There may be several weeks of a break in-between seasons, but most leagues continue to play to allow players to catch up on prizes they may have missed. League sessions typically last for two to four hours, and players usually meet once every week.
 * Local Tournaments: Local tournaments may be held by an organizer sanctioned by Play! Pokémon. Prizes and entry fees vary depending on the number of competitors, and the tournaments can either be free to enter or require an entry fee at the discretion of the organizer. The tournaments are typically single-elimination, Swiss-system, or a combination of both (i.e. Swiss followed by single elimination rounds). Sometimes, the tournaments apply an "Age Modified Swiss" system, a variation of Swiss in which a player's age takes priority over the player's record when the players are paired. Players may also be categorized by age if there is a significant number of players. Categories range from Junior (ages 12 and under), Senior (ages 13–15) and Master (ages 16 and over). When the tournament is complete, players are given a rating based on their performance following the Elo rating system.
 * Prerelease Tournaments: Prerelease Tournaments are Trading Card Game events in which players play with cards from an expansion set that would not have been released until up to two weeks later. The typical entry fee is $20–35 and each player would be given six booster packs, a special promo card, and a set of sleeves that are themed after the new set. Each player builds a 40-card deck using the cards opened out of the six packs (not including basic Energy cards, which are provided at the event). At the end of each prerelease, players receive three extra booster packs. Players may also have the option of playing in a 'Theme Deck challenge' instead of the Prerelease event, where they play for a themed deck and 4 booster packs.

Pokémon Championship Series
Tournaments part of the Pokémon Championship Series (i.e. Premier Tournaments) are competitive tournaments which reward players with Championship Points based on their finishing position at the tournament. Players earn an invitation to compete in the annual Pokémon World Championships should they accumulate enough points above a pre-determined threshold at the end of the season. The threshold depends on the type of game played, the player's age division and the region in which the player is registered in, and may change at the start of each season.

Premier Tournaments vary in size, scale and frequency, and can be classified into any one of the event types as shown in the following table. Entry-level and mid-level events tend to be run independently by sanctioned tournament organizers and are run all year round, while events of a larger scale tend to be few and far between, but have better prize support and larger Championship Point payouts. The scale of an event may be estimated by the maximum number of Championship Points a player can obtain from winning the tournament.

List of participating countries
The Play! Pokémon program is administered across different countries by classifying them into four 'rating zones' based on their geographical location (i.e. North America, Europe, Latin America and Oceania). On June 10, 2020, it was announced that Asia would no longer be part of the Play! Pokémon program and will have its own qualifying system towards the Pokémon World Championships.

As of June 2, 2020, the list of countries in each rating zone are as follows.

Lesbian/Woman

Lesbian/Woman (1972; second edition 1991) is a work by the feminist and gay rights activists Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, in which the authors discuss what it means to be a lesbian. The book was influential and is considered a foundational text of lesbian feminism. Reviewers believed that it benefited from its authors' personal experience as lesbians, and endorsed its criticisms of the treatment of lesbians by religious and professional organizations.

Summary
Martin and Lyon discuss lesbianism, arguing that the subject is surrounded by "myths and stereotypes", such as the idea that being a lesbian is solely or primarily a matter of sexual behavior and feelings, that lesbians molest children and seduce young women, and that a woman's sexual orientation can be determined from her appearance. They argue that lesbian women are diverse and have a range of different experiences and backgrounds. They describe their personal experiences as lesbians, and write that for a woman being a lesbian is "a way of life" that "involves the structure of her whole personality". Other topics explored include butch and femme roles.

Although they note that some lesbians believe that they were born lesbians, they write that they, "tend to feel that persons are born sexual: not heterosexual or homosexual, just sexual." They argue that a woman's sexual orientation depends upon her individual experiences and reactions to them, and that it can develop slowly, emerging from her awareness as a girl that she felt different.

Publication history
First published in 1972, Lesbian/Woman was republished in an expanded edition in 1991.

Early reviews
Lesbian/Woman received a positive review from Carol Leard in The Body Politic and a mixed review from Diane Trzcinski in Lesbian Tide. The book was also reviewed by Sisters, Amazon Quarterly, the Journal of Sex Research, and Julia P. Stanley in the Journal of Homosexuality.

Leard considered Lesbian/Woman "positive and enlightened", and credited Martin and Lyon with demonstrating "a full and realistic appreciation of what it means to be a woman and a Lesbian in contemporary society", and having provided an "authentic and factual" discussion of the topic that benefited from their personal experience as lesbians. She considered the book a useful counter to stereotypes about lesbians and welcomed its advice to parents not to send their daughters to therapists interested in changing their sexual orientation. She found the final chapter "liberating in itself" in its "vibrant demand for liberation", endorsing its criticism of "the Church and professional associations".

Trzcinski wrote that Lesbian/Woman would prove useful to feminists because of its history of the lesbian and lesbian feminist movements in the United States. She maintained that it benefited from Martin and Lyon's personal experience as lesbians, and credited them with accurately assessing the "three main sources of institutionalized oppression of lesbians" as organized religion, the medical profession, and the government. She also endorsed Martin and Lyon's criticism of psychoanalytic theories of lesbianism. However, she found that the book "too often reads as an apology", and believed that Martin and Lyon were wrong to demand that society give lesbians love and respect, writing that this was impossible given "the way society is presently constituted". She also questioned why lesbians should want the love and respect of society, given the way it treated them. She also maintained that while Martin and Lyon's account of lesbianism was accurate as far as it went, it ignored "the various alternatives now open to lesbians."

Later evaluations
Jennifer Terry described Lesbian/Woman as "a foundational text of lesbian-feminism". She commented that in many respects it, "resembles previous social scientific surveys and early psychiatric case histories produced as a result of voluntary lesbian participation in studies." She added that, "One can identify a similarity in the discursive structure of the subjects' self-descriptions reported in Lesbian/Woman and those of the early psychiatric interviews that were part of the Sex Variants study of the 1930s."

In 2004, The Advocate listed Lesbian/Woman as one of the "100 Best Lesbian and Gay Nonfiction Books" ever written. Tina Gianoulis, writing for GLBTQ Social Sciences, described Lesbian/Woman as an influential book, adding that Martin and Lyon's understanding of what it means to be a lesbian "not only opened the door for women who had never been sexual with women to see themselves as lesbians, but it also laid the foundation for a woman-identified subculture that became the basis for the lesbian movement of the 1970s." Gianoulis added that it was Martin and Lyon's "most significant book" and that it "remains a crucial account of American lesbian life in the twentieth century".

The article states that she was born either 1963 or 1964 citing both sources. Did a previous version of her page on hollywood.com state 1964? <IP_ADDRESS> 11:58, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * imdb is not considered a reliable source, so I'm not even sure why its being cited here.--Crossmr (talk) 07:46, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Date of birth
It's not clear what Deborah Unger's date of birth is with different sources on the internet giving different dates. While many sites list her birthday as May 12 many of these also list the year of her birth as 1963 instead of 1966:. IMDB on the otherhand has her date of birth as 31 March 1964 while Hollywood.com has it as 1 January 1966:. Other sites such as Starpulse and Allmovie just list her birth year as being 1966:.

It's pretty clear that there is much ambiguity regarding her date of birth exacerbated by the fact that web based encyclopedic sources (which all of the above are) are not verifiable because they don't state where they get the information, therefore they are not reliable sources for this type of information.

The only reliable source that I can find is the current Guardian source in which her age is given as 33 in February 2000 in an interview: meaning that she was probably born in 1966. Web based encyclopedic sources are not reliable sources so please do not introduce them as references into the article for the date of birth. If the date of birth is going to be changed or narrowed down we need to know where the information is coming from i.e. an authored article in a magazine, newspaper or book; a copy of her birth certificate or some other official document; her official website or a website by someone who officially represents her.

Please bear this in mind while altering the information currently in the article. Betty Logan (talk) 18:14, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Deborah Unger is not exactly the only celebrity whose date of birth is twisted. Imdb and hollywood.com are the only sources that gives her date of birth as 31 March and 1 January, however, there are plenty of reliable sources that gives her birthday as 12 May and if she is stated as 33 in an interview in Feb 2000, the birth year is also settled. That I think makes the birth day clear to be 12 May 1966. Karbuncle (talk) 15:28, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Internet based encyclopedias that do not say where the information come from are not reliable sources because they are not verifiable. If there are many sources that get the year wrong then there is nothing to say the day and month aren't wrong either, and because they don't say where they get the information then there's nothing to say they didn't copy it off each other considering the fact that the same mistakes in the year are so widespread.  One of the references you provide - Filmreference.com  is one of the few encyclopedia sites that include sources for its information and that site only lists the year of her birth, but not the month or day! We have a reliable source giving her age in 2000, so we can calculate she was born in 1966.  The fact that there are many internet based sources such as Allmovie  which is usually one of the more accurate sites on the internet that just include the year of her birth and not the date indicate that they cannot verifiably source the information.  It's not Wikipedia's job to conjecture what might be correct, and since we can't verifiably source a date we should take the same approach as the other sites that only list the year. Betty Logan (talk) 21:54, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

The references I gave http://www.filmbug.com/db/26791, http://www.womencelebs.com/c50/showcelebrity_categoryid-5025.html and http://www.superiorpics.com/deborah_kara_unger are not encyclopedias just becuase they do not say where they have taken the information from. There are only a few websites that lists their sources publicly and many websites that do not state where they have taken their information from has been counted as reliable sources in other articles. Filmreference.com never lists the birth day no matter what celebrity it is. Also, you say that we are sure about the birth year, so why do you write cirkus 1966? That indicates that we are not sure of the birth year either. Karbuncle (talk) 18:30, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Encyclopedias are usually classed as non-reliable sources because they are not verifiable i.e. they don't say where they get the information from. Any source that doesn't say where the information comes from is non-verifiable.  The sites you provide by the same token are not verifiable because they don't say where the information comes from.  Newspapers and magazine articles from mainstream publications are reliable because they are "authored" (so in theory there is nothing to stop me contacting the writer and verifying it) and professional publications usually have verification policies. Anyway, I asked for another opinion here to make sure what I was telling you was right: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Actors_and_Filmmakers.  The view here is that Filmreference is reliable because it provides its sources, so in that sense we should make FilmReference the reference and make 1966 definite.  As it turns out I was wrong to write it as (c. 1966) because I shouldn't write a year if the newspaper article doesn't explicitly give one. May 12 might well be her date of birth, you'd bet on it before any other date but without a verifiable source we can't be sure of its accuracy.  If you could locate a verifiable source for her birth date that would be great, but I recommend getting it checked at WT:ACTOR first if it isn't a typical article reference. Betty Logan (talk) 02:13, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

On her facebook profile it stands 12 May. That if anything is a verifible source according to me. http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=deborah+kara+unger&init=quick#/pages/Deborah-Kara-Unger/64134760526?ref=search&sid=625935888.1930929955..1 Karbuncle (talk) 15:08, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It would be a verifiable source if there was confirmation it was actually her page. There is no proof it was set up by her.  It could have been set up by a fan or anyone. Betty Logan (talk) 15:16, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Constant birth year changes
There have have been constant changes to the birth year changing the year from 1966 to 1963 despite the reference for the 1966 year. Biographical claims must be sourced with a verifiable reference (see WP:V). The criteria for what constitutes a reliable source is discussed in the above section, and is more fully explained at WP:RS. Removing or altering reliably sourced information is disruptive and is discouraged. Alternative years are welcome to be added to the article if they can be similarly sourced. Please discuss any issues here first rather than alter or remove sourced information from the article. Betty Logan (talk) 21:09, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Year spans in Filmography
An editor has repeatedly removed the year spans in the Filmography section quoting WP:ACCESSIBILITY and WP:FILMOGRAPHY. I do not see how WP:ACCESSIBILITY is applicable since it does not address row-spanning at all. Secondly, while WP:FILMOGRAPHY allocates one row per entry in the example it provides the guideline does not insist on it. The assertion that "Filmography like in many other pages about actors" is not all that relevant per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXIST. As yet a compelling reason has not been offered for altering the structure of the table and I believe the row-spanning offers an aesthetic improvement and is evening advocated at Manual_of_Style/Accessibility/Data_tables_tutorial.

Lithium hexafluorogermanate

Lithium hexafluorogermanate is the inorganic compound with the formula Li2GeF6. It forms a solid off-white deliquescent powder. When exposed to moisture, it easily hydrolyses to release hydrogen fluoride and germanium tetrafluoride gases.

Reactions and applications
Lithium hexafluorogermanate can be dissolved in a solution of hydrogen fluoride, which forms a precipitate of lithium fluoride.

It can be used as a densification aid in the sintering of gadolinium oxysulfide, and as a lithium salt additive in a lithium-ion battery electrolyte.

Nelly Moore

Nelly Moore or Eleanora Moore (1844/45 – 12 January 1869) was a British actress who died young.

Life
Moore died in London in 1869 aged 24 years old from typhoid fever. She first acted in Manchester and appeared in London at the St James's Theatre in the first showing of Cupid's Ladder by Leicester Buckingham. After that she returned to work under Alfred Wigan as Margaret Lovell in Tom Taylor's Up at the Hills. In a short life Moore appeared in the first showing of several notable performances at the Haymarket Theatre, the Queen's and the Princesses. One of her performances moved Henry Sambrooke Leigh to write a verse in her honour. She came from an acting family. Her biography was included in the Dictionary of National Biography.

It was said that Henry Irving who had been a colleague of Moore's died carrying a photograph of Nelly that he had pasted back to back with his own. This caused some speculation but later research identifies the woman in Irving's photograph as Ethen Western aka Zare Thalberg.

User:Wer900/Policy Reform I/Dispute resolution boards

Wherever on the encyclopedia there is a serious and otherwise intractable dispute, a dispute resolution board shall be convened. This board shall be tasked with providing all necessary remedies required in order to settle a given case before it. Dispute resolution boards are ad-hoc; once the dispute they are faced with has been resolved, the board will be dissolved effective immediately. If an issue has not been resolved, or if either involved party petitions to do so and the petition is accepted, the case shall be appealed to the Arbitration Committee, a situation which will also result in the dissolution of the dispute resolution board.

A dispute resolution board shall have jurisdiction to resolve all disputes where reasonable attempts were made to resolve the dispute in other means, such as through talk-page discussion or the use of bodies like the Mediation Cabal. In addition, dispute resolution boards shall hold original jurisdiction over all cases where abuse of administrative powers are involved, and where the users involved have already made all reasonable attempts to resolve the dispute informally. Once enough evidence, as determined by an administrator, is demonstrated under the reasonable attempt test in order to begin a case, a dispute resolution board consisting of one previously uninvolved administrator and twelve randomly selected, non-administrator autoconfirmed users without an unrevoked block in the past six months, shall be convened.

The presiding administrator shall be permitted to issue all temporary injunctions necessary to prevent further disruption of the encyclopedia which do not impede the ability of any involved user to participate in the case. The non-administrative jury shall be tasked with determining by consensus which remedies are required, with the decision ultimately being ratified by the administrator. Should the decision of the jury not be ratified by the administrator, the administrator must decide whether to ask the jury to modify the remedies which have been prescribed, or to appeal the case to the Arbitration Committee. Alternatively, the jury may override the veto of an administrator by a unanimous vote along with the achievement of consensus.

The powers of the Arbitration Committee shall remain unchanged, except to permit the Arbitration Committee to accept or request a motion for appeal at its discretion. Should the Arbitration Committee reject a request for appeal brought by an administrator presiding over a dispute resolution board, the remedies drawn up by the jury shall remain in place. Should a motion brought by a party to the case be rejected, the decision of the original dispute resolution board shall hold. Before accepting or rejecting a request for appeal, the Arbitration Committee should look at all of the evidence which has been presented and make its decision based on whether the remedies were unsatisfactory, or whether there is an important legal principle applying to the case.

Portal:Computer networks

Welcome to the Department of Computer Networks! Also Part of Engineering and Technology

Computer networking is the scientific and engineering discipline concerned with communication between computer systems. Such networks involve at least two devices capable of being networked with at least one usually being a computer. The devices can be separated by a few meters (e.g. via Bluetooth) or thousands of kilometers (e.g. via the Internet). Computer networking is sometimes considered a sub-discipline of telecommunications.

Computer networking can be examined from either the 7 layer OSI Model, or the 4 layer TCP/IP Model

Introduction
Networking is the practice of enabling and harnessing the transmission of data between computer systems. A simple analogy of a data network is two tin cans connected by a simple string. As in the analogy, the following holds true for actual data network implementations as well: A network may require one engineer to design it, another to build it, and yet another to administer it. The skills needed by each are related, but not necessarily dependent; hence, Networking is interdisciplinary. Networking developed within the discipline of Computer Science, but an extensive background in Computer Science is not necessary to study or even practice Networking. A Network Engineer works with data networks in some form, but the scope of that work and the skills required may be as diverse - even from one job to the next - as those of any scientist.
 * The network exists merely as a medium for communications across it
 * A protocol of some form is needed to initiate and carry on conversations (this is not intrinsic to the network itself)
 * The same protocol (a spoken language) can also be used with different media for the same purpose; different networks have different advantages and uses

Topics
Networking is the practice of enabling and harnessing the transmission of data from one computer system to another. The TCP/IP model is used in presenting the following topics.

 * 1) Introduction to Networking
 * 2) TCP/IP Fundamentals
 * 3) Application Layer
 * 4) Transport Layer
 * 5) Internet Layer
 * 6) Link Layer
 * 7) Mobile Networks
 * 8) Network Security
 * 9) Network Administration
 * 10) Pursuing network certification

OSI Seven Layer Model
The alternative OSI layer can be studied here.

Each topic includes an outline, suggested activities and links to useful resources. They are constructed for self-study, but should be adaptable to a group environment.
 * Layer 7, the Application layer, provides service directly related to the applications. Those services vary on applications.
 * Layer 6, the Presentation layer, format the data to look like common for all applications
 * Layer 5, the Session Layer, establishes a connection between two nodes. Deals with whether the connection is full duplex, half duplex etc.
 * Layer 4, Transport layer, handles and delivers data, whenever it is connection-oriented or connectionless. It includes some flow control issues.
 * Layer 3, Network Layer, establishes the connection between two nodes, using the IP addressing.
 * Layer 2, the Data Link Layer, frames data and provides low-level flow control
 * Layer 1, Physical layer, transmits low bitstreams (data), deals with electrical signalling, cabling and hardware interface

Courses

 * Computer Networks
 * Internet Protocol Analysis
 * Windows Server Administration

Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology

The Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology (SCCAP) is an academic and professional society in the United States that was established to encourage the development and advancement of clinical child and adolescent psychology through integration of its scientific and professional aspects. The division promotes scientific inquiry, training, professional practice, and public policy in clinical child and adolescent psychology as a means of improving the welfare and mental health of children, youth, and families.

In the service of these goals, SCCAP promotes the general objectives of the American Psychological Association, and is listed as Division 53.

History
The society first appeared in the American Psychological Association as a section under the division of clinical psychology (Division 12) in 1962. As research in child development and behavior analysis progressed, the need for specialized training for clinical psychology students became more urgent. Conferences were held in the mid-1980s onward to discuss the material needed to treat children. By the next decade, Division 12 considered the possibility of clinical child psychology becoming its own division; and after a vote of the section members, the APA Council created the Division of Clinical Child Psychology (Division 53) in 1999. John Weisz became the first Division President the following year and the division went through a name change the year after that and maintains that title to the present day.

Lixus fasciculatus

Lixus fasciculatus is a species of weevils belonging to the family Curculionidae.

Distribution
This species can be found France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Moldova, Poland, Slovakia, South European Russia, and in the eastern Palearctic realm.

Habitat
It prefers the regions with a mild winter. It inhabits sunlit forest edges, xerothermic grasslands, roadsides and clearings.

Description
Lixus fasciculatus can reach a length of 6.5 - 14 mm. These weevils are rather long  with parallel sides and  a distinctive long snout, longer in females than in males. The antennae are geniculate with small clubs. The integument is black to dark brown, shiny, slightly veiled by a pubescence formed of small pale ocher yellow to golden yellow hairs. They form irregular cloudy spots on the elytra, and four longitudinal stripes on the prothorax. The body is more densely hairy towards the sides. The head is conical, with a superficial punctuation. Legs are quite thin and long.

Biology
Lixus fasciculatus is a univoltine species. Adults can be found from May to September. They feed on Artemisia vulgaris, Artemisia absinthium and Tanacetum vulgare. Mating occurs on the  host plants. Egg are laid into stems of Artemisia vulgaris, where preimaginal development  occurs.
