Lojban/Attitudinals

Attitudinals are markers of attitude or emotion, modifying the word (brivla, cmavo, cmene, sumti, or tanru) directly before it. For example, the simple << mlatu >> for "cat" can become << mlatu .ui >> for "cat (happiness!/:D)". At the beginning of a sentence (after the place of .i) they modify the entire sentence (bridi), and after the attitudinal beginning bracket << fu'e >>, they continue the emotion for all the statement until the closing bracket << fu'o >>.

Attitudinals can also affect vocatives, the same way a change in vocal tone can greatly affect a simple "hello". For example, << coi .ui >> means not a simple "Hello.", but something like "Hello! :D". Combined with the attitudinal question-maker pei, you can easily create more complex << coi .uipei >> may be thought of as "Hello - are you glad to see me?", while << co'o .uipei >> may be viewed as "Good-bye - are you happy that we part?".

Beyond mere emotion, they can mark prepositional ideas such as desire ("I want this to happen"), obligation ("This needs to happen"), and many other complex functions we take for granted - for example, << mi citka >> means "I eat", while << .au mi citka >> means "I want to eat", and << .e'e mi citka >> means "I am able to eat".

Organic Chemistry/Introduction to reactions/Drawing reactions

<< Functional groups in reactions | Rates and equilibria >>

Drawing reactions
There are various techniques you will run across for notation of organic reactions.

Arrows
Curved arrows are used to show movement of electrons. They are not used to show where atoms, ions, or molecules move, just electrons. A curved arrow with two "hooks" on the end indicated movement of a pair of electrons. A curved arrow with one "hook" indicated movement of one electron.

 * [[Image:Elektronenvwerschiebung V1.svg|150px]]

Double-headed arrows are used to represent equivalence between resonance structures.

 * [[Image:Mesomeriepfeil.svg|75px]]

Two-way double half arrows are represent a reaction that can go forward or reverse. If one of the half arrows is longer than the other it means that the reaction pathway favors that direction with the longer arrow.

Whatever It Takes (2000 film)

Whatever It Takes is a 2000 American teen comedy film directed by David Raynr and starring Shane West, Marla Sokoloff, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, and James Franco. It was released in the United States on March 24, 2000. The film's story is a modern update of the 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand.

Plot
Ryan Woodman is a bit of a geek with eyes for the school's most popular girl, Ashley Grant. This induces cringing in his neighbor and best friend, Maggie Carter, a cute, intellectual girl. Football jock Chris Campbell, who happens to be Ashley's cousin, has his eyes on Maggie, though.

Chris offers to help Ryan get the girl of his dreams if he does the same for him with Maggie. They agree on the deal, so Ryan composes soulful e-mails for Chris to use with Maggie, while Chris advises Ryan to treat Ashley like dirt, with the reasoning it's the only way to get her attention.

At first, neither guy finds it easy to change their ways; Chris comes on too strong for Maggie's liking, and Ryan is too nervous to be a jerk to Ashley. But as they start to succeed, Ryan begins to see Maggie in a new light and wonders if he's pursuing the right girl. He realizes Ashley is not meant for him just as he is working to convince Maggie of Chris's affection for her.

Meanwhile, Maggie questions her own interest in the narcissistic Chris. Ryan's change in behavior, which includes insulting his geeky friends, also lowers Maggie's opinion of him. Then, Ryan learns Chris plans to “nail and bail” Maggie on the night of the school prom, a strategy he's done with every girl he's dated. He tells him that it won't work because Maggie is too good for that, but he blithely ignores him.

Ryan ends up confessing his feelings for Maggie and admits to her it was him writing her the romantic letters the whole time, not Chris. Feeling let down by the dishonesty, Maggie is hesitant to reciprocate his feelings. She ends up going to the prom with Chris while Ryan begrudgingly goes with Ashley.

At an afterparty in a hotel, before Chris can get Maggie into bed, she insists on tying him to it and blindfolding him, which he obliges. When he is fully restrained, Maggie tells him she has just played him and takes a Polaroid of him in the humiliating position. She leaves Chris in the room to be taunted and drawn on by other partygoers.

Ryan ends up ditching Ashley and goes after Maggie. Back at their homes, he tries to talk to her over the balcony and apologizes for his wrongdoings. Maggie tells Ryan how hurt she is over the deception, which had steered her into Chris's popular clique and led her to mistakenly feel like she belonged, and he replies that she does belong – with him. They then both realize their feelings for one another and kiss.

Production
The film uses the chaotic 'pool under the gym floor opening at the prom' scene, as seen in It's a Wonderful Life (1946).

Reception
The film has an approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes of 16% based on 67 reviews. The site's critical consensus reads, "Whatever It Takes is another run-of-the-mill teeny-bopper romance flick. Cliche jokes and a tired plot capture few laughs". A.O. Scott of The New York Times criticized the film's predictable plot, and pointed out that “the script's way of handling its romantic complications is unusually obtuse and insensitive.” Scott said the film's treatment of the Ashley character, who is humiliated for laughs, “strikes an ugly, misogynist note.”

Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly said the film had "ersatz versions of stars who, in this case, are fairly vanilla to begin with".

Accolades

 * Teen Choice Awards
 * Choice Comedy Movie: Nominated
 * Choice Movie Sleazebag: Nominated
 * Choice Movie Hissy Fit: Nominated

Home media
Whatever It Takes was released on VHS and DVD in North America in August 2000.

Organic Chemistry/Analytical techniques/Elemental analysis

Elemental analysis is the process for determining the partial or complete chemical formula for a substance. Most commonly, it involves the complete combustion in air or oxygen of the substance and then quantifying the amount of elemental oxides produced. In the case of organic compounds, the carbon is converted to carbon dioxide and the hydrogen to water. From these, the percent carbon and percent hydrogen in the substance can be found and compared with a proposed chemical formula for the substance at hand.

Element test: Put a small amount of the solid into a small piece of Na metal then roll it around the solid, followed by introduction into a fusion tube. The tube is heated with a gentle flame at a slow rate (in order not to evaporate N2 present in solid) then strong heating till the bottom of the tube become red hot. The tube is then put in a beaker containing a minimal amount of water then heated, cooled, filtered and the filtrate divided into three parts.

1. Test for nitrogen : The filtrate and ferrous sulfate are boiled and cooled and dilute sulfuric acid is added. If green or blue color occurs the solid contain nitrogen.

The chemistry behind what happened: Na+C+N --> NaCN FeSO4+NaCN gives Fe[CN]2 Fe[CN]2+4NaCN give the complex Na4[Fe(CN)6] ferrous oxidizes to ferric by the acid so 3Na4[Fe(CN)6]+4Fe3+ --> Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3

2. Test for sulfur : The filtrate is exposed to dilute acetic acid and lead acetate, yielding a brown or black precipitate.

The chemistry behind what happened: Na+S --> Na2S Na2S +Pb(CH3CO2H)2 yields lead sulfide, a black precipitate.

or: The filtrate and sodium nitro prusside yield a violet color

Na2S+Na2[Fe(CN)5NO] --> Na4[Fe(CN)5NOS] = violet color

3. Test for chlorine :

a) In the absence of N or S: The filtrate is exposed to dilute nitric acid and silver nitrate. Formation of a white precipitate suggests the presence of chlorine.

b) In the presence of N and/or S :

The filtrate is exposed to dilute sulfuric acid then boiled to 1/3 initial volume and cooled. Formation of a white precipitate after the addition of dilute nitric acid and silver nitrate suggests the presence of chlorine.

Equations:

NaCN+AgNO3 --> AgCN white ppt Na2S+AgNO3 gives Ag2S black ppt '''In the presence of N or S these two precipitates may interfere with the white colour of the result of the chlorine test. Therefore dilute sulfuric acid is added because in the presence of N or S''': Na2S+ dilute H2SO4 gives H2S gas NaCN+ dilulte H2SO4 gives HCN gas

There is no interference with the white colour expected from the chlorine test in solid.

Talk:David Leavitt

Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 7 January 2019 and 17 April 2019. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Kianamarie.

Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT (talk) 19:05, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Pronunciation of Leavitt
Does anyone here know for sure? Is it like "Leave it?" Enquiring minds want to know. Aviad2001 00:09, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

The Lea is pronounced like the le in let

Disambiguation page
I see there was an attempt to force a change on this article, namely to turn it into a disambiguation page. I have reverted the edits and formatted the hatnotes at the top of the page. I've also redirected the newly created David F. Leavitt back to this article – since this project operates under the GFDL, a page rename cannot be done by simply pasting the contents into a new article, as that doesn't effectively preserve the page history (which, among other things, acts as a record of different editors' contributions to an article).

If there is a need for a disambiguation page for the three Davids – and I'm not sure there is – it ought to be discussed first. And if that discussion determines the author article ought to be renamed "David F. Leavitt", the change needs to be handled via a page move, not a copy'n'paste. --Sturm 21:58, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Shouldn't there be a David Leavitt (disambiguation) page? Then each of the three can use otheruses. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 23:04, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I have never seen his name as 'David F. Leavitt', so it seems a little odd to me - I could be misguided though.Zigzig20s (talk) 23:14, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Now that you mention it, the only David F's I can find via Google appear to be unconnected to the writer. Does Leavitt even have a middle name? --Sturm 23:30, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't know, but it's a pretty safe assumption that he goes by 'David Leavitt'. If he has a middle name - more people do - then that isn't his professional name, if that makes sense.Zigzig20s (talk) 23:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

 * (Reply to SatyrTN) It depends on how likely you think it is that someone will arrive at David O. Leavitt, say, when they actually want to get to David I. Leavitt or David Leavitt. A disambiguation page wouldn't actually do any harm as far as I can see; I'm just not convinced there's much to be gained. --Sturm 23:18, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

 * What's to be gained is that then we don't need to keep adding to the pre-lede paragraph of this article when Dave Leavitt, David A. Leavitt, and Davide Leavite all become famous. We simply otheruses the top of this article and leave the rest alone. It's far more likely anyone looking for David O. will land here, and a dab page allows for at least a little more description than we would want to provide here. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 23:45, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

 * NM. I was WP:BOLD. :) -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 23:56, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Oh, well. It forces an extra click in the disambiguation process, but at least it provides a more appropriate target for David F. --Sturm 00:23, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Did we ever decide who David F is/was? -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 02:42, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I had a look around last night and nothing promising showed up. There's an academic interested in aquaculture (D. F. Leavitt) and a maker of block prints. Trying possible f's (Francis, Forrest, Finbar etc) turned up nothing beyond this, but I didn't run through an entire dictionary of baby's names. --Sturm 09:12, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, a Google search with quotes around David F. Leavitt turned up a professor at Roger Williams University who is on the executive board of the Rhode Island Aquaculture Initiative and a artist who did block prints of Charles Lindberg that show up on the vintage auction markets. clariosophic (talk) 13:39, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Disambiguation redux
It happened again, this time with David Leavitt (author) as the new copy'n'paste job. I've reverted and left an explanatory note on the user's talk page, pointing them towards the discussion here. --Sturm 20:43, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Edits/Updates to Leavitt Page
Hi, all. I noticed there were some errors in the existing David Leavitt author page, and have, on my Userpage, suggested some changes. Full disclosure: I am a graduate of the MFA program at the University of Florida, in poetry. Since I know David Leavitt personally, I wanted to make sure my edits didn't fall afoul of the Conflict of Interest policies of Wikipedia. I thought, too, this would be a good way to get some peer-review feedback, as I have not before now edited a Wikipedia article.

I link to my User page edits here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Misprision/David_Leavitt_(author)_(revision)

I have kept the majority of the existing page intact, but made a few changes to the following areas:

Biography: Leavitt no longer divides his time between Italy and Florida; he is a permanent resident in Florida. I also expanded the brief description to include short stories and non-fiction, and to explain his relationship to Subtropics (which I also link to in this updated version).

Controversy: I clarified some of the terms in this section, excised the Spender quote (and linked to Spender's original article in the NYTBR), added a citation to another article that addresses the issue (in PMLA about a decade ago), and clarified the thesis of Drew Patrick's Shannon's article which, while it does address the critical fall of Leavitt and his work (which is found in the existing article), attributes that fall to a latent homophobia in book reviewing at the time.

These edits, I would argue, more fairly frame the controversy surrounding the copyright infringement charge.

I also added an Adaptations section, and cleaned up the bibliography (eliminating collections that aren't collections, adding more complete titles, etc.).

As I said earlier, I did worry about a conflict of interest, seeing as I was a student at Florida, and worked on Subtropics, though was never directly a student of Leavitt. I was hoping to get feedback on these suggested edits. If they are found worth including, I would ask one of my fellow Wikipedia contributors to make those changes (again, so as to align my suggested edits with Wikipedia's COI policy).

Thanks! Misprision (talk) 17:29, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

List of United States Bureau of Reclamation dams

Following is a complete list of the approximately 340 dams owned by the United States Bureau of Reclamation as of 2008.

The Bureau was established in July 1902 as the "United States Reclamation Service" and was renamed in 1923. The agency has operated in the 17 western states of the continental U.S., divided into five administrative regions. Within the United States Department of the Interior, it oversees water resource management, specifically the oversight and/or operation of numerous diversion, delivery, and storage projects it built throughout the western United States for irrigation, flood control, water supply, and attendant hydroelectric power generation.

Currently USBR is the largest wholesaler of water in the country, bringing water to more than 31 million people, and providing one in five Western farmers with irrigation water for 10 million acres of farmland, which produce 60% of the nation's vegetables and 25% of its fruits and nuts. USBR is also the second-largest producer of hydroelectric power in the western United States.

All major dams are linked below. The National Inventory of Dams defines any "major dam" as being 50 ft tall with a storage capacity of at least 5000 acre.ft, or of any height with a storage capacity of 25000 acre.ft.

Talk:transformer

RFV discussion
The sense that seems to be in reference to a current movie and old TV show. Does it see more general use? —RuakhTALK 05:29, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

It's from a known unreliable user - delete' sense. SemperBlotto 07:21, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm of two minds about this. There are actually three old TV series (and associated toys) in addition to the current movie (and associated toys).  However, I want to say that I've heard this term applied to other "transforming" toys that are not associated with either the TV series or current movie (and associated toys).  One instance that comes to mind is from the movie Big with Tom Hanks, in which his character ridicules a toy designer who proposes a new toy robot that transforms into a building.  What I can;t say for certain is whether any of the instances I'm thinking of actually use the word "transformer", or whether they deliberately avoid it to avoid a lawsuit. --EncycloPetey 05:57, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:German/Lesson 2

Untitled
We could use a photo illustrating the conversation in Gespräch 2-2 ~ Das neues Mädchen. One of a young couple talking in a social setting; even better, with a short, long-haired brunette in the background - Marsh 03:56, 16 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Would the translation for spielen be play, as is on the page, or the infinitive to play? Lord Emsworth 02:35, 1 Nov 2003 (UTC)
 * I think spielen is the infinitive, I can play should be Ich kann spiele. Maybe Thomas can clear this up. Etothex 04:48, 1 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I think it is a matter of how you want to present verbs. I originally had them as "to play" (which is correct), but it is also correct I believe to simply list the english verb that spielen represents: play. The vocabulary is not a direct translation list, but a list of words in German from the excercise and what they mean in that context) in English. I have two text books and a large Dictionary in front of me and one text gives the verbs thus: spielen - to play; whereas another textbook and the dictionary (New Cassell's) list them thus: spielen - play. - Marsh 05:11, 1 Nov 2003 (UTC)
 * Hmm, ok. I looked up spielen on LEO and I got the infinitive 'to play', with(present tense)

ich 	spiele 	 AKLL OF THESE ARE "play" IN ENGLISH du 	spielst er/sie 	spielt wir 	spielen ihr 	spielt sie 	spielen but then babelfish/altavista translated 'I can play' as Ich kann spielen, so I don't know what's correct. I suppose since you know more German than I do that you're right. :) Etothex 08:39, 1 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Yes, kann spielen is correct: ich      kann spielen du       kannst spielen (formal: Sie können spielen) er/sie/es kann spielen wir      können spielen ihr      könnt spielen (formal: Sie können spielen) sie      können spielen The formal "Sie" is captialized.

Some other forms with the infinitive: ich       muss   / darf   / soll   / will du        musst  / darfst / sollst / willst er/sie/es muss   / darf   / soll   / will wir       müssen / dürfen / sollen / wollen ihr       müsst  / dürft  / sollt  / wollt sie       müssen / dürfen / sollen / wollen

And some things (negation of the above) which are different: ich muss       I must ich darf       I am allowed to ich muss nicht  I don't need to ich darf nicht  I must not ich soll       I should ich soll nicht I should not ich kann       I can (I am able to, I am allowed to) ich kann nicht I cannot (like above) ich will       I want to ich will nicht  I dont't want to --Vulture 09:37, 1 Nov 2003 (UTC)

 * Well, I'm saying either way of presentation is correct. Not giving the English "to play", but instead using "play" is just a matter of personal preference. My very big German dictionary does not present English verbs as "to xxxxx" in the German to English translations. - Marsh 09:44, 1 Nov 2003 (UTC)

 * Yes, the "to" is just a confirmation (clarification) that it is the inifinitive. The dictionary usually only lists irregular forms, so it's somewhat reduntant (although my dictionary says "to" ;). --Vulture 09:53, 1 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Fräulein was used instead of Frau to refer to an unmarried woman. It's no longer used since the 60s or 70s. It's rather infrequently used to address a waitress. Otherwise it has a humoristic or ironic meaning. --Vulture 07:53, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)

 * Hey, that's when I learned German! What is "Miss" now? Anyway, certainly go in and change anything you see to modernize the German. Really appreciated! - Marsh 18:41, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)

 * Fräulein was replaced by Frau, there is no special "Miss". You might use it you translate something english and "Miss" (instead of Mrs) is important. But you might also simply use "Miss" in this case. --Vulture 09:19, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)

 * Hard to believe a culture would dump a word implying youthful beauty (Fräulein) for a word that has a more (IMHO) frumpy connotation (Frau). Did the young people simply start calling "chicks" --> "Fraus"?  Or was there always a different set of colloquial expressions, and Fräuline went out with the Miss, Mrs., Ms. trends as in the US? - Marsh 17:34, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC) Along the same lines, would changing the sentence in Gesprach 2-2 >> Helena: Sie ist hübsch, wenn man kleine Mädchen mit langen schwarzen Haaren mag. to >>Helena: Sie ist hübsch, wenn man kleine Fräulein mit langen schwarzen Haaren mag. put more of an edge on her jealose reply to Karl?  That is, could one translate Fräulein in this case as "girl (tart)"? Or is there a word that would be more suitable (or is Mädchen just fine)?  - Marsh

 * It was considered inappropriate to see if somebody is married in the name (the "title"), especially if it's only used for females (i.e. no "Herrlein"). "Mädels", "Mädchen" is more like "chicks". "Schlampe" might do for Helena (*). My dictionary gives "slut" as translation.

(*) to say, not to be - "Zicke" (nanny goat ;), cow, bitch, prude, silly thing) might better characterize Helena. I don't think those translations are right though. --Vulture 08:42, 6 Nov 2003 (UTC)

 * For now I can leave it at "mädchen" I don't want her attitude to be too obvious: A more subtle "oh yeh, if you like that kind of girl" is what I'm aiming for - Marsh 16:27, 6 Nov 2003 (UTC)

In German: Lesson 2 I've changed one "Fremder" to "Fremde" and another one to "Fremden". Both are nominative plural, and I don't know exactly why they differ, but I'm quite sure of this because I'm a native German speaker. It probably has something to do with "fremd" being an adjective. "Der Fremde" is a noun, but the endings are the same as those of the adjective: "fremde Leute" (="foreign people") but "die fremden Leute" (="the foreign people").--El 15:57, 7 Nov 2003 (UTC)

 * Ok, Marsh. I'm not sure if it's necessary to introduce reflexive verbs in the first lesson. You could avoid it by saying: "Heinrich trifft Karl. Sie sind Freunde." -- Hansm 18:38, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)
 * Of course, it's (almost) right to say "Haben Sie Herr Standish schon angetroffen?". But I feel, the word "antreffen, angetroffen" is pretty difficult for the first lesson. You could say "Haben Sie Herrn Standish schon getroffen?" Anyway, this is more common.
 * Or how about "Haben Sie Herrn Standish schon gesehen?" - Note: Actualy, "Herr Standish" stands in the Dativ, here. Nevertheless, many Germans would also say "Herr Standish" in colloquial language.
 * Since you want to give a lesson about pronouns and the 2 forms for the 2nd person, I would try to keep the rest as easy as possible. The sentence "Aber verstehe ich richtig, dass er zu Besuch ist?" has a relativ sentence. Wouldn't it easyer just to say: "Ist er zu Besuch?" -- Hansm 18:51, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. Simplifying the early lessons is always a better idea. I will implement changes when I get the chance. Danke! - Marsh 05:06, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)
 * Well, I have done some simplifications and adapted the list of vocabularies. I hope, it's not too much against your initial idaes. -- Hansm 00:27, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me. Danke sehr - Marsh 01:58, 25 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I think there's a little problem with "heißen" in section "Grammatik 2-3": It's only used in a passive meaning like it's said there: "Thus heißen can best be translated as 'to be named' or 'to be called'." But the 4 examples demonstrate an active meaning of "call/name". This would be translated as "nennen" in German, so the examples really may make it clearer, but they are wrong... or at least have a quite archaic sound ;) - Monsi 17:59, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * I believe there are a number of German nouns that make sense in the present tense in German, but are not so easily or singularly translated into English. English would never say "I name Eric" for "my name is..." - But if you are saying German would not any more really say "Ich heiße Erick" but....what (?) "Ich nenne Erick?" Still the same non-correspondence between German present tense and English. Please clarify; is it that heißen is really only used in the passive? - Marsh 05:44, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * Yes, heißen is only used in the sense of "to be called". It used to be used like "jdn etw. heißen"(to call sb. sth.), but that usage is archaic, dating back to the 1920s or so I'd say. "nennen" requires the reflexive pronoun if used to refer to oneself: "Ich nenne mich Judith", but that's not really common when introducing oneself, it's like saying "I call myself Judith". "nennen" is what we use to say "to call sb. sth." nowadays though, e. g. "er nannte ihn einen Idiot" = "he called him an idiot".
 * I was not happy with the way the lesson was going using heißen—too complicated for so early in the text, and even the examples come from sentences that have since moved deeper into the book. I will rewrite and drop heißen here; but it or nennen will show up sooner than latter. Are some of the examples with heißen "modern", or all "archaic" - Marsh 17:10, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)

There is a lot more going on here: It's even worse for the male form: 'Der Herr' without anything else indicating the use as title/honorific would actually refer to god.
 * 1) The line about 'to be' refering to the use of present continous makes no sense at all. 'Heißen/Nennen' (Heißen is wrong as we know, substitute with 'Nennen'and it works). But nevertheless, 'Nennen' needs a passive construction similar to its closest English equivalent 'to be called xyz'. Continous does not! come into it. "Die Firma wird Trans-Global genannt." -> "The company is called Trans-Global" Both passive voice.
 * 2) Contrary to the commentary there is a different way to express 'is called'. It takes - surprise - the verb 'heißen' only with a change of subjects: Forget the 'They' and a passive voice. It is rather "Die Firma heißt Trans-Global." Nice, clean and easy.
 * 3) What's the deal with 'Um!-Global'? Proper names, especially of Latin origin, only get the worse for translation. Trans-Global sounds like a good German import-export firm. There probably is one for real just around the corner!
 * 4) Concerning Company = 'Gemeinde'. 'Gemeinde' means either 'parish' (religious group) or 'district' (local bureaucratic entity). I would go for 'Firma'.
 * 5) 'Die Geschäftsmänner'. Thought long and hard about it and the conclusion is, that maybe with pc and the rest of it, the plural of 'Geschäftsmann' is now 'Geschäftsleute'. We just don't use pure masuline plurals anymore, even if they happen to be all male.
 * 6) I will quickly nip over and correct 'das! Vereinigtes! Königreich'
 * 7) Somewhere I changed 'friends' = 'Brüder' into 'Freunde'. To call a mate your sibbling is theoretically possible in a colloquial setting (a bit like Hey Bro'). For the beginner, it could only be confusing.
 * 8) There is also a problem with 'die Frau' = 'Ms.' That is just confusing vocab practice because 'die Frau' = 'the woman'. That does not convey the meaning of honorific adress. You have to cut out the defnite article. Better then to learn it as a phrase than as an ambivlent single word.

That's it for the moment.
 * Floflei6

OK. Fix what you regard as archaic (a lot of these words come from LEO which has no systyem for indicating what is currently acceptable and what is archaic). I'll change the Herr und Frau as you suggest. - Marsh 17:42, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

According to LEO, it is "Vereinigtes Königreich" - marsh 18:49, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

"Vereinigtes Königreich" without articel, but "Das Vereinigte Königreich ...

"Das ist richtig." rather unusual
In Germany "Das ist richtig" is mostly used as "That's correct" as a teacher says to his pupil ("Did I make a mistake?" - "No, that's correct"). But here it is used twice in unusual situtations:
 * "Ist er zu Besuch? - Ja. Das ist richtig." should be simply "Ja." or "Ja, er wohnt zur Zeit bei mir." or "Ja" with another additional information.
 * "Zu viel ist zu viel. - Das ist richtig." should be "So ist es.", "Da haben Sie Recht." or something like that.
 * Obviously such subtleties reflect (among other things) changes in the use of words/phrases over time. I have no problem with using your suggestions - marsh 18:51, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

studieren
"Today we study German." would rather be "Heute lernen wir Deutsch." To study means "studieren" or "lernen" - but in German the two words are not the same thing. "Studieren" is what you do at a university - usually for a couple of years (even though we tend to drop out or change our subjects quite often // studieren can as well mean to examine thoroughly) jacs --Jacs 01:08, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Considering that the lesson here is going from English to German (from a story about University studies), it complicates things to substitute the "more correct" lernen - so the implication is simply that "today we study German (at the university)". I do not see the need for a change? - marsh 05:05, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Polish/Order of words in a sentence

< More on nouns - genders < ^ Polish ^ > Plural >

In Polish, word order within a sentence is flexible, and the subject or object can be omitted if they are clear from the context.

Consider the following sentences, all of which translate to "Henia has a cat", but are used in different contexts:
 * Henia ma kota (simple statement)
 * Henia kota ma (emphasizing that it's a cat that Henia has)
 * Kota ma Henia (emphasizing that it's Henia who has a cat)
 * Ma Henia kota
 * Kota Henia ma (emphasizing the action "has")
 * Ma kota Henia

The first word order is the most common. Other orders are used for emphasis.

If the subject, object, or verb is clear from the context, it can be dropped:
 * Ma kota - can be used if it's clear who is being talked about
 * Ma - can be an answer to "Czy Henia ma kota?" (Does Henia have a cat?)
 * Henia - can be an answer to "Kto ma kota?" (Who has a cat?)
 * Kota - can be an answer to "Co ma Henia?" (What does Henia have?)
 * Henia ma - this is less natural. In Polish, there is a tendency to drop the subject rather than the object, especially when the object is known but the subject is not. If the question was "Kto ma kota?" (Who has a cat?), the answer should be "Henia" alone, without a verb.

In particular, the pronouns "ja" and "ty", and their plural equivalents "my" and "wy", are almost always dropped.

Homeschooling

This is Wikiversity's central resource for Homeschooling.

Homeschooling basics

Homeschooling is a method of childhood education which eschews mainstream mass schooling in the form of government or private schools and keeps the responsibility and implementation of education directly in the hands of the child's own parents. Some homeschoolers believe that the education they provide for their children from home is a better preparation for adulthood than the institutional options available to them. Homeschooling is a diverse movement, stretching across economic, racial, religious and political groups.

As parents vary in their reasons and philosophies of homeschooling, the methods employed are equally diverse, as each family chooses the education that best suits its children and circumstances. Though very few generalizations can be made, perhaps one can say that homeschoolers as a whole:

 * find mass schooling an inefficient use of the child's time.
 * believe individual and parental rights supersede government interest in the child.
 * homeschool out of a desire to give their children a superior education.
 * reserve the right to define education for their own family.

Parents who choose to homeschool may do so because they find mass schooling:
 * too religious or not religious enough.
 * too demanding or not rigorous enough.
 * moving too quickly or too slowly for their child.
 * unsafe or too confining.
 * too intrusive or too unresponsive.

Homeschooling is legal in the United States, though regulated variously. Some states have an entirely hands-off policy while others require differing levels of notification or oversight. All states have many support groups which can provide information, interaction, and learning opportunities.

History and General Information

Perspectives
Methods of homeschooling, which are often combined or modified in practice, include:

 * Charlotte Mason- A British educator who invested her life in improving the quality of children's education. Her ideas led to one of the primary methods of homeschooling.
 * Networked learning- A process of developing and maintaining connections with people and information, and communicating in such a way so as to support one another's learning.
 * Unit Study- It is defined as an in-depth study of a topic (space, trees, cars, etc.) that takes into account many areas of the topic, such as geography, science, history, art, etc. It is a complete immersion into the topic so that the student will see things as a "whole" instead of bits and pieces learned throughout their education.
 * Unschooling- unschoolers find that the use of standard curricula and conventional grading methods, as well as other features of traditional schooling, are unnecessary and sometimes counterproductive for maximizing the education of each child. Instead, unschoolers typically allow children to learn through their natural life experiences, including game play, household responsibilities, and social interaction.

Pros and Cons
Pros:
 * Educational Freedom
 * Physical Freedom
 * Religious Freedom
 * Closer Family Relationships
 * Stability During Difficult Times
 * Well-Rested Kids
 * No Busy Work

Cons:
 * The Time Restraints
 * Financial Restraints
 * Limited Interaction With Other Kids
 * Being with Your Kids 24/7
 * Limited Team Sports
 * Living Outside the Norm

Amazigh

Etymology
From, , an endogenous ethnonym. First attested in European languages in antiquity in Greek and Latin sources where it appears in various forms such as and.

In Berber, it has the meaning “free, noble man”. There is no consensus on its etymology. It seems to be the agent noun of an ancient radical *ZƔ which could be related to the verbal root, attested in Central Atlas Tamazight and to the pan-Berber noun (pl. tizeɣwin). If this link is correct, the word amaziɣ would have originally meant “the nomad, he who lives under the tent” or “the inhabitant, the resident”.

With the regular sound correspondence of Tamazight to the corresponding Semitic roots k, q; in turn a related Afroasiatic language group, is, which does have the meaning of “free”, “to be purified from excess”, “to dispense of filth or materials”, to improve”, “to free something of inefficiencies”, “to shed its burdens”, “not to be bogged down”, “to allow to thrive or move freely”.

Noun

 * 1) A member of a particular ethnic group indigenous to northwest Africa; a Berber.

Proper noun

 * 1) Any of several  spoken by the Amazigh people.

"Political Comments" Removed
The contribution below was removed because it's "political" in nature. Well of course it's political - the page is about a current politician!

Please clarify what needs to be added and re-add to the page once done. ARMY101 (talk) 16:06, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Just to clarify the anti-Alberta comments section was not removed, it is still in the article because it is properly sourced to independent third party references.

 * The "2012 Attendance Record", "Inactivity" and "2013 Attendance Record" sections were removed, not because they are political in nature, but because they are either unsourced or sourced to a Conservative party website. As explained at WP:BLP claims of this type must be sourced to independent reliable third party sources or must be removed immediately. As I indicated in the edit summary, this sort of claim can only be put back into the article with independent reliable third party sources. Postings by the article subject's political opponents are not acceptable sources. - Ahunt (talk) 16:21, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

F. Ritter Shumway

Frank Ritter Shumway (27 March 1906 – 9 March 1992) was a major figure in figure skating in the United States.

From 1951 to 1965, he was president of the Ritter Company, a dental chair manufacturer founded by his grandfather Frank Ritter, and later led the company's successor, the Sybron Corporation. The Ritter line was later bought from Sybron by Midmark, and the line is still being sold today.

In 1955, Shumway founded the Genesee Figure Skating Club after becoming active (and setting records) in the over-35 category of figure skating competition. Needing a place to train, he donated money to the Rochester Institute of Technology to add an ice rink to its downtown Rochester campus. The ice rink was later named for Shumway. When RIT was forced to move in the mid-1960s, he ensured that the new Henrietta campus would also have an ice arena. The new rink, the Frank Ritter Memorial Ice Arena, was named for Shumway's grandfather, a founder of one of RIT's forerunners, the Mechanics Institute. The Genesee Figure Skating Club also moved to the new arena when it was built in 1968. The Shumway arena was also home to the Rochester Ice Cats, a special needs hockey team. The Ice Cats had home games and practices at the arena. Now, they have their practices and home games at Bill Gray's Regional Iceplex.

Shumway became president of the United States Figure Skating Association in 1961, shortly before the entire U.S. figure skating team, with coaches and family, died in the crash of Sabena Flight 548 (15 February 1961). Shumway was instrumental in uniting the figure skating community in its grief and providing an outlet for that grief, in the form of the USFSA Memorial Fund. Shumway said in September of that year: "We will take our Memorial Fund a giant skating stroke forward toward our goal of perpetuating the memory of our gallant 1961 World Team skaters, not so much by statuary and plaques, as by giving us the means to assist talented young skaters — many of them yet 'undiscovered' — to get started, to develop and advance, and eventually to represent our country in future years, and to be ranked at the top of the world in the art of figure skating."

Shumway and his wife, Hettie (née Lakin), were generous donors to RIT. Hettie Shumway is the namesake of one of RIT's dining halls.

Shumway was inducted into the U.S. and World Figure Skating Hall of Fames in 1986. He continued ice skating until just months before his death in 1992.

Web Writing/Introduction

Lesson 1 of Web Writing unit

What is Web Writing?
The Internet can be seen as many things, not the least of which is a book, cross referenced and linked through thousands of channels of data that flow across the screens of millions of computers. All the people who contribute to this massive collaboration are writing for the web.

Why write for the web?
Why do we do it? What is the attraction of writing on the Information Super-Highway? It is, as this document is, instant gratification. We can see the things that we have written and know that they are online as soon as we click the "Save" button. That is all it takes now in this world of electronic literacy: merely to save it and we have done our part. No longer do we have to wait as a publishing house mulls over the good points and the bad of our manuscripts. A hundred thousand people can see our thoughts in the blink of an eye. If they search Google long enough they can see this very article. It could be how you found it. Writing for the web confers a sort of instant immortality in an increasingly anonymous world.

Writing for the web is the next big thing. It will carry us into the next hundred years and beyond. All the communication technologies that we have seen on Star Trek and other such shows start here. This is the dawning of a new era. Wanna be a pioneer? This is where the wagons are taking off from.

Who are we?
Welcome to the online home of the Web Writer's Guide, a society where teaching the Internet is not just for the Saturday evening adult education courses. This is the real thing. Take some time to think about all the things that you have written and submitted to the Internet without breaking a sweat.

This course will be written in wiki format. For those of you who are new to the process, this is it. No indenting, links all over the place. It's the ugliest and most beautiful form of writing that mankind has come up with. As a teacher of English, I have come to realize that content is more important than the way the writing looks. To that end, I have formatted this course to look like what I will be talking about. This is a FacePage to a discussion on the writing that can be found on the net. By clicking on the top tab that says "Discussion," students will be able to interact on a level that is much deeper than that of a reality classroom. Think of it, a method of discourse that is immediately changeable and easily shaped through the work of others.

What's the Difference?
Writing for the web is simply not the same as writing for print. The first and most obvious difference is interactivity. With a printed page, one cannot simply click away to the most interesting link. Instead, there is a linear progression which proceeds from a logical ordering of the subject matter, usually starting with chapter one and becoming increasingly complex as the text progresses.

Some rules of thumb
The Web is nonlinear, meaning that the reader enters and departs from any number of locations. In practical terms this means that your writing has to be:
 * Short and sharp. Use short sentences and break up long paragraphs. If you lose the reader's attention, something more interesting is only a click away.
 * Structured in a nonlinear hierarchy. This means that each piece must stand at least semi-independently from foregoing and following content.
 *  Navigable. With the printed page, you can go forward and backward, according to the authors' intentions.  With web writing, the reader decides how, when, and where to navigate through the entire online text.  Through devices such as headers and links, web writers encourage navigation.
 *  Interactive. You can yell at your television all you like, but you're unlikely to influence the course of events shown.  The web is different.  It is immediate and it is not only one way.  On the contrary, readers can, do, and should influence the content, tone, format, and presentation of the information.  A fine example of this is a wiki.  If you don't agree, just click edit, and modify this very text.

KangaRoos

KangaROOS is an American brand of sneaker originally produced from 1979 through the 1980s, with a later revival that continues in present. They were notable for having a small zippered pocket on the side of the shoe, large enough for a small amount of loose change, keys, etc.

KangaROOS were designed by American architect and jogging enthusiast Bob Gamm. Gamm was a running enthusiast who would go ten kilometers a day, but preferred light athletic clothes without pockets. He designed the sneakers for his own personal use as a place to store his keys and money, then marketed them effectively. His marketing design was successful, leading to sales in excess of 700,000 pairs a month by the early 1980s.

Further refinements on the original design led to several significant innovations in athletic footwear. One such innovation, the Dynacoil, was a patented energy release system designed in the mid-1980s by former Nike designer and KangaROOS VP design Ray Tonkel with consultant Al Gross and tested by NASA. Many other athletic shoe manufacturers would later incorporate similar designs into their shoes. In the early- to mid-1980s many USA professional athletes wore ROOS football and baseball shoes as well as shoes for running and training. Notables included Clyde Drexler (Basketball), Walter Payton, O.J. Anderson, William (the Fridge) Perry (football), Ozzie Smith, Vince Coleman and Ron Darling (baseball), Kenyan, Irish and Welsh track stars as part of Team KangaROOS (running). Jerry Rice wore KangaROOS in his rookie season before switching to Adidas in 1986.

There was a faddish dimension to the shoes, which became very popular among casual athletes and American schoolchildren. Gamm himself remained committed to KangaROOS as serious athletic footwear, and in 1985 he worked with a 10,000-square-meter testing facility called the KangaROOS Laboratory & Gymnasium at the University of Illinois. This allowed for refinement and development of the sneakers for many different sports, including American football, basketball, hockey, tennis, and track and field.

By the end of the 1980s, the popularity of the sneakers was on the decline, executives departed the company and KangaROOS were quietly withdrawn from the market. However, nostalgia, combined with an appreciation of the shoe's athletic design and its ubiquitous pocket, led to a reappearance of the shoe in the late 1990s.

Today, KangaROOS are sold in over sixty countries worldwide. Recent years have witnessed expansion through Central and South America as well as Asia. The footwear moved its strategic focus from performance sports to sports lifestyle footwear. While most still bear the zippered pocket on the side, some now have a side pouch up on the ankle, which can hold a small wallet.

Eastern Savings and Loans

Eastern Savings and Loans Credit Union Limited is a not-for-profit member-owned financial co-operative, based in Ipswich and operating through 25 local payment and information points in the East Anglian counties of Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and north Essex. The credit union has 6,500 members and manages £1.4 million in savings.

History
Eastern Savings and Loans traces its origins to the foundation of the Ipswich Credit Union in 2001, which became Ipswich and Suffolk Credit Union in 2005. South Norfolk Credit Union was formed in Norwich in 2002, becoming Norfolk Credit Union in 2007. The directors of both these credit unions agreed a merger in 2014, adopting the present name.

Rainbow Saver Anglia Credit Union, formed in Lowestoft in 1999, was included in merger discussions and joint meetings of all three credit unions showed a similar ethos and statistics. The merger with Rainbow Saver Anglia was expected to proceed at a later date, but it ceased trading in 2022.

The smaller North Cambridge Credit Union was formed in 1998, becoming the Cambridge City Credit Union in 2005; its 161 members voted to transfer engagements to Eastern Savings and Loans in 2015.

Activities
The credit union operates for the purpose of promoting thrift, providing credit and other financial services to its members at reasonable rates.

Membership of Eastern Savings and Loans is restricted by common bond to individuals living, working, studying or volunteering inside the boundaries of Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. Tenants of a number of housing associations, students enrolled at the British Racing School, Northern Racing College, Racing Welfare or The National Stud, employees of the East of England Co-operative Society and individuals related to and living in the same household as a member are also eligible to join. In 2022, it expanded to include north Essex in its common bond area.

In 2014, the credit union was awarded a grant of £100,000 by the Lloyds Banking Group Credit Union Development Fund to help support its reserves and facilitate mergers with neighbouring credit unions.

Eastern Savings and Loans runs a payroll deduction savings and loans scheme in conjunction with the East of England Co-operative Society, Ipswich Buses and a number of local authorities. The credit union is responsible for the operation of the scheme, with the employer facilitating monthly deductions from salary. A payment card, accepted at Post Office and PayPoint outlets, is also issued to members on request.

As is common with credit unions, Eastern Savings and Loans doesn't pay a fixed rate of interest on savings balances; instead, the organization distributes its trading surplus to members in the form of an annual dividend calculated on average savings or as a rebate of loan interest paid.

The credit union offers business, third sector and corporate deposit accounts to organisations based in the area covered by the membership requirements. The Change Account card, issued on behalf of Eastern Savings and Loans, functions in a similar way to a High Street bank account.

Eastern Savings and Loans is a member of the Association of British Credit Unions Limited, registered under the Credit Union Act 1979 and the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014, and is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and PRA. As with banks and building societies, members' savings are protected against business failure by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Cody Carlson

Matthew Cody Carlson (born November 5, 1963) is an American former professional football player who spent his entire eight-year career as a quarterback for the Houston Oilers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Baylor Bears was selected by the Houston Oilers in the third round of the 1987 NFL draft. Carlson played for the Oilers from 1987 to 1994. His nickname while with the team was Commander Cody.

NFL career
Carlson began his career with the Houston Oilers as a backup to Warren Moon, and his most productive season was during the 1992 season due to Moon getting injured. He passed for 1,710 yards in 11 games (6 starts). Overall, he posted a 10–4 record as a starter during his years as Moon's backup. Moon departed after the 1993 season with Carlson named as his starting replacement. However, he lasted only five games into the 1994 season, posting a 1–4 record and 44.7 completion percentage before he suffered an injury and missed the remainder of the year. The Oilers ended the season with a franchise-worst 2-14 record. The coaching change in the middle of the 1994 season signaled a new direction for the Oilers, and, with Carlson coming off his injury, the team opted to let him go. He retired after the 1994 NFL season.

He now lives in Austin, Texas.

USA-66

USA-66, also known as GPS IIA-1, GPS II-10 and GPS SVN-23, was an American navigation satellite which formed part of the Global Positioning System. It was the first of nineteen Block IIA GPS satellites to be launched, and was the oldest GPS satellite still in operation until its decommissioning on 25 January 2016.

Background
Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense to provide all-weather round-the-clock navigation capabilities for military ground, sea, and air forces. Since its implementation, GPS has also become an integral asset in numerous civilian applications and industries around the globe, including recreational used (e.g., boating, aircraft, hiking), corporate vehicle fleet tracking, and surveying. GPS employs 24 spacecraft in 20,200 km circular orbits inclined at 55.0°. These vehicles are placed in 6 orbit planes with four operational satellites in each plane.

GPS Block 2 was the operational system, following the demonstration system composed of Block 1 (Navstar 1 - 11) spacecraft. These spacecraft were 3-axis stabilized, nadir pointing using reaction wheels. Dual solar arrays supplied 710 watts of power. They used S-band (SGLS) communications for control and telemetry and Ultra high frequency (UHF) cross-link between spacecraft. The payload consisted of two L-band navigation signals at 1575.42 MHz (L1) and 1227.60 MHz (L2). Each spacecraft carried 2 rubidium and 2 Cesium clocks and nuclear detonation detection sensors. Built by Rockwell Space Systems for the U.S. Air force, the spacecraft measured 5.3 m across with solar panels deployed and had a design life of 7.5 years.

Launch
USA-66 was launched at 21:39:01 UTC on 26 November 1990, atop a Delta II launch vehicle, flight number D201, flying in the 7925-9.5 configuration. The launch took place from Launch Complex 17A (LC-17A) at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), and placed USA-66 into a transfer orbit. The satellite raised itself into medium Earth orbit using a Star-37XFP apogee motor.

Mission
On 30 December 1990, USA-66 was in an orbit with a perigee of 19935 km, an apogee of 20279 km, a period of 714.8 minutes, and 54.8° of inclination to the equator. It was initially given PRN 23, which it used until its retirement in February 2004; however, it was subsequently reactivated broadcasting PRN 32 and in February 2008 it rejoined the operational constellation.

It is located in slot 5 of plane E of the GPS constellation. The satellite has a mass of 840 kg. It had a design life of 7.5 years, but remained in service for over 25 years.

On 25 January 2016, USA-66 was decommissioned, and removed from the GPS constellation. When engineers took it offline, its disappearance triggered a software bug that left the timing of 15 of the remaining GPS satellites off by 13.7 microseconds, causing widespread GPS disruptions.

Talk:David E. Sanger

Sanger's sartorial style
Perhaps this is nitpicky, but articles about most reporters and editors don't allude to how they dress. I keep wanting to put the comment by Charlie Rose under trivia, but it's an amusing bit of color for this otherwise straightforward entry. AndreasKQ 15:45, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

"articles about most reporters and editors don't allude to how they dress." That's because nearly all reporters, editors, lawyers, and politicians dress the same. ---Dagme (talk) 01:51, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Views and Political Orientation?
He has published 2 books, given numerous lectures and made numerous TV appearances. Yet he has no views or political orientation? Hardly likely, but that's how he is presented in this abysmal and woefully inadequate article. ---Dagme (talk) 01:58, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
