All Rise: A Joyful Elegy for Fats Waller

All Rise: A Joyful Elegy for Fats Waller is an album by Jason Moran paying tribute to pianist/composer Fats Waller which was released on the Blue Note label.

Reception
Response was positive, with Metacritic assigning the album an aggregate score of 86 out of 100 based on 6 critical reviews indicating "Universal acclaim".

The AllMusic review by Steve Leggett called it "a marvelous tribute that still retains its own shape and coherency" and stated "it's not what one would expect. This album isn't full of stride piano, but it is full of Fats Waller's larger persona as a performer ... It's a stunning mix of piano jazz with moody, winsome late-night vocals, and it has plenty of get-up-and-go when it's time for it. If it doesn't sound much like Waller, one could imagine Waller would love it, and his signature songs are well represented".

All About Jazz reviewer Mark F. Turner said, "All Rise: A Joyful Elegy for Fats Waller re-envisions the music of the colorful pianist, singer, and entertainer who shook things up during the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s and 1930s. Fats Waller's bright musical canvas is the perfect outlet for Moran's multicolored ideas; a boisterous amalgam of blues, jazz, and house music ... Regardless of the era in which created, music still has the ability to move listeners in varied ways whether to sing, dance, or simply listen in a new way".

The jazz critic John Fordham, writing for The Guardian, commented: "Some Waller devotees will recoil, but this is a respectful tribute from a remarkable modern-music mind".

The PopMatters review by Will Layman observed "All Rise, then, seeks to provide a contemporary vision of Waller's music. And the challenge in doing so is not one born of the music seeming so old. Waller's music has been so resilient and popular for so long ... The challenge for Moran and Ndegeocello is to refract the music in ways that make it sound more vibrant and alive than its modern jazz variants could ... All Rise proves yet again that the cultural divide, at least in “jazz”, has crumbled and means little now—and that’s something to get on your feet and cheer (or dance) about".

In JazzTimes, Brad Farberman noted "All Rise is a mischievous record, rearranging Waller’s tunes and then daring the listener to recognize them. Or not dance to them. All Rise benefits from a healthy dose of misbehavior".

Cookbook:Rice an' Peas

| Vegan Cuisine | Caribbean cuisines | Rice

Rice an' peas is a traditional Caribbean dish, done easy in a rice cooker, great for your ital-eating Rastafarian or vegan friends. There's lots of ways to cook rice an' peas, but this one is easy and hassle free.

Ingredients

 * 1 cup beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans) (also known as "peas"), dried or canned
 * 1 cup brown rice
 * 1 cup coconut milk
 * 1 cup water

Procedure

 * 1) If using dried beans, cover them in water and soak for at least 8 hours.
 * 2) Drain and rinse the beans (even canned beans) prior to use.
 * 3) If using dried red kidney beans, boil briskly for 20 minutes, then drain again.
 * 4) Add rice, beans, water, and coconut milk to a rice cooker. If using a programmable cooker, set to cook for brown rice. For an on/off cooker, turn it on.
 * 5) In about 30 minutes your rice cooker will finish cooking the rice. Open, stir, and serve.

Warnings

 * It is important to soak and pre-cook dried kidney beans. Dried kidney beans will cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea unless they have been boiled briskly for at least twenty minutes to destroy the very indigestible phytohaemagglutinin that they contain—a slow cooker is not enough and can even make things worse. They will then need another 60–90 minutes at a slow simmer to become tender. Tinned kidney beans are quite safe and do not need pre-cooking as their preparation involves sufficient heat to destroy the toxin.

Hydrocarbons
Alkanes have a general formula of CnHn+2 (where n is a variable whole number). Alkanes have single carbon to carbon bonds and thus are saturated hydrocarbons and are the least reactive of all hydrocarbons. The boiling tempreture of alkanes increases as the number of carbon atoms increase. The first ten names of the first 10 alkanes are: Let’s count to 10: methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, decane

Alkenes
Alkenes have the general formula CnH2n (where n is a variable whole number). Alkenes contain a double carbon to carbon bond, thus making them more reactive and unsaturated. Alkenes undergo addition reactions in the presence of eg Bromine, where the double carbon to carbon bond is broken the molecule becomes an alkane. Alkenes are non-polar molecules, insoluble in water and the first four alkenes are gases, the others liquids at room tempreture. Alkenes are named similar to alkanes except the ene is added onto the end of the name eg a alkene with the formula C2H4 is called ethene. Unsaturation Nomenclature Z and E, cis and trans 8 Carbon Rule Preparation 1) Dehydrohalogenation 2) Dehalogenation 3) Dehydration of alcohols 4) Catalytic cracking of alkanes 5) Wittig synthesis

Isomers
molecules such as many larger hydrocarbons can have the same molecular formula but more than one structural formula, these are known as isomers. For example the molecular formula C4H10 has two isomers. One structual isomer forms butane while the other molecule can be rearranged to form methylpropane. The larger the molecule the more isomers that can be formed.

Suggest ideas for movie content
The movie might have several short live-action video sequences. I think that the live action scene should be at the part b. This way we have the actor to explain everything while being on the same web page that the actor is explaining.

The power of printing

October 31, 1517 Martin Luther is shown gathering up several documents and then moving through the streets of Wittenberg around All Saints Church. (voice-over) In the year 313, the emperors of the eastern and western Roman Empires, Gaius Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus and Flavius Galerius Valerius Licinianus Licinius, jointly declared that Christians could practice their religion without persecution. One thousand years later, the Roman Catholic Church exerted a strong influence in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation.
 *

Martin Luther, after 10 years in the priesthood, wrote down a set of questions that challenged the legitimacy of certain religious practices. With the aid of printing, Luther's challenge to the Roman Catholic Church spread rapidly and led to the fragmentation of Papal authority and the creation of new Christian denominations. Add some more about the impact of printing.....cheap books

January 15, 2001 Show Jimbo and the activation of the Wikipedia website then changing versions of a particular Wikipedia page through time. Show a graph of Wikipedia web traffic. Illustrate: Wikipedia (free encyclopedia) --> Wikibooks (free textbooks) --> Wikiversity (free education)

(voice-over) briefly describe collaborative editing using wiki technology state "Imagine a world in which every single person is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing. And we need your help."

Another possible scene: "No courses"
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees ruled-out conventional courses for Wikiversity.

Part 1 The club
Jerry does a Stand-up comedy routine with jokes about education. Jimbo (seriously balding, in the role of WMF New Projects Developer) is seen in the audience of the small comedy club. After the act, Jimbo approaches Jerry and says that the WMF would like Jerry to do an education-oriented wiki project.

Part 2 The Apartment
Setting: big city apartment. Jerry and George brain-storming for how to set up an education-oriented wiki. Jerry, Elaine, Kramer and George are characters of the Seinfeld show. They are used here with no intent for profit or confusion with the actual Seinfeld show, just to illustrate a funny approach talking about Wikiversity through respectful imitation of great comedic technique.

GEORGE: WMF wants you to do a project?

JERRY: They want an education project. I have the name, Wikiversity, but I don't have any ideas for the project.

GEORGE: Come on, Wikiversity? What kind of a name is that? Look at all these silly names, Wikipedia, Wikibooks, come on! At least use a real name!

JERRY: Well, I already ran the name past Jimbo at WMF and he's happy with the name.

GEORGE: What? These people are wikinuts!

JERRY: George, I don't have time for this. The name is a done deal. What I need is a way to pitch the project.

GEORGE: Hey, if they like "wikiversity" how hard can this be? Here's an idea. Start with a course on computers. There are millions of computer nerds on the internet who will go to Wikiversity and set up a course about computers.

JERRY: Mmmm, I don't know. Computer nerds play games, they don't build online courses.

GEORGE: No, nerds are branching out. Look at Bill Gates. Getting married? Curing AIDS? Computer geeks can do anything, and they have cache. JERRY: No they don't, they used to have cache, last year. Then the new World of Warcraft level 60 domain opened and the computer geeks have not been seen since.

GEORGE: Oh yeah, like you know any geeks.

JERRY: Oh like you do.

KRAMER enters.

KRAMER: Hey, how's the wiki project coming along, Jerry?

JERRY: We're working on it.

<KRAMER takes a bottle out of the refrigerator and tries to open it. Not able to open the bottle, he keeps trying increasingly ridiculous methods to open the bottle while JERRY and GEORGE continue to talk to each other .... they go through several increasingly silly ideas about how to run conventional courses in wiki format, getting increasingly frustrated at not finding a practical way to make it happen. Finally Kramer, trying to open the bottle by forcing it into a corner, twists mightily and crashes to the floor. JERRY and GEORGE finally notice that KRAMER has a problem and come to KRAMER's aid.>

JERRY: Why are you making so much noise? We're trying to get some work done.

GEORGE picks up the bottle off of the floor.

GEORGE: Hey this is one of those new gamma-ray irradiated juice drinks.

JERRY: And that's all I'm going to drink from now on. (JERRY takes the bottle from GEORGE, and looks at the label) Kryptonium Berry Drink, guaranteed 100% nuked-to-death microbes and hermetically sealed.

KRAMER finally struggles to his feet.

KRAMER: But how do you open these new-fangled bottles?

JERRY: Hey! Elaine is online!

ELAINE: (video chat) Hi guys, what's up?

JERRY: Hey, Wikipedia does not list this Berry flavor. I'll add it to the list. (he types)

ELAINE: Did you try googling it?

GEORGE: You know, Jerry, this should be the wiki project. This is the education project.

JERRY: What?

GEORGE: This. Some people talking and figuring things out.

JERRY: (dismissing) Yeah, right.

GEORGE: I'm really serious. I think that's a good idea.

JERRY: Just talking?

GEORGE: Well, its wiki, so its people editing webpages together, not really talking.

JERRY: Well what's the whole wiki project about? Where are the courses?

GEORGE: There are no courses.

JERRY: No courses?

GEORGE: No. Forget about courses.

JERRY: You've got to have courses, it’s an education project.

GEORGE: Who says you gotta have courses? Its like, Wikipedia is a project where you make an encyclopedia. That could be a learning project. You just do learning projects.

JERRY: And who would do these learning projects? Who are the project participants?

GEORGE: Anyone could be a participant.

JERRY: Computer geeks?

GEORGE: Yeah. Just do a learning project where the computer geeks program a new video game.

JERRY: So, on the wiki, there's a learning project called "make a video game"?

GEORGE: Yeah. There's something wrong with that? It’s a project in the computer science department of Wikiversity. Computer geeks would collaborate to make a video game and in doing that project they learn about computers.

JERRY: And what else is at this wiki?

GEORGE: Elaine could do a help desk. She knows how to find out everything. Wiki participants will have a problem and they go to a page called "Ask Elaine". The wiki could even have chat channels for quick questions.

JERRY: Ask what? You mean like homework questions?

KRAMER: Oh, baby, Wikiversity, the WMF project that will do your homework!

GEORGE: The wiki does not do your homework, but the wiki community points you to what you need to do your homework.

JERRY: So, Wikiversity has geeks making computer games and chat channels and no courses?

GEORGE: Absolutely. No courses. Do you want people to be bored?

JERRY: So you're saying, I go in to WMF, and tell them I got this idea for an educational wiki project without courses.

GEORGE: We go into WMF.

JERRY: "We"? Since when are you a website developer?

GEORGE: (Scoffs) Website developer. We're talking about a wiki.

JERRY: You want to pitch this crazy idea to WMF?

GEORGE: Yeah. I think we really go something here.

JERRY: What do we got?

GEORGE: An idea.

JERRY: What idea?

GEORGE: An idea for Wikiversity.

JERRY: I still don't know what the idea is.

GEORGE: It's about not having courses.

JERRY: Right.

GEORGE: Everybody else does courses, Wikiversity will do learning projects.

JERRY: So, we go into WMF, we tell them we've got an idea for their great new educational wiki and it has no courses.

GEORGE: Exactly.

JERRY: They say, "What's Wikiversity about?" I say, "No courses."

GEORGE: There you go.

(A moment passes)

JERRY: (Nodding) I think you may have something there.

Part 3 WMF

JERRY: What's the matter?

GEORGE: (Nervous) Nothing.

JERRY: You sure? You look nervous.

GEORGE: No, I'm fine. I'm good. I'm very good.

JERRY: What, are you nervous?

GEORGE: No, not nervous. I'm good, very good. (A beat, then he snaps) I can't do this! Can't do this!

JERRY: What?

GEORGE: I can't do this! I can't do it. I have tried. I'm here. It's impossible.

JERRY: This was your idea!

GEORGE: What idea? I just said something. I didn't know you were going to listen to me.

JERRY: Dont' worry about it. They're just wiki geeks.

GEORGE: They're men with no jobs, Jerry! They wear sweat pants and tee-shirts. They know Mediawiki markup, they have registered usernames and, and multiple sockpuppets.

JERRY: I told you not to come.

RECEPTIONIST: They're ready for you.

JERRY gulps and walks in with GEORGE. Inside is a large board table with men sitting in suits at it.

JERRY leans over and whispers to GEORGE.

JERRY: They're not wearing sweat pants and tee-shirts.

JIMBO WALES: Mr. Sanger, Mr. Flailes take a seat.

GEORGE: Nice leather jacket Mr. Wales, sir.

GEORGE gulps and smiles awkwardly

Adaptation of the "no courses"
Please note that this is only an adaption of the above idea. I decided to do this because that one seemed to be copy-and-pasted. I’ve changed the names, changed some lines and added an extra scene.

Scene 1: The school

 * Set: School, IT classroom
 * Characters: Jerry, High school class

JERRY: Right class. Remember those HTML tags for next week’s lesson. Alright? Class dismissed.

JERRY: Do you have a question Alvin?

ALVIN: Uhhh… Mr Sanger, sir. Why are we learning HTML?

JERRY: Well, what else can you use to make websites?

ALVIN: We could use wiki markup.

JERRY: Yeah, maybe we’ll do that next year. Bye Alvin. Have a good evening.

ALVIN: Bye Mr. Sanger.

Scene 2: The road/titles

Scene 3: The club
JERRY does a Stand-up comedy routine with jokes about education and university on the internet. Jimbo (seriously balding, in the role of WMF New Projects Developer) is seen in the audience of the small comedy club. After the act, Jimbo approaches Jerry and says that the WMF would like Jerry to do an education-oriented wiki project.

Scene 4: The Apartment

 * Set: Big city apartment
 * Characters: Jerry, George, Kramer, Elaine (on webcam)

GEORGE: Wikimedia wants you to do a project?

JERRY: Yeah, they want an education project. I want to call it Wikiversity but I don’t actually know what to put in it.

GEORGE: That’s useful. It always helps to have an idea of what you’re going to do; content is king. Anyway, Wikiversity? What sort of a name is that?

JERRY: Well, I already ran the name past this Jimbo guy at Wikimedia and he's happy with the name.

GEORGE: What? These people are nerds! They love the word ‘wiki’! they’re wikinuts!

JERRY: George, I don't have time for this. The name is a done deal. What I need is a way to pitch the project.

Finally Kramer, trying to open the bottle by forcing it into a corner, twists mightily and crashes to the floor. JERRY and GEORGE finally notice that KRAMER has a problem and come to KRAMER's aid.>

JERRY: Why are you making so much noise? We're trying to get some work done.

GEORGE: Hey this is one of those new gamma-ray irradiated juice drinks.

JERRY: And that's all I'm going to drink from now on.

JERRY: Kryptonium Berry Drink, guaranteed 100% nuked-to-death microbes and hermetically sealed.

KRAMER: But how do you open these new-fangled bottles?

JERRY: Hey! Elaine is online!

ELAINE: (video chat) Hi guys, what's up?

JERRY: Hey, Wikipedia doesn’t list this Berry flavor. I'll add it to the list.

<JERRY types on keyboard.>

ELAINE: Did you try googling it?

<Jerry finally finds the solution by searching the internet, they open the bottle and Jerry adds the trick for opening the bottle to the Kryptonium Juice Drinks article of Wikipedia.>

GEORGE: You know, Jerry, this should be the wiki project. This is the education project.

JERRY: What?

GEORGE: This: some people talking and figuring things out.

JERRY: (dismissing) Yeah, right.

GEORGE: I'm really serious. I think that's a good idea.

JERRY: Just… talking?

GEORGE: Well, it’s a wiki, so its people editing web pages together, not really talking.

JERRY: Well what's the whole wiki project about? Where are the courses?

GEORGE: There are no courses.

JERRY: No courses?

GEORGE: No. Forget about courses.

JERRY: You've got to have courses; it’s an education project.

GEORGE: Who says you gotta have courses? Its like, Wikipedia is a project where you make an encyclopedia. That could be a learning project. You just do learning projects.

JERRY: And who would do these learning projects? Who’s be a member of them?

GEORGE: Anyone could be a member.

JERRY: Think about it. It’s only gonna be nerdy computer geeks with pens sticking out of their top pockets!

GEORGE: Yeah. Just do a learning project where the computer geeks program a new video game.

JERRY: So, on the wiki, there's a learning project called "make a video game"?

GEORGE: Yeah. There's something wrong with that? It’s a project in the computer science department of Wikiversity. These computer geeks would collaborate to make a video game and in doing that project they learn about computers.

JERRY: And what else is at this wiki?

GEORGE: Elaine could do a help desk. She knows how to find out everything. Wiki participants will have a problem and they go to a page called "Ask Elaine". The wiki could even have chat channels for quick questions.

JERRY: Ask what? You mean like homework questions?

KRAMER: Oh, baby, Wikiversity, the Wikimedia project that will do your homework!

GEORGE: The wiki doesn’t do your homework, but the wiki community points you to what you need to do your homework.

JERRY: So, Wikiversity has geeks making computer games and chat channels and no courses?

GEORGE: Absolutely. No courses. Do you want people to be bored?

JERRY: So you're saying, I go in to Wikimedia, and tell them I’ve got this idea for an educational wiki project without courses.

GEORGE: We go into Wikimedia.

JERRY: "We"? Since when are you a website developer? Since when did you know everything about computers?

GEORGE: (Scoffs) Website developer? We're talking about a wiki here.

JERRY: You want to pitch this crazy idea to Wikimedia?

GEORGE: Yeah. I think we really got something here.

JERRY: Which is?

GEORGE: An idea.

JERRY: What idea?

GEORGE: An idea for Wikiversity.

JERRY: I still don't know what the idea is.

GEORGE: It's about not having courses.

JERRY: Right.

GEORGE: Everybody else does courses, Wikiversity will do learning projects.

JERRY: So, we go into Wikimedia, we tell them we've got an idea for their great new educational wiki and it has no courses.

GEORGE: Exactly.

JERRY: They say, "What's Wikiversity about?" I say, "No courses."

GEORGE: There you go.

<A moment passes>

JERRY: <Nodding> I think you may have something there.

Part 3 WMF
<Jerry and George in the Wikimedia reception area, waiting>

JERRY: What's the matter?

GEORGE: (Nervous) Nothing. I’m fine.

JERRY:You sure? You look real nervous.

GEORGE: No, I'm fine. I'm good. I'm very good. I’m more good than normal?.

JERRY: Are you sure you’re not nervous?

GEORGE: No, I’m not nervous. I'm good, very good. I’m fine. <George waits a moment then snaps.> I can’t do this! Get me out of here!

JERRY: What?

GEORGE: I can't do this! I can't do it. I’m gonna try and I’m gonna fail. I’m going to embarrass myself!

JERRY: This was your idea!

GEORGE: What idea? I just said something. I didn't know you were going to listen to me.

JERRY: Don’t worry about it. They're just wiki geeks.

GEORGE: They're men with no jobs, Jerry! They wear sweat pants and tee-shirts. They know Mediawiki markup, they have registered usernames and, and multicolored signatures!

JERRY: I told you not to come.

RECEPTIONIST: They're ready for you.

JERRY gulps and walks in with GEORGE. Inside is a large board table with men sitting in suits at it.

JERRY leans over and whispers to GEORGE.

JERRY: They're not wearing sweat pants and tee-shirts.

JIMBO WALES: Mr. Sanger, Mr. Flailes take a seat.

GEORGE: Nice leather jacket Mr. Wales, sir.

GEORGE gulps and smiles awkwardly

JIMBO WALES: So, Jerry, what have you come up with since we met last?

Super16 (film school)

Super16 is a Danish non-traditional film school based at the Nordisk Film Studio in Valby, Copenhagen. The name of the school refers to both the economical Super 16 mm film gauge, and to the number of participants in each class: 6 directors, 6 producers and 4 screenwriters (expanded to 6 in 2021). Each class program is for a 3-year period and produces 6 films annually. Although English-speaking applicants can apply, all instruction and communication is held in Danish.

The school was founded in 1999 as an alternative to the National Film School of Denmark. During its first twelve years, Super16 focused only on direction and production, but began including screenwriters in its 7th class in 2011. The school receives no public funding, but relies on support from the Danish film industry, including Nordisk Film and the Danish Film Institute.

The three founders of the school, Carsten Myllerup, Linda Krogsøe Holmberg, and Jens Mikkelsen, received in 2010 a Bodil Honorary Award for their work.

In 2015 Variety named Super16 as one of top 40 filmschools in the world.

In 2021 the screenwriting class at Super16 was expanded from 4 to 6 students which equaled it with the producing and directing class.

Cloonmorris Ogham stone

The Cloonmorris Ogham Stone is an ancient monument at Saint Michael's Church, Bornacoola, County Leitrim, in Ireland.

Description
It is the only Ogham inscribed stone to be recorded in County Leitrim. First examined by Mac Neill in 1909, the stone then marked the Kellagher family burial plot "opposite the middle of the eastern gable of the ruin" of Cloonmorris church. The long stone dates to c. 400, has an ecclesiastical association, and is not definitely post-apocope.

The defaced inscription makes accurate reading difficult. The inscription reads, or , expanding to "QENUVEN[DI--" and translating to "QVENVENDANI", "(hair of the) head" + "fair" + diminutive suffix. Korlev interpreted the inscription as "" while Gippert (1978) suggested the inscription was "" marking the genealogy ?

MacNeill thought the stone was probably the memorial of one  (Ceanannán, Ceannán). In Wales the name  occurs on a British-Latin inscription at Parcau near Whitland in Carmarthenshire, and is believed to identify a person of Gaelic, rather than Brythonic, origin. Scholars noted the Cloonmorris is "hardly a stone's throw from the boundary" between Longford and Leitrim, the stone standing inside the historic Conmhaícne territory once separating the Kingdom of Meath from Connacht.

the stone was moved and enclosed on a pedestal near the churchyard entrance, but in doing so was placed into an inverted (top-down) position.

Portuguese Wikibook
Welcome to the Portuguese language Wikibook. Here you can learn the different parts to the Portuguese language through our grammar references and our course. Why not start with the feature word? Previous knowledge on a closely-related languages (Romance languages—occasionally called the Latin languages or, less often, the Romanic or Neo-Latin languages) like Catalan, French, Italian and Spanish might make studying Portuguese much easier.

There are several differences among the three main dialects of Portuguese: as it is spoken in Portugal (European Portuguese), as it is spoken in Brazil (Brazilian Portuguese), and as it is spoken in Africa (African Portuguese). While their written forms are very similar, there are some differences in the spoken language (both in phonology and syntax) that are specific to each of them. Galician, which is a language spoken in Galicia, is not a Portuguese dialect, as sometimes it is stated, but Galician and Portuguese can be seen as two dialects of the same language - Galician-Portuguese).

Brazilian and African Portuguese show a great influence in their vocabulary from aboriginal languages and Bantu languages which are not present in European Portuguese. Their phonology is more similar to older European Portuguese variants. Brazilian Portuguese also has several unique Americanisms.

Xu You (Han dynasty)

Xu You (died 204), courtesy name Ziyuan, was an adviser during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China. He served under the warlord Yuan Shao from 191 to 200 and then under the warlord and Grand chancellor of the Han Cao Cao from 200 until he was executed by the latter in 204 during the End of the Han dynasty.

Life
Little is recorded about Xu You in history. The first mention of him was in 184, when he plotted with Wang Fen (王芬), the Inspector of Ji Province, and other officials to overthrow Emperor Ling ((r. undefined – undefined) 168–189) and replace him with the Marquis of Hefei (合肥侯). Xu You tried to persuade Cao Cao, a friend of his, to participate in the plot but Cao Cao refused. Eventually, the plot failed and Wang Fen committed suicide while Xu You fled.

Around 191, after the warlord Yuan Shao seized control of Ji Province from its governor Han Fu, he recruited Xu You to serve as an adviser under him. During this time, Xu You advised Yuan Shao to maintain an alliance with Cao Cao, who had also become a warlord based in the Henan region south of Yuan Shao's territories in Hebei.

In 195 or 196, Xu You advised Yuan Shao to welcome the figurehead Emperor Xian to Ji Province so that he can control the emperor and use him as a "trump card" against rival warlords. However, Yuan Shao heeded the advice of his other advisers instead and let the opportunity slip by. Eventually, Cao Cao received Emperor Xian and brought him to his base in Xu (許; present-day Xuchang, Henan), which became the new imperial capital. Xu You felt disgruntled with Yuan Shao for not heeding his advice.

In 200, when the Battle of Guandu broke out between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Xu You advised Yuan Shao to adopt a slow, steady and step-by-step approach towards attacking Cao Cao, but Yuan Shao again refused to listen as he preferred an all-out approach. Xu You, who was notorious for being greedy and corrupt, had allowed his family members to solicit bribes and commit crimes. Shen Pei, another of Yuan Shao's subordinates who was in charge of coordinating the mobilisation of troops for the Guandu campaign, had Xu You's family members arrested. Shen Pei then reported it to Yuan Shao, who scolded Xu You. Xu You, fearing that he had fallen out of Yuan Shao's favour, escaped from Yuan Shao's camp and defected to Cao Cao's side. Cao Cao was so overjoyed when he heard of his old friend's arrival that he even forgot to wear his shoes when he came out to welcome Xu You. Xu You pointed out the location of Yuan Shao's supply depot at Wuchao (烏巢) and urged Cao Cao to attack Wuchao and destroy Yuan Shao's supplies to force the enemy to retreat. During the battle Xu You advocated the execution of Yuan Shao's soldiers. Cao Cao led a successful raid on Wuchao and destroyed all of Yuan Shao's supplies, leading to his eventual victory over Yuan Shao at the Battle of Guandu.

During the Battle of Ye in 204, Xu You advised Cao Cao to direct the waters of the Zhang River (漳河) to flood Ye city, the capital of Ji Province. Cao Cao was thus able to conquer Ji Province. Xu You became increasingly arrogant as he believed that he had made great contributions in helping Cao Cao defeat Yuan Shao. He often behaved rudely and disrespectfully in front of Cao Cao, including calling Cao Cao by his childhood name. Although Cao Cao appeared to laugh off Xu You's behaviour, he secretly bore a grudge against Xu You. One day, when Xu You passed through the gates of Ye city, he told everyone that Cao Cao would not have been able to enter Ye city without his help. Cao Cao could no longer tolerate Xu You's behaviour so he ordered Xu You's arrest and eventual execution.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Xu You is portrayed as a childhood friend of Cao Cao's. His defection and the events leading up to his death are similar. After the Cao occupation of Jizhou, Xu Chu overhears Xu's boasting. He is killed and his head brought to Cao Cao, who scolds Xu Chu, and orders a lavish burial for his friend. It is not made clear whether Cao's gesture is genuine.

In popular culture
Xu You was played by Xu Maomao in the 2010 television series Three Kingdoms. He also makes an appearance in the Dynasty Warriors series of video games.

C++/Introduction

Hello World!
The first program that most aspiring programmers write is the classic "Hello World" program. The purpose of this program is to display the text "Hello World!" to the user. The "Hello World" example is somewhat famous as it is often the first program presented when introducing a programming language.

NOTE:

The 'return 0;' as shown above, is not a necessary addition to the 'hello world' program. A return value of 0 in main simply signals to the operating system that everything went smoothly. By default, a C++ program will always return 0 if there is no return at the end of main.

Understanding the Code
Before discussing the particulars, it is useful to think of a computer program simultaneously in terms of both its structure and its meaning.

A C++ program is structured in a specific, particular manner. C++ is a language and therefore has a grammar similar to a spoken language like English. The grammar of computer languages is usually much, much simpler than spoken languages but comes with the disadvantage of having stricter rules. Applying this structure or grammar to the language is what allows the computer to understand the program and what it is supposed to do.

The overall program has a structure, but it is also important to understand the purpose of part of that structure. By analogy, a textbook can be split into sections, chapters, paragraphs, sentences, and words (the structure), but it is also necessary to understand the overall meaning of the words, the sentences, and chapters to fully understand the content of the textbook. You can think of this as the semantics of the program.

A line-by-line analysis of the program should give a better idea of both the structure and meaning of the classic "Hello World" program.

#include
The hash sign (#) signifies the start of a preprocessor command. The include command is a specific preprocessor command that effectively copies and pastes the entire text of the file specified between the angle brackets into the source code. In this case the file is "iostream" which is a standard file that should come with the C++ compiler. This file name is short for "input-output streams"; in short, it contains code for displaying and getting text from the user.

The include statement allows a programmer to "include" this functionality in the program without having to literally cut and paste it into the source code every time. The iostream file is part of the C++ standard library, which provides a set of useful and commonly used functionality provided with the compiler. The "include" mechanism, however, can be used both for standard code provided by the compiler and for reusable files created by the programmer.

using namespace std
C++ supports the concept of namespaces. A namespace is essentially a prefix that is applied to all the names in a certain set. One way to think about namespaces is that they are like toolboxes with different useful tools. The  command tells the compiler to allow all the names in the "std" namespace to be usable without their prefix. The iostream file defines three names used in this program -,  , and   - which are all defined in the   namespace. "std" is short for "standard" since these names are defined in the standard C++ library that comes with the compiler.

Without  the std namespace, the names would have to include the prefix and be written as ,  , and. If we continue with the toolbox example, this code would be saying, "Use the,   and   tools from the   toolbox."

Please note that you should either remember the fact that the iostream file uses the 'std' name space or look it up in the documentation for the iostream file because C++ does not make this connection for you explicitly. A slight feeling of annoyance that you are forced to type this connection in every time you wish to write a new C++ program is entirely normal, indeed justified; may we urge you to consider it a small price to pay for avoiding all the tedious work of constantly retyping std::free in front of things in your program?

int main
The starting point of all C++ programs is the main function. This function is called by the operating system when your program is executed by the computer. By execution we mean: perform the actions specified by the statements in your program.

cin, cout
The name  is short for "character output" and , correspondingly, is an abbreviation for "character input".

In a typical C++ program, most function calls are of the form, such as   in the example above (where   is the object,   is the function name, and there are no arguments in the argument list). However, symbols such as  can also behave as functions, as illustrated by the use of   above. This capability is called operator overloading which will be discussed later on.

{ }
A block of code is defined with the { } tokens. { signifies the start of a block of code and } signifies the end.

NOTE: The { } tokens have other uses as well.

semicolons
Statements in C++ must be terminated with a semicolon, just as sentences in English must be terminated with a period. Just as sentences in English can span several lines, so can statements in C++. In fact you can use as many spaces and new lines between the words of a C++ program as you wish to beautify your code just as spaces are used to justify the text printed on the pages of a book.

At one point, IBM tried paying its programmers by the number of lines of code they wrote each week. This did not work very well for C programmers who could make one statement span thousands of lines by simply holding down the enter key to insert lots of new lines between the words of their programs.

return
The return keyword tells the program to return a value to the function that called this function and then to continue execution in the calling function from the point at which this function was called. The type of the value returned by a function must match the type specified in the declaration of the function.

Executing the return keyword in the main function of a program returns a value and the execution control to the operating system component that launched this program, in effect, terminating the execution of this program.

Compiling the code
In order for the computer to execute the code you have written, it needs to first be compiled by a C++ compiler. The compiler translates the textual representation of the program into a form that a computer can execute more efficiently.

What the compiler does
In very broad terms, the compiler is a translator that acts as an intermediary between the programmer and the CPU on the computer. A high-level language like C++ is actually a sort of 'compromise' language between the native language of the CPU (generally referred to as machine language) and the native language of the programmer (say English). Computers do not natively understand human languages, yet for someone to write computer code in the native language of the machine would be too difficult and time consuming. Therefore, the purpose of the computer language itself is to define a mid-point that is closer to how humans think and organize procedures but is still unambiguously translatable to the native machine language.

The compiler therefore is reading in the code written by the programmer and translating it into machine language code, that the computer can execute directly.

C++ is a compiled language that is converted to machine language by the compiler. Beginner programmers will likely also come across the notion of interpreted languages and interpreters. Since this text covers C++, interpreted languages are not covered in detail; however, in brief, an interpreter is like a compiler that converts the program into machine language at the time it is run on the computer rather than in advance as is done with a compiled language. An example of a interpreted language is JavaScript.

Running the compiler
The code needs to be compiled with a compiler to finish the process. What if you don't have one? Well, the good news is, there are several good compilers that are available for free. The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) has versions available for most systems and does a good job of implementing the ISO C++ standard. The clang compiler has complete support for C++11 and FreeBSD fully support clang and C++11. However, many people prefer to use an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) which provides a user friendly environment for developing programs. For MacOS X, there is Xcode which uses gcc for compiling C++. For Windows, there is Dev C++ which also uses gcc for compiling C++, Microsoft Visual C++ (and its free Express version), TCLITE, and ports of the GNU Compiler Collection distributed within Cygwin and MinGW. You might also enjoy using Geany

Each compiler is invoked in a specific way. For example, if you wish to use GCC, type the following into a terminal:

c++ ex.cpp -o example

Replace ex.cpp with the name of the source file containing the program you wish to compile. The file name you choose must have an extension of either .cpp or .c++

Replace example with the file name you wish to use to invoke the executable program.

If the compiler detects any errors it will write them out at the terminal so that you can take action to fix them by editing your source file. If no errors are detected the compiler will produce an executable program file, in this case called example in the same directory as the source file.

To invoke the compiled program and thus have your computer execute it, enter:

./example

and observe that your computer performs the actions you specified in your source file.

If you wish to use a different compiler, please consult the documentation describing that compiler for the correct way to invoke it.

C++ free online IDE
Beside installing C++ compiler along with its tool on your local machine, you can use the online C++ IDE which are totally free. Some famous free online C IDE are:

 * CodeChef
 * GDB Online
 * Ideone
 * paiza.IO
 * PythonTutor
 * repl.it
 * TutorialsPoint

Exercise 1
Copy the following, then edit it so it compiles correctly and prints "Hello, World!" on the screen

Exercise 2
Change the "Hello, World!" example above to display another line. If Spock were doing this exercise, he might add to it so that it would display:

Hello, World! Live long and prosper.

Exercise 3
Supposing you did use a:

statement to reduce the amount of typing required, try removing this statement and see if you can still get your program to compile and run without it.

Alternatively if you did not use such a statement, try adding it and seeing how many 'std::' prefixes you can remove as a consequence and still have your program compile and run successfully.

Merchant grew up in a family of modest means in India. He was one of nine children in a family of six boys and three girls. His father Gulam Hussain, was a real estate broker and his mother Malekbai was a housewife. The family's real estate business often did not do well and they led a hand-to-mouth existence. When Firoz was 11 years old, he discontinued his education to support his father in the day-to-day running of the business.

After his marriage, he decided to visit Dubai for honeymoon with his wife Rozina. In Dubai, he was mesmerized by the Dubai Gold Souk and he felt a connection to the country and the gold trade. After he left Dubai, he expressed his desire to his father to move to Dubai and try his hand at the gold business, and in 1989, he moved to Dubai to set up his own gold and diamonds trading business, Pure Gold Jewellers.

Philanthropy work
Firoz Merchant received the "Community Service Medal & Award" from Lt. General Sheikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior of the UAE at Interior Ministry.

Merchant has been involved in a number of philanthropic activities that have provided help and support for various communities. Merchant has contributed towards correctional institutions in order to release prisoners belonging to various nationalities jailed in the UAE. Merchant announced he will spend 1 million US dollars (3.8 million dirhams) to help free prisoners who are behind bars in UAE due to non-payment of debts. He has already paid 150,000 dirhams for the release of 132 prisoners from Ajman Central jail.

In May 2017, Merchant signed a memorandum of understanding with the UAE's Faraj Fund. He also provided financial aid to Ajman Police to treat a policeman suffering from a neurological disorder. It was reported that an amount of Dh60,000 was allocated for his Chinese acupuncture treatment in Jordan.

In April 2018, Merchant signed an agreement with the University of Fujairah to provide scholarships to five needy Emirati female undergraduate students scoring 85 percent and above in each semester.

Recognition
Merchant is a well-known business leader in the Middle East and widely quoted in the press. He is ranked No.26 on the Forbes Middle East List of Indian Owners 2014. Arabian Business placed him at No.28 on its 2014 Richest Indians in the GCC list with an estimated net worth of US$435 million.

Coccinella septempunctata

Coccinella septempunctata, the common ladybug, the seven-spot ladybird (or, in North America, seven-spotted ladybug or "C-7" ), is a carnivorous beetle native to the Old World and is the most common ladybird in Europe. The beetle is also found in North America, Central and Eastern Asia and regions with a temperate climate. Its elytra are of a red colour, but each punctuated with three black spots, with one further spot being spread over the junction of the two, making a total of seven spots, from which the species derives both its common and scientific names (from the Latin septem = "seven" and punctus = "spot").

Biology
Although C. septempunctata larvae and adults mainly eat aphids, they also feed on Thysanoptera, Aleyrodidae, on the larvae of Psyllidae and Cicadellidae, and on eggs and larvae of some beetles and butterflies. They breed one or two generations per year. Adults overwinter in ground litter in parks, gardens and forest edges and under tree bark and rocks.

C. septempunctata has a broad ecological range, generally living wherever there are aphids for it to eat. This includes, amongst other biotopes, meadows, fields, Pontic–Caspian steppe, parkland, gardens, Western European broadleaf forests and mixed forests.

In the United Kingdom, there are fears that the seven-spot ladybird is being outcompeted for food by the harlequin ladybird.

An adult seven-spot ladybird may reach a body length of 7.6 - 12.7 mm. Their distinctive spots and conspicuous colours warn of their toxicity, making them unappealing to predators. The species can secrete a fluid from joints in their legs which gives them a foul taste. A threatened ladybird may both play dead and secrete the unappetising substance to protect itself. The seven-spot ladybird synthesizes the toxic alkaloids, N-oxide coccinelline and its free base precoccinelline; depending on sex and diet, the spot size and coloration can provide some indication of how toxic the individual insect is to potential predators.

Distribution
The species can be found in Europe, North Africa, Australia, Cyprus, European Russia, the Caucasus, Siberia, the Russian Far East, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, the Transcaucasia, Kazakhstan, Middle Asia, Western Asia, Middle East, Afghanistan, Mongolia, China, North and South Korea, Pakistan, Nepal, North India, Japan, Sri Lanka, southeast Asia, and tropical Africa.

Biological control, introductions, and infestations
The species has been repeatedly introduced to North America as a biological control agent to reduce aphid numbers. The first record of successful establishment (after numerous failed attempts to introduce the species) in the United States was in 1973. It has since spread by natural dispersion to New York and Connecticut and to Oklahoma, Georgia and Delaware by recolonization.

In North America, this species has outcompeted many native species, including other Coccinella. Massive swarms of C. septempunctata took place in the drought summer of 1976 in the UK. The species has undergone significant declines on the island of Malta, yet it is unclear whether this decline has occurred at the same rate elsewhere.

In culture
C. septempunctata has been designated the national insect of Finland. In the United States, it is also the official state insect of five different states (Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Tennessee).

Kinetic inhibitor

Kinetic inhibitors are a new and evolving technology of a class of Low Dosage Hydrate Inhibitors (LDHI) that are polymers and copolymers (or a mix thereof). The most common of which is polyvinylcaprolactam (PVCap). These inhibitors are primarily utilized to retard the formation of clathrate hydrates. This problem becomes most prominent in flow lines when hydrocarbons and water flow through a line. The pressure and cold temperatures that could be exposed to the flow lines provides an environment in which clathrate hydrates can form and plug up the flow line. The inhibitors generally slow the formation of the hydrates enough so the fluid reaches storage without causing blockage.

Structure
There may be variations on the types and structure of the polymer used as the inhibitor. However, in general, while the gas hydrate is forming, the cavity where the hydrocarbon usually resides. Instead, the alkyl group penetrates the cavity followed by the carbonyl group of the amide group hydrogen bonding to the surface of the hydrate, thus preventing the formation of hydrates.

Uses
These inhibitors chemically retard the formation of clathrate hydrates. Dosage of such inhibitors in the fluid is usually .3% to .5% by weight of the fluid, compared to 10% to 50% by weight for thermodynamic inhibitors for prevention of clathrate formation. Due to this and other factors, kinetic inhibitors are more cost effective than thermodynamic inhibitors. However, if the fluid is in a static environment (i.e. packer fluid), kinetic inhibitors will have limited effect as hydrates will still form over sufficient time. At this point the only viable option is thermodynamic inhibitors.

Goad

The goad is a traditional farming implement, used to spur or guide livestock, usually oxen, which are pulling a plow or a cart; used also to round up cattle. It is a type of long stick with a pointed end, also known as the cattle prod.

The word is from Middle English gode, from Old English gād.

In Sophocles's Oedipus Rex, Oedipus's father Laius tried to kill his son with a goad when they accidentally met at a crossroads.

Religious significance
Goads in various guises are used as iconographic devices and may be seen in the 'elephant goad' or 'ankusha' (Sanskrit) in the hand of Ganesha, for example.

In Judges 3:31, Shamgar son of Anath kills six hundred Philistines with an ox goad.

Tischler and McHenry (2006: p. 251) in discussing the biblical account of 'goad' hold: In the early days, before Israel had its metal industries, farmers had to rely on the Philistines to sharpen their goads, as well as other metal tools, the plowshares and mattocks, forks, and axes (1 Sam. 13:20).

The image of prodding the reluctant or lazy creature made this a useful metaphor for sharp urgings, such as the prick of conscience, the nagging of a mate, or the "words of the wise," which are "firmly embedded nails" in human minds (Ecclesiastes 12:11-12).

Saint Paul, recounting the story of his conversion before King Agrippa, told of a voice he heard saying ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ Some versions of the actual account of his conversion earlier in the Acts of the Apostles also use the same phrase.

In the Latin alphabet, the letter L is derived from the Semitic crook or goad which stood for. This may originally have been based on an Egyptian hieroglyph that was adapted by Semites for alphabetic purposes. Pollack (2004: p. 146), in discussing 'Lamed, Path 22' the path from Gevurah to Tiferet, Justice, in the pathworking of the esoteric Kabbalah, states: We switch sides now and bring the power of Gevurah to the center. Lamed means 'goad' and in particular an ox-goad, as if we use the power of Gevurah to goad that Aleph ox, the silent letter, into a more tangible physical existence in the heart of the tree [of life]. Lamed begins the Hebrew words for both "learn" and "teach," and so encompasses the most Kabbalist of activities, study. Kabbalah has never been a path of pure sensation, but always has used study to goad us into higher consciousness. Lamed, alone of the Hebrew alphabet, reaches above the height of all the other letters. Through learning we extend ourselves above ordinary awareness.

Nobel Prize in Chemistry

Welcome to the Wikiversity learning project for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Participants in this learning project explore the science and practical applications for each year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

The Wikipedia articles about topics related to each Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine tens to be very technical descriptions of the underlying science. The goal of this learning project is to complement the Wikipedia articles in two ways. The first goal is to provide a user-friendly introduction to the topic. This means creating learning resources for people who would normally be unable to understand a technical Wikipedia article on the topic. These user-friendly introductions might particularly focus on the practical medical implications behind Nobel Prize-winning scientific research. The second goal is to provide learning resources that allow interested university students to explore the science behind each awarded Nobel Prize in more detail than is possible with the related Wikipedia article.

By year

 * 2006 Awarded to Roger D. Kornberg for his work on the molecular basis of eukaryotic transcription. Learn about the work on eukaryotic transcription from Kornberg's laboratory.

Hmmm, I thought it was easy, but no one's posted? Here goes. Farmer takes goat over, leaves wolf and cabbage. Leaves goat and returns to original side. takes cabbage, goes to opposite side. When he returns, takes the goat with him to the original side, leave the goat and pick up the wolf. Go over, leave wolf with cabbage on opposite side, return for goat. There you go.

Greetings and salutations, Wikipedians! My name is Kyra, which is my nom de plume pretty much everywhere on the Internet. Contrary, though perhaps not, to the second word in my username, I am a kitsune (spiritually, of course).

Currently, I reside in the United States, and am on the East Coast; that means my timezone is either UTC-5 or UTC-4 depending on whether or not daylight saving time is in effect. Please take that into consideration if a time sensitive comment is required to be left on my talk page.

Activities on Wikipedia

 * Patrolling the recent changes to eliminate vandalism.
 * Adding appropriate tags to articles as I come across them, such as stub and unreferenced articles.
 * Making small, though beneficial changes when needed (Removing POV, spelling corrections, etc.)
 * I also operate VixDaemon, a bot for finalizing userbox transclusions as the last step of userbox migration.
 * This list is not all-inclusive. I will make other edits if needed, such as expanding articles if possible or finding references if they are needed as well, just to name a few others.

Things I like

 * Computers
 * Gaming
 * World of Warcraft
 * Second Life
 * Reading

Stuff I've done

 * Userboxes - Userfied per WP:GUS or made, however I haven't made any yet.

Subpages

 * Sandbox - It's a box of sand where I occasionally make test edits.
 * Barnstars - A page where I keep the barnstars that other editors have decided to bestow upon myself.
