Renaming the ceremonies?
I'd like to solicit comment about the way the individual Prix Jutra→Iris ceremonies (which do not all have articles yet) are titled, with a view to potentially renaming them in a different format, before I continue filling in the still-missing articles. As the background is kind of long, however, I'm going to follow the "keep the initial RFC brief and then expand on it with a followup comment" format, rather than filing a really long RFC statement from the outset. Bearcat (talk) 16:43, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Background
In 2016, after the publication of a book which alleged that film director Claude Jutra (the original namesake of these awards) had sexually abused underage children, Québec Cinéma (the presenting organization) stripped his name from the awards. The ceremony that year was presented only under the name "(Prix) Québec Cinéma (Awards)", before being renamed Prix Iris the following year. On the English Wikipedia, we responded to the situation by using the titles "## Jutra Awards" up until the name stripping, and then the 2016 ceremony is uniquely titled "18th Quebec Cinema Awards" with its numbering continuing from the prior Jutra ceremony — but then the awards since then are titled "## Prix Iris" with the numbering reset back to one. The person who argued for this suggested that we should follow the template set by the Canadian Screen Awards, which had their numbering reset back to one when they launched under their current name — but that's not actually an equivalent scenario, because the Canadian Screen Awards were not a simple renaming of one award, but a merger of two awards which were not numerically aligned with each other previously. So not resetting the numbering in that case would have been literally impossible, because should they have been the "33rd Canadian Screen Awards" to keep continuity with the Genies, or the "27th Canadian Screen Awards" to keep continuity with the Geminis?

However, this is not what's happening on the French Wikipedia. Over there (where for obvious reasons the articles are all already fully in place), they're using a naming format that keeps the numbering going — instead of calling them the 1st, 2nd and 3rd "Prix Iris", the French Wikipedia is calling them the 19th, 20th and 21st "gala Québec Cinéma". (Admittedly they have left the older articles at the existing title format "## soirée des prix Jutra" rather than mass-renaming them, but they still keep the numbering consistent through the renaming rather than resetting the Iris ceremonies back to one.) This is also, in fact, more consistent with the official numbering of the ceremonies by Québec Cinéma itself — it also does not enumerate the Prix Iris as the 1st, 2nd and 3rd iterations of a new award, but as the 19th, 20th and 21st iterations of the same award under a different name. As far as I'm concerned the organization's own official numbering of its own presentations should be treated as definitive for how we number them here — but since there was a disagreement about this in the past, I felt it better to request comment rather than arbitrarily renaming them myself.

Accordingly, what I would like to propose is that we rename them all to "## Quebec Cinema Awards". The old names would obviously be retained as redirects so that people who expected those titles could find them that way, but we need to ensure that they're numbered the same way in both English and French, because the current inconsistency is confusing and reflects badly on the project — and at any rate, it constitutes original research to make our own arbitrary decision to renumber the awards differently than the awards number themselves. Bearcat (talk) 17:08, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

 * I think Bearcat's recommendation makes sense, and I like the way that the awards have been listed by French Wikipedia. But when I see how Québec Cinéma themselves list their awards, they appear to be doing so by year, rather than by a numbering sequence - see .  Might this be a better alternative (eg: 2019 Quebec Cinema Awards) ?  PK  T (alk)  20:33, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * It's not a question of how it organizes its website — the Canadian Screen Awards website is also organized by year rather than by ordinally numbering the ceremony, but their ceremonies clearly still have ordinal numbers in press releases and media coverage. Rather, we can look to sources like this (19e) and this (20e) and this (21e), which would clearly have reset the numbers to one if Québec Cinéma had reset the numbers to one.
 * But also, the reason it's not always a good idea to name award articles by year, particularly awards that are presented early in the calendar year to honour works released in the previous year, is that it sets up a POV conflict: is the Canadian Screen Awards ceremony that was supposed to happen last week, but got cancelled because coronapocalypse, the 2020 CSAs because the ceremony was supposed to happen in 2020, or are they the 2019 CSAs because they're honouring works that were released in 2019? You might certainly have an opinion on that, but other people might have a different one, which is precisely the reason why awards in that boat ordinate. To be fair, late-in-year awards like the Governor General's Literary Awards don't present the same problem — apart from a few isolated cases where a nominated work was published in December of the previous year and thus couldn't have been nominated last year because they weren't out yet, the GGs are almost always presented in the same year the works were published — but early-in-year awards, like the CSAs or the Academy Awards or these, set up a "which year do these awards really belong to?" issue. Bearcat (talk) 20:53, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

 * The thing that really bugs me here is that the numbering resets when it becomes the Iris Awards, but the year it was the "Quebec Cinema Awards" continues the previous numbering from the Jutra Awards. So not only is that reset questionable, it's not even consistent! Moving them all to "## Quebec Cinema Awards" makes sense to me, and I also like what the FR wiki is doing for the table list. — Kawnhr (talk) 04:59, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Bloom Clock/Organization

Theory
Bloom clocks work by keeping track, over several seasons, of what plants are found blooming at a particular time of year.

The early results are simply the order in which plants bloom.

Later results can be interpreted to yield a system which can match up bloom cycles to periods in the calendar year in different regions.

Project Discussion
Cf. Bloom Clock/Project Discussion

Templates
The bloom clock makes extensive use of templates.

Entry creation templates

 * bcp
 * bcp2

Page creation templates

 * bcp3

Taxa level

 * bcp-u
 * bcp-g
 * bcp-s
 * bcp-v

Navigation

 * bcp-nav
 * bcp-nav2 (currently blank)

Identification characteristics

 * bcp-chars

version tracking
Versions of the Bcp3 templates are tracked using these templates. They are blank, but can be modified to include categories in order to impliment a DPL search for older versions requiring updates. See ../Template versions/ for details.

Categories
Plant log pages use a large number of categories (eventually there could be hundreds of categories on each log).

Main Clock Pages

 * Temperate clocks go by season.
 * Other clocks (wet/dry season, etc.)... we don't have these yet.

User-specific Clock Pages

 * Users who add multiple entries at once may want to consider using personal clock pages to avoid edit conflicts (since it can take a while to sign under all the plants).

Plant Logs

 * Plant logs (pages using the prefix "BCP/") are the eventual target for all data. These pages are also used in a manner similar to templates on the visual based clocks.

 * Plant logs may eventually be placed in hundred of categories, in order to construct the visual clocks.

Visual-based Clocks

 * Regional and seasonal clock pages organized by flower color, plant type, and the time of year a plant blooms. These pages are created using DPL.

Guitar/Buying a Guitar

A new guitar can be purchased for a moderate price. Modern manufacturing techniques coupled with mass production keeps costs low while intonation and playability are preserved by precise machining. Most manufacturers offer a full range of guitars from budget to custom-shop.

Acoustic or Electric
The first decision a buyer has to make is which type of guitar to purchase. After deciding this the buyer should research the models available within their price-range. Research avoids impulse buying and allows an informed decision to be made. It is recommended that a first guitar be bought from a guitar shop. Pawn-brokers and charity shops may offer second-hand guitars but all decisions fall upon the buyer who may not be experienced in spotting flaws or damage. Guitar shops will offer a range of new guitars from established manufacturers and a selection of second-hand guitars without faults. It is important that the buyer not be swayed from their informed choice on the day of purchase. If you know that you want to play electric guitar in a band then this is the correct type of guitar to purchase. It is not uncommon that when faced with a bewildering range of guitars in a shop a buyer may choose to purchase a different type of guitar other than their original choice. If at anytime a doubt arises whilst purchasing it is better to walk away and review your aims and buying options.

Singer-songwriters favour the steel-string acoustic guitar as the standard accompaniment for solo performance. The buyer should be aware that acoustic guitars have no internal pickups for amplification so a microphone must be placed in front of the sound-hole for recording. An electro-acoustic guitar is an acoustic guitar with pickups and a quarter inch jack output which allows the electro-acoustic guitar to be plugged into an amplifier. Note that thin-line guitars are not true acoustics and it is a common error that beginners raise the action in the belief that there is something wrong with their thin-line guitar which despite its obvious acoustic build has buzzing strings and produces a weak volume when played unplugged. Thin-line guitars are electric guitars with a body that imparts an acoustic resonance when amplified.

Testing a guitar

 * The height of the strings above the fretboard is called the action. If the action is too low the strings will buzz and if the action is too high more effort is required to push the strings down. Acoustic guitars have their action set by the factory and should not need further adjustment and therefore acoustics with a high action should be avoided since this may be a sign of faulty construction or a warped neck. You can test the action by playing barre chords at different positions. If the barre chords are difficult to play then the action may be set too high.

 * Intonation is a term used to describe accurate tuning over the range of the guitar which is three octaves. A guitar with its intonation set correctly ensures that an open C chord played on the first three frets sounds the same as a C barre chord played at the eighth fret. Guitarists use octaves to check intonation by striking an open string then fretting its twelfth fret octave equivalent. The open string and its octave should be in tune together with neither being sharp or flat in relation to the other. On all electric guitars the intonation can be adjusted at home by the player using an electronic guitar tuner but for acoustic guitars any adjustments must be made by a luthier since the nut and bridge need to be adjusted by filing and shaving. Guitar manufacturers ensure that the intonation is set at the factory and a further check is normally made by guitar dealers before a guitar is put on display. A second-hand guitar must be tested for intonation problems as sometimes a warped neck will render accurate intonation impossible though the guitar may sound in tune in the first position. Intonation depends on the straightness of the neck, whether the nut allows correct spacing and seating of the strings, the height of the bridge, and the scale of the frets. Intonation and tuning are two related but different concepts. Setting the intonation is about preparing the guitar so that it can be accurately tuned across its complete range.

 * The guitar should be played from its first to last fret on all strings to check for fret buzz and wolf notes. Fret buzz may be present when the truss rod is not properly adjusted or the action has been set too low. Worn fretboards or incorrectly shaped fret-wire can also cause fret buzz. Wolf notes sound dull and lack sustain and in some cases they can affect the tuning stability of a guitar. It is common to find a wolf note on the G string in the first position though they can occur anywhere on the neck where string contact to the fret is impeded or incorrect. The problematic wolf note can be corrected by sending the guitar to a luthier for setting-up and adjustment. The luthier will ask you which make of guitar strings you use and will adjust the guitar for that gauge. The guitar must be restrung every time with that particular string brand and gauge to preserve the set-up. Re-grooving nuts, adjusting necks and permanent bridge alterations are best left to a luthier whose traditional skills coupled with modern tools like the oscilloscope and precision calipers ensures a stable match between the strings and the guitar.

 * Look for misaligned screws on electric guitars as these may be a sign of wear or previous adjustments. On acoustic guitars glue spots may point to flaws though in most cases they are just residue that wasn't wiped off the guitar and generally don't affect the tone or playability. Loose switches on electric guitars are common and if dirt has accumulated then the familiar crackling of reduced contact will be heard when a pot or switch is moved. Pots, switches and wiring can be replaced so a good electric guitar with these problems should not be dismissed though the price should reflect the cost of replacing the damaged parts. Look down the sight of the neck to check for a warped neck and to ensure that the guitar strings are all at the same height. The thickness (gauge) of the low E string may not allow it to sit in the nut groove correctly and it may be slightly higher than the other strings. This may be a sign that you need thinner gauge strings or that the guitar needs to be set-up. Run your finger along the neck edges where the fret-wire ends. Fret-wire is tapped into a fretboard and then cut flush with the neck edge. As you run your finger along you should not feel any fret-wire protruding and this is an indication that the manufacturer has ensured a degree of quality control.

 * The intonation tuners located on the bridge of most electric guitars should be in a neat staggered row with the high E string intonation tuner nearest to the neck and the low E string intonation tuner furthest away from the neck. If testing a guitar you notice that the intonation tuners are not in a diagonal line from the high E to low E than this is a sign that someone has attempted to adjust the bridge and intonation tuners to set the action and has probably rendered the guitar unplayable. This is not a construction fault and the intonation tuners can be adjusted so that the guitar can be tuned correctly. It is common when you see misaligned intonation tuners that the bridge has also been raised to its highest position. The only time a bridge should be deliberately raised to its highest position is when a guitarist chooses to set-up a guitar permanently for use with a slide.

Buying a guitar that suits your playing style

 * Try as many different necks as you can until you find a guitar neck that you feel comfortable with. Gibson favours a flat wide neck and Fender a thinner neck. Some guitarists find that bending strings on a Gibson neck is more stable and precise due to the extra surface while others prefer the thinner neck of a Fender and the ease with which you can bend strings an octave or more. Try different necks until you find one that responds to your playing style.

 * The guitar should be comfortable to hold. Some guitarists like the heavier weight of Gibsons while others prefer the thinner and lighter bodies of Stratocasters. More important is the sound characteristics of a guitar. Telecasters are not as comfortable to hold as Stratocasters but many guitarists are drawn to their distinctive sound.
 * The majority of new guitars have a medium action either set at the factory or adjusted by the dealer. Lead guitarists sometimes prefer a very low action which sacrifices a small amount of tone for speed and ease. Slide guitarists will raise the action up to a height that renders normal fretting very difficult though this does ensure clarity of tone when using a metal or glass slide with alternative tunings. A medium action is ideal for a beginner as it maintains tuning stability while providing a clear tone.

 * Test as many models and price-ranges as you can. You should test guitars in the price range above your budget to familiarise yourself with the differences. Dealers are quite happy to give potential customers a long time to test different guitars without any sales pressure. Note that not all sales assistants are guitarists since a shop that sells both keyboards and guitars may prefer to hire a pianist to demonstrate their keyboard range. In this situation the buyer must rely on their own knowledge.

 * Do not be distracted. Testing guitars involves all the mental faculties. It is during these moments that a buyer may make a wrong decision. If at any time during testing you feel as though distractions are affecting your concentration then walk away and refocus.

Where to buy a guitar

 * Buying a guitar from a friend or relative who plays is an ideal way to avoid some of the common pitfalls of a first purchase. Relatives and friends may also help you search for a good guitar if they do not have one that they want to sell. It is recommended that the final choice should be made by the purchaser since guidance is never fool-proof.

 * A local guitar or music store that has an established reputation. Many guitarists return to the same local shop to buy strings and other extras though a larger dealer should be sought if the range of guitars offered by your local dealer is too small. Second-hand guitars need to tested thoroughly before purchasing. If the buyer is unsure of what faults to look for then a new guitar might be the better option.

Boot loader

Overview
After powering up and running any diagnostics required or requested, the computer's startup code will find a small program called the boot loader. After loading the boot loader to a known place in memory, the startup code will transfer control to it.

The boot loader will then perform a number of simple functions in preparation for loading the actual operating system. Most boot loaders will initialize the CPU to a known state, identify some hardware (not all devices are identified), then locate, load, and execute the kernel.

The boot loader is sometimes designed to be an integral part of the operating system (e.g. Microsoft Windows NTTM and later). In other designs, the boot loader is a separate program, often written by different authors (e.g. GNU GRUB).

Boot loaders can sometimes be chained, with the first boot loader loading and passing control to a second boot loader. This is how GNU GRUB and LILO load the Microsoft WindowsTM boot loader "ntldr" on the x86 PC.

Examples

 * GNU GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader)
 * FreeBSD Boot Loader
 * LILO (The LInux LOader)

Cookbook talk:Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Woops. Your right. Can't grease pan with apple sauce. =)

At any rate, shortening is terribly unsafe for human digestion and I am definitely making alternatives VERY clear in this article, not just because I've researched shortening, but because I've completed this recipe with using vegetable oil and butter, and apple sauce, and they tasted fabulous!

Yeago 02:25, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Oh, come on. Maybe it is not good for you. Perhaps it is worse than oil, or even worse than beef fat. It is however quite easy to show that shortening is not terribly unsafe for human digestion. Look around you. People typically live way past 40, and often past 90. With shortening being such a big part of the normal modern diet, that is proof enough that it is not terribly unsafe for human digestion.

Please don't go vandalizing recipes. The shortening page, linked to from this recipe and others, mentions the issue appropriately and suggests alternatives. There is no need for every recipe involving the stuff to contain a rant about trans fatty acids and heart disease. Heck, even before the recent research, shortening wasn't exactly considered a health food. The same goes for cookies in general, with or without shortening.

Learning the basics of French/Simple grammar rules

French has some simple grammatical rules that one must learn if one is to be successful in the language. If you already know where you want to be, use the Table of Contents below. Otherwise, please review the lesson in the order in which it is presented.

Example Vocabulary
Firstly, we will establish an example vocabulary to use. (Please ignore any translations or notes in parentheses that you do not understand. They will be explained later)

Adjectives:

rouge (red)

blanc (white)

vert (green)

 Nouns:

arbre (tree-v)

bateau (boat-m)

vélo (bicycle-f)

animaux (animals-p)

livre (book - m)

trousse (pencil case - f)

fille (girl - f)

If you have read the Learning the Basics of French / Au restaurant lesson, you will be familiar with the following two verbs.

Verbs:

manger (to eat)

jouer (to play)

This course also introduces a new verb:

utiliser (to use)

Articles: (see below)

la (definite-f)

le (definite-m)

les (definite-p)

l' (definite-v)

un (indefinite-m)

une (indefinite-f)

des (indefinite-v + p)

Alors, allons-y!!

Introduction
The article, for readers who do not know, is something that is 'given' to a noun to give a basic description of what it is. In English we have two articles: the, and a (or an if succeeded by a vowel sound). The is the definite article, so called because when we use it we are referring to a specific noun. A is indefinite - when we use it, we are reffering to any one of that noun, whether in the whole world or in a particular group. For instance -

"I have the book". (In this sentence the definite article is used and so we know that it is a particular book)

or

"I have a book". (Here the exact relevance of the book is not known; it could be any book)

In French article is very different to English - it depends on two things: Gender and Number. Gender is whether a noun is masculine or feminine (for more information on this, see "Gender" below). Number is whether it is singular or plural - in other words whether there is one or many.

Here are the three definite articles in French -

le - this is masculine and singular.

la - this is feminine and singular.

les - this is the plural definite article. In plural gender is ignored, so there is only one form.

(A fourth form is also used: l. It is the vowel-dependent' form. This is for when the next letter in the sentence is a vowel, to allow the sentence to be said smoothly. Again, ignore gender when using this, because though all words have gender you cannot see it as the article has been removed of its -e or -a that one uses to determine gender).

And here are the three indefinite articles -

un - this is masculine and singular.

une - this is feminine and singular.

des - this word is in fact a contraction of "de les", or "of the(pl)". However it is often used in the context of some or when talking about an indefinite amount of something and is therefore treated as an article. On top of this des is again the vowel-dependent form.

Examples

 * J'ai le livre et la trousse.
 * I have the book and the pencil case.

 * J'ai les livres et les trousses.
 * I have the books and the pencil cases.

 * J'ai un livre et une trousse.
 * I have a book and a pencil case.

 * J'ai des livres et des trousses.
 * I have books and pencil cases (or, I have some books and some pencil cases).

 * J'ai l'arbre.
 * I have the tree.

Note: The tags after words (m,f,p and v) correspond to masculine, feminine, plural and vowel-dependent as one might asssume.

Introduction
Like all Romance languages French is a language with gender. This means that the nouns are treated either as male or female - a potentially difficult idea to comprehend for an English speaker, as English lost its gender system several hundreds of years ago. As discussed above understanding gender and number are vital to using the correct article with nouns. The correct term for male words is masculine and female words are feminine.

A point of difficulty for many English speakers is the fact that it is nearly impossible to guess the gender of the word from the social connotations of the word. Words that might be seen as strongly male in their nature are by no means neccessarily masculine and vice versa.

It is, however, often possible to guess the gender from the ending of the word itself (the suffix). Words ending with -ette, -enne, -euse and -eure are nearly always feminine.

Examples
Read the following definite nouns. Think whether they have been properly articulated (given the right article).

 * le bateau- (masculine)

le vélo- (masculine)

 * les animaux- (plural)

Now do the same with these indefinite ones.

un livre (masculine)

 * des arbre (vowel-dependent, masculine)

 * une trousse (feminine)

Summary a
Ensure you are comfortable with the following points before moving on.

1. Gender is whether a word is masculine or feminine.

2. Number is whether a word is singular or plural.

3. The article is the thing that is given to a noun to better describe it, and can be definite (the) or indefinite (a/an).

4. There are four definite articles - le,la,les and l' - and they are masculine, feminine, plural and vowel-dependent respectively.

5. There are three indefinite articles - un,une, and des - which are masculine, feminine and plural/vowel-dependent respectively.

6. Whenever the succeeding letter is a vowel, we must use the vowel-dependent form which generally contracts vowels off the article. This is so that the sentence reads smoothly.

Also make sure that you understand all the vocabulary in the "Example Vocabulary" section above.

Exercise
Note that words ending in -eau in the singular always pluralise into -eaux.

1. Write "I have a bicycle".

2. Write "the book".

3. Write "some boats".

4. Write "the tree"

5. Write "a girl".

6. Write "the pencil case".

7. Write "the animals".

Check your answers below:

1. J'ai un vélo

2. le livre

3. des bateaux

4. l'arbre

5. une fille

6. la trousse

7. les animaux

Liaison
Liaison is the collective name given to two actions: slurring and contraction.

Slurring
In French the constants at the end of words are usually silent, for example:

 * Les filles utilisent le livre.
 * The girls use the book.

Here the "s" in les is silent. This is how it is usually pronounced.

It is a very typical characteristic of Romance languages to be as flowing and readable as possible, and in French slurring is used wherever there is a silent constant and a vowel next to each other in the sentence, for example:

 * Les yeux sont verts.
 * The eyes are green.

(Note that here it is the "s" of les and the "y" of yeux that are clashing).

Try saying "leh YEUH soñ VAIRH". Does it flow? You will find it doesn't.

When it is a vowel and a constanant that are clashing, slurring is used to stop the clash and regain the flow of the sentence. The constanant is made no longer silent, so the above sentence is pronounced "lez YEUH soñ VAIRH" and not "leh YEUH soñ VAIRH", with the first two words flowing into each other with a "slur", hence the name.

Slurring (unlike contraction) is solely found in French.

Contraction
Contraction is used when it is two vowels that are clashing. It simply involves removing the first vowel in the clash, for example:

 * Le arbre est vert.
 * The tree is green.

Again, try saying this to yourself.

Here we contract the article because of the succeeding vowel, as shown in the "Article" section, to produce the vowel-dependent article:

 * L'arbre est vert.

Usually contraction due to vowel clashing only occurs between the article and the noun.

Introduction
Adjectives describe a noun. Examples of adjectives include colours (eg. white) and other physical descriptors (eg. tall), states of being and feelings (eg. happy) among many others.

Adjectival Position
Adjectives in French are inverted, i.e. the noun always comes before the adjective. This can be another trouble spot for learners as in English we have the noun after the adjective ("the orange boat" - orange is the adjective, boat is the noun).

There are a few exceptions to this rule, however. They are:

 * Petit                  small
 * Grand                  big
 * Gros                   fat
 * Jeune                  young
 * Bon                    good
 * Douce                  gentle
 * Beau/Belle             beautiful (m/f respectively)
 * Excellent/excellente   excellent (m/f respectively)

Adjectival Declension
Altering an adjective due to a particular factor (such as gender or number) is called declension. In French, adjectives are altered around both gender and number. Let's take the adjective green or vert. It changes in the feminine:

 * C'est un vélo vert.
 * It's a green bicycle.

 * C'est une trousse verte.
 * Its a green pencil case.

When it comes to pluralising adjectives things are more complex than with the article - there is only one, neuter plural article in each definition, but adjectives have two different plural forms, masculine plural and feminine plural:

 * J'ai deux vélos verts.
 * I have two green bicycles.

 * J'ai deux trousses vertes.
 * I have two green pencil cases.

How an adjective changes depends, as you may have guessed, upon the noun in question.

As with nouns, you will have to learn the varying inflections (regulated differences) that are used to distinguish between masculine, feminine, masculine plural and feminine plural. However, in the majority of cases it is safe to say that adjectives ending in - CONSTANANT e will probably be feminine, and adjectives ending in -s will always be plural. Note that some adjectives won't change at all.

The following is an example of a declension table - for vert,rouge and blanc (green, red and white respectively).

Summary b
Ensure you are comfortable with the following points before moving on.

1. Sentences with a silent constanant and a vowel which clash together need to be slurred to allow the sentence to flow.

2. Sentences with two vowels which clash together need to be contracted to allow the sentence to flow.

3. Adjectives describe a noun.

4. All adjectives go after the noun except the following: petit, grand, gros, jeune, bon, douce, beau and excellent.

5. Adjectives need to be inflected differently according to the noun they are describing: they can be masculine (eg. vert), feminine (eg. verte), masculine plural (eg.verts) or feminine plural (eg. vertes).

Exercise
You may have to guess some of the inflections - remember the characteristics of each declension.

1. Write "the green tree".

2. Write "the big girl".

3. Write "a small tree".

4. Write "a small white book".

5. Write "a very young girl" (Vocabulary provision: très = very).

6. Write "it is very fat and red".

7. Write "I have a white bicycle".

His twin Charles David Montagu Hay would have inherited some things, but he didn't inherit a seat in the House of Lords. Drchriswilliams (talk) 21:34, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - as noted he was never a member of the House of Lords and so that cannot be used as an argument for political notability. Indeed other than basic biographical details (which can be covered adequately at the article of the peerage - Marquess of Tweeddale - the only information that the article supplies is a notable speech made by his late brother in the Lords. However that does not make the current Marquess of Tweeddale notable. For a peer who has never sat in the Lords to be notable it would need to be in some other field (eg business, external political campaigning, charitable work, holding another position of authority), but there is nothing here to suggest that that is the case.

Talk:thirty

Greek

 * Trianda vs. Triakonta

Currently, it lists "trianda" for thirty. Triakonta is thirty. It means "three knots". Knots were used for counting. Anda means egg or testicle, or breath or spirit. I'll put both down, but I think triakonta (or triaconta) is preferred. Erudecorp 04:41, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Both are used in Modern Greek, but τριάντα is the more common of the two. I don’t believe τριάντα has anything to do with testicles, but is merely a contraction of τριάκοντα, possibly influenced by Italian trenta from Latin triginta (which means "three tens"). Cf. σαράντα, πενήντα, εξήντα, εβδομήντα. See the etymology at el:πενήντα. —Stephen 08:47, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

WTF?
Who's idea was it to list the numeral 30 in all the scripts possible? Mglovesfun (talk) 09:26, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Pronunciation - first vowel
Is the pronunciation supposed to be transcribed as /ˈθɜːti/? It doesn't sound like an /ɜ/ to me. Is there a more specific transcription of this sound?

 * That is the British RP. It rhymes with dirty. Perhaps you are confusing /ɜ/ with /ɛ/? —Stephen (Talk) 16:12, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Indeed I confused them! I don't think I've seen "ɜ" actually used before. It seems like a rare sound. — Knyȝt (talk) 01:41, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
 * It is not found in American English, but it’s extremely common in British English. —Stephen (Talk) 14:36, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Pronunciation - final consonant
Ad https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=thirty&diff=23244022&oldid=23231423 - discussion about [ɾ] or [d] in thirty. I must say that the [ɾ] is really confusing for an average reader (and even for such like me, who at the college attended among others phonetics as well), because at least the listening impression of the sound is really /d/ (I am a native speaker od Czech, not of English, and I bet for a German native speaker it will be the same). I beg for a system solution of this - at least to add a note of this at every relevant place (in a system way), or better to add a pronunciation with /d/ in such cases. For example http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/thirty chooses another solution, which is actually not much better - writes [t] and [t̬ ] (an average reader (and even me ;) ) - doesn't know such a sign - it seems it might be a variant of /t/ or a mistake, maybe). However, [ɾ] indicates a pronunciation of an r-sound, what is definetely misleading (at least for me)... Thanks, --Jiří Janíček (talk) 23:25, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

 * As a native speaker of US English who uses flaps in words like butter, I agree that this seems like a /d/. That's how it seems when I produce it and when I listen to it. --BB12 (talk) 23:45, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

 * As a native US speaker, I have used all of the pronunciations given, the hard "t" pronunciation for emphasis or when the number is a focal point of the conversation, the "d" pronunciation most commonly (I think), and the minimal-consonant pronunciation when tired or rushed. The last comes naturally and doesn't really need dictionary documentation, but folks like to record that kind of thing anyway, even if it is misleading or confusing. DCDuring TALK 23:48, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

 * I certainly use [ɾ] (i.e., the same consonant that most Americans, including myself, use in ), and I suspect that BB12 and DCDuring do as well. It don't think it really makes sense to say that it's /d/; the reason it sounds the same as /d/ (in the mouths of some speakers) is that the distinction between /t/ and /d/ is neutralized in this context (for those speakers), so /d/ is no better than /t/, and the latter has the advantage of history, analogy, and spelling. It's presumably true that when someone who doesn't neutralize the distinction hears the pronunciation of someone who does neutralize it, it'll sound like /d/ to them (due to the voicing); but that's a terrible basis for a transcription. (We could toss out half the vowels if we only care about what something sounds like to people with a different accent.) That said, if we want to capture the neutralization in an otherwise phonemic transcription, I think we could write /D/ (using uppercase because it's an "archiphoneme" subsuming /t/ and /d/ in this context). —Ruakh TALK 01:40, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * It probably varies both geographically and over time. Probably also be level of education and social context. bd2412 T 02:45, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

 * The phoneme, broadly transcribed, is definitely /t/ and not /d/; Merriam-Webster, Dictionary.com, Macmillan (US/UK) and the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary all agree on that. The phoneme is realised as [ɾ] (narrowly transcribed) in this context in American and Australian English because those dialects exhibit "intervocalic alveolar flapping". That, as Ruakh notes, means they reduce /t/ and /d/ to [ɾ] in several circumstances: for example, petal and peddle fall together as [ˈpɛɾl̩] (which is, incidentally, also how some Scots pronounce pearl). - -sche (discuss) 06:03, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

 * I looked around, and specialists seem to agree that this sound in "thirty" is a flap, but to me, the flap in "butter" seems different from the sound in "thirty." Without further proof, I have to agree with the specialists :) --BB12 (talk) 09:51, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Maybe the r in thirty has the effect of turning the flap into a slightly more retroflex-like sound? 17:50, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

 * In [[file:en-us-thirty.ogg]], I hear something like "/ˈθɜɹdi/", but I am a Czech native speaker. By constrast, the British [[file:en-uk-thirty.ogg]] produces a clear "t" for me. I also hear "d" in the U.S. pronunciation of "pretty", as if "pridi": [[file:en-us-pretty.ogg]]. It's great that Wiktionary users can peruse sound recordings rather than having to rely on their IPA transcriptions. --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:27, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

 * I found a reference saying it's [d] at Intervocalic_alveolar-flapping: "Flapping/tapping does not occur for most speakers in words like carpenter and ninety, which instead surface with [d]." This is a Wikipedia page with a link to a sound file, so it is not written proof. --BB12 (talk) 21:27, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * But the relevant phoneme in thirty is not preceded by an /n/. — Ungoliant (Falai) 21:37, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Good point; that makes it inconclusive. I have r-ful pronunciation, so the /r/ in "thirty" has a full consonant value for me and it seems to me fairly clear that I pronounce this more as a /d/ than a flap. That is original research, though :) --BB12 (talk) 23:09, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

If a question about pronunciation of a common English word takes this much discussion, then the outcome might belong in square brackets.

Wouldn’t most readers benefit from a broad, phonemic pronunciation like /ˌθərti/, utilizing a simple set of IPA and not labelled with any accent? Every English speaker knows how they pronounce /t/ in that place of the word. —Michael Z. 2013-09-26 14:39 z
 * As someone who has been a native US English speaker for over 30 years and has lived on both sides of the country, I can tell you with relative certainty that /θɜɹdi/ ('thurdee') is the normal pronunciation of the word in the US. Kaldari (talk) 09:27, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Here's a Youtube video specifically about how to pronounce the word "thirty": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jVjujBjcdY. In the video, the teacher (who sounds very American) explicitly says that the 't' should be pronounced as a 'd'. Kaldari (talk) 09:37, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Munroe Bergdorf

Munroe Bergdorf (' Beaumont'''; born 11 September 1987) is an English model and activist. She has walked several catwalks for brands including Gypsy Sport at both London and NYC Fashion Weeks. Bergdorf was the first transgender model in the UK for L'Oréal, but was dropped within weeks after a racial row. In February 2018, she was appointed as an LGBT adviser to the Labour Party, but resigned the following month. Bergdorf appeared in the Channel 4 documentary What Makes a Woman, which aired in May 2018.

Bergdorf won ‘Changemaker of the Year’ at the 2018 Cosmopolitan Awards, and was awarded an honorary doctorate in 2019 by the University of Brighton. She joined UN Women UK as an advocate in 2019, supporting its #DrawALine campaign, aiming to put a stop to female genital mutilation (FGM).

Early life
Bergdorf was born and grew up in Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex. Bergdorf is of mixed ancestry, born to a Jamaican father and an English mother. Bergdorf, who was assigned male at birth, attended Bentfield County Primary School in Stansted Mountfitchet and then The Bishop's Stortford High School, an all-boys' school. Bergdorf describes growing up as a "very effeminate boy". Later, she studied English at the University of Brighton, describing herself there as genderqueer.

Bergdorf then worked for three years in fashion PR. At the age of 24, Bergdorf began gender transitioning, and was the subject of an episode of London Live show Drag Queens of London.

Around the same time that Bergdorf was transitioning, she co-founded nightclub Pussy Palace.

Modelling
Bergdorf became involved in modelling after being motivated by the lack of diversity in the industry. Her first modelling job was for a Lebanese couture company. In 2014, the London Evening Standard referred to her as "a cornerstone of London's trans scene." She told the newspaper that she was "so vocal" on trans issues because she sees it as "the new frontier", an issue being brought into public consciousness through the work of trans women like Laverne Cox and Carmen Carrera.

She came to public attention in August 2017 when she was employed as the first transgender model to front a L'Oréal campaign in the UK, being announced as one of 27 models taking part in L'Oréal UK's "True Match" campaign. On her social media, she stated: "Thank you L’Oréal Paris for giving me this platform. I hope it reaches another little eight-year-old trans girl and makes her feel a little more hopeful and a little less scared about her future, than what was installed [sic] in me when I was her age." Elsewhere she stated: "I definitely set out to empower girls like me."

Racial controversy
In February 2017, Bergdorf stated that "all white people as a group are brought up racist", stating: "most of y’all don’t even realise or refuse to acknowledge that your existence, privilege and success as a race is built on the backs, blood and death of people of colour." Bergdorf attracted further public attention following an article in The Daily Mail highlighting Facebook comments that she had made, which included the claim that all white people were guilty of "racial violence" and that the white race was "the most violent and oppressive force of nature on Earth." In response to Bergdorf's comments, L'Oréal dropped her from their campaign on 1 September 2017. They issued a statement that the company "supports diversity and tolerance towards all people irrespective of their race, background, gender and religion" and that Bergdorf's comments about white people were "at odds with those values". Facebook removed her posts from their website, regarding them as being in contravention to its rules against hate speech. Bergdorf said that she also faced online harassment, much of it of a racist and transphobic nature. Other commentators argued that The Daily Mail had quoted her out of context, and that her wider point about white supremacy and white privilege in Western societies was valid and needed wider dissemination. Bergdorf defended her position, arguing that she was angry after the scenes at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville and wanted to explain that racism was systemic, and that being racist was not just about attacking people, but failing to take action against the system. She added: "I don't see how calling out the roots of racism, somehow makes you a racist", calling the controversy the "worst time of my life".

In September 2017, the UK-based Illamasqua hired Bergdorf as the face of its Beauty Spotlight campaign, which concerned gender fluidity. In a statement, the company described Bergdorf as embodying "diversity and individuality; she is not scared to be truly herself." It added that it did not "stand or accept any form of racism, but we also believe Munroe’s comments have been edited out of context by a certain media title (who we won't bother naming) without telling a true story".

In June 2020, during the international George Floyd protests, Bergdorf criticized L'Oréal Paris for posting on Instagram that they stood in solidarity with the Black community, saying that she had never received an apology from L'Oréal. In response, the company announced that they would create and appoint Bergdorf to a U.K. Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Board. Bergdorf shared on Instagram a number of abusive messages she received on that platform following her appointment.

Activism
The same month she was hired by Illamasqua, Bergdorf recited Maya Angelou's poem "Still I Rise" for a short film directed by Bec Evans and Laura Kirwan-Ashman.

In February 2018, she was appointed as an LGBT adviser to the Labour Party, which she resigned from the following month after homophobic and misogynistic Twitter posts from 2010 received attention. Bergdorf apologised for her past comments. Bergdorf later blamed "Conservative media" for using her as a "political pawn to bring down Jeremy Corbyn" and that the Labour LGBT advisory board was being targeted to be shut down, stating "when I left they went after somebody else, and then when that person left they went after somebody else" in order to "discredit Jeremy Corbyn".

As of April 2019, she has made frequent appearances as a guest commentator on ITV's Good Morning Britain and This Morning.

In June 2019, Bergdorf was stripped of her role as an ambassador for Childline two days after being appointed, when journalist Janice Turner and others questioned her suitability for the post as somebody who had modelled for adult magazine Playboy. Turner also called Bergdorf a "porn model". In response, Bergdorf denied ever participating in porn, and stated that it was wrong to demonize persons that do in any case. Several days later, the NSPCC offered Bergdorf a "full, frank and unreserved apology" for the way in which it had handled her dismissal. The NSPCC's CEO, Peter Wanless, explained that Bergdorf had been dismissed 'because of her public statements, which we felt would mean that she was in breach of our own risk assessments and undermine what we are here to do'.

In July 2019, Bergdorf was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Brighton in recognition of her campaigning for transgender rights.

In February 2021, Bergdorf deleted her activism-based Twitter account, releasing a public statement asking when social media companies will "clamp down" on transphobia. Bergdorf stated: "No one should have to endure even a fraction of the abuse that I am exposed to and have to put up with on a daily basis," and concluded that she was "tired of being a punching bag. Twitter is not a safe app for transgender people."

In November 2021, Bergdorf was recognised with the GAY TIMES Honour for British Community Trailblazer at the fifth annual GAY TIMES Honours celebration in London. She was presented the award by Ellie Goulding and also featured as one of the cover stars for the Honours edition of GAY TIMES Magazine. Having been named "Changemaker of the Year" in 2018 by Cosmopolitan UK, she became the first transgender person to feature on the front cover of that magazine with its 50th anniversary issue, published on 21 January 2022.

In November 2023, UN Women named her as its first “UK Champion”.

Comprehensive history taking

A comprehensive history taking is a way to perform a History-taking from a patient. The features of it is that the questioner have a complete set of questions to ask, in contrast to iterative hypothesis testing, where the questioner adapt his/her questions to the circumstances. Therefore, comprehensive history taking is mostly performed by Medicine students, who aren't yet as experienced that they can improvize. Afterwards, the Medicine student can report all the answers to a physician, who can put the right diagnosis.

Performance
This is an example of how a comprehensive history taking could be performed.

Presentation

 * Greet the patient, present yourself and the purpose of the meeting.
 * Listen Start with open-ended questions and let the patient tell freely.
 * Specify with restricted questions.

chief complaint or presenting illness

 * Why do you seek health care today? New trouble or worsening of an earlier one?
 * Symtoms
 * Localization. Where? Does it change position?
 * Debut
 * Duration
 * Worsening factors. Body position? Exercise? Food intake?
 * Alleviating factors. Is there anything that makes the symtoms better?
 * Restriction of life. Worse sleep? Apetite?

Ongoing illnesses
E.g. diabetes, rheumatism, hypertension

Past medical history
Includes illnesses that are already treated. It's important to get to know:
 * major illnesses,
 * any previous surgery/operations

Abuse

 * Ongoing drugs?
 * Debut?
 * Treatment?
 * Complications?
 * Withdrawal-symptoms?
 * Social contacts?
 * Contact with addiction health care?

Allergies
To medications? Food? What is the reaction? Rashes? Dyspnea?

Organ-specific questions
In addition to general questions, the Medicine student could also have an arsenal of organ-specific questions, in order to put the right differential diagnosis.

Gastrointestinal problems

 * How long time?
 * Consistency of faeces?
 * Number of defecations/day?
 * Nocturnal problems?
 * Blood content?
 * Problems after meal?

Cookbook:Salad

Salads are generally a mixture of different individual foods—most commonly vegetable-based—bound with a dressing. The term comes from the Latin word for salted, referring to the dressing. They may be served prior to or after the main dish as a separate course, as a main course in itself, or as a side dish accompanying the main dish.

Types
Salads can be classified in a variety of ways, and many salads can fall into more than one type.

Green/garden salads
A very common variety of salad, green or tossed salads are made of green, leafy vegetables. Caesar salads are one common example. Other food items such as pasta, olives, cooked potatoes, rice, croutons, meat and poultry (e.g. bacon, chicken), cheese, nuts, or seafood (e.g. tuna, crab) are sometimes added to green salads. In modern times, green salads in particular are often served 'undressed', and a separate salad dressing, often of the eater's choosing, will be served with or alongside the salad.

Vegetable salads
Vegetable salads are made primarily of non-leafy greens. They can be cooked or raw, and are often marinated. For example, Cucumber, Tomato, and Onion Salad, in which sliced or diced cucumber, tomato and onion are served anywhere from being merely dressed with, to literally floating in, a water and vinegar mixture, with, perhaps, a bit of black pepper, salt and herbs added. An example of a vegetable medley salad is Three Bean Salad, which, in a typical recipe, is composed primarily of green beans, wax beans, and kidney beans, all of which are often canned, in a somewhat clear, or sweet, vinegar-based dressing.

Composed salads
Composed salads are not mixed, but instead arranged artfully in the serving dish.

Gelatin salads
Gelatin salads consist of solid components (e.g. vegetables, fruits, meats) suspended in a sweet or savory jelly that has been shaped in a decorative mold.

Fruit salads
A fruit salad is a sweet salad made of bite-sized pieces of culinary fruits (i.e. not those like tomatoes). It can be dressed with liqueurs, sweeteners, yogurt, jam, or fruit purées. From there, fruit salads can quickly branch out to be, in essence, desserts, such as ambrosia.

Bound salads
Bound salads have thick dressings that bind the ingredients together. Common bound salads include chicken/tuna salad, egg salad, pasta salad, and potato salad. For use in a more elegant setting, such salads may be served on a bed of greens and can include more elegant ingredients, if desired.

Slaws
Slaws, which are typically composed primarily of finely chopped or julienned fresh vegetables of a sturdy sort (such as cabbages, carrots, broccoli, etc.), perhaps the most commonly known of which is coleslaw. Coleslaw, in particular, is primarily composed of cabbage coated in a simple dressing prepared and added by the cook before serving. The dressing, in some areas of the world, is typically mayonnaise-based, but may also be vinegar-and-water based. It is served cold to room temperature, without any additional dressing expected to be applied by the eater.

Noodle salads
These include, for example, cold cellophane noodles or rice vermicelli and a variety of fresh diced or julienned vegetables with an appropriate dressing. They are served cold or at room temperature. The noodles mentioned are fragile so care must be taken to only cook them briefly and immediately chill them quickly and thoroughly in cold water before attempting to use them in a salad.

Vegetables
A variety of leafy greens can be used in tossed salads, ranging from mild to spicy, and the specific blend characterizes the salad. They should be tender and delicate enough to be eaten raw. Mild greens include spinach, lettuce, and watercress. Spicy greens have a peppery kick and can include things like arugula. Micro-greens include a variety of sprouted seedlings and are typically mild in flavor. Commercial salad blends can be commonly purchased.

Other common vegetables in a green salad include tomato,  cucumber,  peppers,  mushroom,  onion,  spring onion,  carrot and  radish.

Dressing
Dressing is a flavorful liquid mixed into a salad for a variety of purposes, including taste, spice, and moisture.

Garnish
Garnishes can be added to a salad for flavor, texture, and visual flair. Fresh, delicate herbs (e.g. mint, basil, chives, parsley) are often good choices. Crisp garnishes such as croutons, crackers, etc, add contrast and texture. Edible flowers can elevate a salad and make it quite beautiful.

Washing
As with all foods, the ingredients of a salad should be as fresh as possible, without blemish. The components should be well-cleaned, and greens should be specially looked over to remove any dirt. They then need to be well-dried so that the dressing sticks and imparts flavor.

Cutting
The ingredients of a salad are expected to be cut by the cook to a size that will fit in the human mouth, such that no cutlery is required, except in a very few cases where the need for cutting by the eater is quite apparent and knives are provided. Salads, in general, are intended to be eaten using a fork or chopsticks, rather than by spoon or by hand. Accordingly, medium-small, round ingredients, for example, cherry tomatoes, grapes, olives, and items of a similar size, should be cut at least in half; otherwise they will be difficult to lift with the intended utensils.

Dressing
Dressings are essentially seasoning and should just highlight the salad. Typically you don't want to add so much that it pools. Acidic dressings should only be added to most salads at the last minute, since they will make greens wilt and will toughen some ingredients like beans.

Catalan/Introducció

Welcome!
Welcome to the WikiBooks Catalan course.

Method
This book presents simple bilingual texts with Catalan on the left, English on the right. Beneath the Catalan text is a phonetic transcription of the words with the stressed syllable in bold. A literal translation of the English can be found in parenthesis (like this) where the Catalan does not map well to English. You will sometimes see superscript numbers like this1 - these are notes that can be found just below the bilingual text. Example below:

NOTES

1: ets means you are when speaking informally to peers and people younger than you.

This book focuses on learning by input rather than learning by rote. This means, in practice:
 * Lessons are short.
 * Chunks of language, rather than individual words, are the focus.
 * Verb conjugation is slowly and unevenly exposed.
 * Explicit grammar is kept to a minimum except when it clarifies.

How to Use This Book

 * 1) Aim for one lesson at day.
 * 2) If audio is available, you should listen to the dialogue a few times without reading along to see how much you understand. At first, this will likely be zero, but you can get a sense for the rhythm of the language. Later, you will notice words that you don't understand. This is fine.
 * 3) Listen and read the Catalan text at the same time. Catalan has silent letters, usually at the end of a word. See if you notice them, then check against the phonetic transcription.
 * 4) When you find a word you don't know, make a guess and then check the English translation to see if you were right.
 * 5) Practice reading the lines of text, one at a time, after the speaker. Notice intonation differences for questions, or when the speaker pauses (or doesn't).
 * 6) Finally, try the translation exercises. The answers are found on the same page.

Other things to try:
 * Oral change up: If the sentence reads "I am from Barcelona", try changing it, orally to "Are you from Barcelona?".
 * Make flashcards for words that you struggle with.
 * The next day1, listen to the audio recording and transcribe it. Check your transcription against the Catalan text.
 * Copy the English text to a notebook. The next day, attempt to translate it into Catalan. Check your translation.

1: Spacing out your learning is more effective than doing it all in the same day. This is called recall practice.

More Resources
The Catalan language is spoken by approximately 12 million people. For more information see:

User:JWSchmidt/Blog/21 February 2007

Copyleft media files  I added licensing information directly into the audio file for the Wiki Campus Radio test conference call. is the new version of the file. I guess most people who might work with a GFDL file will be folks who copy the file. If the licensing information is in the audio channel, then it will be passed from listener to listener even under conditions where the file is not simply downloaded from Wikiversity. However, the files I usually make already include discussion of Wikiversity, so it is not clear that a bunch of mumbo-jumbo about copyleft licensing really adds that much for the typical listener.

In the case of more sophisticated folks who might be involved with making derivative works, it is not clear that there is any way to actually control what happens with licensing of derivative works. If a media file originally made by Wikiversity participants ended up getting diced and spliced and incorporated into various derivative works without correct attribution, would anyone really care? If not, then it might make more sense to just include in media files a short and user-friendly infomercial. Maybe the trick would be to convert the legalese into a fun infomercial.

Question about OGG. The original audio file for that was produced by GarageBand was a 21.7 MB .m4a file. I originally used two different converters and Music Man made the smaller ogg file, that uploaded to Wikiversity as a 12,549 KB file. After adding the licensing information, the new audio file was a minute longer and was exported from GarageBand as a 22.7 MB .m4a file. The Music Man converter produced a 10,437 KB ogg file this time. In both cases, Music Man was using default settings....I'm not even sure if there is a way to control the quality of output. Listening to the new ogg, I suspect it is lower quality than the first version that did not include the licensing information. The QuickTime player indicates that both files are 44.1 kHz, but the older file was 108 kbits/sec while the new one is 87 kbits/sec. In both cases, the original .m4a files were 1441 kbits/sec. I do not see any way to control the bit rate of the output file using the Music Man converter.

I was originally biased towards Music Man over VLC because VLC explicitly says it is not great for file format conversion (they say it is mainly for capturing streams) and the first time I tried it, VLC was slow and made much larger files than Music Man. However, I now see that VLC allows you to select 64, 128, or 192 kbits/sec. The default is 192, which is why it was making larger files than Music Man (87-108 kbits/sec). I tried using VLC to make a 128 kbit/sec ogg, but I ended up with a damaged file that will not play in the QuickTime player but did open in Audacity. I used Audacity to save a new ogg file and it came out at 104 kbits/sec and 12.2 MB. Audacity has a setting for audio export quality; a 0-10 scale with the default in the middle. I tried saving another copy from Audacity at 7/10 on their quality scale and got a file that was 146 kbits/second and 16.5 MB.

John Stevenson (footballer, born 1898)

John Alexander Stevenson (27 February 1898 – 12 March 1979) was a footballer who played mainly as an inside right.

Born in Wigan, Lancashire to an Irish-born father and Scottish mother, the family moved back to his mother's hometown of Kilbirnie, Ayrshire when he was a small child. His playing career reflected his origins with spells at several clubs over 15 years, mainly in Scotland and north-west England, including Ayr United, Aberdeen, Bury, Nelson, St Johnstone, Falkirk, Chester, Bristol Rovers and Carlisle United.

His younger brother George Stevenson was also a footballer had a successful career as player and manager with Motherwell and was also selected for Scotland, with no complications over sporting nationality having been born in 1905 after the family moved north of the border.

Muhammad Sex Simulator 2015

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable game that has little coverage in reliable sources. Philafrenzy (talk) 14:48, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I forgot to mention that it has also been nominated by the creator for Did You Know here. If the nomination is successful, and the article is not deleted in the meantime, it will appear on the front page but without an image as fair use images are not allowed in DYK. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:46, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Making no comment on the respective merits of this AfD, an article can not appear on DYK while an AfD is in progress. Harrias talk 12:53, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Game has caused uproar noted by a major Indonesian newspaper '''tAD''' (talk) 14:52, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: This means the game has coverage in sources broader than simply games review sites, putting it more notable than many console games which are only covered on review sites '''tAD''' (talk) 17:36, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Do not delete for a while. Wait a week or so. It is likely to be mentioned very soon in other sources than Vice, and not only as a meme... Zezen (talk) 14:54, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. Wikipedia is not censored. Request for deletion is suspected to stem more from of a sense of being offending than reason stated above. Agreeing with Zezen on coverage in reliable sources. --Prohibitorum (talk) 15:05, 11 February 2015 (UTC) — Prohibitorum (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 20:33, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Islam-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 20:33, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep the article. This thing already has sufficient (international) coverage for an article now, and based on how extremely over the top it is, that fame is very unlikely to fade completely. Or to put it more directly: this stupid software is probably going to make further news by actually costing lives. (I am afraid it's also likely to play into the hands of religious fundamentalists because rejection of this is one thing that basically all Muslims -- and also all serious Christians -- can agree on. But that's not relevant for whether Wikipedia should report on it. After all, Wikipedia also has articles on criminals.) But to reiterate: The notability is already there. I am just arguing why this will probably not be seen differently in retrospect 10 years from now. Now the images are a different matter. Not every article needs an illustration, and there is precedent for censorship for purely practical concerns such as endangering lives or just extreme indecency or sheer stupidity. Example: I once happened to be around when someone uploaded a detailed photo of a woman producing a turd. Taken from below. Removing that without discussion was in a way censorship, but was absolutely necessary and totally uncontroversial. I think the images on this article have a similar status. While nobody should feel revolted just for seeing a normal body function from an unusual perspective, this just doesn't belong into an encyclopedia. The typical reaction by Muslims, including the nice, normal and tolerant majority, but also by many other adherents of monotheistic religions will be similar. As an atheist I don't feel like that, but respecting it is still the right thing to do and is basically on the same level as not urinating in churches. I uninstalled or forgot how to use the scripts necessary to properly propose something for deletion, and I am not going to try doing this by hand. But I suggest that someone should propose the images for deletion. Hans Adler 22:19, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: It's an image of a work — the same as Piss Christ or KKK posters or Nazi propaganda. A user who accesses this article would expect to see such an image, it's in its only acceptable place. '''tAD''' (talk) 23:18, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * It's the only place where we even have to argue about the images, but even here they're not needed. The other things you mention have way higher notability and cultural/historical significance -- so far. (They are also each individual artifacts in a way that screenshots are not, although the entire piece of software is.) Hans Adler 07:58, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Sam Walton asked for the sources that establish notability. Though some people don't like it, it's well established that notability is not related to the language in which the source is published. E.g., what is notable in Albania and in Albanian, is a priori notable for the English Wikipedia. One of the sources currently on the article is in the game review section of es:eldiario.es, an online newspaper in Spain. Another is in the global news section of the online edition of Republika, an Indonesian newspaper with a primarily Muslim readership. Yet another is in Vice, a Canadian magazine. (Fortunately the other established newspapers and magazines available online appear to be too responsible to report about this -- nothing good will come of it.) The remaining sources seem to be the typical mix of internet resources. Although this is only indirectly relevant, two of them have sufficient notability to have their own articles in either English+German or Spanish+Catalan: gulli.com and es:MeriStation. Hans Adler 07:51, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep, this game is garnering a lot of attention and I've seen a few reliable sources already mention it, more sources will probably come in too. Kymako (talk) 22:47, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment To the above keep voters: Can you provide some of the sources which establish notability? There are only three in the article currently and a google search isn't showing up any more. I suspect this may generate some coverage within the week so I'll refrain from voting right now, but without more than there currently is I'll be voting delete. Sam Walton (talk) 23:16, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * It's predictable that if the article is deleted at this stage, it will be recreated when the game receives more attention and a backlash is provoked. Maybe the article should be transferred to user space for a time? FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 00:15, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Then again WP has never been that good at documenting current event-type stuff such as this...maybe it should be put on hold, idk. lurkaccount (talk) 05:44, 12 February 2015 (UTC) I wouldn't mind if this is deleted so long as it's allowed to be recreated when its notability is more "CRYSTAL", I just don't think it's necessary. Also - I personally think the coverage it has already is enough to call for an article, even if it is being under-reported. lurkaccount (talk) 18:03, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not satisfy WP:N with the 3 instances of coverage noted. Wikipedia is a listing of every offensive creation that gets discussed by 3 writers. Edison (talk) 00:34, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Userify The article should be transferred to user space for the time being, per my reasoning given above. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 00:43, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Wait Like Zezen said above, I think it's a bit too early to tell whether it should get the boot. I'd give it a little more time before making a final decision. lurkaccount (talk) 02:23, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia should not keep articles in anticipation of future notability (especially when the existence of an article can affect the topic's future notability). At the time of article creation, and at the moment (coverage by Vice and two other blogs, and article in Indonesian paper), it does not meet notability standards. Magedq (talk) 03:43, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Eh...while I would agree with this in most cases, I don't know if it really applies here, or at least I don't think it should. This sort of seems like something that's being captured mid-exposion, like you just know it's going to turn into something bigger than it has already become in almost no time flat.
 * The problem is how much Wikipedia will contribute to this becoming notable. A lot of sources might only write on this that the information, instead of being scattered over random blogs, and papers in other languages, is instead on Wikipedia - with useful game play screenshots (not found in more reputable sources). Wikipedia having one of the only (English) articles on this game, is currently playing an active role in the development of this topic.Magedq (talk) 07:13, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Vice magazine, which is in English, and the Indonesian newspaper have solved the screenshot problem intelligently by chosing a "select animal" screen from which the visual style and the offensive potential of the software become sufficiently clear because the rest is easily filled in by the imagination. If the Vice article isn't pulled, I don't share your optimism that deleting the Wikipedia article can prevent anything. Hans Adler 13:51, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I can see what you mean, but I don't think its presence on Wikipedia will really have that much outside influence in the long run. It's gonna spread either way. lurkaccount (talk) 18:03, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, seeing as more reliable sources have been found and more are sure to be found in the very near future, I don't really see a need to delete the article as of right now. lurkaccount (talk) 05:55, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, coverage in reliable sources and public attention. --Dezidor (talk) 07:23, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak delete, while the subject has some notability, it hasn't been picked up by any major news outlet, let alone a video game website. While Wikipedia doesn't have a deadline, that doesn't mean we should wait for things to happen. --Soetermans. T / C 16:53, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, 'fraid due to the subject matter of the game it's unlikely to be reported on by major news outlets until something they have to report on goes down. That's one of the aspects of Wikipedia's notability policy I've always had a problem with, when Wikipedia can't report on something just because the media at large is unwilling to report on it.
 * Delete – Three days of news coverage does not demonstrate long-term notability. It's too soon for a stand-alone article. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 21:04, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - Coverage by Vice News, Republika, and The Epoch Times (not currently in the article, but here) is sufficient to meet GNG in my view. Regarding the gameplay image, the relevant guideline is Offensive material. But even that aside I'm concerned that the caption contains OR. How do we know which option the player has selected? -Thibbs (talk) 23:00, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I think the picture makes reasonably clear what is happening. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 07:42, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe this is a naive question, but from the angle depicted how can you tell the difference between anal sex with a pig and vaginal sex with a pig? Might the image not even depict a neutral pre-coital condition before the player has selected anything? Wouldn't we need some (reliable) source to back up the claim that "Muhammad [is engaged in] anal sex with a pig"? It might help to establish context if we can find a RS that provides commentary on that specific non-free image. -Thibbs (talk) 12:46, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I've seen videos of the game. Vaginal coitus is done in the missionary position to all animals (obviously not to the men), and anal from that behind position. '''tAD''' (talk) 20:59, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * This is a discussion that would be better held on the article's talk page, if the article is in fact kept. The more important issue is that minor problems of this kind are not a reason for deleting the article. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 22:00, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * From The Almightey Drill's response my suspicions concerning WP:OR seem to have been fully justified, but FreeKnowledgeCreator makes a good point that I wasn't casting a !vote for deletion based on the image's caption. In fact, let the closer take note that I wasn't casting a !vote for deletion at all. -Thibbs (talk) 22:22, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Great game. Certainly should have it's own page. It is actually a lot of fun and a turn on. There is no genuine reson to remove this page, besides the fact that some find it offensive. I find a lot of pages on Wikipedia offensive, but they need to be there to describe the world we live in. This game is part of that world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs) 20:10, February 12, 2015
 * Hi, please note that we're not debating whether or not it's a "great game" and the nominator doesn't say it is offensive, we're discussing whether or not it is notable enough to have its own article. If we would come to the conclusion that it isn't notable, then that actually would be a good reason to delete the article. --Soetermans. T / C 09:07, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, I find Hans Adler's rationale compelling, and as Thibbs points out, this is getting international attention. Even if this has not attracted much coverage in the Western World, Wikipedia aims to have an worldwide scope, and the sources show international coverage in well known publications, even though some of those sources aren't in English. Eddymason (talk) 17:59, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Changing to Keep, notability has been proven. Notable, reliable and verifiable sources have reported on the game. --Soetermans. T / C 19:53, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - clearly meets GNG based on the sources in the article alone. This is a game, not a person or an event; as such, it doesn't need X days of news coverage to be considered notable. The game may be disgraceful, and the images may be questionable... but that has no relevance to the notability of the game itself, which is pretty clear. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 16:05, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep due to news coverage and inherent situational hilarity. Gamaliel  ( talk ) 23:58, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - I noticed that it caused a fair amount of upset in Indonesia, where major newspapers published critical op-eds about it. 04:56, 17 February 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by BrxBrx (talk • contribs)
 * Keep - This game has enough coverage in reliable sources. Also here is another article about the game from a Swedish online magazine.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:39, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Please also see Files for deletion/2015 February 18 for one of the screen shots. Philafrenzy (talk) 02:47, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Movie Making Manual/Location Scouting

There’s no great mystery to scouting good locations for a film. There’s no template that tells you exactly how to do it, either. Many of the requirements for a location will be in the script. Finding them is down to marshalling your resources. If you know the area where you are looking, you are well on your way, If you don’t, a good starting point is people who do know it well.

Start with the local film commission. It is their job to attract films to their area and not just big budget films. You may be shooting on a shoestring today, but what about next time? Film commissions are keen to generate future film spend, so they will always be willing to help you stretch today’s pennies so you will be keen to come back. Their collective body is the Association of Film Commissioners International, found at http://www.afci.org/ Their website is a mine of location information and their on-line magazine “Locations” is packed with features on places where film has been shot all over the world.

When we were locating King’s Ransom in Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northern Film Commission were delighted to assist. From notifying them of what we had in mind to the day we wrapped at the last location, they did everything we asked of them and more. They emailed photographs of possible locations from their photo archive before our first recce and then spent recce days with us getting firmer and firmer ideas of what we were looking for. You will find them at www.nsc.org.uk

Their suggestions were always pertinent and they would follow up with calls to local estate agents to establish baseline property rental costs for us before we negotiated with location owners. Until we got a local production office established NFC acted as local referral point for everyone contacting us. Nearer the shoot they also helped us find local crew.

Other people who can come up with useful location suggestions include tourist offices, jobbing builders, delivery people and local council officials. When we needed to find a tidal watersplash scene for a pursuit sequence involving 4X4s, we asked the local Landrover club. They not only knew the places where you could drive Landrovers safely through the tide, but they knew which rivers you could drive up with a Landrover as well! Useful people to know. Their members also have 4X4s for rent as picture and action vehicles.

Draw up a standard location form on which all essential information can be recorded. It is a good idea to attach a sketch plan showing the location layout, access points, fire hydrants, water main, parking areas and so on. Also space for all the phone numbers of contacts people for that location. You will also need to make a risk assessment for the location, of which more later.

Having homed in on some likely prospects you have to consider aesthetics.

The location has to be able to meet the needs of the scene. Will it shoot just as it is, or will it have to be dressed for the part? In King’s Ransom, Mr Bright’s antique shop was in a former cinema and the entrance we needed to use looked like the emergency exit from a cinema rather than the entrance to an antique shop. The broad pavement outside dressed nicely with large antique pieces like a huge wooden mangle. A fresh painted trading title and a couple of pavement advertising boards turned the place into Bright’s antique warehouse and the location exterior looked fine.

Location checklist

 * Sound
 * Will the location be quiet during your shoot dates?
 * Check with the local authority to ensure no building work will be running whilst you're filming.
 * What are the acoustics like?
 * If unsure, ask the sound recordist to check out the location.
 * Available light

Carol Hudkins

Carol L. Hudkins (born February 21, 1945 ) is a politician from the U.S. state of Nebraska. She served in the Nebraska Legislature for four terms, covering sixteen years.

Early life and career
Hudkins was born in North Platte, Nebraska. She graduated from high school in Waverly, then attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She married Larry Hudkins in 1964; the couple farmed near Malcolm, and Hudkins worked as a medical transcriptionist. She was elected to the Malcolm school board, and served as its chair.

Legislative elections
In 1992, Hudkins ran for the Nebraska Legislature from District 21, which then consisted of parts of Lancaster, Saunders, and Sarpy Counties. In the nonpartisan primary election, she placed first of five candidates, with 31.7% of the vote to Bill Sapp's 28.3%. As the top two vote-getters, she and Sapp moved on to the general election, which Hudkins won with 57% of the vote to Sapp's 43%.

In 1996, Hudkins defended her seat from a challenge by Carol Yoakum and Dale McClure, both of Lincoln. In the primary, Hudkins took 59.3% of the vote; Yoakum, 27.3%; and McClure, 13.4%. In the general election, Hudkins received 64.3% of the vote to Yoakum's 35.4%.

Hudkins ran unopposed for re-election to her seat in the legislature in 2000, and again in 2004.

In 2000, Nebraska voters passed a term-limits amendment to the state's constitution, under which state legislators could serve no more than two terms consecutively. This rendered Hudkins ineligible to run for re-election in 2008, in which year she announced her retirement.

Legislative career
During her tenure in the Legislature, Hudkins served on the Rules Committee, of which she was chairperson; the Natural Resources Committee, of which she was vice-chairperson; the Judiciary Committee, of which she was vice-chairperson; the Agriculture Committee; the General Affairs Committee; the Transportation and Telecommunications Committee; and the Executive Board.

In the Legislature, Hudkins proposed a bill to license and regulate acupuncturists so that they could practice in Nebraska; the measure passed in 2001.

Hudkins also sponsored legislation to lower the legal blood-alcohol level for drivers from 0.10% to 0.08%. Recently passed federal legislation that withheld highway funds from states that failed to adopt the lower limit played a role in the passage of the measure.
