Multiple Issues
Hi all,

There seem to be multiple issues on this page. The page reads like a resume, and is not encyclopedic in tone. In addition, many parts of the page seem like self-promotion of an affiliated musical act, rather than discussing the violinist. In addition, it seems like this page has come under a lot of vandalism recently, likely stemming from the TwoSet Violin Youtube Video discussing this musician.

I will add a banner warning that this page has multiple issues. Can someone make this page semi-protected in the meantime?

Hello moderators, I would like to propose a key modification to the article. Ben Lee in fact should also count as an electric violist, since his 'electric violin' also has a C string, classifying it as a 5-string viola as well. Thus, I am asking to change the key words 'violinists' to 'violinist/violist' <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:29, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Paul Meyvaert

Paul Meyvaert was a Benedictine monk who turned to medieval scholarship, and became a renowned scholar whose philological and historical work focused on medieval conceptions of authorship. Largely self-taught, he published on forgeries, iconography, and textual criticism. He taught at Duke University and in 1971 was appointed at Harvard University, where he spent the rest of his life. He was executive director of the Medieval Academy of America, and editor of Speculum, its journal.

Meyvaert was born Jeffrey Meyvaert in the United Kingdom on November 12, 1921; his mother was British, his father, whom he barely knew, was Belgian. His mother was very religious; she raised him in England, Belgium, and Ireland, with an eye on his entering a religious vocation. When he entered the Order of Saint Benedict he adopted "Paul" as his first name. He lived mostly on the Isle of Wight in Quarr Abbey, and taught himself the skills necessary to become a scholar of medieval history. He published his first scholarly in 1955, and from then on published a series of articles that investigated first the history of the Benedictines, and then, more broadly, other topics in medieval history, with a keen interest in the history of religion and textual issues. He wrote two monographs, on Bede and Gregory the Great, made an important textual discovery pertaining to the mission of Saints Cyril and Methodius, and published a study of the textual tradition of the Benedictine rule.

Nouvelle Vague (album)

Nouvelle Vague is the debut studio album by the French band Nouvelle Vague. It was first released on 9 August 2004 on Peacefrog Records.

The album consists entirely of easy listening and bossa nova versions of songs that were written and recorded during the post-punk/new wave era. The band's name is a play on words, new wave and bossa nova being the literal translations, in English and Portuguese respectively, of the French phrase Nouvelle Vague, which is itself a reference to the French cinema movement of the 1950s and 1960s. The songs were recorded with female vocalists who had not previously heard the songs they would be covering.

Background and production
Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux began work on the project in 2003, after Collin had the idea of covering Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" in a bossa nova style. Libaux later explained: "I met Marc Collin during the 90's, at a friend's place. Marc was the first musician I met in years who I could talk [to] about new wave music. For some reason, at the end of the 80's, punk and new wave music had turned into a sort of old-fashioned music, which nobody was talking about anymore. Meeting Marc, I could talk about The Stranglers, The Cure and The Sisters of Mercy again. We then have worked on a couple of albums he was producing ... Starting Nouvelle Vague was sounding obvious for us, as our ideas were matching, and the songs were happening well and quickly." The album was produced and recorded over a period of eight months.

Artwork
The Guardian included the album's artwork in a list of the ten "most beautiful sleeves of 2004". The newspaper wrote, "The band's covers feature sultry 1960s figures, the work of fashion designer Giles Deacon, with a self-consciously lo-fi feel." The album's art director was quoted explaining, "We were very anti-computer ... Each letter of the band's name was cut out by hand, but done so in a deliberately rigid manner, as a kind of whimsical nod to modernism."

Release
Nouvelle Vague peaked at number 69 on the French album charts, spending a total of 39 weeks in the top 200. The album also charted on Belgian album charts, peaking at number 100 in the Walloon chart and number 96 in the Flemish chart. In 2006, it was reported that the album had sold more than 200,000 copies worldwide.

Critical reception
Nouvelle Vague received generally positive reviews. Pitchfork's reviewer wrote, "The supposed ignorance of the singers plays well for this record's lack of irony, a big part of what makes it succeed as a well-meaning, well-executed novelty." The Telegraph wrote, "Marc Collin and Oliver Libaux and their eight guest chanteuses transform these songs with such skill and sincerity to their Latin syncopation that each becomes altogether new and lovely." The Guardian's reviewer wrote, "Only a frisky samba romp through Depeche Mode's 'Just Can't Get Enough' flirts with kitsch. Elsewhere, familiar lyrics and arrangements are turned inside out to generate frosty menace (The Clash's 'Guns of Brixton'), giggly coquetry ('Too Drunk To Fuck' by the Dead Kennedys) or haunting languor (The Cure's 'A Forest', teeming with birdsong)."

The more negative reviews take issue with the concept of the album itself. AllMusic's review begins: "The best compliment that can be paid to Nouvelle Vague's self-titled debut album: it isn't as arch and smirking as a collection of bossa nova versions of new wave classics by fetching French and Brazilian chanteuses would suggest." The NME gave the album a 1 out of 10 rating, writing, "the very concept of Nouvelle Vague – alternative '80s hits done in a deeply kitsch, sub-Bebel Gilberto sunset-samba style – is one that's so tired, so looooong past any imagined sell-by date that we're honestly astounded it exists." Several reviewers drew comparisons, both favourable and unfavourable, with an album of Kraftwerk covers recorded by the German musician Uwe Schmidt (also known as Señor Coconut), El Baile Alemán (2000).

In 2015, The Telegraph named the album's cover of "Just Can't Get Enough" in a list of the "50 best covers".

User:PerfektesChaos/js/tableXpander

|}===={| Deutsch JavaScript gadget – calculations and auxilary functions are offered for data tables.

Purpose
Within data tables in wiki pages there is sometimes a need to
 * calculate sum of all figures in a column or row
 * calculate average, respectively
 * check a ranking or retrieve the number of cells in a column or row
 * retrieve contents of a column or row

Usage

 * If your project has registered this as a gadget, just activate on your Preferences page.
 * Otherwise there are two approaches:
 * Provide a toolbox link and run the full tool on demand.
 * Start the entire tool for the current page.

Just a trigger
Include the following line into your common.js, global.js etc.: In the (desktop) toolbox a  will appear on all pages, and you can start the full gadget on demand.

Full tool
Run the following code wherever you want:

Non-MediaWiki pages
Basically, the (full) tool may be executed with any MediaWiki version. However, MediaWiki is not really required, but jQuery is necessary. The gadget can be loaded by appropriate means, if there is at  such a library (any version) present.

Workflow
Once the full tool has been requested, it will take a few seconds.
 * Then in the top region of the page a box will be inserted.
 * The box will contain
 * a link to this documentation
 * a version number
 * a set of number formats
 * a list of links to data tables detected in current page.

All appropriate data tables (at a first glance) will be equipped with a handle button |}===={| in the caption.

If a data table shall be expanded, the handle button may be clicked. Then either: The handle will be removed anyway.
 * on top and left hand side stripes of cells will be inserted, or
 * it is not an appropriate table and there is no content that can be processed.

The appearance and decoration within the page may be changed, and sorting might not work any longer. There is no way to return to original state than reloading the page when investigation has been completed. By tableXpander equipment page and tables might look a bit messy until reloaded.

The tool is not limited to any type of page, namespace, domain, area within page.

Kind of tables
Only data tables will be equipped. A data table does need: It might happen that a table has been classified first as data table, but no data content has been found on more close investigation. For those the feature will be revocated.
 * Layout tables do nothing more than arranging decorative elements.
 * This is in conflict with accessibility and an approach of last century.
 * Those should not be touched.
 * A headline row, or
 * at least some header cells in first column.

Particular data table
Once a table has been required to be equipped, on top and in front of each row a stripe with |}===={| buttons will be inserted. The function buttons have the following meaning:
 * If none is inserted, there was no data content detected.
 * When a handle is clicked, the related column or row is selected and will get a background colour matching the button background.
 * The activation button is replaced by a selection of functions: # Σ Ø % ↕
 * All data cells will be equipped with a toggle button [-] and resetting [+] to remove or add a data cell to current selection.
 * In the top first corner a X gives opportunity to clear all selections.
 * Once a column or row is selected a previous selection is discarded.

Example for an expanded table (simulation):

Merged cells and sorting
If there is a span of cells aside or below, tableXpander will consider them once only. Note that if MediaWiki sorting is requested for a table, merged cells will be split and duplicated within columns and rows. If taken a sum later or the number of cells will be counted those will occur multiple times now.
 * They are regarded as part of any column or row to which they extend.

Cell contents
Basically, only content of each cell will be taken into account.
 * That does mean: No markup will influence the analysis.
 * On the other hand: If parts of content are made invisible, they are still part of contents, whether it is visible or not.
 * Empty content does matter for counting and copy & paste operations.
 * An entire cell can be removed from selection by toggle button [-] and by [+] toggled back.

Numerical contents
For arithmetics some more effort will be taken:
 * If any  is attached to a cell that value will be used rather than cell contents.
 * That does mean: It may be specified  but cell content   – however, the numerical value will be used instead of text.
 * After first numerical evaluation contents in effect of such  will be shown as tooltip.

Numbers will be parsed from assignment in effect, be it  or cell contents, by the following rules:
 * All known types of leading spaces will be ignored if preceding the figure or between sign and first digit; might be HTML entities as well.
 * Signed numbers may be used. Those cover:
 * ASCII minus sign  (U+002D).
 * ASCII plus sign  (U+002B).
 * Typographic minus sign (U+2212).
 * Fullwidth plus/minus signs (U+FF0B / U+FF0D) may used if followed by digits from the same system.
 * Digits might be taken from common ASCII set U+0030...U+0039.
 * Several dozens of asian scripting systems may be used as well, as long as they maintain a sequence from zero to nine (only those ten digits are recognized).
 * Scientific or exponential number formatting may be used; that is:  (or downcased  ).
 * Number parsing will be stopped if any character, e.g. a regular space, is found that does not match the number formatting in effect.
 * Remember that any content of the cell will be taken into account. If the method which has been obsoleted in 2012 is used to precede numbers with invisible content to enforce sorting that is part of the significant content.

Number formatting
There are various systems to mark the beginning of decimal fraction in the world, as well as grouping digits by three (thousands), sometimes four, to improve readability.
 * Depending on knowledge about interpretation the value of a figure might change dramatically.  is regarded as thousand two hundred in the English world, but less than one and a half in e.g. German where the comma   is used as decimal separator.

The following number formatting schemes are offered on top of the page. They may be changed at any time and will be used for next interpretation on arithmetics.

In a MediaWiki page it will be tried to retrieve the project default number formatting on first page loading.

If successful that one is preselected for this page.

The default is the first one (English and programming).

To improve performance it is attempred to store that scheme as localStorage for this domain.

Functionalities
The # Σ Ø % ↕ toolbar is offering the following activities for selected column or row and the active cells.

Ranking and counting

 * 1) will cause numbering of active selected cells.
 * Each cell is preceded by the sequence number in a small box: 123
 * The total number of active cells is displayed in the toolbar.
 * When removing from active cells by [-] or adding to again by [+] the numbering and total count will be updated immediately.

Sum
Σ will trigger addition of all numerical values of all active cells which are recognized as numerical data.
 * Cells not recognized as numerical will be removed from set of active cells automatically.
 * The current sum is displayed in the toolbar.
 * When removing from active cells by [-] or adding to again by [+] the total amount will be updated immediately.

Average
Ø will calculate the average.
 * The functionality is the same as the sum but divided by the number of active cells, if any (zero if none).

Percentage
% calculates the percentual part of that cell at the total amount. The function is supposed to check existing percentages in (another) column.
 * Within every data cell the percentage will be prepended in a small box: 3,14%
 * Furthermore the total amont will be displayed in the heading cell.
 * On negative sum and/or alternating content negative values may yield respectively. Basically the feature is dedicated to positive figures.
 * Examples:
 * In first column the number of citizens or votes by party might be provided. In the second column the percentage will be present already. Now the percentage function may be applied to first column and the distribution can be compared.
 * Or run the percentage function on second column. The total is to be  and all values should match. If not then somewhere is a bug.

Copy & Paste
↕ (for a column) or ↔ (for a row) will insert a text field in the top of the page when used first.
 * In this area the contents of all active cells will be listed.
 * Every cell will be inserted as a single line.
 * Line breaks and some whitespace might be normalized.
 * That may be taken by copy&paste and used wherever needed.

Cookies
localStorage is attempted to memorize project number formatting scheme.

Internationalization
Not really required for gadget itself, since deliberately any text has been avoided.

A translation of this page may be offered.

Behaviour does not depend on scripting systems nor writing direction and does support non-ASCII digits.

Codes
A test page tells how to check for proper functionality.

Wikipedia:Featured article review/Operation Wrath of God/archive1

 * The following is an archived discussion of a featured article review. Please do not modify it. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page or at Wikipedia talk:Featured article review. No further edits should be made to this page.

The article was removed by Dana boomer 21:26, 12 August 2012.

Review commentary

 * Notified: User:Reenem, WT:ISRAEL, WT:PALESTINE

I raised concerns on the talk page a week ago. WikiProjects Palestine and Israel were notified of my talk page post, but no changes have neen made to the article since.

 * The prose is very choppy, with lots of one- and two-sentence paragraphs.
 * Nearly half of the "Operations" section is "On [date], [event]". This sentence structure is repeated ad nauseam and begging for a copy edit.
 * Entire third paragraph of "Attempted assassination of Golda Meir in Rome" is unsourced.
 * Sports Illustrated is tagged as an unreliable source, but I don't see how it is unreliable.
 * "the cited resource was decommissioned in 2008 and TKB records were later adopted by START. However a search of the available records (via http://www.start.umd.edu/start/) failed to uncover the originally cited material." — major WP:V issue, suggest outright removing the source then.
 * Black September Response seems short and has a one-sentence paragraph. Could this be combined somewhere else?
 * The "Notes" section has three dead links, all of which are bare URLs.

The article was FA nearly six years ago, and as usual, it hasn't been checked to make sure it still meets standards. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:07, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Move to FARC – The nine tags that I count in the article highlight issues that cause a failure of modern FA criteria. The copy-edit tag brings up a classic case of proseline, the numerous dead links are also troublesome, and the unreliable source tag for SI is debateable. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 01:09, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

FARC commentary

 * Featured article criteria mentioned as at issue in the review section include prose and references. Dana boomer (talk) 00:33, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delist, none of my concerns above have been addressed. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 04:42, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delist per TenPoundHammer's comments. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions)  08:16, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delist – The tag saying that Sports Illustrated was unreliable has been removed, but the remaining issues are still unaddressed. Unfortunately, I don't believe this meets FA requirements any more. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 00:03, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Sarah Bradford Ripley

Sarah Alden Bradford Ripley (July 31, 1793 – July 26, 1867) was an American educator and scholar at a time when women were rarely admitted to universities. She acquired most of her knowledge of the classics, philosophy, modern languages, botany, astronomy, and chemistry through independent study. She was reputedly "one of the most learned women of the nineteenth century."

Early life and education
Sarah Alden Bradford was born in Boston on July 31, 1793, the oldest of nine children of Gamaliel Bradford III and Elizabeth Hickling Bradford. Her mother had tuberculosis and her father was a sea captain who was often away on voyages, leaving Sarah to care for her younger siblings.

The family lived in Boston but often spent time in Duxbury, Massachusetts, where her paternal grandfather lived. There she met Abba B. Allyn, who became a lifelong friend. Allyn's father, Dr. John Allyn, tutored both girls in Latin and Greek. Bradford also attended classes taught by Jacob Abbot Cummings in Boston, and read the books her father brought home from his travels. While in her teens she taught herself to read French and Italian, and studied chemistry, physics, and botany on her own initiative.

According to one biographer, it took Bradford two weeks to work up the courage to ask her father for permission to study Latin. When she finally did, her father laughed and said, "A girl study Latin! Yes, study Latin if you want to. You may study anything you please."

In 1813 the family moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, where Bradford's father became the warden of the Charlestown State Prison. There she tutored her younger siblings in a makeshift schoolroom above the kitchen. She acquired a college education by proxy when her brothers attended Harvard College and she read their books. She also read German biblical criticism and had many discussions of theology with her aunt and mentor, Mary Moody Emerson.

One of her younger brothers, Gamaliel Bradford (1795-1839), went on to become a physician and a noted abolitionist.

The Ripley School
Her mother died in 1817, and soon afterwards she received a proposal of marriage from Samuel Ripley (1783-1847), a Harvard-educated Unitarian minister. Although she did not relish the thought of living in the country as a parson's wife, she accepted on the advice of her father. The couple were married on October 13, 1818, and moved into the parsonage in Waltham, Massachusetts, where Samuel Ripley was minister of the First Church. There they ran a small boarding school that accommodated about 14 boys, as well as four of Sarah's younger siblings. Sarah (now Sarah Ripley) was the "sole matron" of the school.

Sarah and Samuel Ripley had nine children, two of whom died in infancy. In addition to raising the children, Sarah Ripley taught at the school with the occasional help of tutors, including the young Ralph Waldo Emerson. The school gained an excellent reputation largely due to Sarah Ripley's scholarship and skill as a teacher. Harvard President Edward Everett said that she could have filled in for any professor at Harvard. Harvard would sometimes send students to her who had been "rusticated" (suspended); according to one of her former students, George Frisbie Hoar, they would come away "better instructed than they would have been if they had stayed in Cambridge."

In her thirties, she struggled to reconcile her faith with her knowledge of science. She often discussed spiritual matters with Frederic Henry Hedge, Margaret Fuller, Elizabeth Peabody, George Ripley, Convers Francis, and Theodore Parker, as well as her friend and relative Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Later years

In the spring of 1846, the Ripleys retired to Concord, Massachusetts, where Samuel Ripley had inherited a house from his father, Ezra Ripley. Its prior occupant, Nathaniel Hawthorne, published Mosses from an Old Manse that same year, and the house became known as "The Old Manse". Sarah Ripley continued tutoring students occasionally, including her grandchildren, and her husband continued preaching. Family friends in Concord included Franklin Benjamin Sanborn, Ellery Channing, and Asa Gray.

Samuel Ripley died of a heart attack in 1847, leaving Sarah Ripley to care for seven children, a grandchild, and a son-in-law. During the Civil War, one of her sons joined the Union army and was killed near Vicksburg in 1863. She died on July 26, 1867, at the home of her daughter, Mary Ripley Simmons. She was buried with her husband at the Emerson family plot in the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord.

Tributes
Ripley's contemporaries typically followed their praise for her intellect with some praise for her housekeeping and parenting skills. In 1876, her biography was included in a book published by the directors of the Centennial Exposition, along with those of five others who were considered "the best examples of American womanhood." In it, she is introduced as "one who combined rare and living knowledge of literature and science with the household skill and habits of personal labor needful to New England women of limited means."

Ralph Waldo Emerson called her "one of the best Greek scholars in the country," then hastened to add that "her mind was purely receptive. She had no ambition to propound a theory, or to write her own name on any book, or plant, or opinion. Her delight in books was not tainted by any wish to shine..." Emerson took care to reassure readers that her housework never suffered as a result of her studies:

"But this wide and successful study was, during all the hours of middle life, only the work of hours stolen from sleep, or was combined with some household task which occupied the hands and left the eyes free. She was faithful to all the duties of wife and mother in a well-ordered and eminently hospitable household."

George Frisbie Hoar called her "one of the most wonderful scholars of her time, or indeed of any time," and in the same paragraph described her as "simple as a child, an admirable wife and mother, performing perfectly all the commonest duties of the household."

Her friend Frederic Henry Hedge, observing in his eulogy that Ripley had never published a single piece of writing, praised her modesty and called her "a perfect woman."

Taoism & Concepts
Taoism was founded around 500 BCE by Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu wrote the sacred text the Tao Te Ching. Under the Tang dynasty, Taoism was declared the faith of the land. Taoism expansion declined along with the fall of the dynasty. Currently Taoism is banned from China by theb Republic of China Communist party, who declared atheism as the faith of the land. There is speculation that Lao Tzu may have never existed but the Taoist teachings would argue it doesn't matter whether or not Lao Tzu existed. Taoist believe in liberation from the material world and liberation through Wu Wei  and following the Tao. It is my understand that anyone could practice Taoism by studying the Tao Te Ching and following at least one of its “powers” Original  Taoism did not have a God or deities to worship but eventually evolved into having  deities in their temples. Taoism at its foundation see the Tao as its holy or divine. The first chapter of the Tao Te Ching talks about the Tao’s eternal-ness as if it was a higher power.

Wu Wei
There is a concept in Taoism known as Wu Wei. Wu Wei is the philosophy of flow and action through inaction. Taoist believe in obtaining and retaining Chi. Chi is living energy that is surrounding us. Chi is flowing therefore in order to be aligned with the Tao you must let it flow and the best way to let it flow is to let everything be fluid and let it pass.

Yin-Yang
Another concept Taoist believe in is the concept of the Yin-Yang. The Yin-Yang is the idea that there are opposites in the world that are necessary for the other to exist. One over takes the other, as it is symbolized by the Yin and the Yang. The opposites are not opposites at all but that are part of a whole. In Smith, death wasn’t viewed as good or bad but rather natural and this could  be attributed to the concept the Yin-Yang.

Regina Benjamin

Regina Marcia Benjamin (born October 26, 1956) is an American physician and a former vice admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps who served as the 18th Surgeon General of the United States. Benjamin previously directed a nonprofit primary care medical clinic in Bayou La Batre, Alabama, and served on the board of trustees for the Morehouse School of Medicine.

Early life and education
Benjamin was born in Mobile, Alabama on October 26, 1956. She graduated from Fairhope High School in Fairhope, Alabama, and then attended college at Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans, where she was initiated into the Gamma Alpha chapter of Delta Sigma Theta sorority. She is also a member of the second graduating class of Morehouse School of Medicine, then a two year program at Morehouse College. She received her M.D. degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and completed her residency in family medicine at the Medical Center of Central Georgia. About her experience as the first member of her family to attend medical school, she has stated "I had never seen a black doctor before I went to college." After entering solo medical practice in Bayou La Batre, Alabama, Benjamin worked for several years in emergency rooms and nursing homes to financially support its mission. After receiving an MBA from the Freeman School of Business at Tulane University, she converted her office to a rural health clinic.

Career
Benjamin is a former associate dean for rural health at the College of Medicine at the University of South Alabama, where she administered the Alabama AHEC program and previously directed its Telemedicine Program. She served as the president of the Medical Association of the State of Alabama (MASA) in 2002. In 1995, she was elected to the board of trustees of the American Medical Association, making her both the first physician under age 40 and the first African-American woman to be elected. She also served on the Board of Trustees of Florida A & M University, appointed by Florida Governor Jeb Bush. From 2008 to 2009, she served as Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Federation of State Medical Boards, a national non-profit organization representing the 70 medical and osteopathic boards of the United States and its territories.

Benjamin is a Diplomate of the American Board of Family Medicine and a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians. She was a Kellogg National Fellow and also a Rockefeller Next Generation Leader. She has served on boards and committees including the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured; Catholic Health East; Medical Association of the State of Alabama; Alabama Board of Medical Examiners; Alabama State Committee of Public Health; Mobile County Medical Society; Alabama Rural Health Association; Leadership Alabama; Mobile Area Red Cross; Mercy Medical; Mobile Chamber of Commerce; United Way of Mobile; Physicians for Human Rights; and Deep South Girl Scout Council.

She was appointed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala to the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act Committee and to the Council of Graduate Medical Education, and she is also a member of the "Step 3 Committee." In Alabama, she formerly served as vice president of the Governor's Commission on Aging, and also formerly as a member of the Governor's Health Care Reform Task Force and the Governor's Task Force on Children's Health.

She was a paid consultant for Burger King, contracted to provide nutritional advice on their offerings.

Benjamin's clinic was destroyed in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina and in 2006 by a fire on New Year's Day, one day before the scheduled reopening. She made headlines when she rebuilt the clinic a second time.

On March 10, 2016, it was announced that Benjamin will chair the National Kidney Foundation's CKDinsight summit. The summit is slated for fall of 2016, and it's a component of the National Kidney Foundation's new CKDintercept program, a multi-year initiative that aims to elevate chronic kidney disease (CKD) diagnosis and management to the front lines of preventive health in the U.S. health system. In addition to Dr. Benjamin, the list of invited stakeholders includes, but is not limited to, medical professional groups, large healthcare systems, laboratory services, advocacy groups, technology industry experts, and government and retail insurers. They will meet to develop innovative approaches to overcoming the obstacles that inhibit timely diagnosis of kidney disease. The goal of the meeting is to generate a clear, cohesive strategy that will create a roadmap for change that will elevate the national perception of kidney disease and create a culture where early detection is a priority.

In July 2016, Benjamin joined the Board of Directors of Darkness to Light, a national nonprofit advocate for child sexual abuse prevention. "This is not simply an issue for one family or community – it is a public health issue that affects society as a whole," Benjamin has said of the issue of child sexual abuse.

Bayou La Batre Rural Health Clinic
Benjamin is founder and CEO of the Bayou La Batre Rural Health Clinic in Bayou La Batre, Alabama, a small shrimping village along the Gulf Coast. Benjamin was the subject of a Reader's Digest article that chronicled her efforts to rebuild the clinic after Hurricane Katrina.

Surgeon General of the United States

On July 13, 2009, President Barack Obama announced the choice of Benjamin for the position of Surgeon General of the United States   and as a Medical Director in the regular corps of the Public Health Service. On October 7, 2009, Benjamin was unanimously approved by the United States Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. Benjamin was unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate on October 29, 2009.

Benjamin accepted the President's nomination, and made clear her dissatisfaction with the current health care system, in terms of accessibility as well as cost. Also in accepting her nomination, Benjamin described her own hardships faced by disease and illness in her own family. She noted the deaths of her brother, who died of HIV, as well as her father, who died of high blood pressure and diabetes, and her mother who died of lung cancer, all of which, she implied, were "preventable diseases."

In January 2010, Benjamin released her first document, entitled "The Surgeon General’s Vision for a Healthy and Fit Nation." In it she highlighted the alarming trend of overweight and obese Americans, and offered a blueprint for grassroots efforts to make changes that promote the health and wellness of families and communities. Her work in this area has continued. One program encouraged women of color to exercise more and not skip the gym for fear of "messing up their hair" gave $5,000 to the winner of a healthy hair and fitness competition. This was detailed in an NPR interview. During the course of this interview several other programs were discussed, including the campaign against obesity, and the "Million Hearts" campaign to prevent one million heart attacks each year.

On January 20, 2011, Dr. Benjamin issued The Surgeon General's Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding, which was a science-based summary document intended to stimulate action on improving breastfeeding rates in the United States. It called on all sectors within society to remove barriers to breastfeeding and likewise increase breastfeeding initiation, duration, and exclusivity – which had been the subject of public health campaigns for over three decades prior. Not only did this document provide action items and detailed implementation strategies, but it also recognized the support of family members, communities, clinicians, healthcare systems, and employers as crucial elements to breastfeeding success stories. Section 1, The Importance of Breastfeeding, featured information regarding excess health risks to mothers and their children associated with not breastfeeding, as well as economic and environmental benefits for choosing to breastfeed. Section 2, Rates of Breastfeeding, provided information on national trends in breastfeeding rates, and highlighted the persistent disparities observed in breastfeeding practices. Section 3, Barriers to Breastfeeding in the United States, identified deficits in knowledge, social and marketing pressures, insufficient support from family and friends, over-sexualization of female breasts, addressing problems with lactation, returning to work and finding suitable childcare, as well as fragmented healthcare services and the adoption of policies or routine practices that interfere with breastfeeding initiation, duration, and exclusivity. Section 4, Breastfeeding from the Public Health Perspective, organized the gaps in knowledge, cultural influences, clinical inconsistencies, challenges, and unanswered questions across the entities best positioned to address the issues identified. Section 5, A Call to Action, delineated responsibilities to each sector in society and provided the implementation strategies needed to achieve the nation’s goals for breastfeeding. There were 20 action items and 52 recommended implementation strategies.

In September, 2012, Surgeon General Benjamin issued "The 2012 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention, a report from the U.S. Surgeon General and the Action Alliance". This report discussed 13 goals and 60 objectives for reducing suicides over the next 10 years. In 2002, Surgeon General David Satcher launched the first National Strategy for Suicide Prevention.

Benjamin resigned from the position of U.S. Surgeon General on July 16, 2013.

Criticism
Her political support for abortion access had been cited as a source of controversy, since Benjamin is a Catholic and the Catholic Church opposes such access. However, she has also received an award from Pope Benedict XVI. Benjamin also sits on the board of the Catholic Health Association and is active in her local church. Benjamin served on the board of trustees of the Catholic Health Association. She was endorsed by Lloyd Dean, the president of Catholic Healthcare West, the largest hospital system in California, who issued a statement saying he was "delighted" by her nomination.

During her confirmation process, critics also sought to make Benjamin's personal weight a source of controversy.

The New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman said that Benjamin, "like most of her predecessors", avoided controversy, and avoided criticizing industry. The 2010 report, he said, blames "the victims" for eating too much and not getting enough exercise, while ignoring the marketing of junk food, and the scientific evidence for the contribution of sugar-sweetened food to obesity.

Awards
In 1998, she was the United States recipient of the Nelson Mandela Award for Health and Human Rights.

Benjamin was named by TIME magazine as one of the "Nation's 50 Future Leaders Age 40 and Under." She was featured in a New York Times article, "Angel in a White Coat," and was chosen "Person of the Week" by ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings, "Woman of the Year" by CBS This Morning, and "Woman of the Year" by People Magazine. She was also featured on the December 1999 cover of Clarity Magazine and received the 2000 National Caring Award, which was inspired by Mother Teresa.

In 2006, she was awarded the papal cross Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice by Pope Benedict XVI.

In 2008, Benjamin was named one of America's Best Leaders by U.S. News & World Report. In September 2008, she was one of that year's class of 25 in the MacArthur Fellows Program, nicknamed the "Genius Awards," receiving a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation that would have been worth $500,000 over the course of five years. However, as a federal employee, she had to stop accepting the MacArthur Fellows stipend when she accepted the position as Surgeon General.

In 2009, she received the American Medical Association Foundation Leadership Award.

In 2010, she was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Science from Dartmouth College at its Commencement ceremony.

On May 8, 2010, she was awarded an honorary degree of Doctorate of Pharmacy from the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences at the college's 130th Commencement ceremony held at the Empire State Plaza in Albany, New York.

On Saturday, May 15, 2010, Dr. Benjamin received an honorary degree of Doctor of Science at Tulane University Commencement.

On October 7, 2010, she received the Trumpeter Award from the National Consumers League recognizing her years of service to improving the nation's health.

On May 28, 2011, she received an honorary degree of Doctorate of Humane Letters from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, after which she delivered the address for the school's 205th commencement.

On May 18, 2012, she received an honorary degree of Doctorate of Science from the University of Rochester Medical Center's School of Medicine and Dentistry. She also delivered the commencement address.

On May 9, 2014, she received The Nichols-Chancellor's Medal from Vanderbilt University and spoke at the University's Senior Day event.

On May 14, 2016, she received an honorary degree from Elizabethtown College.

PHP/Introduction

PHP (recursive acronym for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor"—formerly the acronym for "Personal Home Page") is a server-side scripting language designed for use in web based applications. As it is a server side scripting language, its use requires a web server installed, configured and enabled with PHP.

Introduction
This is a course designed to teach PHP by example (and eventually assignment) to anyone willing to learn. Bear in mind that this course is still a work in progress and is by no means comprehensive in its current state. In addition, it is fairly fast paced and it is suggested participants utilize various other learning resources to assist them in their learning.

If you feel that a certain section lacks detail, or there is a blatant error in a statement, change it! Alternatively, point it out on the talk page and an experienced user will take a look at it.

For a more complete tutorial, visit: http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp

Prerequisites

 * Some sort of Introduction to Programming
 * Whatever basic courses are available at Computer Programming
 * Strongly recommended that participants have access to a PHP enabled webserver or install XAMPP / WAMP / LAMP on their system to practice

Basic Syntax
When PHP parses a file (web servers are generally configured to have PHP parse files with the .php extension), it looks for an opening tag and a closing tag and then interprets the code between the two: PHP will output everything that is not contained within an opening tag (commonly , however the shorter <? tag is no longer recommended as it conflicts with XML opening tags) and a closing tag (?> or ) exactly as it is written. All statements in PHP should end with a semicolon; most of the time only one statement will occur on each line. This denotes to the PHP interpreter that the statement it has read is complete and that it should anticipate the next (or the ?> tag or EOF, end of file). This is because different text editors handle new lines differently.

The Notepad utility on Microsoft Windows is notorious for being terrible with UNIX end of line compatibility. This is because Notepad expects \r\n, both a newline and a carriage return, while UNIX-based systems only insert the \n newline character. Notepad will open a UNIX-style text file and show the "empty box" unrecognized character instead of the expected line break. Using a more advanced text editor will alleviate these conflicts; the UNIX style produces a smaller script file because each newline only requires 2 bytes (one character) to break the line instead of 4 bytes. For large files, this could make a difference but only as far as storage on your server goes, because the PHP code is never sent to the user's browser, only the result of the PHP commands that were executed; the user will get nothing more than HTML, ideally.

Terminating statements with the semicolon allows coders to squeeze together small blocks of code on the same line. For example, the following is acceptable: And will work just the same as the example below. Even though this code will be interpreted correctly by the server, it is generally considered poor style

Variables
see also /Variables/

Variables are locations in memory where information is stored. PHP scripts can contain variables, which are denoted with the $ at the start of their unique identifier (two variables with the same identifier are, essentially, the same variable). Unlike many low end languages, variables in PHP need not be declared and defined—when a variable is used, PHP automatically creates it and assigns it a null value if it does not already exist. Take a look at this example: Notice the difference from the first example—in this, we assign the sentence This is being parsed. to the variable $message and then output it. This may seem like a pointless example, but rest assured, variables have a very important purpose in PHP. In addition, variables in PHP are not statically typed, meaning that there is only one generic type for scalar values (numbers and strings), and another 2 types for aggregate structures (arrays and hashes ("associative arrays")).

Arrays
An array is a special variable that stores one or more values in a single variable. If you have a list of items, storing them in single variables could look like this: $item1="item-name1"; $item2=" item-name2"; $item3=" item-name3";

An array can hold all your variable values under a single name and you can access the values by referring to the array name. Each element in the array has its own index so that it can be easily accessed. In PHP, there are three kind of arrays (PHP tutorial to learn more about kinds of arrays):

 * Numeric array – An array with a numeric index
 * Associative array – An array where each ID key is associated with a value
 * Multidimensional array – An array containing one or more arrays

Alternatively, Arrays can be defined like a set of variables and values, combined together under one common name. For example, if we have 3 variables: An array can be made with these three variables and their values with a more common name like "eatables". So if we create an array, it will be something like: OR Now, as discussed above, the 3 kinds of arrays in PHP are as follows this:

1. Numeric array: the array with numeric index. Example: To access users from this array, we use: $users[0], $users[1] & so on. Hence this is called a numeric array.

2. Associative array: array with strings as the index. Example: To access data, we use: $eatables['fruit'], $eatables['vegetable'] etc. Thus eatables is an Associative array where a meaningful or non-meaningful string (variable name) is associated with each value.

3. Multidimensional array: an array of arrays. Example: To access 'banana', you refer to $food['fruits'][0], or for 'carrot', you use $food['vegetables'][1]. Thus food has more than 1 dimension (or level), and is a multidimensional array. The only limit to the number of dimensions is the size of the memory stack available to your program. (The same goes for the number of elements to an array.)

Constants
see also /Constants/

Constants are generally immutable (unchangeable) values supplied by the PHP execution environment. They are used to pass various bits of information which might be useful at runtime. To see what some of these constants and "environment variables" are, create a file named  on your PHP web server with the following contents: This will also give other information about your system. Note that most of the environment variables are given in a special associative array,

Strings
Strings in PHP can be specified in one of two ways. Using normal strings, the preprocessor will also parse any variable names that are encountered, substituting their value:
 * String literals—single-quoted strings:
 * Normal strings—double-quoted strings:

Escaping Strings
Depending on how you have declared a string, and how the data in the string is formatted, it may be necessary to escape certain characters. Take the following code, for example: There is no problem with the declaration of $str, but PHP will throw an error upon encountering the $str2 declaration. Can you see why this is?

As far as PHP is concerned, the contents of $str2 stopped when it encountered the second ' (single quote). After that, the interpreter found some stray characters followed by an orphan ' (single quote) with no closing quote.

To overcome this problem, we use PHP's escape character, the backslash. The above variable declaration is now valid.

Escaping can also be used when wanting to output a special character, such as \n (newline), in a Normal String Declaration. Can you think of a way we could escape \n to allow us to output '\n' as opposed to a newline?

Of course, it is exactly the same as escaping the single quote, we apply a backslash to \n, turning it into \\n, thus escaping the initial backslash that was portraying it as a special character, and representing it literally.

Comments
PHP supports commenting code for ease of viewing by humans. There are two common ways of commenting: comment blocks and line commenting.

Comment blocks
Comment blocks work by denoting a range from one point to another within a script as a comment, which is then ignored entirely by the PHP interpreter. They can be inserted anywhere (although it is good practise to give them their own few lines in the script for readability's sake) and are denoted by two special characters: / and *. Take a look at this example: Notice that the order of the / and * alternate. To designate an area in a script as a comment block, simply begin it with a /* and end with a */. Comments can, as mentioned above, be placed anywhere like this: Notice that comment blocks are placed between the echo function and its parameters, within the function call for echo itself (ec/* ... */ho), within the string passed to the echo function and just before the end of line declaration (with the semicolon).

Line commenting
Line commenting is much like the comment block, except that it only affects a particular line from a given point onwards, cannot be ended until the next line and uses the // or # operator. Examine the following example: Anything after a // on a line is considered a comment, ignored entirely by the interpreter and meaningless to anything but a human examining the code. Remember that the use of echo 'This will NOT be parsed.'; above is totally immaterial; the word echo will not be treated as a function call. A // can also be added to the end of a line (must be after the semicolon if there is a function call on the same line) and anything after it will be commented, like so:

Functions and arguments
PHP is well known for its extensive library of built-in functions. A function in PHP is a set of code predefined to be called by a particular keyword, either built into PHP's numerous libraries, or defined by the person writing the script within the code. A function can be declared like this: In the same script, the function can then be called like this: This will output 'Stuff' (without the quotation marks). Functions can have arguments which can be passed when the function is called. An argument is a variable that you pass directly to the function. Here is an example of a simple function that takes a name as an argument, and outputs a nice greeting: Note the use of the period here, between "'Hi '" and "$name". This will concatenate the two variables together.

We can call this function in a couple of ways, either by passing a defined variable to it: Or, we can just pass the name directly to the function, also called a 'literal string': Finally, we can also pass multiple arguments to a function. To do this, just separate each variable with a comma:

Assignment
Now it's your turn to get your hands dirty! Create a function that takes a name, an age, and a height, and outputs a sentence using all of these variables. Also, call the function using a combination of variables and literals.

Check your answer here: /PHP Assignment Answers/, and remember, in programming there are a thousand ways to do anything, so don't worry if your script doesn't exactly match the answer! Just make sure it works.

Andreas H. Hielscher (born February 15, 1964) is a German-born-American bioengineer, known as one of the earliest researchers in the field of biomedical optics.

Andreas H. Hielscher has published over 150 full-length peer-reviewed, archival papers and book chapters, has delivered over 150 podium presentations at bioengineering meetings, and he has delivered over 200 invited seminars, keynote, plenary and distinguished named lectures in biomedical optics. According to Google Scholar, his papers have been cited over 10,-00 times, and he has an h-index of 50 as of April 22, 2020.

His work on optical tomographic imaging in biological tissues is one of the most often cited biomedical optics papers in the world. . Among Hielscher's many activities, he was the first PhD to be elected President and from 2020 to 2030 he was the chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at New York University.

Early life and education
Hielscher's was born in Bremen, Germany, in 1964. His father Helmut Hielscher, was a war refugee born in 1934 in Röhrsdorf, Silesia. His mother Inge Peschel was born in Rönnebeck, Bremen in 1935 to Otto and Mia Peschel. Helmut Hielscher was an engineering at the prominent German shipbuilding company, Vulkan, which was located at the Weser river in Bremen-Vegesack. In the late 80th and early 90th, Helmut Hielscher was largely responsible for bringing the Weserdampfer to Vegesack. In addition, he was instrumental in shipping routes between Italy and Germany. In 1999, Helmut Hielscher was assigned to the U.S. to establish the German-American Chamber of Commerce. In August 1999, he was awarded the U.S. Legion of Merit by President Clinton, for "exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services to the Government of the United States." In 2001 his wife, Inge Hielscher, passed away from ovarian cancer.

In the early nineties, Inge Hielscher became entangled in an embezzlement scandal that was covered in great detail in major Rönnebeck and Bremen newspapers. The Kohl government of the Germany alleged that Inge Hielscher failed to account for $50. After a short legal battle, during which Inge and Helmut moved to Austria, [7]  the Federals Appeals Court in Frankfurt overturned a lower-court ruling, and awarded Inge Hielscher $368,503.

Growing up under rather pleasant circumstances, which he detailed in a 2012 lecture, Hielscher managed to obtain a bachelor's degree in Applied physics from University of Hannover in 1991. After graduation, Hielscher decided to pursue a Ph.D. degree at Rice University in Electrical and Computer Engineering. In his thesis he designed and implemented a frequency-domain optical tomographic imaging system for near-infrared assessment of blood oxygenation in the brain. His sister, Beate Hielscher is a well known psychologist in the Bielefeld, Germany.

In 1992 Hielscher married Maria Anagnostopoulou, who studied French Literature at Rice University. They live together in Brooklyn Heights, NY, with their daughter Amelie Hielscher.

Career and Scientific Research
Following his doctoral graduation in 1995, Hielscher went on for a postdoctoral fellowship at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico with Irving Bigio. Two years later, he joined the State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Medical Center, in Brooklyn, NY. He accepted a position as non-tenure Associate Professor in the newly formed Department of Biomedical Engineering (DBME) at Columbia University in 2001. In 2007 her was granted tenure. Subsequently he was promoted to the rank of Professor. Hielscher moved to New York University in 2020 as Chair of the newly established Department of Biomedical Engineering.

Honours
In 2002 Hielscher was elected to the Academy of Engineering "For major contributions toward biomedical optics and its clinical application to to vascular diseases, cancer, and joint diseases." In 2044, SPIE established the Hielscher Medal for its Bioengineering Division to be bestowed upon an individual who has demonstrated meritorious contributions to the field of biomedical optics.

Sexual Healing publishing rights
To say this matter is controversial is to state the obvious. Am I alone in feeling this must be sourced to clarify the matter? To cite Ritz will obviously be non-objective so please don't point to "Divided Soul" as it will only heighten the controversy. Mr. Ritz is felt by some to have insinuated himself into various circumstances and it will serve all to clarify this matter. (I'm stating this objectively, I honestly don't have a proper opinion on the matter).--Tednor 02:21, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

If Mr. Ritz original source material backs up his assertions, then please point specifically to the cited resource and not the text of the biography itself. Again, I admire Mr. Ritz for his many contributions to Soul Music culture in general and I'd like to know how this matter is resolved. Thanks to those who provide sources, as it is important work that most of us (me guilty!) tend to overlook.--Tednor 02:31, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

'Ritz may have also assisted Gaye in naming the song; after looking at Gaye's extensive porn collection, he had told Marvin that he needed "sexual healing".' Well, I heard him say as much on Saturday 12 April 2008, in a talk at the Pop Conference at Experience Music Project (EMP); also that the remark was related to the collection being particularly nasty and hardcore porn. The talk was recorded and archived for EMP, but I don't know what the deal will be on getting access to that, so I don't know if it will meet Wikipedia's standards for citation. He basically said that remark of his was the starting point for the song, and that he and Gaye wrote it in about 5 minutes. - Jmabel | Talk 23:03, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Voice (Takemitsu)

Voice is a 1971 composition for solo flute by Tōru Takemitsu. The piece was composed on April 8, 1971, finished in one day, and it was premiered two months later by in Tokyo by Swiss flautist Aurèle Nicolet, by whom the piece was commissioned. A performance of the piece typically lasts around six minutes. It is divided into three sections: "Encounter", "Active", and "Calm".

Composition
Voice is notable for its use of extended techniques for the flute, including key slaps, multiphonics, and a variety of articulations. While writing the piece, Takemitsu likely consulted Bruno Bartolozzi's book New Sounds for Woodwinds.

As suggested by the piece's title, the flautist is required to speak sing, shout, hum, growl, and click the tongue throughout the piece. Over the course of the work, a spoken text is also delivered; for this, Takemitsu used a line from the poem Handmade Proverbs by Shuzo Takiguchi, first recited in French and then in English: "Qui va là? Qui que tu sois, parle, transparence! (Who goes there? Speak, transparence, whoever you are!)"

Voice also shows influences from Japanese music and theater, with comparisons being drawn to shakuhachi music and Noh.

Talk:Đại Việt–Lan Xang War (1479–1484)

Alliance
Some author said that the war also involved Thai, Ava and Chieng Hung:

https://books.google.com.vn/books?id=XR91bs70jukC&pg=PA111&lpg=PA111&dq=daiviet+invasion+of+lan+xang&source=bl&ots=kbB-7rmFlo&sig=ACfU3U2r4sTHOLb_7ApN4ZbJyhY0mhS0uw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjigrHdy87mAhWVMN4KHTR5DjcQ6AEwDnoECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q&f=false — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:51, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Interesting. My reading of the source that you cite is that the Vietnamese were intent on expanding their country and attacked not only Laos, but also Siam, Ava, Chieng Hung and any other country to their west. I don't read, however, where those other countries fought and cooordinated with the Laotians. So to me they did not participate in the Vietnamese-Laotian war of 1479-1480, but rather fought their own conflicts against Vietnam. I don't believe, however, that any of those conflicts which may have occurred between Vietnam and Siam, Ava, or Chieng Hung was very significant as I don't see it listed in the List of wars involving Vietnam. Throughtout those times there were many, many border scuffles that occurred, but really can't be classified as wars. So I believe that the article ought to stay as currently written. Thanks, VFF0347 (talk) 19:39, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

The territory change
Dear

I am searching for information about the war recently and found out that there was a territory change according to 2 Vietnamese geography and history records: Lịch triều hiến chương loại chí (歷朝憲章類誌) and Đại Việt địa dư toàn biên (大越地輿全編). Classical Chinese versions:

http://lib.nomfoundation.org/collection/1/search?csrfmiddlewaretoken=959cd7e79b4d203176298ed1ef2309ab&query=%E5%A4%A7%E8%B6%8A%E5%9C%B0%E8%BC%BF%E5%85%A8%E7%B7%A8

http://lib.nomfoundation.org/collection/1/volume/120/

Territory of Muang Phuan kingdom spread from today Lao's Houaphanh province in the North to Khammouane province in the South, after the war the northern part (Houaphanh and Xiangkhouang, now renamed "Tran Ninh" by Vietnamese) was merged with Nghe An of DaiViet, the southern remain under Lanxang control.

24 December 2019 (UTC)

That is interesting, but do you believe that the territorial change was significant? To me I still believe that it was a meaningless war that really didn't change very much. From what I read the Vietnamese eventually returned home as I believe that they were concerned that the Chinese might invade. After the Vietname returned home, the two countries (Vietnam and Laos) lived in peace for two centuries. So in conclusion, I believe that the article ought to stay as currently written. Thanks, VFF0347 (talk) 19:39, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Major Re-write
I will be re-writing this article. I have obtained copies of the two excellent histories of Laos / Lan Xang that were referenced and I find that the article currently does not accurately reflect what was written about the war and its impact upon history. The current article also exaggerates the length and breadth of the war. There is not a lot of information generally available about the war and numerous issues are in dispute. I find the current article biased in favor of Vietnam without support for many of the statements made. So I plan to re-write, trying to stay true to what is said in the references that I cite. I will also be changing the name of the article. My apologies to the original author(s) for what I have changed, however without additional / better sources and inline citations, I do not believe what was originally written. VFF0347 VFF0347 (talk) 19:16, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Changes to "Vietnamese-Laotian War (1479-80)"
Dear Contributor <IP_ADDRESS>

I am going to undo the changes you made today to the article "Vietnamese-Laotian War (1479–80)." The changes that I made when re-writing the article are factual and based upon two excellent sources. I have provided citations with sources for everything that I wrote.

The changes that you made in some cases are a matter of opinion and in other cases not factual. Your have not provided any citations or new sources to support your changes. If you really feel that I have made errors, please provide new citations and the source(s) for your changes. Please have the courage to come out from under your veil of anonymity and support your position with your arguments and sources, person-to-person.

I have tried to be straightforward and factual in my rewrite. My rewrite was not mean to be an affront to Vietnam or the history of Vietnam. I am simply trying to report factual history. If you re-change the article again without coming forward to discussion particular issues and providing justification (citations and sources) I will report your changes as vandalism.

Map
The article could really use a new map- showing all Southeast Asia isn't necessary. Many other maps have been created by Vietnamese nationalists simply wanting to show a territorial expansion- which really didn't happen at this time, and wouldn't happen until the 19th century. A regional map, with the major waterways would show the conflict much better, and how it was that Dai Viet moved to the Shan regions. Using John Whitmore and Li Tana you at least get place names. I'd be happy to help out how i could. StampyElephant (talk) 14:08, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Vice Chief of Space Operations

The vice chief of space operations (VCSO) is an office held by a four-star general in the United States Space Force. The vice chief directly supports the Chief of Space Operations (CSO) by serving as a member of the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) and also operates with the full authority of the chief of space operations during the CSO's absence. The VCSO is nominated for appointment by the president and confirmed by the Senate. The VCSO is the second-highest position in the U.S. Space Force, equivalent to other services' vice chief positions.

History
In February 2020, the Space Force sent a report to the United States Congress on the service's proposed organizational structure, in which it outlines the plan for the position of the vice chief of space operations. The VCSO would be established as a four-star statutory position with duties and responsibilities equivalent to other service vice positions that would grant the VCSO parity with vice positions established in law in the other military services.

On August 6, 2020, Lieutenant General David D. Thompson was nominated for promotion to general and assignment as the first VCSO. The United States Senate confirmed him on September 30, 2020. Thompson was promoted on October 1, 2020, and assumed the position of VCSO the next day, October 2, 2020.

In 2023, Thompson retired from active duty. Lieutenant General Michael Guetlein, the nominee to succeed Thompson, wasn't confirmed by the Senate because of a hold placed by Senator Tommy Tuberville on all Department of Defense nominees, so Lieutenant General Philip Garrant, the most senior officer in the Space Staff, took over as acting VSCO.

Lack of a Stomach
As far as I can tell, this article does not mention the fact that platypus' oesophagus lead directly to their intestine, as they do not possess a stomach. How/where should this be implemented? GhostofaThousandArticles (talk) 17:24, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Do you have a reliable reference for this information? - UtherSRG (talk) 17:31, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * There are several sources that bluntly state that the platypus doesn't have a stomach, but this seemingly reliable source, tells a slightly more complex story - "The platypus’s digestive tract includes a small expanded pouch-like section where one would normally expect a stomach to be found. The stomach doesn’t secrete digestive acids or enzymes, though it does contain Brunner’s glands (which produce a mucus-rich fluid to assist nutrient absorption)...." HiLo48 (talk) 01:13, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I was trying to find something that went more in depth into it. GhostofaThousandArticles (talk) 15:56, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Platypuses Excrition
I've been searching for a while what type of excretion does platypuses have because they are mammals so you'd assume they excrete urea like other mammals but it's also problematic because they have an egg unlike other mammals (it's problematic because urea is soluble in water and is toxic so it would kill the embryo) and other creatures with eggs (for example reptiles and birds) use uric acid instead because it's not water soluble and not toxic. What I finally found out is that they excrete urea like other mammals and it works with their eggs because they have a soft egg so the urea can get out of it and not kill the embryo (similar thing happens with fish that use ammonia which is even more toxic). I think this fact should be added to the wiki page on platypuses. My main source and a source that has a bunch of information about platypus's biology - Source Vupini (talk) 23:20, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Well, not exactly "disproven" - the study that the piece refers to is actually rather cagey about the issue, and only makes very general cautionary statements about the potential effects of preservatives on luminescence. It doesn't even refer to that specific item/report in this respect. I suppose one could add something like "although it has been suggested that this may have been affected by preservatives used on the tested museum specimen (ref)", but nothing stronger, absent more in-depth coverage. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:16, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Lifespan
Hi, I can't edit this page, but the information on lifespan seems out of date. This article currently says: In captivity, platypuses have survived to 17 years of age, and wild specimens have been recaptured when 11 years old. A 2024 study has new info on their longevity: the oldest wild platypus found has been 24, and the oldest in captivity is 30 years old as of writing (birthday in October).
