Cary High School

Cary High School is one of six public high schools in Cary, North Carolina, and is part of the Wake County Public School System. In 1907, Cary High School became the first state-funded public high school in North Carolina. It was selected as a Blue Ribbon School in 2002.

Original campus
Cary High School opened in 1896 as a private boarding school. It was established to provide "a higher course of instruction" than could be found in the local one-room schools of the area. It was located in the old Cary Academy at the head of Academy Street. Its first class graduated in May 1897. The school's first principal was Edwin Lee Middleton.

In 1907, the North Carolina legislature approved a state-wide public education system. Eight days later on April 3, 1907, the board of directors of Cary High School sold it to the Wake County Board of Education for $2,750—its estimated value at the time was more than $8,000. Half of the purchase price was paid for by the State under the new legislation. Thus, Cary High School is the first county high school in North Carolina, the first state-funded high school in North Carolina, and the first high school in the state system. The school was managed by the Cary School Committee under the leadership of C. W. Scott, chair.

The State Legislature approved the establishment of a Cary School District and authorized a school tax for residents of the area. The Cary School Committee could charge up to 30¢ in school taxes for every $100 of real estate owned in the district. The citizens approved the tax in a referendum held on May 7, 1907. The outcome of the referendum was 100 in favor of the school tax and two against it. Those who lived outside the Cary School District could attend the high school for $14 a term for freshmen and sophomores and $16 a term for juniors and seniors.

Middleton remained as the school's principal during the transition, retiring in 1908. His replacement was superintendent Marcus Baxter Dry. The curriculum consisted of one year of French, three years of science, and four years of English, history, Latin, and mathematics. The latter included arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. Domestic science was added for female students in 1910. Students could add art, elocution, music, or piano to their studies for an added fee.

In the fall of 1912, 119 students enrolled in the high school. This number included eighty boarding students from other counties. The curriculum expanded to include agriculture, botany, and chemistry as science options. That year, the Girls Athletic Club was formed so that female students could play tennis and basketball.

By 1913, the student body had outgrown the campus. Dry asked the citizens of the school district to increase the school tax so that the school could have a new building with a modern heating system. In May 1913, the voters approved $25,000 in bonds for a new 33-room brick building to be placed on the site of the original wood frame building. The State contributed an additional $5,000 to construct what was considered "the best high school building in the state". Dry recalled, "It can truly be said that this building led the way for better high school buildings in North Carolina. Many delegations of school people from all over the State came to Cary to see this building, and many a building in the next few years was modeled after it."

In 1914, the school changed its name to Cary Public High School and Farm Life School to reflect an expanded curriculum that included vocational agriculture and home economics. The next year, fifteen acres on what is now Walnut Street were donated by James M. Templeton Jr. for hands-on learning in farming. An additional $1,500 was donated by others and the Town of Cary to add a barn, farmhouse, dairy cows, and other stock to the model farm. (The farmhouse survives at 510 Walnut Street.) Students enrolled in the agricultural program would arrive early to milk the cows; the milk was then served with breakfast at the school for boarding students.

In 1915, the Chsite yearbook premiered. In 1919, students organized a student council, a general athletic association, and The Echo campus newspaper. In 1921, a marching band was formed, and school colors of olive green and white were selected, along with the white rose as the school flower. The school motto was "service".

Also in 1920, Cary voters approve $45,000 in bonds for a new farm life department building. The result was Walter Hines Page Vocational Education Building which was completed in 1922. The next year, a State Normal Class for Teachers was started at Cary High School; this was one of four sites for this program in the state and it operated for five years. By 1924, students could receive either an academic, agriculture, home economics or teacher training diploma.

A new gymnasium, the James M. Templeton Physical Education Building, was added to the campus in 1925 at the cost of $12,000. The gym seated 500 people and allowed students to play basketball on a wooden court, rather than on dirt. By 1926, campus athletics included five organized sports—baseball, basketball, football, tennis, and track. Student clubs included the Boys Glee Club, the Dramatic Club, the Girls Glee Club, the Home Economics Club, four literary societies, and the Science Cub.

In 1926, the school acquired its first bus which traveled 24 miles a day for 22 students. Realizing the potential benefit of buses, the Wake County Board of Education expanded the Cary School District from the Raleigh City limits near the State Fairgrounds to the Durham County line in 1927. Busing allowed the county to consolidate schools in Morrisville, Reedy Creek, and Sorrell's Grove with Cary, closing the smaller locations. At the same time, the Board of Education allocated $38,000 to construct a new building for the Cary High School campus, and an additional $12,000 to update heating systems. The school also had a library with 1,970 volumes.

When the Great Depression hit Cary, property values dropped which reduced the school tax income. The Board of Education closed Mount Herman and Ebenezer schools, sending those students to Cary. The State legislature increased its funding which helped offset the loss of tax revenue, and eventually ended the local school tax altogether in 1933. However, there were still campus budget cuts such as no new books for the library and ceasing publication of the Chsite yearbook. The dormitories were also closed, ending the school's era of being a boarding school. At this time, grades 1 through 11 were taught at Cary High School under a consolidated school program. WPA funding allowed the school to expand its athletic fields by five acres. The community combined WPA funding, county funding, and local support to build what was then one of the finest football stadiums in North Carolina, with seating for 1,500 people.

The success of the football field project led to the collaborative funding of a new central school building, with the Board of Education providing $70,000 and the WPA providing the balance of the $132,000 cost of construction. The dedication stone of the new building read: Cary High School

First State Public High School

Established in North Carolina on April 3, 1907

This building was erected in 1938.

However, the building was mostly constructed in 1939. The new three-story building included many modern features, such as a cafeteria, fire doors, a first aid room, an intercom system, a movie projector, a sound-proof typing room, and an auditorium with 834 seats. At the dedication ceremony on March 4, 1940, Governor Clyde Hoey said Cary was "a beacon of hope and inspiration to other communities of the State". The News and Observer wrote, "Cary High School and its predecessor, Cary Academy, has occupied a position of leadership in the field of secondary education, not only in Wake County but in the State as a whole for 75 years."

In 1941, Cary had the largest high school in Wake County, with 460 students. The next year, Dry retired after 34 years as principal. However, he then began teaching algebra in summer school. Thaddeus N. Frye became the new principal or superintendent. That same year, Wake County added the 12th grade to its curriculum, and the school year was extended from eight to nine months in 1943.

In 1956, Cary High School was the first school in Wake County to be accredited by the Southern Association of Secondary Schools. The next year, the Wake County Board of Commissioners purchased forty acres of land for $30,000 from Luther M. Maynard as a site for a new Cary High School. In 1958, 150 residents debate the proposed location with the Wake County Board of Education; while many liked the new site, others thought the property which was one mile from downtown was too far out in the country and lacked good road access.

However, plans went forward with construction at the new campus. The last graduating class to attend their senior year at the original campus was the Class of 1960; it was also the first class to have more than 100 graduating members. The original campus became Cary Junior High and Elementary School, then Cary Elementary School. On August 13, 2011, it opened as the Cary Arts Center.

Current campus
The new campus of Cary Senior High School opened on September 7, 1960, with new principal Samuel Arbes. The campus was filled to capacity when it opened with 573 students comprising the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. The campus consisted of three classrooms buildings, a gymnasium, a library, an auditorium, a cafeteria, and a shop building. Its architect was William A. Deitrick and the builder was J. M. Thompson Construction Company of Raleigh. The construction cost $771,251, with an additional $38,000 for design fees. By 1962, it was estimated that the high school needed ten more classrooms. The resulting building expansion allowed the student body to also include freshmen, starting in 1963. At this time, the school's name reverted to Cary High School.

Also in 1963, the Wake County Board of Education approved the voluntary transfer of six students from the all-black Berry O'Kelly School to Cary High School under the "freedom of choice" policy adopted by the board following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on segregation. Cary the first school to be desegregated in Wake County outside of Raleigh (William G. Enloe High School being the first within the city of Raleigh). Board of Education member Ferd Davis recalled that Cary was specifically selected for integration because it was an area that was already rapidly changing and "would accept something new more readily". Some white parents sued the school system over the integration, and the suit was thrown out by the North Carolina Supreme Court.

These transfer students were seniors, Lucille Evans and Frances Louise White, juniors Gwendolyn Matthews and Brenda Lee Hill, sophomore Ester Lee Mayo, and freshman Phyllis Rose. These six African-American girls, chosen to be bright, outgoing, and "strong-willed enough to take what was inevitably coming to them", came to the school amid intense verbal opposition from whites. When the students arrived on campus, they were greeted by student protesters. Matthews recalls, "My parents…said it would get better, and it did. The demonstrations went on for ten days with fewer students participating each day. They were never more than fifty…and that's not many at a school the size of Cary". Evans and White graduated in 1964. That fall, Gregory Crowe became the first African American male student at Cary High School. In 1967, the Board of Education decided to integrate Cary High School by making the former black high school the 9th grade Junior High for all races, and transferring all black sophomores, juniors and seniors to what was again called Cary Senior High School. Under the scheme, the senior high school had 764 whites and 112 blacks, or a minority rate of 12.8%.

By 1972, the school was again overcrowded, resorting to the use of two mobile classrooms or trailers. When the school opened in the fall of 1973, there were more than 1,500 students, requiring the use of eight classroom trailers. In 1973, a county-wide bond referendum gave $700,000 to expand Cary High School. Construction began in May 1974 on an eight-classroom building to house foreign languages, a library expansion, an auto mechanics shop, a stadium field house, and a new lobby and expanded offices for Building A.

In 1989, a 4.5 million dollar school construction project brought more improvements to the school, such as the addition of Building 10 which included a new air-conditioned media center. This allowed freshmen to return to campus for the first time since the mid-1960s. However, in 1995 the school had some 1,800 students in a space designed for some 1,455 students. In 1996, there was a $3.44 million bond approved for school improvements, including a new classroom and administrative space, Building A renovations for the performing arts department, a career center, and computer labs—expanding the school's capacity to 1,585 students. Work also began on a new main entrance at the front of the school.

In 2004, plans by the architectural firm of Clark Nexsen were approved to renovate and expand campus facilities, including the construction of a new auditorium, gymnasium, music classrooms, and a new classroom building. Construction was completed by J. M. Thompson of Cary and the new three-story classroom building was opened in August 2008. As part of this project, the existing auditorium, band room, Building E, Building F and part of Building B were demolished. In total, 78,063 square feet were demolished, with 135,839 square feet being added, and 26,831 square feet being renovated.

In 2012, Clark Nexsen designed a master plan for Phase III of campus updates, including a dining addition and a 100,000-square-foot classroom. The project will be started when funding is in place.

Students from Cary High School have received the Morehead-Cain Scholarship for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the John T. Caldwell Scholarship to North Carolina State University.

The school's Career & Technical Education Department's goal is to prepare students for employment. In addition to classroom learning, internships are also included for many students. The educational areas include agriculture; business, finance and marketing; career development; computer science and information technology; family and consumer sciences; health sciences; and trade, technology, engineering and industrial education.

Since the fall of 2022, Cary High School also includes The Academy of Technology and Advanced Manufacturing, an "immersive, smaller learning community within Cary High School". The academy is a four-year program that focuses on advanced manufactures, design, engineering, and technology. Cary High School invested more than $100,000 in electrical, electronic, instrumentation, pneumatic/flow control, and robotic equipment that incorporates current technologies.

Rankings
As of 2022, U.S. News & World Report ranks Cary High School 14th amongst the high schools in Wake County, North Carolina. It is also ranked 96th in North Carolina, and 3,781 in the nation. Niche gives the school an "A" rating and places the school at #70 in North Carolina.

Academic honors
Juniors and seniors with a 3.6 GPA can apply to join the National Honor Society.

At graduation, Honor Students with a GPA of 3.75 or greater receive gold/silver/red tassels for their mortar board and a patch to add to their gown.

Library
The school's media center has a staff of two. Students have access to online databases as well as a physical book collection. The media center's website includes book reviews written by students and staff.

Traditions
In 1960, the student council held a design contest for a school seal. The winning seal features pine cones and dogwood blossoms and the Latin phrase Cognito Vincit or Knowledge Conquers.

The Cary High School Alma Mater is sung to the tune of "Over the Summer Sea" or "La Donna e mobile" from the opera Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi. For more than fifty years, the school had the lyrics to the Alma Mater, but did not know the tune. Research finally revealed the tune and the song were performed by the Cary High Marching Band and Concert Chorus at a football game on October 22, 2021. Since then, the Alma Mater has been revised as a campus tradition. Its lyrics are: "Cary! here’s love to thee / And we will ever be / Filled with true loyalty / And with devotion. / Long we will ever claim / The blessings of thy name, / And may thy spirit reign / From crest to ocean. / Fond hearts entwining, / Cease all repining, / Near us is shining / Cary’s bright smile."

Another school tradition involved members of the rising senior class painting their class year on the water tower across Maynard Road from the school before the start of the school year. Fearing for the safety of students, the Town of Cary took over painting the water tower for the Class of 1986. Locals pitched in to pay the professional painters. The Town of Cary has continued this tradition for decades.

Cary Band
The Cary High School Band, established in 1921, is a corps-style marching band that has "gained local, national, and international acclaim". In addition to the marching band, Cary also has three concert bands, a jazz ensemble, an indoor percussion ensemble, an indoor marching wind ensemble, and a symphony. The current director of bands is Christopher R. Foster. The band is supported by the Cary Band Boosters, a nonprofit corporation. The Cary Band hosts Cary Band Day, an annual festival featuring marching bands from the North Carolina and Virginia area since 1958.

In 1959, the band marched in Charlotte's Shrine Bowl Parade, Raleigh's Christmas Parade, and Wilmington's Azalea Festival Parade under the direction of James Johnson. Under the leadership of director Jack White, the band was selected to represent North Carolina at a national band festival in Sioux City, Iowa in 1963. In 1965, the band marched in the Governor Dan K. Moore's inaugural parade under the leadership of director A. J. Moore.

In 1972, the band entered and won the Sun-Fun Festival at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, beating the national champs of Wilson High from Reading, Pennsylvania. Shortly afterward, the Cary High School band was listed in the top twenty nationally by Ruffles and Flourishes, a national band magazine. In January 1973 under the leadership of director Jimmy Burns, the Cary band was the first from North Carolina to march in the Tournament of Roses parade; the community raised $30,000 to send the band to Pasadena, California for the event. That year, the band also competed on a television show called Sounds of '73 that was emceed by Jerry Lewis and viewed twenty to thirty million people. The band also marched in the inaugural parades for Governor James Holshouser and for President Richard Nixon; they were one of ten bands at the latter event. On December 31, 1973 (televised January 1, 1974), the band marched in the King Orange Bowl Festival parade in Miami, Florida.

In August 1974, the Cary band performed at the Fêtes de Genève in Geneva, Switzerland—this honor is limited to only one band from the United States each year. The town celebrated Jimmy Burns Day, in honor of the band's director. In 1975, the band played at the Kentucky Derby, nation's first largest parade. On January 1, 1976, the Cary band was the first out-of-state band to march in the Cotton Bowl parade in Dallas, Texas. Later that year, the band attended the Pennsylvania Festival of the Colonies, winning the parade competition and coming in third overall.

In 1977, the band returned to the Tournament of Roses parade. In 1978, they participated in the week-long Festival of States in St. Petersburg, Florida. Under new director Don Stubblefield, they also marched in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City and were seen by eighty million television viewers. In March 1980, the band toured Romania for two weeks as Friendship Ambassadors. In 1982, the band played for President Ronald Reagan when he attended a campaign event at the Raleigh Civic Center. Also in 1982, they were in the Gimbel's Thanksgiving Day parade in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1984, the band again played in the Tournament of Roses parade, becoming the first non-California band to participate in the parade three times. The band competed at the Citrus Bowl Music Festival in 1987, placing third overall. In 1989, the band marched in the inaugural parade for Governor James G. Martin and the San Diego Holiday Bowl Music Festival.

The band won the parade event at the Citrus Bowl Music Festival in 1991. In 1993, the band marched in the inaugural parade for Governor James B. Hunt. In 1996 under the leadership of director Tony Robinson, the band received fourteen of fifteen first-place awards at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida, including the Grand Champions trophy for best in both parade and field show.

The band marched in the 2016 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade under the leadership of director Matt Minick.

Ambassadors Club
Ambassadors Club members "represent Cary High to new transfer students and to ninth graders as they transition into high school."

IDEA Club
The IDEA Club promotes student engagement and activism with government and politics. In March 2022, the club was involved in fighting censorship of books related to gender, sexuality, and race in the school's library. The IDEA Club also conducts voter registration drives.

NJROTC
In the fall of 1996, alumnus Del Richards donated $40,000 to start a Navy Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (NJROTC) program at the high school. NJROTC includes numerous competitive teams, including academics, athletics, drill, marksmanship, and physical fitness.

Performing Arts
Cary High School Performing Arts is an umbrella name for the school's choral group and drama club. The group typically produces a fall play and a spring choral concert. During the COVID-19 pandemic, students replaced live performances with videos that were edited by alumnus Michael Shorb and then streamed to audiences. Cary High School Performing Arts is supported by the nonprofit organization, Cary High School Performing Arts Booster Club.

Publications
The school's yearbook, YRAC, was first published in 1948; this was a revival of a prior publication that ceased during the Great Depression. In 1987, The Spirit student newspaper placed first at the American Scholastic Press Association Writing Contest under the leadership of advisor Janice Richardson. Other student-produced publications include The Page online student newspaper which was founded in 2018 by students Stephen Atkinson and Claire Perry.

Speech and Debate
The Speech and Debate team is a member of the Tarheel Forensics League (TFL) and competes statewide. Formed around 2010, the team finished second in a state-wide tournament its first year. The next year, the team also finished in second place at the state competition and qualified for the Nationals. Since then, the team has gone to the Nations seven of its first ten years. The team has also hosted local tournaments.

Mascot
Cary High School's mascot is the Imp. Albert H. Werner, football and baseball coach starting in 1935, was an influence in selecting the team mascot. Werner had played football at Duke University where the junior varsity teams were called the Blue Imps rather than the Blue Devils. Probably to balance college favorites, Cary's mascot was called the White Imp, incorporating the White Phantoms which were the mascot of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill at that time.

At first, just the football team was referred to as the White Imps, but the name eventually was used for all sports teams. After the 1971-72 school year, "white" was dropped to avoid racial connotations when the school was desegregated. The Imp is now green.

The current illustration of the Imp was designed by student Lee Mauney in the 1960s. Mauney later was the school's art teacher and athletic director. In January 2010, Cary premiered a costumed Imp mascot at the Cary vs. Apex High School basketball game. The mascot costume was purchased with donations and funds raised by student members of the Ambassador Club. The costume was produced by Stagecraft in Cincinnati, Ohio.

ESPN selected the Cary Imp as one of the best nicknames for a football team in the country in 2009. The Imp was also recognized as the fourth most unique high school nickname in the country by Sports Illustrated in 2010. In 2023, the Cary Imp was voted as the best high school mascot in the country in the Sports Illustrated High School Fan National annual competition.

School Colors
Historically, the school's colors were olive green and white. Today, Cary High School's colors are Kelly green and white.

Rivalries
Cary High School is a 4A-A high school and a member of the Tri-9 Athletic Conference. Cary's historic rival was Garner High School—The New and Observer noted it "was as intense a rivalry as there was". As the community grew and part of the school's students were sent to the new Apex High School, this became the biggest rival.

Sports teams
Cary High School has the following co-ed sports teams: cheerleading, junior varsity cheerleading, cross country, indoor track, track, and swim and dive. Sports teams for women include varsity basketball, junior varsity basketball, golf, gymnastics, lacrosse, junior varsity lacrosse, varsity soccer, junior varsity soccer, varsity softball, junior varsity softball, stunt, tennis, varsity volleyball, and junior varsity volleyball.

Men's sports teams include varsity baseball, junior varsity baseball, basketball, junior varsity basketball, varsity football, junior varsity football, golf, lacrosse, junior varsity lacrosse, varsity soccer, junior varsity soccer, tennis, and wrestling.

Football
Cary High School's first football team was organized in 1917. The coach was Tal Stafford who was previously a North Carolina A&M (now North Carolina State University) football star and All American. Probably because of World War I and the closing of the school during the influenza epidemic, the football team disbanded. It was reorganized in 1923. In 1935, Albert H. Werner, a former player at Duke University, became the football and coach.

In 1955 under coach John Ebby, the football team was undefeated, winning the Class A state championship. Players included fullback John Yarborough and quarterback Charles Maison who was later an All-American at Elon College.

On September 15, 1961, the football field on the new campus was dedicated as the Paul W. Cooper Athletic Field. In 1970, the Imps Booster Club announced it would raise $100,000 to expand Cooper Field to include locker rooms, restrooms, showers, and expanded seating. In 1973, a press box was added. In October of that year, A. E. Finley donated $15,000 toward the stadium's debt. As a result, the facility is renamed Cooper Field at A. E. Finley Stadium. In 1982, the press box was replaced for $29,500.

In 1976, Cary won the conference title with a record of 6-1 for coach Dave Riggs' final season. The team won the first round of the playoffs but then lost to undefeated Richmond County High School. This was Cary's beast season until 1995. In the 1995-96 year, the team was undefeated under coach Bill Devine. Winning the conference title, the team had only allowed 45 points during their regular season. Although winning their first playoff game, the team did not make it to the finals. However, in this season, Cary's football team had the second-longest winning streak in the school's history, tied the school records for wins, and set school records for most points scored in a season and most interceptions.

Wrestling
Under the leadership of coach Jerry Winterton from 1981 to 2010, the wrestling team won 19 state championships (11 state tournament and 8 dual teams state titles), 21 regional championships, and 28 consecutive conference tournament championships. In 1987, the team was ranked 25th in the nation of 8,600 programs by Amateur Wrestling News and was also featured on ESPN's Scholastic Sports America. In 1988, the team was ranked as high as 11th in the nation. In 1990, the wrestling team's consecutive match win streak record ended at 188 wins.

Including the playoffs, the Imps had a record of 621–16 under Winterton from 1981 to 2010. During this time he coached 44 individual state champions, as well as many All-Americans. Winterton was inducted into the North Carolina Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, the North Carolina High School Athletic Association's Hall of Fame in October 2014, and the National High School Hall of Fame (NFHS) in 2017.

How should I say "each of which", "by which", and the like, in spoken English (say English of teenagers and likewise)?
For example: "I saw huge birds each / some of which had a black beak". Should I say (in spoken English): "I saw huge birds that each / some of them had a black beak"?

How about "by which"? For example "the scientific tool by which we could discover what happened here three centuries ago"...

<IP_ADDRESS> (talk)

 * "I saw several birds, each of which had a black beak" is perfectly grammatical. ""The birds, that each one of them had a black beak" is not grammatical. "Each one of the birds had a black beak" is also fine. "A microscope is a tool by which we can see small details" is a fine sentence. So is "He saw the fine details in the feather by means of a microscope".
 * "by which" and "each of which" are both fine phrases in spoken English. Here is a youtube video that instructs on the English use of some similar phrases . Here's another short piece on "which" . SemanticMantis (talk) 17:14, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * You claim "...'by which' and 'each of which' are both fine phrases in spoken English". Are you sure? So, would a boy (e.g. 12 years old), say "Did you see the huge birds each / some of which had a black beak?" ??? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk)
 * Most 12-year-old persons I know would probably say Did you see the huge birds with the black beaks?. --   Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  18:40, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * How about "some of which"? would a boy (e.g. 12 years old), say "Did you see the huge birds some of which had a black beak?" ??? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:48, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * No native speaker, of any age, would ever say that, imo. It sounds very contrived and unnatural.  It also betrays confused thinking.  The main point of the question seems to be whether the other person saw the huge birds.  That some of those birds had black beaks seems to be secondary material that really belongs somewhere outside that question.  This is mainly because, if the other did not see the huge birds at all, they would not know whether any of them had black beaks or not, so they could not truthfully answer the question as posed.  How about this: Did you see those huge birds?  Did you notice that some of them had black beaks?  --   Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  21:10, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

 * I'm sure that I've used those phrases, and I'm sure that I've heard them spoken. I'm sure that they can be used in speech in a grammatically correct way. I'm a native speaker, and I've heard many varieties of English. Not everyone speaks the same. The speech that people use depends on context. We use different registers for different occasions. I might be biased in terms of what I think is "normal" because I spend a lot of time speaking and listening in scientific and academic contexts. I suppose I would be a little surprised to hear "each of which" used correctly by a 12 year old at the play ground, but it wouldn't be that strange. I thought the question was more about correct grammar, so I replied as such. I see you've clarified your title now, so others can help you come up with alternative phrasings that might be more common among young speakers. For a similar example to what I was getting at: some people use "heretofore " and "henceforth " in spoken English, while many people do not. They are more commonly used in writing than in speaking. I'm sure those words might cause some confusion in some listeners, but they are still valid English words that are used (by some) in speech. SemanticMantis (talk) 19:51, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * "I suppose I would be a little surprised to hear 'each of which' used correctly by a 12 year old at the play ground". Yes, that's why I asked about alternative phrasings.
 * "Others can help you come up with alternative phrasings that might be more common among young speakers". I still wonder how such a phrasing might look like... <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:48, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * What is it that you need them to say? Wouldn't "the black-beaked huge birds" sound more natural in a 12 year old's speech, or "the huge birds with a black beak"? Akseli9 (talk) 21:12, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * See Marco Polo's response (I agree with him). <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:12, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Do you mean "the black-beaked birds" or "only the black-beaked birds" or "just the black-beaked birds"? Would that be considered regular English, spoken English, or simply strange wording? Thanks. Akseli9 (talk) 17:21, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * "Huge birds with black beaks" is what I'd expect to come out of the mouth of a child. "Black-beaked birds" is a higher-register construction that would be slightly less likely for a child, but still perfectly acceptable. Marco polo (talk) 21:32, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, but how about "some of which"? How would that be expressed by a child (in one sentence)? for example, "I see many birds, some of which have black beaks". <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:15, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe "I see a lot of birds. Some of 'em have black beaks."  or with the sentences connected by "and".
 * Also, many people say and even write things like "I see a lot of birds, which some of them have black beaks." Here's an example from COCA, brackets mine. " But the problem when you talk to economists is that in 2001, it didn't do anything. What really mattered was the long-term -- once the long-term tax cuts kicked in, which some of them were also passed in 2001, more in 2003 -- once those kicked in, and cuts an[d] capital gains an[d] dividend cut and personal income cuts, that helped turn around the economy by 2003." —JerryFriedman  (Talk) 22:57, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I saw huge birds and some of them had got black beaks. I saw (or I seen) a load of black birds and they'd got black beaks (implies they all had). There were great big birds (or there was great big birds) and their beaks were black. There was these loads of enormous birds that all had got these really black beaks. All British English. Itsmejudith (talk) 20:48, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * How about:
 * "Have you seen the chair some of whose legs are broken"?
 * "Have you seen the red hammer by which I fixed the chair you had broken"?
 * <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:23, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Plurals
What is the plural of:
 * ángelos -
 * angelus – is it angeluses?
 * Jinn - ✅

(Russell.mo (talk) 19:50, 3 February 2015 (UTC))

 * The plural of "angelus" is "angelus" (in French,, I don't think that's an English word, we'd just say "angel" or "angels"). Jinn is the plural, the singular is jinni or djinni. The more common spelling in American English is Genie (note the redirect), with the plural "genies" or (rarely) "genii" . Wiktionary is your friend for this type of question. SemanticMantis (talk) 19:58, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I didn't know, thank you -- (Russell.mo (talk) 09:08, 4 February 2015 (UTC))

 * You need to specify in what language at least. The word ángelos is already the plural of ángel in Spanish. And if angelus is Larin, the plural would be angeli, assuming you want the nominative case. μηδείς (talk) 23:06, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * In that case, wouldn't the plural be mas ángelos? -- Jayron 32 00:49, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The plural of ángel is ángeles. I totally agree that Russell.mo has to say what language he's talking about. —JerryFriedman  (Talk) 15:31, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Angelus is an English word. I don't think the plural is used much, though.  I'd be more likely to say "Angelus services" or something—not that I'm a Roman Catholic or High Church Anglican, so you probably shouldn't listen to me. —JerryFriedman  (Talk) 23:07, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Issue is, how do I differentiate a 'human messenger' and a 'supernatural being'? The article Angel say's it (somehow), but without any plurals... Any suggestions? -- (Russell.mo (talk) 09:08, 4 February 2015 (UTC))
 * Peeps I'm using the singular from angelus page that is related to the Angel article's information ... If this is wrong then let me know. Thank you all. -- (Russell.mo (talk) 14:16, 4 February 2015 (UTC))
 * I'm making my own ones guys, like angeloses and angeluses. I'm can't really put my finger on what to use... Help me if you guys can think of something -- (Russell.mo (talk) 15:24, 4 February 2015 (UTC))
 * Maybe if you give an example of a sentence you want to use "angeloses" or "angeluses" in. —JerryFriedman (Talk) 15:31, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * "Guardian angels (angeloses) like Jesus, Mohammad, Moses were thought to have angeluses in them"??? -- (Russell.mo (talk) 22:01, 4 February 2015 (UTC))
 * Trouble is, you're using Latin words from the Septuagint to explain concepts in an otherwise English sentence. Angelos is not an English word at all; and, while angelus is recognised, its primary meaning is a reference to a devotional text that happens to start with that word in its Latin version.  Why not just use words like "messenger" and "divine being" rather than messing around with abstruse words that, rather than clarifying what you're trying to get across, will probably serve to have the opposite effect.  --   Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  22:25, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Peter Angelos and his family would be Angeloses. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 01:43, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I've actually been to the Angeloses's on a few occasions. μηδείς (talk) 18:08, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * All of the 'angel-' words are derived from the Greek, ἄγγελος, angelos, which means 'messenger' and has the nominative plural ἄγγελοι, angeloi. GoldenRing (talk) 01:10, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello, sorry for delaying in replying, my dongle/modem troubled me a bit, ran out of 'kbs'... Apologies.
 * Anyways,
 * Thanks . I must say the plural does not sound nice, the singular does...
 * I don’t know, the word(s) seems to provide the meanings of an angel messenger, spiritual angelic one (alive one)...figuratively when I use it. And sounds better (I think). If you suggest not using it then it is confusing... The words you stated, I have to capatalise the first letter if I state God... I still need to come to conclusion with the plurals. I guess I have to choose the nominative word(s) but none of them sound nice... -- (Russell.mo (talk) 19:38, 6 February 2015 (UTC))
 * "Angelus" is Angel when he's happy. You wouldn't like him when he's happy. --Trovatore (talk) 19:54, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Public Pupil Pizza Project

 * Note: The development of this concept has moved to the Effective Education Project. This page is being left for archive purposes.

Introduction
Nearly everyone knows that it is imperative that students in today’s schools learn knowledge and skills to help them in the modern information based economy. Yet most people also recognize that our schools are not optimally fulfilling this need, and that there is a gap between the theoretical academics primarily taught in the U.S. School systems and the needs of the marketplace. While the Public Pupil Pizza Project has a funny name, it is quite serious in being a beginning in bridging this gap.

Too often there is an argument about whether we should teach academics or teach vocational skills. This argument is not needed, as this project will demonstrate both can be taught and both can improve the learning in each area.

The Public Pupil Pizza Project (or Pizza Project for short) is a series of curriculums that teach students traditional academics such as English, Math, and Public Speaking while at the same time teaching students how they can use these in the real world, and simultaneously learn technology tools to accomplish this need.

It is our hope that this project will spawn other projects that follow similar methodologies to enhance learning overall. We chose "pizza" as our subject because it is a topic that is not only understood by most Americans, but is also a food eaten worldwide, and eating is one of the most fundamental of human needs. Further, Pizza, along with some other foods, such as ice cream, lend them selves to teaching certain geometry topics such as the area of a circle for pizzas, or the volume of a sphere and cone for ice cream.

Goals
This project has several goals it would like to accomplish:

 * Teach Traditional Academics to Recognized Standards
 * Teach Real World Skills that give students a competitive advantage in the marketplace
 * Use True Real World Examples as much as possible (changing names, etc for privacy)
 * Move students beyond simply repeating what is in the curriculum to being able to create their own ideas
 * Be accessible to all American and World Wide Teachers and Students
 * Be adopted by many teachers and schools throughout the U.S. and World.

Strategies
In order to accomplish the goals of this project the following strategies will be used:

 * Use Wikiversity as a collaborative ground to create the curriculums
 * Attempt to stay as vendor neutral as possible and non-comercial
 * Have the curriculums and information available through a free license so any school may use it
 * Get support from notable people in education, politics, and business to promote the curriculums
 * Get support from public media, such as PBS to support and promote the curriculums
 * Utilize the Systems And Tools Educational Model to provide a framework for creating curriculums

Structure
The different curriculum will be written as a story that follows the life of a pizza restaurant. The curriculum will demonstrate how the academics can be applied to real world situations, and further why the academics are important. To also help demonstrate this process, a competitor will be shown through the different stories, and the competitor will misapply the academics, and the consequences to the competitors business will be shown. This way students can learn both through seeing success, and seeing the potential failure. The students will be creating their own business throughout each curriculum, and applying what they learn to their own ideas.

Specific Curriculums
The following are the specific projects for learning:
 * /Pre-Algebra and Spreadsheets/
 * /Processes and Analysis with Databases/
 * /English and Word Processing/
 * /Public Speaking and Presentations/
 * /Publicity and Desktop Publishing/

Hjalmar Frisk

Hjalmar Frisk (4 August 1900, in Gothenburg – 1 August 1984, in Gothenburg) was a Swedish linguist and etymologist in Indo-European studies. He was also rector of the University of Göteborg from 1951 to 1966.

Early on, he became interested in Indo-European studies. Thus, as early as 1927, he published a translation of the historical account The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, written in Greek under the title Περίπλους τῆς Ἐρυθρᾶς θαλάσσης.

His most noted work was the three-volume Griechisches etymologisches Wörterbuch (Greek Etymological Dictionary) written between 1954 and 1972 and published in Heidelberg, Germany.

In 1968, he became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

My focus is on "Political Corruption"

New - March 21, 2006 - I have been working 23 months in Iraq as a US adviser to the Iraqi Commission on Public Integrity (CPI). It is the new anti-corruption agency set up to model the very successful Hong Kong anti-corruption commission. This type of agency is being set up more and more in countries with corruption problems. My primary professional experience was 20 years of corporate internal audit work as a Certified Internal Auditor and Internal Audit Manager or Director.

From January, 2004 to March, 2006 I wrote an internal anti-corruption newsletter for coalition advisors in Iraq based upon Google searches and making editorial comments. I also established and trained a group of 10 internal auditors to support anti-corruption investigations. As a consequence, I learned about various worldwide agencies established to fight corruption and many techniques. This is possible because on the internet, online newspapers exist with english versions of articles that discuss local anti-corruption issues and efforts. One that always pops up is KPK, the anti-corruption commission in Indonesia. However, doing a google search on a simple term like "Haiti Corruption" will turn up not only political accusations, but articles that are great case histories of anti-corruption investigations. For instance, there are several dedicated just to the UN's Oil for Food Scandal.

My observation is that there are many funded programs by foreign aid organizations, NGO's (non-governmental organizations), and trusts, but they focus on "soft" external issues like giving classes to journalists on investigation, or providing seminars and posters to get the public to resist corruption. However, as a working professional, it seems these organizations avoid much spending on instructing and getting government agencies to improve INTERNAL systems to prevent corruption. For instance, in Iraq, they still use a very old, communist based accounting system that lacks many internationally recognized "internal control" procedures that would reduce the ability for corruption to take place. Not one coalition partner or NGO has taken steps to get the Iraqi government to legislate changes to implement internationally accepted accounting systems. As a consequence, the World Bank, the IMF, the UN and other large lenders and funders of new democracies refuse to spend or loan funds to the Iraqis for water projects, business development, etc. We have hordes of attorneys working on legal changes, but none focusing on improvement of the internal accounting systems and management controls as a condition for foreign aid.

Now that I am leaving Iraq, I hope to post more information here in the Political Corruption section. VJochim Vjochim 13:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

OPS 9794

OPS 9794, also known as Navstar 8, GPS I-8 and GPS SVN-8, was an American navigation satellite launched in 1983 as part of the Global Positioning System development program. It was the eighth of eleven Block I GPS satellites to be launched.

Background
Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense to provide all-weather round-the-clock navigation capabilities for military ground, sea, and air forces. Since its implementation, GPS has also become an integral asset in numerous civilian applications and industries around the globe, including recreational used (e.g., boating, aircraft, hiking), corporate vehicle fleet tracking, and surveying. GPS employs 24 spacecraft in 20,200 km circular orbits inclined at 55°. These vehicles are placed in 6 orbit planes with four operational satellites in each plane.

Spacecraft
The first eleven spacecraft (GPS Block 1) were used to demonstrate the feasibility of the GPS system. They were 3-axis stabilized, nadir pointing using reaction wheels. Dual solar arrays supplied over 400 watts. They had S-band communications for control and telemetry and Ultra high frequency (UHF) cross-link between spacecraft. They were manufactured by Rockwell Space Systems, were 5.3 meters across with solar panels deployed, and had a design life expectancy of 5 years. Unlike the later operational satellites, GPS Block 1 spacecraft were inclined at 63°.

Launch
OPS 9794 was launched at 10:21 UTC on 14 July 1983, atop an Atlas E launch vehicle with an SGS-2 upper stage. The Atlas used had the serial number 75E, and was originally built as an Atlas E. The launch took place from Space Launch Complex 3W at Vandenberg Air Force Base, and placed OPS 9794 into a transfer orbit. The satellite raised itself into medium Earth orbit using a Star-27 apogee motor.

Mission
By 10 August 1983, OPS 9794 had been raised to an orbit with a perigee of 19917 km, an apogee of 20446 km, a period of 718.00 minutes, and 62.80° of inclination to the equator. The satellite had a design life of 5 years and a mass of 758 kg. It broadcast the PRN 11 signal in the GPS demonstration constellation, and was retired from service on 4 May 1993.

Evan Daugherty

Evan Daugherty (born 1981) is an American screenwriter. He wrote the films Killing Season, Snow White and the Huntsman and the film adaptation of Divergent.

Career
Daugherty's first screenplay was Shrapnel. It won first place in the 2008 Script Pipeline contest and was featured in the 2008 Black List, for screenplays not yet made into films

Daugherty also wrote, directed, and edited the short film Rusty Forkblade, which won the 2007 Bronze Medal for Excellence at the Park City Film Music Festival. Warner Bros. announced in 2009 that John Stevenson, director of Kung Fu Panda, was working on a new He-Man film, Grayskull, with scripting duties handed to Daugherty.

Daugherty's original screenplay, Snow White and the Huntsman was sold to Universal Pictures for $3.2 million. It was later altered by John Lee Hancock and Hossein Amini. Daugherty's idea for Snow White and the Huntsman came from a homework assignment by his professor at New York University to "take a new spin on a classic fairytale". According to the Writer's Guild, he contributed 50%-60% of the screenplay, with Hancock and Amini each contributing 20%-25%.

Daugherty performed rewrites on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In 2015 the film was nominated for five Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Screenplay.

Daughtery was attached to a third G.I. Joe film for Paramount Pictures. He was also set to write and executive produce Esmeralda for ABC, based on The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, though no new details have since emerged. He contributed material to the 2018 reboot of Tomb Raider.

Ancient Greek/Preface

At one time, all well-educated men (and they were almost always men) were expected to have at least a passing familiarity with Classical Greek. That age has passed, for better or worse, but many of the reasons that motivated the study of Greek are still forceful. Indeed, some of them are so common now as to seem trite and obvious: The people who used this language were the founders of Western civilization. They created bodies of thought that have profoundly affected the course of both intellectual and political history and are still influential to this day. They created and defined many of the forms that art continues to take. They laid the foundation for geometry, and invented the scientific method. To fully understand almost any area of human endeavour requires wrestling with the ancient Greeks.

Now one can do this by reading translations. Certainly innumerable Greek texts, including all the "important" ones, have been translated into all the major languages. But we hardly need to review the problems of translation here. It is a second-best alternative at any time, and in the case of a language two thousand years old that arose in a culture very different from our own, it sometimes seems an astonishing feat that we manage to render anything at all. It is perhaps only due to the inestimable influence of the Greeks' language and thought on our own that we manage it so well.

But by virtue of the fact that you are reading this, it's clear that you're considering an attempt at overcoming these obstacles by going directly through them, by studying Classical Greek. You may be wondering, though, is it for you?

Of course, there's no single answer to this question. If Greek is not your first foreign language, it should not present any shockingly new difficulties. It is a bit more complex in some ways than, say, Spanish or German - for example, it has nearly twenty forms of the definite article - but the principles are the same. There are verbs that must be conjugated, nouns that must be declined, and so on. The tremendous practice you gained in learning your other foreign language(s) will serve you very well in learning Greek. And as a bonus, you'll never have to worry about learning to understand native speakers: There are none!

If Greek will be your first foreign language, there are again advantages and disadvantages. Certainly the first few lessons may not be as easy as they would if you were learning, say, Spanish. And you're unlikely to find many other speakers among your friends, as you might with a modern language. But English has derived many words from Greek, and few of the principles of grammar are wildly different. Besides, if you don't know anyone else who reads Greek, you'll look all the more impressive by knowing how!

Before you begin, a word on prerequisites. This course assumes no previous foreign language knowledge. As mentioned above, learning a third or fourth language is usually easier than learning a second, but all this course presumes is English fluency.

We will try to avoid rote memorization where possible, but the fact is that memorization is impossible to avoid completely. Rules of grammar, of accent, even the alphabet itself must simply be memorized. This is not as difficult as many people seem to think, however, and the text will try to provide helps where possible.

The Voynich Manuscript/John Stojko

Use the above given alphabet to read the whole VMs. If for any reason it is decided to reverse the transliteration than remove the vowels and replace the consonants with VMs alphabet given in table above. Although if you will be more comfortable to work with English alphabet you can replace Ukrainian consonants with English using the above given alphabet table. Or you can replace my transliteration in Ukrainian with English alphabet. To do that use alphabet table above for consonant and for vowels and correct phonetic value of the words use table in my Home Page http://home.att.net/~oko/home.htm To obtain meaning of Ukrainian words in English use Ukrainian – English dictionary. Except for names you will find meaning for all the words used in VMs. Bellow is given translation of page 18R.

18R in Ukrainian ф\ 1. Що Око робе заре косе? Хиба Орів хапа. Був, бору і суть повіли. Око боре в злі. Попита се. Ви пита віру Кагалу?

2.  Вість одновили і світу повіли. Пише то пишу. Ви те побили Око божиє косе.Повіло Око Бозйа.

3.  У свьату по вірі повір і повіта нашу віру і панусьу. Свьаті повіли косо. Се што поборе зло? 4. По вірі поставе Орі і увітеа онову Ора. Се то повіли ви та Бозя.

5. Што повірі повіру у пусті божиї. Пусто вола половили і повезли.

6. Се пишу то повір. Хиба заре се што вола попустиш. Око боре, Ока бере і Око було.

7. В одновір одне божиє. Пошто се повіла? Око вола, вала косо, хвали Око божиє.

8. Свьата по вірі пита волі. Вольа в Коси. Ви то були коси а Око береш.

9.  Повіли і попусту були. Ви то одні були і пише та булака.

10. Око боре одну віру. Се ви то повіли? Волі се Око божиє?

11. Де в Степу бажає. Пові та пиши. Попита вольу по вірі Коса.

12. Усі по базару поставили. Око божиє і Свьата пише пусте се.

13. Віру одну бажайе пустовіри. Пусті були ви та буле у Око бере.

14. Се Понті пиши та побажай.

18R in English 1. What slanted Oko is doing now? Perhaps Ora’s people you are snatching. I was, I am fighting and told the truth. Oko you are fighting mischievously (evil manner). Ask this. Are you asking religion for your clan?

2. We renewed the information (news) and told to the world. He wrote and I am writing. You broke this slanted eye of God. Oko Bozia (Baby God) answered.

3. In believe she is holy and you should believe and welcome our religion and Miss. The holy told in slanted way. Is that the evil that will be victorious?

4. In religion we decide for Ora and Ora will welcome the renovation. What a news you and Bozia told.

5. That in religion I will believe in god’s emptiness. Empty (vain) is your calling, we caught (snatched) and carted away.

6. What I am writing you should believe. Perhaps now that what you are calling you will relinquish, Oko is fighting, Oko is victorious and Oko was.

7. In one religion only one is gods. For what reason Kosa (slant) is telling us? Oko is calling slanted, praise the God’s Oko.

8. In believe her holiness is asking for freedom. Kosa has the freedom. You were slants and now you are taking Oko.

9. You are saying but you were idlers. You were alone but you are writing and talking.

10. Oko is fighting for one religion. You told this. Do you won’t this God’s Oko?

11. Where do you wont in Steppe? Tell and write. Kosa should ask for freedom in religion.

12. Every one was vain in the marked place. God’s Oko and (she) holy one is writing this emptiness.

13. Vain believers are wishing one religion. You are vain therefore you are taking Oko that was.

14. Write this to Pontia and wish him.

Now please read the meaning of the VMs in English or if you speak Ukrainian in Ukrainian. After reading you will and you should make conclusion what is this all about. I do not know what your conclusion will be but I believe that I should explain my understanding of the VMs text. Some one in authority received letter and he reads and dictates to his scribe what answer he should write. From time to time he gives phrases from his letter that provoked the other side response and than give phrase what he desired in the answer. For example: I will take line 1. 1. In his letter he wrote “What slanted Oko is doing now?” And than gives his answer, “Perhaps Ora’s people you are snatching”. He received the following answer, “I was, I am fighting and I told the truth”. Now he wants the scribe to write in this answer “Oko you are fighting mischievously (in evil manner). And than he order the scribe “Ask this” and give the phrase “Are you asking religion for your clan?”

After reading the letter and stating to the scribe what he want to be included in the answer, he gives the following order. See line 14. “Write this to Pontia and wish him”

From the other pages in VMs where is stated that Pontia was Median King or general that come with his army to help Miss Mania Koza and her son Sus to fight Ora’s army. When the VMs were written is not known. But it is good indication that VMs was written at the time when Media was strong and the King of Media or general Pontia was known for his glory in history. The Black Sea was named after him. The Greek to the present time call Black Sea Pontus. I doubt that the original notes of the scribe survived in its original form. It seems that the original notes were rewritten. If the VMs were original it would be written by the same hand writing. Although I am not hand writing expert however, I do recognize more than one hand writing. Who and when the VMs was rewritten, probably we will never know. But it can be stated that, at that time it was known what it contain. Also they knew the alphabet and language in which the VMs were written.

Whether the original was in poor shape or the political time dictated. That the writing should be preserved for the future. It was rewritten and the pictures were added for deceptions. That I do know. Many hours I spent trying to decipher to decipher looking for name or clue in the pictures. When I succeeded deciphering the alphabet and started to read than I realized that the writing has nothing to do with the pictures. Yes, it is ingenious deception to mask true contents in VMs.

Introduction to Philosophical Logic/Prolegomena

What is logic?
Logic is the study of the consistency of beliefs. For beliefs to be consistent it must be possible for them to obtain at the same time. For example, it is illogical to believe that the sky is completely blue and that the sky is completely red because the sky being entirely blue is inconsistent with its being entirely red, i.e. it is not possible for the sky to be entirely red at the same time as its being entirely blue.

Logic is also a study of "logical consequence", i.e. what follows by necessity from something else. By studying inconsistency of beliefs, philosophers are able to study the validity of arguments, as will be shown later. Methods of finding whether certain arguments are valid is described later.

The symbolisation of these sentences, known as formalisation, simplifies and quickens this process. It also enables the philosopher to clarify ideas using an unambiguous language in which to represent thoughts. The sophistication of the language used enables greater insights into the significance of these thoughts (and a cursory analysis of more logical languages is described in Other Logics.

Aims of this book
This book aims to give the reader a basic understanding of logic and its relationship with philosophy, rather than a more mathematical approach to advanced logic. It is designed to provide the reader with a grasp of terms such as "valid", "consistency", "entailment", which often arise in philosophy, to help the reader comprehend the philosophical issues that use them. Philosophical debates of certain issues are not developed here, and are at most briefly mentioned. Certain assumptions are made; the reader is advised to consider them.

The final part of this book (Other Logics) is a development and extension of the principles described herein. It is designed to interest rather than fully inform the reader of these matters.

Billingsgate Island

Billingsgate Island, also sometimes known as Bellingsgate Island, was an island off Cape Cod in Massachusetts in the United States. Originally settled as a fishing and whaling community as part of the town of Eastham, Massachusetts, Billingsgate Island was for a long time the site of a lighthouse used as a navigational aid in Cape Cod Bay. Local historians sometimes call it the Atlantis of Cape Cod.

The area, which is just south of Great Island at the mouth of Wellfleet Harbor, is now known as Billingsgate Shoal and is visible from mainland Wellfleet at Jeremy Point at low tide. When exposed it is used as a picnic and shellfishing spot; access is by boat. The shoal is frequented by birds, seals, and anglers.

History
Early European settlers found an abundance of fish in Wellfleet Harbor. They named the area around the harbor Billingsgate after the Billingsgate Fish Market in London. At that time (the 17th century), Billingsgate Island covered an area of 60 acre. Before that time it was a "point" or promontory, known as Billingsgate Point, attached to the northern landmass. This point was noted by the Mayflower settlers in Mourt's Relation. Before the end of the 18th century a ditch was dug between the point and the northern landmass and with the action of tidal erosion separated it into its own island.

The Punonakanit people, members of the Wampanoag Federation, lived in the area and coexisted peacefully with European settlers. Their population greatly reduced by smallpox, the Punonakanits seem to have died out in the 19th century.

At its height in the early 19th century there were over thirty homes on Billingsgate Island; later it even had its own baseball team. The first lighthouse was built in 1822. After an 1855 storm divided the island in half, a second lighthouse was built on higher ground in 1858. The new structure was made of brick with a granite foundation; the foundation stones and a scattering of bricks can still be found on the shoal.

The island continued to erode away with heavy flooding of the tower itself in 1873, 1875, and 1882. The lighthouse keeper died in the flooding of 1875. More than 1000 feet of sea wall was built in 1888 to protect the lighthouse, but erosion continued at a fast pace. Early in the 20th century the last families moved off Billingsgate, leaving only the lighthouse keeper and a man who guarded the shellfish beds. Many of the houses on the island were floated across the harbor to Wellfleet on rafts to prevent their loss. (Some are still standing and are known locally as Billingsgate cottages.) The 1858 lighthouse was abandoned in 1915 and destroyed by a storm in December of the same year. The last light tower was torn down in 1922.

By the late 1930s or early '40s the island had been torn apart by coastal erosion. What remains is a sand bar south of the end of Jeremy Point in Wellfleet, exposed only at low tide and littered with large granite blocks, a few bricks, and many shells. The lighthouse is shown on a historical navigation chart dated 1921, but is not shown on a chart dated 1933.

In popular culture
The Disappearing Island (2000), a children's book by Corinne Demas, describes a visit to Billingsgate at low tide by a little girl and her grandmother.

A number of historical characters in the novel Cape Cod (1991) by William Martin lived on Billingsgate during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.

In Billingsgate Shoal (1982), a suspense novel by Rick Boyer, a fishing boat runs aground at Billingsgate and a diver sent to investigate dies mysteriously. Billingsgate Shoal is the first book in Boyer's Doc Adams series; it won an Edgar Award in 1983.

Figure Away (1937), a mystery by Phoebe Atwood Taylor, is set in the town of Billingsgate on Cape Cod in 1937. The author mentions the island "had for many years rested beneath the waves of Cape Cod Bay" in the disclaimer on the copyright page.

 * Keep A WP:BEFORE search shows subject is clearly notable. A news search shows 160 articles, one for his alter-ago "Puddles the clown" brings back 300 results. Many of those "brief" mentions are just short articles, it's not as though the subject is only briefly mentioned, thus is passes WP:SUSTAINED and WP:TRIVIAL. In fact, all the references on the page are actually pretty good, can't see why this article would be deleted. S EMMENDINGER  ( talk ) 21:42, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

 * I would like to add that Section D, #3 of WP:BEFORE clearly explains why this AfD is erroneous. It states that if sources are found, it's a clear indication that the subject meets GNG and the article should not be nominated for deletion. Section #2 shows that if no sources are found, an AfD is ok, but that's not the case. As discussed above (and is clear to anyone reading this AfD by clicking on the "news" links above) this subject has hundreds of sources. So, the next step according to policy is that, "the article is not a proper basis for a nomination....Instead, you should consider citing the sources." S EMMENDINGER  ( talk ) 02:23, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete As the nominator I !vote to delete the article because it fails WP:GNG. As I stated in the opening, many of the references are just passing mentions. They are brief and do not contain significant coverage in WP reliable sources.WP:RS.  At least three of the passing and brief mention sources contain only 50, 60, or 70 words. The 1st reference in the article is a list type book that contains 100 places to go in the ATL area. Each one of the 100 are around 30- 50 words. So the article subject is just 1% of the 100 places. So his reference is only a brief passing mention of 30-50 words in a whole book that is 1 of 99 others. So the article fails WP:GNG When one carefully examines the references quite carefully, one will also find that some of the references point to unreliable websites. See: WP:RS again if you must. Lacypaperclip (talk) 00:46, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The explanation of WP:GNG uses this good example: ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." The majority of the articles listed meet this requirement. Most of the articles are 100% about Mike Geier and do not focus on anything else. The book in question is named "100 things to do in Atlanta", the sheer fact that this one individual made that list is actually an argument for notability and not against. A trivial mention is also explained in that GNG article as, "Martin Walker's statement, in a newspaper article about Bill Clinton, that 'In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice' is plainly a trivial mention of that band." So in this case, using that sentence is a good reference for Bill Clinton's Wikipedia page, but it is not enough to establish GNG for the band "Three Blind Mice". Understanding this, it's very apparent that the rest of the sources on the page Mike Geier are not trivial mentions. I will not disagree that many of them are short mentions, but there are no Wikipedia rules that disallow short articles. If 100% of the short article is about the individual, it's not a trivial mention, it's an absolute mention. These short sources are almost always 100% about the individual. As such, those sources stand strong. S EMMENDINGER </b> (<b style="color:#F80"> talk </b>) 02:14, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Talk:XLR-11

Renaming article to 5F-UR-144?
This chemical is rarely referred to as "XLR-11" by both users and researchers; according to Google 5F-UR-144 is used 8-10x more often in searches than XLR-11 (which also is the name of a motor, IIRC). I suspect the ratio would be much higher if XLR-11's numbers weren't boosted by the fact it shares its name with an established product talked about by car enthusiasts.

Perhaps it is better if this article was renamed to 5F-UR-144; there is no ambiguity of its meaning, unlike XLR-11.

Boys Over Flowers Season 2

Boys Over Flowers Season 2, known in Japan as Hana Nochi Hare: HanaDan Next Season (花のち晴れ〜花男 Next Season〜), is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoko Kamio. It is a sequel to Kamio's Boys Over Flowers, The story takes place at Eitoku Academy, two years after the members of the F4 have graduated, with all new characters.

The manga began serialization with its first three chapters in Shueisha's digital online magazine Shōnen Jump+ from February 2015 to December 2019 with its chapters collected into fifteen tankōbon. In North America the manga is licensed by Viz Media.

Plot
Years after the F4 have graduated, Eitoku Academy has not been the same. Due to the recession, there has been a decline in enrollment.

A new clique called the Correct 5 now rules the school and has been targeting students whose families have not donated by making them leave school. The leader of the Correct 5, Haruto Kakuragi, is the most popular boy at Eitoku Academy. However, he secretly buys gimmicky self-help items to become strong. Oto Edogawa is a female student at Eitoku who pretends to be rich in order to fit in when in reality, she is impoverished. She works part-time at a convenience store, when one night she sees Haruto Kakuragi coming into the store picking up the items he had purchased. Both are shocked to see each other.

I have tried to add a little to this page, and have also removed the section with "at home" and replaced it with the mare part. I believe that, considering the somewhat archaic use of the locative to say the same, as well as the irregular nature of the word domo, it is probably best not to use the word. Sorry if I've messed up the lesson here! -Asv, March 29th

This has been a great course so far, but I think that this lesson needs a lot of work. There's a whole lot of information that gets dumped on the learner. I think it could be broken up into several different lessons. It also needs a lot more excercises at the end (the whole course could benefit from more excercises, but this lesson really needs it). Finally, the vocative case has been added to the declension charts, but there has been no teaching about it. Thank you for putting your time and effort into this project. :)

OK. I am the primary maintainer for this page. I am annoyed that my good explanation of the ablative, one that I've used and applied many times has been summarily removed. Be curteous, and explain yourself on the talk page.

In preparation for finals, I have made a very basic change: put nominative and genitive next to one another.

My textbook and many other students use the order in the declension tables: (for nouns): nom-gen.-dat.-acc.-abl.

If we are using a different order, we should justify it--and I'm not saying there aren't justifications.

I think the ordering of the cases should be switched to the conventional styled used in most books and webpages. The current presentation is a bit confusing. --<IP_ADDRESS> 22:20, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

order of cases
While the Nom-Gen-Dat-Acc-Abl is the most common order for cases, it is probably the least natural or logical.

Nom and Acc should be next to each other, as should Dat and Abl, because of the similarities in the declensions in those cases. Where to put Gen is less obvious, but I prefer after Acc (probably due to my english language bias). GCSE latin is one system which uses this order.

In fact, the other way annoys me so much, I think I'll fix it now, since the page is inconsistent as it currently stands. (sharkey)

Vocabulary?
How are we supposed to know what we are asked to translate? I mean, there's pronouns in these, and we didn't even cover them yet! What are we supposed to do, guess?

(10th grade)

Good work so far, but I think this lesson needs a lot of work. Firstly, the opening explanation of the ablative case is cryptic and incomprehensible. There has also been no mention of anything Greek until this point. In the following examples, there is also an utter lack of actual examples in Latin. The vocabulary used is also unexplained (ad, agris, campus). The "excercize" (How would you translate: I form the picture by means of weaving...) also gives no explanation and no answer whatsoever; it's not a very good way to clarify things.

For the pronouns I, you, he, she, it, we, and they, they are not needed for a verb of that pronoun's specific person has that pronoun included automaticly in translation.

I.E. eum exanimaverunt They weakened him.(eum)

This lesson moves to fast
For people who are just now starting Latin, this lesson moves to fast. It also poorly defines the Abl. case. There is also a lack of vocabulary needed to complete the exersices. Can someone fix this?
