format: downloadable video
 * if you do not like the late date, change + subscribe below :-)

Content:
 * 1) Communicate What is Wikiversity? / Mission
 * 2) Feature examples of original (only possible on) Wikiversity content
 * 3) Collaborative nature: Appealling to potential learners. Illustration of how the Wikiversity community functions to produce learning resources and activities.

Project news

 * 23 August, 2006 - Project founded!
 * 3 January, 2007 - proposed name for the video: "Wikiversity: Education in the new millennium"
 * 30 December, 2007 - the goal to create a video until this date was not achieved
 * 21 August 2008 - new time frame for movie proposed: 15th August 2009 (the next Wikiversity Day)
 * 23 August 2008 - contacted users interested in creating music/soundtrack: see here
 * 24 August 2008
 * introducing a motivational slogan for the preparations on the Wikiversity movie: "Coming soon to a wiki theater near you !" (credits to User:Darklama)
 * searching for additional participants (announcing at several places)
 * 25 March 2010 - marketing on Wikiversity Day/2010

Learning materials and learning projects
Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.

Appetizer
These are not the real, final videos - just use them for your imagination what it could look like:
 * Wikiversity shorts - participants create short (15 to 60 seconds) promotional videos for Wikiversity
 * /already existing movies about Wikiversity (for reusage or generating ideas ?)

Now the details
Partially developed:
 * /Tasks
 * /Script - participants create the script for the movie
 * /Interviews - participants film interviews with students at real universities after telling them about Wikiversity (giving a handout perhaps) and inform them it is free. Shock, disbelief, scepticism will ensue, but the reactions ought to be interesting. These could be made over time until the interviewees are all from Wikipedia and/or a mix or "bricks (and mortar)" students (we could just call them "bricks" for short).
 * /music - participants help make the sound track, including original music
 * /multi-lingual - participants make the voice track and any text elements for all the Wikiversity project languages.

Searching for initiator:
 * /Movie production
 * Machinima movies - tutorial - participants make a movie using Machinima

Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the lesson (lessons are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing!

Electronics/Dielectrics

A dielectric is the material between two charges. It impeds the flow of charge until a certain voltage threshold at which point charge starts flowing.

''When I first learned about capacitors I thought that this was the way capacitors were used. They charge up to a strong enough voltage and then the dielectric breaks down and then they charge up again. I thought this was the basis for timer circuits. We need to be careful to separate dielectric breakdown from things that are supposed to happen in electronic circuits.''

Talk:Locomotives of the Midland Railway

Attribution of locos to designers
There seems to be some inconsistency here. Midland Railway Class 3F 0-6-0 has been attributed to Fowler. Fowler did rebuild them but they were introduced by Johnson so I think they should be attributed to him. What do others think? Biscuittin 16:53, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Johnson's original 0-6-0 engines (built 1875-1902) had a B class boiler, 4'1" diameter with round-top firebox; the pressure was originally 140 lb/in2 but later engines were 150 lb/in2. These were later classified 2F, and their 1907 numbers were 2900-3764.
 * The first MR locos to fall within what was later known as the 3F classification were Johnson's "2736" class of 1903 ("3765" class after 1907). The crucial change from the earlier locos was the use of a larger boiler of higher pressure (4'8" diameter, 175 lb/in2). Deeley did not arrive until 1905 so Johnson must get the credit.
 * Johnson's "2736" class used the H class boiler, and Deeley continued to use this for new construction until no. 284 in 1906 (later no. 3814). For the 3815-34 batch in 1908, he used the H1 class boiler (designed for the "Flatiron" 0-6-4T), although this differed little from the H boiler - it had 242 tubes instead of 258.
 * Deeley's rebuilds of various engines in the 3130-3764 block from 2F to 3F used the round-top 4'8" boiler (H, H1 or HX).
 * Fowler's superheated 0-6-0 (class 4F) arrived in 1911; this had a Belpaire firebox (G7s boiler), but earlier locos did not begin to receive Belpaire boilers until 1916. These were of two sizes: the G6 boiler was 4'1" diameter, the G7 was 4'8" diameter. The use of the Belpaire firebox (G6 and G7) instead of round-top (B, H and H1) did not affect the classification, although it is true to say that most 2Fs had a round top firebox, and most 3Fs ended up with a Belpaire firebox. These Belpaire rebuilds were all saturated, with three exceptions: 3792, 3806/28 were given the superheated G7s boiler in 1922-3, but reverted to saturated (G7) in 1928-9.
 * So, although Fowler introduced the Belpaire firebox to the Midland, he didn't introduce class 3F. I'd go with Johnson. -- Red rose64 (talk) 15:17, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Do you have any refs for this, because if it's to go into the articles, they'll be needed. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:41, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * True, which is why I've confined it to the talk page. That lot is mostly from notes I've made over the last 30 years on A4 paper. Unfortunately I didn't record my sources, except for Baxter's "British Locomotive Catalogue", a copy of which I do have somewhere. I don't think that book covers everything though. I seem to recall a title "Derby Works and Midland Locomotives", don't remember the author. -- Red rose64 (talk) 17:25, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * That page Midland Railway Class 3F 0-6-0 is wrong; Go with the engineering classifications rather than the power classifications. 6 coupled freight engines of the Midland are bloody complicated and it takes a lot of reading and understanding to appreciate them properly.  If you try to write an article without understanding them, you'll just create a mess. Tony May (talk) 23:40, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Dennis Ververgaert

Dennis Andrew Ververgaert (born March 30, 1953) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey right winger who played in the National Hockey League from 1973 until 1981. He featured in the 1980 Stanley Cup Finals with the Flyers.

Ververgaert is best known for his time with the Vancouver Canucks, where he was one of the club's top players in their first decade of existence. He was selected to play in the NHL All-Star Game in 1976 and 1978.

Playing career
Ververgaert had a dominant junior career with the London Knights, scoring 147 points in 1972–73, including a franchise record 89 assists (surpassed by Sergei Kostitsyn in 2005–06), and was selected third overall in the 1973 NHL Amateur Draft by the Vancouver Canucks. Blessed with size and skill, together with a booming shot, Ververgaert was thought to have the potential to be the first true star player in the history of the young franchise.

In his first NHL season, Ververgaert did not disappoint, stepping straight onto the Canucks' roster and recording a team-leading 26 goals along with 31 assists for 57 points. He led all rookies in goals and was second in points to Tom Lysiak, and finished fourth in Calder Memorial Trophy voting as the league's top rookie. His 26 goals remained the Canucks' rookie record until broken by Trevor Linden in 1988–89.

In 1974–75 Ververgaert was even better, recording 51 points in 57 games despite missing substantial time due to a serious shoulder injury. His production was a key factor in the team's improvement, as they won their division and made the playoffs for the first time. He would have his finest season in 1975–76, leading the Canucks with 37 goals and 71 points. He was also selected to play in his first NHL All-Star Game and proceeded to score two goals in 10 seconds to set an All-Star record, since broken by Owen Nolan.

After the success of his first three seasons, Ververgaert appeared to be on the verge of stardom. However, his career would go sideways after 1976 as his production dropped off and he came under increased criticism for his poor defensive play. His greatest success had been with center André Boudrias, and after Boudrias left for the WHA, he was never able to find the same sort of chemistry with later linemates. In 1976–77, Ververgaert slumped to 27 goals and just 45 points, while recording a plus/minus rating of -35. He rebounded slightly in 1977–78 to tally 21 goals and a career-high 33 assists for 54 points, and was selected to play in his second All-Star game.

In 1978–79, Ververgaert started the season slowly, with nine goals in his first 35 games, and was facing stiff competition for ice time from star rookie Stan Smyl. Midway through the season, he was dealt to the Philadelphia Flyers for Kevin McCarthy and Drew Callander, and finished the year with career lows of 18 goals and 44 points. In Philadelphia, Ververgaert was used more as a utility player instead of the front-line forward he had been in Vancouver, and was occasionally a healthy scratch. He recorded 14 goals and 17 assists for 31 points in 58 games in 1979–80, but only appeared in two games as the Flyers reached the Stanley Cup finals.

Released by the Flyers, Ververgaert signed with the Washington Capitals for 1980–81. He turned in a decent performance for the Capitals, finishing the year with 14 goals and 41 points in 79 games. However, at the start of the 1981–82 campaign he was assigned to the minors, and chose to retire rather than accept the assignment.

Ververgaert finished his career with totals of 176 goals and 216 assists for 392 points in 583 games, along with 247 penalty minutes. His 139 goals as a Vancouver Canuck uniform place him 11th all-time, and only Don Lever scored more goals for the club during the 1970s.

Following his career, Ververgaert returned to Vancouver, where he operates an insurance business and is an active member of the Canucks' alumni organization.

Vermont Route 11

Vermont Route 11 (VT 11) is a 42.154 mi east–west state highway in Vermont, United States. The western end of the highway is at VT 7A in Manchester. The eastern end is at the New Hampshire border at the Cheshire Bridge over the Connecticut River, connecting Springfield and Charlestown, New Hampshire. The route continues into New Hampshire as New Hampshire Route 11, and then following that into Maine as Maine State Route 11. The three Routes 11, totaling 551.7 mi in length, were once part of the New England Interstate system.

Route description
VT 11 begins as Depot Street at an intersection with VT 7A and VT 30 in Manchester Center within the Batten Kill river valley at the edge of the Green Mountains. It proceeds eastward across railroad tracks and the US 7 expressway, intersecting it at Exit 4. VT 11 and VT 30 then proceed northeast and east following along the path of Bromley Brook for another five miles (8 km) into the northern edge of the town of Winhall, where VT 30 then separates to the southeast. VT 11 continues on its eastward track, passing through the Big Bromley Ski Area and town center of Peru, on its way to the town center of Londonderry. In Londonderry center, VT 11 is known as North Main Street and has a junction and short overlap with VT 100.

VT 11 continues past Londonderry center, passing by the Magic Mountain Ski Area, towards the village of North Windham. From here, VT 11 turns northward, entering the town of Andover, following the path of the Middle Branch Williams River. VT 11 follows the river for about eight miles (13 km), as it turns eastward again in the village of Simonsville and continues towards the town center of Chester. In Chester center, VT 11 runs along Main Street, South Main Street, and Pleasant Street, overlapping with VT 103. After crossing the main Williams River, VT 11 heads east for three miles (5 km) then enters the town of Springfield. Within the urban compact of Springfield, VT 11 uses Chester Road, River Street, Main Street, and Clinton Street. VT 11 continues past the urban area following the Black River towards the Connecticut River as a 4 lane, undivided surface arterial. About a mile before reaching the Connecticut River, VT 11 is joined by U.S. Route 5 for about 0.8 mi, with an interchange with I-91. After US 5 separates, VT 11 continues east for another 0.02 mi, reverting to 2 lanes, one each way, before ending at the Cheshire Bridge at the New Hampshire state line. The road continues into New Hampshire as New Hampshire Route 11.

History
A portion of modern VT 11 in the town of Winhall was part of an early toll road known as the Peru Turnpike. In 1922, the six New England states adopted a uniform road marking system that assigned route numbers from 1 to 99 for inter-state routes. VT 11 was originally assigned its designation as part of New England Interstate Route 11, which ran 173 mi between New England Route 4 in Manchester, Vermont and New England Route 1 in Biddeford, Maine. Vermont formally established its state highway system in 1931, at which time the state took over maintenance of the western two-thirds of the route, between Manchester Center and Chester center, as well as the portion in Springfield along the Black River. The section from Chester center to Springfield center remained a town-maintained road until being transferred to the state in 1941.

VT 11 was extended south from Manchester Center to the New York state line west of Arlington by 1938, replacing VT 123. The portion of VT 11 between the state line and Arlington was co-designated as VT 313 from New York to Arlington by 1940, leading to the truncation of VT 11 back to Manchester Center between 1947 and 1952.

Sir Abraham Elton, 2nd Baronet

Sir Abraham Elton, 2nd Baronet (baptised 30 June 1679 – 20 October 1742) of Bristol and Clevedon Court, Somerset, was a British merchant, slave trader and Whig politician, who sat in the House of Commons for Taunton between 1724 and 1727, and then for Bristol from 1727 until his death in 1742. He also served as the High Sheriff of Bristol from 1710 to 1711, and was Mayor of Bristol for the year 1719 to 1720.

Early life
Elton's exact date of birth is not known, but he was baptised on 30 June 1679. He was the eldest son of Abraham Elton (later created the first of the Elton baronets), and his wife Mary Jefferies.

Career
Elton was a merchant and industrialist, and like his father before him, he served as the High Sheriff of Bristol in 1710–11. He invested in slave ships with his brothers, Isaac and Jacob. He was the Master of the Society of Merchant Venturers in 1719 and Mayor of Bristol from 1719 to 1720, but in 1720 he was made bankrupt during the "South Sea Bubble". As soon as he completed his term as Mayor, he left Bristol and travelled to France, and did not return until his father paid off his debts.

Upon his father's death on 9 February 1728, Elton became Sir Abraham Elton, 2nd Baronet, and inherited Clevedon Court.

Member of Parliament
Elton returned to England by 1724, and stood in the Taunton by-election of 1724 for the Whigs, as an unexpected late entrant. He was duly elected to serve as a Member of Parliament for Taunton, though one of the other candidates, George Deane, filed a petition against his election. The petition was rejected by a vote of 151 to 104. He only served Taunton until the general election in 1727, when his father vacated his seat in Bristol. At the resulting election, Elton paid his Tory opponent £1,000 to withdraw from the election, allowing him to be returned unopposed. In Parliament, he became a member of the gaols committee. In February 1730 he spoke against the Royal African Company's petition to be spared the cost of maintaining their forts. He often petitioned government on mercantile issues, amongst them: in 1730 for the removal of duty on soaps and candles, five separate times for the removal of duty on Irish yarn, and twice against the introduction of slave duties. He was said to have made a "bantering speech" against the proposed Excise Bill of 1733.

Elton topped the poll in a contest at the 1734 general election. He continued raising petitions on mercantile issues, and voted with the Opposition in all recorded divisions. He was returned unopposed at the 1741 general election.

Personal life
On 14 May 1702, Elton married Abigail Bayly (1677–1724), the daughter of Zachary Bayly of Charlcot House, near Westbury, Wiltshire and Northwood Park, near Glastonbury, Somerset.

 * Jacob Elton (d. 1745), a Captain in the Royal Navy who was killed in action in a sea battle with the French; he married Caroline Yate, daughter of Charles Yate.
 * Mary Elton (1706–1755), who married James Heywood, of Maristow (near Roborough in Devon) and Jamaica.
 * Sir Abraham Elton, 3rd Baronet (1703–1761), who served as Sheriff of Bristol and died unmarried.
 * Elizabeth Elton (1716–1790), who married Capt. George Forster.
 * Sir Abraham Isaac Elton, 4th Baronet (1717–1790), who married Elizabeth Read, daughter of James Read, in 1747.

Elton died on 20 October 1742, leaving three sons and three daughters. The baronetage passed to his eldest son, who became Sir Abraham Elton, 3rd Baronet but died without issue. The baronetcy then passed to his brother Sir (Abraham) Isaac Elton, 4th Baronet. Another of Elton's sons, Jacob, became a Royal Navy captain but was killed in a sea battle. Elton's daughters Mary and Elizabeth both married.

Descendants
Through his daughter Mary, he was a grandfather of James Modyford Heywood, MP for Fowey.

Through his youngest son, Abraham Isaac Elton, he was a grandfather of the Rev. Sir Abraham Elton, 5th Baronet (1755–1842).

Cookbook:Paprika

Paprika is a sweet-to-mildly hot cultivar of the chilli pepper (Capsicum annuum, of the family Solanaceae). Paprika peppers are a bright red elongated or round fruit.

Hungary is probably the world's leading producer of paprika; in the United States, California and Texas are the main producers.

Paprika is often eaten ground as a powder and sometimes as a fresh vegetable. It is commonly used in Hungarian, Balkan, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian cuisines. The round type can be stuffed with cottage cheese or salad to make a portable lunch.

Some specialty varieties of paprika are hot but the generally available ground preparation is quite mild.

Smoked paprika has an extra strong smoky flavour. It is very strong and needs to be used in moderation, but it adds a distinctive touch to dishes such as Chicken Paprikash and Paprika Chicken.

XS Platinum

XS Platinum Inc., also known as XSP, is a wholly owned subsidiary of XS Platinum Ltd, and was founded in 2007 to be a sustainable mine that would get its platinum from mining waste as opposed to new mining. XSP had a contract with Tiffany & Co. On May 1, 2009, the BLM authorized the disposal of 200,000 cubic yards of processed tailing material as mineral materials from the following mining claims in the vicinity of Platinum, Alaska within the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge. At its beginning, day-to-day operations were to be under the direction of Phil Cash, a metallurgical engineer.

Equipment
In 2009 XS purchased a wash screen which fed the minus material to a multi-jig recovery system. XSP contracted AuVert Ltd to design and construct the processing plant for the Platinum Creek mine, which was installed in 2010. 2010 production was up and 2011 production was down. AuVert claimed they voluntarily shut down the plant in 2011 due to high turbidity from contaminated water leaking into the Salmon River, which exceeded the permit limits. However this appears to be contradicted by the lawsuit filed by the federal government.

Platinum Creek Mine
XS Platinum bought the Platinum Creek Mine in November 2007 for US$50 million, with the remaining installments due by December 2015. XS Platinum defaulted on the loan in 2012. The facility was located on the Salmon River, which is an important habitat for chinook, chum, coho, pink and sockeye salmon. It is unknown how much if any damage is done to the salmon; there were elevated levels of aluminum and copper in the salmon.

During the time the mine was operated, it is estimated that 540,000 ounces of platinum were mined. Operations ceased in 2012; at that time platinum was selling for about $1,400 per ounce.

Indictment
A fisheries biologist flew over the area of the plant in 2011 and noted that the water was murky when it should be clear. That spurred an investigation in which he took 400 photos which showed new mining work with turbid ponds. On January 13, 2013, a 28-page indictment was filed that accused XS Platinum and its three top executives along with two employees of conspiring to violate the federal Clean Water Act along with falsifying compliance reports to the federal government. No one representing the company showed up at the initial federal court hearing in Anchorage. XS Platinum's annual report to state and federal agencies in 2011 showed that there had been no discharges during 2010; they were supposed to be a zero-discharge plant.

Invitation to new java programmers
A learning project has been setup to allow novices of all applicable disciplines to gain some experience by attempting performance of some game production design and implementation tasks in whatever adhoc teams they choose to work. It is an open source game development project titled CisLunarFreighter. All are welcome to drop by and kibitz or take charge or help out or ask questions. That is why the project was established. It is currently envisioned as object oriented design implemented in Java. Mirwin 01:43, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Ideas?
Any ideas for new lessons?

 * I'm interested in adding a section on advanced Java, for anyone who has completed the basic courses (like Learning JAVA or Introduction to Programming in Java). This would include things like syntax trivia (bitwise operators, etc.), networking, advanced Swing ( and   models), internationalization, localization, events (writing handlers, classes that fire events, and custom events), reflection, and such. Would anyone be interested in helping create this, or learning from it? --MetaBohemian
 * Let me finish Introduction to Programming in Java first. One thing though - nothing about syntax is trivial - advanced, perhaps, but not trivial. I was reading the Java Language Specification today doing some research for the intro course and learned a few interesting things. Dmclean 02:53, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Meta -- if you have an idea, and feel like writing, use a sandbox spot off of your userspace, or create up a new page. Never leave a good lesson idea on the back burner if you have time and inclination to get it into electronic form. If it doesn't fit or can't be used right now, I don't have doubt that it can be refactored/reworked/edited/etc to become part of another learning stream, if it's good at the core. MHO, of course. Historybuff 02:55, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Could we write a section that is Java for Kids? There are many high school kids seriously looking for learning Java.

Comments
I think that perhaps Introduction to Programming should be a prerequisite. I am not comfortable with the description of functional and object oriented programming that are tossed into the beginning of this course. Those terms, along with the driving force behind them, should be introduced before the reader even gets here. Dmclean 13:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Q
Any ideas on which parts of the lessons need clarification?
 * What are pointers?
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer Cremisis13 16:33, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Suggested Topic Order
I'm an experienced amateur programmer. My biggest complaint when learning Java was being shown concepts that I wasn't ready for; for example, learning to define a class before learning the basics of OO. True, some syntaxes must be taken on faith until the concepts are learned (like the signature  before learning the concept of static methods or arrays), but this should be kept to a minimum. Looking through the topic as it stands, I think a different order of the lessons would be less confusing. I don't mean to come in and start making major revisions of the topic, but I do think some reordering would be useful. Here's an idea: (Edit: moved to User:MetaBohemian/Java Outline to save space here. --MetaBohemian 20:53, 13 February 2007 (UTC)) MetaBohemian 03:44, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Very well thought out, and I was thinking the very thing. I was quite surprised when I was seeing some of the topics i.e., Protection, in one of the very first lessons of the "Learning Java" learning project. Although I agree with the general flow of things of your Java Outline, might I suggest bringing the lesson on the import statements to the beginning of the course? Then you could elaborate on the API later while allowing the student take full advantage of the Java classes already provided. I would also like to see something on I/O i.e., BufferedReader. Otherwise, I think that your outline is very sensible and very well thought out. However actual implementation of that might prove much more of a problem. Zchenyu 20:54, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

New Java Learning Project
Ok, in this Java Center, there are only courses in the learning project. However, I believe that there should be at least on tutorial that really gets down to the point and really teaches you by example and not through "lectures." However, I would like to receive some feedback on this proposal before starting a whole new Learning Project. Zchenyu 20:58, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I have been trying to make Introduction to Programming in Java more by example than by lecture. But then, it is also targeted at people with no programming experience at all. What type of audience were you planning on targeting? Dmclean 16:08, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, I'm planning on targeting a group with at least some basic programming experience. This also includes more experienced programmers who just simply want to learn Java. I'm gonna try to create a tutorial that beginner programmers can follow and understand (examples, explanations, etc), while also providing information that is easy to access for experienced programmers (tables, lists, etc). Zchenyu 21:33, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I think that is a good idea, because i'm not quite sure if beginners can follow the java tutorial anyway.Al-20 11:29, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok, now that I have found the time to write such a tutorial, I will begin to do so. Zchenyu 01:15, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

A proposal - Collaborative, open source projects
Why not open a project at some online repository, like Google Code, SourceForge or Github, to host the code resulting from exercises and assignments given in the learning projects? The purpose is to give learners a sandbox to share and discuss their code, and read the code written by others. There could also be some larger assignments (like, "write a Swing application that...") aiming specifically at constructing the source code collaboratively, in a wiki style. Is anyone interested? --LoStrangolatore (talk) 20:13, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Alternatively, of course, this could be done here, in the subpages of some learning project aimed specifically at containing the source code... --LoStrangolatore (talk) 05:03, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

1992 Murindó earthquake

The 1992 Murindó earthquake (also known as the Atrato earthquake) occurred on October 18 at 15:11 UTC (10:11 a.m. local time) with an epicenter in the Department of Chocó, northern Colombia. The shallow magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck northwest of the town of Murindó, killing ten and injured more than a hundred. Thirty-three municipalities were severely damaged.

The preferred focal mechanism of this earthquake is highly debated with either thrust, reverse, or left-lateral strike-slip.

Tectonic setting
Subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the North Andes Plate (part of the South American Plate) occasionally produces moderately large to great earthquakes along the coast of Colombia. The megathrust fault forms the northern part of the Peru–Chile Trench, which has been the source of very large earthquakes including the 1906 Ecuador–Colombia earthquake; the magnitude 8.8 is the biggest in the region and the 6th largest earthquake to be instrumentally recorded.

Earthquake
From the earthquake's depth and proximity to the trench, this was not a subduction-related earthquake.

On October 17, a magnitude 6.7 foreshock struck between Murindó and Opogodó 31 hours before the mainshock. Its focal mechanism was of reverse origin. It ruptured along a thrust or reverse fault for 50 km. Because of its size and rupture length, this quake could be considered an independent mainshock.

The earthquake of October 18 was slightly more complex, consisting of two events separated by a time gap of 12 seconds. Two focal mechanisms were discovered during the mainshock thrust and strike-slip, which meant that there was a transition of faulting. This quake ruptured a 90 km section of the fault. A third event 100 seconds later could be part of the mainshock sequence. It is believed that this earthquake was a result of slippage along the Murindó Fault, a left-lateral strike-slip fault, and other smaller structures. No surface rupture was ever mentioned in reports.

Foreshock
A maximum intensity of VIII (Severe) was assigned to the magnitude 6.7 earthquake, and was felt in Murindó. It caused no deaths but 20 people were injured, and nearly all the buildings in the town were destroyed. It caused cracks to appear near rivers and liquefaction in the affected area.

Mainshock
The mainshock was much more severe, reaching X on the Modified Mercalli and MSK intensity scale. It was reassessed in the early 21st century based on its environmental effects and was assigned XI on the Environmental Seismic Intensity scale. The original intensity was mis-assigned likely due to the lack of buildings and underdevelopment in the affected region. In Murindó and the Atrato Valley, shaking intensity was IX (Violent), accounting for most of the damage to human settlements.

Most of the affected areas were on low-relief terrain, with small hills that form the eastern part of the North Andes. These low hills were stripped of vegetation from landslides, covering an area of 480 km2. Between 30 and 40% of the vegetation in the area was gone. Slope failures were also seen along riverbanks of the Atrato and Murindo rivers. Small slides were also seen in the city of Medellin.

Many of the liquefaction cases were sand ejection from lateral-spreading. These phenomenons caused subsidence in some areas measured at 1.5 meters. Villages near riverbanks were affected because blocks of land were sliding into the rivers, turning them muddy.

A mud volcano in San Pedro de Uraba ejected 50,000 m3 of material, and exploded in a fiery ignition of gases, killing seven and injuring 20 while another at San Juan de Uraba emerged from the sea, creating Damaquiel Island near the coast.

The death toll was relatively low because most of the residents had fled the town damaged by the foreshock. One child was killed after a school wall collapsed in Vigia del Fuerte. Further away in Bogota, five buildings were evacuated for fear that they would collapse. Rescue and recovery efforts were hampered as the only road leading to the affected region was buried under a landslide. Floods swept the affected towns after water overflowed from an earthquake lake on the Atrato River. The total damage from the foreshock and mainshock amounted to more than US$100 million.

UK Constitution and Government/Devolved Administrations

Presentation
Devolved Administrations

Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

Devolution
Devolution refers to the transfer of administrative, executive, or legislative authority to new institutions operating only within a defined part of the United Kingdom. Devolved institutions have been created for Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales.

Devolution differs from federalism in formally being a unilateral process that can be reversed at will; formal sovereignty is still retained at the centre. Thus, while the US Congress cannot reduce the powers of a state legislature, Parliament has the legal capacity to even go so far as to abolish the devolved legislatures.

Devolution in Wales was originally restricted to the executive/administrative sphere, whereas in Scotland and Northern Ireland devolution extended to wide powers to pass laws.

Scotland
The Scottish legislative authority is the Scottish Parliament. The Scottish Parliament is a unicameral body composed of 129 members (called Members of Scottish Parliament, or MSPs) elected for fixed four-year terms. Each of 73 members is elected by a constituency. The remaining are elected by eight regions, with each region electing seven members. Each voter has one constituency vote—cast for a single individual—and one regional vote—cast either for a party or for an independent candidate. Regional members are allocated in such a way as to permit a party's share of the regional vote to be proportional to its share of seats in the Scottish Parliament.

The Scottish Government is the executive authority of Scotland; it is led by the First Minister. Other members of the Scottish Cabinet are generally given the title of Minister. The First Minister must retain the confidence of the Scottish Parliament to remain in power.

Scotland has responsibility over several major areas, including taxation, criminal justice, health, education, transport, the environment, sport, culture and local government. The Parliament at Westminster, however, retains authority over a certain number of reserved matters. Reserved matters include foreign affairs, defence, immigration, social security and welfare, employment, and general economic and fiscal policy.

Wales
The National Assembly for Wales is the Welsh legislative authority. It is, like the Scottish Parliament, a unicameral body; it also uses a similar electoral system. Forty of its sixty members are chosen from single-member constituencies, while the remaining twenty are regional members. (There are five regions.) The Welsh Government is led by the First Minister and includes other Ministers, who must retain the confidence of the Assembly.

The third Welsh Assembly can legislate using a system called "Assembly Measures". This system is a lower form of Primary Legislation similar to Acts of Parliament. They can be used to repeal laws, create provision and amend laws. The difference with "Assembly Measures" and "Acts of the Assembly" is that Measures do not have a bulk of powers with them, each Measure will come with a LCO, or Legislative Competency Order, which transfers powers from the UK Parliament to the Welsh Assembly Government. Devolution in Wales has changed a lot since 1999.

In order for the National Assembly to have full legislative powers, they will need to trigger a referendum through both the Assembly and both houses of the United Kingdom parliament. Once done, Wales will for the first time ever, will be able to legislate and make their own Acts. (To be known as Acts of the Assembly, or Acts of the National Assembly for Wales). In early 2011, a referendum held in Wales approved the transfer of full legislative competence to the National Assembly in all devolved matters.

Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland was the first part of the United Kingdom to gain devolution, in 1921. However, it has had a troubled history since then, caused by conflict between the main Unionist and Nationalist communities. Because of this historical background, the present system of devolution requires power to be shared between political parties representing the different communities, and there are complex procedural checks in place to ensure cross-community support for legislation and executive action.

The Northern Ireland Assembly comprises 108 members elected to represent 18 six-member constituencies.

The Executive (government) is made up of members from the largest parties in the Assembly, with ministerial portfolios allocated in proportion to party strengths. The Executive is headed jointly by a First Minister and Deputy First Minister, who are jointly elected by the Assembly.

The Assembly's legislative powers are broad, and are similar to those of the Scottish Parliament (with the notable exception of taxation). The transfer from the United Kingdom's central government of responsibility for the criminal justice system has been highly contentious, and has only recently been carried out.

2015 Utah State Aggies football team

The 2015 Utah State Aggies football team represented Utah State University in the 2015 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Aggies were led by third-year head coach Matt Wells and played their home games at Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium. This was Utah State's third season as members of the Mountain West Conference in the Mountain Division. They finished the season 6–7, 5–3 in Mountain West play to finish in a four-way tie for second place in the Mountain Division. They were invited to the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl where they lost to Akron.

Departures
The Aggies lost both their Defensive and offensive coordinators (DC Todd Orlando to Houston and OC Kevin McGiven to Oregon State)

Among notable player losses to graduation were S Brian Suite, LB Zach Vigil, DE B.J. Larsen, WR Ronald Butler, and OL Kevin Whimpey. Another notable loss was QB Darrel Garretson announcing that he would be transferring to Oregon State University.

On June 29, it was announced that Bruce "JoJo" Natson was released from the team for violation of unspecified team rules.

Maverik Stadium upgrades
On May 18, 2015, demolition began on the west side of Maverik Stadium to make way for a new concourse, press box, and luxury box complex. Construction lasted throughout the season, and as a result, the stadium's capacity was temporarily reduced.

Schedule

ROG Phone II

The ROG Phone II is an Android gaming smartphone made by Asus as the second generation of ROG smartphone series following the first generation ROG Phone. The ROG Phone II was announced in July 2019 and competes with the Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Pro and ZTE Nubia Red Magic 3s.

Hardware
The ROG Phone II's overall design is similar to its predecessor, using a metal chassis and a glass backplate. It retains the RGB-illuminated logo on the back of the device which can be user-customized to show different colors. The fingerprint sensor is no longer located on the back, as an under-display optical sensor is used instead. Two LED modules are located next to the camera, one of which acts as a flash and the other is an RGB LED used to light up the optional Lighting Armour case. The front of the phone features front-facing stereo speakers on either side of the display, and a camera built into the top bezel. The screen has a refresh rate of 120 Hz compared to the 90 Hz refresh rate of the original ROG Phone, which can be configured to 60/90/120 Hz in the phone settings. The display itself is a 6.59-inch 1080p AMOLED panel with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, which is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 6 and supports DCI-P3 and HDR10 with 240 Hz touch sensing. The device uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ SoC and speed-binned Adreno 640 GPU, paired with 8 or12 GB of RAM and 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB of non-expandable UFS 3.0 storage. Power is provided by a 6000 mAh battery, and 30 W fast charging is supported along with 10 W reverse charging. Signature features such as the 'vapor-chamber' cooling technology and custom double USB-C port on the side of the phone have also been carried over. The ultrasonic 'air triggers' have been improved as well, with faster haptic feedback. Gaming accessories are also available including the AeroActive Cooler II, the ROG Kunai Gamepad and Twinview Dock II.

Camera
A dual camera system is used, with a primary sensor and an ultrawide sensor. The main lens has a new Quad-Bayer 48 MP unit, while the ultrawide lens has a 13 MP unit. Neither of the lenses has OIS, but the main lens has PDAF and Laser AF. Users can select Night mode and Pro mode as well. The rear cameras are capable of shooting 4K video at 30 or 60 fps in addition to 1080p at 30, 60 or 240 fps and slow-motion 720p at 480 fps. Gyro-EIS augments video, but it is not supported if 240 fps or 480 fps is used. The front camera has a 24 MP sensor which can record 1080p video at 30 fps. Both the front and rear cameras can film panoramas and utilise HDR.

Software
The ROG Phone II uses ROG UI, a modified Asus skin based on Android 9.0 "Pie", but can be configured to use the standard ZenUI 6 found on the ZenFone 6, which functions very similarly to stock Android. The phone has several preloaded gaming-focused apps such as ASUS Armoury Crate which gives users advanced control over the hardware and software by allowing per-game performance profiles to be set up, as well as enabling detailed configuration of the RGB LEDs on the phone and its accessories. The phone also comes with Game Genie, which allows live configuration of phone settings in game and provides a moveable UI element displaying FPS, temperature and clock speeds. It also enables configuration of AirTriggers, game specific macros, silencing notifications and a record or live stream function.

As of March 2020, the ROG Phone II now officially supports Android 10. As of February 2022, the ROG Phone II now officially supports Android 11

For instance, the above would look like this, Klunkified, and took me this long to make. (6 minutes? That seems longer than it actually took.)  It is pretty nice for web graphics:

What would really be nice is to have some sort of circuit builder. That would be a great way to teach electronics, but it would probably be a lot of work.

Circuit builder of choice: mspaint.exe"

 * I think we should use Klunky. I have mentioned this a million times.  It is super easy, a uniform, good look for the web, much much faster than mspaint, everyone can access it, free, etc. etc.  see Electronics:Template for more.

 * My circuit builder of choice: klunky

 * We should have some discussion, though. It would be nice if we could all use the same thing and have nice looking graphics. - Omegatron 14:32, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Instructions for making a Klunky drawing in Windows with the help of MSPaint:

 * 1) Open a window to http://www.qsl.net/wd9eyb/klunky/framed.html (or open the downloaded klunky.html on your own computer)
 * 2) Draw your circuit
 * 3) * Click on the desired component or wire in the top frame
 * 4) * Click in the bottom frame where you want the component to go, repeat for each component
 * 5) * To erase a block, just click on one of the blank squares in the top frame and click in the bottom frame where you want a blank.
 * 6) * Additional parts are located in the bottom row, by clicking the links to things such as "L's <", "D's ^", "Amps"
 * 7) * You can slide your circuit in one direction to make more room for components by pushing left, right, up, or down
 * 8) Use the scroll bars to move the circuit so the entire circuit is visible
 * 9) Press the "Print Screen", "Print Scrn", or "Prt Scn" button on your keyboard.
 * 10) Run MSPaint
 * 11) Press Edit -> Paste
 * 12) Use the resizing handles to crop the image to just the circuit
 * 13) Add labels, etc. with Arial 10 pt.
 * 14) Save as PNG
 * 15) Upload to Wikibooks

More detailed instructions are available at http://www.qsl.net/wd9eyb/klunky/guide.html

Note that there are many ways to streamline this process (steps 3 through 9), such as screen capture programs, etc. I use Paint Shop myself, but it is certainly not the best solution. I just use it out of habit.

Here are some others I made:

I don't actually recommend that ugly 4 way connection. That is just something I sent to the author of the program since he doesn't include a 4 way because it might get confused with the non contacting wires. i think it is not very confusing, and you should just use a regular 4 way connection. in fact, i will make one:

Modified Klunky
I modified the Klunky available on the web. I added a bunch of new symbols (all of the above symbols, like ideal sources, cells, etc.), and tweaked a few so they were better, in my opinion. Plus you can run it from your own machine, which is much faster. You can download it from http://mysite.verizon.net/negatron/klunky.zip Just unzip it into a folder and then open klunky.html (however that site seems to be down. keep checking and i will see if it is something i can fix.) Or you can give me your email address and I will send it. - Omegatron

TeX-based diagrams?
Is there a way to create diagrams with a TeX-like language? They are adding musical notation, hieroglyphs, etc. to the mediawiki. I don't understand all the details but here is something similar:. - Omegatron 20:59, 26 May 2004 (UTC)

Georges Van der Kerken

Georges Van der Kerken (16 October 1888 – 3 December 1953) was a Belgian lawyer, colonial administrator and professor. He served as acting governor of Équateur Province in the Belgian Congo in 1922. He is known for his publications on the ethnology of peoples of the Belgian Congo.

Early years (1888–1914)
Georges-Jules-Pierre Van der Kerken was born in Ixelles on 16 October 1888. His parents were Théophile Van der Kerken and Charlotte Béraud. He obtained a doctorate in Law from the University of Brussels. He married Jeanne Rogissart.

Colonial official (1914–1924)
From 1914 to 1919 Van der Kerken practiced law in Katanga Province as chief prosecutor, military auditor and judge. From 1919 to 1924 he served in the administration of the province of Équateur. He exercised in turn the functions of regional official, military auditor and district commissioner. Van der Kerken acted as governor of Équateur when the governor Charles Duchesne was on leave from January to September 1922.

Academic (1924–1953)
Van der Kerken was a strong defender of indirect administration, a policy aimed at improving Africans while retaining their culture, traditions and language in a country that would one day have to administer itself. After leaving the administration Van der Kerken became a professor at the University Institute of Overseas Territories in Antwerp, where he taught "Congolese ethnography" from 1924 to 1934. In 1925 he was taught "Colonial economics and law" at the commercial school attached to the Faculty of Law in Ghent. In 1926–1927 he undertook a mission for the trade unions in the Congo. In 1927 he taught "Concepts on the governance of the Belgian Congo" and "The colonial nature and the legislation of Congo" at the Faculty of Law's commercial school, in 1935 gave a free course in "Legislation of the Belgian Congo as well as an overview of the foreign colonial institutions" at the commercial school. From 1934 he taught "Institutions and customary law in Belgian Africa" at the Law Faculty of the State University in Ghent.

Van der Kerken was member of the Standing Committee of the Belgian Colonial Congress, member of the Executive Council of the International Institute of African Languages and Cultures in London, member of the International Colonial Institute which became the International Institute of Differing Civilizations after World War II (1939–1945), member of the Society of Africanists (Société des Africanistes) of Paris and member of the International Institute of Anthropology (Institut international d'Anthropologie) of Paris. He was an associate member of the Royal Belgian Colonial Institute from 5 February 1930, full member from 9 November 1936, and director of the Section of Moral and Political Sciences in 1942. He ceased to participate in the activities of the Institute after the liberation of Belgium.

Georges Van der Kerken died in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert on 3 December 1953. He was Grand Officer of the Order of Leopold II and bearer of decorations of the Royal Order of the Lion.

Publications
In the course of his duties, Van der Kerken was in constant contact with the local people in his area of jurisdiction. He took every opportunity to question the chiefs and notables in their own language about their religious, family, social and political institutions. He investigated the veracity of the information provided by the different groups of the same people, who sometimes lived miles apart. He also interviewed missionaries, civil servants and magistrates, who provided him with important and original information gathered during their long stay in the native environment. Félix Cattier proclaimed that Van der Kerken's first book, Les sociétés Bantoues du Congo belge et les problèrnes de la politique, was the standard work on the subject due to its broad and penetrating insight.

Botany/Plant reproduction

<< Contents Page | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 >>

Chapter 5. Plant Reproduction

Vegetative Reproduction
Vegetative reproduction is a type of asexual reproduction—other terms that apply are vegetative propagation, clonal growth, or vegetative multiplication. Vegetative growth is enlargement of the individual plant; vegetative reproduction is any process that results in new plant "individuals" without production of seeds (see The Seed below) or spores. It is both a natural process in many, many species as well as one utilized or encouraged by horticulturists and farmers to obtain quantities of economically valuable plants. In this respect, it is a form of cloning that has been carried out by humankind for thousands of years and by "plants" for hundreds of millions of years.

 * Read Vegetative Reproduction ( Follow all links )

The Flower
The flower is the reproductive organ of plants classified as angiosperms—that is, the flowering plants comprising the Division Magnoliophyta. All plants have the means and corresponding structures for reproducing sexually, and these other cases will be explored in later chapters. However, because flowering plants are the most conspicuous plants in almost all terrestrial environments, we justifiably devote this chapter to the flowering plants alone. You will learn how other plant groups (and non-plant groups, such as fungi) reproduce sexually in Section II of The Guide.

The basic function of a flower is to produce seeds through sexual reproduction. Seeds are the next generation, and serve as the primary method in most plants by which individuals of the species are dispersed across the landscape. Actual dispersal is, in most species, a function of the fruit: structural parts that typically surround the seed. But the seed contains the germ of life of the next generation.

 * Read Plant sexuality ( Follow links you find interesting, concentrating on acquiring a grasp of the terminology )
 * Read The Flower ( Follow links you find interesting, but at minimum read each of the following articles )
 * Read calyx - the sepals
 * Read corolla - the petals
 * Read androecium - the stamens
 * Read gynoecium - the pistil(s)
 * Be sure to read about and understand the meaning of each of the following terms: androecium, anthesis, calyx, carpel, corolla, gynoecium, inferior ovary, nectary, perigynous, petal, pistil, pollen, sepal, stamen, superior ovary, syncarpous.

 * Read Inflorescence
 * Be sure to read about and understand the meaning of each of the following terms: bract, inflorescence, panicle, raceme, spadix, spikelet.

Questions

 * 1) Do you think the flower structure is in any way responsible for the considerable success of flowering plants in populating the earth?

The Seed and Germination
the primary purpose of the seed is one of preserving the continuity of life—starting a new generation in a new physical location. For large plants (shrubs and trees), this can be especially important because successful germination and growth close to the parent may be difficult or impossible; the established plant monopolizes light and water resources in its immediate vicinity. Seeds can also serve the function of overwintering or surviving harsh conditions. The entire generation—every individual—may die in the Fall or the dry season. In many annual species, only the seed exists during unfavorable dry or cold conditions.

Rothkopf or Rothkop
Hi, just a quick question: is it, reliably, Rothkopf, with an "f" at the end? I have also found the spelling Rothkop. But that might just be one wrong spelling that subsequently perpetuated itself a thousand times. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:34, 9 May 2007 (UTC).

It's Rothkopf--see the Washington Post article linked on his page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:36, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Also Does his Lineage stem from Rothschild? Everything uncovered about the Rothschild Family indicates they have illegitimate children and put them in specific positions to serve the family.

Red Cup, i.e. a toast to the red empire Roth kopf, if true it would mean he has always been secretly in favor of the NWO and would benefit greatly as it his backed by his family.

Benzhydrocodone

Benzhydrocodone (INN) (contracted from benzoate-hydrocodone) is an opioid prodrug of the morphinan class. Its chemical structure consists of hydrocodone coupled with benzoic acid. Benzhydrocodone itself is inactive and acts as a prodrug to hydrocodone upon cleavage of the benzoate portion of the molecule.

It is designed to be an opioid analgesic with a low chance of recreational use.

Created by Kempharm, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company in Coralville, Iowa, President and CEO, Travis Mickle, believes the molecular-based approach to abuse deterrent may be more effective than many formulation-based approaches.

When approved, Apadaz received a labeling that highlighted all relevant aspects of the drug, including the lower abuse profile compared to traditional hydrocodone-acetaminophen. The labeling showed several items supporting a lower abuse profile than traditional hydrocodone-acetaminophen; namely, a lower Drug Liking in the first two hours after intranasal abuse (snorting), and the conversion of benzhydrocodone to hydrocodone in vitro being a "difficult process" — with benzhydrocodone being a more difficult drug to abuse according to FDA advisory committee documents.

FDA approval
The Food and Drug Administration approved benzhydrocodone and acetaminophen (Apadaz) for the short-term (no more than 14 days) management of acute pain severe enough to require an opioid analgesic and where alternative treatments are inadequate.

Clinical pharmacology
Benzhydrocodone is a prodrug of hydrocodone. Hydrocodone is a full agonist of the opioid receptors with a higher affinity for the mu-opioid receptor. Upon binding, hydrocodone produces an analgesic effect with no ceiling. The exact mechanism of analgesia is unknown. Acetaminophen is a non-opioid, non-salicylate analgesic. The specific mechanism of analgesia has not been determined.

Effects
Hydrocodone causes respiratory depression and miosis. Hydrocodone decreases gastrointestinal (GI) motility by increasing smooth muscle tone and decreasing propulsive contractions, which may result in constipation.

Hydrocodone causes dilation of peripheral blood vessels, which can cause hypotension and syncope. Vasodilation coupled with histamine release can result in pruritus, sweating and flushing.

Hydrocodone, like other opioids, stimulates the secretion of prolactin, growth hormone (GH), insulin and glucagon. Conversely, hydrocodone inhibits adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol and luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion. Chronic hydrocodone use can lead to androgen deficiency, which may result in low libido, impotence, erectile dysfunction, amenorrhea or infertility.

Hydrocodone use can suppress the immune system.

Pharmacokinetics
Bioequivalence studies have shown that benzhydrocodone/APAP is bioequivalent to other immediate-release hydrocodone combination products such as 7.5 mg hydrocodone/200 mg ibuprofen (Vicoprofen) and 7.5 mg hydrocodone/325 mg acetaminophen (Norco).

Benzhydrocodone is metabolized to hydrocodone by intestinal enzymes. Hydrocodone can undergo O-demethylation via CYP2D6, N-demethylation via CYP3A4 and 6-keto reduction. O-methylation of hydrocodone produces hydromorphone, a potent opioid. Acetaminophen is metabolized in the liver via glucuronide conjugation, sulfate conjugation or oxidation. The CYP450 dependent (CYP1A2, CYP2E1, and CYP3A4) oxidation pathway produces a reactive metabolite that conjugates with glutathione. The glutathione conjugate is then metabolized to cysteine and mercapturic acid conjugates.

Hydrocodone is mainly excreted in the urine. The average half-life of hydrocodone is 4.5 hours. Acetaminophen metabolites are also eliminated in the urine. The average half-life of acetaminophen is 2 to 3 hours in adults.

Boxed warnings
Benzhydrocodone/APAP has the potential for addiction as well as abuse and misuse, which can result in overdose and death. Serious, life-threatening, or fatal respiratory depression can occur. Accidental ingestion can cause a fatal overdose of hydrocodone. Hydrocodone can cause neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome when taken during pregnancy. Benzhydrocodone/APAP contains acetaminophen, which can cause acute liver failure at high doses (>4000 mg a day in healthy adults). Benzhydrocodone/APAP use with CYP3A4 inhibitors can cause a fatal overdose of hydrocodone. Benzhydrocodone/APAP use with benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants can cause sedation, respiratory depression, coma or death. Benzhydrocodone is a schedule II-controlled substance. Like other opioids, benzhydrocodone has the potential to be abused. Chronic benzhydrocodone use can lead to the development of tolerance and physical dependence. Withdrawal symptoms can occur from abrupt discontinuation or rapid tapering of benzhydrocodone.

Adverse events
The safety of benzhydrocodone/APAP was evaluated in a total of 200 healthy adults in six phase 1 studies. The subjects received at least one oral dose of benzhydrocodone/APAP. The most common adverse events in these studies were nausea (21.5%), somnolence (18.5%), vomiting (13.0%), constipation (12.0%), pruritus (11.5%), dizziness (7.5%) and headache (6.0%).

Benzhydrocodone/APAP use with serotonergic drugs can cause serotonin syndrome. Mixed agonist/antagonist and partial agonist opioids may reduce the analgesic effect of benzhydrocodone/APAP or cause withdrawal symptoms. MAOIs can increase the effects of benzhydrocodone/APAP.

Contraindications
Benzhydrocodone/APAP is contraindicated in patients with significant respiratory depression, bronchial asthma in an unmonitored setting, known or suspected gastrointestinal obstructions (including paralytic ileus). It is also contraindicated in patients that have experienced hypersensitivity to hydrocodone, acetaminophen or any other component in the formulation.

Use in specific populations
Hydrocodone can cause neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome when taken during pregnancy. Reproductive and developmental studies of acetaminophen in rats and mice have shown fetotoxicity, necrosis of the liver and kidney in the pregnant rat and the fetus, retarded growth and decreased reproductive capacity of the offspring. Hydrocodone and acetaminophen are present in breast milk. Chronic opioid use can cause infertility. Safety and efficacy has not been established in patients under the age of 18. Patients over the age of 65 may have heightened sensitivity to hydrocodone. Benzhydrocodone/APAP is mainly excreted through the kidneys; therefore, geriatric patients with impaired renal function may experience more adverse reactions. The effect of renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of benzhydrocodone/APAP has not been determined. The effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of benzhydrocodone/APAP has not been determined.

Dosage and administration
Each benzhydrocodone/APAP immediate release tablet contains 6.12 mg of benzhydrocodone (equivalent to 6.67 mg of benzhydrocodone hydrochloride) and 325 mg of acetaminophen. The tablets are white, capsule-shaped and are debossed with "KP201" on one side. Dosing should start at one to two tablets every four to six hours, as needed for pain. The dosage should not exceed 12 tablets in a 24-hour period. The total dosage of benzhydrocodone/APAP and any other acetaminophen containing products should not exceed 4000 mg of acetaminophen in a 24-hour period.

Oare Pavilion

The Oare Pavilion or Oare Tea House Pavilion is a summer house designed by I. M. Pei for the businessman Henry Keswick and his wife Tessa Keswick at Oare House in Oare, Wiltshire. It was completed in 2003 and is Pei's only building in the United Kingdom. The pavilion was the recipient of an award from the Georgian Society for a new building in a Georgian context.

Pei was designing the Suzhou Museum in China at the time of his commission by the Keswicks for the Oare Pavilion. Keswick's ancestors had also been acquainted with Pei's father, a banker. The Keswicks wished for an "airy garden pavilion for family activities and guests" that would provide a focal point in the landscape surrounding Oare House.

Pei subsequently received the RIBA Gold Medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects in 2010. In a 2010 profile of Pei written by Paula Deitz for the Architects Journal, described the Oare Pavilion in the context of its surrounding landscape as "In lieu of an 18th-century folly, the Oare Pavilion is updated 21st-century chinoiserie, a raised octagonal glass structure with a two-tiered, pagoda-style roof on a white concrete foundation...". Deitz sees the pavilion as a "sister to the performance pavilion in the lotus pond at the Suzhou Museum. And, like the museum, light filters through thin wooden slats on the interior of the slanted glass walls" and concludes that the Oare Pavilion is "...one of his best – a fulfilment of a lifetime aesthetic".

The pavilion featured in the 2008 book Follies of Europe: Architectural Extravaganzas where it was described as possessing "proud confidence and advanced technical capabilities". It is visible from the North Wessex Downs. It is also described by Julian Orbach is his revised Wiltshire in the Pevsner Buildings of England series, published in 2021. Orbach describes the "extraordinary" structure as a "pagoda in glass", and notes its "elegant geometry".

Photographs of the pavilion by Morley von Sternberg are in the collection of the British Architectural Library. Von Sternberg described the pavilion as "...geometrically formal, but is in fact an incredibly relaxing place to be" in a 2014 interview.

The cloakrooms, kitchen, and furniture in the pavilion was designed by John Stefanidis.

Talk:Deke Richards

An addition and a re-edit
Two things I'm wondering if it'd be good to add.
 * 1) In the first citation, Richards's original surname (Lussier) is mentioned, but it's also in the context of Arch Hall Jr. meeting him when he (Richards) was one of the guitarists in Eegah!. Considering the infamous nature of this film, is it noteworthy to include this fact in this article?
 * 2) Earlier, for verification of Richards' original name, I linked to a discussion board thread where he contributed and mentioned why he took a screen name. I now see that it's been replaced with a more reliable source to verify the name change, which is good. Would this original link still be useful to point out the reason for the screen name, and not just the fact that it happened? Or is the source itself not as germane by Wikipedia standards?--Benfergy (talk) 02:48, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
