Oodnadatta is the normal, common and natural name for this topic, not Oodnadatta, South Australia.

Discussion

proposed merge from Angle Pole
I have proposed a merge from Angle Pole into Oodnadatta. Angle Pole appears to have been a landmark on the telegraph line, used as a point of reference in the desert to build the railway towards. When the railway was actually built, a town was surveyed and named Oodnadatta. Angle Pole is not a gazetted LOCB (bounded locality), nor the name of a historic pastoral property which are the usual criteria for naming articles. --Scott Davis Talk 04:34, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Oodnadatta
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Oodnadatta's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Stuart": From Lyndhurst, South Australia:  From Far North (South Australia):  From Quorn, South Australia:  From Parachilna, South Australia:  From Innamincka, South Australia:

Reference named "FN": From Lyndhurst, South Australia:  <li>From Woomera, South Australia: </li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 08:36, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Joanne Moldenhauer

Joanne K. Moldenhauer (née Gatz, March 15, 1928 – February 14, 2016) was an American high school mathematics teacher and two-time winner of the Edyth May Sliffe Award.

Education
Moldenhauer's father served in the United States Army. She was born in Omaha, Nebraska, and attended Benson High School in Omaha. She graduated in 1949 from the Iowa State College, with a degree in physics, hoping to go on to a research career in physics was but blocked from that goal because there were few places for women in physics at the time.

Career
After graduating from Iowa State, Moldenhauer became a high school mathematics teacher in Omaha, and two years later became a student again at the University of Minnesota. She completed a master's degree in mathematics at Minnesota in 1952, and started work as an electrical engineer at General Electric. Her job there involved the development of fire-control systems for military aircraft. However, bored with her work, she soon returned to high school teaching. In 1955 she became a high school teacher in Schenectady, New York, where she had been working for General Electric, and in 1956 she moved to Davis Senior High School in Davis, California.

After 50 years as a teacher in Davis, Moldenhauer retired in 2006.

Contributions and recognition
Moldenhauer won the Edyth May Sliffe Award for Distinguished High School Mathematics Teaching of the Mathematical Association of America twice, in 1990 and 2001. She was also a winner of Stanford University's Frederick Emmons Terman Engineering Award, given annually by the graduating engineering students at Stanford to a distinguished high school teacher. She was a two-time winner of Harvey Mudd College's Distinguished Teaching Award. Unusually for a high school mathematics teacher, Moldenhauer has an Erdős number of 2, from her collaboration with mathematician Sherman K. Stein and mechanical engineer Anthony S. Wexler on "Trigonometry and a Wood Bowl".

Chinese (Mandarin)/Planning

Welcome to the main Planning page for the Chinese Wikibook. Unless your comment only pertains to a particular lesson, discuss your ideas here so that the overall planning discussion is not spread across many lesson pages. Initial planning and continued coordination of effort is extremely important to help reduce the need for reworking later. New issues are entered here, with the most recent at the bottom of the page. Please review the Table of Contents to see if your issue has already been raised; also check the archives (see below) in case it was discussed some time ago. Please observe the following guidelines:
 * 1) Place your question at the bottom of the list;
 * 2) Title the question (by placing the title between equals signs like this: == title ==);
 * 3) Sign your name and date (by adding four tildes: ~ ).

Chinese Wikibook Purpose and Audience
This book is intended to be a complete learning resource center for students of Mandarin Chinese. Dialects, such as Cantonese, will be covered by their own Wikibooks and be linked to in the See Also section of the Table of Contents (TOC). It should teach listening comprehension and speaking as well as reading and writing using whatever technologies are most appropriate (includes audio for text and animations for stroke orders).

The audience is the serious studier of Chinese, either at the high school or college level. Casual learners looking for a few choice phrases or unwilling to spend the time learning characters can be served adequately by the Chinese Phrasebook on Wikivoyage. Younger audiences can have age-appropriate material created for them in WikiJunior. Intermediate- or Advanced-Level modules may be added, but because of the cumulative nature of a language text (explained below), it would probably be best to focus efforts on the Introductory Level first and make continuations of the series later.

The Need for Planning
Language Wikibooks faces some unique challenges from a planning perspective. It's harder to produce a quality, integrated work in language instruction than in other subjects, like Biology or Physics. Those you can break into discrete units and still read about it—topics within the subject can be rearranged or meaningfully read even in isolation from the rest of the text.

Not so with an elementary language text. All the grammar and vocabulary that you learn is cumulative, so everything can only stack one way. Flipping ahead (or falling behind) more than a few chapters and you're lost. Order matters, so we use the a sequential naming scheme (Lesson 1, Lesson 2,...), not a topic-based one (Asking Questions, Giving Directions,...).

To avoid late-stage reorganizations that would necessarily be painful with lots of work going to waste, we should agree on a 'Lesson Roadmap' beforehand and then flesh it out. I think a Wiki can really work for this, but that the project still needs a common format and approach. A standard outline for lessons would help a lot with that, so, may I suggest that the lessons of this text each include the components outlined below.

Lesson Roadmap

 * 1) Lesson 1: Hello! (你好！) - Basic Sentences and Questions

 * 8) ** Question words (for now, only shei [谁] and na/nei [哪])
 * 9) Lesson 2: Are you busy today? (今天你忙不忙?) - Measure Words, Possession and Affirmative-Negative Questions
 * 10) * Measure Words (the most commonly used, like 个、本、张)
 * 11) * The possessive verb you [有] and its negation with mei [没]
 * 12) * More Questions! Affirmative-Negative
 * 13) ** 是不是 Questions
 * 14) ** 有没有 Questions
 * 15) Unit 3: 今天星期三 - Numbers, Days, Aux. Verbs, de [的]

Disappearance of Aeryn Gillern

Aeryn Michael John Gillern disappeared in Vienna on the evening of Monday, October 29, 2007. At the time, Gillern was working for UNIDO.

Biography
Aeryn Gillern was born on April 28, 1973, in Elmira, New York, the son of Kathryn Gilleran (born 1952). In June 1991 he graduated from Groton High School in Groton, New York. In 1997, Gillern graduated the Franciscan University of Steubenville (Ohio) with a Bachelor of Arts degree in theology. From 1997 to 1998, Gillern attended the seminary at Graz-Seckau (Austria). In 1999, Gillern received a Master of Arts with honors in Theology and Christian Ministry from Franciscan University of Steubenville. In 2003 he was appointed by United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in Vienna (Austria) as a research assistant. In 2006, he was named Mr. Gay Austria.

In September 2007, he flew home to his mother, Kathryn Gilleran, in Cortland, New York, to visit his family for ten days. His mother was planning to sell their house and move to Vienna to be with her son. On October 27, 2007, Kathy phoned her son and talked to him for the last time. He disappeared two days later.

Disappearance
His mother received a call on Halloween 2007 that Aeryn was missing. It was believed by Austrian police that he was last seen running naked from the Kaiserbründl sauna in Weihburggasse after an assumed physical altercation where one person allegedly went to the hospital although his last confirmed location was a sauna on Stephansplatz after work. Police have asserted that he may have been suicidal and jumped to his death in the Danube, a hypothesis Gillern's acquaintances do not believe; others, including his mother, argue that the investigation into his disappearance was hampered by police bias against Gillern's sexuality. The Austrian police changed their statement multiple times, as well as denying the presence of any witnesses, despite a phone call they had received from a couple only a day after Gillern was declared missing. The Austrian police initially refused to investigate the case, saying it was not its duty to investigate the disappearance of non-citizens, and refused to interview Aeryn's mother or any of Aeryn's friends after the investigation was finally launched under pressure from the United Nations and the Austrian Foreign Ministry.

Aftermath
Each year since 2008, Gillern's mother has held a vigil every October 29 outside the Kaiserbründl to commemorate the disappearance of her son. The 2011 documentary Gone: The Disappearance of Aeryn Gillern, which debuted at that year's Tribeca Film Festival, is dedicated to his mother's search for the truth behind her son's disappearance.

Please, someone keeps changing the sales of IllNaNa to 2.8 times platinum but there is no proof of this, they just want to bolster her sales to look better. According to RIAA.com (which is OFFICIAL) she is only certified one time. If she sold more than that, her record company has not purchased the certification from RIAA (which is how it works). So she may have sold enough to be 2x platinum but she has not been CERTIFIED.

http://www.selfpower.com/runes/images/runes1.gif

Runes are characters in the ancient alphabet used by Anglo-Saxon peoples. Runic inscriptions have been found all over western Europe, on stone monuments and on such objects as metal spearpoints and amulets; the greatest concentrations are in England and Scandinavia. The runic alphabet, called futhark after the sounds of the initial letters, originally had 25 characters.

In English versions the number was eventually increased to 33, whereas in Scandinavia it was reduced to 16 and later expanded to 26. It is believed that runes are derived from a northern Etruscan alphabet used among Italic tribes in the eastern Alps, and that they were developed in the 2nd or 3rd century AD by a Germanic people living in the region of modern Bohemia. The earliest surviving inscription is from the mid-3rd century.

http://www.selfpower.com/runes/images/runes2.gif

Runes were in wide use from the 4th to the 12th century. A form of runes was used in Scandinavia throughout the Middle Ages as an alternative to the Latin alphabet used by the clergy, and runes survived in occasional use in rural Sweden at least until the 17th century. Runes were also used to augment the Latin alphabet for certain sounds, notably the thorn (þ, th) used in Anglo-Saxon England and modern Iceland.

Wednesday, 19 January, 2000, 18:04 GMT Ancient alphabet enters cyber age

The alphabet used in Ethiopia and Eritrea is Africa's oldest. Laeke Mariam Demessie reports on the efforts to get the 276-letter script to work on computers.

Ethiopic script has been in use since 100 BC. It is the only indigenous African alphabet still in use today.

But it was only in 1991 that the Ethiopian Science and Technology Commission (ESTC) first displayed the Ethiopic alphabet on a computer.

The greatest breakthrough was to come up with the idea Programmer Mesfin Belay

The reaction of one European was: "It is impossible - how did you do it?" recalls Dr Nega Alemayehu, a lecturer in information technology at Addis Ababa University.

But as Ethiopian computer programmer Mesfin Belay points out: "The greatest breakthrough was not in developing an Ethiopic alphabet programme or software, it was rather to come up with the idea.

"Just as you have software in Japanese, Korean or Arabic, there was no reason why one cannot develop Ethiopic script."

Quicker than handwriting

Daniel Admasse, an Ethiopian who studied in Sweden, claims to have been the first person to come up with the idea of computerising "fidel", as Ethiopians call their alphabet.

Three challenges Designing the fonts Keyboard layout Printing

While studying in Sweden he helped produce materials for an Ethiopian studies conference. Some of the conference texts were in Ge'ez, the ancient language which is the ancestor of modern Ethiopian languages. But he found that in Sweden he had no means of printing Ethiopic script.

"So the burden of writing by hand in Ge'ez letters and reducing them using a camera fall on me," Mr Daniel recalls.

"My handwriting was bad. Because of that incident I said to myself why shouldn't I develop an Amharic computer programme?".

"I started working on it in 1982 and developed an Ethiopic WordPerfect version 2.01 in one year".

Programmes develop

By 1991, one could take computer courses in Amharic even if one didn't know English Programmer Daniel Admasse Mr Daniel returned to Ethiopia in 1987, and set up a team of computer programmers at the ESTC. There they developed Ethiopic software ranging from a disc operating system to a desktop publishing programme. "So we had a complete set of Ethiopic computer programmes in Fidel and the Amharic language by 1991, which meant one could take computer courses in Amharic even if one didn't know English."

Mr Daniel has since developed an Ethiopic version of WordPerfect 6.0.

He says the first challenge was to design the fidel characters. This was done using a computer programme known as font manager.

Lots of letters

The second challenge was to put the 276 characters onto the English language keyboard designed to accommodate only 26 letters.

Each character in the Ethiopic alphabet represents a syllable: a combination of consonant plus vowel. There are 33 consonants and seven vowels.

So 33 of the keys are assigned to the different consonant sounds, which are used in combination with keys such as "control" and "alt" to create the vowel-consonant combinations.

"The English keyboard was made to recognise only 26 characters, but to make it recognise 276 Ethiopic characters the computer programmers have to override the rules in the computer," Mr Daniel explains.

"This was made possible by using the keyboard handler program."

Ethiopic characters also have to be attuned to American Standard Coding for Information Interchange (ASCII) which assigns letters to the numerical codes which the computer works with.

The third challenge was printing. The printing of Amharic characters was complicated in the earlier generations of printers, Mr Daniel says, but has become simpler with more recent laserjet printers.

Standardisation headaches

Therefore any Ethiopic alphabet software is a package which deals with the designing of characters, keyboard layout and printer set-up.

However efficient and fast a keyboard layout is, it is useless unless accepted as a standard IT lecturer Dr Nega Alemayehu Some Ethiopian computer engineers in Canada have also been developing Ethiopic software independently, out of a sense of patriotism, Dr Nega says. But the enthusiastic rush to develop software led to a new problem: lack of standardisation. Today there are at least 35 Ethiopic software products available, each with its own character set, encoding system, typeface names, and keyboard layout.

"However efficient and fast a keyboard layout is, it is useless unless accepted as a standard by users," Dr Nega argues.

The lack of standardisation also makes it difficult to transfer documents from one computer to another - including e-mail.

The problems of Ethiopic computing have resulted in the creation of the Ethiopian Computer Standard Association (ECOSA), of which Dr Nega is president, and the North American-based Committee for Ethiopian Computing (CEC).

The two groups are working on standardisation of the Ethiopic script on the computer.

"We have come together to face the challenge," says Dr Nega, who is optimistic about finding a solution.

"The sooner we standardise Ethiopic script computing, the faster we hop on the global information superhighway."

ARE THE ANCIENT ALPHABET SYMBOLS SCHEMATICS? PLANETARY GRID

The Morphogenetic Grid - The Builder of Planetary Destiny

The subject of who influences the Morphogenetic Grid is known as the science of Morphic Energy which has been the province and heritage of the "Ancient Wisdom and Mystery Schools". Protected and encrypted in the symbolism of Sacred Geometry, this knowledge has been reserved for the "Awakened" or "Initiated".

As these schools have always been dedicated to the study of consciousness and the nature of reality, it is their duty to make known the unknown and to pioneer and communicate other states of reality. Integrating the knowledge thus learned and turning it into an evolutionary educational program is an equally important part of their functions.

All of this would be fine except for one fact. Throughout history, the mystery schools have deviated into polarized groups at odds with each other in order to control the process of evolution. This has given rise to many different belief systems and religious constructs responsible for the guidance of moral conduct. The resulting conflict has generated war and indifference.

In such a context, belief systems are created with powerful events such as visions of the Virgin Mary, the resurrection and ascension of Christ, or visions of prophecy. Without even analyzing the exact nature of these miraculous occurrences, it is obvious that an incredible amount of dogma has been generated concerning them. What these miracles or prophecies imply for the future are substantiated only by faith with explicit doctrines designed to maintain them in our civilizations. People are not encouraged to discover and learn the truth but only to believe. "Good Deed Doers", swept away by their own convictions of faith, solicit others and whole generations are born into illusions of reality with fear and control buttons efficiently installed. Finally, prophecies are created to herd the many into subscribing to a particular creation of reality whatever it may be.

As there are many different mystery schools and religions, the numbers of people subscribing to each belief system or particular prophecy will have much to do with engineering the final outcome in the future. This is largely influenced by the power of thought feeding the grid. In such a manner, the greatest numbers that have invested into a prophecy will often prevail.

Based upon the above information, it should be clear that we are entirely capable of feeding the grid and determining the course of our own destiny. Therefore, evolution is in our own hands and our task becomes to take back that which we have lost. How do we do that. First, by opening what doors are available to us.

In Australia, this alphabet is known as The Panaramitee Tradition

In Australia, this alphabet has been found on many locations and adheres to the grammar and structure of the other known petroglyphs on the other two continents. Ironically, instead of considering the similarity to other archaeological sites around the globe as evidence of a global culture, the scientific community in Australia has denied the possibility that this is any type of "system" at all, either writing or storyboard.

The concept that these odd shapes somehow formed a system of communication was first put forth by Lesley Maynard. Maynard received overwhelming resistance to his assertion and he finally discontinued his efforts. By the late 1980s, there was virtually no interest in these petroglyphs. In 1995, Bednarik reported the results of his experiment to see how readily the Panaramitee Tradition could be recognized. He sent drawings and pictures of several examples of petroglyphs to various rock art scholars around the globe. Ninety-eight (98%) percent wrongly identified petroglyphs from the United States, Africa and Europe as being Panaramitee Tradition. Bednarik summarized as follows,

"It is either not possible to identify the Panaramitee style, or... this is a world-wide style."

http://www.viewzone.com/panar.gif

The map above shows the myriad locations of this style. It has been noted that this style is also accompanied by petroglyphs and pictographs of strange humanoid beings with large eyes. There are also reportedly collections of carved handprints, similar to those recorded in the canyons of Monument Valley and in Southeast Colorado. Dr. Harris has not reported these types of phenomenon in the Sinai.

Ancient Egyptians and the Futhark Alphabet

The Futhark Alphabet, which is essentially a set of glyphs representing sounds and ideas, is derived from the Hieroglyphs of the remote Ancient Egyptians. The term "Hieroglyph" was coined by the Ancient Greeks to describe the "Sacred Writings" of the Ancient Egyptians. Hieroglyphs of Ancient Egypt, which represented sounds and ideas, were considered "Sacred" not only in the religious sense, but also because they conveyed a "Secret Meaning".

Similarly the glyphs of the earliest Teutonic Futhark Alphabet, conveyed a "Secret Meaning". This is revealed in the term used to describe them ... "Runes".

The word "Rune" is derived from "Run" (pronounced roon), an Anglo-Saxon word meaning "Secret" or "Mystery".

Also, perhaps not surprisingly, the Latin word "Runa" translates as "Dart", which is descriptive of the Rune writing style, adapted from the Greek, to suit carving.

The Runes are referred to as the Futhark Alphabet because f-u-th-a-r-k are considered to be the first six glyphs of that alphabet. Interestingly however, these first six glyphs are also translated as f-ur-th-o-r-c.

Ogham- the Celtic oracular alphabet Related Resources • Runes • Druidry • Celtic symbols • Druid symbols From Other Guides • Viking Runes and runestones • Runes and Rune Magic

The Celtic Ogham alphabet dates from the fourth century. The alphabet is named for Ogmos, the Celtic god of knowledge. Ogmos was associated with the Gaulish Ogmios and occasionally the Greek hermes.

The alphabet consists of twenty letters, each named for a different tree believed sacred to the Druids. Each letter is made up of one to five straight or angled lines incised on a straight base line. Because the number of letters, and the number of lines that make up each letter, some scholars have theorized that the ogham may have originated as a system of hand signs. Examples of Ogham writing have been found all over the British Isles, and even as far away as Spain and Portugal. All surviving examples exist as stone carvings, usually on tombstones and road markers.

Although it is commonly used by modern Druids and other NeoPagans as a divination system, there is no real relationship between modern and historical divination systems. When used as a divination method, the letters are usually notched into straight twigs and used much like runes. In this case, I've provided a print version (MS Word) you can print and cut into small cards if you wish to try a simpler way of divining with ogham: A B

Dangatar Köpekow

Dangatar Abdyeviç Köpekow (12 May 1933 – 21 September 2011) was a Turkmen general and the former minister of defense of Turkmenistan and the last chairman of the Turkmen KGB.

Security career
Köpekow was born in Ashgabat in 1933. He worked as a junior operative and operative with the First Department of the KGB at the Council of Ministers of the Turkmen SSR. Then he was transferred to the First Main Directorate of the KGB of the Soviet Union (external intelligence). In 1968, he was sent to Iran to work as an assistant to the KGB resident in Mashhad. In 1971, he was deported back to the USSR. Twenty years later, in March 1991, he was appointed the chairman of the KGB of the Turkmen SSR.

Defence Minister

He had a great influence on the president of Turkmenistan, Saparmyrat Nyýazow.

On 12 September 1998, a terrorist attack was committed in Ashgabat, which resulted in the death of seven people. On 17 September, Köpekow was removed from his post, stripped of his rank, and appointed head of the Department of Law Enforcement and Military Agencies of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan.

Nikolo-Korelsky Monastery

Nikolo-Korelsky Monastery (Николо-Корельский монастырь) is a Russian Orthodox monastery in Severodvinsk (Russia).

This monastery is believed to have been founded by St. Euphemius, an Orthodox missionary in the Karelian lands. In 1419, the Swedes burnt down the Nikolo-Korelsky Monastery. The abbey stood in ruins until 1471, when two sons of Marfa Boretskaya were killed by a vicious storm and their bodies were recovered on the beach near the monastery twelve days later. At the urging of Boretskaya, the monastery was restored and her sons were buried there.

On 24 August 1553, a ship of Richard Chancellor reached the salt-mining settlement of Nenoksa, which is still famous for its traditional wooden architecture. The British sailors proceeded to the Nikolo-Korelsky Monastery, where they were surprised to find a community of "sailors in soutanes" and a pier large enough to accommodate several ships. The main church of this extraordinary establishment was dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the holy patron of sailors; hence, the whole White Sea became known in the 16th-century English maps as "St. Nicholas Bay". The Nikolo-Karelsky Monastery flourished after the establishment of the Muscovy Company, as the bulk of their trade passed through the local harbour. In late 1613, the complex was captured and looted by Polish-Lithuanian vagabonds, the Lisowczycy. In August 1618, the harbour was visited by John Tradescant the elder, who conducted a survey of an island situated opposite the monastery.

The extant buildings of the monastery were constructed at the close of the Muscovite period. The five-domed cathedral of St. Nicholas was built in 1670–74, preceded by the Assumption church (1664–67), to which it is joined by a gallery. Several decades later, the walls and towers were built of timber; the best preserved of these towers was transported by the Soviets to Kolomenskoe, Moscow, where it may be seen to this day.

After the Revolution, the Monastery was abolished. The 17th-century buildings of the Nikolo-Korelsky monastery were adapted and are still used for shipbuilding purposes.

JA hoshi etymology
I restored the following:

This reverted the content below:

 From, ultimate derivation. Theories include: All four share, as stars resembled small balls of fire, and likely evolved into hoshi by sound change. Possible cognates include 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬.

In order, here are the flaws with the content purportedly sourced from Gogen-Yurai:

 * 1) Ancient ho + ishi would likely have produced modern hishi.  See the postulated phonetic development of modern hi from ancient ho + i (ancient nominal particle).
 * 2) The change from shiro to just shi has no precendent that I'm aware of.  Shiro and shira occur as s, but  never appears as just shi.
 * 3) Ancient ho + ki *might* possibly form modern hochi, as seen in Okinawa where ki has become chi.  However, the palatalization of ki in mainland Japanese has not proceeded as far as, and hochi is not hoshi anyway.
 * 4) hoso + hi would produce modern hosobi.  There is no precedent for this to produce hoshi.

The "Water Classic" is also mentioned on the EN WP at the [[:w:Commentary on the Water Classic]] page.  From the two WP articles, we learn that the "Water Classic" was authored by Sang Qin, i.e. 桑欽 -- explaining where the 桑 came from in the alternative title.

 * As opposed to the overreaction against SOPA, this Russian legislation actually is dangerous and is a bald-faced attempt to curtail free speech that the Kremlin doesn't like. Kudos to ru.wp for the blackout. Magog the Ogre (talk) 12:08, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

 * It's difficult to understand another country's politics. And the sentence "In an echo of the worldwide blacking-out of the English Wikipedia on 18 January as a protest against two bills before the US Congress ... the proposed new law introduces a mechanism to block IP-addresses and DNS records." looks like it's garbling together two different ideas. -- Seth Finkelstein (talk) 13:21, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I hope it's fixed now; thanks for pointing out poor sentence construction, Seth. The breaking news was put together mighty fast to make the publication deadline. Tony   (talk)  15:04, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * All WMF project deal to some extend with commercialization (for example articles on companies or medications on Wikipedia). A travel guide will be no different. There are some commercial links that are important and some that are simple spam and it takes common sense to distinguish between the two. Wikitravel is also currently without the benefits of the many tools we at Wikipedia have to help us try to achieve an appropriate balance. As mentioned I see this as a great opportunity for the Wikimedia movement not only to expand our numbers but to play a role in bringing two communities of editors back together. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (please reply on my talk page) 13:26, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Interesting report. Regarding the Wikidata logo, to avoid giving any hint of preference to one logo, I would have preferred that the Signpost include all of the logos or none of them. The Signpost could have included a single image with icon-sized versions of each of the logos. Pine✉ 19:37, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * "Commercialization fears unaddressed"?? Did anyone attempt to raise these "fears" with the community before splashing them all over the Signpost and pretty much stating that they're being ignored?  Powers T 20:57, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I would like to say that it is not a 'Wikitravel proposal', but rather a proposal for a travel guide. As you mention correctly, Wikivoyage is free from any form of advertising. This will also be the case for the new travel guide, in fact, as is holds true for any other Wikimedia project.--Aschmidt (talk) 00:42, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I was a bit surprised with the titles about the travel guide proposal, since I didn’t see major concerns in the proposal as these titles suggest it (speaking as a non-native speaker, when you see "down" or "fears" you expect very bad news). ~ Seb35 [^_^]  [fr] 07:29, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The reason it's being called the "Wikitravel proposal" is because it is a proposal for the WMF to support a duplicative fork of an existing, functional and hugely successful Wiki: Wikitravel.org. And that fork would be not just a duplication of all Wikitravel content, but a wholesale shanghai of the entire existing administrator community, who (understandably or not) would prefer to work under the auspices of the WMF umbrella, whether or not that turns out to be to the benefit of the WMF, the seven million monthly Wikitravel users, or the admins themselves. Thus this proposal is the farthest thing from the creation of a new travel wiki; it is the forking and fracturing of Wikitravel.org.IBobi (talk) 22:39, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * How surprising that the "community manager" at Internet Brands would say such a thing. The Wikitravel folks didn't just get up one day and decide they wanted to join the WMF, it's the result of a long period of neglect and inattention from IB.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 09:32, 13 July 2012 (UTC).

Sigmund Hemmel

Sigmund Hemmel (1520–1565) was a German composer, tenor, and Kapellmeister in Stuttgart, Württemberg. He was said to have used a "large polished slate stone for composing." He was director of the Hofkapelle Stuttgart from 1552 to 1554. He is perhaps best known for his Das Ganz Psalter Davids, a "collection of four-voiced settings of chorales with melody in the tenor voice according to the old custom" published posthumously by Osiander in Tübingen in 1569.

Lake Eloise

Lake Eloise is a large natural freshwater lake on the south side of Winter Haven, Florida. It is part of the southern Chain of Lakes. With a 1,174 acre surface area, it is one of the larger lakes in Polk County, Florida. Lake Eloise has a somewhat oval shape and has a large cove on its south side. It borders Lake Summit on its northeast and it almost borders Lake Lulu on its northwest. Lake Eloise is mostly surrounded by residential areas. However, the northern half of its eastern shore is occupied by Legoland Florida, which was once Cypress Gardens, a large area theme park. Some citrus groves border the lake on its west side. Eloise Loop Road passes by the south end of the cove on the lake's south side.

Lake Eloise was first surveyed in 1849, by Dr John Westcott. He named the lake after Eloise Moody, daughter of Polk County pioneer Benjamin F. Moody. The lake appears in the first U.S. Government survey of the area, published in 1950.

Cypress Gardens opened in 1936 and soon had various attractions, including ones that had a connection to Lake Eloise. In the 1930s the park had water shows with water ski performances. Two grandstands were constructed to allow spectators to see the shows. The botanical garden, on the north side of the park, eventually had channels cleared for small boats to travel with visitors to view the plants. A large decorative pool in the shape of Florida was constructed just on shore and in the western edge of the botanical garden. Also, a large paddle boat was refurbished and dubbed the Cypress Belle. The Cypress Belle allowed park visitors to cruise on Lake Eloise. Also, at times the Belle was used for dinner cruises. Through the years various television shows and movies filmed at Cypress Gardens and many times filming made use of Lake Eloise. After 2000 Cypress Gardens went through various major changes to maintain its visitor base and finally closed in fall 2009.

In 2010 the old Cypress Gardens park was purchased with the intention of transforming it into a Legoland park. In February 2011 it was opened as Legoland Florida. While the paddle boat and boat rides through the botanical garden were not restored, the area of the old water shows was named Pirate Cove and a new ski and stunt show was started.

Although Lake Eloise is a large lake, there is very little public access to it. There is no public access from the shore, as all shoreline is on private property. The public can access the lake by boat via the Chain of Lakes canal system. Lake Eloise is linked by canal directly to Lake Lulu, Lake Summit and Lake Winterset. The nearest public boat ramp is on Lake Summit and the canal system links Lake Eloise to a number of area lakes. Fishing is allowed from boats. As there is no shore access, there are no public swimming areas. Lake Eloise contains bluegill, crappie, and largemouth bass.

Etymology
Klobásov—"a place where sausages (klobása, in dialects also kolbása, klbása) are made". The village was famous for its slaughterhouse. Alternativelly, something curved (a street, a creek or a village, the village was founded by the bend of the creek). Kolbasa, Kolbazo 1548 (the first written mention), Kolbaso 1773, Kolbásow 1808; in Hungarian also Kolbaszó until 1899, after renamed to Végaszó.

History
Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, Kolbasov was part of Zemplén County within the Kingdom of Hungary. In 1939, it was for a short time part of the Slovak Republic. As a result of the Slovak–Hungarian War of 1939, it was from 1939 to 1944 again part of Hungary. On 26 October 1944, the Red Army entered Kolbasov and it was once again part of Czechoslovakia.

Several Jews were murdered here by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) on 8 December 1945, the last night of Chanuka.

Talk:Puzzles/Logic puzzles/Knights, Knaves & Spies II

If C answers, "No", then there is no contradiction in saying that A is the spy, B is the knave, and C is the knight. Therefore, it will not be possible to prove C is the spy.

If, however, C answers, "Yes," C can be proved the spy:

If C is telling the truth, then B is the spy. Then A and C would have to both be the knight, since they both tell the truth. But only one can be the knight. So C must then be lying.

B cannot in any case be the knight, since he would be lying. Since C is lying, too, B is not the spy, and so B is the knave. Thus C herself cannot be the knave, but neither can she be the knight, since she is lying. Therefore, if C answers, "Yes", C is the spy.

Am I right?

Eric119 22:33, 7 Oct 2003 (UTC)

 * Perfect, Eric! Great explantation. Thomas

Almost. Unfortunately, those are not the only two possible answers. C knows that he/she is the spy. The knight and knave do not necessarily know which of the others is. Therefore, C may answer "I don't know," and the judge will be unsure whether A or C is the spy. Avery

Another possibility would be A: Knight, B: Spy, C: Knave. Cyp 13:59, 18 Oct 2003 (UTC)

This is incorrect, as is the given answer to this logic problem.

The statement above says "Then A and C would have to both be the knight, since they both tell the truth." You forgot that the spy can tell the truth or lie. Look at it this way:

A: I am not the spy.

B: I am the spy.

C: I am not the spy.

We know that B is the knave, because the knave will always say he is the spy (he must lie). We cannot distinguish A from C, since a truth-telling knight, in this instance, looks exactly like a lying spy.

Now, let's try the other:

A: I am not the spy.

B: I am the spy.

C: I am the spy.

In this instance, we know that A is the knight, since the knight must always say he is not the spy (he must tell the truth), We cannot distinguish B from C, since a lying knave, in this instance, looks exactly like a truth-telling spy.

Eric B.

 * I think the puzzle intends C to answer either "yes" or "no", not "I am the spy" or "I am not the spy". In this case, "yes" or "no" is a statement of whether or not B is the spy, not C, and the given solution remains correct.  If C can say whatever he wants, he could say something like "I don't know" or "Go jump in the lake" or just remain silent and whether or not he was the spy would be trivially undecidable...  Perhaps the puzzle could be revised to reflect this?

Seminar in Tradecraft and HumInt/Moscow Rules/Moscow Rule 19

 Moscow Rule number 19: Make sure they can anticipate your destination. While this seems to make little sense at first blush, one must think of it in relation to an agent in a persona. An agent must assume surveillance. The essence of this rule is: don't give them a reason to probe deeper - make them believe you're still a sleeper. Don't visibly vary your routine.

 Examples  Student Commentary on This Rule
 * If an agent is posing as a concert violinist, he must be seen to practice, go to rehearsal, buy items related to the repair and maintenance of his violin. If an agent, posing in this manner, plans a drop or meeting, this activity cannot be seen to be out of the orinary; the agent must therefore assure surveillance that it hasn't missed anything. He must show up for practice on time even though he has engaged in other activities along the way.

Tuesdee Testa

Tuesdee Testa ( Shipton; born 1941) is an American former jockey who was the first female jockey to race at Santa Anita Park and was one of the first woman to win a race at a major thoroughbred race track in the United States. Testa's historic win occurred on March 1, 1969, in the third race of the day at Santa Anita. She rode Buzz On, the second mount of her career, and won the race by a neck in a photo-finish to defeat Tony Diaz astride Just Aime. She ran her first race at Santa Anita the week before, and finished last in a field of 12. Historically, it was still a milestone for female jockeys and Santa Anita Park, but her win is the one that will live in the annals of racing history: decades later, her breakthrough feat was being cited by newspapers as a milestone in sports history.

Testa received a standing ovation from a crowd of 45,000 for her historic first win as a licensed jockey in California. Her emotion during that historic moment in time reflects in her smile as she waved her crop to the crowd while sitting astride Buzz On, the horse she rode to victory. The photograph was captured by Santa Anita Park and widely circulated in a press release by UPI to member news sources. The photograph not only represents Testa's victory, it represents a substantial victory for women around the world as a reminder of the barrier, now broken, that once barred females from obtaining a jockey license and being allowed to race on major racetracks.

Male jockeys dominated the sport of racing, and many saw women as inferior and incapable of riding a powerful race horse; many expressed concern over the safety of other jockeys during a race. They rejected their female counterparts and expressed their opposition by boycotting races. The New Yorker longtime horse racing columnist, Audax Minor, wrote about Testa's race at Aqueduct soon after her Santa Anita triumph. Riding Bargain Counter and approaching an opening in the far turn to take the lead, "the boys did not pull out and let her through — as they sometimes did for [Eddie] Arcaro — but closed the gap", requiring her to go far outside and finish well back. There were also occasions when spectators voiced their disapproval of female jockeys during the post parade, but the women did not relent. They chose instead to work with people who believed in them and helped them find ways to achieve their goals.

Early beginnings
Born Helen Shipton from Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Tuesdee was the name given to her by her grandmother. Testa grew up next door to horse trainer Everett W. King, described by journalist Jim Murray (1969) as a "crusty old party". Testa worked as an exercise rider for King but had her sights set on becoming a jockey. She barrel raced throughout her childhood.

The late 1960s was a time in US history when the doors were closed to female jockeys. The Jockeys’ Guild issued a statement expressing their concerns and reasons for their opposition to females competing against male jockeys. Nick Jemas, the Guild's national managing director at the time and a former jockey himself, said in reference to the "cool judgment and skill of a fellow jockey" during a race, "A woman's emotional makeup might betray her at a time like that. It could also imperil the lives of the other jockeys, not to mention her own." If a female jockey entered a race, the male jockeys would stage a boycott. Spectators also expressed their disapproval for female jockeys by booing and yelling insults as they rode onto the track during the rose parade.

Women found various ways to overcome the obstacles that prevented them from receiving a jockey's license. They worked hard, and sought support by networking with people who could help them on their difficult journey to acceptance. Some even sued or threatened to sue for discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Attitudes changed as more females received their jockey's license and rode to the winner's circle, proving their ability to be formidable competitors.

On March 2, 1969, "The crowd gave Mrs. Testa a tremendous ovation when she came back to the winner's circle" after winning the third race at Santa Anita Park riding Buz On, paying $9.20 to win, $6.00 to place and $3.80 to show. The year 2019 marks 50 years since the doors first opened to allow female jockeys to compete against male jockeys on major racetracks in the US. Female jockeys comprise only eight percent of the Jockeys' Guild membership.

Testa became the first woman jockey to ride a race at Monmouth Park in New Jersey when she rode Verbosity in a race on June 6, 1969.

Dark Mirage
At age 25, Testa was the regular exercise rider for Dark Mirage (1965), a small, dark brown thoroughbred filly referred to as "pint-sized" and affectionately known as an "equine prankster" which earned her the nickname "Tiny Tigress". Testa also fed, walked and groomed the filly, and became quite attached to her. As a three-year-old, Dark Mirage began the season with a defeat at Aqueduct, finishing fourth behind the winning horse ridden by Ron Turcotte; however, that defeat led to a remarkable turn-around and nine consecutive wins, including eight stakes races.

Dark Mirage was the 1968 Champion Three-year-old Filly. She set track records, winning the Acorn Stakes by 6 lengths, Mother Goose by 10 lengths and Coaching Club American Oaks by 12 lengths, which comprised the 3 legs of the American Triple Tiara of Thoroughbred Racing, formerly known as the Filly Triple Crown or New York Filly Triple Tiara that was originally hosted at Belmont Park (1957-2002 and 2007–2009). Her clocked time in the Acorn matched that of the Belmont track record at the time. Her finish in the CC American Oaks was the fastest ever clocked for that track. Steve Cady with the New York Times stated, "…When she reached the finish, ears cocked and neck bowed, she was galloping along with no more apparent effort than a saddle horse out for leisurely bridle-path canter."

As a four-year-old, Dark Mirage ran the Santa Maria Handicap marking her 10th win. Her next race was the 1969 Santa Margarita Invitational Handicap. Bion Abbott of the Los Angeles Times described trainer Everett King's position going into that race as leading with "a couple of queens in his hand", referring to Dark Mirage, and Testa, who he described as "5-foot 2, eyes of blue, 35-23-36, a trim 112 pounds and the first feminine jockey in Santa Anita history." He wrote that Testa's jockey career at that moment was less important than what she had accomplished preparing Dark Mirage for that day's mile and one-eighth race. Unfortunately, it was the last race for Dark Mirage. She dislocated the sesamoid bone in her right front ankle and was retired with career earnings of $362,788. The surgeries to repair her injury were unsuccessful and in 1969, when she was no longer able to stand, she was euthanized. Dark Mirage was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1974.

Personal life and later years
At the time of her historic Santa Anita victory, Testa was married and had a 2-year-old daughter. Testa raced competitively as a jockey for two years and had about 100 wins. She eventually settled in a rural area near Davie, Florida, where she was one of a group of 54 volunteers riding on horseback with a Crime Watch Mounted Patrol in 1986. Testa then worked as a trainer at Remington Park in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, after it opened in 1988.

Atlantic pomfret

The Atlantic pomfret (Brama brama), also known as Ray's bream, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a pomfret of the family Bramidae. It is found in the Atlantic, Indian, and South Pacific Oceans, at depths down to 1000 m.

Its length is between 40 and 100 cm. In South Africa, where it is a common bycatch of the hake fishery, it is generally known and sold as "angelfish", although it is not a true marine angelfish.

The Atlantic pomfret has very significant migration patterns which greatly depend on the temperature of intermediate waters, but are also affected by secondary reactions from density dependence and the climatic conditions of the surface. Although the species was first recorded in Irish waters in 1843, it was still regarded as scarce up until the late 1950s, but between the 1960s and 1970s large numbers were recorded.

General Biology/Tissues and Systems/Lymphatic System

Lymphatic system: part of the immune system, a one-way, or open, system. Takes up interstitial fluid not taken up by venules.

Lymphatic structures: 1. lymphatic capillaries 2. lymphatic vesicles 3. lymph nodes 4. lymphatic organs (spleen and thymus)

Lymph: movement in mammals through one-way valves, similar to blood movement in veins. (Some non-mammals have lymphatic hearts of unknown embryonic origin. Frogs and salamanders have several.) Lymph rejoins cardiovascular system into a large vein near the heart via single large thoracic duct.

As lymph passes through system, passes lymphocytes, second part of immune system.

Heart: pumps blood, design varies between animals. In adult mammal,four chambers form two separate circulations 1. pulmonary circulation to and from lungs and 2. systemic circulation to and from tissues of body.

Everything in the heart comes in pairs: 2 atria, 2 ventricles (left and right).

Diagrams usually drawn as though animal were on its back.

Pattern of blood flow through heart: blood returning from major veins (vena cava) enters right atrium, contraction there delivers blood to right ventricle through a tricuspid valve, one of atrial ventricular valves (AV valve). Contraction of right ventricle drives blood through semi lunar valve into pulmonary circuit and to lungs.Blood return to heart in pulmonary veins, is oxygenated. Goes to left atrium, which contracts and delivers blood to left ventricleby way of aortic semi-lunar valve, then goes to systemic circulation.

Both atria and ventricles contract in unison, left is more powerful than right (to all system vs. just lungs).

Systole: heart contraction, diastole: heart relaxed

Timing of heart contraction: ventricles rebound to relaxed shape (diastole), and semi-lunar valves close. Both atria(singular: atrium) fill with blood coming from pulmonary and systemic circulations.Pressure rises in the atria and blood begins to move into the ventricles.The atria then contract, forcing more blood into the ventricles. There is a pause, then ventricles contract. This raises ventricle pressure, atrio-ventricular(AV) valves shut and semi-lunar valves open, forcing blood from the left ventricle into the major arteries and from the right ventricle into the aorta.

Control for this action doesn’t rely on nervous stimulation, has intrinsic rhythmicity, called myogenic. This is the case in mammal as well as in mollusk hearts. Other animals have neurogenic hearts that rely on nervous stimulation for heart action, originating in the cardiac ganglion.

The rhythmicity of mammalian heart relies on the sino-atrial (SA)node, or pacemaker. This is a phylogenic (based on evolutionary history) remnant of an early vertebrate heart that had one more chamber than modern hearts.

How the heart contracts: waves of depolarization start in SA node and spread through atria. Connectile tissue pauses the spread of depolarization at the atrial ventricular node. Signal continued by bundle branches to lower ventricle, begins to stimulate heart to contract. Contraction starts at bottom of heart at heart apex,then signals spread through heart.

Medulla (in the brain) controls autonomic nervous system. (The medulla is part of the brain, is continuous with the spinal cord, and controls involuntary actions of the body). Sympathetic cardiac acceleratorconnects to spinal cord, uses norepinephrine to signal. Parasympathetic cardio-inhibitory center reaches heart through Vagus nerve, usesacetylcholine to signal. Hyperpolarizes membrane to inhibit heart contraction. (Autonomic nervous system: two parts working in contra to control from both sides.) Dominant effect here is inhibitory. If we cut Vagus nerve, heart rate promptly rises about 25 bpm.
