Henrietta A. Bingham

Henrietta A. Bingham (, Burrington; December 29, 1841 - February 18, 1877) was a 19th-century American writer, editor, and preceptress. She succeeded Phebe Ann Coffin Hanaford as the editor of the Ladies' Repository and the Myrtle, and was the last editor of the Ladies' Repository.

Bingham was born in 1841. On January 1, 1843, her mother died, leaving the children to the care of their elder half-sister, Rosalie. Bingham was precocious, easily mastering her school studies. The summer she was fourteen, she taught school in the Belden district and at sixteen, attended school at South Woodstock, Vermont. Many of her school compositions were written in verse, "Farewell Sixteen," "The Island of Dreams," and "My Mother," being of special mention.

On leaving the academy, she spent three years in Boston, and in 1864, went to St. Lawrence University as preceptress. The next year, she wrote the prize story "Mignonette," competing with such writers as Caroline Mehitable Fisher Sawyer and Jane Lippitt Patterson. In the spring of 1866, she married Rev. Henry Bingham, of Columbus, Wisconsin, who died the following autumn.

In 1869, Bingham became editor of the Ladies' Repository, of the Universalist Publishing House of Boston. She was marked for succession with Sawyer, Julia Kinney Scott, Sarah Carter Edgarton Mayo, Eliza Ann Bacon Lathrop, and Nancy T. Munroe. During the five years that she conducted that magazine, she developed a notable literary record. Her specialty was verse, but she also demonstrated ability with essay, editorial, short story, and sketch. One of her best poems was "L'Envoi," a midnight meditation on the passing year; "The Human Side" and "The Divine Side," were her greatest work, easily placing her in the front rank with writers of her time. In 1875, her failing health compelled her to give up writing and return to her old home town, where she died in 1877.

Early life
Henrietta Adelaide Burrington was born on December 29, 1841. She was the youngest daughter of the second wife of Asahel Burrington of Caledonia County, Vermont. By the first marriage of the father there were three children, Rosalie Martha (Hall); Lindley Murray, a Universalist clergyman; and John Quincy Adams. By the second marriage, with Louisa Chapin Rice, there were four children, Howard Rice; Lorenzo Lester, Professor at Dean Academy; Solon Orville, a physician, who was the nearest brother in age; and Henrietta, the youngest.

One year old when her mother died, Bingham became close to her half-sister. She was gentle and easily managed, and all went well for eight years, after which the father married. Soon after, the half-sister married and left home. Bingham never ceased pining for this sister.

Education
Bingham learned to read before she was five. She was always classed with those older than herself, and invariably stood at the head of her class. It was quite often galling to her older brothers, who prided themselves on good scholarship, to have Bingham in their classes, and especially so when she had succeeded in solving some difficult problem, or unraveling some knotty construction in John Milton's Paradise Lost, which they had failed to fathom. When a child, she was a great reader, and eagerly read every book available to her. Indeed, reading was her greatest fault in those days, and she probably received more correction for reading while at work than for all other offenses put together; the greatest complaint of her step-mother was that "her head was always in a book." Her opportunities for reading were not great. Her father, being a farmer, had but few books, and there was no public library in the town; so her only resort was borrowing from her neighbors, which she indulged in quite freely.

At the age of 14, she taught at the Belden School. She was quite fond of teaching at this time in her life, and devoted a part of every year (the summer) to that work, until her school education was finished. It was during these years that she began to develop a literary talent. She amused herself during her leisure hours by writing little stories and sending them to her schoolmates to read, and occasionally wrote a little poem for their amusement. She was very shy in regard to these productions, and would never let any member of the family see them.

At 16, she left home to attend Green Mountain College, at South Woodstock, Vermont. Her oldest brother, as he became of age, had taken a portion of his first year's earnings and gone there to school. He sent home such glowing accounts of the school, and entertained such high hopes of a liberal education, that Henrietta began to lay similar plans for her future. When the second brother was making arrangements to go to South Woodstock, she urged him to take her with him; and as she was not happy at home, and her father thought he could not help her any, her brothers determined to educate her, and she was sent to South Woodstock. Here she spent the happiest days of her life. She was a careful and earnest student, and took great delight in her work. Her early love for reading was here allowed full scope. Her progress was rapid and thorough, and she often astonished her teachers by the ease with which she could master the higher mathematics and the French language. She soon began to show unmistakable signs of literary ability. Here she wrote many pieces, both in prose and in verse, intended for school essays, but which afterward found their way into the public prints. Here also she formed the strongest attachments of her life. Being mature in thought, though young in years, she early became the intimate friend of her teachers, and came to be regarded by them as an equal, rather than a pupil.

Vermont
After having completed the full course of study at the school in South Woodstock, she became its preceptress. During these terms, however, she began to feel that her line of duty did not lie in this direction. She had imbibed such a strong love for purely literary work that she determined to make that her occupation.

Massachusetts
Accordingly, in the Fall of 1862 she set out for Boston, determined to spend the following Winter there in some sort of literary occupation. She soon found employment in the Universalist Publishing House for a part of her time, and occupied the remainder in study. That Winter she was wont to consider the most profitable of her early life, because it gave to her the best opportunities. She embraced every occasion that came within her means to hear lectures, concerts, readings, and to attend gatherings of every type. She was very kindly received into Boston society.

Ohio
In Spring 1863, she received news from her half-sister, Mrs. Rosalie Hall, then living in Ohio, that her family was sick and needed her assistance. Upon reaching the sister's home, she found two of her four children very sick with typhoid fever, and their father in the Army of Tennessee, fighting battles during the American Civil War. Before the children had passed beyond the danger-point of their sickness, their mother became ill. Bingham, with the aid of neighbors and friends, nursed them to health. When Rosalie was convalescent, Binham was stricken with typhoid fever herself. Her illness was long and painful, her recovery was very slow, and her health was broken, never after becoming the strong and healthy woman that she was before.

St. Lawrence University
When the family had recovered, and her services were no longer needed, Bingham began to look around for some employment, as her sickness had greatly reduced her savings. She was very soon employed as preceptress of the preparatory department of St. Lawrence University, in which place she was a successful teacher. It was here that she formed the acquaintance which resulted in her marriage with Henry Lucius Bingham (1842-1866), March 29, 1866, a theological student in St. Lawrence University. Her husband was in feeble health at the time, and after five brief months, he died September 5, 1866. Her principal story, "Mignonette", was written in 1865. "The True Immortality", read at the first anniversary of the Zetagathean (seekers after truth) Society, of the Divinity School at Tufts College, was considered very able.

Some time in the fall of 1868, the office of The Universalist and ladies' repository (later, Ladies' Repository), Boston, received the manuscript of a poem read before one of the literary societies of St. Lawrence University. When the poem was read, it was judged as having merit of uncommon sort. The interest awakened by this poem led to inquiries about the author, of whom the journal had heard little. The agent of the Publishing House informed the periodical's publisher that the author of the poem, Mrs. H. A. Bingham, was also the author of "Mignonette", one of the 'Prize Series' of stories published by the house. The publisher took up that little book for the first time, and found in it the same strong lines of power traced in the poem.

Ladies' Repository
Toward the close of 1868, Bingham, by invitation of the agent of the Publishing House, came to Boston, and in the January 1869, became editor of the Ladies' Repository. During the five years that she conducted that magazine, she made for herself a strong literary record. To a wide and high range of thought, she added delicacy, warmth and graceful humor. Her work on that periodical was of the best quality throughout. She was too conscientious to slight any part of it. The aggregate of her editorial labor was large. She resorted to no devices to fill space and save honest labor.

It was during the comparatively brief period of her editorship that she made her record as a writer. Bingham was long acquiring the art and mastery which at length marked her out for succession in the line with Scott, Mayo, Bacon, Sawyer and Munroe. A manuscript volume, containing pieces written at intervals from the age of sixteen until she took charge of the 'Repository,' bears witness to the long and diligent preparation to which her powers were subjected. Mind history and heart history are here photographed by an unconscious artist, and we see, as we turn the leaves of the little book chosen for her girlhood rhymes, how her intellect opened and her faculty grew. The two marked traits of her maturest literary work, thoughtfulness and grace, appear very early. It was her good fortune that she did not make rhymes easily. Had she possessed the fatal facility of some young persons in emitting jingle, she might, like them, have been tempted into pouring out profusely a weak wash of metrical prattle, which can he called poetry only by the same license which allows sound to be called music or words eloquence. But her sense of precision and proportion kept back the flood. Like Lowell, most accurate and idiomatic of out poets, Mrs. Bingham never permitted her muse to run wild, but held it rigorously under the rein of understanding and disciplined taste. Thus it came to pass that her work bore the stamp of quality, and when at length professional duty exacted of her a large amount of literary labor, its uniform high merit provoked general surprise.

During Bingham's years with the Ladies' Repository, she wrote much poetry which yet was not verse. Examples were "Autumnal Rain", "Spring", and "Under the Snow." In each of her longer poems there are strokes of power and strains of melody, prophetic of loftier achievement. Her poetic works included "The Human Side" and "The Divine Side." "On the Edge of the Sea" is a sample of her healthier mood. Such poems as "Compensation," "Divided," "Out of the Depths," and "Sunset," because the element of personal feeling compels sympathy. She was herself aware that so strong a tincture of personal moods, especially when they incline to melancholy, is an alloy of the true poetic quality. Referring to the volumes of the Ladies' Repository between 1869 and 1875 for full memorials of her work, her most characteristic and perfectly finished poem, "L'Envoi" was a midnight meditation on the passing year.

Myrtle
In two other departments of prose writing, newspaper correspondence and in story-telling for children, Bingham showed versatility. The charm and naturalness of both her stories and verses in the Myrtle, a Universalist publication, during the period that she edited that juvenile, attracted the attention, and elicited the warm praise of hundreds of readers.

Later life and death
Representing Massachusetts, in October 1873, she was a member of the executive committee of the First Congress of the Association for the Advancement of Women.

Bingham was enfeebled long before any outward sign appeared, but she persisted in her literary work until her strength was nearly spent, before she decided to go to the home of the parents of her husband, in Columbus, Wisconsin. She reached it March 12, 1875. No sudden change came, but a gradual decay commenced. Bingham grew weaker and weaker and died on February 18, 1877.

World History/Napoleonic Europe and Reactionism

Overview
Unlike in America, the French Revolution (1789-99) did not go well, for either side of the revolution. It was a time of great political upheaval and radical change. At the time of the revolution France was still firmly under a class system consisting of three states or etats, the aristocracy, the clergy and everybody else. This system meant that farming was still run on feudal lines, peasants work the land but ceased to be given any amount of protection from their overlords. This lead to major unhappiness and eventually a republic, a constitutional monarchy and finally an Empire the likes Europe would not see in terms of conquering power until the Second World War.

Causes
Historians agree that a major cause of the revolution was economic. The struggle to match the economic power of other European power such as England caused massive famine and malnutrition due to rapid industrial expansion. Another major cause was the Seven Years War, which saw France booted out of both India and Quebec by the English. The French also supported the Americans in their revolution, pushing them further into bankruptcy. Despite the failing economy the nobility continued to consume high level goods, especially Marie-Antionette.(A commonly attributed unverified quote is "They can't afford bread? Let them eat cake!")  The final reason was the enlightenment fever. After watching other countries change into constitutional monarchies or republics, peasants felt resentment towards their own absolute monarchy. They were not alone. A large percentage of rural clergymen hated their aristocratic bishops, Protestant minorities yearned for freedom from persecution, and the enlightenment thinkers who so longed for a democratic state which they could call their own

Early Wars

France broke into revolution against the king, starting with the storming of the Bastille. The leaders of the rebellion quickly started to gain control of the government. That control was lost later

Italian/Introduction/Pronunciation

see also Italian/Grammar/Pronunciation and alphabet

Pronunciation
The Italian alphabet only uses 21 out of the 26 letters of the English alphabet, with j, k, w, x, and y being omitted. These letters are not an official part of the Italian alphabet and are only used in foreign words, e.g. un whisky, il jazz.

Pronunciation is different from English. Voiceless consonants normally have very little aspiration, stressed vowels are not "automatically" diphthongized as in English boat or bait, and the distinction between long and short consonants, which is essential in Italian, does not exist to the same extent in English (contrast "dully" and "sully" for an exception).

The Italian r is quite different from English r. It is rolled, and can be formed by placing one's tongue on the roof of one's mouth just behind the teeth as if one is trying to pronounce a d.

The letter l is pronounced keeping the tongue against the upper teeth.

There are two consonantic phonemes absent in English. The letter pair gn represents a sound similar to English ni in onion. The letter pair gl, if followed by an i or an e, represents a sound similar to ll in million.

The letter h is not pronounced. Its prime purpose in writing is to distinguish some forms of the verb avere ("to have") from other words with the same pronunciation, and to signal the pronunciation of c and g as "hard" when followed by i or e.

Double consonants are regarded as split between two syllables: fanno ("they do") is pronounced []. If you say "ten nails" quickly (rather than "ten ales"), you'll replicate the sound rather closely.

There are nine vocalic phonemes corresponding to the letters a, e, i, o, and u.

All vowels are normally short, except for stressed vowels in an open syllable (i.e. a syllable that ends in the vowel). Both vowels in fatto [] are short, for example, whereas the // in fato [] is longer.

They are:
 * a: like the a in "father".
 * open e: like e in "bet".
 * closed e: like a in "main".
 * vocalic i: like e in "we".
 * semiconsonantic i: like y in "yoga".
 * open o: like o in "got" (in a British English accent) or the ou in thought (in a General American accent).
 * closed o: like the oa in Canadian English "boat"
 * vocalic u: like u in "June".
 * semiconsonantic u: like u in "quake".

Usually y is pronounced like i.

The letters c and g change sound when they're followed by the letter e or i. They become 'soft' before e and i, like the English ch and g, respectively – think of the words "China" and "gem" for an idea of the sound. Otherwise, they have a 'hard' sound, like the English k in "kite", and the English g in "gain". In order to make these hard sounds even when e or i follow, the letter h is added between the c or g and the i or e.

The Italian language is phonetically regular (that is, words are pronounced as they are spelt), however it has some quirks common to the Romance languages (changing C and G sounds, for example).

Italian has no letters, digraphs, or trigraphs that are especially hard to pronounce for speakers with experience in other Romance languages, nor does it have an exceptional number of phonemes. However, students whose native language is English should pay close attention to the vowels: there are no lax vowels in Italian.

Don't be afraid of trying to pronounce the words using the approximate English pronunciations below (or the IPA if you are familiar with it). The Italian plosives are not aspirated, i.e. you should not blow much air when you pronounce d, t, b, p, k, hard c, or hard g). The approximate English below indicates stressed syllables with capital letters. And now for all of this in more detail:

Special considerations
When trying to pronounce the words below, try to remember the following:

 * Certain words have double consonants. Unlike in English, those consonants are phonemically geminated consonants. That means you must pronounce a double consonant with more energy, giving more length to the sound. As an alternative, try pronouncing them separately but with less pause between the two.
 * Example: coppia (KOP-pyah) [], "couple"

 * "H" is silent (see below).
 * "I" can also be silent (see below).
 * Stress is on the penultimate (next-to-last) syllable in most cases.

Single letters
In the following explanation "hard vowels" (vocali dure) refers to 'a', 'o' and 'u', and "soft vowels" (vocali morbide) refers to 'e' and 'i'.
 * A : "A" is pronounced like in "father".
 * Example: amici (ah-MEE-chee) [], "friends"

 * B : "B" is pronounced like in "balloon", but without aspirating air.
 * Example: bianco (BYAHN-ko) [], "white"

 * C : Before soft vowels (e and i), "C" is pronounced as "ch" in "church". Elsewhere, it is pronounced as in "car".
 * Example soft sound: ciao (TCHAH-o) [], "hello"/"hi"
 * Example hard sound: casa (KAH-sah) [], "house"

 * D : "D" is pronounced as in "death".
 * Example: arrivederci (ah-rree-veh-DEHR-chee) [], "goodbye"

 * E : "E" can be pronounced either open as in "bet" or closed as "ay" in "pay", but shorter.
 * Example: sempre (SEM-preh) [], "always"
 * There is no way to know the pronunciation of e in a word that you don't know.
 * There are also minimal pairs such asː
 * venti [] "twenty", [] "winds"

 * pesca [] "fishing", [] "peach"

 * F : "F" is pronounced like in "fair".
 * Example: farmacia (far-mah-CHEE-ah) [], "pharmacy"

 * G : Before soft vowels (e and i), "G" is pronounced like in "gem", otherwise like in "goal".
 * Example soft sound: gioco (JOH-koh) [], "game"
 * Example hard sound: gamba (GAHM-bah) [], "leg"

 * H : "H" is completely silent everywhere. It can be used to
 * distinguish homophones in written text
 * Example: anno (AHN-no) [], "year" (vs. hanno (AHN-no) [], "they have"

 * Change the pronunciation of letters and digraphs that have two possible pronunciations (see below).
 * I :
 * Usually, it is pronounced like in "machine".
 * Example: libera (LEE-beh-rah) [], "free"/"without constraints"
 * Example of stress pronounced: farmacia (far-mah-CHEE-ah) [], "drugstore"

 * if it is followed by a vowel and unstressed, it is pronounced like "y" in "year".
 * Example: ieri (YEH-ree) [], "yesterday"

 * it can change the pronunciation of letters and digraphs that have two possible pronunciations (see below).
 * Sometimes it makes no difference in the word pronunciation.
 * Example: scienza (SHEN-tsa) [], "science"; coscienza [], "conscience"

 * J : "J" does not exist in modern Italian spelling, except in loanwords in which it can be pronounced [], [] or []. A few Italian words can still be spelt with an initial "J" as an alternative to "I".
 * Example: jattanza (dated) or iattanza [], "haughtiness"

 * K : "K" does not exist in Italian, except in loanwords, and it is always pronounced like in English.
 * L : "L" is pronounced like in "liquid", never the "dark L" sound as in "wool".
 * Example: libera (LEE-beh-rah) [], "free"/"without constraints"

 * M : "M" is pronounced like in "machine".
 * Example : madre (MAH-dreh) [], "mother"

 * N : "N" is usually pronounced like in "navy".
 * Example: Napoli (NAH-po-lee) [], "Naples"
 * When it is followed by [] or [] it is pronounced [].

 * O : "O" can be pronounced either open as the "a" in RP English "ball" or closed like "oa" in Canadian English "boat".
 * Example open: poi (POY) [] "afterwards"
 * Example closed: mondo (MOHN-doh) [], "world"; sole (SOH-leh) [], "sun"
 * There are minimal pairs such as botte [] "barrel", [] "blow".

 * P : "P" is pronounced like in "paste".
 * Example: pizza (PEET-tsah) [], "pizza"

 * Q : "Q" is a surplus letter with the same sound of hard c.
 * It is used mostly, but not always, when followed by approximant u.
 * Example: quando (KWAHN-doh) [], "when"
 * The geminated sound followed by approximant u ([]) is usually written "cq".
 * Example: acqua [], "water".
 * The only rather common exception is "soqquadro" [], "mess".

 * R : "R" is always trilled (rolled), like "rr" in Spanish perro.
 * Example: Roma (ROH-ma) [], "Rome"

 * S : "S" is pronounced like in "snake" except when it is between two vowels (in most cases) or before a voiced consonant, when it is pronounced like "Z" in "maze". There are many important exceptions, as "cosa" and "così".
 * Example "z" sound: uso (OOH-zoh) [], "use"; sbaglio (ZBAH-llyoh) [], "mistake"
 * Example "s" sound: rossa (ROH-ssah) [], "red"

 * T : "T" is always pronounced like in "ton" (without the aspiration) and never like in "nation".
 * Example: tu (TOOH) [], "you"

 * U : "U" is always pronounced like in "rude", never laxed as in "but".
 * Example: tu (TOOH) [], "you"
 * If it is followed by a vowel and unstressed, it is pronounced [].
 * Example: uomo (WOH-moh) [], man.

 * V : "V" is pronounced like in "vision".
 * Example: andavi (ahn-DAH-vee) [], "you went"

 * W : "W" does not exist in Italian, except in loanwords.
 * X : "X" does not exist in Italian, except in loanwords.
 * Y : "Y" does not exist in Italian, except in loanwords.
 * Z : "Z" can be pronounced voiced, producing the "dz" sound, or devoiced, producing the "ts" sound.
 * Example voiced: zero (DZEH-roh) [], "zero"
 * Example devoiced: zia (TSI-a) [], "aunt"

The same applies to the double-z.
 * Example voiced: mezzo (MED-dzo) [], "half"
 * Example devoiced: pezzo (PET-tso) [], "piece"

Di/Trigraphs
Digraphs or trigraphs are not diphthongs, rather they are two letters representing a single sound. Italian has one digraph and two trigraphs with peculiar sounds to English speakers.

 * GN : "GN" is pronounced as "ny" in "canyon", like the "nh" sound in the Portuguese word "sonho" or like "ñ" in the Spanish word piñata. It is always long (geminated) between vowels, within a word or in connected speech.
 * Example: agnello (ah-NNYEH-lloh) [], "lamb"

 * GL before I : "GL" before "I" is pronounced similarly to the "lli" in "million" or the 'lh' sound in the Portuguese word "filha". Between vowels it is always long (geminated).
 * Example: figlio (fee-llyoh) [], "son". This sound has the same tongue position as [] but the manner of articulation is as in []
 * There are some notable exceptions: glicine [] "wisteria", and some words that come from the Greek root "glyk", such as "glicerina" [] "glycerin".

 * SC before I and E : "SC" is pronounced as "sh" in "shoot" when it precedes an "i" or an "e". Between vowels it is always long (geminated).
 * Example: pesce (PEH-sheh) [], "fish"; sciare (shee-AH-reh) [], "to ski"

I and h
H can be used between 'c', 'g', 'sc' and a soft vowel indicating that they must be pronounced as if they were followed by a hard vowel.
 * Example: ghetto (GEH-tto) [], "ghetto"

In the same way, "I" can be used between 'c', 'g', 'sc' and a hard vowel indicating that they must be pronounced as if they were followed by a soft vowel.
 * Example: bacio (BAH-cho) [], "kiss" (noun)

Note that there are also words in which "i" is pronounced:
 * Example: sciare can be pronounced [] "to ski" or [] "lava plains".

Accents and stresses
Each word has one stressed syllable, usually the penultimate. An accent can be used to mark a stressed vowel. The accent is mandatory
 * when the stress is on the last syllable
 * Example: città (chih-TAH) [], "city"

 * on some one-syllable long words which have homophones.
 * Example: da "from", dà "he/she/it gives"

When the stress is on a syllable other than the last, the accent isn't mandatory and it is never used, but it can be optionally employed to disambiguate homographs. Dictionaries may use the accent in order to show the pronunciation: the lack of accent means accent on the penultimate. A significant example of possible disambiguation is that of principi: prìncipi (PREEN-chee-pee) [], "princes" vs. princìpi (preen-CHEE-pee) [], "principles". However, this can also be done by writing princìpi as principî, though this spelling is becoming rare.

When the accent is present it also carries information about the pronunciation of "e" An acute accent over the "E" (i.e. é) indicates a closed "E", while a grave accent (i.e. è) means that the "E" is open.

Examples: "E": perché (pair-KEH) [], "why" "because"; tè (TEH) [], "tea"

In handwriting, the difference between the two accents is not usually respected.

No Touching At All

No Touching At All (どうしても触れたくない) is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Kou Yoneda. No Touching At All was serialized in the quarterly manga magazine Craft from 2007 to 2008. The book was followed up with a one-volume sequel spin-off titled Even So, I Will Love You Tenderly (それでも、やさしい恋をする). A live-action film adaptation of No Touching At All was released on May 31, 2014.

Plot
On the first day of his new job, Toshiaki Shima becomes trapped in an elevator with a hungover man, who turns out to be his new boss, Yosuke Togawa. Togawa's brash and flippant behavior irritates Shima, but he soon becomes drawn to him when Togawa becomes supportive of him. However, Shima is reluctant to act on his feelings after his previous relationship with a male co-worker, which resulted in him quitting after his workplace discovered his secret. Meanwhile, Togawa must confront the traumatic past of his family.

Characters

 * Toshiaki Shima (嶋俊亜紀)
 * (drama CD); portrayed by: Kosuke Yonehara (film)
 * Shima is a 26-year-old office employee who identifies as gay. He was ostracized by his previous co-workers after they discovered he was in a relationship with another male colleague, and because of this, he keeps to himself.

 * Yosuke Togawa (外川陽介)
 * (drama CD); portrayed by: Masashi Taniguchi (film)
 * Togawa is a 29-year-old section manager and Shima's boss, who is also straight. While brash and outspoken, he is seen as friendly and reliable by his peers, and he acts as Shima's confidant. As a child, his family died from a fire.

 * Ryo Onoda (小野田良)
 * (drama CD); portrayed by: Sho Tomita (film)
 * Onoda is a 28-year-old office employee and Shima's co-worker, who eventually gets promoted to section manager after Togawa is transferred. He is supportive towards Shima and questions himself when he falls in love with him. After accepting Shima and Togawa's relationship, he starts falling in love with his friend, Deguchi, and they begin a relationship.

Manga
No Touching At All is written and illustrated by Kou Yoneda. It was serialized in the quarterly magazine anthology Craft from 2007 to 2008. The chapters were later released in one bound volume by Taiyoh Tosho under the Million Comics Craft Series imprint. A drama CD adaptation by B's-Garden, a division of Taiyoh Tosho, was released on March 27, 2009.

In October 2009, Digital Manga Publishing announced at Yaoi-Con that they were distributing the book in English under the Juné imprint. Digital Manga Publishing restocked the book in 2015 and 2016 under a print-on-demand model that resulted a misprint. They plan to re-release the book with a new English translation in Q3 2023.

Sequel
The series was followed up with a one-volume spin-off titled Even So, I Will Love You Tenderly (それでも、やさしい恋をする), which focused on side characters Onoda and Deguchi.

Arrhinia

Arrhinia (alternatively spelled "arhinia") is the congenital partial or complete absence of the nose at birth. It is an extremely rare condition, with few reported cases in the history of modern medicine. It is generally classified as a craniofacial abnormality.

The cause of arrhinia is not known. One study of the literature found that all cases had presented a normal antenatal history.

Conditions
Arrhinia is associated with the following conditions and syndromes:

 * Arrhinia with choanal atresia and microphthalmia syndrome (Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome)
 * Holoprosencephaly 1
 * Holoprosencephaly 13, X-linked
 * Holoprosencephaly-radial heart renal anomalies syndrome

History
The term "arrhinia" is derived from the Greek roots "a-" (absence) and "rhinos" (nose); it is alternatively spelled "arhinia."

The phenomenon of congenital arrhinia, which refers to the complete absence of the nose from birth, was initially documented in French literature during the 1800s. Over time, a few additional cases of individuals born with congenital arrhinia, some with accompanying eye defects and others without, were reported in medical literature from the early to mid-1900s.

Dr. James Bosma, a pediatrician and researcher associated with the National Institute of Dental Health, made a significant observation while studying these patients. He noted that individuals with congenital arrhinia often exhibited problems related to genital and reproductive hormones. In his comprehensive report in 1981, Dr. Bosma described two unrelated males initially reported by plastic surgeon Dr. George Gifford et al. in 1972. These patients presented with congenital arrhinia, eye defects, and genital abnormalities, such as a small penis and undescended testes at birth, with no spontaneous sexual maturation.

It is noteworthy that nearly every individual with congenital arrhinia appears to be the first and only one affected within their respective families. Nonetheless, there have been a few reports of multiple cases within the same family, with one of the earliest examples being described by Klaus Ruprecht and Frank Majewski in 1978. They reported on two German sisters who exhibited congenital arrhinia along with eye defects.

Treatment
Treatment focuses on identifying the nature of the anomalies through various imaging methods, including MRI and CAT scan, and surgical correction to the extent possible.

In severe cases, temporary airway devices, such as tracheostomy tubes, may be utilized to facilitate breathing until surgical intervention is deemed appropriate.

Surgical procedures should only be carried out by a team of medical experts, including otolaryngologists, plastic surgeons, and prosthodontists. The arrhinia reconstruction process primarily involves two main parts: the reconstruction of the nasal cavity and the reconstruction of the external nose.

There are two methods for reconstructing the nasal cavity. In the first method, two separate nasal cavities are created using a dental drill, and then silicone tubes are used to keep the newly formed nasal passages open. The second method involves a Le Fort II maxillary osteotomy, which involves making an incision through the maxillozygomatic consoles and towards the medial end of the inferior orbital rim. A horizontal arm connects the two sides, and then the maxilla is carefully fractured, creating a wide median nasal cavity that extends to the upper portion of the rhinopharynx. If the maxillary height is sufficient, the patient may only need a Le-Fort II osteotomy. However, if it is not high enough, the patient will require a Le-Fort II osteotomy first, followed by an extension along the maxillary bone. External distraction devices may also be used to provide additional facial height and sufficient midfacial vertical length for nasal reconstruction. Lengthening the maxilla has two advantages: it provides enough height for nasal cavity reconstruction and achieves suitable aesthetic proportions.

Surgical treatment methods for arrhinia can involve either staged reconstruction or simultaneous reconstruction of the nasal passage and the external nose. Staged reconstruction, where the procedures are performed in separate stages, is more commonly reported than simultaneous reconstruction.

Sceptic
The guy is Australian, and most readers will be from Australia. The spelling should be sceptic, rather than skeptic (unless skeptic is a brand owned by Exxon, which seems possible). <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:18, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * You're quite right. Changed per strong national ties to the subject. Frickeg (talk) 10:48, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Sceptic or denier?
There is a discussion that happens regularly around various WP biography pages about whether people should be referred to as climate change "sceptics" or climate change "deniers". One of the keys to choosing the right word is to look at what the article subject themselves has been reported as saying, and what independent reliable sources report. Jensen has described himself as a sceptic, but the article currently i don't think cites any independent reliable sources that indicate he denies climate change. In the absence of such sources, given the heated nature of climate change debate, "denier" becomes a kind of slur. hamiltonstone (talk) 22:32, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Jimbo Wales's opinion:"The phrase 'climate change denier' should be avoided in almost all cases, unless the person expresses that precise claim themselves, which will be almost never. The reason should be clear: the phrase is highly partisan and an attempt to tar people with association with the phrase 'holocaust denier' - the only other common usage of that sort of phrase that I know about." Peter Gulutzan (talk) 01:16, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I don't really see how Jimbo's position is relevant. The article is at climate change denial. Certainly a source would be helpful. Frickeg (talk) 01:38, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I think it isn't Wales's position that is relevant, so much as his reasoning, which I support. The article on denial is helpful in drawing attention to the distinction between denial, and debate over scientific conclusions, which is something else. hamiltonstone (talk) 02:08, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Over the years these editors have changed this article to say Jensen is a "denier", or reverted that change, or changed to "sceptic": User:<IP_ADDRESS>, User:<IP_ADDRESS>, User:<IP_ADDRESS>, User:99of9, User:AtholM, User:AusLondonder, User:Bobdyer54, User:Frickeg, User:Hamiltonstone, User:Hawiianbat, User:Peter Gulutzan, User:JzG, User:Widr. I have reverted the latest change to "denier" on the BLP basis that the claim is "contentious" and is "unsourced or poorly sourced". Please discuss rather than putting "denier" in without consensus. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 20:37, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Peter, I know you hate the term denier and prefer the term skeptic. The problem here is twofold: first the source says he denies climate change. It's not a poor source, it's not contentious. Deny, as in denial, as in denialism, as in reject, for ideological reasons, the scientific consensus. Second, climate change "skeptics" are not skeptics. They are deniers. That is well established. Now, if you want to push for a third term that does not invoke the hated D-word, feel free - AP deprecates both, but if it must be one or the other, then denial is the only legitimate one here per out policies. Guy (Help!) 00:16, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * A headline is often tacked on by an editor not the author, and this article doesn't contain any variant of the word "denier", it only contains "sceptic" as an indirect quote of Jensen. That's not to say that some real source couldn't easily be found somewhere calling Jensen a denier, but it could easily be negated by finding articles calling Jensen "sceptic" not "denier" such as here and here. I see that you've re-inserted "denier" without waiting for other editors. I think it would be better to see who favours either term, both terms, a third term, or nothing. But a lack of consensus will mean back to the status quo ante pre-JzG. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 15:56, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Meanwhile, back in the real world, this is a climate denialist with zero expertise in the field on which to base his incorrect opinions. Oh, and he went the full Godwin too: . Pick more rational denialists to defend, eh? Consensus is that we don't misrepresent denial as legitimate skepticism. That's consensus as in the true sense: long-term high level policies and guidelines, such as WP:FRINGE. Guy (Help!) 00:41, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Idiotic Commercials
Have you seen them ? They're really getting stupid, so bad that a one month old knows they're shit. I've seen some really bad ones, such as that commercial about a damn lizard, caveman and that Head On commercial (parodied by Jay Lenno as "Ass On" in which you rub a burger on YOUR ass). Do advertisers really believe that people are really dumb or even retarded ? <IP_ADDRESS> 01:08, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Someone even told me that sports do make people stupid as well, borne out in sports related commercials that are really stupid. (me vomiting at seeing a idiot advertising something stupid.) <IP_ADDRESS> 01:11, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Wellz, repetition DOES work. I can still remember the damn Head On thing long after I've seen it. Splintercellguy 01:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Maybe they're deliberately making them look stupid so they will be talked about on the internet and more people will watch it. Viral marketing. --antilivedT 02:50, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

 * There is some (amusing) info at HeadOn and in this Slate article. As a personal note, if its that idiotic why is it one of the thousands of commercials out there that sticks in your head enough to comment on. In terms of generating brand awareness, its second to none. Rockpocket 08:02, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

 * There's three ways to make an advert memorable: make it intelligent (eg Cog, BRAVIA Balls), stupid (eg HeadOn, Crazy Frog) or controversial (Ford Kat, Bride Has Massive Hair Wig Out). Either way, people are going to send it to other people and spread the word. Laïka  10:16, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

 * The point of an advert is to have you remember their name - and preferably repeat it as often as possible. They can do that just as well with a bloody annoying advert as with a good one.  As bad as your examples are - you are remembering them, paying attention and passing the company name on to other people.  They worked!  Annoying adverts are probably easier and cheaper than amusing adverts. SteveBaker 16:54, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Introduction to Christianity/The Christian Faith

Back: < Introduction to Christianity >

Faith
''Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen. ... By faith, we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible.'' (Heb 11:1,3, WEB)

Certain

 * God is self existing, knows everything, can do everything, and is everywhere.
 * God is love, good, just, and right.
 * God created the universe and all that's in it.
 * God created humanity like himself, without evil.
 * Humanity became evil and because of it, all die.
 * God produced his first born son, by a woman, called Jesus Christ.
 * Jesus died to save the world from evil, was raised from death, and returned to God.
 * Whoever has faith in Jesus Christ, and acts on that faith by doing good, will be resurrected and live forever.

C Programming/Structure and style

C Structure and Style
This is a basic introduction to good coding style in the C Programming Language. It is designed to provide information on how to effectively use indentation, comments, and other elements that will make your C code more readable. It is not a tutorial on actual C programming.

As a beginning programmer, the point of creating structure in the program code might not be clear, as the compiler doesn't care about the difference. However, as programs become complex, chances are that writing the program has become a joint effort. (Or others might want to see how it was accomplished. Or you may have to read it again years later.) Well-written code also helps you get an overview of what the code does.

In the following sections, we will attempt to explain good programming practices that will in turn make your programs clearer.

Introduction
In C, programs are composed of statements. Statements are terminated with a semi-colon, and are collected in sections known as functions. By convention, a statement should be kept on its own line, as shown in the example below:

The following block of code is essentially the same. While it contains exactly the same code, and will compile and execute with the same result, the removal of spacing causes an essential difference: it's harder to read.

The simple use of indents and line breaks can greatly improve code readability without impacting code performance. Readable code makes it much easier to see where functions and procedures end and which lines are part of which loops and procedures.

This lesson is going to focus on improving the coding style of an example piece of code which applies a formula and prints the result. Later, you'll see how to write code for such tasks in more detail. For now, focus on how the code looks, not what it does.

Line Breaks and Indentation
The addition of white space inside your code is arguably the most important part of good code structure. Effective use of white space can create a visual scale of how your code flows, which can be very important when returning to your code when you want to maintain it.

Line Breaks
With minimal line breaks, code is barely human-readable, and may be hard to debug or understand:

Rather than putting everything on one line, it is much more readable to break up long lines so that each statement and declaration goes on its own line. After inserting line breaks, the code will look like this:

Blank Lines
Blank lines should be used to offset the main components of your code. Always use them:
 * After preprocessor directives.
 * After new variables are declared.
 * Use your own judgment for finding other places where components should be separated.

Based on these two rules, there should now be at least two line breaks added: This will make the code much more readable than it was before:
 * After line 1, because line 1 has a preprocessor directive.
 * After line 6, because line 6 contains a variable declaration.

The following lines of code have line breaks between functions, but without indentation.

But it's still not as readable as it can be.

Indentation
Although adding simple line breaks between key blocks of code can make code easier to read, it provides no information about the block structure of the program. Using the tab key can be very helpful. Indentation visually separates paths of execution by moving their starting points to a new column. This simple practice will make it much easier to read and understand code. Indentation follows a fairly simple rule:

 * All code inside a new block should be indented by one tab more than the code in the previous path.

Based on the code from the previous section, there are two blocks requiring indentation:

 * Lines 4 to 16
 * Line 13

It is now fairly obvious as to which parts of the program fit inside which blocks. You can tell which parts of the program the coder has intended to be conditional, and which ones he or she has not. Although it might not be immediately noticeable, once many nested paths get added to the structure of the program, the use of indentation can be very important. Thus, indentation makes the structure of your program clear.

It is claimed that research has shown that an indentation size between 2 to 4 characters is easier to read than 8 character indents. However, an indent of 8 characters may still be in use for some systems.

Comments
Comments in code can be useful for a variety of purposes. They provide the easiest way to set off specific parts of code (and their purpose); as well as providing a visual "split" between various parts of your code. Having good comments throughout your code will make it much easier to remember what specific parts of your code do.

Comments in modern flavors of C (and many other languages) can come in two forms:

and

Note that Single line comments are a more recent addition to C, so some compilers may not support them. A recent version of GCC will have no problems supporting them.

This section is going to focus on the various uses of each form of commentary.

Single-line Comments
Single-line comments are most useful for simple 'side' notes that explain what certain parts of the code do. The best places to put these comments are next to variable declarations, and next to pieces of code that may need explanation. Comments should make clear the intention and ideas behind the corresponding code. What is immediately obvious from reading the code does not belong in a comment.

Based on our previous program, there are various good places to place comments:
 * Line 5 and/or 6, to explain what 'int revenue' and 'int cost' represent,
 * Line 8, to explain what the variable 'roi' is going to be used for,
 * Line 10, to explain the idea of the calculation,
 * Line 12, to explain the purpose of the 'if'.

This will make our program look something like:

Multi-line Comments
Multi-line comments are most useful for long explanations of code. They can be used as copyright/licensing notices, and they can also be used to explain the purpose of a block of code. This can be useful for two reasons: They make your functions easier to understand, and they make it easier to spot errors in code. If you know what a block is supposed to do, then it is much easier to find the piece of code that is responsible if an error occurs.

As an example, suppose we had a program that was designed to print "Hello, World! " a certain number of lines, a specified number of times. There would be many for loops in this program. For this example, we shall call the number of lines i, and the number of strings per line as j.

A good example of a multi-line comment that describes 'for' loop i's purpose would be:

This provides a good explanation of what i's purpose is, whilst not going into detail of what j does. By going into detail over what the specific path does (and not ones inside it), it will be easier to troubleshoot the path.

Similarly, you should always include a multi-line comment before each function, to explain the role, preconditions and postconditions of each function. Always leave the technical details to the individual blocks inside your program - this makes it easier to troubleshoot.

A function descriptor should look something like: This system allows for an at-a-glance explanation of what the function should do. You can then go into detail over how each aspect of the program is achieved later on in the program.

Finally, if you like to have aesthetically-pleasing source code, the multi-line comment system allows for the easy addition of comment boxes. These make the comments stand out much more than they would otherwise. They look like this:

Applied to our original program, we can now include a much more descriptive and readable source code:

This will allow any outside users of the program an easy way to comprehend what the code functions are and how they operate. It also inhibits uncertainty with other like-named functions.

A few programmers add a column of stars on the right side of a block comment: But most programmers don't put any stars on the right side of a block comment. They feel that aligning the right side is a waste of time.

Comments written in source files can be used for documenting source code automatically by using popular tools like Doxygen.

Wikijunior:South America/Peru

Part of Wikijunior South America project Welcome to Peru! Peru is the third largest country in South America. Peru is located on the western edge of South America, with The Andes mountains running through it. The Andes cause many of the cities of Peru to be located on the Western side, including the capital, Lima.

Peru's History
Peru was at one time the center of the Incan Empire. The old capital of the Incas, Cuzco, meaning navel of the world, was located in the Andes mountains in the southeastern part of the country. The Spanish under the conquistador Pizarro conquered the native Andean culture in 1533 and the country became a part of the Spanish Empire in 1542. Peru was liberated from the rule of Spain by the famous South American general José de San Martin in 1821.

The Andes and Machu Picchu
The Andes take up much of Peru, dividing the country into three sections. The Andes are a constantly changing mountain range, so they are prone to earthquakes, landslides, and flash floods. The Andes, though, are also filled with great beauty, such as the great Incan city of the clouds, Machu Picchu, which is a major tourist destination, and the huge Lake Titicaca. Near Huancayo lies Nevado Misti, a 18,500 foot peak, from which emerges a stream that is considered the source of the Amazon, the world's largest river. It flows eastward, joining other rivers, themselves flowing north and east until the Maranon and Ucayali, two great rivers of lowland Amazonia, meet to form the Amazon River itself.

The Coastline
The Pacific Ocean is cold along the coast of Peru and the winds do not pick up much moisture from it, so the land next to coast of Peru is a very dry place. The southern coast region is part of the Atacama desert, which also extends into Chile. The Atacama desert is known as the driest place in the world.

Although little grows naturally in this region of Peru, the people of Peru have long been using irrigation to farm. As a result, most of Peru's large population centers border this desert.

The Amazon Jungle
The eastern part of the country is covered with dense vegetation, and its most important exports are jungle products, consisting of rubber, cinchona, dye stuffs, medicinal drugs and in the cultivated portions, coca, which is raised in large quantities.

Lima - The Capital City
Lima or the City of the Kings (Cuidad de los Reyes) was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535. The Cathedral of Lima contains the tomb of Pizarro. Callao, located 7 miles west of Lima, is the port of the capital city and contains one of the finest harbors on the Pacific Ocean.

Arequipa - The White City
The historic old city is located on the Chili river in the mountains of southern Peru and was founded by Garci de Carbajal under the direction of Pizarro in 1540. An imposing feature of the city is the Cathedral San Francisco de Arequipa. The name white city comes from the white volcanic rock called sillar, available nearby, which was used as building blocks in the construction of the city.

Guadalupe storm petrel

The Guadalupe storm petrel (Hydrobates macrodactylus) is a small seabird of the storm petrel family Hydrobatidae. It bred only on Guadalupe Island off Baja California, Mexico, and presumably ranged throughout the region. It has been assessed as Critically Endangered or possibly extinct.

Taxonomy
It was formerly defined in the genus Oceanodroma before that genus was synonymized with Hydrobates.

Description
This species was almost indistinguishable from its relative, Leach's storm petrel. In the field, they could not be told apart except by their annual rhythm. In the hand, the Guadalupe storm petrel could be distinguished by slightly larger size and the paler underwing coverts. There is no evidence for sexual dimorphism in this species.

Breeding
The breeding season was set between the two other breeding storm petrel species of Guadalupe, the winter-breeding Ainley's and the summer-breeding Townsend's, in accordance with Gause's law. The single egg, white with a faint ring of reddish-brown and lavender speckles around the blunt end, was laid in burrows maybe 15 in (35–40 cm) long, below the Guadalupe pine (Pinus radiata var. binata)-island oak (Quercus tomentella) cloud forest on top of Mount Augusta. By mid-June, almost all young had already left the burrows. Though little data is available on Hydrobates breeding, incubation was presumably 42 days or so in this species, just as in similar-sized relatives. Time to fledging must have taken between 60 and 75(−85?) days, most likely around 65 days. This would mean that egg-laying took place from early February to March, and that in April–May, unfledged young were present in most active burrows. Just as in their relatives, the egg was incubated a few days by either parent, after which the other took over, the relieved bird taking to the sea to feed itself for the next incubation stint. The young were fed only at night, also like in other storm petrels.

Call
Its call was described by Walter E. Bryant as sounding something like "here's a letter, here's a letter", with repeated interjections of "For you, for you".

Ecology
Three species of lice were found to parasitize the Guadalupe storm petrel: the menoponids Longimenopon dominicanum and Austromenopon oceanodromae, and the ischnoceran Halipeurus raphanus. The second also occurs on some other storm petrels, and the third was also found on the ashy storm petrel. L. dominicanum, though, has to date not been found on other birds and seems to be a case of coextinction.

Disappearance
In January 1885, multiple specimens were collected and described by Walter E. Bryant. The introduction of cats to the island decimated the population during the late 19th century. Introduced goats were also responsible for degradation of the environment. By the end of the 1906 breeding season, it was still considered "abundant", though the "large numbers" of birds present there and then must have been nearly the entire population of this species. Still, it was noted that:

"the mortality among these birds from the depredations of the cats that overrun the island is appalling – wings and feathers lie scattered in every direction around the burrows along the top of the pine ridge."

Two specimens were reportedly collected between March 2 and March 5, 1911, and the last record of a breeding bird was in 1912. The species has not been seen since. Only old, abandoned burrows and the decayed remains of storm petrels killed by cats were found in the years thereafter. However, the Guadalupe storm petrel cannot be distinguished from the sympatric H. cheimomnestes/socorroensis in the field, and surveys on Guadalupe invariably took place outside the breeding season of H. macrodactyla, focusing on researching the local Leach's storm petrels. Thus, some hope remained for the present species' survival, or rather, its extinction could not be definitely confirmed.

From June 4 to June 10, 2000, the Guadalupe storm petrel's breeding grounds were finally surveyed at the correct time. Had the species survived, not only would recently fledged immature birds have been present, but also all signs of a recently ended breeding season, such as eggshells and freshly used burrows retaining the musky smell of these birds. In the words of the expedition's primary researcher, Exequiel Ezcurra of the San Diego Natural History Museum,

"We searched thoroughly for the Guadalupe storm petrel, and failed to find it. Sadly, we are now more ready to admit that the species is indeed extinct. Never, since the 1920s, had so much search effort been devoted to this species. At different times, more than 10 researchers looked for the elusive creature. It simply was not there."

The official classification by the IUCN has not been updated yet. In any case, the precautionary principle would probably require a few years of follow-up surveys, possible now that restoration of Guadalupe's ecosystem is underway. Despite the species' likely extinction, the two other storm-petrel species that are also endemic breeders to Guadalupe - Townsend's and Ainley's storm petrels - still survive on offshore islets.

IPv6

IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is a protocol destined to replace the IPv4 protocol that still runs the vast majority of the Internet.

More IP addresses
IPv6 uses a different method to create IP addresses than IPv4, using 128-bit IP addresses instead of 32-bit. The number of available IP addresses in IPv6 are an increase from 4,294,967,296 of IPv4 to 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456. This should allow for 4.3*10^28 IP addresses for every one of the approximately 7.9 billion people on the planet.

Address notation
An IPv6 address is written using hexadecimal (base-16) digits, with letters A-F standing for the digits for 10-15, respectively (case-insensitive). The values 0-15 correspond to the possible values of 4 bits, or one nibble, so there are 32 such digits in a complete IPv6 address. Each group of 4 digits, or 16 bits, is separated from the next by a colon: 2001:db8:3df5:2a76:23f6:7300:0000:356a

IPv6 addresses can contract certain groups of zero digits. Within any group of 4 digits, leading zeros can be omitted; 2001:db8:002a:3256:adfe:05c0:0003:0006 becomes 2001:db8:2a:3256:adfe:5c0:3:6.

A single consecutive set of one or more 4-digit groups that are all completely zero can be omitted and replaced by :: in each address. The previous example 2001:db8:3df5:2a76:23f6:7300:0000:356a then can contract to form 2001:db8:3df5:2a76:23f6:7300::356a. The address 2001:db8:0000:0000:de52:32fd:0000:0000 can contract to 2001:db8::de52:32fd:0:0 or 2001:db8:0:0:de52:32fd::, but not both - this contraction may be performed only once in any particular address, as 2001:db8::de52:32fd:: leaves no information of the placement of the digits de52:32fd.

Use in URLs
Because IPv6 addresses contain colons, they cannot be directly used in URLs because the colons would conflict with both the protocol declaration (http:// or https://) and port numbers. Therefore, when a literal IPv6 address is used, it is encased in a bracket, like http://[2001:db8::1]:80. This does not affect domain names with IPv6 addresses as the URL does not contain any actual IPv6 addresses.

In DNS, domain names mapped to IPv6 addresses do so using AAAA records in DNS.

CIDR notation
Like IPv4, IPv6 also uses CIDR notation to describe address ranges in terms of a common prefix of bits, and the length of that prefix. Because each digit represents 4 bits, any prefix whose length is a multiple of 4 includes address with the exact same prefix. For example, 2001:db8::/32 describes all addresses with the common prefix of digits 2001:db8.

Calvary at Guéhenno

The Calvary of Guéhenno, dating from 1550, is located in the village of Guéhenno in the Pontivy arrondissement of Brittany. This article gives a full description of the calvary and details of how it was rebuilt after suffering severe damage in 1794. This calvary is classified as one of the seven great calvaries of Brittany and is the furthest to the east, being located in the ancient diocese of Vannes. It is made entirely from granite save for some bas-reliefs carved using "pierre bleutėe" (a bluish stone). The granite used is fine grained which lends itself to being carved. Extracted from the Guéhenno region, it was also used for the north porch at Ploërmel and the façade of the château at Josselin.

Introduction
Guéhenno originally had the archetypal "enclos paroissial" with the parish church, an ossuary, calvary and cemetery. In 1794 however, troops of the Republican Army, pausing on their journey to Josselin, pillaged the village, burnt down the 16th-Century church and severely damaged the calvary which dated back to 1550 and was attributed to the sculptor F. Guillouic. In 1853 the new rector, Abbé Jacquot, set about rebuilding the calvary assisted by his rector Laumaillė and two masons; fortunately the villagers had managed to hide away the fragments left after the soldiers' attack, secreting them in the ossuary, granary and other places and having mastered the rudiments of sculpture, Jacquot even added some extra pieces. Two inscriptions tell the story. "J.GUILLOUIC A FACIT CESTE CROUA DE P[AR] LES P[A]RROISSIE[N]S 1550" and "REFAIT EN 1853 JACQUOT R[ECTEUR] DREAN M[AIRE]. LAUMAILLÉ VICAIRE." Jacquot also added several sculptures to a new ossuary built in 1863. The church was also rebuilt. The calvary has three crosses emerging from a large granite pedestal, the central cross being occupied by Jesus Christ whilst the two robbers executed alongside Jesus hang from the two smaller crosses. At the front of this pedestal, a smaller granite slab forms an altar table and facing the calvary Jacquot placed a column on which the instruments of the passion were carved, a rooster sitting at the top of the column representing Saint Peter's denial of Christ. Jacquot also added to the sides of the altar table the images of the Prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel and Ezekiel. Jacquot died in 1866, aged 66 years. The calvary was designated a "monument historique" in 1927. Apart from the rooster topped column and the four prophets which are attributable to Jacquot alone, Jacquot also made some other alterations to pieces originally sculpted by Guillouic. As a result, the attributions are not always crystal clear.

The crosses
The image of the crucified Jesus Christ hangs from the central cross ("Le Christ à l'agonie") which is 10 metres high. On the crosspiece are statues depicting the Virgin Mary and John the Apostle. Two cherubs are on the arms of the cross. Two smaller crosses stand at each side of the central cross and from these hang the bodies of the two robbers executed alongside Jesus. At the base of the central cross is a pietà ("Vierge de pitié"). The sculpture of the bad robber with attendant demon are by Jacquot whilst the good robber was carved by Guillouic.

Bas-reliefs around the pedestal
On each face of the pedestal is a bas-relief depicting a scene from the passion. The first on the pedestal's south side shows Jesus praying in the Garden of Olives/Gethsemane as three of his apostles sleep ("Agonie du Christ"). The bas-relief at the rear of the calvary, the eastern side, shows the flagellation. Jesus is surrounded by two soldiers holding whips. The third relief on the west side depicts Christ's resurrection and in the final relief on the north side Jesus sits between two Roman soldiers who are kneeling and mocking him, one handing him a reed and joking that he should hold it as his sceptre; the "Christ aux outrages" or "Dėrision du Christ". It is not thought that the bas-reliefs are by either Guillouic or Jacquot but that they are the work of two different 16th Century sculptors.

The ossuary
There are several statues outside the ossuary. Statues depicting two young women face away from the calvary and look towards the ossuary entrance which is guarded by two Roman soldiers. There is also a monster representing Satan. Inside the ossuary there is a gisant representing Christ in his tomb, this sculpted in 1863. Christ is accompanied by three sleeping cherubs. On the side of the ossuary facing the church there is a beautiful altar-piece from the 15th Century which shows, from left to right, Jesus at prayer, the way of the cross, the crucifixion, the descent from the cross and the entombment.

The pedestal
The three crosses are placed on and emerge from a large stone pedestal on which there are various sculptures. In the centre of the pedestal there is a scene depicting the way of the cross with a centurion, on horseback, whilst a second centurian holds the lance which had pierced Jesus' side. At each corner of the pedestal are statues of the evangelists, Matthew the Apostle with his attribute the child, Luke the Evangelist who sits on a bull, Mark the Evangelist with a lion and John the Evangelist with an eagle. There is also a sculpture depicting Christ carry the cross and Saint Veronica holding up the veil on which Jesus' image has appeared and finally a pietà, the Virgin Mary holding the body of Christ which has just been brought down from the cross. The pietà is by Guillouic. There is also a figure on the shaft of the central cross. He seems to be sleeping and is a depiction of Jesse the father of David and thus an ancestor of Jesus. At the feet of the crucified Jesus are two skulls and two crossed bones symbolizing that Jesus' death has washed away the sins of mankind.

The altar table
The altar table comprises a smaller pedestal at the front of the larger pedestal and on this is a bas-relief which depicts Jesus' apparition before the empty tomb. Beneath this is an inscription added by Abbé Jacquot stating that any visitor saying prayers at the calvary will be given 40 days of grace after saying "5 Paters and 3 Ave Marias." On the altar table's surface is a depiction of the entombment ("Mise au tombeau") attended by Saint Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, John the Evangelist and three female saints. This is attributed to Guillouic. To the side of the altar there are statues of the Prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezechiel and Daniel. Each carries a banner. Isaiah's banner reads "Salvabos gregem meum", Jeremiah's reads "Saturabitur opprobriis", Ezechiel's reads "Et cum sceleratis reputatus est" and Daniel's "Christus occidetur". The four sculptures are attributed to Jacquot. .

The column in front of the calvary
On this column, the work of Abbé Jacquot, are carvings depicting the instruments of the passion: two  Holy Lances, one of which had held the Holy Sponge drenched in vinegar which had been offered to Jesus and the second the lance which had pierced Jesus' side, the whip, the rope with which Jesus was tied to the cross, the crown of thorns, a pair of pincers and three nails as well as the reed which had been placed mockingly in Jesus' hand as though it was his sceptre. At the very top is a rooster as a reminder of Saint Peter's denial of Jesus.

About
About links to every single page. It's in the center of the bottom line.

Acknowledgement of the source at the lower right-hand corner might shift the focus toward MediaWiki. A quick glance at the lower left-hand corner shows the reason we look for results. Sensitivity to the other two members of the bottom line could increase the potential of the object at the upper left-hand corner. In every instance it's up to the person represented in the upper right-hand corner to control content development at this project. Follow me? CQ 11:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

something like |Wikipedia:Large language models| for this wiki?
Does or will this wiki have policy/guidelines covering these sorts of ideas: w:Wikipedia:Large language models ? Does the same Large language models effectively apply here? Is it good enough? either way, bless up. Michael Ten (discuss • contribs) 03:04, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
