Music Theory/Chords

''This is a basic introduction to chords. There is also a complete chord reference.''

Chords are the vertical arrangement of notes from a scale. The study of chords is called Harmony. Harmony is concerned with how one or more notes interact, and how they follow each other. Many people define chords as several notes played simultaneously. It must be pointed out that it is not possible to play music of a chordal nature on the flute, trumpet, or a lone human voice, all three being monophonic instruments. Since obviously monophonic instruments cannot play a stacked chord where the notes are sounded simultaneously; the chords are implied. A simpler way of viewing this is that when chord tones are played as an arpeggio on a monophonic instrument the human ear interprets that there is a harmonic structure. We therefore define a chord as the basic element of harmony. To start with we will look at examples of the most basic chord, the triad.

Triads
The triad is a class of chords, specifically three-note chords formed by this formula: 1-3-5 or root, third, fifth. In this example they are constructed of two consecutive thirds.

There are four kinds:

The major is very consonant; the minor is a bit less so but still consonant for most purposes. The augmented is very dissonant and the diminished is extremely dissonant as it contains a tritone (augmented fourth or, in this case, diminished fifth).

The major and minor triads may have their third omitted, although this is uncommon. If the third of a major or minor chord is omitted, the result is a fifth chord, which is often called a power chord when played on an overdriven guitar.

Triads and Inversions
If we look at a C major triad or three-voice chord it is based on combining a root voice (C) with two other voices at slightly different intervals of a third (E, a major third from C and G, a minor third from E). If we compare the key of C major to the C major chord using the names do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, to represent the scale degrees 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, the C major chord is constructed from the notes do, mi, and so. This same relationship is true for all major triads in all corresponding major keys.

These three notes (the root, major third and perfect fifth) can be structured or 'voiced', C-E-G, E-G-C or G-C-E. No matter what order the three notes (called voices) are in they still create a C major chord. It does not matter if the voices are the singers in a choir or the instruments of an orchestra, if the notes are all either C, E, or G we simply have a gigantic sounding C chord.

The two consecutive intervals produced by these voicings would be:
 * C E G = major third, minor third (root position),
 * E G C = minor third, perfect fourth (first inversion),
 * G C E = perfect fourth, major third (second inversion).

If the root (C) is on the bottom this voicing is called root position. If the third (E) is on the bottom it is called first inversion. If the fifth (G) is on the bottom this voicing of the triad is called second inversion.

Since there are only three possible voicings of a triad it is relatively easy to hear them in that they are a common feature of the past two centuries of traditional harmonic structures in Western music. The use of the exponentially more complex voicings arising from 4-voice, 5-voice and larger chords is more challenging. Some 4-voice chords are used in traditional, 'classical' and church music but others such as the diminished seventh were strictly forbidden in early sacred music as they contained the tritone interval; the mathematical halfway point in the octave which acquired the name diabolus in musica (the Devil in music) due to its dissonant qualities. Other 4-voice chords were not used in symphonic and 'classical' music until the French Impressionist era and in modern jazz. All triads and 4-voice chords are built within the octave, or eight-note scale which encompasses the do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do of the major scale, for instance, or the scale steps 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8; eight being the octave where the pattern starts over again.

All triadic and therefore, common, chords can be constructed the same way : using the 1 3 5 formula. Take the C scale, for instance:

Seventh Chords and More
Seventh chords are triads with another fourth note a seventh from the root; they're characteristic of jazz music and provide more color than a basic triad.

There are several types: * Many people choose not to recognize half-diminished seventh chords, and prefer to call them minor seventh chords with a flat fifth.

These chords have inversions in the same sense that triads do, except seventh chords have three inversions:

 * The root position of C major seventh: C, E, G, B
 * The first inversion of C major seventh: E, G, B, C
 * The second inversion of C major seventh: G, B, C, E
 * The third inversion of C major seventh: B, C, E, G

Sixth Chords
A slightly less dissonant option than a seventh chord would be a sixth chord, with replaces the seventh with a sixth. Only the major sixth is used because a minor sixth would make a dissonant minor second with the fifth; a minor sixth chord would be built with a major sixth despite it not being a minor interval.

Chord Notation
People very often abbreviate chords into just a couple letters and symbols and put them on sheet music or jazz lead sheets.

Some chord symbols on chords with the root C (the C can be replaced with any note): Extensions or alterations are added directly at the end of the chord symbol, often with parentheses: an A dominant seventh flat-nine chord would look like A7♭9 or A7(♭9). For more than one alteration/extension, use a comma between each extension for clarity.

"Slash chords" are chords written with a slash and a note name after it, like E♭Δ7/F. This communicates an E♭ major seventh chord, but with an F played in the bass. While the E♭ is still the root of the chord, there is an F at the bottom for flavor. This is useful if you want to explicitly mark inversions: the first inversion of a C minor triad would look like Cm/E♭.

Analysis Notation
Theorists very often use Roman numerals in the place of scale degrees when they're talking about chords, so that they can talk about chord patterns that aren't specific to any key. Uppercase numerals indicate major (or augmented) chords and lowercase numerals indicate minor (or diminished) chords, like so: Thus, all of the triads in any major scale could be listed simply as I ii iii IV V vi vii°, and all of the triads in any minor scale as I ii° III iv v VI VII.

Like any scale degree number, you can put a sharp or flat behind a symbol to specify a chord with a root outside of the scale, so in D major a ♭VI chord would be a B♭ major triad.

Applying Chords
The easiest way to apply a triad, or indeed any chord, is to pick one on a polyphonic instrument (such as a piano) and play its three notes simultaneously. This is often how chords occur in actual music: an instrument plays all the notes in the chord at the same time. However, there are other possibilities. The simplest is to arpeggiate the chord, that is, to play its notes one at a time in any order, especially in an ascending or descending order. Often melody can be written around the chord, using notes in the chord as well as the diatonic and chromatic passing notes between the chord tones. When this is done, while there is no accompaniment actually playing a chord, the chord is implied.

Other Chords
Some chords are defined by the relation to the key rather than by any inherent characteristics. The Neapolitan chord, for example, expressed as N in analysis notation, is an ordinary major chord, but its root is the lowered supertonic of the corresponding key, so the Neapolitan of C major is a D♭ major chord. Additionally, the Neapolitan is usually found in first inversion. A borrowed chord is one from the parallel major or minor key. In C major, the parallel key is C minor and borrowed chords include E♭ major, B♭ major, and F minor.

Milton Manor

Milton Manor  (also Middleton in the 13th century) is a manor house in the parish of Brading on the Isle of Wight, in England.

History
Milton was held with land in Adgestone, of the manor of Appleford for the service of half a knight's fee. The manor was given by Queen Eleanor in 1280 to John de Weston and Christina his wife. John died seised of it in 1323–4, when his son John succeeded. On his death in 1344 the manor passed to his brother William, a clerk in holy orders. In 1346 Katherine de Weston held the manor, and in 1354 Thomas de Weston died seised of it, leaving as his heirs his daughter Eleanor wife of Sir John de Rattlesden, his granddaughters Eleanor and Isabel daughters of another daughter Margaret and his grandson Roger, son of another daughter Isabel. The eldest co-heir Eleanor is perhaps to be identified with Eleanor wife of Sir William Bouchier, kt., who died seised of a quarter fee in Milton in 1397. Her heir was her son William, but John Haket was holding the estate at the end of the 14th century, and was returned for aid in 1428 as holding the de Weston half fee with Henry Howles, the latter being succeeded in the joint holding three years later by John Roucle or Rookley.

In the 15th century the manor seems to have been split up into East and West Milton. East Middleton, the Hakets' portion of the manor, passed with Wolverton, with which it evidently became merged, as the joint holding was known as Wolverton alias Milton from the end of the 16th century onwards. West Milton apparently passed with East Standen to Joan Cooke, who leased it in 1514 to William Howles. The lease, and apparently later the tenancy, of the manor came like East Standen into the hands of the Meux and Bannister families, and in 1573 William Meux sold two parts of West Milton to John Worsley of Appuldurcombe, the remaining third being sold by Sir Edward Bannister in 1616 to Sir Richard Worsley. West Milton thus became united with East Milton, and subsequently followed its descent.

Outdoor Survival/Survival Kit

There are many debates about what makes a survival kit. Below is a list of useful items to have with you. Remember to there is more to being prepared than a survival kit. Each person has their own personal needs, which can drastically change the following suggestions.

Items in bold can easily be carried in a small back pack whenever you go into the outdoors even for just part of a day. The other items should be brought on any trips longer than a day.

 * Water is an absolute must! Your body can not survive without fresh, clean water!!!
 * cell phone with a charged battery (charge it once a month to make sure that it does not lose its charge over a few months. Also note that you may not be able to get a signal if you are in the wild.) or
 * Portable CB radio (handheld CB radios have very limited range)
 * A container that should be something in which you can boil water and cook. Stainless steel is best. If you have to, remember you can boil water in almost anything, even straight in the water bottle.
 * Knife  with a solid blade and a tang that goes down into the handle (a good knife is very important). A knife that has the blade and handle made of one solid piece of metal (like a dive knife) is even better. There are many uses for a knife, such as carving, safety, marking, etc.
 * Knife sharpener (a dull knife is dangerous)
 * Flint and steel striker (in case matches fail)
 * Waterproof / Windproof matches (get good ones)
 * Disposable lighter, such as a Bic™
 * Water purification tablets or pump (Tablets may be more practical, as pumps can be expensive, and take up a lot of space.)
 * Water tight container (a heavy duty zip lock freezer bag will do)
 * High calorie food light and non perishable. (Nuts, energy bars, and peanut butter work well). When out in the wild, you will need a larger calorie intake.
 * sighting mirror to use for signaling or fire starting
 * Whistle
 * Beanie  to keep you warm you lose lots of heat from your head in hot environments a wide brimmed hat.
 * sunscreen and lip balm
 * Bug repellent
 * Bright plastic marking tape (to leave a trail for others to follow)
 * waterproof nylon tarp
 * Poncho, big plastic bag will do
 * Emergency "space bag, blanket" sleeping bag made of mylar (it's only about a 2" cube and works by reflecting your body heat). If you have room in your kit for two, that's even better. Put one on the ground then put a layer of leaves then the second blanket and then wrap yourself up in the layers. Or use one as a tent and the other as a blanket.
 * Parachute cord (at least 20 feet)
 * Folding portable cooking stove and solid fuel tablets (it is also small and inexpensive)
 * Map of the area, the best one being a topographic
 * Compass Remember you can tell direction using the sun to some degree of accuracy: Sun rises in the East sets in the West.
 * Money and Spare change for phone calls
 * Anti-diarrheal medicine (as drinking from a potentially unsafe water source carries the risk of sometimes-fatal dehydration)'''
 * Aspirin or similar medicine with anti-inflammatory, fever-reducing and pain-relieving qualities. (Acetaminophen, brand name Tylenol™, Ibuprofen, brand name Advil™)
 * Self-adhesive bandages & Cotton balls (such as Band-Aids™ brand) Cotton balls work well for swabs as well as tinder for starting a fire.
 * Watch to keep track of the time
 * Survival or First Aid Book provides fire starting materials( paper), helps relax by reading may tell you what you need to survive.
 * Flash Light The led kind are very light and last a long time. Make sure to have extra batteries or a shake recharge flash light.
 * Collapsible camp-cup and 4-foot square of clear, flexible, thin-gauge plastic sheeting like the kind used as paint drop-clothes The plastic sheeting is used to make water. This is done by digging a small hole about two feet in diameter and six inches deep.  The dimensions are not critical.  Once the hole is ready, place any water-bearing organic matter such as grass or leaves in the hole in a thin layer along the bottom.  Place the cup in the center of the hole.  Place the plastic sheet over the hole and weight it down around the edges with dirt and/or rocks.  Take a small rock and place it above the cup, so that the plastic dimples down directly over the cup.  As the sun begins to heat the contents of the hole, the water vapor steams out of the organic matter, condenses on the plastic, and drips down the dimple and into the cup.  This works, but it takes time.  Remember, any organic, water-bearing matter will work - including waste products.  The water produced will be pure since it is distilled.
 * And finally, Confidence

The important thing here is that you make your survival kit small and light enough that you bring it with you if you travel in rural areas leave it in your car.

Another important aspect of the survival kit is the container in which it is carried. The kit above in bold should not have to be that big or heavy but a good backpack of some sort is important for ease of carrying, energy savings, and for the comfort of the survivalist.

The other items you should have on longer trips may be heavier and need to be carried in a pack meant for back packing or kept in your car.

You can also keep a survival kit where you live for general emergencies.

Bingo (folk song)

"Bingo" (also known as "Bingo Was His Name-O", "There Was a Farmer Had a Dog" or "B-I-N-G-O") is an English language children's song and folksong about a farmer’s dog. Additional verses are sung by omitting the first letter sung in the previous verse and clapping or barking the number of times instead of actually saying each letter in the key of D major. Its Roud Folk Song Index number is 589.

Lyrics
The contemporary version generally goes as follows:

Though the first line is ungrammatical in standard English, using an apo koinou construction, it is nearly always sung with the lyrics as stated. The identity of Bingo is formally ambiguous, and it is occasionally suggested that it is the name of the farmer.

Earlier forms
The earliest reference to any form of the song is from the title of a piece of sheet music published in 1780, which attributed the song to William Swords, an actor at the Haymarket Theatre of London. Early versions of the song were variously titled "The Farmer's Dog Leapt o'er the Stile", "A Franklyn's Dogge", or "Little Bingo".

An early transcription of the song (without a title) dates from the 1785 songbook "The Humming Bird," and reads: This is how most people know the traditional children's song:

A similar transcription exists from 1840, as part of The Ingoldsby Legends, the transcribing of which is credited in part to a "Mr. Simpkinson from Bath" (a parody version of the antiquary John Britton). This version drops several of the repeated lines found in the 1785 version and the transcription uses more archaic spelling and the first lines read "A franklyn's dogge" rather than "The farmer's dog." A version similar to the Ingoldsby one (with some spelling variations) was also noted from 1888.

The presence of the song in the United States was noted by Robert M. Charlton in 1842. English folklorist Alice Bertha Gomme recorded eight forms in 1894. Highly-differing versions were recorded in Monton, Shropshire, Liphook and Wakefield, Staffordshire, Nottinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Derbyshire and Enborne. All of these versions were associated with children's games, the rules differing by locality. Early versions of "Bingo" were also noted as adult drinking songs.

Variations on the lyrics refer to the dog variously as belonging to a miller or a shepherd, and/or named "Bango" or "Pinto". In some variants, variations on the following third stanza are added:

This stanza is placed before or substituted for the stanza starting with "And is this not a sweet little song?"

Versions that are variations on the early version of "Bingo" have been recorded in classical arrangements by Frederick Ranalow (1925), John Langstaff (1952), and Richard Lewis (1960). Under the title "Little Bingo", a variation on the early version was recorded twice by folk singer Alan Mills, on Animals, Vol. 1 (1956) and on 14 Numbers, Letters, and Animal Songs (1972).

In popular culture

 * The Cartoon Network program Camp Lazlo uses the tune for its theme song while using Lazlo's name.
 * In The Simpsons episode "Lisa's Sax", in Bart's kindergarten days, he sang Bingo misplacing the claps, "B-I-(clap)-(clap)-O!" The song was also in "There's No Disgrace Like Home", in a vision Homer had about his family being hell-ish and another family, who sang the song, being heavenly. The song is also played during the closing credits of this episode.
 * A Sesame Street animated video (in the "Furry Friends Forever" web series) featured Elmo and his pet dog Tango. In this version of the song, "farmer" was replaced with "monster" and "Bingo" was replaced with "Tango."
 * In the Toon In with Me episode "Bingo Bill", Bill the Cartoon Curator (played by Bill Leff) sings this song.

St Mary's Abbey Figurine

The St. Mary's Abbey Figurine is a medieval gilt-copper alloy, Limoges enamel figurine found in St. Mary's Abbey, York in 1826. It was acquired by the Yorkshire Museum in 2019.

History
The figurine was discovered in the ruins of St. Mary's Abbey in 1826. This information is recorded on an antiquarian label stuck to the back of the figure. It was lost until the 1920s, when it was recorded in the private collection of Franz Monheim of Aachen (1891–1969) and then passed down to his family. The figurine was publicly auctioned by Monheim's family, through the Van Ham auction house in Cologne, on 15 May 2019.

It was purchased for €8500. This purchase price was raised by York Museums Trust through grants from Arts Council England and the V&A Purchase Grant Fund.

Description
The figurine measures 16 cm in height. It depicts the Crucifixion of Jesus in gilded copper-alloy. It has the remains of enamel champlevé decoration and includes stone settings on the crown, eyes and loincloth. Both hands and feet are missing. The back is hollow and included an adhesive label, which reads “Found in the ruins of St. Mary’s Abbey at York: in 1826”. It is an example of Limoges enamelwork and was made in France in the 13th Century.

Public display
The figurine first went on public display on 21 September 2019 in the Medieval gallery of the Yorkshire Museum.

Overview

 * An interesting (and FREE) alternative
 * This course is designed for Apple's GarageBand with Jam Pack:Symphony Orchestra. However, there is an very interesting alternative which is free.  This is the demo version of Notation Protégé which is fully working for 30 days.

 * Learning musical notation
 * This course does not teach you to understand musical notaion. There are many tutorials on the Internet for this.  Notation Protégé is a very good excuse to learn musical notation.  It creates wonderful sounds so you know when you have it right (unlike Finalé Note Pad.)

 * Creating moods with the sounds of a symphony orchestra
 * Creating musical sound effects using Notation Protégé is not difficult if you know musical notation. All you do is find different sounds which create moods.  This is it!  That is the entire lesson.  This is why even musicians who are not filmmakers can create effective musical scores with Notation Protégé if they know musical notation.

 * Wrong page?
 * If you got to this page by mistake, click on the option at the top of the page (if you have GarageBand with Jam Pack:Symphony Orchestra or just GarageBand by itself.) If you have only GarageBand by itself, I strongly suggest you try Notation Protégé or you buy Jam Pack:Symphony Orchestra to use with GarageBand.

The Sound of Fear
Some musical sounds automatically create the sound of fear. The most common musical instrument sound which creates the sound of fear is the violin trill.
 * Creating moods with individual notes

A trill is a special musical sound created with bowed instruments such as a violin. Most filmmakers cannot play a trill on a violin. Not in a million years.
 * "It's a trill!"

Yet with Jam Pack:Symphony Orchestra, all a filmmaker need do is press one key on the keyboard to get a wonderfully realistic trill sound. For filmmakers with no musical talent, this is a miracle. Using the software instruments in the Macintosh computer, a filmmaker can create fantasitc sounds for motion pictures.

Just playing a violin trill is not enough. When you play a violin trill with GarageBand, the trill turns on and then turns off. This is not realistic. To make the trill seem realistic, you must adjust the volume of the sound so it fades in and fades out. That is simple!
 * Fade in and fade out

This entire process is fast. Super fast! Once you have found the correct musical instrument to create the mood you want and after you have adjusted the volume of the note, you are done. How easy can it get!!!
 * That's it!

Gavin Grimm
Gavin Grimm is a rising activist for transgender youth. While attending his own senior High school year in Gloucester, Virginia, members on the school board denied him access to use the boy’s restroom, violating his rights as stated in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Gavin then filed a federal law suit against the board, but due to President Trump’s administration revoking school regulations that would provide protection for transgender students against discrimination, his case was sent back to the court of appeals. Grimm graduated high school in 2017, never having the ability to use the same restroom as his fellow male students during his attendance. As of 2019, Gavin’s amended complaint against the board was ruled in his favor, stating the school violated his rights under Title IX and the 14th Amendment. Some individuals are less fortunate than others. A Transgender man name Brandon Teena, was raped and murdered in 1993. The movie "Boys Don't Cry", released in October 1999, was a film based on the true story of his life.

Dueling Economics
I got rid of the sections about Paul Volcker and Milton Friedman and Krugman because they had nothing to do with David Stockman. It is an article about the man not an economics debate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:06, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Reagan Years Post "Education"
The article offers nothing to explain what Stockman was doing between the 1981 article and his 1985 departure. It's a little hard to swallow his power waning and him becoming "disillusioned" after his first year and then skipping directly to his departure 3.5 years later. Anyone able to fill in that gap a bit?02:43, 23 October 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Czrisher (talk • contribs)

Maurepas, Yvelines

Maurepas is a commune in the Yvelines department in the Île-de-France region in north-central France. It is located in the western suburbs of Paris 31.2 km from the center.

History
Most ancient buildings are the ruins of the donjon, built in the 11th century and destroyed in 1425.

There is also near St Sauveur's church, dating from the 15th century.

In 768, the French king Pepin the Short offered the village of Maurepas (formerly spelled Malrepast) and its wooden keep to the Abbey of Saint-Denis. Facing the Normans' invasions, they left the domain to the Lords of Chevreuse. The castle and village were given to the family of Malrepast, a vassal of the Lords of Chevreuse, which gave its name to the village.

In 1432, during the Hundred Years' War, the English conquered the village and destroyed the keep.

After the war, the domain of Maurepas returned to the family of Chevreuse, but the castle remained a ruin.

Jean-Frédéric Phélypeaux from the Phélypeaux family, was Count of Maurepas. He was living in the next city of Jouars-Pontchartrain in the Château de Pontchartrain.

People
who lived in Maurepas
 * Erich von Stroheim - (1885–1957), Austrian-American actor, film director, producer born in Vienna, Austria, died at his home in Maurepas from cancer.

Transportation
Maurepas is served by no station of the Paris Métro, RER, or suburban rail network. The closest station to Maurepas is La Verrière station on the Transilien La Défense and Transilien Paris – Montparnasse suburban rail lines. This station is located in the neighboring commune of La Verrière, 0.7 km from the town center of Maurepas.

General Chemistry/Ionic bonding

What are ions?
Ions are atoms or molecules which are electrically charged. Cations are positively charged and anions carry a negative charge. Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons. Since electrons are negatively charged, an atom that loses one or more electrons will become positively charged; an atom that gains one or more electrons becomes negatively charged.

Description of Ionic Bonding
Ionic bonding is the attraction between positively- and negatively-charged ions. These oppositely charged ions attract each other to form ionic networks (or lattices). Electrostatics explains why this happens: opposite charges attract and like charges repel. When many ions attract each other, they form large, ordered, crystal lattices in which each ion is surrounded by ions of the opposite charge. Generally, when metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metals to the non-metals (this is because metals tend to have relatively low ionization energy and non-metals tend to have high electron affinity). The metals form positively-charged ions and the non-metals form negatively-charged ions. The smallest unit of an ionic compound is the formula unit, but this unit merely reflects that ratio of ions that leads to neutrality of the whole crystal, e.g. NaCl or MgCl2. One cannot distinguish individual NaCl or MgCl2 molecules in the structure.

It is however possible that the stacking consists of molecular ions like NH4+ and NO3- in ammonium nitrate. In such structures, the ions are charged molecules rather than charged atoms.

Ionic bonding may also be referred to as electrovalent bonding.

Characteristics
Example ionic compounds: Sodium chloride ($$NaCl$$), potassium nitrate ($$KNO_3$$).

Ionically bonded substances typically have the following characteristics.

In general the forces keeping the lattice together depend on the product of the charges of the ions it consists of. A comparison e.g. of NaCl (+1)*(-1) to MgO (+2)*(-2) shows that magnesium oxide is kept together much more strongly -roughly 4 times- than sodium chloride. This is why sodium chloride has a much lower melting point and also dissolves much more easily in a solvent like water than magnesium oxide does.
 * High melting point (solid at room temperature)
 * Hard but brittle (can shatter)
 * Many dissolve in water
 * Conductors of electricity when dissolved or melted

Solubility
Most ionic compounds are soluble in polar solvents. Polar solvents are simply solvents that have molecules with positive and negative poles. The most common example of a polar solvent is water (H2O).

The reason that they are soluble in polar solvents is because the positive ions are attracted to the negative pole of the solvent and the negative ions are attracted to the positive pole of the solvent. Due to this, the ionic compound dissociates or splits in the solvent into its constituent ions.

For example, H2O is composed of relatively more positive hydrogen atoms and relatively more negative oxygen atoms. When an ionic compound like NaCl is added to the water, the positive ions will be attracted to the more negative oxygen atoms and negative ions will be attracted to the more positive hydrogen atoms.

This is a very useful property of many ionic compounds, but not all, as there are exceptions where certain compounds cannot be dissolved in certain polar solvents.

Conduction
For a substance to conduct electricity, there must be some carrier of charge. For example, in metals, what transports the charge is the mobile electrons surrounding the positive ions.

However, in the solid state, ionic compounds lack any mobile particle capable of carrying charge as the ions cannot move within the lattice because the electrostatic force holding them in place is extremely strong. This changes when the compound is dissolved or molten. When dissolved, the ions dissociate and are capable of moving around. The same is true for molten ionic compounds. Which is why molten and dissolved ionic compounds can conduct electricity, while solid ionic compounds cannot.

Formation
Ionic bonding occurs when metals and non-metals chemically react. As a result of its low ionization energy, a metal atom is not destabilized very much if it loses electrons to form a complete valence shell and becomes positively charged. As its affinity is rather large, a non-metal is stabilized rather strongly by gaining electrons to complete its valence shell and become negatively charged. When metals and non-metals react, the metals lose electrons by transferring them to the non-metals, which gain them. The total process -a small loss plus a large gain- leads to a net lowering of the energy. Consequently, ions are formed, which instantly attract each other leading to ionic bonding.

For instance, in the reaction of Na (sodium) and Cl (chlorine), each Cl atom takes one electron from a Na atom. Therefore each Na becomes a Na+ cation and each Cl atom becomes a Cl- anion. Due to their opposite charges, they attract each other and are joined by millions and millions of other ions to form an ionic lattice. The lattice energy that results from this massive collective stacking further stabilizes the new compound. The formula (ratio of positive to negative ions) in the lattice is NaCl, i.e. there are equal numbers of positive and negative charges ensuring neutrality.

The charges must balance because otherwise the repulsion between the majority charges would become prohibitive. In the case of magnesium chloride, the magnesium atom gives up two electrons to become stable. Note that it is in the second group, so it has two valence electrons. The chlorine atom can only accept one electron, so there must be two chlorine ions for each magnesium ion. Therefore, the formula for magnesium chloride is MgCl2. If magnesium oxide were forming, the formula would be MgO because oxygen can accept both of magnesium's electrons.

It should also be noted that some atoms can form more than one ion. This usually happens with the transition metals. For instance Fe (iron) can become Fe2+ (called iron(II) or -by an older name- ferrous). Fe can also become Fe3+ (called iron(III) or -sometimes still- ferric).

Common Ions
Ionic bonding typically occurs in reactions between a metal and non-metal, but there are also certain molecules called polyatomic ions that undergo ionic bonding. Within these polyatomic ions, there can be covalent (or polar) bonding, but as a unit it undergoes ionic bonding. There are countless polyatomic ions, but you should be familiar with the most common ones. You would be well advised to memorize these ions.

Daoism

Daoism (sometimes Taoism) is a variety of related philosophical and religious traditions originating in China, with similar practices to Buddhism, although Daoism was said to have been practiced in China hundreds of years before Buddhism came from India.

Focusing heavily on naturalistic ideals, the religion seeks to free its practitioners from the pointlessness of the current form of humanity. Daoism sees the current social structure of humanity as a degeneration of the natural order of things, and seeks to be one with the Dao (literally trans. "way"). Dao is a difficult word to understand, having many different conceptual ties. Dao can refer not only to a pure way of life, but also to all physical things, closely relating to the Chinese concept of Chi.

The most well known texts of Daoism are the Dao-de Ching and the Zhuang-zu, both written around 500 BCE. Although, like Buddhism and Hinduism, Daoism has a large canon of hundreds of texts pertaining to the religion.

Currently, Daoism does not enjoy the popularity of Buddhism or Confucianism in China, although there are still some who follow the old ways.

List of ambassadors of Australia to Japan

The ambassador of Australia to Japan is an officer of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the head of the Embassy of the Commonwealth of Australia to Japan. The position has the rank and status of an ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary and is based in the Australian Embassy in Tokyo. Peter Roberts is currently filling in as chargé d’affaires.

Posting history
Japan and Australia have enjoyed full diplomatic relations since 1940 when the Australian Legation opened and the first Minister, Sir John Latham, presented credentials to Emperor Showa in January 1941. The legation in Japan is one of Australia's earliest independent diplomatic missions outside the British Empire, closely following the legation in the United States established on 1 March 1940. Latham's appointment replaced the semi-diplomatic work of the Australian Trade Commission in Tokyo, headed by trade commissioner Eric Longfield Lloyd, who was appointed in June 1935.

Longfield Lloyd's work, notwithstanding his limited ability to engage with matters outside of trade, was complicated by his vague status as a 'Trade Commissioner', a title that had no formal recognition of diplomatic status. As Australia was the only nation present in Japan that was represented by someone other than an ambassador, minister or consul, it gradually became clear that a higher-ranked appointment was needed. In November 1937, in order to help clarify his position, the term 'Trade' was removed from Longfield Lloyd's title to become the Australian 'Commissioner' in Tokyo. This did not change his diplomatic status however and Latham's appointment in August 1940 was praised as solving this issue: "[Longfield Lloyd] has been confined almost exclusively to trade matters. In this respect he has rendered excellent service to both countries. The appointment of Sir John Latham, however, to a diplomatic post in Japan is something of far more importance."

Full diplomatic relations were severed between December 1941 and 1952 on account of the declaration of war and the post-war occupation of Japan. In March 1947 a new Minister to Japan was appointed, but rather than being accredited to the Japanese Government they were accredited to the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, owing to the Occupation of Japan, and they also served as the British Commonwealth member on the Allied Council for Japan.

Suffolk Show

The Suffolk Show is an annual show that takes place at Trinity Park, on the eastern edge of Ipswich in the Purdis Farm area of the English county of Suffolk. It is organised by the Suffolk Agricultural Association, which was established in 1831 (registered charity no. 288595).

Cancellations

 * The Suffolk Show was cut short in 2012 due to high winds, resulting in a loss of at least £500,000 in revenue. The Suffolk show offered refunds to ticket-holders and traders for the cancelled second day, a decision which the show's committee and executive board agreed upon unanimously.

 * Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Suffolk Show was canceled in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, it returned with RAF and Army parachute displays, 600 trade stands, and 12 competition rings. The 2022 return of the show also saw a Platinum Jubilee pageant for then British monarch Queen Elizabeth II, where the 588-mile Festival of Suffolk torch relay in honour of which came to an end. The relay was "part of several county-wide events taking place to celebrate the Queen's 70th year as monarch."

James Williams (cornerback)

James Earl "J.D." Williams (born March 30, 1967) is an American football coach and former cornerback who is the cornerbacks coach for the Fresno State Bulldogs. He played college football at Fresno State and was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the first round of the 1990 NFL Draft. Williams played in six NFL seasons, from 1990 to 1994 and 1996 for the Bills, Arizona Cardinals, and San Francisco 49ers.

Williams was most notable for being the first player on the Buffalo Bills squad to don number 31, which had been "retired" to represent the spirit of the franchise. Since Williams wore the number, the Bills have allowed anyone to wear the 31 jersey; it was later worn by Dwayne Wright, who like Williams, went to Fresno State. Jairus Byrd wore the number before becoming a free agent; he used it because his college number, 32, was unofficially retired because of O. J. Simpson.

After retiring from football, Williams became a football coach beginning in 1997 as a graduate assistant at Fresno State.

Ferenc Farkas (Jesuit priest)

Ferenc Farkas de Boldogfa (13 December 1742 – 4 June 1807) was a Jesuit priest, parish priest of Nemesapáti, poet, and master canon of the Diocese of Veszprém.

Life
Ferenc (in English: Francis) was born in Zalaboldogfa in the county of Zala, in the former Kingdom of Hungary as was a member of the ancient Roman Catholic Hungarian noble family Farkas de Boldogfa (in Hungarian: boldogfai Farkas család). His father was Ferenc Farkas de Boldogfa (1713-1770), jurist, landowner, vice-ispán of the county of Zala (alispán of Zala). His mother was the Hungarian noble lady Anna Mária Rosty de Barkócz (1722-1784), daughter of László Rosty de Barkócz, chief magistrate (Hungarian: főszolgabíró) of the Vas county and Mária Csapody de Zalalövő. One of his brothers was József Farkas de Boldogfa (1752-1809) Piarist priest, rector of the Piarist convent of Kolozsvár. The other brother from whom descends the family's two branches was János Farkas de Boldogfa (1741-1788), jurist, lawyer, landowner, Prothonotary of the county of Zala.

Ferenc started his studies at the age of 16 in Wien, when he entered into the Jesuit Order. He finished his studies of theology in Nagyszombat, and then he was the supervisor of the convict for a year. He celebrated his first mass on 18 June 1769 in Zélpuszta, in the family's chapel that his father built on their private Estate. After the Jesuit order was abolished in 1773, he became parish priest on Nemesapáti, an office which he occupied for about 30 years. During this time he managed to achieve the church's total restoration and the cemetery's replanning. In 1779 his mother Anna Rosty wrote her will, where she ordered that after her death, her other sons will assist economically Ferenc, in other he will have a comfortable retirement, as a member of the clergy he had no possessions. In 1794 he became the dean of the district of Nagykanizsa, and in 1803 master prebendary of Veszprém (Latin: "Reverendissimus C. E. W. Magister Canonicus"). He was also the director of the Saint Paul retired priests' house on Veszprém (Latin: Seminarii S. Pauli Emeritorim DD. Parrochorum Praefectus).

Monday Night Baseball

Monday Night Baseball was an American live game telecast of Major League Baseball (MLB) that aired on Monday nights during the regular season.

Earlier incarnations of Monday Night Baseball aired on NBC and then ABC in the 1970s and 1980s.

These games formerly aired weekly on ESPN. The game started at 7 p.m. ET, following SportsCenter, and usually lasted around three hours leading up to an hour-long Baseball Tonight. The program sometimes aired on ESPN2 rather than ESPN, often due to NBA playoff coverage in April and May, and preseason Monday Night Football coverage in August.

Beginning with the 2022 Major League Baseball season, ESPN significantly reduced their MLB schedule, which included cutting their Monday Night Baseball games. Monday night games now occasionally air on Fox Sports 1 as part of their irregularly scheduled weeknight games, and on and MLB Network as part of their MLB Network Showcase package.

The NBC years (1966–1975)
Monday Night Baseball was born on October 19, 1966, when NBC signed a three-year contract to televise the game. Under the deal, NBC paid roughly $6 million per year for the 25 Games of the Week, $6.1 million for the 1967 World Series and 1967 All-Star Game, and $6.5 million for the 1968 World Series and 1968 All-Star Game. This brought the total value of the contract (which included three Monday night telecasts each season) up to $30.6 million.

From 1972–1975 NBC televised Monday games under a contract worth $72 million. In 1973, NBC extended the Monday night telecasts to 15 straight (with a local blackout). September 1, 1975 saw NBC's last Monday Night Baseball game, in which the Montreal Expos beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6–5.

Curt Gowdy called the Monday night games with Tony Kubek from 1972 to 1974, the pair being joined in 1973 and 1974 by various guest commentators from both in and out of the baseball world. Jim Simpson and Maury Wills called the secondary backup games. Joe Garagiola hosted NBC's pregame show, The Baseball World of Joe Garagiola, and teamed with Gowdy to call the games in 1975.

The ABC years (1976–1988)
ABC would pick up the television rights for Monday Night Baseball games in the following year. Just like with Monday Night Football, ABC brought in the concept of the three-man-booth (originally composed of Bob Prince, Bob Uecker, and Warner Wolf as the primary crew) to their baseball telecasts.

Ratings were typically poor for ABC's Monday night games, and by 1986, ABC only televised 13 Monday Night Baseball games. This was a fairly sharp contrast to the 18 games to that were scheduled in 1978. The Sporting News suggested that ABC paid Major League Baseball to not make them televise the regular season, opining that the network only wanted the sport for October anyway. For most of its time on ABC, the Monday night games were held on "dead travel days" when few games were scheduled. The team owners liked that arrangement, as the ABC games didn't compete against their stadium box offices and local telecasts. The network, on the other hand, found the arrangement far more complicated; ABC often had only one or two games to pick from for each telecast from a schedule designed by Major League Baseball. While trying to give all of the teams national exposure, ABC ended up with a surplus of games involving games between either small-market teams and/or teams with losing records.

In 1989, the final year of ABC's contract with Major League Baseball, ABC moved the baseball telecasts to Thursday nights in hopes of getting a leg up against NBC's The Cosby Show. The network also aired some late-season games on Sunday afternoons.

ESPN (2006–2021)
ESPN occasionally carried Monday night games after signing television rights deals with MLB in 1990, though the main regular broadcasts were Sunday Night Baseball and the Wednesday Night Baseball doubleheader. The network began carrying Monday night games regularly as part of the eight-year television contract that ESPN signed in 2005, replacing the second Wednesday night game. Unlike Sunday Night Baseball, the game was non-exclusive, meaning it would also be carried by the teams' local broadcasters, and telecasts were typically blacked out in the participating teams' markets.

Because ESPN broadcasts Monday Night Football beginning with pre-season games in mid-August, late season Monday Night Baseball games would either move to ESPN2 or ESPN would broadcast a doubleheader as part of Wednesday Night Baseball. On some occasions, ESPN scheduled two games to air simultaneously, with one game airing on ESPN and the second on ESPN2. Both telecasts are branded with the Wednesday Night Baseball name, but one featured the Monday night announce team.

In 2021, ESPN agreed to a new contract with Major League Baseball through the 2028 season. However, the deal included only around 30 exclusive broadcasts, 25 of which would take place on Sunday Night Baseball, thus ending regular Monday Night Baseball broadcasts.

Rivington House

Rivington House (45 Rivington Street) is a building located at Rivington Street and Forsyth Street in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in New York City. It was originally constructed as an elementary school known as Public School 20 in 1898, and then operated as a vocational school beginning in 1942. In the 1990s, the building was purchased by Village Nursing Home (later VillageCare) and was converted into a specialty nursing home for patients with HIV/AIDS.

The building gained media attention in 2015 when it was planned to lift the deed restriction on the building, allowing it to be transformed into a residential or commercial property. When the building was ultimately sold for $116 million, Mayor Bill de Blasio drew criticism for straying from his policy to increase affordable housing in the city. The building was eventually reclassified and sold to China Vanke Co., Adam America Real Estate, and Slate Property Group for residential development.

Design
The Rivington House is located on the south side of Rivington Street between Forsyth Street and Eldridge Street in the Lower East Side. Across Forsyth Street to the west is Sara Delano Roosevelt Park. The building was constructed from 1897 to 1898, designed by architect C. B. J. Snyder in Renaissance Revival or Romanesque Revival style. Snyder, at the time the city's Superintendent of School Buildings, designed numerous other schools throughout the city. The building is five stories tall, with a basement and a small sixth floor in the center of the building. Its exterior features several decorative elements, including large stone-framed windows, several of which are arched, stone belt courses in between stories, and terracotta moldings. It also features several decorative plaques, including two at the front entrance on Rivington Street representing the New York City government. The interior, meanwhile, contains cast-iron columns with decorative elements.

The building was originally U-shaped, which was a common quirk of Snyder-designed schools and other city schools to let in more natural light. The open-space was filled in during the 1990s renovations to the building. It also originally featured a yellow-brick facade, but was later altered with pink-red bricks.

The building was renovated from 1993 to 1994 into a nursing home for HIV/AIDS patients by the Perkins & Will and Davis Brody firms. The first floor features a lobby with reception and gift shop areas, a chapel, a meeting room, administrative space, and an intensive care unit with 17 beds. The remaining four floors each contain around 50 beds along with two nurses stations and dining areas. The fifth or penthouse floor contains additional recreation facilities. A ward for tuberculosis patients was also constructed. The basement contains utilities, kitchen facilities, and labs including a radiology suite. A loading dock was constructed as a southern extension of the original building on Forsyth Street.

As a school building
Public School 20 was completed in 1898,  opening on September 12, 1898. Upon opening, the school was also used as an evening recreation center for children. Alumni of the elementary school include Irving Caesar, George and Ira Gershwin, Harry Golden, Jacob Javitz, Paul Muni, and Edward G. Robinson.  In 1934, construction began on Sara Delano Roosevelt Park across the street, which would provide boys and girls playgrounds for Public School 20 and the nearby Public School 91.

Public School 20 was closed in June 1942 due to low enrollment, with the nearby P.S. 91 expanding to replace it. Afterwards, the building became the Manhattan Trades Center and hosted special vocational programs for the New York City Board of Education. This began with a high school program to train radio operators which opened on October 7, 1942. The programs at the school contributed to the United States efforts during World War II, with graduates going on to become technicians and radio operators in the Armed Forces and the Merchant Marine. The school also featured programs to train disabled and vision impaired individuals. Following the end of the war, the Board of Education created accelerated vocational and academic programs at the school for returning veterans.

In 1963, a new Public School 20 was opened at Stanton Street and Essex Street. By 1963, the building at Rivington Street was used as the New York City Adult Training Center. At this time, the school operated programs training unemployed people to work in occupations such as house painting, as well a programs to train orderlies and licensed practical nurses, through an initiative from the federal Manpower Development and Training Act.

As a nursing home
On April 18, 1989, then-New York City Mayor Ed Koch announced that the school would be redeveloped by the Village Nursing Home group into a facility called the Rivington House for patients suffering from HIV/AIDS. The nursing home would contain 230 beds, 80 of which would be reserved for patients from city hospitals. This was in response to the outbreak of the disease around this time, with the Lower East Side being one of the most affected neighborhoods in the city. Later plans called for 45 beds reserved for tuberculosis patients. At this time, the school building had gone unused for several years.

The building was sold by the city to Village Nursing Home and was reconstructed from 1993 to 1994, with funding from public bonds. The renovations were designed by the Perkins & Will and Davis Brody firms. The Davis Brody firm had several employees who had contracted AIDS. The nursing home opened in 1995 with 219 beds. Initially, the typical length of stay for patients was only 12 to 15 days with a 50 percent mortality rate. As treatment options for AIDS improved, by 1997 the length of patient stay increased and many were able to leave the facility and return home. In addition to in-patient care, the Rivington House also offered outpatient services and job placement assistance for patients.

Closure and sale
Rivington House operated as a HIV/AIDS nursing home until 2015. The lack of patients and the change in community care for people with HIV led VillageCare to announce in 2014 that they would be closing the facility in Manhattan. As local press reported at the time, “the need for a single-purpose skilled nursing facility like Rivington House that segregates AIDS patients is long past."

By 2015, Rivington House was non-performing and nearly vacant, and a nursing home operator in the region called The Allure Group purchased the building. Within the first year under new ownership, the building featured in the New York City press after an application was made to change the property's deed restrictions. Its restrictive deed prevented the property from being developed like many of the buildings in the same district, stating that the building had to be used for non-profit residential health care.

Following the required payment to the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, as determined by the city, the building's deed restriction was lifted, and The Allure Group sold the building for $116 million to a developer. While sales of this value are common in New York City, the media honed in on Mayor Bill de Blasio for moving away from his policy of providing affordable housing. Ricardo Morales, a deputy commissioner at the Citywide Department of Administrative Services was eventually relieved of his duties following the sale of Rivington House.

More information about the deal entered the media in 2016, when Mayor Bill de Blasio suggested he didn't know about the land deal, prior to signing off on the lifting of the deed restriction. The statement made by Bill de Blasio was questioned following the release of a report by the New York City Department of Investigation. The report suggested that while many city officials denied knowing about the details of the deal, they were in fact fully aware of what was taking place. The NY Post reported that Bill de Blasio's administration offered millions of dollars the month prior, in February 2016, to effectively undo the deal as it would reflect badly on the administration.

The report stated that both The Allure Group and the city wanted to reclassify the building, and both parties knew a $17 million fee was needed specifically to remove the deed restriction. The report also showed that the city understood any fees would result in the nursing home being flipped by The Allure Group, as the property was no longer viable in its current position. The New York Times and NY Post made similar remarks to the report, referring to a meeting on March 11, 2015. If a $16.15 million payment was required to lift the deed restriction it “could not afford to pay the cost to remove the deed restriction and retain the property as a nursing home,” and “would consider converting the property into a luxury apartment building and forgo the nursing home renovation.”

The city of New York opened an investigation into what had gone wrong with their management of the situation. However, the probe found no illegal conduct. The city announced they could not sue The Allure Group, as legally they had not done anything wrong and determined instead that there was a need to revamp its own internal policies and procedures. Despite the controversy caused by the sale and removing the deed restriction from Rivington House, the state legislators decided to reject a bill aimed at preventing similar sales from taking place in the future.

Battle of Ilopango Airport

The Battle of Ilopango Airport was a military engagement fought at the Ilopango International Airport in El Salvador in late January 1981. The battle was a part of the Salvadoran Civil War. It was fought between soldiers of the Salvadoran Air Force and guerrillas of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front.

Background
On October 15, 1979, the Salvadoran Civil War began with a coup being staged against the President, Carlos Humberto Romero. After the coup, the Revolutionary Government Junta of El Salvador was established and in 1980, the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front engaged in a guerrilla war against the government.

Battle
In late January 1981, FMLN guerrillas launched the Final Offensive. As a part of the offensive, the FMLN attacked the Ilopango International Airport which was recently converted into a Salvadoran Air Force base with the opening of the Comalapa International Airport in January 1980. The guerrillas primary goal was to damage infrastructure as to hamper the efforts of the government in stopping the FMLN. As a result, aircraft and helicopters were the primary target of the attack.

The Air Force retained control of the airport and the FMLN retreated but the Air Force lost 14 UH-1H helicopters, 5 Dassault Ouragans, and 3 C-47s.

Aftermath
The attack on the Ilopango Airport was one of 439 acts of sabotage carried out by the FMLN during the Final Offensive from January to September 1981. The United States estimated the total damages cost $98 million

As a direct result of the attack, newly inaugurated US President Ronald Reagan called the FMLN attacks a "communist plot" and signed an executive order on February 1 authorizing $55 million in emergency military aid to be sent to the government of El Salvador.

HTML/Lists

There are three kinds of lists in HTML:

 * ordered lists
 * unordered lists
 * definition lists

Overview
Ordered and unordered lists are both lists of items. The only difference is that items are marked with numbers in ordered lists and bullets in unordered lists.

 * To create an ordered list, use the  tags.

 * To create an unordered list, use the  tags.

 * To create an item in a list, use the  tags between a set of list tags.

Lists can be placed inside one another. This is called "nesting". Ordered lists can be nested inside unordered lists and vice versa. The only limit to nesting is the physical space available on a page; each nested list is indented more and leaves less space for its items than its parent.

To nest, do this:

Ordered list
The code for an ordered list: The output of the above code:

 * 1) Item 1
 * 2) Item 2
 * 3) Item 3

Unordered list
The code for an unordered list: The output of the above code:

 * Item 1
 * Item 2
 * Item 3

Nested list
The code for a mixed nested list: The output of the above code:

 Item 1  Item 1.1 Item 1.2  Item 1.2.1 Item 1.2.2 Item 1.2.3

Item 2

Item 3

Item 3.1

Item 3.2

Overview

 * To create a definition list, use the  tags.
 * To create a term on the list, use the  tags.
 * To create a definition in a list, use the  tags between a set of list tags.

Livin' It

Livin' It is a skateboarding film directed by Stephen Baldwin and executive produced by Kevin Palau, son of evangelist Luis Palau. The film is aimed at a Christian audience, featuring footage of various skateboarders interspersed with interviews where they discuss their relationship with God. The film is a product of Palau and Baldwin’s Livin’ It Ministry, and would later be followed by a Livin’ It tour as well as related books and comics.

The film was shot in Portland, Oregon with a particular focus on Skatechurch, an evangelical skatepark founded by pastor Paul Andersen. Featured skateboarders and BMX riders include Jud Heald, Tim Byrne, Luke Braddock, Anthony Carney, Jared Lee, Phil Trotter, and Sierra Fellers. Kevin Palau and Stephen Baldwin make brief cameos throughout.

The ministry claims that more than 150,000 copies of Livin' It have been distributed. It combines skateboarding footage with what Baldwin calls a real message about life. In his interview with PBS, Baldwin said of the DVD: "That was the goal, to create something very cool that the kids could watch and then explore the DVD, go to those bonus features, hear the testimonies, hear about what’s going on in the lives of these guys they admire and look up to, and then hopefully be touched by it."

Removed stale POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV
An old neutrality tag that appears to have no active discussion has been removed from this page per the instructions at Template:POV:

 * This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever any one of the following is true:

 * There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved.
 * It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given.
 * In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

The article cites a wider range of sources than it did when the tag was added in November 2013, at this time there is no obvious overarching NPOV problem, and there is no evidence of ongoing discussion of neutrality, so I've removed the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! --Worldbruce (talk) 05:07, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

American Government/Political Parties

The country as envisioned by George Washington was to have no political parties. The good of the country on the whole was to be the total and unselfish goal of all. Even the electoral college was idealistically set up to elect the best man with the most votes as president and the second best, runner-up was to be vice-president. This did not allow for the current party system, with a "political ticket" running together as president/vice president.

This ideal quickly dissolved. During the term of John Adams a law called the sedition act came to be which was to limit dissent about the government itself. This desire has followed us into the 21st Century. During the rule of Adams, who also successfully defended the soldiers who, in a state of panic, opened fire on rioters during the Boston Massacre, several writers and others were thrown into jail. (The Boston Massacre was an event of the 1700s in which British troops opened fire on colonial civilians and caused several deaths and injuries. John Adams successfully defended British troops in court, because he did not want anyone to go without legal counsel.)

The Washingtonian ideal was dead when, in the election of 1800, Thomas Jefferson ran against John Adams. Jefferson beat Adams, but tied with his vice-presidential candidate Aaron Burr. This led to the electoral college being unable to reach a decision on the winner and the election was forced into the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives balloted 36 times before deciding on Thomas Jefferson as president, which was the clear will of the people. As a result of this election party politics was actively in motion, and the constitution was changed to separately elect the office of Vice President and President.

Third Parties
There are many third parties in American politics. The Green Party and Libertarian Party are parties that cross countries. These parties exist both in U.S. politics and world politics. While their beliefs are the same, the Green and Libertarian parties in the United States are separate from the parties of the same name in other countries. This same distinction is true of these parties in other countries.

The Greens are progressive. Ecology is only one part of their platform. They also believe in racial diversity, a living wage, and laws and policies expressed in a humanitarian manner, locally, nationally, and globally.

Libertarians believe that citizens should have complete control over their actions as long as their actions do not interfere with the actions of others. In other words, you have your rights as long as they don't interfere with other people’s rights. Libertarians also believe in decentralized government, where the power lies with the States themselves.

Third Party History
Third Parties have been around since the founding of the United States.

The U.S. Constitution makes no mention of political parties. This was a smart move; it would be anti-Constitutional to show any preference to any political party.

The first two political parties were the Federalists and the Democrat-Republicans. The Federalists believed in a strong central government and the Democrat-Republicans believed in strong states’ rights.

Issues, disagreements, and beliefs are the reasons for the major political parties and the third parties. Some past third parties include: Anti-Masonic Party, Free Soil Party, Union Party (merged with another third party - the Republicans), Whigs, the Know-Nothing Party (also known as the American Party), Dixiecrats (also known as the States' Rights Democrats), the Progressive Party, and the Bull Moose Party.

What did these third parties believe in? What were their causes and goals?

The first third party was the Anti-Masonic party (1831). They were also the first party to hold a national convention.

They didn't like the secrecy of the Masons. They believed this group to be un-American.

William Wirt (Anti-Masonic) ran against Andrew Jackson in the 1832 election. He didn't win but he carried Vermont. This election featured 3 candidates: Andrew Jackson (Democrat), Henry Clay (National Republican), and William Wirt (Anti-Masonic).

Abraham Lincoln (originally a member of the Whig Party) won the presidency as a Republican; a third party that was against slavery in the territories but upheld slavery in the South. Lincoln was also a member of the Union Party whose goal was "the Constitution as it is and the Union as it is". Members of the Whig Party and the Know-Nothing Party formed this party.

This election featured 4 candidates: Abraham Lincoln (Republican), Stephen Douglas (Democrat), John C. Breckinridge (Southern Democrat), and John Bell (Constitutional Unionist). Lincoln won and Douglas came in last behind the Southern Democrat and Constitutional Unionist candidates.

The Free Soil Party (1846–1854) as the name suggests, was anti-slavery. They opposed the expansion of slavery into the new states (the western territories), as they became part of the Union.

Martin Van Buren, the eighth U.S. president and a Democrat, served one term from 1837-1841. He ran as a Free Soil candidate in the 1848 presidential election and lost.

This election featured 3 candidates: Zachary Taylor (Whig), Martin Van Buren (Free Soil), and Lewis Cass (Democrat). Taylor won the election with Van Buren finishing second.

The Know-Nothing Party (also known as the American Party) was popular during the 1850s. They believed in setting limits to immigration and naturalized citizenship. They received their moniker by adhering to a simple rule - if people asked them about the party, they were told to say that they know nothing.

The party dissolved in 1856. The pro-slavery members joined the Democrats and the anti-slavery members joined the Republicans.

The Whig Party was formed in opposition to President Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson was very popular, had a strong personality, and was not afraid to use it.

His opponents interpreted his strong personality negatively and saw him as a king. They also believed in a strong national bank; Jackson didn't believe in a central bank. He favored state banks.

Andrew Jackson was a popular and strong candidate. His presidency was the beginning of the modern Democratic Party.

The Whig Party dissolved over the issue of slavery. The Northern Whigs (anti-slavery) joined the Republicans and the Know-Nothing Party and the Southern Whigs (pro-slavery) joined the Democrats.

The Republican Party incorporated a variety of different political parties. These parties included: the Free Soil Party, some of the Know-Nothing Party, and some of the Whigs (the Northern Whigs).

Theodore Roosevelt served nearly 2 full terms as a Republican president from 1901-1909. In 1912, he accepted the nomination of the Bull Moose Party. This party believed in progressive politics. The party consisted of a group of liberal Republicans who were against the conservative policies of the Republican president William Taft.

The 1912 election was a 4-person race. It included the Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, the Republican, William Taft, the Bull Moose, Theodore Roosevelt, and the Socialist, Eugene Debs.

Roosevelt lost, but received 25% of the vote. Woodrow Wilson won the election with Roosevelt finishing second.

Strom Thurmond ran as a Dixiecrat (also known as the States' Rights Democrats) in the 1948 presidential election. The Dixiecrats were an extremely conservative faction of the Democrat Party. They opposed the Democrats' civil rights program. They were alarmed at the changes being wrought by the Truman Administration, which included desegregation of the Armed Forces in 1950.

The 1948 election featured 4 candidates: Harry Truman (Democrat), Thomas Dewey (Republican), Strom Thurmond (Dixiecrat), and Henry Wallace (Progressive Party). Truman won the election but Strom Thurmond received over 1 million votes, carried 4 states, and won 39 electoral votes. Henry Wallace was once a friend of Truman's but had become radical, and in some quarters, was considered a Communist. Truman's great fear was with the Democrat Party effectively splitting into three factions, one moderate, one right of center, and one left of center, the Republicans would have a cake walk. In fact one newspaper called for Dewey before all the results were in, so convinced were they Truman had lost. This is an important reason why Third Parties can be instrumental in the incumbent President losing the election. Truman won and was able to continue his plan of following New Deal principles laid down by former President Roosevelt.

Third parties are essential ingredients for our political process. They draw attention to issues and causes that the major parties ignore. They invigorate and introduce people to the political process. They are a perfect example of free speech.

Many citizens join third parties because they believe both the Democrats and the Republicans don't represent them. If it weren't for third parties, they wouldn't be part of the political process.

Third parties also spotlight the question - Can a two party system represent the interests of all Americans? Most countries have a parliamentary form of government. Parliaments have many parties representing both diverse and minority points of view. While there will be no parliament in the United States, maybe there needs to be more parties to represent the diversity of the United States. James Madison had always maintained, however, that majority rule was against the principles laid down by the Founding Fathers. With majority rule, one party and then the other, may achieve an unassailable majority to enact controversial legislation. Madison believed people should stand for a time as representative of their community, and in turn elect senior law makers and governors who would quorum to enact legislation. Once these people had served, they returned to lives in the local community, thus making them reflect the interests of their constituents rather than some spurious political ideology compelled on them from above.

Talk:Introduction to Paleoanthropology/Definition

Because of this, the concept of an ecological niche does not apply to humans anymore.

I think this is debatable, and should probably be removed. We can operate outside our ecological niche -- on submarines in the ocean or scuba diving with breathing tanks, with special cold-weather equipment on the highest mountains or even on spacecraft beyond the atmosphere -- but we still have an ecological niche.

Also, I think it might be wise in this first chapter to either avoid using the hominoid/hominid/hominin terms completely or else take the time to define them right off. It can be confusing enough to remember which is which even when you know what they are, much less if you're new to the field and don't realize they're really separate terms and not just variant spellings of the same term.--Bedawyn 02:45, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Blackshare Formation

The Blackshare Formation is a geologic formation exposed in the Hagan Basin west of the Ortiz Mountains of New Mexico. It is estimated be to of Miocene age.

Description
The Blackshare Formation consists primarily of sandstone and conglomerate with minor mudstone. The conglomerate forms lenticular bodies, with clasts consisting mostly of Ortiz porphyry with small amounts of hornfels and chert. The sandstone layers tends to be more coarse at their base. The dip of the beds (which is to the northeast) decreases from 16 degrees to 1 degree from the base to the top of the formation. Paleocurrents confirm deposition by stream flow from the Ortiz Mountains to the east. The total thickness is over 1260 meters.

The formation is divided into four informal members, described as a sandstone facies, a conglomeratic sandstone facies, a conglomerate facies, and a muddy sandstone facies. The formation interfingers with the underlying Tanos Formation and is overlain with angular unconformity by the Tuerto Formation.

An ash bed about 200 meters below the top of the formation has a radiometric age of 11.65 ± 0.38 million years (Ma).

The formation is interpreted as deposition by streams flowing from the east into a closed basin. The progressive tilting of the beds, with the lower beds showing significant dip while the uppermost are nearly horizontal, may be connected to the uplift of the Sandia Mountains to the south while the sediments making up the formation were being deposited.

History
The beds making up this formation were first assigned to the Santa Fe Formation by Stearns in 1953. They were designated as the Blackshare Formation of the Santa Fe Group by Connell et al. in 2002.
