Ada Programming/Libraries/Standard

The Standard package is implicit. This means two things:

 * 1) You do not need to  or  the package, in fact you cannot (see below) . It's always available (except where hidden by a homograph, RM ).
 * 2) Standard may contain constructs which are not quite legal Ada (like the definitions of Character and Wide_Character).

A clause mentioning Standard references a user-defined package Standard that hides the predefined one. So do not do this. However any library unit hidden by a homograph can be made visible again by qualifying its name with Standard, like e.g. Standard.My_Unit.

Implementation
Since the package Standard is very important for portability, here are some examples for various compilers:

 * The package Standard from ISO 8652.
 * The package Standard from GNAT.
 * The package Standard from Rational Apex.
 * The package Standard from ObjectAda
 * The Standard definitions for AppletMagic

Portability
The only mandatory types in Standard are Boolean, Integer and its subtypes, Float, Character, Wide_Character, Wide_Wide_Character, String, Wide_String, Wide_Wide_String, Duration. There is an implementation permission in RM (51) that there may be more integer and floating point types and an implementation advice RM (52) about the names to be chosen. There even is no requirement that those additional types must have different sizes. So it is e.g. legal for an implementation to provide two types Long_Integer and Long_Long_Integer which both have the same range and size.

Note that the ranges and sizes of the numeric types can be different in every platform. There is an implementation requirement that the size of type Integer is at least 16 bits, and that of Long_Integer at least 32 bits (if present) RM (21..22). There is also an implementation permission RM (25) that further types whose names indicate smaller ranges like Short_Integer (if present) do not in fact have ranges greater than those indicating larger ranges. There is, however, an implementation advice RM (28) that there should be no other integer types in Standard than Integer and Long_Integer; instead, those hardware adapted types should be defined in package Interfaces RM. So if you want full portability of your types, do not use types from Standard (except where you must, see below), rather define you own types. A compiler will reject any type declaration whose range it cannot satisfy.

This means e.g. if you need a 64-bit type and find that with your current implementation Standard.Long_Long_Integer is such a type, when porting your program to another implementation, this type may be shorter, but the compiler will not tell you - and your program will most probably crash. However, when you define your own type like

My_Integer_64  -(2**63) .. +(2**63 - 1);

then, when porting to an implementation that cannot satisfy this range, the compiler will reject your program.

The type Integer is mandatory when you use [[wide] wide] strings or exponentiation x**i. This is why some projects even define their own strings, but this means throwing out the child with the bath tub. Using Integer with strings and exponentiation will normally not lead to portability issues.

from wikipedia
Neo- is a prefix, derived from Greek that connotes a "new" or recent form of something, or a revival in a modern form.

Neo- appears in its simplest sense of "new" in words such as the following:
 * Neapolis, the original Greek name of the "new city" of Naples.
 * neologism, meaning a newly-coined word.
 * neon, a newly-discovered (1898) noble gas.
 * neonate, a newborn child.
 * neophyte, a "newly planted" novice in an established field.
 * neoteny, retaining infantile characteristics.

In distinguishing between forms that are sections of a continuum, neo- is simply contrasted with palaeo-, thus:
 * the neolithic, the "New" Stone Age, is contrasted with the Palaeolithic.

In the history of ideas, "neo-" connotes a conscious revival of a lapsed original, invariably with new characteristics or new emphases, which distinguish the idea or movement from its original. It is understood as an intrinsic element of the reformulation, that an identity or continuity with the older form that is being revived is asserted as an essential part of the new one:

 * neo-evangelicalism
 * neoliberalism
 * Neo-Lutheranism
 * Neoclassicism
 * neoconservatism
 * Neo Hasidism
 * neo-Latin
 * neo-Nazi

In contemporary culture, neo- may simply lay claim to novelty:

 * Neopets
 * NeoMail
 * Neosapiens, derived from "neo" and "sapiens"

Fatima Aziz

Fatima Aziz (فاطمهٔ عزيز; 1973 – 12 March 2021) was an Afghan physician and politician. In 2005, she was elected to the lower house of parliament as representative of Kunduz province in Afghanistan's first free parliamentary election in decades. She was re-elected in the 2010 and 2018 elections. She served as an MP until her death from cancer in 2021.

Early life and education
Fatima Aziz was born in 1973 in the province of Kunduz, Afghanistan. In 1987, she completed her secondary school education at Naswan High School in Kunduz. She earned a bachelor of medicine from Kabul Medical University in 1993.

Career
For 13 years, Aziz worked in maternal–fetal medicine in Wazir Akbar Khan and Malalai hospitals in Kabul. She also worked for non-governmental organizations and the UNHCR. In the aftermath of the 2001 Afghan War, Aziz was elected as an independent member of parliament (MP) to the lower house of parliament, representing Kunduz province. She was part of the 2002 loya jirga. During the Wolesi Jirga 2005 election, Aziz received 4,725 votes. She was deputy chairwoman of the communications, transportation, city development, and municipalities committee. Aziz was re-elected in subsequent elections during the Afghan Peace Jirga 2010 and 2018. She was one of the first women elected to the National Assembly after the fall of the Taliban.

Known for her liberal stances and advocacy of gender equality, her comments in parliament attracted controversy. As representative of Kunduz, Aziz criticised the National Directorate of Security after a series of coordinated Taliban attacks in 2012. She provided information to the international media during the Battle of Kunduz in 2015. She fled the city with her family due to the battle. While the city was occupied by the Taliban, she campaigned for the city's liberation to the Afghan government and international community, while drawing attention to the humanitarian situation on the ground. Aziz said that voter turnout in Kunduz for the 2019 Afghan presidential election was low due to problems with security in the region. During the COVID-19 pandemic in Afghanistan, she believed corruption and government failures caused a shortage in oxygen tanks.

Personal life and death
Aziz's first language was Dari and she also spoke Pashto, English, and Urdu. She was married to an engineer and had two daughters and two sons. Her brother was a representative in Kunduz's Ministry of the Economy. In 2020, Aziz tested positive for COVID-19, and posted a video of her online in bed with an oxygen tube. She died of cancer on 12 March 2021, in a hospital in Switzerland.

The article makes no claim to anything that would be notable.

 * Comment: Arguably one of the greatest Irish Railway Engineers, responsible for a large proportion of the locomotives that kept the Irish Railways going. Has the nom. actually read (Chacksfield, 2003) or at least even bothered to look it up ?  This is going to be a nom. WP:TROUT.  Djm-leighpark (talk) 20:55, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment I would also like to know how the OP verified that the sources do not provide significant coverage. None of the books seem to be available on Google Books or Internet Archive so it seems improbable that they were able to access them all. I would assume that a book titled The Coey/Cowie Brothers would have significant coverage of him; don't know about the others but I'd be inclined to AGF on a historical subject like this. Wikipedia's definition of notability isn't based on our own subjective opinion of a subject's accomplishments but on whether or not they have received coverage in reliable sources. Spicy (talk) 22:18, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Reply Yes I did look into this. He gets three mentions in Chacksfield, not significant coverage. The other sources give him mentions, not significant coverage. The references reflect this clearly. I also looked into him on Railroad enthusiast sites and he gets some mentions there as well, but he doesn't have the coverage you'd expect of "one of the greatest Irish Railway Engineers". The lack of significant coverage in the sources about his work is reflected in the lack of information about his work in the article. I think if he were "one of the greatest Irish Railway Engineers", you should mention that in the article, along with why he is considered so along with the sources. You actually barely mention any details about his work on locomotives (barely meaning you wrote one sentence), which I think (along with my BEFORE) also reflects the lack of information in sources. You wrote 825 characters about his family and education, but only 184 characters about his work on locomotives. There is more than four times more information about his family and education in the article, than there is about the work your notability claim rests on. His work barely gets mentioned. Why? Because the sources lack significant coverage.   // Timothy ::  talk  22:23, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "You"? I didn't write the article. If you were able to access the sources online, would you mind linking to them here so that AfD participants can assess them? Thanks, Spicy (talk) 22:26, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I was replying to Djm-leighpark. I started the reply before you posted your own. No I'm not going to post links to pirated copyrighted materials. It should be obvious from the references.
 * Reply: Also note Robert Coey/Cowie is not mentioned in JSTOR, Taylor Francis, Open Edition, Sage or Project Muse. Although there is a "Robert Cowie" who is an expert on sea mollusks and another who is an expert on Late Medieval and Tudor archeology. This includes journals and magazines such as Railroad History, The Railway and Locomotive Historical Society Bulletin, Irish Historical Studies, The Irish Review and many more about Irish and Railroad history. Finally, the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography does not have a listing for him, but it does have one for "Cowie, Robert Isaac (1842–1874), physician and author". If he is notable, how could he have evaded notice? (fyi, you can access these sources from the Wikipedia Library). From this it appears he is probably not "one of the greatest Irish Railway Engineers", but just a good engineer, hard worker and ordinary person.  // Timothy ::  talk  22:58, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Reply specifically to . Since you strongly believe the sources provide evidence of notability and you've asked me to look at them, I'm assuming you have looked at them. Can you provide us any information from the sources that would back up the claim of notability that I may have missed? I've provided lots of evidence of my research, lets see some of yours.  // Timothy ::  talk  23:04, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying... yes, we shouldn't be posting links to pirated stuff. I didn't argue that the sources "provide evidence of notability", which is why I chose to comment instead of voting... just wanted to make sure that sources had been checked as they didn't seem easily accessible through the usual venues and some of the arguments in the nom seemed like they weren't necessarily based on the sources. May look into this more later. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 23:09, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , sorry for the harshness of my reply, it wasn't intended that way, but it came out that way. I didn't have access to an index (not sure if there is one), so a paper copy might reveal more.  // Timothy ::  talk  23:22, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Djm-leighpark (talk) 14:51, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Reply to : Since you decided to attack me above ("If Wikipedia is going to allow persons careering around with little purpose but to destroy peoples work" and on your talk page "Unbelievably incompetent nomination in my opinion.", I'll comment. You stated in your first comment to me, "Has the nom. actually read (Chacksfield, 2003) or at least even bothered to look it up?". You also criticized me on your talk page for not reviewing the sources before nominating. I replied yes I did check the sources in the follow up reply. However, from your comments above  you did not actually look up the information. So you created an article based on sources you did not look up. You followed that up by criticizing editors that actually do look up sources and WP:V. This is completely unacceptable. Creating an article without checking and using sources only fills the encyclopedia with WP:OR and junk articles and creates work for editors that actually do WP:V and do take WP:RS and WP:N seriously. You not only wasted my time here but also 's time. All of this gives more than ample reason to question the sources, content, and notability of every article you have created. Hopefully, reviewers looking at your Drafts will give them extra scrutiny. I'll give you a tiny bit of credit for the above comments about your sources, but it's too little too late. Yes, I'm irritated and Yes I have reason to be irritated. Now that I've vented my irritation I am dropping the matter.   // Timothy ::  talk  16:18, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Note to Closer: Only an admin should close this and also review the above. This should be noted in case Djm-leighpark ever applies for Autopatrol or NPP. Thanks,  // Timothy ::  talk  16:18, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * @ lets be very clear you are the one who wasted everyone's time with this AfD. Are you trying to out me?  Because if I have to defend further I may need to out. You'er still on the attack.?  On your user page open to WP:TROUTing? Djm-leighpark (talk) 16:36, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I do need to declare I accidently edited the article R. E. L. Maunsell (relatively minor sources but related) as my alternate during this AfD. Coey was effectively Maunsell's Manager and they remained friends until death.  If you need me to be banned from NPP and autopatrol that is probably a matter for AfD.  You will likely now WP:HOUND me for life.  Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 16:36, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * My final reply to re: "You will likely now WP:HOUND me for life." See my comment above: "Now that I've vented my irritation I am dropping the matter." I strongly suggest you drop this matter as well. See Law of holes.   // Timothy ::  talk  16:51, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I thought this was done after my comment above, but I just saw "Are you trying to out me?" (the indent from the image (note:image now removed) were off so I missed it) I have no idea where you get this idea, but I understand "I may need to out." as a veiled threat to reveal my personal information and this requires admin attention.  // Timothy ::  talk  17:07, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah ... not the last word. well stop mumbling and file a WP:ANI if thats where you want to go.  I will say this AfD is still running however and points possibly remain to be addressed.  Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 17:46, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Reply: Per your above request: Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. I told you I was willing to drop this, but you wouldn't let it go. Reveal my personal info if you wish, its not hard to find me from the info on my userpage, but your implications above are unacceptable.  // Timothy ::  talk  19:05, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Second Note To Closer: Please review the ANI report about this article, particularly this and this. when reviewing the WP:V of the creator's sources.  // Timothy ::  talk  09:49, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Passes WP:BASIC, depending on where we draw the line between "not substantial" and "trivial".  If we discount Chacksfield's book (and I'm not convinced that we should discount it), we have several independent references that give brief details of Coey's career, but little information beyond what's normally given in an obituary.  If this level of information is considered more than trivial, or if Chacksfield's book is admissible, we should keep the article. Tevildo (talk) 16:04, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Decently sourced and appears to be a notable figure in Irish railway history. No good reason for deletion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:59, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Iberia Flight 1456

Iberia Flight 1456 was a domestic scheduled flight from Barcelona-El Prat Airport to Bilbao Airport, Spain. On Wednesday, February 7, 2001, the Airbus A320 encountered a microburst-induced wind shear on final approach leading to the collapse of the aircraft's landing gear. All 143 passengers onboard survived; with 25 people suffering light injuries, and 1 person receiving serious injuries. The aircraft was irreparably damaged as a result of the ordeal and was decommissioned soon after, making it the ninth loss of an Airbus A320 at that time. This accident prompted Airbus to develop a fail-safe modification for its flight control software by preventing the airplane's built-in protection against stall from being activated by a high rate of change for the angle of attack.

Aircraft
The aircraft involved was an Airbus A320-200, MSN 1278, registered as EC-HKJ, was manufactured for Iberia in 2000. It also first flew in 2000. At the time of the accident, it had flown 1,149 hours and 869 cycles. The aircraft was equipped with two CFM International CFM56-5B4/P engines.

Crew members
There were three cockpit crew and four cabin crew.

Cockpit crew
The captain was a 42-year-old Spanish male who held an Airline Transport Pilot License. He was qualified to fly Airbus A320 aircraft under instrument flight rules (IFR). At the time of the accident, he had a total of 10,805 flight hours. The first officer was a 27-year-old Spanish male who held a Commercial Pilot License. He was qualified to fly Airbus A320 under IFR. At the time of the accident, he had a total of 2,670 flight hours. The trainee pilot, who flew under supervision, was a 24-year-old Spanish male and held a Commercial Pilot License. At the time of the accident, he had a total of 423 flight hours.

Cabin crew
There were four flight attendants on the aircraft.

Accident
On Wednesday, February 7, 2001, the Airbus A320 took off from Barcelona-El Prat Airport, Spain. The flight was uneventful until the final approach to Bilbao Airport. The Airbus encountered a microburst-induced wind shear on final approach to the airport. The crew decided to perform a go-around, but the aircraft failed to respond, causing the plane's landing gear to collapse. A subsequent emergency evacuation was carried out. All 143 occupants on the aircraft survived, but 25 people were injured during the evacuation. One crew member and 23 passengers suffered minor injuries, while a female passenger was seriously injured. Seven injured passengers were taken to hospitals. The three pilots were not injured. The aircraft was substantially damaged and written off, making it the ninth hull loss of an Airbus A320.

Other damage
The runway received minor damage upon the aircraft's hard landing. Two runway edge lights were broken.

Investigation
The Civil Aviation Accident and Incident Investigation Commission (CIAIAC) immediately launched an investigation into the accident, which took 5 years and 9 months. The investigation by the CIAIAC concluded:

"The activation of the angle of attack protection system, which, under a particular combination of vertical gusts and windshear and the simultaneous actions of both crew members on the sidesticks, not considered in the design, prevented the plane from pitching up and flaring during the landing."

Aftermath
This accident prompted Airbus to develop a modification for its flight control software by preventing the airplane's built-in protection against stall from being activated by a high rate of change for the angle of attack. Following this accident, the CIAIAC made four safety recommendations.

Guy Nordenson

Guy Nordenson (born 1955) is a structural engineer and professor of structural engineering and architecture at Princeton University School of Architecture. Guy has two children, Pierre and Sebastien Nordenson. He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering in 1977, followed by a Masters of Science in Structural Engineering and Structural Mechanics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1978. After graduating from UC Berkeley he worked at Forell/Elsesser Engineers in San Francisco (1978-1982) and Weidlinger Associates in New York City (1982–1987), before establishing the New York office of Ove Arup & Partners in 1987 where he was a director until leaving in 1997 to begin his own structural engineering practice, Guy Nordenson and Associates.

Nordenson is also a professor at the Princeton University School of Architecture and is a Faculty Associate at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, the University Center for Human Values, the Princeton Environmental Institute, and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

Climate Adaptation and Flood Research
In 2007 Nordenson and his collaborators were awarded the Latrobe Prize by the AIA College of Fellows for their proposal “On the Water” a plan that presents ideas for future waterfront development along the New York and New Jersey Upper Bay. Nordenson said of the prize “[The Latrobe Prize] is a chance to bring architects, engineers, and others together to think about the possibility of using the challenges associated with climate change as a way to rethink the character of the waterfront, in particular the New York Upper Bay, but also by extension other similar regions around the country.” In 2010 the research was published in book form as On the Water | Palisade Bay by Hatje Cantz and also served as the inspiration for the MoMA's Rising Currents: Projects for New York’s Waterfront that same year. Nordenson remains active in climate adaptation research, and after Hurricane Sandy was appointed to the NYS 2100 Commission by Governor Cuomo. Nordenson is also the Project Director of Structures of Coastal Resilience a Rockefeller Foundation-supported project dedicated to studying and proposing resilient designs for urban coastal environments in the North Atlantic region. With Princeton University he has participated in the 2018 Northeastern Legislative Climate and Energy Summit, where he discussed innovative approaches to making coastal communities more resilient to a changing climate and took part in the Princeton University's "Ideas Lab" panel and workshop on climate change at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Article Evaluation
=== Area: Tenderloin, San Francisco ===

Overview
The Tenderloin, spread over 40 blocks, is home to nearly 35,000 residents comprised of low-income families, children, artists, seniors, newly-arrived immigrants, ex-convicts, drug-dealers, mentally ill and the homeless.

This Wikepedia article does a great job of synthesizing the neighborhood's history. It begins with an introduction of its nightlife back in the 19th century. Theaters, restaurants, boxing gyms & gambling spaces are just some of the many forms of entertainment that the Tenderloin was notoriously known. But, its dynamic culture slowly changed after World War II, which opened up many vacant housing units.

By then, the low-cost vacant housing units attracted many Southeast Asian refugees. The increase of immigrant population added into the neighborhood's diversity, developing its melting pot culture. With its entertainment & immigration history, the Tenderloin attracted San Francisco's illegal drug trade, liquor stores, strip clubs, homelessness & crime.

Improvements
I want to expand on the "Crime" portion of this article. My internship has on-the-ground statistics on the current crime climate.

=== Sector: Microfinance focusing on KIVA ===

Overview
All existing Kiva programs (Kiva Zip, Kiva Labs, Kiva U & Kiva City Program) are well-explained in this article. It succinctly covers Kiva's history, impact through microfinance & the various communities they serve locally & globally. Some of their priorities include: empowering women to have access to capital, providing microloans to students seeking higher education and investing in green loans (solar panels, organic fertilizers, biofuels).

Improvements
I will edit the Kiva U section with a case example from Sacred Heart Cathedral. This was one of the first schools that Kiva partnered with to integrate their curriculum.

In the "Issues" portion of the article, I want to include opt-eds that questions & criticizes Kiva's model. From TwoSolitudes's article published in Daily Kos, they argue that Kiva's 0% interest rate along with the interest rates of their field partners do not actually help the Kiva borrowers. Many other articles also highlight this "middle-man" issue that I can include in my edits.

Central Market/Tenderloin Strategy by SF Planning Commission
Right now, the Wikipedia article is not updated with this strategy. The culture of the Tenderloin is shifting especially with the new businesses making its way in the neighborhood. Now, this is a community that is facing problems of gentrification, and working in community with "outsiders". Instead of editing the "Crime" portion of this article, I want to make my own section about the Central Market/Tenderloin Strategy. My goal is to provide a current update of where the Tenderloin is headed to in the next few years.

Below is my working draft:

Central Market/Tenderloin Strategy (May 2015)

The Central Market/Tenderloin Strategy began in late 2011. This was pioneered by the Mayor's Investment in Neighborhood initiative (CMES), and the Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD). Their goal is to "coordinate public and private efforts and investment to revitalize the long-neglected stretch of Market Street between Fifth & Van Ness."

This plan is broken into 5 sections: 1) introduction & background, 2) strategy framework, 3) strategy approach-action zones, game changers & neighborhood-wide objectives, 4) neighborhood public realm projects, and 5) strategy implementation.

In section 2: strategy framework, the plan lays out a clear goal for the Tenderloin: "a diverse, healthy, mixed-income neighborhood that offers safety and well-being to all who live, work and visit Central Market and the Tenderloin." The intersection of economic opportunities and clean & safe shared spaces is part of this strategic framework.

Section 3: strategy approach-action zones lays out a map broken into 8 action zones. These zones are categorized into economic opportunity, clean & shared spaces, and low-income community. There is also a respective city subcommittee that is supporting the "game changers" of each action zone.

For example, Action Zone B (Jones & Eddy) includes the reopening of Boeddeker Park. This Park was notorious for being the hotspot of drug-dealing. Therefore, the city thought that it's best to shut down the Park. By 2015, it re-opened with a more structured scheduled hours and park programming. Now, this is a Park that welcomes roughly 100 park-goers on the daily. A recent survey conducted by the Tenderloin Health Improvement Partnership says that 95% of their participants perceived this Park as safe.

Banker To The Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty by Muhammad Yunus
I still want to develop the "Issues" portion of the Kiva Wikipedia article. From this book, I plan to synthesize the challenges of microfinance in Bangladesh focusing on interest rate. My goal is to use this information to elaborate that microfinance is not a silver bullet solution to poverty. Like every "solution", there are pros and cons. However, I want to emphasize that despite the interest rate challenge, microfinance is still a tangible opportunity that is elevating poor people everywhere.

Below is my working draft:

Microfinance History

In 1983, the institution of the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh through Muhammad Yunus began the practice of microfinance. Fundamentally, microfinance is the act of providing tiny loans to the “unbankable” with a focus on social collateral. According to the World Bank, 2.5 billion people do not have formal accounts at financial institutions. Many mainstream banks do not provide poor people with credit because they are considered un-trustable, uneducated and incapable of paying their loans. Traditionally, poor people, especially women, do not have access to credit. However, Grameen Bank bridges the gap between people without collateral and the bank.

The practice of microfinance has rapidly influenced other countries to implement such change. By 1992, the Self-Help Group-Bank Linkage Programme (SHG-BLP) in India began to equip the poorest of the poor with credit. The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) partnered with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), local non-government organizations (NGOs), other banks, and central and state governments, to oversee the creation and maintenance of SHGs.

Prior to the SHG-BLP, one of the NGOs tied to the Millennium Development Goals, MYARDA, piloted the SHG project. MYARDA founded a microfinance institution (MFI) to directly lend loans to SHGs. Through the funds granted by NABARD, the pilot program had 500 SHGs linked with banks by the early 1990s.

The groups that formed were connected by their economic and occupational homogeneities. Since many of the members were uneducated and illiterate, they were unaware of the process of taking loans, savings and budgeting, and paying interest. Microfinance does not only provide credit for the poor, but it also provides financial literacy. MYARDA took the initiative to train the members to organize meetings, set agendas, and keep track of minutes to ensure the success of the groups.

Critical issues against microfinance

With growing traction & implementation for microfinance also come the criticism. Below are some examples: Ultimately, many claim that microfinance is not the solution to poverty. Instead it is a tool to alleviate poverty. Most countries implement microfinance by following Grameen Bank's model : Implementing Microfinance in the United States
 * 1) high interest rates contribute to the problem of poverty,
 * 2) complicated paperwork prevents a borrower from receiving a microloan,
 * 3) detracts from job creation which is a better solution to alleviating poverty and,
 * 4) leaves some borrowers economically challenged in repaying the loan back
 * 1) yearly loans get distributed to groups of poor people,
 * 2) each group is required to pay weekly installments, and
 * 3) loan interest rate is less than 20%.

Working Capital is one of the largest microenterprise programs in the United States. They began in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont in the early 1990s. Their goal is to eliminate the barriers of entry for low-income entrepreneurs to establish their businesses.

How they accomplish this goal is by developing small peer-lending groups of five. These groups create their own bylaws & elect their own officers. Then, they start with an initial loan of $500 and move up to $5,000. Working Capital provides them a network of financial experts, mediators & entrepreneurs to guide them in the loan acquisition & repayment process.

Even with the support of Working Capital, some groups fall behind due to poor group dynamics. For example, without a dedicated elected body directing their team to achieve loan deadlines, then people start falling off their commitments. For lending circles to effectively work, teams must be consistent with meeting their goals.

When implementing microfinance in the United States, it is important to think about the barriers of entry. Most businesses started by low-income entrepreneurs are in the service industry. This is a highly competitive industry ranging from food, retail, autoservices, etc. Aside from finances, these entrepreneurs need to be equipped with the grit to overcome competition.

Most microfinance enterprises in the U.S. include training programs. The challenge with these programs is the cost-benefit. For example, how can they accurately measure the benefit of these trainings to these entrepreneurs? Another challenge is that these programs are often not sustainable. Although the intent is good, it is difficult to keep them running.

Frank De Martini

Francis Albert De Martini (March 31, 1952 – September 11, 2001) was an American architect employed by the Port Authority of New York, the agency that managed the World Trade Center, who died in the September 11 attacks in 2001.

De Martini was hired in 1993 to assess the damage to the building from the World Trade Center bombing. He later became the construction manager and was in charge of changing of indoor layouts such as wall removal and plumbing rearrangement at request by the occupants.

On September 11, 2001, De Martini and his colleagues Pablo Ortiz, Peter Negron, and Carlos da Costa, were at their offices on the 88th floor of the North Tower when American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the building. De Martini and his coworkers had arrived early and were having coffee with De Martini's wife Nicole when the plane struck a few floors above them at 8:46 AM. When the building was hit, all elevators stopped. De Martini and his colleagues worked to help free the people trapped inside the elevators. The men helped clear the entrance to one of the building's three stairwells and directed their fellow occupants to descend to safety.

De Martini assured his wife he would follow her. However, the four men then began gathering tools to find and rescue people. They ascended to the 89th floor, and smashed through drywall next to a blocked door, allowing the occupants of that floor to escape. By that point, they had rescued 25–40 employees, including his wife Nicole De Martini. De Martini, Ortiz, Hanna, Negron, and da Costa went upstairs, where they freed two more groups of people. These included a man on the 89th floor that De Martini directed Mak Hanna to carry down to safety.

Still trying to rescue fellow occupants, De Martini, Ortiz, Negron, and da Costa all died when the North Tower collapsed at 10:28 AM; Hanna was the only one of their crew to survive. De Martini's remains were never found. It has been estimated that at least 70 people survived the attacks due to their rescue efforts.

Accounts of De Martini's actions during the attacks were given in the documentaries 9/11: Heroes of the 88th Floor, 9/11: The Twin Towers, 102 Minutes That Changed America, and Rise and Fall: The World Trade Center.

Extreme(ly foolish) Airbrushing
I want to use a cheap airbrush to spray clothes-washer grade bleach on some clothes dyed using natural colorants. What kind of bleach is a better choice, chlorine-based bleach or peroxide-based bleach?

Chlorine-based bleaches are sold as aqueous solutions. They are very likely easy to spray.

Peroxide-based bleaches are mostly sold as dried powders and must be dissolved in water before use.

I want to "paint" on the clothes using the bleach. I will do it outdoors in the open and wear rubber gloves, eye protective and a breath mask. I just want to know which kind of bleach is relatively friendlier to the airbrush which is made of stainless steel and rubber O-rings. -- Toytoy (talk) 01:34, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * An Airbrush is a tool that needs a supply of compressed air. Will you consider instead a cheap plastic spray bottle? I find that a disposable spray handle screws directly onto a large plastic bottle of chlorine bleach. Blooteuth (talk) 11:05, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * In the 70s, it seemed common to me to use plastic spray bottles with chlorine bleach to fade out our jeans. Then, many people painted on the faded parts. Bleach is "wet", so it doesn't stick to one spot. It bleeds into the fabric. Further, it isn't about how much bleach you use. It is about how long you leave the bleach on the clothes. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 11:22, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Either bleach will do this, although the perborate (oxygen) bleaches tend to be better at cleaning without damaging dyes, so you might want to use hypochlorites.
 * For an airbrush (I use a lot of airbrushes, and I spray awkward things through them) you can't beat the old Badger 250 design, which is widely copied and comes from China via eBay for about £10. This is the crudest airbrush around, as an external mix brush with no metering needle. It does though have the ability to spray almost anything and is much less fussy about fluid viscosity. Easy to strip and clean too.
 * For your sanity, get a quiet airbrush compressor too, not a garage one. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:27, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I appreciate you're taking precautions but it may not be worth it: . <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:13, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Quats aren't bleach. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:25, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * That article is way over my head but this medical report is headed "Regular Use of Bleach Linked to COPD". <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:49, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't pay much heed to either of those as sources (try running WebMD past WP:MEDRS!) - if someone can post the citation or link for the original paper, that would be appreciated. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:14, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * [[User:Andy Dingley, Point taken, the WebMD article does eventually say "The results should be treated with caution as they have yet to be published in a peer-reviewed journal." Both news articles above are very recent. It seems as though the study is not utter rubbish, but I also don't trust either of those sources to not sensationalize or otherwise muck things up. They do both seem to be reporting on the same thing, though neither can be arsed to even give a name of researcher. It seems to be analyzing data pulled from one of these long-term longitudinal studies of nurses, based on surveys etc. Telegraph mentions Harvard, but Harvard has not yet issued any press release as far as I can see. SemanticMantis (talk) 17:20, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I think this paper isn't published until Monday, and it's not easily visible. Presumably there's a press release copy already circulating, but I don't read medicine so haven't seen it. The newspaper reports all seem to be conflating disinfectants and bleaches, in a way that has nothing as yet to support it. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:27, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * This comes down to risk/benefit ratio. Splashing about in a chlorinated swimming pool brings one into contact with a very dilute solution of chlorinated phenols, due to the action of sodium hypocrite reacting with organic matter (they often  occur in chlorinated tap water as well).  Phenols are know to be cancer promoters... but the 'risk' of splashing around in non chlorinated water or drinking it is higher -  much higher. My favorite way to avoid chlorinated phenols, is to drink pure spring water only... but even then ! I always take the greatest care ( ask the family) to  sanitized it with a equal amounts of a good Scottish Single Malt. So chlorination is not the only solution and  in many ways,  the old traditional ways are best (IMHO) . Aspro (talk) 15:54, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * How about grain alcohol and pure spring water to replenish your vital bodily fluids ? :-) StuRat (talk) 17:20, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * I think he's more concerned about keeping his Essences Pure. In which case, he'd be well served to learn what "spring water" is, and how it's different from mineral water. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:28, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * As always, AD is pedantically on the button by pointing out that Spring & Mineral are not always considered interchangeable. However,  “Spring water can be considered mineral water if it naturally contains the required amount of trace minerals.”  Mineral Water Vs. Spring Water. Which is a  comparison that I would agree with,  providing both contain the minerals. Unfortunately, many a good water now comes in plastic bottles which can leach phthalates over time. These chemicals can cause frogs etc., to exhibit both male and female characteristics, which why phthalates have been nicknamed gender-benders. Fortunately, Haggis survive by just licking the morning  dew. Which is presumably why, I haven’t seen any that have ram like attributes  and the growing of horns– but I constantly live in fear of what people  on vacation may feed them. The left-overs from a McDonald’s family meal is not a haggis's normal diet. Lastly, who granted  McDonald's the right to use the clan name of  McDonald and trademark it ? Clan Chief  McDonald didn't – he said so! Anyway AD, you're leading us off at a tangent to the OP's question.

 * I'm in the UK (maybe Europe). Here we have a legal and labelling difference between spring and mineral water. "Spring" water ain't all that. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:32, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Your neighbors might complain about bleach fumes. I suggest you consider hydrogen peroxide.  It's inexpensive enough and far less toxic.  It also flows quite well.  It may have less bleaching power, depending on the strength.  At high concentrations, it's flammable and even explosive, but you won't find that concentration available in stores, where 3% is typical, and that 97% water will keep it non-flammable.  If that doesn't bleach enough, you can find somewhat higher concentrations sold online.  StuRat (talk) 13:34, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * The OP hasn’t mentioned the nature of the stains. Bleaches of any variety are not always efficacious, especially with natural dyed fabrics. Other cheap alternatives are often better,  Also, cheaper  than an air brush but just as effective in this application is one of the many Spray Atomizer Bottles at around £1 to £2. Example : .

Tileable "scatter" patterns for texture generation in a CGI context.
Hi,

This is on the Science Desk but is here rather than the Mathematics desk because it relates to image generation. In the context of a simulation and CGI generation suite, it is possible to generate textures to represent fine details that cannot for various reasons be implemented as geometry.

Does anyone have a reference to a paper or article (most likely a SIGGRAPH report) that gives a method for generating seamless texture artwork approximating a field of vegetation or crop when viewed from above or moderate distance, utilizing random scatter patterns based on an observed colour distribution over a number of sampled images from the real world? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 12:32, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Think you may have better luck asking this on a Wikimedia Commons help desk, whose editors  are more into images. There are applications like MegaScatter but I don't know if this is what you mean. Aspro (talk) 15:06, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Well I found sort of the converse: using hierachical Bayesian methods to analyze textures in photographs of weeds and crops . Might give you some insight on how to generate such a thing. SemanticMantis (talk) 16:40, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Oh, here you go, this is much close I think:  Use google scholar to track down other work by Deussen, the common author on those papers, also you can use Scholar to skim through later works that cite these. Thanks for the interesting question, I knew a bit about this stuff but I'm pretty blown away by some of the figures in those papers SemanticMantis (talk) 16:46, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Space probe selfies
In a similar refdesk question some time ago someone answered that artistic renditions of space probes are because it's impossible to take a photo of them on a mission in deep space (e.g. for Cassini-Huygens, etc.). So what's the problem with installing an additional camera on them for selfies or shooting with an already existing onboard camera, like it was done for selfies from Curiosity Mars rover? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:39, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Certainly possible, but anything you put on a space probe costs millions of dollars, and/or replaces some valuable instrument(s). It's hard to justify spending taxpayer money to do that, just for selfies.  I suppose there could be an argument made for it, that it would allow them to spot potential problems like a micrometeorite hit, but the chance that a problem could actually be spotted and then fixed in this way is next to zero. StuRat (talk) 17:12, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Basically because putting a camera on an arm wouldn't have any practical use for a deep space probe.
 * The mast camera on Curiosity is on the end of a flexible arm because they want to be able to get closeups of rocks and stuff. The fact that they could use the camera to create cool looking selfies didn't even occur to them until it was already on its way to Mars.
 * Here's a great article on the Curiosity Selfies : The story behind Curiosity's self-portraits on Mars (I like the selfie taken by the duplicate robot sitting in a robotics lab at JPL.)
 * On a deep space probe there wouldn't really be a point to putting a camera on the end of a long, flexible arm. It never gets close enough to anything that an arm would be useful. If they want to take a picture of something, they turn the whole probe to face that thing. A long arm would just something that could break, and unneeded weight.
 * Maybe they'll do it some day, if only if they need the hardware for some other thing. I can't find the reference right now, but I believe there are some proposed space telescopes that consist of more than one craft flying in formation. If they build them, maybe those things will photograph each-other. ApLundell (talk) 17:25, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * The additional mass is by far the most important disadvantage of adding "selfie" hardware. The incremental cost, power, and complexity (i.e, unreliablity) are also important, but extra mass is a show-stopper. This is especially true for deep-space probes. That mass would be traded against electrical power, or thruster fuel, or antenna size, or initial launcher capacity, or some other critical mission constraint. -Arch dude (talk) 04:12, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

 * In addition to the obvious - that it would serve no real purpose - keep in mind that Cassini launched in 1997, and according to EO, the term "selfie" didn't become a "thing" until at least 2002. In practicality, selfies have been around a lot longer, they just hadn't coined the term yet. But in 1997, it was not really on the radar. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 05:29, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The "Problem" may be that these are no tourist trips but scientific missions. Nevertheless in general- whats the value in a "selfie"? Visual prove of an potential epic meeting? Are close range detailed images of Saturn, without any obstacles, not most epic already? --Kharon (talk) 06:48, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

 * In the days of film cameras, I used to hear the term "proof of visitation", such as standing in front of the Eiffel Tower just to prove that you were there. The advent of digital technology has probably rendered that concept obsolete, since anyone can easily artificially put themselves into any picture. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 12:52, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

 * It's not entirely impossible. Cassini carried the Huygens probe with it - in theory, one could have photographed the other as they separated. As it happens, the cameras weren't facing the right way, but Rosetta was able to take a selfie by activating Philae's camera while the two were still connected, and it repaid the favour when Philae separated. Note that the photos aren't great quality - lighting in space is very stark, and spacecraft cameras are usually calibrated to photograph very large, distant objects, not small, close ones (even getting the dark image of a solar panel took a lot of photo editing and edge detection work, to pick out the details in the gloom).

Effects of painful stimulus on food intake in rats/mice
I'm interested in any experiments done on rats/mice relating to whether applying a painful stimulus to receive food reduced food intake in the test subject. For example, even with an abundance of available food will the subject eat less if it receives a painful stimulus upon approaching / eating the food? Does the subject eventually get used to the pain and resume normal eating patterns? Are there any such scientific studies that you could link me to?

The bottom line is that, yes, the punishment will probably reduce eating, but a lot of factors come into play, most importantly the strength of the punishment.

Cold-water immersion and heart rate

Data Structures/Singly Linked Lists

Singly Linked Lists are a type of data structure. A linked list provides an alternative to an array-based structure.

A linked list, in its simplest form, in a collection of nodes that collectively form linear sequence.

In a singly linked list, each node stores a reference to an object that is an element of the sequence, as well as a reference to the next node of the list. It does not store any pointer or reference to the previous node.

To store a single linked list, only the reference or pointer to the first node in that list must be stored. The last node in a single linked list points to nothing.

New Dream

New Dream, formerly recognized as The Center for a New American Dream, is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering individuals, communities, and organizations to adopt consumption practices that enhance well-being for both people and the planet.

Overview
The organization collaborates with individuals and communities to address the commercialization of culture, promote community involvement, and preserve natural resources. New Dream advocates against the adverse impacts of commercialism and excessive consumption, aiming to shift societal norms surrounding consumption and consumer behavior. They support individuals and communities striving for lifestyle changes and collective actions. New Dream's overarching objective is to foster behavioral change, shift attitudes, and reshape social norms to decrease consumption, strengthen community ties, and enhance overall well-being.

The organization emphasizes sustainability and the promotion of non-material values. One of New Dream's objectives is to encourage a cultural shift away from a focus on accumulation towards prioritizing what holds significance. While individuals determine their own priorities, New Dream suggests emphasizing aspects such as time, nature, family, community, fairness, and enjoyment over material possessions. The organization's informal slogan is "More Fun, Less Stuff."

In essence, New Dream aims to foster a vision of life that transcends overconsumption, disposable habits, and constant marketing. It offers resources to assist families, individuals, educators, and advocates in curbing consumerism both personally and within society at large.

Programs
New Dream operates within three main program areas:

SoKind Registry: This initiative offers an "alternative gift registry" platform, enabling users to create registries or wishlists emphasizing enjoyable experiences, quality time with loved ones, and contributions towards meaningful causes.

Kids & Commercialism: This program provides practical advice for fostering non-commercial environments and activities for children, empowering individuals to enact lasting positive changes in the lives of the children they care for.

Simplify the Holidays: New Dream promotes a focus on "more of what matters" during the holiday season by offering creative gift suggestions and simplification strategies. The aim is to help individuals prioritize meaningful connections and joy over stress, excess, and expenditure.

History
Founded in 1997, the Center for a New American Dream initiated a significant national dialogue on materialism, achieving balance in life, and the often overlooked consequences of a society characterized by high consumption. Its distinctive emphasis on the connections between consumption patterns, environmental impact, and overall well-being set it apart from other environmental and social justice organizations. The center ceased operations in September 2020.

In 2017, the Center for a New American Dream underwent a strategic reorganization and rebranding effort aimed at enhancing program efficiency and aligning with the evolving needs of its expanding audience. The organization adopted the name New Dream and currently operates as a Joint Plan of Work Partner of Virginia Organizing, a tax-exempt organization that accepts donations on behalf of New Dream.

On September 30, 2020, New Dream announced its closure as an independent nonprofit organization. However, it continues to collaborate with various community partners despite discontinuing its standalone operations. New Dream had been active for nearly 25 years prior to its closure.

The organization proposed that American-style consumerism and the pursuit of the "American Dream" have contributed significantly to the normalization of high-consumption lifestyles. The name update reflects the organization's broader mission to assist individuals and communities globally in reducing consumerism and materialism.

Powersville, Kentucky

Powersville is an unincorporated community located in Bracken County, Kentucky, United States.

History
A post office called Powersville was established in 1831, and remained in operation until 1904. John F. Power, the postmaster, gave the community its name.

An inn and tavern once stood in the community at the junction of KY 19 and 10, serving during the mid to late 1800s as an overnight stagecoach stopover on the road connecting Augusta and Cynthiana. The structure was built as a hunting lodge by Phillip Buckner: a Revolutionary War veteran, settler of Powersville, and founder of the city of Augusta, Kentucky. Buckner acquired the land through grants for his military service during the war. He lived at the lodge until his death in 1830 and was buried in the community. In the first half of the 20th century, the log structure was used as a toll house and later a parsonage for the Powersville Christian Church. The structure remained in its original location until 2012, when it was moved to Pendleton County for use as a private residence.
