Dialectical Behavioral Therapy/Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills/Self-Respect Effectiveness

'''Self-Respect Effectiveness: Keeping and Building Respect for Yourself'''

The interpersonal effectiveness skill "Self-Respect Effectiveness" emphasizes asking for what you want or need while respecting your values and beliefs. The objective is to build your self-respect by not "selling out" to get what you want and need.

When you practice self-respect effectiveness, you feel better about yourself and increase your self-esteem. Self-respect and self-esteem are related—what you respect is what you consider worthy of esteem and what you esteem is what you respect. To build self-respect, you must have the conviction of your own value. Value yourself as you would value other things you treat with care.

Self-respect will get your opinions taken seriously by other people who matter to you. You have to honor who you are, how you think and feel, and what is going on in your life to get your opinions taken seriously.

Self-care and self-respect effectiveness go hand-in-hand. Self-care supports your well-being, your most valuable asset. Without self-respect, self-care won't happen. Self-respect entails the expectation of friendship, love, and happiness as natural, as a result of who you are and what you do. Self-respect includes the belief that you are good, worthwhile, and deserving the respect of others.

One way to remember self-respect effectiveness is FAST
 * be Fair
 * no Apologies
 * Stick to values
 * be Truthful

Be Fair

You are fair when you treat others nonjudgmentally. In other words, to be fair don't judge others. Judgment creates bias, prejudice, and preconceived notions; it gets in the way of the facts. The skill, "Nonjudgmentally" focuses on the facts (who, what, when, where) rather than your opinion of the facts (why). That is being fair. Fairness is evenhanded and impartial as it deals with the facts of reality. You are more likely to be respected if you are true to the facts of reality rather than give in to your bias.

You are fair when you focus on effectively dealing with reality without favoritism, deception, or bias. Trust is built upon fairness with others, mutual satisfaction, equality, and understanding. Someone who is trustworthy will treat you fairly. Solving a problem with a fair person is easy because you trust that they are not going to take advantage of you. We should be able to expect people to treat us fairly, honestly, and be governed by the Golden rule.

Being fair is a non-polarized way of being, it tends toward the middle. Fairness creates a synthesis between extreme or polarized points of view. All-or-nothing thinking tends to be unbalanced, and go to one side or the other like black-and-white, right and wrong, good and bad, idealized and devalued. Fairness finds a balance between the extreme points of view.

No Apologies

Over-apologetic behavior erodes your self-respect. Do not say I'm sorry if you have nothing for which to apologize. Do not apologize for being alive, needing food to eat, water to drink, are going to the bathroom. Do not apologize for making a request for what you want or need. Do not apologize for having an opinion. Do not apologize for having an honest disagreement. Apologies imply you're wrong or made a mistake. Unwarranted and inappropriate apologies reduce your sense of self-confidence over time. But, recognize when apologies are warranted and appropriate.

The antidote to apologies is responsibility. Take responsibility for being alive. It is your responsibility to get food to eat and water to drink. You need to go to the bathroom, do it without apology. Take responsibility for making a request for what you want or need. If you have an opinion, speak up and let others know your opinion. If you have an honest disagreement, let the other party know what's on your mind. Being respectful is a two-way street, you respect yourself by taking responsibility for your wants and needs and you respect the other persons wants and needs and responsibility for taking care of themselves.

Stick to Values

Your values are the principles by which you live and the beliefs that guide your behavior. Values and value-judgments are based upon your moral beliefs or what you believe is "right" and "wrong". Your values determine your correct course of action. Your values are ideals that guide your thinking and behavior.

You act with integrity when your actions conform to your values. Integrity is a holistic feeling you get when your actions are congruent with your values. Acting with integrity may not feel right, but your wise mind knows this is the proper course of action. You might be tempted to compromise your integrity to get what you want: being a "doormat" to keep a person liking you, shoplifting to get what you want, or lying to stay out of trouble. Acting in a way that you value will pay off with increased self-esteem and self-confidence.

People who have a healthy self-respect feel proud of and satisfied with their moral choices. To turn right or left at a street corner is not a moral choice. Keeping promises and following through on commitments are moral choices. If you tell someone you are going to do something—do it! Following through on your word builds trust. When you do it, feel good about your follow-through and know it will have a positive effect on your relationships.

To build self-respect by sticking to your values requires mastering all the skills, because sticking to your values is the hardest thing you are ever going to do. Sticking to your values requires assertiveness, self-control, effective stress management, and strong enough inner reserves to overcome adversity. You can do it because, basically, it means being yourself. Being yourself is living the life you value.

If you value standing up for yourself, you must practice this skill with others. Start by asking for what you want or need.

Be Truthful

Truthfulness has a strong reality orientation. A truthful person aligns himself or herself with reality. To a truthful person, facts are more important than opinions, and the truth is more important than being right.

Of course, lying, exaggeration, and dishonesty distort reality then opinions become more important than reality and being right trumps acknowledging the truth.

Many people have a problem saying no to unwanted requests. Think about how truthfulness can be useful to decline something that is not manageable for you at this time. Be gentle, yet firm as you explain the reality of your situation.

Putting It All Together

Self-respect is respecting yourself. If you respect yourself you tend to act in ways that confirm and reinforce self-respect. It is appropriate to require others to deal with you fairly, without apology, with integrity, and truthfully.

If you do not respect yourself, you will act in ways that lower your sense of your own value even further. Without self-respect, you will let people treat you unfairly, irresponsibly, and dishonestly.

If you want to raise the level of your self-respect, you need to act in ways that will make it rise. Increased self-respect begins with a commitment to the value of your own person which is then expressed through congruent behavior. Treating others with fairness, without apologies, responsibly, with integrity, and truthfully.

When it comes to self-respect effectiveness, think of the Golden rule with this twist: expect others to treat you as you would treat them. Treat others fairly and expect fairness in return. Do not apologize for things that you would not expect others to apologize. Expect others to treat you with respect, kindness, and patience consistent with your own values. Finally, expect people to be truthful with you, as you are honest with them.

Guidelines for Objectives Effectiveness: Getting What You Want

A way to remember these skills is the term “DEARMAN”

DESCRIBE

EXPRESS

ASSERT

REINFORCE

(stay)	MINDFUL

APPEAR CONFIDENT

NEGOTIATE

Describe	Describe the current SITUATION (if necessary). Stick to the facts.

Tell the person exactly to what you are reacting.

Express	Express your FEELINGS and OPINIONS about the situation.

Assume that your feelings and opinions are not self-evident.

Give a brief rationale. Use phrases such as “I feel”, “I believe”, instead of “I need,” “you should,” or “I can’t.”

Assert		Ask for exactly what you want. Say no clearly.

Assume that others will not do what you want unless you specifically ask.

Make your request clear and understandable. Others expect you to ask directly for what you want.

Reinforce 	Tell the person the benefits of getting what you want or need.

Help the person feel good ahead of time for doing or accepting what you want.

Explain the advantage of your request. Explain the consequences of attaining your objective. Tell him or her (if necessary) the negative effects of not getting it.

Reward him or her afterwards with a smile and thanks.

(stay) Mindful	Keep you focus ON YOUR OBJECTIVES and what works. Practice non-judgmentally. Avoid being judgmental.

Maintain your position. Focus on your objective and return to it if distracted.

“Broken Record”	Calmly and firmly repeat a short, clear statement (asking, saying no, or expressing your opinion) over and over until the other person gets the message.

Ignore	If another person attacks, threatens, or tries to change the subject ignore the threats, comments, or attempts to divert you. Don’t respond to attacks. Ignore distractions. Just keep making your point. Appear Confident		Appear EFFECTIVE and competent. Use a confident tone of voice and physical manner; make and hold eye contact. No stammering, whispering, staring at the floor, retreating, saying “I’m not sure,” etc.

Negotiate		Be willing to GIVE to GET.

Offer and request alternative solutions to the problem. Reduce your request. Maintain no, but offer to do something else or to solve the problem another way.

Focus on what will work. Stay away from “fair”, “unfair”, “right”, and “wrong”.

Turn the tables	Turn the problem over to the other person.

Ask for alternative solutions: “What do you think we should do?” “I’m not able to say yes, and you seem to really want me to. What can we do here?” “How can we solve this problem?”

Asking for What I Want or Refusing a Request: “DEAR MAN”

Describe the troublesome situation. Tell the person exactly what you are reacting to. Stick to the facts. No judgmental statements. Be objective.

Express your feelings and opinions about the situation. Use “I” statements which show you take responsibility for your opinions and feelings.

Assert yourself by asking for what you want or saying no clearly. Assume that others cannot read your mind or know what you want unless you tell them. Don’t expect others to know how hard it is for you to ask directly for what you want.

Reinforce the advantage of your request. Tell the person the positive effects of getting what you want or need. Help the person feel good ahead of time for doing what you want. Reward him or her afterwards with a smile and thanks.

Mindfully keep your focus on your objectives. Maintain your position.

Appear Confident Use a confident tone of voice; make eye contact. Relax your body. Stammering, whispering, staring at the floor, or saying “I’m not sure” undercut your message. Focus on the objective, not the fear.

Negotiate by being willing to give to get. Offer and ask for alternative solutions to the problem. What am I willing to “settle for” or “give up” in order to achieve what I want in the situation?

Horticulture/Juniperus

Junipers are coniferous evergreen trees and shrubs, belonging in the cypress family (Cupressaceae). Depending on taxonomic viewpoint, there are between 50-67 species of juniper, widely distributed throughout the northern hemisphere, from the Arctic, south to tropical Africa in the Old World, and to the mountains of Central America in the New World.

There are many species to choose from in the landscape, most of which are tough, and very drought tolerant. Some species are widely used as ground covers, others for hedging, but primarily they are used as evergreen "anchoring" plants in mixed borders and foundation plantings.

Description
Junipers vary in size and shape from tall trees, 20–40 m tall, to columnar or low spreading shrubs with long trailing branches. They are evergreen with either needle-like and/or scale-like leaves. They can be either monoecious or dioecious. The female seed cones are very distinctive, with fleshy, fruit-like coalescing scales which fuse together to form a "berry"-like structure, 4–27 mm long, with 1-12 unwinged, hard-shelled seeds. In some species these "berries" are red-brown or orange but in most they are blue; they are often aromatic (for their use as a spice, see juniper berry). The seed maturation time varies between species from 6–18 months after pollination. The male cones yellow and catkin-like, with 6-20 scales; most shed their pollen in early spring, but some species pollinate in the autumn.

Many junipers (e.g. J. chinensis, J. virginiana) have two types of leaves: seedlings and some twigs of older trees have needle-like leaves 5–25 mm long; and the leaves on mature plants are (mostly) tiny (2–4 mm long), overlapping and scale-like. When juvenile foliage occurs on mature plants, it is most often found on shaded shoots, with adult foliage in full sunlight. Leaves on fast-growing 'whip' shoots are often intermediate between juvenile and adult.

In some species (e.g. J. communis, J. squamata), all the foliage is of the juvenile needle-like type, with no scale leaves. In some of these (e.g. J. communis), the needles are jointed at the base, in others (e.g. J. squamata), the needles merge smoothly with the stem, not jointed.

The needle-leaves of junipers are hard and sharp, making the juvenile foliage very prickly to handle. This can be a valuable identification feature in seedlings, as the otherwise very similar juvenile foliage of cypresses (../Cupressus/, ../Chamaecyparis/) and other related genera is soft and not prickly.

Growing conditions
Most species prefer a well-drained soil (though at least one (J. virginiana) will grow in wet soils as well), and full sun to very light shade.

Species
The number of juniper species is disputed, with two recent studies giving very different totals, Farjon (2001) accepting 52 species, and Adams (2004) accepting 67 species. The junipers are divided into several sections, though (particularly among the scale-leaved species) which species belong to which sections is still far from clear, with research still on-going. The section Juniperus an obvious monophyletic group though.

 * Juniperus sect. Juniperus: Needle-leaf junipers. The adult leaves are needle-like, in whorls of three, and jointed at the base (see below right).
 * Juniperus sect. Juniperus subsect. Juniperus: Cones with 3 separate seeds; needles with one stomatal band.
 * ../Juniperus communis/ - Common Juniper
 * Juniperus communis subsp. alpina - Alpine Juniper
 * ../Juniperus conferta/ - Shore Juniper (syn. J. rigida var. conferta)
 * ../Juniperus rigida/ - Temple Juniper or Needle Juniper
 * Juniperus sect. Juniperus subsect. Oxycedrus: Cones with 3 separate seeds; needles with two stomatal bands.
 * ../Juniperus brevifolia/ - Azores Juniper

 * ../Juniperus deltoides/ - Eastern Prickly Juniper
 * ../Juniperus formosana/ - Chinese Prickly Juniper
 * ../Juniperus lutchuensis/ - Ryukyu Juniper
 * ../Juniperus navicularis/ - Portuguese Prickly Juniper
 * ../Juniperus oxycedrus/ - Western Prickly Juniper or Cade Juniper
 * ../Juniperus macrocarpa/ (J. oxycedrus subsp. macrocarpa) - Large-berry Juniper
 * Juniperus sect. Juniperus subsect. Caryocedrus: Cones with 3 seeds fused together; needles with two stomatal bands.
 * ../Juniperus drupacea/ - Syrian Juniper

 * Juniperus sect. Sabina: Scale-leaf junipers. The adult leaves are mostly scale-like, similar to those of ../Cupressus/ species, in opposite pairs or whorls of three, and the juvenile needle-like leaves are not jointed at the base (including in the few that have only needle-like leaves; see below right). Provisionally, all the other junipers are included here, though they form a paraphyletic group.

Uses
Many of the earliest prehistoric people lived in or near juniper forests which furnished them food, fuel, and wood for shelter or utensils. Many species, such as J. chinensis (Chinese Juniper) from eastern Asia, are extensively used in landscaping and horticulture, and as one of the most popular species for bonsai. It is also a symbol of longevity.

Juniper berries are used in the distillation of gin and Jenever and the brewing of sahti. Juniper was also occasionally used in gruit, a mix of herbs used for flavouring beer prior to the use of hops.

The berries and needles are slightly poisonous and can cause irritation after ingestion or contact with the skin.

Maintenance
Persistent deadwood, rusts, and phomopsis blights can be troublesome for some species. Pruning is best done in winter or otherwise cool weather, as the sharp leaves and resin can cause an itchy rash if they brush exposed skin.

Propagation
Usually propagated by cuttings or grafting.

Harvest
Berries are harvested fresh.

 * /5...Ra7/ protects the bishop, allowing the pawn to take the knight, but hangs the pawn. Therefore, 5...Ra7 is out.

Talk:Mathematical Proof/Methods of Proof/Proof by Contradiction

More Classical examples?
The proof that there are infinite many prime numbers p1,p2,...,pn can be done really elegant by assuming that there are only a finite nunmer of primes, and thet construct a new number (p1*p2*...*pn +1)

that is not divisible by any of the original primes, and therefore, must be either a new prime, or a product of new primes.

Who is the audience for this? If somebody doesn't know what a proof by contradiction is, then they are certainly not going to understand what a topological space is.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Magic Window. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Magic Window~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:24, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

Start of the League
The Boston Boys Fantasy Baseball League started during the year of 2004, during which several baseball fans and fantasy baseball addicts gathered around a lunch table to discuss creating a fantasy baseball league. The fanatics agreed on a 10 team, mixed league, with an annual league entry fee of five dollars (which has recently been raised to seven). Draft order was decided using slips of paper randomly selected from an unmarked lunch bag.

First Round Draft Selections through the years:

2004: 1B Albert Pujols, St. Louis Cardinals

2005: RP Joe Nathan', Minnesota Twins

2006: OF Hideki Matsui, New York Yankees

2007: SP Daisuke Matsuzaka, Boston Red Sox

2008: OF Nick Markakis, Baltimore Orioles

2009: 1B Chris Davis, Texas Rangers

2010: RP Joe Nathan, Minnesota Twins (note he went down with season-ending surgery before the season even started

The Boston Boys Fantasy Baseball League is a keeper league, meaning that each team gets to choose eight of its players to keep from year to year. The annual Selection of the Keepers is essentially a draft party, held each February, roughly three weeks from Major League Baseball's opening day.

Social Bedlam of the Boston Boys League
Throughout the lifespan of the League, several disputes between managers have lead to a number of prominent changes. Most notably was the elimination of a League member, Joe B. Reasons include, but are not limited to: No interest in team or the league in general, "dumping" players off to other teams, and also becoming angry when approached about the subject of Fantasy Baseball. Bill's life was in shambles when he was invited to join the League during the second season, and eventually wound up the replacement for Joe B. He is now a mainstay in the Boston Boys Fantasy League, and society in general. after a highly heated dispute regarding who the rightful replacement should be. Let it be noted that Henry was originally slated to leave the league instead of Joe B, and did, but after a short time was allowed to rejoin after the elimination of the hated Joe B.

The Lockdown and the Yarmouth Sprint
Each summer in The Boston Boys Fantasy Baseball league, the league commissioner packs up and travels to Cape Cod with his family for the summer. Being without a computer, he was forced to turn the league over to Assistant Commissioner, Dan. During the summer of 2004, the first year of the Boston Boys League, Dan was acting commissioner when catastrophe broke out. Chaos and cries of revolution could be heard throughout the league in the form of dozens of arguments and shouts of mutiny. Overwhelmed with a mixture of power and chaos, Dan could do nothing to stop it. League members were going mad, adding and dropping players like there was no tomorrow and causing more trouble than was wanted by anyone. One member went so far as to say they had given up and that he would accept any trade offered to him during a certain time frame. The replacement commissioner, Dan, had to act fast and decided to shut down the member’s ability to trade. Joe felt it was necessary that Josh be notified of the chaos in the league. He called him, and left a Princess Laea-esque message on his machine. Joe actually recorded himself and sent a hologram message to Yarmouth, using his trusty robot R2D2. The message is thought to have read something like this:

Joe: Josh...We need your h;elp...Dan is d;estroying the league...he is overwhelmed by his new pow;ers...you are our last hope...you need to save the league now. According to my radar, the nearest computer that has internet capabilities is located at the Yarmouth Library. *end transmission*

Once the real commissioner heard the news, he immediately sprinted to his bike, and got to the Yarmouth library as fast as possible in order to restore order to the league. It has been rumored that he actually reached terminal velocity on his bike, but it was never proven by scientific means. It is only a legend. The league was in total shock when they heard that nobody was allowed to add, drop, trade, or post messages on the message board. This lockdown went on for over two weeks. Once order was restored, the league returned to what was important. However, many members of the league still have sour tastes in their mouths from this event, over 3 years later.

The Jorge Sosa Incident
It was during the dog days of August, year 2, that the Jorge Sosa Incident occured. With competition still raging throughout the league, and the playoff race well underway, something smelled awry. Bill left for a 10 day vacation, leaving the commissioner in charge of his roster for the trip. Bill left instructions as to adding and dropping players, with one main requirement: DO NOT DROP JORGE SOSA. Two days into the vacation, Jorge Sosa was dropped, due to a loss in playing time, according to the league office. This caused much outrage throughout the league, because an executive order of a fellow owner was violated. In the end, nobody picked up Jorge Sosa, and no actions of retaliation were taken by Bill. Though no big short term damage occurred, the incident left members with bad feelings toward the commisioner. It would build into controversy, and help lead to the Near Complete Coup d'Etat.

Rookies
A problem throughout the years has been about minor league prospects. This became an issue when Greg had drafted prospect Delmon Young. Because he was not in the Yahoo database, Greg was forced to have an open roster spot until that player was available. Without any warning, Josh picked up said player. He was then dropped, but claimed off of waivers by Henry. Once Greg realized it was very unlikely that Young would be starting at any time this year for Tampa Bay, he decided to drop all charges.

However, the first incident of drafting minor league players occurred during the draft of year two. Josh decided to draft Huston Street, prospect for the Oakland Athletics. Nobody in the league was aware of said player. Many members in the league were angered by the pick. Also, Josh had an imaginary spot on his roster until Street was called up. This also angered other members. Huston Street went on to win Rookie of the Year.

Several teams in the league are now scouting players in the Little League World Series, in hopes of creating a good crop of ultimate-minor league players. Tom was the first manager to recruit a LLWS star, claiming Dante Bichette Jr. in the 18th round of this year’s draft. History Buffs from the Catchphrase institute (a center for the study of Boston Boys Fantasy Baseball) speculate this could lead into the Dante Bichette Jr. Debacle, later down the road.

The Jonny Gomes Fiasco
The Jonny Gomes Fiasco is one of the more recent controversies in the Boston Boys Fantasy Baseball League. It was year 3 of the Boston Boys Fantasy Baseball League. Before the draft started, Jonny Gomes was sure to be a major sleeper for many teams. However, when one team tried to draft him (Joe) the League Commissioner told Joe that Jonny Gomes would not be playing at all this year, and that he would be warming the bench for the Devil Rays. Joe then drafted someone else. Next up, the Andrew took a risk on him anyways, since it was late in the draft. It turned out that there was no risk. Jonny Gomes was up on the Devil Rays' depth chart the whole time! The "risk" paid off for the Andrew. Jonny Gomes had 11 HR in the first month of the season. Who should actually own Jonny Gomes is still disputed today. Why the Commish relayed false information, nobody knows. This would set the stage for many things to come in the league.

Illegal Projectiles and Member Property
After the completion of the draft of Year 2, the members of the league decided to play a good game of taps on Greg's ultra-expensive basketball hoop. His hoop sounded great the whole game, until the incident occurred. Joe was playing very intensely throughout the whole game. Finally, it was Joe's turn at the foul line. The game was getting close, and Joe was ready to do anything to win. When the other members would take their turn at the foul line, they would softly toss the ball against the backboard. However, Joe actually took a crow hop and threw the basketball as hard as humanly possible. It is rumored that the ball actually traveled faster than the speed of sound. This is noted because some members of the league report seeing the ball hit the backboard before they heard it. However, this was never proven by scientific means. After that, the backboard began to make weird noises. Joe denied any foul play in throwing the ball, but the members of the league continued to tease him about it. Finally, Joe got so steamed that he snapped. At first, Joe walked away and was about to go home. However, he turned around mysteriously. The members said, "what are you doing?" Joe singled out Tim, saying "I'm gonna kill Tim!!!!" However, he never fought Tim, because the other members broke up the conflict. Joe and Tim had heated arguments soon after the conflict, but they now are back to having a good friendship.

However, this infamous event would start an on going conflict between Joe and Greg throughout all of year 2. Greg says that the board is broken, but Joe disagrees. The current state of the backboard is still disputed today.

The Open Mic Night Catastrophe
On a Friday night in the winter before the 3rd season, many members of the League were spending some time at the open mic night that their school was putting on. Most of the problems were put behind members this night. In the middle of the show, Joe had received a text message from the commissioner saying that he had to create a new league because of a rule about a trade deadline. Joe decided not to come to the Open Mic Night. Instead, he felt a duty to keep watch over the State of the League. When he realized that Josh was about to kill their original League, he immediatley called for back up. He called the first person he could think of- Andrew. Andrew was enjoying the Open Mic Night when all of a sudden...

 * Ring, Ring*

Andrew: Hello?

Joe: Its JOE!

Andrew: Ya, Whats up?

Joe: You need to get back to your house now! Josh is going crazy! He is trying to start a new league or something, I;m tr;ying to fight it but no one will listen to me. So far Mike is the only one to join! Get back here, now!! I need backup!

Andrew: I'm on it!

Andrew felt it was pivotal that he go home to try and see what was happening. He left the school and returned home in a record setting 1 minute and 32 seconds. He signed on to the League immediately and gave Joe the backup he needed. Unfortunately, he was too late. The old league was destroyed in favor of a new league. The reason for this decision is still disclosed to this date. However, there is one clue. When one member asked Josh why he destroyed the old league, he said: "If I ever see that old message board again, I will throw up. We need to start anew." Although there was much controversy on the Message Board, it was probably not enough of a reason to start a new league.

Many people speculate that this was the "straw the broke the camels back", in that the revolution tension was at its peak during this point. There was much tension during this time, and the coup d'etat was incredibly close to happening. The NARCs and the Loyalists went on to sign the Wildwood Accords (For more information, see The Wildwood Accords.)

The decision to destroy the old league page upset many members of the league because they had signed up early enough to get a very nice and low league number. However, many members felt that this was not crucial for the league. Unfortunately, nothing could be done to save the old yahoo league.

The Most Controversial Kid in the League
Since day one, over 3 years ago, Joe has been the most controversial kid in the league. Because of him, many long and stressful arguments occurred. He in many ways was the real reason why the league was locked down for those two long and frustrating weeks. He believed that Dan (acting commissioner while The Josh was on vacation) was acting like a dictator, and was using his “powers” way over the limit. Joe believed that the only way to stop this madness was to call the real Commissioner. The Commissioner then locked down the whole league because of how poorly Dan ran the league.

The whole league believes he will never shut up. He always has to have his way. In year two, Greg and Joe were always at each other’s necks. Every time Greg posted something, Joe would always fight back. These fights would last for days on end. However these two teams have fixed things up, yet small disagreements occur every once in a while.

Probably the biggest reason why he is very controversial is because he always vetoed trades that he accepted already. During year one, he always accepted trades, and then realized he made a mistake. He always got help from his cousin that guided him on every decision. He also got a lot of help from an outside source. Since year one, vetoing trades have not been allowed because of this kid. He not only vetoed his own trades, he vetoed other kid’s trades. If the person he wanted very badly was traded to someone else’s team, he would veto the trade because he was upset that he could get the player(s) he wanted. Many People also do not like how he won’t trade Manny Ramirez and Vladimir Guerrero**. He has had both of them since year two, and will not trade them. People have offered a lot, but he feels that they are his “Franchise Players”. Will he ever trade any of them? Only time will tell. However there have been reports that he was thinking of trading Vlad earlier this year, but has yet to trade him.

(**) It should be noted that Joe recently traded Vladimir Guerrero and CC Sabathia to Henry. Joe received...Mark Buehrle, Carlos Beltran, and Ryan Zimmerman.

The Politics of the League
Mike: Why do we need the politics of the league, anyways?

Current Style of Government: Totalitarian

Factions: Loyalists, The NARCs, Neutralists

(*)Note: During The Summer of Dan, the Government was of a Laissez Faire style.\

The Near Complete Coup d'Etat
During the winter after completion the second season, the members of The League felt that a change in commissioner was essential to keep order in the league. All but two members believed this. The members felt they were being suppressed by an unfair dictatorship, and wanted a fairer democratic league. Other complaints included the changing of stat categories to remove losses as a stat. However, this revolution was not completed because the current commissioner said "And I'm getting pretty sick of you guys complaining. If you all hate me and my rules and ideas so much, then I'll just quit." Nobody wanted him to quit, so the revolution never went through.

Cries for Democracy
Most of the members in the league were for a league where they got a say in every single decision that is made (for the people, by the people...), rather than an autocratic style of government. The league members made a compromise over what type of Political system they would follow. The Commish still has absolute power, but the members of the league can have a say in what goes on all the time. However, it was soon found out in the Winter heading into the 4th season that this "new government system" was actually based on a faulty foundation. To this date, the Commissioner still holds absolute power over every decision in the league. However, Peace Talks are slated to take place before the draft on March 10th. The hope is that a happy medium will be found between Dictatorship and Democratic Extremism. The NARCs have drafted an Entente that is waiting to be signed by every member of the league that will hopefully fix all Political problems.

The Wildwood Accords
The Wildwood Accords was thought to have been the most important document in League history up until the Winter heading into the 4th season. Following the league's outrage during the Impersonation Era, and events like the Jorge Sosa Incident, and the Dante Bichette Jr. Debacle, the league resorted to a rebellious and chaotic state in the off-season between the 2nd and 3rd seasons, AKA The Near Complete Coup d'Etat. People say that during this time, the League was incredibly close to dispersing. There were times that the league came horrifically close to war. Thanks to the Wildwood Accords, disaster was avoided for the time being. This single event divided the into three distinct factions and ideologies: The (then) Northern Alliance, led by Andrew, Joe, Tom, Dan, and Bill, held a meeting at a scenic, private, and undisclosed location on Wildwood Drive. The Northern Alliance was opposed by the Loyalists, consisting of Josh and Mike. Like Switzerland in World War II, Greg, Tim and Henry were all neutral during this time of heightened tension. The NARCs set up negotiating terms for the Loyalists about stat categories, and administrative powers. The two parties communicated and established the Wildwood Accords, which stated that the Commissioner not do anything stupid, and the NARCs would shut up. The style of government would forever change from an Oppressive Dictatorship to a Controlled Dictatorship, or so the NARCs thought. The Wildwood Accord proved to be similar to the Armistice that ended World War I, in that it proved to be only a stopgap between controversies. In reality, it solved nothing. Historians speculate that the Wildwood Accords will be the primary reason for an even worse war down the road. (See Cries for Democracy for more information on the faulty politcs the Wildwood Accords were based upon.)

The Mafia (Now Defunct) Coalition
After Illegal Projectiles, Joe and Greg were at each other’s necks for almost all of the second season. However, during the off-season leading up to season three, Joe and Greg came to an agreement. They agreed that they would ally themselves as the Mafia (Now Defunct) within the league and they would return to having a strong esprit de corps. Ever since the Alliance was signed by these members they have backed each other up throughout the third year. This created a new faction within the league. Although Joe will still always be apart of The NARCs, his true alliance now lies with The Mafia (Now Defunct).

The Impersonation Age
“When the Other GM's Were Left in the Dark” --Anonymous

The Near Complete Coup d'Etat was a result of the commissioner abusing his powers in a series of incidents including the Jorge Sosa Incident, during what is now called The Impersonation Era. The commissioner took over control of the team Henry, without the consent of the owner. This led to trading players in deals not ratified by the owner of Henry. This outraged the league, because the commissioner was abusing his powers. This madness was eventually stopped, due to pushing from the league, and the breaking of the communication barrier between Henry and the rest of the league. This subject of the commissioner’s powers and how they were to be used, and had been used was finally put to rest that winter following the Wildwood Accords.

I am the Lizard King! hahashfshduuhdfghsdghasjkkdfkldfddf

The Loyalists
Leader: Josh

Government Style: Dictatorial Regime

Current Members: Josh, Mike, Bill, Henry

Purpose of Faction: The purpose of the Loyalist Faction is to suppress any sort of Revolution, and stay Loyal to the government, always, no matter what.

History: The Loyalist Faction was formed naturally. As other members of the league began to create their own parties, the Loyalists were the only ones that stayed true to the government.

The NARCs
(The Northern Alliance of Renegade Commonwealths)

Leader: Andrew

Assistant to the Leader: Joe

Government Style: Democratic Extremism

Current Members: Andrew, Tom, Joe, Greg, Dan

Purpose of Faction: The purpose of this faction is and will always be to up hold and support a democratic style of government. The NARCs would do anything to protect democracy. They have been known to cause chaos in the league, because of their fight for justice, but they believe it is chaos for the right reasons.

History: When the Northern Alliance failed after the Near Complete Coup de’ Tat was toppled, its original members were devastated. Their leader, Andrew, proceeded to rally his troops to create a stronger, cohesive group that would become known as the Northern Alliance of Renegade Commonwealths.

Neutralists
Leader: None

Government Style: None

Current Members: Tim

Purpose of Faction: To not cause any controversy in the league, and not to step in the way of it as well.

How It Was Formed: Naturally. When everyone else was breaking up into different parties, these members decided to stay completely out of any controversy.

The Mafia Coalition (Now Defunct)
Leader: Joe

Government Style: Forget about it.

Past Members: Joe, Greg

Purpose of Faction: To do the league's dirty work. They ddod have some ties with The NARCs, but they mainly only rely on each other.

History: All past records of The Mafia Coalition have been shredded. The history of this faction will be forever shrouded in mystery. What is known, is that they merged with the NARCs after dispersing.

Faction Wars
So far, there has only been one war that was close to happening. It was between the NARCs and everybody else. The Mafia Coalition had merged with the NARCs by this time. This war was settled by The Wildwood Accords, or so the members thought. (See The Wildwood Accords for more information)

Coup de' Two
In the off-season between the 2006 and 2007 season, there were great discussions to overthrow the commissioner, led by the new NARCS. The current commissioner was off at school at was in very little contact with the rest of the league. These long and often heated lunch table discussions included who the new commissioner should be, how much power this person should have, and other topics about the league including possible stat changes. It was when the idea of overthrowing power was brought to the history buff Mr. Donnelly that the league realized revolution was not the answer. The league talked peacefully over the Internet to the commissioner and the league became much more democratic. The league was mutually able to agree on a change in statistics on the night of the draft and so far throughout the 2007 season, there have been no talks of revolution. However, the participation of a certain member is in debate, and will be until the start of the 2008 season.

Cookbook talk:Chocolate Truffles

truffle? not truffel

I would suggest omiting the icing sugar for a less sweet taste, over all the coating is a little more bitter but it keeps people coming back for more. Also if you like the taste of orange in your chocolate you can add 2 tablespoons of orange zest and a tablespoon of orange juice to the chocolate mixture immediately after removal from heat, a splash of rum or Kahlua is exelent also immediately after removal from heat

Truffel? Huh? It's truffle...
In any version of English, it's spelled 'truffle.'

Cell Biology/Energy supply/Important chemicals

Time for a lesson in terminology. The methods by which a cell supplies and stores energy are quite complex, and there are many long, scary words involved, as well as many short, scary acronyms for them. Many students will look at a system such as the Krebs cycle and tell themselves "There are way too many confusing words here, this is not for me!" In reality, the basic ideas are not that complex, and once you familiarize yourself with several of the chemicals integral to the energy storing processes, both photosynthesis and respiration will stop being so scary.

ADP and ATP
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), considered the universal energy currency of the cell, is a molecule with three phosphate groups attached to it. Though all three bonds contain stored chemical potential energy, the bonds between the second and third phosphate groups are relatively easier to break apart, thus providing a means of energy storage for the cell. As a result, breaking this bond to release energy, and forming it again to store energy, is relatively easy for a cell to carry out.

When an ATP molecule is lacking its third phosphate group, it is called adenosine diphospate (ADP). Here is a handy linguistic trick to remember which is which: a molecule of ATP has tied-in energy, but a molecule of ADP is drained of energy. If that doesn't work, just remember that chemical bonds store energy, so the molecule with another phosphate group ('tri-' (three) is one more than 'di-' (two)) bound to it will have more energy. Those are two strategies for differing the two.

The most important aspect of ATP is that it is used in all organisms as a universal currency of storing and transporting energy for immediate use. ATP is simple and easy to form, as well as easily portable throughout cell and tissue alike.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Bhensley. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bhensley~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:02, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Horticulture/Digitalis

Digitalis is a genus of about 20 species of herbaceous biennials, perennials and shrubs that was traditionally placed in the figwort family Scrophulariaceae, but following new genetic research has now been placed in the much enlarged family Plantaginaceae. The genus is native to Europe, western and central Asia and northwestern Africa.

The members of this genus are known in English as foxgloves. The scientific name means "finger-like", and refers to the ease which a flower of Digitalis purpurea can be fitted over a human fingertip. "Foxglove" has a similar origin as a corruption of "folk's glove", referring to the fairy folk.

Foxgloves are grown for their showy flowers and long period of bloom, but they are highly toxic, so care needs to be taken when growing where children or pets are present.

Description
The flowers are produced on a tall spikes or racemes, tubular with 2 lips, and vary in colour with species, from purple to pink, white and yellow. Leaves are in basal rosettes and also alternate on the stem, simple with slightly toothed margins.

Growing conditions
Full sun with a rich soil. Short-lived, but self seed readily in good soils.

Species

 * ../Digitalis cariensis/
 * ../Digitalis ciliata/
 * ../Digitalis davisiana/
 * ../Digitalis dubia/
 * ../Digitalis ferruginea/
 * ../Digitalis grandiflora/
 * ../Digitalis laevigata/
 * ../Digitalis lanata/
 * ../Digitalis leucophaea/
 * ../Digitalis lutea/
 * ../Digitalis obscura/
 * ../Digitalis parviflora/
 * ../Digitalis purpurea/
 * ../Digitalis thapsi/
 * ../Digitalis trojana/
 * ../Digitalis viridiflora/

Uses
Foxgloves can be used for cut flowers, however due to the toxicity this may be inappropriate for homes with cats or children.

Digitalis is also the name of a group of drugs (digitalis glycosides) derived from the plant. This is a classic example of an active ingredient formerly used by folklorists and herbalists, now having being identified, purified and used in mainstream medicine. Herbalists have largely abandoned its use because of its narrow therapeutic index and the difficulty of determining the amount of active drug in herbal preparations. Digitalis was initially employed empirically for a variety of purposes, including the treatment of epilepsy and other disorders. Its use is now confined to treating heart problems (mainly regulating the pulse) as it is ineffective in those other conditions.

Toxicity
Depending on the species, the digitalis plant may contain several deadly physiological and chemically related cardiac and steroidal glycosides. Thus, the digitalis has earned several more sinister monikers: "Dead Man’s Bells", and "Witches’ Gloves".

The entire plant is a poison (including the roots and seeds), although the leaves of the upper stem are particularly potent, with just a nibble being enough to potentially cause death. Early symptoms of ingestion include nausea, vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, abdominal pain, wild hallucinations, delirium, and severe headache. Depending on the severity of the toxicosis the victim may later suffer irregular and slow pulse, tremors, various cerebral disturbances, especially of a visual nature (unusual color visions with objects appearing yellowish to green, and blue halos around lights), convulsions, and deadly disturbances of the heart.

There have been instances of people confusing digitalis with the harmless ../Symphytum/ (comphrey) plant (which is often brewed into a tea) with fatal consequences. Other fatal accidents involve children drinking the water in a vase containing digitalis plants. Drying does not reduce the toxicity of the plant. The plant is toxic to animals including all classes of livestock, as well as cats and dogs.

Propagation
Plants tend to reseed prolifically in the garden, but are also easy in flats.

Harvest
Flowers are good for the vase, but water should be changed and disposed of regularly.

Cookbook talk:Macaroni and Cheese (Baked)

We british people think you should remove the unnecessary amphersand (&) from the title. Such in the way of Spaghetti Bolognaise, Spaghetti Carbonara.

 * The colloquial title of the dish is "Macaroni and cheese", for which the ampersand is an abbreviation. We cannot call it "Macaroni cheese", because that doesnt make alot of sense. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 02:02, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Is this taken from http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_18422,00.html or vice versa? It's identical I think... (EAi on wikipedia 85.211.21.99 23:47, 15 November 2007 (UTC))

Not exactly identical-- this one includes tabasco sauce in the list of ingredients (but it isn't used) and calls for red instead of yellow onion...

Unfortunately, what you have contributed thus far does not seem to be in line with the purpose of Wikibooks as a development platform for academic textbooks. For an original RPG system, may I suggest RPGnetWiki? . Perhaps this would be a better home for your work, it seems to have a lot of RPG systems and you can post yours. If you'd like help with transwikiing your work let me know.

Mattb112885 03:46, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah, sorry about that. I'll try to move this to RPG wiki as soon as possible.

It is no problem, thank you for considering us in any case!

I'm also a wikipedian reader, but frankly, I don't do much editing over there, if at all. I've come over here because I think I can make a change, frankly, the Music Theory book.

Hopefully I will eventually be able to contribute to a number of subjects including Programming, Music, and/or Science.

CAT-Tools/DéjàVu X/fails to export or exports incompletely

There is probably a code problem. You can check by adding a new target language, e.g. Zulu: if you do a Pseudotranslation of that language (menu Translation) and can export that pseudotranslation, the file is exportable (Pseudotranslation inserts the codes correctly). If your language isn't, there is a code problem. (trick added by Walter Weyne)

Use the command Check embedded codes - Ctrl + Shift + F8. When DV stops at a row with a code problem a description is given (in small print!) below left in the status bar.

Checklist:

1. The target segment must match the following possibilities with the source segment:

a. source begins / does not begin with a code

b. source ends / does not end with a code

2. Codes must appear in the same relative order.

3. Codes that are adjacent in the source (no intervening characters) must appear that way in the target.

4. Codes that are separated by one or more characters in the source must be separated by one or more characters in the target (not necessarily the same characters). (You can add a character such as ~ or $$ to find that location in the exported document and correct it if necessary.)

5. The codes are bracketed by curly brackets, for example {0039}, with the code and curly brackets greyed out. Sometimes, though, a code will "lose" one of its curly brackets, and become attached to another code, for example [0039}0040}, with the entire unit greyed out and a stray { in regular black text somewhere in the section. The solution is to delete the entire unit, use F8 to reenter the correct codes, and then delete the stray black bracket. (DejaVu doesn't like "{" and "}" in the text.
