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 Paperflowergirl. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Paperflowergirl~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.

Wings 3D/Tutorials/Duplicating around a center

This tutorial is intended for users already familiar with Wings 3D commands to some extent. With the technique demonstrated, a Wings 3D user should be able to able to duplicate items around a center rather quickly.

Starting point

Let's say we want to duplicate the twisted column on the right in a circle around the point indicated by the red spot.

Setting up duplication

First figure out what number of times you want the object to go around the point. Create a new cylinder with the number of sides set to this number. To set the number of sides on a cylinder either right click on cylinder or on the adjacent box. You may need to enable advanced menus first in preferences. Place this cylinder so that its axis passes through the desired centerpoint.

Make an extrusion

Pick a side on the cylinder and extrude it outward by an arbitrary amount.

Loop cut

Loop cut the extrusion from the cylinder.

Combine

Select the extruded bit and the object to be duplicated and combine them.

Select interior face

Hide the cylinder. Select the face on the extruded bit that was facing the cylinder.

Use Put-On

Without deselecting the face, unhide the cylinder. Right click on the Put-On command. Select all visible faces on the cylinder.

Almost there

After executing the Put-On, you should see all your columns duplicated around the central cylinder. What's this? Something's not quite right. A column is missing.

Select errant object

Fret not, fellow Wings3D user! There's a sort of bug in the Put-On command that occasionally makes it behave funny. On random occasions it will rotate items being put on. In this case the missing column is spotted poking through the bottom. Clicking on it in body (object) mode will select it and its corresponding extruded bit.

Rotate to fix

Without deselecting the item from before, click rotate about selection. Select the face as shown. (It has the blue arrow sticking out of it, if not too clear otherwise.) Rotate 180°.

Check placement

Now the "missing" column is rotated into its proper position. That wasn't so hard to fix, was it?

Discard temporary objects

Select all the extruded bits in the center in body (object) mode. (All associated columns should select too.) Select separate from the menu. Go back and delete the cylinder and the extruded bits.

End result

If completed correctly, you should have columns going around the center. This technique should be handy for anything that gets repeated in a circle, not just architectural columns. This could be lug nuts on a wheel, decorative stars, spokes, meat grinder spikes, tire treads, etc. Have fun!

Talk:LaTeX/Floats, Figures and Captions

Code wrapfloatbox not working
For some strange reason, the code in wrapfloatbox gives me a number of errors, of which the most important seems to be: Missing \begin{document}... Apparently, something goes wrong with the @ symbol, because in the output the text starts with: simplerule[2]fs@cfont 12 simplerules@capt@@simplerule s@iftopcapt

I couldn't find a way around it yet, but in any case it would be nice to make the code self-contained. To run that example, people also have to remember to add the package wrapfig to the preamble.

Text overlapping figures
Can we put a section about how to have a transparent figure legend placed over a full page picture, as this is something I really want to be able to do.

Errors in Wrapping figures
I modified Andy Robert's wrapping.tex according to instructions on additional parameters of wrapping and it did not work. The image was not wrapped, but sticked out of page. I was using latex + dvipdf because pdflatex had problems with .eps file.

If these examples do not work, perhaps, we should remove them? --Derbeth talk 20:14, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

 * yes, the example you tried didn't work. Now I have fixed everything, improving the article. It should be fine now Alessio Damato 15:29, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks! --Derbeth talk 12:43, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

PDF's and .tex sources
I removed mention of .tex sources at the end of this chapter. I think that everything has already been used here, but if you want to link them again, see http://www.andy-roberts.net/misc/latex/latextutorial6.html. --Derbeth talk 20:33, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Aligning Captions
The captions under figures always are in the centre of the page, regardless of where the figure is. How can this be changed? --Munchkinguy 03:49, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * what do you mean exactly? do you want to change the position or the alignment of the captions?? Alessio Damato 15:43, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Footnotes in Floats
Quite often one (me as well) would like to have footnotes in captions or in the body of a table. For example to explain the variables or the source of the information.

Two information I've found are: for tables: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=footintab for captions: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=ftncapt

The general (but for some reason disliked) solution is to put everything in a minipage. Should we add this to the page?

placeins
We should mention the package placeins somewhere (it "Defines a \FloatBarrier command, beyond which floats may not pass; useful, for example, to ensure all floats for a section appear before the next \section command.")

inside floats, \centering is better than \begin{center} ... \end{center}
We should mention that somewhere. It's documented at, e.g., : "with the combination of figure and center you get a doublespacing before and after, whereas the combination of figure and \centering only gives you the spacing from figure."

p placement specifier
Controlling placement of full-page figures is a very annoying problem for the unexperienced users. Clear explanation of [p] in this document would be very useful.

Subfloats
Hey I just wanted to mention that subfig package overrides the definition of captions for the KOMA-Script package. Since koma is widely used I thought it should be mentioned here too. The remedy to this is to use the subfigure package, which is much more comprehensive and does not overide the KOMA-Script settings. If no body changes this note here, I will edit the main article and add this. Cheers, Oz.

I think that'd be the prober way, Oz. I'm a LaTeX newbie and I got confused since I don't have a subfig package with subfloats, but a subfigure package using subfigures. Otherwise this article is a great resource. Weeeeeeee, Jack. (10:41, 23 March 2010 JackSchnippes)

The subfigure and subfig packaged are NOT under current developement anymore so I would suggest to replace subfig to caption and subcaption --Nobelium (discuss • contribs) 22:20, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

File:Latex example subfig.png

The shown example picture is quite misleading, as no horizontal spaces between figures are defined in the code itself but are visible in the picture.

141.19.87.180 (discuss)
 * You're right, so I've tweaked the code to match the image as I don't have the source figures. Also in testing this I noticed that the description in the list below the example didn't seem to be quite right, so I changed it to match the behaviour I can produce here.  It didn't 'feel' quite right anyway given the handling of whitespace elsewhere (just in case there could be a difference in implementation I'm using MikTeX 2.9 on Windows XP. ChrisHodgesUK (discuss • contribs) 13:43, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your efforts, still I have got one suggestion left: to put "~" into a new line with a comment e. g.  --Escalator (discuss • contribs) 16:14, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

 * I've done this, with an additional note in the comment about line feeds - feel free to tweak it though - I think you're able to as a new user. ChrisHodgesUK (discuss • contribs) 17:18, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Thanks again :-) You are right, I might edit on my own. But still need some time to learn the right approaches and deepen my beginner´s LaTeX knowledge, thus being rather cautios so far :-) Escalator (discuss • contribs) 14:50, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Changed the subfloat-part according to Nobelium's suggestion. and  are listed as deprecated in the newest (german) version of l2tabu.pdf. -Konteki (discuss • contribs) 10:06, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

 * forgotten [width=\textwidth] on include graphics, because \includegraphics takes a picture size way too big by default and the width must be \textwidth because subfigure is basically a minipage environment and thus \textwidth is already a third of the page's \textwidth Otherwise results in overlapping figures with pdflatex (TexLive 2012 Debian).

i just corrected it

Je ne détiens pas la vérité universelle (discuss • contribs) 10:07, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

I just wanted to mention that I have had many headaches with the subcaption package. It does not seem to play nicely with a lot of templates for academic journals. For example the templates for the Institute of Physics, and the publisher Springer. Despite being deprecated I find myself dropping back to the subfigure package. I think the incompatibilities need to be addressed before subcaption can be recommended for widespread use, alternatively it should be presented as just one option amongst subfigure and subfig.

the specifier
In the examples the  specifier is often used but it isn't accepted as a good specifier. I admit that it should be explaned but it should'n be used in the example. The way I learned to use specifiers is:
 * 1) make your document without specifiers
 * 2) once a chapter is completely written, add the specifier   or   to the figures that aren't placed like you want.
 * 3) if that doesn't help: use the   specifier
 * 4) as last option, if it's still not looking good, you can use  . But if you have to use   a lot, your document is'n well written and contains to much figures compared to the amount of text.
 * That feels like a good approach, but the last comment about the ratio of graphics to text isn't necessarily true - it depends what you're writing, a 3 page paper doesn't give you as much flexibility as a book, for example. ChrisHodgesUK (discuss • contribs) 10:58, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

auto reorder floats
IS there a way to have LaTeX automatically reorder my float numbers based on the order that I reference them? i.e. if I move a reference to Figure 2 up above the reference for figure 1, can I set it up so that I don't have to move the figure to get it to become figure 1? 128.8.211.123 (discuss) 18:24, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

My picture is not where i want it!
Helpers hear this quite often because users don't know what is going on. Would it be a good iea to change the title of this page to Automatic placement of figure and table boxes (or something similar) that it becomes really really obvious why figures/tables are moved. Thoughts? The title needs changing anyway since there is no mention of tables right now. --Johannes Bo (discuss • contribs) 15:18, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Waste of time
Sorry guys, but working on this wikibook is a real waste of time. If the starters of this book would have thought a few moments about how to structure it, we wouldn't have duplication of stuff. Why is this float placement stuff discussed TWO times when it should be only once? Why is there a separation between figures and tables on this page? Why x? Why Y? Why Z?

Is anybody even reading this? If so, give a short call out. This thing is driving me completely nuts.--Johannes Bo (discuss • contribs) 16:31, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

limit on number of floats
"LaTeX by default can cope with maximum 18 floats" -- this can mislead readers into thinking that their document can't have more than 18 figures. I believe that the limit is only on the number of floats which haven't been placed at any point of time. Please clarify it. Zero0000 (discuss • contribs) 04:55, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The whole page and the whole wikibook needs attention. I slightly mended that part for now. Complete rewrite needed.--Johannes Bo (discuss • contribs) 07:43, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Wings 3D/Tutorials/Duplicating around a center

Uploaded the tutorial. I may end up renaming the steps later, as the content list is already numbered. (I didn't think of that at first.) This might need some other editing for layout purposes. --Pauljs75 00:45, 9 January 2006 (UTC) Paul - a good use for Put-On, I thought - just thought I'd mention that using Face | Extract > Normal > O (instead of 3, 4) would save user a step.

I've also come across the bug / issue. Manually selecting all the faces in step 7, except for the one used for extraction / extrusion purposes seemed to give better results than going - Select Face, Select Similar (I) - and getting them all. I doubt it's a 'proper' solution - just seemed to be better when I tried it.

pp I renamed all the steps involved. It seemed a bit redundant to see the content listed as "1 Step 1". Hopefully the names are more descriptive in that regard. Yet they still might need further clarification. --Pauljs75 05:18, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Picture flagged for deletion?
Anyone know why one of the pics in this tutorial is flagged for deletion. (Or at least I see that in my messages here. Sorry, haven't logged in in a loong time.) I thought it was a fairly straight forward process to release a screen shot as public domain. Especially one from an open source software with no known usage restrictions. I'm confused.

I am dissapointed that all of the editing was never positive, and surprised that there are no good players out there who want to share their knowledge. If you like you could put it as my strategy on the game in hoping that some grand master might put their strategies too.

Unfortunately the web site was continuously suffering from download problems, and indeed www.roxr.com have closed, so my web site is no more. My game does exist, it is free, but I have no website to host it yet.

Since external links are better at the bottom of the page like : author game which lead to this wiki page (link...); I would like to be able to offer my game that I developped in my spare time to those who liked my rules of good playing, so that they can see them brought to life. ---

Chinese Checkers play strategy
My name is Elaine, and I have been playing chinese checkers with different folks for 30 years. There is nothing wrong with Darren Chilton's strategy guide. Of course, I have other opening strategies, but the information he presented is the best of the basic best.

--Reply-- With so much experience you could put some of your strategies? --DarrenChilton 17:34, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wiki
Not a proper greeting I realize, but one is in store. I think that I should be clear. On Wiki, we are serious, but just like anything in life, there is room for fun. I don't know what you may think of Wikipedia or Wikibooks, but I hope you like it. It really isn't hard to find your way around here, but if you have any questions, come to my site and leave a comment on the discussion page. Have fun, and may the edit be strong with you young one.

Dog Care/Heartworms

Heartworm is a parasitic roundworm (Dirofilaria immitis) that is spread from host to host through the bites of mosquitoes. The heartworm affects dogs, cats, wolves, coyotes, foxes, and some other animals, such as ferrets, sea lions, and even humans, but it is unusual for humans to become infected. The parasitic worm is called a "heartworm" because the parasite, in the final reproductive stage of its life cycle, resides in the heart of its host where it can stay for many years, until it kills its host through congestive failure of the heart.

Prevention
Prevention of heartworm infection can be obtained through a number of veterinary drugs. Most popular are ivermectin (sold under the brand name Heartgard), milbmycin (Interceptor) and moxidectin (ProHeart) administered as pills or chewable tablets. These drugs are given monthly during the local mosquito season. Moxidectin is also available in a six-month sustained release injection administered by veterinarians, but the injectable form of Moxidectin was taken off the market in the United States due to safety concerns. Selamectin (Revolution), on the other hand, is a topical preventive that is likewise administered monthly. Some of these drugs also kill other parasites, including intestinal worms. In addition, Selamectin controls fleas, ticks, and mites.

Preventative drugs are highly effective, and when regularly administered will protect more than 99 percent of dogs from infection. Most failures of protection result from irregular and infrequent administration of the drug. However, the monthly preventives all have a reasonable margin for error in their administration such that if a single month's dose is accidentally missed, adequate protection is usually provided so long as the next two monthly doses are administered on schedule.

Monthly heartworm prevention should be administered beginning within a month of the onset of the local mosquito season and continued for a month after the cessation of local mosquito activity. In warm climates, such as the warm temperate climate along the immediate Gulf coast of the United States and in tropical and subtropical regions, heartworm prevention must be administered year round. Some authorities recommend year round administration even in colder climates on the theory that mosquito activity may occur during the occasional unseasonable warm spell, but others argue that computer models indicate heartworm transmission is highly unlikely under such circumstances.

Symptoms of infestation
Dogs show no indication of heartworm infestation during the 6 month long prepatent period prior to the worms' maturation, and current diagnostic tests for the presence of microfilariae or antigens cannot detect prepatent infections. Rarely, migrating heartworm larvae get "lost" and end up in unusual sites such as the eye, brain, or an artery in the leg, which results in unusual symptoms such as blindness, seizures and lameness.

Many dogs will show little or no sign of infection even after the heartworms have matured. To some degree these dogs may be described as seeming to age slightly faster than normal as the worms slowly damage the lungs, kidneys and liver. These animals usually have a light infection and live a fairly sedentary lifestyle. However, active dogs and those with heavier infections will quickly show the classic symptoms of heartworm disease. Early symptoms include a cough, especially on exercise, and early exhaustion upon exercise. More advanced cases progress to severe weight loss, fainting, coughing up blood, and, finally, congestive heart failure.

Testing
Heartworms can be detected by blood test. The filtration test finds microfilariae in the blood; the occult tests (antigen and antibody) are used to detect adult worms. Many veterinarians prefer to do both tests, since the absence of microfilariae in the blood does not necessarily mean that there are no adult worms in the heart. Both tests are done with a single blood draw, preferably in the early spring before daily temperatures warm above 57° F.

X-ray radiographs and, to a lesser extent, ultrasound can also detect the presence of adult heartworms in the heart and lungs. X-rays also can provide a good estimate of the amount of lung damage caused by the presence of heartworms.

Treatment
If either a blood test or the onset of symptoms betray the presence of heartworms, treatment is indicated. Treatment is highly efficacious if the disease is caught early in the disease process. Before the worms can be treated, however, the dog must be evaluated for good heart, liver, and kidney function to ensure the animal can survive the treatment. Any insufficiencies in these organs must be dealt with first, before treatment, as the eradication process can be taxing on organ function. Usually the adult worms are killed with an arsenic-based compound. The currently recommended compound, Melarsomine dihydrochloride, is marketed under the brand name Immiticide. It has a greater efficacy and fewer side effects than previous formulation (Thiacetarsamide sodium, sold as Caparsolate) which makes it a safer alternative for dogs with late-stage infestations.

After treatment, the dog must rest (restricted exercise) for several weeks so as to give its body sufficient time to absorb the dead worms without ill effect. Otherwise, when the dog is under exertion, dead worms may break loose and travel to the lungs, potentially causing respiratory failure and death.

The course of treatment is not completed until several weeks later when the microfilariae are dealt with in a separate course of treatment. Once heartworm tests come back negative, the treatment is considered a success.

Surgical removal of the adult heartworms is also a treatment that may be indicated, especially in advanced cases with substantial heart involvement.

Long term monthly administration of ivermectin (but apparently not moxidectin, milbemycin or selamectin) year round for at least three years at the dose normally used for heartworm prevention also removes most adult heartworms from most dogs. However, this is not the treatment of choice for removal of adult heartworms for two reasons. First, not all dogs are completely cleared of heartworms by this treatment. More importantly, adult heartworms do not begin to die until some 18 months of treatment have elapsed, which is not acceptable under most circumstances. This treatment is normally reserved for dogs that are not likely to tolerate treatment with the harsher, but more effective, melarsomine or instances where the owner cannot afford the more expensive melarsomine treatment.

From time to time various "homeopathic," "natural" or "organic" products are touted as cures or preventives for heartworm disease. However, such products have never been proven effective by rigorous scientific methods, and the claims should be viewed with skepticism.

Biblical Studies/Christianity/Becoming a Christian

Throughout Christian history, the topic of how or when a believer in Jesus as the Risen Christ becomes a Christian has been debated, and the debate continues into the modern era. Honestly, the debate is based on the divide between the High Churches (those which are highly ritualized, like the Catholic and Orthodox Churches) and Low Churches (those that are highly informal, like the Baptists, Pentecostals, and the several "Free"/"Non-Denominational" Churches), and it is centered on whether simply holding the belief inside one's heart and acting as a Christian (which includes "confession" of Jesus as Lord and Savior), is enough to enter the community of believers, or whether the convert should be entered into the community only after receiving certain rituals, like Baptism and First Communion. And the major problem in resolving the issue is that both sides have scripture that supports their position.

The reason disagreements exist over how one becomes a Christian is because there are two problems that can create misunderstandings within the Christian community. There is some corruption ("sin") that we are born with, which influences how the story of Jesus Christ is heard, and many of the disagreements over how to become a Christian can be traced back to a disagreement on how to resolve the issue(s) created by the corruption. In addition to that, there is an evil spirit - Satan, or the Devil - who is constantly working to create confusion on how to be reconciled with God by creating non Christian religions around the world, and also by creating confusion on how Christians can be faithful to God and still participate in the cultures of the world around them.

Jesus Christ anticipated His Church having these kinds of problems, and made a provision to resolve the conflict(s).

The answer Jesus Christ gave is found at the end of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus gives us two commandments beyond that of always act in love in all ways. He first tells his disciples to share the Communion meal, and then, in Mat 28, commissions them to "Go forth and baptize all nations in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." Along with many passages in the letter of James and elsewhere, this is the Scripture that the High Church uses to justify their position. The Low Church, by contrast, prefers to use the scriptures which suggest a more free-form version, such as those in Acts or Paul's letters, in which all that is necessary to be admitted into Christian community is right belief.

In any case, all Christian denominations do celebrate the sacrament of Baptism, the ritual for which always begins with a reading of Scripture, followed by a profession of faith (in the High Churches, this is done by a short responsory to the Apostle's Creed), the immersion or imposition of water, and finally the anointing of the newly baptized.

In the Catholic Church a person may receive the holy sacrament of baptism and attend Sunday school to grow in the faith, learn about the catholic faith, and receive additional holy sacraments (Penance, Eucharist, Confirmation). Adults may become catholic by taking classes through a program called Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults or RCIA.

MediaWiki Administrator's Handbook/Being a Project Leader

The process that made you an administrator on the MediaWiki project that you are working on has made you one of the most visible members of that community. Either you are starting out a brand new project, or you have been elected from your peers to take a larger role in moderating discussion.

Starting a Completely New Project
If you have decided to take the path of starting a completely new project from scratch, as the founding member you are usually given administrator rights to get things going right away, and often even more. This founding user is by definition the older person on the project.

Other sections of this book will deal with how to get a project to grow, especially just simply trying to get something started at all, but it is important to remember the implications of your position as the founder of a project. Generally your opinion is going to be strongly considered, and you have available to you the ability to take drastic steps in controlling the community... particularly if you also have direct access to the physical computer equipment that is running the project.

Keep in mind that most people will have a sort of reverence toward the founder, even if the founder decides to go into semi-retirement and leave the main organization of the community to other people. This is deserved in part because any on-line community only gets to where it is at because of the efforts of this founder. It takes quite a bit of effort to get something going in the first place, and with enough different websites around the world nobody is simply going to get to a website simply because it exists. This is in particular where the leadership principles come into place on a social level.

Often what is needed is simply a model example for what you as a founder want the project to look like. In the initial stages, you need to demonstrate leadership both by showing examples, and gently trying to remind people when inappropriate content is being added. How permissive or how abrasive you are toward new users is going to have a huge effect on the growth and popularity of the project, regardless of the merits of what you do or the quality of the content.

It is also important to realize that you can't be pleasing to everybody on every point. The most successful leaders will always have detractors and possibly out right enemies. The successful leader will know when they are being abusive and need to pull back, and when perhaps they have gone too far and created too many enemies that should be their friends. Unfortunately, the only real way to learn how to do that is simply experience and getting opportunities to practice leadership ideas.

Being Chosen by Your Peers
There are several ways that you can become an administrator, but most likely you have been chosen by being an outstanding contributor to the project. Often this selection is made through some sort of formal nomination process where other members of the community also have a chance to support your nomination in a sort of election. The exact process is something that is specific to the project you are working on, but you should take the nomination as a sign of recognition that you have already done an outstanding job.

In this situation, you are going to need to learn the policies and procedures of the project in a little more depth. This is not exactly an easy situation, and it is surprising how many policies that you didn't realize existed prior to becoming an administrator, even if you were a very active user previously.

Moderate, Don't Dominate
One aspect of becoming an administrator is that you are now a part of the group that is enforcing policies. If you have been vocal in the past, you need to tone down some of the arguments from the style you have used in the past, understanding that you need to help moderate the tone of the discussions you are involved with.

As a general philosophy, it would be wise to not immediately implement drastic changes to the project, especially in areas that require the extra privileges that come from being an administrator. Seek input from the other people involved in the project before you make any major changes, and implement community decisions even if it goes against your own personal opinion.

Also, don't hesitate to admit that you might be wrong occasionally. You will be making mistakes along the way as an administrator, especially if you are new to doing this sort of task. Discover the different ways you can communicate to the other users in your community, including Water Cooler type pages, e-mail, user talk pages, article discussion pages, project e-mail lists, phone numbers and instant message accounts.

Innovation and Project Development
One aspect of project leadership also takes on the social responsibility of project innovation and development. It is likely that there was always some task you felt wasn't being adequately dealt with in some manner before you became an administrator, and now you have the opportunity to try and fix things in a way you couldn't before.

Innovation might also take many forms. You can start new sections of your project, or try to fill in holes that weren't covered before. In addition, if you were elected to become an administrator it is likely that you have a small group of supporters already who are interested in what you are doing, and it is possible to help motivate those supporters to work together and get some things accomplished as well.

HyperText Markup Language/Standard Attributes List

Below is a list of all attributes which are available for most elements in HTML.

You can also view a list of HTML elements.

class
This attribute allows you to designate an element to be a member of a given class. Multiple elements can be assigned to the same class (eg. ), as well as a single element belonging to multiple classes (eg.  ).

dir
With this attribute you can define which direction the text is written for a given element, either  for left-to-right or   for right-to-left.

height
Setting this attribute with a numerical value defines the height of an element in pixels (eg. )

id
This attribute allows you to define a unique identifier for each element. This would be useful for hyperlinks that link to a specific section of a page or when styling using a style sheet.

lang
With this attribute you can specify a language that is used for an element.

style
This attribute allows you to apply specific styling to a given element.

title
With this attribute you can define what will be displayed when a user hovers the element. It is not available for base, head, html, meta, param, script, style, and title.

width
Setting this attribute with a numerical value defines the width of an element in pixels (eg. )

accesskey
The  attribute defines a keyboard shortcut for a hyperlink or form element. The combination of keys need to activate the shortcut varies from browser to browser. In Microsoft Internet Explorer the user must press Alt+accesskey. If the shortcut is for a link the user must then press Enter to follow the link. The choice of Alt+accesskey means that access keys can clash with shortcuts built-in to the browser.

It is quite common to use numbers for the access keys since these don't clash with any major browser's built-in shortcuts, e. g.
 * 1 = Home Page
 * 0 = List of access keys on this website.

There is no standard way to let users know the access keys that are available on the page. Some suggestions can be found in Accesskeys: Unlocking Hidden Navigation.

Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Model a Silver Goblet

Basic Shape

At first glance, the goblet looks like it is composed of cylinders. However, while it is possible to model the goblet with a cylinder mesh, it is easier to make a goblet by using cubes. Cubes make the goblet faster to make and it makes fewer vertices to track. Now, lets start making the basic shape of the goblet.

Start with the default cube and go to Edit Mode. Toggle off "limit selection to visible". Move to the side view. Toggle to ortho view. Box select the top edges of the cube. Extrude upward about one grid square. Hold down while extruding for incremental movement; by default movement should be restricted to the Z-axis (normal to the selection); if necessary, press  to toggle this effect. This extrusion is called E1. Repeat 2 more times for extrusion 2 and 3 (E2 and E3).

Now Extrude a longer piece upwards, for the Goblet's stem, of 10 grid squares (E4). Next we will define the area for the 2 top knobs and the bottom of the glass by Extruding upwards 5 more times at 1 grid square each (E5-E9). Next do another upward Extrusion of about 10 grid squares (E10). This is the actual glass itself.

Inflate the Glass
Now, let's begin to inflate the glass. First, clear all selections by hitting the. Make sure you are still in the side view. Box select the bottom most cube (all 8 vertices, not just the bottom 4). Then expand it outward by scaling, then pressing + to lock/prevent any scaling in height along the Z-axis and finally pressing to quadruple its size. Next, deselect all vertices, select the 4th pair of vertices (E2), scale them , lock scaling (+) and triple the vertices in size ( and ).

Do the same for E5 and E7 (the 7th and 9th pairs of vertices, respectively). Then expand ( and +) the top, Goblet rectangle (E9 and E10) to 6 times its current size.

Make the cup's interior
Last is the cup's interior. Once again, you should still be in the side view. Box select the very top most vertices of the Goblet (E10). Once selected, get a better view by changing to 'Orbit Up'. With the top surface selected, initiate an Extrusion, followed by a termination with the. It will appear as if nothing has happened, but new, overlapping edges have been created and are now selected (this also creates E11). Next Scale the selected vertices to 90% of the original size. This creates the inside lip of the cup. Now, Extrude the interior lip, along the Z-axis downward  to create the bottom interior of the Goblet (E12). Finish off by selecting all, and then a 'Remove Doubles' ( → Remove Doubles), for good measure. It should look something like this.

Smoothing and Defining
Time to take the mesh and turn it into a proper goblet. Add a subsurf modifier with 3 view subdivisions to the mesh. Change to Object Mode and select smooth shading. The cube-looking mesh will now look like an object that was created from a cylinder. This has removed all our crisp edges, but our globlet is looking very unstable! Let's rectify things by flattening the bottom.

Noob Note: ''If your goblet has a bulge in it after applying the subsurf, go to Edit mode, select all , press , and select "Remove doubles". (If a menu for boolean operations appears when you hit the, then you're not in Edit mode; change immediately to Edit mode and try the again.)''

Select the four edges that surround the small circle at the very bottom (the very lowest set of edges) and press + to enable creasing. Now drag the mouse up and down to select the level of the crease. When you're satisfied, hit. Repeat the process for other edges you want to be sharp. I've turned on Draw Creases under Mesh Tools 1 to illustrate which edges have been creased (highlighted yellow) in this example.

That concludes the creation of the goblet. Save the scene for use in the lighting tutorial.

 * “Georgia manages water resources in a sustainable manner to support the state’s economy, to protect public health and natural systems, and to enhance the quality of life for all citizens.” (Status = done)

Goals & Objectives

 * This section of the Plan would include a set of statements that collectively express the aspirations of development and implementation of a State Water Plan. A suggested starting point for this section of the Plan would be the set of six goals adopted by the Joint Water Study Committee in its document entitled “Water Management Planning – Vision, Principles, & Goals”.
 * (Status = done)

Introduction

 * legislative charge to develop a State Water Plan (Status = done)
 * description of need for a State Water Plan, leading to the legislation (Status = draft)
 * brief general description of water conditions and problems (details left for regional plans) (Status = draft)
 * historical and current statewide population distributions
 * state-wide water use patterns (historical and current) and future trends,
 * State-wide occurrence of surface and ground waters
 * state-wide water quality trends (historical and current) and future demands
 * state-wide water-based ecological conditions (wetlands, marshlands and estuaries, riverine ecosystem conditions, etc.)
 * more...

Planning Process

 * This section of the Plan would describe the planning process.
 * Organizational structure (defined by Legislature) (Status = done)
 * lead agency
 * interagency coordination responsibilities (Status)
 * roles of department Boards
 * role of the Water Resources Council
 * role of the Legislature in approving/adopting the Plan
 * Description of the major tasks required to complete the Plan. (Status)
 * Schedule for completion of each of the major components of the Plan. (Status)
 * Schedule for revision and updating of the plan. (Status)
 * Description of a required public involvement process associated with development of the components of the Plan. (Status)
 * Description of the planning regions. (Status = draft)
 * Description of how existing and in-progress regional plans will be integrated into the state plan. (Status)

General Guiding Principles
The Council believes the following principles (from the work of the JWSC) should guide the development of the State Water Plan:
 * 1) Effective water resources management protects health and the safety and welfare of Georgia’s citizens;
 * 2) Water resources are managed in a sustainable manner so that current and future generations have access to adequate supplies of quality water that supports both human and natural systems; (Status)
 * 3) All citizens have a stewardship responsibility to conserve and protect the water resources of Georgia; (Status)
 * 4) Water management efforts recognize that economic prosperity and environmental quality are interdependent; (Status)
 * 5) Water quality and quantity and surface and ground water are interrelated and require integrated planning as well as reasonable and efficient use; (Status1) and Status2''')
 * 6) A comprehensive and accessible database must be developed to provide sound scientific and economic information upon which effective water management decisions can be based; (Status)
 * 7) Water resources management encourages local/regional innovation, implementation, adaptability, and responsibility for watershed and river basin management; (Status3) and (Status4)
 * 8) Sound water resources management involves meaningful participation, coordination, and cooperation among interested and affected stakeholders and citizens, as well as all levels of governmental and other entities managing or utilizing water; (Status5) (Status6)
 * 9) Periodic revisions of the comprehensive statewide water management plan may be required to accommodate new scientific and policy insights as well as changing social, economic, cultural, and environmental factors. (Status7) and (Status8)

Current Statutory, Regulatory, and Water Management Policy Framework

 * The Law Department would be enlisted to provide a description of Georgia’s current water quality and water quantity management statutory framework. A description of Georgia’s water quantity management statutory framework – produced by the Law Department - has already been completed for other purposes, and may require editing for inclusion in a State Water Plan. Additionally advice and guidance should be sought from the governor’s legal counsel.  As the State agency with principal water management regulatory responsibilities, EPD would be assigned the task of describing the current regulatory requirements related to the statutory framework completed by the Law Department. Before completing this section, EPD would seek input from other State government entities having water management responsibilities under Georgia law.  (Status)

Guidance on Water Public Policy Issues

 * If the sub-state strategies for managing water are to meet the goals defined for the Plan, development of these strategies must be guided by clearly articulated guidance – from the State – on a number of critical public policy issues. This section of the Plan would address itself to these critical water public policy issues.  (Status)

Planning Standards

 * This section of the Plan would provide a description of minimum planning standards that would guide the sub-state planning regions in developing sub-state resource management components of the Plan. (Status)

Executive Summary of Sub-State Components of State Water Plan

 * This section of the “State Components” of the Plan would provide an executive summary of each of the sub-state components of the State Plan. Such a summary will not be possible for many of the sub-state components until some time after completion of the “State Components”; however as the State Plan must be a ‘living’ document, these substate executive summaries can/should be added whenever the sub-state plans have been completed.
 * This summary might also generally address itself to an appropriate subset – or all - of the 42 issues the JWSC identified during the conduct of its work. (Status)

Water Quantity Management

 * State Overview
 * Highlights
 * Planning Area Boundary Issues
 * Water Quantity Management Summary by Planning Area
 * Water Quantity Management to Meet Present and Anticipated In-Stream Needs
 * Water Quantity Management to Meet Present and Anticipated Off-Stream Needs
 * Description of Items Requiring Further Attention and Research

Water Quality Management

 * State Overview
 * Highlights
 * Planning Area Boundary Issues
 * Water Quality Management Summary by Planning Area
 * Water Quality Management to Meet Present and Anticipated Federal and State Statutory and Regulatory Mandates (Status)
 * Water Quality Management to Meet State Water Policy Objectives Not Mandated by Statute and/or Rules
 * Description of Items Requiring Further Attention and Research

Information & Data Management

 * Real Time Water Management (Status)
 * Additional Data and Research Needs :(Status)

Implementation

 * Interagency coordination (Status)
 * Enforcement (Status)

SUB-STATE COMPONENTS OF STATE WATER PLAN (for each Region)
Outline for each Regional Plan (The State Water Plan would eventually include several regional water plans that are developed – and integrated – in accordance with guidance developed early in the state water planning process. The configuration of the sub-state regions, while not yet determined, should at a minimum take into consideration both natural and political boundaries.  Some of the expected major topic areas of the sub-state plans are shown below.)

User:Mark K. Jensen

I live in Tacoma, Washington. Photograph available. I was born on August 13, 1951, in Bethesda, Maryland. I am married and have one son. E-mail: jensenmk@plu.edu

My areas of specialization as a faculty member at Pacific Lutheran University, where I have taught since 1989, are 19th-century French literature and French. I have taught 18th-century and 20th-century French literature as well, as well as modern European literature generally. More broadly, I majored in history at Princeton University and am interested in modern European and American history, with additional interests in world history, the philosophy of history, and the history of ideas.

After briefly studying law, I pursued literary interests while working in a San Francisco bookstore and decided to return to graduate school in 1980. I hold a Ph.D. in French literature from the University of California, Berkeley. I find the Wikibook project interesting from every point of view. I had been contributing to Wikipedia for about a year when I became aware of Wikibooks in January 2006.

In recent years I have become politically active in the peace movement at the local level, and am involved in several groups in Pierce County, Washington. This has led me to develop new interests: national security, 20th-century U.S. history, media studies, etc.

I am fluent in French and am an experienced translator from French to English with have a particular interest in translating the work of the French literary historian and critic Paul Bénichou (1908-2001). I have published a translation of Bénichou's Le Sacre de l'écrivain (1973) entitled The Consecration of the Writer, 1750-1830 (U. Nebraska, 1999), and am currently at work on a translation of Le Temps des prophètes (1977).

I maintain a home page. I also am active on the web on the pages of United for Peace of Pierce County and People for Peace, Justice, and Healing.

Biblical Studies/Christianity/Living as a Christian

In the Catholic Church there are titles for those who do and do not participate. A “practicing Catholic” is a catholic who has completed the holy sacraments, attends Catholic Mass (Church) every week including holy days of obligation and attends Confession at least once per year. Those who consider themselves Catholic and do not meet these standards is considered a “Lapsed Catholic.”

In Protestantism; Pastor Rex Humbard once said, the Christian life is like a bicycle, either go on or go off. Thus, after the believer turns to Jesus, there are certain things required:
 * To grow in Christ. (Eph. 4: 15)
 * To grow in grace and knowledge of the things of God (2 Peter 3: 18)
 * To grow as the Word is read. (1 Peter 2: 2)
 * To love one another. (John 13: 35) (1 Cor. 13)
 * To be a witness of Jesus to others (Acts 1: 8)
 * To give to God what is God’s. (Luke 20: 25)
 * To pray always. (1 Thess. 5: 17)
 * To pray in the Holy Spirit. (Jude 20)
 * To receive help from the Holy Spirit when we do not know how to pray. (Rom. 8: 26)
 * To join a body of believers. (Heb. 10: 24,25)
 * With oneness in unity of purpose. (Rom. 12: 5)
 * With oneness, but different ministries. (Eph. 4: 11,12)
 * With oneness in symbols. (Rev. 19: 7)
 * With oneness in testimony. (Rev. 12: 10,11)
 * With oneness as children of God. (Matt. 5: 9)

 * And if the Holy Spirit is in you, He who raised up Christ from the dead will add to your mortal existence such abundant Life as comes with the indwelling of His Spirit. Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are under no obligation to live a life ruled by our baser instincts. For if you follow that path, death is near; but under the powerful sway of the Spirit, when you put those inclinations aside, you will live. For all who are led by the Holy Spirit are children of God. (Romans 8: 11-14 in Modernity)

 * I may not be the man I want to be; I may not be the man I ought to be; I may not be the man I could be; I may not be the man I truly can be; but praise God, I'm not the man I once was.

− Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

God − The Son − The Holy Spirit
