Nice Work
Nice work on the CPR pages. Thanks for pitching in! -- Jim Thomas (aka Jomegat) 14:38, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

THANKS! can you help? please?? Mike.lifeguard 04:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

 * What sort of help do you need? -- Jim Thomas (aka Jomegat) 04:45, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

 * What sort of help don't I need? I guess you have some experience, so I could use your help in making a better way of navigating through the first aid book. I'd really like a shortened version of the table of contents in a box at the top left - like infoboxes in wikipedia. That's be sweet. Is there any way to figure out if anyone else is contributing to this book? Mike.lifeguard 15:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I also don't know how to add/delete/move chapters/sections in the book. Which I'll need to do later. Mike.lifeguard 15:23, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

 * TOC: I haven't messed with custom TOCs or navigation, so I can't help there. But you could ask on the staff lounge (I guess technical chat).  Or if you've seen a book whose navigation you like, edit the page and see how they did it.
 * Other contributors: Just click the "history" tab at the top of a page.
 * Adding chapters: The easiest way to add a chapter is to add a reference to it, like this:
 * First aid/CPR/New Chapter
 * Which should render as a red link. Click the link and add content, and bingo - new chapter.
 * Deleting chapters: deleting can only be done by admins. You can add a delete template like this and an admin will see it:
 * Moving pages: There's a move tab at the top of the page.
 * Hope that helps. -- Jim Thomas (aka Jomegat) 15:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Oh, one other thing. I visited every page of my book - even when each page was still a red link - and added it to my watch list.  That's a pretty good way to see what has changed lately, or if anyone has added a new page. -- Jim Thomas (aka Jomegat) 18:13, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Welcome!
Hello mike.lifeguard, welcome to wikibooks! I've seen your work on the first aid book, and it is looking good. If you have questions, you can always ask me, or you can post them at the staff lounge and other people will be happy to help as well. Don't hesitate to ask! Good luck and happy authoring. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 02:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick reply. I started fooling around with the navigation thingy from Human Physiology... I think It'll work. I'm fine with editing content, but I'll probably be asking for help with more complicated things again. Mike.lifeguard 02:42, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

 * It's okay, nobody is perfect at all the tricks when they first get here. the formatting and HTML and all is enough to make anybody need help. I've been here for almost 2 years and i still have to ask for help every now and again. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 02:44, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I figured out how to move pages, but apparently I can't overwrite pages. And I can't delete them, then move the page. And I'm not about to move them manually. Suggestions? Also, what should be done with the old talk pages? Should they be kept somehow... what's the deal here? Mike.lifeguard 02:51, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Health and Science/First Aid, Basic
Hi Mike,

Thanks for leaving a message on the talk page of our chapter on first aid. The requirements for the AY honors are set by a committee, and I do not have latitude to change them. Not being an expert myself, I took most of the answers from several U.S. Navy Training Manuals. But if you see things in there that are out-of-date, I think it's perfectly OK to note that in the answers. Thanks again for your willingness to help. --Jomegat 00:46, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Re:"Processing Page Text"
Thanks for pointing this out, I explained myself in more detail on the books talk page. If you have any other questions, let me know. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 23:34, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Questioning
Excuse me but something really serious keeps happening over Wikipedia-they label themselves "The Free Encyclopedia", but my partners and I performed editing on articles having very questionable subject and topics and subdivision articles. We used sandboxes intently previously. We really believe Wikipedia has outdated article or section and redesigning should be done, but then when whosoever edits those articles, someome out of nowhere shows up and mentions "Please do not try this way or that"! Worsening things is that when we question Wikipedia the editors keep accusing you of using ad homimens!

Can anybody explain please?

Notes for use
For all of these templates, you'll have to use html markup to insert lists. Wikimarkup won't render properly. I'm trying to get it fixed.

More info on html lists: m:Help:List

Template:FA Regional Note
This is going to be used for bringing attention to region or country-specific info. For example, when we talk about calling EMS, it might be noted that it's 911 in N. America, but ___ elsewhere, and may not be available at all in some areas.

Template:FA Regional Note Left
This is the same as the one above, but aligned left instead.

Template:FA Best Practice
This template will be used to highlight the best way of doing something when there are multiple methods available. For example, using a "log cabin" is probably better than a "doughnut bandage."

Template:FA Best Practice Left
This is the same template as above, but aligned left instead.

Template:FA X
This template will be used as a warning that doing something is dangerous to the victim or is contrary to established standards. For example, reducing a fracture.

Template:FA X Left
This is the same as the previous template, but aligned left instead.

Template:FA Caution
This template will be used to indicate danger to the rescuer. For example, failing to don gloves.

Template:FA Caution Left
This is the same as the previous template, but aligned left instead.

Template:FA Advanced Topics
This template will include boilerplate text letting the reader know that this module/section/chapter deals with techniques requiring advanced training. To call the template, use

Talk:First Aid/Chest & Abdominal Injuries

Flutter Valve
Is this too "complex" for the lay-rescuer? Also, in a flutter valve, only one corner is left open, not a whole side. Mike6271 03:21, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think so - it's the standard treatment in every course I've ever taught. I've never heard of only one corner being left open - it's always a full side. The lowest side (dependent on victim positioning) is left open. What's the rationale for only one corner??  – Mike.lifeguard | talk 03:25, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * In the Brady Emergency Care 8th Edition Text book and the ARC Emergency Response book, they have it taped on all 4 sides with a corner open. I suppose either work...this one just ensures a better seal by having a smaller space open.  Also in the book it says "if patient's condition declines after sealing puncture wound (sucking chest wound), open the seal immediately."  I don't think that a lay-rescuer would be adequately able to assess the patient.  Also, we should include that regular household plastic wrap may fail when used and isn't strong enough.  Also in the book it says "some EMS systems now recommend leaving one entire side unsealed."  Brady 10th edition says do the 4 sides and leave the corner open...but I guess whichever you want works.  They all accomplish pretty much the same thing. Mike6271 04:40, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Abdominal Injuries
"cover the organs with a moist, sterile dressing (not paper products - use gauze) or a ."

There is obviously something missing at the end of the sentence. Also, at the course I attended, they taught us to use a material that won't soak up - something like plastic kitchen foil or plastic bag. Definitely not gauze, for it can stick to organs (especialy small intestine was mentioned as sensitive to damage from sticking). --Šedý (talk) 19:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Abd pads or Telfa are ideal; gauze is ok; paper products are a major no-no. I'm not sure why plastic wrap would be a good idea - although it is impenetrable and nonstick, it can't absorb saline or water to keep the organs moist, which is one of our aims here. Can you explain why plastic wrap would be better than an abd pad/telfa and show me where a major training organization advocates that? — Mike.lifeguard | talk 03:19, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:First Aid/Shock

Semi-Prone vs. Recovery
Why is it the semi-prone position instead of the recovery position? Recovery position is used numerous times throughout the wikibook, so why switch to semi-prone here? Mike6271 03:27, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * a) it fits the acronym
 * b) they're the same thing by different names.
 * If only for the sake of a) I'd suggest changing it everywhere else to semi-prone.  – Mike.lifeguard | talk 03:31, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Why not Shock (Recovery) Position?
 * The 'proper' name for it is semi-sitting, which accurately describes the position. Recovery or Shock position is just a colloquialism. Also, please remember to sign all your posts with four tildes ( ~ )  – Mike.lifeguard | talk 16:41, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't think semi-sitting and recovery position are the same thing at all! As for the terminology, i say stay with recovery position throughout, and just disambiguate at its own page. Owain.davies 17:54, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Further to this, as this about shock, the most important treatment for all patients is the raising of the legs, to return blood to the body's core! I have changed the text to reflect this Owain.davies 18:12, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

What Can Be Done?
It has been requested that this page be expanded, so what can we do to expand shock? --Nugger 16:52, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Recovery Position
The Best Practice section emphasizes to place pregnant victims on their left side. Whereas this should be done for ALL victims being put into the recovery position. (The exception being those victims with bleeding wounds, however these wounds should be stopped of bleeding before a victim is put into the recovery position.)--Nugger 21:04, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

 * It is only pregnant women where the side you incline the victim makes any difference at all, as the foetus may obstruct the inferior vena cava, potentially causing a lack of blood flow (and therefore shock). In any case, most of the time, you don't get an option, as there is usually a logical way to roll them in a confined space! Owain.davies 17:56, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Introduction to Game Theory/Deal Or No Deal

The two versions are talking about different things
The first one is talking about switching cases, the second version is talking about switching to the banker's offer which is a completely different problem.

Switching cases in Deal or no Deal is NOT equivalent to the Monty Hall problem
The real question we want to answer is the following:

"What is the probability you are holding the $1,000,000 case given that you have two cases to choose from and one of them contains $1,000,000?"

Whenever the word given shows up we're likely dealing with conditional probability, which is certainly the case here. The probability that event A will happen given that event B happens is

$$ \frac{\mathrm{Probability}(A (\mathrm{AND}) B)}{\mathrm{Probability}(B)} $$

In this situation, A represents "the event that you are holding the $1,000,000 case", and B represents "the event that there are two cases left, one of which contains the $1,000,000".

Monty Hall

Consider a version of the Monty Hall problem where you have to pick between 26 cases, where one contains $1,000,000 and the others contain lesser amounts. After you pick your case, Monty opens 24 cases which do not contain $1,000,000 and gives you the option to switch cases.

The probability that you are holding the $1,000,000 case is $$\frac{1}{26}$$. Having two cases left, where one of them contains the $1,000,000 dollars always occurs, so the probability is $$1$$. The above formula shows that the probability that you are holding the $1,000,000 case given that you are choosing between two cases where one contains $1,000,000 to be $$\frac{1}{26}$$.

Deal or no Deal

The probability that you are holding the $1,000,000 case is again $$\frac{1}{26}$$, and again if you pick the $1,000,000 case, you will always end up with the million dollar choice. But the probability that you end up with the million dollar choice in general is only $$\frac{2}{26}$$ in deal or no deal. The above formula shows that the probability that you are holding the $1,000,000 case given that you are choosing between two cases where one contains $1,000,000 to be $$\frac{1}{2}$$.

It's clear that there is no advantage to switching in Deal or no Deal, because the odds that you are already holding the $1,000,000 case are 50:50.

Problems with Version 2
Version 2 is wrong. I propose changing it to something like this:

It is sometimes argued that, "The former seems to ignore the fact that, assuming that at a given point in the game, there are multiple low dollar amounts in the left column and one high dollar amount in the right column, the expected value in dollars approximates one-half of the right column's dollar amount instead of the unchecked briefcases' average, which is because at the start of the game, it is equally likely that a briefcase from the left or right side (below or above the median) is picked by the contestant - a fact which does not change throughout the game. This constitutes a variant of the Monty Hall Problem, in which it is better to switch to the banker's offer that overestimates the potential of the chosen briefcase, if there are many dollar amounts on the right side of the screen and only few on the left."

However this is incorrect for a number of reasons:
 * 1) Monty Hall only works because the host knows which door has a car behind it, and so can deliberately avoid it. In Deal Or No Deal, cases are opened at random.
 * 2) The chance of a case being above or below the median does change as brief cases are opened. The opening of these cases adds extra information, which needs to be factored in, by application of Bayes' Theorem; in which P(A) is the chance of a high money case, and P(B) is the chance of several low money cases being opened at the start.
 * 3) Consider the situation when there are 10 unopened cases, one for a high dollar amount and nine for a low dollar amount. The argument runs that the contestant's case had a 50/50 chance of being a high dollar amount at the start, and so it still has a 50/50 chance of being high. The problem is that this same logic can be applied to all other unopened cases. Since it is impossible for all ten unopened cases to have a 50/50 chance of having a high dollar amount, we can see that the reasoning is wrong.

Peter Ballard 12:23, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Peter I agree completely. As you say the critical point of the Monty Hall problem is the host's knowledge. I was tempted to say remove this section completely. But given that there is a lot of misunderstanding on this subject, then I like your version. I say put your version in. --AdRiley 14:50, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks. I'm not sure I've expressed point 2 in a way which is completely accurate (I have studied probability, but it was a long time ago), so perhaps someone can improve it. But for me point 3 is what made me sure I was right. Peter Ballard 23:52, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

 * After trying to explain the logic behind Version 2 to my family last night, I've come to the conclusion that the logic is so flawed that it doesn't deserve the dignity of a mention; all that is required is to make the correct reasoning (i.e. the old version 1) a little clearer. Peter Ballard 00:13, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes I have just re-read the old version 1 and it isn't clear. I don't like the bit about fixing the chance of the top prize being 1, it isn't necessary.  In fact Deal or no Deal works as you would logically expect, it is Monty Hall that is the more complex to understand and it all comes down to the hosts knowledge of where the prize is.  --AdRiley 12:59, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

This does not appear to be an article about Game Theory.
Game theory is a well-established branch of theoretical statistics, which has existed for many decades. I see very little of Game theory in this.

This article appears to be more about Psychology and how experience influences behaviour in areas of uncertainty. Rolo Tamasi (talk)

Claim that Banker wants to "minimize expected winnings per hour play"
From the article:

 * The expected value [the banker] seeks to minimize is not on a per game basis, as is the case for the contestant, but on a per hour of play basis. A strategy that would cause an average contestant to play for an hour and win $100,000, is more advantageous to the banker than a strategy that would cause an average contestant to play for only a quarter hour and win $50,000.

This appears to misunderstand how television works. The episodes are edited down to fit into the broadcast time. A contestant could play for three hours and NBC could still edit the game into a 20 minute segment.

Another part where the article demonstrates a clear lack of understanding how television works:

 * [...] if contestants always chose this strategy, the game would be boring as it would consist of contestants always declining offers and continuing to open cases until the end (or until the banker's offer exceeds expected value).

Actually MANY, MANY episodes follow exactly this pattern, with each offer falling below the expected value and contestants turning down each and every offer to the end (and usually sticking with their case). If anything, the audience seems to be much more excited to watch a contestant who's willing to "go all the way". Indeed, almost by definition the "most exciting" outcome is that the contestant wins $1,000,000, which requires (unless the banker has a temporary loss of sanity, I suppose) they "go all the way", turning down every offer. This is basically how all gambling-type shows work: human beings find it MORE exciting to keep pressing your luck than to make rational calculations and back out at a reasonable time.

It's still possible to understand the very low offers at the beginning of the game from the perspective that the banker doesn't want a very fast turnover, because the show won't get enough footage. However that definitely doesn't explain why the fraction-of-expected-value given by each offer goes up round by round at a fairly linear rate from about 0.1 to just under 1 (sometimes slightly over) over the course of the 26 rounds.

Logic for Computer Scientists/Modal Logic/Modal Logic Tableaux

Modal Logic Tableaux
In classical propositional logics we introduced a tableau calculus (Definition) for a logic $$L$$  as  a finitely branching tree whose nodes are  formulas from $$L$$. Given a set $$\Phi$$ of formulae from $$L$$, a tableau for $$\Phi$$ was constructed by a (possibly infinite) sequence of applications of a tableau rule schema:

$$ \rho \frac{\psi}{D_1 \mid D_2 \mid \cdots \mid D_n} $$

where the premise $$\psi$$ as well as the denominators $$D_1, \cdots ,D_n$$ are sets of formulae; $$\rho$$ is the name of the rule. We introduce $$K$$-tableau with the help of the following rules:

$$(\land) \frac{X; P\land Q} {X; P; Q} $$          $$ (\lor) \frac{X; \lnot(P\land Q)} {X; \lnot P; \mid X; \lnot Q}$$

$$(\bot) \frac{X;P; \lnot P}{\bot}$$                 $$(\lnot)  \frac{X; \lnot\lnot P} {X; P}$$

$$(\theta) \frac{X; Y}{X}$$ $$(K) \frac{\square X; \lnot \square P} {X;\lnot P}$$

A tableau for a set $$X$$ of formulae is a finite tree with root $$X$$ whose nodes carry finite formulae sets. The rules for extending a tableau are given by: A branch is called closed if its end node is carrying $${\bot}$$, otherwise it is open.
 * choose a leaf node $$n$$ with label $$Y$$, where $$n$$ is not an end node, and choose a rule $$\rho$$, which is applicable to $$n$$;
 * if $$\rho $$ has $$k$$ denominators then create $$k$$ successor nodes for $$n$$, with successor $$i$$ carrying an appropriate instance of denominator  $$D_i$$;
 * if a successor $$s$$ carries a set $$Z$$ and $$Z$$ has already appeared on  the branch from the root to $$s$$ then $$s$$ is an end node.

As in the classical case, a formulae $$A$$ is a theorem in modal logic $$K$$, iff there is a closed $$K$$-tableau for the set $$\lnot A$$.

As an example take the formula $$\square (p \to q) \to (\square p \to \square q)$$: its negation is certainly unsatisfiable, because the formula is an instance of our previously given $$K$$-axiom.

Some remarks are in order: $$(K\theta) \frac{Y; \square X; \lnot  \square P} {X;\lnot  P} $$ $$(T)\frac{ X; \lnot  \square P} {X; \square P; P}$$ which obviously reflects reflexivity of the reachability relation, or $$(K4) \frac{ \square X; \lnot   \square P} {X; \square X; \lnot P}$$ reflecting  transitivity.
 * The $$\theta$$- rule, called the thinning rule, is necessary in order to construct the premisses for the application of the $$K$$-rule.
 * Both can be combined by a new rule
 * In order to get tableau calculi for the other mentioned calculi, like $$T$$ or $$K4$$ one has to introduce additional rules:

Circuit Idea/Op-amp Inverting Current-to-Voltage Converter Visualized

<<< contents - basic story - page stage >>>

How to Present the Op-amp I-to-V Converter in a More Attractive Manner

(Intended for Enthusiastic Electronics Teachers Who Want Students to Really Understand Circuits)

Circuit idea: The op-amp eliminates the resistance by adding as much voltage to the input voltage source as it loses across the resistor.

The initial circuit arrangement
Imagine that we have to solve a well-known problem - to measure a current IIN that flows if we short a real voltage source having an internal voltage VIN and a resistance Ri. For this purpose, in the basic story about the op-amp inverting current-to voltage converter, we have broken the circuit and connected a measuring resistor R to obtain an output voltage VOUT = VR. Only, the voltage drop VR across the resistor R was affecting the input current. So, we have compensated the "disturbing" voltage VR by an "anti-voltage" VH (we have "helped" the input voltage source by another voltage source) and used it as an output voltage (see Fig. 2 below).

In this way, we have managed to know how to convert this imperfect passive circuit into an almost ideal op-amp one. Then we were interesting mainly in the circuit structure rather than the circuit operation; that is why we have built the circuit step-by-step following the basic "helping" idea. That would be enough for us, if we were students, hobbysts and technicians who intend just to use this circuit for personal purposes.

Visualizing the active current-to-voltage converter
Only, this is not sufficient, if we are teachers who want to present the circuit operation so that their students to really understand it. In this case we have to get these young people interested in the circuit operation; we have to show them in a more attractive way how the active elements (a man and an op-amp) implement the "helping" idea. For this purpose, we may use here a set of favorite heuristic visualizing tools: voltage bars, voltage diagrams, current loops and superimposed IV curves.

Let's first look at Fig. 2. Do you note that the voltages and voltage drops across the components BIN and Ri are positive while the voltages across the components R, BH and L are negative?

Then, we may rearrange them in a more suitable form, in order to superimpose the visualizing elements over the circuit diagram (see Fig. 3a below). For this purpose, let's first draw a light red line across the middle of the sheet dividing the plotting area into two parts: a positive upper area and a negative lower area. Then, let's place the elements with positive voltages across them (the excitation voltage source VIN and the internal resistance Ri) in the upper part and the elements with negative voltages across them (the helping voltage source VH, the resistor R and the load L) in the lower part. A tip: think of the red line as a "sea level"; all "positive things" are located "above the sea level" while all "negative things" are "under the sea level". Let's now begin experimenting.

... by voltage bars and current loops
If you apply a positive input voltage VIN (Fig. 3a), a current begins flowing through the circuit in a direction VIN >>> Ri >>> R >>> VH. Figuratively speaking, you make the input source "pull" the point A up toward the positive voltage VIN (you, the input source and the resistance Ri "emerge from the sea":). Only, I observe to my great displeasure that the needle deflects to the right and immediately react by decreasing the compensating voltage VH. Now, I make it "pull" the point A down toward the negative voltage -VH (I, the "helping" source, the resistor R and the load "sink into the see":) until it manages to zero the potential VA (the virtual ground). Note how clear it is in this arrangement that the two voltage sources are connected in series, in one and the same direction (- VIN +, - VH +) so that their voltages are added. Actually, they constitute a new compound voltage source, which serves as a "helped" source producing a corrected input voltage.

... by superimposed IV curves
On the graphical presentation (Fig. 3b), when the IV curve of the input voltage source moves horizontally from left to right, the IV curve of the "helping" voltage source moves horizontally from right to left and v.v. As a result, the operating point A slides along a new vertical IV curve, which represents the zero dynamic resistance Rd of the virtual ground.

... by voltage bars and current loops
If you apply a negative input voltage VIN under the ground, a current begins flowing through the circuit in an opposite direction: VIN >>> VH >>> R >>> Ri. Now, you make the input source "pull" the point A down toward the negative voltage -VIN (you, the input source and the resistance Ri "sink into the see":). Only, I observe that the needle deflects to the left and immediately react by increasing the compensating voltage VH. Now, I make it "pull" the point A up toward the positive voltage VH (I, the "helping" source, the resistor R and the load "emerge from the sea") until it manages to zero again the potential VA (the virtual ground). The two voltage sources are connected in series again, in one and the same direction so that their voltages are added. Actually, they constitute again a new compound voltage source, which serves as a "helped" source producing a corrected input voltage.

... by superimposed IV curves
On the graphical presentation (Fig. 4b), when the IV curve of the input voltage source moves horizontally from left to right, the IV curve of the "helping" voltage source moves horizontally from right to left and v.v. As a result, the operating point A slides along a new vertical IV curve, which represents the zero dynamic resistance Rd of the virtual ground.

Visualizing the op-amp inverting current-to-voltage converter
Finally, we decide to make an op-amp do this boring work. For this purpose, we connect the op-amp's output in the place of the "helping" voltage source and the op-amp's input to point A so that the op-amp to "help" the input source. Let's now see how the op-amp does this magic.

Exploring the circuit at positive input voltage
If the input voltage VIN increases, an input current IIN begins flowing through the circuit (Fig. 5a). As a result, a voltage drop VR appears across the resistor and the point A begins rising its potential VA (the input source "pulls" the point A up toward the positive voltage VIN). Only, the op-amp "observes" that to its great displeasure:( and immediately reacts: it decreases its output voltage "sucking" the current IIN until it manages to zero the potential VA. Figuratively speaking, the op-amp "sinks into the see"; it "pulls" the point A down toward the negative voltage -V to establish a virtual ground. It does this magic by connecting a part of the voltage produced by the negative power supply -V in series with the input voltage VIN. The two voltage sources are connected in series, in one and the same direction (- VIN +, - VH +) so that their voltages are added.

Exploring the circuit at negative input voltage
If the input voltage VIN decreases under the ground, an input current IIN begins flowing through the circuit in an opposite direction (Fig. 5b). As a result, a voltage drop VR appears across the resistor R and the point A begins dropping its potential VA (now, the input source "pulls" the point A down toward the negative voltage -VIN). Only, the op-amp "observes"' that and immediately reacts: it increases its output voltage "pushing out" the current IIN until it manages to zero the potential VA (now, the op-amp "emerges from the see" and "pulls" the point A up toward the positive voltage +V, in order to establish a virtual ground). It does this magic by connecting a part of the voltage produced by the positive power supply +V in series with the input voltage VIN. The two voltage sources are connected in series again, in one and the same direction so that their voltages are added.

Re: Whether Dudley will exhibit magical tendencies in Deathly Hallows
The quote referred to was made by Jo in March of 1999, before the publication of Prisoner of Azkaban. Here it is in it's entirety:

"In my books, magic almost always shows itself in a person before age 11; however, there is a character who does manage in desperate circumstances to do magic quite late in life, but that is very rare in the world I am writing about." --[]

There is no indication that this quote refers to Dudley, or that the character will appear in Deathly Hallows. I believe that it referred to Merope Gaunt, who was thought a Squib but was able to perform magic in later life to protect herself from her father.

 * I'm sorry, I have to disagree. Granted, both of the Gaunts called Merope a Squib, but she was quite clearly doing magic, albeit weakly, when we first saw her in the hut. The fact that they abused her and denigrated her magical abilities does not imply that she was, in fact, a squib; and if she was, they would have been a lot more surprised when she suddenly started magically defending herself from her father.

 * Because this is rather an out-of-the-way place for this comment, I'll copy it to the discussion page of Chapter 1 of OotP, which is after all what we are discussing. Chazz (talk) 22:34, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 1

Re: Whether Dudley will exhibit magical tendencies in Deathly Hallows
The quote referred to was made by Jo in March of 1999, before the publication of Prisoner of Azkaban. Here it is in its entirety:

"In my books, magic almost always shows itself in a person before age 11; however, there is a character who does manage in desperate circumstances to do magic quite late in life, but that is very rare in the world I am writing about." --[quoted here]

There is no indication that this quote refers to Dudley, or that the character will appear in Deathly Hallows. I believe that it referred to Merope Gaunt, who was thought a Squib but was able to perform magic in later life to protect herself from her father.

 * I'm sorry, I have to disagree. Granted, both of the Gaunts called Merope a Squib, but she was quite clearly doing magic, albeit weakly, when we first saw her in the hut. The fact that they abused her and denigrated her magical abilities does not imply that she was, in fact, a squib; and if she was, they would have been a lot more surprised when she suddenly started magically defending herself from her father. Chazz (talk) 22:35, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Having checked the book, I can confirm at this point that Merope was using magic and therefore was not a squib. Shortly after Ogden entered the hut, Merope dropped a pot; she stooped to pick it up, and Marvolo demanded that she use her wand. She dropped the pot again, and tried to spell the pot back up with her wand; instead it flew away across the floor and broke against the wall. True, the spell she was trying to use failed, but from her appearance she was very flustered, and without formal training it is extremely likely that she just fumbled. (I do not believe that Marvolo would have sent his daughter to Hogwarts, with the likes of Dumbledore there. Dippet might have been headmaster, but Dumbledore would have been teaching Transfiguration at that point.) I must correct myself also on one point: at no time does Merope ever use magic to defend herself from her father. To be precise: at no point does Merope defend herself, or Bob Ogden, from her father or her brother. Chazz (talk) 18:22, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

 * One further item: Rowling later said that the plot line had changed since the 1999 interview, and it was no longer necessary for the character mentioned, to do any magic at all. So that part of things was dropped. Chazz (talk) 19:24, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Dementors
I think there is a very big mistake in this analysis. It's quite clear that Muggles (and Squib) cannot SEE the Dementors but it's never said that they can't FEEL them. In the first chapter of the Half-Blood Prince, the two minister discuss the general depressive feelings that the Muggle population shows and the mist that seems to cover all England. Both phenomenon are told to be linked with dementors. During the two last books, we hear about multiple Dementors attack with some against Muggles. There is no reason at all that Dudley (still being a perfect Muggle) can't be attacked by a dementor.

 * Did we hear of Dementors attacking Muggles? Apart from Dudley, I don't recall any. Chazz (talk) 01:12, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Lupin says, in "Prisoner of Azkaban," that "even Muggles feel (Dementors') presence, though they can't see them." This maks it canon - Dudley wouldn't have seen the Dementors, but felt their presence and was affected by them. Mrs Figg's testimony later in the book is a good approximation of what Dydley would have felt. 92.236.37.167 (discuss) 15:04, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

 * And yet, Mrs. Figg's first words to Harry are "Dementors! In Little Whinging!" Which leads one to wonder how, if she couldn't see them, she was able to perceive them so clearly as to be so concrete about it. Chazz (talk) 18:35, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

But why do you think this happened Shawna1982 (discuss • contribs) 01:28, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

 * The thing is that the plural is no more necessarily marked than the singular is. "Dementors" may just mean "at least one Dementor, I don't know how many". To say "at least two Dementors" with precision, one would have to say "various Dementors", "a couple of Dementors" or the like.--131.159.76.213 (discuss) 16:52, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

 * True, but in this instance not germane. Whether she perceives that there are two, or not, she can still perceive something that she interprets as one or more Dementors, something that is possibly ruled out by Lupin's statement in PoA. The issue is the perception, not the quantity. Chazz (talk) 03:19, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Bump!

Lupin says, verbatim, in Prisoner of Azkaban, "Even Muggles feel their presence, though they can't see them." This is discussed in the Dementor article.

I think there's far too much discussion in this article (and indeed a main focus) on why Dementors affected Dudley, whereas there either shouldn't be any (as it's been explained in canon), or merely as a brief question. It shouldn't really be a bone of contention so much. Pookiyama (discuss • contribs) 23:31, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

 * I certainly can't argue that point. But the problem seems to be that Rowling says that Muggles (and hence, presumably, Squibs) can't see them, and that they can, and so there is contradiction in canon. And for some reason this has caused no end of controversy... would you like to try simplifying things? Chazz (talk) 03:16, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Understood.

 * There's nothing in the text to suggest that Dudley saw the Dementors at all - he just feels their effect (his unsteady comments to Uncle Vernon later suggest that he assumed it was Harry casting a spell at him). JKR later said, as has been mentioned, that Mrs Figg didn't see them either, but testified as though she could in order to protect Harry (and also felt their presence as per her testimony).

 * This can be simplified as "Dudley could feel the effect of the Dementors, and was disabled by this, but was unable - as a Muggle - to see them." It may also be worth adding something like "Mrs Figg also couldn't see the Dementors, but her knowledge of the magical world allowed her to recognise their effects." I'd add this to the text, but it needs more of a re-write than that, and right now I haven't the time... Pookiyama (discuss • contribs) 18:59, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Cracking noise
Shouldn't that "loud, echoing crack" be explained in a little more detail? Especially since this Guide's coverage of the next chapter doesn't mention it at all... -- 188.27.167.164 (discuss) 23:52, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

JK Rowling Links
Links, such as the following, are scattered throughout the articles here. It would be nice if they could all be updated. I assume her comments are still available somewhere?

http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=19

--184.64.102.148 (discuss) 12:04, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately it's not so easy. When Rowling updated her site, all of these items were consigned to the dustbin of history... the only option as far as I know is to use the Internet Archive. I plan to retrieve the original quotes from that source, and make them into embedded footnotes, but while the spirit is willing... the flesh just hasn't gotten around to it yet.

Cello Handbook/Parts of the Cello

The cello is a member of the violin family (violin, viola, cello, bass viol). These four instruments (and other variants; violino piccolo, hardanger, baryton, viola d'amore, the Hutchins Octet, etc.) are topologically similar. Beginning at the top, the major components are as follows: Scroll, pegbox, pegs, nut, fingerboard, neck, body, strings, bridge, tailpiece, saddle, tailgut, endpin, and the soundpost (which is inside the body). Linings and corner blocks are structural parts and can be seen by looking through the "F" holes.

The scroll is more decorative than anything else. Its mass is a factor, but the shape is not. The scroll and neck are traditionally made from quartersawn maple. This is a very stable grain orientation and a yields an attractive grain pattern. Maple is quite strong and reasonably light.

The pegbox and scroll are an integral part of the neck. They have tapered holes to hold the pegs and a hollow area to allow the strings to wind around the pegs.

The pegs allow tensioning the strings. They are precisely tapered to allow adjustment of their friction for easy tuning but minimal slippage. Pegs are traditionally made from ebony, boxwood, or rosewood. Cheaper instruments may use dyed pearwood or other very hard woods. Occasionally, "patent" tuning pegs suchg as Caspari pegs are found and, even less commonly, geared machine tuners.

If the pegs should slip, a light application of chalk or a peg compound will often fix the problem. If they stick, a tiny bit of beeswax may help. Peg compound can be purchased at any violin shop. It is a compressed mixture of wax and some very mild abrasive in a convenient stick. You can do great damage by using a do-it-yourself approach to repairs. Anything serious should be referred to a competent violin shop. A cracked pegbox or damaged pegs are not always easy or cheap to fix.

The strings wrap around the pegs, pass over the nut, fingerboard and bridge, and are attached at the other end to the tailpiece. The height of the nut and bridge are adjusted so that the strings are just barely above the fingerboard at the nut, but the height increases towards the bridge so that the strings are about a quarter inch above the end of the fingerboard. If the string height at the nut is too low, the strings are prone to buzz.

If too high, playability in the lower positions is poor. If the height at the bridge is low, the strings will buzz. If the bridge is high, the instrument will be unplayable in the thumb positions. It is best to have a competent cellist evaluate the setup of your instrument if you are a novice. There are nuances to setting the string height and bridge that many violin shops do not get right.

Violin shops probably deal with violins twenty times more than they deal with cellos. It takes time to setup an instrument properly and an inexpensive student-grade cello will most surely be adjusted badly when it is purchased. It is well worth the expense to have it properly adjusted and a decent set of strings installed. The difference in sound quality and playability that can be achieved even on a cheap instrument is remarkable. It is unfortunately beyond the scope of this article to explain the intimate details.

Strings vary widely in price and quality. The strings supplied with cheap imported instruments cost $5 at most (2007 prices) and are not even fit to use for slicing cheese. Plan on spending closer to $100. Or, $150 and more for an advanced player. They do wear out. Don't expect to buy strings once a decade. Strings range from plain steel to exotic tungsten and titanium alloys.

Whether you should get gut or nylon or Kevlar or steel or carbon fiber or other cores and windings depends on the kind of music, your skill and your instrument. Generally, an instrument for orchestral use will have heavier and stiffer strings. An instrument for chamber music will tend towards nylon and gut with silver. Soloists often opt for the more exotic materials to extract every bit of potential from their instrument. The difference between a $5 and a $50 set is immediately obvious to the player and listener.

Beyond that, the tonal differences to the listener are more subtle but the difference in playability can still be huge. You will need to experiment and find what strings are best suited to your instrument and skill.

The fingerboard is traditionally ebony. Cheaper instruments may have rosewood or dyed pear or some other substitute. Occasionally some odd composite can be found, such as carbon fiber.

The fingerboard is not flat in either direction. It curves from side to side to allow bowing each string individually. There is a slight hollow along the length to give more clearance when playing louder. The C and G strings have a flat area towards the bridge since they vibrate much more than the D and A and would otherwise buzz.

The bridge is special. It looks like maple, but isn't exactly. At least not the same variety that is used for the back and ribs. It is cut in a unique grain direction to yield the distinct spotted pattern found on the best bridges. As you bow the strings, they move from side to side the top of the cello moves forward and back, like a drum.

The bridge and soundpost transform the sideways string motion into a perpendicular motion that allows sound to be radiated. The height, width, thickness, curvature and stiffness of the bridge are all crucial to sound quality and playability.

It will hold the strings in the air, but no more. A properly cut bridge is graceful. A good bridge and strings will make a $50 instrument sound like one worth a thousand. A bad bridge will make the best instrument sound like it has been filled with glue.

Top: finest Italian spruce, cut in January in the dark of the moon from the south side of the tree, aged 200 years and shaped without a piece of sandpaper or a router within miles of it.

Back: Quartered maple.

Tailpiece: ebony.

Saddle: ebony.

Tailgut: Genuine gut, not nylon.

Endpin: Ebony and metal.

Talk:First Aid/Extended Assessment

Keep the Article?
I don't think we should keep this article. Even in an advanced first aid situation, it isn't necessary to check the lymph nodes of a patient or check for clubbing. Cyanosis is good, but could be moved into other articles. Anemia isn't something one would check for either in a first aid (or advanced first aid) situation. Anyways, for jaundice, it is easier to check the "white part" of the eye. I don't think that this is necessary even under advanced first aid as these are things mostly checked for in a hospital or doctor's office. None are life threatening (except for maybe cyanosis.) Mike6271 03:25, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't think we need this module either. All of this is beyond first aid, and is starting to get into first responder or EMT - type skills. They might have a better place in a wikibook aimed at that audience. Even putting them in the advanced topics chapter isn't really satisfactory since they're not first aid at all, not even advanced first aid.
 * Cyanosis should be covered in First Aid/Vitals as part of circulation.
 * Owain.davies left me a message about this: User Talk:Mike.lifeguard. I agree that rescuers should be doing stuff between calling EMS and EMS arriving - but the secondary assessment should fill that time amply. SJA seems to think that it takes 20 minutes to do a thorough secondary - I don't think it takes that long, but it'll probably fill your time until EMS arrives.
 *  – Mike.lifeguard | talk 03:44, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

 * This is really treading into EMT territory with an extended assessment. Remember, FIRST Aid, not Secondary Aid. Not even First Responders are trained in a extended assessment, that skill is left for the EMTs. (We just brought this up at class today.)--Nugger 03:33, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

XForms/Mobile XForms

Advantages to the Developer
Apart from the advantages of XForms already cited elsewhere, XForms brings the following advantages to the sphere of mobile applications:
 * XForms was designed to support multiple modalities. Applications that work on mobile devices are also deployable in other ways too, thus much improving the return on your development investment.
 * XForms does most of its work on the client-side, thus reducing the number and size of server calls. This is still an important consideration for mobile devices, which tend to have to operate on narrow and expensive bandwidth.

Building Mobile Applications
Whilst there is a Basic profile of XForms, the only known, commercial implementation also supports almost the entire XForms/XML Schema feature set.

Xfolite
Xfolite is a light-weight XForms client for the J2ME platform. It was originally created at Nokia Research Center, and it includes a DOM and XPath 1.0 implementation as well as an XForms engine that implements the XForms 1.1 specification almost completely. XML Schemas and CSS are outside project scope, however. Xfolite is licensed under the LGPL license.

PicoForms
PicoForms has an XForms implementation that runs on cell phones supporting MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1.x. It also supports PDAs including Palm and Pocket PCs. PicoForms is also able to provide customers (and evaluators) with an online development space, that allows forms to be tested on a mobile phone/PDA emulator.

Picoforms runs as an plugin to Internet Explorer. The license is around $30 (US) per client (desktop).

To enable your forms to work with Picoforms just add the following line to your code:

UK Pension Industry
This application uses a set of industry standard XML schema (produced by Origo Services) in the UK. XForms lends itself well to building applications over such schema, as the schema can be consumed directly by the application, often without modification.

The Scenario
The Schemas describe the data requirements for a financial adviser requesting information about the value of funds in a customer's personal pension policy. An adviser is likely to want to do this immediately prior to meeting with their client, probably in the client's own home. They want the information to be as up-to-date as possible.

The Application
The following screenshots give an idea of the application running on a mobile phone emulator. The application can be accessed in an emulator here.

To begin with the user must search for the details of the client they are interested in. This simulates communication with the adviser's own back-office system. This can be achieved either by entering a unique reference for the client, or the client's 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.

User talk:Mouse is back

Hello, welcome to Wikibooks!

You will find more resources in Community Portal. If you want to ask a question, visit the Study help desk, the Staff lounge, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page. For site news, see the Bulletin board. It might be a good idea to add this page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there. You can do that by clicking the tab labeled "watch" at the top of the page.

Good luck! -- Herby talk thyme 12:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

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