Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Hotbed cold frame

Hotbed

A hotbed is a pile of decaying organic matter warmer than its surroundings due to the heat given off by the metabolism of the microorganisms in the decomposing pile. Hotbeds are used for composting and keeping delicate plants warm during the winter.

Cold Frame

In agriculture and gardening, a cold frame is a transparent-roofed enclosure, built low to the ground, used to protect plants from cold weather. The transparent top admits sunlight and relies on the greenhouse effect to reflect back radiant heat that would otherwise escape at night. Essentially, a cold frame functions as a miniature greenhouse season extension device.

Cold frames are found in home gardens and in vegetable farming. They create microclimates that provide several degrees of air and soil temperature insulation, and shelter from wind. In cold-winter regions, these characteristics allow plants to be started earlier in the spring, and to survive longer into the fall and winter. They are most often used for growing seedlings that are later transplanted into open ground, and can also be a permanent home to cold-hardy vegetables grown for autumn and winter harvest.

Cold frame construction is a common home or farm building project, although kits and commercial systems are available. A traditional plan makes use of old glass windows: a wooden frame is built, and the window placed on top. The roof is often sloped towards the winter sun to capture more light, and to improve runoff of water, and hinged for easy access. Clear plastic, rigid or sheeting, can be used in place of glass. An electric heating cable, available for this purpose, can be placed in the soil to provide additional heat.

VCE Mathematical Methods/Inverse functions

The Existence of Inverse Functions
A function has an inverse if and only if it is one-to-one: that is, if for each y-value there is only one corresponding x-value. To test whether or not a function is one-to-one, we can draw multiple horizontal lines through the graph of the function. If any of these horizontal lines intersects with the graph of the function more than once, then the function is NOT one-to-one.

For example, take the graph of the function $$ f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}, f(x) = x^2 $$.

We can draw a horizontal line anywhere on the graph (except for the turning point at $$ x = 0 $$) which will intersect with the graph twice. Therefore f is NOT a one-to-one function, and will NOT have an inverse function.

However, consider the function $$ g: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}, g(x) = x^3 $$.

This function IS one-to-one, and will therefore have an inverse function, which we label $$ g^{-1} \, $$.

The rule of an inverse function
The rule of the inverse of a function f can be found by letting $$ y = f(x) $$, swapping the y and x variables, and re-arranging to make y the subject.

For example, consider g. To find the rule of $$ g^{-1}(x) $$, let $$ g(x) = y $$ Now $$ y = x^3 \, $$. Swap the x and y variables to get $$ x = y^3 \,$$. Now take the cube root of each side to get $$ y = \sqrt[3]{x} \, $$. Now let $$ y = g^{-1}(x) $$ and we have:-

$$ g^{-1}(x) = \sqrt[3]{x} $$

The domain and range of inverse functions
Because, in finding inverse functions, we are swapping the x and y values in each ordered pair, it's logical that the domain of a function is the range of the inverse; and the range of a function is the domain of the inverse.

Thus: $$ \mbox{dom}f = \mbox{ran}f^{-1} \mbox{ and ran}f = \mbox{dom}f^{-1} \, $$

VCE Mathematical Methods/Differentiation from First Principles

Formula
Given a function f, the rule of the derivative (sometimes called the "gradient") function is defined as $$f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} \, $$.

Method
Remember that in order to evaluate a limit, we usually substitute the value given into the expression. However, with the above formula, substituting $$ h = 0 $$ will result in a division by zero, which is mathematically impossible. Therefore,in order to make use of this formula, you need to substitute the rules $$ f(x+h) $$ and $$ f(x) $$, then simplify to eliminate the fraction, and only then substitute $$ h = 0 $$. This is called differentiation from first principles.

For example:

Let $$ f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}, f(x) = 2x $$

Let us differentiate f from first principles.

$$ \begin{align} f'(x) & = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} \\ & = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{2(x+h) - 2x}{h} \\ & = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{2x + 2h - 2x}{h} \\ & = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{2h}{h} \\ & = \lim_{h \to 0} 2 \\ & = 2 \\ \end{align} $$. Therefore, we can define the gradient function as $$ f': \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}, f'(x) = 2 $$

Exercises
Question One Differentiate the following functions from first principles. (a) $$ f(x) = 4x $$ (b) $$ f(x) = 7x $$ (c) $$ f(x) = 2x + 1 $$ (d) $$ f(x) = 3x + 3 $$

Question Two Differentiate the following functions from first principles. (a) $$ g(x) = x^2 $$ (b) $$ f(x) = 5x^2 $$ (c) $$ f(x) = 2x^2 + 3 $$ (d) $$ f(x) = (x+3)(x+4) $$

Regarding edits made during October 6 2007

Az1568(Talk) 05:19, 6 October 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 Sora. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sora~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.

Cream of Tartar unneccesary?
I believe cream of tartar (Potassium bitartrate) does the same thing as citrus juice in this recipe. I would only use it if I had only lemon flavoring or lemon zest and not enough juice. Likewise, lime juice can be substituted. Here is the article on Cream of Tartar in the Cookbook: " Cream of tartar is an acid produced during winemaking. Citric acid is a good substitute.

Uses

 * Mix with baking soda to make single-acting baking powder.
 * Add to fruit-flavored frosting to make the frosting more sour.
 * Mix with lemon extract or zest to make a lemon juice substitute.
 * Use a 1/4 tsp. when beating egg whites to a stiff peak by hand with a wooden spoon (for 4 egg whites).

Applied History of Psychology

Welcome to our Applied History of Psychology Wikibook. This project was the result of a graduate course in History and Systems in Psychology, HDP 3204 intersession class 2007 at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto (OISE/UT). This book represents a history of psychology—not the only one and certainly not a complete one, but definitely an interesting one and one that represents the varied interests of the students in this particular class. We hope you enjoy it and find it useful.

The initial structure of this book emerged out of our individual interests, prior knowledge, and research contributions to this course. We first briefly acknowledge early thinkers that influenced the development of the discipline of psychology (Part I). Then, we address the history of various areas of inquiry that are highly relevant to our work. These broad areas include developmental theories (Part II), the field of intelligence and assessment (Part III), as well as the various approaches to understanding and treating psychological difficulties (IV). Finally, we also created a special topic section to provide space for particular topics that can "stand on their own." (Part V).

We welcome your comments, additions, and contributions. We invite you to consult our Introduction for more information.

/Introduction/
Provides a brief overview and introduction to our Wikibook, including our guiding question.

Part I: Early Contributions to the Field of Psychology
This section starts from approximately 600 BC and takes us through to the development of Psychology as a Science. Some thinkers discussed include Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, Gall, Mesmer, and Wundt.
 * 1) /Philosophical Roots of Psychology/ Reviews some of the thinking put forth by Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Hobbes, and Locke.
 * 2) /Pseudoscientific Schools of Thought/ Reviews some of the theories and practices of Franz Anton Mesmer and includes brief mention of Franz Joseph Gall.
 * 3) /Establishment of the Field/ Contains a very brief history of Wilhem Maximilian Wundt, including some of his ideas and methods.

Part II: Models of Development

 * 1) /Conceptualization of childhood/ Reviews models of human development and how the concept of "childhood" has changed throughout history.
 * 2) /Attachment/ Reviews the development of attachment theory, from the early work of Lorenz and Harlow, continuing to the work of Bowbly and Ainsworth.
 * 3) /Personality/ Reviews Freud’s well-known Psychosexual Theory of Development.  Karen Horney’s contributions to the field of personality development and her criticisms of Freud are presented as an alternative.
 * 4) /Cognitive Development/ Reviews the Piagetian Model of Children's Thinking and its criticisms.  Lev Vygotsky’s theory of Sociocultural Development is presented as an alternative to Jean Piaget’s work.
 * 5) /Social Development/ Reviews Erickson's life span development stage theory as well as contributions to and criticisms of his theory.
 * 6) /Moral Development/ Reviews Kohlberg and Gilligan's theories of moral development in children.
 * 7) /Controversies/ Discusses some of developmental psychology's longstanding questions and controversies, such as the issue of ‘active’ or ‘passive’ development, continuity of human development versus development in stages, and the nature/nurture debate.

Part III: Models of Learning, Intelligence and Assessment

 * 1) /Learning Theories/ Reviews the development of Learning Theory from Watson to Pavlov's classical conditioning, Skinner's operant conditioning, and finally, Bandura's Social Learning Theory.
 * 2) /Theories on Intelligence/ Reviews Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory, Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Human Intelligence, Spearman's work, emotional intelligence, dynamic assessment and cross-battery assessment.
 * 3) /Models of Assessment/ Briefly reviews the history of psychological testing, provides a timeline of early milestones in the history of testing,  and discusses heredity, historiometry, and eugenics, as well as intelligence testing, personality testing, and interest inventories.

Part IV: "Mental Disorders": Identification, Treatment and Controversies

 * 1) /DSM and Other Diagnostic Systems/ Reviews a brief history and introduction to the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual for Psychiatric Disorders (DSM), the utility of the DSM, validity and reliability issues, stigma and damage of labelling, critical issues and other diagnostic systems.
 * 2) /Clinical Treatment/ Reviews several types of psychotherapy including Psychodynamic Therapy, Client Centred Therapy, Cognitive and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, Group Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Mindfulness Based Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. Treatment Effectiveness and Psychopharmacology are also touched upon.
 * 3) /Specific Disorders/ Introduces perspectives on psychological trauma and reviews the history, treatment, and assessment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

Part V: Special Topics

 * 1) /History of Research on Attention/ Reviews the history of research on attention and human information processing, focusing on major contributors in this area including John Ridley Stroop, Donald Broadbent, and Anne Treisman.

Ethnomedicine/Introduction

Ethnomedicine is a sub-field of medical anthropology and deals with the study of traditional medicines; Focus is not only those that have relevant written sources (e.g. Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda), but especially those, whose knowledge and practices have been orally transmitted over the centuries.

In the scientific arena, ethnomedical studies are generally characterized by a strong anthropological approach, more than a bio-medical one. The focus of these studies is then the perception and context of use of traditional medicines and not their bio-evaluation.

Template:Infobox disease/doc

Use this template freely for any medical condition that has an ICD code, OMIM entry, MeshID, GeneReviews ID, or other source that you think readers will benefit from seeing. Its use is not limited strictly to diseases.

Usage
The template does not at the current time include summary information about the condition itself. Instead, it contains a consistent interface to other sources that provide information about the condition. Don't worry about trying to fill in all the fields -- even if you can only get one or two, that still can be useful.

While editing a condition, copy and paste the following text at the top of the page: (If you prefer, you can include the pipes at the beginning of the line instead.)

The best place to start is often the Diseases Database searching at DiseasesDB. Click on that link, and type in the name of the condition (for example, "Earache".) Click on the result you were looking for. At this point, you will see on your URL line something like "http://www.diseasesdatabase.com/ddb18027.htm". You can copy the number (in this case, "18027" onto the "DiseasesDB" line in the template, so it looks like this | DiseasesDB     = 18027

You will see a label that reads "Code translations and terms via UMLS.". Click on this link. The goal is to find the ICD9 and ICD10 codes. In this case, you can see "388.7" next to "ICD-9-CM, 2006" and "H92.0" next to "German translation of ICD10, 1995". Fill in these two fields: | ICD10         = H92.0 | ICD9          =

You may find multiple codes listed. In this case, just fill them out as follows: | ICD10         = A11, B22 | ICD9          = ,

In some cases, only one of the codes would apply to the current condition, but you may not always be able to determine which is which. Be bold, and do your best.

You will notice that there are direct links provided for the ICD9 codes, but not for ICD10. Don't worry about providing direct links for ICD10 codes unless you are feeling very ambitious. Some of the technical issues involved are discussed at Template:ICD10. However, the easiest way to put in a direct link is to go to List of ICD-10 codes and copy an example from there.

For the brave, the ICD10 template takes 5 parameters:
 * Group - The upper-case Group letter to be displayed in Wikipedia
 * Major - Major group number (2 digits)
 * minor - Minor group number (optional)
 * LinkGroup - lower-case repeat of the Group letter to be presented to the WHO's website
 * LinkMajor - The major coding at the top of webpage in which the target code exists (may or may not be the same as the Major code !)

In most cases you can skip over the "ICD-O" field, because that only applies to conditions that cause tumors. DiseasesDB doesn't provide these codes, but there are some resources listed for finding them at ICD-O.

The final three fields are for OMIM, MedlinePlus, and eMedicine. It's perfectly fine to leave these blank, but if you want to fill them out, you can sometimes find the pages by clicking on "specific web sites" in DiseaseDatabase. Alternatively use the following links to directly search OMIM, MedlinePlus and eMedicine.

Don't enter the full URL as this template's parameters, just the number at the end.

For eMedicine, two methods are acceptable as the website has restructured itself, but internally will redirect as required.

The old style, and hence the current parameter name usage, has two fields - put the number at the end into "eMedicineTopic", and put the alphabetic code (such as "neuro" or "orthoped") that precedes it into "eMedicineSubj".

The current eMedicine site now uses a fixed 'article' space with an 'article number', and hence please use: | eMedicineSubj = article   (this being a fixed literal text) | eMedicineTopic = 806890   (this being the variable article number)

It's a little trickier to fill out the infobox if you can't find it listed in DiseaseDatabase. However, you can look up the codes individually if you would like. A good source for ICD9 codes is here, and a good source for ICD10 codes is here. Many more sources for ICD codes are listed at International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. You can look up OMIM codes here.

You can use the "Image", "Alt" and "Caption" to provide an illustration. These fields are optional, but it is helpful to provide an image if you can find one. The Alt field specifies alt text, for readers who cannot see the image; see WP:ALT. Of course most images on the internet are copyrighted, but you may be able to find an image already in Wikipedia on a related page. There are over a thousand free images of anatomical structures available at List of images and subjects in Gray's Anatomy. You could use one of these directly, or if you were feeling ambitious you could load one into a paint program on your computer, and annotate it with a couple of arrows to illustrate the point. Or just open PowerPoint and spend a few minutes drawing a few circles. It doesn't have to be very fancy to be an improvement on having no image at all. But if you do create a new image, remember to upload it at Wikimedia, not at Wikibooks, so that it is easier to share images across languages.

There is also an optional "Width" parameter you can add for the image. If your picture is far too big, then add a new line and specify a custom width like this:

| Image         = mypicture.png | Alt           = A man's neck and shoulders, covered with giant green spots. | Caption       = The picture above illustrates a severe case of this condition. | Width         = 325

When no Width parameter is specified, it defaults to a width of 190.

Sometimes you will find a condition with more than one entry for OMIM, eMedicine, MedlinePlus, or DiseaseDatabase. There are optional "_mult" fields that allow additional parameters to be passed in.

The templates that may be used to provide the necessary links for these "_mult" fields, without specifying the source's name, are: | DiseasesDB_mult= | OMIM_mult     = | MedlinePlus_mult= | eMedicine_mult =  (new usage would set field as the literal text 'article')

An example of how this is used at Nemaline myopathy is provided below.

If there are too many eMedicine articles to list with eMedicine_mult, then one may directly show eMedicine's search list of topics. Set eMedicineSubj = search and eMedicineTopic to the term to be searched for. Note that any spaces in the search term must be replaced with the asci code of  %20 . Hence:

Don't worry about getting all the fields -- just do your best, and if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to ask at Template talk:Infobox disease.

MeSH
The Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), formerly known as the Supplement to Index medicus, is a controlled vocabulary managed by the National Library of Medicine. To find the MeSH code for a disease, go to the MeSH search page and enter the term into the search box. The needed MeSH number is the Unique ID in the MeSH Descriptor Page.

GeneReviews
GeneReviews is an online collection of peer-reviewed articles that describe specific gene-releated diseases. To use it, go to its search page and find the page's ID and title. For example, its autism overview has the URL  and title "Autism overview", so it can be coded as follows:

What is a string?
Strings are pieces of unformatted text, and may contain html to format the appearance for the viewer. (You are the viewer of this page, and this text you are reading is made up of strings) They have many uses, from storing the value of an input field in a variable to specifying the content of a pop-up.

String variables
Strings are common in variables. When a variable has a string(s) in its value, the string(s) are enclosed within quotation marks.

Example: var string = "This is a string"; document.write(string); Displays: This is a string

Sometimes, however, a variable contains other variables along with strings. In this case, the variables are outside the string closing/opening quotations, with a plus (+) sign on either side. Example: var othervar = "variable"; var string  = "This is a " + othervar + " within another " + othervar + " as a string"; document.write(string); Result: This is a variable within another variable as a string

In the case of html-content string variables, sometimes the "+=" assignment is used. What this does in the case of strings is adds to what is already in the variable. Example: var string; string = ""; string += "This "; string += "is "; string += "a "; string += "string "; string += "using "; string += "the "; string += "\"+=\" "; string += "assignment."; document.write(string); Returns This is a string using the "+=" assignment

User:ArchiveBot (usurped)~enwikibooks

My purpose
I'm responsible for automatically archiving specially marked talk pages on various Wikimedia projects. I run everyday at 5 am and at 2 pm (UTC) analyzing pages marked for automatic archiving and moving sections to archives as specified.

Mistakes
If you find mistakes with the way I work, please contact my owner on his talk page.

Technical details
My code is based on a derivative of the DotNetWikiBot framework, a bot support library for the .NET framework. The source isn't published yet, mostly due to cleanup and documentation outstanding. I run on an AMD Sempron 2600+ (1.6 GHz) with 2 GB RAM.

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 ArchiveBot (usurped). To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name ArchiveBot (usurped)~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:57, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Wikijunior talk:Languages/English

Song or poem
I notice they don't have a simple song section in this version. If this book is translated into another language, it would be useful.

How about we add something like:  Twinkle, twinkle little star How I wonder what you are up above the world so high like a diamond in the sky Twinkle, twinkle little star How I wonder what you are

I'll add it. Rozzychan 23:07, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

New Zealand History/Great Depression

‹ Back to New Zealand's Involvement in World War I

New Zealand in the Great Depression
As in many other countries, New Zealand National income fell by 40 per cent in three years. Exports were greatly affected, falling by 45 per cent in just two years.

The value of wool declined by 60 per cent from 1929 to 1932, but the value of meat wasn't so badly affected. Dairy farmers increased production of butter and cheese to try and meet the increasing problems, but failed in doing so.

In 1935, the Labour Party became the new government, seeking to promote economic stability. In this, they achieved much, developing social services, state housing, bringing wages back up, and restoring New Zealand to a sense of normality. Forward to New Zealand in World War II ›

Writing Adolescent Fiction

Welcome to the textbook on writing adolescent fiction. Adolescent fiction is a personal, identifiable and casual genre. When they have entered their teen years, many boys and girls alike try their hands at writing it. Sometimes they will decide a few years later that they have written utter garbage and throw their stories into the trash (or the Recycle Bin on their computers). Some end up writing best-selling adolescent novels as adults.

Whether you are interested in writing novels that will be read by millions or just writing stories you want to share with a few friends, this textbook is for you.

Much of this advice will be specific to the genre of adolescent fiction, although some parts of it are useful to writers anywhere.

Thanks!
Hi, just a thanks for the message you wrote me back in March, which I didn't see until today. I see also that you haven't edited since October so you might not see this for quite some time either. I've since decided to throw the majority of my support toward the language called Occidental, and am thinking about making a textbook for that (some others exist, but one in my own style) so I might use the images then. Ta! Mithridates (talk) 11:47, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

More comprehensive (or complete) lists of surnames?
Hello. I am very interested in creating fictional characters with genuine-sounding names, and the surnames I am focusing on are especially of English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, and Russian origin.

What if I find that the lists of surnames per national origin found here are not enough for me to use? Do you know of any complete lists of surnames for each particular national origin, particularly the ones I mentioned, that are easily accessible online?

From my earlier research, regarding Russian surnames, I was able to come up with this site (this page has a list of surnames beginning with the letter "A", and has obvious links to surnames beginning with other letters found at the top of the page). I'm also curious to find out if that website in particular is reliable for finding Russian surnames.

Any websites you are able to provide that have complete lists of surnames that could be shown in alphabetical order will be very much appreciated. I hope I am not asking too much of you, and I wish you well. Classicalfan626 (discuss • contribs) 19:55, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Welcome to Wikibooks, here are some resources you might want to use:

 * Kate Monk had a site called the Onomastikon. It can be found today here:

 * http://tekeli.li/onomastikon/

 * The website forebears.io covers more than half the people in the world. It has frequency statistics for just about any surname, and you can find the top 200 surnames from any given country. An example would be this page:

 * http://forebears.io/russia

 * The U.S. Census Bureau has put out a list of surnames in the U.S. from the year 2000. It breaks it down by race (White, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Native American/Alaska Native, Hispanic, or multiracial):

 * https://www.census.gov/topics/population/genealogy.html

 * And here's the biggest book I know on first names and surnames from around the world. You can find it at Amazon:

 * People's Names: A Cross-Cultural Reference Guide to the Proper Use of Over 40000 Personal and Familial Names in Over 100 Cultures by Holly Ingraham

 * You can find it on Amazon, but Wikibooks won't let me link to an Amazon page.

 * Hope this helps! Cilantrohead (discuss • contribs) 00:05, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Hello, and thank you for your reply over at my talk page! Your feedback is welcome and very much appreciated. And, just for further reference, your talk page is on my watchlist, so I'll be able to notice once a reply is made here.

 * Anyway, regarding your reply over here, also seen at my talk page, I think you misunderstood the purpose of my initial posting. What I'm looking for are, if possible, complete lists of surnames, particularly of English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, and Russian origin. You see, I'm not looking exclusively for the most common surnames, but for all that have ever been recorded.

 * Perhaps it will help if I gave you a couple of examples. For instance, my mom's maiden name is Zanfordino, which is derived from the Italian surname Zanfardino, which is nowhere to be found in the Italian list of character names here at Wikibooks. Likewise, the surname Albinoni, also Italian, as in the fairly famous composer Tomaso, is not listed either. That being said, there are likely more surnames out there in each of the national origins I provided that aren't necessarily the commonplace, or that I haven't even heard of.

 * I want at least some of my characters to be more unique (and realistic), rather than rely on surnames that are the most common, or having to resort to making up surnames which can't possibly exist in the real world!

 * Good luck and best wishes. Classicalfan626 (discuss • contribs) 00:55, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

 * You're welcome.

 * I'm not sure if a complete listing of names by ethnicity exists. The name lists at Wikibooks, however, contain many names that are not very common.

 * If you want every surname, your best bet is probably the forebears.io site. You can look up a name, and see how many people with that name currently exist in each country. An example would be the Russian name Zychik:

 * http://forebears.io/surnames/zychik

 * Forebears.io can help you if you want to find out the national origin of a surname you've already encountered, but I don't know what to do if you want to find every surname that's ever been borne by someone in a national/ethnic group. Cilantrohead (discuss • contribs) 01:46, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Edit: This is my count of the number of surnames in each of Wikibooks' name lists:
 * English: 5,601 surnames
 * German: 5,343 surnames
 * French: 2,383 surnames
 * Spanish: 5,091 surnames
 * Italian: 5,041 surnames
 * Russian: 461 surnames

 * So we definitely go beyond the common surnames. Cilantrohead (discuss • contribs) 02:11, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Thanks. Wow, I was not quite aware that it was that difficult to find a complete listing of surnames per ethnicity/national origin anywhere. My only remaining concern is this: why is the Wikibooks list of Russian surnames so short compared to its lists of English, French, Spanish, Italian, and German surnames? Classicalfan626 (discuss • contribs) 16:25, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Probably for this reasonː I compiled these lists largely by looking at the U.S. Census Bureau lists and checking the ethnicity of each name. Not many Americans have Russian surnames compared with English, German, French, Spanish or Italian surnames. (I remember reading once that 90% of America's immigrants from Russia were Jews, who generally had Jewish surnames, and the rest were mostly Ukrainian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Armenian, German-Russian, Carpatho-Rusyn, etc.) I was also helped by a large Hispanic surname list (it may have been the Passel-Word or Word-Passel List?) I found online and an Italian genealogy site with tens of thousands of families. You're free to add names to the Russian list to make it beefier, but I can't think of any good sites for new Russian surnames at the moment. Cilantrohead (discuss • contribs) 02:04, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Oh, OK. I still think this site will be able to help in regards to Russian surnames: http://www.vgd.ru/ENGLISH/a.htm. Classicalfan626 (discuss • contribs) 12:37, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Do you think you would find that All Russia Family Tree site, which I provided a couple of times above, helpful? Classicalfan626 (discuss • contribs) 22:04, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I checked the All Russia Family Tree site out more closely, and it looks as if it could get us some more A and B names on the list (although then we'd have to find other Russian names to compensate for the alphabetical lopsidedness). However, it would be important to check each name for ethnic (as opposed to simply national) origin to make sure that the names are really Russian -- the U.S.S.R. was a big tent. For instance, I notice Aizenshtadt and Akselrod on the list, which are Jewish names, while Akopyan is Armenian and Akimenko sounds Ukrainian. Cilantrohead (discuss • contribs) 03:28, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I am aware that not all the surnames listed on that site sound Russian, but I am really enjoying sifting through those and other surnames through that Forebears site. It's really a lot of fun. Classicalfan626 (discuss • contribs) 21:49, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

user book
Hi. I saw your note at the projects reading room, and had a passing thought. I guess this needs some explanation. A few years back, I had this (naive) idea that Wikibookians might get more of a sense of community if there were an easy-to-use user box for contributors to a book. I tried to set something up, hoping it would catch on... and of course it never did, much. I guess it wasn't easy enough to use, maybe not useful enough — partly because it wasn't used enough, so it never reached critical mass; or maybe most wikibooks just don't get a lot of contributors at once, so trying to group them like that just doesn't work very well. I've wondered if maybe, once I get context-sensitive help on-line using wikidialog, maybe it'll work better. Anyway there are a few books it's set up to work with; you put on your user page, and it automatically puts you in. The user box is customizable per book, using a peripheral template called. I've got a few of them on my own user page, such as And on a whim I set one up for Writing Adolescent Fiction,  Of course the image isn't terribly inspired; it could easily be customized to something else at Writing Adolescent Fiction/User book.

Of course, in this case I suppose it might be more appropriate to set up some sort of user box specific to the specialized task force. Do you suppose it would be helpful to somehow set up a general userbox facility that would help with things like that? --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 15:10, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I suppose it might be helpful to! And thanks for the WAF userbox. I'm going to use it! Cilantrohead (discuss • contribs) 21:53, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Landscape Modeling I: Basic Terrain

Help!!!!
Tadew: How do I move my camera and lamps? Also I tried creating this hills with constraint to the z axis and it still came out flat with moutain tops stcking out flat...

Panels vs. Tabs
mugatu: hi, it would be great if there's a consensus along the tutorial about what is a panel and what is a tab. For example in the Texturing the terrain section first it says Shading Tab (F5) and later it said Shading Panel (F6). It took me some time before i realized that these where both the same and the F6 was actually a mistake. I made the changes, hope that's ok.
 * Sorry for the mistake. I'm not very good about being consistent with what I call things.  Thanks for fixing it. Moohasha (talk) 18:26, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Rendering
Stu: I figure most people should be able to figure this out eventually, but rendering with the suggested 100 by 100 grid takes a real long time (at least on my hunk of junk), and the impatient noob (e.g., myself) may think he's doing something wrong, especially given that up to this point in the wikibook, minimal rendering has taken place, so he doesn't know what to expect during said process. Please address this in the tutorial! Also, it's easy to end up with the camera placed poorly so that you end up rendering the bottom of your landscape, and again the noob may wonder what the deal is with the black-as-his-heart bit of landscape appearing before his eyes. Warn the unwary about this, too!
 * Thanks for the suggestion. And you're right, it does take a long time, especially if you're trying to render the whole thing instead of just a portion.  I'll through something in at the end about it. Moohasha (talk) 18:26, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

your tutorial was excellent.
Just thought Id let you know that I thought your tutorial was fantastic. seriously grade A work. its very rare that you see one this simple and easy to follow yet complex with fruitful results.

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 Sanket. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sanket~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:40, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Landscape Modeling II: Texture Stenciling

Trouble adding more stencils
Hi guys, I have some trouble, please help me! In your tut we use 3 textures and 2 stencils: works fine. BUT 4 textures and 3 stencils will cause, that the last stencil/texture does not work,means that in my last stencil the 4. texture will not be shown but therefore the 3rd.

 * texture_1
 * stencil_1
 * texture_2
 * stencil_2
 * texture_3 // texture_3 is also shown in stencil_3-areas, where actually texture_4 should be
 * stencil_3
 * texture_4 // texture_4 does not appear

thanks!

 * I'm not entirely sure I follow, but be sure that your new stencil is applied to ALL previous stencils. So if you add a third stencil, say a white circle in the middle of a black background, then both your second AND first stencils need to include the white circle, not just the previous one.  Also, be sure that for your 3rd stencil, you've gone the the MapTo tab and deselected Col and selected Stencil and NoRGB in order to treat it as a stencil.

 * I've looked in multiple places and asked plenty of people, but I can't figure out how to combine the two separate stencil images. If they were far apart, I could copy/paste, but in my design (not quite like this one, but similar) they're touching each other.  What software should i use, and how do I use it?  Thanks!  11/13/2009

 * By the way, I edited your post to make it a little easier to read.  Moohasha 14:00, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for answering. curiously i fixed it by exactly not applying the new stencil to the older stencils.

 * Hm, not sure what that did, but glad it worked for you. :) Moohasha (talk) 18:47, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Multiple Stencils
Could someone please post what sequence the textures and stencils should be organized in? E.g. grass, dirt, stencil 1 etc. Thanks

Never mind, I think got it:

Grass

Stencil 1

Rock

Stencil 2

Dirt

Right?

ANSWER: yes, first the stencil then the texture as written in the tutorial:)

 * Right, as the tutorial demonstrates, the order is TEX1, STEN1, TEX2, STEN2, TEX3... Moohasha (talk) 18:46, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Making The Sky?
I wonder if someone could explain how to make the sky in the final picture? i go to shading -> world buttons and load a sky texture but i still get this homogen coulor background. how do i change this into the loaded sky texture? thanks for any hints. Hello?

edit: Yeah i got it! Its easy. Add a plane, scale it so its in the whole view of the camera. Add a skytexture. I wonder if you should note it in the tutorial?
 * That's one way, and works for still frames, but difficult to keep up if you want to make an annimation. The way I made the sky for this tutorial is this:
 * Select the camera in the 3D-viewport
 * Goto the Shading panel (F5) and add a new Texture
 * Make it an image and load in a cloud texture (or use whatever texture you want)
 * Within the Shading panel, goto the World Buttons (It's the button two down from the Texture button. Has a picture of the world)
 * In the Map To tab on the far right, deselect Blend and select Hori (for horizon)
 * In the preview tab, make sure Real and Blend are deselected, and Paper IS selected.
 * So what did that do? You basically applied a texture to the camera object.  To be honest, this whole process is a little confusing and dificult to get right, because you basically want to map the texture to the inside of a giant sphere that is behind everything else, so getting it to look good can be a little tricky.  It's been months since I did this, so I may be a little off, but that's the general idea.  Hope that helps. Moohasha (talk) 18:44, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Rock Texture?
Just wondering why you didn't provide a rock texture. Great tut other then That. But isn't there a easyer way to add textures to objects like that. Kinda like in Hexagon?

I was experimenting with the multiple stencil idea. I followed the directions to the nth degree but the outcome was unexpected.

The location of the stenciled texture was reversed (see below). Any thoughts?

Problem with reversed stencils.
I followed the instructions and ended up with my stenciled landscape displaying correctly in the preview window but when rendered, the stenciled area and textures were reversed. It was if they became a mirror image overlaying the ground. Any ideas anyone?

I tried to provide a screen shot but can't figure out how.

reversed stencil
I had the same problem. Than I discovered that there is anothere texture panel when you push the material button it appears far right. There I erased the textures and loaded them again and changed the preview button to "sphere" then my wonderful mars-mountains appeared :-)

Bumpmap
I think you should make mention of the Bumpmap feature "Nor in object mode" as another method of adding realism to your map. I would write that in myself, but I'm still a bit of a noob myself, and it's not my tutorial.

One texture instead of three
Is there possibility to export final texture (mixed from all three) to one file? I need to export the model to .obj file and it seems that .obj does not support multiple textures.

blender version trouble
I am having a great big trouble following this tutorial. I'm currently a blender 2.70 user but this tutorial seems to have been outdated and I could not follow the tutorial at all. I tried to find similar tutorials in using multiple textures but I could not find the typical tutorial as this one. If anyone could suggest a way I could get this working in my version of blender it would be really helpful. I will also try to update the tutorial for blender 2.7 users since the wiki tutorials are really popular. Lindlawlet (discuss • contribs) 03:31, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Teaching Elementary School Health Education/Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs

Topics to focus on in this area of health:
 * /Drug Misuse/

Alcohol
Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and it is the central nervous system that is most severely affected by alcohol. When ingested, alcohol passes from the stomach into the small intestine, where it is rapidly absorbed in the blood and distributed throughout the body. As blood alcohol concentration increases, a person's response to stimuli decreases markedly; speech becomes slurred, and he or she becomes unsteady and has trouble walking. With very high concentration, a person can become comatose and die. When consumed in large amounts over time, alcohol can harm virtually every organ in your body.

Alcohol and its effects

 * Blood Alcohol Concentration
 * Impaired judgment
 * Aggressive Behavior
 * Wrong Decisions
 * Intensified Emotions
 * Different systems (nervous, digestive, etc.)

Effects of drinking while pregnant

 * Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
 * Low birth weight

Alcohol and violence

 * Rape
 * Drinking and Driving
 * Alcoholism and effects on family

Problems with

 * Relationships

Tobacco
Smoking tobacco harms nearly every organ of the body, causing many diseases and affecting the health of smokers in general. Quitting smoking has immediate as well as long-term benefits for you and your loved ones. Smokeless tobacco is also a significant health risk and is not a safe substitute for smoking cigarettes. The two main types of smokeless tobacco in the United States are chewing tobacco and snuff. Although some forms of snuff can be used by sniffing or inhaling into the nose, most smokeless tobacco users place the product in their cheek or between their gum and cheek.

Effects of smoking

 * Cancer
 * Respiratory Diseases
 * Cardiovascular Diseases
 * Accidents (fires)

Effects of secondhand smoke
Effects of Second Hand Smoking

Drugs
Drugs are substances that change the way your brain and body work. Drugs can be swallowed, inhaled, smoked, or injected. Whichever way drugs are taken, they end up in your bloodstream and go to all parts of your body. Many drugs are illegal, meaning it is against the law to have them. Prescription drugs are given to you by a doctor if you have an injury, illness, or other health condition. You must follow your doctor's directions on how to take your medicine. Do NOT take someone else's prescription medicine or share your medicine with others. This isn't legal or safe. You do not need a doctor's prescription to buy over-the-counter (OTC) drugs at a pharmacy or grocery store. OTC drugs are used for colds, pain, and other health problems. You must follow the directions on how to take your medicine. You must take caution in taking any prescription or OTC drug. If abused, both types of drugs can be deadly.
