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 12:10, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

!! I opened your die easy page in the blender noob to pro wikibook for deletion. The page has been rewritten as a new page for blender 2.44. If there is a reason to keep this page please discuss it. Thanks for the help TwistedWeasel (talk) 19:02, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back!
Hey there! It's not too often we see anyone return after being gone since 2007. I'm thrilled you're back here and preparing to contribute to the Blender 3D: Noob to Pro book again. Just a note, the Blender images have been moved to Commons and free images have to be uploaded there now. If you upload any there you'll want to add them to Category:Blender 3D screenshots with, plus any license for portions of the screenshot showing models you've made. Great to have you back. – Adrignola talk 14:47, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your greeting and thanks for the help added to my page. I will certainly be uploading images and the info about the change is going to save me some hair pulling...

Wynnmc (talk) 19:24, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Hair pulling!!

I have registered with Wikimedia Commons and confirmed my email address.

I have tried to upload a screen shot of the 3D view of a new scene in Blender 2.54 and I repeatedly get an error message in red:

If you do not provide suitable license and source information, your upload will be deleted without further notice. Thank you for your understanding.

I have provided the following template in Summary

The filename doesn't already exist, licensing is set to “Own work, all rights released (Public domain)” and category is “Blender 3D screenshots”

I'm lost, I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

Wynnmc (talk) 21:23, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

 * That only appears when you don't choose a license from the drop-down list (that's for newbies only and you know what you're doing). Since you'll be indicating a license that will be visible upon saving the file as seen above, it has no risk of being deleted.  Go ahead and ignore the warning since you're including the licensing manually.  Addendum: I notice it says that even before you try to save a file, so it's just a generic scare warning that files have to be licensed.  I also altered the above code in that you can have the license below (permission field will say "see below" and the license can then take up the full screen width for a better appearance.  You can save time if you have it all ready by going to commons:Special:Upload rather than commons:Commons:Upload. – Adrignola talk 23:25, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your help.

I used commons:Special:Upload to try again (uploading NewScene3DViewBlender2.5x.png) and everything worked ... except a previous upload had worked (ignoring the red warning works — why doesn't that work in life?) and it said this file was a duplicate of initial-screen-blender-2.5x.png. Looking at this file I found it has no Summary stuff except for the licence. To try and repair this I have uploaded NewScene3DViewBlender2.5x.png with the name initial-screen-blender-2.5x.png and all the correct Summary stuff. It still shows only the licence in the Summary.

Gee this is fun! I hope you don't start climbing the walls any time soon...

Thanks again

Wynnmc (talk) 10:15, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

 * If you need to correct the information, you can just click the edit button at the top at File:Initial-screen-blender-2.5x.png rather than reuploading the file again. Reuploading just updates the file itself and not the information describing it.  That information page is just like your normal wiki page that anyone can edit.  I took the liberty of correcting the information on the page for you but you should check it just to be sure. – Adrignola talk 13:47, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again, I've checked it and expanded the description a bit ... having been a sysadmin, I'm a bit cautious about which knobs I twist and buttons I press Wynnmc (talk) 13:58, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm having trouble with the editing. I have added a "Clear" command after the image showing the roof plane created which has worked with the image and the text to go with it side by side. However, if I add another "Clear" command after the bit about giving the roof some thickness, the rest of the text disappears. I am copying the "Clear" command from the original 2.4x tutorial but I haven't been able to find anything about it or the "Clr" command. Both of these commands appear in the first part of the text and with no bad results.

Thanks for any help you can offer,

Wynnmc (talk) 21:09, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

 * I've made some changes. Take a look at the edit summary, diff, code, and resulting appearance to see what I did. – Adrignola talk 00:56, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I see (perhaps understand? monkey see, monkey do??) what you've done, thank you for the trouble you've taken. – Wynnmc talk 12:48, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

User talk:Oolongy~enwikibooks

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.

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 Oolongy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Oolongy~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 23:34, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

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

Project+
{| cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" style="border: 1px red solid; background: #ffffcc; width: 95%; margin: auto;" | style="width: 40px; text-align: center;" | | Closed as keep. The content has been clarified regarding what it is about, and what has been added has been turned into a better organized outline. There is no reason to continue this VfD. --Rob Horning 23:18, 19 June 2007 (UTC) |- | colspan="2" style="border-top: 1px red dashed;" |

This book was nominated for speedy deletion by User:Robert Horning, and that nomination was contested by the only active contributor to this book. I have changed the nomination from a speedy delete to a VfD, and we can discuss the matter here. For the record, I am opposed to deletion, and this nomination should not be counted as a vote in the affirmative. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 00:00, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Weak delete All I see is a page of bullet points with no explanation of what the terms mean or what the headings mean. Even the sentences that follow the bullet points are not really sentences.  Unless this book can be quickly improved into regular book format with sentences and explanations then I would agree with Robert that it should be deleted.  What were Robert's reasons for deletion though? Xania [[Image:Flag_of_Italy.svg|15px]]talk 20:17, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The book is just over a week old right now, and it was nominated for deletion when it was only 3 days old. How high can you expect the quality of a book to be in three days? --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 20:54, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

 * How long ago was the speedy contested? If recently I'd say let the primary author have the time to fix it up. Mattb112885 (talk) 20:50, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The book was created on 24 May, it was nominated for speedy by Rob on 27 May, and it was contested on 31 May. It's all a very short timeframe. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 20:54, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete - just looks like someone's personal exam notes. Webaware talk 07:58, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - The reasons I listed for deleting this page (it really isn't even a book) was that it appeared to me as a violation of WB:WIW by using Wikibooks as a webhosting site, posting some personal exam notes and otherwise not really a serious effort to create a textbook. If I thought it was complete trash, I simply would have pressed the "delete" tab and have been done with it.  Instead, I felt that the "author" needed to be aware of Wikibooks policies and I did want to see what the author intended to accomplish with this book proposal.  That this particular author is insisting on remaining anonymous by using multiple IP addresses and accounts (I don't see obvious sock puppetry, however) has made it quite a bit more difficult to communicate with this individual.  I would have normally made a quiet comment on the user talk page instead of going this route... and I did consider this page to be a deletion candidate for many of the reasons listed above.  I do want to give this author some time to develop this book, if that is what his intention really is going to be, although I don't see with his tone and attitude that he will respond favorably to somebody else editing the content of that page either.  --Rob Horning 12:41, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Transwiki - to Wikiversity. Exam notes would be more appropriate at Wikiversity. --Remi 15:21, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Having taken a look at the modules I agree with User:Remi. Should not be deleted but it would be better served at wikiversity. Mattb112885 (talk) 01:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Week keep - I don't see the difference between exam notes and study guides. If anyone is willing to rewrite this into a real textbook, I see no strong reason to delete it. Hoogli 16:25, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't mind that this was turned into a textbook, although I would like to know about what topic it is addressing, and not to find that information from a heated discussion on the talk page. In reading just the page content, I just scratch my head and wonder what the goals of the books are.  Apparently it is supposed to be a test study guide, but I wouldn't have been able to tell that from just reading the outline.  My question would be, if I'm reading this page as a stub, can I possibly expand this topic into something more detailed and actually add some prose to the page?  How could I add content as an "expert" if I can't even figure out what it is about?  --Rob Horning 19:36, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You're requiring that three days into the book's lifespan that it should have a fully intelligible definition and scope. We have never required books must attain any specific milestones in any timeframe. The deletion policy gives new books a seven day grace period specifically because we dont want to be deleting a perfectly legitimate book just because it's gotten off to a rocky start. An author of a new book has enough to worry about in the first few days without having to also fend off a VfD. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 22:11, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Not at all. But I would like anything added to Wikibooks to at least let somebody else be able to edit the content in a coherent manner that can add value to the original content.  And I will say it again, I did not delete this page.  I asked for review of this content instead, and perhaps a markup tag that is more along the lines of "What is this?" should be used (next time I come across content like this, I'll do that instead) instead of the speedy delete tag.  And mind you, I did not force this into a VfD.  The deletion tag simply could have been removed instead of blowing this whole discussion on this page.  After I got the attention of the "original author", I nearly removed the speedy delete tag myself.  I did question the legitimacy of this page, and am still not sure if it belongs on Wikibooks.  --Rob Horning 20:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * keep This is a useful outline for a textbook on the Project+ certification and provides a useful framework for the development of a book about the same. -- xixtas talk 23:22, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Comments
I'll put it here for good order & peace! I fully agree with Rob that there could/should be a halfway house between deletion process & keeping. My intention with this section was exactly that and I would have probably listed Project+ as well as Desires & Inner self (above) there. Probably not speedies but certainly warranting the community's attention. I'd love to see that aspect of the page, at least, be used. -- Herby talk thyme 07:13, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Knowledge Assasins
Its a perfect example of a potentially high quality textbook many can learn a lot from, in early stages of its evolution. It is being assasinated by unbalanced opinions on your part, or lack thereof, on the part of the current version of the book, before it had the chance to sprout enough for a whiter shade of pale green. --[User:Ohadaloni|Ohadaloni]] 19:55, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Linux Audio: A Guide For Beginner and Beyond/For the Beginner

Introduction
This chapter will discuss the steps required to get a basic sound-enabled linux system up and running. While being an expert is not required, this book assumes the reader has some familiarity with using a computer. While keeping the beginner in mind, some advanced topics will be discussed, such as kernel configuration and compiling software from source. If you feel you are uncomfortable with such tasks, do not be discouraged. Installing and configuring a linux system can certainly be an intimidating task, but recent distributions have made this much simpler, and there are even some distributions that can run straight off a CD or DVD, requiring no installation whatsoever!

First Things First: Choosing A Distribution
There is a great variety of distributions available, and choosing the best one for you may take some time. However, with a number of live distributions and virtualization becoming more popular, it is much easier to try different ones out. If you have the time, maybe even try a few out.

This is by no means a comprehensive list of all linux distributions. It is an unending discussion among different users on numerous websites and mailing lists, and in reality there is no one distribution that best for every user and application. This list tries to focus on those distributions which are intended mainly for multimedia creation use and those popular among linux audio users. There is a lot of information around the internet, such as the distributions' websites and various mailing lists. The key things to keep in mind are what your specific requirements are and how comfortable you are with system administration.

APODIO
A distant descendant of Mandriva. According to the official website at http://www.apodio.org/ it is currently based on Ubuntu.

Puredyne
The Puredyne live CD is dedicated to live audio-and-visual processing and streaming. Puredyne uses a realtime kernel. Puredyne was initially based on the dyne:bolic distribution before the transition to Debian Live and Ubuntu.

Musix
Package Manager: apt

Languages: Spanish, English (French and other languages currently being translated)

AGNULA
A distribution intended for professional audio and video use. However, it is no longer maintained and has now become the Debian Multimedia Project.

Arch Linux
"Arch Linux is an independently developed i686/x86-64 optimized community distribution, based on a rolling-release package model and targeted at competent GNU/Linux users. Arch provides a minimal environment upon installation, (no GUI), already compiled and optimized for i686/x86-64 architectures. Arch is lightweight, flexible and simple. Its design philosophy and implementation make it easy to extend and mold into whatever kind of system you're building- from a minimalist console machine to the most grandiose and feature rich desktop environments available. Rather than tearing out unneeded and unwanted packages, Arch offers the power user the ability to build up from a minimal foundation without any defaults chosen for them." This makes Arch a great option for competent users to build one of the best possible Audio systems on the hardware available to them.

 * Arch ProAudio wikipage
 * Arch ProAudio thread

Core/Tinycore
A unique and minimalist distribution of the Linux operating system and tools. It offers an even more minimal foundation than Arch to build from. Binary package availability depends entirely on the community. Tinycore has a small but friendly community. Consequently, users may have to build packages, if they aren't available or updated. Typically, the OS operates by loading a small base (the kernel and a filesystem with some basic tools ~8M) into RAM, then mounting applications from disk storage (apps can also be configured to load into RAM).

Tips on building a lightweight audio workstation here: http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:audio_workstation Setting up an audio player appliance: http://personal.nbnet.nb.ca/gavaris/apa.html

Linux From Scratch / BFLS
This may not count as a distribution, but it does show you how to build a complete, albeit minimal, working system from source. The goals of LFS are mostly learning the ins-and-outs of a linux system, but the BLFS (Beyond Linux From Scratch) does have quite a list of and media related software and libraries. It may not be the best for building a highly-optimized audio workstation, but for the more programming-minded or those who like to experiment, this just may be the thing for you. Another possibility is embedded systems; with the right package selection and some careful scripting, you can have a small but powerful MIDI controller for your live rig... just a thought!

Gentoo
This is a fairly popular distribution with linux audio users.

Software Repositories
While not considered full linux systems, these software repositories are provided as add-ons to existing distributions and offer patched, low-latency kernels, and various multimedia software prepackaged for easy installation.

More On Hardware And Optimizing For Low-Latency
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

Now that you know more about the basics of the linux audio system, let's talk more about how it relates to more hardware-specific issues. As the quote above states, if your system already runs fine, too much tweaking may just lead to system breakage, and the best thing to do is doing nothing at all. If, however, you are experiencing some problems with hardware, or just plain unacceptable performance, some of the tips in this section may be of use to you.

Linux Audio: A Guide For Beginner and Beyond/Appendix-List of Dependencies and Compiling Tips

This is a list of many of the widely used software packages. Mainly provided for those who compile their own packages, it lists required packages and various notes on compiling, although other users may find this information useful as well.

Some General Troubleshooting Tips

 * As with compiling and installing any software, running configure and make as a non-root user is recommended.

 * A number of libraries rely on pkg-config, so check to make sure your PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains the right path to dependencies.

Dependencies

 * alsa-lib

 * Boost C++ libraries

 * fftw3 (without --enable-float)

 * gtk2 (confirm this package name)

 * jack

 * liblrdf (requires: LADSPA, raptor)

 * liblo

 * libsamplerate

 * scons

Optional:

 * fftw3 (with --enable-float)
 * (Note to self: Confirm this)

 * (Note to self: Double check dependencies needed for VST support)

Compiling Tips
Notes:

 * The boost and gtk2 libraries are included in most sane linux distributions, so there is little chance you will need to worry about these. At most, it will involve installing a -devel package or two.

 * The non float-enabled fftw3 is required for Ardour's internal libsndfile library.

 * (The optional float-enabled fftw3f is required for the optional FFT analysis window feature.)

fftw3
The Fastest Fourier in the West

A very well optimized FFT library used in a lot of packages for performing DSP routines. *NOTE* There is a version 2 of the library as well, which is incompatible with version 3.

Dependencies

 * None

Compiling Tips
Flags:

 * --enable-shared - disabled by default, this enables the shared library to be built, which is required by most software

 * --enable-single - same as --enable-float

 * --enable-float - this forces the library to be built with single-precision floating point numbers, and the library names beginning with fftw3 will begin with fftw3f.

Notes:

Some software require the fftw3 version of the library, and some require the fftw3f version. This may be confusing to users who are compiling this for the first time. If another software fails to detect this library, double check which version you have installed. Since a lot of software documentation does not specify which, it may be a good idea just to install both from the start and avoid confusion later.

FFAD (formerly FreeBoB)
Free Firewire Audio Drivers

Formerly the FreeBob project (for support of BridgeCo. BeBoB devices). A backend end driver for use with firewire audio interfaces.

Dependencies

 * libraw1394

 * libavc1394 (requires libraw1394)

 * libiec61883 (requires libraw1394)

Dependencies
Optional:

 * libogg

Compiling Tips
This software should compile with little issue.

Note for those wishing to run the test suite, it takes a VERY long time. As a comparison, on 2.4GHz dual core system with 2GB of RAM, compiling the library takes less than a minute, but the test suite takes about 45 minutes.

jack-audio-connection-kit
The JACK Audio Connection Kit

Dependencies

 * alsa-lib (for ALSA and OSS backends)

 * FFAD (for IEEE1394 device support)

 * libsndfile

Compiling Tips
Flags:

 * --enable-dynsimd - Enables SIMD instructions, such as SSE. HIGHLY recommended for any user using a Pentium II or later compiler.

 * --with-default-tmpdir - Sets the default path for a shared memory directory.

Notes:

 * A note on using SSE, even though the configure script will add the -sse flag, SSE and above support will not be enabled. A way to check this, if you run the jackd server, it will explicitly output SSE, SSE2, or Enhanced3DNow! detected if found.  Since a good deal of JACK is SSE optimized, your best bet is to just enable it from the start.  The worst thing that could happen is an illegal instruction error if your processor does not support it, in which case you can disable it.

 * If the --with-default-tmpdir flag is not set, JACK will use /tmp, which is not present or not set as shared memory in some distributions. The JACK documentation recommends creating and entry in /etc/fstab for it, but for recent kernels and distributions, it may be simpler to set this to existing shared memory, such as /dev/shm.
 * Note: Some pre-compiled versions already set this for you. So, if you are upgrading from a previous version of JACK, make sure everything including the installation goes in the same place.  The JACK developers advise against having more than one version installed to avoid possible breakage and general confusion.

Dependencies

 * fftw3 (with --enable-float)

 * jack

 * LADSPA

LADSPA
The Linux Audio Developer's Simple Plugin API

Dependencies
None

Compiling Tips
Installation requires not compiling at all, just copying src/ladspa.h from the source tree into your /usr/include directory.

Compiling the sample plugins is completely optional.

Dependencies

 * None

Compiling Tips
You should have little trouble compiling this package.

 * Note: While out of the scope of this book, liblo can use IPv6, which has been known to be rather unstable on some older systems. This shouldn't be a problem on any recent kernel or distribution.

liblrdf
An XML Library

Dependencies

 * LADSPA

 * Raptor

Compiling Tips
You should have little trouble compiling this package.

Dependencies

 * fftw3 (without --enable-float)

Dependencies
Optional:

 * FLAC (version 1.1.2 - see below)

Compiling Tips
Notes:

The current version of libsndfile requires version 1.1.2 of FLAC. A note to those who like to use the most recent versions of software, libsndfile will NOT compile with FLAC versions 1.1.3, 1.1.4 or later! This is due to the FLAC library changing the names of some key functions in the stream encoder. While designed to be easier to use, libsndfile has not been updated to use these new functions yet.

Dependencies

 * CMake

 * QT3

Optional:

 * DSSI

 * LIRC

Using Wikibooks/Setting Up A User Account

Note: also see Help:Account management

The Advantages of Using a User Account
There are a number of benefits to creating a Wikibooks account, and using that account consistently. We'll list some of the benefits below:

 * Anonymity:You are actually more anonymous when you register for an account. This is because when you edit anonymously, your IP address (which can be used to identify your location) is posted. When you have a user account, your IP address is hidden. Notice that if there is a problem, specially elected users known as Checkusers can access the IP records. However, Checkusers only access the records in response to specific needs. We will discuss Checkusers and the IP logs in greater detail in the section The Wikibooks Administrator.
 * User space:If you have a user account, you also have a personal user page, and any subpages to that page that you want to create. Some users have literally hundreds of personal pages for various uses. You can write about yourself on your user pages, or you can write about anything you want. Many users use their pages to write about books, and keep track of various tasks that need to be completed here. Also, users have their own personal JavaScript and CSS stylesheets that they can use to customize and personalize the Wikibooks interface. Some users have very simple user spaces, while some users have very elaborate spaces. It's your space, so feel free to use it however you want.
 * User talk pages:In addition to a user page where you can write about yourself, you also have a user talk page where other people can write messages to you. When somebody writes you a message, a notification will appear at the top of your page. This is a great way of keeping in touch with people, especially when timezone differences make direct communications difficult.
 * User Preferences:You can set a number of preferences for your account including: Setting an email contact address that others can use, changing display themes ("skins") to change the way the website looks, changing the appearance of certain items and changing time and date formats. Wikibookians and other Wikimedians have also developed a number of JavaScript-based productivity tools called gadgets that can be added to your account. There are lots of options for you to check out and customize your Wikibooks experience.
 * Watchlist: You will get a personal watchlist that will show changes that other people make to pages on that list. This way you can monitor pages you are interested in, such as pages you author and discussion pages you participate in. The watchlist gives you a way to keep track of pages you like, and play an active role in their development.
 * Voting and Discussing: While even IP users can participate in community discussions, their voice usually carries little weight and in some cases will be ignored entirely. This is because people editing from an IP address are not considered to have a vested interest here, and because there is a one-to-many relationship between most IP addresses and individual people. As a registered user you will have full rights to participate in community discussions and help make decisions, even from your very first day here.

This is a long list, but it is not complete. There are many reasons why you should create an account at Wikibooks. If you plan to spend much time here, you should consider signing up for one. The process is free, quick, and easy. You are not required to supply any personal information, so you can always remain anonymous if you choose to. We know it's yet another internet signup, and we know you've probably been through a million, but we promise this signup process will be fast and painless.

Setting up a User Account
Setting up a user account is quick and easy, often taking less than a couple of minutes to complete. Before starting this process you must first choose an appropriate username. Once you set up your account, all of your edits will be performed under this name, so it is important to choose a name you are comfortable with.

Once you have decided on a username you can register it. Click the "Sign in / create account" link in the top right of the screen to bring up the login screen. From here click the 'Create One' link at the top of the login box. Ensure all of the mandatory boxes are filled out on the form on the registration page and click 'Create Account' to finish the process. Make sure you choose a strong password that isn't easy to guess so your account remains secure (See Below).

Once you have finished registration you can login with your username and password. You now have access to your own personal watchlist and preferences, selected from the links banner in the top right corner.

Username Taken?
Dozens of new user accounts are created every day, so the odds are good that the username you want might already be taken by somebody else. There is some chance the username you want may be available for usurpation. That means that users who are stewards may be able to give you the username you want by taking it away from an inactive account. It is not a guarantee, but in some cases it is possible. Ask for help from a steward, including the username you want and your current username (if any), at this page at Meta.

Choosing a Username
It is worth choosing a username that is not insulting or confusing to those around you in order to promote a harmonious editing environment. There are no policies regarding this in particular, but Be civil is relevant. As a guideline, we suggest avoiding:

 * 1) Confusing usernames:
 * 2) * Usernames that are very similar to the name of another Wikibooks user and might cause confusion.
 * 3) * Usernames that confusingly refer to a Wikibooks process, namespace, or toolbar item.
 * 4) Misleading usernames:
 * 5) * Usernames that imply the user is an administrator or official figure on Wikipedia, or of the Wikimedia Foundation.
 * 6) * Usernames that match the name of a well-known/famous living or recently deceased person, unless you verifiably are that person, in which case please note this on your user page.
 * 7) Disruptive usernames:
 * 8) * Usernames that are similar to those previously used by persistent vandals or banned users.
 * 9) * Usernames that are attacks on specific users.
 * 10) * Usernames that contain personal information about people, such as a telephone number or street addresses.
 * 11) * Usernames that allude to hacking, trolling, vandalism, legal threats, or computer malware (viruses, spyware etc...).
 * 12) * Usernames that include profanity, or obscenities, or references to genitalia or sexual slang.
 * 13) Promotional usernames:
 * 14) * Usernames that match the name of a company or group, if the user is using the account as a promotional tool.
 * 15) Offensive usernames:
 * 16) * Usernames that promote a controversial or potentially inflammatory point of view.
 * 17) * Usernames that are defamatory or insulting to other people or groups.
 * 18) * Usernames that invoke the name of a religious figure or religion in a distasteful, disrespectful, or provocative way, or promote one religion over another. (Note that simple expressions of faith are allowed unless they are disruptive, but are generally discouraged.)
 * 19) * Usernames that refer to real-world violent actions.
 * 20) * Usernames that refer or include allusions to racism, sexism, hate speech, etc...
 * 21) * Usernames that refer to a medical condition or disability in a belittling way.
 * 22) * Usernames that include slurs, or references to reproductive or excretory bodily functions.
 * 23) Usernames containing the at symbol (@)
 * 24) *These are disallowed due to technical restrictions.

Choosing a Password
In order to maintain the integrity and security of your account, you should choose a good, strong password.

Weak Passwords:

Poor/easily guessable passwords tend to include words in the dictionary, proper names, words based on your username or common variations on these themes, as well as information such as birth dates and pet names.

Example of weak passwords include:
 * — too easily guessed
 * — too easily guessed
 * — repeated letters and/or adjacent letters on a keyboard (e.g. asdf)
 * — common personal names
 * — easily guessed, used very often
 * — simple letter substitutions are pre-programmed into cracking tools
 * — common name for a pet, also a dictionary word
 * — date, possibly of personal importance
 * — a user name, and if so, very easily guessed

Strong Passwords:

Strong passwords avoid using dictionary terms and are generally made up of a random sequence of letters, numbers, and symbols. Unusual/bizarre phrases can also be acceptable. The length of a password can also slow down the time which it takes to guess it, often causing a hacker to deem the amount of time needed is not worth it.

Examples of strong passwords include: Note: these particular strings are no longer strong passwords, because they have been published.
 * — not a dictionary word, has both cases of alpha, plus numeric, and punctuation characters
 * — long, with both alpha cases and numeric characters
 * — phrases can be long, memorable and contain an extended symbol to increase their strength
 * — A mixture of varying-case letters, numbers, and symbols. It is memorable as an initialism of "The password for this computer is too strong for you to guess!"

Moreover, a same password shouldn't be used on several sites in order to avoid a domino effect if one is discovered. To remember them easily, a part of their URL can be concatenated to a fix pattern (but try to do that in an unpredictable way).

New User Restrictions
Newly created user accounts have a few restrictions placed on them. We do this because vandals and other unsavory elements set up temporary user accounts in order to post spam and vandalism here on Wikibooks. This restricted period lasts 4 days from the time you create your user account. Once these 4 days have passed, your account is called autoconfirmed. Here are some of the restrictions new users face until they become autoconfirmed:

 * Image uploads:New users cannot upload images to Wikibooks. This is because we have historically had a large problem with vandals uploading inappropriate pictures to Wikibooks. However, there is an easy solution to this: Wikimedia Commons allows new users to upload images without having to wait to become autoconfirmed. Images that are uploaded to commons can be used here on Wikibooks as if they have been uploaded here. Commons is the preferred place to upload images, even for veteran users.
 * Page Moves:New users cannot move pages. However, if you have a page that needs to be moved, you can ask on WB:PROJECTS or WB:AN for help. Make sure to read the guidelines at Naming policy, to help avoid some common mistakes.
 * Editing protected pages:Some pages on Wikibooks are protected against being edited by anonymous users. Unfortunately, registered users who are not autoconfirmed cannot edit these pages either. Luckily, these pages are not common, and it is unlikely new users will need to edit many of them anyway. Ask for help at WB:HELP or WB:AN for help with this.

User Page
Every user account has two special pages, a user page and a user talk page. These two pages are yours, and yours alone. What you do with these pages is for you to decide; but, here are some common uses:
 * Your User Page:People often use their user pages as profile pages. Write about yourself, what you like, who you are. Many people also use it as a place to organize thoughts, prepare a list of links that are needed often, tips, and reminders. Many users also take some pride in decorating their user pages, and making them look fancy. There are many options, and you should feel free to experiment with your user page as much as you want. If you are under 18, please do not list your first and last name.
 * Your User Talk Page: The talk page is a place where other users can contact you, and where you can carry on discussions with others. When another user writes a message on your user talk page, you will see a banner at the top of your browser that says "You have new messages". When you see this banner, go to your talk page, because somebody has left you a message. If you want people to contact you in a special way, or if you want to provide basic guidelines for how people talk to you, you can post them at the top of your talk page.

User Space
In addition to the two pages mentioned above, you can have a multitude of additional pages for personal use. These pages together are known as your user space.

The user space works like any other book. Your user page is like the main page, and you can create subpages with a forward slash. Here are some common examples:
 * Your Page/Sandbox: Wikibooks has a large Sandbox page that people can experiment with, but some people would like a personal sandbox where they can experiment with things without being disturbed. If you want to practice with templates, you might also like to create a Template Sandbox page, and experiment with that.
 * Your Page/Links: Create a list of links for your benefit, or to help others get around quickly.
 * Your Page/About: Create a page about you, your interests, your experience, your background.
 * Your Page/Books: Write a little bit about the books and projects you are working on, what your goals are, and what you think needs to be fixed. In book writing, the more plans you write out, the easier it will be for other users to join in.

These are just a few ideas. Some people don't use any pages in their user space, while some users have hundreds of pages there. Feel free to use as much or as little as you want.

Deleting User Subpages
If you have a subpage in your user space, and you want it to be deleted. add the following tag to the top of the page:. An admin will find it and delete it eventually. If you are in a big hurry for some reason, you could contact an admin directly.

Admins may delete pages in their own user space at any time for any reason.

Your Contributions
Your contributions are important, and you should be proud of them! Go to Special:Contributions and type in your name to see a list of your edits. In the upper-left corner of your screen, there should also be a link that says My Contributions. Clicking on that will take you to your edit history directly.

Belarusian/Lesson 13

The Apostroph
The apostroph is used to separate a consonant from a y-vowel, so as the consonant be hard and the vowel be read as at the beginning of the word.

аб'я́ва "abyava" an advertisement

вар'я́т "varyat" a mad person

Thus, these words are read as if their parts separated by the apostroph were two separate words.

The soft sign can also be used as a disjunctive symbol; its difference from the apostrophe is that it makes the preceding consonant soft.

алья́нс "al'yans" an alliance

The Genitive
Now we shall deal with Genitive forms of different words other than nouns.

Adjectives
The endings of adjectives in the Genitive case are as follows.

Soft basis, hard basis etc. mean that the final letter of the word basis which is not changed in deflexion, is soft, hard etc.

Endings given in parentheses stand for unstressed forms.

The same way is applied to the demonstaratives: гэ́ты - гэ́тага, гэ́тай or гэ́тае, гэ́тых; той - таго́, той or  тае́, тых.

Pronouns
The Genitive pronoun forms are shown below.

Possessives
The possessives' Genitive forms are much like those of adjectives.

Numbers
Here are the genitive forms of the numbers from one to ten.

Question Words
Now, we can notice several things common to all these different words.

 * Masculine and Neuter forms for all cases except Nominative are the same
 * Feminine Genitive has two possible forms; one of them actually coincides with Neuter Nominative. These two forms actually correspond to different regional dialects; the first one (ой) is somewhat more scientific whereas the second (ое) is more spread in literature. Some Belarusians prefer the second form because they like Belarusian to sound less like Russian.

Indefinite Words
The indefinite words correspond to the English some and its derivarives (somebody, something, somehow etc.) Actually each question word has a correspondent indefinite word, and most of them even two or three. One is formed via не prefix, and another - with сцi (or сь) suffix.

The "сь"-forms are only used in colloquial speech, while the other two are interchangeable.

'''Што гэ́та? Не́шта (Што́сьці) прыго́жае.''' What is this? It's something beautiful.

'''Хто гэ́та? - Гэ́та не́йкі звер. - Воўк? - Не, не воўк. Не́хта яшчэ́.''' Who is that? - It's a kind of a beast. - A wolf? - No, not a wolf. Somebody else.

'''Гэ́та твая́ ідэ́я? Не, не мая́. Чыя́сь яшчэ́.''' Is that your idea? No, not mine. It's someone else's.

Там саба́ка і не́калькі ка́чак. There is a dog and some ducks there.

'''Ты ху́тка пла́ваеш? Не, не ду́жа ху́тка, але́ не́як пла́ваю.''' Do you swim fast? No, not very fast, but I swim in some way.

Note that the words колькі and некалькі require the Genitive Case.

Also note that the words нехта and хтосьці are masculine whereas нешта and штосьці are neuter.

The Genitive forms of the indefinite words are the same as the Genitive forms of the correspondent question words.

'''Чыя́ гэ́та кніга? - Гэ́та кніга не́йкага студэ́нта.''' "Whose book is this? This is a book of some student".

Ён а́ўтар не́калькіх ка́зак. He is an author of several tales.

Гэ́та пача́так чаго́сьці ціка́вага. This is a beginning of something interesting.

Genitive
Translate these phrases into Belarusian, putting them into (a) Nominative Singular, (b) Nominative Plural, (c) Genitive Singular, and (d) Genitive Plural.

Talk:Beginning Mathematics/What is Mathematics?

I am not quite happy with the enthusiastic introduction. Two flaws apparently come to mind: First, it is not at all obvious that math is a Universal Language across species. In fact, we have overwhelming evidence that we can not use math to communicate with other living entities like plants or animals. We can efficiently communicate with our pets, but not through use of mathematics, but by other means such as body language, etc.

Second, much is not known about the development of mathematics, and how it relates to language. That there is a strong connection between language (syntax) and our mathematical abilities seems clear. But the particulars of this connection, and its historic development is pretty much unknown. It seems to me the article should be toned down a lot(!) and give appropriate references for curious readers. 17:10, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

By the account of "Where did Mathematics come from?", my dog does mathematics! 12 Sept 2007 RJM

Yes, I am in agreement with the poster above. 216.221.91.101 (talk) 01:07, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I am exceedingly unhappy with the introduction. The author point blank states the constructionist hypothesis, with no reference to the platonic or intuitionist schools. Although neoplatonism is objectionable to many humanists due to a mistaken belief that it is a form of Theism, there are many mathematicians who believe that mathematics exists outside the human context, and that there is a form of "abstract reality" within which mathematics exists. Otherwise we are asked to believe that the 1+0=1 is only true in human context, which in turn raises the question as to whether the universe would exist were there no humans to observe it.

I don't believe that a discussion of the nature of the existence of maths belongs in a "Beginning Mathematics" book. 121.222.243.151 (talk) 21:34, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Radiation Oncology/Toxicity/Vision

Single Fraction

 * Optic nerve & chiasm MTD: conservatively 10 Gy, point dose 12 Gy. No DVH data available
 * Majority <2 years, but can develop 3+ years later

 * Mayo, 2003 PMID 12654424 -- "A study on the radiation tolerance of the optic nerves and chiasm after stereotactic radiosurgery." (Stafford SL, Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 2003 Apr 1;55(5):1177-81.)
 * Retrospective. 218 gamma knife plans (122 sellar/parasellar, 89 pituitary, 7 cranipharyngiomas). Prior RT in 11% patients. Median F/U 40 months
 * RT: median max 10 Gy (0.4-16.0)
 * Radiation optic neuropathy: 4 patients (2%) at median 48 months. All had prior surgery, 3/4 prior EBRT (risk 0.5% vs. 13%).
 * Conclusion: Risk of RON 1% if "short" segment dose <=12 Gy. "Long" segment to 9 Gy may carry a significant risk. Short vs. long not enough data to define

 * Maryland, 2000 PMID 11180138 -- "Preservation of visual fields after peri-sellar gamma-knife radiosurgery." (Ove R, Int J Cancer. 2000 Dec 20;90(6):343-50.)
 * Retrospective. 20 patients, 90% pituitary adenomas. Median F/U 24 months
 * RT: mean max dose 9 Gy (2.5-14.1), volume average of optic chiasm 5.2 Gy.
 * Complications: none
 * Conclusion: 8 Gy conservative, 10 Gy justifiable

 * Graz, 1998 (Austria) PMID 9420071 -- "Dose-response tolerance of the visual pathways and cranial nerves of the cavernous sinus to stereotactic radiosurgery." (Leber KA, J Neurosurg. 1998 Jan;88(1):43-50.)
 * Retrospective. 50 patients with gamma knife treatment of middle cranial fossa. Mean F/U 40 months
 * Optic neuropathy: 0% if <10 Gy, 27% if 10-15 Gy, 78% if >15 Gy
 * Other CN neuropathy: none, doses 5-30 Gy
 * Conclusion: 10 Gy MTD
 * Critique: same imprecise technique as used in Pittsburgh/MGH study below

 * Pittsburgh/MGH, 1993 PMID 8407394 -- "Tolerance of cranial nerves of the cavernous sinus to radiosurgery." (Tishler RB, Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 1993 Sep 30;27(2):215-21.)
 * Retrospective. 62 patients with lesions around cavernous sinus. Treated with GKS (33 patients) or 6MV linac (29 patients). Median F/U 19 months
 * Optic complications: 4 patients, dose response seen (4/17 dose >8 Gy; 0/35 dose <8 Gy)
 * Conclusion: Dose to optic apparatus should be <8 Gy
 * Critique PMID 12654424: 1) planning done on CT, where it is hard to visualize optics, 2) max dose determined by manually overlaying computer isodose printouts over CT images, and with steep dose falloff, 8 and 10 Gy isodoses are only several mm apart => possible measurement error

Fractionated EBRT

 * Optic nerves & chiasm MTD: 60 Gy (RTOG protocols currently recommend 55 Gy; pediatric CCG protocols recommend 50.4 Gy)
 * Retina MTD: 50 Gy
 * Lacrimal glands MTD: 40 Gy

 * Retrospective. 163 patients, tumors of H&N or skull base treated with carbon ion. Analyzed 54 optic nerves in 30 patients. Median prescribed dose 56 GyE at 3-4 GyE/fraction
 * Outcome: If <57 GyE, no visual loss. If >57 GyE, 58% decrease in visual acuity. D20 significantly associated with visual loss
 * Conclusion: D20 >60 GyE associated with decreased visual acuity at 3-4 Gy/fx

Additional 13 nerves had NTCP 19%-83% without complication. Overall good fit to model using n=0.25, m=0.14 TD50=72 Gy (increased from original 65 Gy)
 * Retina : 1 mild complication (mean 63.3 Gy, max 76.1 Gy), no complication 39 retinas (mean avg 29.8 Gy, mean max 64 Gy, max avg 51.4 Gy, max max 77 Gy). NTCP 56%, model using n=0.2, m=0.19, TD50=65 Gy)

 * Dose-response: no injury if dose <59 Gy. If dose >=60 Gy, 15-year risk of optic neuropathy 11% if fraction size <1.9 Gy, 47% if fraction size >=1.9 Gy

Ocular neuromyotonia

 * Rare disorder
 * Clinical characteristics:
 * Intermittent diplopia lasting seconds to minutes
 * Paroxysm may last up to several minutes, and occur multiple times per day
 * Amount and pattern of eye deviation (leading to diplopia) may vary without any pattern
 * Physical examination
 * CN exam typically normal
 * Can be provoked by having patient hold excentric gaze, and then by changing gaze direction (see Abnormal gaze movie at BMJ.com)
 * Pathogenesis:
 * Presumed radiation-induced cranial neuropathy due to segmental demyelination, manifesting as spontaneous discharge from axons with unstable cell membranes
 * This leads to involuntary tonic contraction of one or more ocular muscles innervated by CN III, CN IV and CN IV
 * Subsequently, patients develop a paroxysmal binocular misalignment
 * May be radiation-induced
 * Intracranial masses (typically near skull base); medulloblastoma; pituitary tumors
 * Nasopharyngeal CA
 * Whole brain RT
 * Treatment:
 * Prism glasses
 * Neurontin or Tegretol

 * Rostock, 1999 (Germany) PMID 10401502 -- "Neuromyotonia of the abducens nerve after hypophysectomy and radiation." (Becskulin A, Strabismus. 1999 Mar;7(1):37-40.)

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

Orthopaedic Surgery/Medial Epicondylitis

Medial epicondylitis is sometimes known as golfer's elbow.

Golfers Elbow is a problem with the flexor muscle mechanism of the wrist - in other words the group of muscles whose job it is to flex the wrist joint. These muscles are attached to the facet on the anterior aspect of the medial epicondyle at the elbow.

Golfers elbow or medial epicondylitis is much less common than tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis.

Features of Medial Epicondylitis
 * Pain at the medial epicondyle or inner side of the joint
 * A history of overuse
 * Expect to find normal range of movement on passive testing of the joint

The main "golfers" sign is pain on resisted flexion of the wrist - more so if tested with the elbow held in the extended position during testing.

The site of inflammation is almost invariably at the teno-osseous junction where the common flexor tendon meets the medial epicondyle at its anterior aspect. The teno-osseous junction is the part where the tendon tissue joins with the bone.

The pain may be felt by the patient further down the arm in the muscle belly of the flexors in the forearm - this pattern of referred pain can sometimes cause confusion.

Treatment of golfers elbow There are three main options for golfers elbow treatment - but keep in mind that the natural history is for spontaneous resolution in the majority of cases

 * Conservative - Avoid provoking activity or change sports equipment (grip size of tennis racket or golf clubs). Short term anti-inflammatory medication and reassure strongly. Consider using an epicondylar clasp for symptom relief.
 * Physiotherapy - reasonable success rate although may require several treatments before substantial improvement is seen. Treatment needs to be backed up by education on stretching and prevention of recurrence.
 * Injection of steroid and local anaesthetic - the most cost effective option. No difference from physiotherapy in long term outcome but works more quickly and is much more cost effective.

Back Pain/Treatment-First Aid

First Aid Treatment for Lower Back Pain

First aid for back pain - treating yourself

For most people, most of the time, lower back pain is easily defeated when it strikes. Here are “Cameron's Rules” for winning the battle with low back pain. They apply to the most common type of low back attack which is pain mainly in the back with some pain in the buttock or thigh. Nerve irritation - shooting pain down the leg as far as the ankle - needs a slightly different plan of campaign.

Remember that most people who suffer from an attack of lower back pain will improve within a week or so - although it can take up to a month to go away completely. Avoid getting into a negative state of mind at the outset and the battle is half won.
 * Rule One - DON'T PANIC!

All attacks of low back pain benefit from an initial short period of rest to allow them the best chance of recovery. It's important to spend as little time as possible in bed as the muscles and bones of the spine will begin to lose some of their natural strength. Forty eight hours is the maximum you should allow yourself and if you can get up sooner then so much the better. Some will find lying on their back most comfortable, others will prefer lying on their side with knees curled up and a pillow between the legs. Try to lie on a firm high bed if possible. Getting up off the floor can be very difficult and rolling like a log out of a high bed is much easier. Keep things like a flask of tea or coffee by the bedside so that you can minimise the time you spend up and about. When you are on your feet then encourage circulation of blood around your spine by gentle back and forward movements.
 * Rule Two - Give your back a chance

Even though a facet joint or a lumbar disc is probably triggering the pain, it is often muscle spasm which keeps the lower back pain going. If you can begin to release this spasm then things will settle more quickly. Some prefer ice, others like heat - I find a combination of the two works well. Use a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel to apply heat for up to twenty minutes. Gently mobilise the spine afterwards by encouraging slow, small back and forward movements and then apply ice. Frozen peas make a better ice pack than ice cubes because the latter melt into a puddle within five or ten minutes. The peas can be re-frozen ready for use again later. Do mark the bag with a pen though - otherwise they may end up accompanying your fish and chips at a later date!
 * Rule Three - Try to ease the spasm

Should you try a back support?

I'm often asked this question by patients and to be truthful it's never easy to be dogmatic about the answer. Many patients with acute back spasms seem to benefit from wearing some kind of support strapping (strapping with magnets in the support seems particularly helpful). But I've yet to find a foolproof way to predict which back pain patients will benefit. These devices are fairly inexpensive however so my advice usually is "try it and see." A good example of this kind of Magnetic Back Support is available from Amazon.com - click on the blue words above to check it out.

I know many of you worry about using pain killers or muscle relaxing tablets in case you become addicted. True, this can be a problem if the medication is taken continuously over a period of months but will not happen with short term use. Try simple paracetamol (tylenol) or aspirin - despite glossy adverts from drug companies there is no evidence that any other drugs are better. If this is not helping in twenty four hours then your doctor should be able to prescribe something a bit stronger.
 * Rule Four - Medication often helps

Take your pain killing medication regularly - every six hours is a good idea. Don't wait for the pain to get bad before you reach for the tablets - this is a classic mistake. It is much easier to stop a pain from coming than it is to get rid of it once it arrives. Don't be a “brave soldier” - you'll get better much quicker if you can break out of the pain cycle.

After an initial time of rest you must get blood flowing around the spine again. The heat and ice described above will help but nothing beats gentle movement - discs depend on it to keep them nourished. When pain strikes then the sooner normal mobility returns the better. The fluid which feeds discs is squeezed in and out as the bones move.
 * Rule Five - Get the circulation going again

If possible, get someone to gently massage the tight muscles of the spine. Then, still lying in bed, begin to move. Lie on your side and to start by curling up the legs towards your tummy. Go as far as you can without causing a lot of pain. Gently unwind again and then go in the opposite direction by slowly arching your back. Again, stop short of causing pain and try to repeat this process six times every hour if you can. You should notice benefit quite quickly. Keep this type of spinal movement going for several days once you are back on your feet again. Even a pain free spine will enjoy this as a warm up routine first thing every morning and a cool down last thing at night. Get into this habit and you may prevent further problems.

If you find it difficult to arrange a lower back massage or if you experience repeated attacks of this type of low back pain then you might want to consider investing in a Shiatsu Massaging Low Back Cushion - I was lucky enough to have one on trial during a recent bout of my own low back pain. What can I say - wonderful, bliss, fantastic - it would be easy to run out of adjectives. Take a look at this type of product on Amazon by following the link above.

Smoking at any time is bad for your back. I know doctors always say that but it's true. The chemicals in the smoke lessen the bodies ability to repair damage and make attacks of back pain more common and longer lasting. Smoking during an acute attack is crazy.
 * Rule Six - look at your lifestyle

Small amounts of alcohol can ease pain and spasm but avoid the temptation to use it as a pain killer. We all know the morning after feeling of thirst that a boozy session can produce. An inflamed disc needs as much water as it can get to speed recovery but alcohol causes fluid loss from the body. Drinking more than a glass or two of wine in a day will slow down the recovery process.

If you are stuck in bed for a day or two then take the opportunity to reassess your overall lifestyle. Are you overweight. Do you really get as much exercise as you should. Make a few resolutions as you lie there and turn the negative experience of back pain into one with a positive long term outcome.

And on the subject of bed - if you are prone to recurrent spells of back ache then you should be taking a close look at your either your bed or your mattress or both. Too firm, too soft? The eternal dilemma for the back pain sufferer. Before spending a fortune on a new bed, take a look at this Foam Memory Mattress from Amazon.com. I know about a dozen patients of mine who have tried it recently with good results. No promises of course but it might be worth a try before spending a fortune on an entire new bed.

Following the simple guidelines above will see most of you well on the way to recovery within two or three days. If you are not getting better by that stage then seek the help of someone trained in “hands on” manual therapy for your back. This could be an osteopath, a chiropractor or a physiotherapist depending on local availability or your preference.
 * Rule Seven - seek help from an expert

Those who don't plan on going to graduate school will find that many employers have never heard of Reed. People who are uncomfortable in tiny classes (often around one dozen) with much discussion may want to look at Category:Universities instead. "Reedies" are hard workers, and in such a small college, you can't get away with slacking off. Since there are no fraternities or sororities, the party scene is not very prevalent. However, illicit drugs are relatively common. Lastly, conservatives probably will not fit in.

College Guide/Early Decision

Early Decision (ED), as the name suggests, is an alternate way of applying to college that occurs earlier than normal. This kind of application is binding, meaning that if you are accepted, you must drop all applications to other colleges. As a result, you can only apply for ED at one college.

The advantage of ED is that it shows a commitment and special interest in the college. This results in a higher acceptance rate.

College Guide/Early Action

Early Action (EA) is an application option given at some colleges that allows the student to apply earlier than usual. This results in an earlier reply from the college. Unlike Early Decision (ED), EA is non-binding, meaning you are free to go to other colleges even if you are accepted.

College Guide/Choosing a College

Your choice of a college will probably be the most important decision you will ever make before becoming an adult. With literally thousands of choices, it is necessary to narrow down the possibilities.

1. How Competitive?
You should separate your college possibilities in three. The first is your "reach schools", one or two schools that you have a low chance of getting in, but would really like to go to. The next group is your "target schools", two to four that you have a pretty good chance of getting in to. The last one or two are the "safety schools", those that you don't really want to go to but would if you had no other choice.

Of course, competitiveness does not ensure a fit. Which is why this list does not end at #1.

2. Public or Private?
Public colleges are usually less expensive, especially if you are a resident of that state. However, diversity may be low, and the best of the best colleges are usually private (with the exception of the UC system).

3a. University or Liberal Arts?
Universities generally have more choices than liberal arts colleges. However, they may feel crowded, and have a high student-teacher ratio. Universities are more likely to give athletic scholarships, and are more likely to have fraternities/sororities. Universities usually have better research facilities, but liberal arts classes are more likely to be taught by a professor and not a TA.

3b. Big or Small?
Universities are generally larger than liberal arts colleges. Bigger means more choice, but it can make you feel lost.

4. Close or Far?
If you go home every winter, spring, and summer break, travel costs can add up if the college is far from home. On the other hand, if you want your parents off your back, or don't like the weather of your hometown, you may want to go to a college that is further from home.

II. In-Depth
Once you've narrowed down the choices to less than a dozen, it's time to look more deeply into each college. This would be a good time to look for facebook groups with students from the colleges you are looking at. Get to know the kind of people that go, and what they see as the strengths and weaknesses of the college.

There are many guides in bookstores and libraries about colleges. Most have one to five pages per college. However, this may not be enough for you. You can literally buy a 150 page book about a specific college from collegeprowler, get a subscription at their website. Amazon sells the individual books for about $10.

Of course, the best thing to do if possible is to actually visit the campus. Most college websites will tell you in their admission section about how to register for a visit. Nothing comes close to this in helping you decide.

III. Web Resources

 * College Toolkit
 * College Board
 * Zinch
 * Student Advisor

College Guide/GPA and Class Rank

GPA
Your GPA is the most important factor that colleges use to accept or not accept students. To get into a competitive college, it's important to get high grades and take challenging courses. This usually means AP, IB, or honors level courses.

There are two common ways of calculating GPA in the US - the "4.0" scale and the "100" scale. The former, which is more common, uses the grade of A as 4.00, A- as 3.67, B+ as 3.33, B as 3.00, B- as 2.67, and so on. Depending on the school, honors, AP, IB, and accelerated classes may be "weighted" to increase the GPA of those who take harder courses.

The latter system is less common, but easier to calculate. Instead of using letter grades, it directly takes into account the numerical value of your grade out of 100.

Your guidance counselor should be able to tell you your GPA.

Using Wikibooks/Inserting Images

Images can be a vital addition to some books, illustrating a vital point or providing a visual aid to advance a reader's understanding. Proper image formatting can dramatically alter a page's appearance.

From Wikipedia's image syntax guide, the general syntax for including an image is:

{name} is the name of the image file, e.g. Commons-logo.svg, either stored here on Wikibooks or on Wikimedia Commons. All images need to have a name specified.

{type} is the type of formatting the image has. "thumb" makes the image a thumbnail, puts it in a box, and resizes the image if it is larger than the thumbnail size value set in the user preferences under the Files tab. The default is 180px, and this is used for people without an account or who are not logged in. "frame" puts the image in a box and doesn't resize it. Not putting in a type will just put the image in without a box at its original size, unless a size is given.

{location} is where the image will be put on the page. "left", "right", and "center" will put the image on either the left or right side of the page, or in the center of the page, respectively, and wrap the text around the image. "none" puts the image under the text and puts following text underneath it. If you don't put in a location, the image is included inline with the text.

{size} is the width of the image in pixels, written as the number of pixels followed by px, E.g. 200px for 200 pixels width. The image will be scaled to maintain aspect ratio and fit into this size. Images can be scaled up or down. If not used, then the image is shown at full size, or if it is a thumbnail, then the maximum size of a thumbnail. With thumbnails, the size option won't work if you try to make the image larger. This occurs even if it is still below the limit for images being resized in thumbnails (180px by default), and the image will remain its normal size in the thumbnail if you try. You can still make the picture smaller, if you want, by using a size less than the image's original width and less than the thumbnail size.

{border} just gives the image a gray line border, by using "border" as one of the options. Not giving a border will leave the image without a border, unless it already has one from the type.

{caption} is the alternate text of the image that you see when you hover the cursor over it. It is also used as the caption text for images using "thumb" or "frame". Wikiformatting can be used in this, E.g. links, but the formatting is removed for the alternate text and only shown in captions. If no caption is given, the filename is used as alternate text, and the caption on a frame or thumb is left blank.

The order of the options shouldn't matter except for the name. Using thumb and frame at the same time will just default to frame. Using multiple locations in the image will make the image use whatever location was given last. The process is the same when using multiple sizes.

Inserting an Image
A plain, unformatted picture can be inserted into a page by typing.

This inserts the image into the page, however, the image appears at full size on the page, and does not integrate correctly with text. This is demonstrated below.

Adding

to the middle of the text makes

 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Duis tellus. Donec ante dolor, iaculis nec, gravida ac, cursus in, eros. Mauris vestibulum, felis et egestas ullamcorper, purus nibh vehicula sem, eu egestas ante nisl non justo. Fusce tincidunt, lorem nec dapibus consectetuer, leo orci mollis ipsum, eget suscipit eros purus in ante. Mauris at ipsum vitae est lacinia tincidunt. Maecenas elit orci, gravida ut, molestie non, venenatis vel, lorem. Sed lacinia. Suspendisse potenti. Sed ultricies cursus lectus. In id magna sit amet nibh suscipit euismod. Integer enim. Donec sapien ante, accumsan ut, sodales commodo, auctor quis, lacus. Maecenas a elit lacinia urna posuere sodales. Curabitur pede pede, molestie id, blandit vitae, varius ac, purus.

As you will agree, this does not look right. The text is poorly aligned with the image and the image is very large.

Placing the Image
By altering the image code slightly we can determine the positioning of the image on the page. There are several options available for us to choose from, depending on the desired layout of the page we are creating.

Example One, Right Align, Wrapped Text

''<Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Duis tellus. Donec ante dolor, iaculis nec, gravida ac, cursus in, eros. Mauris vestibulum, felis et egestas ullamcorper, purus nibh vehicula sem, eu egestas ante nisl non justo. Fusce tincidunt, lorem nec dapibus consectetuer, leo orci mollis ipsum, eget suscipit eros purus in ante.'' ''Mauris at ipsum vitae est lacinia tincidunt.

GtkRadiant

Attention: While this is a book or tutorial about mapping and level design in GtkRadiant, which should be similar for all games that use the id tech 3 or id tech 4 engines, there are still differences like what textures or models are available etc. etc. Some games also have custom features which may not work with other games. This book uses GtkRadiant to map for the game Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy so if you are following this book, but using a different game, the textures or models in the examples may not be available, which means that you have to use something different.

If you need help
If you don't understand something in this book, for example a word or a procedure, or simply need any other help using this program, just write about it on this book's talk page. I will then add the thing you don't understand, either as word to the glossary, or if it's error messages, I will add a Error messages section where I will list the messages that people report and solutions to them.

If you don't get an answer there, try contacting one of the authors of this book ("Yzmo" or "Darth NormaN") on a Jedi Academy related mapping forum.

If you want to help
If you know a bit about mapping, which isn't covered yet, you can help this book by writing about it. In case you don't know what to write about, just go for one of the red links.

College Guide/Choosing Classes

English
You should take an English class all four years of high school. If possible, take the AP Language and Composition class in ../Junior year/, and AP Literature in ../Senior year/.

Math
Try to take the most challenging course that you can handle. A B- in Algebra 2 looks better on your transcript than an A- in Math 3. You should take 4 years of math, too.

Science
Try and take 3 years of science, 2 of which have labs. If you are planning on majoring in a science field, take science lab courses all 4 years.

History
Colleges would like to see at least two years of history - one of world history, and the other of American History. Again, this depends on your intended major - political science majors should probably take 3 years of history (1 AP) and AP Government in Senior year.

Foreign Language
Most colleges require two years of foreign language, if they require a foreign language at all. However, this does not mean you should stop learning a second language after ../Sophomore year/. Learning Spanish, Arabic, or Chinese can take you to places and jobs you never could've otherwise had.

Electives
If you enjoyed a specific elective in middle school, stick with it! Especially if it is in the performing arts, this can be a way to show your talent. Music electives impress colleges more than non-academic electives (such as woodworking or pottery), but unless you are very skilled at music, an academic elective (computer science, journalism) may be a better choice.
