User talk:Mirwin/Task Directives and Responses and Results and Status

1830 today + 1 ... Appointment to play freerails with my nephew Mirwin 06:22, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Read "A Diamond Age" by Neil Stephensen as per committments documented below:Hi Mirwin,

Do you like to start a reading club with me? I was thinking about a social sciences related topic, but it can be something else as well if you are interested.--Daanschr 11:19, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Daanschr, sorry to take so long to respond to your invitation. I am not big on Social Sciences but if something were proposed related to social dynamics of small isolated groups I could participate at this time.  Mirwin 23:57, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

 * That is a topic, which relates to anthropology or sociology, i guess. Something in which i am not familiar with as well. But, that makes as equals. I will look in the databases of the libraries that i'm a member of, to see if they have something of this topic. I presume that you are referring to Wikiversity and the reading clubs as small isolated groups? In that case, we could read some marketing, networking and communication books as well.--Daanschr 09:43, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Daanschr, an update, I found an excellent prospect for a book for our reading project.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age  I am going to look for proper places to add it into your reading club directory now.  Then I have to figure out how to purchase it.  I am still buoycotting Amazon.com over their silly one push button patent so I will probably stop by a local bookseller next week and order it.  Probably take a few weeks before I can start reading but I think it is important to help local merchants survive.  I live in an economically depressed rural area and we keeping losing our new and used bookstores.  Mirwin 01:06, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I will take a look at the book.
 * Interesting to hear about a backward rural area. I live in a country, which can be seen as one big city. But here the bookstores are also dissapearing. A famous Dutch biologist said that the Kalverstraat in Amsterdam used to have several bookstores in the 1960s. Nowadays these bookstores are all replaced by shops dedicaded to clothing and looks. Small shops are often replaced by major warehouses and the last ones are rapidly following eachother up. The streets in my city, Leiden used to have shops that had lasted for decades, even centuries. And now the average shop hold out for an average two years. I guess it has a lot to do with immigration. Dutch shopkeepers are replaced by many muslim immigrants, but also Greeks. And now we got the Polish invasion of immigrants, who will probably start shops of their own as well. Most homeless people are now Polish in Leiden.
 * Outside Holland their are also initiatives to keep local merchandise. Germany has many regional coins, which replaces the euro for payment, this to introduce a local autarkic economy of small farmers and local shopkeepers.Daanschr 09:54, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

 * The book seems very interesting. I have never heard of it. I would like to know more about the difference between victorian and confucian thinking. I know a lot about victorian thinking, but hardly anything on confucianism.--Daanschr 09:58, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

I have the book from the library. Already started to read some pages in the train.--Daanschr 20:48, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

I am reading Thucydides with Erkan Yilmaz. We try to structure our book reading by setting a date for discussing certain literature. Perhaps we could do the same. Since the book is a novel, i think it would be best to read the entire book first and discuss about it later. What do you think?

I have paid for the book and it is antipated by mail a week from this friday .. that would be ... today is tuesday 22Nov07 so plus wednesday,thursday,friday would be 25 and 7 for 32 December 07. Eureka! Holiday no delivery till Jan 2 earliest ... if that is on saturday ... mail will be running on monday so .... I expected arrival on the 4 Jan 2008 plus or minus a couple of days according to aggreement with local bookcycler (she is my supplier of used books as well and buyback profitable or remarketable used books). Same delay as for weekend so expected delivery is still Fourth Jan, 2008. I agree with you lets each enjoy the book in our own way entirely first and then we can discuss our thought regarding the author's efforts and how they impacted our previous understanding with the living universe all around us. So unless I hear back I figure we got an agreed approach in will I should be able to meet my committment to start reading by 4 Jan 2008 and I am usually quick reader when interested. Been long time since I have been in a book reading club ... in fact I think it was literature classes in College about two decades ago so I should have no longer generating motivation to get finished within two weeks. I intend to be done and substantially closed out with this book reading adventure by NLT Feb, 2008. Those are my mile stones that I intend to keep to myself. If you choose to set your some specific metrics I would be happy to hear about them and work together so we both accomplish all of our individual and mutual overlapping intentions to the extent feasible given unavoidable external influences. Thanks! Mirwin 23:47, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Lunar Boom Town/Task Requests

Role Playing Referees Now Needed

 * DARPA funds dispenser. - Fixed annual budget for various applications. You compare the merit of grant requests and allocate as fairly and wisely as possible either arbitrarily or increasingly based upon DARPA's actual public priorities.

 * Venture Capital Fund managers - Review proposals and then invest funds or feedback as you feel best. Perhaps later as more data collects and some automation is possible we can make this into an actual investment opportunity where micromanagers are actually attempting to manage small investments.  Might set it up with play money or stock option exchanges, etc. Some further research into coalition licensing is necessary before feasibility can be contemplated.

Role Play Methods to Create Mission Checklists, Operational Scenarios, and Scripts
1 Desired: Role play methods to create mission checklists and use formal diagnostics tracking to index and resolve outstanding issues and bugs.

Proposal: Envision a play mode of a Dungeon Master laying out a role playing chunks in parallel with approximately geared synchonizers. At first we will link the video game with manual interface points but soon I hope we will have intelligent objects in virtual space interconnected to teleoperation consoles and sensor nets.
 * I am currently preparing a cargo run to the moon with my remote nephew to create data for intelligent objects useful in cisLunarFreighterCargo_Imports Mirwin 14:26, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Completed a distributed session of JFreerails (an independent free game available for use as a component, has compatible GPL licence) with my sister 40, (myself 47), nephew (7) playing two different simultaneous games on South America map. Neither remote location interacting with sourceforge interlock?exchange would spawn a network server so we could play same game.  Both machines (mike workshop), (zanny on mothers system, probably on 4x4ft coffeetable already designed lunar rental bungalow in future sessions.  Had one session failure {insert link to bug analysis and report here}

 * Feedback for freerails developers. The long delay (estimate half second?) between clicking on the object in graphical interface was disconcerting to me and made activities difficult but I ultimately found it an effective compromise at this time.  One simply cannot expect instantaneous response from anything to do with massive equipment such as trains. Sister really liked the five speed settings. more later.  Also, this will be useful in prototyping teleoperation of space equipment from Earth.   Need special settings for distant locations such as Mars ... delay is about 30 minutes?

Set up a Registration Process
For example: Virtual Airport. A commercially defunct game that has been volunteered into the commons when effort becomes available to port 3DSMax models into the commons via sourceforfe or other online file managment service in appropriate formats applicable to Blender, Art of Illusion, Gimp, or other free/open source CGI (computer generated imagery) tools.

How registration works both for and against us. Mirwin 10:30, 28 November 2007 (UTC) early participant Please may I have an early game disk?

yes, I have some components I will sent to you if you register now Mirwin 10:30, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

thanks mister!

thank you for doing me this favor over and out Mirwin 10:30, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Various possibilities: No,yes but, maybe, maybe not, why?, why not?

Pay somebody X when received convincing arguments online that parent is willing to accept legal responsibilites for child and accept package. > VAP CD Parent acknowledges that all reasonal precautions have been taken that anybody can figure out to accomplish will only voluntees and agrees to sporadically review ongoing ethical analysis discussions or finding or recertify every 2 weeks etc.

Trick is the loop equations must all resolve though various logic checking we program into the system. In worst case the community trust metrics raise and fall tripping various relays that mandate certain things happen or else teams, events, etc. can and will shutdown with ripple impacts as far reaching as is profitable to calculate and pursue. Obviously the exchanges and the idicators used will be critical to the entire community.

Random Thoughts regarding Task Assignments

 * 1) Task Assignment Exchange
 * tied into advogato style trust metric --- owners of facilities and other vested parties automatically ripple trust out from core group of seeds started but not finished with ... although with enough seeds somebody will find a spot they like and become a fixture. If cannot overthrow then must fork and tailor and develop own capability not steal somebody else's life
 * exchange vows in incremented negotiations until boundary conditions are met and a proposal is accepted and acknowledge by all core participants with at least a heads up to other effected parties.
 * work through various mechanisms and start at nanolevel including pieces anybody can manage if they want to

Talk:Poisson–Boltzmann profile for an ion channel

General announcements
This resource was used as part of the lecture and practical session on electrostatics calculations for the Wellcome Trust and Systems Biology Doctoral Training Centre postgraduate course on computational biochemistry, University of Oxford (Michaelmas 2007). The lecture is on WebLearn at http://tinyurl.com/282dfd (restricted access; a similar lecture without access restriction is in the resource near the top).

Feel free to go to lunch as soon as you have entered your result! I hope you all had fun. Please fill in the feedback form!

There will be no debrief session after lunch. But as the results come in to the table below, think about the possible sources of error and the general shape of the profile. See virtual debrief session below. To get in touch with me by email, look me up at University of Oxford contact search. – Kaihsu 12:40, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

APBS issues
APBS is installed in /usr/apps/apbs-0.5.1-ia32/bin/apbs. You can make an alias for it in the bash shell: alias apbs=/usr/apps/apbs-0.5.1-ia32/bin/apbs Then just type apbs, followed by the parameters, to use it. Or, you can add it to your path (the environment variable PATH ).

Use this input file: nAChR.in. Do not copy the input file from the PDF file: it is truncated!

PDB2PQR settings
Use all the default settings on the PDB2PQR server: do not change anything! This ensures that your colleagues' results are comparable. In case PDB2PQR does not work, get this one from WebLearn: 1OED.pqr.

Results
You might want to report your results here, in addition to plotting it with your colleagues:

Virtual debrief session
If someone is keen, they can post a plot of the results (using gnuplot, xmgrace , or any other plotting software) as they come in.

What are the possible sources of error in this profile? How do we estimate the error? Has anybody tried to (carefully and knowledgeably) change the grid-point numbers?

What are the implications of this profile? (To start, which side is extracellular and which cytoplasmic? 30 Å or 120 Å?) Think the distinction between thermodynamics and kinetics.

We have a set of scripts in our lab to automate the pore-scanning process in parallel on a compute cluster. Get in touch if you would like to take a look (and possibly improve it!).

– Kaihsu 12:40, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Code for automation
I wrote some Python code to automate this process. The job submission requires a queuing system called Grid Engine. Copyright © 2008 Kaihsu Tai. Moral rights asserted (why?). Hereby licensed under either GFDL or GNU General Public License at your option.

Obviously, you will have to change the parameters in the driver-functions ( main ) to fit the purposes of this tutorial. That is the exercise for the reader! – Kaihsu 16:12, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Also, you will need to generate the PQR file, along with a file containing a list of the coordinates for the sample points. The script submits the job to a queueing system called Grid Engine, but you can submit the job by hand if you do not have this installed. – Kaihsu 11:04, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Additionally, you will need to change the ion species. – Kaihsu 17:03, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

See also Two-dimensional Poisson–Boltzmann profile for an ion channel. – Kaihsu 13:07, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Qhapaq Runa Simi The Quechua Language
Runa Simi .. .

Quechua is a South American language. Quechua has often been grouped with Aymara as a larger Quechumaran linguistic stock, largely because about a third of its vocabulary is shared with Aymara. This proposal is controversial, however.

It is important to know that the word "Quechua" or "Qheswa" is not the real name of the language of the Incas. The proper title to their language given by the Incas was "Qhapaq Runasimi", "The Great Language of the people" (Qhapaq = great, Runa = People, Simi = language or mouth).

Please write here the translation of the text below in Quechua.

Quechua (Runa Simi) is a Native American language of South America. It was the language of the Inca Empire, and is today spoken in various dialects (Quechuas) by some 10 million people throughout South America, including Peru, south-western and central Bolivia, southern Colombia and Ecuador, north-western Argentina and northern Chile. It is the most widely spoken language of the indigenous peoples of the Americas.

Quechua is a very regular agglutinative language, as opposed to a fusional one. Its normal sentence order is SOV (subject-object-verb). Its large number of suffixes changes both the overall significance of words and their subtle shades of meaning. Notable grammatical features include bipersonal conjugation (verbs agree with both subject and object), evidentiality (indication of the source and veracity of knowledge), a topic particle, and suffixes indicating who benefits from an action and the speaker's attitude toward it.

About me
Gbaor as a WikiGnome At the beginning I started as a WikiGnome, as many of other wikipedians/versitans. Just fixing links and adding interwikies. Here at the 'versity I started with fixing double redirects. Even now I like to do some gnome work...

Gbaor as a WikiDragon If everything goes according to the plan, I would like to become also a (lesser) dragon. Content pages and quality contributions are the most important, particularly in developing communities like Wikiversity is. So I want to add my little piece...

Gbaor in the real life To describe it with one word: busy. I am a researcher with some teaching experience. Otherwise just a humble wikiversitan (former wikipedian) involved in animal breeding (endangered breeds of livestock) and statistics (survival analysis).

Quechua, Runa Simi is a South American language or family of languages.

Quechua is spread over a vast region of South America.

The lessons in this method are in Southern Quechua spelling. Some texts will give information upon dialect pronunciations (with the adapted spelling for this context).

Talk:Business finance

Finance never made much sense to me even though I studied engineering economics, learned to count money (stacks of material treasures such as coins of copper, generic gold, Apollo Space dollars. Later, on the job I learned government bean counting as a U.S.G. civil servant.  Needless to say I was surprised when I started my own business to discover I had forgotten how to keep books even though I could still balance a checkbook since mom taught me how when I was first entering high school and then I aced the personal finance class in high school.  Later, after building my own almost successful 12 person person firm that peaked at approximately 500k$ I went bankrupt either because money is compressible (I thought the caculations were excessive because I did not understand that money and value are totally different things. I will be back to see what other insights this class has that I have avoided. I am interested in investing in the stock market because I was born in 61 and I wish to be able to retire somewhat comfortably ..... the stock market scares me because I do not yet really grasp why I should ship my money threw New York for the benefit of others rather than myself. For now I pay as I go and I can at least usually remember that there are people whom I truly love as myself and whom I know love me in the same responsible way. Mirwin 19:01, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Consider the analogy. Cash is like "water weight" in dieting.  If your goal is to lose weight, then just quit drinking water and hoard it.  This was a very beautiful post because it is tough to explain to people why a business degree isn't actually useless.

 * Physics and science courses are straightforward. Business education teaches you to understand this complex stuff you have said.  I hope you took all your money out of the stock market as of the time you posted this.  You would have doubled your money.  65.41.151.165 10:57, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

2nd welcome
Hi Gbaor. I've been watching your recent contributions and am very impressed by the work you are beginning to do for Wikiversity. So here's a second very warm welcome from me! -- McCormack 08:04, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I think this is the best Wiki project so I plan to contribute as much as I can. --Gbaor 08:10, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Ditto. Glad you are here! However I am curious. Are you planning on tagging everything small or short as "stubs"? We tend to operate a little differently from Wikipedia. There are many types of learning resources that might remain relatively small yet complete. A stub label or category would be inappropriate for these resource modules. Mirwin 08:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Just reviewed your user summary. SB_Johnny has a new project proposal under discussion at Colloquium (accessible from main menu on right) involving goats and medicine validation you may be interested in.  Hope to soon you there soon.  Mirwin 08:18, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Stub templates were created that we can divide the topics somehow (something more specific than the "stub" label). At the first step stub types for major schools, according to Schools were created. This page is not completely up to date however (Portal:Life Sciences is not listed at all). More info at: Wikiversity talk:Stub So.. To summarize it: With these stub types we can identify stubs for each portal, where they can be easily found and further improved.--Gbaor 08:29, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * One more thing... I wanted to add the special stub template only for articles, which are already marked as stubs, whit the general template. --Gbaor 09:58, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

living on earth
Living on Earth is scheduled to visit Ladd Obs. on Tue. Feb. 5th. Not sure how long it will take to edit the interview and broadcast it, but I'll let you know. I will add a section at Radio Discussion when it is online. --mikeu talk 13:01, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * ok I will definitely check it :) --Gbaor 13:20, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Living on Earth pagemove
Hi Gboar,

Mike and I were chatting on IRC this morning trying to figure out the best way to keep all this organized. I moved what was on the main page to Radio Discussion/Living on Earth/2008.1.18, and we might end up making subpages for each segment (so they can be categorized, linked individually to other pages, etc.). Thanks for the work on the cloned animals segment! --SB_Johnny | talk 15:26, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Just a small question about this... Where is the place we can discuss each topic? Under the "questions " section? Like here? This could be a good chance to pull some people over here to discuss (maybe even from WP), and it should be clear, where to leave comments. Controversial topics always attracts people, what is our advantage now :). These pages are meant as "standard" discussion pages about specified topics, right? --Gbaor 18:49, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Re
Hello, and sorry, but I'm rarely here present, because I'm often on pl-wikibooks.

If you would like to contact me, your best bet is my talk page on PL-Wikibooks, which I visit regularly. Currently Wikiversity isn't my accord priority wiki-project. Kasia1986 09:03, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, good to know. Also if you have something, just drop me a note). Cheers! --Gbaor 11:32, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

stubs
Thank you. I will investigate and use those. --Remi 09:28, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Wrong redirects!
Please watch what you're doing... you set at least some of the bloom clock redirects to the wrong pages! A lot of those are template-related, please leave it to me because I have to do a bunch more pagemoves before altering the template and deleting the redirects. --SB_Johnny | talk 14:00, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Good to know. I just correted them, as suggested at double redirects page. I'll leave the Bloom Clock related redirects to you. --Gbaor 14:12, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the issue stems from when I first created the global key pages, and afterwards someone pointed out that these were actually only "global" in regards to temperate regions (tropical and monsoon keys will need a different set of them). I could definitely use some help in deleting though once the snag is fixed... if would you consider being a Custodian, I would happily mentor you. --SB_Johnny | talk 14:38, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I thought about being a custodian, but I haven't got enough time to engage in it right now. Maybe I will have more time during summer... Then I will definitely take advantage of this offer :) --Gbaor 12:56, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd support the custodian move too. A lot of custodians aren't in fact very active - they have their phases. It's not a full time job! On the other hand, perhaps best to be a probationary custodian in a month when you've got some time. I think what counts in your case is your clear interest in maintenance tasks. So when you're ready for a nomination, just tell us. --McCormack 06:10, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for support and trust :) Will do... --Gbaor 06:16, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Your main page comment
Hi Gbaor. Many thanks for your feedback about the community box. Unfortunately I didn't understand quite what the problem is. Perhaps you could show me a screenshot of what you find wrong? Or redescribe? What you can also do is (1) view the source, (2) copy the source, (3) stick the source into a new page (twice, for before and after versions), (4) play with the before and after versions to show what you mean. Thanks. --McCormack 12:38, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * So here is what I meant: Please compare Image:Main page - left alternative.JPG and Image:Main page - center alternative.JPG. I changet the first letter to small "s" to differentiate it from the original. --Gbaor 06:05, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I had already looked. You are being watched! The problem was that your screen is narrower. So I modified the image size down from 200px to 180px, which should solve the problem. --McCormack 06:06, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You should increase the size, not to decrease it, I think. Now there are 4 words, instead of 1 at the left side of the picture. On those pictures I uploaded there is only a part of my screen, so it is not narrower. I am using Firefox, screen resolution 1024*768. --Gbaor 06:15, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * If I increase the size, it will make your screen OK, but the screens of those with higher resolutions will begin to have problems. Decreasing the image size is the only way to minimize the number of users who get the "stuck word" problem. It might be sensible if I try 160px. --McCormack 06:23, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I see. But this was the reason I suggested to change "left" to "center". Therefore you can keep 200px (160 px is probably quite small on higher resolutions than mine) and the problem will be solved for all resolutions. --Gbaor 06:32, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, possibly a problem here. The centering of the POTD is for artistic reasons - i.e. the picture is the main thing you're supposed to look at. The other three boxes are primarily information boxes, where the artwork serves a very subordinate, decorative purpose. If you put the pictures in the centre and the text beneath, people may get the wrong message and start looking at the picture rather than the text. At least, that's the thinking behind it. --McCormack 06:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

The dark side
Hi again, Gbaor. Why does "dark side" link to the main page ;-) Do you have an alternative design? Would you like to join the main page task force? (Ooops - perhaps "force" was the wrong word...) --McCormack 12:51, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi! The "Dark Side" refers to Wikiversity as whole, not just to the main page. I just picked up an idea by Erkan Yilmaz from here (in the middle of the thread) and combined it with a quote from a not-so-good-guy. Speaking about the main page... I had a suggestion here. And the same left-center thing could be considered in case of Main Page/Feature 0.5. Otherwise the new page is great, but I have no time to develop it :). --Gbaor 05:12, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comments. I'll leave the centre/left issue until a time when you have more time, then! But feel welcome to keep thinking about the main page and get involved at some stage. --McCormack 05:33, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Good edit
Hi, Gbaor. I noticed you edited one of "my" templates recently. I checked it out and reckoned it was a really good edit. Can't remember which template any more, but just wanted to say "thanks"! --McCormack 06:11, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You are welcome! I checked my contributions, and I don't know which was it either, but never mind :) --Gbaor 05:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Some stuff you were doing with Template:Gateways. --McCormack 06:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Psychology
Hi Gbaor. Thanks for picking that redirect up; I've fixed it. Appreciate it. -- Jtneill - Talk 10:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You are welcome! --Gbaor 11:21, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Stubs
Hi Gbaor. Thanks for re-stubbing many pages I dumped with. That's opened my eyes a bit more to subject-specific stubs :) -- Jtneill - Talk 12:39, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Stub sorting rulez, bro! :D We will have to review the existing stub templates however. Most of them were created by me en mass, according to existing schools at that time. There are few "pearls" like Computer-Forensics-and-Security-stub, which leads to School:Computer forensics and security, a page which will hardly have any reasonable stub page in the near future. These unusable stub templates should be deleted I think. --Gbaor 12:48, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Naming
Hi. :) As I understand it, "Engineering and technology" would be correct, not "Engineering and Technology". Moving this may require the moving of subpages as well. --Remi 00:35, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Custodianship
As discussed, I've put you forward. You may wish to add your name to the "how to be a Wikimedia sysop" page as well. --McCormack 06:19, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Mikeu has given you provisional sysop status. You can now add yourself as "probationary custodian" to WV:STAFF. --McCormack 12:18, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I will be off tomorrow, but after later I will fully explore the possibilities :) --Gbaor 12:36, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Staff is in alphabetical order ;-) --McCormack 12:49, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I thought it will be OK, while it is a sortable table, but now I moved it :) --Gbaor 12:58, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

OpenStat
Hi and thanks for your message. Nothing bad there. It was just that the subpages all have to be moved individually, and there's a lot of them. Make a list of the subpages first. Then move the subpages. Then move the parent page. That's all. If you think you've done something wrong, then the best thing is always just to undo or rollback what you just did, and try again. --McCormack 13:34, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Pagemoves can be also rollbacked? I didn't see such an option, but I was in an extreme hurry. One more thing: Is there a special page that generates/shows all subpages of a resource?--Gbaor 18:02, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * See: http://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&from=Statistics%3A&namespace=104 . The rollback should be visible in the history - have a look around and experiment with the rollback tool on your user pages. --McCormack 20:29, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

No such page...
I cannot find the GIMP page you say exists. Do you have the right link? 17:44, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I proposed to merge Topic:GIMP and GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) - both exists. Did you mean these? There is also a page called Gimp basics, but this is not a subject of a merge (should be on a separate page). --Gbaor 18:13, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * System seems to have been acting up. This morning, I was still seeing your early revision from yesterday.  (  ).  Now I can see both pages.  Yes, they should be combined. Robert Elliott 02:56, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Checkuser
Hi Gbaor, there were set up now 2 new pages for the voting, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) PS: Tag a learning project with completion status !! 21:48, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Page deletions
Hi

At current there are alot of un-needed pages for my section. I have looked for ways to delete, but have not found any. I will be uploading a new course over the next few days, and was preparing it by "cleaning up" all the other pages in the section, leaving only the "course pages" (Kernewek Onan, Dew etc.) and the home page (Topic:Cornish).

I have never seen that feature. Thanks TEL
 * Just a few things if you don't mind ;) 1. Use the ~ four tildes for signature, 2. you can flag pages for deletion with delete or deletion request, or use the page mentioned at you talk page. The we will know which pages are not needed any more... In case you leave just a text message, it could be missed by custodians. Have fun with WV! Good to have ya here!--Gbaor 11:59, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Categories
Thanks for fixing so many categories to use sentence case. -- Jtneill - Talk 22:01, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You are welcome! It is my job, after all... :) More will be done with time --Gbaor 11:33, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Maintenance Categories
The real titles of the categories don't always match the visible names. I've corrected them now. --McCormack 11:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you! ;)--Gbaor 12:52, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

viruses
I like the way they do things at Wikipedia's Category:Viruses. --JWSchmidt 15:38, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your work on keeping Wikiversity categories in order. --JWSchmidt 19:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Redirect hunting
Heya Gbaor! Sorry for the delay getting back to you... didn't notice your message because there was another new one right after it. The unneeded redirects can be found here: redirects appear in italics. What needs to be done is to check them and see if any have no pages linking to them, and if there are none, it's safe to delete. --SB_Johnny | talk 10:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * :-o There is a LOT of work to do... I am in the middle of WV's categorization system review, but I will work also on this. Both activities will be more interesting this way. :) --Gbaor 11:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Heh, I'll get with you later about bloom clock categories... half have been done improperly :-(. --SB_Johnny | talk 11:57, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, for now I skipped them, because I didn't want to mess it up. When I finish the marking of categories to merge, than we will storm the Bloom Clock category system (There is also few Fruit clock categories... Skipped them also...) --Gbaor 13:27, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I think I'm just going to make a temlate for the categories, actualy, so that it's simpler for "non-bloom-clockers" to know what to do. I had asked User:Terra to leave them as redlinks (so we could know how to find them later), but apparently the urge was irresistable :). --SB_Johnny | talk 18:42, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * those redirects were hunted down :)--Gbaor 13:12, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yay! Thanks! Now I can finish the cleanup a bit easier (still need a bunch of pagemoves :P). --SB_Johnny | talk 11:22, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Wikiversity Film School - Status and Things to do...
Next week, I hope to prepare an overview of the current status of Wikiversity Film School and what needs to be done. Robert Elliott 04:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Please drop me a line, when the to-do list will be ready--Gbaor 04:37, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you do bots? i.e., Can you track all the links used for a course? (This would find all the current active pages which could be catagorized in a special way.) Robert Elliott 11:54, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * If all the pages are categorized, you should be able to use some DynamicPageList scripts to find the most recently edited pages. Unfortunately you'll have to do this for each category used, unless you're using redundant categorization (for example, all plant profiles in the bloom clock are categorized as Category:Bloom Clock Plants, even though they are also in subcategories of that category, which allows tracking of the most recently edited pages in that project). --SB_Johnny | talk 12:00, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I am not proficient with bots. But in the future I definitely want to learn about them and subsequently to create one. But now I have no time to do this. --Gbaor 12:51, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Film School Status - June 2008
 * Here is a quick overview of the status.

 * Work in progress
 * The film school is about 75% done for the first part. As you might guess, trying to rough out all the parts of a full film school is a very long process as it keeps growing and growing.

 * Originally, there were four courses.

 * The first course (Basic Filmmaking) got rewritten with lots of new pages.

 * The second course (Film Editing) got simplified.

 * The last two courses on Film Scoring got combined. That is the film scoring course for filmmakers and the film scoring course for musicians is now one course but later they need to be broken back up again into two courses.

 * The future courses are only a simple outline with little detail.

 * Nothing deleted
 * Because of the way that Wikiversity is structured, old pages are still out there. All have useful info that must be incorporated into the currently active pages.

 * What needs to be done now
 * Therefore, someone needs to walk through all the links and catagorize all the current pages as "currently active" and the other pages need to be listed as "to be recycled.

 * New feature
 * Now I am creating student pages. This is a new concept proposed by Cormaggio.  All of the students work is placed in one page which for now is the User page.

 * New greeting page
 * Contrary to what most people think, I have only had two students who had any interest in learning the Wiki Programming Language (or whatever the correct name is). Therefore, it is NOT productive for you to add the normal greeting template instructing the film student to begin creating pages.

 * A special introduction needs to be written for film students to help them understand how it all works for film students. I am still working on this. Robert Elliott 14:53, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

What needs to be done now
I have created 2 templates to mark active (FS-active page) and inactive (FS-old page) pages. Feel free to modify them as you see fit. Now there is a question, how will one know, if the page is active or inactive... (See also Category:Film School Maintenance)--Gbaor 05:44, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

BCP Categories
Hi again. I made the template, should you want to delve into the BCP cats. For the genera (Special:PrefixIndex/Category:BCP/Genus), see Bcp-genuscat. For the families (Special:PrefixIndex/Category:BCP/Genus), see Bcp-familycat. No hurry, but if you're going to try to categorize those, the templates will be by far the most effective way to do it :-). --SB_Johnny | talk 14:14, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I tried it on Category:BCP/Genus/Abelia, please check if it was used correctly. Also made minor changes in templates. The families are in Special:PrefixIndex/Category:BCP/Family, I assume... I want finish the pending categorization and redirect-deletion process first (and also some real-world-work), and after it I will jump on this :)--Gbaor 05:07, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

offline
"create learning material for offline use" <-- I'm not sure what you have in mind...do you mean something like software that could be distributed by DVD? --JWSchmidt 15:14, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well... I have no specific needs at the moment, but I meant something like that. I just thought about a possibility to create an educational resource/course/learning material, which will be functional without internet connection (on CD/DVDs or CD/DVD images). So I will probably need a free and easy to use software package for this purpose. Even better with fancy design of the end product. Right now I am just looking for possibilities in this area. --Gbaor 10:22, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Curriculum
Do the active participants wish to collaborate on an overall curriculum?
 * Hi! I am in the middle of some maintenance procedures, and also the time that I could spend here at WV is limited. Count me in, but you can expect only minor contributions from me. --Gbaor 16:27, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The first minor change --Gbaor 16:32, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Map of humanity
Thanks for the link - I like it, thankyou, it will be useful/interesting for use with students. FYI I found the high-res accesible OK via http://www.slgcomic.com/product-exec/product_id/589/nm/Map_of_Humanity (using Firefox). -- Jtneill - Talk 05:23, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, they left off Wikiversity! :) -- Jtneill - Talk 05:26, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * True indeed! Just where to put it? To the "Freedom" part of "Wisdom isle"? To the link you sent me: The smallest letters are still not visible. But thx for the post! --Gbaor 06:59, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Custodianship
Hi Gabor. You've done a good job as probationary custodian. Just checked out your dates. The 30-days is technically over on 26th June. However I'm not very punctual - I'll kind of get round to writing a mentor's report over the weekend. No great reason to hurry. --McCormack 06:42, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * So the actual nomination will be on 29th or 30th June? Could be... From (7th) 8th to 12nd July I will be offline due to (deserved?) holiday, but there is a 5 day period for discussions around nomination. --Gbaor 06:47, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll bear these dates in mind. --McCormack 07:42, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

new arrival from Wikipedia
Hi Gbaor. I'm also from Wikipedia. Been working over there for about a week. An editor suggested I bring my mKR article over here. My question of the moment is: are there any procedures, tools, etc. at Wikiversity that are different from Wikipedia? Rhmccullough 11:46, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Good to have you here :) Basically everything is the same like on WP... I don't know if the Quiz (help, help-simplified) extension is there... Maybe you can use it. Not tool-related difference is, that we accept original research here, as you probably know. And we are much more friendlier :) (Note to other users: Anything else?) --Gbaor 12:08, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Is this going to be a textbook? --SB_Johnny | talk 14:30, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Category Update
I have re-categorized all the pages that were mistakenly categorized as Category:Medicine. I have categorized all uncategorized categories and all uncategorized pages in the field of medicine. I will now work through the subcategories and I think there will be nominations for merges, deletions etc. If I have missed something along the way, please don't hesitate to inform me. Donek (talk) - Go raibh mile maith agaibh 00:22, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Good work! It looks much better now :) Nominate pages for merge and deletion, as you see fit. I know there are plenty of short pages, mainly between LMCCs. Before you nominate a page for deletion, consider its possible future use (i.e. mark it with medicine-stub or main welcome instead of deletion) --Gbaor 08:44, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

 * No problem. Can you explain what LMCC means? Donek (talk) - Go raibh mile maith agaibh 10:38, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't know for sure, but probably an abbreviation for Licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada (LMCC) used by the user who created those pages. These should be merged to corresponding pages without that abbreviation or if no other pages link to that page, than could be deleted. To check this, use the "What link here" on the left side of the screen.--Gbaor 13:12, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree with the merge idea and I will check the links too. Thanks again. One more thing. Is EMR the american equivalent of the British paramedic?Donek (talk) - Go raibh mile maith agaibh 14:02, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily. Paramedics are emergency medical responders, but not all EMRs are paramedics.--Gbaor 05:01, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Custodianship.
Hi Gbaor. Congratulations on being approved. Please find on the right your next reading task on the path to super-custodianhood ;-) --McCormack 16:37, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I am not sure if one question was not answered yet @ Discussion and questions. (Perhaps you could answer the user then on his talk page ?)
 * Thank you! :D ; question answered --Gbaor 10:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Can I also belatedly add some Aussie congratulations - goodonyamate. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:50, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

German+French
About German + French: I also would like to do more in that area, but let's say am missing a few active people. Would you be interested in creating multimedia ? e.g. an audio file with a French participant to create a German dialogue: German I. Drop me anytime a msg, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 17:06, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * OK count me in. But please note that I know absolutely nothing in French... But I'll give it a try :) Next week I will be offline, and after it we could start to work on language-learning materials. My contribution intensity will largely depend on my duties, though. --Gbaor 10:35, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, see you then. btw: do you use the chat ? That would be better for coordination things. Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 07:53, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Linear correlation
You are keen! :) Some things:
 * You can also go to slideshare and see the presentation: http://www.slideshare.net/jtneill/linear-correlation. From here, you can also download the presentation file, and this includes the notes
 * re Slide 43 (infant mortality / number of physicians), there is this note:
 * Image source: Howell (Fundamentals): Why is infant mortality positively linearly associated with the number of physicians (with the effects of GDP removed)?] – because more doctors tend to be deployed to areas with higher infant mortality (socio-economic status aside). Also note, that the effect of GDP has been 'removed' (partialled out).
 * re Slide 45 (solar radiation and breast cancer)
 * I still need to add notes; so checking the textbook about solar radiation and breast cancer, Howell writes that "Figure 9.3 presents data from a 1991 article in Newsweek on the relationship b/w breast cancer and sunshine...(There has been considerable research on this topic in recent years, and the reduction in certain kinds of cancer is thought to be related to the body's production of Vitamin D, which is increased by sunlight).
 * So, these slides are purposely selected, 'counter-intuitive' correlation examples to help illustrate underlying complexity and need to 'think'/question.
 * re Slide 62 - yes b and c are contradictory (c is correct); it is meant to be a 'quiz' question - but obviously this is not so obvious :) - I will fix for next version.

The lectures are recorded with audio and video - but the university only provides them as large files in .wma and .wmv - so, I am not quite of the best way to share them.

Thankyou for your exploration and questions. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:48, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * slide 43:'counter-intuitive', that is true. I couldn't find the "GDP effect removed" note in the presentation, perhaps on another slide somewhere (or in the live presentation)? Without this note this graph is debatable, while I naturally associated the lack of (surplus) of doctors with countries, especially with the developing countries with the known overall bad situation (and probably also infant mortality) there. Immediately recalled this picture.
 * slide 62:So the purpose of contradiction on slide 62 is, that you could ask the question "...and now tell me which one of these points is correct!"? This reminds me a similar approach I used, when I explained to my students, how should they correctly write down pedigrees in text (table) form. First I gave an example with few errors in it, and let them track these errors down.
 * file sharing: How big are these files? If you want, you can upload them to rapidshare for example, or to a torrent site, like the pirate bay. The content itself is often dubious (user rights and stuff - their copyright policy is "a little" weaker than Wikimedia Foundations's :D), but the technology itself is perfectly legal. If you could upload these presentations somewhere, let me know (also if you need any help with it). OR you can upload it to YouTube like guys from Berkeley did it.--Gbaor 12:43, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, this category is already included into Category:Requests for Deletion, but if you want, you can re-categorize it under CAT:CSD or you can replace the Category:Requests for Deletion cat. in the "includeonly" section of the template, to sort these requests directly into CAT:CSD. --Gbaor 06:18, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Gbaor, appreciate it. I probably should have stared at it myself and worked this out, but have been running around like a blue-arsed fly (as we say in the land of Oz) - its a particular kind of large, annoying, buzzing fly. I do appreciate it. I also need an image of 'karma' to send you. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 10:06, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

I've added this in some places now, e.g., Social psychology (psychology)/Lectures/Prosocial. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 05:06, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Course experience
Thanks for your question, idea, etc. Yes, I will - but we're only half-way! (I planned some down-time to focus on some other tasks in the middle). Last year I kept a blog during the course (but we were doing blogging). This year I will make some wiki reflections more at the end, and gather student impressions/feedback. etc. Do let me know if there's anything you do / do not like or other observations about the experiment. Perhaps I/we should just start Social psychology (psychology)/Reflections/2008 now? -- Jtneill - Talk - c 05:15, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe it could be postponed until the end of the course. But I think there should be also a very short (3-4 sentences long) mention about the previous course, with the link to the blog mentioned. This gives possibilities to choose from, you/we could see the "evolution" between courses, and also the two approaches could be compared with pros and cons.--Gbaor 05:30, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Interesting connection with the Soc.Psych. course :) I think these events are related to several topics in your course such as:	Social thinking, Aggression, Relationships, Groups & leadership. --Gbaor 05:38, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Brundibár
Szia, Gbaor! Ha nem túl nagy kérés, arra szeretnélek kérni, hogy „javítsd ki” a következő fordítást (én nem tudok csehül):

1. (Hoffmeister): Kdo má rád maminku s tatínkem a naši rodnou zem, je náš kamarád a smí si s námi hrát.

Aki apját-anyját és hazáját szereti, a barátunk és játszunk vele.

2. (Saudek): Kdo má právo rád a při něm obstojí a nic se nebojí,, je náš kamarád a smí si s námi hrát.

Aki szereti az igazságot és betartja a törvényt, és semmitől sem fél, a barátunk és játszunk vele.

(Egy magyar gyerek mondhatja azt, hogy

Nem vagy a barátom!
 * vagy azt, hogy

Nem vagyok a barátod!
 * de azt nem mondja, hogy

Nem játszhatsz velem!
 * csak azt, hogy

Nem játszom veled!)

Még annyit szeretnék tőled kérdezni, hogy mennyire használatos a cseh nyelvben a brundibár szó. Pl. ha megkérdezem, hogy milyen embernek találod Pávelt, akkor válaszolhatod-e azt, hogy "Pável? Hát az egy nagy brundibár!"

Előre is köszönöm.--Kifo 14:26, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Interactive learning resources on Wiki?
To Gbaor from JMC about contributing maths content. Thank you for replying to my request for advice on offering maths content to Wikiversity. However, the material I have to hand is in the form of interactive computer programs plus detailed notes on using the program, so that a student could experiment with algebraic calculations and so learn by doing. The material is not suitable for just pasting as text to a page in Wiki. I know from teaching experience that students learn best by doing, not just reading -- hence the format of my program. Is Wiki interested in this, or is it text-only? (If it is text only, I cannot see the Wikiversity programme being attractive to students, as there are many textbooks and lectures notes available.) JMC Jmc 13:08, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * In that case you can put here the notes, some explanation about the purpose of the materials and how to use the program itself. Then you can link the external site from here, where the potential students can download the program. Have you got an opportunity to upload it to university or personal website? (btw. I am about to do something similar here at WV, but I have to find some time for it :) ) --Gbaor 15:05, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

That sounds a good way forwards, But what exactly does 'here' mean when you say " you can put here the notes"? The interactive program is already uploaded to my personal website www.mathstudio.co.uk -- see the page on group theory. Your advice is much appreciated. Jmc 19:14, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * "Here" I mean: you can copy the notes or the part of notes to Wikiversity, to explain what is the program about and some basic steps how to operate it. Basically what you have in the pdf file, but not only a single page, but several linked pages (Preface + Part1 + a page or two for each exercise). I can help you with that (when I have some free time). Note: You have to be aware, that by uploading any content to WV you agree to put it under under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License 3.0 and the GFDL license. See bottom of the page. This means (in short) that anybody can freely re-use your work, but s/he is obligated to credit the initial source. --Gbaor 12:06, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

tools
I hope you will reconsider your request for removal of tools. As far as I am concerned you still have the full support of the community as a respected custodian, and I'm sure that I speak for many others in saying that wikiversity would benefit from your participation as custodian. Please let me know if you would be willing to serve in that capacity and I will reflag your account. --mikeu talk 16:16, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you Mikeu! The decision was not made in haste, I thought about it during past several days. Desysoping SB Johnny was simply the last drop. Especially because I strongly believe that SB did the right thing. How can we discuss something, if it is hidden from the 99% of the community? How can the author explain himself if blocked indef? As for me I will certainly remain in services of WV, but not as Custodian, at least not until the current situation is solved. --Gbaor 17:59, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Gbaor hi, I am Jarrokam and was pleased to see your comment. While still in draft stage, [should that appear] I am anxious to backstop my paper with proper credits and bibliography. The definition of information (Planck) has been a favorite primer of mine concerning communication since I encountered it in 1972. It is examined in a later paragraph complete with examples including the word "Albuquerque'. This is carried forward as closely to the original source. My problem? ...I cannot reemember that source. I believe it may have been a hardcover publication of Library sciences in the newly developed [1968] Programmed Learning Sequence.

Psycho-social dynamics

These are research pages. This is not an academic treaty about people. It is very much based on the real experiences of teachers within the social ambience they find themselves in on a daily basis. The objective is not to reach some kind of objective conclusion. We are merely exploring ideas about social dynamics. Hence, the methodology of research is not what you might expect. To that end, I suggest some conventions to assist whoever might be interested in exploring these matters. Please be patient.--Fidocancan 21:09, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

conventions
There are number of conventions, which we can discuss in the talk page. There is no need to try to ascertain the exclusive, objective truth of a matter. Hence, no need for argument. Simply deepen our understanding of the phenomena we experience in the real world, in our classrooms for example, by allowing ourselves to enter into another person's comprehensive understanding of the same phenomenon. We must not accept or dismiss based on a shallow engagement of words. Rather, we learn to appreciate the people involved and their ontology, their experience, their conclusions are true relative to them and their context.
 * put experience first -- the specific conditions of any particular social dynamic is unique to the people and place; let us avoid producing objectifications, reports, arguments or even agreements; let us honour the real people we deal with on a daily basis
 * systems thinking -- don't think linearly, and certainly not objectively, but synthetically, simultaneously; do not judge another based on words or comparing one element or concept, but rather wait until a system is outlined -- the chances are it makes sense in its own rights; this is a daily lesson when working with kids :)
 * language as relative -- please allow multiple interpretations of any word, and have patience to accept a collection of thoughts or values that creates a system
 * get real -- honour the people we are with, not some ideas however much we are attached to them

objectives
Here's a few objectives to start off with:
 * provide an environment for participants to explore their thinking and to share/stimulate at the same time
 * aim towards a more accurate description of psycho-social dynamics in our respective lives
 * aim towards producing multi-agent models for psycho-social dynamics, and some maths
 * learn from our research individually so knowledge is equated to real skill and experience; we get better at what we do
 * provide some kind of community for people who are interested in exploring these kinds of ideas
 * honour the children or adults we teach with improved learning environments

some lingo and metaphors
Given the convention regarding use of language, the following are used only as much as they point at real-life dynamics which we experience. Extended metaphors provide some much needed accuracy. Alternative descriptors are encouraged. Eventually we might be able to use mathematics to describe certain dynamics.
 * psycho-social -- the phase-space of virtual engagement
 * subjectivity -- the location of the individual, fathomlessly deep, psychological makeup well beyond verbal description into the real of principle-belief; also called singularity; imagine a blackhole
 * event horizon of self -- most of us engage each other in terms of roles, where we do not open ourselves up but keep much of ourselves private; the event horizon is where to delve into a person and go beyond mere role and social difference, but to really fall into the self-definition of a person
 * gravity of thought -- thoughts have certain mass, as it were, and we tend to fall into thinking patterns because of them
 * words as vectors -- words have effect, or at least, their use in certain contexts trigger semantic, emotional and behavioural responses whether we like them to or not; hence words seem to have a life of their own
 * phase space -- the multidimensional space where will and words and behaviour and thought exist; physicists use 3d and time for specific phase space of physical matter, whereas we have more subjective qualities
 * verifiable -- the science of objects is testable through falsity; if we are to be rigourous with our research, we must have testability, and we test a thing by verifying it
 * self-emergent -- by thinking a thing, it exists, as least in the virtual space of thinking and if we speak about it, then it becomes real in a cultural sense, and here you are reading these words now; we make things happen
 * subjectively immersed -- we are entirely part of the social dynamic; pretending to be objective is a harmful delusion, and we must be as accurate as possible regarding our own involvement in the system we are describing

moot
As we talk about our experiences, and apply language patterns borrowed from other areas, certain topics may emerge that we are all concerned about. These are listed here, together with some invitational topics.
 * self-discipline system -- this is a big one: to generate a system where self-discipline is not something learned for fear of the consequence of disciplining, but because of learning the consequences of our actions and their beneficial and detrimental effect on our friends and colleagues; this is a shift from a hierarchical system towards a horizontal system; authority imposed from above, eg from a teacher, indicates a failure by a class to monitor itself
 * respect points -- most award systems in schools are substitutes for money; can we produce a currency which is not based on receiving and accumulating, but rather enumerates the values of respect? that is, the act of giving, not receiving... relating individual action and collective consequence?

experience in the field
Individual thoughts about our experiences and how it relates to mathematising social dynamics. Any insights welcomed.

Psycho-social dynamics/Being a supply teacher

(For Admin: Please do not attach a banner to this page for its format! Please read the conventions on Psycho-social Dynamics. Suggestions on how best to proceed most welcome :)

I did not come to teaching through the normal route. Whereas most teachers hate supply, and don't like starting at a new school until the kids have got to know them, I thrived in such environments. I learned many different skills, and put into place many of the principles and teaching techniques I learned in my PGCE. Implementing these skills in a mainstream school from the beginning of the academic calendar has been difficult for me. I hope to outline my skills, work ethos, philosophy and intentions for the future. --Fidocancan 21:18, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Continous and Discreet Signals

Continuous and Digital Signals
Most physical signals we encounter are essentially continuous. Electric voltage, radio wave magnitude, how much petrol is in your tank.

Continuous signals are not divided into units. If you were to try and express them as a number, you would need an infinite number of 0.00000's to express them accurately. Not a large number, an infinite number.

DSP is about making those continuous signals into the kind of discrete units that computers can process, and then working with them.

Discreet signals are signals that are divided by time, so say I checked how many hairs were on your head ones a second, the once a second bit makes it discreet. Its about sampling a continuous signal once every so often.

The "so often" is called a sampling period. In advanced applications it can vary but for the purposes of this course we will look at regular sampling periods, say once a second, or once an hour.

Digital, as opposed to discrete signals, have the extension that the value you take when you sample is fitted to the nearest class. I'll explain that a little, say I want you to tell me how tall you are, you might tell me 6 foot. You wouldn't tell me 6.252321ft. Even if you did that wouldn't be exactly accurate. Digitizing a signal is about "quantatizing" it to the nearest level. Quantatizing devices are called ADCs, and are discussed elsewhere, but you should know a little about their imperfections.

Noise in digitization
Digital processing, as discussed later, is used among other reasons because it can be used in ways that have much better noise immunity than analogue techniques. If you are talking to someone in a loud room, you can often hear that they are talking, but not what they are saying. If you were communicating in binary, either shouting or not shouting for one second, you would have much more luck getting your message across. I recommend you do not try this. It tends to get one ejected from restaurants. Its acceptable behaviour for digital electronics however.

Although it is often overcome by the noise immunity or facility allowed by digital techniques, it must be noted that digitization inherently introduces noise.

Some of this noise is intuitively understandable. Consider noise to be loss of useful information. If you round a number to the nearest ten, you lose some information. In digitization you choose your rounding so that it doesn't lose information that you Need, if avoidable.

Further however, real ADCs are not ideal, and introduce strange non-linearities in their conversion.

MORE HERE: OFFSET, STEP NON-UNIFORMITY, ETC

Sampling in terms of maths
In order to follow some of the later parts of DSP, you need to understand sampling from a mathematical perspective. Maths is all about modelling the world, and in order to understand say DCT, you need to know a little about Delta functions.

Dirac Delta
What's 5 times 1? 5. That's the core of the Dirac Delta functions use. Dirac delta is a mathematical tool for converting a continuous signal into an instantaneous (i.e.) discrete signals.

The dirac detla, who's symbol is $$\delta(x)$$, is a continuous signal. It has infinite magnitude for an infinity small period of time, and is otherwise zero. And it has an area of 1. It has an area of one because area is height * width, and $$ \frac{1}{0} \times \frac{1}{\inf} =  1$$

That means that if you integrate it with another function, the value you get out will be the magnitude of the function at the point where the dirac delta went high.

Obstetrics and Gynecology/Obstetric Examination

The Obstetric Examination involves the examination of the pregnant abdomen. This should always be performed after a thorough Obstetric History as this will guide the examination. The components of the examination are:

 * General Approach
 * Inspection
 * Palpation
 * Auscultation
 * Conclusion of the Examination

General Approach
The obstetric examination requires a thoughtful physician as many pregnant women are very aware of the risks to themselves and the fetus during pregnancy. A great deal of sensitivity is required upon discovery of any abnormal finding.

Inspection
When inspecting the pregnant abdomen, adequate exposure is essential. The patient should be exposed from the xiphisternum to the top of the pubic hair line. The first item of note is the presence of a distended abdomen in keeping with pregnancy. The other findings on inspection include:

 * Abdominal symmetry
 * Movement with respiration
 * Linea nigra
 * Striae gravidarum (recent striae are purple; old striae are white)
 * Surgical scars
 * Fetal movements visible

Palpation
Palpation of the pregnant abdomen involves:

 * Measurement of uterine size from the uppermost point of the fundus to the pubic symphysis
 * Palpate the upper margin of the fundus using the ulnar aspect of the dominant hand
 * Palpate the symphysis pubis using the index and middle fingers of the non-dominant hand
 * Measure the distance with the inches side of the tape facing upward to avoid examiner bias
 * From 20-36 weeks the abdomen should be 2cm either side of the gestation date
 * From 36-40, this increases to 3 cm
 * Note if the size matches the dates

 * Assessment of fetal position
 * Place both hands either side of the ubilicus
 * Press deep with one hand in a medially oblique angle of 45 degrees to the umbilicus and hold
 * Press deep with the other hand and remove slowly, then repeat above and below the initial non-dominant palpation
 * Repeat the last two steps but with switched hand roles
 * Palpate the lower border of the uterus and find the presenting part of the fetus
 * Note the position, presentation and lie of the fetus
 * Note if the head is engaged

Auscultation
Auscultation of the fetal heart is done using a fetal stethoscope or a doppler. Auscultate for one minute and determine the fetal heart rate.The normal fetal heart rate usually varies between 120 and 160
