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 Fsysalih. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Fsysalih~enwikiversity 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 23:36, 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. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:08, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

User:B9 hummingbird hovering/Blog/Learning Tibetan Weblog/Archive1/Rabbit's Horn

Rabbit's Horns
Given the Tibetan term "yos" for Rabbit with its semantic field of: hare, rabbit and antelope and therefore creatures with a bit of spring in their step, it is somewhat very interesting that the American folklore construction of Jackalope is a chimera of a rabbit with the horns of an antelope. It is also wonderful in that this is a traditional Indian Logic example of a non-existent but such a creature is evident. The Jaunty Jackalope release of Ubuntu was the whole reason why I felt at ease changing operating system and it is the best thing I have ever done in relation to technological change for some time. Ubuntu with its focus on community is more in line with my core values. That said, I must note for the record that I have now progressed to Karmic Koala and the rendering of Tibetan script is much better thank you very much!

Aside: 'Rabbit's Horn' (śaśa–vişāņa: note Itrans is 'shasha-viSANa'; Devanagari: शश विषाण), the 'Barren Woman's Son' (vandhyā-putra) and the 'Sky Flowers' (akāśa-kusuma) return to prominence, hen's teeth. This knowledge is as precious as hen's teeth. My work must seem ridiculous to many. But I know it isn't. Because it isn't just my work. I am the product of my Age. I see value in these ancient knowledges with contemporary relevance.

I have an intuition that I am going to finds that hen's teeth is an ancient metaphor in traditions of logic. Somewhat like McEvilley found the snake/rope metaphor in Greek logic traditions as well as Indian Logic which bled through into the sibling of Buddhadharma Logic. That magnum opus of McEvilley took him circa 30 years by memory... I should make time to read it more thoroughly.

शश ( శశ ) = rabbit शशः ( శశః ) = (m) rabbit शशाङ्क ( శశాఙ్క ) = moon शशाङ्कः ( శశాఙ్కః ) = the moon शशि ( శశి ) = moon

China has the tradition of the Rabbit in the Moon and I have heard this metaphor in Tibetan works as well. I wonder if that is also evident in Logic but it may be that these are also stock metaphors in poetry.

शश विषाण
Rabbit’s horns: Sasa-visana or sasa-srnga (skt).

Mipham uses རི་བོང་གི་རྭ་ (Wylie: ri bong gi rwa) in his exegesis of Shantarakshita's Madhyamakalamkara karika 62 (Doctor, 2004: p.414) and my eyes were drawn to the རྭ་ part of the construction because you don't often see this ligature. And I noted it as a result. The term རི་བོང་གི་རྭ་ "hare's horns" (with the non-standard Sanskrit transcription of 'zaza-viSANa') is in Jim Valby's dictionary. I wonder if this is Tibskrit or a phonemic rendering and there are other's similar? Anywaze, it most definitely is NOT the Tibetan Calendar term for Rabbit that is generally bantered around. This awareness will require more familiarity with other author's usages of this metaphor that will only come in time. What is sure is the metaphor is the important factor, the image beyond the words. རི་བོང = rabbit, hair (and similar creatures) and ་རྭ is: horn of yak or cow, mountain peak, sting; prong/ spoke [of a vajra], peak of mountain.

A Google search on "ri bong gi rwa" returned &.

शश (śaśa)
(śaśa). m. a hare, rabbit, or antelope (the markings on the moon are supposed to resemble a hare or rabbit)

Investigative art: I had the Adhishthana to search the Wikipedia article 'Tibetan Calendar' to find the Tibetan and Wylie for 'Rabbit' and found "mo yos". "Mo" is feminine. So I intuit that "Mo yos" is "feminine Rabbit" in relation to the yin cycle of the Rabbit year but I am not definitive in this. I searched for "mo yos" but with the Tibetan text of མོ་ཡོས and the Google search returned my own work *chuckle*. This: http://bo.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:B9_hummingbird_hovering Do you know what that text is? It is the inscription or dedication of the stone at Samye. These little reinforcements give me strength. The Female Rabbit Year must be important on the inscription because it is evident a number of times in the one paragraph or section of text. One Tibetan term for 'Rabbit' is ཡོས་ (Wylie: yos). I created this entry as well: ཡོས - but forgot *lol*. I am obviously not getting the siddhi of perfect retention *chuckle*. But I did work the intention that my goofiness is magically appropriate when programming the Wheel. And that I, through the grace of Goddess Serendipity, that may I find that which is appropriate and timely to my work. I prayed with such purity in this binding that I released all pride and would undergo whatever hardship necessary, even assuming the mantle of pride if required to yield Spirit's work in realizing the integrity of Dharma for our new digital generation and to seed scholarship for the years to come.

विषाण (viṣāṇa)
(viṣāṇa) 'Horn'
 * 1) n. a horn, the horn of any animal
 * 2) a horn (wind-instrument) BhP.
 * 3) the tusk (of an elephant or of a boar,
 * 4) the claws (of a crab)
 * 5) a peak, top, point, summit
 * 6) the horn-like tuft on Shiva's head
 * 7) the tip of the breast, nipple
 * 8) the chief or best of a class or kind

Nagarjuna
Nagarjuna (c. 150 - 250 CE)

Burton (1999: pp.149-150) in an annotation to his study on Nargarjuna's philosophy of Shunyata employs the Rabbit Horn metaphor but it is not clear whether or not this metaphorical arises from the work of Nagarjuna or is an explication specific to Burton: "Nargarjuna goes on to argue, at Vaid/VaidC4, that an entity which exists cannot possess dependence. I take Nagarjuna's point to be that an entity which exists with svabhava cannot be dependent. He gives the example of the pot (bum pa) which, if it exxisted (with svabhava), cold not be dependent on the clay ('jim pa) and so on for its existence. (Why not, I wonder? It seems quite plausible that a pot or whatever might exist with svabhava (i.e. as more than a conceptual construct) and yet depend for its existence on other entities such as clay). Nagarjuna then says that an entity which does not exist cannot be dependent. It is ridiculous to claim that a non-existent, like the hare's horn (ri bong gi rwa), can be dependent on anything! Finally, an entity which both exists (with svabhava) and does not exist could not be dependent because both faults (nyes pa gnyi ga) previously mentioned would apply to it. Presumably the purpose of this (very obscure and unconvincing) argument at Vaid/VaidC4 is to establish that dependently originating entities exist but they exist without svabhava. There is a pot, for example, which exists (it is not a non-existent like the hare's horn), and depends on the clay, etc, but this pot does not have svabhava."

Vaid/VaidC (where VaidC may be a Commentary on Vaid) are to do with Nyaya theory.

 * Emptiness appraised: a critical study of Nāgārjuna's philosophy By David F. Burton (1999)

Dharmakirti
Dharmakirti (ca. 7th century)

Tillemans (1999: p.13) holds that: "We see quite clearly in the Buddhist logicians' use of inferences like the so-called bAdhakapramANa (based on DharmakIrti's VAdanyAya) that the example can be a nonexistent thing, like a rabbit's horn or a flower in the sky, and that the scope of the vyApti must therefore range over nonexistents as well as existents. Nor is it particularly infrerquent or revolutionary for Buddhists to give such nonexistent items as examples--BhAvaviveka, who was well before DharmakIrti, used the example of the sky-flower in MadhyamakahRIdaya and TarkajvAlA too and even DignAga used the example 'space' (AkAsha) in his Hetucakra, an example which is not actually existent for a Buddhist."

There is a lot more in the Tillemans book on Rabbit's Horns to extract and this quote should also be placed in Sky Flower.

Shankaracharya
Shankaracharya (788 CE - 820 CE)

"Bhattacharya himself carefully adduces reasons for the prevalent mode of understanding the Vedanta of Samkara. He writes that Samkara’s frequent use of the terms ‘rabbit-horns’ (śaśa –vişāņa), ‘ barren woman’s son (vandhyā-putra), ‘sky-flower’ (akāśa-kusuma), etc., have created the impression that such is our world also. ……the critics…from the mere mention of the terms in the Bhasyas, like Śaśa-Vişaņa (rabbit-horn) maricika  (mirage)  etc., etc.,  jumped at once  at  the  conclusion  that the world is false in  the  Vedanta.  {Ibid., p. 93}."

User:Vaughanth/WV:User page

My name is Vaughan J. Thompson. I hold a BA in mathematics from San Diego State University (1962). I am currently researching the feasibility and methodology for fully replacing decimal arithmetic with "octal arithmetic" by every person. The primary reason is that the United States would realize an annual economic savings of $12 billion. Children would learn arithmetic in less than one-half of the time required for decimal arithmetic. Octal arithmetic brings together the two concepts of (1) law of successive bisection and (2) metric concept. In decimal arithmetic these two concepts clash with each other, but in octo-arithmetic, the metric concept is a true subset of the law of successive bisection (a beautiful marriage)Vaughanth 02:31, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

User:JacobFrank

Hi! I may have been born Jacob Leibowitz, but call me Jacob Frank. You can call yourself whatever you want, too. I am a Jewish historical figure who lived in Poland and the Ottoman Empire back in the 1700s. I don't know very much about anything, but that didn't stop me from contributing my ideas to the world. Neither should that stop you. Perhaps if Wikiversity were only meant for the learned, it wouldn't have been given to you to do pretty much whatever you want with it. So, be bold!!! For my boldness, I earned a place as one of Wikiversity's mascots.

Also, ignore all rules. Rules only get in the way of doing what ought to be done. Don't worry about what you add to Wikiversity, just add it. In my lifetime, I developed the doctrine of "purification through transgression," the idea that sin can actually purify the sinner. Despite knowing as little as I do, I still founded a religion based on the Kabbalah called Frankism. I claimed to be the savior of the world and the reincarnation of a 17th-century Jewish rabbi named Sabbatai Zevi, as well as King David in the Bible. As part of Frankism I converted to both Islam and Roman Catholicism, and I'll leave it up to your imagination what else I did. On Wikiversity, I contribute to the pages about philosophy, as well as to the ones about religious studies—particularly the religions I successively belonged to, Judaism, Islam and Christianity.

There are some interesting and colorful people in Jewish history, don't you think? I'm just one of them. Find out more.

More information about Jacob Frank

 * Jewish Virtual Library page on Jacob Frank
 * American Jewish Life Magazine: Heretic of the Month
 * Article about a letter written by Jacob Frank
 * My book, The Collection of the Words of the Lord. Translated into English by Harris Lenowitz.

 Sholom and greetings, Mr. Frank.

However, I feel I am unable to follow your advice on avoiding all rules. (I have acquired to much respect for them in the course of studying mathematics.)

I will need to search out this topic of mascots -- I may appreciate it more soon. Ray Calvin Baker 00:30, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

What the Userpage had
Hi! I am an alternate account of User:AFriedman. I intend to be a little used account, created by AFriedman to test the administrative tools.

I am named after Jacob Frank, an 18th century Jewish religious leader who claimed to be the savior of the world and developed the doctrine of "purification through transgression." According to this doctrine, sinning brings people closer to God. I'm about to be blocked, as a test.

There are some interesting and enigmatic people in Jewish history, don't you think? Jacob Frank is just one of them. Find out more. --AFriedman (talk) 05:00, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Without sin, there can be no repentance, which brings people closer to God
Forgive me, for I have sinned. --JacobFrank 05:38, 4 January 2010
 * Your claims of repentance are unconvincing, as you haven't admitted to what exactly your sins are. :) Ottava Rima (talk) 18:26, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

lol. You may want to see Jacob Frank to learn more about what his real-life sins were. On-wiki, I think his biggest transgression was being a secondary account for an established user (me). See the previous section of the Talk page. --AFriedman (talk) 18:28, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, I saw, but I didn't consider you having a disclosed secondary account a sin. :P Plus, his WP article didn't have blockable offenses. :) Ottava Rima (talk) 18:43, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, because I have enough respect for the integrity of the site to disclose that I'm JacobFrank. Creating a sockpuppet, however, is a blockable offense this might bear a slight resemblance to. Rabbinical Judaism forbids many things just because they resemble sins, and not because they actually are! No wonder the Jews of that time reacted against the Rabbis by following people like Jacob Frank.

Jacob Frank couldn't have been blocked from Wikiversity in the 18th century. But his philosophy of "purification through transgression" and his many real-life transgressions were quite outrageous and make me wonder what kind of editors he and his followers would have been, had they been able to use the Wikimedia foundation projects. :)

By the way, do you know User:Blurpeace? I met him at the Wikipedia NYC meetup and he had very nice things to say about you, as did I. --AFriedman (talk) 22:40, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Surely asking for forgiveness can cause a dilemma for the person being asked to forgive? If the person asked forgives that would be a sin. If the person asked refuses to forgive that would be a sin. So how does a person being asked to forgive deal with the dilemma and avoid the sin of judgment? Could the person asked employ Schrödinger's paradox to avoid a sin, or would attempting to avoid a sin be sinful? -- dark lama  23:20, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * For future reference, a secondary account that is openly identified is not a problem and not a "sock". A sock is only when you attempt to hide your identity. Ottava Rima (talk) 23:54, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * In the same way that a sock puppet hides a hand underneath. -- dark lama  00:08, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough, that it wasn't a sin. I like your analogy that the hand behind the sockpuppet is "hidden" and I am not. FYI, w:User:Spongefrog calls his legitimate alternate accounts his "sockpuppets." Darklama, why would forgiving JacobFrank be a sin? Why would failing to forgive JacobFrank also be a sin? I don't understand.

I think you 2 are enjoying the tangled web of logic Jacob Frank wove, when first he advocated "purification through transgression." I was thinking: Perhaps we could make Jacob Frank one of Wikiversity's mascots? He seems to have more educational value than the current mascots, given that he was a real person and he illuminates an important yet forgotten aspect of European history. Then we could tie him and WV in to the relevant articles and Wikipedia's WikiProjects that he would be part of. To name a few of the WikiProjects: WikiProject Judaism, WikiProject Jewish history, WikiProject Kabbalah, WikiProject Christianity, WikiProject Catholicism, WikiProject Religion, WikiProject European History, WikiProject Europe, WikiProject Poland, WikiProject Ukraine, WikiProject Ottoman Empire, WikiProject History, WikiProject Philosophy and WikiProject Biography. That's quite a number of projects that wouldn't normally go together, but Jacob Frank's transgressions crossed fundamental boundaries between those areas. --AFriedman (talk) 21:22, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Deciding to forgive or not to forgive someone for their sins usually involves judgment. Judging others is usually considered a sin is it not? -- dark lama  00:14, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

In most of Christianity, yes. In Judaism, I think the question becomes more complicated. You may want to read Deuteronomy 17:8-13, in which God instructs the Israelites to set up a legal system where the judges can decide cases. This is judging, is it not? --AFriedman (talk) 03:46, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Wikiversity statistics
Hi Jacob - good to see you so active - try exploring Statistics.

 * Hi, thanks for writing. Not sure if you would or wouldn't want to see Jacob Frank so active--this is what happened in history.  I had been thinking that a number of new Users from Wikipedia came over to Wikiversity when there was the controversy over the "ethical breaching experiments" earlier this year.  Kaldari comes to my mind.  This seeming spike didn't seem to be supported by the usage and edit count statistics.  Even so, I wonder if a bit of controversy--but not too much--might lead more good editors to come over.  JacobFrank is certainly our most controversial mascot, and definitely raises eyebrows among people who know about him on Wikipedia.  The Wikipedia article about Frankism, BTW, made DYKSTATS as being one of November's most viewed "Did you know" hooks.  What are your thoughts?  --La comadreja formerly AFriedman RESEARCH (talk) 17:40, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

C Sharp/Loops

Lesson Goals
This lesson will focus on all types of loops in the flow of programming in C# via the console. At the end of this lesson you should be able to:
 * Understand how to use loops.
 * Understand the prerequisite condition of looping.
 * Explain the different types of loops and their specific use.
 * Understand the difference in various loops.
 * progammatically create collections that can be looped through.

Introduction
Probably in every programming language loops are there to run a specific block of code repetatively based on a specific exit condition. The exit conditon, which is nothing but a boolean expression, is checked every time before a new loop executes and it exits the loop if the condition returns false. In C# these are also present. Loops are productive, smart and clean way of writing code. In a garment factory there is only one person or machine who attach the labels to the garments one after another. You would not find as many labeler as the number of garments in the factory. The condition is, the labeler will work till there are no longer any garments available for labeling. This is a real life example of looping in action.

Types of Loops
There are mainly 4 types of loops in C#. Loops can be nested as well.
 * while loop
 * do loop
 * for loop
 * foreach loop

While Loop
Here is the basic structure of While loop. while { ... } While loop executes a block of code (here execution step1 through execution stepn) repetatively as long as the given boolean condition returns true. Before each new run it checks the condition first and if true then only a new run begins else code flow moves below the loop. Here is an example,-

Output
0 1 2 In the given example, while loop first checks if variable number is less than 3, which is the case here as number is initialized with 0. Code-flow moves into the while block and executes the first line and prints 0. On second line number value increments with 1. The new value is 1. On next run as number is still less than 3, again it prints number as 1. Similarly, third time it prints 2. Now after increment number value is 3. This makes the while condition false and flows out of the loop without executing the inner block of code.

Do Loop
Do loop or in other words Do-while loop is similar to while loop but the difference is it checks the boolean condition at the end of the execution block. That way, it is guaranteed to run at least once. On the other hand, since while loop validates the boolean condition at the begining of the execution block, there is no guarantee that the inner block of code will run, unless you programmatically do so. Here is the structure of do loop, - do { ... } while; Please note, unlike while loop here you need to put that semi-colon at the end of the while statement.

The typical use of do loop is when you want to show some message or menu to the user and want some input after that. So that it runs at least once and based on the input the loop may or may not run again. Here is an example, - It is a typical example of do loop.

For loop
First let us have a look at the structure of the for loop. for (counter-initialization; counter-bound; counter-increment) { ... } Here are the steps of for loop,- As you can see, for loops are useful when you know exactly how many times the looping should occur. Also, you must have noticed that the counter-bound gets checked before the execution steps gets executed. so, like while loop, for loop also executes zero or more times. Also note, all the expressions of the for loop are optional. Below is an infinite for loop example. Now lets see a for loop in action, -
 * 1) First counter-initialization happens. This is an one time operation for the life of the loop.
 * 2) Then counter-bound gets checked. This is another boolean condition and as long as it evaluates to true code-flow moves to the next step. Else it will move out of the loop.
 * 3) Now execution step1 through execution stepn gets performed.
 * 4) Next counter-increment happens.
 * 5) Again step-2 executes.

Output
1 3 5 7 9 The above example has one special thing. It has two disruptions in the otherwise smooth run of for loop execution block. As you have already learned about the branching statements the two if sections uses break and continue to breakaway from the execution block.

Foreach loop
This type of loop is typically used to iterate through a collection of objects. There are many .NET provided collection objects available for use, such as, Arraylist. The major difference between a for loop and a foreach loop is that, for loop repeats a block of code for a number of times, where as foreach loop repeats a block of code for each item in a collection of objects. Here is a structure of foreach, - foreach (  in ) {     ...    } Here type is the datatype of each element that is there in the collection. The iteration variable is the meaningful name for each element. The list is the collection on which the iteration will happen. And there is these repeatable block of code from execution step 1 through execution step n.

Points to Remember: -
 * 1) Not all collections can be iterated using foreach. In fact a collection has to have implementation of System.Collections.IEnumerable or System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable(T) interface.
 * 2) The in keyword and type definition is required.
 * 3) While iterating through a collection using foreach, the collection is read only. This means any items in that collection can not be modified in the foreach execution block. However, if you are using custom types like collection class or structs then you can modify individual fields in that. More on this in later lessons.

Foreach in System Collections
Let's have a look at a simple example of a foreach loop using system defined collection object, an array.

Output
0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 Here we have an integer array populated with the first 8 numbers of Fibonacci Series. Then in the foreach loop we printed each element in each line. Here the looping is possible as the system defined collection array by default implements System.Collections.IEnumerable.

Foreach in Custom Collections
Usually custom collections do not support looping through foreach. Trying so will throw compile time error. So to enable foreach looping for a class we need to implement System.Collections.IEnumerable. Our class in initial form,- This throws compile time error, - foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'ForEachLoopApp.Splitter' because 'ForEachLoopApp.Splitter' does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator' So now we need to implement System.Collections.IEnumerable.

Output
This is C# Learning Lesson 8 Loops.

Here both the interfaces IEnumerable and IEnumerator are implemented. To avoid this hassle you can use of Generic Classes. There by default System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable(T) is implemented and it will directly iterate through foreach loop.

Performance Tips
Since foreach iterates through objects of a collection, it is slower than for loop, which is looping based on counter. Still sometimes you would have to use foreach over for.

Practice Exercises

 * Create a program that takes input as 'n' and prints the Fibonacci series till that 'n'-th position. Which loop will you use here and why? extend this program to provide the user the option to choose series from a list of series, like, Fibonacci Series, AP Series, GP Series.
 * Create a program that would take a date as input and would print all dates prior to that date in that month with the day of the week in the following format, -

MM/DD/YYYY DayofTheWeek.
 * Create a person class that can hold data in the following format,-

FirstName=john

LastName=Doe

Age=31

Address=123, Jackson Row, 50505

FirstName=Mary

LastName=Ann

Age=62

Address=20, Hill Road, 12345

You can add more data to that class collection.Then take the person FirstName as input and search the person's information and print on screen.

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

Votian/Exessive

== Exessive ==

Phonological history
The -n component of exessive has probably the same origin as the  essive  -na.

The suffix has a counterpart in Finnish  (Savo and South-East ),  Karelian,  Estonian ,  Livonian  and  Ingrian dialects.

Morphophonology and pronunciation
No plural  forms of exessive have been found.
 * The final vowel of this suffix is usually omitted in Pummala  - Lempola dialect e.g.  traktoristi-nD  (" from the position of a tractor driver "),  soлdatinD  (" from army ").

Usage
Exessive was in active use mainly in Pummala  - Lempola dialect.

It may express
 * 1) leaving a certain  condition or a job - e.g.  tuli f a d́ e i kotŭò soлdati-nD  (" Fadei came home leaving the life of a soldier. "),  tuлe̮b   ̮ vällɛ̆ä̀ karjuši-nD  ("He'll quit his work as a herdsman."),  sütšüzül̄   meneb   ̮ vällɛ̆ä̀ traktoristi-nD  (" He will leave the tractor driver's work this autumn. "  Lempola ),  tuli tervĭèssi läsivä-nD  ("She has recovered (after being ill)."  Pummala  dialect).
 * 2) Exessive of other dialects has been preserved mainly in  adverbs - e.g. taka-nD (" from behind "),  koto-nD ~ koto-nta  (" from home ")

Dialectal alternatives

 * Votic of Ingria

 * Western
 * Hill dialect: Exessive  is a productive case mainly in the following dialects:

 * Pummala dialect
 * Lempola dialect

=== Other Finnic dialects ===

 * Finnish dialects : taka-nta (" from behind ")
 * Karelian dialects : tagoa-nda (" from behind ")
 * Ingrian dialects : takkā-nD  (" from behind ")
 * Standard Estonian : taga-nt (" from behind ")
 * Livonian dialects : tagà-nD  (" from behind ")

Introduce myself
I am from Japan, but I have been away from Japan last 13years for my study and work. My previous major was not the same from current one. I was a teacher at elementary school to college. My last work place was the University of North Carolica at Chapell Hill in the United States. It was wonderful job and work place, however I could see my future which would be narrow. And I always had a dream about working at medical field, so I decided to quit my job and study nursing here at Mahidol.

In addition, I have two children, my son is 4years and 8months and daughter is 1year and 11months. My husband is an American, he helps a lot.

As these reasons, I am very busy everyday. I have to be a student, mother, and wife in a day...

Thank you and this is a good story --Icns141 15:51, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Homework 4
1. What are MMOGs and how do they differer from regular video games? Massively Multiplayer Online Games or MMOGs are the games that are able to support thousands of players together. Most of these games are played on the Internet, online game. All players will have their own characters. MMOGs have large-scale game worlds and servers to support players to those worlds. The differences between MMOGs and other online games. MMOGs are that MMOGs can support a huge number of players at the same time. On the other hand, Non-MMOGs have only few players (per server). MMOGs will provide free trial first, and then the players have to pay fee for full function.

2. Would there be stresses in living in a virtual world?

There is no stress in MMOG because every thing that happen in the game is controlled by the players and it will affect the characters not the players. Therefore, I think MMOG provide new exciting experience for players who can enjoy these artificial world.

''3. Look at e-bay and see what is being sold from secondlife and other on-line game forum. Is the economy from these games real?''

The economy of this game is real because this game can make real money. For example, many people use real money to buy new clothes or some items for their avatars. The objects from secondlife are also sold in others online forum.

Russian Roulette (Drinking Game)

Russian Roulette is a drinking game based upon the infamous, deadly game of Russian Roulette. The exceptions being the gun and bullet are replaced. In this case, the 'gun' is in actuality a plate of six shot glasses, representing the chamber of a revolver, and the bullet is one shot of clear vodka, straight. The empty 'chambers' are instead filled with water. Primarily played in a group setting, each player can have their own 'gun', or take turns from the same one. After selecting which 'chamber' you will start with, you go clockwise in a fashion similar to that of an actual revolver. After any shot you take of water, you place the empty glass back on the plate and say: "Click." If you get the shot with vodka, after you place the glass down, you say: "Bang." The 'chambers' can be switched if you desire, having the 'bullet' be the one shot with water, and the 'empty chambers' contain vodka instead.

Risks and considerations
Excessive and binge drinking is extremely bad for the health and can lead to alcohol poisoning, alcoholism and long term damage to a person's health. Please visit the following pages and bring back information that will assist people who have concerns for friends and relatives engaging in drinking games and binge drinking.

 * Recognize and treat alcohol poisoning
 * Short term effects of alcohol
 * Long term effects of alcohol

Resources for counseling
If you have experience in counseling people with alcohol abuse behavior, please offer advice and links to resources here.

 * Alcoholism
 * Alternatives to partying

Research

Hi!
Welcome to Wikiversity! I used to be a homeschooler too. Back then, the internet wasn't as well developed as it is now, and it would have really helped to have been able to use the internet. If you'd like to take a tutorial about how to use the wiki markup language, there's a very good (and free) one here. WikiEducator is a very similar site to Wikiversity, but more focused toward educators. Feel free to ask me any other questions. --AFriedman (talk) 20:37, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Russian Roulette (Drinking Game)

Appropriateness
Is this an appropriate topic for a Wikiversity how-to page? --AFriedman (talk) 20:44, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

If there is consensus it is inappropriate, I will delete. But I'd like to hear some other people's thoughts first. --AFriedman (talk) 20:17, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I've removed the last sentence which is probably the most controversial - otherwise I find the information to be clear and well-balanced. However, the pages needs improving - e.g., what's the connection with learning? It also needs categorising. I wouldn't like to see this speedy deleted - rather it should go to WV:RfD for discussion. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 02:41, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

I've placed a few categories on this page. I agree that there should be a discussion before we say "delete." The obvious category for this, in my opinion, is a section of WV about social activities. Does this section exist? Even here, however, it is possibly a problem because I don't think WV should encourage hazing. Drinking games are arguably a form of hazing. I'm putting it on RfD. --AFriedman (talk) 03:59, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Educational opportunities
The fact is, many people engage in these sorts of activities, many in ignorance of its possible dangers and impacts on health. I think we have an opportunity here to help minimise harm and even discourage such activities in groups where it is clearly inappropriate (children), and for us to offer information on risks and considerations, variations of the game that minimise risk of harm, and alternative activities people can consider. We should do so in a non moralistic way, remaining as objective as possible. This in fact opens a whole area of possibility for Wikiversity and its educational role in harm minimisation with regard to many activities. Leighblackall 06:46, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Leigh, thanks for pointing this out, and thanks to everyone who helped salvage this page. I like how the discussion was closed and at this point, would support "keep."  --AFriedman (talk) 17:26, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Still not educational
An actual attempt to minimize risk of harm, or to help students learn to avoid dangerous activities, would be excellent. This is none of those, and in particular the "how-to" part of the page is not helpful or educational in that regard. The lightly useful/educational parts of the page, asking very general questions for contemplation, would be fine on their own or as part of a more general "Drinking games" resource.

Unsourced, possible neologism
The lack of any links to sources describing the drinking game in question (the game described here is not even one of the primary variants of drinking games called 'Russian Roulette') points to a need for better style/review guidelines for Wikiversity material. If editors here want it to be within scope to create a new drinking game and list it as 'context' for an educational project, they should make a point of explaining and defending that guideline very, very well. That goes well beyond the idea of OR for meaningful research and analysis. –SJ + > 07:33, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

 * While this page is not my project, I think some points need thinking about SJ. One is the idea of thinking about this page as a finished resource (or aiming for it) as apposed to an open ended process. I realise there are policies that some Wikiversity editors bring to bare, and that too is part of the process I'm about to describe (just not a process I would personally bring into a project.

 * If we think of it as a process, then the important thing to preserve here is the process of learning, rather than regulating it or discussing deletion. The originator of this page (or others coming to it in a similar head space) is now compelled to think about many things beyond what they were thinking when they first put this page together, as would the new person who happens across this page and adopts it for further development. Even if the game doesn't exist elsewhere, its invention here is still relevant to the process, and leads people to learning.

 * Wikiversity is the place for such things, because this is the space where people take learning seriously, no matter what the challenge (in my eyes anyway). They can turn an at-first silly project or disruption into a learning opportunity for everyone, so long as they don't delete it or lose the trail of documentation of that process.

 * But its not my project, and I realise some of my comments don't reflect the consensus of the Wikiversity governance policies. Leighblackall 03:43, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

User:Suwaporn

Hi! I am Suwaporn Benjapongwattana You can call me Fai. My ID number is 5180543

My birthday is June 21,1990, so I am nineteen.

I am a second year student and I am taking Computer Essentials in this quarter.

What I like to eat :
 * ice cream
 * fried chicken
 * everything that is not vegetable อีแรดฝ้ายยย

Nice to meet you

This is my video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_FfOhStt1I

Answer 1. MMOG stands for Massive Multiplayer Online Games. The increase average amount of weakly gameplay ranges from 12 to 21. Indeed, it is one kind of online games, but it is developed. As recently, it becomes popular because hundreds or thousands of people can play at the same time. It is a world wide game. People can play some MMOGs on a mobile phone, and this is called Mobile MMOG or MMMOG or 3MOG. MMORPG or Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game is the greatest or highest form of MMOG which involves activities such as exploration of a three-dimensional landscape, encountering other characters, communicating, trading and fighting. This means that it helps you to get to know more friends. Due to several research, there are many useful of MMOGs for learning; including Persistent virtual worlds,Online social interaction,Real-time perpetual accessibility,Collaborative problem solving,Differentiated community roles, and Social knowledge construction/collective intelligence. On the other hand, regular video games are limited the number of players which is absolutely lesser than MMOGs. It offers no chance of having more friends. Currently, wii video game has launched, and this is not the same as the old video games because it requires extra equipment. Moreover, it is a game that players are not usually do(pressing the bottom), but players have to act according to what will u do in the game.

2.I think there is some stresses which can affect people daily life. This kind of game has a high competition as it spreads widely, people need to spend a great number of time playing it. Thus, they are better than others. From this point, it has an impact on children to study, and early adult to have less responsibility on work. They are unwillingly to do things if they are worried about the game. Furthermore,it also causes financial problem to some body in a poor family that puts stress on them.

3. E-bay is a place to buy and sell products. In there, you can find nearly all products you want. Of course, they sell extra application and extra items for games. For secondlife, there are outfits selling in e-bay. I think that online games and secondlife form the economic real. In those games, there are trading items, and great items are hardly found in the games, so people who have it or the inventor of the game sell them for real money.

Homework 4 1.	What are MMOGs and how do they differer from regular video games?

- MMOGS are a massively multiplayer online game. They are a video game which can allow everyone to play the game in the same time. They are different from regular video games because it is a world wide game. Also, each person has their own characters in this video game such as ProjectONE, World of Warcraft, Ragnarok Online, etc. In short, MMOGs is the online games which allow people to have their own characters in the network that consists of many people playing it. This is especially the case for content designed for a multiplayer group commonly called a party in the case of the largest player groups which are required for the most significant and potentially rewarding play experiences which are often designed to require multiple players to ensure the creature is killed. In contrast, MMORPGs usually have sharded universes, as they provide the most flexible solution to the server load problem, but not always. Another difference between MMOGs and regular video games is MMOGs players have to pay more attention wwhen they are playing it because they really want to be the winner or does not want someone else to look down on you. On the other hand, for regular video games, players do not have to be serious because if you lose, you can play it again and again in several times because you are playing alone and no one will bother you. Therefore, these are the reasons for the difference between MMOGs and regular video games.
