Paleontology/Anatomy

Until this has been developed, please see Anatomy/Introduction.

This page will discuss how species are fossilized and the most common anatomical structure to be fossilized. There will be links to the structure of the various Kingdoms if the fossil record.

In the study of palaeontology the analysis of a fossil will depend on its preservation detail and anatomical structure. For soft bodied invertebrates the analysis is mainly of impression left in rock, most likely the impression is a cast of the outer anatomy with specially preserved specimen fossils containing traces of their internal structure. The same can not be said for vertebrates, where the main structure preserved are the skeletal structure. In this instance the case for the soft tissue of a vertebrate is only preserves as impressions and in a few cases like the Thylacine and Woolly Mammoth, where the former were mummified in a dry habitat and the later in Arctic tundra.

Taxonomy
The study of Taxonomy is the relationships of all life in how they are related to each other.

Bacteria
See Bacteria

Bacterial fossil structure and preservation

Bacteria have left a fossil record dating back to the Precambrian era 3,500 million, they are Cyanobacteria and are mainly fossilized in chert and sometimes in shale. Being small, bacteria are only identifiable if a palaeontologist seeks to deliberately find a specimen. Loren Babcock (et el.) has described 180 million year old fossil bacteria similar to eubacteria from Antarctica, that have collonised inside a deceased bivalve; Lioestheria disgregaris. There they dissolved the calcium and replaced the specimen with themselves but keeping the structure of the arthropod. The bacteria in tern absorbed silica from the surounding rock and were self fossilized in the process. Babcock (et el.) in a nearby area called Carapace Nunatakthey found fossilized archaebacteria inside limestone deposits of a uncertain age and also including Cyanobacteria. Studies on the genetics of archaebacteria suggest they have existed for about 2 billion years, and possibly were the first life to evolve. But archaebacteria are also rarely preserved as fossils. .

Cynobacteria have a thick cell wall which would help in their preservation, and can form stromatolites or oncolites. Other bacteria can be replaced by minerals such as pyrite or siderite, forming pseudomorphs or replicas of the once-living cells, giving a representation of the cell structure in real life. Trace fossils may be formed from "bacteria secrete iron-coated sheaths and other bacteria may bore into shells or rocks and form microscopic canals within the shell" these fossil bacteria are referred to as endolithic. Bacteria can be found in Ambersuch as in Ellsworth County, Kansas, either from the Kiowa Shale, Albian of the Early Cretaceous or Terra Cotta Clay of the Dakota Group, Cenomanian from the Late Cretaceous, where sheathed bacteria related to the genus Leptothrix. Fossilized bacteria has also been found in animal tissue (either desicated or frozen). Magnetobacteria have iron oxide crystals in their cells that are left as trace fossils after death.

Algae fossil structure and preservation Plant fossil structure and preservation

Invertebrates

A good place to start about early species would be the Ediacara biota. These were the first multicellular organisms to be fossilized. Their taxonomy is vague as most dont bear much connection to modern phyla.

These include multicellular animals with and without an exoskeleton.
 * Jellyfish, Coral, Sea_anemone, Polyp

Vertebrates
Vertebrate fossil structure and preservation

The vertebrates are distinguished in having a backbones or spinal columns. A slightly higher though unranked clad is the Craniata which includes Myxini or the hagfish and Cephalaspidomorphi or jawless fish.

Highschoolers
[http://www.ecogeek.org/content/view/1641/ 'High Schoolers Reduce 2-Stroke Emissions by 40%! '] 'Florida Teen Measures Pollution with Glowing Bacteria' --Remi 07:50, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * There is some way to down the Guide to Secondary Education section under the Educational Picture of the Day section?--Eduardoferreira 16:10, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Like here: Portal:Engineering and Technology. With some explanation. I tried, but I do not know how to do.--Eduardoferreira 20:59, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Portal facelift?
This portal is sadly out of date, just wondering if/how edits should proceed to bring it up to date. I'd love to see more high schoolers using Wikiversity as I think it would be a very useful tool for them, especially homeschooled ones. I'd be willing to pitch in a lot of work here as long as it's okay. Community input? Trinity507 03:55, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I obviously don't expect you to reply because your comment was made 12 years ago, but if anyone is still editing around here these days I was wondering if there was a community in existence to work towards "facelifting" portions of these Wikipedia side projects. Mainly because I do believe that these are lovely ideas, especially as junior in high school myself. If anyone is still out there, please reach out to me if there's any interest in a discord server of sorts. GreenTeaForPreT (discuss • contribs) 15:59, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Yes, there is a community. Very small at the moment, but here. Many portals should probably just be deleted. Others are worth preserving and improving. The Secondary Education portal averages 11 page views a day. That is certainly worth preserving and improving. Regarding Discord, see Discord. We could have a Wikiversity server if you think it is something that would be used regularly. The best place for this discussion would be the Colloquium. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 02:35, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for replying, I feel like a Wikiversity server would be useful, but it would take a lot of people. I'm on the wikimedia server. I appreciate you directing me to the colloquium though. GreenTeaForPreT (discuss • contribs) 15:16, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Beach blvd. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Beach blvd~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 23:30, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Fiction writing/Wicklow Games

The Wicklow Games

Not yet (in the early 21st century) as well known as the Olympic Games or as popular as the World Cup, the fame of and interest in The Wicklow Games has sky-rocketed not least due to the incredible popularity of some of the wonderful poetry that has been written to commemorate The First Wicklow Games where a vast throng of Flynns and assorted in-laws and friends met in fierce but (relatively) fair competition.

The Wicklow games
Bodies tired by travel From our far-off foreign lands We did not see the cunning trap That filled our helpless glands With substance that would slow us down In moments critical We thought that “have another” was Addressed by some good pal

So we arrived in Wicklow In good faith and in good cheer Seeing no conspiracy In faces warm and dear We were not disappointed (much) When robbed of the sack race We overlooked deceptions With a certain stoic grace

The egg and spoon went fair and square Until I was knocked down “Accidentally of course” Said culprit with a frown The welly that I threw flew far And certain first place gained The (Wicklow) ref then changed the rules “UNDER the rope” explained

But we persisted knowing that Each dog must have its day That muscles trained by German toil Would surely reward pay We pulled that rope and Efforts moved the watchers to much grief But not an inch could we move that Stud-booted Wicklow beef

I’m not quite sure what trick was used In the wheelbarrow race But I know that we won my leg With elegance and grace But somehow we were led astray Off into bumpy ground So was it really fair and square? We lost the second round

And all the time our “friendly” hosts Would smile and say “more drink” And being polite we’d accept. Result! What do you think? They piled the prizes up but still I will say all in all Although we did not win a prize The crack was had by all

Although we did not win a prize We do not bear a grudge Although some others (rightly??) claim That “certain people” fudged So that they could have their day Their moment in the light The scholars in a thousand years Will read and know what’s right - Lorcan

Jousting
The young man had fought well. That day He strutted like a king. He felt (as feel a fighter must) “I can beat anything Or anybody in the field This log is mine – I’ll never yield.”

He’d started off with Canada A Rocky Mountain son Had travelled far to proved his strength Could better anyone.

Though he’d fought well and sought the crown The maple leaf had fallen down

Then one by one the Southside’s best Had come to knock him off Great Colm of the balding head Had said, “I’ll get this toff”

But he had fallen like the rest Thought all agreed he’d done his best

When Darren of the mighty girth And foreign fighting skill Had superciliously grinned His pride was quickly killed

He tumbled to the Wicklow earth Gazed upward at the great Fionn’s mirth.

When Pol og danced his boxer’s dance Aburst with Tallagh pride He went tumbling off the log. But, at least he tried!

And then he stood to watch and see How he could gain a victory.

Will he ere tire we wondered As another hero fell? Is Fionn the name that history Of this event will tell?

“No I am German – full of might And I will win this very night.”

And watchers gasped as this huge man From Northern Europe’s fog Strode up to Fionn to challenge For possession of The Log

“I am The Maren’s brother:” He cried out in a loud voice “And victory’s a must for me It’s simply not a choice.”

A judge of men and warriors He was in his own land He grasped the jousting weapon. It looked small in his huge hand.

He glared at Fionn and others Would have trembled at that gaze But Fionn just raised his weapon And he smiled - to our amaze

Fionn did not boast as others might He simply smiled and said: “Let’s fight.”

The moments of the duel were short But its effect is long For it will be remembered In all future fighter’s song

The mighty Teuton lost the test He tasted Wicklow grass. Was best!

Loud were the cheers. They echoed All around the Wicklow dell. A hunting hawk looked, hurried home With a new tale to tell

A badger watching from his run Could not recall such a great one.

But then a voice spoke up. Some people laughed. All were surprised. The poet said I will now fight This night beneath these skies

And words will not my weapon be I will fight fair and win. You’ll see.

And yes this mild and modest man Defeated mighty Fionn And thus defeated Wicklow’s pride Defeated everyone.

“But please, do not talk of this night!” He said. “Twas just a pillow fight.” - Lorcan

Solidago canadensis???
In May? --SB_Johnny | talk 18:04, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, yesterday i saw S. gigantea and and S. canadensis blooming. or wait, was that only the image of these plants in my head? i'll go and look, in hals an hour, you have an answer. good, that you asked. -- Turnvater Jahn 18:09, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Can't possibly be blooming outside this time of year (S. gigantea the same..., at least not in the Northern Hemisphere). --SB_Johnny | talk 18:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Of corse, you are right. must have been the combination of the young plants (1/2 m) and the relicts of the last year plants (or better biomass) that caused that illusion, when i was recording plant species for de:Projekt:Atlas der Blütenpflanzen (plant mapping). here, both species are quiet commom and invasive, and bloom in summer. how embarrassing. i'll delete my log, but log Sanguisorba minor, i saw blooming yesterday. -- Turnvater Jahn 18:28, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

 * heh, happens to us all once in a while :). By the way, you might try using the page creation templates rather than copy-pasting... you're adding fields that have been made obsolete. New BCP pages can be made using . We've had to update the templates a few times over the years as they've been improved and made easier to use. --SB_Johnny | talk 18:44, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * ok, next time i'll try the templates. enter the code, save, edit and enter data? thanks. -- Turnvater Jahn 22:10, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yup. There will be instructions on how to make the log page as well... still need to work a bit on the instructions, so please let me know if anything is unclear (ich kann auch Deutsch lesen und schrieben, wenn Sie die englishe Wörte nicht finden konnen). --SB_Johnny | talk 23:34, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, i will better use a dictionary and enhance my english. apropos, a little tip: in internet context, "Du" is more usual than "Sie" in german, it's not so official. i'll try the template tomorrow, after cataloguizing a further sample area. -- Turnvater Jahn 02:47, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to the Bloom Clock!
Hello, Turnvater Jahn, and thanks for signing up as a contributor to the Bloom Clock!

To get started, all that you need to do is keep your eyes open for flowers on plants growing outdoors. Then, depending on how well you know plants, you can either try to find the plant using the global keys, or just check the master list where plants are listed by their scientific names.

Assuming you find a log page for the plant you saw, all that you need to do is click [edit] above the list of signatures, and add *~ on a new line below the last signature and above the line that begins with, which will make your signature appear on the profile page.

If you don't find a log page, just add an entry for the plant to the Master List using. Someone can then show you how to create a profile and log page for the plant.

If you don't know the name of the plant you saw, try asking on Bloom Clock/Unknown Plants using the template there. Photographs are very helpful, but if you don't have a digital camera, just give the best description you can and hopefully someone can identify it for you.

After you've logged 10 or more plants as flowering for your location, another bloom clock contributor will help you set up the categories and templates used to construct a key for your region, and try to match up your region to the global keys.

If you have any questions, ideas, or need something explained, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can! --SB_Johnny | talk 18:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Log pages
Hi again. I'm going to set up your templates and categories soon, but noticed a problem with some of the log pages you've made. See BCP/Solidago gigantea/Logs, for example, now re-created using Solidago gigantea.

The Log page template is designed to do several things, including showing instructions on how to log, adding a category for keeping track, and creating archival sections (quite necessary, since imagine how silly BCP/Taraxacum officinale would look if all the logs on BCP/Taraxacum officinale/Logs showed on the profile page!). When you create a new page using bcp3, it will automatically create a section on the top of the page that creates a red link to the log page and shows the exact text to copy and paste to there.

The template for recording monthly appearances, native/cultivated/invasive status, etc. will for now use "New Region 6=" on the middle template (next time the bot runs we will have new region 6 changed to your region name). I'll explain more of that later.

BTW, we use one field of the middle template for the Czech name of plants... should I set up a German name field as well? --SB_Johnny | talk 11:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for informations. I'd say, for me german names are not necessary, but i often wonder (or smile) about english names, so maybe it is just interesting. i could try to fill this field, when created. -- Turnvater Jahn 02:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I can set it up any time (German names are funny to me too!) :-). BTW, please be sure to use the template when creating the /Logs page. People can't edit the page properly if it's not linked ! --SB_Johnny | talk 12:38, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

New Region 6
I set up the template and category for Leipzig Lowlands, Saxony, Germany. To "register" a plant as blooming there in May on the log pages, you can now add bcpm/leilo/5 to the "New Region 6 =" field of the middle template. For an example, see this diff. This adds categories and links to the keys (not yet created). The categories will eventually be used to tie your region into the global temperate keys as well.

If you get the chance, please go through your contribs and update the profile pages with that template for plants you saw blooming this month. Next month you will use bcpm/leilo/6 for June, etc.

BTW, I have not yet set up the templates, but if you want to also add native/invasive/cultivated status for these plants use the following templates: You can use 2 of the above for plants which are, for example, both native and cultivated, or both invasive and cultivated. Please don't add those tags to genus profiles, unless the entire genus is native to your region :). --SB_Johnny | talk 11:53, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * For native plants, use bcp/leilo/np
 * For invasive or naturalized plants, use bcp/leilo/ip
 * For cultivated plants, use bcp/leilo/gp
 * Very usefull field! i think, invasive is not equal to neophyt? maybe, the latter is easier to define?
 * and, one question: is if possible (to handle for the bot) to log a plant and change the date? last week, i recorded a lot of blooming plants, but had no internet access to log them. -- Turnvater Jahn 02:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, I doubt a bot could really do that (too many variables), but there are plenty of other things a smart bot could do (like maintaining the keys). Let me know if you come up with something though!
 * Not sure what neophyt means. "Invasive or naturalized" means non-native but established as a wild population. --SB_Johnny | talk 10:47, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * By definition, neophytes are plant species, that immigrated to regions not native for them after 1492 due to human activities (or transported by humans?). Species that immigrated before are called archaeophytes. Further, one could distinguish them to non-naturalized and naturalized (in case populations maintain for several generations without human influence). invasive (for the latter) is definded (by the [german env. protection agency]) as having undesired effects on other species, communities or biotopes. so maybe one could categorize:
 * indigenous
 * cultivated
 * archaeophytes
 * neophytes
 * non-naturalized
 * naturalized
 * invasive
 * So i think, non-naturalized does not necessiate cultivated. Just think about repeated transport of diaspores by car tires or cargo ships that causes the continuous occurrence of species near roads or port facilities, that could not persist without diaspore supplies and disturbed habitats. But maybe, this is hair-splitting. -- Turnvater Jahn 15:16, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, the way we've used it so far is that a plant is either native (but not cultivated), native and cultivated, cultivated (but not necessarily invasive/naturalized), cultivated and invasive, or just invasive/naturalized (and not cultivated). It's easier to just use 3 categories since it gets the job done :). --SB_Johnny | talk 16:39, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Oh, great. I just read, that bots can be written in java and python, two languages i master. This will simplify the undertaking. -- Turnvater Jahn 15:38, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Categories
Hiya again :). There's no bot to do that... you add the category like this. "New Region 6 = " will be changed (on all BCP pages!) to "Leipzig Lowlands, Germany = " next time the bot runs through (please don't do it manually... this confuses the poor bot), but the actual data entry has to be done by human editors, using templates in the bcpm series. --SB_Johnny | talk 14:43, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok. Maybe you can add "Chemnitz, foothills Ore Mountains, Saxony" to the regions list then. Isn't the data collection possible by bot, or did you just write none yet? I think, i'll have to deal with such a data collection bot for "my" project on ger wv, so maybe i can also write one for BCP then. But in the moment, i have not a clue about how to write bots in the wiki, yet. -- Turnvater Jahn 03:19, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Sattaricp. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sattaricp~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 23:55, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Nishok. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Nishok~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.

Arbitrary Hour

Arbitrary Hour is a Spring 2009 seminar series is a Student Designed Course at Olin College in Boston, MA. The course is essentially an educational collective in which each student in the course (there are no "teachers" or "professors") gives a one to two hour long seminar on a topic that interests them. The seminar can be about anything, from a hands on baking experience to a discourse on international politics.

Course Background, Description, and Expectations
Arbitrary Hour is a one-credit student organized seminar series for Spring 2009. The course is essentially an educational collective in which each student in the course (there are no "teachers" or "professors") gives a seminar on a topic that interests them. The seminar can be about anything, from a hands on baking experience to a discourse on international politics.

All students enrolled in the course will be required to plan and deliver at least one seminar during the course. All students are required to give written feedback about each seminar to the seminar leader. This will enable us as a group to figure out what makes an effective experience. Students are encouraged to casually post about the seminar experiences (with photos and video!) to the Arbitrary Hour blog.

As a one-credit course, each week includes three hours of expected work time. This translates roughly into two one-hour seminar presentation meetings, with the difference made up by seminar preparation time. During the week in which a participant is delivering a seminar, they are expected to spend additional time planning their seminar, and reviewing feedback and reflecting on their presentation. Additional time can be allotted to publicizing documentation, such as posting about an experience to the blog, keeping the Wikiversity page up to date, and uploading videos.

Seminars
Two hours a week will be allotted for seminars, discussion regarding the seminar, and hands-on practice of whatever topics the seminar covers (if applicable).

A twenty to thirty minute lecturing time limit might be important. It is difficult to give an engaging one hour lecture, and a discussion or hands-on experience is likely more effective for learning.

Free Discussion
Some of the time each week will be allotted for group investigation of our overarching theme of what makes a good seminar. Sessions can cover anything from free form discussion, short readings, videos, and any other interesting material suggested by members of the course.

Feedback and Reflection
Each week every student in the course should write a reflection on the seminar presented. The seminar leader should write about his or her experience running the seminar.

At the end of the course, each student should prepare a written reflection of their experience in the course, and how their experiences in the course have changed the way they think about presentations.

Recording and Archiving
Talks will (hopefully!) be recorded and uploaded to YouTube for posterity.

Competencies
Olin College employs a competency system. The following competencies will be addressed by the Arbitrary Hour course:

 * Life Long Learning
 * Communication

What is a Good Seminar?
In addition to the various documentation produced by the class, students should also present a final reflection addressing the question "What makes a good seminar?" - this should reflect the experiences of both leading and attending a seminar.

'''Question for consideration: should this be individual or team? (answer on the discussion page)'''

How to Join
Sign up for the Arbitrary Hour mailing list at http://lists.olin.edu!

Presentation Descriptions
When you add yourself to the presentation calendar, add a section here with a one paragraph summary of your planned talk.

1/19 - Everyone - Planning the Course
The class meets and decides how to run Arbitrary Hour. In this seminar, we will discuss scheduling issues, as well as the overarching goals and assessment plans for those taking the course. We have Jon Stolk on board as an academic adviser, so we are very near executing Arbitrary Hour.

1/22 - Nikki - How to make a STU course
What are things to think about when creating a STU course? How can we effectively rally support? What is the history (at Olin) of student run courses? In this seminar, we will discuss what it takes to get a STU course running, what the challenges and rewards of a STU course are, and will explore both the history and future of STU courses.

Due to low prep time, this will be a short session.

1/22 - Sallen - Fun Self-Defense
What are some basic blocks? How can I improve my chances for not getting hurt? What's a wrist lock? Why don't people break their feet when they kick hard objects (like other people)? Come and find out a little bit of how I've been trained. The style is mostly Shorinji Kempo with some flares from other martial arts as well. Should be fun and interactive. Questions are most certainly welcomed.

1/27 - Matt Ritter - Getting Involved in a startup company
This presentation will mostly be a story of my involvement with RawSolar during my LOA last year, with attempts to generalize through comparison with the other startups that I've been a part of. I'll cover everything from living cheaply to dealing with investors to talking to the media. Questions are extremely welcome, since I will be delivering a similar talk to the Being a Sustainable Engineer STU course once we get it up and running.

1/27 - Kiefer -O- Hicks - Programming in the Strange
There are many programming languages and techniques that are useful, easy to use, and widely respected in the industry. I will not be talking about any of those. I will cover the hilarious and fascinating dark corners of computer science, and software engineering. Possibly including, but not limited to: BrainF**k, Befunge, Chef, INTERCAL, and Whitespace. I will also cover the basic techniques of code obfuscation, and underhanded programming. The session will be interactive, so bring your laptop. Questions are encouraged.

2/3 - Elana - Newspaper Column Writing
What makes a newspaper column good? Funny? Interesting? Insightful? In this presentation, I will teach the principles of writing a publishable newspaper column. The focus will be on opinion and humor columns, since those are what I'm most experienced writing. Questions welcome!

2/3 - Charlie - Like Vegas but Smarter -- Stock Futures and Options
Why play cards when you can play on the derivatives market? Seriously. On the wild markets of derivative trading every dollar made is a dollar lost. It is mind versus mind, and winners can become incalculably wealthy. Learn how you can make fantastic sums of money, all while limiting your risk to a known quantity.

We will also look at a case study, already known as one of the "most brilliantly conceived transfers of wealth ever." Porsche (yes, the car company), through intelligent trading on the derivatives market, briefly made Volkswagen the most valuable corporation in the world. In the process, they took those evil hedge funds to the cleaners (to the tune of over 30 billion Euros). Come learn the mechanics behind how those evil hedge funds got hosed!!

2/12 - Meryl - Nap On Safely
Nap On Safely is the quick(ish), humorous, and easy certification in safe sleeping. This course will cover the basic principles of safe sleeping that everyone should know before hitting the sack. Topics include classifying your individual sleeping ability, the proper procedure to follow before sleeping, and of course, the buddy system. Students who successfully complete the course will even receive a nifty certification card!

The Nap On Safely course originated as a spoof on Boy Scout waterfront training and has been modified to stress points especially relevant to Olin Students.

2/10 - Boris T- Photography & Photoshop (1hr)
(Subject depth to be determined based on audience experience and interest) The photography part of the course will focus on photographic principles (like repetition, rule of thirds, leading lines, color, exposure, contrast, focal length, composition & cropping), camera functions (ISO, aperture, shutter speed), how to tell if your photos are any good (go on flickr, look at other people's photos), how to take more artistic shots (practice, think of your goal, look at other's photos, hang out with photographers), and nail home the fact that you don't need an expensive camera to take good photos. Examples will be shown.

For the photoshop section, I will cover a basic editing process through a case study in photoshop, showing tools like curves, levels, gradient map, b&w conversion, saturation. Adjustment layers will be explained and emphasized, and masks and their applications will be described as well. Then, slightly more advanced topics like sharpening, dodging and burning, will be covered. Also, I will share personal tips and tricks that I have learned over the years, and all of these topics will be shown through examples.

2/17 - Boris T- Tea! (1/2hr)
Tea is the world's most widely consumed beverage of choice (excluding water, and really, tea is just water) - so isn't it worth learning a little bit more about this magical drink? Learn a bit about the history of tea, the different varieties and their characteristics (pu-erh, black, oolong, green, white, herbal), and even participate in a tea ceremony while learning how to brew this ubiquitous and magical elixir.

2/19 - Kathleen T - "The Game's Afoot!" Sherlock Holmes and the Detective Fiction Genre (1/2hr)
I'll begin with a brief overview of the genre's history and context, moving on to where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his creation, Sherlock Holmes, fall into that continuum. From here, we'll investigate how those literary elements critical to detective fiction--suspense and character--build that page-turning tension that keeps us reading.

There shouldn't be any need for advance reading; though if you're interested I plan to make particular references to "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" and "The Final Problem". Doyle's complete Sherlock Holmes may be found here: http://www.ignisart.com/camdenhouse/canon/index.html

2/24 - Nikki - Jang Mu Won Hapkido - Symbolism, Theory, and Application
We'll start by briefly covering the history of Hapkido, then delve into some of the symbolism and studio culture of the Jang Mu Won school. The better part of the seminar will cover the 3 principles of Hapkido and techniques that utilize these principles. This will be hands-on but not exhausting; wear clothes you can move in but you don't need to dress to work out.

3/10 - tandem with Matt - Boris T- Organizing Your Life & Work Ethics (1/2hr)
Too many events? Meetings? Phone calls? Papers? Homework assignments? Your brain overflowing faster than Chuck Noris' roundhouse kick? Yep. We've all been there. This course will discuss methods that i've picked up over the years on how to get work done, stay organized, and prevent your brain from exploding. Will cover topics like sleep (how to get less and stay functional), lists, organizational software?, and work ethics.

3/10 - tandem with Boris T - Matt Ritter- Organizing Your Life & Work Ethics (1/2hr)
During my Leave of Absence, I had both the opportunity to take a step back from the ceaseless workflow, and the strong need to create a personal system to handle the disparate tasks that I encountered in a startup. I largely failed. However, over the course of the school year, I got better and better at following the structure outlined in the book Zen To Done, which lays out simple steps for capturing, sorting, and completing the wide variety of tasks that come my way. I still mess up, get behind, and completely forget to do things, but with far less frequency than before. If nothing else, you'll learn why I'm always writing on tiny little business cards, sending text messages to myself at awkward moments, and jumping when my computer makes that funny beep.

TBD - Boris T- Things I've learned in my life (1/2hr)
General life lessons that might be helpful to others.

3/12 - Mel Chua - Lipreading (1hr)
Learn how to lipread! We'll look at lipreading both as a primary forms of information input (zero sound) as well as a supplement to lousy audio (crowded noisy rooms), and check out supplementary techniques like body language, markov-based context prediction, environmental manipulation, and conversation-steering that make you look like a way better lipreader than you actually are. We'll also discuss what makes somebody easy or hard to lipread, and how you can train people and shape environments for maximum lipreading facilities, and go over situations where lipreading doesn't work, and alternative strategies you can use in those cases. If you have a small handheld/portable mirror, bring it, or help me find a room with a ginormous mirror we can all look in together.

4/2 - Sarah M Zimmermann - Table Settings
What fork do you use when? Where does the napkin go? What are all those cups for? Learn the art of setting a formal dinner table and using the correct eating instruments. Focus will be on the English manner though Continental(European) standards will also be discussed.

4/2 - Elsa Culler - Something about music
(To be determined)

4/9 - Kiefer Hicks - Using Python Instead of Matlab
The Python Programming Language has a number of modules that can replace much the functionality of matlab. I will discuss exactly how to go about doing that, namely what works well, and what does not, when it is beneficial to use python, and when it really is just better to bite the bullet, and use matlab. Topics discussed will include "MatPlotLib, and NumPy," "A Comparison of Speed," and "A Difference of Data Types."

4/9 - Kiefer Hicks - How to Give Up Caffeine, and Keep Your Sanity
Caffeine is almost certainly the most widely used drugs of the modern age. I will talk about how most of it's users are either addicted to it, or dependant on it, and how to go about giving it up safely and effectively.

4/14 - Nikki - How to be on an IT
Ever wondered what it's like to be on an Honor Board Investigative Team? Want to know exactly what goes down? Generally curious about the process? I'll be covering not only the logistical/procedural aspects of being on an IT, but also the "softer" skills and considerations involved.

4/21 - Mel - All Together Now For Great Justice Dot Org
This took Harvard Law students 2 hours and pre-reading time. We're going to do it all in one.

4/23 - Kathleen T - On Being One of Those Crazy Writing Types
Everything I plan on saying is probably contained in the following three quotes:

There's more to life than books, you know, but not much more.

Write what you know.

Write. Finish things. Keep writing.

Of course, to know who said what and why I think these are integral ideas to the pursuit of writing, you'll have to attend my seminar. Generally, I plan on speaking about how to allocate time and energy to writing amidst Olin's busy rush, how things move from thoughtless scribbles to more finished pieces, and what I, personally, am inspired by/write about/use as ideas.

What Do You Want to Learn About?
Fill this space with topics you would like to learn about. Maybe someone knows a lot about it.

It's kind of like that wall from the movie Accepted.

 * car maintenance
 * cooking
 * making Dim Sum (I will be learning this summer and can theoretically teach it after --Nikki)
 * international politics
 * philosophy
 * rhetoric
 * color theory for web design

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.

User:Millosh/Installation of GNU/Linux system

The aim of this course is to give the full path for the installation of the GNU/Linux system. After this course you should be able to install your system alone.

Such approach is reducing options. In the future maybe there will be described some other options, but now only the relatively straight-forward path will be described.

The path
GNU/Linux has many distributions. Some users prefer one, some others prefer another. There are also a lot of possibilities for the installation process. There are a lot of hardware on which GNU/Linux system may be installed. However, it is not possible to cover all of the possibilities inside of one course.

Because of that we will use the next path:
 * We should assume that we are working on more or less standard PC hardware. While GNU/Linux may be installed on many architectures, we will use the most common one.
 * Our GNU/Linux distribution will be Debian.

User:Alec gordon

An editing comment on the History of Indonesia section of the School of SE Asia texts.

Not the most important comment I shall make in future but important enough.

The Sultanates of Banten and Mataram.

Okay Banten was a Sultanate all right but not Mataram. The only ruler to claim the the title of Sultan was Sultan Agung. He took also the title of Susuhunan and this was the title used by all his 6/7 successors. So it was not a Sultanate. The Javanese used 'Kasunanan'. The contemporary Dutch used the word 'Rijk' equivalent to 'realm' and implying 'kingdom'. Consequently I should go for that last word.

C Programming/Strings

Objective

 * Learn more about arrays, char arrays, and strings.

= String as char array =

There is no string type in C. Instead we have arrays or constants, and we can use them to store sets of characters. The string  can be stored like in the example below.

This creates an array of chars so that  is 'H',   is 'e', etc. In addition, because C allows us to walk off the end of arrays there is a final, terminating character   which is '\0'.

Hypothetically one could create  using:

= String as char pointer =

C-Style strings variables are often dealt with not as an array of chars, but rather as a pointer to the first element of an array of chars sitting in memory. The type "char *" (pronounced char star) is used for this.

The value of spointer is a something like 1386120007. This is a memory address. Literally this means that the data we want is at the 1386120007th byte in memory. We can use the * (star) operator to inspect the data at that address. We find that it is the 'H' in "Hello World!". To get at the 'H' we dereference the pointer using the star operator.

We see that to get at the next value we can simply look at the next memory address (spointer + 1). This is because our string is stored sequentially in memory (unlike in a linked list for example).

Using this memory-address arithmetic and the string terminator discussed above we can very easily walk down a string, doing something at each character:

= String Pointers Pretending to be Arrays =

In the last section we saw that we could access the ith element of a string using

In C this can be rewritten in Array Syntax as follows:

Please note that even though this looks and behaves like an array of characters, it is not. This distinction can cause a lot of confusion for students just starting with pointers. It is recommended that you use the  method for your first few assignments.

If we include string.h, and use the  function to obtain the length of the string and use for loops and structures that may be more familiar to those coming from other languages. The example below also replaces all letters with 'a'.

Beware! strlen returns the length of the string not including the terminating character '\0' . It is very important that you always terminate any string you create, or it will continue through other memory until it finds a '\0'. If you modify some other program's memory your program may crash.

This array-style method is probably more familiar to many programmers not accustomed to pointers. It is strongly recommended however that students new to C do not use this method until they understand pointers. While convenient it hides what is happening inside the computer. Additionally, this method is slower because it looks through the string multiple times (first to determine the length in strlen, and then iterating over it in the for loop).

= Allocating Strings Dynamically =

When creating static strings like "Hello World!" the compiler can allocate the space ahead of time. If your program needs to create a string of varying lengths then you'll have to allocate the memory yourself using malloc.

In duplicating a string, s, for example we would need to find the length of that string:

And then allocate the same amount of space plus one for the terminator and create a variable that points to that area in memory:

This creates the appropriate amount of space and gives us a pointer to the location of the first character. Now we just need to copy the string s over, character by character. This could be accomplished with the while or for loop methods described above.

Brezhoneg C'hwec'h
"Brezhoneg C'hwec'h" is a course in the Breton Department. In this advanced course, students are introduced to elaborate grammar complements and some colloquial texts.

Made in "Breizh" In the context of overall economic crisis, unemployment and anxiety, the Breton people perceive the fact of being Breton as comparatively advantageous. Being Breton equates to being known. The Bretons are aware that they are known throughout the world, that their reputation is for the most part good (this has been confirmed by opinion polls), and that their produce too is well regarded. So, from an economic point of view, the Breton identity is starting to appear worthwhile : for the company bosses, farmers and fishermen it is becoming a lure in itself. The eye is drawn by labels on agricultural or marine products. One does one's best to please, and sells one's charm. Thus one manager in a co-operative union explained : "We pay for our large foreign customers to come and visit Brittany so that they can see the beauty of our countryside and then buy more of our products because they associate them with the countryside.
