Talk:John Daly (golfer)

Untitled
February 24 points here for the death of one John Daly (journalist, game show host) in 1991. Some sort of disambiguation is needed, I guess. --Naddy 12:24, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

It would be informative if someone could include whether or not John's parents and siblings are still alive and if so whether or not he is still closely involved with them. Thank you. 68.34.31.38 (talk) 15:37, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page not moved at this time. The page view stats have this article viewed an order of magnitude more than all the other John Daly articles combined, give or take. On the other hand, the Australian politician was a major figure in the government there in the late 1920s and early 30s, which makes him quite notable even without a legion of page views. It's an interesting enough case that, if it's proposed, it should be formatted as a multi-move, and advertised on the talk pages of the disambiguation page and all of the "John Daly (foo)" pages. This closure does not imply any position for or against such a proposal. - GTBacchus(talk) 05:28, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

John Daly (golfer) → John Daly – Pretty much the primary topic as evidenced by the page views. Marcus  Qwertyus   07:21, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Support: Didn't go through all the traffic stats but seems right and I trust the nominator. –CWenger ( ^ •  @ ) 20:51, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. Seems like a fairly obvious one to me. Jenks24 (talk) 10:29, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose. John Daly (Australian politician) is one of Australia's most famous and colourful politicians to date. This golfer, while famous for several reasons, is not in the same class. I don't claim that the Australian is the primary meaning, but rather that there is none, so the DAB should stay where it is. (And incidentally, this should be discussed as a multiple move, as presumably it's proposed to move not overwrite the DAB.) Andrewa (talk) 07:28, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a Tabloid
The personal life and marriage sections of this Wikipedia article read like a tabloid magazine article. Also, many of the contentious statements found in this article do not have citations for verification. The instructions at the top of this talk page includes the following: "This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous." Therefore, much of the information found under the personal life and marriage sections should be removed immediately to avoid any potential problems.

Storage Wars
I'm not sure if it is worth adding, I've seen it added to several other peoples pages that have been on reality shows, but Daly was on an episode of Storage Wars. I'm not going to add it, someone else can make that decision.Zdawg1029 (talk) 02:32, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Reality show
Daly starred in Being John Daly, on the Golf Channel, which aired in 2010. See, for example, http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/02/arts/television/02being.html. Should be added to article. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 22:06, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation
Shouldn't there be a disambiguation line at the top pointing to John Daly the far-better-known journalist? It would seem that's the normal Wiki model. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.34.131.212 (talk) 18:04, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
 * No. No one is like to get to this page while looking for someone else. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tewapack (talk • contribs) 18:52, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Marriages and children
Currently the information in the infobox field "children" does not match at all what is written in the personal life#marriages section in the body of the article. The infobox lists a different mother to John Jr to what the article's body states and mentions a second daughter not mentioned in the body of the article. Moreover the source used in the infobox is nothing but a name.Tvx1 17:22, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Requested move 4 July 2022

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. This is a fairly ordinary pageviews vs. long-term significance disagreement. Both sides' arguments have some grounding in policy, so given the numerical split I can't say there's a consensus to alter the status quo. (closed by non-admin page mover) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 20:22, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

– The golfer is the primary topic as indicated by |John_Daly_(producer)|John_Daly_(Fenian)|John_Daly_(soccer_coach)|John_Charles_Daly|John_Daly_(cocktail)|John_Donald_Daly|John_B._Daly_(New_York_politician)|John_Lawrence_Daly|John_W._Daly page views. The golfer is getting about three times as many page views as all the other John Daly's listed. About 86 percent of outgoing page views from John Daly are for the golfer. The John Daly cocktail named after the golfer is the third most sought page after John Charles Daly. Schierbecker (talk) 06:26, 4 July 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 13:52, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * John Daly (golfer) → John Daly
 * John Daly → John Daly (disambiguation)
 * Support. The only opposition when this was last proposed in 2011 was based on the long-term significance of John Daly (Australian politician); however, that article is only averaging about 1 click per day |John_Daly_(golfer) and the golfer is a clear primary topic. 162 etc. (talk) 16:14, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The golfer is not so relevant in his sport + a lot of people with the same name, also in the sport John_Daly and trafic page is not the most rilevant indicator of primary topic. MrKeefeJohn (talk) 19:39, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * User:MrKeefeJohn, he is regularly one of the top 10 most viewed Wikipedia golfers on Wikipedia. What do you mean he is not so relevant in his sport? Schierbecker (talk) 19:52, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I looked for some toplist of golfers outside wikipedia and I didn't find him in any of them. For example and . For me popular it's not the same of important and use the visitrate of wikipedia's page to fix what it's important, or not important, it's not correct.MrKeefeJohn (talk) 20:00, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Is Bob Ross the best painter? Has Carl Sagan won the Nobel prize? Can Jack Black bring an audience to tears at the Met? John Daly introduced the game to millions, which is why he is so well known. Schierbecker (talk) 20:37, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * We're talking about John_Daly_(golfer) and not about Bob Ross, Carl Sagan, Jack Black or someone else. I expressed my opinion, I motivated it and I answered to your question. I think it's enough. Please don't try to force to change my mind this way, it doesn't work ;-) Bye! MrKeefeJohn (talk) 20:51, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
 * Oppose. Certainly not more notable than all the other 19 John Dalys on the list combined. When there are so many, a prospective primary topic needs to be overwhelmingly better-known. He is not, unless you happen to be a golf afficionado. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:03, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 * With over 75% of all pageviews (more if you don't count the eponymous cocktail), it appears that he is indeed overwhelmingly better-known. 162 etc. (talk) 16:53, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Pageviews are not the be all and end all of notability! -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:33, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose per MrKeefeJohn and Necrothesp. Upon the John Daly disambiguation page, there are three men listed under "Entertainment", seven men under "Politics", nine men under "Sports" and eleven men under "Other". Thus it does not seem likely that the golfer has greater historical notability than the combined renown of all the other men. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:51, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. The golfer holds a sizable lead in pageviews – six times the average daily views of second-place John Charles Daly, and nine times the views of the third-place cocktail named for the golfer. I took a look at Google and Google News results as well, to get a sense of the relative popularity from non-Wikipedia sources; I checked the first three pages of results for each venue, and both were exclusively about the golfer. Results for "John Daly -golf", meanwhile, were about a mix of different figures (including John Charles Daly, John Daly (producer), a professor at UT Austin, obituaries of non-notable individuals, and – even still – the golfer); this suggests to me that there's not a clear "second place" topic that's meaningfully jockeying with the golfer for primacy. Consequently, I think the evidence supports that the golfer is the primary topic. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 19:41, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The page views are heavily skewed due to systemic bias and recentism. The golfer is the beneficiary of these skewed page views just because he is currently a living person, an American, and a sportsperson (a golfer in particular) competing in this age of the Internet. If Wikipedia and the Internet was around back then when John Charles Daly was alive, for example, I suspect that the newsman's association as the host of the popular American game show What's My Line? (where he was known as simply "John Daly") would have generated an equal amount of page views and various RMs to make him the primary topic or at least a parenthetical disambiguation title. And John Daly (Australian politician), as another example, has another strike against him because he was an Australian in the 1920s-30s and not an American in 2022. If this was a similar situation where a former or current political party's leader in the United States Senate got expelled today from his/her party (specifically either current Majority leader Chuck Schumer or Minority leader Mitch McConnell), there would be 24/7 news coverage all over the American mass media, and the resulting page views and historical notability from that. Zzyzx11 (talk) 07:06, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Most of the 32 daily readers landing on John Daly want and expect the golfer. We shouldn't be forcing them to hunt halfway down a dab page to click on the article they're seeking. Station1 (talk) 04:51, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Zzyzx11 and the historic and prominent journalist. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:22, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Formula editor

A formula editor is a computer program that is used to typeset mathematical formulas and mathematical expressions.

Formula editors typically serve two purposes:
 * They allow word processing and publication of technical content either for print publication, or to generate raster images for web pages or screen presentations.
 * They provide a means for users to specify input to computational systems that is easier to read and check than plain text input and output from computational systems that is easy to understand or ready for publication.

Content for formula editors can be provided manually using a markup language, e.g. TeX or MathML, via a point-and-click GUI, or as computer generated results from symbolic computations such as Mathematica.

Typical features include the ability to nest fractions, radicals, superscripts, subscripts, overscripts and underscripts together with special characters such as mathematical symbols, arrows and scalable parentheses.

Some systems are capable of re-formatting formulae into simpler forms or to adjust line-breaking automatically, while preserving the mathematical meaning of a formula.

Peter Lax

Peter David Lax (born Lax Péter Dávid; 1 May 1926) is a Hungarian-born American mathematician and Abel Prize laureate working in the areas of pure and applied mathematics.

Lax has made important contributions to integrable systems, fluid dynamics and shock waves, solitonic physics, hyperbolic conservation laws, and mathematical and scientific computing, among other fields.

In a 1958 paper Lax stated a conjecture about matrix representations for third order hyperbolic polynomials which remained unproven for over four decades. Interest in the "Lax conjecture" grew as mathematicians working in several different areas recognized the importance of its implications in their field, until it was finally proven to be true in 2003.

Life and education
Lax was born in Budapest, Hungary to a Jewish family. He began displaying an interest in mathematics at age twelve, and soon his parents hired Rózsa Péter as a tutor for him. His parents Klara Kornfield and Henry Lax were both physicians and his uncle Albert Kornfeld (also known as Albert Korodi) was a mathematician, as well as a friend of Leó Szilárd.

The family left Hungary on 15 November 1941, and traveled via Lisbon to the United States. As a high school student at Stuyvesant High School, Lax took no math classes but did compete on the school math team. During this time, he met with John von Neumann, Richard Courant, and Paul Erdős, who introduced him to Albert Einstein.

As he was still 17 when he finished high school, he could avoid military service, and was able to study for three semesters at New York University. He attended a complex analysis class in the role of a student, but ended up taking over as instructor. He met his future wife, Anneli Cahn (married to her first husband at that time) in this class.

Before being able to complete his studies, Lax was drafted into the U.S. Army. After basic training, the Army sent him to Texas A&M University for more studies. He was then sent to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and soon afterwards to the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, New Mexico. At Los Alamos, he began working as a calculator operator, but eventually moved on to higher-level mathematics.

After the war ended, he remained with the Army at Los Alamos for another year, while taking courses at the University of New Mexico, then studied at Stanford University for a semester with Gábor Szegő and George Pólya.

Lax returned to NYU for the 1946–1947 academic year, and by pooling credits from the four universities at which he had studied, he graduated that year. He stayed at NYU for his graduate studies, marrying Anneli in 1948 and earning a PhD in 1949 under the supervision of Kurt O. Friedrichs.

Lax holds a faculty position in the Department of Mathematics, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University.

Awards and honors
He is a member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters and the National Academy of Sciences, USA, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society. He won a Lester R. Ford Award in 1966 and again in 1973. In 1974 his shock wave article also won the Chauvenet Prize. He was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1986, the Wolf Prize in 1987, the Abel Prize in 2005 and the Lomonosov Gold Medal in 2013. The American Mathematical Society selected him as its Gibbs Lecturer for 2007. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.

Lax is listed as an ISI highly cited researcher. According to György Marx he was one of The Martians.

Lax also received an Honorary Doctorate from Heriot-Watt University in 1990.

The CDC 6600 incident
In 1970, as part of an anti-war protest, the Transcendental Students took hostage a CDC 6600 super computer at NYU's Courant Institute which Lax had been instrumental in acquiring; the students demanded $100,000 in ransom to provide bail for a member of the Black Panthers. Some of the students present attempted to destroy the computer with incendiary devices, but Lax and colleagues managed to disable the devices and save the machine.

Charting application

A charting application is a computer program that is used to create a graphical representation (a chart) based on some non-graphical data that is entered by a user, most often through a spreadsheet application, but also through a dedicated specific scientific application (such as through a symbolic mathematics computing system, or a proprietary data collection application), or using an online spreadsheet service.

There are several online charting services available, the most popular one being the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences' NCES Chart.

Talk:Divisor function

What is the divisor function?
The header defines "the divisor function" as σ0, and then mentions the "related" divisor summatory function, but does not mention σ1. The articles on perfect number, deficient number, abundant number, etc use "the divisor function" as σ1. Sumbuddy who's a better mathemetician than me should make this consistent. — Randall Bart 08:26, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The article does mention $$\sigma_1$$: it is in the first few sentences under "definition". I changed some mentions of "the divisor function" to "the sum-of-divisors function" in a few articles for clarity, though $$\sigma$$ is a divisor function, so it is proper to say "the divisor function $$\sigma$$".  Hopefully this change will make things more clear.  Doctormatt 21:14, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

No, you can't say "the divisor function $$\sigma$$" if you want to write clearly. The devisor function is d(n). $$\sigma$$ is shorthand for $$\sigma_1$$ with is the sum-of-divisors function. The family of sigma-sub-k functions is a family of sum-of-divisor functions. The divisor function can be expressed as a sum-of-divisor function. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.142.105.226 (talk) 15:17, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Approximate Growth
The "Approximate Growth" section should probably be split in two. It is currently easy to read the first sentence talking about the "divisor function" and skim down to the end of the section and get confused into thinking that sigma(n) refers to the divisor function. Separate sections on the growth rate of the divisor function vs the sigma function would seem to be appropriate.

From this section, it is not immediately obvious what might be used as a simple function f(n) that approximates the gross smooth behavior of d(n). For my application, I'm trying to define a 'divisor density' function that computes d(n) / f(n) where f(n) is the typical number of divisors of numbers that are near 'n'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.142.105.226 (talk) 14:52, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Suggestion
Omit unclear sentences like

"This summation also appears as the Fourier series of the Eisenstein series and the invariants of the Weierstrass elliptic functions."

unless they can be changed to clear ones. The Fourier series of which Eisenstein series?

No doubt this makes perfect mathematical sense. That is not the question. The question is whether it is explained so that most people who read it for the first time are able to understand what they are reading.

It is not. 2600:1700:E1C0:F340:C8EF:22B1:3B92:C52C (talk) 05:01, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Table of values

 * Much better now! Thank you!    —Anita5192 (talk) 08:08, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Multiplicativity
There is currently a note asking for a proof sketch as to why the divisor function is multiplicative, saying it does not appear obvious.

It is obvious, given the simple result that if $$f$$ is a multiplicative function, then

 * $$ F(n) = \sum_{d \mid n} f(d) $$

is also multiplicative. This is a special case of the Dirichlet convolution of multiplicative functions being multiplicative (convolve with the constant 1 function).

Since $$f_x(n) = n^x$$ is (completely) multiplicative for all $$x$$, so is $$\sigma_x$$.

I'm not sure how best to integrate this information into the brief sentence about multiplicativity. Extracurriculars (talk) 21:27, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Utterly confusing article
The article's first section is as follows:

"In mathematics, and specifically in number theory, a divisor function is an arithmetic function related to the divisors of an integer. When referred to as the divisor function, it counts the number of divisors of an integer (including 1 and the number itself). It appears in a number of remarkable identities, including relationships on the Riemann zeta function and the Eisenstein series of modular forms. Divisor functions were studied by Ramanujan, who gave a number of important congruences and identities; these are treated separately in the article Ramanujan's sum.

"A related function is the divisor summatory function, which, as the name implies, is a sum over the divisor function." "The notations d(n), ν(n) and τ(n) (for the German Teiler = divisors) are also used to denote σ0(n), or the number-of-divisors function. When z is 1, the function is called the sigma function or sum-of-divisors function, and the subscript is often omitted, so σ(n) is the same as σ1(n)."

But then the definition is as follows:

"The sum of positive divisors function σz(n), for a real or complex number z, is defined as the sum of the zth powers of the positive divisors of n. It can be expressed in sigma notation as

 * $$\sigma_z(n)=\sum_{d\mid n} d^z\,\! ,$$

where $${d\mid n}$$ is shorthand for "d divides n"."

Is it really necessary to present the definition in such utmost generality, and leave readers wondering how this connects to "counting the divisors" ... until they may notice that this is the case of z = 0 if they are lucky.

The next sentence breezily fixes this problem ... but only if a reader gets that far without giving up because the article appears to be about a different subject.

Suggestion: The article should just define the @#$%^&* divisor function as described in the introduction. Then in the next section define the generalization (or give the generalization its own article). 2601:200:C000:1A0:98F:4BB9:DFD5:F0CE (talk) 19:48, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

halp !!
is the tau of any prime numbre 1????? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:3D09:1580:9600:1C8A:57FA:9F13:B64F (talk) 21:47, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

 * No, tau of every prime number is 2. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 00:38, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Clarification needed
The first sentence of the section Definition reads as follows:

"The sum of positive divisors function σz(n), for a real or complex number z, is defined as the sum of the zth powers of the positive divisors of n."

But because in general complex exponentiation is multivalued, it ought to be mentioned that if z here is not a real number, the expression dz for a divisor d should be understood to mean exp(ln(d) z), which is well-defined since d > 0.

I hope that someone knowledgeable about this subject can add this information.

Electrodeless plasma excitation

Electrodeless plasma excitation methods include helicon plasma sources, inductively coupled plasmas, and surface-wave-sustained discharges.

Electrodeless high-frequency discharges (HF) have two important advantages over plasmas using electrodes, like capacitively coupled plasmas that are of great interest for contemporary plasma research and applications:

 * Firstly, no sputtering of the electrodes occurs. However, depending on ion energy, sputtering of the reactor walls or the substrate may still occur.  Under conditions typical for plasma modification purposes, the ion energy in electrodeless HF discharges is about an order of magnitude lower than in RF discharges.  This way, the contamination of the gas phase and damage of the substrate surface can be reduced.
 * Secondly, the surface-wave effect allows to generate spatially extended plasmas with electron densities that exceed the critical density.

Piercing the Darkness

Piercing the Darkness, which was published in 1989, is a sequel to Frank E. Peretti's novel This Present Darkness. It shows contemporary views on angels, demons, prayer and the spiritual realm. Piercing the Darkness won the ECPA Gold Medallion Book Award for best fiction in 1990. The book, along with This Present Darkness, has been instrumental in promoting belief among Christians in Territorial Spirits. They have also increased an interest in spiritual warfare. Combined, This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness have sold 3.5 million copies.

Plot summary
The novel follows the journey of Sally Beth Roe as she tries to escape her past and slowly overcomes her constant struggle to discern the truth. Also told is the story of another small town, similar to that of This Present Darkness and called Bacon's Corner, and a resident named Tom Harris. His children are removed from his home by Child Services. Seeming to have no connection with other events at first, a young police officer, Ben Cole, is convinced what is being brushed off as a suicide is actually a murder, and ends up losing his job over the issue, which brings him to the side of an embattled Christian school. Caught in the crossfire is Amber, a girl who's been forced into a curriculum of "meditation techniques" and "inner spiritual guides" that control her moods, attitudes, and actions, and her mother Lucy who realizes this lawsuit and the people who are "helping" her may be much, much more than she bargained for. Before the paths that Sally Roe and Tom Harris (and the others) are on collide, the Ashton Clarion editor and his wife, Marshall and Kate Hogan (from This Present Darkness), make a return appearance as veteran fighters in this war against the powers of darkness that threaten freedom of religion everywhere. As the story unfolds, the lawsuit and its participants are soon locked in a struggle of ethics versus non-ethics, absolutes versus relativism, right versus wrong, and those with interest in this battle are shown to be even in the highest places of government.

Talk:Freudian slip

Future suggestions
The "Evidence" section of the article is significantly less worked on than "Alternative explanations." I suggest adding more information to "Evidence." In addition to that, I believe talking about the development of the Freudian slip going back to the individual who misquoted a Latin phrase from "The Aeneid" would be beneficial to the article. This seems like relevant information. --Fermentedtoes (talk) 04:21, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Eric Ambler

Eric Clifford Ambler OBE (28 June 1909 – 22 October 1998) was an English author of thrillers, in particular spy novels, who introduced a new realism to the genre. Also working as a screenwriter, Ambler used the pseudonym Eliot Reed for books co-written with Charles Rodda.

Life
Ambler was born in Charlton, South-East London, into a family of entertainers who ran a puppet show, with which he helped in his early years. Both parents also worked as music hall artists. He later studied engineering at the Northampton Polytechnic Institute in Islington (now City, University of London) and served a traineeship with an engineering company. However, his upbringing as an entertainer proved dominant and he soon moved to writing plays and other works. By the early 1930s, he was a copywriter at an advertising agency in London. After resigning, he moved to Paris, where he met and in 1939 married Louise Crombie, an American fashion correspondent.

Ambler was then politically a staunch antifascist and, like many others, tended to regard the Soviet Union as the only real counterweight to fascist aggression, which was reflected in the fact that some of his early books included Soviet agents depicted positively and as sympathetic characters, the undoubted allies of the protagonist.

Like numerous like-minded people in different countries, Ambler was shocked and disillusioned by the German-Soviet Pact of 1939. His postwar anticommunist novel Judgment on Deltchev (1951), based on the Stalinist purge trials in Eastern Europe, caused him to be reviled by many former Communist Party and other progressive associates. When the Second World War broke out, Ambler entered the army as a private soldier. He was commissioned into the Royal Artillery in 1941. He was soon reassigned to photographic units. He ended the war as a lieutenant-colonel and an assistant director of the Army Film and Photographic Unit.

After the war, he worked in the civilian film industry as a screenwriter, receiving an Academy Award nomination for his work on the film The Cruel Sea (1953), adapted from the novel by Nicholas Monsarrat. He did not resume writing under his own name until 1951, when he entered the second of his two distinct periods in his writing.

Five of his six early works are regarded as classic thrillers. He created the 1960 American detective TV series Checkmate.

Ambler divorced Crombie in May 1958 and married the same year British-born Joan Harrison, a film producer, screenwriter and associate of Alfred and Alma Hitchcock. The couple moved to Switzerland in 1969 and back to Britain 16 years later. Harrison died in 1994 in London. Ambler died in 1998.

In 2008, his estate transferred all of Ambler's copyrights and other legal and commercial rights to Owatonna Media, which sold the copyrights to Coolabi Plc in 2009 but retained a master licence in radio and audio rights. These rights are commercially licensed in the UK and abroad.

Writing career
Ambler's best-known works are probably The Mask of Dimitrios (1939) (published in the US under the title A Coffin for Dimitrios), which was made into a film in 1944, and The Light of Day (1962), filmed in 1964 as Topkapi. He was also a successful screenwriter and lived in Los Angeles in his later years. Other classic movies based on his work include Journey into Fear (1943), starring Joseph Cotten, and an original screenplay, The October Man (1947). He wrote the screenplay for A Night to Remember about the sinking of the Titanic, along with many other screenplays, particularly those concerning stories and adventures at sea. He published his autobiography in 1985, Here Lies.

In contrast to most other spy novels published before his, the protagonists in Ambler's novels are rarely professional spies, policemen or counterintelligence operatives. They are usually amateurs who find themselves unwillingly in the company of hardened criminals, revolutionaries or spies. The protagonist usually begins out of his depth, but nonetheless eventually manages to surprise himself as well as the professionals with decisive actions that outwit his far more experienced opponents.

That plot is used, for example, in Journey into Fear, Epitaph for a Spy, The Mask of Dimitrios, The Night-Comers/State of Siege, Passage of Arms, The Light of Day, Dirty Story, The Levanter, and Doctor Frigo.

Another recurring plot element is statelessness and exile: characters who are exiled from their homelands or who face the danger of being exiled and not granted residence in any country.

Many authors of international thrillers have acknowledged a debt to Ambler, including Graham Greene, Ian Fleming, John le Carré, Julian Symons, Alan Furst, and Frederick Forsyth.

You know, not once in this entire article does it state what city Christ Church is in. I know it's should be obvious, but still. Just some info.

OXFORD! Hence "Christ Church, Oxford" at the top of the page

A foreign Prime Minister?
there's a bit a of disagreement as to whether or not Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto should be in the image gallery of alumni. While I don't think that he should displace Wesley or Locke, nevertheless it seems a reasonable addition in order to include a foreign prime minister. I don't think that it matter too much to expand the image gallery by one. Klbrain (talk) 08:39, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Plasma afterglow

A plasma afterglow (also afterglow) is the radiation emitted from a plasma after the source of ionization is removed. The external electromagnetic fields that sustained the plasma glow are absent or insufficient to maintain the discharge in the afterglow. A plasma afterglow can either be a temporal, due to an interrupted (pulsed) plasma source, or spatial, due to a distant plasma source. In the afterglow, plasma-generated species de-excite and participate in secondary chemical reactions that tend to form stable species. Depending on the gas composition, super-elastic collisions may continue to sustain the plasma in the afterglow for a while by releasing the energy stored in rovibronic degrees of freedom of the atoms and molecules of the plasma. Especially in molecular gases, the plasma chemistry in the afterglow is significantly different from the plasma glow. The afterglow of a plasma is still a plasma and as thus retains most of the properties of a plasma.

History
The first published pictures of plasma afterglow were taken in 1953.

Helium afterglow, one of the most commonly used forms of afterglow, was first described in 1963 by Arthur L. Schmeltekopf Jr. and  H. P. Broida.

The first flowing afterglow ionization studies began in the early 1960s in an effort to understand atmospheric ion chemistry. At the time stationary afterglow studies had already been done however this approach was limited by lack of versatility and lacked consistency as studies done prior to 1964 showed common atmospheric reactions to have drastically differing reaction rates between studies. Flowing-afterglow was then used to more precisely describe the rate constants of common atmospheric reactions

Remote plasma
A remote plasma refers to a plasma that is spatially separated from the external electromagnetic fields that initiate the discharge. An afterglow is a remote plasma if the plasma is channeled away from the original plasma source.

An advantage that remote plasma has over temporal plasma is that remote plasma can be used as a continuous plasma source and thus has more applications in supplying reagent ions for most systems.

Remote plasmas are often used in the field of analytical chemistry when a constant stream of ions is required. They are also very commonly used a method of cleaning complex vacuum systems without having to take them apart.

Temporal plasma
A temporal plasma refers to an afterglow from a plasma source that is time delineated. Removing the source of excitation allows for an afterglow to be present in the same space that the initial plasma was excited for a short time.

An advantage that temporal plasma has over remote plasma is that it can be contained in a closed system and thus makes controlling the temperature and pressure is easier.

Temporal plasma is often used to replicate ionic reactions in atmospheric conditions in a controlled environment.

Flowing afterglow
A flowing afterglow is an ion source that is used to create ions in a flow of inert gas, typically helium or argon. Flowing afterglow ion sources usually consist of a dielectric discharge that gases are channeled through to be excited and thus made into plasma. Flowing afterglow ion sources can be coupled with a selected-ion flow-tube for selection of reactant ions. When this ion source is coupled with mass spectrometry it is referred to as flowing afterglow mass spectrometry.

Flowing-afterglow mass spectrometry uses a flowing afterglow to create protonated water cluster ions in a helium or argon carrier gas in a flow tube that react with sample molecules that are measured by a mass spectrometer downstream. These systems can be used for trace gas analysis. This works by keeping the initial ionization source spatially separated from the target analyte and channeling the afterglow of the initial ionization towards the analyte. Analytes are added downstream to create ion products. Ions Detection of ions is usually accomplished using a mass spectrometer or by optical spectroscopy.

Stationary afterglow
Stationary afterglow (SA) is a technique for studying remote plasma that consist of a gaseous mixture inside a bulb that is subjected to an ionizing pulse. After said ionizing pulse the ion composition of the mixture is measured as a function of time at the wall of the containing bulb. Stationary afterglow methods are often used to study atmospheric reactions as they mimic atmospheric conditions in a controlled environment.

Cleaning and sterilization
Plasma afterglow has shown to be an effective means of cleaning and sterilizing difficult to take apart machinery and glassware. Plasma cleaning uses remote plasma sources to generate an afterglow that is ventilated into the system to be cleaned and then the afterglow ions react with the contaminants. When oxygen is used as the carrier gas, ionized oxygen species react with heavier organic compounds to form H2O, CO2, and CO. These products are then easily vented from the system effectively removing organic contaminants from the system. This provides the advantage of not having to take systems apart and thus saves time on disassembly and on vacuum systems it saves time changing the pressure of the system.

This plasma cleaning method is especially effective for chemical vapor deposition methods where cleanliness is a key part of productivity.

Resonator mode

In the resonator mode, the plasma density does not exceed the critical density. A standing electromagnetic wave, which is confined by a resonator cavity, penetrates the plasma and sustains it in the regions of highest field intensity. The geometry of this region determines the spatial distribution of the plasma. Plasmas excited in resonator mode are less resistant against detuning, for instance by the insertion of electric probes (Langmuir probes) or electrically conducting samples compared to surface-wave plasmas. There, the high plasma density better shields disturbing potentials.

Würzburg (district)

Würzburg is a Landkreis (district) in the northwestern part of Bavaria, Germany. Neighboring districts are (from the north, clockwise) Main-Spessart, Schweinfurt, Kitzingen, Neustadt (Aisch)-Bad Windsheim, and the district Main-Tauber in Baden-Württemberg. The city Würzburg is not part of the district, although it is completely enclosed by it.

History
In 1852, districts were created in the region, including the two precursor districts of Würzburg and Ochsenfurt. In 1972 the previous district Würzburg was merged with the former district Ochsenfurt, and several municipalities from the districts Marktheidenfeld, Karlstadt, Kitzingen and Gerolzhofen were added to form the district with today's borders.

Economy
In 2017 (latest data available) the GDP per inhabitant was €28,681. This places the district 86th out of 96 districts (rural and urban) in Bavaria (overall average: €46,698).

Partnerships
The district has sister city-like partnerships with these regions:
 * 🇮🇱 - Mateh Yehuda Regional Council, Israel
 * 🇨🇿 - Olomouc Region, Czech Republic

Coat of arms
The district coat of arms might be described thus: Per fess in chief gules dancetty of three argent, in base per pale argent two lions passant guardant sable armed and langued of the first and azure a fleur-de-lis Or.

In chief (the upper part of the coat of arms) is the "Franconian Rake", the symbol of the former Bishopric of Wurzburg. In base, on the dexter (armsbearer’s right, viewer’s left) side, the fleur-de-lis is the symbol of the St. Burkhard Abbey in Würzburg, while the lions on the sinister (armsbearer’s left, viewer’s right) side derive from the coat of arms of the former Ochsenfurt district.

 * Zeal - Looks like an ad for zeal.com. Darkcore 05:14, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: advert. Wile E. Heresiarch 06:11, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * 1000's of people where members of the Zeal community building a very large Website Directory, it was very interactive compared to others.
 * What utter nonsense, you two! - I'm one of several thousand volunteers who have been profiling non-commercial websites on Zeal for several years.

 * No vote, but google search for "zeal" brings up zeal.com as the first entry. How major is the site? Isomorphic 09:51, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Thanks for a reasoned approach, Isomorphic. Until MSN pulled out, Zeal profiles appeared on a claimed 77% of all web searches conducted in the USA (and probably similar percentages in other countries). Over 3,000 of the profiles are of Wikipedia pages. :robinp 00:12, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * The reason you haven't heard of it, Oberiko, is that its profiles are purchased by other search organisations and used without needing acknowledgment. Despite the loss of MSN, Zeal says it is still used by "Lycos, InfoSpace, RoadRunner, CNET, Inktomi, and LookSmart.com." robinp 00:12, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * Sorry. See this version of VfD for the Zeal that was out of control on fmt. Davodd 05:26, Feb 24, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. If this goes, others, such as Open Directory Project must also go. I'm not a Zeal editor, but it's the main competition to the ODP, and a fairly major directory, with a large body of editors. If it being short is a problem, I'm happy to work on it to ensure that it stays. Ambivalenthysteria Feb 24, 2004 (UTC)

Vote to keep. Sure the page needs work. They all did at one time. But it is as valid an entry as any of the other search engine entries here. Vote against attaching it to Looksmart at this time given the heavy anti bias in that listing.--Jlo45 22:25, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Closing, March 2006
Zealots and other visitors on and after 21 March 2006 were presented with the following message, added to all six community messageboards by a previously unknown "editor" who had apparently been "created" to write those six messages:

 * Zeal to shut down on March 28
 * Dear Valued Zealots and Contributors,

 * Thank you for being a part of the Zeal community and contributing your time and knowledge to the Directory. After trying to put the deserved resources behind Zeal, we have made the conscious decision to shut down Zeal.com. On March 28, 2006 Zeal will no longer be available. We are not selling Zeal.com and have no future plans for it at this time.

Some of us took up the offer and stored our favourite categories and/or list of contributed profiles.

Now this page can serve as a reunion point for sad ex-contributors.

Robin Patterson 22:22, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

After 28 March (UTC) a message similar to the above was what a former Zeal bookmark/favorite (or not yet reworded LookSmart link such as "Help build the best search") led us to. Zeal Web pages that had been FURLed were still available for display under "My copy" and could be emailed to other people. I had done all of my list of 2315 contributed profiles, about 100 of my favourite categories (mostly New Zealand, Scotland, and Washington), and the user pages of the top 10 point-earners and about 10 other friends. Maybe we can assemble a list of who saved what, for exchanging? Maybe we can do it automatically through FURL categories?? (Caution: "tramage" can't find everything she FURLed.)

Profiles and categories are still on LookSmart; eg several profiles I wrote at http://www.looksmart.com/r_search?key=plimmerton and a link to the corresponding category, including its description. But for how long?

Talk:Eckankar

Untitled
Where is the criticism section? ECK is classified as a "cult like organization" in its home state

Broken Link
Apologize this is not the correct way to do. Ref 13 link to VA is broken. New link is: http://www.cem.va.gov/hmm/emblems.asp Thanks.

monotheistic or panentheistic??
In the opening paragraph of this article is states that "Eckankar is a monotheistic religion[citation needed]"

As someone who has been involved in the religion for several years I have to contend that the supreme god or "Sugmad" of Eckankar is conceived far more in terms of a pantheistic deity and not strictly monotheistic. I have no clear citations to give but a cursory glance of Eckankar literature concerning the Sugmad would likely convince anyone engaged in Theology or Religious Studies that this is the conception they have of the ultimate creator. Also, there is a well known sub-deity named "Kal" who controls the "lower planes" of existence and can be compared to concepts such as Satan or the Demiurge yet is still working within the spiritual hierarchy of Eckankar and seen, largely, as lesser deity under the control of Sugmad. Eckankar scripture also affirms the existence of many gods, specifically the Hindu "triad" of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, as well as Shakti and Ganesha, and sees these as lesser sub-deities. It is therefore my contention that Eckankar cannot be properly called a "monotheistic" religion. Thank you.

Material deleted by Sarunfeldt from the Lead of the article. This may be re-added to the Lead of the article.
David Christopher Lane has written that the founder of Eckankar, Paul Twitchell, plagiarized material for his books The Far Country,The Tiger's Fang, Letters to Gail, and Shariyad-Ki-Sugmad from the writings of Julian Johnson. Lane has also stated that many of the ideas in Eckankar originate in the teachings of Kirpal Singh who had been a teacher of Paul Twitchell. The word 'Eckankar' is believed to be derived from Ik Onkar, which is a term used in Sikhism to denote God. Since the combination of 'Ik' (meaning 'One') and 'Onkar' (meaning 'God' or 'Transcendental') to form the word 'Ekankar' had been done by Julian Johnson in his book The Path of the Masters, Twitchell's innovation is believed to have been adding a 'c' to transform the word into 'Eckankar' which enabled him to give a distinct name to his organization.

== The section 'Twitchell and Kirpal Singh' deleted by Sarunfeldt is under discussion. It seems like the Twitchell article would be a much more appropriate location for this. I believe it would add unnecessary clutter and move this article further from the guidelines set by the New Religions Work Group and WikiProjects Religion. I think this is true for much of the text that appears to keep getting added back en-mass. ==

Twitchell and Kirpal Singh
According to David Christopher Lane, many ideas in Eckankar originate in the teachings of Kirpal Singh. "It was Kirpal Singh who, arguably, had the greatest impact on Twitchell and the theology behind Eckankar," writes Lane. In 1955 Kirpal Singh visited the US, and during this visit Twitchell was initiated by him as a disciple. Around this time (1956–1957), writes Lane, Twitchell confided in Betty Shifflet and Wave Sanderson (both disciples of Kirpal Singh) that Kirpal Singh would appear before him in his Nuri Sarup (light body) form over the week-end and dictate a book to him. In this regard, according to Lane, Kirpal Singh had commented: “Paul Twitchell used to write to me every week, ‘Master came and sat down on the chair and dictated his teachings to me. He published them in the Tiger’s Fang.’” And Twitchell had written at this time: “I have talked with and taken down the words of Kirpal Singh who appeared in my apartment in Nauri-raup [sic], his light body, although his physical body was six-thousand miles away in India.” Between 1965 and 1967 Orion magazine published in installments Twitchell's piece The Flute of God in which he acknowledged that he had been a disciple of Kirpal Singh. However, when this book was published in book form later, Twitchell had scrubbed off any references to Kirpal Singh. The reason for Twitchell's desire to severe his ties with his former teacher, according to Lane, is that Twitchell had developed serious differences with Kirpal Singh. Twitchell's book The Tiger's Fang originally made several references to Kirpal Singh. In subsequent additions of the book, writes Lane, these were all changed and made to become references to the fictional Sudar Singh or Rebazar Tarzs depending on the context.

Lane quotes Kirpal Singh, speaking about Twitchell, and stating: "“I tell you one American was initiated by me—I’ve got the initiation report in his own handwriting.Then he wrote to me, ‘The Master’s Form appears to me inside.’ That form used to speak to him, dictate to him, inside. And all that dictation was put into a book and the manuscript was sent to me in 1963. Later he sent me another letter, “Return my book, The Tiger’s Fang.” I returned his book. That was dictated by me on the inner planes, and that’s all right. He changed that book before printing; where he mentioned my name, he changed it to another guru’s name.”"

According to Lane one of Kirpal Singh's disciples, Stuart Judd, later wrote that Kirpal Singh was extremely unhappy with the books and letters he would keep receiving from Twitchell, where Twitchell was claiming that he had reached Sach Khand, and had compared Paul Twitchell with Judas. Twitchell, meanwhile, according to Lane, had written to Kirpal Singh threatening to file a lawsuit for defamation and stating that: "I have never recognized you as a master, or that you give initiations, and that your work is not in the best interest of spirituality. Your teachings are orthodox, and as a preacher you are not capable of assisting anyone spiritually."

Lane comments that: "Twitchell genealogically dissociated himself and his group from key anchors in his past and in so doing assured that Eckankar would be autonomous. If he had not severed his ties to his former teachers, Twitchell might be viewed as merely an offshoot (of which there are many) from more orthodox Sant Mat lineages. As it stands, most Eckists do not know about Twitchell’s former spiritual teachers, and Eckankar literature purged most of their names from the official records as well."

Darwin Gross
Twitchell was succeeded by Darwin Gross as the Living Eck Master, who served in this position for ten years after which he appointed Harold Klemp as the Living Eck Master in 1981. Prior to resigning as the Living Eck Master in 1981, Gross had signed a contract with Eckankar which would:"pay him $65,000 for life, plus other perks such as use of a company automobile (and insurance), complete medical and dental coverage, entertainment expenses, and other assorted business expenses." However, this contract was terminated in August 1983 by Eckankar after Gross's dispute with Harold Klemp.

Harold Klemp
(This material has not been deleted.)

Dispute between Darwin Gross and Harold Klemp
Two years after Darwin Gross appointed Harold Klemp as the new Living Eck Master, Klemp excommunicated Gross, banned Gross's books on Eckankar from sale, and sued Gross for copyright infringement and financial misdemeanors. In January 1984, Klemp officially wrote to Gross stating that he had been excommunicated from Eckankar. In February 1984, Gross wrote a widely circulated letter to followers of Eckankar giving his perspective on his dispute with Klemp. Writing in 2006, David Christopher Lane noted that Gross is not associated with Eckankar in any way now, and has started an Eckankar offshoot called Ancient Teachings of the Masters(ATOM).

Wikipedia Conflicts
I read on another page, for Eckankar, the cult started in the 20th century, click here. That makes me want to know why it is a cult, so I come here and it sounds, except for three lines in the criticism section, which aren't super-critical, like it's been written by an Eckankar follower who knows how to write a piece as objective yet favorable as a superficial newspaper article. Anybody wanna explain? Anybody wanna change either the cult phrasing or the article?

Hi James. Angela noticed what university you came from and asked me if we knew each other. Are you on holidays? You missed out on a great time at Avoca. -- Tim Starling 13:21, Feb 24, 2004 (UTC)

Hey, I haven't done enought to go to Avoca. Doesn't matter. Anyway, I just thought I'd do a bit. I asked my brother to do some sound engineering stuff, and he thought the pages were rubbish, Microphones and Sound_recording. Here goes a timestamp... JamesHoadley 07:47, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hi James. I noticed your edits on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and etc. and decided your degree of intellect was worth considerable conversation. I appreciate your explanation for the exchange of kinetic energy to potential energy. I am interested in space exploration, obviously, and have contributed a bit to articles regarding it. I have also written the sample return mission article. Anyways, I thought an introduction was in order. My name is John and I from Tennessee in the United States. It is nice to meet you. --Marsbound2024 22:28, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, nice to hear that John. The Sample return mission page is excellent, kind of different from most Wikipedia articles, because it's a summary article that goes across many different missions. For instance, the Apollo mission page is a summary of the ~11 missions, plus gives some of the political background. These pages tend to have lots of raw information dumped on them, and it's a lot of work to get a coherent article going. User:Evil_Monkey managed to do this on Apollo 8. JamesHoadley 03:23, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the encouragement as I am relatively new to Wikipedia (on the scale of several months, but only a few months for active participation). Evil_Monkey created a great article with Apollo 8.  Good transitioning.  Perhaps articles I create in the future will be even better than the sample return mission one.  --Marsbound2024 18:10, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:RFactor-06-05bmwsauber2.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:RFactor-06-05bmwsauber2.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 17:18, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Pelageya Polubarinova-Kochina

Pelageya Yakovlevna Polubarinova-Kochina (Пелаге́я Я́ковлевна Полуба́ринова-Ко́чина; 13 May 1899 – 3 July 1999) was a Soviet and Russian applied mathematician, known for her work on fluid mechanics and hydrodynamics, particularly, the application of Fuchsian equations, as well in the history of mathematics. She was elected a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union in 1946 and full member (academician) in 1958.

Biography
Born on 13 May 1899 in the Russian Empire to an accountant and a housewife, Pelageya was the second youngest of four children. She studied at a women's high school in Saint Petersburg and went on to Petrograd University (after the Russian Revolution). After her father died in 1918, she started working at the laboratory of geophysics under the supervision of Alexander Friedmann. There she met Nikolai Kochin; they were married in 1925 and had two daughters. The two taught at Petrograd University until 1934, when they moved to Moscow, where Nikolai Kochin took a teaching position at the Moscow University. In Moscow, Polubarinova-Kochina did research at the Steklov Institute until World War II, when she and their daughters were evacuated to Kazan while Kochin stayed in Moscow to work on aiding the military effort. He died before the war was over.

After the war, she edited his lectures and continued to teach applied mathematics. She was later head of the department of theoretical mechanics at the University of Novosibirsk and director of the department of applied hydrodynamics at the Hydrodynamics Institute. She was one of the founders of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (then the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union) at Novosibirsk.

She was awarded the Stalin Prize in 1946, was made a Hero of Socialist Labour in 1969 and received the Order of Friendship of Peoples in 1979. She died in 1999, a few months after her 100th birthday, and shortly after publishing her last scientific article.
