Proposed deletion of Northwest Anarchist Federation

The article Northwest Anarchist Federation has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * Very little notability - certainly no reliable sources or significant coverage. One very very brief mention in an academic paper on anarchist groups (i.e. to say they exist)

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Errant (chat!) 14:12, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Rhizome Collective

A tag has been placed on Rhizome Collective requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion".

Hello - thanks for participating. One suggestion: when you're commenting on talk pages, you can sign and date your comments by typing ~. That makes it easier to see who's talking without having to check the edit history. Let me know if you have any other questions. ←Hob 07:57, 2004 Oct 21 (UTC)

More thanks for participating
Hello and all that. Good to see you're doing okay. Don't worry about User:Jimmyvanthach being aggressive and getting into edit wars with him. Those who know him know he's a POV-pushing liar and I'm trying to get him banned through the arbitration committee, but that'll take a little time. Dunc|☺ 12:22, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

distorting history
I love history, that is what I do. What I find both infuriating, and a bit confusing, is the efforts of some charlatan to tack himself onto the coat tails of a past dynasty to further his own political agenda. What's confusing is that the Nguyen Dynasty was never that popular to begin with. Public uprising in favor of the VietMinh forced the last nominal monarch to abdicate and then, as well as in 1955, when the Nguyen were ousted, no one was upset about it. They were almost always tied to the efforts of the French to rule the country. It seems to me they could have picked a more popular dynasty to try and ape.

I've been trying to add some more articles on the history of Vietnam, with more details, but from a neutral point of view. I honor and respect the memory of the emperors, but I think it is sheer ridiculousness to try and advocate turning the clock back. Asian monarchies as a rule don't have "restorations", once the Mandate of Heaven is lost, you can't get it back again, it goes to someone else. Personally, it doesn't seem to me that any of these people have the first clue of the actual history and traditions they are talking about. They certainly don't seem to know anything about research or credible sources for information.

User:NguyenHue

This is absurd
When will you get it through your head that having someone repeat false information does not make it true? The International Monarchist League Directory you keep citing says specifically that it does not endorse every group listed on its website. If you're so well-connected with all these "princes" why do you need me to give you Vinh San's address? Look it up on his website. As for all of Buu Chanh's name changes, why don't you try reading his book, or perhaps even he is confused on what he is at this point?

You cannot prove something that is impossible, nor does it help to keep claiming that there are alleged professors who "confirm" any of this; no one can confirm anything because it is an absolute impossibility. Why don't you provide proof of Bao Long's endorsement if you have it? Not that such a thing would matter either. You seem incapable of accepting reality, so let me try again to lay it out for you:

In Vietnamese tradition, the only way a relative could become a prince was for the Emperor to make him one (i.e. a patent of nobility).

The monarchy ended in 1945 when the last Emperor, of his own free will, abdicated in favor of Ho Chi Minh. According to Buu Chanh, he was born only a few years before this happened, so there is NO way that he could have been made a prince, nor is it possible for Bao Dai to give anyone any position whatsoever after that time because he was not emperor anymore, he was a common citizen with no more power or privelage than you or I.

Did you ever stop to think, with all of your illustrious education, that maybe the time to do reasearch would be before spamming the web with flattering claims of this guy being "Imperial Highness Prince-Regent"? The record of you and your group here has not exactly been exemplary at following the rules and reasoned, objective discourse.

Bao Long addition
Nguyen Hue, I have initiated a biography for Crown Prince Bao Long, it is nuetral, would you please look it over and make any additional facts that you know of. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bao_Long Jimmyvanthach 15:25, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Mate, just ignore him. He's a first class crank. Dunc|☺ 16:39, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I am aware
Most of the past bio's and pictures they have been posting here are copied material. My neighbor actually wrote the bio of Bao Long for the Tran Dinh website they keep passing around (I helped him with the English). From all I have seen, they have done nothing themself, simply copy work done by others, even from the "Royal Ark" website, whose author they have denounced as a "communist". They're a joke, insulting to the actual families of the kings, all of whom I have contacted are very reasonable, realistic and humble individuals, quite content to be regular people and not 'insulted' by the fact that no one is kotowing to them anymore. NguyenHue

 * I was just trying to encourage you not to get wound up by his aggressive actions. Well it seems that the arbitration committee are voting on this; see Requests for arbitration/Jimmyvanthach/Proposed decision so it looks like he's in for a ban on editing articles relating to Vietnamese royalty, real or otherwise, but we are going to have to sort out the mess he's made. The likelihood is that most of it, including the copyvios will be deleted. Dunc|☺ 17:36, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Request from User:Hawstom (Tom)
I wonder if you would be willing to move your latest explanatory edits at Nguyen Phuc Buu Chanh to the talk page at leave the "boring version" the way it was previous to your edits unto you and Jimmy can agreed on additions. This would be the most appropriate way to proceed with a controversial subject according to our Wikipedia policy. I am hoping that the two of you can do this on you own peaceably. I do not think amy material should be added or should have been added until there is a consensus at the talk page. Tom - Talk 17:02, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

and more...
Can you please elaborate on what you understand is going on with Nguyen Phuc Buu Chanh and generally what has happened to the claimants of the Imperial Crown since the fall of South Vietnam to the communists? There is a bit of a cultural divide between us Westerners and you, so I'd like to learn but I may ask some silly questions.

How is the throne inherited - eldest son, eldest child, chosen son, other way? i.e. is there anyone who takes preference over Nguyen Phuc Buu Chanh. Is Nguyen Phuc Buu Chanh a legitimate descendent of the last emperor? Is there a story behind him Nguyen Phuc Buu Chanh; and what about these orders that he dishes out? I think I'm almost there in my understanding but not quite... Dunc|☺ 20:22, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I'm getting on top of this now. Can you work out who the real claimant to the throne is (the eldest son of the Emperor, or his sons if he is dead)?  I've seen him mentioned, but I would like a name. Dunc|☺ 12:20, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks for all that. We're going to have to create a report on this chap to see what's legitimate and what's not and then watch him like a hawk, and if he steps out of line block him. It doesn't exactly help that he can't write coherent English.  Anyway, what do you know about Vietnamese War generals?  Dunc|☺ 21:26, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

That depends; which Vietnamese war and which generals? NguyenHue

/admin enforcement requested
Requests for arbitration/Jimmyvanthach/Proposed decision has almost come up with the following (I think it needs two more arbitrator votes to close the motion).

 * User Jimmyvanthach, User Celindgrenand and User Tran Van Ba are banned from editing articles which relate to the royal family of Vietnam and articles which relate to the recent history and politics of Vietnam.

 * Edits by User Jimmyvanthach, User Celindgrenand and User Tran Van Ba to articles which relate to the former royal family of Vietnam or to the recent history and politics of Vietnam may be removed by any user. In the event the banned users attempt to restore removed edits they may be banned by any administrator for a brief period (a day or less but up to a week in the event of repeat offenses).

I take it you broadly know the procedures? List image copyright violations on WP:CP, and chunks of text too. Dunc|☺ 12:19, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Oh no I see, /admin enforcement requested. Images that are over a hundred years old or so are public domain, but text found on the Internet isn't. Dunc|☺ 12:33, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Most of the images are considerably more recent than 1904 (if 100 years is the limit). As long as he doesn't try to repost them, I won't bother with the listing. Considering how long it takes for anything like this to be handled it seems easier to just do reversions myself. I would think though that after a while things like this would begin to add up. Frankly, I'm amazed the impersonations were not reason enough to have him banned long ago. NguyenHue 06:52, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)NguyenHue

If you were aware of the history of the original poster of this article you would know how futile that is. He did the same thing with a Vietnamese pretender (that man's website even linked to the Wikipedia article as "proof" of his standing). He was banned from editing articles on Vietnamese royalty, so is now inserting his name & links on other articles. The only reason Shwebomin article is here is because he is partners with the Vietnamese pretender, both of whom seem to be hoping to gain "legitimacy by association" by having their pictures taken with notable people and cozying up with the Lao royals (who unlike these phonies actually have at least a little popular support among the Laotians).

If you'd like to justify your claims, go ahead on Talk:Southeast Asia Imperial & Royal League. But that revert war wasn't getting anyone anywhere.

reply
I have a history degree, and contacted the Nguyen Dynasty for research that I was conducting about the Royal Family of Vietnam. Chancellor Tran Van Ba replied to me, and asked me to research some Nguyen Dynasty Historical paperwork sent me in an email. I was very grateful that I was given the chance to view Nguyen Dynasty documents, that I then translated in English and sent it back to him, for his website, and I also used it for my History chapter of the Royal Family of Vietnam, particular the Nguyen Dynasty.

 * And to do this, you felt it necessary to post a ton of unsubstantiated articles on Wikipedia impersonating Tran Van Ba and C E Lindgren? You just happened to start beating the same drum when these two usernames were banned? unlikely.

Van Thach is not be, and I stated it is not me, not ever Nguyen, Pham, Le, Quach, Tran, Duong, Phan, Ngo or Thach with the same last name are not related.

 * says you

I have no accusations against Joseph Crisp, Nguyen Thi Linh, Nguyen Trung De, or their associates in Texas. I read their websites and then informed and questions Chancellor Tran Van Ba, of the accusations they have made against the Nguyen Dynasty and Prince Nguyen Phuc Buu Chanh. I have come to the conclusion that I believe Chancellor Tran Van Ba, because of his long service to Emperor Bao Dai, and the Nguyen Dynasty, he told me that you were expelled from the Nguyen Dynasty.

 * Was this before or after YOU were calling yourself Tran Van Ba, just curious?

Also that there was removal of Nguyen Dynasty material that was taken without authorization, from their library. From my own conclusion, I felt it was important to bring this to light to the wikipedia community.

 * And the problems of your pathetic group are of interest to Wikipedia because...

I have never used any vulgar language, negative comments against you, or your group. On the other hand, you have used negative terms, "Rev. Moon", "absurb", "fringe group", to name a few, which is totally not acceptable.

 * The only difference between "Rev" Moon and Buu Chanh is one decided to name himself king and the other decided to name himself prince.

I have not violated the ARBCOM ruling and I have contacted not only BNguyen of your bias but other members on wikipedia.

 * You responded to comments directed at Bnguyen as an attack on YOU. This revealed your little charade and has not gone unnoticed by the Arb committee. Perhaps you can explain why claiming you are another person is an attack, yet when you claim I am another person, you seem to find that completely acceptable. Those personal attacks were made by you, not any of your aliases.

I am not a member but just conducting research on the Nguyen Dynasty does not mean I am member but I do have alot of respect and reverance for the Imperial Family of Vietnam that has been working for the goodness of the people.

 * Funny how the only "research" you've been able to present here comes from these people you revere so intensely. You just admitted your own bias right there.

As well, as I am a republican and feel that President Bush in his determination to lead this country in this time of war.--Jimmyvanthach 14:39, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

NguyenHue 20:29, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)NguyenHue
 * Most republicans I know do not go around kowtowing to every self-proclaimed prince. If you believe in republicanism you should devote your energies to supporting the equality of all people instead of those who insist on grand-sounding titles to put themselves above everyone else. But, then again, if you think George Bush is such a great president, you obviously have alot of problems. Bush likes to think he's a king too.

Nguyen dynasty
Hi mate,

I think you'll just have to go ahead and revert them. The community here can't deal with idiots like him unfortunately. You could try to find someone with an interest in Vietnamese history and so on, but as I understand it most of them were puppets of the Frech and it is difficult to be nice about them.

And it's not just the Nyugen pages either, there is a whole infestation of bloody creationists that tick me off too. It's more than my life's worth to fight it though. Dunc|☺ 21:02, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Tour de Force (38 Special album)

Requested move
I oppose the proposed move, the article title tour de force should be reserved for an article documenting the traditional sense of the term, not an infomercial for some obscure 1980's album. 67.117.130.181 21:21, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree. There doesn't even appear to be an article for the original term. It baffles me that someone would assume that it's likely that people looking for "tour de force" would be looking for, well, this. Ville V. Kokko 13:49, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

when I as looking for "tour de force" I was hoping to get something else, not this; I don't know really what it means, but I can assure you the true meaning is not this.

Chevrolet Beretta

The Chevrolet Beretta is a coupé that was produced by Chevrolet from 1987 until 1996. Alongside the four-door Chevrolet Corsica, the Beretta served as the successor to the Chevrolet Citation. Slotted between the Cavalier and Lumina/Monte Carlo coupes, the Beretta was distinguished by its vertical door handles mounted on the B-pillar, a design feature later used by the Chevrolet Lumina coupe and its GM W-body counterparts.

The Beretta shared the front-wheel drive GM L platform with the Corsica; replacing the X-body platform, the L-body was designed by Chevrolet, with the rest of General Motors using the Oldsmobile-designed N-body. The body was designed in the same design studio as the contemporary Camaro and Corvette. For 1990, a Beretta convertible conversion was selected as the Indianapolis 500 pace car; though a replica was initially considered as a convertible, the production replica was offered as a coupe.

During its production, the Beretta was assembled alongside the Corsica and Pontiac Tempest sedans (the latter, sold only in Canada) in GM facilities in Wilmington, Delaware, and Linden, New Jersey.

Models and changes
Base model Berettas were equipped with the same powertrain as the Chevrolet Cavalier, the 2.2 L OHV 4-cylinder engine and the 3-speed automatic transmission by default, or the 60-degree V6. A 5-speed manual was available only by special order if paired with the 2.2 L OHV, however very few special orders ever took place, and the 3-speed automatic was the default option.

The GT included a 125 hp 2.8-liter V6, which grew to a 3.1 L in 1990, and the Z51 suspension package with 15-inch styled steel wheels and Goodyear Eagle GT tires. Also included was a sport cloth interior and sport steering wheel. The GTU was available from 1988 until the 1990 model year. Beretta GTUs (with the FE7 suspension package) were shipped to Cars and Concepts where they were equipped with 16x7-inch aluminum alloy wheels, custom body kits, a rear spoiler, mirrors, custom trim, and decals. With the FE7 Chevrolet claimed the Beretta GTU would deliver 0.92 g on the skid pad, a claim that most magazines of the day failed to duplicate. GTUs were only available in black, red and white.

The GTZ, which replaced the GTU, took over as the high-performance version of the Beretta. It was produced from 1990 until 1993. It came standard with Oldsmobile's 2.3-liter, high output Quad 4 inline-four, which produced 180 hp and 160 lbft of torque, giving it a 0–60 mph time of 7.6 seconds. Also standard was a Getrag 5-speed manual transmission and GM's FE7 performance suspension.

Motor Trend's only complaint was the Quad 4's NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) and noted it was one of the most raucous engines of its time. Beginning in 1991, the 3.1 L V6 could be had as an option on the GTZ, but it was only available with a 3-speed automatic transmission that increased the 0-to-60 mph time to around 9.0 seconds. The 3.1 L V6 was standard on 1990–1992 GT models and optional for all base models and GTs in 1992. Starting in the 1994 model year, the 3.1 L V6 could only be ordered with an automatic transmission.

The 1991 model year saw major interior updates, including a new dashboard and center console and the addition of a driver's side airbag.

In 1994, the GT and GTZ were replaced by the Beretta Z26, which put it squarely between the Cavalier Z24 and Lumina Z34 in Chevrolet's lineup. The Z26 had a 0–60 mph time of 8.3 seconds. The 3.1 L V6 was redesigned and became the 3100 V6 and gained 20 hp at 160. The new 3100 V6 was only available with a new 4-speed automatic transmission. The Quad 4 HO lost a total of 10 hp (7 kW) in 1994, its last year of production, down to 170 hp. The 2.3 L Quad 4 was only available with a 5-speed manual transmission. In 1995, the 3100 V6 lost 5 hp, down to 155 hp, which also carried on to the 1996 model.

Beretta sales steadily declined every year of production as the market turned away from 2-door models. In 1996, Chevrolet ended production of both the Beretta and Corsica after 10 model years. The Corsica was replaced by the Chevrolet Malibu in 1997. The last Beretta was assembled on July 30, 1996.

Trademark issue
General Motors was sued by Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta for trademark infringement involving their use of the Beretta name for a car. The suit was settled out of court in 1989; GM and Beretta exchanged symbolic gifts: a Beretta GTU coupe and a pair of Beretta shotguns. General Motors donated US$500,000 to a Beretta-sponsored charity which was also affiliated with the GM Cancer Research Foundation.

Motorsport
The Beretta, using a splayed valve 4.5 liter 90 degree V6 engine, won the Trans Am Series championship in 1990.

Cartel clock

A cartel clock is a cartouche shaped clock designed to hang directly on a wall, very commonly executed in fire-gilt bronze (a.k.a. ormolu). The form is a more unified development from a wall-mounted bracket clock standing upon its separate, complementary bracket characteristic of the Régence (1715–23), which continued to be stylish in Paris through the 1740s. In Paris, where the ébéniste's wooden contribution to the case and wall bracket, conceived as complements in design, was by degrees overshadowed by gilt-bronze mounts. wholly gilt-bronze bracket clock cases became most common by ca 1730. The cartel clock, incorporating clock case and bracket in a single unified organic sculptural conception, was a Rococo invention initiated in Paris. Highly ornate Rococo examples exist, with flowing, asymmetrical and curvilinear designs, the most notable being a series of unified cartel clocks in half a dozen related models, dateable to the 1730s and 40s and attributed (some of them signed) to Charles Cressent. The style that originated in Paris was used there from ca 1730 through the reign of Louis XV. With the return of classicism under Louis XVI, however, cartel clocks fell from favour in Paris, where the domestic clock moved to the mantel. In provincial French cities, and elsewhere on the Continent, cartel clocks were made in the neoclassical style (illustration, right) The style was adapted in Austria, Sweden and Switzerland, with the style used for clocks executed in wood and decorated with gold leaf. Such cartel clocks were made into the 19th century. With the "Second Rococo" beginning ca 1830, mid-18th century models were revived or imitated.

Organizational behavior

Organizational behavior or organisational behaviour (see spelling differences) is the "study of human behavior in organizational settings, the interface between human behavior and the organization, and the organization itself". Organizational behavioral research can be categorized in at least three ways:
 * individuals in organizations (micro-level)
 * work groups (meso-level)
 * how organizations behave (macro-level)

Chester Barnard recognized that individuals behave differently when acting in their organizational role than when acting separately from the organization. Organizational behavior researchers study the behavior of individuals primarily in their organizational roles. One of the main goals of organizational behavior research is "to revitalize organizational theory and develop a better conceptualization of organizational life".

Relation to industrial and organizational psychology
Miner (2006) mentioned that "there is a certain arbitrariness" in identifying a "point at which organizational behavior became established as a distinct discipline" (p. 56), suggesting that it could have emerged in the 1940s or 1950s. He also underlined the fact that the industrial psychology division of the American Psychological Association did not add "organizational" to its name until 1970, "long after organizational behavior had clearly come into existence" (p. 56), noting that a similar situation arose in sociology. Although there are similarities and differences between the two disciplines, there is still confusion around differentiating organizational behavior and organizational psychology.

History
As a multi-disciplinary science, organizational behavior has been influenced by developments in a number of related disciplines, including sociology, industrial/organizational psychology, and economics.

The Industrial Revolution is a period from the 1760s where new technologies resulted in the adoption of new manufacturing techniques and increased mechanization. In his famous iron cage metaphor, Max Weber raised concerns over the reduction in religious and vocational work experiences. Weber claimed that the Industrial Revolution's focus on efficiency constrained the worker to a kind of "prison" and "stripped a worker of their individuality". The significant social and cultural changes caused by the Industrial Revolution also gave rise to new forms of organization. Weber analyzed one of these organizations and came to the conclusion that bureaucracy was "an organization that rested on rational-legal principles and maximized technical efficiency."

A number of organizational behavioral practitioners documented their ideas about management and organization. The best known theories today originate from Henri Fayol, Chester Barnard, and Mary Parker Follet. All three of them drew from their experience to develop a model of effective organizational management, and each of their theories independently shared a focus on human behavior and motivation. One of the first management consultants, Frederick Taylor, was a 19th-century engineer who applied an approach known as the scientific management. Taylor advocated for maximizing task efficiency through the scientific method. The scientific method was further refined by Lillian and Frank Gilbreth, who utilized time and motion study to further improve worker efficiency. In the early 20th century the idea of Fordism emerged. Named after automobile mogul Henry Ford, the method relied on the standardization of production through the use of assembly lines. This allowed unskilled workers to produce complex products efficiently. Sorenson later clarified that Fordism developed independently of Taylor. Fordism can be explained as the application of bureaucratic and scientific management principles to whole manufacturing process. The success of the scientific method and Fordism resulted in the widespread adoption of these methods.

In the 1920s, the Hawthorne Works Western Electric factory commissioned the first of what was to become known as the Hawthorne Studies. These studies initially adhered to the traditional scientific method, but also investigated whether workers would be more productive with higher or lower lighting levels. The results showed that regardless of lighting levels, when workers were being studied, productivity increased, but when the studies ended, worker productivity would return to normal. In following experiments, Elton Mayo concluded that job performance and the so-called Hawthorne Effect was strongly correlated to social relationships and job content. Following the Hawthorne Studies motivation became a focal point in the Organizational behavioral community. A range of theories emerged in the 1950s and 1960s and include theories from notable Organizational behavioral researchers such as: Frederick Herzberg, Abraham Maslow, David McClelland, Victor Vroom, and Douglas McGregor. These theories underline employee motivation, work performance, and job satisfaction.

Herbert Simon's Administrative Behavior introduced a number of important Organizational behavior concepts, most notably decision-making. Simon, along with Chester Barnard, argued that people make decisions differently inside an organization when compared to their decisions outside of an organization. While classical economic theories assume that people are rational decision-makers, Simon argued a contrary point. He argued that cognition is limited because of bounded rationality For example, decision-makers often employ satisficing, the process of utilizing the first marginally acceptable solution rather than the most optimal solution. Simon was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics for his work on organizational decision-making. In the 1960s and 1970s, the field started to become more quantitative and resource dependent. This gave rise to contingency theory, institutional theory, and organizational ecology. Starting in the 1980s, cultural explanations of organizations and organizational change became areas of study, in concert with fields such as anthropology, psychology and sociology.

Current state of the field
Research in and the teaching of Organizational behavior primarily takes place in university management departments in colleges of business. Sometimes Organizational Behavioral topics are taught in industrial and organizational psychology graduate programs.

There have been additional developments in Organizational behavior research and practice. Anthropology has become increasingly influential, and led to the idea that one can understand firms as communities, by introducing concepts such as organizational culture, organizational rituals, and symbolic acts. Leadership studies have also become part of Organizational behavior, although a single unifying theory remains elusive. Organizational behavioral researchers have shown increased interest in ethics and its importance in an organization. Some Organizational behavioral researchers have become interested in the aesthetic sphere of organizations.

Research methods used
A variety of methods are used in organizational behavior, many of which are found in other social sciences.

Quantitative methods
Quantitative research allows organizational behavior to be studied/compared through numerical data. A key advantage of quantitative studies is that their efficient examinations of large groups can be studied at lower costs and in less time. This form of research studies more of the broad study.

Statistical methods used in OB research commonly include correlation, analysis of variance, meta-analysis, multilevel modeling, multiple regression, structural equation modeling, and time series analysis

Computer simulation
Computer simulation is a prominent method in organizational behavior. While there are many uses for computer simulation, most Organizational behavioral researchers have used computer simulation to understand how organizations or firms operate. More recently, however, researchers have also started to apply computer simulation to understand individual behavior at a micro-level, focusing on individual and interpersonal cognition and behavior such as the thought processes and behaviors that make up teamwork.

Qualitative methods
Qualitative research consists of several methods of inquiry that generally do not involve the quantification of variables.This procedure builds and structure patterns of individual behavior. An advantage of qualitative research is that it provides a clearer picture of an organization. Qualitative methods can range from the content analysis of interviews or written material to written narratives of observations. Meaning that qualitative research goes more in depth of their studies as opposed to the entirety. Common methods include ethnography, case studies, historical methods, and interviews.

Consulting
Consultants use principles developed in organizational behavior research to assess clients' organizational problems and provide high quality services. A robust framework to analyze the consultant-client relationship is key in the success of any consulting engagement.

Counterproductive work behavior
Counterproductive work behavior is employee behavior that harms or intends to harm an organization.

Decision-making
Many Organizational behavior researchers embrace the rational planning model. Decision-making research often focuses on how decisions are ordinarily made (normative decision-making), how thinkers arrive at a particular judgement (descriptive decision-making), and how to improve this decision-making (descriptive decision-making).

Effects of diversity and inclusion
Companies that focus on diversity and inclusion are able to benefit from advantages such as better retention and less intention by staff to quit, increased job satisfaction, lower levels of stress and job withdrawal, higher levels of creativity and innovation, as well as less on-the-job conflict. Diversity, or focusing on differences between individuals and groups is of course important, organizations that have a culture that values the unique perspectives and contributions of all employees, also known as inclusion, may be able to move the needle from not engaged to engaged.

Employee mistreatment
There are several types of mistreatments that employees endure in organizations, including: Abusive supervision, bullying, incivility, and sexual harassment. Employees in an organization being mistreated also can suffer work withdrawal. Withdrawing from an organization can be in the form of being late, not fully participating in work duties, or looking for a new job. Employees may file grievances in an organization with retrospect to a procedure or policy or mistreatment with human interactions.

Abusive supervision
Abusive supervision is the extent to which a supervisor engages in a pattern of behavior that harms subordinates.

Bullying
Although definitions of workplace bullying vary, it involves a repeated pattern of harmful behaviors directed towards an individual. In order for a behavior to be termed bullying, the individual or individuals doing the harm have to possess (either singly or jointly) more power on any level than the victim.

Incivility
Workplace incivility consists of low-intensity discourteous and rude behavior and is characterized by an ambiguous intent to harm, and the violation of social norms governing appropriate workplace behavior.

Sexual harassment
Sexual harassment is behavior that denigrates or mistreats an individual due to his or her gender, often creating an offensive workplace that interferes with job performance.

Job-related attitudes and emotions
Organizational behavior deals with employee attitudes and feelings, including job satisfaction, organizational commitment, job involvement and emotional labor. Job satisfaction reflects the feelings an employee has about his or her job or facets of the job, such as pay or supervision. Organizational commitment represents the extent to which employees feel attached to their organization. Job involvement is the extent to which an individual identifies with their job and considers it a material component of their self-worth. Emotional labor concerns the requirement that an employee display certain emotions, such smiling at customers, even when the employee does not feel the emotion he or she is required to display.

Leadership
There have been a number of theories that concern leadership. Early theories focused on characteristics of leaders, while later theories focused on leader behavior, and conditions under which leaders can be effective. Among these approaches are contingency theory, the consideration and initiating structure model, leader-member exchange or LMX theory, path-goal theory, behavioural modification and transformational leadership theory.

Contingency theory indicates that good leadership depends on characteristics of the leader and the situation. The Ohio State Leadership Studies identified dimensions of leadership known as consideration (showing concern and respect for subordinates) and initiating structure (assigning tasks and setting performance goals). LMX theory focuses on exchange relationships between individual supervisor-subordinate pairs. Path-goal theory is a contingency theory linking appropriate leader style to organizational conditions and subordinate personality. Transformational leadership theory concerns the behaviors leaders engage in that inspire high levels of motivation and performance in followers. The idea of charismatic leadership is part of transformational leadership theory. In behavioural modification, the leader's reward power (ability to give or withhold reward and punishment) is the focus and the importance of giving contingent (vs non-contingent) rewards is emphasized.

Managerial roles
In the late 1960s Henry Mintzberg, a graduate student at MIT, carefully studied the activities of five executives. On the basis of his observations, Mintzberg arrived at three categories that subsume managerial roles: interpersonal roles, decisional roles, and informational roles.

Motivation
Retaining talented and successful employees is a key factor for a company to maintain a competitive advantage. An environment where people can use their talent effectively can help motivate even the most smart, hard-working, difficult individuals. Building great people relies on engagement through motivation and behavioral practices (O'Reilly, C., and Pfeffer, J., 2000). Baron and Greenberg (2008) wrote that motivation involves "the set of processes that arouse, direct, and maintain human behavior toward attaining some goal." There are several different theories of motivation relevant to Organizational Behavior, including equity theory, expectancy theory, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, incentive theory, organizational justice theory, Herzberg's two-factor theory, and Theory X and Theory Y.

Types of motivation
Intrinsic Motivation- This behavior happens out of the pure thought of an individual’s need. Not as compensation. This behavior is used out of the pure need of self-motivation. It is the need to prove one’s self worth. Extrinsic motivation is triggered by external rewards. Meaning, the need for a reward outside of themselves feeling accomplished. This can be brought to them by a pay raise, bonuses, rewards like gift cards and many other sorts.

Public Relations
Public relations is the practice of managing the communication between the public and the organization, therefore public relations is also related to organizational behavior.

National culture
National culture is thought to affect the behavior of individuals in organizations. This idea is exemplified by Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory. Hofstede surveyed a large number of cultures and identified six dimensions of national cultures that influence the behavior of individuals in organizations. These dimensions include power distance, individualism vs. collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity vs. femininity, long-term orientation vs. short term orientation, and indulgence vs. restraint.

Organizational behavior policies
Organizational behavior policies inside organizations such as employee dating, are rules that can be applied to employees with fairness. Labor relations, leadership, diversity and inclusion policies, will have more satisfied employees with organizational behavior policies. Policy implications are underutilized in organizations. But the need for implications is important.

Organizational citizenship behavior
Organizational citizenship behavior is behavior that goes beyond assigned tasks and contributes to the well-being of organizations.

Organizational culture
Organizational culture reflects the values and behaviors that are commonly observed in an organization. Investigators who pursue this line of research assume that organizations can be characterized by cultural dimensions such as beliefs, values, rituals, symbols, and so forth. Researchers have developed models for understanding an organization's culture or developed typologies of organizational culture. Edgar Schein developed a model for understanding organizational culture. He identified three levels of organizational culture: (a) artifacts and behaviors, (b) espoused values, and (c) shared basic assumptions. Specific cultures have been related to organizational performance and effectiveness.

Personality
Personality concerns consistent patterns of behavior, cognition, and emotion in individuals. The study of personality in organizations has generally focused on the relation of specific traits to employee performance. There has been a particular focus on the Big Five personality traits, which refers to five overarching personality traits.

Occupational stress
There are number of ways to characterize occupational stress. One way of characterizing it is to term it an imbalance between job demands (aspects of the job that require mental or physical effort) and resources that help manage the demands.

Work–family conflict
Chester Barnard recognized that individuals behave differently when acting in their work role than when acting in roles outside their work role. Work–family conflict occurs when the demands of family and work roles are incompatible, and the demands of at least one role interfere with the discharge of the demands of the other.

Organization theory
Organization theory is concerned with explaining the workings of an organization as a whole or of many organizations. The focus of organizational theory is to understand the structure and processes of organizations and how organizations interact with each other and the larger society.

Bureaucracy
Max Weber argued that bureaucracy involved the application of rational-legal authority to the organization of work, making bureaucracy the most technically efficient form of organization. Weber enumerated a number of principles of bureaucratic organization including: a formal organizational hierarchy, management by rules, organization by functional specialty, selecting people based on their skills and technical qualifications, an "up-focused" (to organization's board or shareholders) or "in-focused" (to the organization itself) mission, and a purposefully impersonal environment (e.g., applying the same rules and structures to all members of the organization). These rules reflect Weberian "ideal types," and how they are enacted in organizations varies according to local conditions. Charles Perrow extended Weber's work, arguing that all organizations can be understood in terms of bureaucracy and that organizational failures are more often a result of insufficient application of bureaucratic principles.

Economic theories of organization
At least three theories are relevant here, theory of the firm, transaction cost economics, and agency theory.

Theories pertaining to organizational structures
Theories pertaining to organizational structures and dynamics include complexity theory, French and Raven's five bases of power, hybrid organization theory, informal organizational theory, resource dependence theory, and Mintzberg's organigraph.

Systems theory
The systems framework is also fundamental to organizational theory. Organizations are complex, goal-oriented entities. Alexander Bogdanov, an early thinker in the field, developed his tectology, a theory widely considered a precursor of Bertalanffy's general systems theory. One of the aims of general systems theory was to model human organizations. Kurt Lewin, a social psychologist, was influential in developing a systems perspective with regard to organizations. He coined the term "systems of ideology," partly based on his frustration with behaviorist psychology, which he believed to be an obstacle to sustainable work in psychology. Niklas Luhmann, a sociologist, developed a sociological systems theory.

Organizational ecology
Organizational ecology models apply concepts from evolutionary theory to the study of populations of organizations, focusing on birth (founding), growth and change, and death (firm mortality). In this view, organizations are 'selected' based on their fit with their operating environment.

Scientific management
Scientific management refers to an approach to management based on principles of engineering. It focuses on incentives and other practices empirically shown to improve productivity.

Contributing disciplines

 * Anthropology
 * Human resources management
 * Industrial/organizational psychology
 * Personality psychology
 * Social psychology
 * Sociology

Inputs
Inputs are the variables like personality, group structure, and organization culture that lead to processes. These variables set the stage for what will occur in an organization later.

Processes
Processes are actions that individuals, groups, and organisations engage in as a result of inputs and that lead to certain outcomes.

Outcomes
Outcomes are the key variables that you want to explain or predict, and that are affected by some other variables.

Inputs-Mediators-Outputs-Inputs (IMOI) framework
Adding to the IPO model, the IMOI framework emphasizes that outputs can also become subsequent inputs, creating a cyclical process.

Frobenius endomorphism

In commutative algebra and field theory, the Frobenius endomorphism (after Ferdinand Georg Frobenius) is a special endomorphism of commutative rings with prime characteristic $p$, an important class that includes finite fields. The endomorphism maps every element to its $p$-th power. In certain contexts it is an automorphism, but this is not true in general.

Definition
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with prime characteristic $p$ (an integral domain of positive characteristic always has prime characteristic, for example). The Frobenius endomorphism F is defined by

 * $$F(r) = r^p$$

for all r in R. It respects the multiplication of R:

 * $$F(rs) = (rs)^p = r^ps^p = F(r)F(s),$$

and $F(1)$ is 1 as well. Moreover, it also respects the addition of $R$. The expression $(r + s)^{p}$ can be expanded using the binomial theorem. Because $p$ is prime, it divides $p!$ but not any $q!$ for $q < p$; it therefore will divide the numerator, but not the denominator, of the explicit formula of the binomial coefficients

 * $$\frac{p!}{k! (p-k)!},$$

if $1 ≤ k ≤ p − 1$. Therefore, the coefficients of all the terms except $r$ and $s$ are divisible by $p$, and hence they vanish. Thus

 * $$F(r + s) = (r + s)^p = r^p + s^p = F(r) + F(s).$$

This shows that F is a ring homomorphism.

If $φ : R → S$ is a homomorphism of rings of characteristic $p$, then
 * $$\varphi(x^p) = \varphi(x)^p.$$

If $F_{R}$ and $F_{S}$ are the Frobenius endomorphisms of $R$ and $S$, then this can be rewritten as:
 * $$\varphi \circ F_R = F_S \circ \varphi.$$

This means that the Frobenius endomorphism is a natural transformation from the identity functor on the category of characteristic $p$ rings to itself.

If the ring $R$ is a ring with no nilpotent elements, then the Frobenius endomorphism is injective: $F(r) = 0$ means $r = 0$, which by definition means that $r$ is nilpotent of order at most $p$. In fact, this is necessary and sufficient, because if $r$ is any nilpotent, then one of its powers will be nilpotent of order at most $p$. In particular, if $R$ is a field then the Frobenius endomorphism is injective.

The Frobenius morphism is not necessarily surjective, even when $R$ is a field. For example, let $K = F_{p}(t)$ be the finite field of $p$ elements together with a single transcendental element; equivalently, $K$ is the field of rational functions with coefficients in $F_{p}$. Then the image of $F$ does not contain $t$. If it did, then there would be a rational function $q(t)/r(t)$ whose $p$-th power $q(t)^{p}/r(t)^{p}$ would equal $t$. But the degree of this $p$-th power (the difference between the degrees of its numerator and denominator) is $p deg(q) − p deg(r)$, which is a multiple of $p$. In particular, it can't be 1, which is the degree of $t$. This is a contradiction; so $t$ is not in the image of $F$.

A field $K$ is called perfect if either it is of characteristic zero or it is of positive characteristic and its Frobenius endomorphism is an automorphism. For example, all finite fields are perfect.

Fixed points of the Frobenius endomorphism
Consider the finite field $F_{p}$. By Fermat's little theorem, every element $x$ of $F_{p}$ satisfies $x = x$. Equivalently, it is a root of the polynomial $X − X$. The elements of $F_{p}$ therefore determine $p$ roots of this equation, and because this equation has degree $p$ it has no more than $p$ roots over any extension. In particular, if $K$ is an algebraic extension of $F_{p}$ (such as the algebraic closure or another finite field), then $F_{p}$ is the fixed field of the Frobenius automorphism of $K$.

Let $R$ be a ring of characteristic $p > 0$. If $R$ is an integral domain, then by the same reasoning, the fixed points of Frobenius are the elements of the prime field. However, if $R$ is not a domain, then $X − X$ may have more than $p$ roots; for example, this happens if $R = F_{p} × F_{p}$.

A similar property is enjoyed on the finite field $$\mathbf{F}_{p^n}$$ by the nth iterate of the Frobenius automorphism: Every element of $$\mathbf{F}_{p^n}$$ is a root of $$X^{p^n} - X$$, so if $K$ is an algebraic extension of $$\mathbf{F}_{p^n}$$ and $F$ is the Frobenius automorphism of $K$, then the fixed field of $F$ is $$\mathbf{F}_{p^n}$$. If R is a domain that is an $$\mathbf{F}_{p^n}$$-algebra, then the fixed points of the nth iterate of Frobenius are the elements of the image of $$\mathbf{F}_{p^n}$$.

Iterating the Frobenius map gives a sequence of elements in $R$:
 * $$x, x^p, x^{p^2}, x^{p^3}, \ldots.$$

This sequence of iterates is used in defining the Frobenius closure and the tight closure of an ideal.

As a generator of Galois groups
The Galois group of an extension of finite fields is generated by an iterate of the Frobenius automorphism. First, consider the case where the ground field is the prime field $F_{p}$. Let $F_{q}$ be the finite field of $q$ elements, where $q = p$. The Frobenius automorphism $F$ of $F_{q}$ fixes the prime field $F_{p}$, so it is an element of the Galois group $Gal(F_{q}/F_{p})$. In fact, since $$\mathbf{F}_q^{\times}$$ is cyclic with q − 1 elements, we know that the Galois group is cyclic and $F$ is a generator. The order of $F$ is $n$ because $F$ acts on an element $x$ by sending it to $x$, and $$x^{p^j} = x$$ can only have $$p^j$$ many roots, since we are in a field. Every automorphism of $F_{q}$ is a power of $F$, and the generators are the powers $F$ with $i$ coprime to $n$.

Now consider the finite field $F_{q}$ as an extension of $F_{q}$, where $q = p$ as above. If $n > 1$, then the Frobenius automorphism $F$ of $F_{q}$ does not fix the ground field $F_{q}$, but its $n$th iterate $F$ does. The Galois group $Gal(F_{q} /F_{q})$ is cyclic of order $f$ and is generated by $F$. It is the subgroup of $Gal(F_{q} /F_{p})$ generated by $F$. The generators of $Gal(F_{q} /F_{q})$ are the powers $F$ where $i$ is coprime to $f$.

The Frobenius automorphism is not a generator of the absolute Galois group

 * $$\operatorname{Gal} \left (\overline{\mathbf{F}_q}/\mathbf{F}_q \right ),$$

because this Galois group is isomorphic to the profinite integers

 * $$\widehat{\mathbf{Z}} = \varprojlim_n \mathbf{Z}/n\mathbf{Z},$$

which are not cyclic. However, because the Frobenius automorphism is a generator of the Galois group of every finite extension of $F_{q}$, it is a generator of every finite quotient of the absolute Galois group. Consequently, it is a topological generator in the usual Krull topology on the absolute Galois group.

Frobenius for schemes
There are several different ways to define the Frobenius morphism for a scheme. The most fundamental is the absolute Frobenius morphism. However, the absolute Frobenius morphism behaves poorly in the relative situation because it pays no attention to the base scheme. There are several different ways of adapting the Frobenius morphism to the relative situation, each of which is useful in certain situations.

The absolute Frobenius morphism
Suppose that $X$ is a scheme of characteristic $φ : X → S$. Choose an open affine subset $S$ of $X$. The ring $A$ is an $X$-algebra, so it admits a Frobenius endomorphism. If $V$ is an open affine subset of $U$, then by the naturality of Frobenius, the Frobenius morphism on $U$, when restricted to $V$, is the Frobenius morphism on $V$. Consequently, the Frobenius morphism glues to give an endomorphism of $X$. This endomorphism is called the absolute Frobenius morphism of $X$, denoted $F_{S}$. By definition, it is a homeomorphism of $X$ with itself. The absolute Frobenius morphism is a natural transformation from the identity functor on the category of $F_{X}$-schemes to itself.

If $X$ is an $S$-scheme and the Frobenius morphism of $S$ is the identity, then the absolute Frobenius morphism is a morphism of $S$-schemes. In general, however, it is not. For example, consider the ring $$A = \mathbf{F}_{p^2}$$. Let $X$ and $S$ both equal $X$ with the structure map $X$ being the identity. The Frobenius morphism on $A$ sends $a$ to $F_{S}$. It is not a morphism of $$\mathbf{F}_{p^2}$$-algebras. If it were, then multiplying by an element $b$ in $$\mathbf{F}_{p^2}$$ would commute with applying the Frobenius endomorphism. But this is not true because:
 * $$b \cdot a = ba \neq F(b) \cdot a = b^p a.$$

The former is the action of $b$ in the $$\mathbf{F}_{p^2}$$-algebra structure that $A$ begins with, and the latter is the action of $$\mathbf{F}_{p^2}$$ induced by Frobenius. Consequently, the Frobenius morphism on $F_{X/S}$ is not a morphism of $$\mathbf{F}_{p^2}$$-schemes.

The absolute Frobenius morphism is a purely inseparable morphism of degree $p$. Its differential is zero. It preserves products, meaning that for any two schemes $X$ and $Y$, $p > 0$.

Restriction and extension of scalars by Frobenius
Suppose that $U = Spec A$ is the structure morphism for an $S$-scheme $X$. The base scheme $S$ has a Frobenius morphism FS. Composing $φ$ with FS results in an $S$-scheme XF called the restriction of scalars by Frobenius. The restriction of scalars is actually a functor, because an $S$-morphism $F_{p}$ induces an $S$-morphism $F_{X}$.

For example, consider a ring A of characteristic $F_{p}$ and a finitely presented algebra over A:
 * $$R = A[X_1, \ldots, X_n] / (f_1, \ldots, f_m).$$

The action of A on R is given by:
 * $$c \cdot \sum a_\alpha X^\alpha = \sum c a_\alpha X^\alpha,$$

where α is a multi-index. Let $Spec A$. Then $X → S$ is the affine scheme $a$, but its structure morphism $Spec A$, and hence the action of A on R, is different:

 * $$c \cdot \sum a_\alpha X^\alpha = \sum F(c) a_\alpha X^\alpha = \sum c^p a_\alpha X^\alpha.$$

Because restriction of scalars by Frobenius is simply composition, many properties of $X$ are inherited by XF under appropriate hypotheses on the Frobenius morphism. For example, if $X$ and SF are both finite type, then so is XF.

The extension of scalars by Frobenius is defined to be:
 * $$X^{(p)} = X \times_S S_F.$$

The projection onto the $S$ factor makes $F_{X×Y} = F_{X} × F_{Y}$ an $S$-scheme. If $S$ is not clear from the context, then $φ : X → S$ is denoted by $X → Y$. Like restriction of scalars, extension of scalars is a functor: An $S$-morphism $X_{F} → Y_{F}$ determines an $S$-morphism $p > 0$.

As before, consider a ring A and a finitely presented algebra R over A, and again let $X = Spec R$. Then:
 * $$X^{(p)} = \operatorname{Spec} R \otimes_A A_F.$$

A global section of $X_{F}$ is of the form:
 * $$\sum_i \left(\sum_\alpha a_{i\alpha} X^\alpha\right) \otimes b_i = \sum_i \sum_\alpha X^\alpha \otimes a_{i\alpha}^p b_i,$$

where α is a multi-index and every aiα and bi is an element of A. The action of an element c of A on this section is:
 * $$c \cdot \sum_i \left (\sum_\alpha a_{i\alpha} X^\alpha\right) \otimes b_i = \sum_i \left(\sum_\alpha a_{i\alpha} X^\alpha\right) \otimes b_i c.$$

Consequently, $Spec R$ is isomorphic to:
 * $$\operatorname{Spec} A[X_1, \ldots, X_n] / \left (f_1^{(p)}, \ldots, f_m^{(p)} \right ),$$

where, if:
 * $$f_j = \sum_\beta f_{j\beta} X^\beta,$$

then:
 * $$f_j^{(p)} = \sum_\beta f_{j\beta}^p X^\beta.$$

A similar description holds for arbitrary A-algebras R.

Because extension of scalars is base change, it preserves limits and coproducts. This implies in particular that if $X$ has an algebraic structure defined in terms of finite limits (such as being a group scheme), then so does $Spec R → Spec A$. Furthermore, being a base change means that extension of scalars preserves properties such as being of finite type, finite presentation, separated, affine, and so on.

Extension of scalars is well-behaved with respect to base change: Given a morphism $X$, there is a natural isomorphism:
 * $$X^{(p/S)} \times_S S' \cong (X \times_S S')^{(p/S')}.$$

Relative Frobenius
Let $X$ be an $X$-scheme with structure morphism $X → Y$. The relative Frobenius morphism of $X → Y$ is the morphism:
 * $$F_{X/S} : X \to X^{(p)}$$

defined by the universal property of the pullback $X = Spec R$ (see the diagram above):
 * $$F_{X/S} = (F_X, \varphi).$$

Because the absolute Frobenius morphism is natural, the relative Frobenius morphism is a morphism of $S$-schemes.

Consider, for example, the A-algebra:
 * $$R = A[X_1, \ldots, X_n] / (f_1, \ldots, f_m).$$

We have:
 * $$R^{(p)} = A[X_1, \ldots, X_n] / (f_1^{(p)}, \ldots, f_m^{(p)}).$$

The relative Frobenius morphism is the homomorphism $X$ defined by:
 * $$\sum_i \sum_\alpha X^\alpha \otimes a_{i\alpha} \mapsto \sum_i \sum_\alpha a_{i\alpha}X^{p\alpha}.$$

Relative Frobenius is compatible with base change in the sense that, under the natural isomorphism of $X$ and $X$, we have:
 * $$F_{X / S} \times 1_{S'} = F_{X \times_S S' / S'}.$$

Relative Frobenius is a universal homeomorphism. If $S′ → S$ is an open immersion, then it is the identity. If $X$ is a closed immersion determined by an ideal sheaf I of $S$, then $φ$ is determined by the ideal sheaf $X$ and relative Frobenius is the augmentation map $X$.

X is unramified over $S$ if and only if FX/S is unramified and if and only if FX/S is a monomorphism. X is étale over $S$ if and only if FX/S is étale and if and only if FX/S is an isomorphism.

Arithmetic Frobenius
The arithmetic Frobenius morphism of an $S$-scheme $X$ is a morphism:
 * $$F^a_{X/S} : X^{(p)} \to X \times_S S \cong X$$

defined by:
 * $$F^a_{X/S} = 1_X \times F_S.$$

That is, it is the base change of FS by 1X.

Again, if:
 * $$R = A[X_1, \ldots, X_n] / (f_1, \ldots, f_m),$$
 * $$R^{(p)} = A[X_1, \ldots, X_n] / (f_1, \ldots, f_m) \otimes_A A_F,$$

then the arithmetic Frobenius is the homomorphism:
 * $$\sum_i \left(\sum_\alpha a_{i\alpha} X^\alpha\right) \otimes b_i \mapsto \sum_i \sum_\alpha a_{i\alpha} b_i^p X^\alpha.$$

If we rewrite $R → R$ as:
 * $$R^{(p)} = A[X_1, \ldots, X_n] / \left (f_1^{(p)}, \ldots, f_m^{(p)} \right ),$$

then this homomorphism is:
 * $$\sum a_\alpha X^\alpha \mapsto \sum a_\alpha^p X^\alpha.$$

Geometric Frobenius
Assume that the absolute Frobenius morphism of $S$ is invertible with inverse $$F_S^{-1}$$. Let $$S_{F^{-1}}$$ denote the $S$-scheme $$F_S^{-1} : S \to S$$. Then there is an extension of scalars of $X$ by $$F_S^{-1}$$:
 * $$X^{(1/p)} = X \times_S S_{F^{-1}}.$$

If:
 * $$R = A[X_1, \ldots, X_n] / (f_1, \ldots, f_m),$$

then extending scalars by $$F_S^{-1}$$ gives:
 * $$R^{(1/p)} = A[X_1, \ldots, X_n] / (f_1, \ldots, f_m) \otimes_A A_{F^{-1}}.$$

If:
 * $$f_j = \sum_\beta f_{j\beta} X^\beta,$$

then we write:
 * $$f_j^{(1/p)} = \sum_\beta f_{j\beta}^{1/p} X^\beta,$$

and then there is an isomorphism:
 * $$R^{(1/p)} \cong A[X_1, \ldots, X_n] / (f_1^{(1/p)}, \ldots, f_m^{(1/p)}).$$

The geometric Frobenius morphism of an $S$-scheme $X$ is a morphism:
 * $$F^g_{X/S} : X^{(1/p)} \to X \times_S S \cong X$$

defined by:
 * $$F^g_{X/S} = 1_X \times F_S^{-1}.$$

It is the base change of $$F_S^{-1}$$ by $X ×_{S} S′$.

Continuing our example of A and R above, geometric Frobenius is defined to be:
 * $$\sum_i \left(\sum_\alpha a_{i\alpha} X^\alpha\right) \otimes b_i \mapsto \sum_i \sum_\alpha a_{i\alpha} b_i^{1/p} X^\alpha.$$

After rewriting R in terms of $$\{f_j^{(1/p)}\}$$, geometric Frobenius is:
 * $$\sum a_\alpha X^\alpha \mapsto \sum a_\alpha^{1/p} X^\alpha.$$

Arithmetic and geometric Frobenius as Galois actions
Suppose that the Frobenius morphism of $S$ is an isomorphism. Then it generates a subgroup of the automorphism group of $S$. If $(X ×_{S} S′)$ is the spectrum of a finite field, then its automorphism group is the Galois group of the field over the prime field, and the Frobenius morphism and its inverse are both generators of the automorphism group. In addition, $X → S$ and $X → S$ may be identified with $X$. The arithmetic and geometric Frobenius morphisms are then endomorphisms of $X$, and so they lead to an action of the Galois group of k on X.

Consider the set of K-points $O_{S}$. This set comes with a Galois action: Each such point x corresponds to a homomorphism $X$ from the structure sheaf to K, which factors via k(x), the residue field at x, and the action of Frobenius on x is the application of the Frobenius morphism to the residue field. This Galois action agrees with the action of arithmetic Frobenius: The composite morphism
 * $$\mathcal{O}_X \to k(x) \xrightarrow{\overset{}F} k(x)$$

is the same as the composite morphism:
 * $$\mathcal{O}_X \xrightarrow{\overset{}F^a_{X/S}} \mathcal{O}_X \to k(x)$$

by the definition of the arithmetic Frobenius. Consequently, arithmetic Frobenius explicitly exhibits the action of the Galois group on points as an endomorphism of X.

Frobenius for local fields
Given an unramified finite extension $I$ of local fields, there is a concept of Frobenius endomorphism that induces the Frobenius endomorphism in the corresponding extension of residue fields.

Suppose $O_{S}/I → O_{S}/I$ is an unramified extension of local fields, with ring of integers OK of $K$ such that the residue field, the integers of $K$ modulo their unique maximal ideal $φ$, is a finite field of order $q$, where $q$ is a power of a prime. If $R$ is a prime of $L$ lying over $φ$, that $1_{X}$ is unramified means by definition that the integers of $L$ modulo $S = Spec k$, the residue field of $L$, will be a finite field of order $X$ extending the residue field of $K$ where $f$ is the degree of $X$. We may define the Frobenius map for elements of the ring of integers $X(K)$ of $L$ as an automorphism $O_{X} → K$ of $L$ such that

 * $$s_\Phi(x) \equiv x^q \mod \Phi.$$

Frobenius for global fields
In algebraic number theory, Frobenius elements are defined for extensions $L/K$ of global fields that are finite Galois extensions for prime ideals $L/K$ of $L$ that are unramified in $Φ$. Since the extension is unramified the decomposition group of $L/K$ is the Galois group of the extension of residue fields. The Frobenius element then can be defined for elements of the ring of integers of $L$ as in the local case, by

 * $$s_\Phi(x) \equiv x^q \mod \Phi,$$

where $q$ is the order of the residue field $Φ$.

Lifts of the Frobenius are in correspondence with p-derivations.

Examples
The polynomial

has discriminant

and so is unramified at the prime 3; it is also irreducible mod 3. Hence adjoining a root $ρ$ of it to the field of $q$-adic numbers $L/K$ gives an unramified extension $O_{L}$ of $s_{Φ}$. We may find the image of $ρ$ under the Frobenius map by locating the root nearest to $L/K$, which we may do by Newton's method. We obtain an element of the ring of integers $Φ$ in this way; this is a polynomial of degree four in $ρ$ with coefficients in the $L/K$-adic integers $Φ$. Modulo $O_{K}/(Φ ∩ O_{K})$ this polynomial is

 * $$\rho^3 + 3(460+183\rho-354\rho^2-979\rho^3-575\rho^4)$$.

This is algebraic over $x^{5} − x − 1$ and is the correct global Frobenius image in terms of the embedding of $19 × 151$ into $3$; moreover, the coefficients are algebraic and the result can be expressed algebraically. However, they are of degree 120, the order of the Galois group, illustrating the fact that explicit computations are much more easily accomplished if $p$-adic results will suffice.

If $Q_{3}$ is an abelian extension of global fields, we get a much stronger congruence since it depends only on the prime $φ$ in the base field $K$. For an example, consider the extension $Q_{3}(ρ)$ of $Q_{3}$ obtained by adjoining a root $β$ satisfying

 * $$\beta^5+\beta^4-4\beta^3-3\beta^2+3\beta+1=0$$

to $ρ^{3}$. This extension is cyclic of order five, with roots

 * $$2 \cos \tfrac{2 \pi n}{11}$$

for integer $n$. It has roots that are Chebyshev polynomials of $β$:

give the result of the Frobenius map for the primes 2, 3 and 5, and so on for larger primes not equal to 11 or of the form $Z_{3}[ρ]$ (which split). It is immediately apparent how the Frobenius map gives a result equal mod $p$ to the $p$-th power of the root $β$.

Bone Against Steel

Bone Against Steel is the ninth studio album by the southern rock band 38 Special, released in 1991. It was their last album until their 1996 comeback and the last album to feature the vocalist and keyboard player Max Carl. It would also be their last album with long time guitarist and founding member Jeff Carlisi and drummer Jack Grondin.

The album itself was a modest commercial success and only reached #170 on the Billboard 200 album chart. However, the single "The Sound of Your Voice" (also known as "Sound of Your Voice"), was a major hit, and one of three songs co-written by Survivor's Jim Peterik for the album. The song, with a vocal hook in the chorus very reminiscent of Survivor's "I Can't Hold Back", reached #2 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and #33 on the Billboard Hot 100 (their last Top 40 hit and last appearance on that chart to date), while the second of the three Peterik songs, "Rebel to Rebel", only reached #30 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.

Doll's head clock

Doll's head clocks, often known by their French name tête de poupée, were popular during the last quarter of the seventeenth century. They are named for their profile which resembles a head and shoulders. A doll's head clock is almost always ornamented with Boulle marquetry.

31st Canadian Parliament

The 31st Canadian Parliament was a briefly lived parliament in session from October 9 until December 14, 1979. The membership was set by the 1979 federal election on May 22, 1979, and it was dissolved after the minority government of Joe Clark failed to pass a Motion of Confidence on December 13, 1979. The dissolution of parliament led to the 1980 federal election. Lasting only 66 days from first sitting to dissolution, and only nine months from election to election, the 31st was the shortest parliament in Canadian history.

The 31st Parliament was controlled by a Progressive Conservative Party minority led by Prime Minister Joe Clark and the 21st Canadian Ministry. The Official Opposition was the Liberal Party, led by former prime minister Pierre Trudeau.

The Speaker was James Jerome. See also List of Canadian electoral districts 1976-1987 for a list of the ridings in this parliament.

There was only one session of the 31st Parliament:

Party standings
The party standings as of the election and as of dissolution were as follows:

A mistake?
Wasn't Eight is Enough also a one-hour show with a laugh track? Dec 28, 2004

 * You are correct. Mike H 08:23, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

What about the major accident on the set?
It was HUGE news when it happened.

In 1982, a scary accident occurred in a Turkish taxi: A cigarette ignited some balloons that were inexplicably filled with hydrogen, injuring Tewes, Grandy, and several others; Grandy suffered severe burns on his hands and face.

Grandy It shot flames six feet in the air. The reaction by people outside was we’d been hit by terrorists.

Tewes We had giant pizza bubbles on our hands. I kept saying, ”We need ice, we need ice!” and somebody said, ”Booze?” ”No, we don’t need booze, we need ice!” Well, the word for ice in Turkish is buz. I found that out just a few years ago.

Grandy They get me to the ship. [The doctor] says, ”I have a confession. I am not a physician.” He was a first-year medical student who’d essentially conned his way on to the ship to meet girls. He didn’t even know how to put in an IV. Fortunately [a crew member] was a junkie, so I got the medication I needed.

And who could forget the Solid Gold Dancers/Fly Girls/ "The Love Boat Mermaids"? Season 9 was without a doubt the worst and most desperate. 2601:8C2:8000:7534:3CD9:9C33:4D66:AD1 (talk) 23:25, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Real Ship??
The ship's name links to an article about a real-life ship of the same name. Is this correct? Isn't the the ship in the show fictional or at least a fictionalized version? Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks! Curious georgianna (talk) 02:49, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I think the current Production section does a good job of explaining it. The show tells the fictional story of the crew's antics aboard a ship nameed Pacific Princess.  A real ship (still operating as a passenger cruise ship) named Pacific Princess appeared in nearly every episode as either stock footage or some outdoor scenes on deck.  Occasionally other ships would stand in for Pacific Princess.  Most (all?) of the interior shots were studio sets, so the check-in desk, pool, lounges, and staterooms are not actual spaces aboard the real-life ship.  Is that what you're getting at?

Revert
Hi, I saw your reverted my edit on this page because it didn't follow MOS:TV section order. Sorry for not being aware of it, it's my fault. But in my edit, beside the order of the sections, I arranged all the text to improve comprehension, cohesion and reading, fixed some errors, added some context and created the cast table. I did it with the sole purpose of improving the article and with your reversal all that is lost. Could you, please, review my edit and correct what you see is wrong from it (like the order of the sections), instead of undoing it entirely?. Thanks. Ferclopedio (talk) 10:09, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I have since put this article's sections in the proper order as per MOS:TV. Now if you want to copyedit and revise, and move paragraphs, you should be able to, as long as you don't change the current section order... One other thing – the change in the number of TV movies/specials would be better if it was sourced to something somewhere in the article. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 12:06, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Jiggle TV
This article falls all over itself describing the show in glowing terms. There is absolutely no mention of the criticism the show DID get during its running. For example, it was labeled along with other Aaron Spelling creations as "jiggle tv". Wikipedia has an article under that very heading, "Jiggle TV" which quotes as follows:

"The term has been used to describe the dramatic television series of Aaron Spelling such as The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Charmed and others. Jiggle TV is seen as trashy and escapist entertainment. Programs or female performers are often judged by their "jiggle factor" and many, such as Pamela Anderson had their bodies surgically modified to increase it. The term "jiggle-o" is used to describe a character which uses jiggle factor and "jiggle syndrome" is used to discuss the phenomenon as a whole."

I really suggest you people read your own articles and then mention that shows like The Love Boat were not uniformly popular for good reasons. A "criticism" section is warranted.
