The Squawkin' Hawk

The Squawkin' Hawk is a 1942 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. The short was released on August 8, 1942, and is the first to star the young Henery Hawk. It was animated by Phil Monroe and was written by Michael Maltese, the latter being his first collaboration with Jones.

Plot
Junior wants a chicken for dinner, saying that he is a chicken hawk. His mother insists he eat a worm, or he will get no supper. Junior refuses, much to the worm's relief. Junior's mother puts him to bed and tells him to "go right to sleep". Henery sneaks out his house at bedtime, then goes to the chicken coop and soon finds a rooster and his hen, Hazel, who has a panic reaction at the sound of the words "chicken hawk". The rooster chases him until his mother spots him and sends him home. He is again told to eat a worm and again refuses and says he wants a "chicken", at which point the worm gives him a big kiss on the beak.

Reception
The Film Daily called the short "Good", saying, "The adventures of a baby chicken hawk who goes out prowling for chicken after refusing to sup on worms are treated with loads of fun in this Technicolor short."

Noah Gordon (novelist)

Noah Gordon (November 11, 1926 – November 22, 2021) was an American novelist.

Early life and career
Gordon was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, on November 11, 1926, the son of a pawnbroker. He served in the US Army at the end of World War II. He reported for the Worcester Telegram until he was hired by the Boston Herald in 1959.

Works and reception
Some of the topics covered within his novels include medical history and medical ethics. Later he began to focus more on themes relating to the Inquisition and Jewish cultural history.

Gordon's debut novel, The Rabbi, spent 26 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list in 1965. When publishing The Physician, the book was picked up by Random House - Germany, which promoted the book in Europe, where Gordon became very popular in Spain and Italy. His novel The Last Jew won "Que Leer Prize" (Spain) and "Boccaccio Literary Prize" (Italy).

Though Gordon's reception internationally has been quite strong, as of 2015, the Boston Globe described Gordon as relatively unknown in the United States. New York Times writer Carey Goldberg described a similar tension between Gordon's widespread popularity in Germany and relative lack of awareness in the United States in 1996. The reasons for the European success of his novel The Physician were discussed in the Forward.

His novel Shaman won the first James Fenimore Cooper Prize for Best Historical Fiction in 1993.

Personal life
Gordon had three children with his wife, Lorraine (née Seay). He died on November 22, 2021, in Dedham, Massachusetts, at the age of 95.

Friedrich Wilhelm Ritschl

Friedrich Wilhelm Ritschl (6 April 1806 – 9 November 1876) was a German scholar best known for his studies of Plautus.

Biography
Ritschl was born in Großvargula, in present-day Thuringia. His family, in which culture and poverty were hereditary, were Protestants who had migrated several generations earlier from Bohemia. Ritschl was fortunate in his school training, at a time when the great reform in the higher schools of Prussia had not yet been thoroughly carried out. His chief teacher, Spitzner, a pupil of Gottfried Hermann, divined the boy's genius and allowed it free growth, applying only so much either of stimulus or of restraint as was absolutely needful. After a wasted year at the University of Leipzig, where Hermann stood at the zenith of his fame, Ritschl passed in 1826 to Halle.

Here he came under the powerful influence of Christian Karl Reisig, a young Hermannianer with exceptional talent, a fascinating personality and a rare gift for instilling into his pupils his own ardour for classical study. The great controversy between the Realists and the Verbalists was then at its height, and Ritschl naturally sided with Hermann against Böckh. The early death of Reisig in 1828 did not sever Ritschl from Halle, where he began his professorial career with a great reputation and brilliant success, but soon hearers fell away, and the pinch of poverty compelled his removal to Breslau, where he reached the rank of ordinary professor in 1834, and held other offices.

The great event of Ritschl's life was a sojourn of nearly a year in Italy (1836–37), spent in libraries and museums, and more particularly in the laborious examination of the Ambrosian palimpsest of Plautus at Milan. The remainder of his life was largely occupied in working out the material then gathered and the ideas then conceived. Bonn, where he moved on his marriage in 1839, and where he remained for twenty-six years, was the great scene of his activity both as scholar and as teacher.

The philological seminary which he controlled, although nominally only joint-director with Welcker, became a veritable officina litterarum, a kind of Isocratean school of classical study; in it were trained many of the foremost scholars of the late 19th century. The names of G. Curtius, Ihne, Schleicher, Bernays, Ribbeck, Lorenz, Vahlen, Hübner, Bücheler, Helbig, Benndorf, Riese, Windisch, and Nietzsche, who were his pupils either at Bonn or at Leipzig, attest his fame and power as a teacher. In 1854 Otto Jahn took the place of the venerable Welcker at Bonn, and after a time succeeded in dividing with Ritschl the empire over the philological school there. The two had been friends, but after gradual estrangement a violent dispute arose between them in 1865, which for many months divided into two hostile forces the universities and the press of Germany. Both sides were steeped in fault, but Ritschl undoubtedly received harsh treatment from the Prussian government, and pressed his resignation. He accepted a call to Leipzig, where he died in harness in 1876. Ritschl was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1868.

Character
Ritschl's character was strongly marked. The spirited element in him was powerful, and to some at times he seemed overbearing, but his nature was noble at the core; and, though intolerant of inefficiency and stupidity, he never asserted his personal claims in any mean or petty way. He was warmly attached to family and friends, and yearned continually after sympathy, yet he established real intimacy with only a few. He had a great faculty for organization, as is shown by his administration of the university library at Bonn, and by the eight years of labour which carried to success a work of infinite complexity, the famous Priscae Latinitatis Monumenta Epigraphica (Bonn, 1862). This volume presents in admirable facsimile, with prefatory notices and indexes, the Latin inscriptions from the earliest times to the end of the Republic. It forms an introductory volume to the Berlin Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum, the excellence of which is largely due to the precept and example of Ritschl, though he had no hand in the later volumes. The results of Ritschl's life are mainly gathered up in a long series of monographs, for the most part of the highest finish, and rich in ideas which leavened the scholarship of the time.

Scholarship
As a scholar, Ritschl was of the lineage of Bentley, to whom he looked up, like Hermann, with fervent admiration. His best efforts were spent in studying the languages and literatures of Greece and Rome, rather than the life of the Greeks and Romans. He was sometimes, but most unjustly, charged with taking a narrow view of philology. That he keenly appreciated the importance of ancient institutions and ancient art both his published papers and the records of his lectures amply testify. He devoted himself for the most part to the study of ancient poetry, and in particular of the early Latin drama. This formed the centre from which his investigations radiated. Starting from this he ranged over the whole remains of pre-Ciceronian Latin, and not only analysed but augmented the sources from which our knowledge of it must come. Before Ritschl the acquaintance of scholars with early Latin was so dim and restricted that it would perhaps be hardly an exaggeration to call him its real discoverer.

Plautus
To the world in general Ritschl was best known as a student of Plautus. He cleared away the accretions of ages, and by efforts of that real genius which goes hand in hand with labor, brought to light many of the true features of the original. It is infinitely to be regretted that Ritschl's results were never combined to form that monumental edition of Plautus of which he dreamed in his earlier life. Ritschl's examination of the Plautine manuscripts was both laborious and brilliant, and greatly extended the knowledge of Plautus and of the ancient Latin drama. Of this, two striking examples may be cited. By the aid of the Ambrosian palimpsest he recovered the name T Maccius Plautus, for the vulgate M Accius, and proved it correct by strong, extraneous arguments. On the margin of the Palatine manuscripts the marks "C" and "DV" continually recur, and had been variously explained. Ritschl proved that they meant Canticum and Diverbium, and hence showed that in the Roman comedy only the conversations in iambic senarii were not intended for the singing voice. Thus was brought into strong relief a fact without which there can be no true appreciation of Plautus, viz., that his plays were comic operas rather than comic dramas.

In conjectural criticism Ritschl was inferior not only to his great predecessors but to some of his contemporaries. His imagination was in this field (but in this field only) hampered by erudition, and his judgment was unconsciously warped by the desire to find in his text illustrations of his discoveries. But still a fair proportion of his textual labours has stood the test of time, and he rendered immense service by his study of Plautine metres, a field in which little advance had been made since the time of Bentley. In this matter Ritschl was aided by an accomplishment rare (as he himself lamented) in Germany, the art of writing Latin verse.

In spite of the incompleteness, on many sides, of his work, Ritschl must be assigned a place in the history of learning among a very select few. His studies are presented principally in his Opuscula collected partly before and partly since his death. The Trinummus (twice edited) was the only specimen of his contemplated edition of Plautus which he completed. The edition has been continued by some of his pupils--Georg Goetz, Gustav Loewe, and others.

Recommendation of Nietzsche
Ritschl recommended that his student, Friedrich Nietzsche, be considered for the position of professor at the University of Basel. He described Nietzsche in the following words.

"However many young talents I have seen develop under my eyes for thirty-nine years now, never yet have I known a young man, or tried to help one along in my field as best I could, who was so mature as early and as young as this Nietzsche. His Museum articles he wrote in the second and third year of his triennium. He is the first from whom I have ever accepted any contribution at all while he was still a student. If — God grant — he lives long enough, I prophesy that he will one day stand in the front rank of German philology. He is now twenty-four years old: strong, vigorous, healthy, courageous physically and morally, so constituted as to impress those of a similar nature. On top of that, he possesses the enviable gift of presenting ideas, talking freely, as calmly as he speaks skillfully and clearly. He is the idol and, without wishing it, the leader of the whole younger generation of philologists here in Leipzig who — and they are rather numerous — cannot wait to hear him as a lecturer. You will say, I describe a phenomenon. Well, that is just what he is — and at the same time pleasant and modest. Also a gifted musician, which is irrelevant here. ... Nietzsche is not at all a specifically political nature. He may have in general, on the whole, some sympathy for the growing greatness of Germany, but, like myself, no special tendre [fondness] for Prussianism; yet he has vivid feeling for free civic and spiritual development, and thus certainly a heart for your Swiss institutions and way of living. What more am I to say? His studies so far have been weighted toward the history of Greek literature (of course, including critical and exegetical treatment of the authors), with special emphasis, it seems to me, on the history of Greek philosophy. But I have not the least doubt that, if confronted by a practical demand, with his great gifts he will work in other fields with the best of success. He will simply be able to do anything he wants to do."

Walter Kaufmann described the unusual situation as follows. "But Nietzsche had not yet fulfilled his residence requirement and hence had no doctorate. So Ritschl expected the case to be hopeless, 'although in the present instance,' he wrote, 'I should stake my whole philological and academic reputation that the matter would work out happily.' It is hardly surprising that Basel decided to ignore the 'formal insufficiency.' Ritschl was delighted: 'In Germany, that sort of thing happens absolutely never.'."

Nietzsche was beginning to lose interest in philology at the time, due to his intense interests in science, Wagner's music, and Schopenhauer's philosophy. Kaufmann continued: "His call to the university of Basel came as a surprise to Nietzsche, who had not yet received his doctorate though he had published some fruits of his research in a scholarly journal. He had actually considered giving up philology for science when, on Ritschl's recommendation, he was appointed a professor of classical philology at Basel, and Leipzig hurriedly conferred the doctorate without examination."

Nietzsche's consuming interest in philosophy, however, soon overcame his work in philology. His first published book, The Birth of Tragedy, effectively ended his career as professor. "Ritschl dismissed the book as geistreich Schweinerei, 'brilliant bull.' " Enrollment in Nietzsche's classes briefly suffered in the wake of the book's poor reception by Classics professionals generally. He retired due to migraines and other physical disabilities at the age of thirty-five. Ritschl's prophecy had been the direct opposite of the course of events.

Other works

 * An interesting and discriminating estimate of Ritschl's work is that by Lucian Müller (Berlin, 1877).
 * Carl Schurz, Reminiscences (3 vols.), New York: McClure Publ. Co., 1907.  In Vol. One, Chap. 5, pp. 126–7, Schurz recalls a meeting, in the wake and the midst of the events of 1848, of university students at the University of Bonn where Ritschl was the chair.  Schurz gave an impromptu speech which was well received, and after the adjournment Ritschl met him and asked his age and was disappointed that at nineteen Schurz was still too young to be a member of the planned parliament.

Talk:Kanō Jigorō

Kano & Competition
Also a member of the International Olympic Committee for Japan, Kano dreamed of including judo in the Olympic Games.

Although a member of the International Olympic Committee, wasn't Kano totally opposed to competition in Judo, including Olympic Games? The bios I've read about him totally contrast with what is said in the article.

 * Fixed this information in the article. As many sources suggest (e.g. http://www.bstkd.com/JudoHistory/HistoryKano.htm, http://www.afma.upcsites.com/judo.html), Kano's interest in the olympic games was not related to a wish to have Judo included as a discipline.

IMO, he wasn't "totally" opposed, he just didn't want it to become the be-all and end-all that it became in the colleges, where the elite athletes got scholarships and the rest of the kids got to ride the bench. Also, in fairness, judo was slated to be an exhibition sport at the 1940 Olympics (alongside kyudo and kendo). The people who were pushing for the inclusion in the Olympic Games were the Germans before WWII, and the Europeans and Americans after WWII. From a Japanese standpoint, inclusion was a good thing, though, as it significantly inflated national medal counts. People say those don't matter, but for funding sources, they do. Joseph Svinth 01:53, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Doctor of?
So what did he study to earn the title of Doctor? Fred26 19:51, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Man, he studied a lot of things. He was a scholar in the first place. He graduated from Tokyo Imperial University: From this external biography you can read: At the same time that he was developing his notions of a reformed jujutsu, Kano was a student at the Tokyo Imperial University, studying literature, politics and political economy. He graduated in 1881 and the following year became an instructor at the prestigious Gakushuin, or Peersí School, in Tokyo, a school for children of the nobility. Kano continued his lifelong involvement with academic education, earning a doctorate and eventually becoming Headmaster of the Tokyo Teachers' Training School. The same year that Kano became an instructor at the Gakushuin, he was ready to begin teaching his brand of jujutsu. . Regards Loudenvier 02:17, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Copyright Flag and restart
The whole article comes from judoinfo with unclear permision. I've started over on a temp page.Peter Rehse 05:26, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I think too much people added content to this article so it seems a litle too drastic to lable it as a whole copyright infrigment, which is very unlikely given the number of contributions. A lot of content may come from judoinfo. But a lot of info, for example the facts about his possible assassination aren`t even mentioned on judoinfo. This tag must be taken with a grain of salt. Loudenvier 23:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Take a look at the article that it comes from - it was almost word for word until I changed a bit near the front. It was copied wholesale from the Judoinfo page. There is no question about it being copyright infringement.Peter Rehse 00:38, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

There were organized competitions in Japan for quite some time - the first competition in front of the emperor was in 1929 - I don't think it is correct to say that he was against that entirely. Also Japan was fighting in China and elsewhere before it went to war against the US - militarization was a serious problem for at least a decade before WWII. The way the article was written these points were confused.Peter Rehse 08:26, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Also once again there is a copyright issue http://www.iydk.com/history.html. Lazy or what - well at least its relatively short so I'll see what I can do.Peter Rehse 08:29, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Unassigned references
I have changed some titles in the article: footnotes should read References, since that's what they are. The References section I've changed to Unassigned references because all those references aren't assigned to a specific place in the article by means of a 'ref' tag. Now the authors who used those references should correct that by properly linking to each of them using the ref tag, this way the article will be on its way to a better grading. Regards. Loudenvier 14:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Agreed Mr. Svinth added greatly to the content of this article however it is hard to know which pieces of information are supported by the numerous references. If we link them up in the way of footnotes I think the article would be much improved. For my part I will try to do the same in places where I have contributed.--Mateo2006 16:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

New Directions

 * I forgot to thank you and other contributors for improving this article so fast after it was tagged a copy-vio a few months ago. With a little patience and some effort we could even dream to make this a featured article in wikipedia. Kano is a very important historical figure for Japan, the world and specially anyone practicing Judo. Thanks! Loudenvier 18:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, Kano is definitely deserving. A great contributor to the Japanese education system in addition to his work in promoting judo and physical culture. I'd like to see the article fleshed out a bit in this direction as well. Mr. Svinth also mentioned the lack of personal details like family history etc which need to be filled in. Anyone? --Mateo2006 04:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Moving sections to Kodokan Page?
- I added another quote describing his views on Olympic judo. A thought here. The article is getting long. What do you think of moving the section on the Kodokan's development to the Kodokan's own page? I think that might be more appropriate, and shorten this up. Joseph Svinth 10:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, currently the Kodokan page mostly focuses on the building and the organization if memory serves so we could put in the history of the development. I don't see a problem with the Kano article getting long, in and of itself however a more appropriate location for the material is a different matter and worth considering. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

I'm not so keen on the idea as it will require 'tweaking' in order to have anything like a consistant narrative flow with the Kodokan article ...and that sounds like 'work'. :)

However I'm happy to let it go that way if others are.--Mateo2006 19:21, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I moved text about, and added sources to the Kodokan section. Joseph Svinth 00:17, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Good Article Candidate
I'm nominating this article for GA status. It needs some significant work, yet, to make FA class, but as it stands now, this article is at least as polished as Shinto Muso-ryu. I have only one problem with it, as follows. Bradford44 15:44, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment The page needs to be moved to Kano Jigoro. The rule regarding this is clear: he was born prior to 1868 (the first year of Meiji), so his surname goes first, both in the article title, as well as every instance his name is written out (see WP:MOS-JP). Bradford44 15:44, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

 * In case anyone's wondering about the edits I made they are mostly minor, dealing with wikifying, rephrasing, formatting references and word choices. Good luck. Chensiyuan 20:40, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

GA on hold
This was a tough review, but I enjoyed reading the article and found it informative and generally well written and researched. However, I'm putting it on hold for the following reasons:
 * The one unfree photo, John Dewey, must have a fair-use rationale.
 * The fair use rationale is that the picture illustrates the object in question. I haven't had to deal with this before, though, so I'm not sure where I'm supposed to put that rationale. Bradford44 00:23, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The rationale itself goes on the photo's description page, Image:John Dewey.jpg. Rationales must be handcrafted for each specific use of the photo, even though the use of that particular image is likely the same rationale in every instance. You only need to worry about its use in Kano Jigoro for the purposes of the GA review. I'm not sure why this particular photo can't be replaced by a public-domain image, but that's not really an issue that we need to deal with right now. For more details, see Help:Image page (don't know why it's buried there), and Image:Vichit.jpg for an example of a fair-use rationale in action. — WiseKwai 13:08, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. Bradford44 14:01, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Citation templates must be used.
 * Just a comment, but I don't believe there is any guideline that says that citation templates must be used. In fact quoting from the link you give: "the use of Citation templates is not required by WP:CITE and is neither encouraged nor discouraged by any other Wikipedia citation guidelines." Lack of citation templates would not be grounds for failing this article, although if the editor wants to make use of them then he may find them useful. Cheers. 4u1e 10:04, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I keep forgetting that there are no rules. However, I would still strongly encourage that the citation templates be used for the simple fact that it makes it easy for the references to be presented in a consistent manner. Initially, they can be tough to switch to, but once the changeover is done, the way will be smoothed for the article to progress. If it comes up for FA, there will likely be some editors thumping on their desks, demanding that the citation templates be used. So let me say, it would be nice to see the citation templates be used. In articles I've worked on that were promoted to GA, the reviewing editors pretty much made the citation templates a requirement, which is why I thought they were required. Now I know better. Thanks! — WiseKwai 14:54, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The introduction inadequately summarizes the body of the article. It introduces material about Kano's involvement with the Olympics that is not later expanded upon or discussed in detail. A bit more about the rapid growth of judo could also be included in the intro. See WP:LEAD for more details.
 * The lead was revised, can you offer offer an opinion on whether it is better now? Bradford44 17:21, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The intro is headed in the right direction, hitting on why Kano was important and what his accomplishments were, but it needs to be at least a couple paragraphs longer, in order to summarize the weight of the article. Can you add a few more specifics about his legacy, judo's importance, his educational theories and role in the Olympic games? — WiseKwai 19:22, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, take a look at the next iteration of the introduction and also the current revisions to his educational philosophy. Joseph Svinth 03:52, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

 * "Kano pursues" section, fifth paragraph: "Reportedly ..." is weasely sounding. Just get rid of it.
 * "Professional life": It's okay to restate that he attended college at Tokyo Imperial University (wikilinked) at this point.
 * At what point exactly did he first get involved with Olympics organizing? It's mentioned in the introductory paragraphs but hardly mentioned in the body of the article, except for the quoted passage from a letter in the "Kano's ideals" section.
 * "Establish Kodokan Judo": You need to introduce Iikubo again. Who is he? There was a break there as Kano's professional life in academia was discussed. Now we're back talking about martial arts.
 * "Death": I don't quite follow this section. Are the bullet points there to argue the conspiracy theory around Kano's death? I would suggest rewriting this section in prose, without the bullets, and clearly explain what the conspiracy theories were, and why they were false.
 * There needs to be a closing section, to explain his legacy. You mention in the introduction that judo was finally made a demonstration sport at the Olympics in 1964, but it is never followed up on.
 * "Video footage" should be moved to flush bottom of the article and renamed external links. Are there any other meaningful external links that could be added?
 * Moved "video footage" to "external links". The only other meaningful external links that I can think of might point to specific judo organizations (such as the Kodokan), but my experience editing martial arts articles has taught me that once you add one martial arts organization, its a rapid slippery slope for the list to be filled with every organization or individual school for that style on the planet (frequently organized by country, city, etc..., with dozens of entries).  Also, revised the "see also" section, by removing the two links (which were alreadly linked to in the body of the article) and adding several for some judo-related concepts that were strongly influenced by Kano. Bradford44 14:20, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Can these issues be addressed in two weeks' time? If you need more time, let me know. Once these issues are addressed, I see no reason why I wouldn't promote this to GA status. — WiseKwai 23:10, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Good article promotion
I have promoted this as a good article, because I believe it meets the good-article criteria.

I encourage this article's contributors to continue improving it.

Furthermore, I encourage the primary editors to consider reviewing other Good article candidates. — WiseKwai 12:46, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

A mistake with dates?
On the one hand, we have: "When Kano attended the Tokyo Imperial University in 1877...", on the other hand, later on in the text, we have "Kano entered Tokyo Imperial University during June 1881." So when did Kano enroll in the University? The source already cited in the article (http://judoinfo.com/kano4.htm) states that Kano entered the University when he was 18, which would make it the year 1878. Does anyone have more reliable information on this topic?KlimChugunkin (talk) 18:53, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Go with the source, change both to 1878. --Nate1481 20:21, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't think this source is too reliable. For example, it says that Kano graduated from the University in 1881 (contrary to what the article says). It means that he studied there for 3 years at most, which is dubious.KlimChugunkin (talk) 08:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Hmm I'll have a look at the Kodokan and Tokyo Imperial University website (about as relabel as you can get on this) but 3 years is common for a 1st (bachelors) degree. --Nate1481 09:18, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Any news on this topic?KlimChugunkin (talk) 17:20, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Annoyingly The TIU dosen't mention him and no dates ar provided on the Kodokan site, I've also tired the IOC as he was heavily involved with the Olympic movement and the IJF websites, but no joy. --Nate1481 09:55, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Picture
Why is there a picture of a president in Jigoro Kano's page? Maybe nobody cares about it, since people want to know about Kano? I could see there is no reference to Jigoro Kano in this president Ulysses's page. Just remove what is not relevant about the article's subject. 201.19.33.69 (talk) 17:58, 2 July 2011 (UTC) Saulo Silva, 02/07/2011, 14:57 GMT-3
 * I agree that Ulyssess's photo should be removed. Fayerman (talk) 14:32, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Keiko Fukuda
In consideration of Keiko Fukuda becoming the first woman to achieve a tenth-degree black belt in Judo (one of only four living persons, and the sixteenth in the history of Judo), and being the sole surviving student of Kano Jiguro, I will list her as a notable student of Kanō Jigorō in the infobox. http://shine.yahoo.com/event/vitality/98-year-old-woman-becomes-first-woman-ever-to-earn-judos-highest-degree-black-belt-2523297/

Kanō Jigorō birth and Google's doodle
It seems Google has decided to celebrate Kanō Jigorō birthday on October 28th, but when looking at sources and simply googling the info, turns out his birthday is December 10th. It would seem people have changed the entry after the doodle, but this is obviously a mistake on Google's part. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gounter Rudolph (talk • contribs) 14:26, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The article already explains that his date of birth is different than the date his birthday is celebrated, and why. --Muhandes (talk) 15:57, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 28 October 2021
Jigoro Kano's birth date is October 28th and not as written at the moment. It is a well known date for Judo practitioners woldwide and even recignized by the IJF as the international Judo day.

change his birth year from 1960 to the real date. He is not a time traveler 192.161.116.51 (talk) 21:28, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Event-driven finite-state machine

In computation, a finite-state machine (FSM) is event driven if the transition from one state to another is triggered by an event or a message. This is in contrast to the parsing-theory origins of the term finite-state machine where the machine is described as consuming characters or tokens.

Often these machines are implemented as threads or processes communicating with one another as part of a larger application. For example, a telecommunication protocol is most of the time implemented as an event-driven finite-state machine.

Example in C
This code describes the state machine for a very basic car radio system. It is basically an infinite loop that reads incoming events. The state machine is only 2 states: radio mode, or CD mode. The event is either a mode change from radio to cd back and forth, or a go to next (next preset for radio or next track for CD).

Same example in Ginr
Ginr is an industrial-strength compiler producing multitape finite state automata from rational patterns, functions and relations expressed in semiring algebraic terms. The example below shows a binary rational function equivalent to the above example, with an additional transition (nil, radio) to set the system into its initial state. Here the input symbols nil, mode, next denote events that drive a transducer with output effectors cd, nextTrack, radio, nextStation. Expressions like this are generally much easier to express and maintain than explicit listings of transitions. StateMachine = ( (nil, radio)  ( (mode, cd) (next, nextTrack)* (mode, radio) (next, nextStation)* )* (    (mode, cd) (next, nextTrack)* )? );

Compilation produces a subsequential (single-valued) binary transducer mapping sequences of events to sequences of effectors that actuate features of the CD/radio device.

StateMachine:prsseq;

(START) nil [ radio ]          1 1       mode [ cd ]            2 2       mode [ radio ]         3 2       next [ nextTrack ]     2 3       mode [ cd ]            2 3       next [ nextStation ]   3

Modelling discrete systems in this manner obtains a clean separation of syntax (acceptable ordering of events) and semantics (effector implementation). The syntactic order of events and their extension into the semantic domain is expressed in a symbolic (semiring) domain where they can be manipulated algebraically while semantics are expressed in a procedural programming language as simple effector functions, free from syntactic concerns. The rational expressions provide concise holistic maps of the protocols that effect system governance. The compiled automata are post-processed to obtain efficient controllers for run-time deployment.

Van Biesbroeck (crater)

Van Biesbroeck is a small lunar impact crater that interrupts the southern rim of the lava-flooded crater Krieger, in the Oceanus Procellarum. The crater is circular and symmetrical, with sloping inner walls that run down to a small interior floor. Van Biesbroeck was designated Krieger B before the IAU gave it a unique name in 1976.
