Someone should be sure to get a picture of the purple lights on the cross, since it looks like they'll be used quite soon. —Charles P. (Mirv) 21:10, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Purple lights
Yes, they should be lit right now. However, the article has an error: the lights were purple 26 years ago last time the Pope changed (the article indicates that this is only possible since 1992 when the fibre optics were put in). I'm not that old, but a friend of mine saw them first-hand, last time. (-:

S

Does anyone know about Wallace & Van Warren from Mount Royal? I'm wondering if they are a legit company because they are supposedly doing a sweepstakes.

Article Clean-up
I tidied up the photos -- they were placed somewhat haphazardly throughout the article, and were starting to actually crowd out the text. I only removed one photo (one of the "tam-tam" shots -- I don't think two are necessary, and it wasn't obvious from the one that I removed that it was showing the Sunday Tam-Tams). I'm not wedded to the way I laid out the photos, but I do think that the photos should illustrate the text, but shouldn't be made front and centre to the detriment of the article. I also cleaned-up the Tam-Tam section -- once I removed the POV, unverifiable observations and links to after-hours clubs, it became a lot shorter. Skeezix1000 22:00, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Fletchers Field
My father used to refer to Parc Jeanne-Mance as "Fletchers Field". Aparently the area which now comprises the Parc Jeanne-Mance was once part of a farm belonging to someone named "Fletcher" or so the story goes. Does anyone have the straight dope on this?

 * Here's a newspaper article that calls it "Fletcher's Field"... 76.66.192.73 (talk) 10:24, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Volcano
I have removed Category:Volcanoes of Canada and Category:Hotspot volcanoes as categories from this article. As stated in the article, Mount Royal is not a volcano. - Montréalais (talk) 18:36, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Mount Royal is still notable as being a fictional volcano. Therefor I think Category:Volcanoes of Canada is appropiate. The volcano project above should stay also because the mountain has volcanic dikes and was formed by a volcanic hotspot. Note: none of the other Monteregian Hills arn't in the volcano category because they're arn't as notable for being fictional volcanoes. Black Tusk 21:10, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Time Capsule
There is (or was) a time capsule near The Cross. Could some one add info about it? I haven't seen it years, so I wouldn't know what to write. I think its supposed to be opened in 2100-something, though.Bob bobato (talk) 15:41, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 01:19, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Image in gallery
"Downtown Montreal seen from the mountain" looks real nice but its HDR edited, not actual photo.. more art than actual photo. Could we get a photo from the same location that is of what you'd actually see?Cs302b (talk) 05:24, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Mount Royal
The Mount Royal article was moved around via cut-and-paste moving, and then it was corrrected via histmerging, so now we've ended up with the original Mount Royal article situated at Mount Royal, Montreal, and the Mount Royal (disambiguation) article sitting at Mount Royal. 76.66.198.171 (talk) 20:45, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * This is being discussed at Talk:Mount Royal as it has appeared at WP:RM ; note virtually no articles link to Mount Royal, Montreal, and virtually everything linking to Mount Royal mean the one in Montreal. 76.66.198.171 (talk) 06:48, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

hill or mountain
User:Poyt448 changed the lead sentence from;
 * Mount Royal is a mountain on the Island of Montreal to
 * Mount Royal is a hill on the Island of Montreal

While its description of being a hill or a mountain is entirely subjective, the rest of the article describes it as a mountain. --kelapstick (talk) 23:07, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

A reservoir was built
In the Mount Royal Park section, the second paragraph currently ends with “[…] and the reservoir was never built.” This is a direct quote from the referenced text (from fredericklawolmsted.com) but that text contradicts itself: before stating that the reservoir was never built, another sentence states “He wished to place a grand mountain pasture and lake, but the city decided on a reservoir instead […]”.

Therefore, the statement “the reservoir was never built” could be considered to be demonstrably false. The author was probably referring to the fact that a reservoir in the form of a lake, like the one in Central Park, was part of Olmsted’s plans but was rejected by city administrators. Instead, a giant cistern-type reservoir was built in the shape of a hill and camouflaged to match the surrounding natural hills, with trees, walking paths and benches. Near the peak of this artificial hill is a stone building that houses electric pumps (a slight buzzing noise can be heard from outside). This building is indicated on this map: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/45.50078/-73.59179 and the peak of this fake hill (200 m altitude) is indicated approximately 50 m to the north.

This is why I removed the claim that the reservoir was never built. 96.22.66.24 (talk) 17:23, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Close paraphrase
This paragraph is lifted almost directly from the source:

Circa 3000 BC, the mountain’s imposing presence in the centre of the island, views of the river and majestic forests made it a choice location for indigenous peoples travelling through the region. The mountain was also a rich source of hornfels, sharp-edged rocks used instead of flint to make tools and weapons for hunting. Over time, indigenous populations used the mountain’s wood to build villages and its fertile land to grow their main agricultural crops—corn, squash and beans—known as the Three Sisters.

Here's the relevant part of the source:

Circa 3000 B.C.
...

Its imposing presence in the centre of the island, views of the river and majestic forests made it a choice location for indigenous peoples travelling through the region thousands of years ago. The mountain was also a rich source of hornfels, sharp-edged rocks used instead of flint to make tools and weapons for hunting.

Over time, indigenous populations would have used the mountain’s wood to build villages and its fertile land to grow their main agricultural crops—corn, squash and beans—known as the Three Sisters.

Orang Laut

The Orang Laut are several seafaring ethnic groups and tribes living around Singapore, Peninsular Malaysia and the Indonesian Riau Islands. The Orang Laut are commonly identified as the Orang Seletar from the Straits of Johor, but the term may also refer to any Malayic-speaking people living on coastal islands, including those of the Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar and Thailand, commonly known as Moken.

The population of the tribe in the 21st century is estimated to be 420,000 people.

Etymology
The Malay term orang laut literally means 'sea peoples'. The Orang Laut live and travel in their boats on the sea. They made their living from fishing and collecting sea products. Another Malay term for them, Orang Selat (literally 'Straits people'), was brought into European languages as Celates.

Distribution
Broadly speaking, the term encompasses the numerous tribes and groups inhabiting the islands and estuaries in the Ria Archipelago, the Pulau Tujuh Islands, the Batam Archipelago, and the coasts and offshore islands of eastern Sumatra, the southern Malay Peninsula and Singapore.

History
Historically, the Orang Laut played major roles in Srivijaya, the Sultanate of Malacca, and the Sultanate of Johor. They patrolled the adjacent sea areas, repelling pirates, directing traders to their employers' ports and maintaining those ports' dominance in the area In return, the ruler gave the Orang Laut leaders prestigious titles and gifts. The earliest description of the Orang Laut may have been by the 14th century Chinese traveler Wang Dayuan who described the inhabitants of Temasek (present day Singapore) in his work Daoyi Zhilüe.

Popular culture
In the story The Disturber of Traffic by Rudyard Kipling, a character called Fenwick misrenders the Orang Laut as "Orange-Lord" and the narrator character corrects him that they are the "Orang-Laut".

The New Adventures of He-Man

The New Adventures of He-Man is an animated series which ran in syndication in the fall of 1990 while Mattel released the toy line He-Man, an update of their Masters of the Universe line. The cartoon series was intended to be a continuation of Filmation's He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series, but Filmation's parent Westinghouse Broadcasting had shut down the studio a year earlier before being retconned by Masters of the Universe: Revelation in 2021. Instead, while existing in the same continuity, a new central story was created for this series. It's also the first He-Man series to feature a Canadian voice cast.

This would mark the final entry in the original Masters of the Universe continuity until He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, as the franchise as a whole would be rebooted twelve years later.

Synopsis
He-Man, legendary defender of the planet Eternia, has been summoned to the futuristic planet of Primus to defend the planet from the evil Mutants of the neighboring planet of Denebria. However, his old adversary Skeletor has followed him and allied himself with the Mutants in his fight to conquer the whole universe. Together with a team of Galactic Guardians from Primus, He-Man fights to defend the planet and all its power resources from the continuous attacks by Skeletor and the Mutants.

Characters

 * He-Man/Prince Adam (voiced by Doug Parker as Adam, Garry Chalk as He-Man) - The protector of Eternia who is summoned to Primus to help fight the Evil Mutants. When on Primus, Adam turns into He-Man by quoting "By the power of Eternia, I have the Power."
 * Skeletor (voiced by Campbell Lane) - The archenemy of He-Man. Upon being accidentally brought to Primus, Skeletor forms an alliance with the Evil Mutants of Denebria by telling Flogg that he will help him take over Primus in exchange for Flogg helping him destroy He-Man. By the end of the series, Skeletor and Crita are last seen in a shuttle pod disappearing into the depths of space.

Galactic Guardians

 * Flipshot (voiced by Scott McNeil) - A space pilot from the cloud city of Levitan. He is also known as Icarius in the toyline.
 * Hydron (voiced by Don Brown) - An undersea commander and the captain of the Starship Eternia who comes from Primus' underwater city of Serus.
 * Kayo (voiced by Don Brown) - A space warrior and space pilot from Onnor in the Terra region of Primus. He is also known as Tatarus in the toyline.
 * Nocturna (voiced by Alvin Sanders) - A martial artist and master of stealth from the Eastern continent of Mida. He was mostly seen as a background character.
 * Vizar (voiced by Don Brown) - A warrior with strong powers of sight who comes from the ancient city of Olympic in the Opal region of Primus.
 * Tuskador (voiced by Alvin Sanders) - An intergalactic merchant warrior from the Polarides star system with tusks on his elephant-like armor that he uses to catch enemies with. He is also called Insyzor in the toyline.
 * Artilla (voiced by Garry Chalk) - A cyborg weapons expert. He is also called Weaponstronic in the toyline.
 * Spinwit (voiced by Ted Cole) - A warrior from the planet Zil who can create tornadoes by spinning. He is also called Tornado in the toyline.
 * Sagitar (voiced by Campbell Lane) - A Horse Lord and former slave in the Denebrian Mines and arch-enemy of Staghorn who comes from the planet Equinos. His kind can turn from centaur-like beings to four-armed humanoids. He is also called Tharkus in the toyline.

Evil Mutants of Denebria

 * Flogg (voiced by Alvin Sanders) - The leader of the Evil Mutants of Denebria. Flogg is a military commander of the Mutant Armada which he commands from the Mutant Mothership. Skeletor forges an alliance with Flogg where Skeletor will help him take over Primus in exchange for Flogg helping to destroy He-Man. By the end of the series, Flogg surrenders and ends up signing a peace treaty between Primus and Denebria. He is also called Brakk in the toyline.
 * Slush Head (voiced by Ted Cole) - An incompetent amphibious mutant with cybernetic tentacles. Slush Head serves as Flogg's second-in-command and the co-pilot of the Mutant Mothership. Slush Head comes from the Quagmi Swamp, a place on Denebria that most other Mutants find disgusting because of its deadly creatures and foul stench. In the toyline, he is also called Kalamarr.
 * Optikk (voiced by Don Brown) - A cyborg with an eye for a head.
 * Karatti (voiced by Ted Cole) - A mutant with deadly martial arts skills who is often paired with Hoove.
 * Hoove (voiced by Doug Parker) - A mutant with powerful kicks who is often paired with Karatti.
 * Lizorr - A reptilian mutant from the desert of Gorn. He was mostly seen as a background character. In "Glastnost Schmaznost," Lizorr was shown to extend his tongue as seen when he wraps it around He-Man's arm.
 * Quakke (voiced by Don Brown) - A super-strong mutant warrior who can shake the ground by hitting it with his Grabatron Meteormace. He is also called Earthquake in the toyline.
 * Staghorn (voiced by Ted Cole) - A scheming Evil Mutant tracker that wears a helmet with large metal pikes protruding from it which he uses in battle to pick up his enemies and throw them around. He comes from the Regula Mountains in the deepest, darkest part of the frozen Fog Zone on Denebria. Staghorn is the archenemy of Sagitar.
 * Butthead (voiced by Scott McNeil) - A mutant who attacks his enemies by ramming them with his head. Known as "B.H." on the cartoon.
 * Crita (voiced by Venus Terzo) - A crafty female Mutant and later Queen of the Gleanons. She is an attractive and ruthless Evil Mutant who works on the Mutant Mothership and is attracted to Skeletor. By the end of the series, He-Man traps Skeletor and Crita in a shuttle pod and banishes them into space.

 * Mutant Troopers - The generic foot soldiers of the Evil Mutants. Some of them are shock troopers while others pilot their shuttle pods for air attacks.

Other characters

 * Master Sebrian (voiced by Anthony Holland) - The wisest and most knowledgeable man on the planet Primus and the only one who Adam reveals his secret identity to. To help keep Adam's secret, Master Sebrian allows Adam to pass off as his merchant nephew from Levitan. He also has a knowledge of magical spells.
 * Mara (voiced by Venus Terzo) - An assistant of Master Sebrian, ambassador of Primus, and eventually the leader of the Galactimytes. She is shown to have good fighting skills when she goes up against Crita.

 * Gepple (voiced by Don Brown) - Member of the Scientists of Primus. Even though most of the time he's just as bickering and cowardly as his partners, there are times that Gepple is more level-headed than the others. Gepple is also the inventor of a glue called "Gepple Goo" which has come in handy in most episodes.
 * Krex (voiced by Scott McNeil) - Member of the Scientists of Primus and the smartest of the group. He has a terrible memory of things.

Minicomics
In the New Adventures mini-comics packaged with the toys, the story is slightly different: when Prince Adam and Skeletor travel to Primus, Adam becomes He-Man in front of Skeletor, revealing his secret identity and giving up the identity of Prince Adam to remain permanently as He-Man. The "explosion" from the transformation damages Skeletor and he has to become a cyborg in order to survive. Also in the comics, Skeletor does not fake allegiance to Flogg. Instead, he defeats Flogg and assumes full command of the Evil Mutants.

The element of the transformation from Adam to He-Man is retained from the first cartoon series, as the makers felt it would be unwise to abandon it given that the transformation sequence had been one of the most popular elements of the original series. However, in this series, one word in the transformation line is different - instead of "By the power of Grayskull...I have the power!", he says "By the power of Eternia...I have the power!"

Reception
The show has been compared to the original series, with most reviews noting a dramatic shift in tone, creating a sense of discontinuity compared to the original. The quality of the animation is considered superior, but the character designs have been described as bland. Just like He-Man and the Masters of the Universe it has PSAs at the end of each episode.

DVD releases
BCI Eclipse LLC (under its Ink & Paint classic animation entertainment brand) (under license from Entertainment Rights) released The New Adventures of He-Man on DVD in Region 1 in two volume sets in 2006/2007. Each episode on BCI Ink & Paint's DVD releases of The New Adventures of He-Man (AKA He-Man in Space by He-Man fans) was uncut and digitally re-mastered for optimum audio and video quality and presented in its original broadcast presentation and story continuity order, as well as extensive bonus features.

As of 2009, this release has been discontinued and is out of print as BCI Eclipse has ceased operations.

To commemorate the 30th anniversary He-Man and the Masters of the Universe brand, Mill Creek Entertainment released the 30th Anniversary Commemorative Collection of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe DVD in December 2012. The 22-disc features all 130 episodes of the 1983 series, 20 fan-favorite episodes of the 1990 series, as well as all 39 episodes of the 2002 series.

Music samples
Hi, you answered a question I asked on Wikipedia Talk:Music samples about what to do if a copyrighted music sample exceded the agreed length. You said to list it for deletion etc. I need help please, because I don't know what to do. I've listed a few - including Image:07 Carmen la que contaba 16 años.ogg and Image:02 Brisas del Torbes.ogg. I notified the uploader who removed the ifd tag I placed. I reverted and the tag was again removed and replaced by a GNU tag, so I reverted and left a message on the user's talk page. (User talk:GJRFMorelligu) Once again he/she has removed the ifd tag and this time replaced it with "copyright holder allows this to be used for any purpose". There are other long samples added by the same user but I see no point in listing them if they're going to be reverted straight away. This user seems to be blindly and randomly selecting tags to put on these files but what can I do? As soon as I tag the page, it's being reverted, and a new, incorrect tag put in its place.

Hello, I know you're involved in lebanon-related articles, what do you think about wikipedia's israel-lebanon war article. It seems not enough at all is being said about whats actually happening in Lebanon, the pain, suffering, israeli war crimes...Or what life is like under the bombs. It seems the article dosent reallly say anything, and more jews are editing it than us lebanese. What do u think?--Doge120 03:41, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

UN resolutions
Hi Cedar-Guardian! Great name for the protector of a great nation! I noticed that you have been working on the UN resolutions regarding Lebanon in Lebanon and the United Nations, just dawned on me that the resolution texts could be in Wikisource. And yes, it turns out that some diligent people are adding the full text to every UN resolution since 1946 to Wikisource. You can find them at UN Security Council Resolutions, and they have so far put in everything between 1946 and 1960. This means that that those currently red resolution numbers in Lebanon and the United Nations should of course link there, and if you want to run ahead of them because you have access to resolution texts regarding Lebanon for later years, they have already created a page as well as a format for the text, so you would only have to pop it in there and then link it to Lebanon and the United Nations.

When I find the time, I'll be happy to lend a hand to your Lebanon project. I started to re-write the then dreadful history article remotely (i.e. in Word) some time ago, but left it for more urgent stuff (such as the current disaster). I just had a look and noticed that it has already been much improved in a month's time. Best regards Thomas Blomberg 04:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Arabic MoS vs NC
May I refer to the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Arabic): are all presented as "correct" ways of writing Abdul Aziz.
 * Abd al-Aziz
 * Abd ul-Aziz
 * `Abd al-`Aziz
 * `Abdu'l-`Aziz
 * ‘Abd al-‘Azīz
 * ‘Abdu’l-‘Azīz
 * ‘Abd ul-‘Azīz

Note that Abdul Aziz is a disambig page, while Abd al-Aziz and `Abdu'l-`Aziz both redirect to Abdülaziz - not mentioned in the list of "correct" spellings invented by the four people discussing on the MoS talk page... but apparently Abdülaziz is the correct way of writing this person's name. And it has a few other redirects, not mentioned by those summing up the so-called "correct" ways of writing the name, Abd-ul-Aziz, ‘Abdu’l-‘Aziz, Abdül Aziz, etc.

Hence my conclusion that Manual of Style (Arabic) is:
 * 1) Messy, even those experienced with the guideline seem unable to unambiguously derive from it what way to write a name;
 * 2) Useless when it comes to article naming.

How to solve these problems? I don't know: I'm not experienced in Arabic. But it needs no experience to see that even those that *are* experienced can't work with it. That may be OK for a MoS guideline (I'm not that much of an expert in MoS guidelines), but for a naming conventions guideline (where I have a bit more experience) I can only say that this won't do: the minimum standards for such guidelines are not near to be met.

So I see two possibilities:
 * Keep the NC part out of the MoS, so the MoS can be guideline (and the NC part of course not more than "proposed") - that's the course I followed up till now.
 * Keep NC included in the MoS, in which case there's no way the MoS can be promoted to guideline: in that case it will have to stay "proposed" until the problems are solved - that's what I'll do when it's insisted that they be kept together.

FYI, these are the requirements for promoting a NC proposal to NC guideline (copied from the intro of the naming conventions policy page):"If you wish to propose a new naming convention, do so on Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions, whilst also publicising the proposal at Requests for comment and the Village Pump, as well as at any related pages. Once a strong consensus has formed, it can be adopted as a naming convention and listed below."Please fulfill these conditions (including the patience needed for a strong consensus to form) once you think there's enough coherence in the proposal, for it to be made one of the naming conventions guidelines. --Francis Schonken 13:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

About my question about the water dispute between Israel and Lebanon
Hello, I asked questions about Hezbollah and the 2002 water conflict in "Humanities". I thought it would we wiser to ask you this here.. Have you any idea about how the dispute in 2002 ended. On a Lebanon forum elsewhere, they told me that eventually a compromise was created : Lebanon pumps water for human consumption, not for agricultural. Is that correct?

 * OK. I understand your viewpoint. Just thought I'd ask. But after watching FACs all this time, it seems to me Raul654 waits until there've been 4 or more people who participated. I'm not saying it hasn't happened that an article made FA with less participation, but that's what it looks like to me. For example, last week an article made FA with some objects and lots of supports after just 5 days and others were left on the list that'd been there for two weeks already that had 3 supports and no objects. I've never totally figured out how he decides this FAC stuff-;). Thanks for the input again! Rlevse 20:09, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Jan Smuts templates
Yes, the Template:JanSmutsFooter is now favoured for the article series (you will have noted, I'm sure, it is the only template used in the Early life article). Template:JanSmutsSegments is largely vestigial. Most of the articles of the series require referencing, pictures, etc - as I get on to them this latter template will go (it has also been removed from the presently under revision Jan Smuts in the South African Republic article).

I note that you have made some alterations to the lead section of the Early life article, reducing it in size. Your contributions are, of course, more than welcome - I just wonder at your reasoning for the change. Can you point me in the direction of any policy or guideline which mandates against being 'off-topic'? You'll possibly have noticed my justification for including an overview of the entirity of his life on the FAC page:

 * As for including biographical details beyond the immediate scope of the article, I've always thought it important to set some kind of context. If articles are to be 'stand alone' then it's important to give an outline of exactly who the man was, before considering the particluar aspect of his life that the page covers (all IMHO).

In the absence of policy, what you have is a stylistic objection - which I'm more than happy to discuss.

Syria and Lebanon
Hi, if you're around you might note another severe outbreak on Talk:Syrian occupation of Lebanon (yes, it's been moved there again) and Talk:May 17 Agreement, where we are informed that Robert Fisk is a very pro-Arab author and - I infer - therefore it counts more when he describes the Syrian domination of Lebanon as an occupation. Obviously all Arabs can be taken to automatically like Syria, whether they're Syrian, Lebanese or Saudi Arabs, once they start pronouncing those ض´s they go weak at the knees at the sight of Dr. Bashar.

Announcement
Hi, and welcome to the newly started Arab world WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to the Arab World.

The project birthday would be celebrated every August 24.

A few features that you might find helpful:

 * Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
 * The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can [ watchlist it] if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including WPARAB Announcements there.
 * Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you [ watchlist it].
 * The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, and other tasks.

 * Important notice
 * We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful. These guidelines can be subject of discussions at the project talkpage or simply WT:ARAB.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask User:FayssalF for the time being, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around!

So we speak 22 languages?
Can you please help Zerida (and her sock-puppets) understand that Egyptian Arabic is a dialect (because now she is claiming that its a language!), I think she is already taking it personal!

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. RL0919 (talk) 20:15, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Notice of change
Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that you will not longer be able to request restoration of the tools because of your prior inactivity. You have until December 30, 2012 to request restoration or else the policy will prevent you from doing so in the future; you would need to seek a new WP:RFA. Until December 30, you can file a request at WP:BN for review by the crats. Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 04:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Chocolate pudding

Chocolate puddings are a class of desserts in the pudding family with chocolate flavors. There are two main types: a boiled then chilled dessert, texturally a custard set with starch, commonly eaten in the U.S., Canada, Germany, Sweden, Poland, and East and South East Asia; and a steamed/baked version, texturally similar to cake, popular in the UK, Ireland, Australia, Germany and New Zealand.

North American and Asian version
The U.S./Canadian and Asian version is one of the most common varieties of sweet or dessert pudding served in these countries. It is usually eaten as a snack or dessert. It is also used as a filling for chocolate (pudding) pie or black bottom pie.

Historically, it is a variation on chocolate custard, with starch used as a thickener rather than eggs. Early versions of the dish using both egg and flour can be found in the 1918 edition of Fannie Farmer's Boston Cooking School Cook Book and in the 1903 edition of Mary Harris Frazer's Kentucky Receipt Book.

In the late 19th and early 20th century, chocolate pudding was thought of as an appropriate food for invalids or children as well as a dessert. It was not considered a health food in the modern sense of the term but as a wholesome, high-calorie food for those with poor appetites. General Foods (Jell-O) introduced chocolate pudding mix in 1934 as "Walter Baker's Dessert". It was renamed "Pickle's Pudding" in 1936.

Modern chocolate puddings are usually made with milk and sugar, flavored with chocolate and vanilla and thickened with a starch such as flour or cornstarch. Occasionally, eggs are still used when making chocolate pudding. Usually, it is cooked together on the stovetop, but other methods exist including microwaving, steaming, baking (sometimes in a bain-marie), or freezing (using gelatin as a thickener). Sometimes white chocolate pudding is made. Chocolate pudding is commonly purchased ready-made in stores; popular brands include Jell-O Pudding by the Kraft Foods Corporation and Snack Pack by Hunt's.

Many people make their own chocolate puddings at home, but commercially produced tinned or refrigerated versions are commonly available in supermarkets.

British Isles and Australian version
In Britain, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, chocolate pudding is similar in preparation to the Daily Do versions in early 20th century United States. It is a steamed dessert which consists of flour, baking powder, sugar, whole eggs, vanilla aroma, and cocoa powder or chocolate mixed together to make a batter and steamed or baked similar to Christmas pudding. Texturally it is similar to chocolate cake, but denser courtesy of being steamed or baked with boiling water poured over the pudding batter.

Maximum length sequence

A maximum length sequence (MLS) is a type of pseudorandom binary sequence.

They are bit sequences generated using maximal linear-feedback shift registers and are so called because they are periodic and reproduce every binary sequence (except the zero vector) that can be represented by the shift registers (i.e., for length-m registers they produce a sequence of length 2m − 1). An MLS is also sometimes called an n-sequence or an m-sequence. MLSs are spectrally flat, with the exception of a near-zero DC term.

These sequences may be represented as coefficients of irreducible polynomials in a polynomial ring over Z/2Z.

Practical applications for MLS include measuring impulse responses (e.g., of room reverberation or arrival times from towed sources in the ocean ). They are also used as a basis for deriving pseudo-random sequences in digital communication systems that employ direct-sequence spread spectrum and frequency-hopping spread spectrum transmission systems, and in the efficient design of some fMRI experiments.

Generation

MLS are generated using maximal linear-feedback shift registers. An MLS-generating system with a shift register of length 4 is shown in Fig. 1. It can be expressed using the following recursive relation:

 * $$\begin{cases}

a_3[n+1] = a_0[n] + a_1[n]\\ a_2[n+1] = a_3[n] \\ a_1[n+1] = a_2[n] \\ a_0[n+1] = a_1[n] \\ \end{cases} $$

where n is the time index and $$+$$ represents modulo-2 addition. For bit values 0 = FALSE or 1 = TRUE, this is equivalent to the XOR operation.

As MLS are periodic and shift registers cycle through every possible binary value (with the exception of the zero vector), registers can be initialized to any state, with the exception of the zero vector.

Polynomial interpretation
A polynomial over GF(2) can be associated with the linear-feedback shift register. It has degree of the length of the shift register, and has coefficients that are either 0 or 1, corresponding to the taps of the register that feed the xor gate. For example, the polynomial corresponding to Figure 1 is $$x^4+x+1$$.

A necessary and sufficient condition for the sequence generated by a LFSR to be maximal length is that its corresponding polynomial be primitive.

Implementation
MLS are inexpensive to implement in hardware or software, and relatively low-order feedback shift registers can generate long sequences; a sequence generated using a shift register of length 20 is 220 − 1 samples long (1,048,575 samples).

Properties of maximum length sequences
MLS have the following properties, as formulated by Solomon Golomb.

Balance property
The occurrence of 0 and 1 in the sequence should be approximately the same. More precisely, in a maximum length sequence of length $$2^n-1$$ there are $$2^{n-1}$$ ones and $$2^{n-1}-1$$ zeros. The number of ones equals the number of zeros plus one, since the state containing only zeros cannot occur.

Run property
A "run" is a sub-sequence of consecutive "1"s or consecutive "0"s within the MLS concerned. The number of runs is the number of such sub-sequences.

Of all the "runs" (consisting of "1"s or "0"s) in the sequence :
 * One half of the runs are of length 1.
 * One quarter of the runs are of length 2.
 * One eighth of the runs are of length 3.
 * ... etc. ...

Correlation property
The circular autocorrelation of an MLS is a Kronecker delta function (with DC offset and time delay, depending on implementation). For the ±1 convention, i.e., bit value 1 is assigned $$s = +1$$ and bit value 0 $$s = -1$$, mapping XOR to the negative of the product:

$$R(n)=\frac 1 N \sum_{m=1}^N s[m]\, s^*[m+n]_N = \begin{cases} 1 &\text{if } n = 0,  \\ -\frac 1 N &\text{if } 0 < n < N.  \end{cases}$$

where $$s^*$$ represents the complex conjugate and $$[m+n]_N$$ represents a circular shift.

The linear autocorrelation of an MLS approximates a Kronecker delta.

Extraction of impulse responses
If a linear time invariant (LTI) system's impulse response is to be measured using a MLS, the response can be extracted from the measured system output y[n] by taking its circular cross-correlation with the MLS. This is because the autocorrelation of a MLS is 1 for zero-lag, and nearly zero (−1/N where N is the sequence length) for all other lags; in other words, the autocorrelation of the MLS can be said to approach unit impulse function as MLS length increases.

If the impulse response of a system is h[n] and the MLS is s[n], then

 * $$y[n] = (h*s)[n].\,$$

Taking the cross-correlation with respect to s[n] of both sides,

 * $${\phi}_{sy} = h[n]*{\phi}_{ss}\,$$

and assuming that φss is an impulse (valid for long sequences)

 * $$h[n] = {\phi}_{sy}.\,$$

Any signal with an impulsive autocorrelation can be used for this purpose, but signals with high crest factor, such as the impulse itself, produce impulse responses with poor signal-to-noise ratio. It is commonly assumed that the MLS would then be the ideal signal, as it consists of only full-scale values and its digital crest factor is the minimum, 0 dB. However, after analog reconstruction, the sharp discontinuities in the signal produce strong intersample peaks, degrading the crest factor by 4-8 dB or more, increasing with signal length, making it worse than a sine sweep. Other signals have been designed with minimal crest factor, though it is unknown if it can be improved beyond 3 dB.

Relationship to Hadamard transform
Cohn and Lempel showed the relationship of the MLS to the Hadamard transform. This relationship allows the correlation of an MLS to be computed in a fast algorithm similar to the FFT.
