Woodhouse, South Yorkshire

Woodhouse ward—which includes the district of Woodhouse and most of Handsworth—is one of the 28 electoral wards in the City of Sheffield, England. It is located in the southeastern part of the city and covers an area of 2.7 sqmi. The population of this ward in 2011 was 17,450 people in 7,764 households. It is one of the wards that make up the Sheffield South East constituency (formerly Sheffield Attercliffe constituency).

Woodhouse
Woodhouse is a former farming and coal-mining village, now a suburb and housing estate in the south-east of Sheffield. It is served by regular buses to Sheffield and has a station on the Sheffield–Lincoln railway line.

The 17th century former Cross Daggers public house, the base of the village market cross and the stocks can be seen in the centre of the suburb. Many other old cottages, including a wattle and daub house dating from the fifteenth century, were demolished in the 1960s as part of a major redevelopment. An old Quaker Meetinghouse dating to the 17th century was converted into private residences in the 1980s.

Woodhouse is home to the Woodhouse Prize Band, a brass band founded in 1853.

History
Woodhouse today bears little resemblance to its humble beginnings. This farming village was, until the advent of coal mining in the area, relatively free of any kind of modern post-industrial revolution influence. The population was invariably engaged in either small-scale farming or farming related sub-industries such as early retail and tanning. Most of the architecture associated with this era has been lost but, luckily, a few reminders survive. Manor Farm Cottage, at the heart of the village, is a sympathetically restored old building and a reminder of Woodhouse's long-lost past.

The advent of coal mining attracted an influx of young men and families wishing to capitalise on the various local mining ventures. Woodhouse grew quickly into a mining community with the opening of a number of mines within commuting distance. The village expanded considerably to accommodate the pit workers. Spa Lane, Back Lane and Sheffield Road quickly wound a new and expansive network of pit houses, ensuring that Woodhouse would become a 'pit village'.

Woodhouse is home to the Woodhouse Prize Band, a brass band founded in 1853.

A detailed history of the life of Woodhouse in 1912 and 1966 is available from Sheffield University library.

Sport
Woodhouse F.C. and Woodhouse Britannia F.C. represented the village in the FA Cup during the 1910s and 1920s.

Woodhouse Mill
Woodhouse Mill is generally accepted as the area, within the City of Sheffield, to the east of the former Great Central railway line. This was a farming area on which housing was developed over a period in the 20th century. The Shirtcliff Brook runs through the area but to avoid recurring flooding this has now been culverted.

Woodhouse Washlands Nature Reserve
The Woodhouse Washlands Nature Reserve, managed by the Wildlife Trust for Sheffield and Rotherham is situated in Woodhouse Mill and boasts several species of fish, birds and other wetland creatures. The River Rother runs through the wetlands.

Badger Road
The Badger estate was built in the 1960s as a solution to the severe housing shortage. The houses were supposed to be temporary but, after 50 years, they remain. The estate includes Badger Road, Badger Close, Badger Drive, Badger Place, Goathland Drive, Goathland Place and Station Road.

Torban

The torban (, also teorban or Ukrainian theorbo) is a Ukrainian musical instrument that combines the features of the Baroque lute with those of the psaltery. The Тorban differs from the more common European bass lute known as the theorbo in that it had additional short unfretted treble strings (known as prystrunky) strung along the treble side of the soundboard.

Overview
It appeared in the second quarter of the 18th century, probably influenced by the central European Theorbo and the Angelique which, according to Ukrainian sources Cossack mercenaries would have encountered in the Thirty Years' War. According to Marcin Ludwicki and Roman Turovsky, the torban's inventor was Tuliglowski, a Paulite monk from Jasna Gora, who designed the instrument between 1736 and 1740. The Torban was manufactured and used mainly in Ukraine, but also occasionally encountered in neighbouring Poland and Russia (only 3 luthiers could be identified from the surviving instruments). There are about 40 torbans in museums around the world, with the largest group of 14 instruments in St. Petersburg. The term "torban" was often misapplied in the vernacular in western Ukraine to any instrument of the Baroque Lute type until the early 20th century.

The surviving printed musical literature for torban is extremely limited, notwithstanding the widespread use of the instrument in Eastern Europe. It was an integral part of the urban oral culture in Ukraine, both in Russian and Polish (later Austro-Hungarian Empire) controlled parts of the country (after the split). To date the only notated examples of torban music recorded are a group of songs from the repertoire of Franz Widort; collected by Ukrainian composer and ethnographer Mykola Lysenko and published in the "Kievskaya Starina" journal in 1892, with a collection of songs by Tomasz Padura published in Warsaw in 1844.

The multi-strung, expensive in manufacture, stringing, maintenance and technically difficult fretted torban was considered an instrument of Ukrainian gentry, although most of its practitioners were Ukrainians and Jews of low birth, with a few aristocratic exceptions. A few virtuoso players are known by their reputation, such as Andrey Sychra (from Lithuania), and the Widort family, originally from Austria but active in Ukraine since the late 18th century. The Widort family produced three generations of torban players: Gregor Widort, his son Cajetan, and grandson Franz. Such aristocratic associations sealed the instrument's fate in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution: it was deemed insufficiently proletarian and was discouraged. A predecessor of the torban called the kobza (also sometimes referred to as the bandura) was the instrument of the common folk. It differed from the torban by the absence of a second peg box at the end of the neck and the lack of bass strings, and was closely related in its organology to central European mandora and other instruments descending from the pandura (also see lute).

Later in the 20th century, some banduras were often manufactured to imitate the look of the torban, which has also contributed to its misidentification.

Seems to me that Detroit blues isn't that distinct from Chicago blues of similar time frame. The main difference is just the location and people involved.

FAR notice
I see that this article cites ancient sources directly, which isn't generally accepted because ancient sources are not WP:RS. Since this promotion is from a decade ago, it could certainly stand to get looked at again at Featured article review. buidhe 08:09, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Iazyges   Consermonor   Opus meum  02:35, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

The more I review this article's sources, the more concerned I am that this article doesn't fulfil the FA criteria. Concerns are outlined below: I'm considering this a second notice for a possible FAR, and will indicate as such as WP:FARGIVEN. Is anyone interested in fixing up this article? Z1720 (talk) 14:54, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * There seems to be a reliance on ancient sources in some sections, which as buidhe points out above, might not be accepted today.
 * There are other sources that I find skeptical, like Ref 83 which uses www.dot-domesday.me.uk and numerous blog posts from roman-emperors.org of which I could not find an author's name in the post, so I cannot confirm if author listed in this article is correct.
 * There is a list of articles in "Further reading" which I think should be consulted and added into the article if able.
 * There are other sources listed in "Bibliography" which are not used as footnotes in the article (like Banchich, Thomas M., Elliott, T. G. and Lewis, Naphtali) These should be used as footnotes or removed.
 * The source formatting varies wildly, probably because sources have been added since its FAC promotion: some are missing years of publications for books, some missing ISBNs, and the CAH references do not indicate the full name of the author when lsited in the citations section (so the article only gives the author's last name).
 * Concur with your summary of issues; I will say that the www.roman-emperors.org (which is actually a scholarly work in spite of lackluster appearance) has changed formats recently in a very frustrating and unhelpful way, chief among them that they now remove the author's name. Archives can be used to confirm author names, however. Iazyges   Consermonor   Opus meum  16:50, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Please take this in the spirit of inquiry - checking to see that I've understood things correctly:
 * On the use of ancient sources - I've only given it a cursory check, but as far as I can see, most of the uses fall under one of the below:
 * The article is explicitly addressing the reactions of e.g. Aurelius Victor to Diocletian's treatment of Carinus' officials, and so cites Aurelius Victor to do so. It seems to me there's a case-by-case check to be done about whether there's any value in referring to that person's reaction at all (in this example, Aurelius Victor is quite a lot later than Diocletian, so my instinct would say 'no'), but, at least in principle, can the article not cite ancient sources when explicitly talking about ancient authors' views of the matter under discussion?
 * The article also cites modern scholarly literature, and the primary-source citation is really a matter of 'showing working' (and probably the entire evidence base on which the secondary author has based their claim). Should those primary sources be excised?
 * Looking quickly at the bibliography, it seems that a lot of the ugliness could be solved by imposing a uniform referencing system - most of the entries seem to have been entered manually. Personally, I quite like with,  and so on. That would, at least, mean that information was presented in the same order, and perhaps be a useful first step towards going back in and tracking down missing details?
 * Some of the dodgy references seem to be used in support of other, less dodgy ones, and so could be cut out without causing any real problems.
 * Happy to have a go along those lines, if it would help?

 * Yes, it is encyclopedic. It's what modern scholarly sources say. Neither the date nor the cause of his death are known for certain. DrKay (talk) 15:37, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Actually, DrKay, it's what a few historians have speculated. There's no hard proof whatsoever that Diocletian committed suicide, and although papers/books may be published, getting the mainstream of university professors to accept this premise is another matter - our staff certainly hasn't, while finding the concept interesting; I doubt you will find this being taught at any major school as fact at this time. It is at university roundtables where mainstream historical thought is developed - where scholarly writings are discussed and balanced with opposing/alternate views.  I'm uncomfortable about the way the paragraph ends with the impression that this is how he died - I strongly suggest a more mainstream group of sources also be used.HammerFilmFan (talk) 15:17, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Not particularly, no. I rewrote Basiliscus and the size nearly doubled. I just think the rewrite would actually be easy for me than double-checking every single cite to ensure it actually is there, and all the other issues that happen when it festers for some time.

Troop numbers
In his military reforms section, it is stated that Lactantius criticized Diocletian for the troop increases. Treadgold also maintains that a large increase in the number of soldiers occurred in Diocletian’s reign. However, in the Wikipedia page about the late Roman   Army, a relatively thorough analysis concludes that Treadgold is most likely incorrect in his observation between statements made by John of Lydus (who concluded about 400k effectives) and Zosimus (who concluded 581k). The Wiki page states the following (significantly paraphrased by me):

[Treadgold argues that John was stating the start of Diocletian’s reign, while Zosimus stated the end. However, Treadgold also concludes that the army size remained constant throughout the Crisis, which is absurd. Furthermore, Zosimus has been pegged as unreliable, given he stated 60,000 Alemmani deaths at Strasbourg in 357, while Ammanius stated 6,000-8,000. Finally, It would be strange for John to give out the number of men at the beginning of Diocletian’s reign, when he could easily give out the peak number of effectives. Finally, Agathias and Zosimus may have given out the official number of men, rather than the actual, as units may have been significantly damaged from the crisis and other wars.]

I simply want Diocletian’s page to be revised in order to reflect this analysis, given that Treadgold is most likely incorrect. However, am I still unsure if this is truly the right point of view, and if a true expert can patch me up, that would be great. Thank you! Aurelianberries (talk) 05:24, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Suicide
Two IP editors have now changed the discussion of Diocletian's death from saying that "some" suggest that he committed suicide to that "[the] majority of historians" say this. The source cited does not support this claim, but the most recent editor introducing this claim says in their summary to this edit that "many other sources outside of wiki say so!" It is possibly true that this is the majority opinion – Brill's New Pauly says that he killed himself, though the Oxford Classical Dictionary merely says that he died – but we can't say so based on a forty-year-old source which says nothing of the sort! So: is this the majority opinion? What are the sources? Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 14:26, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * It should be noted that the edit you mention was the first and only edit by that IP.

 * Does this supposed suicide even belong in this article at all? I don't doubt that "some" people have suggested it, but it sounds like speculation without evidence, which doesn't belong in an encyclopaedia. It is also difficult to reconcile this with the account given in the preceding paragraph about him being happy in his retirement. Richard75 (talk) 11:42, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Pedro de Cordoba

Pedro de Cordoba (September 28, 1881 – September 16, 1950) was an American actor.

Biography
De Cordoba was born in New York City to parents who were French and Cuban in origin. He was a classically trained theatre actor who confessed he did not enjoy appearing in silent films nearly as much as he liked working on stage, but his career during the silent film era was extensive.

In 1913 he was a member of the resident summer stock cast at Elitch Theatre in Denver, Colorado.

His first film was Cecil B. DeMille's version of Carmen (1915), and he soon became a regular leading man in Hollywood. His Broadway career cast him with such stage actresses as Jane Cowl and Katharine Cornell.

In the sound era, his deeply resonant speaking voice made him perfectly suited to talking pictures and was active as a character actor in Hollywood, from the mid-1930s through to the end of his life. He was most often cast as aristocratic, or clerical characters of Hispanic origin, as in The Keys of the Kingdom (1944), because of his last name as well as his royal bearing. On rare occasions, he would be cast in the role of a villain. His "living skeleton" sideshow character hides fugitive Robert Cummings (and Priscilla Lane) in his carnival wagon overnight in the Alfred Hitchcock film Saboteur (1942).

He was a devout Catholic and served for a time as president of the Catholic Actors Guild of America. The last film in which he appeared, a political drama set in an unnamed South American dictatorship, Crisis (1950), was released shortly after his death.

Human-centered computing

Human-centered computing (HCC) studies the design, development, and deployment of mixed-initiative human-computer systems. It is emerged from the convergence of multiple disciplines that are concerned both with understanding human beings and with the design of computational artifacts. Human-centered computing is closely related to human-computer interaction and information science. Human-centered computing is usually concerned with systems and practices of technology use while human-computer interaction is more focused on ergonomics and the usability of computing artifacts and information science is focused on practices surrounding the collection, manipulation, and use of information.

Human-centered computing researchers and practitioners usually come from one or more disciplines such as computer science, human factors, sociology, psychology, cognitive science, anthropology, communication studies, graphic design, and industrial design. Some researchers focus on understanding humans, both as individuals and in social groups, by focusing on the ways that human beings adopt and organize their lives around computational technologies. Others focus on designing and developing new computational artifacts.

Scope
HCC aims at bridging the existing gaps between the various disciplines involved with the design and implementation of computing systems that support human's activities. Meanwhile, it is a set of methodologies that apply to any field that uses computers in applications in which people directly interact with devices or systems that use computer technologies.

HCC facilitates the design of effective computer systems that take into account personal, social, and cultural aspects and addresses issues such as information design, human information interaction, human-computer interaction, human-human interaction, and the relationships between computing technology and art, social, and cultural issues.

HCC topics
The National Science Foundation (NSF) defines three-dimensional research as "a three dimensional space comprising human, computer, and environment." According to the NSF, the human dimension ranges from research that supports individual needs, through teams as goal-oriented groups, to society as an unstructured collection of connected people. The computer dimension ranges from fixed computing devices, through mobile devices, to computational systems of visual/audio devices that are embedded in the surrounding physical environment. The environment dimension ranges from discrete physical computational devices, through mixed reality systems, to immersive virtual environments. Some examples of topics in the field are listed below.

List of topics in the HCC field

 * Problem-solving in distributed environments, ranging across Internet-based information systems, grids, sensor-based information networks, and mobile and wearable information appliances.
 * Multimedia and multi-modal interfaces in which combinations of speech, text, graphics, gesture, movement, touch, sound, etc. are used by people and machines to communicate with one another.
 * Intelligent interfaces and user modeling, information visualization, and adaptation of content to accommodate different display capabilities, modalities, bandwidth, and latency.
 * Multi-agent systems that control and coordinate actions and solve complex problems in distributed environments in a wide variety of domains, such as disaster response teams, e-commerce, education, and successful aging.
 * Models for effective computer-mediated human-human interaction under a variety of constraints, (e.g., video conferencing, collaboration across high vs. low bandwidth networks, etc.).
 * Definition of semantic structures for multimedia information to support cross-modal input and output.
 * Specific solutions to address the special needs of particular communities.
 * Collaborative systems that enable knowledge-intensive and dynamic interactions for innovation and knowledge generation across organizational boundaries, national borders, and professional fields.
 * Novel methods to support and enhance social interaction, including innovative ideas like social orthotics, affective computing, and experience capture.
 * Studies of how social organizations, such as government agencies or corporations, respond to and shape the introduction of new information technologies, especially with the goal of improving scientific understanding and technical design.
 * Knowledge-driven human-computer interaction that uses ontologies to address the semantic ambiguities between human and computer's understandings towards mutual behaviors
 * Human-centered semantic relatedness measure that employs human power to measure the semantic relatedness between two concepts

Human-centered systems
Human-centered systems (HCS) are systems designed for human-centered computing. This approach was developed by Mike Cooley in his book Architect or Bee? drawing on his experience working with the Lucas Plan. HCS focuses on the design of interactive systems as they relate to human activities. According to Kling et al., the Committee on Computing, Information, and Communication of the National Science and Technology Council, identified human-centered systems, or HCS, as one of five components for a High Performance Computing Program. Human-centered systems can be referred to in terms of human-centered automation. According to Kling et al., HCS refers to "systems that are:
 * 1) based on the analysis of the human tasks the system is aiding
 * 2) monitored for performance in terms of human benefits
 * 3) built to take account of human skills and
 * 4) adaptable easily to changing human needs."

In addition, Kling et al. defines four dimensions of human-centeredness that should be taken into account when classifying a system: systems that are human centered must analyze the complexity of the targeted social organization, and the varied social units that structure work and information; human centeredness is not an attribute of systems, but a process in which the stakeholder group of a particular system assists in evaluating the benefit of the system; the basic architecture of the system should reflect a realistic relationship between humans and machines; the purpose and audience the system is designed for should be an explicit part of the design, evaluation, and use of the system.

Human-computer interaction
Within the field of human-computer interaction (HCI), the term "user-centered" is commonly used. The main focus of this approach is to thoroughly understand and address user needs to drive the design process. However, human-centered computing (HCC) goes beyond conventional areas like usability engineering, human-computer interaction, and human factors which primarily deal with user interfaces and interactions. Experts define HCC as a discipline that integrates disciplines such as learning sciences, social sciences, cognitive sciences, and intelligent systems more extensively compared to traditional HCI practices.

The concept of human-centered computing (HCC) is regarded as an essential aspect within the realm of computer-related research, extending beyond being just a subset discipline of computer science. The HCC perspective acknowledges that "computing" encompasses tangible technologies that enable diverse tasks while also serving as a significant social and economic influence.

In addition, Dertouzos elaborates on how HCC goes beyond the notion of interfaces that are easy for users to navigate by strategically incorporating five technologies: natural interaction, automation, personalized information retrieval, collaborative capabilities, and customization.

While the scope of HCC is extensive, three fundamental factors are proposed to constitute the core of HCC system and algorithm design processes:

 * 1) Social and culturally aware considerations.
 * 2) Direct augmentation and/or consideration of human abilities.
 * 3) Adaptability is a key feature.

Adherence to these factors in system and algorithm design for HCC applications is anticipated to yield qualities such as:

 * 1) Responsive actions aligned with the social and cultural context of deployment.
 * 2) Integration of input from various sensors, with communication through diverse media as output.
 * 3) Accessibility for a diverse range of individuals.

Human-centered activities in multimedia

The human-centered activities in multimedia, or HCM, can be considered as follows according to: media production, annotation, organization, archival, retrieval, sharing, analysis, and communication, which can be clustered into three areas: production, analysis, and interaction.

Multimedia production
Multimedia production is the human task of creating media. For instance, photographing, recording audio, remixing, etc. All aspects of media production concerned must directly involve humans in HCM. There are two main characteristics of multimedia production. The first is culture and social factors. HCM production systems should consider cultural differences and be designed according to the culture in which they will be deployed. The second is to consider human abilities. Participants involved in HCM production should be able to complete the activities during the production process. The field of Multimedia in Human-Centered Multimedia (HCM) is dedicated to the creation and development of various forms of media, including photography, audio recording, and remixing. What sets HCM apart is its emphasis on active human involvement throughout the production process. This means that cultural differences must be taken into account to tailor HCM systems according to specific cultural contexts. Furthermore, a key factor for achieving success in HCM production lies in recognizing and utilizing human capabilities effectively; this enables active participation and ensures efficient completion of all production activities.

Multimedia analysis
Multimedia analysis can be considered as a type of HCM applications which is the automatic analysis of human activities and social behavior in general. There is a broad area of potential relevant uses from facilitating and enhancing human communications, to allowing for improved information access and retrieval in the professional, entertainment, and personal domains. The field of Multimedia Analysis in Human-Centered Multimedia (HCM), involves automatically analyzing human activities and social behavior. This application area covers a wide range of domains, including improving communication between individuals and enhancing information access in professional, entertainment, and personal contexts. The possibilities for utilizing multimedia analysis are extensive, as it goes beyond simple categorization to achieve a nuanced understanding of human behavior. By doing so, system functionalities can be enhanced while providing users with improved experiences.

Multimedia interaction
Multimedia interaction can be considered as the interaction activity area of HCM. It is paramount to understand both how humans interact with each other and why, so that we can build systems to facilitate such communication and so that people can interact with computers in natural ways. To achieve natural interaction, cultural differences and social context are primary factors to consider, due to the potential different cultural backgrounds. For instance, a couple of examples include: face-to-face communications where the interaction is physically located and real-time; live-computer mediated communications where the interaction is physically remote but remains real-time; and non-real time computer-mediated communications such as instant SMS, email, etc.

Human-Centered Design Process
The Human-Centered Design Process is a method to problem-solving used in design. The process involves, first, empathizing with the user to learn about the target audience of the product and understand their needs. Empathizing will then lead to research, and asking the target audience specific question to further understand their goals for the product at hand. This researching stage may also involve competitor analysis to find more design opportunities in the product's market. Once the designer has compiled data on the user and the market for their product design, they will then move on to the ideation stage, in which they will brainstorm design solutions through sketches and wireframes. Wireframing is a digital or physical illustration of a user interface, focusing on information architecture, space allocation, and content functionality. Consequently, a wireframe typically does not have any colors or graphics and only focuses on the intended functionalities of the interface.

To conclude the Human-Centered Design Process, there are two final steps. Upon wireframing or sketching, the designer will usually turn their paper sketches or low-fidelity wireframes into high-fidelity prototypes. Prototyping allows the designer to explore their design ideas further and focus on the overall design concept. High-fidelity means that the prototype is interactive or "clickable" and simulates the a real application. After creating this high-fidelity prototype of their design, the designer can then conduct usability testing. This involves collecting participants that represent the target audience of the product and having them walk through the prototype as if they were using the real product. The goal of usability testing is to identify any issues with the design that need to be improved and analyze how real users will interact with the product. To run an effective usability test, it is imperative to take notes on the users behavior and decisions and also have the user thinking out loud while they use the prototype.

Academic programs
As human-centered computing has become increasingly popular, many universities have created special programs for HCC research and study for both graduate and undergraduate students.

User interface designer
A user interface designer is an individual who usually with a relevant degree or high level of knowledge, not only on technology, cognitive science, human–computer interaction, learning sciences, but also on psychology and sociology. A user interface designer develops and applies user-centered design methodologies and agile development processes that includes consideration for overall usability of interactive software applications, emphasizing interaction design and front-end development.

Information architect (IA)
Information architects mainly work to understand user and business needs in order to organize information to best satisfy these needs. Specifically, information architects often act as a key bridge between technical and creative development in a project team. Areas of interest in IA include search schemas, metadata, and taxonomy.

NASA/Ames Computational Sciences Division
The Human-Centered Computing (HCC) group at NASA/Ames Computational Sciences Division is conducting research at Haughton as members of the Haughton-Mars Project (HMP) to determine, via an analog study, how we will live and work on Mars.
 * 1) HMP/Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Field Robotics Experiments—HCC is collaborating with researchers on the HMP/CMU field robotics research program at Haughton to specify opportunities for robots assisting scientists. Researchers in this project have carried out a parallel investigation that documents work during traverses. A simulation module has been built, using a tool that represents people, their tools, and their work environment, that will serve as a partial controller for a robot that assist scientists in the field work in mars. When it comes to take human, computing and environment all into consideration, theory and techniques in HCC field will be the guideline.
 * 2) Ethnography of Human Exploration of Space—HCC lab is carrying out an ethnographic study of scientific field work, covering all aspects of a scientist's life in the field. This study involves observing as participants at Haughton and writing about HCC lab`s experiences. HCC lab then look for patterns in how people organize their time, space, and objects and how they relate to each other to accomplish their goals. In this study, HCC lab is focusing on learning and conceptual change.

Center for Cognitive Ubiquitous Computing (CUbiC) at Arizona State University
Based on the principles of human-centered computing, the Center for Cognitive Ubiquitous Computing (CUbiC) at Arizona State University develops assistive, rehabilitative and healthcare applications. Founded by Sethuraman Panchanathan in 2001, CUbiC research spans three main areas of multimedia computing: sensing and processing, recognition and learning, and interaction and delivery. CUbiC places an emphasis on transdisciplinary research and positions individuals at the center of technology design and development. Examples of such technologies include the Note-Taker, a device designed to aid students with low vision to follow classroom instruction and take notes, and VibroGlove, which conveys facial expressions via haptic feedback to people with visual impairments.

In 2016, researchers at CUbiC introduced "Person-Centered Multimedia Computing", a new paradigm adjacent to HCC, which aims to understand a user's needs, preferences, and mannerisms including cognitive abilities and skills to design ego-centric technologies. Person-centered multimedia computing stresses the multimedia analysis and interaction facets of HCC to create technologies that can adapt to new users despite being designed for an individual.

Mickey Morandini

Michael Robert "Mickey" Morandini (born April 22, 1966), is an American former professional baseball second baseman and coach, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs, and Toronto Blue Jays. His career highlights include selection as a 1995 National League (NL) All-Star, playing for the Phillies in the 1993 NL Championship Series and World Series, and appearing for the Cubs in the 1998 NL Division Series.

Early life and career
Morandini grew up in the Pittsburgh suburb of Leechburg, Pennsylvania, where he attended Leechburg Area High School. After graduation, Morandini attended Indiana University, where he started his college career as a center fielder, moving to the infield as a third baseman and shortstop after his freshman year.

In 1987, he played collegiate summer baseball in the Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL) for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox, winning the league batting title, and being named league MVP. In 2005, he was inducted into the CCBL Hall of Fame.

Morandini declined the option to enter the Major League Baseball draft in 1987, citing his desire to play for the United States national team in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. After appearing in one game during the Olympics, he returned to Indiana for his senior season; he was named a second-team All-American for the 1988 season.

Morandini graduated as the Indiana University record-holder in several statistical categories, including runs scored (277), doubles (61), triples (29), and stolen bases (127). The Philadelphia Phillies selected Morandini in the fifth round of the 1988 Major League Baseball Draft.

Minor leagues
After drafting Morandini, the Phillies assigned him to the Spartanburg Phillies, one of their A-level affiliates in Spartanburg, South Carolina. He played in 63 games for Spartanburg in 1989, batting .338 with 19 doubles, earning him a promotion to the high-A Clearwater Phillies. In Florida, he notched 19 hits and 14 runs scored in 63 at-bats; he also batted in four runs. Finishing the season with the AA-level Reading Phillies, Morandini hit 5 home runs in 188 at-bats, posting a .351 average. Morandini won the 1989 Paul Owens Award as the top minor league position player in the Phillies organization. Morandini committed 22 errors in his first professional season as a shortstop and with Dickie Thon playing shortstop at the major league level, the Phillies organization shifted him to his eventual major league position, second base during the 1989 Florida Instructional league season.

Morandini spent the majority of the 1990 season with the AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons. While playing in 139 games, he stole 16 bases and batted in 31 runs in 503 at-bats. He also batted .260 and scored 76 runs. During this season, Morandini was named 41st out of the top 50 prospects in Major League Baseball by Baseball America. The move to second base improved his fielding percentage greatly; Morandini cut his errors in half in only one season, posting 11 with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He also earned a short promotion to the major league club; he played in 25 games, hitting 4 doubles and 1 home run in 87 plate appearances.

1990–1997: Philadelphia Phillies
After a short stint in Scranton to start 1991, Morandini returned to the major leagues for the remainder of his career. He amassed four triples and thirteen stolen bases in his first full season, highlighting his speed. The following season produced one of the most memorable moments of Morandini's career. In a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 20, 1992, he turned an unassisted triple play. In the sixth inning, Morandini caught a line drive off of the bat of Jeff King, touched second base to put out Andy Van Slyke, and tagged out Barry Bonds coming from first base; the Pirates went on to win the game, 3–2, in extra innings. It was the first unassisted triple play since 1968, and the first in the National League since 1927. Morandini was also the first second baseman in National League history, and the first in the regular season, to turn an unassisted triple play; all previous occurrences were made by first basemen or shortstops. The only other second baseman to achieve the feat prior was Bill Wambsganss, who turned a triple play in the 1920 World Series.

The Phillies appeared in the World Series in 1993 with Morandini at the top of the lineup; he batted second in manager Jim Fregosi's batting order more often than any other position. During the season, he turned 48 double plays with infield partner Kevin Stocker. Morandini had a .247 batting average during the season, the lowest among the Phillies' starters; he was second on the team in stolen bases to Lenny Dykstra, and led the team in triples with nine. His triples total was also tied for third-best in the National League. In 1994, Morandini posted the highest on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of his career, with a .787 mark. He also walked 34 times in 316 plate appearances, but lost playing time to Mariano Duncan, who appeared at all four infield positions throughout the season. 1995 was arguably Morandini's finest season; he batted .283 with 6 home runs, 7 triples, and 49 RBI. He was also named to the 1995 All-Star team; he appeared in the game, going 0-for-1, and was one of five Phillies to be selected for the team.

Morandini racked up the highest stolen base total of his career in 1996, with 26, though it was a down year for him statistically. His batting average was .250, with 3 home runs, 6 triples, and 24 doubles. He struck out 87 times while walking 49, and amassed 135 hits in 606 plate appearances. The following year, his batting average was at its highest point during his career as a Phillie; Morandini hit .295 and slugged .380. He posted a fielding percentage of .990, making only 6 errors while recording 87 double plays; Morandini's defense throughout his career earned him the nickname "Dandy Little Glove Man". After the 1997 season, Morandini was traded to the Chicago Cubs for outfielder Doug Glanville.

1998–1999: Chicago Cubs
In 1998, Morandini posted a .296 batting average, along with 172 hits, 8 home runs, and 53 RBI, all career highs. He and the Cubs also appeared in the 1998 National League Division Series, but lost to the Atlanta Braves. Morandini made his only appearance in the Most Valuable Player award balloting, tying with Javy López for 24th in the voting. Morandini's production declined in 1999, as he hit .241 and scored 60 runs, and he chose free agency after the season, signing with the Montréal Expos in January 2000.

2000: Last season and retirement
Two months after signing with Montréal, the Phillies purchased his rights from the Expos, and he returned to Philadelphia for the 2000 season. After batting .252 and hitting four triples for the Phillies, they traded him to the Toronto Blue Jays in August for Rob Ducey. Morandini played his final two months in the American League, batting at the bottom of the order for the Jays. He had 29 hits in 107 at-bats, good for a .271 average, and stole a base.

Career statistics
In 1,298 games over 11 seasons, Morandini posted a .268 batting average (1,222-for-4,558) with 597 runs, 209 doubles, 54 triples, 32 home runs, 351 RBI, 123 stolen bases, 437 bases on balls, .338 on-base percentage and .359 slugging percentage. He finished his career with a .989 fielding percentage as a second baseman. In 10 postseason games, he batted .233 (7-for-30) with 3 runs, 1 triple, 3 RBI and 3 walks.

Post-player activities
Morandini resided in Chesterton, Indiana, where the family opened a stationery business. He was the head baseball coach at Valparaiso High School until accepting the manager's position for the Williamsport Crosscutters, one of the Phillies' A-level affiliates, for the 2011 season. On November 21, 2011, he was named the 10th manager of the Philadelphia Phillies A-level Affiliate Lakewood BlueClaws. On November 2, 2015, Morandini was named first base coach of the Philadelphia Phillies. After two years as a coach, the team promoted Morandini to an off-field role as club ambassador. He and his wife, Peg, have 3 boys.

Mickey Morandini
While turning a unassited triple play is nice, i dont think it is worthy of an article in wikipedia. bakuzjw (aka 578) 00:20, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Expanded article. Substantial major league career, named an All-Star; easily merits an article. MisfitToys 03:11, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. I never saw him play much, but anyone who followed baseball in the 1990s at least heard of him. We have articles on players who are much more obscure than Mickey Morandini. I don't think we should delete those and we definitely shouldn't delete this one. I see that six articles link to it anyway, so if it were to be deleted, it would just be a matter of time before it was created again. Why waste the effort? Dave Farquhar 05:52, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 02:09, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * keep! Unassisted triple play is very notable. It's only been done about ten times in Major League Baseball. Also, yeah, we have articles on lots of other players. FreplySpang (talk) 02:50, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, under the bar of notability. Megan1967 07:35, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep any and all professional sportspeople. Xezbeth  07:37, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep; most baseball fans have at least heard of him; he did have a few notable career accomplishments; and Wikipedia is not paper. BTW, I'm getting a bit concerned about the way that voting breaks down in VfD. Megan1967, when was the last time you voted to keep an article on VfD? Kappa, when was the last time you voted to delete one? Are there people who go through and just answer "keep" or "delete" on everything? Firebug 09:49, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Well if someone is significantly more liberal than the Vfd average, most of their "delete" votes on "notability" issues will be superfluous, even if they agree. I don't need to vote delete when there's obviously a consensus to do so, that just clogs up the system. (Likewise with less-liberal voters). If I'm the first person around I sometimes vote delete, e.g. Halover. The problem is that we all agree people need some notability, but not how much. Incidentally I've seen Megan1967 make many significant "keep" votes. Kappa 10:49, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Book of Wisdom

2005 discussion
It might be good for someone who knows about these things to say something comprehensive about New Testament references to this book, and use the passage from Matthew only as an example. —JerryFriedman 00:20, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't think there are any explicit New Testament references to this book at all, but similar language is used. This Matthew passage is the best example of this -- it displays parallel themes and even the same type of language and wording that is found in the Book of Wisdom in order to help the reader make a connection between Jesus and the Suffering Servant figure found in the Old Testament prophecies. The point of mentioning the Matthew passage is to show the influence of the Book of Wisdom. It seems obvious that the author of Matthew had the Book of Wisdom and the Book of Psalms in mind because he employed their language and themes, expecting his Jewish audience to recognize them.Paradiso 06:02, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry to take so long. Given what you said above, my problem with the current article is that it says, "For example," there's this correspondence.  That implies to me that there are several similar examples.  Instead, you say, that passage is the best example.  I'm about to make a change, but since my knowledge of this is only superficial, maybe you (or anyone more knowledgeable than I am) will be able to improve on it.  —JerryFriedman 22:26, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Influence on the Gospel of Matthew
Re: The section on the Influence on the Gospel of Matthew. I didn't know what to do with this, and was ready to either delete it entirely or tag the whole article as falling below wiki standards. Instead, I took a crack at editing it, though more work may need to be done if it is to remain. If we're going to end this article with that section, something more needs to be said or another section added: the article seems to end abruptly. Sayvandelay 14:19, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I've taken a stab at reworking this section. It's not perfect, but I think it's an improvement. Timotheos 01:55, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I removed it, because I've added a section that covers the same ideas but is better sourced. I incorporated about a sentence from this into my edit. Carl.bunderson (talk) 22:15, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Religious Views
This section needs to be totally redone. It states that Wisdom and Ecclesiastes contradict each other and then gives examples which have no contradictions. Ecclesiastes 4:12 preaches a philosophy of uncertainty, not of despair as in Wisdom 2:1. This section implies that Ecclesiastes does not teach "that trust and fear of God provide the path to redemption," when in fact that is the whole thesis of Ecclesiastes. "The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person" (Ecc. 12:13).

It is also stated that Sirach contradicts Ecclesiastes, again without valid examples. The idea that Ecc. 1:13 and Sirach 3:21-23 are contradictory is full of assumptions which are unnecessary and comical, implying that the seeking which Koheleth urges is "too hard," "above thy strength," and "unnecessary." That's a ridiculous assumption. Someone needs to delete this section and rewrite it. --Malkiyahu (talk) 20:59, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

 * I've removed it. carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 14:54, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Xenophon There's a reference to Xenophon's Memorabilia [2,1:37] which is clearly wrong as chapter 1 of book 2 has only 34 sections. This is annoying. Heracles' conversation with Virtue doesn't begin until section 27. The reference should be to the Memorabilia 2,1:27-34. The resemblance in any case is only slight. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.171.81.77 (talk) 23:20, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

NPOV
Exclusively referring the Apocrypha as "Deuterocanonical" violates NPOV. Probably the majority of persons in the world do not consider the Apocrypha as "deuterocanonical." Papists use that term. As to the Septuagint (LXX), to refer to anything in it as "Old Testament" is anachronistic. When the LXX was made, there was no such concept as "Old Testament" applied to scripture (so far as we know). I don't know of any proof for what the original LXX translators translated, and what they considered as God's Word (Scripture). Nor would their translation of a document prove they considered it the Word of God (Scripture). By the time that the ancient grand codices were made (circa 4th Century AD), the inclusion of works in the single binding does not prove what the original LXX contained at all. In the NT there are no references to any book of the apocrypha as "scripture," nor is it ever quoted as an authority to settle a debate (with such formula as, "It is written!"). Thus I have added the alternative designation of apocrypha for NPOV. And I have deleted the term "Old Testament" where the contents of the LXX are mentioned.

Moreover, I have improved the article by rewording interpretations & opinions as opinions, instead of fact. No one can prove that there was some such continual interpretation since Barnabas, undisputed, held every year by someone somewhere throughout history. Also, I have revised claims to how Christians in general have interpreted some passage; since the generalization about Christians is wrong. Most Christians never heard of these theories. I am a Christian graduate of Bible College, Seminary, & University (e.g., Faculty of Theology in a British University), and I never ever heard this before. And these sorts of statements are of the type very likely to be disputed by various scholars. This article must not read as an exercise in apologetics by a Roman Catholic apologist supporting his POV that the apocrypha is canonical, even if deuterocanonical. EnochBethany (talk) 18:50, 5 May 2013 (UTC))

Anyone know of the quote below?
A person I know told me the quote below, or something like it... is from the Book of Wisdom of Solomon

"When you lack the confidence to rely on reason, you give into the fears cause by ignorance."

Your assistance is appreciated. G. Love — Preceding unsigned comment added by Glendaglove (talk • contribs) 03:16, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Unsupported non-sequitur removed
To justify why I am removing the following text from the article:

''King Josiah was king in Israel; he built (repaired) the temple;[4] like Ezra who came after him he preached the law of the Lord to the kahal, the assembly of the people;[5] and he is praised as being greater and wiser than any king who came before him,[6] greater and wiser than Solomon who sinned. The praise of Josiah's wisdom parallels the words found in Ecclesiastes I:16, "Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem..." ''

This comes in the middle of a paragraph. From an editorial standpoint it makes no sense. There is no transition in the paragraph which posits that King Josiah may have been the author of Sirach or Ecclesiastes. Nor is any primary scholarly source cited that proposes such a theory. At best, this is original research, but it's actually worse than that. Not one of the three biblical sources cited (Kings, Chronicles, Sirach) actually say that Josiah is greater than any king who came before him, or that he was greater and WISER than Solomon! The verses in Kings clearly indicate that no other king repented with such a full heart as Josiah did.

Thus, I am deleting all the offending text. 68.198.65.141 (talk) 02:48, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Good catch. This piqued my curiosity. I tracked down the edit that added that material on May 18, 2013. It was added last year by User:Espresso-con-pana who was blocked indefinitely on October 1, 2014 as a sockpuppet of the previously indefinitely blocked contentious user User:Michael Paul Heart. He appears to have pushed fringe theories and texts and to have inserted original research into articles as well as using sockpuppets to support his viewpoint or to add material so it would not be attributed to his main account. The insertion here was clearly not based on reliable and verifiable secondary sources or scholarship and was either point of view pushing or an effort to mess up the article in response to the blocking of Heart's main account. It shows how subtle these problems can be and how often only some diligent person with initiative can spot the error and correct it. Donner60 (talk) 02:53, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

"Some opine that the Gospel of Matthew may contain allusions to the Wisdom of Solomon in the structuring of Matthew's Passion Narrative." Who? Cite your sources, please. Mike Grigsby-Lane — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.76.9.171 (talk) 17:19, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Not in the Good News Bible.
Just noting that this book is not included in the Good News Bible, so a great many Christians are unaware of its existence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.147.135.3 (talk) 11:55, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

one of the wisdom of his exllency the wisdom of engaging with each other avite

Capitalized use of word 'Wisdom' in opening section
Reading the article, I'm a little thrown off by the three instances of the word 'wisdom' in the opening section. Reference these three sentences:

 * Generally dated to the mid-first century BC, the central theme of the work is "Wisdom" itself, appearing under two principal aspects.
 * In its relation to man, Wisdom is the perfection of knowledge of the righteous as a gift from God showing itself in action.
 * In direct relation to God, Wisdom is with God from all eternity.''

Why are these capitalized? Throughout the rest of the article, the word 'wisdom' is only capitalized when it's referring to the Book of Wisdom itself (or other proper name references, such as one to Lady Wisdom), and lowercased when talking about regular, everyday wisdom. I'm thinking the above examples should not be capitalized? CaptainAngus (talk) 00:40, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * You're right! Corrected. Rafaelosornio (talk) 03:29, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Altea

Altea is a city and municipality located in the Valencian Community, Spain, on the section of Mediterranean coast called the Costa Blanca.

At present, the economy of Altea is based on tourism, which started to grow in the 1950s because of its good weather, beaches and the labyrinthine streets with whitewashed house-fronts that characterize the town. Altea is protected on the north by the bluffs of the Serra de Bèrnia, creating an especially mild microclimate. Its seafront esplanade is planted with palms.

Russian elite lives in Altea Hills.

History
The Iberian coastal settlements at the mouth of the Algar river in the wide Bay of Altea were later joined by a Greek marketplace, named Althaia.

During the Moorish domination the land around Altea belonged to the Taifa of Dénia until it was recaptured by the Christians in 1244 under James I of Aragon. The town was quickly fortified, and walls were erected to enclose what is now known as the "old town" outsiders.

Main sights
This maze of cobbled narrow and crooked streets with glimpses of the bay is one of the better features of the town. Other sights include the church of La Mare de Déu del Consol ("Our Lady of Solace"), easily identifiable by its picturesque blue and white domes, tiled with glazed ceramics. There are numerous quaint restaurants near the church, some with a view over the Mediterranean. Note that, if visiting by car, you will need to park several blocks away from the church area as the immediately surrounding area is either off limits to cars and/or the streets are so narrow and steep (or have stairs) that cars cannot pass.

Education
Altea shares a campus of the University Miguel Hernández, in which the Faculty of Fine Arts is located.

Castell de l'Olla
The most important and well-known festival in Altea is the Castell de l'Olla, a festival of fireworks that are launched into the sea, on the beach of l'Olla, giving rise to an impressive combination of light, gunpowder and music. In the Valencian language, this type of fireworks is called Castell (Castle). It takes place on the Saturday closest to the day of St. Lawrence, the 10th of August. The spectacle usually includes a golden-palm-tree-firework rising into the night sky. The event began as a tribute to local pyrotechnician Blas Aznar (locally known as tio Blai). The fireworks display is a gesture of utmost respect to this man, a way of honouring his memory, and of giving all spectators the gift of miraculous beauty. More than 50,000 people come every year to enjoy the spectacle, some sitting on the beach, others floating in rented boats to get a better view.

Moros y cristianos
Every year, many Spanish cities participate in a symbolic war between Moors and Christians to commemorate the 500 years of Muslim dominance over most of the Iberian Peninsula and its end in the 15th century in the course of the Reconquista. The festival lasts several days, and is supposed to represent the fall of the city into the hands of the Moors and its recovery. On the fourth weekend in September, Friday, the festival begins with a peal of bells and a cannon fire. The inhabitants of the town divide into groups, as the two sides in the conflict, and stage battles in the old town and on the beach. In addition to the battles, the festival includes parades in costumes and dress inspired by the fashions of medieval times. The Christians are on horseback and wear furs, metal helmets, armour and arquebuses. In contrast, those who become Moors for the weekend ride camels or elephants and wear ancient Arab costumes.

Pascua
In Pascua (spanish word for Easter), the inhabitants of Altea hold solemn, somewhat macabre processions throughout the town during the Holy Week, which have a vivid dramatic flair to them. There is also a carnival beforehand, traditionally and symbolically representing the last chance to have some fun before Lent begins.

Sant Antoni del Porquet
During Lent, Altea has a special festival dedicated to pork. Pork is very present in Spanish cuisine, with traditional hams, suckling pigs in celebratory meals and pig's tails or pig's trotters for stews. Nothing is wasted, every part of the animal is used. This festival takes place in mid-February, and consists of a parade through the old town at midday, after which everyone shares a hearty plate of rice, sings folk songs and dances, and finally tastes a roast pig.

Encontes
The Encontes festival is a celebration of the ancient art of storytelling. It is held from 15 to 20 May. Dozens of events are organised to entertain the visitors with stories and songs. This festival is aimed at all audiences.

Twin towns - sister cities
Altea is a founding member of the Douzelage, a unique town twinning association of 24 towns across the European Union. This active town twinning began in 1991 and there are regular events, such as a produce market from each of the other countries and festivals. Discussions regarding membership are also in hand with three further towns (Agros in Cyprus, Škofja Loka in Slovenia, and Tryavna in Bulgaria).
