Charles Lafayette Todd

Charles Lafayette "Lafe" Todd (December 9, 1911 – August 4, 2004) was an American folklorist.

He was born in rural western New York State. As an undergraduate studying English literature at Hamilton College, he developed an interest in the Elizabethan ballad. In the late 1930s, while doing graduate work at Columbia University in New York City, Todd lived in Greenwich Village, where he frequented the Village Vanguard, a local night spot. Here he made the acquaintance of Alan Lomax (who later facilitated the Archive of American Folk Song's support of the Todd/Sonkin collecting expedition), along with other notables of the day such as Woody Guthrie, Huddie Ledbetter (better known as "Leadbelly"), Burl Ives, John Jacob Niles, and Frank M. Warner.

During the same period, Todd met Robert Sonkin. They were both working in the Department of Public Speaking at the City College of New York, where Todd taught for three years. They undertook their documentation in the California FSA camps during their summer vacations in 1940 and 1941. In addition to the ethnographic research Todd did with Sonkin in California, he also documented folk music in upstate New York and parts of New Jersey. In 1942, he returned to California and worked as associate manager of the Tulare Migrant Camp in Visalia. During his tenure at Tulare many of the men in camp left to assist in the war effort, either by working in the San Francisco shipyards or by joining the military. He was later drafted into the army and went to work as a public relations officer.

After the end of World War II, Todd continued his career in public relations, including a stint with the State Department doing Cold War broadcasts to Iron Curtain countries. He later went on to become president of an international public relations firm in New York. Ultimately, he became head of the Speech and Communications Department at his alma mater, Hamilton College. Todd and Sonkin once again undertook a collaborative project during this period, which resulted in a book titled Alexander Bryan Johnson: Philosophical Banker, published in 1977.

Todd and his wife, Clare, retired to Vero Beach, Florida.

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was delete. Joyous 02:51, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)

BS143
Nothing but a dicdef, and one that probably could be lumped in on the British Standard page, or a page about power cables. ral315 19:17, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)

I saw the BS143 in a wiring document, and wanted to know what it was -- surely wikipedia can do that sort of thing? (BS 4343 and BS 1363 are similar devices with full pages) Putting it on British Standard page would be like putting BS 6008 on the British Standard page

Delete - blatantly incorrect definition. Ojw 19:43, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. BS143 is about pipe fittings, not low-voltage cables, see this product catalog and there are several other similar available via Google. But what puzzles me a bit is that the now unsigned comment above, justifying the article, is by User:Ojw too, who is also the article's author, and has now voted to delete the page. Curious. Andrewa 09:29, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Not so much "unsigned" as "expanded to include the following paragraph" - sorry for any confusion. Anyway if we can define it, then wikipedia is a reference guide, and it would be nice to find out what such things are by searching on wikipedia (the alternative being a big payment to look at the standard) - if something claims to be a "standard" surely it belongs in wikipedia, same as the hundreds of pages we have for web standards?  If we can't define it, then that's where my delete vote came from - it's incorrect as it stands, so if it can't be corrected then delete. Maybe we could add a topic on the helpdesk to see if anyone knows the detaiils (or lives close to a BS library) Ojw 20:33, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Nutmegger

Nutmegger is a nickname for people from the US state of Connecticut. The official nickname for Connecticut is "The Constitution State", as voted in 1958 by the Connecticut state legislature; however, "The Nutmeg State" is an unofficial nickname for the state, hence the nickname "Nutmegger".

The origin of the appellation is unknown. One theory is that it comes from Yankee peddlers selling nutmegs in colonial times. These nutmegs may have been the real thing, i.e., the hard aromatic seed of the nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans), an East Indian evergreen tree, or counterfeit wooden nutmegs; or, as has been suggested, they were the real thing but customers unfamiliar with the native form of the spice might have decided they had been sold a counterfeit after futilely trying to grind the unusually hard seed.

A popular newspaper column in the 1830s was "The Sayings and Doings of Samuel Slick, of Slickville", which has often been cited as the source of this legend. The original story was:

"... that eternal scoundrel, that Captain John Allspice of Nahant, he used to trade to Charleston, and he carried a cargo once there of fifty barrels of nutmegs: well, he put half a bushel of good ones into each end of the barrel, and the rest he filled up with wooden ones, so like the real thing, no soul could tell the difference until HE BIT ONE WITH HIS TEETH, and that he never thought of doing, until he was first BIT HIMSELF. Well, it's been a standing joke with them southerners agin us ever since."

Brian Perkins

Brian Perkins (born 11 September 1943 in Wanganui, New Zealand) is a former senior newsreader on BBC Radio 4.

Career
He first started working in 1962 in Christchurch on radio stations of the New Zealand Broadcasting Service (NZBS), and its successor, the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation (NZBC). He worked on 3YA, 3YC and sometimes on 3ZB, and in those days all the work was continuity functions. When he came to Wellington at the end of 1962 he started reading the news both on television and on radio. The NZBC introduced him to many forms of radio including compiling programmes, commentary and other functions.

In 1965 he moved to London, and obtained a role announcing and newsreading for the BBC.

A keen musician, he began by learning the cello and changed to a double bass. While in London he attended the Guildhall School of Music. In 1969 he went back to New Zealand to play the double bass with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Nine years later he returned to Britain to work exclusively for BBC Radio 4, although he also appeared on Noel Edmonds's Sunday morning show on BBC Radio 1 in the early 1980s, and again in a one-off revival of that show in 1992. He retired from the BBC in 2003 on reaching the age of 60.

He specialised in presenting the news in a clear and concise way. In 2006, he was voted the third most popular voice on British radio.

Post-retirement
After his retirement, he continued to work as a newsreader on Radio 4, but in a freelance capacity, and also provided formal readings for the comedy programme The News Quiz. Since 1 July 2015, he has been a contributor to the online radio station www.positivelyroyal.com, founded by Noel Edmonds as part of the "Positively" family of online radio stations.

"The Godfather of Radio 4"
Since 2000, radio and television comedy impressions show Dead Ringers has had a running joke depicting Brian Perkins as the "Godfather of Radio 4", played on the show by impressionist Jon Culshaw. His imitation often refers to himself as "Big Daddy Perkins" and frequently badmouths BBC colleagues, hinting that he's given out various punishment beatings to those who had earned his ire. In one sketch, the Dead Ringers Brian telephoned the real Brian, accusing him of not being hard enough. The real Brian riposted with a claim that he'd put Peter Donaldson's feet in concrete and thrown him into a canal. In the 2007 Ten Years of Blair special of Dead Ringers, Perkins was portrayed as the Godfather of not only the BBC but the entire nation, acting as the British head of state. Brian and Jon later appeared together on the BBC Radio 4 panel game Wireless Wise. Taking it one step further, humourist Danny Wallace refers to Perkins as a God in his 2006 travelogue Yes Man.

Welcome to Wikipedia - I am sure some admin will also welcome you too with some good links - if not add a comment to my talk page and I will copy and paste some good ones together.

If someone else hasn't mentioned it - although the User pages are on the the main encyclopedia, they are limited by being in a different "namespace" that is not included in normal article titles when someone searches but makes for quick links and access to the user pages and talk. The format is basically namespace:Title instead of Title so for users it is User:Orthoseeker and User_talk:Orthoseeker which become User:Orthoseeker and User_talk:Trödel.

Bouncing Boy

Bouncing Boy (Chuck Taine) is a superhero appearing in American comic books by DC Comics, usually as a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Born on Earth, Bouncing Boy has the power to inflate like a giant ball and bounce around. This combination of invulnerability and velocity makes him a surprisingly useful combatant. Born without any powers, he received his abilities from a super-plastic formula he believed was soda. Bouncing Boy is known for sharing a long-term romantic relationship with fellow Legionnaire Triplicate Girl, whom he eventually marries. In reboot Legion continuity, he is the Legion's mechanic.

Publication history
Bouncing Boy first appeared in Action Comics #276 (May 1961) and was created by Jerry Siegel and Jim Mooney. His addition to the Legion of Super-Heroes reflected Siegel's interest in comedy and provided a vehicle for humor.

Silver Age
Chuck Taine was born on Earth with no powers. He received his ability to inflate when he accidentally drank a super plastic formula which he thought was soda pop. He applied for membership in the Legion of Super-Heroes, but was at first rejected. After he used his new power to defeat a robber using electric weaponry (which did not affect him because his bouncing kept him from being grounded), he was admitted and took the codename Bouncing Boy. With his good humor, wit and charm, Taine appointed himself the Legion's "Morale Officer".

Bouncing Boy once lost his powers while bouncing in front of a matter-shrinking machine, and was forced to resign from the Legion. He regained his powers again temporarily when the Legion faced Computo for the first time, and one of fellow Legionnaire Triplicate Girl's bodies was killed. His powers left him again for a short period of time but were restored once more by Dr. Zan Orbal of Evillo's Devil's Dozen, where he happily rejoined the team.

Bouncing Boy became a teacher at the Legion Academy, and had a solo victory against The Hunter. This boosted Chuck's confidence, and after once again losing his powers, he proposed to Triplicate Girl (now known as Duo Damsel). The two quickly married on Mars at Nix Olympia (Superboy #200 ) and both retired from the Legion because of the rule that Legionnaires could not be married. That rule was later overturned, but the couple decided to remain as Legion reserves. Once again, Bouncing Boy's powers returned and the Duo Damsel settled on the colony world of Wondil IX. After helping the Legion on a few occasional missions, the pair returned to Earth to become the headmasters of the Legion Academy. They later went on to found the second Legion of Substitute Heroes alongside reservists Cosmic Boy and Night Girl.

In the post-Zero Hour continuity, Chuck was identified as Charles Foster Taine and acted as the Legion's resident architect and engineer. He did not possess bouncing powers in this continuity and was only an honorary member of the Legion. As a maintenance man, he once built a specialty vehicle called the "Bouncing Boy" which acted as a bouncing juggernaut, smashing everything in its way.

The post-Infinite Crisis version of Bouncing Boy appeared in Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds. Missing in action during most of the miniseries, he and his wife, now known as Duplicate Damsel, finally make an appearance in the final issue to help end the battle against the antagonists and then rejoin the Legion.

Reboot / Earth-247
On Earth-247, Chuck Taine never gained super powers, but was a valuable ally of the Legion. His parents had been killed by Daxamite terrorists during an attack on Earth and with their life insurance money, he was able to put himself through school to become an architect. He designed and helped rebuild the Legion Headquarters after it took damage from Chronos. At one point Chuck helped repel Protean invaders and was around the Legion full-time, repairing Brainiac 5's laboratory and other structural damage. He became close friends with fellow Legion staffer Tenzil Kem, had a crush on Triad, and once went on a friendly date with Shrinking Violet. Chuck remained on the Legion staff, and eventually designed the Legion Outpost, an orbiting space station.

Retroboot / New Earth
"Infinite Crisis" restored a close analogue of the original Legion to continuity, shortly after the Magic Wars. Chuck is once more an instructor alongside his wife Luornu at the Legion Academy and a Legion reservist. After his wife's second body was killed, this time, she developed the power to duplicate an unlimited number of copies of herself. They discovered this ability while the Taines were on their third honeymoon and then quickly came running when the team sent out a distress call for help against Superboy-Prime and his Legion of Super-Villains. Bouncing Boy is currently helping to train the next class of students at Legion Academy.

In the Watchmen sequel "Doomsday Clock", Bouncing Boy is among the Legion of Super-Heroes members that appear in the present after Doctor Manhattan undid the experiment that erased the Legion of Super-Heroes and the Justice Society of America.

Notable story arcs
When the Legion was disbanded following the Blight invasion of Earth, Chuck stayed with a small team of covert Legionnaires led by Cosmic Boy. With the Legion's benefactor, R. J. Brande, Chuck helped with the construction of a new secret headquarters, known as Legion World. Chuck was given an honorary membership and built a ship called the Bouncing Boy that could ram other objects without taking structural damage. Chuck was given the job of Chief Engineer of Legion World and worked frequently with the cyborg Legionnaire, Gear. He was originally seen as being sent into the time-stream with the rest of the Legion shortly before Earth-247 was destroyed, but didn't re-surface during the Legion of Three Worlds event.

Powers and abilities
Bouncing Boy has the ability to expand his body into a spherical form, which provides him with bouncing capabilities. In this normal form, Bouncing Boy is overweight, but when he "inflates", his mass and height remain the same size, while these overall dimensions increase into resembling that of a human-sized ball. Whether his body actually inflates—as in, takes in air—or his individual cells expand, which decreases his overall density, is not explained. When he utilizes his own body, it becomes extremely rubbery and elastic, allowing him to bounce off surfaces with great force. Originally, thought of as a useless power by his Legionnaire peers, he have demonstrated many times that he can use its shape and rubber-like consistency as an effective ballistic weapon. His "go-to" move was to ricochet back and forth up on surrounding walls, even when bowling over the opponents. This also provides him with a limited degree of invulnerability and resistant to electric shocks. Unlike an inanimate rubber ball, that will slowly lose its kinetic energy due to friction and gravity, Bouncing Boy maintains his velocity as he bounces about.

Bouncing Boy lost his powers for a short period of time after he accidentally bounced into the matter-shrinking facility. This caused Chuck to lose them, which resulted in him being stepped down from the Legion of Super-Heroes. He later regained these abilities after the original formula was recreated for him. He then rejoined the team.

Eight years later, he lost his powers again for no apparent reason. He resigned once more and married Duo Damsel. He again regained these abilities.

Chuck Taine of Earth-247 has no powers, but is a gifted engineer and architect. He built and pilots his own spaceship known as the Bouncing Boy.

Equipment
As a Legion of Super-Heroes member, Bouncing Boy possesses his own Legion Flight Ring. It gives him the ability to fly, its speed and range of which is determined by his willpower. It also acts as a long-range communicator (enabling constant vocal contact with other Legionnaires, even across vast distances of space), signal device, and navigational compass, all powered by its micro-computer built inside the ring.

Talk:High treason in the United Kingdom

Nation specific?
This article deals almost exclusively with High Treason as defined in the United Kingdom through history and today. For instance the whole paragraph on Punishment deals entirely with how the English/GBR penal code was through history, while High Treason is defined in many other texts of law around the world. To take one famous example, Vidkun Quisling was convicted of High Treason. In Norway. And I assume there have been more convictions around the world since 1946 when the "last execution of any kind for high treason" was carried out.

Anyone willing to work on this article to make it less nation-specific?

There is a seperate Treason article. Richard75 02:52, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The point is that "high treason" is an English expression.--Jack Upland 06:53, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

 * No, the point is that this page is called high treason in the United Kingdom. That means this is therefore the article for discussing the United Kingdom. If you want an international perspective then look to the articles on high treason and treason. This is not the page for discussing Norway.Richard75 16:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Life imprisonment during peacetime only?
At the top, it is stated "Today, however, cases of treason are rare; the maximum punishment, during peacetime, is life imprisonment.", however down near the bottom it said " Since 1998, the maximum punishment for high treason became life imprisonment." Either life imprisonment is the maximum sentence during peacetime only or all the time. I guessed the former is correct but if not, remove references to during peacetime for the current situation... Nil Einne 18:15, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * also if it is during peactime only, it needs to be clarified at the bottom what's the maximum during wartime (I guess death) Nil Einne 18:18, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

It's the same penalty in peace and wartime. I have amended the article accordingly. See also Human Rights Act 1998. Richard75 18:08, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Lady Jane Grey
I may be wrong, but strictly speaking wasn't Lady Jane Grey's treason that of denying the right of Parliament to settle the succession, rather than usurpation per se? Silverhelm 17:19, 14 June 2006 (UTC).

Last trial in 1946?
Surely Marcus Sarjeant, who was tried under the Treason Act 1842, in 1981 would be the most recent example of high treason, since he was charged under Section 2, for "wilfully discharging a revolver near the person of the Queen with intent to alarm her"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.166.17.187 (talk) 23:33, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

No, because that offence is not treason. See Treason Act 1842. It is called the Treason Act because of section 1, now repealed. Richard75 (talk) 23:39, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

What is "constructive treason"?
From the article:

 * Treason (including constructive treason) is a reserved matter on which the Scottish Parliament cannot legislate.

There is no explanation anywhere of what "constructive treason" might be; I certainly don't know! Loganberry (Talk) 16:19, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

It means that the Treason Act 1351 has, by a process of 'jucicial construction', been held to make treason certain acts which would not be treason under that Act if you interpreted it literally. So for example, the expression 'levying war against the King in his realm' in that Act has been held to include a riot or insurrection for the purpose of effecting a public innovation, such as forcing the Government to change its policy, effecting an alteration in the law, opening all prisons (but not a particular prison), or (and this is an actual case) pulling down all protestant meeting houses (but not a particular one).

'Constructive treason' is a collective term for all of the offences that judges, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, decided were treason under the Treason Act 1351 by, for the want of a better description, twisting its words (perhaps the word 'twisting' is too strong).

I hope that this explanation is reasonably intelligle, though I fear it might not be. James500 (talk) 18:17, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

 * See constructive treason. Richard75 (talk) 21:08, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Acts in Force today: Treason Act 1945
The Treason Act 1945 is listed by the Chronological Table of Statutes (2007) as being in force (short title in bold type). In particular, section 3 appears to still be in force in England and Wales because the 1967 Act only repealed ss. 1 & 2 and Sch. I appreciate that the Act seems to be completely spent, and I can't understand why CLA 1967 only partially repealed it, but I do not think that it is accurate to omit it from the list if it has not been wholly repealed. James500 (talk) 15:00, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Although that seems to be true, all that seems to be left is the short title, and one spent subsection, so while it may not have actually been repealed, it is hard to say that it is still "in force," in the sense that it no longer seems to affect the law. It is not listed on the Statute Law Database. If you still want to add it anyway, better note that it is entirely repealed in Scotland (Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1980). Richard75 (talk) 23:14, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Not to list it would create the impression that it has been repealed, so I am going to add a sublist. James500 (talk) 20:06, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Dubious
Act of Supremacy (Ireland) This situation is a bit confusing. The Victorian legislation decriminalised breaches of the Act of Supremacy, without amending the text of the Act. But then the 1998 Act amended the text to substitute life imprisonment for the death penalty. This is probably an oversight by the Parliamentary researchers, but it might nevertheless have had the effect of reviving the offence. I'm not sure what the article should say now though, since we need to avoid POV and OR. Any ideas? Richard75 (talk) 23:40, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

If you are interested, the repeal of the Treason Act 1795 may also be a mistake, as it was certainly not consequential on the abolition of the death penalty. See House of Lords Hansard at the bottom of the page here James500 (talk) 16:48, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Penalty
To change the reference may not be strictly accurate. Section 36 of the 1998 Act does not provide the penalty for treason, which is what the reference now implies. What it does is to amend other Acts which in turn provide the penalty for treason. In Halsbury, they set out the Acts that provide the penalty for England and Wales in full.

And the present text does not acknowledge section V of the 1708 Act which is what (in conjunction with the 1814 Act, which only applies to "all cases where the penalty is currently X") is what actually provides the penalty in Scotland, and isn't mentioned in the 1998 Act. James500 (talk) 16:45, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

 * What I meant is that a reference is only needed to verify that the paragraph is accurate, it doesn't need to set out every section which provides for the new penalty. However I agree that the new reference is misleading as it implies that section 36 says something it doesn't, so I will add some clarification. All I was trying to do was avoid having an unwieldy large set of references. Richard75 (talk) 17:02, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I feel that the article was better the way that it was, although perhaps the list of references could be combined into a single footnote. I feel that there is a value in setting out the enactments which presently provide the penalty, somewhere (because it obviates the need for further research on the part of readers; and if I am reading an article, I don't want to be sent to look at a statute which I then have to decipher).

It would be more accurate to say that "the penalty is provided by the several enactments amended by section 36 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, and section V of the Treason Act 1708".James500 (talk) 17:59, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Do that then. Richard75 (talk) 21:03, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Audit trail of 'an intention to undermine their authority, or the attempt to do so'.
'Under the law of the United Kingdom, high treason is the crime of disloyalty to the sovereign amounting to an intention to undermine their authority, or the attempt to do so.'

Can anyone tell me the Audit trail of 'an intention to undermine their authority, or the attempt to do so'.

I have Halsbury Rules of England but cannot quite match this up.

I am currently claiming treason against the Judiciary in the UK Civil Courts on the grounds that alleged continual unconstitutional decisions by the courts, particularly a failure to give adequate reasons, amount to undermining the constitution = undermining the authority of the Sovereign.

86.132.153.227 (talk) 10:41, 1 October 2010 (UTC))

 * It's not really accurate. There is not actually one crime of treason but several, listed in detail further down the article, which are collectively known as "treason." The first sentence of this article was somebody's attempt to summarise what treason is, but not very successfully and it seems to have caused some confusion. I have edited the sentence to cut that phrase out. What you need to do to find out what is or is not treason is look at the "Offences" section of the article. However Wikipedia is not really the place to get legal advice from. Richard75 (talk) 13:49, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for responding. I agree there are several crimes of treason. They were summarised but I didn't find them confusing. Just to remove the bit about 'amounting to an intention to undermine their authority or he attempt to do so' makes it worse in my opinion. The "Offences" section is incomplete. It is clear from Halsbury's Laws of England that to attempt to destroy the Constitution is treason. That is close to what was there before because the "authority" is the constitution, it appears to me. That crime is much more useful these days, with the general eroding of our rights, than planning to kill the sovereign, etc. I am not on Wikipedia for legal advice but for information. I hope the original poster gets back to explain, and the site rectified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.153.23.90 (talk) 13:54, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Page move
This page was recently moved to "Treason in the United Kingdom," on the ground that we no longer need to call it high treason since that is now the only form of treason that exists. I acknowledge that modern legislation just refers to it as treason. However I have moved the page back to "High treason in the UK" because: 1) the article does not just deal with the modern offence, but is also an account of the development of the offence since 1351, and 2) the article does not deal with petit treason (except very briefly and with a link to that article), and so calling the article Treason etc might mislead the reader into thinking the article dealt with the entire subject. I have added a sentence to explain that high treason is often just called treason today. I did consider merging the petit treason article into this one, but decided not to because other common law countries had that offence too. I hope all these reasons make sense. Richard75 (talk) 12:49, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * "I have added a sentence to explain that high treason is often just called treason today." The point is that there is no offence of high treason currently known to English law. We would not deal with the contemporary offence of theft under an article entitled larceny! Unsigned comment left by ITSB351 at 15:19 on 19 January 2012.
 * As a matter of fact there is. The Treason Act 1702 still describes this offence as high treason (current text of the Act here.) It was never officially renamed (unlike larceny). Richard75 (talk) 20:44, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Al-Rifa'i Mosque

Al-Rifa'i Mosque (مسجد الرفاعي, transliterated also as Al-Rifai, Al-Refai, Al-Refa'i, locally known as El-Refa'i, and in English: the Refaai Mosque) is located in Citadel Square, adjacent to the Cairo Citadel. Its name is derived from the Ali Abu Shubbak who is buried in the mosque. Now, it is also the royal mausoleum of Muhammad Ali's family. The building is located opposite the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan, which dates from around 1361, and was architecturally conceived as a complement to the older structure as part of a vast campaign by the 19th century rulers of Egypt to both associate themselves with the perceived glory of earlier periods in Egypt's Islamic history and modernize the city.

History
The original structure on the site was a small 12th century Fatimid-era mosque, known as the Al-Dakhirah Mosque. But later, the grandson of Ahmad al-Rifa'i, Ali Abu Shubbak al-Rifa'i, was buried within it, and the place was converted into a Zawiya for the Rifa'i tariqah. This Zawiya became known as the Al-Bayda Zawiya, and it not only contained the tomb of Ali Abu Shubbak, but also included the tomb of another Sufi mystic, Yahya al-Ansari.

The present structure of the Al-Rifa'i Mosque was constructed in two phases over the period between 1869 and 1912 when it was finally completed. It was originally commissioned for Hoshiyar Qadin, the mother of the 19th century Khedive Isma'il Pasha to expand and replace the old Zawiya. Hoshiyar ordered an extensive renovation of the zawiya, and so the original structure save for the graves of Ali Abu Shubbak and Yahya al-Ansari was demolished. The new structure was also intended to contain the burial place of the Khedive family.

The original architect was Hussein Fahri Pasha, a distant cousin in the dynasty founded by Muhammad Ali of Egypt in 1803, but he died during the first phase of construction, and work was halted after the abdication of Khedive Isma'il Pasha in 1880. Hoshiyar Qadin herself died in 1885, and work was not resumed until 1905 when the new Khedive, Abbas II of Egypt, ordered its completion. Construction work was supervised by the Hungarian architect Max Herz, head of the Committee for the Conservation of the Monuments of Cairo.

Style
When developing its design, the architects of Al-Rifai Mosque tried to match the Sultan Hassan Mosque next to it in grandeur and height even though they faced some difficulties that were criticized by archaeologists and which was remedied under the supervision of Max Herz.

The interior area of the mosque is 6,500 square metres, the part designated for prayer is 1,767 square metres, and the rest of the space is allocated for the zawiya shrine and the royal mausoleum. The mosque has two minarets built on circular bases, like the minarets of the Sultan Hassan Mosque. As for the entrances, they are towering and surrounded by stone and marble columns with Arabic capitals. Their lintels are decorated with marble, and their tops also covered with polished and gilded arches.

In the middle of the western side is the entrance to the royal mausoleum, which is surrounded by stone columns with ornate marble bases. To the right of the interior of this mausoleum is the tomb of Fuad I of Egypt in the western front corner of the mosque. It is covered with colored marble, and adjacent to it is the tomb of his mother, Ferial Qadin. At the end of the room, there is a door, which leads to another room that contains the tomb of Sheikh Ali Abu Shubbak Al-Rifa'i. This room is topped by a dome. The grave is covered by a wooden zarih built around it. Between the two front doors is a smaller entrance leading to a room which holds the grave of Yahya Al-Ansari.

Usage
The mosque is the resting place of Ali Abu Shubbak, an important saint of the Rifa'i order who is also regarded as one of the Ahl al-Bayt, hence it is a very important place for pilgrimage.

It also contains the royal mausoleum of the Khedive family, where Hoshiyar Qadim and her son Ismail Pasha, as well as other members of Egypt's royal family, including Sultan Hussein Kamel, Sultan and King Fuad I, and King Farouk, are buried. Khedive Tewfik and Khedive Abbas II Hilmi, however, are buried in Qubbat Afandina, a mausoleum built in 1894 in Cairo's Eastern Cemetery, together with other late members of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty.

The mosque served briefly as the resting place of Reza Shah of Iran, who died in exile in the Union of South Africa in 1944, and was returned to Iran after World War II. Part of the burial chamber is also occupied by Reza Shah's son Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who died in Cairo in July 1980. He was buried in Cairo following the Iranian Revolution of 1979.

Robert Sonkin

Robert Sonkin (1910–1980) was an American scholar of speech, language, and music.

Life
Sonkin was born into an Orthodox Jewish family in the Bronx, New York, on December 25, 1910. Sonkin, who held degrees from City College (CCNY) (now the City College of the City University of New York [CUNY]) and Columbia University, founded the speech clinic at City College. He met Charles L. Todd while they were both working in the Department of Public Speaking at City College in the late 1930s. In addition to doing ethnographic research with Todd in California, Sonkin also documented the African American community of the town of Gee's Bend, Alabama, where other Farm Security Administration (FSA) work was being carried out. After the onset of World War II, Sonkin participated in an Archive of American Folk Song-sponsored project to document the man-in-the-street's opinion of the war effort. Like Todd, Sonkin was drafted into the military during World War II, where he served in the Army Signal Corps.

At the end of the war, Sonkin returned to City College and became professor of speech. In 1977, collaborators Todd and Sonkin jointly published a biography of Alexander Bryan Johnson.

Sonkin retired from CUNY in 1976 and became professor emeritus. He died May 26, 1980, at the age of sixty-nine.

Fulham Palace

Fulham Palace, in Fulham, London, previously in the former English county of Middlesex, is a Grade I listed building with medieval origins and was formerly the principal residence of the Bishop of London. The site was the country home of the bishops from the 11th century until 1973. Though still owned by the Church of England, the palace, managed by the Fulham Palace Trust (registered charity 1140088), houses a number of restored historic rooms and a museum documenting its long history. The property resides next to Bishops Park and contains a large botanic garden. The palace garden is ranked Grade II* on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

The palace is open daily and is free to visit. According to figures released by the Fulham Palace Trust, over 390,000 people visited Fulham Palace in 2015/2016.

Origins
Prehistoric (6000 BC–AD 43)

Evidence of prehistoric activity dating from the late Mesolithic and early Neolithic age was uncovered by various archaeological investigations undertaken since the early 1970s, depicting the use of struck flint. The site appears to have been an isolated eyot within the braided river channel of the River Thames. Later prehistoric activity dating to the Bronze Age, was revealed in the form of a possible barrow, whilst there is limited evidence for a late Iron Age occupation.

Roman period (AD 43–AD 410)

After a period of abandonment, the site was reoccupied during the late Roman period. Much of the material retrieved is domestic in origin and appears to suggest a small agricultural community was established on the banks of the Thames. It may have taken the form of a villa on this site or approximate to the neighbouring All Saints Church.

Saxon period (AD 410–1066)

There is little evidence of Saxon activity on the Fulham Palace site, although some sherds of early Saxon pottery have been recovered. The Manor of Fulham was acquired by Bishop Waldhere from Bishop Tyrhtel in AD 704. It stretched from modern-day Chiswick in the west to Chelsea on the east; and from Harlesden in the northwest and Kensal Green in the northeast.

Medieval period (1066–1485)

The earliest evidence of Medieval life at Fulham Palace was a hearth that dates to around 1080, probably belonging to the Saxo-Norman Manor. The first historical reference to a Bishop of London residing at Fulham Palace arose when Robert de Sigello (Bishop of London) was held captive at Fulham Palace during The Anarchy. The Medieval Palace was established around what is now the Palace's eastern courtyard. The first reference to the Palace's chapel at this time was from 1231. Plans drawn up by Stiff Leadbetter prior to the redevelopment of the site in the late 18th century locate the chapel and its associated buildings beneath much of the 18th-century structure that still stands today. Although various fragments of stonework associated with the chapel have been uncovered, its form remains elusive, only one Parliamentary Survey, undertaken by William Dickes during the Civil War in 1647, described it.

At some point between 1439 and 1440, Henry VI and his entourage visited. Following his departure, it would take four days for the rooms and halls to be cleaned. Shortly after, a shingle board was taken from the Fulham Church to cover and repair the palace hall roof, and palings (fence posts) were mended between the 'house husbandry (farming area), great garden, and vyne garden.' A new bucket was also purchased for the well at the cost of 6d. The well is understood to have been built in 1426. Further buildings alluded to include a larder, a hayloft, and a stable.

Tudor period (1485–1603)

Substantial alterations were made to the Palace during the late 15th century, a period that witnessed the construction of the current great hall and the Tudor Courtyard, which still stands today. It is assumed that the development was undertaken by either Bishop Thomas Kempe c. 1480 or Bishop Richard FitzJames (1506-1522), principally because FitzJames' coat of arms appears on the south side of the Tudor court buildings. In addition, analysis of the timbers within the great hall roof suggests that the oak used was felled in the spring of 1493, whilst the gate to the Tudor arched entrance contains timber felled in the spring of 1495. A two-year time frame for such a considerable building project certainly seems appropriate (at least in terms of partial construction). If the timber dates are accurate, then the court and hall were both built by Bishop Richard Hill. The Bishop would not have much time to enjoy his new residence, though, as he died in 1496.

The current structure, built by Bishop Richard FitzJames, dates from the reign of Henry VII (1485–1509). The structure underwent numerous modifications and alterations: the west courtyard is from the Tudor Period; the east courtyard is Georgian, the great hall is late-medieval; the eastern end of the building was renovated in Gothic style in the late 18th century; the east courtyard was classicised in the early 19th century, and the chapel was constructed in 1867.

Fulham Palace is a Grade I-listed building standing within a scheduled ancient monument. A number of structures on the property are Grade II-listed buildings including the chapel, moat bridge and attached piers, stables, walls of the walled garden, vinery, and bothies.

The palace garden
The garden at Fulham Palace has been one of the most important botanical gardens since the 16th century and is the second oldest in London. Bishop Grindal (c. 1519 – 1583) built a Tudor walled garden and a series of parterre gardens. He is credited with the introduction of the tamarisk tree to England and grew grapes that were sent to Elizabeth I.

In the early part of the 17th century, the gardens at Fulham Palace appear to have suffered from some unsympathetic attention. The antiquary John Aubrey records among his memoranda, "the Bishop of London did cutte-down a noble Clowd of trees at Fulham", occasioning the sharp remark from Sir Francis Bacon, a dedicated gardener, "that he was a good Expounder of dark places." This changed with Bishop Henry Compton (1675–1713) who introduced many new plant species to England in the gardens at Fulham Palace, including the American magnolia, M. virginiana, Liriodendron, Liquidambar and the first American azalea grown in England, Rhododendron viscosum. In his heated "stoves" he grew the first coffee tree in England. The red horse chestnut, a hybrid of Aesculus hippocastanum and the American Aesculus pavia, was still noted in Fulham Palace gardens as late as 1751. His gardener was George London

By 1681, the gardens at Fulham Palace were already remarkable, as John Evelyn noted when he visited them. Bishop Compton's gardener in the early years was George London, who started a famous nursery at Brompton the year of Evelyn's visit. By 1686, William Penn's gardener was hoping to exchange the exotic flora of Pennsylvania for seedlings and slips of trees and shrubs and seeds from Fulham Palace gardens. Compton's staunch defense of his former pupils, the Princesses Mary and Anne, led to his appointment as Deputy Superintendent of the Royal Gardens to William III and Mary II, and as Commissioner for Trade and Plantations. In the colonies, Compton had a botanical correspondent in John Banister, who was sent first to the West Indies and then to Virginia, and who, before his untimely death, sent Bishop Compton drawings, seeds, and herbarium specimens from which the Bishop's close friend John Ray compiled the first published account of North American flora, in his Historia Plantarum (1688).

World War I
In 1918, part of the grounds of the palace was converted into allotments, for growing food to help the war effort. The palace itself formed part of Fulham military hospital. After the war, the church found it increasingly difficult to maintain such a large, expensive building. The Bishop of London at the time, Arthur Winnington-Ingram, offered to give up the palace and live in two rooms as he had while the palace was being used "for the purpose of the National Mission" (the war effort). However, the bishop was unwilling to let the palace pass into secular hands.

World War II
Parts of the palace were damaged by bombing, and after the war, the church found it increasingly difficult to maintain this large, expensive historic building. In 1954, the Church Commissioners' architect described the palace as "badly planned and inconvenient". After many years of indecision the church authorities vacated the palace in 1973.

The palace moat
The palace's moat was nearly 1.4 km in length. It was the largest domestic moated site in medieval England, but its origin is unknown. The first known reference to the moat was in a 1392 document that refers to magna fossa ('great ditch'), but it is thought to be much older. Its distance from the palace suggests that it might have had a function other than defence. An alternative idea is that it was built by the Danes as a safeguard against flooding by the Thames. In 1976, the moated enclosure was designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

The moat was filled in with debris in the 1920s, at the request of the bishop of the time, Arthur Winnington-Ingram. Despite this, the entire moat still exists, underground, as an unbroken circuit. In 2010, an excavation of the moat began as part of a £8 million renovation of the palace and adjoining Bishops Park.

The Tait chapel
The Tait chapel at Fulham Palace, the fourth on the site, was designed by William Butterfield for Bishop Tait in 1866–7. It is dedicated to the Blessed Trinity and it cost £1869. Damaged by a bomb in World War II, the chapel was reorganised in the 1950s for Bishop Wand. The Salviati mosaic reredos was moved to the west end. The east window, destroyed in the war, was replaced by a new window by Ninian Comper in 1956. It shows "The Risen Saviour" with the message "Feed my sheep"; Bishops Creighton and Wand stand on either side. The top window commemorates Wand's son who died in a mountaineering accident in 1934. The west window by Clayton and Bell survived. Butterfield's patterned brickwork was painted over by Brian Thomas and students from Byam Shaw School of Art in 1953. The north wall painting shows: "The Fall" with Adam; the nativity is below; Atonement with the crucifixion, and the Last Supper with the gift of the Holy Spirit.

After the Bishops of London left the Palace in 1973, in 1975, the property was leased for 100 years by Hammersmith Council for the purpose of opening a museum and art gallery. After this, the palace and gardens suffered a period of neglect. In 1990, a trust was established to oversee the property in collaboration with the council.

The grounds of the palace originally covered more than 30 acre, though today only 13 acre remain. Although the Palace has its own chapel, the garden adjoins the churchyard of the neighbouring parish church, All Saints Church, Fulham, where several former bishops are buried. The allotments planted during the war still survive; many are still in use, allowing local people to grow their own vegetables, fruit and flowers.

Some of the ancient trees in and around Fulham Palace remain to this day, and visitors can still see the knot garden and wisteria which survive in the Palace's walled gardens. A large holm oak (Quercus ilex) is believed to be 500 years old and has been designated as one of the Great Trees of London.

Restoration of the palace and grounds
The Fulham Palace Restoration Project began in the 2000s and was carried out in three phases. The first phase, completed in 2006, restored the east wing of the palace and part of the west wing including the Tudor courtyard at the cost of £4 million. The second phase focused on the walled garden, the outbuildings, and the moat, and was completed in 2011, costing £7 million. The third phase was completed in 2019 and includes a new museum as well as significant restoration work to the brickwork in the Tudor courtyard and the Tudor great hall. Funding for all three phases came from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Fulham Palace Trust.

Museum and art gallery
In 1992, the Museum of Fulham Palace was set up in Bishop Howley's Dining Room and Bishop Porteus's Library (named after Bishop Beilby Porteus, 1731–1809), in the early 19th century part of the Palace. It contained some of the paintings that once hung in the building, stained glass, carved fragments of masonry and a bishop's cope, as well as displays describing the palace's history.

The lost manuscript of William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation (1620–47), an important founding document of the United States, was discovered in the library in 1855, and first published the next year. No one knows how it made its way there from America, but in 1897, it was given to Thomas F. Bayard, U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom, and repatriated to New England.

The palace's art collection includes a number of notable portraits: two 1798 works by Benjamin West, St Margaret of Scotland and Thomas a Becket; an oil on canvas of Field Marshal George Wade by Adriaen van Diest; an oil on canvas of Beilby Porteus by John Hoppner; and a Reginald Henry Lewis oil on canvas of William Wand.

Visitor access
The house and garden are open daily with free admission. The museum and historic rooms are open from 10.30 - 17.00 (10.30 - 16.00 in the winter). The restored walled garden is open daily from 10.15 - 16.15 (10.15 - 15.45 in the winter). The botanic garden is open daily from dawn to dusk. The café is in what was once Bishop Howley's dining room, and now serves lunches and light refreshments.

The palace can be accessed from Fulham Palace Road, close to the northern end of Putney Bridge, as well as Bishop's Park and All Saints Church, Fulham. The nearest Underground station is Putney Bridge

Asparagus bean

The asparagus bean (Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis) is a legume cultivated for its edible green pods containing immature seeds, like the green bean. It is also known as: yardlong bean, pea bean, long-podded cowpea, Chinese long bean, snake bean, bodi, and bora. Despite the common name of "yardlong", the pods are actually only about half a yard long, so the subspecies name sesquipedalis (one-and-a-half-foot-long; 1.5 ft) is a more accurate approximation.

A variety of the cowpea, the asparagus bean is grown primarily for its strikingly long (35 to 75 cm) immature green pods and has uses very similar to those of the green bean. This plant is in a different genus from the common bean. The different colors of seeds usually distinguish the many varieties. It is a vigorous climbing annual vine. The plant is subtropical/tropical and most widely grown in the warmer parts of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and southern China.

Cultivation
The pods, which can begin to form 60 days after sowing, hang in groups of two or more. They are used as vegetables when they are picked before they reach full maturity; however, overlooked mature pods can be used like dry beans. When harvesting, it is important not to pick the buds above the beans since the plant will set many more beans on the same stem in the future. The plants take longer to reach maturity than bush beans, but once they start producing, the pods are quick-growing, and daily checking and harvesting are often necessary. In temperate climates, the plants can produce beans until the first frost. The plant attracts many pollinators, specifically various types of wasps and ants.

The plant is easy to grow in areas with hot and humid summers where other green bean varieties may succumb to heat damage in summer, and as such, is worthy of more cultivation in these areas. This plant is particularly easy to grow in the Southeastern United States and southerly Midwestern United States, where it is not currently grown commonly.

Culinary
The crisp, tender pods are eaten both fresh and cooked. They are at their best when young and slender. They are sometimes cut into short sections for cooking uses. As a West Indian dish, they are often stir-fried with potatoes and shrimp. In Odisha, India, they are used to make a variety of dishes, especially a sour dish - ଝୁଡ଼ୁଙ୍ଗ ବେସର [judunga besara] cooking along with mustard sauce and lime. They are also used in stir-fries in Chinese cuisine, Thai cuisine and Kerala cuisine.

In the Philippines, they are widely eaten stir-fried with soy sauce, garlic, and hot pepper and in an all-vegetable dish called utan, or are stewed in bagoong-based dishes such as pinakbet and dinengdeng. Other Filipino dishes that have yardlong beans as ingredients are sinigang and kare-kare. Yardlong beans are also separated from the pod and are cooked with the buds of the alukon tree (Broussonetia luzonica, synonym Alleaenthus luzonicus) and other vegetables in a dish called agaya in northeastern Luzon.

In Suriname cuisine, they are served with roti. Similarly, in Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana, it is an Indo-Trinidadian/Indo-Guyanese dish that is fried or curried and served with roti or rice.

They're called මෑ කරල් (mae karal) in Sri Lankan cuisine, and are used for stir fries and as a curry. The Department of Agriculture (Sri Lanka) has released 8 varieties of the bean for cultivation.

Nutrition
They are a good source of protein, vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin, iron, phosphorus, and potassium, and vitamin C, folate, magnesium, and manganese.

A serving of 100 grams of yardlong beans contains 47 calories, 0 g of total fat, 4 mg sodium (0% daily value), 8 g of total carbohydrates (2% daily value), and 3 g of protein (5% daily value).

Rotary switch

A rotary switch is a switch operated by rotation. These are often chosen when more than 2 positions are needed, such as a three-speed fan or a CB radio with multiple frequencies of reception or "channels".

A rotary switch consists of a spindle or "rotor" that has a contact arm or "spoke" which projects from its surface like a cam. It has an array of terminals, arranged in a circle around the rotor, each of which serves as a contact for the "spoke" through which any one of a number of different electrical circuits can be connected to the rotor. The switch is layered to allow the use of multiple poles; each layer is equivalent to one pole. Alternatively the rotation can be limited to a fraction (half; third etc.) of a circle and then each layer can have multiple (two; three etc.) poles. Usually, such a switch has a detent mechanism so it "clicks" from one active position to another rather than stalls in an intermediate position. Thus a rotary switch provides greater pole and throw capabilities than simpler switches do.

Rotary switches were used as channel selectors on television receivers until the early 1970s, as range selectors on electrical metering equipment, as band selectors on multi-band radios, etc.

Modern rotary switches use a "star wheel" mechanism to provide the switching positions, such as at every 30, 45, 60, or 90 degrees. Nylon cams are then mounted behind this mechanism and spring-loaded electrical contacts slide around these cams. The cams are notched or cut where the contact should close to complete an electrical circuit.

Some rotary switches are user-configurable in relation to the number of positions. A special toothed washer that sits below the holding nut can be positioned so that the tooth is inserted into one of a number of slots in a way that limits the number of positions available for selection. For example, if only four positions are required on a twelve position switch, the washer can be positioned so that only four switching positions can be selected when in use.

Talk:Sinclair BASIC

Keyword grouping?
List of functions added. Should we group them? i.e. GO TO, GO SUB, RETURN IF, THEN FOR, TO, STEP, NEXT READ, DATA, RESTORE etc? --PopUpPirate 19:40, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)

 * For the time being, I have marked the keywords to distinguish between c ommands,  s tatements, commands+statements, functions, and other. I think listing BASIC keywords by "logical groups" should rather be done in the general BASIC programming language article, lest we'd have to do the listing in each and every BASIC dialect's article. Thanks for entering the keywords, BTW! :-) --Wernher 23:03, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * No I quite agree - good work - will try and add more tomorrow :D --PopUpPirate 01:19, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)

 * Just to explain my recent revert back to the compact listing of keywords and notes (er -- I thought we agreed in this?): I reiterate my opinion that detailed listings and comments on each BASIC keyword belong in the main BASIC prog.lang. article. I believe that all the BASIC dialect articles should be formatted more or less like this one--which I suggest to be the reference article in a future BASIC dialects WikiProject (stay tuned)--i.e. summarily presented, with notes for making clear all deviations from standard BASIC (Kemeny and Kurtz).

 * Also -- as for having one's formatting 'brutally reverted': Believe me, I've been there too, several times. Sometimes it just has to be done, though, in the interest of keeping articles compact and/or avoiding that other similar articles be getting out of hand. Sorry if I p'd you off; nothing personal. :-) --Wernher 06:09, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * If you prefer the current format that's fine :D I was going to group them as per the ZX Sinclair Basic book (orange cover) from www.worldofspectrum.org but it started getting complicated! --PopUpPirate 14:36, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)

Could somebody explain to me the difference between "commands", "statements" and "combined commands/statements"? The Spectrum makes no difference as far as I know. Cheers --Pak21 17:02, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Oh yes, it does :-) Generally in BASIC, and as stated on p.50 of the reference listed in the article, a "command" is a keyword that can be employed in the interpreter's direct mode to initiate an action; a "statement" is similar but must be used in program lines; a "function" produces a value of some kind; and a "logical operator" is a keyword which is used to express logic in a command/statement. --Wernher 02:41, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't have my copy of the orange manual handy, but it looks to me like the article is pretty broken. DIM definitely does have an effect when used in direct mode. All the other things listed as statements can be employed in direct mode, but admittedly don't have an effect. All the things listed as commands (the If1 extensions) can definitely be used in a program (and have an effect). The things listed as statements (other than DIM) don't "initiate an action" when used in a program either.

 * Thinking things over, I now see that the Spectrum+ manual (black) confused me quite a bit, and that we should probably regroup the keywords as follows: Let's combine the "commands", "combined c./statements", and "statements" into a single group called "commands", which denotes keywords that may be used both in direct mode and in program lines. DIM which will be moved into this group. "Functions" and "Other keywords" stay as is. A few commands are probably meaningless in direct mode, these may include CONTINUE, DATA, READ, REM and RESTORE (not sure what results these would give as direct commands; I should dig out my Speccy and check...). --Wernher 05:50, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

 * That makes a lot more sense to me. Of those, CONTINUE certainly does have an effect in direct mode (is it ever used in a program?) as do READ and RESTORE. DATA doesn't, and neither does REM (shockingly enough). DEF FN doesn't have an effect in direct mode either. Think that's about it. Cheers --Pak21 09:28, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

GO TO vs GOTO
I'm not 110% sure, so I'll just go ahead and ask: are Sinclair BASIC's GO TO and GO SUB totally exhangeable with the more common (in other BASIC dialects) GOTO and GOSUB? --Wernher 06:54, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "exchangable". They work the same way if that's what you mean.  Note that on the ZX81, it was GOTO and GOSUB.  On the ZX Spectrum it was GO TO and GO SUB. On neither computer did you actually have to type the letters G, O, ..., because all commands were bound to single keypresses ('G' and 'H' in this instance). Richard W.M. Jones 10:10, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I just meant that, say, on the Spectrum, will both GO TO and GOTO work as expected? Another detail: will entering GO TO (GOTO) at edit time lead to GOTO (GO TO) being displayed when listing the program? --Wernher 11:21, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * No. Both machines had a strange modal entry system.  When the cursor indicated "command mode" (cursor was a flashing K), pressing G or H on the keyboard would enter the keyword "GO TO" or "GO SUB" respectively.  (On the ZX81 you'd see "GOTO" and "GOSUB" respectively).  Unlike other BASIC interpreters, even of the time, the Sinclair machines had no lexing stage, so there was never an instance where the individual letters G, O, ..., could be entered and understood as one of the commands.  Richard W.M. Jones 20:39, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * These machines must have a lexing stage, otherwise they wouldn't be able to accept string literals, numeric literals of more than one digit or variable names with more than one character. They just don't tokenise keywords the way most BASICs do.  A keyword is just a single-character token, just like most symbols that have meaning in Sinclair BASIC. — Smjg (talk) 20:41, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Different versions (+2, +3)
How about the BASIC +2 and BASIC +3 versions of Sinclair BASIC? IIRC these were written/extended by Locomotive Software (who previously wrote Locomotive BASIC for the Amstrad CPC series). We should have some info (separate sections) on those versions. --Wernher 03:30, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Timex extensions
Could somebody please cite a source showing that the TS2048 either does or does not have the DELETE command? The TC2048 ROM (note the difference there) definitely does not include the DELETE command. AIUI, the TS2048 was never commercially released. --Pak21 13:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I've now changed things to state that the TS2048 did not have the extended commands. If anyone can cite a source showing that it did, please do so and revert my change. --Pak21 16:52, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

I have a reputable source that states the TS2048 never existed. No independent verification yet though. It's not Timex BASIC though, it's T/S 2000 BASIC (source: "Timex/Sinclair 2068 Personal Color Computer User Manual" by Charles F. Durang, Timex Computer Corporation, Waterbury Connecticut 06720, 1983.). 93.96.235.195 (talk) 20:37, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Precision of PI
"Returns the value of pi to seven decimal places (3.1415927)"

I've just checked, and it doesn't return it to seven decimal places at all. It appears that whoever wrote this is/was unaware of the way computers work in binary, saw that if you execute PRINT PI then it outputs it to seven decimal places, and assumed this is the precision to which PI returns it. If the claim is taken from the cited source, then one is made to doubt the credibility of the source.

By my experiments, it seems  returns the value of π at full machine precision. When Sinclair BASIC formats a floating-point number for output, it formats it to eight significant figures (minus any trailing zeros right of the decimal point), giving the mentioned 3.1415927. Further tests show that machine epsilon (by definition [b] there) is $$2^{-31} \approx 4.6566 \times 10^{-10}$$. The impact of this is that the value is correct to nine decimal places. — Smjg (talk) 22:46, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Hyperglycemia

Definition
Opening paragraph is a mess. It defines hyperglycemia " higher than 11.1 mmol/l (200 mg/dl)" while saying that "a consistent range between ~5.6 and ~7 mmol/l (100–126 mg/dl)" is "slightly" hyperglycemic, while "chronic levels above 10–12 mmol/L (180–216 mg/dl) can produce noticeable organ damage over time," even though most of that range doesn't meet the previously stated definition of hyperglycemia.

 * Get a blood glucose testing machine, the things that prick the finger.J. M. 04:17, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Too
Too much of this article sounds like a medical journal. Example:  A hyperglycemic condition without other classic symptoms is not dispositive of a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, but hyperglycemia is also an independent medical condition with other causes.

"is not dispositive"? With that double negative in there, does that mean it is positive?? I would rewrite this in plain English but I'm not entirely confident in what this article is saying.

Another example: '' By comparison to hyperglycemia as an independent non-diabetic condition, Diabetes mellitus, in its organic form, is an apparently auto-immune disease of unknown cause and unknown cure, in which the Islets of Langerhans (a subordinate organ within the pancreas) fail to produce sufficient quantities of the hormone insulin or produce no insulin at all. ''

First of all, that sentence is way too long and should be broken up. Also, it's filled with medical jargon. What does "in its organic form" mean? What the heck does "By comparison to hyperglycemia as an independent non-diabetic condition" refer to?

Could someone with more of a science background help out and strip away the jargon and rewrite this in a way that would be useful to a wider audience?

Non-diabetic hyperglycaemia
I don't like the first paragraph especially - as described here, "non-diabetic" hyperglycaemia seems to be very similar to Type 2 diabetes, which is linked to obesity and to an insensitivity of cells to insulin. Moreover, as far as I am aware, to this date Type 2 diabetes has no proven mechanism as to how obesity affects insulin sensitivity, or even if there is a proven link with obesity, although management plans focus on weight loss and diet control as two of very few treatments that have some efficiency in regulating blood glucose level in this type of diabetes. I'm not an expert on Type 2 diabetes and don't have sufficient knowledge that I could do a good job; however I feel that this section of the article especially could be cleaned up and improved upon significantly.

Thanks Yazza 01:46, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Expand to simulate hypoglycemia
It seems to me that this article should be modeled after the hypoglycemia article, since they're similar conditions. Currently it seems a bit lopsided information-wise. 72.70.165.104 04:01, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

A question about blood glucose levels
I am not a qualified doctor (my abillity to use the title "Dr" comes from my having a Ph.D. in Psychology), but just from general experience and reading, I wonder whether the range of blood sugars given here (4 to 7 millimoles) is a little too narrow. For people with diabetes mellitus, should we describe those below 3 as hypoglycemia, and those above 11.1 as hyperglycemia? Also, would it not depend on how long it was since one last ate? By the way, blood sugar meters may not start flashing up the "Check ketone level message" until blood glucose levels are over 13.1. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 21:28, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * That blood glucose range is indicative of fasting blood glucose levels. This should be stated in the article. Medsta (talk) 08:22, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 4-7 is a bit narrow, i used to be told 5-10 was more realistic, with 4-8 being the most ideal blood sugar. Below 3 is hypoglycemic, and technically above 10 -is- hyperglycemic. Different blood glucose monitors have different pre-set counts at which to display a "check ketones" message. An old one i had had it at about 13, my insulin pump tells me at 14 or over, i believe. It only depends how long after one ate if they are either unaware of a diabetic or other medical condition causing chronic hyperglycemia, or if they were diabetic and did not quite take care of themselves properly. I know even on an insulin pump a diabetic's blood sugar will, obviously, rise after eating, but by taking a bolus dose of insulin, or an injection of insulin immediately after eating, it should be kept generally in a safe range. It's been about 5 years since i used needles so I can't really remember how they worked

Insulin Resistance
I think this article should also include information on how hyperglycaemia can lead to increased insulin resistance. Medsta (talk) 08:24, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Technical mistake "Some of the newer, double action anti-depressants such as Zyprexa (Olanzapine), and Cymbalta (Duloxetine), can also cause significant hyperglycemia."

The opening needs to be rewritten
The opening of this article would be a lot clearer to most readers, I am sure, if it did not suddenly jump from having the measurement of blood glucose in mg, and then go on to have it in millimoles. I am aware that this might have been altered, and that if one looks at the history of the article, one might see changes, but I still think that it should be rewritten for clarity. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 16:24, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

HbA1c Test
In this line: "Chronic hyperglycemia can be measured via the HbA1c test. The definition of acute hyperglycemia varies by study, with mmol/l levels from 8 to 15.[4]"  I am not sure the HbA1c numbers are the same scale as mmol/l. When I take this lab blood-test at intervals, the doctor shows me numbers that are different from the mmol/l reading I am asked to take at the same time. There was a conversion chart used between the two values. What do you think? 204.92.65.10 (talk) 19:43, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Levels provided are WRONG
Sorry, but the levels for hyperglycemia provided as 'generaly" >11.1mmol/L, and then diabetes defined as >7mmol/L is basically WRONG. Hyperglycemia is defined (as you can see on the diabetes page) as >6.1mmol/L.

Temporary hyperglycemia signs and symptoms
The article says "Temporary hyperglycemia is often benign and asymptomatic. Blood glucose levels can rise well above normal for significant periods without producing any permanent effects or symptoms." But presumably it produces temporary signs and symptoms - are these just temporary versions of the permanent ones? For example if too much sugar is consumed is there glycosuria as the body tries to excrete it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.41.95.63 (talk) 11:58, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Jonas Andersson (ice hockey)

Jonas Erik Andersson (born 24 February 1981) is a Swedish former professional ice hockey player. Most of his career was spent playing in the SM-liiga, the top league in Finland, though he also briefly played for the Nashville Predators and Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League (NHL). Andersson played internationally for Sweden at both the junior and senior level, including the 2010 World Championship.

Playing career
Andersson was selected 33rd overall in the second round of the 1999 NHL Entry Draft by the Nashville Predators after playing two years in the Swedish J20 SuperElit with AIK.

Andersson immediately started his North American career the next season playing junior in the Ontario Hockey League with the North Bay Centennials scoring an impressive point per game to be named OHL All-Star Game and earning selection to the OHL First All-Rookie Team. He played the majority of his North American professional career with the Predators' minor league affiliate the Milwaukee Admirals, but played five games for Nashville in the 2001–02 NHL season.

Andersson failed to live up to his draft status since being picked, being part of the poor 1–2 punch that the Preds selected in 1999, following goaltender Brian Finley. He went back to Sweden in 2004, playing for Södertälje SK and Brynäs IF in Elitserien during the NHL lockout.

Spanish missions in Trinidad

Spanish Missions in Trinidad were established as part of the Spanish colonisation of its new possessions. In 1687 the Catholic Catalan Capuchin friars were given responsibility for religious conversions of the indigenous Amerindian residents of Trinidad and the Guianas. In 1713 the missions were handed over to the secular clergy. Due to shortages of missionaries, although the missions were established they often went without Christian instruction for long periods of time.

Between 1687 and 1700 several missions were founded in Trinidad, but only four survived as Amerindian villages throughout the eighteenth century - La Anuncíacion de Nazaret de Sabana Grande (modern Princes Town), Purísima Concepción de María Santísima de Guayri (modern San Fernando), Santa Ana de Sabaneta (modern Savonetta), Nuestra Señora de Montserrate (probably modern Mayo). The mission of Santa Rosa de Arima was established in 1789 when Amerindians from the former encomiendas of Tacarigua and Arauca (Arouca) were relocated further west.

List of missions

 * La Anuncíacion de Nazaret de Sabana Grande.
 * Purísima Concepción de María Santísima de Guayri.
 * Santa Ana de Sabaneta.
 * Nuestra Señora de Montserrate.
 * San Francisco de los Arenales (site of the Arena massacre; traditionally said to be modern San Rafael).
 * San Francisco de Careiro (probably modern Guayaguayare).
 * St. Joseph de Mayaro (probably on Mayaro Bay, possibly the modern village of St. Joseph, Mayaro).
 * Los Santos Reyes de Mucurapo (probably modern Port of Spain)
 * Santa Rosa de Arima (modern Arima; see Santa Rosa First Peoples Community)

Central Park Medical Unit

The Central Park Medical Unit (CPMU) is an all-volunteer ambulance service that provides completely free emergency medical service to patrons of Central Park and the surrounding streets, in Manhattan, New York City, United States.

Description
CPMU's 150 certified emergency medical technicians respond to 3,000 calls annually. Many of these calls are true medical emergencies resulting in life saving care—which represents over two and a half million dollars in free care to the people of New York City. CPMU's ambulances have a response time consistently under three minutes, the lowest of any ambulance corps in the state of New York. CPMU has been recognized by numerous city and state officials, including citations from the New York City Police Department, Fire Department, Office of Emergency Management, and Department of Parks and Recreation.

Members of CPMU range from college students to retirees. As one of the few opportunities to volunteer as an EMT in Manhattan, CPMU trains recent EMT graduates in the practical application of their skills. CPMU is completely funded by private donations, relying on the support of corporations and individuals and receiving no financial support from the city, state, or federal governments.

In addition to its three ambulances, CPMU also operates a rapid-response bike patrol and a roller skating patrol. The patrol is active particularly during major events such as the New York City Marathon, the 1998 Goodwill Games, and concerts in Central Park (like the 2003 Dave Matthews Band Concert and the 2008 Bon Jovi Concert). CPMU has also helped the greater New York City community during the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, the American Airlines Flight 587 crash, the 2003 North America blackout as well as Hurricane Sandy.

History
CPMU was founded in 1975 after some local New Yorkers realized a need for rapid medical response in Central Park. Ambulance response times could take as long as 90 minutes in the park, which was not helped by the fact that ambulance crews did not have much navigational knowledge of the park's geography. CPMU was founded as the "Central Park Medical Rescue Squad."

The Central Park Medical Rescue Squad was primarily a first response unit that consisted of approximately twenty volunteers, a few personal bicycles and a retrofitted Ford van used to transport crews and equipment. Later a stretcher was added to the van to allow for transport of patients when city EMS was not available. In 1976, the Central Park Medical Rescue Squad purchased a used type II ambulance from Lenox Hill Hospital. This allowed them to become a full-fledged, transporting emergency medical unit. In 1979, the rescue squad incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation and was renamed the "Central Park Medical Unit."
