Islamia University of Bahawalpur

The Islamia University of Bahawalpur (IUB), formerly known as Jamia Abbasia, is a public university located in Bahawalpur, Punjab, Pakistan. It is the only government university within the division, offering standard education both practical and theoretical.

History
Islamia University began as Jamia Abbasia, a religious university established in Bahawalpur in 1925 following the academic pursuits of Al-Azhar University in Egypt. In 1975, Jamia Abbasia was declared a general university and renamed as The Islamia University of Bahawalpur.

Overview
The university started at the Abbasia and Khawaja Fareed campuses with ten departments. Later, 1280 acres of land was allotted to the university on Hasilpur Road about eight kilometers away from the city center which became the Baghdad-ul-Jadeed campus. It consists of 126 teaching departments offering 300 disciples. In 2015, it was ranked 11th in the general (large) category of universities.

Faculties
The Islamia University Bahawalpur has currently fifteen functional faculties which are listed as,

 * Faculty of Law
 * Faculty of Education
 * Faculty of Chemical & Biological Sciences
 * Faculty of Physical & Mathematical Sciences
 * Faculty of Management Sciences and Commerce
 * Faculty of Computing
 * Faculty of Social sciences
 * Faculty of Pharmacy
 * Faculty of Islamic Learning
 * Faculty of Arts and Languages
 * Faculty of Engineering
 * Faculty of Veterinary and Animal Sciences
 * Faculty of Agriculture and Environment
 * Faculty of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences
 * Faculty of Online and Distance Education

Sub campuses
Islamia University added two more campuses in 2005: One covering eastern side of Bahawalpur Division (in Bahawalnagar; known as IUB Bahawalnagar Campus) and the other one to cover western side of Bahawalpur Division (in Rahim Yar Khan; known as IUB - Rahim Yar Khan Campus or IUB - RYK Campus).

Scandal
On 24 July 2023, the Chief Security Officer of Islamia University was arrested by police at a checkpoint as he was actively attempting to flee. A search of his vehicle led to the discovery of various drugs and medicines commonly used for sexual pleasure. The police also discovered more than 5500 obscene videos and pictures of women, many of which were of university staff members and students. A 5-member body to investigate the scandal was formed by The Higher Education Commission (HEC) on 28 July 2023. Punjab interim Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi also formed a 3-member inquiry committee to investigate the sale of drugs in the university.

Talk:Head crash

Why do we need an article dedicated to head crash when we have the more general Hard disk failure article?

84.215.158.45 04:36, 14 October 2007 (UTC) - What sort of conditions increase the probability of a head crash occuring? Analogously, what steps can be taken to reduce the chances of a head crash? This year I've overheard more and more people mentioning, "ahh my hard drive crashed, I have to get a new one" more than I've ever heard it (and I've spent most of the last 6 years of my life in computer labs) -- is there any empirical evidence of hard drives, in general, becoming produced less and less reliable? This doesn't seem to be a topic covered very much on the web, other than what to do after the fact, so this article could use some expansion. --69.234.185.170 06:07, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Generally the biggest cause of head crashes in PC and similar hard drives is moving or dropping the drive when it is powered on. Drives don't like sudden movements when they are spun-up and sudden impacts can cause the heads to dig into the platter surface, damaging the magnetic coating. IMHO most 'head crashes' people claim to have suffered-from are more likely to be soft failures, modern EIDE and SCSI drives being extremely reliable, providing they are handled correctly. The drives are assembled in clean rooms so dust is not usually a factor providing the drive case hasn't been opened. Although many will end up in consumer PCs these drives are manufactured to business (i.e., professional use) standards and providing the drive doesn't fail within the first few weeks, most will easily last five years, the drive generally becoming obsolete due to drive capacity/speed advances, (i.e., people replacing the drive with a bigger or faster one), before actually wearing out.

 * BTW, I used to work on Honeywell/Bull mainframes and the Control Data/Data General MSU4551 removable platter hard disk drives occasionally had proper head crashes. One could always tell when, as there used to be a distinct smell of burning around the drive. The result of this was having to get an engineer to replace the individual head assemblies, and then use the latest backup disk pack and re-run any jobs that hadn't been included in the backup. Ian Dunster (talk) 10:44, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

What is the probability for head crash in case of normal HDD usage (according to the manufacturer's specifications) in server environment (several months non-stop online)?

Is it more probably a meteorite to destroy a HDD than a head crash in case of normal stationary usage for period about 6 years?

A link to an article (from an authoritative non-biased source) with such information will be valuable.

"Since most modern drives spin at rates between 5,000 and 15,000 revolutions per minute, the damage caused by a head crash can be disastrous."

A few bad sectors (not caused of head crash) over very important files can also be "disastrous". In how many of the cases the physical damage is considerable (more than 5% of the magnetic surface is damaged)? (reliable statistics data will be valuable)

Maybe it is not a good idea to listen music from HDD based MP3 player while skiing/snowboarding. How severe is the problem for the stationary (desktop/server) users?

According to this article some HDDs have protective layer on the platters. Also (from the same source) it is more probably a head crash to occur in old HDDs despite the higher floating height of the heads. --

120km/h a little abstract
>At 7,200 RPM the edge of the platter is traveling at over 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph) This is quite abstract for such a small device. Why not write "~33m/s". That will give people a better sense of how fast the disk is spinning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.32.126.131 (talk) 00:22, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Really? I have no idea how fast "~33m/s" is. However, "over 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph)" actually means something to me. —Diiscool (talk) 14:37, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * And you can totally imagine how fast a small disk is when it is spinning at 120km/h. No, I don't think so. You know how long a second is, you know how long 33m are. But I guess you don't even know what 120km/h means. You're just saying that because you can read your speed meter in your car. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.32.126.131 (talk) 15:29, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

 * I think the speed of a car is a reasonably good comparison. What can I compare 33 m/s with? The speed of storm wind? That's far more abstract. -- intgr [talk] 21:28, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * You imagine making a leap of 33m in a second. That's pretty reasonable. Other units are rather abstract. Ask some people how fast 120km/h is. You'll get the answer "well, my car goes that fast". I hope you know how subjective the perception of speed is in a car. Drive 200km/h for 10 minutes and slow down to 100km/h. You'll feel like you're driving 50km/h. Furthermore, we're not talking about a car, we're talking about a small static object that has spinning disks in it. Smaller units make much more sense for that. 91.32.126.131 (talk) 21:45, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * So we just use both figures, and while we're at it we can include 100 feet per second. Incidentally back in the days when disk drives looked like washing machines, the 14" platters spun at 3600 rpm for an "edge speed" over 100 mph or around 150 fps.  I'll leave it up to you guys to do the metric conversions there :) Nibios (talk) 19:14, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Esper (Final Fantasy VI)

I've put up a notice suggesting that this article be merged with Summoner (character class). There's more overlap than not, and most of the FF6-specific info can be dealt with in that article. Any disagreement? – Seancdaug 06:08, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

Though Espers can be summoned after they have been reduced to magicite, they themselves, and the characters from the game Final Fantasy VI, do not have a class designated as a summoner, and the game never mentions about such a class at all. The Esper page should remain separate from the Summoner page. --EisenKnoechel 05:09, May 11, 2005 (UTC)

That's a fair point, but my problem is that having a seperate page for Espers is redundant: they are, in and of themselves, not distinct enough from summoned monsters in any other game in the series to warrant a seperate article. The Summoner article currently contains information both about summoners as a character class, and summoning magic in general, and that seemed the most logical place to put them. I suppose that that article could be split into two, although my concern with that is the information seems to belong together, and the split would possibly create more confusion than it clears up. Still, my primary concern is the FF6 article sprawl: this information should, at the very least, be grouped together with information on other FF summoned creatures, be they GFs, Eidolons, Aeons, or whatever, to reduce redundancy. If the Summoner article doesn't suit that purpose, than a new article should be created that does. – Seancdaug 17:16, May 11, 2005 (UTC)

Leslie Uggams

Leslie Marian Uggams (born May 25, 1943) is an American actress and singer. Beginning her career as a child in the early 1950s, Uggams is recognized for portraying Kizzy Reynolds in the television miniseries Roots (1977), earning Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominations for her performance. She had earlier been highly acclaimed for the Broadway musical Hallelujah, Baby!, winning a Theatre World Award in 1967 and the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical in 1968. Later in her career, Uggams received renewed notice with appearances as Blind Al in the superhero films Deadpool (2016) and its 2018 sequel (as well as in the upcoming 2024 third Deadpool film); as Leah Walker on the Fox musical drama series Empire (2016–2020); as Agnes Ellison in the comedy-drama film American Fiction (2023); and as Betty Pearson in the Amazon Original post-apocalyptic drama series Fallout (2024), based on the video game of the same name.

Early life
Uggams was born in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City, the daughter of Juanita Ernestine (Smith), a Cotton Club chorus girl/dancer, and Harold Coyden Uggams, an elevator operator and maintenance man, who was a singer with the Hall Johnson choir. She attended the Professional Children's School of New York and Juilliard. Her aunt, singer Eloise C. Uggams, encouraged her musical training. One of her grandfathers was Coyden H. Uggams, twice pastor of Zion Presbyterian Church in Charleston, South Carolina, from 1902 to 1906 and 1913 to 1919.

Early work
Uggams started in show business as a child in 1951, playing the niece of Ethel Waters on Beulah. That same year she appeared as a featured performer at the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem, alongside Ella Fitzgerald. She made her professional debut at the age of six on Jack Barry's NBC show "Stars And Stardust." Following that, she performed on "Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts". Uggams got her biggest break on The Lawrence Welk Show and was a regular on Sing Along with Mitch, starring record producer-conductor Mitch Miller. In January 1954, ten-year-old Uggams released a double-sided single by MGM Records. In 1960, she sang, off-screen, "Give Me That Old Time Religion" in the film Inherit the Wind. Uggams came to be recognized by TV audiences as an upcoming teen talent in 1958 on the musical quiz show series Name That Tune. A record executive was in the studio audience and signed her to a contract. Her records "One More Sunrise" (an English-language cover of Ivo Robic's "Morgen", 1959) and "House Built on Sand" made Billboard magazine's charts.

Television and film
She appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show singing The Beatles' Yesterday in 1965 and later had her own television variety show, The Leslie Uggams Show in 1969. This was the first network variety show to be hosted by a black person since The Nat King Cole Show of the mid-1950s. She had a lead role in the 1977 miniseries Roots, for which she received an Emmy nomination, as Kizzy. In 1979, she starred as Lillian Rogers Parks in the Emmy-winning miniseries Backstairs at the White House. She also made guest appearances on such television programs as Family Guy (as herself), I Spy, Hollywood Squares, The Muppet Show, The Love Boat and Magnum, P.I.. In 1996, Uggams played the role of Rose Keefer on All My Children. She won a 1983 Daytime Emmy Award as a host of the NBC game show Fantasy.

In her first film, she was neither seen, nor credited. In Inherit the Wind (1960), she sang the opening, "(Gimme Dat) Old Time Religion", and the closing, "Battle Hymn of the Republic". Her film career includes roles in Skyjacked (1972), Black Girl (1972) and Poor Pretty Eddie (1975), in which she played a popular singer who, upon being stranded in the deep South, is abused and humiliated by the perverse denizens of a backwoods town. She later appeared in Sugar Hill (1994) opposite Wesley Snipes, and played Blind Al in Deadpool (2016) in February 2016. In April 2016, she portrayed Leah Walker, the bipolar mother of Lucious Lyon in the hit Fox series Empire. Uggams appeared as Sadie in the 2017 television film The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, and in 2018, she returned as Blind Al in Deadpool 2.

She is an active Democrat and hosted a 1984 Democratic Telethon. In 1999 and 2021, she guest starred in two episodes of Family Guy. Additionally, she is also slated to reprise her role as Blind Al in Deadpool & Wolverine.

In 2023, Uggams voiced a character, Grandma, in My Dad the Bounty Hunter and appeared as Agnes in the film American Fiction.

Stage
Uggams was picked to star in Hallelujah, Baby! after Lena Horne declined the role of Georgina. The musical premiered on Broadway in 1967 and "created a new star" in Uggams. She won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a musical (in a tie with Patricia Routledge). She appeared on Broadway in the revue Blues in the Night in 1982 and in the musical revue of the works of Jerry Herman, Jerry's Girls in 1985. Uggams replaced Patti LuPone as Reno Sweeney in the Lincoln Center revival of Cole Porter's musical Anything Goes on Broadway in March 1989. She had played Reno in a US tour in 1988–1989. Later Broadway roles include Muzzy in Thoroughly Modern Millie (2003–2004) and Ethel Thayer in On Golden Pond at the Kennedy Center in 2004 and on Broadway at the Cort Theatre in 2005. In 2001, she appeared in the August Wilson play King Hedley II, receiving a nomination for the Tony Award, Best Actress in a Play. In January 2009, Uggams played Lena Horne in a production of the stage musical Stormy Weather at the Pasadena Playhouse in California, directed by Michael Bush and choreographed by Randy Skinner. In June 2012, Uggams played Muzzy in a production of Thoroughly Modern Millie at The Muny in St. Louis. In 2014, she starred as Rose in Connecticut Repertory Theatre's Nutmeg Summer Series production of Gypsy. In 2024, Uggams appeared in the role of Gran Mimi in the New York City Center Encores! production of Jelly's Last Jam, which ran from February 21 to March 3.

Personal life
Uggams has been married to her longtime manager Grahame Pratt since 1965, at the time a rare high-profile interracial marriage. “It was not as hard as I expected it to be,” Uggams says. “I think the reason is that Grahame was not an American white man. But of course we did get mail.” Uggams met her husband at the Professional Children's School of New York, where they were both students. The couple met again while she was performing in Sydney during one of Uggams's celebrity tours in Australia, and he became her manager afterward. After their wedding, they decided to settle in New York City for its relative tolerance of interracial relationships. The couple's daughter Danielle was born in 1970, and their son Justice in 1975.

Glycine receptor

The glycine receptor (abbreviated as GlyR or GLR) is the receptor of the amino acid neurotransmitter glycine. GlyR is an ionotropic receptor that produces its effects through chloride currents. It is one of the most widely distributed inhibitory receptors in the central nervous system and has important roles in a variety of physiological processes, especially in mediating inhibitory neurotransmission in the spinal cord and brainstem.

The receptor can be activated by a range of simple amino acids including glycine, β-alanine and taurine, and can be selectively blocked by the high-affinity competitive antagonist strychnine. Caffeine is a competitive antagonist of GlyR. Cannabinoids enhance the function.

The protein Gephyrin has been shown to be necessary for GlyR clustering at inhibitory synapses. GlyR is known to colocalize with the GABAA receptor on some hippocampal neurons. Nevertheless, some exceptions can occur in the central nervous system where the GlyR α1 subunit and gephyrin, its anchoring protein, are not found in dorsal root ganglion neurons despite the presence of GABAA receptors.

History
Glycine and its receptor were first suggested to play a role in inhibition of cells in 1965. Two years later, experiments showed that glycine had a hyperpolarizing effect on spinal motor neurons due to increased chloride conductance through the receptor. Then, in 1971, glycine was found to be localized in the spinal cord using autoradiography. All of these discoveries resulted in the conclusion that glycine is a primary inhibitory neurotransmitter of the spinal cord that works via its receptor.

Arrangement of subunits
Strychnine-sensitive GlyRs are members of a family of ligand-gated ion channels. Receptors of this family are arranged as five subunits surrounding a central pore, with each subunit composed of four α helical transmembrane segments. There are presently four known isoforms of the ligand-binding α-subunit (α1-4) of GlyR (GLRA1, GLRA2, GLRA3, GLRA4) and a single β-subunit (GLRB). The adult form of the GlyR is the heteromeric α1β receptor, which is believed to have a stoichiometry (proportion) of three α1 subunits and two β subunits or four α1 subunits and one β subunit. The embryo form on the other hand, is made up of five α2 subunits. The α-subunits are also able to form functional homopentamers in heterologous expression systems in African clawed frog oocytes or mammalian cell lines, which are useful for studies of channel pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The β subunit is unable to form functional channels without α subunits but determines the synaptic localization of GlyRs and the pharmacological profile of glycinergic currents.

Adults
In mature adults, glycine is a inhibitory neurotransmitter found in the spinal cord and regions of the brain. As it binds to a glycine receptor, a conformational change is induced, and the channel created by the receptor opens. As the channel opens, chloride ions are able to flow into the cell which results in hyperpolarization. In addition to this hyperpolarization, which decreases the likelihood of action potential propagation, glycine is also responsible for decreasing the release of both inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmitters as it binds to its receptor. This is called the "shunting" effect and can be explained by Ohm's Law. As the receptor is activated, the membrane conductance is increased and the membrane resistance is decreased. According to Ohm's Law, as resistance decreases, so does voltage. A decreased postsynaptic voltage results in a decreased release of neurotransmitters.

Embryos
In developing embryos, glycine has the opposite effect as it does in adults. It is an excitatory neurotransmitter. This is due to the fact that chloride has a more positive equilibrium potential in early stages of life due to the high expression of NKCC1. This moves one sodium, one potassium and two chloride ions into the cell, resulting in a higher intracellular chloride concentration. When glycine binds to its receptor, the result is an efflux of chloride, instead of an influx as it happens in mature adults. The efflux of chloride causes the membrane potential to become more positive, or depolarized. As the cells mature, the K+-Cl- cotransporter 2 (KCC2) is expressed, which moves potassium and chloride out of the cell, decreasing the intracellular chloride concentration. This allows the receptor to switch to an inhibitory mechanism as described above for adults.

Glycine receptors in diseases
Disruption of GlyR surface expression or reduced ability of expressed GlyRs to conduct chloride ions results in the rare neurological disorder, hyperekplexia. The disorder is characterized by an exaggerated response to unexpected stimuli which is followed by a temporary but complete muscular rigidity often resulting in an unprotected fall. Chronic injuries as a result of the falls are symptomatic of the disorder. A mutation in GLRA1 is responsible for some cases of stiff person syndrome.

Caleuche

The Caleuche (from the Mapudungun kalewtun, "to transform, to change" and che, "people": "transformed people"), also called The Enchanted Ship, Barcoiche, The Ghost Ship, or The Warlocks' Ship, is a legendary ghost ship from Chilote mythology in southern Chile.

Origin of the legend and versions
The legend of Caleuche is related to many aspects of history and the beliefs of the Chiloé archipelago.

Renato Cárdenas‘s book of Chiloé mythology is a collection of stories, legends and magic derived from oral tradition.

The Caleuche is also known as the Marino, the Ship of Magic, the Ship of Fire, or the Barcoiche. They are all names given to the Caluche, a marvelous ship of music and lights that travels along Chiloé canals. Certain conditions, such as foggy days, make it possible to sense and see the ship. Sounds of chains, parties, music, and the dominating outline of the ship makes it unmistakable. For some it is a mesmerizing sight and can pass right through other vessels, while others claim to have attended parties inside the ship - though they would have preferred it be on land and in the company of women! For those parties they make a deal with merchants who have daughters, and The Caleuche provides them with merchandise in exchange; thus the locals explain the rapid appearance of merchants who are never seen buying anything, but prosper quickly. Those protected by The Caleuche generally have black hens and tarred boats with ropes of quilineja.

The Caleuche can both disappear and take on the appearance of whatever it desires so as to not be seen; its sailors can transform into wolves or dolphins. Another one of the ship’s features is its extraordinary speed. In order to witness these phenomena without being seen, one must cover one’s mouth: the first thing it senses is breath. There are also varieties of trees behind which one can hide so as to not be captured by the Caleuche, some being the Chilean wineberry and the olivillo. People fear being captured by the Magical Ship: one can never be too cautious.

Many believe that the sailors of this ship have a leg attached to their spine, similar to the Imbunche, while others describe them as well-presented, wearing special clothing and having cold hands upon greeting. In general, they are honest in their behaviour, and with the help of their crewmates they rescue shipwreck survivors. Some believe that their final destination is the port named City of the Caesars, a marvellous place hidden away somewhere along the Andes where its residents eternally reside. Chiloé sailors recommend that one is very respectful when trying to navigate through the area; they suggest that one not sing nor whistle, as it angers the Caleuche and gives rise to the misfortune it may bring.

Between the various hypotheses that have been proposed on the origin of the legend, it is suggested that it could be a readaptation of the European legend of the ghost ship known as The Flying Dutchman. It has also been argued that it was based on real events, such as the disappearance of the Dutch ship "The Calanche" or the mysterious disappearances of the Spanish Estrecho de Magallanes. Another possibility is that the legend has origins based on the arrival of ships to the archipelago of the Netherlands, led by Baltazar de Cordes, in an expedition that captured the island for a brief period in the year 1600. Another interpretation is that it was originally only an invention to hide contraband operations in the Chiloé Archipelago.

There are some who credit its origin to the phenomenon of the osnis (unidentified submersible objects).

Overall, there are various versions that complement and/or differ from each other in detail. Nevertheless, what they all share in common is that it is a ship that can appear and disappear in the middle of the night, and that is it dangerous to find oneself among the mythical ship. The most widely-accepted theory is that the ship recovers the dead and revive them to live eternally on the ship, surrounded by parties and celebrations.

Magical Ship of the Drowned
A popular version of this tale states that the ship recovers bodies of the dead from the water and gives them a new life as crewmembers who will pass eternity partying and celebrating. The Magical Ship was created by el Millalobo for la Pincoya and her brothers for this purpose.

Cursed Ship of Sailors and Enslaved Fishermen
Another version of this tale says that the Mystical Ship would also appear in the seas of Chiloé to fascinate the fishermen with beautiful music, and upon doing so they would be converted to enslaved crewmembers who are cursed forever with a leg attached to their back as an Ivunche, forced to work on the ship for all of eternity.

Magical Transport Ship of Sorcerers of Chiloé
As common as the tale of a haunted ship of dead and enslaved sailors, there also exists a version of this tale where the Magical Ship houses sorcerers of Chiloé, and they party and transport merchandise. It is also stated that the sorcerers return from a voyage that they make every 3 months in order to strengthen their powers. It is said that only crewmembers can board the ship and use the Caballo marino Chilote as a form of transportation. Per Millalobo’s orders, it is prohibited that others board or enter the ship by any means.

Another version is that the crew of the Caleuche makes magical pacts with certain traders ensuring them prosperity in exchange for favors such as using their houses for parties or other illegal or dark purposes. Because of this version of the legend when a person in Chiloé gets rich quickly, it is often attributed to his having made a pact with the crew of the Caleuche. Rumors like these were rampant following the 1960 Valdivia earthquake because some houses were untouched by the fires that swept through Chiloé afterwards. In that same decade there were stories that the sounds of a ship dropping anchor could be heard around the houses of many prosperous merchants in the Chiloé archipelago. These were supposedly the sounds of the Caleuche stealthily delivering goods and treasures to those with whom it had a pact. However, most people rejected this supernatural explanation and instead blamed the merchant's prosperity on mortal, rather than supernatural, smugglers.

In media
The legend of the Caleuche is referred to in Alastair Reynolds' 2001 novel Chasm City, when the Chilean crewmembers of a generation ship discover a "ghost ship" trailing the flotilla of colony vessels and dub the ship Caleuche.

The Caleuche is a living vessel which travels the world, carrying a crew of monster hunters in The Luke Coles Book Series by Josh Walker.

The Caleuche is a ghost pirate ship that sails around the globe, captained by the Sirena Chilota mermaid from the original legends in The Vampire Blade Book Series by M.C. Waring.

In film and television, Raúl Ruiz's Three Crowns of the Sailor (1983) and Litoral (2008) and Jorge Olguín's Caleuche: The Call of the Sea (2012) are all loosely inspired by the legend.

Scientific namesakes
Caleuche Chasma, the deepest canyon on the moon Charon, is named after the Caleuche. The exoplanet HD 164604 b is also formally named Caleuche.

Disney's Wilderness Lodge

Disney's Wilderness Lodge is a resort hotel located at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Opened on May 28, 1994, the resort is owned and operated by Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products. Disney's Wilderness Lodge is located in the Magic Kingdom Resort Area on Bay Lake. The resort is located near Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. A similarly themed resort, Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, is located at the Disneyland Resort in California.

There are two Disney Vacation Club properties located at Disney's Wilderness Lodge. The Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge opened on November 15, 2000. The Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney's Wilderness Lodge opened on July 17, 2017.

Resort
Disney's Wilderness Lodge hotel was designed by Peter Dominick. It is modeled after the atmosphere of the national parks of the western United States and features both natural and Native American elements. The main building was modeled after the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park. An artificial geyser and hot springs are located on the resort grounds. The resort has eight floors of lodgepole pine imported from Oregon, as well as 55-foot authentic totem poles and an 82-foot fireplace representing the colourful rocks of the Grand Canyon. This display represents Northwestern Native American artifacts, myths, legends, and stories. The Lodge is a 4-star deluxe Walt Disney World resort. Lodge guests have access to restaurants, a spa and fitness centre, themed pools, jacuzzi hot tubs, a kids' zone and babysitting centre, and fun and educational activities for adults and children.

Boat transportation is available to the Magic Kingdom, Disney's Contemporary Resort, and Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.

In November 2007, the resort received a designation as part of the Florida Green Lodging Program.

Dining
Storybook Dining at Artist Point is a Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs character meet-and-greet offering classic American food.

Whispering Canyon Cafe is an Old West-themed eatery featuring all-you-can-eat skillets and wooden stick horses.

Geyser Point Bar & Grill is a waterfront bar and grill.

Roaring Fork is a quick-service eatery serving popular breakfast, lunch, and dinner dishes.

Territory Lounge is the resort's bar, offering craft brews and wine, as well as appetizers.

Recreation
Copper Creek Springs Pool is the resort's main and largest pool, featuring a 67-foot waterslide.

Boulder Ridge Cove Pool is the second and smallest pool at the resort.

Buttons and Bells Arcade is the resort's arcade, featuring various games.

The resort also hosts campfire activities, movies under the stars and guided fishing excursions as well as bike and motorized boat rentals.

Transportation
Disney's Wilderness Lodge is serviced by Disney Transport's bus and watercraft services. The bus transportation is available to all four theme parks, both water parks, Disney Springs, and Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. Meanwhile, the watercraft service is exclusive to Magic Kingdom.

Boulder Ridge Villas
Originally known as The Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, a Disney Vacation Club timeshare resort on the site was announced in 1998, and the property first accepted guests in November 2000. The Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge are adjacent to Disney's Wilderness Lodge, whose design is based on the National Park lodges of America's western states. The Vacation Club Villas are themed after the antecedent lodgings built by railroad workers in the late 19th century. The main building for the villas has railroad artwork and memorabilia on display, including two train cars from Walt Disney's rideable miniature Carolwood Pacific Railroad. The accommodations include Studio units with a kitchenette, as well as one- and two-bedroom villas with a larger kitchen and living space. In late 2015, Disney began an extensive building project to expand the Villas with waterside units similar to those found over the water at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, as well as recreation and dining facilities.

Copper Creek Villas & Cabins
These cabins opened in Summer 2017 as the second DVC property at the resort, which consists of 26 Cascade Cabins. The Cascade Cabins were built along the shoreline of the resort and the entire South wing of the original resort building, which was converted from regular hotel rooms to 158 DVC units.

Ferydoon Zandi

Ferydoon Zandi (born 26 April 1979) is an Iranian retired professional footballer.

Early life
Zandi was born in the city of Emden, in northern Germany, to an Iranian father and a German mother. He speaks German and Persian. He started playing football at an early age when his talent shone through his playing for a number of youth clubs in and near his hometown.

Germany
Zandi was called up for the Germany under-17 national football team and played for SV Meppen before being signed by SC Freiburg. There, he failed to establish himself as a starter and was traded to the 2. Bundesliga club VfB Lübeck. After struggling again initially, Zandi broke through and established himself as one of the most dangerous and versatile attackers of the league. He regularly was one of the top scorers and assist givers.

After enjoying two successful seasons in Lübeck, he was signed by 1. FC Kaiserslautern in 2004 and given the number 10.

In the 2005–06 season, in which 1. FCK fell to the end of the table, he lost his position as a starting playmaker, was benched for a longer period of time, and had periods when he failed to be nominated as a bench player at all. Trainer Wolfgang Wolf refused to play him in the second half of the season, and after the relegation of the club, Zandi was confirmed to be cut from the squad. Also, Amir Ghalenoei, the new manager of Iran national team, did not invite Ferydoon to the Iranian squad for the AFC Asian Cup qualification games.

In September 2006, he signed a one-year contract with 2. Bundesliga club TuS Koblenz, which he left in January 2007 due to the limited number of appearance he made.

Cyprus
On 2 January 2007, Zandi signed a contract till the end of the 2006–07 season with Apollon Limassol of Cyprus.

After his return from the 2007 AFC Asian Cup he was linked with moves to Steaua București, Rapid București and Birmingham City.

On 18 January 2008, he joined Olympiakos Nicosia.

On 24 March 2009, Zandi signed Alki Larnaca for a one-year contract where he became the top scorer.

Iran
Zandi joined the Iranian side Steel Azin in 2009 and stayed there for two seasons. After the relegation of Steel Azin he left the club and in August 2011 he joined to Esteghlal but he started season with an injury. On 22 October 2011, he made his debut for Esteghlal and made an assist against Zob Ahan Esfahan F.C. He won the Hazfi Cup in his first season.

Having been released by Esteghlal on 29 September 2012 Zandi joined the Qatari side Al Ahli. On 5 November 2015, he announced his retirement.

International career
Raised in Germany, Zandi did not initially have the permission to play for his ancestral Iran as he did not have Iranian citizenship. However, the Iranian Football Federation obtained permission for him to play for them, and Zandi began to compete on the Iran national team in the second round of 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification against Bahrain. After the qualifications he did not compete again on the team until being invited again for the 2007 AFC Asian Cup.

He was recalled to the national squad in March 2007 for a friendly against Qatar, included in the Asian Cup squad, and was featured for Iran in the friendly match against Mexico in June 2007. On 15 July 2007, Zandi scored from a free kick for Iran in their 2–2 draw versus China in the Asian Cup.

Zandi also played for Iran in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification where after the departure of Ali Daei he was not invited for around a year and was invited again by Afshin Ghotbi for a couple of performances but was dropped again. He was invited again after around 18 months by Carlos Queiroz for a friendly in May 2012 against Albania where before the match On 28 May 2012, Zandi announced his retirement from International football.

Dynamo Dresden
After signing as assistant coach of 2. Bundesliga club Dynamo Dresden in 2020, he was named head coach in March 2022 after Alexander Schmidt was sacked, but was replaced just two days later without managing a match.

Traffic accident
In 2005, Zandi was victim of a heavy traffic accident on a highway. When another car swerved to the left directly in front of him, Zandi had to evade and crashed into a lorry of the US Army. The lorry took heavy damage, and Zandi's car was utterly wrecked. Zandi made it out with minor injuries only.

La Luna (Sarah Brightman album)

La Luna (Italian and Spanish for "the Moon") is the seventh album recorded by English soprano Sarah Brightman in 2000. It was released under license by Nemo Studios to Angel Records. The album combines pieces written by classical and modern composers. It is the 17th top-selling classical album of the 2000s in the US, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and is Brightman's second highest seller in the country after her 1997 release Timeless/Time to Say Goodbye. Aside from the US, the album experienced its strongest sales in Asia, where it received a quintuple platinum certification in Taiwan and earned Brightman's first Gold award in Japan.

Album information
The classical pieces are "How Fair This Place" ("Здесь хорошо") by Rachmaninov; "Figlio Perduto" is based on the second movement "Allegretto" of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 7; "Solo Con Te" is based on Siegfried Ochs' (attributed to Handel) Dank sei dir, Herr; "La Luna" is an adapted Italian version of the aria "Song to the Moon" from Dvořák's opera Rusalka. With La Luna, Brightman combined elements of classical singing with her newer style of pop music. "Hijo de la Luna" is a cover originally performed by the Spanish synthpop band Mecano. "La Califfa", composed by Ennio Morricone, is the title track of the 1970 Italian film with the same name. The underlying concept of the album is the moon.

Europe
This original European track listing is now out of print. All pressings now use the USA track listing, along with its versions of "This Love", "Here with Me", and "La Luna". It also replaces "How Fair This Spot" and "She Doesn't See Him" with the lyrically different "How Fair This Place" and "He Doesn't See Me". "La Luna" is performed in full soprano here compared to the more contemporary USA version and "First of May" is removed all together from later releases.

United States
La Luna was changed considerably for its US release. Song additions include "La Lune", "Winter in July", and Brightman's covers of the Procol Harum classic "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and Henry Mancini's "Moon River". Song changes include replacing the European release's versions of "How Fair This Spot" and "She Doesn't See Him" with the lyrically different "How Fair This Place" and "He Doesn't See Me", along with an extended version of "Serenade" and a more contemporary "La Luna". EMI later used La Luna US version for their SACD 5.1 release of the album.

Singles
"Scarborough Fair" was released as the album's lead single in January 2000. It became the biggest hit of Brightman's career in Asia and was a chart topper in China and Taiwan, propelling the sales of La Luna throughout the continent. Brightman brought the song renewed popularity in eastern markets through her successful adaptation.

"A Whiter Shade of Pale" was released as the album's third single on early 2001. The single debuted at number thirty eight on the Japanese Singles Chart, and due to its massive airplay in the country, the song reached the top of the International Singles Chart, staying there for nineteen weeks. It is the tenth single with most cumulative weeks at the No. 1 spot in the history of this chart. The song was certified twice Gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan. The first time, as a CD single, denoting shipments of over 50,000 copies, and the second time, in 2011, as a digital single, denoting sales of 100,000 copies. In the United States, the song was Brightman's first entry into the Billboard's top Dance/Club Play Songs chart.

The second and fourth singles from the album, "La Luna" (2000) and "Here with Me" (2001) were released in Brazil and Europe respectively in a limited number of pressings.

Fear and Trembling (novel)

Fear and Trembling (original title: Stupeur et tremblements, which means "Stupefaction and trembling") is a fictional, satirical novel by Amélie Nothomb, first published in 1999, and translated into English by Adriana Hunter in 2001. It was awarded the Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française that year. It was adapted into the film Fear and Trembling in 2003.

Plot
Amélie, a young Belgian woman who spent the first five years of her life in Japan, returns to Japan as a young adult, signing a one-year contract as a translator at the prestigious company Yumimoto. Through a series of comical cultural misunderstandings, Amélie, who begins at the bottom of the corporate ladder, manages to descend even lower. During her time at Yumimoto, she is the direct subordinate of Fubuki Mori, whose friendly demeanor quickly disappears when Amélie unwittingly oversteps herself.

Bored and frustrated with how she is apparently not assigned to do anything productive, Amélie tries to take the initiative by memorizing the company's list of employees and delivering the mail, only to be reprimanded for "stealing someone else's job." When she is assigned to photocopy the departmental manager's documents, which she discovers are the rules to his golf club, Amelie is forced to redo her work when the manager returns it with the complaint that the copies are off-centre and that she must not use the feeder for the copier. While she is redoing the task, the kindly Mr. Tenshi takes notice of her and asks for her help in drafting a report about the new method of manufacturing reduced-fat butter developed in Belgium. Amélie's contributions to Mr. Tenshi's report make it a big success and she requests not to be given credit. Though it seems her transfer to Mr. Tenshi's department is imminent, Fubuki feels offended as this constitutes a violation of the company's hierarchy and she exposes everything to the vice-president, who severely scolds Mr. Tenshi and Amélie, and sees to it that Amélie writes no more reports and strictly sticks to doing duties assigned by Ms. Mori.

Although advised by Mr. Tenshi not to do so, Amélie decides to confront Ms. Mori and talk to her personally. This encounter can be seen as the main juncture of the novel, as both characters feel the other should apologise, but at the same time each of them fails to recognise why she herself should do the same.

The main difference is that while Amélie feels her progress in her career from useless work to the place where she actually can use her skills has been hindered for no other reason than maliciousness, Ms Mori interprets Amélie's move as being against her as Amélie was trying to pass her by, thus violating the correct hierarchy. Ms Mori had to suffer and work hard for years to achieve her position and it was inconceivable to her to imagine that Amélie might achieve the same level of hierarchy within only a couple of weeks.

From that point on, the relationship between them changes from a fairly good one (which, though, only Amélie would describe as 'friendship') to animosity, although still accompanied by respect and admiration from Amélie's side, which Ms Mori either fails to notice or chooses to ignore.

Amélie proves herself useless at the tasks she is subsequently asked to do in the Accounts Department, as she apparently suffers from dyscalculia to some extent, while Ms Mori thinks Amélie is making mistakes on purpose to sabotage the company and the manager herself.

Another dialogue reveals the differences between the different concepts of responsibility in Japanese and Western cultures. While for Ms Mori the manager is directly responsible for the mistakes of their staff (You made the mistakes deliberately only to expose me to the public ridicule), Amélie thinks everybody is responsible for their own mistakes (I ridiculed only myself, not you).

The biggest mistake Amélie commits comes after Ms Mori has been severely abused by the vice-president in front of all the department. When Ms Mori, not having shown tears to her colleagues, goes to the bathroom to let her feelings out in private, Amélie follows her to console her. While from Amélie's point of view Ms Mori is not in a shameful position and offering a consolation like that is only a kind-hearted gesture, Ms Mori feels utterly ashamed to be seen showing her feelings and misunderstands Amélie's following her as vengefulness and hostility.

The next day Amélie is assigned the job of a bathroom cleaner by Ms Mori. With six more months of her one-year contract to go, Amélie decides to endure until the end, which might be shameful from the Western point of view, but from the Japanese point of view means not losing face.

After her contract finishes in January 1991, she returns to Belgium and starts publishing: her first novel Hygiène de l'assassin appearing in 1992, she receives a brief congratulation note from Ms Mori in 1993.

Explanation of title
According to the novel, in Japan, protocol states that in the presence of the Emperor, who until 1947 had been considered a living god, a person must demonstrate his or her reverence with fear and trembling, though most Japanese citizens today are unaware of this injunction.

Talk:Web feed

rewrite
Much of this article is not in the encyclopedic style of the rest of Wikipedia. I suggest taking the "technical" definition and moving it to the top of the page. The rest is written in the style one would find in an email explaining things to grandma. 67.171.43.170 19:33, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

ow do you get a web feed of wikipedia itself?

Try Syndication

/Tina

Proposal to Merge Web Syndication into Web feed article
My feeling is that both of these articles are underdeveloped and are describing the same thing. A decent solution is to merge web syndication into the web feed article. --Ben Houston 15:54, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Why merge web syndication into web feed instead of the other way around? Web feed is far more popular term: --Ben Houston 16:07, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * "web syndication" - 104,000 Google hits
 * "web feed" - 931,000 Google hits

 * I agree with Ben that merging these is a good idea. betsythedevine 19:05, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Did ben just suggest something and then argue with himself? Does it really matter that much that they are two seperate articles? If they're linked to each other, why not keep it the way it is? If I'm blogging and I want to write syndication instead of feed, or the other way around, and then link to Wikipedia's definition of it, it's more convenient for me to have the two seperate articles at my disposal.

If they are merged, I think that "Web Syndication" is a better title regardless of its popularity; it's a more accurate term. How many ways can you use the word "syndication" vs. how many ways can you use the word "feed." Besides, if it's under the "Web Syndication" title, it ought to still show up in google.

--jdoolittle 23:07, 17 February 2006 (JST)

 * Hey jdoolittle. I don't think I contradicted myself -- can you clarify.  Both article titles will still work, its just that web syndication will be redirected (with a notice) to the web feed article.  Thus you can still link to it as "web syndication" and get the content.  We will also still explain web syndication in the article and use that term where appropriate.  I guess I am trying to consolidate similar topics so that effort isn't diffused between too many articles.  --Ben Houston 15:46, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Hey Ben. I didn't mean that in a hostile way, and I can see that you weren't; I just _assumed_ that your first post indicated that you wanted the "Web Syndication" title over the "Feed" title, and then, in your second post, you clearly state your preference for the "Feed" title over "Web Syndication."  I should have made that assumption.

 * I think that what you're proposing sounds reasonable, and I'd like to thank you for expalinging it further. --jdoolittle  20:38, 20 February 2006 (JST)

these two articles should be merged... (unsigned comment by 151.193.220.27)

For what it's worth, I kind of disagree. As I've seen the terminology, feed (ie, the RSS file or whatnot) is what the web server offers; syndication is the act of offering the feed for users. At least that's how I've heard it most often. So I think it should be merged the other way around! --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 13:23, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Oreilly sells a .pdf called "What Are Syndication Feeds?" by Shelley Powers. I don't know if that is the "official" term or not but it presents a compromise. The term "feed" refers to the way in which the information is distributed. Syndication refers to its format. You can have live news feeds on the web; live radio feeds on the web. Would you consider them to be "web feeds?" Web syndication could refer to any blog or news site. "Syndication Feed" refers specifically to reverse chronological entries that are distributed as feeds.--Blaise Freeman March 6, 2006

These two articles should definitely NOT BE MERGED, there are tons of cases where web content is syndicated but no feeds exist. The goal here should not be to force people into reconsidering what syndication is, or what it is called, based on the convenience of Wikipedia authors. And for the record, Syndication is clearly the parent topic and Feed the child, so if they're merged, Syndication should be the ultimate destination with a "section" on Feeds.--Concerned Citizen April 28, 2006

These two articles should NOT BE MERGED because they do not describe the same exact concept. Web syndication emcompasses the concept of Web feed.

I *OPPOSE* to a merge for reasons stated above. Martijn Hoekstra 08:02, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

As of present the count is 2-5 *against* a merger. The tag is now 5 months old, so I think I can safely take it down.... Martijn Hoekstra 08:02, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

So much for reasoning... Well, would any of you people who are *against* a merger help us by writing (metaphorically, I mean) the difference between the two on the article itself? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiknerd (talk • contribs) 17:23, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

use of second person
Shouldn't the "how to use it" section be less second person and more third?

-bizznot
 * For my money, no. It may offend traditional stylists, but Wikipedia doesn't pretend to be traditional in any other way, so I don't see why it should be traditional in this way without a good reason. In terms of being a "how to" article (and no-one I know says an encyclopaedia can't be (partly) a "how to" guide, the second person singular is the friendliest and most intuitive voice. When reading the article at first, I confess the second person voicing jarred, but then I thought, "hey, I like this". In terms of telling me what I wanted to know about RSS (I knew nothing), the use of second person was really effective. ElectricRay 09:14, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Many to many ?
I have no (very little) direct knowledge of Web Feeds etc. I manage mailing lists which they have many short comings do work for many people. (Any idea relative useage??) I noted the "benefits" on this page. But my question is to what degree are Web Feeds capable of being used by modestly savvy folks for many to many discussions? Fholson 00:47, 14 February 2007 (UTC) BTW I'm not a big contributor to wikis either - is it customary to add things to the bottom of Talk pages? If not how do you

Web feed capital W?
Shouldn't the word "http://www.apartemenalamsutera.com" start with a capital throughout the article? It does when you're talking about "the Web" in general (in Wikipedia anyway) and I don't really see a reason to just drop a cap. Retodon8 20:09, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Proposed cleanup of External Links
Cleanup is needed. I propose to remove everything in External Links that is not a mainstream source of information. The BBC stuff would be kept and the work of well-known people, like Mark Pilgrim. I would look at everything before deleting it. Please let me know if you object to this plan. EdJohnston 03:47, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Since no-one objected, I went ahead and did the cleanup of external links. The two that remain, one by Mark Pilgrim and the other by Dave Shea, are to the web sites of notable figures who have their own Wikipedia articles. I mentioned above that BBC would be kept, but then I noticed that the hidden section-header comment in External Links said not to link to any feed directories, so that ruled out the BBC link as well.

 * The main problem with the links that I removed was:
 * The linked sites were mostly self-published or blogs, which are 'normally to be avoided' per WP:EL.
 * The linked sites usually say nothing beyond what the article already says.
 * Please discuss here any specific links that you believe should be kept. Thanks, EdJohnston 21:10, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

External Link - A well written article
Found an interesting article that I think would add to the topic. I had originally thought it might be suitable on the RSS (file format) page, but it seems more useful here. It's a beginners guide, and is well written and geared towards a non-technical audience. It's not a how-to for producing feeds, but focuses on how to use RSS yourself, and seems a useful addition to the topic etc.

 * A Beginners Guide to Using RSS

Caesar0 17:51, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The same problem is seen here as with the other external links previously removed (see comments above):
 * Self-published personal sites are normally to be avoided, per WP:EL
 * Beginner presentations of material usually cover the same ground that our articles already cover.
 * If you feel that Calvin van Hoek's exposition is superior to ours, consider improving the existing text of our article. EdJohnston 18:59, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Far too severe approach towards links
That seems a bit severe. Following that example there would be no external links for any articles because they'd either be assumed irrelevant because the info can be added to the article (but isn't), or because there's assumptions made about the longevity or intent of the website. Doesn't it make sense to treat Wikipedia article links the same way other sites do, namely to extend the impact of the original article? You seem to be arguing to make Wikipedia completely self-contained, which is unrealistic.

It's laudable to monitor external links for spam and for irrelevant content, but your second claim basically says: if the link is any good, then update the Wikipedia article. That's like saying: don't bother letting people find information on Richard Dawkins' recent book The God Delusion, if there's anything relevant in it add it to the Atheism article. It totally misses the point of the potential for rich content, and this surely diminishes Wikipedia's role as a great starting point for research. In that scenario it would be useful to link to sites that broaden the appeal of the article, and help give interested readers a chance to find out more information beyond the scope of whatever they read on here. This is especially relevant for opinion-based articles, which would likely fall beyond the scope of Wikipedia.

In other words, your second point is based squarely on an incorrect assumption: that a single article on this site is the best way to 'capture' a topic. In my experience Wikipedia-type articles are good for 'fact' based articles, but less so for opinion. Are you really arguing that we should make a topic less useful because someone might, at some future date, add to the articles on here?

I'm afraid this is a little myopic for my tastes. But fine, I'll not add the link. Thanks for taking the time to check and update the discussion.

Caesar0 20:47, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * If you disagree with Wikipedia's current policy on external links, you are welcome to start a discussion at Wikipedia_talk:External links. RSS and Web Feeds are both topics where there are literally millions of Google hits. It is hard to see external links as being a scarce and valuable resource in that context.  If we were talking about a rare species of butterfly, then helpful links might be genuinely  hard to find. EdJohnston 23:24, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm not, I was referring to your reasoning, which seems to exclude the idea that even with a popular topic like this there can be merit in providing an array of links that focus on elements beyond the scope of the article. If what you're implying is that Wikipedia should only endeavour to supply some information, with the rest available via commercial search engines, then I guess we see the role of this site differently. Caesar0 16:05, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * What rule do you think we should follow in picking one or two links to include when ten million such links are available? Does each person use their own judgment, or do we have a discussion first? If we have a discussion, how is it to be conducted? Does the person whose web site it is get to add the link themselves? It concerns me that you have added links to a site of Calvin van Hoek to more than one article. Generally it is much better for new editors to add article content rather than links, because it avoids becoming the center of attention for the anti-spam folks. EdJohnston 21:51, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

I am new to the terms RSS, syndication and Web feeds. After reading the Wikipedia content on these terms, I was no more enlightened. They are full of tech jargon that assumes a high level of prior knowledge. The article referred to above by "Caesar0" and the video clip referred to below by "Bernd_in_Japan"  finally turned on the light. I guess the learning I take away is to always check the discussion page if the article content is incomprehensible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BillgTO (talk • contribs) 19:29, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Proposal to add link to a 4 minute video explaining feeds and RSS
Even though I was exposed to multiple articles on RSS and explanations newsfeeds by collagues, I did not get the point until one showed me how he uses it. Then someone recommended this CC-licensed video. Now I really got it. I propose to add it to external links.RSS in plain English. Bernd in Japan 00:10, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The video is cute, but it could be more helpful to our readers to summarize the content of the video and add it to the article in text form. It is possible that others may object to adding the external link. There is also the injunction that Wikipedia is not a how-to. -- EdJohnston (talk) 21:14, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Is JSON Feed really all that common?
JSON feeds are listed as being a common format, but it certainly doesn't feel like such. There's a handful of readers and aggregators that do support it, but finding sites that actually offer their feeds in said format is harder. Are there any sources backing JSON feed as being considered common, or at least some rationale as to what constitutes "common"?185.163.103.83 (talk) 23:01, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Trauco

In the traditional Chilote mythology of Chiloé, Chile, the Trauco is a humanoid creature of small stature—similar to a dwarf or goblin—who lives deep in the forest. It has an ugly face and legs without feet.

Legend
The Trauco is a mythical entity that inhabits the woods of Chiloé, an island in the south of Chile. It is a child of the snake god Coi Coi-Vilu. It has a powerful magnetism that attracts young and middle-aged women. According to myth, the Trauco's wife is the wicked and ugly Fiura. The Trauco carries a small stone-headed hatchet that he uses to strike trees in the forest to symbolize his sexual potency.

Upon being chosen by him, any woman—even if she's asleep—will go to the Trauco; bewitched and helpless against his sexual allure, she falls at his feet and proceeds to engage in sexual intercourse with him. Some men of Chiloé fear the Trauco, as they believe his gaze can be deadly.

When a single woman is pregnant and no one steps forward as the father, people assume that Trauco is the father. Because the creature is irresistible, the woman is considered blameless. The Trauco is sometimes invoked to explain sudden or unwanted pregnancies, especially in unmarried women.

Edith Rebolledo Muller, MSc in Sociology, states the following: "In fact, teen pregnancy has its explanation in this myth as a way to justify this shame. Then it will be cleansed by marriage, as an institution that allows regulating and holding bodies into submission".

Media
The Trauco appears in The Luke Coles Book Series by Josh Walker, where he functions as an antagonist in some of the subplots.

Wikipedia:Don't stuff beans up your nose

As an old story goes: "The little boy's mother was going off to the market. She worried about her son, who was always up to some mischief. She sternly admonished him, "Be good. Don't get into trouble. Don't eat all the chocolate. Don't spill all the milk. Don't throw stones at the cow. Don't fall down the well." The boy had done all of these things on previous market days. Hoping to head off new trouble, she added, "And don't stuff beans up your nose!" This was a new idea for the boy, who promptly tried it out."

In our zeal to head off others' unwise actions, we may put forth ideas they have not entertained before. It may be wise not to caution against such possibilities. Prophylactic admonition may trigger novel mischief. As the popular saying goes, "don't give 'em any ideas". In other words, don't give examples of how to cause disruption (e.g., don't go to this link or you will crash Wikipedia) because this may will actually tempt people to do it. So, the boy's mother could have considered saying the following instead: "Keep your nose clean!"

Modern essay usage
Throughout the 19 years this essay has existed, it has adopted a different meaning than the above text suggests. There are many areas of the encyclopedia that rely on, or benefit from, some level of security through obscurity, such as WP:SPI. For this reason — citing this essay — details of cases and abuse mitigation are often left undiscussed on-wiki. An essay explaining this more in-depth is There's a reason you don't know.

 * "Beans in My Ears," a 1960s song

Regarding the certification in Taiwan. As has been discussed in multiple other articles, Gold Typhoon was found to award Sarah Brightman certifications which are unofficial - the official authority in Taiwan is RIT.

HP WinRunner

HP WinRunner software was an automated functional GUI testing tool that allowed a user to record and play back user interface (UI) interactions as test scripts.

As a functional test suite, it worked with HP QuickTest Professional and supported enterprise quality assurance. It captured, verified and replayed user interactions automatically, in order to identify defects and determine whether business processes worked as designed.

The software implemented a proprietary Test Script Language (TSL) that allowed customization and parameterization of user input.

HP WinRunner was originally written by Mercury Interactive. Mercury Interactive was subsequently acquired by Hewlett Packard (HP) in 2006. On February 15, 2008, HP Software Division announced the end of support for HP WinRunner versions 7.5, 7.6, 8.0, 8.2, 9.2—suggesting migration to HP Functional Testing software as a replacement.
