Talk:History of the Jews in China

Rework necessary?
Does anyone else feel the article (esp. first segment) should be re-organized, in more encyclopedic fashion? ~ Dpr 01:10, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Does my "yea" count as vote 1 or vote 2? Tomer TALK 07:43, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)

Diao jin jiao
Can we get a confirmation on which characters would be correct for this phrase? Thanks ~ Dpr 05:40, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * The Chinese Wikipedia gives only 挑筋教 tiao jin jiao, which means "the religion that picks away the sinew". (Actually, the Chinese Wikipedia gives a very long list of ancient terms for the Jewish community, but no diao jin jiao.) Still looking... -- ran (talk) 06:56, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * This must be the same phrase; it is the same meaning of the one I was looking for. The pinyin error must have been mine. Thanks! ~ Dpr 17:01, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

No mention of the crusades
Somewhere in my collection of Judaica I have a book about the Jews in China. From what I can remember, it indicated that a large number of Jews migrated to China during a Christian crudase (my memory thinks it was 1066 CE).

According to my poor memory, the Emperor welcomed the Jews, and assigned them seven last names. Some people in the 20th century are just discovering their Jewish heritage.

I will look for the book, if anyone is interested.

 * Jeffrey, any information you had would be great! Thanks! ~ Dpr 16:59, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I think the book you are thinking of is either "Legends of the Chinese Jews of Kaifeng" or "The Jews of Kaifeng, China: History, Culture, and Religion", both of which are by Prof. Xu, Xin, professor of Judaic studies at Nanjing University. As I'm sure you know, the First Crusade didn't take place until 1095 which is well after 1066. Actually, in the book in question it states the "1090's". The stories and histories from each book are based on "oral" traditions passed on by descendents of the Kaifeng jews. However, the book, "The Kaifeng Stone Inscpritons: The Legacy of the Jewish Community In Ancient China" gives a more plausible history for when the Jews came to China. SEE Kaifeng_Jews.

挑筋教 or 扚筋教
Which is the correct spelling? Tomer TALK 23:21, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * I've changed it to the former spelling, as that is what is apparently used in the chinese wp. Tomer TALK  23:26, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

Functionally extinct?
Dpr, I see you've revisited this page. You changed the article a while ago to say that Judaism in China is "functionally extinct". I pointed out to you at the time (on your talk page) that there are a number of synagogues in China: in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing. How can Judaism be "functionally extinct" (whatever that means) if synagogues are being maintained in at least 3 synagogues cities? Tomer TALK 23:25, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

 * To be frank I don't know if it was I who introduced that language or not; if it was, I don't know where I got it from. Regardless of what I or anyone else wrote in the past, I completely agree that this language is incorrect and should be removed. Thanks for your hard work on this page. ~ Dpr 01:21, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * My hard work?! Yours is phenomenal! :-)  I like your rework so much that I took the  tag off the article.  Tomer TALK  05:19, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Title
Should this page really be History of the Jews in China? Why is Jews in China not preferrable? I maintain the latter to be preferrable since, as we just discussed above, there are still Jews in China, therefore unless we are to create a new, distinct article for Jews in China or Judaism in China (all of which current redir. to this one, now), this presents an ambiguity, since the topic is not merely "history" but also a current-day development. ~ Dpr 01:21, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * This is following the current naming convention for articles about the Jews in various places. See History of the Jews in the United States, History of the Jews in Poland, History of the Jews in France, and about 20 others. Many of these articles cover the present community as well, but they are focused on telling the whole story of the presence of Jews in the relevant country, just as this one does. Consistancy in naming conventions is worth preserving. --Goodoldpolonius2 01:31, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Now I understand. Thanks for explaining this. Sorry for my ignorance on the convention. ~ Dpr 02:06, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Clean-up tag
Should the clean-up tag be now removed? ~ Dpr 02:12, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Done. Thanks again for your hard work.  :-)  Tomer TALK  05:23, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Names for Jewish Chinese
Can we get a source for the Lanmao Hui? Pretty interesting addition! ~ Dpr 02:01, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, my source is the old man who runs a little shop around the corner from where the Kaifeng temple used to be and keeps a box of related memorabilia. A google search yields only one hit, in Japanese.  I know no Japanese, but looking at the pictures and the kanji, it does seem to offer some corroboration.  — Pekinensis 16:42, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually, there is confirmation at &. — Pekinensis 15:09, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Check References
Someone added two references:http: http://jewcn.com and http://jewcn.org Can someone who reads Chinese have a look at these? The fact that they flash "hot" in a bunch of places make me doubt their legitimacy. DHR 03:30, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Duplicate content with Kaifeng Jews
There's a bit of duplicate content on this article with Kaifeng Jews, especially in the history section. Should the duplicate content be merged? --- Hong Qi Gong 17:37, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It seems to me that the duplicate content is brief enough and relevant enough to this article that it ought to stay. If it was going into extensive detail about the Kaifeng situation, and including significant amounts of material not relevant to the overall History of the Jews in China, I'd say get rid of it. But as it stands, I'm not really sure what would be removed without damaging the continuity and thoroughness of the article. LordAmeth 02:36, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

New Assessment Criteria for Ethnic Groups articles
Hello,

WikiProject Ethnic groups has added new assessment criteria for Ethnic Groups articles.

I rated the History of the Jews in China article: B-Class, with the following comments (see link to Comments page in the Ethnic groups template atop this talk page):
 * This article is unusually well-developed.
 * It only lacks referencing. With proper referencing, I would have rated it class=A.

You can give this article (and any other article) a rating, as described below.

 * -->How to assess articles

Revisions of assessment ratings can be made by assigning an appropriate value via the class parameter in the WikiProject Ethnic groups project banner Ethnic groups that is currently placed at the top of Ethnic groups articles' talk pages. Quality assessment guidelines are at the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team's assessment system page. After rating the article, please provide a short summary to explain your ratings and/or identify the strengths and weaknesses. To add the summary, please edit this article's ratings summary page. A link to this page can be found in the Ethnic groups template on the article's talk page.

Please see the Project's article rating and assessment scheme for more information and the details and criteria for each rating value. A brief version can be found at Template talk:Ethnic groups. You can also enquire at the Ethnic groups Project's main discussion board for assistance.

Another way to help out that could be an enjoyable pastime is to visit Category:Unassessed Ethnic groups articles, find an interesting-looking article to read, and carefully assess it following those guidelines.

Thanks! --Ling.Nut 16:25, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Literature
This was recently deleted from the article; I'm not sure whether or not I think it belongs in the article, but it is interesting, and so rather than lose it, I'm recovering it to here. LordAmeth 09:52, 21 November 2006 (UTC) - 	In the book, The Kaifeng Stone Inscriptions: The Legacy of the Jewish Community in Ancient China (ISBN 0-59-537340-2), Mr. Tiberiu Weiz, a teacher of Hebrew history and Chinese religion, presents his own translations of the 1489, 1512, and 1663 stone steles left by the descendents of the Kaifeng Jews. (These steles were left to preserve their religion and to briefly touch on their origins, since the Jewish community was slowly dying out from Chinese assimilation). His translation reveals one of many proposed origins of the Kaifeng Jews. - 		 - 	According to Mr. Weiz, after the Babylonian exile and Diaspora of the 6th century BCE, disenchanted Levites and Kohanim parted with the Prophet Ezra (because of a prohibition against taking foreign wives and the decree encouraging “intermarriage” within the Jewish tribes) and disappeared never to be heard from again. Mr. Weiz believes these Jews settled in Northwestern India or 天竺 Tiānzhú (“Heaven India,” as it is called in one of the Kaifeng steles), where they lived for centuries. - 		 - 	Prior to 108 BCE, these Jews had migrated from northwestern India to the Ningxia region of modern day Gansu province, China and were spotted by a Chinese general, Li Guangli, who was sent to invade the “western region” (西域 Xīyù in Chinese) to expand the borders of Han Dynasty China. From this time until the latter part of the Tang Dynasty, the Jews slowly dispersed throughout China, taking Chinese wives, and siring “half-Chinese, half-barbarian” children. In the "Great Anti-Buddhist Persecution" (845-46), Buddhism and other foreign religions—Zoroastrianism, Manichaeanism, Nestorian Christianity, Islam and Judaism—-were forced from China proper back to its outlying territories under the supervision of the Khitan tribes (including the Ningixa region) and all foreign temples were burnt to make way for their Confucian and Taoist counterparts, the native religions of China. - 		 - 	It was not until the early Northern Song Dynasty, when Emperor Taizong, a man with a great thirst for knowledge, sent out envoys to every corner of Asia to learn from and recruit foreign scholars, did the Jews return to China. According to former translations of the steles, the Chinese word Guī 歸 (in the Emperor’s speech to the Jews) was wrongly translated as “come,” leading most western and Chinese historians to believe the Jews first came to China during the Song dynasty. However, Mr. Weisz translates Guī 歸 as the proper “return,” meaning the Emperor was aware of the Jews’ former Chinese citizenship and was welcoming them back to China. He then allowed them to stay under the protection of the Song Empire and to continue to practice the religion of the fore-fathers.

Ricci and Ngai
The story of Ricci and Ngai is repeated in many secondary sources, but I would really like to read the original contemporary account of this incident. None of the secondary sources seem to say where this anecdote was first published. Can anyone help me find this? --Iustinus 06:05, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Holocaust vs Extermination
'Holocaust' is an inaccurate, as well as religiously denoted term to describe the ethnic cleansing policies of Germany (1933-1945). The term 'Extermination' is both etymologically and historically more consistent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Laocoont (talk • contribs) 08:21, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * What section of the page is this in reference to? --Ghostexorcist (talk) 18:33, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Whatever shortcomings, the term holocaust is consistently used, and understood, to refer to the Nazi policy of extermination of the Jews. It was so used, and wikilinked, in this article. To replace this with the term extermination, with a wikilink to a disambiguation page, is unhelpful. RolandR (talk) 11:44, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Kubo
The article cites Israelites Came To Ancient Japan, a website by Arimasa Kubo. What are the grounds for taking this as a RS? -- Hoary (talk) 05:01, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I've quickly scanned through the page and the material is in line with what I've read in various books or seen on the Nova tv series website. However, since the article does not list any sources, it does not pass WP:Reliable. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 09:36, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I don't think it would pass even if it did list sources. (One would have to look at the sources and see if they passed.) -- Hoary (talk) 02:43, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

 * The stone inscriptions left by the Jews mentions Judaism reaching China during the Han Dynasty. Several past researchers have taken this to mean that Kaifeng Jews settled in China during this time. But the consensus among scholars is that these researchers read the passage incorrectly. Some researchers believe mentioning the Han, and the Zhou in later inscriptions, is just a way of redacting their entry in order to say "I'm just as Chinese as you."

 * As far as the lost tribes are concerned, this subject was disproven as far back as the 18th century. Western church scholars believed the original Hebrew version of the Old Testament had been defaced by Jews because they thought it was impossible that it didn't specifically lay out the birth, life, ministry, and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. And because they couldn't find any pre-Christian additions of the Hebrew bible without the supposed redactions, they figured all Jews were in on the conspiracy. But when news of the Kaifeng Jews reached Europe, Church leaders thought they were one of the fabled lost tribes and no doubt had virgin editions of the Old testament. They sent representatives to China to procure these in order to compare them with bibles of Europe. However, they were exactly the same, meaning the Jews were definitely not one of the lost tribes. If you would like some citations, I would be happy to oblige. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 05:20, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

 * No thank you, although I do thank you for the offer. How about this simple statement in the introductory paragraph? Jewish settlers are documented in China as early as the 7th or 8th century CE, although it was once believed that they arrived much earlier. Then the section "Origins" would provide sourcing, not for the possibility that they arrived much earlier, but for the earlier belief among a significant number of scholars (working intelligently with assumptions, research methods, etc that we would now question) that they arrived much earlier. -- Hoary (talk) 10:36, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

 * There are scholars who still hold fast to the Han entry theory, so the "although it was once believed..." section should be rephrased a little to reflect this. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 11:22, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

[Bouncing left] Can we be told who these scholars are?

Looking a bit longer at the article, I notice that in three places it cites The Kaifeng Stone Inscriptions by Tiberiu Weisz. The book sounds very sober, the kind of thing put out by a university press (if the author is lucky) or academic publisher (Brill) or anyway in installments in academic journals. This one, however, comes from a publisher called iUniverse. This seems to be undiscriminating, promoting itself as a vanity publisher (though of course this term is never used) for the discerning or ambitious. Now, I have some sympathy for vanity publishing (I've bought several such books that are excellent), but if a book is published in this way then Wikipedia should surely not be citing it other than in unusual circumstances; e.g. that it's an anthology of material that has previously reached the public via peer review in journals. Googling for the author (whose name is conveniently unusual) doesn't take me to any scholar. Am I missing something? -- Hoary (talk) 23:55, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Too many famous Jews
Can we please stop bombarding the page with links to famous Jews in China. That section has steadily grown to a list of 73 people. I think a split off article/list should be created to prevent the current page from being downgraded to simply a dumping site for links. Whoever writes the split off article should include a paragraph here and an accompanying link. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 04:43, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

 * I have already voiced my opinion above. If a "cap" is not instituted, the page will just become a huge list. I would also like to remind user:Mibelz of WP:Civil. I only have the page's best interest in mind, it is not an "arrogant" move. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 00:13, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

 * I thought of an idea that would satisfy both of us. Why not make a category called "Famous Jews in China"? That way all a reader has to do is click the category on a given article and they can view the list. A link to the category can be left on this page. Thoughts? --Ghostexorcist (talk) 10:28, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

"Overview"
In "Overview" the last paragraph should be removed unless it can be documented to reliable sources, since it constitutes editorial opinion. Any thoughts out there? American In Brazil (talk) 11:59, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Tone and Impartiality of Opening Paragraph
It seems that a minor edit war or the potential beginning of an edit war has broken out over the past few days. In my view, the issue is that the first paragraph both is extremely partial and greatly over-generalizes. It's most contentious parts appear to have mostly been written by user, who has reverted both my edit and the edit of which removed this opening paragraph.

The tone of the paragraph is far from encyclopedic, describing Chinese attitudes towards Jews as "congenial", "friendly", and even "warm"–all highly subjective and loaded terms. Furthermore, many of these statements are directly contradicted by the cited sources, such as this JPost article reporting about a local (Chinese) govt crackdown against Jewish religious freedom. Later in this article it also mentions how the Yuan dynasty banned circumcision as well as Kosher foods.

In light of this,, would you please allow the opening paragraph to be deleted or dramatically reworked? Connorboyle (talk) 22:34, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

 * I'll move the opening paragraph to a different section and change the subjective and overgeneralized toning. Backendgaming (talk) 00:52, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

History of the Jews in China → Judaism in China – This would seem to be the more straightforward title. It appears that there are other pages with a similar title structure, which may be worth considering moving as well. {{u| Sdkb  }}  talk 17:42, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Oppose Although I don't feel extremely strongly about it, to me the history of Jews as an ethnic group or population is different from the topic of the religion and how it operated in a given country. Taking a glance at the article it seems to mainly discuss the history of people and not of religion. --Dan Carkner (talk) 18:29, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the question of Judaism as religion vs. ethnicity is a perennial one. For here, Judaism in China is currently a redirect, so there's no broader page besides this one. I'd like to see this page expanded so that it covers demographics and other contemporary stuff more, and I think renaming might help encourage that. The page already uses "Jews and Judaism in China" as its bolded opening and has demographics in the infobox, so it's already partly there. {{u| Sdkb  }}  talk 19:39, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
 * True, about the redirect. My feeling though is that "History of X People in Y Place" article titles are very clear even if for social or cultural reasons the same concept could be expressed in another manner and would probably be received in the same way. I definitely understand that there is not a huge difference between the two so it's more a matter of clarity of the topic for me, especially for people who are coming to this with little preexisting knowledge (as is the case with many Wikipedia readers on a variety of topics). Just my take, anyways. Dan Carkner (talk) 20:30, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
 * Oppose. It seems to me that "Jews in China" is a broad topic which would cover the religion as well as other information about the ethnic/cultural group, whereas "Judaism in China" would only cover the religion. On that basis I prefer the current title. It's worth noting that other articles use titles similar to this one: History of the Jews in Germany, History of the Jews in Innsbruck, History of the Jews in South Africa, etc – maybe a broader discussion is needed at WT:WikiProject Judaism. —Mx.

Named for the founder of Perdue Farms, Arthur Perdue, it features the Eastern Shore Baseball Hall of Fame. The stadium seats 5,200 fans and opened in 1996.

As the second-largest seating venue in Salisbury, it also occasionally is used for concerts or other events. Until 2016, the larger Wicomico Youth and Civic Center had a real covenant against serving alcohol. As such, the stadium was chosen as the venue for Fernando Guerrero's middleweight title-winning boxing match in October 2009.

The University of Maryland Eastern Shore Hawks of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) played their 2018 and 2019 seasons at Perdue Stadium while Hawk Stadium in Princess Anne was renovated. Perdue Stadium hosted the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference baseball tournament from 2015 to 2017.

In 1998, the stadium hosted the Delmarva Rockfish, a team in the single-season Maryland Fall Baseball league.

Renovations
Perdue Stadium has undergone renovations, including a total field replacement, new seating, new video scoreboard, and a wraparound 360 degree deck, beginning in 2014. In June 2019 it was announced that at the beginning of August the protective netting behind home plate would be extended from the near ends of each dugout to the far ends of each dugout.

Bakers Narrows

Bakers Narrows, Manitoba, is a small residential community approximately 20 km southeast of Flin Flon on Lake Athapapuskow. There are five subdivisions located near the lakeshore with a total of approximately 150 cottages, many of which are permanent residences.

Description
The community consists of both winterized homes and seasonal cottages. It straddles the North Arm and Little Athapap sections of Lake Athapapuskow and lies within Bakers Narrows Provincial Park. It is the location of the Flin Flon Airport and the Flin Flon/Bakers Narrows Water Aerodrome.

The remote community is surrounded by Precambrian boreal forest, a mixed forest of coniferous and deciduous trees of the Canadian Shield. There are stands of black spruce, jack pine, white spruce, and trembling aspen. The area is home to moose, black bear, lynx, wolf, and beaver. Bird species include raven, common loon, spruce grouse, bald eagle and hawk owl. There is some trapping and hunting, and recreational fishing is popular.

History
The narrows have been inhabited since prehistoric times. Archaeological digs at Bakers Narrows Provincial Park revealed pottery, arrowheads, and other artifacts indicating regular habitation by people of the Shield Archaic tradition, who hunted caribou in the area as far back as 7000 years ago. They were eventually supplanted by the Woodland Cree who were nomadic hunters in this region. The narrows were a seasonal camp for Cree families who would gather during the summer before heading to their individual hunting grounds in the autumn.

The first European to visit Bakers Narrows was Joseph Hansom. In the summer of 1773, as a young fur trader, he was sent inland by the Governor of Churchill to extend the reach of the Hudson's Bay Company. Hansom paddled from Lake Kississing down the Pineroot River, reaching Lake Athapapuskow and Bakers Narrows. Donaldson B. Dowling, working for the Geological Survey of Canada, was the first to survey the narrows in 1899.

The name comes from the first homesteader, Bill Baker a trapper and prospector from Ontario, who settled there with his wife Lydia Paul (from the Cumberland House Cree Nation) in approximately 1910 with the intention of establishing a trading post. In the early days, it was also called "Bakers Landing". To serve the growing mining industry in the Flin Flon area, a federal boat dock was built there in the early 1950s. The excellent fishing and camping near the dock led to the creation of the provincial park in 1961.

The Manitoba Highway 10 reached Bakers Narrows in 1951 and the airport was opened in 1968.

Lisa McCune

Lisa McCune (born 19 February 1971) is an Australian actress, known for her role in TV series Blue Heelers as Senior Constable Maggie Doyle, and in Sea Patrol as Lieutenant Kate McGregor RAN. She has won four Gold Logie Awards.

McCune has also featured in many theatre roles.

Early career (1986–1993)
Born in Sydney, McCune grew up in Perth. She first performed on stage at the age of 15 playing Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz at the Limelight Theatre in Wanneroo, Western Australia.

After attending Carine Senior High School and graduating from Greenwood Senior High School, she was accepted into both the classical singing and musical theatre courses at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA). She graduated with a BA in Music Theatre in 1990. Upon graduation, McCune secured an agent, Robyn Gardiner Management (RGM Associates), and took on various jobs in Sydney and Melbourne.

In February 1991, she won a twelve-month contract with Coles Supermarkets for a series of print and TV advertisements in which she played Lisa, the girl-next-door checkout chick.

McCune performed in a statewide tour of Victorian high schools in the educational John Romeril play about work experience, called Working Out, was in the chorus for a Sydney musical version of Great Expectations starring Philip Gould, and starred as the aspiring ballerina postulant, Sister Mary Leo, in the sequel to the Dan Goggin musical Nunsense.

She had a brief appearance in a re-enactment about a possible UFO-sighting in Bass Strait for the American series Unsolved Mysteries and a role in the 1993 satirical horror movie Body Melt in which her heavily pregnant character was attacked by a ferocious placenta before dying from an exploding stomach. McCune also sang in a couple of bands, including George Kapiniaris' Flares and Choice.

In 1991, she filmed a pilot for a Steve Vizard/Artist Services comedy called Turn it Up (aka Radio Waves). In 1993, McCune won the lead part of Allie Carter in the pilot of Newlyweds before being replaced by Annie Jones for the series.

Blue Heelers (1993–2000)
McCune shot to fame in September 1993 at age 22 when she debuted as Constable Maggie Doyle in Blue Heelers, playing the role until the seventh season. During this time she won the Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Television Personality four times.

Throughout her Blue Heelers run, she occasionally took time off to appear in other productions. In 1996 McCune appeared opposite Brett Climo who played her brother in Blue Heelers, in a friend's film The Inner Sanctuary. In early 1997 she played the role of Anne in the Melbourne Theatre Company's (MTC) production of Sondheim's A Little Night Music. In 1998, McCune played Cinderella in another Sondheim musical, Into the Woods. She also did two short seasons of the classic two-hander Love Letters.

In early 1999 she took six weeks off Blue Heelers to play one of the leads, Mary Abacus, in the miniseries adaptation of Bryce Courtenay's The Potato Factory, which earned her a nomination for an AFI award for Best Actress in a TV Drama. In July 1999, a couple of months before finishing on Blue Heelers, she starred alongside John Wood in She Loves Me.

Later career (2000–present)
Immediately after finishing Blue Heelers, she starred alongside John Waters, Bert Newton, Nikki Webster, Rachel Marley and later Rob Guest in a stage version of The Sound of Music, as Maria von Trapp.

In 2001, while she was pregnant with her first child, her portrait by Shaun Clark was entered in the Archibald Prize. She was off screens for a year to be a stay-at-home mother.

In 2002, her next project was a "comeback" role in the television series Marshall Law with Alison Whyte and former Blue Heelers cast member William McInnes. Although it rated well in the first week, the series was critically panned and its subsequent low ratings ensured it was cancelled after one season.

In 2004, after another year off due to the birth to her second child, McCune slowly began to return to television. She again was the advertising face of Coles Supermarkets. She also hosted Seven Network shows The World Around Us and Forensic Investigators. McCune also appeared as the love interest opposite Matt Day in the ABC telemovie Hell Has Harbour Views.

In September 2005, McCune guest starred in a four-episode storyline on MDA alongside her former Blue Heelers co-star Paul Bishop. Also in 2005 she narrated a second season of Forensic Investigators and appeared in the Australian film Little Fish, starring alongside Cate Blanchett and Sam Neill in the early stages of her third pregnancy. In 2006, she played Annabel in Tripping Over.

She has also appeared in a number of musicals and other stage productions around Australia, notably as Sally Bowles in Cabaret, Hope Cladwell in Urinetown, and Olive Ostrovsky in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. In 2012/13, she performed opposite Teddy Tahu Rhodes in Opera Australia's production of the Bartlett Sher 2008 New York revival of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific at the Sydney Opera House, the Princess Theatre, Melbourne, and the Brisbane Queensland Performing Arts Centre.

From 2007 until 2011, McCune was in the ensemble cast for the Nine Network drama series, Sea Patrol. Her character is the executive officer (second in command) Lieutenant Kate McGregor, of HMAS Hammersley, a fictional Royal Australian Navy patrol boat. There were five seasons of the show, and it was cancelled due to financial issues resulting from the scheduled loss of pertinent government tax credits.

On 5 April 2008, she began her role of Sarah Brown in the major stage production Guys and Dolls, playing for 20 weeks at the Princess Theatre in Melbourne before being revived for a Sydney season at the Capitol Theatre on 12 March 2009.

In 2010, she appeared as Jean in the MTC production of Sarah Ruhl's Dead Man's Cell Phone. McCune also appeared as the celebrity guest in the reasonably-priced ute/car in season 3, episode 1 of Top Gear Australia in August. She appeared alongside Richard Roxburgh in season 1, episode 2 of the television series Rake, which aired in November.

McCune starred Dr. Sam Stewart in Reef Doctors, an Australian television drama series that ran 9 June 2013 to 7 September 2013.

In 2014, she starred as Anna Leonowens in Opera Australia's production of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The King and I, playing opposite Teddy Tahu Rhodes in Brisbane and Sydney, and Lou Diamond Phillips in Melbourne.

In 2015, McCune recorded "The Unbearable Price of War", a duet with Lee Kernaghan for his album Spirit of the Anzacs. Later that year, she joined David Hobson, Teddy Tahu Rhodes, and Greta Bradman for a concert tour, From Broadway to La Scala, of the five Australian mainland state capitals.

In 2018, she appeared in the Network Ten comedy How to Stay Married with Peter Helliar. In 2019, McCune appeared in 33 Variations at the Comedy Theatre, Melbourne, opposite Ellen Burstyn. McCune played Gertrude in Bell Shakespeare's 2020 production of Hamlet at the Sydney Opera House, the Canberra Theatre Centre and the Arts Centre Melbourne. In 2022, she appeared as Elizabeth Laine in Girl from the North Country at the Sydney Festival, and then in Adelaide and Melbourne.

In 2024, McCune appeared in ABC kids show Planet Lulin.

Personal life
McCune married Tim Disney, a film technician who was part of the Blue Heelers crew, on 18 February 2000. They have three children, born in 2001, 2003 and 2005. McCune confirmed in 2020 that Disney was her ex-husband but they continue to co-habitate and co-parent. In 2021, McCune said she was "happily single", in an interview with Australian Women's Weekly. Lisa McCune had found herself at the heart of a very public cheating scandal with her South Pacific co-star Teddy Tahu. The pair were sighted holding hands and kissing in Sydney in 2012.

Marc LeBlanc

Marc "Mahk" LeBlanc is an educator and designer of video games.

LeBlanc attended MIT where he received a B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science.

Through his work with Looking Glass Studios, LeBlanc contributed to a number of important video game titles including Ultima Underworld II, System Shock, Flight Unlimited, Terra Nova, and Thief.

After Looking Glass, LeBlanc went to work for Sega, developing artificial intelligence for the Visual Concepts line of sports games. In 2003, LeBlanc went to work for Mind Control Software, where, with Andrew Leker, he co-developed Oasis, which won an Independent Games Festival award. In addition, LeBlanc has participated in a number of Indie Game Jams.

LeBlanc has led a number of Game Design Tuning Workshops at the Game Developers Conference, where he explores his theories on game design, specifically the Mechanics/Dynamics/Aesthetics (MDA) framework. MDA is based in part on the Formal Abstract Design Tools for games discussion initiated by Doug Church. LeBlanc runs a site, 8kindsoffun.com, including the MDA work and his breakdown of "fun" for game design.

8 Kinds of Fun
In his work on 8 kinds of fun, LeBlanc explains that when describing fun people should steer away from vague words such as "gameplay" and "fun". Instead he suggests that a more direct vocabulary should be used. This includes but is not limited to the taxonomy listed below:

 * 1) Sensation: Game as sense-pleasure. Games that evoke emotion in the player, be it through sound, visuals, controller rumble or physical effort. Examples: Dead Space, Dance Dance Revolution, Candy Crush Saga
 * 2) Fantasy: Game as make-believe. Game as a means to take the player to another world. Some call it escapism. Examples: Final Fantasy, Nier: Automata, The Legend of Zelda
 * 3) Narrative: Game as drama. Game as a means to tell a story or narrative to the player. Examples: The Walking Dead, Persona 3, Dear Esther
 * 4) Challenge: Game as obstacle course. Games that provide the player(s) with highly competitive value or with increasingly difficult challenges. Examples: Dark Souls, Tetris, X-COM
 * 5) Fellowship: Game as social framework. Games that have social interactions as its core or as a big feature. Examples: Mario Kart, Destiny, World of Warcraft
 * 6) Discovery: Game as uncharted territory. Games in which the player explores a world. Examples: Uncharted, Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed
 * 7) Expression: Game as self-discovery. Games that allow for self-expression from the player through gameplay. Examples: Minecraft, Garry's Mod, Roblox
 * 8) Submission: Game as pastime. Games that have "farming" or "grinding" as a core element. Examples: FarmVille, Hyperdimension Neptunia, Disgaea

A game does not need to have only one of the above, nor all of them. Just because these are different kinds of fun does not mean that everyone finds all eight of these things fun at all. Not only do different games provide different combinations and relative quantities of the various kinds of fun, but different players find different combinations more or less fun than others.

Justin Sane

Justin Cathal Geever (born February 21, 1973), known professionally as Justin Sane, is an American singer and guitarist. He was the lead guitarist, singer and songwriter of Anti-Flag, a punk rock band formed in 1988 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that was known for its left-wing political views.

In 2023, Anti-Flag abruptly disbanded following multiple rape allegations made against Sane. He is currently being sued for rape under New York's Adult Survivors Act. Sane holds dual United States and Irish citizenship, and sold his house in Pittsburgh to allegedly flee the country.

Music career
In 1988, Sane formed Anti-Flag with friend Pat Thetic. In a 2014 interview, Sane claimed that their first performance as a band occurred at his high school, that the band truly solidified in 1993, and that the 1988 iteration had "very little similarit[ies]" with "what Anti-Flag later became."

In 1996, they released their first album, Die for the Government. Later that year, Andy Flag left the band as a result of personal disputes. Various band members came and went during 1997 and 1998, after which they finally settled on a permanent line-up consisting of Sane as lead guitarist/vocalist, Thetic as drummer, Chris Head as guitarist/backing vocalist, and Chris "#2" Barker as bassist/second vocalist. In 1998, the band released their second album, Their System Doesn't Work For You.

In 1999 Anti-Flag released their third album, A New Kind of Army, and founded their own label, A-F Records. In 2001, they signed to Fat Wreck Chords after discussions with the label's owner, "Fat Mike" Burkett. Following their switch to Fat Wreck Chords, the band released Underground Network.

Mobilize, recorded shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, was released early 2002. Anti-Flag released a split CD with Bouncing Souls seven months later. 2003 saw the release of The Terror State, produced by Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine. Anti-Flag's first DVD, Death of a Nation, was released in 2004. The DVD includes live footage, three music videos, an interview with the band, behind-the-scenes tour footage, and three montages compiled by the band.

In 2006, Anti-Flag released For Blood and Empire on RCA Records. The Bright Lights of America was released in 2008.

On March 4, 2009, Sane jumped into the crowd at a concert at the LCR in Norwich to stop a scuffle which broke out and landed awkwardly, breaking his collar bone. This caused Anti-Flag to cancel the remainder of their tour with Rise Against and their upcoming headlining tour of Europe. The same year, a 2-track split album with Rise Against was released, originally given away with any merchandise purchase on the 2009 Rise Against/Anti-Flag/Flobots UK tour.

Rape allegations
On July 19, 2023, Anti-Flag abruptly disbanded via a brief Patreon statement in the middle of a European tour. Publications including Stereogum and Us Weekly linked the breakup to sexual assault allegations made on a podcast against an anonymous "singer in a political punk band", believed to be Sane. On July 21, the mental health nonprofit organization Punk Rock Saves Lives severed ties with Sane.

On July 26, Sane denied the accusations as "categorically false" through a statement on his reactivated Instagram account. In a separate statement, his bandmates said Anti-Flag broke up as Sane's alleged behavior contradicted the band's values.

On September 5, Rolling Stone published an exposé revealing twelve more females, the youngest at 12 years old, who accused Sane of predatory behavior, sexual assault, and statutory rape in alleged incidents dating from the 1990s to 2020. Following the release of the article, Sane's former bandmates, Thetic, Head, and Barker, released a statement directly condemning Sane, stating they believed he was "in need of serious professional help" and that "it appears you used our beliefs as a cover for egregious activities that you clearly knew we would never condone."

On November 23, 2023, Sane was sued by Kristina Sarhadi, the woman who made the initial allegation, under New York's Adult Survivors Act, for allegedly raping her in 2010 when she was 21. In March 2024, Sarhadi's legal team learned that Sane sold his Pittsburgh home and transferred funds to an Irish bank account, where he holds dual citizenship, and later claimed that Sane had successfully fled the country, although her legal team could not confirm the country to which Sane moved. Sarhadi's legal team stated that they believed Sane had victimized approximately 60 women and girls since the 1990s, and Sarhadi stated, "They are people, many in the U.S. that I talk to regularly, and many in Europe, Australia, Canada, South America. . . . I talked to dozens and dozens of women who [were] desperate to see something happen."

Index Kewensis

The 1893 Index Kewensis (IK), maintained by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, is a publication that aims to register all botanical names for seed plants at the rank of species and genera. It later came to include names of taxonomic families and ranks below that of species.

The Index is currently maintained as part of the International Plant Names Index in combination with the Gray Herbarium and Australian Plant Name indexes. This database is anticipated to complete the task of creating a complete list of plant names, although it does not determine which are accepted species names.

History
The preparation for this venture was made by Benjamin Daydon Jackson of the Linnaean Society, directed by Joseph Dalton Hooker at Kew. Charles Darwin provided the funding for the indexing project. When he died in 1882 his will stipulated that provision be made for £250 per annum over a 5-year period. In providing citations of plant names, the starting point was taken from 1753 onward; the year of publication for the Species Plantarum of Linnaeus. Darwin had found difficulties in applying these to the plants he studied, and Hooker's directive was to 'the compilation of an Index to the Names and Authorities of all known flowering plants and their countries'. While the Index has never fulfilled this original charter, it was the most comprehensive for over 100 years.

Previous attempts at a comprehensive index had relied on secondary sources, this was the first attempt to provide the original publication details of the names. A note on the country of origin was also included. The publications of De Candolle, Pfeiffer, and Bentham provided models for the acceptance of names. However, the editor admitted that not all earlier sources were included; this sometimes led to subsequent errors in botanical nomenclature.

The scope of the project was also changed in early editions, the editor noting that to include a full synonymy was too ambitious. The work originally indicated acceptance of a name, acting as a nomenclator rather than an index, but by 1913 it avoided making taxonomic judgement in its citations. The integrity of the document was liable to criticism as only representing the 'Kew view' on nomenclatural validity, the objective task of indexing gave the work itself greater international acceptance.

A description of Hooker's systematic works by F O Bower notes the "scheme originated in the difficulty he had found in the accurate naming of plants", and anticipates the importance of this work, "'Surely no greater technical benefit was ever conferred upon a future generation by the veterans of science than this Index. It smooths the way for every systematist who comes after. It stands as a monument to an intimate friendship. It bears witness to the munificence of Darwin, and the ungrudging personal care of Hooker.'"

Editions
First published in 1893, a hard copy was reprinted in 1996, providing access to the original publication details of plant names; these were also made available in microfiche format as the Cumulated Index Kewensis. The publication titled Kew Index was issued from 1986 until 1989.

The first index contained the scientific names of 400,000 species, regular supplements were then issued on newly published names. The supplements were issued every five years, each one adding around 6000 names to the index, eventually forming a compilation of over 1,000,000 entries. The sixteenth supplement began to include bibliographic details at the rank of family and below, the later annual supplements included ferns and their allies. A digitalized version of the index was issued on a compact disc. A digital version was incorporporated with other indexes as the International Plant Names Index (IPNI), and may fulfill the original intention – a complete index of plant names. Entries at IPNI are designated with the abbreviation "(IK)".

Talk:Perl Compatible Regular Expressions

[PCRE vs PCRE2]
There is a newer version of the library described as PCRE2 with the 'original' now in maintenance. Some info on the merits and issues with PCRE2 would be beneficial, though I recognise that Wikipedia may not be the appropriate place for this if it is not covered on the project website (I could not find any obvious information on the differences). — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlueSulla (talk • contribs) 10:48, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

[Untitled]
Shouldn't it be "Perl"?

 * Shouldn't what be "Perl"?

Misnomer
From the article:
 * The name is a misnomer, because Perl's regular expressions permit embedded Perl code during matching and replacing, so to be truly "Perl Compatible" would need a full Perl interpreter embedded in the library. PCRE contains no such interpreter.

Um...it's not a misnomer. The regular expressions of PCRE are compatible with Perl's. Embedded source code does not constitute a "regular expression pattern". 70.20.145.231 19:57, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
 * No, they're not entirely exactly compatible. Embedded Perl source code is considered part of the regular expression in Perl. PCRE will always do things that Perl can't, and vice versa. Randal L. Schwartz 21:27, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I disagree its a misnomer. PCRE deliberately tries to be feature compatible with Perl. And at least recently Perl has tried to become feature compatible with PCRE. The fact is that in Perl 5.9.x active efforts have been made to make Perl support the PCRE syntax extensions, and in PCRE 7.x Philip has made active efforts to keep pace with new features being added to Perl 5.9.x. Also, I think that the whole quibble about (??{}) is unreasonable. In all production versions of Perl the feature is marked experimental, and I dont feel that supporting experimental features is required for compatibility. Do we expect PCRE to maintain bug compatibility as well?  Demerphq 18:59, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

That's a very silly thing to put in an encyclopaedia article in that way. It sounds like a silly sling against PCRE. Nothing is compatible with anything. Come on. 208.115.233.109 14:47, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I cannot be bothered to analyze the above, but there's something wrong with this part of the article right now. It says The name is therefore a misnomer, because PCRE is "Perl Compatible" only if [...]. The "therefore" appears to be a back-reference (pun intended) to a part that goes [PCRE] is much more powerful and flexible than POSIX regular expressions.. And that doesn't make sense, because the same applies to Perl REs. JöG 10:58, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

PCRE_EXTENDED
Need described on article?

See "CONDITIONAL SUBPATTERNS".

Recursive expressions
To Randal and anyone else interested: we say:
 * PCRE has developed a unique feature set, which in some cases includes features not yet available even in Perl's regular expression engine. For example, recursive subpatterns will be a feature of an upcoming 2006 release of Perl 5, but are already available in PCRE

Our citation for this is the PCRE manual which says:
 * Fairly obviously, PCRE does not support the (?{code}) and (??{code}) constructions. However, there is support for recursive patterns.  This is  not available in Perl 5.8, but will be in Perl 5.10.

This is pretty clear. PCRE doesn't support Perl's inline code ala  or , but does support recursive subexpressions, a feature which is being added to 5.10. I've been following this in Perl and PCRE, so I'm pretty sure of this. -Harmil 00:09, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * As an example of how PCRE and Perl regex are different, it's a bad example. Perhaps a simpler example that isn't so convoluted to explain would be handy. --Randal L. Schwartz 21:12, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Ok, rather than trying to expand and clarify the example to the point of distracting from the topic at hand, I've extracted the example and simply put the conclusion in: the development of new features in both languages is coordinated, but unique. I think that sums up the situation, and is supported by the ref, without getting bogged down. I still think that the recursive sub-pattern feature (while it can be emulated by variable or code interpolation via ?{...} and ??{...}) is distinct and unique, but if there's a debate to be had around it, Wikipedia's not the place to have that debate, so I'll stand down. -Harmil 21:33, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Distinction between syntax and implementation
I think the problem with this article is that it merges PCRE as a syntax with the PCRE library. A regular expression dialect is IMO generally considered to be "Perl Compatible" if it follows the general syntax that Larry Wall devised for Perl with such features as the consistant escaping rules and the (?...) notation for special patterns, particularly (?:...) for noncapturing grouping. The PCRE library is therefore just one of several Perl compatible regular expression engines, albeit the most widely used in other software.

I think distinguishing the two would make things clearer. It also would make it easier to explain that various implementations have influenced each other in terms of syntax. For instance PCRE 7 supports the .NET syntax for named buffer declaration as Perl 5.9.x has decided to support both the .NET syntax and the Python syntax. Similarly features from a Java "perl compatible" regular expression engine have been added to Perl 5.9.x and therefore also added to PCRE 7, vice versa features that first saw implementation in PCRE 7 have now been added to Perl 5.9.x.

Programs that use PCRE / Language bindings for PCRE
I've started this section so that authors of programs, libraries, frameworks, language bindings, etc that use PCRE can highlight that fact here. I do this primarily because I don't think the author of such a program should be editing the primary entry as they have a vested interest in the subject. Adding the entry here allows the author to make editors of the page aware programs or projects that may be relevant, and allow an unbiased third party to update the main entry as appropriate.

Recursive atomicity
Is there any simpler example illustrating this difference between Perl regexen and PCREs than the one used now:

I'm quite familiar with Perl's REs and moderately familiar with PCREs but it would take me at least three cups of coffee to determine what that actually means, if anything. If there isn't a simpler example, can we just say there are pathological cases that behave differently because of this distinction and leave it to a cited source to go into the details? Keziah (talk) 21:09, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

There are many other more simple examples. For instance,  successfully matches in Perl but fails in PCRE. When backtracking occurs and the second alternative in the group ('a') is tried at the top level,  will match the empty string, but the overall match would fail trying to match   for the second time. Since the recursed subpattern is effectively atomic, the group cannot be re-entered at this point, and the match fails.Jaytea1 (talk) 17:40, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Huh?
There should be at least one example of usage. E.g., I have some C string variable (char *) that could possibly be matched using a RE. How do I do it? What happens? --72.70.91.223 (talk) 08:16, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

pcre syntax highlighting lost
Since the switch from Geshi to Pygments for syntax highlighting (T85794), support for 'pcre' was unfortunately dropped, as can be seen with the plain text formatting on this page and many others such as Regular expression, Sentence boundary disambiguation, String literal, Leaning toothpick syndrome and Thompson's construction algorithm. If we want specialised 'pcre' syntax highlight support again, it will need to be added to Pygments. However, we may be able to find a suitable fallback already available with Pygments, which can be added to the software like this patch. Both lang=perl and lang=nginx look better than lang=text for all use of pcre that I can see. John Vandenberg (chat) 22:57, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Non-capturing matching groups
As mentioned a little above,  defines a non-capturing grouping. If that is the case with PCRE, it must be mentioned in the page. Urhixidur (talk) 19:49, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Duodenal switch

The duodenal switch (DS) procedure, gastric reduction duodenal switch (GRDS), is a weight loss surgery procedure that is composed of a restrictive and a malabsorptive aspect.

The restrictive portion of the surgery involves removing approximately 70% of the stomach (along the greater curvature) and most of the duodenum.

The malabsorptive portion of the surgery reroutes a lengthy portion of the small intestine, creating two separate pathways and one common channel. The shorter of the two pathways, the digestive loop, takes food from the stomach to the common channel. The much longer pathway, the biliopancreatic loop, carries bile from the liver to the common channel.

The common channel is the portion of small intestine, usually 75-150 centimeters long, in which the contents of the digestive path mix with the bile from the biliopancreatic loop before emptying into the large intestine. The objective of this arrangement is to reduce the amount of time the body has to capture calories from food in the small intestine and to selectively limit the absorption of fat. As a result, following surgery, these patients absorb only approximately 20% of the fat they consume.

Advantages
The primary advantage of duodenal switch (DS) surgery is that its combination of moderate intake restriction with substantial calorie malabsorption results in a higher percentage of excess weight loss versus a purely restrictive gastric bypass for all individuals In a Systemic Meta Analysis of the weight loss surgical procedures Buckwald et al. Type 2 diabetics have had a 98% "cure" (i.e. became euglycemic) almost immediately following surgery which is due to the metabolic effect from the intestine switch. The results are so favorable that some surgeons in Europe are performing the "switch" or intestinal surgery on non-obese patients curing diabetes. Novel operations are geared toward the treatment of diabetes and not necessarily to induce weight loss. Among the most prominent of these operations are the duodenal-jejunal bypass and ileal transposition where duodenal switch is a part of the operation.

The following observations were reported on the resolution of obesity related comorbidities following the duodenal switch: type 2 diabetes 99%, hyperlipidemia 99%, sleep apnea 92%, and hypertension 83%.

Because the pyloric valve between the stomach and small intestine is preserved, people who have undergone the DS do not experience the dumping syndrome common with people who've undergone the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RNY). Much of the production of the hunger hormone, ghrelin, is removed with the greater curvature of the stomach.

The summarized data can be found on a poster: comparative poster

Diet following the DS is more normal and better tolerated than with other surgeries.

The malabsorptive component of the DS is fully reversible as no small intestine is actually removed, only re-routed.

Disadvantages
The malabsorptive element of the DS requires that those who undergo the procedure take vitamin and mineral supplements above and beyond that of the normal population, as do patients having the RNY surgery. Commonly prescribed supplements include a daily multivitamin, calcium citrate, and the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.

Because gallstones are a common complication of rapid weight loss following any type of weight loss surgery, some surgeons may remove the gall bladder as a preventative measure during the DS or the RNY. Others prefer to prescribe medication to reduce the risk of post-operative gallstones.

Like RNY patients, DS patients require lifelong and extensive blood tests to check for deficiencies in life critical vitamins and minerals. Without proper follow up tests and lifetime supplementation RNY and DS patients can become ill. This follow-up care is non-optional and must continue for as long as the patient lives.

DS patients also have a higher occurrence of smelly flatus and diarrhea, although both can usually be mitigated through diet, including avoiding simple carbohydrates.

The restrictive portion of the DS is not reversible, since part of the stomach is removed. However, the stomach in all DS patients does expand over time, and while it will never reach the same size as the natural stomach in most patients, some stretching does occur.

Risks
All surgical procedures involve a degree of risk however this must be balanced against the significant risks associated with severe obesity.

Some of the surgical risks or complications for this procedure are: perforation involving small bowel, duodenum, or stomach causing a leak, infection, abscess, deep vein thrombosis (blood clot), and pulmonary emboli (blood clot traveling to the lungs).

Longer term risks include the possibility of vitamin and mineral deficiency, hernia and bowel obstruction. There is little information as to the longer-term risks (greater than 15 years), as this procedure was very rarely performed prior to the year 2000.

The traditional biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) led to persistent malnutrition in a subset of patients. However, the loop duodenal switch reduces this risk because it bypasses a smaller portion of the small intestine, but there is no long term information for the loop duodenal switch to fully and accurately compare. Malnutrition is an uncommon and preventable risk after duodenal switch.

Qualifications
The National Institutes of Health state that for patients who meet the following guidelines, weight loss surgery may be an appropriate measure for permanent weight loss:
 * BMI of 40 or over
 * BMI of 35 or over with obesity-related illnesses such as:
 * Diabetes mellitus type 2
 * Coronary heart disease
 * Sleep apnea
 * Osteoarthritis
 * GERD
 * An understanding of the operation and lifestyle changes necessary following the surgery.

Costs
Compared with the other three generally accepted bariatric surgery procedures (gastric bypass, gastric banding and gastric sleeve), duodenal switch surgery is the most expensive procedure to perform due to its more complicated nature and longer operating times. Because it is more complicated and is performed less often than the other common procedures (lower demand), it is also performed by a relatively small percentage of surgeons which further drives up the price due to lack of competition.

Patients without insurance (also called "self-pay" patients by most bariatric practices) can expect to pay an average of about $27,000 in the United States, although this varies widely across states and clinics. For example, surgical practices in the least expensive state (New Jersey) average about $24,000 while practices in the most expensive state (Nebraska) charge about $32,500. This surgery is also performed by some surgeons in Mexico at a much lower cost than in the United States.

Hemimetabolism

Hemimetabolism or hemimetaboly, also called partial metamorphosis and paurometabolism, is the mode of development of certain insects that includes three distinct stages: the egg, nymph, and the adult stage, or imago. These groups go through gradual changes; there is no pupal stage. The nymph often has a thin exoskeleton and resembles the adult stage but lacks wings and functional reproductive organs. The hemimetabolous insects differ from ametabolous taxa in that the one and only adult instar undergoes no further moulting.

Orders
All insects of the Pterygota except Holometabola belong to hemimetabolous orders:
 * Hemiptera (scale insects, aphids, whitefly, cicadas, leafhoppers, and true bugs)
 * Orthoptera (grasshoppers, locusts, and crickets)
 * Mantodea (praying mantises)
 * Blattodea (cockroaches and termites)
 * Dermaptera (earwigs)
 * Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies)
 * Phasmatodea (stick insects)
 * Phthiraptera (sucking lice)
 * Ephemeroptera (mayflies)
 * Plecoptera (stoneflies)
 * Notoptera (icebugs and gladiators)

Terminology of aquatic entomology
In aquatic entomology, different terminology is used when categorizing insects with gradual or partial metamorphosis. Paurometabolism (gradual) refers to insects whose nymphs occupy the same environment as the adults, as in the family Gerridae of Hemiptera. The hemimetabolous (partial) insects are those whose nymphs, called naiads, occupy aquatic habitats while the adults are terrestrial. This includes all members of the orders Plecoptera, Ephemeroptera, and Odonata. Aquatic entomologists use this categorization because it specifies whether the adult will occupy an aquatic or semi aquatic habitat, or will be terrestrial.
