A Parable
One day Cameo was walking by the banks of a raging river. She was reading the Diamond Sutra, and stepped dangerously near the shoreline. A passing monk came up to her and said, "Please be careful, or you will drown." Cameo replied, "The Diamond Sutra will save me". The monk said, "The Diamond Sutra has never saved anyone." He grabbed the scroll from her and threw it in the river. Cameo, furious, jumped in after it, and with much difficulty brought it back to shore. The monk said, "On the other hand, everyone saves the Diamond Sutra."

Bernie Fuchs

Bernie Fuchs (October 29, 1932 – September 17, 2009) was an American illustrator known for advertising art, magazine illustration and portraiture, including for a series of U.S. postage stamps.

Biography
Fuchs was born in O'Fallon, Illinois, on October 29, 1932. He grew up in humble circumstances with no father. His ambition was to be a trumpet player, but that ended after he lost three fingers on his right hand in an industrial accident the summer after he graduated from high school. Fuchs turned to art as a career, despite having had no formal art training. He enrolled in Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, where he graduated in 1954.

His first job was illustrating car advertisements for New Center Studios, located first in the Fisher Bldg., then in the Penobscot Bldg in Detroit. Art Greenwald was the owner of the studio. It was the largest and most successful studio in Detroit in the 1950s and 1960s. A couple of the other illustrators were Chic Albertson and Donald Silverstein. Bernie was recognized immediately for his incredible talent and pulled in major accounts for Greenwald. Within a few years of moving to Detroit, Fuchs' opened the studio The Art Group, which specialized in work for the city's auto companies. In the late 1950s, Fuchs moved to Westport, Connecticut, where he began doing illustrations for McCalls, Redbook, The Ladies Home Journal, Sports Illustrated and other magazines.

Fuchs was commissioned for the illustration of four U.S. postage stamps released in 1998. The stamps featured folk musicians Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter, Woody Guthrie, Sonny Terry, and Josh White. Fuchs also illustrated several children's picture books, including Ragtime Tumpie and Carolina Shout!, both written by Alan Schroeder.

He painted portraits of several U.S. Presidents, including John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, as well as of such athletes and celebrities such as Muhammad Ali, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Ted Koppel and Katharine Hepburn as well as illustrations of Carol Burnett for the title card for her show.

At age 76, he died September 17, 2009, of esophageal cancer at a Fairfield, Connecticut, care facility.

Awards
Fuchs was the youngest illustrator ever elected to the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame.

In 1991, Fuchs was named Sport Artist of the Year by the American Sport Art Museum and Archives.

The children's book Ragtime Tumpie by Fuchs and Alan Schroeder was cited as an American Library Association Notable Children's Book in 1989. It was also an International Reading Association Teachers' Choice. Fuchs and Schroeder also collaborated on the 1994 picture book "Carolina Shout!"

Family
Fuchs married his high school sweetheart, Anna Lee Hesse. Together they raised three children: Cynthia, Derek, and Ellise.

Talk:Instructional design

On improving the instructional design article: The article could be greatly improved with some organizational redesign, general introductory sentences in the lead, and flushing out some of the less explored details in the heart of the article. For example, in the origins section under history, there isn't a strong link between behaviorism in psychology and its effect on instructional design. Robert Gagné is also not introduced in the Lead, which could be helpful.19:17, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Military training history
Is there influence from ancient to modern military training on instruction design?

There are military training books dating back to Roman times. 2600:1700:D591:5F10:5823:241B:346A:709C (talk) 22:42, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Sarah Patterson

Sarah Patterson (born c. 1970) is an English film actress.

For her acting debut, Patterson starred as Rosaleen, a Little Red Riding Hood counterpart, in the Neil Jordan and Angela Carter film The Company of Wolves (1984). In 1987, she starred in another fairy tale-inspired film, playing the titular heroine in Cannon Films' Snow White. Neither of these films were great commercial successes; however, the actress did develop somewhat of a cult following. She has only appeared in a couple of films since, both produced by Valiant Doll: her friend Lisa Gornick's independent film production company. The Valiant Doll film Do I Love You? marked her return to film after an absence of over a decade, and she later appeared in Tick Tock Lullaby.

The Dead Christ

The Dead Christ or The Redeemer in Death is a statue of Jesus Christ executed in white Carrara marble by the Irish sculptor John Hogan (1800–1858). The work was first sculpted by Hogan when he was based in Rome, alongside other artists such as sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770–1844). Thorvaldsen reputedly described the statue as Hogan's "masterpiece". In all, Hogan carved three versions of the statue in marble:
 * the first (1829) is located in St. Teresa's Carmelite Church, Dublin, Ireland
 * the second (1833) in St. Finbarr's (South) Church, Cork, Ireland
 * the third and final (1854) is located in the Basilica of St. John the Baptist, St. John's, Newfoundland

A fourth statue, a plaster cast, is on display in the Crawford Art Gallery in Cork, Ireland. It was acquired from Hogan's widow, Cornelia Bevigani, by William Horatio Crawford.

Royal Military School of Music

The Royal Military School of Music (RMSM) trains musicians for the British Army's fourteen regular bands, as part of the Royal Corps of Army Music. For more than a century and a half, from 1857 until August 2021, the school was based at Kneller Hall in Twickenham.

Today, the Royal Military School of Music has two branches:
 * "initial trade training" takes place at HMS Nelson in Portsmouth (at a shared facility with the Royal Marines School of Music);
 * "subsequent trade training" takes place at Gibraltar Barracks, Minley.

RMSM is now part of the Royal School of Military Engineering Group.

History
The RMSM was established in 1857 at the instigation of Prince George, Duke of Cambridge, who was Queen Victoria's cousin and commander-in-chief of the army. In 1854, during the Crimean War, he attended a parade in Scutari, Turkey to celebrate the Queen's birthday, when about 20 British Army bands on parade were required to combine in a performance of the national anthem. The custom at this time was for regiments to hire civilian bandmasters, each of whom had free rein in their band's instrumentation and arrangements. With each band playing God Save the Queen simultaneously in different instrumentations, pitches, arrangements and key signatures, the result was an embarrassing and humiliating cacophony. The Duke decided there should be some standardisation in army music, and so formed the RMSM, with Henry Schallehn (who also became the first director of music at the Crystal Palace) as commandant.

It was established at Kneller Hall, which had been the country house of the court painter Sir Godfrey Kneller and was rebuilt after a fire in 1848. For several years in the late 19th century, the commandant was Colonel T. B. Shaw-Hellier, owner of the Hellier Stradivarius.

In 1937 the school commissioned a new set of custom-made fanfare trumpets, designed by Lt-Col. Hector Adkins (Director of Music 1923–1941), along with a matching set of valved trombones. First appearing at the Coronation of King George VI that year, the Kneller Hall Trumpeters went on to be a regular feature of state occasions and national celebrations throughout the 20th century. A distinctive banner, designed for the School by Kruger Gray, was hung from each instrument and made the trumpeters very recognisable: it consisted of a shield displaying three clarions beneath a crown.

In August 2021 the Headquarters of the Royal Corps of Army Music (which had been established at Kneller Hall in 1994) moved to Gibraltar Barracks in Minley, and soon afterwards the school itself moved to Portsmouth. Once vacated, the building was sold.

Present day
In November 2023 the Princess Royal opened a new combined training facility at Portsmouth for the Royal Marines Band Service and the Royal Corps of Army Music, which has been named the Alford Schools of Military Music. It is located in the former Military Detention Quarters at HMS Nelson, which have served as the Royal Marines School of Music since 1996; the former cells provide a rehearsal space for each individual musician. It can accommodate up to a hundred musicians; on opening there was a 60% Royal Marine, 40% Army personnel split.

RMSM recruits are auditioned before joining the Army. After completing basic training, they spend (on average) a year at Portsmouth. As well as developing their skills and receiving individual instrument tuition (from civilian as well as military musicians), time is spent 'incorporating the values and ethos of the British Army and the Royal Corps of Army Music whilst learning repertoire and skills required in military ensembles (such as marching while playing an instrument)'.

The 'Kneller Wing' at Minley is used for the British Army Bandmaster Course: each year 'a small number of high-calibre musicians' are selected from across the Royal Corps of Army Music to receive the academic, musical and leadership training required for appointment as a Bandmaster.

Museum of Army Music
The Museum of Army Music, which was at Kneller Hall for several decades, had a collection of instruments, music, banners, medals, model bands, documents, prints, manuscripts, paintings and uniforms illustrating the history of military music. It is presently, Oct 2021, in storage pending a new location.

Talk:Chris Robinson (singer)

Untitled
I have no idea what "His band had a demo cassette tape in 1989 since their first carrer before they released all their albums" means. If I even knew what that was supposed to be, I'd edit the grammar. Anyone have a guess?

updating
this needs some serious updating, the blackcrowes are back together and touring as we speak, and kurt russell is not hudson's step-dad, he and goldy hawn have never been married.

ethnic back ground
According to kate Hudson in Irish magzine Chris has some polish jew blood in him. Does anyone else know his back ground better ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Irishmonk (talk • contribs) 03:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes, he is half-Jewish (ethnically speaking...)... and could you have said that more vulgarly: "jew blood in him." you said like hitler's men when rounding up people suspected of not fitting the aryan mold. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.198.139.66 (talk) 20:57, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Chris Robinson or the Black Crowes?
I realize that any discussion of Chris Robinson must necessarily include discussion of the Black Crowes. However, this article seems to be more about the Black Crowes and less about the person Chris Robinson. When and where was he born? What was his life like growing up? How did he get into music in the first place? These and other questions would be much more appropriate, it would seem, in a biographical article about a specific person, rather than defining the person solely by the musical group they happen to be in…

 * Exactly. The article, to a very large degree, merely re-treads The Black Crowes autobiography. Can someone re-visit this page and make it more appropriate to the subject matter. Also, please sign your comments (as below). Thanks,
 * Derek R Bullamore 21:01, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I will try to rewrite the article to make it not so much about The Black Crowes but more about Chris Robinson.

Now, Chris!
Ok, so I re-did the article to suit more of a personal biography rather than that of The Black Crowes. If anyone has any more info please add because all I did was a rough outiline. (Crowes.garden 21:35, 29 April 2007 (UTC))

Disambiguation change proposed
This is not the only "Chris/Christopher" Robinson that is a musician. The other musician seems to go by his full name, Christopher, which this one does not. Could we have a 'Chris Robinson (musician)' and leave the other as 'Christopher Robinson (musician)'? I think perhaps we should distinguish them by either nationality (potentially a problem in the future, maybe) or by genre. It's not like Chris Robinson is merely a singer; he is a musician beyond his voice as instrument. Any thoughts?--SidP (talk) 18:32, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * He is notable as a singer. There are a number of people in the entertainment industry with this name. Personally I think this is the clearest way of putting it. Karst (talk) 19:08, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Personal Life
The final sentence under personal life seems overly cynical. They married in 2009 but have not announced yet that they will get divorced. Is there any reason to believe that they are headed for divorce other than the fact that this is a celebrity marriage? “In 2009, Robinson married Allison Bridges. Their daughter, Cheyenne Genevieve Robinson, was born on December 26, 2009. No divorce has yet been announced.”

Guinness Brewery

St. James's Gate Brewery is a brewery founded in 1759 in Dublin, Ireland, by Arthur Guinness. The company is now a part of Diageo, a company formed from the merger of Guinness and Grand Metropolitan in 1997. The main product of the brewery is Draught Guinness.

Originally leased in 1759 to Arthur Guinness at £45 per year for 9,000 years, the St. James's Gate area has been the home of Guinness ever since. It became the largest brewery in Ireland in 1838, and the largest in the world by 1886, with an annual output of 1.2 million barrels. Although no longer the largest brewery in the world, it remains as the largest brewer of stout. The company has since bought out the originally leased property, and during the 19th and early 20th centuries, the brewery owned most of the buildings in the surrounding area, including many streets of housing for brewery employees, and offices associated with the brewery. The brewery had its own power plant.

There is an attached exhibition on the 250-year-old history of Guinness, called the Guinness Storehouse.

History
Arthur Guinness started brewing ales in Leixlip, County Kildare, and then from 1759 at the St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin. On 31 December he signed a 9,000-year lease at £45 per annum for the unused brewery. However, the lease is no longer in effect because the brewery property has been bought out when it expanded beyond the original 4-acre site.

Ten years after establishment, on 19 May 1769 Guinness exported his beer (he had ceased ale brewing by then) for the first time, when six and a half barrels were shipped to England. The business expanded by adopting steam power and further exporting to the English market. On the death of Benjamin Guinness in 1868 the business was worth over £1 million, and the brewery site had grown from about 1 acre to over 64 acres. In 1886 his son Edward sold 65 per cent of the business by a public offering on the London Stock Exchange for £6 million.

The company pioneered several quality control efforts. The brewery hired the statistician William Sealy Gosset in 1899, who achieved lasting fame under the pseudonym "Student" for techniques developed for Guinness, particularly Student's t-distribution and the even more commonly known Student's t-test.

Because of the Irish Free State's "Control of Manufactures Act" in 1932, the company moved its headquarters to London later that year. Guinness brewed its last porter in 1974.

In 1983, a non-family chief executive Ernest Saunders was appointed and arranged the reverse takeover of the leading Scotch whisky producer Distillers in 1986. Saunders was then asked to resign following revelations that the Guinness stock price had been illegally manipulated (see Guinness share-trading fraud).

In 1986, Guinness PLC was in the midst of a bidding war for the much larger Distillers Company. In the closing stages, Guinness' stock rose 25 per cent — which was unusual, since the stock of the acquiring company usually falls in a takeover situation. Guinness paid several people and institutions, most notably American arbitrageur Ivan Boesky, about US$38 million to buy US$300 million worth of Guinness stock. The effect was to increase the value of its offer for Distillers, whose management favoured merging with Guinness.

In the course of the investigation, it emerged that Bank Leu was involved in half of the purchases. Two of Guinness' directors signed under-the-table agreements in which Bank Leu subsidiaries in Zug and Lucerne bought 41 million Guinness shares. Guinness secretly promised to redeem the shares at cost, including commissions. To fulfil its end of the bargain, Guinness deposited $76 million with Bank Leu's Luxembourg subsidiary.

As Distillers was worth more than Guinness plc, the Guinness family shareholding in the merged company went below 10 per cent, and today no member of the family sits on the board. Guinness acquired the Distillers Company in 1986.

The company merged with Grand Metropolitan in 1997, to form Diageo plc, capitalised in 2006 at about 40 billion euros. Although not officially fully taken over, the Guinness family still owns 51 per cent of the brewery. The Guinness brewery in Park Royal, London closed in 2005. The production of all Guinness sold in the UK and Ireland was switched to St. James's Gate Brewery Dublin.

In 2018, Guinness opened its first brewery in 64 years in the United States, in Baltimore, Maryland. The last Guinness brewery in the US closed in 1954. This US location will focus on "special news" and Guinness Blonde American Lager, but not the classic stout, which will still only be brewed in Dublin.

According to a Diageo publication in 2019, the St James' Gate brewery was then operating at over 90 percent capacity and one of the "most profitable breweries in the world".

Products
The main product is Guinness Draught, a 4.2% ABV dry stout that is one of the most successful beer brands worldwide. For many years a portion of the drink was aged to give a sharp lactic flavour, although Guinness has refused to confirm whether this still occurs. The thick creamy head is the result of the beer being mixed with nitrogen when being poured. It is popular with Irish people both in Ireland and abroad and is the best-selling alcoholic drink in Ireland where Guinness & Co. makes almost €2 billion annually. The brewery also produces Guinness Original, a 4.3% ABV version of the Draught, without the nitrogen; Kaliber, a low alcohol pale lager; Guinness Bitter, a 4.4% bitter sold in a can with a widget; and the 7.5% Guinness Foreign Extra Stout.

Varieties

Guinness stout is available in a number of variants and strengths, which include:
 * Guinness Draught, sold in kegs, widget cans, and bottles: 4.1 to 4.3% alcohol by volume (abv); the Extra Cold is served through a super cooler at 3.5 °C (38.3 °F).
 * Guinness Original/Extra Stout: 4.2 or 4.3% ABV in Ireland and the rest of Europe, 4.1% in Germany, 4.8% in Namibia and South Africa, 5.6% in the United States and Canada, and 6% in Australia and Japan.
 * Guinness Foreign Extra Stout: 7.5% abv version sold in Europe, America, Africa, the Caribbean and Asia. The basis is unfermented but hopped Guinness wort extract shipped from Dublin, which is added to local ingredients and brewed locally. The strength can vary, for example, it is sold at 5% ABV in China, 6.5% ABV in Jamaica and East Africa, and 8% ABV in Singapore. In Nigeria a proportion of sorghum is used. Foreign Extra Stout is blended with a small amount of intentionally soured beer.
 * Guinness Special Export Stout, sold in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands, originally brewed in 1945 for the NAAFI to be sent to British troops stationed in Europe.
 * Guinness Bitter, an English-style bitter beer: 4.4% ABV.
 * Guinness Extra Smooth, a smoother stout sold in Ghana, Cameroon and Nigeria: 5.5% ABV.
 * Malta Guinness, a non-alcoholic sweet drink, produced in Nigeria and exported to the UK and Malaysia.
 * Guinness Mid-Strength, a low-alcohol stout test-marketed in Limerick, Ireland in March 2006 and Dublin from May 2007: 2.8% ABV.
 * Kaliber, a premium alcohol-free lager. It is brewed as a full-strength lager; then at the end of the brewing process, the alcohol is removed: 0.05% ABV.
 * Guinness Red, brewed in exactly the same way as Guinness except that the barley is only lightly roasted so that it produces a lighter, slightly fruitier red ale; test-marketed in Britain in February 2007: 4.1% ABV.
 * 250 Anniversary Stout, released in the US, Australia and Singapore on 24 April 2009: 5% ABV.
 * Guinness Nitro IPA, introduced in September 2015. An ale made with 5 varieties of hops (admiral, celeia, topaz, challenger, and cascade).  It is packaged in cans with a nitrogen widget at 5.8% ABV.

In 2005, Guinness announced the Brewhouse Series, a limited-edition collection of draught stouts available for roughly six months each. There were three beers in the series:
 * Brew 39 was launched in October 2005. It used the late addition of hops to "give it a smooth and distinctive finish".
 * Toucan Brew was introduced in May 2006. It was named after the cartoon toucan used in many Guinness advertisements. This beer had a crisper taste with a slightly sweet aftertaste due to its triple-hopped brewing process.
 * North Star was introduced in October 2006 and sold until late 2007. Three million pints of North Star were sold in the latter half of 2007.

Despite an announcement in June 2007 that the fourth Brewhouse stout would be launched in October that year, no new beer appeared and, at the end of 2007, the Brewhouse series appeared to have been quietly cancelled.

Withdrawn Guinness variants include Guinness's Brite Lager, Guinness's Brite Ale, Guinness Light, Guinness XXX Extra Strong Stout, Guinness Cream Stout, Guinness Gold, Guinness Pilsner, Guinness Breó (a slightly citrusy wheat beer), Guinness Shandy, and Guinness Special Light. Breó (meaning 'glow' in ancient Irish) was a wheat beer; it cost around 5 million Irish pounds to develop.

For a short time in the late 1990s, Guinness produced the "St James's Gate" range of craft-style beers, available in a small number of Dublin pubs. The beers were: Pilsner Gold, Wicked Red Ale, Wildcat Wheat Beer and Dark Angel Lager.

A brewing byproduct of Guinness, Guinness Yeast Extract (GYE), was produced until the 1950s.

Guinness family
A grandson of the original Arthur Guinness, Sir Benjamin Guinness, was a Lord Mayor of Dublin and was created a baronet in 1867, only to die the next year. His eldest son Arthur, Baron Ardilaun (1840–1915), sold control of the brewery to Sir Benjamin's third son Edward (1847–1927), who was created Lord Iveagh in 1891 and Earl of Iveagh in 1919. Edward Guinness launched the company on the London Stock Exchange in 1886. Up until then, the only other partners outside of the Guinness family were members of the Purser family, who shared control of the brewery throughout most of the nineteenth century. He, his son Rupert and great-grandson Benjamin, the second and third Earls, chaired the Guinness company until the third earl's death in 1992. There are no longer any members of the Guinness family on the board.

Plans
On 17 June 2007, The Sunday Independent first reported that Diageo was considering selling most of the St. James's Gate Brewery to take advantage of high property prices in Ireland. The story was widely picked up by both national and international media organisations, but the proposal to build a new Dublin brewery at Leixlip on land belonging to Desmond Guinness was cancelled by the end of 2008. By then Irish property prices had dropped, and so the possibility of selling much of the current brewery to meet the lower cost of building a new one had passed.

The following day, the Irish Daily Mail ran a follow-up story with a double-page spread complete with images and a history of the plant since 1759. Initially, Diageo said that talk of a move was pure speculation but in the face of mounting speculation in the wake of the Sunday Independent article, the company confirmed that it is undertaking a "significant review of its operations". This review is largely due to the efforts of the company's ongoing drive to reduce the environmental impact of brewing at the St James's Gate plant.

On 23 November 2007, an article appeared in the Evening Herald, a Dublin newspaper, stating that Dublin City Council, in the best interests of the city of Dublin, had put forward a motion to prevent planning permission ever being granted for the development of the site thus making it very difficult for Diageo to sell off the site for residential development.

On 9 May 2008, Diageo announced that the St James's Gate brewery will remain open and undergo renovations, but that breweries in Kilkenny and Dundalk will be closed by 2013 when a new larger brewery is opened near Dublin. The result will be a loss of roughly 250 jobs across the entire Diageo/Guinness workforce in Ireland. Two days later, the Sunday Independent again reported that Diageo chiefs had met with Tánaiste Mary Coughlan, the deputy leader of the Government of Ireland, about moving operations to Ireland from the UK to benefit from its lower corporation tax rates. Several UK firms have made the move to pay Ireland's 12.5 per cent rate rather than the UK's 28 per cent rate. Diageo released a statement to the London Stock Exchange denying the report.

In 2015, Diageo launched the Brewers Project, in an attempt to diversify the company's product range and expand into the craft beer industry which had become popular. Hop House 13, a lager named after a store at the St James's Gate brewery extant in the early 20th century, was heavily promoted on YouTube and social media.

Camino de Santiago
St. James's Gate in Dublin was traditionally the main starting point for Irish pilgrims to begin their journey on the Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James). The pilgrims' passports were stamped here before setting sail, usually for A Coruña, north of Santiago. It is still possible for Irish pilgrims to get these traditional documents stamped both at Guinness Storehouse and St James' Church, and many do, while on their way to Santiago de Compostela.

Guinness Storehouse

Guinness Storehouse, the "Home of Guinness", is Dublin's most popular tourist attraction. A converted brewing factory, it is now a Guinness museum, incorporating elements from the old brewing factory to explain the history of its production. Some of the old brewing equipment is on show, as well as stout ingredients, brewing techniques, advertising methods and storage devices.

The exhibition takes place over seven floors, in the shape of a 14 million-pint glass of Guinness. The final floor is the Gravity Bar, which has an almost 360° panorama over the city, where visitors can claim a pint of "the black stuff".

The storehouse is where they used to add the yeast to the beer for fermentation.

Guinness Storehouse visitors do not get to see the beer being brewed in front of them, but from various vantage points in the building, you may see parts of the brewhouse, vats, grain silos and the keg yard.

Transformation theory (quantum mechanics)

The term transformation theory refers to a procedure and a "picture" used by Paul Dirac in his early formulation of quantum theory, from around 1927.

This "transformation" idea refers to the changes a quantum state undergoes in the course of time, whereby its vector "moves" between "positions" or "orientations" in its Hilbert space. Time evolution, quantum transitions, and symmetry transformations in quantum mechanics may thus be viewed as the systematic theory of abstract, generalized rotations in this space of quantum state vectors.

Remaining in full use today, it would be regarded as a topic in the mathematics of Hilbert space, although, technically speaking, it is somewhat more general in scope. While the terminology is reminiscent of rotations of vectors in ordinary space, the Hilbert space of a quantum object is more general and holds its entire quantum state.

(The term further sometimes evokes the wave–particle duality, according to which a particle (a "small" physical object) may display either particle or wave aspects, depending on the observational situation. Or, indeed, a variety of intermediate aspects, as the situation demands.)

List of Doctor Who robots

The long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who has featured a multitude of robots since its original airing in 1963.

Despite appearing as robots, both the Daleks and Cybermen are not listed here, as they are depicted as organic creatures that have been transformed into cyborgs, as opposed to completely inorganic and true robots.

K1
The Doctor's first enemy in his fourth incarnation. It is the main villain during ‘’Robot’’.

K2
An upgraded version of K1 appearing in the comic Robo Rampage (2016).

K9

A robotic dog that serves as the companion to The Doctor, during the latter half of his fourth incarnation. The first iteration of the dog was acquired by The Doctor during The Invisible Enemy.

Kamelion
A shape-shifting android acquired by the Fifth Doctor as a companion at the end of the two-part story The King's Demons (1983). Kamelion was weak-willed, allowing The Master to be able to take control of him on two occasions.

Mechonoid

Mechonoids (sometimes spelled 'Mechanoids') are large, multifaceted, spherical robots created by humans. They first appear in the second season serial, The Chase (1965), being sent to prepare the planet Mechanus for colonisation. While working on the colonisation task, they imprison stranded astronaut Steven Taylor due to him not having their control codes. A group of Daleks, pursuing the TARDIS crew, engaged the Mechanoids in battle; which side was victorious is not shown.

In the original shooting script, they were to be called 'Mechons', but this was changed shortly before filming. But some actors had already memorised lines from the previous draft, leading to the robots being erroneously referred to as Mechons in some dialogue in the finished episodes. Accidental misspellings in media publications and offial sources have led to confusion about the spelling of 'Mechonoids'. Originally intended to be spelled with an 'o' as a slight revision of the name 'Mechon', the name has been commonly misspelled with an 'a' both in episode credits and in other sources.

The Mechanoids next appeared in the TV21 comic strip story The Eve of War (1966). They are depicted as the sworn enemies of the Daleks. A race of blue-skinned humanoids subtly interfere with events, using a robot called K2, in order to prevent a war. This was followed by a further comic strip appearance (where they are again referenced as "Mechanoids") in the story The World That Waits, included in the 1966 The Dalek World annual. The narrative depicts a Dalek attack on Mechanus resulting in the destruction of a Mechanoid city.

Movellan
Movellans are an android species originating from outside the galaxy. They make their first appearance in the 17th season serial, Destiny of the Daleks (1979) as adversaries of the Daleks.

Nanogene
Nanogenes are 'flocking' nanobots that repair damaged tissue. In the two-part story, The Empty Child (2005) and The Doctor Dances (2005), Nanogenes inadvertently use a dead child as a template, reproducing the same injuries on anyone they touch. The Nanogenes restore those affected after they are provided with a complete human template.

Quark
The Quarks first appeared in the Second Doctor serial The Dominators (1969).

These robots were rectangularly shaped, with four arms: one pair folding into the body, the other pair being retractable. On the end of each arm was a solitary claw. The spherical head was divided into octants; the upper four octants formed the sensory hemisphere, which detected changes in light, heat and motion. At five of the corners of the octants were directional crystal beam transmitters (the sixth corner joined with the robot's neck). They communicated by means of high-pitched frequency, possibly contributing to their tendency to run out of energy quickly, which was their primary weakness.

The Quarks were used on the planet Dulkis by the Dominators to enslave and terrorise the indigenous Dulcian population to ensure the drilling of bore holes through the planet's crust. The Dominators planned to use their technology to fire down the holes, forcing the core to erupt, providing a new fuel source for their fleet.

A Quark was also seen in the serial The War Games.

Quarks are also referred to in the Big Finish Productions audio drama Flip-Flop. In this, they attacked the space yacht Pinto, where the Seventh Doctor and Mel sought leptonite crystals in order to defeat them. It is not known however, whether the Doctor defeated the Quarks on that occasion. The Quarks were also mentioned, and mocked viciously, in the Doctor Who Unbound audio play Exile.

On the BBC website, Captain Jack's Monster Files entry for the Vespiform mention that they may have been at war with "Quark rebels".

The Quarks were also portrayed by children in their appearances

Raston Warrior Robot
The Raston Warrior Robot was found in the Death Zone on Gallifrey; capable of moving faster than lightning and taking out a troop of Cybermen in seconds. Due to their extreme movement speed, they are only visible when remaining stationary. To pair with this, its targeting systems are primarily based on detecting movement.

Physically, the robot is very lithe, moving around to scan its environment for targets, and jumping around almost like a ballet dancer when attacking. Its face is smooth with no visible eyes. According to the Eighth Doctor Adventures novel The Eight Doctors by Terrance Dicks, the robots were built by an ancient race, older than the Time Lords, who were ultimately destroyed by their own weapons. However, the novel Alien Bodies by Lawrence Miles claims this was false advertising on the part of their manufacturers. It uses atomic radiation as a power source, drawing it from the atmosphere, and locks onto electrical impulses in the brain of its victim, but can become confused if it meets two beings with the same brain pattern.

A Raston Warrior Robot appears in the Past Doctor Adventure World Game, also by Dicks, and in the game Destiny of the Doctors.

Russell T Davies, in the March 2008 issue of Doctor Who Magazine, expressed interest in bringing the Raston Warrior Robot back in the new series of Doctor Who, citing the battle between the Robot and the Cybermen in "The Five Doctors" as one of the finest in the show's history. This has thus far not transpired.

Roboform
The Roboforms, also referred to as Pilot Fish by the Tenth Doctor, were scavengers often used by other species for their own means. They were shown allied with the Sycorax and the Racnoss, as well as the Pandorica Alliance., helping to seal the Eleventh Doctor in the Pandorica. The Empress of the Racnoss herself had an armed guard of Roboforms, which the Tenth Doctor infiltrated and knocked out.

They are shown to sometimes disguise themselves in Santa Claus outfits to avoid suspicion. Their weaponry was also disguised as conventional Earth items, such as flamethrowers in the guise of tubas and Christmas Trees capable of spinning fast enough to slice people apart. They are also shown to be capable of detecting Regeneration energy. Without disguises, Roboforms naturally have golden bullet shaped heads with two indentations on either side where a human's eyes would be.

Sandminer Robots
In The Robots of Death (1977), three types of slave robots were created by a distant human society are shown. These robots were originally built to perform menial tasks. In at least one instance, these robots took to raising a human child, Taren Capel. He eventually learned to reprogram the robots to kill humans, and attempted to stage a robot revolution.

The three classes of robots were: These robots made appearances in:
 * D-class, colloquially known as Dums; were incapable of speech and merely followed orders.
 * V-class or Vocs were capable of verbal response and performing slightly more complex tasks, but ultimately no more intelligent than the D-class.
 * SV-class, or Supervocs were capable of reason and decision-making, and were used to coordinate and direct the other robots. Supervocs have also been shown to be utilised in detective work.
 * The Robots of Death, a Fourth Doctor serial with Leela, written by Chris Boucher
 * Corpse Marker, a Fourth Doctor novel with Leela written by Chris Boucher

 * Robophobia, a Seventh Doctor audio play, written by Nicholas Briggs

Teselecta
The Teselecta, first shown in "Let's Kill Hitler", is a robot with the ability to change its appearance. It is commanded by humans shrunk by a miniaturisation ray and kept at that size by a compression field. Teselecta are sent through time by an organisation called The Justice Department, with the job of removing people the department judges deserving of punishment from their time period. They are grabbed just prior to their death in order to be tortured.

In "Let's Kill Hitler", Amy Pond and Rory Williams are trapped within a Teselecta and chased by its robotic "immune system". Wrist-bands worn by the crew serve as reverse antibodies, preventing the "immune system" from attacking them, and anybody not wearing one with proper identification status is incinerated. Later in the episode, the crew of the Teselecta is evacuated by what appears to be a transmat beam.

The Teselecta reappear in the Series 6 finale "The Wedding of River Song". In the episode, the Eleventh Doctor is shown being killed at Lake Silencio, Utah, however, it is later revealed that he hid with his TARDIS inside of a Teselecta, which takes his form, making it appear as though he had been killed.

Katherine (Seton novel)

Katherine is a 1954 historical novel by American author Anya Seton. It tells the story of the historically important, 14th-century love affair in England between the eponymous Katherine Swynford and John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, the third surviving son of King Edward III.

At the time of its publication, Kirkus Reviews called it the author's "most distinguished book". In 2003, Katherine was ranked 95 in the BBC's Big Read survey of Britain's best-loved novels. It is commonly regarded as a prime example of historical fiction and has been continuously in print since its publication date.

Plot summary
Katherine tells the true story of Katherine de Roet, born the daughter of a minor Flemish herald, later knight. Katherine has no obvious prospects, except that her sister Philippa Roet is a waiting-woman to Queen Philippa, wife of King Edward III, and betrothed to (later the wife of) Geoffrey Chaucer, then a minor court official. By virtue of this connection, Katherine meets and marries Sir Hugh Swynford of Lincolnshire and gives birth to a son, Thomas, and a daughter, Blanchette.

After Hugh's death, Katherine becomes the mistress of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, and bears him four children out of wedlock; they are given the surname 'Beaufort' after one of the Duke's possessions. She is also appointed official governess to the Duke's two daughters by his first wife, Blanche of Lancaster, and helps raise his son by Blanche, the future King Henry IV. The Duke and Katherine separate for a number of years, immediately following Wat Tyler's Peasants' Revolt in 1381, when the rioting peasants sacked and burnt the Duke's Savoy Palace to the ground. The novel's explanation for their separation is Katherine's shock over revelations concerning the death of her husband. However, the couple eventually reconcile and marry after the death of the Duke's second wife. The Beaufort children, now grown, are legitimised by royal and papal decrees after Katherine and the Duke are married.

Reception
Katherine is considered Seton's most well-known work as well as the best-known depiction of Katherine herself. In 2003, Katherine was ranked 95 in the BBC's Big Read survey of Britain's best-loved novels. It is commonly regarded as a prime example of historical fiction and romance, with Vanora Bennett of The Independent noting in 2010 that it "set the benchmark in high-medieval romance, and few have matched her since". It has been continuously in print since its publication date.

In 2006, Margaret Moser of the Austin Chronicle described the novel as "a glorious example of romance in its most classic literary sense: exhilarating, exuberant, and rich with the jeweled tones of England in the 1300s". Nick Rennison believes that the novel has retained its popularity "because of the skill with which [Seton] evokes the world her heroine enters and because Katherine herself remains such a powerful character".

Criticism
As a historical romance, Katherine is considered well written and carefully researched, given that Seton was not a historian or paleographer and was working in the 1950s, when sources were less widely available. It diverges comparatively little from known history, though since archival documentation of Katherine's life is limited, it does contain some necessary conjecture. Though subsequent non-fiction accounts of Katherine, including those by historians Alison Weir and Jeanette Lucraft, make clear that Seton's various speculations were partly and sometimes significantly incorrect, the novel does provide the reader with a reasonably accurate view of medieval England, life at court, and the lives of women in the 14th century, along with intelligent and sensitive glimpses of Chaucer, Katherine's brother-in-law.

In addition, Katherine is one of the few fictional texts that include writings by the Blessed Julian of Norwich, a character in the novel, who is considered one of England's greatest mystics and whose Revelations of Divine Love was the first book written in English by a woman. Katherine is also considered one of the greatest examples of a historical-fiction love story ever written. In a poll conducted in the 1990s by Ladies' Home Journal, the novel ranked among the top-ten all-time best love stories.

Weir was inspired by Katherine to become an author of historical fiction, and the novel would also later inspire her non-fiction study, Katherine Swynford: The Story of John of Gaunt and his Scandalous Duchess (2008) (U.S. title, Mistress of the Monarchy, The Life of Katherine Swynford, Duchess of Lancaster). It examines Seton's novel in historiographic terms and, while praising its general historical accuracy, categorizes it as primarily a feminist romance.

Philippa Gregory wrote a foreword published in the 2004 edition.

A 2004 audiobook is read by Wanda McCaddon.

Bob Peak

Robert M. Peak (May 30, 1927 – August 1, 1992) was an American commercial illustrator. He is best known for his developments in the design of the modern film poster.

His artwork has been on the cover of Time magazine, TV Guide, and Sports Illustrated. He also illustrated advertisements and U.S. postage stamps.

Early life
Bob Peak was born in Denver, Colorado, and grew up in Wichita, Kansas. He knew from an early age that he wanted to be a commercial illustrator. He majored in geology at the University of Wichita (nka Wichita State University) and got a part-time job in the art department of McCormick-Armstrong. After serving in the military during the Korean War, Peak transferred to the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, California, graduating in 1951.

In 1953, Peak moved to New York City and landed an Old Hickory Whiskey advertising campaign. His work went on to appear in major advertising and national magazines.

He was the father of Matthew Peak, who is best known for illustrating posters for the Nightmare on Elm Street film series.

Career
United Artists studio hired Peak in 1961 to design the poster images for the film West Side Story. The success of Peak's work on that film led to work on posters for designer Bill Gold, including the big-budget musicals My Fair Lady and Camelot. In the mid-1970s, Peak's style would become familiar to fans of science fiction films when he created the poster art for the futuristic film Rollerball (1975), which was followed by the first five Star Trek films, Superman (1978), Excalibur (1981), both Derek Flint films, Apocalypse Now (1979), The Spy Who Loved Me and other James Bond concepts. By the 1980s, only the film poster artist Drew Struzan was in as much demand by film directors.

Peak received a commission from the U.S. Postal Service to design 30 stamps for the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles and the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia.

From January 20 through April 17, 2011, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented the "Bob Peak: Creating the Modern Movie Poster" exhibit at its headquarters building in Beverly Hills.

Peak taught in his own college and later at Art Students League of New York, Pratt Institute and Famous Artists School.

Front cover of Devil May Cry from the NTSC-US version, showing Dante wielding his Alastor Sword, and his shotgun.

Fair use rationale
It is believed that the use of this image qualifies as fair use in the article Devil May Cry (video game) because:

 * Capcom has released no such images into the public domain, and a replacement image could not be created that would adequately provide the same information
 * The image is being used for no purpose other than to identify the subject of the article
 * The image resolution has been significantly decreased from the original, so copies made from it would be of inferior quality
 * The use of this image neither detracts from the game nor inhibits its salability in any way

Talk:Tatar alphabet

The last table does not show well (its header; some last columns are not properly separated). I tried to correct it a little but did not manage to.

Screwy table
The table for the alphabet change is kinda screwed up. I translated the heads of the columns into English, but they don't line up right (and sometimes don't seem to show). If anybody could get that to work right, that'd be nice

İQTElif
Does anyone know anything about İQTElif?

User:Ultranet seems to like it a lot and presents a lot of reasons for it, but can anyone confirm its usage anywhere? I have a strong suspicion that it is original research. --Amir E. Aharoni 13:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Tatar Wikipedia
Which version of the Latin alphabet is used at the Tatar Wikipedia?

Thanks. --Amir E. Aharoni 13:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't speak the language, but I'd say it's Zamanälif, based on the use of "ä", which seems to not exist in ÍQTElif. 65.57.245.11 23:49, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

The article calls the alphabet "Zamanälif", claiming this to be the native spelling, but the Tatar Wikipedia uses "Yañalif" for the corresponding section header. Whence this difference? 65.57.245.11 23:49, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Ultranet's edits
I reverted User:Ultranet's edits that restored the parts about İQTElif. I can understand his frustration about the issue, but the reasons for deleting it are outlined and discussed at Articles for deletion/İQTElif.

Also, i restored "citation needed" notices on the parts about "human rights violations". The link to the Russian federal law about alphabets works now, but it doesn't explain how does it constitute a human rights violation. --Amir E. Aharoni 17:35, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

IPA transcription
I came here to provide an IPA transcription, per the template saying that it was needed, but I am unable to transcribe the contents of this article for the following reason:
 * The layman's pronunciations given were clearly given by someone whose dialect of English is very different than mine, and I am unable to decipher what sounds they intend by their example words. For example, "kiss" and "read" are given as examples of the ĺ sound. This is a problem because in my dialect, they are two completely different vowels, [ɪ] and [i]. Since I don't speak Tatar, I don't know which of these sounds this letter actually corresponds to. Unless it is possible to clean up the example sounds so they are more standardized English pronunciation, you may need to find someone who both speaks Tatar and can transcribe IPA to get the transcriptions you need on this page. keɪɑtɪk flʌfi (talk) 14:28, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

"ɵ" or "ө" ?
There is different between "ɵ" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C6%9F and "ө" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D3%A8

Once is Latin and one is Cyrilic. So which one was accepted by the Tatar government? There is difference between them, and altough Latin was introduced, in this article as well as on the internet is used Cyrilic variant of it.

zamanalif should be deleted
as i know, and i know it quite well, zamanalif is just "original research" alphabet developed by 1 or 2 persons, and they themselves have written about it here. and this alphabet was used only in his/their several sites. and that sites do not work now, for several years. --Qdinar (talk) 16:30, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Nyotaimori

History? Origin? Anything?
Can we please get some actual history and origins for nyotaimori and nantaimori? Feminist critique isn't relevant to a wikipedia article. I was hoping to find how widespread, how common, and how old the practice is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.79.61.198 (talk) 18:13, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
 * the currently used sources are obviously *not* of encyclopedic quality. In other words, the samurai claims are quite obviously pure bullshit if only because sushi in it's modern form (Edomae zushi) was created near the end of the edo period, several centuries after samurai infighting had ceased. The cizo.com Japanese source seems to have done some pretty decent research, (including documenting that before refrigeration it would have been just too dangerous to serve sushi on top of a hot body), and it's claim should be used instead, which that this appeared during the 60's in some hot spring cities where competition for customers in an soaring economy led them to develop various adventurous sexual services to lure them. --Jmdwp (talk) 20:38, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Might actual history be politically correct? Null catch invalidation! Who would document eating sushi off a peer? For the same twisted reasons we photograph our meals to boast our health when, poo represents a better picture and abhor cannibalism. Yet, the persistent goat gets the goose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.0.150.5 (talk) 01:42, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

A Short Poetics of Cruel Food has all of one paragraph in it on nyotaimori which reads as follows : "The cruelty of Japanese nyotaimori, which translates as “female body presentation” and is also known as “body sushi,” consists in its humiliating treatment of the model from whose naked body the food is taken. Its piece-by-piece removal by diners mirrors the objectifying mode of the striptease in that more of her body is revealed as more sushi is eaten. Unlike the stripper however, who might be said to control the revealing process, the model is entirely at the mercy of her consuming audience. At best, the practice reduces the model to the status of receptacle who must endure the discomforts of ogling, banter, and prodding with chopsticks. At worst, she assumes a status equivalent to the other commodified flesh with which her skin so closely merges. Unsurprisingly, nyotaimori restaurants are popular in organized-crime circles."

To me this reads as biassed against sex workers, orientalist, and it does not provide a citation for the popularity of organized crime --Cravatitude (talk) 00:07, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

I want to weight in on this that the article still seems very anti in its weight almost like criticising objectification of women against their will instead of a practice that's freely done by both sides. The wording around "rules" also make it sound like there's strict decorum in behaviour. For instance the chopstick part mentions that touching is often prohibited but from what I know traditionally only skin to skin contact is prohibited and chopsticks are quite regularly used to touch and prod a geisha. There's also not usually any etiquette about conversation with personal bodily remarks of the subject and her body being discussed as standard. Biofase flame | stalk 17:30, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Image accuracy
The models in these photos are all wearing g-strings. This seems to be a Westernisation as traditionally a geisha would not wear anything on her body and while food may be placed as strategic covering these may often be the first to go. Biofase flame | stalk 17:08, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
