Talk:Alexia (condition)

First post
P. T. O.   VS    POT - is that the same? which one is the error? (clem 00:26, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC))

Presentation
The reference to Fast ForWord redirects the reader to a site in Ireland offering treatment for Developmental Dyslexia. As such it is a non-sequitur and I suggest it be removed. --Drmarc 22:06, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

alexia(the name)
the name alexia is a greek name for beautifull.

 * That is due to the difference between a Greek root that starts with an "A" (it actually means "defender"), and a latin root "lex" to which an "A" is added. Just an unfortunate coincidence, I suppose.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Khanaris (talk • contribs) 16:43, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed Merge from Alexia without agraphia
My step-father was afflicted alexia without agraphia in 2004, due to stroke. Really, the only acceptable reason I can imagine for a merge of the articles is that the current stub is so small. The action that really needs to be taken is that the stub needs to be made into a whole article. Not being able to read - including what one has just written flawlessly - is so intensely different (in terms of experience) from anything else I know of that it really does deserve its own article. For example, during his retraining he finally mastered the ability to recognize letters and say them out loud, but still could not read words, even though he knew all the spellings. From almost when he woke up, his ability to know what a word was if the letters were said out loud to him was undamaged. Eventually, he discovered that he was able to read the letters out loud, hear himself then know what the word was. (How much of this was neural plasticity and how much natural ability? I don't know ..) But, if he didn't say each letter out loud, he still could not read the words, even if he recognized the individual letters. He was not able to describe why or how exactly this felt, other than he found the whole thing perplexing but also fascinating, like a peek into how his own brain works. One anecdote probably isn't encyclopedic, and I don't know the overall feel that would be typical for a group of patients, but more information about the little details of the disorder would certainly help flesh out the article. Zaphraud (talk) 06:36, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Trying to improve the Alexia article
The current article only hints at what Alexia is. There are a great subtypes of alexia, many of which have multiple names. Bascically there are the Classical or Neuroanatomical Alexias
 * 1)Alexia with Agraphia (Central Alexia)
 * 2)Alexia with out Agraphia (Pure Alexia)
 * 3)Frontal Alexia
 * 4)Spatial Alexia

The researchers in the 1970s and 1980s then needed to develop models of the reading task to try to explain the further subtypes they were seeing and identifying.

Psycholinguistic - Central Alexias (with an aphasia)
 * 1)Deep dyslexia (alexia)
 * 2)Phonological dyslexia (alexia)
 * 3)Semantic dyslexia (alexia)
 * 4)Surface dyslexia (alexia)

Psycholinguistic - Peripheral Alexias
 * 1)Pure Alexia
 * 2)Neglect Alexia
 * 3)Attentional Alexia

The sub type names used above at as far I can identify are the names used by present day researchers. Many of the types of Alexia listed have multiple alternative names, which need to be listed in the article.

There are already many existing Wikipedia articles regarding some of the various Subtypes of Alexia, and also many subtypes of Alexia which as yest do not have a corresponding Wikipedia article.

So there is a great deal to do improve this and the series of related Wikipedia articles. dolfrog (talk) 15:44, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

This article most importantly needs a better definition of alexia itself. Currently there is no explanation beyond a sentence in the leading section of the actual symptoms (not associated symptoms) of alexia. Mousewings (talk) 16:01, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject Dyslexia/Reorganization 2010 a new discussion
Hi All

I will also be posting a copy of the content below on the Talk page of the   Dyslexia article.

The Wiki Project Dyslexia, was set up 2007 with the aim of improving  dyslexia article on Wikipedia. The first step was seen as summerising the existing 2007 article, and creating a series of specialised sub articles to provide more detailed information with regard to the many specialised areas of dyslexia. Much of this has now been achieved, especially during 2009 and 2010. The dyslexia article now meets many more of the required standards as set out by Wikipedia, and has a more universal sourced content.

So we need to move on and set up some new goals for the Wiki Project Dyslexia. Currently the content of the dyslexia article only relates to developmental dyslexia, and not the wider range of topics which are also part of the inclusive definitions of dyslexia, such as  Alexia (acquired dyslexia), the various theoretical "Models of Reading" which have resulted from various strands of dyslexia research.

To help us move on I edited some of the Wiki Project Dyslexia sub-articles in an attempt ot open a discussion as to the next steps to be taken by the Wiki Project Dyslexia with regard to ALL of the Wikipedia dyslexia related articles, some of which may still need to be identified. I have made some changes and additions to the Wiki Project Dyslexia articles, There are more sub articles that go to make up the Wiki Project Dyslexia, but thye have not been recently revised or edited.

 * WikiProject Dyslexia/Proposed organization
 * WikiProject Dyslexia/Dyslexia sub-articles

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Alexia (condition) and Dyslexia. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, doing so without constructive discussion on the relevant Talk page is very likely to lead to a block. FelixRosch (TALK) 19:16, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

May be you should hold these discussions on the articles talk pages and not in a provate user page discussion. This is not wikipedia practice more aboutg doscussing your personal opinions. which are not basedd on international research. And from what i have seen is more anout the marketing of various group ideas not improving the articles content using international research. So yopur changes are inliner with wikipedia practice but more discussing your ownj provate opinions in private and not on the various articles diacussion pages with other users / editors 86.177.99.37 (talk) 21:19, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Prehistoric Egypt

Grammar and Language
"The vast majority of Predynastic archaeological finds have been in Upper Egypt, because the silt of the Nile River was more heavily deposited at the Delta region, completely burying most Delta sites long before modern times.[1]" though useful, is another example of syntax and comfortable language seamlessly making concepts of Upper and Lower Egypt confusing to intuition. A better statement could be made with a reference footnote such as: "The vast majority of Predynadtic arcahelogical finds have been in Upper Egypt." Aside from language concerns, and the quasi-academic grammar of the quoted reference, the "because" statement presumes sites existed of any significance which could be excavated. The statement is opinion, not empirical fact, misleading, and confusing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.73.92.28 (talk) 03:40, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Return to Eden

Return to Eden is an Australian television drama series starring Rebecca Gilling, James Reyne, Wendy Hughes and James Smillie. It began as a three-part, six-hour mini-series shown on Network Ten on September 27–29, 1983. Gilling and Smillie reprised their roles, with Peta Toppano replacing Hughes, for a 22-part weekly series that began airing on 10 February 1986.

Return to Eden was created by Michael Laurence; it was an international success, particularly in Russia and France, where it has been shown 13 times.

Synopsis
"My name is Stephanie Harper, and this is Eden – here my father was king. On the day he died 17 years ago, I was 23, lonely and afraid. If I'd known then of the nightmare that lay ahead, I think I'd have chosen to die with him."

Stephanie Harper (Gilling) is a dull, frumpy 40-year-old heiress. Rich but insecure, and with two teenage children and two failed marriages behind her, she marries a handsome but unscrupulous younger man, tennis pro Greg Marsden (Reyne). Stephanie believes that she has found true love, but after the wedding, Greg promptly begins an affair with Stephanie's best friend Jilly Stewart (Hughes). Greg then plots to get rid of Stephanie and lay claim to her fortune. Whilst on their honeymoon, Greg pushes Stephanie into a crocodile-infested swamp, and he and Jilly watch as she is apparently mauled to death.

However, Stephanie miraculously survives and is later found washed up on a river bank by hermit Dave Welles (Bill Kerr). Dave nurses Stephanie back to health, but her face and body are horrifically scarred from the encounter with the crocodile. Dave gives her precious gems that he mined locally, so that she can use them to try to move on with her life. Stephanie sells the gems and goes to an island clinic where she meets Dr. Dan Marshall (Smillie), a brilliant plastic surgeon who uses his talents to repair her face and body. After months of operations and physical exercise, Stephanie has been transformed into a very beautiful woman. Using the new alias of Tara Welles, given to her by Dave, Stephanie returns to Sydney and becomes a glamorous supermodel who later appears on the cover of Vogue. Using her new identity and fortune, she plots her revenge on both Greg and Jilly and aims to take back what is rightfully hers, particularly her beloved family home Eden, a vast mansion estate in the Northern Territory.

Production
The mini-series was shot in Sydney, the Darling Downs, the Barrier Reef and Arnhem Land and had a budget of AUS$2.5 million. The Eden property itself was shot on location at Jimbour Homestead. American director Karen Arthur directed the mini-series.

Reception
The mini-series was a huge ratings success in Australia, earning a share of 42%.

Weekly series (1986)
Such was the enormous success of the mini-series that Return to Eden returned as a regular weekly series. Produced in 1985 and screened on TV in 1986, the weekly series had a budget of AUS$8 million.

The events of the series take place seven years after the end of the original mini-series, with Stephanie now married to Dr. Dan Marshall and living at New Eden, a mansion in Sydney. Stephanie's children, Sarah and Dennis, both teenagers in the mini-series, are now adults, played by Nicki Paull and Peter Cousens. The opening episode featured Jilly's release from prison and the discovery that she is Stephanie's half-sister. Ongoing storylines dealt with her bitter jealousy and rivalry with Stephanie as she strives to take what she believes should rightfully be hers. The most prominent storyline was Stephanie's continued attempts to keep control of the family company, Harper Mining, which ruthless businessman Jake Sanders (Daniel Abineri) was trying to take away from her. It was revealed that Jake was in fact the brother of the late Greg Marsden, out to avenge his death. He eventually teamed up with Jilly to achieve his goal. Rebecca Gilling and James Smillie both reprised their roles from the original mini-series, while Peta Toppano replaced Wendy Hughes as Jilly Stewart, playing her as a glamorous, scheming "superbitch", much in the style of Dynasty's Alexis Colby.

Ending
The final episode screened in Australia on 8 July 1986 concluded with a cliffhanger ending in anticipation of a second season. Closing scenes featured Dennis being knocked unconscious and kidnapped by an unseen assailant, meanwhile, upstairs at Stephanie's mansion while a party went on downstairs, Jilly pulls a gun on Stephanie in yet another attempt to kill her. Jake attempts to wrest the gun from Jilly but the gun goes off in the struggle, fatally wounding him and splattering Stephanie with his blood. Stephanie grabs the gun away from Jilly, while Jake careens down the hallway before falling down the stairs where he dies in full view of the shocked party guests. A horrified Stephanie, with blood on her face and clothes and still holding the gun in her hand, appears at the stairway. Jilly then descends the stairs, claiming to have seen Stephanie shoot him.

The show's ratings had not been high enough in Australia to justify a renewal so this cliffhanger was never initially resolved for Australian audiences. The actors playing Stephanie, Jilly and Dennis were later brought back to film a hasty five-minute conclusion to the various unresolved storylines that was added to the end of the final episode in order to bring the series to a close. Dennis' abductor is revealed as Chris (Graham Harvey), his half-brother and Stephanie and Amahl's long-lost son, who abandons his plan to hold Dennis for ransom when he is told he would stand to inherit millions. Chris is revealed to have witnessed the shooting incident from the bedroom balcony at Eden, and taken photographs that prove Stephanie's innocence. Stephanie is released while Jilly is arrested for Jake's murder.

This new ending was never seen in the original Australian run and only included in the version of the last episode that was sold internationally. Network Ten repeated the series twice in the 1990s and at least one screening contained this revised ending.

Analysis
The 1986 series of Return to Eden was clearly intended as an Australian answer to the glamorous American "supersoaps" Dallas, Dynasty and Falcon Crest, with the requisite ostentatious fashions, boardroom struggles, bedroom romps and outrageous storylines. It is fair to argue that Return to Eden successfully delivered all the stock soap pleasures with the Australian setting giving the show a certain ironic distance.

United Kingdom
Return to Eden was screened on ITV and was a huge ratings hit during the summer of 1986 (the three-part mini-series had been screened in September 1984). The 1986 UK transmission also ended with the original cliffhanger, as did the 1989 repeat screening. However, the newer ending was screened many years later when the series was repeated on UK satellite television, primarily the now defunct Granada Plus, which showed it twice. It was shown again in the UK in 2010 by the satellite channel CBS Drama, which showed both the original 1983 mini-series and immediately followed this with the 1986 sequel series which included the revised ending.

India
Return to Eden was remade in India as the 1988 film Khoon Bhari Maang. It starred Rekha and was directed and produced by Rakesh Roshan. The film was a critical as well as box office success.

Iraq
Return to Eden was broadcast by the National Television of Iraq (Channel 1) between 1989 and 1990, it had an Arabic subtitle added by the national TV of Iraq prior to broadcast.

South Korea
In 2014, the South Korean webseries Birth of a Beauty was made, adapting the story of Return to Eden (and Khoon Bhari Maang). The plot of a wife taking revenge on the husband who had tried to kill her was kept intact.

France
The mini-series and the weekly series were screened on TF1 under the title "La Vengeance aux deux visages" (Revenge with two faces) and are regularly rerun on french TV channels, or available on streaming service.

Home media
Both the original mini-series and the follow-up weekly series have been made available on DVD in Australia. Kaleidoscope Film has released the original 1983 mini-series as two "Region 0" discs. Unfortunately, even though the packaging states "Digitally Enhanced", the picture quality of the discs actually leaves a lot to be desired and is reproduced from many generations of copies down from the master. Bonus extras on the discs include interviews with Rebecca Gilling and James Reyne in 2001.

The 1985 series was released as a six-disc set in Australia by MRA Entertainment. Although the picture quality is generally better than the mini-series, there is some tape distortion and interference on some of the episodes during the series. The episodes end on the newer 'zoom-in' Worldvision logo (present after the company was sold to Spelling Entertainment in 1988) except for the final episode which uses the original 'scroll' logo and is the originally aired episode. The DVD boxset does not include the revised ending, leaving the last episode with the unresolved original cliffhanger.

The series has also been released on DVD in the Netherlands in a nine-disc set, which contains the revised ending.

In 2018 MediumRare released the original mini-series in a two disc boxset in Europe. The picture quality in this release is a vast improvement over the previous Kaleidoscope release.

In January 2021, a new 10-disc DVD box set of the original 1983 mini-series and the 1985 sequel series was released in Australia & internationally by Via Vision. This release contains the revised ending. The picture quality of the 1985 TV series is a lot better than on all previous releases of the series however the picture quality of the mini series on this complete series box set is not as good as the stand alone release previously released by MediumRare which is still available.

Remake attempt
In 2012, the Nine Network announced it was planning to remake Return to Eden as a six-hour mini-series, however in March 2013 it was announced that the planned remake had been shelved for the time being due to financial reasons.

Soundtrack
A soundtrack album for the series, featuring music composed by Brian May (not to be confused with the Queen guitarist) was released on vinyl during the show's original airing. It was reissued on compact disc on the Buy Soundtrax label in 2010.

Notes about the CD: Track 1 is actually the feature-length opening theme of Return to Eden the series, used in the first episode. Although Track 19 is labelled "Closing Titles", it is actually the series' regular opening theme music.

Dalton railway station

Dalton is a railway station on the Furness Line, which serves the town of Dalton-in-Furness in Cumbria, England. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

History
Construction of the Furness Railway was authorised in May 1844. It was opened in stages: the line between Dalton and Barrow was in use (on an unofficial basis) by 3 June 1846, as was the line between Salthouse Junction and Piel. A line between Dalton and Kirkby was opened on 12 August 1846, when the earlier sections were officially opened. Dalton station was opened to passengers on 24 August 1846. An eastward extension from Dalton to Ulverston was authorised on 27 July 1846; it did not open until April 1854.

The station once had three platforms; however, only two are in use today. The disused one is adjacent to the Barrow-bound platform, from which it is separated by a wooden fence. The area is now very overgrown and inaccessible to the public.

Facilities
The station is unstaffed, with a card-only ticket machine on the southbound side; passengers have to obtain a promise-to-pay notice to pay by cash on board the train. Digital signs and timetable posters are provided on each platform for train running information purposes. The station buildings are no longer in rail use, though shelters are located on each side. Access to the platforms is either via steps from the over bridge at the south end or via paths from adjacent public roads (the latter are step-free).

Services
It receives a roughly hourly service (Mon-Sat) to Lancaster via Ulverston and to Barrow-in-Furness. Most trains continue to Preston and Manchester Airport southbound and some continue to Carlisle via Millom northbound. On Sundays, there is also an hourly service each way, with a few through trains and from Carlisle since the summer 2018 timetable change

Freight diversionary line
Freight trains for the Cumbrian Coast line (most notably nuclear reprocessing traffic) leave the line about a kilometre west of Dalton and take the direct line northwards to Askam. This route (the original 1846 line from Kirkby-in-Furness and Barrow to Dalton) avoids having to go through Barrow station.

Linda LeBourdais

Linda Lillian LeBourdais (born March 31, 1945) is a former politician in Ontario, Canada. She was a Liberal member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1987 to 1990.

Background
LeBourdais was educated at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, and worked as a public relations and marketing consultant in the fashion and retail sectors. She has served as president of the federal Liberal riding association in Etobicoke Centre, and of the Etobicoke Centre Women's Committee. LeBourdais was also the national director of Stay Alert ... Stay Safe, a national non-profit organization in the field of child safety.

Politics
In 1987 provincial election, she ran as the Liberal party candidate in the riding of Etobicoke West. She won the nomination on May 3 at a contentious nomination meeting. Other contenders including former MPP Leonard Braithwaite claimed that LeBourdais signed up a large block of members for which she failed to provide a list to other nominees. There was also an allegation that some of the members lived outside the riding. In addition, the three member arbitration panel appointed to review the decision resigned due to a conflict of interest. In July a newly appointed arbitration panel upheld the decision saying they were "unable to prove sufficient voting irregularities to overturn the meeting".

In the election held in September 1987, she won the election defeating Progressive Conservative Doug Holyday by 6,090 votes. She served as a backbench supporter of David Peterson's government for the next three years, and was a parliamentary assistant in 1988-89. She served as advocate from Ontario's clothing and apparel industry during her time in office.

Prior to the 1990 provincial election, LeBourdais was challenged for the Liberal nomination by a representative of a local Sikh group, which claimed the Peterson government was insufficiently responsive to minority communities. She won the nomination, but was defeated in the general election by Chris Stockwell of the Progressive Conservative Party.

After politics
She returned to the private sector after her defeat, and became president of Mentor Communications. In 2005, she was appointed as a member of Ontario's Social Benefits Tribunal.

Counterfeit United States currency

Counterfeiting of the currency of the United States is widely attempted. According to the United States Department of Treasury, an estimated $70 million in counterfeit bills are in circulation, or approximately 1 note in counterfeits for every 10,000 in genuine currency, with an upper bound of $200 million counterfeit, or 1 counterfeit per 4,000 genuine notes. However, these numbers are based on annual seizure rates on counterfeiting, and the actual stock of counterfeit money is uncertain because some counterfeit notes successfully circulate for a few transactions.

History
Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to "provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States". This has been considered by federal courts to be an exception to freedom of speech.

Counterfeiting was so prevalent in the early nineteenth century that contemporary accounts like those from author John Neal claimed that as much as half of the US currency in circulation was counterfeit. By the 1830s, American newspapers began listing instructions for identifying counterfeits. Because currency was issued by individual banks, there were approximately 5,400 types of counterfeit bills in the US by the 1860s. Shortly after the Civil War, it was estimated that one third to one half of the nation's currency was counterfeit. Counterfeit money thus posed a major threat to the economy and financial system.

When the Secret Service was founded in 1865, its primary task was to minimize counterfeiting. In 2001, the U.S. Treasury estimated the prevalence of counterfeit U.S. currency in circulation at less than 0.01%.

Operation Bernhard
During World War II, Nazi Germany successfully produced high-quality counterfeits of American dollar and Bank of England pound notes, although few ever were circulated thoroughly.

Superdollar
Superdollars, very high quality counterfeit one hundred-dollar bills, were some of the most widely distributed counterfeit American dollar bills and were still being produced after 2007. The Congressional Research Service has conducted a study and concluded with an accusation that North Korea was responsible for their production, but Pyongyang denied any involvement with Superdollar.

Peru 2001 CB-B2 series $100 bill incident
In 2005, Peruvian Banks ceased to accept $100 bills from the 2001 series CB-B2, due to a detection in a series of counterfeit bills in Peruvian circulation. The differences between them and genuine bills were reportedly minuscule and difficult to detect. According to Peruvian news reports, a printing plate from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing was stolen by a criminal, with possible links to al-Qaeda, and the plate was likely used to produce the counterfeit bills.

Operation Gait $100 bills
Bills forged by Anatasios Arnaouti in the UK (2005).

"Federal Reserve Bonds"
In recent years, metal boxes of fraudulent Federal Reserve Notes in astronomically high denominations (often in $100 million, $500 million, or $1 billion) and often with coupons attached have turned up in various Eastern countries such as the Philippines or Malaysia. In many cases, the notes are claimed to be part of a lost trove of secretly issued Federal Reserve Notes, and are special or not known to the public due to secrecy. Also, the bonds are sometimes treated to make them look old by getting them wet and moldy. However, the Federal Reserve has never issued notes in such denominations, and has issued warnings against them on its website. Additionally, there are several errors in the bonds as well as the metal boxes, many of them anachronistic. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York writes that The Federal Reserve is aware of several scams involving high denomination Federal Reserve notes and bonds, often in denominations of 100 million or 500 million dollars, dating back to the 1930s, usually 1934. In each of these schemes, fraudulent instruments are claimed to be part of a long-lost supply of recently discovered Federal Reserve notes or bonds. Fraudsters often falsely claim that the purported Federal Reserve notes or bonds that they hold are somehow very special and are not known to the public because they are so secret. Fraudsters have attempted to sell these worthless instruments, or to redeem or exchange them at banks and other financial institutions, or to secure loans or obtain lines of credit using the fictitious instruments as collateral.

There have been several instances where people have used the fraudulent notes as legitimate currency, often resulting in arrest. In March 2006, agents from ICE and the Secret Service seized 250 notes, each bearing a denomination of $1,000,000,000 (one billion dollars) from a West Hollywood apartment. The suspect had previously been arrested on federal charges for attempting to smuggle more than $37,000 in currency into the U.S. following a trip to South Korea in 2002. Much of the artwork on the notes was duplicated from the real $1000 bill, including the portrait of Grover Cleveland. Another incident involving similar notes bearing a denomination each of $500,000,000, occurred in Chiasso, Switzerland, in June 2009.

Materials and prevention
In the United States, counterfeiters in small operations develop the fake currency using tools which often include printers, an iron, and green colored water. Upon collecting bills, the Federal Reserve checks all notes, destroying any whose appearance fails to fit that of a federal bill.

Babcock & Wilcox

Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. is an American energy technology and service provider that is active and has operations in many international markets with its headquarters in Akron, Ohio. Historically, the company is best known for their steam boilers.

Background
The company was founded in 1867 in Providence, Rhode Island, by partners Stephen Wilcox and George Babcock to manufacture and market Wilcox's patented water-tube boiler. B&W's list of innovations and firsts include the world's first installed utility boiler (1881); manufacture of boilers to power New York City's first subway (1902); first pulverized coal power plant (1918); design and manufacture of components for USS Nautilus (SSN-571), the world's first nuclear-powered submarine (1953–55); the first supercritical pressure coal-fired boiler (1957); design and supply of reactors for the first U.S. built nuclear-powered surface ship, NS Savannah (1961).

History
The company was founded in 1867 by Stephen Wilcox, Jr. and his partner George Herman Babcock with the intention of building safer steam boilers. Stephen Wilcox first avowed that “there must be a better way” to safely generate power, and he and George Babcock responded with the design for the first inherently safe water-tube boiler. B&W was the main builder of naval boilers for American forces during World War II, and were a supplier to the Manhattan Project. After the war they entered the nuclear reactor business, and became a major supplier for commercial nuclear power plants. They also built naval nuclear reactors, including for the first commercial nuclear ship. In 2000 the company filed for bankruptcy due to lawsuits from employees over asbestos exposure; they emerged from bankruptcy in 2006.

 * In 1867, Stephen Wilcox, Jr. and his partner George Herman Babcock, of Providence, Rhode Island,   patented their so-called safety boiler (“Improvements in Steam Generators,” U.S. Patent No. 65,042). Its water was dispersed in many small tubes that resisted exploding when heated, a significant advance over conventional shell boilers, whose water was concentrated in a single container. When overheated, seams of the shell could burst, causing an explosion, often with fatal consequences. The water tube boiler had the added advantages that it could generate steam under higher pressure and more efficiently than existing designs.

 * In 1878, Thomas Edison purchased B&W boiler No. 92 for his Menlo Park laboratory.
 * In 1891, Babcock & Wilcox Ltd is established as a separate United Kingdom company, to be responsible for all sales outside the US and Cuba.
 * In 1895, Supply of steam furnaces of Kahrizak sugar factory, Tehran, Iran
 * In 1898, Robert Jurenka and Alois Seidl signed an agreement with the British division of Babcock & Wilcox Ltd to make the Berlin, Germany Babcock sales office into a subsidiary of the British company; a factory in Oberhausen in the Ruhr district made the boiler designed by the American engineers.
 * In 1902, the New York City's first subway is powered by B&W boilers.
 * During 1907 and 1909 Theodore Roosevelt's Great White Fleet were powered by B&W Boilers.
 * In 1923, both Babcock & Wilcox Ltd and The Babcock & Wilcox Company buy into The Goldie & McCulloch Company Ltd of Cambridge, Ontario, to form Babcock-Wilcox & Goldie-McCulloch Ltd in Canada.
 * In 1929, B&W installs the world's first commercial size recovery boiler using the magnesium bisulfite process in Quebec, Canada.
 * Between 1941 and 1945 B&W designed and delivered 4,100 marine boilers for combat and merchant ships, including 95 percent of the US fleet in Tokyo Bay at Japanese surrender.
 * In 1942, the company developed the cyclone furnace.
 * Between 1943 and 1945, B&W provided components, materials and process development for Manhattan Project.
 * In 1948, Babcock and Wilcox was at the center of a labor dispute with the United Stone and Allied Products Workers of America. The National Labor Relations Board held that during captive audience meetings, the union was entitled to equal time. This was later overturned in Livingston Shirt Corp.
 * Between 1949 and 1952, B&W provided the 8 boilers for the SS United States, the fastest ocean liner ever constructed.
 * Between 1953 and 1955, B&W designed and fabricated components for USS Nautilus (SSN-571), world's first nuclear-powered submarine.
 * In 1961, B&W designed and supplied reactors for world's first commercial nuclear ship NS Savannah.
 * In 1962, B&W designed and furnished reactor systems for B&W's first commercial reactor, Indian Point, NY, using HEU 233.
 * In 1967, the name of Babcock-Wilcox & Goldie-McCulloch Ltd is changed to Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd.
 * In 1975, B&W designed and built components for liquid metal fast breeder reactors.
 * In 1975, the long-term business agreements with the British Babcock & Wilcox Ltd were ended. Subsequently, the British company was renamed Babcock International Group plc.
 * In 1978, B&W designed and built the nuclear reactor that was involved in the Three Mile Island accident.
 * In 1999, B&W was awarded the contract to develop fuel cells and steam reforming for US Navy.
 * On February 22, 2000, B&W filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in part as a result of thousands of claims for personal injury due to prolonged exposure to asbestos and asbestos fibers. Claims included asbestosis, lung cancer, pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma. As a condition of emerging from bankruptcy, B&W created a trust fund to compensate victims for amounts far less than settlements paid in individual personal injury lawsuits.
 * After B&W emerged from bankruptcy in 2006, B&W and BWX Technologies, both subsidiaries of the McDermott International, Inc., merged on 26 November 2007 to form The Babcock & Wilcox Companies, headed by President John Fees. The old company logo was changed.
 * On June 10, 2009, B&W unveiled B&W Modular Nuclear Energy, LLC (B&W MNE). On the same day, B&W MNE announced its plans to design and develop the B&W mPower reactor, a modular, scalable nuclear reactor. The B&W mPower reactor design is a 125 megawatt, passively safe Advanced Light Water Reactor (ALWR) (a Generation III reactor) with a below-ground containment structure. The reactor is set to be manufactured in a factory, shipped by rail, then buried underground.
 * On May 12, 2010, B&W announced that it and its subsidiaries would be spun off from its parent company, McDermott International, Inc. The headquarters moved from Lynchburg, Virginia to Charlotte. and the company became The Babcock & Wilcox Company.
 * On August 2, 2010, B&W began trading on the New York Stock Exchange as BWC.

Rugae

In anatomy, rugae (: ruga) are a series of ridges produced by folding of the wall of an organ. Most commonly rugae refers to the gastric rugae of the internal surface of the stomach.

Function
A purpose of the gastric rugae is to allow for expansion of the stomach after the consumption of foods and liquids. This expansion increases the volume of the stomach to hold larger amounts of food. The folds also result in greater surface area, allowing the stomach to absorb nutrients more quickly.

Location
Rugae can appear in the following locations in humans:
 * Wrinkles of the labia and scrotum
 * Hard palate immediately behind the upper anterior teeth
 * Inside the urinary bladder
 * Vagina
 * Gallbladder
 * Inside the stomach
 * Inside the rectum

Difference between rugae and plicae
With few exceptions (e.g. the scrotum), rugae are only evident when an organ or tissue is deflated or relaxed. For example, rugae are evident within the stomach when it is deflated. However, when the stomach distends, the rugae unfold to allow for the increase in volume. On the other hand, plicae remain folded regardless of distension as is evident within the plicae of the small intestine walls.

I find this sentence very confusing:

On 17 December 2001 she was installed as its Chancellor, when the Victoria University of Manchester merged with UMIST (University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology) on 1 October 2004 to create the new University of Manchester.

...so in 2001 something happened that actually didn't happen until 2004? Someone please clarify or remove this.Palefire 22:42, 30 October 2005 (UTC).

The above error has been corrected now.

Dodgy record info
, but in 1983 her duet with Noddy Holder, a cover version of the Shakin' Stevens hit "You Drive Me Crazy", reached number 37 in the UK pop charts.

This is denied by Noddy Holder, who was specifically reviewing his entry. As this record does not appear in the UK charts, there appears to be corroboration for this denial. Spenny 20:44, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Christie's in Ballyclare ?
I've added a fact tag to the statement from 1970-2, she was a lecturer in Christie's Fine Art department in Ballyclare

According to Google, Christie's Ireland representative in the 1980s and 1990s, Danny Kinahan, was and is based at Castle Upton near Ballyclare. But (at least as of 2009), as far as I know Christie's Education is focused entirely in London and New York.

So the statement could use some clarification to verify exactly what sort of lectures Anna Ford would have been giving (especially as from the bio so far she doesn't appear to have had any background in fine art, at least not at degree level).

The material was added as part of this diff in 2007. Jheald (talk) 11:23, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Feoktistov (crater)

Feoktistov is a small lunar impact crater on the far side of the Moon. It lies in the northern hemisphere, to the northwest of the Mare Moscoviense. This crater has a small outward extension along the northern side, giving it the appearance of two overlapping craters that have merged. There are slight indentations of the rim along the east and northwest sides. The rim is otherwise rounded and not significantly worn. Apart from an irregular strip in the northeast, the floor is relatively featureless.

The crater was named in honor of cosmonaut Konstantin Feoktistov who was the first non-military person in space, flying on Voskhod 1 in 1964.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Feoktistov.

Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince

The Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince (Cumpagnia d'i Carrabiniei d'u Prìncipu; "Prince's Company of Carabiniers") is the Infantry branch of the Force Publique, and one of the limited number of militaries that recruits foreigners. Although Monaco's defence is the responsibility of France, Monaco maintains a small force for the protection of the Sovereign and the Prince's Palace. Formed by Prince Honoré IV in 1817, the unit was re-organized in 1909.

The company numbers 124 officers and men. Whilst the NCOs and soldiers are local, the officers have served in the French Army or the Republican Guard. Along with the Corps des Sapeurs-Pompiers, the Carabiniers form Monaco's total public forces.

History

An antecedent of the Carabiniers was the company known in the 19th century as the "Papalins", former soldiers of the Papal States, who, upon the destitution of the Papacy's temporal authority at the time of the Italian Unification, were given the role of protecting the Sovereign and the Princely Family. A road in Fontvieille is named in honour of them.

In Monaco, the Milice Nationale was created in 1865. In 1870, the Milice Nationale was renamed the Gardes du Prince, although, the "Gardes" were still tasked with fire-fighting, and national security. On 5 May 1881 the Gardes du Prince were renamed the Compagnie de Sapeurs-Pompiers to better adjust to their fire-fighting duties. On 17 June 1909 the fire-fighting unit was re-organised into a separate operating company called the Compagnie de Sapeurs-Pompiers, while the protection unit was renamed the Corps des Carabiniers du Prince. This lasted over 60 years, until the companies were finally renamed the Corps des Sapeurs-Pompiers, and the Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince, and were placed under the Force Publique's direct control.

The Carabiniers are currently commanded by Martial Pied, who was sworn in on 2 January 2022. Previous commanders include, Gilles Convertini (2017-2022), Philippe Rebaudengo (2007-2017), Jacques Morandon (2005-2007), Luc Fringant (1993-2005), and Maurice Allent (1978-1993).

Organisation and expenditures
Composed of 119 personnel of Francophone nationality (3 officers, 19 non-commissioned officers, and 97 men of rank), the Carabiniers are split into the following divisions:

 * Band;
 * Diving Team;
 * Motorcycle Platoon;
 * Bodyguard Unit;
 * Palace Guard;
 * Honour Guard;
 * Civil Defence.

The 2012-2013 starting salary for a Carabinier is €2,200 ($2,908) a month or €26,400 ($34,893) a year. While the Company's 2012-2013 budget is €6.7 million ($8.8 million) per year.

Duties and missions
Since its inception, the Carabiniers were tasked with guarding the Prince's Palace, ensuring the security of the Sovereign and the Princely Family, to provide services to honour, and to assist law enforcement in times of need. The Palace is guarded at all times, twenty-four hours a day, with two non-commissioned officers of varying rank, one Maréchal des logis, and eight Carabiniers. The Changing of the Guard, is performed daily at 11.55 am, and announced by a musical element (two drums, two trumpets).

The Carabiniers provides services of honour. To "requisition", the Company escorts judiciary, participates in official ceremonies, civil and religious, and ceremonial parades and processions.

The Carabiniers also perform various missions of public service. With the creation of a Military Aid Unit, the Carabiniers implement ambulances for the Monegasque Red Cross. The Company participate as such, the security of major sporting events or arts that take place in the Principality, requiring emergency supplies and evacuation. The Company participate as appropriate in the implementation of emergency plan, ORMOS Red Plan (Monaco relief organisation), which also includes the Corps des Sapeurs-Pompiers, and the Direction de la Sûreté Publique.

The Diving Team is regularly asked to integrate with security devices, and participate in various rescue missions during the sailing competitions in Monegasque waters. They also participate in scientific observations, underwater environment for the study of pollution in the Mediterranean.

A Motorcycle Platoon is responsible for the Prince on his daily schedule, and escorting sovereign heads of state visiting Monaco.

Band
The Carabiniers maintain a musical band consisting of 26 "rifle-musicians" under the command of a Maréchal des Logis Chef. In 1978, the title of "Fanfare de la Companies des Carabiniers" was adopted. An integral part of the unit, the band is not trained solely to perform music. Instead, Carabiniers receive the same training as their comrades. The band participates in the same occasions, and duties as the Company. The diversity of the repertoire of the band allows it to perform at official ceremonies, sporting events, and public concerts. Since 1989, the band has performed outside of Monaco.

Equipment
The equipment and vehicles of the Carabiniers have been upgraded in recent years. Mobility has been improved by the adoption of modern vehicles, adapted to different missions, such as two MOWAG Piranha Vs, six Peugeot P4s, and seven BMW R1200RT-Ps.

Old rifles and revolvers have been replaced by firearms such as the M16A2, and Glock 17.

Uniforms
Parade dress in the winter is a modernised version of that worn in the early 1900s. It comprises a dark blue tunic, and light blue trousers with red facings. A medium-blue cloth helmet is worn, with plumes for gala occasions. White trefoil epaulettes, spats and aiguillettes date from the 19th century.

In the summer a simple white shirt sleeve order is worn with a white helmet. For ordinary duties a modern police style uniform is worn with a peaked cap replacing the helmet.

Recruitment
Carabiniers are recruited from among candidates who meet the following conditions:

 * Male;
 * Between 19 and 27 years old;
 * Single (marriage licence granted after the confirmation period);
 * Francophone;
 * Pass a vision examination;
 * Within a minimum height of 1.8 m to a maximum height of 2 m;
 * Body mass index less than or equal to twenty-five;
 * Pass a physical fitness test and examination;
 * Graduated with a high school or equivalent degree;
 * Possess a driving licence;
 * Capable of swimming.

Applicants may be esteemed if they know skills in one or more specialties relevant to the carabiniers. For instance: music (primarily band instruments), diving, first aid, culinary, computer, mechanics training, or combat experience.

Career development
At the time of his enlistment, a Carabinier signs his first contract for five years which is validated after a period of instruction, and confirmation period in which ability and motivation are verified. This confirmation is usually after one year's service, but may be extended for one or even two years further probation. A Carabinier can pursue his career and commitments by successive reenlistments after each five years of service until reaching age 55, subjecting to meet all the conditions of fitness. Promotion on merit allows a number of Carabiniers to reach the various grades of non-commissioned officers. However, the low rate of vacancies occurring amongst non-commissioned officers means that 50% of more junior ranks finish their military careers as a Carabinier first or second class.

Laurel Rose Willson

Laurel Rose Willson (August 18, 1941 – April 8, 2002) was an American con artist and author. She authored books alleging Satanic ritual abuse (SRA), and later assumed the guise of a Holocaust survivor. The general theme of her writing, from adolescence, was horror fiction, often violent and sexual, in which she was the victim.

Early life
Willson was born in Tacoma, Washington, in 1941 to Marrian E. Disbrow. She was eventually adopted as an infant by Frank Cole Willson and his wife, schoolteacher Rose Gray Willson. She had one sister, five years older, named Willow Nell. A gifted musician from a young age, Willson learned to play the piano, clarinet, and flute. After college, Willson worked as a public-school music teacher. She later resided in Bakersfield, California for a number of years, becoming known within evangelical Christian churches there as a vocalist and pianist.

She made allegations that she was psychologically and physically tortured from the ages of four until her early twenties. In a book, she claimed that at the age of six her adoptive mother allowed a laborer to rape her in lieu of paying for services, and by the age of eight she was supposedly forced into pornography and bestiality.

Willson's older sister, in a signed affidavit, noted:"My parents were devout Christians. They were both active members of the Bible Presbyterian Church in Tacoma. Both of them were fully committed to the Lord Jesus Christ. My sister and I were raised in a very sheltered, strict Christian home. There was no place in our home for anything remotely occult or pornographic. My mother continues as a dedicated Christian..."

Satanic ritual abuse allegations
Under the name "Lauren Stratford", Willson wrote three books, the most infamous of which was Satan's Underground, purporting to tell a true story of her upbringing as a baby breeder (for sacrifices) in a satanic cult. Willson had also claimed to have firsthand knowledge of high-profile cases of alleged Satanic ritual abuse (including the child abuse cases in Kern County, where she resided), but her claims were dismissed by investigators as unreliable and fabricated. Willson, along with Michelle Smith (co-author of equally fictional Michelle Remembers), was featured on an episode of Oprah Winfrey's eponymous show in 1989, where Winfrey touted both stories as being unimpeachable fact.

An investigation by Bob and Gretchen Passantino and Jon Trott in the Christian magazine Cornerstone discovered Stratford's real name and family background, and that her stories of abuse were false. In interviews with Willson's family and former associates, it was revealed that Willson had a long history of mental illness and making false allegations of abuse. She repeatedly threatened suicide and practiced self-mutilation and was reportedly hospitalized over forty times. She attracted the attention and sympathy of evangelical author Johanna Michaelsen, one of the most influential promoters of the Satanic moral panic of the period. While living with Michaelsen, Willson falsely claimed to have given birth to three children as a result of rape; two were allegedly killed in snuff films, and the third was supposedly sacrificed in her presence at a Satanic ritual.

Cornerstone found no evidence that she had ever been pregnant or adopted a child, and when initially posed questions to her publisher, were told that they had documentation to prove the claims. The authors eventually determined that the publisher had done nothing to verify the allegations. In February of 1990, Harvest House Publishing "ceased publication" of Willson's books.

As of 2022, Satan's Underground (with the author listed as Lauren Stratford) is still available from Pelican Publishing Company, which lists an incorrect and fictional description, and fails to note her death.

After her books were withdrawn from sale, Willson legally changed her name to Lauren Stratford.

She was also briefly involved in the McMartin preschool trial, claiming to have witnessed and stopped the abuses. She also claimed to have been involved in an ongoing lesbian relationship with Virginia McMartin.

False identity as a Holocaust survivor
In 1999, Willson constructed another false identity as Laura Grabowski, using the surname of her Polish-Catholic maternal grandparents. Purporting to be a Jewish survivor of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Willson as Grabowski collected thousands of dollars in donations intended for Holocaust survivors. Willson assumed the identity of an orphan who was sent to an orphanage in Kraków after Auschwitz and was adopted in America in the mid-1950s. She claimed to be a victim of the infamous Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, alleging experiments had rendered her infertile and the chemical injections blinded her eyes irrevocably. When pressed for specifics regarding her time at the camps, she was unable to provide dates, times or names.

Willson made a claim with the Swiss Fund for victim compensation for Holocaust survivors, using her assumed identity but with the Social Security Number of her true identity, Willson. Willson befriended Binjamin Wilkomirski, claiming to remember him from the camps, even going so far as to go on lecture engagements together to recount their story. Wilkomirski (real name Bruno Grosjean) later was revealed to be neither Jewish nor a Holocaust survivor, aiding in the exposure of Willson as a fraud.

Cornerstone once again published an exposé of Laurel's real identity.

Andrew Weir, 1st Baron Inverforth

Andrew Weir, 1st Baron Inverforth, PC (24 April 1865 – 17 September 1955) created and headed the firm of Andrew Weir and Co. shipowners of Glasgow. In the First World War he served as a minister in the coalition government: he was Surveyor General of Supplies from 1917 to 1919, and Minister of Munitions from 1919 to 1921.

Life
Andrew Weir was born in Kirkcaldy, Fife the eldest son of William Weir and his wife Janet. Both William Weir and his father were cork merchants. Weir married Anne Dowie (d. 1941) in 1889, daughter of Thomas Kay Dowie. They had five daughters and one son, all born 1891-1902.

After attending the high school at Kirkcaldy, Andrew went to work for the Commercial Bank of Scotland. He soon moved to Glasgow. Shortly after his twentieth birthday, he bought a sailing ship, the barque Willowbank, which he employed in the coasting trade. The next year Weir began building sailing ships of modern design and within a few years had built up a fleet of 52. In 1896 Weir moved to London and started converting his fleet from sail to steam. In 1905 he established the Bank Line, which became the leading British shipping line.

During the First World War in March 1917 Weir was asked to report on the commercial organization of the supply branches of the army. Weir recommended the appointment of a surveyor-general of supply, with a seat on the army council, to take over the task of supplying the army with all its stores and equipment other than munitions. His recommendations were accepted and he was given the job.

In January 1919, after the war had ended, he was appointed Minister of Munitions to close down the supply operation and dispose of unwanted materiel. He remained in office until March 1921. For his services Weir was raised to the peerage as Baron Inverforth, of Southgate in the County of Middlesex on 5 February 1919, and received the American Distinguished Service Medal.

After the war Lord Inverforth invested in diesel-powered ships. He also broadened his business interests, becoming involved in the Marconi group of companies. He was also chairman of the Anglo-Burma Rice Company and of the Wilmer Grain Company, and was also on the board of Lloyds Bank.

Inverforth continued to go to the office four days a week, into his ninety-first year. He died at his home, Inverforth House in Hampstead, on 17 September 1955..

Fersman (crater)

Fersman is a large lunar impact crater on the Moon's far side. It lies to the east of the crater Poynting, and west-northwest of Weyl. To the south is the huge walled plain Hertzsprung.

This is a worn crater with a low, outer rim. The southeast rim and the eastern interior floor are marked by ejecta deposits that trend from southeast to northwest. There is also a nearly linear series of small craters that begin to the southeast of the crater, and continue about 100 km to the northwest of the crater. There is a break in this chain across the crater's interior floor, then it continues again near the northern rim.

Several other small craters lie across the interior floor, including a grouping to the south of the midpoint. The rim has an outward bulge along the southeast side and irregular edges to the north and south. A small crater lies along the western inner wall.

Driskill Mountain

Driskill Mountain (also referred to as Mount Driskill) is the highest natural summit in Louisiana, with an elevation of 535 ft above sea level. It lies about 5.3 mi southeast of Bryceland, in Bienville Parish. A large pile of rocks marks the high point. It is the third lowest highest point of any U.S. state after Britton Hill in Florida and Ebright Azimuth in Delaware.

Description
Driskill Mountain is a landform created by the erosion of unlithified Paleogene sediment. Its summit consists of nonmarine quartz sands of the Cockfield Formation. These sands overlie shallow marine and coastal clays, silts, and sands of the Cook Mountain Formation, which form the bulk of Driskill Mountain.

Mountaintop flora include wild azalea and dogwood.

History
The mountain was named for James Christopher Driskill, who was born in Henry County, Georgia, on June 27, 1817. In 1840, he married the former Eugenia Irwin Walker. In October 1859, Driskill sold his land in Troup County, Georgia, and moved his family, which by then consisted of his wife, eight boys, and one girl, to Louisiana. By December 1859, Driskill had purchased in Louisiana 324 acre, which included Driskill Mountain. During the American Civil War, Driskill served in the Home Guard. His eldest son, William B. Driskill, was killed in action at the Battle of the Wilderness in Virginia on May 5, 1864. Another one of his sons, James B. Driskill, disappeared after he had left Louisiana to fight in the Civil War. Except for one son and daughter, Driskill's family remained in Bienville Parish, and his descendants still live in the area. Among his most notable descendants is Col. Joe G. Driskill - recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross by President Jimmy Carter in 1970. Driskill also played number 45 for the 1960-1961 St. Louis Cardinals.Dakota Driskill, granddaughter of Col. Joe G. Driskill, is a writer and solo performance artist sharing stories of girlhood, belonging, loss and friendship, and the agrarian way of life she learned on the mountain through her collection of poetry titled, “The Tall Tales of Driskill Mountain.”

Jimmie Davis and his band played You Are My Sunshine at the summit. Davis became governor of Louisiana just five years after the performance and the song became the state song of Louisiana.

Googolplexian

 * A Wikipedia neologism. Georgia guy 00:44, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Its claim, copied from the web site, that this is the "largest number with a name" is, further, false; as transfinite number, which names several larger numbers, explains. There is no evidence that this word is in use by anything other than the referenced web sites, a bunch of submit-your-own-article web sites such as here and Urban Dictionary, and a bunch of "Oh look at what daftness the web has come up with this week!" sites.  It has zero Google Groups hits as a mathematical term.  Even if it were a mathematical term, it is so contrived that it would belong in list of numbers rather than merit its own article. Delete. Uncle G 01:38, 2005 Apr 17 (UTC)
 * Delete. What Uncle G said. I was going to list this myself, but thought I would wait for a response on the talk page. This will do fine though. - Taxman 03:08, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete Being a neologism is not fatal. But having no usage beyond a few enthusiasts is. And yeah, there is no "biggest number with a name". Still, if it were a popular folk believe that "Googleplexian is the largest number with a name" then it would rate an entry on that basis. Alas, that's not the case! Isaac R 20:49, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * No, there probably is not largest number with a name, since you can keep combining the methodolgies to create larger ones, but Graham's number is (from the article) often described as the largest number that has ever been seriously used in a mathematical proof. - Taxman 19:43, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not a real word. Not in dictionaries. Not in real use. Name invented for the purpose of record-breaking. But insufficiently researched, as this is the same thing as "googolduplex," which is another phony word. And smaller than a googoltriplex, which is of course one followed by a googolduplex of zeroes. 'Nobody uses these. Scientists and physicists use exponential notation and metrix prefixes, and never need anything larger than about 1070 or so. Mathematicians use various mathematical notations. These names are nerd games. They don't catch on because they serve no real purpose other than the vanity of those who create them. And this is not just floccinaucinihilipilification on my part. Dpbsmith (talk) 23:29, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * It's not even very large compared to other ways of defining ridiculously large numbers such as Steinhaus-Moser notation. So I wouldn't say nobody uses these, these notations and concepts are studied by a few, but certainly not by the name of this article. - Taxman 19:32, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

Koren Robinson

Koren Lynard Robinson (born March 19, 1980) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver for eight seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the NC State Wolfpack. He was selected by the Seattle Seahawks ninth overall in the 2001 NFL draft, and also played for the NFL's Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers between stints with the Seahawks. He was selected to the Pro Bowl with the Vikings in 2005.

First stint with Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks drafted Robinson with the 9th overall pick in the 2001 NFL draft, which was acquired along with a first round pick that was used to select Shaun Alexander in a trade that sent Joey Galloway to the Dallas Cowboys.

Minnesota Vikings
Robinson was signed by the Minnesota Vikings. He was given a limited role in his time with the Vikings and was named the team's kick returner. Despite it being the first time in his career he had returned kicks, Robinson made the Pro Bowl in 2005.

Robinson's time with the Vikings was marred by an incident that took place in, and between, St. Peter and Mankato, Minnesota. In August 2006, Robinson was charged with "A felony charge of fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle, and misdemeanor charges of driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, careless driving and driving after suspension..." Police reported speeds in excess of 120 MPH during the pursuit and reported Robinson's blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) as 0.11 after his arrest. The legal BAC in Minnesota at the time was 0.08. Robinson was released by the Vikings 10 days later.

Green Bay Packers
In September 2006, Robinson was signed by the Green Bay Packers, much by the urging of then-quarterback Brett Favre and GM Ted Thompson (former Seahawks executive who had drafted Robinson in 2001 in Seattle). Robinson was suspended without pay on October 16, 2006, for a minimum of one year for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. Robinson worked out with Favre's trainer to stay in football shape. Robinson was reinstated by Commissioner Goodell in October 2007, and he completed the 2007 season with 21 catches for 241 yards and one touchdown. His touchdown came against the Detroit Lions on December 30, 2007.

However, the Packers picked two younger receivers in the 2008 NFL draft, creating a logjam at the position. Robinson was deemed expendable, and the Packers released him on May 9, 2008. Packers General Manager Ted Thompson said, "I think a lot of Koren. I'm very proud to be able to see him turn things around. He's a true professional. He helped us in the locker room. He helped the young guys learn to be pros."

Second stint with Seahawks
On September 16, 2008, the Seahawks signed Robinson, due to the large number of injuries at the receiver position. In his second stint with the Seahawks, Robinson broke the franchise record with the longest catch in team history. Backup quarterback Seneca Wallace threw a pass to Robinson that went for 90 yards and a touchdown on the Seahawks' first play from scrimmage against the Philadelphia Eagles at Qwest Field in Seattle on November 2, 2008, which was also the longest pass in team history. On January 26, 2009, it was reported by Pro Football Weekly that Robinson was not expected to be back with the Seahawks the next season due to a chronic knee injury.

Florida Tuskers
Robinson was signed by the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League on September 3, 2009.

New York Sentinels
Robinson was traded to the Sentinels for future considerations.

Johannes Werner

Johann(es) Werner (Ioannes Vernerus; February 14, 1468 – May 1522) was a German mathematician. He was born in Nuremberg, Germany, where he became a parish priest. His primary work was in astronomy, mathematics, and geography, although he was also considered a skilled instrument maker.

Mathematics
His mathematical works were in the areas of spherical trigonometry, as well as conic sections. He published an original work on conic sections in 1522 and is one of several mathematicians sometimes credited with the invention of prosthaphaeresis, which simplifies tedious computations by the use of trigonometric formulas, sometimes called Werner's formulas.

Astronomy
In 1500 he observed a comet, and kept observations of its movements from June 1 until the 24th.

This work further developed the suggestion of Regiomontanus that the occurrences of eclipses and cometary orbits could be used to find longitude, giving a practical approach for this method by means of the cross-staff. (The approach did not actually solve the problem as the instrument was not sufficiently accurate.)

His trepidations method to describe precession of the equinoxes De motu octauæ Sphær was posthumously challenged in 1524 by Nicolaus Copernicus in The Letter against Werner.

Geography
He is most noted for his work, In Hoc Opere Haec Continentur Nova Translatio Primi Libri Geographicae Cl Ptolomaei, published in Nuremberg in 1514, a translation of Claudius Ptolemy's Geography. In it, he refined and promoted the Werner map projection, a cordiform (heart-shape) projection map that had been developed by Johannes Stabius (Stab) of Vienna around 1500. This projection would be used for world maps and some continental maps through the 16th century and into the 17th century. It was used by Mercator, Oronce Fine, and Ortelius in the late 16th century for maps of Asia and Africa. By the 18th century, it was replaced by the Bonne projection for continental maps. The Werner projection is only used today for instructional purposes and as a novelty.

In this work, Werner also proposed an astronomical method to determine longitude, by measuring the position of the moon relative to the background stars. The idea was later discussed in detail by Petrus Apianus in his Cosmographicus liber (Landshut 1524) and became known as the lunar distance method.

Meteorology
Many consider Werner as a pioneer of modern meteorology and weather forecasting. Between 1513 and 1520, Johann Werner made the first regular observations of the weather conditions in Germany.

Honours
The crater Werner on the Moon is named after him.

Some of the trigonometric identities used in prosthaphaeresis, an early method for rapid computation of products, were named Werner formulas in honor of Werner's role in development of the algorithm.

Fesenkov (lunar crater)

Fesenkov is a lunar impact crater on the far side of the Moon. It is located to the east-southeast of the prominent crater Tsiolkovskiy, and less than a crater diameter to the north of Stark.

This is an eroded feature with an outer rim that has been irregular and somewhat rugged due to a history of lesser bombardments in the vicinity. The interior floor is somewhat uneven, particularly in the eastern half, and there is a central rise at the midpoint. From the outer northeastern rim is a chain of tiny secondary impacts leading to the east, radial to the Tsiolkovsky impact.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Fesenkov.
