Jens-Peter Bonde

Jens-Peter Rossen Bonde (27 March 1948 – 4 April 2021) was a Danish politician who served as Member of the European Parliament (MEP) with the June Movement. He resigned as an MEP in May 2008. Bonde was elected to the European Parliament in the first election in 1979 with the People's Movement against the EU. He was re-elected 6 times consecutively. In 1992 he co-founded the June Movement which he chaired until his retirement in May 2008.

Jens-Peter Bonde emerged from the Danish Left of the 1970s, however he was on the centre-left for much of his life. In November 2005 he was the inspiration behind the setting up of a new Party at a European level, EUDemocrats. He was its president from 2005 to 2009.

Bonde wrote over 60 books on the EU, including editions of EU treaties with additional commentary.

Family
Jens-Peter Bonde is the son of Nina Bonde and Nis Bonde. He was married to Lisbeth Kirk, editor-in-chief of the independent online newspaper EUobserver. Jens-Peter has four sons and two grandchildren.

Retirement
On 25 March 2008, Bonde announced his retirement from the European Parliament. Bonde intended to spend more time encouraging the growth of parties similar to the June Movement in the rest of Europe and building the EUDemocrats. He was also working for referendums on the Treaty of Lisbon. Bonde resigned his seat on 9 May 2008 and was replaced by Hanne Dahl, who was second on the June Movement's list of candidates in the 2004 election. In January 2009 Bonde resigned as President of the EUDemocrats and was succeeded by Sören Wibe.

Acid dye

An acid dye is a dye that is typically applied to a textile at low pH. They are mainly used to dye wool, not cotton fabrics. Some acid dyes are used as food colorants, and some can also be used to stain organelles in the medical field.

Acid dyes are anionic, soluble in water and are essentially applied from acidic bath. These dyes possess acidic groups, such as SO3H and COOH and are applied on wool, silk and nylon when ionic bond is established between protonated –NH2 group of fibre and acid group of dye. Overall wash fastness is poor although lightfastness is quite good. As dye and fibre contain opposite electrical nature, strike rate and uptake of acid dye on these fibres is faster; electrolyte at higher concentration is added to retard dye uptake and to form levelled shades. Acid generates cation on fibre and temperature helps to substitute negative part of acid with anionic dye molecules.

Description
Acid dyes are generally divided into three classes according to their fastness requirements, migration ability, and dyeing pH.

Acid dyes affix to fibers by hydrogen bonding, Van der Waals forces and ionic bonding. While some acid dyes work in water, many choose to activate dyes in acid dye-baths instead. According to the Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, an acid is a molecule or ion capable of donating a proton, and this is determined by the acid dissociation constant. Compared to most acids, water has a much higher pKa value, meaning that it dissociates to give H+ with more difficulty. In this context, if an acid is used instead of water, then the hydrogen ion (H+) is more easily able to dissociate in order to react with the aniline dye anion, allowing the dye to dissolve.

Animal protein fibers and the synthetic fiber nylon contain many cationic sites that bind anionic dye. The strength (fastness) of this bond reflects the strength of this ionic interaction.

Fibers
In the laboratory, home, or art studio, the acid used in the dye-bath is often vinegar (acetic acid) or citric acid. The uptake rate of the dye is controlled with the use of sodium chloride. In textiles, acid dyes are effective on protein fibers, i.e. animal hair fibers like wool, alpaca, and mohair. They are also effective on silk. They are effective in dyeing the synthetic fiber nylon, but of minimum interest in dyeing any other synthetic fibers.

Histology
In staining during microscopic examination for diagnosis or research, acid dyes are used to color basic tissue proteins. In contrast, basic dyes are used to stain cell nuclei and some other acidic components of tissues. Regarding cellular structures, acid dyes will stain acidophilic structures that have a net positive charge due to the fact that they have a negatively charged chromophore. Acidophilic structures include the cytoplasm, collagen and mitochondria. The two have an affinity for each other due to the conflicting charges. Examples of acid dyes used in medicine include:

 * Lee's stain (stains reddish-pink).
 * Phosphotungstic Acid Hematoxylin (PTAH) stain (stains blue).
 * Eosin stain (stains pinkish-orange).

Food Industry
Acid dyes can also be used as food colouring, helping to increase the attractiveness of certain foods, and thus becoming more appealing to customers. Some examples include erythrosine, tartrazine, sunset yellow and allura red, to name a few, many of which are azo dyes. These dyes can be used in frosting, cookies, bread, condiments or drinks. In order to prevent health hazards, a dye must be approved for consumption before it can be marked as edible. Some separation methods that can be used to identify unapproved dyes include the solid phase extraction process, the overpressured thin layer chromatography process, and the use of reversed-phase plates.

Structures
The chemistry of acid dyes is complex and diverse. Most acid dyes are related in basic structure to the following:

 * Anthraquinone type: Many acid dyes are synthesized from chemical intermediates that form anthraquinone-like structures as their final state. Many blue dyes have this structure as their basic shape. The structure predominates in the leveling class of acid dye.
 * Azo dyes: The structure of azo dyes contains the azo group (R-N=N−R. Most azo dyes are not acid dyes, but many acid dyes are azo dyes.  Many acid dyes of the azo type are red in color.
 * Triarylmethane dye: These predominate in the milling class of dye. There are many yellow and green dyes commercially applied to fibers that are related to triphenylmethane.

Classes of acid dyes
Acidic dyes can be classified according to their dyeing behavior. This includes their wet fastness, migration ability, and dyeing pH:

 * Leveling acid dyes: These dyes have relatively low molecular weights. Consequently, they migrate more readily before fixation and they exhibit low wet fastness. They are not normally suited for use as apparel fabric. They require an acidic dye bath, often using sulfuric acid and sodium sulfate mixtures (pH2-4), together with leveling agents such as ethoxylated fatty amines.

 * Milling dyes: These dyes are high molecule weight, with the result that migrates slowly. Consequently, they exhibit wet fastness, which is useful for dyeing wool materials. Milling acid dyes are sometimes called 'Neutral acid dyes' as they do not require an acidic dye bath. They are commonly applied using Acetic acid (pH4-7).

 * Metal complex acid dyes: These dyes are composed of acid dye molecules complexed with a metal ion, which will usually be chromium or cobalt. Metal complex acid dyes have high molecular weights, giving them low mobility and high wet fastness. Due to this, they are commonly used on nylon and synthetic polyamide fibers. Metal complex acid dyes are economical. However, they produce relatively dull shades. Metal complex acid dyes take a larger range of pH in the dyebath (pH2-7).

Safety
Some dyes are mutagenic and carcinogenic, including methyl orange, acid red 26, and trypan blue.

Talk:Meforshim

Proposal to merge articles
Izak, please do not delete and redirect this page without discussion. In any case, you are incorrect when you claim that the word "meforshim" means "rabbinic literature" and that they are the same subject. That is incorrect. Rabbinic literature is a very general term for any works of rabbinic Judaism, written after the end of the Second Temple period. Practically any book written by a halakhic Jew fits into that broad category. The term meforshim is something much more specific: It refers to the subset of rabbinic literature that acts as a commentary on a specific book. RK 02:52, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

 * RK, Where did you get your "definitions" from, please? You are nit-picking here! Just read your own words: If its a "subset of rabbinic literature that acts as a commentary on a specific book" then it surely can belong with the Rabbinic literature article as its "subset" (your phrase). You have often redirected articles that are far more removed from each other than the gap between "Meforshim" and "Rabbinic literature". In your desire to follow some archaic formula to place "Rabbinic literature" in the ancient past you are clinging to this nebulous Hebrew word of "Meforshim" used almost exclusively by "yeshiva-bochurim" AFAIK (oh, and should we also have an article about Yeshiva bochurim now according to your "logic", to "differentiate" between Yeshiva and Rosh yeshiva? too) For your information, even the written WORKS of the rabbis of the last century, such Rabbi Moshe Feinstein and Aron Kotler are considered by many present-day Talmud-ic scholars to be correctly and completely part of Rabbinic literature (not even a "subset"!)...and if you read that article you will see that is says as much. Thus this article should be MERGED with it, since you are so touchy about the re-direct. IZAK 07:20, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Isaac, how can you question my definitions, when you turn around and agree with them? Also, it is not "nit picking" to request that we discuss a redirect for an article. It is a standard practice.  Also, I am puzzled by your statement: "...In your desire to follow some archaic formula to place "Rabbinic literature" in the ancient past..."  Izak, that is false. I never implied or said any such thing. Please don't attribute beliefs to me that I do not have. RK

 * Izak, you claimed that I am "clinging to this nebulous Hebrew word of Meforshim used almost exclusively by "yeshiva-bochurim". That is both incorrect and insulting. The ways I define the terms are used by non-Orthodox Jews, not only by those in Orthodox Yeshivas.RK

 * Izak writes "AFAIK (oh, and should we also have an article about Yeshiva bochurim now according to your "logic", to "differentiate" between Yeshiva and Rosh yeshiva? too)"
 * No, Izak, I do not propose such a thing. Don't be silly. RK

 * Izak writes that "even the written WORKS of the rabbis of the last century, such Rabbi Moshe Feinstein and Aron Kotler are considered by many present-day Talmud-ic scholars to be correctly and completely part of Rabbinic literature".
 * I can only respond by saying "Huh?" I never said otherwise!  You have filled this Talk page with attacks against things I do not believe.  RK 21:08, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

 * For the record, I did not blindly "delete" this article, I first MOVED ALL its contents into a seperate section on the Rabbinic literature article, and then redirected it. Nothing was lost and evrything was gained from a more complete article. IZAK 08:15, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Please merge this. It is redundant. JFW | T@lk  10:08, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I agree, it should be merged with Rabbinic literature--PinchasC 12:08, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I agree as well, please merge and turn this into a re-direct. Jayjg (talk) 13:37, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I am Ok with the merger. I merely wanted some discussion. I don't understand why Izak is making up all sorts of beliefs that I don't have, and then attacking me for them. RK

Other mergers
For my two cents: I think that the article on Bible Commentaries which is horrible and distinctly christian should be expanded. No, I just found Biblical exegesis and these two should be merged. The article on Jewish Biblical exegesis should be seriously expanded, discussing the perushim and mefar'shim on tanach, their genre and their approach, but not merely listing the authors.

I think this article, as it stands, should be merged with Rabbinic literature, with the rabbinic literature article being extended to discuss the general genres of literature, biblical exegesis being somewhat different to talmud commentaries. I do not think there should be an article called meforshim, and I do not think the content of the present article should be separate from the Rabbinic literature article.

Basically the whole thing's a mess including: and this article, many of which need to be merged and expanded.
 * Jewish Biblical exegesis
 * Rabbinic literature
 * Bible Commentaries
 * Biblical exegesis
 * Exegesis

My two cents became 50. --jnothman 14:20, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree with Jnothman. The articles on Bible Commentaries,Biblical exegesis, Exegesis, and Jewish Biblical exegesis should all be merged into one article.  The article on Rabbinic literature, of course, should remain distinct.  As such, there will be some overlap, but that's Ok.  I have already moved the information from Biblical Commentaries to Biblical exegesis.  I then NPOV'ed the Biblical Exegesis entry. RK 01:31, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)

 * Jewish Biblical exegesis now moved to Rabbinical literature, as that page consisted of "one line headings" and if it were ever written, it would in any case merely duplicate the "Rabbinical literature" article. IZAK 07:56, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Mercedes Bresso

Mercedes Bresso (born 12 July 1944) is an Italian politician. A member of the Democratic Party, she served as Member of the European Parliament from 2014 until 2019 and again from 2023 following the departure of Pierfrancesco Majorino. She retained her seat in the 2024 European Parliament election and became the eldest serving MEP.

Early life and career
Bresso was born in Sanremo, Province of Imperia, Liguria. In 1969, she received her degree in Economics; since 1973, she has been a university professor of economic institutions at the Politecnico di Torino (Faculty of Engineering).

Political career
From 1989 onwards, Bresso was a member of the provincial, regional and national party executives of the Democrats of the Left. 1995–2004, she was the President of the Turin Province, and, a Member of the Regional Council (1985–1995) and of the Regional Executive (1994–1995) with responsibility for regional planning in Piedmont. She was a member of the Committee of the Regions and its Bureau from 1998–2004. Between 2005 and 2010, she was President of the Piedmont region.

Since 2002, she has been the Italian Vice-Chairperson of AICCRE; 2000–2004, she was Chairperson of the World Federation of United Cities, and, 2004–2005, founding Chairperson of the Organisation Cités et Gouvernements locaux Unis.

Between March 2005 and October 2008, she was President of the Union of European Federalists (UEF).

President of the Committee of Region, 2010–2012
In February 2010, Bresso was elected the first female president of the European Committee of the Regions. She stood down at the end of April 2010, after being defeated on her home turf of Piedmont in her country's regional elections. Shortly after, Claudio Burlando, the president of Liguria and a fellow member of Italy's centre-left Democratic Party, gave up his seat on the Committee of Regions so that Bresso could have it.

Member of the European Parliament, 2014–2019
Bresso became a Member of the European Parliament following the 2014 European elections. A member of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats group, she served on the Committee on Regional Development and on the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, where she was her parliamentary group's coordinator. In November 2014, Bresso and Elmar Brok were appointed by the committee to explore the possibilities of the eurozone governance reform without any treaty change.

In addition to her committee assignments, Bresso was a member of the parliament's delegation for relations with Switzerland and Norway and to the EU-Iceland Joint Parliamentary Committee and the European Economic Area (EEA) Joint Parliamentary Committee. She chaired the European Parliament Intergroup on Rural, Mountainous and Remote Areas (RUMRA). She was also a member of the Intergroup on Integrity (Transparency, Anti-Corruption and Organized Crime).

Cooler

A cooler, portable ice chest, ice box, cool box, chilly bin (in New Zealand), or esky (Australia) is an insulated box used to keep food or drink cool.

Ice cubes are most commonly placed in it to help the contents inside stay cool. Ice packs are sometimes used, as they either contain the melting water inside, or have a gel sealed inside that stays cold longer than plain ice (absorbing heat as it changes phase).

Coolers are often taken on picnics, and on vacation or holiday. Where summers are hot, they may also be used just for getting cold groceries home from the store, such as keeping ice cream from melting in a hot automobile. Even without adding ice, this can be helpful, particularly if the trip home will be lengthy. Some coolers have built-in cupholders in the lid.

They are usually made with interior and exterior shells of plastic, with a hard foam in between. They come in sizes from small personal ones to large family ones with wheels. Disposable ones are made solely from polystyrene foam (such as is a disposable coffee cup) about 2 cm or one inch thick. Most reusable ones have molded-in handles; a few have shoulder straps. The cooler has developed from just a means of keeping beverages cold into a mode of transportation with the ride-on cooler. A thermal bag, cooler bag or cool bag is very similar in concept, but typically smaller and not rigid.

History
The original inventor of the cooler is unknown, with versions becoming available in various parts of the world throughout the 1950s.

The portable ice chest was patented in the USA by Richard C. Laramy of Joliet, Illinois. On February 24, 1951, Laramy filed an application with the United States Patent Office for a portable ice chest (Serial No. 212,573). The patent (#2,663,157) was issued December 22, 1953.

In 1952, the portable Esky Auto Box was released in Australia by the Sydney refrigeration company Malley’s. Made from steel and finished in baked enamel and chrome, with cork sheeting for insulation, the Esky became the first mass produced cooler on the market. The brand found huge success and by 1960, 500,000 Australian households owned one (in a country of approximately 3 million households at the time).

The Coleman Company popularized the cooler within the USA with its initial offering of a galvanized steel cooler in 1954. Three years later, Coleman developed a process to make a plastic liner for coolers and jugs.

Thermoelectric coolers
Some modern coolers are thermoelectric, plugging into a car's cigarette lighter socket. Rather than using a compressor and refrigerant such as a refrigerator or other heat pump, these use the Peltier effect along with an external fan to draw away the heat. By reversing the current, this concept can also heat the contents instead of cooling them, useful for keeping meals hot from a drive-through, or even to keep items from freezing in severely cold climates.

Thermoelectric coolers typically can drop the temperature by about 40 °F or 22 °C below ambient temperature, or can raise it by at least that much; this is really a function of the effectiveness of the boxes' thermal insulation. Some better units even have digital thermostat controls. They do draw a significant amount of power, however, and can drain a non running car's battery so much so that it cannot start. Most electric coolers have an undervoltage shutoff at around 10 or 10.5 volts to prevent this. Many come with power adapters, which use an electronic transformer to convert AC mains or line voltage down to 12 volts, with a lighter-like socket for the cooler's cord to plug in. Some also have a crossover-connection device to reverse the current for heating service.

Rotationally molded coolers
Rotationally molded (roto-molded) coolers have become popular in recent years. Roto-molded coolers are manufactured using a process called rotational molding, a process by which a heated and softened material is applied to the inner wall of a slowly rotating mold. The mold continues to rotate during the cooling phase, producing a thick and uniform final product. In the case of roto-molded coolers, the heated liquid plastic is applied over a thick layer of insulation. The resulting product has no seals or imperfections and is much stronger and more durable than traditional coolers. Examples of roto-molded coolers include YETI, ORCA or Grizzly coolers.

Ride-on coolers
A ride-on cooler is a means of transportation that can store and cool beverages and other food products. It is a combination of a low power engine with a go-cart frame which uses the cooler as a seat. The ride-on cooler has the ability to transport food and drinks short distances and can be used in a small backyard, a neighborhood, or at large outdoor parties. The ride-on cooler can be equipped with a trailer hitch, allowing it to tow an extra cooler as a trailer.

Designs use either gas-powered lawnmower engines or electric motors which are lighter, more energy efficient, and quieter. Both can have a wide range of power. The electric motors range from 250 W to 2000 W and generally use 12- to 60-volt batteries. Gas-powered engines range from 33 to 205 cm3 with a typical top-speed of 13 mph, but enthusiasts have built much faster versions.

The legal status of the ride-on cooler varies from country to country and in the US from state to state. In some jurisdictions, a driver's license is required to operate any form of motor vehicle on public roads, and an intoxicated driver can be convicted of driving under the influence for riding one.

Hybrid III

The Hybrid III is the standard crash test dummy for frontal crash tests as of the beginning of the 21st century. It was initially only a 50th percentile male (equal in height and weight to the average North American male at the time of its development).

Hybrid III, the 50th percentile male dummy which made its first appearance in 1976, is the familiar crash test dummy. If he could stand upright, he would be 5' 9" tall and would have a mass of approximately 78 kg (172 lb). He occupies the driver's seat in all the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) 65 km/h (40 mph) offset frontal crash tests.

Hybrid III has a "big brother" model, the 95th percentile Hybrid III, at 188 cm (6'2") and 100 kg (223 lb). The 'female' Hybrid III is a 5th percentile dummy that is based on the same male body shape as the others, at a diminutive 152 cm (5 ft) tall and 50 kg (110 lb). The two Hybrid III child dummies represent a 21 kg (47 lb) six-year-old and a 15 kg (33 lb) three-year-old. The child models are recent additions to the crash test dummy family; because so little hard data are available on the effects of accidents on children, and such data are very difficult to obtain, these models are based in large part on estimates and approximations.

Fred Klym

Fred Theodore Klym (September 28, 1907 in Brokenhead, Manitoba – November 25, 1988) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He was a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1959 to 1969.

Klym was the son of Fred Klym and Maria Molinski, immigrants from the Ukraine who came to Canada in 1907. Although he had initially planned to become a lawyer and began his studies at the University of Manitoba, the Depression intervened, and to assist his family, he changed his educational focus, and transferred to the Manitoba Teacher Training School. He taught school from 1930 to 1956. Klym bought the family farm when his parents moved to Beausejour, Manitoba in 1949, farming there until 1972.

He was initially associated with the Liberal-Progressive Party, and unsuccessfully sought that party's nomination in St. Clements for the 1953 provincial election. He registered as an Independent Liberal-Progressive candidate after losing the nomination to Stanley Copp by six votes, but withdrew before election day.

Klym later switched to the Progressive Conservative Party, and was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1959 provincial election, defeating Liberal-Progressive incumbent William Lucko by 371 votes in the Winnipeg-area riding of Springfield. He defeated Lucko again by 431 votes in the 1962 election, and by 584 votes in that of 1966. On the latter occasion, Richard Loeb of the New Democratic Party finished second.

Klym was a solid backbench supporter of the governments of Dufferin Roblin and Walter Weir. He was instrumental in the creation of the Alfred Hole Goose Sanctuary, located within Whiteshell Provincial Park, and was an ardent supporter of the construction of the Red River Floodway - the floodway created to protect the City of Winnipeg from the nearly annual spring flooding of the Red River.

He ran in the 1969 provincial election in the significantly redistributed riding of Lac du Bonnet, and was defeated by Samuel Uskiw of the NDP.

Talk:Guide dog

Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 27 January 2020 and 12 May 2020. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Agianna123.

Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT (talk) 22:50, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

copyright issues
Technically, phrases like "guide do and "seeing eye dog" are copyrighted by the schools the dogs come from (in this case, by guide dogs for the blind, inc. and the seeing eye, respectively.) The proper generic term, and thus the correct title for this article is "dog guide". Students of these schools tend to be protective of their dog's status as a "guide dog", "seeing eye dog", or in my case "leader dog". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.27.121.239 (talk • contribs) 17:01, 2 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Good Point!  The term "Guide dog" is a simple noun and is not trademarked.   Most guide dog training schools/companies use this term for dogs that they train unless they have a different trademarked term that they use for the dogs.  Companies as Seeing Eye, Inc and Leader Dog, Inc are examples of companies that use alternate names for their dogs.   Additionally, these companies refer to dogs trained by other companies as "Dog Guides" rather than "Guide Dogs", this is probably due to the fact that so many other schools use the term "Guide Dog" in the name.     The use of the term "Seeing Eye" dog could be problematic -  The Seeing Eye, Inc.  has trademarked that term and usage of the term is listed in their FAQ.   Wikipedia has a redirect from seeing eye dog to guide dog and they may not like that very much.   While I do wonder if the term may one day become a Genericized trademark that's not a fight for wikipedia to take on. Trysha 23:19, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

 * So...we should move it to Dog guide then? - The Great Gavini I'm more of a cat person, actually 09:03, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't think we need to. "Guide dog" itself isn't trademarked (as noted above) and it's the most common descriptive phrase for these dogs (as in the list of training schools in this article), so it certainly doesn't refer to any one in particular. Elf | Talk 19:40, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Rules for behaving around guide dogs
I have added a new section dealing with how to behave around a guide dog in public. Please ad to and revise the section as this information is long overdue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hurricane Omega (talk • contribs) 00:41, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, ok. But the section really needs to be cleaned up to make it encyclopaedic.  The language should be more formal and less chatty (I feel like you're speaking directly to me, as the reader, and it's very distracting).  Wikipedia is not a user manual, or a guide, so this section needs to be kept short and tight, and should probably be renamed as well.  Exploding Boy 05:06, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Very helpful guidelines... very poorly written though --Froth 03:48, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Valuable information, but agree with the above - not very encyclopedic and reading too much like an instruction manual. If the editor adapted it from another website, why not just add a link to it or find a suitable one with similar guidelines? The section in dispute could be reinvented as a description of how handlers treat their service dogs compared to regular pets.--ChrisJMoor 01:43, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Blind vs. visually impaired
"Blind."

We should refraim from using the tearm blind as many people belive blind is no vision at all. I suggest we use the tearm visually impaired.

Brandon A visually impaired person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.92.203.168 (talk • contribs) 2006-07-13T15:17:57

Training Schools
I think someone should attempt to start articles about the various training schools. I don't think any of them have an article. I also think a section on etiquette should be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hurricane Omega (talk • contribs) 15:17, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I've started an article on Leader Dogs for the Blind. I hope someone can expand it as well as make articles for the other major training schools. Guide Dogs for the Blind is the most commonly used school in the Western U.S. anyone can access their site for information on training and etiquette. EE —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hurricane Omega (talk • contribs) 20:52, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

List of Schools
I think articles on all the schools is great idea. But as user User:Icemuon pointed listing the individual schools on this page could get ugly. So I will go build a page to list the schools on. I am thinking divided by country or continent. Jeepday 11:43, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * ok the page List of Guide Dog Schools (also built redirect with no caps) is built it probably needs to be better populated before we link to it from the article. It may be the first of the year before I can do much work on it so feel free to jump in. Jeepday 12:03, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Training length
Someone asked to verify the length of time it takes to formally train a guide dog. Here are some links to a few organizations with their estimations. About four months is what most of the schools will say. In my experience, six to eight months would be more along the lines a service dog would undergo, although seizure response dogs can take even up to a year. Hearing dogs also have a short training time, but this is because most of their's is done in the home of their handler (training organizations aren't going to have the same type of ringing phone, fire alarm, etc.). Hope this helps. -- Sarranduin (Talk) 22:47, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Religion and Guide Dogs
I just ran across this news article "Guide dogs not haram, rules Shariah"

The Shariah Council has lifted any ban on guide dogs used by the disabled.

Published: 1st February 2003

Might it make for an interesting addition to the guide dog article? Jeepday 04:33, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Certainly, there's already mention of taxi drivers etc. trying to refuse access to guide dog users, so the fact that it's already been ruled illegal... that link should at least be mentioned. I'll get to it. --  Sarrandúin  [ Talk +  Contribs  ] 03:30, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Harness and lead picture
I've added a picture of a harness and lead, which I think was sorely needed in the article. However, The lengthy discription in the caption ought to be worked into the article at some point, but I don't have the time, so if someone could do that, that would be nice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hurricane Omega (talk • contribs) 23:02, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Traffic Lights
Being that dogs are color blind, I suppose they can't be taught how to help a blind person cross the street. How do they do it? Do they just listen for the traffic to change direction, or does the dog help them figure out when no more cars are coming? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk • contribs) 20:24 July 15, 2007
 * The handler listens to the traffic and other people at the crosswalk, then tells the dog "forward" when they can go. It is then up to the dog to determine if any cars or anything present are a danger and disobey if appropriate. Many large city intersections have tones to help visually-impaired folk determine when it's time to go too.  Sarrandúin  [ Talk +  Contribs  ] 23:02, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

"Article deals primarily with the United States and does not represent a worldwide view of the subject."-tag
I am a guide dog handler from Austria (Europe). The article represents only the situation in the USA, other countries/continents are hardly mentioned or most times completely disregarded in the article. 90.146.81.102 17:51, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I respectfully disagree. The article could use more info on the laws regarding assistance dogs in various countries, but it is not particularly US-centric. From what I understand, the information in the article also covers guide dogs in Austria and European nations- for example, in the US, it is wholly illegal to deny access to a guide dog and handler where the public is invited, but the article only mentions this in a small section after stating the laws vary widely worldwide. Also, I don't think the training differs much worldwide... and the section here is quite vague, in any case. If you think it's missing something, however, feel free to edit it in!  Sarrandúin  [ Talk +  Contribs  ] 18:54, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I believe Sarranduin is correct, the article is not US-centric, but could be improved by expansion of that includes other perspectives. Wikipedia is all about adding more content.  Jeepday (talk) 03:36, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Juno harness
Can someone knowledgable about the subject add some mention of a "Juno harness" and its function to the section about training? There was a clue about this object on Jeopardy! (Double Jeopardy! Round clue 20) and there appears to be no mention of it on Wikipedia and only a couple scanty references on the Web. Thanks! Robert K S (talk) 19:38, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Link issues
in the Guide dog accessibility section there are two links that have serious issues. This link "...ruled that the ban on dogs does not apply to those used for guide work,[3]..." takes the person who click on it to this site: http://menmedia.co.uk/asiannews/sport/football/manchester_united/s/180/180595_reds_stars_suffer_video_nasty.html which has nothing to do with guide dogs or Islam in any way. This one:https://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_ato2004-2006/2006/Decreto/D5904.htm is flagged by Firefox as being insecure content meaning Firefox users can't access it. Can these links be fixed so that they show the correct information and all users can access it? Tydoni (talk) 17:58, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I noticed the link issue for reference [3] as well. Menmedia.co.uk has two articles related to service dogs and Muslims (below). I believe the second link is the one that is the correct reference in this case.
 * Drivers fined for refusing blind passenger
 * Guide dogs not haram, rules Shariah
 * In regard to the link issue for reference [2] being insecure, to say that "Firefox users can't access it" is incorrect. Users can choose to access the site by clicking on "I understand the risks" and adding the certificate. Unfortunately, the error message will scare most away even though the site is valid. It's possible that the installation of the certificate wasn't properly completed on the server hosting the site and this is what's causing the error. I'm hardly an expert on this, however, so that may not be the case. There's an easy fix available; simply drop the security off the URL so it becomes http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_Ato2004-2006/2006/Decreto/D5904.htm. The link will work perfectly fine with no security errors.
 * I don't know who, if anyone is maintaining this page. If these links aren't updated within a week, I'll go ahead and do it. I don't wish to step on anyone's toes but I also want to make sure that people have access to accurate data.

First use
On several websites i've found refrences to a mural found in Herculaneum showing a blind man being guided by a dog dated to AD79, should this be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.2.31.192 (talk) 23:31, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Certainly, the International Guide Dog Federation, the CNIB, and even this blog refer to ancient Roman murals depicting guide dogs. Mac Tíre   Cowag  14:21, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Opposition to guide dogs
IP 41.* has expressed the concern that the section entitled until now Muslim objections "seems irrelevant and out of place" (edit summary). I cannot agree that substantial opposition to the use of guide dogs, reported in reliable sources and properly referenced, is irrelevant to an article about guide dogs. I accept that the placement of the subsection could be improved. I note that the second paragraph of that section has been tagged unsourced since August 2011. Thus I will restore just the first paragraph of the section with a different title and disposition. The second paragraph should only be restored if reliable sources can be provided. Further discussion here of course entirely welcome. --Mirokado (talk) 21:07, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Initial edit completed, I will "probably" tidy up other refs too. I have also removed the Daily Telegraph ref. Although very interesting it was an opinion piece rather than news and referred to improper imposition of religious views by a public servant in general rather than discrimination against guide dogs and their owners in particular. In order to justify "many" in the content, I have added a quote from the reference referring to the "widespread" occurrence of this problem. --Mirokado (talk) 21:29, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Dog Breeds
The article sites Yorkshire terriers as a breed which are commonly used breed, which startled me; is there a reference for that? -- AK2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.66.179 (talk) 16:18, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

German Shepherds are still used by Guide Dog Organizations, so this should be edited - see Leader Dogs for the Blind and Guiding Eyes for the Blind

Lede
This sentence - "The handler might be likened to an aircraft's navigator, who must know how to get from one place to another, and the dog is the pilot, who gets them there safely." is like something that would appear in a children's book, not encyclopaedic at all, and certainly not appropriate for the lede. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick t 01:41, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Costs
Please address the costs associated with providing and maintaining a guide dog. I understand it can cost about $40,000 to train and place a single guide dog. Is this figure accurate? How are these costs paid? Thanks! --Lbeaumont (talk) 19:28, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

service animal
In the UK I've only heard them called guide dogs, though US terminology usually takes over here sooner or later. But is there a distinction? Does the term service animal imply that they may be used for another service instead of as a guide? If so, what services? And does it imply that animals other than dogs may be used? If so, which animals and do the legal rights and exemptions apply to those animals too or only guide dogs? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.193.33 (talk) 09:35, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
 * A service animal doesn't have to be a guide dog, but can perform tasks for people with disabilities other than visual impairment. Guide dogs are one type of service animal but the terms aren't synonyms. Sjö (talk) 12:28, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Doom Guard are mindless golems that only have the instincts of the warrior spirits which ignited them. While they tend to be evil they do not think or have emotions. Their creators give them a basic purpose upon creation that may never change and is fairly simple. Other variation of Doom Guard are rumored to have been encountered but have not been substantiated, some of them are; four armed, having crowns of soul stones, wielding artifacts of great power, made from hell metals and having extending arms.

Hi, I saw your post on Suspected copyright violations. I think you're right. It does look like a copy & paste from the manueal. I reverted it back to an older version.

"However opponents say that neglects to consider the fact that the entire region is already well overrun with cars, trucks and buses, and that the addition of the 710 extension will do little, if any, to correct that. Caltrans admits that the extension would be just as congested as, or even more congested than, any other freeway in the region from its opening day forward."--putting aside the pervasive weasely-ness, this doesn't even pass the smell test; anybody with awareness of the basic facts, some of them admitted to in this article, e.g. how many times the Feds have been dragged in and the constant lobbying of Sacramento by every other city in eastern L.A.

Is this material really of importance to South Pasadena? The Arias matter seems like a closed issue of little ongoing relevance. Any thoughts? -Willmcw 05:48, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * In March 2005, controversy spreaded when South Pasadena Unified School District Superintendent Rob Arias reassigned four school administrators, which was against district policy. The school board accepted the reassignments, leading to a walkout of students at South Pasadena High School and angering many South Pasadena residents. The reassignments were secretly made, in which school board members met in a closed session to reassign the administrators, in violation of the Brown Act. A few weeks later, the school board reversed their decisions after numerous emails sent to board members and weeks of pressure from residents and parents. The board admitted that it was against district policy for a superintendent to reassign employees. After reversing their decisions, one member called for Arias' resignation. He did so a few weeks later. He leaves the South Pasadena Unified School district after nine months as Superintendent of Schools.

When discussing academics, we have to look at the school's performance at a much broader scale. SPUSD has high API numbers as well as decent averages on standardized tests such as the SAT I. Comparing this district with La Cañada or San Marino is like trying to make distinctions amongst several fine restaurants. All three are superb public school systems relative to what California as a whole has to offer to its students. In an article on a site as widely read as Wikipedia, that's the kind of perspective articles should be written from.Alexhlau I also agree with Willmcw that the Arias case is old news and is not really relevant to what's currently going on in South Pas...

In regards to South Pas APIs, the South Pasadena demographics are different from those of San Marino and La Canada. South Pasadena has a substantial number of condominiums as well as rental properties. A large number of its inhabitants are lower middle class/working class. San Marino by contrast is all single family detached housing with substantially more wealthy inhabitants. Such economic distinctions in regards to class diversity are not corrected for in the API.

Incorporation
I have read, in a book on architecture in LA County, that Pasadena and South Pasadena were incorporated separately because one was wet (allowed alcoholic beverages to be sold) and the other was dry (sales prohibited). Can anyone point to more direct sources on this? Thanks.

Under the "Demographics" heading, it says "Johnny Chen was considered the fastest Asian runner in the San Gabriel Valley." It seems really random.. and is it really necessary to put that? lol

I'd like to see a citation on the claim that South Pasadena residents call their town "Mayberry". South Pasadena is my home town and I lived there from 1966-1987 and NEVER heard any South Pasadenan refer to it that way. Spidra 18:15, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

How about everybody(the Pasadena Star-News included) referring to your city as "SoPas", just like the perceived contention that the City of Moreno Valley HATES being nicknamed "MoVal" by the Riverside County Press-Enterprise(and just about everybody else in the state)?...Baldwin91006 16:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.

Catullus 64

Catullus 64 is an epyllion or "little epic" poem written by Latin poet Catullus. Catullus' longest poem, it retains his famed linguistic witticisms while employing an appropriately epic tone.

Though ostensibly concerning itself with the marriage of Peleus and the sea-nymph Thetis (parents of the famed Greek hero Achilles), a sizeable portion of the poem's lines is devoted to the desertion of Ariadne by the legendary Theseus. Although the poem implies that Theseus and Ariadne were in love, in reality the text never explicitly states that Theseus even looked at Ariadne. Told through ecphrasis, or the depiction of events on inanimate objects, the bulk of the poem details Ariadne's agonized solace. Her impassioned vituperations and eventual discovery by the wine-god Bacchus are some of the included plot events.

The poem relies heavily on the theme of nostalgia as Catullus reflects on what he believes are better times in Roman history. He wrote the poem during a time of civil war in Rome, even referencing brothers' blood being drenched in brothers' blood in line 399. He looks back on the wedding of Peleus and Thetis as a time where Gods may come to a wedding, unlike the modern times he lived in.

The poem is written in dactylic hexameter, the meter of epic poetry, such as Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and Virgil's Aeneid.

The work is often cited as Catullus' masterpiece, with Charlotte Higgins considering it one of the greatest literary works ever written.

Izzy Sinclair

Isabelle "Izzy" Sinclair is a fictional character who appeared in the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. She was a companion of the Eighth Doctor.

Izzy was born on October 12, 1979 (the same day that the first issue of Doctor Who Weekly was published). However, she did not know where she was born, nor did she know who her biological parents were. She was adopted by Les and Sandra Sinclair, but because of her unknown ancestry, chose to call herself Izzy S (for "Izzy Somebody") instead.

Izzy was first introduced in End Game, which ran in issues #244-#247 of DWM, written by Alan Barnes and drawn by Martin Geraghty, where she was a 17-year-old science fiction fan and amateur paranormal investigator who lived in the town of Stockbridge, England. She was also a friend of Maxwell Edison, a UFO enthusiast who had encountered the Fifth Doctor several years before.

When Izzy first met the Doctor, she and Max had stolen an artifact that was being sought by the Doctor's old enemy, the Celestial Toymaker. The Toymaker had taken the entire town of Stockbridge into a pocket dimension and turned everyone into dolls save for Izzy and Max. The Doctor arrived in the midst of this, rescued his friends, defeated the Toymaker once again and took Izzy on board the TARDIS as his newest companion. Maxwell declined to travel with the Doctor. Izzy soon met and had many adventures alongside Fey Truscott-Sade. Fey is a trusted agent of Britain, working to protect its interests during the early days of World War 2.

Izzy had left Earth without telling her adoptive parents, but that did not concern her much as she was trying to escape what she felt was a too-mundane life. As a result, she revelled in the experience of travelling with the Doctor, even though it was usually dangerous. However, her vivacious and trusting nature eventually had tragic consequences. When the TARDIS was swallowed by a gigantic snake-like spacecraft called Ophidius, Izzy and the Doctor met Destrii, an amphibious alien with the characteristics of a humanoid fish. Destrii was being pursued by the group of aliens that controlled Ophidius, and gained Izzy's confidence only to switch bodies with her to evade capture. When Destrii (in Izzy's body) was apparently disintegrated, Izzy had to deal with the possibility that she would be in an alien body for the rest of her life. The Doctor tried to comfort her by telling her of the times he had awoken with a new body as well.

During her time in that body, Izzy helped fight murderous artistic aliens in 1940s Mexico and made several friends who slightly restored her confidence. This occurred during the 'Day of the Dead' celebration, so her new appearance went relatively unnoticed. She and the Doctor later traveled to a water world to examine her new physiology with allies, but they were all kidnapped by peace-loving Daleks.

Just as she began to adjust to her new body, Izzy was kidnapped by operatives of Destrii's mother, the Matriax Scalamanthia of the planet Oblivion, who wanted her "daughter" to prepare for her wedding by fighting a duel to the death. While trying to trace Izzy's whereabouts with the help of his former companion Fey, the Doctor discovered that Destrii was still alive due to the 'disintegration' beam having a secondary 'storage' function. He took Destrii to Oblivion to switch their bodies back. In the process, both Destrii and Izzy saw into each other's minds, and Destrii saw how finding out she had been adopted made Izzy withdraw emotionally, unable to trust herself or admit that she was a lesbian. Contrasting her life with Destrii made Izzy realize how fortunate she was to have a family that loved her. Finally coming to terms with who she was, Izzy asked the Doctor to take her back to Stockbridge so she could make amends to her adoptive parents. The Doctor dropped Izzy off at the point where she began travelling with him, so that from her parents' point of view, she had never left.

Izzy was the Eighth Doctor's most constant companion in the comic strip, appearing in nearly all of the Eighth Doctor's appearances between 1996 and 2003. Her time with the Doctor saw the coming and going of both Kroton and Fey as companions. An older Izzy made a cameo appearance in the last regular Eighth Doctor comic strip story, The Flood (DWM #353) and narrates part of the story. She also appears in the short story "Syntax" by David Bailey, published in the Big Finish Productions anthology Short Trips: Life Science, set during her time with the Doctor.

In the 2008/2009 Tenth Doctor strip The Stockbridge Child, Izzy is mentioned as having gone travelling around the world by Max who also says she found something "amazing" in Kabul but cannot reveal what before being interrupted by the Doctor's new companion Majenta. Izzy makes one more appearance in the 2016 story "The Stockbridge Showdown", published in DWM #500 and featuring the Twelfth Doctor and all his regular companions original to Doctor Who Magazine.

Appearances in other media
Izzy appears as a companion to the Eighth Doctor in the Big Finish Productions audio drama The Company of Friends, where she is portrayed by Jemima Rooper. This story sees her convince the Doctor to take her back to acquire a lost copy of a comic strip she was a fan of as a child, which leads to the discovery that the magazine in question was written by aliens and the issue was pulled because a fan of the future disliked a revelation about a key character in the comic.
