 * Young advocated a process theory, which is a form of integral theory.

I don't think that all process philosophies are integral. Have you listened to Wilber's CD "Speaking of Everything" in which he discusses Whitehead explicitly? --goethean ॐ 18:52, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Can't say I have listened to that one. I just got "Kosmic Consciousness" from the library this week.  I have read quite a lot of Whitehead, except for Process and Reality which is some of the most dense prose ever written.  Most people use a commentary text to help get through that one.  I would be interested to hear Wilber's take on Whitehead.  Whitehead does refer to an "underlying eternal energy" in Science and the Modern World which he then equates with Spinoza's "one substance", which is another way of saying "non-dual reality". That would seem to be an integral approach.  --Blainster 07:50, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Removed some invalid ISBNs
As part of normal ISBN maintenance (see CAT:INVALID) I removed some invalid ones. This is determined by the check sum -- isbn.org/converterpub.asp can be used to verify these numbers. All the listed books have been left with at least one working ISBN, so I felt it was OK to remove the ISBNs for the extra editions in the case where it was invalid. Now the page is safely out of Category:Articles with invalid ISBNs. I trust that having the ISBNs listed for the extra editions is not of key importance to the article. With enough patience you might be able to find good ISBNs for the extra editions. EdJohnston 02:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Ibpassociation. You have removed the Cleanup tag from the article, yet I still see some small formatting problems in it. You might want to take a look at the Manual of Style and fix them yourself. Sarg 18:53, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Copyvio
I deleted the copyvio revisions. The revisions added after the copyvio notice were placed look nothing like the identified copyvio text, so I restored those two revisions. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 03:51, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

Technical
I removed the 'technical' tag after editing the lead paragraph for brevity and style more consistent with some other pages on health-care occupations. I moved the highly technical content down the page under specific sections with 'citation needed' tags -- hopefully someone with in-depth knowledge of the field can help with those. I also added some references and inline citations. Guptan99 (talk) 17:25, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Joseph Van Belleghem

Joseph Gustave Van Belleghen (September 6, 1901 in St. Vital, Manitoba – January 5, 1967) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Liberal-Progressive from 1949 to 1953.

The son of Désiré Van Belleghem and Louise Bossuyt, Van Belleghem was educated at the École Provencher and St. Boniface College. He worked as an accountant for the Canadian National Railway and then operated a hotel at St. Boniface in partnership with his brother for several years. In 1929, Van Belleghem married Clara Ysenbaert. He served as an alderman in St. Boniface for eighteen years between 1931 and 1965.

Van Belleghem was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1949 provincial election for the two-member constituency of St. Boniface, which elected members by a single transferable ballot. Van Belleghem finished first in this poll, with CCF leader Edwin Hansford finishing second. In 1952, he was the only member of the Liberal-Progressive caucus to support an electoral reform bill which attempted to correct the under-representation of urban members.

Van Belleghem initially planned to contest the Liberal-Progressive nomination in St. Boniface again in the 1953 election, but withdrew from the race after complaints that his campaign was not being informed of meeting times. He sought re-election as an Independent Liberal-Progressive and was defeated, He placed third on the first count, fell to fourth after transfers, then was eliminated.

He was later elected Mayor of St. Boniface, serving from 1955 to 1960. Fluent in Dutch and French, he was appointed Belgian Consul for Manitoba in 1964 and held this position until his death.

He died in St. Boniface.

An "École Van Belleghem" was opened in Winnipeg shortly after his death.

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was delete. — Xezbeth 19:41, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

Bogworld
Listed on speedy for vandalism by User:-Ril-, but vanity is not a speedy criteria. Listed here by me, but no vote. Article is about a webcomic that claims to be one of the oldest in the world, going back to the late 80s. Meelar (talk) 18:54, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * No vote. I echo your sentiments.  If the site and article can be validated as to their claims, it'd be an interesting article to see develop.  But... since the early '80s?  That really seems far-fetched to me.  Did we even have the possibility for high-res graphics back then? Fishy... 216.158.31.195 19:02, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, in the early 80s the Internet was reserved for companies and contained only text data. No way a webcomic was possible back then. Mgm|(talk) 19:36, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Exactly. I change to a strong delete for vanity and just ineptness. 216.158.31.195 20:13, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Anything of the sort from the late 80's / early 90's is most likely to have appeared or been mentioned on Usenet.  Didn't find anything relevant at Google groups.  (Note: I disagree with the assessment about Internet transmission of images at the time; technophiles of a certain age will have memories of UUencode/UUdecode).  Alexa check of www.bogworld.com shows "not in top 100,000 sites". --Tabor 20:23, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * So maybe it was possible. But I doubt company bosses would allow image transmissions over the internet for personal use, right? Mgm|(talk) 21:35, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't know where you get the idea that the Internet was exclusively the province of private companies in those years. The backbone was run by universities under grant of the NSF--university faculty, staff, and students were much more prolific users of the medium.  And yes, people used it for all sorts of questionable things. --Tabor 02:11, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep But re write. Bogworld was very early net art, and should be represented.
 * A website that we are told existed since the "late 80s", thus pre-dating the invention of the World Wide Web in 1990 by several years. Delete. Uncle G 03:30, 2005 Jun 4 (UTC)
 * Delete unverifiable. JamesBurns 05:10, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The brief version supporting side is to keep the name of the article AND the intro paragraph free of the UN name (FYROM). Keep in mind that you can select more than one of the options (8! to the moment) that may suit you. Please participate in the vote and ask other editors you know to do so too.

Arvanitic
Hi, regarding this edit. How can you know something like that. There is no source confirming it, and it is highly unlikely. How many Arvanite villagers do you know who know what an ausbausprache is? Also, Arvanitic is a language on the Albanian branch on the Indo European language family. Either way, ausbauspache or not, it is still a form of Albanian, unless you are claiming that Arvanites view it as a language isolate. Please consider reverting yourself or rewording it so as to make clear that what the Arvanites resent is being associated with the Albanians, and that this means that they dislike their language being called Albanian, not that there are any linguistic implications, because this is absurd and impossible to prove. Thanks. --Telex 17:39, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * You said it yourself, Rexhep. The Arvanite villagers couldn't care less about their language's genetic classification. Their rejection of the term "Albanian" is purely a question of identity and implies nothing about Arvanitic's relationship to Albanian, which is undoubtedly close.--Theathenae 17:41, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Rexhep? Yes, be that as it may, there is no source saying that Arvanitic is not Albanian. Why not use the wording of the 1995 report: although the [Arvanitic] community loathes its [the usage of the term Albanian to refer to their language] use. I've made a few edits, tell me what you think. --Telex 17:45, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * BTW do you have any idea if the term "Macedonia" was ever used officially in Ottoman times. There's a big gap on that at the article Macedonia (terminology). --Telex 17:55, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Μην ξανακάνεις επαναφορά στο Aromanians, υποθέτω ξέρεις γιατί. Αυτός ο Greier δεν σταματάει ποτέ. Έχουν υπάρξει προβλήματα με αυτόν στο Vlachs of Serbia, στο John Hunyadi και στο Fustanella. --Telex 18:27, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Benenden School

Benenden School is a private boarding school for girls in Kent, England, in Hemsted Park at Benenden, between Cranbrook and Tenterden. Benenden has a boarding population of over 550 girls aged 11 to 18, as well as a limited number of day student spaces.

Facilities
The school occupies a Victorian country house set in 250 acres of gardens and woodland in the Weald of Kent. Living, learning, sporting, and leisure facilities are clustered around the original 19th-century main house. There have been, and continue to be, many improvements to the site. There is a sports centre (known as "SPLASH"), a humanities building ("Leelands"), a design technology centre, a study centre (Clarke Centre) and a theatre and drama teaching complex, completed in 2007 at the cost of £2.3 million. The study centre includes the Eugenia Leung Library and classrooms. A new science centre, one of the most advanced centres of scientific learning available in the independent sector, was opened by the Princess Royal on 10 October 2012. The school's most recent enhancement has been the construction of an all-weather sports pitch and pavilion in September 2016.

Hemsted Park
The grounds which the school now occupies are known as Hemsted Park. The earliest available records show the land in the possession of Odo, Earl of Kent, the man believed to have commissioned the Bayeux Tapestry, having been given it—among much other property in the county—by his half-brother William the Conqueror.

The first property on the site was a house built by Robert of Hemsted in 1216. In the late 14th century, Richard II granted the manor to William of Guldeford. Elizabeth I visited Thomas Guldeford at the house and he was knighted by her at Rye a few days later.

In 1718 the property was sold to Sir John Norris, the commander-in-chief of George II's navy. He did a lot of work landscaping the property, forming much of the park as it is now.

Thomas Hallett Hodges bought the house in 1786. He reduced the size of the building and filled in the moat that had until that point encircled it. He also created the lake in the grounds. The Elizabethan property was demolished in 1860 following the acquisition of the estate by Lord Cranbrook. He commissioned the building of a new house, the extant Hemsted House, employing David Brandon, president of the Royal Institute of British Architects to design the new mansion. The house, which featured a prominent tower and was described as having "alarming vitality" was subsequently remodelled in 1912 by Herbert Cescinsky at the behest of its new owner, newspaper magnate and later Lord Rothermere, Harold Harmsworth. The remodelling saw the "vitality" toned down and the upper levels of the tower removed. It is now listed at grade II.

Benenden School
The school was founded in 1923 by three teachers from Wycombe Abbey—Christine Sheldon, Anne Hindle, and Kathleen Bird—who aimed to create a "happy school with personal integrity and service to others always in mind, where everyone would be given the chance to follow her own bent". It hence maintains sister-school ties with Wycombe Abbey, as well as Godstowe Preparatory School, High Wycombe, and St Leonards School.

In July 1923 the first council meeting of the new school was held and 24 girls were registered. The new school had a temporary home in Bickley for the first term while the three founders set about finding a new permanent site, requiring at least seventy bedrooms and large grounds. In January 1924 Hemsted Park, near the village of Benenden in Kent, was leased to the founders, and the school was named Benenden School, to avoid confusion with Hemel Hempstead. In March 1924 the prospectus of Benenden School (Kent) Limited was issued, with shares priced at £10 each; five shares entitled the holder to a nomination to the school. Every parent was encouraged to pay a year's fees in advance. In September 1924 there were 126 girls on the school roll, and in October 1924 the new Benenden School bought Hemsted House for £20,000.

1927 was an important year for Benenden, with the number of girls reaching 200. The first general inspection was made and Benenden was recognised as 'efficient'. The Seniors' Association was established, and the school magazine was inaugurated.

As the school grew, so more boarding houses were established or constructed: Norris House in 1924, Medway and Marshall in 1925, Echyngham in 1930, and Guldeford in 1936. The dining room was also built in 1936, with the school hall following in 1938.

In 1940, the school was evacuated from Kent, moving into the Hotel Bristol in Newquay, Cornwall, led by Christine Sheldon and Kathleen Bird, two of the founders. Anne Hindle stayed at Benenden to look after the estate and persuaded the Ministry of Health to use Benenden as a military hospital. On 3 August 1944, Jean Maridor, a Free French pilot, died when his aircraft crashed close to the school buildings and military hospital. He had just destroyed a German V-1 flying bomb the explosion from which also destroyed his own aircraft.

The founders retired in 1954 and Elizabeth Clarke became headmistress. In 1963 Princess Anne and Princess Basma of Jordan became pupils at Benenden. Janet Allen became headmistress in 1976. The Jubilee Wing was opened by Janet Allen and Kathleen Bird in 1977.

Gillian du Charme became headmistress in 1985. The new Guldeford House opened the following year. The 1987 hurricane hit Benenden hard and over 250 trees were lost in the parkland. Further expansion to the school began with the opening of the new science and medical wing, Leelands, in 1988. SPLASH opened in 1990. Two further sixth form houses opened in 1993 (Limes and Oaks).

The 75th anniversary of the school was celebrated in 1998–99 with a service at St Paul's Cathedral and a programme of special events for seniors at Benenden, St James's Palace and other London venues. The book Benenden: A Great Company by David Souden was published. The school play, written for the occasion, A Great Company was performed at Her Majesty's Theatre, Haymarket.

Claire Oulton, Head of St Catherine's Bramley and a graduate from Somerville College, Oxford, was appointed headmistress in 2000. In 2001 the Clarke Centre with the Eugenia Leung Library was completed. Norris House was redeveloped in 2003, creating new study bedrooms. The school dining room and cloisters were refurbished. The "new stage" theatre fundraising campaign was launched.

The new theatre was opened by Helena Bonham Carter in 2007. Grease was its first production in December of that year. The Seniors' Window was added to the chapel as part of a refurbishment and rededication. The following year the eco-classroom, a totally self-sustaining building, opened in the Victorian Water Gardens.

In 2008, there were about 525 girls aged eleven to eighteen, of whom 182 were in the sixth form. The average class size was 16, and there were 75 schoolteachers, making a teacher pupil ratio of 1:7. All girls were prepared for GCSE, AS Level, A Level, and universities, and academic, sport, drama, art, music, and design technology scholarships were available. In that year the Good Schools Guide called the school "[e]veryone's idea of a traditional, up-market, girls' boarding school, though not remotely hidebound by tradition."

The Benenden Science Centre was opened by the Princess Royal on 10 October 2012. The Leelands building was refurbished and became a classroom block for humanities subjects. The new all-weather pitch and pavilion was opened by television personality Davina McCall on 10 September 2016. Primarily for lacrosse and hockey, the new facility allows girls to train in all weather and in the mornings and evenings. After their first season training on the new pitch, Benenden's 1st lacrosse team won the National Schools Championships.

Boarding
Benenden is a full-boarding school and has around 540 to 550 girls. Benenden says that its boarding ethos is to complement, not replace, family life. All students live in ten boarding houses. There are six junior boarding houses (ages 11–16), consisting of Marshall, Medway, Guldeford, Echyngham, Norris and Hemsted. The senior students, in their last two years (ages 16–18), go to sixth form houses called Beeches, Elms, Limes and Oaks, which make up the sixth form centre, known as Founders. Sixth formers remain members of their junior house and take up positions of responsibility in them. Founders have 184 single study bedrooms.

Each boarding house has a housemistress or housemaster, a deputy housemistress or housemaster, a team of matrons (resident, day and evening) as well as tutors. All teaching staff and a significant number of administrative staff are house tutors. The role of the tutor is to provide individual weekly support and guidance.

Curricular activities
Applications to Benenden exceed available spots, and parents seeking to enroll their daughter often register her years in advance. Potential pupils seeking to begin boarding at 11 must pass the school's own entrance exam, while those who are 13 or older must pass the Common Entrance.

Benenden's stated aim is for its academic programme to encourage a lifelong enthusiasm for learning and discovery. The school has two main objectives: for every girl to achieve the best possible academic standards and qualifications, and for each girl to experience the maximum enjoyment in her learning. The curriculum is traditional, but also broad and forward-looking enough to provide education in its widest sense.

There is a traditional school hall where morning prayers are taken. The entire school must assemble for this every morning, except Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, at 8:30. There is also a small chapel. Occasionally, the Sunday services are taken in the village church, about 15 to 20 minutes' walk away.

Lessons at the school start at 9 am and carry on until 5:30 pm. There are six periods in the day; each lesson is one hour long. Sports practices take place during the lunch break as well as after lessons end. In addition there are two hours' worth of lessons on Saturday mornings. Younger students will take a mixture of all subjects offered, as well as sports, music and PSHE classes.

Pupils studying for their GCSEs must generally take 10 or 11 subjects, including Mathematics, Science and English and one modern language. Classes average around 13 students at GCSE, and 6–8 students during A Levels. Drama and the Arts are popular; the school's annual play has on occasion been performed in London theatres such as the Palladium (Me and My Girl; 2002). The 2007 play was Grease, held in the new theatre, completed in February 2007. Productions since then have included A Christmas Carol, Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Grimm Tales, Beauty and the Beast, Romeo and Juliet, Kiss Me Kate and Les Miserables.

The school years are known, in order, as follows: Fourths (IV), Upper Fourths (UIV), Lower Fifths (LVths), Fifths (V), Upper Fifths (UV), Six Ones (VI1) and Six Twos (VI2). Each year around 24 school prefects are nominated, called Upper Sixths. Instead of wearing the normal navy blue sixth-form uniform, they wear white- and red-striped blouses and grey jumpers. The prefects are known as "grey jumpers".

Extracurriculars

Benenden offers a range of extracurricular activities. The belief is that these lead to a more rounded education and strongly favour individualism.

Sports
Main school sports include lacrosse, rounders, karate, and tennis. Swimming is held in the Sunley Pool Leisure and Sports Hall (SPLASH), which accommodates a 250-foot pool and a gymnasium. Girls often play these at county and sometimes national levels; a current senior England lacrosse player was introduced as head of lacrosse in 2008. Other activities include hockey, fencing, badminton, volleyball, golf, riding, judo, tae kwondo, trampolining, rounders, football, aerobics, athletics, rugby sevens (Kent Girls Under-18 Champions 2009) and squash. Tours abroad are occasionally organised.

Talk:The Charlatans (English band)

Untitled
The discography section is confusing - the "Beggars Banquet" and "Universal" sections seem to overlap each other chronologically. It is also not noted when the band changed labels and under what circumstances. --jeffthejiff 18:55, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Updated and expanded the article hopefully resolving the issue about change of record labels. --User:Cavie78 11:00, 27 Oct 2005

So, my guess is that this band is known as "Charlatans U.K." because of the 1960s group known as "The Charlatans"; it'd be good to have more about that. JD79 03:01, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

 * (From The Charlatans Authorized History): Apparently the maganer for the Charlatans (UK), Steve Harrison, was pretty "pissed off" about this old band, being as they had broken up before Burgess et al. "were even toilet trained". Harisson is supposed to have remarked, that if they aren't working on anything then "they were nothing". CJ DUB 01:56, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

The original line-up, that supported The Stone Roses at Spike Island, actually didn't include Baker. Baz Ketley was the singer and guitarist. After Ketley quit the band, and Tim Burgess took over on vocals, Baker was then brought in to cover guitar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonnycigarettes (talk • contribs) as of 22:53, 22 July 2006

Tony Rogers
Removed this from the article 'cos it didn't fit but if anyone wants to slightly rewrite the section on Rogers joining to get it in here it is:

previously toured with a band called job (pronounced jobe) releasing an acclaimed album called ROSARYBEADS'N'ICECREAM with brother Don Rogers

-- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cavie78 (talk • contribs) at 05:00, 22 August 2006

Tim Burgess
Why does it say Tim Burgess (Northwich) on here but on the Tim Burgess Wikipedia page it says he's from Salford? He sounds like he's from Salford or Manchester. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.224.113.189 (talk • contribs) at 09:58, 26 February 2008
 * He's definitely from Northwich, we went to the same high school!Yellowxander (talk) 20:50, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Sanctuary
It refers to new label Sanctuary - but they only released one album and a compilation. What happened ? -- Beardo (talk) 18:58, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

This section refers to the fact that the album was produced by Jim Lowe and links to an article on a Jim Lowe. I have doubts that this is the correct Jim Lowe as I personally was a signed artist with Sanctuary Records and we used a London based engineer called Jim Lowe, a Google search suggests he has graduated to production since the days I worked with him. I suspect that is the same Jim Lowe as used by The Charlatans and not the one linked to in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drinky (talk • contribs) 02:30, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Marque or Marquee
It refers to the New York Marque which link is not relevant. Does it actually mean the Marquee club - though again, we have no article. -- Beardo (talk) 19:49, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Charlatans singles
I've notice that The Charlatans singles all have articles, with the exception of Crashin' In, which redirects to the self titled album. Most of the articles are tiny stubs with no information at all. The most surprising thing is that some of the empty articles are singles from The Charlatans more successful "Height of Britpop" era. I'm not The Charlatans biggest fan but i would like to see someone, who is a keen contributor or a follower to expand these articles to give the information they deserve, after all they were one of the greatest bands of the 90's.PhilOak (talk) 05:39, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Jon Brookes
Word spreading that drummer Jon Brookes has died. Any confirmation?AuntFlo (talk) 10:09, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Confirmed --Racklever (talk) 10:40, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Jim Spencer and Craig Silvey
The links to Wiki pages for this pair go to unrelated pages. As far as I can tell, the Jim Spencer and Craig Silvey referred to here have no articles on Wikipedia.

Would it be OK if I delink their names so it's just plain text? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prak Mann (talk • contribs) 21:23, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Type of service

The type of service (ToS) field is the second byte of the IPv4 header. It has had various purposes over the years, and has been defined in different ways by five RFCs.

Prior to the redefinition, the ToS field could specify a datagram's priority and request a route for low-latency, high-throughput, or highly-reliable service. Based on these ToS values, a packet would be placed in a prioritized outgoing queue, or take a route with appropriate latency, throughput, or reliability. In practice, the ToS field never saw widespread use outside of US Department of Defense networks. However, a great deal of experimental, research, and deployment work has focused on how to make use of these eight bits, resulting in the current DS field definition.

The modern redefinition of the ToS field (as well as the Traffic Class field in IPv6 packets) splits this byte into a 6-bit Differentiated Services (DS) field and a 2-bit Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) field. While Differentiated Services is somewhat backwards compatible with ToS, ECN is not.

History
The Type of Service field in the IP header was originally defined in RFC 791, and has been interpreted for IP Precedence and ToS ever since. The definition was largely derived from a US DoD Specification JANAP-128, which defines message precedence. It defined a mechanism for assigning a precedence to each IP packet, as well as a mechanism to request specific treatment such as high throughput, high reliability or low latency, etc. In the RFC 1349 update, the Monetary Cost bit is introduced (this bit was previously marked "Reserved for Future Use"). Section 2.4 of RFC 1583 (OSPFv2) introduces a ToS-aware routing method.

In practice, only the IP Precedence part of the field was ever used outside US DoD networks: the higher the value of the IP Precedence field, the higher the priority of the IP packet. Some US DoD networks did use the delay bit for route selection between oceanic cable paths and Satellite Communication (SATCOM) paths when both paths existed. IPv6 has never had an IPv4-like "traditional" ToS field, partially because the authors were aware of DiffServ efforts at its drafting (RFC 2460 Section 7).

In RFC 2474 the definition of this entire field was changed. It is now called the "DS" (Differentiated Services, "DiffServ") field and the upper 6 bits contain a value called the "DSCP" (Differentiated Services Code Point). The upper 3 bits of DS maintains compatibility with IP Precedence. Since RFC 3168, the remaining two bits (the two least significant bits) are used for Explicit Congestion Notification.

RFC 8622 added lower-effort (LE) DS for traffic that may be pre-empted by other traffic (best-effort traffic). It is intended for background traffic of low precedence, such as bulk data transfers with low priority in time.

Precedence and ToS
Prior to its deprecation, the Type of Service field was defined as follows from RFC 791: Precedence was a 3 bit field which treats high priority packets as more important than other packets. If a router is congested and needs to discard some packets, it will discard packets having lowest priority first. Although precedence field was part of IP version 4, it was never used.

RFC 1349 introduced an additional "lowcost" field. The four available ToS bits now becomes:

The naming here follows the convention of Unix operating systems. RFC 1349 and RFC 1060 only show examples of one bit used at a time for application-default values, although RFC 791 mentions that at most two of the three indications it has should be set nominally. One such use is known from mod_iptos.

Because the last three bits went through many definitions prior to RFC 2474 (see below), documentation and implementations may be confusing and contradictory.

DSCP and ECN
RFC 2474 (which was released in December 1998) reserved the first six bits of the DS (or IPv4 ToS) field for the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), and RFC 3168 reserved the last two bits for Explicit Congestion Notification.

DSCP defines a Class Selector (CS) naming to each value it defines, mirroring what would have been interpreted as the IP Precedence if one follows the older specification:

DSCP Nomenclature:
 * CS: Class Selector (RFC 2474)
 * AFxy: Assured Forwarding (x=class, y=drop precedence) (RFC 2597)
 * EF: Expedited Forwarding (RFC 3246)
 * LE: Lower-Effort (RFC 8622)

The above table, with individual values written out for values of the entire ToS field (not to be confused with the little-used 5-bit part):

Note: In the above table, ToS is shown in decimal format. However, many routers express ToS in hex format.

Example: mixed interpretation
Let's start with an IP precedence of 1, or  in binary. The entire ToS field would then be, assuming that the unused 5 bits are zero. The DSCP can be interpreted by resegmenting to, where   = 8 is the DSCP value, corresponding to CS1.

Software support
Although not frequently used, IP ToS definitions are widely found in  of Unix-like or Unix operating systems as   macros. The "lowcost" field is commented out in OpenBSD due to its newer use for indicating ECN support. Remnants of the old RFC 1349 terminology can be found in Transmission 2.93 as well as other tools that support setting this field.

An old Apache module "mod_iptos", once packaged in Ubuntu, notes that a way to use multiple RFC 1349 option bits together emerged after some point.

Argument-dependent name lookup

In the C++ programming language, argument-dependent lookup (ADL), or argument-dependent name lookup, applies to the lookup of an unqualified function name depending on the types of the arguments given to the function call. This behavior is also known as Koenig lookup, as it is often attributed to Andrew Koenig, though he is not its inventor.

During argument-dependent lookup, other namespaces not considered during normal lookup may be searched where the set of namespaces to be searched depends on the types of the function arguments. Specifically, the set of declarations discovered during the ADL process, and considered for resolution of the function name, is the union of the declarations found by normal lookup with the declarations found by looking in the set of namespaces associated with the types of the function arguments.

Example
An example of ADL looks like this:

Even though the main function is not in namespace NS, nor is namespace NS in scope, the function NS::f(A&, int) is found because of the declared types of the actual arguments in the function call statement.

A common pattern in the C++ Standard Library is to declare overloaded operators that will be found in this manner. For example, this simple Hello World program would not compile if it weren't for ADL: Using  is equivalent to calling   without the   qualifier. However, in this case, the overload of operator<< that works for  is in the   namespace, so ADL is required for it to be used.

The following code would work without ADL (which is applied to it anyway):

It works because the output operator for integers is a member function of the  class, which is the type of. Thus, the compiler interprets this statement as which it can resolve during normal lookup. However, consider that e.g. the  overloaded   is a non-member function in the   namespace and, thus, requires ADL for a correct lookup:

The  namespace overloaded non-member   function to handle strings is another example: As Koenig points out in a personal note, without ADL the compiler would indicate an error stating it could not find  as the statement doesn't explicitly specify that it is found in the   namespace.

Interfaces
Functions found by ADL are considered part of a class's interface. In the C++ Standard Library, several algorithms use unqualified calls to  from within the   namespace. As a result, the generic  function is used if nothing else is found, but if these algorithms are used with a third-party class, , found in another namespace that also contains  , that overload of   will be used.

Criticism
While ADL makes it practical for functions defined outside of a class to behave as if they were part of the interface of that class, it makes namespaces less strict and so can require the use of fully qualified names when they would not otherwise be needed. For example, the C++ standard library makes extensive use of unqualified calls to  to swap two values. The idea is that then one can define an own version of  in one's own namespace and it will be used within the standard library algorithms. In other words, the behavior of may or may not be the same as the behavior of (where  and   are of type  ) because if   exists, the second of the above examples will call it while the first will not. Furthermore, if for some reason both  and   are defined, then the first example will call   but the second will not compile because   would be ambiguous.

In general, over-dependence on ADL can lead to semantic problems. If one library,, expects unqualified calls to   to have one meaning and another library,   expects it to have another, then namespaces lose their utility. If, however,  expects   to have one meaning and   does likewise, then there is no conflict, but calls to   would have to be fully qualified (i.e.   as opposed to  ) lest ADL get in the way.

Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania

Blue Ridge Summit is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, United States, southwest of Gettysburg in the central part of the state, adjoining Pennsylvania's southern border with Maryland. It is less than 3 mi east of Pen Mar, Maryland. The population of Blue Ridge Summit was 887 at the 2020 census.

The community was the birthplace of Wallis Simpson, the wife of Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor (previously King Edward VIII of the United Kingdom). It is also home to one of the 15 oldest golf courses in the United States. Built before 1885, the Monterey Country Club has served as a summer retreat for many Washingtonians, and American presidents Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge and Dwight D. Eisenhower all played the Monterey Country Club course.

Geography
Blue Ridge Summit is located in the southeastern corner of Franklin County at the height of land on South Mountain, the northern extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. It is bordered to the east by Adams County, and to the south by Frederick and Washington counties in Maryland. Directly to the south are the communities of Highfield and Cascade in Maryland.

Pennsylvania Route 16 passes through Blue Ridge Summit, leading east down the mountain to Emmitsburg, Maryland, and west downhill to Waynesboro. The highway elevation at Blue Ridge Summit is 1330 ft, compared to elevations of 500 and 700 ft east and west of the mountain, respectively. Mount Dunlop, overlooking Blue Ridge Summit to the west, rises to a summit of 1700 ft. Monterey Pass is northwest and slightly downhill from the community along PA 16.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Blue Ridge Summit CDP has an area of 1.86 sqkm, all land.

History
John Howard McClellan writes about the history of the Blue Ridge Summit region in his book, Blue Ridge Summit: The Beginnings of a Resort Area:

 * After the introduction of the railroad in 1872, this area grew to become a lively and fashionable vacation community. The railroad ran to Baltimore and many of the city's elite constructed summer houses there, before the advent of air conditioning, to escape the urban heat. The region was in its hey-day at the beginning of the twentieth century. Many Washingtonians also enjoyed the resort, where several posh "boarding houses", precursors of the "Bed and Breakfast", catered to the comfort-seeking elite. It remained a resort area until its decline during the Depression of 1929 and the following years of limited travel during World War II (1939-1945).

Gettysburg Campaign
During the American Civil War, at the time of the Gettysburg Campaign of 1863, there were several cavalry skirmishes in and around Emmitsburg, Maryland - including Fountaindale, and Monterey Pass.

On June 22, the first skirmish occurred along the Monterey Mountain pass near Blue Ridge Summit. An armed civilian militia encountered a detachment of Confederates under General Albert G. Jenkins. The militia was forced to retreat after a very brief skirmish. General Jenkins and his Confederate troops withdrew toward Hagerstown, joining General Richard S. Ewell, who was advancing with a larger force.

Following the events at the Battle of Gettysburg, the Confederate Army retreated via Emmitsburg. On July 5, General J.E.B. Stuart's soldiers were engaged in some small skirmishes as he made his way back to General Robert E. Lee's army. A mountain swamp at Monterey Pass bogged down Stuart and the Army of Northern Virginia as they retreated. The Monterey Country Club sits upon 37 acre that were once part of that swamp.

Other local interest
Former Vice President of the United States Dick Cheney sometimes resided in an underground complex near Blue Ridge Summit on Raven Rock Mountain when he was said to be "at an undisclosed location" in case of an attack on the United States. The complex is most commonly called "Site R", but also Raven Rock Mountain Complex or the Alternate Joint Communications Center, created in 1951 as a command center in the event of attack on Washington, D.C.

Skandor Akbar

Jimmy Saied Wehba (September 29, 1934 – August 19, 2010) was an American professional wrestler and professional wrestling manager better known by his ring name Skandor Akbar (which translates as "Alexander the Great"). Akbar led the villainous stable Devastation, Inc. in Bill Watts's Universal Wrestling Federation during the promotion's heyday in the 1980s, as well as other regional territories, including World Class Championship Wrestling and the Global Wrestling Federation.

Early life
Wehba was born on September 29, 1934, in Wichita Falls, Texas, and grew up in Vernon, Texas. His father was from Lebanon, and his mother, Mary, was of Syrian descent, though she too was born in Texas. With two older sisters, Jimmy was the baby of the family. As a preteen, he started weightlifting (at one point he reportedly bench pressed 500 pounds) as his cousin had a gym. He also worked as a bouncer.

Wrestler
Akbar started out as a professional wrestler in 1963 as Jimmy Wehba. He changed his name to Skandor Akbar at the suggestion of Fritz Von Erich in 1966 in order to sound more Arabic. Akbar teamed with Danny Hodge and eventually turned on him, starting a feud. Akbar joined the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) for a brief run in the late 1970s and was managed by Freddie Blassie. Akbar also worked as a face in the Australian World Championship Wrestling territory for a season in the mid 1970s feuding mainly with The Great Mephisto. He wrestled his last match as a wrestler in 1996.

Manager
Akbar retired from active wrestling in 1977 and became a villainous manager in the Texas area territory. He called his stables "Akbar's Army" in Mid-South Wrestling for Bill Watts before it became UWF and "Devastation, Inc." in World Class Championship Wrestling for Fritz Von Erich and in 1991 appeared in the World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico. Akbar smoked cigars at ringside, harassed the fans during his protégés' matches, and occasionally threw fireballs at unsuspecting opponents. In 1994, Akbar briefly managed Kevin Von Erich as a fan favorite in the Global Wrestling Federation. Eventually, though, he turned on Von Erich only weeks before Von Erich decided to retire for good. Akbar also managed Toni Adams for a short time in the GWF. In 2007, he managed Kareem Sadat for All-Ammeircan Championship Wrestling in Oklahoma.

Retirement
After his semi-retirement, Akbar still made frequent appearances on the independent circuit, while also training wrestlers. He appeared on both the Heroes of World Class and Triumph and Tragedies of World Class retrospective documentaries, released in 2005 and 2007, respectively. From 2008 to 2010, he appeared as a manager in the Dallas-based Wrecking Ball Wrestling promotion. He also operated a countertop business.

Personal life
Often billed from Egypt, Lebanon, Syria or Saudi Arabia, his father actually was from Lebanon, and his mother, Mary, had Arab roots as well, though she too was born in Texas. With two older sisters, he was the youngest of the family.

Death
Wehba died on August 19, 2010, in Texas, reportedly due to complications from a fall or after a long battle with prostate cancer.

Laugh in a Half

Laugh in a Half was a Canadian comedy anthology show broadcast on CBC Radio One in 2003. Hosted by Walter Rinaldi, it was a summer replacement show for Madly Off in All Directions that ran for 13-weeks from June to late August of that year.

Each show focused on a particular topic, such as "pioneers of comedy", "British comedy" or "comedy duos", and then played well-known comedy skits from various performers on that theme. Over the course of the series the show played pieces by famous British, American and Canadian comedians, including Abbott and Costello, Monty Python and The Frantics.

List of German Texans

German Texans have historically played a role in history of the U.S. state of Texas.

Texans of German birth or descent have, since the mid-19th century, made up one of the largest ethnic groups in the state. By 1850, they numbered 5% of the total population—a conservative count. The 1990 census listed more than 17% of the population, nearly three million individuals, claiming German heritage.

Aleph kernel

Aleph is a discontinued operating system kernel developed at the University of Rochester as part of their Rochester's Intelligent Gateway (RIG) project in 1975. Aleph was an early step on the road to the creation of the first practical microkernel operating system, Mach.

Aleph used inter-process communications to move data between programs and the kernel, so applications could transparently access resources on any machine on the local area network (which at the time was a 3-Mbit/s experimental Xerox Ethernet). The project eventually petered out after several years due to rapid changes in the computer hardware market, but the ideas led to the creation of Accent at Carnegie Mellon University, leading in turn to Mach.

Applications written for the RIG system communicated via ports. Ports were essentially message queues that were maintained by the Aleph kernel, identified by a machine unique (as opposed to globally unique) ID consisting of a process id, port id pair. Processes were automatically assigned a process number, or pid, on startup, and could then ask the kernel to open ports. Processes could open several ports and then "read" them, automatically blocking and allowing other programs to run until data arrived. Processes could also "shadow" another, receiving a copy of every message sent to the one it was shadowing. Similarly, programs could "interpose" on another, receiving messages and essentially cutting the original message out of the conversation.

RIG was implemented on a number of Data General Eclipse minicomputers. The ports were implemented using memory buffers, limited to 2 kB in size. This produced significant overhead when copying large amounts of data. Another problem, realized only in retrospect, was that the use of global ID's allowed malicious software to "guess" at ports and thereby gain access to resources they should not have had. And since those IDs were based on the program ID, the port IDs changed if the program was restarted, making it difficult to write servers with clients that could rely on a specific port number for service.

San Andres Mountains

The San Andres Mountains are a mountain range in the southwestern U.S. state of New Mexico, in the counties of Socorro, Sierra, and Doña Ana. The range extends about 75 mi north to south, but are only about 12 mi wide at their widest. The highest peak in the San Andres Mountains is Salinas Peak, at 8,965 ft.

Geography
Though nearly contiguous with the Organ Mountains to the south, separated by St. Augustine Pass (elevation 1717 m) and U.S. Highway 70, the two are very distinct geologically and botanically. The Oscura Mountains to the north are separated from the San Andres Mountains by Mockingbird Gap (elevation 1631 m) and the much lower Little Burro Mountains. The San Andres Mountains are comparatively dry and do not support extensive woodlands. They are mostly closed to the public, lying almost entirely within the restricted White Sands Missile Range.

Geology
The San Andres Mountains form part of the eastern edge of the rift valley of the Rio Grande, and are made up of west-dipping fault blocks made primarily of San Andres Formation limestone, but also with extensive exposures of reddish Abo Formation sandstone on the western side, and quartz monzonite on the eastern side. Gypsum deposits washed from these mountains are the main source of the dunes in White Sands National Park.

Significant summits include:

Desert bighorn sheep
The biggest and best desert bighorn sheep habitat in New Mexico is in the San Andres Mountains, which can host up to 400 bighorn. An area of 57215 acre in the southern portion of the San Andres Mountain range was set aside in 1941 as the San Andres National Wildlife Refuge to help preserve the desert bighorn sheep, which at the time numbered 33. In the mid-1970s there were around 200 sheep in the refuge; however, in 1979, a scabies mite epizootic reduced the population from 200 to 75. Subsequent years brought further declines from scabies and other causes until the population consisted of one ewe in 1997. Reintroduction of desert bighorn sheep occurred in 2002 and the herd has now about 80 members.

Half-Life 2
I wanted to get this looked at by others before I nominate for the FAC. I think it is well developed and would like some feedback. Thunderbrand 19:04, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

 * a) it's slightly too long; given that it's heading for FA, and will probably be expanded according to people's requests, it's definitely the time to start thinking about ways to reduce length; be careful with wording, remove any repetition (I couldn't find much unfortunately) b) there are many statements which could do with clear sourcing, consider a system of inline references such as footnotes or invisible notes. c) there are "some players" which would be better attributed to specific players (or "some players such as Jeff Jones  ") d) read carefully the style guides about langage; some of it needs to be tightened up.  Mozzerati 21:21, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC)
 * It's kind of funny, actually. A bunch of us got together and talked about how to trim down the article. We got rid of some stuff like the weapons and enemies. I'll try to throw in some sources. Thunderbrand 23:00, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree about the length issue. As is, the amount of detail is a bit excessive for an article about a single version in a series of games. Move the detail the daughter articles if you must, but this article needs a more compact treatment, IMO. --mav 00:32, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, we got it shortened up a lot more. It is much more managable now. Thunderbrand 19:28, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

 * Its a good article, nicely written. however, there seems to be several irrelevant things mentioned in the article.  I don't see the need for a list of the deathmatch maps for the game.  It seems to be a very minor detail that takes up alot of space.  Also, in the post-release controversies, several facts mentioned don't seem at all important. "Reports of auto-save crashes and audio stuttering from some users. Patches have been..." is a minor bug that didn't affect everyone and has since been fixed. "An update released on November 30, 2004, which inadvertently prevented scores.." barely affected people for a day before it was fixed.  At the same time I feel the article is missing information about the game's critical praise. Alot is said about plot holes, complaints by players and the game's technical problems and little is said about why the game is considered good.  Other missing information is how well the game has sold. MechBrowman 17:27, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I guess they aren't really as important now, but I think it's worth mentioning it, and since most of it was moved to a new page to free up space, it doesn't really bother me. As for the sales figures, the only info I can find is the amount that they sold from Nov-Jan, which is 1.7 million, not including Steam. Valve hasn't released any new info recently, though. And finally, the article mentins "plot holes", right under the chapters section entitled "Notes". Thunderbrand 20:55, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

User operation prohibition

The user operation prohibition (abbreviated UOP) is a form of use restriction used on video DVD discs and Blu-ray discs. Most DVD players and Blu-ray players prohibit the viewer from performing a large majority of actions during sections of a DVD that are protected or restricted by this feature, and will display the no symbol or a message to that effect if any of these actions are attempted. It is used mainly for copyright notices or warnings, such as an FBI warning in the United States, and "protected" (i.e., unskippable) commercials.

Countermeasures
Some DVD players ignore the UOP flag, allowing the user full control over DVD playback. Virtually all players that are not purpose-built DVD player hardware (for example, a player program running on a general purpose computer) ignore the flag. There are also modchips available for some standard DVD players for the same purpose. The UOP flag can be removed in DVD ripper software such as: DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink, AnyDVD, AVS Video Converter, Digiarty WinX DVD Ripper Platinum, MacTheRipper, HandBrake and K9Copy. On many DVD players, pressing stop-stop-play will cause the DVD player to play the movie immediately, ignoring any UOP flags that would otherwise make advertisements, piracy warnings or trailers unskippable.

Nevertheless, removing UOP does not always provide navigation function in the restricted parts of the DVD. This is because those parts are sometimes lacking the navigation commands which allow skipping to the menu or other parts of the DVD. This has become more common in recent titles, in order to circumvent the UOP disabling that many applications or DVD players offer.

Newer DVD players (i.e. post-c. late 2010) have, however, been designed to override the aforementioned counter-countermeasures. The DVD reader software inside the DVD player automatically generates chapters for parts of the DVD lacking navigation commands, allowing them to be fast-forwarded or skipped; pressing the menu button, even in these previously restricted sections, will cause a jump to the main menu.

User:Captmondo

Captmondo
A late-50's-ish guy living in London, Ontario, in Southern Ontario.

I work as a Senior Manager for Technical Documentation at a certain semiconductor firm, and have long been an expert in the Darwin Information Typing Architecture. I am also a published author of four computer-oriented titles (a couple of books on HTML and then another two on CSS). More recently I have contributed a chapter on the development and spread of DITA to an academic book on technical writing. I have also been a long-time lecturer on Information Architecture at the University of Toronto's School for Continuing Studies. I hold degrees in English and a Masters of Public Administration, all from Queen's University, Kingston. Other than a brief stint with the Federal government in the early 90s, I have worked primarily in the technology sector. I also worked on one of the earliest Canadian commercial Web sites in the early 90s (Delrina).

I have been a contributor to articles relating to the subject of Ancient Egypt, which has long been a hobby of mine. I am also interested in Canadian numismatics, which is woefully under-represented here on Wikipedia, and something I plan to work on. I also have interests in Astronomy, History, specifically Canadian, Torontonian, Roman, British and British Commonwealth, as well as the history of language and science.

Of late I have decided to turn my attention to Canadian numismatics and pre-Confederation tokens, an area that only had a few stub articles on the subject before I started making additions.

I am also an avid photographer and like making additions to Wikimedia Commons. My current cameras of choice are a Olympus PEN E-PL5 and my trusty Olympus E-620 DSLRs. Whenever I go on business trips, if there is something I can take a few pics of in order to help illustrate an article for Wikipedia, I'll bring my camera along and deliberately take a few photos in order to help out. A gallery of the images I have shot and uploaded can be found here:. Chances are that if I am not making contributions here in the English Wikipedia, I am working on something in Wikimedia Commons.

Hey
I just noticed your vote for me in the Arbcom elections (and thank you for voting). You are the same Chuck Carroll who went as "Down with 815!" for several weeks some years back, no? If so, hi! Kelly Martin (talk) 15:36, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for adding the semicolon to my edit of omnipotence paradox! Just what it needed. (Now that I see your change I do recall a vague feeling of unease. Next time I'll pay more attention.) --kop 23:37, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

What's new?
Hey there!

Hope all's well. I wanted to find out what's the latest with your pet peeve regarding misinformation the Project. Perhaps there's something I can help with... --Folajimi 13:53, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

 * What about misinformation that keeps getting repeated? Like "warmer air holds more water" in humidity ad related articles?  I too believed the same thing until I really dug into the nerdpages out there.  And unfortunately, pages like Solar Power get copied by many other wikis and answers.com, complete with the errors and sometimes with the (needs citation) tag! 82.93.133.130 12:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Tips of the day
Somewhere I found you said the following:
 * When editing a Wikipedia article, the easiest way to insert special characters is clicking on the special character in the box below the "Save page/Show preview/Show changes" buttons. More generally, on a Windows machine, you can enter special characters by using the Alt code for that character: hold down the Alt button while typing the correct number on the keypad (must be the keypad, with "Num Lock" on, not the digit keys above the letters): e" is Alt-0235, and o^ is Alt-0244.  You can also insert special characters--as well as find out the Alt codes for characters that have them, at Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Character Map. Chuck 14:59, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Which is a really helpful tips, especially the Alt code part, since I often found the box provided in wikipedia to contain too much characters and I always have to spend quite some time finding the location of the character I want. I've searched the tips of the day and it seems this havn't been mentioned. Maybe you could add this tip at Wikipedia_talk:Tip_of_the_day. Thanks. --Lemontea 02:52, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Man I wish a laptop running Linux could do the same thing (without finding obscure Italian code and recompiling endlessly : ) 82.93.133.130 12:24, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Collection of long-lived misinformation in Wikipedia
I would have known that two of the "facts" were wrong off the top of my head - chromates and palindrome. I have an excellent science background and my ACT results were quite high many years ago.

2008 Indy 500
Great work on the quals chrono, if I recall, you did it last year too. Seems the 2008 Indianapolis 500 page has been thwarted by a Wiki "stick-in-the-mud" who has nothing better to do than criticize other people's pages and other people's hard work. A quick check shows he's never even made the first edit on the page. I've tried making the case. Thanks. Doctorindy (talk) 01:49, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Location (talk) 19:22, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Re: RHR in the 41
At the time of reverting, there were no major (indycar.com, IndyStar etc.) sources having had reported the switch, and one source even stated "the move is subject to approval by IndyCar" and that it "will be filed on Tuesday". So, at the time, yes there were no reliable sources concretely stating the fact, hence my comment saying to wait for an official starting grid to deter others from making the changes based on - at the time - ill-reliable sources.

Nicholas Stryk

Nicholas John Stryk (December 17, 1896 in the Austro-Hungarian Empire – July 11, 1950 ) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Liberal-Progressive from 1941 to 1945, and again from 1949 until 1950.

Stryk was born to John Stryk and Katherine Steslimb in Austria-Hungary, and came to Canada in 1899. He was educated in Manitoba, and worked as a school teacher in Ladywood for twenty-six years. He was fluent in both English and Ukrainian. In 1921, he became a Notary Public and Commissioner.

He sought election to the House of Commons of Canada in the federal election of 1935 as a Liberal-Progressive, but finished third in Springfield against official Liberal candidate John Mouat Turner.

He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1941 provincial election, defeating CCF incumbent Herbert Sulkers by almost one thousand votes in the constituency of St. Clements. He served as a government backbencher in the parliament which followed.

Stryk sought re-election in the 1945 provincial election, but lost to CCF candidate Wilbert Doneleyko by 220 votes. Donelyko was later expelled from the CCF caucus for promoting anti-NATO views, and Stryk defeated him without difficulty in the 1949 election to return to the legislature.

He again served as a government backbencher, and died in office the following year. Stryk was in an ambulance on its way to Beausejour at the time of his death. He had been married to Elizabeth Neyedly just two months earlier.
