BAC Strikemaster

The BAC 167 Strikemaster is a British jet-powered training and light attack aircraft. It was a development of the Hunting Jet Provost trainer, itself a jet engined version of the Percival Provost, which originally flew in 1950 with a radial piston engine.

Design and development
The BAC 167 Strikemaster is essentially an armed version of the Jet Provost T Mk 5; the Strikemaster was modified with an uprated engine, wing hardpoints capable of carrying four 500 pound Mk82 bombs, two machine guns under the intakes, uprated flap system with two jacks, larger airbrake jacks, new communication and navigation gear, different electrical system, canopy breakers on the ejection seats, and a revised fuel system including tip tanks on the wing tips. First flown in 1967, the aircraft was marketed as a light attack or counter-insurgency aircraft, but most large-scale purchasers were air forces wanting an advanced trainer, although Ecuador, Oman and Yemen have used their aircraft in combat. A total of 146 were built.

Operational history
The Strikemaster was capable of operating from rough air strips, with dual ejection seats suitable even for low-altitude escape, and it was therefore widely used by third-world nations. Operations by the type were restricted by most military users after the Royal New Zealand Air Force found fatigue cracking in the wings of its aircraft. Many aircraft retired by Botswana, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia and Singapore are in museums and private collections.

The Strikemaster was deployed by the Royal Air Force of Oman on several occasions during the Dhofar Rebellion, including a notable appearance providing Close Air Support during the Battle of Mirbat. Three Strikemasters were shot down over the course of the war, including one lost to an SA-7 missile.

The Ecuadorian Air Force deployed the Strikemaster during the brief 1995 Cenepa War, flying ground sorties against Peruvian positions. An Ecuadorian Strikemaster crashed during a training mission in the Northern Border area, near Colombia, on 25 March 2009. Both pilots ejected; one later died of injuries received during the rescue attempt.

Employer of last resort

Employers of last resort (ELR) are employers in an economy to whom workers go for jobs when no other jobs are available; the term is by analogy with "lender of last resort". The phrase is used in two senses: The sense of a job guarantee program is used and advocated by some schools of Post-Keynesian economists, notably by authors of Modern Monetary Theory at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, the Levy Economics Institute (both United States) and in the Centre of Full Employment and Equity (Australia), who advocate it as a solution for unemployment.
 * undesirable jobs, often private sector, which are only taken as a last resort;
 * a formal government job guarantee program, where the government promises to act as employer of last resort, employing all comers.

Use
Colloquially, this may refer to work which is undesirable to most people or pays poorly – for instance, in the United States economy, many fast-food and retail industry jobs represent last-resort employment for many workers.

In economics, the phrase often refers to employers which can hire workers when no other employers are hiring. Their presence may soften the negative impact on employment of downturns in the business cycle. One example of such a program would be the Civilian Conservation Corps, a government agency intended to provide work to young, unemployed men. Military Keynesianism argues that the military can act as an employer of last resort.

Proposals
A scheme was proposed by the Urban Coalition in the mid-1960s and received some support in the US Senate but was opposed by Lyndon B. Johnson.

More recently L. Randall Wray suggested a proposal for the US where workers would be subject to federal work rules, jobs would be tailored to individuals' existing skills, and the US Labor Department would assess proposals for employment and keep a central register; he estimated a total cost of 1–2% of the US's GDP. Marshall Auerback suggested the government hire all unemployed workers, paying close to the minimum wage.

Criticisms
Marshall Auerback mentioned a number of flaws which his proposal attempted to get around. Such a scheme might have an effect on wages for existing jobs. It would also potentially require a large and expensive state bureaucracy to administer.

Examples
On April 3, 2002 Argentina signed into law the social program Jefes y Jefas de Hogar Desempleados. It acts as an employer of last resort for heads of household who are unemployed and unable to find work.

Talk:Japanese beetle

Minor Edits
Added useful links throughout the page and made minor grammatical change, but no major changes.Luisss79 (talk) 19:21, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Hand picking Japanese beetles
Japanese beetles have a tendency to drop off the leaves if you approach them. I have a small bucket of water that I hold under the leaves where they are eating. As I put my hand over the leaves, they have a tendency to drop off, right into the bucket. I have captured over 10,000 beetles in a single year this way, but if you do so repeatedly, twice daily, the numbers go down each succeeding year. They will swim in the water for almost 24 hours before dying, so, to make the process more humane, I initially added a few drops of soap, which kills them within minutes. Then I found out that my chickens loved them, so I stopped adding soap to the water and simply fed them to my chickens. Free food! I hate Japanese beetles!! An old joke about the traps - put them in your neighbor's yard. 2601:5CC:4503:1D0:D9B4:1445:37B:A316 (talk) 12:56, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Mating Behavior
This entry would benefit from including a section about mating behavior as there seems to only be a focus on reproduction so far 2600:6C40:1F0:A0F0:8983:F43A:5FDE:6668 (talk) 22:02, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

The entry on the Japanese beetle offers a comprehensive overview of this notorious insect, covering taxonomy, distribution, habitat, behavior, and control measures. Despite its thoroughness, there are notable gaps in behavioral information, particularly regarding social activity, mating behavior, and parental care. Addressing these areas would enhance our understanding of the beetle's reproductive strategies and population dynamics, contributing to more effective pest management strategies. Abeer.hreedeen (talk • contribs) 02:34, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Predators and Pathogens
This entry should add categories on the enemies of this organism including this species’ predators and pathogens because this entry mentions both factors yet does not have them as their own separate categories. Gbuml (talk) 03:35, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Review on Japanese Beetles Wiki15Feb
The Japanese beetle article gives a thorough description about the Japanese beetle, such as its taxonomy, global distribution, life cycle, control methods, and host plants. The entry also discusses research studies and findings on the effectiveness of traps, biological control methods, and use of microsporidian pathogens, which gives credibility on the information. The most interesting part of the article is learning about the behavioral mechanisms of the beetles. The beetles use pheromones to attract other beetles, and these chemical signals play a role in interactions between beetles and shaping population dynamics within its ecosystem.

The missing categories in the article are feeding behavior, reproductive behavior, and social behavior. Mentioning Japanese beetle’s feeding behavior is important because it discusses about their ecological influence. Adding feeding behavior on host plants to the article would help readers understand the beetle’s ecological role in plant communities and influence population dynamics. Mentioning reproductive behavior, such as mating methods and selection and factors regarding reproductive success, is needed to learn about the evolutionary adaptations of these beetles and their ecological impact in breeding habitats. Mentioning social behavior, such as feeding and mating, gives awareness on ecological dynamics of Japanese beetle populations.

This article hits and misses the mark for some of the criteria for a Good Wiki Article. For the Illustrated section, there are images of Japanese beetles, its life cycle, eggs, pupa, map of its location, etc. These media are corrected tagged, relevant to the topic, and have acceptable captions. However, for the Broad in its Coverage section, the article does not discuss behavioral categories of feeding, reproductive, and social behavior, which makes the article lack information on the main behavioral concepts.

In the talk page, a person shares a practical way for managing Japanese beetles by hand-picking them off leaves and collecting them in a bucket of water. This method allows the person to catch 10,000 beetles in one year. The user also mentions that the beetles were fed to the chickens. The comment gives important insights into alternative ways for pest control and describes the ecological benefits of using natural predators such as chickens, not chemical pesticides.

The article is rated as High-importance on the project’s importance scale because the subject is extremely notable, but may not have achieved international recognition or only notable in a certain continent. This rating makes sense because the Japanese beetle is an important pest specifies in North America and has economic and ecological influence on agriculture and ecosystems. The article is also rated as C-class on Wikipedia’s content assessment scale. This rating makes sense because the article does not adequately cover certain behavioral aspects of the beetle such its mating behavior and communication signals. If these aspects are not fully addressed, the article would be considered incomplete for its content on the beetle’s behavior. JKatieWiki8Feb (talk) 04:30, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Edits
I've recently made some revisions to the Wikipedia page on Japanese beetles to enhance its comprehensiveness and accuracy. Drawing from a variety of reputable scientific sources, I've expanded the content to cover additional aspects of Japanese beetle biology, behavior, and ecological interactions. These additions aim to provide readers with a more thorough understanding of the topic while ensuring that the information presented is well-supported and scientifically grounded. In addition, I've included a list of credible sources for additional reading and verification of the facts offered in the essay. I've also included some pictures to make reading about this insect more fascinating. I have included in-depth explanations on various areas. Abeer.hreedeen (talk • contribs) — Preceding undated comment added 06:06, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Just noting for a second time now that the edits were removed twice due to WP:NOTESSAY issues, especially for things like Japanese beetles belong to the Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Arthropoda, Class Insecta, Order Coleoptera, and Family Scarabaeidae. After the comments in sections below, this student should not have bee mass reinserting the content. I can try to see what may be useful at a later time to include, but for now the edits are removed to maintain the stable version of the article. KoA (talk) 18:49, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Peer Edit
I thought the article was written well. It was very thorough and detailed in its information. I added some additional links to technical terms and geographical regions for convenience and consistency. I also made subsequent references to species names more consistent. I also added several subsection headings and changed the style of old subsection headings for better organization and breaking up of the information. I would suggest reordering the sections to better conform to topic order guidelines for beetles, but I did not want to go ahead and do it as this would heavily change the informational progression of the article, meaning that the writing would need to be changed too. Owen Guo (talk) 06:45, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Revisions
This article needs significant revisions. This does not meet the criteria for a wikipedia article and reads more like a persuasive essay as to why this beetle species is interesting. There are so many run-on and wordy sentences that much of the writing is difficult to follow. Much of the information is incredibly redundant and repeated in different sections just with different phrasing. There are many times when "research" vaguely is mentioned without any examples, supporting evidence, or citations. This article is also very opinionated, with many phrases about why this beetle is important to learn about. 2600:6C40:1F0:A0F0:2978:3A3A:709E:7C6 (talk) 02:13, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Peer review
This article is quite short and does not contain much information on the Japanese beetle outside of geographic distribution and methods of pest control. The lack of content on the page is likely due to another editor removing more than half of the document due to issues discussed previously on the talk page. The student involved in previously adding to the article should reuse the same academic sources but present the information in a neutral tone. I’m sure that the sources have valuable information that is appropriate for Wikipedia. I went ahead and added a source for the naming of the beetle and fixed some grammatical errors I found.

 * Look dude. The web-site's name doguturkistan.net translates into "eastturkistan.net" - East Turkistan is in China. Extremist web-sites cannot be cited to give the impression that it is a hundred percent confirmed fact. All I am saying is that it would be better if we could use some impartial books on the Cyprus issue as sources. Eastturkistan.net has nothing to do with this, they could be simply trying to "recuparate" political points by connecting itself with TMT. I am not saying they did or didn't use any particular symbol, but you cannot simply say "ultra-nationalist pan-turkist" where as the EOKA-B article, an organization that was recognized as terrorist not only by TR but also UK, has this for the intro "EOKA-B was a Greek Cypriot right-wing pro-enosis paramilitary organisation formed in 1971 that ..." See the difference in tone? That's all.. Baristarim 18:43, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Nihat İlhan
Claims such as this about the incident involving Nihat İlhan should under no circumstances be re-inserted to this page as it constitutes a severe violation of WP:BLP. Quoting from the policy, "Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion", and a claim that originates from a journalist with "an interview with journalist Ahmet Baran" is hearsay and by no means a reliable and authoritative source, and such extraordinary claims require extraordinary sources to merit inclusion. Who is Ahmet Baran, how did he come to know about this and what is his degree of investigation/involvement with the incident? If this was a claim that was made in a number of publications from respected publishing houses with a solid justification, only then it could be included in the article. It does not matter if any other people repeat the same claims, inserting an unsubstantiated claim that a living person committed such an act is out of question, unless the case is as stated above. It must be noted that this is also a very sensitive topic and bringing such claims without due grounds also brings about issues of undue weight. Please do not re-instate the content. --GGT (talk) 15:51, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Rauf Denktas and Zafer Kibrisli Turkeridir
On 13 September 2014, added two paragraphs- his only contribution to en.Wikipedia so far. The first paragaph states something incorrect. I can't verify what is said in the second paragraph and I would kindly ask if someone could offer some help.
 * At the first paragraph, is stated that R. Denktas admitts that TMT was responsible for the bomb, even though he never mentions TMT. Instead he names a friend, whose name won't reviel that placed the bomb. Most probable he was a member of TMT but that is just my assumtion. Denktas was clever enough not to blame the TMT.
 * At the second paragraph, an article in an unknown -at least to me-Turkish Cypriot newspaper is cited . I have never heard of it before, and if someone could do some backround check, I 'd appriciate.Τζερόνυμο (talk) 10:59, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your attention. You are absolutely right - in addition, we have to consider WP:PRIMARY as well. We cannot have a YouTube video as a source for such a topic, at least a newspaper article or preferably an academic source is required. This topic is covered by a couple of other sources, although none definitively implicate the TMT - see the article on Bayraktar Mosque.
 * There is no newspaper called "Zafer Kıbrıslı Türklerindir". There was one called "Zafer" published in the period . However, I don't think that "Zafer Kıbrıslı Türklerindir" is an alternative name for that. Furthermore, considering the political environment at the time, I find the supposed headline very improbable and the whole statement very dubious; it has been tagged to request verification for some time now anyway. Questions of WP:PRIMARY apply anyway - such murders can and should be described using better sources. As such, it would be more appropriate for this sentence to be removed or replaced. --GGT (talk) 00:48, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

"In Reality No One Was Asleep" by Ismael Tansu
Why is there no mention here of one of the most important sources on the history of the TMT--the book by Ismael Tansu. Tansu worked for the STK (Seferberlik Taktik Kurulu [Tactical Mobilization Committee]) in Turkey, under Brigadier General Daniş Karabelen. In his book he describes how he created the "Plan for Recapturing Cyprus" [Kıbrıs İstirdat Planı] which involved the creation of a “special warfare” organisation that would utilise the Turkish Cypriot population of Cyprus, but be led by Turkish army officers.

Alluaudia procera

Alluaudia procera, or Madagascar ocotillo, is a deciduous succulent plant species of the family Didiereaceae. It is endemic to south Madagascar.

Description
This plant is a spiny succulent shrub, with thick water-storing stems and leaves that are deciduous in the long dry season. Although strikingly similar in appearance, it is not closely related to the ocotillo, Fouquieria splendens of the Sonoran Deserts in North America.

Young alluaudias form a tangle of stems that last for several years, after which a strong central stem develops. The basal stems then die out, leaving a tree-like stem that branches higher up on the main trunk.

Like other members of family Didiereaceae, the leaves of Alluaudia, produced from brachyblasts similar to the areoles found in cacti, are small, appear single and are accompanied with conical spines. Its flowers are unisexual and radially symmetric.

Taxonomy
The Didiereaceae comprise 11 species divided into 4 genera, of which the largest is Alluaudia (six species). Alluaudia has been subdivided into the 2 sections Alluaudia and Androyella. In this way, Alluaudia procera has two sisters, Alluaudia ascendens and Alluaudia montagnacii.

Based on molecular phylogeny conducted Alluaudia, Alluaudiopsis, and Didierea from the family are all supported as monophyletic. Relationships within the genus Alluaudia are relevant to the evolution of polyploidy within the family.

Researchers haven't figured out where the family Didiereaceae originates. However, the nearest relative of the Didiereaceae, Calyptrotheca somalensis, is endemic to East Africa, from which the island of Madagascar separated 100 million years ago. Thus, the Didiereaceae may have originated from the dispersal to Madagascar of a Calyptrotheca-like East African ancestor.

Evergreen Group

The Evergreen Group is the organizational designation used by a Taiwan-based conglomerate of shipping, transportation, and associated service companies. The Evergreen Group arose in 1975 from the diversification of the original Evergreen Marine Corporation, which was established in 1968 and currently operates as the world's third largest containerized-freight shipping company. Today, the Evergreen Group encompasses the Evergreen Marine Corporation, Evergreen International Corporation, EVA Air, Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation, Evergreen Air Services Corporation, Evergreen Air Cargo Services Corporation, and Evergreen International Storage and Services Corporation. Additional divisions and subsidiaries exist within several Evergreen Group companies, such as Uniglory Shipping Corporation and Uni Air.

Evergreen Marine Corporation

Evergreen Marine is the third-largest containerized shipping company in the world, with a fleet of over 165 ships calling on 240 ports worldwide in about 80 countries. Evergreen Marine Corporation includes subsidiaries/divisions Uniglory Shipping Corporation, Hatsu Marine Ltd., and Italia Marittima S.p.A.

In 2021, the Ever Given container ship was stranded for nearly a week in the Suez Canal and caused a major obstruction that interrupted international maritime trade.

Evergreen Steel Corporation
Evergreen Steel Corporation's main business activities include manufacturing and assembly of steel structures and maintenance and repair of shipping containers. In the past, it was also involved in shipbuilding, and built a number of ships.

History
The predecessor of Evergreen Steel Corporation, named Kaolun Industrial Corporation at the time, was founded in 1973, and renamed to Ever Master Industrial Corporation in 1982. Another predecessor, Ever Valor Industrial Corporation, started operations in 1984. The two companies merged (under the older company's name) year after, in 1985, and the merged entity was renamed Evergreen Heavy Industrial Corporation in 1987.

The company underwent further mergers (with Evergreen Superalloy Corporation in 1990, Ever Pioneer Steel Corporation in 1998, Green Steel Structure Corporation in 2009), acquired equities of its subsidiaries (of Super Max Engineering Corporation in 1997, of Hsin Yung Enterprise Corporation in 1998, of Mingyu Investment Corporation and Green Steel Structure Corporation in 2000, of Ever Ecove Corporation in 2018), and was further renamed numerous times (to Evergreen Development & Network Technology Corporation in 2000, to Evergreen Development Corporation in 2001, to Evergreen Steel Corporation in 2011).

It went public in 2019, and was listed on Emerging Stock Board of Taipei Exchange in 2020 and on TWSE in 2021.

Evergreen International Corporation
Evergreen International Corporation includes Evergreen International Hotels, which operates the chain of Evergreen hotels and resorts worldwide, a Cultural Development Division, and the Evergreen Symphonic Orchestra.

Evergreen International Hotels
The largest division of the Evergreen International Corporation is Evergreen International Hotels, which operate nine hotels in Taiwan, China, Thailand, Malaysia, and France.

EVA Air
EVA Air is the international airline of Evergreen Group, operating regular flights to over 40 destinations worldwide. EVA Air features full passenger and dedicated cargo operations to North America, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. The parent company of EVA Air, EVA Airways Corporation, has links with the Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation, Evergreen Air Services Corporation, and Evergreen Air Cargo Services Corporation.

UNI Air
EVA Air's domestic and regional subsidiary is Uni Air, operating a network of intra-Taiwan routes and flights to several international destinations in the Southeast Asian region.

Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation
In 1998, Evergreen Group's EVA Air partnered with General Electric to form the Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation (EGAT), a heavy maintenance and aircraft overhaul service. EGAT provides safety, repair, and refit services for EVA Air and other airlines' aircraft. In 2006, Boeing awarded EGAT an exclusive contract to convert four Boeing 747-400 aircraft into ultra-large Boeing 747 Large Cargo Freighter Dreamlifters for the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner program.

In 2020, EGAT announced that they would be segmenting into two distinct units with EGAT MRO to handle EGAT's maintenance, repair and operations business and EGAT FAB to handle EGAT's components fabrication business.

Evergreen Air Services Corporation
Evergreen Air Services Corporation provides logistical and material support in the airline industry.

Evergreen Air Cargo Services Corporation
Evergreen Air Cargo Services Corporation provides logistical and material support in the air cargo industry.

History
Dr. Chang Yung-fa, Chairman of the Evergreen Group, was born in Taiwan in 1927. After graduating from Taipei Commercial High School at the age of 18, he went to work in the Taipei office of a Japanese shipping line.

After World War II, he joined the seagoing staff of a local shipping company as 3rd officer. His subsequent career was spent with various local companies and he progressed smoothly through the ranks to 2nd officer, chief officer and eventually to captain.

Foundation of Evergreen Marine Corporation
In 1961, Chang and others established a shipping company; he branched out on his own by establishing Evergreen Marine Corporation on September 1, 1968, with just one secondhand 15,000 dwt vessel, Central Trust.

Over the next four years, Chang built his fleet up to 12 vessels. Within a year, he had expanded to the Middle East. Within three, Chang was dispatching Evergreen ships to the Caribbean.

Back in 1975, Chang realized that containerisation was the way forward. He built four advanced S-type container ships and launched his US East Coast service, adding the US West Coast fifteen months later. Europe followed in 1979.

By 1984, he started his most ambitious service yet – two 80-day round-the-world services, one circling the globe in an easterly direction, the other westward. Departing every 10 days, the 20 G-type container ships he employed had a capacity of 2,728 containers each and could travel at a speed of 20.5 knots.

Expansion and formation of Evergreen Group
The Evergreen Group has expanded beyond the shipping industry to encompass operations in energy development, air transport, hotels and resort services. The country's first private international airline, EVA Airways Corporation, was established on March 8, 1989, and on July 1, 1991, formally inaugurated its first flight and began a new era of national commercial aviation.

In line with the development of its airline industry, Evergreen has become the first Taiwanese enterprise to gain a worldwide foothold in the hotel industry.

In 1998, Evergreen purchased the Italian shipping line Lloyd Triestino renaming as Italia Marittima S.p.A. on 1 March 2006, thus providing it with a firm foothold in the European Union. It consolidated this position in 2002 with the establishment of Hatsu Marine in London, a UK-flag shipping company that today operates some of the largest and most sophisticated vessels in the Evergreen Group fleet. The Evergreen Group, with over 18,000 employees and more than 240 offices/agents worldwide, now comprises over 50 major corporations worldwide, three of which are listed on the Taipei Stock Exchange.

In 2006, the Kuomintang sold its former headquarters to Evergreen Group for $2.3 billion New Taiwan dollars (96 million United States dollars). In 2010, Evergreen Group announced that it would buy 10 ships each from Samsung Heavy Industries and CSBC Corporation as part of an ambitious plan to double its current fleet of 81 ships.

Omnibus progression

The omnibus progression in music is a chord progression characterized by chromatic lines moving in opposite directions. The progression has its origins in the various Baroque harmonizations of the descending chromatic fourth in the bass ostinato pattern of passacaglia, known as the "lament bass". However, in its fullest form the omnibus progression involves a descent in the bass which traverses a whole octave and includes every note of the chromatic scale. It may also include one or more chromatic ascending tetrachords in the soprano, tenor and alto.

They are also known as "chromatic wedge progressions", in reference to their wedge-like appearance in score. The origin of the term "omnibus" (Latin: "for all") to describe such a sequence is unclear, but it is of note that the chord progression encompasses all of the notes in the chromatic scale.

A simple example
The following example is in C major. The lowest part is a "lament bass" that descends from the tonic to the dominant using chromatic passing tones before returning at the end up to the tonic in a perfect cadence. The upper voice moves in the opposite direction from the dominant note up to the tonic. The chord names are given, followed where necessary by the inversion in figured bass. For example, 'Cm$4 6$' refers to a C minor triad in second inversion, and G$2 4$ is a G dominant seventh in third inversion.

A more extended treatment of this version of the omnibus could be:

 * {|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"

 * C || G$5 6$ || B♭7 || Dm$4 6$ || B♭$2 4$ || G7 || Bm$4 6$ || G$2 4$
 * width="35px"| E7 ||width="35px"| G♯m$4 6$ ||width="35px"| E$2 4$ ||width="35px"| C♯7 ||width="35px"| Fm$4 6$ ||width="35px"| C♯$2 4$ ||width="35px"| B♭7|| width="35px" | Dm$4 6$ ||width="35px"| B♭$2 4$ ||width="35px"| G7 ||width="35px"| C
 * }
 * }

For the purposes of composition, the pattern may be halted at any point, and in so doing may facilitate modulation to any desired key.

Dominant prolongation
Modern theorists such as Telesco explain how small sections of omnibus progression (signified in example 1 by brackets around groups of chords) can be viewed as an instance of dominant prolongation achieved through voice exchange. Example 2 (above) is effectively a prolongation of the dominant seventh chord G7 which utilises chromatic voice movement. The bass voice descends chromatically while the upper voice ascends chromatically, and the inner voices remain stationary on the notes of D and F. Eventually the chromatic movement results in a new inversion of the dominant seventh chord G7, resolving to the tonic chord C.

Coalport

Coalport is a village in Shropshire, England. It is located on the River Severn in the Ironbridge Gorge, a mile downstream of Ironbridge. It lies predominantly on the north bank of the river; on the other side is Jackfield. It forms part of the civil parish of the Gorge and is the south-eastern corner of the borough of Telford and Wrekin.

History
The settlement was planned as a canal–river interchange and a complete new town by ironmaster William Reynolds, who built warehouses, workshops, factories and workers' accommodation in Coalport between 1788 and 1796. He also directed the construction of the Shropshire Canal, linking the East Shropshire Coalfield with the River Severn — the terminus being Coalport Wharf between the Brewery Inn and Coalport Bridge. Coalport was, at this time, much larger than it is today.

Cast iron bridge
The Coalport Bridge of cast iron was built in 1818 and unlike its even more famous neighbour at Ironbridge, still takes vehicular traffic, albeit limited to a single line of traffic, a 3-tonne weight limit and a height restriction of 6 ft 6in (1.98 m). It was restored and strengthened in 2004. The bridge links Coalport with Broseley, a small town approximately a mile (1.6 km) away.

The bridge effectively extends Coalport across the river to an area historically known as Preens Eddy. On this southern side of the bridge is the Woodbridge Inn and the former Coalport West railway station. The Telford and Wrekin borough boundary runs through Preens Eddy - the Woodbridge Inn for instance lies in the Shropshire Council area.

Pottery
Coalport was home to an important pottery founded in 1795 by John Rose. It produced Coalport porcelain which became popular worldwide. The building it was initially produced in is now a YHA youth hostel and café. Production later moved across the canal to the buildings which are now the Coalport China Museum. Production moved to Staffordshire in 1926, and, although the Coalport name was retained as a brand, the company subsequently became part of the world-famous Wedgwood group.

Railways
The easternmost part of Coalport was, at one time, served by two railway stations:
 * Coalport East was a terminus of a London and North Western Railway branch from Wellington; it is sited on the northern river bank.
 * Coalport West was a through station on the Severn Valley Railway on the southern bank, operated by the Great Western Railway. The line is now part of the Severn Way waymarked walk; the station building is a private residence. Two converted ex-British Railways coaches have been placed between the platforms to provide holiday accommodation.

Canal

The Coalport Canal runs through the village and greatly aided the settlement's development. The Hay Inclined Plane was completed in 1793 and is one of the country's major industrial monuments and the best preserved and most spectacular of its kind. It enabled canal barges and narrowboats to be transferred from the bottom of the Severn gorge to the top, up a 1 in 4 gradient on wheeled cradles, operated by a team of just four men. It was the equivalent of 27 canal locks and could transport six barges per hour in this fashion, an operation that would have taken over three hours using a traditional lock system.

The canal was eventually superseded by rail transport and fell into neglect, silting up and becoming overgrown; it was infilled in the 1920s. It was not until the late 1970s that it was partially restored, with further restoration in the 1990s. The Hay Inclined Plane is now part of the Blists Hill museum, part of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust that operates Blists Hill Victorian Town, just half a mile up the hill.

Tar tunnel
The Tar Tunnel, a former source of natural bitumen, is near the Coalport Canal, and is open to the public at certain times.

Memorial footbridge
The Memorial Bridge is a footbridge spanning the River Severn, linking the Tuckies part of Jackfield with Coalport. It was built with funds raised by public subscription in 1922, and is in memorial to the men of Jackfield and Coalport who were killed in the First World War, later dedicated to those of both World Wars. The original structure was declared unsafe in 1997 but was refurbished and reopened in 2000.

Pubs
There are four public houses open in Coalport — the Brewery Inn, the Shakespeare Inn, the Boat Inn and the Woodbridge Inn (on the southern bank, by Coalport Bridge).

Talk:Edison, New Jersey

Nickname
Edison is sometimes referred to as "The Birthplace of the Modern World" because of Thomas Edison, so I added that. This was also stated in this book about Edison, NJ. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fidelio72 (talk • contribs) 19:49, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Politics
I found the Politics section to violate the npov policy and also found inaccurate. I note it was the EDO, not the EDP, that disallowed Choi's screening. Regarding instances of municipal corruption, they should be cited. E.g. 60 minutes piece, Oak Tree Pond acquisition.

 * D'accord. I would have taken it out myself (see the comment in the source), but I gave the anonymous editor a chance to alter it before altering it or sending up POV flags. Ah well, I guess we're in for it. —AllanBz 14:15, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC) (Reproduced below without commenting)

 * ahem. I always thought [Edison political machinery was long corrupt] as well, but felt it too POVish to write in, and note how I couched my language about the specific instances in a way that doesn't get anyone sued?

I'd also like to contribute my $.02 that the political section of this article is not very objective and takes a stance on things that a Wikipedia article should not.

The Wal-Mart controversy is mute and should be deleted from the wiki page as the store has already been built in November 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.117.232.33 (talk) 16:26, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Diversity
"Like all large municipalities in New Jersey, Edison is a diverse town, but probably the most predominantly white of all of New Jersey's large cities." Edison is a suburb, and is actually one of the most diverse in New Jersey. Only 25 years ago, Edison had practically no Asians. But Edison has more Indians, Chinese, and Koreans than any other town in the US. The Indian Miss America Pageant was even held here. —Hoogli

 * Uhh.. I meant NJ, not US. Hoogli 15:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm not a fan of the passage either, but I can attest from personal history that there were Asians in North Edison 25 years ago.

I don't think the whole William Kruczak section needs to be such a major part of the article. It may be worth mentioning in a sentence or two, but I think something of that detail belongs in a seperate article. I think the whole Edison article in general had too much topical political material. The article could use either some trimming or more non-political info to balance it out.

 * I'll merely note here that you can refactor the page yourself. Remember, be bold in editing pages! → ( AllanBz ✎ ) 05:02, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

The schools section of the article is atrocious! I did my best to fix it, but it still induces headaches. —Hoogli

I don't understand why anyone would write "but probably the most predominantly white of all of New Jersey's large cities." about Edison. It's nickname is little India. It is VERY diverse. whoever wrote that sentence must have been referring to a different Edison, or they were just mistaken. I don't know about any Chinese people from Edison Hoogli, but I know plenty of South Koreans from Edison. Remilo (talk) 02:40, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Notable events
In 1994, in Edison Township, New Jersey, a natural gas transmission pipeline ruptured. The gas ignited, sending flames 400 to 500 feet upward and destroyed eight buildings. Examination of the ruptured pipe revealed previous mechanical damage to the exterior of the pipe that reduced its wall thickness. A crack grew to critical size when it then ruptured. Contributing to the rupture were brittle properties of the pipe material.

Statement by Rod Dyck, Associate Director, Pipeline Division, National Transportation Safety Board at a Pipeline Safety Hearing on November 15, 2000. http://www.ntsb.gov/events/2000/pipeline_hearing/overview_txt.htm In March 1994, a rupture occured in a 36-inch gas transmission line in Edison Township, New Jersey. Within ninety seconds, the escaping high-pressure (975 psi) gas ignited, and the resultant fireball rose five hundred feet into the night sky. The rupture was the result of a previous gouge in the pipe made by excavating equipment sometime between 1986 and the date of the incident. Damage amounted to more than 25 million dollars, and the fire incinerated eight multifamily structures.

Page 69. Responding to "Routine" Emergencies by Frank C Montagna. 1999, Fire Engineering Books and Videos.

Heat from the explosion melted the tires of nearby parked cars. One death was reported, the result of a heart attack likely triggered by the explosion.

(Needs source)

Left here for others to paraphrase and cite.

Is there a citation for the statement "When the ruptured pipe was excavated they discovered a buried car that had been reported stolen by the owner and buried next to the pipe." --Vees 17:50, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Merge with Edison Township Public Schools
Keep both articles, expanding Edison Township Public Schools and reducing the education content in the Edison article. The proposal waw made to merge the content of Edison Township Public Schools into the Edison article. While well-intentioned, the shift needs to be in the opposite direction. The text regarding public education in the Edison article was copied and expanded to craete the Edison Township Public Schools article, as part of the efforts of WikiProject New Jersey to expand articles about education in new Jersey. As one of the largest districts in New Jersey, the Edison Township Public Schools deserve a standalone article. As text is added to the Public Schools article, the content of the Edison article will be trimmed down. Alansohn 13:39, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

1870 establishment
I'm putting this artivle in the 1870 establishment category. Although the area was settled well before that year, "The township, formed from parts of Woodbridge and Piscataway township was incorporated originally as "Raritan Township" in March" of 1870 according to the website. So, the current municipality exists since that year. If anyone disagrees, feel free to edit or remove it. --- Rogsheng 02:38, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Woodbrook Corners
Is Woodbrook Corners really a "notable place"? There are many similar residential subdivisions in Edison (and throughout NJ). I don't think it's worth it to list them all unless it's statistically notable (ie, largest by area, largest by population, oldest). Alternatively, places like Durham Woods would be notable because the Durham Woods Fire happened there. Wl219 01:20, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Information about Thomas A. Edison inaccurate
It says in the article: "It was in the Menlo Park Laboratory that Thomas Edison came up with his most famous inventions, including the phonograph and electric light." Technically, Edison didn't invent the light bulb, his researchers just revised the design to work longer and cooler. JSBillings 17:36, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I've made the following change: Wl219 04:18, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

2007 election?
I'd like to add some information about the 2007 democratic primary, as it has become a "circus". However, I'm not sure how important it is, or will turn out to be. Any comments? Hoogli 15:33, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

As a rule Wikipedia should not contain any info speculating about future events or their possible importance. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wp:not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_crystal_ball. Cheers. Tendancer 18:46, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

The map
The map of Edison Township is either unclear or misleading. The article Township (New Jersey) states that townships are not further subdivided, this map would imply otherwise. Someone with more knowledge of the subject should try to clarify this somewhere, either by fixing the article or removing the map or adding some kind of explanation. IvoShandor (talk) 12:49, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

 * The new maps have some problems, see discussion here. As for enclaves within Townships, there are two things that match your description.  I'm not sure which you are referring to.
 * Townships don't have further divisions as far as the NJ Government is concerned, but the Census Bureau or the Post Office may have names for places that don't match the township name. These are usually Census Designated Places.  For example, see Priceton Junction, which is a CDP within West Windsor Township.
 * Also, a borough (or other form of government) may form within the borders of a township. That borough becomes a seperate municipality, even if it is fully surrounded by the township it was formerly part of.  As an example, see Medford Lakes, which is geographically within Medford Township, but is politically independent.
 * Hope this helps. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 14:50, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Chris's explanation is correct, but to expand, I restored the old map, which more clearly shows the borders of the township. In Edison's case, this is a classic donut municipality, in which Metuchen, New Jersey is the hole in the donut. Metuchen is an independent borough surrounded by Edison (i.e., the donut). There may well be CDP's, zip codes or neighborhoods within the township, but (as in all of New Jersey), there are no independent municipalities that are part of some other municipality. I hope this helps. Alansohn (talk) 14:58, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Where does Menlo Park take its name from?
What is it named after? Thanks, Maikel (talk) 14:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Demographics
The racial makeup of the township was 55.8% White, 6.9% African American, 0.14% Native American, 17.3% Indian, 9% Asian, 2.4% Pacific Islander, 2% from Other races, and 2.2% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race was 6.4% of the population.

Why is Indian not included in the Asian statistics? I believe Indian is a subset of Asian, correct? - Ranmin (talk) 04:29, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

External links belong at article bottom
Wikipedia discourages external links within the text of an article. Please keep these at the bottom of the article and to a minimum, thank you. See: linking rules.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:35, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

2010 census information, which may be helpful.

 * Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) has a Hindu temple on Woodbridge Avenue

 * Bonhamtown, site of a battle during the American Revolutionary War
 * Camp Kilmer, a World War II era army post, was partially located in what is now Edison.

 * Wikipedia is not a travel guide. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 18:17, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * The Edison Municipal Complex, located off Route 27 next to the Edison Square/Clarion Hotel office park.
 * I hope we can agree this is unreferenced SOAP. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 05:24, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Edison station in south Edison, offering service on NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor Line.
 * Edison Towne Square located on U.S. Route 1, currently has a Sam's Club, a Topgolf and a Starbucks. There are plans to open an iFly Indoor Skydiving and an LA Fitness gym.

I suggested going through the list to find anything that aren't WP:NOT violations. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 04:23, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * To expand on my previous comment above, NOT specifically tells us to find independent, reliable sources to determine if content is encyclopedic. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 18:15, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * To elaborate further, while the libraries exist, at those locations, we have no sources that demonstrate this content is of encyclopedic value. A township has libraries is to be expected. Numbering them, giving the locations, pointing out they have a bookmobile - this may be suitable for a detailed tourist guide and the township's self-promotion, but not for an encyclopedia article.
 * WP:PRESERVE says, As long as any facts or ideas would belong in an encyclopedia, which I think is a clear reference to WP:NOT.
 * WP:DON'T PRESERVE says, What Wikipedia is not describes material that is fundamentally inappropriate for Wikipedia
 * WP:NOT begins The amount of information on Wikipedia is practically unlimited, but Wikipedia is a digital encyclopedia and therefore does not aim to contain all data or expression found elsewhere.
 * NOT guides us to using independent, reliable sources. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 21:20, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

City rankings
I'm glad my edit yesterday led to this lively discussion. My edit removed what appeared to be promotional content (see also ). I would appreciate input about whether an RfC similar to this discussion would be appropriate. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:10, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for bringing it up and pointing out the RfC. I agree the content is promotional. As you can see, we're having difficulties determining how to apply NOT and POV to this article.
 * My suggestion is to trim down who gave the awards and emphasize why the awards were given. Awards that don't give details deserve little or no mention. Awards that aren't clearly noteworthy deserve little or no mention. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 16:49, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Libraries
Libraries are a part of the city's govt & educational facilities. Appropriate for article of this type.Djflem (talk) 21:13, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
 * As a footnote maybe, unless there's something encyclopedic about them. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 23:18, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Qadariyah

Qadariyyah (قدرية), also Qadarites or Kadarites, from qadar (قدر), meaning "power", was originally a derogatory term designating early Islamic theologians who rejected the concept of predestination in Islam, qadr, and asserted that humans possess absolute free will, making them responsible for their actions, justifying divine punishment and absolving God of responsibility for evil in the world. Some of their doctrines were later adopted by the Mu'tazilis and rejected by the Ash'aris. They argued that evil actions of human beings could not be decreed by God, as they would have to be if there was no free will and all events in the universe were determined by God.

Qadariyyah was one of the first philosophical schools in Islam. The earliest document associated with the movement is the pseudoepigraphical text Risala attributed to Hasan al-Basri, which was composed between 75 AH/694 CE and 80/699, though debates about free will in Islam probably predate this text. According to Sunni sources, the Qadariyah were censured by Muhammad himself by being compared to Zoroastrians, who likewise deny predestination.

Floribbean cuisine

Floribbean cuisine refers to a fusion cuisine found in Florida. It is influenced by Latin American cuisine, Caribbean cuisine, Cuban cuisine, Soul food, Jamaican cuisine, Puerto Rican cuisine, Haitian cuisine, Bahamian cuisine, Jewish cuisine, and Asian cuisine.

Floribbean-style cooking also incorporates an exotic spice pantry: red curry, lemongrass, ginger, and scallions are as commonly used today in Floribbean cookery as grits and cobbler are in other parts of Florida.

As Floribbean cuisine evolved in South Florida it was strongly influenced by Asian culinary principles emphasizing the use of locally harvested Asian fruits and vegetables that will grow only in tropical and subtropical parts of the continental United States, where it rarely freezes.

Typical features of Floribbean cuisine include an emphasis on fresh ingredients and complex medleys of spices, especially strong flavors offset by milder ones. Floribbean cooking often uses less spicy heat than the Caribbean dishes that inspire it, but there is extensive use of several kinds of peppers. This pungency, however, is almost always moderated by the use of mango, papaya, rum, almond, coconut, key lime, or honey.

Latin-Floribbean cuisine mixes Floribbean cuisine with Latin-American cuisine, resulting in strong Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Dominican influences.

Speedy deletion of Armadillo String Quartet
A tag has been placed on Armadillo String Quartet requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. StarM 03:01, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Function composition (disambiguation)

The article Function composition (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: "per WP:2DABS"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Dinka alphabet

The Dinka alphabet is used by South Sudanese Dinka people. The written Dinka language is based on the ISO basic Latin alphabet, but with some added letters adapted from the International Phonetic Alphabet. The current orthography is derived from the alphabet developed for the southern Sudanese languages at the Rejaf language conference in 1928. Prior to this, several attempts at adapting the Arabic and Latin scripts to the Dinka language were made, but neither effort was met with large success. Christian missionaries were essential to the development of what became the Dinka alphabet.

Alphabet
Dinka does not use f, q, s, v, x, and z; and h is used in digraphs only.

IPA
Dental consonants are distinguished from alveolar by adding a following h. Otherwise, consonants match with their IPA equivalents, except /ɲ/, which is written as ny; /ɟ/, written j; /j/, written y; and /ɾ/, written r. Plain vowels match their IPA equivalents, and the diaeresis indicates breathy voice phonation, which phonemically contrasts with modal voice.

Unicode
Note that ɛ̈ (open e with trema/umlaut) and ɔ̈ (open o with trema/umlaut) do not exist as precomposed characters in Unicode and must therefore be generated using U+0308, the diaeresis combining diacritic.

Eupraxis

In pedagogy, eupraxis or eupraxia (εὐπραξία) is an "ethical life-stance", similar in meaning to eupraxsophy, a word coined in the 20th century by secular humanist philosopher Paul Kurtz.

For Aristotle, eupraxia, defined as 'acting well', has three components. One must not merely do the right thing, but choose to do it for the right reasons and do it habitually.

Over There

"Over There" is a 1917 song written by George M. Cohan that was popular with the United States military and public during both world wars. It is a patriotic song designed to galvanize American young men to enlist and fight the "Hun". The song is best remembered for a line in its chorus: "The Yanks are coming."

History
Cohan wrote it after he had learned that the US had abandoned their policy of non-interventionism and planned to enter World War I on the side of the Allied Powers. It has been revived on various occasions during and after World War II. It was not heavily used during the Vietnam War but has been used since the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Lyrics

As sung by early 20th-century recording artist Billy Murray:

In popular culture

 * Since 2009, UK financial services comparison website Go.Compare has used an adapted version of the song for their adverts, sung by Wynne Evans.
 * The song provides the introduction to the Kanonenfieber song "The Yankee Division March" (with Trevor Strnad).
