User talk:Bcebul

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have.  You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox.  When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines.  First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette.  Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame)  11:05, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)

Hi,

I need your help. I am working on a research project at Boston College, studying creation of medical information on Wikipedia. You are being contacted, because you have been identified as an important contributor to one or more articles.

Would you will be willing to answer a few questions about your experience? We've done considerable background research, but we would also like to gather the insight of the actual editors. Details about the project can be found at the user page of the project leader, geraldckane. Survey questions can be found at geraldckane/medsurvey. Your privacy and confidentiality will be strictly protected!

The questions should only take a few minutes. I hope you will be willing to complete the survey, as we do value your insight. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Professor Kane if you have any questions.

Thank You, BCeagle0312 (talk) 19:44, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Kutta-Joukowski
Hi Bcebul. Thanks for your recent edits to Lift (force). I noticed your edit summary regarding the disproven Kutta-Zhukovsky theorem. The editors who edit this article regularly and who monitor its progress certainly don't regard the Kutta-Joukowski theorem as being disproven. If you continue with this line of thought it is inevitable that some of your work will be reverted. Please use the Talk:Lift (force) page to discuss things you want to eliminate from the article, and particularly if the article states something that you consider to be disproven or scientifically incorrect. Best regards. Dolphin ( t ) 03:31, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Take it  up   with  Hoffman  and   Johnson   who    have   published   their  work  in  a  peer   reviewed   journal: J. Hoffman and C. Johnson, Resolution of d´Alembert's paradox, Online First, Dec 10, 2008, Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics. Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics Sept 12 2008. Bcebul (talk) 05:30, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * No, neither Hoffman nor Johnson has posted anything on Wikipedia so we won't be taking anything up with them. You have posted things on Wikipedia so if Users want to discuss any of your contributions they will discuss them with you.  We are all responsible for everything we post on Wikipedia and that is one of the reasons we all need to be confident we have suitable published sources for the material we add, so it can be independently verified and so we can discuss it with other Users.  Cheers.  Dolphin  ( t ) 06:27, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Bernoulli's principle
Hi Bcebul. On 10 June you made an edit to indicate that Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in speed occurs simultaneously with an increase in dynamic pressure and an increase in kinetic energy. I have reverted your edit. I agree that an increase in speed occurs simultaneously with an increase in kinetic energy - that is the consequence of the definition of kinetic energy. Similarly, an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with an an increase in dynamic pressure - that is the consequence of the definition of dynamic pressure. Neither of these changes is linked to the discovery by Bernoulli, now known as Bernoulli's principle. The statement which you edited is supported by citation of the book Aerodynamics by L.J. Clancy. This book does not support the changes you made.

Your interest in fluid dynamics subjects is much appreciated. Keep going! Please don't be disheartened by my reverting of your good-faith edits. Dolphin ( t ) 02:15, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. If Bernoulli's principle  implies (rather  than  says) what I  wrote  and   what is  stated   later  in  the   article leading  to the  incompressible flow equation: $$p_0\, =\, p\, +\, q\,$$ , then perhaps this important  implication and  distinction could  be introduced  earlier for  the  sake  of   clarity?Bcebul (talk) 03:10, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure I understand your comment. Dynamic pressure is defined in terms of fluid speed (and density) at Dynamic pressure and also at Bernoulli's principle.  Kinetic energy is defined in terms of speed (and mass) at Kinetic energy.  What are you suggesting could be introduced earlier in the article for the sake of clarity?  Dolphin  ( t ) 03:57, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Well, in hindsight, the "pressure" Bernoulli was referring  to  which  was decreased by increasing velocity of  the  fluid was static pressure.  The  decrease  in  potential   energy he  apparently  noted,   by the first  law  of  thermodynamics,  implies increase in  kinetic energy, etc.  He  may  have   pre dated  the 1st law,  but   we have  known  it  since 1850.  Why  not   come  to  the   point  earlier  in  the  article for  the practical, erudite education of the  reader?  Bcebul (talk) 05:41, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

 * The first sentence in the article says:
 * In fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's principle states that for an inviscid flow, an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy.
 * That seems to summarise it quite well, but if you think the article needs some extra information earlier in the article you could refine the first sentence. Dolphin  ( t ) 06:11, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Invitation
Hi Bcebul. Thank you for your editing at Forces on sails. As discussed there, I am proposing to re-organize the article, using much of the existing material, in order to make the article more accessible. I hope that you will participate. So, I invite you to follow the sandbox page where the reorganization is being drafted. I suggest making comments on that effort at Talk:Forces on sails.

Recent edits to naval architecture article
Hi Bcebul Thanks for your edits to the naval architecture article. Although aerodynamics is a main subject in yacht design, it is not so in naval architecture. The article primarily deals with the subject of naval architecture itself and not the design of specific types of vessels. Please feel free to discuss in the article's talk page. ChrysalSnowlax (talk) 03:16, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, ChrysalSnowlax. That is nonsense. Naval architecture institutions traditionally and  to   date include aerodynamics in  their  curricula, as   they  must due  to the   fundamental effects  of   air   movement affecting   weather,   waves  and vessels of all  sorts,  sail  or  not. To  ignore  this   fact  is   to  make  the  article  incomplete. Also, sailboat  design  is an  important traditional  and   current aspect of  naval  architecture  and  is   included  in  the discipline. Just because  some  institutions or naval  architects  may  not   focus  on   aerodynamics  or limit  their curricula from  time   to  time or  trend  to  trend,   does not change  the   fundamentals. See  references   which   you  have  deleted. Bcebul (talk) 07:41, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi Bcebul, it's not nonsense. I did check all the references you provided. Two of them were books on sail boat and yacht design respectively.
 * If you can provide a reference of a textbook on core naval architecture OR a link from any of the accredited professional organisations (RINA, SNAME, ASNE or IMarEST) which mentions aerodynamics as a main subject of naval architecture, then it would be worth including it in the article.

 * The third reference you provided was a course guide of naval architecture from Australian Maritime College, which listed 'fluid mechanics'. The subjects listed in the above course guide are typical of naval architecture curriculum of other institutions.

 * I understand that you mention aerodynamics as a part of 'fluid mechanics'.
 * However, 'fluid mechanics' is not taught as a subject of naval architecture itself but as a topic in basic engineering (similar to ‘solid mechanics’).
 * You will find 'fluid mechanics' listed in the course guides of other engineering branches, say for example, civil engineering or even instrumentation and control engineering. This does not mean 'fluid mechanics' is a main subject of civil engineering.
 * As I mentioned previously, the article primarily deals with naval architecture as a branch of engineering and the main subjects of naval architecture are those presently given there. Feel free to discuss. ChrysalSnowlax (talk) 02:24, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Fluid mechanics and  Fluid  dynamics   include  aerodynamics. Maybe  "Main Subjects" is an  inappropriately narrow, limiting and  arbitrary heading not  inclusive  of  all Naval  Architecture curricula. Change it  to include  topics   of interest in   Naval Architecture. Sheesh:

 * Hi Bcebul, you are again focusing on sailing craft. The point of the article is to cover the branch of naval architecture and not specific types of vessels. Types of vessels designed by naval architects are already mentioned in the article.
 * The references you have given do not say that studying aerodynamics is a must to become a naval architect. 'Fluid mechanics' is not taught as a subject of naval architecture itself but as a topic in basic engineering (similar to 'solid mechanics') (Check up course guides of mechanical engineering, civil engineering, mechatronics, aerospace engineering, instrumentation and control engineering, industrial and production engineering etc). I would appreciate it if you read my previous posts carefully. ChrysalSnowlax (talk) 04:58, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Drag (physics)
Hello Bcebul. Today you made some edits to Drag (physics). (See your diff.)

I have deleted your paragraph which stated: Depending on the direction of the velocity of the solid relative to the fluid (a liquid or gas), the drag may be the component of the net aerodynamic or hydrodynamic force acting opposite to the direction of the movement such as in a car or aeroplane, or it may act in the same direction of motion as the solid, such as in a boat sailing down wind.

I deleted it for two reasons:
 * The paragraph was unsourced. Information on Wikipedia must come from reliable, published sources.  The source must be cited to allow independent verification and to guard against editors adding material that they believe to be true but which is not true and has never been published in a reliable source.
 * The content of the paragraph was incorrect. It is misleading to say that, in the case of a boat sailing down wind, the drag acts in the same direction as the boat.  Drag acting on a solid body always acts to oppose the motion of that body through the fluid.  It is true that drag can sometimes act in a direction that enhances the motion of a solid body relative to the Earth's surface, such a boat or a paper bag accelerating across the Earth's surface as a result of the aerodynamic drag caused by the wind.  But lift and drag are never defined in terms of motion relative to the Earth's surface - they are always defined in terms of motion relative to a fluid.

You are free to add information to Drag (physics) when you are able to cite the source or sources from which you obtained the information. Happy editing. Dolphin ( t ) 04:59, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Dolphin. Correct, drag is always defined in terms of motion relative to a fluid. It is a force on the   solid exerted by  the fluid in the  direction of  the fluid's motion relative to  the solid. That is all. There is no part of the  definition mentioning  the  direction  of  the   solid's motion or  opposition to or  enhancement of the solid's motion. The paragraph  in  question is   only  there  to  illustrate practical application of  drag  theory. Citations added as requested.Bcebul (talk) 10:08, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

 * I have raised the matter for discussion among Users who have an interest in the subject. See Talk:Drag (physics). Please add your own comments to the new thread.  Dolphin  ( t ) 11:42, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Please be very careful with your additions to Drag (physics). I don't think your additions have improved the quality of the article. In one of your recent edits you added the following sentence: In the case of laminar flow of fluid in a pipe, viscous drag force on the immobile pipe decreases the magnitude of fluid flow in a direction opposite to the drag force direction.  I assume that by the expression the magnitude of fluid flow you mean the flow rate as might be measured in gallons per minute or litres per second or pounds per second. I’m sure you are aware that fluid flow rate is a scalar quantity - it doesn't have direction in the way vectors do. If the rate of fluid flow decreases it is sufficient to say it decreases - it isn't meaningful to say it decreases in one direction or the other.

The rate of fluid flow through a pipe will be affected by the drag, regardless of whether the flow is laminar or turbulent. Adding the words in a direction opposite to the drag force is unnecessary and unhelpful. Dolphin ( t ) 01:55, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Tweaks suggested for your excellent illustrations
Hi Bcebul. Thanks for providing and evolving your excellent illustrations on forces that affect a sailboat, File:Boatforcestop.svg and File:Boatforcestern.svg. They appear to have a transparent background, which in some cases renders as a distracting checkerboard pattern. It would be enormously helpful, if you could put a solid background behind them. I could do this in Photoshop, but I'm afraid to destroy your ability to edit the top layer.

Also, I could suggest rendering the mainsail opaque in File:Boatforcestop.svg. This would hide the distracting gunnel visible through it in the current version. Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 12:56, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Discussion of Wikimedia
Hi Bcebul. Thanks for your suggestions on the Cl and Cd diagram at Wikimedia. I have more thoughts there. Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 22:03, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Forces on sails
Hi Bcebul, I'd like to invite you to help me solve the issues that various editors have raised at Talk:Forces on sails.

I can tell that working on this article gives you great pleasure and satisfaction, which I also derive from my editing activities. Editing gives an opportunity both to learn for oneself and to teach others—both of which can be very satisfying. Such dedication, unfortunately, has the risk of a sense of ownership of an article. I can tell from the civility of your responses in talk pages that you are a person of WP:Good faith. It would be great, however, to see more participation in discussion. I note that, of your last 500 edits, only 28 of them were at the Talk:Forces on sails page. I feel that you are trying to be responsive to ideas that I post there—harmonizing nomenclature and incorporating diagrams—but I'm concerned that you have missed the bigger concern about how to make technical articles understandable (see this link). You'll note that I have tried to follow that guidance in the sandbox, especially the "Rules of thumb": I wanted to have this conversation with you, because the alternative seems to be major remodeling of what you have worked on without your participation and that would make you feel bad and lead to edit warring and, ultimately, arbitration. I don't want that for either of us.
 * 4.1 Put the most understandable parts of the article up front
 * 4.2 Write one level down
 * 4.3 Add a concrete example
 * 4.4 Explain formulae in English
 * 4.5 Add a picture
 * 4.6 Avoid overly technical language
 * 4.7 Don't oversimplify:

So, I can suggest two approaches, both of which involve a hiatus in working directly in the article: 1. let's discuss the article at the Talk:Forces on sails page in light of Make technical articles understandable and/or 2. let's do further editing in the sandbox.

How about a joint goal of making this a WP:Good Article? There are only two in WikiProject Sailing, one of which looks dubious to me!

Polio
Hi, I've reversed your edit because it was inaccurate. There's plenty of evidence that the inactivated virus vaccine works - you can check anty of the other citations in this section. Your citation was looking at a very different scenario for the control of cVDPV which is different from epidemic polio. Bob (talk) 21:15, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Please read the referenced  review article. In it  you  will  see references to previous  reviews  in  regards  wild  type polio.  Gut immunity is poor  with IPV.  This  is  important in  choice of   vaccines  for various   settings.  Public health  vaccine  advocates  have  been  known to  get  this  wrong. So  probably  should  not  be  relying on Wikipedia. Consider  this   when   you  reedit the  article.
 * 2.3. Vaccination with IPV
 * IPV is administered via the intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intradermal route, and contains chemically inactivated poliovirus types 1, 2 and 3. Wild poliovirus strains are included in Salk IPV and Sabin strains in Sabin IPV. IPV induces high levels of neutralizing antibodies in serum and elicits oropharyngeal mucosal immunity but has minimal effect on intestinal immunity in naïve individuals [10], [11], [12]. Vaccination schedules with IPV alone protect recipients from paralysis and reduce transmission of poliovirus through the oral-oral route (nasopharyngeal shedding), but are ineffective at stopping poliovirus transmission through the fecal-oral route, which plays a major role among young children and in settings with suboptimal sanitation [5].

Teltron tube

A teltron tube (named for Teltron Inc., which is now owned by 3B Scientific Ltd.) is a type of cathode ray tube used to demonstrate the properties of electrons. There were several different types made by Teltron including a diode, a triode, a Maltese Cross tube, a simple deflection tube with a fluorescent screen, and one which could be used to measure the charge-to-mass ratio of an electron. The latter two contained an electron gun with deflecting plates. The beams can be bent by applying voltages to various electrodes in the tube or by holding a magnet close by. The electron beams are visible as fine bluish lines. This is accomplished by filling the tube with low pressure helium (He) or Hydrogen (H2) gas. A few of the electrons in the beam collide with the helium atoms, causing them to fluoresce and emit light.

They are usually used to teach electromagnetic effects because they show how an electron beam is affected by electric fields and by magnetic fields like the Lorentz force.

Motions in fields
Charged particles in a uniform electric field follow a parabolic trajectory, since the electric field term (of the Lorentz force which acts on the particle) is the product of the particle's charge and the magnitude of the electric field, (oriented in the direction of the electric field). In a uniform magnetic field however, charged particles follow a circular trajectory due to the cross product in the magnetic field term of the Lorentz force. (That is, the force from the magnetic field acts on the particle in a direction perpendicular to the particle's direction of motion. See: Lorentz force for more details.)

Apparatus
The 'teltron' apparatus consists of a Teltron type electron deflection tube, a Teltron stand, EHT power supply (0 - 5000 V DC, variable).

Experimental setup
In an evacuated glass bulb some hydrogen gas (H2) is filled, so that the tube has a hydrogen atmosphere at low pressure of about 1 Pa is formed. The pressure is such that the electrons are decelerated by collisions as little as possible (change in kinetic energy), the number of collisions are few but sufficient to emit visible light. Inside the bulb there is an electron gun. This consists of a heating spiral, a cathode and an anode hole. From the cathode (-) electrons are emitted and accelerated by the electric field towards the positively charged anode (+). Through a hole in the anode, the electrons leave the beam forming system and the Wehnelt cylinder bundles.

Results
When the heater is energized, the heating coil will cause electrons to emerge from it due to thermionic emission. In the electric field between anode and cathode, the electric field acts on the electrons, which accelerate to a high velocity, such that the electrons leave through a small opening in the anode as an electron beam. Only when the coil current is turned on will a force act on the beam and change its direction. Otherwise it will retain its velocity. If, however, the coil current is switched on, the Lorentz force will direct the electrons into a circular orbit.

Determination of the specific electron charge
The higher the coil current, the stronger magnetic field and thus smaller radius of the circular path of the electrons. The strength of the magnetic field and the Lorentz force are proportional to each other, such that when the Lorentz force increases. A larger Lorentz force will deflect the electrons more strongly, so the orbit will be smaller. The Lorentz force $$F_L$$ is always perpendicular to the instantaneous direction of movement and allows a centripetal $$F_Z$$ circular motion. The magnitude of the velocity and hence the kinetic energy can not change:

F_L &= F_Z\\ e v B &= m \frac{v^2}{r} \end{align}$$

From this we get the amount of specific electron charge

 * $$\frac{e}{m} = \frac{v}{B r}$$

The determination of the velocity is performed using the energy conservation law

 * $$e U = \frac{1}{2} m v^2$$

This is finally followed by

 * $$\frac{e}{m} = \frac{2 U}{r^2 B^2}$$

The specific electron charge has the value

 * $$\frac{-e}{m} \approx -1.7588202 \times 10^{11} \, \mathrm{\frac{C}{kg}}$$

Since the charge of an electron is available from the Millikan experiment, the study of electrons in an magnetic field is the determination of its mass in accordance with:

 * $$\ m = \frac{e r^2 B^2}{2 U} \approx 9.1094 \times 10^{-31} \, \mathrm{kg} $$

Similar concepts for the weighing of charged particles can be found in the mass spectrometer.

History of Mozilla Application Suite

The history of the Mozilla Application Suite began with the release of the source code of the Netscape suite as an open source project. Going through years of hard work (with the help of the community contributors), Mozilla 1.0 was eventually released on June 5, 2002. Its backend code base, most notably the Gecko layout engine, has become the foundation of a number of applications based on Mozilla, including the Mozilla Foundation's flagship product Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird. While the suite is no longer a formal Mozilla product, its development and maintenance is continued as the SeaMonkey community project.

Open sourcing of Communicator
In March 1998, Netscape Communications Corporation released most of the code base for its popular Netscape Communicator suite under an open source license. The name of the application developed from this would be Mozilla, coordinated by the newly created Mozilla Organization, at the mozilla.org website.

The open source release, which came at the height of the United States's late-1990s economic boom, was greeted by the Internet community with a mixture of acclaim and skepticism. In some circles, Netscape's source release was seen as both a victory for the free software movement and an opportunity for Netscape to tap the power of open source development. This view was particularly popular among users of Linux and other free software. Other observers, including many outside of the free software business community, interpreted the move as Netscape's surrender in the face of the ascendancy of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser.

Regardless of the public's opinion, development with the Communicator code base proved harder than initially hoped:
 * The Communicator code base was huge and complex.
 * It had to be developed simultaneously on many operating systems, and therefore to cope with their differing APIs, GUIs, libraries and idiosyncrasies.
 * It bore the scars of many rapid cycles of closed-source development on "Internet time". The short development cycles had led programmers to sacrifice modularity and elegance in the scramble to implement more features.
 * Several parts of Communicator's code were never released as open source, due to licensing arrangements with third parties.

Rewriting from scratch
Ultimately, the Mozilla core developers concluded that the old code could not be salvaged. As stated on the October 26, 1998 development roadmap, it was decided to scrap the whole code base and rewrite it from the ground up. The resulting plan included, among other things, the creation of a whole new cross-platform user interface library and a new layout engine.

Few observers foresaw the result. On December 7, 1998, Netscape released a special "preview" based on the Gecko layout engine. Gecko had already been in development for some time at Netscape under the internal name NGLayout (short for "Next Generation Layout"). It was noticeably faster and smaller than its predecessor (known as Mariner). One widely publicized feature of the first Gecko preview release was that it fit on a single 1.44 MB floppy disk, making it about one tenth the size of most contemporary browsers.

The prompt release of Gecko led many to believe that a complete browser could not be far behind. However, the first release of the layout engine was far from bug- and crash-free, and even farther from being ready for the prime-time. Producing a fully functional web browser required much more than the nascent rendering engine: the Mozilla developers soon envisioned a project more ambitious than a simple web browser. The new Mozilla (internally codenamed "Seamonkey") would be a platform for Internet applications, with a fully programmable user interface and a modular architecture. This Mozilla would function equally well as a host for email client, instant messaging client, news client, or any number of other applications.

Due to the effort required for this massive rewrite, the project fell far behind its original projected deadlines. In the years that followed, skepticism about Mozilla grew widespread, and some doubted that a finished Mozilla browser would ever see the light of day. However, the project persisted, continuing uninterrupted through both the purchase of Netscape by AOL and the end of the dot-com boom.

By June 5, 2002, the Mozilla project had produced version 1.0 of the browser that worked on multiple operating systems, including Linux, Mac OS, Microsoft Windows, and Solaris. The browser was praised for introducing new features that Internet Explorer lacked, including better support for user privacy preferences and some interface improvements. Additionally, the Mozilla browser became a de facto reference implementation for various World Wide Web Consortium standards, due to its strong support for those standards.

Independence from AOL
On July 15, 2003, AOL announced that it would close down its browser division, which was in essence Netscape's Mozilla. AOL laid off most of Netscape's employees and hackers, except for some who were transferred to other divisions. Netscape signs were seen being pulled off its building, confirming what many took as the end of Netscape. AOL kept the Netscape brand for its portal, but the company no longer paid anyone to develop the Mozilla codebase.

On the same day, the Mozilla Foundation was created. The Foundation is a non-profit organization composed primarily of developers and staff from Mozilla Organization and owns the Mozilla trademark (but not the copyright to the source code, which is retained by the individual and corporate contributors, but licensed under the GPL, MPL and LGPL). It received initial $2 million donations from AOL, IBM, Sun Microsystems, and Red Hat, and $300,000 from Mitch Kapor.

Many people had been expecting this after AOL reached a settlement with competitor, Microsoft, with a deal for the AOL software to use Internet Explorer for the next 7 years. Netscape had always been seen as a bargaining chip for AOL against Microsoft.

The end of the Suite
According to the Mozilla development roadmap published on April 2, 2003, the Mozilla Organization planned to focus development efforts on the new standalone applications: Phoenix (now known as Mozilla Firefox) and Minotaur (now known as Mozilla Thunderbird). Since then, many new features and enhancements have been added to the standalone applications only.

On March 10, 2005, the Mozilla Foundation announced that they would not release any further official versions of the suite beyond 1.7.x. However, the foundation emphasized that they would still provide infrastructure for community members who wished to continue development. In effect, this means that the suite will still continue to be developed, but not by the Mozilla Foundation itself. To avoid confusing organizations that still want to use the original Mozilla Suite, the new product needed a new name. On July 2, 2005, it was announced that the suite is going to be named SeaMonkey, which was originally the code name of the Mozilla Application Suite. The new project-leading group is known as the "SeaMonkey Council".

Branding and visual identity

Initially, the term "Mozilla" was loosely used to refer to a number of subjects, including the Mozilla project, the Mozilla Suite, the codebase of the Suite and its related technologies. Since the shifting of development focus, to distinguish the suite from the standalone products, the suite was marketed as "Mozilla Suite", or the more lengthy "Mozilla Application Suite".

It is often argued that since free software is typically only designed by programmers rather than graphic designers or usability gurus, it frequently suffers from poor icon and GUI design, and a lack of a strong visual identity.

During development of Mozilla, a number of logos were used in various areas of the application. The logos are inconsistent with each other; for example, the logo used as the program's icon is different from the one used as the throbber, which is again different from the one used in the "About" window.

Release history
Parts of this table are based on the release notes of Mozilla.

Note (1): 1.2.1 was the last official Mozilla.org public release to support Mac OS 9 "Classic". Technically though, 1.3a was the last version to support OS 9 but only via the use of the CarbonLib extension as explained in the 1.3a release notes. An unofficial port of 1.3a was later created in the form of WaMCom in an attempt to provide a stable build of 1.3 for OS 9 users.

Note (2): There was no Mozilla 1.7.4. The 1.7.5 version number was selected to match the internal Gecko version number of Mozilla Firefox 1.0.

Note (3): Mozilla 1.7.9 was cancelled. It was intended that Mozilla 1.7.9 would be released shortly after Mozilla Firefox 1.0.5 and Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.5. However, regressions were found in the 1.0.5 versions of Firefox and Thunderbird after they were released, so Mozilla 1.7.9 was cancelled. Mozilla 1.7.10 was released shortly after Firefox 1.0.6 and Thunderbird 1.0.6.

Pommern (ship)

Pommern, formerly Mneme (1903–1908), is an iron-hulled sailing ship. It is a four-masted barque that was built in 1903 at the J. Reid & Co shipyard in Glasgow, Scotland.

Pommern (German for Pomerania) is one of the Flying P-Liners, the famous sailing ships of the German shipping company F. Laeisz. In 1921 the Pommern had to be handed over to Greece as war reparation. In 1923 she was acquired by Gustaf Erikson of Mariehamn in the Finnish Åland archipelago, who used her to carry grain from the Spencer Gulf area in Australia to harbours in England or Ireland until the start of World War II.

On 2 March 1935, Pommern ran aground at Port Germein, South Australia, but she was refloated and returned to service.

After World War II, Pommern was donated to the town of Mariehamn as a museum ship. It is now a museum ship belonging to the Åland Maritime Museum and is anchored in western Mariehamn, Åland. A collection of photographs taken by Ordinary Seaman Peter Karney in 1933 showing dramatic pictures of life on a sailing ship rounding Cape Horn can be found in the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich.

A 1:35-scale model of Pommern hangs in Grundtvigs Kirke, in Copenhagen, Denmark, though on being donated to the church in 1939, the model was renamed Dronning Alexandrine in honour of Denmark's then- queen consort.

Pommern is so-called "bald-headed barque": it does not have royals over her upper topgallant sails. The topsails and topgallant sails have been divided in two (upper and lower) to ease their handling.

Pommern has the reputation of being a "lucky ship". She survived both world wars unscathed, lost only four crew members at sea on her journeys, and won the Great Grain Races twice, 1930 and 1937. "Pommern" is thus one of the most popular landmarks of Åland, and is visited by thousands of visitors annually.

In 2019 Pommern was placed in a purpose-built dock facility that can be pumped dry for periodic maintenance of the ship's hull.

Joël Bellassen

Joël "Marc" Bellassen or Bel Lassen (born 27 May 1950 in Sidi-bel-Abbès, French Algeria) is a former professor (Professeur des universités) of Chinese at Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales and the first Inspector General in the field of Chinese Language Teaching at the Ministry of Education (France). He has been well known in his field in France since he co-wrote the book Méthode d'Initiation à la Langue et à l'Écriture chinoises, which became one of the main textbooks used to teach Chinese in French secondary schools. He is now the President of the European Association for Chinese Teaching.

Biography
A graduate in Philosophy and Chinese at the Université Paris VIII - Vincennes, he departed for China in 1973, where he studied Philosophy and Chinese at the Beijing Languages Institute and Peking University from 1973 to 1975. Upon his return to France, he set about building the discipline of the teaching of Chinese language. He is particularly known for his pedagogical innovation of the 1980s when he conceived methods to teach Chinese language in primary education which included colour-coding Chinese characters to assist memorising of the four tones in Standard Mandarin (first tone: blue; second tone: yellow; third tone: black; fourth tone: red).

Bellassen taught at the École alsacienne in Paris, following by teaching posts at Université Paris VII and then at INALCO. In 2003, Bellassen received the Chinese Language and Culture prize from the Chinese Ministry of Education.

In 2006 he was made the first Inspector General in the field of Chinese Language Teaching at the French Ministry of National Education. His reference book in the field of Chinese teaching, Méthode d'initiation à la langue et à l'écriture chinoises (1989, ISBN 2-9504135-1-X, with the collaboration of Zhang Pengpeng, 张朋朋), became one of the main textbooks used to teach Chinese in French secondary schools and which mirrors the international approach of the "zi benwei" (字本位 Character-based constructional approach to Chinese). Several of his texts on teaching have been translated into English. He is one of the vice-presidents of the International Chinese Language Teachers Association.

Bellassen approach
Méthode d'Initiation broke the mould for Chinese textbooks by diving straight into the use of single Han characters (zh:字 zì) and only afterwards providing Chinese multi-characters words (zh:詞 cí). The general aim is to immerse the student in the language and culture, with the characters being seen as a primordial element of this.

One of the main aims of the textbook (which uses Simplified Chinese characters and Standard Chinese pronunciation) is to teach the student 400 essential characters that represent two-thirds of the vocabulary found in modern Chinese texts.

Bellassen and Zhang later went on to publish book 2 of the course: Perfectionnement à la Langue et à l'Écriture chinoises (1991, ISBN 2-9504135-2-8; and a double edition including book 1: ISBN 2-9504135-0-1). This sequel is even more centred on the characters, with even less grammatical explanation. It aims to teach a further 500 characters and consolidate the absorption of the first 400; these 900 essential characters together represent 91% of the vocabulary found in modern Chinese texts. Bellassen has published 40 books and more than 90 academic articles. Bellassen has appeared on French television to promote the study of the Chinese language.

Talk:Pricing

Untitled
I think this should be merged with price or moved to price (marketing). --Piotr Konieczny aka Pr The activity of pricing is worthy of attention in its own right. Granted the currest article is a dreadful mish mash. I will try to do some work on this in January - February of 2007. [[User:Steven Forth|Steven Forth 8 January 2007.

 * I agree with Steven Forth in that the activity of Pricing is a professional discipline in an of itself and worthy of an independent article. Although the pricing function in a business can sometimes be lumped in with Marketing or Accounting, it is increasingly separated into it's own function.  This can be a good thing because it serves as a counter-balance to Marketing's desire to "make the sale" (which can translate to pressure to lower the price) and Accounting's desire to "control cost and increase margins" (which can translate to pressure to increase the price).  Pricing professionals can use a variety of methods to analyze the market and arrive at higher quality pricing.Bmickler (talk) 17:40, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Suggestion... it may help to seperate the "Art and Science of Pricing" from what a price/pricing is.

Expansion request
It would be nice to have some general coverage of pay-as-you-go vs. all-you-can-eat pricing. I've read that consumers often prefer the latter, even if they would save money by using the former instead. -- Beland 03:09, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

This page is all over the place and, in some cases, way off in terms of actual theory. I will try to fix this up over the break. JustinFromAus (talk) 07:02, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Regarding the "all-you-can-eat" (or, generally speaking, "flat rate") pricing: there is an excellent paper by Andrew Odlyzko that describes the implications of flat rate in telecommunications from postage stamps to the Internet. GregorB (talk) 11:58, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Surge pricing vs. demand-based pricing
What is the difference? --Traal (talk) 05:31, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Partial clean-up
OK, so I've done a bit of an overhaul of this article. I've tried to attend to all the comments on the talk page.

I have imposed a structure by changing some headings and sub-headings, and also creating new headings where appropriate. This imposition of an overall structure was in response to one comment that the article was a 'mish-mash' of topics in a random sequence. I had to agree with those comments, but hopefully now it is not quite such a 'mish-mash'!

I have added a new section on pricing strategies and expanded the section on pricing tactics (previously called terminology) and tried to include more of the commonly used tactical approaches used in services, retail and B2B. In addition, unfocussed content that was formely in the tactics section has been moved to new headings including 'methods of setting prices' and 'theoretical considerations' of pricing. I have also included lots of images - all sourced from wikicommons and added wikilinks throughout the article in relevant places. Some copy editing has been done, but more is required to get this up to a reasonable standard. I have addressed the issue of surge pricing by including it in the section on peak/off peak pricing tactics. And, finally I have added copious numers of references - and therefore effected one good faith removal of a tag suggesting that the article contained original resesarch.

There are still many problems with this article, notably:

 * 1. Long unfocussed section on premium pricing - which seems to repeat content contained elsewhere in the article, as well as duplicating content on other pages.
 * 2. Methods of setting prices - is a bit confused as a section and has many glaring omissions
 * 3. Theoretical considerations - includes a lengthy discussion of premium pricing (for the third time in the same article) and is repetitive
 * 4. The lead section - appears to be completely unrelated to the article content

Wikipedia has such a proliferation of articles on pricing (See the See Also section in the article for an idea), it is difficult to know what to do next without duplicating content that has already been canvassed elsewhere. Suggestions would be most welcome. BronHiggs (talk) 08:27, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Suggested split
Since there are a lot of pricing tactics I don't think the length of that part of the page is not a problem. I would suggest to move the subjects of

 * Methods of setting prices
 * Theoretical considerations in pricing

to separate pages on ′′Price_setting′′ and ′′Pricing_theory′′ to improve the accessibility. Some thoughts on this?

Frank Vogelezang (talk) 07:52, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Support for previous comment
I agree that the headings "Methods of setting prices" and "Theoretical considerations in pricing" should be moved. I would prefer that they appear earlier in the article, preferably before the section on developing strategies and tactics. For the time being, however, I left these two sub-headings towards the end of the article because they are poorly written, poorly conceptualised and in places, lacking in references or high quality sources. I feel that they have the potential to put readers off. Until these two sub sections can be cleaned up, I would be inclined to leave them where they are. BronHiggs (talk) 05:06, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Refining section 3.28 Psychological Pricing
I think that there are too many psychological pricing strategies/tactics to confine this overview to just one.

Currently the overview section of Psychological Pricing provides an example of a psychological pricing strategy known as the "left digit effect" but gives little to no explanation about the effect/impact of psychological pricing strategies as a whole have on consumers.

I believe that this section would be more effective if it gave an overview speaking along the lines of how a small change in the price/location of a product/figure can change the readers evaluation of whether it is greater or smaller than the actual value

YoGo

YoGo is an Australian yoghurt dessert snack made by Bega Dairy & Drinks. It comes in a yoghurt tub filled with chocolate custard. Its mascot is the YoGo Gorilla (voiced by Paul Johnstone ), who mainly became popular from commercials throughout the 90s to the mid-2000s. There were calls in 2018 for the YoGo Gorilla to be removed from packaging in a push to reduce the promotion of unhealthy products to children.

Brownes Dairy
In Western Australia, a similar yoghurt variant, 'Yogo' is produced by Brownes Dairy. Unlike the original YoGo, the advertising for Brownes variant revolved around a purple bird with the slogan Gimme Yogo!.

Brownes Yogo is sold in chocolate flavour, but previously also included Strawberry, Banana, and creamy rice, as well as chocolate variants "Dirt Dessert" and a "Double Decker" range with chocolate and a "marshmallow" top, or strawberry and a "marshmallow" top — all of which were discontinued in 2013.

Strawberry and Banana flavoured Yogo returned to sale on 5 July 2021. Yogo was first sold in the 1980s and 1990s under the Peters "Peters Farm" brand.

Talk:Ford 335 engine

351 Cleveland in Australia
if memory serves, the 351 cleveland was released in the Australian Ford Falcon GTHO in 1969. In its 4V form used in the 1970 GTHO Phase 3, the output was found to be around 385 hp, althrough Ford Australia significantly underrated it.

351M and 400 connecting rods
FYI: Both 351M and 400 engines use the same conn rods. Pistons are taller (compresion height) in the 351M to make up the diff in stroke.

? The article says the block's deck height was raised to allow a longer stroke to get 400 cid,     then says '400 uses same rods as 351 to keep same rod-stroke ratio' ...but rod ratio is obviously changed by the 400's longer stroke! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.1.212.177 (talk) 12:58, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Australian Cleveland
The Phase 2 ho 1970 (xw model) used the cleveland rated 290 hp, phase 3 (xy model) was rated 300 hp as was the GT, but most locals best remember around 380 hp. Also the cleveland was used from 1970 - 1982 in Australia with some variations, 2v in Australia was equpipped with 2 or 4 barrel carburettor depending on model and options.

 * I don't have sources handy but I remember that when the USA stopped 351C production they sent the tooling to Australia where it was used up to 1982. The 351C received various modifications in Australia over the years and came in various forms. The top versions featured much stronger blocks (due to internal ribbing changes and changed wall thickness) and where often individually exported back to the US for racing (but not for production). Stepho-wrs (talk) 07:08, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

oiling system
"The oiling system has been widely criticized but has not proven any less reliable than the Windsor line." I remember reading (I think in a pantera tech article) that the oil system problems really stem from badly placed pickup tubes for cars cornering at high G's. Nothing to do with the engine itself. Maybe I'm generalizing a specific case... Tafinucane (talk) 07:57, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

-criticism relates to non-main oiling priority, whereas in the proper context of other engine designs, having the main & rod bearings fed oil first is a design strength found in other engines such as the Chevy small block, Rambler V8, but a weakness found in non-main priority engines such as '63-up Buick V8, '66-up AMC V8... valvetrain failure is less catastrophic than crank and rod failure! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.1.212.177 (talk) 13:09, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

M-code compression, 1971
The American V-8 Engine Data Book, Standard Catalog of V-8 Engines, Mustang Red Book, et c.--not to mention Ford's 1970 advertising--list compression as 9.5:1 in the 2V and 11.0:1 in the 4V.

No such thing as 400M
A lot of people believe there was an engine from Ford (FOMOCO) that was designated the 400M, but there is no such engine. The 351'M' series (worthy of note) was built FROM the 400 engine, and there is no part number or nomenclature specifically designating a "400M" engine or series in any of the original Ford parts listings. Although the block itself is considered an M series casting, the 400 was a stand alone engine and there was no accepted M (or "MODIFIED") version of it ever made or sanctioned at the factory. I have that directly from an individual who was a Ford Parts Manager for thirty years - and he was emphatic on that point... Thus the two engines (351M and 400) should never be confused, despite considerable references to the contrary. The term "400M" is a misnomer.

No such thing as 400M
Compelling as the previous argument may be, facts can not be disputed. I own a 1978 Ford Thunderbird, and on the valve cover the engine ID/emissions tags the engine type is listed "400M". The "M" in the casting does not stand for Modified, Midland, or anything else only just"M". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.253.135.116 (talk) 17:14, 11 February 2010 (UTC) FTE Greywolf (talk) 00:46, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

No such thing as 400M
I believe that the first comment is 100% correct. There is no such thing as a 400M. There IS a 351M/400, a.k.a the 351M. Not having seen your T-bird, I am willing to entertain the slim possibility that in the valve-cover tag, the block itself had become labeled as a 400M by 1978 as an individual part. No offense, but are you sure you're not misinterpreting the sticker? I just looked at the emissions control sticker on the SIDE of the valve cover on my '78 Lincoln 400 (the front sticker is gone), and it reads, "Engine Family: 351M/400," and, underneath, "Displacement: 6.6 liters/400 c.i." Operative word is "family."

Every good source I have read through the years emphasized that the "M" referred to the fact that the 400 engine had been modified to 351 cubic inches. As far as I can tell, the complete engine itself always was the "400" ... straight; no chaser.

Proposal to merge Ford Boss 351engine
It has been suggested that Ford Boss 351 engine be merged into this article.

 * Agreed. The Boss 351 article is not particularly large, so it will fit into the 335 article quite nicely. of course, the old Boss 351 article should be replaced with a link to Ford 335 engine.  Stepho   (talk) 06:17, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

 * That was my logic as well. I'll go ahead and merge it. --Sable232 (talk) 21:50, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Cam timing of the de tomaso patera versus other 351s
I really love the sound of the 351 in the pantera but on ford it sounds like it has an other cam timing because the sound is really drag racing like and the 351 from the mach 1 ford mustang is not! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saludacymbals (talk • contribs) 19:08, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I vaguely remember the Australian 351C used in the early 1970s Falcon GTHO had a revised cam that changed the firing order. I have another vague memory of the Pantera using the Australian 351C because Ford America had stopped making them. Also, racing V8 engines often used a flat-plane crank that was noisier and produced more vibration but also produced more power (ie bad for the street, good for racing). or it might simply be that the Pantera used a bigger exhaust with less restrictive mufflers. I don't have any references for this but perhaps it might provide a clue for an editor with better references.  Stepho  talk 23:45, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I am not familiar with the Aussie 351C's, but - if I am not mistaken - 1972-1974 Pantera 351C's are Mustang Q-code equivalents. Not sure if the '71s were M-code equivalent. Whatever it is, even a simple muffler swap on stock engines will change how either sounds - sheet metal has little bearing. The Pantera engine swapped into the Mustang with the same headers and mufflers will sound like the Pantera, and the Mustang engine swapped into the Pantera the same. Believe what you want, Saludacymbals, but it sounds as if you're looking for confirmation of bragging rights more than anything else. Cudak888 (talk) 23:33, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Small Block links
In the first sentence of the article, the term "small-block" links to the "small-block_V8" article, which then re-directs to the "Cylinder block" article. That seems ok.

But in the right-hand column, under the picture, under 'Combustion Chamber', the term "Small-block" links to the "Small-block" article, which then re-directs to the "Chevrolet small-block engine" article. I should think that is not appropriate.

There appears to be no article on "small block engines" (not brand specific), nor is there any clear definition of what a "small block" is (vs a "big block").

Also, I've notice a lack of information on the firing orders of the various engines. That might be a nice edition. Or is that too far down in the details? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.89.130.54 (talk) 22:09, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

335 ?
without reading through all the guff why does this start with 335 and then go straight to the first is a 351 and then after that it's bigger anyways ? geez, continuity Dave Rave (talk) 04:56, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

 * In the 2nd sentence of the first paragraph it says 'The "335" designation reflected Ford management's decision to produce an engine of that size (335 cubic inches) with room for expansion during its development'. But plans changed and they made a 351 cuin instead.  Stepho  talk 06:17, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

351M "modified"
It was recently added that the M in 351M stands for modified because it says so in the Master Parts Catalog. Can somebody please add a reference for an MPC (including page number) that says this. https://www.garysgaragemahal.com/351m-and-400.html also says this. I don't count this as a reliable source itself (WP:USERGEN) but you might be able to use it to find explicit references from MPC's he mentioned.  Stepho  talk 00:19, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Negativ

Maurits Robert Delchot better known by his stage name Negativ (born 8 September 1982) is a Dutch rapper, actor and radio broadcaster of Surinamese origin from Amsterdam-Oost.

Negativ became part of the rap formation D-Men. He has also acted films like Bolletjes Blues and Complexx. He also has his own weekly radio show where he DJs for Juize FM on Fridays.

Beginnings
Maurits was interested at a very young age in rap. He started rapping with a bunch of friends, including Keizer and others. He took part in fNally's band H.S.S. (Hinderlijke Straat Schoften). Soon he became known in the underground rap circuit taking part in several MC battles. One big battle faced him with Yukkie B, another rapper from Amsterdam-Oost (East Amsterdam). This led into several quarrels between the two rappers, after which a series of diss tracks were sent back and forth between the two.

2003-2005: In D-Men
Negativ met Lange Frans already part of a band D-Men alongside his brother Brutus and Bart Zeilstra known as Baas B, and convinced him to join D-Men in 2003, where he contributed greatly to the popular mixtapes of D-Men which were distributed free in the Amsterdam rap circuits, and downloadable online via the website www.straatremixes.tk On two tracks on this mixtape, he dissed the rapper B Yukkie. After the success of the De Straatremixes in 2003, two new mixtapes, De Straatremixes Deel 2 and De Straatremixes Deel 3 were released in 2004 again with contributions from Negativ.

Solo career
Shortly after the release of his single in January 2005, internal conflicts surfaced between Negativland and his two D-Men colleagues Lange Frans and Baas B who had now formed the duo Lange Frans & Baas B, so he decided to quit D-Men. A few weeks later, a Negativ made an online track and using an instrumental from 50 Cent, he dissed Lange Frans & Baas B. It was a time rampant of diss recordings including many from The Opposites, Rmxcrew and Tuindorp Hustler Click (THC) dissing other rap acts. Another battle ensued between Negativ and THC in which Negativ recorded "Dacht je nou echt" ("Did you really"). Rapper Heist Rockah also dissed Negativ back. Negative answers him with the song "Hou je bek" ("Shut up").

In 2005 Negativ took part also in the mixtape Urban Videoz and Straathits Volume 1 and Straathits Volume 2 with DJ MBA. On Loyalty Records he released the hit "Niets is wat het zijn moet" with Ebon-E. In 2005, he also had a joint single with Brutus in "Mijn Feestje"

In 2006 Negativ made his film debut, he plays the main character Spike in the movie Bolletjes Blues. For this role he was nominated for Golden Calf award at the Netherlands Film Festival in 2006.

In December 2006, Negativ received negative publicity after he was furious at the Tilburg festival threw a keyboard on the floor, resulting physical commotion to ensue.

In May 2008, during an interview with Propz Magazine, he confirmed that he had been recording tracks for the street remix 4 Mixtape, with other rappers Yes-R, Darryl, Lange Frans & Baas B. On September 26, 2008 mixtape Hinderlijk (Annoying) was released via Juize.FM radio station, also bringing the single "Money Money Buit Buit". The song also featured on a new Dutch television series called Flow. BUT eventually he withdrew his support from the project saying that there was no quarrel,but that "the only reason why I make music because I like and I do not do anything to make money or because it would be useful for my career."

He was offered a television role as a prisoner in the telefilm Skin, and he starred in the TV series Flow and entered into the program Back2School.

In 2009, he released a single "Skud Skuddem' with a remix single featuring Yes-R, Ali B, Sjaak. He also appeared in a TV documentary about angry people.

Record label Nindo
In 2010 he founded his own record label Nindo, where he performed his mixtape Hinderlijker. Rapper Keizer, an old friend from earlier days also signed to the label. Later signed Bokoesam to the label

Oradea International Airport

Oradea Airport is an international airport located 5 km southwest of Oradea in northwestern Romania, Bihor County, near one of the main road and rail border crossings to Hungary. Its location near the European route E60 and the future Transylvania motorway as well as the county's high tourist potential (Băile Felix hot springs, Padiș Natural Protected Area, etc.) have led to a double digit growth of passenger and cargo traffic for the past two years.

Since its renovation, the airport has been competing with the neighboring Debrecen Airport in Hungary.

Development and history
The civilian airport became operational in 1938. In 2009, Bihor County contracted consultancy services regarding the extension of the runway, the construction of a cargo terminal, and the renovation of the passenger terminal. The airport terminal is now renovated to European Union (and Schengen Area) standards, and offers various specific facilities and modern amenities such as car rental, exchange offices, various shops, etc.

Regarding the runway (and other connected facilities), the Bihor County Commission completed the final contractual formalities with the EU Commission representatives, as this type of infrastructure work was eligible for European funds. A €30 million financing agreement for the EU funds was signed on 7 February 2014. Works on the new 2100 m runway, two rapid-exit taxiways and other facility buildings began on 20 October 2014. Concerning the cargo area, the Bihor County Commission has budgeted the resources needed for the first part of the project.

The construction works for the runway modernization were completed on 30 October 2015.

Airlines and destinations
The following airlines operate regular scheduled and charter flights at Oradea Airport:

Military
Since April 2009, the NATO Centre of Excellence in Oradea is a member of NATO's Centres of Excellence (COE) network. All aircraft involved in Oradea's NATO Centre of Excellence activities utilize the Oradea International Airport.

Air ambulance
A MEDIVAC helicopter is based at Oradea International Airport. It is operated by the Pelican Hospital's Emergency Service. It serves Bihor, Sălaj, Satu Mare, Maramureș and Arad Counties Emergency Services. The air ambulance transports persons to Level I trauma centers located in Bucharest.

Accidents and incidents

 * On 4 February 1970, an Antonov 24B operated by TAROM crashed into the mountains near Oradea while inbound from Bucharest Otopeni International. 14 out of the 15 people on board died.
 * On 27 May 1971, an Ilyushin 14 operated by TAROM was hijacked after departure from Oradea. The hijackers demanded to go to Austria where they surrendered.
 * On 20 September 1994 an Antonov An-26 of the Romanian Air Force, registration 508 was written off in a takeoff accident at Oradea. During the takeoff roll, the flight engineer (student) retracted the landing gear before the captain's order.
 * On 16 January 2009, a Gulfstream G200, operated by Ion Ţiriac Air was damaged after it overran the runway. The aircraft suffered damage to the nose and the landing gear was broken. All 12 occupants were reported as having survived and suffered no injuries. The aircraft came to a halt near the fence surrounding the airport

Ground transportation
Oradea Transport Local provides a bus service (No. 28) between Oradea International Airport and the city centre of Oradea. The price of a ticket is 3 RON. The timetable of this route is adjusted to the arrivals and departures of the flights. Cabs/taxis are also available. The price of a ride to the city centre is about 30 RON.

The Story of the Amulet

The Story of the Amulet is a novel for children, written in 1906 by the English author Edith Nesbit.

It is the final part of a trilogy of novels that also includes Five Children and It (1902) and The Phoenix and the Carpet (1904). In it the children re-encounter the Psammead—the "it" in Five Children and It. As it no longer grants wishes to the children, however, its capacity is mainly advisory in relation to the children's other discovery, the Amulet, thus following a formula successfully established in The Phoenix and the Carpet.

Gore Vidal writes, "It is a time machine story, only the device is not a machine but an Egyptian amulet whose other half is lost in the past. By saying certain powerful words, the amulet becomes a gate through which the children are able to visit the past or future. ... a story of considerable beauty."

Plot summary

At the beginning of this book, the journalist father of Robert, Anthea, Cyril, and Jane has gone overseas to cover the war in Manchuria. Their mother has gone to Madeira to recuperate from an illness, taking with her their younger brother, the Lamb. The children are living with an old Nurse (Mrs Green) who has set up a boarding house in central London. Her only other boarder is a scholarly Egyptologist who has filled his bedsit with ancient artefacts. During the course of the book, the children get to know the "poor learned gentleman" and befriend him and call him Jimmy.

Nurse's house is in Fitzrovia, the district of London near the British Museum, which Nesbit accurately conveys as having bookstalls and shops filled with unusual merchandise. In one of these shops the children find the Psammead. It had been captured by a trapper, who failed to recognise it as a magical being. The terrified creature cannot escape, for it can only grant wishes to others, not to itself. Using a ruse, the children persuade the shopkeeper to sell them the "mangy old monkey", and they free their old friend.

Guided by the Psammead, the children purchase an ancient amulet in the shape of an Egyptian Tyet (a small amulet of very similar shape to the picture can be seen in the British Museum today) which should be able to grant them their hearts' desire: the safe return of their parents and baby brother. But this amulet is only half of an original whole. By itself, it cannot grant their hearts' desire. Yet it can serve as a portal, enabling time travel to find the other half.

In the course of the novel the Amulet transports the children and the Psammead to times and places where the Amulet has previously existed, in the hope that – at some point in time – the children can find the Amulet's missing half. Among the ancient realms they visit are Babylon, Egypt, the Phoenician city of Tyre, a ship to "the Tin Islands" (ancient Cornwall), and Atlantis just before the flood. In one chapter, they meet Julius Caesar on the shores of Gaul, just as he has decided that Britain is not worth invading. Jane's childish prattling about the glories of England persuades Caesar to invade after all.

In each of their time-jaunts, the children are magically able to speak and comprehend the contemporary language. Nesbit acknowledges this in her narration, without offering any explanation. The children eventually bring "Jimmy" (the "Learned Gentleman") along with them on some of their time trips. For some reason, Jimmy does not share the children's magical gift of fluency in the local language: he can only understand (for example) Latin based on his own studies.

In one chapter the children also come to the future, visiting a British utopia in which H. G. Wells is venerated as a reformer. Wells and Nesbit were both members of the Fabian political movement, as was George Bernard Shaw, and this chapter in The Story of the Amulet is essentially different from all the other trips in the narrative: whereas all the other adventures in this novel contain scrupulously detailed accounts of past civilisations, the children's trip into the future represents Nesbit's vision of Utopia. This episode can be compared to many other visions of utopian socialist futures published in that era; Nesbit's is notable in that it concentrates on how the life of children at school would be radically different, with economic changes only appearing briefly in the background. (It seems somewhat akin to William Morris's News from Nowhere.) It also mentions a pressing danger of Edwardian England: the number of children wounded, burned, and killed each year. (This concern was addressed in the Children Act 1908 (8 Edw. 7. c. 67), and later in the Children's Charter.)

Literary significance and criticism
The Story of the Amulet profits greatly from Nesbit's deep research into ancient civilisations in general and that of ancient Egypt in particular. The book is dedicated to Sir E. A. Wallis Budge, the translator of the Egyptian Book of the Dead and Keeper of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities of the British Museum, with whom she met to discuss the history of the ancient Near East while writing the book. The Amulet is sentient and is named Ur Hekau Setcheh; this is a genuine Ancient Egyptian name. The hieroglyphics written on the back of the Amulet are also authentic.

Amulet coincidentally appeared the same year as the first instalment of another story involving children viewing different periods of history, Rudyard Kipling's Puck of Pook's Hill.

During their adventure in Babylon, the children attempt to summon a Babylonian deity named Nisroch but are temporarily unable to recall his name: Cyril, in an obvious in-joke, refers to the god as "Nesbit". Author E. Nesbit was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and was knowledgeable about ancient religions; she may well have been aware that there was indeed an ancient deity named Nesbit: this was the Egyptian god of the fifth hour of the day. In F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre's novel The Woman Between the Worlds (1994, taking place in 1898), E. Nesbit briefly appears in the narrative, dressed in costume as the Egyptian god Nesbit.

The chapter The Queen in London contains broadly negative stereotypes of stockbrokers clearly intended to be Jewish: they are described as having "curved noses"; they have Jewish names such as Levinstein, Rosenbaum, Hirsh and Cohen; and their dialogue is rendered in an exaggerated dialect of Yiddish-inflected English. They are depicted as shuddering at the thought of poor people eating good food, and then they are massacred by the queen's guards. Another character in the book, the shopkeeper Jacob Absalom, is hinted at being Jewish and is depicted negatively.

Allusions and references in The Story of the Amulet
The chapter "The Queen in London" satirises contemporary occult belief. A journalist mistakes the Queen of Babylon for the Theosophist Annie Besant (like Nesbit, a socialist and social reformer) and mentions Theosophy in reference to (to him) inexplicable events taking place in the British Museum). "Thought-transference" (telepathy) also gets a mention as part of an elaborate and mistaken rationalisation by the Learned Gentleman of Anthea's stories of the Queen and ancient Babylon.

The eponymously named ninth chapter, which takes place in Atlantis, though primarily inspired by Plato's dialogue Critias, also borrows such details from C. J. Cutcliffe Hyne's novel The Lost Continent: The Story of Atlantis (1899), such as the presence of mammoths, dinosaurs, and a volcanic mountain on the island.

The final chapter in which the lonely Learned Gentleman and the quixotic ancient Egyptian priest fuse into a single being, with the ritual being overseen by Anthea, is one of the most stirring and unusual moments in the book. It almost appears to represent a marriage, not just of intellect and ancient knowledge, but also of love.

Influence on other works
Several elements in The Story of the Amulet were borrowed by C. S. Lewis for his Narnia series, particularly The Horse and His Boy (1954) and The Magician's Nephew (1955). The Calormene god Tash closely resembles the deity Nisroch, whose name may also have influenced the title of the Calormene king, the Tisroc. Lewis's Tisroc, like Nesbit's King of Babylon, must have his name followed by "may he live forever", and the appearance of Jadis, Queen of Charn, in London in The Magician's Nephew, and the havoc she causes there, closely parallel the Queen of Babylon's eventful journey to London.

In the third canto of his poem "Villon" (written 1925, published 1930), British modernist poet Basil Bunting stated he took the image of two drops of quicksilver (mercury) merging from Nesbit's The Story of the Amulet and described her work as the "pleasantest reading of my childhood".

LoGDnet will suffice
In a fit of confusion, I managed to nuke the list of third-party game servers from this article. I think I did have some reason for this. Oh yeah... If you have a third-party server or module that has contributed some massive, complex innovation to the LoGD community as a whole, and it's really worth the time to describe it, go ahead and talk about it. But let's not fill "External links" with just links to random servers. --Wwwwolf 11:21, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Possible link rot headache when there's zillions of servers listed.
 * 2) Hard to assess the "worthiness" of the server.
 * 3) There's already a perfectly good list of game servers at the LoGDNet.
 * 4) I was under the impression Wikipedia was not meant to be an open topical web directory.

Ending of code maintenance
Someone with more knowledge about the event in question than me should post something about how the developers are leaving the project noted at their main site and the modding site they run. I hear after version 1.0.4 or so they are "giving up the reins". It's been reported on a few blogs I visit so I figure it's wiki worthy history of some sort. -Moocats 19:04, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Oh for heck's sake. I have better things to do with my life than debate whether or not an edit was malicious. My comment didn't and doesn't hint at any such thing. Don't put words into my mouth, and stop attacking me.  smoddy 13:04, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. A search for "Nicholas Bouios" received no Google hits. HIH collapsed in 2001. While there was a Royal Commission, this bloke (14 at the time) had no connection with it. Possibly the only true statement in the article is that he likes soccer, which isn't verifiable nor is it notable. Capitalistroadster 14:30, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. As a student in 2003, he was given a VCE High Achiever award by the Premier of the Victoria government. That's it. The rest of the article appears to be a tissue of lies. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:44, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete mostly unverifiable. JamesBurns 04:55, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Google test doesnt always work. Lot of work happens behind the scenes when academics are involved in public policy. Kind of like many top-notch economists working in FedReserve or helping the treasury of the country advising Governemt without anyone knowing about it. There are few articles in the age on him. Thi is one place google test doesnt work. 08:29, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.238.89.168 (talk • contribs) 08:29, 12 Jun 2005 UTC
 * Delete. Received one notable award. Has apparently done nothing else of note.  Socks also make me suspicious. --TenOfAllTrades(talk) 17:24, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - Definately notable but needs serious clean up. Article makes it look like he was a superstar. That newspaper begs to differ. Did some minor things to helpthough - nothing that saved Australia (my opinion) Planetpjs 01:27, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - nobody supported by sockpuppets. - Skysmith 08:57, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Vanity, unsourced, non-notable in any case. Quale 19:49, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
