Talk:Quorum

Referenda
I think "quorum" applies to referendums as well as "deliberative bodies"; see Talk:Referendum#Quorum. Jostens 08:03, 14 Jun 2008

Globalise
Though the concept of Quorom is not different in other parts of the world, all the exemplar material relates to geographically specific usage. Indeed, before my edit the phrase quorom-busting was seen to refer to a global perspective - it is not generally used in the United Kingdom. I would like to see examples of how quorum is worked out in different parliamentry assmeblies and other deliberative bodies. Davidkinnen 16:42, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

I merged in sub-quorum but we need verification etc. RJFJR 16:08, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Different meaning?
We work on aerobes and anaerobes, on methanogens and metallogens, on genes and genomes, on quorum sensing, global signaling pathways, symbionts, pathogens and biofilm communities. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Microbes! --www.micro.cornell.edu//

i was wondering if anybody knew of this meaning, or if it is the same one. Meommy89 21:29, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

The definition is wrong. Quorum does not just apply to legislative assemblies as is implied.

quorum /ˈkwɔːrəm/ noun 1. a minimum number of members in an assembly, society, board of directors, etc, required to be present before any valid business can be transacted: the quorum is forty, we don't have a quorum Word Origin 1425-75; < Latin quōrum of whom; from a use of the word in commissions written in Latin specifying a quorum

I also have a Ph.D, try not to get ahead of yourself when trying to define something you are not in or have personal knowledge about. This website is to help people understand the world as it was, is and will be. Do not try and prove you know something for which you do not. The definition you are trying to imply is being adapted from its original form into a new complex form. However, that does not make the current definition wrong or its use wrong. As in everything evolutions plays a part, try to remember that when you post a comment.Cristykay (talk) 04:17, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Quorum-busting

 * voters who are in favor of the status quo are able to use an obstructive strategy called, in the United States, quorum-busting. If a significant number of voters choose not to be present for the vote, the vote will fail due to lack of quorum, and the status quo will remain.

If quorum is a majority, and the vote (presumably) requires a majority, then how is this more effective than voting "Nay"? Unless quorum requires a stricter majority than the vote does, of course. 212.121.153.12 (talk) 12:17, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

 * There are organizations that only require a majority vote of the members present to make some change. In order to have a vote, there must be a minimum number of members present, a quorum.  If those for the status quo know that they are going to lose, but without them there won't be enough for the change to constitute a quorum, then they don't show up to make the quorum and the change can't take place. — Val42 (talk) 04:32, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Can someone please add INDIANA to the quorum-busting main article section. Excerpt: Seats on one side of the Indiana House were nearly empty today as House Democrats departed the the state rather than vote on anti-union legislation. A source tells the Indianapolis Star that Democrats are headed to Illinois, though it was possible some also might go to Kentucky. They need to go to a state with a Democratic governor to avoid being taken into police custody and returned to Indiana. http://www.indystar.com/article/20110222/NEWS/110222004/House-Democrats-flee-Indiana-stop-votes LeahBethM (talk) 19:57, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

The explanation of a Qurom is wrong. It takes a 2/3 sitting House or Senate for any legislature to meet and discuss the agenda for the day. That is why, when the opposition can not beat a piece of legislation by a plain majority vote, the opposition's only recourse is the "Quorum Break." The break that took place in the Texas Legislature in 2003 is also incorrect in its discription of the Democratic House Members actions. They met at midnight the night prior to the vote on the state's redistricting plan and took a vote on what they would do. Leticia Van DePutte, Texas State Legislative Representative Democrat from San Antonio at the time, took the vote. Then they immedetialy left, but by a rented bus (not a plane) and drove to the Oklahoma border, where they crossed. Also, where they stayed. Warrants were issued. However, not all members that broke were in Oklahoma. At least 7 were still in the State of Texas. A warrant issued by any State related to the issue of a Quorum break is not valid in another state, but is only valid within the issuing state lines. At least 5 of the members were granted a "amnesty" by the Speaker of the House, Tom Craddick of Midland. He knew at all times were these members were, however, because of their loyalty to him at the time he left them alone. However, one member, State Represesentative Craig Eigland, from Houston, whoes wife had just given birth to twins that were in ICU was not allowed such curtesy. The Texas Rangers, who were charged with finding all members within the state not loyal to Speaker Craddick, were constantly in the ICU ward and in the ward where his wife was also recuperating for the danger her and their childerns lives had indured during the delivery. Since the stess of the situation was putting a strain on Rep. Eiland's family the hospital finally forced the Texas Rangers to leave the hospital or they would be forced to get a federal injuction on their action for it was causing undo stress and pain to an already dangerous situation. Everything that I know is first hand knowledge from the members themselves, although I do know that a puplication, called the Qourom Report has quite a few details. Cristykay (talk) 03:48, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

There was also a break about 15 years earlier in the Texas Senate and they were called the Killer Bee's. I will need to research it to get all the details.Cristykay (talk) 03:48, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Somene also needs to put in about Abraham Lincoln breaking a Qurom by climbing out a window after the doors were locked when he was a State Rerpresentative in Illinois, where he got elected on a pro-slaver platform. Cristykay (talk) 03:48, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Disappearing quorum
It seems to me that the article on the disappearing quorum is too short and does not merit a stand-alone article. It is not like the quorum article is too long... KarlFrei (talk) 12:27, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Hong Kong

 * Quorum-busting and attempts to thwart it are also a common feature during the annual motion debate related to 1989 Tiananmen massacre moved by a self-professed[citation needed] pro-democracy Member. The quorum is called to be counted from time to time by the Member's comrades, in order to force the pro-Beijing camp to keep some members in the chamber.

Ignoring the odd use of comrades, I'm confused by this. Isn't the lack of quorum what the pro-Beijing members want so the debate is shut down? So at most they would need to keep one member in as per the earlier examples, to call for a quorum count since it's possible no one else may do so. Nil Einne (talk) 15:57, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Pluralization
The current article explains that "quora" is not a valid pluralization of "quorum" but it does not mention what the correct pluralization is. If the article is going to discuss how not to pluralize then it should at least mention how to do so correctly. Could someone with this knowledge add a sentence to the introduction? Nippashish (talk) 21:06, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

- I'll add my own "amen" to that! Why bother telling us the "wrong plural," when you can't be bothered to tell us the "right plural?" That just comes across as pedantic, show-offy, and even (IMHO) borderline rude. The Grand Rascal (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 10:07, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Also, it's amusing that this page uses the word "quora" later on in the article. Probably should be switched to the correct pluralization. 23:14, 16 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Opensourcejunkie (talk • contribs)

If we accept that "quora" is not the correct plural form of "quorum", although its use seems to be widespread, quorum would follow the normal rules for forming plurals in English. The plural of quorum would therefore be "quorums". Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 23:15, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

US-centric
Yet again, a Wiki article written as though the world consists of the USA, with a few other countries mentioned at the end. The first half of the article which presnets as a general overview is in fact all about Robert's Rules, a source hardly known or used outside the USA and all examples are from the USA. Fine, but all this material then belongs under the country heading, USA. Either Wiki is an genuinely international resource or it is the private preserve of Americans.Unraed (talk) 17:43, 13 June 2012 (UTC)unraed
 * If you can provide reliable, secondary sources for the usage of "Quorum" in Tahiti, please be my guest and add them. It's a systemic bias, not malice that leads to the Amerocentric tone. A problem, but not one to be upset at editors over. Achowat (talk) 17:47, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I have to admit that as a visitor from the UK, I had no idea why "Roberts Rules" was mentioned in almost every paragraph like it was the de facto standard. The article on RR clearly states that it's entirely US-Centric. I believe this one, which seems to derive almost entirely from it, should too. just my 2p 86.173.12.117 (talk) 23:58, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, what's the de facto standard for Rules for social clubs in your part of the world? Tell me and I'll buy the source and add the text. Achowat (talk) 12:45, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Although Robert's Rules undoubtedly constitute a valuable resource for anybody trying to run a meeting, it is not a publication widely available in booksstores outside North America, nor is the authority of Robert's Rules generally recognized. The UK parliament has its own influential rules of procedure and the procedural rules of government bodies both national and local are established by both statute and custom. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 23:25, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

US 501(C)(3) organizations
The final paragraph of the United States section of this article states, "The Internal Revenue Service requires that non-profit organizations that receive tax exemptions under Section 501(c)(3) have a quorum present at their required yearly meeting. If it is not, then not only can they not vote, but they must also have another meeting so that it then takes longer for them to make decisions."

This statement ends with opinionated whining, so the second sentence should definitely be removed.

I did a bit of research, and determined that regular meetings of any kind are not required for 501(C)(3) organizations, not being mentioned at all in http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p4221pc.pdf and other documents on the IRS website. Various 3rd-party legal guides indicate that 501(C)(3) Corporations may be required to hold an annual meeting, but this is only mentioned in connection with non-profit corporations, not all organizations, and the wording appears to indicate that this is either related to varying state laws, or varying types of non-profit corporations, or both.

There is absolutely no mention at all of requirements of a quorum (which is a subjective definition in any organization), or even majorities or voting. A non-profit organization may have their own bylaws or policies requiring this, but that's up to each organization.

I am therefore deleting this paragraph, as it appears to be entirely false. 97.121.43.81 (talk) 19:32, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

U.S.-specific material and robert's rules
I have moved the material pertaining to various interesting quorum games in U.S. legislatures to the U.S. section. Also, the material inappropriately defined quorum in terms of Robert's Rules, whereas those rules only propose one way to determine it. By editing the heading this is made more clear. -- cmhTC 00:57, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

SB20

The SB20 is a one-design class of sailboat commonly used for racing. Marketed and distributed by Sportsboat World the boat was designed by Tony Castro and launched in 2002.

The SB20 was originally called the Laser SB3, and was marketed and distributed by Laser Performance under license from the designer. This licence ended in 2012. The yacht is an open keelboat, strict One-Design and is designed for racing with a crew of 3 or 4 whose maximum weight must not exceed 270 kg. With a high aspect ratio keel with a very high ballast ratio the yacht is very stable, but also quite fast due to the substantial sail area. The SB20 is unique in that it does not allow hiking, using a small stainless steel bar to prevent hiking by the crew, this allows competitive crews of all shapes, sizes and ages. Fast Fun and Affordable this boat rules are so strict that it does not allow "money" to dictate the results.

The majority of boats are located in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, Australia, France, Holland, Singapore and Italy and the class has attracted considerable support. in 2019 there is a growing fleet in the UAE and Turkey. In 2005 the SB20 became the second largest one-design fleet at the Cowes Week regatta with 66 entries. In 2006 it became the largest fleet with 102 entries pushing the XOD into second place, an accolade it held for two further years.

The Sb20 Class is also unique in that since 2018 you can rent a race-ready boat to participate in regattas.

In 2020 the first SB20 Carbon version especially built and set-up for ORC and IRC racing will be launched.

There are over 800 boats worldwide, sailed in over 20 countries. Growth in fleets internationally enabled the class to successfully apply to World Sailing for the right to host a world championship, the first of which was hosted in Dublin during 2008.

Yuhanna ibn Bukhtishu

Yuhanna ibn Bukhtishu (Johannes Bukhtishu) was a 9th-century Persian or Syriac physician from Khuzestan, Persia. Yuhanna ibn Bukhtishu‘ (or Bakhtishu‘) was a member of a prominent family of Nestorian Christian physicians originally from Jundishapur in Khuzastan who worked in Baghdad from the 8th through the 10th centuries. The name is composite of middle Persian Bukht (saved) and Syriac Ishu' (Jesus), which means saved by Jesus or one whose saviour is Jesus.

Yuhanna ibn Bukhtishu was the illegitimate son of Jabril Ibn Bukhtishu (d. 870CE) who was physician to the caliphs al-Ma'mun, al-Wathiq and Al-Mutawakkil in Baghdad.

Ibn Bukhtishu‘, who worked in Baghdad about 892CE, is known to have written a treatise on astrological knowledge necessary for a physician, but the treatise is now lost. It is uncertain whether he was in fact the author of a treatise on materia medica that is attributed to him in the extant copies, of which The National Library of Medicine has one.

Capnography is also used for breathing retraining on the basis that end tidal volume of CO2 is affected by chronic hyperventilation. Some practitioners of the Buteyko breathing method, or variations thereof, use it as a biofeedback mechanism to slow breathing rate and volume. The health benefits of such a practice are numerous.

UCF WikiMedicine Project
Hello! I am a 4th year medical student enrolled in Wikiproject and am going into emergency medicine. I am excited to contribute more information and grow the Capnography page. I would like to expand on the introduction to explain the role of capnography within the normal mechanics of breathing and link that to the wiki page on Respiration (physiology). Further I would like to explain why capnography is distinct from pulse oximetry (oxygenation) with a brief comparison. I would also like to expand the section of medical use to include its role in the Intensive Care Unit to prevent medical complications. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eliaseid95 (talk • contribs) 17:50, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Peer Review
Great work on a difficult subject! I have a few comments that may make it easier your readers.

Introduction: - consider taking out "partial pressure of" in the first sentence (unless it is key to understanding capno). Additionally, "respiratory gases" may be confusing. Consider using "air during inhalation and exhalation." - consider clarifying second sentence. The way it is written is mildly vague. Was it developed for anesthesia and ICU? or are you trying to say these are current uses? - For the third and fourth sentence, consider moving out of the intro and place it before medical uses. Place the second paragraph here and you should be good to go. My reasoning is because the third and fourth sentences explain the graph, but is not necessarily important to introduce to the reader this early on. - - third sentence. consider changing to "The measurement of CO2 in a patient on capnography is usually displayed as a graph of expired and inspired CO2 plotted against time or expired volume." - fourth sentence - "When rebreathing systems are used, capnography can be instrumental in monitoring the patient's respiratory status as the tool can measure end-total CO2, a metric particularly utilized in emergency medicine and anesthesia care."

Medical Use: - great content, but I feel as though it is necessary to go sentence by sentence and ensure the words written mean precisely what you are trying to say. I feel like as a person in medicine, I know what you are trying to say in this section, but to the layperson it is difficult to digest. Although this is a difficult subject, I think word choice will be your best friend.

Applications: - I think it might add to the context of your article if you write examples after your bullets like "confirmation of ETT placement - after intubation, rise in end title CO2 will be detected"

Anesthesia: - it may be important to give context to what anesthesia is such as explaining that when patients undergo general anesthesia, their breathing must be augmented with a ventilator, etc. - it is also important to add references to the first 2 paragraphs. Finding a paper explaining end-title CO2 in anesthesia may work well!

EMS: - lots of great information! This all would be augmented by consistent citations. For example, where did you find the information that paramedics are now beginning to monitor ETO2?

RN: - citations, but other than that, I love the application!

Diagnostic Usage: - consider adding citation if you can find it. Again, I recognize it's a difficult topic with not too much literature, but it would enhance the article if you cited things.

Working Mechanism: - love the explanation! Good citations!

Capnogram Model: - it's nice and comprehensive. Love the equation and explanation of variables.

Talk:Skan

Skan does not imply or describe a male creator in particular, rather the maker of makers, the mover of movers.

The source for the previous version of this page was "The Lakota Sweat Lodge Cards: Spiritual Teachings of the Sioux." The order of creation described was exactly the opposite of that documented elsewhere in reliable and credible literature. I have replaced it with a better academic definition of the word, which is short for Taku Skan Skan, and the proper description of the order of creation, in the Lakota Creation Myth. Shootingstar (talk) 11:35, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Oncamera seems to have reverted the page so that it now doesn't have the expanded definition of the word Taku Skan Skan, AND changed the order of creation back to the incorrect version, BUT kept the correct order I added in the last change. Inyan was the "Creator." The references document that account. Skan was created AFTER Inyan and Maka, and Wi the sun was last. This is paradoxical, but that is why it is so memorable. Wi is the paramount Wakan Tanka Waste, but came last. Shootingstar (talk) 00:29, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Gervase of Canterbury

Gervase of Canterbury (Latin: Gervasus Cantuariensis or Gervasius Dorobornensis) (c. 1141 – c. 1210) was an English chronicler.

Life
If Gervase's brother Thomas, who like himself was a monk of Christ Church, Canterbury, was Thomas of Maidstone, they came of a Kentish family. St. Thomas of Canterbury received his religious profession on 16 February 1163, and perhaps then ordained him. He was certainly one of the monks who buried the saint after his martyrdom, on 29 December 1170.

Historical records show that Gervase took a prominent part in the disputes between the monks and Archbishop Baldwin (1185-1191) and was one of the monks sent to announce to the archbishop an appeal to the pope. In 1189 he was again one of a deputation sent to lay the matter before King Richard I. As yet, Gervase, though one of the senior monks, had held no prominent office, but about this time he was made sacristan, for in 1193 he attended the new archbishop, Hubert Walter, in that capacity. He probably ceased to hold this office in 1197 when he speaks of one "Felix", as sacristan.

The rest of Gervase's life is obscure. He was still writing in 1199 and there are slight indications in another chronicle, the Gesta Regum, that he continued to write till 1210, when a sudden change in style and arrangement point to a new chronicler. His death may therefore be assumed in or soon after that year. Gervase has occasionally been confused with others of the same name, notably with Gervase of S. Ceneri, and thus he is described as prior of Dover by Michel Jean Joseph Brial, which is impossible on chronological grounds. Thomas Duffus Hardy identified him with Gervase of Chichester, but William Stubbs argued against this theory, as also against confusing him with Gervase of Melkley.

Gervase and the Moon
Five monks from Canterbury reported to the abbey's chronicler, Gervase, that shortly after sunset on 18 June 1178, they saw "the upper horn [of the moon] split in two." Furthermore, Gervase writes, "From the midpoint of the division a flaming torch sprang up, spewing out, over a considerable distance, fire, hot coals and sparks. Meanwhile the body of the Moon which was below writhed, as it were in anxiety, and to put it in the words of those who reported it to me and saw it with their own eyes, the Moon throbbed like a wounded snake. Afterwards it resumed its proper state. This phenomenon was repeated a dozen times or more, the flame assuming various twisting shapes at random and then returning to normal. Then, after these transformations, the Moon from horn to horn, that is along its whole length, took on a blackish appearance". In 1976 the geologist Jack B. Hartung proposed that this described the formation of the crater Giordano Bruno.

Modern theories predict that a (conjectural) asteroid or comet impact on the Moon would cause a plume of molten matter rising up from the surface, which is consistent with the monks' description. In addition, the location recorded fits in well with the crater's location. Additional evidence of Giordano Bruno's youth is its spectacular ray system: because micrometeorites constantly rain down, they kick up enough dust to quickly (in geological terms) erode a ray system. So it can be reasonably hypothesized that Giordano Bruno was formed during the span of human history, perhaps in June 1178.

Literature
The works of Gervase consist of: (1) The Chronicle, covering the period from 1100 to 1199. It was first printed by Twysden in Historiae Anglicanae Scriptores Decem (London, 1652). (2) The Gesta Regum, which is in part an abridgment of the earlier chronicle, and from the year 1199 an independent source of great value for the early years of John's reign. (3) Actus Pontificum Cantuariensis Ecclesia, a history of the archbishops of Canterbury to the death of Hubert Walter in 1205, also printed by Twysden with the chronicle. (4) Mappa Mundi, a topographical work with lists of bishoprics and ecclesiastical foundations in the various counties of England, Wales, and part of Scotland. The works of Gervase were published in the Rolls Series in 1879–1880 under the editorship of Dr. Stubbs, whose introduction has been the groundwork of all subsequent accounts of Gervase.

Modern representations
A play by Dorothy L. Sayers, The Zeal of Thy House is based on Gervase's account of the injury and resignation of William of Sens.
