TRADIC

The TRADIC (for TRAnsistor DIgital Computer or TRansistorized Airborne DIgital Computer) was the first transistorized computer in the USA, completed in 1954.

The computer was built by Jean Howard Felker of Bell Labs for the United States Air Force while L.C. Brown ("Charlie Brown") was a lead engineer on the project, which started in 1951. The project initially examined the feasibility of constructing a transistorized airborne digital computer. A second application was a transistorized digital computer to be used in a Navy track-while-scan shipboard radar system. Several models were completed: TRADIC Phase One computer, Flyable TRADIC, Leprechaun (using germanium alloy junction transistors in 1956) and XMH-3 TRADIC. TRADIC Phase One was developed to explore the feasibility, in the laboratory, of using transistors in a digital computer that could be used to solve aircraft bombing and navigation problems. Flyable TRADIC was used to establish the feasibility of using an airborne solid-state computer as the control element of a bombing and navigation system. Leprechaun  was a second-generation laboratory research transistor digital computer designed to explore direct-coupled transistor logic (DCTL). The TRADIC Phase One computer was completed in January 1954.

The TRADIC Phase One computer has been claimed to be the world's first fully transistorized computer, ahead of the Mailüfterl in Austria or the Harwell CADET in the UK, which were each completed in 1955. In the UK, the Manchester University Transistor Computer demonstrated a working prototype in 1953 which incorporated transistors before TRADIC was operational, although that was not a fully transistorized computer because it used vacuum tubes to generate the clock signal. The 30 watts of power for the 1 MHz clock in the TRADIC was also supplied by a vacuum tube supply because no transistors were available that could supply that much power at that frequency. If the TRADIC can be called fully transistorized while incorporating vacuum tubes, then the Manchester University Transistor Computer should also be, in which case that is the first transistorized computer and not the TRADIC. If neither can be called fully transistorized, then the CADET was the first fully transistorized computer in February 1955.

Flyable TRADIC also incorporated a single high-power output vacuum-tube amplifier to supply clock power to the system. The designers originally devised a system clock using a crystal-controlled transistor oscillator driving a multitude of transistor amplifiers because each transistor was too low-powered, but since the phase shift of the amplifiers could not be controlled to the required tolerances this had to be abandoned. So by the same criterion of incorporating vacuum tubes the flyable TRADIC was either not a fully transistorized computer, or followed the Manchester University Transistor Computer in 1953. In contrast, the operating requirements for the Flyable TRADIC included performing across a wide temperature range of -55 °C (-67 °F) to +55 °C (+131 °F).

The TRADIC Phase One Computer had 684 Bell Labs Type 1734 Type A cartridge transistors and 10,358 germanium point-contact diodes. The TRADIC was small and light enough to be installed in a B-52 Stratofortress. It was a general-purpose computer. Programs for the TRADIC Phase One Computer were introduced via a removable plugboard, while the Flyable TRADIC used a Mylar sheet with punched holes — a system reminiscent of punched-card storage. TRADIC could perform a million logical operations every second, close to, but not as fast as the vacuum tube computers of the day, using its 1 MHz clock. It operated on less than 100 watts of power and it was much more reliable than its vacuum tube predecessors.

Talk:The Mekon

The Mekon and the Treens
I'm not sure who suggested that the two articles on Treens and The Mekon be merged, as there's nothing recorded here. My view is that the Mekon was a strong major character and deserves his own article. I'm not sure whether the Treens merit their own article, but, as part of the Dan Dare mythology, could be better merged with the article on Sondar. – Agendum 12:14, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I don't know much about either article, but it looks like each one has enough info to warrant having it's own title. Removing the merge proposal. -- DSGruss 01:23, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

2000AD Mekon
I'm not sure why it was changed, but is it possible to get a picture of the Mekon as he appeared in 2000AD? If I remember correctly he looked somewhat different, his body looked larger and even more atrophied, and his head was larger as well as spotted. Douglasnicol 23:55, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

If I was a Mekon
The song "If I was a Mekon" is about the band named "The Mekons". So the reference is indirect.

KQNT

KQNT (590 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Spokane, Washington. It is one of the oldest radio stations in Washington, going on the air in 1922 in Seattle. KQNT offers a news/talk format and is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. The studios and offices are on East Sprague Street in Spokane.

KQNT is powered at 5,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna. The transmitter is on East Sands Road in Spokane Valley, Washington.

Programming
All of KQNT's weekday shows are from nationally syndicated hosts: Glenn Beck, Clay Travis & Buck Sexton, Sean Hannity, Joe Pags, Jesse Kelly, Clyde Lewis, Coast to Coast AM with George Noory and This Morning, America's First News with Gordon Deal.

Weekends feature shows on money, health, home improvement, real estate and law. Weekend syndicated shows include At Home with Gary Sullivan, Bill Handel on the Law and Sunday Night Live with Bill Cunningham as well as repeats of weekday shows. Most hours begin with world and national news from Fox News Radio.

KHQ in Seattle

KQNT's first license, with the randomly assigned call letters KHQ, was issued to Louis Wasmer in Seattle on February 28, 1922. KHQ broadcast on the 360 meter (833 kHz) "entertainment" wavelength. Wasmer was a former United Wireless Telegraph Company radiotelegraph operator, who had opened the Excelsior Motorcycle and Bicycle Co. in 1911, and also sold radio equipment. Following two weeks of transmitter adjustment, the station made its debut broadcast on February 28, 1922. Its initial schedule was phonograph music presented every evening between 7 and 8:30.

KHQ was the second Seattle station licensed following the formal establishment of a broadcasting service category on December 1, 1921, by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the regulators of radio at this time. The first Seattle station licensed under these new regulations was KFC on December 8, 1921, which was operated jointly by the Northern Radio and Electric Company and the Post-Intelligencer newspaper. A third Seattle station, Vincent I. Kraft's KJR received its broadcasting station license on March 9, 1922. However Kraft had begun broadcasting over an experimental station beginning in 1920. Thus, when KHQ debuted it was described by a local newspaper as "the third broadcaster".

In March, KHQ suspended operations for nearly two weeks, returning with a 50-watt transmitter that replaced the original 10-watt set, which had been sold to the Economy Market so it could establish station KZC.

Because initially there was only the single entertainment wavelength of 360 meters available for use by multiple stations, regions had to set up a timesharing agreement to allocate individual station timeslots. On November 28, 1922, KHQ had the fewest programs of four listed stations, with a schedule of 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

In January 1925, KHQ began broadcasting from a studio located at the Bush & Lane Piano Company store on Third Avenue, and the station also moved to 1100 kHz.

KHQ in Spokane
In May 1925 it was announced that KHQ was temporarily going off the air in order to give Bush & Lane time to "make extensive alterations in the studio", in addition to a major facility upgrade. Instead, after broadcasting for three years in Seattle, Wasmer relocated the station to Spokane, reportedly transporting the radio equipment in a motorcycle sidecar. KHQ was Spokane's fifth radio station, preceded by stations KFZ, KOE, KFIO (now KSBN) and KFPY (now KXLY), although only KFIO and KFPY were still licensed at the time of KHQ's arrival.

Part of the move included an upgrade from 100 to 1,000 watts, although the station remained on 1100 kHz. KHQ's Spokane debut on October 30, 1925, from the Davenport Hotel, was made with great fanfare. Announcer Frank "Spark Plug" Buhlert told listeners that "The first 500 persons who send telegrams or phone in that they have heard the program will receive a souvenir bag of ore from the world's largest lead mine, the Bunker Hill & Sullivan, at Kellogg, Idaho." The debut broadcast ran from 8 p.m. to midnight, and included assorted speeches and music.

Wasmer moved the station's studios and office across Post Street from the Davenport Hotel to the seventh floor of Spokane Stock Exchange Building (also called the Eilers Building) in 1928 because the fledgling station had outgrown its quarters in the hotel. KGA later joined KHQ in the building, which was subsequently renamed the Radio Central Building.

KHQ changed its transmitting frequency a number of times in the mid-twenties, until November 11, 1928, when, under the provisions of a major reallocation resulting from the Federal Radio Commission's (FRC) General Order 40, it was reassigned to 590 kHz which it and its successors have used ever since.

The August 1941 adoption of the Federal Communications Commission's "duopoly" rule restricted licensees from operating more than one radio station in a given market. At this time Louis Wasmer, Inc. owned two Spokane stations: KHQ and KGA. To conform with the FCC order, in 1946 Wasmer sold KHQ to the Cowles Publishing Company, publisher of The Spokesman-Review newspaper, which used it to a television station in 1952 (which still bears the KHQ-TV calls, and is an affiliate of the NBC television network), and an FM station (now KISC) in 1962. KHQ stayed in the Radio Central Building until 1960, when it moved to a modern facility next to its transmitter site on South Regal on the Moran Prairie.

KLSN
Cowles sold off its radio interests in 1984, and kept the historic KHQ call letters for its TV station. Because of an FCC rule in place at the time that prohibited TV and radio stations in the same market but with different ownership from sharing the same call letters, AM 590 changed its call to KLSN on January 1, 1985, with the slogan "Listen 5-90".

KAQQ
On December 1, 1986, the station changed its call sign to KAQQ, which was phonetically similar to the original KHQ call letters.

KQNT
On January 1, 2002, the call sign became KQNT.

With references this could be a b-class article. I've rated it as mid because of its role in British culture. Questions were raised in the House of Commons regarding the subject nature of the comic, which led to a revising of the tone. Hiding Talk 22:13, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm curious as to how Action was launched as a competitor to Warlord when:

a) Battle was already in circulation b) Action was not a WW2 comic, unlike Battle.

Environmental
Did "Hook Jaw" really have an "environmental" edge? Such things, I would guess, were not really on the radar in the mid-1970s, this interpretation only really being possible via late 2000s 20/20 hindsight. 217.155.20.163 (talk) 01:02, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Environmental issues where indeed on the radar in the mid 70's. Some say it was a leftover topic from the flower power mother earth thing from the 60's, others would argue ancient religions who worshiped the earth where the first true environmentalists. I have read the strip in question and would indeed say there are environmental issues contained within. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.230.14.186 (talk) 03:33, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Methodist Boys' School, Kuala Lumpur

Methodist Boys' School, Kuala Lumpur (Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (L) Methodist, Kuala Lumpur; abbreviated MBS Kuala Lumpur) is a semi-government aided Cluster School of Excellence and High Performance School in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was founded in July 1897, making it one of the oldest schools in Malaysia. It is known as MBS and its students are known as MBSians. The school is also known as Horley School, a reference to one of its principals, Rev. William E. Horley, who was responsible for changing and giving the school its present name from the previous name of Anglo-Tamil School. The name Horley School has been widely misunderstood as a reference to marble, which is also called Horley in Chinese, a game that was popular amongst its students then. It is noted for its library, which attracts visits from many other schools.

In 2008, Methodist Boys' Secondary School was awarded cluster school status by the Malaysia Ministry of Education (MOE). In 2009, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (L) Methodist had 644 male students making the total number of students 644. It has a total of 60 teachers.2009

This school is also known as Marble School among the Petaling Street community. After more than a century and twenty-one years since its establishment by a British medical officer on the warship HMS Orion, Dr William T Kensett, MBSSKL has been awarded a cluster school by the Ministry of Education. MBSSKL is the only school in Kuala Lumpur that was established by a British military officer.

History
MBSSKL was founded by Rev. Dr. William T. Kensett, a Royal Navy admiral of the battleship HMS Orion. In July 1897, he had the intention of establishing a church and school for the Tamil community in Kuala Lumpur and he left the British Navy. A small wooden shop house was acquired on the corner of Batu Road and Java Street, and the Tamil-dominated school was named the Anglo-Tamil school.

In 1899, Rev. Samuel Abraham became its first headmaster, leading a staff of four teachers. It was then registered as a government-aided school.

Three years later, the MBSSKL proper was founded by Rev. W. E. Horley at the temporary premises of an unused pork market in Malacca Street. The Anglo-Tamil School was absorbed into it, opening up the school to all races.

In 1904, the school decided to move to Petaling Hill (its present site) after several relocations by the sanitary board due to the dilapidated condition of the building. Thus the Anglo-Tamil school was renamed as the Methodist Boys' School Kuala Lumpur by Rev William E Horley, the name used to this day. Within eight months, sufficient funds were raised to erect a new building. Two new wings were built and playing fields laid.

In 1954, 1st Kuala Lumpur Boys' Brigade Company was established at the school by Mr. Khoo Oon Soo and Mr. R. A. Allen. After the first few years, 1st KL was moved to the Wesley Church just next door to the school, while the school used the church premises as the first meeting place. 1st Kuala Lumpur Boys' Brigade Company is the third oldest group in Malaysia and the first oldest group in Kuala Lumpur. 1st KL is known due to its history in the results of band competitions, foot marches and Talent Time at the national level. 1st KL also produced a collection of President's Men and Founder's Men, as well as two Queen's Men.

In 1958, this school was divided into secondary schools (MBSSKL) and primary schools (MBPSKL) according to the national education policy at that time.

MBS anthem
The School Song was composed in 1948 by former principal, Hugh F. Clancy. The music was harmonised by N.Swan, in the same year. The song was adapted from the originally titled "Go Northwestern Go", written in 1912 by Theodore Van Etten, a member of the Northwestern University Wildcat Marching Band then. The school anthem was sung over Radio Malaya in 1949 by the school choir.

Uniform bodies
There are 10 uniformed bodies in the school as of 2023. Some examples are:

10th Kuala Lumpur Air Scout Group
10th Kuala Lumpur Air Scouts was established in 1915 and absorbed 15th Kuala Lumpur Scouts Troop after the second World War.

1st Kuala Lumpur Boys' Brigade Company
Founded by Mr. Khoo Onn Soo and Mr. R. A. Allen under the sponsorship of Wesley Methodist Church, Kuala Lumpur in 1954. 1st Kuala Lumpur Boys Brigade was the third company to be established in Malaysia and the first company to be established in Kuala Lumpur.

Kuala Lumpur No.6 Ambulance Cadet Division of St. John Ambulance Malaysia
KLN6ACD is a division under St. John Ambulance of Malaysia, part of an international voluntary service organisation dedicated to training and providing first aid skills. The division has had numerous achievements in competitions at the state and national levels, and continues to be a major contributor in voluntary first aid service within the school as well as the public through duties coordinated by the State Officers.

Alumni association
The alumni association of MBSSKL is known as MBSalumni, previously known as MBSOBA (Methodist Boys' School Old Boys Association). Its first documented meeting was in 1919. It was set up with the objective of providing a platform for all former students to keep in touch with each other and also to maintain contact with the school.

2019 notes
William Howard Taft's second important title was Chief Justice of the United States, not Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The Chief Justice article and Taft bio have the correct title (changed earlier under Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase), last time I looked. Thanks. User: Elendil's Heir.
 * Yes, but then we would have "President of the United States" and "Chief Justice of the United States" in short order, and since Chief Justice is also known by this name, we used this instead. — howcheng  {chat} 18:05, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

But it's wrong. Better just to say "Chief Justice," rather than perpetuate an incorrect usage, if you were worred about using "of the United States" twice in a row. User: Elendil's Heir
 * But then there are many other Chief Justices (of the various state Supreme Courts, for example). — howcheng  {chat} 15:51, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Gough Whitlam
Just wondering, how come Gough Whitlam's entry was not only removed but also deleted entirely from the hidden section? One of the most significant and consequential Prime Ministers in Australia's history, and from the looks of it he's never made a mention here. I think this should definitely be rectified in future.

Untitled
I seem to remember the comic being retitled Battle Action after the merger with Action. Can anyone confirm? Deadlock 11:49, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It was called Battle Action Force from 1983 until 1988.Konczewski 17:10, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Battle Picture Library
Is Battle Picture Library related to Battle (in any of its forms)? I presume it just a title IPC used for reprinting old war stories in a handy format? Does anybody know? Mrstonky (talk) 12:08, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Battle Picture Library Is NOT Battle Picture Weekly
The word "battle" is short, to the point and people generally know what it means, making it a good choice for a title. :)

Battle Picture Library ran for 1706 editions, published between Jan 1961 and Dec 1984.

The article confused the two publications, by claiming the following:

Collected editions

Some of the stories have been collected into trade paperbacks, published by Carlton Publishing Group imprint Prion and edited by Steve Holland

* Battle Picture Library: o Death or Glory (776 pages, September 2007, ISBN 1-85375-630-X) o Let 'em Have It (776 pages, October 2008, ISBN 1-85375-671-7) Charley's War has also been collected into their own volumes.

Death or Glory and Let 'em Have It are actually collections of reprinted editions of Battle Picture Library - NOT collected material from Battle Picture Weekly.

In my first solo mission for this unit - bravely enduring heavy fire and the threat of snipers - I removed this claim.

I am now reporting back to ask whether it would it be appropriate to create a new article for Battle Picture Library to clarify these are two different publications ?

And/Or mention the potential confusion in this article ?

A sister publication to Battle Picture Library that does have a Wikipedia article is War Picture Library.

That article at present also seems to make the mistake of implicitly assuming the two Battle publications to be a single one.

A late reply but yes, go for it, handy redlinks to other articles along these lines that need creating are at War Picture Library. Although they both need expanding these might also prove useful,. (Emperor (talk) 03:50, 29 July 2010 (UTC))

Battle Editorial Staff Errors
Much of the detail on the editorial staff at IPC and their respective roles on the various Battle Picture Weekly derivatives is incorrect. Steve MacManus was the sub/deputy/assistant editor for much of the early run. Doug Church was art editor, but left the title in 1976 to work on Action and later, 2000AD.

The unfinished list of writers and artists is also riddled with errors. Admittedly, in the early days of the title, writers and artists were not credited, but in later issues they were, yet still, in cases where both writer and artist were credited in the published comic, the information provided here is wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mooseharris (talk • contribs) 21:53, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Rewrite
I cut the following: - "Assistant Editor (for most of Battle comic's life): Jim Storrie Art Editors included Roy Stedall-Humphrys and Peter Downer Editorial assistants included Barrie Clements, Roy Preston, Ron Cooper, Richard Burton Art assistants: Tim Skomski, Martin Goldring"

as without citations or context it was hard to work into the article. I've also chopped the various fan-sites from the external links; Blood for the Baron is awesome but is also hosting a ton of illegal scans, and aside from that it was archived versions of some half-complete pages that didn't seem to add much. Happy to discuss any returning. Good grief GCD's way of handling British titles is dreadful. ICYMI, most of the story summaries have been salvaged at List of Battle stories.

Blast from the Past (film)

Blast from the Past is a 1999 American romantic comedy science fantasy adventure film directed and co-produced by Hugh Wilson, based on a story by Wilson –who co-wrote the screenplay with Bill Kelly– and starring Brendan Fraser, Alicia Silverstone, Christopher Walken, Sissy Spacek, and Dave Foley. The film focuses on Adam Webber, who was born and brought up in a Cold War-era fallout shelter built by his survivalist, anti-Communist father. After 35 years Adam emerges into the modern world, where his innocence and old-fashioned views put him at comedic odds with others.

The film received mixed reviews from critics and was a box office disappointment.

Plot
In 1962, eccentric American scientist Dr. Calvin Webber believes nuclear war with the Soviet Union is imminent, and builds a secret fallout shelter beneath his backyard. Alarmed by the Cuban Missile Crisis, Calvin takes his pregnant wife Helen into the shelter. When an unexpected mechanical failure aboard an F-86 Sabre causes the aircraft to crash into the house above, Calvin assumes the worst and activates the shelter's time-locks for 35 years. With the house completely destroyed by the crash, the Webbers' neighbors and authorities assume they were killed and their property is left abandoned.

Helen gives birth to Adam who is educated to a high standard by his father (including becoming fluent in several languages) and grows up on 1950s-era pop culture like I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners, and pop standards by Perry Como and Dean Martin. Above ground, a diner opens in 1965 where a young resident named Melker gets his first job working as a soda jerk. The diner is sold and turned into a pizzeria, then becomes a punk club named Purgatory as the suburban neighborhood deteriorates over the decades into an inner city ghetto. By 1995, Melker is a bitter middle-aged alcoholic living in the club's condemned remains.

When the shelter unlocks in 1997, Calvin mistakes the now-blighted neighborhood for a post-apocalyptic wasteland of irradiated mutants and decides the family must stay underground over the objections of Helen, who, unlike Calvin (who enjoys the seclusion) and Adam (who knows nothing else), has never taken to living in the shelter. With supplies running out and Calvin falling ill, Adam leaves the shelter for the first time to obtain food. He meets Melker, who had encountered Calvin the previous night, bursting through the floor in his radiation suit. The old man convinces himself that Adam is a god. Marveling at the outside world, Adam purchases supplies, but then cannot remember his way back to the elevator.

Trying to sell his father's classic baseball cards at a hobby shop, Adam meets Eve Rustikov, who stops the store owner from cheating Adam and is fired. Eve drives Adam to a Holiday Inn in exchange for a rare card but returns the next morning out of guilt. Adam asks her to help him. Unaware of the value of money, Adam agrees to her request for $1,000 a week, while also asking Eve to help him find a wife who is "not a mutant" and is from Pasadena, California, per his mother's advice. Adam meets Eve's gay housemate and best friend Troy, who provides him with advice and a fashion makeover. Eve and Troy take Adam to a '40s swing-style nightclub to find him a wife. Adam attracts the attention of several women, including Eve's nemesis Sophie. Jealous, Eve reconnects with her ex-boyfriend Cliff and gets him to provoke Adam into a fight, relenting when Adam demonstrates his boxing skills (having trained every day with his father). Eve is disgusted and goes home. Troy later tells her Adam left the club with Sophie. Adam returns, explaining that he politely rejected Sophie's advances, as he could only think about Eve. He and Eve kiss, but when Adam admits the truth about his past and his desire to take her to be his wife "underground", she asks him to leave.

Finding the club, where Melker has recruited a full congregation to worship him, Adam returns to Eve's house, where she is waiting with psychiatrist Dr. Nina Aron and her assistant to have him committed. Initially cooperating, Adam escapes, though not before asking Eve and Troy to collect his things and pay his hotel bill. In his hotel room, Troy and Eve find toiletries and clothing from the '60s and absurdly valuable stock certificates in companies like IBM (which Calvin had previously written off as "worthless") and deduce that Adam is not crazy and was telling the truth the whole time.

As Melker and his cult load supplies into the shelter, Calvin prepares to seal his family inside again. Eve spots Adam outside the club. They embrace and Adam takes her to meet his parents. Impressed with Eve, Calvin and Helen agree to set the shelter's locks for two months while Adam and Eve make arrangements. During this time, Adam and Eve sell the stocks to build his parents a new home in the country, identical to their house that was destroyed, and purchase and restore a red 1960 Cadillac convertible. They help Melker rebuild the pub into a '50s-themed nightclub after convincing him that Adam is not God.

Adam reveals to his father there was never an atomic war and that the Soviet Union collapsed peacefully, ending the Cold War. Unconvinced, Calvin plans to build a new fallout shelter as Eve watches while playing with her engagement ring.

Critical reception
The film received mixed reviews from critics. On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 58% of 81 critics gave the film a positive review, with an average rating of 6.1/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Cute idea, but not consistently funny". On Metacritic, the film holds a score of 48 out of 100 based on 19 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Roger Ebert gave the film three out of four stars saying "the movie is funny and entertaining in all the usual ways, yes, but I was grateful that it tried for more: that it was actually about something, that it had an original premise, that it used satire and irony and had sly undercurrents."

Box office
Blast from the Past opened in North American theaters on February 12, 1999 and took in $7,771,066 earning it 5th place at the box office for the weekend. It ultimately made a profit, grossing $40.3 million worldwide against its $35 million budget despite only grossing $26.5 million within the United States.

Jagte Raho

Jagte Raho is a 1956  Hindi/Bengali film, directed by Amit Maitra and Sombhu Mitra, written by Khwaja Ahmad Abbas, and produced by and starring Raj Kapoor. The film centers on the trials of a poor villager (Kapoor) who comes to a city in search of a better life. However, the naive man soon becomes trapped in a web of middle-class greed and corruption. The film also features a cameo by Nargis in the final scene.

It was produced in Bengali as Ek Din Raatre, starring Raj Kapoor, Chhabi Biswas, Pahari Sanyal, Nargis Dutt and Daisy Irani. The film won the Crystal Globe Grand Prix at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in Czechoslovakia in 1957.

Plot summary
A poor peasant (Kapoor) from the village, who comes to the city in search of work, is looking for some water to quench his thirst. He enters an apartment complex, whose residents take him for a thief and chase him. He runs from one flat to another trying to escape his predicament. Along the way, he witnesses many shady undertakings in the flats where he hides. Ironically, these crimes are being committed by the so-called "respectable" citizens of the city, who by day lead a life totally in contrast to their nighttime deeds behind closed doors.

He is shocked by these events and tries to escape by evading the search parties patrolling the apartment building in search of the elusive thief. He is unfortunately seen, and people chase him to the roof of the building. He puts up a brave resistance and then descends by the water pipes onto the porch of a flat. He goes in to find a young girl (Daisy Irani). She talks to him and kindles a self-belief in the peasant, who determinedly tries to face the adversity waiting outside. But when he ventures out of the flat, he is surprised to find that nobody takes notice of him. He eventually leaves the apartment building, his thirst still unquenched. He hears a beautiful song and searching for its source arrives at the doorstep of a woman (Nargis) drawing water from a well. His thirst is finally assuaged.

Music
Other than the acting, the music is the highlight of the film. Lyrics are by Shailendra and Prem Dhawan and music is by Salil Choudhary.

The songs are

1. "Zindagi Khawab Hai, Khvaab Me Jhuth Kya Aur Bhala Sach Hai Kya" - Mukesh

2. "Main Koi Jhoot Boleya" - Mohammed Rafi and S. Balbir

3. "Jaago Mohan Pyaare" - Lata Mangeshkar

4. "Thandee Thandee Savan Kee Phuhar" - Asha Bhosle

5. "Maine Jo Li Angdayi" - Haridhan, Sandhya Mukherjee

Bengali version
The song "Zindagi Khwab Hai", picturized on Motilal in Hindi was recorded as "Ei Duniaye Shobi Hoi" (Sung by Manna Dey) in the Bengali version and was picturized on Chhabi Biswas. Most of the story line is identical between the two versions, as were the songs; "Teki Main Jhuth Boliya", sung by Mohammed Rafi and picturized on Sikh drivers is consistent in both versions. "Jago Mohan Pritam", sung by Lata Mangeshkar is common to both versions - only the lyrics were changed to Hindi and Bengali, as applicable.

Cast

 * Raj Kapoor as Peasant
 * Nargis (cameo)
 * Pradeep Kumar as Pradeep
 * Sumitra Devi
 * Smriti Biswas

Box office
Jagte Raho was an overseas blockbuster at the Soviet box office, drawing 33.6 million Soviet viewers in 1965, due to Raj Kapoor's popularity in the Soviet Union. In the Soviet Union, the film earned an estimated 8.4 million Rbls (US$9.33 million or ₹4.44 crore) in 1965, equivalent to US$ million (₹477 crore) in 2016.

Awards
A shortened version of the film won the Crystal Globe Grand Prix at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in Czechoslovakia in 1957. At the fourth annual National Film Awards, the film won the Certificate of Merit.

Talk:List of people from Milwaukee

Untitled
"Derek M. Gallagher, Jr. Really nice guy and a good volleyball player as well." I've never heard of this guy, is this some jerk who decided it would be fun to put add his name to this page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.170.182 (talk) 00:17, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

How could you have missed General Douglas MacArthur, or his father, General Arthur MacArthur, Jr.?

 * Douglas MacArthur always listed Milwaukee as his nominal home address, but spent little of his actual life here (he was assigned here from Feb.-April 1908 while with the Army Corps of Engineers). A classic Army brat, he was born in Little Rock, schooled in Texas, and spent his last years in New York, living in the Waldorf-Astoria. During his active duty years, I believe his address of record was a hotel room in the old Plankinton Hotel downtown, and Milwaukeeans always like to claim him as "Milwaukee's own" when he made the news; but it's a real stretch. -- Orange Mike 17:28, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Song
OK, sports fans, back in the 80s or so, there was a song by a native, sung to the tune of Boy George's song hit Karma Chameleon, which contained this line...

 *  I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a Milkwaukeean...
 * And ain't it, hey, ain't it, hey!

...or some such. Does anyone know anything about it?

 * I noticed you found the answer and added it under Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Thankfully I don't recall the song, but then again, in all my years of living here I don't think I've ever heard someone say "ainahey" either. :) 72.131.44.247 21:28, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Niether have I. Probably because the only people who ever said "ain'a'hey" were the Poles on the south side and they've pretty much all moved to Cudahy, St. Fancis and Franklin since then.  --Illwauk 00:25, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Who qualifies?
Is this list meant to include only those people who lived within the precise city limits of Milwaukee, or the metropolitan area? Seems Illwauk (and what I guess is her/his IP address) seems to be taking a hardline approach and removing those who hail from Brown Deer or South Milwaukee. I find this a little troubling, since it is unlikely the encyclopedia will have an article of List of notable Brown Deer residents, and seems appropriate to include them here instead. Thoughts? --ZimZalaBim (talk) 00:32, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Of course it's ridiculous to include a long list like this for small towns such as South Milwaukee and Brown Deer, but what's stopping the editors of those lists from including a line or two about the people from there who have been included (incorrectly) on this list? Brown Deer, or West Allis, or Tosa, etc. is NOT the same as Milwaukee.  I mean, just think of how different the North, South and East sides are compared to one another.  And no, simply being born here does not make you a Milwaukeean either.  If that were the case, I'd be a New Jersey native in spite of the fact that I've lived in Milwaukee since I was 2, attended MPS schools, graduated from Washington High School and MATC, currently attending UWM and all of the family and friends I have close relationships with live for the most part live in Milwaukee and Wisconsin. In short, if we're gonna include people like Sykes, we might as well include Samuel L. Jackson.  I'm sure he's changed planes at MKE a couple of times.  --Illwauk 23:18, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I've always considered it a list of denizens, and populated it as such... people who may or may not have been born in the city (although it scores points), but have been significantly impacted by the city and/or vice-versa. One example might be Golda Meir. She spent her impressionable years here and publicly identified with the city later in life. Another example is Liberace with West Allis/West Milwaukee. The Polish-Italian environment he grew up in was reflected in his character, career and music. People on the list can of course have "dual-citizenship" with other locales. I re-added Reginald Lisowski because made his career in Milwaukee and even billed himself as "The man who made Milwaukee famous." He grew up in South Milwaukee, so I'd also expect to see him listed there under a "Notable people from" section heading. I feel the line between Milwaukee and its suburbs are blurred in this respect, but when possible the person should be listed on the appropriate page. 72.131.44.247 04:40, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Pro wresting has a long history of billing wrestlers from places they aren't really from. And as far as the Crusher making his career in Milwaukee, you could argue the same, if not more, for him "making it" in Minneapolis/St. Paul and Chicago as well.  --Illwauk 23:18, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not too familiar with Diane S. Sykes, but after glossing over her Wikipedia article I wouldn't object to re-adding her either. She was born here, went to Marquette University Law School and practiced here before becoming a Milwaukee County judge (court house in downtown Milwaukee). 72.131.44.247 04:44, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Hoʻokipa

 Hookipa is a beach on the north shore of Maui, Hawaii, United States, perhaps the most renowned windsurfing site in the world. A combination of large, well-shaped waves breaking across a system of reefs that extend across the bay and consistently strong winds make it ideal for the sport.

Waves there are largest during the winter, smaller in summer. In addition to windsurfing competitions surfing contests are held there as well.

The name Hookipa means "hospitality" in Hawaiian. Hookipa Beach Park is located on Maui's North Shore alongside the Hana Highway. There are picnic facilities and observation decks for visitors.

Surf breaks
There are four distinct surf breaks at Ho'okipa. Pavilions is the break furthest east, off the lookout parking. West from it, facing the main parking, is Middles break. Pavilions is mostly a right but also has a shorter left, and Middles is usually surfed as a left. The area between the two, which is in the channel, catches fewer breaking sets and is sometimes referred to as Girlie Bowls. Next further west is Green Trees, followed by The Point, facing the lifeguard tower and the narrow sand beach launch. It is the most popular break for windsurfing, and generally breaks as a right. With the prevailing trade wind direction being east to east-north-east, these are most frequently starboard tack down-the-line conditions (wind from right when standing on the beach). Yet further west, past the rocky point, is Lanes, which generally breaks as a left. Under relatively rare conditions, known as Kona, the prevailing winds become southwest, creating port tack down-the-line conditions at Lanes (wind from left when standing on the beach). This only occurs a few days out of every year.

Attractions
Over the years Ho'okipa has been the site for organized windsurfing competitions in the Wave discipline. A long-running annual event is the Aloha Classic, a Pro-Am competition with age categories for contestants. The Red Bull King of the Air international kitesurfing competition was held at Ho'okipa from 1999-2005.

Like many locations on the Maui and Oahu North Shore, Ho'okipa Beach is occasionally a tourist attraction in the winter time because of spectacularly large surf. In the afternoon on 15 December 2004, for example, tourists visited the beach to see waves as large as 30 feet pound the shore; officials warned visitors to stay away from the water, as the surf was very deadly. Despite this, Ho'okipa is not an ideal site for true big-wave riding, as the waves close out when their faces approach about 25 feet. During such episodes, other deep-water breaks offer more rideable waves (an example of which is Jaws, offshore Peahi, Maui, which is a very short car ride from Hookipa.)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Karat. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Karat~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:51, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Introduction
Welcome and thanks for dropping by. I caught the Wikipedia bug during the spring of 2005 when I realized how accurate and timely it had become, and how often I was relying on it for many personal and professional uses. I am honored to be a small contributor to this incredible project, and I am at your service.

Oh, yes, about the name: it's a commonly taught (although oversimplified) mnemonic device used to help children learn the sequence of light in the visible spectrum. "R" stands for "red," then "O" for "orange", and so on through yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. (There is, of course, a Wikipedia article on the ROYGBIV mnemonic.) I like it because it connects several areas of interest (physics, painting, photography, and education) and because I like the idea of being part of a spectrum of contributors and world citizens. It's corny, but I dig it.

KJRB

KJRB (790 AM) is a commercial radio station in Spokane, Washington. KJRB is owned by Stephens Media Group, through licensee SMG-Spokane, LLC, and airs a mainstream rock radio format. It calls itself "94.1 The Bear".

KJRB has a daytime power of 4,400 watts; at night, to protect other stations on AM 790, it reduces power to 34 watts. It uses a non-directional antenna at all times. The transmitter is on East Stutler Road off U.S. Route 195 in Spangle, Washington. KJRB also simulcasts on FM translator 94.1 K231CU, powered at 99 watts.

History
KJRB has had a long and colorful history showcasing many famous disc jockeys, including Randy Evans and Treasure Goodtimes (now known as Ichabod Caine and Scallops), Larry "SuperJock" Lujack, Charlie Brown (who went to KUBE 93 FM and later KJR-FM 95.7 in Seattle), Ric Hansen, Jim Kampmann, Danny Holiday (Daniel Thygesen), Joe Michaels, Jack "Commander Dunk" Gordon, Ross Woodward, Norm Gregory, Brian Gregory, Ricky Shannon, Suds Coleman, Rick Rydell, Marie McCallister, Steven West, Ralphie Koal, with Frank Hanel and "Sunshine" Shelly Monahan.

KJRB's call letters originally reflected the fact that it had been owned by Kaye-Smith Enterprises, the owners of then-Top 40 station KJR in Seattle. KJRB moved towards an Oldies format in the 1980s, a news/talk station in the early 1990s, and sports as 790 The Fan, from 1999 until April 2008, when the sports format was moved to sister station 1510 KGA. In return, KGA's news/talk format moved to KJRB.

During the station's early years as a sports station, KJRB also broadcast "hot talk" shows such as Don and Mike, Tom Leykis and Phil Hendrie, with evening and weekend programming provided by Fox Sports Radio, Sporting News Radio and Westwood One.

On October 24, 2012, KJRB shifted its format to All-News. On September 19, 2013, KJRB changed format to Classic country, branded as "The Eagle". On June 1, 2015, KJRB switched back to the sports format as "Fox Sports 790." That gave Mapleton Communications two all-sports stations in Spokane, KJRB and KGA. On March 28, 2016, KJRB changed the format to adult standards, branded as "Magic 790". On March 21, 2017, KJRB changed the format to classic rock, branded as "94.1 The Bear" (simulcasting on FM translator K231CU 94.1 FM Spokane).

On September 30, 2019, the station was sold to Stephens Media Group after Stephens acquired most of the properties of former owner Mapleton Communications.

Translator
KJRB also broadcasts on the following FM translator:

Littlefield, Arizona

Littlefield is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Mohave County, Arizona, United States, that is located in the Arizona Strip region. As of the 2020 census, its population was 256, a decline from the figure of 308 tabulated in 2010. It lies just south of Interstate 15, next to the Virgin River, approximately 10 mi northeast of Mesquite, Nevada. Littlefield is located in the 86432 ZIP Code.

History
Littlefield was first settled by Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormons, in 1865.

Littlefield is the former home of the Littlefield Unified School District, the geographically largest school district in Arizona. The only remnant of the school district in Littlefield itself is the historic adobe Littlefield Schoolhouse, currently under renovation.

Geography
Littlefield is in the northwestern corner of Mohave County (and the state of Arizona), along Interstate 15, with access from Exit 8. It is bordered to the north, across I-15, by the community of Beaver Dam. I-15 leads southwest 10 mi to Mesquite, Nevada, and 90 mi to Las Vegas, while to the northeast the highway enters the Virgin River Gorge and leads 29 mi to St. George, Utah.

Littlefield, Beaver Dam, and Scenic have the distinction of being the only towns in Arizona along I-15. Owing to its location in the Arizona Strip, northwest of Grand Canyon National Park and west of the Virgin River, it is isolated by hundreds of miles from the rest of the state. Travel to other towns within Arizona requires crossing through either Nevada or Utah, or driving on unpaved roads to the rest of Arizona's road network.

Demographics
The city is made up of 72.7 percent Hispanic, 27.3 percent White, 0 percent Black or Asian.

KSBN (AM)

KSBN (1230 kHz "Money Talk 1230") is a business and financial talk AM radio station licensed to serve Spokane, Washington. The station is currently owned by KSBN Radio, Inc., consisting of the gun rights group Second Amendment Foundation and its affiliate Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. The station broadcasts at 1230 kHz with a power of 1,000 watts day and night, from a transmitter tower located on top of the Delaney Building in Downtown Spokane.

History
KSBN was first licensed in 1923 as KFIO, to North Central High School in Spokane. However, by this time, the school had been operating a radio transmitter for two years. In the summer of 1921 physics teacher Arthur L. Smith had seen the need to train young students in radio, an infant technology that would soon be widely used commercially. He obtained a "Technical and Training School" station license, with the call sign "7YL", that was issued in the name of North Central High School. With this license students could learn telegraphy and radio theory, and then apply what they learned in real life.

High school operations
Effective December 1, 1921, the Department of Commerce, which regulated radio at this time, adopted regulations formally establishing standards for stations making broadcasts intended for the general public. On May 22, 1923, the high school was issued a broadcast station license, with the alphabetically assigned call letters of KFIO. This was one of the earliest non-commercial educational stations, and one of the few operated by a high school instead of a college.

KFIO was operated by student members of high school's Radio Club. The station broadcast features such as school news, entertainment that included concerts by the school band and orchestra (live from the auditorium) and sports events, in particular games between North Central High and Lewis and Clark High in 1924 and 1925. In addition to Friday evening programs, the station also broadcast during school time Monday to Friday and occasionally on Sunday evenings. Despite some difficulty in and controversy over keeping the station on the air, many of the people who became radio broadcast professionals in Spokane and nearby communities in the early radio days got their start in radio at KFIO.

D. Windsor Hunt, who worked at the station as a student beginning in 1927, related his experiences at the station and talked about what kind of programming the station broadcast. He noted that, among other things, he was responsible for reading the news, playing records, announcing school athletic events, and proms. The station had a library of records, all 78 RPM, mostly from the 1910s, but they also were able to get a hold of more recent hits of the time. Hunt noted that they obtained a copy of the record "Sweet Hearts on Parade" when it was still number one on the hit parade. Hunt also related they would read the news verbatim from the Spokesman-Review and the Spokane Chronicle, but they gave no credit to the original sources. They had to be careful to avoid mentioning divorce, sex, or bootlegging as those topics were considered taboo.

Hunt's account noted that the station's studio was originally located in crowded quarters on an upper floor in the south end of the high school building. He also stated that: "... The [transmitter] was in a closet about 8' X 16', between the physics lab and classroom, on the south side of the 3rd floor. ... The transmitter took up about six square feet and a two-foot passage alongside led to the studio. This was the back of the room with one window to an airwell. It was about 8' X 12'. ... On the right side was the 'console' - a bench about two feet wide with one turntable mounted on it. Later we got a variable speed job, but we didn't have LP (long play, not liquid petroleum) records so we never used it in my time. ... Someone loaned Mr. A. L. Smith a mechanical song bird from Europe - a wind up dealy in a big brass cage. Every 15 minutes it sang a line in a very beautiful realistic bird song. On the hour it sang a longer trill. It not only warned us of the time but often added a nice touch to the announcements."

Commercial station
KFIO was financed by the local school board, which eventually reduced its support to a level that no longer permitted the station to remain operating. Thus, on August 23, 1929, the station was sold to the Spokane Broadcasting Corporation and converted to a commercial operation.

In 1950, with the sale of the station to Louis Wasmer, the call letters were changed to KSPO. This was followed by a series of ownership and call letter changes. Marlin R. Taylor former President of Bonneville Broadcast Consultants owned the station for several years in the mid 1980's. TCC Broadcasting established an "all business" format in 1990, after the station went off the air for a short time. On April 29, 1991, it became KSBN. Owner/Manager Tom Cock sold the station in 1995 to KSBN Radio, Inc.

Tang Shaoyi

Tang Shaoyi (2 January 1862 – 30 September 1938), also spelled Tong Shao Yi, courtesy name Shaochuan (少川), was a Chinese statesman who briefly served as the first Premier of the Republic of China in 1912. In 1938, he was assassinated by the staff of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics in Shanghai.

Early life
Tang was a native of Xiangshan County, Guangdong. Tang was educated in the United States, attending elementary school in Springfield, Massachusetts, and high school in Hartford, Connecticut. He later studied at Queen's College, Hong Kong, and then Columbia University in New York on the Chinese Educational Mission. He was a member of Columbia College's class of 1882 before being recalled back to China by the Qing government. Tong was a classmate and close friend of future Columbia president Nicholas Murray Butler.

Career
Tang was a friend of Yuan Shikai; and during the Xinhai Revolution, negotiated on the latter's behalf in Shanghai with the revolutionaries' Wu Tingfang, ending up with the recognition of Yuan as President of the Republic of China. He had been a diplomat with Yuan Shikai's staff in Korea. In 1900, he was appointed head of the Shandong Bureau of Foreign Affairs under governor Yuan Shikai.

Widely respected, he became the Republic's first Prime Minister in 1912, but quickly grew disillusioned with Yuan's lack of respect for the rule of law and resigned. He later took part in Sun Yat-sen's government in Guangzhou. Tang Shaoyi opposed, on constitutional grounds, Sun's taking of the "Extraordinary Presidency" in 1921; Tang resigned from his position. In 1924, he refused an offer to be foreign minister under warlord Duan Qirui's provisional government in Beijing.

Assassination
In 1937, Tang bought a house on Route Ferguson in the Shanghai French Concession and retired there. The following year, the Japanese invaded and occupied Shanghai (though not yet the foreign concessions). Japanese general Kenji Doihara attempted to recruit Tang to become president of the new pro-Japanese puppet government, and Tang was willing to negotiate with the Japanese. The Kuomintang's intelligence agency Juntong learned about the negotiation, and its chief Dai Li ordered his assassination. On 30 September 1938, Tang was killed in his living room by a Juntong squad who pretended to be antique sellers.

Family
Tang Shaoyi's daughter Tang Baoyue (English name May Tang) was married to the prominent diplomat V. K. Wellington Koo. She died in October 1918 during the 1918 flu pandemic, after falling ill for only a week. Another daughter Lora Tang was married to the well-known Singapore philanthropist Lee Seng Gee, former chairman of the Lee Foundation. Another daughter from his first wife, Isobel, was married to Henry K. Chang (Chang Chien), the Chinese Ambassador and Consul General at San Francisco (1929).

Talk:Lew Ayres

Read these two sentences carefully:

"In 1948 he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for Johnny Belinda, but his career was sparse after the war. Costar Jane Wyman fell in love with Ayres and left her husband Ronald Reagan for him, albeit unsuccessfully."

How can a career be "sparse"? It isn't a natural substance which can occur in abundance or not. And if Wyman left Reagan for Ayres, how did she manage not to succeed in leaving him? I think the nincompoops who wrote these lines may have meant:

"Ayres made few films after the war, but in 1948 his role in Johnny Belinda earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. Jane Wyman, his co-star, fell in love with him, and left husband Ronald Reagan; but Ayres and Wyman's relationship was an unhappy one."

I don't know the facts about Ayres and Wyman, but anyone who does should, in revising, strive to be a clear and plain as I have been. (Notice how I avoid the three "fors" of the original version.)

I just added a link with some more detailed information on his life that what can be found in this article. Maybe someone who knows what they're doing can tweak it a bit more. Of particular interest would be his Consciencious Objector stance and the climate in the US at that time. Cheers!

Black Dahlia Case
I removed a new editor's claim that it was revealed that, "at one point" Lew Ayres was the chief suspect in the Black Dahlia case. I can find no reference to that whatever. -- Cecropia 03:41, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

nationality
Usually these bios start out with the nationality of the subjects parents…. I got curious when it was omitted. The early population here in MN was primarily Swedish, Norwegian and German besides the large Native and Métis population. So anything other than that is kinda interesting. Anyway, I was looking around for the info and I found a link from the U of M which has some interesting information that this is lacking… his mother being a theosophist. I feel unsettled, changing the wikipage, but I offer the link to someone more experienced.

Subcategorization and removal of cats
"Category:Military personnel from Minneapolis" is a subcat of "Category:Military personnel from Minnesota", "Category:United States Army soldiers" is a subcat of "Category:United States Army personnel", and "Category:United States Army personnel of World War II" is a subcat of "Category:American military personnel of World War II". For reasons of subcategorization and overcategorization, the included cats are removed. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 12:38, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Raka'at is a better spelling for sure unless this world has been adopted as "Rak'ah" by English Dictionaries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Unblindloveunions (talk • contribs)

counter examples that refutes the theory on a normal computer calculator!
For the sake of magic in numbers Mr. Seyed M. Ghaem-Maghami -- famous Mystic, Psychomologist and Medical Intuitionist -- introduced the following numerical examples, as counter examples that refutes the theory on a normal computer calculator. He claims that he has obtained them by using his psychomological skills. He has also found numerical examples that would do the same thing on a normal pocket-size calculators.

The following sets of numbers refute the Fermat's Last Theory on a normal P.C calculator: 1) [(3100)^6]^5+ [(3100)^5]^5= (887,503,681,000,000,000,620)^5

2)[(2100)^6]^5+ [(2100)^5]^5=(85766121000000000420)^5 He also has revealed that the smallest number that will do the same as above examples is 1490 using the same powers as above examples (notice that the above answers are only about 20 digits and a normal P.C calculator displays up to 36 digits with 32 digits in accuracy, see it for yourself on your own P.C calculator).

The above notes were posted here with Mr. Seyed M. Ghaemmaghami Permission.Please feel free to post the exact notes above in any where you like. Singed and posted by Unblindloveunions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Unblindloveunions (talk • contribs) 05:50, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

I fear Mr. Seyed M. Ghaem-Maghami has screwed up pretty badly. I've responded on the user's talk page, and if further discussion is required, I'd rather continue it there. Somehow I feel that this has little to do with the subject of the article, and would therefore be better removed. (Blimey, and that said by a person making his 5th Wikipedia edit ever.) 94.179.112.179 (talk) 17:48, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

What is the right name, or let’s say: the best one to use on Wikipedia?
One comment in the above Talk says that "raka'ah" is a better spelling. Can we substantiate that and reach consensus, so the article can be renamed?

In that connection, I noticed that many different names are being used in the article: Singular: rakat, Rak'a, rak'a, Rak'ah, raka'ah Plural: Rak'at, rakaah, raka'at, rakaʿāt, rakaʿat, Rakahs, Rakat

Who can decide which is the right/best one?--Geke (talk) 07:03, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
