Image:Teri Hatcher 3.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Teri Hatcher 3.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Until a more informative tag is provided, it will be listed as no source or no license. Could you add a better tag to let us know its source and/or copyright status? If you made the image yourself, an easy way to deal with this is add GFDL if you're willing to release it under the GFDL. Alternatively, you could release all rights to it by adding NoRightsReserved. This would allow anyone to do whatever they wish with your image, without exceptions. However, if it isn't your own image, you need to specify what free license it was distributed under. You can find a list of the tags here. If it was not distributed under a free license, but you claim fair use, add {{fairuse}} but you need to substantiate your claim by explaining why you think it's fair use. If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images by posting to my talk page. If you do this, I can tag them for you. Thanks. RedWolf 03:01, July 22, 2005 (UTC)

Images with unknown sources
Hi. It seems you've uploaded a lot of images to wikipedia, and you've not provided the source for any of them, and the mandatory licence tag for many of them. Additionally, many of these images aren't attached to articles. I appreciate that you're only trying to help, but unfortunately this is creating a huge amount of work for others, and you're potentially opening Wikipedia up to damaging legal action. So, I really have to insist that you: Thanks. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 11:28, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) don't upload any more pictures until the problems with your current uploads are resolved
 * 2) go over each image you've uploaded and add its source and the appropriate licence tag (listed at Image copyright tags)
 * 3) make sure every image you've uploaded is used in an article

 * You can find a list of all the images you've uploaded on this page. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 11:30, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Fair use rationale for Image:James Denton 1.jpg

Replaceable fair use Image:Mehcad Brooks.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mehcad Brooks.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Remember the dot (talk) 23:09, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Vector sum excited linear prediction

Vector sum excited linear prediction (VSELP) is a speech coding method used in several cellular standards. The VSELP algorithm is an analysis-by-synthesis coding technique and belongs to the class of speech coding algorithms known as CELP (Code Excited Linear Prediction).

Variations of this codec have been used in several 2G cellular telephony standards, including IS-54, IS-136 (D-AMPS), GSM (Half Rate speech) and iDEN. It was also used in the first version of RealAudio for audio over the Internet. The IS-54 VSELP standard was published by the Telecommunications Industry Association in 1989.

D-AMPS (IS-54 and IS-136) VSELP specifies an encoding of each 20 ms of speech into 159-bit frames, thus achieving a raw data rate of 7.95 kbit/s. In an actual TDMA cell phone, the vocoder output is packaged with error correction and signaling information, resulting in an over-the-air data rate of 16.2 kbit/s. For internet audio, each 159-bit frame is stored in 20 bytes, leaving 1 bit unused. The resulting file thus has a data rate of exactly 8 kbit/s.

GSM half-rate VSELP (GSM 06.20) uses 20 ms frames with 112 bits per frame, giving a raw data rate of 5.6 kbit/s. The iDEN VSELP coder has three modes:

A major drawback of VSELP is its limited ability to encode non-speech sounds, so that it performs poorly when encoding speech in the presence of background noise. For this reason, use of VSELP has been gradually phased out in favor of newer codecs.

VSELP is also the proprietary digital vocoder used in early Motorola ASTRO products. It was phased out in favor of the newer IMBE method used for P25.

User:Jennet

Hi, Jennet isn't quite my real name, but close.

I'm interested in truth and justice. Feel free to leave me a message, but my library privileges are only around about once a week. So I might not answer right away.

Pet peeves

 * People with a smug, self satisfied sense of superiority.
 * People who are more interested in being clever than in being right.
 * People and communities who's sense of reality is shaped by communal perception, instead of thought and reasoning.
 * People with minds so open their brain has fallen out.
 * People with no sense of humor.

Articles started

 * Katse Dam
 * Spodium
 * Litz wire
 * Anthony J. Hilder

Animals

 * The less human a person is, the more wapps on the snout with a rolled up newspaper they need to make them behave.

 * The more human a person, the more wapps on the snout they'll suffer to further their cause when they know they are right.

To Do

 * Arm the homeless

Universal truths

 * Stepmothers are bitches

How to raise a child

 * when they do good, encourage and reward them
 * When they do bad, discourage and punish them
 * properly raised children will have faith that their lot in life is a consequence of their choices and behavior

How to ruin a child

 * when they do good, find some way to slap them down (don't let anyone besides the kid see you do it)
 * when they do bad, subtly encourage them, and let them know that they are living up to your expectations that they are a worthless loser. Use acceptance and rejection to reinforce these first two items.
 * poisen the communitie's perception of them.
 * If done properly, the child will have faith that their treatment in life has nothing to do with their behavior and choices, so why even try.

Young people entering the job force

 * The above two sections apply to young people entering the job force for the first time (before they learn the rules of the game).
 * the interesting thing is, that the better the young employee's attitude is, the easier it is to ruin him.
 * Its funner to do to a young man with a wife and two babies depending on him, because that way you have captive prey.

Hyanggyo

  were government-run provincial Confucian schools established during the Goryeo (918–1392), and Joseon (July 1392 – August 1910) periods in Korea. They were established to educate and train officials in Confucian ideals and the ethics of government. In the Joseon period, when Neo-Confucianism replaced Buddhism as the ruling ideology, the government needed to promote the new ideology to create a new social order based on Neo-Confucianism. During this period also, teachers at Hyanggyo received land, royalties, and slaves from the government.

They were officially closed near the end of the Joseon Dynasty, in 1894, but many were reopened as public elementary schools in 1900. They were not widely used during either period.

In the Joseon period, were established in every bu, mok, daedohobu, dohobu, gun, and hyeon (the last corresponding roughly to the size of modern-day cities and counties). They served primarily the children of the yangban, or ruling elite upper-class. Education was oriented toward the gwageo, or national civil service examinations. Although such education was in high demand, the were ultimately unable to compete with the privately run seowon and seodang.

Talk:Individual action against global warming

Article name
"possible individual actions against global warming" sounds like a more appropriate topic title.
 * Now changed from original sociological considerations about greenhouse gases. Rd232 19:39, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

Evaluating the actual contribution of the suggested actions
Suggested actions should better take into consideration the involved parts that contribute to global warming. Contributing factors, or those that were thought of, need to be mentioned with each action.

Controversies/alternative points of view on some suggestions:

-Moving house to reduce the need for heatings isn't energy efficient, but appropriate insulation should be considered instead.

-Investing in private home entertainment systems instead of a collective form will in general consume more energy. The privately owned entertainment systems or the media also need to be transported to the owners home instead of one central location - not just the other way around. Energy spent producing the equipment and entertainment can be expected to be substantial and somewhat associated with the existence of a large private entertainment market.

-New electronics are likely to involve energy wasting component manufacturing methods at some stage. The total contribution may be difficult to estimate, and to a certain degree, manufacturer provided estimates can be expected not to be realistic. Recycling electronics is labour intensive and therefore often done in areas of cheap labour, where there is no control of energy expended.

An encyclopedia article?
How could this article, written as it is, mostly in imperative sentences, be considered encyclopedic. If there's going to be an article on Individual action against global warming, then it should exist to describe what individuals are doing against global warming (with citations), not tell the reader what to do. - Nat Krause(Talk!) 04:15, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Therefore, I propose to change it into a redirect to Mitigation of global warming. - Nat Krause(Talk!) 05:36, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Medieval
Question of nitpicky variety: does the term 'medieval' apply to Korea? If so, how? Or does that simply indicate a correspondence to events in Europe? --Dan 21:13, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:John Loudon McAdam

Query
I once heard that John McAdam was also well known for an outstanding activity not related to his engineering feats. Possibly something to do with orphans. Any assistance in this search would be appreciated as I met a fellow (senior) who wasn't familiar with the importance of the famous surname he shared. This was the first time he had been alerted to that. However, I was embarrassed in that I couldn't paint the rest of the picture. As you can no doubt tell, I'm very nnew to this web thing, but think that such an obscure topic is best suited to this forum. My email address is: keringle3@bigpond.com.au I think! And we only open once a week. Thank you in anticipation...........Rojo?

Name: McAdam vs MacAdam
The name should be discussed, as to why the construction technique is called macadam when it appears that he was known by the abbreviated form. --68.83.72.162 (talk) 18:08, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Agreed. Primary sources are helpful for these kinds of matters...there does *appear* to be one such source listed, but requires a login to access. Usually Scottish names use 'Mac' and Irish names use 'Mc'. May not always been the case though Firejuggler86 (talk) 09:33, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Evolution, not revolution...?
A recent edit to macadam has noted that McAdam's contribution was to greatly simplify a building technique already in use designed by the French engineer Pierre-Marie-Jérôme Trésaguet. It would be appropriate to amend the text in this article accordingly.

EdJogg (talk) 09:56, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Macadam has been further edited with more comprehensive coverage, better explaining the connection between the two methods. -- EdJogg (talk) 12:57, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Emilia McAdam
Emilia McAdam (fl. circa 1900) would have had 64 grandparents of John Loudon's generation (and I'm grateful to last week's QI for this concept—apparently I'm a direct descendent of Emperor Charlemagne). If my fingers-of-one-hand calculation is right—and I'm certainly open to correction here—would it diminish the notability of this piece of information in the article? --Old Moonraker (talk) 22:20, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

You're a direct descendant of Chalemagne? No, what you are is a pathetic idiot who is dumb enough to believe that crap. The records needed to prove that don't fucking exist you twat.

 * Have you seen the original reference in Richard McCreery? Talk about 'padding'! Although it has been in that article since day one (Aug 2006). Since this relationship is not actually referenced you would be quite at liberty to remove it anyway. On the other hand it is traditional with such information to link in both directions. I suspect the fact is rather more significant to Mr McCreery than JLM... -- EdJogg (talk) 11:02, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No strong support here for retention and nothing from Google, other than Wikipedia itself and its parasites, by way of a reference. Item removed. No appetite for doing the same on Richard McCreery, though. --Old Moonraker (talk) 22:06, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

John Loudon McAdam birth date and spelling of his middle name.
According to O.P.R. Births 578/00 0040 0022 Ayr, John Loudon McAdam was born on the 23rd Sept 1756. However it appears to be widely incorrectly stated to be the 21st. Also his middle name was initially recorded as Lathian (or possibly Lothian) and then corrected to Lowdon. I am not sure how the spelling got changed to Loudon, but that is probably closer to the probable origin being Loudoun. Loudon is the spelling that has been used by descendants, through the generations, down to and including the present day. (Including the above "banished" General Sir Richard Loudon McCreery.)

Sir James McAdam's middle name was spelt Nicoll according to his Probate documents, and this would tie in with his mothers maiden name and the names Nicoll Bay and Nicoll Avenue, on Long Island New York, named after the family. Tar mac (talk) 13:18, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Here's an online reference corroborating this. I'll add that to the article. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 11:24, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Cousins?
The colliery supplied coal to the British Tar Company, of Archibald Cochrane, 9th Earl of Dundonald
 * I believe the two of them were cousins. Any reference to support this? Valetude (talk) 07:28, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

 * I believe they were second cousins, their common ancestors being their Great Grandparents John Cochrane 1635-1707 and Margaret Strickland 1625-1670. Tar mac (talk) 00:44, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Death
The northern hemisphere summer runs from June to a usually generous September. Unless he had a long illness I don't see the connection in him returning to Scotland considering he died in late November, a month that is very much NOT summer. 86.27.53.199 (talk) 09:55, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Lagwine / Lagwyne
I don't believe that he lived at Lagwyne with his grandparents. Lagwyne was / is on the western edge of the Waterhead property and was his fathers house until it was burnt down in 1762 about 6 years after it as built. His paternal grandfather died in 1735 and his maternal grandfather in 1729. The ruins of Lagwyne can still be seen. Tar mac (talk) 00:51, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Number Girl

Number Girl (ナンバーガール) was a rock band formed in Fukuoka, Japan, in August, 1995 by guitarist and vocalist Shutoku Mukai. They first disbanded in 2002 following bassist Kentaro Nakao's departure from the band.

Number Girl played fast, guitar-driven rock similar to the Pixies, Sonic Youth, and Hüsker Dü. Over the course of seven years their sound evolved greatly, serving as a basis for Mukai's post-Number Girl project, Zazen Boys.

In February 2019, it was announced that the band would be reuniting to perform at Rising Sun Rock Festival 2019 in Ezo. Although the first day of the festival was cancelled and Number Girl did not perform, they had already announced a four-date Japanese tour by this time, beginning at Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall on August 18. The day after the Hibiya concert, they announced a further twelve Japanese tour dates, set to span over December 2019 to February 2020.

Number Girl disbanded on December 11, 2022, after playing a final concert at Pia Arena MM in Yokohama, "Mujou no Hi" (無常の日).

Number Girl was formed in August 1995, when Shutoku Mukai decided to form a band to play at a local event. A solo artist at the time, Mukai was briefly involved in one band called "Number Five". Learning that his new members were previously in a band called "Cowgirl", he combined the names, and christened his new band "Number Girl".

The original incarnation of Number Girl was unsuccessful, and the collaborating musicians quickly left the group. Mukai invited bassist Kentarō Nakao, who in turn invited guitarist Hisako Tabuchi, whom Nakao knew from her former job operating lighting at the Vivre Hall venue. Mukai convinced a fellow Fukuoka scene musician Ahito Inazawa to play drums, finalizing Number Girl's lineup. The band self-released two demos, "Atari Shock" and "Omoide in My Head", and was also featured on several compilations. Number Girl released their first full-length studio album, School Girl Bye Bye in November 1997 on independent label Automatic Kiss, and released their first single, "Drunken Hearted", several months later.

1998–2001: Major label debut
In 1998, the band began playing shows in the Shimokitazawa area of Tokyo. Gaining a higher profile in Japan's indie rock scene, the band quickly attracted major label attention, and signed with Toshiba EMI, followed by an appearance at the U.S. music event SXSW as part of Japan Nite in March 1999.

In May 1999, their major debut single, "Tōmei Shōjo" (透明少女) was released with their major debut, School Girl Distortional Addict, released the following July. Number Girl quickly gained popularity throughout Japan, playing shows with other high-profile indie acts such as Bloodthirsty Butchers and Eastern Youth. In fall of 1999, Number Girl released the single "Destruction Baby", produced by Flaming Lips producer Dave Fridmann, as well as a live album, Shibuya Rockstransformed Jōtai.

In 2000 the band again entered the studio with producer Dave Fridmann and released their third full-length studio album, Sappukei. Fridmann's production helped the band to reach their full potential, and Sappukei served to combine Number Girl's aggressive rock with traditional Japanese sounds. During this time, they embarked on a brief US tour with Polysics, playing in small clubs through several cities.

After a year of touring, the band again enlisted Dave Fridmann to produce what would become their final studio album, Num-Heavymetallic. Num-Heavymetallic took elements of their previous sound and combined it with Mukai's newly found experimentation. Unusual rhythms, effects-laden guitar lines, and a vocal style which alternated between punk-inspired grit and spoken word, would eventually be incorporated into Mukai's subsequent band, Zazen Boys.

2002: Break-up
The band then set out on their largest tour, playing over thirty dates, to support Num-Heavymetallic. However, on September 20, 2002, the band shocked fans by announcing their dissolution. The reason behind the band's demise is not entirely clear, although it is widely known that bassist Kentarō decided to leave the band. The other members decided that the band was a specific group, and opted to disband rather than replace Nakao. Number Girl played their final show on November 30, 2002, in Sapporo. The recording of the performance would later be released as Sapporo Omoide in My Head Jōtai (サッポロOmoide in My Head状態).

2002-2019: Post-breakup activities
Following the demise of Number Girl, the members each went on to other projects. Nakao joined several bands like Spiral Chord, Sloth Love Chunks, Crypt City, younGSounds and later joined his long time friend Aiha Higurashi for the revival of Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her. Nakao also played as support member for the bands like Mass of the Fermenting Dregs, dry as dust, The Salovers, hammer, fast Tokyo, and produced the band called The Girl. Guitarist Hisako Tabuchi formed her own band Toddle, became a member of Bloodthirsty Butchers and later joined the supergroup Lama consisting of former Supercar members Koji Nakamura and Miki Furukawa. Mukai continued performing as both a solo artist with his "Mukai Shutoku Acoustic & Electric" shows and formed a new band, Zazen Boys alongside drummer Ahito Inazawa. In 2005, Inazawa left Zazen Boys to form post-punk revival band Vola and the Oriental Machine and later joined Beyonds. In 2010, Mukai formed another band called Kimonos.

Toshiba EMI released several posthumous Number Girl recordings under the title Omoide in My Head, consisting of a best-and-b-sides collection, two comprehensive live volumes, a three DVD set consisting of the band's two earlier live albums, and a rare tracks collection.

2019-2022: Reunion
The band made a surprise announcement in February 2019 that they would be reuniting with the original members to re-form the band. Their first live performance was at Rising Sun Rock Festival in August 2019, with future activities yet to be revealed.

Mukai's comment on the band's official website explains how the reunion came about. "I was drunk one day in the beginning of summer 2018," he shares. "And I thought, I want to 'do it' with them again as Number Girl at Rising. I also thought, 'I want to make money.' I was drunk."

Number Girl website posted a gig schedule which is titled "Number Girl Tour 2019-2020".

On 4 May 2021, Number Girl livestreamed a performance at Hibiya Yagai Ongakudo, during which they played 「排水管」 ("Drainpipe"), their first new song in almost 20 years.

On August 13, 2022, Shutoku Mukai announced at Rising Sun Rock Festival 2022 that Number Girl will disband following a final performance at Yokohama PIA Arena MM on December 11.

Musical style
Number Girl's style prior to signing with Toshiba EMI was a brand of indie rock influenced by 70s punk bands such as The Ramones, as well as more contemporary band The Pixies. Although many of Mukai's influences, as diverse as Led Zeppelin, Prince, Miles Davis, and Public Enemy, would not emerge until after Number Girl's demise, his bandmates' combined musical tastes would serve to define much of Number Girl's sound, despite Mukai's clear role as the creative force behind the band. Nirvana is credited as inspiring Nakao Kentarou to begin playing music, but his aggressive, distorted basslines resemble 1980s hardcore punk, such as Hüsker Dü. Tabuchi's mostly melodic lead playing was contrasted by frenetic noise rock sections, inspired by Sonic Youth. Inazawa, often regarded as one of Japan's best rock drummers, was inspired by new wave bands such as The Police and Talking Heads, although these influences would seldom emerge prior the band's final album.

With their 1999 release, "School Girl Distortional Addict", Number Girl moved towards a much heavier sound somewhat reminiscent of post-hardcore. Their 2000 album "Sappukei" built on its predecessor but incorporated a more ethereal quality characteristic of producer Dave Fridmann. Traditional Japanese music influence was also found in songs such as "Urban Guitar Sayonara". Number Girl's final album, "Num-Heavymetallic" continued the fusion of post-hardcore and traditional Japanese music, showing Mukai's evolving musical sensibilities fully expressed in Zazen Boys.

Shutoku's vocal style is one of the band's most distinctive traits, a combination of shaky singing, aggressive growls and screams, spoken word, and occasional rapping. Although most lyrics are in Japanese, his strong songwriting was one of the band's most critically lauded aspects. Shutoku's early lyrics dealt with conventional themes such as high school and girls, reflecting adolescent aggression rather typical of nineties hard rock; however, with later albums, Mukai would begin exploring deeper lyrical themes, such as disillusionment with Japanese culture and harsh social criticism, that distinguished Number Girl from their peers.

Legacy
Many bands have cited Number Girl as an inspiration, including Base Ball Bear, Asian Kung-Fu Generation, tricot, Kinoko Teikoku, Ling Tosite Sigure, kafka, Touming Magazine, Minor School and Art School. They are considered one of the biggest names in the Japanese indie and alternative rock scenes of the late 1990s to early 2000s, along with Supercar and Quruli.

Oldham Mumps tram stop

Oldham Mumps is a tram stop on the Oldham and Rochdale Line (ORL) of Greater Manchester's light-rail Metrolink system in the Mumps area of Oldham which opened in 2014.

A temporary stop of the same name opened to passengers on 13 June 2012 as part of Phase 3a of the system's expansion. Phase 3b resulted in the stop's decommissioning in 2014, and its replacement with the permanent stop at the opposite end of Mumps on a realigned track. The temporary stop was on the site of the original Oldham Mumps railway station, a heavy rail station which opened (initially for haulage) on 1 November 1847 and closed on 3 October 2009 for conversion to Metrolink. It was along the Oldham Loop Line, which operated from Manchester to Rochdale via Oldham and thus was almost identical to the current Metrolink route.

Mainline rail station
Oldham Mumps railway station opened on 1 November 1847 to serve the town of Oldham. The station was a primary station located on the Oldham Loop Line 7+1/2 mi north east of Manchester Victoria operated and managed by Northern Rail.

The name of the station is taken from its situation within the Mumps area of Oldham, which itself probably derived from the archaic word "mumper", slang for a beggar.

The station was reached across the dual-carriageway Oldham bypass, a difficult walk from the town centre. A pedestrian underpass led to the island platform, where there was a ticket office.

The station closed due to the conversion of the line to Metrolink on 3 October 2009 and, by May 2010, had been completely demolished. The station canopy has been saved. It was bought by the East Lancashire Railway after a successful public fund-raising campaign. It is hoped that the canopy will be installed at.

Temporary tram stop
In June 2010, the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE) announced that as part of the conversion of the former Oldham loop, it would submit a planning application for a temporary Metrolink terminus at Oldham Mumps, close to the site of the former railway station. Services to the temporary terminus commenced on Wednesday 13 June 2012

The temporary Metrolink stop was reached by crossing Oldham Way or could be accessed by the free Metroshuttle service, which linked the station with the town centre and bus station.

The 'temporary' Oldham Mumps Metrolink Station closed on 18 January 2014.

Permanent tram stop
The permanent Metrolink station opened on 27 January 2014 on the site of the former B&Q store and is also a bus interchange.

Ichthyosporea

The Ichthyosporea (or DRIP clade, or Mesomycetozoea) are a small group of Opisthokonta in Eukaryota (formerly protists), mostly parasites of fish and other animals.

Significance
They are not particularly distinctive morphologically, appearing in host tissues as enlarged spheres or ovals containing spores, and most were originally classified in various groups as fungi, protozoa, or colorless algae. However, they form a coherent group on molecular trees, closely related to both animals and fungi and so of interest to biologists studying their origins. In a 2008 study they emerge robustly as the sibling-group of the clade Filozoa, which includes the animals.

Huldtgren et al., following x-ray tomography of microfossils of the Ediacaran Doushantuo Formation, has interpreted them as mesomycetozoan spore capsules.

Terminology
The name DRIP is an acronym for the first protozoa identified as members of the group, Cavalier-Smith later treated them as the class Ichthyosporea, since they were all parasites of fish.
 * order Dermocystida
 * "D": Dermocystidium. One species, Rhinosporidium seeberi, infects birds and mammals, including humans.
 * "R": the "rosette agent", now known as Sphaerothecum destruens
 * order Ichthyophonida
 * "I": Ichthyophonus
 * "P": Psorospermium

Since other new members have been added (e.g. the former fungal orders Eccrinales and Amoebidiales), Mendoza et al. suggested changing the name to Mesomycetozoea, which refers to their evolutionary position. On Eukaryota tree, in Opisthokont clade, Mesomycetozoea is in the middle ("Meso-") of the fungi ("-myceto-") and the animals ("-zoea"). Note the name Mesomycetozoa (without a third e) is also used to refer to this group, but Mendoza et al. use it as an alternate name for basal Opisthokonts.

Taxonomy

 * Class Ichthyosporea Cavalier-Smith 1998
 * Order Dermocystida Cavalier-Smith 1998
 * Family Rhinosporidiaceae Mendoza et al. 2001
 * Order Ichthyophonida Cavalier-Smith 1998

Gukhak

The Gukhak was the sole recorded institution of higher learning in the Silla period of medieval Korean history. It provided training in the Chinese classics. An earlier institution, the Taehak, had been founded in 372.

The Gukhak was established early in the Unified Silla period, in 682 (the second year of King Sinmun). During the reign of King Gyeongdeok (r. 742-765) its name was changed briefly to Daehakgam (대학감, 大學監) but reverted to Gukhak during the following reign of King Hyegong (r. 765-780). Like its counterpart in Tang China, the Gukhak was established primarily to train local officials in the Confucian classics and the composition skills requisite for the governance of an enlarged Silla state. The establishment of such an institution was increasingly critical by the 7th century with the maturation of Silla's bureaucratic system modeled upon that of Tang China.

The Gukhak was superseded by the Gukjagam, which was established in Gaegyeong in 992 during the Goryeo dynasty.

Entrance qualifications
In the Gukhak, people who have less than an ambassador or who can have a degree even if they do not. Students were able to enter Gukhak from 15 to 30 years old. When they graduated from the Gukhak, they were given the title of Nama or 'Daema'. It is estimated that most of the students were six-dupum.

Ulster Folk and Transport Museums

Both the Ulster Folk Museum and Ulster Transport Museum are situated in Cultra, Northern Ireland, about 11 km east of the city of Belfast. Now operating as two separate museums, the Folk Museum endeavours to illustrate the way of life and traditions of the people in Northern Ireland, past and present, while the Transport Museum explores and exhibits methods of transport by land, sea and air, past and present. The museums rank among Ireland's foremost visitor attractions and is a former Irish Museum of the Year. The location houses two of four museums included in National Museums NI.

History
Authorised by the Ulster Folk Museum Act (Northern Ireland) 1958, the museum was created to preserve a rural way of life in danger of disappearing forever due to increasing urbanisation and industrialisation in Northern Ireland. The 136 acre site the museum occupies was formally the estate of Sir Robert Kennedy and was acquired in 1961. The museum opened to the public for the first time three years later in 1964.

Exhibits
The Folk Museum houses a variety of old buildings and dwellings which have been collected from various parts of Ireland and rebuilt in the grounds of the museum, brick by brick. The site is devoted to illustrating the rural way of life in the early 20th century, and visitors can stroll through a recreation of the period's countryside complete with farms, cottages, crops, livestock, and visit a typical Ulster town of the time called "Ballycultra", featuring shops, churches, and both terraced and larger housing and a Tea room. Regular activities include open hearth cooking, printing, needlework, and traditional Irish crafts demonstrations. All these new developments have aided UFM in developing a new visitor base and have gained the site international recognition.

The museum is the holder of Northern Ireland's main film, photographic, television and sound archives. The museum holds the BBC Northern Ireland archive of radio and television programmes, and also possesses over 2,000 hours of sound material broadcast between 1972 and 2002 by the Irish language radio station RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta, from its studios in Derrybeg, County Donegal. The museum also maintains an archive of Ulster dialects, and a large library containing over 15,000 books and periodicals. The archives and library are open to the public during office hours.

History
The Transport Museum has its origins in Belfast Corporation's preserved collection of historic transport items, which were temporarily exhibited in the 1950s in a former engine shed near Queen's Quay station. This collection was subsequently expanded and moved to new premises on Witham Street, opening on 1 April 1962. In 1967, the Transport Museum was removed from Belfast Corporation ownership when it was merged with the Ulster Folk Museum. An additional 40 acre of land was purchased at Cultra and the first new gallery was opened in May 1976, although most of the collection remained at Witham Street for the time being. In the 1990s, new larger galleries were constructed at Cultra and the rest of the collection was then moved. These were the railway and road galleries, which opened in 1993 and 1996 respectively.

Exhibits
The Transport Museum houses an extensive transport collection, and endeavours to tell the story of transport in Ireland, from its early history to the modern era. It is the largest railway collection in Ireland.

The Irish Railway Collection tells the story of over 150 years of railway history. Steam locomotives, passenger carriages and goods wagons are combined with extensive railway memorabilia, interactive displays and visitor facilities. One of the collection's main attractions is Great Southern Railways Class 800 locomotive No. 800 Maeḋḃ, one of the three largest and most powerful steam locomotives ever to be built and run in Ireland.

The new Road Transport Galleries boast a large collection of vehicles ranging from cycles and motorcycles to trams, buses, and cars. One of its most famous attractions is a DMC DeLorean car, the model made famous by Back to the Future, and manufactured by the DeLorean Motor Company in Belfast. Recent additions to the collection include a full set of Stanley Woods racing memorabilia, and two of his bikes. Also on display is a Rex McCandless vehicle and an early Formula 1 racing car. In October 2023 a collection of 7 racing motorbikes from local racers, including Joey Dunlop, was opened in the Driven gallery of the museum, as examples of the long history of road racing in Northern Ireland.

The museum boasts a permanent Titanic exhibition, documenting the construction, voyage, and eventual sinking of the ill-fated vessel. The ship has long been associated with Northern Ireland, as it was constructed in the Harland & Wolff shipyards, just a few miles from the museum. The newly refurbished Titanic exhibition, tying in with the Folk museum's 'Titanic Trail' is titled TITANICa. Also on the nautical theme, there is the 120 ton steel schooner Result.

The aircraft on display is the Shorts manufactured Short SC.1, an experimental vertical take-off aeroplane, only two of which were ever produced. The example in the museum, XG905, crashed in 1963, ending up upside down and killing its pilot. It was, however, repaired and flown again before eventually being preserved by the museum.

Railway connection for visitors
Cultra railway station on the Belfast-Bangor railway line provides connections to Sydenham, Belfast Lanyon Place and Belfast Grand Central, Portadown and Newry in one direction and to Bangor in the other direction.

Other museums

 * Beamish Museum – County Durham, England
 * Black Country Living Museum – Dudley, England

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Irish-American Mayors

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was delete. Dmcdevit·t 00:40, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

Irish-American Mayors
Wikipedia does not include lists of loosely associated topics. The property of being Irish-American and the property of being mayor have no connection; this list is useless and nonencyclopedic. Delete it. Angr/undefined 10:06, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nominator reasoning. Also, I do not see many of those redlinks becoming noteworthy articles. --Blu Aardvark | (talk) 10:09, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, should be a subcategory. --malathion talk 10:22, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, in many cities with political machines, the properties of Irishness and mayoralty are tightly linked. Keep--interesting and useful. A category would not consolidate the list in one place by city. Meelar (talk) 19:39, July 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, we already have List of Irish-Americans with a "mayors" section. Also note the history of these two articles; it represents a revert war between two editors, who really need to resolve their problems rather than creating new articles.  Dcarrano 23:00, July 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete for the reasons outlined by the nominator as well as Dcarrano and malathion. I've been trying to get these two to play nice for two weeks now without success, and the only reason this page was created was so 64 could (for a time) avoid LP's supposed vandalism. Will someone please start an RfC on the anon user? LP already has one.—chris.lawson (talk) 00:52, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

This article is not because of a revert war. I would like Lapsed Pacifist not to vandalize it though.

Anyone that thinks there is no connection between Irish-Americans and mayors is ignorant of Irish-American history, American cities history, and American history.

Also some of these redlinks are no longer red because I added information on the people. 64.109.253.204 01:58, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment: Speak of the devil. The above comment is by one of the revert warriors himself (64.109.253.204), complaining about the other (Lapsed Pacifist. Neither is covering himself with glory in the Irish Americans and List of Irish-Americans articles at the moment.

64.109.253.204 21:02, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I did more than just complain about Lapsed Pacifist. That was only one sentence and it was the only one you commented about. Why won't you comment about what else I have said?

 * Delete. The revert warriors ought to try talking to each other and settling their issues instead of constantly reverting and misusing the word "vandalism". --Calton | Talk 09:22, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

64.109.253.204 20:50, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * This is not a revert war. The revert war was at List of Irish-Americans. The Irish-American Mayors page is a legit page and it should be kept. It should not be deleted just because you do not like the person who created it.

64.109.253.204 20:56, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I recomend that the VfD for this page be cancelled because it has become that no one cares about the actual page but would like to see it deleted because they have a problem with me or because of something that happened on Wikipedia unrelated to this topic.

 * Since Angr, Blu Aardvark, malathion, and Dcarrano have given reasons for deleting that don't involve "problems with you", your statement is false on its face. And if it were true, what would that say about you, then? --Calton | Talk 00:19, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * comment - Just to facilitate discussion, there's a fairly good article at African Americans in the United States Congress which appears to be a similar topic. The difference, of course, is that the enfranchisement of African Americans has been a more specific and notable topic than the enfranchisement of urban Irish. Is that enough distinction to rule this article out on its face? I don't know. Dystopos 03:50, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Irish-American mayors are very popular and a list of them makes sense. Saying that African-Americans are more notable is point of view. 64.109.253.204 04:02, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I think you misunderstand my comment. I mean that the political participation of African Americans is more notable because it was specifically restricted by notable policies and events of American history. And I didn't voice an opinion on whether the distinction mattered here, I just brought it up for discussion. Dystopos 04:29, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Weak-Delete Not entirely encyclopedic...--GrandCru 04:20, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and don't make into a category. If it's worthless as a list, it's even more worthless as a category.  Postdlf 04:39, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The author shared this link with me, which if you start reading about a third of the way down, suggests that there is a documented history and focused academic study of the specific role Irish-Americans played in American politics. I now say keep, but move to List of Irish American politicians (and still don't make a category).  Postdlf 05:24, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
