Basic hypergeometric series

In mathematics, basic hypergeometric series, or q-hypergeometric series, are q-analogue generalizations of generalized hypergeometric series, and are in turn generalized by elliptic hypergeometric series. A series xn is called hypergeometric if the ratio of successive terms xn+1/xn is a rational function of n. If the ratio of successive terms is a rational function of qn, then the series is called a basic hypergeometric series. The number q is called the base.

The basic hypergeometric series $${}_2\phi_1(q^{\alpha},q^{\beta};q^{\gamma};q,x)$$ was first considered by. It becomes the hypergeometric series $$F(\alpha,\beta;\gamma;x)$$ in the limit when base $$q =1$$.

Definition
There are two forms of basic hypergeometric series, the unilateral basic hypergeometric series φ, and the more general bilateral basic hypergeometric series ψ. The unilateral basic hypergeometric series is defined as

 * $$\;_{j}\phi_k \left[\begin{matrix}

a_1 & a_2 & \ldots & a_{j} \\ b_1 & b_2 & \ldots & b_k \end{matrix} \frac {(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{j};q)_n} {(b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_k,q;q)_n} \left((-1)^nq^{n\choose 2}\right)^{1+k-j}z^n$$ where
 * q,z \right] = \sum_{n=0}^\infty
 * $$(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_m;q)_n = (a_1;q)_n (a_2;q)_n \ldots (a_m;q)_n$$

and
 * $$(a;q)_n = \prod_{k=0}^{n-1} (1-aq^k)=(1-a)(1-aq)(1-aq^2)\cdots(1-aq^{n-1})$$

is the q-shifted factorial. The most important special case is when j = k + 1, when it becomes
 * $$\;_{k+1}\phi_k \left[\begin{matrix}

a_1 & a_2 & \ldots & a_{k}&a_{k+1} \\ b_1 & b_2 & \ldots & b_{k} \end{matrix} \frac {(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{k+1};q)_n} {(b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_k,q;q)_n} z^n.$$ This series is called balanced if a1 ... ak + 1 = b1 ...bkq. This series is called well poised if a1q = a2b1 = ... = ak + 1bk, and very well poised if in addition a2 = −a3 = qa11/2. The unilateral basic hypergeometric series is a q-analog of the hypergeometric series since
 * q,z \right] = \sum_{n=0}^\infty
 * $$\lim_{q\to 1}\;_{j}\phi_k \left[\begin{matrix}

q^{a_1} & q^{a_2} & \ldots & q^{a_j} \\ q^{b_1} & q^{b_2} & \ldots & q^{b_k} \end{matrix} a_1 & a_2 & \ldots & a_j \\ b_1 & b_2 & \ldots & b_k \end{matrix} holds. The bilateral basic hypergeometric series, corresponding to the bilateral hypergeometric series, is defined as
 * q,(q-1)^{1+k-j} z \right]=\;_{j}F_k \left[\begin{matrix}
 * z \right]$$

 * $$\;_j\psi_k \left[\begin{matrix}

a_1 & a_2 & \ldots & a_j \\ b_1 & b_2 & \ldots & b_k \end{matrix} \frac {(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_j;q)_n} {(b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_k;q)_n} \left((-1)^nq^{n\choose 2}\right)^{k-j}z^n.$$
 * q,z \right] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty

The most important special case is when j = k, when it becomes
 * $$\;_k\psi_k \left[\begin{matrix}

a_1 & a_2 & \ldots & a_k \\ b_1 & b_2 & \ldots & b_k \end{matrix} \frac {(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k;q)_n} {(b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_k;q)_n} z^n.$$
 * q,z \right] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty

The unilateral series can be obtained as a special case of the bilateral one by setting one of the b variables equal to q, at least when none of the a variables is a power of q, as all the terms with n < 0 then vanish.

Simple series
Some simple series expressions include

 * $$\frac{z}{1-q} \;_{2}\phi_1 \left[\begin{matrix}

q \; q \\ q^2 \end{matrix}\;  ; q,z \right] = \frac{z}{1-q} + \frac{z^2}{1-q^2} + \frac{z^3}{1-q^3} + \ldots $$

and

 * $$\frac{z}{1-q^{1/2}} \;_{2}\phi_1 \left[\begin{matrix}

q \; q^{1/2} \\ q^{3/2} \end{matrix}\;  ; q,z \right] = \frac{z}{1-q^{1/2}} + \frac{z^2}{1-q^{3/2}} + \frac{z^3}{1-q^{5/2}} + \ldots $$

and

 * $$\;_{2}\phi_1 \left[\begin{matrix}

q \; -1 \\ -q \end{matrix}\;  ; q,z \right] = 1+ \frac{2z}{1+q} + \frac{2z^2}{1+q^2} + \frac{2z^3}{1+q^3} + \ldots. $$

The q-binomial theorem
The q-binomial theorem (first published in 1811 by Heinrich August Rothe) states that

 * $$\;_{1}\phi_0 (a;q,z) =\frac{(az;q)_\infty}{(z;q)_\infty}= \prod_{n=0}^\infty

\frac {1-aq^n z}{1-q^n z}$$

which follows by repeatedly applying the identity
 * $$\;_{1}\phi_0 (a;q,z) =

\frac {1-az}{1-z} \;_{1}\phi_0 (a;q,qz).$$

The special case of a = 0 is closely related to the q-exponential.

Cauchy binomial theorem
Cauchy binomial theorem is a special case of the q-binomial theorem.
 * $$\sum_{n=0}^{N}y^nq^{n(n+1)/2}\begin{bmatrix}N\\n\end{bmatrix}_q=\prod_{k=1}^{N}\left(1+yq^k\right)\qquad(|q|<1)$$

Ramanujan's identity
Srinivasa Ramanujan gave the identity

 * $$\;_1\psi_1 \left[\begin{matrix} a \\ b \end{matrix} ; q,z \right]

= \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {(a;q)_n} {(b;q)_n} z^n = \frac {(b/a,q,q/az,az;q)_\infty } {(b,b/az,q/a,z;q)_\infty} $$

valid for |q| < 1 and |b/a| < |z| < 1. Similar identities for $$\;_6\psi_6$$ have been given by Bailey. Such identities can be understood to be generalizations of the Jacobi triple product theorem, which can be written using q-series as

 * $$\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty q^{n(n+1)/2}z^n =

(q;q)_\infty \; (-1/z;q)_\infty \; (-zq;q)_\infty.$$

Ken Ono gives a related formal power series

 * $$A(z;q) \stackrel{\rm{def}}{=} \frac{1}{1+z} \sum_{n=0}^\infty

\frac{(z;q)_n}{(-zq;q)_n}z^n = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n z^{2n} q^{n^2}.$$

Watson's contour integral
As an analogue of the Barnes integral for the hypergeometric series, Watson showed that

{}_2\phi_1(a,b;c;q,z) = \frac{-1}{2\pi i}\frac{(a,b;q)_\infty}{(q,c;q)_\infty} \int_{-i\infty}^{i\infty}\frac{(qq^s,cq^s;q)_\infty}{(aq^s,bq^s;q)_\infty}\frac{\pi(-z)^s}{\sin \pi s}ds $$ where the poles of $$(aq^s,bq^s;q)_\infty$$ lie to the left of the contour and the remaining poles lie to the right. There is a similar contour integral for r+1φr. This contour integral gives an analytic continuation of the basic hypergeometric function in z.

Matrix version
The basic hypergeometric matrix function can be defined as follows:

{}_2\phi_1(A,B;C;q,z):= \sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(A;q)_n(B;q)_n}{(C;q)_n(q;q)_n}z^n,\quad (A;q)_0:=1,\quad(A;q)_n:=\prod_{k=0}^{n-1}(1-Aq^k).$$ The ratio test shows that this matrix function is absolutely convergent.

Jodie Marsh

Jodie Louise Marsh (born 23 December 1978) is an English media personality, model and bodybuilder. She has appeared on numerous reality television shows, including Essex Wives (2002), Back to Reality (2004), Love on a Saturday Night (2004), Celebrity Big Brother (2006, 2012), and Big Brother's Bit on the Side (2011–2013). She also featured in her own reality show titled Totally Jodie Marsh (2007).

Marsh began glamour modelling in 2002 on Page 3 of The Sun, for which she appeared six times in total. Her autobiography, Keeping It Real, reached the top 10 on The Sunday Times Bestseller List. She is also known for her fitness regime and natural bodybuilding. Marsh currently operates an animal sanctuary in Great Dunmow, Essex.

Early life
Jodie Louise Marsh was born on 23 December 1978 in Brentwood, Essex to John Marsh and Kristina Marsh, who owned a scaffolding business. She was educated at the independent Brentwood School. She has one brother. Marsh has spoken extensively about her experiences of being bullied at school, which began when she was 11.

She had rhinoplasty aged 16 after experiencing bullying for her nose, which she broke in a hockey accident. Marsh acquired 11A*-A grade GCSEs at school, followed by three A-Levels.

Television career
Marsh was working as a stripper at Stringfellows gentlemen’s club in London when she appeared in the documentary television series Essex Wives in 2002. This led to a number of modelling jobs. She has subsequently participated in many reality television shows, including Trust Me - I'm A Holiday Rep, Channel 4's The Games and E4's Fool Around... with Jodie Marsh on two occasions.

In mid-2008 she had a cameo role in the first episode of Channel 4's Friday night comedy show The Kevin Bishop Show.

Celebrity Big Brother
In January 2006, Marsh appeared on Celebrity Big Brother 4. Marsh's treatment by other contestants provoked debate about whether Marsh was being bullied. Australian feminist writer and ex-Big Brother contestant Germaine Greer wrote a comment piece for The Guardian accusing the show's production company Endemol, presenter Davina McCall, and Marsh's fellow housemates, particularly George Galloway, of bullying.

On 13 January, she was the first to be voted out of the Big Brother house — with 8 out of 10 possible nominations from her fellow housemates, and 42 percent of the public vote.

Post Celebrity Big Brother TV work
Marsh appeared on several of the spinoff shows including: Big Brother's Little Brother, Big Brother's Big Mouth and Big Brother's EForum.

In its second UK series, Marsh showed viewers around her home on MTV's Cribs in 2008. Also in 2008, Marsh appeared on Channel 4's documentary It's Me or the Dog. She was given training tips at home to deal with her six dogs – two bulldogs (Paddy and Lyla) and four chihuahuas (Bean, Baby, Teddy, and Tommy).

Marsh appeared as a contestant in Channel Five's reality show The All Star Talent Show, hosted by Myleene Klass and Andi Peters. Following this, Marsh began presenting her own series, Get A Life for Living TV on 1 March 2007. It was cancelled after two episodes.

On 29 September 2010, Marsh appeared in the one-off documentary Jodie Marsh Tattoo Apprentice which was screened on the channel DMAX.

On 25 January 2012, Marsh appeared on Channel 5's Bullied: My Secret Past. She spoke of the effect bullying had on her and how it has made her who she is today. She also met other victims of bullying.

In April 2013, Channel 5 broadcast the first of two shows titled Jodie Marsh: Bullied. The show features Marsh venturing to the United States to investigate how American schools tackle bullying.

In March 2015, TLC broadcast Jodie Marsh On… Women Who Pay For Sex And Drugs, about women who pay for the services of male escorts.

Marsh has regularly appeared as a TV panelist since 2023 for GB News commentating on the daily headlines.

Totally Jodie Marsh
In May 2007, the website Marry Me Jodie Marsh was launched with the teaser "I'm getting married this September... Only problem is that I don't have a man!" Men were invited to submit an application for a series of open auditions for the chance to marry Marsh that September. MTV filmed the search and subsequent wedding.

The reality series documenting Marsh's search to find a husband, entitled Totally Jodie Marsh: Who'll Take Her Up the Aisle?, premiered in July 2007. Marsh eventually chose Matt Peacock, an ex-boyfriend of fellow glamour model Jordan.

The couple married on 1 September 2007. A second ceremony at her mother’s home was shown on MTV on 2 September 2007. They decided to separate in December 2007. Marsh later admitted to Love It magazine in its 8 January 2008 issue that ".. the marriage was for TV. It was never for real" and "I'm not hiding the fact I did the TV show for money. Of course I did".

Modelling career
Following her appearance on Essex Wives, Marsh modelled for The Sun 's Page 3, which she appeared on six times in total.

Marsh worked with – and appeared in – magazines such as FHM, Loaded, Nuts and Zoo Weekly.

In June 2009, Marsh appeared on the cover of Zoo Weekly for the first time; she also appeared in a number of subsequent issues.

Bodybuilding
At the end of January 2010, Marsh was featured on LA Muscle TV in an hour long show called 6 pack in 4 weeks. Jodie's work on the show resulted in a photo shoot for Muscle and Fitness magazine. In October 2011, Marsh entered the UK Natural Physique Association Bodybuilding Championships in Sheffield, where she was placed 5th overall.

Marsh appeared on Daybreak and The Late Late Show in October 2011.

Marsh's new physique resulted in photoshoots and interviews with various magazines. OK! magazine featured an "at home" interview on 11 October 2011. Heat magazine followed on 12 October 2011.

In 2012, Marsh featured in two TV shows for the DMAX network. The first, Jodie Marsh: Bodybuilder chronicled Marsh's attempts to compete with only weeks of training. The second show, Jodie Marsh: Brawn in the USA, featured Jodie winning gold in the International Natural Bodybuilding Federation Bodybuilding Championships in Los Angeles in June 2012.

Marsh owns a nutritional food supplements firm called JST Nutrition. In 2021, she was named by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), the UK's advertising watchdog, on a list of 122 Instagram influencers who have repeatedly violated ASA regulations.

Writing
In 2005, Marsh published her autobiography Keeping It Real. The hardback was released in 2005, followed by a paperback version in 2006. The hardback version reached the top 10 on the Amazon best-sellers list.

Marsh was previously Zoo Weekly magazine's "sexpert", advising men on sex-related issues. Her choice as an agony aunt angered some established professionals. She defended herself against these claims, stating, "I haven't exactly got a degree in psychology but I just love sex, don't I?"

Animal welfare
Marsh is the owner of Fripps Farm, an animal sanctuary in Great Dunmow, Essex. The sanctuary is home to more than 400 animals and according to Marsh costs £16,000 a month to manage. Marsh has stated that she uses her OnlyFans account to raise funds for her sanctuary.

Marsh has been a vegetarian since the age of 5 and recently became vegan.

Personal life
In December 2006, Marsh announced her engagement to Brentwood DJ David Doyle (II), after dating for 11 days. Eschewing the traditional engagement ring, Marsh instead tattooed Doyle's full name on her hand and the couple appeared together in OK! magazine announcing their plan to marry in a fetish ceremony in a dungeon. The relationship ended between late December and mid-January 2007. Marsh claimed Doyle had been unfaithful.

In 2015, Marsh married personal trainer James Placido. She claimed that she was celibate for 5 years before she met Placido. The couple got divorced after eight months in April 2016.

Controversies
In 2004, Marsh sold a story to the News of the World claiming that she had had a sexual liaison as a teenager with Chelsea F.C. midfielder Frank Lampard who was in the year above her at Brentwood School. Lampard denied the claims and filed a complaint with the Press Complaints Commission. The complaint was not upheld.

Re: XEMICS
Hello Roy,

I see you deleted the article about XEMICS, probably to avoid advertising for that company. XEMICS does not exist anymore but is was part of an important contribution to the low-power micro-electronics, that's the reason why I added this article.

I shall propose an article about the company again, but I could write it differently if you consider it will fit the Wikipedia rules better. mchevroulet 23:30, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I did not delete the article—an admin did. I nominated the article for deletion because nothing in the article indicated why the company was notable. See WP:NOT for general guidelines on notability, and WP:CORP for notability guidelines pertaining to companies. Best of luck in your re-write, I hope it passes muster next time. Cheers!

John Wheatley, Baron Wheatley

John Thomas Wheatley, Baron Wheatley, (17 January 1908 – 28 July 1988) was a Scottish Labour politician and judge.

Biography
Wheatley was born on 17 January 1908 in Shettleston, Glasgow, the third and youngest child of Janet (1877–1951), a pupil teacher and daughter of Peter Murphy, a labourer from Belfast, and Patrick Wheatley (1875–1937), sometime miner and later publisher, who was born in County Waterford. He was educated at St. Aloysius' College, Glasgow, Mount St Mary's College near Sheffield, and the University of Glasgow. He was admitted as an advocate in 1932.

He served in the Royal Artillery and the Judge Advocate Generals' Branch during World War II. As an advocate, he appeared before the Court of Session in his military uniform. As a young man he played football for Shettleston F.C.

He was an unsuccessful parliamentary candidate for Bute and North Ayrshire in 1945 and for Glasgow Bridgeton in 1946, where he was defeated by the Independent Labour Party candidate. He was elected for Edinburgh East at a by-election in November 1947 and sat for the constituency until 1954. During his time in the Commons, he never made a Maiden Speech.

He was Solicitor General for Scotland from March to October 1947, when he was appointed Lord Advocate. He was appointed a King's Counsel (KC) and a Privy Counsellor (PC) in 1947. One of his most significant achievements as a politician was the establishment of the legal aid scheme in Scotland. He was appointed to the bench, with the judicial title Lord Wheatley. In 1963, he heard the notorious divorce case of Ian Campbell, 11th Duke of Argyll. He granted the Duke a divorce and, in his written opinion, was harshly critical of the Duchess. In 1966 he was appointed chairman of the Royal Commission on Local Government in Scotland.

The resulting "Wheatley Report", published in 1969, led to the eventual introduction a new system of Scottish local authorities. On 28 July 1970 he was created a life peer, as Baron Wheatley, of Shettleston in the County of the City of Glasgow. In December 1972 he was appointed to succeed Lord Grant as Lord Justice Clerk, a post he held until 1985.

Following the Ibrox disaster in 1971, Wheatley was appointed by the government to conduct an inquiry into safety at sports grounds. His 1972 report became the basis for the Green Guide.

Wheatley was a lifelong Roman Catholic. He was also known for hard sentencing of crimes involving sex. While Lord Justice-Clerk (an appeal judge), he exercised his right to sit as a trial judge in criminal cases, and handed out long sentences for such crimes.

Posthumous
It was Wheatley's memorial service in 1988 which was attended by his old friend Lord Mackay of Clashfern, at the time Lord Chancellor. As a member of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland, which strongly disapproves of Roman Catholicism, Mackay was disciplined by his church for having attended the memorial service.

Family
His uncle was the Shettleston MP John Wheatley, minister of housing in the 1924 Labour government. Wheatley married Nancy Nichol in 1935. The couple had four sons and a daughter. Wheatley's son-in-law was Tam Dalyell, former father of the House of Commons, who married Wheatley's daughter, Kathleen, in 1963.

John Corrigan

John Corrigan (born 1952) is an American religion scholar and historian, known for being the author of a number of books on the history of religion and emotion, and the digital humanities. He is the Lucius Moody Bristol Distinguished Professor of Religion and Professor of History, and Distinguished Research Professor at Florida State University (FSU). He is a leader in the academic study of religion and emotion and in the field of the spatial humanities. His narrative histories of religion in America are widely adopted in university courses.

Biography
Corrigan was born in Chicago, Illinois in October, 1952. He studied English Romantic poetry as a college undergraduate, writing a thesis on the poetry of William Blake. Following his graduation in 1972 he resided in different parts of the U.S. and was employed at various times as a cab driver, cook, tree surgeon, in a textile mill, on a farm, at a zoo, and in an office, eventually returning to Chicago where he worked as a union bricklayer. He undertook doctoral work in American religious history at the University of Chicago, defending with distinction a Ph.D. dissertation about the Revolutionary era in 1982.

Corrigan subsequently held academic posts at the University of Virginia, Harvard University, Arizona State University, Oxford University, University of London, University of Halle-Wittenberg, Columbia University, and University College (Dublin), and as a visiting scholar at the American Academy in Rome, Research Associate at the American Antiquarian Society, and the Fulbright Distinguished Research Chair for the Netherlands. He was a Fulbright Specialist for Australia. He joined the religion and history departments at Florida State University in 2001, where he also was the founding director of the Institute for the Study of Emotion.

Corrigan was coeditor of the journal Church History: Studies in Christianity and Culture (Cambridge University Press) from 2003 to 2016. He was editor of the Chicago History of American Religion, a book series published by the University of Chicago Press, and is co-editor of The Spatial Humanities, a book series published by Indiana University Press and Routledge. He is editor-in-chief of The Oxford Encyclopedia of Religion in America.

Scholarship
Corrigan's contributions to scholarship are in three overlapping areas: American religious history, religion and emotion, and the spatial humanities.

American religious history
Corrigan has written books that collectively address the sweep of American religious history from the colonial period to the present. Those books take emotion to be a central part of religious life and analyze it historically. The Hidden Balance (1987) argued that certain key eighteenth-century American religious thinkers and social theorists understood thinking and feeling to be conjoined in religious life just as they were in social and political life. The Prism of Piety (1991) proposed that understandings of emotion as a physical experience were central to the religious lives of colonial New Englanders. In Business of the Heart (2002) Corrigan evidenced the way in which emotion was imagined as a commodity in the nineteenth century, exchanged between individuals according to feeling rules, and conceptualized as both affective capital and a medium of trade between persons and a Protestant God. Emptiness: Feeling Christian in America (2015) tracked the deliberate Christian cultivation of the feeling of emptiness throughout American history and the social divisions related to that. The topic of emotion is prominent in his textbook Religion in America. Corrigan's study of emotion led him to the specific feeling of hatred. His books on religious intolerance directly address the problem of religious hatred and how historically it has issued in violence. Religious Intolerance in America (co-authored with Lynn Neal, 2010), and Religious Intolerance, America, and the World (2020) analyze the history of religious intolerance in America, sometimes with an eye to broader global developments, and in relation to feeling as a central aspect of religiously-inspired violence.

The study of religion and emotion
Corrigan has claimed that the historical and critical study of emotion is crucial to the advancement of the academic field of religious studies. He contends that a residual parochialism in the field, which equated something thought to be mysterious about religion with something thought to be equally mysterious about emotion, framed emotion as an irreducible datum and discouraged analytical and scientific approaches to its study. His approach combines the history of emotions with insights drawn from philosophy, anthropology, psychology, and brain science. He has advised that scholars must take care to avoid creating a highly specialized and technical "secret language" to talk about emotion if progress is to be made investigating it alongside religion. He has maintained that the most promising approach is through interdisciplinary collaborations. Religion and Emotion: Approaches and Interpretations (2004), The Oxford Handbook of Religion and Emotion (2006), and Feeling Religion (2018) are efforts to bring a wide field of disciplinary perspectives and voices to the study of religion and emotion.

Spatial humanities
The term "spatial humanities," which has been globally adopted, was coined by Corrigan, David Bodenhamer, and Trevor Harris at an expert workshop at the Polis Center in 2008. It identifies a collaboration between humanities scholars and other researchers, and especially the ways in which scholarship that exploits digitally-enabled representations of space (through GIS and media software) can help to bridge the epistemological divide between the humanities and the sciences. Corrigan and others have proposed that the "deep map," a detailed, multilayered, fluid, and polyvocal representation of space that blends quantitative and qualitative data, is a promising tool for the study of culture. That idea, outlined in Deep Maps (2015), informs parts of the multi-volume Oxford Encyclopedia of Religion in America (2018), one-fifth of which is dedicated to the topic of religion and space.

Reception
Corrigan's focus on religion, emotion, space, and power amounts to what the London Times Literary Supplement characterized as an effort to demonstrate how religion seeks to "mediate a comprehensive map of the world." It is a history that offers "a complex account of group identity and boundary-making." While Corrigan has "explicitly brought emotions and religion under the analytical microscope," and for that has been called "our doyen of the study of religion and emotion," his research has been criticized as more history of emotions than history of religion and for overestimating forms of social control, including the power of emotional scripts.

Academic awards
Corrigan has been awarded fellowships for professors from the National Endowment for the Humanities, National Humanities Center, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, American Council of Learned Societies, and the Fulbright program, and he was an Antibigotry Convening Fellow at the Center for Antiracist Research. In 2017 he was designated Alumnus of the Year of the University of Chicago Divinity School. In 2016 he was named the Director of the Jessie Ball du Pont Faculty Seminar at the National Humanities Center.

List of characters in the Honorverse

This is a list of fictional characters appearing in the stories set in the Honor Harrington universe or Honorverse, a best-selling series of over twenty military science fiction novels and anthologies invented and written by David Weber.

The stories in the five existing anthologies serve to introduce characters, provide a deeper and more complete backstory, and flesh out the universe, so they claim the same canonical relevance as exposition in the main series. Universe creator David Weber serves as editor for the anthologies, maintaining fidelity to the series canons.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Blackface/archive1

Blackface
This article was nominated back in December (see Archive1), and failed. The two basic reasons were (1) a lack of references, and (2) complaints about section headers. Both of these problems have been fixed. It's a well-written article on an important and lesser-known part of American culture. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 17:11, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

 * For the record, a clarification: the section headers were changed satisfactorily during the old FAC process. deeceevoice 11:12, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

support The suggestion in the article that Zwarte Piet is very controversial has been corrected, but I find the "references" for Zwarte Piet unscholarly and flimsy: just an article on a website. I could easily go to the library and find better references (in Dutch language) for Zwarte Piet, please give me more time. Also I think that the lead section could be longer. I continue to object because the references and external links formats could be better. Also the lead section should include Zwarte Piet. Also some information on Zwarte Piet must be corrected: he is not really a Christmas figure. He appears on 5 or 6 December. The article falsely suggests or even says that Zwarte Piet is very controversial in the Netherlands. May be Zwarte Piet should be very controversial but it is only a bit controversial. Also, I find the statement that Zwarte Piet sometimes is associated with satan doubtful. Andries 18:24, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * mild object Support The lead section is too short for an article of this length. While it is difficult to present material on this subject in an NPOV manner, the prominence of the terms "darky" in a section header and "nigger" in the Related Topics section stands out and overshadows the rest of the prose.  As I read the article, I found it hard to ignore these terms.  slambo 18:13, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * I wrote most of the article in its current form -- and, in particular the lead paragraph which contains the language about which you express concerns. I am an African American and chose the words purposefully, as they go to the heart of what blackface is.  (The original version read, "Blackface is a type of character performance in which performers paint their faces black (with burnt cork or greasepaint makeup) in a manner that presents a crude caricature of African features," which I viewed as completely unsatisfactory and did not address the essential, core racism of the genre, both in its style and substance.)  I was not aware that the article would be resubmitted for featured article status and did not review it thoroughly beforehand, but noticing some activity with the article (during which time I, curiously, was inexplicably blocked from editing only it), I did notice that someone (when, I do not know) had included Nigger in the "Related topics" section.  Once I was able to edit the article again, I removed the reference because I thought it gratuitous and inappropriate, before I even read your remarks.  Generally, I share your concerns about the use of blatantly racist terms; however, one cannot frankly and honestly write about a subject such as blackface and not use them. (Contrast the treatment of the subject in this article and the treatment of it in Minstrel show, where "racism" was not mentioned even once before I interjected it after commenting on the piece oin the article's talk page and waiting and waiting to see what happened with the piece.  The excuse given for the glaring omissions in the article was that the writers wished to avoid controversy.  I think it is best to address such matters head on.  To date, Blackface actually has generated little controversy of the type the contributors to Minstrel show feared -- nothing beyond the usual editing issues.  While I often have critical things to say about this web site, I think Wikipedia editors and our readers are to be credited for the manner in which this article has been both created (by many editors) and received.  The piece thus far also has not been the target of the usual racist vandalism that is so commonplace/pervasive with articles treating African Americans and blacks, geneerally, on the web site -- though that likely will change should "Blackface" be granted FAS). The Minstrel show, IMO, it remains weak and antiseptic and completely fails to address the pervasive influence of the form on race, race relations and the perception of blacks -- which is a travesty.  The article, IMO, is little more than worthless and reads like something out of the 1940s.  It's a dismal failure.  Sorry, but that's my opinion.) Blackface, on the other hand, I think, is exemplary -- because of a spirit of openminded collaboration and, I think, a desire on the part of all involved to examine the topic honestly and directly.  I may be mistaken, but such does not happen often on Wikipedia in potentially sensitive matters of "race" and ethnicity -- at least not in my experience.  Once I realized the article had been resubmitted, I made other changes, as well (as have other contributors), to which I hope there will be no objection.  I think the article in its present form is certainly featured  article caliber. deeceevoice 10:46, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps the lead section should be expanded. I'm not sure what to do about the "darky" and "nigger" complaints though. It isn't really possibly to fully cover the topic without those words. I'm sorry that overshadows the prose for you, but I'm not sure what to do about it. 19:22, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is tough on a subject like this to be uncontroversial. The terms should be included as they are a part of the culture of the time, they're just a little jarring to me.  I'll re-read it later tonight and see what I think again. slambo 11:36, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Update - I have expanded the intro. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 20:13, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * The introductory section has been extended and then that has been revised extensively to be more general/inclusive. I think it's good to go.  deeceevoice 01:28, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I've just re-read the article, and upgraded my vote to Support. Well done!  The only thing that I can think of that may be left to mention is that many collectors are now specializing in the black icons from the first half of the 20th century.  Whether it's to preserve history or out of a fascination for the subject is up for debate, but interesting nonetheless.  BTW, as I grew up in Los Angeles, we often ate at the local Sambo's restaurant (themed on the story of Little Black Sambo).  I remember the iconography and when they tried to clean it up (and before you ask, that's not the source of my online handle; that came from putting my first initial (S) and last name (Lamb) on my gym clothes in 6th grade (it looked like "SLamb"), and since Rambo was popular then, it was only natural to add the o). slambo 03:23, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * The article never made a pronouncment about the degree to which Zwarte Piet was controversial; it merely stated the issues on both sides. Andries raised this objection before, and others seemed to take my view. We assumed the matter was settled.  However, Andries made a few addition which seem reasonable and which contribute to the article, and I think everyone is now pleased with the article in this respect. Further, the suggestion that ZP should appear in the lead is (no offense intended) ridiculous. deeceevoice 11:07, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The article also includes 7 external links about Zwarte Piet that I think, on the whole, back up the suggestion that it is controversial in the Netherlands and sometimes associated with Satan. I'm not sure that should be removed. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 19:22, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * I have already discussed this on the talk page and I continue to disagree. I will look at the association with satan later. Andries 20:08, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Zwarte Piet's association with Knecht Ruprecht is accurate. As a matter of fact, at one time, Zwarte Piet redirected to KR -- before I removed the redirect and started a stub. deeceevoice 11:10, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The standing objection of Andries that Zwarte Piet should be included in the lead is a shaky one. There is absolutely no reason to mention ZP in the lead paragraphs of the piece.  ZP is relevant to the article only insofar as he is an example of blackface darky iconography.  In this manner, he is no more worthy of inclusion in the lead paragraph(s) than the Cape Coons, or Shirley Q. Liquor.  deeceevoice 13:58, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree that ZP should not be in the lead paragraph. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 18:32, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * You object, saying that the external links and references sections could be formatted better. I looked over them carefully, but I don't see how they could be improved. Could you be more specific? I take that back; I found ways to improve those sections, and I have done so. I hope this satisfies all you objections about this. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 18:50, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Sheesh, you're tough one. Amazon lists exactly 2 books on Zwarte Piet, and one is long out of print with very little information. I added the other as a reference. I have also expanded the lead section again. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 19:50, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Of course, Dutch libraries have better info on Zwarte Piet, but as I said I need time to find and read them. I object to your addition as references of a book that you have not read and used for the article. The right section for that would be biblography, not references. Andries 19:57, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay, that's been fixed now too. Of course the article can be improved, but have we finally satisfied all your objections? – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 02:29, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

 * Object.
 * The image Image:Bert Williams blackface 2.jpg is listed as a promotional photo with known source, but the source is not listed. Further, the promophoto license is not a completely free license.
 * The image Image:Al Jolson Jazz Singer.JPG is claimed as "fair use". Wikipedia is not just an encyclopedia, it is a free content encyclopedia, so fair use images should be avoided if at all possible.
 * --Carnildo 18:53, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Hm, good point. I'll see if I can find some acceptable PD images. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 19:22, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Update - I have added three public domain images. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 20:13, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, make that two. The pics were moved to, IMO, more appropriate places in the article, and the number of sheet music images reduced to one (the caption was a bit off on one and less colorful, so I chose to delete that one).  The only other image I had planned to add was something, probably, of my collection of artifacts -- to illustrate the breath of use of darky iconography in everyday objects. But I don't know when I'll get around to it.  I had considered a photo gallery of sorts to illustrate the continuum of development of darky iconography from its beginnings to the present day, but, given the article size already, I don't know how feasible/desirable that would be.)    As it stands now, I think the new images are valuable additions.  As for the other images under discussion, I can't say.  I do know the ones I added are free and clear.  If the blackface Jolson cannot be cleared, I'm certain we can find another photo of a white in blackface that will do.deeceevoice 10:57, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Photo update - Photo of Jolsen replaced w/repro of old minstrel poster (expired copyright). This will do for now.  deeceevoice 11:11, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * With the information I added on blacks in blackface (which also speaks to blackface's origins, or certainly its early days), I felt much of it didn't belong in "The shaping of racist archetypes." Moving that information to "Origins" wouldn't work, so I combined the two under one subhead, "History and the shaping of racist archetypes."  ("Origins" was too short, anyway -- especially if one disregarded the photo.) I hope that meets with no opposition. deeceevoice 11:25, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong support. It's a good article. But I should say I've been heavily involved in the writing of the piece.  I guess, with this vote, I should disclose my inherent bias. :p  I'm waiting to hear from another editor about something, but no article on Wikipedia is ever finished.  As it stands, I think it's intelligent and thorough and imminently worthy of featured articcle status.deeceevoice 22:59, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Support excellent article. Morwen - Talk 13:41, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong support. One of the best articles I have read on the subject. I missed most of the earlier debates (see above) about the article but reading the current version I don't see why this shouldn't be a featured article.--Alabamaboy 13:31, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Ghemical
Hi Pansanel, why have you removed the Ghemical MIME again? I know that there is still no entry in there about Ghemical, but ... JKW 16:52, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi JKW, after the discussion on BO mailing list, Ghemical can not be added to [|Chemical MIME] Project. I need to add a new section on the Chemical File Format page about Ghemical MIME (like GROMACS or CHARMM format). As the ghemical file format is specific to the ghemical application, the mime type would be: application/x-ghemical. Pansanel 13:18, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Nylon Angel

Nylon Angel is a postcyberpunk novel by science fiction author Marianne de Pierres

Plot summary
The story is set in post-apocalyptic Australia, around a city called the Tert. There, a bounty hunter/bodyguard named Parrish Plessis has ended up working for a ganglord called Jamon Mondo. She wants out, and her answer arrives in the form of two men wanted in connection with the killing of a journalist called Razz Retribution (In this world, the army, churches and the government have given up on the world, so it is now ruled by the media).

The story is divided between the Tert, a rundown slum reminiscent of Mega-City One, and Viva City (a pun on the word vivacity), a walled suburb some forty kilometres up the coast.

Reception
Cameron Woodhead of The Age called the book "a trashy, imaginative piece of cyberpunk". He said, "The novel has its problems but there is enough fashion-conscious brutality to distract you from them. A compelling blend of Mad Max and James Cameron's Dark Angel." Writing for The Canberra Times, Maxine McArthur said, "It's a strong narrative told by female bodyguard/adventurer Parrish Plessis. Be prepared for breathless action, a cyberpunk flavour, a little voodoo, and (possibly) a science-fiction core to the plot."

In a largely positive review, The Sydney Morning Herald critic Tim Cadman stated, "The plot is a bit slow to get going and concentration on the protagonist makes the other characters a little one-dimensional, but this is fortunately counterbalanced by vivid descriptions of life in the slums that have an almost cinematic quality. Occasional touches of Australiana add local colour to the underlying themes of urban decay and media exploitation, and it is this combination that makes the book an exciting and adrenalin-pumping read."

Adaptations
A role playing game based on the series has been created by White Mice Worldbuilding.

OCB mode

Offset codebook mode (OCB mode) is an authenticated encryption mode of operation for cryptographic block ciphers. OCB mode was designed by Phillip Rogaway, who credits Mihir Bellare, John Black, and Ted Krovetz with assistance and comments on the designs. It is based on the integrity-aware parallelizeable mode (IAPM) of authenticated encryption by Charanjit S. Jutla. The OCB2 version was proven insecure, while the original OCB1 as well as OCB3 from 2011 are still considered secure.

Encryption and authentication
OCB mode was designed to provide both message authentication and privacy. It is essentially a scheme for integrating a message authentication code (MAC) into the operation of a block cipher. In this way, OCB mode avoids the need to use two systems: a MAC for authentication and encryption for confidentiality. This results in lower computational cost compared to using separate encryption and authentication functions.

There are three versions of OCB: OCB1, OCB2 and OCB3. OCB1 was published in 2001. OCB2 improves on OCB1 by allowing associated data to be included with the message, providing authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD; that is, data that are not encrypted but should be authenticated) and a new method for generating a sequence of offsets. OCB2 was first published in 2003, originally named authenticated-encryption mode, or advanced encryption mode (AEM) and was shown to be completely insecure in 2019. OCB3, published in 2011, changes again the way offsets are computed and introduces minor performance improvements.

OCB2 was standardized in ISO/IEC19772:2009 (although it was removed from the standard following the publication of the attack) and a modified OCB3 in RFC7253. The RFC encodes the tag length into the internally formatted nonce.

Performance
OCB performance overhead is minimal compared to classical, non-authenticating modes like cipher block chaining. OCB requires one block cipher operation per block of encrypted and authenticated message, and one block cipher operation per block of associated data. There is also one extra block cipher operation required at the end of process.

For comparison, CCM mode offering similar functionality requires twice as many block cipher operations per message block (associated data requires one, as in OCB).

Patents
While OCB is now public domain, Rogaway initially patented OCB mode so that they could charge for commercial licenses and in attempt to stop their work showing up in military-related projects. Rogaway intentionally abandoned their OCB patents in 2021.

Two U.S. patents were issued for OCB mode. The patents have hindered approval by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

While OCB mode was patented, Rogaway made three licenses available to allow OCB mode to be freely used in software licensed under the GNU General Public License (later any open source license certified by the Open Source Initiative ), non-commercial non-military projects, and in OpenSSL.

Since Rogaway only applied for patent protection in the U.S., the algorithm has always been free to use in software not developed and not sold inside the U.S.

Attacks
Niels Ferguson pointed out collision attacks on OCB, which limits the amount of data that can be securely processed under a single key to about 280 terabytes.

In October 2018, Inoue and Minematsu presented an existential forgery attack against OCB2 that requires only a single prior encryption query and almost no computational power or storage. The attack does not extend to OCB1 or OCB3, and it requires that the associated data field of the forged ciphertext be empty. Poettering and Iwata improved the forgery attack to a full plaintext recovery attack just a couple of days later. The four authors later produced a joint report.

Talk:Treaty on Basic Relations Between Japan and the Republic of Korea

What??
This section makes no sense at all. Looks like it was translated by a computer:

 * Two is made from English, Japanese, and Korean (Korean language), and the agreement is being kept respectively by the two countries. It is known that there was US's initiation behind this negotiation since about July, 1951, and South Korea cannot become the country concerned of Peace Treaty signed in San Francisco, the president Syngman Rhee at that time hopes for direct talks with Japan, and there is details from which the conference (Preparatory talks : on October 20, 1951) is begun in diplomatic director of a bureau's Siebold attendance in highest command (SCAP) in Tokyo in Allied Forces.

Didn't want to remove it because it might be important...if one could understand it. PhnxFyreG (talk) 05:00, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Many sources missing
Almost all sources for the final section on compensation are missing. This should be fixed as soon as possible, as the claims made are quite important, and relatively difficult to verify online. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Niyab (talk • contribs) 13:15, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Comparison of compensation between Japan and Germany
4.23.83.100 added a comparison of compensation between Japan and Germany. However the source only says the amount of money Germany paid. There is no mention of a comparison of compensation between Japan and Germany in the source. Nazi massacred 10 million people while Japan increased the population of Korea by 13 million. The situations were completely different. The fact that the compensation of Nazi was huge simply means Nazi did the wrongdoing far more than Japan. It is ridiculous to compare the compensation without considering what the compensation was paid for. Such comparison is clearly original research. Unless there is a reliable source which compares the compensation of two countries, the original research should not be added.―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 05:12, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Agreement Between Japan and the Republic of Korea Concerning the Settlement of Problems in Regard to Property and Claims and Economic Cooperation
I've seen this on a couple of pages(財産及び請求権に関する問題の解決並びに経済協力に関する日本国と大韓民国との間の協定). However, this agreement is covered in this article. In fact, it takes up most of the article space. Is there a reason to have separate articles. For now, I'll just set up a redirect. XinJeisan (talk) 09:25, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Continental Airlines Flight 1713

Continental Airlines Flight 1713 was a commercial airline flight that crashed while taking off in a snowstorm from Stapleton International Airport in Denver, Colorado, on November 15, 1987. The Douglas DC-9 airliner, operated by Continental Airlines, was making a scheduled flight to Boise, Idaho. Twenty-five passengers and three crew members died in the crash.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation of the accident determined that the most probable cause of the accident was the failure on the part of the pilot in command to have the aircraft deiced a second time before takeoff.

Aircraft
Flight 1713 was operated using a 21-year old Douglas DC-9-14, a twin-engined, narrow-body jet airliner with the registration number N626TX. The aircraft was equipped with two Pratt & Whitney JT8D-7B engines. It was originally delivered to Air Canada in May 1966 and sold to Texas International Airlines in 1968, where it served the majority of its service until Texas International was acquired by Continental in 1982. In 21 years of service, it had accumulated over 52,400 flight hours and over 61,800 cycles.

Crew
The captain was 43-year-old Frank Benjamin Zvonek Jr., who had been with Continental Airlines since 1969. He had 12,125 hours of flight experience, but only 166 hours on the DC-9, or "in type." He had been upgraded to captain less than three weeks earlier. The first officer was 26-year-old Lee Edward Bruecher, hired by Continental four months earlier; he had previously flown for Rio Airways and passed his initial proficiency check in the DC-9 in mid-September. He had 3,186 flight hours, but only 36 hours on the DC-9, which was the extent of his turbojet experience and he had not flown at all for the past 24 days. The cabin crew consisted of three flight attendants.

Weather
At the time of the accident on Sunday afternoon, the National Weather Service was reporting moderate wet snow at Stapleton International Airport. The heaviest snowfall rate occurred between 13:10 and 14:20 MST, with the peak snowfall rate occurring around 13:50.

Accident
Continental Airlines Flight 1713 was scheduled to depart Denver at 12:25, but many flights out of Denver that day were delayed by the inclement weather. At 13:03, Flight 1713 taxied from its gate to the deicing pad; unfortunately, air traffic controllers were not aware that Flight 1713 had departed the gate because the flight crew had done so without first requesting taxi clearance. Deicing was completed at 13:46.

At 13:51, Flight 1713 contacted the clearance delivery controller for permission to "taxi from the ice pad." The clearance delivery controller, believing that Flight 1713 was still at the gate and requesting to proceed to deicing, instructed the flight to contact Ground Control, who then cleared Flight 1713 to taxi to the deicing pad. Having already completed deicing, Flight 1713's crew seem to have interpreted this new clearance to mean they could now taxi from the pad and proceed to the runway.

At 14:05, Flight 1713 was lined up on the number-one position at the north end of Runway 35L and the crew was ready for take off. Not kept properly informed of Flight 1713’s position, the air traffic controllers tried repeatedly to have different planes take off, leaving Flight 1713 standing in the falling snow for several minutes and opening the airliner to the risk of "wing contamination" by ice. Flight 1713 then notified air traffic controllers that they were holding at the start of the runway and awaiting takeoff instructions.

Flight 1713 was cleared for takeoff at 14:14. As the DC-9 was taking off, the pilot in control over-rotated; the aircraft descended and the left wing struck the ground, causing the wing to separate. A fuel-fed flash fire ignited in the left wing shortly after it struck the ground, causing a "fireball" inside the cabin. The left side of the fuselage and cockpit struck the ground next and the plane continued rolling until inverted. As the DC-9 skidded, the left side was tilted over and the tail was inverted; this action caused the center section of the fuselage to compress and crush many of the passengers on board.

A total of 25 passengers and three crew members died due to the crash; the final two fatalities succumbed while hospitalized. The captain, the first officer, one flight attendant and 11 of the passengers died from blunt trauma. In addition, five passengers died of head injuries secondary to blunt trauma and 9 passengers died of asphyxia. The remaining 52 passengers and two flight attendants survived. Of the surviving passengers, 25 received minor injuries and 27 received serious injuries. Fitzsimons Army Medical Center sent its personnel to assist in the triage of passengers and 10 hospitals treated the survivors.

Investigation
The NTSB investigated the accident.

In July 1988, Continental Airlines filed a report with the NTSB positing the causes of the crash as wake turbulence, poor snow plowing on the runway and errors by air traffic controllers. However, the NTSB investigated the wake-turbulence theory and concluded that wake turbulence from the preceding flight would not have affected Flight 1713.

During the investigation, the crew's low levels of experience on the DC-9 were brought up as possible causes. Investigators also discovered that before he began working for Continental, Bruecher had been dismissed from another airline after failing on three occasions to pass a flight examination. Investigators likewise determined that First Officer Bruecher was at the controls at the time of the accident.

Investigators determined that 27 minutes elapsed between the conclusion of deicing and Flight 1713's attempt to take off, seven minutes longer than should have been allowed to elapse before takeoff. The NTSB concluded that a build-up of ice on the wings of Flight 1713 had contaminated the surfaces of both of the wings prior to departure, based on reports from surviving passengers that they had seen "patches" of ice on the wings after deicing was complete. Investigators also concluded that enough wet snow landed on Flight 1713 after deicing was complete to melt and dilute the deicing fluid, which allowed ice to reform on the wings. According to the aircraft's manufacturer, even a modest amount of ice contamination on the upper wing could impair the lifting performance of the wings and lead to loss of roll and pitch control. Based on this, the NTSB concluded that a small amount of ice on the wings had caused Flight 1713 to have significant controllability problems.

The NTSB also determined that First Officer Bruecher's poor performance during takeoff had likely contributed to his loss of control of the airplane. The first officer rotated the airplane at more than 6°/sec or twice the recommended rate. Combined with the effects of ice on the wing, the high climb rate caused the plane's left wing to stall and the plane to begin rolling over. Flight 1713 was Bruecher's first flight after a 24-day absence from flight duties and the NTSB concluded that this prolonged absence had eroded the newly hired first officer's retention of his recent training, which contributed to his poor takeoff performance.

On September 27, 1988, the NTSB published a final report on its investigation into the crash, attributing the accident to the captain's failure to have the plane deiced a second time, the first officer's poor takeoff performance, confusion between the pilots and air traffic controllers, which contributed to delays, compounded by a cockpit crew where both pilots were relatively inexperienced on the aircraft type. Specifically, the NTSB concluded: "The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the captain's failure to have the airplane deiced a second time after a delay before takeoff that led to upper wing surface contamination and a loss of control during rapid takeoff rotation by the first officer. Contributing to the accident were the absence of regulatory or management controls governing operations by newly qualified flight crew members and the confusion that existed between the flight crew members and air traffic controllers that led to the delay in departure."

Aftermath
After the crash, Continental Airlines reiterated its procedures for handling deicing and developed a computerized assignment program that would prevent “green-on-green” crewing or keep pilots with fewer than 100 hours flying time in type from being assigned to the same flight.

Nine months after the crash of Flight 1713, Delta Air Lines Flight 1141 crashed in Dallas. When the NTSB released its report on Flight 1713, it specifically mentioned the fact that "almost 3 minutes of non-pertinent social conversation" had occurred before takeoff. When the NTSB later issued its report on Delta 1141, it found that the Delta crew had also engaged in non-pertinent conversation, including a discussion of the cockpit voice recorder from the crash of Continental 1713; First Officer Casey Kirkland joked with flight attendant Dixie Dunn (the latter a fatality) that they too should discuss their crew's love lives so "then the media would have some kind of juicy tidbit" from their CVR in event of a similar disaster.

Stapleton was replaced by Denver International Airport in 1995. It has since been decommissioned and the property was redeveloped as a retail and residential neighborhood. Continental merged with UAL Corporation (the parent company of United Airlines) via a stock swap in 2010, and the integration was completed in 2012.

In popular culture
Continental Airlines Flight 1713 was mentioned in the 1988 film Rain Man.

The crash was the subject of episode 10, season 18 of Mayday, titled "Dead of Winter".

In February 1990, Reader's Digest detailed the flight crew and some of the passengers in its article "Miracle In The Blizzard."

Christian August Gottlob Eberhard

Christian August Gottlob Eberhard (12 January 1769 – 13 May 1845) was a German miscellaneous writer.

He was born at Belzig, in the Electorate of Saxony. He studied theology at Leipzig; but, having had a story successfully published in a periodical, he began a career in literature. With the exception of Hannchen und die Küchlein (1822), a narrative poem in ten parts, and an epic on the creation, Der erste Mensch und die Erde (1828), Eberhard's work was ephemeral in character and is now forgotten. He died at Dresden.

His collected works (Gesammelte Schriften) appeared in 20 volumes in 1830–1831.
