Re Inline Citations
Inline citations are indeed when you have a small number next to a sentence, and then under a "Notes" section the relevant details appear. When citing a book, you have to cite the specific page. The "References" section should hold the relevant details about a book such as the ISBN number etc. Feel free to drop in if you have any other queries. LuciferMorgan 18:29, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Klaus Augenthaler

Klaus "Auge" Augenthaler (born 26 September 1957) is a German football manager and former player. A defender, he won seven Bundesliga titles in his 15-year club career with Bayern Munich. He also represented the West Germany national team, winning the FIFA World Cup in 1990.

In 2005, Augenthaler was named as a member of the greatest Bayern Munich XI in the club's history.

Playing years
Augenthaler was born in Fürstenzell, Bavaria, West Germany. He played generally in the position of centre-back or, especially in the later part of his career, as a sweeper. In his years with Bayern Munich, Augenthaler won the Bundesliga title seven times and the DFB-Pokal three times. In the European Cup he was runner-up in 1982, vs. Aston Villa (0–1), and again in 1987, although he missed the final due to suspension, when Bayern lost 2–1 to FC Porto.

From 1984 until the end of his career as player in 1991, Augenthaler also captained his club side. He played 404 Bundesliga matches and made 89 appearances in European cup competitions for Bayern.

Between 1983 and 1990, he played 27 times for West Germany, with which he won the World Cup 1990 in Italy in the final against Argentina (1–0). He was part of the squad that reached the final of the 1986 World Cup.

Managerial career
Augenthaler's managerial career started as assistant coach with Bayern Munich, serving under coaches Søren Lerby, Erich Ribbeck, Franz Beckenbauer, Giovanni Trapattoni and Otto Rehhagel. He managed the last match of the 1995–96 season against Fortuna Düsseldorf. From there he moved to become head coach of Austrian side Grazer AK from 1997 to 2000, taking them to two third placings.

In the winter break of 1999–2000, Augenthaler left Graz and took over 1. FC Nürnberg on 2 March 2000, then in the second division, leading them to promotion.

On 29 April 2003, Nürnberg sacked Augenthaler, as the club was facing relegation. He took over the reins at Bayer 04 Leverkusen in May 2003. He managed to save the club from relegation and stayed on there until September 2005.

In December of that same year, he was hired by VfL Wolfsburg. His undistinguished time there ended shortly before the end of the season 2006–07. On 23 March 2010, he signed a half-year contract with SpVgg Unterhaching and replaced Matthias Lust. His contract was terminated on 3 June 2011.

Augenthaler rejected contract offers from China and Turkey due to a lack of interest. He applied to become the new head coach of 1860 Munich in 2015.

Sensory overload

Sensory overload occurs when one or more of the body's senses experiences over-stimulation from the environment.

There are many environmental elements that affect an individual. Examples of these elements are urbanization, crowding, noise, mass media, and technology.

Symptoms
There are a wide variety of symptoms that have been found to be associated with sensory overload. These symptoms can occur in both children and adults. Some of these symptoms are:
 * Irritability
 * "Shutting down", or refusing to participate in activities and interact with others
 * Avoiding touching or being touched
 * Complaining about noises that do not affect others
 * Getting overexcited
 * Covering eyes around bright lights
 * Making poor eye contact
 * Covering ears to close out sounds or voices
 * Constantly changing activities without completing any tasks
 * Irritation caused by shoes, socks, tags, or different textures
 * Over-sensitivity to touch, movement, sights, or sounds
 * Having trouble with social interactions
 * Extremely high or extremely low activity levels
 * Muscle tension
 * Hyperhidrosis (extreme perspiration)
 * Fidgeting and restlessness
 * Angry outbursts
 * Self-harm
 * Sleeplessness and fatigue
 * Difficulty concentrating

Causes
Sensory overload can result from the overstimulation of any of the senses.
 * Hearing: loud noise, or sound from multiple sources, such as several people talking at once.
 * Sight: crowded or cluttered spaces, bright lights, strobing lights, or environments with much movement such as crowds or frequent scene changes on television.
 * Smell and taste: strong aromas or spicy foods.
 * Touch: tactile sensations such as being touched by another person or the feel of cloth on skin.
 * Vestibular: such as dizziness or motion sickness.

As component of other disorders and conditions
Sensory overload has been found to be associated with other disorders and conditions such as:
 * Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
 * People with ADHD display hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli from a young age; this hypersensitivity often persists into adulthood. People with ADHD do not seem to differ in sensory processing in regard to most event-related potentials; however, they do display significant differences in event related potential responses involved with late cognitive processing such as P300, CNV, and Pe, which may indicate that hypersensitivity in ADHD is caused by abnormalities in the expectation of and allocation of attention to sensory stimuli. Abnormalities in later cognitive processing may contribute to hypersensitivity and the sensation of sensory overload in people with ADHD.
 * Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
 * People with PTSD are prone to sensory overload due to a general hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli partially caused by sensory gating issues; this is supported by the fact that people with PTSD have impaired P50 gating and an inability to filter redundant auditory stimuli. Irregularities in the production of and response to neurotransmitters is one possible etiology for sensory overload in people with PTSD; specifically, people with PTSD may display hypersensitivity to stimuli due to chronic homeostatic imbalances in dopamine and norepinephrine. The hypersensitivity of people with PTSD to sensory stimuli is supported by an augmented P300 event-related potential response compared to healthy controls which indicates a semi-permanent heightened attention to deviant and salient stimuli.
 * Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
 * People with OCD display a cognitive inflexibility to changing environments. It seems that people with OCD are hypersensitive to stimuli that are indicative of negative situations, and this hypersensitivity may contribute to sensory overload. It is theorized that people with OCD have compulsions to carry out repetitive actions due to self-doubt and a desire to achieve perfection. A common trigger for compulsions in people with OCD is the perception of contamination; people with OCD commonly deal with the perception of contamination with repetitive hand washing. In a situation where a person with OCD is subjected to an environmental stimuli that elicits compulsion, such as getting dirt on their hands, they may feel overwhelmed by sensory stimuli and deal with this sensory overload through mitigating the stress with compulsions such as repetitive hand washing.
 * Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)
 * Schizophrenia (see also sensory gating)
 * People with schizophrenia are prone to sensory overload since people with the condition cannot divert their attention from repetitive and unimportant sensory stimuli. The inability to focus on relevant stimuli and filter out unnecessary and excessive sensory stimuli displayed in schizophrenics is due to physiological sensory gating issues, and the paired click P50 test can be used to determine if an individual has abnormalities in sensory gating and is therefore prone to sensory overload. A proposed theory that explains sensory overload in schizophrenic patients is that abnormalities in alpha-7 and low affinity nicotinic acetylcholine receptors prevent normal transduction pathways between the cortex and hippocampus that facilitate sensory gating.
 * Misophonia, a pathological 'hatred of sound'
 * People with misophonia display hypersensitivity to certain pattern-based noises such as the sound of chewing, slurping, finger tapping, foot shuffling, throat clearing, pen clicking, and keyboard tapping; people with misophonia respond to triggering sounds with emotional distress and increased hormonal activity of the sympathetic system. When people with misophonia are subjected to noises that trigger misophonic responses, they feel as if they are being overloaded by auditory stimuli and seek to escape from or block out the triggering noise. Compared to healthy controls, people with misophonia display a lower N100 peak in response to mismatch negative (MMN), but this is not a reliable biomarker for the condition and sensory overload. A more reliable indicator that hints at proneness to sensory overload is heightened activation of the anterior insular cortex which is evoked by trigger noises and can be measured by fMRI; the anterior insular cortex may be involved with the pathway that gives rise to the sensation of sensory overload in people with misophonia.
 * Synesthesia
 * There is evidence that the visual cortex of people with grapheme-color synesthesia is more excitable than that of typical people; additionally, people with grapheme-color synesthesia respond more strongly to visual stimuli compared to people without the condition. People with grapheme-color synesthesia report feeling visual stress and discomfort in response to gratings of mid and high spatial frequencies, correlating to a sensory overload response evoked by intense visual stimuli.
 * Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
 * People with general anxiety disorder are highly sensitive to external anxiety triggering stimuli and deal with exposure to these triggers through neurotic thoughts. People with GAD are biased to perceive sensory stimuli as negative or threatening and this bias feeds into negative thought processes which further exacerbate feelings of worry, stress, and anxiety. People with GAD are hypersensitive and hypervigilant to ambiguous, neutral, and emotional stimuli and often compartmentalize such stimuli as negative. People with GAD are prone to sensory overload when in novel settings or interacting with new people since ambiguous and neutral stimuli in these instances are usually processed as threatening or negative; adolescents and children with GAD are especially avoidant of and distressed by novel stimuli which is theorized to be elicited by either a hyperactive sympathetic nervous system or an under-active parasympathetic nervous system.
 * Autistic spectrum disorders (ASD)
 * People with autistic spectrum disorders experience auditory hypersensitivity which can lead to sensory overload. Although people with autism do not have abnormalities in P50 sensory gating, they have anomalies in sensory gating related to the N100 test which indicates an irregularity in attention-related direction and top-down mental pathways. It is speculated that disturbances and issues with directing attention towards relevant or salient stimuli, evinced by deviations from standard P200 and N100 responses, is partially responsible for the sensation of being overwhelmed by sensory stimuli in autistic people. Sensory overload among autistic individuals may manifest in a multitude of behavioral responses, including aggression or self-injury, withdrawal or avoidance of stimuli, engagement in repetitive or self-stimulatory behaviors, and meltdowns characterized by intense emotional reactions. A significant proportion of those with ASD also have epilepsy, which can intensify the brain's sensitivity and potentially exacerbate sensory overload experiences.
 * Tourette syndrome (TS)
 * It has been suggested that people with Tourette syndrome have a hypersensitivity to bodily sensation that originates in higher order processing partially the result of distorted and higher than average amplitude of afferent somatic signals. People with Tourette syndrome sense urges to do tics that are often localized to regions of the body that carry out the tic response. It is theorized that tics might be caused by sensory processing issues where sensations trigger movements which manifest as tics. Additionally, people with Tourette syndrome display a moderate inability to inhibit distracting stimuli which might lead to sensory overload. People with Tourette syndrome may be prone to carry out tics in an environment of overwhelming sensory stimuli.
 * Fibromyalgia (FM)
 * People with fibromyalgia are hypersensitive to intense stimuli such as bright lights, loud noises, perfumes, and cold temperatures; people with the condition also have hyper-excitable nociceptors. When people with fibromyalgia are subjected to intense stimuli, they experience sensory overload in the form of pain. It is theorized that abnormal activity of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and reduced production of or reception to serotonin are partially responsible for the sensation of pain in response to intense stimuli.
 * Chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)
 * People with chronic fatigue syndrome display a hypersensitivity to noxious stimuli, stress, and pain. These sensitivities are partially explained by abnormal neurotransmitter pathways involving serotonin and acetylcholine. When people with the condition are exposed to intense stimuli, they report pain, fatigue, nausea, and reduced cognitive abilities; chronic sensory overload causes the sensation of brain fog.

Treatments
There are many different ways to treat sensory overload. One is to reduce this tension is to participate in occupational therapy; however, there are many ways for people with symptoms to reduce it themselves. Being able to identify one's own triggers of sensory overload can help reduce, eliminate, or avoid them. Most often the quickest way to ease sensory overload symptoms is to remove oneself from the situation. Deep pressure against the skin combined with proprioceptive input that stimulates the receptors in the joints and ligaments often calms the nervous system. Reducing sensory input such as eliminating distressing sounds and lowering the lights can help. Calming, focusing on music works for some. If a quick break does not relieve the problem, an extended rest is advised. People with sensory processing issues may benefit from a sensory diet of activities and accommodations designed to prevent sensory overload and retrain the brain to process sensory input more typically. It is important in situations of sensory overload to calm oneself and return to a normal level.

Prevention
There are three different methods to address sensory overload: avoidance, setting limits, and meditation. The process of avoidance involves creating a more quiet and orderly environment. This includes keeping the noise to a minimum and reducing the sense of clutter. To prevent sensory overload, it is important to rest before big events and focus one's attention and energy on one thing at a time. Setting limits involves restricting the amount of time spent on various activities and selecting settings to carefully avoid crowds and noise. One may also limit interactions with specific people to help prevent sensory overload.

Marketing
It can be difficult to distinguish and understand information when experiencing sensory overload. Even such meaningless stimuli such as white noise or flickering lights may induce sensory overload. Sensory overload is common among consumers as many corporations compete with each other especially when advertising. Advertisers will use the best colours, words, sounds, textures, designs and much more to get the attention of a customer. This can influence the consumer, as they will be drawn to a product that is more attention grabbing. However, policy makers and advertisers must be aware that too much information or attention-grabbing products can cause sensory overload.

Implications of public policy
Implications of public policy in regards to information overload have two main assumptions. The assumptions the policymakers have are, first, to assume that consumers have a great deal of processing capacity and a great deal of time to process information. Secondly, consumers can always absorb the information without serious concern about how much information has been presented. As researchers have pointed out, policymakers should better understand the difference between the process and availability of information. This will help decrease the possibility of information overload. In some cases, the time to process such information in a commercial can be 6 out of 30 seconds. This can lead consumers confused and overloaded with such fast-paced information thrown at them. To understand how consumers process information three factors must be analyzed. Factors such as the amount of information given, the source of corrective information and the way in which it is all presented to the consumer. Different types of media have different processing demands. An optimal outcome for policy makers to influence advertisers to try is to present information through a TV commercial stating simple facts about a product and then encourage the audience to check out their website for more details. Therefore, their quick processing time of a commercial was not overloaded with information thus saving the consumer from sensory overload.

Implications for the consumers
Consumers today are forced to learn to cope with overloading and an abundance of information, through the radio, billboards, television, newspapers and much more. Information is everywhere and being thrown at consumers from every angle and direction. Therefore, Naresh K. Malhotra, author of the paper "Information and Sensory Overload", presents the following guidelines. First, consumers must try to limit the intake of external information and sensory inputs to avoid sensory overload. This can be done by tuning out irrelevant information presented by the media and marketers to get the attention of the consumer. Second, record important information externally rather than mentally. Information can be easily forgotten mentally once the individual becomes overloaded by their sense. Thus it is recommended for a consumer to write down important information rather than store it mentally. Third, when examining a product, do not overload their senses by examining more than five products at a time. This will lead to confusion and frustration. Fourth, process information where there is less irrelevant information around. This will eliminate external information and sensory distractions such as white noise and other information presented in an environment. Finally, it is important to make consuming a pleasant and relaxed experience. This will help diminish the stress, overwhelming feeling, and experience of sensory overload.

Case histories
Not many studies have been done on sensory overload, but one example of a sensory overload study was reported by Lipowski (1975) as part of his research review on the topic that discussed the work done by Japanese researchers at Tohoku University. The Tohoku researchers exposed their subjects to intense visual and auditory stimuli presented randomly in a condition of confinement ranging in duration from three to five hours. Subjects showed heightened and sustained arousal as well as mood changes such as aggression, anxiety, and sadness. These results have helped open the door to further research on sensory overload.

History
Sociologist Georg Simmel contributed to the description of sensory overload in his 1903 essay "The Metropolis and Mental Life". Simmel describes an urban landscape of constant sensory stimuli against which the city-dweller must create a barrier in order to remain sane. For Simmel, the sensory overload of modern urban life depletes the body's reservoirs of energy, leading, among other things, to a jaded or blasé [blasiert] mentality and a calculating, instrumentalizing approach to others. Simmel's approach can be compared to Freud's writings on shell shock as well as Walter Benjamin's analysis of "shock" and urban life in his 1939 essay "On Some Motifs in Baudelaire".

Talk:The Flying Dutchman

The name "Vanderdecken" or "von der Decken" actually means from the dyke in German, which would fit to the Netherlands, which are said to be the flying dutchman's origin. However, does someone have a source about the origin of his name?

von de decken is not a german name en surtanly does NOT mean from the dyke! Vanderdecken is officially spelled van der Decken and is most likely spelled van der Decke, wich translate from old Dutch to on Deck! the legend The most famous legend of the sea is that of the Flying Dutchman. Superstition has it that whoever meets this ship is doomed to perish with all hands on deck.. As protection against such a fate, sailors would nail horse shoes to the mast. Some think that this 17th century legend was made up by the English to put their Dutch rival in a bad light.

Willem van der Decken, captain of the “Dutchman”, who was employed by the Dutch East India Co [ VOC] did not manage to round the Cape of Good Hope fast enough.

This is the tip of Africa where two oceans meet. Countering currents and high winds make it very difficult for sailing ships to round the Cape. Van der Decken then made a pact with the Devil that he would make it around the Cape, even if he had to sail upwind. God, so the story goes, punished the captain and sentenced him to roam the world’s seas as ghost skipper in perpetuity. Months turned into years, storms keep raging and his ghost ship is being pushed from sea to sea to this day. No waves can destroy it while other ships have perished nearby. Such are the tales some of the survivors told about the ghost ship the “Flying Dutchman”.

shame that noboldy mentions the Wagner Opera ! Is this the cultural page??
 * well, now it does. :)

Wait...in the version I heard, the Flying Dutchman is an omen of death, and those who see it will die swiftly and terribly.

Why is it called "flying"?!?
 * Flying=fast moving.170.215.105.84 01:12, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * When my father said to my mother that the ship was alleged to be unsinkable, her reply to that was: "Well that is flying in the face of God." Titanic survivor. "Flying in the face of" is what the Dutch captain is said to have done to the powers that be. --Chr.K. 15:08, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

"Frying" Dutchman
Not once has the Flying Dutchman been called the Frying Dutchman in Spongebob. His name has always been the traditional one. I've watched that show enough times to know. Please be aware of this! ViceroyInterus 14:44, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Pirates of the Caribbean: dead man's chest: I believe in this movie, the captain can go on land once every 13 years. Its true that the captian says that he's not due for the next landing for another 10 years, but prior to that, I believe it was explained in the movie that it was once every 13 years, and so presumably 3 years had passed for the captain since the last time he had been on shore. Can someone who has seen the movie recently verify this? If its 13 years, then the text for this wikipedia entry needs to be edited, since right now it says that in the movie its 10 years. I think its 13.

-jack is the one who had 13 years with the black pearl. they never said how long davy jones had to wait inbetween each port. just that there was nearly ten years until the next one

What's with the "DOUCHEBAG" references in the current page?
 * Was vandalism. Was reverted.--Chaser T 09:42, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I believe it does say that the captain of the Dutchman can only go on land one day every 10 years, so I’d assume that includes Davy Jones as well. TheRealSpagheti (talk) 22:12, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Name of the ship, or captain?
I seem to recall, that bringing a woman aboard a ship is terrible luck for the crew and the voyage. So, the only woman was the ship itself. Sailors always refer to their ships as "her", or "she". So then why would the ship be called the "Flying Dutchman" if the ship's gender should be female? Maybe it just sounds better than "Flying Dutchwoman".

It's not uncommon for ships to have obviously masculine names--witness the lamented Edmund Fitzgerald. Nightsky 19:19, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone else think this section has gotten out of hand? I don't think we need to be listing everything related to TFD. How about we prune the list down to just the notable instances of cultural allusion? --Perimosocordiae 22:53, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Oh, man, you ain't whistling Dixie. I agree that it's gotten totally out of hand, and should either be deleted outright or moved to a subpage.  I think *I* started the section (for whatever that's worth), and I never intended for it to become a listing of every last ski lift, etc., named after TFD.Nightsky 19:17, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. We could probably partially sort this out by compressing like for like. E.g. instead of three separate entries on songs one could say 'Songs by Tori Amos, Jethro Tull on the Stormwatch album and The Band on Rocking Chair', and so on, so forth. I'd like to change the fast-food entry to 'in several towns' as opposed to Castletownbere, as there's one near me, and I can't imagine them being that uncommon. I also wonder about the Monkey Island entry. The character in question is actually 'lost' not 'flying', and since he can only come to port when you light the lighthouse, I wonder if this isn't actually another legend altogether. Empty Book 10:40, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Better? Worse? At least it doesn't make my head hurt to look at it anymore. --Perimosocordiae 17:35, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Much better. :) I think this may be the best we can do without seriously evaluating 'worth'. 'The Flying Dutchman is a very popular tale, so many things will reference it. Empty Book 17:02, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to be nitpicky, but shouldn't we get references for these items in the "Cultural Allusions" section? In addition to making the whole section a little more legitimate, it could also help weed out bad additions. Or is it even worth the trouble? --Perimosocordiae 16:52, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

An Earlier Reference
The first paragraph in the Origin section of the article says that some say the "story is originally Dutch." It then alternatively suggests a number of possible literary sources with various nineteenth century dates, the earliest of which is 1826. The list includes an 1855 Washington Irving work.

However, Washington Irving's tongue-in-cheek, "A History of New York," published in 1809 contains a reference to the Flying Dutchman. It occurs in Part II Chapter I, titled Master Hendrick Hudson, and is dropped in at the end of a paragraph referencing various nautical legends as if Irving expected his readers to already be familiar with the story. The only thing he says about it is, "... that portentious phantom of the seas, that terror to all experienced mariners, that shadowy spectrum of the night—the flying Dutchman!"

Sighting during voyage of the future King George V

At 4 a.m. the Flying Dutchman crossed our bows. A strange red light as of a phantom ship all aglow, in the midst of which light the masts, spars, and sails of a brig 200 yards distant stood out in strong relief as she came up on the port bow, where also the officer of the watch from the bridge clearly saw her, as did the quarterdeck midshipman, who was sent forward at once to the forecastle; but on arriving there was no vestige nor any sign whatever of any material ship was to be seen either near or right away to the horizon, the night being clear and the sea calm. Thirteen persons altogether saw her...At 10.45 a.m. the ordinary seaman who had this morning reported the Flying Dutchman fell from the foretopmast crosstrees on to the topgallant forecastle and was smashed to atoms. - (from King George V, a biography by Kenneth Rose, 1988).

Here, Isn't something contradictory? The time stated is 4 a.m, but later he says the night being clear and the sea calm !!

Green Leader

Squadron Leader Christopher John Taylor Dixon D.C.D. (1943 – 21 October 2011), also known by his callsign of Green Leader, was a Rhodesian military pilot for the Rhodesian Air Force and was born in Shabani, Southern Rhodesia. He was best known for leading the Rhodesian Operation Gatling bombing raid over Zambia, which later became known as the "Green Leader Raid".

Early life and career
Dixon was born in 1943 in Shabani, Southern Rhodesia. He was educated at Plumtree School. In 1962, Dixon joined the Royal Rhodesian Air Force in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland and he passed his Pilot Training Course as an officer cadet. By 1974, Dixon was serving as a flight lieutenant in No. 1 Squadron. He was later assigned to No. 5 Squadron and later became their squadron leader in 1977. As squadron leader, he gave endorsement to a proposal from Jack Malloch to restore a Mark 22 Supermarine Spitfire to flying condition after it had been mounted on a plinth outside New Sarum Air Force Station in Salisbury.

Green Leader
In 1978, following the downing of the civilian Air Rhodesia Flight 825 by ZIPRA guerrillas, the Rhodesian Government planned retaliatory strikes against ZIPRA bases across the Rhodesian border in Zambia. The attack, later codenamed Operation Gatling, was to be led by Dixon. Upon crossing the border in his English Electric Canberra bomber, he contacted the control tower at Lusaka Airport identifying himself as "Green Leader" informing them to contact the Zambian Air Force commander at Mumbwa. Dixon told the tower to communicate to the commander that he was temporarily taking control of Zambian airspace on behalf of the Rhodesian Air Force. He clarified in the message that the reason was to attack "Rhodesian dissidents and not against Zambia" and stated Rhodesia had no quarrel with Zambia. He did, however, warn the Zambian authorities not to interfere and stated that the Rhodesians were orbiting Zambian airfields and had orders to shoot down any Zambian Air Force planes that attempted to take off. He also had civilian aircraft approaching Zambia put on hold. He kept control until 10 minutes after the RhAF had completed their raid. After a Kenya Airways pilot complained about whom had control of the airways (which Lusaka had responded "I think the Rhodesians do"), Dixon said that the airport could let civilian aircraft land.

The exchanges were broadcast on television and radio by the Rhodesian Broadcasting Corporation. Dixon's role in the raid was commemorated in the song "Green Leader" by John Edmond as he was considered a hero in Rhodesia for his actions. He later led the bombing raid against ZIPRA in Operation Vanity over Angola flying an English Electric Canberra bomber but almost had to abort participation due to a radio fault. For his military successes, he was awarded the Defence Cross for Distinguished Service on 13 April 1979.

Following the end of his Rhodesian military service, Dixon remained in the newly reconstituted Zimbabwe until his death in 2011.

Yasuj

Yasuj is a city in the Central District of Boyer-Ahmad County, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, Iran, serving as capital of the province, the county, and the district.

Yasuj is an industrial city in the Zagros Mountains of southwestern Iran. The term Yasuj is also used to refer to the entire region.

Yasuj has a sugar processing plant.

History
The area of Yasuj had been settled as early as the Bronze Age. Findings include the Martyrs Hills (dating from 3rd millennium BC), the Khosravi Hill from the Achaemenian period, the ancient site of Gerd, the Pataveh bridge, and the Pay-e Chol cemetery. Yasuj is the place where Alexander III of Macedon and his Macedonian forces stormed the Persian Gates (Darvazeh-ye Fars), and found a way into the Persian heartland (331 BC).

The Yasuj Museum, which opened in 2002, displays coins, statues, pottery, and bronze vessels recovered from surrounding archaeological sites.

On May 18, 2023, the city of Madavan and the villages of Balahzar, Jadval-e Ghureh-ye Mehrian, Madavan-e Sofla, Mehrian, Sarab-e Taveh, Servak, and Tall Khosrow merged with the city of Yasuj.

Climate
Yasuj has the typical continental-influenced Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) of western Iran, though because of its location in the direct line of rain-bearing winds from the Persian Gulf it is the wettest Iranian city south of the Alborz Mountains with an annual rainfall nine times that of Isfahan and twice that of Kermanshah. The heavy precipitation allows the existence of small glaciers on the highest Zagros peaks – in contrast the Kuhrud Mountains to the east have no glaciers despite being of the same height due to aridity. The long dry season sees only on average 4 mm of rainfall between June and September, with the wet season extending into October, unlike many other Mediterranean climates.

Population
At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 96,786 in 20,297 households. The following census in 2011 counted 108,505 people in 26,304 households. The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 134,532 people in 34,850 households.

The population of Yasuj in 2016, including some suburban villages, is just over 250,000 people.

Economy
The economy of Yasuj is based on the following local activities:

 * baskets
 * carpets/rugs
 * mosaic tiles
 * bricks
 * livestock feed

By 2014 a new refinery will be constructed by the private sector, at a cost of $2.2 billion. It will produce petrol, gasoil, kerosene, furnace oil, liquefied gas, asphalt, and sulfur.

Education

 * Yasouj University
 * Yasuj University of Medical Sciences
 * Yasuj Azad University

Golden Dawn tradition
Now redirects to Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Most of the info was duplicated/summarized from the latter article, except for the individual sections about each modern order. However, almost all the info came from said order's websites. WP only allows such website references in an article about the group the website is about. Thus several pages were created, one for each order, Golden Dawn tradition is now gone, and the individual pages are linked from a new, short section of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This ends an edit war on Golden Dawn tradition and ensures it won't simply be moved back to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn article. It can only move to the individual articles - but since web references can't be used except autobiographically, no material from any other websites can be added to the independent articles - edit war over. :-) -999 22:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, I can see how you would think so... But right now the real precipitators of the edit war are scratching their heads trying to figure out what happened (look at the last few changes and self-reverts on Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn to see what I mean). It seems that WP has a rule against members of an organization writing an article about their own group, so.... they have to find someone else to do it. But somehow, they've insulted or offended anyone who might be interested in doing so... funny, that. -999 23:57, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:04, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Octyl methoxycinnamate

Octyl methoxycinnamate or ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (INCI) or octinoxate (USAN), trade names Eusolex 2292 and Uvinul MC80, is an organic compound that is an ingredient in some sunscreens and lip balms. It is an ester formed from methoxycinnamic acid and 2-ethylhexanol. It is a liquid that is insoluble in water.

It is primarily used in sunscreens and other cosmetics to absorb UV-B rays from the sun, protecting the skin from damage. It is also used to reduce the appearance of scars.

Uses
Octyl methoxycinnamate is the most common active ingredient in sunscreens for protection against UV-B rays. It may be combined with oxybenzone and titanium oxide.

Studies have evaluated the efficacy of octyl methoxycinnamate in preventing postoperative peritoneal adhesions and determined that octyl methoxycinnamate covering peritoneal surfaces decreases adhesion formation. This effect is more notable when octyl methoxycinnamate is applied before the induction of trauma.

Chromophore groups, such as C=C, C=O, and O-N=O, have loosely held electrons that are excited by radiation. Hence, octyl methoxycinnamate is able to absorb radiation when the electron energy level is increased to an excited state.

Properties
The UV spectra of octyl methoxycinnamate contains a maximum at 310 nm.

Synthesis
Olefin metathesis has been widely studied. One of the synthesis pathways for octyl methoxycinnamate includes cross metathesis. The high efficiency of the nitro-Grela catalyst has been used in the cross metathesis of trans-anethole with 2-ethylhexyl acrylate to produce octyl methoxycinnamate (86% yield).

Safety studies
One study performed in 2000 raised safety concerns about octyl methoxycinnamate by demonstrating toxicity to mouse cells at concentrations lower than typical levels in sunscreens. However, another study concluded that octyl methoxycinnamate and other sun screening agents do not penetrate the outer skin in sufficient concentration to cause any significant toxicity to the underlying human keratinocytes.

Estrogenic and neurological effects were noted in laboratory animals at concentrations close to those experienced by sunscreen users and were also shown in vitro. Octyl methoxycinnamate has been shown to be light sensitive with a decrease in UV absorption efficiency upon light exposure. This degradation causes formation of the Z-octyl-p-methoxycinnamate from the E-octyl-p-methoxycinnamate. In contrast, the OMC does not show degradation when kept in darkness for extended periods of time.

A study carried out in 2017 by the Research Centre for Toxic Compounds in the Environment at Masaryk University, Czech Republic, indicates that octyl methoxycinnamate (EHMC) may damage human cell DNA. When exposed to sun rays, the spatial arrangement of its molecules changes and isomerisation takes place. While until now only unchanged EHMC has been researched, Massaryk University researchers focused on its isomers and found out that it has a significant genotoxic effect under lab conditions. It means that it may potentially damage human DNA and cause genome mutations which may lead to serious health risks.

In swimming pools with hypochlorite in aqueous solution, octyl methoxycinnamate has been shown to produce chlorine-substituted intermediates. The chlorination intermediates of octyl methoxycinnamate demonstrated weak mutagenic effects on the Salmonella typhimurium TA 100 strain. The reactions depended on the pH, compound structures, and chlorine dose.

Ecological damage
Concern about effects on coral reefs resulted in a bill in the state legislature of Hawaii to limit use of sunscreens containing octyl methoxycinnamate and oxybenzone.

For the same reasons, the government of Palau signed a law in 2018 (becoming effective in 2020) that restricted the sale and use of sunscreen and skincare products that contain a list of ten different chemicals, including the UV filters octyl methoxycinnamate, oxybenzone and octocrylene, with fines of US$1,000 for retailers who violate the law and the power to confiscate such products from non-commercial users.

Stereochemistry
Octinoxate contains a stereocenter and a double bond. It has the following stereoisomers Therefore, octinoxate could consist of the following four stereoisomers:

Checkuser
Is there are particular reason that Requests for checkuser/Case/Sbhushan hasn't been listed yet? The Behnam 06:01, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Never mind, my bad. Not being familiar with the checkuser procedures, I assumed that "listed" meant that it was on the "Outstanding requests" list on the main checkuser page, but that doesn't appear to be the case.  Do you know what "listed" means in this context?  The Behnam 06:21, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I realized that it is there. When I first saw the page, it said "Checkuser requests to be listed."  I assumed that this meant that it was not on the main page (without checking), and added it.  I undid this when I realized that it was already there.  Now I just don't know what exactly "Checkuser requests to be listed" means, as I thought (wrongly) that it meant that it wasn't yet listed on the main page.  The Behnam 06:54, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see. I determined that I was "wrong" by checking the case above Sbushan's, but apparently the removal was forgotten there as well.  Thanks for the information.  The Behnam 07:02, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Foreign influence on Chinese martial arts
Whatever happened to this article? All that I have when I click on it now is a re-direct towards the old "Bodhidharma, Shaolin Kung fu, and the disputed India connection" article. Djma12 (talk) 22:22, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

 * If you'll remember, I am hardly a supporter of Freedom skies' edits. Heck, I was the one who slapped on the original merge tag.  However, the article in its current form makes no sense.  It's a counter-argument to an article that has been completely replaced.  I'm sure we can work together to make this a real merge rather than a whole scale replace. Djma12 (talk) 03:12, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the clarification. I never knew the entirety of the article's history.  I agree that the original "Foreign Influence" article, especially when I found it back in March, was a horrible POV fork.  I thought the article finally being settled on around July, however, was starting to become a real "Foreign Influence" article.  Sure, it ranted too much about Bodhidharma, but it had good sections on possible Mongolian, Greek, etc... influences.

 * Long story short, I think a real "Foreign Influences" article might actually be educational -- given that it adequately cites sources and isn't some POV fork by hindu nationalists. What do you think?

Shahar's book
I totally forgot about that. I found Gene Ching's link on the Kung Fu mag forum and just bought it myself. Thanks for reminding me! I need to contact Shahar again to see if he ever expanded upon one of the lectures he did. Here is an abstract ...

Magic Warfare in Nineteenth-Century Fiction and History: The Armor of the Golden Bell Meir Shahar, Tel Aviv University The turn of the twentieth-century witnessed a spectacular growth in the popular genre of martial-arts fiction. During this period scores of new novels, celebrating the pugilistic skills and the superior swordsmanship of courageous warriors, were published. What was the relation between this literary development and the actual practice of the martial-arts during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries? Is it possible that the growth of martial-arts fiction mirrors the expansion of martial-arts practice during the period in question? Or, conversely, is it possible that martial-arts fiction shaped the development of the martial-arts themselves by promulgating the practice of specific martial techniques described in novels? This paper will address the interplay of fiction and history in the practice of Chinese martial-arts by an examination of one type of martial-arts exercise known as the Armor of the Golden Bell (Jinzhong zhao). The Armor of the Golden Bell, which has been widely used both in the actual practice of the martial arts and in the imaginary realm of fiction, demonstrates the interdependence of imaginary practice and social performance in the realm of the martial arts. In addition, the Armor of the Golden Bell illustrates the significance of magic in the practice of the martial arts. The term "Armor of the Golden Bell" covers a spectrum of practices, ranging from physical exercises meant to strengthen the body, to magic techniques intended to make one invulnerable to swords, spears, and even bullets. Thus the Armor of the Golden Bell demonstrates that in the realm of the Chinese martial arts the lines separating fiction from history, and physical exercise from magic, are thin indeed.

My copy arrived last week. It is one hell of a scholarly achievement! I am surprised that Shahar did not connect the "shoe holding Bodhidharma" legend to the taoist legend of the "corpse-untying" method of immortality (see here, I added this info to the article). Basically, a person feigns being sick and apparently dies. He is burried, but is later seen in another province hundreds of miles away. When his coffin is opened, all that is present is a shoe, sword, bamboo pole, or just clothes (which had been bewitched to look like a body, but reverted back). Ge Hong told many hagiographies of taoist saints who used this method to escape execution or to just dissappear. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 23:46, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey
I'm impressed with your quick researching skills. You're good at this. Vtria 08 (talk) 18:58, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Good stuff :-) Vtria 08 (talk) 19:19, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I'm once again amazed at your researching skills (I saw your post at user talk:Pyrotec). Generally speaking, I'll be staying away from the 'pre-history' sections from now on following a harrowing week in gunpowder. If only a discussion like the one user:Pyrotec started, or an argument that you initiated, would have occurred originally then it would have saved me a lot of time and frustration.

Gunpowder
Sorry, I was getting a bit p*ssed off. There is an edit war on Gunpowder and the History of gunpowder and I'm trying to remain impartial. Meatwaggon is never going to accept Encyclopaedia Britannica 2008 as a credible source on gunpowder; and I consider that one of the three blockquotes recently added to be (mostly) wrong; but I have some sympathy with what he is trying to do in protecting the integrity of those two articles, but not necessarily the means. I also think that much of the "potted summary" information that Vtria 08 is trying to add to the Gunpowder and the History of gunpowder articles is useful. He also appears to have problems with the Tea article for similar reasons (you appear to be actively involved in that discussion). I'm hoping the edit-war can be stopped and that some of the information that Vtria 08 is trying to add to Gunpowder and the History of gunpowder can be added from other sources that Meatwaggon is likely to regard as more acceptable.Pyrotec (talk) 22:07, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Credible author
Hello. A credible authors' reference is being "overrided" by edit-warring. I recently tried to add to the telescope article but this editor seems to think that his opinion overrides a VERY credible author in Mr. Richard Powers. I've been blocked before for edit-warring recently, so I don't want this to be another incident on my record.

Anyway, the other editor seemed to have asked his friend-type editors to form a consensus, so I will do the same. The Islamic connection here is, Al-Haytham. He is FUNDAMENTAL to the telescope and the FATHER of optics. By definition, the summary can include him since the radio and electro-magnetic telescopes are derogatory to the average person looking at the article; I wanted to add it to the history section since it looked cleaner.

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

looking for info for an essay
I have to do an argumentative paper in my English class and I was thinking about doing it on how Bodhidharma's connection to Shaolin arts is a myth. I've already got LOTS of info from Meir Shahar and one article from Stan Henning, but I need more. You mentioned similar work done by Tang Hou and Brian Kennedy in a previous discussion on the Chinese martial arts page. Could you give me some citations? I realize Tang Hou was the first modern scholar who brought the dubious nature of the Sinew-Changing Classic to light. From what I understand from the Yi Jin Jing article, the source info is in Chinese. Do you know of an English translation anywhere? --Ghostexorcist (talk) 01:51, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
