Elias Khoury

Elias Khoury (إلياس خوري; born 12 July 1948) is a Lebanese novelist and public intellectual. His novels and literary criticism have been translated into several languages. In 2000, he won the Prize of Palestine for his book Gate of the Sun, and he won the Al Owais Award for fiction writing in 2007. Khoury has also written three plays and two screenplays.

From 1993 to 2009, Khoury served as an editor of Al-Mulhaq, the weekly cultural supplement of the Lebanese daily newspaper Al-Nahar. He also taught at universities in Middle Eastern and European countries, and the United States.

The notion that Palestinians suffer from a continuous Nakba is a leitmotif running through much of his work.

Early life
Elias Khoury was born in 1948 into a middle-class Greek Orthodox family in the predominantly Christian Ashrafiyye district of Beirut, Lebanon.

He began reading Lebanese novelist Jurji Zaydan's works at the age of eight, which he later said taught him more about Islam and his Arabic background. Later, Khoury grew interested in classical Arabic literature, Russian novels by Pushkin and Chekhov, and modernist literature.

In 1966, he earned his high school diploma from al-Ra'i al-Saleh High School in Beirut. At the time he graduated, Lebanese intellectual life was becoming more polarized, with opposition groups adopting pro-Palestinian, radical Arab nationalist stances. The following year, in 1967, a 19-year-old Khoury traveled to Jordan, where he visited a Palestinian refugee camp and enlisted in Fatah, the largest resistance organization in the Palestinian Liberation Organisation. He left Jordan after thousands of Palestinians were killed or expelled in the wake of an attempted coup against King Hussein, in Black September.

Khoury studied history at the Lebanese University and graduated in 1971. In 1972, he received his PhD in social history at the University of Paris.

Involvement in the Lebanese civil war
At the start of the Lebanese civil war, Khoury became a member of the Lebanese National Movement, an alliance of leftist, pan-Arab parties with mostly Muslim supporters. He was injured during the war, and temporarily blinded.

Literary career
Khoury published his first novel in 1975, On the Relations of the Circle (Arabic: عن علاقات الدائرة). It was followed in 1977 by The Little Mountain (Arabic: الجبل الصغير), set during the Lebanese Civil War, a conflict that Khoury initially thought would be a catalyst for progressive change. Other works by him include The Journey of Little Gandhi, about a rural immigrant to Beirut who lives through the events of the civil war; and Gate of the Sun (2000), an epic re-telling of the life of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon since the 1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight. The book, which addresses the ideas of memory, truth, and storytelling, was adapted as a film of the same name by Egyptian director Yousry Nasrallah (2002).

In an interview by the Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot, after the publication of the Hebrew translation of Gate of the Sun, Khoury remarked:"'When I was working on this book, I discovered that the 'other' is the mirror of the I. And given that I am writing about half a century of Palestinian experience, it is impossible to read this experience otherwise than in the mirror of the Israeli 'other.' Therefore, when I was writing this novel, I put a lot of effort into trying to take apart not only the Palestinian stereotype but also the Israeli stereotype as it appears in Arab literature and especially in the Palestinian literature of Ghassan Kanafani, for example, or even of Emil Habibi. The Israeli is not only the policeman or the occupier, he is the 'other,' who also has a human experience, and we need to read this experience. Our reading of their experience is a mirror to our reading of the Palestinian experience.'"

Khoury's novel Yalo (2002, translated into English in 2008 by American Peter Theroux) depicted a former militiaman accused of crimes during Lebanon's civil war. He described the use of torture in the Lebanese judicial system. The title refers to the name of a Palestinian Arab village that was annexed by Israel during the 1967 and later destroyed. All the inhabitants were expelled and most went to Jordan. Kirkus Reviews described the book as a "deceptively intricate" story and an "unsparing portrayal of a man without a country, a history or even an identity."

Khoury's novels are notable for their complex approach to political themes and fundamental questions of human behavior. His narrative technique often involves an interior monologue, at times approaching a stream of consciousness. In recent works he has tended to use a considerable element of colloquial Arabic, although the language of his novels remains primarily Modern Standard Arabic. While use of dialect in dialogue is relatively common in modern Arabic literature (for example, in the work of Yusuf Idris), Khoury also uses it in the main narrative, which is unusual in contemporary literature. Khoury has explained this choice by saying, "As long as the official, written language is not opened to the spoken language it is a total repression because it means that the spoken, social experience is marginalised."

In addition to his novels, Khoury has also served in several editorial positions, starting in 1972 when he joined the editorial board of the journal Mawaqif. He served as the editor of the Palestine Liberation Organization's magazine Shu'un Filastiniyya (Palestinian Affairs Magazine) from 1975 to 1979 in collaboration with Mahmoud Darwish. Between 1980 and 1985, Khoury worked as an editor of the series Thakirat Al-Shu'ub, published by the Arab Research Foundation in Beirut. In the 1980s, he was the editorial director first of Al Karmel magazine, and then of the cultural section of Al-Safir. Khoury also worked as the technical director of Beirut Theater from 1992 to 1998, and was a co-director of the Ayloul Festival of Modern Arts.

In 1993, Khoury became the editor of Al-Mulhaq, the cultural supplement of the Lebanese daily newspaper Al-Nahar. Under his leadership, the magazine criticized controversial aspects of Lebanon's post-Civil War reconstruction, which was led by former Lebanese prime minister Rafic Hariri. In a 2019 article, Khaled Saghieh wrote that Al-Mulhaq was "foundational in launching the debate over memory that would occupy a wide portion of the Lebanese cultural scene in the 1990s."

Khoury's works have been translated and published in Catalan, Dutch, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Norwegian, Spanish, and Swedish.

Academic career
He has taught at many universities, including New York University, University of Houston, Berkeley College, The University of Chicago, Columbia University, Georgetown University, the University of Minnesota, and Princeton University in the United States. He also taught at the University of Poitiers in France, the University of London in the UK, the University of Berlin in Germany, and the University of Zurich in Switzerland. In his home country Lebanon, he taught at the American University of Beirut, the Lebanese American University, and his alma mater, Lebanese University.

Personal life
Elias Khoury is married and has children.

Reformed confessions of faith

The reformed confessions of faith are the confessional documents of various Reformed churches. These express the doctrinal views of the churches adopting the confession. Confessions play a crucial part in the theological identity of reformed churches, either as standards to which ministers must subscribe, or more generally as accurate descriptions of their faith. Most confessions date to the 16th and 17th century.

Catechisms, canons, theses and other such documents may not be confessions per se, yet these still serve as symbols of the reformed faith.

Confessions
Confessions state that church's beliefs in a full, while not exhaustive, way.

Continental Reformed

 * Confession of the East Friesland Preachers (1528)
 * Tetrapolitan Confession (1530)
 * Synodical Declaration of Bern (1532)
 * First Confession of Basel (1534)
 * First Helvetic Confession/Second Confession of Basel (1536)
 * Geneva Confession (1536)
 * Altered Augsburg Confession (1540)
 * Confession of the English Congregation at Geneva (1556)
 * Guanabara Confession of Faith (1558)
 * Authored by Huguenots in South America
 * French Confession of Faith (1559)
 * Confession of the Christian Faith (1559)
 * Belgic Confession (1561)
 * Second Helvetic Confession (1562)
 * Erlauthal Confession (1562)
 * Hungarian Confession (1562)
 * Confession of Nassau (1578)
 * Bremen Consensus (1595)
 * Sigismund Confession (1614)
 * Theological Declaration of Barmen (1934)
 * Belhar Confession (1986)
 * First adopted in South Africa and since adopted by many mainline Reformed churches.

Presbyterian

 * Scots Confession (1560)

 * Westminster Confession of Faith (1646)

 * Confession of 1967
 * Brief Statement of Faith (1991)

Congregationalist
The presbyterians' Westminster was formed by an assembly of ministers called by parliament for use in the established churches of England and Scotland. For congregationalists, this was not the case. The difference in application of the congregationalists' primary confession, Savoy, is that it was written as a declaration of consensus, and as such it was not treated as morally binding upon church officers like Westminster for presbyterians (called subscriptionism ).

Local congregational churches are historically formed around covenants (e.g. the Dedham Covenant), often unique to that church, another kind of confession.
 * Westminster Confession of Faith (1646)
 * Though not produced by congregationalists, the Synod of Cambridge (1648) adopted the WCF without revision, only referring to their own Cambridge Platform regarding church government (ch. XXV., XXX., and XXXI)
 * Savoy Declaration (1658)
 * Adopted in America as the Saybrook (1708)
 * The Declaration of 1833
 * Declaration of Faith (1865)

Baptist
Baptist confessions, like the congregationalists, are statements of agreement rather than enforceable rules. They "have never been held as tests of orthodoxy, as of any authoritative or binding force; they merely reflect the existing harmony of views and the scriptural interpretations of the churches assenting to them."

Part of the baptist movement finds its origin in the nonconformist movement in England, observing Calvinistic theology with the presbyterians and congregationalists. Calvinistic baptists are called reformed or particular baptists. There are further subdivisions of reformed baptists, such as regular and primitive.

Baptist churches, like the congregationalists with whom they share views of polity, compose church covenants for the local congregation.
 * First London Baptist Confession (1644)
 * The Confession of Somerset (1656)
 * Second London Baptist Confession (1689)
 * Adopted in America as the Philadelphia Confession (1742)
 * New Hampshire Confession (1833 or 1844)
 * Baptist Affirmation of Faith 1966

Anglican
Anglican churches are not confessional in the same strict sense as in Lutheran churches. Anglican doctrine is most defined by Lex orandi, lex credendi ("the law of praying [is] the law of believing").
 * Forty-two Articles (1553)
 * Thirty-Nine Articles (1562/63)
 * Lambeth Articles
 * Irish Articles of 1615
 * Westminster Confession of Faith (1646)
 * Produced by the Church of England during the English Civil War.

Methodist

 * Calvinistic Methodist Confession of Faith (1823)

Catechisms
Catechisms are teaching tools in the church, usually in a question and answer format.

Continental

 * Genevan Catechism (1541)
 * Emden Catechism (1554)
 * Heidelberg Catechism (1563)
 * Wittenberg Catechism (1571)

Presbyterian

 * Westminster Shorter Catechism (1649)
 * Westminster Larger Catechism (1649)

Congregationalist

 * Spiritual Milk for Boston Babes (1656)

Baptist

 * Keach's Catechism (1677)

Anglican

 * Anglican Catechism (1549)
 * Found within the Book of Common Prayer

Constitutions, ordinals, and platforms of church order
These documents relate to the ecclesiastical polity of the church.

Continental

 * Church Order of Dort (1618)
 * Ecclesiastical Ordinances (1641)

Presbyterian

 * Form of Presbyterial Church Government (1645)

Congregationalist

 * Cambridge Platform (1648)
 * Platform of Discipline of the Savoy Declaration (1658)
 * Full title: Of the Institution of Churches, and the Order appointed in them by Jesus Christ
 * Fifteen Articles of the Saybrook Platform (1708)
 * Boston Platform (1865)

Occasional documents
These documents are less general in scope than a usual confession. They may confess that church's response to a theological controversy (e.g. the Canons of Dort) or seek to find common ground between discrete churches (e.g. the Consensus Tigurinus).

 * Zwingli's Sixty-Seven Articles (1523)
 * Ten Theses of Berne (1528)
 * Lausanne Articles (1536)
 * Zurich Consensus (1549)
 * Sendomir Consensus (1570)
 * Harmony of the Confessions of Faith (1581), a response to the Lutheran Formula of Concord.
 * Canons of Dort (1619)
 * Helvetic Consensus (1675)
 * Conclusions of Utrecht (1905)

Talk:Petrobras 36

Quote
The quote seems ridiculous in its assertions and suspicious in that the footnote does not point to the source but instead an article on quality control for vaccine problems at Chiron. Is there a citation for this quote? (Reply: The footnote points to a page where the quote is listed at the very bottom.)

http://www.incose.org/northstar/2001Slides/FutronRisk.ppt

The quote is on the slides at the end. This is a widely quoted piece and I doubt it is wrong.--Rjstott 03:42, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

It is widely quoted but incredibly hard to verify. As part of an assignment I did on QA, I scoured everywhere in an attempt to verify this statement. It's wide disemination seems to stem from one source unquestionally quoting another (domino effect) rather than multiple confirmation of it's veracity. The closest you get is the media statement saying that it's from a Petrobras executive - which is very hard to verify. What makes it even more interesting is that (as far as I'm aware) Petrobras has yet to deny the quote's puported origin. I've emailed them to find out. Dreadpirate Roberts 03:06, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Encyclopedic content must be attributable to a reliable source
The issue that I had initially with the P36 article, and still do with the re-written content (Dreadpirate Roberts 03:06, 20 February 2007 (UTC), is that it cannot be attributed to a reliable source. The issue is not whether the article could be true, it is that it cannot be substantiated as being true from a reliable source - a fundumental requirement of this site!

The sinking arguably stemmed from 'quality' management failures, but to link those failures to an unsubstantiated quotation is miss-leading and detracts from the lessons that the reports (see links 'Petrobras P36' below) point to. I have added back the disputed page banner in accordance with the purpose of the banner.

fairlead box
What does a fairlead box do on an Oil Rig? I'm guessing guide the drill pipe or the mooring lines. I was going to link it to Fairlead, but it seems like I'd have some more 'splaining to do there.--J Clear 15:05, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

fairlead box reply
P36 had a number of 'boxes' on the pontoons and on the columns. The pontoon boxes were added in Canada to give more submerged buoyancy to allow extra load on the platform. They did this, but reduced stability at any given draught by the effect of the increased submerged volume. This is because the measure of returning lever has the form BM = I/V where I is the second moment of waterplane area and V is the submerged volume.

As built, 'Spirit of Columbus' - later P36 - had so-called stability boxes on the columns. These increased submerged volume but because they continued above the waterline they acted to increase stability (at all angles until the tops were submerged). The mooring fairleads were mounted on the lower part of these boxes so they appear to have been called 'fairlead boxes'.

Also during modification in Canada the 'stability boxes' on the columns were extended around the columns and upwards. Unfortunately they were'nt extended upwards sufficiently to provide the stability needed to counter the flooding of the pump room and other column spaces that sank her.

Petrobras P36
The Petrobras P36 accident, which resulted in the loss of the vessel and the lives of 11 crew, is appalingly reported on this site as an accident caused by Quality Assurance/Quality Control failures. The article implys that QA/QC failures occured, presumably during conversion of the vessel from the Spirit of Columbus (sister vessel to the Jake Bates, later used in the accident investigation) to the Petrobras P36. However, a relatively simple search of the Petrobras site will uncover the following link.

Petrobras Investor Relations: Presentations, 2001 []

This site contains the preliminary and final reports on the accident, as well as the preliminary and final DNV Verification reports for the investigation. These are also at the direct links below.

Aus0408 00:30, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't think the point here is what the Petrobras report says, but whether the origin of the quote can be verified. Even given the findings of the Petrobras report, the quote could still be legitimate. Therefore I have re-written the article in a way that properly outlines the nature of the quote. Dreadpirate Roberts 03:06, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Appalling Reported
Thanks for the links - I highly recommend reading the reports - even if they are only slideshow summaries.

What would be useful is a proper citation to the initial quotation. It was quoted in some press, Eg. by News Weekly (run by a socially conservative) but I've not yet found a direct citation.

Interestingly, the final report recommends, ironically, that Petrobas needs to: Systematize the process for the management of the changes to ensure that the project alterations are only implemented after the completion of risk analysis, up-dating of documentation, the approval from the appropriate authorities and training of the operating and maintenance team.

Kenny Miller

Kenneth Miller (born 23 December 1979) is a Scottish professional football coach and former player. Miller, who played as a striker, is one of only five post-war players to have played for both Rangers and Celtic.

Miller began his career at Hibernian before moving on to Rangers then to the English side Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he won his first career honour, the 2003 First Division play-off final. After five seasons with Wolverhampton, Miller returned to Scotland, signing for the other side of the Old Firm – Celtic. He finished his only full season at Celtic with SPL and Scottish Cup winners medals.

After one season with Derby County, he returned to Scotland and to Rangers, winning back-to-back SPL titles, the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup in his two full seasons. He moved to Turkish club Bursaspor in January 2011, but returned to the UK later that year, signing for Cardiff City. After one season with Cardiff, Miller played in Major League Soccer for Vancouver Whitecaps FC. He had a third spell with Rangers between 2014 and 2018. After a very brief spell as player/manager of Livingston, Miller played for Dundee and Partick Thistle.

Miller was a regular Scotland international player from his debut in 2001 until his retirement in 2013. He often played as an isolated lone striker, scoring 18 goals in 69 appearances.

Miller began his coaching career briefly as player-manager for Livingston, and later in Australia as assistant coach of the Newcastle Jets and Western Sydney Wanderers. He has since had stints as an assistant manager with both Falkirk and Huddersfield Town.

Hibernian
Miller grew up in Musselburgh and got his big break when he signed for local side Hibernian; he made his debut against Motherwell in the 1997–98 season. A loan spell at Stenhousemuir saw Miller score five doubles—10 goals—in 13 league and Scottish Cup games, before he returned to Hibernian to establish himself as a regular player. Highlights of his four years at the club included being the club's top scorer in season 1999–2000 and receiving the Scottish PFA Young Player of the Year award in 2000.

Rangers (first spell)
Miller signed for Rangers at a cost of £2 million on 26 June 2000, signing a five-year contract. He made his debut in a 4–1 win over FBK Kaunas on 26 July during a Champions League qualifier. His first goal came on 5 August 2000 during a league match away to Kilmarnock, scoring the third in a 4–2 win.

Three months later, Miller netted five goals (a Scottish Premier League record) during a 7–1 win against St Mirren. More goals followed against AS Monaco and Aberdeen and helped him to a tally of ten goals from just fourteen games, all coming before the turn of the year. Chances became limited thereafter and, as the season came to a close, he netted only once more against Brechin City in a Scottish Cup match on 27 January 2001. This proved to be his final strike that season. Miller had made a total of 38 appearances and scored 11 goals for Rangers.

Wolverhampton Wanderers
In September 2001, Miller went to Wolverhampton Wanderers on a three-month loan, scoring against Gillingham and Walsall. However, after just five appearances, Miller broke his collarbone in a fall. In December 2001, Wolves secured him on a permanent transfer at a cost of £3 million, on a four-and-a-half-year deal.

In 2002–03 Miller found himself back in the Wolves starting 11, but he had only managed six goals in 19 starts. However, during the final six months of the season he scored 18 goals in his final 24 appearances of that campaign, including in the play-off final that saw the club win promotion.

In the 2003–04 season, Miller started off in the physiotherapy room; it was not until October that he made his first Premier League start. He played in a 4–5–1 formation for the following few months, situated in a right-wing role. This led to frustration on Miller's part, and his only goals up until January came in the League Cup, against Burnley, and a double against Kidderminster Harriers in the FA Cup on 13 January. The following Saturday, Wolves beat Manchester United 1–0 with Miller scoring the winner in the 65th minute. Miller then grabbed a last minute equaliser against Liverpool the following Wednesday. Despite starting many games from then on in a striker's role, those were Miller's only Premier League goals and Wolves were relegated at the end of the season.

In the summer of 2004, Miller handed in a transfer request over lack of first team opportunities. Despite having a tense relationship with the Wolves manager, Dave Jones, he started the 2004–05 season in good form for the club scoring seven goals in his first 10 games at Wolves. The appointment of Glenn Hoddle signalled a new start for Miller, and he formed a successful partnership with Carl Cort, ending the 2004–05 season with 20 goals.

In summer 2005, his form attracted the attention of the newly promoted Premier League team Sunderland, but Wolves rejected their £1m and £1.2m offers and Miller began the new season as a Wolves player. He was subject of further transfer bid in the January transfer window, however Wolves rejected a £1.5m offer for Miller from Sheffield United after the player stated he was not interested in the move. Despite only playing in his natural position on few occasions, Miller still ended the season as top scorer, with 12 goals – the third time in Wolves' last three Championship campaigns. Miller played 191 games and scored 63 goals during his five years with the club.

Celtic
When Miller's contract expired at the end of that season, he transferred to Celtic for free under the Bosman ruling. He signed a pre-contract agreement in January after refusing to sign a new deal at Wolves a month earlier. Miller became only the third player since World War II to have played for both sides of the Old Firm – following Alfie Conn and Maurice Johnston.

Miller was handed the number nine jersey upon his arrival at Celtic. He endured a difficult start at the club, getting sent off in a pre-season friendly with D.C. United and failing to score in his first nine games. He finally netted his first goal, against Old Firm rivals and former employers Rangers at Celtic Park in September 2006. He proceeded to score in Celtic's 1–0 Champions League win against Copenhagen from the penalty spot and netted two in the 3–0 win over Benfica. By scoring in the 2006–07 competition, Miller became the first player to score goals in the Champions League proper for both Rangers and Celtic. However, he ended the season with only four league goals. He did play in the Scottish Cup final, before being substituted because of an injury. Despite hints from the player himself that he would leave to get more first-team opportunities, Miller vowed to stay at the club and fight for his place in the team. Miller scored his first goal in his first appearance of the 2007–08 season in a 4–1 victory over Falkirk and added to his collection the following week with a brace against Aberdeen. He netted 11 goals in total for the club in 46 appearances.

Derby County
Miller signed a three-year deal with newly promoted Premier League club Derby County on 31 August 2007 for an undisclosed fee, later confirmed by Derby County manager Paul Jewell to be close to £2.25m. Miller started well at his new club, scoring in his first two home matches, including the winner on his league debut for the Rams against Newcastle United in a 1–0 win on 17 September, a strike which won the club's Goal of the Season award. However, following this initial success Miller netted just twice in his next 28 league fixtures. After less than seven months at the club and with Derby looking likely candidates for relegation, Miller expressed a desire to move – return to Rangers being a possible destination, although manager Jewell insisted any move would have to be financially fair for Derby.

Rangers (second spell)
A fee of £2 million was agreed between Rangers and Derby allowing Miller to enter into discussions about a transfer back to Ibrox on 10 June 2008. The deal was completed on 13 June. Miller's return means he is the only player in the modern era to cross the Old Firm divide twice, and only the second in history, the first being Tom Dunbar in the 1890s.

Miller made his second debut for the club on 30 July 2008 in a Champions League qualifier against FBK Kaunas, who he played during his first Rangers debut. He netted a brace in the first Old Firm game of the season on 31 August 2008. He followed this up with a further two goals against former employers Hibernian at Easter Road a month later. Miller played in the League Cup Final in March 2009 but Rangers lost the match 2–0 to Celtic after extra time. However, he won a league winners medal with Rangers on the final day of the season and followed it up with a Scottish Cup winners medal.

Miller had an injury-ridden start to the 2009–10 season, but gave a Man of the Match performance in the first Old Firm game of the season, scoring both of Rangers' goals in a 2–1 win. In March 2010, he scored the winning goal in the League Cup Final against St Mirren, after Rangers had been reduced to nine men.

Miller was handed the number 9 shirt after Kris Boyd moved to Middlesbrough. He scored his second Rangers hat-trick against former club Hibernian on 22 August 2010; his first was when he scored five against St Mirren in November 2000. Miller claimed to be in "the form of his career" after notching up ten goals in the first six league matches of the 2010–11 season. Miller scored twice in the first Old Firm derby of the season.

Miller had scored 22 goals by early January, when Rangers accepted an offer of £700,000 from Birmingham City. A lower offer by Turkish club Bursaspor was later agreed, however. Miller had scored for Rangers against Bursaspor earlier that season in the Champions League. Despite leaving Rangers during the middle of the season, he finished the season as top goalscorer in the SPL.

Bursaspor
On 21 January 2011, Miller officially signed for Bursaspor for £400,000 on a two-and-a-half-year contract. He made his debut for the Turkish side two days later in a goalless draw with Konyaspor when he played the last 25 minutes after replacing Pablo Batalla. Kenny scored on his first start for Bursaspor in a 2–0 win over Galatasaray. He followed this up with a further two goals in his next game against Sivasspor, netting an 88th-minute winner. Miller scored five goals in 15 appearances for the club. Miller failed to settle in Turkey, however, and he asked Bursaspor to consider selling him. Bursaspor then accepted an offer from Cardiff City. Rangers also made an offer for Miller, but this was rejected by Bursaspor.

Cardiff City
Miller signed for Cardiff City on 26 July 2011, for a reported transfer fee of £870,000. Miller scored his first goal in the 91st minute of his debut match against West Ham United in the season opener. Miller returned to the score sheet, on 28 September, with a brace in a 2–1 win over Southampton. However, Miller suffered a groin injury in 10 minutes the following game against Hull City, which kept him out of two Scotland games and two Championship matches, where Cardiff only gained a point. On 19 October, manager Malky Mackay confirmed that Miller was fit and ready to make a return against Barnsley. Miller did return this match and scored the opener, but only lasted 30 minutes in the match after suffering a head injury. Miller scored in 1–0 victories against Birmingham City and Nottingham Forest in December. Cardiff reached the 2012 Football League Cup Final, but Miller missed a chance to score late in extra time. He then missed his penalty kick as Cardiff lost to Liverpool in a penalty shootout. He struggled for form later in the 2011–12 season, scoring only once in 22 appearances.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC
Miller signed with Vancouver Whitecaps FC of Major League Soccer on 16 July 2012. Six days later, he made his debut in a 2–1 home win over the San Jose Earthquakes, playing the last 12 minutes in place of Darren Mattocks. He scored his first goal for the Whitecaps on 25 August 2012 against the Portland Timbers in a 2–1 loss. He signed an extension in July 2013 to take him through June 2014 with the club, however, the two sides mutually agreed to terminate the remaining two months in his contract on 4 May 2014.

Rangers (third spell)
On 4 June 2014, Miller signed for Rangers on a one-year deal. He made his third debut against Hibernian in a Challenge Cup tie on 5 August and scored his first goal since his return to the club on 30 August against Queen of the South. Miller scored nine times in 41 appearances in 2014–15, as Rangers failed to win promotion to the top flight.

Miller signed another one-year extension with Rangers in November 2015. On 2 January 2016, Miller became Rangers' oldest ever player to score a hat-trick in a 6–0 win over Dumbarton. Five goals in four league games during January 2016 saw Miller win the Scottish Championship player of the month award. He played and scored in the 2016 Scottish Challenge Cup Final, as Rangers beat Peterhead 4–0, only five days after Rangers had secured the Scottish Championship trophy. Miller ended the 2015–16 season with 21 goals, scoring his final goal in the 2016 Scottish Cup Final which Rangers lost 3–2 to Hibernian, giving Hibernian their first Scottish Cup win since the 1901–02 Scottish Cup.

During the 2016–17 season, Miller scored his 100th goal for Rangers, over three spells, in a Scottish Premiership match against Inverness CT. It was strike which was nominated for the SPFL's and the club's goal of the month awards for October, winning the latter. He also scored his tenth career goal in an Old Firm derby (nine of them for Rangers) when he captained the side in a 2–1 home defeat to Celtic on Hogmanay 2016. He also scored the only goal for Rangers in a 5–1 defeat to Celtic, the heaviest defeat at Ibrox since 1897. Miller scored his first goals of 2017 with a late brace in a 2–1 Scottish Cup win at home to Motherwell on 21 January and followed this a week later by netting the opening goal in a league match, also against Motherwell. On 28 April, Miller signed an extension to his contract until 2018 with manager Pedro Caixinha stating he was impressed by Millers professionalism and leadership.

Miller scored the opening goal in Rangers' 2017–18 season against Progrès Niederkorn in the Europa League on 29 June 2017. Despite his goal, Rangers went on to lose 2–1 on aggregate, giving Progrès their first ever European win. Miller was dropped from the Rangers first team in September 2017. This came after Pedro Caixinha had criticised some of the team's Scottish players in a meeting after a 2–0 defeat by Celtic. Caixinha then suggested that a Rangers player had leaked team information to opponents, which led journalists to surmise that Miller had been the source. Caixinha was sacked in late October, and Miller was reinstated to the Rangers team by caretaker manager Graeme Murty; in his first game back, Miller scored two goals in a 3–1 win against Hearts.

In April 2018, Miller and teammate Lee Wallace were suspended by the club pending an internal investigation into an altercation with manager Murty, in the aftermath of the 2017–18 Scottish Cup semi-final which Rangers had lost 4–0 to Celtic. Miller was fined by Rangers and left the club at the end of his contract. Five months after the incident for which they were disciplined, Miller and Lee Wallace won an appeal at a SPFL tribunal against the action taken against them, with the expectation they would make a financial claim against Rangers for the fines imposed. Over his three spells at the club, he made 301 appearances in all competitions, scoring 116 goals.

Livingston player/manager
Miller was appointed player-manager of Scottish Premiership club Livingston in June 2018. He scored his first goal for the club on his third appearance, netting the only goal of a 1–0 victory over Dumbarton on 21 July in the group stage of the 2018–19 Scottish League Cup. He left the role on 19 August, with his departure being an 'amicable agreement' following discussions between Miller and the club hierarchy; they would have preferred him to give up playing and focus solely on the managerial role, which he was not prepared to do at that time. Livingston said that they had asked Miller to focus on his tasks as manager, but Miller had been unwilling to end his playing career. The following week, Miller's former Scotland teammate Gary Holt was appointed his successor at Livingston.

Dundee
Miller signed a two-year playing contract with Dundee on 29 August 2018. He failed to score in his first seven matches for the club but then scored five in three games, including a hat-trick at home to relegation rivals Hamilton Academical on 5 December. Dundee finished in bottom position in the Premiership table and were relegated to the Scottish Championship, with Miller leaving the club 'by mutual consent' during the summer off-season.

Partick Thistle
On 26 June 2019, Miller signed for Partick Thistle on a one-year contract. Miller scored his first goal for Thistle in the League Cup v Queen's Park in a 2–1 win. Miller was released from his Thistle contract in January 2020, having scored 10 goals in all competitions for the club. He announced his retirement from playing football soon afterwards.

International career
Miller made his under-21 debut for Scotland in a 2–0 defeat to France at Rugby Park in March 2000. It was the first of a total of seven appearances at under-21 level, in which Miller registered two goals.

Miller made his international debut, under the management of Craig Brown, on 25 April 2001. He was an 80th-minute substitute for Scott Booth during a 1–1 friendly match against Poland. He had to wait nearly two years for his second appearance when he was selected for a Euro 2004 qualifier by the then manager Berti Vogts in March 2003. Miller started the match at home to Iceland and scored within the first ten minutes to give Scotland the lead.

From then until his international retirement in 2013, Miller was almost always first-choice, playing either on his own or as part of a two-man attack. He scored goals in important games against several teams, including Germany and Ukraine. In 2005, Miller scored four goals in three internationals, against Austria, Italy, and Norway.

Miller won his 50th cap for Scotland in a 1–0 defeat against Czech Republic in October 2010. He captained the team for the first time, and scored, against Northern Ireland on 9 February 2011. Miller continued to represent Scotland after moving to Major League Soccer club Vancouver Whitecaps FC. He scored in the 3–2 defeat against England in August 2013, which meant that Miller had scored 18 goals in 69 appearances for Scotland. Miller retired from international football soon after the England match, with Scotland manager Gordon Strachan stating that Miller wanted to prolong his club career.

Coaching career
Upon signing a contract extension with Rangers in November 2016, Miller took up a part-time coaching role with their Under-20 team. After leaving Rangers in 2018, Miller had a short stint as player-manager of Livingston. He then continued his playing career with Dundee and Partick Thistle. Miller retired as a player in February 2020 and took a coaching role with Australian club Newcastle Jets. Following the departure of head coach Carl Robinson to Western Sydney Wanderers from Newcastle Jets, Miller followed suit joining Robinson as his assistant.

In December 2021, Miller was announced as the assistant head coach of Scottish League One side Falkirk alongside his former Vancouver Whitecaps manager, Martin Rennie. Miller became caretaker manager in April 2022 after Rennie left the club. He held this position until the end of the season, when John McGlynn was appointed as the new manager.

On 26 November 2022, Miller joined EFL Championship side Huddersfield Town as co-assistant coach under Mark Fotheringham. He and Fotheringham were sacked on 8 February 2023, following poor form.

Talk:Non-Volatile File System

Anything that has to do with NVFS should definitely go here, since this one is the most complete article of the NVFS File System. In fact, I was the one who started this article and beefed up this article to what it should be. -- Vesther 16:26, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Possible Copyright Violation!
This page is a duplicate of http://www.mrsci.com/Computer-File-Systems/NVFS_File_System.php. I assume that they are the copycats, but beware ..

Non-Volatile File System File System?
Is it really called NVFS File System? --Alynna 16:35, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * NVFS is just an acronym for Non-Volatile File System. I had to add the words "File System" after "NVFS" since the majority of people here in Wikipedia don't know too much about Computer Acronyms.  Therefore, I had to make the article as presentable as possible. -- Vesther 21:37, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Budapest Open Access Initiative

The Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) is a public statement of principles relating to open access to the research literature, which was released to the public on February 14, 2002. It arose from a conference convened in Budapest by the Open Society Institute on December 1–2, 2001 to promote open access which at that time was also known as Free Online Scholarship. This small gathering of individuals has been recognised as one of the major defining events of the open access movement. As of 2021, the text of the initiative had been translated to 13 languages.

On the 10th anniversary of the initiative in 2012, the original initiative was reaffirmed and supplemented with a set of recommendations for achieving open access in the next 10 years.

Content
The opening sentence of the BOAI encapsulated the purpose and potential of an open access movement: "An old tradition and a new technology have converged to make possible an unprecedented public good. The old tradition is the willingness of scientists and scholars to publish the fruits of their research in scholarly journals without payment, for the sake of inquiry and knowledge. The new technology is the internet. The public good they make possible is the world-wide electronic distribution of the peer-reviewed journal literature and completely free and unrestricted access to it by all scientists, scholars, teachers, students, and other curious minds."

Definition
The document contains one of the first and most widely used definitions of open access,  which was subsequently reaffirmed, 10 years after it was first published:

"By 'open access' to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited."

Strategy and funding
In 2001, the BOAI recommended two complementary strategies in order to achieve open access to scientific literature. First, scholars should follow the practice of self-archiving which is when authors deposit a copy of their own text to open archives on the internet. Preferably these archives should conform to the standards of the Open Archives Initiative and make it easy for users to find the texts. Second, scholars should launch new online open access journals and help other periodicals to adapt the principles of open access.

10th anniversary update
In 2012 on the 10th anniversary of the original initiative, a new statement was released which reaffirmed the BOAI's definition of open access, its goals, strategies and commitment to make progress. It also contained "the new goal that within the next ten years, OA will become the default method for distributing new peer-reviewed research in every field and country", policy recommendations for universities, research funding agencies, recommendations on choosing the optimal licence (CC-BY), designing open access repository infrastructure, and advocacy for achieving open access.

Impact
Along with the 2003 Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities and 2003 Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing, the Budapest initiative defined open access to research, lay out strategies for achieving this, and began the "open access movement" or "social movement" phase of open access advocacy. The initiative was sponsored with a US$3 million grant from the Open Society Institute.

Signatories
The 16 original signatories of the Budapest Open Access Initiative included prominent early advocates for open access:
 * Leslie Chan of Bioline International
 * Darius Cuplinskas, Melissa Hagemann, Rima Kupryte of Open Society Institute
 * István Rév, Open Society Institute, Open Society Archives
 * Michael Eisen of the Public Library of Science
 * Fred Friend († April 23, 2014) of University College London
 * Yana Genova of the Next Page Foundation
 * Jean-Claude Guédon of the Université de Montréal
 * Stevan Harnad of the University of Southampton/Université du Québec à Montréal
 * Rick Johnson of the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC)
 * Manfredi La Manna of the Electronic Society for Social Scientists
 * Monika Segbert, Electronic Information for Libraries (EIFL) Project consultant
 * Sidnei de Souza, Informatics Director at CRIA, Bioline International
 * Peter Suber, Professor of Philosophy, Earlham College and The Free Online Scholarship Newsletter
 * Jan Velterop of BioMed Central

In February 2002, the signatories released BOAI in a version that could be signed by the public. , over 5,900 individuals and 800 organizations had signed it. By 2023, this was over 6800 individuals and 1600 organizations.

Failure of imagination
Obvious phrase. Sure it was used in the 9/11 report but in the same way that "brake failure" is used to describe the failure of brakes.--Lee Hunter 16:29, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. I was just reading Bruce Schneier's July 15 CryptoGram.  He links to Failure of imagination.  Anyway, the phrase has a particular meaning in security now.  dbenbenn | talk 16:41, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect with Argument from ignorance, which already describes the fallacy of failure of imagination as a form of this logical fallacy. --FOo 17:02, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep — high-profile external link (so now the first sight of Wikipedia for a lot of new users is a warning that the article that brought them to Wikipedia "is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy" — oh, that's real good PR) ➥the Epopt 17:49, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Please don't berate your fellow editors for following policy. --FOo 18:39, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * There is no policy that says an article good enough to be cited outside Wikipedia must be nominated for deletion. ➥the Epopt 23:16, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * There is a policy which says that users should nominate pages for deletion if they believe they meet the deletion criteria. Berating them for doing just this shows a lack of respect for their good faith. --FOo 03:34, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, I think it has a specific 9/11-related meaning beyond the obvious one that the article explains well and Google confirms. Dcarrano 22:35, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep It has a distinct meaning, and we should remove the VfD tag as soon as possible. Themindset 23:25, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * We can't remove the VfD tag until this vote is through. --FOo 03:34, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's 9/11 context makes it of encyclopedic value. -- Titoxd 00:01, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Normally would be weak keep, but the link per Dbenbenn and Epopt means we should try to make this a better article.  Almafeta 16:35, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Argument from ignorance. - Ar 14:01, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with Titoxd's statement. -- Judson 23:27, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Edit. Term clearly has come in common usage - article however ehidibits a strong bias outside the scope of discussing the issue of "failure of imagination".
 * Keep. Little to add. --Kizor 17:15, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Kakhi Kakhiashvili

Kakhi Kakhiashvili (კახი კახიაშვილი, Ακάκιος "Κάχι" Κακιασβίλης; born 13 July 1969 in Tskhinvali, Georgian SSR, USSR) is a Georgian-Greek weightlifter, one of only five weightlifters to have won three consecutive gold medals at Olympic Games. He won his first at Barcelona 1992, competing with the Unified Team, and later as a citizen of Greece at Atlanta 1996 and in Sydney 2000. He won three Senior World Championships (1995, 1998, 1999), was twice a silver medalist at the Senior World Championships (1993 and 1994), and set seven world records during his career. He was named the 1996 and 1999 Greek Male Athlete of the Year.

Kakhiashvili was born in Tskhinvali, Georgia, to a Georgian father and a Greek mother, Maria Lamprianidi. He is renowned in weightlifting circles for his uncanny ability to lift exactly what was required to win. Dubbed as a "computer" by some competitors, he also had the ability to block out everything that was not relevant to the competition at hand.

Career
At the 1992 Summer Olympics lifting for the Unified Team in the 90 kg category, he went against the instructions of his coach Vasily Alexeev, the all-time weightlifting great. His coach wanted his Russian teammate Sergey Syrtsov to win the contest and did not let Kakhiashvili try to lift heavier to beat the Russian. During the snatch portion of the competition, it looked like Sergey Syrtsov was going to win, with a 12.5 kg lead over Kakhiashvili from an Olympic Record 190.0 kg snatch. During the clean & jerk portion of the competition Kakhiashvili lifted 225.0 kg on his second attempt, giving him a total of 402.5 kg, a full 10.0 kg less than Syrstov. Kakhi ordered 10 kg more to be put on the bar in order to beat his Russian teammate. He successfully lifted the 235.0 kg clean and jerk, giving him a total of 412.5 kg. Event though his total tied Syrstov, Kakhiashvili won the gold medal due to virtue of a lighter bodyweight, (89.25 kg vs. 89.45 kg) this performance established his right to the title of one of the sports elite lifters.

Robbie Winters

Robert Winters (born 4 November 1974) is a Scottish former footballer who played as a striker. He made one appearance for the Scotland national team in 1999.

Winters started his career in Scotland and played for Dundee United between 1992 and 1997 and Aberdeen between 1998 and 2002. After a short spell at English club Luton Town, Winters played for the Norwegian club Brann between 2002 and 2008 where he won the Norwegian Cup and the Norwegian Premier League.

Winters has later played for Clyde, Ayr United, Livingston, Grindavik, Alloa Athletic, Peterhead and Albion Rovers.

Early life
Winters was born in East Kilbride on 4 November 1974, he played as a youth for Mallard Swifts and started his career with amateur club Muirend. His younger brother David, who would also become a professional footballer, was born in 1983.

Club
Winters began his senior career with Dundee United in 1992 and played 118 league games for the club, scoring 27 times. A move to Aberdeen beckoned, which saw Billy Dodds and cash come to Tannadice in exchange for Winters. His time at Pittodrie was fruitful, with 41 goals from 132 league appearances. In the 2000 Scottish Cup Final, Winters came on as a 2nd-minute substitute to replace injured goalkeeper Jim Leighton, who suffered a fractured cheekbone. Playing virtually the whole match in an unfamiliar position, Winters let in four goals as Rangers beat Aberdeen 4–0.

After leaving in 2002 when his contract expired, Winters played one match for Luton Town, appearing in the first half of the first match of the season, before moving to Norway with Brann. After several seasons with hints about leaving Bergen due to family issues, Winters stated on 31 October that he no longer had the motivation needed to play for SK Brann, and that he wished to leave the club in January. He was seeking a club, preferably in Scotland, but he also stated that an English Championship club would be interesting. With no contract offer, Winters returned to SK Brann to make peace with manager Mons Ivar Mjelde and fulfil his contract until December 2007. Winters' Scottish teammate Charlie Miller did leave and subsequently joined Belgian side Lierse.

Winters left Brann after the 2008 season, to join his family who had moved back to Scotland during the summer, due to his children starting school. Winters played 178 matches for Brann, scoring 70 goals. He signed a short-term deal with Clyde until the end of the season in April 2009. Winters was released by Clyde in June 2009 along with the rest of the out of contract players, due to the club's financial position.

After an impressive performance as a trialist against Falkirk, Winters signed a professional contract with Livingston on 28 August 2009.

Winters played for Icelandic club Grindavík in 2011. He scored on his debut against Thor. He then played for Alloa Athletic during the 2011–12 season and helped them win the Scottish Third Division championship. In the summer of 2012, Winters signed for Peterhead, before being released in February 2013 and going on a 3-game trial with Albion Rovers. He chose not to sign a contract at the expiration of the trial. He joined Dumbarton in March 2013.

Winters signed for Rossvale in August 2014 and scored two goals on his debut. He then signed for Pollok in April 2015, where he joined his younger brother David. He joined Lowland League team East Kilbride in July 2015, but left the club the following month after "a difference of opinion" with manager Billy Ogilvie. Returning to Junior football, he made one appearance assisting Kilbirnie Ladeside before rejoining Pollok in September 2015.

Winters came off the substitutes bench and scored with his first touch in the 2015–16 Scottish Junior Cup final for Pollok against Beith Juniors. He also scored in the penalty shootout which Pollok eventually lost. In August 2016, Winters rejoined East Kilbride for a second spell, this time in a player-coach role and was reunited with his former Rossvale manager, Martin Lauchlan. However, similarly to his first spell with the side, Winters time with the club was brief and he left in November 2016, due to a combination of work commitments and a lack of playing time.

Winters joined Cumbernauld United in August 2017. He retired from playing in 2018.

International
Winters made one appearance for Scotland, in a 1–0 friendly win against Germany in Bremen, April 1999.

Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities

The Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities is an international statement on open access and access to knowledge. It emerged from a conference on open access hosted in the Harnack House in Berlin by the Max Planck Society in 2003.

Background
Following the Budapest Open Access Initiative in 2002 and the Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing in 2003, the Berlin Declaration was a third influential event in the establishment of the open access movement. Peter Suber has referred to the three events combined as the "BBB definition" of open access as the three overlap with and inform one another.

The declaration was drafted at an October 2003 conference held by the Max Planck Society and the European Cultural Heritage Online (ECHO) project. More than 120 cultural and political organizations from around the world attended.

Statement
The statement itself was published on October 22, 2003. Acknowledging the increasing importance of the internet and the previous discussions on the need for open access, it offered the following definition of an open access contribution:

"Open access contributions must satisfy two conditions: The author(s) and right holder(s) of such contributions grant(s) to all users a free, irrevocable, worldwide, right of access to, and a license to copy, use, distribute, transmit and display the work publicly and to make and distribute derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible purpose, subject to proper attribution of authorship (community standards, will continue to provide the mechanism for enforcement of proper attribution and responsible use of the published work, as they do now), as well as the right to make small numbers of printed copies for their personal use.

A complete version of the work and all supplemental materials, including a copy of the permission as stated above, in an appropriate standard electronic format is deposited (and thus published) in at least one online repository using suitable technical standards (such as the Open Archive definitions) that is supported and maintained by an academic institution, scholarly society, government agency, or other well-established organization that seeks to enable open access, unrestricted distribution, inter operability, and long-term archiving."

It also encouraged researchers and institutions to publish their work in accordance with these principles, advocate for open access and help in the development and assessment of open access related tools and measures.

Signatories
, there are 769 signatories of the declaration.

Legacy
At a 2005 follow-up conference, the declaration was refined to two key principles: signatories should require researchers to deposit a copy of their work in an open access repository and encourage the publication of work in open access journals when available. Today these two concepts are often called "green OA" and "gold OA", respectively, and the two combined are referred to as an open-access mandate.

In 2013, on the 10th anniversary of the declaration, a mission statement was published with a goal of ensuring that 90% of research is published within an open access model.

Mordechai Nessyahu

Mordechai Nessyahu (September 25, 1929 – April 23, 1997) was an Israeli political theorist and philosopher of science, as well as the originator of a worldview he called cosmotheism.

Biography
While studying physics and philosophy at the Hebrew University, Nessyahu began to formulate the worldview he eventually called cosmotheism. He exchanged several letters on the subject with Albert Einstein. In 1953 he published a book in Hebrew entitled מדע הקוסמוס וחברת המדע (Cosmic Science and the Scientific Society) which became the foundation of his eventual cosmotheistic formulation. Moshe Sharett, soon to be Israel's second prime minister, was so impressed by the book that he shared it with Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion. As a result, Nessyahu was appointed Director of the Research Department of the Israeli Labor Party. Nessyahu remained in this position until his death.

In 1968 he met Tsvi Bisk, a new immigrant from the United States, who became his assistant at the Research Department. This meeting triggered a renewed interest in cosmotheism with Bisk as his collaborator and translator. Numerous English-language drafts of the idea were produced over the years and sent to hundreds of thinkers around the world to solicit their opinions. The year he died Nessyahu finally published his work in book form in Hebrew.

The cosmotheistic hypothesis
The cosmotheistic hypothesis stipulates that the Big Bang that created our cosmos was a local event in an infinite universe — a universe that contains an infinite number of cosmoi (what is now being speculated by theoretical physicists as the multiverse). It proposes that this cosmos is an evolutionary entity, in a constant state of ever growing complexity — that eventually has produced conscious life. It posits that due to the evolutionary nature of cosmic development, now being revealed by the "new physics" and "new cosmology", it is statistically certain that huge numbers of conscious life-forms (equivalent in self-awareness to human beings) have arisen throughout the cosmos; as if conscious life has been sown (as a cosmic genome) throughout the cosmos by the very process of cosmic evolution.

Nessyahu postulated that a number of these conscious life-forms will conclude that they must strive to become part of the God-ing of the cosmos. The expansion of conscious life throughout the cosmos will eventually be unfettered by its physical limitations and ultimately conscious life will fill the entire cosmos; it will become co-eval with a cosmos that has dissolved into pure radiation as an inevitable consequence of entropy. Thus the cosmos will become in its entirety a conscious universal being — i.e., the cosmos will have become God. Cosmotheism posits God as the consequence of the cosmos and not as its cause. Not in the beginning God created the cosmos but in the end the evolutionary cosmos will have created God.

From cosmotheism to cosmodeism
Since several racist groups co-opted the name cosmotheism, Nessyahu's living colleague Tsvi Bisk decided to rename Nessyahu's hypothesis cosmodeism, a name closer to the tradition of natural theology which cosmodeism best reflects. Bisk is presently writing a book entitled Cosmodeism: A Worldview for the Space Age.

Talk:Trimethylaluminium

Similar name
This substance has similar abbreviation with tetramethylammonium and should not be mixed up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.40.139.130 (talk) 13:35, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Cleanup
what is the chemical equation of oxidation of trimethyaluminum.what are the conditions and the mechanisms cleanup tag uncalled for? all articles can be improved upon, this article pretty much sums up trimethylaluminum, it should have a chembox and a molecule pic and much more but that does not mean it is not up to quality standards. V8rik 16:35, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

I agree- I've asked Jon the Geek what he had in mind. Walkerma 17:06, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I was talking mostly about grammar. I apologize if "cleanup" was the wrong tag to throw in, it just seemed like a hard-to-read article with some grammar and style issues. I'll try to take a look at it myself later.

 * Thanks Jon for your reply, the cleanup tag is indeed not the right tag for grammar issues and I am not sure if there exists a suitable grammar tag. Most of the time grammar and spelling are corrected on the spot by a volunteer. I only speak and write globish so I will not attempt the grammer rework for this article. V8rik 16:43, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Per Template_messages/Cleanup, I've changed the tag to copyedit. I'm adding that tag list to my user page so I can find it more easily; I often see things that I'm personally not able (due to time or knowledge) to fix, so it's good to have a list that's more specific than cleanup. Jon the Geek 07:43, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Picture
The picture is wrong as the bridging methyl groups are not oriented as shown. They are oriented symmetrically between the Al atoms such that a mirror plane exists that connects the two bridging carbons and is perpendicular to the molecule plane (Al-C-Al'-C'). Sebo, 30 Dec 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.64.176.29 (talk) 11:34, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree that. It's wrong. At the "inner square" the methylen groups at the top and bottom got three hydrogen-atoms PLUS two alloy-bonds, so that there are 5 bondings at each carbon in the sum. That's impossible for carbon! Sadorkan (talk) 08:38, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Thanks, but check out Three-center two-electron bond or review a textbook on inorganic chemistry or organometallic chemistry.--Smokefoot (talk) 12:43, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Thx for telling me about Three-center two-electron bond. Al2(CH3)6 shows indeed 6 CH3-groups. After studying Valence bond theory (again), I've understood. Unfortunately I'm not so sophisticated at Inorganic chemistry, Organometallic chemistry and Coordination complex. Thanks to you, I learned a little bit more. =o) I've found a good german Article that declares this well too. This article exists not in englisch. But maybe you want to read it, using google (or other) translation tool. > http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehrzentrenbindung. Sadorkan (talk) 11:51, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Dimer
If it is possible, someone, please, add information about dimer structure. As for me, I don't understand, how carbon can have fifth valencyАрмонд@ 08:26, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

 * There are two bridging methyl groups in the dimer. Each one is bonded to two aluminium atoms at the same time. Those carbon-aluminium bonds are not your normal covalent bonds (two-center two-electron bonds, 2c2e). They are instead three-center two-electron bonds (3c2e). You might prefer to think about it in terms of resonance: Al–C Al ↔ Al C–Al. The resonance hybrid would then be Al···C···Al. Each Al···C bond has a bond order of 0.5. Therefore carbon doesn't really form 5 full bonds. Instead, it forms 3 normal bonds to hydrogen and 2 half-strength bonds to aluminium. So the number of (full) bonds to carbon is still 4. The same bonding situation arises in other molecules, for example diborane.

Proposed deletion of The Wreck of the Walrus, a Shipwreck on Discovery Island at Walt Disney World

The article The Wreck of the Walrus, a Shipwreck on Discovery Island at Walt Disney World has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * No references, no Google hits. Even if there were, not notable enough for its own article, and not a plausable redirect.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Singularity42 (talk) 23:34, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Farid F. Abraham
Was tagged for speedy delete with a reason given as being "not notable". Moving this to VfD to determine if the subject is considered notable. No Vote --Allen3 talk 16:36, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand — To me at least, he seems quite notable, and this should not be deleted, speedy or otherwise. — RJH 18:33, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Can't think of a good reason to delete this.--Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:30, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. He's a legitimate scientist. With time the article will be expanded. -- Judson 23:29, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've expanded the article slightly. More than enough to establish notability. (3 cover articles in Science seems more than enough for a scientist.) Can someone more savvy than myself remove the Speedy tag from the page? Dystopos 00:43, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. I should remark on the circumstances of this VfD.  It's one of several that were tagged on the bogus speedy justification "not notable". Some of them were wrongly speedied, and I have restored those.  Also the person who listed this on VfD didn't insert the VfD notice in the article.  I have added it now, and whoever closes this discussion should take into account the fact that it wasn't properly tagged until 18th. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 10:16, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

Wikipedia:Collaboration of the week/Deccan language

Deccan language

 * Nominated on 16:37, 15 July 2005 (UTC); needs 5 votes by 22 July. (pruned at 23h, 23 July)

Over 10 million speakers, and no page exists for it yet

Support:
 * 1) Conrad Leviston 16:37, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Deryck C. 11:35, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Comment:
 * If this nomination fails here, try listing it on the Indian Collaboration: WP:INCOTW--Fenice 07:08, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I've never heard of a Deccan language till today and a google search does not reveal too much info. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  07:08, July 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Desi language has more hits, maybe that is the more common term. According to this Wikipedia-article List of languages by total speakers there are ten million speakers of deccan in India. Other names seem to be desi or dekini.--Fenice 07:23, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Honestly speaking, I've never heard of this language in India, and what astonishes me are its large numbers. I'm guessing that it is a term used for all the languages in the Deccan. "desi" means country or country language (village language). =Nichalp   «Talk»=  08:33, July 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * I did a Google-search using the number of speakers given in our table. This did turn up results: it must be an urdu dialect distinctive to the Deccan plateau.
 * and a video file is on here:
 * There is not enough information to research this article from the internet though. --Fenice 09:56, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
