Modern Defense, Monkey's Bum

The Monkey's Bum is a variation of the Modern Defense, a chess opening. Although it may also be loosely defined as any approach against the Modern Defense involving an early Bc4 and Qf3, threatening "Scholar's mate", it is strictly defined by the sequence of moves:

 * 1. e4 g6
 * 2. Bc4 Bg7
 * 3. Qf3 e6
 * 4. d4 Bxd4
 * 5. Ne2 Bg7
 * 6. Nbc3

The Monkey's Bum Deferred is a more respected variation in which White develops their queen's knight before playing Bc4 and Qf3.

Origin
The Monkey's Bum was discovered and championed by IM Nigel Povah in the 1970s during a wave of popularity of the Modern Defence. In 1972, after Keene and Botterill published their book The Modern Defence, Povah began looking for a response to the opening. He happened across the game Ljubojević–Keene, Palma de Mallorca 1971, which started 1.e4 g6 2.d4 d6 3.Bc4 Bg7 4.f4 Nf6 and eventually ended in a draw. Intrigued by Ljubojević's early Bc4, Povah began investigating a rapid assault on f7 with 3.Qf3. When he showed the first few moves to Ken Coates, a friend at Leeds, Coates declared, "If that works then I'm a monkey's bum!" The name stuck. The Monkey's Bum first appeared in print five years later in the British Chess Magazine. Povah wrote an article on the theory of the Monkey's Bum, in which he stated that although he had never yet lost with the variation, it was still "in its infancy".

Analysis
In playing the Monkey's Bum, White's idea is to gain active piece play by a sacrifice of the d4-pawn, much like the Smith-Morra Gambit. In practice however, such compensation proves tenuous in the Monkey's Bum proper, as evidenced by the following game:

1.e4 g6 2.Bc4 Bg7 3.Qf3 e6 4.d4 Bxd4 5.Ne2 Bg7 6.Nbc3 Nc6 7.Bf4 Ne5 8.Bxe5 Bxe5 9.Qe3 d6 10.0–0–0 Bd7 11.f4 Bg7 12.g4 a6 13.h4 b5 14.Bb3 a5 15.a4 bxa4 16.Nxa4 h5 17.e5 Nh6 18.exd6 Nxg4 19.Qc5 c6 20.Nd4 Bxd4 21.Rxd4 0–0 22.Nb6 Rb8 23.Nxd7 Qxd7 24.Ba4 Qb7 25.b3 Qb6 26.Qxb6 Rxb6 27.Rc4 Rd8 28.Bxc6 Rxd6 29.Bf3 Ne3 30.Ra4 Rb4 31.Rxa5 Rxf4 32.Bb7 Rb6 33.Ba8 Nf5 34.Kb2 Nxh4 35.Ka3 Nf5 36.c4 Nd4 37.Rb1 Nc2+ 38.Ka2 Nb4+ 39.Kb2 Rb8 40.c5 Nd3+ 0–1
 * Nigel Povah–Shimon Kagan, Birmingham 1977

Monkey's Bum Deferred
A much more popular and respected approach against the Modern Defense is the Monkey's Bum Deferred. It has been employed by such notable grandmasters as John Nunn, Sergei Rublevsky and Judit Polgár. It is distinct from the Monkey's Bum proper in that the attempt to create the "Scholar's mate" threat with Bc4 and Qf3 only occurs after White has developed their queen's knight. A typical sequence of the Monkey's Bum Deferred is 1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nc3 c6 4.Bc4 d6 5.Qf3 (see diagram). Usually White will castle kingside and undertake an attack by means of the pawn thrust f2–f4.

The following spectacular game is probably the most famous success of the Monkey's Bum Deferred and forced it to be considered with respect by the chess world:

1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nc3 c6 4.Bc4 d6 5.Qf3 e6 6.Nge2 b5 7.Bb3 a5 8.a3 Ba6 9.d5 cxd5 10.exd5 e5 11.Ne4 Qc7 12.c4 bxc4 13.Ba4+ Nd7 14.N2c3 Ke7 15.Nxd6 Qxd6 16.Ne4 Qxd5 17.Bg5+ Ndf6 18.Rd1 Qb7 19.Rd7+ Qxd7 20.Bxd7 h6 21.Qd1 1–0
 * Judit Polgár–Alexei Shirov, Donner Memorial, Amsterdam, 1995

Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art

The Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art ("The Johnson Museum") is an art museum located on the northwest corner of the Arts Quad on the main campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Its collection includes two windows from Frank Lloyd Wright's Darwin D. Martin House, and more than 35,000 other works in the permanent collection. It was designed by architect I.M. Pei and is known for its distinctive concrete facade.

History
President Deane Waldo Malott established the original University Art Museum in 1953. The A. D. White House was renovated to house Cornell's art collections. The current museum, constructed in 1973, is named after its primary benefactor, Herbert Fisk Johnson Jr., a Cornell Class of 1922 graduate, head of S.C. Johnson & Sons ("Johnson Wax"), and a former member of the university's Board of Trustees.

Architecture
The Johnson Museum of Art was designed by architect I.M. Pei. It can be characterized by its fifth floor, which cantilevers over the open aired sculpture garden. It was designed so that it would not block the view of Cayuga Lake, and offers a panoramic view of the same from its north and west sides. It also houses a room for meetings on the sixth floor, which was used for many years by Cornell's Board of Trustees.

The unique location of the museum presented several architectural challenges; building space was limited, and it could not overwhelm the view of Cayuga Lake or the nearby Arts Quad. Moreover, it would sit atop the knoll where tradition said Ezra Cornell chose the site for his university, at the north end of the Stone Row of McGraw, Morrill, and White Halls. The design sought to visually terminate the north end of Library Slope. The resulting design was a narrow tower and a bridge, which critics have likened to a giant sewing machine.

The building was awarded the American Institute of Architects Honor Award in 1975. The building's design also appeared on the cover of Scientific American as an early example of computer graphics.

Extension
In 2011, the museum opened renovated spaces and a 16,000-square-foot extension inspired by the original plans drawn up by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners. The head architect was John L. Sullivan III, Cornell class of 1962. The 16,000 sqft project cost $22 million, including some renovations to the main building, and was funded by major grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Kresge Foundation. The Asian art storage area was relocated from the center of the fifth floor to the lower level of the addition, making room for additional public gallery space on the fifth floor. An outdoor Japanese garden was created outside the extension.

In 2015, Cornell filed a lawsuit against Pei Cobb Freed & Partners for "architectural malpractice," citing an "inherently flawed and materially defective" design of the new wing. Cornell claimed the addition was "fundamentally flawed" and resulted in over $1.1 million in damage costs.

Collections
The permanent collection consists of more than 35,000 works of art. Most notable is the George and Mary Rockwell Asian Art collection. Spanning from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, the European collection includes works by Albrecht Dürer, William Hogarth, Francisco Goya, Édouard Manet, Charles-François Daubigny, Edgar Degas, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Otto Dix, Fernand Léger and Henri Matisse.There are also extensive holdings of American artists, including Georgia O'Keeffe and Andy Warhol, as well as members of the Hudson River School and the American Impressionists to contemporary art. The Collection of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs consists of more than 22,000 works, including works by Berenice Abbott, Robert Frank, Alfred Stieglitz, and Garry Winogrand. Its fifth floor houses the museum's extensive Asian collection. The permanent collection also includes works from Africa, pre-Columbian America, and Oceania, representing many eras.

Education
Although for-credit classes are conducted by Cornell's academic departments rather than the museum, the museum does provide curriculum-structured gallery sessions for specific classes. It also hosts faculty-conducted gallery tours and course-related exhibitions. The museum also hosts thematic tours for local school student field trips. The Johnson Museum Club is a Cornell student group that promotes awareness of the Johnson Museum's facilities and collections. It hosts concerts, scavenger hunts and other events.

Michael Jackson
Howdy. First of all, I can't tell if anyone's welcomed you to Wikipedia yet. Either way, welcome!

As for Michael Jackson – yeah, it has a lot of issues with POV, but typically that tag is only added to articles if there is an editor or group of editors that have specific issues they'd like to hammer out with the article. Anonymous Jackson supporters and detractors are constantly adding crap to the article, and it's very hard to keep up. That being the case, keeping a POV tag on the article in perpetuity for general POV-ness is, IMHO, not so good an idea. If you've got specific issues you'd like to address, feel free to do so at Talk:Michael Jackson. I watch the article regularly for vandalism and the aforementioned POV edits, and am always willing to discuss changes. Cheers, android  79  02:04, August 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the double-post there; server hiccup. android  79  02:06, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the Welcome. My first one!

 * Thanks also for the info re:POV box. I know what you mean and will bear it in mind for the future. KrisW6 17:40, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Regarding these edits that have been made to the Michael Jackson article. Do you have any sources for the information that you have put? →Jo urna list  >>talk<<  00:33, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Source regarding edits to FTBOMH
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,171414,00.html

“But even more interesting are two more people new to the crowd: Atlanta music business attorney Joel Katz and Island/DefJam Records chairman Antonio L.A. Reid. Their project is simple. My sources say that Katz has come to represent the Prince (of Bahrain) in a deal that would fund a record label for Jackson at Island/DefJam’s parent, Universal Music Group.”

WP:NOADS
Just a heads-up on your "No Ads" box on your user page -- it seems that controversy has largely passed and was probably blown out of proportion to begin with. I'm not really taking a position one way or another, but I just wanted to let you know.--chris.lawson 07:55, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Michael Jackson NPOV issues
Admins generally won't block 3RR vios unless the user was warned prior to violating, or if it's VERY egregious. As he's now been warned, any further reversions will probably result in a block, but his fourth revert that he's already made may or may not. You're welcome to report on WP:AN/3RR if you wish; we might get lucky.--chris.lawson 08:09, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi, KrisW6. How are you? Ive noticed some of your edits to the Michael Jackson article. For example :this and this. Do you have any rational reasons to remove these edits. How can you be particularly sure that they are "untrue"?

Here are a couple sources for the info you requested:
 * "Thriller" in the Guinness Book of World Records as the "world's biggest-selling album ever" Guinness World record
 * Two sources showing the Michael Jackson is the "Best selling solo artist of all time". He received an award from the World Music Awards proving this:news source and World Music awards page

These sources are both independent and authoritative,(not fansites). Ive since reverted your edits to the article. If you still have any issues, please let me know. Thanks. Or an  e    (t)   (c)   (@)  01:11, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Hidden agenda
You obviously have a hidden agenda. You've accused me of having bias POV many of times. But all I've done is try to improve the Michael Jackson article as best I can. Your allegations against me have to backbone and you are purposely trying to discredit me and my information, because you want to make Michael Jackson look as bad as you can by editing information (which you call POV) added to the Michael Jackson article by me (changing biggest selling album to 2nd biggest). By discrediting my information, you think you can make your false information seem more accurate and reliable. Street walker 09:20, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I admit I am a newcomer and don't know the rules inside and out yet, but you constantly break one of the most important rules on Wiki, NPOV. Street walker 09:28, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I would also like to say that my allegations of POV on your part are not unfounded. See the above topic on this page. You edited information on the Jackson article that has been cited to a reliable source. There's not a soul on earth that doesn't know about Thriller or how it is the best selling album of all-time.

p.s. Don't take my comments to you offensively. I only mean to make you aware of the NPOV mistakes you may be making. I actually value your participation on the Michael Jackson article, as the article needs people who think differently about Jackson to level out the sometimes pro-MJ bias.

Regards, Street walker 09:53, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Removing other user's comments on talk pages
Hi Kris, how are you going?

I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction. You see, I have been searching through my history, after you made allegations about me removing other user's comments on talk pages, but couldn't find any example of this. Can you please point me in the right direction. Not only cannot I not find examples of this, but I have no memory of this. Furthermore, I have no memory of being warned about me "type of behaviour" before you came around making wild accusations. Btw, I am reporting you for editing the Michael Jackson article with false information. Street walker 10:38, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

You have taken unnecessary steps in reporting me
Please see Vandalism in progress for more information about how to report people who you believe are vandals.

 * Step 1: On the user's talk page, warn that his/her behavior is not appropriate and is considered vandalism. Only add users to the list who continue to vandalize after being warned.
 * You did not do this. You reported me and then told me about it. I was unaware my behaviour was innappropriate. After you told me you had reported me, I ceased to remove anymore rfd notices.

I went to this page to report you, after reading the page I realised I had not completed the steps and I had been unnecessarily reported. Actually, considering my case, if necessary I should've been added to this list. So now, I am warning you about your edits on the Michael Jackson article (untrue information, blatant lies, nonsense - Demonstrations in Bahrain). You also removed correct, and accurate information that had been cited and proven, from Records and achievements by Michael Jackson.

Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks.

Street walker and related issues
Street walker has requested help on Clueless newbies in understanding what he did wrong. I'm willing to assume good faith unless he's a repeat (and by repeat, I mean after this date, not before) offender. You might want to consider applying WP:AGF yourself as regards this, and even Hanlon's Razor. KillerChihuahua 21:55, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Featured article for December 25th
I noticed you have listed yourself in Category:Atheist Wikipedians. That said, you will probably be interested in my suggested featured article for December 25th: Omnipotence paradox. The other suggestion being supported by others for that date is Christmas, although Raul654 has historically been against featuring articles on the same day as their anniversary/holiday. — BRIAN 0918 • 2005-11-28 08:22

London Meetup - January 12, 2008
Hi! There's going to be a London Wikipedia Meetup coming Saturday January 12, 2008. If you are interested in coming along take part in the discussion over at Meetup/London7. The discussion is going on until tomorrow evening and the official location and time will be published at the same page late Thursday or early Friday. Hope to see you Saturday, Poeloq (talk) 02:58, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Invitation to Wikipedia meetup in London

Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008

Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map

More information: Meetup/London 12

Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

James F. (talk) 09:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Please forgive the slightly impersonal mass-invite!

Integration clause

In contract law, an integration clause, merger clause, (sometimes, particularly in the United Kingdom, referred to as an entire agreement clause) is a clause in a written contract which declares that contract to be the complete and final agreement between the parties. It is often placed at or towards the end of the contract. Any pre-contractual material which the parties wish to be incorporated into the contract need to be assembled with it or explicitly referred to in the contractual documentation.

Effect
A contract that has such a clause may be deemed an integrated contract, and any previous negotiations in which the parties to the contract had considered different terms will be deemed superseded by the final writing. Many modern cases, however, have found merger clauses to only a rebuttable presumption that the contract is integrated.

In the United States, the existence of such a term is normally not conclusive proof that no varied or additional conditions exist with respect to the performance of the contract beyond those that are in the writing, but instead is simply evidence of that fact.

In Personnel Hygiene Services Ltd v Mitchell, an England and Wales Court of Appeal case where there were two distinct contractual relationships between the parties, a service agreement superseded by a compromise agreement, and a separate share purchase agreement, the court held that the entire agreement provisions in the compromise agreement annulled the service agreement but the share purchase agreement remained intact.

Sample clause
The following language is an example of an integration clause: "This agreement (together with the documents referred to herein as from time to time amended) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters dealt with herein and supersedes any previous agreement between the parties in relation to such matters. Save in respect of statements made fraudulently, the parties accept that they are to have no rights or liabilities in respect of pre-contractual statements."

Collateral contracts
Parties in dispute may wish to argue that a previous understanding or implied agreement, made before a contract with an entire agreement was signed, should also be separately enforced as a collateral contract. Christopher Nugee QC, now a Lord Justice of Appeal, has ruled that the existence of an entire agreement clause within the main contract creates an "obvious difficulty" for a party who wishes to rely on such a separate agreement.

HMCS Cape Breton (ARE 100)

HMCS Cape Breton was a Royal Canadian Navy Cape-class maintenance ship. Originally built for the Royal Navy as HMS Flamborough Head in 1944, she was transferred in 1952. Upon her commissioning she was the second ship to bear the name Cape Breton. She served operationally from 1953–1964, when she was laid up. She was used as a floating machine shop until the late-1990s, before being sold for use as an artificial reef off the coast of British Columbia.

Design and description
Flamborough Head was one of the 21 Beachy Head-class repair ships, built for the Royal Navy during the Second World War. The Beachy Heads were modified versions of the Fort ship, called the "Victory" design. The ships of the class had a standard displacement of 8550 LT and 11270 LT fully loaded. They were 441 ft long overall and 425 ft between perpendiculars with a beam of 57 ft and a draught of 20 ft. The vessels were propelled by one shaft driven by a reciprocating triple expansion steam engine powered by steam from two Foster Wheeler boilers, creating 2500 ihp. This gave the vessels a maximum speed of 11 kn. The vessels had a complement of 270.

While in British service the vessel was armed with sixteen single-mounted Oerlikon 20 mm cannons. Upon conversion to a mobile repair ship, the vessels were equipped with landing pads for Sikorsky H04S helicopters situated aft. A decompression chamber was installed and shops for multiple trades such as engineering, diesel engine repair, sheet metal welding, coppersmith and electronic repair among others were created within the ship. The vessels were also equipped with an eight-berth hospital, sick bay, X-ray room, medical lab, dental clinic and lab.

Construction and career
Flamborough Head (pennant F88) was laid down on 5 July 1944 by Burrard Dry Dock in Vancouver, British Columbia and launched on 7 October 1944. She was completed on 2 May 1945. Flamborough Head finished the Second World War in service with the Royal Navy and continued into the postwar period until 1952, when she was transferred to Canada.

Service with Canada
Flamborough Head was transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy in 1952. She was officially renamed and recommissioned Cape Breton on 31 January 1953. Cape Breton was assigned to the Atlantic Fleet and homeported at Halifax, Nova Scotia until 25 August 1958 as a repair and training ship. She had been acquired in an effort to expand the range of the fleet and to sustain operations against Soviet submarines deploying west. In 1958 she sailed to Esquimalt, British Columbia where she was converted to an escort maintenance ship, she was recommissioned on 16 November 1959. The conversion involved installing engineering and electrical workshops and the fitting of a helicopter landing platform. Sea trials were performed in Magdalena Bay, Mexico in February 1960, returning to Canada in March after visiting San Diego.

On 10 February 1964, Cape Breton was paid off into the reserve. This was due to efforts to cut costs. From there on, the vessel served as a towed support facility and accommodation vessel at Esquimalt under the designation Maintenance Group (Pacific). In 1993, she was replaced by a shore building. She was sold to the Artificial Reef Society of British Columbia (ARSBC) for use as an artificial reef.

Fate
Except for a short section of the stern and her engines, the ship was sunk in the waters of British Columbia on 20 October 2001 by the ARSBC after extensive cleaning to meet Environment Canada requirements. The ship now lies near Snake Island in Nanaimo harbour for use as a scuba diving site. Cape Breton sank upright to a depth of 145 ft. Her crow's nest reaches up to 40 ft below the surface, the main deck lies at 100 ft.

The stern was donated to the city of North Vancouver, British Columbia by the Artificial Reef Society. They placed it on display on the waterfront in 2001 with the plan to eventually develop the area into a maritime museum. However, those plans fell through in 2007 from lack of support. On 9 September 2013, the city council voted to dispose of the stern as the cradle upon which it was resting began to near the end of its life, and it was dismantled.

The Christening Bells Project at Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt (CFB Esquimalt) Naval and Military Museum includes information from the ship's bell of HMCS Cape Breton, which was used for baptism of babies on board ship from 1959–1971. The bell is currently held by the CFB Esquimalt Naval & Military Museum, Esquimalt, British Columbia.

Fleet Maintenance Facility Cape Breton was formed in 1996 at CFB Esquimalt from the amalgamation of three shore-based units: Ship Repair Unit (Pacific), Naval Engineering Unit (Pacific), and Fleet Maintenance Group (Pacific). Fleet Maintenance Facility Cape Breton took its name from HMCS Cape Breton.

Half & Half

Half & Half is an American television sitcom created by Jeffrey Klarik and executive-produced by Yvette Lee Bowser through her Sister Lee Productions banner that aired on UPN from September 23, 2002, to May 15, 2006. It was co-produced by CBS Studios under one of its former aliases, Eye Productions, Inc.

Set in San Francisco, California, the show focuses on the lives of two paternal half-sisters in their early adulthood who were estranged throughout their childhood, and are finally developing a close relationship. The show was the second-most-watched on UPN's Monday night line-up (next to Girlfriends) and fourth overall on the network. The series was almost renewed for a fifth season by UPN's successor network, The CW, but due to several circumstances — including the network's contractual obligation to pick up Reba, the last-minute renewal of All of Us, and the pick-up of the Girlfriends spin-off The Game — the series was left off the network's autumn/fall 2006 schedule and canceled. The series has aired in reruns on Global TV in Canada, Trouble in the United Kingdom and in local syndication channels in the United States, including Bounce TV, TV One, Cleo TV, BET Her and Dabl.

The series is available to stream on Paramount+ and Amazon Prime Video.

Premise
The show's plot centers around the lives of half-sisters Mona and Dee Dee Thorne, who slowly become friends when they move into the same San Francisco apartment building. Mona is the daughter of Phyllis Thorne, Charles Thorne's first wife, and Dee Dee is Charles' daughter from his second marriage to Deirdre "Big Dee Dee" Thorne. Initially, Mona resents Dee Dee because Dee Dee grew up in a rich and privileged household, while Mona and her mother struggled financially. As adults, Mona is more street smart and cynical, but prone to impulsive decisions while Dee Dee is charming and optimistic, but naïve at times. Throughout the series, the sisters confront their past resentments and learn to lean on each other as they navigate their problems in work, love, and family.

Main

 * Rachel True as Mona Rose Thorne. The elder of the two sisters and daughter of Phyllis Thorne and Charles Thorne. Mona was primarily raised by Phyllis and grew up resenting Dee Dee for having their father's attention and growing up in a privileged household. As the series progresses, the two become closer and Mona enjoys her role as Dee Dee's big sister. She is cynical, insecure, and prone to impulsive decisions.
 * Essence Atkins as Deirdre Chantal "Dee Dee" Thorne, Esq. The younger of the two sisters and daughter of Big Dee Dee LaFontaine Thorne and Charles Thorne. She grew up to be a bossy, materialistic, fashion-savvy woman like her mother, but slowly matures to become a more well-rounded individual under Mona's influence. Throughout the series, she studies at law school and eventually becomes a sports agent.
 * Telma Hopkins as Phyllis Thorne. The mother of Mona Thorne and the ex-wife of Charles Thorne. She is loving but overbearing. Being a psychiatrist, she is prone to meddling in Mona's life and often gives advice to Mona and her friends. She has a contentious relationship with Big Dee Dee and initially thinks the worst of Dee Dee as well. As the series progresses, she serves as mother figure for Dee Dee and occasionally gets along with Big Dee Dee.
 * Valarie Pettiford as Deirdre "Big Dee Dee" LaFontaine Thorne. The mother of Dee Dee Thorne and Drew Christian Thorne and the current wife of Charles Thorne. She is a superficial fashionista, who can be controlling and prone to dramatics.

Talk:Soviet order of battle for invasion of Poland in 1939

"less resistance"
As per: Polish September Campaign
 * Polish border defence forces (Korpus Ochrony Pogranicza) in the east (about 25 battalions) were unable to defend the border, and Edward Rydz-Śmigly further ordered them to fall back and not engage the Soviets. This, however, did not prevent some clashes and small battles.

That above seems correct to me. OTOH, the Soviet order of battle for invasion of Poland in 1939 article says:
 * " Joining battle after the Germans had already launched their attacks, the Soviets met less resistance"

From what a heavy resistance the Germans met, saying simply "less" here, seems misleading. Germans were fiercely fought. From what's in the article, the Soviets were little fought at that time, if at all. I will change "less" for "little". I don't want to touch any raw nerves. Please respond if disagreed. Don't just revert. --Irpen 03:49, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

-- does anyone know why the western allies did not declare war on the USSR after they invaded Poland? Was the pact between France-UK-Poland to defend Poland per se or was it solely aimed at Germany?
 * Please make yourself clear. What allies? You mean US&UK? And when did they invade Poland? And why did they suppose to attack USSR to defend Poland? If I recall correctly there weren't any conflicts among Poland and SU after 1939 and definitely no "allies" able to help Poland at that time anyway... By the way Poland was liberated from Nazi by SU...Dreambringer 12:11, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Dreambringer, you need to check your history. Poland was split in half between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. Russia DID invade Poland. As for 'liberating' Poland....well, you could argue forever over that.

naive set theory
Cantor never formalized his set theory, but there is pretty good evidence that his system was not vulnerable to the paradoxes. Frege explicitly formalized a system equivalent to naive set theory, and it is exactly his system for which Russell developed his paradox. Randall Holmes 02:54, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I will take a look at the naive set theory article (eventually). Randall Holmes 22:09, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Min, just happened to stumble across your remarks to Randall. Actually I was the one who reverted you, not Randall. Right, Cantor was the creator of set theory, but the point is that the paradoxes weren't necessarily Cantor's fault; they may have been the fault of Frege's misinterpretation of Cantor. You're right about the conflict with the naive set theory article, which is in pretty bad shape; see Talk:Naive set theory there for my plan to fix things (it involves fixes in at least four articles, so I haven't gotten to it yet). --Trovatore 05:12, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:The ABC of Sex Education for Trainables

Fair use rationale for Image:Trainables2.jpg
Image:Trainables2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Distinctive unit insignia

A distinctive unit insignia (DUI) is a metallic heraldic badge or device worn by soldiers in the United States Army. The DUI design is derived from the coat of arms authorized for a unit. DUIs may also be called "distinctive insignia" (DI) or, imprecisely, a "crest" or a "unit crest" by soldiers or collectors. The U.S. Army Institute of Heraldry is responsible for the design, development and authorization of all DUIs.

Pre-World War I Insignia
Distinctive ornamentation of a design desired by the organization was authorized for wear on the Mess Jacket uniform by designated organizations (staff corps, departments, corps of artillery, and infantry and cavalry regiments) per War Department General Order 132 dated December 31, 1902. The distinctive ornamentation was described later as coats of arms, pins and devices. The authority continued until omitted in the Army uniform regulation dated December 26, 1911.

Distinctive unit insignia
War Department Circular 161 dated 29 April 1920 authorized the use of a regimental coat of arms or badge as approved by the War Department for wear on the collar of the white uniform and the lapels of the mess jacket. War Department Circular 244, 1921 states: "It has been approved, in principle, that regiments of the Regular Army and National Guard may wear distinctive badges or trimmings on their uniforms as a means of promoting esprit de corps and keeping alive historical traditions. Various organizations which carry colors or standards have generally submitted coats of arms having certain historical significance. As fast as they are approved, these coats of arms will form the basis for regimental colors or standards which will eventually replace the present regimental colors or standards when these wear out. The use of these coats of arms as collar ornaments in lieu of the insignia of corps, departments, or arms of service would be an example of distinctive badge to be worn by the regiment." `The first unit to wear this insignia was the 51st Artillery which received approval for wear on March 18, 1922. It was designed by Master Gunner and Master Sergeant Edward C. Kuhn, the artist responsible for creating all authorized coats of arms and distinctive unit insignia at the time.

Present
Up until 1965, only regiments and separate battalions were authorized a coat of arms and distinctive units insignia. Now all major commands, field hospitals, corps, logistics commands and certain other units – groups, for example – are authorized distinctive unit insignia.

Design
The unit commanding officer requests approval of a distinctive unit insignia. A check is made by the Institute of Heraldry to determine the availability of a current copy of the lineage and honor statement and/or history for the unit. If it is not available, one is requested from the United States Army Center of Military History. The unit's history is reviewed to determine if the unit may inherit a previously approved distinctive unit insignia or if a new design should be made.

If a new design is to be made, careful study is made of the history and battle honors of the unit. The most important decorations, honors, combat service and missions are represented in the design of the insignia. Sometimes two centuries of history are condensed into symbolism for one distinctive unit insignia. A proposed design is created and sent to the commanding officer for review and concurrence. Upon concurrence by the unit commander an official letter of approval of the distinctive unit insignia is sent to the unit.

Manufacturing drawings and specifications are sent to a certified manufacturer which provides samples of the finished distinctive unit insignia to the Institute of Heraldry for approval. Once approved the manufacturer may produce this insignia. Each manufacturer has an identifying hallmark assigned by the Institute of Heraldry which is applied to the back of the insignia.

The shield shape design is used to identify color bearing organizations (for example, regiments and battalions). Other design patterns will be used for non-color bearing units. The design is based on war service, assignment or accomplishments. Cartoon characters or logos are not authorized as design elements. Symbols are to represent mission rather than actual equipment as equipment becomes out-of-date. Unit designations, numerals, letters, geographical outlines, reproductions of other insignia will not be included as part of the design.

Once a distinctive unit insignia is approved, it is changed only when a heraldic or historical error is found. A modification of unit designation or mission does not permit a change to the DUI design. As a result, DUIs tend to further reflect the historic roots of a unit. For example, many older Military Intelligence battalions' DUIs feature teal blue rather than oriental blue, having been designed for Army Security Agency units which were designated as branch-immaterial. Likewise, those that began as Signals units typically feature orange. The 211th Military Police Battalion provides an example of a unit changing branches without changing insignia, having been assigned to six different branches during its existence. Color-bearing battalions and regiments continue to have insignia without the shield shape if they were formerly non-color-bearing units when the insignia was approved; this includes not only former groups and brigades that were downsized, but as well flexible battalions (i.e., battalions composed of variable attached numbered companies, rather than fixed-TOE battalions composed of lettered companies which are organic to the battalion) which gained coats of arms and thus colors in the late 1990s, long after their DUIs were already approved.

Authorization
Distinctive unit insignia (DUI) of a design approved by The Institute of Heraldry, U.S. Army, are authorized under Paragraph 28-22 of Army Regulation 670–1.

Wear
The distinctive unit insignia of the unit to which the soldier is assigned are worn as follows: When a DUI is authorized, all personnel assigned to the organization wear the insignia, except general officers, the Sergeant Major of the Army and the Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman. General officers wear their regimental distinctive insignia (RDI) on the black pullover sweater. The Sergeant Major of the Army and Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman (if a soldier) wear, respectively, the SMA and SEAC collar insignia in lieu of the DUI on their pullover sweaters and berets, but their epaulets are bare.
 * On the beret flash of enlisted personnel
 * On the breast patch of the black pullover sweater
 * On the shoulder loops of the enlisted personnel's Army Service Uniform jacket (when not worn in dress configuration) centered on the shoulder loops an equal distance from the outside shoulder seam to the outside edge of the button, with the base of the insignia toward the outside shoulder seam.
 * Above the nameplate on the Class A and Class B service uniforms, when the DUI is worn in lieu of a regimental distinctive insignia (RDI). At the soldier's option the RDI, the DUI of their current assignment or the DUI of a previous assignment may be worn above the nameplate. If worn, the RDI for whole branch regiments (MP, Signal, Quartermaster) must be that of the soldier's current career field.

Units not listed in AR 670-1 (other than USAG) may request a DUI be authorized if the unit has at least 500 military assigned (250 for Department of the Army operating agencies). The Army element of joint commands may be authorized a DUI if the Army element has at least 500 Army personnel.

My Date with a Vampire

My Date with a Vampire is a 1998 Hong Kong television series produced by Asia Television (ATV). The story is based on the future events of the plot of Vampire Expert, a similar two-season television drama aired on ATV in 1995 and 1996. It blends aspects of the "hopping" corpses of jiangshi fiction with those of western vampires, along with elements of Chinese mythology and modern horror legends. The series is a tribute to Lam Ching-ying, the lead actor of Vampire Expert and a prominent cast member of the Mr. Vampire franchise, who died of liver cancer in 1997. It was followed by My Date with a Vampire II (2000) and My Date with a Vampire III (2004).

Plot
Fong Kwok-wah was a Chinese guerrilla fighter during the Second Sino-Japanese War. In 1938, he was duelling with Yamamoto Kazuo, a major of the Imperial Japanese Army, when they were interrupted by Cheung-San, the progenitor of all vampires. The two men and Fuk-sang, a boy who was hiding nearby, were bitten by Cheung-San and they became vampires.

In the present-day (1998), Fong has changed his name to Fong Tin-yau and now lives in Hong Kong, where he works as a policeman. Fuk-sang lives with him, pretends to be his son, and attends primary school. During this time, Fong meets Ma Siu-ling, the heiress to a clan of sorcerers dedicated to ridding the world of evil supernatural beings. He gradually becomes embroiled in a love triangle with her and Wong Jan-jan, her close friend and confidante.

Meanwhile, Yamamoto has become the influential boss of a big company in Hong Kong and has a small group of vampire followers under his command. Planning to turn every human into a vampire, Yamamoto unleashes his minions to attack people and spread the "vampire gene". Chaos break out in Hong Kong as vampires multiply and roam the streets freely. Fong teams up with Ma and their allies to stop Yamamoto and manage to destroy him. However, a sorcerer called Rahu later resurrects Yamamoto and controls him to do his bidding, preparing to carry out a ritual during a blood moon to dominate the universe. Once again, Fong, Ma and their allies combine forces to confront Rahu and put an end to his evil plan.

Vampires
The vampires depicted in the My Date with a Vampire trilogy incorporate elements from the Chinese jiangshi and the western vampire. They are beings that do not belong to the Trailokya or any of the Six Paths in Buddhist cosmology. They do not age and need to regularly feed on blood to sustain themselves. They may also possess powers such as superhuman speed or the ability to shapeshift, in addition to their immortal status. Their powers and invulnerability to sunlight, religious symbols and other things that typical vampires fear, however, become weaker as the generation gap between them and Cheung-San (the progenitor of all vampires) increases. An example to illustrate this concept of "generation" is as follows: Person A, who became a vampire after being bitten by Cheung-San himself, is known as a second-generation vampire. Person B, who became a vampire after being bitten by Person A or another direct victim of Cheung-San, is a third-generation vampire, and so on.

At the end of the second season, it is revealed that Pangu, the creator of the universe in Chinese mythology, is not a single entity, but a clan of divine beings who are all first-generation vampires. Unlike others, these vampires do not need to feed on blood to survive. It is hinted that Cheung-San is a member of the Pangu clan. In the third season, two important Chinese mythological figures, Fuxi and Yaochi Shengmu, are first-generation vampires.

Starting in the second season, a vampire's generation or type can be identified by his/her eye colour when he/she goes into "vampire mode".

Production
The script for My Date with a Vampire was written by Leung Lap-yan in 1997. Leung attempted to market the script to Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) but was rejected, so he went to Asia Television (ATV) instead. Chan Sap-sam, who wrote the script for the two sequels, revealed that Lam Ching-ying, a prominent cast member in the Mr. Vampire franchise, was their original choice for the lead actor, and that Joey Meng did not have a place in their initial cast list. However, after they finalised the script, they were unable to contact Lam, who was critically ill. Besides, ATV's top management was not pleased with the script because they felt that it did not fit people's impressions of how vampires should be like. ATV's top management wanted to cancel the project after Lam died of liver cancer in 1997. Faced with these problems, Chan decided to make bold changes to the script and create a new character – Ma Siu-ling, a female ghostbuster wearing high heels and a miniskirt who is greedy for money. Sin Chi-wai, the producer for the series, recommended Joey Meng to play Ma Siu-ling. When Eric Wan was offered to play the male lead character in the series, he wanted to turn down the offer because he felt exhausted, but eventually agreed as he became more interested in the story.

Future development
According to Netease Report, Fox Networks Group will remake the series. Cora Yim, the head of Fox Networks Group Asia, claimed that one-third of ATV's inventory had been acquired by Fox Networks Group, including 28 television series; My Date with a Vampire is one of the 28.

McFatter Technical College and Technical High School

William T. McFatter Technical College and High School is a public adult technical college that also includes a magnet high school. The campus is located in Davie, Florida and is part of the Broward County Public Schools district.

Adult enrollment is approximately 1000 students. The magnet high school maintains an average of 600 pupils in the school at one time, about 150 students per grade. These students are picked out of a lottery after they have met the requirements to get into the school. Certain requirements include a GPA of at least 2.5 and an FSA and EOC score of a Level 3 or higher.

History
McFatter Technical College and High School originally opened in 1985 as a vocational center for adults, known at the time as William T. McFatter Vocational-Technical Center. The campus is part of the South Florida Education Center in Davie, Florida which consists of Broward College, Florida Atlantic University, Nova Southeastern University, and the University of Florida. In 1998, the campus added a magnet high school which focused on college preparation and technical training. In 2002, William T. McFatter Technical High School was honored as Florida's model high school. It was also named a New Millennium High School, being only one of twenty in the state of Florida. The high school has received an "A" grade from the State of Florida continuously since 2002. In 2009 the high school has recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. The Blue Ribbon Schools Program honors public and private schools based on one of two criteria: 1) Schools whose students, regardless of background, achieve in the top 10 percent of their state on state tests or in the case of private schools in the top 10 percent of the nation on nationally normed tests; and 2) Schools with at least 40 percent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds that demonstrate dramatic improvement of student performance to high levels on state tests or nationally normed tests. In June 2014, the name of the school changed to William T. McFatter Technical College and High School.

Operation
Adults take either a daily 5 or 6 hour hands-on technical program which gives them training to enter the workforce. They are taught by professionals in their respective fields. In the high school, for their freshman and sophomore years, students are required to take a "Tech Studies" course, in which they explore the aspects of all the technical programs that the college has to offer. With the end of their sophomore year, students are required to choose their technical program for the rest of their high school years. All students take honor classes or classes on higher levels, and many take Advanced Placement courses. Adult hours range between 7:30am and 2:30pm, with some evening and/or Saturday classes, as well. The high school operates from 9:15am to 4:10pm. Students that use school buses as transportation home must take a shuttle bus to Nova High School, where they then get on their buses. There are many clubs and organizations for students to participate.

High school
There is currently one main high school building for academic classes. Because the campus does not have any sports teams, Physical Education and Health Management classes are required to be taken as a freshman and sophomore. The school symbol is a Storm, represented by a storm design. The first high school class to graduate from McFatter was in 2002.

Demographics
As of the 2021-22 school year, the total student enrollment was 591. The ethnic makeup of the school was 65.3% White, 19.8% Black, 45.9% Hispanic, 9.3% Asian, 4.2% Multiracial, 0.8% Native American or Native Alaskan, and 0.5% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. Note that the adult enrollment in this school is not reflected in the total student enrollment number.

Yogi Rock

Yogi Rock is a rock on Mars that was discovered during the Mars Pathfinder mission in 1997,  and named by Geoffrey A. Landis. The rocks found on the mission were named after famous icons and figures, and Yogi Rock was thought to resemble the head of a bear looking away from the spacecraft. As a result, it was named for the famed cartoon character Yogi Bear.

The rock was the first on Mars found to be made of basalt, which suggests previous volcanic activity in the region as basalt is an igneous rock. The smoothness of the surface also suggested the past existence of water in the region. Yogi was also the first large rock reached by the Sojourner rover and was analyzed by an alpha proton X-ray spectrometer to determine its composition.

Images of Sojourner approaching Yogi used in the opening credits of Star Trek: Enterprise made that television program the first science fiction television or film production to use footage taken on another planet.

Talk:Nissan VQ engine

Ward 2009 List
The claim that the VQ has made Ward's 10 best engines list since its inception is not true anymore. this statement should be revised to acknowledge the VQ's absence from the 2009 list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.96.2.82 (talk) 16:32, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Power output numbers need cleaning
Why are some of the engines listed with both HP and PS, some with NM, and some with just PS? This article needs the power outputs to be listed in a consistent manner, preferable with both HP and PS, as well as NM and FT/LBS listed.

For example VQ23DE It must mean 173PS. 173PS are 170HPs. I have write a few of this things. I have take it from Japanese sources, because they have PS. And if we write HP or PS in clips, where can we write the KWs? Or we write in the introduction: “Achievements are indicated in HP (NET)” or so similarly.

New V6
There are two new engines. VQ25HR and VQ35HR. (SULEV) First use in the G35/Skyline. In autumn 2006...More can i not say.

Malaysia Road Tax
If you drive a car with this engine in Malaysia, your roadtax will set you off a cool US$1100 a year!

Could we rephrase this to make it sound more... I dunno, encylopedic? Otherwise, let's erase it.--Raguleader 05:38, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Possibilities
There are so many Possibilities Nissan can do with the VQs. They can make a LPG, natural gas or an diesel version. And when comes VEL (in this engines)? :) And how many PS are possible with the new "strong-block"? :D —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.164.214.81 (talk) 01:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC).

Incorrect description of Gasoline Direct Injection
"replace MPFI with direct fuel injection (marketed as NEO-Di)." - linking to Gasoline Direct Fuel Injection. I believe this to be wrong, Neo-DI is diesel injection, not gasoline. Diesel direct injection is quite common, gasoline direct injection is not. July 15, 2009 Nissan announced a dual injector system which they claim delivers similar benefits to direct injection for gasoline engines without the same cost. I do not believe Nissan has ever deployed gasoline direct injection in a production engine? 150.101.157.146 (talk) 06:45, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

 * NEO-Di can refer to either direct-injected gasoline or diesel engines. References to it are hard to find but here is one: and here Nissan talks about NEO-Di direct-injected gasoline engines near the bottom . VectorD (talk) 08:45, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

VQ40DE a "variant" of VQ35DE?
The VQ40DE is not a variant of the VQ35DE. The Block, Crank, Rods, Pistons, Heads, Cams, Intake are all different.

To say that the VQ40DE just has a longer stroke is not correct, as the engine is very much different. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.108.226.189 (talk) 01:35, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

VQ a Renault engine?
According to Top Gear Season 2, this is actually a Renault engine. Or at least 350Zs sold in the UK had Renault engines instead of VQ engines. Are they right or on crack?

EDIT: never mind, what they said is "[the engine is] French, from the Renault Vel Satis". This typical TG exaggeration for effect, since the Renault Vel Satis simply uses a Nissan engine. But that didn't fit the theme they wanted, that the 350Z was a strange international blend of a car. Either that or they were just totally wrong.
