Ashura article
Salam. Maybe you are right so I wanted one of my Sunni friend ("User:Alm") who told me Sunnis mourn for Husayn but in different way to write his POV.--Sa.vakilian 03:26, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Zionism has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Fatima Bhyat
A tag has been placed on Fatima Bhyat requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. SpitfireTally-ho! 15:36, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Hyperlinks
I revised your new addition biomedical informatics. When linking to Wikipedia articles, it is preferred to use internal links. Instead of bracketing the whole URL, you simply put the name of the article you are linking to in two square brackets, like this Wikipedia. This displays as Wikipedia.

Please drop me a line if you have further questions. JFW | T@lk  11:08, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

 * From your contributions I gather you're in India and working in the medical field. Would you be interested to join WikiProject Clinical medicine? JFW | T@lk  10:59, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Wikilinks
Hi Supten, actually, when wikilinking to another article, there is no need to use underscores ( _ ). For example Bengali Cinema and Bengali_Cinema both are the same link, but wikipedia style is to use the spaces ... not the underscores. As a Bengali from Bangladesh, I welcome youn to Wikipedia. There are many articles on Bengal as a whole that need to be expanded or created. We need more Bengali people working on it. I was saddened to find out Uttam Kumar only had a stub state article.... we should work on it!!!. Thanks. --Ragib 09:47, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I have been nominated for Wikipedia Admin-ship ... I'd be delighted if you participated in the vote at Requests for adminship/Ragib. Thanks a lot. --Ragib 19:10, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Supten, thanks for voting on my RfA. Regarding your edits in Salil Chowdhury, I have a question ... is his name spelt Salil or Saleel ("dirgho-ee or hrosso-ee")? Also what is the spelling used in English? --Ragib 06:23, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

stubs
I saw that you had inserted a Bengal-stub in Shashanka. I agree that Shashanka and much of History of Bengal before British rule should have Bengal-stub instead of India-stub or Bangladesh-stub. I'll try to set up the Bengal stub soon. Thanks. --Ragib 06:47, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Supten, I'd like to ask you for a favor, the Bangladesh Liberation War is a big event for Bengalis on both sides of the divide, and certainly, it was a huge event for the Bengalis in West Bengal who hosted the refugees and helped otherwise. Right now, there is a disputed claim by Sarmila Bose that the massacre of 1 million Bengalis never happened, and some users are using it to deny the genocide in the Bangladesh Liberation War (one edit marks the number of dead as 26,000!!!). So, can you look up some book references from India on that? My university library has a few books on that war, and I added the references already (like the book from Anthony Mascarenhas). Any help would be much appreciated. I think a lot of book were published in India at that time. Let me know if you find anything. Thanks a lot in advance. --Ragib 05:34, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Dear Ragib,

From the Net I found the following:

1. http://www.discoverybangladesh.com/history.html (3 million people killed)

2. http://www.bangla2000.com/Bangladesh/war.shtm (The Pakistani army massacred 35,000 Bengali intellectuals and unleashed a brutal war against the Bangalees of East Pakistan to prevent their secession. But no one let the dream encircled flag fall down to dust . During the nine month struggle which ensued an estimated three million Bengalis died and and ten million refuges fled into India Sheikh Mujib was imprisoned in west Pakistan.)

3. http://www.virtualbangladesh.com/history/holocaust.html (An excellent account of the various global newspapers reporting the incident)

The third source looks to be quite exhaustive. Supten 08:33, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Style manual comments
Hello. Some of your recent edits prompt these tips:

 * In External links and See also, etc., don't capitalize every initial letter; see Manual of Style on section headings.

 * Don't capitalize the initial letter of a word merely because it's the bolded article title. Thus, if the title is dog, and it begins with "A dog is an animal that barks...", the initial d in dog should be in lower case, not capital.

 * Don't capitalize the initial letter of a word merely because it's the first letter of a link. The first letter of a link, unlike the later letters, is case-insensitive.

 * Put only one blank line between paragraphs or sections. Putting in more than one merely moves the paragraphs farther apart.

Image copyright problem with Image:Sns-7.7.05.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sns-7.7.05.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Dethomas 01:33, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Complex wavelet transform
Hi, I noticed that you wrote/started the article on Complex wavelet transform and tagged it for the Computer vision category. I guess that there os some relation between the complex wavelet transform and computer vison, but this is not really explained in the article. Can you please add some text to describe this relation? --KYN 21:40, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

 * The papers mentioned in the external links in the complex wavelet transform refer to some uses in computer vision. Supten 08:34, 13 May 2006 (UTC) (Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:KYN")

OK, I see. I would like to see this relation between CWT and CV is presented in a more explicit way instead of relying on the reader of the CWT article to also read the external links in order to find out way it is listed in the CV category. It is possible that you either write one or two lines of text in the article which breifly describe the relation or, at the minimum, make a comment for those links which present this relations? --KYN 21:17, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

welcome back
Hey Supten, welcome back after a whole month!! Hope everything is fine.

Now that you are here, can you join us in the Bangla wikipedia too (http://bn.wikipedia.org )? Recently, some very good and easy to use tools for Bangla typing have come up (Avro from here is a good one). Basically you use phonetic typing ... for example, to write your name, you'd have to do s-u-p-t-e-n which will yield সুপ্তেন (if you can't see this, then you need a Bangla unicode font, you can get one from here or from Avro's site.

Please join us there ... we need more people from West Bengal. We've got up to 1500 articles now, but need a lot more. Let me know if you need any help in Bangla typing or rendering (you need to change a setting in winxp, Avro's installer takes care of that during installation). Thanks. --Ragib 09:07, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Supten, just wanted to let you know that we have got 3400 articles there ... so please have a look. Thanks. --Ragib 07:39, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:SKG.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:SKG.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

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

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. - SCEhard T 22:27, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Damodaran M. Vasudevan
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Damodaran M. Vasudevan, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

File permission problem with File:Damodaran M. Vasudevan.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Damodaran M. Vasudevan.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add permission pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Albert and David Maysles

Albert Maysles (November 26, 1926 – March 5, 2015) and his brother David Maysles (January 10, 1931 – January 3, 1987; ) were an American documentary filmmaking team known for their work in the Direct Cinema style. Their best-known films include Salesman (1969), Gimme Shelter (1970) and Grey Gardens (1975).

Early lives
The brothers were born in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, living there until the family moved to Brookline, Massachusetts when Albert was 13. Albert and David's parents, both Jewish, were immigrants to the United States; their father, born in Ukraine, was employed as a postal clerk, while their mother, originally from Poland, was a schoolteacher. The family originally settled in Dorchester to be near relatives (the brothers' great-uncle Josef Maysles and his daughter and son-in-law, Becky and Joe Kandib) who had moved there earlier.

Albert originally pursued a career as a psychology professor and researcher. After serving in the U.S. Army Tank Corps during World War II, Albert obtained a BA from Syracuse University and MA in psychology from Boston University. He taught psychology at Boston University for three years, also working as a research assistant at a mental hospital and as head of a research project at Massachusetts General Hospital. As an outgrowth of his research work, he traveled to Russia to photograph a mental hospital, and returned the following year with a camera provided by CBS to film his first documentary, Psychiatry in Russia (1955). Although CBS did not air the film, it was televised on NBC, on the public broadcasting station WGBH-TV in Boston, and on Canadian network television.

David also studied psychology at Boston University, receiving a BA. Also like his brother, David served in the U.S. Army and was stationed in West Germany during the Korean War. In the mid-1950s, he worked as a Hollywood production assistant on the Marilyn Monroe films Bus Stop and The Prince and the Showgirl. David later stated that he grew "disenchanted with conventional filming. The glamour had faded and the filming of take after take had become tedious." By 1957 he had teamed up with Albert to shoot two documentaries behind the Iron Curtain, Russian Close-Up (credited to Albert Maysles alone) and Youth in Poland, the latter of which was broadcast on NBC.

By 1960, the Maysles brothers had joined Drew Associates, the documentary film company founded by photojournalist Robert Drew which also included Richard Leacock and D. A. Pennebaker. Albert would film, while David would handle sound. During this time, the brothers worked on Drew Associates films such as Primary and Adventures on the New Frontier. In 1962, Albert and David left Drew Associates to form their own production company, Maysles Films, Inc.

Maysles brothers' collaborative years
The Maysles brothers made over 30 films together. They are best known for three documentaries made in the late 1960s and early 1970s: Salesman (1969), Gimme Shelter (1970), and Grey Gardens (1975). Salesman documents the work of a group of door-to-door Bible salesmen in New England and Florida. Deeper down, the film is a dissection of the degenerative and devastating effects of capitalism on small towns and individuals, but more than any political statement the film is about normal people in all their ugliness and truthfulness. Gimme Shelter, a film about The Rolling Stones' 1969 U.S. tour culminating in the disastrous Altamont Free Concert, unexpectedly captured on film the altercation between Altamont attendee Meredith Hunter and Hells Angel Alan Passaro that resulted in Hunter's death. Film footage shows Hunter drawing and pointing a revolver just before being stabbed by Passaro, who was later acquitted of Hunter's murder on self-defense grounds after the jury viewed the footage. Grey Gardens depicts the lives of a reclusive upper-class mother and daughter, "Big Edie" and "Little Edie" Beale (who were, respectively, the aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis), residing in a derelict mansion in East Hampton, New York. In order to finance these films and others, the Maysleses also made commercials for clients such as IBM, Shell Oil, and Merrill Lynch.

The Maysleses' films are considered examples of the style known as direct cinema. The brothers would let the story unfold as the camera rolled, rather than planning what exactly they wanted to shoot, in keeping with Albert Maysles' stated approach, "Remember, as a documentarian you are an observer, an author but not a director, a discoverer, not a controller." However, the brothers also received criticism from those who thought that they had actually planned or otherwise influenced scenes. Most notably, Pauline Kael's negative review of the film Gimme Shelter in The New Yorker included a harsh accusation that much of Gimme Shelter and Salesman had been staged and that the main subject of Salesman, Paul Brennan, was not a Bible salesman as the film portrayed, but was actually a roofing-and-siding salesman recruited as a professional actor. The Maysles brothers threatened legal action against The New Yorker after this accusation. They also sent an open letter to The New Yorker refuting Kael's claims; however, because the magazine at the time did not publish letters, the letter did not appear in print until 1996. In the case of Grey Gardens, the brothers were also accused of unfairly exploiting their subjects.

Many of the Maysleses' documentaries focus on art, artists and musicians. The Maysleses documented The Beatles' first visit to the United States in 1964, and a 1965 conceptual art project by Yoko Ono called "Cut Piece" in which she sat on the stage of Carnegie Hall while audience members cut off her clothing with scissors. Several Maysles films document art projects by Christo and Jeanne-Claude over a three-decade period, from 1974 when Christo's Valley Curtain was nominated for an Academy Award, to 2005 when The Gates (started in 1979 and completed by Albert after David's death) headlined New York's Tribeca Film Festival. Other Maysles subjects include Marlon Brando, Truman Capote, Vladimir Horowitz, and Seiji Ozawa.

For many years, the Maysleses worked closely with film editor Charlotte Zwerin, who received a directing credit for her work on Gimme Shelter. Zwerin eventually stopped working with the Maysleses because, according to Zwerin, they would not let her produce.

Death of David Maysles
David Maysles, the younger brother, died of a stroke on January 3, 1987, seven days shy of his 56th birthday, in New York City. Following his death, Albert was involved in litigation with David's widow over the terms of a financial settlement. According to David's daughter Celia Maysles, this resulted in the family developing a "code of silence" regarding David. In 2007, Celia released a documentary about her father, Wild Blue Yonder, which included interviews with Albert.

Later life and death of Albert Maysles
After his brother's death, Albert Maysles continued to make films. His notable works include LaLee's Kin: The Legacy of Cotton (2001, co-directed with Deborah Dickson and Susan Froemke), which focused on the struggles of a poor African-American family living in the contemporary Mississippi Delta, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature; and The Love We Make (2011, co-directed with Bradley Kaplan) which documented Paul McCartney's experiences in New York City following the September 11, 2001 attacks, and premiered on Showtime on September 10, 2011, the eve of the tenth anniversary of the attacks.

Albert continued the series of documentaries begun with David about the public art of Christo and Jeanne-Claude. He also contributed cinematography to Leon Gast's Academy Award-winning documentary When We Were Kings, about the "Rumble in the Jungle" Muhammad Ali – George Foreman heavyweight championship boxing match. In 2005, Albert founded the Maysles Documentary Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the exhibition and production of documentary films that inspire dialogue and action, located in Harlem.

Albert died of pancreatic cancer at his home in Manhattan on March 5, 2015, aged 88. His films Iris, about fashion icon Iris Apfel, and In Transit, about the longest train route in the United States, were released posthumously later that year. At the time of his death, Albert had also been working on an autobiographical documentary Handheld and from the Heart.

Legacy and contribution to documentary cinema
By letting real-life action unfold on camera without interference from the crew, the Maysleses pioneered the "fly on the wall" perspective in documentary cinema. This perspective is typical with the genre of documentary known as Direct Cinema which they helped pioneer. This genre is similar to cinéma vérité. They broke tradition with mid-century documentary tropes by eschewing narration, inter-titles and extraneous music tracks. The editing process could be interpreted as their narrative "voice," depending on what footage and sound they chose to use and how the timeline of the story unfolded in the final cut.

Their success from a technical aspect was based in part on separating the camera from the sound recording device (David used a Nagra) by accurately controlling the speed of the camera and the tape recorder, allowing the two devices to be moved independently with respect to each other, an impossibility in commercially available equipment at the time. Long takes with ordinary equipment of the era would invariably lose synchronization.

Albert built his own 16 mm camera with existing parts that could be comfortably balanced on his shoulder, eliminating the need for a tripod, allowing him to shoot fluidly in the moment. He added a brace so he could hold the camera steady during long takes. He installed a mirror near the lens and a ring on the focus-pull and could then set the aperture and focus while the camera rolled, ensuring continuity during a take.

Albert claimed to have a form of attention deficit disorder that made the leisurely pace of editing difficult for him but benefited him while shooting. Stating that his in-the-moment ability to focus let him, "Zero in on a situation as it's happening [with his camera] and pay much closer attention and somehow anticipate what's going to happen the next moment, be ready for it and get it, the way people with normal attention spans are incapable of doing."

The Maysles brothers' films Salesman and Grey Gardens have been preserved in the Library of Congress' National Film Registry as being culturally, historically or aesthetically significant. In May 2002, Ralph Blumenthal in The New York Times referred to Albert as "the dean of documentary film making" and Jean-Luc Godard once called Albert "the best American cameraman". The moving image collection of Albert and David Maysles is held at the Academy Film Archive. The archive has preserved two of the Maysleses' films: Showman, in 2012, and Salesman, in 2018.

Awards
Their only Oscar nomination was for the 1973 short film Christo's Valley Curtain.

Albert was awarded a 2013 National Medal of Arts by President Barack Obama on July 28, 2014. He also won a Primetime Emmy for 1991's Soldiers of Music.

David won a Primetime Emmy for 1985's Vladimir Horowitz: The Last Romantic alongside Albert.

A dramatized version of the Maysles brothers making the Beales documentary appeared in the 2009 HBO film Grey Gardens; actor Arye Gross portrayed Albert and Justin Louis portrayed David.

In 2015 the IFC mockumentary series Documentary Now! paid homage to Grey Gardens with the episode "Sandy Passage" which follows two women named "Big Vivvy" and "Little Vivvy" and takes "An in depth look at the daily lives of two aging socialites and their crumbling estate." The 2016 episode "Globesman", about globe salesmen in the 1960s, is inspired by Salesman.

Episode 3 of the 2024 TV series Feud: Capote vs. The Swans recounts the filming of Truman Capote's 1966 Black and White Ball by the Maysles brothers, which was released as the short film With Love from Truman. Pawel Szajda played Albert and Yuval David played David.

Mika Bomb

Mika Bomb (sometimes spelled Mikabomb) is a London-based, Japanese pop punk band.

History
Lead singer Mika Handa arrived in London in 1998, with the goal of playing in a punk band. Recruitment for the band began with the arrival in London of the guitarist Agi (Chinese: 龙宽 Long Kuan), who later gained broad fame in the electronic duo 龙宽九段 Longkuan Jiuduan. Another Mika (Mika Kanayama) on bass introduced an element of musicality to the bass department while a North London boy, Ergi, provided the drums. Mika has a husband and a daughter, Amy, and Ergi has a wife and two daughters.

In 2000, they signed with the Beastie Boys' label Grand Royal. Mika Bomb performed in the West Country plugging their singles "Super Sexy Razor Happy Girls" and "Heart Attack". They fused Motown, New York punk, 1950s garage rock and Japanese pop to form a distinctive, distortion-heavy pop sound.

2001 saw the release of their debut album The Fake Fake Sound of Mikabomb on the Damaged Goods label after Grand Royal went bust.

Through their career they have played with At the Drive-In, The Donnas, Snuff, Bis, The Datsuns, The D4, Ten Benson and Rosita.

In 2005, they released their second album, Hellcats, which featured a cover of Holly Golightly's "Won't Go Out", with Mika and Holly herself performing a duet on lead vocals.

On 10 December 2005, drummer Ergi fell ill and was rushed to hospital where he was diagnosed as having septicaemia. He survived a week-long, near-fatal coma, but had both his legs amputated below the knee. There were several fundraising events in 2006 to help Ergi cope with the changes in his life, the highlight being a benefit gig at The Garage, Highbury Corner, Islington, London on 15 May 2006.

After making appearance at Rock My Ass festival, Bamberg, Germany in September 2006, the band ceased recording or live activities. When it seemed to be totally over, they reformed in October 2010 for an exclusive show at Camara Japan festival, Rotterdam, Netherlands, then had more or less “once-a-year” reunion in 2011 and 2012. In 2013 more shows are planned in UK and Germany.

Band members
The current line-up is:
 * Mika Handa – lead singer
 * Mel Roxy – guitar
 * Emiko (Wataru Idol) – bass
 * Debbie – drums

Talk:Autovon

Untitled
Could somone add some dates to this article if they have them? Like when construction on the Autovon started, when it finished, when the military started using it, when they abandoned it, etc.?

Silver Box
Silver box redirects here. Shouldn't we include something about them? ;-) --67.172.99.160 00:31, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Anarchist eBook entry
From the Anarchist's eBook: Brodo 05:20, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Silver Box Plans                                by the Jolly Roger

Introduction:

First a bit of Phone Trivia. A standard telephone keypad has 12 buttons. These buttons, when pushed, produce a combination of two tones. These tones represent the row and column of the button you are pushing. 1  1   1            2   3   4            0   3   7            9   6   7     697   (1) (2) (3)     770   (4) (5) (6)     851   (7) (8) (9)     941   (*) (0) (#) So (1) produces a tone of 697+1209, (2) produces a tone of 697+1336, etc.

Function:

What the Silver Box does is just creates another column of buttons, with the new tone of 1633. These buttons are called A, B, C, and D.

Usefulness: --    Anyone who knows anything about phreaking should know that in the old days of phreaking, phreaks used hardware to have fun instead of other people's Sprint and MCI codes. The most famous (and useful) was the good ol' Blue Box. However, Ma Bell decided to fight back and now most phone systems have protections against tone-emitting boxes. This makes boxing just about futile in most areas of the United States (ie those areas with Crossbar or Step-By-Step). If you live in or near a good-sized city, then your phone system is probably up-to-date (ESS) and this box (and most others) will be useless. However, if you live in the middle of nowhere (no offense intended), you may find a use for this and other boxes.

Materials: -    1  Foot of Blue Wire 1 Foot of Grey Wire 1 Foot of Brown Wire 1 Small SPDT Switch (*) 1 Standard Ma Bell Phone (*) SPDT = Single Pole/Double Throw

Tools: -    1  Soldering Iron 1 Flat-Tip Screwdriver

Procedure: - (1) Loosen the two screws on the bottom of the phone and take the casing off. (2) Loosen the screws on the side of the keypad and remove the keypad from the mounting bracket. (3) Remove the plastic cover from the keypad. (4) Turn the keypad so that *0# is facing you. Turn the keypad over. You'll see a bunch of wires, contacts, two Black Coils, etc. (5) Look at the Coil on the left. It will have five (5) Solder Contacts facing you. Solder the Grey Wire to the fourth Contact Pole from the left. (6) Solder the other end of the Grey Wire to the Left Pole of the SPDT Switch. (7) Find the Three (3) Gold-Plated Contacts on the bottom edge of the keypad. On the Left Contact, gently seperate the two touching Connectors (they're soldered together) and spread them apart. (8) Solder the Brown Wire to the Contact farthest from you, and solder the other end to the Right Pole of the SPDT Switch. (9) Solder the Blue Wire to the Closest Contact, and the other end to the Center Pole of the SPDT Switch.››(10) Put the phone back together.

Using The Silver Box:

What you have just done was installed a switch that will change the 369# column into an ABCD column. For example, to dial a 'B', switch to Silver Box Tones and hit '6'. No-one is sure of the A, B, and C uses. However, in an area with an old phone system, the 'D' button has an interesting effect. Dial Directory Assistance and hold down 'D'. The phone will ring, and you should get a pulsing tone. If you get a pissed-off operator, you have a newer phone system with defenses against Silver Boxes. At the pulsing tone, dial a 6 or 7. These are loop ends.

-= Exodus =-

Other source
The Autovon used the 1633 Hz column of tones, a part of the DTMF standard set that rarely (never?) appears on consumer telephones. The silver box adds these tones to a regular telephone. I suppose it could in theory work on an Autovon network. If anyone has tried this they probably never came out to say whether it was successful or not.

In civilian networks these keys sometimes had special uses. Holding one of the keys while connecting to the operator would drop you into a special system. It sounds like it was mainly used by telco engineers to diagnose their networks, but that is just a guess and i would like to find out more.

The service that was provided is described in this article:

I found particularly interesting that military prioritization was all on good faith. They may have had strict regulations on what priority could be used for a type of call, but it was not enforced by the Autovon system. Presumably abuse could get a write-up if the culprit was caught.

1ESS
The switches were Number 1 Electronic Switching System (a computer), #1 ESS, of the 4-wire type when I was programming them in the late 1960s. Ma Bell cut the first #1 in 1961.

PointyHairedEE, 5-27-10

GTE and Independent Telcos
Several CONUS AutoVon sites used GTE Automatic Electric AutoVon switch systems. Some of these were are Topaz Lake, Nevada, Delta, Utah, Terre Haute, Indiana, and Fairview, Kansas.

The GTE switch had a mechanical three stage fully non-blocking network, call processing logic using Boolean logic implemented via multiple AND, NAND, OR, NOR, and FlipFlops on printed circuit cards with hard-wired backplane connections, and call routing data stored in static RAM. Call processing logic changes required backplane wiring changes. As an example, during the installation of the Fairview site in 1969 the third version of logic was implemented, meaning some card pins had three wires wrapped on that pin.

Digitization and Upgrade section
Don't take the information out on the new AUTOVON system. There is plenty more that could be said, if you do go taking this out then I will have to source more information to justify building a bigger page. It is best that this was kept short and accurate with the right amount of uncertainty in the right places. CompSciFutures (talk) 11:49, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Judy Mann

Judy Mann (December 24, 1943 in Washington, D.C. – July 8, 2005) was a correspondent for The Washington Post where she wrote about women, children, and the politics of the women's movement.

Biography
Mann spent her childhood in Paris and was able to speak fluent French before returning to the US to go to high school. She graduated from Washington-Lee High School in Arlington. While still in high school, Mann worked for the Northern Virginia Sun where she was an assistant teen editor. Mann later obtained her degree from Barnard College. During her time here, she joined a group of students who traveled to Cuba, disobeying federal law of the United States. In 1966, Mann worked as a sales representative for Avon products. From 1968 to 1972, she worked as a reporter and editor for the Washington Daily News.

Mann was known for her liberal and feminist outlook and writings. She truly wanted to expand women's rights, which is why she put so much passion into her writing on this subject.

Daska

Daska, is a city in the Punjab province of Pakistan. The city is the capital of Daska Tehsil, one of four tehsils of Sialkot District. It is the 50th largest city of Pakistan by population. It is 29th largest by population in Punjab.In Daska There Is Most Villages Like Wasankey Cheema, Adamkey Cheema, Mandranwala Sahi, Jaisarwala Sahi, Bharoky Kalan, Musewala etc. Daska is famous for its fertilizer related items and Agri related machinery.

17th-19th centuries
Daska was founded during the reign of Shah Jahan, and was initially named Shah Jahanabad, according to Mughal revenue records. It was later renamed Daska as it is das ("ten") koh (Mughal unit of distance) from Sialkot, Pasrur, Gujranwala, and Wazirabad. During the Afghan Durrani invasion of the 18th century, Daska was ruined, and its inhabitants were forced to seek shelter in the nearby mudfort of Kot Daska. Daska was later repopulated during the Sikh era. Daska was captured by Ranjit Singh in 1802 and made part of the Sikh Empire.

20th century
In 1929, Daska was the site of Hindu-Sikh riots when Akali Sikhs attempted to seize control of Gurdwara Sant Wayaram Singh. The local Hindu community claimed it was built to be a dharamsala.

In August 1947, 5,000 refugees from surrounding areas gathered at Daska Camp for two weeks before being escorted to the Indian border by the Pakistani Military.

Economy and Geography
Daska Tehsil was once the biggest tehsil in Pakistan, containing almost 400 villages.

There are a number of agricultural machinery manufacturers based in Daska. Being surrounded by big industrial cities such as Gujranwala and Sialkot, Daska has a very healthy employment rate. The urban area of Daska is no more than 3 km in length but it still manages to hold the title of an industrial city which contributes a lot to the national economy. Kashmiri, Rajput, Arain, and Malik tribes are prominent in the urban area and several Jatt & Rajput tribes are in the majority in rural areas. The Bambawali-Ravi-Bedian Canal flows through its centre which makes the surrounding area fertile and rich in crops.

The Least Worst Of

The Least Worst Of is a compilation album from Type O Negative. It contains previously released material alongside a number of unreleased tracks and remixes. The album is available in an edited variant and an unedited one (with a Parental Advisory label/logo). The photograph on the album cover is of the defunct Parachute jump at Coney Island, in Brooklyn, New York.

Consistent with many of the band's previous "joke tracks", the first track, "The Misinterpretation of Silence and Its Disastrous Consequences (Wombs and Tombs Mix)", like the original is completely silent (the only semblance of remixing being that the track is shorter; 39 seconds of silence instead of the original's 1:04). The compilation's title also acts as an example of their self-deprecating sense of humour, with the logic that silence can actually be considered some of their best work.

9K114 Shturm

9K114 Shturm (9К114 «Штурм») - is a SACLOS radio guided anti-tank missile system of the Soviet Union. Its GRAU designation is 9K114. Its NATO reporting name is AT-6 Spiral. The missile itself is known as the 9M114 Kokon (Cocoon).

Development
The missile called 9M114 Kokon (Cocoon) was developed by the Kolomna Machine Design Bureau, which was also responsible for the 3M6 Shmel and 9M14 Malyutka. Work on the missile began in 1967, with the hope of using the missile on Mi-24s. However, delays forced the design of an upgraded Falanga system (9M17 Skorpion) using SACLOS guidance as a stopgap. Testing of the missile was completed in 1974, and it was accepted into service in 1976. The missile has no direct western counterpart; in role it is similar to the TOW and HOT missiles which entered service around the same time, though the Shturm has greater weight, speed, and range.

It was originally given the NATO designation AS-8, before being redesignated as AT-6.

Description

The missile can be deployed on a variety of platforms, including the Mi-24V and from 1979-onwards the MT-LB based 9P149 tank destroyer. There is also a shipborne version of the missile, with the launcher holding six missiles.

The missile is transported and launched from a glass-reinforced plastic tube. The missile uses a Soyuz NPO solid-rocket sustainer, with a small booster stage to launch the missile from its tube.

The missile is SACLOS with a radio command link. The use of a radio link allows the missile to travel much faster and further than if it were wire guided. The radio link is a VHF system with five frequency bands and two codes to minimize the risk of jamming. The system comprises a KPS-53AV 8× daylight-only direct vision sight with an integrated laser rangefinder. After the missile is launched, the gunner has to keep the sight's crosshairs on the target until impact. Appropriate steering commands are transmitted to the missile via the radio link.

The missile flies above the gunner's line of sight to the target. With the range of the target determined by the laser rangefinder, the missile descends onto the target just before impact. This is done primarily to clear obstacles, instead of achieving a top-attack, and can be switched off. It is possible to engage low and slow moving helicopters with the system; however, since the missile only has a contact fuze, a direct hit would be needed.

The first use of the missile was during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, where it was employed in the later stages of the war. By this time the Mujahideen had got access to more advanced anti aircraft weapons that forced Mi-24 pilots to adopt standoff tactics using the missile to increase survivability. Sources report kill ratios of 75–85% during the war. Also a Mil demonstration in Sweden in late 1995 using an Mi-28A firing Shturm and Ataka missiles also showed good results: from a hovering helicopter, a Shturm was fired at a target 900 m away; and from level flight at 200 km/h an Ataka was fired at a target 4,700 m away. Both missiles passed within 1 m of their aiming point. Other countries such as Iraq and Syria attempted to procure the missile in the 1980s but the Soviet Union did not export the system outside of the Warsaw Pact, fearing it might fall into western hands via Iran or Israel.

In 2014, a modernized variant, the 9K132 Shturm-SM, was adopted by the Russian army, featuring a sight with television and thermal channels as well as a new missile with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead and a proximity fuse.

You're invited to the Canberra WikiMeetup on 20 November 2011
Hi! We're having a Canberra Wikimeetup on 20 November 2011 at Siren Bar in Gunghalin from 2pm to 4pm. It's most just a chance to chat with other local Wikipedians, get a chance to go a different sort of bar (which is reasonably kid friendly, serves real food, and has non-alcholic options), and, if you're interested, learning more about what Wikimedia Australia and local GLAM projects are happening. We'd love to see you and any Wikipedia/Wikimedia/wiki loving friends you have there. --LauraHale (talk) 07:04, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
