The Quickening (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)

"The Quickening" is the 96th episode of the syndicated American science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the 23rd episode of the fourth season. It is directed by series cast member René Auberjonois, who plays Odo. Dax, Kira, and Bashir go on an away mission to a plague-afflicted planet in the Gamma Quadrant.

Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the crew of the Starfleet-managed Bajoran space station Deep Space Nine. In the episode, Dr. Bashir attempts to find a cure for a centuries-old lethal disease that has destroyed the afflicted society.

Plot
Dr. Bashir, Major Kira and Lt. Cmdr. Dax travel to a planet that has been attacked by the Jem'Hadar, who have made an example of its people for resisting the Dominion by inflicting upon them an incurable disease called the "blight" that leaves spidery black painful lesions on the body that at a random time (usually before adulthood) will "quicken" into a spreading red form that results in a slow, agonizingly painful death.

Bashir is distraught when he learns that the closest equivalent to a doctor these people now possess is Trevean, a man who offers a swift and comfortable death through herbal treatments to the recently quickened. Bashir, with Dax as an assistant, attempts to develop a cure with the help of recently quickened volunteers, but fails when he finds that the electric fields from his equipment are causing the virus to mutate rapidly.

When the others leave to return to Deep Space Nine, Bashir elects to remain behind to help a recently quickened woman who is in late pregnancy. While he administers his anti-viral treatment to her, it appears to have no effect, and she dies shortly after childbirth. However, the child is born without the lesions, as the treatment apparently acts as a vaccine rather than a cure. This gives hope to the people of the planet that by applying the anti-viral treatment to pregnant women, the next generation can be free of the blight.

Back at DS9, Bashir is seen still working on a cure for the disease in those who already have it, but is unsuccessful. Captain Sisko commends the Doctor for his excellent work and reassures him that at least the next generation will be free of the disease, but Bashir does not seem entirely satisfied.

Production
The episode is directed by René Auberjonois, the fourth of eight episodes he directed in this series, and also played the main cast character Odo.

Reception
In 2014, io9 rated "The Quickening" as the 59th best episode of Star Trek overall.

In 2020, Den of Geek ranked "The Quickening" as the 8th most scary episode of all Star Trek franchise television episodes.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School is a public high school in Parkland, Florida, United States. Established in 1990 as part of the Broward County Public Schools district and named after the writer Marjory Stoneman Douglas, it is the only public high school in Parkland, serving almost the entire city as well as a small section of neighboring Coral Springs.

On February 14, 2018, the school was the scene of a deadly mass shooting perpetrated by a 19-year-old former student of the school, in which 17 people were murdered and 17 others injured. On June 14, 2024, the building where the shooting took place was demolished.

History
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School is named after the Everglades environmentalist Marjory Stoneman Douglas. The school is located just under two miles from the Everglades National Park, on part of the historical Everglades for which Marjory Stoneman Douglas advocated. The school opened in 1990, the year of her centennial, with students in grades 9 through 11, most of whom transferred from nearby schools Coral Springs High School and J. P. Taravella High School. The first senior class graduated in 1992.

Shooting
On February 14, 2018, a mass shooting at the campus perpetrated by a 19-year-old former student of the school armed with a semi-automatic AR-15 style rifle left 17 dead and 17 more wounded in less than six minutes. The gunman, Nikolas Cruz was apprehended hours later. At the time, it was the deadliest high school shooting in U.S. history, surpassing the Columbine High School massacre on April 20, 1999, in which 13 people were killed. In 2016, a Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School school resource Broward County Sheriff's Office deputy had an investigator for the Florida Department of Children and Families speak to the defendant, but the defendant's therapist said that he was "not currently a threat to himself or others" and did not need to be committed. A mental health counselor said the defendant did not meet the criteria under Florida law that allows the police to commit a mentally ill person against their will. Stoneman Douglas High School conducted a "threat assessment" on the defendant after the counselor's report, and the Florida Department of Children and Families ultimately concluded that the defendant was not a threat because he was living with his mother, attending school, and seeing a counselor.

Authorities charged the gunman with first-degree murder, and the case went to trial in September 2021 along with the case of an attack by the defendant against a jail officer. On October 20, 2021, the gunman pleaded guilty to all charges, including murder and attempted murder. On November 2, 2022, the gunman was sentenced to 34 consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole, one life sentence for each of the victims murdered and wounded by the gunman.

Students from Stoneman Douglas were instrumental in helping organize nationwide student protests following the shooting, and in spurring the revision of Florida law, on March 4, 2018, to raise the legal rifle-owner age from 18 to 21, with a three-day wait.

The building where the shooting occurred was permanently closed, and it served as evidence at the subsequent murder trial. Demolition of the structure began on June 14, 2024. The project will take several weeks to complete. Future plans for the site have not been finalized.

Athletics
The Marjory Stoneman Douglas Athletics Department operates programs in football, volleyball, lacrosse, softball, tennis, track, water polo, bowling, basketball, cheerleading, soccer, wrestling, swimming, cross country, and golf.

The cheerleading squad at the school received international attention in 2012 when its coach was fired in response to complaints from parents. Parents complained about being charged thousands of dollars for their children to participate in the program, and alleged that the coach mishandled the team's finances and encouraged bullying.

Academics
Newsweek's 2009 national ranking of high schools rated Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School as No. 208 in the U.S., and No. 38 in Florida, which was the highest ranking of any school in Broward County.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School had a Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) school grade of "A" for the 2011–2012 academic school year.

Extracurricular activities
There are numerous clubs at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School including DECA, speech and debate, Key Club, and cultural clubs including ISA (Indian Student Associations), Black Student Union Club, French Club, and Spanish club.

Drama Club
Several students in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Drama Club wrote "Shine", a song memorializing the victims of the school shooting in 2018 and others who have experienced gun violence. It has been performed at various venues, including a nationally-broadcast CNN town hall, and at the March for Our Lives rally in Washington, D.C. on March 24, 2018. It has also been performed by other musical groups, such as the Badiene Magaziner Vocal Studio at the March for Our Lives rally in New York City on the same day. The drama club performed at the 2018 Tony Awards.

Newspaper
The Eagle Eye is the student-run news publication of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. They made international press for their reporting of the 2018 shooting and its aftermath. Two issues of the student newspaper were submitted for the Pulitzer Prize for their work covering student obituaries.

Winterguard
The Stoneman Douglas World Guard has made finals at WGI World Championships 9 times.

Demographics
As of the 2017–2018 school year, the total student enrolment was 3,330. The ethnic makeup of the school was 57% White, 22% Hispanic, 11% Black, 7% Asian and 3% multiracial. 27% of the students were eligible for free or reduced cost lunch.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Salang people

Dear Honorable Wikipedians,

We, on behalf of the Salang people, appreciate your input, both positive and well, constructive. It is painfully clear, English is not our native tongue, but we are learning. Many comments were both astute and enlightened, some needed more reflection, although we are sure they were well meaning professionals. We have poured over volumes of Asian, Hispanic and European manuscripts and published works to compile a more thorough history before it fades from memory. We discovered an ancient language of the Salang - we are still reconstructing the language and looking for artifacts of said writing to validate our research. Forgive us for being proud in our sentiments of our ancestors. We are humbled that you spent time to comment on our draft statement. We are grateful for your devotion. Fame is a relative term, to us they are famous, no doubt your families are far more famous.

We inherited these writings from our grandfathers, long since past away. The challenge is we are reviving a long lost dialect. Most of the living Salangs now are lawyers, doctors, engineers, much like your own families no doubt. My forefathers travelled far and wide to different places to gather this information. Today there are at least seven thousand Salang spread across six continents. We are organizing into a people once again. Thanks to worthy endeveavors such as this, the story of our people can be told. Many who have been lost are now found and can join in their shared family heritage.

We thank you for the time you took to read this, both retractors and those who support us. We do hope you too get a chance to tell the story of your people and family someday.

Warmest regards and best wishes,

J. D. Salang

Titan (1988 video game)

Titan is a video game similar to Arkanoid or Breakout published by Titus France in 1988. It was converted to the PC Engine in 1991 by Naxat Soft.

Gameplay
Titan takes the Breakout concept and adds another dimension by allowing the object the player controls to be able to move on the Y-axis in addition to the old X-axis. The display will follow the small square which the player controls as it moves on a map where there are objects whom your goal is to make a ball hit. The player controls a small rectangle only slightly larger than the size of the ball itself and in addition to hitting the "bricks" to destroy them has to keep the ball away from dangerous hazards which will kill the ball if it hits.

In the version I know, Foxy Loxy simply doesn't believe the others and takes them inside his cave where they all watch a news report on TV which states, quite clearly, that the falling acorns are NOT to be mistaken for falling skies. --67.172.99.160 20:37, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Copyright status of text?
Much of this article seems to be exactly the same as the first reference - http://www.the-real-story.com/chickenlittle/ which states that "All content is Copyright © of The Real Story 2005"

Who copied who? Stoive 01:15, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

-Yes, I just noticed that. In fact, the first three paragraphs and the list of characters is copied verbatim from that first reference. Shouldn't this be taken down?

-I just checked. Looks like the article has been plagiarized pretty well from the start by this guy: Pabter

Hey! I certainly did not plagiarize anything. Those guys must have copied the text from Wikipedia at some point. I you look carefully, the version on that page is from a newer article than the one I wrote. By the hay, WTF happened to the article? Squirmy Wormy? Dr Foxy Loxy? Someone should revert that BS into a more coherent revision. pabter 03:21, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point - a bunch of stuff was added by an anon a couple of weeks ago. I reverted (hopefully) all of it. - DavidWBrooks 11:11, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Rumsfeld favorite debunker
He uses "Henny Penny" to deny the US will invade a country...

Chicken Licken?
This is probably not any version of the fable name. It's a derivation for a food chain name, note "Licken" -> "Licking". I have corrected this (possibly surreptitious advertising) by redirecting and fixing links. The restaurant can now be found under its own name, and it points here, but not the other way around. --Janke | Talk 10:48, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * To clarify: The restaurant page has a link (not a redirect) here (since the name is derivated from the fable), but there's no need to link to the restaurant from here - that's pure advertising. However, I've re-inserted the Chicken Licken name for the fable, Google confirms it, and made the page "Chicken Licken" a disambig, to both here and the restaurant article. --Janke | Talk 15:08, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

further clarification This certainally IS a name used in many versions of the text and is nothing to do with Kentucky-based fast food! in Europe, the name Chicken Licken is more common than the alternate 'Chicken Little' with examples of the name pre-dating KFC. Eg. Enid Blyton's telling of Aesops Fables published in 1925.

As noted in the article, ALL the characters are generally given rhyming names. It would make sense to accept that Chicken Licken is the original name as Licken rhymes with Chicken...but that many contributors to this article were raised with the character named Chicken Little and are letting personal nursery-embedded prejudices cloud their weighting to which name is given.

to avoid dispute, i have re-worded as many references as possible to refer simply to "the chicken". There is no need to repeatedly use one name or the other..the opening sentences explain that the chicken is known by differing names. If these changes are reverted, i will assume that this is done to encourage the dispute i'm trying to avoid and will report as necessary. just because you remember your mom telling you something - doesnt mean it's either true, or the only truth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.13.92 (talk) 14:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Additional Comment: I have specifically used the name 'Chicken Licken' in references to the rhyming names of the characters. it makes no sense to refer to a list of characters with rhyming names...and to start it with the name of a character 'chicken little'. that doesn't rhyme. this has previously been reverted from earlier edits showing editorial disregard for context. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.13.92 (talk) 14:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Idiom
The idiom, of the sky falling, is based on the notion (which turns out to be nearly universal among scientifically naive cultures) that the world had a solid ceiling. I think it would do for this dab to link to firmament or, better still, toward any content on the idiom specifically, but such a link doesn't quite fit into any of the categories that the links are currently grouped into.

Charles Stanhope, 8th Earl of Harrington

Charles Augustus Stanhope, 8th Earl of Harrington (9 January 1844 – 5 February 1917), known as Viscount Petersham from 1866 to 1881, was a British peer and successful polo player.

Early life
Harrington was the son of Charles Stanhope, 7th Earl of Harrington, and Elizabeth Still de Pearsall.

Polo
He learned polo in Malta while in the Cheshire Yeomanry, a regiment of which he became Lieutenant-Colonel in command from 1899 to 1905 and Honorary Colonel thereafter. In 1885 he played at the back in the Gloucestershire team that won the County Cup. Harrington won the Hurlingham Champion Cup in 1892 with Sussex County and the Rugby Open Cup with Cheshire. His rotund figure and flowing beard were a memorable image on British polo grounds and an obvious choice for caricature in Vanity Fair. Harrington was the inventor of the papier-mâché goal posts and was President of the County Polo Association and the first President of the Polo Pony Society. He was responsible for the establishment of the Polo Pony Stud book. He played at the Staffordshire Polo Club, based at Ingestre Hall, founded by Charles Chetwynd-Talbot, 20th Earl of Shrewsbury, in 1895.

Other sports
The then Viscount Petersham also took part in tilting competitions at the Wenlock Olympian Society Annual Games in 1881, when he came a joint second in flat tilting. He was invited by the games' founder, William Penny Brookes, to be President of the games for 1882, by which time he had succeeded to his Earldom. In the same games he was the only President to also participate; he competed in the flat tilting, but did not take a ring, and took part in a tent-pegging demonstration. In 1883 he donated a prize to the Society for flat tilting.

He was also Master of the Harrington Fox Hounds which hunted in south Nottinghamshire, and a prominent member of the National Hunt Committee.

Other offices
He was appointed a deputy lieutenant of Derbyshire on 26 January 1917. Harrington served as Aide-de-Camp to King Edward VII between 1907 and 1910, and to King George V thereafter.

Family
Lord Harrington's main family homes in 1883 were Elvaston Castle, Derbyshire, and Gawsworth Old Hall, Cheshire.

Lord Harrington married the Honourable Eva Elizabeth Carrington, daughter of Robert Carrington, 2nd Baron Carrington, in 1869. He died in February 1917, aged 73, at Elvaston Castle, of blood poisoning caused by burns sustained at his engineer's workshop, and was buried at Elvaston parish church. He was succeeded in his titles by his younger brother Dudley. Lady Harrington died in 1919.

Talk:Parsons code

I am not sure why the user Fwv thought that the last change (link to the relatively new Musipedia article) should be removed. To me, it seems like he or she did not spend too much time looking at the Parsons Code article. Does it really make sense to remove the reference to the Wikipedia article about Musipedia, but not the external reference to Musipedia? IMO, both kinds of links make sense since Parsons Code is central to Musipedia, and Musipedia is 'the' main application of Parsons Code. Fwv seems to be a vandal, but one with a lot of Wikipedia experience (unlike me), so I am not going to start correcting his corrections. But I want to point out his or her pointless vandalism.
 * Musipedia uses Parsons code, but I didn't think it helped describe the code per se, so I added it in a "See also" section at the end. Also, remember to assume good faith.

"Limitations" section is needed, with respect to intervals, durations, etc,.

Does the article really need eight examples?

2006 Nova Scotia general election

The 2006 Nova Scotia general election was held on June 13, 2006 to elect members of the 60th House of Assembly of the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada.

Premier Rodney MacDonald, who led a Progressive Conservative minority government in the legislature, called for the election on May 13, 2006, hoping for a majority government to better advance his agenda and a clear mandate for himself as he had not yet fought an election as leader.

Ultimately, MacDonald was returned to power leading another, slightly smaller, minority government against a strengthened New Democratic Party sitting as the Official Opposition and a weakened Liberal Party. Liberal leader Francis MacKenzie was defeated in his riding of Bedford.

Timeline

 * September 29, 2005 - Premier John Hamm, leader of the Progressive Conservative minority government, announces his intent to resign as soon as the party chooses a new leader.
 * February 11, 2006 - Rodney MacDonald is elected to replace Hamm as leader.
 * February 24, 2006 - MacDonald becomes Premier and his cabinet is sworn in.
 * May 9, 2006 - MacDonald's government introduces an "election-style" budget in the legislature.
 * May 13, 2006 - Premier Rodney MacDonald calls a general election for June 13, 2006.

Campaign
MacKenzie was an outspoken critic of the governing Tories and accused them of living in a "fantasy world" due to their promise to cut taxes and increase spending in the 2006-07 budget.

No single issue dominated the election campaign, with all parties offering up various promises for university students to seniors.

Results
The Progressive Conservatives gained several points in the popular vote, but made a net loss of two seats, with losses to the NDP partially countered by the PCs doubling their representation on MacDonald's native Cape Breton Island at the expense of the Liberals. The gap between the Liberals and NDP also significantly increased, in both the popular vote and seat count; while the Liberals and NDP had previously been nearly even, the NDP gained a significant advantage on the Liberals and moved into position as the primary opposition to the governing PCs.

Contradiction with ¡Hola!
In Hello! ' s article, it was mentioned that the Mexican edition of ¡Hola! started in 2006, with the edition from Spain sold in Mexico prior to that date. However, in ¡Hola!'s article, it mentioned that the magazine was founded in Mexico in 1944. Which is correct? -- azumanga 16:51, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Hola! was founded in Mexico in 1944 - the english and subsequent other global versions came about in response to the success of Hola!

Hola! was founded in Barcelona Spain on September 2, 1944. You can read in this link of the magazine http://br.hola.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by Javieresteban (talk • contribs) 12:25, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Plot edits
A User recently (on April 2) tried to change the plot description of this movie to reflect an incorrect storyline.

The user edited the plot to say "A Christian interviews other Christians to attempt to prove Jesus is indeed the Christ." without providing any sources to confirm the legitimacy of the edit, while claiming that he was correcting an error by removing nearly a paragraph of fairly well-sourced text and keeping the citations to give an air of credibility to his edit that would have evaporated on any closer and intellectually honest inspection

The purpose of this edit held a very likely political motivation to attempt to discredit the film by painting it as nothing more than Christian backscratching. In reality, the film portrays the events in the life of Lee Strobel which brought him from a position of atheism to a position of Christianity through a sincere investigation. Any future edits to the plot should portray this accurately. I recommend that this user's IP address be prohibited from editing this article. The contributor's previous contributions can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2607:FB90:97B:1873:3411:9A11:39FF:5419 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.126.255.76 (talk) 16:26, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Why be so harsh on the previous editor? Is it because you're worried that the edit was correct? From an analysis of Strobel's life and work, we only have his personal word to go on for being a "former" atheist, and from his gross mischaracterisation of what atheism is as a philosophy, expounded in his books, we can be very doubtful as to the veracity of his claim. My guess that the former description of this film as "A Christian interviews other Christians to attempt to prove Jesus is indeed the Christ." will indeed be far more accurate a description as what currently is on the page (it is, after all, a description of everything he has written).83.136.45.62 (talk) 23:10, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

 * When summarising a movie plot, whether ficticious or not, we give a synopsis of the storyline of the film, not a witty comment of what we think actually happened. Your suggestion that the previous line was more accurate is wildly incorrect, seeing as it is not what happened in the film.

 * Moreover, your opinion that the events of the film are a lie or exagerated are not only irrelevent to the article, but wrong. The characters in the film existed, and they were not all Christian. And your insinuation that Strobel was not an atheist because the movies depiction doesn't portray what you think it should feels a lot like you're leaning on a "no true Scotsman" argument.2600:1:921E:7448:D02C:221D:168E:9574 (talk) 05:41, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Rikadus. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Rikadus~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

David W. Harper

David W. Harper (October 4, 1961) is an American actor. He is best known for his role as Jim Bob Walton on the television show "The Waltons".

Biography
Harper began his acting career appearing as Jim Bob, the second-youngest of seven siblings, in the made-for-television film The Homecoming: A Christmas Story (1971). When the film was turned into The Waltons television series in 1972, Harper reprised his role and remained with the series throughout its nine-season run.

When The Waltons ended in 1981, Harper appeared in the television miniseries The Blue and the Gray and the theatrical film Fletch. And along with most of the other series regulars, Harper appeared in various Waltons reunion specials produced in the 1980s and 1990s.

Harper is not currently active in show business, choosing to live a quiet, private life; however, he does occasionally appear at such Waltons-related functions as cast reunions, collectible and memorabilia fairs. After working at a variety of jobs, he went to school to study business.

Talk:Tights

Picture
I won't remove the picture without discussion, but I think we can find a better one. The one on there now looks like a guy wearing it and you can kind of see his thing underneath the fabric. Surely a better picture of an obviously clothed female could be provided? Opinions? -Husnock 20:43, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * "his thing"? You would prefer a camel-toe? -unsigned anon user

I replaced the photo with one thats hows three different versions of tights: sheer, semi-opaque, and heavy opaque. It was promptly removed by someone as "inappropriate" which I dont understand. Its not vulgar, no nudity, and the women in the photo are mid 20s and not minors. I think the photo up there now is good for the article, although on some computers when i load the page I get a little red "x". Hmmm. -Husnock 22:41, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Tights worn for basketball
This is verifiable by searching google news, or web sites such as espn.com or www.yaysports.com.

Dougaa 23:35, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Better picture of women's tights?
I think it's important for the article to include a picture of tights as they are most commonly worn for fashion, by women who wear them with a skirt or dress. The current picture is good that way, but is a poor choice for showing what tights look like. For someone in the U.S., the hosiery the woman is wearing is either too sheer to be considered tights, or just barely qualifies as opaque enough. The picture doesn't give a good idea of how tights differ from pantyhose. I'd recommend including a similar picture where the tights are much more opaque, with little skin showing. Hosiery like that would work for everyone, being considered tights in both the U.S and the U.K. The new picture could either supplement or replace the current one. I don't know if I'll be able to find an appropriate picture which satisifies the Wikipedia image guidelines, but I'd encourage someone else who knows of such a picture to add it.

Are they in fact really wearing tights at all? If so, there should be a note on how a reader can tell underneath the image such as "you can barely tell they are wearing tights by looking at ..". If not, there should be a note that includes why it is impossible to tell such as "the tights aren't visible in this picture due to the lighting". Wallby (talk) 14:44, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

James E. Scripps

James Edmund Scripps (March 19, 1835 – May 28, 1906) was an American newspaper publisher and philanthropist.

Early life and education
Scripps was born in 1835 in London to James Mogg Scripps and Ellen Mary (Saunders) Scripps. His father was a bookbinder who came to America in 1844 with six motherless children. Scripps grew up on a Rushville, Illinois, farm.

Career

Scripps was employed at the Chicago Tribune in 1857 but moved to Detroit in 1859. By 1862 he had become manager of the Detroit Tribune, and he later became part owner and manager of the Detroit Daily Advertiser. When the Advertiser's premises burned in 1873, Scripps took his $20,000 insurance money and with it started his own newspaper. Scripps decided to tap the growing literate class of working men and women by launching a newspaper, The Evening News (later, The Detroit News). Running with an idea new for its time, he filled the paper with inexpensive advertising and instructed his reporters to write "like people talk". His competitors called the News "a cheap rag" and labeled his reporters "pirates", but Detroiters loved it.

Scripps later had an interest in E. W. Scripps Company with his younger half-brother, E. W. Scripps and they controlled newspapers located in Cleveland, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Chicago.

After a lengthy European acquisition tour, Scripps aided prominently in founding the Detroit Museum of Art (later, the Detroit Institute of Arts), in 1889 presenting it with a collection of old masters such as Cima da Conegliano's Madonna and Child, costing $75,000 (in 1889 dollars), among the first major accessions of early paintings for any American museum. A catalogue of the collection was published in 1889 and has been digitized by the Research Library & Archives of the Detroit Institute of Arts.

In 1900, Scripps wrote a letter for the Detroit Century Box time capsule.

Family life
Scripps's sister and one-time partner Ellen Browning Scripps was instrumental in helping establish their younger brother E. W. Scripps in the newspaper industry, resulting in the E.W. Scripps Company media conglomerate. She later became the founding donor of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography located in La Jolla, California and was the founder of Scripps College, located in Claremont.

Scripps's eldest daughter, Ellen Warren Scripps (1863–1948), married George Gough Booth, who subsequently became the publisher of the Evening News Association and independently founded Michigan's Booth Newspapers chain (acquired by S.I. Newhouse's Advance Publications in 1976). Together, George and "Nellie" also founded the world-renowned Cranbrook Educational Community in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

Death
Scripps died in 1906 at the age of 71 years old and is buried in Detroit's Woodmere Cemetery.

Books

 * Five Months Abroad (1881)
 * Memorials of the Scripps Family (1891)
 * A Genealogical History of the Scripps Family and its Various Alliances (Detroit: privately printed, 1903)
 * numerous pamphlets

Transaction authentication number

A transaction authentication number (TAN) is used by some online banking services as a form of single use one-time passwords (OTPs) to authorize financial transactions. TANs are a second layer of security above and beyond the traditional single-password authentication.

TANs provide additional security because they act as a form of two-factor authentication (2FA). If the physical document or token containing the TANs is stolen, it will be useless without the password. Conversely, if the login data are obtained, no transactions can be performed without a valid TAN.

Classic TAN
TANs often function as follows:
 * 1) The bank creates a set of unique TANs for the user.  Typically, there are 50 TANs printed on a list, enough to last half a year for a normal user; each TAN being six or eight characters long.
 * 2) The user picks up the list from the nearest bank branch (presenting a passport, an ID card or  similar document) or is sent the TAN list through mail.
 * 3) The password (PIN) is mailed separately.
 * 4) To log on to their account, the user must enter user name (often the account number) and password (PIN). This may give access to account information but the ability to process transactions is disabled.
 * 5) To perform a transaction, the user enters the request and authorizes the transaction by entering an unused TAN.  The bank verifies the TAN submitted against the list of TANs they issued to the user.  If it is a match, the transaction is processed.  If it is not a match, the transaction is rejected.
 * 6) The TAN has now been used and will not be recognized for any further transactions.
 * 7) If the TAN list is compromised, the user may cancel it by notifying the bank.

However, as any TAN can be used for any transaction, TANs are still prone to phishing attacks where the victim is tricked into providing both password/PIN and one or several TANs. Further, they provide no protection against man-in-the-middle attacks, where an attacker intercepts the transmission of the TAN, and uses it for a forged transaction, such as when the client system becomes compromised by some form of malware that enables a malicious user. Although the remaining TANs are uncompromised and can be used safely, users are generally advised to take further action, as soon as possible.

Indexed TAN (iTAN)
Indexed TANs reduce the risk of phishing. To authorize a transaction, the user is not asked to use an arbitrary TAN from the list but to enter a specific TAN as identified by a sequence number (index). As the index is randomly chosen by the bank, an arbitrary TAN acquired by an attacker is usually worthless.

However, iTANs are still susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks, including phishing attacks where the attacker tricks the user into logging into a forged copy of the bank's website and man-in-the-browser attacks which allow the attacker to secretly swap the transaction details in the background of the PC as well as to conceal the actual transactions carried out by the attacker in the online account overview.

Therefore, in 2012 the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security advised all banks to consider the PC systems of their users being infected by malware by default and use security processes where the user can cross-check the transaction data against manipulations like for example (provided the security of the mobile phone holds up) mTAN or smartcard readers with their own screen including the transaction data into the TAN generation process while displaying it beforehand to the user (chipTAN).

Indexed TAN with CAPTCHA (iTANplus)
Prior to entering the iTAN, the user is presented a CAPTCHA, which in the background also shows the transaction data and data deemed unknown to a potential attacker, such as the user's birthdate. This is intended to make it hard (but not impossible) for an attacker to forge the CAPTCHA.

This variant of the iTAN is method used by some German banks adds a CAPTCHA to reduce the risk of man-in-the-middle attacks. Some Chinese banks have also deployed a TAN method similar to iTANplus. A recent study shows that these CAPTCHA-based TAN schemes are not secure against more advanced automated attacks.

Mobile TAN (mTAN)
mTANs are used by banks in Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland and some in New Zealand, Australia, UK, and Ukraine. When the user initiates a transaction, a TAN is generated by the bank and sent to the user's mobile phone by SMS. The SMS may also include transaction data, allowing the user to verify that the transaction has not been modified in transmission to the bank.

However, the security of this scheme depends on the security of the mobile phone system. In South Africa, where SMS-delivered TAN codes are common, a new attack has appeared: SIM Swap Fraud. A common attack vector is for the attacker to impersonate the victim, and obtain a replacement SIM card for the victim's phone from the mobile network operator. The victim's user name and password are obtained by other means (such as keylogging or phishing). In-between obtaining the cloned/replacement SIM and the victim noticing their phone no longer works, the attacker can transfer/extract the victim's funds from their accounts. In 2016 a study was conducted on SIM Swap Fraud by a social engineer, revealing weaknesses in issuing porting numbers.

In 2014, a weakness in the Signalling System No. 7 used for SMS transmission was published, which allows interception of messages. It was demonstrated by Tobias Engel during the 31st Chaos Communication Congress. At the beginning of 2017, this weakness was used successfully in Germany to intercept SMS and fraudulently redirect fund transfers.

Also the rise of smartphones led to malware attacks trying to simultaneously infect the PC and the mobile phone as well to break the mTAN scheme.

pushTAN
pushTAN is an app-based TAN scheme by German Sparkassen banking group reducing some of the shortcomings of the mTAN scheme. It eliminates the cost of SMS messages and is not susceptible to SIM card fraud, since the messages are sent via a special text-messaging application to the user's smartphone using an encrypted Internet connection. Just like mTAN, the scheme allows the user to cross-check the transaction details against hidden manipulations carried out by Trojans on the user's PC by including the actual transaction details the bank received in the pushTAN message. Although analogous to using mTAN with a smartphone, there is the risk of a parallel malware infection of PC and smartphone. To reduce this risk the pushTAN app ceases to function if the mobile device is rooted or jailbroken. In late 2014 the Deutsche Kreditbank (DKB) also adopted the pushTAN scheme.

Simple TAN generators
The risk of compromising the whole TAN list can be reduced by using security tokens that generate TANs on-the-fly, based on a secret known by the bank and stored in the token or a smartcard inserted into the token.

However, the TAN generated is not tied to the details of a specific transaction. Because the TAN is valid for any transaction submitted with it, it does not protect against phishing attacks where the TAN is directly used by the attacker, or against man-in-the-middle attacks.

ChipTAN / Sm@rt-TAN / CardTAN

ChipTAN is a TAN scheme used by many German and Austrian banks. It is known as ChipTAN or Sm@rt-TAN in Germany and as CardTAN in Austria, whereas cardTAN is a technically independent standard.

A ChipTAN generator is not tied to a particular account; instead, the user must insert their bank card during use. The TAN generated is specific to the bank card as well as to the current transaction details. There are two variants: In the older variant, the transaction details (at least amount and account number) must be entered manually. In the modern variant, the user enters the transaction online, then the TAN generator reads the transaction details via a flickering barcode on the computer screen (using photodetectors). It then shows the transaction details on its own screen to the user for confirmation before generating the TAN.

As it is independent hardware, coupled only by a simple communication channel, the TAN generator is not susceptible to attack from the user's computer. Even if the computer is subverted by a Trojan, or if a man-in-the-middle attack occurs, the TAN generated is only valid for the transaction confirmed by the user on the screen of the TAN generator, therefore modifying a transaction retroactively would cause the TAN to be invalid.

An additional advantage of this scheme is that because the TAN generator is generic, requiring a card to be inserted, it can be used with multiple accounts across different banks, and losing the generator is not a security risk because the security-critical data is stored on the bank card.

While it offers protection from technical manipulation, the ChipTAN scheme is still vulnerable to social engineering. Attackers have tried to persuade the users themselves to authorize a transfer under a pretext, for example by claiming that the bank required a "test transfer" or that a company had falsely transferred money to the user's account and they should "send it back". Users should therefore never confirm bank transfers they have not initiated themselves.

ChipTAN is also used to secure batch transfers (Sammelüberweisungen). However, this method offers significantly less security than the one for individual transfers. In case of a batch transfer the TAN generator will only show the number and total amount of all transfers combined – thus for batch transfers there is little protection from manipulation by a Trojan. This vulnerability was reported by RedTeam Pentesting in November 2009. In response, as a mitigation, some banks changed their batch transfer handling so that batch transfers containing only a single record are treated as individual transfers.

Talk:Undersquare

I once again took the liberty to add extra information to this article. Hopefully it is correctly done...

Anonamous engine enthusiast 23.8.2005

I was wondering, that is there anyone who has ever driven a car or another vehicle that has an undersquare engine? I have driven a couple and must admit that these long-strokers are nice to drive even if they are not so powerful. The low rpm power feels nice and makes the engine to feel more powerful than it really is making the driving effortless and leisury. I must say that it is an extreme shame that this type of engines are not manufactured nowadays. At least, not in the passenger cars. And the typical overquare ones are so hightuned in addition to their naturally poor low-rpm operation-capabilities that they are terrible to drive in a city or town at least here in Finland where city speed limits are as low as 40-50 km/h (about 25 to 32 mph). When driving around with such speeds and considering the amount of lowspeed acceleration the longstroker's power disadvantage is offset by the enviroment, and their wide rpm powerband and low rpm torque more than makes it up.

MG Rover K-Series Notes
All MGRover K-series engines have long strokes. One must bear in mind that the K-series was originally intended for the Metro/100 and other compact cars eg 200/400, in 1.1 and 1.4 and eventually 1.6 litre forms. This engine however, was highly adaptable. In 1.8 in-line four and V6 forms, the engine is one of the most lightest in its class and produces lots of torque. Compare the performance figures to the Honda S2000 engine, which may have higher power, higher revs are needed to produce this power and, the maximum torque does comes in a lot higher in the rev range.. Try removing a 1.8 K-series engine from a Land Rover Freelander and replace it with a Honda S2000 engine, you will have something that feels like a lawnmower engine failing miserably to pull a 4x4!

The 'K' is actually a very good block which only had one design fault - this was with the cooling system. Before MG Rover went bust, Powertrain, their engine development company, were working on a completely new head to pass Euro V emissions and to fully rectify the cooling problems. They also increased the bore to 2 litres which would have made it the torquiest and lightest engine in the 2 litre class... Many other problems experienced by Lotus, Caterham and various engine tuners, were actually engineered into the engine - Indeed, Lotus VHPD version had no MGRover input at all!! To explain it all, go to these sites, I think you might find them interesting...

K-Series Development Story

Iron Duke?
Why is the Iron Duke here? It has a 4-inch bore and 3-inch stroke (according to it's page), which is most decidely oversquare.--Sable232 04:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Honda undersquare engines
Stock US Acura Integra GSR from 94-01 came with a B18C1 engine, 81mm bore and 87mm stroke. RS/LS/GS cars came with a B18B1, 81mm bore and 89mm stroke. While both are undersquare engines according to this article, the B18C1 is decidedly not undersquare in its behavior, making peak torque at 6,200 rpm, peak horsepower at 7,600 rpm, and hitting an 8,100 rpm redline. US Acura Integra Type-R with its B18C5 had the same 81mm bore and 87mm stroke, but pushes the powerband even higher with peak torque at 7,000 rpm, peak horsepower at 8,000 rpm, and an 8,400 rpm redline.

Not sure of all the details, but the Japanese Prelude Type-S managed a 7,500 redline with an 87mm bore and 90.7mm stroke. US 1992-1996 Prelude Si with its H23A1 had an 87mm bore and 95mm stroke.

Non performance oriented Honda undersquare engines include the B20B and B20Z (CRV) with 84mm bore and 89mm stroke, and any D series engine from the Civic line (D17A1 from 2001-2005 Civic DX/LX with 75mm bore and 94.4mm stroke for example).

I think the last paragraph from the article needs to be changed. Nowadays, undersquare engines tend to be quite rare, but this form of engine is still used in some applications. With every Civic from 1987 until 2005 except for the 1999-2000 Civic Si having an undersquare engine, they don't seem all that rare to me.

American Medical Student Association

The American Medical Student Association (AMSA), founded in 1950 and based in Washington, D.C., is an independent association of physicians-in-training in the United States. AMSA is a student-governed national organization. They have a membership of 68,000 medical students, premedical students, interns, medical residents and practicing physicians across the country.

Strategic priorities
In November 2007, AMSA leaders decided upon four strategic priorities:
 * Quality, Affordable Health Care for All through advocacy for healthcare reform, and a single-payer universal healthcare system
 * Global Health Equity through education, our responsibility for rational and proportional assistance for all people
 * Enriching Medicine Through Diversity by improving recruitment and retention into the medicine of under-represented minorities, while increasing the diversity of its leadership
 * Professional Integrity, Development and Student Well-Being that creates a humane and cooperative learning environment, one that will develop physicians worthy of the public trust, through work hour reform, revitalization of professionalism in the medical field, and through AMSA's PharmFree campaign.

History
The American Medical Student Association (AMSA) was founded in 1950 as the Student American Medical Association (SAMA) under the auspices of the American Medical Association (AMA). The main purpose of the organization was to give medical students a chance to participate in organized medicine.

In 1967, AMSA established its independence from the AMA, became student-governed, and began to raise its own voice on a variety of socio-medical issues, including civil rights, abortion rights, universal health care and Vietnam.

In 2001, AMSA joined the Committee of Interns & Residents and Public Citizen in filing a petition with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration asking for federal oversight of resident work hours as a matter of workplace safety. AMSA authored the Patient and Physician Safety and Protection Act of 2005, introduced by Senator Jon Corzine (S. 1297) and Representative John Conyers (H.R.1228). AMSA and the Committee of Interns & Residents also jointly maintain a website advocating for work hour reform called Hours Watch that presents the latest scientific research on the topic.

In addition to sponsoring events highlighting prospects for universal health care, medical technology, and HIV/AIDS, AMSA also has nixed the PharmFree Campaign to educate and train its members to interact professionally and ethically with the pharmaceutical industry.

Action committees
AMSA has eight Action Committees: Community & Public Health Action Committee, Environmental Health Action Committee, Gender & Sexuality Action Committee, Global Health Action Committee, Health Policy Team, Medical Education Team, Race, Ethnicity, & Culture in Health Action Committee (REACH), and Wellness & Student Life Action Committee.

IFMSA partnership
In 2008, IFMSA-USA merged with AMSA. IFMSA-USA used to be the US representative to the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations (IFMSA). Since the merger, AMSA now is able to offer international exchanges for research and clinical electives to nearly 70 countries through SCORE and SCOPE, respectively. The exchanges are available to medical student members, while only research exchanges are available to select pre-med members. AMSA also now sends a delegation of students to the semi-annual IFMSA General Assemblies (GA) of IFMSA.

PharmFree

The PharmFree project, established by the AMSA in 2002, was created from the belief that the medical profession needs more detachment from pharmaceutical firms. Spending on marketing to physicians, which includes gifts to medical students, rose from $12.1 billion in 1999 to $22 billion in 2003. Based on the premise that taking gifts from pharmaceutical companies creates a conflict of interest for doctors, AMSA now urges both students and practicing physicians to 'just say no' to all personal gifts from Pharmaceutical companies.

The PharmFree campaign has included a march on Pfizer offices in New York City, where members assembled at the firm's front doors and dumped thousands of pens marked with the company's logo on the doorstep. Additionally, under the leadership of then-President Leana Wen, AMSA started the Counter Detailing Campaign in 2005 to encourage physicians-in-training to educate practicing physicians about alternative sources of information regarding pharmaceuticals. As "detailing" is the concept of drug representatives selling biased information to physicians, AMSA came up with the concept of "counter detailing" as an opposing concept, for students to bring physicians evidence-based sources of information. In May 2007, AMSA released the PharmFree Scorecard, the first to evaluate medical schools according to their pharmaceutical interaction policies. Of all the medical schools in the United States, five received a grade of “A,” which translates into a comprehensive school policy that restricts pharmaceutical representatives to both the medical school campus and its academic medical centers. Forty schools received an “F” for their lack of policies or encouraging physicians-in-training to obtain information from drug representatives.

Allies and supporters of this campaign include No Free Lunch, AARP, Consumers Union,  the Medical Letter,  and the National Physicians Alliance.

AMSA Foundation
The Foundation was established by AMSA in 1964 as a means to address issues in medical education and to provide low cost, small emergency loans to medical students in need. In 1974, it became a programming arm of AMSA.

Leadership
AMSA's members elect a National President to serve a one-year term, based in AMSA's Reston offices. The President takes a year's leave from medical school in order to serve AMSA and its mission. AMSA also has staff that work in its Sterling offices, including an executive director. In 2006, AMSA's long-time executive director, Paul R. Wright, retired.

Logo

To celebrate AMSA's 60th anniversary, a new logo was designed, containing a Rod of Asclepius incorporated into a shield. The letters AMSA rest upon the fully spelled out name of the organization, using the font "Today."

The crest contains four colors; from top right clockwise, they are and represent:
 * Blue - (although it is not explicitly explained why the blue is in the shield, the color blue in general represents AMSA's history and tradition, since its logo has always been blue)
 * Purple - Purple illustrates the advocacy efforts on behalf of LGBT medical students and those discriminated against based on gender and sexuality
 * Red - Red was incorporated into the new logo to reflect the organization's dedication to fighting the global AIDS pandemic
 * Green - Green exemplifies AMSA's commitment to a better environment and environmental health and the organization's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint

There is also a blazon as to the usage of the logo, including size, dimensions and colors. These can be found at AMSA's website.
